Not me running on liquid courage again. 💀🥂

I mean we all know canon toji is an asshole ❤️, but domestic?!?! It just makes you wanna bash a keyboard 😗 like how can you not! It's so fucking frustrating! He IS beautiful indeed its frustrating!

🥺🥺🤧 ahh this response! I know I said thank you already but like 🥺 thank you. I'm happy you found a healthy outlet. It takes a lot to acknowledge when you're not feeling well AND to doing something positive about it, so virtual hug 🤧 bring it in 🫂!

I wish school systems would actually give a fuck and do a better job preparing students for uni (dont we all). Everyone has a different situation but uni will always be there. I mean they want your money loans, right?? Take all the time you need while you're in uni. This is just my experience, but I feel like this is really only one time where you'll have a chance to work on your adult life before it becomes an expectation.

I just miss being a student for leeway at work. 0h and bc I like learning.

Omg I feel you on a personal level. Taking a 18 hour semester and a +50hr job for WHAT!!! In the end, I changed my major when I had 3 more classes until I graduated, so i graduated in 6 years 🙃.

Truly, please be kind to yourself. We only have 1 fucking day in the week to not think about work. I'm channeling my spirit energy to you. I wish you the best! Please take care and stay safe.

(Sorry for any typos)

omg hey!!! howre u!! sorry it took a while for me to respond ahdjwjs

no no bc that’s exactly me!! canon toji was so much of an asshole that i had a hard time writing him being soft and domestic and kind (ie: my first established fic was toji leaving the reader for mamaguro bc ik that man would choose her in any universe </33) but then i was like fuck canon. i want toji who’s in love w the reader; toji who cares for the reader; toji who’s moved on and healed from mamaguro and loving the reader for them and not as mamaguro’s replacement!!!! (most of my fics tend to follow this au)

i remember when i was drafting one of my first fluff fics (not headcanon or drabble), one of my besties told me, “ur projecting.” like maam, do u think i dont know 😭 but yea i wrote my soft toji whose scarred lips are gentle when they kiss the reader because toji is so pretty, we need him being happy with reader!!!!

thank u so much for the hug!! ive been having severe bad weeks and i needed this <3333 hugs you tight too 😚

and absolutely!! my school did ok in preparing us for post-secondary; college did amazing in helping me transition from high school setting and into post-secondary setting; but fuck. uni is a whole different level. can’t catch a break fr like AHHSHSHH

but yes thank u so much for the advice!!! i can absolutely see what u mean. like rn, even if i have work and back-to-back lectures, i still have the opportunities to ask for time-offs to prepare for my midterms and finals and papers which has helped me greatly! the life experience is helping me lots while giving me some form of coddling and ik this wouldnt really last into (greater) adulthood so that kinda sucks :((

and omg u switching majors is nerve-wracking but amazing at the same time!! ik sm of my friends who just suck up with their majors even if theyre fr struggling so im glad that u were able to pursue something more your style. im sorry it took long for u to grad though but still!!! im so happy for uu!!!

and i will be kind to myself, i promiseee!! ive been doing better these past few days and hoping to have more kind days moving forward!

thank you again for this kind mssge! ur words and kindness truly means a lot to me. take care darling, and have a happy and safe drinking 🥹🫶🏼

“I don’t wanna take my lips off you all night.  Honestly, I’ll tell you what I want We can call a designated driver. Let’s sit in the back seat together, hold hands and go to space. We can leave together. Feels like heaven fell on earth.  I want to buy some shares in your pretty heart. Are you dizzy? Should I go next to you?  Come close. I’m so happy, I haven’t been this nervous in a while! When the car turns left, my body goes toward you too. When it turns right, your body comes toward me. Naturally, we check our feelings about each other.  The wheels don’t rest, skrr skrr”

I'm usually a silent reader (trying to work on it) but *snap* *snap* *snap* this blog...I am in love with it. I totally didn't stay up reading all your toji posts 🙃. Like why do people sleep on domestic toji? That shit makes my heart swell. Who wouldn't want a beefy giant that's also a protective loving tsundere giant (not me about to cry in lonely). Long story short, your fics/hc/drabbles are what I look forward to. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into your posts.

Also, please don't stress yourself. I graduated uni after too damn long and I understand the stress of being a student and trying to balance life. From one heart to another, thank you for the DELECTABLE stories. Sorry for any typos, I'm running on liquid courage. 🫠 (safely tho)

Stay safe and always put your health & life first. ✨️🍊

this is so sweet what 😭 literally ugly sobbing right now

im so so glad that you enjoyed my works!!! theyre all little pieces of me (happiness, lovesickness, worries, anxiousness — just parts of me that carry over when i write and post) so whenever i see interactions and comments and messages like these, it fills me with so much happiness!

thank you for reading my works. thank you for leaving this message. thank you for enjoying them! thank you!!

and toji in domesticity is the best thing ever!! we’ve seen him gruff and fight, now i wanna see him settle down and love. he just makes me AHDHJEDH yk? like hes so beautiful and when he loves (read: mamaguro), it’s also beautiful so like???? i want that 😭

no because uni’s so tough, im about to melt on the floor. genuinely thought i could do it but balancing everything is clearly not for me. it’s not like i can even drop my work bc i like working there and the pay is so good and my coworkers are nice, but i also dont wanna reduce my courses because i wanna graduate early, and them the weekends could only give you so little so it’s all making me just QHHHSH yk???

thank you again for this message and for dropping by! take care and stay safe!! (also this is so funny bc i remember drinking when you sent this message last year! we were basically virtual drinking buddies!!) but yes, stay safe and drink in moderation and take care ^3^

[neonacity]

𝐊𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐑 𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆

𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝟏𝟒: Kudos, Golden Trio

𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆! This chapter includes:

Injury/Blood

Foul Language (This most out of all the chapters)

Most Likely Incorrect Terms for Driving (I can’t drive yet)

𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐒 𝐒𝐘𝐍𝐎𝐏𝐒𝐈𝐒 : “You came here to assist your boss at a party he’s invited to, not to solve a murder with a group of strangers you’ve just met. Yet here you are, staring at the dead mansion owner who hosted the party in the first place, surrounded by eight men with high statuses in society: and one of them is a murderer. The question is who? And can you solve the mystery without being killed yourself?”

Visit the masterlist first before proceeding. It has all the info you need to read this series.

“Fuck you!” You shout at the killer before hurling one of your shoes right at the car’s window. To your utter disbelief, it somehow works, and the shattered glass falls all over the driver’s seat. You and Jeongin rush to enter the car through the window, Hyunjin trailing behind a split second later after figuring out what you two were attempting to do.

Hyunjin lets out a yelp once he realizes his jacket has been slashed by a throwing knife, but he’s quick to pick up the knife from the dirt and continue running. By the time he’s dived through the small hole, you and Jeongin are in the back seat, your exposed legs getting scratched with tiny shards of glass as you attempt to wipe them away from your seat. Your side of the car, however, is the one closest to the killer, which worries you greatly.

“FUCK! We need the key to start this thing!” Hyunjin exclaims in fury, clearing panicking as much as you two are. “WATCH OUT-”

Crash. The front window falls apart right in front of your eyes, and you could barely cover them in time for the glass to explode all around you. The three of you duck away from the windows from that point on, you in particular trying to stay in the middle of the seats. You whine with desperation. If the three of you bail on this plan, you lose your head start and will likely all get hit by Minho. It’s practically a lose-lose situation, and there’s nothing you can do about it.

“Not a very smart plan, huh?” Minho grins as he prances over to the car, his eyes targeting Hyunjin. Jeongin starts to hyperventilate, realizing how terrible of a mistake this was. He hides his face with his hands and stays in the corner, mumbling jumbles of words.

“I’m sorry, I’m so, so, sorry-”

“THE KEY!” You scream out, your eyes lighting up when you remember one crucial part of your search. “The one that we deemed useless, try that one!”

Hyunjin’s mouth forms an “o” shape as he scrambles to fish out the key from his pocket. He grips the key and inserts it into the hole, twisting his wrist.

The engine revs up, and you almost let yourself relax and let out a sigh of relief.

And then you remembered: Oh, the killer’s still there.

“DRIVE!” You yell at Hyunjin’s ear, and he hits the pedal immediately, turning the car around so it’s now facing the opened gate. The car lets out a screeching noise as Hyunjin accelerates the car’s speed, speeding his way out of the mansion’s fenced off area.

Minho’s tricks don’t stop there, however, as he manages to break the other side of the car’s windows. The side Jeongin happens to be on. More glass comes tumbling into the vehicle, pouring onto Jeongin’s head.

“I-” Jeongin cups his right eye with his hands. “I can’t see! Fuck, the glass!”

You turn to look at the window behind you, which is somehow still intact. Locking eyes with Minho, who continues to run faster and faster, you gulp nervously. “Drive, Hyunjin! Faster!”

Hyunjin grinds his teeth at your demand. “I’m trying, Y/N!” He grips the steering wheel tighter, determination filling him. “We’re almost there, we’ll be okay!” The car makes its way to the turn Minho was referring to earlier, and your hands start trembling with anticipation. You turn to look at Jeongin, but the sight makes you wince with pity. Blood is dripping down the hand holding his injured eye, his other eye letting out tears instead of blood, and you rub his shoulder to comfort him. Hopefully, at the end of all of this, Hyunjin can treat both your hand and Jeongin’s eye.

“YES!” Hyujin shouts, pumping a fist in the air, as the car zooms past the goal Minho set for the three of you. He continues to drive while you look back to find Minho, only to see him walking back to the mansion without a final, single glance at you. The car eventually stops to your dismay with Hyunjin needing to hit the brakes, and his eyes furrow together, opening the car door to inspect the vehicle.

When he returns, he lets out a sigh. “Looks like he damaged a tire, must’ve been his last attempt to stop us.”

You nod in agreement while Jeongin catches his breath, processing what just happened. “The worst night of my life,” Jeongin lets out, his head falling back onto the seat.

“I second that, but unfortunately, we’re a bit screwed.” Hyunjin’s comment gives you an unsettling feeling in your stomach.

“And.. Why is that?” you muster the courage to ask him.

“Look at the mansion,” he nods his head in the direction of the house. You and Jeongin turn your heads simultaneously to get a look at it.

It’s a raging fire by now, escaping through the windows upstairs. Jeongin gasps, and you let out a curse from under your breath.

“We’ll definitely go to prison for that...” you realize, but you don’t have enough energy to freak out over it right now. “Well, if we go to the police right now, we’ll basically be turning ourselves in.” 

The three of you sit in silence for a while. You didn’t expect this reaction when you fantasized about all three of you managing to escape; instead you expected celebrating and smiles on everybody’s faces.

“Do you two want to…” Hyunjin starts to suggest. “Stay at my place for a while and hide there?”

“Yeah,” Jeongin timidly responds, earning a pleased hum from Hyunjin. “Sounds good. Okay, we can do that.” The tiniest smile forms on all three of your faces, nodding at each other in content.

“We escaped… we did what we wanted to do all along…” You start quietly speaking.

The images of the five other innocent members coughing in the flames and their bodies burning, along with Minho staring at the mansion proudly sets you ablaze. You finally let your tears fall, letting out a sad grin and looking down at the hand with the knife right through it.

“But at what cost?”

~

ENDING ACHIEVED: “At What Cost?” (SUCCESS?)

This ending is achieved by escaping the mansion with all your alliance members, but leaving the rest of the group behind with an unknown fate, along with letting the Killer King run free.

~

Congratulations. Technically, you didn’t die, so you were able to escape the mansion. With that being said, however, I’ll have to let the author out of her room, and let her get back to her blog. She’ll be answering asks sent after this chapter is posted.

Thank you for the fun October! Maybe next year I’ll return?

Kudos, players. The Killer King spared you today.

[ PLEASE TAKE ONE FINAL SURVEY TO WRAP UP THIS SERIES. ]

(best name of last chapter: “Fuck u Minho I knew u werent cool enough to dab (uwu)”)

WHAT’S NEXT?

Sometime these next few days, I’ll release a post explaining as many clues and red herrings in this series as possible, so be on the lookout for that!

Other than that though, the blog will actually be completely revamped (new theme!), and from November 1st to November 14th, I will be taking a break from posting my writing! (I need it very badly, I’ve been driving myself insane by writing 1k+ words every other night in 2-3 hours)

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading this series! I hope you all had a good October <3

𝐊𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐑 𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆

𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝟏𝟎: Saw Something You Shouldn’t Have Seen

𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆! This chapter includes:

Foul Language

Possible Errors

𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐒 𝐒𝐘𝐍𝐎𝐏𝐒𝐈𝐒 : “You came here to assist your boss at a party he’s invited to, not to solve a murder with a group of strangers you’ve just met. Yet here you are, staring at the dead mansion owner who hosted the party in the first place, surrounded by nine men with high statuses in society: and one of them is a murderer. The question is who? And can you solve the mystery without being killed yourself?”

Visit the masterlist first before proceeding. It has all the info you need to read this series.

“Can I talk to Felix, please?” You slide your head through the crack of the door opening, Felix and Seungmin turning their heads simultaneously in surprise. They look at each other, and Seungmin gives Felix a nod.

“Sure thing,” Seungmin gives you permission to, yet the stare he’s holding in his eyes says otherwise. Felix swiftly stands up from his seat against the office’s desk, and walks out of the room, making sure to gently close the door behind you. You lead him outside of the library and into the kitchen, where Hyunjin and Jeongin are patiently waiting for the two of you.

Felix exchanges looks with the two men, hands in his pockets, before asking you, “Why did you call me over?”

Hyunjin clears his throat at the question, pulling out the key he found prior from the inside of his coat. “So, uh, we found something on the mansion owner-”

“On the mansion owner?” Felix cuts him off, taking the key from Hyunjin’s palm to inspect it. “But that doesn’t explain how Minho didn’t find it on him hours ago.”

“Exactly! But the point here is that we have a key, and this key works on something in this house,” Jeongin points at the key while stating the idea all three of you share.

Wanting to explain further, and to possibly even answer Felix’s questions, you elaborate, “We already tried the front door, but it’s too loud, so we didn’t want to risk it. Have you seen any other locks in this house that we could use this key for?”

Felix sighs, glancing at all of your faces before shrugging. “Look, you three. I’ve only been in this mansion for five hours, it’s not like I’ve memorized where every single lock is. You could try the backyard but- Wait, why are you guys interested in this key anyways? Are you seriously trying to escape?” He catches on quickly to your plan, forcing you to hold in the gasp that was about to escape your throat.

This was a mistake.

“Does- Does it matter to you what we plan to do with this key? We’re just wondering what it’s for, that’s all,” Hyunjin stutters out, causing Felix to think about your true intentions about this key. He closes his hand on the key before opening it once again, contemplating whether he should trust the three of you or not.

“I’m not sure if I believe you, but I’ll let you off the hook on this one,” Felix reassures you three after giving it much thought. “Let me know if the key does have any important significance to finding the killer, though.” He places the key back into Hyunjin’s hands without a second thought. “I have to go back to Seungmin now, see you.” Felix waves you three off before any of you get the chance to argue against him, entering the library to go back to the mansion owner’s office, where Seungmin awaits his return.

As soon as Felix’s footsteps can’t be heard anymore, Jeongin is quick to scurry over to the door leading to the backyard and points to the lock on it. “Try the key here!” Hyunjin’s eyes widen at Jeongin’s lightning fast pace and pull the key out of his hand, inserting it into the hole. You also walk over to the door to get a closer look.

Hyunjin jingles the key inside of the lock, but he has no luck with it. “It’s not working.” He groans, setting the key on the nearest counter in frustration.

“Are you kidding me? Does this key even do anything at all?” Jeongin throws his hands up into the air, a heated look on his face, and you don’t feel any different from the two boys.

“We might have to give up on this key for now, we wasted time because Felix didn’t give us any info!” you let out a cry.

“You’re the one who suggested it!” Hyunjin snaps unexpectedly, approaching you.

“Well I didn’t know that that would happen!” You retort, shrugging with your hands in annoyance.

“Guys, please stop fighting,” Jeongin calmly steps in between the two of you, but you notice the shaking in his hands. “Maybe we could, uh, search the library?”

“The problem with searching the library is the fact that Felix and Seungmin are next door, they might hear us and become suspicious,” you debate against Jeongin’s idea.

“Then should we go upstairs?” Jeongin continues to suggest ideas like rapidfire.

Hyunjin stares at Jeongin like he’s insane. “But that area is filled with people!”

“It’s our only option at this point, though,” you start to see Jeongin’s intentions on going upstairs. “Felix is already kind of suspicious of our behavior, if we ever have a house meeting soon, he might call us out on it despite our-”

“Let’s go upstairs then,” Jeongin catches the two of you off guard, pulling you both by the wrist to the staircase in the living room. He releases his grip to put a finger over his mouth, shushing the both of you. “Stay quiet in case one of them is near the stairs.” With that in mind, your group tiptoes up the stairs, making sure that none of you step on any creeks on the wooden steps.

By the time you make it to the top, you hear distant humming coming from one of the rooms. Jeongin, who’s in front of you, takes the plunge and starts searching the room next to the staircase. Letting out a silent gasp, he urges you and Hyunjin to come closer.

The back of Jisung’s head can be seen through the bedroom door’s crack as he opens and closes drawers and cabinets, tossing out junk from them. He crouches down, still humming the tune that he most likely made up on the spot, and turns around to check under the bed. Jeongin and Hyunjin fly away from the door to not be seen by the unsuspicious man, but you stay in place.

From the corner of his exposed pocket, you can barely manage to see an object sticking out of it. A rusty, golden color, with a long stick and some metal sticking out to the side-

“Holy shit…” you let out a curse before you’re able to cover your mouth, pulling the two men back down the staircase so Jisung can’t hear what you’re about to say.

“A key. There’s a key in his pocket.” Jeongin gasps at your recallment, and Hyunjin’s jaw is wide open in astonishment.

“What if Minho did find the key, but gave it to Jisung instead of holding onto it?” Jeongin realizes the possibility of Minho and Jisung working together to prevent anybody from escaping the mansion.

“Then that might actually be a useful key!” Hyunjin beams in a whispered voice.

“Let’s try and snatch it, it’s our best shot at this point, unlike this useless key…” you suggest, and to your utter surprise, they both agree immediately.

“Well,” you start speaking of the plan that’s slowly forming in your head by the second. “We’re more likely to fail if somebody’s not distracting Jisung. I’d say somebody go talk to Jisung, and then another person will take the key. The person not involved in the plan should just wait by the stairs, out of Jisung’s view if Jisung ever looks behind himself.”

“Then who’s going to do that?” Hyunjin asks you with curiosity, and his question makes you suck in a sharp breath. That’s the one part you haven’t thought about yet… what now?

WHO WILL DO WHAT?

~

It’s time for our first limited voting box. What does that mean? Well…

Limited voting boxes occur when you have to make a decision in the story in a split second. They’re open for a shorter amount of time, open up at a random time, and only allow up to a certain amount of votes. There will be an announcement when the voting box officially opens, as it won’t open right when the chapter is posted.

However, this first voting box will be slightly different. This chapter, there are two decisions to make. The first one is who will distract Jisung, and the second is who will try and take the key from his pocket. Instead of the usual 3 votes maximum for a normal limited voting box, there will be 4 votes for each decision. That means, for this limited voting box, votes 1, 2, 3, and 4 will choose the first decision, and votes 5, 6, 7, and 8 will choose the second decision.

Confused? Just vote when the voting box is open, and we’ll see if your vote is counted.

It’s a race against the clock. A race against your fellow players. Who will come out on top, and who will be the deciding vote? That depends on how and if you choose to work together.

Good luck, players. May the Killer King spare you today.
