#i also think itzy debuted around the same time

[haichengtual]

do you all realise how insane it is that txt are celebrating their 5th anniversary

[baekhvuns]

Ofc they're having a cb when I'm not there, I have up at this point lol

Stop the avocado abuse 💔

Stalkers won't stop like, they know it's bad and they dgaf. Even some blacklisted fansites can still go to airports cause who's gonna stop them? It's awful

I was bored and looked into Men of the Harem the novel, but do I wanna spoil myself. My friend said it has more details and the relationship between Latil and Tasir is 😳😊 so I might check it out. There are like 287373 chapters and shit gets spicy 😭

I can't fully enjoy this WC because of the whole Qatar thing so I'm mostly observing from the distance. Everything I needed from football this year aka Madrid winning CL happened so now I'm chill! And Arsenal is literally FIRST in the Premier League table?!??! I used to like Mbappe more, but I still have a soft spot for many French players 💀 I'm a bit sad Spain lost, but oh well. I hate penalties, so nerve wrecking

One thing SM is good at are the promo picturesand packaging. My journey with Itzy started with Wannabe, cause I didn't care for their debut and Icy, but I'm a Not Shy and Loco defender. MITM is hmmm not the best, but I still like it to a certain extent. People speculate Jinni was kicked out cause she spoke about training, having a comeback soon and the next day GOODBYE 🤔Also Loona's comeback, uhmmmmm. I know many Orbits are boycotting it

Hawgsyhasyshhss I will never forget waking up one day in Straya, opening the blinds and spotting two roos boxing each other, we made eye contact then they continued. I was like "understandable, have a nice day". Omfg that's the same person I forgot I told you about her, tbh lots of my friends live in AUs 😅

Ooooh a few weddings, and then mine in SK, remember! There's a saying that goes "Paris is in France, but France isn't in Paris" so sidhjshdjsnhsjs I also recommend other French cities if you ever have time

Seonghwa platinum is perfect even my friend who used to hate blonde hair agrees! People just want ot8 black hair, but it's so boooooring, most of them have/had black hair all the time! As a blonde Hwa lover I'm in danger, what if he dyes it now... hopefully a different colour than black, it'd be a shame not to take advantage of his bleached scalp. But I want him to stay a blondie a little longer 😭 most importantly NO SCISSORS. I need Hongjoong to do something crazy with his hair tho

Alright so best of both worlds, dark academia, but make it cottagecore as well.

(Thumb Seonghwa is not real he can't hurt us...)

Right. I do hope Eden and his team switch things up and give Jongho less high notes etc, but he's still a good producer. Some Atinys think he's the devil, like? Log off and stare at a wall, think about your lives for a second

If I worked at that diner and saw this bitch and thoughts on the 👃?

Please NT football teams need Season's Greetings lolol

They said "no more lies" but no Love Shot, no Move...

*gently holds*

I was asleep idek what's going on, but I'm too out of it to analyse the lore this time. Also this comeback feels a bit unnecessary ngl ksugswgyshshshshs and I still haven't gone through the whole Paradigm album 🙉 - DV 💖

hi hello!!

Ofc they're having a cb when I'm not there, I have up at this point lol // Stop the avocado abuse 💔

LMFAOOOO 😭😭 ITS ABSOLUTE BS !!! but if ur going kr in like later maybe they’ll be there w a new comeback 😭😭😭 i do not personally understand the hype around avocado being tasti actually <//3

Stalkers won't stop like, they know it's bad and they dgaf. Even some blacklisted fansites can still go to airports cause who's gonna stop them? It's awful

atp bodyguards need to be shown faces in their training for the group they guard so they can stop the specific fans and plus isn’t rona still in kr like its spiking so i don’t understand why they’d all risk and crowed around them,, we need the guards to be the swat or csi stuff atp 🤚🏼

I was bored and looked into Men of the Harem the novel, but do I wanna spoil myself. My friend said it has more details and the relationship between Latil and Tasir is 😳😊 so I might check it out. There are like 287373 chapters and shit gets spicy 😭

THERES A WHOLE NOVEL??? WHAT. latil and tasir’s relationship, 👀 WHAT DO U MEAN WHAT DO U MEAN IT GETS SPICY 😭😭 DOES MY GUY SONNAUGHT GET AT LEAST 1 MINUTE OF LATIL’S ATTENTION 😭😭

I can't fully enjoy this WC because of the whole Qatar thing so I'm mostly observing from the distance. Everything I needed from football this year aka Madrid winning CL happened so now I'm chill! And Arsenal is literally FIRST in the Premier League table?!??! I used to like Mbappe more, but I still have a soft spot for many French players 💀 I'm a bit sad Spain lost, but oh well. I hate penalties, so nerve wrecking

right!! im keeping up primarily bc its their last wc 😭😭 madrid was really on a roll with the league HDWKDHWK THE ARSENAL V MAN UNITED IS THE ONE IM WAITING FOR,,, no bc mbappe let the fame get to his mind tho i can’t deny that he’s a good player, but the ego is 📈📈 i was surprised england lost mate, in front of beckham like that??? VIOLATION!! penalties truly, never been so on the edge of my seat 🤚🏼 the massive amount of pressure these guy’s have is 🫡 + hope the teams who didn’t make it get the chance at copa, and the next wc bc theres gonna be sooo many teams

One thing SM is good at are the promo picturesand packaging. My journey with Itzy started with Wannabe, cause I didn't care for their debut and Icy, but I'm a Not Shy and Loco defender.

YOU ARE CORRECT THO I ALMOST SAID WHAT PROMO UNTIL I SAW THE PICTURES,, sm rly is very creative with packaging and shoot’s ,, loco was AMAZING! the choreo and the kpop oomf, want that itzy era back so fast but lesserafim dominating ,, mafia in the morning was alright the ring dang dang got me 🧍🏻‍♀️ BRUH??? no bc it’s so sus, jyp being this sensitive? then they should’ve kicked out so many ppl if they talked about comebacks 😭😭 YEAAH THE COLOUR CODED LYRIC CHANNELS WILL THRIVE DURING LOONA’S CB bc all the views

Hawgsyhasyshhss I will never forget waking up one day in Straya, opening the blinds and spotting two roos boxing each other, we made eye contact then they continued.

LMFAOOOO DBWKHDWKDKW NO WAY 😭😭😭 WHAT A SIGHT STOP u were witnessing a very intense boxing match, who won? the left one or the right? THE WAY THAT FRIEND OF URS SCORED !!!!! lived an au, works a dream job 🤌🏼 gods favourite, im gonna ask one ques, has any of ur friends lived an etl or is it reserved for u?

Ooooh a few weddings, and then mine in SK, remember! There's a saying that goes "Paris is in France, but France isn't in Paris" so sidhjshdjsnhsjs I also recommend other French cities if you ever have time

U BET I WILL TAKE A FLIGHT STRAIGHT FROM THERE,, i do wanna see the eiffel tower but i primarily want to visit the south of france bc it is just so stunning and id cry if i don’t ever see it really, if i can’t live the french girl aesthetic what is the point in life 😵‍💫😵‍💫

DBWMDJKW I LOST IT FOR A FEW MINUTES, TEARS IN EYES FACE RED TYPE OF LAUGH TOO 😭😭

Right. I do hope Eden and his team switch things up and give Jongho less high notes etc, but he's still a good producer. Some Atinys think he's the devil, like? Log off and stare at a wall, think about your lives for a second

omg ur right, jongho in a low register or better yet a song without extreme high notes, give us baby making r&b ateez!!! he really is talented and tbh ppl complaining like they can do it any better! he’s a professional, he’s got a team and the members, they know what they’re doing 😭😭 no literally touch some grass, go make friends but don’t log in

everything is fine.

[jonghyuns-husband]

How old are these fandoms!

[DISCLAIMER: THESE ARE THE AVERAGE AGES I’M GUESSING! If you are over or under the ages I stated, I’m not saying you cannot be in those fandoms — in fact, I’d consider you cultured, especially if you’re underaged and you know these older groups!]

BTS - Definitely under 18, particularly around 13 or 14.

TXT - Slightly older than BTS, but about 15-17 years old.

Stray Kids - 16-19 years of age.

ENHYPEN - 14-18 years old.

Ateez - 16-21 years old. (But I’m more confident with 18-19)

BLACKPINK - 12-14 years of age.

TWICE - 15-18 years old. Most likely to be 16-17.

SEVENTEEN - 18-21, but I’d agree with 19. (Ik it’s not an old group but still)

Red Velvet - 20-22 (I’d think a bit older too since there are older members)

NCT - 16-21 (Most likely around barely legal which is 17-20, but the same as Ateez)

Monsta X - 18-21 (Yeah, I feel like this group attracts queer teens and young adults)

Girls Generation - 20-25, but I’d think they’re about 21 or 24 (To be fair, the older the group, the older the fans are)

EXO - 20-25, but they’re about 20-21

BIGBANG - 24-30, but definitely 25 or 28 (I don’t think younger people would openly stan them after hearing what happened, even if they’re iconic…)

Super Junior - 24-30, again, but a bit younger like 24-25 (same with BIGBANG, unless their songs brings nostalgia to you in which you may have of had to be there to be so)

GOT7 - It’s definitely the older version of BTS — 16-21, but around 18-20 for sure.

IKON - 20-23 (I haven’t seen a lot of people talking about them, or maybe it’s just me)

SHINee - Definitely in their 20s, but if I have to pinpoint what age they are, I’d say 24-25.

SuperM - Merge all 3 groups together and you get 16-21, and the exact age has to also be either barely legal (17-20)

TVXQ - 25-32, I’ve seriously never heard anyone young talking about them unless they’re at least around 10 at the time of their debut.

ITZY - 14-16, their fanbase are quite young though…

Loona - 14-18, definitely about 16-17

SHINHWA - 25-30 (same with BIGBANG and Super Junior, plus I’ve never heard any younger fans talking about them.

Dreamcatcher - 24-28 (The members are older whilst being a newer group which could be the reason why the ages are a bit high, plus I haven’t seen anyone younger talking about them)

The Boyz - 16-24, around 18-21 (I’d like to assume this group has a wide variety of ages which makes it harder to determine how old they are)

NewJeans - 10-16 (I know this is a little too early to assume, but I doubt anyone over the age of 18 would stan them due to how ridiculously young they are, unless if they really like their music)

H.O.T - 25-35 (Same with the others, pretty sure anyone who has been there at that moment would listen to them, but anyone who is younger)

Block B - 20-28, around 22-24 (not many younger people has been talking about them very much which makes me wonder how many who are under the age of 18 knows them)

(G)I-DLE - 16-21, (same with the other 16-21 age ranges)

Part 2?

[neocrush]

— the girl groups enhypen’s gfs are in !

genre: fluff (angst on jungwon’s part) + established relationship (eventually lol)

pairings: idol!enhypen x fem!idol!reader

note: idk how to title this pls i thought of it while showering

tagging: @jeminiepabo @strwberrydinosaur

you just finished performing and your members were in need of water bottles

you just finished performing and your members were in need of water bottles

you just finished performing and your members were in need of water bottles

but fucking mnet didn’t provide any inside of your dressing room??

but fucking mnet didn’t provide any inside of your dressing room??

but fucking mnet didn’t provide any inside of your dressing room??

so yves told you to ask for some from the artist in the dressing room next to yours

you knocked on the door without looking at the sign that showed who was in there

you asked for some water bottles and heeseung went “i’ll go get it!” and ran off to go get get them

jungwon just chuckled and went “hyung’s a really huge fan of your group, he kept on singing star on the way here”

you nodded at the younger one, impressed at the fact that you were popular among idols

the tall boy came back with a whole box full of water bottles

“there’s 12 of you here right now so i figured why not get a whole box” he chuckled nervously

you giggled and smiled at the nervous boy

“thank you heeseung-ssi, i’ll take this to my members” you took the box in your hands but was taken aback on how heavy it was

“don’t worry i’ll carry it for you”

long after that you started hanging out and boom you became his gf

you couldn’t resist the charms of lee heeseung

once it was revealed that you were a couple, orbits and engenes went INSANE (in a good way ofc)

“wait so y/n DOESNT hate men????”

★ jay - aespa

OMG OMG LEMME TELL YOU ABOUT THIS BBY

you both met at school after you both debuted

everyone was gossiping around about how you were in the same class with the enhas

so like... monster rookies class

usually idols aren’t seated together but the teacher seated you and jay next to each other

causing a bunch of “oooohhhs” from your classmates

there were times were you and the enhas would leave school early due to practice or schedules

and on the way to the school gate, jay would always spark up a conversation with you

you assumed he was just very friendly

long story short he had a massive crush on you

so a few months into your friendship (which the both of you were very open about with your fans), he confesses

you were like “WAIT SO IT WASNT ONE SIDED THE WHOLE TIME”

y’all were just really blind lol pls read between the lines

anyways on to ur lovely bf !!

he’s so bold and brave around you but so shy around your members and seniors

we all know how he really respects nct (along with other sm artists) bc he covered the 7th sense with sunghoon on iland

so one day you were like “oh btw i showed taeyong sunbae you and hoon’s t7s cover”

he was like 😟 to 😧 to 😯

got all shy and was like “oh what did he say..”

you don’t know why he was acting as if he didn’t body that whole performance ????

anyway you told him that taeyong said that he and hoon did really well and that he liked how jay did his part

hid his face on the crook of your neck

“baby we should come say hi to them next time you go to sm”

“NO i will make a fool out of myself”

speaks english and japanese with giselle a lot when he isn’t occupied with you

sometimes you’d even have to ask nct’s shotaro to translate

your seniors (especially exo’s kai) adore him so so much pls protect the boy at all costs

★ jake - everglow

he was an active viewer of produce 48 and (like me) was really attached to the yuehua trainees

especially you

so when you got eliminated just before the last episode, he was devastated to say the least

he awaited your debut and when the time came he supported everglow !!!!

LOVED BON BON CHOCOLAT SO MUCH

does the killing part choreo in his room when no one’s watching lol

dies everytime you do the little “everglow” in songs

right so when he debuted in enha, he looked forward to meeting you as an idol and not a fan

when you shared a dressing room at kcontact, he couldn’t help but introduce himself to you

he mentioned he was a big fan and your heart warmed

cute boy is a fan of you? omg heart go brr brr

your members tease you and you just shake it off

that day when you got back to the dorms, you watched a bunch of enhypen videos bc you were interested in jake

you weren’t aware of how popular you were among people - let alone idols so you were surprised

you fell in love with his personality and started saying hi to him whenever you meet backstage at music shows

not long after, you develop feelings for him

you thought it was just a puppy crush but as you saw him even more, it got serious

you never actually confessed but aisha accidentally spilled the beans when he was passing by

“cmon y/n just tell him you like him because he clearly feels the same !!”

“you like me?”

“AISHA”

“that’s my queue to leave”

so she leaves you two to pour your hearts out to each other

you two become a couple and forevergenes (such a cute name omg) LOVE you two

you’re both the puppies of your group so that makes your relationship 103892x cuter

you met his parents and they adore you and even asked for your autograph

“jake used to talk about how great you are after every produce 48 episode”

“okayyyy i think that’s enough embarassing me mom”

his parents love you like their own daughter but does layla love you?

you were so nervous to meet her and was actually scared she might not like you - knowing how important layla is to jake

at first layla ignored you and jake was like “she’ll come around”

you were convinced she just doesn’t like you, until this one time you were cuddling with jake on the couch and layla comes in

you expected her to snuggle up with jake but she came to you :D

now layla is super fond of you and mrs sim would even send you pictures and videos of layla getting excited whenever you were on tv 🥺

★ sunghoon - itzy

you and the girls were at isac

the six of you were just waving at your fans and making heart signs with your hearts

on your left you saw yeji making hearts with ryujin so you wanted to do that with another member too

you felt a presence next to you and assumed it was someone from your group

spoiler alert: it wasn’t

sunghoon and sunoo were waving at engenes who just happened to be seated next to midzys

so you turned to who you thought was an itzy member, making half a heart with your hand

until you realized it wasn’t 💀

you bowed and apologized when you both looked at each other, you were scared you crossed a boundary

you bowed and apologized to the engenes who were there too

sunghoon and sunoo reassured you it was all good

after that, sunghoon couldn’t help but keep his eyes on you the entire event

when the day was coming to an end, he pulled some strings and ended up having some alone time with you ...in stray kids’ dressing room

don’t ask

ofc skz already left so it was just you two there

fast forward, you both hit it off and he became your bf <3

midzys and engenes love you both sm and love bragging about you two to other fandoms

you two were even named the king and queen of 4th gen kpop

oh also

you already know where this is going

“SUNGHOON HOW COULD YOU NOT KNOW NOT SHY’S PROPER TITLE IT’S YOUR GIRLFRIEND’S SONG” - jay

brags about how he can do the shoulder dance in wannabe

ofc it’s bc you personally taught him

sends you pics of jyp as reaction pics

so you send pics of bang pdnim to him

every once in a while he reminds you of that video of jay why pee trying to hit a high note

“lmao that’s your boss”

PLS you always get super embarrassed so ofc you bring up that vid of hitman bang

“rAp dAncE-“

★ sunoo - stayc

you were his seatmate at school predebut

you came from the same town, same school, same neighborhood, etc

the two of you were extremely close and both shared the same dream

when highup entertainment accepted you, the both of you were over the moon

he was so happy for you

but sad too bc that meant you had to move to seoul :(

you promised him to do your best and that you hoped to see him again but as an idol

and hopefully when he’s an idol too

well what you hoped for came true !!

although you couldn’t see him much as a trainee - which made you quite sad - you got to follow his journey on i-land

you even asked your fellow trainees to vote for him

anyways now that you both debuted, you became close again and became really open with your fans on how close you were

you recommended his songs to swiths and he did the same to engenes

he even memorized the choreo to so bad and asap and lemme tell you this

he BEGGED you to teach him those choreos

“sunoo you can watch the practice on youtube”

“but i want to learn it from you”

he never really realized his feelings until he saw you getting shipped with his other members

you were both on weekly idol and the hosts really seemed to like how you and jake looked next to each other and they just teased you both the whole episode

that made sunoo feel uneasy and he thought it was only bc he was an overprotective best friend

turns out he had feelings for you (wow shocker)

so one day he asks you to come to hybe

after slightly getting lost, you meet up with him in a practice room

he confesses bc he felt like not telling you about his feelings would put a wall between you two

you appreciate his honesty and tell him you’ve felt the same way every since you were classmates

he scolds himself for not seeing it all those years but you just laugh it off bc you were pretty good at hiding your crush

you both agree to secretly date, until you both announce it on your five month anniversary

fans were really shocked at first... but they support you !!!!

engenes will not hesitate to come at anyone who talks bad about you and swiths feels the same way about jungwon

he gushes about you every single time you’re brought up

and you can’t help but love your adorable boyfriend

★ jungwon - iz*one

okay so

he was just an average high schooler when you were introduced on produce 48

his deskmate was watching your audition video and it was the part where you were doing this freestyle

he was SO amazed and he secretly followed your journey on produce 48

always made sure to vote on time and watch the episodes live

once the debut evaluation came around, he asked everyone he knew to vote for you and even bought tickets to see the show live

almost cried when he saw that you were center

ACTUALLY CRIED when you got into the top 13 😭

fast forward to him debuting in enha

he wasn’t able to catch up on you since he was busy with trainee life, then i-land, then debut preparations

but somehow in the middle of promotions he ran into you and BOOM love at first sight

fast forward to you finally dating, he couldn’t believe he was dating the y/n of iz*one

wizones make those “ladies and gentlemen, y/n’s man” edits and engenes make those “ladies and gentlemen, jungwon’s woman” edits

both fandoms love you two so dearly that the only hate you two got were from the delusional ones (who clearly aren’t actual fans)

when your last concert came around, he couldn’t bare seeing you cry when you said “this has been iz*one’s y/n, thank you everyone!”

he got flashbacks from when you cried during the final episode of produce 48 and he’s just.. sobbing bc he couldn’t be there to hold you

so the next day he rushed to your dorms with snacks and emotional support bc you were emotionally exhausted from accepting the fact that your journey with iz*one is finally ending

you felt extremely lucky to be in his arms and he felt extremely lucky too that he’s able to make you feel a little better

★ riki - weeekly

you were both on weekly weeekly idol together

and both you and riki being main dancers, you were asked to do random dance together

a few popular songs played and the both of you did the choreos

until after school started playing and the boy did the chorus’ choreo and you were like “woah???”

bc he was so INTO ITTTT

the song was basically made for him to cover it

and the mcs saw your reaction so they asked him to do it once again but this time with the whole group

after filming, he came up to you and was like “i’m a huge fan of yours” and you’re just like ):&/£]>\**_£]

“woah really???? i rooted for you on i-land”

and his face just lights up bc his huge crush on you developed even more

you became besties since then but he didn’t ask you out until your birthday

he took you out to a puppy café, knowing you were obsessed with dogs

you’d ask him to show you pictures and videos of bisco

“i better meet bisco once we go to japan together”

melted at the thought of traveling to his hometown with you

anyways

once you left the café, he kissed you in front of your dorms

and somehow he became your boyfriend <3

riki as a bf isn’t really a very public person

he’s the “this is our relationship, not the public’s” type of person

he doesn’t wanna risk companies wanting to exploit your relationship

although he doesn’t talk about you two much, he loves to brag about you when given the chance

whenever variety show hosts would fawn over you he’d just look them in the eyes dead and go “she’s mine”

ITZY Reaction to Fem S/O Reader Breaking Up With Them

Request:  Request: mmm🤔 may I request Itzy's reaction to their fem s/o breaking up with them? also I hope you've a great day and week so far!💕

tw// crying, angst, yelling, swearing

Yeji

You met Yeji when you two were in high school, she was quiet and didn’t talk to many people. You were a transfer student and you didn’t know anyone, but she offered to show you around right away. From there you two became best friends, and then girlfriends. Although she wasn’t supposed to date as a trainee, she found a loophole because the rule for her company was ‘no dating any other trainees’ which didn’t apply to you. You supported Yeji endlessly, always going with her to auditions when her parents couldn’t take her, and going to every JYP showcase she was in. You were there the day she debuted, and all of the other performances she had as a rookie. However, you found that it got harder to see her as the popularity of her group grew and she had even more schedules. Yeji did her best to see you and call you when she could, but there was a point where you realized it just wasn’t working anymore. The dynamic between you two had completely shifted and you felt more distant from her than ever before. You called her to see if you two could meet up, it was the same place you two hard your first real date. When Yeji walked in and she spotted you, her eyes curled up as she smiled beneath her mask. You smiled weakly as she hugged you and sat down in the seat across from you. Yeji told you, “Hi baby, I missed you these past few weeks. I wish I could have seen you more.” Her hand found yours over the table, interlacing your fingers together. You shifted in your seat, deciding to cut the small talk and just bite the bullet, “Yeji, I need to talk to you about something.” Pulling your hand away she felt her stomach drop, the use of her first name instead of a pet name was already a bad sign, but pulling your hand away was new. You continued, “I think we need to break up. This just isn’t working anymore...I’m sorry.” Yeji inhaled sharply, she swallowed thickly and asked, “Did I do something too? I know my job- but did I do something too?” You could see her eyes glossing over with tears and more than anything you wanted to pull her into your arms and tell her that you weren’t serious. But you needed to just let her go, pretending that it was still working wasn’t going to suffice anymore. You refused, “No, no absolutely not. I- You are perfect...but I just can’t be there for you the same way I used to. With me in university and working, plus your job being so demanding...you know what I mean right?” She nodded, a tear rolling down her cheek as she sniffled, “Yeah I know what you mean.” You leaned forward and wiped her tear. Trying to hold in your tears you told her, “I just um...I want to thank you. Yeji-ah, you are my first love. I’ve never felt the way I feel for you for anyone else. Thank you for loving me, and always being there for me when I was having trouble. I love you.” She nodded, bursting into silent tears as she rested her head on her arms at the table. After a moment she sat up, “Thank you too. You were there for every audition and showcase, you missed your own event just to support me. I’ll always love you Y/N. I’m sorry this didn’t work out with us.” You both sat in silence, just looking at each other for what would be the last time for a while. It went without saying that there was a chance you’d get together again in the far future, simply because Yeji was the right person. She was your person, just at the wrong time.

Jisu knew that something had shifted between the two of you over the past year. The two of you had met when your groups crossed paths on a music show schedule, the two of you immediately hit it off. Jisu fell head over heels in love with you fairly quickly and you did the same. The relationship was going strong for nearly two years, however just recently, you didn’t feel that spark anymore. You and Jisu laid in your bed, the two of you were both wide awake as you laid back to back. You clutched the pillow in your arms desperately, your heart breaking a little more when you realized that’s how it felt when you held her. There was nothing there  anymore and the two of you could feel it, there was tension that hung over the room whenever you were alone. There weren’t many laughs shared anymore, it was just awkward silence all the time as you continued to overthink ever little thing that you were to say to her. Her voice broke through the silence like a knife, “Y/N?” You replied, “Yeah?” She asked, “You don’t feel it anymore either right?” You didn’t even need her to elaborte to know what she was talking about. In a hushed tone you replied, “No...I don’t feel anything anymore Jisu.” Her voice broke as she replied, “I know...” You tucked your head into the pillow before saying, “Jisu-yah...I can’t do this anymore.” Your girlfriend sniffled, “I know.” She turned to face you, she placed a hand on your shoulder. Shivers ran down your spine as her ice cold fingers hit your skin. You turned to her, she looked you in the eyes before crawled into your arms, laying with her head tucked into your neck just like you used to. Her eyelashes brushed the crook of your neck and her nose ghosted warm breaths as her cold and wet tears ran down your collarbones. She held onto you tighter, and you did the same, not wanting to let her go even though you knew you would in the morning. Jisu pleaded softly, “I know that you won’t mean it, but please....Y/N I need to hear it one more time. Please just tell me one more time. This is the last time- I just- I just need to hear you say it.” You shook your head, as tears rolled down your cheeks, trembling as you spoke, “N-no- Jisu no. I can’t do that.” Your girlfriend begged, sniffling as her body shook, “Y/N please...” You sucked in a breath and tucked your head into her hair. Her hand found yours as you told her, “I love you baby.....now you.” She responded, “I love you too my love.” Her voice cracked at the end as she sobbed violently. The two of you fell asleep in each other’s arms, and when you woke up the next day she was gone. All of her clothes were out of your closet and dressers, all of her beauty products were out of your bathroom. When the day broke there was no sign of your girlfriend, only the gentle trace of her perfume on your skin. 

Ryujin

You and Ryujin knew that being in a relationship was a gigantic risk from the beginning, yet the two of you were willing to take that chance. Ryujin was not permitted to date due to her company placing a dating ban on her and her members. You on the other hand were in a slightly different position, your parents were convinced that you didn’t actually like women, and that you hadn’t met the right man. There were many times you tried to convince them, but it was absolutely no use given their...beliefs. The relationship between you and Ryujin was seen as just good friends by everyone, even her members. You both managed to get away undetected for nearly three years. However, this is where your three years together was going to end. You waited for Ryujin as you stood in the empty conference room looking out the window. You looked at the people that walked on the sidewalk 20 floors down, seeing how they all roamed freely in different directions. That was a form of freedom that you’d never acquire. The conference room door opened and your girlfriend walked in, wearing a cropped cardigan and jeans with her hair in a ponytail. She asked, “Hey why did I have to come to your parent’s building, and why are there two gigantic security guards- wait wow are you okay?” Her eyes landed on you when you turned around. You monotonously replied, “Please have a seat.” Your girlfriend looked at you, taking in the sight of you in a matching blazer and skirt set. The makeup on your face didn’t hide the dark circles encompassed your eyes giving the illusion that they were slightly sunken in, the bags complementing them only made you look worse. Your lips were pale and the light that was once behind your eyes was replaced with emptiness. She asked, “Baby are you alright? What’s going on?” You ignored her questions and sat at the head of the table as you began, “I am no longer able to be your girlfriend. I am getting married next month. Having a girlfriend whilst having a spouse is not exactly socially acceptable...as you may imagine.” Ryujin sat up, “Are you serious? Married to who? What is going on Y/N?” You ignored her questions once more, struggling to hold yourself together, “I will not be in communication with you any longer. If you attempt to visit me at my home, I will call the police.” Ryujin reached for your hand, shaking as she pleaded, “Please tell me what’s going on baby. I- I know this isn’t your choice. Who’s making you do this?” You slowly retracted your hand from hers, “I never loved you. Being with you was the biggest mistake I could have ever made for myself.” She watched as the words left your lips, but you refused to look her in the eye as you said it. Ryujin insisted, “You don’t mean that. This isn’t you Y/N. None of this is you, snap out of it. Please. I just want my girlfriend back.” You stood up from the table and she did the same, grabbing your hand as you tried to walk away she choked out a sob, “I know you love me Y/N...please...” Sucking in a sharp breath, you turned around and looked her in the eye, “I do not love you Shin Ryujin. I never loved you. Goodbye.” Yanking your hand from her grip you walked out of the conference room. A hand placed on your shoulder, “Are you finished?” You gave a single nod as you fought the urge to turn around and run back to Ryujin. Silent tears rolled down your cheeks as you felt completely destroyed inside. Looking at you once more he stated, “You will get over that girl. Remember you are doing what is best for our family’s company. I would not do anything to you that will result in misery. You know how much I adore you, yes?” You held your head up before he could correct you to do so as you replied

“Yes father.”

Chaeryeong

Chaeryeong and you knew from the beginning of your relationship that it would end earlier than you both wanted it to. You were moving because your mother was relocated to a new base in Germany. When you moved to Korea four years ago you didn’t expect to make any friends, especially as a freshman at the fancy performing arts school you snagged a spot in. You didn’t know one word of Korean, so many kids avoided you, except one girl named Somi. She was more than happy to show you around and introduce you to her friends who were also in both of your grade levels, one of which was Chaeryeong. Despite the language barrier, you and Chaeryeong became inseparable. The two of you got together after you sleepily confessed that you loved her romantically at a sleepover, the rest was history. For the next four years you two were the happiest you’d ever been. When you found out that your mother was getting relocated you looked into every other potential option, even living on your own. The best you could do was convincing her to let you finish out your semester in university, there was only a few weeks left anyways. However, staying long term, was just not an option, your mother refused to let you stay in Korea while she was in Germany. You had already arranged with your university to transfer your credits so you could attend another school in Germany for the following semester. Chaeryeong was doing everything she could to be with you when she wasn’t at a schedule or in her company’s building. She’d been sneaking into your dorm on campus or letting you into her dorm in the middle of the night. When the two of you couldn’t be together over night she was on Facetime as you slept. You walked through the airport to the security gate, it was early morning so the airport was fairly empty, with no TSA line. You and Chaeryeong dragged your feet, walking slower as you approached the security check. Her grasp on your hand tightened and she asked seriously, “Do you have to go?” You laughed weakly through the tears that already started to fall, “Yeah I do Chae.” The two of you stopped in front of the security gate and you turned to face her. She stared at you for a moment, nervously you waved a hand in front of her thinking that she spaced out again. Your girlfriend shook her head, “No I’m still here. Just looking at you again that’s all.” Chaeryeong pulled you into a tight hug, tucking her head into your neck. She sobbed as she held onto you, choking out, “We can make i-it work still...Please?” You wanted to tell her yes, but you knew that her being in Korea and you being in Germany wouldn’t work. Between the time difference and you being a student and her being an idol, there was just no way to keep things the way you both would want them. You refused, “I’m sorry Chae, it won’t work and you know that. You’ll still have my number, and you can call or message me whenever. I’ll do the same too, we won’t lose touch, you have nothing to worry about.” She nodded as she hung onto you, her eyes closed as she sighed, knowing she was going to have to let go. You pulled away, your hands still resting on her waist as you squeezed it gently,  “I’ll see you again soon okay?” You wiped her tears away and gave her a kiss, the last one she’d probably ever get... unless you returned to Korea after university and you were both single. Chaeryeong hugged you one last time, “I love you so much Y/N.” You held a hand on her head as you tightly embraced her once more, “I love you too Chaeryeong.” You let go and walked towards the security gate, squeezing your passport and boarding pass in your hand as you resisted the urge to turn around. Although your back was turned, you could feel her eyes on you as you made it through the last security checkpoint. You picked up your pace, starting to run further from where you said your goodbyes, hoping that the further away you were, the less sad you’d feel. 

Yuna

You and Yuna were in your last year of high school, after three years that felt like thirty, you two were going to be graduating in less than 6 months. Between the two of you, Yuna was better with the whole planning your ‘future’ thing that your guidance counselors had been drilling you with for the past few years. Your girlfriend knew what university she wanted to attend, what her major was going to be, and she’d already did the math to figure out how much her four years of university would cost to the cent. You on the other hand didn’t even know if you wanted to attend a university the fall after graduating high school. Of course university was on your radar...there was just no set date for when you planned to actually attend- or think about attending. The loud clang of a metal tray in front of you snapped you out of your thoughts. Looking up you saw one of your friends, the rest of your friend group coming over to the table. Yuna slipped next to you and smiled brightly, hearts coming out of her eyes as she looked at you in pure adoration. You leaned into her gently and giggled, not saying any words because it wasn’t necessary. Once of your friends, Yujin, cleared her throat as she watched the two of you. She looked around the table and asked, “So what’s everyone doing after school?” Jiheon looked up from her math textbook, “I have tutoring until 4 but I can do something after.” Wooyeon replied, “Sora and I are free after school.” Sujin stated, “Yeah, Dayeon, Hina, and I are also free.” Your girlfriend beamed, “Great so everyone can do university prep tonight?” Your friends all nodded in unison, while you sat stiff in your seat, picking at your lunch. Yuna nudged you, “You’ll be there right?” You faked a smile, Yeah totally...looking forward to it already love.” She gave you a light peck on the cheek while Yujin fake gagged and giggled with the rest of your friends. Throughout the day you were dreading seeing your girlfriend, it wasn’t her, just the fact that you’d once again feel pressured to get ready for university when that wasn’t what you wanted to do. Yuna knew that you dreamed of being a choreographer, and she encouraged you all the time. However whenever you said that you wanted to halt on school and just dance around for a while...she wasn’t as supportive. She always went on about how it’d be hard to be a choreographer without a degree, being able to dance is one thing but being educated and being able to educate other on dancing was very different. You knew that she was right but you still didn’t want to attend university so soon, so much so that you weren’t even the one to register yourself for the college entrance exam, your girlfriend was. When the day was over you dragged your feet outside to the empty study room where you all agreed to meet up. Hina, Dayeon, Sujin, Sora, and Wooyeon were already there, and after ten minutes Yuna and Yujin came as well. Everyone pulled out a thick folder of papers and their laptops and you did the same. All of your college brochures were untouched, and the only reason you had them was because your girlfriend gave them to you. Most of your friends wanted to attend the same universities, because nearly everyone had the same interests. It was all some form of medical science, law, business, or lingusitics school that they wanted, whereas you were focused on performing arts. You dimmed the brightness on your laptop and just went to your favorite shopping website and scrolled through some tops, looking for new ones. Everyone else was murmuring between themselves, filling out an application or writing an essay for admissions. Yuna leaned over and asked, “Hey can you read thi- babe why aren’t you doing anything?” She laughed and pulled out one of the brochures for the arts school she found for you, “Here you can do this application, it takes like three minutes.” You replied, “I can do it later, what did you want me to read?” She responded, “No, you always say you’ll do it later and then you never do.” You shrugged, “I don’t need to.” Yuna’s eyes widened, “Y-yes?! Yes you do need to, this is your future. We are all doing these for a reason.” You snapped, “Well did it ever occur to you that maybe I just don’t want to go to university next fall?” Your girlfriend sighed, “Babe, we talked about this already. You want to be a choreographer, and that’s great and you will be a great one. Just not without a degree, you know how the world works now...degrees are everything.” By now you were getting more than annoyed, you knew that her heart was in the right place but you were over it. Your friends looked between the two of you, feeling tension hang over the room as they internally panicked trying to figure out what to do to diffuse the situation. You huffed, “I don’t know why you keep bringing this up! I have a plan Yuna-” Your girlfriend blurted out, “YOUR PLAN IS FUCKING STUPID Y/N CAN’T YOU SEE THAT? YOU’RE SETTING YOURSELF UP FOR FAILURE AND IM TRYING TO PREVENT THAT!” Everyone in the room fell silent, all of their breaths hitched in their throats as they looked at her stunned from the sudden outburst. Yuna tried to clean it up, “That’s not what I meant Y/N- I just-” You cut her off, “I don’t need to hear it. We’re done. So I’m gonna go with my ‘fucking stupid plan that’s going to set me up for failure’, and you can do what you want. Don’t talk to me anymore. I don’t need your ‘help’ anymore which by the way was you not listening to a goddamn word that I said about the whole thing. So you can keep your little charity work you did for me out of pity. We’re done.” You got up and slammed the door behind you, walking past a confused Jiheon as you left the study room. Hot tears filled your eyes as you clutched your backpack straps in your hands, anger and pain bubbling inside of you as you replayed her words in your mind. Yuna sat in the study room stunned, not even blinking as she sat still in her seat. Sujin spoke up, “Y-yuna? Do you need to take a second?”  After a moment she took a deep breath, tears in her eyes as she plastered a fake smile on her face. Looking around she stated, “I’m okay don’t worry. I-I’m gonna run to the washroom really quickly.” She got up and sprinted out of the bathroom, running into a stall and locking the door as she sobbed into her hands. She internally cursed herself for being so harsh and snapping at you, and for pushing you do to something she wanted for you, rather than listening to you from the beginning. All she could do was cry, unbeknownst to her that you were doing the same thing as you were walking home. The two of you shared the same feeling of regret for different reasons, however you both knew that you wanted each other back, but you weren’t sure if that was going to happen anymore.

AUTHOR’S NOTE | inspired by the song “what is love” by twice (english lyrics by genius translations)!

IM SO SORRY I LOST THE MESSAGE WHERE MY ANON ASKED FOR IT BUT I STILL WROTE IT FOR YOU! I LOVE YOU, THANK YOU, NEVER BE SHY TO DM ME ;)

what is love?

mark knew the general idea of it; the sappy moments movies show, the “butterflies in your stomach” feeling books portray, the pain and hardships songs make you feel. 

but he’s never been in love, at least not like this.

❝ how could it be as sweet as candy? ❞

training at such a young age molded mark into the perfect idol, and with that he was fully aware dating would look bad to the public. he accepted the fact that he might never find love, all to help achieve his dream. 

but as cheesy as it sounds, the canadian wished to be loved. 

yes he was loved by his members, his family, his friends, his fans; but the type of love he longed for was something none of them could give him. 

mark wanted to feel the sweetness of being in love, the giddiness you’d feel whenever you talk to them, the pounding of your heart whenever they’re near. he wanted to experience the overwhelming need to be with that person, like if they’re gone for too long it’s like you can’t breathe.

was being in love like making a song for the very first time? or was it like eating watermelon all the time?

so many questions with no answers, the boy left to wander in his own thoughts. 

❝ how it’s like flying in the sky? ❞

he smiled bittersweetly as the newly wed couple danced around in confetti, the sound of laughter and cheers resonating around the room. one of nct’s managers that had been with them since the beginning invited them to her wedding, to which the team obviously accepted. 

all 23 of them were happy for their noona who found her happy ending. mark could only watch in awe at the sight of the two lovebirds, the love and adoration for the other evident in the way they looked at each other.

his heart tugged a bit knowing he wanted something like that too. 

“being in love is like flying in the sky.” his manager explained to the boy as a makeup artist experimentally brushed strokes on her face. it was a couple hours before the ceremony when mark knocked on her hotel door, wanting to visit his favorite noona before she finally said ‘i do’. 

his question left his mouth before mark could fully register what he was about to say, the poor boy flushing a bit as the woman laughed at him. 

“are you in love mark? is that why you’re asking me how i knew i was in love?” she teased as mark stutterd, denying her accusation.

“n-no i swear!” he said as his manager continued laughing, the makeup artist having to pause a bit to let her get it all out. “i’m just curious.” mark said quietly trying to stop the heat from rushing up to his cheeks. 

“well being in love is a magical feeling.” the woman said, turning a bit serious. mark sat up straight as he listened intently. “when you realize you love someone, it can be a scary thing. love isn’t perfect mark, and i want you to know that. there are moments where you want to scream and rip your hair out, or cry to let it all out.”

the boy nodded in understanding, having a bit of knowledge from all the good breakup songs taylor swift writes about. 

“but it can also change your whole world.” she continued on. “it’s like seeing the world again for the very first time and the colors are more vibrant. it’s like having a permanent reason to be happy, and a reason to stay.” she explained as the mark sat quietly trying to comprehend it all. 

❝ i wanna know know know know, what is love? ❞

the poor boy’s head couldn’t wrap around the thought of you. 

his heart hammered in his chest as he secretly glanced at you, desperately trying to avoid suspicion from fans and his members. you were just too breathtaking, having the canadian looking back for more. 

the moment he first laid eyes on you, it was like an epiphany. you were the answer to all his questions.

so this is what it feels like, mark thinks to himself as he looks back on all the things he’s heard about love. 

the butterflies, the pounding of your heart, the “seeing the world in a whole new perspective”, mark felt everything and as much as he felt excited, he was scared.

as harmless as it sounds, award shows were a risky thing for idols. being surrounded by fans of different groups as well as said groups themselves always seemed to cause a bit of a stir between fans.

between dating rumors and rumors about beef between two idols, anything could happen.

but usually mark would be okay. he’s been doing this for a long time and knew how to behave.

however what he didn’t expect was to see you, the tiny rookie idol from the newly debuted girl group ‘itzy’. 

nct 127’s table was right next to yours which let mark have a clear view of your pretty eye smile as you laughed at something lia had whispered into your ear. your laugh was bubbly and contagious, the boy having to physically stop himself from wanting to laugh too. 

he was panicking, but mark couldn’t tell if it was in a good or bad way. 

❝ what does love feel like? ❞

your breath hitched as you saw the boy sneak glances at you from the corner of your eye.

the mark lee was looking at you, your heart racing as you tried to deny the fact that he was staring you down. there was no way the dude you’ve looked up to your entire trainee life is noticing you, no way at all.  

everyone has heard of mark lee even if you weren’t into kpop. he was just that iconic. 

you’ve been an nctzen since the very beginning, being there for nct u’s debut stage. in fact, nct was the very reason you decided to audition to become an idol in the first place. you looked up to the team but more importantly you looked up to a certain canadian in the group.

originally doyoung was your bias in nct when nct u first came out. but as the years passed by you found yourself more and more intrigued by mark, having him absolutely wreck your bias list.

since then you’ve been a loyal mark stan, even rapping his part in cherry bomb for your audition tape which ultimately led you to become an idol yourself. 

you refused to believe you were in love with the dude, not knowing a single thing about him. there was no way you could love him, not if you’ve never even met the boy.

but your heart seemed to prove you wrong as it beat wildly knowing mark was sitting right there on the table next to you. 

“you okay bubs?” lia asked in a worried tone, leaning in to whisper into your ear. she saw the way your leg bounced in a fast rhythm, knowing you only did that when you were nervous. 

you forced a smile as you hesitantly looked her way, knowing that she could take one look into your eyes and know you were lying. “i'm fine unnie, don’t worry about me.” you replied as sweetly as you could, wishing the elder wouldn’t notice a thing. 

though you two and yeji were the eldest in the group, all being born in the year 2000, you were the baby of the unnie line. lia and yeji knew you the best, having grown up with you after all. 

the girl only gave you a look before taking your hand in hers to give a soft squeeze. “i know you’re lying but i won’t push you. also mark lee from nct 127 is totally checking you out.” lia said, whispering a bit on the last part. she winked as you flushed, looking away in horror. 

-

johnny nudged the boy next to him with a small smirk, clearly seeing the heart eyes he was giving the girl in the table next to them. mark jumped a bit at the feeling, looking at his hyung with confusion.

“so y/n of itzy?” johnny said with a small smile as the younger immediately sat up straight. 

“is it that obvious?” mark whispered back with a hint of fear in his eyes.

if any of the fans were to get a hold of this… the boy could only shiver at the thought. 

johnny’s playful smile dropped a bit at mark’s worried look knowing how he must feel. they were idols after all.

“don’t worry, i only noticed because she was looking back at you too.” he said, mark flushing at the revelation.

“really?” he asked a little out of it. 

“i say talk to her after this?” the elder said, laughing a bit when mark jumped in his seat, immediately saying no. 

❝ will love come to me someday? ❞

“unnie why are you making me stay in the dressing room~” you whined as the end of the award show came along.

you just wanted to go home, your body worn out. not from all the dancing but from the way it viciously pounded in your chest whenever you ever thought about mark. 

lia only smirked in retaliation as she brought a hand up to squish your cheeks. “trust me, you’ll thank me later.” she said as she walked out of the dressing room, bumping into a 6 foot tall boy with a smaller boy behind him. 

“oops sorry.” she said a little playfully, as lia gave a wink to johnny knowing their plan was going accordingly. johnny only gave her a small smile, but if you looked closely you could see the mischief in his eyes. 

“hyung where are we going?” mark asked, a little weirded out by the two’s interaction. johnny only ignored the boy, dragging him by his arm as they walked down the hallway. 

“hyung i swear if this is a prank i’ll-” mark’s words were cut off as the two entered a door, only to see your confused face staring back at him. 

“oh shit.” he cursed under his breath, a little taken aback from how beautiful you were. one whole award show later and you were still as gorgeous as when he first saw you sitting down in the table next to his. 

your confused face quickly turned to an embarrassed one as you noticed the boy, turning another shade of red when you noticed he couldn’t take his eyes off of you.

“hi y/n, my name is johnny and this is my band mate mark.” the taller boy said, holding his hand out in a handshake. 

“h-hi i’m y/n.” you stuttered, not expecting to see the boy you’ve been daydreaming about for the past two hours to be right in front of you. 

mark gawked at the sight of you, his mind malfunctioning as the words seemed to get stuck at the tip of his tongue.

“markie right here has something he wants to ask you.” johnny said, pushing the younger in front of him with a grunt. 

this seemed to knock him right out of his trance, a hand coming up to the back of his neck as he stared down at the floor with pink cheeks.

“do you maybe wanna-”

“yes.” you blurted out, a hand covering your mouth in shock. “i-if you were gonna ask if i wanted to hang out sometime, the answer is yes.” you said a little shyly as the boy smiled. 

all this time mark thought he was gonna find love, but maybe love found him instead. 

“i’ll pick you up at 6 tomorrow evening.” mark said with a sweet smile as he took a step back only to be pushed back up again by johnny.

“you don’t even have her number you dumbass.” the elder scolded, disappointed at how dumb the boy was. 

your laughter caught both of the boy’s attention as you put your hand out with a small smile. “you want my number or nah?”

And If I Still Have Feelings, Will You Accept It This Time? (Triple Threat Confessions).

Series:  KPOP Girl Group: 이달의 소녀 (LOONA).

Pairing: Kim Hyunjin & High School Student/Idol Female Reader.

Summary: Y/L/N Y/N was never the center of attention when she was a student, she was never really recognized by her peers because she blended in so well in the academy—until news broke out after their graduation that she was debuting as a soloist under a big company. With that, Y/N’s name grew into the entertainment scene, her songs topping the charts—even having enough credit to be called in to guest MC for a KCON event, which the idol did not even think twice about accepting. As rumors of Y/N being assigned to the Global Girl Group LOONA’s event, both artists’ fans were thrilled with the interaction. Well, you could say other than Y/N and LOONA’s second member Kim Hyunjin—who blatantly had confessed to having feelings for the soloist before they she had debuted.

“You’re looking again, Y/N-ah? Really? You do know about the dating rumors between her and Jeon Heejin.. Right?”

Your eyes stayed glued on the view outside the window, chin resting on the palm of your hand as you continued to watch the Track team jog down the field—particularly on the laughing brunette who won’t stop smiling to herself while she pushed a few of her teammates, teasing her for some reason you could only wonder about. The girl made a turn around the track so your view of her flushed features were blocked, giving you the opportunity to scan the field for the figure that usually lingers somewhere around the area. And there she was, impossible to miss—stunning visuals even from your view through the window of the fourth floor, Jeon Heejin, on her phone as she talked to her friends and a few followers flocking around her.

She didn’t seem to be paying attention to her best friend at all, almost as if she just decided to drop by and talk to the Track Athlete—who also doubled as the second member of the idol’s recently debuted girl group—before leaving and continuing about her day, coming back after classes to walk home with the girl.

“Seriously, if I was Kim Hyunjin I would be worried that you’re my Sasaeng or something..”

“Will you cut it out? She’s just watching—God, you act like Y/N is obsessed with her. Everyone’s acting like they’re obsessed with Kim Hyunjin and Jeon Heejin!”

They were right about one thing though, about everyone being obsessed over those two, you couldn’t entirely understand it but you had guessed that everyone suddenly wanted to be friends with the two because they were idols. But through your eyes, they were just like you—just two girls finishing their last year in High School, and excluding the fact that none of your schoolmates knew that you had already signed a contract that locked you into the idol life after you’ve graduated. But some of your closest friends knew, and the said close “friends” being ITZY’s Shin Ryujin—who was actually the one that told you about being friends with the two, and endlessly raved about them as you mentioned that you were schoolmates.

All of this happening while these girls around you, these "friends" of yours who knew nothing about how you’d cover it up to them that your late night expeditions were just cram school but in reality—it was actually practice. 

Though watching this was insane to you, the sudden spike in recognition—people they’ve never talked to acting like they’ve been friends forever, being pulled to the side for a picture, all the attention they’ve never had suddenly there because.. They became a figure. You could say that you were watching the two not because you were in awe, but rather—taking notes, what to do and what not to do, and you were learning a lot. And with the information you gathered, you’ve concluded that Kim Hyunjin and Jeon Heejin really are good people, but for now at least—you didn’t want to be associated with them. 

Just for the entire potential pre-debut drama that might come with it after you’ve debuted.

“They’re really pretty.” you commented, just to entice whatever reason it was for your classmates trying to converse with you for. They were never really your friends, and definitely are not after the continuous spiteful remarks they’d pitch in whenever they’d hear about the two idols.

It wasn’t that you hated these girls, but you just can’t be friends with people that are overpowered by envy.

“Of course they are, they’re idols, Y/N. Ugh, whatever—I’m going back to my seat.” you didn’t even bother to check if they actually had left, but you just kept your eyes locked on Kim Hyunjin who was now sitting on the field. You continued to observe until your teacher entered the room, which made you tear your eyes away from the scene to stand up to greet her along with your classmates.

Completely missing Kim Hyunjin’s piercing gaze directed on your figure through the window from the field.

“Come on! Aren’t you the least bit excited? You’re debuting in three days!” 

You had stayed in school for a bit longer after being called into the faculty, your adviser reminding you about the award that would be given to you in the ceremony for your debut date—asking you if you were still going to go for it, and congratulating you along the way. And just as you were slipping your shoes on, Ryujin called to suddenly bombard you with congratulatory messages—all while you can hear the speakers behind her blasting ITZY’s songs which had meant that the girl was currently practicing, but decided to call you through her break.

As if you weren’t going to get Tteokbokki later once she’s finished, something about it being an advanced celebration for both of you graduating and your own debut day—because you would both be too busy on the said date.

“I’m too hungry to think about that right now, you know how I’ve been on diet since last week's photoshoot—this is the only time my manager said it’s okay to eat whatever I want..”

“He’s scared of me, as he should be. I’ll beat him up if you pass out in the practice room again..”

“Seriously, Ryujin you are—”

“Kim Hyunjin!” you stopped just before the entrance of the building, tentative steps pulling you closer to the side of the building. The back of an unfamiliar schoolmate of yours was the first image that had greeted you as you peeked—making you clamp a hand on your mouth, stepping away from their view once you saw the dark look casted on the face of the track-suit wearing idol who looked down at the girl with the yellow letter in hand.

“Please accept my feelings, Kim Hyunjin!”

Your heart hammered heavily in your chest, quickly tapping the red button on the screen of your phone—something that you can only apologize to Ryujin for later, but that isn’t important right now. As of the moment, you knew you weren’t supposed to be lingering—you should be willing yourself further to leave the area because this was something private, it was a situation that can only be resolved by the two people involved, but all you could think of was that..

You wouldn’t know how to deal with this either, this was a girl and—it wasn’t entirely wrong for idols to have same sex relationships because even the opposite would be considered a scandal. If Kim Hyunjin were to accept this.. If she were to even consider this.. Right now just when she had just debuted..

“Why?” Hyunjin’s cold voice pierced through the silence, the tone even making your own heart drop but your mind quickly raced to find an explanation you would use if you were in the idol’s place.

“Sorry, I don’t mean to sound so harsh—I just can’t be in a relationship right now, I’ve just started my career..”

“I—well, you’re cool! And you’re pretty! You like the things I like—”

“I’m really sorry, maybe we could at least be friends?”

“No! There’s more! There’s..” the girl pulled her phone out to show Hyunjin something, making the idol lean a bit closer to stare at whatever it was and from the way her lips pulled into a frown—it was something that had made her even more upset, somehow, “I went to your first fan signing event, and look—even the 1/3 one too! Look, if you would just give me a chance—”

“And that’s enough for you to say you love me?” your fingers clenched around your phone at the dry laugh Hyunjin let out, your patience wearing thin as the idol continued to push the poor girl. The girl stammered for a moment, making you slightly peek to find a look of disbelief on Hyunjin’s face—not at all seeming to be mocking the girl but actual concern, as if she wanted to actually get into the root of why she had confessed in the first place.

For a moment, once you heard her dry laugh—you thought that the girl had really lost it, with her idol mask dropped. But how she had carefully stared at the girl, how her fingers seemed to dig themselves into the hem of her jacket.. She was worried.

“You only love me.. Because I’m an idol?”

“Stop—I didn’t say that! You’re putting words into my mouth—why are you being such a bitch!?” Hyunjin visibly flinched at the sharp tone of the girl who fumed at her statement, making you also tense up in your spot.

This.. This isn’t supposed to be how it’s supposed to go. The unknown girl was just supposed to walk away crying, something along those lines but not hate on the girl—she says she loves her but.. This isn’t..

“Your name is Yoon Jiyeon, right?” the idol asked, inhaling deeply as the toxic girl stayed silent—giving Hyunjin enough time to straighten herself and give her a polite smile, “Jiyeon-ah, thank you for being my fan. But I think you should consider how you treat people first, be kinder to them—because if you end up actually liking someone, and this is exactly how you treat them.. Jiyeon-ah, you’ll end up alone.” you could feel the blood draining from your face at Hyunjin’s unfiltered words, knowing that it was enough to put the final nail in her career’s coffin if it ever got out. 

And with the sharp sound of the girl’s hand connecting with Hyunjin’s cheek, your phone dropped in your hand and the sound made Hyunjin’s vacant eyes snap to yours, which quickly widened as she realized that it was you.

“I got that all on voice record—I knew this would happen, say goodbye to your career Kim Hyunjin!” the girl sneered at Hyunjin before turning to leave, which made her face you—the annoyed look on her face flashing into shock for a moment, until it snapped back to annoyance once more.

“What are you looking at, loser? Get lost!” she hissed as she walked closer to you, aiming to walk past you as your eyes stayed locked on the phone she shakily held in her hand.

What were you thinking?

“Yah! Give it back!”

You should’ve just minded your own business.

“No—How dare you humiliate me! You bitch!”

You just wanted to watch, like the usual.

“Run!” you felt a hand grab yours, dragging you away from the girl and the crushed phone by the side of the wall as your feet did it’s best to keep up with the speed of the girl that pulled you past the school gate—with the girl that you both had just left screaming as she practically pulled her hair out. The burning in your thighs didn’t cease, your head turning to face the image of the girl you had always watched from the fourth floor window—smooth dark brown strands of hair lightening just as the sun setting in front of you two caressed them, the cold evening slowly creeping in but that didn’t matter at the moment.

You just ran, wherever the girl was leading you through the side-walk with her laughter in the background—you just followed.

“..I can’t believe that just happened!”

She’s even more prettier up close.

“I really thought I was done for—you’re crazy, Y/N!”

Her voice.. How is it so soothing?

“I need to get a new phone..”

“Ah—give me a second,” you looked back at Kim Hyunjin who was now sitting next to you on the bench outside of the ice cream store, both of you holding onto a popsicle that was her treat as she fished something out of her pocket, reaching over to grab your free hand and place your phone which now had a cracked screen on it. You frowned at the sight which made Hyunjin laugh, leaning back on her seat as she looked across the street and to the view of the sun setting over the river—her eyes moving back to your figure as you sighed in relief when the device seemed to still be working, opening a series of spammed messages which you quickly replied to.

Hyunjin wondered who the contact name Ryujin was.

“I’ll get you a new phone on my next paycheck.” your alarmed eyes quickly snapped to Hyunjin’s unbothered ones, making you shake your head as the sides of her lips almost pulled into an amused smile—but she had stopped herself.

“That’s not necessary—I was actually on my way out when I decided to snoop around, It’d make me feel bad if you’d think this is your fault..”

“So? Feel bad then.” you gaped at the bluntness that came from the idol, not expecting that she wasn’t all cookie cutter—even with how she handled the girl from earlier, she didn’t have to act like this with everyone.. Or can she?

“Y/N-ah, you’re from class 1B right?” Hyunjin asked nonchalantly, as if you didn’t really have to reply because she knew everything already. Though it almost felt that way, you can never be too sure so you just nodded—looking at the scene in front of the both of you. 

She didn’t really need more people staring at her at this point.

“This might sound stupid, since Heejin and I’s name’s are practically always mentioned during every assembly but—I’m Kim Hyunjin. Nice to finally meet you.”

Finally?

“How did you know my name? Hyunjin?” Hyunjin didn’t reply for a moment, so you turned to check up on her—apparently, she was just caught up staring at you before she blinked, forming an ‘o’ shape with her mouth. Furrowing her brows and looking as if she was trying to remember where exactly she had heard your name from, and when she had finally recalled it—she smiled at you.

“I was checking out clubs when we first transferred, you were the only one in the music room and a member approached me before I could talk to you. There weren’t any meetings that day apparently, they told me your name.” you knitted your brows in confusion, not being able to recall a memory of her—other than when you started watching them from your window of course—but this was oddly surprising, that she had known you way before you knew her apparently.

“Did they tell you, or did you ask?” you bit a piece off of your popsicle, not really seeing the question as a serious one—just a simple way of getting to talk with her more, but since Hyunjin didn’t respond you decided to apologize and tell her it was a stupid question to ask. But before you could even speak, Hyunjin laughed—more to herself than at your question, making you look at the grin plastered on the girl’s face.

“This can’t be real..”

“What can’t be real?” Hyunjin looked at you, something meaning to be said deep behind her eyes which made her laugh again and rise from the seat, glancing down at her melting yellow popsicle as she stood in front you—the sunlight casting an orange glow at the gentle eyes that had directed themselves at your curious ones.

“What?” you pressed further, making Hyunjin lean over to get in eye level with you as you did your best not to slightly move back because the position somehow made you a bit uneasy.

“I asked,” Hyunjin answered, making you release a barely audible hum in reply—counting down the seconds until she could finally give you some space to think, but as Hyunjin’s grin got bigger when you avoided her gaze she decided to give you what you want. Leaning back to her height and staring at the road behind her, “because I thought you were pretty.” she shrugged, making you almost drop your popsicle in your hand.

“But then I started to look for you everywhere, you know—not just in school, but mostly in school. You’re really hard to look for, do you know that, Y/N?” you gripped the wooden stick in your hands as you tried to think of what to reply but Hyunjin got back down to your level, hands resting on her knees as she eyed your popsicle stick and her own before trying to get you to look at her.

“You’re always in your classroom, in lunch you barely stay in the cafeteria with your friends—I see you in the library, in the courtyard, but after a few minutes you’re moving to another place. Y/N, the year is already over and you’re still all over the place, around this time you should already be home—”

“I was in the faculty, my adviser said she needed to talk to me.” you mumbled, which made her raise her brow and sigh as she looked at you—who continued to refuse to meet her eyes. How was it that the girl you've been watching from afar since her debut—was actually watching you at the same time? Even before you had been watching?

“..right, but you do know what this means right?” you turned to look at the expectant gaze of the idol, an inquisitive look on her features as you stared back with an contemplative expression.

“You’re confessing to me?”

“Yup, I know it sounds weird but—I just feel it, and I don’t even know you that well so.. There has to be a reason, right? I was planning to confess in graduation too!” you sighed, looking away from the girl as she stood back up on the soles of her feet to finish up the remains of her half-melted popsicle as she waited for your reply.

“Is it.. Because I’m cool? I’m pretty? Because I like the things you like..?”

“Hey! That’s not fair—” Hyunjin’s heart fluttered at the sight of your lips pulled up into a grin, followed by a laugh at the recollection of what had just happened and how that was practically the most odd thing that had ever happened to you—other than being scouted to be a soloist for one of the biggest idol companies in the entertainment industry.

Which reminded you..

“I’m sorry,” the idol tensed in her spot, the light feeling in her chest slowly disappearing as your smile turned into a somber one, “You don’t deserve to have your career hurt for liking a person of the same sex as you are.” you stood up from your seat, eyeing the darkened sky before meeting the look of disbelief on Hyunjin’s face.

“Is it because you’re.. Straight?”

“What? No—it’s because you’re an idol—”

“So? You’re not, is it because I’m—"

“Hyunjin, please listen,” you had placed a hand on her shoulder which made the girl’s wry smile quickly wiped from her face at the sight of the look of frustration on your features, inhaling deeply before shaking her slightly, “it’s not that I don’t feel anything for you—but this is not the right time to be thinking about yourself. There are literal lives on the line if you let yourself have this—it’s not just you, not just your members.. But your team, your employees, your fans that only wish the best for you until you reach the top.”

“I have feelings for you, Y/N. Can’t you see that—”

“I can see that you do, Hyunjin. But,” you stared at your hand on her shoulder, trying to find the right words to say as she continued to stare at you in anticipation—no matter how much it had pained her, she had seemed to need to hear it from you unless she wanted to carry it with her until her last breath. Taking your hand off her shoulder and staring at her with a determined look on your face, meeting the clear dejection in her eyes, “not right now, this can’t be about us—because we’re almost there. We’re so close to reaching our dreams and.. We’d just both get in the way of that, you need to let this go.”

Hyunjin just stood there, staring at you as you reached for your bag on the ground—taking in a deep breath before meeting her eyes for the last time, thinking if you should say any more to the girl that stared at you with a blank expression on her face.

“You’ll achieve great things, Kim Hyunjin. I’ll see you around.” 

You stared down at the cue cards in your hand, biting the inside of your cheek before looking away from it to look through the windows and find your fans and LOONA’s fans excitedly waving at you—it was heartwarming to see, both of you and the group’s fans in such good terms under such bad weather conditions yet they still looked thrilled to be watching this unfold. The main MC stood next to you on the stage for an opening speech about the group as you plastered a small smile on your lips as she did so, completely clueless about the whirlwind of thoughts you were currently having at the memory that had played nonstop in your mind since your team had mentioned which group you were assigned to.

Ryujin’s cackles echoed through the memory as well, remembering how you had met her in the Tteokbokki place with distraught features—looking absolutely stunned as you sat there in front of her and told her what had just happened. And once it was publicly announced that you had gotten LOONA.. Maybe you shouldn’t have picked up that phone call from your best friend that had her laughing through most of your conversation, and she even called you earlier to wish you the best of luck—but to also laugh into the receiver as well.

Though you and Hyunjin had never spoken to each other since her confession, it didn’t stop you from giving her group your support. It wasn’t hard at all, they were great and you actually were into their concept accompanied by the lore—you even went out of your way on one of your lives to converse with your fans about their theories, and of course this had reached the members.

And with the members hearing about you, singing a few of your songs—Heejin mentioned that you did indeed come from the same school, that you were in the class directly in front of theirs. There were numerous questions directed at Hyunjin in that live as well but you were quick to leave the clip, not wanting to see if she had actually ended up hating you or whatnot. But as you went about your days, your fans hadn’t mentioned anything so you had guessed that the girl didn’t really speak much of you—which was great, that means that what happened that evening was just between the two of you and had involved no one else.

Though it did have you wondering if this was her purposely brushing the encounter off, if she had done this because she knew this would hurt both of your reputations—or she had really saw you in a different light, the opposite of how she had seen you back then. It didn’t matter now, really—idols have disputes, it happens, but in truth it would sting if it’s between you and Hyunjin. You were only looking out for the girl, you were more concerned about how she had seen her career than you had wanted to keep yours clean—you saw the surprised look on her face once you were crowded by paparazzi in the ceremony, she should’ve known your intentions were clear by then.

But if she ended up hating you for it, there wasn’t really anything you can do.

“Im Yeojin!” the MC announced as the nine other members stood on the sides, the Maknae waving in a formal manner to everyone and even going out of her way to walk over to you and shake your hand—which had you laughing in no time, shaking your head as the girl threw a heart sign at the camera before it was your turn to announce the next member.

Of course, it had to be you.

“Kim Hyunjin.” you couldn’t meet her eyes so you settled on looking down at the cue cards, hoping that both of your fans hadn’t caught up on your aversion by going through the words written in them just before the woman next to you announced Heejin’s name. You looked up from the cards in your hand, expecting to find Heejin already in place—only to directly look into Hyunjin’s eyes, making the both of you quickly look away from one another, with Hyunjin almost tripping on her own feet as she scrambled to stand next to a concerned Yeojin.

“Unnie, are you okay? You look pale.”

“Be quiet.” Hyunjin shushed the member, the mic catching the nervousness in her tone that echoed through the feedback of everyone’s earpieces—making her members glance at the girl just as they did their usual greeting before looking at the main MC who continued introducing the girls as you smiled at the camera.

“So how are you feeling right now Y/N? With this being the first time you’re guest hosting?”

“I’m a bit nervous, actually—it’s the cue cards that I’m afraid to mess up, I’ve always been a fan of LOONA so..” Chuu squealed from her spot while Yves grabbed onto Olivia Hye’s arm to start dramatically singing your most recent song, the intimidating girl making you flustered when she returned the girl’s energy. The members ended up trying to one-up one another for your attention—except for a silent Kim Hyunjin who had a small smile on her lips as she just nodded—so the main MC quickly asked them to take their seats before it got too much about you than the group. The event had passed faster than you’d expect it to, even though you and Hyunjin barely had any interaction—her members were too soft to ignore, they made your first hosting experience go smoother than you could have ever imagined it.

But if you thought you could easily slip out of the girls’ hold that fast, you should think again—because just before they were supposed to make their way to the dressing room to get ready for their performance, they were quick to engage a conversation with you which almost felt as if it would never end until their staff called for them. So you took this as your cue to leave, bowing before turning to head to the stage when you felt fingers wrap around your wrist—making you turn in your heels as you were dragged into a less crowded area in the set.

“What—”

“I still have feelings for you.” you choked when you met Hyunjin’s glare, your eyes locked on the idol who looked almost as if she sprinted from the dressing room the second she was done getting changed—because she had donned her stage outfit, contrasting her members that just lingered to talk with you.

“This isn’t the right time to be talking about this—”

“You told me to forget about it, right? But how can I do that if I see you everywhere, hear you everywhere—do you hate me this much? Y/L/N Y/N!?” Hyunjin’s grip tightened around your wrist but you didn’t wince, the image of the girl’s eyes slowly brimming with tears made you glance at the staff who passed by yet didn’t seem to see you two at all—so you made a move to shift the distraught girl even further out of view so you stood in a way that blocked her from being seen by anyone. Placing your hand on her own that were on your wrist to give her a calculated look.

“Don’t cry here.”

“It's still about them? After all these years you still don't think about yourself? Y/N—"

"I was watching you, before—the same way you did with me," you carefully told her, watching her angered expression slowly turn into a look of confusion as you felt her fingers loosen around your wrist. A small smile on your lips as you scanned her features, "after that evening, I found myself doing the same thing you did—with looking for you everywhere."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Hyunjin grumbled, sniffling as you melted at the sight, even though it was a painful scene to watch. Reaching over to tilt her head up so her tears don't smear her makeup, she looked even more confused but still let you place your fingers on her chin.

"I guess you can say that your confession made me realize that I wasn't only watching you because I wanted to prepare myself for when I become an idol," you swallowed sharply, trying your best not to lose your train of thought at the sight of Hyunjin continuing to stare at you, "I think it's just funny how the first thing that came to my mind after I debuted was that I needed to talk with you. You know, after I told you to forget about it."

"Is this.. You confessing that you like me?" Hyunjin took your hand off her chin, holding it firmly as she squinted her eyes at you as if trying to see if you were kidding or not.

"Why? Does it sound like a setup? I'm trying to tell you I like you back, it took some time to think—"

"But you still won't date me?" you opened your mouth to reply as Hyunjin raised her brow, swiftly grabbing ahold of your neck to pull you closer to her and making you yelp, almost actually falling into her hold—but Hyunjin was strong enough to hold you both in place, the closeness of your faces making your mind flash back to that evening but also fully recognize how mature her face has gotten.

"But you still can't kiss me?"

"H-hey, I told you—I've just come into terms with liking you, you're pushing your luck, Kim Hyunjin—"

"You're the one pushing your luck, I've liked you for years and you think I'd just let you get away with acting like this?"

"Yah! Kim Hyunjin! Where did that girl run off to.." you had reflexively pushed Hyunjin off of you, making her stumble back as you turned to face a clueless Haseul who had her brows knitted—but as soon as she saw you her eyes lit up and a warm smile eased your flustered state.

"Y/N! Have you seen Hyunjin anywhere? She left the dressing room earlier looking a bit under the weather, but Vivi and Gowon are almost done.. If you see her can you—"

"I'm here, I'll catch up later." you felt your heart stop once Haseul's eyes moved from you to her member, to then move back to you—making her smile turn into a smirk before she nodded.

"Right.. Later." Haseul snorted before waving at you and meeting Heejin down the hallway who was complaining about Yeojin bothering her—the sight looking almost like a sibling fight.

"So.. Where were we?"

"Goodbye, Kim Hyunjin."

"What? No! You can't do this to me—I want my payback! Y/N!"

Long time no see, long time no see~

A week passed by too quickly, I thought I posted a few days ago—turns out it’s been a week and three days? But I’ve been very busy this week so it was honestly weird how I went in and out of the writing mood when I had so much on my plate, I wanted to write to relieve some stress but I guess it just frustrated me even more—it’s funny lmao.

New template! Do you guys like the inverted borders or.. Through my screen it looks better than the first one—maybe more cleaner? And I like it better because of that? Oddly enough when I changed it to the new one it reminded me of this version of Lightning Mcqueen.

 (Did I ruin the OS for you guys? Yes? Ok, sorry then—Lighting’s staying though lmao.)

Also, new template because I got into photoshop, and now there is no way you’ll ever see the gifs in non-high definition form no longer—I’ve also learnt how to color change objects in videos for my gifs, (and when I tell you guys that I’ve thought of another Jinsoul OS that I thought would be a cool concept.. I keep Jinsoul-baiting I’m so sorry, she just has the greatest ideas from me, she’s not even my bias but her power.) and I’ve also learned how to change the header colors in the actual color hex of the members. All that while I’m balancing my irl life in a span of a week! Still can’t believe that even on my free time—I’m still pushing myself to be productive.

Also! By the way—we’ve reached 100 you guys! And with that—a blog that I’ve binge read obsessively before I made this blog is part of you guys. I’m too shy to tag so if you’re reading this.. 

IreallyloveyourworkandIhopeyouwritemoreaboutloonabecauseIlovethemsomuchandIwentanononyourblogtorequestonceanditwasablackpinkonesoI’msureitgotthroughbecauseitwaswaybackwhenyouhadroséinblackpinkhouseasyourpfpthankyouforyourserviceIcan’tbelieveyouactuallyfollowedthisblog.

How about you guys, what have you been up to? Did the week pass by smoothly with you guys too? I really feel like something shifted in this week for some reason, but maybe that’s just me you know? But damn, you guys really grow fast don’t you? I remember feeling so shy when we just had around 10 but—you guys..! :(

I want to keep writing more for this blog, I have so many ideas yet it’s as if only time will tell when I’ll write it exactly the way I want it to.. Because fics like this was done in one seating and—I want to put more thought into it so it would be clearer! More expressions! But for now.. We can settle for this, yeah? At least we know she’s still writing, that’s a place to always start.

Laters (hopefully for not more than a week again),

JJ.

Everything Changed

synopsis: Areum and Minho sit and talk about how their lives are so much different now, and he also bombs a confession  prompt 4 “if you don’t fall asleep right now I’m pushing you off the bed”

note: i have no idea where this was heading but i’m not mad at it tbh... enjoy!

Minho and Areum were gathered in the olders room as the final credits rolled on the movie they had been watching. It was rare that the two friends actually had time to spend with each other. They were always cautious about hanging around each other, despite their close relationship it wasn’t something that they wanted to deal with in the public opinions. Having started their days off with the girl being dragged into his workout routine, she battled with him to visit a cute cafe that she had seen all over her social media - using promises of free food and grovelling to get him to agree.

The dorm where he resided was quiet, a very rare occasion with the boys who lived there but something that they were both thankful for. Picking up her phone, Areum gasped at the sheer number of notifications she had gotten from her girls. Minho let out a laugh as he looked over her shoulder at her phone, “Damn, it’s like they thought you died. Look at this one from Lia,” Clearing his throat he took the phone out of her hands, “Unnie, are you insane? No calls, no response, what if you were dead? What if you got kidnapped! For all we know you could be with some cre- hey!” His tone quickly became offended as he continued reading, causing the girl to snatch her phone back. 

“Serves you right for taking it creeper. Plus you won’t be laughing when I show you the picture that Felix snuck from your doorway when you were crying” Rolling his eyes, he pushed the laptop off the bed and stood stretching his limbs. “But in all seriousness, did you not tell your members that you were coming over?” Shaking her head, she reached her hand out for the discarded water bottle that lay resting on the blanket, “No I did, but I said we were only going to eat and it’s now 11pm at night and I’m not home. They just worry, it’s sweet”

Nodding in understanding, Minho thought to how he would react if it was one of the guys, but at the same time, he doesn’t baby his members as much as Areum. 

Areum watched him as he turned on the lamp, the two had always been close from the moment they met. In a way, causing many straying eyes to focus on them but he was still the same boy she met at the back of that dance class. At least that’s what she told herself. His newly coloured hair kept catching the light, and in his black tee you could really see the outline of his back and shoulders. “If you keep looking at me you’re going to burn a hole through me,” His tone held a smug sound, he leaned back on his desk as he caught her eye. “I’m just thinking…” Her quiet voice made him lift his brow, “About?” 

She just shook her head, not answering him as she laid back down, resting her head on his pillows. He was curious, he had felt her stares before but he never paid attention to them, most of the time it was a passing glance in the halls but it felt different here. Something was on her mind and he could tell by the way she curled herself up that it was troubling her, “Hey,” he spoke in a soft voice, moving slowly towards his bed, “You can tell me. What’s running through your head right now?” “You’ll think I’m being stupid” “Areum, I don’t think that, I know it. But I still wanna hear,”

Turning to his side, Minho was slightly shocked to feel her hug into him. Sure they were touchy, the skinship was comfortable for them but this was a different kind of hold, “You’re different. Everything is… ” Confused, he lifted her into a more comfortable spot on his chest, holding her as he waited for her to continue. 

“ It’s like, we know that time has passed. I mean, ITZY has been together for so long now and the debut of you feels like it was a lifetime ago. And you’re always off doing so many things and you’re so busy and even looking at old photos it's just, changed. Nothing feels the same anymore and I mean, we used to run and hide between dance lessons with cheap snacks from a convenience store and now we hide hanging out in our dorms watching movies after trying to not be spotted at expensive cafes. Like take today for example, we met at a gym where you got me to do this entire workout and when we were stopped I could hear the sound of a camera going, and then all these girls came to approach you and even when we were eating, I could feel the looks at us,” In the midst of her talking, her hand had reached to start playing with a loose thread on his shirt, his hands rubbing circles on her back. Minho had no idea how long this had been building up but he wasn’t going to interrupt her. 

“And when I was looking at you, it made me realise how much time had really changed everything. Like I said, stupid I know,” “Except it’s not. It’s weird sure, but we grew up Areum. We became idols and we got older and it’s just part of our life now. But it’s not all bad, I mean look at how handsome I’ve gotten over time.” He laughed out as she smacked his chest, “You ruined it… “ “I didn’t, I just broke the cloud you were creating. Ari it’s normal to feel like this, sometimes I miss it too but we just have to deal with a lot of these things now. You’re my best friend, and no matter how much time passes, how much life changes, we will still be us. Just different.” 

Nodding she sat up, pulling up her phone to send a message to the girls, “It’s late, I’m going to head home. I have recording tomorrow” 

As she shuffled off the bed, Areum pulled a discarded hoodie off the floor, “Hey, just because we had a moment doesn’t mean you get to steal my clothes” “Of course it does, goodnight sunbae” Dodging a pillow as she made her escape, Areum said a soft night, to the rest of the boys as she passed, promising to message when she got home safe.  

The door to the bedroom opened moments later, a cheshire grin painting the face of the culprit, “Best friend. You said best friend” His laughter filled the room as he pounced on his now sulking team mates bed, “Felix I will smack you,” As he was forced to move over on the bed as he pounced on him, he caught a lingering whiff of her perfume, “Dude, we left you alone the entire time and she pours her heart out to you after literally checking you out and you call her your best friend? Even Jisung isn’t that daft.” “I swear to god, if you’re just going to annoy me… “ “What you going to do? Crush my heart by calling me you’re be-” “I swear if you don’t fall asleep right now I’m pushing you off the bed” Giggling, Felix pulled out his phone sending an update about the situation, “Anyways do you wanna see the photos I took of you two all cuddled up, it’s quite sweet.” “You really need to stop spying on us when we’re together dude,” “So you don’t?” “Oh shut up and show me, I already saw the one you sent to one of her members”

Ateez: Their Little Sister Is A Popular Idol

Kim Hongjoong:

Hongjoong and you debuted roughly around the same time, and fans lived for your sibling interactions because they were just outright hilarious. You would always end up yelling at each other or having cute little banters.

One day, you were both invited on a special sibling episode of Weekly Idol with other idols, such as Jessica and Krystal, Izone's Chaeyeon and Itzy's Chaeryeong, Oneus' Xion and Onewe's Dongmyeong and Ex Boyfriend's Youngmin and Kwangmin. It was filled with competitions and Hongjoong and you just seemed to struggle to work together. It was especially hilarious when you two played the 'Shout In Silence' game.

"Knock Out!!" You shouted once you saw the word, which was coincidentally your debut song.

"Huh?!" Hongjoong couldn't really understood what your lips formed.

"Knock Out!" You repeated, louder this time.

"Blocked cow?!" He asked, unsure of his answer.

"Stop messing around Kim Hongjoong! Think! My debut song! Knock Out!" You were getting desperate.

"Wait what!" Hongjoong asked.

"My debut song!!!"

But Hongjoong stayed silent, his brain trying to think.

"Didn't you watch it?! Knock Out!!!" You hollered even louder.

"Jumped Out?!" He tried answering.

"Kim Hongjoong I will knock you out if you don't get it!!! Knock Out! Knock Out! Ugh! Stupid!" Your voice was hurting at this point.

"Hey!!! I understood 'stupid'!!! I'm older than you!" He warned you.

Yeah, you had the entire set laughing.

Park Seonghwa:

As your older brother, Seonghwa was extremely protective of you growing up and that didn't change even after you debuted. In fact, his desire to protect you intensified. You often complained about it, hating how he was always fussing over you, reminding you to eat healthy and annoying you at times.

Seonghwa lived for it though. His members were even surprised by how soft he turned for you only. And of course fans thought you two were so adorable. Atinys often liked to tease him about it, often asking him about what he'd do when you started dating. That always seemed to annoy him.

"She's not allowed to date until I'm dead." Was his response every time.

Being Seonghwa's sister, of course you were beautiful, and a lot of idols had their eyes set on dating you. But of course, Seonghwa was always there to cockblock them. Even on tv, he had no chill when telling them to back off.

"Seonghwa have you heard the news?" The tv host asked.

"What news?" He asked.

"Well, with your sister acting in the new web drama, there's rumors going around that she's dating her co-star."

Seonghwa's eye twitched at that, and the other members started laughing.

"I don't think he likes that idea." Yunho chuckled.

"Any words about the situation or to her co-star?" The host asked.

Seonghwa looked to the camera for a few seconds before holding his microphone up.

"Over my dead body." He responded causing the members to go into chaotic mode over his response.

Jeong Yunho:

Yunho was the most supportive brother and he often said he was your biggest fan. Any chance he got, he'd promote you and your group, and was always dancing around to your songs. He'd even post dance covers of them, just to show his support. Every interaction you had, whether at music shows, ISAC or variety shows, he was your personal cheerleader.

He was also extremely clingy towards you, often hugging you, tangling his long limbs over your tiny body.

"Let go Yunho! You're squishing me!" You often told him.

"No! Let me love you!" Your protests would only encourage him to squish you even tighter.

Of course, the dancing genes ran strong in your family. Fans often praised your dancing abilities and were often wondering if you two would ever collaborate together to come up with a choreography. That's exactly what they asked Yunho one day when he was reacting to your comeback music video.

"Wow! As usual, Y/N slays the dance. She's getting better than she already was."

He looked at his phone, reading the fan's comments and landed on a particular question everyone was wondering.

"Would we ever create a dance together? Hmmm."

He thought about it for a moment.

"Honestly, I'd love to do it. What do you say baby sis? Wanna help your Oppa create a choreography? Just us two?"

He snickered when he thought about what you'd say when you saw his VLive.

"She's probably going to say no, tell me I'm annoying and to get lost. She has such a temper........"

He paused before smirking.

"You know what they say. Tiny creatures are more feisty cause their tiny bodies can't hold a lot of rage."

"She's going to kill you when she finds out you said that." Yeosang said from behind the camera.

"Probably. She hates being called tiny." Yunho agreed.

Kang Yeosang:

Although Yeosang was super proud of you for debuting, he kept the fact you two were siblings a secret for a long time and honestly you liked it that way too. You were both introverts and preferred to lay low.

Fans of your groups often compared you two, saying how similar you looked, how you were both the savage ones of your groups, even your little habits and love for chicken was extremely similar. Of course, both of you saw their posts and videos comparing you two, and you both cringed when some thought you'd be cute together. That's when you two stepped in and clarified you were siblings. Now it was fan's turn to be shook at the revelation.

And that became the topic when your groups were invited on a variety show. At one point, Ateez was complaining how Yeosang roasts them so much that they're scared of him and can't ever say anything back. You burst out laughing at that.

"He may be my older brother, but I'm not scared of his sharp tongue." You bravely admitted.

That's when the hosts suggested you expose something about your brother, like he did to his members on Weekly Idol. All of Ateez were super excited about the suggestion.

"Try your best. I'm not scared." Yeosang said confidently, but you knew deep down he was nervous about what you would say.

You couldn't help the smirk on your face as you thought about how to embarrass him.

"So my Oppa here, in front of cameras and with his members, likes to be cold and aloof, hating aegyo and skinship......not wanting Seonghwa or Wooyoung to baby him.......but it's a lie."

Everyone gasped at that.

"Cause at home, our parents are always babying him and he basks in their affection. He's always doing aegyo for them too. Atinys don't be fooled. Kang Yeosang is a literal baby."

Everyone started laughing at that, San and Wooyoung standing up and exclaiming that he was such liar and fake.

For once, Yeosang was so flustered at getting exposed, by none other than his little sister. He was speechless.

"Finally! The great Kang Yeosang had a taste of his own medicine!" Mingi exclaimed, having been Yeosang's constant victim.

No one had the power to make Yeosang scared like you did.

Choi San:

Your number 1 hype man, your caring brother, your part time manager, your personal photographer, and your cuddle bug, there's nothing Choi San wouldn't turn himself into for you. Would legit run a fan blog dedicated to you if he could. Is always praising you and saying the sweetest things about you.

Tries to get you to show off more of your skills and talents. You're shy and somewhat quiet, so people tend to look more at the other members, that's why San is always promoting you and encouraging you to not be afraid to show your true colors.

If you two are in public together, he's always holding your hand or holding you close. Yeah, definitely wants pics of you two to circulate the internet. Spoils you to no end. And he enjoys having you spend time with the other members. They adore you as well.

"Isn't she the cutest? The most adorable thing you've ever seen?" He gives you endless aegyo constantly.

"Did you just call me a thing?" You raised an eyebrow at him.

But you can't stay mad at him, not with that sad pout.

That being said, sometimes you do feel embarrassing by him. You're more reserved and somewhat conservative and so used to seeing cute San, that whenever he turns into demon San you're covering your face or screaming loudly.

"Aaahhh! What the heck San!!! What was that? Oh my god!" You screeched one day when you were reacting to one of his fancams.

"What happened to my older brother?! The one that carries Shiber around everywhere?! What have you done to him?!"

You grabbed your bottle of water dramatically and pretended to throw some at the screen.

"Be gone unclean spirit! Off with you!"

That's the one thing you two have in common: you're both super dramatic and so extra over the smallest of things.

Song Mingi:

He's the older one? Really? That's what everyone was thinking when you confirmed you were siblings. It's not that you looked older or him younger, no. It was your personality. You were extremely mature for your age and were often captured taking care of Mingi or scolding him. Naturally, people thought you were the older one.

Mingi honestly didn't mind. He often joked that he was indeed the baby and you were the older one. Every time you got asked why you babied him, it was the same thing.

"Have you seen him? He'd be dead if it wasn't for me. I'm the reason he's alive."

Mingi actually didn't mind you saying those things.

"That's how she shows her love. She knows she enjoys my company."

It was extremely hilarious for fans to see you guys spend time together. You two once did a VLive collaboration and it became a trending topic for days because it was extremely chaotic and funny.

"Mingi! I told you to flip the eggs!" You shouted at him.

"I tried! But it was stuck!" He tried to excuse himself.

"You're just a scaredy cat! Afraid of getting burnt!" You told him as you turned off the stove.

You immediately grabbed a kitchen towel and started fanning it over the smoke that accumulated in the kitchen.

"God! Mingi I know for a fact you have brain cells.....so fucking use them!"

Mingi gasped at your words.

"Y/N! There's a camera!" He reminded you.

You went wide eyed and panicked. Mingi began laughing at your reaction.

"Oh my god! You cussed live in front of fans!"

Mingi was cracking up so hard at what happened. You were so embarrassed by your mistake. You banged your head on the counter.

"Kill me now." You groaned.

Mingi came up behind you and hugged you.

"Hey don't worry little sis. At least now they know not to mess with you."

Finally, Mingi showed that he was indeed your older brother who was always there to comfort you when you needed it.

Jung Wooyoung:

"You're Ateez' Wooyoung's younger sibling right? What's he like as your brother?"

You often got asked that question and it was always accompanied by you sighing.

"Honestly.....he's a pain. I love him, but he's too much."

Yes Wooyoung loved you as well, but he was super annoying and his past time was teasing you to no end. Even if you threatened to smack him, which you did, or threatened to tell your parents, he'd still keep going.

"And here we see our tiny main vocalist getting ready, and like most females, she's going to take an hour on just her hair then spend 45 minutes on foundation, then-"

"Moooom! Wooyoung is narrating my life again!" You interrupted his narration.

"Snitch! Don't you know that snitches get stitches?" Wooyoung exclaimed, pushing the camera he was holding closer to your face.

"Bitches get stitches too.....Bitch!" You glared at him.

"Oooh! You! I should upload this to the internet and let all your fans know their sweet honey vocalist cusses like a sailor." Wooyoung threatened you.

"Do it no balls! Just remember who taught me those words in the first place." You smirked at him.

"......Shit! Why'd you have to inherit my blackmail skills?" Wooyoung said as he finally stopped recording.

Wooyoung was always reacting to your content though, often making fun of you, but he wasn't mean all the time. He often complimented you on your singing abilities. He was always saying you had the voice of an angel. And if there was something he was extremely vocal about was about any hate comments you got. He was quick and eager to call haters out.

"Dying dolphin? Who you calling dying dolphin? Have you even heard a dolphin dying? This is what it sounds like."

Suddenly Wooyoung began screeching at the top of his lungs, startling the member in the next room.

"What the hell are you doing on your VLive Jung Wooyoung?!" Seonghwa called out.

"I'm showing some bastards the difference between a dying dolphin and an angel singing so they can stop saying bullshit!"

Choi Jongho:

Jongho hates people acting cute, doesn't react to his Hyungs doing aegyo, and is never soft with anyone.....except you, his little sister. It was extremely surprising, even for the members of Ateez. You were the complete opposite of Jongho: you were tiny, cute, adorable, full of aegyo and were not afraid to show it off any chance you got. Loona's Chuu and Lovelyz' Kei had nothing on you in cuteness.

It never failed to amaze people how he smiled that bright gummy smile he had every time you did aegyo for him. The first time you did it was during an episode of Idol Room. It was a game of trying to get Jongho to smile, laugh, react to anything and all of the Ateez members failed. Then you came up with your pigtails and bright smile.

"Oppa! Why so angry? Can't you smile for me?"

The whole room burst into screaming and groaning when Jongho immediately smiled for you and patted your head.

"What the heck!" "That's impossible! He hates aegyo!" "This is rigged! That's sibling privilege!" "What the hell did I embarrass myself for?!"

Anytime anyone mentioned you, he'd immediately light up. He was so soft for you.

"Isn't my sister the cutest?"

Don't push him though. He's also very overprotective of you. Anytime he sees an idol staring at you too much, he flexes his muscles. Anytime the members said you looked cute or pretty, he'd warn them he'd split them like apples if they got too close.

Jongho nearly had a heart attack when he was watching your group's comeback with the other members. And it was because your group suddenly changed your cute concept for a more mature and sexy concept. He was flipping tables, literally.

"What did they do to my little sister?! What happened to her space buns and oversized sweaters?! Why is she wearing that short skirt?! Why are you guys staring?! Stop looking at the screen!!"

The others were cracking up at him as he tried to cover the screen with his body.

Gifs not mine, credit goes to their respective owners.

kikiii i need to know if you’ve heard the recent gg cbs (kep1er and loona) and lapillus’ debut !! and ur thoughts on them pls <3

AHHH I WAS WAITING FOR IT ! i, yesss, have heard all of them and i got to know that lapillus has a member which is from Philippines/Argentina? I GOT EXCITED! NGL! this girl called Maria Chantal Videla (or chanty, her stage name) is fire fr, but anyways, gonna talk about the recent comebacks under the cut so the dash isnt full of my babbling

i will start with LOONA since i'm an orbit AND I WAS SO EXCITED to listen and see my 12 cutie girls doing a summer concept (which is a concept i adore, i was a sistar stan pls), but i felt that BBC tried to do something that mixes elegant concept with summery tones and not the other way around and I don't know if this was a shot in the foot or not, i got this impression especially because of the white tulle clothes when they are in the train in the beginning of the MV, yk? besides that, I felt that choerry got SO little screen time? i don't know if theres any orbit out there thinking this too, but i can't stop thinking about it every time i see the MV, which by the way is too beautiful! other than that, i'm truly happy to see yeojin & haseul with a bit more lines, although gowon and vivi are still… anyway…

and about the song ! i liked it, really, i liked it a lot and i CANNOT STOP REPRODUCING "that, that, that, that, that, that, oh gotta do, gotta do" LOONA LEAVE ME ALONE

now about kepler girlssss, i must admit that i was expecting a COMPLETELY different song because i was basing it on the teasers, yk? and i still have such a mixed feeling about it, but hikaru and dayeon/xiaoting's lines HAVE MY HEART ALL OVER! i loved hikaru's hair and i also thought the blonde bahiyyih LOOKED GREAT, AMAZINGGG. but, anyway, i felt that wake one kind of told kepgirls in this comeback: "you'll have the budget of a soda for the MV, so work your magic" WAKE ONE IS NOT IN BANKRUPTCY AND STILL WON'T GIVE THEM A WELL WORKED MV 😭😭

but, anyway, yk that scene where the girls are kind of in the universe (?), with those beautiful crowns? THAT MOMENT IS RECORDED IN MY MIND TODAY, they were flawless!

and, finally, about lapillus! I AM SO HAPPYYYYY TO SEE SHANA DEBUTING!!! this girl deserves the world for real, and for a gg that debuted less than a week ago, i loved their MV and i got the feeling that HIT YA could be a bside from aespa just because it has some undertones of sci-fi as a concept and also the beat really made me remember something that aespa could pull off and slay and i think that's because of this feeling i liked HIT YA so much, AND DAMNN THAT YOUNG GIRL, HAEUN, WHAT SHE HAS IN HER BLOOD? bruh, she slays dancing af i goT CHOCKED seeing her at their showcase and she is like... 14y old? a 08 liner, jesus christ... i also liked so much bessie & yue's voices ! got a little sad that chanty just got a few lines that are for real the same thing, but i think she may be improving her korean?

but, anyways, i have no idea of where the second verse of HIT YA went, because it's literally just "HIT YA HIT YA HIT YA HIT YA" but ok i'll let it pass just because shana made me fall in love with this girls

i can say i'm not disappointed in any way with recent gg releases and i'm so excited for NAYEON solo debut, for aespa comeback, itzy comeback and well anyone whos coming too cuz i dont remember everybody 😭

part one

the morning of november 12th is a dreary one. when you wake up, you have little to no motivation to go to work. it's a downcast, rainy day, and seoul looks as sad as it's probably capable of looking.

work is slow. you work on your current project, but writing today feels like this: you write out a sentence. then you delete it. and then you rewrite the exact same sentence. you do this for eight hours, and by the end of it, the air seems thick with your desire to leave. 

as you leave the building, a few coworkers try to spark conversation. 

“oh, y/n-ssi, you should come have soju with us later, we-”

“hey, y/n! do you want to-”

you don't let any of them finish. today had not been not your day. actually, when was the last time any day had been “your day?” you are exhausted, burnt out. you miss your family, who are busy living halfway across the world. you miss your father, long dead after a tragic accident when you were young. you miss the fleeting friendships of your childhood. you miss what it felt like to have someone greet you as you came home after a long day. you miss being loved.

as you begin your long walk home, a thought occurs to you. when had you last visited the bookshop? it had probably been a while since you’d seen mrs. seon… maybe you should stop by. after all, a trip to the 30 year old bookshop might brighten your mood.

twenty minutes later, you shuffle awkwardly through the front doors of “bookshop”, careful not to get your dripping shoes too close to the new releases. and yes, the store was called “bookshop”. in reality, the store had simply never been named, but everyone who visited it knew it as just the bookshop. you glance around, hoping to find mrs. seon, but she was nowhere in sight. that was alright though… more time to browse. you scrape the last bits of rain off your boots and wander towards the back of the store. this was your favorite part of the whole establishment, and that was saying something. the whole shop was filled to the brim with battered books- centuries old classics, modern literature, old journals of long dead men… and many of the books were not korean, but european or american. this was possibly the most diverse bookstore in seoul. you adore it. but the back of the store was especially amazing. this was where the seon family kept the american classics. authors like john steinbeck and f. scott fitzgerald lined the shelves, their colorful spines making a bold statement about the content within. most were old, beaten up copies, but many of them were in english- something you secretly love. 

letting loose a small smile, you run your fingertips along the book spines. suddenly, you see a blur of movement out of the corner of your eye. you whirl around, swiveling your body to your left. and in front of you, not even six feet away, is a boy. a...a beautiful boy. you feel your breath catch. holy shit, he was gorgeous. pale blond hair frames a sharp, tanned face- the boy has sleek, judging eyes, and higher-than-god-himself cheekbones. for a moment you just stare. you can’t help it. but the boy doesn't look up. you lower your eyes again, shifting your attention back to the books. honestly, you aren't sure why you’d reacted like that. he hadn’t said or done anything. and though he is attractive, you are relatively uninterested. this is a bookstore, after all. this is where people came when they didn’t want to talk to people.

a few minutes pass quietly, and you continue to browse the books. after finally deciding on a collector’s copy of steinbeck’s east of eden, you look up again. and there he is. looking right at you. as soon as your eyes connect with his, though, his shoot back down to the phone in his hand. you blink, wondering if he needs anything. 

another beat passes. he glances up again, and this time, you force him to hold your gaze, shooting him a small smile. you see his eyes widen slightly before you turn on your heel and head towards the front of the store.

by the time you reach the checkout counter, an employee is there to assist you. she smiles and makes small talk while bagging your new treasure, then sends you on your way. no longer thinking about the blond boy, you pull up your hood and leave to head home.

only a few minutes had passed since you’d left the store when it happens. you feel odd, like someone is watching you...at first you think you’re imagining things, but as you turn around, you are face to face with the boy from the bookstore. a small gasp escapes your lips. 

“oh,” is the first thing he says.

you take a step back. "oh-uh," you stumble to find the right words. "hello."

without a word, the boy straightens his stance and reaches towards you. instantly wary, you take another step back. but his arm stops short. resting in his slim hand is a small brown wallet. wait- your wallet. you hesitate, then begin to dig through your shoulder bag. sure enough, the wallet is absent. you look back up into his brown eyes, startled by the intensity of his gaze.

"you- you dropped this." he says quietly.

his voice also startles you. it has a low pitch, but is painfully soft. it reminds you of something, but you don't know what.

"oh, wow. thank you so much," you manage, reaching for the wallet. as you take it, his long fingers brush yours; the lightest touch. his hands are freezing.

"your hands are so cold!" you remark, surprising yourself. talking to strangers in the street. what have you become, y/n?

the young man's pride must have faltered, and his ears turn an endearing pink color.

"it's getting cold out, you really should wear some gloves or something."

he raises his eyebrows. "you aren't wearing any either."

 without missing a beat, you respond: "i run hot."

 a smile plays at his lips. "well then, i guess i'll wear gloves next time."

 up close, you notice he is even more beautiful than you had anticipated. he wears no visible makeup, and he has a big pink birthmark near one of his eyes. it's mesmerizing. by now, you've completely forgotten about your foul mood from earlier.

"by the way," he continues, still speaking quietly. "are you a regular at that shop?"

you pause. "i guess you could say so. i know the owners pretty well, too. mrs. seon is practically my mom here..." you chuckle.

he tilts his head. "what do you mean?"

"oh, it's just that my own family doesn't live here." you pause, and decide you need to elaborate. "i'm american."

his eyes widen, just the tiniest bit. "oh, are you? i wouldn't have known. your korean is amazing."

"well, it is my first language, so i'd hope so." you laugh a little. "but yeah, my family lives in america. i moved here when i was sixteen- i wanted to be an idol." you admit.

this seems to take him by surprise.

you continue without being prompted. "i was a trainee for a few years, but... it just.. it didn't work out. but when it was over, i realized i just couldn't force myself to leave korea. i love it too much."

he nods. "i think i know what you mean."

"so i'm just a student now. turns out i probably should have planned to go to school even if i had debuted... oops."

he nods again, his face remaining neutral and distant.

realizing how much you had just revealed, your body stiffens. "anyways. um, it was nice meeting you-" you pause. he hadn't told you his name.

"yeosang." he said, reading your mind. "my name is yeosang."

"oh. well, it was nice to meet you, yeosang, but i really should be going."

he hesitates, opening his mouth as if to say something. but he closes it and gives a small smile. "okay."

you give a small bow and turn to leave, but he catches you by the arm. "but wait, i want to know your name, too."

you glance back at him, into his eyes, which are shining with hardly hidden curiosity. "y/n." you say.

"y/n," he repeats, as if committing it to memory. "okay, now you can go."

and with that, the two of you parted, going back home to two very different lives.

edit: part two is up now. thank you for reading!!

FRIENDSHIPS OUTSIDE SM

Although it is a bit difficult for Sohee to make friends outside of NCT and SM, she has managed to create good friendships - especially with idols her age.

—SEVENTEEN's DINO, VERNON AND SEUNGKWAN

Sohee met Dino first in 2018, the two of them being 99 line. They met at ISAC and he became interested in talking to her because he had never, never, never seen her interact with anyone other than her members or someone from the same company. Over time they became good friends and after a few months he introduced her to Vernon and Seungkwan.

There are many interactions when 127 and Seventeen are in the same room; little greetings or laughs. Sadly for Caratzen, there are no selcas of them, yet. So, fans of that friendship have to survive on poor quality videos posted by other fans.

Please post a selca!

—BLACKPINK's ROSÉ

They debuted in the same year and they are both from Australia, it was obvious that after some time they would become close. In fact, Sohee is very friendly with the rest of Blackpink, but there is more communication with Rosé.

Every time they see each other they take a selca, so fans of that friendship are well fed.

—ITZY's LIA

They met a few months ago, but it's long enough to say that Sohee has already adopted her. She thinks that Lia is the cutest person in the universe and is willing to die for her. Lia is also a huge fan of hers, so she is delighted with their friendship.

The first day they met, they took a lot of selcas. But fans haven't seen them yet.

—THE BOYZ's HAKNYEON AND JUYEON

Funny story, she was on Internet looking for other 99line idols — because she wanted friends her age! So when she saw Haknyeon's name and that he was from The Boyz, she decided that she would speak to him when she got the chance.

When she approached him she was a bit shy because all of his members were there, but in the end she managed to get his number. Months later he introduced her to Juyeon, and they became close as well.

Only a few fans know about this friendship because there are not many interactions.

—OH MY GIRL's ARIN

She met her at Music Bank, and when they both found out they were the same age they exchanged phone numbers.

There are cute interactions where while Arin is doing her job as an MC, Sohee is laughing at everything she says.

—TWICE's TZUYU, CHAEYOUNG AND DAHYUN

Everyone, and I mean everyone, loves this friendship. They are always supporting each other, there are many selcas, singing their songs at the top of their lungs, beautiful reactions. They are the only reason why, sometimes, there are no fights between these two fandoms.

Dahyun was the first one to appear in Sohee's insta stories.

(Yes, Chaeyoung is jealous).

—JESSI

Sohee likes Jessi because she's real, never pretends and always says what she thinks or feels. And she wants to have around that kind of person. Jessi is like a cool older sister that always puts you down to earth. Whenever Sohee feels insecure or some "fans" say nasty things about her, Jessi is there for her and is like "fck them!"

Not many Nctzen like this friendship, but honestly Sohee doesn't care.

matters of the head and heart│visualizer (pt. 2/2)

i wrote a skz fic titled matters of the head and heart (featuring stray kids’s felix, han, and seungmin [very minor appearance]; itzy’s ryujin, lia [very minor appearance], and yuna [very minor appearance]) about a year ago, and since i’m writing another historical au set in the same time period (early 1850s london) and since i'm not currently in the mood to write, here are most, if not all, of the clothes and accessories i used as references for matters alongside the lines of description in the fic and some reasoning, in order of appearance.

part 1 since there’s an image limit

there’s no need to read the fic to understand what i'm talking about since it’s mostly fashion, but there are some plot lines integrated into the quotes, so spoilers ahead.

also, all links below lead to museum collections or historical fashion blogs if you’re interested in the piece.

Felix describes it to him, detailing the waving tentacles he has envisioned and the way they could be coiled into Miss Shin’s hair if she wished.

...

With more cheer than before, Felix shows Miss Shin the progress he has made on her headdress so far: tentacles that trail down the back, moving pieces that make it appear the arms are waving, and glowing phosphorus eyes.

this headdress is from mid-19th century america. the loops are made of chenille, and they really convey how i wanted the octopus tentacles of ryujin’s headdress to look. they would be made of metal however and be able to move. as for the octopus head, i imagined it perched on top of her head like the one in the second image, minus the veil.

.

Then his eyes travel downward to the ribbon choker around your throat and to your shoulders. He quickly averts his eyes to the evening gown you wear — sage green with an understated floral pattern, which perfectly matches your headdress. The fan in your hand is closed shut, the golden handle appearing bronze under the lights.

...

Your dress is reminiscent of what you wore at Miss Shin’s debut: a green evening gown dotted with tiny pink blossoms, and gold trim around the shoulders that complements the gilded butterflies that swarm around your head.

i really love this dress, so much so that i based both of y/n’s evening dresses on it in the story. it’s pretty much what i envisioned. it’s french, but most female fashions were from paris anyway, and it’s just so pretty. however, the fan is american and from 1886, but it matches the dress and conveys the idea well enough.

.

you draw a cluster of butterflies on the side of the headdress and small flowers to fill in the gaps.

the first image contains two items: item a is the actual headdress, and item b is a matching bouquet. the bouquet isn’t important to the outfit, but it’s pretty nonetheless. the color scheme of the headdress is perfect. both items are from mid-19th century france. the butterflies would be the focal point of the headdress. it’s obviously not from the 1850s, but that’s the amount of detail i want the butterflies to have.

.

Felix is frantically soldering the minute hand onto one of the many tiny clocks on this hat.

because the “hat” is for lia, it would probably be more fitting if it were a bonnet instead. however, i couldn’t resist paying homage to the typical hats associated with steampunk. lia ordering a hat could be explained by ryujin’s influence, but i think a bunch of tiny clocks instead of flowers on the bonnet would like cool too. how this would be done in practice, i have no clue, but to be honest, all of my proposed reimagines seem impractical.

.

anyway, back to trying to write.

[leejungchans]

juliet’s notable relationships outside ateez.

(a/n: i’m aware most of these idols are already done by other writers for their ateez ocs. i just tried to find idols that fit juliet’s background/timeline the best, so absolutely no ill intent has gone into this in regards to other creators’ work! i tried my best to keep this list as original as i can while still making it somewhat believable :( sorry i’ve been a bit ia :( i have a lot of assignments due lately so i’m not able to write a lot. i hope you are having a good day, take care!!💗)

#RYUJIN (ITZY);

best friends!!!!! they were on mixnine together, though they weren’t on the same team until the final stages of the show, but since then they became inseparable; juliet struggled a lot mentally after the end of mixnine and ryujin was her rock through it; juliet is the biggest midzy ever and she knows all of itzy’s choreographies; they hang out a lot whenever they have free time, even if it’s just to have a meal or go shopping together; juliet is also close with the other itzy members

#SOMI (SOLOIST);

best friends pt.2!!! juliet admired somi ever since seeing her on sixteen, and then on produce101; they were in the same department when they studied at hanlim arts school and graduated in the same year, so they easily became best friends; they speak to each other in english a lot because sometimes it comes more naturally to them

#HEEJIN (LOONA);

best friends pt.3!!! juliet and heejin also met when they were on mixnine; she thinks heejin is so, so talented and she is definitely the biggest orbit!!! they don’t see each other very often because their schedules rarely overlap, but they hang out as much as they can!!!

#CHAN (STRAY KIDS);

even though juliet jokes about being the kpop aussie line’s leader, if she had to choose, she would without a doubt pick chan because of his leadership skills and kindness; she met him through felix bc “lee felix u can’t just not introduce me to chan we need to get the aussie line tgt!!!”; she looks up to chan so much and they frequently text/call each other just to catch up, chat and exchange memes/twitter moments

#FELIX (STRAY KIDS);

juliet and felix go way back because they went to the same school in australia; even though he was in the year above her, they still hung out a lot which is why they have a lot of embarrassing stories of each other when they were in school!! they are the biggest living memes and are practically siblings, he means a lot to juliet because he’s like a piece of home to her; they definitely have a special handshake that they use when they see each other; she was honestly so happy for him when he debuted with the others, and to call her the biggest stay is an understatement! she became friends with the other stray kids members through felix

#SOOBIN (TXT);

juliet met soobin through yeonjun, who she met through his friendship with wooyoung; they don’t talk a lot but she thinks he’s really funny and relatable!!! txteez interactions are always super cute to watch!!!!

#JOHNNY, MARK, HAECHAN, JAEMIN (NCT);

juliet met a lot of the nct members when she was a trainee at sm, but these four are arguably the ones she’s closest to!! the former two because they were also foreigners, so they joked around and had a lot of chats in english; and the latter two because the three of them are really close in age and are basically siblings that annoy each other ajhsjas

#YERI (RED VELVET);

yeri is also someone juliet met back at sm and is still one of her closest friends and confidants!! they stayed close even after yeri debuted in red velvet and juliet left sm; juliet is a huge fan of red velvet and practically knows all their choreographies too!! their schedules don’t really overlap these days but they call/text a lot and meet up when they can!!

#KEVIN (THE BOYZ);

juliet only met kevin recently backstage at one of the events ateez and the boyz performed at; but she’s been a big fan of the boyz and has always really wanted to befriend him because of all the compilations she’s seen of him being iconic on twitter; so they’re not super close, but when they are they’re probably going to be the funniest friendship duo in kpop!!

#ONEUS;

juliet and the rest of ateez became friends with oneus after their joint appearance on weekly idol!! she doesn’t have a lot of interactions with them but she definitely enjoys their music and supports them lots!!

#OTHERS;

she’s also close with those who trained under sm around the same time she was, even if they’re now in other groups or no longer in the industry!!

TAEHEE’S 100 QUESTIONS AND 100 ANSWERS

“hello, everyone! this is taehee and i’m about to do 100 questions and 100 answers!”

“ah! i’m aware that taeyeon unnie did this but,” taehee chuckles nervously, “i haven’t watched it so this is really a new thing for me.” she dramatically gasps in front of the camera, bringing a hand to her forehead as if she were an actress in theater.

taehee snorts when she realizes what she had just did, leaning forward to conceal her embarrassed giggles. she hears the staff laughing along with her, and she looks up, making eye contact with every one of them. “i really don’t know why i did that,” she straightens herself up before pressing the back of her hands to her cheeks feeling how warm they got from seconds ago. “i have absolutely no idea what came over me. i’m so sorry.”

“100 questions seem like a lot though,” she tilts her head to the side, sucking in air through her teeth as she squints at the computer screen. “i might end up talking a lot- i won’t bore you, will i?” taehee looks up at the staff again, her bottom lip unconsciously jutting into a subtle pout.

her face breaks into a grin as the production crew all answer ‘no’ at the same time. they absolutely adored her. “woah, i really like your reactions,” taehee giggles, “okay, let’s start!”

Q6. BLOOD TYPE

“blood type? my blood type is o.”

a small chuckle escapes the girl, “do you guys want to know something funny?” her right hand goes to fumble with the watch on her left, it was the one her mum gave her. “my dad loved to play around, and so when i was younger, i thought my blood type was z.”

you’d hear the staff burst into laughter before taehee did, bringing a hand to cover her loud ones. “seriously! i think it was in fifth grade where i knew that wasn’t real,” she reasons out, hands making vague movements in the air as she spoke. titters were still heard behind the camera, causing taehee to shake her head at them, arms stretching out to resume typing.

“i remember my dentist laughing at me.”

Q9. HAPPIEST MOMENT OF THE DAY

taehee beams, “when we have the day off, it’s usually mark that would wake up first. he’d wake me, then jungwoo hyung, then the rest will just follow and we’d all have breakfast.” 

“and even if we don’t like talk or anything, the mood’s like really calming and comforting,” she adds. “i mean that’s how i feel. so the happiest moment of my day is having breakfast with the members.” 

Q10. HOBBY

“being sexy,” taehee purses her lips and shifts her gaze towards the staff wearing amused smiles on their faces, some were trying to hide their chuckles at the girl’s openness. “why?” taehee asks in an accusing tone, brows furrowing together as she looks at them incredulously. she gasps, “you don’t think so?”

“okay, fine,” she shrugs, “being pretty.”

Q11. THING YOU’RE MOST UNSATISFIED ABOUT RIGHT NOW

taehee pouts, “not seeing czennies, of course! i miss seeing them already.”

Q15. IDEAL TYPE

all the confidence from minutes ago seem to disappear the moment she reads the next question, a shy giggle sounding from taehee. “why does it suddenly feel like i’m on a dating site,” she tilts her head to the side, running a hand through her hair before typing.

“tall,” she laughs. “is that enough or should i add more?” one of the people behind the camera shout a very enthusiastic, “one more!,” causing taehee to smile brightly at them. “i really like your guys’ reaction!” she tells them, “my members should be like you more.”

“okay, they have to like the food i like, right? then... someone who likes pizza.”

Q19. MALE CELEBRITIES YOU FIND HANDSOME

“male celebrities you find handsome- OH!,” taehee claps her hands in front of her, making jazz hands in the air in excitement for a bit before typing. 

“nam joohyuk, lee dongwook, park bogum,” a playful smirk spreads onto taehee’s lips, her shoulders bouncing as she types.

her eyes widen and she looks up, “they’re all single, right?”

her remark makes the production crew laugh once more, and a grin takes place on the girl’s face. “people might take it the wrong way! i’m just asking,” she brushes it off slyly, adding, “they’re all very handsome men.”

Q20. FEMALE CELEBRITIES YOU FIND PRETTY

“oh but there’s a lot though...” taehee seems to think for a moment before slowly moving her fingers across the keyboard. “emma watson.... my friend, lee naeun.... aespa’s winter....” she mumbles. “ah blackpink’s jennie unnie, she’s sexy,” and she finishes off with, “etc.”

she chuckles as she meets eyes with the staff. pumping her fist in the air, she cheers, “yes, i am very satisfied with my answers.”

“next question!”

Q21. ITEM YOU TREASURE

“i consider myself quite sentimental, so,” she types, “anything that my love ones give me.”

she raises her left wrist, twisting it to show off the vintage watch that she wore almost everyday, “i’ll be honest. i don’t like wearing watches, but my mum gave this to me like eight years ago? it reminds me of her so i wear it everyday.”

“and then this one,” she then tugs on the bracelet hiding beneath the watch, rolling the thread between her fingers, before letting it go. “this one was given to me by jaemin last year... around new years? i think.”

"the members give me stuff like these for gifts. i have a lot more at home,” she beams, “they’re in this little box on our dresser.”

Q31. ALCOHOL TOLERANCE

“i haven’t tested it but i know i can drink more than one bottle of soju,” taehee stops a smile from showing itself by biting her lip, prompting the producer to ask, “are you just saying that-”

“NO!,” she quickly protests. “i can definitely drink more than one. right? right, of course.” the production crew chuckled as she talked to herself, taehee’s dimples peeking out from the corners of her smile as she types, “more than one... for sure,” on the questionnaire. 

Q41. MEMORABLE MEMORY

“ohhh,” taehee hums. “we had this like, variety show. during the last episode, all 23 members were there and we were having fun even if we were just like eating and talking with each other. compared to the previous ones, we were all doing these fun activities and like an escape room? but i found the last one the most memorable to me.”

“at that time, i really felt like i was at home.” a small smile graces taehee’s features as she nods, “wasn’t that too cheesy? it’s sincere though.”

her eyes seem to scan the computer screen and she releases a short laugh, saying, “all my ‘happy’ answers have food in them. a way to a woman’s heart is through the stomach, truly.”

Q44. FAVORITE DANCE

“malhaebwa da eoseo da 'cause i'm not shy,” taehee dances in her seat, delivering a charming wink to the camera in the end.

“actually, all of itzy’s choreography is really nice. they’re so cool.”

“OH WAIT!!! chungha sunbaenim’s choreography is so beautiful too,” taehee gushes. “have you guys seen her choreography for ‘play’? watching it feels like a piece of art. she and the dancers pull them off so well!”

she then mumbles, “i was learning the choreography to ‘dream of you’ sometime after it came out. i’m a really big fan of her.” 

Q45. SONG YOU LISTEN TO MOST RECENTLY

“i’ve been listening to taylor swift’s old songs a lot recently, i can’t pick one of them,” taehee says. “i think she released a new song this month but i haven’t listened to it.”

“december’s the month where i always find myself drifting back to her,” she sighs dreamily, propping her chin on her right hand and looking at the camera with glazed eyes. “i really love taylor swift, i’ve been her fan even before debuting.”

Q46. WHAT DO YOU LOOK AT FIRST IN THE OPPOSITE SEX

“their eyes,” answered taehee, “a person’s eyes could tell a lot about the person, in my perspective. there’s like this feeling that you get when you look at them.”

“what’s the feeling that you get when you look at your members’ eyes?”

the girl snorts, tucking the loose strands of her hair behind her ear. “what i feel? i feel like they’re saying, ‘oh noona, you’re so cool. treat us to food some time.’”

taehee tsks, “haechan’s and jisung’s eyes speak the loudest.” 

Q49. WHEN BETRAYED BY THE ONE YOU LOVE 

“ohhhhh, this is interesting.” taehee smiles as she glances to the ceiling above them, thinking. “what would i do?”

tilting her head at the camera, she finally answers, “i’d let them go.”

“if they’re really sorry, then maybe i’d still let them in my life, but i don’t think i’d trust them the same way ever again,” she shook her head slightly, her serious tone was enough to send shivers down the spine of whoever had heard her. 

Q50. WHAT YOU WISH TO GIVE TO THE ONE YOU LOVE

“mmm, trust? i want to let them know that i trust them.”

taehee cards her fingers through her hair, sighing. “trust doesn’t like, only come into play to see where a person’s loyalties lie, but it can also be like, ‘do you trust me enough to confide in me? do you trust me enough to let me help you?’ i want to be able to give that kind of trust to the people i love.”

Q55. WHEN CHUBS IS THE CUTEST

taehee squeals, “i love this question!”

“chubs stays in our dorm sometimes, before she doesn’t get to spend that much time with us but now she can. so when i’m not in the dorms, mark and jungwoo hyung just watch her because she’s like really energetic and if you leave her alone, you just won’t know what she can do,” she laughs. “and then i come home and i’m really tired so i just jump in bed and lay down for a few moments, but chubs wants to play with me so she does whatever she can do to get me to sit up and play with her.”

“and then when she notices that i’m tired or something, she’s gonna stop and lay down near me or on my stomach, sometimes she’d pat me. i don’t know where she learned that but she does that,” she chuckles, and her voice tones down a pitch softer, eyes gazing off to the side as she toys with her necklace, “that’s when chubs is the cutest.” 

“i said too much, didn’t i?” taehee scrunches her nose at the camera, “i really love my dog.”

Q66. ARTIST YOU WANT TO HAVE A COLLABORATION WITH

“i don’t know if this can be considered but maybe something with ten hyung and taemin hyung,” she laughs. “like an sm station with the three of us, i think that’d be nice.”

Q80. MOST MEMORABLE BIRTHDAY PRESENT 

“honestly, it would be chubs,” a wide smile makes its way onto the girl’s face as she nods. “haechan was the one who gave her to me, so it’s technically ours, i guess.” 

“that’s when i felt my love for him overflow,” taehee proceeds to make gagging noises, disappearing under the table as if she were vomiting, only coming back up to jokingly ask for water. “let’s hope he doesn’t watch this.”

Q84. INTRODUCE YOUR PHONE CASE

“introduce your phone case, okay!”

taehee picks her phone up from the table and shows its back to the camera. it was a clear case patterned with cute drawings of different kinds of dinosaurs in shades of green and blue. 

“it’s a dinosaur phone case. we had a video call fansign event a few months back, and one of my fans told me they call themselves dinozens,” she explains, chuckling, “but i guess jaemin knew that before me because he got this even earlier than that.”

she pointed to the picture that was stuck inside, adding, “this is the picture we took for the concert tickets. i kept some, see?”

Q85. IF YOU HAD TO CHOOSE BETWEEN LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP 

“friendship, of course!” taehee types. 

“if the person i dated ever hurt me,” she winces, twitching her head to the side before nodding, “let’s just say it won’t end well if they’re going to deal with yuta oppa after dealing with me.” 

Q86. IF THE EARTH DESTRUCTS TOMORROW 

taehee answers before typing, fingers tapping rhythmically on the table as she props her chin on her other hand, “i’d want to go home, then surf with my dad and my mom would watch us from the shore. she tried surfing but she doesn’t like it.”

“then i’d hangout with the members, eat miso soup, play with chubs,” she lists off, “tell the person i like that i love them.” the other people that were there with her bursts into laughter once again, taehee’s body shook with every one she tried to hold as she scrolls upwards, scanning the previous questions. “nam joohyuk, lee dongwook, park bogum,” she calls, her eyes playfully squinting towards the camera, “i love you.” 

Q95. WHAT I’D BECOME 20 YEARS LATER

“twenty years later? i’d be forty-two! woah,” taehee mumbles, “forty-two...”

“i’d still like to sing,” she nods. “i’m not sure if i could still dance by that time, i’ll try,” a giggle slips past her lips until she gasps, snapping her fingers, “i want a house!”

the crew laughs once again, this time at her innocence. “i’d have a house, then a car, and then there would be this space where chubs could play in. that’d be so nice.”

Q100. TODAY’S TMI

“we’re at the last question!” taehee cheers. she stands up and rolls her shoulders, smiling to the staff behind the camera as she stretches for a bit.

the girl goes back to her seat and hovers her fingers above the keyboard. “today’s tmi,” she reads, before sending a sweet smile towards the camera, “ah i woke up earlier than i usually do, so i went first and made 김치 볶음밥, with eggs, and then mark woke up and helped me, then we woke jungwoo hyung up.”

“yes, that’s how we had breakfast this morning.”

“so we finished answering 100 questions! YAYYY!” taehee cheers, her dimples poking out from the sides of her face. “i had so much fun answering this. it’d most definitely change the next time i do something similar but for now, these are my answers.”

she tucks her hair behind her ear and clasps her hands together, the bracelet on her wrist making its appearance again, “i think it’d be nice if the other members do this too; see how crazy we are,” she mumbles the last bit of her sentence, intentionally wanting that part to be heard. she raises her eyebrows cheekily and pursed her lips, shrugging. “i’m very sure i wrote nothing i would regret in the future so,” she raises both of her hands before her, waving them cutely, “this was 100 questions and 100 answers with me! bye bye!”
