Note: All characters originated from “The Uncanny Counter/Amazing Rumor” except for Y/n. (Sorry mom and dad because instead of paying attention during lectures, I wrote this lil silly fic about a man who doesn’t even exist)

English is not my first language!!! Sorry in advance if I make any grammar and vocabulary mistakes.

Apart from all the evils hunting, So Mun couldn’t recall the last time he had been this anxious. 

Normally, he never held anything against you hanging out with your guy friends. He knew you also have your personal space and it wasn’t necessarily like your entire world needed to revolve around him.  

So Mun trusts you with his own life, he really does. He never once doubted your love for him. But today, something was horribly off.

“Isn’t that Gwan Daehyun from my class?” 

Juyeon habitually pushed her glasses up, vocalizing her thoughts to the friend group. Both Woongmin and So Mun raised their heads at the comment, turning toward the large window.  

“Gwan Daehyun,” or whoever, was a tall and slender-built young man about his age—he presumed. Judging from his figure and his dashing fashion sense, anyone would instantly conclude he was a big catch. But that wasn’t what caught So Mun’s attention the most.  

The man passed by the glass window. Next to him was you, linking arms with him and smiling so cheerfully. 

Even though So Mun wouldn’t admit that something has unpleasantly risen up deep inside his heart upon seeing you being so close to another guy, you were always acting so intimate with him in your relationship, so it was understandable that physical affection was rather a normal way of communicating with you. 

He heard Woongmin’s voice chimming in next to his ear, snapping him out of the trance: “Is that… I’m seeing Y/n, right? Are they friends?” 

“What kind of question is that? If not friends then what are they?” Juyeon cut him off, carefully stealing a glance at So Mun to see if he had any reaction. 

“It was just common sense to ask!”

“Uh-huh, common sense.”

“Hey, what’s with that tone–”

“Guys, we’re in the middle of a cafe, enough with your lover’s quarrel.” A faint smile flashed across So Mun’s face as he tapped his pencil down on the table, trying to get his friends’ attention. He didn’t really care how many friends you have, but seeing such joy radiating from you, he couldn’t help but be curious to know about the man’s identity: “Gwan Daehyun is your classmate?”

Juyeon responded nonchalantly: “In chemistry, but we almost never talked. How did Y/n and he even know each other?”

The typical “I don’t know” hasn’t even slipped out of his mouth, Woongmin was quick to toss him another question: “She didn’t tell you about this?”

So Mun wasn’t quite certain “this” referred to you telling him about the guy specifically or about this entire thing, but he chose to say what felt the most natural: “About hanging out with a friend today? She did.”

His two best friends nodded at the same time, exchanging a subtle look at each other which So Mun was completely unaware of. His concentration was taped on you the entire time, following you as your silhouette slowly melted into the distance. He returned to his sketchbook, throwing all running thoughts behind his head for now. 

This was when it should’ve stopped bothering him. Or he would say, it didn’t actually bother him in the first place. 

Not until he saw what was on your neck. 

At first glance, he confidently supposed it was a mosquito bite. But again, he knew what a mosquito bite looked like, and he even knew better what a hickey looked like on your skin.

On the side of your neck laid a small, reddish stain. As much as he tried to deny the truth flattening in front of him and convinced himself that it was a love bite he'd forgotten he left on you, So Mun knew damn well all the places on your body that he had been marking on, and none of them displayed in such a conspicuous spot. 

Or maybe you just carelessly bumped into something and bruised yourself, or maybe you got burned while using a hair straightener… Yeah, that was probably the reason. He knew you loved him, adored him, even. So why would you ever do such an awful thing behind his back?

“Hey, Y/n.”

You blinked, catching him staring at you from the opposite side of the table with a soft smile: “Hm?”

“How was your day today, I mean, hanging out with your friend?” He asked to start a conversation, already predicting your reply to be positive since the image of you laughing so happily with another man was still imprinted in his mind. 

You smiled in return, acting as casual as possible: “It was pretty nice. We went to get coffee and took pictures and just… you know, the classic friend thing.” 

“Yeah….” He nodded, awkwardness flooded his lungs that it was nearly hard to breathe. As much as he wanted to ask you about the bruise, he was afraid of receiving the answer. What if you think he didn’t trust you?

You gulped and looked down, unintentionally exposing your nervousness. In So Mun’s perspective, you were apparently hiding something from him. He aimed at the bruise again, fighting to conceal how his pupils started burning more and more fiercely on your skin the more he studied it. He hated to jump to conclusions so soon and accuse you of committing something you didn’t do. He knew you loved him. He was fucking sure you loved him. 

Then why did you have to hide it? 

His body ran cold from the way you adjusted your position to excuse yourself, uneasiness enveloped your face when you realized his eyes were fixed on your neck. So Mun watched as his precious placed her elbow down the table with her palm on her cheek, awkwardly building up a cover between his gaze and the love bite that was carved by anyone but him. 

Suddenly, So Mun was launched back to today’s morning, into your warm embrace. You clasped him in a goodbye hug before you both parted ways, whispering an “I love you” like you’ve always done in his ear while he tucked himself into your comfort. You did not have that mark on your neck. 

And now it happened to be a claret, hickey-like stain engraved on you in such a perfect place for an actual hickey to occur, circumstantially right after he caught you hinging arms with a man he’s never seen or heard you talk about. 

Everything crashed. His senses crumpled and his stomach twisted in such a way that he felt physically nauseous.

“What’s that on your neck?” 

Words glided out without thinking. There was no point in hesitating anymore, he just needed to listen to your voice confronting him that he had completely misunderstood the situation, that it was only a discoloration you got by accident, that whatever he was assuming was only an illusion coating his mind. 

“Oh, it’s nothing.”

Your movement stiffened, not too detectable yet, at the same time, not unnoticeable enough to escape his focused stare. Just this small motion of yours was enough to deliver a slap across his face. 

The corners of his lips lifted with no strength, not even sure if it looked convincing to you. He had no clue how to react. It wasn’t like he ever imagined you cheating on him, let alone preparing to face it: “Ah… I see.” 

On your side, you weren’t any better. The forced and bitter smile on his face seized your guts, pouring immense shame down your head. God, you regret the whole thing already. 

“Baby, do you want some water? I’m kinda thirsty.” 

You said, clinging onto the very last piece of your cognition and trying to lighten the mood. The effort went pointless unequivocally as there fell a small pause between you two. So Mun slowly shook his head, silent. 

“Okay, I… I’ll be back in just a min.”

Getting up to your feet, you wanted nothing more than to sprint to the kitchen and take two glasses of water, no matter if So Mun already refused it. Maybe after a breather and something to soothe your dry throat, the clotted mood would soften and that’s when you could disclose the truth to him. 

Waiting no time for you to take another step, a strong grip tied to your wrist as soon as you stood up, condensed around your skin like cement. You quickly saw darkness towering over your vision as an incredible softness sank onto your lips. 

You froze like a deer in headlights, tackled by the submerging desire when a pair of hands snuck around your waist and your mouth was captured securely, almost leaving no room for a muffled gasp to be heard. So Mun’s eyes fastened into yours before he shut them closed, engulfing your lips through the hunger enraging inside himself once your arms had mutually snaked around his neck. 

So Mun was the personification of “loving” when it came to you. Regardless of how needy he was during your make-out sessions, he always put you as his priority and ensured not to overwhelm you with his rising passion. But at this specific moment, you were dazed by his sudden blast of enthusiasm, though your bewilderment was quick to dissolve into pure fever when he drew his tongue along your bottom lip just as skillful as the artist he was, fondling your flesh between his teeth before alighting his mouth onto yours again. 

Your fingers automatically crimped around his hair, gently tugging his curls in a way you knew he could never get enough of. Your little gesture welcomed a quiet groan from your boyfriend, spawning a tightened grasp on your hips. You didn’t recognize how steamy the kiss had progressed until your back collided with the wall.

The room drowned in your intimate noises. His hand’s location switched from your hip to your chin as he nailed you to the hard surface, angling his digits along your jawline. He feasted on your unorganized breathing, eagerly knocking your lips apart with his own like you were a sumptuous banquet. His sweetness erupted through every smallest gap inside your mouth. Your knees turned wobbly while you gripped onto him to keep your balance, panting and whining for mercy since you were practically devoured for what felt like eternity.

You didn’t mind if So Mun might have misinterpreted your “thirsty” for something else but its literal meaning. He was feeding you full. However, the boiling-hot tension was impotent to replace the previous alarm between you two, now adding to the baffling foreboding you secretly felt. 

Colors flowered chaotically through your closed eyelids. No way you could push him away despite your remained oxygen was already sucked dry. As much as you cherished how intoxicating making out with So Mun was, you were beyond relieved when he finally pulled back and showed your strained mouth some pity. 

Your heart bolted madly inside your chest, both exhilarated and puzzled due to the unforeseen shift of sensation. Both of you chased after your jumbled breaths. So Mun supported your balance with his fingers dug into your waist and let you lean against the wall, still silent. 

A coat of haze smeared over your eyesight after the kiss, you weren’t able to see his face clearly from this angle. But just shortly after, you heard him speak again, barely louder than a mumble: “Love…” 

The familiar term of endearment dripped into your ear, carrying a hint of unusual raspiness. So Mun’s voice was as longing as a prayer pleading for his most revered goddess, yet suffocated in boundless desperation and anguish that made your head numb just from hearing it. 

“Did I… I definitely did something wrong, didn’t I?”

Time stopped. 

Something inside your gut ripped apart, tearing down every single bit that made of you as the eeriness and repentance needled through your bones. 

You saw clouds in his reddened eyes. All So Mun needed to do was blink once and the tears would flood down his cheeks uncontrollably. 

Your roaring heartbeat echoed in your head at the sight of his dark coffee irises, now a hollow void of fog and aggrivement. Your voice splintered in your throat as So Mun grabbed your hands and swaddled them in his own, his slightly calloused hands trembling against your skin: “What did I do wrong? Please tell me, love… Tell me everything you dislike about me, I promise I will change.”

Knowing how good-at-heart you were as a person, there wouldn’t be a chance of you going around and dating different men. That being said, maybe he was the reason you let go of him.

And there it was. The look on his face looked exactly like that one of betrayal when he discovered the murder of his parents two years ago. The only difference was that he didn’t seem to be upset at you, he was upset at himself for failing you, for even allowing a thought of leaving to cross your mind.

This was a look you would rather let twenty knives riddle through your organs than ever see in your life. And now you were the one who caused it. 

You didn’t dare to move. Your veins twinged and screamed and begged for his forgiveness but no sound was brave enough to emerge at the moment. You watched as he pressed his face onto your shoulder, dampening that specific part of your shirt despite his effort to bite back from breaking down.

You stuttered, not yet realizing yourself was on the verge of tears as well: “No, baby, it’s—”

So Mun scanned the purplish hue obscuring itself under your hair and the dim light in the room, resentment swelling behind his chest as he choked back a muffled cry: “Am I not good enough? Is it my personality or the way I look? Did I mess up so badly that… you went for someone else?”

“No! No, it’s not like that. You did nothing wrong!” You hurriedly brushed your fingers over his cheekbones, guiding his face to yours as your vision shielded with unshed mist. His hot tears blurred his own skin, somehow felt dreadfully cold and painful when it hit your touch. 

He hesitated, confused and unconvinced: “If not me, then— Why did you…?”

“It was me, love! I was so stupid. I should’ve known…” You hated yourself for coming up with the plan in the first place. Why didn’t you consider the consequences before starting it? That it could hurt him this terribly thinking you broke his faith?

In front of his stunned eyes, the tip of your fingers aggressively rubbed against that so-called “hickey,” each stroke smudging blush powder and eyeshadow all over your digits.

One week ago, 1 p.m., at the crime scene in Eonni’s noodle shop.

“What do you mean you dunno? He never got jealous before?!”

You quietly hissed at Juyeon, whose voice was almost too loud it scared a customer at the next table: “What’s so surprising about it? Does he look like the type to get jealous easily?”

You and the girl were chatting about whatever you could think of to kill time while waiting for So Mun to finish his last minutes of individual training. As luck would have it, you stumbled across the topic of relationships, and it eventually centered on your one and only beloved. 

Woongmin looked up from Junhui’s colorful drawings, looking you dead in the eye: “Not gonna lie, he kind of does.”

“Don’t eavesdrop on us, turn away!” The short-haired girl gestured her hand at her boyfriend, making him roll his eyes with sass and unwillingly obey her command. She turned back to you, lowering her voice this time: “It’s not about looks, but I refuse to believe he doesn’t get jealous at all.” 

You tilted your head, thoughtlessly stealing a sip of her latte: “Um-hm…”

“Seriously, you were never curious about it?” 

You shrugged. You got where Juyeon was coming from. Woongmin’s possessiveness thrived pretty easily to begin with (evidently canon from how sulky he became when she complimented a sketch of your enemy Hwang Pilkwang), and it was always so entertaining to see.

You might’ve or might’ve not wondered what kind of expression your man would show when he got jealous, but well, the idea itself was somehow very fascinating. 

The only time you’ve witnessed him show the slightest hint of protectiveness besides the counter-thing was when a customer asked for your phone number—where he would observe your reaction with a sharp glare at the said person, then smirk proudly when you turned the offer down. Still, as two grim reapers, you stuck to each other like glue almost 24/7—ranging from missions and serving to something as simple as eating and walking, not to mention the countless times you have woken up beside each other. Putting it plainly into words, you had no “private life” for jealousy to evolve.

Hearing your explanation (in which you already altered the “grim reaper” part), Juyeon flashed you a hilariously serious look, for some reason very invested in solving your problem: “That makes sense. So do you want me to help you?” 

You sighed: “I… think?”

“No worries girl, I got you.” She thoughtfully gave you a wink, opening TikTok on her phone as she scrolled down numerous videos, stopping at one to show you: “I was thinking... this. What do you think about a hickey prank?” 

An old-fashioned trick to mess with your significant other, yet always seemed to be effective. You stared at the scene unfolding between two lovers, battling in your mind whether or not you should give it a try: “You have a point, but I doubt he’d believe it. We see each other every day.” 

“Well, all you need to do is pretend to hang out with some guy and come back with a fake hickey.” 

“Damn, that’s genius.” Woongmin’s voice joined you two from afar, one more time getting Juyeon to threaten him with her razor-sharp look. 

“Where am I supposed to find a guy, anyway? My few guy friends either rot away in their schools or aren’t even in the country.” You chuckled at their couple-ly bicker. Speaking of the truth, you found yourself a bit thrilled at the suggestion. You would love to see how adorably pouty So Mun became when he turned possessive. 

Juyeon fancily sipped her coffee: “I know someone who can help. Two days ago, a uni friend of mine coincidentally complained about how badly he wanted to get a reaction out of his black-cat partner who never gets jealous. I guess you both can do each other a favor.”

The plan developed so smoothly. You absolutely could not expect to regret your whole existence just because you surrendered to the heat of the moment: “For real?”

Earning a firm nod from Juyeon, who then gave you her friend’s phone number to further discuss the prank, you mindlessly let yourself loose into the urge. You’ve read somewhere that jealousy can prompt both parties of a romantic relationship to stay connected, which is a good thing. It’s just a small, harmless prank, right? Nothing could go wrong, right?

“We should’ve talked about this during girls’ night, maybe you could pull this prank on Woongmin, too.”

“I can hear you, y’know.”

Pure silence detonated when your explanation died down.

A sour feeling crawled up your body in monstrous shamefulness. You warily waited for his reaction upon finding out he just got caught up in a hurtful prank. 

“So… the whole thing was… a joke?” A rather wounding joke, to be exact. You held your breath and raised your stained fingers up, carefully analyzing his tone while choosing your own response: “Yeah, this hickey is makeup, as you can see.”

“Right…” Based on how long a pause lingered in each sentence, you could tell he was having a hard time gathering his thoughts together. ‘Lost as hell’ would be an understatement: “...and Gwan Daehyun is just Juyeon’s classmate, he doesn’t have anything to do with you?”

“No, he doesn’t. We have nothing to do with each other.” You answered: “We only met up for the first time today through… uh, yeah.” 

He exhaled agitatedly, muttering in disbelief: “And Juyeon told me she had never talked to him before. That sneaky…”

It was nearly ridiculous to think about where the situation was at the moment. If minutes ago you both were strangled by the thickened bitterness of your own reasons, now the entire ambience has reshaped into an awkward one. Confronted by quietness, you gulped, instinctively feeling like you didn’t really have the right to say these words anymore: “Plus… I would never cheat on you.”

Speechlessness floated like ashes in between you and him. 

In reality, the stiffened air only lasted a few seconds, you were nonetheless certain it felt like hours. So Mun blinked a few times, trying to get rid of the left-over dried tears steamed up over his view. He eventually let out a sigh, mumbling under his breath: “Y/n, you’re… impossible.”

You lowered your head, unable to make eye contact with him: “...I’m sorry.”

“”Sorry” won’t do it.” A scoff vaguely arrived from his direction, embedding in a hint of disappointment and irritation as he wiped the dewed corner of his eye one last time: “I really was convinced you’re bored of me already.” 

You clenched your mouth shut, guilt swallowed your voice.

“You know what else you have to do so I’ll forgive you?”

Although the seriousness hasn’t faltered, you wondered whether or not you were delusional out of the blue because you swore he didn’t sound that serious anymore. Your gaze shot up at him, then looked down again and shook your head when you noticed his expression hadn't lightened up.

“You don’t? I think you do.” His warm hand swept across the side of your face, lifting your chin up. You were greeted by a light raise of So Mun’s eyebrows while he airily tapped on his lips with a casual, yet cunning twinkle in his pupils.

Dumbfounded, you delayed for a second to make sure you weren’t fooled by some kind of hallucination, cautiously examining the implication he just dropped as well as his blooming smile: “You… You’re not mad at me?”

“Oh trust me, I am still very pissed off. But you know I can’t full-on stay mad at you.” So Mun shrugged, booping your nose: “Not when you’re this pouty.” 

The burn behind his eyes had stopped being torturous a moment ago, yet you still felt like a criminal knowing you had created such an unpleasant tint on his scleras. You murmured: “The pouty one was primarily predicted to be you.”

“Hm?”

“Nothing.” 

As if your internal self-reproach were audible, he swooped you into his chest, holding you while half-heartedly scolding you: “Just don’t pull these types of pranks on me again. Okay? One more time and I swear, I’m sleeping with Jeokbong-hyung forever.” 

“Yes, I’m really sorry. I didn’t expect it to go this far.” Your arms enclosed him instantly as though they were customized to do so. You nodded against his shoulder, trying to contain a smile when his melodious chuckle filled your ear: “But the sleeping part is up to you. Bunk beds seem pretty cozy.” 

So Mun rolled his eyes playfully, squeezing your cheek between his index finger and thumb: “Is that how you apologize for making your boyfriend cry?”

You cracked up, words unclear by the stretch on your face: “Oh, I’m sorry!”

Laughter echoed through the closed room, which you both preferred this way so much better than the previous heavy and wrenching atmosphere. So Mun nuzzled his nose against yours, whispering flirtatiously: “So what now? Gotta let me forgive you or you’re good?” 

“No I’m not good, so please forgive me.” Heat bursting underneath your skin, tinging a shade of rosiness. You grinned and whispered before tugging blithely on the neckline of his T-shirt. His lips instantly fit onto yours just as perfectly as a puzzle piece. 

A butterfly-like peck expectedly flourished into a hot mess. So Mun’s curls spilled between your fingers, trusting him to perform his magic on you. His scent ghosted your face, sending friction straight up to your mind while your mouth was accompanied by his bewitching wetness, claiming your mouth with impatience to make up for every drop of tears that had rolled off earlier. 

Your body felt weightless when he lifted you off your feet, turning you away from the wall and pushing you to a surface that was much more doughy. Goosebumps enhanced down your body when the soft mattress of your own bed scratched against your back, manipulating a gasp to flee from your throat although the touch was hardly through a layer of fabric, evincing how awfully vulnerable you were in this position. 

Responding to your tiny whimper, So Mun’s chuckle vibrated against your lips. He situated himself between your legs, pinning you flat on the bed and greedily nipping on your bottom lip to get the most reaction out of you. Your delicate flesh laid defenselessly against every stroke and skim of his tongue. It was no argument that he took pride in seeing you so worked up for his affection, and he wasn’t planning to stop until your pantings had stirred into one.  

Your boyfriend only detached his face from yours after a while, beaming happily like it was Christmas morning at the sight of your lips glossy with his essence.

So Mun was one hell of a good kisser in contrast to his innocent face. He knew exactly when to be sugary and when to be spicy. After melting your brain to mud with his hypnotizing techniques, he placed a tender kiss on your cheek, lingering his pinkened lips over the warmth of your skin. He sweetly moved down to your jaw, then your chin as you dreamily threw your head back against the bed sheets.  

His gaze fell onto the feeble “love mark” that had virtually faded away by your vigorous smudging, grinning to himself: “You know, if you wanted to show off a hickey right here, you could’ve just asked me to leave a real one on you.”

You giggled with a slightly hoarse voice, cheeks flushing brighter when he stroked his thumb over the spot, encircling the last remaining makeup stain in a gentle yet teasing manner: “I do love to have one there. But imagine all the teasing we're gonna get when the team finds out…” 

“Understandable.” His stare at the fake hickey was no longer flaming with hatred, instead full of hilarity. Leaning downward, So Mun’s curly hair tickled the place under your chin and the heat of his breath fanned your skin. But you were too distracted by another sensation—a delicious softness printing on your neck—to notice it: “I just… still can’t believe it. You want to see me get jealous that bad?”

Your source of air was cut halfway and you closed your eyes in delight. (We all know) You do. Maybe you were too much of a coward to confess but the man in front of you always looked so fucking hot when he was mad: “I mean… I’m just curious?” 

“Good to know. The next time I see someone flirt with you, I’m gonna beat them up.” Mellow kisses gathered around the makeup stain. So Mun closely examined the way your body trembled underneath him while open-mouthed kisses were planted along the line of your neck, testing the waters and looking for your approval. 

This earned a small giggle from you. You brought a hand up to the back of his head, your digits massaging his scalp as you indirectly turned the green light on at whatever he had in store for you: “Yung is gonna beat you up, my dear.” 

“Oh, Yung can’t do anything to me. I’m the pillar and the Ace, remember?” 

You smiled, about to say something before your thoughts were heavily interrupted by a raid of affection on your flesh, right where the fake hickey originally occupied. But this time, it was no longer “fake.” You thanked your lucky star for suppressing your voice on time because only God knows what kind of unholy sound you’d make at the sudden pleasure. 

Exhaling a deep sigh, you were barely able to hide the shakiness in your voice as So Mun dragged his lips over your neck, painting your skin with a lovely shade of red through his teeth: “More like you and your cocky ass…” 

He laughed: “Yeah, me and my cocky ass, any complaints, baby?”  

His hands gently pressed your shoulders, positioning you firmly against the mattress. Every suck and nibble was followed by a trail of kisses admiring your skin. You could almost feel his marks starting to blossom each time he separated his mouth from your flushed flesh, watching it bounce back with a glowing shine.

You gulped unconsciously on behalf of him pulling the collar of your shirt aside, revealing more of your hidden collarbones for what was about to come next: “...No complaints.” 

Screw it. Maybe you should just let the team tease you however they want later. 

The edges of his lips raised in a satisfied smile, one that never failed to hook you in a love spell. So Mun is magnetic. That’s just the way he naturally is. 

Sweeping a hand under your nape, he allowed your head to fall back in a perfect curve and your neck went unsheltered. His enchanting voice bathed in anticipation as he whispered in your ear:  

“Perfect. Now relax and I’ll do all the work for you.”

His devotion exploded like fireworks in the sky, each glimmer landing on the ground meant another kiss perched down on your skin. Your evening ended in So Mun’s embrace, loving you and cuddling you until the night had gone by. 

You resulted in a cycle of wearing turtleneck tops constantly for three weeks straight, whether or not it was chilling outside or you were one step away from passing out in your own pool of sweat during training. To the point the other counters were highkey concerned, like, damn, what if you actually unalive due to overheating? (you won’t.) 

This is all because every time your amazing boyfriend noticed his garden of cherries on your skin had slightly faded away, he’d sneak you into whatever secluded spot he could find and plant a fresh, brand new one on you, right onto the same spots.  

But since it was THE So Mun initiating the act so who’s gonna complain? Not you, obviously.

Thank you sm for bearing with me til the end i know this fic is long (and OOC) (ﾉ´∀｀*) Hope you enjoyed it!!

Oooooh my gosh, I got to do my very first video call ever, and it was with my ults! One minute goes by SO FAST, but I'll treasure this call forever. I told Yongguk that I've been a BABY since debut, and that B.A.P has dones so much for me, so I just wanted to thank him for everything. He seemed so genuinely touched, and how he replied by saying that these moments (getting thanked like that) were special made my heart so incredibly full. I was also going to ask about how Tigger was doing, but despite having notes ready, I blanked entirely and forgot to look at them. That's where the "see me" moment happened, and gosh, he's such an amazing soul! For Daehyun, he opened immediately by pointing out my albums behind me, and his reaction to them made me smile so much it hurt! I mostly just got to tell him I was a singer, and his voice has been a huge influence on me, which you can see in the gifs above. He also seemed really touched, and I'm so glad I could give him that. He's taken such a leap coming back with the troubles he's been having, and I just wanted him to know how much BABYz appreciate and love him. Again, I meant to ask about Ganji, but forgot to check my notes lol. For Jae, I'm afraid I may have been speaking too fast in general to him. I kept having to remind myself to slow down when he got a confused expression, and I felt bad about it. I asked him if he planned to do a solo album after his musical, and he said that he doesn't plan to right now. I told him that whenever he does, I'll be looking forward to it. Then there was an awkward pause, because again, I blanked, but I did get to tell him I've been a BABY since debut, which seemed to make him happy! Jongup was such a sweetie! I thanked him for getting the four of them back together for Curtain Call, and told him that I was so grateful. I also complimented his hair, because gosh, it looks so good! Then he noticed the albums as well, and I showed him like I had Dae, and he was also quite impressed haha! His little eyebrow raise at the end of his heart was the cutest thing! I know it's not a lot, but I hope that this recounting makes some BABYz out there smile at least a bit. I've been following B.A.P for so long, and they've meant so much to me, and this experience only made me love them more (if that's possible). I have no words to express the fullness of my heart right now, so I'll leave it at that!

would daehyun let me pull his hair,, i need to know

If that answers your question, yes! Dae-Hyun wouldn't be opposed to his darling pulling on his hair, but it's probably best to let him know beforehand, otherwise you might get a reaction like this~ //Mun Kiki

Cute bonus of flustered Dae-Hyun!

12:25 - Time of love

Genre: meet cute, fluff, angst if you squint

Word count: 1.5k

Pairing: kindergarten-teacher!Seonghwa x reader

Warnings: a kiss, pet names, reader doubts hwa a bit but it all goes away pretty fast, possible grammar mistakes? i dont think there is something else to add aodnlala please lmk if i missed anything

Taglist: @shakalakaboomboo, @bluehwale, @theficblog, @bluisheye93, @pinkimingi, @ssaboala

Being a kindergarten teacher was something Park Seonghwa has always loved—but maybe something, or rather someone, made the dedication grow even bigger when it came to the red haired boy's job.

He was so patient with every little one who stepped inside the dreamy room (the one he has personally decorated in his first year of being a teacher for the babies), and now, in his second year, he couldn't be happier with his achievements—despite being often mistaken with a guy who just wanted to make fun of the principal, pretending he was a teacher; though, even with all the happiness he felt while working with them, he also felt like a piece from the puzzle of his fulfillment was missing, and he was wondering what exactly, but that was way before he met you. Love was absolutely missing from the boy's life, his friends teasing him about that with every occasion, but he stayed silent everytime, a little smirk stretching the corner of his lips as he hoped you would be the last piece of his completion.

You two have first met on a rainy day, when your aunt couldn't make it to your nephew so you had to go pick him up yourself. You still remembered how sad the sky was, pearly tears coming from the wadded clouds as you were running inside the building, trying to protect yourself as much as you could.

"Hwa, my mom is not here yet…" Daehyun, your nephew, sighed, tears beaming at the corners of his eyes.

Seonghwa scooped the toddler in his arms, poking his nose and smiling when the reaction was returned by the younger: "She will be here in no time, buddy. Don't worry."

As soon as you found the classroom your nephew was supposed to be in, you entered it and pressed your back against the wooden door, catching your breath. You threw a small look at your watch, as a little gasp escaped your mouth: 12:25. You were angry, you really wanted to scold your aunt for making last-minute plans when she had a kid to pick up, but when you looked up and saw a comforting smile greeting you, everything got erased from your mind. A red head was standing in front of you, handing you a towel as you got too distracted with staring; some of the messy strands were resting on his forehead, accentuating his pink lips, and the small blush that adorned his cheeks when he made eye contact with you. There was no way this man was the teacher, right?

The said not teacher (as you thought) was a bit shocked too, meeting the eyes of an unseen, but a very pretty person, instead of who he was actually expecting.

"Y/N!" your nephew screamed happily, coming straight to you and grabbing your legs in a hug.

You smiled a bit, looking at the stranger in front of you and finally accepting the towel from his hands.

"Rain got pretty heavy, huh?" he asked, his sweet, yet deep voice resonating in your ears.

"It did… thank you for the towel," you said and he nodded softly, before you asked him another thing—one that he expected, but it still led him to burst into a bright laughter: "Where is the teacher?"

"Y/NNNN, he is the teacher!" your nephew said, looking at you as your eyes widened.

Your aunt has mentioned that Daehyun's teacher was young, though you didn't imagine him to be that young—this man was probably your age. You should have thought about it, but instead, here you were, face red in embarrassment.

"Don't worry about that, Y/N; it happens everytime." he said calmly, loving the way your name stretched his lips. "I'm Seonghwa, nice to meet you."

You gave him a small smile, nodding as you two shook hands.

"So, do you need a ride home?"

You really needed one, hence you accepted it—and there you were today, picking up your nephew for the nth time while laughing with Seonghwa about your day.

"Y/N, Seonghwa always brags about how pretty you are." your nephew laughed softly, not fully understanding what that was supposed to mean at his fragile age of five, yet knowing it had to mean something since the compliment painted your cheeks in a crimson red.

Anyone would notice it; the way his eyes sparkled whenever you laughed at one of his jokes, or the way he looked at you with so much attention. And the smiles, oh, the sweet smiles he gave you every time you stepped into his little shelter. He was in love with you, and he hoped you felt the same.

"He's right, Y/N," Seonghwa added, loving the impact he had on you. This was his lucky chance. "Since I can't stop thinking about you… would you like to go on a date with me?"

You had no idea how much you needed to hear this, but you knew it was right; thus, you accepted his offer once again.

Seonghwa had quite a tiring day, which is why he decided to sleep a bit before the special date, not daring to text you and cancel it. He knew that as soon as he would see you, he would feel better. Little did he know, though, that his alarm had other plans. 

The scenery of the place where you decided to meet was absolutely beautiful; the soft breeze was screaming spring, while the petals of the blooming trees were landing gracefully on the cold pavement, creating a warm, fragrant carpet made out of little flowers. You settled on a wooden bench, lips curling in bliss at the thought of spending your evening with Seonghwa. You looked at your watch, noticing he was a bit late. Quite weird for a teacher, you thought, but decided to let him get away with it, thinking that he probably had something in his mind. You waited and waited, but when the watch indicated that he was one hour late, you kinda lost your patience. Was he joking? Did he make fun of me? Your thoughts started to invade your head, and you let yourself fall in the dark abyss of overthinking; you needed to leave, before you could embarrass yourself even more. You got ready to do so, almost reaching the entrance of the park, when you could hear someone calling your name. 

"Y/N, wait!" Seonghwa said, running until he could finally face you. "I'm sorry, I was really tired and I fell asleep…" he said, regret obvious in his now trembling voice. 

Despite the anger you felt for him before, it seemed to dissipate into the void when you looked into his eyes—his beautiful eyes, the same ones that looked at you with so much love, begging for your forgiveness now. 

"You could have just canceled it." you said, not wanting him to overwork himself. 

"Absolutely not! I already screwed up big time, but let me make it up to you." he smiled sweetly and tucked a hair strand behind your ear, while handing you a big bouquet of roses. 

He really never failed to impress you, ever since the first time you entered his joyful classroom, making your way to his heart at the same time—and he definitely knew how to make your heart jump as well. You took the flowers and gave him a big hug, your hands resting around his neck while he squeezed your waist with his own. 

"You look handsome today, Hwa." you smiled, booping his nose when you saw him getting shy at the nickname you gave him; he had to make it even. 

"You look even prettier, love," he said, getting closer to your face as you both closed your eyes. "Is it okay if I kiss you?" he made sure, caressing your face softly, fingertips resting on each side of your cheeks.

"Don't waste more time." 

Your lips brushed softly over each other's, locking into a tender kiss. Joy bubbled up inside of your chests as you intertwined your fingers together, giggling softly while rubbing your noses together. Maybe the date didn't start as you expected it to, but it definitely ended better than you would have imagined. 

"My friends would be so shocked to find out I have a lover!" Seonghwa squealed happily, while the two of you walked down the alley of the park. 

"You didn't ask me, though?" you teased, hitting his shoulder playfully. "But it's okay, I will. Will you be my boyfriend, Park Seonghwa?" you smiled, placing your hands on his shoulders as you looked at him. 

"Gladly, sweets." he answered, placing a loving kiss on your forehead, linking his arm with yours. 

You couldn't be happier for the day your aunt sent you to pick up your niece, thanking everyone for the little encounter you've had with your boyfriend. You would be more than happy to be on each other's side now, watching as the two of you grow inside the nets of your chosen destiny, together. 

[khiphop-discussions]

Ok so full disclosure, I don't really listen to Yongguk's solos that much. I've heard (I think) every song he performed tonight at least once BUT I was not super familiar with any one song. I meant to listen to the setlist but this week was busy and I didn't get around to it.

So why did I go? Because I never got the opportunity to see B.A.P but Yongguk was always my bias so I wanted to at least go see him. Also, I did a review on the "3" EP and it wasn't bad.

Long story short, I had a GREAT time. Even without knowing pretty much ANY of the words! He's such a great performer and the songs are GREAT live. His fanservice is next level too! I think the only person whose fanservice matches his is Changjo from Teen Top (and probably iKon cause they be in the crowd hugging people and stuff). I'm definitely gonna be listening to those songs a lot more now.

I cried during "I Remember" I don't even know for sure why. I never really cared for that song too much back in the days. But I guess hearing Daehyun (my other bias in B.A.P; I guess it's like "main" and "lead" bias but idk which guy gets which label LOL) and it just overall being a throwback to B.A.P.

Then the above picture. he was so adorable. He gave me a side hug for the picture but when he was taking it, he accidentally turned the camera off and I had to set it back up so I got some extra hugging time LOL. He said, "Thanks for coming, have a great night". My plan was initially to tell him "You're so handsome. Thanks for coming" but I never got to say it cause I guess I got too nervous once I got in front of him LOL. Anyway, after the picture, I was so giddy and smiling so I kinda turned my head away from the people in line still cause it was kinda embarrassing LOL but I'm sure they saw me. While in line everybody was basically watching the people who just went to see their reactions. One person was crying when they walked back! Awww!

Anyway, it was a good day! I honestly regretted buying the tickets. I was REALLY tired because I got like one hour of sleep the night before and work has been so busy this month so I've been kinda burnt out and drained. I kinda wanted to just stay home. However, I'm SOOOO glad I went! I think I would have regretted missing him since I also regretted missing B.A.P. This was such a good experience!

NEWKIDS NEWDREAMS 001

SCHEDULE TYPE: VARIABLE SCHEDULE RESTRICTIONS: Unless stated otherwise, participants are still expected to take part in the TRAINEE MISSION

on JANUARY 20, the following trainees are contacted by their head coach to tell them that they will need to join a special meeting taking place the NEXT DAY at 2PM:

@lgcbk

@lgcxnoeul

@lgcsaem

@lgcwenjun

@lgcyichen

when the five trainees are let in the meeting room on JANUARY 21, they are greeted by a surprising group of people, already seated and waiting for them;  KIM HYUNCHEOL (the trainees' head manager), SEO YOUNGJAE (kim hyuncheol's assistant), PARK JEONGAN (current CEO), LEE ISEUL (head creative director) and LEE YONGSEOK (DBSD DAEHYUN's manager). after the trainees have sat down themselves, PARK JEONGAN takes the lead of the meeting: "for most of you, it's your first time meeting some, so let us introduce ourselves" one by one, they introduce (or reintroduce) themselves. "you must be wondering why the 5 of you have been called here, so let's cut to the chase." he continues on, rather seriously. "ONE YEAR AGO, we introduced to our BOARD MEMBERS, who we thought would be the NEXT GENERATION of LEGACY through a SHOWCASE. today, only one of the trainees selected at the time is here in this room." he opens a hand towards HAN NOEUL. "this goes to show you that our NEXT PHASE has been in the works for a long time now." he leans over in his chair, crossing his fingers together, arms resting on the table. "you'll therefore understand why we want to proceed with caution with this new project." he pauses to look at each of the boys present in the room. "the 5 of you have been selected for it. titled 'NEWKIDS NEWDREAMS', this project should see the launch of a NEW PERMANENT GROUP, ideally, by the end of the year." he raises a hand to forestall any question and even reaction. "while none of you will have to go through the TV SURVIVAL FORMAT of FUTURE DREAMS, this is still an offshot of FUTURE DREAMS and you'll have to prove your worth.

the 'NEWKIDS NEWDREAMS' project will be a YOUTUBE CHANNEL that will follow a PREDEBUT TEAM of TRAINEES from their formation to their debut. which means SOME NEW MEMBERS will be added and some CURRENT MEMBERS could leave. the trainees will be divided in TWO GROUPS:

CORE MEMBERS (BAEK BYEONGKWAN, HAN NOEUL, XUE YICHEN): members currently set to be part of the debut group

TRIAL MEMBERS (KURAMOTO MISAKI, LAI WENJUN): members currently on trial, should their performance during the trimester satisfy the coaches, they will be moved to the core group

NEWKIDS NEWDREAMS SYSTEM

congratulations to the 5 of you for being selected for this project ! as mentioned, this has been in the works for over a year, and we're happy to finally launch it !

as mentioned, the predebut period of the group will be documented on a YOUTUBE CHANNEL to be launched to the public in Q2 2024 (which means the boys will need to keep the details of this project secret until further announcements).

the title of the showcase was actually a hint to this new project ! 'THIS AIN'T FANTASY' because this new group would be rooted in the PRESENT and not in FANTASY like 'FUTURE DREAMS' and it's PROJECT ORIGIN counterpart. as such any NKND member who have participated in LGC BOYS' releases will be considered to exist in TWO SEPARATE VERSE. this will be explained further down the line after the formation has been finalized.

NKND functions with a CORE MEMBER vs TRIAL MEMBER system to make it easier for those uninterested to drop out of it, and those interested to grow their character !

CORE MEMBERS: as long as you do the requirements for NKND, you'll be kept in the group. should you want to drop out, simply ignore the requirements. one missed trimester will move your character to the TRIAL MEMBERS group.

TRIAL MEMBERS: to be moved to core members, trial members must do the requirements for NKND as well as the trainee mission for one trimester. if you wish to drop out of the project, simply ignore the NKND requirements for a trimester and the character will be dropped

** as you might have noticed, the NKND requirements are ADDITIONAL to the REGULAR TRAINEE MISSION, tough, at times, some parts of the missions might be locked from them **

NEW KIDZ ON THE BLOCK

the basis of a new group is to introduce those part of it and this is what the first tasks of the boys will be about ! as this is content for a YOUTUBE CHANNEL, the tasks are divided in 'videos' that the boys will have to film:

NEW KIDZ ON THE BLOCK: DBSD'S DAEHYUN has produced and written the THEME SONG for the youtube channel, titled NEW KIDZ ON THE BLOCK, it will be rerecorded with every members change until the final line up is decided ! the same will be done for the video performance (view lyrics here)

NEWKID PROFILE: facing a camera, each boys will be asked the following questions: 'between dancing, singing, rapping, producing and lyrics writting, which skill do you want to be recognized for?', 'which role(s) would you ideally like to have in the final lineup?', 'on which other youtube show would you like to appear?', 'what's your ideal concept?', 'is there a concept that wouldn't suit you?', 'as an idol, what do you want to achieve?', 'is there anything you would like your group to be known for?'

SHOW US YOUR BEST: each members will record a solo performance* demonstrating what they are best at in terms of skills (singing, dancing, rapping and/or instuments are accepted)

DREAM PERFORMANCE: each members will record a solo performance* of the kpop song of a boygroup they would've wanted for themselves

*only songs released by legacy artists or released by any artists BEFORE january 2022 are eligible

OTHER

please note that the current members have all been moved to the same DORM ! when submitting your form, you will also be allowed to submit 3 STAGE NAME SUGGESTIONS if you wish for your muse to have a stage name!

REQUIREMENTS

NEWKIDS PROFILE: write a 300+ words solo (minimum of 50 words per questions) about being interviewed for +5 SKILL POINTS, +5 NOTORIETY !

HI can you explain me what is going on with Daehyun? he always has made music even when BAP had a forced hiatus because the lawsuit, he went by himself and kept singing therefore I don't understand why he doesn't seem to care anymore. he said he went through bad things but again even in BAP lowest he kept singing. plus is his hyung from his vlog a partner bussiness? the photoshoot and photocards seem so.

hmm, well we’re all just speculating here because there’s nothing official out - but if there are issues with his current (in the process of making it his former?) management he probably just needs space and a well-earned break.

In my opinion, it’s a totally natural reaction to want do something completely, creatively different from something you have been doing for years.

Of course he’s a wonderful singer who loves music - like he still sings frequently and talks about music during his vlogs and lives - but Daehyun isn’t a one-dimensional person - he obviously wants to explore new opportunities and experiences - and I’m so glad that he is able to do that with a person / people he clearly likes and trusts.

He said himself that he’s enjoying doing what he’s doing and his fans enjoy his little adventures - and it’s true, we do!

I hope everyone keeps supporting him and his newer content - it’s so fun and really well done.

So don’t worry too much, he’s such a talented, well-adjusted, personable person - and so hardworking in everything he chooses to do - he’ll always do well ^^

Kpop title track ranking: B.A.P

In this series I’ll be ranking kpop groups/soloists title tracks based on my taste.

Because the upcoming comeback is nearing, B.A.P and title track ranking came to my mind at some point. Then after some further encouragement from @bbcblackjack I figured I really should do this. Let's see how many surprises there are this time around.

1004 (Angel) - The song that single handedly made me fan of theirs. And it's still as lovely as it was then and number 1 spot is still the only correct one for it.

One Shot - I listened to most of the title track a few weeks ago and already then it was very clear to me that One Shot is one of the songs that has stood the test of time and is still as brilliant as it was when it was released. I always liked it but I have to say I appreciate it now more than ever. Truly a classic for a reason.

Honeymoon - This was the biggest positive surprise to me. I don't think I cared all that much about Honeymoon when it came out but now I'm fully sold on it. What a glow-up!

Wake Me Up - This just works so so well. Full marks, no notes. Just personal preference preventing it from going to the absolute top of the list.

That's My Jam - Now hear me out. This has no right to be this high with me knowing the lyrical content. However, it's a certified banger and with my lack of Korean language skills I can just choose to ignore them and that's what I do here xD

Rain Sound - This one has always been quite high on my unofficial B.A.P rankings and it still holds up well. Lovely and sad breakup banger, what's not to like.

Young, Wild & Free - It was such an impactful comeback at the time. And it really works as a song even now years later.

Badman - This one I have the most vivid memory of listening to very early on in my kpop finding days thanks to @bbcblackjack recommending this one. Definitely wasn't an immediate hit with me but it grew on me and it still seems work.

Coffee Shop - A pleasant one that still holds up.

Stop It - I have to say that I had clearly just forgotten about this cutesy side of B.A.P xD However, this one clearly works for me for some reason.

Skydive - Let's start by admitting that this was originally about to be on the bottom end of the list as it got pretty much no reaction from me on the first listen after years. But I had to come back to it and this seems more fitting spot for it. And shout out to that music video, if you haven't seen it I can only recommend watching it.

Warrior - Not gonna lie it's a dope way to debut. Not one I reach out for though.

Power - Another dope one that I just don't go for.

Feel So Good - Just sound-wise this should go at least a bit higher but lyrics drop it for me.

Hurricane - I know I used to like this quite a bit but it hasn't aged well enough for me to put it any higher than this, unfortunately.

Crash - This one threw me into a loop as I listened to these in chronological order. Like what happened here. How they went from No Mercy to this cutesy lovey-dovey song? I have no idea. Cutesy B.A.P seems to also be a double edged sword for me and this one seems to be one that belongs to the bottom end of the list.

Hands Up - I just have no connection with this one. I listened to it when it came out, was disappointed by it and never went back. Now listening to it didn't change my mind enough to pump it up any higher than this. The fact that it is more fresh and interesting sounding than the next couple helped it not end up on the bottom though.

No Mercy - Now, No Mercy was really tough one for me to start liking at all back in the days. Eventually I came around to it a bit but I still have to say I clearly prefer others above it.

Where Are You? - It's sweet and all but it just never left much of an impression on me as a song. The music video is really cute though!

B-side shout outs: I Remember (Yongguk ft. Daehyun version) - Absolutely gorgeous song. And the Daehyun version was the one I heard first so I'm biased towards this one. The one with Yang Yoseob in it is great too as is to be expected. What the Hell - One of their many songs with some social commentary. Save Me - This one is used in the 1004(Angel) music video and that made me originally search this one out. It's a great dark type of song. Blind - Your sad love song about getting cheated on.

🎤 allkpop: 4 members of B.A.P reveal their 'CURTAIN CALL' MATO Animation teaser for comeback

Four members of B.A.P have confirmed their comeback and unveiled an exciting new teaser.

As reported, members Moon Jongup, Bang Yongguk, Jung Daehyun, and Yoo Youngjae are set to make a grand return with their EP album, 'CURTAIN CALL.' The teaser showcases their iconic MATO (from "matoki") animations, evoking nostalgia for B.A.P's vibrant promotions during their active years from 2012 to 2019.

In the comments section, fans who have eagerly awaited the group's return are expressing their joy with reactions such as: "Screaming but also crying," "Daehyun's voice is back," and "WE ARE SO BACK TO MATO PLANET."

Their highly anticipated EP will be released on August 8 at 6 PM KST.

What's your reaction?

[unfinishedjulyrain]

“ look at me. “ [ Daehyun -> Himari ]

look at me・❥・@dencesin ( closed ! )

send “ look at me. “ for my muse’s reaction to yours grabbing mine by the chin and forcing mine to look at them during a tense / highly emotional moment.

Her parents were not even in the same country, yet why did she feel their intense presence through the video call as if they were right next to her? Initially, Himari did not want to answer at all but having Daehyun by her side gave her the strength she needed. Otherwise, Himari would have not managed to endure the entire ( one sided ) conversation of five minutes. Yet when she eventually gathered up the courage to say no, to stand up for herself and refuse to let them belittle her own daughter, they said the one thing that made her go completely numb: "Then we don't have a daughter anymore." The video call ended but Himari seemed unable to move, you could feel the heaviness surrounding her at once, tears shed for parents that did not want her. Only his voice and the words Daehyun said next reminded Himari of a place where she belonged so feeling his hand under her chin, the firm yet gentle touch, were enough to make her fall into his arms.

[imamxdel]

Harper's reaction if she ever catches Daehyun crying.

Harper didn't know her heart could hurt this bad. She didn't know how she was supposed to react when they'd gotten the news his parents had passed away suddenly in a car accident, knowing the relationship between him and his family was strained and he felt no love towards them. That didn't mean it would make the passing any easier, and Harper had been stunned to cry, but had offered what support he'd let her give.

So to catch him in his office with the door closed, it scared her. She could hear his cries through the heavy wood and pushed it out of the way to see her boyfriend sobbing.

"Oppa..." She didn't like seeing him as this. He was always the strong one, the supportive one, and despite their "massive" age difference as he always called it, they were still two partners in a relationship. She'd never been the one to take care of him, so she swallowed thickly and sank down on the floor in front of the chair he sat on and held her hands on his knees.

"We'll get through this," she said, managing to lift one of those hands and wipe away his tears with the back of her palm. "We'll respect what they wanted." The funeral was still in the process of being planned -- it was as if his parents had already done most of it in their will. Down to the very flowers they wanted on display and, to their dismay, Daehyun was their only living heir. He now had all the assets they'd left and had to continue the family image, however perfect it really was.

Harper didn't feel like she was doing a good job at making him feel better. "If I...was bigger, I'd hold you," she said. "I wish I could..." Opting to crawl in to his lap instead, straddling his waist, Harper tried her best to hug him. It was so instinctive of her to bury her face against his neck and be the little spoon, but she tried her best, pulling his head down on her chest and pressing her arms on him. It kept him grounded against her.

"Please don't cry," she begged. Harper was doing quite well not getting emotional herself. His parents were worthy of her tears. "When the funeral is over and all the paper work is done, we can go start packing up their home...get it cleared old. Have you...decided what we'll do with it? It seems like a lot, but we'll do it."

Daehyun stared at Wooyoung after the kiss, eyes rounded in confusion and shock. "I... said... kiss Rocky?" Had he said something else? Or maybe Wooyoung confused the him with himself? The lawyer deeply confused by the actions of the younger, running a had through his hair. Clearing his throat he shook the thoughts. "Well did you get all your kissing out of the way then?"

Wooyoung bit down on his bottom lip to hold back his laughter at Daehyun's reaction. As he thought, their confused expression was completely worth it. Stroking Rocky's head, he hummed in brief thought at their question. "I wouldn't say I got all of it out of the way, but this will do for now." He nodded his head firmly before he let his laughter escape. "Hyung, the look on your face was priceless. You didn't hate it though, right?"

❝ it's dangerous, a close call, holding on by a thread

solo related jihoon’s reaction to don’t doing well on the charts date: september 4th 2022 song choice: don’t word count: 495 notes: jihoon is not excited about next year at all, but he knows his manager only wants the best

jihoon is sat on one of the make up chairs backstage, getting ready for their los angeles stop. first day as well, which was a bit more stressful if he had to be honest. when you did two days at the same time, there was always something that really scratched his brain with  mild worry. he is just on his phone, scrolling through insta, going on naver, anything to keep himself busy as he gets his hair done. finishing touches or whatever, there wasn’t that long to go before the concert started. 

he is busy, pretends to be busy, but he notices daehyun staring at his intensely through the mirror, he would have ignored it, if it wasn’t for his shit eating grin. it’s enough to make jihoon pay attention to him.

“what did you sell a part of my soul for now?“ the idol asks, getting a chuckle from the hairstylist as she continues to curl specific strands of his hair.

“you make me sound like the devil.“ his manager sighs, but shuffles closer and holds his phone out for jihoon to read. “i was just looking at the charts out of curiousity, you know.“ oh, so he was looking at how don’t was doing… jihoon feels his mood sour almost instantly. it takes a bit of psyching up for jihoon to actually look at the screen, a but reluctant.

catalyst hadn’t been doing great in terms of charting lately. by lately, he means more than a year now, but he couldn’t really do much. so he expects don’t have have plummeted in the depths of the charts as well, already thinking of an apology to send to minjung considering her solo career was doing great.

jace and minjung’s portal collaboration “don’t” debuted at #86 before rising to #2 in its second week. “oh?“ he says, obviously surprised as he reaches to the phone, almost snatching it out of daehyun’s hands. 

“what the fuck..“

“language.“

“you haven’t edited this have you-“

“what type of monster do you think i am-“

“i am asking because it was like in the top 100 last week, what do you mean 2nd place?“

“well, obviously people are listening to your collab, jihoon.“ daehyun hisses out and snatches his phone back. the excitement however, almost dies quicker than jihoon can thrive in it. he knows what’s gonna happen next. he is very much aware of gold stars tactic with him, his manager has been on it since day one if he had to be honest.

“you’re not gonna push me for a solo, are you?“ there is the potential to find dread in his voice.

daehyun’s reaction is crystal clear, a tight lipped smile, a slap on jihoon’s back followed by a shrug “jihoon, you are doing great, okay? i will never fight for you to do something, unless i know you will absolutely ace it.“ the idol can’t help but physically cringe, but his manager laughs and pats his back again.

next year.. was going to be a packed one.
