Death's In Love With Us

Hwang Yang-jung x reader

🔞 MDNI Warnings: physical abuse, domestic violence, mentions of alcohol, mentions of bdsm

word count: 3166 🖋️ Authors note: I'm not a professional writer, nor a rookie one tbh, I have no idea what I'm doing. English is not my first language. Ignore the banner, it's a result of playing on my phone while daydreaming about our sweet ahjussi. 🖋️

POV: You broke up with your abusive boyfriend a year ago. Despite all attempts to get your life back together, you can't get rid of your ex, who still harasses you any chance he gets. One day, walking home from work, you spot him waiting in front of your apartment so you decide to walk into a sushi restaurant nearby (run by your friend Hwang Yang-jung) before he sees you.

"Good afternoon" - you greet politely, bowing your head slightly in front of the two men working behind the bar, and walk straight to the table. Surprisingly, there were no guests at all. Looking around the empty place you take a seat.

Yang-jung looks up from his cutting board as a smile spreads across his face.

"I didn't expect you here this early." - he’s just finished filleting, washing his hands.

"I know, I stopped by to see you and say hi." - you tried to hide your exhaustion and irritation behind a kind tone and a soft smile. After all, you promised yourself a better life, a normal life.

"Tea?" - he asked lovingly. Both Yang-jung and his sous chef Min-dong knew you well, you've been a regular ever since you've moved to the neighbourhood last year. 

"A beer would be better, but okay … " - you answer playfully.

"Slow down sailor, we still have evening to cover" - Yang-jung was somehow particularly in a good mood.

“Fine! After you guys finish-”, you made drinking gestures with your hands. Yang-jung smirked at your words.

“Actually, I’m skipping tonight” - Min-dong added, preparing the tea for you.

“Wow, ditching us already, it must be a girl, hmm?” - you started teasing.

“Yeah, yeah, I'm going on a blind date, no big deal.”  - he answered and his cheeks blushed, somewhat unusual for such a tall muscular young man.

“So it's just us? That's practically a date too!” - you turned to Yang-jung, winking at him.

He smirked again, shaking his head slightly, already used to your teasing comments. Yang-jung tried his best not to cross any lines when it came to you. You were young enough to be his daughter, and he reminded himself of that fact as many times as necessary since your flirtatious nature made the lines blur quite often.

"Dates don't usually end with one side carrying another home unconscious." - Min-dong spoke fluent sarcasm, where is this bravery coming from all of a sudden?

“A girl gets drunk once! Once!” - you insisted.

“Yeah, except you get drunk every time.” - Min-dong was speaking facts. But you never could drink a lot anyways. Two drinks were enough to lose your balance completely.

You scoffed. “Seriously, oppa, that's just mean...”

The guys laughed, amused by your annoyance.

“Light up, will you? I'd carry you to the end of the world if necessary.” - Yung-jung added casually, serving you a cup of hot tea. You didn't take his words too seriously, he didn't mean it like that after all, but your heart still fluttered to the thought of this charming man handling you in more than just a friendly way.

“Well, that's my cue. Cucumber rolls?” - Min-dong stood up and went behind the bar, feeling awfully uncomfortable by the sudden change of atmosphere.

“Please!” - you asked with a huge grin on your face.

“At least eat some fish. You'll turn into a cucumber roll one of these days if you keep this up.” - Yang-jung wasn't particularly fond of your food choices and he couldn't hide it.

“God, I hope so, maybe you'd take me more seriously then.” - you grinned.

Yung-jung just chuckled quietly at your silly remarks, not taking his eyes off you. It made you shy, the way he looked at you, and you hated the feeling of endless comfort when you were around this man. Or so you kept telling yourself. The truth was, you knew you were too young and didn't even stand a chance with him, no matter how much it tickled your thought.

“So, what's on your heart?” - Yang-jung asked as if seeing right thru you. He never seemed to beat around the bush anyways.

Hesitating, you answered, “I just escaped the king of assholes waiting in front of my apartment.”

Yang-jung raised his eyebrows. “Your ex again? What is it, third time this week?”

“God, sometimes I wish I could fuck up all of his limbs for good.” - you murmured. Memories of the night of your breakup triggered some insane bloodthirst in you, feelings you'd never known of before you got involved with your ex. You didn't feel like drinking the tea anymore, nor eating your rolls, your whole body trembled from the inside as your blood started to boil. Yang-jung knew the expression on your face very well, he silently inspected your reactions as you put all your strength into not letting your rage reach the surface.

“I feel you haven't told me the entire story at all.” - he stood up and walked to the window in the back. He saw a man in his 40s standing in front of the entrance of your building. He didn't look particularly dangerous, nor very muscular, but he wasn't a small guy either. Shaved head, 85 kg, 1.8 m, fairly strong arms and legs, broad shoulders, casual clothes. Something about the look in his eyes didn't feel right to Yang-jung. Finally he asked, "Is he into martial arts?"

"Taekwondo, black belt, first Dan."

Yang-jung smirked, still looking at him. "Knees and hips are his weak spot."

His cold remark went somewhat unnoticed by you.

He turned away from the window and smiled gently, "Care to tell me how you got yourself in this situation?"

Both chefs were now looking directly at you. Min-dong finished your cucumber rolls, served them and walked to the room in the back of the restaurant, leaving the two of you alone.

You sighed deeply. Awful tingles spread across your body almost momentarily, like hundreds of tiny bats swarming all over you, biting even into your palms. Your whole body was screaming on the inside.

Fuck! Here we go... Pity party time! So young and so ruined. All he's gonna see in me from now on are my past mistakes.

No, no, he doesn't need to know the full story, just tell him what you're dealing with.

Lump in your throat grew with each breath you took.

"Okay, take a seat, let's talk."

Reader x ex boyfriend flashback

Your mind wandered, thinking about the countless times your ex prepared you the most horrible surprises. All those times he'd come home drunk and aggressive, slamming you into the wall as soon as he passed thru the door, squeezing your neck until you almost passed out, cursing at you, threatening, calling you names, using his strength to pin you down for god knows what reason. Every time he laid his hands on your body it hurt, taking caution not to leave bruises on any visible parts of your body. It got unbearable by the end. The more you feared him the more he enjoyed it, the more you cried, the more manic he was. Blaming yourself for ever telling him about your sexual fantasies along with feeling disgusted by yourself was a part of your everyday life until the very end of your relationship. He used it against you first chance he got. What started as a healthy exploration of consensual rough foreplay with a hint of rookie bondage, ended up as an abuser-victim hell of a situation you didn't know how to escape from. Your fight or flight response messed up your brain chemistry as each day passed and you no longer knew if that's even love or if you despised him with your entire being. He always found a way to make you stay, he even begged you on his knees not to leave him, swearing on his mom he never meant you no harm. It was a never ending circle of shit show. Even after you finally left his place for good, he kept finding ways to get in contact with you. Finding out where you live was an easy task for a twisted person like him. "I see everything, I know everything", those were the words he repeated so often while you were dating, as if giving verbal spankings, using any chance he got to feed you a dose of fear and insanity. Everything you did for him was always out of love and kindness, thinking if only you could be the best version of yourself, he'll be good to you. But he never was good to you, his actions never made sense and you never understood the reasons behind those words. He knew about every step you took, nevertheless, few of his paranoias followed him and echoed louder and louder in his mind, as his cycles of insanity were on the periodical rise and fall. He rambled about possibilities of you dumping him quite often, crying over himself, trying to make you feel sorry for him. He talked about his boss's employees constantly checking up on his location. He even tried convincing you how they spy on him during his lunch breaks. His delusions drove him to believe he's some sort of a public officer, or an intelligence agency employee with a task to be alert at all times, when in fact he was nothing more than a secretary working at a private real-estate agency. Soon, after the honey moon phase ended, you realized his whole persona was a big lie, that's also when the first troubles started, but it was all to late for you to leave, you were already in too deep. Your inexperience was exploited for the first time. Welcome to the real world, honey. Well, it took you long before you started getting up on your own feet, and you found a way to navigate thru his cycles of insanity. You took your time and learned all you could, only to find out he's been living multiple lives all along. The only thing he didn't lie about was in fact his black belt in taekwondo and that he was a divorcee. The last time he threatened you with physical force was the night you left him for good.

"I'm not as clueless as you think I am." - you hissed as he held you by the throat. His bloody eyes were filled with rage and his breath smelled like alcohol.

"One wrong move and you'll end up behind the bars. My family knows where I am, and don't think I won't walk straight to the police if you leave so much as a mark on me. I dare you." - your whole body trembled of adrenaline rush but your mind worked fast.

"Well, well, look at you all brave, who would've thought you'd turn into such a snake, finally showing your real face, huh-"

"I couldn't care less even if you snapped my neck this instant." you laughed, slowly losing every touch with sanity. 

"You lose either way. Or did you forget?" - your laughter grew louder as he stared at you in horror, not knowing how to react. He had you by the weakest spot yet the look in your eyes was telling a completely different story. He never saw you acting like this, his blood froze. 

"Your black belt", you spoke thru laughter on the verge of a mental breakdown, "your black belt is treated as a cold weapon in the eyes of the law."

Despite hating yourself as much as you hated him, the thought of this abusive bastard ending up behind the bars for cold blooded murder sent an unusual shot of satisfaction thru your entire body. You knew he never had it in him though. He was a coward on all levels and this round was yours. A solid threat works like a charm on scumbags like him who are usually scared of their own shadow. It was written all across his face that he's finally cornered. Any chance for him to plot a sadistic revenge on the only woman who was ever kind and loving to him was completely lost. You didn't know if he'd slam your head onto the kitchen counter or not, but you could feel his hand trembling. Your laughter echoed thru the kitchen as his grip became weaker and weaker, an expression of misery and regret spread across his face. He feared you. For the first time ever, he stood in front of you, completely falling apart. 

He got on his knees again, like so many times before, begging for forgiveness. Vomit of lies started coming out of him, how much he loves you and how this is just a minor misunderstanding. He'd never hurt you and there's nothing but love he feels for you. You're his everything. You stopped counting his strikes long ago and you knew if you don't walk out of there that same night, you may never see the light of day after this, for real. The change in his tone from all mighty to smaller than an ant sickened you. Of course, there's nothing but hatred left in his heart. Hatred and fear, jealousy and shame. Cowards like him hate it when they lose from someone weaker than them, and they would do anything in their power to win their victims back, just so they can hurt them again.

"Next time you decide to lay a hand on me, better make sure I have a well sharpened knife in mine. That's only fair."

Those were the last words he heard from you on the night of your breakup. Breakup from hell. And you thought the trash is out of your life for good, little did you know your fearless attitude and insane threats only awoke in him an obscure obsession towards you. 

It didn't take long to finish the story of your rocky past relationship, considering you tried your best to avoid going into too much detail of how your ex abused you, physically and mentally. Yang-jung sat right across from you, staying completely silent. You looked down, not daring to look Yang-jung in the eyes any longer.

"A wife beater, huh? Who would have thought." - Yang-jung broke the uncomfortable silence.

"Brave." - he paused for a moment. "Was that him who kept calling all this time? Is that why you changed your number?" - Yung-jung's voice was extremely calm, a little too calm. You nodded silently.

"He kept calling from different numbers. And somehow he found out where I live soon after that."

"He probably tailed you, if he knows where you work, which I assume he does. It isn't that difficult. Why didn't you tell me any of this sooner?"

You closed your eyes, letting out another deep sigh. “Isn't it obvious?”

He didn't say a word. He looked at your face instead, trying to read your expression, but there was nothing. The facade on the outside hid a wild turmoil inside your head. Soft and gentle nature of your whole figure, along with your kind voice and elegant movements were completely the opposite of darkness you carried within you. It was hard to hold it in, especially now, but you didn't want to hide any parts of yourself in front of Yang-jung any longer.

“I wish I could fuck him up, you know? For all that he's done and for all that he's still doing.” - you said, looking him straight in the eye. “I'm not the only one with a dark past or present, but I hate these parts of me. I hate that I feel this way. I hate the desperation and helplessness. I hate the nightmares still haunting me. I hate that I let a lowly man take advantage of me for so long. And I hate that I have to tell you any of this. I hate that you won't look at me the same way you looked at me yesterday, and I hate that my ex keeps fucking up every part of my life, still, I hate it.”

Yang-jung's eyes were the softest and kindest eyes ever. The way he looked at you made you almost choke on your own words, those hateful words which made you feel like you're spewing poison in front of the one who never deserved to hear them in the first place. You could see tears in the corners of his eyes and the only thought that went thru your mind was I hate myself so. fucking. much.

You wanted to jump out of your own skin, or rewind the time and walk directly up to that bastard and face him all alone, instead of running to Yang-jung and hiding at his work place. That's not something one should do to their friends. It's not fair. He didn't deserve this.

Realising how much pain you've been carrying this entire time, Yang-jung spoke softly, "You should have told me… Out of all people, you should have come to me. I would have already made sure he never gets close to you again."

Was that a hint of anger in his voice? Or was it all just pity? It didn't matter. His words couldn't sober you back to your senses, they didn't even reach you. You were spiralling straight into a pitch black void. 

"It doesn't matter, it really doesn't. It is what it is." - you said in somewhat slow motion manner. "Just... don't look at me like I'm going to break into a thousand pieces, please, I can't take it."

"You've done well by telling me this."

You smiled softly, not feeling anything on the inside.

"Yang-jung, do you think I could turn his knees into a mush with a baseball bat?" - you scoffed. Dark humor was always your kind of thing, but saying something as dark as that now of all times didn't make it look like a joke anymore.

"There are far less demanding and easier techniques. But when the time comes I'll make sure you do whatever you need to do to him."

What?!

You wanted to burst into a hysterical laughter, but you held it in the best you could. A rush of adrenaline and relief washed over your entire body, leaving goosebumps on your skin. It took you a few moments to realise what the hell this man was telling you. But then it hit you like a cargo train. You opened your mouth trying to word out something. Yang-jung inspected the changes on your face, waiting for you to speak up. You couldn't tell if he's only comforting you, or are you seriously a meter away from a criminal who would move mountains for you, if only you asked. Moments passed and he was almost sure he got ahead of himself.

Seeing you all hesitant, he finally continued, "Unless-"

"Are you serious?" - you cut him off. "Are you...?"

You asked for reassurance, nothing else. Words stuck in your throat. Was Yang-jung really telling you what you think you heard? Is he really who you think he is?

"Don't make me regret my words." - he warned you, unsure of what's on your mind. He was dead serious.

"Ahjussi," - you whimpered, reaching for his hand across the table, "please, don't say that. You're the only real person I have. Do I need to spill my heart out even more?"

His face softened. He took your hand in his and kissed it.

"You're safe here."

Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint Read Through

Ch 101-120

Beginning: Ch1-10

note: there’s a lot of cursing in today’s update so sorry about that, was just losing my mind over this damn book

also FUCK PAUL

———

"I agree. Did you see all the stars above his head? He is a monster."

> truly horrifying

"Are you going to kill me?" "I'd like to but Master will be sad."

> lmao jihye a real one

"Did you come with Yoo Joonghyuk?" "Huh? Why does ahjussi know everything?"

> clears throat dramatically

i’ll take this dokja.

you see he’s ga-

The lieutenant lifted the man with one hand and threw him to the other side of Han River.

> lmfao HYUNSUNG?????? 🤣

> why is everyone either in love with dokja or wants him dead. and then there’s yjh…

There was slight disappointment in Yoo Joonghyuk's eyes as he replied, "You don't seem to know a lot this time."

> bitch he’s doing his best 😭

"…Kim Dokja?" The surprised Yoo Joonghyuk looked down at my fallen self.

> ah when the suicidal dokja trauma started 😭

I smiled at Yoo Joonghyuk and told him, "Hey, kill me. You usually want to kill me."

> this hurts a lot worse after dkos 😭

"Wait Kim Dokja! It isn't too late." "It is too late." "It isn't!"

Yoo Joonghyuk made an expression that I hadn't seen for a long time. It was the expression he made when he first saw me on the subway. "I can't do it."

> why must y’all do this to me

i can’t do this nahsjejsjddjdn the suicidal dokja trauma is hitting me too

My vision blurred. I could see Yoo Joonghyuk trying to stop the bleeding but I had already lost too much blood.

> ok so like i know this a super sad moment…but tell me why this is giving y/n

Then I saw a person with a fearsome aura behind Shin Yoosung. 「 "I'm going to kill you, Shin Yoosung." 」

> I WILL AVENGE Y/N!

「 "…That guy." 」

「 "He is my companion." 」

> HE SAID IT HE SAID THE THING

Didn't this bastard know I was going to be resurrected?

> Dokja…istfg THINK

[The constellation 'Bald General of Justice' is blushing at your companionship.]

> oh i see you fellow fujo

> trust dokja to think the death of his companion would make yjh try to earn more coins

「 "Why call him a companion? Is it because he sacrificed himself for you? Just because of this?" 」

> and cuz he’s hot. i mean the sacrifice thing too but mostly cuz he’s hot af

「 "Then what about me and the others? Jihye unni and Hyunsung oppa. Seolhwa unni? What the hell are the people who fought with you?" "I… I don't know what you're talking about."

"There is only one thing I know." Yoo Joonghyuk wiped the blood from his lips and said. "You killed my companion in this round. Thus, you will also die." 」

> GUYS WTF

are you telling me…after all this time

yjh is actually a softie

wtf i’m crying

I was fooled by his acting. Yes, I read Ways of Survival for this taste. Come to think of it, I had been in tears when Yoo Joonghyuk said something similar to Lee Hyunsung.

> dokja my life my love plz stfu 😭

「 "Die. I will kill you." 」

> guys he’s so sad he’s going on a murderous rampage 😭

「 "Is it worth it for me to live?" 」 「 "Then what is the value of this life?" 」

> UGHHHHHHHHH STOP 😭

I looked around and saw my scattered items and clothing. It was lucky that no one had taken them. I started putting on my clothes when I heard an eerie voice behind me. "…Kim Dokja?"

> uh oh

I carried the injured Yoo Joonghyuk on my shoulder and rushed towards the frozen Han River.

> he’s princess carrying him. i know i was the han river

"So you also live that way, Shin Yoosung." "…What?" "If you want, I will bear your hatred."

> oh my god the character development 😭

At least, until the voice of the intermediate dokkaebi was heard. [I'm sorry but that's a bit difficult.]

> wait

[Incarnation Kim Dokja. You are the smartest and scariest out of all the incarnations I know.]

> yesss he is

A black aura rose from disaster Shin Yoosung's body. I hurriedly shouted, "Wait! What are you doing?"

> HOLD ON

[The personality of the character 'Shin Yoosung' will be fixed to 'evil'.]

> ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

WHY IS THIS D BAG PLAYING SIMS

"You have failed." "Don't touch the child." I hid the young Shin Yoosung behind my back. "I won't forgive you if you touch this child." Yoo Joonghyuk glared at me. "There is no other way."

> oh god make it stop

why are things spiralling

Who could swing a sword after seeing those eyes? The woman who wandered for over a thousand years and suffered. I had to kill her now.

> i hate EVERYTHING

"…Don't worry about me." Yoo Joonghyuk spilled blood on the floor as he stood beside me with the Splitting the Sky Sword.

> “dw bout me” leaks like a kool aid box

"Do it properly, Kim Dokja!" "I'm doing it!" "Dammit…"

>….

hey look if you got it then your mind’s filthy just as mine

Blood fell. I stared into Shin Yoosung's face. Just like in Ways of Survival, Shin Yoosung was smiling. I realized that she deliberately allowed herself to be hit by my sword.

> why am i putting myself through this again

The Judge of Destruction. 10 days later, Jung Heewon was much more restrained than I knew. She lightly patted my shoulders and moved. "Leave it to me and take a break."

> HEEWON MY LOVE

The archangel Uriel chose Jung Heewon as an incarnation.

> my bby has great taste fr

> i’m so sad about this fight but holy shit heewon is so cool

Yoo Joonghyuk turned around at these words. Then Yoo Joonghyuk's inner thoughts were conveyed to me. 「 I will get revenge for you. 」

> i don’t know what to say

dammit i hate good writers. they make me feel so much

[Intermediate dokkaebi 'Paul'. You shall be arrested for violating the Star Stream regulations.]

> LETS FUCKING GO FUCK YOU PAUL

[You will lose the achievement points of all the scenarios you have built up and will be demoted to a low-grade dokkaebi after your punishment…]

> DIE

[The constellation 'Demon-like Judge of Fire' is looking at the intermediate dokkaebi 'Paul'.]

[The constellation 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband' is chuckling at the intermediate dokkaebi 'Paul'.]

[The constellation 'Secretive Plotter' is mocking the intermediate dokkaebi 'Paul'.]

> i love them just ganging up on fuckass paul

[Yes, the dokkaebi who reported you is Bihyung.]

> W Bihyung

[Dokkaebi Bihyung. He is a very good dokkaebi. Look at his humility. He has the integrity of a streamer who ignores everything and immerses himself in the scenarios. It is different from you and the dokkaebis who only wear luxurious clothing.]

> I…yes exactly bestie is the best. look at them gassing him up 🤩

Bihyung had a shy expression on his face. He didn't know that his poverty would help him in this way.

> LMAO

"I want a solo meeting with the intermediate dokkaebi Paul."

> OH I remember this

My fists descended towards the pale Paul. The damn scenarios I experienced so far passed through my head.

> HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

"I-I am outside the scenario! You can't earn coins by doing this! It won't benefit you!"

> fucking capitalist

The executive dokkaebis didn't like streamers. The executives who evolved from constellations were good at fighting but had no talent in leading the scenarios.

> upper management is the same no matter what species huh?

> the way new dokkaebis keep needing to replace official ones cuz dokja keeps messing around XD

Surprisingly, Yoo Sangah had already drank four bottles of soju.

> damn sangah heavy weight confirmed

It was clearly a face free of makeup but it was hard to find any blemishes. Yoo Sangah slowly leaned towards me. Her face was getting closer and closer.

> wait

wait wait WAIT

> fucking hell wine dude

> oh right the underworld arc

The person who died in the first scenario, Delusional Demon Kim Namwoon was in Hades' domain.

> oh no

the high schoolers back

I could see how good Bihyung was at handling things. He just slightly lacked intelligence…

> did…did he just call bibi stupid

[The king is uncomfortable with your sudden visit. That's why I thought it would be better for me to talk to you.]

> does he have social anxiety

I didn't know why the goddess of another country knew so much about Korean mean.

> maybe she’s into kpop? i know more than i should too XD

…■■■?

I was really confused.

> dude same. the censoring is harsher than chinese men kissing on tv

[I keep thinking this but… you look delicious.]

> she calling him a snack?

> oh never mind she calling him a meal

"You can call it a courtship." […Huh?]

> kdj just be flirting with everyone huh

is this revenge for yjh running off with lsw

[Hrmm, it is difficult. This is why males are…] "Of course, it isn't courting you but courting the Father of the Rich Night."

> this man is so gay

My heart felt pained. She must've been waiting for a long time. Even so, this child had to wait longer.

> AHHHH WHY ARE WE BACK TO THIS

GO BACK TO KDJ BEING GAY

I looked at her sleeping face and recalled Persephone's image. Then my face became hot. … By the way, the Chinese dress and garter belt… it was really great.

>… ok bi king

I looked around with a sigh and saw the King of Wanderers. She was watching me without saying a word. I could see a slight smile below her half mask.

> 🙁

The moment I broke the biscuit, one side of the tent exploded and the self-styled president of Yeouido fell down with a scream.

> so fucking dramatic JUST USE THE FRONT DOOR

I thought the second one would be me so I was naturally surprised. Well, I originally wasn't his companion so his other party members might be disturbed if he called me first. He might look cold but he looked after his people. I could understand that sentiment.

> oh you poor poor thing. you don’t know how badly you fucked up last night

The confused Lee Gilyoung was stunned for a moment but he stood in front of Shin Yoosung like he made a decision.

> adorable

…Then what about me? Why was he looking at me like that? I belatedly chased after him but Yoo Joonghyuk was already gone. How long did I stand there?

> oof rejection hurts doesn’t it buddy

"Ahjussi, didn't you meet with Master last night? I thought you would be the first on the list…" "What do you mean?" "Last night Master said he was going to see you?"

> this is literally out of a miscommunication fic

"That's strange? He definitely went to find you. He was also a bit angry when he came back."

> oh my god author you’re making this too easy

[The constellation 'God of Wine and Ecstasy' is making a playful expression.]

> fucking hell dude my ship is in danger because of you

"Companions, I think I understand." Lee Hyunsung unexpectedly interrupted. "Come to think of it, I would also feel offended if I saw Kim Dokja doing that."

> hyunsung bestie wanna share something with the class?

"…Yes? Why would Hyunsung-ssi feel bad?" Lee Jihye looked like she was going to get a nosebleed.

> lee jihye i know what you are

"Um… it make sense." Jung Heewon agreed. [The constellation 'Demon-like Judge of Fire' is disappointed with her incarnation.]

> lmfao not everyone built for that fujo life uriel

I took a deep breath before saying to the King of Wanderers. "It has been a long time, Mother."

> ugh i’m not ready for this emotional roller coaster

"Do you know the book called the Underground Killer? It was previously on the Kyobo bestsellers list."

> ouch it was a best seller?

Yoo Joonghyuk stood next to me and said, "You came."

> kdj: you called

sorry

"You have a woman you love." "…What?"

> yjh: you’re straight

kdj: huh???

Yoo Joonghyuk stared at me quietly and said, "Certainly, I don't care if you die."

> you were losing your mind telling him it’s not too late when he had a hole in his body

yjh feels so much more fleshed out as a person and not just a emotion less machine is insane. god damn i love this book

I know we're not supposed to start this until tomorrow, but I did my reading yesterday and got sucked into it and ended up staying up late to read part I and II, and being a korean book there's a few words and such that are not translated.

Now, I am assuming that people who chose to partake in this blook club have some prior knowledge of Korea, korean culture and the korean language. I also realise I might be wrong, so with my limited knowledge scraped together over years of series, reading, studying and general interest in all things Korean, I put this together and decided to share it early, thinking it might be of help to someone while reading.

Words

Umma/Eomma [엄마]: Mom (informal)

Hyung [형]: "older brother" (informal), used by a man adressing a (slightly) older man, regardless if they're siblings or not. Can signal some level of closeness.

Hyungnim [형님]: "older brother" (formal/respectful), same as 형, but with the added honorific of ~님 to show respect. Often used jokingly.

Oppa [오빠]: "older brother" (informal), used by a woman adressing a (slightly) older man, regardless if they're siblings or not. Common way to adress an older boyfriend.

Nuna/Noona [누나]: "older sister" (informal), used by a man adressing a (slightly) older woman, regardless if they're siblings or not. Can signal some level of closeness.

Nunim [누님]: "older sister" (formal/respectful), same as 누나, but with the added honorific ~님 to show respect.

Unni [언니]: "older sister" (informal), used by a woman adressing a (slightly) older woman, regardless if they're siblings or not. Can signal some level of closeness.

Sunbae/Seonbae [선배]: senior. A gender-nautral way to adress a senior within your school/workplace/field of expertise.

Young/Young-ah [영 / 영아]: adding the suffix -ah [~아] to someone's name signals closeness and friendliness. It can be used for someone of the same age or younger. Often used when speaking to children. Gender-neutral.

Ajussi/Ahjussi [아저씨]: "uncle", used to adress an older man. Can be used both politely and inpolitely, depending on context. (also an action movie from 2010 that awoke my interest in Korea)

Jeonse [전세]: a common way to pay rent in Korea where you pay in a lump sum rather than monthly, usually for a laese of 2 years.

Goshitel [고시텔]: A combination of the words Goshiwon [고시원] and Hotel, a goshitel is a hotel with tiny rooms, often offering the bare minimum. It's (comparatively) cheap accomodation. (I recommend watching Strangers from Hell, a series from 2019 that largely plays out at a very run down goshiwon)

Hagwon [학원]: evening school/cram school, privately operated, places for extra study outside of school hours to offer students an "edge" in the unhealthily competitive climate that is the Korean school system (Yes, I have opinions about this. No, I do not ever want to study in Korea. I believe Sky Castle from 2018 could give a look into this, but I haven't seen it on the assumption that it would make me too bloody angry)

Hanbok [한복]: traditional Korean clothing.

Foods

Naengmyeon [냉면]: cold noodles! Litterally cold (냉) and noodles (면) - and it's deliscious! I can recommend the soup version on a hot summer day, with ice, chicken and pear.

Seaweed soup [미역국]: said to be nourishing, it is traditionally served to women after childbirth to help them recover. It is also a traditional birthday dish.

Banchan [반찬]: side dishes, of which there are many in Korea! Often vegetable based.

Hwe/Hoe [회]: thinly sliced raw fish. (The Korean version of japanese sashimi, if you happen to know that that is.)

Other

Mandatory military service: Korea has mandatory military service which applies to all men and which women can apply to. It's about 1,5 - 2 years long. Excemptions can be made, but it's frowned upon. It's complicated. (I have opinions about this, too, that I shan't be getting into here. The series D.P. from 2021 digs into the dark side of it, but I haven't seen it yet, again because I think it'll make me mad.)

Itaewon [이태원]: area/neghbourhood in Seoul, known for it's vibrant and multicultural nightlife. Lots of bars and clubs, and a hub for gay people, but I've heard it's lost some of its popularity after Covid and the Halloween tragedy of 2022. (another series recommendation: Itaewon class.)

[muntitled]

I had left Choi Mujin aside for some time but you brought him back into my life I love that man with everything I have, I want to satisfy his needs, recognize the smell of his cigarettes and hold his hands while he groans because he's too old to be hitting it but HE STILL GOT IT AND I LOVE HIM AHHHHHHHH

"TOO OLD TO BE HITTING IT" IS THE REALEST THING IVE HEARD.

The things I'd do for that criminal freaking dilf you have no idea. I would truly abandon all fricken morals because dilfs are hot in general... BUT MURDEROUS DILFS?@?@??@@?

I'd be so submissive, ahjussi. I got you

[koreandragon]

Borrowed clothes that will never be given back

Gun's bright yellow shirt catches Goo's interest. Its not a want, it's a need.

Yellow doesn't suits Gun. His utter obsidian eyes, his raven silky hair, his body.. long story short, his whole presence.

Yet, he has been wearing this stripped yellow shirt for the past 3 years.. does he really likes it that much?

But.

He likes Goo more, yes? So if Goo asked him to borrow i-

"No fucking way."

Oh. How mean. Well that wasn't really expected now was it.

Nah, knowing Gun, Goo already knew that asking to borrow his clothe wouldn't be so easy.

Pouting, Goo leans in closer to the man sitting on the sofa, utterly comfortable watching the new martial art video he found, despite Goo's annoying presence. "Come on, Guun~"

Oh, for fucks sake. Not the cheek poking again.

"Don't even bother poking my cheek, you're not getting it."

"Why the fuck not?!" Shouting, Goo snuggles into Gun, nibbling his head on his shoulder.

"Yellow looks sooo fucking ugly on you! It doesn't even suits you, black suits you more, you should keep wearing black. Aaand, give me your-"

"Keep quiet, trying to watch something over here."

Okay. Gun didn't say no. -despite saying no several times earlier- Goo will consider this as a win.

"..please?"

"You're rich. We are rich. Just go and buy yourself the same, new one." Gun grumbles, sighing in annoyance.

"No! Come on, I'll just borrow it! I promise I'll give it back! Pinky promise, even!" Leaning in closer to Gun's face, Goo's lips quivers and another pout displays on his face, the eye contact between Gun and him only staying for a several seconds before Gun shifts his gaze back to the TV once again.

"No. I like this one."

"gasp Your boyfriend over your shirt?!"

"Are you trying to manipulate me?"

"Not certainly. Come on, please! Seriously, it'll suit me 10 times better than it suits you! See? It even matches my hair." Goo coos, pointing his hair with a smile.

Silence.

Goo only stands 6 seconds at this silence before shouting, "Ah, god fucking damn it! Why is that dumb shirt so special to you anyway?!"

Gun pauses. "..No reason. Just the colors looked nice."

"Yes, and it'll look even nicer when i wear it."

Sigh. Gun just wants to spend his break time watching martial art videos, not dealing with Goo's bullshit.

With a deep sigh, he shuts down his eyes and grunts, "If there's a single drop of blood, you're fucking buying me a brand new one. You hear me?"

Eyes wide Goo smiles, "Whoa, really?" Grinning like an idiot, Goo tightly wraps his arms around Gun's neck and cuddles him, rubbing his head on his chest. "Thanks~"

Sighing, Gun returns the hug with a pat on Goo's back.

------

Gun lied.

The colors wasn't the actual reason why he bought that shirt. It was, in a way, but the real reason behind it was because of the colors reminding him of something. Of someone.

--------

"Oi, ahjussi!" Goo shouts, dodging the punch coming right into his pretty face.

Smiling, he utters, "What, ahjussi? Are you rich?" His smile widens into a grin. "If you're not, you must be prepared."

Sliding in his left hand in his pocket and resting it there, as if the big, older man in front of him meant nothing to him, Goo extends his right hand to his glasses, slightly pushing them.

His gaze slightly softens. It may be not visible because of his glasses covering his eyes, but it's there. Yet, the grin stays the same.

"I borrowed these clothes from a really hot-tempered bastard."

[coffeekyu]

Hey 😂 I would like to request a kyuhyun imagine with a fem non-famous reader where they are in a secret relationship and he gets jealous because her male colleagues are flirting with her, even though it was his choice not to go public yet

Not My Type | Kyuhyun Fic (Imagines)

Word count: 2.2k Note: just 1 male colleague is involved Pairing: Kyuhyun x non-famous fem reader Characters: Kyuhyun, reader, Junho (reader’s colleague, which you can totally pretend is the face of 2PM’s Junho)

-------------------

You walked a few feet away from Kyuhyun on a street in Cheongdam, pretending to be strangers, towards a park where the two of you often had your secret dates. After walking for a little more, you both turned into the park, avoiding any possible paparazzi around the area. It was even harder to do that in Cheongdam, where many celebrities lived. You settled on the usual two empty benches in the park and sat across each other, smiling.

You usually had your dates at his place. But either way, you had to enter the apartment building at a different time if you wanted to avoid being seen together, appearing on the headlines the next day. And, the both of you, though being homebodies, were extremely sick of having your indoor dates, usually karaoke-ing over tteokbokki.

“Hey Chokyu.” You spoke from the other end of the bench you sat on. You loved calling him by that nickname because of how cute it sounded in your head.

“Hmm?”

“When are we gonna go on a real date?”

He looks at you, shocked. “Real date? You mean this isn’t a real date to you?”

“Well, of course it’s real. It’s just… it would be nice to actually hold hands when we’re outside or like at an amusement park which you’ve been wanting to go to.”

He looked slightly saddened by your request.

“I know, I know, we have to give it some time. I was just teasing you. I’m good with this too. You look cute even if we aren’t just two millimetres away from each other.” You giggled.

“What if I reserved Lotte World at night, so that just the both of us could go? Alone?” He smirks.

“I know you’re rich, Kyu. But there’s no need to spend 10-musicals-worth of your salary just to do that.” You laughed. “Also, the Lotte World staff would know about us. News spreads fast, you know.”

“Mm. Right. Just a thought.” Kyuhyun slumps back down on his bench.

“I wanna hold your hand.” He says after a few seconds of silence.

You blushed and reached your hand out toward his direction, and he was about to reach out to yours, when you heard a voice behind you.

“Hey!” the voice thundered through the leaves. You turned back and saw your colleague, Junho, jogging towards your direction. You gasped, pulling your hand away from Kyuhyun. He already knew to put on his quick disguise - his standard black mask and bucket hat - while you stood up abruptly and pretended to jog on the spot.

“Junho-ssi! What brings you here? Hot day isn’t it? Summer things. I was just about to go for another jog around here. Wanna join me?” You stammered, looking nervously at Kyuhyun, who had his eyes narrowed at your hands as you held onto your colleague’s shoulders, turning him around so he couldn’t see Kyuhyun.

“Wait a minute, that looks like…” Junho turns around, pointing and squinting at Kyuhyun.

“Looks like? Haha who? Oh that guy? Ah, that’s just the neighbourhood ahjussi! Don’t mind him. Bye Ahjussi!” You exclaimed, not giving Junho a chance to react before forcing a fake laugh, and pushing Junho away as Kyuhyun signals a fake goodbye. Kyuhyun pulled down his bucket hat to cover more of his face as the two of you jogged away.

“Hey, stop pushing me!” Junho exclaims, as you give him a big smile, trying to pretend nothing suspicious just happened. He squints, “and you’re not even in workout clothes!”

“No matter! Chop chop! Let’s go! Don’t got all day, do we???” You spoke enthusiastically so your colleague would move on.

Kyuhyun watched discreetly from the bench and sighed. He pulls out his phone and sends you a message, with just an emoji “:(“.

You unlocked your phone to reply. “T-T sorry baby”.

“My house in an hour?” Kyuhyun replies.

“OK call!” You answered.

------------------- a few days later

It was a few minutes after the end of your work day, and some of your colleagues began packing up to leave for home, saying their goodbyes and ‘see you tomorrow’s.

Pshh… don’t wanna see you though. You thought, watching a condescending co-worker walk by.

You let your head rest on your desk at the office. Work was just too much for you to deal with today, and it wasn't over just yet. Just as you started to rest, you groaned as you heard a zoom call notification pop up on your laptop, thinking it was from a colleague from the marketing department trying to get to you. You accepted the call quickly using a keyboard shortcut by muscle memory, with your head still on the table.

“Baby.” The caller’s voice thundered amidst your quiet office. Realising it was Kyuhyun, you looked up quickly and gasped, fumbling to reach for your AirPods before you replied.

“Chokyu! I’m still in the office!” You whispered, looking around silently to see if anybody heard you.

“I know.”

“People could have heard you!”

“I know.”

“Should I put you on speaker then?” You asked strictly, yet playfully as a joke.

“… if you want to.” He says.

“Hmph. Not gonna.” You decided.

He laughs, sounding relieved. “Dinner? My place?”

“Tteokbokki?" You asked.

“No, I'm making something else tonight. Come quicklyyy-!” He dragged out his sentence, pretending to whine.

“What are you making?” You asked.

“Come home and find out.”

Home? You wondered, and smiled to yourself, even though you weren’t quite living together yet. “Kyu, did you forget? I have an event for tonight.”

“You do? But you didn’t tell me!”

“Check your calendar, baby.”

“Gimme a sec.” He says, as you see him reaching for his phone for his calendar app. Thank goodness you sat against a window, so no one could practically see your screen unless they squinted at the window’s reflection. Otherwise, it would be almost impossible to have a video call with him right in your office.

“Oh. You have a recording?”

“I do, yeah, it’s a marketing thing. With Junho.” You replied.

“Junho? You mean that guy we saw at the park the other time? Why him?” He asks, tone slightly annoyed.

“Are you jealous?”

“Pfft. Me? Jealous?” He scoffed. You looked at the screen and nodded with a smirk. He scoffs again. “No.” He replies bluntly.

“We’re doing a dance.”

“Huh.”

“We’re doing a dance. It’s for some company marketing thing to boost employment. Sounds ridiculous, I know.” You explained.

“A dance? Together?” He probes.

“Yeah it’s a couple dance thing.” You blurted.

“Couple da- What? And you need a dance for that because...?”

“Ask the marketing director.”

“Give me their email.” Kyuhyun says, impatiently. "Or better, their phone number."

He sulks, and you decided to tease him a little more, “They chose the prettiest lady and the most handsome guy in the company to do it.”

“Well, yeah, you’re pretty but… You... you think he’s handsome too?” Kyuhyun asks, amazed at what you had just said.

“Kyu… if you’re jealous, just say it.” You teased him again, laughing this time, at how cute he looked as he pouted and rolled his eyes.

“I’m nooootttt!” He drags out his words again.

Just as he says that, you see Junho approaching your table, looking at you with an eye smile. “Wait a minute.” You say to Kyuhyun, then quickly switched your browser tab to a work related one and pulled out one side of your AirPods, then smiled at Junho.

“Ready to go?” Junho asks. You nodded, almost ready to stand up as you receive a notification from Kyuhyun, which caused your phone to light up, showing your wallpaper.

You picked up your phone from the table, opening the message with the screen facing yourself so Junho couldn’t see. It was an emoji again. Kyuhyun: “:’(“

Junho smirks. “I didn’t know you’re a fan of Kyuhyun.”

You looked at the webcam of your laptop, knowing that Kyuhyun was still on the line, though your browser wasn't on Zoom. You smiled briefly into the webcam, then looked at Junho. “Is it that obvious?” You asked.

“Well yeah, you have him set as your wallpaper. Sorry for looking at your phone, though.” He says kindly.

“That’s okay. Yeah, I’ve been a fan for a while.” You giggled.

“<3” Kyuhyun sends another emoji.

“And you have pictures of him all over your desk. Also, sorry for paying attention to your desk.” He smiles sheepishly.

“It’s okay.” You replied, a bit touched by his sensibility.

“Would you date someone like Kyuhyun?” Junho asks swiftly, taking you by surprise.

“What?” You asked and laughed awkwardly. “Hah, no of course not. He’s too famous. And he’s not my type.” You lied. It was such a big lie, and you were afraid that Kyuhyun would be hurt over that.

“Is that so? Then are you single?” He asks.

You quickly pointed out the window behind you. “Oh my God! Junho! Look at that!”

As he turned to look outside, you quickly looked towards the webcam again, mouthing a “sorry!!” and held your hands in prayer to your chest. You received another emoji from Kyu.

“</3”

“What am I supposed to be looking at again?” Junho says, still glancing out the window.

“Oh, hmm… I could’ve sworn I saw Girls’ Generation’s YoonA in the opposite building.” You said, pretending to look out.

He scoffs, but squints and pretended to look in the opposite building too. “Negative!” he confirms. “Anyway, back to my question.” Junho thinks. “What was my question?”

“If I was ready to go?" you tried to change the topic.

"No. It was... are you single?" he asks, smiling again.

"... I guess." you said.

"</3" Kyuhyun sent yet another message.

"Can I ask you out for dinner then?" Junho smiles, looking at you sincerely in the eye. "After the event."

"I..." you looked to the screen of your laptop.

"GUYS! We're late! Let's go!" The marketing assistant barges into your office and waves at you to leave. Junho smiles.

“Aren’t you going to close that zoom call? The recording light is still on.” Junho smirked and waved to the screen.

You quickly closed your laptop and followed behind Junho and the marketing assistant.

You realised Junho knew about you and Kyuhyun all along.

-------------------

"Can you keep it secret? No one's supposed to know." You asked Junho for a favour.

He laughs. "Of course. It's not for me to say." He winks.

"Thank you." For a moment you were afraid he really intended to ask you out.

The rest of the crew in the room had been setting up for 45 minutes, as you waited and did the camera rehearsal diligently, waiting for Kyuhyun to respond to your messages you had sent a while back, asking if he was okay.

The camera crew signalled for the both of you to stand closer and you had to put your phone away. The both of you got ready as they counted down, before the recording started.

"Ready in 3, 2, 1..."

You both read and acted based off the script as you rehearsed, then came the game segments where you were supposed to explain and engage the audience with. It was a good 40 minutes until it finally came to the finale - the dance segment. You knew Junho had some kind of social media presence, which was why the team wanted to do something like that to boost awareness of the company. But you still felt that it was a little too extreme.

As the music began, you saw briefly saw the studio door open and close. Junho held your waist as part of the choreography, and as he spun you around, you caught a glimpse of a familiar figure standing near the door. The rest of the crew stared at him, wondering why a celebrity had just stepped into their studio.

Kyuhyun stood at the entrance, evidently frowning. You tried looking away as you continued with the sequence. Your heart started beating faster knowing Kyuhyun was looking at you, but took a few more steps to attempt finishing the original planned choreography. It didn't take long before he stormed towards the both of you, with the staff trying to hold him back, and Junho knew to let go in seeing that reaction. Kyuhyun held you quickly in turn and switched it to his own choreography. The music was slow yet cheerful. It felt like time stopped a little. Chokyu, what the hell are you doing? You thought. But it felt a little too romantic to let go at that moment.

He was finally ready to let some people know about your relationship, you thought. Though unplanned, you could almost follow his lead as he danced in a slow pace. Before you knew it, the music ended, with everyone else in the room watching you. Applause roared through the room as you stopped.

"What's gotten in to you?" You asked him, knowing it was unlike him to be impulsive like that.

Kyuhyun seemed to then have snapped out of a trance, looking at the crew, then back at you. You booped his nose, unable to hold back because of how cute he looked in the moment. "My jealous baby."

He smiled sheepishly and pecked you on your cheek.

"Can you cut that part out?" Kyuhyun asked the crew.

"We can't cut that out." The marketing director comments.

“Please keep it a secret? You guys can know I guess, that's fine.” He says to the rest of your department.

“It’s a broadcast though.” You laughed.

“A WHAT? Baby, you said RECORDING!” Kyuhyun whispered (loudly) and pulled the both of you out of the frame.

“OMG! He called her baby!” Another colleague squealed in excitement.

"This is what you get for being jealous, Kyu... and shouldn't you know what a livestream set up looks like after years of being an idol?" you teased, but he stays silent for a few moments. "Sorry for making you jealous." you said, returning him a kiss.

Before you knew it, the livestream comments were going crazy. And the marketing manager stood there clapping while the audience numbers rose like no tomorrow.

"And CUT!"

-----

THE END <3 sorry it took so long to write this lol

[dylan-rodrigues]

tl;dr for Marry My Husband ep. 1: "I sold my stocks for you pls respond???"

Also wow vengeful PMY so cute in this lmao

idk why she was so shocked when he took off the glasses, he was hot before too. Reverse 'nerdy girl takes off glasses, looks instantly hotter' trope.

I can't hate Su-min, the actress is too cute and you can tell she's having fun with the role. her facial expressions alone are killing me. almost makes you forget the gaslighting, toxicity and light complicity in murder.

I feel like the drama is more light and goofy than the webtoon so far?? I'm enjoying this so much ong. idk why I was so worried.

Na In-woo is doing well but his clothes make him look like a 60yo salaryman ahjussi. they kinda changed Su-min's look from the webtoon, they could have chosen other clothes for him too... I mean, in the webtoon he looked like a sexy triangle with abs lmao

I'm just happy Huiyeon in this at all, there was barely any promo of her character. If they don't show her romance with the college first love, I'll be super mad.

[sunbathingfox7]

How am I supposed to stay sane when Sung Hyunjae looks like that. I mean, in the latest chapter of the manhwa, he looks so gorgeous I have a hard time moving on from his panels. And on top of that, that charming, elegant and bastard-like personality of his....

Sung Hyunjae-ssi, please have mercy. My heart can't take it anymore.

[deafening-enthusiastic-dreamer]

Death's Game

Go Yoon Jung

If you haven't seen Alchemy of souls yet... Go watch that now ( She is amazing in it as well)

The love interest of the protagonist. She was very kind hearted and truly an amazing person to love him so much and support him. The episode with lee do hyun and her, had me so emotional.

SPOILER- Her death was not expected. Like not one bit. To see her die the way she did was just horrible, I was right there with choi crying my eyes out.

But a good side, at least he got to say things to her that otherwise he couldn't have said.

As always Go Yoon Jung did a good job. I like to see her on screen and as a writer might I add. Though her time in the series was short I liked her in it.

Kim Jae Wook

Chills... Literal Chills..

This man... It is the first time that I have seen him. But he has an aura about him that is just different and eye catching. Villainous Era suits him a lot. The storyline which he is involved in is extremely gory to say the least ( be cautious while seeing the series, It can be a lot for some viewers). But he played it well.

The scenes were quite intense and carried a lot of seriousness, having to express all those emotions can not be an easy job. Kudos to him for doing this.

Also He is absolutely Handsome. like a " Hot Ahjussi".

[fujoshimayor]

30 days of BL challenge

Day 20: your favorite top?

I'm cheating and doing my top 3 semes in green, yellow, and red.

Green flags:

Kang Daehyung from On or Off & Work/love balance

He's so daddy. Cougar hunter. Ceo. Well dressed. Smart. Bisexual.

But forreal one of favs. He encourages, supports, guides Yiyoung through the business world with wisdom that only comes from experience. He's just a sexy and mature character.

Sa Dowon from Full Volume

Another mature,older bf. He is so goofy. Really a golden retriever bf. Down for whatever when it comes to Boem. Forever horny.

Ahjussi/Bum Geon Woo from Dangerous convenience store

Ok so I like older tops.... sue me! Director Kang's gangster doppelganger. He is so unintentionally funny. Dead pan face and says the funniest shit.

For example:

Yellow flags:

Yoon Seungho from Painter of the night

Brat summer? Lord Yoon had a brat 365 24/7. So bratty. Also unintentionally funny because he'd had a tantrum anytime Nakyum mentioned Inhun. 🤣. Anyhow he's such a fun and interesting character. I loved reading his character arc.

Kang Dooshik from Pearl Boy

Even before the side stories I never thought of Dooshik as a green flag. He wasn't/isn't but he is a dynamic character. He's funny and he and Jooha have really good chemistry. He's charming and has a really interesting backstory. Pearl Boy isn't my favorite but I really do like Dooshik.

Yeo Taejoo from Lowtide in twilight

Honestly ... he has so much rizz. Definitely a gangster and doesn't hide it. It's been joy to read his redemption arc. Euja doesn't change his personality. He's still pervy and goofy. He actively tries to be better but also messes up. That's realistic.

Red flags:

Kwon Hee-ryang of Steel under silk

I love him. War crimes and all. Geneva Convention? Who is she? She should stay away from my man. I really love that he doesn't apologize for his actions. He did them and would do it again and that's something he owns up to and must live. So clever and fun. Also hot! Tan and a scar? Yeah... he's taking it.

Lee Woo Yeon/ Phillip from Love History by Willful negligence

You can get my read most stories if I find the toxic top funny and interesting. This mother fucker is hilarious. He says the wildest shit to get a rise out of Inseob. I'm sure he's 100 percent serious but also probably is tickled by his antics. He is certified crazy but I'm sorry if you said "I've tasted all your holes", I would die laughing.

TJ/ Oh Taejoon from Wetsand

Doyak really drew the sexiest character. My god. He's so delicious. I do love an obsessive bad boy and gangsters and men with scars... I'm a bird, I guess. Anyhow, I really enjoy he and Ian's backstory. I know it's toxic, but damn they look so good together.

[queerbrainrot]

watching Merciless p3/????

My feed froze for a hot minute only to unfreeze at the perfect moment of “AY SHIBAL” with a bitch slap following it close by minute 16 god bless

Awww the slapped gangster is crying I love big tough men showing emotion

Rip the driver for being too honest

I swear i saw the white suit as a villain in 2 other dramas

For every pathetic wet rag cop you get an older gentleman playing fast and loose with the law thats the rule

Jaeho has no sense of self preservation huh

King Sunghan i swear i saw you as a villain before. Chief Security too. Is it a sign i watched too many movies and dramas

The non linear narrative is not good for my adhd brain

Homoerotic gaze over to each other in the corridor followed up by self sacrificing saving attempt by Hyunsoo<3

„Mom told me not to ignore the suffering of the petty” way to go small man

JAEHO BEING OFFENDED BY „AHJUSSI” AND MAKING HYUNSOO CALL HIM HYUNGNIM 🧡

Jaeho slapping the shit out of the warden for slapping Hyunsoo, thats love bitch

I love the cinematic close ups to every detail

Hyunsoo with his „ooooh what the fuck did i get myself into” expression during the torture scene

Do i have a thing for old men, or do i want a father figure, it is the question

The joy I get from understanding at least some of the spoken korean here <3 even if its during a torture scene which idk what it tells about my teaching method

The baseball scene is amazing and i Love Jaeho more and more. Unhinged old man

Damn these boys can run are they all olympians

„I’ll get your mom a kidney” chief i think thats illegal
