" Let's just part ways here, " Saying those words felt a bit disheartening at some point, yet you chose to disregard it.

You walked forwards, while Chan stayed in his position, wearing his coat and fixing his tie. Although, something stopped you. As in you couldn't go forwards as much as you force to. Well when you did force yourself, it only tugged Chan towards you. Turning around, he was already eyeing you. " What was that for?! "

Glaring at the thread, you thought out loud, " Is this string telling me, it can only stretch itself approximately at 7 meters?! "

Twin buildings towered above you two, heavy work's shouting for the both of you. You suddenly feel so small when you found out who this dude was in the company. Either way, you stepped inside the building next to him as if you're supposed to be. You don't have any other choice though unless you wanna be dragged by this buff guy and look like a fool rolling around since the thread is invisible to the public.

" I'm surprised that you don't know who I am, " He stated as you entered the elevator with him. You could tell how much of a fuss this is already when you walked in those doors alongside him.

" Does it really have to be my fault when I only started working here a few months ago, Mr. CEO? " He responded with a chuckle.

" It's Mr. Bang, well, at work. You can call me Chan when we're not. I don't like such formality and bringing work on my rest hours. "

" Oh, so you're that Mr. Bang. The one I hid from last night, " You whispered the last sentence.

" Pardon? " The elevator chimed as you reached your floor, opening its doors swiftly.

" It's.. It's nothing, " You stuttered and hastily stepped out of the elevator while Chan followed. " Why are we on my floor again? Isn't yours like, at the very top floor just to have that stunning view of the world or something? "

" Seems like some fanfiction you got there for me, " He chuckled first while you lowered your head in embarrassment. " But no, my office is at the opposite building, about two or three levels above yours which means it's the middle floor. In addition to that, I have to discuss matters with your boss due to some adjustments that we have over here, " He brought up his thumb to your view, talking about the red string. " Just hand over the documents then wait for me outside by the door, copy? " Chan explained as he stopped in front of a dark oak door, knocking on it three times.

" Adjustments? What- "

" Come in, " The voice on the other side of the door called out. You could've had a short session of hesitations first but this Bang Chan just opens the door widely and gives off such superior vibes that gave you the chills - like he should 'cause he's the CEO, he freaking owns the place. You did wonder why you haven't been fired yet after every informalities you've shown to him. What a great first impression you got there for a Chief Executive Officer, you're never gonna get a promotion to get out of this trashy position.

The surprising entrance of the uninvited and unexpected guest caught your boss off-guard. " Ah! G-Good morning, Mr. Bang! " Ms. Kang frantically stood up and bowed, her phone slipping off of her hands and onto the desk. Looking up, she saw you behind Chan, your hand fidgeting around the strap of your bag while head held down. " And Ms... (Y/N)? " She questioned as she averted her eyes back to Chan.

" Pardon me although I won't be here for long, I'm only handing you the documents like you instructed, Ms. Kang. " You said while handing her the documents. She took a quick scan on it before she gestured you to leave. Following Chan's instructions, you wait by the door as soon as you've shut it. Trying your best to not let curiosity get the best of you and eavesdrop, you distracted yourself by scrolling through your phone and jamming to some Monsta X's songs.

" May I ask what business brought you here to my office? "

" I'd like to compromise. "

It wasn't long that you've thought about getting fired and promotions, not even hours had passed.

Yet here you are, promoted and working as the CEO's assistant on that very day like it's the only choice. Standing on the polished marble floors, opposite side of the building, in his high-class office. It was spacious enough to fit two office desks and a lounge (probably for coffee breaks or small meetings) yet grand-looking with the accent walls and chandelier. The smell of lavender and the nice fluorescent glow it had made it better. Speaking of glow, you suddenly missed Kim Seungmin, the only co-worker friend you got. His bright presence who would constantly bother you from time to time during work hours. You can't really pinpoint whether he is an angel or demon with that fact because most likely you're the one being scolded instead of him. He better be jealous by the time he finds out you're now a CEO's Assistant.

" Ms. Kang got what she wished for in exchange for you getting the 2nd best achievable seat in the company, " Chan continued to elaborate the discussion in the room where it happened as he took a seat, not even bothering to help you fix your new desk if he was a gentleman. Honestly, it's undeniably comfortable being around this man despite you only got acquainted with him this day.

" Seriously? Can't you just promote me with a snap of your fingers? " You whined, arranging all of your things out from the container.

" Maybe if I had the infinity stones, " He first joked and you're not taking it. " Although it's Ms. Kang, there's an exchange for everything with her, " He casually said, looking through his emails with his chin resting on his fist.

" I- " Learn to shut your pesky little mouth, (Y/N). Your own conscience just sealed your mouth from babbling nonsense.

Well, let's think about the bright side. First up, you're promoted, meaning you'll get a way higher pay than before. Second, you're free from Ms. Kang's grasp. Third, Chan seems like a nice and chill boss. If your impression on him will be proven wrong, in any way he couldn't be as worse as Ms. Kang 'cause so far he saved your butt and doesn't mind your attitude.

" Ah, right. You're staying at my house for the meantime, " The book you're trying to place on the top shelf just fell on your head, making you lose your balance and fall to the ground. The loud thump made Chan glance at you, preventing himself from laughing. With your head aching and vision uneven, you tried to process what he said.

" What did you say? " Chan stood up from his chair and made his way towards you.

" I said you're staying at my house until we figure out how to break this thread off, " He answered as he offered a hand for you to take. This simple action made you tense, feeling your face heating up. You gladly took it with weak legs, though you eventually got back to your own feet without his support.

" Yours? Why not mine? I bet it's closer to work than yours. "

" You got a lot of complaints, I hope you know that. "

" No I'm not! Just.. talkative, " You bluffed, pouting. " And fine, your house then. Mine's probably not as presentable as yours anyway. "

This is the red string of fate that kept you two together the whole time, knotted around one another's finger securely. Both of you share the same thoughts while sitting on the couch in the living room of Chan's luxurious penthouse. It did offer extravagant views of Seoul from the top of the apartment, making everything feel so surreal. Could it possibly be malfunctioning? It's supposed to stretch out without limitations as well as it'll be invisible to the naked eye including yours, according to the tales and legends you've heard as a child. Most importantly, how could you break it off?

" Maybe this had to do something with the child, " Chan thought to himself, legs crossed and eyes trained down to the floor. " You cleared our schedule for the week, correct? " He looked towards you, catching your gaze on him.

" Yes, I did. Why? " You couldn't help but be enchanted in his brown eyes. It did look brighter in the sunset than before as the sunlight kissed his face. You wanted to take a closer look at it as to what it may hold within those orbs.

" You know the child back in the train? The one who placed this string of fate around our fingers? " With those words, you were snapped back into reality.

" Child? No? I was asleep, remember? " You looked away and a dog's appearance caught your attention, feeling soft and in 'awe' for it immediately. It had some large brown spots on its white fur, fluffy and has this wavy ears. It looks quite similar to that dog named 'Lady' in "Lady and the Tramp". Noticing that it was really friendly even with strangers, you patted its head lightly as it neared you. Chan witnessed you bond with his partner, smiling. The dog was ecstatic to make new friends with you that it jumped to your lap. Giggling, you ruffled its fur and kissed its forehead. " Seems like you're well loved, baby~ " You cooed, booping its nose.

" She's Berry, by the way. " Chan informed you while watching you play with berry's paws.

" I have to say, she's the cutest, " You flashed a beaming smile at him, eyes forming into crescents. Chan couldn't do anything but smile back, his heart slowly melting at the scene in front of him. You caught the sight of his dimples, which made you think that it's now one of your favorite features he has. If everyday's like this, it'd be such a bliss. Yet you know it'll somehow be just another memory you'll treasure since there will be an end to this.

Back to reality, Chan further tells you the details of the occurrences while you were sleeping. " Ah, right. About the child. If my memory serves me correct, he was blonde headed and had ocean blue-like eyes. He's about 4'6 feet in height and the one who placed this thread around our fingers. When I tried to run after him, he just vanished into thin air. "

" You sure you're not being delusional? " You carefully placed berry down on the couch then made your way to the kitchen.

" Positive. " He replied while petting his companion, who's getting some rest first, before following you. You asked him what his plans were, wrapping your fingers around the refrigerator handle. Opening it, you scanned for available foods due to your stomach being upset in this whole conversation. There's a lot of goods, especially meat. You're assuming that this man eats a lot even when he's on his own. While you were busy with that, Chan thinks of an itinerary for the whole week to get your own lives back. Until, his deep thoughts were interrupted by you.

" How about we eat dinner first so then you can plan properly, hm? You want steak? " You asked, placing the ingredients you need right in front of his view. His eyes just twinkled before you and were already on the raw steak, famished.

" Chris wants steak, please! " Enthusiastically said by Chris, giggling afterwards.

" Steak coming right up just for Chris! " He responded with a small clap, smiling ear to ear. You have to be honest, your first meeting with him is just the worst than any other possible happenings to you two's first meeting. Yet you're satisfied that at least you met him in some way that brought you closer, especially with this string of fate. And today's gonna be a long night for the both of you.

It's very late at night yet your body wouldn't let you rest despite Chan giving you his whole king-sized bed while he sleeps on his divan couch a few meters away, or so you thought he's fast asleep. Although the comforter, mattress, pillows, just the bed as a whole is definitely a 5-star, you can't really sleep easily in someone else's home that you just met. Minutes that felt like hours passed, your eyes were blankly staring at the ceiling. The silence was quite dreadful for you usually at night, which is what you get for watching a fairly ton of horror movies. With a few sessions of hesitations, you decided to break it by calling Chan first. " Psst. Hey Chan. Who designed your house? "

After a short pause, you received a fade sound of shifting and a groan. " A friend of mine. His name's Hyunjin. Why do you ask? " He responded, staring at the same ceiling as you. Arms resting behind his head.

You laid down on your stomach then propped your chin on your hands, facing him. " Is he cute? "

" Seriously, (Y/N)? " He deadpanned. " Also he's already Changbin's anyway so I suggest you stay away unless you want a death wish. "

" Okay, Okay. Chill. I'm just asking, " You rolled your eyes. " I just can't sleep. "

" I already offered you the best bed there is. " Chan looked at your direction and glared.

" It's not that. It's from the fact that I can't fall asleep easily in a stranger's house, that's for sure, " You shifted again in the soft cream cotton bed, letting your body sink. It's like you're laying on a relieving cloud in the heavens.

" We've already passed the stranger level. Let's say we're acquaintances. "

" That doesn't make any such difference especially to my problem but okay. " You pouted.

A long pause surrounded the room, the chills slowly creeping on to your skin. You covered your whole body with the warm comforter, feeling the slumber visiting you little by little. A yawn escaping your lips and eyes getting droopy. Pondering for a second before you let yourself sleep, you took a last glance towards Chan. " Are you cold? " You asked when you saw him without any blankets. He responded with a hum.

" A little bit. But I'll be alright, don't worry, " He yawned, eyes getting heavy as he slowly visited dreamland. " Goodnight, (Y/N). "

However, before you reply, you silently get off the bed when you're sure Chan's too tired to even open his eyes again. Making your way around the room with tippy toes until you found what you needed. You've gone over to his divan couch where he occupies it, placing the blanket you found on top of his and Berry's body, who happen to be sleeping peacefully right next to him. With a weak smile, you finally greeted him back before heading back to the bed and your slumber, " Goodnight Chan, Berry. Sweet dreams. "

Almost afternoon came but none of you decided to rise and shine, except for Berry who's starting to get hungry. It was indeed past her usual breakfast time and she doesn't seem to like the sound of having 'brunch'. So then to get what she needed, she has to be the doggo clock for today.

Berry starts barking the best that she could although it didn't make any much effect, Chan only responded by covering his ears and turning away while you stayed unbothered in your deep sleep. She proceeds to hop back on Chan's couch and licks his face, surely an effective way. He immediately flinched at the wet contact and moved Berry's face away from his, slowly opening his eyes to meet an adorable face smiling at him. " Good morning to you too, " He replied followed with a yawn.

The King Charles Spaniel dog makes her way out of the room after accomplishing step one. While Chan took his time before completely getting out of bed - or rather, couch. With a few stretches and after taking a glance at the time, he made his way out of the room to make breakfast. He glanced towards your sleeping figure. Mumbling a silent, " Thank you. " for what you've done to him in the middle of the night before carefully closing the door behind him.

Before he could even reach the kitchen, a tug from his thumb stopped him in his tracks. Chan forgot that the string of fate only has a length of 7 meters. Sighing, he went back to you and thankfully found you still fast asleep.

Chan sat down on the edge of the bed, your back facing him. Once more, his dark brown eyes gazed upon your sleeping beauty state underneath the sunlight. Once more, he admired this mesmerizing view of you for a good few seconds. He lightly tapped your shoulder, causing you to shift your body to face him while responding with a hum. " Good morning, it's time to rise and shine, " He greeted in his husky morning voice, unknowingly smiling sweetly at you. You replied with a groan, covering your whole body with the comforter. " C'mon, let's go and have breakky. "

" You should've woken me up when breakfast is ready, " You whined, your voice muffled underneath the comforter. Chan chuckled then pulled down the comforter away from your face, " I would've if it wasn't for this string. Now come on. ". You groaned, feeling defeated. Sitting up on the bed, you opened your eyes to meet Chan's face filled with softness and joy. Seeing that first thing in the morning made you smile. It was lovely.

A loud bark from outside of the room interrupted, assuming that Berry's dying of hunger. You instinctively hopped off the bed and hastily made your way to Berry, Chan followed suit. At the kitchen, you both found Berry sitting in front of her food bowl, whimpering. " Oh no, the baby's hungry, " You cooed as you knelt down to pet her. " Chan, you can start making our breakfast, " He followed your instruction, putting on an apron and started preparing you two's breakfast.

" Where's her food, by the way? "

" Are you sure we're gonna find him here? " You questioned, walking a little behind Chan at the same train station yesterday. His strides were big and quite fast which made it difficult for you to keep up at his pace. To the point that your eyes were set on the floor where you have a clear view of you two's feet. You're trying to match his pace but you immediately get worned out and fall behind once more. You guessed it was a CEO thing.

" Well, did you see him in any other places? " You fell silent, continuing to keep up with his pace. The fact that you've been asleep during that time and missed the chance to see who's behind this string of fate hit you. Chan's considered lucky to be awake and witness it.

Chan took a glance behind him to see your reaction, only to find you struggling to match with his settled pace. As soon as he noticed it, he slowed down and matched his pace with yours. Confused, you looked up at him. There were no signs of annoyance or pity on his face, and that made you delighted. What a considerate guy.

It wasn't that long until you both got in the train. The two of you sat down next to each other on a vacant bench and let the train lightly sway you as it starts moving. There was a comfortable silence lingering in the train car as you waited for this child to come into your view. Fortunately, the train's not as crowded as you thought it would be so it would be easier for you to spot the child.

After 3 more stops, you started to get distracted. Your eyes boring onto the view of the opposite window side. Chan kept cautious in his surroundings, still having high hopes of seeing the child's appearance. He didn't realize how much time had already passed and sooner or later, they'll reach the last stop. On the other hand, you slowly began to get drowsy. It's probably because you're sleep deprived for the past few weeks, over-working yourself since that Ms. Kang came into your life. You let your head rest on Chan's shoulder unconsciously which surprised him. With that, Chan first made sure you were comfortable, setting aside the thought of needing to meet the child. He hesitated first, though he did ended up wrapping his arm around you and kept you close to him. Feeling relaxed and secured, you shut your eyes as you slept in his warm embrace.

Chan noticed how much exhausted you are during the time he's been with you. He may not know exactly how tough your previous boss was to you, but it did show a huge impact on you. He thought that you looked so fragile underneath his touch, and he greatly feared the moment you might break. So he made sure to be careful with you. But other than that, he felt the urge - the need or wanting to protect you at that moment. He did questioned why, out of all people, he felt it from and because of you.

Maybe, it's because you looked so exquisite especially under the sunlight. Maybe, it's because he thought you looked adorable and amusing at the same time when you whine or complain. Maybe, it's because you're motherly especially to Berry.

Maybe, he just caught feelings for you. That's why he's questioning " why you? ", it was already love.

Unfortunately for the both of you, you never got to encounter the mysterious child once more. Days have already passed, it has been almost a week. Yet to you and Chan's dismay, no signs of the boy at all. The both of you began to lose hope and just give up. Especially you.

You felt guilty for being the least focused between the two of you, leaving Chan more responsibilities. Find the mystic child and to look out for you. You weren't really in the best shape right now, Chan knew that. You easily got tired, tend to oversleep, and you're hella pale, which you knew well that it isn't so you. " I'm sorry, " You mumbled weakly, your legs crossed and back lean on the couch pillows. Trying to not lay down and sleep more since you did just woke up from a faint.

Hearing this, Chan head over to you then immediately refused. " No, no, no. It's alright, no need to apologize. Just focus on getting better right now, okay? " You replied with a small nod, his warm hands were on yours. That simple touch always made your blood color your cheeks and feel so shy. He went back to the kitchen to continue preparing your dinner as soon as he is satisfied with your answer. In the mean time, Berry made sure to keep you busy and entertained.

While Chan's dicing some pork on a cutting board, he took a glance at the red string wrapped around his thumb. He noticed a small difference to it ever since the first day you both tried to look for the child. It had more of a faint color red, losing its opaqueness. Almost like it's about to vanish which is at some point is a good thing. Though it still has its limitations for length and never broke at your own will. He wondered if you have noticed it as well. What would it be like to be back on your own lives? Chan would be lying if he managed to picture that when he felt disheartened just at the thought of it. He got used to your small complaints, you baby talking and spoiling his dog, needing to be taken care of - when you're unable to do it yourself, even the pocket knife in your bag, that he couldn't imagine you being gone. You did became apart of his life afterall and that left him thinking of making you stay. Chan already figured that he's starting to like you back then on the train, 1st day of hunting down the child.

Which got him pondering. Concluding to a theory that maybe, this string of fate isn't going to vanish. It was only starting to get invisible to your naked eye, just like what you originally thought it would function. But it will always be there no matter what. This string of fate just happens to be more translucent the more you both realize how much you love each other.

Chan tore his gaze away from the string, switching to your pale figure in the living room. Once he knew he could leave the food cooking for a while, he grabbed a glass of water and went back to you. " You like that friend of yours, huh? " You referred to Berry's favorite dog plush. Seeing Chan in your peripheral vision, you locked eyes with him. Beaming him the sweetest smile you could muster which he instantly returned. He offered you the drink and you gladly took it into your hands. Taking a sip, you could feel Chan's eyes burning through your skin. Heat rushes to your face just by that. It's frustrating how you're so easy when he's by your side and only with him. Frequently getting the butterflies, timid, blushy, heart racing, distracted by how ethereal he is, and everything related. And you completely denied your feelings for him.

Chan took a seat beside you, now looking at the pitch black night sky out of his window walls. Those dark brown orbs showed a hint of disappointment. Following his gaze, you figured out the reason. The sky's literally pitch black, starless. As well as the moon being nowhere in sight. The melancholic sight did brought a frown to your face and you couldn't stand it. Looking back at him, you realized that there's no need for you to be crestfallen. In fact, you should be in awe.

It seems like Chan took and held the whole galaxy in his eyes that's why the night sky is empty. His eyes twinkling and shining in the darkness. Many must've envied him for that and it feels so surreal to witness it in by your very own eyes. To have it in front of you. And maybe, just maybe.

You do like Bang Chan.

" Where the hell are you taking me, Chan?! " You quietly panicked as Chan led you to an unfamiliar forest. Just the thought of the crawlies present in places like this made you shudder. " D-Do you really think the child would be brave enough to be here when I am already cowering in fear just looking at this? "

" We're not here for that child, " He chuckled at your state, continuing to walk ahead of you and deeper into the woods. Your wary eyes stayed restless, darting from left to right. " We're here to just relax. " Chan's voice began to echo the farther he is away from you.

You started to get pissed at how he started being inconsiderate and how relaxed he is right now, that's definitely not what you know about him. " What the fuck are you talking about?! So we're just wasting our ti- " The sudden raise of your voice resulted a noise in the forest - sounded like a bird flapping its wings. The sound made you flinch then you picked up your pace to get to him. You tugged onto Chan's jacket which caused him to stop and look back to you. " Chan, please, let's just go home. " You hushly pleaded from behind him, your head hung low in fear and embarrassment.

Sighing, Chan held both of your hands in his. Rubbing circles on it for you to ease up. The both of you still connected by the string of fate, which looks like it's bound to vanish soon. He also noticed how you're short in breath. " Easy, easy. Take deep breaths with me, yeah? " You matched his breathing with yours, eventually loosening up in his warmth like always. You just felt so safe and secure when you're with him. " Let's proceed? I promise you that when we get there, it'll be worth it. " He reassured, never leaving his grip on you.

" Chan.. " You whimpered and Chan instantly hushed you.

" If it makes you feel better, I'll never let go of you, " Oh how you wished that'll last forever. " Sounds good? " You nodded hesitantly.

With that, you let Chan lead you towards his destination. The comfort of his hands wrapped around yours never left on the way just like he promised. It wasn't too long until you saw light at the end of the forest. You could hear faint sounds of waves meeting the seashore and birds singing a melody. The fear you had a while ago slowly washed away as you're nearing the place.

Reaching the light, you witnessed the jaw dropping sight of the beach on the other side of the fence. Like Chan said, it is promising and worth it. He guided you in hopping onto an enormous boulder to get to the other side and you didn't complain, you're too drawn into the beach. In excitement, you went ahead of Chan, letting go of his grasp. Your feet immediately ushering you to the seashore where you could feel the cold water at your toes. As soon as you got here, you felt like you were cleansed. As if the sea took every problem, worries and fears away from you. It was healing and just the thought of it made you smile unknowingly. You never knew you needed this until now, it has been years since the last time you've been this carefree.

On the other hand, Chan's seated at his usual place. Where he could take in the whole view. Now that you were apart of it, everything seemed to set into place for his secret escapade paradise. All felt just right. The way you dance with the waves, moving with the sea, completely letting the rhythm of the water set yourself free. Plus the wind blowing your hair, your face glowing underneath the sun, how blinding your smile was at that moment, he cherished it all. " Perfect with no reasons, " Chan thought out loud as his eyes were trained on you. Unbeknownst to him, it was loud enough for you to hear it clearly.

" Perfect? " You questioned, making your way to his side. His eyes widened, alarmed. Chan looked away without hesitation. The tip of his ears starting to turn red in embarrassment. You sat down next to him, knowing that you'll be bringing some sand in your pockets back home. Noticing his ears, you let out a hearty laugh. " Aww, look at you! "

" I know, I know, " He started, covering his ears. " I'm helpless. "

" Huh? What are you talking about? " You asked while tilting your head to the side in confusion. There was a short pause, only the sound of waves continuously ringing in the area could be heard. As well as the sound of leaves rustling while the wind whispers sweet nothings to it and palm trees swaying from side to side.

" Like- "

" If this is you doubting yourself again, gosh Chan you're not the helpless one between the two of us. " You pointed out with your arms crossed. " You're a CEO of a well known company! Plus, who took care of me? You. Who saved my ass from Ms. Kang? You. Who just comforted me a while ago? You. You are never incapable or weak. If anyone told you otherwise, I- "

" I'm helplessly in love with you is what I meant, (Y/N)! " Chan confessed, now facing you.

Then, the thread in your fingers entirely loosened without any of you knowing.

The two of you locked eyes for a minute. Both surprised by everything, especially you. The wind did whisper something to the two of you, too. Yet it's difficult to figure it out at the moment. Even in broad daylight, his eyes still held the whole galaxy. And you could never let that dim.

" You walked into my life as if you've always lived there, like my heart was a home built just for you, " Chan continued, his hand already searching for yours. Looking down at your now intertwined hands, eyes filled with pure love and adoration. " It fits just like a glo- "

Perfect with no reasons.

Chan was taken by surprise at your sudden answer. You cutted him off, attaching your lips to his. Your free hand finding itself cupping his face. He then passionately responded to the kiss, his arm snaking its way around your waist to keep you close - now that the string of fate is invisible and endless. The kiss resulted you to feel so lightheaded. The softness of his lips brought you to euphoria, everything just felt so right in place. In the end, both of you were left breathless. You couldn't do anything for a few seconds after, keeping your eyes closed with mouth agape of you to try let your mind process what just happened.

You did't need for him to explain or give you anymore reasons why he loves you. The string of fate has always been the answer, reason and explanation to your love. Ever since the beginning, you and Chan are destined to meet regardless of the time, place or circumstances. It may stretch or tangle but nothing could break it and never will. You're one another's someone's someone who you can't live without.

End.

2020: A Year in Thirst

In 1985, Gabriel Garcia Marquez gave the world Love in the Time of Cholera.  In 2020 (er, I guess it’s now 2021), I give to you, Thirst in the Time of Covid-19 or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Embrace the Thirst, a brief recap of all the dramas I watched in 2020 and whether such dramas made yours truly parched..  

The list contains dramas that premiered in 2020, but also dramas from previous years.  If I watched it or attempted to watch it in 2020, it’s on the list.  

EDIT: Ok, I’m going to have to do this in multiple parts because apparently I watched more dramas in 2020 than I remembered and talking about them all in one post would just be too long.

This also serves as a sort of greeting to all the people who recently followed me.  I don’t know how or why, but thank you for being interested in my thirst, and also so sorry for everything you have/will witness here!  I started this side blog last December 2019 as a place to dump all my fangirl feels and thirst with unbridled abandon and let’s just say, the thirst REALLY ramped up in 2020 during quarantine and all the political chaos/uncertainty.  The state of the world may be uncertain, but my thirst will always be a comforting constant!  LOL. If you want to thirst or fangirl/boy together, I’m all ears.

Anyway, let’s start with the drama that was partially the inspiration for this list. 

1. The Wolf

Brief Summary: Sweet hot boy raised in the wilderness/by wolves meets sweet beautiful girl and they fall in love.  Shitty evil people do shitty evil things to them to cause a misunderstanding and they are separated for years.  Sweet hot boy is given the “Sexy Bloody Tormented Killer Makeover” TM and turns into a VERY VERY BAD HOT Wolf Man after being tortured/brainwashed by an evil asshole king who “adopted” him.  Bad Hot Wolf Man reunites with sweet beautiful girl but because of third party machinations in the past, he thinks that she betrayed him so he is suuuuuuch an ass to her (while still maintaining hotness).  But even beneath the asshattery (and sexy jerky smirks), he can’t help his love for her and it’s just *chefs kiss*. The angst, the pining, the mutual sacrifice for each other, the torment of wanting to be together but not being able to be together because of external forces/circustances, oh I am getting in a tizzy just thinking about it.  I won’t reveal anymore so as not to spoil the drama, but just know the ending may destroy you.

Is she thirsty? Am I thirsty? AM I THIRSTY?  Oh honey, if you don’t know the answer to that, then you must either be new here or you haven’t been paying attention to any of my posts in the past few weeks.  Look, from the first moment the camera panned to Darren Wang’s very well-defined and tan chest and windswept hair, all semblance of shame and dignity I ever tried to feign on this tumblr was immediately thrown out the window.  The feelings that he inspired within me were purely primal.  My cavewoman ancestor from millennia ago stopped gathering food in the harsh wilderness for a brief second to transmigrate into my body and go “me want big strong man!”

I mean, below is literally our introduction to Wolf Boy.  Am I supposed to just witness this and not feel anything?  The director knew what he/she was doing.  Anybody who worked on the drama who says they didn’t intend to exploit Darren Wang’s assets is a BOLD FACED LIAR. And this isn’t even Wolf boy in his hottest form.

That would be this:

Damn, your girl needs a moment here.  When Wolf Boy turns into Bad Hot Wolf Man, wheeeeewww.  The things that came out of my mouth and the thoughts that popped up into my head.

Honestly, just check out The Wolf tag on @dangermousie​ tumblr and you won’t be disappointed.  Prepare to become obsessed, horny, and heartbroken.

Would I watch it minus the thirst traps? Have you ever thirsted so much that you couldn’t separate what reaction was hormonal and what was objective?  Like the guy is so hot to you that when your friends ask you what do you like about him, the first 10 things you can think of are “he’s hot!” and then you try to remind yourself that you’re not a shallow person who actually cares about things other than looks but at the same time you can’t for the life of you think of a non-hot based trait that you like about the guy  Yeah, that’s what happened here so sorry, I can’t give you an objective opinion.  It’s not that there’s nothing objectively good about The Wolf, it’s just that my judgment is too clouded by Darren Wang’s abs and big hands.  But from what I can tell by other people’s posts, even if you didn’t thirst for Darren Wang (Are you made of stone?  But also, can you please teach me your magic so I can go back to being a semi-functional working woman?), The Wolf is still a very enjoyable drama with its own non-Darren Wang related merits.

2. My Beautiful Bride

Brief Summary: A drama about a strait-laced banker who wears a dorky backpack and rides a bicycle everywhere while wearing the dorkiest looking helmet ever and his beautiful bride-to-be whom he is hopelessly devoted to.  This being a kdrama, and an OCN drama at that, things aren’t all what they appear to be.  Yes, you read that right, an OCN. ROMANCE. DRAMA.  Turns out the beautiful bride-to-be has a dangerous past that soon comes back to haunt her and she mysteriously disappears one day from strait-laced banker’s life in the typical kdrama way to protect him.  Part of the reason she leaves him is also because she doesn’t want him to know about her past because she doesn’t think she’s good enough for him.  Little does she know, he knows everything about her past and accepts it all.  The only reason why he doesn’t bring it up is because he knows she doesn’t want him to know about that part of herself and he loves her so much he’s willing to do anything to make her happy.  But also, another thing she doesn’t know is that underneath that boring but perfectly ironed suit, is a finely chiseled, super efficient fighting machine who did his mandatory military service in the special forces.  He is like the terminator meets Liam Neeson’s character in Taken.  He has a very particular set of skills and will stop at nothing to get his bride back.

Is she thirsty?  Please just watch this video and you will have your answer: https://youtu.be/Ut9MhxWadHM

Prior to The Wolf, My Beautiful Bride was probably the most thirst-inducing drama I watched in 2020.

I mean, just look

at this

at all of this

I don’t’ know how Joo Young saw that body and never questioned whether he really was just a banker.  The writers of the drama must be super heterosexual men who are blind because so many of the characters in the drama question why someone as beautiful as Joo Young would ever want to be with someone like the banker. Um..Um...aside from the fact that he is financially well off, treats her well, is loving and respectful of her, and prioritizes her over everything else, JUST LOOK AT HIM.  I was so thirsty for Kim Mu Yeol in this role that I would accidentally tag this drama as My Beautiful Banker sometimes.  The banker was on a relentless one-man mission to take back his bride and turn me on in the process and ooooooh boy was he successful on both fronts.  He is seriously sex on legs every time he beats up a baddie in his quest to find answers about Joo Young’s whereabouts.

Would I watch it minus the thirst traps?  I binged the first six episodes of this drama in one afternoon partly because of my thirst, but also partly because it’s a very well made crime-action-gangster drama.  This is an OCN drama so you can expect a competently made production with well choreographed/bloody action scenes and a solid script.

3. Scarlet Heart Ryeo / Moon Lovers

Brief Summary: IU plays Hae Soo, a modern woman who is somehow transported back in time to the Goryeo period.  There, she gets entangled with a group of royal princes.  Her two main love interests are Wang So (played by Lee Jun Ki) and Wang Wook (played by Kang Ha Neul).  The princes vie for the throne and some of them for Hae Soo’s affection.  Lee Jun Ki does what he does best, which is play a sexy tortured deadly man who looks way too good with blood splattered on his face.  Kang Ha Neul is the seemingly kind prince/daddy long legs character who turns out to be not so kind or daddy long leggy.  Hae Soo is...well IU did the best she could with what she was given (which was a hot inconsistent mess).

Is she thirsty? Scarlet Heart Ryeo is like the honeypot of thirst traps.  It’s essentially a reverse harem set up with a prince for everyone.

Like them young and cute?  Then try the 10th prince, Wang Eun.

Want them big, tall, and kinda dumb?  Here’s the 14th prince Wang Jung for ya.

Want an evil bastard with an affinity for guyliner?  Try out 3rd prince Wang Yo.

Tall, slender, and scholarly? 13th prince Baek-ah will fill your needs.

Is a kind/gentle man who will ultimately disappoint you because he doesn’t show up when you need him most more your speed?  Well, let me introduce you to 8th prince, Wang Wook.

Kinda scary but oh so hot and with a ton of baggage?  We’re talking, I overpacked and brought 10 overstuffed large suitcases levels of baggage. 4th prince Wang So is the guy for you.

And if you prefer someone with no personality, presence, or memorable traits, I got a two-for-one deal for you in the crown prince Wang Mu and 9th prince Wang Won.

Would I watch it minus the thirst traps?  There is political intrigue, scheming, romance, fluffy hijinks (my least favorite parts of the drama), angst, beautiful costumes, and pretty decent fight scenes.  Scarlet Heart Ryeo is a pretty solid fusion/fantasy sageuk mostly thanks to Lee Jun Ki.  The only person who has ever carried a larger load on his back is Atlas.  I’m not saying all the other actors are horrendous. It’s just very clear that the one elevating the material beyond the inconsistencies/messiness/elementary politics of the script is Lee Jun Ki.  Your enjoyment level of the drama will likely increase if you are a fan of any of the main actors.

Cookie

ONEWE - Kanghyun

you sighed and sighed as you rolled around your bed.

it was a Saturday and you were bored to death. your parents left earlier for their wedding anniversary trip. so you were alone at home for 3 whole days.

you didn't feel like going out but you were just sooooooo restless not doing anything. you tried reading some books but you were just not feeling it.

you decided to just make some food for yourseld but the whole cooking and eating process onky took like 45 minutes.

you still had a long day to go. you quickly sat up on your bed when you thought of an idea.you reached for your phone to text your childhood friend!Hyungu.

well, Hyungu was one of your close friends because he was actually your neighbour who lives right next to your house . cliche bla bla but it was true.

your rooms were right opposite of each other so you could see each other through your room windows. sometimes you would secretly peek into his room and giggle to yourself.

yes you had a tiny little crush on him. Hyungu was always reading a book or playing his guitar when he was in his room. you really admire Hyungu when he was focused.

To : ☆Kang Hyungu☆

-- heyyyyy , you there? im kind of bored :(( --

you hit send and waited for a few minutes. you frowned and sighed. Hyungu was the only person you could think of right now. but he wasn't replying to your text anytime soon.

you went to the window and tried throwing some balled papers to knock his window. this was normal, the two of you would sometimes knock on each other's window to talk.

yeah phones exist but face to face interactions were just more precious. and also, because your windows were quite far and your voices would always be drowned together with the street noises, you and Hyungu had telephone cups.

yes the thing where you connect 2 cups to communicate .

you could call and text each other like normal people but the two of you were just used to this as you started since you were children.

again, there was no response from Hyungu's side. you sighed and plopped down on your bed, disappointed. *maybe he is not at home*. you thought.

you decided to entertain yourself by rewatching Harry Potter ; Prisoner of Azkaban. that was your favourite movie out of all the movies. because Harry looked extra good there.

anyways, halfway into the movie, you finally got a message notification from Hyungu. you swore you've never sat up from your bed so quickly before.

From : ☆Kang Hyungu☆

-- oh my, sorry for the late reply! i was making something earlier. if you're still bored, you wanna come over ? --

before you could reply his text, Hyungu texted you again. his message warmed up your cheeks as you read it.

From : ☆Kang Hyungu☆

-- no actually, i want you to come over. --

you quickly went to the washroom to wash your face and freshen up a bit. you know it was just a normal hang out but you just wanted to look presentable to Hyungu today.

you wore your favourite red sweatshirt and patted down your hair before leaving your house and heading to Hyungu's .

"y/n! come in!". the door opened, revealing Hyungu who was wearing an apron, all dusted with flour.

you scanned his 'outfit' which earned you a little giggle from Hyungu.

"don't worry,i didn't set my kitchen on fire. Harin helped me bake some cupcakes earlier. he already left because he had other plans.". Hyungu explained with a cute grin.

you nodded in understandment and smiled widely. "soooo, you want me to taste the cupcakes?". you anticipated.

Hyungu chuckled and nodded his head as he told you to wait at the dining table while he took the cupcakes.

salted caramel cupcakes.

"your favourite!". Hyungu chimed as he nudged his head towards the sweet treats , allowing you to taste some.

your eyes widened in excitement as you quickly reached for one.

"mmmmmmmm!". you let out a satisfied sound as salty sweet caramel flowed into your mouth as you bite into the soft cupcake.

Hyungu grinned at your reaction. all those naggings from Harin were worth it. Hyungu was glad you loved the cupcakes he made.

"aren't you eating?". you asked as your cheeks were full with the fluffly dough.

Hyungu chuckled again and ruffled your head. he leaned down to your eye level and poked your cheeks.

"hey don't talk when you're eating. you could choke. i ate some already so you can have them all.".

you blinked at Hyungu's actions and the close distance between the two of you. you felt your face warmed up.

you quickly swallowed the food and looked away. "o--oh tha-thankss..". you stuttered.

after a few minutes, everything went back to normal as the two of you chose a game to play .

"Dead or Alive!". you exclaimed.

Hyungu sighed and nodded. "that's like the ONLY game you always want to play.".

you pouted and flicked his forehead.

"noo i do play the games that you choose too!". you defended yourself.

Hyungu scrunched up his nose and turned on the said game. "okay okay, i understand that you sometimes have to let out the violence in you,". Hyungu teased.

you rolled your eyes and hit his arm. "i can just let it out on you!". you replied as you stuck your tongue out at Hyungu.

Hyungu chuckled and ruffled your hair again as he sat next to you and started the game.

you and Hyungu played for hours and only stopped when your stomachs growled.

"you have anything ?". you asked Hyungu.

Hyungu tapped his chin as he thought of the stuffs he had at home.

"i guess we have some pasta. you wanna fix some for dinner?". Hyungu asked.

you nodded and went to the kitchen as Hyungu cleaned up the game station.

Hyungu was right, they had some pasta. there was also some seafood . since both your stomachs were growling like mad, you decided to just go with something simple and made some aglio olio. simple but delicious and filling.

Hyungu was currently living alone in his house. his parents had some business overseas so they had to stay out of country for a few months. hence the two of them didn't have to worry about finishing up all the food.

"ahhhh that was great! thanks for the food,". Hyungu thanked as he volunteered to wash the dishes since you cooked.

it was getting late, you thanked Hyungu for the day and was about to excuse yourself when he stopped you.

"wait wait, i made a cookie for you . eat them right when you reach home okay?". Hyungu said as he passed you a medium sized fortune cookie that he packed in a paper bag .

you were confused but nodded as you got ready to go home. the usual 5-second trip took 3 as you were excited to eat the cookie Hyungu made you.

you were curious why he told you to eat it right you reached home. you knew fortune cookie always had a note inside.

and something in you hoped it was something good. something that would make you smile widely.

you went into your bedroom and unpacked the bag before taking out the cookie.

~ dear y/n.

you might find this lame and all, but i really like you since middle school. i am not sure of what more to say but, will you be my girlfriend?

☆Hyungu☆ ~

the printed words on the paper read.

blink

nani

blink

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH". you squealed into your pillow.

you really didnt believe your eyes. your crush has a crush on you? this is like too good to be true.

you want to believe it was just a prank but knowing Hyungu, who rarely expresses his emotions, he wouldn't play about these things.

of course you hesitated for a bit. Hyungu was a good guy but do you really deserve him? probably not but it doesn't hurt to try, right?

you quickly went to your window and threw your balled paper to attract his attention.

a few seconds later, a shy Hyungu appeared at his window as he opened it. you threw over a cup for him to listen to the things you wanted to say.

"yes. over.". you said.

Hyungu blinked and quickly held the cup to his mouth.

"yo-you mean , yes ? you want to be my girlfriend? over.". he stuttered.

you chuckled and replied though the cup.

"yes Hyungu. i like you too and i would love to be your girlfriend. over.".

Hyungu smiled widely and could not help but chuckle happily.

"then can i come over ? it feels cold here after you left. over.". your boyfriend!Hyungu asked cutely.

you scrunched up your nose and chuckled.

"grr you clingy boy. it's night time already! come over tomorrow okay? i am kind of tired and i want to go sleep. over.". you answered.

you could see Hyungu's deep pout as he got his answer.

"alright then... goodnight! over.". Hyungu bid.

you smiled and nodded as you waved at him. he threw back the cup to you . you caught the cup and quickly gave him a flying kiss before closing your window and running back to your bed.

Hyungu chuckled at your actions and held his chest.

"damn, the things you do to my heart...". Hyungu mumbled as he too got ready for bed.

Hyungu have had feelings for you since middle school. he realised this when boys started asking you out. well, you were a pretty girl after all.

but he didn't like you just because you were pretty, he loved your personality. although the two of you often argue with each other, it just made you two closer than ever.

Hyungu realised he had to make his move when you started dating some boys during highschool. he knew you didn't really like those boys but you dated them just so you don't hurt their feelings.

now that you're both in college, Hyungu was really determined to make you his.

he decided to ask help from Harin to teach him how to bake. you really love sweet stuffs and he really wanted to make you something you love.

although Harin nagged and scolded him a lot, Hyungu thought it was all worth it. because at the end of the day, he made you smile. and of course, you became his girlfriend.

it was really the best day of his life.

.

.

a/n : in case you can't imagine how the whole scene took place, here's a reference ! yeap , i was inspired by this anime called 'Tamako Market' .

hope you guys love it! stan ONEWE ! stan ONEUS! stan WEUS!

Batwoman Review 1x1 

Ruby Rose stars as Kate Kane who after years abroad returns to Gotham where Batman hasn’t been seen for years. The citizens of Gotham have placed their trust in a private security group called The Crows run by her Kate’s father Jacob Kane (Dougary Scott). During a public even where the mayor and other officials plan to shut off the Bat signal for good a mysterious woman calling herself Alice disrupts the event and kidnaps a Crow agent Sophie Moore (Megan Tandy). Sophie also happens to be Kate’s ex from the military academy, where she was kicked out for being a lesbian. Sophie also caught with Kate chose to renounce her lesbianism and stay with the academy leading to their breakup. In hopes of finding Sophie, Kate dawns her cousin Bruce Wayne’s Batman suit to find and rescue her. 

As far as CW/DC shows goes this is the worst pilot by far I have ever seen by their own show standards. Everything feels so cheap, from the poorly filmed flashback to the lack of attention to detail, like the opening scene starts off with Kate breaking the ice covering a lake from which she was trapped under, yet you can not see her breath from the cold, it’s like they didn’t care and the entire scene feels empty like it was all done in green screen. She was trapped under the ice as part of her intense “training” by an unnamed Native American/Inuit man who barely says 10 words to her before never being mentioned again. 

Which is used to explain how she can beat up an entire group of thugs without breaking a sweat. And what is truly sad about the fight scenes is that they have no weight, it’s almost cartoony without the humor. She is smashed in the face with a wooden paddle, tossed into cement blocks, hit up against walls and all the injuries we ever see her sustained is a cut on the arm.

Not even a bruise...even Oliver Queen from Arrow gets bruised like, it happens on other CW/DC shows, Batwoman isn’t invincible she’s human and she should get hurt. It’s not that I want to see her bruised or fail, it’s just that she was knocked out twice, but the show still tries to play it up like she a Batman level badass, which I don’t buy. 

But even if all the action and the details weren’t there I could see the show getting better if there was any characterization. Who is Kate? Why is she continuing to be Batwoman, it’s honestly feels like she was bored, there seems to be motivation behind why she is going to this extreme. Every other CW pilot gets that right, Arrow: “I want to take back the corruption that has taken over my city”, Flash:” I want to stop metahumans who might harm others”, Black Lighting: “It’s time for Black Lighting to come back stop the rampant crime in Freeland caused by the biggest gang The 100”, Legends of Tomorrow: “We have no real impact on the timeline so were the only ones who can stop those who try to interfere in the timeline”. What is her tagline? “I found my cousin’s Batsuit so I used it and his tech to save my kidnapped ex girlfriend and I continued being Batwoman because I have nothing else going on”. This is from the IMDB page

And I have no idea which show that synopsis is supposed to be more, she never says or does anything that could be considered social justice-y, and what inner demons does she have, her mother and sister being killed in an accident isn’t a demon it’s trauma. I don’t understand her motivation.

Other characters like Luke Fox are roped into helping Kate for absolutely no reason at all. They could have at least given him a line as to why he’s just helping her and allowing her to remain in the “batcave” writing her memoirs and taking up the mantle. The way Kate just takes, I mean ‘borrow’ all of Bruce’s supplies, makes her look incompetent.

There is also another problem this show has is it’s surrounding cast of characters, Gotham is filled with supporting characters of Batman who I assumed with be all ignored, so is it really even Gotham. We don’t know why Batman has been gone for three years, we don’t know why the entire Wayne company has also shut down apparently no one cares that Bruce Wayne has also gone missing. Not even his own extended family. Bruce is either dead, coma, severe amnesia, brainwashed, or in a permanent vegetative state there are no other options.

The majority of the actors on this show are typical CW fine acting, Dougary Scott who plays Kate’s father is a standout. Sadly the three main female leads, Ruby Rose(Kate Kane), Rachel Skarsten(Alice) and Megan Tandy(Sophie Moore) are all terrible. Rose’s idea of acting is furrowing her brow and there is a hollowness in more emotional scenes. Her voice over is so bad I really hope that the next director gives her more pointers to make is sound less like a robot. Rachel Skarsten is trying but doesn’t have the skill or charm to pull off this “crazy’ sing-song type of villain. Tandy is expressionless and detached she has the same expression in every scene. And her kissing scene with Ruby looks painful, I don’t know if she’s a bad actress or if she was uncomfortable. 

If there was anything good in the show it was the single scene where Kate’s step sister Mary Hamilton (Nicole Kang) is treating her wound at the clinic, she’s actually charming and Rose’s stilted acting is less noticeable. I also liked that movie the park was Zorro and there where two children running around his Zorro mask, it was cute. 

The saddest thing about this is that it feels like no one cared, there is no interesting take, direction, moment, or anything to feel like it had a passion behind it. Most people will only give the first episode a chance and will completely dismiss the character and show. This is the one shot they had to wow people and it didn’t do anything with it. Not good, there’s only potential in it if they make some drastic changes.

best friends (with benefits) to lovers! daniel

member: kang daniel

summary: the title says it all so....

genre: idk lol angst + fluff?

a/n: requested by an anon and this was really long compare to my other scenarios.....because i really had no idea how to plot this properly and how to end it.............idk if it’s even nice lol anyway hope you guys enjoy reading it??? tell me how it is if you guys want!! (thank you for requesting anon, i’m SO SORRY IF IT’S REALLY THAT BAD) p/s it’s not that rated i think.......i’m actually just an innocent child.......jk and also i’m sorry if there’s any grammatical errors or like ugly sentences that doesn’t make sense because i haven’t reread this... 

daniel has been your best friend since you were in high school and it was like a mutual interest on daily escapes from school tbh

like you often bump into daniel outside school during school hours and at first you didn’t want to talk to him at all 

because daniel is famous for always escaping classes yet he always being liked by the teachers and students

while you, on the other hand, always get detentions and etc etc

it wasn’t like you hated how daniel always get away from these troubles

it was just you beginning to see him often during your escapes and he was always there looking at you and smiling

and at one point, daniel went to talk to you and you were just like

“i don’t want to talk to you”

“then don’t. i just want you to listen”

and your brows rose in confusion and you saw daniel’s lips form a smirk

“wanna go to the amusement park?”

and after that day, you and daniel always escaped classes together

and the news spread fast and everyone saw you both as a powerful duo

and tbh it was still funny for the both of you

because you just wanted to skip school because it was boring, and daniel had that mindset too

and then you both got to know each other and slowly, you both just knew everything about each other

like his love for cats, his passion for dancing and him making everything seem so calm, so positive

while he knows you love to get away from reality, how you always dream big and just want to move away from everything

and somehow you both just fill in every flaws you both have

and you realized how much daniel really know about you and honestly it was a naturally best friends label between you both

you both would text with each other about everything and anything that could possibly be dumb or funny

until one day, during one of your stressful days

you received a call from daniel and it was almost 12am

and you expected for him to say some ranting from his part time job

but you hear his breathing only and somehow that made you nervous

“what’s up, daniel?”

“can you open your door?”

and your eyes quickly shifted on your door before you hear a knock

“okay”

so you opened the door, revealing daniel with his messy hair and his shirt unbuttoned on the top which was a distraction to you

“hi”

“h-hi” 

so you tried to avoid looking at daniel and he realized, he realized that there was something between you both

“how are you?”

“pretty stressful”

daniel softly laughs, his eyes were finding yours as his hand brought your chin to look up at him

“do you want me to help you relax?”

and you saw him, his eyes turned dark as his hand travel down to your neck 

you looked at him longer, and it was killing you both

because you knew you both had sexual attractions towards each other but kept it a secret

and daniel appearing right before you looking like a sexy mess, had meant he no longer want it as a secret

and you smiled, your hand pull his shirt closer to you and you felt daniel’s lips kissing you roughly but passionately

and you brought him into your room where everything started

a relationship of best friends with benefits

daniel and you don’t usually do it often, just when you both need to let go of everything

and most of the times it’s when you both are stressed out or just frustrated by one another

and somehow it went along for a few months after that and you both just got used to it

then one day your friends invited you both to hang out at their apartment and it’s the normal thing to go to and you and daniel are casually going there together

and you both see the friends of yours and you spotted this new person

and you’re about to ask who are they

but daniel just passes by you really quickly and give the person a hug

“long time no see!”

you see daniel smiling really widely and you feel....weird... like your heart feels empty suddenly

and it’s odd because daniel is usually like that to other people but this particular person...it feels a little different

and you just force a smile when daniel introduces you to them

“this is y/n, my best friend” 

and you look at daniel and he looks back at you, smiling before turning his focus back to the person

“so where have you been? how are you?”

suddenly you feel like you’re being left out? like it’s fine and all but you suddenly crave for daniel’s attention

but daniel is still talking to the person, and they got too close for your comfort

and you start to think how silly you are because daniel could do anything he wants to do because you’re just his best friend

best friend....

daniel gets extra excited over whatever the person is talking with him and you got annoyed tbh and then you feel someone tapping your shoulder

“are you okay?”

you see jisung smiling worriedly to you and you nod your head to reassure

“you don’t seem okay to me....”

jisung looks at you and looks at daniel 

“why aren’t you guys talking with each other?”

“daniel seem to know that person from somewhere,,, i guess they want to catch up?”

jisung squinted his eyes to see the person that daniel is talking to and his eyes widen, and you’re like ‘what’s the matter’

“that’s daniel’s ex”

and somehow you feel like everything just crumbles down because daniel never mentioned about this ex to you before and it hurts you? because you are daniel’s best friend.... you have the rights to know....... right?

“...when did they got together?”

“like, before you guys knew each other? i’m not sure exactly when but maybe before high school?”

“that’s long time ago....”

“yeah, you don’t have to worry about it”

jisung looks at you, and you’re just like ‘um okay?’ and he’s like smiling while looking back at daniel and the person

“just.. you know, don’t get too obvious if you want to keep it a secret”

jisung winks at you and you’re so confused.....but later caught on what he was thinking about

“whatever you’re thinking, it’s wrong”

jisung nods his head, but ignoring your statement and he stands up to leave

“an advice would be telling him the truth.... before he makes a move...again”

“what do you the truth--okay no, i don’t like--”

jisung just leaves you alone quickly and you’re huffing in anger

basically like an upset child

“hey y/n, come here”

daniel calls you and his smile is still plaster on his face and honestly it’s getting on your nerve and you just shook your head to him

he blinks, and tilted his head in confusion

“what’s the matter?”

“nothing” you tell him and leaves the area to where jisung is

daniel looks at the person apologetically before headed towards you

“hey hey, what’s wrong”

“i said nothing, daniel, gosh”

daniel stares at you and then looks at jisung who is witnessing the scene

jisung shrugs, but his smile creeps on his face which make daniel more confused as ever

“then why are you being aggressive so suddenly?”

“i am not”

“yes, you are. you never get this angry before. did i do something wrong?”

“no-- actually yes, yes you did”

you glare at daniel and he’s taken back and it’s worrying him alot because you never glare at him seriously until now

“that’s your ex, right?”

“......well, yeah. wait, how do you know?”

“jisung told me. but why didn’t you tell me about them?”

daniel looks at you in disbelief and you waited for him to answer but he stays silent and you had enough of it

tbh why did you even get so fed up with it?

..... because you like him

like a lot

and it’s so dumb for you to fell for him..... but he’s always there with you doing dumb stuff together and whenever he makes you feel good, you always wonder if daniel even feels the same way as you....

but you knew daniel doesn’t feel the same thing as you.... whenever you both are done with late night activities, you always wanted him to stay for awhile and cuddle up... but daniel just leaves the place and it wasn’t a bother to you until you realized you like him... a little too much

okay so jisung is right about you liking daniel

and jisung looking at you now is making things alot worser

“nevermind, daniel. just go have fun with them”

“it’s not something to nevermind about. let’s just talk in private”

daniel takes your hand and bring you outside of the apartment

“talk to me”

“no, i don’t want to talk to you”

“since when do you not want to talk to me?”

“since now! daniel, just give me some space”

you push him away but he holds onto your wrist to stop you and you’re getting frustrated over his action

“it’s about my ex, right? because i didn’t tell you about them? is that what it is?”

“yes, daniel. that’s all”

“are you sure? because i feel like there’s more”

“there’s no more, daniel”

you try to pull your arm from his but he grips it tighter and you look at him angrily 

but daniel just looks at you back but now he’s smiling

“what”

“are you jealous”

“jealous? what the hell, i’m not jealous--”

“really? i want you to be jealous though”

“why would you want me to be jealous of you and that person? i have no time to do that”

“because it’s cute. someone i like is actually jealous of me with another person”

and you just stands there, frozen, staring back at daniel. your eyes just softens like basically you’re starting to panic because did daniel just said ‘someone i like’..........which is you??

daniel smiles wider and his eyesmile plays on his face and your heart flutters over it and half of yourself is so mad at yourself because you’re supposed to be angry at him, NOT getting butterflies in your stomach right now

then you feel something on your cheek and you shake yourself off from your thoughts, only to naturally touch your cheek because did kang daniel just kiss your cheek

“what are you doing”

“i was waking you up. a kiss. from the prince”

“are you drunk or something? i didn’t need that kiss”

“uh yes you do. you’ve been standing there like a statue for a long time”

“that’s because i’m surprised that you...like... me.... but hey, that doesn’t mean i like you back, okay”

“what do you mean you don’t like me back? your jealousy only meant one thing”

daniel wiggles his eyebrows playfully while swinging your arm and you’re just like ‘what..the..’

“how many times do i need to tell you that i’m not jealous about it”

“a lot of times. because i won’t believe you”

“that’s it. i’m leaving. besides you’re playing with me”

“playing with what? if you think i’m lying about me liking you, then you’re wrong”

“how am i sure that you really like me, daniel? isn’t it just the friends with benefits that you like me about?”

daniel’s smile fades from his face and honestly that scares you 

he lets go off your hand and sigh, his eyes never leave yours and you got really nervous

“i don’t know how to convince you that i really like you. but i really do like you, y/n.... possibly love you..... alot. and no, it’s not the friends with benefits thing that i like about you. sure, we did a lot of mess with each other but i...actually like you before we even did it for the first time. and it was dumb of me not to confess early... but at the same time, i really thought you had no feelings for me beside as a best friend to you. honestly i really want to do more stuff with you like as a couple... but then i saw you just now, with jisung. and i thought i’m too late...because jisung was smiling a lot more when he was with you just now and i just wanted to give up--”

“wait, so you were jealous? because of jisung?”

“okay no, i wasn’t jealous--”

“so you are jealous”

“that’s not the point, y’n”

you start to smile at him and he’s frowning at your replies to him and your fingers place on each corner of his lips and bring his lips to make a smile

“i love you too, dummy”

daniel looks at you and he feels relief because all this time he’s planning what to say to you if you don’t love him back

but thank god you love him like how he is to you and he’s so ecstatic and hugs you tightly

and it’s a different kind of hug, like a bear hug but a daniel-kind of bear hug and you love it so much

daniel releases you and his lips form a smirk and you suddenly get worried yet excited over it because daniel just goes

“do you want to ditch this place and go home, you know, so that i can show you how much i love you?”

Future

Best friends to Lovers!Kang Daniel AU

Note: for the times where you experienced 썸 (some) with your good/best friend and wished that when you do convey your feelings it would somewhat end up this way

“_______, are you done? we’re going to be late,” Daniel stood by the door, watching you putting on makeup

“hold on, i’m almost done! okay which one?” you held 2 lipsticks

“you know i like the red one on you” you smirked at his comment and proceeded to put on the wine red lipstick

“i don’t get why you’re putting on so much makeup. who are you trying to impress?” he gazed at you

“um my future partner? what if i meet him by chance at the wedding?”

“and you’re going to leave your best friend behind?” he pouted

“well…”

“omg you’re really considering it?! i’m leaving” you quickly held his arm, preventing him from leaving

“i’m kidding! c’mon Niel, how can i leave my dearest best friend?” you teased him, pinching his cheeks i wna do that tbh

this would be a good example of your everyday conversation with your best friend, Kang Daniel

you and Daniel have been friends since elementary school

how you first became friends was definitely interesting (?)

your class had to run rounds around school for gym

it was only your second round and you already felt tired so you decided to escape from running

as you were finding a hiding spot, you saw Daniel crouching down and playing with a cat

he got shocked when he saw you behind him

“don’t rat me out please!” he begged you

you then learnt that he too was trying to escape from running rounds that day

that was how you became close friends

both of you grew up together and been there for each other through every milestone, relationship, break up, etc. in life

basically you spent most of your time together, except for when he left for Canada (?) for a few years

it was truly the hardest time in your whole friendship and when he came back, both of you promised to never leave one another

your friend from high school, Doyeon, had invited you to her wedding so you decided to attend it with Daniel since both of you had no one to bring as your plus ones

daniel in a SUIT swoon

you finally arrived at the wedding venue, just in time for the couple to exchange their vows

“I see these vows not as promises but as privileges - I get to laugh with you, cry with you, care for you and share with you. I am blessed to not only be able to share, but to have you be a part of these great memories I am able to cherish forever…”

tears started forming in the corner of your eyes

you took a deep breath in attempt to hold it in but Daniel beat you to it by handing a tissue to you smooth move danik

you managed to mumble out a thanks in between of your sobs

he hushed you then let your head rest on his BUSAN TO MASAN shoulders

you wouldn’t know what you would’ve done without Daniel around

you quickly went ahead to the married couple to congratulate them right after the exchange of vows

“Daniel didn’t pop the question yet?” Doyeon sneakily whispered to you, while Daniel was conversing with her partner

“what? no, we’re not together,” you felt yourself blushed

“oh… i thought after high school, you guys would finally come around and share a future together. it would’ve been so nice to see that,” she said, holding onto your hand

once the ceremony was over, it was finally time for the banquet your favourite

of course Daniel went all out

you came to the table with a plate full of food but he came back with 2 plates and still went back for 2nd round

till this day, you wonder how is he able to consume so much food and still look so good drop em tips boi

“get me some too!” Daniel told you when you stood up to get dessert

you stood in line, with a plate in hand, waiting for your turn when someone approached you

“________? is that you?”

“Sungwoon? omg hey it’s been so long!” he gave you a side hug

you met Sungwoon during your internship, you both were rather close

however, whenever you brought up Sungwoon in your conversations with Daniel, he will immediately tune out

both of you would fight every time he does that, you knew he did so because he was jealous but you never understood why and he would never tell you the reason

Daniel saw Sungwoon’s hand resting on your waist a little too comfortably and he immediately tensed up

he didn’t want to make a scene so he calmed himself down before making his way to the dessert table to get you or more like to make Sungwoon take his hands off you

“babe do you need a hand with those?” Daniel slowly turned your attention to him, which caused Sungwoon to move back, away from you

“babe? wait what?” you were surprised by his choice of words

“ah i see… i’ll talk to you later _______,” Sungwoon walked away, clearly flustered by the situation

“Sungwoon wait- omg Niel are you serious? we were just talking! i can’t believe you!” you pushed him

“he was getting too close! what if he did something to you?” he quickly followed behind, catching up with you

“so what if he is? Daniel, you need to stop being so overprotective of me. I can take care of myself! You can’t just do that all the time. Sungwoon’s a really nice guy and now he’s probably scared to talk to me again coz of you. Forget it, I’m going home,” you stomped away from him

“wait, i’ll take you home. it’s getting late,” he ordered, which you quietly obliged to

the ride home was abnormally quiet

usually both of you would sing along to the songs on your playlist, making jokes and laughing

this time, the radio filled the silence, even so it felt uncomfortable

his grip on the wheel tightened even more, putting all of his focus on the road

you just looked out of the window, deep in thought about what happened earlier

he clearly was being jealous and you hated every time it happens

you aren’t going to stop hanging out with Sungwoon or anyone just so that he will stop being jealous, that would be unfair to you

but you just wish that he would stop it

you finally reached the carpark of your apartment building

you unbuckled your belt and reached for the door handle but Daniel stopped you immediately

“can we talk? i don’t want you to go home all angry”

“…”

“look i just want to apologise. i can’t help but feel jealous and i am sorry that i had to put you in that position,”

you still didn’t want to budge, you crossed your arms and avoided eye contact

he suddenly wrapped his arms around you, hugging you close

“i’m sorry! i didn’t know any better, kid,” he bopped your nose

you felt your heart beating quickly and the heat on your cheeks

you immediately tried to push him away but Daniel hugged you even closer in return

SOMEBODY STOP THIS MAN you are supposed to be angry at him!!!

“hey c’mon please? i’m really sorry about that. let’s turn that frown upside down,” he cupped your face and gave you your favourite eye smile, the one he knew you couldn’t resist i’d faint irl tbh

you can’t help it but to just gave in and forgive him

“just because i forgive you, doesn’t mean i’m not serious about it”

“i know, i’m sorry. i can’t help it,”

“but why? if it’s about them stealing me away from you then-”

“wHAT? NO! i mean yES. i mean- ah i can’t tell you now,”

“WHY! you always can’t tell me why and i want to know why right now”

“i just can’t, no not now please. i’ll tell you next time,”

“no i want to know it right now! can’t you just-”

“I’M IN LOVE WITH YOU OKAY”

silence filled the car once again

you were shocked coz you didn’t expect to hear those words

you had always thought you wouldn’t share mutual feelings coz he had never looked at you that way

and the girls he dated were in no way similar to you, all the more it made you think that you didn’t stand a chance

hearing those words from him made you flustered

“this wasn’t supposed to turn out this way. i wanted to bring you out and tell you how i felt. i even got tips from Doyeon’s partner on it!”

listening to what he had to say made you hide your face in embarrassment

you were so touched, you ended up sobbing into your palms

“wait, no no don’t cry, please. i don’t want you to cry because of me, that’s the last thing i ever wanted,” he held onto your hands

“is that why you couldn’t tell me every time i asked you?” he nodded quietly

“i’m touched by you. i never knew you felt the same way. thank you, for telling me,” you kissed his cheek

Daniel held onto your cheek then pecked your lips

“i’m still going to bring you out and confess to you like how i planned” he grinned to you

Wanna-One Bae JinYoung - Together

✽ featuring: bae jinyoung

✽ genre: fluff

✽ word count: 1693 words

✽ summary: your strong and masculine front that you put on everyday with your group of friends has suddenly dissolved into nothing from the touch of his hand.

the incident happened during our third year of high school

having moved to new classes, you were separated from your usual group that you hung out with ever since freshman year

i guess you could say they weren’t the greatest of influences

you usually hung out with a group of 6, consisting of 2 girls and 4 boys

you and kang daniel were the alphas of the group, leading the group into causing a commotion around school

this consisting of bullying people from the top academic classes

one time, you 6 were up to it again

bullying some poor boy, pushing him around after school, making him drop his materials and stationary

jinyoung, your class prefect, was doing patrols around the school after school that day

hearing something odd just attracted him to the sound

after seeing your inhumane act, he quickly barged in to diffuse the situation

“hey! you six again, lay off him. mrs kim is just in the next room you know,”

the act of him exercising authority made the group of you scoff

one by one, the group of 6 left the scene

however, when it was your turn to walk past jinyoung, he snickered

“its the 4th time for you, y/n, before you get suspended”

“yeah yeah whatever,”

with a simple wave of a hand, you signalled for him to leave your sight

he ran towards the victim to help him up

joining back the 6, you heard them talking about jinyoung

“tch, he’s such a good-two-shoes,”

“no shit sherlock, he’s a prefect”

“i hate those people”

this made the group of you laugh

after that incident, you noticed jinyoung started to pay attention to you more

he probably just wants to find fault in your actions in school just to get you suspended

his slight smirk on his face as you pull out a packet of sweets during class just says everything

did i mention he sits beside you during class? i guess that makes it worse doesn’t it aha

you tried to avoid all forms of contact with him after that

but that failed after your teacher paired you two up to conduct a chemistry experiment in the lab

for some reason, you felt a bit tense

its probably because of chemistry right? it was your first experiment that year, maybe its that

once the experiment was signalled to commence, you two faced each other

“i’ll get the retort stands, burettes and pipettes okay? you can set up the acids”

ok, jinyoung wants you to set up the solutions. not that difficult right?

as you read the instructions, you just could not determine the type of acids used

as you tried to analyse the instructions page as if it was morse code, jinyoung was just staring at you

“tch, its hydrochloric acid, you slowpoke”

he reaches over you to grab the bottle of hydrochloric acid, allowing you to take a whiff of his cologne off his sleeve

{what the hell am i doing?}

the rest of the experiment had to be guided by jinyoung as you were not especially bright in chemistry

for some reason you just could not figure out what was on your mind

why am i feeling this way?

questions of wonder clouded your mind, preventing you from writing the formula correctly and performing the experiment effectively

“you okay? you look like you have just seen a ghost,”

jinyoung said, as he peered from behind his retort stand

you didn’t reply him, only to look around frantically and nod slightly

he noticed something was wrong, and slowly approached you

placing his warm palm on your forehead, he tried to check if you were having a fever as you were oddly different today

“your face is pale today, you sure you don’t want to take a rest at the sick bay or something? you can get an excuse letter from the teacher,”

during this point of time, your faces were unnaturally close to one another

your heart pounds your ribcage, trying to force its way out

{what is going on with me???}

your face burns

(oh no, am i blushing???????????)

“i-i’m fine!” you said as you pushed his hand off your forehead

you looked at the ground in shame

your strong and masculine front that you put on everyday with your group of friends has suddenly dissolved into nothing from the touch of his hand

you felt so inferior, you had no idea what this feeling was

“okay then, if you need to stop and take a rest, tell me okay?”

you nodded and looked away

trying to begin the experiment, you stood up

but unfortunately, your legs were as weak as jelly

your hands were shaking as well

so trying to pour the acid was a hard task

and apparently your hands thought it was a hard task too

and you spilled some hydrochloric acid on your hand

“oh my god, shit!”

you ran towards the sink, placing it under running water

it burns your wrist

jinyoung notices, and runs over as well

“what happend?”

he glanced over at your lab table, only to see some spilled hydrochloric acid on the table and a open jar of acid accompanying it

he glances back at your hand, sighs and takes it into his hands

still under running water, he proceeds to rub the burning spot

your stomach churns

his hand is so warm and soft??? is this even a boy???

your heart skips a beat

actually multiple beats

you could have died on the spot right there

carrying your hand to the side-benches, he reached for a towel and slowly dabs the spot

“does it still hurt?”

you shake your head

“you should really sit out on todays experiment, you’re not like your usual self today,”

“i’m fine,”

you glanced away again, only to feel your cheeks turning bright pink

“are you sure you’re okay? i can help-”

he reaches for your hands and this shocks you

you turned to face him, letting him see the bright pink that has burned through your cheeks

seeing that, he let go of your hands and rubbed the back of his neck as he turned pink as well

“a-ah, sorry, let’s carry on with the experiment,”

he walked swiftly past you, and carried on with the experiment

after that, he started communicating with you more

and you didn’t seem to avoid him anymore

he would say hi to you in the halls

and you would say hi back

which kindoff confused your lil rebel squad

you tried to amend your rebel ways, so you stopped hanging out with the squad

you started spending your lunch breaks with jinyoung in the library as you found out his group of friends were in another class with a different lunch break timing

so you decided to accompany him

he would be studying, and you would be beside him, probably sleeping

while you sleep sometimes he would just glance at you, seeing how cute you are

but immediately feels bad as he thinks he’s taking advantage of you and he looks away in shame, all red-faced

as he always comes to school early to complete homework, you would surprise him from the back

after school he would have student council meetings and you would wait for him to walk home together

this one time you guys were walking together and he told you you needed to extend your skirt (you shortened it as you thought it would be cool in le rebel squad)

you immediately turned red as you thought it was some kind of way to make a move on you

but he realised what he said and took it back

“i-i mean its part of my duty as a prefect! it’s like, violating the dress code..”

this created a lil playful relationship between you two

and obviously he likes you a lot

so he would try to find ways to confess to you

once you two were walking home together through a park

your hands were only inches apart, which sparked the idea in him to hold hands with you

but when he tried to move in, you literally used that hand to point to some bird in the trees

this kindoff made him retract his hand and make him think about what he almost did

but one final time he decided to do it was during lunch break, in the library

while you were busy sleeping, he slipped a note into your skirt pocket

your hair also draped onto your face, so he would use his fingers to shift it behind your ear (wow what a kdrama action)

and you would wake up from it, so he acts like nothing happened

once you got to your last class of the day, you were rummaging through your pocket and found the note

you read it and it basically had his entire confession written on paper

you were super happy!!

you almost screamed and interrupted the teacher

when jinyoung left the class to help the teacher to carry books, you slid a note back under his biology textbook

when he came back, as usual you were waiting for him to finish packing and fell asleep (girl you need some slEEP)

no one else was in class

he noticed and read your note, which made him super bubbly

he slowly approached you

seeing you peacefully sleeping always made him warm inside

sitting on the chair in front of you he pulled over to you

he laid a small kiss on your forehead, waking you up

once you woke up, you rubbed your eyes, only to see jinyoung looking at you with a loving face

he took both your hands and brought it to his face

“want to go to the dessert shop today?”

you smiled and nodded

yAy yALL are cUtE

dates with him are super adorable

you would go to sweet shops, the amusement park, and lil cafés

he loves to tease you and make you all flustered because thats cute af!!

he loves to spoil you with desserts and win you toys in like claw-machine games

ahh boyfriend goals
