Hot Ghouls in your Area 9

masterpost

“Good morning!”

Jason winced and moved the phone a little further from his face. ��Is this Doctor Fenton?” 

“It's one of them! What can I do ya for?” Jack Fenton boomed, just as bombastic as his newsletter made him seem. Jason knew, deep in his heart, that Jack Fenton was indeed the one who had selected green neon bold for his headings and borders. 

Angels wept. Jason scrubbed his palm over his eye. This man had no poetry in his soul. “I, uh, had some questions about a ghost. I've read some of your articles and your most recent published paper on the topic.”

“We love ghosts!” Fenton bellowed. “Ask away!”

“Do you know a ghost called Phantom?” Jason tried.

“...Sure do,” Jack Fenton said. “Whatcha need?” 

Jason cleared his throat. “It's somewhat complicated,” he said evasively, because he didn't need these people to know he was the Red Hood. Fuck. He should have either gotten his helmet stored away or not given his real name. Phantom knew his face and that his name was Jason. Any information that got around via Phantom might tie his face to his alter ego. If Phantom said he got married to Jason, the Red Hood, that could lead to the end of the Bat family vigilantism.

“...He cause you trouble, sport?”

Jason let out a slight laugh. “You could say that, though it wasn't really his fault,” he admitted. He cast a paranoid eye out the window to be sure no siblings were creeping on him. “No, it's really more that…” Fuck, he should have planned this better. “Is there any information you can give me about how a human could contact him?” 

Not that Jason didn't have a phone number for the guy. But it made him very uncomfortable to have any basic knowledge or way to track Phantom down if he decided to leave Jason to whatever was going on. 

“I could probably do that,” Jack Fenton said slowly, now sounding like an entirely different human being. “Say, you wouldn't be Jeremy, would you?”

Jason blinked. “...How did you know?” He went with. Phantom had contact with a human guy named Jeremy? That might be his in.

“Oh, well then, you've definitely got to come over,” Dr. Fenton wheedled. It somehow came across as shifty. “You'll be wanting a whole primer on how the Ghost Zone works, won't ya?” 

“That would be immensely helpful,” Jason agreed. “But I'd hate to take up your valuable time.”

“Nonsense!” Fenton bellowed. Jason nearly lost his grip on his phone in surprise. “Come over Jeremy, I'm dying to meetcha!” 

So, there was a plan. Jason packed for a day trip and dialed up his travel agent. 

“Fuck off,” said Tim. “I'm busy. Christ.” 

“I need an airplane ticket and a rental bike to Illinois,” Jason continued. He tossed his mostly full bag on the sofa and went digging for the socks he knew he had washed the other night. “I'm going to go see some nerds about my impromptu adventure the other day.”

Tim groaned. That was the first Jason had given any hint at all about what had happened to him when he'd been ‘sacrificed.’ “What nerds?” He asked wearily. 

Jason grinned into his sock drawer. Gottem. “Why, do you all know each other?” He asked blithely. 

“Do you always antagonize people you want favors from?” Tim whined. A keyboard clacked rapidly in the background. “Jason, I swear to God, you massive bitch. Cut the crap and communicate, or I'm hanging up.” 

Jason frowned at his socks and grabbed a random pair. “You don't gotta be like that,” he said sulkily. He slammed the socks into his bag with a very unsatisfying silence. “So, the ritual doohickey sent me to the infinite underworld, I met a guy there actually and we are magically connected because he's who that dumb ritual matched me up to. He doesn't want to be stuck with a human so we are on the same page about breaking this. We started looking for answers and he took me back to Earth since it's not good for humans to be in the green dimension for too long.” 

There was silence from the other end of the line for a few seconds. “You're fucking lying,” Tim said. 

“Only by leaving things out.” A bit stung, Jason pulled a hand through his hair and accidentally ruined his good hair day. 

“What are you leaving out?” Tim rejoined swiftly.

Jason laughed at him. “You think you're getting that kinda information in exchange for plane tickets?” He asked incredulously. 

“You are the most annoying person who has ever tried to kill me.”

Ouch. That genuinely stung.

“Fuck off.” Jason slammed the drawers shut. 

“I could guess aliens or supernatural off of what you just said.” Tim ignored Jason’s very good point. “Based off of your trip to the Gotham U campus and-”

“Are you still stalking me?” Jason cut him off, incredulous. He scoffed. “Little buddy, you already got my pixie boots, Red Robin costume, and my Dad. What else do you wanna take from me?”

“I think that you were there to assess Daniel Fenton,” Tim ignored him.

Jason was silent for a moment. There was probably no point in pretending that Tim was wrong. “You already knew about the Fenton’s connection to the supernatural.” He was suddenly tired.

“His older sister is an intern at Arkham, she stepped out of line to get a chance to talk to Jeremy Waters.” Tim didn’t seem to notice that the mood had changed. He was caught up on whatever twenty level plan was whirring away internally.

Jason looked at the wall for a moment, not bothering to think about why that name was familiar. “...and that is…?”

“The guy who kidnapped you, keep up,” Tim snarked. “Her supervisor guessed what she was hinting at, shut her down, put a note about it in the private server so there was a paper trail if she turns out to be a collaborator.”

““Private” is a strong word to describe that server.” Jason rubbed at his jawline and hefted his bag out to the bathroom to gather his shaving kit. 

“Mmhm,” Tim said blandly. “I bugged her phone. The signal is absurdly bad, unexplainably bad. She doesn’t send a lot of messages, but she had a very suspicious call with Daniel Fenton where, among other things, she hinted she had inside knowledge regarding some kind of local mystery, possibly criminal activity. Her brother accused her of supporting crime.”

Jason groaned. “I’m going to interview their parents.” He checked that the razor blades were stowed away correctly before snapping shut the travel case. Then he noticed that his bathroom mirror could use a wipedown. He left his bag for a moment to dig for the cleaner.

“Probably for the best,” Tim said, definitely misunderstanding his purpose. “They seem…” He trailed off when he couldn’t find an appropriate adjective.

“You should read a book,” Jason said, because he saw an opportunity to be an asshole. “Anyway, I wanna get out to the area tonight and see them in the morning. What’s my flight?” He spritzed the glass and watched his reflection blur. It was oddly comforting to not have to stare at his green eyes.

‘That ghost zone was the same green as the Lazarus Pits,’ Jason thought dully. He didn’t really want to think about it. But he had a pretty good idea why he hadn’t had the reaction to the place that Danny expected a human to have.

“Kon could take you,” Tim said sweetly, which was basically a death threat. It was enough to jar him back to the real world. Kon was still not feeling chill about the Titans Tower scuffle. It probably wasn’t good for him to be so petty, but Jason was not going to be the one to tell baby Superdork that.

Jason winced. “I was thinking more like United.”

Tim snickered.

Happy Pride! Authors choice! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

a continuation of 1

Gus is going exactly eight miles over the speed limit when the sirens start.

This is Shawn’s fault, since he’s the one that had agreed to meet Gavin right before they were supposed to be at Henry’s. When he glances up to see the large, white cop heading towards him, he decides that if Shawn’s gotten him into this mess, he can get him out.

Shawn is very, very serious about keeping his work and personal life separate, but this is the one instance that he encourages Gus to break that barrier. If more major cities had a diverse police force, he wouldn’t feel like it was necessary quite so often. 

Unfortunately, since Shawn has yet to get the appropriate stationary, he’ll have to go back a generation with this trick.

“What’s this?” the officer says, staring at the back of his license.

“Oh, that’s my father in law’s old police business card,” he says. Shawn reaches out for it back when he does this, but Gus keeps his hands on ten and two. “Apologies, sir, I’ve been carrying that thing around for years. Can never be too careful, as I’m sure you know.”

His eyes flick to Gus’s hand and the gold band on his ring finger. “You’re Henry Spencer’s son-in-law?”

“Yes, sir,” he answers evenly. “I’m actually headed to his place now. You know how he is about punctuality.”

That gets him half a chuckle and the tension in his shoulders starts to ease, up until the officer asks, “I thought Henry had a son?”

It can be a delicate balance, weighing the potential racism against the potential homophobia, but this isn’t Gus’s first time doing this either. “Lots of people think that. It’s the unfortunate name choice.”

That gets him some more sounds of amusements, then his license is being handed back to him. “Tell Henry and the missus that old Kingfisher says hello.”

“Of course, thank you, sir,” Gus says, pleasant smile firmly in place until old Kingfisher is back in his car.

He carefully pulls back onto the road and stays five below the speed limit the rest of the way.

There’s a lack of rusted piece of junk motorcycle out front – Gus would prefer it if Shawn would just buy a decent bike, but he likes tinkering too much for that – and he wishes he was surprised. Henry’s grilling in the yard and he waves a hand in greeting as soon as he steps out. “Gus! What the hell are you driving?”

If only Shawn was here right now, because he’d said the exact same thing when he’d pulled up in the blue Echo and he was still valiantly fighting against the very real truth that he and his father can be uncannily alike. “It’s a rental.”

Henry wrinkles his nose, but any further commentary is cut off by an obnoxiously loud engine as Shawn turns the corner and parks next to him, kicking down the stand and pulling off his helmet in one motion. He clocks the look on both their faces immediately and holds up a hand. “I know, I know, don’t be the moldy grape at the bottom of the bag about it. I’ll fix it this weekend. I’ve already put in the order for some of the parts.”

That’s sort of the truth. They’re going to the junkyard on Saturday so Shawn can play Frankenstein, but there are a couple things he buys new every time because one motorcycle accident due to a worn belt was one too many for Gus.

“Can’t you two just get a couple of normal cars?” Henry sighs.

“This is a normal car!” he protests, holding the gate for Shawn to walk ahead of him. He really hopes that he didn’t meet with the mayor in jeans and a flannel, but he also knows better. Shawn slaps his ass as he walks by, and he’s tempted to yank him back into a kiss, but Henry hasn’t seen them since he picked them up at the airport and he figures they can be on somewhat good behavior for at least one dinner.

“I have dubbed it the Blueberry,” Shawn says, using the same voice he does when giving stupid names to chess pieces.

Henry rolls his eyes even as he pulls Shawn down to ruffle his hair, causing him to yelp and pull away, even though the helmet had flattened it enough that he’s probably doing Shawn a favor.

It’s all normal and familiar and they eat dinner on the porch, the weather a welcome relief after the last couple of years on the East Coast. Gus is thinking about how nice it is to be back in Santa Barbara and how much happier Henry looks than when he was in Miami, and that’s probably only partly to he and Shawn moving back too, when Henry says, “What are you boys doing for work now? Gus, Shawn said something about you working on some sort of drug trial?”

Which is when he realizes that Shawn hasn’t told Henry why they’re back like he promised he would and Gus should have known that he would chicken out, but now he’s trapped at this table. He considers simply fleeing and locking Shawn out until he talks to his father. Henry’s seen him do worse.

There’s really no such thing as impressing the in-laws for him. Well, maybe with Madeline, but Henry knows him too well and has known him too long for there to be any of that. Shawn’s mother has too, technically, but he saw her a lot less than Henry.

“Yeah, he’s an executive at Middle Earth Pharmaceuticals,” Shawn says, as if Gus hasn’t frozen with the fork halfway to his mouth. Henry is frowning. It’s too late.

“It’s Central Coast Pharmaceuticals, Shawn,” he says, lowering his fork. Henry’s steak is his favorite and now he can’t even enjoy it because it’s a steak built on lies.

He shrugs. “I’ve heard it both ways. They want him to revamp their internal systems and rearrange some routes. Plus they’re hoping they can use his contacts to make more sales.”

That last part had been more implied than listed in his job duties, but he’s not wrong. “More or less.”

“Alright,” Henry says slowly, now aware that there’s something wrong but not having yet figured it out. He still has time to run. “What about you, Shawn? Surf instructor? Ballon animal operator? Sommelier?”

“Dad, please, you know I’d never cheat on Gus,” he answers. Gus can feel his knee bouncing underneath the table against his own, the only sign of his anxiety.

Gus clears his throat. “I know you know what a sommelier is, Shawn. You’ve worked at two different wineries.”

“Well, neither of them were French,” he says, as if that doesn’t prove that he knows exactly what it is.

Henry leans back in his seat, staring them down in a way that reminds him uncomfortably of their childhood. The line between Cop Henry and Dad Henry had always been thin and retirement hadn’t really done much to change that. Gus stares at the space over his head while Shawn continues eating with faux obliviousness. Finally, Henry says, “Alright, just tell me. It has to be better than Boston. I hated you working out there with those assholes.”

Gus slinks down in his seat.

Henry frowns before straightening. “You’re not working in Los Angeles again, are you? Shawn, you made enemies there, a lot of them, you can’t just waltz back in, and Karen isn’t there anymore-”

“It’s not Los Angeles,” Shawn interrupts.

His frown deepens. He knows if it was another stupid, casual job then Shawn would have told him already. “This isn’t like Argentina, is it?”

God, Argentina. That had sucked. It was supposed to be legit, and had been, up until Shawn had gotten involved in – well, Gus does his best not to think about it, since he’s not supposed to know anything about it. Neither is Henry. As far as they’re supposed to know, Shawn worked at an Argentinian winery for a year.

And he did! At least on paper.

“Nope,” Shawn says, popping his mouth on the last syllable.

“Alright, enough,” he says, “this is ridiculous, just tell me…” As he trails off, his eyes get wider. Gus doesn’t whimper, because he’s a grown man, and because of exposure. He’s nearly immune to Henry’s temper after all this time.

Nearly.

“Shawn!” he shouts. “You are not working at the SBPD!”

Gus stands abruptly, his chair screeching against the floor. Shawn reaches out to grab onto his shirt, but Gus hops back. “I’ll just get started on the dishes, shall I?”

“Traitor,” Shawn hisses, but Gus refuses to feel bad about this.

As much as he doesn’t want to be a widower, he knows better than to get in-between Shawn and his father.

Syncing Dream [Aespa x M!Reader]

10. Day off becomes show off

Note: hope you know how to fight

Masterlist here

(Side note: i fcking love this gundam armoured aespa fr)

The morning sunlight filtered through the blinds, casting a warm glow over the dorm as Y/n checked his phone. As usual, his mind was prepped for the day’s chaotic schedule, expecting back-to-back appointments, rehearsals, and meetings. But as he scrolled through the group’s calendar, something strange caught his eye.

No rehearsals. No interviews. No photoshoots.

A day off?

Y/n blinked. It had been ages since they’d had a full, unscheduled day since MAMA, and for a moment, he didn’t believe it. After double-checking to make sure he wasn’t missing anything, a small smile tugged at the corner of his lips.

This was the perfect opportunity to give the girls a break—away from the stress and cameras.

Throwing on a hoodie, he knocked on each dorm room door, rousing the group from their sleep.

“Wake up, everyone! I’ve got something planned.”

Giselle was the first to emerge, hair sticking out in all directions, still wrapped in her blanket. She rubbed her eyes groggily. “Is it breakfast? Tell me you made pancakes…”

Y/n chuckled. “Not quite. But get ready. We’re going to the park. I made a lunch basket for us.”

The reaction from the rest of the members was similar—confused but intrigued. Winter poked her head out from her room, eyes half-closed. “A park? What are we, in a drama? And why is it sound romantic” She yawned loudly.

Karina followed suit, still looking half-asleep. “A park sounds… nice, I guess?”

“Hey, we can't just stay indoors when the sky is this nice.” Y/n grinned, clapping his hands together. “Now, let’s get moving.”

An hour later, the group found themselves standing at the entrance of a quaint city park. It wasn’t grand or flashy, just a small, peaceful spot nestled away from the usual bustling city life. A winding path led to a pond, ducks paddling lazily in the water, and a few bicycles stood nearby, available for rent.

“A park, really?” Winter raised an eyebrow, crossing her arms. “This was your big plan?”

Giselle stretched, taking in the scene. “I’m not complaining. It’s nice to have some quiet time.”

Y/n held up a tote bag filled with snacks. “Look, we’ve been running around nonstop for weeks. A relaxing day in the sun will do us all some good.”

Karina eyed him suspiciously. “What kind of snacks?”

Y/n smirked, pulling out bags of sandwiches. “The good kind.”

That seemed to do the trick. With renewed enthusiasm, the girls grabbed a few bikes from the rental stand, gearing up for a leisurely ride along the park’s paths. Y/n followed, feeling confident this would be a simple, peaceful day.

Well, until Ningning almost ran over a duck.

“Watch it!” Y/n called out as the youngest member veered off course, narrowly avoiding the waddling creature.

“I swear these bikes are taller than I remember!” Ningning complained, trying to steady herself. “Or maybe I’ve gotten shorter?”

Meanwhile, Karina wobbled dangerously as she tried to pedal forward, clearly struggling. “I think I forgot how to ride one of these things…”

Before Y/n could offer help, he was too busy dealing with his own issues. As soon as he pushed off, his bike’s front wheel jerked violently to the side, and he lost his balance, crashing into a nearby bush. The sound of his spectacular wipeout echoed through the park, causing an eruption of laughter from the girls.

“Nice strike, Y/n!” Giselle called out, barely able to contain her giggles. “You’re really setting a great example for us!”

Y/n groaned as he disentangled himself from the bush. “Okay, fine. Maybe I suck.”

It took a few minutes—and a lot more laughter—but eventually, they all managed to get moving smoothly. The group cycled leisurely along the park’s paths, the fresh air and rare freedom lifting their spirits. Despite the shaky start, the atmosphere was light and carefree.

At one point, Giselle and Winter challenged each other to a race, leaving the others trailing behind. Y/n, never one to back down, joined in—only to accidentally steer himself and Giselle straight into a patch of tall grass, much to the amusement of Karina and Ningning, who were practically in tears laughing.

“Maybe stick to managing, Y/n,” Karina teased as he pulled his bike free from the grass.

“So mean, Jimin” Y/n grumbled, but he couldn’t help grinning. “I’m just warming up.”

After a while, they parked their bikes near the duck pond and wandered over to feed the ducks. Y/n handed out snacks, though he wasn’t entirely sure feeding crackers to ducks was the right move.

Karina tossed a few pieces into the water, watching as the ducks swam around, fighting over the crumbs. “You’re supposed to give them bread, right?”

“I think we’re not supposed to give them anything, actually,” Y/n replied, scratching his head. “But... they seem happy enough.”

"Yea, they're the presences of their own kind." Winter joked. "Idiots…"

"I heard that, crybaby."

The group spent a good portion of time by the pond, laughing at the antics of the ducks. One particularly clumsy duck kept missing the food, prompting Ningning to point and say, “That one reminds me of Y/n.”

"See? I told you Ning." Winter chimed in, clearly amused by the comparison.

Y/n rolled his eyes, though he couldn’t stop smiling. For the first time in a while, it felt like they could just be themselves, without the constant pressure of schedules, rehearsals, or fans.

Well, except for one fan.

His eyes landed on a figure standing not too far away, partially hidden behind a tree. The person was wearing a hoodie, the hood pulled up over their face. It could’ve been anyone—a park visitor, maybe—but the way they lingered, half-concealed, raised alarm bells.

Y/n’s stomach tightened. He’d seen this kind of behaviour before. Sasaeng.

“Everything okay?” Karina asked, noticing his shift in demeanour.

Y/n kept his voice low, not wanting to alarm the rest of the group. “Don't wanna scare you, but there’s someone following us. Don’t look, he’s at 5 o’clock ”

Karina’s expression darkened. “Sasaeng?”

“Probably,” he confirmed, his eyes never leaving the figure.

Karina let out a frustrated sigh, clearly fed up with the constant intrusion on their privacy. “Can’t we just have one day? Just one?”

Y/n nodded grimly. “Unfortunately, no. But I’m going to check on him.”

Karina hesitated. “Be careful. Some sasaengs... they don’t exactly handle being confronted well.”

Y/n glanced over his shoulder, noticing that the figure had gotten closer. It was now or never. “Ehhh..I’ll be fine. Just stay here with the girls.”

As he approached the sasaeng, his heart raced, but he kept his voice calm and steady. “Hey, my guy, can I help you with something?”

The figure stiffened but didn’t move. Up close, Y/n could see they were holding a phone, angled just enough to capture footage of the group from a distance.

“I’m just a fan,” the person mumbled, their voice muffled under the hood. “I’m not doing anything wrong.”

Y/n clenched his jaw. He didn’t want to escalate the situation, but he also couldn’t let this slide. “Hey hey hey, I understand you’re a fan, and that’s fine. But right now, the girls are trying to enjoy some time off. This is their personal space. Please respect that.”

The sasaeng’s eyes flashed with something Y/n couldn’t quite place—frustration? Defiance? Either way, they didn’t budge. “I’m not leaving. I just want to see them.”

Y/n’s patience was running thin. “I understand, but they just want a breather from the public for today. Please don’t make this a bigger deal than it needs to be.”

The tension hung thick in the air, and for a moment, Y/n wasn’t sure if the sasaeng was going to back down. But then, with a huff of annoyance, they turned and started walking away, though Y/n couldn’t shake the feeling that they weren’t done.

He returned to the girls, who had been watching the whole exchange from a distance. Karina must've told them.

“Did they leave?” Giselle asked quietly.

“For now,” Y/n replied, though his gut told him this wouldn’t be the last time they saw that particular fan.

Winter’s expression softened. “You handled that well, you know.”

Y/n shrugged, trying to play it off. “Part of the job.”

When the fun resumed, Ningning was busy trying to feed a particularly stubborn duck while Giselle and Karina lounged on the grass, seemingly forgetting tension that had just passed.

“You good?” Karina asked, her tone casual, though Y/n could tell she was watching him closely. "You've been tense since that happened."

“Yeah,” Y/n nodded, giving her a reassuring smile. “Everything’s fine.”

But as the day went on, Y/n couldn’t shake the nagging feeling that they were being watched. Every now and then, he’d glance over his shoulder, half-expecting to see the sasaeng again.

It wasn’t until they were packing up to leave that he caught another glimpse—this time, from a different part of the park. The same hooded figure, lurking in the shadows, watching them.

Y/n’s stomach twisted. That guy hadn’t left.

As they piled into the van, he made a mental note to stay vigilant. Today had been fun, but he knew the peaceful days were always short-lived when it came to protecting the girls.

As the van pulled away, Karina, sitting next to him, gave him a sideways glance. “You think we’re safe?”

Y/n forced a smile. “We’re always safe... as long as I’m around.”

"Damn, Oppa is confident now." Ningning teased.

"That's how I blitz through things, Ning-ah."

But deep down, he knew things were getting more complicated. Being their manager was more than just keeping track of schedules and rehearsals. He had to protect them, even on their days off.

And something told him that this wouldn’t be the last time he’d face off with that sasaeng.

-

The fan meet was supposed to be the highlight of the week—one of those heartwarming moments where aespa could connect directly with their fans.

However, things were rarely so simple for Y/n.

The chaos of his daily life as the group’s manager had become his new normal, but today was different. He could feel it in the pit of his stomach, a gnawing anxiety he couldn’t quite shake.

It wasn’t just the usual nerves, either. Ever since the incident at the park with the sasaeng, Y/n had been on high alert, his senses sharper than ever. Though the obsessive fan hadn’t made a direct reappearance, there were subtle signs—cryptic messages left on social media, strange accounts following aespa’s every move, and more importantly, a lingering presence. Y/n knew they hadn’t been forgotten.

It already has issued into SM, but Y/n was still definitely on high alert.

Still, today was about the fans. The usual logistics of organizing a fan meet were challenging enough, but this time, Y/n had to be even more vigilant. He’d personally gone through each gift from the fans, carefully making sure there were no suspicious items. Everything seemed to be in order, and the meet was progressing smoothly.

The girls were laughing, chatting with their fans, and signing albums while cameras flashed, capturing every moment. Y/n was supposed to be standing off to the side, handling minor hiccups as they came. But the real trouble began when the gifts started piling up backstage.

“Y/n, can you help me move these?” one of the staff members called out, struggling with a box of gifts that had been left near the entrance. Y/n nodded, quickly setting aside his tablet and running to help.

The problem? He hadn’t exactly been paying attention to where the gifts were being taken.

Somewhere between moving boxes and juggling event logistics, Y/n realised he had lost track of the pile of fan gifts meant to be distributed to aespa later. By the time the fan meet was in full swing, fans were asking about their gifts, only for Y/n to feel a rising sense of panic as he scanned the backstage area, the gifts nowhere in sight.

“Where are they?” he muttered to himself, running his hands through his hair in frustration.

Giselle, noticing his distress, sidled up to him with a teasing grin. “Lost something, Y/n?”

"…maybe?"

"Oh." Giselle replied nonchalantly. "Surely not the fan gift right?"

He sighed heavily, rubbing the back of his neck. “I may or may not have misplaced the gifts... all of them.”

Giselle let out a snort of laughter, causing Ningning, who was standing nearby, to join in. “Seriously? All of them? Haven't seen you messed up majorly for a while.”

Y/n groaned. “Yeah, yeah, laugh it up. But this is bad. The fans are going to freak out.”

Ningning shook her head, still giggling. “Don’t worry about it. Fans love sitcoms—it’s relatable. They’ll probably get a kick out of it. You know, seeing their gifts disappear into the void, never to return.”

Y/n managed a weak smile, appreciating their attempts to lighten the mood. “You’re probably right. Still... this is not my best image yet.”

The girls, seeing how genuinely stressed he was, huddled around him in support. “Don’t sweat it,” Karina said, giving him a reassuring nudge. “We’ve dealt with worse. Besides, the fans are here to see us, not obsess over some missing gifts.”

"Confident much?"

"Someone did say that's how he blitz through life." Karina mocked. "Now I thought about it, it was you, Y/n"

He appreciated their positivity, but the uneasy feeling in his chest refused to go away. The gifts were one thing, but his gut told him that something far more sinister was on the horizon.

As the fan meet began to wind down, Y/n made his rounds, keeping a watchful eye on the crowd. Most of the fans were energetic and cheerful, thrilled to be interacting with aespa, but he couldn’t help scanning for any suspicious faces.

That’s when he saw the guy.

Near the back of the room, hidden among a cluster of fans, was the same hooded figure from the park. His blood ran cold. It was the sasaeng, and they hadn’t come empty-handed.

"Guards on standby, we got a Code S." Y/n talked over the radio. "Please don’t cause a scene and find him."

Without causing a scene, Y/n subtly moved closer, positioning himself between the sasaeng and the girls. As he did, he noticed something glinting under the sleeve of the sasaeng’s hoodie—a knife.

His heart skipped a beat, and the world seemed to slow down. This is it.

Y/n had been trained for situations like this (he said trained, but he only had a taekwondo certificate a while ago), but nothing could truly prepare him for the moment it actually happened. He quickly scanned the area, assessing his options. Security wasn’t close enough to intervene immediately, and he didn’t want to alarm the fans or the group.

With a deep breath, Y/n locked eyes with the sasaeng. “Hey, you, nice seeing you again,” he called out, his voice steady but firm. “I need to talk to you.”

The sasaeng’s eyes darted to Y/n, and for a split second, Y/n saw it—the sheer obsession, the dangerous mix of admiration and delusion. The sasaeng clutched the knife tighter, their knuckles white.

"Ah fcking damn it…" Y/n muttered.

There was no time to wait for backup.

Y/n lunged forward, grabbing the sasaeng by the arm. The fan reacted immediately, swinging the knife wildly in his direction. He narrowly dodged the blade, adrenaline coursing through his veins as he wrestled the weapon from their grasp. The crowd hadn’t yet noticed the struggle, too focused on aespa.

The sasaeng fought back, landing a punch to Y/n’s side, but he didn’t let go. He managed to twist the fan’s arm behind their back, forcing the knife to clatter to the ground. Finally, security rushed in, pulling the sasaeng away and detaining them.

Panting, Y/n stood there, clutching his side, still trying to process what had just happened. The girls had noticed by now, their faces pale with shock. Ningning and Giselle were the first to rush over.

“Oppa! Are you okay?” Ningning asked, her eyes wide with concern.

Y/n nodded, swallowing hard. “Yeah... yeah, still alive.”

The fan meet was quickly wrapped up after that, with security escorting the sasaeng out and the remaining fans ushered toward the exits. The event had been going so well until that moment, and the sudden chaos left everyone rattled.

Later, in the safety of their van, the girls were silent, the weight of what had happened hanging in the air. Winter was whimpering after her intense bawling from worrying about her childhood friend. Y/n could just only chuckle at his adorable best friend.

“You saved us,” Karina finally said, her voice quiet but full of gratitude. “That could’ve been so much worse if you hadn’t been there.”

Y/n shook his head, still processing everything. “I was just doing my job.”

But the gravity of what he’d done wasn’t lost on anyone, least of all him.

-

The next day, Y/n rolled out of bed with a groan. His body still ached from the scuffle with the sasaeng, and while he wasn’t one to complain, the dull throb in his side was a constant reminder of yesterday’s chaos. He stretched, wincing slightly, before getting ready for the day.

Today was supposed to be business as usual—another trip to the SM building for rehearsals and meetings—but nothing about this day felt normal. After all, it wasn’t every day that you made headlines for tackling an obsessed fan. And while Y/n wasn’t exactly thrilled about the attention, he knew it was inevitable. He’d been in the industry long enough to know how fast news spread, especially when it involved something as dramatic as a knife-wielding sasaeng.

When he met up with the girls during breakfast in the living area, they were already buzzing with energy. Kind of wild that they moved on from the incident that quickly.

Ningning grinned at him, clearly enjoying the spotlight this incident had brought to their usually quiet manager.

“Ready for your big day, supernova?” she teased, nudging him as they walked toward the van.

Y/n shot her a look, shaking his head. “Please, no, Ning. Can we not make a big deal out of this?”

“Too late,” Giselle piped up from behind, her voice full of amusement. “The whole building’s probably talking about you right now. Yunjin and Somi is gushing in the gc at the moment.”

As much as Y/n wanted to protest, he knew she was right. Ever since the news broke, he’d been flooded with messages—both from fans and people in the industry. It was surreal, really. He’d never expected to be at the centre of attention, especially not for something like this.

When they arrived at the SM building, the atmosphere was different. Usually, the bustling halls were full of staff going about their daily business, but today, there was an undeniable buzz in the air.

As soon as they stepped inside, heads turned. The receptionist, who usually gave them a polite nod, smiled broadly at Y/n, her eyes twinkling with admiration. “Good morning, hero,” she greeted him, her tone playful.

Y/n blushed, ducking his head awkwardly. “Morning…"

The teasing only got worse as they moved through the building. Other managers, particularly Minji and Joon, came up to him, clapping him on the back and offering words of congratulations.

“Hey, Y/n! Saw the news—man, that was some serious balls. How are you feeling?”Joon asked, giving him a firm pat on the shoulder.

“I’m fine,” Y/n mumbled, trying to downplay it. “Just... doing my job.”

“Doing your job?” Minji laughed. “You tackled a guy with a knife! I’d say that’s a bit more than your typical day’s work.”

Before Y/n could respond, a familiar voice called out from behind him. “There he is—the man, the myth, the legend!”

Y/n turned to see Taeyong and Mark from NCT walking toward him, grinning from ear to ear. Taeyong immediately pulled him into a friendly hug, his eyes twinkling with pride. “We saw what happened, Y/n. That was insane. Are you sure you’re not secretly an action movie star or something?”

Mark nodded enthusiastically, his smile wide. “Dude, you’re like the coolest manager now. Everyone’s talking about how you saved the day.”

Y/n’s face flushed with embarrassment. “I secretly invested my stats in strength.”

But the teasing didn’t stop there. As they made their way up to the practice rooms, other idols—some Y/n had trained with back in the day—came up to him with wide grins and playful jabs. It was overwhelming, to say the least.

The final straw came when they passed by one of the SM rookies who was clearly too shy to approach him directly. The young trainee whispered to their friend, their eyes wide with awe as they looked at Y/n. “Is that him? The manager who stopped the sasaeng? He looks so cool...”

Y/n sighed, shaking his head as the girls stifled their laughter. He could feel the heat rising in his cheeks, but there was no escaping it. He had become the talk of the building, whether he liked it or not.

By the time they reached the practice room, Y/n was ready to crawl into a hole and hide. But the girls, ever perceptive, noticed how uncomfortable he was and rallied around him.

“Look,” Karina said, giving him a rare smile, “you might hate the attention, but we’re really grateful for what you did. That was seriously brave.”

“Yeah,” Winter added, her voice soft but sincere. “You're maybe an idiot, but you were genuinely cool back there.”

Ningning, of course, couldn’t resist adding her own playful twist. “Plus, now you’re famous! Maybe you’ll get your own fanbase.”

Y/n groaned, burying his face in his hands. “Please, no fanbase. That’s the last thing I need.”

But despite his protests, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride. The girls’ words meant more to him than any praise from strangers. They were the ones he had sworn to protect, after all.

As they settled into their rehearsal, Y/n leaned back against the wall, watching the group with a small smile. The chaos of the past few days had been overwhelming, but it had also solidified his place in their lives. He wasn’t just their manager anymore—he was part of their family.

Just as he thought things had finally calmed down, the door to the practice room burst open, and Seulgi from Red Velvet, his bias, poked her head in. “Ya, Y/n! Heard you’re the building’s new hero! When’s the movie adaptation coming out?”

"Seulgi-noona, not you too…"

The girls burst into laughter as Y/n groaned again, knowing he’d never live this down.

But deep down, he didn’t mind. He faced down a knife-wielding sasaeng, after all. He could handle a bit of teasing.

WISDOM FROM RICH DAD.

From the book Rich DAD Poor DAD, by Robert Kiyosaki

1. Don’t work for money:

Rich don’t work for money. If you work for money, your mind will start thinking like an employee. If you start thinking differently like a rich man, you will see things differently. Rich works on their asset column, every dollar in their asset column is their hard-working employee.

2. Don’t be controlled by emotions:

Some people’s lives are always controlled by the two emotions of fear and greed. Fear keeps people in this trap of working hard, earning money, working hard, earning money, and hoping that it will reduce their fear. Secondly, most of us have the greed to get rich quickly. Yes, many people become rich overnight, but they have no financial education. So educate yourself and don’t be greedy or fearful.

3. Acquire assets:

Don’t buy liabilities on your way to financial freedom. People buy liabilities and think these are assets, but they are not. Many people buy luxuries first, like big cars, heavy bikes, or big houses to live in. But the rich buy assets and their assets buy luxuries. The rich buy houses and rent them, and they pay them for their Lamborghinis. The poor or middle class buy luxuries first, and the rich buy luxuries last.

4. Remember the KISS principle:

KISS stands for keeping it simple, and stupid. Don’t be too overloaded your mind when you are going to start your way to financial freedom. Things are simple and keep them simple. The simple thing to remember is assets put money in pocket and liabilities take money out of pocket. Always buy assets so they put money into your pocket.

5. Know the difference between assets and liabilities:

Assets are anything that puts money in your pocket, like stocks, bonds, real estate, mutual funds, rental properties, etc. Liabilities are anything that pulls money out of your pocket, like your house, your car, debt, etc. People think their home is their biggest asset, but it is not. A house is an asset when it generates money like when you rent a house, it generates money, and when your life in that house becomes a liability.

6. Don’t be a financial illiterate:

A person can be highly educated and become successful in their profession, but financially illiterate. Financial education is very important for any individual. Our schools and colleges did not teach us financial education. Many financial problems arise as a result of a lack of financial education. Start learning financial education and I suggest you read the book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad".

7. Increase your Wealth:

Wealth is defined as a person's ability to survive for a certain number of days in the future, or how long they could survive if they stopped working today. Consider your wealth and whether you would survive if you stopped working today for a year.

8. Mind your own business:

If you have a job, keep your job and start a part-time business and work it. Use the time that you spend on your iPhone, parties, or any other activity, to build your business. Never leave your job until you build your own business. Don’t struggle all of your life for someone else. Start your own business and grow your business.

9. Train your mind:

Your biggest asset is your mind. Many individuals watch opportunities with their eyes, but if you train your mind, you can see opportunities with your mind. If you train your mind well, it can create enormous wealth.

10. Learn technical skills:

Your financial IQ will be raised by learning these four technical skills:

Accounting is defined as the ability to read numbers. If you want to build an empire, then this is an essential skill. By learning this skill, you will be able to understand the strength and weaknesses of a business.

Investing: It is the science of making money.

Understanding markets: It is the science of supply and demand.

The Law: A person who has knowledge of the law of tax advantages and corporations can get rich faster than others.

11. Find opportunities that everyone else missed:

"Great opportunities are not seen with your eyes. They are seen with your mind. "

You can see many more opportunities with your mind than many people miss with their eyes. It is not rocket science, you just need to train your mind.

12. Learn to manage risk:

Investment is not risky, not knowing the investment is risky. If you want to reduce the risk, then increase your knowledge. This knowledge will not come by going to college, it will come by reading books or sitting with people who know the investment.

13. Learn management:

The main management skills are:

Management of cash flow

Management of system

Management of people

Sales and marketing are the most essential skills. The ability to sell and the ability to communicate with another human being, be it a customer, employee, fiancé, friend, or child, is a basic skill of personal success.

14. Manage fear:

“Failure inspires winners. Failure defeats losers.”

Everyone has a fear of losing money.

EVIDENCE COLLECTED:

Analysis of victim’s body

On March 11, 20XX, the body was stripped naked, with the face smashed and fingerprints burnt off. Marks around the neck indicated the cause of death was strangulation. The victim’s clothes were found nearby, half-burnt in an oil can. Estimated time of death is after 6pm on March 10.

Record from stay in a rental room

The hair found in the room and the hair found on the body were confirmed to be the same via DNA testing, as were the fingerprints in the room and on the stolen bike. The victim signed in as Shiloh Monroe, allowing the police to confirm his identity.

Stolen bike

A brand new bicycle that was chained to the pavement was stolen on March 10, between 11 AM and 10 PM. It was found near the murder site with its tires slashed. Forensics found that the victim’s prints were the same as the ones found in the rental room that he was staying in.

Victim’s whereabouts days before the murder

The victim had visited Ellie’s former workplace, Club Happy, on the 5th of March. The staff mentioned that he was looking for her current whereabouts.

Ellie’s Testimony

Miss Ellie claimed she worked until 6pm as usual. This was confirmed by her boss, Miss Angeline. After that, she brought her son to watch the movies with her at 7pm, until 9.10pm, as indicated by the movie stubs she hadn’t thrown away. After which, they had ramen, before going to a karaoke joint together, being present by 9.40pm. By this testimony, they would have reached home after 11pm.

After Ratio’s confession, she notes that someone would call her in the evening 5 times before giving up. She mentioned this started 3 months ago, where an anonymous caller would call her every day at the same time. She was unable to tell the voice was Mr Ratio’s as they did not speak frequently.

Orpheus’ Testimony

Mr Orpheus claimed to have visit after the murder had happened to ask how she was doing. He is aware of Ellie’s past working in Club Happy, and has a general dislike towards the victim for how he treated Miss Ellie. He is romantically attracted to Miss Ellie, and is vehemently convinced she didn’t kill him.

Angeline’s Testimony

She stayed back after 6pm to check the stock of the convenience store, which takes 1-2 hours, before driving back home. She does not stay near the murder scene. She claims not to even know the victim was in town.

Ratio’s Original Testimony

Mr Ratio claimed he had after-school activities, arriving home at around 6 or 7pm. He would then stay at home to work on math problems late into the night. He claimed not to know Miss Ellie very well.

Ratio’s unusual leave application

The school Mr Ratio works at claims he only takes leave in the morning once a month to work on math problems through the night. However, he took leave on the mornings of March 10 and 11. Mr Ratio claims he worked through the night of March 9, and took his leave on March 10, but ended up feeling unwell on the morning of March 11, but he felt well enough to come in the afternoon, and did so.

Ratio’s Confession

Mr Ratio suddenly turned himself in, confessing to the murder of Shiloh Monroe. He saw the victim loitering outside Miss Ellie’s apartment, and went to talk to him. He asked the victim about his actions, where he learnt that the victim had business with Miss Ellie. Ratio then misdirected him to meet near the crime scene at around 11 pm. The victim got lost, and attempted to call Mr Ratio for help, who travelled to the scene by stealing an old, rusty bike. The victim, unaware that Mr Ratio was approaching him to murder him, continued to describe his surroundings to Mr Ratio. With the element of surprise and his much larger size, he effortlessly and quickly killed the victim, before cutting his clothes off with a box cutter, using a nearby rock to smash his face apart and burning his fingerprints off with a lighter. He set the clothes on fire but left as the fire rose too high, and he was afraid he might attract attention. The box cutter and the lighter were found in his apartment.

He claims to have confessed as Miss Ellie “betrayed” him as she was “seeing another man”.

He claims to be Miss Ellie’s bodyguard, and listens into her apartment with the listening device, where she would communicate with him by talking to him.

Luke’s note of Ratio’s new behaviour

Luke notes that Mr Ratio had suddenly began to be more conscious of his appearance than before, and that he noticed that Mr Ratio was jealous when he saw Mr Orpheus and Miss Ellie in the convenience store.

The Engineer’s sudden disappearance

Adam, a homeless man, suddenly went missing on the evening of March 10.

Ellie’s heater’s wire

A heater with a smooth, insulated rubber wire. It seems to not match the marks around the victim’s neck.

Ratio’s heater’s wire

A heater with a insulated braided fabric wire. It seems to match the marks around the victim’s neck.

Listening device in Ratio’s apartment

A small, rudimentary listening device, which allows someone from Mr Ratio’s apartment to faintly listen into Miss Ellie’s apartment.

Sighting from Miss Ellie after her first dinner with Mr Orpheus

She claimed to see someone near her house. It was raining, so this person had an opened umbrella. They left quickly, but Miss Ellie notes this figure was taller than her.

Sighting from a grocery shop owner

A grocery shop owner who is near to the payphone closest to Miss Ellie and Mr Ratio’s apartment complex claimed to have noticed someone matching Mr Ratio’s description frequent the payphone.

Letters to Ellie

A typed letter that threatens Miss Ellie to stop seeing Mr Orpheus, or he would lead him “to the same fate Shiloh suffered”. There are two images of Mr Orpheus inside. This letter was found in her mailbox.

After learning of Ratio’s confession, she surrendered more letters she had found in her mail. All were typewritten. The first letter insists she dress more plainly and to come home right after work. The second letter implores her to confide in him, and only him. The third letter warns her that he is afraid that she had betrayed him in some way.

Letter to Orpheus

A typed, threatening letter telling Mr Orpheus to stay away from Miss Ellie. A picture of Miss Ellie and Mr Orpheus is enclosed inside.

[pbandjesse]

It was a really nice day off. I felt like we accomplished a lot and it was just a good day.

I didn't sleep great but it happened easier then the night before. I got woke up a lot though which was a little frustrating but it's fine. I felt alright when I woke up.

James had left me a note that they were on a bike ride and would be home soon. So I got up. And made the bed. And went to get dressed.

James got home as I was finishing up. And it was so nice to see their face. They were a little gross from getting splashed on the road. They would make me a little peanut butter and jelly sandwich before they went to sleep a shower.

I posted up on the couch and ate my little sandwich and worked on my knitting.

And I would finish sewing all my squares together!! I was so proud. I would continue to work on those later.

I cleaned up the mice tank. They continue to be crispy. I would try rinsing them a few times but then they are all wet and I think they are unhappy being wet. I'm trying my best. But when you Google how to clean a mouse you just get computer information. Ugh.

We would head out to run some errands. We were waiting to hear from the Fulwilers if they needed a ride to the rental car place. But while we were out they let us know that the place didn't have any today so maybe tomorrow. Ah well.

We would just do our errands then. First we went to the pet store and got a new kitty litter tray and kitty litter. We also got fish food and mouse pellets. I am trying to soak them in the kitten milk to slowly wean them over this week and hopefully get them more nutrients. It was fun walking around looking at the creatures with James. There were ferrets going wild wresting. I also liked the birds. It was just fun.

After we paid we walked over to party city to look at costumes and decorations. James got me a squishmallow keychain of a sea cow and a blind box of a sanrio character. We also got a couple pieces of candy. It was fun. I was having a good time.

We went to the grocery store next. I was frustrated by how expensive things were. But we got the few little things we needed. And headed to staples.

We were actually supposed to go there after the pet store but James forgot. So we were back tracking a bit. But that was alright. We had nowhere to be. It was our day.

Staples was strange. Like the location was weird. It was surrounded by trees in all sides and seemed hidden. James had ordered online for pick up and we went to the counter but no one was coming to help. Eventually I saw someone who worked there and James went and got them and we were able to leave with the printer ink we needed. But we were waiting for a while. I just laid my head on James's chest and honestly it was nice.

We would go to a diner for lunch next. It was the one in Towson I like. Just a standard diner. All chrome and run by Greeks. We both got sandwiches and listened to the Jewish family next to us. The grandfather was so old and seems so fun. He had lots of stories and we were both enjoying ease dropping a little.

We also talked about Christmas and travel. We were both a little tired I think. We joked about Taylor swift and the football boy. We talked about family. And babies. And I just felt good. Happy.

We also got to see the restaurant photographing their menu items. Like nice photography lights all set up. It was neat!

I asked James if we were near the goodwill. And they said yes and so after we paid we went over there.

The goodwill was really busy for some reason. And we didn't buy anything. But I had fun looking around. Pointing out silly stuff. I found another steamer trunk but James says I've hit my lifetime limit. Which seems wrong!! But it's fine.

We went home after that. We had much to do at home.

When we got back here we brought everything inside and I started putting things away. We got Sweetp a new toy so I got that set up for him. It's a sloth on a string and you fill it with catnip and hang it from a door frame so they can pull on it and it bounces up. I'm not positive it's long enough for our doors but that's fine. He still seems to like it.

We would work on cleaning. We walked through each room and decided what each space needed.

We changed out the kitty litter to the new box. Got the box that it lives in fixed up to. I cleaned the whole thing and tightened all the screws. And vacuumed and wiped surfaces. I felt like we were doing really good.

I got a little tired while James was cleaning the bathroom. So I washed my hands and got a drink and got on the couch.

Where I kept sewing. And it took a while but by 630 I was done!! I was not expecting that. I'm thrilled. I will still have to sew down the little ends but it's basically finished. It is smaller then the one I made my dad but it's about 55x55 and is so cozy. It's great. I can't wait to start my next project.

James would play DND with their friends for a while. Not to long. I got to show them my blanket when I finished and they hyped me up and that felt good.

While they were playing with them I tried to wash and blow dry the mice. Which mostly worked. The blow-dryer is to loud but I think it helped a little at least. On high it made them fall over though and that was an accident and I felt so bad. But they seem less crispy right now at least.

The heat came in in the apartment which was really surprising to me. I didn't realize it was cooler then 44 degrees outside (which is when the heat automatically comes on). Glad it's working. I'm just surprised!

I showered and washed my hair and painted my toes. It was a really nice day. I am ready to sleep now though. Tomorrow we have a huge group at camp. It's the same indigo group but with 98 kindergarteners. Wish us luck because that's going to be a lot!

I hope you all sleep well tonight. Take care of eachother. Until next time!!

Bike Rentals vs. Cab Rides: Which Is More Affordable?

When it comes to daily travel, saving money is a priority for most people. Some prefer the comfort of a cab ride, while others enjoy the freedom of a bike rental. If you are looking for a clear answer on which is more affordable, you have come to the right place. In this article, we will compare the costs of taking cabs with using bike rental services. We will also explore how a service like ONN Bikes can help you save money. By the end, you will know which option fits your lifestyle and budget best.

Travel is a part of our everyday lives. Whether you need to get to work, run errands, or explore a new city, reliable transport is key. Over the last few years, there has been a rise in bike rental options. At the same time, cab rides remain a popular choice for many.

But which one saves you more money? Is it better to rent a bike for short trips? Or is it smarter to book a cab ride for comfort? There is no one-size-fits-all answer, but this guide will help you think about your needs and pick the right mode of transport.

If you are new to bike rentals or want to learn how renting a bike could be more affordable, read on. We will discuss what you need to consider before making a decision. We will also talk about ONN Bikes, a service that has made a name for itself in the bike rental market.

A Look at Costs

Bike Rental Costs

Hourly or Daily Rates: Most bike rental services charge by the hour or day. This means you can pay for only the time you need. If you are smart about planning, you can rent a bike for a few hours and save money.

Fuel Efficiency: Bikes use less fuel than cars, so you will spend less on fuel. Some bike rental services may even provide the bike with fuel included for short-term rides.

Maintenance and Insurance: Many bike rental providers factor the cost of maintenance into the rental price. This means you will not have to worry about servicing the bike on your own.

Cab Ride Costs

Base Fare and Per-Kilometer Charges: Cab services often charge a fixed starting fare, plus a per-kilometer rate. These rates can increase during peak hours or because of surge pricing.

Waiting Charges: If you are stuck in traffic or need the driver to wait, extra charges may apply. This can quickly add up when you are going from one place to another in a busy city.

Tipping (Optional in Some Places): In many regions, tipping drivers is common. This cost, while optional, can still make each ride more expensive.

3. Factors That Affect Your Decision

Before you pick between a bike rental and a cab ride, consider the following factors:

Distance: If you have a short trip, a bike rental might be cheaper. Longer distances might need more thought, especially if you have to deal with highways or heavy traffic.

Time of Day: Cab fares can go up during rush hour. Bike rentals have fixed costs for the duration you choose, which can be beneficial if you are traveling during peak times.

Comfort Needs: Do you need air conditioning, or are you okay riding a bike in hot or rainy weather? Your comfort needs can play a role in your final decision.

Traffic: If you are traveling in a congested area, riding a bike could save you time. Cabs can get stuck in traffic, and you might have to pay extra if the meter keeps running.

Personal Safety Concerns: Safety is important. If you are not used to riding a bike or find traffic in a city stressful, a cab might feel safer. On the other hand, bike rentals can be safe if you are a confident rider and follow traffic rules.

Pros of Bike Rentals

Opting for a bike rental has several perks. Here are some reasons why many people choose to rent a bike:

Low Cost for Short Trips: If you only need to travel a few kilometers, renting a bike can be very cheap. You pay only for the hours or days you need, and you can return the bike once you are done.

Great Fuel Efficiency: Bikes are known for using less fuel compared to cars. This can help you save money in the long run, especially if you need to travel often.

Easy Parking: Parking a bike is usually simpler than parking a car. You can find small parking spots or designated two-wheeler parking areas more easily than you can find a space for a car.

Smooth Navigation in Traffic: Bikes can move through congested roads better than cars. If you live in a city with heavy traffic, this can cut down your travel time.

Flexibility: With a bike rental, you have the freedom to come and go on your own schedule. You do not have to book a cab or wait for the driver to arrive.

Pros of Cab Rides

Cabs can be a good choice depending on your needs. Here are some of their advantages:

Comfort: You can enjoy the cool air conditioning during hot summers. You also have space to carry luggage, if you need it.

Door-to-Door Service: Cabs pick you up from your location and drop you off exactly where you want. This is especially helpful in new cities where you might not be familiar with the roads.

No Driving Stress: Some people do not like driving or riding a bike in busy traffic. When you book a cab, you do not have to worry about maneuvering through crowded areas.

Ideal for Groups: If you are traveling with friends or family, splitting the fare can make a cab ride cheap for everyone involved.

Why ONN Bikes Stands Out

ONN Bikes is a service that has made bike rentals easy and affordable. If you are thinking about renting a bike, ONN Bikes can be a great choice. Here is why:

Wide Range of Bikes: They have many types of bikes to suit different needs. From simple scooters for city rides to powerful bikes for longer journeys, you can pick what fits you.

Easy Booking Process: Their website and app are user-friendly. You can pick your rental period, choose a bike, and make the payment in a few steps.

Affordable Rates: One of the biggest benefits of ONN Bikes is their competitive pricing. Their plans can help you stick to your budget while enjoying the freedom of a personal ride.

Reliable Service: They make sure the bikes are well-maintained, so you do not have to worry about sudden breakdowns or poor performance.

Real-Life Scenarios

Daily Commute

Bike Rental: If you work in a busy city and your office is a few kilometers away, renting a bike could cut your travel costs. You only pay for the hours or days you need, and you can navigate through traffic with ease.

Cab Ride: If you have a very long commute or if the weather is bad, you might prefer a cab. You will pay more, but you can ride in comfort.

Weekend Errands

Bike Rental: Suppose you have to run multiple errands in different parts of town. Renting a bike for the day might be cheaper than booking multiple short cab rides. You can park almost anywhere and hop back on the bike when you are ready.

Cab Ride: If you have a lot of groceries to carry, you might prefer a cab. But remember that multiple short rides can add up fast.

Traveling in a New City

Bike Rental: If you are exploring a new city, renting a bike can be an exciting way to see the sights. You can stop anywhere you like, save on fuel, and avoid waiting for cabs.

Cab Ride: If you do not know the area well, a cab might feel safer. You can also rely on the driver's local knowledge. But if you plan to roam around all day, the fare could be high.

Group Outings

Bike Rental: If each friend rents a bike, you can travel in a group, but each person bears their own cost. This can be fun for shorter trips or weekend getaways.

Cab Ride: For a group of four or more, one cab might be enough, and the fare can be split. This could be cheaper if the group is large, but you lose the independence that comes with having your own ride.

Money-Saving Tips

Here are some ways to spend less on your daily travel:

Plan Your Route: Before heading out, know where you want to go. This will help you avoid backtracking and wasting fuel.

Check for Discounts: Some bike rental services offer promo codes. Keep an eye on special offers and deals that might lower your rental costs.

Compare Prices: There are many cab and bike rental apps. Spend a few minutes comparing prices before you commit to one.

Avoid Peak Hours: If possible, travel during off-peak times. This can help you avoid surge pricing in cabs and reduce time stuck in traffic on a bike.

Join Loyalty Programs: Many services reward regular users with points or discounts. If you use bike rentals often, see if the company has a loyalty program.

Conclusion

Both bike rentals and cab rides have their own strengths. The right choice depends on your travel needs and what you value more: comfort, cost, or convenience. Bike rentals can save you money on short trips and give you the freedom to ride on your own schedule. Cabs, on the other hand, are a good option if you prioritize comfort and do not like riding in bad weather or heavy traffic.

If saving money is your main goal, bike rentals are often the better choice. A service like ONN Bikes takes it a step further by offering a range of bikes at wallet-friendly rates. They also have flexible rental periods and user-friendly booking. This makes them ideal for students, professionals, and travelers who want an affordable way to get around.

Consider trying out a bike rental the next time you need to get somewhere. You might find that it reduces your daily travel costs and makes your journey more enjoyable. Whether you want a short ride to the grocery store or a long ride for a weekend getaway, ONN Bikes could be your go-to option.

If you're a first-time rider, renting a motorcycle is the perfect way to experience this amazing city. With stunning roads like Pacific Coast Highway and winding mountain routes, renting a motorcycle gives you the freedom to explore at your own pace. Whether you’re a seasoned rider or a newbie, motorcycle rentals San Diego offer you the chance to create unforgettable memories.

Why Renting a Motorcycle in San Diego Is the Best Option

San Diego offers an amazing combination of stunning coastline, historic routes, and scenic mountains—perfect for a motorcycle ride.

So, whether you want a Harley Rentals San Diego or a smaller bike, rent a motorcycle in San Diego for a fantastic ride.

First-Time Motorcycle Rentals Tips

Renting a motorcycle for the first time can be a bit overwhelming, but don't worry! Here are some tips to make your experience smoother and more enjoyable:

1. Choose the Right Bike for Your Ride

Choosing the right bike is essential. If you're new to motorcycles, a smaller engine bike might be a better fit. It will be easier to handle and more comfortable for longer rides. If you’re looking for a unique experience, Harley Rentals San Diego could be your ideal choice. These bikes are comfortable, stylish, and perfect for cruising the San Diego coastline. Harley Davidson has been a go-to for many riders, offering comfort and performance.

2. Check Your License and Requirements

Before you head out on the road, make sure you have the proper motorcycle endorsement. In California, a motorcycle endorsement is required for all riders. It’s crucial that you’re familiar with the local laws. Most rental services will ask for a valid driver’s license and motorcycle endorsement for safety purposes.

3. Inspect Your Motorcycle Before You Ride

When you rent a motorcycle in San Diego, always inspect the bike first. Check the tires, brakes, lights, and fluid levels to ensure everything is in working order. It’s better to take five extra minutes to confirm your bike’s safety than to deal with issues later.

4. Wear Protective Gear

Safety should always be a priority. Even though it’s not mandatory in California for riders 18 years and older to wear helmets, we recommend always wearing one for your protection. Additionally, consider wearing gloves, a leather jacket, and sturdy pants for added comfort and protection. A proper helmet can save you from serious injury if an unexpected situation arises.

5. Familiarize Yourself with the Controls

It’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with the bike's controls before taking off. If you’re not sure how the bike handles, ask for a quick demo from the rental company. Practice using the clutch, throttle, and brakes before you venture onto a busy road.

6. Start Slow and Build Confidence

If you’re a beginner, don’t rush into busy streets right away. Start with quiet roads or less busy areas to get used to the bike’s handling. As you get more comfortable, you can hit the highways and enjoy the scenic routes San Diego has to offer.

7. Plan Your Route

Planning ahead is key to a successful motorcycle ride. Whether you want to cruise through Carlsbad, hit Julian for a mountain ride, or explore Oceanside’s beach roads, make sure you have a plan in place.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Renting a Bike

 Introduction

When exploring the vibrant city of Jaipur, renting a bike in Jaipur can be a thrilling and economical way to navigate through its bustling streets. The freedom to roam at your own pace while enjoying the sights and sounds of this historic city is unmatched.

However, many tourists and locals alike make common mistakes that can dampen the experience. Understanding these pitfalls can enhance your bike rental journey.

 In this article, we’ll delve into essential two-wheeler rental tips to ensure your experience is smooth and enjoyable.

Not Researching Rental Companies

One of the first mistakes people make is failing to research the various bike rental companies in Jaipur. Not all companies offer the same quality of service or maintenance. Start by checking online reviews and ratings on platforms like Google and TripAdvisor.

Look for companies that consistently receive high praise for their bikes and customer service. Also, don’t hesitate to ask for recommendations from fellow travelers or locals who have firsthand experience.

This simple step can save you from potential issues later, such as mechanical failures or poor service.

Overlooking Rental Agreements

Another common oversight is not reading the rental agreement thoroughly. It may seem tedious, but understanding the terms, conditions, and any hidden fees associated with the rental is crucial. Some companies may have strict policies regarding fuel, mileage limits, and deposit refunds.

Pay special attention to clauses about damage and insurance; knowing what you’re responsible for can help you avoid unpleasant surprises when you return the bike.

If anything is unclear, don’t hesitate to ask the rental company for clarification before signing the agreement.

 Not Checking the Condition of the Bike

Before signing the rental agreement, it’s crucial to inspect the bike carefully. A well-maintained bike is essential for your safety and overall experience. Look for visible damages, check tire pressure, test the brakes, and ensure the lights and indicators are functioning properly. If you find any issues, report them to the rental company immediately to avoid being held liable later.

Additionally, a test ride around the rental shop can help you gauge how the bike handles and identify any discomfort or mechanical issues early on.

Ignoring Rental Tips from the Company

Most rental companies will provide you with valuable two-wheeler rental tips when you pick up your bike. Don’t hesitate to ask questions about local traffic patterns, safe riding practices, and recommended routes. This knowledge can significantly enhance your riding experience.

For instance, knowing the best times to travel through busy areas can help you avoid heavy traffic, while local insights can guide you to hidden gems not usually mentioned in travel guides.

Not Familiarizing Yourself with Local Traffic Laws

Each region has its own set of traffic laws, and failing to familiarize yourself with local regulations can lead to fines or accidents. In Jaipur, ensure you understand the rules regarding lane discipline, parking regulations, and riding at night.

The city's traffic can be chaotic, with many vehicles sharing the road, including cars, bikes, and rickshaws. Being informed can make your ride safer and more enjoyable.

It’s also wise to observe how locals navigate the streets; they often have a better grasp of the unwritten rules of the road.

Skipping Protective Gear

Safety should always be your top priority. Many riders make the mistake of neglecting to wear protective gear. Always wear a helmet, and consider additional protective clothing such as gloves, jackets, and knee pads to minimize injury risks in case of an accident.

It’s not just about adhering to local laws; wearing protective gear can significantly reduce the severity of injuries if an accident occurs.

Some rental companies may even provide helmets and gear, so don’t hesitate to ask.

Failing to Plan Your Route

When renting a bike in Jaipur, it’s essential to have a rough idea of your intended route. Not planning your journey can lead to confusion and unwanted detours. Use a reliable map or GPS service to navigate the city, ensuring you hit all the must-see attractions.

Consider downloading offline maps in case you encounter areas with poor connectivity. Additionally, highlight important landmarks or rest stops on your map, so you can take breaks and enjoy local cuisine or shop for souvenirs without feeling rushed.

Returning the Bike Late

Many rental companies charge extra fees for late returns, which can add up quickly. Ensure you are aware of the rental hours and plan your day accordingly to avoid any additional charges.

It’s advisable to return the bike a bit earlier than the agreed time to give yourself a cushion in case of unforeseen delays.

Planning your day to include some buffer time can save you money and hassle while allowing you to return the bike in a relaxed manner.

 Ignoring the Importance of Insurance

Many first-time renters overlook the significance of insurance coverage. Always inquire about the insurance policies offered by the rental company. Some companies provide basic coverage, while others may offer comprehensive plans that protect you against theft, damage, or accidents.

Investing in additional insurance may seem unnecessary at the moment, but it can save you a considerable amount of money and stress in the event of an accident or mishap.

 Conclusion,

Renting a bike can be an exhilarating way to explore Jaipur, but avoiding common mistakes is essential for a smooth experience. Remember to research rental companies, read the rental agreement, inspect the bike, and ask for local bike rental tips.

By being informed and prepared, you can make the most of your bike rental experience and enjoy everything Jaipur has to offer.

For those looking to embark on a two-wheeled adventure, consider checking out Rental Wheel for a reliable bike rental experience.
