#hes never been particularly emotional available or even very present in my daily life

[saintbanglesthegazelle]

I promise you if you give people the benefit of the doubt, if you assume ignorance or misunderstanding instead of malice, if you make the effort to give and recieve clarity, if you listen to people's thoughts and explanations, you will see the world as so much less cruel than you had before. So much more loving. It's not easy, but it's so so important to do, for yourself and others

Seungmin’s eyes love to rest on you. 

That was an undoubtable fact in his life—one that he, himself, doesn’t even know how it started. Yet, the acknowledgement of this unknown didn’t bother him at all. If anything, it was a source of comfort for him; a way of reminding himself of the joy in living. To Seungmin, one thing was for certain: He was given the gift of sight to experience you in your entire beauty.

He first met you in a university lecture, where you simply happened to frequent the seat just a row behind and two chairs away from where he usually sat. Perhaps he was enamored from the very beginning. It was like his gaze would always find a way back to you whenever you were in his immediate vicinity, reminiscent of a magnet longing to cling to metal.

That was also the way he took in your presence as a whole. Seungmin was a man starved for knowledge, desperately clawing for anything he could get to broaden his desired expertise that was you. He particularly loved the way your eyes drooped whenever the lecture of the day bore you, as well as your tendency to make origami on available paper during the times you could care less to listen. The latter always ended up with you blinking endearingly after a successful craft, glancing around the people near you to figure out who to present it to.

Oh, how he wished he had been over there instead, happily receiving a paper star to keep. However, it was your friends that surrounded you on a daily, barely giving you time to be alone. And maybe you didn’t want to be alone—another thing about you that he’d like to discover the truth to. But he thought that until the day he somehow found himself stumbling into your life, he’d have to be grateful to your friends for making you shine the way you deserved every step of the way.

So, imagine his surprise when he finally got the chance to make a mark in the vast expanse of your world.

The opportunity came in the form of a group project with you; the catalyst in which his whole life began to change. Friendly introductions of obligation quickly turned into incessant strings of conversation, bringing the two of you closer. The sheer pace of the development was overwhelming. Seungmin never thought his presence bore enough weight for gravity to grab him by the neck and lock him in the system of the star that was you. 

It was a trip and a half, consisting of countless miles to lap around with seemingly no end. So much, that he feared falling out of your grace—to be like a passing asteroid who foolishly dreamt of becoming a planet. Seungmin was endlessly yearning to solidify his place in your world, just like he always wanted. And still, despite that all, he didn’t show it. He merely laughed when you laughed, stayed silent when you needed silence, and experienced anger on your behalf when you couldn’t show it for yourself. 

Because Kim Seungmin knew that you needed to be loved patiently.

Even throughout the tightrope of uncertainty he walked months on like his life depended on it, he never once made it seem like he was waiting on a move from you. If Seungmin wanted to be loved like a planet being discovered, he wanted to love you like the snow melted during the cusp of spring. 

Seungmin knew that even with the shows of your cheery demeanor, your heart still remained frosted over from your previous winters. That even when your fingers danced their way to intertwine with his, there was still that moment of hesitation. He was forever thankful that you caught him from falling when he did, refusing to let him disappear into the abyss. Yet, who was lighting up the skies of which you lay under to stare at each day?

He longed to give you a love that was true. One where he showed you how warmth creeped in with small trickles of heat, giving you enough time to decide whether you truly wanted it or not. Love that was considerate in the way that it willingly warned you of its presence, but in a way that cupped your cheeks and sang you lullabies. To love you gently as to not sully your shoes with messy, muddy soil of the ground peeking out from beneath the snow. 

To Seungmin, there was no greater gift than being able to be the sign of your spring.

“Baby?” You called out to him softly, a flash of concern twinkling behind your gaze. “Is anything wrong?”

Seungmin feels like he was just coaxed out of a trance, previously being too occupied studying the details of you at the moment, as if he hadn’t already spent the past hour doing just that. A string of golden celebration banners made its presence known in the corner of his eye, briefly acknowledging the once-a-year greeting printed on them. The slight smell of smoke fully brought him back to his senses, finally glancing down towards the cake with a small lit-up candle you were presenting him.

Right. It was his birthday today.

He chuckles, shaking his head. “No,” he replies truthfully. “Everything is perfect.” Your eyebrows scrunched in confusion, having trouble making sense of the situation. Seungmin has half a mind to think if you would forgive him if he tried to straighten it out with his thumbs as a tease.

“But, you’re not blowing out your candles,” you purse your lips in contemplation. He feels an unstoppable force creeping up to turn the corners of his mouth upwards. Did you even know just how much he loves you?

“I was just enjoying the view, that’s all.”

Your demeanor visibly brightens up. “Is the cake that pretty?” Was your smug question, clearly feeling proud of yourself. “I worked hard on that, you know?” 

Seungmin only smiles. Like he always does whenever it concerns you. That warm boyish grin he had paired with a certain fond look in his eyes that his friends never failed to point out just to fluster him into oblivion. But he lets them anyway. There was no way he could ever deny the truth of how strongly he felt for you.

“I know.” 

Because he always does. 

And as he leaned forward to feel the last heat of the flickering candle before it went out, he couldn’t help but think that the snow had finally melted. His wish had already come true.

“Happy birthday, Seungmin!”

Spring has come.

Editor’s note: this article is part of the Amerikan Musik: Fascism Ascendant in the USA collection on ninaillingworth.com. For further analysis of the chud rush insurrection attempt in Washington D.C. on January 6th, 2021, join my co-host Nick and I for the No Fugazi Podcast episode “In Between Days: Politics, Violence & Fascist F*ckery.”

Counting Coup

I must confess that I’ve never been particularly good at the “I told you so” essay; which is probably why I failed to capitalize on my work about Russiagate, despite being literally the only person I’m aware of who ultimately got the answer one hundred percent right. Furthermore, after roughly five years of writing about the rise of Americanized fascism through the lens of the objectively fascist Trump administration, I am at this point completely Trumped the f*ck out. I would very much like to pivot to critiquing the incoming neoliberal authoritarian Biden regime and their loyal muppets in the media; but neither the news cycle, nor contrarian faux-left analysts with equivocating hot takes will let me. 

All of which is to say that I find this ritual somewhat embarrassing, and this might come off as a little perfunctory. 

On June 6th, 2016, I published an essay formally stating that I thought Trump was himself, a fascist; although I’d certainly already implied as much in previous articles and on social media. At that point I was very concerned that Trump would win the upcoming election, but I wasn’t sure how much fascist crap he’d actually be able to do under the American system of government.  

By March 1st, 2017, I’d seen enough of Trump’s act to say his administration was enacting a fascist agenda and that it was time to ostracize and oppose those who supported that fascist agenda.

By August 30th, 2017, and in the wake of the deadly nazi riot in Charlottesville, I wrote that Trump was building an alliance of violent reactionary thugs, law enforcement officials and an objectively fascist Republican party to intimidate political opposition. I also warned that Trump and his Department of Justice would try to declare their protesting political opposition terrorists and use that threat to subvert civil liberties, erode democracy and install fascism.

I don’t want to simply list every article I wrote about Trump’s fascist presidency here, but along the way I wrote about liberals using fascism to punch left, corporate media complacency in the face of a fascist threat, the Trump DoJ’s objectively fascist attempts to criminalize J20 inauguration protesters as terrorists, the need to present a united front on the American left to oppose fascism, the GOP’s fascist attempts to rig the next presidential election, and literal f*cking concentration camps. If you’re up for a long, emotional and highly personal read, you can follow my entire saga of trying to warn people about the fascist nature of both Trump and the society he was presiding over, in this August 2020 essay on ninaillingworth.com.

In 2020, and after a rough patch in my personal life that happened to coincide with Trump going full-on Mussolini against Black Lives Matter activists protesting the police murder of George Floyd, and then “antifa terrorists,” I came back to write an essay definitively presenting the core evidence (up to that point) that Donald Trump was a fascist. Furthermore, in the same lengthy essay I mentioned above, I correctly analyzed how Trump would attempt to rig the election, correctly laid out the basic foundations of the right’s “legal” attempts to overturn the election in the wake of a Trump loss, and accurately predicted that if all that failed, he would summon the chuds and try to retain power by force. Crucially, I also pointed out that this strategy probably wouldn’t work, but couldn’t be ignored because of widespread right wing institutional support and the fact that even a crappy coup, is a very bad thing for a liberal democracy.

That fall, I wrote about Trump’s revenge killing, political assassination of an anti-fascist activist merely accused of a crime, about how corporate media had primed America for the fascist moment, and additionally worked on a five part No Fugazi Podcast series detailing every aspect of America’s long flirtation with fascism; during this podcast series, my co-host Nick and I also (repeatedly) predicted Trump would try to steal the election in the courts and then attempt to launch a doomed chud uprising when that inevitably failed.

Finally over that same time period and running into the post-election stages of the Swine Emperor’s presidency, I wrote a number of rebuttals and explainers; including pieces explaining what fascism is, why rich people are helping to install it now, why even stupid coups have consequences and have to be stopped before they erupt in chud violence, why it doesn’t matter that Trump isn’t exactly like Hitler, why it’s a serious problem that about a third of the country is done with democracy and now refuses to accept elections they don’t win, why fascist billionaires don’t need Trump specifically anymore, why fascism will survive the eventual fall of the Klepto Kaiser, and finally why the crypto-libertarian, contrarian “left” can sincerely blow their equivocating sympathizer nonsense out their collective butthole.   

Please also note that the vast majority of the essays above themselves contain literally hundreds of evidentiary citation links, and this was further supplemented by dozens and dozens of Twitter threads that have unfortunately been lost to history in the wake of my recent (permanent) Twitter suspension. 

In light of the fact that Trump is in fact a fascist, did in fact try to declare his political enemies terrorists, did in fact try to turn the army, Homeland Security, and chud vigilantes on those who opposed him, did in fact attempt to rig and then invalidate an election, and ultimately did inspire a chud insurrection designed (poorly) to overturn the results of that election, please allow me to declare complete and total victory while metaphorically asking my twitchy critics how my butt tastes. I could go on, but when you’ve left your opponents crying on Twitter about how the Apple Store de-platforming Parler is the real fascism, it’s best to just take the win gracefully and walk away from that wreckage.

A Jute Glute Riot

Given that I’m writing this on the morning of January 12th, literally thousands of articles about the Capitol Hill riot itself have already been written, and I just spent eighty minutes breaking down Trump’s desperate chud rush insurrection on the last episode of No Fugazi, I’m not going to waste time on blow by blow coverage of the pathetic uprising on January 6th, in Washington, D.C.

Readers who are looking for what I felt was a good, in-the-moment examination of the actual riot are encouraged to check out this January 6th article from The Daily Poster:

The Insurrection Was Predictable by David Sirota

While I think Sirota’s piece does a very good job of hinting at the larger coordination involved in this event, I also feel it’s important to note here that counterfactual arguments designed to minimize this event are sheer and utter bunk. This was a planned insurrection, attended by (ex) members of the military and American law enforcement, aided by Capitol Hill Police and the Department of Defense, funded by rich fascists, inspired by right wing media, as well as an openly fascist Republican Party and the goddamn president of the United States; this wasn’t harmless, people literally died and members of Trump’s fascist mob clearly had designs on committing politicized acts of violence against their perceived enemies.

Look, does it burn my backside that sh*t-tier neoliberal ghouls who enabled Trump’s fascist agenda at every turn, are now publicly patting themselves on the back for recognizing Trump’s fascist intentions all along? You betcha, Sparky. But my feelings don’t stop reality from being real; this was a doomed, stupid coup attempt, but even stupid coup attempts have consequences. 

I couldn’t spare a single tear for a billionaire fascist who lost his Twitter account, or neo-nazi chuds getting chased off social media, but the crypto-libertarian apologists among us are correct when they say the incoming neoliberal authoritarian regime will weaponize the Jan 6th, 2021 chud rush riot to attack left wing dissent. In fact, I predicted that part too; it just has no bearing on the reality that Trump is a fascist, Trumpism is fascism and what we just saw was a failed coup attempt; reality doesn’t really care how any of that makes you feel, folks.

There are dark days ahead for all of us at this point, and while the events of last week are almost certainly the end of the line for the Klepto Kaiser himself, American fascism isn’t going anywhere and the sh*tlibs are about to bring the hammer down on their real enemies - the burgeoning Pig Empire left.

The sooner we can collectively look in the mirror, accept the reality of what just happened and stop fighting over objective facts, the sooner we can get focused on winning “the war between us” against the incoming Biden Regime. Or, folks on the contrarian faux-left could keep carrying water for Josh f*cking Hawley instead, I guess. 

Game, blouses; now tell Mike Tracey to get back in his f*cking hole.

On suicide prevention hotlines, and a whole lot of my brain.

Seriously, warning. It’s not good stuff. Writing it down is hard, but it makes me feel a little better, a little bit stronger

Ok

So to rehash my train of thought, I’ve always avoided calling suicide hotlines, even at my lowest. I have considered calling them - I’ve even considered calling the emergency line for a ride to the hospital before. There are 2 reasons for that I’ve not done it, and likely never will, I think

1st, and definitely the ‘lesser’ of the two causes, is that I expect them to be unable to help (even though I know that's fairly unlikely and illogical). To the outside world (with some exception of being here on tumblr, not getting into that) I tend to present a fairly appropriate mask. Even when I’m pretty low, i can put on this facade that makes me socially acceptable, if maybe sometimes distant. My mother doesn't even know I’m doing it most of the time.

Even when I know people love me and want to help me, I struggle to open up. Displaying emotion like that is really, really hard for me. it makes me feel weak and incompetent, like I’m broken and, most impactfully, that I’m not good enough. It’s very “boys shouldn’t cry” mentality, I’m aware.

I remember a mini-vacation I took with a few mates, early on when i started uni, not long after a particularly bad bout of my illness. I was taking a nap - we’d had a long night, and I’m was an early riser, so I took an afternoon nap while most of them went to the beach. except for a couple of them. The first, one of the loveliest girls I know, incredibly kind and also mentally ill (so she knows at least in her own way what I’m going through). The second, a guy who at the time, I wasn’t amazingly good friends with - he’s very abrasive and uncouth on the surface, but once you got past that he is an incredibly genuine and good person (we’re much better friends now). They were having a chat while everyone else was away, and I had just woken up. They didn’t know that of course, I was still lying in bed down the hallway. And they wound up talking about me, and worrying about me.

It was really heartwarming to hear. And I’ve never let them know I heard this. And i’ve never truly turned to them while I’m down. And that’s just 2 of my mates.

And my mum - I know she’d support me through anything, no matter what it took. She’s an excellent mother, and tried her hardest, even when she was so ridiculously overworked that I literally can’t comprehend how she managed (Undertaking a Masters degree on top of having already completed several previous degress, full time job that involved country wide clients and commitments, raising us twins, and basically doing almost everything a SAHM would do on top of all of that since my dad is a little bit useless in comparison). It wasn’t always perfect, sure (there are definitely some traumatic memories there), but she’s still my hero. My dad wouldn’t be able to support me in that way quite so readily, but I know he’d try to make it work - he loves me in his own way. Pretty sure he’s a little bit like me in some of the emotional capability of brain development. He wasn’t a good father, but he wasn’t a bad father.

So there are people I could reach out to who are closer than a suicide prevention hotline. And I can’t even reach out to them.

What the hell kind of position would I have to be in to put my thoughts through a phone? A stranger? That’s almost unfathomable to me sometimes. It’s probably going to make actual long-term useful therapy really difficult

Yes. I’m aware of the irony of typing all this up on a semi-public blogging website.

But moving onto point 2, which is by far the more morbid, if I told any of them what I actually felt and went through, I’d probably end up locked away and under supervision.

I first experienced actual suicidal ideation when I was 13. It became a recurring thing by the time I was 14. By 15, it was monthly, and I developed what was probably a gaming addiction to help cope (in my final 2 years of high school I put in 2000 hours on a single game alone, let alone the other hundreds of hours spent on other games and watching tv/movies), along with my first actual ‘plan’. By 17, weekly was the theme.

By the time I was in my 2nd semester of uni at 18, it was daily.

I’m 23 now. It’s been daily since. If you define a ‘good day’ by a day which doesn’t involve the thought of dying, I have maybe a couple a month. The plan had evolved into something more concrete, reliable, and painless by this point - if I decide to go out, I’m out.

It’s why I refuse to have sleeping pills available, despite even my worst bouts of insomnia.

But I don’t want to go out that way. No matter how much my brain tells me I should. I don’t want to hurt my friends and family. I don’t want them to have to deal with that. I don’t want to seem weak, incompetent, broken, not good enough.

I still experience suicidal ideation daily. I have an active plan for if I decide to go out. And if I told that to a medical professional, they’d lose their fucking head. To most of them, I seem like I’m fine on the outside - maybe I just have a minor case or something. But I also know I’m about as bad as it gets before it’s too bad. I just have a bit more fortitude than some, and a crippling fear of disappointing others (hello other traumatic problems that I’m not going into right now). Part of the hotline script asks some of these questions.

I’m fighting, but its hard. It’s really, really hard. And sometimes I’m just so very tired of it.

I didn’t expect to live past 20. I honestly don’t really expect to live past 25 sometimes. I avoid making long term plans or thinking about actual futures. I tend to just live life as it comes now a days (this has definitely led to many occasions of Current Me hating Past Me. Very little impulse control. One such an occasion is right now as I experience painful indigestion because of eating really very badly the other day)

My only plans currently are finish my degree - I’m already in my 6th year of a 3 year degree, with current predictions (without setbacks) land me finishing at the end of next year. And after that, I think I might spend some time getting a diploma in teaching (a 1 year course). There’s also a nebulous idea of doing something with singing (could be, who knows...)

I am broken. I can’t change that. Fuck, it’s why I’m never passing on my genes, ever. As much as I think I would enjoy having kids, that I want to be and could be a better father than mine was, they will never be genetically mine (adoption or whatever would be the go to route there - also, don’t @me about eugenics, this is my choice). I never want someone to experience what I have to experience, and at least part of that is my DNA

But that doesn’t mean I’m not good enough.

And it doesn’t mean I deserve to be locked away and under supervision

Picar(d)esque III

‘About the amusing and exhausting scrutiny made in the library of our ingenious hidalgo’

Transcendental Readings

I read (or heard?) somewhere recently that show runner Michael Chabon thinks that physical books cannot be improved upon. The relative merits of the statement are, well, debatable, but the sense that books are meaningful possessions? That I can get behind. Taken as flotsam and jetsam of an individual’s life and identity, how they’ve been acquired can be just as significant as the objects themselves, and, if we accept that existence precedes essence,  the external interpretations of others shape their meanings too. It’s what makes books, in all their materiality, such useful props and set-dressing - even in a futuristic context where they might be relics. 

Maybe the purpose of the books is specific, to convey the character’s Intellect, but part of the fun of art comes from what is constructed in the space between artist, object and audience. In that spirit, and because I can never resist the temptation to dissect someone based on their reading material, here are some of my impressions of Rios and his books; and how it influences my reading of Star Trek: Picard.

The narrative directs us to read many of the items in Rios’ quarters as having enigmatic and painful emotional associations, but quite apart from that aspect, the record player and nineteenth and twentieth century philosophical tracts are a conundrum. It’s a bit of entertaining (pre?)nostalgia for the audience (coded, we may reasonably assume, as a specific age group) that Raffi misidentifies one long obsolete bit of technology as another, but in-universe is owning it a deeply esoteric thing to do? Is it the twenty-fourth century equivalent of nowadays casually owning and playing an actual renaissance or baroque instrument; and having original bindings of Montaigne, Bacon and Hobbes lying around as reading copies?* Does it carry the same connotations of privilege, or, did mass production mean these items are much more ubiquitous than might be expected four centuries later? If they’re replicated versions, can you tell? When it comes to books, what did/does this mean for crafts/trades such as paper-making, printing, and book-binding? What does all this mean for how modern society handles and values (historic) objects? [The questions about social and historical processes are always there...] 

Philosophy 101: The Meaning(lessness) of Life 

But what of the books themselves? Well, they’re largely absurd, philosophically-speaking, though the titles are nicely evocative too. In their way, each grapples with strategies for confronting the apparent meaningless nature of existence. Kierkegaard and Unamuno covering the issue from a theistic (Christian) framework - which, how does Trek-contemporaneous society and thought approach that? The Camus works arguably touch on questions of belonging and how to exist as a moral individual within social systems. (Also: L’étranger? Dealing with the consequences of apparently casual fatal violence? - I see wotcha did there, show... ) Which brings me inexorably to Hemingway. Interpretations are as much conditioned by our own prejudices and priorities as anything else, which is why my main reaction to Death in the Afternoon is ¡Manda carallo, fillo seco do deserto! a combination of revulsion and bafflement.  I think it will take an entire post to dissect the whole *sweeping gesture* pan-hispanic representation thing going on with Rios (and another one on where it fits in with the show’s Quixotic complex), but the short version is that it’s very, dry, and very Castilian, and I am very perplexed.

‘his book’s ingenious enough: it sets out to achieve something, but doesn’t bring anything to a conclusion’

Cervantes’ little ironic self-reference touches on what I see as some of the implications for the show of its explanation-of-thematic-thesis-via-book-jacket strategy. In this instance, the set dressing is very practical: lay down the breadcrumbs and, in following them, the audience will fill in the gaps (which, yes, I get it, that’s what I’m doing).I’ve mentioned before that this can be enriching, but the mere presence of these points doesn’t mean the show has had anything particularly deep to say about them. Inviting judgement based on book-covers, feels like a high risk stratagem for Star Trek: Picard as a whole. 

From the admittedly little I’ve read, it seems as though the show runners want to dig into deep philosophical questions and given their performances so far, I do think the cast could do some compelling stuff if they had meatier writing to work with. Still, without backing it up in the writing, it comes off as hollow at best, and pretentious at worst. People will experience a narrative how they want to or how they’ve learnt to. By way of example, having one character wink at how another constitutes an archetype (qv. ‘Broody Existentialist Spaceman’) does not mean you’ve achieved something meaningful with it. On this point, it seems that Hemingway has something useful to contribute:

[Here I feel compelled to note, sadly without much surprise, that the collection contains not a single woman, and is thoroughly white and Western European. If it’s included as a jumping off point for viewers to explore the subject, and we’re to believe that life has improved in the future, why not crack into present-day references? I may be wrong, but I think it worked out OK for The Good Place. It’s either that or we have to accept, depressingly, that several centuries on and Earth-based academic study still needs to #citepoc #citewomen ... ]

‘he’s more conversant with adversity than with verse’

Okay, methodological reservations aside, what do the books allow me to read into Rios-the-character, besides being a, mmm, semi-functional means of processing his trauma? Indulging in my personal fantastical catnip of Rios Profundo: he’s found a late twentieth-century university syllabus from somewhere and is doing a meta-reading to pick apart the understanding/study of existentialism and absurdism in that period. Look, there’s not a lot going on in space, as we have been told. Or, less outlandishly, he’s an enthusiast in want of some better directed reading. Existentialism, from what we’ve seen of Rios, is useful as a means of explaining the breakdown of his mental stability but is not great at providing him with a path to live by. For that, I think he needs a greater allowance of fiction, and poetry, in his daily study. As to that, well, I’ve even got a list of books that would double up as on-the-nose meta-referential props flesh out his character...

(yoonseok) - trust my heart when it beats for you

ao3:  (x)

Summary: Jung Hoseok has had an awkward Thing for Min Yoongi for four years of his school life. He is certain that the only thing that gets in the way of them and everlasting love is the fact that Min Yoongi doesn’t know he exists, but that all changes due to one drunken text message: a pick-up line. Ready to flee to another country under a false identity in mortification, he finds himself ruining their blossoming friendship and confessing when Yoongi asks why Hoseok had tried to flirt with him. However, things take a turn after his confession when Yoongi starts to (awkwardly) flirt back.

Pairings: Yoonseok, Taekook and Namjin

Chapters: (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9), (10), (11), (12), (13), (14), (15), (16), (17), (18), (19), (20), (21), (22), (23), (24), (25), (26), (27), (28)

Chapter Twenty-Nine -  are you playing my heart? tearing the strings like a harp

Hoseok couldn’t sleep that night, images and rampant thoughts paraded through his mind. It were as if pictures of Yoongi had been nailed into every crevice of his brain, every time he closed his eyes he saw Yoongi smiling back at him from across the table of the restaurant with a cream moustache decorating his upper lip.

The first thing he had done after arriving back home was paying an emergency visit to his computer, smacking at the keys to type in every variant of ‘how to know when you love someone’ he could possibly think of.

The results were pretty much the same on each website: ‘you think about them too much’, and ‘you want to see them as much as possible’. It was at this point his heart was on the verge of giving out as he felt he could relate to every point. Somehow he was guided towards a flashy website which listed exactly what he wanted to know: signs you’re in love with somebody.

1. They are the best part of your day.

This one was a given; Hoseok awaited for nothing more than to see Yoongi on a daily basis, and if he couldn’t see him then texting or calling was the next best thing.

2. They are the first person that you think about.

Hoseok frowned in concentration and recalled the last few weeks. When he woke up what did he think about? Breakfast. Lessons for today. Yoongi. Oh. He bit his lip and continued to the third point.

3. You prioritise them above your own needs.

Yet again, this was fairly obvious. Surely if you liked someone this was a given? Hoseok would do anything to prioritise Yoongi’s happiness, as Yoongi’s joy was also Hoseok’s.

4. You would do anything for them.

This corresponded very much with the third point, Hoseok thought. There wasn’t much he wouldn’t sacrifice for Yoongi.

5. You are never afraid to express your feelings for them in public.

Hoseok recalled the events earlier today, him wrapping his arms around Yoongi’s neck in the middle of a crowded street and feeling Yoongi’s hair tickle his cheeks. He remembered entwining their fingers together and squeezing Yoongi’s hand. He still felt Yoongi’s lips on his as they kissed goodbye after they went separate ways when departing from the train station. He would never feel ashamed of being with Yoongi. Sometimes he considered climbing to the rooftops with a megaphone and announcing his love- like for Yoongi. But, then again, that would be dramatic, even for him.

6. You love their imperfections.

Hoseok read the sentence and then the description. He cast his mind back but found nothing, did Yoongi even have any imperfections? He leant back in his chair and stared up at the ceiling. What even counted as an imperfection? Maybe something that Yoongi wasn’t comfortable with? So... Letting people in? Maybe being insecure? But Hoseok didn’t consider that as Yoongi’s weakness, Yoongi was just more guarded than other people and there was nothing wrong with that. Hoseok concluded that if Yoongi did have any imperfections, he would love them either way, and then he moved on. It was more than nerve-wracking, he was close to the end and hadn’t disagreed with any point yet.

7. You think long-term about your future with them.

Hoseok shifted on his chair and then realised why he was so uncomfortable; he still had all of his layers of clothes on. He shrugged his coat off and then contemplated. The closest he had gotten to thinking about his future with Yoongi was their first date and what he had planned for it, he was even hoping that if it went well then it would be up to Yoongi to plan for their second date. Hoseok wondered how many dates they would end up having before they had to part for university. University. What if Yoongi found somebody else? No, he couldn’t worry about that now, he had much more pressing matters at hand.

If they were still together after university and had endured hardships and struggles but felt more strongly for each other than ever before, Hoseok would want Yoongi to be a permanent part of his life more than he did now. He envisioned them living together, and a picture swam into his mind effortlessly. A picture of waking up early on the weekends to cook Yoongi breakfast and surprise him with breakfast in bed, or sleeping in late together and then commentating over a crappy reality TV show. He considered pets, not a cat but a dog – Yoongi owned a dog.

Hoseok thought about the lavish date nights where he could finally afford to pay for the finest food and wine, but still nothing would compare to Yoongi. Yoongi was priceless, no cost would ever be enough to cherish him how he deserved to be treasured.

So, it was him, Yoongi and their dog living together in a nice apartment in the city, or the countryside – wherever Yoongi wanted. It was almost as if they were a family. Almost. Hoseok regarded the prospect of children, adoption, of course, but maybe surrogacy? He didn’t think too much about the details, he focussed instead on what Yoongi would be like as a father. He would be sweet with their children, one boy and one girl, most definitely. Reading stories to them outstretched on a fluffy carpet, taking them out for walks or play fighting with them. The image was perfection, imagining Yoongi healthy and happy, and healthy and happy with him, nonetheless.

Hoseok wanted it more than anything.

He zoned back into the present and read the seventh point again, then he cursed. It had tricked him! If he hadn’t thought much about the future before, he most definitely had now.

8. You become a better person because of them.

Oh, most definitely. Before he met Yoongi properly, he tended to be rash and impulsive, jumping into things – like hobbies or friendships – that he didn’t particularly feel anything for. After opening up to Yoongi and realising how fragile emotions could be, Hoseok wanted to become a person who cared deeply for others. He wanted to help people in any way he could instead of worrying about himself, and that was Yoongi’s influence.

9. Your feelings are unconditional.

Hoseok snorted at this point as he remembered the feeling of jealousy running amok through him when he confronted Yoongi about Jinsoo. Even if he had been livid at the situation and overwhelmingly confused, his feelings remained strong throughout. It was one of the reasons why he couldn’t bear picturing Yoongi with another guy.

In such a short amount of time, he and Yoongi had been through so much together. It felt like they had been with each other for seven years instead of a month.

10. They are your best friend.

This point was slightly trickier; Hoseok considered a few people his best friends, like Taehyung, Seokjin and Jimin because they had known him the longest. Yoongi was everything and more. Yoongi understood him to the point where it was slightly disconcerting and left him to wonder whether Yoongi could read his mind. They had bonded in such a short space of time it seemed almost impossible, but here they were. It were as if it was meant to be, like Yoongi had been made for him and him for Yoongi.

So, yes. Yoongi was his best friend, and everything else around it.

Yoongi was his everything.

Hoseok scrolled down the page, pressing down hard on his mouse, but to no avail. There were no more points, no more lists. It was over. The verdict was obvious, that’s what the website informed him, if the reader could relate to every point then... It was confirmed.

He shut down his computer and hurriedly changed into his pyjama’s with fumbling fingers and a numb brain. He climbed into bed, pulling the covers over his head and pinching his eyes shut.

It was far too early to claim that he was in love with Yoongi, surely. They had only been together for... Maybe a month? But what about the time before that where they both harboured feelings for each other but did nothing to act on it? Did that count?

Hoseok groaned from under his bedcovers and turned on his side, his back to the wall. He had liked Yoongi for a far greater period of time than Yoongi had liked him, he needed to remember that. Seven years he had had a crush on Yoongi, he was certain that was enough time for a crush to grow into liking someone, and then the months that he had spent with Yoongi surely accounted for this like to grow into love?

But, if he loved Yoongi, what did it mean? There was no way he could tell the other, it would be too soon. They hadn’t even been on their first date yet, so for Hoseok to rock up and confess his undying love would be met with a disbelieving laugh. No, Hoseok couldn’t tell Yoongi, not yet anyway. But how long would he have to keep his heart buttoned?

Sighing in impatience, he decided to push it from his mind for now and hope that the restless stirring in his heart would cease. He settled on going to sleep and taking each day as they came, if he was really that worried about it, he could always talk to Seokjin about it. Seokjin would surely know what to do. All he needed to do was not think about Yoongi and therefore he would fall asleep.

Hoseok lay vividly awake the whole night.

It was six in the morning when Hoseok messaged Seokjin and an hour went by when Seokjin eventually replied and agreed to call.

“Hey, Jin,” Hoseok greeted, his voice quiet as he was trying not to awake his sister who was in the room opposite his.

“Morning, ‘Seok. May I ask as to why I have the honour of receiving your call?” Seokjin’s voice sounded optimistic and a coil of tension unwound in Hoseok’s body upon hearing a familiar, friendly voice.

“Well,” Hoseok began and then stopped uncertainly.

“Well?” Seokjin prompted.

“I need to ask you something. Something that I don’t know if you’ll be comfortable with,” Hoseok explained, flopping down on his bed from where he was pacing around his room. Seokjin hadn’t confided in him when Namjoon had asked him out, so he wasn’t sure whether Seokjin would even answer his question.

“Oh, wow. Now, that sounds interesting,” Seokjin responded. “You can ask me, ‘Seok. Feel free. May I ask if this has something to do with your lovely Yoongi?”

Hoseok flushed and was extremely thankful that Seokjin couldn’t see him. “No.” Oh, god, he was being so obvious. He cleared his throat and tried to recover himself, “no, it’s not to do with Yoongs. It’s... Namjoon, actually.”

There was a loud intake of air from the end of the line. “Hoseok. Is this your way of telling me that you and ‘Joon are having an affair?”

Hoseok snorted and rolled his eyes. He flicked his eyes to the sky outside of the window. It was a dull sort of blue. “Oh no, you’ve caught me! I was just so enticed by his poetry, I couldn’t hold back-”

Seokjin cut him off with a burst of ear-piercing laughter. Hoseok winced and pulled the phone from his ear, only returning it to its previous position once there was silence on Seokjin’s line. “No, no, it’s not like that. I just wanted to... How are you and ‘Joon? Are you happy?”

Seokjin hummed, as if he were intrigued. “Of course, ‘Seok. Why are you asking? Is it because of the poetry? He told me that he’s fine with all of you knowing about it even if you don’t like it, he said that the only thing that matters is that I do.”

A smile crept onto Hoseok’s face. Namjoon was such a romantic. “I see, but it’s not about that, Jin. I mean... Are you guys serious?”

There was silence, and then an exhale that sounded suspiciously like an, “oh!”

“Are you okay?” Hoseok inquired.

“Oh, yeah, yeah,” Seokjin reassured. “‘Are we serious’, huh? What do you mean by that?”

“Well...” Hoseok struggled, his tongue refused to get the words out. “I mean, are you guys thinking about your future?”

“Together?”

“Mm,” Hoseok confirmed, his heart staggered in his chest, awaiting for Seokjin’s next words.

“Well, yeah, we have,” Seokjin admitted. His tone was quieter, shy. It was quite cute. “I’d say we’re pretty serious. In all the relationships I’ve been in, none of them have been as supportive as Namjoon. He knows me, and I know him.”

“Do you love him?” Hoseok’s heart ceased beating when there was a pause.

“Of course,” Seokjin affirmed, his voice louder and assured. There was no hesitation. It was amazing. Hoseok’s heart fluttered at the declaration.

“Have you told him?”

“Yes, of course. It’s something that he needs to know.” A cesspool of guilt gurgled in his stomach. “Why are you asking?” Hoseok was silent. “Is... Is this to do with Yoongi?”

Hoseok opened his mouth but only a strained sound came out. He regretted every decision he had made this morning as he heard Seokjin audibly gasp.

“Oh, ‘Seok, that’s great! That’s... That’s really something! When did you realise?”

And because he had nothing else to say, he deflected the question: “When did you realise?”

“Me?” Seokjin questioned, his voice still coated in excitement. “It was at the beginning of the university year. I realised that nothing would be as immense as it is being with him, and I realised that I wanted to be with him always. Now, what about you?”

Hoseok’s heart stung upon hearing Seokjin’s confession. The image of Yoongi rippled through his mind at those relatable words. “I... Last night, I think.” Seokjin cooed and he began to panic. “But, Jin, it’s too soon! I can’t tell him, we’ve only been together for about a month, I can’t-”

“Calm down,” Seokjin instructed. “You’ve liked Yoongi longer than a month though, haven’t you? So, it’s understandable. Now, about telling him – you don’t have to. Not yet. If you do, he might feel like you expect him to say it back. I’d wait, and when it’s the right time, you’ll tell him.”

A wave of dizzying relief washed over him but was quickly diminished by a new surge of menacing panic tearing through him. “But how will I know when it’s the right time?”

Seokjin blew out air. “It’s hard to explain... You’ll just know. You can’t really plan to say it, it’s got to come naturally. Just don’t let it eat you up, ‘Seok. You don’t have to worry about it. You’ve got Yoongi, haven’t you? He likes you back and you’re happy. Just enjoy your time together. It’ll be fine, it always works out in the end.”

Hoseok prayed that Seokjin was right.

The week flew by in a series of classes and lectures from his form tutor about the different types of courses to apply for and which universities specialised in what. By Friday, Hoseok was more than exhausted, he was on the brink of collapsing. He had no idea what he wanted to spend three to four years of his life studying, although he achieved well in certain subjects he didn’t feel particularly passionate towards any of them.

The only thing he could imagine doing for three or four years of his youth was dance. The only dream he really had ever since he was little was becoming a professional dancer. But there were so many career branches he wouldn’t even know where to begin, and he didn’t want to think about it too technically; he just liked how easily dance came to him. It was an art and was the passion of his soul.

He had collapsed onto his desk chair and had booted up his computer when he received a message on his phone.

Min Yoongi: hey, Seok. I’m looking forward to tomorrow even though I have no idea what’s going on.

Hoseok smiled and then caught a glimpse of his reflection in the PC monitor. His eyes sparkled and a grin had taken his face hostage. Is this what being in love looked like? Eternal happiness?

Jung Hoseok: heyy yoongs :) Jung Hoseok: ahahah don’t worry just trust me on this! Jung Hoseok: or don’t Jung Hoseok: now im thinking about it im not sure if youre gonna like it Jung Hoseok: but you should do!

Min Yoongi: I didn’t think we’d be doing this tonight Min Yoongi: This is what you do to me, Seok

(You called Min Yoongi)

(Min Yoongi answered)

“Hey, baby. Ready to moan for me?”

It was half past eleven in the morning and Yoongi was standing outside his door wrapped up in a coat and scarf. Hoseok had peered at him through the peephole in awe and when opening the door he couldn’t resist any longer and pulled Yoongi in for a hug.

Yoongi let out a noise of surprise upon his nose colliding with Hoseok’s neck but eventually relaxed in Hoseok’s arms. Hoseok breathed in and felt his eyes shudder in their sockets when his nostrils were graced with Yoongi’s scent, the smell of lemon-scented shampoo and the musk from feather pillows. He started swaying Yoongi from side to side and laughed when Yoongi muttered into his neck for him to stop but didn’t make a move to pull away.

“I’ve missed you,” Hoseok admitted into Yoongi’s ear, clutching Yoongi tighter to his chest to feel Yoongi’s warmth underneath all of his layers.

“You saw me just yesterday,” Yoongi replied. Hoseok could feel him smile into his neck.

“You know what I mean,” Hoseok responded, pressing his lips to the helix of Yoongi’s ear which was touched pink from the cold. Adorable. He released Yoongi, who was smiling softly, and took a step back, inviting Yoongi into his house.

“I was wondering when you were going to let him go.”

Hoseok almost jumped out of his skin. He turned in horror and was met with the unnerving sight of his mother beaming at him from the bottom of the staircase. “Mum!” He called in surprise. “How long have you been-?”

“Long enough,” she cut over him effortlessly. She walked over to Yoongi and bowed. “It’s so nice to meet you, I’m Hoseok’s mother, and you are...?”

“Min Yoongi,” Yoongi bowed in return. “It’s nice to meet you, too. Thank you for letting me into your home.”

“Well, it’s not in me to let someone so close to my son stand outside and freeze,” she joked lightly. She kept smiling. It was like the time when dad had told that one stupid joke that reminded her of their ‘teenage love’ and she hadn’t been able to stop laughing for a solid five minutes.

Yoongi shifted, his smile faltering, not used to being the centre of attention. Hoseok had never wanted to kiss him so badly in his life. But, unfortunately, he had to refrain from doing so.

“Well, we’re gonna go now, so I’ll see you later,” Hoseok hinted heavily but his mum ignored him, like he should have known she would.

“Come,” she moved to the kitchen and gestured for them to follow. Hoseok cast an apologetic look to Yoongi who merely smiled, ‘it’s fine’.

She sat them at the dining table and perched opposite them. Her soft brown eyes slid from Hoseok’s tense face to Yoongi’s uncertain one. Hoseok watched her inhale, and then exhale. She leant in and cupped her face with her hands as if she were about to divulge them with the latest gossip. “Tell me. Are you two dating?”

Hoseok choked on air and started to splutter, Yoongi’s hand appeared on his back and patted him lightly. He almost wished he choked on his own tongue; he knew he had gone an unsightly shade of red due to mortification. How had his mum known the truth? He had never even mentioned Yoongi to her to avoid suspicion. It was incredibly embarrassing when parents knew about your love life, he had heard from various girls he sometimes chatted to.

His mum watched him until his throat opened again and he had nodded at Yoongi to reassure him that he was not going to choke again anytime soon. “So, I’m guessing that’s a yes,” she confirmed, her eyes dancing with – if Hoseok wasn’t imagining it – amusement.

She turned to Hoseok, lines creasing on her forehead as she frowned. “You should have told me, Hobi. It’s a massive deal when your children become romantically involved with someone.” A sense of shame came upon him and he averted his eyes. She moved onto Yoongi. “How long have you been dating, dear?”

“About a month now,” Yoongi answered. His voice was soft, delicate. Hoseok reached for his hand underneath the table and felt a shudder ripple through him when Yoongi gripped back.

“Do your parents know?”

Yoongi dropped his gaze and then shook his head. “No. I’m sorry. I should tell them.”

Hoseok looked back at his mum, the lines etched on her forehead were less visible now. “It’s fine. I understand that it can be overwhelming, but you can’t hide it forever. I don’t mind you seeing each other as long as it’s not getting in the way of your studies; I know how important this year is for you.”

She was smiling again. “So, enough of that. Where are you going today? Hobi, here, hasn’t told me anything.”

Yoongi smiled back at her and then glanced briefly at Hoseok. “He hasn’t told me either.”

Hoseok laughed and leant into Yoongi. “It’s a surprise! I’m not being mean!” He exclaimed. His mum chuckled at him.

“So, it’s a date then?” She looked from Yoongi to Hoseok, her eyes sparkling and smile wide.

“Yeah, it’s our first one,” Hoseok confessed, glancing at Yoongi and smiling at him reassuringly. Yoongi quirked his lips into a grin and squeezed his hand underneath the table. Hoseok’s heart burst and gushed crimson adoration.

“Oh, how exciting!” His mum rose from the table, her eyes wide. “I mustn’t disturb you then. I hope you boys have an amazing time!” She blessed them with her words and with one last smile, she bowed and exited, disappearing up the stairs.

There was an awkward silence which was quickly broken by Yoongi. “Your mum is pretty.”

Hoseok raised an eyebrow at him, his lips splitting into a bigger smile. Yoongi stared back at him evenly before saying: “You look like her.”

Min Yoongi, his boyfriend, had just indirectly called him pretty.

Hoseok would be lying if he said that his heart didn’t flutter madly and a frantic blush invaded his face.

A smile grew on Yoongi’s face as he surveyed Hoseok’s reaction, and then he leant in and kissed him on the mouth. Yoongi’s full and textured lips caught him off guard, but he fell into the kiss happily.

Hoseok wanted to push Yoongi onto the table and lean over him, taking in every inch of his body. But he stopped himself. He’d save that for Sunday.

“Where are we going?” Yoongi asked for the seventeenth consecutive time after they piled off yet another train.

Hoseok bit his lip and scanned the station looking for a map. When he found one, he grabbed hold of Yoongi’s coat sleeve and pulled him over to it. Hoseok compared the map to the one on his phone and he felt relief pool through his veins. After many errors in navigation he had finally found where the event was taking place and hadn’t disappointed Yoongi - so he wasn’t a complete failure.

“‘Seok, do you even know where we’re going?” Yoongi asked dubiously, his eyes tracing over the multi-coloured lines that made up the underground on the map.

“Of course I do!” Hoseok exclaimed, hoping that Yoongi wouldn’t catch the relief in his voice. Yoongi shot him A Look which roughly translated to, ‘you are the worst liar’. Hoseok laughed and trailed his hand down Yoongi’s wrist to meet the palm of his hand. Yoongi reciprocated the action and locked his fingers around Hoseok’s. “Now, come on, it’s this way!”

Hoseok led Yoongi to the main exit. He saw Yoongi reading the sign in confusion before he pulled Yoongi away and dashed down the street, praying that the doors hadn’t closed.

“Hoseok!” Yoongi called to him. “Why are we running?”

Hoseok couldn’t spare the breath to answer him and practically swung Yoongi around a sudden corner, they raced past a few more buildings until the music hall swam into place. It was lit up by bright blue lights and Hoseok pulled Yoongi towards the entrance.

Yoongi struggled to catch his breath whilst Hoseok dug through his bag upon entering to show the smartly dressed man positioned at the barrier the two tickets he had purchased online after landing on the site. The man regarded the tickets with a cool stare and then nodded at them. “You should hurry to your seats. The concert starts in less than ten minutes.”

Hoseok thanked him and then reached to grab at Yoongi again, who was red in the face from the sudden spurt of exercise and the cold air. They entered a large hall which had an elevator at the end, but Hoseok knew they wouldn’t make it and frantically dashed towards the staircase.

“Oh, please, no, ‘Seok,” Yoongi begged but his complaint fell on deaf ears as Hoseok was already dragging him up the stairs. Finally, they reached the floor that their seats belonged on and Hoseok ran towards the entrance to the seats.

At least ten thousand people were spread around the hall, no noise was made as the lights dimmed suddenly. Hoseok swore far too loudly and reached blindly for Yoongi, grasping at him and pulling him to aisle F and apologising for stepping on people’s toes as they reached the seats at the end of the row.

Yoongi sat down onto the seat gratefully, he bent over panting whilst Hoseok made circles on his back and offered him water. “Sorry about that,” Hoseok whispered. He could make out Yoongi smiling weakly at him after taking the water bottle from his mouth. “We just had to make it in time-”

“Ladies and gentleman!” An announcement rang out as the host for today’s concert strutted out onto the stage. He smiled up at everyone and presented his conductor’s baton. “Welcome to the classical music concert, where each piece is picked by the vote of the majority!” He continued talking but Hoseok didn’t hear anything apart from the high-pitched buzzing in his ears as Yoongi had reached out and grabbed his hand.

Yoongi looked to him with wide incredulous eyes. “Hoseok...” He whispered.

“The first piece is entitled ‘Nocturne’ and was originally composed by Frederic Chopin. Please save your applause until the end.’

Hoseok didn’t dare draw breath until the first note was played, the song that he had been listening to over and over for the last week, the song that reminded him so much of Yoongi’s grace and the way his hands fell rhythmically over his keyboard, began playing on the piano on centre stage.

Yoongi leant onto his shoulder and sunk into him. Every breath Hoseok took was entwined with the adoration leaking from the keys and the natural scent of Yoongi that he loved with every quiver of his heart.

It was perfect. Yoongi was perfect, and even the smallest of his breaths was far more breathtakingly beautiful than any piece that could possibly be played on any instrument.

Min Yoongi: hey, Seok, I just wanted to thank you for today Min Yoongi: It was amazing. No one’s ever done that for me before Min Yoongi: I’ve never been to a concert before, and there’s no one else I’d rather go with Min Yoongi: You put so much thought into it Min Yoongi: So, thank you :)
