The Bloody Truth.

☠

"The Seattle Maniac. That's what they called your father, yes?"

For a few seconds, Riley remained quiet. Whenever the topic of her father came up, she would immediately go into defense mode for herself because usually what people had to say always rubbed her the wrong way.

He was the maniac, not her.

"Yes,"

"How was he like with you?" Taehyung further questions, curious as to what her response would be. He was well aware of what her life has been like. They all were.

Licking her lips, Riley sat back and eyed her half-empty wine glass. "He was a great dad. The best kind any girl could ask for. I knew he loved me but..." She trails off, quietly thinking back to the night everything was revealed. "Even now it's hard to accept what he did because that wasn't the man I knew,"

All three men shared a knowing look that Riley didn't catch. "I can assure you, Riley, he has always been that way," Eunwoo states, placing his arms on the table while leaning forward. "He was never a good person,"

"So I've been told," Riley swiftly counters back. In the past year alone she has learned every vile thing about her father. The atrocious murders he committed. His fragile mindset. His apparent taste for blood. Still, finding out who he truly did, did not hurt her any less.

"You never knew he was a drug lord?" Wooyoung asks, catching Riley's gaze.

She softly shook her head. "No. I just knew he was a businessman. He had a whole office building. Never had a reason to question anything," Ever since she could remember her father, Rio, always were suits or dressed up nicely. Always left in the mornings and came back in the afternoon. So when it came to the house they lived in. The cars they drove. The trips they took. Riley just assumed it was because he was simply successful.

All that mattered to Riley was that Rio was an amazing father. He showed up and supported her through everything. And when it came to getting advice, he always gave the most encouraging speeches.

"No mother?"

"She died not long after giving birth to me. I never knew her," She reveals, drinking the rest of her wine. "My father dated but nothing ever really lasted,"

Carefully reaching towards her, Eunwoo traced the closed wound on her chest that was slightly above her left breast. "What happened here?"

Riley looked down and followed Eunwoo's hand, up to his arm then finally his handsome face. "I was shot when I was fourteen but I don't remember much. Only that I was in the wrong place at the wrong time,"

Eunwoo let out a soft laugh through his nose and pulled his hand away. "You got shot because of your father my love," He informs her, watching as her eyes squint at him.

"How do you know?"

"Because we were the ones who saved you," Taehyung says, leaning his head onto his closed fist.

Riley eyed him confused. "What?"

"That night Riley, your father decided to make a quick stop to handle "business" but it was a setup. He had managed to escape, however, not before you were hit by one of the stray bullets that lit up his car," Wooyoung tells her while pouring wine into his own glass. "Rio wasn't sure if you'd make it to the hospital alive so he came to us and pleaded for your life,"

All three men watched as heavy confusion spread across her face as she tried to process what she just heard. "We agreed of course because you were only a child but...not without making a deal first," Eunwoo chimes in, leaning back against his chair.

"What kind of deal?" Riley swiftly probes, eyeing each man suspiciously. Their words just weren't making sense to her at all. They all looked around her age, so how could they have possibly been there that night?

"Well, that's the thing princess, at the time even we weren't sure. We just told Rio to be on the lookout and when we made up our minds, we'd come find him," Taehyung slyly smirks, sending a shiver straight up Riley's spine.

For some reason, that pet name seemed to trigger something in her.

"Years had gone by and we had finally agreed on what we wanted however....daddy dearest wasn't here for it. While he may have been a ruthless man, he wasn't the kind to give up his most precious gift so easily or at all for that matter," Taehyung adds with a roll of his eyes.

Slightly slamming his glass onto the table to make Riley focus her eyes on him, Wooyoung gave her a dark look that made her feel a bit more nervous. "We let him think he could keep you safe from us but he's human and like most of them, he was a fool. And what we want, we always get,"

"I-I don't understand," Everything they were saying clearly had a double meaning yet as to what had Riley lost. She was starting to get scared and she felt as though they could sense it.

The way they were looking at her made her feel very uneasy and she didn't like it.

"He refused to hold up his end of the deal and in return we made him suffer. Rio thought he could protect you but he was wrong," Eunwoo mutters, moving a piece of her hair behind her shoulder.

Riley shook her head. "What the hell are yall talking about? Protect me for what?!"

Standing up, Taehyung let out a soft chuckle as he walked closer to where Riley sat frozen, staring up at him. "From us Riley," He says softly while pulling her up from her chair. "Getting into his mind was easy and making him kill was even easier,"

Riley barely took a step back when she felt someone behind her. Looking up over her shoulder, she nearly jumped out of her skin seeing Wooyoung and Eunwoo both standing there. Her eyes blinked rapidly trying to process what was happening. She didn't even see them move.

"Tell me something my love, do you believe in the supernatural?" Taehyung questioned, lifting her hand towards his cool lips where he placed a single kiss on her fingertips.

Riley looked at him up and down. "No,"

"Don't worry, you will soon enough," Wooyoung smiles, slowly running his fingers down her exposed arm.

They watched as Riley visibly shivered. "What is this?"

Gripping her chin, Eunwoo forced her to look at him as he stood by her side. "We've been watching you and now that we have you...you will be ours forever,"

It was as if something inside of Riley's mind finally clicked at that moment. Those eyes. She recognized them. "You..." She weakly croaks out, staring at him as fear started to consume her.

She knew those eyes.

"You humans...are so weak," Taehyung scoffs eyeing Riley from head to toe, admiring her beauty and the way her white dress hugged her frame. "It's going to be fun to break you and make you scream my name princess,"

"You're scared...I like that," Wooyoung mumbles against her shoulder before placing a kiss on it. "You smell good too,"

"Stop!" Riley shrieks, stepping away from them until her back met a brick wall, feeling beyond creeped out. She glanced towards the door debating if she could make a run for it.

"Go ahead and try," Eunwoo calmly encourages her, sliding his hands into his pockets. "Besides, I plan to make you run from me in many different ways,"

For a minute, Riley stood there quietly weighing out her options. She could run but how far would she get? They were too high up so jumping out of a window would be practically suicidal. While she could fight, taking all three of them on would be pointless. So what the fuck was she going to do?

Before she could even think of another plan, all three men were close to her in a blink of an eye.

"I'm afraid there is nothing you can do my love," Eunwoo breathes, grabbing Riley by the neck. "Believe me, after what we're about to give you, I doubt you will want to leave,"

His words were the last thing Riley heard when she felt tense pain coming from both her wrist. She watched in horror as Taehyung and Wooyoung suck blood from her veins as Eunwoo held her in place.

"Relax," He softly advises, sensing her panic. "The more you resist, the more it will hurt,"

Riley looked at him as if he was crazy but after a minute, she listened to his words and let out a deep breath to calm down. The wave of pleasure she felt was instant. Her brown eyes stared up at Eunwoo as he briefly focused on her thighs before slowly looking up to meet her gaze.

"You get wet easy as fuck I see," He suddenly comments, just as Riley felt the moistness in her panties. "Your scent is going to drive me crazy," He adds, gripping her neck tighter.

She couldn't explain it but his vulgar words made her throb. This wasn't supposed to be happening like this.

"She likes the way you said that," Wooyoung softly laughs once he pulled away, her blood coating his lips and teeth. "You taste as good as I knew you would princess,"

"I bet that pussy tastes even better," Taehyung practically purrs, licking the wound on her wrist closed. "That ass too,"

Their words only made her want them more. This sense of desire that she was currently feeling was strong and undeniable.  She wanted them closer to her. Almost as if she was craving their touch. Riley felt as if she was losing her mind. Just moments ago she was afraid for her life now all she wanted was to be fucked senseless.

Eunwoo smiled as he read her mind, releasing her throat and taking a step back. He could feel his dick jump at the sight of her. She was so gorgeous and alluring, even more so as she stared back at them with a lust-filled gaze.

"Damn. I'm going to enjoy fucking you senseless my love,"

Ch. 12: Guilty

Hyeri began shooting for her new miniseries with lots of enthusiasm. She’s determined to blow everyone away and make JJS see that she doesn’t need fake relationships and other gimmicks to gain viewers. She simply wants to act and be great at it.

Yoongi is still working on his group and solo music, but he also took on a big project for an interactive music exhibit. It’s something he hadn’t done before and he liked the idea of a challenge. However, he didn’t realize how much of a challenge it really would be. It’s more than producing and writing a song. It’s also breaking down every single element of the music in ways he’d never done before. Every instrument, beat, reverb, etc. has to be finely dissected for this exhibit. It’s taking more out of him each day and the looming deadline isn’t much help.

Yoongi and Hyeri have seen less of each other lately. It’s not something new for them, but as usual it’s not exactly easy either. While they’ve been making progress in rebuilding their relationship, it’s still nowhere near 100%, and that only makes these extended times apart even harder.

Hyeri still doesn’t trust Yoongi. She’s happy that they’ve been getting closer again, but she still doesn’t trust him. The less she sees of him the more she worries that he’ll slip back into drinking. She knows he likes to have a glass or two when he’s working, she just hopes that if he does have a drink he doesn’t go overboard.

She’s constantly checking for any signs that he may have slipped up. When he’s not home she’s checking all of his hiding places for new bottles. When he is home she stays close to see if she can smell alcohol on his breath or smell his attempt the cover it up. So far she’s found nothing but she still wants to stay vigilant.

Yoongi knows Hyeri has been working extra hard on this drama. After her falling out with JJS over her unauthorized statement, she’s felt like she has to prove herself even more as an actress. Yoongi can tell she’s been more stressed than ever and he wants to make sure he doesn’t do anything to make it worse.

He hasn’t drank a thing since he’s been back working in the studio. He knows the guys are still trying to keep an eye on him and he knows Hyeri has been digging through his things looking for hidden drinks. He doesn’t blame anyone for it, he put this on himself.

None of that changes the fact that he’s under a lot of stress though. His solo work isn’t so much an issue because he can work on that for as long as he wants and release it whenever he wants. His group work and the special project he took on however have deadlines and it’s weighing him down.

He submitted the songs he had for the group, but there were a lot of changes that were suggested he make on nearly every one of them. Each song had something that wasn’t quite right, or something one of the guys felt was either too much or not enough. He’s starting to feel like he can’t get anything right.

The deadline for his exhibition project is coming closer and that isn’t helping. He’s worked tirelessly on the project but still can’t seem to see the end in sight. He had no idea it would be so labor intensive.

Everyday he leaves the studio to go home he hears the faint whisper of the hidden bottle of whiskey in his car. Everyday he has to use every bit of power in him to ignore the temptation. If Hyeri smells it that could be the end for him.

Then he has a particularly rough day. He can’t take any more. Nothing is going right. His computer crashed before he could save his work and he had to start over. His melodies weren’t flowing right, and his beats were falling flat. He finally walked out of his studio to get some air.

His legs carried him out to his car in the parking garage. He considered going home for the day. Maybe calling it a day early will give him time to relax a little and maybe he’ll feel more refreshed in the morning.

The moment he sits in the driver’s seat he can only sigh, groan, curse, then sigh again. Going home now would just leave more work for him to have to rush through later. He leans his head back and takes a deep breath. He just needs a moment to clear his mind before he jumps back into work.

It’s a long moment. A frustrating moment. He feels so on edge and the only thing he can think to ease his anxiety is a sip from the whiskey in his car. A small sip, nothing crazy. Although a small sip is crazy for him, so he takes more than a sip.

It’s like he lost control of himself for a brief moment. His hands were moving but he wasn’t the one moving them. The moment the dark beverage touched his tongue he felt like an electric current shot through his entire body. It invigorates him so much he can’t help but take another gulp.

“Fuck,” he exhales. That drink shouldn’t feel so good.

He sits a little longer fighting with his better judgement before he finally gets out of his car and heads back to his studio. With the bottle of whiskey tucked into his pocket. He knows he fucked up. The bottle is small, it can’t be that bad.

He gets in the studio and takes another drink. The small bottle is half empty now. He knows he should stop. It’s the only bottle he has so he should save it. It’s too bad that the worst part of him has come out and forced his hand to put the bottle to his lips and finish the rest off.

He immediately throws himself back into his work. It’s strange how he feels more productive now. Maybe it’s the whiskey or maybe it’s the guilt trying to mask itself as productivity. Either way, he’s able to power through and make good progress. By the time he leaves later that night he feels like he’s actually accomplished something.

He gets home, cleans himself up, and slips into bed next to Hyeri who’s already asleep. He makes sure his breath doesn’t have a hint of alcohol smell then allows himself to drift off to sleep.

Yoongi wakes up the next morning to an empty bed. Hyeri has been starting her days extra early for her scheduled shoots. Yoongi typically tries to wake up with her just to see her off, but he’s not always able to do so like today. He slept so hard he didn’t even hear her leave which he typically does. He gets out of bed to get his day started. He makes himself a quick breakfast and gets ready for another day in the studio.

On his way there he’s hit with that sneaky voice telling him he should stop and pick up something to drink along the way. It’s tempting. He feels like he got so much more work done yesterday once he had a drink. He knows its a slippery slope though, and yesterday was only a mistake he made in a moment of weakness. He goes straight to the studio without giving in to the temptation.

Getting himself started is rough. He stares into space for about 20 minutes before he finally snaps out of it and begins working. It’s frustrating. Nothing is flowing. That spark of life he had yesterday is nowhere to be found.

He sits in annoyance a moment before his body falls under the control of some outside force and he taps a message out to one of their managers. He’s not proud of himself. He knows he fucked up. He knows it’s so damn hard for him to stop. He’s so ashamed of himself.

Though he only requested a single bottle of whiskey, his manager returned with that plus a gift with a bottle of cognac from one of the brands the guys represent. They get gifts like that all of the time from sponsors, prospective sponsors, and various companies just trying to get their name out there. The timing of this gift couldn’t have been worse though.

Yoongi knows that if he got the gift, so did the rest of the guys. If the rest of the guys got it then they know he did too. If they discover he had even the smallest sip from the bottle they would notice and probably cause a scene. So he puts the bottle up on his shelf to replace one of the decorative bottles that Namjoon had gotten rid of. If anyone were to come and question him they would see that the unopened bottle is on the shelf untouched.

Instead, he cracks open the bottle of whiskey the manager brought him and takes a big drink. That electric feeling comes back and he feels empowered. He gets back to work feeling the boost of productivity running through him.

Yoongi tends to work long periods of time without a break. He only pulls himself away from work to take a breath and another sip of whiskey when he feels the effects of the last one had already worn off. That’s how his day goes.

The next day isn’t much different. The only change is that he stops by the liquor store on his way to the studio to get himself a new bottle of whiskey to take the place of the one he finished off the day before.

The day after that, he does it again. This time he just buys a bigger bottle so that it will last him a bit longer. However that didn’t work the way he thought it would, so the following day he buys two big bottles. By the end of the week he’s downing at least a big bottle and a half a day.

Then one day, just a week shy of the deadline for his special project, he drinks two bottles of whiskey because he’s so stressed. In his mind it will give him a boost. In reality, he’s practically useless. The additional bottles of tequila and gin he asked a manager to get for him certainly hasn’t helped either.

That night he gets little done. He can’t concentrate and he can hardly see straight. He’s only able to sober up slightly when he gets a text from Hyeri asking when he’d be home. He knows he can’t go home in this state. She’ll no doubt smell it on him and get upset.

“Fuck,” he groans trying to type out a message to her.

The guilt sets in almost immediately after he tells her he’ll stay the night in his studio because he still has much to do. He didn’t want to fuck up again and give her a reason to leave. He felt like he got so lucky with the second chance she gave him, but now he’s realizing that he’s already fucked up that second chance the moment he drank the whiskey he had in his car.

He knows he can’t face her when he’s like this so he tries avoiding her. He stays that night in his studio. He goes home late the next evening knowing she’ll be asleep when he gets there. He washes up and gets in the bed next to her as if he hadn’t spent the majority of the day drinking. When he wakes the next morning she’s already gone. It’s almost as if he doesn’t have to face her at all. He doesn’t have to face the guilt.

Except when she calls him during her breaks and constantly texts him whenever she gets a moment. She may not be able to see him, but the guilt beats him down more and more every time he sees her name show up on his phone. He thought he could stop on his own or at least cut back, but every time he fails.

Hyeri is no fool. She was suspicious of Yoongi before he even gave her a reason to be suspicious. She knew he had a bottle of whiskey in his car. She found it when she was leaving for her shoot one morning and thought she had left her sunglasses in his car. At that time the bottle was still unopened. When she checked a few days later, the bottle was gone.

At the very least she knows he drank the whiskey. His behavior since then has led her to believe that he’s definitely drinking more while he’s in the studio. She knows he’ll shut down if she tries to confront him about it. Even if he admits it to her, she knows he’ll get defensive. Not only that, but she knows he likes to have a drink while he works. While she would prefer if he didn’t drink at all right now, she doesn’t want to seem like she’s attacking him if a small drink at work is all he’s having. Too bad that’s not all he’s having while he’s working.

He’s drowning in another bottle in a desperate attempt to find the motivation to get through his work. Instead he spends much too much time scrolling his phone. He goes from unmotivated to terribly guilty when he comes across an article about Hyeri.

The article talks about Hyeri working on a new drama and how she’s recovered from her car accident. Actually it talks a lot about her accident. It’s not a very long article, but the pictures included are what hit Yoongi the hardest. The first picture is just her smiling face from a red carpet event she attended a year ago. Her sweet smile that he’s fallen head over heels in love with. Then the next picture is one that was taken of her car after her accident. Until now, Yoongi hasn’t seen any photos related to her accident. He had no desire to see the carnage he felt he created. But now that carnage is staring right back at him.

He knew her car had been totaled but he never saw how the front of her car had been completely smashed in. He had no idea she hit the pole so hard that it was left tilted, having to later be replaced. The crushed metal and shattered glass feels like it’s choking him as his eyes remain glued to the photo.

“I should have been with her,” he softly cries to himself. “I’m no good for her.”

The guilt comes pouring out of his eyes and he can’t stop it. He feels so guilty for everything. He wishes he was there for her. He wishes he could have comforted her while she was hurting. He wishes he could have stopped her from going out that night. He wishes he wasn’t such a drunken piece of shit.

Through his tears he searches the internet for a solution to ease his guilt. He feels he needs to do something to make up for everything and more. He wants to give Hyeri something big enough to make up for his infidelity and his excessive drinking that he’s still partaking in behind her back. He hates himself so much.

The next day he can’t bring himself to go into the studio. Hyeri has an evening call time for once so he wants to stay home with her while he can. His guilt is soul crushing so he’d rather stay with her to stay away from temptation than go to the studio and keep making things worse. Because he knows he won’t be able to resist a drink the moment he gets there.

He starts the day making her breakfast. He showers her with love and does everything to make sure she doesn’t have to lift a finger. Hyeri relishes in the princess treatment that he’s giving her. She mentioned being a bit sore in the shoulders from yesterday’s shoot so Yoongi gave her a massage when she was done with breakfast.

Throughout the day he tells her how much he loves her and how lucky he is to have her. He mentions feeling like he’s still not enough, but she scolded him as she always does when he says those things. She knows he’s not without faults, and neither is she, but she wouldn’t still be there if she didn’t feel so strongly for him. She has hope that they can survive anything if they can survive all they’ve gone through during his tour. She knows she’s probably being naive as usual, but she’s always felt Yoongi had something special. Something she’d never experienced before. A love she never knew existed.

He caters to her every need. Makes her the most delicious food while keeping her diet in mind. He never makes eye contact with people when he’s speaking to them, but he’ll always make eye contact with her. He makes sure she has everything she needs to get through her shoot and throws in a couple of snacks that she can munch on if she gets a little hungry. He offers to drive her to set where he’ll pick her up later once she’s done. She tries to tell him there’s no need for him to go out of his way, but he insisted.

After he gets her dropped off for her shoot he begins putting his plan in motion. He heads home to switch cars. He takes Hyeri’s rental back to the rental lot. From there he gets a manager to take him to a luxury dealership where the 4-door navy blue luxury sedan he bought for Hyeri is waiting for him.

She told him not to buy her a car. She told him a few times. To Hyeri it’s too much and she would feel bad accepting something so extravagant. To Yoongi, it’s only a small piece of a larger operation to show her how much he loves her and definitely not to try masking his own guilt for slipping into his addiction again.

Yoongi makes a few more stops before he gets home. He starts by setting up the large flower arrangement near the front door. It will be the first thing she sees when she walks inside. From there he has an assortment of Hyeri’s favorite cuts of meat. She enjoys having her own bbq experience at home so Yoongi made it happen with a table grill set up on their balcony outside. In the bathroom is a full spa set equipped with face masks, bath bombs, body scrub, and moisturizers. Laying across the bed is a cozy robe and fuzzy slippers for her to slip into after her relaxing bath. Along with that is the necklace he bought for her in New York. He never sent it with the other gifts he got her because he wanted to give it to her when he got back. Of course things didn’t quite go to plan so he had it tucked away in one of his bags where he’d forgotten about it. Now he’ll finally give her the lavish necklace that he knows she’ll love.

Yoongi set up what he thought would be the perfect evening for Hyeri. He set up everything she loves and bought her a car that he knows she’s had on her wishlist. The final touch before he left later that night to pick her up, was the trail of rose petals he left going from the front door to the bedroom. She always loves that extra romantic touch.

Yoongi drove Hyeri’s new car to pick her up from her set. Since she wouldn’t know to look for that car, he parked and stood outside waiting for her to emerge from her trailer. He’s nervous and he isn’t sure why. Would she be upset with him for buying her a car when she told him not to? Would she immediately realize that he’s doing this because he feels guilty for relapsing?

“Hey!” Hyeri says approaching him. She has a big smile that lets Yoongi know she had a good day. “What’s this?” She asks looking at the shiny new car she hasn’t seen before.

“Your ride,” Yoongi says opening the passenger side door for her.

“What?” She asks while getting in anyway.

Yoongi runs around the car and hops into the driver side. He’s been sober all day and he’s proud of himself. He flashes his big gummy smile at Hyeri then pulls off to head home. He feels invigorated. Sure his guilt is the reason why he’s doing this, but the anticipation to see how she’ll react to it all makes him ecstatic.

When they arrive home Yoongi opens the door for her so she can enter first. She immediately gasps at the trail of rose petals across the floor and the large floral arrangement in front of her.

“Yoongi,” she says admiring the flowers. “What is all of this?”

“There’s more,” he smiles gesturing for her to follow the trail to the bedroom.

Hyeri walks along the fallen petals to the bedroom where she’s greeted by her new robe and spa set. She’s in awe at everything Yoongi has put together, and even more impressed when she feels how soft and cozy the robe is.

“Yoongi,” she says turning to look at his smiling face standing in the bedroom doorway. “You did all of this?”

“Yes,” he says stepping towards her. “It’s all for you, babe. The flowers, the dinner I prepared, the robe, the car. It’s all yours.”

“The….car?” She thinks a moment at the car he brought her home in. The one that did look suspiciously like the car she had been wanting for a while. “Yoongi, no.”

“It’s yours,” he says handing her the key.

“Yoongi,” she says trying to hold back tears. “How? I mean, why? For me? Why?”

“Why not?” He smiles. “You deserve all of it and more.”

“But-“

He interrupts her by placing his lips on hers. She leans in wanting to savor this feeling of him being so warm and affectionate. He hasn’t kissed her like this in so long that she almost forgot what it feels like. He’s so delicate. So gentle with her.

“I love you,” he says pulling her into him tighter. “I know I’m a fuck up, but I love you more than anything in this world.”

“Yoongi,” she says softly as she wraps her arms around his neck.

“I’m sorry for everything I’ve done,” he continues. “I know this isn’t enough to make up for all the shit I’ve done, but I will make it up to you forever, Hyeri. I love you.”

“Baby, this is all so…” she pauses unsure of the word she’s looking for to describe how full her heart feels right now. Instead she leans in and kisses him gently. “I love you so much.”

She kisses him again lingering against his soft lips. Everything she’s feeling is so overwhelming that all she can do is press her body into him harder. She continues kissing and pressing him until he falls back onto the bed with her still attached to his lips.

Hyeri can’t help herself. She hasn’t felt Yoongi like this in too long. Certainly not since before he went on tour. She straddles him and pushes his back flat on the bed. She goes in for another kiss, then slides her tongue into his mouth. Not tasting alcohol on him only fuels her more. He did all of this for her and he’s sober. This is the Yoongi she fell in love with.

Yoongi can’t even comprehend how good he feels right now. He’s missed her taste and her touch. He’d been so guilt ridden that he tried to avoid intimacy with Hyeri. He craved her touch but felt like a shitty person when he thought of how much he hurt her. But now that guilt is taking a backseat to the feeling of her removing his shirt and kissing a trail from his chest all the way down to his belly button.

Hyeri is eager and assertive in a way she’s never been before. She’s usually the submissive one. The one who simply lays back and lets Yoongi take control and send her around the world. Not this time. She’s overwhelmed with so much feeling that she hardly even gives him a chance to take a breath. She has a new drive and motivation that’s powering her to remove Yoongi’s pants and begin massaging his growing hardness with just the amount of pressure she knows drives him wild.

All Yoongi can do is let out a breathy groan at the sensation he gets from her touch. This is the side of her he’s not used to. This confidence and control she’s showing as she removes her own clothes and makes herself comfortable straddling his lap again. She goes in for another kiss and he can feel her grinding her wet pussy against him. He’s about to go feral.

His hands trace every part of her body while she’s still attached to his lips. Once she feels he’s reached the pinnacle of longing, she lifts herself then slowly, gently, and delicately slides down his shaft taking every part of him in. The mewl she unleashes gives him chills.

Her love is incredible. The way she has full control as she bounces up and down is insatiable. He reaches for her breasts and teases her nipples pulling a heavy moan out of her. Her breaths increase and all he can do is marvel at the way she starts to unravel on top of him.

She leans into him while still bouncing her hips up and down on him. Her mouth finds his neck and she bites him like she never has before. While it isn’t unusual for her to nip at his skin, this time was much different. She was still gentle as ever, but he could tell she wanted to leave a mark with that bite.

That’s exactly what she did. That was her goal. He’s hers and she’s his and she wants it to be known. For the first time, after the fighting and heartache, she doesn’t give a damn who knows about her and Yoongi. She wants the world to know.

Yoongi hisses when she slides her tongue over the mark she left. It stings so good to him. He tightens his grip around her body bracing for his impending explosion. He can tell she’s close to her end too.

She keeps her rhythm until she can’t will her body to go any longer. She’s trying to find stability when Yoongi pulls her even closer into his body and begins picking up where she left off. His hips piston into her until she lets out a loud whine and goes limp into him.

He chases his undoing with the sound of her trying to catch her breath in his ear. She means everything to him. More than he can even describe. He can’t believe he had ever been so stupid to get so drunk on tour that he let complete strangers give him blow jobs without a second thought.

No one could ever love him the way Hyeri loves him. No one could ever make him feel as good as she does when he hits his climax and cums to the sound of her moaning in his ear. She’s the best thing that ever happened to him and he did the dumbest, most unforgivable things in his mind while on tour.

He holds her tight, cradling her head and holding her against his body. He tries to catch his breath but he suddenly finds himself trying to hold back tears. He’s never loved someone like this in his life and no one has ever shown him the level of unconditional love that Hyeri shows him.

He slowly pulls out of her but keeps his hold on her body. She softly kisses his neck giving him a warm yet guilty feeling.

“I love you,” Yoongi says. He wishes he could say more but if he opens his mouth again he may lose the fight against his guilty tears. All he can do is continue holding on to her as if she would disappear forever if he let go. She means the world to him but he’s convinced he’s a piece of shit. He knows he’s a piece of shit.

leahpurcell So proud of our #TheLostFlowersOfAliceHart family! Taking home the @aacta Award for AACTA Award for Best Miniseries 💐 We poured our heart and soul into this series. Such an amazing team and powerful story by Holly Ringland 💖

Here are some red carpet BTS moments for you….

[mansionofhaunts]

I think the timing on this would have been more well-received had FCG not done his big move last episode, but also...I think they'd locked this in a while ago, and they couldn't really back away from it? Like, this is meant to get Dorian back in with the group for a bit, and probably explain what he was up to, since we haven't seen him for like...two years, at this point.

I do feel like they should have...probably just done another EXU miniseries sometime after the solstice, but...I dunno. I guess they probably prioritized getting Candela off of the ground, and Kymal was...underwatched, I'll say. I dunno! Feels like they're experimenting with how to expand their offerings, but, like a lot of brands built around personalities...it's hard to really expand that core group without alienating some fans. I think that's most clear with Kymal, but it looks like Midst isn't really breaking out, and interest in Candela seems to be dropping pretty steadily as well.

I do think about...a lot of the conversations around diversity and the Critical Role table, and I think they're all very much aware of that criticism and it seems like they want to address it. Their biggest hurdle to clear there is getting people to care when the main eight core cast members aren't there, and having a cast that large means adding anyone becomes a logistical nightmare.

I dunno! They're in a weird place, because they're pretty clearly still the big dogs in the space (nobody else has Amazon deals, for one, and nobody is currently doing livestreams to movie theaters (Acq Inc did that like...ten years ago, I think?)), but I think you can also see...I won't say the downfall of Critical Role, but you can see possibly a big slide in popularity coming, as the industry changes a bit. I think they're addressing what they can, but some of the things that are now limiting their growth are things that made them as big as they are in the first place. They can't really change the cast; people will be upset at who isn't there. They can't really add to the cast permanently; there are already arguably too many people there. They can't make the episodes shorter; their fans love that the episodes are unedited. They might be able to get away with shorter campaigns, given the drop in viewers over time (I know people like to do thinkpieces about why this is that coincidentally confirm their own opinions about the series, but I think it's mostly because it's very easy to fall behind after you miss one four hour episode)

Anyways: that was longer than I'd planned, but I've been thinking about the...larger bts stuff for Critical Role for a while, and tonight's episode was the first live one I've watched in months.

Oh, I suppose I shoulda been said this but uh...

Requests are open!

I'm accepting requests for any of the fandoms featured in my masterlist (with the exception of BTS, who I no longer write for) but a few specific characters/au's currently have priority:

(In order of priority)

Characters:

Miguel O'Hara

Ratonhnhaké:ton/Connor Kenway

AU's:

Yandere

Spider person!reader (for Miguel)

Modern (for Connor)

These only take priority because they're the characters and universes that I currently have the most inspiration for. (Seriously, I pumped out like three long ass, super detailed posts about Miguel in the span of 2 days. The brainrot is very serious. 🙃)

Also, I'm currently working on a couple things:

More Yandere!Connor Kenway content

A Miguel x reader secret relationship drabble (potentially "miniseries")

So, if you've got any thoughts/tidbits to share/things you'd like to see regarding Miguel or Connor, feel free to shoot me an ask!

Requests are now closed! Please visit this post for more information.

I’m obsessed with your bts video diaries content, it’s SO fun

And I am having so much fun writing it, Kind Anonymous Friend!

A TV show isn't ever just a TV show, right? The Band of Brothers cast and The Pacific cast are still doing panels and appearances and it's just really fun to imagine what the half-life of this imaginary TV show and its imaginary actresses would look like. It's like...creating fake ephemera. And this is a fake history in a fake universe, right? So I have a lot of ideas about post-war life and the Girl Gang's eventual families, and a lot of that works alongside the question of 'what would it take for you to tell this story to someone'. We know that in actual history, men came home and didn't want to, or couldn't, talk for a long, long time. How much harder would it be for a woman? And there's an issue, too, of figuring how this story would be cut for time, or who they'd focus on more.

(I think the show's main perspective characters would be Joan, Marj, Doris, and Billie, in case you were wondering.)

If you've got a specific Darkening Sky scene you'd like some miniseries commentary on, send the name of the scene, or the topic, and the 🎥emoji!

You know what I want as a fan of The Monkees? Three things: 1. I want a documentary of them making Headquarters ( there had to be some video hopefully) showing not only how hard the boys worked and want they had to go through to make this album, but also how they were together in the studio when they were allowed to do want they wanted. 2. A real true biopic or miniseries like Bohemian Rhapsody, Rocketman, Elvis, etc. showing the good, bad & ugly. All of it. Seeing their story finally get

(cont) told letting people know all the BTS. Really good actors playing them and getting into the all of it. I even got a title Hollywood, Listen to the Band. Not only is perfect because it was the last song they played together before peter left, but it's what they were asking the whole time. Finally 3: Restored concert of either Japan ( there is suppose video) or any concert showing the amazing show these boys put on. We've heard audio and see some in the tour ep, but imagine if we could see a full restored concert in all it's glory showing everyone what they did and were capable of. So yeah that's my three. Sorry for so many messages, Tumblr kept cutting me off. I just feel their story needs to told and their hard work needs to be seen. If people knew maybe they see them differently and with more respect, What do you think. BTW, I LOVE your blog! I've been browsing through it and it's one of the best Monkees blogs I've seen. Thank you for it :)

omg this was such a joy to log in and see! thanks for sharing this insight. but, to add to what you're saying, YES YES YES. TO ALL OF THIS. re: the movie -- you're so onto something. like, i don't see as much of it now, but since i'm kind of the old wine aunt of monkees tumblr, i remember the days when we'd all sit around and just make a complete mockery of the daydream believers movie. and, while it's in no way a perfect movie (or even a good one, lmao) it just proves that there's a good story at the heart of the monkees' tale. it's a perfect found family piece -- four people from different walks of life coming together to make something great. i think their story would resonate better now than it did in the '60s (mostly because i don't think our society cares much about the concept of 'selling out' / authenticity is viewed differently now than it was in 1966).

i hope we'd be able to see more concert footage, too! they were a great live band (AND still are, speaking as someone who's been fortunate enough to have seen all of the different lineups, save the four of them and micky, davy & peter) and their live show was truly where they cut their teeth. correct me if i'm wrong, but mike or peter (or was it MICKY? google is free, but i'm too in the zone to double check) has/had a great quote saying that when they were on stage, just the four of them, was when they really became the monkees. they became a real band -- i think it was micky, just because that's one of his go-to quotes (kind of like the shrek/i'm a believer one). thank you so very much for sharing your thoughts with me & the kind words about the blog! i'm happy to spread some love and light & i'm glad you found my content and like it. thank you endlessly!

Voiceplay-adjacent Visuals - Blue Christmas

And so we come to the last post in my 12 Days Of Christmas In July miniseries!

Geoff's cover of Blue Christmas was released on the 16th of December, 2023 (last year), on the same day that VoicePlay released their Jingle Bell Rock video (the premiere of this video though was scheduled an hour later than Jingle Bell Rock).

Now usually if I don't know the song whatsoever, I'll just go in blind, but I made an exception for this one and went to go listen to the original version the day before the video dropped (and plus with Christmas songs there's entirely a chance that you've heard at least part of it at some point and forgot about it/never learned the title). So I was like "okay so this is gonna be a more sombre video? A bit like Ain't No Sunshine maybe?" (Note that the video thumbnail was different during the YouTube Premiere thing to what it is now) But trust Geoff to subvert expectations!

Anyway, let's get into this!

Apparently this was filmed at College Park Laundry and Dry Cleaners, according to the video description

Huldra has a video on her channel (linked here) pointing out the "easter eggs" and other cool visual stuff in this video, which includes identifying most of the clothing that shows up in this video - most of it has been worn in other videos! (E.g. the grey shirt on the rack on the right, just behind the white shirt, is the shirt that Geoff wore in Way Down!)

We love a cool title inclusion!

Let's get it out the way now: His hair is super lovely in this one, and that shirt looks great on him. Alright moving on!

"I'll be so blue just thinking about you"

Apprently this is likely a little nod to the little "lip curl" that Elvis was often known to do, or something like that. Google it!

"Decorations of red..."

"...on a green Christmas tree"

(The shirt colours match up with the lyrics!)

This is one of the shirts Geoff wore in Saddle Up!

The original song really isn't that long, so Geoff decided to extend it a little bit, and frankly I don't think any of us were prepared 😂

Quite frankly the usage of the phrase "my transgressions are numerous" should be the first tip-off that this isn't going to go exactly the way you think it might 😝

Oh Geoff...

(Apparently this whole text message bit is a kind of amusing homage to common tropes/themes in classic country music breakup songs, or something like that)

I like the way he looks up here as if looking out at snow that's beginning to fall outside! (Also he's kinda adorable here ngl)

Rockapella shirt! Geoff's worn this in one or two VoicePlay BTS videos iirc

Mostly I didn't really have any issues with the way Geoff was folding the clothes in this one, but then he got to the hoodie and I was like "oh honey no" 😅

Kathy! :D

Awwwww

(Also look at the laundry baskets! They changed from grey to white!)

Awwwwwwwwwww <3

And check out the gramophone logo at the end of this one! In full colour rather than black and white!

And that's a wrap on Blue Christmas, and that's also a wrap on my 12 Days Of Christmas In July miniseries! So I probably won't be doing any more Voiceplay visuals or Voiceplay-adjacent visuals for a while (not till October at the very latest!), but I'll try not to let this blog go completely quiet. And my inbox and DMs are always open! See you around, y'all!

Ch 18: New Attitude

Despite the legal battle with JJS and the amount of stress it’s been causing Hyeri, she finds herself truly excited to attend the premiere of her miniseries. Seeing her beloved cast mates is just the thing she needs to take her mind off of JJS and her ever growing loneliness.

Her new agency, Brickyard Entertainment, had a small crew go to her home to do her hair and make up, give her a snack as she didn’t want to eat a full meal before the premiere, and style her in the most stunning pink gown that sparkles as she moves. They even picked out special jewelry to match, though she was adamant that she wear her own necklace. The teardrop one Yoongi bought her on tour. She knows he’ll be watching the red carpet broadcast and she wants to make sure he knows she’s always thinking of him.

Yoongi will definitely be watching. He had a bouquet of flowers and a basket of her favorite snacks and skincare products delivered to her that morning. He sent her a string of excited text messages telling her how proud he is and how much he loves her. His love always gives her a positive boost.

The premiere is a media frenzy when Hyeri arrives. A lot of promo and anticipation had been building up so it’s no surprise to anyone. What Hyeri doesn’t quite realize at first is that a lot of that media frenzy is for her.

This is Hyeri’s first public appearance since the video of her yelling at her manager surfaced, and since her legal battle began. Everyone is dying to ask her lots of questions with only a small few of them having anything to do with the miniseries.

She poses for photos and waves at fans as she walks along the red carpet. She feels on top of the world to finally see fans after what’s felt like an eternity out of the public eye. There’s a line of reporters from different publications waiting to interview her when she approaches. One by one Hyeri meets with each one exchanging pleasantries and expressing excitement for the premiere. Some ask her what they can expect from the show. Others ask her about any upcoming projects she’s working on. Of course there are a few that ask her about doing more music. Then there’s one that wanted to focus on other things.

Yoongi tuned in to the red carpet broadcast of the premiere. His face lit up and his chest filled with joy the moment he saw Hyeri step out of the limo. She looks so gorgeous as always and so very happy. He can always tell when her smile is authentic, and what he’s seeing on the red carpet is her true happy self. His smile is beaming with pride.

Yoongi knows being on socials can only cause problems, but today he’s making an exception so he can see the photos and videos being posted from the red carpet. He tries to only stick to official media accounts, but he can’t help checking the trending tags too.

People are loving Hyeri’s dress and happy to see her. Photos are being shared along with videos of her interviews from the various media outlets she spoke with. He looks at every single thing. He swoons at how sweet her voice sounds when she talks. He smiles at how comfortable she is in front of the camera. He giggles like a schoolgirl when he notices her wearing the necklace he bought her. He can’t get enough of her.

After a bit he comes across a video that seems to be causing a lot of buzz. Hyeri is being interviewed by an online publication that Yoongi isn’t entirely familiar with though he’s seen the name a time or two. The interviewer starts by congratulating her on the premiere and asking what can be expected. The usual that she’s answered in every other video. She gives her response and smiles along with the interviewer who sounds very enthusiastic. Then without missing a beat, the interviewer asks Hyeri another question.

“Can you tell me more about why you were seen yelling at your former manager? Is it true you rejected roles they had for you because you thought you were too good for those roles?” The interviewer asks staring Hyeri down.

“W-what?” Hyeri asks taken aback by the unexpected question. “No.”

“JJS says they gave you plenty of roles but you were difficult to work with,” the interviewer continues. “Did your relationship with Kihyun cause you to care less about your career and demand only lead roles?”

“Huh?” Hyeri is confused and unsure what to say. She thought she was just having a simple red carpet interview like the others, but now she finds herself feeling attacked and unable to get more than a word out.

“Did you get into a car accident because the dating rumors weren’t helping your career the way you thought they would? Was that just another publicity stunt?”

“No!” She says offended, then takes a breath and softens her tone. “The dating rumors were lies confirmed by JJS without my approval. I can’t say much due to the case still being in progress, but the truth will come out in due time.”

“Well there’s been speculation that you’ve been romantically involved with a few people. You were photographed with Suga of BTS not long before JJS confirmed your relationship with Kihyun. Not to mention footage of you with a few other people over the past year. Is there a reason for that? Are you looking for someone successful enough to take care of you so you won’t have to work anymore?”

“What are you talking about?” She asks starting to get very uncomfortable and trying her hardest to hold back tears from this unprecedented attack.

“I don’t mean to offend,” he laughs. “It’s just the word that’s been going around. You were seen out with RM of BTS recently. Is that your next budding relationship? Would Suga be upset to find you’ve moved on to his band mate?”

“You know what,” Hyeri says fighting the wave of tears rising. “Thank you for coming. I hope everyone enjoys the series and shows it lots of love.” She waves to the camera then quickly turns and walks off.

That clip is getting hotter by the second. It’s trending all over socials and the discussion surrounding it is tense. Yoongi finishes the video and can only stare at his phone with his jaw clinched. He’s frozen in place unsure if he wants to set fires or run all the way to Seoul to hold Hyeri because he could clearly see how upset she was. He’s been on the receiving end of some of the worst questions, but he knows she’s not used to that type of sudden and public questioning meant to catch her off guard and make her look bad no matter what she says.

Since he’d been staying away from socials, he had no idea that rumors were going around about Hyeri and Namjoon. The two went out for lunch one day just to hang out and catch up. They actually do it regularly since Namjoon has known Hyeri longer than Yoongi has.

Hyeri went to school with Namjoon’s younger sister and met him through her. Namjoon saw her as another younger sister and made sure she was taken care of during her trainee years as if she were blood. He even scolded her for not telling him how bad things were with Starlight when she was in Two Piece. Just another instance of her staying silent as to try to avoid burdening others.

When Hyeri and Yoongi began dating Namjoon was happy for them. He knew he wouldn’t have to worry about her in the care of his hyung. However, he’s been checking in on her more lately since Yoongi had been on his downward spiral.

Namjoon and Hyeri had lunch together but apparently made the mistake of going somewhere in the city with more people likely to notice. They spent the lunch catching up, mostly talking about Yoongi and how his recovery is going. Namjoon is the older brother she’s always wanted so she talks to him about everything and always values his advice.

Their lunch wasn’t a secret or anything scandalous, but of course, someone with a camera decided to make it seem that way. They were only photographed leaving the restaurant and waving goodbye. Neither of them knew they were being photographed.

When Hyeri spoke to Yoongi that evening, she told him about her lunch with Namjoon. She passed along Namjoon’s words of support, and told Yoongi about the project he’s working on and an update on the rest of the guys.

Yoongi hasn’t talked to the guys very much other than an update or two, but he hasn’t talked with any of them about what they’re working on. Minho thought it would be best for him to keep from talking about work. It’s hard for him not to when talking to the members, the conversation just always finds its way to something work related. So his communication has been short and sweet and few with them. He misses them though, but he’s not quite ready to talk with them the way he’d been talking with Hyeri. They all understand and just can’t wait for him to get better.

Now that lunch Hyeri had with Namjoon to give and receive updates on everyone in their circle is being seen by the public as a possible romance. Not only did that reporter completely ambush Hyeri for no reason, he also brought Yoongi’s attention to a rumor that does him no good on his rehab journey. He’s pissed and once again finds himself far from where he really wants to be, by Hyeri’s side.

He taps out a text to Hyeri telling her she looks amazing and that if she’s not too tired he wants to video chat when she gets home. He knows she could go right to bed if she’s too tired, but he’s hoping tonight she doesn’t. As usual, he needs to see her to know she’s ok.

Seeing her isn’t what matters though, because he’ll worry about her regardless. He can never stop worrying about her. He just wants to take care of her. If it were up to him she wouldn’t need to work or go through any of the shit she deals with because he wants to be able to take care of her.

Hyeri doesn’t necessarily need Yoongi to take care of her. She appreciates everything he does, but she’s not helpless and at times she wishes he would believe that. She saw his message while in the car on her way home and she knows he’s either just really excited, or he saw that abysmal interview and wants to see proof that she’s ok. She hasn’t had much time for it to all sink in, but she’s not completely in distress or anything. However she knows Yoongi wouldn’t believe her if she only says she’s ok.

When she gets home she changes out of her dress and washes up. She grabs her phone and gets comfortable in bed in her usual position when she video chats with Yoongi. She gives herself one more look then gives him a call.

“Hey,” Yoongi answers quickly. “How did it go?” He asks wasting no time.

“It was fine,” she says. “It was really good to see everyone again after a while.”

“You looked perfect,” he smiles. “You always do.”

“Thanks, babe,” she blushes.

“No one gave you any problems today, did they?”

“No,” she chuckles. “At least nothing that I’m not already used to.”

“Like what?” He asks trying to give her the opportunity to bring it up first.

“You know the usual. People asking me questions that have nothing to do with the show.” She chuckles. “I’ve been out of the public eye for a while, it’s to be expected.”

“Really? So you expected to be asked about your recent dating history?”

“Rumored dating history,” she corrects him rolling her eyes. “Wait, what have you been watching? You’re supposed to be staying off of socials!”

“I was trying to see you!” He pouts.

“Yoongi,” she chuckles giving in. “Look, that guy was an asshole and maybe I didn’t expect him to ask me all of that bullshit he asked me, but it’s fine. I got over it. The premiere was great.”

She means that. She got over it. One thing she’s learned recently is that people are going to talk regardless and if she lets it get to her she could find herself taking another late night drive that results in a hospital stay.

Yoongi isn’t convinced, but that’s typical. He tries to get the best look at her as he can but it’s hard when she’s mostly in the darkness.

“Turn the light on,” Yoongi says.

“I’m not turning the light on, Yoongi,” she answers shaking her head. “You have to trust me. I told you I’m fine, I mean it. I didn’t even shed any tears.”

“I trust you, Superwoman,” he jokes. “But you like to tell me you’re ok when you’re really not. I just have to be sure.”

“I tell you I’m alright because I am alright. You just don’t believe me.”

“You just looked upset. I was worried.”

“I know, baby. You’re always worried, but you don’t need to be. It’s so…you just don’t need to worry.” What she really wants to tell him is that she’s not a helpless baby. But now isn’t the time for that.

“You mean it? I won’t find out you’ve been taking late night drives again, will I?”

“Yoongi please,” she sighs.

“I know. It’s hard being away from you. I feel like I need to be there for you and I’m not.”

“You are,” she presses. “You’ve always been. You are probably the most supportive person I’ve ever met in my life. I just want you to know that I can still take care of myself. You don’t have to try to play hero and solve all of my problems, I just want you to support me. My shoulder to lean on when I need, not a helicopter parent,” she jokes.

“Helicopter parent?” He asks offended. “That’s what you think I am?”

“No, that’s not what I meant,” she says realizing her poor choice of words. “I’m just saying you don’t have to worry about me so much because I can take care of myself.”

“Right,” he nods unconvinced. “You can take care of yourself?”

“Why are you questioning that?” She asks tilting her head.

“I’m not, I just….I know you try to be strong, but it’s ok to say when you have a hard time. I just want to be there for you.”

“If I’m having a hard time, I’ll let you know. I’ve told you that many times but you still never seem to believe me,” she huffs. This isn’t how she thought this conversation would go, but now she’s mildly annoyed.

“I do,” he defends. “I’m sorry that I love you so much that I want you to be happy.”

“Oh no no no no no,” she laughs in disbelief. “Don’t do that, Yoongi. Don’t…” she inhales sharply. “Don’t do that. Trying to interject yourself in every moment because you think I’m helpless is not the same as wanting me to be happy.”

“Trying to interject myself in every moment? Tell me what you’re really trying to say,” he huffs.

“Yoongi,” she snaps rolling her eyes again. “I’m not a baby. You don’t have to try coming to my rescue every time you see me frown. You’re making me feel like you see me as a child and I hate that! If I say I’m ok then I mean it! I can handle shit on my own too, you don’t have to be the one solving every problem.”

“Ok,” he huffs. “I get it, Hyeri. I’m sorry I’m too much for you. I‘ll back off since you don’t need me.”

“Yoongi!” She roars fed up. “I don’t know what your deal is tonight, but let me remind you that you cheated on me! Where the fuck were you when I was here unaware and hurting because you wouldn’t fucking talk to me? Now you’re having this pity party because I tell you I can take care of myself? Maybe you don’t believe me because you had no fucking idea how much I was taking care of myself before while you were too trashed out of your mind to remember a damn thing! Then you came home and continued to get trashed so I took care of both of us! Focus on yourself, babe, because I’m just fine!”

Yoongi is stunned silent at Hyeri’s words. Stunned so much it hurts. It hurts for many reasons in ways she’s never hurt him before.

“Look,” she softly says, instantly regretting her outburst. “It’s been a long day and I just need some sleep. I’ll talk to you tomorrow, ok?”

Yoongi silently nods and without another word he ends the call.
