was kinda thinking about this when I saw Renee Rapp live recently-- I didn't know her visual vibe, I'd heard a few songs here and there but I hadn't really *seen* her, and her attire at Osheaga was really casual, a jersey (baseball/basketball?) and slacks. And that was so amazing! I couldn't help thinking, the work Billie Eilish has done for how women in pop music are allowed to dress is incredible. Seeing her up there all comfortable you just know that Billie walked in her oversized tops so that Renee in her slacks could run; Billie walked through all the critcisms about how she dressed slobbily and having to assert that she didn't owe anyone a display of skin, so that Renee could be comfortable and unquestioned running up and down the catwalk in front of 10,000 people. How iconic.
And I don't think we even realised at the time how much something as simple as letting Billie dress the way she as a (then-) 17-year-old teenager dressed, could end up meaning for a future generation of women in music.
Obviously there is still way to go, there were weirdos complaining about how 'plain' Dua Lipa's Glastonbury outfit was this year (in 2024!!), l have to ask, are you at Paris Fashion Week?? She is the musical HEADLINER of an entire day of music at one of the biggest music festivals in the world, and you can't grant her the space to exist as an artist, you have to moan about her dress not being excitingly revealing enough. There's work to do, it's still dismal out there. But the space Billie Eilish has created for a most ordinarily-dressed woman popstar is still heartening.
#music#rambling away; I'll log off#man. I remember how on the other hand when I was going to my first ever gig my guitar teacher said to me#notice how plainly he's dressed? No frills. His music speaks for himself.#(The musician in question was Slash and apart from his very recognisable hat and sunglasses; he was wearing a plain white t-shirt with a#minnie mouse graphic print in the centre. I think sometimes about how not even women in rock music are afforded that.#Like this is a thing across genres#With the exception of Franz Ferdinand for whom Alex has actually said in interviews that they treated FF gigs as nights out#and so dressed like they'd be dressed for a club night out--#most other guy bands are like *picked a tee off the floor*#whereas the girls in bands I've seen-- even literally just local musicians-- the girls in our local rock bands feel compelled to#dress like it's graduation day#Like we had this really cool local band-- singer's a girl in second year of uni#keeping up with the fact that they were playing like RHCP and Muse covers on stage; fast stuff--#she was up there in a delicate dress and heels and stomping across stage n all#and the rest of her band; dudes; were quite comfortable in their t-shirts#like of course she made a choice herself and was more than capable of stomping in heels--I mean I've seen Phoebe from Lambrini Girls#JUMP OFF a 5-ft platform stage while wearing 3-inch block heels. And in a party dress!#But then again Lambrini Girls genuinely are freaks of nature and I envy anyone who's going to see them open for Amyl & the Sniffers rn#bc that's an EXPLOSIVE combo. Nonetheless. I was saying.#Part of it certainly comes from a normalisation of just superhuman strength; balance + praying there's no malfunction with your skirt#which DOES happen at rock shows more frequently than you'd imagine. It's just if you're in a good crowd they'll pretend they saw nothing#but it's certainly more practical to gig in sneakers and trousers lol. From experience!#billie eilish#renee rapp#women in music#pop music#dua lipa

“Run In: Fate” - Part 9 (Finale)
Genre: Angst, Smut, and Fluff
Warning: Graphic Scenes- Mentions torture, killing, and death.
Word Count: 15.5K
A/N: First I would like to apologize for posting this so late (I’m like weeks past my deadline!). I hoped you all enjoyed this series all the way up until now and please don’t feel afraid to reach out to me about your thoughts as well as questions you have about this chapter or the series in general. Shit! I wasn’t sad before but now that I’m typing all this out, I lowkey feel a sense of sadness. Yoongi’s character in this series was fun to work with and now that it’s over, I gotta find a new series that he can fit into. The next is Namjoon!^^
“Yoongi...”
His eyes fluttered in his sleep.
“Do it again.”
Searing pain and screaming was all that filled his mind. He turned his head hoping to lose the distance memory.
“Again.”
He shifted uncomfortably.
“AND AGAIN!”
His body tensed, clutching the sheets as he shifted once more.
“Yoongi...”
When he opened his eyes, he was back in the hands of his tormentors; staring the main one in the eyes.
“Welcome back. I’m glad to see you’ve come to your senses; wouldn’t want you to miss anything.” Sujin teased with a smirk on her lips. “Now that you’re up, why don’t we begin again?”
She stepped away and watched as her men twisted the levers of the machine to stretch his arms high in the air to showcase his bare torso. Another man took a sledgehammer; slowly walking towards Yoongi and raised it in the air, bringing the solid tool down against his chest. Yoongi yelled out against the impact, trying to flex his muscles to feel less of the oncoming blows. Over and over, he was hit until he felt one of his ribs break; causing him to scream in agony.
“There it goes!” Sujin yelled in joy. Yoongi’s head hung low as he coughed up blood. His breathing instantly became shallow as it was a struggle to breathe without feeling pain. “Nice job, Yoongi. I’m very pleased. How about we try that again?”
And again he screamed at the feeling of pain hitting his chest until his bones broke under pressure. One rib, two, three... 
Yoongi was barely breathing as Sujin stared him in the face. She watched the blood drip from his mouth, down his chin, and fall unto the ground. His hair and face dripped with perspiration and his body trembled with every breath. Easing closer to him, Sujin fell to her knees between his legs. Already, she could see his skin was beginning to change color. She brought her face close to his body to examine it.
“Oh, Yoongi,” She softly spoke to him. Her eyes closed as she leaned forward to kiss his tender flesh. Yoongi grunted, tensing at the feeling of her lips brushing against his battered chest. “Look at you... you’ve never looked more attractive than you do now.”
When he didn’t respond, she stood to her feet. “Who would have thought I’d have the powerful mobster so submissive in front of me.” She chuckled seductively. “I have to admit, it’s turning me on more than ever.”
Sujin motioned for her men to release him from the contraption, only to tie him up to another. Yoongi’s legs and arms were bound and his body levitated above ground by a couple inches. She broke open a bottle of amyl nitrate and held it under his nose.
Yoongi instantly became alert and although the drug relieved the pain in his chest, unfortunately; he was awake and oriented for the next part of his torture.
“Frankie use to brag about how concentrated you was when you worked, especially when you tortured your victims. In vivid detail, I knew what you did and how you did it.” She said with a smile. “And now I’m proud to say how I’ve adopted one of your methods and added a little bit of something of my own.”
She nodded to one of her men who stood behind Yoongi with a large knife. Seconds later, he felt the blade pierce his skin as the tip cut a deep line across his back. In quick motions, the blade marred his body repeatedly; leaving Yoongi to grunt in pain at the wounds. He could feel trails of blood dripped from each cut and soak into his pants.
“Now... the fun part.” Sujin stated, watching Yoongi’s face closely. Another one of her men stood along side of the other with a small container in his hand. Before Yoongi had time to brace himself, extreme pain filled his body as he yelled out. “They say that salt is good for a wound but not when it’s used like this.”
Once again, the man poured a handful of salt into his palm before slapping it onto another gash and rubbing it in. Yoongi thrashed around until the pain subsided and he became weak. Even though the man had stopped, it left an aching; burning sensation along the lesions. It felt as though his skin was peeling off. Each laceration were red with irritation and covered with a layer of salt.
“Please give me the pleasure of destroying your life, Yoongi.” Sujin said as she walked closer, examining him. She grabbed him by the face and made him look at her. “Grant me the pleasure of taking away everything you cherish and love.”
At the motion of her movements, one of her men delivered one final deep slash to his back.
Yoongi leaped up from his slumber, sitting up in bed. The sky was still dark but it was in early hours of the morning. The room was dark but he was able to make out everything inside. You were asleep, resting peacefully on your side. His sudden movements, somehow, did not interrupt your dream state. His hand rub over his back, he could almost feel the pain from when it happened.
He pulled the covers back and gotten out of bed, leaving you alone in the room. Yoongi walked downstairs with his phone in hand for use.
“Mmph.. Hello?” A sleepy voice answered on the second ring. But when Yoongi didn’t respond, Namjoon answered again. “Hello?”
“Yeah, I’m here.”
“What’s going? Is everything okay?”
Yoongi was silent as he tried to get his thoughts together. “It is now that I know you’re okay.”
“What do you mean?” Namjoon was now up and alert at the tone of his friend’s voice. Something was wrong.
He sighed. “I dreamt of my captivity for the first time since it happened. I can’t explain why but I can’t shake the feeling that something bad has happened or will happen.”
Namjoon felt bad. Yoongi never really opened up about happened to him while he was locked away and he hated that it still haunted him. 
“Well if it makes you feel any better, I’m okay.” He tried to joke it neither one of them laughed. “And I’m sure Hoseok is too.”
“I’m sure I’m just wasting my time but I’m going to call him anyway.” Yoongi paused for a second. “Jimin too.”
“I’m sure the prince of the castle is perfectly fine with the way he keeps his home guarded.”
“... yeah. I’ll touch bases with you later.”
Yoongi hung up and dial both numbers. Neither answered but he was certain that they were both asleep, wrapped in the arms of their girlfriends; something he should have been doing as well. Glancing in the corner, he looked at all of your belongings packed at the doorway.
He let out a low sigh and headed back upstairs. When Yoongi made it inside the bedroom, he found your arm and leg thrown across his pillow; hugging it as if it was him. The sight alone made him smile as he stare down at you but then his smile vanished at the thought of what happened only a couple hours prior.
In a single day, you almost walked out on him, refused his marriage proposal, and accused him of not loving you. Even to this day, Yoongi struggled with trying to figure you out. You always left him clueless when it came to figuring out what you wanted.
Whenever he thought he understood, you reminded him that he had to think outside the box if he wanted to make you happy. You had walked away from him once before and he wasn’t going to let that happen a second time. He loved you too much to let that happen.
~~~~~
One kick.
One push...
It stopped then moments later started back up again; this time more frequently. You rolled over from your side to your back, trying to get comfortable. But even then you couldn’t; not with his constantly moving about, alerting you that he was now awake.
You were slowly pulled from your sleep at the pressure Jihyun was putting on your body. You were seconds from opening your eyes when you heard Yoongi’s voice. And with the way Jihyun was reacting, you figured Yoongi must have been talking to him. Playing along, you faked sleep and listened in on the conversation.
He sighed. “I only want what’s best for you... for both of you.” He began. “I refuse to let anyone hurt you; I would sacrifice myself repeatedly to keep you both safe.”
Yoongi softly placed his hand on your stomach and you felt Jihyun stop all movements and push against that one spot. You kept your eyes closed tight but the tears were beginning to slip out from the creases.
“You won’t understand what I’m doing until you’re older but if only I can make mommy understand now; my actions and what I’m doing now will all be beneficial for us in the end.” He scoffed. “She’s a very stubborn woman; you’ll soon witness it firsthand. She can be difficult majority of the time but she has daddy wrapped around her finger.” Yoongi shook his head, rubbing over the small bump poking out. “Thanks for listening but get some sleep before you wake her up.”
Almost on command, Jihyun had stopped moving and relaxed into a comfortable position. You turned your head, opening your eyes to look at him, taking Yoongi by surprise. His eyes opened wide with shock as you caught him off guard.
“How long have you been awake?”
“For awhile. I couldn’t help but eavesdrop on your conversation with him.” You smiled. Yoongi moved closer to you, taking your face in his hand.
“Baby, I’m sorry for making you feel as though you don’t matter. You are my world and I need you by my side, always. I refuse to lose you over something stupid like a name but it is also equally important to me that Jihyun has my name. That doesn’t mean that I care for you any less. You are just as important; if not more because you are carrying him.” His thumb wiped away tears that had fallen. “I’m sorry I didn’t make that clear from the beginning. I want you to happy and happy as my wife, taking on my name as well. Y/n, will you marry a fool like me?”
You tried to bite down your laugh at how red Yoongi’s face had gotten at his proposal. He was a master at hiding his feelings from the world but when it came to you, you had a front row view into the soul of the famous, cold, dangerous mobster known as Min Yoongi.
You nodded, letting fresh tears spill over the rims of your eyes. “Yes.”
Yoongi pulled out that small velvety box, taking out the ring and placing it on your finger. He barely had time to react when you pulled him closer to kiss his lips. He responded instantly, letting the kiss become passionate to the point when you two had come up for air, you were breathing heavy.
You smiled; cuddling your face against his neck; wanting to feel closer but one small movement you both felt had you both looking down at your belly.
“I thought you were sleep, little man.” Yoongi groaned out.
“He will go back; he just wanted his favorite person to know that he heard that.” You teased, causing him to smile too.
He kissed your lips again; softly pecking at them repeatedly. His arm that was wrapped around your chest moved so that his hand was now groping your full breasts through your shirt. Yoongi broke away to kiss down your neck.
“You know, I heard pregnant sex is equivalent to great sex.”
“Who told you that?” You laughed. “Sounds like something Namjoon would say.”
However Yoongi didn’t answer. His hand wandered to the end of the shirt and pulled it up slightly. Pushing your legs apart, he quickly found what he was looking for between them.
His middle and ring fingers rubbed along your slit while he licked and sucked on your neck. You moaned, spreading your leg wider and rotating your hips to feel more of his hand. Your head fell back at his fingers brushing over your clit. In a circular motion, Yoongi rub over the bud before letting his fingers dip back down to your entrance. You had become wet but he wanted you even wetter to take him.
He sat up and spread your legs wider, now using both hands to pleasure you. Yoongi eased two fingers inside your pussy, instantly locating your spot and massaging against it while his other fingers stroked, rubbed, and pulled at your clit. Besides his penis, Yoongi definitely knew what to do with his hands. You were practically drooling and didn’t want him to stop any time soon. In fact, you were positive within the minute, you were going to come. Yoongi must have known as well for he had stopped all movements and withdrew his hands. He didn’t want you coming so soon and without him.
“Fuck,” You groaned when he stopped. “I was so close.”
“Take this off.” He ignored you, making a request of his own.
Sitting up, you pulled Yoongi’s overly larger shirt over your head; tossing it to the floor. Yoongi moved to the head of the bed to kiss your lips before working his way down. The kiss itself wasn’t long; just a quick peck, however, you were able to lick over his soft lips when he pulled away. Yoongi only smirked, attacking your neck next but he only remained there for a few seconds. His path led down to your chest, placing a kiss between the valley of your breasts before doing the same to each of your nipples. He licked over the small nub, watching as it became harder before he switched to the other. With both of your nipples poking up into the air, Yoongi continued his journey down your body, kissing a single line along your large stomach where Jihyun slept. He was very careful as to not disturb the sleeping baby, the last thing he wanted was to wake him up and have him barge in on the situation meant for adults only.
After undressing, Yoongi rested on his knees between your legs. His fingers teased your entrance, making sure you were still wet for him. Gripping his cock in one hand, he guided it to your pussy and eased the tip inside, followed by the rest. You fit around him so perfectly like a wet warm lock with his cock as the key. You were heaven. Yoongi made love to you plenty of times and lost count to how many times he’s fucked you but it was something about making love to you at that moment in time that a strange feeling washed over him. Even if everything wasn’t okay with his life, his heart was beating faster at the thought of having sex with his soon to be wife and his son who was ready to come out at any given day. Yoongi was ready to start living for the both of you.
He held on to your hips, pulling your body close until your pussy touched his pelvis. Your hands rested on top of his, squeezing them at the pressure and fullness of his cock inside your channel. Yoongi pulled out then pushed back in, making sure you were taking every inch. You bit down hard on your bottom lip at the feeling. If he kept it up, Yoongi would soon find himself pushing pass your cervix and right into Jihyun; but he couldn’t help it. Even though you were tight, your pussy tighten around him even more the deeper he went.
Slowly but deeply, his thrusts increased and Yoongi watched as your breasts jumped from his movements. Moans slipped from your lips as you tried to hold eye contact. Something in the way Yoongi was looking at you, made your eyes water. The energy his heart was releasing was too strong and if you weren’t pregnant, you would have pulled him against you to feel it beating up close.
“I love you.” You breathed out.
Yoongi suddenly pulled out and gently rolled you on your side, positioning himself behind you. His arm wrapped around you in attempt to pull you against his chest while his hand pushed his cock back into your walls causing you to moan out. Yoongi kissed the back of your neck, whispering against your skin with each thrust his hips gave your backside.
“I love you... so fucking much, y/n... only you... only you could make me feel this way... only you have my heart.”
Like a chant, Yoongi repeated these words until you were able to say it with him. Eventually, he went silent as you took over repeating his words as he bucked his hips into you. He turned your head to face him, roughly but passionately kissing your lips. You held onto the back of his head, feeling his silky dark hair through your fingers. When Yoongi broke away, he kissed the trail of wetness your tears left when they ran down your face.
“Please Yoongi,” you moaned out. “Please love me harder.”
At your wishes, he began increasing his pace; moving his hand to grip your hip for leverage. At this angle, Yoongi was hitting your spot with ease, causing him to release grunts of pleasure at how your pussy clinched around him. Your legs opened to allow your hand to massage your clit. You were almost there that you could feel the orgasm approaching. Apparently, Yoongi could too as he took over massaging your clit, leaving you to grip the sheets for support as his cock plunged in and out of you.
“Fuck! I’m coming!” You cried out. “Shit, shit, shit! Yoongi!”
Your orgasm came crashing down, momentarily leaving your body tense and in-cohesive as Yoongi chased after his release. He came moments later, brutally jabbing his cock deep inside your pussy and unleashing his fluid.
The two of you remained locked in each other’s embrace, taking the time to calm your racing hearts. Eventually, you pulled on his other arm until it was wrapped around your side and you held onto his hand, softly placing kisses on his finger tips.
Yoongi was able to relax before his body gave away to the sleep he didn’t know he needed and soon, you followed behind him even though the blue sky was becoming lighter.
~~~
When you both awoke a couple hours later, you showered and dressed for the rest of the day. Yoongi was preparing a late lunch while you watched him, sitting at the island in the kitchen. You couldn’t help but smile every time you looked down at your finger then at the broad back of the man who took your heart. It almost felt like a dream that you didn’t want to wake up from. You were engaged. You were soon to be a married woman and not only that, a mother too.
“If you were this excited about the ring, you should’ve just accepted yesterday to wear it sooner.” He teased after turning around to see a big smile plastered over you face. You’ve been smiling nonstop for the past thirty minutes.
“Well today is different. We’ve reached a new level of understanding and that’s what makes the ring more special.”
Yoongi gave a single nod before turning his attention back to the food. It wasn’t long before his phone begun to ring. You quickly grabbed it off the countertop.
“It’s Namjoon. Do you mind if I answer it for you?”
“Knock yourself out.”
You answered, holding the phone to your ear with a sneaky smile on your face. “Hello, Namjoon. We’re going to have a talk about the amount of sex stories you share with my boyfriend.” You teased, giggling when Yoongi threw a certain look at you. But as you listened, your smile dropped and sadness quickly took over. 
“Oh my god, no!” You cried out, cupping your hand over your mouth, gaining Yoongi’s attention. He was instantly by your side, snatching the phone from your hand and putting it to his ear.
“What’s going on?”
“It’s Jimin, he’s critical condition at the hospital.” 
Yoongi’s heart dropped. He knew something was wrong; the nagging feeling just wouldn’t go away. “What the fuck happened?!” He yelled but it caused you to begging sobbing uncontrollably, covering you face, crying into your palms. Yoongi pulled you close to him, letting you cry into his chest with an arm wrapped around you.
“I don’t know, Ujin said that he found him shot and unconscious in his home. We don’t know how long he’s been that way.”
“Shit! I’m on my way. What hospital is he at?”
After getting directions, Yoongi hung up the phone; holding your head in his hands so that your attention was focused on him.
“Y/n, listen to me. I need you to go to my parent’s house until I come back to get you. I don’t want you leaving to go anywhere, do you understand?”
You shook your head. “No, I’m going to the hospital with you.”
“No, you’re not. You’re going to my parent’s.”
Hearing it, made you cry harder. “But I need to see him. I need to know that he is alive. Please Yoongi, Jimin is my friend too.”
He pulled you closer to him, kissing your forehead as you cried into his shoulder. He could feel Jihyun kicking and pushing uncontrollably against him. But no matter how hard you cried, he wasn’t going to risk your lives. Sujin was waiting on the perfect opportunity to strike; just like she did with Jimin. Yoongi knew she and Insu were behind Jimin’s attack.
“Baby, I need you to be strong for Jihyun’s sake.” He took your hand placed it on your stomach to feel how erratic his movements had become. “Your job is to protect him. Once I see what Jimin’s condition is, I’ll take you to see him but until then, you need to be strong and listen.”
You wiped your eyes and nodded, figuring Yoongi was only acting this way because of what happened to Jimin could be tied the people who kidnapped him. You agreed for the simple fact that you didn’t want to make the situation any more challenging by being defiant.
Once you had your bags packed, Yoongi drove you to his parent’s house; ordering some of his men to heavenly guard the place. No matter how restless you gotten, you weren’t allowed to leave unless he came to get you. After you were safely kept away, Yoongi headed to the hospital where he met up with his father, Jimin’s father, and Ujin.
“How is he?”
His father shook his head. “We haven’t heard anything from the doctor yet.”
“What happened?”
“Apparently someone had broken into his house and shot him in the chest. From the looks of it, whoever it was caught him off caught. He was only dressed in a bath towel.”
“It was them,” Yoongi exhaled in anger. “Oh Sujin and Kun Insu.”
“Where do we find them?” Jimin’s father asked, equally upset.
“They in hiding now but it seem they’ll only emerge to attack.”
“Cowards! I can easily handle them no problem.” He stated, rolling up his sleeves. “Just give me a gun.”
“All we have to do is separate Insu from Sujin. She is nothing without her so called muscle to protect her. However, he’s not someone who is easily defeated.”
“I’ll kill him with my bare hands! What has Jimin done to those monsters?!”
“Nothing, they’re simply killing to show how powerful they can be.” Yoongi stated.
When the doctor appeared, all four men rushed over to him ready for answers but he simply shook his head.
“I’m sorry but we did what we could to save him. The rest is up to Park Jimin.”
His father spoke up. “What does that mean? Is my son alive or not?”
“He’s alive but he’s also has a collapsed lung and lost a good amount of blood. We were able to surgically remove the bullet, patch him up, and give him a blood transfusion but I’m afraid that’s all we can do. The will to live depends on your son. I’m sorry but if you’ll excuse me.” He began to walk away but stopped. “He will be moved into the ICU ward for now.”
Yoongi followed behind them to the ward of ill patients and when his eyes landed on Jimin’s figure, he had to look away. Jimin looked awful. He was barely breathing on his own and had a tube coming from his mouth, not to mention other IVs sticking out of his body. It was a hard sight to see. Yoongi honestly believed Jimin didn’t deserve this. He was a mobster but was a practical one. He used logic over emotion no matter what he did and to be gunned down in his home just because people wanted what he had, made him sick. It showed that they were targeting any and everyone but Yoongi refused to let them get to you.
Once he left the hospital, he headed straight to his club where he, Namjoon, and Hoseok worked. They worked for days straight, trying to find anything that would lead them to Sujin. And five days later, they found a lead.
Yoongi was leaned back in his chair talking on the phone to you.
“How’s Jimin?”
“His condition is still the same. His father hasn’t left his side yet.”
“Can you blame him?” You asked. “But how are you holding up?”
“What about you? How’s Jihyun?” He purposely ignored your question.
“We’re good. We just miss you and ready to come home.”
“We will soon, I promise.”
“Mr. Min, you have a visitor.” One of his men spoke.
“Send them in.” Yoongi addressed him before turning his attention back to you. “I have to go. I love you.”
“I love you, too.”
Yoongi ended the call thinking he was meeting with someone to help find Sujin but instead, he came face to face with Mina. She stood before him with a bouquet of flowers in her hands. Out of all the people to come to his club, she was the last person he’d expect to see.
“Hi, Yoongi.” She smiled.
“What are you doing here?”
“I heard about what happened and wanted to make sure you were okay.” Yoongi figured she meant the kidnapping and was about to ask her how she found out but guessed that she must have gotten a visit from his mother. After sitting the flowers down on the desk, she stood nervously in front of him; wondering if she should bring up the topic. “I also had seen that you were having a baby. Congratulations.”
“Thank you.”
“So... do you know what she is having?”
“A boy.”
“Oh a boy? That’s great.” Mina tried to keep the awkward conversation going. She would have rather this than to have Yoongi throw her out. She just wanted to be near him but it honestly pained her to talk to the man she still loved about the baby he was having with the woman he claimed he loved.
“What is it, Mina? What do you want?”
“I just wanted to see you and make sure you’re alive and okay.”
“And now that you have, do you mind leaving? I have a lot of work to do.”
“Wait!” She suddenly yelled out. Mina wasn’t ready for it to be over so she just said what was on her mind and what she truly felt. “Yoongi, this is hard for me. It is hard for me to look at you now and have you stare at me with no feeling in your eyes.”
“What would you like for me to do? It’s not my fault things ended up this way.”
“I know it’s my fault and you have every right to feel the way you do about me but my feelings for you still remain the same.” She admitted, wiping away tears. “I still love you, Yoongi, and you have no idea how this feels. I’ve tried living my life without you but I run into your pregnant girlfriend at the supermarket. I’m minding my business when your mother shows up to my door telling me that you’ve been kidnapped. It’s like you’re being pulled back into my life and it hurts because I can’t have you.”
Yoongi let out a frustrating sigh. “I’m sorry you feel this way but-“
“Don’t you miss me?! I know you’ve thought about us and reminisced over the thought of us!”
“If you’re looking for me to say ‘yes’ then you are sadly mistaken. The thought of you doesn’t cross my mind, not even for a second. If you’re looking for me to join your pity party, you have come to the wrong place. I see you are having a hard time regulating your emotions over false pretenses and that’s something you have to deal with on your own. I’m sure if you returned to the old Mina, you’d have no problem finding someone to give you the attention that you’ve been asking for.”
“But... I only want your attention.” She sobbed. “I love you. Only you.”
“Our time is over, Mina, I don’t love you. I love y/n. She is mother of my son and also my fiancée.”
Mina didn’t think she could be anymore heartbroken but she was wrong. She had been with Yoongi for five years and he always made excuses as to why he didn’t want to get married or have kids. He simply didn’t have the time. And now, not only were you already pregnant but he had proposed to you and the two of you hadn’t even been together two years.
It just wasn’t fair. You had everything; everything she wanted in a relationship with the man she wanted. Mina regretted even coming to speak with him. She knew that Yoongi wouldn’t respond the way she wanted him to, he was still under your spell. And no matter how many times she confessed to him, he will shoot her down because he had you. Yoongi made her feel as if she was nothing compared to you and she didn’t understand why because she knew she was the better girlfriend.
“Well, I guess as long as you’re happy that’s all that matters.” She sniffs. Maybe if she tried her hardest, she’d be able to move on.
“I am.” Yoongi stated, clearly unmoved by Mina’s theatrics. If anything, it annoyed him that she came to waste his time. “And just so we’re clear, I will continue to be happy without you. There is no need for you to continuously pop up assuming my feelings for you have changed. It will not and I’d appreciate it if you would stop wasting my time trying. I have moved on with my life and I’d suggest that you do the same.”
Mina grabbed the flowers from the desk and walked to the door in a defeated manner. Definitely different from her confident stroll she displayed when she first entered the office. She passed an anxious Namjoon who entered the moment she left out.
“Yoongi, we’ve got something!”
He was out of his seat in seconds, walking up to his friend. “What is it?”
Namjoon showed him a picture. “Meet Sunwoo, Sujin’s coordinator. He sets up all of her business transactions as a go-between. If we talk with him, he may know where she is.”
“Let’s pay him a visit.”
Within minutes, two cars left the club, heading in the direction of a small town; away from the city. Guns were loaded in the car in the case that she was there and wanted to go to war. Yoongi tried to keep a poker face as he drove his car. Finally, after weeks of searching, they were getting somewhere and this time, he was going to make Sujin and Insu pay for all that they did.
Minutes later, they arrived in front of a decent size home and emptied out of the vehicles. Hoseok and Namjoon went to the front door while the rest of the men stood guard around the place. They knocked hard on the wooden door and waited. Not even a minute later, Sunwoo partially opened the door, poking his head out.
“What do you want?”
“We just want to talk to you about your good friend, Oh Sujin.” Namjoon smirked, pushing back against the door so it wouldn’t close. “Min Yoongi sent us.”
At the admission of his words, Sunwoo quickly tried to shut the door but with two guys pushing back against it, he couldn’t stand a chance. The door flew open and Sunwoo took off running through the house with Namjoon and Hoseok right behind him. They dodged any item that was thrown in their direction in hopes of slowing them down.
When Sunwoo made it out of the back door, he jumped over the stairs, ready to run once he hit the ground but instead he took a blow to the face with a large wooden board. He yelled out in pain, clutching his broken nose as Yoongi watched him from above.
“Going so soon? We haven’t had a chance to talk and I know you heard, I’ve been looking for you.”
“You son-of-a-bitch! You broke my fucking nose!” Sunwoo screamed out.
“That’s not all I’m going to break.”
Hoseok and Namjoon lifted him by his arms and dragged him back into the house.
They threw him on the floor of his living room while they took a seat on the couch. Yoongi, however, remained standing; slowly circulating around his prey. 
“Let’s talk, Sunwoo.” He began.
“I have nothing to say to you. You’re a deadman walking.”
“Is that so?” He stopped walking and squatted down in front of him. “And who’s going to kill me?”
Sunwoo remained quiet, clutching his dripping nose. He realized that after taking a board to the face, he was also bleeding from his mouth and his skin felt as though it was swelling up.
“Where’s Sujin?”
“I don’t know who that is.”
Yoongi stood to his feet. “Once again, where is she?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” He mumbled.
Sunwoo was suddenly picked up, put down, and bound to a nearby chair. He stared up at Yoongi, in front of him, who was handed a black duffel bag. It didn’t take a rocket scientist to know that this was his demise if he didn’t give Yoongi what he wanted. Sunwoo was on his own, he assisted anyone who paid him well; his loyalty lied with no one. Why didn’t he just give Yoongi what he wanted?
The truth was that he had grown a crush on Sujin. Sunwoo appreciated her drive, especially in a field dominated by men. She wasn’t easily defeated and had the mental strength of someone who’s been in the business for decades. She knew what she wanted and did whatever needed to get it. Their light flirting gave him hope that once Sujin got what she wanted, she would invite him along to the top. He had already given her Min Yoongi and Park Jimin. Sunwoo was willing to do what it took to help Sujin.
“You were her coordinator. You helped her with transactions, knew just the right people to talk to that would assist her, and the right people to take down.” Yoongi stated. “And you’re telling me, you don’t know where she is?”
“No, I don’t.” Sunwoo told him. “I don’t know anything.”
Odd enough, Yoongi believed half of what he said. He knew Sunwoo knew more than what he was saying but his knowledge of Sujin’s operation only went so far. Being the person that she was, she wouldn’t have trusted him wholeheartedly with her plan. 
Yoongi fed on that fact, chuckling out loud. “You know... you’re probably right. You don’t know much of anything besides the little information you offered to her. You probably don’t even know where she is right now, do you?” He laughed. “Of course you don’t, Sujin doesn’t trust you like that. She knows that there are only a handful of people she could trust and you’re not one of them.”
That very sentence had gotten Sunwoo’s attention. He looked up at Yoongi with hate in his eyes before casting his gaze elsewhere.
“You thought she cared for someone like you? You’re nothing but a mull to her and I won’t be surprised if she already has another coordinator for her business, someone more trustworthy.” 
“Sujin’s not like that.” Sunwoo mumbled with hint of anger in his voice. Clearly Yoongi struck a nerve.
“Then you don’t know Oh Sujin the way you think you do. She is willing to make as many sacrifices as possible to claim what I have... even sacrifice you to me to avoid being caught.” He stated. “If she really cared for you the way you think she does, she wouldn’t have let you been found so easily. It was as if she handed you to me.”
“THAT’S A LIE! SHE WOULDN’T-“
“Why don’t you call her up right now and tell her the predicament you’re in? Maybe if you’re lucky, she may answer the call.” Yoongi stared down at Sunwoo’s figure. He was just kid who got caught up in the wrong business and fell for the wrong person. “I’m going to ask you one last time of Sujin’s whereabouts. If you were smart, you’d give them to me.”
Sunwoo remained quiet. What Yoongi had in stored couldn’t be that bad and when the coast was clear, he would reach out to Sujin for help. He tried not to let Yoongi’s words get to him but he had a point. Sunwoo had tried calling Sujin earlier that day but she didn’t answer nor did she respond to his texts.
“Since you were such a good boy and helped steered Sujin in my direction. It’s only fair that give you the same treatment she gave me when I was captured. I’m sure when she does come to you; she’ll know who she sacrificed you to.”
Yoongi opened the bag and pulled out a sledgehammer. Sunwoo’s eyes widen at the thought of it hitting his body. Namjoon and Hoseok watched as Yoongi inflicted the same torture that was brought down on him to the younger male. Surprisingly, Namjoon had to look away as Yoongi sliced up Sunwoo’s back. He couldn’t imagine that his best friend endured such treatment for as long as he did. It honestly brought tears to his eyes remembering the condition Yoongi was in when he found him and how he almost didn’t make it.
The slow torture went on for no more than an hour. Yoongi finished it off by shooting Sunwoo three times. Two for him and one for Jimin, who was still fighting for his life. Unfortunately, Sunwoo couldn’t hold strong and passed to the next life a minute or two later after being shot.
Yoongi stood looking down at the dead body; the blood slowly dripping to the floor in a puddle. This was sure to get Sujin’s attention. Whether he meant something or not, this was his message to her: “I’m right behind you.”
~~~~~
Couple days later, it was as if nothing had happened. After the torture and killing of Sunwoo, there was still no sign of Sujin or Insu. Yoongi put it out of his mind for the time being and focused more on you since you were getting closer to your due date. True to his word, Yoongi took you to visit Jimin who had begun breathing on his own but was still in a comatose state. You softly cried but spent the day holding onto his hand and sharing memories of when the two of you first met. You were relieved that Jimin was showing some signs of improvement but you knew it could change for the worse in a heartbeat.
With Yoongi’s approval and with the company of his mother, you were able to visit Jimin every other day to see if his condition changed. One day it did...
You were standing in one of the other bedrooms at Yoongi’s house when he walked up behind you, wrapping his arms around your chest, kissing your neck.
“What are you doing in here?”
You rested against him. “Well since we’re going to be here for awhile, I was thinking of turning this room into a nursery. What do you think?”
“Why this room?”
“It’s closer to ours. If he cries, I want to be able to quickly get him.”
Yoongi only hummed a response before changing the subject. You noticed his grip on you tightened a bit. “I just received a call from Jimin’s dad.”
“What did he say?” You wanted to turn around but he held you in place. “Yoongi? What did he say?”
He didn’t answer and he didn’t allow you to move from how you were standing. If Yoongi was being this secretive, it must mean that something bad had happened. Jimin’s condition somehow took a turn for the worst. But how when he showed signs of recovery?
You tried to shake him away but he only held tighter. “Yoongi talk to me,” your voice trembled. “What happened?”
Finally he let you go and you turned to face him, expecting to find him holding back tears like you were trying to do. Instead, you found him trying to suppress his laughter. It was all a trick; there wasn’t anything wrong with Jimin. You let your anger be known as you tried to swing at him, tears spilling from your eyes.
“You lying bastard!” You screamed but it made Yoongi laugh as he dodged your oncoming attacks. “How could you do that?! I really thought something had happened!”
He was able to grab your hand and pull you close to him, holding you in a tight embrace as you fought against him. Once you had calmed down, he had let go; pulling away to watch you wipe away tears.
You could barely keep at straight face when you saw him trying to hide his smile; causing small giggles to sip out. “I hate you, you asshole.”
“I didn’t think you were this gullible. I need you to be stronger than that.” He teased.
“Anyways,” you rolled your eyes at him. “How’s Jimin’s condition?”
“He’s awake.”
That gotten your attention. “Can we go see him now?! Please?”
Yoongi thought it over briefly. He did need to talk to Jimin about what happened that night then changed his mind. Jimin didn’t need to relive that fateful day just yet; after all, there will be plenty of time for business once he had a couple days to rest.
~~~
The two of you walked hand in hand down the corridor to Jimin’s room. You could barely contain your excitement as you began walking fast, suddenly dragging Yoongi along.
“Jimin!” You screamed the moment you entered the room, gaining the attention of him and his father. Without wasting another second, you embraced him tightly. “I was so worried but I knew you’d be okay! I’m so glad you’re alive.”
Jimin smiled, enclosing an arm around your waist before glancing in Yoongi’s direction. Yoongi simply shrugged, shaking his head.
“Thank you for coming to see me.” Jimin told you once you pulled away from him. “How have you and the baby been?”
“We’re okay, but more importantly, how are you feeling?”
“I feel better, still a little weak but better.”
“He’ll be here for a while. The doctor says that he needs another transfusion.” His father added. “With no more complications, Jimin will make a full recovery.”
“That’s good news.” Yoongi said stepping forward and taking his hand. “It’s good to have you back. We can discuss work later when you’re well enough.”
“We can do it now. Even though I can’t act on it, I’m perfectly capable of receiving information.”
You sat in a nearby chair and listened as Yoongi explained all that happen to Jimin during his stay at the hospital. It was a lot to take in, especially hearing how they had tortured and killed a young man just a couple days ago. You knew that these were necessary steps to finds the ones responsible but that didn’t stop you from feeling sick to your stomach. Hasn’t there been enough bloodshed?
By the time the discussion ended, it was already nightfall and you had fallen asleep waiting for Yoongi. He had woken you up soon after, bidding Jimin and his father a good night before taking your hand and leaving the hospital.
You tried to get comfortable to go to back to sleep during the car ride home but when you opened your eyes, you noticed you weren’t going the route you normally would to get there.
“Where are we going?” You asked, sitting straight in your seat.
Yoongi glances over at you before turning his attention back to the rode. “One last stop before heading home.”
You wondered where else he had to go at this time of night then decided to put it out of your mind and enjoy the ride. Not even fifteen minutes later, the car pulled up to a large house located not too far from his parent’s house. It gave off a dark feeling since there wasn’t a single light on or around the house.
You looked over at Yoongi, wanting to ask the obvious question but he took your hand and led you up to the front door. Once inside, he flipped on the switch and lit up the empty house. Your eyes widen and your mouth dropped at how it looked. You released his hand and stepped further into the foyer, then the living room.
“What do you think?” Yoongi asked, coming to join your side with a smile on his face.
“Wha-wh-... why?” You could barely form the words to express your thoughts?
“Didn’t you say you wanted to move somewhere where nobody could find us?” He chuckled. “You’re standing in your new home.”
You covered your mouth with your hand in shock. The house was beautiful. Much more modern than the huge house he had now. You smiled at how the style complimented Yoongi’s nature. It was perfect for him but also warm enough for you and Jihyun. The two of you would be busy over the next couple weeks decorating the place. You looked around before going into the next room.
“Wow... I don’t know what to say.” You wiped away tears.
“The only thing that matters is that you like it, do you?” He approached you, kissing your forehead. 
You nodded. “I do. I love it.” You kissed his lips.
“Let’s go upstairs, there’s something I want to show you.”
You followed behind him, walking passed a large bedroom you figured was the master bedroom and the room you two would be sharing, and stood in front a dark room. When Yoongi flicked on the lights, tears filled your eyes all over again. You walked inside what would soon be Jihyun’s room. Everything you had received from the baby shower was used to decorate the room. Even Yoongi had the walls painted a periwinkle blue to match the cotton of the furniture. 
You ran your hand over everything you laid eyes on in amazement. When did he have time to do this? Yoongi was definitely one of a kind.
He watched you take a seat in the rocking chair before coming over and squatting down in front of you.
“Now all we’re missing is him.” He commented, staring at your stomach. You ran your fingers through his hair, pushing back his bangs with a smile on your face.
“And our things.” You grabbed him by his shirt, pulling him closer to kiss his lips. “Thank you.”
“Anything for my wife.”
~~~
The two of you locked up the house and headed home for the night. The moment you made it inside the bedroom, you showed Yoongi what being a good future husband got him. He went to bed that night relaxed after you massaging his body, emptied his balls, and fed him compliment after compliment that was sure to make his head big.
When you awoke the following morning, you awoke to a note lying on an empty side of the bed. Yoongi informed you that he was in a business meeting downstairs and breakfast was waiting for you when you were ready.
Excitement filled your body as you quickly threw back the covers and hopped out of bed. After breakfast and his meeting, maybe Yoongi could help you get everything packed for the new house. You were ready to leave this place behind. Although it brought memorable moments, there were equally bad memories as well. You just wanted to put it all behind you and move forward, not living in fear.
Once showered and dressed for the day, you headed downstairs for food. Quietly easing pass the meeting, you made it to the kitchen where Yohan greeted you. You sat at the island, eating and chatting with him about the new house. You were relieved to hear that despite the passing of Mr. Wu, Yohan would still be working for Mr. Min and watching over Yoongi.
After breakfast, you helped Yohan clean up before heading back upstairs to repack your things. You were in the midst of walking upstairs when you heard the rattling of the front doorknob. Assuming someone from the meeting had gotten locked out; you were ready to head back down to open the door, when it suddenly flew open.
Several men all dressed in black, armed with guns and ammunition; were now standing in the foyer. You shrieked, fleeing upstairs but not before gaining the attention of the men. One of them pointed the gun in your direction only to be stopped by his boss.
“Go after her.” Insu commanded. “Once she is taken care of, join us down here.”
“Yes, sir.” He quickly raced up the stairs after you while the rest of men prepared themselves for war.
Yoongi froze his movements at the noise you had released. He carefully listened but he couldn’t hear you anymore. Instead, his ears picked up on voices coming from his living room. Something was about to happen and it wasn’t good. Quickly grabbing the gun he had stashed in the dining room, he ushered his company into the kitchen and armed them and Yohan with weapons. 
He didn’t know who it was but he had a good guess of who it could be and what’s worse, they stood between you and him. Yoongi had to think quickly, if he knew Insu, he figure he send someone after you while he handled the rest.
~~~~~
You made it to the second landing and ran straight into Yoongi’s bedroom. The man suddenly came into view as you were closing the door. You leaned against it as he began trying to barge his way into the room, causing you to scream.
“Come on, open up,” he toyed. “I don’t want to shoot you through the door. I’d rather stare into your eyes as I’m wringing your neck.” He suddenly pushed hard and was able stick his arm inside, swinging it around in an effort to grab you. 
“Yoongi!” You screamed, falling to the floor.
Yoongi’s heart slammed in his chest at your voice. You were in trouble; you needed him. Without much thought, he cocked his gun and walked out firing. He was able to hit and kill two men before ducking behind a wall. They immediately returned fire; their bullets blasting everything just like that had previously done when he wasn’t there. Then suddenly, they stopped.
“Good to see you again, Yoongi.” Insu stated. “Sujin sends her regards but I ensured her that I’d bring back your head and the baby.”
“Ignore him, Mr. Yoongi,” Yohan whispered in his ear after easing up behind him. “He’s just trying to get a rise out of you.”
“Yeah, well its working.”
Yoongi began firing again with Yohan’s assistance. Insu was shielded behind his men as they returned fire as well. Yoongi’s business partners soon joined the battle after calling for help. Meanwhile, you were still upstairs fighting off the intruder trying to enter the room. Pushing hard against the door caused the man to withdraw his arm.
“Please!” you begged. Jihyun was wide awake and moving like he usually did when you were tense and your anxiety level was high. “You don’t have to do this!”
“But I do. Insu picked me as the man to cut open your stomach and take your son.”
He pushed hard against the door again; his arm came through the side, this time with a gun in his hand. Your heart skipped a beat at him potentially shooting you and reacted by grabbing onto his arm and biting down into his skin. The man screamed, dropping the gun, and withdrawing his arm. You pushed the door closed, using your foot to scoot the gun closer for you to grab.
You cocked the gun and moved away from the door. When the man burst through, you closed your eyes and opened fire. You were scared to open them but when you did, you saw the man was still alive; clutching his bleeding chest but he was still alive.
“Please don’t make me kill you.” You cried, walking backwards as he walked towards you. “Please!”
But he still didn’t heed your warning. You fired one final shot which pierced his skull, killing him instantly. You covered your mouth, crying into your palm. You had just killed a man. You have someone else’s blood on your hands and had trouble coming to terms with what you had done, but the gun battle downstairs told you that you didn’t have time to wallow in your misery.
“Go after the girl.” Insu instructed another one of his men after hearing shots come from upstairs.
You pushed the body out of the room and closed the door. Using your last bit of strength, you moved Yoongi’s bed and other furniture in his room in front of the door in an effort to keep anyone from getting in. Once you were sure you had been blocked in, you leaned against the bed and gotten the shock of your life. You couldn’t stop the warm liquid from running down your legs.
“No no no! Oh God, no!” You panicked. “Not now!”
~~~~~
Yoongi was starting to get anxious. Too much time had passed and he wasn’t sure what was happening upstairs. Hopefully you remained strong until he was able to come save you. By now, he was able to slip into his office and try to call for backup but the phone line was down, leaving them no choice but to fight their way through this.
Insu stood by and watched the scene unfold behind his dark shades. With everything going as planned, Min Yoongi and his girlfriend will be dead and Sujin will have the baby she desired. He cocked his gun and begun firing where he assumed Yoongi was hiding. It was now time for it all to end. He was going to be the one to kill the famous kingpin.
“Kill the others but leave Min to me.” He stated, moving forward to take the ultimate shot.
Yoongi saw a shadow approaching and hide behind the door. When Insu came into view, he slammed the door into him; causing Insu to drop his weapon. Yoongi leaped out, pointing his gun at his head.
“Any last words before I send your body back to your boss?” Yoongi asked. He was more than ready to pull the trigger and end his life.
“Just this.”
Insu knocked the gun out of his hand then used the opportunity to attack, striking Yoongi in the face. However, Yoongi was able to quickly compose himself and launched an attack of his own; delivering blows to Insu’s face. Insu blocked as much as he could before fighting back, swinging his fists in attempt to connect them to any part of Yoongi’s body. Yoongi blocked, kneed him in the stomach before delivering another punch to his face.
“Look at how weak you’ve become. It’s almost laughable.” Yoongi taunted. “You’re supposed to be someone’s right hand man yet you’re unskilled in hand to hand combat?”
Insu spit out a wad of blood. “I don’t need my hands when I have my guns. Once armed, you’re dead.”
“If you’re able to make it that far. I doubt you’ll be able to make it to your gun before I kill you.”
Insu picked up a paperweight from the desk and throw it in Yoongi’s direction; in hopes to injure him. He made a run for the gun, only to get tackled by Yoongi. The pair rolled over the floor repeatedly throwing punches to get the upper hand.
~~~~~
You grabbed your stomach as you crouched down on the floor, bracing another contraction that was soon to come.
“Ugh!” You panted through gritted teeth. “Dammit, Jihyun... couldn’t you wait... until tomorrow?”
Your body was shaking and you could barely stand on your own. You knew eventually that you needed to go to the hospital. There was no way you were having him at home in the middle of a war. Crawling over to the bed, you struggled to reach for your phone. You needed to call for help; everyone’s life depended on it.
You almost had it when a bullet flew through the door, hitting the mattress. The loud popping noise easily frightened you, causing you to scream. You ducked down for cover in case he fired again but was hit with another contraction. Your hands balled into fists as you cried out on the floor.
“I hear you...” the man teased, firing two more shots into the bed. “Why don’t you give up and unlock the door.”
Even though your body was in pain, you slowly stood to your feet, grabbed your phone, and stumbled into the bathroom; falling on the floor. With Jimin still in the hospital, you called the next best thing.
“Hello?”
“Hoseok! It’s me, I need your help.” You softly cried into phone.
“Y/n? What’s going on? Where’s Yoongi?” 
“I don’t know, I locked myself in the bedroom. Those people who kidnapped him are here and they have guns-“
“I’m on my way, don’t move. I’ll alert Yoongi’s father about what’s happening and we’ll be on the way.”
“Please hurry.”
The called ended and you huddled against the tub, rubbing your stomach and trying to calm the baby who was pushing against your cervix. You stared at the bedroom door, wondering if the man had left. The shooting had stopped and he wasn’t taunting you from the other side. You prayed that he had left and wasn’t trying to hurt you anymore.
Suddenly, loud rhythmic pounding on the bedroom door rung out upstairs. It startled you but a closer glance made your blood run cold. The man had broken the door and was now repeatedly pushing it open to move the furniture. You covered your ears and closed your eyes to block out the noise but throbbing of your lower half had your thoughts pulled away from the door and to your body, which was prepping itself for labor. You held on to anything close by for support, even the edge of the tub. The pain was becoming too unbearable that you had no choice to call for help.
“YOONGI!” You cried, screaming at the top of your lungs. “YOONGI! PL-“ 
Your voice was suddenly caught in your throat at the pain, rendering you unable to call out to him any further. You covered your eyes, crying 
~~~~~
When your screams rung out from upstairs, Yoongi’s head snapped in that direction. It lit a fire in him and he began bashing his fist into Insu’s head, who was now leaking blood from his nose and mouth. Yoongi suffered from a busted lip and sore limps from fighting. He refused to let Insu get the upper hand.
When he assumed Insu was too weak to fight back, Yoongi let his body fall to the floor and moved to get the gun. Insu grabbed onto his legs, causing him to fall on his front. He pulled out a pocket knife and tried to stab him, swinging the blade recklessly. Yoongi was cut on his arm and hand trying to dodge his attacks. Insu had gotten lucky and delivered a long cut on his palm.
“Next will be your throat.” He threatened with a smile, ready to strike again. 
Shots suddenly rung out in the room followed by silence. Insu gripped his wounded arm, looking up to see who shot him. Namjoon stood by with his gun loaded ready to fire again but before he could, Insu charged towards the nearest window and leaped through it, shattering glass around the area.
“Don’t let him get away!” Yoongi commanded. “Follow him!”
A few men rushed out of room and out of the house to chase after a Insu, who had just peeled off the property in a car. Namjoon rushed to the aid of his friend checking to see if he was okay but Yoongi quickly exited the room leaving a confused Namjoon to follow after him.
“Come on, you need medical help.” Namjoon offered.
“I’m fine.” He stated even though his hand was dripping blood.
The house was a wreck, bodies everywhere including all of Insu’s men and his guests from the meeting. Their bodies were located by the patio door, trying to make a run or it.
“Where are you going?” Namjoon ask him as he bypassed the destruction and chaos to head upstairs.
~~~
Hoseok had slowly eased his way upstairs after hearing loud banging. He found a man, with a gun in his hand, trying to enter the bedroom where you were hiding. Hoseok fired twice, killing the man instantly. 
“Y/n?” He called but didn’t get an answer.
He could see how the door was busted open yet, he still couldn’t get inside. Peeking through the crack, he could see that something was blocking the door.
Yoongi arrived, almost on cue, standing next to Hoseok. “Is she okay?”
“I don’t know. I can’t get inside; she put something in front of the door.”
Yoongi quickly surveyed the situation, placing his hand on the large wooden barrier. “We’ll have to break into the room. If we hit it together, it’s bound to give way.”
With no other options, the three of them repeatedly knocked into the door until the furniture on the other side was push out of the way to where they could enter the room. Yoongi leaped over it all and entered his bedroom, scanning the room. He found you in the bathroom, hiding in the tub with your hands over your ears.
“Y/n?” But you didn’t respond. “Y/n?!” He shook your shoulder trying to get your attention.
When you realized it was Yoongi and not the unknown man trying break inside the room to kill you, you fell into his arms; crying all over again.
“Yoongi I was so scared.” Your voice muffled as your face was pressed into his shirt. After a minute, he pulled away to check you over before speaking.
“Baby, come on. It’s over but we have to go.” Yoongi stated trying to help you to your feet but you shook your head unable to move with him.
“I can’t.” You mumbled almost on the verge of tears. Yoongi kneeled down, holding your face in his hands. He was still on edge, checking the door occasionally to make sure no one was there to hurt you both.
“What’s wrong?”
Just then, another contraction washed over you, causing a loud groan of pain to slip from your lips. Your hands gripped Yoongi’s arm and clothes for support until the pain went away momentarily. He stared in confusion and panic, thinking you had possibly gotten shot.
“Jihyun... is coming...”
The moment he heard those words, they were immediately processed and received. Yoongi’s eyes widen; his eyes just stared a hole into you. If what you say is true then your water had broken and you were already in labor.
“Oh shit.” He said absentmindedly.
You nodded, adjusting yourself in an effort to stand before another contraction came. “Yoongi... we have to get to the hospital. I don’t think... I can take much more of this.” You broke down in a sob. “I want him out.”
“Is she okay?” Namjoon asked, stepping inside the bathroom.
Yoongi shook his head. “Call for an ambulance; the baby is coming.”
Namjoon immediately pulled out his phone called for assistance. With that taken care of, Yoongi turned his focus solely on you.
“Baby, I need you to be strong for me. I know it hurts but I need to get you downstairs before they arrive.”
“Can’t they come up here?”
“The house is a mess and too many bodies lying around. They’ll call for the police before they help you.”
With the help of Namjoon, both men helped you to your feet and slowly escorted you downstairs; stopping along the way when another contraction came. Yoongi shielded your face from seeing what took place on the lower level. The scene was too much for anyone who wasn’t use to seeing such a thing. By the time you made it outside, your body had become weak and were now trembling.
The ambulance had arrived seconds later, both men jumping out of the vehicle to help. They acted immediately, helping you onto the stretcher while Yoongi explained to them your situation.
“Please take care of her.” He told them, stopping at the back doors.
“Wait! You’re not coming with?” You asked, trying to sit up but he only laid you back down.
“I can’t,” He mumbled, checking to see if the men were listening in. “I have to take care of something first but I promise I’ll be at the hospital before Jihyun arrives.”
“What’s more important than us?” The tears were already forming in your eyes. “Please don’t leave me, Yoongi.”
Yoongi remained silent, casting his gaze elsewhere. He had to take care of Insu while he had the chance. If he gotten away, both he and Sujin would continue to wreak havoc on his life and the last thing he wanted was to allow them the chance to hurt his son.
“I have to go.” He let his hand slip from your grip as you were loaded inside the ambulance. You refused to let the man put the oxygen mask over your face as you continued to call out to him.
“Please, Yoongi!” You cried. “Don’t do this! Please don’t leave me!”
The doors closed as he watched the other man get into the driver seat and pull off of the property with the sirens blaring. Your voice and face was all that was in his head.
“Are you sure you don’t want to go with her?” Namjoon asked, standing next to him. “You’re father is on the way too. Don’t you think we should wait for what he has to say?”
The car was ready, his men were ready, now all he needed to do was finish what he started. If he was quick about it, he could get back to you in no time.
“Let’s go.”
~~~
“Make a left here,” Hoseok told him with the phone to his ear as he gave directions as to find Insu. Lucky for them, he was still in his car and easy to tail by Yoongi’s men. “Make another left then keep straight for two blocks.”
Yoongi pulled out his phone to call his mother, driving with one hand on the wheel; weaving in and out of traffic.
“Yoongi! Thank goodness! Your father told me what happened, is everything okay?”
“No it’s not; I need you to go to the hospital. Y/n is on her way there,” he paused. “Jihyun is coming.”
“I’m leaving now. Are you headed there?”
“No, there’s something I have to do first.”
There was a slight pause. “Min Yoongi! Are you telling me that y/n is at the hospital by herself?!”
“That’s why I need you there. She needs someone there.”
Her voice lowered in a stern tone. “No Yoongi, she needs YOU. Be there in twenty minutes.”
He lowered the phone from his ear at the sound of her hanging up. He ignored the nagging self conscience feeling telling him to go to the hospital. Instead, his foot stepped on the gas, speeding the car down the street. If he was really lucky, maybe Insu could led them to Sujin.
“Make a right.” Hoseok directed him.
As they stopped at the intersection, all three of them watched a black car speed right passed them with another car following close behind. No doubt, the man they were looking for: Kun Insu.
“There he is!” Namjoon shouted.
Without a second thought, Yoongi hit the gas and drove straight into oncoming traffic; trailing after them. The sound of car horns and tires rubbing against the asphalt rung out. Some cars crashed into each other while others were able to screech to a halt.
~~~~~
Hyolyn rushed inside the emergency room with Matt right behind her. After your frantic call, the two of them jump in the car and headed to the hospital. Thankfully, they spotted your father who was able to calm the pair. He told them exactly what was told to him by one of the nurses. That you were already in labor and how they weren’t able to go into the delivery room.
They took a seat in the waiting room and began the long task of waiting for the baby to arrive. Meanwhile your mother and Yoongi’s mother was in the delivery room with you, trying to coach you through the process. Your mother repeatedly wiped away sweat that appeared on your forehead while Yoongi’s mother held your hand and talked you down from your hysteria.
The more you dilated, the faster the contractions were coming and the more you felt as though you were dying. Even though you wanted him out, you didn’t want to deliver your son and Yoongi wasn’t there. So no matter how much pain you were in, you tried to hold back as much as you could which was very hard to do. Your body was trying to rid itself of the human baby that was more than ready to come out.
After ten minutes, the doctor realized something was wrong.
“Y/n, listen to me very carefully,” the doctor told you. “We need you to stop holding back and push him out. Otherwise you could pose a threat to your body and baby.”
Your head fell back against the bed, the agonizing pain of your bones stretching. “But I can’t have him now,” You cried out. “Yoongi’s not here yet. He needs to be here.”
“He’s on the way, honey.” You mother tried to comfort you. “He’ll be here in time to cut the umbilical cord.”
However, Yoongi’s mother had a different approach. “Y/n, push out my grandson. We’ve waited long enough now time is up. There’s no point in holding back for a man who chose not to be here. Yoongi will have to deal with the aftermath when he arrives but you shouldn’t be putting more tension on yourself because of him.”
Her figure became blurred by tears at her words because she was right. It hurt you that Yoongi had put business before you when you really needed him; even before Jihyun. This day wasn’t about him; it wasn’t even about you. It was about Jihyun and it upset you that he wouldn’t have both parents there during the time of his birth. 
When the tears fell from your eyes, granting you vision of your surroundings, you looked up at your mother. Her warm eyes speaking what her lips did not. She loved you and will stand by your side no matter what you decided. Your grip tightened on Yoongi’s mother’s hand as she gave you a comforting smile.
“Okay,” you spoke up after a while, waiting until some of the pain subsided. “I’m ready.”
The following minutes were spent helping you deliver Jihyun. Both mothers on each side, holding onto your hand as you pushed. Your eyes closed tight and your teeth gritted together as you strained; stopping to take deep breaths before doing it again.
After awhile, you needed a break and fell back on the bed exhausted. 
Your mother smiled while stroking your face. Even she had to wipe away tears from her eyes. “You’re doing great, honey.”
“Okay y/n, I just need you to give me one big push. Can you do that?” The doctor spoke, stretching your birth canal open.
You leaned up on your elbows and took on final breath, pushing as hard as you could. Oddly enough, you could feel Jihyun slowly moving to descend out of your body. It was feeling you knew you would never forget.
“Oh my God! I see him!” Yoongi’s mother gasped, using her other hand to wipe away tears.
“Come on, y/n. You’re almost there.” The doctor coached.
Jihyun was right there, you could feel it. One more push was all it took for you to be able to see your baby. You nodded and pushed one final time, giving it your all.
~~~~~
Yoongi drove with both hands on the wheel, his knuckles turning a shade of white as he gripped the material. He raced after Insu, sure enough causing several car accidents in his wake. But no matter how much destruction it caused on the city, he wasn’t stopping until Insu was dead.
When he suddenly made a left turn, causing a fiery crash, Yoongi made a left as well but through a side street. If he guessed correctly and Insu made another left turn, Yoongi would be right behind him. With the help of Hoseok and Namjoon, they could shoot out the tires; bringing the car to a stop.
But just as luck would have it, when Yoongi approach the intersection, his car t-boned head on into Insu’s. His car couldn’t handle the impact and rolled over repeatedly until it came to a stop, hitting a light pole. Yoongi’s car released its airbags after receiving severe frontal damage. 
All three exited the vehicle with guns drawn as they approached Insu. They weren’t sure of his condition and did not want to give him the opportunity to get the upper hand. Kun Insu’s reign of terror on Yoongi’s life and everyone else’s was over.
With his air bags also deployed, Insu sat in the driver’s seat leaking blood from too many open wounds. Namjoon opened the car door and he fell out, lying on the pavement. Hoseok pointed a gun at him in the case he made a move while Yoongi grabbed him by his shirt and deliberately punched him to an excessive degree that he looked unrecognizable.
“Where the fuck is she?” Yoongi roared out in anger but Insu didn’t respond and he figured Insu wasn’t going to. Even in the face of death, Insu remained loyal to Sujin. Wherever she was, they weren’t going to find out anytime soon.
Yoongi dropped his body on the ground and pulled out his gun, executing him by unloading a clip of bullets into his skull. He let out a breath, lowering the gun onto his side. Nothing but silence echoed around them. Even though it was over, Yoongi still wasn’t satisfied. In many ways, he felt incomplete knowing that one person was still out there; walking freely amongst others.
Both Hoseok and Namjoon could read Yoongi’s feelings easily after knowing him for years. Even working alongside of him, only strengthen their bond. They knew he was disappointed and it showed.
“You shouldn’t stress about this. We’ll find her.” Hoseok spoke, placing a hand on his shoulder.
“He’s right,” Namjoon added. “We may not have Sujin but we stopped Insu. That’s better than nothing. Besides, you have somewhere more important you should be.”
The thought of his family waiting on him; the thought of you waiting on him...
Switching cars with his men, the three of them drove to the hospital while his car was taken back to his property. Yoongi’s mind wandered to you and your condition. He knew he’d be in hot water for leaving you like he did but this was something he had to take care. He’d rather have one dead than neither with them hiding somewhere in the city.
When they walked through the doors of the hospital, they immediately spotted both families in the waiting room. However Yoongi kept walking, stopping by the front desk before continuing on. A lot was on his mind as he rode the elevator up to your floor. According to the front desk, you had been moved from the delivery room to a regular room while you recovered. You already had Jihyun and he had missed it. He had missed the birth of his first born son. Yoongi knew you would be furious with him because of it. 
His mother noticed him the moment he walked inside the room. She stood to her feet, walking over him. In an instant, her hand came up to slap him across the face, to which he didn’t blame her for, before embracing him. His arms enclosed around his mother as they stood hugging each other. As she stepped back, she wiped away proof of her tears.
“How was she?” Yoongi asked; turning both of their heads in your direction to witness you peacefully resting in bed.
“She did amazing,” She smiled, wiping more tears that had gathered.
“And Jihyun? Where is he?”
On cue, the nurse entered the room, pushing a translucent nursery crib. She placed the crib on the side of the bed where you slept before walking out to leaving them to privacy.
Yoongi approach the crib, closely watching the tightly wrapped baby sleep. Taking a deep breath, he picked him up, studying his tiny features. It was as if he was looking in a mirror at his younger self; he almost couldn’t believe it.
“I know, he looks just like you.” His mother commented, walking towards her son and grandson.
“I know.” He agreed. Seconds after he heard his father spoke, Jihyun opened his eyes, catching Yoongi by surprise. He assumed Jihyun would begin crying like babies do when they don’t see their mother but he remained silent.
The two stared off as if they were sizing each other up. Jihyun innocently blinked up at him while Yoongi held his gaze. Crazy enough, even though Jihyun looked like him, the one he had that belonged to you were your eyes. Yoongi felt like you were staring him through the eyes of your son even when you were sleeping.
“Yoongi!” Namjoon yelled, running into the room; surprising them. “You’re not going to believe this but we may know where Sujin’s location!”
That certainly had gotten his attention. “You’re kidding! How?!”
“Matt. He suggested that Insu may have very well been on his way back to Sujin’s hiding spot when we interrupted him. I looked up any property any one of them could have owned and got something. Sunwoo had another house he signed off on under an alias. Judging by the direction Insu was headed in, he was only three blocks away when we hit him.”
Yoongi’s insides bubbled with excitement. Although it was just a hunch, it was better than nothing and he was willing to take whatever he had to find her. If, by any chance, Sujin was there, then he could put an end to her and her plan to take control.
“How do you want to proceed?” Namjoon asked, finally noticing that Yoongi was holding his son for the first time.
Yoongi had to be there to witness the look on Sujin’s face when she realizes they had caught her but the stern tone of his name being called by his mother, opened his eyes to the situation he was in. He had already put business before you when you needed him, but did he want to do that to his son in the same day? Looking down at Jihyun, he saw your judgmental eyes staring back at him as if waiting to see what he had decided.
~~~~~
Your eyes had slowly opened to what you assumed was an empty room. You slowly sat up in bed, adjusting yourself. Although the light was on, no one was in your line of view. It wasn’t until you heard the light sounds of Jihyun cooing that your head whipped around to where he was at. The view made you relax, smiling as you lied back down.
Yoongi held him in his arms, slowly rocking him back and forth. When he saw that you were awake, he walked over, standing by the side of the bed.
“Looks who’s finally up,” he teased but was still talking to Jihyun. “It’s mommy.”
You instantly sat up to take the baby as Yoongi handed him to you. A smile spread across your face as you looked down at him. You barely had a chance to see him when he was born due to how drained labor made you. While you stared at his little round face, you almost missed Yoongi climbing into bed next to you; hiding his face against your body. After realizing who you were, Jihyun turned his head closer to you and closed his eyes.
“Goodness, he looks just like you.” You lightly chuckled.
“With your eyes.” he mumbled into your hospital gown, wrapping an arm around your midsection.
“Where is everyone?”
“After you wouldn’t wake up to greet your guests, they all just went home after sneaking a peek at Jihyun. They’ll be back after the two of you had your rest.”
It was quiet between you both and you after the day he had; you figured it was only a matter of time before Yoongi fell asleep.
“When did you arrive?” You asked him.
There was a pause. “A couple hours ago. You were already asleep.”
You let a light hum that made it hard for Yoongi to tell if you were angry at him or not. He knew it had to be discussed before you dropped the subject but the last thing he wanted was to resent him because of it.
“Is it over?” The question itself caught him off guard that he lifted his head to look at you. You stared down at him with a waiting expression.
“Yes. It’s all over now.”
“Good.” You smiled, leaning over to kiss his lips. You didn’t want to hate Yoongi for the decisions he made when he just wanted to make sure the tranquility his family wasn’t threatened. Even if it meant he had to miss Jihyun being born, you knew it hurt him just as much not there so you chose not to rub it in. He was there now and that’s all that mattered.
~~~
The following morning you had awoke to an empty spot next to you and an empty crib and instead awoke to a room full of voices. Your parents and his had stopped by to see Jihyun, as well as Hyolyn and Matt. They all gushed over him while you remained in bed, eating breakfast and listening to the chatter. Hearing the sound of his father’s voice after being passed around a bit too much, Jihyun had begun to cry until he was placed in the arms of the very person he wanted. Everyone laughed while you rolled your eyes. Yoongi had either just learned of Jihyun’s attachment to him or he already knew. Something told you that he already knew.
Everyone stayed half the day until it was time for the nurses to check on you and the baby. Once you were done filling out paperwork for Jihyun, you watched your boys interact with each other with a loving smile on your face. Everything was going well until Yoongi’s phone rung out. While still holding his son, he smiled at who it was and answered. Your mood darkened realizing it could only be work calling, seeing how his parents left not too long ago.
“Yoongi,” you called his name sternly, closely watching him. “I thought you said it was over.”
However he simply ignored you, speaking into the phone. “Is it done?”
“It’s done.” Namjoon replied.
~~~~~
He and a Hoseok watched as Sujin screamed at the top of her lungs. They had successfully captured her but at the request of Yoongi, she wasn’t tortured and killed. Instead, she suffered a slow death at the hands of his friends.
With a few painful cuts to her skin, Sujin’s body was placed in a cheaply made cage then placed in the sea. They watched the cage slowly sink into water with Sujin screaming out her final dying breath. Even if she does manage to hold her breath for awhile, her blood should attract any sharks nearby. Hopefully, she should drown before her body is ripped to shreds. Both men recorded her demise on their phones, sending the video to both Yoongi and Jimin.
~~~~~
Yoongi ended the call, putting his phone away. That was all he needed to hear to make this day nothing short of perfect.
  Epilogue 
 A couple days after being released from the hospital, Yoongi, Jihyun, and yourself moved into the new house for good. At your wishes, Yoongi retrieved your belongings from his old house before he had the place tore down. Nothing remained except for markings in the dirt where the house used to be. Anything of his that was destroyed and he wanted, he brought it again.
Once Jihyun was home, he was thrown a small party to meet all of the family. You were happy everyone was there and there to support the three of you. Jimin was released from the hospital, after beating the odds against him and making a full recovery. Unfortunately, your parents returned home a week later but you had scheduled a week where you and Jihyun would visit them. You also promised to send them pictures of Jihyun and every milestone he made.
After the party, Hyolyn surprised you with news of her own and also a positive pregnancy test. The two of you laughed and shed tears. You were going to be an aunt and Jihyun will have his first cousin to play with. You hoped her pregnancy wasn’t as stressful as yours and now that you weren’t, you planned on helping out as much as you could.
The three of you quickly settled into family life which wasn’t different from before except now you had a baby. Still wanting to be close to him, you had Jihyun’s crib, moved into the room that you shared. On one particular night, you heard the light cooing of Jihyun’s voice. The way he whined, you figured it was only a matter of time before he started crying and he certainly had a strong voice.
“Shh... otherwise you’re going to wake her up.” You heard Yoongi tell him. Opening your eyes, you found him rocking Jihyun in his arms, the moon lighting up his figure in the darkness. “Now, what is it? Are you hungry or do you just want daddy to hold you?” You watched for awhile until Jihyun’s voice could be heard again.
“I think he’s hungry.” You told him. “Give him to me, I’ll feed him.” Without much protesting, Yoongi handed him over before climbing back into bed.
“One thing is certain,” he began before throwing the blanket over his head. “He definitely has your impatience.”
You smiled, looking down at the baby in your arms as he ate. There were plenty of times in the night where you woke to the sounds of him crying only to find Yoongi already holding him. You would breastfeed him back to sleep and on other occasions, you pumped your milk into a bottle and had Yoongi feed him while you slept.
Work, for Yoongi, had returned to normal but he made sure not to spend too much time away from home. He had balanced work and his personal life; sometimes working from home while you were out and other times, rushing from work to get home to see you and Jihyun. Occasionally he took days off to spend time with the two of you.
Although you didn’t have to work, you still chose to for the simple fact that you didn’t enjoy staying at home twenty four-seven. You took Jihyun to the bakery to introduce him to the people you considered a second family. Everyone gushed over the baby and it made you laugh that when Jungkook held him, he spit up on him.
“I see the apple didn’t fall too far from the tree.“ he commented, wiping his clothes.
“What does that mean?” You questioned, trying to suppress your giggles.
“He’s rude, just like his mother; doesn’t appreciate something great in front of them.” He teased. “I saved his life and this is the thanks I get.” He pouted.
“Jihyun and I are very thankful and grateful for that day.” You smiled, giving him a smile and kiss on the cheek.
You were happy to learn that not only that business has been great but Jungkook had moved on from his crush on you and begun dating. During the days when there weren’t a lot of customers, you offered advice to him on where to take his girlfriend or what to buy her as gifts.
Yoongi’s parent’s, more specifically his mother, offered to watch Jihyun some night so you and Yoongi could have some alone time. Those nights ended great but you hated waking up in the morning and not seeing your angel. And even though Yoongi never voiced it, you knew he felt the same way. You had caught him asking his mother about Jihyun when he thought you were asleep on a few occasions.
Time had passed, a little too fast for your liking, and Jihyun had went from holding his head up and turning over to crawling to pulling himself up and now at thirteen months, he was trying to walk. You did a victory dance when his first words were “mama” instead of “dada” like Yoongi was trying to teach him. Crazy enough, you didn’t think being a parent was going to be as fun as it was, especially when you had Yoongi by your side. But with good days, there came bad days and days when Jihyun was sick or kept the two of you awake at night with constant crying.
And no matter how much the two of you disagreed, by the end of the day you both were back in love and the argument was long forgotten. You needed him just as much as Yoongi needed you. The two of you were better together than you were on your own and to prove that, you and Yoongi finally decided on a date for the wedding, settling for a breezy summer day.
When that day came, everything went as planned. Hyolyn’s and Matt’s beautiful baby girl was the flower girl with the help of your mother, who carried her. With a little assistance, Jihyun managed to walk down the aisle without dropping the rings he carried on a pillow. You stood next to your best friend and sister-in-law, staring at your soon-to-be husband, who looked absolutely stunning in his black tux. Yoongi stood alongside all three of his friends, he considered brothers. During the entire wedding, as well as the reception, Yoongi couldn’t keep his eyes or his hands off of you even though the two of you had a quickie in the limo before arriving to the venue. 
Life didn’t feel much differently than before, just that you were now officially someone’s wife. Min Yoongi’s wife. The infamous mobster that everyone was scared of was not only your son’s father but also your husband. Some days you wondered how it all came together but rather than think of the past, you had a lot to look forward to.
“Are you ready for your new life, Mrs. Min?” Yoongi whispered in your ear as he lied on top of you. It was the night of the wedding and with Jihyun with his parents for a week; it left plenty of time for you to spend as newlyweds.
You turned you head to kiss him. “I’m more than ready, Mr. Min.”
“Good,” He rolled you over on your back, kissing and sucking on your neck. “I think it’s time that Jihyun gets a sibling, don’t you agree?”
“Yes, Yoongi,“ you moaned with a tease. “It’s whatever you want.”
That night when you two made love, you became one. Whatever life had in store for you, couldn’t be that bad... As long as you had each other.
~
The End

Wank Wednesday: Hannibal Twitter Wars
Tumblr media
For this week's Wank Wednesday, we're talking about Hannibal Twitter Wars.
On 6 October 2020, Twitter fanartist enercarlate posted a NSFW Hannigram fanart of Hannibal giving a blowjob to Will. The same day, Hannibal showrunner Bryan Fuller liked the tweet and responded with "!!!".
Fuller is known for his interaction with fandom and with fanworks in particular, but his short response sparked a controversy big enough to be noticed by The Mary Sue, who later shared a dedicated article about this incidence.
Are you curious? Head over to Fanlore and learn more!

TOYAH ON BBC RADIO 4 WITH COLIN PATERSON 6.11.2017
Tumblr media
TOYAH: It's the most defensive script I've ever read. It's political. It's sexual. It's rude. It's abusive and it's shocking. COLIN: Toyah Willcox on the first ever stage adaptation of "Jubilee" 40 years after the late director Derek Jarman's film TOYAH: It is the first ever punk rock movie to be made. We shot it in a bombed out part of London, near Tower Bridge, which is now the most expensive real estate area in the world. So the whole kind of weirdness of what we have today in comparison to back then is actually addressed in the play. COLIN: In the original film Toyah played "Mad", a pyromaniac in a murderous girl gang. For the stage version at Manchester's Royal Exchange Theatre she has swapped roles, playing Elizabeth the 1st who time travels to see what has become of her country. The script has been updated and will be changed every day to reflect what's in the news. TOYAH: It's a very sexually political version of "Jubilee". There's seven murders, very graphic murders within the play. And I think about five full on sex scenes. I think we constantly need to be reminded that life isn't always about comfort and shopping. I think it's one of the cleverest things I've ever been in.
COLIN: However, during the final week of rehearsals, it was decided to cut the section of the original script where "Amyl Nitrate" explains her manifesto for life, and describes the Moors murderer and Myra Hindley as a "hero" and a "true artist" for realising her dreams. The speech was in the play until late on ... what changed?
Tumblr media
TOYAH: There's been discussion all along, group discussions, about whether that line should stay in. I think Derek Jarman put it in 40 years ago into the original film because of the shock factor and punks in the beginning did do things to shock. But as punk had its maturity and it developed ... for me punk took on a social responsibility and gave voice to those that were marginalised.   And I think today it undermines the whole play if in the opening scene there is homage to Myra Hindley. We all agreed as a group, who are performing in Manchester, that it was beyond disrespectful. I couldn't bear to even hear Myra Hindley's name. We did not want people going out of the theatre, not hearing the message of the brilliant politics within the play, because of this one line COLIN: You've had a remarkable career. There was the early 1980's, all the Top 10 singles and the Smash Hits awards. You did fims starring with Katharine Hepburn and Sir Laurence Olivier. Still, maybe, the work heard by the most people ... is the Teletubbies? TOYAH: Isn't that ironic? I put the top and the end voice on, it was a favour to a friend. The only time I needed security on the streets was during the arrival of Teletubbies. It was extraordinary! COLIN: It was just two lines you did? One at the start and one at the end? TOYAH: Yes, I wasn't even seen - it was just my voice. "The sun is setting in the sky. Teletubbies say goodbye."
COLIN: What would the punks in 1977 have made of you doing Teletubbies? TOYAH: I think they'd have loved it because I think Teletubbies was brilliantly surreal

Green Washing
Greenwashing, also called “green sheen”, is a form of spin in which green PR or green marketing is deceptively used to promote the perception that an organization’s products, aims or policies are environmentally friendly and healthy for us humans.
In 2009, over 2,219 products made green claims and 98% were guilty of greenwashing. Studies show that indoor cleaning products (surface sprays, bathroom disinfectants, dish soap, etc.) are the worst offenders when it comes to making baseless claims of health and sustainability.
One product from who call themselves ”… Organics” (l don’t want to name them as l may get sued) and they produce many products one of which are Sensitive skin wipes.
These wipes contain, among a long list (see below) METHYLISOTHIAZOLINONE:
Known human immune toxicant or allergen European SCCS Human skin toxicant or allergen – strong evidence Cosmetic Ingredient Review Assessments
METHYLCHLOROISOTHIAZOLINONE:
Banned for use in Europe and restricted for use in China and USA Restricted in cosmetics (recommendations or requirements) – use, concentration, or manufacturing restrictions – Japan – concentration limit in some types of cosmetics when combined with certain other ingredient(s) Japan’s Standards for Cosmetics
Other HIGH concerns: Irritation (skin, eyes, or lungs); Other LOW concerns: Ecotoxicology
Ingredient list of sensitive wipes: Water Sodium Laureth Sulfate Cocamidopropyl Betaine Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate Sodium Chloride Parfum (Fragrance) Glycerin Citric Acid Tetrasodium EDTA Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) Hydrolysed Wheat Protein
Extracts (apple, orange, grapefruit) Methylchloroisothiazolinone Methylisothiazolinone Dyes (CI 19140, CI 42090)
Another company is well known for their room deodorizers/fragrances, that often dispense automatically into closed quarters, and are used in aged care facilities. They advertise that their room fragrances are infused with essential oils… and look what else
Popular Room fragrance ingredients: (z)-3-hexenyl salicylate; 1,2,3,4,4.alpha.,7,8,8.alpha.-octahydro-2,4.alpha.,5,8.alpha.-tetramethyl-1-naphthyl formate; 2,6-dimethyl-7-octen-2-ol; 3-(o-ethylphenyl)-2,2-dimethylpropionaldehyde; 3,7-dimethyloct-6-enenitrile; 3.alpha.,4,5,6,7,7.alpha.-hexahydro-4,7-methano-1h-indenyl propionate; 3a,4,5,6,7,7a-hexahydro-1h-4,7-methanoinden-1-yl acetate; 4-(4-hydroxy-4-methylpentyl)cyclohex-3-ene-1-carbaldehyde; 4-tert-butylcyclohexyl acetate; acetyl hexamethyl tetralin; amyl cinnamal; benzyl acetate; butylphenyl methylpropional; citral; dipropylene glycol; ethyl trimethylcyclopentene butenol; geraniol; hexamethylindanopyran; hexyl cinnamal; hexyl salicylate; ionone; linalool; linalyl acetate; methyl anthranilate; methyl ionones; methylbenzyl acetate; methyldihydrojasmonate; pentadecalactone; tetramethyl acetyloctahydronaphthalenes*; tricyclo(5.2.1.02,6)dec-4-en-8-yl acetate
Please read the ingredients list before purchasing your products. A lot of these products are designed to look “Earthy”, with brown or green graphic elements on their packaging and use the word “organic” or “contains essential oils”. But it’s important to see what else it contains. A fabulous website to research ingredients is… https://www.ewg.org/skindeep/
