yandere!fanboy!ateez reacts: s/o writing a song about them

This is: requested | I guess....the yandere!ateez as fanboys are a success from what I can see. I only uploaded them without thinking. Also, don’t hesitate to blow up my request box! I’m jobless like Hongjoong, Yeosang and Wooyoung. Also, to the sender who requested this, thank you so much for appreciating my blog and writing! 

Lyrics I placed in order:  Love Battery - LOONA (Immortal Songs)  Shadow - F(x)  Going Crazy - Secret Jieun ft. BAP Yongguk Peekaboo - Red Velvet Shampoo - After School Babe - Hyuna Into You - Yuri Love Foolish - TWICE 

Hongjoong: 

“Even if you are not handsome, I like it. Even if you’re not buff, I like it. You are just for me, to me, you are the best.” 

Hongjoong stood among the crowd with a foolish smile painted on his lips. His hands placed on top of his chest as he listens to your new song that you are performing at your comeback concert. 

“Hold me one more time. Hold me tightly until I burst. Love’s effect must be fading. I need you.” 

A soft sigh escapes his lips dramatically. Lovestuck as he watches the love of his life sing a song about him and how she constantly needed his touch or else she’d die from his lack of attention on her. 

“Fill me with love. Love battery has drained. I can’t live without you, I really can’t live without you. You are my battery.” 

He clutches his chest tightly, his heart beating loudly inside. He didn’t cared how wild the others were cheering for your comeback stage, all that matters to him is that this song was made for him. Just for him. Normally he would promote your songs by requesting them on radio stations, but he hesitated on the idea of promoting it. This was his song. And only he gets the full rights to enjoy it. The others are just listening to it, he thought that you were kind enough to let everyone hear the song you made especially for him. 

“To me, you are everything. I like you so much, I totally like you. My only love, there’s no other, my love. You are the best.” 

As the comeback concert ended, everyone inside the concert hall talked about how your comeback song is a hit and promised to get you another music show win. The others gushed how you must be in love that you wrote a song about affection. 

Hongjoong could only chuckle to himself as he walks out of the venue, hands filled with your individual merchandise and a wallet almost empty after emptying the shelves of your concert goods. 

“Stupid fools think that the song is for them when in fact the song is about me. Me! Only me! Why would Y/N ever notice all of you when a whole me exists?” Hongjoong thought to himself as he walked alone late that night. 

Seonghwa: 

“Everyday, I secretly chase after your footsteps. I’m always careful so you won’t notice. No one says it but our date has started, our own date.” 

Click click! Seonghwa focuses his camera on a different angle before taking another shot of you. Click click! 

“Where are you going? Step by step, I follow you. Without a word you lead me. Step by step, did you notice me? I have nowhere to hide anymore.” 

Yesterday, Starlight made a comeback and today, they are performing their comeback song at a radio station. For this comeback, Starlight’s Y/N participated in the song writing, having been credited two songs in the mini album. She partook writing the comeback song! 

“When the sun rises, I walk in sync and together with you. I am really really into you. When the moon rises, you fall asleep in my arms. I really really like you.” 

Seonghwa’s parents had been praising him for landing a wonderful job in the corporate world. When in reality, he was only hired by a fellow sasaeng that gave him much flexible work hours so he could still manage to slip out of his work and follow your every footstep in the country or out. He was being paid fairly well even when all he did was just to follow you around.

“Day by day, we resemble each other more and more. Your laughter and tears, I know it all. Don’t be scared, were a fate tied by the sun, its our destiny to be together.” 

As the performance ended, the girls sat back down on their seats and the interview rolled in. Fansites can only hang outside of the studio, and of course, Seonghwa is up close, nearest to Y/N. 

“Congratulations to Starlight! This is their third comeback and the song is really catchy!” The MC remarked. 

“It’s sounds like a summer song! I heard Y/N took part in the production?” The second MC asked, the cameras then turned to face Y/N. Y/N who was flustered, nodded her head. “Yes” 

“Can you tell us the story behind the song? Your fans are dying to know the meaning behind such a good song.” The first MC says. 

Y/N held the microphone in her head, smiling, she explained: “This is a true to life song. I made a song about a guy who was really handsome and captured my heart. We were always going in the same direction and one time, his hand brushed into mine. And I felt so happy by the small connection.” Y/N chuckles. 

When Seonghwa heard about it, he lowered his camera and stared at Y/N. The song was about him. He remembered how he would spend his vacant period at work to follow Y/N when they were shooting an ad around Namsan because of the newly built skywalk. His hand brushed on hers when they were buying food at the convenient store. Seonghwa was so moved by the explanation that he felt like his feelings grew more for you. 

“My sunshine likes getting attention. My attention. That’s right, my sunshine, bathe in my attention only. ” 

Yunho: 

“It’s not love, this isn’t love. It’s just your obsession. Wherever, Whatever I do. It’s frightening. The you who watches me.”

Yunho watched as Y/N practices for her upcoming comeback stage at The Show next week. He admired how she dare approached a bold and mature comeback. And he was so happy to see this new side of his girl. However, he felt like he needed to be more protective of her since she was going for a more risque concept. 

“Have you gone crazy? Why are you like this? Please just leave me alone now. Seeing you is suffocating. Please disappear from my sight.” 

Yunho stood behind the cameras as he watches Y/N and the featured artist practice. He heard a few staffs make a comment about how the featured artist looks like him. And maybe how you might’ve fallen in love with him. Yunho’s feeling swelled when he heard of those comments. In fact, he was so happy that he heard it from them. But you on the other hand, why do you still deny your feelings for him? Why was it so hard for you to be up front and honest with what you feel? Is it because he works as your manager? You’re in the same company as he is? And that you kept insisting to be professional? At this point, Yunho would resign if that was the case. If he can’t have you because of his line of work, he would be more than pleased to resign and be in your arms everyday. 

“Get lost. Just back off. I really can’t breathe. Wherever I go, wherever I am. It’s frightening. The you who follows me.” 

Yunho managed to lift the debts off his family. After paying the debts, he was able to even buy a new home for them around Gangnam area. His parents hesitated on the idea at first since owning a land in Gangnam costs way more than renting, Yunho told them not to worry. Not to worry since he is being paid royalty in his job. After that, he was able to spoil you with luxurious gifts and live with you in your apartment. More like forced himself into your home. 

“This ain’t right, this isn’t love. It just hurts me, don’t be like this. I loved you. But I don’t now. Erase me from your memory.” 

And when the song was released, Yunho was all up for promoting it. He made everyone he know listen to the song in various streaming platforms and watch the MV as well. Whether you would like it or not, Yunho is here to stay in your life. Permanently. 

Yeosang: 

“Peekaboo! This is new, is this love? All my friends yell at me, they say I have a problem. I’m fine fine fine fine fine fine.” 

A small painted Yeosang lips as his eyes followed you on stage. He watched you as you danced in a tight red dress. That was his gift for you last Christmas to be exact. The designer brand didn’t really put it out for sale. They only made one and had it up for auction. It was a dress that accentuated your curves and complimented your skin. Yeosang won the auction and had it included in your next comeback. 

“Tag you’re it! It’ll be fun! I’ll include you here. Til the moon hangs on the jungle gym, let’s play” 

Since Yeosang is someone who holds a high position in the company, he made a proposal to be your sponsor. At first, your members didn’t like the idea since sponsors have a bad reputation attached to it. But you were naive and still proceeded with the sponsorship. You thought it would go bad, but Yeosang made you feel comfortable in his home and gave you all the fame that you wanted. Never did he once ask anything that was against your morals. 

“Peekaboo! It’s strange, you’re different. I stop this game and I look at you again. I’m not a fraid, because I just felt that a new story will begin” 

Your members were still cautious about Yeosang orbitting around you. There was something about him that they could not lay a finger on. Scared that they would find their contracts terminated the following day. But seeing you happy, they felt like they needed to stop. As long as you are happy, they are happy. Yeosang included. 

“Don’t worry, my love. You’re safe with me. Anyone who accuses you will come to me first.” 

San: 

It was 9pm when you made a surprise V live alone in the recording room of your company building. San was actually nearby, he was hid inside the convenient store where he bumped into you before. 

“Hello everyone! Have you all eaten? I missed you alot.” He watches his Y/N pout in the screen. His heart raced a bit, 

“I ate already, my love. Don’t worry.” San responds, as if it was only him that you were talking to. 

“I made a new song and I’m in the recording room. Apparently, I was given permission to spoil the song for you!” Y/N happily takes her phone and draws it closer to the company phone of where she is doing her live. 

“I wanna be shampoo Trickling down your hair I wanna embrace you With my strong fragrance  I will wrap around your entire body With white foam  So even the mirrors can’t see you I will cover you  So no one can have you You won’t ever get rid of my scent” 

“That’s all the spoil for now.” Y/N stops the recording and turns the camera to her face again. She leaned her face closer and read a few comments about how would the fans think. 

“What is your inspiration behind this song?” She read aloud. She leaned back in her seat with her lips pursed. “In all honesty, I met a male fan last week. I actually bumped into him and I was able to smell his perfume and...” Y/N paused. “He smelled so good that...was it possible to fall in love just by smelling their perfume?” Y/N chuckles softly. 

San had his eyes wide. The song was about him. He felt like bursting from his seat but he refrained himself from doing so. 

“I hope he isn’t a weird fan. I also have a fan who constantly bothers me even at the late hours. It’s bothering me. And I hope the person stops soon.” Y/N said. Double jackpot! He got mentioned twice by you. He couldn’t wait until the song releases, he was already booking train station platforms in honor for the release of your song. 

Mingi: 

Was it possible to fall in love with just a touch? Ever since the incident at the Incheon Airport, your company has become stricter and hired more bodyguards when it comes to outside activities. From what you heard, VS Media is even rewriting their rules when it comes to fan and idol gift giving. 

“Come on, let me play some more. Why treat babies gently, I cannot count on you, my age. You’ve walked in any magic. I am the one for you. Everyday I wake up. This is mine.” 

Ever since the incident at the airport, you slightly became uncomfortable with the idea of leaving the dorm. Despite your feelings, rest assured that your members were always there for you. 

“I am not sleeping today. I remember my eyes. I’m not sleeping.”

It’s been a month since you stepped foot inside the airport again, things were going okay. You were able to walk inside and through the gates without any problem. The fans still following your footsteps, you tried to loosen up yourself a bit - smiling and waving at them. Nothing could go wrong. 

Until, you saw a figure from your peripheral vision. You turned your head to take a look, but no one was there. Strange. As you and your group were able to board the plane, you took a seat near the window and pulled out your lyrics notebook. Flipping through the pages, you stopped at an unfinished work. The unfinished work is your solo song used as an outro for Starlight’s upcoming full album. 

“Babe babe babe in your eyes. Babe babe babe in your hand. My appearance is babe babe babe babe. I want to hear it again.”

“Are you writing a song?” You were startled with the question. You turned your head and didn’t noticed how a man with a mask and cap sat besides you already. 

“Yes I am” You spoke softly. “Can I read it?” the man besides you asked. 

You hesitantly gave him the notebook, the man took it and read through the lyrics. 

“I like how you composed the song. It’s still in its raw form too. You’re a genius.” The man complimented. You smiled and thanked him for the compliment. The next thing you knew shocked you. 

The man placed a hand on your knee, his other free hand removed his mask and cap. Song Mingi. At that moment, you couldn’t process what was happening. All you knew was that your mind kept telling you to tell at least your members. But your body started heating up at his touch. 

“Did you miss me?” 

Wooyoung: 

Wooyoung had disguised himself as the photographer for your album. The night before it came, he worked on creating his fake ID and borrowed a spare camera to use for the production. 

“At that smile that sees my eyes. For me, the whole world is bathed in light. Hold my hands and I close my eyes. I hope this time stops here.”

Wooyoung’s breath almost took away as he saw you in black under shorts and wrinkled and almost unbuttoned white button down. He didn’t know what the concept was but his eyes were already feasting on your body, not ever feeling full. 

“Fall in love more deeply, you and I. Let’s fall in deeply, you and I together. The one thing that I want. You seep into me, you spread inside of me.” 

“Ms Y/N taking the bold move of doing her first sexy concept.” Y/N’s manager teased her. Wooyoung knew everyone who was on set. Him, Y/N, Y/N’s manager, stylist, make up artist and a few production crew that wasn’t part of VS Media. 

“What’s the story behind this concept?” Y/N’s manager asked, Wooyoung could only stare in awe at Y/N. Never did he see this side of her. He always knew of Y/N as the sweet and bubbly girl in soft concepts. But of course, Wooyoung love to break the types. 

“I actually like to search my name on the internet. And I came across fanfics of myself.” Y/N chuckles. Oh that sweet sound that made Wooyoung’s heart beat fast. The audio recorders can never outdo it. 

“There is a certain blog that possibly does a lot. That blog posts photos of me, writes fanfics and posts my schedules too. He’s doing god works for my other fans.” Y/N chuckles. As the production of the photoshoot started, Wooyoung did his best to capture the real beauty of this side of Y/N. 

“What a hardworking fan. What’s the name of the blog?” 

“ForY/N” 

Wooyoung’s eyes widens as he heard the name of his blog. His blog inspired you to make a song....about him? 

“Filling my whole heart. With you, I feel my heart. Fall in love more deeply, you and I. Let’s fall in deeply, you and I together.” 

“The way that person writes really amazes me. I’d like to get to know the person.” Y/N explains. His mind fell into a spiral. Part of him wanted the song to be released already but there was also a part of him that wanted the song to be released for him only. 

“Wish will soon become tomorrow. Today is more heart fluttering than yesterday. I want to go together with you. Closer to the place where my dream reaches.”

The bonus thing about what Wooyoung did today is that as a photographer, he was able to keep some of the photos. Running away even with some. 

Jongho: 

Jongho fell in line for the release of your album. He was actually second in line as he was actually camping outside of the building of your company. 

“Everyday I called out your name, about a thousand times, about ten million times Before you finally heard it Cut and rewind, why can’t you be mine? Ooh the one who spins my head like this It’s you, just running running running around you  My repeatedly-midnight promise  I don’t know what to do”

Jongho, who had his arms crossed over his chest, looked up and down to turn around where that song was coming from. He hasn’t heard of this song but he knew that was your voice.

“Crazy love!  I love you, love you, hate, foolish Crazy love!  I love you Make me feel so high Love!  I love you, love you, hate, foolish Crazy love!  I hate you Make me so bad It’s weird, the more I fall for you I’m sorry, I’ll hate you I don’t know, I can’t explain this I’m trapped in a labyrinth of strange emotions”

The whole room was adorned with your own merchandise and on the TV display was actually an MV of your b side. Jongho took a basket and grabbed a handful of your limited and regular version of your albums, along with a packet of your photocards and a griptok. 

As he was in line to pay for his orders, in which his basket was filled as he actually bought more of your items. You made a sudden appearance into the room. For Jongho, he felt as if the room got brighter when you suddenly stepped inside. When it was his turn to pay for his items, the people behind the counter were amazed at how many he was able to fit into his basket. 

Tapping his feet impatiently, he wanted to be able to greet you before you left the room. When his bag was handed to him, he immediately took it and sped walk towards your direction, talking to a few. 

He felt as if the gods were with him. As he drew closer to you, the ones you were talking to left and it just you and him now. 

“Hello Y/N!” Jongho greeted. You turned to him happily. “Hello!” 

“I really really like this song of yours!” He gushed happily. “Can you tell me about it?” 

You nodded happily. “The song is actually about someone who makes me feel happy, the idea of love in a dangerous way? The idea send me thrills.” You chuckled. Jongho felt ecstatic. Beyond the moon even. You wrote a song about him! 

That afternoon when he got home, he made sure that everyone in Seoul would be able to hear the song that you made. It was for him so he had full brag rights to do so.

The Wingwoman [P2]

❣The Wingwoman; Part 2/2 (Here’s Part 1!)

❤ Pairing: Chuu x Idol!Reader

❤ Genre: Angst/Fluff

❤ Word Count: 5.7k

❤ Song Suggestions: Fall Again by LOONA (trust me, it will hit deeper in this half) and The Only One by Layla

Chuu was definitely used to it. Or so she liked repeating that to convince herself all the time.

She really didn’t understand why it bothered her so much, since it was not the first time a best friend of hers asked for her help on a crush. But there was a little voice in her head, always nagging, telling her this time it should have been different. 

But where did it come from? She was used to it. It was never about her. 

A month had already passed since that night, and Jiwoo was still extremely conflicted, but she convinced herself it was because of your refusal to tell her who you had a crush on. You blatantly withhold the information from her, brushing the subject aside. 

The rest of the promotions kept her focus occupied enough, but now they had come to an end and LOONA found themselves on their break week before next comeback’s preparations started, so now her mind had time to dwell on that precise night, bringing all of it full on front from the bottom of her memories.

Some girls took advantage of the situation and went out with friends or to visit family, and some decided to rest back in the dorm. Jiwoo, one of the latter, slumped on the couch and could hear the noise of the TV in the background and its never ending changing channels, courtesy of Yves who couldn’t find one to settle on.

“Nothing interesting to watch at this time of the day.” Sooyoung complained, hitting the Netflix button on the remote control, turning her body to face Chuu. “Any suggestions or anything you want to watch?”

But she received no answer back from the girl beside her. Her eyes fixated on the coffee table in front of them, occasionally blinking. 

“Can I scare her?” Hyunjin appeared behind the couch with a plain slice of white bread hanging from her mouth and another on her hand. “I want to scare her.”

“As much as I would love to see that, I don’t think we should this time.” Sooyoung responded to the younger girl. Hyunjin sighed, slouching her shoulders in defeat and gently shaking her hand in front of Jiwoo’s face. The latter shook her head, puzzled. Her eyes bolted in between both her friends who looked at her, hesitant of what to do next.

“Something is troubling you…” Sooyoung broke the tension, squinting her eyes in an attempt to see through the usually cheery girl who she knew extremely well.

“Troubling me? No! No no no!” Chuu straightened on her place, her usual smiling mask making an appearance on her face. But who could she fool? She was talking with people she had been living with for years already. “I’m just a little confused.”

“Isn’t that the same thing as troub-” Hyunjin started.

“Everyone tells me I’m usually good at giving advice on love. But I’m blank this time.” Yves grabbed the TV remote, turning it off and Hyunjin jumped the backrest of the couch to sit on the other side of the talking girl. “What is going on?”

“Who are we talking about this time?” The girl with her mouth full of bread managed to say in between bites. “Is it any of the girls?”

“No… not from here.” Jiwoo slouched her shoulder, with an exaggerated sigh escaping her lips. “It’s Y/n.”

“Y/N?!” Both girls exploded.

“But I thought Y/n liked-” 

“Who do they like though?” Yves talked over Hyunjin, leaning even closer in curiosity “Is it anyone that we know?”

“That’s the problem! I have no idea who Y/n likes!” She threw her arms up in the air, resting them crossed across her chest, her eyebrows furrowed and her lips pouted. “And it’s bothering me that they don’t want to tell me, and I don’t know how to help!”

“And they asked for your help just like that? With no information on the target?” Hyunjin talked with her mouth full, trying to connect the dots on her mind.

“Well... It’s not like Y/n explicitly told me they wanted my help.” Jiwoo let her body relax, nervously fidgeting her hands on her lap now. “They just told me they really liked someone. So now I need to help. That’s what I always do.”

“Need to?” Yves crossed her arms, her eyes squinting again as suspicions aroused inside her, there was much more about all of this that troubled her.

“Want to help. Y/n is one of my best friends, why wouldn’t I want to see them happy with whoever they like?” Chuu stood up, clearly annoyed. The other two girls backed up in self-defense, as the girl stomped all the way around the living room to the kitchen behind.

“Exactly, why wouldn’t you?” Hyunjin murmured under her breath, but loud enough so that Jiwoo snapped her head around to face them again. Sooyoung snatched the spare slice of bread from Hyunjin’s hand and shoved into her mouth in desperation. 

“Good afternoon!- Wait, it’s already dark outside?” Haseul appeared like an angel descending the stairs, sent from above to diffuse the situation. In reality she was just waking up from a light afternoon nap, rubbing her eyes and stretching her body. “Is there something to eat that we don’t have to… Wait, where is everyone? Why is the dorm so peaceful?”

“Heejin is out with a friend from school,” Hyunjin answered while hardly swallowing the bread forcefully shoved into her. “And I’m pretty sure Jinsoul and Jungeun went out on a date or something.”

“Also, Yeojin and Vivi are out on a movie, Chaewon and Hyejoo are up in their room most likely playing Nintendo or sleeping...” Sooyoung continued, counting with her fingers the entire line up. “... And Yerim… I have no idea where she is.”

“I messaged her to bring some bread from the corner store and she hasn’t answered though.” Hyunjin's eyes grew like plates when it dawn on her, turning to face the older girl. “Wait I thought she told you where she was going? I didn’t bother asking her when she walked out the door.” 

The room fell in a crushing silence as the brains of the four girls present analysed the escenario they found themselves in. It wasn’t long until...

“YOU LET THE BABY GO OUT BY HERSELF!?” Haseul, now completely awake, didn’t take long to put on her leader shoes, scolding the girls for being reckless. “Send her a message, call her or do something!”

But in the ruffle of the situation, they managed to ignore the keys rattling in the entrance and the door opening. Yerim was received by the sight of her bandmates running from side to side, she stood baffled at the girls for turning the house upside down.

“I can’t find my phone!” Sooyoung was in charge of leaving the couch cushion-free. “Hyunjin-ah! Did you hide it again?!”

“I grabbed nothing Unnie!” The girl responded, sprinting up the stairs.

“Yves-unnie…” Yerim’s voice cut through the agitation, her hand pointing at a tile besides the coffee table. “Isn’t your phone the one laying there on the floor?”

“Oh yes! Thank you Yerim! Wait-” Sooyoung snapped her head towards the direction of the voice, gazing at the figure of Choerry standing there, puzzled. 

“THERE YOU ARE!” Haseul dashed to the younger girl, hugging her. “You had us all worried!”

“DID YOU BRING MY BREAD!?” Hyunjin now sprinted down the stairs, to which Choerry responded shaking a paper bag in her hand with a smirk plastered on her face.

“Why didn’t you tell anybody where you were going!?” Haseul continued.

“But I did! I told Chuu-unnie!” The room turned to face Jiwoo, who was standing back in the middle of the kitchen. Her face revealing she had no memory of it, as it grew red as the can of soda she had in her hands, she lowered her gaze to the floor in embarrassment.

“Maybe next time tell someone whose head is down on earth…” Sooyoung continued. “Where were you?”

“We went pottery making and then took a stroll around the park, bought an ice cream, talked about a lot of stuff-” Yerim recalled.

“We? Our little Yerim going out on a date? Do I need to threaten someone?” Hyunjin grabbed the paperbag from her hand, surveilling the insides as she questioned the younger.

“No! It wasn’t a date! Far from that actually!”

“Yeah sure.” Yves crossed her arms over her chest, incredulous. “Who were you with anyways?”

“Ah! I was with Y/n-Unnie!” Yerim exclaimed, with a huge grin being painted on her face.

The mention of your name made Hyunjin and Sooyoung snap their heads towards Chuu, who slammed the can of soda against the counter, her mind tying the knots painfully. 

“Oh.” It came out as a whisper, for herself only, as she was met with the answer to a question she unconsciously didn’t want to know.

- ❣ ❣ ❣ ❣ ❣ -

The days kept flying by, and LOONA was already in the middle of arrangements for their new comeback. The room rumbled with the rhythm of the bass and kick of their new song, blasting through the speakers of the practice room. 

“And one, two and three and ka, ka, ka!” The choreographer remarked each move with their usual onomatopoeia as the girls switched positions through the dance floor. “Up! Down, three and four!”

A collective sigh was released to the air when the instructor paused the music, some girls throwing themselves on the floor, others racing to get water and others panting on their place.

“Not bad for a second day ladies. You all did a great job today, but there can be some improvements. Stay where you are, but listen to the final notes.” The choreographer, only breathing heavily but not dying as the rest of LOONA, clapped her hands to get their attention. She continued to call each member on their area of improvement, to which all of them nodded and bowed. Her voice sounded muffled in the distance, as Chuu struggled to get her breathing even. “Jiwoo!”

The girl called shook her head in surprise, placing her eyes on the instructor calling her.

“Just be here. Your mind is not in practice, stay and review more whenever you can.” Those were the only words that came out of her mouth for Chuu, and yes, she was very aware of it. Her mind inhabited other places, where even though she tried to fight it out, you were always there. And speaking of the devil…

“Jiwoo? With her mind on other planets? Color me stoked!” Your mocking voice echoed through the mirror walls of the practice room making everyone turn to you. 

“Y/N!” A chorus of excitement received you, plastering a smile on your face. The familiar perfume of Chuu invaded your senses when you felt her entire body slam against yours, but unlike other times, she quickly broke the embrace, stepping back from you.

“Sorry, I… I’m sweating. I wouldn’t like to…” She stuttered, avoiding making eye contact with you.

“As if that ever mattered to me.” You interrupted, pulling her back into your arms. She stiffened, and that’s precisely when you knew there was something wrong, so you broke the embrace early. You searched through your mental library for a way to break the awkwardness that was created. “I- I loved your new choreography! Everyone’s gonna love it, I’m sure.”

“It’s amazing! I’m just having a hard time getting it.” She chuckled.

“You came!” Yerim excitedly jumped into your arms, and you raised her off her feet. “I thought you wouldn’t be able to!”

“I finished all my schedules early to come visit! I wouldn’t miss a chance to hang out with all of you!”

Some of the other girls approached to greet you, excitedly telling you all about their new comeback, the key points in the choreo and you listened to them mindfully.

“Sounds like you need some unwinding girls, would you like to go to the cafe down the road? It’s on me!” You looked at all the eyes surrounding you, wondering how you would be able to feed thirteen mouths if they all agreed. 

For your relief, some of them told you they were too tired and decided to go back to the dorm, Heejin, Hyejoo and Gowon decided to stay and practice the choreo, and Jinsoul and Jungeun agreed to your invitation. 

“Well, I guess a hot cup of coffee wouldn’t hurt.” Choerry grabbed her coat and sprinkled some perfume on. “I’m going!”

“Jiwoo? What do you say?” You extended your hand towards her, but her eyes only bolted between you and Choerry, who both looked at her hesitant.

“I- think I better stay and practice. You guys go have fun.” Chuu turned around to go back to the dance floor, not wanting to turn her back and watch you leave the room together.

The room filled with silence as each of the girls left and only the four staying to practice stayed behind. 

“Jiwoo-unnie, go catch up with them, we know you want to be there.” Heejin ordered as she stretched her legs, looking at the mirror.

“Maybe, but it would be so awkward,” Chuu shook the intrusive thoughts off her head and started walking towards Heejin, joining her on the stretches. 

“Awkward? How?” Gowon questioned, laying on the couch on the other side of the room. “I thought you and Y/n were basically best friends.”

“We are!” Chuu responded with a light hint of doubt on her tone. “But that is basically a double date for what I know. I wouldn’t fit in there.”

“YERIM GOING OUT WITH Y/N?!” Hyejoo aggressively swallowed the drink on her hand, dumbfounded.

“Yes! No? I really have no idea! But isn’t it obvious?” Chuu lost her balance and landed bottom first on the floor. By that point she gave up in the stretches and just laid facing the ceiling. The three younger girls shared some confused glances between them, welcoming an awkward silence to the room. Only Hyejoo was brave enough to break it.

“But didn’t Y/n liked-” 

“Even if that were true, why are you so upset about it?” Heejin crawled to Jiwoo’s side.

“I’m not!” Chuu aggressively stood up. ”I’m not upset about it, I’m very happy about them! What makes you think I’m upset about it?!”

But the startled looks on the three girls around gave the answer up. She snapped her head towards the mirror, hardly recognizing her image. Her fist rested on her hips, her eyebrows wrinkled her forehead, and her smile was nowhere to be found. She jumped, scared at her own reflection, before slouching back on the floor. 

She felt a knot appearing at her throat, and her sight was getting blurry.

“Okay! Maybe I’m a little upset about it! It’s just that…” She felt the first tear caressing her cheek on the way down. “They both are very good friends of mine. Couldn’t they at least tell me? Do they not trust me?”

“Unnie- Haven’t it crossed your mind that if they haven’t told us, it’s because they are not together?” Hyejoo approached the two girls on the floor, freely speaking her mind. 

“No, you need to understand. All the signs are there. They chat all day and night, go out together and…” The words struggled even more to come out, as Jiwoo tried with all her remaining forces to not burst her entire heart out. “A while ago, when I asked Y/n for their ideal type, they perfectly described Yerim; someone who always makes them smile, who always wants to see the positive in everyone, the best hugger in the world and someone who never gets tired of being together…”

“You could fit that description very well too...” Gowon whispered, but not loud enough for the other side of the room to hear clearly.

“I just…” Chuu couldn’t contain it anymore, her eyes bursted open, and her arms searched for the shoulders of the girl next to her. “I just wish I could be happy for them! I don’t know why I’m so upset! I don’t know-”

“Maybe it has to do with your crush on Y/n?” Hyejoo disrupted the atmosphere straight ahead. Jiwoo’s sobs came to a halt as Gowon straightened herself from the couch, and Heejin snapped her head towards the youngest, holding her breath. “We all knew that right? You never told me, but I just assumed everyone knew?”

“I have a… what?” Chuu raised her eyes to face Hyejoo, who had now just dawned on the realization of what she had done.

“Sorry, I just thought that…” The younger girl stammered her words. “You know, with the way you look at Y/n, how you’re always talking about them and the way you light up when you see them… I think I should stop talking.”

“No, I don’t have a crush on Y/n. They’re one of my best friends” She rested her head on Heejin’s shoulder as she evened her breath. “I just want them to be happy, I love the way their eyes glow when they taste something really good, or their concentration face when they’re cooking something for me, I adore how they remember my favorite pastry from every cafe we visit together and the way the corners of their lips… Oh crap, I have a crush on Y/n.”

The three girls exploded in a nervous giggle. Chuu swung back to the floor, her hands covering her entire face in embarrassment.

“Oh no, this is so much worse.” She cried again. “I don’t want to intrude in their relationship!”

“Maybe you should just talk to them?...” Heejin suggested, reluctant. 

“No, no, no, nobody can know.” She dropped her hands on her sides, the tears rolling directly on the floor. “I know them, they would stop seeing each other for me. I don’t want to be like that. I’ll get through it, I have to. But please, please don’t tell anybody about this.”

The three other girls nodded respectfully, visibly upset at the only solution their unnie had come to. Hyejoo shrugged at Heejin, but that was enough to communicate so much stuff. They were sure Chuu was, for once, stuck looking at the worst scenario. 

Gowon’s phone vibrated, making it the only sound joining Chuu’s sobs on the floor. She turned on the display, and a text notification popped up. It was Choerry, frantically sending messages to her. She had to unblock the phone to see them all, every single one of them on capital letters:

Y/N SAID THEY WERE GONNA DO IT.

THEY’RE FINALLY ASKING JIWOO OUT, LIKE FOR REAL

I’M SO EXCITED

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO CONVINCE THEM FOR MONTHS AND THEY’RE FINALLY GONNA DO IT

YOU CAN’T TELL UNNIE ABOUT IT, NOTHING, NOT A WORD

WE’RE PLANNING OUT. HOW, WHEN AND WHERE.

BUT WE ARE GOING TO NEED HELP FROM EVERYONE, AND I MEAN, EVERYONE.

- ❣ ❣ ❣ ❣ ❣ -

These last days of filming were usually the heaviest. Everyone had already filmed their solo and unit shots, and only the dancing group shots were left. 

In past filmings, these were the days that were usually met with dark circles under their eyes, hair and makeup department always busy, fitting a coordinated wardrobe to twelve different and very unique girls. They were all usually tired, but willing to do their best to deliver the best product yet, and go home early. 

But not this time. 

Jiwoo definitely thought it was all odd how everyone around her seemed cheerful, excited even. She was not falling behind on the energy, after all it was Chuu, the Vitamin of the group, that we're talking about. But she looked around for clues as to what kind of drug was released in the air, that even Hyejoo and Jungeun, two of the grumpiest members when they didn’t get enough rest, couldn't contain themselves. 

She wandered around the set, which was still being put together. She marveled in every detail she could identify that had a connection with the “loonaverse”, little easter-eggs that made her smile from just imagining the enthusiasm with which Orbits would connect dots that even them ignored. Her phone shook her pocket and she took it out, unblocking it to watch the notification. Your name popped up, and the text read:

Good luck in today’s shoot! It’s the last day, give your all. My Chuu, hwaiting!

‘My Chuu’... You always called her that way since the start of your friendship, and each time half of her felt like she was levitating towards the sky, butterflies filling her stomach and her heart screamed, running around in circles. But the other half of her reminded her it was nothing more but a cute nickname, only a sign of affection between friends. She even wondered if it was appropriate for you to be calling her that way, now that you allegedly had a relationship.

“Jiwoo-yah!” Chuu recognized the owner from the voice being Kim Lip, calling her from somewhere so the younger girl halted her steps to look around from her. 

What she didn’t realize was that she was directly in the way of two staff members moving a huge prop. She turned around just in time to throw herself out of the way, tripping over her two feet and falling over a rack of clothing standing next to her.

The commotion of everything crashing against the floor caused the entire set to pause and focus their attention in the way of the noise. Around five managers rushed to her aid, helping her back to her feet, quickly scanning her for any cuts or bruises. 

“Huh! Who would have thought. It really softens the impact! I need to tell...” But the huge smile she beared dissipated in an instance when a bittersweet memory invaded her mind. She sighed and put on her other type of smile, the one she always used when not so pleasant thoughts came to pester her.

“Unnie! Are you okay?” It had to be Yerim hurrying up to her side, followed in her steps by Yves and Jinsoul who were near the site of the accident.

“Yes! Not a scratch!” She answered in her typical upbeat tone. 

“Wow, even in the accidents you two seem to be soulmates.” Jinsoul sneered under her breath. Followed by her eyes deadlocking on the floor. Yerim and Sooyoung sighed in unison, before glancing at each other in a telepathic conversation.

“They’re looking for you on wardrobe!” Yves mandated, her voice releasing tension as she continued speaking. Chuu noticed the way Yves' hand reached for Jinsoul’s wrist, pulling her closer. 

“Perfect! I’ll go after helping to pick up the mess I just made…”

“No, they need you now.” Sooyoung raised her tone, almost menacingly. “And you should really hurry up!”

The suspicious tone in her older bandmate made her spin on her feet, and jog towards the room being used for wardrobe.

The brightly lit room was overflowing with clothes, and suitcases full of makeup. One of the stylists welcomed her in, directing her to a chair to do her makeup and hair. If she was incredibly suspicious of the vibe around the set, she was even more on the look-out now. Now with the strange ways her members were behaving, and… the prop. The set being placed resembled a solar system, a very abstract solar system. But the prop being carried by the staff was a fireplace. Unless the metaphors for the Loonaverse were getting wild, there was absolutely no reason for a fireplace to be on the set. 

Chuu was so immersed in her own thoughts she barely noticed her stylist putting on the finishing touches on her, until another voice invaded her train of thoughts.

“You look so beautiful!” Vivi’s cheer inundated the room, making Yeojin and Haseul, who Chuu only just noticed were in the same room as her, rush to the girl’s side. “It’s so natural but hypnotizing at the same time, it’s just perfect!”

“Wow Jiwoo-unnie. You look like a princess!” The youngest girl passed her fingers through her silky, newly styled hair. The locks falling down in waves, resting on her shoulders. Her bangs were parted and were curled to rest on her temples. “The only thing missing is a knight in shining armour!”

Haseul jokingly slapped her palm against Yeojin’s arm, another gesture that didn’t go unnoticed by the girl sitting in front of them. But the attention from her face was robbed when the stylist appeared from behind what seemed a wall of clothes, holding a dress dyed in white and mint colors, with a circle shaped skirt, perfect for twirling and dancing. The top resembling a sleeveless button-up shirt, and a teal ribbon to fasten around her neck.

The gasp was such that for a moment, Chuu couldn’t remember how to properly make her lungs function. She sprang up from the chair, and couldn’t even bring herself to take the dress for herself, doubting every movement.

“Really?! It’s for me?” The stylist nodded, fashioning a smirk on her face while extending her arm. But Chuu contained her hands to herself and squinted her eyes in disbelief. “Are you sure? But it’s so different from the rest of the-” 

“Jiwoo-Unnie! Just put it on!” Yeojin could contain her huge excitement inside her tiny body. 

The command, followed by encouragement from Haseul and Vivi, forced Chuu to take the dress and change herself. And dear, was it the dress for her. It accentuated her figure perfectly, draping on the right places, with cute details like the neck ribbon perfectly blending with her bubbly personality. She looked at herself in the full mirror, twirling and spinning. A smile being painted from ear to ear because for once, she felt like the most beautiful girl in the world.

She walked out of the dressing room and was met with a huge wave of sighs and gasps. 

All of her bandmates and managers were standing there, staring at her speechless. 

“Do you like it?” Chuu sheepishly asked the girls. 

It all resulted in an explosion of compliments and screams, the kind of commotion that followed one of the most chaotic girl groups everywhere they went. Heejin’s approving nod as her eyes surveyed her Libra counterpart from top to bottom, Kim Lip crying to no one’s surprise, Choerry hopping in her place, clapping excitedly... But it was all interrupted by the sound of the director’s megaphone from outside the room.

“Kim Jiwoo, you’re needed on stage three.” The director sounded serious, the kind of order one would like to follow immediately. 

“Stage Three? But I thought we weren’t using that one tod-” 

“Let’s go, I’ll walk with you!” Yerim quickly took her arm, dragging her out of the room. All of the other girls waved cheerfully at them as they left. Chuu’s mind started racing with suggestions that could explain everything going on. Did she have to re-shoot her scenes? No, the dress was different, and her scenes were shot outside. Maybe she had to shoot more solo parts? But why exactly her? It’s not like she had significantly more lines this time…

“We’re here!” Choerry exclaimed as she came to a stop in front of ‘Stage 3’ which was basically a giant warehouse of the shooting facility. She gently pushed the older girl towards the door, while her gentle giggles revealed the happiness that couldn’t be contained inside of her.

Chuu looked over her shoulder for reassurance from her maknae, nervous of what was waiting on the other side of the door. She swallowed hard, and with a sigh relieving the extra tension over her shoulders, she pushed open the door.

Her mind painted an entire crew, maybe even a huge set waiting for her, light and video equipment all around. But it was met with an even more confusing scene. 

Right in the middle of it all, a fireplace was the only light source in the entire room and her eyes could make up the silhouette of a white loveseat with someone sitting on it. Curious, Chuu started walking towards the lounge. Every step she took made her high heels echo throughout the room. Her mind recognized the scene happening in front of her. It was the lounge from the cafe you two had visited together 3 months ago. And with that connection, it wasn’t long until she recognized the person sitting alone in the dimly lit room.

“Y/n…” She gasped. But the tranquility of the place helped magnify the sound of every little breath, every little movement. “What is all of this? What are you doing here?”

“I came to talk with you.” You responded, not bothering to turn to face the approaching girl. Every word coming out of your mouth grasped for the air and courage you needed. “I came to talk with you about something I should have said a long time ago.”

“Oh…” Chuu struggled to contain the uproar building on her stomach at the idea of you being there. You were not talking to her, it was never about her. “There must be a mistake, I’m gonna go get Yerim-”

“No!” You cried, jumping to your feet, extending your hand towards the girl that halted her steps at your command. “There has been no mistake here. I’m talking to you Kim Jiwoo.”

The chaos in Chuu’s mind got worse when she realized you were wearing a tailored suit, and she couldn’t stop thinking, if only she could stop thinking. You worked like a magnet to her, she wanted to run away, it was the only right thing to do, but her feet betrayed her, bringing her closer to you with each second.

"Wow…" The sight of the girl in front of you was like taking a blow straight to your lungs. You couldn't think of anything else but how breathtaking Chuu looked wearing the dress you bought for her. It reminded you, that to your eyes, there was no girl as beautiful as her. "You look… Gorgeous."

Jiwoo's cheeks flared up uncontrollably at how flustered her presence made you. You frantically searched for something in all your pockets, sighing with relief when you took a crumpled piece of paper from the right compartment of your jacket. You quickly opened it, holding it for dear life. The poor light and your shaking hands made the task of reading it way harder than you thought, but you still wanted to give it a try.

“My Chuu, from the very first moment I saw you, that split second before crashing against you, I just knew I didn’t want you to hate me. I would crash against a million clothing racks just to keep you safe each time. Maybe that night I avoided attacking you, but you definitely attacked my heart…” The badly written pun forced a smile out of you, helping you release all the tension you were holding back. You crumpled the paper again, keeping it on between your hands. “You know what, I’m not reading that anymore, it was nice of Yerim to try and help with it but...”

It was a split second, but Chuu, now merely a few inches away from you noticed every little detail on your face twitching, hesitant, and how suddenly that nervous Y/n in front of her dissipated with one more sigh, before anchoring her eyes with yours. 

“I’m saying what I should have said all those months ago.” You took Chuu’s hand in yours, and while felt like she needed to pull away, there was no force on earth cooperating with that side of her conscience. “That night we shared together in the cafe, when I told you I needed to tell you something, I wasn’t lying, I really did like someone. A lot. But I wasn't brave enough to tell you the rest of the story... That someone is you.”

  “Wha-” Chuu couldn’t believe her ears, she felt the force of her legs collapse, and felt so light at the same time. “You… liked me?”

“Still like you.” You reassured her, grabbing one sole hair and gently tucking it behind her ear. You pulled her towards you, now at a distance where you could feel the other’s warm breath against your face. “I still like like you. A lot."

“I really like you too, but I realized a litte too late.” Her face couldn’t settle either on smiling or be confused. “But- but I thought you and…”

The voices in her head wouldn’t give up, so you did the only thing you knew could help silence them.

You swung your hands around the girl’s waist, completely vanishing any space between you two. Your lips crashed against Jiwoo’s, softly at first, asking for permission to continue. Her body forgot how cold felt in between your arms, your perfume filled her senses with warmth from head to toe, and it wasn’t long until Chuu relaxed in your arms, returning the kiss aggressively. She threw her arms around your shoulders, pulling you even closer, because she was not letting you go this time, and you were definitely not complaining about it.

Never in your life had you tasted such soft and sweet lips, fitting so perfectly with yours. The entire world disappeared for both of you, until your lungs stinged, calling for air. You parted, resting your foreheads together. No force or higher power in the world could erase the smiles in both your faces. The endless stream of endless giggles coming from the girl in your arms could only reassure you what you already knew. How much you loved her.

Like if they were magnets, it didn’t not take long until you united your lips again, this time, tenderly, gently, smiling through every peck.

“How was I so blind? It all makes sense now, but I did not see this coming,” she rested her head on your shoulders as you swung side to side on your feet in the comfortable silence of the room. “You got the girls and even the staff to be in on this? And I really was out there thinking that… You know what, nevermind.”

“Hyejoo told me everything that happened that night at the practice room…”

“She did? She's going to pay for it! Good thing I know taekwondo!” She giggled against your neck, causing a chill travel through your spine. “I guess I let myself go too hard, I’m sorry-”

“You don’t have to be,” You grabbed her chin and raised her to face you, stealing another kiss from her. You got so lost staring at your favorite view in the entire planet, her eyes. “There was no one else Kim Jiwoo, it was always about you.”

WHAT IS THE LOONAVERSE? PART 1 – THE SCIENCE

LOONA is special among K-pop for its immersive storyline. These girls are not just k-pop idols performing a song, they also perform a story and that story is what we call the Loonaverse.

So, What is the Loonaverse? In a few words: The world and story that LOONA inhabits.

Yeah. Duh. But what is it?

Well… it’s complicated.

The Loonaverse is a fictitious story that borrows elements from real science and fantasy to build its world but also uses allegories, metaphors, allusions and other literary devices to tell its story. Our job as spectators (and specifically us theorizers) is to look beyond those devices to understand the message they are trying to send. In this post I’ll attempt to explain the science of the Loonaverse: parallel universes, time loops and the mobius strip.

PHYSICS VS FICTION

The Loonaverse can be described as the physical universe where the characters of LOONA live and where the events of the story happen.

By physical universe I mean that literally: its own universe. There are multiple theories that explain the existence of multiverses; from infinite universes theories to bubble theories to parallel universes to daughter universes; all incredibly interesting readings and all with fundaments in real physics.

On the other hand, the Loonaverse is a fiction story. Created by the creative minds of the people working in BlockBerry Creative (The company LOONA is under) and specifically by Jaden Jeong (who is a polarizing figure amongst Orbits). As a fiction story it is undeniable that the Loonaverse takes elements form science fiction and fantasy to build its story so going hard into the nitty gritty physics of how it works is ambitious at best and purposelessly time consuming at worst (though if you are interested in the nitty gritty of multiverse theory by all means go read about it, is mind-blowing). Nah, for the purposes of this (really not that long once we get to it) theory, we’ll focus only on a few key science related aspects:

MATHEMATICAL UNIVERSES

This particular multiverse theory debates whether math is a tool used by us to describe our universe or a fundamental truth of the universe itself. If it were the latter, then the possibility of multiple universes with vastly different mathematical structures is possible. This implies a different set of physics working in those universes. Basically: physics and mathematics themselves may work differently in different universes: It is as simple as is sounds. (Yeah, 2+2 may = fish in another universe, or flying is possible and even normal).

Using this admittedly long explanation for a constant in science fiction and fantasy, we now have a physics approved explanation for all the odd things that happen in the Loonaverse: super powers, climbing in air, destroying the moon, walking in the moon and most importantly: time disruptions.

 SPACE/TIME RELATIVITY

So… time is weird. Physicist can’t decide what exactly is time. Is it a dimension? A physical force of the universe? An illusion we humans use to perceive existence? Does it even exist at all? We’ll just assume it does and use Einstein’s theory of relativity to explain it.

So… The universe is composed of a 4-dimensional fabric called space-time. (Like, picture an actual tablecloth). When anything with mass falls into that tablecloth it creates a bend, that bend is what we call gravity. This gravitational pull modifies both how space and time are perceived. Everything close to that gravitational pull will move at exponentially slower time than anything outside of it. In simpler terms: Time varies depending of your relationship with another object. But if gravity can modify the way time is perceived, so can speed. The explanation for this is long and complicated and involves a difficult choice between speed not being absolute for anything except that light has an absolute speed and those two statements don’t match. But Einstein, being the clever guy he was, came up with Time dilation: The faster you move the slower time moves for you.

A simpler way to understand all this is to just watch the movie Interstellar. They did a really good job of conveying Einstein’s theory.

Of course, physics haven’t been able to prove the possibility of moving through time backwards, only forward. But hey! We are dealing with a different universe where the laws of math and physics don’t abide by Einstein’s theories. Well let’s unify science and fiction and talk about time travel.

 TIME DONUTS AND THE MOBIUS STRIP

Yeah, we finally got here.

The Mobius Strip. The one constant in the Loonaverse is the Mobius Strip. It’s importance has been confirmed by BlockBerry Creative and you’d be hard pressed to find any theory that doesn’t include it somewhere. So, What is a Mobius strip?

Also called the twisted cylinder, it is geometrical shape that has one side, one curve and it’s non orientable, forming a loop on its own. The properties of the mobius strip come into play in the sense that if you were to travel through it, you would go through you starting point once but from the opposite side of the strip before returning to your original starting position.

Here’s a 3D model of the thing: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:239158

Curious things:  If you were to cut down a Mobius strip through the middle you would end up with long mobius. If you were to cut it twice at 1/3 the size each cut, you would end up with one long ass loop and one shorter loop that surrounds it.

Here’s a video that shows that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlQOipIVFPk&ab_channel=ThinkTwice

Okay one more schiency term to explain:

Time donuts (not really called that way) is a time travel/time machine theory  that claims that a donut like vaccum that envelopes a sphere of matter and surrounded by a strong gravitational pull would create a void where time/space would collapse into itself, crating a sort of time loop where the closer you move to the sphere the bigger the gravitational pull to the point where you could even start going backwards. Here, space/time is the time machine (yeah, trippy). The physics to this theory are quite debatable at best but it is a theory nontheless, and perfect one for our purposes.

A new time-machine model with compact vacuum core by Amos Ori: https://arxiv.org/pdf/gr-qc/0503077.pdf

IT ALL COMES TOGETHER

Okay I read all this sciency stuff and I still don’t get it: How do all this relates to the Loonaverse? Well, my patient reader, all this science mumbo jumbo helps us understand the main conflict of the Loonaverse: escaping a never-ending time loop.

The theory states that the Loonaverse happens in a parallel universe where the laws of physics don’t abide to our own. In this universe the girls (LOONA) inhabit a space (moon maybe) that moves through time inside of a Mobius Strip, which itself envelopes a large dense sphere of mass, thus creating a time loop. The closer the girls get to the sphere the slower time moves to the point it may go backwards. Because they move through time in a Mobius Strip, the amount of time it takes them to re start the loop is long (though I am not sure how long). In the mean time they will go though their starting point but in the opposite side of the loop.

This means the girls are essentially trapped in a never-ending loop. Think Groundhog Day, Palm Springs, Russian Doll, Happy Death Day; and if time loop movies have taught us anything is that time loops kinda suck after a while.

But this also gives us the tools to possibly escape this loop. Our physics don’t abide in this universe, there are super powers, and mirror images and the possibility of escaping if we understand how it all works in the first place.

With all this science talk, doesn’t that make the Loonaverse a ScyFi story? Well… No.

Science Fiction as a genre uses technological and/or scientific advances to investigate and/or explain a human reality. It usually comes in the form of a warning (Brave New World) or as an exploration of what makes us human (Blade Runner). Science Fiction explores the possibilities of humanity in a technologically advanced future. Because the story LOONA tells us doesn’t explore the possibilities of a technologically ridden future or focuses on our relationship with these advancements, it cannot be called ScyFi.

TLDR:

The Loonaverse is the world and story that LOONA inhabits. It borrows form real life science and fantasy elements to better tell its story. It exists in a universe where the laws of physics differ from ours and where there is a set time loop in the form of a Mobius Strip, which the girls are trying to escape.

REMEMBER: This is all my interpretation of some very complex theories, theories I am unabashedly morphing to my will to fit a certain narrative (like scyfi and fantasy often do). Also, I didn’t come up with the idea of escaping the time loop, it’s kinda the oldest theory out there. It may even be confirmed by BlockBerry Creative. I am just explaining it the way it makes sense to me.

 Next: How does all this science help explain the narrative conflict of the characters in the Loonaverse?

Sleepy’s Favorite K-Pop Songs of 2020

1. Any Song - Zico -- this song is not particularly special, but the main vibe, “play any song that makes you happy” is exactly how my musical tastes were in 2020, for the regular reasons we all faced AND for some extra, personal reasons that made me search out happier or deceptively happy songs, or songs that lay next to me instead of crawling under my skin. I usually love when a song sings my soul back to me, but there were many moments last year that I just couldn’t handle that, or couldn’t handle it the same way I usually would. Spotify says that Any Song was played the most of, well, any song, and I know why.

2. Midnight Train - Se So Neon -- this is a song that lay beside me, from the first time I heard it and every time after. It actually doesn’t have a ton of lyrics, but the ones it has are vibrating with intention and casual pain. There is ice on the tip of your tongue but it mellows as the guitar takes you out with the tide. Sometimes the melody is clashing so hard against your teeth you’re worried it’ll just swallow you whole, but instead it falls like a heavy rain, washing everything clean. Please, please listen to this song.

3. Scream - Dreamcatcher -- they have never released a bad song, and I actually love their entire discography. It’s one of the few that I do listen to just by itself, no other artists. Dreamcatcher have never been afraid to be brash and in your face, nor do they shy away from saying how it is. There is an open wound inside this song, and your heartbeat is so loud in your ears. The lyrics are intense, the instrumentals are intense, the performances in the vocals are fire and wine and steel. I love it.

4. Can’t You See Me? - TXT -- I really loved Run Away in 2019, which for a debut year was jam packed with content. TXT has this wonderful take on youth and maturity and being real about your emotions. Their voices are soft and sweet, even while this song is talking about the disparity between reality and dreams, truth and lies. Every part of the song captures my attention, I don’t think it has any weak points, and I always picture the MV. Strawberries will never be the same. This song did sing my soul to me a little, but even though the sound was visceral it never cut through bone. It was gentle and kind, and held my hand.

5. Close - Han (Stray Kids) -- I did not expect that this little song would end up meaning so much to me, but it did. Stray Kids had an amazing year as always, but I guess my love for Han’s singing and his lyricism just got me. Han has a way of just pulling back all the weeds surrounding my feelings, but not tugging them straight out. He’s patient with the dandelions and doesn’t insist on clarity right away. This song got closer and closer to me the more I listened to it, until it was stuck in my head and I was never mad about it. There are blue skies and sunshine and someone is waiting for me, ready to smile when I turn around.

6. Back Door - Stray Kids -- the production behind SKZ’s music does continually get better, but I think the more appropriate term is “expands.” Their sound remains largely the same, while each new release tries something new, echoes the old, and continues to push the same message they’ve had since the beginning: inclusivity. Stray Kids is here for you, to welcome you into the club and to have a good time with you while we talk about the struggles we’re all facing. I haven’t yet gotten sick of this song, it goes by in a flash and for once, I don’t have a favorite part, or a section that gets stuck in my head more than others. It’s the whole package for me.

7. Kick It - NCT 127 -- NCT makes a lot of very clean, very specific sounding sounds that I don’t really care for. I have a few favorites, and actually really love the whole of the debut album, but I don’t go out of my way to listen to their music. Kick It, though, was just so much fun, it had sharp edges and and a smooth underbelly. Haechan sounds the best, I love his voice SO MUCH, but everyone sounds good. I like the unison parts, the repeat mantras, the bombastic way the lyrics aren’t really saying a lot but are so enthusiastic that you don’t care.

8. eight - IU, SUGA -- IU just continues to evolve and make music that is really, really good. None of her songs are overly complex or visionary, but they are friendly and relevant, and sit outside your door with brownies and lemonade. IU’s voice can do soft, can do poignant, can do intense, depending on her mood. She is a singer of extraordinary caliber and I love seeing everything she does next. eight was a simple but beautiful song that plays into your nostalgia without sugar-coating everything, and at the same time there’s such a lightness too it. It’s a short song and SUGA’s rap was such an unexpected addition that actually worked really well. 

9. So What - LOONA -- this is a song deserving of a much higher spot, but I think I just wasn’t quite as ready for LOONA’s next evolution as others’. Still, this song is so good, with potentially the best bridge of the entire year. Everyone sounds so good, the song hypes you up and never lets you down. Even though the concept is one we’ve seen before, LOONA never makes anything sound the same. There is no compromise, there is only awesomeness.

10. ON - BTS -- I went around in circles contemplating how much I did or didn’t like this song. BTS is going places with their music that I don’t love as much as their stuff from, say 2016-18, but they are still incredible artists and performers. And ignoring all the rest, all the talk, just focusing on the song itself, it’s really good. It’s really, really good and the kind of song that I unapologetically sing really loudly in the car. There are quieter parts that acknowledge how exhausting it is to keep moving forward when you’re in pain, strong, jagged tantrums that demand that the pain try harder to keep you down, spaces to breath and places to run. This is a song that says we’re going through a battle and it’s hard, but we can see that there is an end, there is hope, and nothing will keep us down. Even through pain and tears, we can go on. 

And now things get a little funky because I had a lot of favorites:

11. Tiger Eyes - Ryu Su Jeong Girls - Nature Villain - Stella Jang Boca - Dreamcatcher Left & Right - Seventeen

12. Come Back Home - ONEUS Summer Breeze - SF9 Apple - GFriend Bon Voyage - YooA pporappippam - Sunmi

13. Me Time - Yubin Easy - Stray Kids Favorite Boys - A.C.E Think of Dawn - Ghost9 The Stealer - The Boyz

14. One - Golden Child Alien - Lee Suhyun A Song Written Easily - ONEUS La Di Da - Everglow Blue Hour - TXT

15. Breath - GOT7 Hands Up - Cherry Bullet Answer/Inception - ATEEZ 90′s Love - NCT U End of Spring - ONEWE

Haikyuu!! Idol!AU Girl Group Edition

So, it’s finally here. 

DISCLAIMER: References are more K-pop than J-pop and concepts and songs are from groups I am familiar with.

The Group at a Glance

Dubbed as the Nation’s Girl Group. A permanent group formed from a reality competition/survival show (very much like Produce 101/Produce 48), and they were the final members chosen by the viewers.

Though in their case, they wouldn’t just promote as a whole group, but they would also promote at least two different sub-units (very much like LOONA), then there’s also a group with chosen members to represent the whole group based on the concept given (kind of like NCT with NCT U).

They’re a diverse group, and can pretty much sell different concepts earning them a reputation of being like a ‘chameleon’ group because they can adapt rather quickly.

Full of good looking members, all visual material, but don’t be fooled because these girls are dorks and most of the members are very competitive and that makes for a good variety show content.

Has a group Youtube channel where they showcase song and dance covers and also features member of the day vlogs.

 Concepts/Songs:

Overall concept or a whole group concept that best represents them would be WSJN’s Secret. Or I.O.I’s Crush. Though there’s also Twice’s Fancy and Feel Special, but I guess that’s later in their career as a group.

There’s also IZ*ONE’s La Vie en Rose, gugudan’s A Girl Like Me and The Boots, SNSD’s Mr. Mr. and Lion Heart, and Twice’s TT.

Sub-unit songs leaning towards girl crush concepts: gugudan’s Not That Type, Pristin V’s Get It, Red Velvet’s Bad Boy and Psycho, Everglow’s Bon Bon Chocolat and ITZY’s Dalla Dalla to name a few.

Sub-unit songs leaning towards cute, innocent concepts: Apink’s I don’t know, GFRIEND’s Glass Bead and Navillera. There’s also SNSD’s Oh, I.O.I’s Very Very Very, Twice’s Signal and Cheer Up, Red Velvet’s Dumb Dumb and Red Flavor, Twice’s What is Love? for starters.

Other songs: Red Velvet’s One of These Nights, I.O.I’s Downpour, gugudan’s Diary, 2NE1’s It Hurts and Lonely.

More songs that units can do: TaeTiSeo’s Twinkle, Red Velvet’s Be Natural, Sonamoo’s I Think I Love You, Twice’s OOH AHH, KARA’s Step, and T-ARA’s Lovey Dovey. I don’t know. These songs sound fun for them to do.

Girl groups have a wide range of concepts so they pretty much touched most of them. They also have their fair share of covering boy group songs and dances so there’s also that.

The Members (in order of age)

Haiba Alisa – Alisa is the oldest member of the group and serves as sub-vocal, and visual. She’s also the actress idol among the group, and prior to joining the show, she’d been training as a model and actress. The darling onee-san, known for her delicate mannerisms and remarkable sense of style. She’s always doting on her members especially the younger ones.

My reference for idol Alisa is SNSD’s Sooyoung.

Misaki Hana – Hana is the second oldest and serves as vocal and dancer of the whole group. She’s the sub-leader of the whole group and is the leader of one of the sub-units. She’s quiet but a versatile member, and is considered an all-rounder because give her anything, she can handle it. Was already known in some form prior to joining the show because during her trainee days, she was featured in one of her agency’s boy group MV as the leading lady.

gugudan’s Hana is my reference for idol Hana.

Michimiya Yui – Yui is the leader of the whole group, as well as the other sub-unit, serves as lead vocalist and dancer. She’s known within the fandom as the crybaby leader, flustered leader, because much as she tries to keep it in, she’s really emotional and she cares a lot about the members of the group. She’s chosen as the leader even though she’s not the oldest because time and again, during the show’s course, she’s always shown helping contestants, whether they’re in the same group or not, improve and this endeared her to the viewers.

Twice’s Jihyo is my reference for idol Yui.

Suzumeda Kaori – Kaori is the main rapper and lead dancer of the group. She’s one of the girls from her agency to be included in the final line-up. Basically has reverse charm because she’s quiet and sweet when in front of the camera, but when performing, she shifts into a lethal rapper and dancing machine. She’s also a good producer and has had a hand on some of the group’s releases.

Pristin’s Nayoung is my idol reference for Kaori.

Yamaka Mika - Mika is the group’s main vocal. A skilled songwriter as well, something she got from her father who’s a composer. Came from one of the big talent agencies so there was quite a lot of pressure on her to do well, which she did because she has the voice to prove it. The only member revealed to be in a relationship (much to the fanboy’s dismay), but they still support her, since her boyfriend seems to be really sweet and good to her (base from her Insta stories).

I.O.I and WSJN’s Yeonjung is my reference for Mika.

Shimizu Kiyoko – Kiyoko serves as the groups vocal and another visual. The ice queen-slash-winter goddess, as the fandom dubs her. She’s quiet and generally a poker-faced beauty but has some sort of 4d personality, especially when she’s ‘playing’ around with the younger members. The group’s representative to anything athletic, as she used to be part of the track team during her middle school years. The group’s dark horse when it comes to variety shows, because of her witty one liners. Has the most fanboys out of the members.

Red Velvet’s Irene is Shimizu’s idol reference.

Nametsu Mai – Mai is the main dancer of the group, and also serves as sub-rapper. The ‘dance cover diva’ as she’s known, she’s already a bit famous prior to joining the competition show because of her cover channel that has at least a million views on average and had been an instructor in one of the elite dance studios in the country.

SNSD’s Hyoyeon is Mai’s idol reference.

Shirofuku Yukie – Hails from the same agency as Kaori, and serves as the group’s other lead dancer and sub-vocal. The mukbang queen who is always seen eating in the background whether in behind the scenes videos or official videos, but she’s also the group’s chef and seems to be really knowledgeable about nutritional values of food and such.

Yukie’s idol reference is Twice’s Momo.

Amanai Kanoka – Kanoka is the group’s other rapper and dancer, is in charge of the height of the group as she’s the tallest member, with Alisa coming in second. Another representative for anything athletic as she used to play volleyball before she joined and trained to be an idol. Has a cute and undeniable crush on a famous rapper Ryuu, which she cites as her major inspiration (actually his song is what she used for her audition).

Sonamoo’s NewSun is my idol reference for Kanoka.

Yachi Hitoka – Yachi is the group’s maknae and is a dependable all-rounder despite being the youngest, although she’s mostly vocals and sometimes, sub-rapper. She’s the only daughter of a famous designer so she’s somehow known in that particular circle but she wanted to make a name of her own, so she decided to train as an idol. Has a good eye for design and has had a hand in designing the group’s official logo and some of their album covers.

Since I can’t choose, I have two idol references for Yachi: IZ*ONE’s Yena and Twice’s Dahyun.

BONUS:

Tanaka Saeko – I really wanted to include Saeko in the group, but she’s a league of her own and can’t be tamed so I just made her a rapper/soloist that has a girl crush, hip-hop concept/genre from the same agency that manages the activities of the group which basically means collaboration can happen. Elder sister of the rapper Ryuu, and they started out as a duo especially during their Youtuber days, but they both wanted to be able to stand on their own, so they signed independently from each other. Produces and writes most of her songs, and is also a skilled instrumentalist, particularly drums, and is adept with playing taiko.

Think of 2NE1’s CL, as she’s my reference for idol Saeko. 

(Saeko-neesan be like: naega jeil jal naga~)

I’d really want their collab song to be 2NE1’s I Love You. I think that would be so rad.

Anyway, that’s it! There are more idol au HC’s here.

K-Pop unpopular opinions

So this is my first post on Tumblr. Cool. 

ME AND THE K-POP GENRE

First thing first, why I like K-pop.

K-pop is not my favorite genre in today’s scene, my favorite genres are Rock, Metal and Alternative. As y’all can see, I’m emo and a hard-die fan of MCR and in general, I love emo groups as P!ATD, Fall out Boy, etc. I also do like a lot of metal and alternative bands, as Rammstein, Metallica, Alice In Chains, Ghost (ik a lot of people don’t like them, but idc I f*ckin love them), Coldplay, Foals, Glass Animals, Alt-J and I can say a lot more, but I don’t think I need to. So as you can see, my favorites genres have nothing to do with K-pop, so let me tell you how I entered this world.

So all of this happened in the summer of 2018 when I just came from Dublin, you know, the moment school has ended and you go traveling with your friends and all that stuff. Still remember it as one of the best experiences in my life tho.

So there I was, again in my country, with nothing to do, bored af, listening to the same music again and again. And I was so tired of listening to the same songs again and again. 

I was listening to “No Drama” by Tinashe and Offset on Youtube when “Fake Love” by BTS appeared in my recommended. I was really bored and wanting to die, so I told myself, “why not”.

And yeah... I spent 4 hours listening to BTS music. It was amusing tho.

By the end of the summer, I was an Army, I knew a lot of K-pop groups, I was into that sh*t. I started with BTS, then Blackpink, Twice, NCT, Red Velvet, Exo... I started with the same as people my age and k-popers in 2019.

At first in k-pop, I was so amused that I liked everything I was seeing, but, you get more experienced and you start to like other things and to dislike some you did love at first.

Now that I’m a little more experienced, I can tell my favorite groups are 2NE1, 4minute, f(x), Big Bang, Dreamcatcher and well, BTS (even tho lately I had been having encountered ideas about them).

But still, I like being honest to myself and I have my opinions. I moved on to other genres like metal and grunge etc. and I left k-pop to the side tbh. Some of the groups that I did like at first now they’re not my sh*t, I find some things kinda annoying now and as consequence I dislike some songs that I used to love.

Now that the introduction is done, and I don’t have anything else to say, let’s start.

These are my opinions, and if you have others I still respect them bro, so respect mines. Let’s get it.

MY K-POP UNPOPULAR OPINIONS

1. Aegyo and cute concepts are cringey.

Dude, 20-year-olds acting like babies is just annoying. These kinda 12-years-old voices that some idols have to fake is just... For example, Rosé from Blackpink. Man, let her sing with her real voice. Being brutally honest, cute concept choreos are all the same, they just don’t tell me anything. The thing I hate the most is that for these concepts some idols are forced to wear clothes that ain’t their style... So annoying, dude. (Groups that follow these concepts and I just don’t like as much as I used to, are Twice and Loona)

2. I think that interviews in English are boring if only one member knows how to speak English. They are idols, they should know at least the basics to communicate. Having to watch and listen to just one idol trying their best to communicate while the others are just doing the m*therfucker ain’t that funny.

3. Dating bans are stupid, they are used as a way to keep fans following their idol. Because if a fan knows their idol is dating it makes them seem unavailable. To childish fans (or most k-popers) being able to dream of dating and marrying their idol it’s more appealing to bias someone and continue dreaming a non-existent future. Real fans don’t care about the dating life of an idol, so they should be able to do whatever the f*ck they want.

4. Sexy concepts and badass ones are the best, fight me.

From what I heard from Korea, the racism and how conservative and close-minded some koreans are, I think these concepts break a Lil’ the rules. Idols like CL, songs as Hate (4minute), Jessi, Hyuna, etc. break korean schemes and rules, and they make me reset my faith in humanity like, come on bro, we all can be open-minded, live and let other people live. 

Also, I think that these concepts have the best choreos, aggresive choreos are just so cool, and as well as they have the best instrumentals, noisy ones are just f*cking awesome, change my mind. The fact that they show 20-years-old as mature, strong people is just high-quality stuff. (Groups that blow my mind with this concepts are for example Ateez and Dreamcatcher)

5. Loona stans are so annoying with their “stan Loona”. B*tches, stop being so annoying. If we don’t want to stand your group we’re not gonna, stop that bullsh*t. Anyway, I’m not hating on Loona or her non-psycho fans.

6. Red Velvet lasts songs, Zimzalabim and Umpah Umpah are just messy. Their recent concepts are messy, they look uncomfortable in their clothes and the choreos ain’t that good neither. Hope their next comeback is better tho, they have the potential to do it.

7. Mamamoo are the real queens of k-pop, people should stop sleeping on them, they’re are amazing and their personalities are brilliant. On stage they are one of the best groups so far, their voices are just so stable and powerful. They have the potential to be as big as Blackpink or BTS, so y’all should stop sleeping on them, homies.

8. There are so many Twice songs that sound the same. Feel Special is not that much of a bop tho, and they have a lot of songs that are just simply a miss. Sorry, my dudes. I think a more mature concept would fit them so well, with a more powerful instrumental, with that, they would conquer the k-pop world.

9. Chung Ha’s songs ain’t that good. Snappin’ aesthetic is gorgeous, the concept is so attractive, but the song itself it’s boring. She’s pretty, she knows how to dance, her aesthetic is f*ckin’ awesome, but I feel like her songs need smth to spice them up. They need that smth that they don’t have to turn them to bops. (Also I hate Chica with all my life, that song just gets me on my nerves).

10. Y’all are gonna hate me with this one, but I think BAAM and BBoom BBoom ain’t the same. Like man, it’s true they sound alike, but to me, they have such different vibes. BBoom BBoom it’s amusing and cheerful, has this kinda vibes that make you wanna dance, and BAAM has this kinda nostalgic, melancholic vibe in the sound of the song that sets your heart on fire. That’s the way I find them, it’s my opinion.

11. I know y’all have been waiting for this moment. Let’s talk about BTS. Armys, say whatever the f*ck you want, but as a real one, I’m gonna spill the tea. Their music now is worse, too commercial and doesn’t transmit any feeling. Come on, let’s admit it dudes, is the reality.

Boy With Luv ain’t good. Halsey is a good singer with so much potential, Nightmare and Without Me are pretty good examples of this, and they did her so dirty. Also, the lyrics are just cringey. I don’t know about you, but Come be my teacher and your one, your two, don’t say anything to me. In general, I feel like Map Of The Soul: Persona ain’t that good of an album. They could’ve used the concept of Dionysus in all the album, I don’t know, something like greek gods flexin’ their money in all the album, and it could’ve be such a bomb. Make it Right, Home and Dionysus are the only remarkable songs of the album, the rest are just meh, I could listen to them 200 times and they won’t stick to me, they’re just basic and boring. They have changed, my dudes. I feel like they’re not who they were once anymore. It’s a fact that they slay on stage and their voices are stable (not all of their voices tho). Their concerts are bomb, the choreos are amazing and that’s something we cannot deny. (But the inflatable castle for Anpanman was a no for me). In conclusion, their music now is just commercial basic pop, they should try to mix their old sounds with smth new.

Well, my dudes, I have more opinions on k-pop but you know, I think this is long enough, in the future I will make a second part of this, but for now, this is all.

Tell me your opinions if you want, and if not it’s also okay.

That’s all folks, bye.

- Brooke.

RK PLAYLIST

1.       Lonely 2NE1

I must not be worthy of this thing called love,

even though I’m by your side Baby I’m so lonely

Though the song seems to be more about being lonely in a romantic relationship, lonely is a feeling that Tzuyu can relate. And the song in a romantic context can largely apply to her parents’ relationship and how they felt, what might have led them to other people. The sentiment of wondering if she is worthy of love after being neglected and ignored by her parents in favor of new relationships, the new light that this shines on relationships to her. This song represents all those feelings in Tzuyu’s life.

2.       Because of you Kelly Clarkson

I cannot cry Because I know that's weakness in your eyes. I'm forced to fake A smile, a laugh every day of my life

The song is specifically about parental neglect and the feelings of abandonment that come with that disconnect form a parental figure. The quote more specifically can even be applied to the relationship Tzuyu has with her father as his words and judgement make it hard to express sadness or cry because of his dismissal of the severity of a situation. It always made her feel silly for finding something distressing and being told nothing was actually wrong.

3.       The only exception Paramore

When I was younger, I saw my daddy cry and curse at the wind. He broke his own heart…

A similar song about someone promising themselves not to “sing of love if it does not exist” as a result of watching parental figures struggle with the relationship and in turn giving distorted images of what love is to their child. The song, though, refers to someone as ‘the only exception’ suggesting that the singer finds love and believes in it despite having seen the worst parts of a relationship. Tzuyu tends to be a romantic and crush very easily despite what she’s seen in her own parents’ relationship.

4.       Imaginary Evanescence

In my field of paper flowers and candy clouds of lullaby I lie inside myself for hours…

The song is just reflecting the singer’s unwillingness to face reality and explores in the lyrics, the fantasy world of sorts that the singer has built in their minds to escape reality. Tzuyu similarly lives with her head in the clouds and has a hard time facing reality. When it comes to being an adult and facing an unknown future she does this but also, when it comes to sadness. It’s rare for her to want to show that.

5.       All the things she said t.A.T.u

And I'm all mixed up, feeling cornered and rushed

They say it's my fault but I want her so much

 Though there is no ‘her’ in Tzuyu’s life as there is in the song, she shares the same confused feelings for suddenly feeling herself attracted to women in any way. She is not as brave as the song lyric’s suggest but she does, instead, become close to women that she feels any attraction towards to rationalize in her head why she might have felt something that she didn’t want to recognize.

 6.       I’m not a girl, not yet a woman Britney Spears

I used to think I had the answers to everything but now I know That life doesn't always Go my way

The title of the song is pretty self-explanatory. Since the time in the rp specifically, Tzuyu has graduated and in her new adult life, she is constantly learning about decisions and things she has to do. She’s learning that the idealistic view she had of the world isn’t how it works. That tough love puts her in between the young girl that she is and the adult who must make responsible decisions that she must become.

7. Play my music the Jonas brothers

Musics in my soul. I can hear it everyday and every night it’s the one thing on my mind

Music is her thing. The thing she likes the most. The way she copes with anything. Though she hasn’t come to that conclusion yet. It is and always will be the thing to sooth any bad feelings and to enhance any good feelings.

8. Circus Britney Spears

Well baby I’m a put-on-a-show kind of girl. Don’t like the backseat gotta be first

All eyes on me in the center of the ring just like a circus.

Feeling like she always takes the backseat and isn’t anyone’s priority, has left her with a sort of craving for attention. The magic of performance and the attention it gets her is everything she wants and more as she gets to do what she loves to do and be loved for it.

9. Marshmallow IU

Im shy and worrisome. When I’m thinking of you, my face turns red. Why am I doing this?

The song is cute which is the kind of personality and aesthetic Tzuyu likes the most. The lyrics also talk about shyness and first love which is something that she quietly becomes familiar with.

10. Kiss later Yeojin (Loona)

If you like me. If you mean it. Will you make me trust you more ?

The same concept of shy love but more emphasis on being nervous and wanting to be sure of someone before kissing and hoping a guy will move at her pace. This is more of a teenage Tzuyu but even as she moves on and becomes more open to the possibility of dating, she’s still hoping to go at the same pace since her shyness with the opposite sex also left her inexperienced.

11. Bidi bidi bom bom Selena

My heart goes crazy every time I see him pass by and it’s starts beating like this, like this

Though, she’s shy and inexperienced, she crushes so easily. Never made a move on anything but songs about the effects of crushes and the thoughts one gets over a crush come easily to her. Same nervousness and beating/ fluttering described in the song.

12. Likey- TWICE

Need I say more?

[yanderous]

I'm not sure, probably insomnia. Yup, I'll keep that in mind, naps sound good. I'm guessing you knew this person at on point in your life, but don't talk anymore due to a falling out? Or something like that?

(if not ignore this part)

I'm glad you're feeling a bit better now. 🥳

I heard about that scandal (AOA Jimin), it seemed like it was everywhere at the time. I've seen the group from time to time, but never really heard anything about them until the scandal. It does sound disappointing, supporting/stanning her so hard only to find out she's a bully. I don't think I've heard anything about the other one you mentioned. That or I forgot. Hopefully Soojin's bullying accusations are false. That's too bad she left the group. At least you have still have Loona 😆! Which songs by them are your favorite? While I'm not an avid fan, I've heard some of their music before. (admittedly their more popular songs)

Yes, you can't go wrong with 2D! Nope, it's not a bother to me at all. You could share whatever you want with me. I'm open to hearing about anything. Only If you want to that is...

To, Ruru 🥰

No, they're still a friend. But I wish I could've stand up when I was mistreated by them. They were passive-agressive at one point and I did nothing. People think I'm naive because I'm calm but in reality I'm exhausted to confront them and I just end up accepting their shitty attitudes.

Well, that that me back then, I won't allow that anymore.

Soojin case was special. There was like a wave of people accusing idols from bullying and Soojin's case was taken very seriously. Her company said they would act through legal terms and ended up doing NOTHING even when Soojin stated solid proofs and points in her defense. They just kicked her out.

The company is well know for being shitty to their artists. Disappointed and not surprised coming from CUBE entertainment. Fuck them.

Loona is my comfort group 😭 I was about to tattoo their logo/name but I thought that maybe it was a stupid idea so I ended up choosing Ghostface.

I think Love4Eva and Egoist are my favorite ones since I relate lots to them, specially the first one, that's basically a long story short of how my friendships were. I kin Olivia Hye in the Loona universe because,,, well,,, yeah... 😅

I recommend you to listen to Odd Eye Circle songs, all sounds catchy and beautiful, specially Sweet Crazy Love, and Jinsoul's solo Singing in the Rain, I love it very much and I usually recommend that song when I introduce Loona to friends 💕

Anon, can I know your zodiac sign? I'm really really curious about it, please
