Cannabis — An Overview
Drugs... don't do them, kids! But if you find yourself in a position where you need to write about them (or just want to know), then this post a good place to get basic information about marijuana, and a solid jumping off point for more research.
Cannabis and Marijuana — Definitions
Marijuana: dried buds and leaves of Cannabis sativa plant. Anywhere between green, brown, and grey. Contains more than 400 chemicals, including delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the plant's main psychoactive chemical.
Hash: dried resin or tar of the female plant. Dark brown or black chunks, commonly sold in tinfoil packages.
Hash Oil: one of the purest forms of cannabis. Made of cannabis extract, which is a sticky, oily, reddish-brown to green substance.
Cannabis Consumption
Marijuana can be smoked in small pipes, or the more advertised variants, cigarettes called joints. It can also be baked into numerous foods. Hash is usually mixed with marijuana and/or tobacco and smoked. Hash oil is more commonly spread on the rolling paper of a joint, or the end of a lit cigarette.
How Marijuana Affects You
The effects of marijuana are shorter when smoked, from between 2–4 hours, along with the fact that they kick in faster. If eaten, the drug affects the body at a slower pace and for longer.
Marijuana affects everyone differently, and there is no way of predicting the effect of THC from person to person. The effects are dependent on the consumer's mood, environment, age, past or current medical conditions, the presence or lack of other drugs or alcohol in the system (including medication), among other things.
List of Effects
Most people
relaxed
talkative
giggly
increased appetite
distorted sense of time
short term memory impairment
Some People
self-conscious
irritable
anxious
insomnia
depression
paranoia (overly suspicious, feelings of persecution)
decrease in motivation and interest
Few People
flashbacks
delusions (false convictions held contrary to fact)
clouded mental process
impaired thinking
confusion
Young people report that chronic, or daily, use of marijuana can lead a person to experience all of these effects.
How You Get High
The active ingredient of the weed, the THC, binds to the nerve cells and releases dopamine into a part of the brain that controls learning and memory (cerebrum) and integrates the senses with emotions and motivations.
Additional Information and Final Note
Marijuana clashes badly with prescribed drugs, such as anti-depressants
In rare cases, a connection with the onset of serious mental illness such as schizophrenia has occurred
People with schizophrenia have an almost 'allergic' reaction to marijuana, and those with (certain) mental illnesses (commonly) have bad experiences with cannabis
People suffering from certain health problems, side effects of cancer/AIDS, etc. report that marijuana is helpful for controlling pain and other symptoms
This post is by no means claiming to be true for every circumstance. Everyone is different, and I'm sure people have personal stories that prove contrary to the information presented here. That's to be expected, as the effects of drugs on the humans body depend on many variables and are highly unpredictable.
With that said, if anything is wrong, please let me know immediately and keep in mind that my information is directly from Interior Health BC, which has a cannabis fact-sheet compilation that I'll link here.
I hope this helped anyone who needed it, and informed the rest of you. Stay safe :)

Latest for The LA Times
You’re making history today. You’re at the first State Fair in the world where cannabis is being legally sold.”
Last month, the California State Fair announced plans to allow cannabis to be sold and consumed on-site for the first time in its 170-year history.
“Welcome to 4:20 for the first time legally at the fair!” someone yelled into the microphone. “Light ’em up!” Everyone in the tent obliged, inhaling deeply and then exhaling one very large — and now very legal — communal cloud of smoke into the air. (Adam Tschorn)

Before weed was legalized here, we used to have an ice cream truck that drove around playing the imperial march from star wars in the wrong key. 100% it was selling weed and pills
See, that just sounds fun. lmao
We have people that dress up as Darth Vader and Stormtroopers and I see them in like... every parade, it feels like. I see them at Pride. I see them at the Fourth of July parade. I don't know why they're there, but I'm always happy to see them.
I feel like I'd feel that way about a weird ice cream truck that plays the imperial march and sells weed. I don't know why they're there, but I'm always happy to see them. lmao
#replies#tbh that's a business idea right there lmao#the ID part might be difficult but#are we truly a free country until we have a combination ice cream/weed truck#I spend a few months a year in Mendocino County so I'm picky about my cannabis consumption now#but I bet you could get banger weed from some bougie hipster weed/ice cream truck in california

Earlier this week, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sent cease-and-desist letters to several companies warning them that their products, which were marketed to mimic popular children’s snacks, ran the risk of unintended consumption of the Delta-8 THC by children. In addition to the FDA’s concerns regarding marketing an unsafe food additive, the agencies…

Germany to legalize Cannabis for personal use

Health Minister Karl Lauterbach announced at a news conference in Berlin that the new legislation at a press conference in Berlin.

Those aged 18 and older will be allowed to possess up to 25 grams of cannabis under the government’s blueprint.
Self-cultivation of up to three plants for personal consumption will also be permitted.
Cannabis will be allowed to be grown and distributed by non-profit associations with a maximum of 500 members.

As they should @lacannabisnews ・・・ "The #Swiss #government has approved plans to #legalize the #sale and #consumption of #cannabis in #Zurich in a trial designed to assess the #social and #economic #benefits of regulating the drug. From this #summer, a test group of 2,100 Zurich #residents will be permitted to buy regulated #doses of the drug for personal use from #pharmacies, special #dispensaries and #socialclubs across the city. Participants will be expected to answer a questionnaire every six months on their consumption habits and health effects as part of the #study, which is conducted in collaboration with the #University of Zurich. The trial ultimately aims to determine the conditions under which weed legalization in Switzerland can be compatible with “promoting individual and public #health and #safety,” the study leaders said. Evidence from the trial is to be published on a rolling basis from next year." @cnbc (at Zürich, Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqaDLP_OaWj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

18+ mdni.
pairing: bully!jake x fem!reader
warnings: noncon, physical violence, degradation, umm jake's a big meanie, implied drugs consumption.
based on this ask <3
.
jake is being his usual self as always, having his little fun with you. there’s no enjoyment in this for you, of course, but for him… it’s surely his favourite part of the day.
cornering you between lockers, making you step back until your back hit the walls. at that point, your breath is caught in your throat, limbs starting to shake at the anticipation of what he’s going to do.
it’s never gentle, always exhausting, always painful. but he doesn’t care, he likes it. gets off to it.
he tugs on your arm, swinging your body forward, making you stumble to the ground. you always hiss, sometimes squeak, tears almost immediately appearing in your eyes. he’s mean, ruthless, and he doesn’t want to stop. he never will, you think.
he watches you struggle for a second, a wicked smile on his face, his cock hardening in his pants. then he reaches down, pulling you up on your feet.
“come on,” he insists, “don’t stay on the ground like a lazy fuck.”
jake’s bruising grip on your bicep makes you wince, feeling your bones cracking, your knees aching. it reminds you of when you once fell to the ground in elementary school, landing on your knees and hands, and your skin had been scraped from the concrete.
today, it’s just as bad, maybe even more painful, especially to your heart.
you glance at him before averting your gaze, looking away from him. he grins, taking a look at your bare knees, skirt wrinkled and dusty. “those poor little knees,” jake coos, lifting his eyes up to your flaming face. “i’m rough on them, aren’t i?”
you blink the tears away from your waterline, rolling down your cheeks in small droplets. his hold tightens, his grin fading into a downward smile. “aren’t i?” he repeats, voice stern and impatient.
you nod your head quickly and he lets out a scoff. you let out a high-pitched gasp when you’re pushed against a locker, your shoulder hitting it first with a loud, resonating thud.
he follows you, closing the distance in long steps. “well, that’s the fucking point.” he grits his teeth, slipping his fingers through your hair, clenching into a fist and pulling your head back. his breath smells like weed, clothes reeking from it, making you wrinkle your nose.
“you know what i heard today?” he changes subject, arching a brow. he doesn’t wait for your answer, opening his mouth again. “apparently, people think we’re dating,” he laughs, “i mean, it makes sense, i guess. why else would i isolate myself with you? hm?” jake shrugs, a smile tugging on his lips.
his free hand goes down to your thigh, pinching the flesh between his thumb and forefinger. “that’s funny, though, that they think i’d fuck you. there’s nothing desirable about you, not even that dirty little cunt of yours—even though i bet it’s fucking tight.”
his hand subtly slips under the hem of your skirt, now pinching the skin there until his short nails sink into it. you moan in pain, flinching away.
voices in the hallway make jake’s eyes shoot up, eyebrows frowned as he analyses the sounds. he looks back down at you, pushing his tongue against his inner cheek, momentarily thinking.
for once, you lock eyes with him, silently hoping it’s the time for him to leave you alone for today, but your stomach drops down when jake decides to drag you to the nearest restroom.
you find yourself in an empty stall, the walls shaking as jake slams his hips into yours, straining your walls wide around his cock. you muffle your own moans as you keep your mouth closed, your eyes glossy and shiny, face sticky and wet by your tears.
your hands tightly hold onto his jacket, an action that first served as an attempt to push him away, but remained as he didn’t budge an inch. the smell of cannabis now feels stronger as his body is so close to yours like it never has been, reminding you of how you just don’t like jake— of how his presence is enough to repulse you.

Puff Puff Pass the Wisdom On… Tips for the Youngins from a Stoner Parent
We know you’re doing it. We’ve been doing it since before you were an itch in your daddy’s pants. Oh, and we know all about hiding it. We’re a generation programmed to hide everything but the house keys. Fuck, we’re still hiding from you. But if you’re hiding from us, well, you’re basically already busted. Newsflash: Stoner parents have weedar. We don’t just have a nose for it. We know the signs; we know the spots and we know what’s suss.
Need some pro tips on staying undercover? Take ‘em from us.
Ditch the Fabreze
Masking the smell of your stash with sprays, candles or any other stupid scent is the first sign of a bad cover-up.
Also, flavoured vapes – forget it! The first whiff of that sweet foreign fragrance is telltale kids.
Don’t b-line to the bathroom
We know you’re washing up after a sesh and we’re already onto you.
Instead, walk in with a friendly hello, walk toward us, then stop a bit short to avoid osmosis (at least 4 feet). The key is to act natural – this always throws us off.
Smoking outside in the cold is a tricky one
Facts. Smoking in the cold makes your smell extra extra when you come inside (like from a mile away). If you need to know why, google it!
Smoking in the car is an even trickier one
Firstly, don’t smoke and drive. But in the case that you’ve left a lingering smell of pot or smoke in the car, nothing beats a drop or two of gasoline on floor to clear that right up. If it’s someone else’s car, make sure to fill up a bit before returning, then mention you spilled some gas on your shoes…
Deny Deny Deny
There’s an art to this one. When you’ve been caught red handed, the best denial does not include gaslighting tactics like, “I don’t know what that is” or cliché excuses like, “I’m holding it for a friend.” You’ve been caught, but you haven’t been busted. Go for the heartstrings with something like, “I was planning on trying it for the first-time last weekend, but I chickened out,” or “I tried it and I didn’t like it, but I didn’t know what to do with it.” We’ll feel for you, I promise. Fake news works well here.
Hide with care
Smell-free containers are not for the faint of fine-motor-skills, but they are the best way to keep your stash concealed from prying eyes and noses. They’re also relatively parent-proof, since the majority of stoner parents are still buying black market and don’t have the patience to figure out how to unseal Gestapo packaging.
Bust your parents before they bust you
Nobody is more taken down by being busted than the “hiding generation.” Those are us parents born between 1969 and 1980. But once we’re outed, you can pave the way to a much more balanced parent-child stoner relationship.

gummies and giggles // alexia putellas
a/n : i can’t imagine alexia putting up with a high person, but oh well.
warnings : cannabis consumption, fluff.
The Airbnb was charming, just as Alexia had promised. Nestled beside one of Amsterdam’s quiet canals, the house had tall windows that flooded the space with soft light, a cozy living room with fluffy blankets, and a kitchen that Mapi claimed was “too nice not to mess around in.” For Alexia, it was perfect—clean, organized, and peaceful.
For you and Mapi, it was the perfect place to cause trouble.
It all started innocently enough. Mapi had brought up the idea after lunch while Alexia was preoccupied with a book and Ingrid was scrolling on her phone. You were sprawled on the floor near the couch, making exaggerated sighs about being “bored out of your mind.”
“Amsterdam is the city of adventure, no?” Mapi grinned, her voice low as she nudged you with her foot.
“What kind of adventure?” you asked, perking up immediately.
Mapi reached into her jacket pocket and pulled out a small plastic baggie, shaking it slightly to reveal the colorful gummies inside. “Just one each,” she whispered conspiratorially. “We’ll have a little fun.”
You blinked, leaning in closer. “What is that?”
“Edibles,” she replied as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
You squinted at the bag, skeptical but intrigued. “Is this a good idea? Ale will kill me.”
Mapi grinned mischievously. “When have I ever steered you wrong?”
You paused. “Well, there was that time you convinced me to jump into a freezing lake because ‘it looked fun.’”
Mapi rolled her eyes. “This will be better. Trust me.”
She held one gummy out, and after a brief moment of hesitation, you took it. “Just one?”
“Just one,” Mapi assured you, popping her own into her mouth and chewing thoughtfully.
———————
Two hours later, it became abundantly clear that you were not fine.
You were curled up on the Airbnb’s soft rug, giggling at absolutely nothing while Mapi sat on the couch, completely mesmerized by the way the light reflected off a glass of water on the coffee table.
Alexia had been in the shower, blissfully unaware, but when she stepped back into the living room and saw the scene before her, she froze.
“What the fucks is going on here?”
Ingrid, who had only just come out of the bedroom after a nap, groaned loudly as she took one look at you and Mapi. “Are you two serious?”
“Hi, Ale,” you said brightly, turning your head toward her. Your face was flushed, eyes glassy, and you were grinning like you’d just heard the funniest joke of your life.
“Don’t ‘Hi, Ale’ me,” Alexia replied, crouching down beside you. “What did you do?”
You squinted up at her like she’d asked the hardest question in the world. “I had a gummy. It was so tiny, Ale. Like…” You held your fingers close together, demonstrating its smallness.
Alexia stared at you, her expression flat. “You took an edible? Are you serious?”
“Mapi said it would be fun,” you replied innocently, smiling as you leaned toward her. “And I am having fun.”
Alexia turned sharply toward Mapi, who was still staring at the glass of water like it held the answers to the universe. “And you?”
Mapi looked up slowly, blinking at Alexia like she’d forgotten she was even there. “Did you know… water is just really tiny pieces of ocean?”
Ingrid smacked her hand against her forehead. “Oh my God.”
Alexia ran a hand through her hair, clearly trying to keep her patience intact. “You two are ridiculous.”
You tugged at Alexia’s sleeve, looking up at her with your big pleading eyes. “Don’t be mad at me.”
Alexia sighed deeply as she sat down on the floor beside you. You immediately crawled into her lap, nuzzling your face against her shoulder.
“I’m not mad,” she muttered, though she clearly wasn’t thrilled. “I just don’t understand how you thought this was a good idea.”
“You’re warm,” you mumbled, ignoring her frustration entirely as you melted against her. “And you smell really good. Did I ever tell you how pretty you are?”
Alexia raised an eyebrow, though her hand had already instinctively begun rubbing circles on your back. “Are you always this clingy when you’re high?”
“I don’t know,” you replied honestly, tilting your head up to smile at her. “But you’re warm and soft and perfect and… can I kiss you?”
“What?” Alexia spluttered, her cheeks tinged pink.
Ingrid’s head snapped up, glaring at Mapi. “Do you see what you’ve done?”
Mapi just giggled. “She’s in love. Let her love.”
—————
It wasn’t long before the munchies hit.
“Alexia,” you whispered, still nestled in her lap like you had no intention of leaving.
“Yes?”
“I’m starving.”
“You ate lunch two hours ago.”
“But now I’m hungry,” you whined, pouting up at her. “I need something sweet.”
Alexia sighed heavily as she helped you sit up. “What do you want?”
Your face lit up. “A waffle.”
��A waffle?”
“Yes. A big one. With syrup.”
Alexia gave you a look that clearly said she was done with you, but she still got up and made her way into the kitchen. “You’re so lucky I love you,” she muttered under her breath.
When Alexia returned with the waffle—golden, steaming, and drizzled with syrup—you looked at it like it was the most beautiful thing you’d ever seen.
“Oh my God,” you whispered, carefully taking the plate from her hands. “You’re an absolute angel, Ale.”
She sat down beside you, watching as you took your first bite. The moment the syrup hit your tongue, you let out a moan. soft, drawn-out, pornorgraphic, and very not appropriate for a waffle.
Alexia blinked. “Did you just sex moan over a waffle?”
You paused mid-chew, eyes wide, before you dissolved into giggles. “Noooo,” you managed, grinning as you stuffed another bite into your mouth.
“Yes, you did,” Alexia replied, shaking her head in disbelief. “You’re unbelievable woman.”
“It’s just a really good waffle,” you said, swallowing the bite and leaning into her side. “You need to try it.”
Before she could reply, you kissed her cheek, leaving a faint trace of syrup behind.
Alexia groaned, wiping at her cheek as she muttered, “You’re a mess.”
“I’m your mess,” you replied sweetly, wrapping your arms around her waist and pulling her closer.
She sighed, though there was no real annoyance behind it as she pressed a kiss to your temple. “You’re lucky you’re cute.”
From across the room, Ingrid sighed loudly as Mapi whispered something about the light being “a little rainbow on the glass.”
“We are never doing this again,” Ingrid muttered.
Mapi, still blissfully mesmerized, giggled softly. “Never say never.”
Alexia looked down at you, now curled up in her lap, half-asleep with a satisfied smile on your face.
She shook her head with a small, fond smile. “What am I going to do with you?”
You hummed softly, snuggling closer. “Keep me forever.”
And even as chaos reigned around her, Alexia couldn’t imagine ever letting you go.

The Best News of Last Week
1. A branch of the flu family tree has died and won't be included in future US vaccines
A type of flu virus that used to sicken people every year hasn't been spotted anywhere on Earth since March 2020. As such, experts have advised that the apparently extinct viruses be removed from next year's flu vaccines.
The now-extinct viruses were a branch of the influenza B family tree known as the Yamagata lineage. Scientists first reported the apparent disappearance of Yamagata viruses in 2021.
2. Hospitals must obtain written consent for pelvic and similar exams, the federal government says
Hospitals must obtain written informed consent from patients before subjecting them to pelvic exams and exams of other sensitive areas — especially if an exam will be done while the patient is unconscious, the federal government said Monday.
New guidance from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services now requires consent for breast, pelvic, prostate and rectal exams for “educational and training purposes” performed by medical students, nurse practitioners or physician assistants.
3. Germany approves new law that will allow adults to carry up to 25 grams of cannabis for their own consumption and store up to 50 grams at home.
Germany's upper house, the Bundesrat, cleared the way to partially legalize cannabis on Friday. Adults aged 18 and over will be allowed to carry up to 25 grams of cannabis for their own consumption.
4. Tick-killing pill shows promising results in human trial | Should it pan out, the pill would be a new weapon against Lyme disease.
Tarsus Pharmaceuticals is developing a pill for humans that could provide protection against the tick-borne disease for several weeks at a time. In February, the Irvine, California–based biotech company announced results from a small, early-stage trial showing that 24 hours after taking the drug, it can kill ticks on people, with the effects lasting for up to 30 days.
5. Thailand moves to legalise same-sex marriage
Thailand has taken a historic step closer to marriage equality after the lower house passed a bill giving legal recognition to same-sex marriage.
It still needs approval from the Senate and royal endorsement to become law but it is widely expected to happen by the end of 2024, making Thailand the only South East Asian country to recognise same-sex unions.
6. French Revolution: Cyclists Now Outnumber Motorists In Paris
Official measurements have found that Paris is rapidly becoming a city of transportation cyclists. In the suburbs, where public transit is less dense, transport by car was found to be the main form of mobility. But for journeys from the outskirts of Paris to the center, the number of cyclists now far exceeds the number of motorists, a huge change from just five years ago.
7. 'Miracle' operation reverses blindness in three-year-old girl giving her 'promising' future
A three year old with a genetic condition that causes blindness is doing incredibly well after unique pioneering operation to restore her sight.
The UK is the only country performing keyhole eye surgery to inject healthy copies of a gene into sufferers’ eyes. It is being used to reverse blindness in children born with a rare condition which means they can only distinguish between light and dark. And it has given little Khadijah Chaudhry, born with Leber congenital amaurosis-4, a chance at seeing properly again.

the hills. — kim minjeong x reader.
"when i'm fucked up, that's the real me."
sypnosis ⸝⸝⸝ park y/n has always hated minjeong, and the feeling has always mutual. growing up as rivals, it only made sense for their rivalry to carry on with them to college. but when minjeong became student council president she devloped a knack for using that power over y/n, causing for the line in between love and hate to blur.
pairing ⸝⸝⸝ enemies to lovers, stuco president!minjeong x campus player!reader
warnings ⸝⸝⸝ profanity, suggestive, alcohol & cannabis consumption, cheating, y/n is lowk big mad, minjeong is down bad
note ⸝⸝⸝ HAPPY (belated) BIRTHDAY TO ME AND MINJEONGGG 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 and happy new year too!!! idk how i feel about this fic, it’s kinda out of my comfort zone (also its so late rn, i took WAYYY too long to post this)
word count: 4.4k
if there was one thing that every college student looked forward to during midterms, it was the month long break. whether they spend it sleeping, partying, or with their loved ones, it was always the fuel of their excitement.
this had even been the case for park y/n, an extremely popular student yonsei university. the popularity wasn’t due to her looks & lovable bold personality, but she was also park sunghoon’s little sister. sunghoon was notorius for his ability to ice skate, entracing everyone who watched him dance across the ice almost insantly.
y/n went viral after being spotted giving her brother a pep talk before a big performance, resulting in praise for her demeanor and refreshing visuals.
this event lead to her current boyfriend at the time, kim sunwoo, who was one of the most popular campus crushes. he was known for throwing the craziest parties, especially during the breaks.
even though y/n is well-known for breaking hearts and then moving onto the next person she deems worthy, sunwoo didn’t seem to mind this at all. he was happily enjoying his 15 minutes of fame. and in his mind, they were the hottest couple the university had laid their eyes upon.
this hadn’t been the case for student council president kim minjeong, who was currently eyeing the said girl with disdain. the annoyance was practically radiating off of her at this point.
minjeong wasn’t the typical president, though. while she exuded the punk and rock aesthetic perfectly, she was extremely nice to everyone. some would even describe her as shy, but everyone could tell that she genuinely cared for the students. with the way she coordinated all the activities, advocated for the students’ needs and concerns, and represented the entire studdent body. her leadership and communication skills were out of this world.
that was with everyone except for park y/n.
they had been enemies — or more so rivals, for years now. it started in elementary school, where they used to be table partners.
their table was pretty far in the back, so the teacher would always reach them last.
on the very first day when the teacher handed out colored construction paper, minjeong took the last blue colored one. the one that y/n had been waiting so patiently for.
that wasn’t the worst part about it all. she even left a friendly comment for her so-called table partner.
“i’m smarter, so i get it instead of you!” she chirped.
y/n smacked her gum angrily, crossing her arms as the teacher scolded minjeong.
“you’re a big fat liar!” y/n spat back, resulting in a loss of two class dojo points.
“park y/n! give me your gum, now.” the teacher scolded, and y/n immediately obeyed.
two more class dojo points that she needed for her favorite candy — the big blow pops with gum inside.
she could still remember the event as clear as water to this day.
and everytime she does, she reminds herself that she is indeed better than minjeong, and she wouldn’t let that anger consume her. it wouldn’t have been possible to beat minjeong in every spelling bee if the girl was better than her.
minjeong and y/n used to compete in the spelling bee every year during middle school, and they would always be the final two left standing.
but minjeong could never beat y/n. and the smile that y/n would give everyone once she got the award was worth losing.
and the time in high school where —
“are you even listening?” minjeong quirked a brow, patience running thin. her teeth grazed against the piercings that looped around her bottom lip. the piercings that made minjeong look ten times hotter.
y/n hated those.
“yeah, whatever. i, park y/n, swear to improve my behavior over the break. can i go now?” the blonde-haired girl shook her head in disappointment.
“today isn’t the day to be testing my patience.” even if there was any real threat behind the warning, y/n didn’t care. she rolled her eyes before standing up from the chair, smacking her gum to take it a step further as usual. she always knew exactly how to push minjeong’s buttons.
“just get out.” minjeong ordered before holding out the palm of her hand, tilting her head as her eyes zeroed in on her rival’s lips.
a reluctant y/n spat out her gum with crossed arms, huffing quietly. this wasn’t uncommon for the two, and y/n was never truly bugged by the action. she only feigned annoyance so that minjeong had a reason to do it more often.
and she definitely did.
“ugh! i can’t stand minjeong!” y/n complained in the canteen, fixing her lip combo as sunwoo held up the phone camera for her.
sunwoo was currently seated with y/n and her friends, listening to his girlfriend rant on and on about their student council president. this wasn’t a new topic for him.
yuqi was absent this time — she had probably been lip locking in a hallway with her boyfriend, waiting to get caught.
“is there something i should know about her?” aeri raised an eyebrow. “she’s my r—“
“mm-mm. just let her finish, aeri.” sunwoo cut her off, waving his hand side to side in the air. aeri could only shrug in response.
“i swear she does it on purpose too… she never reports anyone as much as she reports you.” ningning chimed in, sipping from the lilac stanley cup that sat on the table.
“exactly! urgh, like she’s so infuriating!” her boyfriend, who was more of a decoration, watched y/n work her magic, amazed by how pretty she was. “i swear we’ve memorized each other’s schedule.” aeri’s face contorted into one of confusion.
“maybe she wants to be your friend.” sunwoo shrugged, resulting in y/n giving him her signature eye roll.
“be my friend? baby, come on now…” she had looked up at him for a moment, sighing quietly before passing her attention to aeri instead. “babes! you should totally come to sunwoo’s party tonight.“
aeri was the newest addition to y/n, yuqi, and ningning’s interchangable clique.
while the three of them stuck together like glue, it was never the same case for the fourth person.
but they had high hopes for aeri.
“i wouldn’t miss it, y/n. anything in particular i need to wear?” she questioned.
“just come to y/n’s house. she’ll get you all fixed up.” ningning’s smile widened, twirling a strand of aeri’s hair. and if anyone was paying enough attention, they could see the faint blush appearing onto the pink-haired girl’s cheeks.
“yuqi had designer dresses made for all of us! today’s your lucky day, because we have a fourth.” y/n smirked, stuffing her makeup into sunwoo’s hands.
the boy hurriedly but carefully put everything back into her purse, along with the pink iphone 16 he knew she loved so much.
“it was originally meant for yujin.” ningning explained, sipping from her stanley as they all stood up. “before she went… rogue.” her voice dropped an octave on the word ‘rogue.’ aeri believed that she understood what that meant — yujin had made friends with minjeong and the rest of the student council.
“but it’s okay, because you’re totally prettier.” y/n giggled before grabbing aeri’s arm and walking off, ningning following close behind.
sunwoo dropped his girlfriend’s phone just as they walked off, picking it up and wiping it off with his hands. “y/n, wait!”
“yuqi, we look like cheap fucking whores. i thought you said this was designer?” y/n complained over the music after they arrived fashionably late to sunwoo’s christmas party.
there were already tons of people there. people that y/n could recognize and some that she couldn’t. some were dressed appropriately for the occasion, and some were in casual clothing.
they all had something in common though — hazy clouds filled the air, and the scent of alcohol boomed throughout the whole building. clearly whoever the dj was didn’t give a fuck about christmas, and that was obvious enough with the way rihanna blasted through all of the speakers.
“this is designer! feel the material.” yuqi retaliated, caressing the faux fur that stuck out of the top and bottom of the red minidress. the belt that defined their waists brought it all together.
aeri shrugged, being pulled closer by ningning. “it’s not too bad.”
their dresses were topped off with a matching santa hat, as well as black gloves and boots.
y/n crossed her arms, poking her hip out as she scanned the crowd. they had noticed their arrival now, earning the attention from a select number of the partygoers. she sighed, knowing that she couldn’t leave early because she rode with yuqi.
unless she were to leave with someone else tonight.
“damn, baby. you look good.” sunwoo sauntered over with his red cup in hand, smelling like a mixture of weed and his signature cologne as he leaned down to press a gentle kiss against y/n’s lips.
he was dressed up as an elf. santa and the elf, how fitting for the couple.
“we look no different than the cup in your hand right now.” she pushed him away, furrowing her eyebrows.
“you look good in everything, though.” he pulled her close once more, planting open mouthed kisses to her neck.
“where’s the weed?” y/n subtly pried him off of her neck, clearing her throat. “this is a party, right?” she tilted her head, eyes burning into his.
“just come this way, baby.” and with that, he maneuvered his way through the crowd, being extremely easy to lose due to the dim and multicolored lighting and the way his green outfit looked underneath it.
the group had a bit of trouble following behind. all different types of people were around with their train of thought altered. high, drunk, both. sober.
they staggered into the kitchen, watching sunwoo open the door to a room just some feet away from them. “he went in there.” yuqi pointed out.
“hey! fucking watch it!” y/n shoved a random person after seeing them bump into aeri, who was being pulled close to ningning’s side once more.
the girl turned around, and y/n validated her own anger once she saw the girl’s face. it was ahn yujin.
yuqi stepped in front of aeri and ningning before gasping comically.
“hey! she didn’t even touch her.” a tall girl that had long brown hair spoke up for yujin with an alert expression painting her features. her name was wonyoung or something? whatever. y/n didn’t care.
“bitch, don’t lie! i saw it!” yuqi raised her voice, and wonyoung gave her a look of annoyance. this made both yuqi and y/n’s temper flare up.
y/n moved in closer to give them both a piece of her mind, but she was stopped by the familiar voice that she could recognize over any symphony.
kim minjeong’s.
“yujin? wony? what’s going on?…” the blonde haired girl was accompanied by the vice president of the student council, yu jimin.
jimin had two drinks in her hand, and yujin scurried out of sight. wonyoung was quick to give the two girls an apologetic look before following.
minjeong’s breath stopped as her eyes met y/n’s, studying the girl’s attire whilst her tongue played with her lip piercings. it was like her expression did a whole one-eighty. taken over completely by anger and something else that y/n couldn’t name.
y/n hated it.
“minjeong, huh?” she let out a laugh that was annoying to minjeong’s ears. “didn’t expect to see you here.”
it’s not that minjeong wasn’t expecting to run into y/n. this was her boyfriend’s party.
after all, y/n was the reason why she left the house tonight.
“this doesn’t look like improving your behavior.” her hand waved around y/n’s figure, arms crossed in her leather jacket. her shirt was short enough that her abs were on display.
y/n hated that.
“you aren’t innocent either, president.” y/n motioned to the red cup that was in jimin’s hand.
jimin laughed awkwardly, opening her mouth to de-escalate the situation.
“i earned this, don’t you think? for being valedictorian this semester.” minjeong spoke in a condescending manner, inching closer to y/n. the way she could see y/n’s eye twitch was the icing on the cake, smirk dancing onto her lips.
and y/n fucking hated it.
“you’re not better than me at everything, minjeong.” her words were laced with venom, even though the person in front of her was the snake.
“i’m sorry? name it.” minjeong chuckled, shoving jimin’s hand that came onto her shoulder.
“if you really wanna hear the answer, come smoke with us. i spent too much time on you.” y/n crossed her arms, smacking her gum.
minjeong was slightly taken aback, and jimin noticed this.
“hey, minjeong… we can—“
“lead the way, y/n.”
jimin’s face fell. how far was minjeong willing to go just to prove y/n wrong? her friends were in need of her help right now.
“hurry up! yuqi said sunwoo went this way.” aeri grabbed ningning’s arm, guiding her through the ocean of people as the rest of them followed, leaving jimin there alone.
“president finally letting loose, huh?” yuqi’s boyfriend, juyeon vocalized in an intrigued tone while sparking up both the blunt and the conversation. the group shared laughter of their own.
yuqi was cuddled close next to him, with aeri and ningning exactly to her left.
y/n was seated in between sunwoo and minjeong, while jake sat next to sunwoo. they were having their own conversation that y/n couldn’t care less about.
as the blunt started it’s rotation, the topic of conversation started to get lost. random thoughts were being talked about now. minjeong swore that she could hear juyeon lighting another blunt.
once it y/n passed it to minjeong, all eyes were on her.
“just do it.” y/n laughed at the worry plastered on the girl’s face.
“or are you a pussy, kim minjeong?”
that was all it took for minjeong to take a hit. a big one, too.
she blew out the smoke and immediately went into a coughing fit, sunwoo rushing to get the girl some water.
y/n felt jealousy coursing through her veins over this. but she wasn’t feeling jealous of minjeong.
“hey.” y/n stood up, elbowing sunwoo away from the blonde haired girl. she pat her back, taking the water bottle and waiting patiently for the coughing to come to an end.
once it did, minjeong tilted her head back so y/n could pour the water into her mouth. yet neither of them broke eye contact.
had aeri seen that right? because it looked like y/n pushed sunwoo away just to help minjeong. purposely.
but if sunwoo didn’t find anything wrong, she didn’t find a reason to, either.
all it took was a few minutes for the whole group to be completely faded. yuqi and her boyfriend left the room a while ago, and ningning excused herself to the bathroom. aeri followed to make sure the girl was okay.
this left jake, sunwoo, y/n, and minjeong. jake had the blunt, and he was laughing after y/n politely asked for a game of truth or dare.
“i might admit something i’ll regret later.” he shook his head, eyeing y/n considerably. this didn’t go unnoticed by sunwoo or minjeong.
she nudged y/n’s shoulder, leaning in to speak quietly once she had acquired her attention.
“the fuck does that mean, jaeyun?” sunwoo barked, sitting up slightly.
jake raised his hands, shaking his head as he yielded.
“still haven’t told me what you’re better at.” the president whispered, and the corners of y/n’s lips went upward.
“come here.” y/n grabbed minjeong’s hand as they stood up, sneaking out from the room that was full of hazy clouds.
sunwoo clicked his tongue, leaning back onto the couch as he looked over at his friend. “you gonna keep babysitting or what?”
“my bad. would hate to ruin y/n’s night.” his voice was lower now, and he handed the blunt to sunwoo, who was obviously upset.
sunwoo took a hit while shaking his head, turning his head to talk to his girlfriend.
“you good y/n—“
“the fuck? where’d they go?” he asked, coughing as he took the blunt from between his lips.
jake shrugged, and sunwoo left him alone in the room to start his search for y/n and minjeong.
“he took the blunt.” jake lifted his arms up dramatically.
y/n and minjeong were in the corner of the kitchen, and y/n smirked as she settled onto the side of the table parallel to her rival.
random people were watching as they began their game of beer pong.
“if minjeong wins, i’ll sleep with chaewon tonight.” a classmate named yunjin spoke out.
y/n started the game, easily taking the lead with two cups to zero.
“seriously? you can drink better than me? everyone knows that, y/n.” minjeong spat out once she kept losing. there were ten cups and y/n had already scored four, while she was at zero.
“hey, now. you know what they say. if you’re not drinking, you’re not playing.” y/n teased.
minjeong huffed, realizing that people were recording now. a light flush painted her cheeks. she didn’t want to seem like a total loser, at least.
she played with the piercings on her lip, finally landing the ping pong ball into one of the cups.
y/n couldn’t focus on anything else after seeing minjeong tease the lip rings, slowly losing her lead.
and after two more, the crowd began to ramp up. they were surrounded by red cups and camera flashes.
“yo, the president is about to beat y/n in beer pong!” some guy yelled out, and y/n furrowed her eyebrows. that’s not what she wanted to be remembered at this party for.
then suddenly, the crowd exchanged gasps as all of the cameras were suddenly pointed at y/n.
jimin had splashed a drink onto y/n’s dress, the liquid coating almost the entire top half of it.
and while y/n was enraged, minjeong found it the hottest sight laid upon her eyes. ever.
“minjeong! the fuck are you doing! people are recording!” jimin scolded her, grabbing her arm to drag her out of the party.
minjeong was crossfaded — she didn’t care. she hadn’t even zoned back in all the way yet.
“this is designer, you whore! it costs more than your whole life!” y/n yelled, and the room had gone quiet.
“you bitches post this anywhere and i’ll kill you.” she threatened the crowd, stomping off to the bathroom.
finally coming back to her senses, the blonde-haired girl spoke up. “jimin, what the hell?” minjeong pushed the vice president off of her shoulder, running after the girl she claimed to be the bane of her existence.
“what the fuck just happened?” a troubled sunwoo asked the crowd that had quickly dispersed and continued on with their previous activities.
a few had sobered up, but the rest replaced their tasks with getting wasted.
“i don’t know. chaewon ain’t getting laid tonight though.” ryujin commented, pouring a drink for yeji.
y/n found herself in some random bathroom, wiping frantically at the stain and trail of drink mixture trickling down her cleavage.
she groaned loudly, grabbing more paper towels when she heard the door open and close. it was no one other than kim minjeong.
she even heard the lock click.
the fucking audacity, y/n thought.
“y/n—“
“get the fuck out, minjeong!” she yelled out, words coming out slower than intended.
“let me help you—“ y/n pushed her away, chest heaving with anger as minjeong stumbled back into the door, leaning against it.
“this is all your fault, kim minjeong. she wouldn’t have spilled that drink on me if it wasn’t for you.” y/n yelled, pointing her finger at the girl. “it’s always your fucking fault!”
her words were slurred, but minjeong thought it was the hottest thing ever. had she ever gotten turned on from a girl yelling at her before?
“w-what jimin did isn’t—“
“shut up!” she moved closer to the blonde haired girl, and she didn’t even try to hide the fact that she was looking straight at her chest.
y/n couldn’t help but notice this, and it made her heartbeat accelerate. “you know what? my whole mood is ruined. just… just shut the fuck up.”
minjeong fiddled with the piercings on her lip. she didn’t want to shut up.
“let me take you home.”
“while you’re drunk? no. this is why you just need to shut up.” y/n scoffed, making minjeong want to try even harder.
“then let me pay for your uber.” minjeong spoke up again.
“what do you not understand about shutting the fuck up?“
“please, y/n?” she breathed out, pushing off of the door to hold herself up on the edge of the sink. “i’ll make sure you get home safe.”
y/n looked at the other from over her shoulder, imaging how it would feel to have her lips against her own.
“okay.” the conversation ended there and the room went silent. only for a while though.
“does sunwoo do that?”
y/n’s breath hitched, and she swallowed harshly. “do what?” she whispered back, skin ablaze with the amount of fire that was burning in minjeong’s eyes.
this was the moment that they realized they both wanted each other this whole time. the way that minjeong slammed their lips together proved it.
it didn’t take long for y/n to get into the feel of the kiss, lips dancing together in a rhythmic manner as y/n pushed her back against the door.
y/n smiled into the kiss as she finally fulfilled her dream of finding out how those piercings would feel at her lips, and it had her craving more.
the president let out a quiet moan as her rival’s tongue slithered into her own mouth, cheeks flushing as she lost herself in the sensation of their heated kiss.
“y-y/n...” she breathed out, and y/n pulled back to witness the sight.
minjeong was so cute.
“this isn’t the student council president i know.” y/n smirked, challenging the girl as she connected their lips once more.
they were drowning so deep into each other that they didn’t even notice that someone was knocking at the door.
“y/n? y/n, you in here?” sunwoo called out, twisting the doorknob.
oh fuck. y/n’s stomach dropped.
minjeong took this opportunity to switch them around, trapping y/n against the door as she attacked her neck with desperate kisses.
y/n didn’t know what to do. should she stay silent?
surely sunwoo had heard the noise of her colliding with the door.
should she just pretend that they were some random couple making out?
minjeong had gotten touchy, shakily gripping y/ns waist as she marked her as her territory.
sunwoo was persistent — knocking again as he continued to call out for y/n. does this guy ever give up?
just as she heard another guy approach the door, minjeong bit down on the sweet spot of y/n’s neck.
y/n whimpered at the action, listening to the conversation that happened on the other side of the door with heavy breaths.
sunwoo was asking someone if they had seen his girlfriend.
even if y/n did want to answer now, minjeong swallowed her noises, tongues fighting each other for dominance as y/n traced the other girl’s abs.
she whined into y/n’s mouth, feeling all of her fantasies finally coming to life.
“please, y/n..” it was a desperate whisper as they pulled away just enough to breathe, not wanting to create any more distance.
“i’ll take care of you.” she panted, playing with the piercings on her lip as she eyed y/n hungrily.
“i love it when you do that.” y/n whispered, keeping eye contact with minjeong while the footsteps retreated. “yeah?” minjeong closed the gap between them, pressing their lips together in a needy kiss.
“minjeong— baby, wait...” y/n moaned, pushing the girl away.
“call the uber.”
it felt like y/n’s brain was doing summersalts inside of her head, hammering against the edges with each routine. she groaned, reluctantly opening her eyes as she scanned the room that she found herself in.
the sheets smelled like amber vanilla with a hint of tart cherry. a scent she had come to love and hate over the years.
because it belonged to kim minjeong.
y/n sat up abruptly, breathing frantically as she really examined the room that she was in. she hadn’t even noticed the figure with blonde hair that she had been previously cuddled up with. that’s why she didn’t recognize this room.
because it belonged to kim minjeong.
“shit shit shit! what the fuck?” y/n bounced out of the bed, searching for her clothes that were scattered on the floor. her phone was on the nightstand, and she could see the multiple notifications that she had received from sunwoo.
she collected everything, tip-toeing into the connected bathroom and slipping back into the outfit she had on previously.
the mirror revealed that her lip combo was stained and there were marks scattered over her skin.
she would have to hide all of this from sunwoo.
feeling the realization really sinking in now, y/n grabbed her phone and traversed into the hallway. she saw that there was a door that seemed to lead to another room, and she began to panic more.
of course minjeong has a roommate.
quickly finding her way to the living area, it was barely lit up by the sunrise. the blinds were completely closed, and there was no other light available. y/n could barely see now, so how did anyone even see when they got home?
her mind tunneled on getting out of this mess, finding one of her boots at the door. after slipping it on, she ran a hand through her hair as her eyes scanned the space for the other pair.
it had to be close, right?
she hit her knee on the sofa, yelping and kneeling down to grab it. “fuck!” she whisper-yelled, pouting up at the sofa as she mentally cursed it out.
someone walked into the living room, flicking the light on and y/n fell silent. she froze in place, closing her eyes as she hoped the sofa would hide her figure completely.
“y/n. i can see your hat.” a familiar voice called out.
what the fuck?
y/n jumped up. “ningning!” her eyes were damn near poking out of their sockets.
ningning’s lips spread into a smile, letting out a melodious laugh after she scanned all of the hickeys and love bites scattered on y/n’s collarbone area and up.
y/n was confused and embarrassed, but not ashamed. “wait, but minjeong isn’t your roommate?…” that was when another figure left the room, grabbing both of their attention.
“holy shit, aeri??” y/n yelled out in surprise.
