☼ BEAUTY QUEEN — enhypen x f!member!reader

youtube compilation (name) my beauty queen, 1.3 million views

note, the 2 girls during clip 2 are ocs dont mind them

clip 1

— “noona,” jungwon called you over to him and niki. he had just confessed to once getting valentines day chocolate from one of his friends. 

“hmm?” you pushed your hair over your shoulder, making sure it didn’t get stuck in your clothes.

“noona, have you ever gotten white day chocolate?” niki asked, looking up at you.

the camera panned to you, “yeah,”

they both ooh’ed, teasing you as you smiled awkwardly, “how many times?”

embarrassed, you laughed and turned away from them. they protested loudly, catching the attention of your bandmate and old classmate, jay. 

“what? what?” 

“hyung! you and noona were classmates right?”

“yeah,”

“have you ever seen her getting white day chocolate?”

jay nodded, “yeah. she once had a whole bag filled,”

you protested, not wanting him to make the information public, “jay! shut up!”

“eh?!” niki’s mouth fell open and jungwon looked at you in shock, “seriously?!”

jay nodded, laughing at your flustered expression, “didn’t you have two full bags in our third year?”

“JAY!”

clip 2

— jay entered first, then sunghoon, then you. you were half hidden behind sunghoon until you stepped out onto the white platform where the boys made space for you between them and you properly came into view of the other contestants. 

“wha,,”

you were too far away and too nervous to hear the sounds of awe coming from the others. two of the girls that were already seated, leaned closer to each other, “is that fair? her face?” they giggled, eyes zoomed on you. “don’t let me stand beside her,, seriously. i’ll look like a trashcan,”

you chuckled nervously, “they’re all staring,”

jay leaned closer to you, “aren’t you used to that?”

you rolled your eyes at him and he smiled. 

“she’s seriously pretty,” 

“very pretty,”

“(name) has a pretty voice,” bang sihyuk put his papers on the desk, “and she’s a strong performer,”

“ah,” rain and zico made noises in acknowledgement. “she looks like a manhwa character,” zico commented, laughing along with the other two when they saw how the contestants kept stealing glances at you.

clip 3

— “(name)!” the radio host turned to you, eyes on the cue card.

you peaked up, ignoring heesung calling you cute. 

“there is a rumor going around,” the host's eyes went to you. 

your nose scrunched up, already knowing what was to come. 

“that when you were in school,, your desk was so filled with letters and gifts that it broke,”

your band members snickered while your face flushed in embarrassment. you shook your head and waved your hands around, “‘t’s not true, it’s- ah,,” you hid your face in your hands, “over exaggeration,” you managed through the embarrassment. the boys burst out laughing, clapping and hollering.

jake, who was sitting next to you, ran his hand up and down your back in comfort through his laughter.

“it’s true! it’s true!” jay laughed even harder when you protested his words. when everybody calmed their laughter (except niki, who found your embarrassment the best entertainment), you repeated your denial.

“it’s not true. but,,” you hesitated and the boys and host chuckled again, “there was a lot on the last day before summer vacation,”

jay, your ever so helpful, ex classmate, opened his mouth, “so many it letters they fell of her desk,” 

“JAY!!”

I want to talk about BoyNextDoor

This group debuted under KOZ Entertainment, Zico's label in HYBE, on May 30, 2023 and all six boys were already beasts.

Every song they've released has been S-class tier, in my opinion. Finger-licking good pop rock music with an oldies bend to it, god-tier choreography with that emphasis in performance quality that HYBE groups are known for, and frankly adorable, sweet personalities to boot. The boys have real chemistry and are legitimately talented. I'd say almost at the stage BTS were at debut. Though I could be biased.

Anyway, I think to understand what BND is, you first need to understand who Zico is.

There's no other rapper that best exemplifies the funky gutter musicality of khh than Zico. It's groove with an edge to it. Easy swag paired with barely contained energy. That's what drives Zico's flow and rhythm in his songs and dancing style. Zico is the artist all the male idols you know are bumping to in their dorms. He's not a saint, he's simply the best at what he does IMO. And it's clear all six members of BND adore him, look up to him, and are aiming to do their best to not let him down. And I find that sweet as hell.

BoyNextDoor is what happens when Zico does 'cute'. It's bright, gritty, fun, and funky at the same time.

Plus, their music and choreography is straight flames. I won't bore you with text. Listen and watch it for yourself. Find somewhere comfortable to sit and pay attention please.

One and Only DP

*

Serenade DP

(Did you catch that spin?)

*

But I Like You

*

That was all from their debut single album and all three songs are outstanding releases. BND is easily the best debut group or rookie in 2023 though Kiss of Life is a very close second. Their 1st comeback was on September 4, 2023 and again there isn't a single skip (although Crying comes close to being one lol).

I love the video and directing style in their MVs. The way they incorporate an actual physical door into their choreographies and MVs, is unique and interesting - BND is one reason I've been able to say that about a k-pop song this year. The boys' vocals are exceptional and perfect for the style of music they're pursuing too. And again, they can actually dance and perform.

The music is untouchable by the way.

Again, see for yourself:

But Sometimes MV

Are you hearing that outro?? Jaehyun's voice? Christ.

ABCD Love Live

*

I think BoyNextDoor is the best rookie group this year, their music is amazing, and that you should give them a good listen. Their performances are also fun to watch and you might find yourself impressed at their choreographies.

Dating Jungkook [11] || Jeon Jungkook

Seeing a needle in my arms, I knew I was in the hospital again. I spot Jungkook holding my hand while he is sleeping. I glide my hand through his hair as I thought to myself, I am always making worry about him. 

I woke Jungkook up since I needed to use the bathroom, and I didn’t want to think I went missing. 

“I am going to the bathroom,” I informed him, and he helped me get off the bed. 

“I am coming along,” Jungkook announced, and we walked together to the bathroom. 

Jungkook entered the girl’s bathroom as well. He’s slightly being overprtected, but I didn’t mind. 

Once I finished doing my business in the bathroom. As I was washing my hands, I looked up at the mirror, and immediately I broke down just by looking at those scars on my body. I feel like everything inside of me is shattering. The memories from last night came back flushing at me, all at once. 

I looked in front of me, meeting Jungkook’s eyes. I pulled back and looked at him, hurt and confused, and a little scared. Seeing those scars made my heartbreak into thousands of pieces. 

Jungkook blocked my view by barricading my face in his chest. Jungkook embraced me tightly, whispering. “I am right here. Stop crying, princess.” He cupped my face and wiped my tears with his warm thumbs. 

“Let’s go,” Jungkook said, leading the way while having his hand wrapped around my shoulder. 

Once we were back in the room, someone knocked on the door, and it was BTS. How did they know that I was here? 

“Are you okay, Shin Won?” J-Hope asked while rushing towards me. I nod my head. 

“Why do people enjoy hurting you?” Suga asked out of the blues. 

“I don’t know, why don’t you ask them?” I suggested. 

“Did you guys miss me?” I smiled, and everyone said yes except for one person. 

“Who said no?” I asked, and Suga raised his hand. I threw my pillow at him. “Rude jerk.” 

“How can you be so rude and caring at the same time?” I huffed. 

“I care about you, and it’s just that I don’t miss you.” Suga snickered. 

“Whatever, don’t talk to me.” Suga pissed me off. 

“I’m sorry, Shin Won. I just enjoy teasing you.” Suga apologized and hugged me. 

I chuckled, and someone knocked on the door. It was Zico mom. 

“Zico told me about last night, and I am sorry that happened to you. I came here to let you know that Zico is missing,” She informed me. 

All of a sudden, I had trouble breathing, and the pain in my chest got worse and felt like it was burning inside. Everything went black.

The Ghost of You - My Chemical Romance (no one is suprised) "You are never coming home, never coming home/ Never coming home, never coming home/ And all the things that you never ever told me/ And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me/ Never coming home, never coming home/ Could I? Should I?/ And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me/ For all the ghosts that are never gonna"

The Only Exception - Paramore "Maybe I know somewhere/ Deep in my soul/ That love never lasts/ And we've got to find other ways/ To make it alone/ Or keep a straight face/ And I've always lived like this/ Keeping a comfortable distance/ And up until now I'd sworn to myself/ That I'm content with lonliness/ Cause none of it was ever worth the risk"

코끼리 (Gajah) - Gaeko & RM "Think about it/ Are you gonna be a star or a starfish?/ No disrespect for starfish/ But if you want a fish be selfish/If you looked in the mirror this morning/ Think about what you thought about/ Then look again and say/ You fight for yourself/ You sharpen your sword for yourself"

Hi I'm posting again 👀 This idea has been on my drafts since the very beginning of March so it's good to finally have it out. BIGGEST!!! thanks to fei @doiefy for helping me with this one 💗🌸

1. Mourning bride: Unfortunate attachment - I have lost all

The day spring returns, the morning still feels too cold for your liking. The Sun doesn't shine enough to melt the thin layer of ice covering the streets, the biker outside the coffee shop and the door handle.

It's been two hundred and seventy-four days since you last saw him. Yet your eyes still hope to find him again, right across the street opening the little flower shop in front of your workplace. It's all dark inside, except for the subtle cabinet lights keeping the plants and different flowers warm. No one comes to open early in the morning anymore, since Yuta left.

Everything in this life is part of a great predetermined cycle and makes perfect sense. Flowers are temporary organisms—that is, they develop periodically. After fertilization, some parts of the flower become a fruit, enveloping the seed; others die and fall instead, going back to where they came from. He told you once, that everything was meant to be and end. But you never imagined it would end that soon. So this is a story that only lasts one spring.

A year ago, you saw him for the first time opening his shop as the daylight was barely illuminating the old city buildings. Absolutely no one buys flowers so early in the morning, but you were grateful for the boy across the street silently keeping you company. While you arranged the tables outside and waited for the first regular customers to pick up their coffee orders, he accommodated and watered the plants outside his own shop, before the sun rays would start to hit too strong.

You dream of suddenly lifting your head and catching a glimpse of his healing smile once again, the same one you caught daily every time you accidentally exchanged looks across the frosted street. But he's not there. You asked everyone who worked in the flower shop if they knew anything about him after he left, starting to worry when a week without seeing him passed. They only said he had to gone back to his hometown, that they didn't know where he lived. And no, he didn't have a phone and they didn't know a house phone number either.

2. Pansy (Heart's ease): You occupy my thoughts

Your sketchbook remains the same since he left. The first study that you did together was the flowers of the bouquet you bought for your mother one afternoon after closing the café. You were going to visit your mother and honor her with her favorite flowers, but the truth is, you had been working up the courage for weeks to finally go up and talk to the flower boy.

Yellow tulips were in their glorious springtime display. Hopeless love, he made you write under the sketch he made for you. Yuta told you about the meaning behind your mother's favorites that he learned from a really old book his father gave him. He knew a lot and he loved his job.

The task was not easy, as you need to be extra careful with plants, but he carried it out calmly, choosing each flower carefully and putting them together in a beautiful bouquet. It made sure the selection was unique to each person. His eyes would light up every time he admired his finished work and handed out the flowers to the customers, a warm feeling flooding his chest. You were sure it was his smile that made every plant in the shop bloom.

"Victorians believed yellow tulips literally meant 'there’s sunshine in your smile'," you heard him from behind the big bouquet he was still arranging for your beloved mother. Only his brown hair and his big shiny eyes picked out as he skillfully worked on it. "So there's a brighter meaning behind yellow tulips nowadays."

Seeing the final product in your hands, you knew your mother would've loved Yuta. She grew a big garden in the backyard of your house since you were little, which now you take charge of. It isn't as pretty as you remembered it when she was still with you, but you still put the biggest effort in it as a way to keep her close to you.

She knew tons about plants and their meanings and ways to take care of them. She was as bright as tulips and delicate as a rose. She had the biggest heart and smile, even when she was about to give up forever.

Yuta reminded you of her a lot. The boy radiated an indescribable warmth. He had a potential of significance that was expressed in every word, every kind smile, every subtle touch. Coffee even took on a new meaning when Yuta started waiting for you every night at the café counter, hot cup in hand until you finished your shift and closed the shop together. When you were so tired it showed in your demeanor, he was there, silently cheering on you. His sun-beamed eyes and smile would say it all.

He left numerous empty tea bags with little works of art on them. Yuta painted on any surface that allowed for it and you scolded him for wasting the tea herbs in such a way.  Now you can only look at the small framed bags on the wall of the café and miss his chaotic presence. His memory lives on every time someone admires the work and asks who came up with the idea of painting flowers on tea bags. An old dear friend of mine.

"What do you think?"

"I think the Victorians were right," you looked at the tulips in your hands and then at him. "There's sunshine in your smile."

3. Blue Periwinkle: Pleasures of memory

Yuta and you were quick to fill your sketchbook with studies, as the days passed and you only grew closer to each other. Your mother's garden was blooming and shining all over again when he started helping taking care of it on the weekends. Hearty meals and deep naps under the pear tree during spring days would never be the same without Yuta accompanying you.

Comfort, he told you to write under the pear tree drawing on your sketchbook. You were jealous of the warm breeze that unabashedly ruffled his hair. Jealous of the light that filtered through the leaves of the tree and caressed his honeyed skin. You couldn't wait to just touch his lips with yours; become one with him and experience the true calm and comfort you have been longing for so long.

Soon, his expression made you understand. A smile reassuring you the time would come. 

"Wait for me," he asked in a whisper. His hand fixed a strand of hair behind your ear and his gentle touch moved to your cheek. 

You feared the moment would dissipate if you opened your eyes and looked at him. So you only reached for his hand and took it into yours, giving a heartening grip and a kiss to the back of his palm.

"I will always wait for you."

You waited for him until the end of this first day of spring, too. The last page of your book displays a sketch that you wish you never got to do. Fifteen red roses. You didn't think much about it the night Yuta came knocking on your door with the flowers in hand, since you were tasting his lips for the first time. You can still feel the spark of electricity that he left with each kiss and touch on your skin.

The bed feels too cold even after a year without Yuta. You think you should have gotten used to it at this point. But that last night you swore a promise to the Cherry Blossom that was peeking through your window. As yours and his body were becoming one and your soul was intertwined with his, you promised you didn't want to feel spring ever again if it wasn't with Yuta. The Moon was shining bright and you begged for her to let you love him eternally.

"Cherry Blossoms have a very short lifespan. After their beauty peaks around two weeks, the blossoms start to fall," Yuta carefully explained to you as you copied the image of the tree in your backyard. The flowers were, indeed, starting to fall.

"I wish they lived all year," you sighed, finishing the sketch and writing down its meaning.

You felt his arms wrap you from behind; his naked skin hot in contrast with yours, which remained cool from drawing by the open window. You never wanted the day to come.

"I wish this night could last forever."

His comment aroused a strange and restrictive feeling in your chest. A kind of pain that remains with you until this day and won't let you smell the fragrance of flowers like you used to do so freely. You looked at him through glazed eyes and found nothing but calm and a tender sense of love. And you kissed him as if you knew you were never going to hold him in your arms again.

Now you think, maybe it was meant for you to never see him again. Nonetheless, you still waited for him to reappear, like he did that first day of spring a year ago.

Fifteen red roses.

He once told you people often used roses to communicate things; if you knew the meaning behind the number of flowers, you could decipher the message. You only realized it a few weeks after you saw him for the last time, after he left without explanation besides what his coworkers told you. Leaving you with nothing but his memories in each drawing, in your mother's plants which he took such good care of for ninety-one days, in his cologne that remained on your sheets until you were forced to wash them, and in his blatant apology.

I am so sorry, I beg for your forgiveness.

It was worse than breaking up through a letter.

4. Forget-me-not: This connection can’t be broken or shaken by anything

It's the last day of spring once again and you are closing the coffee shop late into the evening. The shifts are getting busier as the days get longer and warmer. But it's good since you get a little more income and finally get to enjoy the summer breeze and the scent of wet soil, since it must be raining somewhere near your little old city.

You quickly get ready before the rain comes so you can be safe at home, but as you messily get on your bike you feel something fall off your bag, realizing you've left it open and your old sketchbook is now in the street, some of its pages scattered all over the place.

You don't know why you have kept it with you for so long since you never drew on it anymore and Yuta doesn’t seem to be ever coming back either. But still you decide to pick it up from the ground the moment you feel the smallest drop of rain touch your skin, fearing that it might damage it further and ruin some of your most precious memories of him you can still have with you.

One last page remains on the ground, the wettest from the raindrops, and you rush to pick it up when you notice that it's one you have never seen before. By looking at it closely, you confirm that it is not a drawing that you made, but that Yuta did. Delicate flowers that you remember he planted a long time ago in your garden, appearing in frothy blue clouds that resemble the sight of the sky. You ask yourself why you never took note of this flower, let alone why you never did with Yuta the very moment he planted it there.

But it seems like he did without you knowing. Tears of frustration roll down your cheeks and water the page in your hands. You haven’t thought of him all day until this moment. And you believed you were finally getting over it.

Forget-me-nots symbolize true love and respect. When you give someone these tiny blooms, it represents a promise that you will always remember them and will keep them in your thoughts.

His letter reads at the bottom of the page:

Promise me you will never forget me.

So this is a story that only lasts one spring, and you miss him every other season, especially the ones when the Cherry Blossom outside the window of your cold room won't bloom. He made sure to leave his memory printed in every corner of your life and many promises in the air. And you still wait for him every other spring, for the slightest manifestation that he can be back with you one day.

CW: Death Mention // Swearing

Old Friends Reunited

Hui was sitting alone outside the cabin, the three other boys inside doing their own things. Hui had been thinking lately. About his death. About how Hyunjin had brought him back. And about how almost no one he used to know, knew he was back.

He didn’t care that most of them didn’t know. Actually, if he was being honest he was glad they were out of his life, except for one. Out of his entire friend group, there was only one person he considered a real friend.

Hui stands and walks back into the cabin, seeing Hongjoong on the couch before speaking, “Hey, I’m gonna go out for a bit, okay?” Hongjoong nods in reply, “Alright, if you need anything just call.” “Will do,” Hui says before leaving.

Hui’s back in his old neighborhood, the one he lived in before his death. It doesn’t take him long to find the house he’s looking for. He parks his car and walks up to the door, knocking on it before waiting patiently, it was around noon and he honestly wasn’t expecting an answer.

The door opens, the man inside letting out a groggy, “Hello?” But once he sees Hui all signs of tiredness is gone in an instant, “Holy fuck… Hui?” Hui smiles softly and nods, “In the flesh. Hey Zico.”

“I know you aren’t a hugger but I don’t fucking care,” Zico says as he grabs Hui and pulls him into a hug, “Where the fuck were you?” Hui hugs him back and chuckles, “I already know you’re not going to believe me,” he takes a deep breath, “but I died.”

Zico pulls away from the hug and gives Hui a confused look, “You what?” His confusion changes to unamusement, “You’re lying.” Hui shakes his head, “No, I’m serious, I actually died. A demon brought me back, the prince of Hell actually.” Zico laughs, “Shut the fuck up. What’d you do? Got locked up and don’t wanna admit it?” Hui shakes his head again with a laugh, “I guess you’re just gonna have to meet him.”

Hui grabs his phone out of his pocket and calls Hyunjin, putting him on speaker, “Hey, are you busy right now?” “No, why?” Hui looks over at his friend before speaking again, “Could you teleport to me real quick?” “Uhh, sure..?” Hyunjin says, clearly confused before hanging up the phone. Hyunjin appears a few seconds later, walking up next to Hui. Zico looks at the demon in disbelief before back at Hui, “No fucking way…”

Chapter 17: Your Special Day

The following Wednesday it was your birthday. Your 26th birthday, to be exact. Apart from making you closer to 30 than you were to 20, 26 wasn’t a terribly monumental birthday, but it was your special day nonetheless. Your dad had called that morning. Your sisters had both called, and would be coming to visit to celebrate this upcoming weekend. Your friends from back home and from college had texted. The other stylists had sung to you when you first got to the studio and pitched in to get you a small gift. Even Mrs. Choi. had wished you a happy birthday.

Everyone who mattered to you had reached out and made at least a small effort to make you feel special on your special day. 

Everyone except Tae.

You had spent all morning with him and he hadn’t said anything, hadn’t made any indication that he knew what today was. It might not have bothered you so much had he not made such a big deal of your previous two birthdays that you celebrated while working at Big Hit. On both occasions he’d started a countdown a week out and had been almost as excited as he was on his own birthday when the day finally arrived. 

The first year you were there he got you a three month’s supply of your favorite delicious, but ridiculously overpriced dark chocolate truffles. He didn’t give them to you all at once, though, because he was afraid you would eat them all in one sitting which was a valid concern. Instead, he gave you one every day for the next three months. If he knew he wasn’t going to see you over the weekend for a shoot or show, he would give you three on Friday, two of them with Post-it notes saying things like ‘Eat me on Saturday’ or ‘Poisonous until Sunday’. With a level of restraint that surprised even yourself, you always waited to eat them on the appropriate day. Even after those three months were over you would sometimes get to the studio and find one on the counter in front of his chair or get home in the evening and find one had been slipped into your bag.

For your second birthday while at Big Hit, he got you three tickets to see Zico in concert so you and your two sisters could go together. He knew how much you all loved the rapper and also knew that your sisters had been trying to get you to go to a concert with them for over a year. Somehow, he had secretly reached out to your older sister to find a date that worked for the three of you. He had held the tickets up to you, but before he let you have them he made you promise that, if you went, you wouldn't come back saying Zico was your new favorite idol. You scoffed at that and then assured him that Jimin would absolutely still be your favorite idol once you got back. He laughed at that and gave you the tickets, knowing full well that he was your favorite and nothing was ever going to change that. 

This year, though, there had been no countdown. No excitement. No presents. No remembrance. The worst past was, after everything that had happened over the last month, you weren’t even surprised. You were just disappointed and heartbroken.

Later that afternoon, you were in the studio staring intently at the PowerPoint on your laptop in front of you. Mrs Choi had asked all the stylists to put together concept proposals for the upcoming single’s music video and you were determined to come up with something great. She had never picked any of your ideas before, so there wasn’t much reason to think she would this time, but you wanted to wow her nonetheless. 

Pouring yourself into this proposal over the last couple weeks had also been the perfect distraction from your ever deteriorating relationship with Tae. There wasn’t much that made you happy anymore these days, but getting lost in a swirl of colors and patterns in your imagination did provide you some solace.

You were flipping back and forth between color palettes trying to decide which one screamed ‘Dynamite’ when the door to the studio opened. In walked Tae, looking so incredibly excited, and for a moment your heart leapt with joy. 

He remembered.

Surely, he’s come to wish you a happy birthday and apologize profusely for not remembering sooner.

But, a second later Jisoo followed him through the door and your heart plummeted back down, nearly fracturing upon impact. After how long it had been since he’d last visited you, it hurt that he brought her the first time he came back. The fact that he brought her here today, on your special day of all days, made the pain twice as bad.

“Hi, Noona!” he said brightly as he walked over to where you were sitting. 

“Hi, Tae,” you said flatly before mumbling with even less enthusiasm, “Hi, Jisoo.”

“Hi, Y/N,” Jisoo said in a sickly sweet voice. “It’s so good to see you.”

The way she said that made the hairs on the back of your neck stand up; she knew how much you hated seeing her with Tae. Given your chilling conversation with her in the elevator last week, a part of you was now terrified that she knew exactly why it bothered you so much. 

“What are you working on?” Tae asked excitedly, peeking his head over your shoulder to see your laptop screen.

“Oh, it’s nothing,” you said quietly as you minimized PowerPoint. You used to love sharing your concept ideas with him, loved getting his input and then brainstorming together, but you didn’t want to share this with him. This stupid proposal was the only thing that was giving you any purpose right now. It felt like he had taken everything else from you and you didn’t want him to have this too.

He had the audacity to look slightly hurt that you’d shut him out of whatever you were working on, as if he hadn’t spent the last few weeks shutting you out of his life entirely, but he quickly shook it off. Sensing from your expectant look that you were wondering why they were here, he preemptively answered your next question.

“There’s a leak in the ceiling of Jisoo’s recording lab and we can’t go back in until it’s fixed,” he said with a pout. “So I thought we’d come here instead.”

And just like that, the hurt multiplied exponentially. He wasn’t here to wish you a happy birthday. He wasn’t here to see you. He hadn’t even wanted to come here in the first place. He was here only because he had no choice.  

And, he had brought Jisoo.

“Do you mind if we work here?” he then asked, though, as he did so they were already walking towards the couch, indicating to you that he didn’t actually care about your response.

“No,” you said quietly, eyes cast back down at your laptop. “It’s fine.”

~~~

An hour later you were trying and failing to block out their conversation. Jisoo’s voice was already like nails on a chalkboard, but it became even more whiny and annoying whenever she talked to Tae. Every word out of her mouth pierced into your subconscious, making it impossible to truly focus on what you were doing, but it was her utterance of one particular word that had you looking up in curiosity. 

“Hey, for the title” she started. “Are we still thinking it should have the word ships in it?”

“About that,” Tae replied, suddenly sounding very excited. “I actually thought of a completely different title last Friday night.”

“Oh?” Jisoo asked suggestively. “Did something at dinner inspire you?”

“Yes,” he said shyly. “As a matter-of-fact, something did.”

“But, I’d like to keep it a secret for now,” he then added a moment later. “I want to give it a little more thought.”

“OK, TaeTae,” she cooed. “I can’t wait to hear it.”

The room grew quiet again as they both returned their attention to their laptops. You looked back at your own, but your mind was currently miles away.

Ships

That sounded so familiar, but your brain was in such a fog that you couldn’t figure out why. You were still thinking about it a few minutes later when suddenly the silence was broken by the sound of Jisoo humming. As you sat there listening to her, staring blankly at the screen in front of you, a memory washed over you.

Some sad, sweet lullaby about ships 

Though you had worked hard to block out nearly every other recollection from that night, you found yourself coming back to this one over and over again. Unlike the rest of the night, and the following day, which had been full of anxiety, confusion, and sadness, those few minutes you spent laying on the couch, drifting in and out of sleep while you listened to Tae sing, had felt decidedly peaceful. He sounded so relaxed and content. Just listening to him had comforted you and made you forget about all the stress and drama of the evening.

You couldn’t help but wonder if he had still been singing this song when he found you sleeping on the couch, if he had continued singing it while he picked you up and tucked you into bed. Part of you hoped he had. It was clearly a love song and, even if it wasn’t meant for you, the idea of him singing it while holding you made your heart flutter nonetheless.

To this day, you still were not sure if he knew you had heard him. It wasn’t unusual for him to spontaneously and subconsciously burst out into song so it’s possible he didn’t even realize he was singing that song in the first place. 

You realized in the days afterwards that it must have been a song he was personally working on, one that would likely end up on his mixtape whenever it was released. Even if he had only inadvertently sung it in front of you, it still felt special that you got to hear it before anyone else.

Although you didn’t really remember many of the lyrics, you were half asleep when you heard him singing, you distinctly remember that the song was about ships. And, you definitely remember the melody. It was wistful and a bit sad, but also sweet and soothing. Above all else, it just sounded so Tae.

But, it also sounded exactly like the song Jisoo was humming right now.

Upon realizing that this was the song they were recording together, that he had essentially given it to her and even wanted to rename it to commemorate their date, something broke inside you. 

Every single sad, lonely, heartbroken feeling you’d ever experienced because of him suddenly welled up inside you all at once and it was beyond overwhelming. You couldn’t move. You couldn’t breathe. You couldn’t think. All you could do was feel.

And it fucking hurt.

“TaeTae, I’m hungry. Let’s order some food and have a couch picnic,” your brain somehow registered Jisoo was saying.

You were staring at the screen in front of you, but you honestly could not see a thing. Everything was foggy and blurry as your eyes began to fill with tears.

‘Ok, we can do that,” Tae replied.

“Y/N, do you want anything?” he then asked you.

“No, I’m not hungry,” you said quietly, your voice on the verge of breaking. 

“I actually don’t feel that well,” you continued a moment later. “I’m going to head home.”

You closed your laptop and started packing up your things as quickly as possible as wave after wave of nausea washed over you. At any moment you thought you might retch out the contents of your stomach along with your heart and soul. While you were stuffing things haphazardly into your bag and willing yourself to keep it together for just five more minutes, Tae had gotten up from the couch and walked over to you.

“Are you OK?” he asked worriedly. 

“I’m fine,” you said as you pulled on your coat.

“You don’t look fine,” he replied back, his face now full of concern. “Do you want me to walk you to your car? Or drive you home?”

“No,” you said hastily. “I’m fine, really, and you’re busy right now anyway.”

“Y/N, wait-,” he started.

“I’ll see you later,” you cut him off. 

Before he could say anything else you turned and quickly walked out of the room. You kept your head down, eyes trained on the floor, the entire walk to your car. The moment you got inside and closed the door you let out a heart wrenching sob. You sat there crying in the car for an hour, your head slumped against the steering wheel, wondering how it could possibly hurt so much to lose something that was never even yours to begin with.

[bisexualhobi]

lol i searched on twitter and the original question zico asked was are there people who don't like doing things to their nails? and then hobi answered. but the subtitles are up to the reader's interpretation pretty much if you don't know korean and armys will give them their own meaning (lol), you know when someone does something bad you might say "this guy is incredible" and to someone who isn't fluent in english might think the incredible is praise but it was in a disbelief way. same thing with "amazing" (놀랍다 & 대단��다 <- the words hobi used to recall yoongi and jin's reactions and he quotes them so verbatim kinda) except i would have used "surprised/shocked" instead for the subtitles. besides that zico and hobi point out they kept being "amazed" (more like shocked) that he kept doing it, that should tell you their feelings about nail art.

yoongi and jin kept being shocked that he kept painting his nails..... hmm ok

[khiphop-discussions]

I think it was very nice to see actual pics and interactions from the different industrys? I don't know why khiphop fans always try to find something wrong with this kind of thing ( i know j hope has been friends with Jessi for some years and RM it's/was friends with Zico), anyways there we're also lots of actors and other idols and even the kpop fans did not make a big deal out of it .

Ps: i'm pretty sure rappers are actually friends with more idols than we think, they just don't show it because most people would associate them with the idol industry

The reaction from the khiphop community was overwhelmingly positive from what I've seen.

The last anon is a j-hope or bts fan as referenced by them knowing his mixtape and album. As for me, like I said I was skeptical at some points but gave the benefit of the doubt in the end.

(Side note about that portion about DPR Live cause IDK how that came off but I wasn't trying to make it seem like he never engages with anyone except for business and now "all of a sudden he's hanging out with people". I was more along the lines of saying I was happy to see him posting with others in the industry cause you don't get to see it all that often since DPR is more reserved and introverted.)

Overall, if someone comes to me from any part of the spectrum to talk about something then I'm (usually) gonna talk about it. I usually try to have a more multi-faceted view on things. Sometimes I agree, sometimes I don't but I'm gonna attempt to be honest about how I feel/felt about a given situation. I didn't mean to rain on the parade but that was just how I analyzed the situation overall.
