Ouch! That was one awkward dinner 😬💢 believe it or not, but I was genuinely hoping it would work out!! (You owe me thirty simoleons, Su 💅)

After the car crash at the caféteria, someone was NOT in the mood to see others being happy 🙄🐺 not our fault your bed is such a lonely spot, honey! Maybe try biting less the next time 🤭

💕 Free tip to my favorite followers: if you can't focus on the exam, you know the kiss was good 🤩💋

Chapter 4

Masterlist!

♡Warning cuz Y/n's a bitch, im fucking removing stanny baby im sorry i just had to its horrendous. I dont really like this chapter its a bit shit AGED UP

LUNCH TIME! Y/n walked over to her lunch table her friends following her, "Y/n, could i speak to you?" A certain redhead walked up to the table, as Y/n placed her perfectly orginised pink lunch bix on the table, her look turning sour, avoiding eye contact. "Please Y/n i need to explain what happened" He pleaded, "What happened, Kyle. I don't remember anything in particular." Y/n finally made eyecontact, eyes red with anger at this point, although a grin spreading on her face. She knew he'd come back to his senses. They always do. "Please Y/n just let me explain" After his begging, she finally decided to go with him "Girls i'll be a second" She smiled sweetly at the girls, waving bye as she walked off with the tall redhead.

"Kyle." She looks up at him expectantly, a teasing smile. "I'm sorry Y/n I- I dont know what came over me- I heard Stan b-broke up with Wendy and I dont want to handle the competition. Y/n I ju-" Kyle stammers, turning red, "I don't think you realise how many people actually want you" He sighs, finally getting his point across. Y/n smiles, her smile turning into a giggle, then a full on cackle. Kyle turns red, shifting uncomfortably not really understanding what was so funny, Y/n carries on laughing in his face, wiping away her tears.

"Kyle honey, thats crazy!!! How could I not know?" Y/n's hysterics finally came to end, as she wiped tears away from her eyes, trying not to ruin her makeup, "Besides, Stan is like, ugly. You are wayyyy hotter!" Y/n smiles sweetly clinging on to his arm, batting her eyelashes at him. Kyle smirks, him? Hot?? This was his chance to shoot his shot. "Y/n I dont want to be a summer fling anymore. Can we like go out on a real date? I swear I'll save up and take you somewhere nice!" He looks down at her expecting a yes and a big kiss. "Kyle baby, you know how hard it is for me and my trust issues. But because you are so cute I'll think about it" Y/n kisses him on the cheek and waves before heading back to the caféteria, making a quick stop to the girls lavatory.

Reapplying a bit of makeup and spraying herself with a sweet bodymist, Y/n checks her phone.

Stan

Y/n I dont know if you heard but I broke up with Wendy

I'm just so upset, could you come over tonight I dont want to be alone

Y/n please

Jesus fucking christ he is so needy.

Y/n

Awwww Handsome what a shame!

I'll keep you company 😉😘

He wasnt upset. He just wanted to get in her pants like everyone else. Y/n tuts and rolls her eyes, walking back to the cafeteria.

"Y/N BABY I MISSED YOU" Bebe whined, giving her a huge hug. "Awww gorgeous I missed you too" Y/n cooed patting her back, sitting beside them.

So Y/n is a bit two-faced hm? Maybe She isnt the saint everyone thinks she is....

I think I wouldn't mind most of these under the workers' state. Like most of the awfulness of work and the terrible working conditions associated with some of these fields is caused by capitalism, the further we develop society on the path towards socialism the better work would become for everyone.

I definitely wouldn't want to work in:

Mining. Spending significant amount of time underground would depress me. Maybe working above ground with something related to mining, but not as a miner myself, at most.

Engineering. Just seems miserable to me IDEK why LOL

Soldier or police. There isn't going to be a standing army as such or even a police-force in the same way that we talk about police today, at least not once the workers' rule has become firmly established. *1

"Party worker". Because I'm assuming that's a euphemism for bureaucrat, and they wouldn't exist in a healthy workers' state either. *2

But the rest would be fine. I think I'd like to work in a few different fields throughout my life, actually. Maybe. Probably the top ones I would want to work in here would be:

"Customer service". I quite like working the front of the house in restaurants for example, and without the pressures of capitalism and the accompanying devaluation of customer service workers I think that'd be pretty nice work. I like talking to people and being nice to strangers. Maybe working in a communal caféteria could be cool.

Childcare. This is where most of my actual work experience is, and I find the work both fun and enormously gratifying. It's a lot but you get a lot back. Under the workers' state it'd definitely be highly valued work and working conditions which right now are quite difficult in this field would be better then.

But I'd like to try farmwork, logistics, or factorywork, too. All critical fields for society obviously, and I think ideally it would be good for a person to at least have some experience in one of them. Again with better working conditions associated with the rule of the working class over society I think it'd be good enough.

Maybe later on when I'm more grown I could undertake university studies in some field or another. Astronomy is a childhood dream of mine, that'd be cool if you'll allow me to dream. I'm interested in linguistics, too. That might be cool, but I probably wouldn't want to be a linguist. I've thought about speech therapist as a potential future profession, combining my liking for phonology with helping people.

[adhd-attention-deficit-dumbass]

do you have any recommendations for how to handle an understimulating university environment? i dropped out a year and a half ago after failing spectacularly, then realised i had adhd.

i remember being incredibly bored in every class despite the degree being the thing i'm most interested in. help, how do i fix this? i really would like to go back some day!

Hello! Thank you for your question❤️

Apologies for the late reply, depression has really been kicking my butt this year.

As someone who has struggled with this exact thing I will tell you right away that it isn’t an easy fix. It’s a process and you might have to go through some trial and error before you find something that works for you. I can’t promise I have the right answer for you but I will do my best.

What I can offer are some suggestions on how maintain your interest and thus your focus and motivation.

1. Make the subject more interesting

This can be tricky when you’re doing something you already know you enjoy but still feel understimulated. Try finding or incorporating at least one tiny tidbit of information that interest you and focus on that in order to keep up your general interest.

As an example: I once took a class on the history of crisis, and there was a lot of stuff in there that didn’t really interest me even though I liked the subject in general. It was hard to motivate myself at the start. However I was able to incorporate one of my special interests into my essay for that class and that made the entire thing much more enjoyable because I was able to gush and learn more about my special interest.

2. Stimulate yourself to prevent boredom🧠

The general idea is to occupy yourself with something minor that allows you to listen and participate without suffering through overwhelming understimulation. Some suggestions are:

Making fun/interesting notes. Draw charts, diagrams, make little boxes or circles around your text, draw arrows, add little thought bubbles or clouds, whatever floats your boat.

Drawing

Fidget toys, they can be anything for a ball of sticky putty, necklaces, rings, kneadable erasors to just a simple hairtie.

Fidgeting, some examples of non-disruptive fidgeting are: rolling or twirling a pen between your fingers (resist the alluring urge to click your pen so as not to bother others), dangling your legs back and forth, wiggling your feet/toes, tapping your fingers against each other, chewing gum etc

Knitting/crocheting/other hand-based work that is easily portable.

Be aware that some of these require that you not get too distracted by what you’re doing, it might be a good idea to try different things until you find one that doesn’t take away too much of your concentration.

3. Use external motivators

This one might be a hit or miss depending on your personality but for many people external motivation can really help you stay focused when internal motivation is lacking. Some examples of external motivators are:

Sitting in front. By sitting in front you have a more direct view of the person speaking and this helps engage you in what they’re teaching. You also have their eyes on you more often which will act as an external reminder to pay attention.

Join studious peers. This works as a sort of body double system. If I see that the people next to me are paying close attention that makes me want to do the same.

Reward yourself when you successfully maintain focus with something you look forward to. This can be anything from getting a treat to some extra minutes gaming time later that day, whatever sparks your dopamine.

As an example: I used to have 45-minute lectures with a 10-15 minute break and then another 45-60 minute lecture after that. If I had paid attention and made good notes after the first 45 minutes I would treat myself to coffe and a pastry from the caféteria during our break. This was a way for me to reward myself for doing a good job. So whenever I felt my motivation lacking I would remind myself that I needed to pay attention if I wanted that cinnamon bun later on.

🌼I hope these answers were helpful to you. Remember to be kind to yourself and don’t judge yourself if things don’t work out right away. 🌼

Thank you for reading and good luck🌼

ice pack - k.gn

(gunil x fem!reader)

wc : 582 | genre : fluff, crack(?) | cws : another old one, sorry :(

*^____^*

her and gunil were in the practice room when everyone else wasn't there. the two were enjoying themselves, while she listened to his drums.

the beats and rhythms were able to make her happy. the joy on his face whenever he played for her, or for anyone, was adorable to her.

though on this day, he got a bit too into his music. one of the sticks flew flying, and hit her in the head pretty badly.

"jagiya*. are you okay?" he said while quickly walking over to her. "ah, i'm fine..! i think? my head hurts a bit..." she said, while rubbing the spot where she got hit. "i'll be back in a few, stay here, okay?" was all he said before he left the room and ran to the caféteria to grab her ice, occasionally bumping into a few co-workers. ("jagiya" is the equivalent of honey/dear in english :))

"annyeong, chan-hyung!" he quickly blurted out. "annyeong gunil, where are you off to? caféteria? i think hannie is there if you want to chat." chan replied. "ah, that's nice, but i might not be able to... hopefully next time!" gunil replied while walking away.

as he reached the caféteria, he waved to some co-workers, walked to one of the soda fountains and grabbed a cup of ice, wrapping it in many tissues. "this should be enough," he thought. "eh, i'll get some more, it wouldn't hurt."

so he did just that, and grabbed another cup to fill with ice. was it a bit too much? yes. but, he wasn't going to let her have a big lump on her head anytime soon.

he quickly ran back to the practice room, seeing her scrolling on her phone with her hand on her head. "jagiya. i'm back! are you feeling any better? here, i tried making this makeshift ice pack. i hope it's enough for now." "aw, thanks gunil. my head is stinging a little bit." she said while placing it on her head.

"i'm sure you'll feel better soon." he said while giving her a short peck on her hand holding his ice pack. "i think so too. oh, i think it's time for me to go, seems like jjoo and gaon are here." she said while waving to the two outside the door.

"ah, yes, unfortunately... or, do you want to stay? i'm sure everyone else will be fine with it." "if you're sure, then i'll stay." she replied as she walked to the door, opening it. 

"woooah! what happened to you?" jooyeon exclaimed, looking really confused. "did gunil-hyung hit you in the head again?" gaon asked, giving gunil a slightly annoyed look.

"haha, yes, but it's not that bad. i promise."  she said, softly laughing at the two."if you're sure... we wouldn't mind giving him a flick on the forehead every once in a while." gaon replied, while gunil was staring at the three of them. "gaon-ah! i heard that!" he shouted. "oops... sorry hyung..." gaon said while bowing.

"well, what'd we miss?" jungsu asked, while holding the door open for o.de. "nothing, jungsu. other than... some stuff. but i'm sure they'll tell you eventually." she said, walking over to the chair near gunil's drums.

as she sat down, he looked at her, and asked again, "are you okay? you said your head was stinging earlier, how is it now?" "i'm fine now, why don't you start practice, hm? you've got some people waiting." she replied, giving him a pat on the back while looking at everyone else.

 Danger Zone - Tarlos College au - pt. 9

Summary: TK is Carlos’ first roommate at UT Austin. Too bad he’s as handsome as he is messy, loud and absolutely insatiable.

Chapter Summary: What happens when both of them bring people up to their dorm room at the same time?

Series: Hook ‘Em Verse (Part 1)

Teaser: The spotlight burns in his eyes and immediately makes Carlos sweat in his wool sweater. It’s the humiliation of it all that tinges his cheeks scarlet; TK’s absolutely glowing at being the center of attention at the Christmas party does the rest. Carlos had tried getting out of karaoke, grateful to know all the emergency exits out of the caféteria, but Mateo had taken him by the shoulders and steered him to the Christmas tree with a “Dude, the stage is over there.”

Before Carlos can change his mind, Grace places her microphone into his hands with a finality and a wink. He supposes he knows who might have put TK and him on that sign up sheet together. Apparently, the pair of them didn’t only have Marjan as a member of the fanclub.

“Carlos?” At his name, he turns to his left. TK wears a devilish smile and a challenge in the twinkle of his eyes. “Try to keep up.”

If Carlos were anyone else, he would have told him to fuck himself and left him to sing alone. Instead, he grips the mic tightly and takes a deep breath. Just then, the projection on the screen turns on, animated snowflakes sailing down a light blue background and a familiar upbeat melody starts. Over it, Carlos hears the soft tinkle of a laugh from TK. Before the lyrics start, the screen shows three different colors, one indicating each part, the last for the parts they sing together.

Carlos is more than relieved that TK takes the first color and verse. To his chagrin, TK’s voice isn’t half bad, made intentionally deeper and a bit raspier to suit the original version of Santa Baby. He’s not sure he can ever listen to that song again after this. At the line “I’ve been an awful good girl” TK slides his hands over his hips, down his thighs and bends low. People surrounding them and the Christmas tree chuckle and whoop.

Mo 17.02.2025 12:00 – 13:30 Uhr Caféteria im Haus der Familie, Bei der Schilleroper 15, 22767 Hamburg

Verteilung von geretteten Lebensmitteln an Gemeinschaftsküchen und Bedürftige

In der Caféteria im Haus der Familie können alle Besucher an einem Tisch sitzen und etwas Frühstücken. Von dem gerettetem Obst und Gemüse machen wir auch Smoothies, siehe Fotos. Beim gemeinsamen Zusammensein und Unterhalten über dies und das, verteilen wir untereinander freundschaftlich und gerecht alle gespendeten und geretteten Lebensmittel.

Wir beginnen mit den Küfas, den Küchen für alle, den Gemeinschaftsküchen. Die bekommen stets zuerst. Hier wird das Obst und Gemüse an viele Menschen weiter gereicht.

Danach schauen wir gemeinsam wie viele Besucher wir sind und wie viele Waren in unseren Kisten sind, um eine faire und gerechte Aufteilung zu ermitteln. Dabei entdecken wir bestimmt Waren, von denen wir nicht so viele haben. Diese seltenen Sachen verteilen wir zu Beginn untereinander unter Anleitung von Anika Liekefett. Wenn beispielsweise unter dem gerettetem Obst eine Ananas dabei ist und zwei Leute diese mitnehmen möchten, dann schneiden wir diese Frucht in zwei gleich große Hälften und teilen sie friedlich auf. Alle Besucher haben Tragetaschen oder Tüten mitgebracht. Die zwei, die jetzt jeweils eine Ananas-Hälfte erhalten, sind sogar mit Tupperdosen ausgerüstet, um die Frucht entgegen zu nehmen.

In der Zwischenzeit hat Anika Liekefett’s Mann Gregor Hartz die Waren, von denen mehr da sind, durchgezählt und kann erklären, wie viel von jeweils einer Sache eine Partei mitnehmen kann. Etwas Gewicht legen wir dabei auf Personen mit Kindern. Wenn von einer Sache mehr da ist, als Besucher, dann sollen diese einen Teil mehr erhalten. „Kinder zuerst“ ist hier die Maxime.

Alleinerziehende Mütter bekommen schon vor der Verteilung einen Warenkorb, da diese durch ihre Lebenssituation besonders gefordert sind.

Alle sind herzlich eingeladen, uns zu besuchen. Die verteilten Lebensmittel sind für alle gedacht, denen es finanziell besser gehen könnte. Rentnerinnen, Bürgergeldempfängerinnen, Geflüchteten oder Geringverdiener*innen, die jeden Cent zweimal umdrehen müssen, wollen wir Unterstützung geben.

Wir möchten, dass durch unsere Verteilung von geretteten Lebensmitteln, die Haushaltskassen aller etwas Erleichterung erfahren. Durch das gemeinsame Zusammensein bei „Retten Teilen Helfen“ tun wir auch etwas gegen Einsamkeit.

Mitsubishi

Tout a fait!

Il présente bien

C'est votre système?

Non, nous n'avons pas encore commencé, donc vous voyez en relisant nous avions dit que nous allions réfrigérer la chambre UV, c'est KO cela déjà, on ne va réussir qu'à créer la condensation que vous avez mentionné dans cette chambre, dont le but est de sanitiser l'air de toutes traces biologiques et d'humidité, les 2 vont ensemble en général

Continuez

Le problème qui se pose dans un navire de 85m et de plusieurs étages est comment faire en sorte que l'air soit aspiré de manière uniforme, et qu'il soit encore assez puissant pour passer dans ces filtres, ce qui est une réelle problématique

Continuez

Nous avons dit que l'air était aspiré au niveau des plinthes, pragmatiquement il ne va pas être possible d'aspirer tout ce volume et que cela puisse encore passer dans des filtres aussi consistants

Et donc?

Nous allons implémenter des compresseurs

Vous aviez prévu des modules au dessus des caféterias secondaires et principales?

C'est cuit diriez vous, la surface est occupée, au mieux on pourra installer des filtres passifs au dessus en prenant 20cm sur la hauteur

Bien, et?

…C'est séquentiel n'est ce pas? Les volets de ces plinthes sont motorisés électriquement pour se fermer

Et pourquoi cela?

Car sinon nous n'allons aspirer que les decks inférieurs et non le reste, cette aspiration doit être séquentielle pour couvrir l'ensemble

Double Bravo!

Éventuellement chaque deck est son environnement propre puisqu'ils ne sont connectés que par les ascenseurs, biensur a l'exception des escaliers que nous avons aménagé a l'arrière des decks principaux, donc ces 2 la sont des binômes

Continuez

Il devient possible d'aspirer un deck en particulier en clôturant les plinthes des autres decks

Tirelire!

Casino Professeur

Le Projet Casino!

Pour notre HVAC et purification de l'air, qui est séquentiel pour son fonctionnement également au niveau des decks

Ou l'aspiration commence par les decks supérieurs vers les decks inférieurs et pour finir la salle des machines, ou l'air cette fois ci va arriver avec une puissance suffisante grâce aux compresseurs pour que notre HVAC termine l'aspiration a travers les filtres

Je confirme! Egalement il ne faut pas sous estimer la propagation de l'air chaud à travers les échanges des volumes contenus dans les capsules des ascenseurs, donc oui absolument de haut en bas en clôturant les plinthes qui ne sont pas sollicitées, deck par deck

A présent que vous avez résolu la question de la purification de l'air, venez en a la conclusion que j'attends de vous

Par rapport a?

Vous venez de purifier l'air, le HVAC va le réinjecter

Oui biensur

Ou cela?

Dans les plinthes…

Absolument! Ces plinthes permettent d'évacuer l'air usé par cycles, mais également d'injecter de l'air frais, l'opération séquentielle, et automatisée, des plinthes reste cruciale car elle va permettre de répartir l'air frais, ou chaud, deck par deck

Nous allons renommer ce projet Baseboard Professeur, car cette technologie existe, mais uniquement pour la climatisation et non la purification de l'air, et sans doute pas a bord d'un soumarin

…Il y a cependant une contrainte a utiliser les plinthes pour un retour d'air Professeur, même purifié

Vous pensez a des particules qui seraient la?

Exact Professeur

Cette contrainte peut être mitigée par des filtres air jetables au niveau des plinthes, que l'on change régulièrement

Bravo Professeur, vous venez de doubler la durée de vie de nos filtres HEPA

DARING TO FALL IN LOVE AGAIN

This is my first time writing a fanfic. I've transformed all of my imaginations into a cute story. English is not my first language and thereby apologize if there are mistakes in grammar and vocabulary.

I noticed that "THE ROSE" k-pop band has less fanfics, and they deserve to have more fanfics. And here's one :) do let me know in the comments how's it..

This fanfic focuses on the bassist, Jaehyeong..

This is THE ROSE 🌹

Jaehyeong is at the right side, wearing pink shirt with letters.

He has a charming smile and cute cheeks! He kinda resembles J-Hope to me!

You had all the guts to fall in love again. After many heartbreaks. It's the final year of your college , just boring. Nothing excited you anymore like how it was during the Freshman year. You glued your mind to only study and get a good job. Just hunt a job and become rich. You realized the word love is not meant for you, and you are sick of love. You came out of all the traumatic experiences (relationships, crush , exes, unfinished business with 3 guys). Now, you are all set to begin a new Journey.

Your mom started teasing you .... asking you if you'd fall in love again and fail. She asked jokingly.

You were certain. You told her you'd never fall in love again and that you're serious in life from now on. "You're gonna come to me if someone gives you butterflies , breaks your heart again." she added rolling and  falling and tears commenced to build in her eyes by uncontrollable laughter . MOM STOP!! you exclaimed in a serious tone, yet controlling your laughter , sighing . You crossed your arms and laid your back on the couch, letting out a deep breath. 

Now you're in bed, so anxious , as it's your final year. You wonder how things would be, the projects that you need to do, your graduation etc. Your mind is clouded with these thoughts. Also you started to wonder if you would actually fall in love with someone again, as you fall in love every single semester.

(This is how your semesters were: Falling in love, him cheating on you with another girl or ghosting you, leaving you off in the middle without proper communication. You cursed everyone of them that they'd come back to you later, and they did come. But you never gave a damn later. If you had a crush, you'd make a move and they'll be easily attracted to you because of your charms and cuteness. They will make you fall for them more then slowly pull away from you. Technically ghosting you. Then no contact after that. This was how things were, Believe it or not. )

Now that you are finally over those things, not interested to be in a relationships anymore. You have been single for almost 4 months and this the longest you've ever been single. You are just so innocent yet mature enough that you fall easily and they'd take advantage of you.

You are very anxious. You started to listen to "BEAUTY AND THE BEAST BY THE ROSE" to ease your anxiousness . 

(You may listen to it , if you haven't yet :)

https://open.spotify.com/track/6cLwgFQvn69ATT9GX7hCIs?si=rcy4EP-ZRvyTgwvx0wbp0w&context=spotify%3Aplaylist%3A37i9dQZF1DZ06evO39ZvWM )

TIME SKIP...

Dressed for college, you took a deep breath, feeling anxious. Music calmed you. Stepping onto campus, suffocation gripped you..

You decided to call your best friend , Lily, to meet up. She asked you to head to the caféteria, the place where you guys hangout often . When you finally arrived in, you squeeled in excitement and hugged her tightly. 

LILY: "Long time no see! literally seeing you after 2 months!"  in an excited tone. "You gained some weight!... are you seeing someone?.." she added with a smirk, hitting you lightly.

YOU: "No way bitch, I have been happier , no more love and heartbreaks!"  snapping your fingers in front of her face.

 LILY: Let's see whatever it is...

You ordered a drink, just a strawberry milkshake and sat with your best friend , and started gossipping with her. "So you were all alone before I came here?" you asked her after gulping in your drink. "I called over 4 of my friends, but they didn't come yet.. " she sighed anticipating for messages / calls from her phone. "Who is it? 4 people? your hostel mates? or...." you dragged, not sure how to end the question. "Guys from business department" she nibbled in a cheeseball.

"What? business? you have no friends there!"  you slammed the table; widening your eyes. "Actually , Josh introduced me to them... they are kinda cool and chill "

 "Ah.. I see.. Josh it is.. yeah his friends are kinda cool tho not gonna lie" you raised your eyebrows... 

"Hellloooo!!!" a guy came in behind Lily, lightly knocking on top of her head. There were three other guys with them, you figured out that it was those business guys. "Eh?"  whispered under your breath with a disgusted look on your face. "Ya! how long should I wait? waiting for such a long time...huh ~ " she tilted her head . "Hey hey sorry... we got late.. met Josh on the way "  he confronted her as he wrapped his arms around her. He sat next to her. You glanced at him, feeling furious already for being touchy with her. You had a look at the other boys. They occupied the chairs next to him. They all seemed decent, cool, and chill at the same time. "Hey! I'm Sammy!" he introduced himself with a bright smile and rosy cheeks, by waving at you . I bowed lightly and smiled.

 "I'm y/n" you introduced yourself anxiously, hiding it with a smile. 

But a guy among them had all his eyes on you. You couldn't tell why he is looking that way. Not in a creepy way , but with a smile on his face. But it didn't portray as a crushing or flirty look. You glanced once at him. 

"Hey y/n, meet my friends from business department. This idiot is Sammy, also known as Woosung" she said while rolling her eyes. "Says another idiot" he mirrored her expressions and gently knocked her head, and put back his arms around her. "This is Dojoon, the sweetest and funniest guy!" he smiled in a shy way and bowed lightly. "This is Hajoon, strongest guy.. look at his arms! and btw he's a drummer" she added, patting his shoulders. He didn't even look at you, he just smiled looking at her. He became so shy. "And lastly, this is Jaehyeong" she introduced him by placing her open palm under his chin. So he's the guy that kept looking at you. "No compliments about me uh?" he added with raised eyebrows. "Ah... he's a good player.." Lily said.

 "Player WHAT!!!????" Jaehyeong balled his eyes out, eyebrows raised and mouth parted, while the rest of the boys laughed their asses out. You know you love dirty jokes, but you couldn't control, you sprayed out the last sip of milkshake forcefully due to laughter , but luckily and thankfully, it wasn't sprayed on nobody's face or clothes. It landed on the table. "I'm so sorry guys I didn't mean to-" you felt so embarrassed and quickly started wiping the table with paper towel. "So y/n got the joke.. that's alright, it was an accident..." woosung helped you to wipe, while the rest of the guys just said "It's fine."

"Forgot to tell you guys!! Y/n plays guitar so well! Y/n, all of them are instrumentalists" she told with an excitement. She told you the instruments that they play. "Wow nice!" you told in a surprised tone. "Maybe you guys can become good friends with her.. you can get along with her.. she's such a cheerful and talented and sweet gurl"  she said with the Italian hand gesture. You jusy smiled shyly and ran your fingers behind your ear, while tucking your hair. "Oh wow, I see.. it's so nice.. I haven't met a girl here in this campus who plays guitar!" Dojoon told while smiling widely in a surprised expression. "Stop... don't scare her... normal face please." Hajoon told him in a low tone but it was audible. "That's what people say.. they have never met a female guitarist in this campus. I won many cultural and got prizes too" you added, kinda complimenting yourself, now feeling a little comfortable with them. "Woah that's amazing..!" Jaehyeong nodded his head in vertical motion.

 "It's really nice to meet you y/n.." said Dojoon . "It's nice to meet you guys too.. she's such an amazing friend...." you began to blab, just random sentences escaping from your lips. You realized you told something out of the topic. "No.. she's not amazing, she's irritating!"  Woosung a.k.a Sammy told in a friendly way by winking at her. Just to irritate her. "Ya! be grateful to have a friend like me you brat!" she pouted. "Damn she must be close with them.. but how come i never knew about them? maybe they became close recently " you muttered, shrugging your shoulders and nodding your head slowly. 

"Everything alright y/n?" Jaehyeong asked with an open smile that revealed his teeth. He might've seen your expression and that's why he asked. "Yeah.. I'm.. eh.. alright." you answered embarassedly. "Alright guys.. time for classes .. see ya during breaktime!" Lily said while packing up her things. The boys collectively said to you "See you!" with charming smiles as they got up; all of you made your way outside the cafe. All the boys sticked along with Woosung, as his arms still swooped around her. They looked like a group and you came walking behind them. You started to feel left out. 

Jaehyeong turned behind and saw you walking alone. "Hey y/n!" he said in a short assertive tone as he joined you. You guys started talking bleh bleh bleh . You greeted your senior , Son Ye-Jin on the way and smiled widely. Jaehyeong saw this and his eyes were fixed on you for 5 seconds. You turned around and saw Jae looking at you. You just smiled at him. His eyes quickly glued to the ground. "OMG WTF" you told in your mind with a shocked and surprised emotion. You started becoming more cautious, fear started to build up in you, afraiding if you'll fall in love again. "Hey look" Dojoon signalled everyone to look behind "woahhh...woahh.." everyone of them dragged the word in a chorus version. "So... what's up y/n... someone told me they will never-" she told in a playful way but you immediately closed her mouth with your palm, widening your eyes just to signal her to be quiet. Hajoon gave a playful expression to Jae by raising his eyebrows up and down in slow pace and smirking. Hajoon seemed so quiet but he has a playful devil Inside of him. Just a friend... that's how they tease each other. How else?

WooSung swooped his palm inwards , gesturing Jae to join them as they neared their block. "Bye bye see you.." Jae told it with a shy smile, his palms gripping to the straps of his backpack. You told him the same and joined along with her. Woosung and the boys started to tickle him, tease him and playfully hit his back , teasing him by asking about what's going on between you and him.

"So y/n, ready to rock this semester with Jaehyeong?" she asked by slightly pushing your shoulder with hers. "It's not like what it is.. there's nothing" your eyes glued to the ground as your cheeks became flushed. "Shy already? I'll help you get with him, he is such a sweet guy and I promise!" she stopped you. "Ya! shut up, I don't feel a thing with him. I'm stone hearted, I'm in my reputation era" (I'm a Swiftie and this came in naturally while writing ;) ) you asserted as you rolled your eyes. "See, this is how it starts.." she laughed. You started to attend the classes. They began to bore you out. You tried to use your phone in sneaky way as gadgets are not allowed to be used during class hours. You open instagram, even the fy page is boring. You began to type in Jae's name in search bar, just to see his profile. You were kinda curious to know about him. Little did you know that she's peeking into your phone since a long time. You found his account but it was locked (private acc). You sighed in disappointment. "OH MY GOD Y/N TELL ME YOU ARE-" you quickly hushed her as her voice became loud. "NO. I found him in suggestions"

 "Don't lie . I saw you searching up his name." she proved by adding that she was peeking into your phone since the beginning of the lecture as she was bored too. You tried proving you didn't, while you did. She would say things sometimes that she wasn't supposed to be telling. She would blab things out. Now you're scared if she would blab out to Jae or other guys..

TIME SKIP….

It's break time now and you feel all lonely because Lily went to the printout centre with Woosung as she had to take printouts of her written assignment. So, you decided to just wander around, listening to songs. Suddenly Jae started to walk along with you and greeted you. " Hey hi.." He said. "Oh.. Hi.. Um-" you were too stunned to speak, you never expected him to be there. But you could tell this is feels something different. Not like how you usually hangout with the other boys. "So..what you're up to?" He interrogated curiously. "Nothing much.. I'm bored.. And Lily is not with me.." You sighed. "Gonna get green apple suckers. You wanna too?" You asked. "Yeah sure y/n"..

You guys came out of the caféteria with chilled sucker packets. "Is this your favourite flavor?" He asked curiously. You didn't answer him for a few seconds as you were checking the expiry date of it. He was waiting for your answer while his eyes were fixed on your beautiful neatly trimmed nails. "Hmmm.." You hummed while tapping over the manufacturing date. Immediately, you grabbed his packet as your eyes were trailing over finding the date. "Safe to consume!" You told him by handing over his packet back. He just giggled knowing that how careful and caring you were. "So y/n.." Jae dragged your name. "Hey where are the other boys?" You asked . "What's your favourite suckers? And which one-" he cut you off by asking "I still didn't answer to the first question.. y/n".  "Ah.. I'm sorry" you smiled embarrassedly. Your arm slightly grazed his over his arm. You didn't even realize that. He quickly spaced over a bit with a shy smile . You were casually talking with him and you can clearly tell that he began to feel nervous and you couldn't figure out why. "One more?" You asked him as both of you finished eating it. "Uh?.." He had a perplexed face. You quickly grabbed his hand and ran back to the caféteria  to buy new ones. He just ran along with you, still a perplexed yet a joy on his face. 

"Hey isn't that Jae and y/n?" Dojoon pointed out at you guys as you ran past them. Your best friend and the other boys were surprised to see. "I told you y/n..." Lily blabbed without her knowledge. "What did you say... huh?" Woosung asked her. She came back to her senses "Nothing- um.."

"Jae told me he had to visit the director of his club. But why is he running with y/n? " Hajoon was puzzled and thinking. "Did he just lie to us that he's going to the club classroom for some work when he actually wanted to meet y/n? Woah what an excuse" "I think he likes her maybe.." Woosung told . "Really? He told you?" Lily interrogated . "No . But it seems like it." Woosung answered. "Maybe ask him if he likes her. She's single anyways" she added on. "Oh.. But lemme ask him, Lily.."

They saw you guys again. But this time, you were running chasing him behind. You guys had such a bright laugh grinning ear to ear. "Caught ya!!" You grabbed him from his bag, panting. "Now I don't think he sees her as a friend" Dojoon teased. "Don't worry, whatever it is , he will let us know by tonight.." Woosung said confidently. 

DAYS PASSED BY.. NOW YOU HAD A NEW GUY FRIENDS GROUP THAT SHE INTRODUCED YOU TO, YOU BECAME MUCH MORE HAPPIER WITH JAE, BUT AS A FRIEND. THE REST OF THE BOYS STARTED TEASING YOU AND HIM, BUT WHEN THEY DID EVERYTIME, HE WOULD JUST SHY AWAY AND SAY "NO NO.. IT'S NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.." . IT'S CONFIRMED THAT HE SEES YOU ONLY AS A FRIEND. NOW EVERYONE KNOWS IN GROUP THAT YOU HAD A TERRIBLE PAST. AND JAE WOULD CONSTANTLY GIVE YOU ADVISES AND DO SOME LIGHT HEARTED JOKES. NOW THIS SEEMED LIKE HOW LILY AND WOOSUNG WERE.. SO CLOSE AND FRIENDLY AND PLAYFUL.

"Let's bunk the first class?" Your dark room was illuminated by this message from your pop screen. you started wondering.. Just an as usual casual meet up, you guys see eachother everyday and go home together. But you were thinking if you should actually bunk the first class. You thought and thought and finally agreed. 

The messages goes like..

YOU: Ok. Where?

JAE: East Arcade gaming centre behind our   college?

YOU: Okay. We'll be playing games I see.. Wanna pair up clothes?

JAE: Yeah sure sure😄 

YOU: Denim on denim. No more changes 🤫

JAE: ok ma'am🫡

YOU: I'm gonna sleep see ya tmrw

JAE: Get ready to loose!

YOU:  👋 (you meant to slap him)

JAE: Bye bye👋

YOU: I meant I'll slap you , you dumbass.

TIME SKIP..

"Heyy!" He waved at you, shouting from a distance. "Hey dumbass Denim Guy !" You ran towards him and suddenly hugged him. He didn't expect a hug from you, he stood still in shock. You were excited to spend your time. But you guys very well know that you're gonna bunk the entire day but it is just a saying for one hour. You guys rushed in as if the world was ending. You became so happy. Honestly, no guy ever made you feel this way. Happy and safe and comfortable at the same time, being yourself with your silliest jokes. You honestly had no love thoughts about him. 

Lily.. Calling

The screen popped up. "Aaaassshhhh this girl.."

"Talk to her " Jae answered while being busy with the game

YOU: Hey bro what's up?

SHE: Hey where are you? You aren't coming to class?

YOU: Maybe not.

SHE: What are you doing?

  "OHHHHHH shitttt!" You and Jae shouted in disappointment as he lost the game.

SHE: Bitch are you even listening? What happened?

YOU: Hey I'm at the arcade gaming centre with Jae. I won't be coming the whole day

 Jae's face brightened up , listening to your conversation. "Yayyy you're the best!" He squeeked and hugged your arm.

SHE: Ya! Play games later. Forgot about the 50 marks test ? It is at the last hour and the final test of our chapter. You need to attend it.

YOU: Oh fuck! I'll be there.

You hung up the phone. The last line made him gloomy

"Y/n what happened?" Jae asked as his face became dull . "l need to attend  last hour as I have an important test. But let's stay here until then" you said. "Okay!"   His face brightened up back. "Then I'll attend the last hour too.." Jae asserted. "Okayyy" you dragged on, restarting the game he lost.

You guys had so much fun and he won a bunny plushie just for you. You were so warmed up by his behaviour and how he treated you today. You guys headed to college, not willing to go as you were not in a mood to study and write a test. "Call me when the class ends.." He commanded. "Okay.. See ya!" You hugged him tightly in a playful way with a bright smile. He just grinned from ear to ear and hid his eyes with his palm , with his face downwards. He is shy and happy.

.....

"Ya whyyyy ~" you whined at Lily. "But I gotta go" she said.

"Hey , Lily " Dojoon wrapped his arms around her followed by Woosung. "Hey where's Jae?" Lily asked. "He's on the way" Hajoon spanked Woosung's butt for fun and joined them. "Hey y/n.. Coming to the digital Library?" asked Hajoon. "No.. I'm going with Jaehyeong" you said.

"But why alone? You guys can come along with us" she teased. "Hey, we are just going home." You let her knew.  

They all left.. Now you and Jaehyeong were walking alone. 

"Had a great time with you today" he said smiling. "Me too. Would've been more fun if we didn't go to classes the last hour." You said. "Ah yes yes" he said nervously. He's trying to tell you something since a long time but you think it's nothing. 

(You can listen to "LABYRINTH" by Taylor Swift and read the upcoming parts :) I personally feel that It'll give you a better experience as the lyrics give mixed emotions ! Here's the link .. )

You guys were walking across a sidewalk , very adjacent to your building. The area was dark that only the moon light illuminated your faces. You felt a hand grabbing your wrist to stop you. "What Jaehyeong?" You asked normally not knowing what he's about to do. He came closer to you, his eyes nervous, still his hands gripping your wrists. You couldn't even speak a word, he's making you so anxious. He came closer to you. He cupped your face and his palms felt so cold. You didn't push him away or hesitate. He looked into your eyes and shut his eyes slowly as his face came closer to yours. He started kissing your upper lips , slowly. You could feel a whole damn zoo in your tummy. You gripped the sides of his denim jacket. His hands gripped your hips. You both were kissing slowly and passionately, not in a wild or rough way ; not rushing like a hungry lion, but in a very soft way. Tilting heads, kissing sounds, both of your hands and his moving from cheeks to shoulders to hips,   Moving lips rhythmically slowly in love,  feeling each other's lips. Your whole body tingled every time he gently sucked out your lips. He never wanted to stop. NEITHER YOU. Both of them were so much lost in the time. 

"Oh my god Jaehyeong..." You blushed after finishing kissing. "I really love you y/n . I really do. I want you in my life. I promise I'll stay by your side and never ever leave you. You make the happiest person . I've become so happy and started to enjoy my life ever since I met you. Be my girlfriend?".

You didn't know what to say. You were too afraid to fall in love but you already fell while kissing him. Should you fall in love or not? Let go all the love and be single again? Pretend you don't love him? Maybe tell him you're not into him right away? Will you hurt his feelings? Will he stop seeing you and meeting you if you rejected him? All those questions clouded your head and you were too afraid to take a proper decision. But finally , you let go all the anxiousness and decided to trust him as you have known him for a long time and he takes good care of you too. "I love you too Jaehyeong. Please promise me you'll never leave me, never hurt me and will always stay by my side".         "I promise you. I will never. Close your Exes list as you'll no longer be having exes." He smirked. "Ayyy~ "  you blushed as you hit his chest. "I can't believe you're mine from now on.." He confessed with teary eyes while peppering kisses on both of your cheeks as he hugged you tightly. "I would feel butterflies everytime you hug me before and all.. you know ?" He asked, kissing your nose. "I knew it. You were so nervous and too stunned to speak anything..." You shy again . "Let's go home?" He asked you softly with a smile. "Yes yes..But first, Give me a last kiss" you asked. He quickly pecked your lips. You giggled and pecked him back.. Soft giggles filled the atmosphere 

"I could've bought you more plushies.. But you said you were leaving for class.." He pouted sadly..

"Surely, next time baby" you rubbed his back and made him feel alright..

Thank you so much for reading !

Wink*🕸

you was sitting in a caféteria, sipping your boba, until your eyes met someone else's. You both kept staring and admired each other's facial features, but suddenly he winked, grabbing a large cup of your attention. You still couldn't process what was he doing... He again winked, but again you didn't know what to do. In fact, you was secretly blushing unknowingly. Not getting a reply, he stood up, slowly walking towards you, making your heartbeat thump like cheetah. In no time, you stood up too and ran towards the door, immediately coming out of caféteria.

Yn: what the hell! He will see me again at school! Aah!( you groaned in annoyance)

Jungkook: Why not here?

(You turned around hearing someone, but you forgot to blink when you saw him too close to you)

He was none other than your ex

I guess its the new beginning now... I hope so.

[liamalexanderr]

MEETING SOMEONE FROM YOUR PAST always felt like being transported back in time. maya pulling him in for a hug, him getting her hair in his face, reminded him of them hanging out at the caféteria, reminded him of them running down the streets downtown, reminded him of – "i see how it is. you've finally accepted that you owe me and that you needed to open a bakery to pay off that debt." their running joke from high school still made him laugh, because it was as ridiculous as any joke shared between teens. "i'm impressed, jackson. it looks like you're doing well for yourself." he tried to pretend that he couldn't see the slight wince on her face as her voice softened. it was the typical pity he could feel vibrating from everyone around him. at least she didn't ask how he was doing. "i got back this week actually. a few ... things to tend to." his heart clenched. he wasn't sure if he was ready to talk to anyone, he was busy trying to get everything in order. but a coffee was why he was up and about. "you know the way to my heart still. can i get a scone as well ?"

At the sound of her name, Maya looked up from arranging the sample tray, her eyes widening in surprise as she recognized the voice. “Liam? Liam Reed?” she blinked a few times, trying to make sure she wasn’t seeing things. She hadn’t seen Liam since high school graduation. “Oh my gosh, it’s been forever!” 

She stepped around the table, her joy evident as she moved closer and pulled her old friend into a hug. “What am I doing here?” she echoed, holding Liam out at arm’s length. “This is my café! Welcome to Latte Love!” she gestured proudly at the storefront behind her. “I opened it last year after moving back to Blue Harbor. How long have you been in town?” she asked. Maya had heard the horrible news about Liam’s parents’ passing, so she didn’t feel the need to ask why he had returned. “Do you want to come in for a cup of coffee? It’s pretty good if I do say so myself,” she nodded her head towards the front door of the café. She paused, her eyes reflecting a mix of nostalgia and concern. “I’d love to catch up if you have time.”
