"Soul Of Liberty"

Chapter 2

Later that night Dean and Maria spent the night in bed. After their sexual activities, Maria wakes to go to the bathroom and comes back to Dean muttering in his sleep, finding that she was not pleased to hear what her boyfriend had said.

“(Y/n)…” He uttered softly which made Maria shift uncomfortably where she stood. It was quite but there was no mistaking what poor Maria had heard her love had said in her sleep. Her name, Dean had said his ex-wife’s name while his current girlfriend was sleeping right next to him. She didn’t know what to do at that point. Should leave the room and sleep someplace else or just bare it for the night?

‘Maybe I am just overreacting. It was a one-time thing.’ She thought to herself as she got back under the covers and wrapped herself in Dean’s arms, slowly falling back into a blissful sleep.

Unfortunately for the ‘happy couple”, things didn’t smooth out after that.

Dean had began to be more distant from Maria lately. He grew more irritated when she was bothering him while researching for a hunt by asking if they were going on a date sometime soon. He would apologize after, but soon fall back into those same patterns, that it was really starting to get to her. She noticed that he came home later during his trips to the bar and made Sam drive because he would come home drunk.

What else was that he still would watch the news related to the Avengers and (Y/n). It was almost like an obsession for him. either he was waiting to see her screw up or that maybe he was genuinely concerned that (Y/n) might get killed. There was no way for Maria to know. Either way, it was becoming unhealthy.

Then the next week, she saw something that made her heartbeat stop. She accidently saw Deans wallet open on the floor as she was doing laundry one day. She picked it up and saw a photo that was sticking out from it’s pocket. Curiosity got the best of her and she pulled it out. Her eyes grew wide as she saw a picture of (Y/N) on Dean’s Impala when they were younger. Her heart raced at an unhealthy rate that she was thinking she might break a rib. After all this time, he still had feelings for her, no matter how much he said she’s history and even after she hurt him so badly. Being so shocked at the fact Dean kept a picture of his ex-wife, Maria didn’t notice a pair of forest green eyes looking at her from the doorway.

“Baby? Have you seen my wallet?” Dean uttered, with concerned in his eyes making Maria turn around to meet his gaze. The green-eyed hunter then saw Maria holding the photo of (Name) in her hands along with his wallet. “Honey, please like me ex-”

“Why do you still have her picture, Dean?” The Latin woman demanded as she was starting to lose control over her emotions.

“Maria, just calm down. It’s not what you think.” Dean walked closer to her, but she stepped back away from him.

“Why?! You said you two were over! You said that she broke your heart so badly that she would never have any room in your life again! You told me you hated her guts and that she was never the one for you!” Maria yelled as she as she held up the photo of the (H/c) woman. “and yet, you can’t seem to forget about her.”

Now Dean was also starting to lose his cool from Maria’s outburst.

“She was my wife, Maria.” Dean gritted his teeth as he tried to defend himself for keeping (Name)’s photo. “She was the only woman I have ever married. The one I thought that I would have children with and grow old together if one of us didn’t die from hunting. I thought the world of her!”

“Well, apparently you still do, Mi Corazon. Seeing as you are practically obsessed with the woman that broke your heart.” She said spitefully as she grabbed her coat and walked out of the room with Dean following her.

“Where the hell are you going?!” Dean shouted at his girlfriend walking up the steps of the bunker.

“Out! I need time to think!” Maria shouted back and opened the door to leave the bunker, slamming it shut.

Dean knew he should go after her. He was a good boyfriend after all and he loved Maria with all his heart. But, something stopped him from doing it. ‘Maybe she just needs some time.’ He thought and then went back to his room and noticed his brother and friends watching him with concerned looks on their faces. He shrugs it off and walked to the garage to get to his baby and drives to the nearest bar.

The next morning, Dean awakes as the sun shined on his face. He rises with what seemed to be the biggest hangover he ever had. The hunter knew he had gone overboard with the whiskey, beer and jello shots in order to forget his fight with his girlfriend. He looked down at himself and saw that he was indeed naked and not alone. He slowly turned his head and saw what looked like the waitress he was talking to last night and she also laid naked. He looked down at her and realized how much she looked his ex-wife.

“Oh God.” Dean’s eyes grew wide at the realization at what he had just done. He cheated. He cheated on Maria with a complete stranger. Never in his life he never felt so sick to his stomach, so disgusted with himself. Not sense he caught (Name) and Sam together.

“(Name)…’” He gritted his teeth at thought of that night, how much he hated her for what she did and now…she had turned him into a cheater like her.

When he got to the bunker, Maria was back home and ready to work things out. But as soon as she hugged Dean, she smelled the perfume on him and her heart broke. Dean tried to explain and blamed the fact that he was drunk and was a one-time thing, begging with tears on his eyes for her to stay, just like (Name) had. Maria wouldn’t hear it. She said they were over and left the bunker, never to be seen again.

To say Dean was pissed was an understatement. A good portion of it was at himself, but also at (Name).

“She did this to me.” He took out his wallet and pulled out his last photo of (name) that he had. Sam’s eyes

“Who? Maria? Are you blaming your now ex-girlfriend for you cheating?” Sam stated disapprovingly at him placing his hands on his hips.

“NO! (NAME)!!! She just keeps on crawling back into my life one way or another! I can’t blink without seeing her face, hearing her laugh and cry. I still remember the softness of her skin and feeling her when I have sex with another woman.” Dean screamed his confession, not realizing until now the deep scare that (Name) left behind. When the news comes back on from the other room making him walked to the other room as both Kevin and Charlie were sitting on the couch and looked up to Dean.

“Hey, what’s going on?” Charlie asked after hearing all the yelling that was going on, but Dean didn’t hear her as the news anchor came on.

“Tony Stark is hosting a charity Gala next week on the 28th at the Metropolitan Museum and every Avenger will be in attendance to help raise funds for those effected by war and poverty across the globe. It is said that many world leaders, royalty, members of congress-”

One week on 28th, (Name)’s birthday is on that very same day.

And at that moment, Dean snapped by throwing the nearest empty beer bottle at the TV, cracking the entire screen making it go completely dark. Everyone was in absolute dismay at Dean’s behavior and rage, like he was going crazy. Would seem that they were all right.

“WHAT THE HELL IS THE MATTER WITH YOU!!!??” Castiel yelled as his friend was going mad with rage. Dean just couldn’t see past his own anger and self-hatred; he didn’t even look at the looks his friends were giving him. It took him a moment to snap back to reality and saw the terrified looks the people around him were giving him. He knew right then and there, he was going crazy. Dean looked away from him and left back to his room, alone.

The oldest Winchester stayed in his room for hours. He mauled over everything that had been going on for the past few years ever sense he saw (Name) during that press conference in New York. He couldn’t believe things were going so well for her sense he last saw her at that restaurant, and it angered him.

‘This is ridiculous.” He muttered to himself laying on his bed with his hands behind his back. ‘How could things be going to well for her when she had been so awful in the past? How did she get so attractive in the past five years. And those powers…where did she get them? If know for a fact she’s only human. She’s not some demon-”

Then it hit him, and how (Name) had gotten these powers. Demon…Crossroads…selling their soul. Dean’s green eyes widen trying to catch his breath this sudden epiphany.

‘That’s…it! She sold her soul to a demon to become Avenger! There is no other explanation! There is no way that someone as weak and cowardly as her would ever become someone that saved the world like she did! She is far worse of a human being than I thought!’

‘Woah, Dean. Excusing your ex-wife of selling her soul to become a superhero? Do you even hear yourself? Are you that upset that she is living a life that you never could even dream of that you came to a delusional assumption of her doing something so desperate as to sell something as precious as her own soul?’

“There is nothing precious about (Name) or her soul. She’s a selfish, black-hearted witch that never had to do anything for anyone. I saved her life multiple times and she repays me for cheating on me with my brother? You can’t tell me that her soul is precious?” Dean thought back as hi inner voice was speaking to him. Man, he really has gone insane. “Wait, who are you?! How are you in my head?!”

“ Just call me Jiminy Cricket, aka, the little voice inside your head that is trying to keep you from doing the stupidest decisions of your life.” Disclosed the voice in the hinter’s head “Every human soul is precious to some degree, Dean. Even the worst among humans.” Said the voice again. “And really? Never did anything for you? You know that’s not true. How about the times she went out of her way to come and help you with a hunt or do hours of research only to lose sleep, or stitched you up and giving you medical treatment when you couldn’t go to the hospital?” It spoke again, really making Dean more pissed by the second with his heavy breathing and flaring nostrils. “Was being with her that bad?”

“No, not at first anyway. I though once she was the best thing that happened to me, but then she slept with my brother and lied to me about it. No one who hurts people like could ever change. All they do is hurt others time and time again. And she tried to blame Sammy for it. He told me that she said to him that “You did this to me” when he wasn’t even in control of his actions. Not only she hurt me but try to blame my brother.” He argued with the inner voice.

“You remember how sensitive she was. When someone who wants to make amends with the people they love, they are very emotional. Still doesn’t justified her actions, but you have to give her credit for trying.” The voice in his head was trying to reason with him.

“You and everyone else should know by now, no matter what she said to me, that I would never forgive her. NEVER. She cheated on me with my brother and she knew that I would leave her if she did. She’s a monster.” He replied to the voice in his head.

“People say that same thing about you, Winchester. Yet, you were forgiven. Let’s be fair Dean, you are not exactly a saint yourself. You did rub your perfect and beautiful girlfriend in her face and dangled the idea of proposing to Maria with the very ring (Name) wore, and then you ended up cheating on her years later. Are you really any better?” You really have no one to blame but yourself at this point.” said the voice again. “Not to mention all the one-night stands that you had before you even got together with her, while she was a virgin when you first started dating. Even Tony Stark has a smaller body count than you, and he's one of the most high value men on the planet. Who’s really the whore here? Tell me, Winchester. How long would it have been before you would have cheated on (Name)?”

“SHUT UP!!!” He screamed and shot up from his bed and pulled out his wallet and looked at (Name)’s picture in his and glared at it. She looked so young and carefree back then and she was. It was one thing that he loved about her. But now looking at the photo and just feels hate.

“I’ll show them who you really are, sweetheart. And let’s see if your precious golden boy will still want to nail you after this.” He spat out the nickname that used to hold so much love when he looked at (Name). It’s about time he made a trip to New York City.

Lux Anderson

The leader of THE CIRCUS before it broke down and became FUNHOUSE. It isn't often that just one girl makes an impression on an entire town, but Lux always had a way of staying on people's minds. She was a mystery, even to those closest to her, and only those who were in the wrong place at the right time ever truly got to see the facade slip. To some, she was an angel walking among the ordinary. One of the nicest people they had ever met, and wholly convinced she would do anything for them. To others, she was their tormentor - even if some didn't quite realize what she was getting away with until she was gone.

Lux was up to something in her last few days. She was distressed and snapping at everyone who asked her about it. After attending the Jenners Halloween Party, testing her friends and getting into a few arguments there. She disappeared inside a mystery persons car and went missing. She's still missing.

Kimberly 'Hoodie' Ahn

Was actually secretly in love with Lux and tried to break her and her boyfriend up. Lux did string her along because she liked the attention but finding out about her plan she brutally rejected her.

Hoodie is hiding the long-term affair that her mother is having afraid that her father will hate her if he finds out she knows.

The night of Lux’s disappearance Hoodie was one of the only ones to defend her test.

Makayla Arrabah

Makaylas first trying something worse then weed was with Lux at some party they went to. Both girls did coke and while Lux could do it once in a while Makayla easily became addicted. Soon pills followed. Lux used this to her advantage, able to keep sweet Makayla on some what of a leash by her secret drug addiction.

On the night of lux’s disappearance, Rue and Makayla were secretly getting high by the lake. Makayla and Rue were getting high away from the party and saw lux with a mystery man out in the woods. When Makayla tried approaching her Lux just told Makayla “go pop your pills, love, I'll be fine.”

She left for the summer after Lux was officially announced to be missing and told everyone she went to Greece with her family but actually went to a rehab.

Kassandra 'Kassie' Jansen

Kassie helped a close friend from her home town who was mentally unstable escape from a psychiatric ward, where they were being held after endangering people’s lives. the unstable friend, while appearing well upon escape, eventually snapped and murdered someone. She told the police but she has felt guilty about the death caused and never owned up to being the one who got their friend out.

Lux brutally bullied Kassie, in fact she wasn’t part of the group until after she disappeared and was actually grateful when she disappeared.

Naomi Jefferson

Only got into the school because her father forged her SAT scores.

Lux found out somehow and have been keeping it over Naomi’s head. Naomi terrified now that her father was removed from the school that she doesn’t have the grades anymore. But Lux promised to have her back.

It was a late night at the Library. She were searching for a particular book when she heard a voice she thought was familiar. she heard Lux arguing with someone on the other end of the line - she heard her begging for mercy, and offering secrets as collateral. she don’t know who was on the other end of the line but Lux caught her and threatened to out her secret if she told anyone so she stayed quiet.

Arianna 'Adi' Johnson

Used to act as a get-away driver when ex, Xavier, used to rob houses. Eventually got convinced into join and the one time she did they got caught. Let Xavier take the full blame.

Had an affair with the married police partner of her father. In the beginning to try and get Xavier’s sentence reduced. Instead started to fall for him. He was even going to leave his wife for her but she rejected him.

Lux knew about the affair and tried to get her to admit it to marks wife. She refused and it strained the relationship between her and Lux, in the last week before her disappearance.

During the night of the party she stood up against Lux during the test and was responsible for Lux’s bloody nose.

Yekarina 'Katya' Leskova

Katya’s family was struggling after the death of her mother and to help her father, she took up being a cam girl as well as robbing a few of the men who tried to meet up with her. She earned a lot from loyal subscribers however, despite being masked, wearing a wig and disgusting her voice Lux caught her one day. Promising to keep her secret and get her into the sorority on a scholarship.

A week before her disappearance Lux forced Katya to help her break into a house by blackmailing her to tell everyone her secret. She took a few things and made Katya promise not to tell anyone and she hasn’t said a word since.

Kade Morrose

The black sheep from his family, he was doing coke with a few ' friends ' including Lux when one overdosed. Kitty went to go find him and found him with the dead kid. She was going to call the cops but Lux threatened her terrible.

He often fantasizes about killing someone lately its been all his sisters, Angelique, Kitty and Parisa. He loved Lux and is determined to find where she went.

Kara-Lina Kitty Morrose

Left someone for dead trying to find Kade, the boy overdosed and instead of going to help him, she listened to Kade and Lux and left him. Lux threatened to out Kade for his part in the accident if she spoke up. She tries her best to forget about him but he pops in her head every so option.

The night Lux disappeared she followed the four girls into the woods and watched it. After they beat up Lux she helped them clean up.

Draven Patterson

Two summers ago, Draven got high on ‘shrooms at an outdoor party. However during the party she got into an argument with a girl in the sorority who she didn't really get along with somewhere away from the group. The girl began insulting and pushing her out of anger. Draven, tripping badly on their ‘shrooms, thinks that the girl was seriously hurting them and so she freaked out and attacked. She end up smashing the person over the head with a large rock and knocking them out. The girl was discovered the next day and taken to hospital. Lux revealing to draven that she saw the whole thing but promised to keep it a secret.

Things came to a head again, when Draven started to see Henry, the girl she attacked ex and a boy Lux had a crush on. They broke up a few days later and draven knew Lux had something to do with it and when she came back asking for Draven's help in breaking into a house draven refused.

It was after the test when Draven, Kay and Adi confronted Lux the night she disappeared in the woods. Lux taunted the girls but got particularly vicious to Draven. . In a fit of rage, the three attacked Lux. Draven beat her bloodied - she had to be pulled off by Kay before it got too bad. After that the girls left lux beaten in the woods.

Kalyn 'Kay' Snow

Was having an affair with Professor Jefferson when she was dating Liam and he was married. It was a very tumulus relationship ending when his daughter Naomi joins the sorority. He wanted to leave his wife and Kay refused to be with him, Lux found this out when he went to the sorority house pretending to visit his daughter. She promised to keep the secret between them and helped Kay get him removed from the school.

Kay helped Lux break into the principals office a few days before her disappearance and the night of her appearance the girls got into a fight. Lux demanding Kay to go with her somewhere then when she refused - accusing her of not appreciating what she did for her and saying she's just there to take her spot as leader.

Kay gave her the black eye that night and pulled draven off of her before the girl killed her. They left her in the woods.

Edward Styles

After a particularly horrible visit from his father, Edward full of rage followed his father to a seedy casino outside of town. He pulled his father into an alley and brutally beat the shit out of him. At the time Lux was at the casino attempting to cash out her chips for extra money when she heard the commotion. She helped Edward pose the body and clean up taking him back to his house. She promised not to tell anyone as long as he always had her back.

Marcel saw them and later on the news there father was declared to be in a serious coma where he has been for the last 2 years. Neither Edward or Lux mentioning it to anyone.

A few days before Lux died, she showed up at his house; terrified. She paid him to keep an eye on the girls of teh sorority to make sure they weren't the ones “scaring her.” He found nothing and the night she died he reported it to her. She was frustrated but thanked him. Offering him money, with an odd business card in it. He never told anyone but kept the card realizing it might be the key to where she disappeared to .

Damien Thorne

While visiting Kingston Mental Asylum, Lux discovered Damiens mothers severe mental illness. She also discovered the medicine Damien uses to prevent it in himself. When she brought it up to him he nearly attacked her until she told him she’s never tell anyone as long as she keeps an eye on things for her.

A few days before Lux died, she showed up at his apartment. The conversation was short, worrisome. She told stories of someone following and threatening her and told him she just needed one thing… A gun, to protect herself. Damien provided the gun and he kept his mouth shut after she told him not to breathe a word of what she said.

Maddy Gomez

Is Adi’s half sister. Adi’s mother fell in lust with Maddy’s father when he visited France. He went to visit Paris and met her and they had a romantic week together. Her mother shipped Adi off to her father permanently and she got pregnant with Maddy. Not wanting another child her mother shipped Maddy off to be with her father who she left shortly after maddys birth - not even wanting to acknowledge the child.

Maddy's father told her when she was younger that her mother left them and gave her a picture. It wasn’t until joining THE CIRCUS that she realized Adi had the same picture. She didn’t tell her and doesn’t want to in fear adi would be like there mother.

When looking through Maddy's stuff Lux found the picture and put two and two together. Though she was keeping that secret up her sleeve.

Jules Montgomery

Sweet and sensitive, Jules was a brand new face to the circus and prefect prey to Lux. Lux often using her sweet nature for her benefit.

Confused with her sexuality she was conflicted with her feelings and often slept with many man before even in the sorority. Including Robert, Tyler, Harry and beck to name a few. She kept these a secret though Lux managed to get out a few names from her. Jules - racked with guilt for some of them often took her guilty feeling with destructive coping mechanisms.

Example, Lux caught her self harming and Jules profusely apologized while Lux snarked at her telling her “if you’re going to cut yourself, get the fuck out of my sorority. I don’t need any depression kittys bleeding out here.” After that Jules nickname was ‘Little Miss Wants Attention.’

Jules defended Lux during the halloween though didn’t stop the others from screaming at her. And now that she's gone - she feels a bit relieved though she won’t ever admit it.

Madeline Mimi Blossom

Mimi has an older brother, Ryan and was and is scared of him. When they were kids, Ryan used to take his temper out on her whenever he could, they’d usually have arguments that ended with him grabbing and yelling at her. Once, when she was 12 and he was fourteen, Ryan actually tried to push her down the stairs of their parents large house. If he’d succeeded in pushing her the whole way, mimi most likely would have broken her neck. She did hit her head and had to stay in hospital overnight but nothing too serious happened and because of that, and due to Ryan being the “perfect son”, her experiences were downplayed and she was gaslighted. Her parents acted like Ryan’s behaviour was just part of sibling squabbles. She was sent away in order to satisfy her brother.

Ryan came to visit her and played the doting brother. However, he did try to beat her. Lux saw and tried to get him off of her. He threw Lux into a wall and Mimi pushed him off of her. Slmming her body into him making him crack into the 5th floor window of the Cullen Building. He plummeted to the ground and ended up in a coma. Lux quickly said Ryan was depressed and Madelien was trying to stop him from jumping. It was good enough for the police but her parents still don’t believe and hate her.

Victoria ‘Tori’ Vega

Since the moment Tori saw Adi she was allured in. There was something intoxicatingly alluring about the girl and as soon as she saw she was apart of THE CIRCUS. Tori knew she needed in. Adi and her got along well enough but each interaction made her feel things she hadn’t felt before and even in a room full of people, Tori often found her attention drawn exclusively to the other girl. One night, with a blood-alcohol level that would have made her father scowl, Tori was in the bathroom attempting to psych herself up to make a move on her.

Of course Lux noticed, when Tori came out of the bathroom she was met with Adi kissing another student, in defeat she drunkenly admitted her feelings to Lux. Since then Lux subtly laughed at Tori’s obsession while baiting Adi to hate the girl. And Adi did start to hate the way Tori copied her, hated it when she would sit and watch her in the school courtyard… Nothing was ever good enough but, to Tori, even the negative attention from Adi was sometimes welcomed. She supposed that if this was all she would get she would have to find a way to make do

Tori knew Lux had her wrapped around her finger to keep her secret and the morning of her disappearance she threatened to tell adi unless Tori gave her ‘emergency’ money. She winded up stealing from a few of the girls in the sorority to fund her.

Amber Lui

Amber has a bit of an anger issue in fact she was arrested for aggravated assault at her last college, and should have faced jail time. But thanks to her fathers money, the problem was hidden in the shadows and she was allowed to quietly transfer...

However, in this town things don’t get past Lux and she used Ambers secret (& budding feelings for hoodie) in order to have her as her personal body guard.

Amber blames herself for Lux getting beat in the woods feeling like she should have protected her. She wants to get revenge on those who did it but doesn’t know where to start looking.

Liam Payne

Liam should have been weary of Lux but when he was already suspicious of Kay, Lux fed on his insecurities. Saying Kay had been spending more time with Josh or even Robin.

One night Liam was drunk and angry and decided to teach both boys (who shared a dorm room) a lesson. He took his bottle of jack Daniels and stuffed his shirt in the bottle before lighting it on fire and throwing it through the open window. The fire exploded in the dorm room instantly killing Josh and injuring about two dozen people who were in the dorm building as teh fire spread. He never told anyone what he did but suspects that Lux knows and is happy she disappeared so his secret would be safe.

Camilla Cabello

Was heavily bullied by Lux. Lux hated her for a variety of reasons but all came to a head when Lux beat her up as a pretend hazing ritual for joining the sorority.

Shawn found her in the park and helped her and thats when she fell in love. She loved Shawn, she loves Shawn and was terrified of him leaving her. So what did she do? She secretly stopped taking her birth control so that she could get pregnant and she did or so she thought. Turns out Camila can't have kids and when she was looking for comfort she found lux trying to hook up Adi and Shawn.

When Lux disappeared she was grateful to get rid of that hateful bitch.

Elizabeth Allen

Elizabeth is prescribed pills for insomnia after she had major trouble falling asleep a few years ago but she stopped taking them as they made her feel like a zombie. She still gets the prescription refilled and has all the pills hidden in a drawer in her room. She’s having horrible sleep troubles again, including night terrors, but she hates the medication and it doesn’t occur to her that she could ask the doctor to try something different.

She writes fan fiction often about the people in school and her dorm room has notebooks full of fan fiction on the people in school. It turned a bit weird and she regretted it after she posted it on wattapad and then she just… couldn’t stop. It got so many likes anyway. She started writing stories that focused on the more popular guys liking her (Max, Edward, Robin, Damien, Shownu, act...) fantasising about them in a relationship or something. Most of it is her crazy imagination and the lack of sleep not mixing well together and she knows she sounds weird and crazed in some of them, some of the things she writes, but she can’t seem to stop. It’s therapeutic and she feels like she knows them.

Seungri Lee

He has a son, whose mother he has been paying off ever since the kid was born. He pays her to say that the kid is the son of some other man, her now husband. The family is quite poor and he knows the money helps a great deal and while he does feel a bit guilty about not getting to know his son, he doesn’t feel ready for that kind of thing. He doesn’t know how to be a dad, he’s scared of the whole idea of it, and he’s really not up to the responsibility. It’s much easier this way and tuning it out is pretty easy too.

he often goes to the next town over and finds a girl in a bar. A girl who’s dressed up a little too much, wearing a bit too much make-up, clearly underage and having used a fake ID or sneaked in. He charms that girl and takes her to a hotel to have sex with her. It’s wrong and he knows that, they’re too young but they’re keen and they like him and it really does help him feel a bit better, feel a thrill. It gives him a bit of a kick, doing something he knows he shouldn’t be doing and sneaking around. There’s something addictive about being bad that he can’t quite seem to shake. And… how bad is it really, anyway? At least he’s not out there attacking or killing people.

However, Lux did know one of the girls was almost Annika, Katya's younger sister. She blackmailed Seungri into getting her airline tickets in order to keep it a secret from Katya.

Ian Payne

Has his eye on both Draven and her current fling Jiwoo Jeon. He knows that Jiwoo is a lesbian (and she looks like she could stand to lose a few pounds in his opinion) but he has always viewed that as a challenge. He doesn’t take that sort of thing seriously and believes that girls say that stuff for attention or because they’re scared of sex or something stupid. He’s made it his mission to get her into bed one way or another and he doesn’t really consider how that would affect either girl, he thinks it’s just all in good fun. he has never been that great at considering other people’s feelings.

He stole Kylie’s emergency credit card on impulse and has been using it to pay his bills while he settles into town, saving his own money. He doesn’t think he’ll get found out and he likes the idea of free money.

Olivia Rodriggo

Has a crush on Kay Snow. Olivia thinks that if Kay got to know her properly they’d hit it off, she thinks they’re quite similar and would match well. She feels a bit silly about it because she’s liked her since she started uni but she can’t seem to shake the girl.

Isn’t a Kelpto but often finds herself going into Kay’s places and things and taking things no one would notice being gone, hair accessories, jewellery, etc. She just wants to get to know her better, even if it has to be in secret. She also gets a thrill wearing the things she's taken and no one noticing who it really belongs too.

Jiyong Kwon

His nightclub back in Seoul is in a little bit of trouble. It was discovered that some dealers were using his club as a hub to sell drugs. The police have been investigating after the dealers lied and said Jiyong is involved in it too. He is angry that his club was used by scum and he is frustrated that the police are looking into him. He’s just laying low for a while until it all sorts itself out.

Is getting too into drinking and actually likes Drunk Driving. He sees it as a challenge to safely get home.

Knows some guys who can get fake ID’s and passports. He got some for Lux a week before she went missing. Lux knew about the hit and run he preformed and threatened him.

Jade Thirlwall

She is stealing money from the Anne’s Bakery (she works there during the week) till every Friday when she has to count up the totals. She’s always been a little bit of a kleptomaniac but it got worse as she got older and doing this gives Jade a rush and makes her feel powerful. She tends to steal more when she’s feeling especially lonely, too. It makes her feel better somehow.

Found out that her mother is having an affair and she is quite furious about it. She wants to confront the woman, or tell her dad because he deserves better, but Jade also doesn’t want to blow up her entire family and threaten her inheritance. The prospect that they could get divorced is just so outrageous, she doesn’t want to give them the push that could cause it. But it’s affecting her and she doesn’t know what to do.

Caleb Irwin

Is becoming a little bit addicted to visiting the local lapdancing/strip club. He likes going to the club, getting the real interaction with women, watching them dance, giving them money. It’s starting to become something he’s eager to do nearly every single weekend and he’s not sure how to stop or if he even wants to.

Had the brilliant idea with the rest of the fetuses to write a book about lux hardcore bullying them and about her disappearance. For ‘research’ they started to follow her clique around. He fell in love with Adi and now can’t stop following her.

Stephan James

He suspects his father killed his mother when he was 13 because he found her dead body at the bottom of a staircase and his father on top. Nothing ever came of the investigation but He still sometimes suffers nightmares brought on by guilt and the trauma of finding his mother’s body. They sometimes cause him to sleepwalk and have violent impulses while still under the influence of sleep. He once strangled a girlfriend who was staying over years ago. Needless to say she left him immediately and his father paid to have it covered up.

Andrew Hood

Two summers ago, Roberts mother married Andrews uncle making the boys cousins by marriage. Which they loved, being best friends and all.

Whenever he and Robert get into a fight over a girl, it gets a little too tense. They both do have a love-hate thing going on, they’re friends, enemies and lovers. They love the fight getting heated and usually end up having sex at the end of it. It’s not like any of them is ready to commit to this side of their sexuality so it’s just between them and they don’t speak about it and this fits Andrew just fine.

Robert Clifford

Two summers ago, Roberts mother married Andrews uncle making the boys cousins by marriage. Which they loved, being best friends and all.

Robert is a furry and his fursona is a red wolf named MoonBlood.

After they fight about the girls they had and try to have they let things escalate. When you talk about close relationship with them they’re not only best friends and cousins, they also sleep with each other whenever they get into an argument. Probably to de-escalate it but they’re also enjoying it but not really admitting to anything, extending their sexuality. Robert wants to talk about it sometimes but he knows Andrew doesn’t.

Vanessa Hudgens

Her stepfather has always been horribly abusive of her ever since he became part of their family. Their mother is aware but turns a blind eye as she doesn’t want to lose her husband.

Ran away a few years ago, to escape her stepdad. She was very young and terrified, after a rather horrible night, and was eager to go, taking only a few items and some money from her mother’s purse. They kept in contact on and off but it was hard not to be able to be with her sister and she didn’t want her father to track her down. She worked her fingers to the bone as a barista every day to pay for her room in a flat she shared with three other people and basically lived off tea and Nutella. She crashes on random old friends couches or in their spare rooms, so she doesn’t have to set foot back in that house. Until she got accepted in the school.

Lux blackmailed her to use her couch surfing connections. Threatening if she told anyone Vanessa would be shipped back to her stepfather.

Victor Malik

He has never dated anybody his whole life. He gives vague mentions of girls he’s liked or kissed through his life, but he’s never had anything serious at all. Never asked a girl out, never kissed someone, never been told someone has a crush on him. He was always too busy working to really focus on relationships and now he feels left behind and pretty embarrassed about it.

Jiwoo Jeon

Her best friend, three years ago while they were staying in a hotel in another town. Jiwoo was sober and she put up a fight, attacking him back and hitting him over the head in self defence. he ended up unconscious and she fled, escaping back to Van Der Wulff and leaving him there. She watched the news religiously until she heard something about him. He ended up in a coma, in a hospital in another town, and nobody could ID him because she’d taken his wallet with her. She stupidly kept it in her school bag and Lux found it one day and threatened to tell the police everything unless she kept an eye on the girls during the day she disappeared. Jiwoo still lives in fear that she’ll be arrested to this day, terrified that Jensen is going to wake up.

Miley Cyrus

Used to sell drugs - the family was so poor and it really helped out. This is a secret that Lux found out about her before she disappeared. She tried to blackmail him but then she vanished - back then she didn’t want to give people a reason to suspect her of anything. she stopped after and kept her stash hidden in her shed under a creaky floorboard. Recently, though, she went out to check it was all still there and she’s noticed that some of the packets have been going missing.

Was a regular who used to provide drugs to Tyler, in exchange for either a discounted price or, more often than not, a bit of a make-out or groping session - even a couple of times as far as full blown sex.

Perrie Edwards

Has been telling everyone since high school that she is dating an older guy from another country that she met online. She has a bunch of photos on her phone and laptop of a random guy whose profile she found and liked, and has been telling everyone he’s her very serious English cop boyfriend, Henry. It’s been going for a year and she can’t seem to find a way to stop it. It would be easy to say they broke up but… she’s grown oddly attached to him.

Atina Davis

Back in high school, Atina had much less control over her anger than she does now. She let it get the best of her. On her way home from before she transferred one winter night, she spotted a girl she had a falling out with some way ahead of her. Something just took over Atina and she rushed at the other girl, shoving her hard from behind. When the girl was down, she didn’t stop, she started to kick her, just completely seeing red. She grabbed her bag and ran off with it when she was finished, to make it look like a robbery. She felt sick with guilt after she calmed down. She still has the bag

Had to go onto medication, to help her with her mood swings and her anger issues. They were so out of control and she would get violent sometimes. She’s much mellower now as long as she sticks to her dosages but she doesn’t want anybody to know because it just makes her feel like a complete freak.

Leroy Payne

To him THE CIRCUS were full of small town stars. Each girl bringing something new to the table. Leroy isn’t exactly sure when he began focusing on them in his little home movies or filming them with his camera, but once he started he couldn't stop. He wasn’t peeping but instead was fasinated by the group. He spent hours filming us at group gatherings, parties, school events or through windows in the sorority. It would go perfect with there documentary after all right?

Jihyo Park

Had developed a bit of an obsessive crush on her current boyfriend, Yoongi, after she heard him playing piano at there school in Japan. She thought he was incredible and she got way too obsessive and would do just about anything. She started showing up places she knew he would be and often texted him for help she didn’t even need. She once even made up someone following her home to gain his sympathy. She figured if he saw her as a friend the possibility of more would open up. It worked and she was accepted to come back to California with him and study at Van Der Wulff.

Jihyo has had these obsessive tendencies over guys in the past and she’s even gone so far as to make up terrible lies and go to extreme lengths to keep them. Though the problem she has now is Kay Snow and her strange relationship with Yoongi.

Became obsessed with a teacher who had a girlfriend back in high school. Kimberley had the biggest crush on him but it got out of control. She would turn up places she knew he was after school and find ways to talk to him, get extra help, and play on his sympathy. She twisted their relationship into something it wasn’t in her head and eventually things ended dramatically when she ran his girlfriend off the road, almost fatally injuring her. Jihyo was convinced they’d end up together but she only ended up put away in a hospital for a year to get treatment. She came out a year later, pretending she’d been away on an internship, and her family figured she was all better.

Daesung Kim

It happened last year, at one of the many parties Daesung attended back in Seoul. He had been wasted, completely incapable of actually thinking out his actions before he did so. And before he knew it he was bringing some girl he didn’t recognize to the bedroom. He could hear her protests but in the time kept thinking “I’m Daesung, of course she wants me.” Since then, the girl has threatened to tell the police, to press charges. But Daesung paid her a lot of money and is willing to do anything to make sure the word doesn’t get out about it. He left to Van Der Wulff as soon as he could but realized the girls sister Momo, is in the school now.

Zayn Malik

Is starting to become a regular at RED HEART casino. He wins a lot but looses a whole lot more and got himself into debt with the owner. He needs money and wants to stop but just can’t.

Jennie Kim

Has been pretending that she has a job at a local cafe but honestly she has been unable to find work anywhere in town. Nowhere wants to hire her or when they do she leaves within a few days. She’s been shoplifting and selling the items online to keep up the appearance of having money, though it’s not the most lucrative option. Recently she's been stealing from people in the school, from there lockers or gym lockers.

In high school Jennie had a vendetta against a teacher at school, Mr. Kang, and made it a mission to seduce them, get a better grade because of it, and then out the teacher for sleeping with a student. He was arrested and she quickly moved onto Van Der Wulff before anyone realized what she was doing.

Justin Beeiber

He was the guy Selena was pushed at by Lux one night at a party he’d been dragged to by a friend. Selena was clearly very drunk and out of it but it didn’t stop him getting a bit too touchy with her. Justin isn’t quite sure what would have happened if she hadn’t pushed him off and staggered away. He likes to think that he wouldn’t have gone too far, that he’s a good guy, but when he gets too much alcohol in him he only ever gets one thing on his mind and a quick grope or kiss never seems to be enough. He’d actually been promised by Lux the night of the party that it would be Adi, not Selena, that would be dropped into his lap - all ready and willing.

Yoona Kim

Is a little addicted to taking risks. All kinds of risks. Whether it’s just something small like walking through the park or the woods after midnight or something bigger like getting blind drunk and going home with a complete stranger. She can sometimes seem like she’s lost her mind but things that give her a complete thrill and that makes her feel good.

she sometimes attends AA meetings·when she’s feeling especially lonely, just so that she has people to talk to, though she sometimes feels like a complete fraud because she isn’t an alcoholic. She goes out of town so that nobody recognises her and she knows it’s not exactly right but she likes feeling connected and like she can talk to the people in the meetings.

Michael B Jordan

Was having an affair with his fathers girlfriend. Of course first he didn’t like her at all, she was younger than him and dating his father which was pretty disturbing to him. And it was just an act of revenge against his father but now the girl is threatening to expose them unless he continues with the affair.

Wonho Shin

He is actually the one who killed his brother’s friend Candace. It was a complete accident that he ran into her while she was leaving this guy’s apartment after most likely sleeping with him. Wonho had been driving home from work (he did nightshift) and he offered her a lift home. When they stopped at a red light, Candace tried to kiss him. He pushed him away and he got angry and the two fought. She stormed out of his car and he followed her. The two had an altercation and he ended up pushing her, causing the girl to fall and hit her head. He panicked and buried her in some nearby woods, Woo helping him. the burned her belongings and promised never to speak about it again.

Lisa Manoban

Has been following Jennie around, taking pictures of her and sending them to her in the mail. She isn’t trying to be threatening, at least not on purpose, but Jennie does confide in her about it and it makes him feel wanted by her. Lisa has always had some weird, creepy crush on Jennie despite her being childhood friends and Jennie being straight, ever since they were kids, and it makes her act in dumb, irrational ways around her. Stalking is the newest in a long line of things that Lisa has done out of her sheer frustration and jealousy and she’s in too deep to stop now. Not that she’s sure she even wants to but maybe that’s because she’s so fucked up.

Penelope Beryl

Was on the verge of being kicked out of her apartment for being consistently late with the rent. Penny took a loan from a pretty dodgy source and, though she managed to keep her flat, she is being visited by some pretty scary guys who want the loan repaid. Penny feels pretty stupid and freaked out… and she’s tempted to go down some pretty illegal lines to get enough money to pay them back for good. She’s even tempted to start begging on the street like a homeless person, though in another town so she wouldn’t be recognised. She knows she wouldn’t even get much from this but it feels so desperate that every little helps or something right now.

Seunghyun TOP Choi

Suffers from schizophrenia. he has been going to therapy and been on medication for the past few years but he struggles with hallucinations, especially when he is incredibly stressed. He travels to another town to get his prescriptions filled so that nobody can catch him and possibly discover his secret. It causes him a great deal of shame, And often self-medicates with drugs.

Maximus Valente

Got really drunk at a party and decided to “borrow” someones car for a joyride, even though he knew he wasn’t allowed to drive yet. He was going too fast and hit someone, but was too afraid to stop and check on them. He took off, ditching the car. It wasn’t until later that he found out the person died. he doesn't drink or do any drugs ever since.

Rachel Michele

Shoplifted a couple of times in high school but one of these times, just as she was about to get caught by security, she planted the items on her friend. The friend got into a lot of trouble and has a record and though she feels guilty, she’s just relieved it wasn’t her.

Stole a few blank prescription pages when she visited her sister at the hospital where she works. She doesn’t have much of a plan for them other than she just saw the opportunity. She decided that maybe she can sell them to some desperate people for enough money.

Emma Roberts

Since she doesn’t have much money anymore, and her father won’t send her any, she began to make her own clothes and put fake labels on them so she could pretend to belong to the crowd. To have the good stuff. She’s ashamed she’s basically living on nothing and she had to take up a job. She started working in a club in across town and has recently been approached there to be recruited for a call girl job. She’s debating whether or not to do it because that job would really bring money.

Abusive. Beat up her last boyfriend ; current boyfriend and constantly shamed him for “not being a man”. She often blackmails her friends and beats them up too if they cross her.

Jisoo Kim

makes her money online by catfishing men. She pretends to be other women and has various profiles with different pictures and different personalities and convinces men to spend money on her and send her gifts. When they start demanding things she can’t send, like videos and such, she moves onto the next or deletes the profile and starts fresh. It’s sometimes tough and they don’t always fall for it as most men want to meet a girl first but she manages to make enough to scrape by in the dorm. It’s not something she feels she can tell anybody but it’s exciting sometimes and she feels a rush scamming guys out of their money. Especially a few of the boys around school.

Kendall Jenner

She was in love with a teacher in high school but he gave all his attention to another student in her class. Sure they were having an affair she outed her for sleeping with their teacher. the teacher lost their job was investigated. Turns out he was just tutoring her friend in private but Kendall doubled down and insitsted it was inappropriate even going so far as to create fake texts between the teacher and student. she mailed them to the teacher in an attempt to blackmail him but instead he killed himself and she's lived with that guilt ever since.

Naeyeon Im

She is a lesbian but her mother was always very, very homophobic. It really affected her and every time she would get any kind of inkling about her daughter (if she thought a girl was pretty, was caught glancing at a girl, or other things she’d rather never think about) then she would take her homophobic anger out on Naeyeon. Thats why Naeyeon left Seoul though she's scared of her mother finding out about hoodie.

When her and Hoodie are off (in there very on and off relationship) she hooks up with Jeongyeon, however the last time they hooked up was when she was on the phone with Hoodie speaking about getting back together.

Taylor Swift

Used to date Harry Styles a while ago. Before she had been crazy about him and was kind of furious when she found out that he had been hooking up with Kendall. She resented that girl anyway, going around and leaving her scent on practically every boy in town. After a while though, Taylor managed to get his attention and finally got to date him. It was great and she was crazy in love. However, because she could feel the end was coming and that he was bored with her… she told him she was pregnant. Trying to guilt him to stay with her and it actually worked and then she was trying to really get pregnant so she wouldn’t be found out, but it didn’t seem to work. She broke up with him after that hoping to never be found out.

stole her best friend’s diary during a sleepover in high school. She found some pretty horrible things written about her in there and, in a rage, she put the girl’s deepest secrets online, spreading them all over social media for their whole school to see. Soon after, the girl committed suicide and Taylor still suffers guilt from it, but she also has moments where she doesn’t regret what she did because the things the girl had written were nasty.

Evan Peters

After him and Emma got together, she got psychologically abusive. She would take advantage of him trying to do everything for her, while she forbid him to go see his friends or she would look through his phone and would accuse him of cheating whenever she could. And whenever they got into a fight and where close to break up, she would cry and tell him she would kill herself and it would all be his fault. Everyday was hell for him and one day, he just couldn’t do it anymore broke up with her. She kept trying to keep him from doing so but he kept strong in that moment.

After he’d moved himself out, she called him up a couple of times, and still writes messages about killing herself and pinning it on him or threatening too black his eyes again. He’d gotten the police involved but they did nothing even when she openly threatened him. He has her blocked now, He’s emotionally scarred though, and really, he doesn’t know if he would ever be capable of having a healthy relationship. He doesn’t want to be manipulated anymore and tries to keep more to himself.

Ever since hes started dating Kitty, hes scared Emma is going to find out not because he doesn't want anyone to know but because he knows if Emma does anything to Kitty he’lll snap and might hurt her.

Hyuna Kim

The real reason that she left home was because her adopted brother, started to come onto her. As they got older and she grew into her looks, he started to make odd comments about her appearance and her body. She brushed it off at first, thinking he was just making fun of her, but it got worse and he would try to spy on her in the shower, look through the crack in her door if she left it open. Then, one night, he tried to climb into bed with her. That was the last straw. she simply couldn’t take it any more, she didn’t want to feel unsafe and preyed upon in her own home, by someone who was supposed to be her brother.

Lux knew this and threatened to tell her brother exactly where she was unless she helped her get close to GD.

Rue Coleman

Addicted to opioids & now dealing them

Since breaking up with Jules and Makayla getting sober she's been feeling really isolated and lonely similar to how she felt with Lux heavily bullied her.

Demi Lovato

Started lying for attention in high school when she was feeling left out and ignored by her family. She told a teacher her grandmother had died and that’s why she was upset and it got her time off the coursework. She pretended to be sick a lot so she would get sympathy. Demi even pretended that she’d been followed home one night by a strange man so that her parents paid panicked attention to her instead of her sisters. It’s silly and she still does it when she feels left out or unwanted and she isn’t sure how to stop

Lux heavily bullied her and Demi credits Lux for making her try her first joint just wanting to relax from the constant strain the popular girl put on her. Holds it against all the sorority girls for being mean to her.

Cassie White

During what Cassie told everyone was a “holiday to France”, she was actually in London getting work done. She got a nose job and a breast enhancement and then came back completely new and full of more confidence to suit her new persona. Cassies’s step-dad has the money and will do whatever he can to make sure his little girl gets what she wants, which is helpful when you’re trying to win over the whole school. Though she’d hate for anyone to find out and brand her “plastic” or anything like that, she knows the fallout from these types of things can be bad and she doesn’t want to be knocked off her ledge.

It incredibly insecure when it comes to men and often seeks validation from them. Unfortunately this caused her to sleep with Nate when he was still with Maddy and move in with him. Any boy who really gives her attention and a few compliments she’ll fall for especially when her and Nate fight.

Chaeyoung Son

Deeply insecure about being a lesbian. She forced herself to sleep with Jackson Wang a while back to try and force a relationship out of it since he was popular, and she needed a perfect boy to be with, a power couple… it was horrible and Chaeyoung spent a lot of time denying her attraction towards girls.

She has a crush on Draven Patterson and feels like shit because she actually really gets along with Jiwoo. But secretly she's been trying to plan to get them to break up....somehow.... just so she can get to know her better.

Hayley Marshall

She had a brief fling with Emma’s father years ago. She knew that Emma had always had some… issues regarding her father but Hayley couldn’t help that she found him attractive. It’s not like she ever thought she stood a chance but being so insecure it was nice when an older man like him finally paid her some attention. She was a little silly and slept with him very quickly, but Mr. Roberts was quick to drop her like she meant nothing. It hurt when he just tossed her aside. Again, she felt like she wasn’t good enough, that she never would be, and it hurt to have to see him and act like nothing had happened. She went along pretending nothing happened .... maybe a tiny part of her stuck in the past sometimes wishes she could stop by and still have him be there.

Had fallen for her mother’s boyfriend, ever since the two began having an affair a while ago. She felt dreadfully guilty but she was always still very angry at her mother for divorcing her father and blames the woman entirely for ruining her family, so she never really felt quite guilty enough to stop. Hayley felt like Lewis might be the one for her, she harboured fantasies of running away together, but had no idea that he doesn’t really see it the same way until recently. She soon broke off the affair after getting the harsh impression he only wanted to use her for sex and has been avoiding and cold with him ever since.

Yoongi Min

Hanging out with assholes when he was a teenager, he was dared to set fire to a building. He did it however workers were in it and while none died they were seriously hurt and destroyed the nearby buildings as well. They were rescued before anything horrible happened but it’s part of the reason he left Seoul when she did. They were still investigating after discovering the fire was deliberate though he regularly sends them money anonymously to try and feel better for what they caused. He was never caught but thinks about it a lot.

Beck Avian

Lux and him hooked up a couple of times.

The night Lux went missing before the halloween party She pushed him out of the window after he caught her in his father’s office, trying to crack his safe. His dad keeps a gun, lots of money, and some valuable items in there. Beck confronted Lux about it and lux chased him up to his bedroom, saying that he’d ‘better not open his stupid mouth’, and ranting something about someone being out to get her and she needed ‘protection’ and ‘escape money.’ Beck didn’t understand what she was talking about, she was too worked up because of the alcohol they’d been sneaking up in his room before Lux pretended to slip out to the bathroom. Beck’s window was already open and he’d gone over to close it, maybe slam it shut in her frustration… which is when Lux shoved her, maybe out of panic, maybe out of spite, He landed on teh bushes under his window and only wound up with a broken arm. She then left to the party

Beck never said anything because, stupid as it was, he didn’t want to get Lx into trouble. Then Lux was gone and it didn’t seem to matter if he said anything or not.

Hes also sleeping with Tyler and has been taking pills with Tyler. He feels bad because Makayla is his favorite cousin but he likes Tyler more.

Jaebum JB Im

his parents divorced years ago when he was still a teenager, and packed up, moving out of Seoul to go their separate ways. His father went to shack up with his new family and his mother moved to another country. They shipped him off to school, left him money and the house and often sends him extra money out of guilt at leaving him alone, even though he pretended he was fine with it. Since, JB has been embarrassed to admit it because he doesn’t want people to think his parents ditched him because he was pathetic or there was something wrong with him. His loneliness and the fact His parents ditched him has a tendency to make him seem a little distant scared to get to close to anyone in fear they will leave..

Shownu Son

Before he was at the school he took part in a stupid prank that inevitably blinded his friend. Everyone involved fled the scene and never spoke of the incident again and he moved here.

Robin Hemlock

His mother used to be a porno star / high paying escort in Europe and she made enough money that she was able to scrub her videos from the internet mostly. His father was a client of hers and she got pregnant with Romeo, while his father took neglectful responsibility, he is a porno baby.

he drowned his 'friend' as a teenager because they threatened to out what they knew about him. Everyone thinks it was an accident, but he was the one holding them under the water.

Jackson Wang

Thinks that he has developed some kind of a problem with alcohol and doesn’t really know what to do about it. If he’s stressed or sad or angry… he’ll go out or grab a bottle and doesn’t seem to have any other coping mechanisms and feels quite alone and helpless with it.

Jinyoung park

During a fight with his parents, he said something he regrets and convinced his father to commit suicide.

Shawn Mendes

Will go to jail for all he knows about his fathers businesses, but mostly because he helped kill a man who tried to betray his father.

Namjoon Kim

Learned how to count cards and became quite good at it. however it did give rise to a slowly building addiction to gambling.

Taehyung V Kim

Intense stress and depression is causing him to have trouble sleeping and now can't go to sleep with out popping two sleeping pills

Jungkook Jeon

Angry after Draven's rejection, Jungkook beat a man flirting with him out of the club. The man thinks it was because he was gay but in reality he was just trying to take his anger out on anything he could.

Really just wants to be friends with her again

Jooheon Kim

Was heavily bullied growing up before his blowup in high school. One night he saw one of his bullies walking down the street and retaliated, sending the other boy to a hospital with a concussion and at a risk of having his lungs punctured due to broken ribs. He was never caught for doing this.

Matthew Kim

While in Seoul before he found his group, Matthew found himself finally getting caught up in the party scene. He fell in with a bad crowd who got him addicted to loud music and alcohol fueled nights. He was on the verge of failing all of his exams so he seduced and slept with two of his professors in order to blackmail them to get the grades she needed to pass the course. He wouldn’t be where he is now if he hadn’t set the women up that way and he knows that he’s perfectly capable of the work… that that time in his life was just a mistake… but he does feel some guilt and worry about somebody finding out. It would ruin his credibility, possibly get kicked out of school because his qualifications weren’t really earned.

Steven Clifford

has an online blog where they post drawings of various people around town. He mostly focuses in on Lux’s old group of friends. He sketches them with knives in their heads or even scenarios that have actually happened to them. They can get quite gruesome but his sketches can also extend to those connected to the girls too. He’s even drawn some of Lux herself. A lot of locals do gossip about this and some of the images have been taken off the site and sent to the people they were depicting (though this was not his intention). He knows it’s a bit weird and insensitive to draw these things but he’s become quite fascinated by them all.

Irene Bae

Is YoungJae’s stepsister by marriage and has been hooking up with him when shes bored. She knows that her mother would be so disappointed in her if she ever found out… But its just meaningless sex to her. She doesn’t love him. Last year, the Summer that she went missing, Lux discovered the secret when she happened upon the two of them on the hill just outside of town together, looking much closer than brother and sister. She put two and two together very quickly and every time she saw Irene she would tilt her head and smile that knowing smile of hers that drove Irene mad. She was happy when she disappeared – she knew Annie’s track record at keeping people’s secrets.

Olivia Delgado

Slept with her step-sister Alison, after she was rejected by Adi during one of her many advances. When Ali had come into her room and attempted to comfort her, it had just happened… she looked so much like Adi and he was so kind and she realised the reason she’d always unsettled her was because of a crush she’d developed. However she mostly just avoids her now neither girl talking about that night knowing her parents would kill her and she would be completely blacklisted. Ali is now dating Edward who Olivia does not like and every so often she realises she feels jealous more than annoyed. Maybe she does still have some feelings but isn’t that normal? She still wants to be with Adi.

Pressured Alison to get the plastic surgery to make her look more like Adi.

Harry Styles

has been rather promiscuous. Words glide smoothly off his tongue and he has always just been naturally charming. His curly hair and cute dimples help too, and it seems as though he could make almsot anyone fall for him within seconds. For a while, he used this to his advantage. Until he found Kitty. He actually loved her until she started showing more attention to Robin feeling insecure he cheated on her with Kendall...and Jules.....Gigi.... Irene...and Taylor. Kitty found out and broke up with him and he went to Taylor then she told him she was pregnant and he panicked.

He seeked comfort and later wound up sleeping with Louis before he moved back to England. now he is unsure if he is actually straight or if he’s bisexual or something else. he of course likes having fun and flirting but sometimes he just doesn’t know what any of it all means.

In the beginning of the year he did have a brief fling with Kyle. The two shared a very rocky secret relationship but he wanted to experiment more with his sexuality. Unfortunately he did / does still miss Kitty and thinks thats when he was his happiest. However he still does labor feelings for Louis.

Seokjin Kim

Before he was at the school he took part in a stupid prank that inevitably blinded his friend. Everyone involved fled the scene and never spoke of the incident again and he moved here. He still feels incredibly guilty.

Roman Grant

Lost his ex girlfriend when it was found out she was sleeping with his father. When he found out he and Shawn set his father up to be jumped by Negan’s gang.

Since then he works for Negan by shaking down clients for money to try and satisfy the part of him that craves violence.

Does Ari ever meet ARabella's mom? How does it go?

"No one in my family likes her," Ayden explained, "I don't even know why she's here,"

"This is your ex wife?" Ari asked as they stepped out of the elevator, walking down the hallway to the apartment door.

"Thankfully, we were never married," Ayden stated as he punched in the keycode and opened the door.

They'd received a text message from Arabella, explaining that her mother was visiting and she'd like the company. Grace was on her way as well.

Arabella's mother was looking around the apartment, impressed. Arabella was standing as far away from her as possible, holding her baby son to her chest.

Ari could already tell this woman was a bitch.

"Why is your father here?" Her mother scoffed.

"He's allowed to be here," Arabella defended.

Her mother didn't even greet them, instead holding her hands out to Arabella with a smile, "Let me hold him for a bit, sweetie,"

Sweetie, everyone knew Arabella hated that pet name. Ayden rolled his eyes, arms crossed over his chest as Ari stood close to him.

"It's okay, I have him," Arabella spoke.

"Oh nonsense, I am his grandmother, I should be allowed to hold him,"

"Karen," Ayden furrowed his brows together, "She said no-"

"Shut up, Ayden,"

Ari had to look twice at this woman, disbelief over her features. Before Arabella could say anything, Ari was already talking, stepping in front of her partner.

"What did you just say to him?" Ari snapped, "Don't tell him to shut up after you've been told no, twice might I add,"

Karen stared at her, "Who are you?"

"The person that's going to kick you in the teeth if you speak to my boyfriend like that again," Ari growled, "Don't throw your weight around and claim to be the grandmother when you were barely the mother,"

Ayden's eyes went wide while Arabella was trying to hide her smile. Karen snatched up her bag, an annoyed look on her face.

"I know when I'm not wanted," Karen spat.

"Took you long enough to realize,"

As she walked towards the door, Karen looked at Ayden, only to be met with Ari stepping in front of him and gesturing to the door. She huffed, storming out.

As soon as the door shut, Arabella burst into laughter, covering her mouth as she did. Ayden let out a soft chuckle, gently kissing Ari's forehead.

Pairing: Andy Barber X Fem!Reader

Warning: If you haven't watched Defending Jacob, stay away! (or at least read the plot on the internet) Maybe some displayed affection, like kiss, hug, etc. Violence mentioned.

Word Count: 4k-ish

A/N: Finally breaking my hiatus with this work for @supraveng 500 followers challenge. It's been a long time since the last time I wrote something. The weird thing, I managed to vomit words for this quite long fic. I hope you enjoy!

In the neighborhood, they were the perfect little family. His life was like a movie that run smoothly in a town somewhere in the United States; a nice American house, cars, a decent job that paid well, a sweet wife, and an unproblematic teenage son. Everyone in that town knew the Barbers. But it was not because of their perfect little family. The Barbers were known from the unfortunate event that changed their family two years ago.

Ever since the accident happened, Andy was not the same man. His blue eyes never shined as it was before. His suit used to make him walk proudly on every trials he went on. Now, he walked like a lifeless man, sometimes he seemed like a colorless attorney in the courtroom. Everyone’s eyes were on him. Most of them were giving the pity look as Andy walked into his cold empty house.

It was an innocent glance at first. Andy was walking through the hallway when his blue eyes met yours. He nodded and smiled politely before going into the management office. Laurie, his now-ex-wife, was working as one of the managers. During their divorce process, you kept meeting him in the office. You always excused yourself every time he came. Rumor was heard that Andy was delivering some divorce paperwork. Probably that rumor was true. In couple of weeks, Laurie was no longer wearing the wedding ring, so did Andy. That was when everything began.

Now, Andy was living by himself. Occasionally, you visited him to deliver some lunch and dinner. These foods turned into front porch conversations, eventually turned into multiple dates. It was not easy since you worked at the same place with Laurie. Jacob also had not woken up from his coma, yet. However, you promised yourself to make this thing works. You needed Andy as much as he needed you.

Today was another day where you delivered some food to Andy. You confidently knocked at his door. Andy opened the door with a soft smile in his face. He had dark circle under his eyes, but his bright blue eyes and smile greeted you warmly. It was one of his charms; no matter how tired he was, he always capable of welcoming you. His arm snaked around your waist as he pushed you closer to him. A small gasp escaped your lips.

“What are you doing?” You were startled by his sudden movement.

“What?” He shrugged, “You don’t like it?”

“It’s just… um… It doesn't feel like Andy Barber at all.”

“Well, you were in awe when you saw it on the movie. Maybe I could give it a try, ya know.”

You giggled looking at your puzzled boyfriend. He sure was a good observant. Raising eyebrows, you were signaling him to let you in the house. Boston air was always unbearable during the month.

“I won’t let you in if you don’t stop giggling!” He pouted.

“Aren’t you a cute little boy. C’mon stop pouting and let me in. How if anyone sees us?”

“Okay. I let you in because you think I’m cute.” He pecked your lips. “But who cares if anyone sees us? You know Laurie and I aren’t together anymore.”

“But the divorce was months ago. Don’t you think it’s too soon?”

“Honey, when I said who cares, I meant it. Let them say whatever they want to say. All I know is that I love you. Period. And nothing in this world can stop me showing all of my love to you.”

“Alright, show me then.”

He did as he was told, wrapping his arms around you tightly. Your faces inches away from each other. He looked at you in your eyes and you could see the love in his, again. You could see his pupil dilated. His eyes were much deeper and brighter shade of blue. Even though they were different than the normal ones you saw every time, you did not care. You knew they were blue and nothing else mattered anymore.

He gave you a light kiss. Then he kissed you again. And again. And again. He kissed you so many times you didn’t know how you would remember them all. He kissed you, and you thought to yourself; it was the most amazing kiss of your life. You held him closer to you, like he would disappear if you lost your grip. You wanted him to; you wanted him to stay by your side forever.

The snow started falling in the windshield. Her breath fogged the rearview mirror as she checked herself again. The cold air pinched her skin when she stepped out of her car. Her hands were scrabbling the back of her car to find a coat. It still smelled like her scent with a little hint of his.

It took her a minute before her knuckles touched the wooden door. A knock then followed by another. She could hear the sound of footsteps approaching the door.

"Laurie!" Your heart dropped as soon as you opened the door. "Andy's showering and I think he'll be done soon. Umm - Wanna come in?"

"Nah, I'm good. Can you just tell him that the hospital called. Jacob is awake."

"Oh! That's a wonderful news! I'm so happy for both of you."

You went in to hug her. Her eyes teared up a little. Before she cried, she hurriedly excused herself. Jacob news was one thing, but the seeing you in used to be - her house was a whole different thing. Since when the two of you were a thing. There were lots of things that she felt in that moment. One of them was jealousy.

What was the hug for? She kept repeating the question in her mind. She clearly knew that shirt was his. The shirt that she used to iron the night before the trial. She could swear that you purposely hugged her to show how much scent of him you got in you. You were sleeping in that bed, with him, reminding her how warm it used to be when she was lying there in his arm.

Deep down she tried to reassure herself. Andy once hers. He loved her first. There was no way you could replace her, his first love since college. She took one last look at the house as she smiled painfully. It used to be her place. It used to be the only space where she wanted to be. In a matter of time, it would be hers again. Andy was hers once and she knew how to make him hers again.

Andy hugged you tight and kissed you as soon as he heard the news. The news that he wanted to hear every time he visited his son in the hospital. You can see a little skip he made as he walked to his car with joy. The snow started falling and the wind blew quite strong. That did not make him stop his track. But when he realized that you stopped at the front porch, he stopped in confusion. You could listen to him calling you by the look of his face. The news itself terrified you. You were happy for Andy, you really were. But the thought of Jacob’s reaction haunted you.

“Honey?”

“Maybe it’s better to go by yourself.”

The vapor came out from his mouth as he walked towards you. He called you once again as he knew you would tell him sooner.

“Okay,” you exhaled, “Is it too soon to tell Jacob about me? Or about us?”

“I know my son well. I can do the talking and you don’t have to worry about a single thing.”

You hesitantly agreed. To be honest, it was not only about Jacob. It was also about Laurie. She knew that you were sleeping with her ex-husband. The meeting this morning, you could call that the most awkward moment in your life. What would happen next? As if Andy could see your worries, he hugged you and kissed your forehead softly.

“We got this.”

You smiled up at him, holding his hand as he drove. He looked happy, but at the same time, you could see he was worried. You did too, you were. You wanted to get this over with. It was only a few miles before arriving at the hospital, and now you had nothing but worries.

Andy footsteps became faster and faster as he got closer to the room. You waited outside with the hope that everything was going to be okay. The light in Andy’s eyes were different. It was pure excitement and happiness like you never seen before. All you wanted was Andy to finally get his happiness.

After a while, Andy was walking out from the room. His expression was something that you could not understand. It was a mixture of relief, yet he had worried eyes. Something did not feel right. You guided him to sit next to you. There was explosion of curiosity, but you would not ask him until he said it himself. He sat down weakly with his head down. You kneeled in front of him, lifting his head up. You brushed his beard softly.

“Do you want to tell me about it?”

“Yes.” He exhaled. “The doctor said that Jacob lost his memory partially.”

You could see he was a little hesitant to talk about it. His face contorted. This was the face when he could not win a case in court. The face that you had not seen in a long time. He might be forgotten what it felt like until now.

“He remembers things way far before the accident. The most important thing is the doctor said it would be best if –“

“If?”

“I and Laurie are … together. Helping him adjusting to his new life slowly.”

A short ‘oh’ came out from your mouth. It was working well between you and Andy. Plus, the progress of Jacob, you thought everything was going in your favor. Now, it was not something that you imagined. Seeing Andy and Laurie back together again, even it was just for show, there were questions and questions that flooded your mind. How if Andy caught in the scenario and unable to escape his feeling? What if your relationship lost because of his old memory?

You did not realize that Andy had been calling you as you drown in your thoughts. He was asking whether you would be okay with that. You really loved him, and you just want the best for his happiness if that included sacrifice for his son, Jacob.

“Yeah. Anything for Jacob. I’ll be okay. It is just for a while, right?”

Jacob was fast asleep. Laurie peeked before she went out of the room. A smile of victory clearly displayed as she witnessed how devastated both Andy and you. She knew that she was not a bad person. Wanting her family getting back together was not a crime. As the doctor spoke to her and Andy, letting know that they had to be together again, fireworks sparked in her heart. Everything would be back as if nothing had ever happened. You were just little pebbles in her way. She was sure that once Andy felt her warmth again, he would forget you. All it took for her was to put on the best show that she needed to do.

She opened the door and walked out slowly, letting her presence known to both of you. After exchanging few words with Andy, she nodded politely and excused herself. She could not wait to pack all of her stuffs and place it back inside that house.

She watched you and Andy said goodbye from a far inside her car. A woman knows another woman, that was she thought when she saw you trying to look happy in front of him. Andy might be good in reading people’s expressions, but he was fool enough to realize your real emotions. She knew that she should not feel happy right now, but she deserved this moment. Life had given her a second chance to rebuild her family. Jacob did not remember about the accident and Andy would be living with her again. She would not mess it up again.

Moments after she arrived, Andy helped her to bring her stuff upstairs. After a long cold nights in her bed alone, she was finally back sleeping with him. All the memories flooded her mind as she stepped into that two-story house. She remembered Andy’s warm breath as she rested her head on his chest while his hand brushed against her head. No matter how bad the situation was, he was always there to ease her worries away every night. Her hands felt the softness of the fresh sheet on the bed. This was it, her fresh beginning to be the perfect family again.

Couple of weeks had passed since Jacob was home. Andy was always there for his recovery. He spent time with Jacob after work until nighttime. It had become a routine that she would stop by Jacob’s room to remind them for dinner. They would gather and talk about their day on the dining table. Mostly, Jacob told his stories about everything that he learnt during homeschooled. After dinner, Andy would talk with Jacob when they enjoyed watching football until Jacob almost fell asleep on the couch. Laurie watched everything and smiled. She did it. She almost did it.

As soon as Jacob fell asleep, Andy was a distant person. They did not spoke a single word to each other. She tried to start any conversation with Andy, but he would respond shortly. He spent every night sleeping in the guest room. The bed still felt cold. It did not even smell like him. It smelled like her scent and the fabric softener or whatever detergent on his side of the bed. Andy also often spent days doing his works and did not come home. She never wanted to know whatever he was working on. It was too much for her to understand. Besides, he would be home again to spend time with her and Jacob in any other days. She could not object to any of his decision. She just needed to give him time until he realized that he missed his old life.

She watched her son had fallen asleep on his bed. As she closed the gap on the curtain, she could see the beautiful night outside. It made her think that it had been a long time since she enjoyed running around the neighborhood. She knew Andy would not be home tomorrow as he was gone for three days working. That was when she decided to take her usual track to jog at night.

Her footstep stopped only couple blocks away from her house. She noticed a black Audi parked in front of a house. The exact same Audi that her ex-husband drove to a “three days work”. Her mind and her heart were racing. The scenarios that often came to her mind, which she brushed them off, finally happened. She did not know what was gotten into her, she walked quickly towards the door of the house. Knocking like a really scared person, she was also tapping her heels waiting nervously. Footsteps were heard approaching the door.

You opened the door. And Andy’s voice echoed from inside.

“Who is it, honey?”

You instantly froze as you found her standing in front of you. You could not even hear when Andy called. He walked to you. His hand grabbed your hand and held you tight.

“Explain yourself.” She clenched her jaw.

“Why?”

“You have your family waiting for you at home. But YOU- “, her fist rolled before she pointed at him, “you spent night in ANOTHER woman house! Is this what you called working?”

“Laurie!”

“NO! Don’t!” Her finger moved to point at you, “And you… how dare you take my family away from me? Have you got no shame?”

Andy stepped forward as he told you to stand behind him. He pushed her hand away.

“Do. Not. Raise. A Finger. On. Her.” He used his deep cold voice to talk with her. “I have enough of YOU and your little game. You thought I did not notice every time you tried to make me stay a little longer. Or the time when you tried to make as many ‘innocent’ contacts as possible, like a desperate woman trying to make be stay in bed with you.”

Laurie tried to talk back but Andy stopped her.

“What we had is over. I do everything for Jacob- “

“I do it for Jacob too! He is my son!”

“He is NOT your son since the day of the accident. You know what, this is over. I’ll talk to Jacob tomorrow that we’re done. Consider it as your mercy because I will never bring up the accident to him.”

Laurie was speechless. Her tears started to pile up on her eyes. She went back to her house without saying a single word. You could not help but felt pity on her. She was just a mother who wanted to have her family back as it used to. As if Andy could read your mind, he brought you inside to tell the truth that he never told anyone.

You never saw him this broken before. He told you everything that Laurie told him long time ago, after the accident happened. It was all because she could not believe her own son. He broke down as he remembered those hard times when he only had himself to stay strong. You could not say anything. Instead, you hugged him tight as you brushed his hair to calm him down. Both of you ended up fall asleep in each other embraces.

That night had somehow become another forgotten night. Andy had told Jacob that he and Laurie decided to go separate ways. He was a grown-up teenager. He understood everything without wanting to dive whatever his parents had on each other. Introducing you to him was another step that Andy took after a while. Having interacted with bunch of teenagers on your work, you got along pretty well with Jacob. You knew it still need time for you and Jacob to completely becoming close. But both of you tried the best for Andy.

Brighter morning had come. Summer came sooner in Newton. The warmth of the sun slowly crept in your hands as you made breakfast in the kitchen. Andy went to the kitchen. His big arms hugged you from behind. You turned around to see him clearly. His blue eyes matched with the light blue shirt that hugged his figure tight. He looked better as the sun shone brightly outside. He gave you a kiss, usual morning greeting that he did before Jacob was awake. You stepped away as you heard Jacob was coming down the stairs.

“We don’t have to keep sneaking around soon. I promise.” He whispered.

All of you ate breakfast together. You could not stop laughing with Jacob while Andy was explaining his dad jokes that both of you could not understand. This was the family life that Andy always imagined living with you for the rest of his life. Seeing you and Jacob could get along well, butterflies filled his stomach. He never felt this kind of way since he was in high school. He seemed like teenagers drunken in love all over again.

“Andy?”, you snapped your fingers. “Andy?”

“Oh sorry. What was you’re saying?”

“Aren’t you going to work? You’re going to be late if you don’t move now.”

Andy went to work. You were cleaning the kitchen as Jacob was packing his stuff. Today, he would be going to Laurie’s place. He was going to stay for a week. He could not stop teasing you, knowing that Andy and you would be alone when he was away. You never saw him this playful before and you were grateful for it.

The giggling suddenly went quiet. You did not notice since you were busy washing the dishes. Then, Jacob sobbed and wailed in pain. You rushed upstairs only to find him fainted on the floor. You immediately called Andy in panic. Before Andy reached his office, he made a sharp turn upon your call. He rushed upstairs and brought Jacob to the hospital. You watched your surroundings to check anything that caused all of this. Andy might not notice it, but there was an old court file filled with evidence, news, and other stuffs. You flipped to see the label of the file. Case Against Laurie Barber; Victim: Jacob Owen Barber; Status: Dismissed (Accident).

It did not take long until Andy arrived at the hospital. Both of you waited nervously. He kept telling you not to, but he could not stop shaking his legs. He’ll be okay. Words that he repeated to you and mostly to himself, assuring that Jacob had been through the worst, and he survived. Moment passed and the doctor had let Andy’s in. Not long after, Andy called you to joined him.

You knew Jacob was sick, but his face looked paler than usual. He showed more than discomfort. Andy’s face also got serious. You did not know what was going on. Your eyes kept looking for clue from Andy, but he was distracted.

“I don’t think I should be here.”

“No, wait!” Jacob kept you from going. “I think I need you here.”

You agreed without asking a question. Jacob might not be ready to tell you everything. Andy watched the sky as you sat next to Jacob. You held his hand as you brushed his hair gently. The medication calmed him down as he slowly drifted to sleep. You offered to call Laurie. Suddenly, he stopped you. He led you outside the room before he told you everything.

You could imagine it was hard for Jacob to remember everything. Andy was there to listen every story that he had to say. You could see that Andy was furious. He never knew that Laurie purposely kept stepping on the gas before the car hit a wall. You held his fisted palm and softly stroke it with your fingers. He took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

"Remember, she wasn't thinking straight. It wasn't easy for her."

"What would I do if you weren't here?" He kissed your forehead. "But how did he manage to find the court file?"

"We were planning on moving. Some documents may accidently fall. Unfortunate for him that he found it." You tried to reassure Andy. "Look, it doesn't matter now. Just go inside and help Jacob understand everything. He only can trust you now. I’ll call Laurie. She deserved to know about her son condition."

Her walk seemed like little run as she rushed to the hospital. She would never think going back here to see Jacob. You were supposed to drive him to her. But she got the call from Andy that Jacob went to the hospital. Still in her jogging set, she jumped on the car straight away. As she drove to the hospital, a lot of things fogged her mind. Maybe it was the side effect of the accident that time. She could not stop feeling guilty since the day she woke up in the hospital, meanwhile, Jacob was lying unconscious for years.

She supposed to be able to go and see her son. Instead, the door was blocked by you. You did not let her pass the door. She could not handle any bullshit with you anymore. As she tried to barge in, Andy stopped her track. Now, she felt that her ex-husband and his new lover were going against her. She did not want to listen any words that you and Andy wanted to say. She was Jacob’s mother after all. You and Andy finally gave up and let her in.

“Why are you here? How dare you to show up here?”

“Jacob! I am your mother. What’s gotten into you?”

Jacob went into another hysteric episode. The doctor had to rush in to give him another sedative. Andy rushed to dragged her out of the room. She was too weak to even stand up. She dropped on her knees as she cried really loud. You went to calm Jacob down and Andy went to talk to Laurie. All you can do was hoping that Andy could keep his composure and acted wise.

“I’m sorry I can’t tell you anything.”, Jacob said with a sleepy face. “One day, I promise I will.”

“It’s okay”, you smiled softly as you nodded, “whenever you’re ready. Now get some rest.”

He slowly drifted to sleep. Before that, he managed to whisper words to you.

“I’m glad dad found you.”

You knew something was off when you saw Laurie had talked to the doctor before you and Andy were arrived. The custody of Jacob went to Andy. There was no way that the doctor only called Laurie when Jacob had been awake. As soon as Andy came to the conclusion that he had to live with Laurie, you knew it was her plan all along. You were confident that you would be able to crush that smug smile she showed you in the hospital. And sure enough, Andy would always find a way to his home, which is you.

Andy decided moving the house after his big fight with Laurie that night. You were rummaging through his office to clean up some of his stuff. An interesting file found hidden in the drawer of his desk. This was it! You told yourself. You would not let Laurie got away with her efforts trying to take Andy from you. All it took was to place it where Jacob could see it. You could not wait to see what show would be unfold with this file.

Laurie could put up any show she wanted, but you were giving her the best of show.

Oh about that Benjamin Rifkin, stabbing skinny teenager like him was an easy job for you. William Barber owed you for making him feel needed by his own son.

Carnivals.

Pairing: Andy Barber x F!Reader

Genre: Fluff

Warnings: mentions of domestic abuse.

Requested: nope

Summary: Andy and Y/N meet for the first time at a carnival... or maybe it's the second time.

Author's Note: Hiya peeps! This is a Defending Jacob AU where Andy has one more kid, a 5-year-old boy called Liam. enjoy!

---

Andy stared at his son with a disappointed look on his face as the tiny 5-year-old threw a tantrum. "Are you done?" he deadpanned, which caused his son to cry harder. Taking out his wallet, Andy showed it to his son, again, saying, "Look, I'm outta cash right now! We spent it all on other snacks and games! I can't buy you the lollipop, bub." His son wouldn't hear it.

Andy was out at a carnival with his 5 year old son, Liam. Who was currently wailing at the top of his lungs since Andy was not buying him the very big lollipop they were currently staring at. After everything that happened with Jacob, Andy and his ex-wife Laurie had... fallen apart.

They decided that a divorce was the only best option so here he was now, single and had full custody of Liam. Laurie had chosen Jacob. "Liam, stop crying, come on..." Andy insisted with a soft sigh, kneeling next to his kid. "Dada! I want the lolly!" Liam sobbed, curling up against his father.

"I told you already, we spent all our money. If I go to get some more, it'll be too late. Just forget the candy, Liam, we have sweets at home," he tried. "No!" Andy pinched the bridge of his nose. "Excuse me." His head snapped up at the feminine voice and his eyes met Y/E/C. The woman had a soft smile on her face, and she was holding the hand of her own daughter.

The daughter was older than Liam, maybe 10-11 years old. "Hi there," he said with a smile of his own, standing up with Liam in his arms. He had momentarily stopped crying, also staring at the lady and her daughter. Andy really thought he had seen her somewhere, but couldn't put a finger on it. Where have I seen her?

"Can I ask you something, sweetie?" the lady addressed his son. Liam nodded. "Do you want that?" She pointed to the lollipop and Liam's eyes twinkled as he nodded once again, this time with excitement. "What a coincidence! My daughter wants one too, how about I buy one for both of you?" Andy's eyes went wide.

"You really don't have to, ma'am," he refused but she shook her head, a winsome smile that had Andy's heart melting gracing her lips. "I don't have to. I want to. Please. Your son wants it really bad, doesn't he?" Andy chuckled and ran a hand through his hair. "He does, been throwing a tantrum for the past 20 minutes."

Y/N immediately bought two of the big lollipops, handing one to Liam and the other to her daughter. "Camila, come on baby, introduce yourself," Y/N smiled. The daughter gave Andy and Liam a winning smile. "Hi! I'm Camila Y/L/N, nice to meet you!" Andy smiled back at her.

"Hi bub, I'm Andy Barber and this is my son, Liam." Liam wiggled in his father's arms and he put him down. "Let's go check out the merry-go-round!" Liam squealed as he took Camila's hand, leading her away from both the parents. "He's so cute!" Camila called out cheekily and Andy laughed. "Don't stray far, both of you!" Y/N shouted after them.

"Okay, ma!"

Once both kids were gone, Andy and Y/N moved to a nearby bench. "Do you remember me, Mr Barber?" she asked him all of a sudden and he froze. Shit shit shit, where have I seen her before? I knew it! "I, um, I don't seem to..." he stammered but Y/N shook her head, giving him a soft smile. "It's fine, I didn't expect you to. We met a long time ago."

"Where, may I ask?"

"Well, um, I was one of your clients, actually. You were my lawyer when I got a divorce from my ex-husband." Memories flashed in his head as he remembered her. "Y/N Y/L/N! Yes! Now I remember, it's very good to see you again!" Both of them laughed a bit. "It's been a nice few years."

"Camila has grown a lot, last time I saw her she was a baby," Andy smiled but it quickly faded as he thought of her ex-husband. He was a cruel man; abused his wife, took her for granted. Y/N was only 21 or 22 then, which made her around 30 now. Andy had seen her wounds a few times; she once had a swollen eye. "Mr Barber?" He snapped out of his thoughts.

"Right, um, sorry," he cleared his throat and looked away, running a hand through his hair again. "You went very quiet all of a sudden, all okay?" Y/N frowned. "Just thinking about that ex of yours. He hasn't reached out to you in any way, has he? Because if he has, that motherfucking asshole—" Y/N cut him off by laughing.

"He hasn't, don't worry. Camila and I are doing very well." He glanced at her. "No new boyfriend?" Y/N bit her lip shyly and shook her head. "Not really. It's a bit difficult to date when you're a divorcée and have a ten year old daughter. No one wants the package," she huffed. Andy took his time observing her. Gorgeous.

She visibly looked different. Her style had changed, her hair had grown... far from the young lady he met around a decade ago. She looked beautiful then, but ethereal now. Her smile was still the same, as were her kind eyes that made him warm inside even after all these years. Sure, back then, he treated her simply like a client, a friend maybe.

But now?

Something felt different.

When she smiled at him, a shiver ran down his spine. "So, how are Jacob and Laurie? Are they doing well?" Y/N asked him and he involuntarily tensed. Truth was, it had been a year since he last saw them. He had cut off all ties with them, starting a new life— just him and Liam. "I, uh... I don't know," he muttered truthfully.

"You don't...?" Y/N blinked at him. "Laurie and I, we... we got a divorce too, after everything that happened with Jacob." Y/N had heard of that, how the lawyer's own son got accused of murder. He ended up not guilty, but the damage had been done. "I'm so sorry, Mr Barber," she whispered apologetically and he shook his head. "Not your fault. And call me Andy, please."

She gave him another smile. "Andy." And butterflies flitted around in his stomach as his name fell from her lips. He liked the sound of that. "So, what was the deal with Liam? Were you not getting him the lolly on purpose or...?" He laughed and shook his head. "No no, I was ready to get him that, I just ran outta money. Spent it all on other snacks and the rides."

Y/N laughed along. "Kids, am I right?" Both of them fondly shook their heads and turned to where Camila and Liam were playing alone on the merry-go-round. The carnival was about to close, so not many people were left. Y/N stole a glance at Andy. When she had first met him, she had immediately taken a liking to him.

But it wasn't like she could do anything about it; he had a wife and a child— Jacob was only 6 years old then. Now, though... "Are you seeing anyone?" she blurted out and Andy turned to her, visibly surprised at the question. Mortified, Y/N turned away from as she bit her lip again. "Sorry, uhm, ignore me, I just, I—"

"No, I'm not seeing anyone," he answered and she looked at him. He had a soft smile on his face. "Dada! Dada, can we go home?!" Liam and Camila soon made their way over to them. "I'm also tired, ma," Camila yawned and plopped down on Y/N's lap. She chuckled and kissed her on the side of her head. "Let's go home."

"Dada, will I meet Camila again?" Liam pouted at his father. Andy and Y/N looked at each other, a deep blush gracing his cheeks as Y/N looked away from him with pursed lips and a small, embarrassed smile. "If Y/N wants," he answered finally. "I'd like that very much, Andy." Camila and Liam cheered. "Yay! Can she come over to our house?"

"Sure thing, bud. Come on, say goodbye now," Andy stood up with Liam in his arms. Camila hopped off Y/N's lap and held her mother's hand, waving at Liam. "Bye Y/N, by Cami," Liam murmured sleepily, already clinging to his father as he buried his face in his neck. "Bye, sweetheart," Y/N laughed, exchanging numbers with Andy.

"I'll text you later, yeah?"

"Sure thing, Andy."

---

"Cami!"

"Liam!"

Y/N and Andy grinned as the two kids ran towards each other, hugging each other tightly. "Let's go to my room!" Liam insisted and the two took off, running up the stairs. Y/N, who was still standing outside the front door, shook her head. "Fast friends, aren't they?" Andy called her in and she stepped into the house, taking off her overcoat. Andy took it from her. "Yep."

Y/N also took off her shoes and kept them near the door as she walked in. "You have a nice house," she complimented and he blushed again. He had thoroughly cleaned it out in the morning just because he knew Y/N and Camila were going to visit in the afternoon. "Thank you so much. Can I get you anything? Some water?"

"That would be amazing, thank you."

Soon, the two settled down on the couchs, a glass of water in Y/N's hand. "So, are you still at your old job?" Conversation flowed easily between them as they sat there, occasional squeals and giggles coming from Liam's room upstairs. "It's great how you're looking after Liam and managing being a DA at the same time."

Andy chuckled bashfully. "It gets lonely sometimes, you know? Liam asks for his mother sometimes. I know it's been a few years, he was a baby then, doesn't even remember her properly but that doesn't stop him. I have no idea what to say to him," he admitted. "Same case with Camila," Y/N grimaced.

"Sucks, doesn't it? Kids need both parents," Andy breathed out. "Sure does. My own parents got one when I was 16. I desperately hoped my marriage wouldn't end up like that but... well, it did." Andy frowned at her. "And don't you dare blame yourself for it. It wasn't you. You are the most perfect person ever, it was your stupid ex who didn't deserve you and treated you like shit."

Y/N smiled softly at his words. "I am the most perfect person ever, huh?" she teased and Andy realized what he had blurted out. But he didn't back down. "You are. You always have been. Kind, polite, caring, intelligent... a great mother, by the way... you are awesome. I may not have noticed it then but now I have."

"Can I tell you something?"

"Sure thing, sweetheart." Y/N gave him another shy smile. "I've always thought you were handsome. Also intelligent, wise... just overall amazing, ya know? But then, I meant it in the form of respect, a fleeting crush. Now, though..." Andy's gaze darkened as he watched Y/N, who looked away from him while biting her lip.

He shifted closer to her. "Now what, Y/N? How do you mean it now?" he whispered, tilting her head in his direction. Y/N shakily let out a breath and Andy smirked, catching her lips in a searing kiss. "Now I mean it in a completely different way," she whispered when they pulled away to breathe. "Glad to hear it, darling," he smirked.

"What about you, Mr Barber?"

"I like you," he blurted out, "Really, I do. Maybe you can stay for dinner tonight?" Y/N gave him a huge smile. "I'd love to stay for dinner, Andy!" He grinned at her and both of them turned to the TV. Andy leaned against the couch, Y/N snuggling into his side as he switched the TV on, settling on a Disney movie playing on one channel.

He put an arm around her shoulders, her head resting on his chest. Just as they relaxed, two people came tumbling down the stairs. "We thought we heard Coco!" Camila squealed before freezing at the position Andy and Y/N were sitting in. Y/N threw her daughter a nervous smile, which soon turned into a horrified expression as the younger Y/L/N's eyes twinkled with mischief.

"I'm sure they're about to change the channel, Li, why don't we go back upstairs?" Liam pouted at Camila, seemingly unaffected by Andy and Y/N. The two adults glanced at each other, eyes wide. "But I wanna watch Coco," Liam whined. Camila whispered something in his ear.

Liam then looked over at Andy and Y/N, a disgusted look on his face. "Ew! You two are gross!" he blurted out before running back up the stairs. "What did you tell him, little miss?" Andy huffed out a laugh. "Just that you two have been kissing," Camila smirked, "Enjoy your date!"

She went back upstairs as well. Y/N and Andy continued staring at each other before promptly bursting into a fit of giggles. "Ah, kids," Y/N wheezed, wiping away a few tears of mirth. Andy pressed a quick kiss to her temple and they settled down in front of the television again.

---

Days turned into weeks. Weeks into months and months into years.

Time flew by, only strengthening Andy and Y/N's relationship.

"Y/N! Honey!" Y/N's head shot up at the sound of whimpers and her husband's shouts as she walked out of the kitchen, wiping her hands on her apron. Andy was carrying a crying Liam into the house, a cut visible on his knee and a few scratches on his arm. Camila soon followed in with Liam's bicycle.

"He fell," Andy sighed as he placed the 11 year old boy on the couch. "Aw, honey, hang on, I'll bring the first aid kit. Andy, can you take care of the food for me?" He readily agreed and went to the kitchen, a 16 year old Camila in tow as Y/N fetched the first aid kit. "Can I tell you something?" Liam muttered as she cleaned his wound.

"Anything," she smiled at him. "You're the best mom ever. I know you're not my biological mom but... but I... I met her once and I have decided that— that I like you better. Th-Thank you for being there and marrying dad. He's the happiest he's ever been, all because of you." Y/N teared up at his words.

"Liam, oh my God," she whispered and the boy pulled her in for a hug. "I love you," he whispered and Y/N cried harder. "I love you too, I love you so much," she sniffled, smiling as Liam wiped her tears off. "Dinner is sort— Y/N? Why are you crying sweetheart?" She felt a hand on her shoulder and pulled away from Liam.

"Nothing," she sighed, giving Andy a soft smile. He blinked and looked at Liam, who was desperately trying to convince all of them that his tears were because of his wounds. "Okay," Andy drawled, "Well, dinner is ready. Why don't we all eat? You'll feel better afterwards." A pause. "We can even have ice-cream."

At the mention of ice-cream Liam sat up straight, eyes twinkling. "You promise, dad?" Andy nodded. Liam cheered and got up, waddling towards the dining table where Camila already sat, busy texting on her phone. Andy and Y/N shared a laugh as Liam flicked her on the forehead, getting a slap on the back in return.

Once both the kids were busy, Andy turned to Y/N. "Why were you crying, sweetie? You know I hate to see you cry," he murmured. Y/N sighed and rested her forehead on his chest as his arms went around her waist. "Liam told me I was the best mom ever," she breathed, "And how happy he was to have me in yours and his life."

Andy rubbed her back, a huge smile blooming on his face. "He was right. I am one lucky man, you know? To have someone as gorgeous and wonderful as you. Still can't believe you said yes when I proposed," he teased, laughing when Y/N lightly slapped his bicep.

"It didn't work out well for both of us the first time, did it?" Y/N hummed. "No, not really. But now I'm not letting this family go," Andy spoke firmly, pressing a kiss to her forehead. Y/N smiled and he instinctively reached down to kiss her lips, his hands sliding down to her butt. "How about another addition to the family, Mrs Barber?"

Y/N squealed. "Andy! The kids are in the next room!" Andy grinned. "Come on—"

"Mom! Dad! Are you done canoodling?! We're hungry!"

"Oh my— we're coming, just two minutes!"

Andy laughed loudly as Y/N hurriedly stepped out of his arms, face flushed as she entered the kitchen. He then crossed his arms and stood there for a second more; life gave him a second chance and he was, for sure, not going to mess it up this time.

---

A/N: I just realized Laurie might have come off as a bit of a... bad character in this one and for that I apologize, I'm sure she's very nice in the series. Thanks for reading, leave a like if you enjoyed!

Harvey Specter x Reader-Pretend Boyfriend (Fake Dating)

My fourth entry for @girl-next-door-writes bingo challenge! I hope you enjoy!

(Credit to the gif owner)

Third Person POV

“Hey, Harves,” Y/n greeted in a chirpy tone, the sound of her heels clicking against the floor as she sauntered into his office with a huge smile on her face, placing an expensive bottle of single malt whiskey on his desk.

“What do you want ?” Harvey asked, his eyes flicking up from the file for a few seconds, before focusing back on what he was reading.

“Who says I want something?” She said, slightly taken aback by his comment as she sat down in the chair on the other side of his desk. A small chuckle left his lips as he placed the file to the side of the table, examining the bottle that she placed on his desk before his eyes moved to focus properly on her.

“You only ever call me Harves when you want something, plus you’re being outlandishly nice,” he observed, his eyes glancing back to the whiskey bottle.

“I’m always nice!” she corrected with a sweet smile on her face. Her actions only caused Harvey to raise an eyebrow in confusion. He knew she was hiding something, normally he’d be answered with a much wittier comment than ‘I’m always nice,’. The pair sat in silence for a few moments, their eyes burning into eachothers, as they tried to work out who would cave first and break the silence. Y/n was debating whether to give up the sherrade she was clearly failing at portraying whilst Harvey tried to work out what she was hiding from him.

“Fine,” she sighed in defeat, running a hand through her long y/h/c locks.

“My parents are in town and they think I have a boyfriend,” Y/n began, a wave of anxiety washing over her as the words left her lips. She knew this was probably a stupid idea, but it was too late to leave now, she was in the lions den now, trying to leave wasn’t really an option.

“And do you?” Harvey asked, knowing the answer before it even left your lips. He knew damn well that you wouldn’t be here if you did.

“Do you think I’d be here if I did?” Y/n bit back, a hint of frustration in her voice. Harvey couldn’t help but let another small chuckle escape his lips as he looked how flustered Y/n was becoming; in all the years they’d known each other this was the only time he’d ever really seen her this nervous.

“So let me get this straight, you want me to be your boyfriend?” He smirked as the words left his mouth, taking pure pleasure in teasing her.

“Pretend boyfriend, you just have to come for dinner at mine, meet them and then we can go back to our normal lives,” Y/n explained simply, a pondering look came across Harveys face as he processed the words she’d just said.

“Plus you owe me, you all but scared off the last guy I was seeing,”

“I’m your friend, I merely warned him about what would happen if he hurt you, so what?” He defended; the memories of that particular conversation with her ex playing back in his head. Harvey was good at reading people, it was something that he prided himself on and that’s how he knew that that man wasn’t any good for her but he also knew that it was Y/n decision, so he just warned him what would happen if he hurt her, he knew she didn’t have a particularly good history when it came to dating and that last thing he wanted to see was her get hurt because some asshole didn’t know how to treat her.

“So, that means you owe me,” Y/n pointed out with an almost pleading look in her eye. Y/n knew that this was such a bizarre thing to ask, to most people it probably wouldn’t even matter, but she knew better than anyone what her parents were like and if she didn’t have a boyfriend to show them, then the whole evening would just be about why she doesn’t and that it was probably to do with her work. Her parents were lovely people most of the time, but they were quite old fashioned in the sense that they didn’t understand why she’d want to work countless hours during the week when she could be a stay at home wife and no matter how much Y/n explained her reason for doing it, the conversation near enough always ended in an argument and right now Y/n just didn’t want to deal with all of that. Harveys features softened slightly as he looked at her, he could see ther desperation evidently in her y/ec eyes and he hated it, he hated seeing her upset.

“When’s the dinner?” He asked, with a smile on his face, watching as the relief seemed to wash over Y/n.

“Tomorrow at 6,” she answered quickly; hoping that he’d still be able to make it on such short notice.

“It’s a date,” Harvey joked, feeling his heart swell slightly at the sight of her beaming smile. Y/n quickly said her thank yous and left the office, happiness and relief emanating off of her. Harvey eyes followed her out of the room, before meeting Donnas gaze when Y/n vanished from view. Donnas glance said it all, it was a glance she’d given him multiple times in regards to you. A look that screamed, ‘Tell her the goddamn truth.’ Donna like Harvey, could read people very well, she was Donna, there wasn’t a thing she didn’t know. And she knew that they both had feelings for each other. She knew that they both had their reasons for not wanting to admit them, neither of them had a particularly good track record when it came to relationships and neither of them wanted to hurt each other and ruin the friendship that they had built but she was hoping hoping that now, after this dinner, they might actually admit their feelings to one another, and if they didn’t then she might just lock them in a room until they did.

~~~~~~~~~~

First Person POV

“So how long have you two been dating” My mum asked, sipping her wine.

“Umm..only a few months,” I answered, mentally cursing myself for stuttering on such a simple answer. Harvey obviously sensed how anxious I was about this and delicately grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers together, his thumb rubbing soothing circles on the back of my hand. I was surprised no one heard my heart beating, that simple action was enough to have it beating like I’d just run a marathon.

“How did you meet?” She asked in a sickly sweet tone.

“At work, we work in the same law firm together,”

“I guess that means you’ll be provided for then” my dad instantly said as soon as the words left my mouth.

“Dad,I can look after myself,” I reminded, making sure that my tone didn’t show any of the annoyance I was currently feeling.

“Nonsense, at your age I’d already had you and your brother,” my mum argued, a flicker of disappointment momentarily clouding her eyes as she looked at me.

“Well I’m focusing on my career, rather than having children,” I answered honestly, only for my dad to scoff at my answer, shaking his head disapprovingly.

“I know you enjoy your job but is it really what you want to spend the rest of your life doing, being a lawyer is a great opportunity but it’s nothing compared to having a family,” he finally said, not meeting my eyes once. I went to say something but before I could he’d already started speaking again, but this time his eyes were on Harvey.

“What do you think on the matter Harvey, surely a respectable man such as yourself would understand that it’s a man's job to provide and a woman's job to stay at home,” as my father said those words I could see the rage flicker in Harveys eyes, as he squeezed my hand harder.

“Y/n is an amazing lawyer, one of the best I’ve ever known, I’d never ask or expect her to give up the career she’s worked her ass of to build,” Harvey answered bluntly, taking a swig of his whiskey.

~~~~~~~~~~

Third Person POV

Y/ns parents obviously didn’t like what Harvey had said in regards to Y/n, it was obvious not just in how they looked at him but with how silent they’d grown. Before, it felt like they were playing a game of twenty questions but now, Y/n struggled to get more than a one word answer from them. Harvey felt his heart ache for her, he knew that she loved them that was clear by how hard she was trying to impress them, he could see the sadness in her eyes at their blunt replies. He wanted nothing more than to hold her, to tell her that her parents' view on the world was medieval and outdated but he couldn’t do that with her parents here, so he just squeezed her hand softly, grabbing her attention as his thumb slowly circles onto the back of her hand. A small smile graced her face before she continued to eat the food in front of her. The dinner soon ended and her parents soon left, they couldn’t get out the door fast enough whilst muttering goodbye as they left.

As soon as they left, Y/n let out a huge sigh as she gathered up the empty plates putting them into the sink, Harvey being the gentleman that he was, gathered up all of the empty glasses and placed them into the sink.

“Are you okay?” Harvey asked breaking the silence that’d been engulfing them since her parents left.

“I’m fine, I’m sorry,” Y/n answered, feeling a wave of embarrassment wash over her.

“Why are you apologising?” The confusion was clear in not only his voice but in his demeanor as well.

“For my parents, I know they’re kind of-

“Medieval,” Harvey finished with a solemn smile on his face, Y/n just nodded at his words, another long sigh escaping her lips.

“It’s late, Harvey you should probably go,” Y/n said, making her way towards the front door. Harvey nodded in agreement, grabbing his coat and putting it on. The closer he walked towards the door, towards her, the faster he felt his heart beating almost like it could beat out of his chest. Y/n went to open the door but was stopped by something completely unexpected. Harvey kissing her. Their lips molded perfectly together like they were made for each other, instantly she placed her hands on his face whilst he grabbed her waist, both of them pulling the other closer than ever before. She’d heard that he was a good kisser, but this, this was unlike any kiss she’d ever had before, it was an intoxicating high that she never wanted to end. A small whimper left her lips when they finally pulled away from the kiss, a huge smile beaming on both of their faces.

“I have been waiting so long to do that,” Harvey muttered against her lips, squeezing her hips lightly as he placed a delicate kiss on the tip of her nose, a small giggle coming from Y/n as he did so.

“I like you, Harvey,” she whispered to him, their lips inches apart.

“I like you too, Y/n,” Harvey whispered back before closing the distance between their lips.

Rating Penthouse: War In Life characters

I asked my followers on Instagram to give me Penthouse characters to rate and my thoughts about them so I thought to post it here as well. Now this is my personal opinion about how I feel about the characters and how much I will rate them

⚠️⚠️THIS CONTAINS A FEW SPOILERS⚠️⚠️

My Instagram: Tempobaek

Logan Lee

10/10

Lemme just say I love him SO MUCH

LOGAN LEE BEST BOY

I absolutely loved his character and the fact that he was one of the few people who wants justice and is honest made me love him even more

Him playing Go Hu Dong was amazing as well and I didn't recognize him at all at first like he played it so well with the accent, costume and wig and everything

His accent and language switch in between English and the Busan accent Korean was so fucking sexy🥵

✨Mr. Joo✨

My man was also smart with his revenge

He was also serving amazing LOOKS every episode in the two seasons and I loved every single one of them

And I'm going to be honest here, after watching the preview for S2 ep13 his laugh was creepy in one of the clips and after reading a few theories I lowkey thought that he would be the next villian

I regret suspecting him now

But instead of that they gave us a bigger plot twist and blew up our man with a bomb😩

He literally went ✨LiGhT iT Up LiKe DyNaMiTe✨ (I'm so sorry)

I would've rather have him be a villian than die in the bomb

I MISS HIM ALREADY AND LOVE HIM SO MUCH😭

DID I MENTION THAT I LOVE HIM

Joo Seok Kyung

7/10

Another one that annoyed me angered me so much🙄

Like she was ruthless and had no mercy when it came to bullying and putting people down that she thought were a rival or putting people down in general

She didn't change even when Rona died

She also went as far as to like cheat her way to win the Cheong Ah Art High School trophy and blackmailed Cheon Seojin to win the trophy

But there were times where she would show emotions and those would be often her break down and weak moments

And those moments would really show how she is broken inside and puts up a careless and brave image, she is someone who needs healing even though healing takes time

I also saw someone saying like 'oh Seok Kyung hates her mom so much'

Yeah she hated her mom but she didn't hate her to death like she didn't wish death upon her

Seok Kyung was heart broken when she heard Suryeon's death and that showed that she still loved her mom even though Suryeon didn't give birth to them

I was heart broken when I saw that she cut her hair because here was no one there to tie it for her bc Suryeon loved Seok Kyungs long hair and that's why she didn't cut it but after he mothers death no one was there to tie her hair for her

I started seeing her in a different light after a while bc again it showed that he character was very broken emotionally and needed healing

I'm interested about seeing more of her character development after the last ep where she defended Rona

Also my girl is so hot, another one that was serving amazing looks

Joo Seok Hoon

8/10

He was lowkey annoying at first ngl

Like my man was just🧍🏻‍♂️

It annoyed me so much how he defended his sister so much, fell for her tricks, covered up for her and did anything she said EVEN though its wrong

But after some time I understood that he cared for and that she was the only family left to him

I mean Seok Hoon hate Joo Dan Tae so he doesn't counts and Suryeon was dead at the moment

I will still not forgive him for bullying Seol A even though he regrets it

It also annoyed me how he didn't stood up for Rona at all in the first season even though he liked her

By he got so much better in S2, he was even part in the revenge plan

He is literally the human CCTV camera in Hera Palace like he knows more than even the viewers know

The way he was protective of Rona when he found out she was alive was so aDORABLE

And my man was amazing in the last episodes

I love him

Cheon Seo Jin

4/10

THIS WOMAN MAKES MY BLOOD FUCKING BOIL

Like I sometimes just was to 🤜🏻👩🏻

But sometimes I wanna hug her😩

Idk I feel like she became a horrible person bc of greed and that he father and mother placed too high expectations for her

Instead of praising her for her accomplishments her parents wanted her to do more

Maybe that's why she was desperate for love and affection and found that in Joo Dan Tae even though he pretended to like her

But that definitely does not dismiss her horrible actions

But also the harsh past made her the could hearted person, like she left her father to die

She felt more care towards her daughter after she almost lost her because Eunbyeol tried to commit suicide

She was in alot of pain and you could see it in her cries and when she was on the phone with the person

Soyeon's acting was amazing in that scene

She started to care more about her ex husband and daughter when she saw how much Eunbyeol was suffering and she realized that she genuinely liked Ha Yoon Chul hwen she saw how horrible Joo Dan Tae was

I did feel bad for her sometimes but after seeing that she didn't change I really didn't feel any sympathy for her

She needs therapy

Girlie was shocked when the doctor said she is losing her voice like bestie you are screaming every episode

She was also serving amazing looks every episode

Ha Yoon Chul

5/10

The first male character I simped for

Like I am not going to deny it but he is hot🥵

But the first few episodes he was an absolute asshole and greedy

But I never expected him to be Yoonhee's ex boyfriend

I did like him a tiny bit when he saved Yoon Hee from Kyu Jin

His entrance in S2 with the helicopter was damn hot

And I WAS SO SHOCKED WHEN HE SAID MEET MY WIFE OH YOON HE

LIKE YAY MY SHIP IS SAILING

I spoke too soon

His character development and fighting skills were hot as well

He was ADORABLE with Rona and Yoonhee

I seriously thought that Rona was his daughter

BUT THAN AT THE CHEONG AH FESTIVLE OOF SIR I WANTED TO PUNCH HIM

I WAS SO MAD WHEN HE SABOTAGED RONA'S PERFORMANCE

I began hating him after that💀

Like he went 📈📉 with his character development

AND THEN HE CLEANED EUNBYEOL'S MEMORY FROM THAT NIGHT LIKE SIR SKSHSKSHKS SHE DID HAT TO YOUR DAUGHTER

I actually asked my dad what he thought about what Yoon Chul did and this was his reponse:

"If you look at it from a parents perspective they would want to do anything if they saw their child in pain like he did but I would've also scolded her and had a conversation with her about why she did it instead of wiping her memory from that night like he did. "

So that's that

I LOVED IT WHEN YOON HEE CAME WITH THAT BLOW AND TOLD HIM RONA WAS HER DAUGHTER

Jonghoon's acting was chef's kiss in that scene

I was going to rate him a 4 but I gave him that 5 when I saw how he was at court, he admitted to his wrong doings but also still had feelings for Yoon Hee

I wanna see his reaction in s3 to Rona now bc now that he got to know that is his daughter I wonder how he will be

Lee Kyu Jin

1/10

AN ASSHOLE

USELESS

WHY IS HE HERE

Like I have nothing to say about him rather than I hate him and that he useless just like his wife and son

HE IS LITERALLY NOTHING WITHOUT HIS MOM

I'm only giving him that one bc he was funny in the episodes

THATS THE ONLY REASON HE IS THERE JUST FOR COMEDY PURPOSES

Go Sang Ah

0.5/10

ANNOYING 2.0

USELESS 2.0

ALL SHE DOES IS SPEND HER HUSBAND AND MOTHER IN LAW'S MONEY

LIKE SHE AIN'T EVEN WORKS

UNLIKE KANG MARI

The only thing she does is gossip

And spills the tea☕

SHE IS LITERALLY NOTHING WITHPUT HER HUSBAND AND HIS FAMILY

Giving her a 0.5 bc she is kinda funny eh

Lee Minhyuk

0/10

ANNOYING 3.0

USELESS 3.0

ASSHOLE 2.0

Idk if it runs in the family but again he is useless

And a dumbass

He also nothing without his parents

Why is he there tho like you ain't even funny

All he can do is cause trouble

And bullied Jenny

His dumbass slipped and broke his own arm and blamed it on Rona smh🤦🏻‍♀️

Sometimes I just wanna 🤜🏻👦🏻

Also my dude was trying to sound all intimidating by saying

"Oh Jenny's father is a scary man, yOuR dEaD BaE rOnA"

Like dude worry about yourself bitch you are dead first for bullying Jenny

But like I hate the character but LOVE THE ACTOR HE IS SO HOT OMFG

Joo Dan Tae

0/10

ANOTHER ONE THAT PISSES ME OFF SO MUCH AND MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL

SOMETIMES I DONT WANNA 🤜🏻 I WANNA 🔪

LIKE I HATE HIM WITH A FUCKING PASSION

I DONT CARE ABOUT HIS PAST OR ANYTHING HE IS A GREASY, GREEDY, PSYCHO, OBSESSIVE MANIPULATIVE, POSSESSIVE PSYCHO

Like I legit thought he was nice in he first ep and then I saw him kiss Seojin and-

Me: 🤨😧😃🤮 MY EMOTIONS WENT LIKE THAT

LIKE HE IS SO FUCKING POSSESSIVE OVER SURYEON, AEGYO AND SEOJIN LIKE ITS DISGUSTING

I WAS GETTING YANDERE BEHAVIOUR FROM THAT OLD MAN

PURE TRASH

Bae Rona

9/10

I LOVE HER NOW

RONA BEST GIRL

She was also annoying at first and was very ungrateful

But over time she got better, still a tiny bit annoying sometimes but better

When she came back from the US I WAS LIKE GIRL NO YOU FINNA RUIN THE PLAN

I do feel bad for her bc she went through alot with bullying, her mom going to jail not only once but twice, her getting to know that Yoonchul who she started liking sabotaged her performance, and also literally almost dying

My girl has been through a lot

AND WHEN SHE RUNNED TOWARDS THE STAIRS OUTSIDE WHEN EUNBYEOL WAS CHASING HER I WAS LIKE GIRL RUN TO THE HALL YOU RUNNIN OUTSIDE

I am excited to see her reaction to getting to know that Yoon Chul is her dad

Part 2 is also posted!

warnings: language, jk is horny😐 but she lets him hit it🤠, annoying kids

word count: 2.1k

synopsis: halloween with jungkook and his cousin.

timeline: takes place after the events of in your eyes

↳ in your heart; masterlist

a/n: this is late but EYES WIDE OPEN IS A BOP. i need to start writing my next fic and stop writing drabble skdjdjd

"Fuck, you look so good. Lets just go to your place and spend the night there. Fuck them kids," Jungkook's hands disappeared under your purple dress that he adored and despised at the same time. He wasn't complaining but he didn't want any other person possibly looking up your dress to catch a peek of his favorite pink panties.

"We're not ditching Hyun. You promised him last time that you wouldn't miss out again," he groaned as he instantly knew what you were referring to. Last Halloween, he ditched the both of you for a girl he was wanting to mess around with. Jungkook wasn't going to let this opportunity pass up so last minute he notified you that he wasn’t coming.

"Stop reminding me of my shitty mistakes," he sighed. His face was buried into your green scarf that tickled you every five seconds. His slicked back hair brushed against your cheek constantly. His hands slipped under your underwear causing you to yelp and push him away. "What the hell is wrong with you? It's Halloween and there's kids around."

He pouted, his lower lip pushing out. "What's wrong with me? Not my fault, you look incredible," his eyes lingered on your purple gogo boots that he seemed to be obsessed with. Even imagined you bent over with them while he was behind you, pounding into you. You looked so angelic with them on. He wasn't sure how long he can hold himself back for. "Why would you wear this if you know how I am?"

"It's our costume, dumbass," you pointed at his white pollo shirt with the bright red tie in between. His dark jeans which tightly enclosed around his thick thighs. "I'm Daphne and you're Fred Jones," you turned away from him, waiting on his cousin to burst through those doors anytime soon so you could avoid Jungkook’s stare.

"Why couldn't we be Shaggy and Velma?" he leaned on the hood of his car, watching a child trip over his own feet. He was close to bursting out in laughter but you shot him a glare just in time. "I wasn't gonna laugh. Seriously though, we're better off as them. Appearance wise—well actually Daphne could've suited you more than Velma but whatever."

You rolled your eyes and stood next to him. His arm came around your shoulder to hold you close. His Victoria's Secret perfume was strong but you don't comment on it."Hyun wanted to be Shaggy. It would make way more sense for him to be, he has a dog."

The second you finished your sentence, a brown Great Dane puppy came running down to you from the house his owner was in. Her steps are big as she leaped to make it to Jungkook and you fast. You squealed, throwing your boyfriend's arm off of you. Jungkook would whine about it but how could he, when it's a cute puppy.

"Nala! Hi girl, how are you doing?"she wagged her tail around as you bent down to caress her fur. A red harness around her chest but no sign of a leash on her. "You don't have your leash on, go put your leash on!" she ignored you and jumped on you again.

"We should get a dog," Jungkook thought out loud from thinking about it too hard. His ears flushed a tint of red from the tip. He turned to see your reaction but you don't appear to be bothered from his suggestion. He released a breath he didn't notice he was holding in. His stupid mind wondering the impossible. There was no way you would want a dog with him.

Luckily his aunt and cousin saved him from any more trouble. He rolled his eyes when Hyun came running to your arms instead of him, his cousin. His brown hair was messy to fit the role of Shaggy. Honestly, Jungkook still thought that he would've made a perfect Shaggy.

"Aww, you look so adorable Hyun! I haven't seen you in almost a year," you hugged him tightly. Ignoring the way your boyfriend was glaring at him, he kissed your cheek. "I can't believe I missed your birthday, I'm so sorry."

"It's okay," he reassured you as his mother came from behind him. She greeted the two of you, mentioning how she was happy when she found out the news of the two of you being together.

"It was about time," she muttered under her breath, taking a glance at Jungkook when she bent down to hook the leash on Nala. He looked away, ashamed of previous actions. If Jungkook could’ve been with you over sooner, he would've stopped fooling around with other girls. "Alright, you got everything?" Hyun nodded and gave his mom a kiss. "Behave good for Jungkook and Y/N," she turned to you, handing over this pumpkin basket. "If anything happens please call me. Have him home by ten please."

"We will, come on Hyun," you held your hand for him to take. He hugged his mother again before grabbing your hand. The contrast between the two was cute, your larger hand engulfed his. Jungkook made sure that he rubbed the top of Hyun’s head gently so he wouldn't fuss about Jungkook being extra vicious with him.

Hyun waved at his mother as Jungkook clutched his free hand, watching her figure shrink. He tightened the grasp around your hand. Nala walked in front of you, sniffing all the areas. She became annoyed at one kid, dressed as a witch, coming to pet her harshly. Jungkook was close to telling the child to fuck off but you warned him.

"You're not dad material," you followed Hyun to a house. Jungkook's hot on your trail and ready to defend himself but Nala ran towards a plant to piss on it. "Seriously, don't bother trying to get me pregnant, I do not want your babies."

"Oh shut up. You told me I'm daddy material."

"I thought we agreed we weren't into that too," Hyun ran up the house with the minimal decoration. There were really no other Halloween decorations besides the basket outside with a note on it and a pumpkin on the right. Talk about being in the spirit. "It says to take one," you pointed at the basket filled with bags of candy.

"Take all of them."

"No! Just take one."

"Take all of them, who cares?"

"I care!" you turned around to give him a dirty look. He was already smiling at you, apparent that he knew that he was annoying you. "Take all of them, one of the kids are eventually going to," he shrugged when you continued to stare at him. "I'm speaking facts, bubs—oh! Nala's pooping, did you bring a bag?" he asked while having a stare down with the puppy. Her eyes stared simply at Jungkook as she continued her business on the freshly mowed grass.

"Why would I bring a pooping bag?!" you turned towards him and away from Hyun. He picked up handfuls of candy, nearly putting it in his basket before he noticed something.

"Well shit," Jungkook laughed, looking around to see if any other kid heard him. There's a group of kids coming for the house you're standing at. "My aunt didn't give me one."

"I'm not leaving the poop here," you pointed to the sign that clearly said to pick up after your dog. Jungkook groaned before becoming aware of what was in Hyun's hand. He handed him the poop bag, small poop emojis imprinted over it.

"That's so cute," you gushed over the stupid bag and the puppy too. You don't listen to the basket of candy being emptied into Hyun’s pumpkin basket, too engrossed into Nala. Jungkook shot a thumps up to Hyun, satisfied with his cousin.

Even if you do seem to notice how full his basket was despite only being to five houses, you don't mention it. His collection of candy for the night was becoming so full, Jungkook had to carry some in the pockets of his blue jeans until they eventually became stuffed. He also filled up a takeout bag of Burger King where Jungkook took the two of you to eat.

Nala's on his lap, sleeping from the almost two hour walk. Jungkook picked her up after the first hour and was pleased with how sweet she was in his arms. She clearly enjoyed his warmth the most out of the two of you. The evidence was her snoozing in the middle of noisy fast food place. Hyun was somewhat tired and ready for bed. His bedtime was nearing and the signs of exhaustion were lucid.

"Is Y/N like your girlfriend?" Hyun asked, his chicken nuggets being sloppily dipped in the ketchup. His feet swung high since he was unable to touch the ground.

"Sadly, yes," Jungkook sighed and looked over at you. He smiled at you as he watched the grin grow on your face. "We're dating now. No longer am I a free man, Hyun."

"If you marry her then does that mean she's like part of the family?" Hyun blinked. A bit of ketchup sliding down the corner of his mouth before you wipe it for him.

"Yes—actually I don't what she'll be to you but yes she'll be apart of the family," Jungkook grabbed a fry before pointing it at you. "So if you want her to become apart of the family, tell her to start proposing to me."

"Isn't it the other way around?" he asked, innocently. His curious eyes make your heart flutter.

"No," Jungkook and you respond at the same time. He kicked your boot lightly underneath the table, smiling like an idiot. "Y/N will be proposing to me, we would like to break stereotypes. I want an expensive ring too and I expect you to take care of me."

"Can I be your boyfriend too?" Hyun almost cut off Jungkook to ask his question. You could practically see the steam rushing out of Jungkook's ears the second his cousin finished. You giggled and nodded. Jungkook kicked you underneath the table, trying to persuade you to glance over at him. Hyun hugged you, eyeing your boyfriend. The glint of the sinister in there from your response.

"Well if I marry her, she's my wife," Jungkook jabbed his pointer finger into the boy's chest. "And you're just her boyfriend so you would be nothing compared to me," he leaned back. His arms crossed over his chest, his biceps flaunting out of nowhere. You mentally rolled your eyes at his competitiveness emerging. "Besides she said she wanted a big strong man not a little boy like you."

"That's not true, right?" Hyun turned to you. His eyes begging to you that you truly did not say that. You were prepared to disagree but Jungkook spoke again.

With a playful smug on his face, he rubbed the end of his combat boot against your exposed skin. "That's not she told me last—"

You kicked his leg harshly, earning a cry from him. He grunted as his small jump away from you awakened the puppy. "Be quiet, we're literally in a public place," your cheeks are warm from the information about your intimacy he was spilling out. "We should get going, it's getting late," you slid out of the booth and ignored the protests of the boys who wanted to stay longer. You poured water into Jungkook's hands for Nala to drink outside before departing.

Jungkook carried Hyun on the way back. Slumber made up its mind and took over the exhausted kid. He had poured his energy out running from door to door. Jungkook offered to also carry Nala on his other side but you didn't want to force him to bear all that weight so you suggested for him to take the basket. Once you returned to his aunt’s home, his uncle removed Hyun from his arms before thanking you for looking after him and wishing you a good night.

Jungkook's ready to doze off too tired from the events of tonight to even go to his own place. His ascot tie undone by the time he reached your small apartment complex. He almost missed it if he didn't stop to stare into the mirrors to make sure he wasn't parking on the red line. Your fingers hooked around the ends of your pink lacy underwear before pushing it down. He doesn't grasp how in a blink of an eye, you're on top of him with your buttons from your dress undone.

“What are you doing?” he asked, his hands already on your hips to direct them. Jungkook fidgeted as he watched you pull the straps of your bra down slowly. He was on the verge of taking you right then and there in the backseat of his car as you teased him.

“Giving you your sweets too.”

series masterlist

A/N: as always, thank you for all the love you’re giving this story. we have about six chapters left to the end and words cannot describe how grateful i am to you for sticking with me and my rambling writing. ENJOY !

A significant weight was lifted off Spencer’s shoulders the second he told you how he truly felt about you. Actually, it was more the second you said you loved him back.

Even though the two of you distanced yourselves from one another, giving you the space to really think about your future and who you wanted to spend it with, the week that followed the admissions was considerably good.

Yes, the brunette doctor continued to feel uneasy about the situation he put you in. Uneasy about the choice you eventually would have to make. However, as days went by he noticed it didn't seem to bother you. No. You were oddly chirpy and cheerful. Spencer couldn't help but feel like it was because of him.

Like your choice was already made, and that choice was him.

“Do you have plans tonight?” You asked in a hushed tone, slyly glancing around the bullpen to ensure no-one else was paying attention to you and the doctor.

Spencer shook his head. “Not entirely, no.”

Your lips curled into a smile at his response. “So you wouldn’t mind if I came over?” You asked, gently tapping your fingers in a walking motion against his desk. They stopped next to his hand - you could feel it was there, yet you didn't move your fingers further in fear of someone seeing. “There’s something I want to talk to you about.”

Spencer mouth twitched into a pleasant smirk. He should have been nervous, what if you were going to break the news you were choosing Ethan? He should have been anxious, the thought of losing you all over again, he couldn't imagine how awful that would feel. Yet he didn't feel any of those things.

Judging by your relaxed body language. Your hand just aching to touch his. The way your eyes glistened looking at him. Your elated tone as you spoke. It didn't take a genius, a profiler, or even someone that knew you as well as him, to say these were all indicators whatever you wanted to talk to him about was happy.

“Of course.” He cleared his throat. “What time do you think-”

“I’ll let you know, okay? I know you like to switch off for the weekend so keep your phone on you for me.” You traced a finger against his knuckle and with one last smile, ambled elegantly towards the exit.

Yes - Spencer deducted - whatever you wanted to tell him was going to be good news.

A knock on the door grabbed Spencer’s attention. He quickly examined the place one last time, to ensure everything was clean and, well, perfect for you.

Satisfied, he eagerly crossed his living room and without thinking twice, expecting to see you on the other side of the door, he opened it.

“Hey Spencer.”

But it wasn’t you. It was the last person he ever expected to see.

“E-Ethan, what ehm, what are you doing here?” Spencer asked.

Ethan smirked at the question, slowly sliding his hands into the pockets of his coat. “We need to talk, don’t you think?”

Spencer swallowed, but before he got a chance to reply the surgeon continued. “Actually, I’ll talk and you can listen. Also don’t bother inviting me inside because I’ll keep this brief and to the point.”

Your fiancé cleared his throat. “Imagine my surprise when I found out my wife-to-be still has feelings for her ex boyfriend. Did you know she is actually on her way here to tell you she’s choosing you? Yeah... Now, she doesn't know that I know. Her plan is to inform me tomorrow, after my shift at the hospital, that the wedding is no longer happening and our relationship is over.” He paused, almost as if he was daring Spencer to interrupt him at any moment and defend your honour.

Which in hindsight is something Spencer should have done.

“So here’s how this is going to do, doctor.” He slurred. “When she comes here, you're going to turn her down. You've broken her heart once before, I’m pretty sure you know how to do it again.”

Spencer stepped forward and opened his mouth to protest, but the surgeon impolitely cut him off. “Look, you’re a smart guy. Some sort of genius, right? I think deep down you know Y/N is better off with me. I can provide for her in ways you can't even comprehend. I am going to give her a life you can only dream of Spencer.”

“I think you’re forgetting it’s not all about the money.” Spencer stated coldly. His eyes narrowing. Jaw clenching.

Ethan chuckled callously. “Of course not. But I think you need to consider how much disposable income can improve life. I have the ability to ensure we buy our dream home. I have the ability to invest in a second home for her father, and move him somewhere closer to us. With me, Y/N will be able to quit her job and no longer risk her life on a daily basis. She will be able to spend time with our future kids, in a beautiful home, completely care free.”

He let out a deep sigh. “Did she even tell you she’s been thinking about transferring out of the BAU? She doesn't want to be a profiler anymore. Fuck man, she doesn't even know if she wants to be a SSA anymore. The only reason she’s sticking around is you.”

The statement caught Spencer completely off guard. Ethan had to be bluffing, right? He would say anything to ensure you stayed with him, right?

“You’re lying.” Spencer grumbled through his teeth.

Ethan smirked in response. “I’m really not though. Ask anyone. Her dad, it was actually he who suggested it in the first place. Or your friend Penelope, she seems to think it’s a good idea.”

Spencer’s world was crumbling down around him and he was helpless to stop it. Why didn't you tell him this was on your mind? Why did you keep this a secret? And how did he not see any inclination of this before?

“Like I said, you’re a smart guy Spencer.” Ethan stated. “I think you know what the right thing to do is.” And with that, he walked away leaving the brunette agent alone with his thoughts.

Slowly, Spencer closed the door. He turned on his heel and leaned against it while letting out a long winded breath, one he didn't even realise he was holding.

He never wanted to stand in the way of your plans. He didn't want to be the one holding you back from anything. Was his ever growing love for you clouding his judgement?

He closed his eyes, resting against the door behind him. The guilt he was now feeling riddled him from head to toe. And mixed with the guilt was a faint feeling of anger. Anger directed at the man that dared to get between your relationship with the brunette agent.

Ethan, a name of Hebrew origin that means firm, enduring and strong. A good name for good people.

Spencer knew off many Ethan’s in his lifetime. His college friend, an old colleagues son - all people that definitely lived up to the meaning. Yet your fiancé was anything but.

This Ethan was arrogant, rude, possessive. In Spencer’s mind, this Ethan was quite literally the physical embodiment of the curse word dick.

He never truly understood what you saw in the guy. He always thought you could do a lot better. Even if it wasn’t Spencer himself, there are men out there a lot kinder than Ethan.

And yet, despite all of the resentment he felt towards the man, Spencer couldn't help but feel like there was some truth to what he had said. The hazel-eyed man started doubting himself. Doubting whether he really had your best intention at heart, or whether his own selfishness was preventing him from making sure you’re living your best life.

This was supposed to be a happy day. A happy evening.

It certainly started out that way. You were on your way here to tell him you were choosing him. You were choosing to spend the rest of your life with him.

Spencer felt sick to his stomach. Dizzy. He was sure if he opened his eyes even just for a second he would collapse. He also knew the only rational thing, the right thing to do will only make him feel worse.

The brunette agent wasn’t entirely sure how long he stood frozen like that. His breathing shallow. Heart sinking, heavy.

A knock on the door behind his back caused him to slowly open his eyes, yet he didn't move an inch. He simply couldn't. He couldn't bare to face you. He couldn't bare to look you in the eye and break your heart for a second time.

Instead, he chose the childish way out. He hoped if he was still enough, quiet enough, you would think he wasn’t home and leave. It is a conversation that cannot be avoided, but it would be a conversation for another day.

You knocked again, using a little more strength this time.

Spencer held his breath. Tears began to form in his eyes. Salty droplets that if he let escape, he knew they wouldn't stop falling.

He heard faint shuffling outside and for a split second he thought you gave up and walked away. For a split second he thought he bought himself more time. More time with the fantasy that the two of you would get your happy ending together. Foolish, he thought.

It was in that moment the mobile device in the back pocket off his pants started to buzz, vibrating against the door. The phone you asked he kept close to him earlier that day. The sound of the ringtone followed soon after completely giving away Spencer’s current location.

“Spencer?” The sweet sound of your voice coming through the wooden barrier between you caused the tears he was fighting to slowly trail down his face. The device stopped ringing. “I know you’re in there. Can you let me in?” You said, so blissfully unaware of what was about to happen.

Spencer turned around and pressed his forehead against the painted wood. His hand travelled to the door knob, yet he still didn't move any further. “I-I... I c-can’t...” He managed to blurt out.

“What do you mean you can’t?” He heard you ask, the hint of confusion in your tone aching his heart further. “Spencer, what’s going on?”

The brunette doctor licked his lips and swallowed, tasting the saltiness of his own tears. “Y-you should go Y/N.” He uttered.

“Go? Spencer, you’re not making any sense.” You responded, the door knob rattling under Spencer’s fingers. “Please let me in. I’m not going to say what I want to say through a door.”

“Don’t s-say it at all. You should be with E-Ethan. Your future will be brighter with him.”

Silence. Unbearably heartbreaking silence.

At first you thought your ears were playing tricks on you. There was no way he just said that, right? A week after he told you he loved you. A week after he said he'll always wait for you. A week after he proposed. There was no way he changed his mind.

And then you thought of his time in prison. More specifically the day you went to visit him for the last time. The day you wanted to propose. The day he broke your heart.

He used those exact words - “Your future will be brighter without me.”

Slowly, you placed the palm of your hand on the door between you and took in a deep breath. Your eyes glossed over as the confusion rushing through you evolved into sadness.

Spencer could pinpoint the exact moment the air changed around him. It was suddenly tense. Broken. He felt like a coward. Even if he had your best interest at heart, he should still be able to face you and explain his side in person. Tell you that Ethan came by. Tell you everything that was said. Ask about your plans to leave the BAU. Ask whether he really was the only reason you haven't resigned yet. But he couldn't formulate the words. He simply gave up. A coward.

“Spencer, I-I don’t understand...” You sobbed. “I-I thought-t you loved me.”

“I love you more than anything in this world Y/N.” He quickly replied, the palm of his hand now pressed against the wood. Unbeknown to him, against the exact same spot on the opposite side of the barrier was your hand. So close yet so far.

“Then let me in. Please. I-I came here to say I choose you. I want to be with you Spencer. Please... Please let me in.” You cried through the door. Spencer could hear the pain behind your words, the sorrow. It really took all the strength he had not to let you in.

“I’m sorry Y/N.”

Your hands trembling uncontrollably against the barrier between you and the man of your dreams.

His sudden change of heart left you completely speechless. His words like tiny daggers stabbing directly into your bleeding heart. How did this happen? What changed between now and this morning? What changed between now and last week? You had so many questions. Ones that you feared would remain unanswered.

Additionally, your gut was telling you there was more to this than he was letting on. That it wasn’t as simple as ‘Ethan is the better man for you’ because you knew Spencer didn't believe that. But you couldn't find the strength within to argue with him.

“If-f that’s w-what you want Spencer, I’ll leave-e.”

It was the last thing he heard before the sound of your footsteps ushering away.

After a minute, the hazel-eyed agent moved to the couch and sunk into the material. Every fibre of his being was currently aching. He hoped he did the right thing, although the voice at the back of his mind said no. What else was he supposed to do? He knew Ethan wouldn't just give up. Was Spencer prepared to fight for you? If tonight was any inclination the answer would also be no.

Spencer’s gaze locked onto the small box in the middle of his coffee table.

It was a considerably good week, and it was supposed to end a hell of a lot better than this.

Every part of me says, "Go ahead" But I got my hopes up again, oh no, not again

A/N: i hope you liked this chapter! and i am so so sorry for giving y’all false hope with the last one! i promise these there are happy times ahead for these two just not quite yet... as always i’d love to hear your feedback! if you would like to be added to a taglist, please let me know. thank you for your continuous support. with love, mal. x

Destini's POV

𝗜 𝗪𝗔𝗦 𝗖𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚 up the kitchen while Alayah played in the living room with her Barbie dolls. Kareem had some business to handle at his skatepark involving some new employees. So it's just my daughter and me. As I'm wiping the counters off, my phone starts ringing. I looked at it to see it was an unknown number. Curious as to who it could be, I answered the call.

Hello?

202-319-2060 - Hi, you may not know me, but you know my boyfriend. I'm going to say this one time and once only. It would be best if you stayed away from my boyfriend.

Haha, and who's your boyfriend, sweetie?

202-319-2060 - Your baby daddy.

Oh, so you're Marcos's new girlfriend?

202-319-2060 - Yea, and I'm his soon-to-be wife.

You're saying that like I give a fuck.

202-319-2060 - Bitch stay away from him!

Hard to do that when I have his child.

202-319-2060 - And he won't be coming to your house to pick her up either.

Girl bye. He will if he wants to see her.

202-319-2060 - Ha! Do you think he loves that brat.

Oh, not the fuck she didn't.

Listen closely, you delusional bitch. YOU BETTER WATCH YOUR FUCKING MOUTH SPEAKING ABOUT MY CHILD!!

202-319-2060 - I said what I said. Leave my man alone because he doesn't want you.

If I wanted him back, I could have him. Point. Blank. Period.

I angrily hung up on the bitch, not allowing her to say anything else. Scrolling down to Marcos's contact name, I called him via FaceTime.

' Hello, Des. '

' Tell me why your girlfriend just called me. '

' She called you? How did she-ugh she must've gone through my phone because she doesn't have your number? '

' Forget all that shit. This bitch said I need to stay away from you like I'm trying to take you from her. '

' What else did she say? '

' She called your daughter a brat, and I said, first of all, don't call her that, and second, if I wanted to take Marcos from you, I could and would. Period. '

' Don't stress about it. I'll talk to Naz. '

' You better, or I'm going to find someone to fuck her up. You know I will. '

' I know. I'll call you back. '

' Okay, bye. '

Marcos's POV

Letting out a sigh of frustration, I ran my hand down my face. This girl won't give me a break, will she? I released a breath through my nose before turning my car on and driving back home.

Unlocking the door to the apartment, I closed it behind me, seeing Naz resting comfortably on the couch. As I approached her, she never once looked up to see me, and I knew she saw me standing there. I stood in place for a couple of minutes before grabbing the remote and turning the tv off. That got her attention.

"Que haces!?" She gasped, turning to me. ( "What are you doing!?" )

"Oh, so now you want to speak?" I questioned, tossing the remote on the coffee table.

"Why'd you do that, Marcos?" Nazanin asked, still appalled that I shut the tv off.

"Did you call Destini today?" I inquired, crossing my arms.

I watched her facial expression change from irritation to shock, but she quickly covered it. "No. Why would I talk to that bitch?"

"Yo, watch your fucking mouth," I said, accused defending Destini as I pointed my finger at Nazanin.

"No fuck her!" Nazanin shouted, standing to her feet. "You spend all your time with her but never with me."

"That doesn't give you the right to call my ex and bad mouth her then call my DAUGHTER a brat," I explained, raising my voice at her. "It's one thing to talk shit to Destini, but it becomes a problem when you bring Alayah into the mix."

"First of all, I didn't call your daughter a brat." Nazanin denied shaking her head.

"Why would she lie?" I asked, shaking my head.

"Maybe because she doesn't want us together. I told you she still had feelings for you. She's trying to take you from me!" Nazanin argued, standing in my face.

"Oh my fucking god, bro! Destini is NOT trying to take me back. She made it clear that she doesn't want me back." I explained, feeling my anger rising.

"I don't fucking care! You shouldn't even be talking to her." Nazanin argued, swinging her hands in the air.

"Why wouldn't I talk to her. I have a child with her." I defended, walking into the room.

"SO FUCKING WHAT!!" Nazanin yelled, stepping up to me, and she pushed me. I had to admit that pissed me off, but I couldn't put my hands on her. "What? Do you want to hit me? Go ahead so I can put your ass back in jail."

When she said that, I knew that Nazanin surfaced her true feelings.

"Okay, you want to go there? Bet." I questioned, nodding my head. I entered my bedroom and grabbed some clothes, stuffing them in a duffel bag.

As I walked out of the room and passed Nazanin, she suddenly got a look of worry in her eyes. It serves her right to say some fucked up shit like that.

"Where are you going?" She asked, but I ignored her. "Wait, please. I'm sorry, Marcos. I didn't mean it." She went to grab my hand, but I snatched it out of her grasp.

Grabbing the car keys, I left the apartment to my car, leaving Nazanin to think about what she had done before. As I stopped at a red light, I texted Leo.

Is it cool if I stay with you and Erika for a couple of nights?

Leo🤪😈💥 - Yeah, man, I don't mind.

Aight, thanks, bro.

Once the light turned green, I drove off to Leo's house. As I turned down their street, my phone started ringing from the cupholder. Once I pulled into their driveway, I parked the car and answered the call from Nazanin, irritated still.

Yes, Naz?

Nazanin😌💖🎈 - Where are you?

I'm not staying there for the next couple of nights.

Nazanin😌💖🎈 - Macros, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it.

No, you're not sorry. What you said wouldn't have come out of your mouth if you were.

Nazanin😌💖🎈 - I know, and I sincerely apologize.

Nah, Naz, that was some fucked up shit to say. Do you honestly want to send me back to jail?

Nazanin😌💖🎈 - No Marcos, I was only angry. It came out of anger.

I'm good on that. I'll call you tomorrow.

Before she could say anything else, I hung up the phone. Getting out of the car, I grabbed my stuff and knocked on the front door. It opens, revealing Leo, who stared at me, confused.

"So, what's up? Why do you need to stay over for two nights?" He asked, shutting the door behind me after I walked inside.

"My girl and I got into a fight," I replied, following him to a bedroom downstairs.

"What happened, if you don't mind me asking?" Leo asked, sitting on the window seal.

"Destini called me saying that Naz called her talking shit. She said we were going to get married and shit." I explained, laughing because last time I checked, I never said anything about making Naz, my wife.

"Esa chica esta loca verdad?" Leo questioned, throwing his head back, also laughing. ( "That girl is crazy, right?" )

"Yea, no kidding, then she had the nerve to call Alayah a brat when you were all giggling and shit in her face days ago.

"Right, like keep that same energy," Leo replied, nodding his head.

"Exactly," I said, agreeing with him. "So I went to the apartment, and we argued, and Nazanin denied it, saying Destini is lying because she doesn't want us together. At this point, I'm fuming on the inside."

"I hope you didn't put your hands on her," Leo said disapprovingly, shaking his head.

"Fuck no, I would never do that. No matter how mad I am," I replied, looking at Leo as if he was crazy. "Anyway, Naz doesn't want me around Destini no matter what, and as I'm staring at her pissed off, she says some of the most fucked up shit to me."

"What did she say?" Leo questioned, staring at me intently.

"She said to go ahead and hit her so she can put me back in jail," I answered, and his eyes went wide.

"Bro, no way." He gasped, shaking his head.

"I'm not lying," I said, running my hands over my face.

"At this point, that should be sending up some red flags, and you should address the situation at hand," Leo explained, sitting up straight.

"What situation?" I questioned, confused.

"Oh, díos mío, Marcos." Leo rolled his eyes, sighing. "Do you want to continue a relationship with this girl if she's starting to become possessive?" ( "Oh, my god, Marcos." )

I sat there, allowing Leo's words to process in my head. Did I still want to continue this relationship with Nazanin? Maybe but if I end things now, where would she go? Nazanin has nowhere to go but her parent's house. When she moved in with me, she told me that she and her parents had a big fight and hadn't been on speaking terms. The more I thought about it, the more I thought she was lying.

"Ya know I'm not the person to hurt someone's feelings intentionally, but I don't want to hurt Nazanin," I explained, shrugging my shoulders.

"It's obvious she doesn't care about your feelings if she said some foul ass shit like putting you back in jail," Leo remarked, nodding his head. He's making some sense.

"I guess you're right," I replied, nodding my head, taking in his words.

"When am I not?" My best friend cockily replied, smiling.

"You cocky fucker." I laughed, tossing a pillow at his face.

"It's who I am." He shrugged, throwing the pillow back on the bed.

I laughed as Leo and I continued talking to each other about random shit. The sound of my phone dinging made me not want to read the text, but I checked it to see it was a message from Destini.

Destini❤️🥀🥺 - Are you at home?

No, I'm at Leo's. Why?

Destini❤️🥀🥺 - Can I drop off Alayah she wants to see you.

Yea, I'm sure he and Erika wouldn't mind.

Destini❤️🥀🥺 - Okay, I'll be there in twenty minutes.

Okay.

Setting my phone next to me, Leo spoke before I could say anything.

"Was that Des?" Leo asked, making me nod my head.

"Yea, she wanted to know if it was cool if she dropped off Alayah," I answered as he folded his arms.

"Of course, it's cool. Alayah's my niece, after all, and I love her." My best friend said, grinning at me.

Leo stood up, and I followed him out of the room to the living room, where I sat next to him on the sofa. He went to Hulu and played a football game that was on there. About twenty minutes later, the sound of the doorbell echoes throughout the house. I got off the couch and opened the front door, and my daughter greeted me with a big smile.

"HI, DADDY!" Alayah yelled, holding her arms wide open.

I laughed, shaking my head as I picked her up in my arms and hugged her. "Hello, baby girl. How are you?"

"Good. I missed you." She excitedly smiled.

"I missed you too," I replied, kissing her cheek.

Setting Alayah down to her feet, she ran into the living room, greeting Leo as I looked at Destini.

"She has a bit of a cold, so give her the medicine in her bag," Destini said, getting ready to turn and leave.

"Okay, and uhm, I'm sorry for what happened earlier with my girl calling you." I apologized, nodding my head. Nazanin had no right to do what she did, and she knows that.

"Don't let it happen again. Keep your bitch in check." Destini replied, shrugging her shoulders. "Alayah, come and say bye."

Alayah came running to the front door and hugged her mother, kissing her on the cheek. "Bye, mommy."

"Bye, baby, have fun," Destini said, waving at our daughter.

"I will." She nodded, running back to the living room with Leo.

"I'll drop her off in the morning," I said, and she turned to walk away.

"Okay." She nodded, and as I watched Destini get in the car and drive away, I felt terrible that she had to get cussed out earlier.

Closing the front door, I locked it behind me and walked into the living room, seeing Alayah sitting next to Leo, cuddled into his side as they watched Doc McStuffins.

"What happened to the game?" I asked, sitting on the couch.

"The queen has spoken," Leo said, smiling down at my daughter.

"Are you hungry, my sweet girl?" I asked Alayah looking down at her.

"Yes." She nodded, grinning at me.

"What do you want to eat?" I questioned, lifting her into my arms.

"Chicken nuggies." She laughed, clapping her hands together.

"How about McDonald's" I suggested knowing she would nod.

"Yes, with chocolate milk, please." Alayah smiles at me.

"As you wish." I returned that smile and kissed her cheek before grabbing my keys.

Walking out of Leo's house, I got in my car and headed to McDonald's drive-thru.

Leo's POV

Once Marcos left to get Alayah some food, I smiled at my niece as she sang along with the cartoon show. It made me think I had a daughter to do this with daily. Seeing Alayah made me wish I had a daughter of my own to love and spoil. I couldn't wait until Erika came to me saying she was pregnant. Hopefully, when Erika does become pregnant, it'll be a mini her with dark curly hair and her eyes.

"Uncle Leo, where's Auntie Erika?" Alayah asked, making me snap out of my thoughts.

"She's upstairs. Want to go surprise her?" I questioned with a smirk.

"Yea." Her eyes lit up with excitement as she nodded her head.

Jumping up to our feet Alayah and I raced upstairs quietly as we made it outside my bedroom door. The only sound coming from the bedroom was the sound of the tv, so I assumed Erika was sleeping. Slowly opening the door, I did find Erika not sleeping but scrolling on her phone with her back towards the door.

Leaning down to Alayah, I whispered, "On the count of three, you run inside and jump on the bed, okay."

"Yes." She giggled, nodding her head.

"Okay. One. Two. Three." Opening the door, Alayah ran inside the bedroom and jumped on top of Erika, catching her by surprise.

"What the fu-oh hello, my little sweetheart." Erika smiled, pulling Alayah into a hug. The little girl giggled, hugging her auntie back. "How are you?"

"I'm good. Did I surprise you?" Alayah asked my fiancé.

"Yes, you did, and I loved it," Erika replied, kissing her cheek. "Where's your mommy?"

"She's at home." My niece replied, shrugging her little shoulders.

Erika nodded and looked at me, and I replied, "It's a long story."

"Okay, good that my little munchkin is here now. Where's your daddy?" Erika asked, sitting up in bed.

"He went to McDonald's to get me nuggies," Alayah replied, jumping on the bed.

The front door closing caught my attention, and I knew Marcos was back with Alayah's food.

"Come on. Your daddy's back." I said, helping my niece from the bed.

"Yay! Chicken nuggies!" Alayah screamed, running out of the room.

Following Alayah down the stairs, she ran up to Marcos as he sat at the table in the breakfast nook. While they ate, I sat back in the living room and continued watching a football game.

⏤ beta read by my girlfriend @peekaboongi // commissioned in exchange for blm donations

⇥ Main Series Masterlist

On Hoseok’s birthday, you find yourself on a private yacht in order to celebrate. As usual, you’re surrounded by Namjoon, his sons, as well as Yoongi, Seokjin and, of course, Hoseok himself - who wanted a quiet dinner in order to celebrate. Though, realistically, a quiet dinner with three children isn’t exactly possible. Ship coasting on the gentle waters of the Han River, you enjoy the mellow, lightly chilled, breeze wafting through your hair. Despite being at the end of winter, thanks to the space heaters littered around the deck, you barely feel the cold wind.

“Noona can you help me with this?” Jungkook asks from his seat beside you - his sweet voice pulling you out of your reverie. Shifting your gaze to him, you note the way he’s pointing at the large prawn sitting on his plate - the crustacean marinated in garlic butter as it glistens under the waning sunlight.

With a kind smile, “Sure, Gukkie,” you reply before reaching over. Easily, you break off the head of the prawn before squeezing the meat out the shell and placing it onto his plate.

“You did that awfully easily, ____” Hoseok comments as he swallows down the morsels of lobster he’s chewing on. Gaze shifting to him momentarily, you casually shrug your shoulders before turning to help Jungkook deshell the rest of his prawns.

“Me too, Noona! I can’t eat my clams,” Taehyung pipes in from beside Namjoon. And shortly after him, “And my crab!” Jimin calls out from next to his twin.

Angling your head to both of them, you frown slightly - a little confused by their requests. “Have you never eaten seafood before?” you question, a small, puzzled frown marring your lips. Taking pity on the twins, you watch as Yoongi and Seokjin pull their plates besides them - helping them clean their seafood. Simultaneously, Seokjin lets out a little snort before turning his attention to you.

“Are you kidding? With Namjoon as their father?” Seokjin playfully teases, sending a pointed glance towards your boyfriend. For a moment you frown, not really understanding his words, and then, it dawns on you; your lips forming a perfect ‘o’. Namjoon doesn’t like eating seafood. Nonetheless, from your right side, you hear your boyfriend huff.

“It’s not my fault I don’t like eating seafood,” he mumbles under his breath, his lips pursing into a small pout.

“But that doesn’t mean you can’t feed your sons seafood - there’s no reason they should miss out on it,” Yoongi butts in, and though your concentration is firmly on Jungkook’s food, you can clearly hear the playfulness in Yoongi’s voice.

“Yeah, Namjoonie, you may not like seafood, but your sons do,” Hoseok chimes in with a snicker. Done with deshelling Jungkook’s food, you turn your attention back to the adults, only to notice the slight tinge on Namjoon’s cheeks and the amused smiles on Yoongi, Hoseok and Seokjin’s faces.

“You don’t know if they like seafood or not, they’ve barely eaten it,” Namjoon tries to argue, and you shake your head slightly, already knowing he’s fallen into their trap. As soon as those words escape your boyfriend’s lips, you watch as identical, wry grins creep onto their faces.

“Oh really?” Hoseok questions, an impish twinkle in his eyes. Brown eyes alighting with mirth, he directs his attention to the boys, “Jiminie, Taehyungie, Jungkookie, do you like seafood?” Hoseok questions. Finally catching on to where this is going, a look of exasperation colours Namjoon’s face as he sullenly takes another bite of his steak.

Hearing Hoseok’s question, the boys immediately beam with bright smiles before nodding ecstatically. “It’s Hobi-hyung’s favourite so I like it lots!” Jimin replies, his cheeks puffing up as his eyelids form little crescent shapes.

Instantly, Hoseok begins cooing at the oldest twin, “That’s a good boy. Here you go, you can have a piece of my lobster,” he says while picking up some of the meat and passing it onto Jimin’s plate. Seeing the large chunk of meat, Taehyung and Jungkook immediately perk up.

“Hobi-hyung! I like seafood too!” Taehyung and Jungkook call out at once, causing Yoongi, Hoseok and Seokjin all to guffaw at once. From beside you, however, Namjoon lets out a defeated sigh with another shake of his head.

“I can’t believe my own sons have betrayed my like this,” he dramatically mutters under his breath. An inkling of pity runs through you, and reaching your hand out, you comfortingly pat Namjoon’s thigh.

“Not only your sons, but your girlfriend too,” Seokjin says while pointing his knife towards your plate, where small, empty oyster shells sit on the edge of it.

Pout deepening, “I can’t believe you too, babe,” Namjoon laments, causing you to quirk an eyebrow.

“And why is that?” you question, the corners of your lips twitching in amusement.

“Because! You’re a marine veterinarian! How can you work with them and then also eat them… especially when they’re so cute,” Namjoon replies, and though you want to laugh, the soft look on his face - from his adorable pout to the way his cheeks are tinged in embarrassment - prevents you from doing so.

“You know I mainly work with marine mammals right, Joon?” you gently point out, then after a brief pause, “Besides, I just like seafood,” you continue while patting his strong thigh.

“Maybe you should try some, Namjoon. Here, I’ll even give you my prawn,” Seokjin says while holding out the large crustacean towards your boyfriend. Immediately, a look of horror crosses Namjoon’s face as he baulks. Rolling your eyes, you chuck your cloth napkin at Seokjin in playful ire.

“Okay, okay, that’s enough, let Namjoon eat his steak in peace,” you say. Turning his attention to you, Seokjin levels his best puppy dog eyes at you; but you simply roll your eyes and send him a pointed glare, causing him to give in with a chuckle.

“Thanks, ____. You’re the only one who supports me here,” Namjoon sighs dramatically before leaning over and pressing a kiss to your temple. Angling your head, you smile brightly at him, and instinctively, you move to press a kiss onto his lips. However, immediately, Namjoon jerks back before his nose crinkles in mock distaste. “Absolutely not, you’ve been eating seafood,” he teases, his eyes sparkling with mischief.

The moment the words fall from his lips, your jaw drops open as you gape at his - surprise written all over your face at his rejection. When you hear Yoongi, Hoseok and Seokjin begin snickering from opposite you, you quickly shut your mouth before lightly smacking Namjoon’s thigh. Bottom lip jutting out, you huff, “That’s the last time I defend you,” you mumble under your breath. With a light chuckle, Namjoon leans in before pressing a kiss to the corner of your lip.

“I was only joking, Angel. You know I love kissing you no matter what,” he says, his voice low as his breath fans your lips.

Face softening at his words, you roll your eyes before acquiescing to him. “Yeah, yeah. Just eat your stupid steak,” you reply, causing Namjoon to grin and smack a wet kiss onto your cheek.

The rest of the dinner passes smoothly - the boys taking over the conversation as they ask a hundred and one questions about everything and anything under the sun. Eventually, however, the conversation pauses, in order to sing Hoseok a happy birthday while he cuts the cake before the eight of you share your dessert. As you continue enjoying the evening, the sun slowly fades behind the horizon, the sky darkening as night falls over, which brings you to now.

You’re currently standing at the edge of the deck - leaning on the railing while you look out at the landscape. Indolently, the yacht moves over the water, the large skyscraper buildings that make up the metropolitan of Seoul gently flitting by. The sun has completely set now, and the dark of the night only draws attention to the bright neon lights that pass you. A fresh breeze blows through the air, causing goosebumps to prickle at your skin. It’s cooler now, the crisp night air wafting over your skin as a shiver runs down your spine. Instinctively, you nestle further into Namjoon’s coat, relishing in both the scent and warmth of the large woollen jacket.

Idle chatter murmurs through the air as the conversation continues between the adults, though, you barely participate - more than happy to simply watch the landscape pass and soak it all in. Somewhere along the deck, you can hear the twins and Jungkook running around; playing a game of tag as they try to entertain themselves. Closing your eyes, you take in a deep breath - smelling the fresh air around you - before exhaling deeply. Suddenly, however, you’re broken out of your thoughts, when you feel someone tug at the hem of your dress.

“Are you okay, Noona?” Jimin asks as he looks up at you in worry. Heart clenching at the concern etched onto his delicate features, you grace him with a smile before nodding.

“I’m alright, Puppy,” you reply. Jimin frowns for a moment, his head tilting to the side - almost as if he doesn’t believe you. However, after a couple of moments, he relents with a nod. Instead, he raises his arm for you to pick him up. Bending over, you easily lift him into your arms, the small boy tucking his head under your chin as he directs his gaze out to the river.

“Noona? Are there dolphins in the Han River?” he questions, as he points out at the large body of water, and you can’t help but chuckle at the curiosity in his tone.

“No, Puppy. Han River is made up of freshwater, and while there are a few freshwater dolphins, most of the species live in saltwater,” you reply easily.

Jimin nods under your chin, but before he can open his mouth again, “Noona!” twin cries echo across the night, and the two of you are joined by his siblings. Taehyung and Jungkook come up to either side of you, Jungkook looking up with a small pout as he notices his older brother in your arms. However, rather than saying anything, he simply shrugs it off after a few moments, and turns his attention to the river.

“What about sharks? Do you think sharks live in the Han River?” Taehyung asks.

“Or maybe stingrays?” Jungkook pipes in with his own, and you laugh lowly at their questions. Clearly, they must have overheard your conversation with Jimin. Nonetheless, before you can reply, you’re joined by the rest of the party.

“How about orcas?” Seokjin questions with a squeaky laugh as he joins you.

“Hmmm, no, but maybe seals?” comes Hoseok’s playful addition.

“I’d like to think giant tortoises live in the Han River myself,” Yoongi says with a sage nod. You know all their additions are completely whimsical, yet you can’t shake your head at their teasing antics.

“Hmmm, what about whales, ____?” Namjoons asks as he comes up behind you, and with his question, you let out a deep sigh of fond exasperation, causing all of them to chuckle. Within your arms, Jimin begins fidgeting, making you bend over and put him back on the desk.

With Jimin out of your arms, Namjoon uses the opportunity to wrap his own arms around your waist before pulling you into his chest. Warmth encasing your back, you exhale deeply and nestle further into his frame. Silence falls over the atmosphere, with only the gentle whirring of the yacht’s engine and the soft sound of water rippling breaking the calmness. The eight of you stare out at the open river as the ship begins making its way back to the marina.

“It’s really pretty out here, isn’t it?” you ask quietly, your words barely audible. In fact, your voice is so low, that only your boyfriend hears you. Bending his head, he nuzzles his nose into your hair before taking a deep breath.

“Not as pretty as you,” comes his reply. Despite the cheesiness of his words, you can’t stop the grin that creeps onto your lips. Twisting in his hold, you wind your arms around his thin waist while looking up at him through the thick of your eyelashes.

“I could say the same about you, you know,” you teasingly backfire. The corners of his lips twitching, Namjoon bends his head and drags the tip of his nose against yours, causing your eyes to flutter at the ministration.

“Are you saying I’m pretty?” he asks, the deep timbre of his voice tremoring through the air as his warm breath washes over your face.

“I am, indeed. In fact, I think you’re the prettiest,” you respond, making Namjoon snort in amusement. Puckering his lips, his peppers your mouth in soft kisses, making you sigh in contentment.

“I think we’ll have to agree to disagree then, because I think you’re the prettiest,” he replies, each of his words broken up by even more of his gentle pecks. Once he’s done speaking, Namjoon places his lips fully onto yours, the thick petals of his mouth slotting perfectly against yours. Tongue flicking out, he licks the seam of your lips in a bid for entrance, but rather than giving it, you pull away. Namjoon frowns at your actions, his eyebrow quirking in question as you grace him with a lop-sided, mischievous grin.

“I thought you didn’t want to kiss me because I taste like seafood,” you remind him. The moment the words fall out your lips, Namjoon’s frown morphs into a playful smirk.

“Hmmm, but you taste like wine now,” he says, before once again dropping his lips onto yours. This time, you’re unable to resist him, and immediately, your mouth parts open in access. Using the opportunity, Namjoon’s tongue slips between your teeth; the silken appendage sliding along yours tantalisingly.

Your kiss only lasts a couple of moments, before suddenly, “Ew, Daddy! Noona! Gross,” and, “Honestly, can you both go two minutes without eating each other’s faces?” echoes through the dark night. Face flushing with heat, the two of you instantly break apart. Reflexively, you bury your face into Namjoon’s chest: in an attempt to hide your mortification, while your boyfriend simply holds you tighter in comfort.

“Hey, ____?” Hoseok calls, and hearing the faux innocence in his voice, your eyes narrow. Turning your head from Namjoon’s chest, you look over at him with a quirked eyebrow. “It’s my birthday you know… So I think if anyone deserves a kiss, it should be me,” he continues with waggling eyebrows. With a blank stare, you gaze at him, your brain slowly processing his words. It only takes you a few short moments, but once you do, you can’t help but snort.

“Sure Hoseok, why not,” you sarcastically remark - already knowing he’s only teasing you. Waggling his eyebrows harder, Hoseok puckers his lips dramatically before making kissy faces at you. However, this time, before you can say anything, you find your boyfriend huffing.

Wrapping his arms tighter around you, he levels a small glare at Hoseok before tilting your body away from his best friend. “Yeah, birthday or not, I don’t think so.”

a/n: ᵘʷᵘ thank you for reading! i hope you enjoyed it! please lemme know what you thought if you did 🥺👉🏼👈🏼
