YUL 871 (1966)

[tosahobi-if]

Shehsgwggwgwgagafwf the dual cultivate ask killed me. Can I make it worse by asking how the ROs would handle if the situation is flipped? That THEY’RE they ones needing MC to valiantly save them by smashing? Like do they handle that better or even worse ahahah

the use of the word “valiantly” in this context making me yell HAHAHA

jinwol would have a classic case of jinwol logic and rationalize it a him problem and therefore he can totally just die. i think it’d take a lot of convincing on the mc’s part that they were okay with it and even then the entire situation would just be really awkward. the combination of mc (has feelings) and my life is in danger (whatever) AND being intimate would be too much for him JAJEJJF

yul is interesting. i think they don’t mind seeming weak or looking like they help in the mc’s eyes, but that’s only when they have control of the situation and can use it to their advantage. they’d be unusually flustered. not that they don’t enjoy it (they do!) but i think being that unintentionally vulnerable would be a little jarring for them. there’s no one else they’d trust more.

iseul would be pretty much the same HAHAHA she’d treat it as a favor between two friends. no convincing needed on her end, the two of you can get this over with in the next twenty minutes, right? cue delayed reaction and a total freak out a whole week later.

??? would run off, tbh. they have enough problems with intimacy that this would freak them out. the mc would literally have to chase them down and that’s assuming they haven’t already dealt with the problem themself.

The City Of Love And Secrets

Male Reader X Kim Sejeong

Length: 7.6k +

Tags: Couple, Creampie.

A/n- First work in a while. Hope its ok

Paris. The city of love. Everyone has heard that saying and it was honestly true. From your first steps off the plane, you just felt your emotions heighten somehow. Sure it could have been a placebo effect just knowing you were there but either way, you could just feel the love in the air. 

Your walk through the airport was almost robotic until you felt a tap on your shoulder. Looking to the side you saw Sejeong smiling at you and handing you a bottle of water. 

“Drink. You slept for most of that flight so I imagine you are thirsty.” 

Taking a sip of the water, you continued to walk throughout the airport eventually reaching the luggage pick-up section. A few minutes go by as the two of you just stood there in silence, your fingers fidgeting. The sound of a slam gets you back to your senses as you see the luggage begin to fall down the conveyor belt. 

Different kinds of suitcases move around on the belt as you see the familiar blue from your couple set. Picking them up, you check to see if your names were on them. Once you saw that the bags were both yours, you picked them off the belt and placed them on the floor. 

Pulling out the handles, the two of you made your way to the exit to the airport. The flashing cameras were already going off as you got closer and closer to that door. Finally, near the door, you saw your security team waiting to escort you. With a quick nod, the men formed a circle around the two of you as you walked out the door. 

The yelling from the cameraman was very apparent as they were not happy that they couldn’t take any shots of the star in front of them. The yells from your security team rang in your ears as you took slower and slower steps until the circle was opened, showing you the front door to the black car. 

Stretching out your hand, you then let Sejeong enter the car as you followed behind her. Once in, the door gets closer as the camera flashes continue to go off. The sound of the trunk closing gets your attention as the car begins to move little by little. The honking from the horn continued to echo in the air until police began to push the paparazzi from the car. Finally free the Mercedes picked up speed In the street. 

“Well, that was quite the event. I’m glad I scheduled that security to be there for us.” 

“I didn’t expect people to know who I was. That honestly was a surprise.” 

“I knew it would be like this. Your fame blew up thanks to the Netflix show. Fashion week here in Paris is also a massive thing, so anyone invited to these shows would get surrounded by paparazzi as well.” 

“Well thank you for planning appropriately. That’s why you're my favorite manager.” 

“I’m your only manager.” 

“Exactly. That makes you my favorite manager either way.” 

Laughter filled the car as you slid your hand towards Sejeong’s, taking hold of it. A smile filled your face as you looked towards your girlfriend, Her smile was just as big as your own. The ride from the airport to your hotel continued as you finally made it to the front door. This place just looked amazing from the outside. 

The white exterior was somehow very pleasant to the eyes as you opened the door to the car. Stepping out, you reached out and helped Sejeong step out of the vehicle as well. Bellboys soon grabbed your luggage as they then pointed towards the front door. Following their lead, you made your way into the hotel. 

The hotel kept its older look which was honestly perfect. It’s kept that romantic feeling you had felt earlier coming off the plane. Getting to the reception desk you stood in front of a French woman who gave you a big smile. 

“Welcome to the Ritz Paris. May I know the name your reservation is under?”

“Yes, it’s under the name Park Dong-Yul.” 

Once you said your name, the woman began to search for your name on the computer. The repeated clacking from the keyboard came to a stop as the receptionist looked up and smiled at you. 

“I see you have the presidential suite reserved for two weeks as well as another room on the floor below. It is a great suite and I am sure you will enjoy it there. Now I see that your stay is already paid for so I will just hand you the key cards.”

Once the cards were programmed, the front desk worker handed them to you and smiled. 

“I hope you enjoy your stay here. The bellboys will help bring up your luggage.”

“Thank you.” 

Grabbing the cards, you followed the bellboys as they escorted you to the nearest elevator. Once you entered you saw that the elevator had one of the scanners that the doors had for key cards. 

“Mr.Park. May I ask you to scan your key card? You will need to use it each time you want to get up to the penthouse floor.” 

With a quick nod, you scanned your keycard on the elevator panel and pressed the round button labeled P. As the doors closed, you felt a small jolt come from the elevator as it commenced its journey up. The ride was short as the hotel was not that tall, so a ding from the elevator came quickly. Once the doors opened, you stepped out and followed the bellboys to your front door. 

“Just scan your key card and you can enter your home for the next few weeks.” 

Scanning the card, a small beep rang out as the lock to the door came undone. Pulling down on the handle, you pushed the door open and held your hand out to Sejeong. As she took hold of it, you both went inside your suite and began to take a look around. As the bellboy entered and placed your bags in the living room. 

Taking out a bit of money, you handed it to the bellboy and he said his goodbyes leaving just Sejeong and yourself in the room. Taking a look around, you saw a big living room with a nice tv and couch. Walking towards the bedroom, you saw how big the one bed was with a giant frame holding the mattress. 

A few more steps bring you to the bathroom. The massive glass shower was in the corner as you saw a big bathtub at the edge of the wall. The double vanity was perfect for getting the 2 of you ready at the same time.

“Really is a beautiful suite.” 

“Yeah, it is.” 

Taking a few steps closer, Sejeong then hugged you and looked into your eyes.

“We should freshen up.” 

Kissing Sejeong on her forehead, you nod your head in agreement and pull back from her. Your girlfriend then began to remove her clothes in a hurry and jumped into the shower. Following her example you did the same. 

Entering the shower, your body was quickly hit with the warm water from the shower head. With her back facing you, your arms wrapped around your girlfriend's waist and pulled her close to your own body. Your lips went to her neck and began to pepper it with small kisses up and down her collar. 

“Mhmmm. Already? We just got here.” 

“Can you blame me? Your body just drives me feral.” 

Lowering your hands, your fingers got closer to Sejeong’s folds until you felt her hand grab you.

“As much as I would love to have a little session, we should get ready for today. This is the only chance we have.” 

Much to your dismay, your hands pulled back and Sejeong grabbed the soap. Spreading it all over her body, your hands helped lather her smooth skin. Your fingertips could feel every bump and curve on your girlfriend's body as they helped her reach all the parts of her body. 

Once done with her, Sejeong did the same to your own body with a few little slaps to your ass while she was at it. The shower came to an end as the water washed away the remaining soap from your bodies, down the drain. 

Stepping out of the shower, you grabbed some towels and got both of you dry. Once dry, you made your way over to your luggage and began to pull some clothes from your suitcase. The striped red dress shirt you threw on matched Sejeong’s orange top. The top was a little shorter showing a bit of her stomach before reaching her black jeans. Throwing a brown blazer on top, her outfit was complete. 

Once you finished putting on your dull outfit and grabbing a small box from your backpack, you saw Sejeong walking back to you after putting the phone down. Taking hold of your hand, Sejeong then smiled and looked into your eyes. 

“I already requested a cab for us. There should be one for us in a few minutes. We should probably head down.” 

“Sounds good. After you, my dear.” 

Heading to the door, your legs followed behind your girlfriend to the elevator. Pressing the button, the elevator dinged as the doors opened. Stepping on, your girlfriend pressed the button to go down to the lobby. As the doors closed, the elevator gave a little jolt as it went down a few floors. 

That small ding returned as the elevator doors opened once more. Stepping off with Sejeong, the two of you hand in hand walked towards the exit and made your way outside. Seeing the familiar Yellow hue of a taxi, you made your way over and opened the door for Sejeong. Jumping in after her you fastened your seat belt and looked at the driver. 

“Near the Eiffel Tower please.” 

With a simple nod, the man began to drive as Sejeong laid her head on your shoulder. The drive was rather short but silent. Neither you nor Sejeong spoke the entire time. The only sound that your ears picked up was your heartbeat. 

Stepping out of the yellow vehicle, the masses of tourists all around crowded both you and Sejeong as you both began to walk. Knowing your girlfriend would want a picture to commemorate this trip, your legs continued to look for a good spot. 

Finding an empty street with the national landmark in view, the two of you made your way to the middle of the road and looked at the giant tower. No cars came down the stone road as Sejeong pulled out her phone and handed it to you. 

As the Idol began to pose, you pulled up the camera app on her phone and began to take pictures of her. Each image that filled your screen brought a wider and wider smile to your face. She was your happiness, and you never want her to be gone. 

As Sejeong walked back over, you were reminded of the plan once you saw some documents in her hand. Bringing your head back up, Sejeong smiled and took hold of your left hand. 

“It’s just over there. Let’s go!” 

Filled with energy, the two of you ran down the street like a young couple in a K-drama. Arriving in front of the nice building, the two of you walked to the front door that had two main words written on it. Town Hall.

Pulling the glass door open, Sejeong ran in leaving you to follow her brown jacket to the reception desk. Getting closer, you saw Sejeong trying and failing at communicating with the woman at the desk. She was good at understanding English but not the best speaker.

“I’m sorry. She’s a little enthusiastic. What floor can I find the family and children department?” 

“Third floor. On the right-hand side once you step off the elevator.”

Despite the woman’s heavy accent, you managed to understand what she said. Thanking the woman, you followed what she said and walked over to the elevator, and hopped on. Selecting the third floor, the metal cage closed its doors and made the quick trip up. 

When the doors opened, you took hold of Sejeong's hands and walked out of the elevator. On the left side, a giant staircase could be found that probably led back to the lobby. Going to the right, you began to follow the arrows to a door at the end of the hallway. 

Getting closer you began to see on the door the words in French were written as well as in English, Family and children. As your hand went on the handle, you began to feel Sejeong’s hand tremble as it was intertwined with your own. 

Feeling that, you let go of the handle and look back at Sejeong. 

“Hey. you ok?” 

“Y-Yeah. Just nervous about it all. W-What will people say? What will the company say?”

“A-Are you having doubts? We don’t have to do this if you don’t want to. If you felt pressured I’m-“ 

“No. I never felt pressured, Dongyul. I ran here with you, remember? It’s just that so much could go wrong. First, the company could fire you let alone-“

“Sejeong, dear. I couldn’t care less about what people will say or think. The only thing that matters to me is your response to this. Do you love me?” 

“Don’t ask me stupid questions. Of course, I love you.” 

“That’s all that matters. We don’t need to do this today. We can just go enjoy the day and do this in the future. I will wait as long as you need me to. I will love you for the rest of my life, even if we never did this.

Walking away from the door, you felt your feet stop in their tracks as Sejeong pulled you back. Wrapping you in her arms, your girlfriend dug her head into your chest and stayed there for a bit. 

“Let’s do it. You could have gotten mad that we made it all the way here but didn’t go through with it. Instead, you wanted to make sure I’m ok and will do anything to make me happy. Even wait for a time I’m 100%, be that today or never. The fact is my life as an idol will always bring me doubts about stuff but the one thing I don’t doubt is how much I love you. Let’s go.” 

A smile filled your face as you reached for the door handle and turned it. Walking into the room, you found a woman at the reception desk looking at the two of you entering. 

“Welcome to the Family and Children department. How can I help you? Do you have an appointment?” 

Luck was on your side as the woman spoke very good English.

“Um no but we were hoping to get a ceremony held today.” 

“What type of ceremony?” 

Sejeong took a step forward and smiled. 

“My boyfriend and I would like to get married.” 

The woman at that time stood up from her seat and gave you an expression that could only be described as delighted. 

“Oh, my god. Do you know how long it’s been since we had a wedding here? Let me call the mayor and he will come down from his office right now!” 

Picking up the phone, the middle-aged woman began to press several buttons on the landline and then put the receiver to her ear. 

“I wonder how long it’s been since they had a wedding here. She seemed way too excited to have to do a ceremony.” 

“I would assume they have one of these done every 15 minutes. There wasn’t even a line here at all.” 

Before you could continue your conversation the woman came running up to the two of you and began to push you out the door. Pulling you both to the stairs the woman began to speak once more. 

“Let’s go up a floor and we will meet the Mayor in his office. Did your two bring witnesses to sign on the marriage certificate?” 

“Shit. I might have forgotten about that part.” 

“Well typically we would reject you but I can sign and the mayor's secretary can sign as well. Just don’t tell anyone we will do it for you.” 

Your fiancé at that time chuckled and gave you a flick to the forehead. Finally, up the stairs, you found several rooms in a hallway. Following the woman, you made it to the door at the end of the hallway. As she opened it, you saw what seemed to be a desk in the room. Once in, you saw that there was another door next to the desk. 

As the younger woman saw you three enter, she waved at you all to walk over and stood up. 

“Perfect. He’s in his office waiting. I’m Michelle.” 

“Wow, your English is very good. The two of you have no accent at all.” 

“We were both raised in America. I will act as the translator even though Celine, who you met downstairs could do it as well. Now let’s head in with you and your fiancé.” 

Walking to the door. You turned the handle and found a man standing next to a table. Sejeong's hand began to tremble once more as you finally were face to face with the man that would join the two of you for life.

“Accueillir. Est-ce que vous êtes le couple que je vais épouser?”

Michelle then walked forward and spoke. 

“He said, " Welcome. Are the two of you the couple I will marry? His name is Pierre Blanc. 

“Ah tell him yes. We thank him for taking the time out of his day to do this for us.”

Michelle then translated back what you said. The mayor then replied.

“Bien. Les gens ne se marient plus à Paris.” 

“He said “Well. People have not been getting married in Paris anymore.” 

“Yeah, Celine mentioned something like that. Why?” 

“Ah well. This Generation doesn’t seem to want to go with the old-school traditions. Most couples seem to want to just keep things casual now.” 

“Well I understand those thoughts that people had but we have both been suckers for old romance stories.” 

Looking at Sejeong, you saw a large smile on her face as she nodded at your statement. Soon the rest of the people in the room began to grab things as you continued to look at her. 

“Sorry, you can't participate much in all these conversations.” 

“Eh, it’s ok. I understand what you guys are saying. Feels like you are translating for work as always. All I need to know is two words. I do.” 

“Sorry to interrupt but we are almost ready just fill out some of this paperwork and we can start. For the ceremony, He will give a bit of a speech and then ask you the question. I will be translating it all.”

Filling out the paperwork given, you both handed it to Michelle and gave it to the Mayor. The two of you stood in front of the Mayor. The speech he gave was on the long side but each sentence just somehow made you happier. Finally, the time the two of you were waiting for came. 

“Maintenant. Dongyul, Sejeong. le temps est venu. puis-je confirmer que vous êtes tous les deux ici de votre propre gré?”

“He said “Now. Dongyul, Sejeong. the time has come. Can I confirm you are both here of your own will?”

“Yes, I am here of my own free will.” 

With a bit of a struggle, Sejeong replied. 

“Yes me here want.” 

“Some chuckles left everyone’s mouths as they heard your fiancé’s English. 

“Merci d'avoir confirmé. Nous le faisons avec tous les étrangers. Le mariage est quelque chose qui peut être compliqué parfois, mais toujours une belle chose. Je pense que mon discours a pris beaucoup de temps, alors allons-y.”

Looking at Michelle you waited for her translation.

“Thank you for confirming. We do this with all foreigners. Marriage is something that can be complicated at times but is still a beautiful thing. I think my speech took up a lot of time so let’s get to it.” 

Looking back at the mayor he began to speak once more.

“Dongyul. Prends-tu Sejeong pour femme ? Aimer et tenir pour le reste de votre vie, à travers la maladie et en bonne santé ? Les moments faciles et les plus difficiles?”

“Dongyul. Do you take Sejeong to be your wife? To love and to hold for the rest of your life, through sickness and in health? the easy times and the hard ones?”

“I do.” 

With a smile, The mayor now turned to Sejeong. 

“Sejeong. Prenez-vous Dongyul pour mari ? Aimer et tenir pour le reste de votre vie, à travers la maladie et en bonne santé ? Les moments faciles et les plus difficiles?

“Sejeong. Do you take Dongyul to be your husband? To love and to hold for the rest of your life, through sickness and in health? The easy times and the hard ones?”

“I do.” 

“Très bien alors. Je vais sauter le reste de mon discours puisque je vous ai déjà ennuyé tous les deux. Pourriez-vous tous les deux signer votre certificat de mariage?”

“Very well then. I will skip through the rest of my speech since I bored you both already. Could the two of you please sign on your marriage certificate?

Stepping forward, the two of you were handed pens by Celine and reached down to the certificate. Signing your name on one line, Sejeong did the same and placed her own on the table.

“Now me and Celine will sign as the witnesses to your marriage.” 

The two pens that were used by you and Sejeong were picked up by Celine and Michelle and quickly put to use signing on the paper. Once done, the entire room began to clap suddenly, scaring both you and Sejeong. 

“Félicitations. Vous êtes maintenant mari et femme. Vous pouvez embrasser la mariée.”

“He said, “Congratulations. You are now Husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.” 

Hearing those words made your heart race as the ceremony was now over. The mayor skipped over a lot of other stuff and just married the two after his long speech. Without hesitation, your hands went to your wife’s cheeks as you pulled her in for a deep kiss. The two of you kissed for a few seconds until you pulled back. 

Pulling out the small box you grabbed earlier from your room. You flipped the lid open and showed her the wedding bands inside. Pulling out her box, Sejeong showed you the engagement ring you bought her a year ago. She couldn’t wear it publicly but always showed it to her closest friends. The small diamond stone in the center was just perfect according to your wife. Now she could proudly wear it as well as the band once everyone knows she was married. 

Taking out her ring. Sejeong handed it to you to put on her. Lining it up with her ring finger, you pushed it forward as the circular accessory fit just perfectly around her appendage. Now that the engagement right was on, you proceeded to push the wedding band above the engagement ring. Just as with the previous accessory, it fit perfectly ok her finger. 

Grabbing your wedding band, Your beloved wife did the same thing and pushed the ring around your finger. It’s official, you were her husband and she was your wife. 

Giving your thanks to all of the parties involved, the two of you began to run out of the office and to the staircase. Despite taking the elevator before, your hand pulled Sejeong down the stairs visiting each floor before reaching the lobby. 

As you got closer to the door, your mind told you to do something a bit stupid. With your left hand on the door, you looked back and yelled. 

“I JUST MARRIED THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN THE WORLD. HER NAME IS KIM SEJEONG SO BACK OFF IF YOU HEAR THAT NAME!”

“Dongyul!”

Pressing on the door, you pulled Sejeong out of the building and continued to run, hearing the laughter from your betrothed. Once a bit of a distance from the town hall, you stopped running and looked at your new wife. 

“So what’s the plan? Dinner? A walk?” 

A smile filled Sejeong’s face as She raised her hand. From the corner of your eyes, you saw a taxi pull up next to both of you and stop. The black vehicle had its doors pinned by you, welcoming Sejeong inside. 

Once the two of you were inside, your wife spoke up to the driver, directing him back to the hotel. As the Four wheels of the car began to spin, you turned towards Sejeong and gave her a confused look. 

“Let’s just go back. Ignore him. Kiss me.” 

Without hesitation, your hands grabbed Your wife’s face and pulled her toward your lips. No matter how many times you kissed her, it always felt like the first time with how your heart fluttered. Pushing your tongue forward, the two of you fought for dominance over who would lead. As your hands began to move from her face, a cough caught your attention from the front of the cab.

“No kiss!” 

The older man seemed very angry at the action taking place in the back of his vehicle. All you could assume was that the old man had seen plenty of nasty things in there and wasn’t about to see another one take place.

“Sorry.” 

A small giggle left the both of you as the man rolled his eyes. The drive continued in silence until you saw the familiar white outline of the hotel. Arriving at the entrance, you pulled out some cash and handed it to the driver. Angrily he took the cash and pointed at the door, telling you both to exit.

A bellboy at the time opened the cab door and welcomed you both outside. Going to the entrance, you and Sejeong walked hand in hand to the elevator. The entire staff continued to give you happy looks as they saw you both walk in a brand new couple. Well, newlywed couple. 

After the short trek, you arrived at the door of your hotel room. Scanning the keycard, the two of you entered and arrived in the living room. 

“So, my dear wife. Why did we return to our room? We still have plenty of the city to explore.” 

“Well, I think in honor of our wedding day, we should keep things simple as well as revisit a memory. Do you remember our first date?” 

“Of course I do. It was your first trip to Japan in 2017. The rest of your members went to sleep but we both stayed up in my room having room service and watching a movie. I was so scared of confessing that day but it turned out you felt the same.” 

“Well, that’s what we will do. Let’s order room service and just watch a movie. We don’t need anything fancy to commemorate today. Well, anything else.”

“Then I’ll order some food, you put something on to watch.” 

With a nod, Sejeong went and turned on the tv while you picked up the phone. After ordering various foods, you made your way to the couch and sat next to your beloved. 

“I connected my phone to the tv. I didn’t manage to see last week's episode of Amazing Saturday if you don’t mind.” 

“Anything you want my dear wife.” 

Taking off your shoes, you laid down and pulled Sejeong on top of you. The idol stayed on top of you as her head laid on your chest. A couple of minutes went by as Sejong spoke up. 

“Taeyeon Sunbae is so pretty. Do you think she has a partner?” 

“Why? You want to divorce me for her already?” 

“If she’s interested I wouldn't say no.”

With a laugh, you brought your head down and kissed her on the forehead. A few minutes went by as you both played along with the game the cast members were playing that episode. A sudden knock got the attention of both of you away from the tv. Pausing the episode, you both stood up and made your way to the exit.

As the wooden door opened, you saw a man with a pushcart standing there with your food. Welcoming the man inside, he proceeded to push the cart into the room. Once he arrived at the kitchen, you stopped moving the cart and gave him both a quick nod. Handing him a bit of cash, the man thanked you both and made his way out of the room. 

Grabbing a few plates, you both brought the food into the living room and placed it on the table. You had a nice steak dish with Demi glazed vegetables. Sejeong had grilled salmon with stir-fried vegetables on the side. Without saying anything, the two of you dug into your meals and shared the different plates of food. As soon as one was done, you got up and went for the next in the kitchen. 

After a bit, The two of you felt the after-effects of stuffing down 3 plates of food. At this point, an older episode of Amazing Saturday started playing as you both were done eating. Despite this being your wedding day, it almost felt like just a normal date. 

“Dongie. Can you believe it? We’re married. I never thought this day would come.” 

“We managed to keep our relationship hidden for six years now. Of course, we were ready for the next step. The only woman I want in my life is you. Screw the repercussions.” 

“God I love you. Today has honestly felt like a romance movie or a dream. I don’t want to wake up if it is one.” 

“This isn’t a dream. Do my lips not feel real?” 

Pulling Sejeong a bit closer, you gave her lips a few quick pecks which made her smile. 

“Mhmm, I might need a little more convincing this isn’t a dream.” 

“How about this?”

From her lips, you began to give her cheek a few small kisses and then moved down to her neck. The constant pecks on her collar caused the idol to begin to moan out loud. With your arms, you quickly picked up your wife and began to stumble around the room. After a few small bumps, your bodies arrived in the bedroom and got next to the mattress. 

Placing Sejeong down, you both pulled away from each other and stared at each other in a state of lust. No words needed to be said as you both tore each other's clothes off in a matter of seconds. As you saw the nude body of your wife, your cock began to twitch from the marvelous sight. 

With a smirk on her face, Sejeong dropped to her knees and took hold of your dick. As her warm hands began to stroke your shaft, you felt her left hand wrap around your balls and play with them. 

“Wow. They feel so full. Have you been waiting for our wedding night?”

“F-Fuck yes. We didn’t have time with your schedule.” 

“Well. We have all night now.”

Your whole body began to shiver as Sejeong’s tongue began to move up your length. The small movements from her tongue made you anticipate what was to come. As your wife’s tongue reached the top, her lips suddenly wrapped around your tip and began to give it small sucks. As a moan left your mouth, Sejeong smirked at your response.

With each suck, your wife increased the intensity of the action. Your back hit the wall Sejeong began to move her head down on your length. Placing your hand on her head, you began to move Sejeong further down on your cock with each bob. As your beloved’s eyes met with your own, she gave you a sign to be tougher. 

With a thrust, your length began to reach the back of Sejeong’s throat. Small noises left her mouth as you continued your thrusts in her mouth. Both of your wife’s hands grabbed your legs as she began to move them even farther than before. With the next thrust, Sejeong held her throat down on your length. The constricting feeling of her mouth was something that you loved. 

After a few seconds, your partner pulled her head back and removed her mouth from your cock. 

“Fuck Sejeong. How do you get better at this each time?” 

“Practice makes perfect, but I think we should cover our bases.” 

Raising her upper body, Sejeong pushed her breast together and wrapped your length in between them. Her soft skin blessed your length as Sejeong began to just move them around. With the help of the water, Your wife began to move up and down on your length. 

Your wife’s tits weren’t the biggest out there but they were plenty big for a tit fuck. Your hips moved and tandem with your girl as she looked up at you again. As her hands stopped squeezing her breast she immediately grabbed some soap and rubbed it all over her chest. Going back, Sejeong smooshed your length in between her lathered tits. The soap helped the speed at which you could move your cock in between. 

“Look at you, thrusting harder. What you can’t wait to cum?” 

“Fuck yes, Sejeong. Please help me cum.” 

“I’d hate for you to cum before the main event.” 

As Sejeong began to slow her breast movement down, you began to give her a pleading look that made her smile. 

“Ok. If you want to cum then cum in my mouth.”

Moving her chest away, your wife wrapped her lips around your tip once more and sucked on it. With each suck, Sejeong flicked her tongue on the end of your tip. She knew this was your weak spot. As groans began to leave your mouth, your girl gave one final flick to your tip causing you to cum. Shot after shot of your seed filled her mouth. 

You weren’t sure how much time had passed after a bit But Sejeong was still sucking on your cock. Being too much, you pulled your wife off your cock and just breathed heavily. A chuckle left Sejeong’s mouth as she washed the remaining soap off her body. Once clean, your beloved turned off the water and opened the shower door. Wrapping her body in a towel she then faced you and signaled you with her finger to follow her. 

Walking backward, Sejeong went into the room as you grabbed a towel and dried yourself off quickly. Once in the room, your spouse was laying on top of the bed with the towel thrown to the side. 

“You got to cum early so you better return the favor. Come eat my pussy.” 

Approaching your beloved, you immediately dropped to your knees and got a bit closer. The smell of lavender filled your nose as you put your lips on her thighs. With the small kisses you gave her legs, your head began moving further up. 

Finally, near her entrance, your hands placed themselves on her legs and kept them wide open. The glistening look from her pussy enticed you more than you could control yourself. Just as Sejeong got ready to speak, your lips gave her pussy a small kiss. 

“Come on sweetie. Don’t tease me.” 

“Fine then.” 

With a newfound fire in your belly, you stretched your mouth wide open and gave her lips a long lick. Pushing them open, your tongue began to move into her snatch and move all around. The moans that left your wife's mouth were music to your ears. Unwrapping your arms from her legs, you brought your hand to her pussy and pushed 2 fingers in. 

Thirsting your fingers in and out, Sejeong began to moan louder as well and tense her legs a bit. Each movement of your hand was accompanied by a rapid flick of your tongue. With her pussy spread open, you eventually found her clit and moved your tongue on top of it. Your flicks started on her small nub, causing Sejeong to close her legs around your head. 

“Fuck. That’s right. Keep eating my pussy. Eat your wife’s pussy.” 

Somehow you found the muscle strength in your tongue and hand to increase your speed even further. With each squeeze around your head, your beloved began to jolt around. Soon Sejeong’s yells filled the room as you made one final attack on her clit.

Feeling her thighs crush your head, a rush of fluids hit your mouth as your wife finally came. Drinking all you could, your hand continued to move in and out of her snatch, overstimulating your girl. Pushing herself away from you, Sejeong continued to pant for air. Getting up from the floor, you laid yourself down next to her and gave her neck small kisses. A laugh left her mouth as she turned towards you and kissed your lips. 

“Fuck that tongue of yours works wonders.” 

“Probably the reason you decide to lock me down.” 

With another laugh, Sejeong pulled you in for another kiss. Pushing your tongue forward, the two of you fought for dominance until your wife mounted you. Deciding to play along, your wife pushed her tongue into your mouth and began to move it all around. Moving a hand down, Sejeong’s hand took hold of your shaft and lined it up with her slit. With a lift of her hips, Sejong filled herself with your rod. 

A grunt left your mouth as your wife moaned. Moving her hips in a circular motion, Sejong began to grind on your cock, filling the two of you with pleasure. Moving your hands down to her hips, you began to help Sejeong with her movements as your eyes basked in the sight of her breasts. 

“Come on dear. Suck on my tits. These are all yours.” 

With that invitation, your mouth went to her right breast and wrapped her erect nipple In your mouth. Starting to suck on her breast, Sejeong’s moans began to increase. The grinding from your wife’s hips increased as her slick began to leak down her legs. 

“Fuck. H-How am I going to cum already again?” 

You weren’t about to question it as you began to pick your beloved's body up and slam her down on your cock. The thrusts into her cunt mixed with the grinding and sucking on her nipple began to overwhelm Sejeong. 

“J-Just a little more. Please, Sweetie.” 

You weren’t about to disappoint your wife, so pulling the two of your flat on the bed, you began to trust your cock into her snatch and move as fast as you could. Despite not being able to grind anymore, your constant filling of her pussy pleasured your wife just as much. Raising one hand, you quickly gave her left breast a slap which caused Sejeong to scream. 

Continuing the actions, your wife moaned louder and louder until you gave her tit a final slap. This helps your wife reach her peak and let her juices all over the bed. You already played with Sejeong before, so you stopped your thrusts and laid your wife on your chest. The act which the two of you were doing could be seen as nasty but between newlyweds, it was almost beautiful. 

Hoping off your dick, Sejeong looked at you and smirked. 

“You get to cum now. How do you want me, dear husband?” 

Flipping your woman on her back, you split her legs open once more and put your length near her folds. 

“I want to look into my wife’s eyes while I continue to fuck her.” 

A smile filled her face as she got ready. Pushing in, your length was quickly enveloped by the warmth that was Sejeong’s snatch. Moving your hips slowly, your rod exited and entered your wife. The small thrusts you were giving Your beloved were interrupted by a sudden smack to your ass. 

A giggle came from Sejeong as she began to pull you down closer. As her mouth got near your ear, she began to speak. 

“I told you to fuck me so you can cum. So don’t give me some little shove into me. Shove that cock deep into my walls.” 

With a hand on each side of her waist, you raised the strength and speed at which you fucked her. Back and forth your dick went in and out of her tunnel. Raising her upper body, Sejeong pulled you in for a kiss, battling for control once more. Despite surrendering before, you were now in control. 

Your tongue pushed hers back and swirled all around her mouth. Despite losing the battle with her mouth, Sejeong was happy and began to match your thrusts. As your rod exited her pussy, your wife pulled back and slammed down hard as you entered her once more. 

Having been fucking your wife for a little bit now, your cock was already aching for release. Sejeong must have noticed this as she gave you a smirk. A constricting feeling quickly enveloped your length as she tensed the muscles in her snatch. Continuing this action, your peak got closer and closer until you knew you would explode. You need to pull out.

“S-Sejeong. I’m gonna cum.” 

“Well then. Here’s your wedding gift.” 

With her legs, Sejeong wrapped them around your waist and surprised you. 

“Cum in your wife. Give her a nice big creampie 

You knew Sejeong wasn’t on birth control but your human instincts took over as you gave one final thrust into Sejeong. Your cock quickly began to throb inside your beloved and fill her open womb with your seed. This was your first time cuming in Sejeong, and it was the best feeling ever. 

After a few seconds, your cock stopped shooting your loads in her. Dropping down on top of Sejeong, you finally took this chance to relax after your sex session with Sejeong. Laying there with your wife, you finally were hit with it all. You’re married to Kim Sejeong and she was yours forever now. 

With a kiss, you both propped yourselves up and looked at each other. 

“I can’t believe this happened. I’m married to the greatest man on earth.” 

“And I married one of the hottest girls in South Korea.” 

A smack to the back of the head made you laugh as you both just thought about everything.

“God. I might lose my job huh.” 

“No, you won’t. We got a few weeks to figure out what we are going to say. Let’s just enjoy our trip.” 

A peck on the lips distracted you as your wife then stood up. Grabbing a bottle of champagne that was in the corner, Sejeong walked towards the couch and opened it. Your wife then surprised you as she poured some champagne on her chest and signaled you to come over. 

It was going to be a long night. 

Six weeks passed and you found yourself in the jellyfish conference room. At your side, Sejeong was holding your hand that was shaking. As the door opened, the two of you stood up and bowed toward the executives. As they each took a seat, the two of you stood standing until the CEO spoke up. 

“Ok, so we are here. What was so urgent you needed to tell everyone in the company?” 

“Well, Sir. Sejeong and I would like to inform the company that we are in a relationship.” 

The silence was nerve-wracking as they just stared at you. A laugh from the CEO filled the room as he shook his head no. 

“That is not permitted. Consider yourself fired and end it.” 

Before you could get another word out, Sejeong spoke first. 

“I’m afraid that’s not possible as Dongyul and myself are married. Here is a copy of the marriage certificate.” 

The man’s laughter left as he stood up and walked over angrily. Grabbing the paper the man looked it over and then stared at the two of you. 

“When the fuck did this happen?” 

“In Paris sir. We love each other and decided we want to spend our lives with each other.” 

The room felt tense as the need just hit everyone. 

“I also have something else to say. Dongyul I was hiding this but I want to tell you I’m pregnant.” 

The old man in front of you nearly fainted hearing this final part of the news. You immediately took Sejeong into your arms and picked her up. As you spun her around you were quickly reminded where you were and stopped. 

“Dongyul will stay as my manager. I will not leave my husband and I will stay happy with my new family on the way. Let’s face it, I’m the money maker for this company and I will leave if you try anything in my relationship.” 

The executives all agreed on the spot as the CEO just sat down defeated. They all knew she was the money maker and weren’t going to argue. 

With a final nod of approval from the CEO, the two of you ran out of the room and got into the closest elevator. Taking her back into your arms, you have Sejeong a kiss and placed your hand on her stomach. 

“So we are going to get a little one?” 

“Yeah. Sorry to spring that on you but I figured that would be the best way for you to keep your job.” 

“I don’t care. I’m just happy you’re mine forever.”

Kissing her once more, a sudden ding brought you back to your senses. The doors opened on some empty floor and your wife stepped off the elevator. 

“You gonna stay there or are you gonna come fuck me in the closest room.”

You didn’t have to be told twice. This was your life now. Married to the woman of your dreams with a little one on the way. It was perfect.

Prompt: “As beautiful as always.”

Song: Never Let Me Go – Florence and the Machine

For Reader x Tolya please?

Sup, did you miss me? In all seriousness sorry for being gone so long, my depression hit me like a truck and Baldurs Gate took over my single brain cell. But I'm back now, I think. Not at my usual pace but hopefully more consistent than I have been.

I Know All The Steps, You Still Surprised Me - Tolya Yul Bataar

Content Warnings: Fluff. Canon Compliant Threat and Discussions of Violence. Not Beta/Proof Read.

This wasn't your idea of fun. You had avoided most of Nikolai's required events until now, managing to find all and any reason for not attending. But despite every effort, you could not weasel your way out of this one.

So instead you are stood by some marble carved pillar, watching a bunch of nobility, drink and dance and try not to be too loud with their idle gossip.

You catch a glimpse of Tamar, walking arm in arm with that pretty Squaller who's name seems to just escape your memory. Nadine... Naomi... Nadia, you're convinced it must be Nadia. Tamar looks happy, talking as much with her spare hand as with her words. Her gestures all grand and her smile wide, Nadia's adoring gaze never taking flight from Tamar's face as she talks.

You let yourself smile, sharing in that happiness, moments like this, quiet and observed from afar, when love doesn't realise you're watching it bloom, those are moments that make things like the grandeur of tonight tolerable. And as much as sharing in the joy of others can bring that swelling in your chest, there is that part of you that is searching the room for your own little corner of happiness to be found in the sea of poised expressions and far too well practiced steps.

Happiness finds its way to you, before you can properly search it out, walking up behind you, a plate in hand, and dressed in more material than you've really ever seen him in. "Squid?" Tolya asks, slipping into the untaken space at your side. You gently push the plate away with a shake of the head, trying to not give away that he startled you.

But you end up taking a double glance once you see him. "Tolya," you say feigning more surprise than necessary. "You have covered your arms." You brush a hand down the fabric across his forearm. You cannot remember a time when he has worn anything to cover them.

"Something about etiquette," Tolya shrugs, "not my choice."

"Wouldn't want to deprive the room," you joke. He rolls his eyes, but the softness is there, as it always it.

"Look at you," he says, giving a single handed gesture to your equally uncharacteristic outfit.

"I look like one of them, I look..." you try to search for a word that fits. Pompous. Pretentious. Aristocratic. Hypocritical. But nothing seems to be cutting it.

"You look," Tolya says, not letting you find the words. “As beautiful as always.”

You are not sure how to respond to that exactly, so you just give him a half smile and turn your eyes back to the crowds. "We are going to get in trouble with Nikolai for not mingling."

"Not in trouble," Tolya says, "but maybe he will be disappointed."

"Like a sad puppy," you add, sighing. "I don't like this. It feels... wrong."

"I understand, you're thinking about out there, while all this is going on in here, it feels wrong to be drinking and dancing while outside is a warzone, while he is still walking around doing as he pleased," Tolya need not utter a name for you to know exactly what he means.

"Well, I am not drinking, and I am not dancing," you inform Tolya. Tolya turns his head to look at you as one of the waiters approach with two thin glasses.

"From the prince," the waiter tells you offering you one each. You can feel Nikolai watching you without even bothering to try and find him in the crowd, so you take the drink and fake a smile.

"That... he has ears everywhere," you mutter taking a sip.

"I think he is more concerned with you having a little fun," Tamar says, dropping in on the conversation, arm still linked with the Squaller. "You two do know how to have fun, don't you?"

"We know how to have fun," you say, but you hear how unconvincing it sounds. "Tolya we know how to have fun, right?"

"I think our ideas of fun are just rather different to the majority," Tolya tries to reason.

"Just dance you two, it will keep him happy and Saints, you might even enjoy it," Tamar says before turning back to Nadia, "can I have this dance my sweet?"

"It would be an honour," Nadia replies, allowing Tamar to guide them to the floor.

"Maybe we should," Tolya admits, looking at them.

"If you can find someone willing to dance with me, and not make fun and willing to risk the injuries, then fine, I will dance," you laugh, finishing your drink.

"Dance with me," Tolya offers, like it was the easiest thing in the world. Like those words don't nearly still the beating of your heart in your chest.

You remind yourself to breathe. It's not like you've not danced with Tolya before. You've danced with Tolya more times than you've danced with anyone in your life. But the moments you spend dancing with Tolya, they don't feel like they exist in this life. They feel out of reality. Those quiet nights on the ships deck, following steps to a song that no music can play. Trying to keep in time when the only rhythm is the ocean waves. That feels untouchable when the sun is up, when the moon is cascading on anything except the two of you and the wood of the decking. You don't dance with Tolya in moments that feel real. If you did you would start to let yourself remember things as they are and not as ghosts of dreams and quiet whispers.

But he puts his plate down and holds out his hand anyway. "Would you do me the honour?" He asks giving the smallest of bows to pull a smile from your lips.

"Tolya I'll make an idiot of myself," you tell him.

"Then let's make ourselves both fools," he says in return. You don't know how to argue with him, and you don't truly want to. Nothing could make you feel like some fancy ball in some palace wing is a place you'd choose to be. But moments with Tolya make otherwise insufferable nights, things you cannot bring yourself to regret.

You walk with him, trying to teach your mind to stop drowning out the music and pay attention to the steps. Tolya pulls you in by the waist like he has a hundred times. But that was in the quiet. That was by moonlight. That was with no one but the ocean and the stars to bare witness.

This is here and now and real. This is with people and friends and audible music. And you feel your breath catch.

Even over the sounds, Tolya can still hear the thudding of your heartbeat. "When have I ever let you fall?" He asks.

But you're not scared of falling. Far too late for that.

He twirls you around, and it's clumsy, you're both moving to a music different to everyone else, a pace the two of you only know with a soundtrack only you both can hear. But you're laughing, and his hand is holding yours and for a brief set of moments you cannot think of anything outside of the bubble the two of you have created. The ocean in your mind is calm and his eyes are on you and you don't have it in you to be anywhere else but right here.

Milarepa's Lofty Cave at the Central Rock Fortress, Gungthang, Upper Mangyul, Tibet

Milarepa's meditation cave entitled Cave at the Horse-Tooth of the White Cliff, Dragkar Taso Phug (brag dkar rta so phug), which is one of the six well-known caves at the high mountain cliffs. Dragkar Taso Phug is also known as the Central Rock Fortress or Üma Dzong (dbu ma rdzong) and therefore this place is more fully known as the Cave at the Central Rock Fortress of the Horse-Tooth White Cliff or Üma Dzong Dragkar Taso Phug (dbu ma rdzong brag dkar rta so phug) at Gungthang in Upper Mangyul (stod mang yul gung thang), South-Western Tibet.

According to oral history there are two caves where Milarepa altogether practiced for nine years. First, he practiced at the lower cave known as Horsetooth-like White Cliff (brag dkar rta so phug) for three years before he continued his practice at the upper Windy Garuda-like Red Cliff (brag dmar khyung rlung phug) for six years.

Finally, he practiced at an even higher place, the top of a rock cliff, from where he departed like a soaring garuda bird.

On top of lofty rock cliff also known as Horse-Tooth of the White Cliff, which is dramatically viewed from its base, is one of the most important places where Milarepa attained realization and as a sign he left his retreat place soaring up into the sky (nam mkha' Iding ba/nam mkha' phur ba).

Thus, the top of the cliff became known as Milarepa's Sacred Place of Flight (mi la ras pa'i 'phur sa gnas). Soon the place became enshrined within a small white building known as Jetsün Milarepa's Central Rock Fortress from where he left soaring up into the sky (rje btsun nam mkha' phur sa'i dbu ma rdzong)

At the western wall of the small building some ancient murals are preserved, while the other walls are decorated with new paintings containing Milarepa's life and liberation. In front of a former small window is as a new shrine with a statue of Milarepa.

Day Twenty-Five: A Day in the Life of the Other Jim Thompson

There are those who say I lack the ability to be spontaneous. Or perhaps they'll admit that I can be spontaneous as long as every detail of my spontaneity is carefully planned and approved at least three months in advance. But to these naysayers, I say, “Ha! Let today be proof you couldn’t be more wrong.”

I awoke in Chiang Mai with every intention of calling today’s entry “Repositioning #5” because that was the agenda set for the day: “Transfer by private car without guide from your hotel to the Airport to take a flight to Bangkok (10h10-11h35). Upon arrival at the Airport, please head to the exit gate and look for your driver who will be waiting for you, holding a welcome signboard with your name on it. Then, you will be transferred to your hotel in town by a private vehicle.”

The transfer to the airport and then the flight to Bangkok went according to plan. But then I met my local guide, Rich (or maybe Mr. Rich; I’m not sure whether “Rich” is a personal name, a family name, or merely a pseudonym; I expect the latter), a really friendly young man with an almost Cambodian permanent smile and a love of laughter. While we were waiting for the car, he said, “I have a suggestion. Your hotel room won’t be ready for several hours yet. You are scheduled to visit the Jim Thompson House on your last day. Why not visit it today instead? Then we’ll go get lunch. By that time you could check in.”

That idea sounded terrific to me, so off we set in a midday Bangkok traffic jam to reach the Jim Thompson House.

Now, I have wanted to see this house since long before I ever thought I’d actually travel to Thailand, and I wanted to do so for the silliest possible reason. Back when I was a graduate student and a newly-minted college professor, one of my preferred means of relaxation were to read “noir,” hard-boiled mystery novels like The Killer Inside Me, The Getaway, A Hell of a Woman, and The Criminal. The author of all these novels was Jim Thompson. So, when I discovered that Jim Thompson lived much of his life in Bangkok, disappeared under unusual circumstances, and lived in a place sometimes referred to as The Jim Thompson Mystery House … well, that was a place that intrigued me.

There was only one problem, however.

The Jim Thompson who wrote the novels and the Jim Thompson whose house is in Bangkok were two entirely different people.

The owner of the house was an architect who worked for the OSS (the predecessor of the CIA) during World War II. One of his last intelligence assignments was in Bangkok, and he fell in love with the city. He decided to live here permanently. Then, discovering that the cottage industry of making Thai silk was about to die out, he became fascinated with the fabric and the designs often printed on it. He took samples to New York and showed them to friends of his who edited fashion magazines, and they began to feature Thai silk in some of their designs.

Thompson’s big break came when “The King and I” was first a hit on Broadway and then made into a movie. All of Yul Brynner’s elaborate costumes were made of “Jim Thompson silk,” and the former architect/former spy now had a third career: fabric merchant. As his wealth increased, he bought six houses (four from Ayutthaya, the former capital of Siam/Thailand, and two from the Muslim community of weavers just across the river in Bangkok who wove his cloth) and joined them together into an East-meets-West mansion on the banks of one of the klongs (canals) of the Chao Phraya River.

All was well and good until Thompson took a vacation to the Cameron Highlands of Malaysia in 1967. Then, on March 26, he went out for a short walk … and was never seen again. The cause of his disappearance (and presumed death) remains a mystery. Some say he was kidnapped and then murdered, a random victim of a random crime. Others say he was still doing espionage work and was investigating something to do with the war in Vietnam, causing himself to be killed by an enemy agent.

And that, you have to admit, is a far more mysterious ending than that of the author Jim Thompson who simply died of a stroke at the age of 70 in 1977 after a lifetime of alcoholism.

The architect/spy/fabric exporter Jim Thompson, on the other hand, had filled him home with Thai art, such as this rare wooden Buddha (most Thai Buddhas are bronze)

and this sandstone Buddha.

He also collected ceramic works, like these pots that have no lid:

They are actually filled through a hole at the bottom.

Like the Confucius Cup in Hoi An, it's the level of the liquid itself that keeps it from running back out through the bottom. The claim is that, without a lid, the contents don’t oxidize as quickly and thus remain fresher longer.

Thompson’s dining room table consisted of two Chinese gaming tables set side by side.

His living room is open and spacious, looking like the perfect place to relax and read a novel by the other Jim Thompson.

His bedroom is set off from the rest of the house by a set of doors that once led into a pawnbroker’s shop.

In his bedroom are two horoscopes. The one on the left is his birth horoscope. The one on the right is (reportedly) a prediction that something sinister would occur when he was 61 years old. He was born in 1906 and disappeared in 1967, so …

His bedroom was simple and elegant.

Traditional Thai houses are built on stilts to protect the furnishings from flooding. Today the area beneath the house, which would have been plain in Thompson’s time, is decorated for visitors like me.

At the end of the tour, Rich suggested that we get sandwiches in the Jim Thompson Cafe. There were four sandwiches on the menu, and I ordered the ham and cheese. Unfortunately, the cafe was out of everything except tuna salad, so Rich said, “How about a tuna salad sandwich?”

You would think that, with all the plays I acted in earlier in my life, I could better conceal my emotions. But frankly, my face is often a dead giveaway for whatever I’m thinking even when I believe I’m being perfectly composed. So, less than a second after asking this question, Rich said, “Okay. We can find another place.”

Apparently, Rich can be spontaneous, too.

Past 60h have been wild. 2 flights. 12h overnight stay at the airport. Cancellation of the third about 2 hours before it happened. Having to rebook the third for the next day. At this point i was up for about 34h. Getting hotel provided by the airline. Learning that check-in doesn't start for another 8 hours. Figuring out what happened to my bags. Having to rebook my manual connection. Saying fuck it and going to the hotel anyway where they fortunately let me check in. Nap. Check in for my rebooked flight. Turns out the system doesn't let me book with my 2 bags without paying a fee (which i shouldn't cause I'm in premium economy). Call Air Canada again. Fall asleep for over an hour while waiting in the queue. Wake up STILL IN QUEUE. Someone picks up 30 minutes later. Sort the bags thing out. All this while there's a fuckign STORM AND TORNADO WEATHER ADVISORY HAPPENING. Finally go to sleep. Wake up early, get some fresh clothes, grab nice breakfast. And now I'm in my room for probably another 2 hours after which I'll try to get to YUL and check in again.

Hi yeri, happy easter and trans visibility day! What animals do the ros like the most, and what would they keep as a pet?

hi! happy easter and trans visibility day to you too!

jinwol loves small and fluffy creatures. basically anything you could conceivably hold in your arms/hands and has fur/feathers he'd get starry-eyed over. i've mentioned this before, but unfortunately they all seem to hate his guts and turn tail and run whenever he approaches, so no pets for him!

yul likes fish the most! they especially like looking at the sparkly ones (￣︶￣) they think scales and fins are quite fascinating, and could watch them for hours. i think they'd have a tendency to treat any fish they kept as a pet as more of a decoration than an actual pet though so i wouldn't actually suggest them keeping any hdfjsjsj

iseul likes birds! she thinks they're incredible companions with lots of personality, and to her, they're the type of animal you can learn a lot from. she actually kept one when she was quite a bit younger, and she'd used to try and run after it whenever it took flight. (and then fall flat on her face because she'd be running while staring straight up at the sky and inevitably trip.)

??? doesn't really have a strong preference for animals (perhaps chicken? but that's only because they like eating them HAHAHA) but they're the type of pet parent to be like "don't get a cat" and a week later you find them asleep with the cat curled up on their stomach.

Rime of the Icemaiden

The Wolves of Winter

Day 11

The company makes a parting batch of cauldron of plenty stew, feeding Easthaven one last time before departing for Good Mead, where they prepare and distribute the day's second serving.

In its middle, a group of townsfolk return at a run from the direction of Dougan's Hole, reporting they've been chased by the pair of winter wolves holding the other community hostage. Worse, the townsfolk lost the shipment of mead intended for Dougan's Hole during their flight to safety!

After the serving, the company hurries on toward Dougan's Hole, promising to return as quickly as possible. Just shy of the community they encounter the winter wolves, themselves, and kill the monsters in pitched battle!

Dougan's Hole is in desperate need when they arrive, having been entirely isolated by the wolves for a month and more. With only fifty residents, the company makes who successive batches of stew in the cauldron of plenty, giving the community enough to feed everyone at once plus a few days' rations, as well.

A leatherworker in the village offers to turns the winter wolves' pelts in boots and a cloak to thank the heroes -- but their work isn't done yet. The wolves were only the minions of a front giantess living up in the foothills . Sooner or later, Garagai's going to figure out her pets are dead, and when she does she'll come down on Dougan's Hole with a vengeance!

Day 12

The company makes its way into the upper foothills, locating the lodge of the giantess Goragai. From its frozen chambers they liberate the few surviving captured townsfolk and kill the giantess. Yule recovers thrym from the remorhaz bore hole. The company also recovers the missing mead shipment.

Returning survivors to Dougan's Hole earns the company status as local heroes, the leatherworker promising to deliver the boots and cloak when finished in a few day's time. Another batch from the cauldron of plenty provides everyone with a hot meal plus a little more to sustain them in the days to come.

Day 13

The company returns to Good Mead, offering a meal when they arrive. Insofar as Speaker Kendrick Rielsbarrow has passed away, a cask maker named Olivessa Untapoor steps forth thank them for recovering the lost mead, and seeing Dougan's Hole's payment safely back.

The community has little to offer in the way of reward, so offers use of the departed Speaker's house for their stay in the community. Old Kendrick Rielsborrow was something of an adventurer, back in his day, so may have some treasure in the place the company's welcome to claim as payment.

In fact, Myranda and Romyn remember Kendrick Rielsborrow from years ago, when they were child; a one-time friend of Sir Julys although to pair had a falling out and refused to associate with one another again. Rielsborrow eventually retired to Good Mead, where Sir July hoped he'd drink himself to death.

While Mryanda, Horga, and Aloysius make their way to the house, reviving its light and fires, Romyn offers to stand vigil for the late Speaker, whose body is being kept in the Shrine of Flaming Sword until funeral arrangements are completed. Yule offers to accompany him, sharing the vigil in place of a squire.

Treasure: From Rielsborrow's estate, the company recovers -- 75 gp worth of adamantium ore, 328 gp, 72 s, 3 gemstones worth 10 gp each, a pearl of power (Myranda), ring of warmth (Aloysius), and an orc stone.

In the depths of the night's vigil, Romyn falls into a trance-like state wherein he discovers the answer that has long eluded him -- Devotion or Vengeance. The god of war himself appears to the burgeoning paladin, reminding that conflict undertaken for person gain is evil, while that done for the sake of others is not. Thousands have died for the vanity of one goddess, and that alone warrants righteous vengeance!

Treasure: Romyn swears the Oath of Vengeance before this vision of the war god, and wakens to find his longsword transformed into a flame tongue.

Meanwhile, Yule slips into a doze of his own and dreams of the same white radiance that filled the Termalaine workshop after the explosion. That time, he thought the elven woman before him was the spirit of his mother, come to lead him on to the afterlife, but this time the warlock knows better. This is the pact mistress who spared his life, reaching beyond Rime once again and further empower her her champion.

Treasure: Yule completed the Pact of the Chain, receiving a snowy owl as his new familiar. Additionally, his "gem of brilliance" is transformed into the rod of the pact keeper +1

North Korea tests missile with range long enough to strike US

North Korea claimed to have successfully test-fired its new Hwasong-19 intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), according to Korean media.

Hwasong-19 reached an altitude of 7,687.5 kilometres (4,776.8 miles) and flew 1,001.2 kilometres in 5,156 seconds, or 85 minutes and 56 seconds. The missile set a record for both altitude and flight time among North Korea’s intercontinental ballistic missile tests.

Estimates show that Hwasong-19 can reach a distance of more than 15,000 kilometres when launched on a standard trajectory. This is enough to target the entire US mainland.

The test was conducted at around 7:10 a.m. Thursday in Pyongyang on an elevated trajectory. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un expressed “great satisfaction” with the missile’s performance. North Korean media emphasised the Hwasong-19 as “the primary core means in defending the DPRK, thoroughly containing the enemies’ acts of aggression and reliably protecting national security.”

Meanwhile, South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yul, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Japanese Foreign Minister Iwaya Takeshi discussed the launch in a phone call and issued a joint statement that “strongly condemned” the launch. In a statement issued Thursday, the three countries called the missile test a “flagrant violation of multiple UN Security Council resolutions.”
