✴-☀-✴-☀-✴-☀-✴-☀-✴-☀

You had talked for a few years, dated for a while, and—as recently as 2 years ago, been married to the love of your life: Hyun.

You still remember the day you met. The overnight flight, stuffy conference room, and brief introductions. His broad shoulders, kissable lips, and bright brown eyes. A sharp three-piece suit, honey toned skin, and a confident stride. He immediately caught your eye, but he was an associate of the company that your own boss was interested in collaborating with. Unreachable. Completely off limits. You knew better than to mix work with pleasure.

But he was so charming. Always a gentleman. He opened doors for you and never looked down on you, knowing full well that you were his equal in the field. A woman worthy of her position after the many years it took you to get there. He listened to you: your marketing ideas and operational insight. The thoughts that swam laps around your mind.

Contract coworkers became acquaintances. Acquaintances became good friends. He drove across 4 districts to pick you up when your car broke down in the middle of the road. He pulled you back from the crosswalk when a truck ran the red light. He was a listening ear for you on the nights that you couldn’t hold the weight of the world on your shoulders all by yourself. And you did the same for him. Tenfold.

Over the years, you laughed at each other’s jokes, leaned on each other’s shoulders, and grew not only as individuals, but as a team. A pair. A couple of 9 to 5, caffeine high, and sleep deprived people who somehow figured out everything right. Not perfect, but for the both of you? Just right.

It wasn’t love at first sight. Sparks didn’t immediately fly. It was slow. Gradual. Continuous. Endless. Then one day, he looked over at you from across his living room and said, “I’d like to hang out with you for my whole life.”

Things have always been steady with Hyun. You both built a foundation together. A sturdy structure of mutual love, trust, and respect. Dating a business partner is not always a great decision—it’s more often than not a bad decision, but you wouldn’t have the life you’ve built with him any other way.

A/n: I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things. This drabble will have a smutty part 2, I just didn't want to tackle it all in one day and I didnt want to wait to post this little thing.

Life is better. School is going great. I finally found my 'creative vision' again after months of healing. I've found myself again, and with that, I'm ready to begin sharing my bbh stories with the world again.

And oh shit it's MAY 6TH IN THE US. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BAEKHYUN! 🎉🎊🎀🎁🎂🎈💕💖💗💘💝💞💟💓

Happy summer vacation to the students out there too. See you loves, hopefully, again soon 💗💖💞💕

[peppertaemint]

Fandom dynamics really do differ across groups, and I side eye anyone trying to say otherwise. The kpop fandoms I've found to be the most toxic are EXO, BP and BTS. NCT has subfandoms plus an overall fandom, and each subfandom is different, but Dream's fandom gives the most "bts army" vibes.

The rivalry between Dream fans and 127 fans is on-going, and it reminds of what we're now seeing between BTS army, NewJeans fans and Le Sserafim fans. Having rivalries within the company is actually an old marketing method - it keeps the customer base diverse as different brands attract different people, who feel they're making a choice that reflects them, when all the money goes to the same parent company.

Interestingly, NCT 127 fans are very upset at various things currently (concepts, promotions etc), and their fans made a twitter poll to decide whether to boycott the group entirely over it. 💀 They didn't decide to do that (last I saw) but the orderliness of their discontent was interesting. Also the extremes they seemed willing to go to make their points.

Shawols remain incredibly pretentious (guilty as charged) with a superiority complex. I've never seem so many etiquette guides and gentle conflicts in my life. People go on [rest] over the online equivalent of someone looking at them the wrong way, lol. And I've seen people genuinely distressed over being blocked. Sigh. God forbid you use your lightstick at the wrong time or arrive late to an event. You will be written about on Twitter with your exact row number given. 💀

Solo fan groups function like a more intense version of NCT's subfandoms, because they create separate, conflicting agendas within a larger system. As a JK "bias" I am always first to admit JK fans 9/10 can be found crying in the corner. They (we?) will get butthurt and not make it anyone else's problem per se. Other solo fans, not so. I think PJMs fascinate me the most because I think like Jimin himself, you can't really slot them into one category. Hard to pin down, full of the unexpected. I won't mention Tae fans because that will get me in trouble.

Taemin fans are split between insular, true "solo" fans and those that lean toward SHINee or SuperM. I think they are similar to JK fans but spend less time in the corner and more time creating problems. They will watch old content and decide TM was sexually assaulted or insert him into anything and everything.

I'm exaggerating to make my point but basically I really don't buy the idea that all fandoms are the same, and that some are just worse because of the sheer number of people who are fans. I think that's an excuse. All fandoms have toxic behaviour or "bad" behaviour but they are not the same.

What makes this product unique?

Supreme Keto ACV Gummies are a dietary product that claims to help people on a ketogenic diet lose weight faster. This material may contain beta-hydroxybutyrate, or BHB. BHB is one of the main ketone bodies that the liver makes when it doesn't have enough carbs.

To get into a metabolic state called ketosis, you have to eat a lot of energy and fat every day. But it can't be said enough how important it is to reduce carbohydrate intake. So, your body will use fat as food even if you don't work out. This keeps your blood sugar from getting too high and making you sick.

If you take the sweets before you eat in the morning, your body may get into ketosis faster. This means you don't have to worry about eating too many calories or carbs during the day.

Keto Gummies are made to help the body get into ketosis more quickly. Low levels of sugar and fat in the blood are a sign of this sickness. This lets fat be burned.

If you lose weight, your body will be stronger and last longer. This may make you feel healthy and more confident. Since this pill makes people feel less hungry, they are less likely to eat too much or get distracted while eating.

It also helps you keep your blood pressure in a healthy range and gives you real-time signs that help you understand what's going on inside your body. Your immune system also gets stronger, which may keep you from getting sick.

2022 Retrospective

So, it's April. I have exactly nothing written for any of my usual categories but KPop, and very little interest in doing so. That doesn't mean that there wasn't any good stuff elsewhere. My favorite band released a new album. There were a couple of good Anime, live action shows, and movies I enjoyed a lot. Puss In Boots is amazing. Chainsaw Man made me binge the Manga in a day. I read Dune and it was A LOT. I just didn't take notes throughout the year, and looking back I can't come up with much to say, nor muster the energy to go through everything I should talk about to make this an accurate retrospective of my year. So KPop only it is this time.

In retrospect, I'm not quite sure if KPop was good in 2021, or if I just went on a SHINee deep dive and fell in love with the group all over again. And they still have a choke hold on my playlist, Jonghyun especially, there's just a lot to catch up with. It also didn't help that last year was incredibly dry, especially in the boy group department. But one thing at a time. First, a lighting round of everything noteworthy to me that I can't find enough to say about to warrant a complete paragraph. APink's “Dilemma” disappointed with a confusing and underwhelming chorus, and their subunit, while having a cute idea, also failed to leave much of an impression on me. Astro is out of the dark dungeons for good, and they're doing well with it. NU'EST disbanding was expected, considering the awful track record HYBE has with renewals of bought-out groups, but it stings nonetheless to see another one of the 2012 line-up go. Kingdom has an interesting concept, but their music always fails to convince me. “Ascension” is their best effort to date though. CLASS:y had a fun debut with “Shut Down”, and no follow up of theirs stuck the landing. Finally, BIBI's “Animal Farm” is cool. She knows what she’s doing. I also have no idea how she got “JOTTO” past age restriction on YouTube, but good for her. 2022 had an unreasonable number of releases I like to put on the “WTF are you even doing”-pile. Where 2021 saw a development of trends I've never been fond of coming to a head, especially within SM entertainment, last year was the desensitization phase. A lot of what I complained about before was put into perspective by the utter failure at successfully recreating those trends by new and established artists alike. There are some of the usual suspects, like certain NCT units, which feel designed to provoke confusion on my part, so I won’t discuss them anymore. In a post “Sticker” world, just being obnoxious was no longer enough to truly baffle me. And I can't stress enough just how much of KPop last year, especially coming from boy groups, was utterly obnoxious. In retrospect, GOT The Beat dropping “Step Back” on New Year’s Day was a perfect indicator of where the year was headed. Not only does the song sound unfinished, SM couldn't even be bothered to film a MV for it. The mixing is almost as awful as the lyrics, and considering the questionable theme of the song that’s saying a lot. And I can't help questioning why it had to be that way. Why did SuperM get to sing about how cool they are, but their female counterpart gets to play out a tired and sexist cliche? And repeatedly rhyming “level” on “level” certainly isn't great lyricism either. Such a waste of talent. No wonder BoA has no idea what she's even in the group for. ENHYPEN had a fantastic 2021. No, I wasn't convinced by them even then (thanks to HYBE's awful vocal processing), but their music was very recognizable, and at least “Drunk-Dazed” was undeniably a slam dunk for them. Last year though? “Blessed-Cursed” sounds unfinished, like it was only released to take advantage of the lack of competition on the charts last January. It's inoffensive, but also entirely forgettable and a slight departure from their established sound. But “Future Perfect (Pass The Mic)“ is truly unrecognizable as ENHYPEN. It's extremely generic 4th gen hype music, with none of the charm and energy the best songs in the genre showcase. Anyone could've released this. They even forgot to put the hyphen in the title. And this was only the first offender in the 4th-genification of HYBE boy groups. By all accounts, TXT should've ended the year on my favorites list. I loved their releases the previous year, and really thought that this was a direction HYBE would move them into further, considering the commercial success of the Chaos Chapter. Instead, they dialed back the rock influences and went for edginess instead. This was the first comeback last year where I've seen the VIXX comparison being made, and hell no, VIXX had more maturity than this even during their rookie-days horror phase. “Good Boy Gone Bad” is just frustrating. There's stuff to appreciate about it, like how TXT is still the group under in-house bighit who is least affected by HYBE's infamous vocal production. But the song ultimately falls flat due to played out and edgy lyrics, and a static and repetitive chorus. With how utterly devoid of personality this song is, it’s hard to remember that TXT is one of the major reasons for the rise of pop punk concepts in recent KPop. Seventeen is the third HYBE group to drop everything that makes them unique to go for a generic 4th gen song instead, and “Hot” is exactly good as that sentence suggests. They know what they're doing, but I doubt this is what anyone is stanning them for. Then of course the one HYBE group whose musical style would fit the current boy group trends, partly because they had a huge part in coining them, releases...whatever “Yet To Come” even is. If you're not trying I won't either. I did somewhat like J-Hope's solos though. If I was interested in the genre or not as dead tired of BTS as I currently am I would be all over “More” and “Arson”. At least he sounds like he means it. In a similar vein, Big Bang's long-awaited comeback was not at all the triumphant return I expected. “Still Life” sounds like a swansong. They're done being idols, that's the impression I got from this release. And if that's the case, good for them, hope you don't have too many regrets leaving this life behind. But it's weird that they aren't in the same room for the entirety of the MV. They're on the “WTF are you even doing”-pile not because it's a ballad, or because it's somber, but because it too sounds unfinished. The song ends very abruptly, and half the lyrics are filler. There is no physical release, and no B-sides either. After 6 years of waiting, and especially compared to every other recent 2nd gen revival, I expected more. The final boy group in this category is ONEUS, and it pains me to criticize them so heavily. They just had an awful year, even ignoring their big scandal. “Bring It On” is a mess and overstays its welcome. The MV also wastes the concept set up by the teasers. But ONEUS has always been hit or miss with me. No, it is “Same Scent” that landed them a spot on the bad pile. Not only does it sound like a less interesting and polished rehash of “A Song Written Easily”, not only does it phenomenally waste the concept of its teasers, but it also asks for VIXX comparisons once again. And unlike “Luna”, it just does not withstand those. This is the most phoned-in a comeback of theirs ever felt. Luckily the girl groups this year were not nearly as fond of developing into confusing directions (with the notable exception of Weeekly). But one group came out of the gate swinging with the goal of wasting their talent as efficiently as possible. And it’s impossible to talk about them without discussing aespa first. “Girls” is a nice showcase of everything wrong with their concept. Already the forced focus of every title track on SM's lore feels stifling. There are only so many times you can sing about fighting the same villain on a backdrop of world building this shallow before it becomes repetitive. The choreography is a bad joke, and the song itself isn’t all that interesting either. The breakdown comes in too late to save it. While I didn’t like their output last year, I found myself at least thinking about it sometimes, this was forgettable in comparison. Their songs are a hot mess, but it could work. They have the talent to make it work, their lyrics just take me out of it every single time. And yet, it always feels like they will inevitably get that one song that will convince me somewhere down the line. But what happens if you try to copy the messed-up song structure they got famous for with “Next Level” and do it without any understanding for what makes aespa popular? “0.0” might just be the worst debut song I have ever heard. God, this is a mess. This is beating a dead horse at this point, I'm aware, but there was no way I could pretend this didn't happen. The girls have talent, that much is clear, but their title tracks are awful. It's aespa's messy song structure, but the stitched together songs range from forgettable to obnoxious and screaming “NMIIIIIIIIX” during the sorry excuse for a transition they allow the two frankensteined songs to have does not make it better. “Dice” is arguably even worse, because “0.0” at least is loud enough to force a reaction. Everyone has an opinion about that song. “Dice” meanwhile is just forgettable. And yet, even with how much JYP was trying, NMIXX wasn't even the biggest waste of talent for me. No, that honor belongs to BLACKPINK. You give us nothing for two years, and then we get...”Pink Venom” and “Shut Down”. Okay. Let’s see. “Pink Venom” is certainly the lesser evil here. It had potential to be good even. The final breakdown is incredibly jarring, the intro is obnoxious, and sampling “Pon The Replay” was a horrible idea, it just made me want to listen to that instead. But the chorus is a nice change of pace for them, and they sell it. All the song needed was a bit more polish, and a proper final chorus. “Shut Down” meanwhile was one big nothing of a song. “Whatever” is not the reaction anyone should have to a BLACKPINK comeback, and yet that's all I can bring myself to feel about it. When I was talking about CLASS:y's debut with my sister she called it “The better of the two Shut Downs we got this year”, and I genuinely couldn't remember that BLACKPINK, the biggest girl group on the planet, had a title track with that name. It’s very repetitive; the baseline never changes once during the entire three-minute song. But despite that repetitiveness it fails to be catchy or memorable. For the first time, a BLACKPINK comeback did not feel like a big deal, and despite my many gripes with their music, that saddens me a bit. Finally, Red Velvet may or may not belong in this category. Their releases this year weren’t awful but confusing for sure. “Feel My Rhythm” could have been nice if it just stuck to its own concept. The modern styling that shows up halfway through the MV in tandem with a more modern KPop sound is distracting, but the overall song is boring rather than confusing. “Birthday” meanwhile sounds oddly juvenile coming from a senior group. This would make much more sense if it were released by rookies. It has moments that sound a lot like Red Velvet, but they are startling in a song that sounds like it was written for someone else entirely. Seulgi's solo debut was nice though, “28 Reasons” may fail entirely at living up to its title, but it’s a good fit for her, and I like it more than anything the group released in a while.

I initially planned to structure the KPop part of this retrospective into 4 categories. The “WTF are you even doing”-pile first, then everything I had mixed opinions on, followed by artists that stood out positively this year, and closing the segment with a look at how my faves did. But the more I look at my notes, the less I feel like writing the middle two segments. There just wasn't much I have unbridled praise for, and half of the good category is sorted in there only for lack of anything negative to say on my part, not because I loved the releases. So, I'm going to start with those three artists.

I have never been a fan of GOT7. Neither the members nor the music JYP handed them ever convinced me. They have a few good songs, but they never stood out to me beyond having the power of a big label behind them. And JYP liked to do them dirty anyway, especially compared to Stray Kids. GOT7 was never allowed to take creative control of their own music and image, a fact their fandom has bemoaned for a long time. And this year I found myself agreeing. They should have been cut lose way sooner. Not because their reunion was noteworthy beyond the fact that it happened. No, because Jackson Wang's solos are better than anything he ever contributed to GOT7. Yeah, turns out the problem was not JYP, it was not letting Jackson sing at an orgy. I like “Blow” as a song (turns out Jackson is a better singer than rapper, who would have guessed?), but the music video adds a lot to the experience. And that much is true for all his singles this year. “Blow”, “Cruel”, and “Come Alive” all convince with great choreography. And by that I am not referring to just the dance, the videos are well thought out, shot, and edited. “Cruel” is a three-minute fight scene disguised as a choreo video. It says a lot about their quality that by the time Riot Games made a kick-ass animated short for “Fire To The Fuse” all I thought was: “checks out”. Though seeing him perform at League worlds was certainly wild. I have less to say about the other two. PSY's “That That” was fun. Duh. This is PSY. Who else would get a BTS member to feature on a song just so they could punch each other in the face? The song is catchy as usual, and the music video is bound to at least make you smile at the absurdity of the rap battle. TWICE is the last artist on the good list for lack of anything to criticize. “Pop” was exactly what you would expect from a Nayeon solo debut. If anything, it was too expected, and wouldn't be surprising as a TWICE single. You don't have to stretch your imagination much to make up a line distribution for OT9 TWICE. Still, it was a catchy song, and she did well with it. Mostly I'm just glad that they're sticking around. “Talk That Talk” is very unapologetically a TWICE song, shock full of all the quirks and personality you'd expect. That is why I don't have much to praise. It's TWICE. It's a proven formula. They work. They managed to mature without changing their core appeal, and I'm sure they're going to continue being a nice presence to have around. Which is good, because this year it felt like the reign of 3rd gen groups was finally over. Most of the big hits came from new artists. 2022 reminded me of 2017, when, after a few years of coexistence, 2nd gen groups started to fade from relevance. I'm going to miss the generation that got me into KPop, the 2012 boy group line up especially, but it's not like there aren't any older artists sticking around. The 2nd gen is more alive than the 3rd gen at the moment, and I'm living for it. I never have much to say about Super Junior, but I never want them to change their style either. While “Don't Wait” is fun and should've been the title track, “Mango” was one of the better boy group singles last year, for lack of competition, but also because it's pleasant to listen to. BoA's “Forgive Me” may sound very in line with current trends, but her attitude and vocals are on point. And “When I Move” was a nice surprise at the end of the year. We need more adult woman in KPop. There is a certain quality that comes with experience, and we rarely see girl groups stick around long enough to celebrate a 15th anniversary. The biggest of which certainly was Girls' Generation's “Forever 1”. I'm not sure if the song makes up for the long wait, but I love that it was a love letter to the group. They deserve to celebrate themselves. Once again though it feels like SM's second gen solos are more interesting than the group releases, and Taeyeon did well this year. “Can't Control Myself” doesn't even make my top 3 SM 2nd gen solo pre-releases of 2022 (very specific, I know, blame Key and Changmin), but more due to the quality of the competition than its own shortcomings. It's a simple song, but she sells the hell out of it. Similar things can be said about the title track “INVU”, a clever wordplay I am sure the lyricist is very proud of. I wish they'd done more with the concept, I feel robbed of Artemis Taeyeon, but it seems like it revived the interest in her solos, and I can't begrudge it that success. (G)I-DLE, against all predictions, might just have been the most commercially successful 3rd gen group this year. Did they deserve it? Eh, kinda. “Tomboy” is a bit of a hot mess. The hook is strong enough to justify the commercial success of the single, one of the best beatdrops released this year for certain. Their vocal line still slays too, Yuqi especially, and their attitude has always been on point. But for everything good or even amazing about this song, there is something awkward holding it back, most infamously Soyeon's 2nd verse. Go film a tiktok kiddo, and...swear without cigarettes? Eh on drinking whiskey? What? And once again, dead horse, but you really don't know what tomboy means. “Nxde” meanwhile is consistently good start to finish, but the hook doesn't hit as hard. Karmen is an overdone sample, and this wasn't a creative use of it. It's a song that profits a lot from its music video though. I can't help but respect the pure guts of the concept, and that they managed to make sexy empowering. This was one of the cleverest comebacks this year for sure, and another case in point for why we need girl groups to stick around for longer than just a few years. No rookie group could've released this. That didn't stop the rookies from going absolutely nuts this year though. IVE might've debuted last year, but their debut was still taking music show wins well into February. In any other year, they would be the biggest rookie group without any competition, I don't think I've ever seen a group dominate that hard with just three singles under their belt. “Love Dive” is going to take most SOTY awards, and already has three in the bag as of writing this. It's far from my favorite song this year, but it's easy to see why it became so big. It's nice to listen to, catchy, and comes with a super cool prechorus. The production on their songs is super clean, and that also shows in their follow up “After Like”. The problem I'm having is that their vocals aren't strong enough for the song. Only Wonyoung delivers the chorus with the flair it demands. At this point, it's clear that the true star is their production team. Nevertheless, that is already more than many groups have to offer, and they're young. They're probably going to stick around for a while, and it'll be interesting to see them grow up artistically. The other big post-IZ*ONE group debut meanwhile didn't go down as smoothly. “Fearless” is fine, I didn't have an issue with the song, and the EP even had some good B-sides. The problem is that their entire debut promotion cycle was overshadowed by a bullying scandal that ended with a member leaving. And as a former victim of bullying myself, I am absolutely disgusted by what happened. The collective internet ruined the life of a 16-year-old girl over unproven allegations of something she supposedly did at age 12. Fighting fire with fire is never going to work, and bullying is not a problem we can solve by bullying minors out of their dream job. LE SSERAFIM is always going to leave a bitter taste in my mouth because of that. “Anti-Fragile” then reads as super ironic to me. You can't tell me that your group is fearless and anti-fragile if that is your debut story. Shame, because the song has grown on me quite a bit. The “anti-ti-ti-ti-fragile” chant is annoying, but it is a catchy song otherwise, with much more personality than their debut had. If you want to flex your biceps though, maybe actually have one? There are other ways to portray strength than flexing muscles, and if anything, this move makes them look more fragile, not less so. And because two big debuts battling it out wasn't enough, HYBE pulled a SHINee on us and dropped another new girl group without much more than a rumor leading up to their debut. Also like SHINee, they're going to change this industry, if not at all for the same reasons. In an industry that has embraced its own artificiality, NewJeans' laid-back concept is a breath of fresh air. They look like no other group on the market, and they don't sound like any either. “Attention” is the official debut single, and it is a decent enough song. Nothing impressive in the vocal department here either, and the final chorus overstays its welcome quite a bit. But attention it grabbed indeed. “Hype Boy” was the second single of their debut EP, and I enjoyed that one a lot more. It's a true mood lifter of a song and shows off the charm of their concept better than “Attention” in my opinion. They also dropped “Ditto” just before the end of the year, and I really like it. The song is super chill and has been stuck in my head since its release. The music video is also very well made. It's charming, although this song too has no idea what its titular word means. But like with LE SSERAFIM, there is a giant asterisk next to any praise I have for them: The controversy surrounding “Cookie”. It would've been better if the girls weren't minors, but the song would creep me out either way. I have a passionate hatred for cheeky, cutesy, innuendo-filled songs. If you're not mature enough to talk about sex, you're not mature enough to have it, you know? And then there are the stories about Min Heejin. I'm not one to judge people based on rumors, but some of her work with SM was incredibly creepy too, and I'd much rather have her stay away from idols period. While I would admire the group's concept for being genius marketing, one must question if marketability was even a consideration when the creative mind behind them was also responsible for making SHINee, whose oldest member was 21 at the time, look even younger by all possible means for their “Sherlock” album, milk bottles and digital removal of muscle mass included. And I struggle to reconcile my abhorrence for Min Heejin with my growing appreciation for NewJeans' music. The copycats didn’t take long to appear this time too, with TripleS' first unit's debut, “Generation”, feeling very inspired by NewJeans. It has the same intend of making the girls look like normal teenagers, appealing to a sense of camaraderie in younger fans, and nostalgia in the older ones. I think they did a better job in some respects (certainly at not being creepy about it), and the song is nice, but the similarities are certainly noteworthy. TripleS also has a horrible group concept I refuse to engage with, and I'm worried that giving young idols such a girl next door image will bring back some of the horribly entitled stan behavior we've seen during 2nd gen. The fun part is, I'm still not even done with girl group debuts. No one seems to be sure if XG counts as KPop, but they certainly have the same appeal. Their lyrics could use some improvement, but I've seen much worse even by native speaking English artists. And the girls own their songs. “Tippy Toes” is a decent debut, and the confidence they deliver it with is impressive. But well, what do you expect from a group that is canonically a pack? No seriously, it's in the lyrics. And “Mascara” has been a guilty pleasure for me. It should be cringey by all accounts, but there is enough genuine good about it to make me come back despite, or maybe even because of the cringe worthy bits. This song is pure girl power, and in the age of girl crush that is much appreciated. Lastly, there is one boy group debut I want to mention. TAN's “DU DU DU” really ticks all the boxes for red flags you can imagine. A group formed by a fairly unknown survival show? Check. A group name that is impossible to google? Check. A onomatopoeia song title? Check And yet, the song is good. The beatdrop is smooth, the group seems to have a decent vocal line, and it's been ages since I've heard a well utilized rapper in a vocal focused song. I didn't enjoy any of their other comebacks, but this was one hell of a song to start out on. Even beyond the debuts, most of what stood out this year came from 4th gen groups. I liked ATEEZ this year, though maybe that is familiarity bias after playing some of their songs in Beatsaber extensively. Their music seems ideal for that game. “Guerrilla” feels like everything I could want from a 4th gen hype song. It's super cool. ATEEZ has the vocal line to build up to and deliver on a proper chorus, and they aren't afraid to get a bit dirty with it. I wish they did more with the MV concept, but that's the Starlight in me talking. “Cyberpunk” is also a strong B-side, and I feel like the only person in the world who prefers the title track over it. Like NewJeans, they also sneaked in another comeback after everyone was already done with their year-end lists. "Halazia" is the usual affair for them. A bit too much autotune in the verses for my liking, especially since ATEEZ really doesn't need it and the effect adds nothing to the song. But that's forgivable considering how cool everything else about this comeback is. And if you told me a year ago that my favorite boy group song of 2022 would be by P1Harmony I wouldn't have believed you, but here we are. Some of that is certainly due to the utter lack of competition, but “Doom Du Doom” is a good song in its own right. The anti-drop is extremely smooth, and it works start to finish. The MV is also a delight. Backyard Olympics are a fun concept, and the small details really sell it. From the burning satellite dish serving as the Olympic flame to the boxing announcer counting choruses like rounds of the match. It's not quite ONF level of delightful, but delightful nonetheless. I still wish E'LAST wasn't as nugu as they are, and Wonhyuk might be actually cursed. So much talent, so much bad luck. Of all the groups to get their account hacked and taken down in the middle of a comeback, did it have to be them? They are barely dodging disbandment already. “Creature” is the most 4th gen they have ever sounded, but it’s a very E'LAST take on a beatdrop for sure. They have the talent to sell their epic sound, and the anti-drop here works well too. I doubt they're ever topping “Tears Of Chaos” at this point, but they're worth checking out nonetheless and could seriously use more attention. Then we have StayC, who, just when I started to come around on them, had their first real miss. “Run2U” is fun, catchy, and a super clean production, as I've come to expect from them. There still wasn't anything outstanding about them, but the lack of negative things to say was refreshing. Then they dropped “Beautiful Monster” and all of that went down the drain. The song is generic in all the wrong ways. Still a clean production, but it feels empty and pointless. The final group in the mixed section is ITZY, and no one is more confused about that than I am. I had given up on ever understanding the hype around them. I don't like their voices, and I loathe a decent chunk of their title tracks, “Sneakers” included. The chorus wastes all the good will the first verse manages to amass. Congratulations JYP, you reached the “sneakers are empowering” stage of feminism. But “Cheshire” is fun, and the first song of theirs I ever downloaded. I tend to like JYP groups more as their careers go on, so who knows, if this is a direction they stick to maybe they'll release other songs I like in the future. As for the artists I don't stan but have nothing but praise for...well, I'm still not done talking about rookies. Billlie might not have impressed me with their debut, but they killed it last year. “GingaMingaYo (the strange world)” has one of the best choruses I heard all year, and the rest of the song is no letdown either. I've called most girl group releases fun and catchy this year, because that was the trend, but this one takes the cake. The song and MV are sure to put a smile on my face, and certainly put the group on my radar. Their 2nd title track, “RING ma Bell (what a wonderful world)”, was one of the better takes on pop punk too. They imbue the song with just enough personality to make it work, and the anti-drop is surprising for once. Most importantly, they perform the song with a lot of energy. The sense of joy that seems to permeate everything they release mixes well with the pop punk concept. Fitting then, that the other rookie I was happy about is not only just as joyful, but also made pop punk work. Among all the post-IZ*ONE projects, Yena's solo is my favorite. “Smiley” and “Smartphone” are equally fun and catchy title tracks, and “LxxK 2 U” is a deservedly popular B-side and the aforementioned venture into pop punk. Beyond the songs though, the strong sense of personality both of her releases have is what I loved most about them. Not even a year in, and she already has a distinct and recognizable style. There's a risk of that becoming stale if not developed long-term, but for now, her releases have been a delight. And because we didn't have enough noteworthy girl group debuts yet, Fifty Fifty crawled their way into hidden gem status by the power of their strong debut EP "The Fifty". It's good start to finish, "Lovin' Me" being my personal favorite, but it's the girls themselves that stand out here, not just the production. There's some real talent on display in this debut, and I hope to hear more of them. Finally, in an entirely different niche of KPop, there was once again a 2nd gen SM solo I did not have on my radar at all. If “Step Back” was an indicator of where the year was heading, Changmin pre-releasing “Fever” during the same concert was what I wished had been a sign instead. The entire EP is one big flex by the original evil maknae, and if I explained what I love about the vocals in all the tracks I want to highlight I'd sound like a broken record. Changmin is an amazing singer, and he's from the generation of SM idols who're so far past the need for hits, they can't be bothered to follow the trends. “Fever” might as well be a musical number, and “Maniac” is a complaint about a stalker told in Hitchcock references that just gets better the more I hear it. The pre-releases are so good, they almost overshadow the title track. Which is saying something, because “Devil” demands your attention. It's loud, not because its noisy, it's quite subdued even, but because it's dramatic beyond reason. “Alien” then somehow manages to be simultaneously smooth and cute, and even an avid ballad hater like me can appreciate “Airplane Mode” sometimes. Except for one song, the EP is an absolute slam dunk in my opinion. If I have one gripe with it, it's that the velvet album cover, while cool, collects dust like crazy and is impossible to clean. KPop wasn't just in general not to my taste last year, and even the artists I like didn't deliver as much as I hoped they would. With one exception: Every time WOODZ releases something it's entirely different from his last comeback, and every time it's somehow exactly what I want from him. “Colorful Trauma” is my favorite EP of his to date. Even with the abundance of pop punk concepts we've seen recently, no one else comes even close to being as good at it as WOODZ is. He's the only one I can actually imagine singing in a rock band, and he's proven that he knows how to properly use a guitar in KPop before. "I Hate You" was really the only possible pick for a title track but might just be the least remarkable song on the album. Every song works. "Dirt On My Leather" is just a straight up rock song, no pretense of KPop at all, howling electric guitars and rock vocals included. "Hijack" too is extremely cool, and something about "Hope To Be Like You" makes me come back to that song time and time again. WOODZ absolutely knows what he is doing, and I can't wait to hear what he releases next. I wish I could express the same level of excitement for my other faves, but their releases were a lot more mixed. I'm not sure what to make of Dreamcatcher's sci-fi era. “Locked Inside A Door” is the only B-side on “Apocalypse: Save Us” that I liked enough to download, and while “Maison” was certainly among the better title tracks this year, I just can't make sense of it. The song is lacking a chorus, and the final breakdown is easily the best part. I still like it, but that's mostly on the members. Dreamcatcher is a group where every single member adds to their songs, and there's never a shortage of fantastic moments to pick a favorite from. It just doesn't come together into a cohesive whole on “Maison”. “Vision” meanwhile may have weaker moments, but the song as a whole slaps. Once again, the members do a lot of heavy lifting, Siyeon especially, but the songwriting is quite strong too. The EP is fine, but the title track is the only song that stands out. Nevertheless, I'm super happy that they're sticking around for a second contract and am looking forward to where they're heading next. My favorite rookies meanwhile had their first big miss with “memeM”. The song leans very hard into the type of 4th gen noise music that I appreciated Purple Kiss for not doing, and it's the exact opposite of what I want from them. The entire EP was disappointing after the impeccable run they had up to this point. “Pretty Psycho” is the only song I put on my playlist, and I think even RBW realized that it was more popular than the title track. But it was also supposed to be the intro to their comeback last year, so at least some of it has already existed for months, which was worrisome. So I'm glad to report that “Geekyland” was everything I wanted. “Nerdy” is my favorite title track of theirs so far. It's fun, quirky, and catchy. The MV makes perfect use of their quirky horror concept and is one of the very few this year that is consistent with the teaser concepts and delivers on their potential. “Bye Bye Bully” is such a good intro, I wish it would receive the “Pretty Psycho” treatment and be turned into a full song too. The rest of the EP is mostly good as well. “Love Is Dead” is cool, and “SuMMer RaiN” is a lovely ballad. I also finally figured out that Stray Kids aren't single artists. I'm not the biggest fan of "Maniac", but it works within the context of "Oddinary". None of the songs on that EP made it onto my playlist, but I liked listening to the album (and playing every Alekcake map of it in Beatsaber). I didn't enjoy "Maxident" though. The songs felt like just more of the same. Except for the title track. "Case 143" is a straightforward love song, and damn is that weird coming from this group. It's fun though, and the MV is fantastic as usual. ONF's entire existence has been a delight for me, so of course they not only handled their military hiatus as quickly as possible, but they also prepared a special album to release in the middle of it. The title track of which, "Your Song", falls under the category of fansongs that are only truly enjoyable if you already like the group. Luckily for me, I do, so this has been a nice surprise to carry us through their hiatus. I can't wait to have them back for real this year.

Finally, there is SHINee. Even with the group on hiatus, Shawols had no shortage of new music to enjoy. The one upside to their current military break is that Onew, Key, and Minho finally get to establish their solo careers on their own terms, with the budget of the group at their disposal. Minho surprised us by releasing an EP right when we'd given up hope for it. Ever since Jonghyun made his debut album a copy of Taemin's in everything but music, SHINee had a running joke about their solo debuts plagiarizing each other. The albums are all in the same format, have the same font and layout, and most importantly, the titles rhyme. “Chase” is the long-awaited final entry in the plagiarism series. And it's a decent effort, but I think it mostly exists not because Minho wanted to release solo music, but because he wanted to complete the joke Jonghyun started. The songs even make multiple references to Jonghyun's solos, with the title track being named after “Let Me Out” (a favorite of mine), and a reference to “Take The Dive” in the lyrics of “Waterfall”. The latter is also the song I listened to the most on this EP, and its only real standout track. Onew too released an EP last year, and everything about “Dice” is delightfully Onew: a bit weird, a bit awkward, soft, and adorable. That charm, and its interesting concept, is what makes the MV one of my favorites of the year. Shawols also showed their chaotic queer energy by simping not (only) for Onew, but for the girl in the MV. And for good reason. She's the most perfect love interest they could've given him. I love how the story plays out, with Onew being entirely in over his head, but trying his best to save her anyway because he's just a good person. Even though she never needed his help, the mere fact that he tried is enough. It's very sweet, and suits Onew so much. The same can be said about the music. “Dice” makes for a fine title track, “Sunshine” is pure serotonin, and “On The Way” is the kind of vocal flex that doesn't sound like much on first listen, but gets more astonishing the more you pay attention to the details. He's SHINee's main vocal for a reason. I'm not as fond of the rest of the album, and overall Onew's might just be the SHINee solo I'm least into, but that's more a compliment to the other solos then a dig against him. Even if his music doesn't quite align with my taste the way Jonghyun's does, this is still a SHINee solo, and they just don't miss. Then of course there is Key's 2nd album and boy do I have beef with it. The retro horror themed teasers and album packaging are nothing short of amazing, and then the MV is something else entirely. Give me Key playing multiple villains for an entire music video, I beg you. “Gasoline” also isn't what I wanted musically. It's the type of song about hyping yourself up and sticking it to the haters that every single boy group has done at this point. But it works here for three main reasons: First of all, Key is one of the most charismatic and engaging performers KPop has to offer. He can save worse. Secondly, and more importantly, he delivers the song with exactly the right attitude. Key understands that a song about doing your own thing no matter what should be one you enjoy performing, and he very clearly does. And that's made even more powerful by the final reason: he earned these lyrics. Key has gotten so much shit just for being himself (mostly for rumored queerness) over 14 years of being an idol, and he never backed down. So if he goes on stage and sings about how this is his joy, his style, his ego, it rings true. And the rest of the albums feels designed to proof just that. It's all very Key. “Bound” is what happens if you hand a lost VIXX song to Key and let him run wild with it. It hits the same fine line between sexy and creepy that VIXX was so good at, lets him flex his vocal range, and adds voguing to the performance because this is Key, and he knows exactly what he is doing. “Villain” tells a story about a fictional villain deciding to go off script because they're fed up with always losing and tired of playing by the rules. “Ain't Gonna Dance” is confident and fabulous and comes with more ironic uses of pet names than the average MinKey interaction. “I Can't Sleep” is a song about insomnia that hits very close to home and proves once more that SHINee needs more lyrics written by the members. “Burn” is a breakup song treated with nuance and maturity. Key also kept his tradition of putting an English song on every release, and “Another Life” with its space imagery is very noticeably a late cut made from “Bad Love” the year prior. SHINee and synth pop is always a win though, and this is no exception. Really, the entire album is a win, these are just the songs that stand out to me the most. And by the power of future sight (aka, laziness and being five months late with this retrospective), I can tell that I'll praise his repackage this year too. So, I guess this is it. Key can have song of the year, again, for “Bound” this time. WOODZ gets album of the year with “Colorful Trauma”, and idk…if the three solos count as combined effort by SHINee they can have artist of the year, I guess. No one else earned it, or at least, I don’t want to hand it to any of the groups who might’ve earned it. This was a demotivating year, I’m glad it’s over.

The 40 Best K-Pop Songs of 2021 (by PAPER Magazine) (full article → HERE)

#16 Advice by TAEMIN

Nobody loves drama the way Taemin loves drama. He embodies it fully, visually and physically. The patron saint of carnal pop released just one single this year before he was called to fulfill his enlistment duties, but it left an immeasurable impact. In many ways, "Advice" is classic Lee Taemin, otherwise known as SHINee's eternal maknae and SuperM's sage chaos master. Baroque and intoxicating, the song itself is a harmonious dance between major and minor, of rhythmic arpeggios and mesmerizing EDM riffs. "Advice" is luxurious. It sounds expensive. As if Taemin would have left us any other way.

#12 Don’t Call Me by SHINee

It's one thing to push pop into the future; it's another to dismantle it completely and play with the parts. K-pop legends SHINee fall into the latter category. For 13 years, they've eschewed trends to define their own distinct musicality — from pristine electropop to rhythmic bangers. On "Don't Call Me," their first release as a unit since 2018, SHINee takes a hard-spun K-pop sound as it's currently being expressed — dark synths, clattering hi-hats and weighty beats — and renders it bolder, edgier and more dynamic. And that piano breakdown? SHINee's back, indeed.

#5 BAD LOVE by KEY

Synthwave clearly has K-pop in a chokehold, but there's not a single artist who embodies this style of exuberant dance music like Kim Kibum, SHINee's elusive chanteur. "Bad Love" is as much an extension of himself and his artistry as the wardrobe he painstakingly curated for his album rollout, or the pulpy, retrofuturism concept he conceived and fought for. Key knows exactly who he is and what he wants to bring to the pop ecosystem, and that's genuinely thrilling in an industry where control is rarely conceded. He's been a student of pop his whole life — Bowie, Gaga, those are his muses. With "Bad Love," Key is now the master.

✴-☀-✴-☀-✴-☀-✴-☀-✴-☀

It’s been a while since you’ve spent an evening like this; riding the last subway train home with Baek by your side. Your love; your soulmate.

You can’t help but smile while looking out at the world beyond the windows, watching the powerline icicles and snow-covered treetops pass by in a blur. The fogged up glass reminds you of the wintry air outside, making you shiver, rubbing your hands over your goosebumps covered skin.

Something soft lands on your shoulders. You instinctively glance over at the man seated next to you, noticing that his black vest is gone.

“Cold?” Baek raises a brow, lightly biting his lip to fight back a smile. He looks way too endearing in his green graphic t-shirt, black pants, with his delicately pierced ear, and that thin red slash on his cheek with the below freezing weather roaring just beyond the glass panels.

You grip onto the thick fabric resting on your shoulders, warm from his radiating heat and sun-kissed skin. His signature fragrance quirks another smile on your lips, warmer than before. Leaning closer to him, you reach over to fondly swipe your thumb under the small scratch, over the smiling apple of his cheek. “Not anymore.”

Baek’s sparkling brown eyes peer sweetly into yours, prompting you to lean in to press your lips to his, only to flinch, your breath hitching in your throat.

He immediately takes notice when you freeze. He straightens up, looking you over frantically. “Baby? Are you…” he trails off when his eyes shoot down to your shaking thighs. Understanding dawns on his features. His eyes flash green when they meet yours again, matching the mischievous smirk on his face. “You didn’t.”

“Y-your idea,” you grit out, gripping his thigh the longer the vibrations buzz between your legs. You were so busy gazing into his eyes and the winter wonderland around you that you forgot about his little wish. His small request. The very thing that has you in this predicament.

You never imagined that a literal genie would ask you to use a vibrator in public of all things. He had sounded so persuasive over the phone the other night, murmuring his promises and requests for when you’d come back home from your business trip. The plans he has for you… Who are you to deny him?

The thought of someone catching you all day had turned you on beyond belief - not that you’d ever tell him that though. Especially with him looking so cute earlier at the train station, with his slightly messy black hair, his brown eyes shining with love and imploring you wordlessly. His endearing habit of tapping his fingers on your thigh while you both waited for the train nearly had you begging him to take you right then and there for the whole world to see. You would have if it wasn’t for that one simple rule; only three wishes can be given to you.

Baek’s smirk morphs into a full-blown grin. The way his dark brown eyes trail over your body heats up your chilled skin. “Come here,” he murmurs lowly, licking his lips.

Your cheeks warm up under his hungry stare, thankful for the empty train car. The look in his eyes tells of so many ways he plans to rock your world tonight. You move to straddle him with a gulp, gasping against his parted lips when he sets his hands on your hips. He tugs your hips forward, making you grind on him. The friction makes you both moan in unison.

“Have you had it this whole time?” he asks breathily, his slender fingers slipping into your back pocket to pull out the remote you had forgotten all about.

“M-maybe.” Your hips buck against his when he lowers the intensity setting, causing a small, shimmering pressure between your legs. Just enough to keep you on edge. You whine, grinding harder against him, the sensation making your thighs quiver.

Baek cups your cheek before pulling you in for a kiss, lifting his hips with each of your movements. The pressure of the vibrator sandwiched between his half-hard cock and your clit has you twitching uncontrollably above him.

“Good,” he whispers, slipping his hand under the waistband of your jeans. He makes a beeline straight for your panties, brushing past your public bone to grab hold of the small vibrator. He twirls it in a way that makes you throw your head back, your toes curling while he sucks eagerly on the base of your neck. You’re not sure if you’re just seeing stars from the pleasure, or if little neon green particles are floating around him in the air.

“Turn around, baby,” he murmurs against your collarbone, giving your neck one last smooch.

You gulp as he pulls down the zipper of your jeans, carefully standing up to face away from him. Baek tugs your pants down to your ankles before pulling you back onto his lap, your back pressed to his chest.

You struggle to find a comfortable position for a few minutes, and eventually end up with your foot propped up on the seat next to him. You’re pretty sure you’ve lost a winter boot and your pants are a tangled mess around your right ankle, but all other thoughts vanish when his hand brushes over your bare core again.

Baek grips the vibrator, pulling your panties aside with his free hand. “You’re so wet,” he murmurs in a mixture of arousal and amusement, running his fingers through your folds.

“Baek, please,” you pant, lifting your hips in search of his touch.

“Hmm?” The tip of his nose brushes over the back of your neck, his warm minty breath fanning over your nape. You feel like you’ve been set on fire while in his arms like this.

“Master, please,” you breathe, letting his secret name slip from your lips. Beckoning him to give you what you want. By the way he tightens his grip on the vibrator and his cock twitches under you, you know you've hit the jackpot.

“What do you want, baby?” he still dares to ask, slipping the tips of his fingers into your clenching core. He pulls and pushes them inside and out of you at his own leisure, producing the filthiest of sounds in the quiet air.

“Please,” you whimper, wrapping your hand around his wrist, your heart and pussy racing in excitement at the feeling of his muscles contracting with every push and pull out of you. “I want you.”

“Where do you want me, baby?” His voice is low in your ear, making the hair on the back of your neck stand up in the most pleasant of ways. He pulls his fingertips out of you, tracing a slow trail up your thigh, over your hip, stomach, and under your sweater to the curve of your breast. He squeezes it firmly, twisting your nipple between his wet fingers. “Hmm?” he muses over your pleasured cry, pinching your nipple softly. “Where do you want me?”

You bite down on your lip, feeling your cheeks heat up again. He wants you to say it - there’s no way you can say it.

Baek traces the edge of your jaw with the tip of his tongue, sucking on a particularly sensitive spot. His wicked tongue and pursed lips against your skin there remind you too much of how his mouth feels between your legs. Suddenly, you’re ready to say anything just to get him to move.

“Fuck me, Baek,” you breathe between choked gasps, mewling when his fingers twist your neglected nipple as well. “Make me come.”

“You want it right here?” His lips trace tantalizingly over the shell of your ear. “For all the world to see? What if someone boards the train, baby?”

Quivering in his lap, you grip onto his thigh for support, moaning in a high pitch when he turns up the intensity of the vibrator, swirling circles around your clit.

“You’d like that, wouldn’t you?” he chuckles in your ear, sliding his middle finger inside of you. “Creaming your Master’s lap?”

“Y-ye-” you barely gasp out, your eyes fluttering shut when he quickly slips his ring finger in too.

“What a filthy little thing you are,” he breathes, heavily affected while you squirm in his lap. “Letting me finger you out in the open like this. What if there are cameras, hmm?”

Your heart and hips stutter at the thought, your grip on his thigh tightening by the minute. Every word that drips from his pink lips has waves of arousal drenching your inner thighs and his fingers. “More,” you pant, lifting your hips in hopes of feeling his digits deeper inside of you. “Master, please.”

“Hmm?” he slows down despite your protests, making you curse him under your breath to no end. He’s going to be the end of you; you’re sure he will.

“More,” you repeat firmly, immensely aroused and tired of his games. “I wish for more. Give me more. Turn up the vibrator, rub my clit, and make me come on your fingers.”

Now you’ve got his attention. Baek slows down to a stop entirely, green dust particles dancing around the tips of his drenched fingertips. He plants a wet, searing kiss onto your shoulder, his voice holding a low, powerful echo. “Your wish is my command.”

The vibrator cranks up to the maximum setting, making you scream. Baek claps his hand over your mouth before you get too loud, driving his fingers in and out of you. It leaves you confused for a moment. If his hand is covering your mouth and his fingers are pounding into your pussy, who is drawing circles over your clit with the vibrator?

You glance down at the device twirling between your legs, covered in green dust particles that sway to and fro with the repetitive motion. You’re captivated by the magical sight until Baek palms your breast in his hand again, tweaking your nipple until it hardens under his ministrations.

“Good girl,” he breathes over your moans, rubbing his fingertips right into your gspot. “Cream my fingers and I’ll let you come on my cock.”

Your head falls back onto his shoulder with a thud at his words. His free hand caresses your hips and waist while a third slender digit slips into your core, stretching you out. Your hips buck under all the sensations, grinding you roughly against his hard cock still tucked away in his pants.

You’re not sure what does it; his low grunt, relentless fingers, or wandering hand, but one moment you’re quivering over that desired edge, and in the next, the vibrator lands on a sensitive spot and sends stars bursting behind your eyelids.

“Good girl,” Baek murmurs while you shake, kissing behind your ear. “That’s it. Drench my fingers then drench my cock.” His fingers continue to pummel your core, making you twitch and arch your back. You sag back against his chest when the mile long high wears off, trying to catch your breath.

“Are you okay, baby?” He pressed more kisses to the back of your ear, interlocking his fingers together over your stomach and holding you close. “Did that feel good?”

You close your eyes in a mix of adoration and bubbling arousal. “You will be the death of me, I swear.”

Baek chuckles, his rumbling chest making you smile. “We can stop now if you want,” he murmurs, as if he isn’t rock hard. “We’re almost home-”

You tsk with a shake of your head, looking over your shoulder at him. “Don’t you have something else for me?” you purse your lips, palming him, tucking the tips of your fingers under his waistband. “Remember our call?” you whisper against his kiss-swollen lips, managing to maneuver yourself around to straddle his lap again, unzipping his pants and tugging on the hem of his boxers. “How you promised to take me for everyone to see?”

“I-” he grunts, closing his eyes and clenching his jaw when your fingers swirl over his leaking tip, stroking his precum over his cock. “T-that was in the heat of the moment, baby. We’re almost-”

“Don’t you want to?” you pause your ministrations, pleading with your eyes at him. Baek opens his eyes, looking at you from your wide eyes, exposed chest, and the waterfall you can only guess he can see when his eyes drift below. You have to hide your little grin when he twitches in your hand.

Before he can reply, an announcement rings out overhead, and the train doors open. You and Baek share a wide-eyed look before you’re jumping into action. You only have time to grab your missing boot, pull your pants up to your thighs, and stash the vibrator in Baek’s pocket before a man steps onto the cabin of the train. You’re thankful that you wore a long sweater today, nervously smoothing the fabric over your thighs while smiling warily at the unsuspecting stranger, still perched on Baek’s lap.

The tall man settles down on the same side of the cabin, taking a seat at the very end of the row. A twitch against your clit makes you jolt, accidentally grinding your ass on Baek. His cock rests between your folds, pressing on your clit and clenching hole.

You risk a glance back at him, meeting his messy black hair and warning glare. It only makes you grin toothily in response. Carefully watching the stranger slumping tiredly in his seat, you brace your hands on Baek's knees, gliding your pussy over his cock. His dick perks up even more under your movements, his leaking precum causing a wet sound to fill the air around you.

“Baby.” His grip tightens on your hip in warning.

“Please, Master,” you moan only for him to hear, rolling your hips fluidly over his lap. “I wish you’d stuff me with your cock. Fill me up right here.”

“Fuck.” Baek groans, green particles floating up in the space around you. He urges you to lift your hips and presses his cock to your entrance, slowly pulling you down on him. Your mouth falls open, lips trembling from the stretch. His thick cock has trouble fitting in your sensitive walls after your orgasm.

“Come on, baby,” he huffs impatiently, pain and arousal clear in his hushed voice. “You need to ease up if you want my cock in you.”

“E-easy for you to say,” you whisper right back, gasping loudly when he smacks his cock against your clit, rubbing it impatiently. It makes you widen your legs as far as your jeans will allow, letting him slip inside your core with ease. You whimper when he’s ball deep inside of you, gripping his knees for dear life. It’s still a tight fit, something Baek seems to appreciate.

He swears under his breath, helping you move over him. You can feel his gaze transfixed on how your pussy swallows his cock over and over again.

Suddenly, a water tower in the distance catches your eye. You curse, slamming yourself down onto him. “You-” you struggle to get out between suppressed moans, “have to come, Baek.” You pant, circling your hips over him when his cock is tucked fully inside of you. “We’re almost there.”

“I - told you earlier,” he breathes heavily between gritted teeth, meeting you halfway with hurried thrusts. The last of his inhibitions are slipping away. Green dust particles are floating all over the place the more you feel him twitch inside of you. “I can’t - come on demand, baby.”

Oh, wanna bet? you smile merrily, leaning forward to brace yourself against the floor-to-ceiling pole in front of you. “Come inside of me, Baek.” You arch your back to meet his shallow thrusts, steadying yourself the more his thighs shake under you. “I wish you would. I want it. Want to drip with you for days.”

“Baby…” Baek whispers, halting his movements. You wordlessly lean back into his arms when his hesitant hands reach out for you.

The first time you had sex with him, he had made it clear what would happen if he ever came inside of you. Condoms don’t work. Birth control doesn’t either. Thankfully he’s an immortal being with the stamina of a champion who can make love to you for hours on end and still manage to pull out every time.

Genies are a rare species, there are less of them in the world than the fairies hiding away in the enchanted forest. They live for eternity, but there is only one way to expand their population. If they come inside of someone, no matter if they are supernatural or human, they will impregnate them and will give them triplets.

That’s the very reason why Baek always makes you come first. You’ve only felt him twitch once or twice within your walls before he pulls out of you. He doesn’t even risk getting it on your skin in fear that it will land on its target anyway.

The memory makes you smile, how sincere his normally mischievous self was in explaining everything to you. How his melodic voice caressed your ears. As much as you appreciate his concern, it only makes you yearn for him even more. And after three years since you found his lamp in the farthest corner of the library’s storage room, like a mother to a flame, you’re pretty sure he knows what’s up. You’ve made yourself clear. You know what you said, and you meant every word of it.

Baek tangles his fingers with yours, pressing a kiss to the back of your hand. “It’s going to be a lot…” he pauses, his cheeks tinted pink when you look back at him. “And weird as hell.”

“I wish to spend the rest of my life with you.” You turn to rest your cheek against his, squeezing his hand warmly. “No matter how weird it gets.”

Baek’s eyes flash green, with red sparkles in the mix. His cock seems to grow warmer inside of you before he slowly starts rolling his hips up into yours again. You wrap your arm around his neck, tangling your fingers in his hair. His warm breaths wash over your cheek and his grip tightens on your waist when his hips falter. “Are you sure-”

You clamp your walls around him, making his hips stutter. You find the little yelp that he tries to muffle in your shoulder extremely endearing until you feel a powerful vibration erupt in your core. Like a power drill preparing to drill through a wall. Baek holds you down firmly before you accidentally launch yourself off his lap and onto the floor.

The sensation intensifies with every twitch of his cock, making your walls quiver around him. Baek’s grip loosens after a few moments, his head thudding back against the foggy windows with a low groan. Your shaky fingers latch onto his bicep, needing something to steady yourself as his hot, copious cum meets your cervix. The feeling pulls a cry from your lips, your thighs quaking as you come around him.

Baek wraps his arms around your waist to steady you. He breathes heavily on your back as the feeling fades away, planting a kiss over your spine.

“That…” you start breathlessly, your thighs still trembling, your heart laced with confusion. “That was…” You relax back against him, at a loss for words, trying to wrap your mind around it all. Your wide eyes suddenly snap to his, your heart racing in panic. “Your eyes...” you breathe, cupping his cheeks. “Your eyes were red, Baek, what-”

He kisses the back of your hand, holding it to his cheek. “It’s okay,” he murmurs warmly.

You look into his soft brown eyes, noticing the sprinkles of red among the cluster of green particles in the air. “Baek…” You frown, trying to remember what happened during the past forty-five minutes…

He didn’t. He didn’t just-

“Baek,” you clutch onto the front of his shirt, your heart racing in worry, “you didn’t-”

He slowly nods his head, blinking owlishly. As if he didn’t just break a very important rule!

“You granted me four wishes…” the realization dawns on you in waves - why is he smiling? This is serious!

“It’s okay,” he whispers, resting his forehead on yours. He chuckles at the doubtful expression on your face, tucking your hair behind your ear with a raised brow. “You’re my soulmate, hmm?” he smiles, resting his hand on your tummy. “You’re mine, and I’m forever yours.”

Genres : Angst, Spy!

Summary : What will happen when a explosive boyfriend finds out that his girlfriend follow him in his dangerous activities?

words: 822 words

A/N: Hello moonlights! Welcome to my first serie “How to break a heart”, It’s been a while since I’ve written long fics so sorry if it’s not so good, Thank you for reading this!Hope you enjoy, follow me, be a moonlight 🌙

Networks: @knet-bakery @hotpink-ent @superm-net

Park Jisung has always been explosive since he was quite young, and you knew it.

You and jisung have known each other since you were 3 years old, you were neighbors so you guys were always very close to each other, your relationship evolved into another category when you became teenagers and started dating.

Jisung was very affectionate and protective but had zero patience for stupidity and was very explosive, in adolescence he went through several fights due to his sharp tongue , going home all hurt, although explosive jisung was very intelligent and that's why he was recruited to a team of elite spies. Right after graduation Jisung entered the best spy team in the country, in just one mission he managed to raise money to buy a nice apartment for both of you.

Despite jisung being very well paid, his job was, full of secrets and dangerous, he spent a lot of time away from home, sometimes even months. Jisung always tried his hardest to let you know the least about his work, he didn't tell you about what he was doing until you agreed to live with him, but you weren't a fool it was impossible for a bakery worker to raise so much money to an apartment in a well-known neighborhood and buy so many expensive things for you. He didn't tell you much just that he was some kind of spy and that his job was dangerous and he couldn't go into details.

Today Jisung hasn't been home for exactly 2 months now, you know he's alive, he texted you on a disposable phone.

“I'm fine, don't worry, take care. I love you PJS"

You were watching any program that was on TV just to distract yourself from thinking about it when you hear the door close, you get up straight away and see a black hair, that's him.

He's a little startled to see you up so late, but then breaks into a smile.

"Isn't it a little late for you to be awake?"

His black hair is long, he is more thinner although you can still see the muscles in his arms, he looks taller or maybe it's because you haven't seen him in a long time.

You walk towards him, if you want to look him in the eye you have to look up, he pulls you into a hug.

"I returned"

"I thought you were dead"

He laughs but doesn't respond.

After you spent almost hours hugging, when he walked away and said:

"I'm hungry, let's order something and watch a movie!"

You agreed and now you were watching a movie he chose.

"Is that a deer?" You say pointing to the animal that appeared.

"It's an otter, idiot"

He always did that, whenever you made a mistake Jisung was always there to insult you, get you down, that was one of his problems.

You were halfway through the movie when Jisung's phone rings, he goes to the balcony to answer it and after a short conversation, he comes back:

"I'm sorry but it looks like I have an urgent job, as here in the area I'll be back in short time"

And then he disappeared from the apartment, you were always curious to know what exactly he was doing so for innocence you followed him. Jisung went to a dark neighborhood, there was Mark and Jaemin, they walked a little to another alley, another man appeared, they were having a calm conversation until this man pointed a gun at Jaemin, then Jisung and Mark pulled out their guns, you were shocked you had never seen Jisung hold a gun.

The man walked backwards, and at a speed he caught you and pointed the gun at your head.

"Now gentlemes, I wouldn't want to have to kill an innocent girl"

"Let her go let's talk peacefully"

"Hmmm A conversation doesn't seem ideal right now Lee, I want the 20 kg now or she dies."

"Okay that's it, here's the 20 kg now let go of the girl." Mark said, giving the white package to the man who fled soon after”

“The boss will not be happy” Jaemin said

You looked at Jisung waiting for some affection from him, but was met by a furious look.

"You are stupid? Why did you follow me, idiot? Do you know what I do is dangerous and you still follow me? You are an idiot?" Jisung screamed at you

“Dude, I think she's already understood, stop yelling at her” Jaemin continues “I'll take her home you'll talk to the boss”

Halfway through you apologize to Jaemin, and he smiles and says it's okay.

After Jaemin dropped you at home, you started packing, you were tired of everything, Jisung's insults, his absence because of his job.

You left a farewell note and left for good.
