So I was looking through your art tag just to vibe cuz your work is fab and I came across the awesome Sabo Cauterizing His Own Wounds piece post Reverie and ended up thinking about how it's a common theme in One Piece that scars will hurt when the one who caused them is fucking around or getting up to no good.
And now all I can see in my minds eye is Sabo clutching at the scar on his stomach and clinging to the wall or the back of a chair because he had to treat the injury himself so it probably healed weird first of all, and second the five elders and Im are definitely up to no good.
Sabo knowing that one of them is nearby because he can feel it in the scar tissue that tears through his insides.
Also cuz I'm soft, imagine Sabo clutching his stomach over the scar mid hanging out with Ace so Ace gets to comfort him and hold him and I get to roll around squealing cuz they are so tender.
Awowu thank you anon !!! The post reverie cauterisation piece is a sleeper piece that got way more attention than I thought it would get and im really grateful people are enjoying it as much as me
I wish i had the guts to finish it as a full coloured piece but idk sketch form feels very raw too and i think if i ever revisit the idea itll be another moment, like i love how you mentioned the scars hurting theme in OP thats 👌🏽
Im on the move and Sabo just fucking feels that in his insides, missteps for a moment goes all pale and sweaty thats soooooo good
Like… what if another Lulusia? Can you imagine the blinding white pain Sabo felt then as he watched an entire island get “vaporised”? I love that panel i want to explore that Sabo expression more irs delightful Oda pls i demand more !!
But you have me thinking about Sabo weak from bloodloss freshly weeping burns painted across his stomach, its distressing perhaps that he doesnt feel that sort of pain anymore, maybe its because hes been burned before, maybe its because he’s the one who did it this time— watching as lulusia is wiped off the face of the grand line and his gut that puncture wound he sealed is fucking burning, lightheaded he just manages to catch himself against the ledge of the small skiff boat theyre fleeing in and just vomits blood and bile and ghskfbrn
Man…
And you also mention Ace lives too and wwwww yeah Ace who also has a . Ahem puncture scar to flaunt get it, he understands and im always very excited to see them hurt comfort together as long as its happy ending bc ill cry if it isnt!!!
Thank you for the super sweet ask anon

The Story Of Camila and Jane.
This little tale of romance was once again created based on chats by me and my friend @ordinaryschmuck. Warning: This post has some suggestive material. If this makes you uncomfortable, please avoid it.
The story begins just a little while post-canon around the time of Eda and Raine's wedding. Camila, having somewhat befriended Eda and wanting to support her and Raine, went along with her to her Bachelorette party at a local tavern.
After one a night filled with excitement and one too many apple bloods, Camila woke up in a bed in the taverns inn. She was bleary eyed and had a massive painful headache. She rubbed her eyes, sat up, then looked down and realized she was naked.
Camila: AAAAH!
Next to her a figure stirred. From under the covers came a large bipedal demon woman with four arms, four orange eyes, red spiky skin, and mid length silver hair.
Woman: Ugh, wah? What's going on?
Camila: AAAH!
Woman: AAAAH!
Camila: AAAH!
Woman: Why are we screaming!
Camila: Because...I don't know! Wait, who are you?
Woman: I'm Jane. Jane Atlas? We met at the tavern last night. *she notices Camila's confusion* You don't remember do you?
Camila: No!
Jane: Well, that doesn't surprise me. You were pretty drunk. I mean, I was drunk too but you were really drunk.
Camila: The tavern...right, the Bachelorette party. Wait, where's Eda?
Jane: If you mean that woman with the big silver hair, she just came by while we were kissing and told you to "have fun".
Camila: We were kissing?!
Jane: Really? We woke up in bed together and that shocks you?
Camila: It's just, I haven't kissed anyone since- that's not important right now! Why didn't Eda stop me?
Jane: She seemed too busy taking pictures
Camila: She took pictures!?!?
Camila groaned.
Camila: I'm never going to live this down.
Jane: I'm-im sorry.
Camila: No, it's not your fault I just-Wait what time is it?!
Jane checks her scroll and her eyes widen.
Jane: 9:45.
Camila: Mierda! I'm late to getting ready for the wedding!
Jane: Oh man, so am I!
Camila: Wait, you're going to a wedding too?
Jane: Yeah, one of my friends is a friend of this person called Raine Whispers, who's getting married. They invited me to come along as a plus one
Camila: ...Oh. I think we might be going to the same place.
Jane: Then, maybe I could give you a ride there on my staff.
Camila: That's very nice of you but I think want to just go and forget this night ever happend.
Later, at the reception after the wedding, Camila spotted Jane across the dance floor. When Jane noticed her, she came over to talk.
Jane: Hi.
Camila: HI.
Jane: So...pretty fun wedding. How do you know the bride?
Camila: My daughter ran away to the demon realm and wanted to learn magic so she ended up becominng her magic teacher and surrogate other mother.
Jane: Wow. That sounds pretty complicated.
Camila: You have no idea.
Jane:...So, about last night. I had a really nice time.
Camila: I'm sure it was...good, but I really don't want to talk about that.
Jane: Oh no, not just THAT! I mean, that was pretty amazing too, er, but no I mean before that we-we talked about a lot of stuff and you seemed pretty nice and well, I know this was all probably pretty embarrassing for you so I was wondering if, maybe, to make it up to you...I could take you out to dinner.
Camila: What?
Jane: I mean, not like a- it doesn't have to be a date. Just a nice meal. With us. Together.
Camila: I...I'll think on it.
Jane: Oh...Ok...Can I give you my number, or...
Camila: Um, sure.
Camila talked to Eda, since she was one of her few adult friends who understood the demon realm.
Eda: I say go for it. She seemed nice enough, not to mention being smoking.
Camila: I can't.
Eda: Why not? What? Was she bad in bed?
Camila: No! Yes! I don't remember! That's not the problem!
Eda: Then what is?
Camila: I-I-...I haven't been on a date in a really long time.
Eda: Oh boy. Let me guess: Papa Noceda was the last person you've been with?
Camla: It's mostly for Luz's sake. Losing her father hurt her so much. And If I started dating again...I don't know what she'd think.
Eda: Then ask her.
So Camila went to Luz and told her about getting asked out by Jane. She was surprised to find that Luz was super supportive.
Luz: Mom, go for it! It'd be great to see you with someone who cares about you.
Camila: And you'd really be okay with that?
Luz: I'm always going to miss dad, but I also just want you to be happy. If this woman can do that, then I'll be okay.
Camila hugs her.
Camila: Thank you Mija.
So, Camila decided to go to dinner with Jane. Luz and Vee pulled out all the stops to help their mom. They picked out a nice outfit (a simple green, sleeveless dress) and made sure she was well ready by the time Jane came to pick her up from the Owl House.
The date went well. While a little awkward at first, the two quickly came alive around each other. Camila talked about her kids and her home back in the human world and Jane talked about her own past, her interest in sculpting, and her job being a builder using her construction magic.
Then the conversation turned to dating history.
Camila: This has been a lot of fun. I haven't enjoyed a date tgis much since...actually, I haven't been on a date in years.
Jane: Why not?
Camila:....My-my husband died a few years ago. And after he did, I didn't date for years. Part of it was because I still missed him but also because after he died, I had to work hard to provide for my daughter. And since I spent so long at work, anytime I was home, I tried to spend it with her.
Jane takes Camila'a hand in hers.
Jane: I'm so sorry.
Camila sniffles.
Camila: It's okay.
Jane: If it's any consolation, I haven't been on a date in a long time either. Most guys or girls were too intimidated to talk to me. And my last boyfriend....well, he broke things off pretty hard. He just didn't like me being so-well, this *she gestures with one hand down at her body* I was too big. Too scary. Too...too much for him to deal with I guess.
Camila: ...Well, that's his loss then.
Jane: (Smiles) Thanks.
The date ends with Jane dropping Camila off at the Owl House.
Jane: I guess this is it.
Camila: I guess so.
Jane: Well... I'll see you next time. Er, unless you don't want there to be a next time.
Camila: Actually, I think I'd like that.
The two stood there for a moment, looking away from each other and blushing before Camila decided to channel some of her own brand of Noceda impulsiveness and pulled Jane down into a deep kiss.
And that's the story of how Camila got a girlfriend.

,,,,OK Kurat
Soulmate!Bokuto
Tumblr media
a/n: when bokuto refuses to fix his roots and let the gray dye grow out and it slightly irritates you
Tumblr media
colorblind soulmate where you lose your colors and only gain them back when your other half starts to have feelings for you
Tumblr media
requests are open!!
Tumblr media
so, leggo?
ever since you turned 16, you’ve literally gone colorblind
like you were perfectly happy seeing the colors of the world
from daichi’s red sweater
to hinata’s orange hair
you were ROBBED of the colors of the world
when you woke up that morning, you knew you would get your soulmate sign soon and you were sure it would happen while you were in class as it would start the exact time you were born 16 years ago
so there you were, happily eating with nishi and tanaka at the roof
‘hey, y/n-chan, look at this manga i found!’
you look up at noya and you almost choked on your rice ball when you couldn’t see his blonde streak anymore
it was like the moment you blinked, it was gone
he must’ve noticed your surprised look because noya touched the front floof since you were staring right at it
tanaka had his mouth opened and patted your back when you coughed
‘ah, it happened now?’
then you just start bawling
‘i cANt sEE yOuR hAiR anYmoRE!! aNd hiNATa’s hAiR! aND tHE oRANgE uniFOrMS!’
they understand it was a touchy subject for you since you were expecting something cute like noya’s thought sharing sign or tanaka’s taste sharing sign
but NO!!!
‘it’s okay y/n-chan. you’ll meet them soon and you’ll get your colors back’
from then on, all you’ve done is research all you can about soulmate signs and how they worked
yours happens to be a rarer one and you groaned bc of course it would happen to YOU
it states that usually, the moment you lock eyes with your soulmate, you’d get your lost sense back
but you wouldnt know when it would exactly happen and be like your uncle who is nearly 40 and still cant smell anything
whats worse, there were even cases where you wouldnt get them back in one sight but gain them when they start to have romantic feelings for you
you really do hope you’d get the easier 
being a part-time manager, you often helped the vbc if you were free from your other clubs so you sometimes help kiyoko with the kids
entering the gym, you frowned when you saw hinata and the gray tone of his hair
everything was gray but colors that are light like yellow or bright orange, were lighter gray while darker ones were dark gray or black
seems like tanaka and noya told the team what happened because daichi went up to you and ruffled your hair before saying it’ll be okay
‘give it time! you will find them!’
yacchi, a manager-in-training, enthusiastically told you about her ideas for the poster and gave you her rough draft, explaining the little details
but you were out of it as you just roamed your eyes over the gray-colored paper
thus causing her to freak out
‘OH MY GOD! I”M SO SORRY Y/N-SAN! I FORGOT ABOUT IT!! I’M SO SORRY!’
(yacchi is just a little precious bun, please protec her :’))
but you ruffled her hair and put on a smile
‘don’t sweat it, yacchi’
after that whole thing about announcement of the tokyo training camp and the hinata/kageyama idiot squad
you guys were in the bus, getting ready for Tokyo
it’s also been weeks since you lost it so you were still new but you were starting to get used to it
ofc you still had mistakes like their different colored practice jerseys and who was in what team or wearing different colored socks
but you were slowly adapting
it was a few hours of a drive so everyone was static to get out of the cramp bus and use the bathroom and stretch their legs
you took your time and put the others trash into a plastic bag bc youre just a great manager like that
getting out of the bus, you heard a horrendous and terrifying laugh and saw the nekoma captain hunching over in laughter
‘my god. at least his face makes up for it’
you got a text from hinata and kageyama saying that they were going to take their exams now and you sent them a little encouraging blurb
the guy from nekoma with the mohawk gawked at the 3 managers and you remembered him having that blonde hair dye
when you and the rest entered their gym, all you saw were balls flying everywhere and lots of people
your eyes scanned for at least someone to make eye contact with you because this gym has a lot of people in it and there could be a possibility they were in here
like 0.000003% probably but still a chance
from the managers to the players, not one reactivated the colors
‘hm,,, i think my soulmate is in here’
noya’s little comment made you glare at him in envy and he grinned with a peace sign
you noticed that boy kenma with his haircut and there was someone sitting near him that made you turn to the others
‘okay, either i just have terrible memory but is that a new guy?’
suga wondered the same thing and you flinched at the kid’s harsh stare at you all
there was a light gray tone to his hair and eyes so you were curious what color they were
‘his legs look a little long. i think he’s taller than most of these guys’
asahi said which made you give him a look
‘listen, as long as we got tsukki-kun, we’re okay’
the first match was against some powerhouse called fukurodani and they had a few interesting players
by interesting, you meant looks wise
that one guy looked freaking pretty with his sharp eyes while the other guy, who you assumed to be the captain, had round eyes and spiked hair
you were pretty sure that he had different colored hair due to the mix of black and light tones
AND THE WAY IT WAS STYLED THO
its like he got electrocuted and his hair just stayed the same
you were too busy looking at the 2 teams that you completely missed karasuno’s defeat and just saw them doing flying receives
the others gathered to the side and the next game was against fukurodani and nekoma
from hearing the names being said, that pretty guy was akashi or aggghasshi and the owl looking dude was bokuto-san or bokutosang or something bokuto bc youre not exactly sure
and then he be flying
‘he REALLY flying!’ 
you exclaim and tbh what can you expect from being one of the top 5 aces in the country
then the ball straight flew towards your own player and you and yamagucci screamed for his name
everyone flinched when the ball hit his hand and you ran over to check
‘ouch’
you hear that loud voice of his on top of kei’s hiss and you growled
‘HEY HEY HEY’
he didnt even apologize and if it wasnt for tanaka and daichi holding you back, you were about to scream into the guys ear for damaging your player’s hand since he needed it to block properly
‘LET ME GO! WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS INJUR-’
suga smiled and raised a hand apologetically your shouts caught the attention of others
the more games karasuno played, the more they lost
you went to fill up their water bottles and was mumbling to yourself, blaming that freak haired guy for tsukki’s pained blocks
‘didnt even apologize. how dare he hurt my boy’
bokuto was going for a drink when he heard your mumbles by the water fountain
he noticed you as the karasuno manager and poked you in the shoulder
‘ah! youre the manager!’
cue you looking to glare at him since you could recognize that voice anywhere
‘and you are?’
taken aback with your tone, he grinned
‘bokuto. bokuto koutarou’
‘ah’
then you went back to filling up the bottles
he fiddled with his towel before poking you again
‘um,,, i want to apologize for earlier. sorry about that spike’
you stopped and you nodded
‘i appreciate the apology, bokuto-san. but you should say it to him’
bo guessed that you were kinda their mother hen and you looked after the players of your team
‘are you,,, a third year?’
closing the lid of the last bottle, you placed it on the basket
‘second’
his eyes widened before shouting
‘im your senpai!’
you jumped at the sudden volume of his voice and awkwardly smiled
‘ah. okay, bokuto-san’
his eyes widened before patting your shoulder gently
‘drop the -san! i prefer being called senpai!’
does this guy have a senpai kink or something
but there was probably nothing wrong with calling him senpai right?
‘okay, bokuto-senpai’
you were lowkey kinda iffy since you dont really call anyone senpai, everyone was -san to you
bo laughed loudly and ruffled your hair
‘WAH!!!!!! MY LITTLE KOUHAI!!!��
‘bokuto-san!’
your head looked up and you saw the pretty guy walking towards you
he bowed in front of you in both greeting and apology
‘sorry about him. he gets a little excited sometimes. im akaashi keiji by the way’
you waved it off and smiled gently
‘nice to meet you, akaashi-san. and dont worry, i have two people like him in my team’
hinata and noya
‘come on. the next game is about to start’
he tugged bokuto’s arm and bo waved at you before walking away
‘see ya!’
but stopped
‘ah! i didnt get your name!’
‘y/n. l/n y/n’
‘see ya later y/n!’
when you came back, the boys were still doing flying and you glanced at your watch, knowing that your boys should be coming soon
you and yacchi were visibly listening to the other players talking about your team and kiyoko gave you both a look to settle down
‘hold it in, girls’
the sea of different tones of gray were currently making you dizzy with so many things happening at ones and you completely missed the door opening, revealing tanaka’s sister
noya’s excited shout made you turn and you waved excitedly
you’ve met her once when you went over to help tutor her poor brother and noya who practically lives at their house
everyone stopped what they were doing and saw the two boys huffing by the door
you heard kuroo’s comment but you were too excited to see them come back in one piece
‘ah, so those are the legendary first years’
hm, if only you knew why they were late
bo saw you with wide eyes and excitedly bouncing at the sidelines as karasuno started to play
‘what are you looking at bokuto-san?’
akaashi asked
bo thought you were interesting the moment he heard you angrily mumble about him and he thought your pouting face was cute
‘i wonder what her soulmate mark is’
akaashi knew about his soulmate sign since he received a very frantic phone call that sunday afternoon of bokuto not being able to see the color of his apple anymore
‘she probably doesnt have it yet’
akaashi’s answer made his brows furrow
‘she’s a second year so shes probably 16 already’
‘why would it matter to you anyways?’
yea, why did it matter?
‘just general curiosity. shes quite fiesty. i like her. i want to be friends’
akaashi sighs and pats his back
‘i support you, bokuto-san’
shoot this might as well be a bokuaka
he saw you run to the two first years and took their bags for them, ruffling their hair each
even though you’re only like a some months older than hinata, you still treat him like a babie
‘coach left some buns from earlier so you can eat that before you play. oh! i also got you your milk, kags!’
bo literally could feel your happiness radiating and he saw your eyes
too bad he couldn’t see the color of them
although the boys team was finally complete, they still lost quite a lot of sets
and they were trying so hard and you were just cheering on the sidelines w yacchi and kiyoko
you kept running back and forth from the drinking fountain since the boys kept drinking so much water
and bo just finds you there again
for the second time today
:0
‘oh? back again, y/n-chan?’
you could recognized that gruffy voice anywhere
you turned and gave him a tight smile
‘ah. hello bokuto-san’
he pouted and nudged you with a finger to your shoulder
‘senpai! call me senpai!’
you were pretty sure he was 18 yet he still threw a tantrum
what kinda-
‘okay okay. sorry, bokuto-senpai’
then like a switch his pouts became grins and you got dizzy with the sudden mood switch
‘youre such a diligent manager, y/n-chan. you should transfer to our school and be one of ours instead!’
then you remember meeting the 2 managers they had
‘ah, you already have 2 so i think you’re covered’
bo whined at that
‘but karasuno also has 2 without you!’
tbh you shouldve been uncomfortable in this situation bc here you have a grown man whining
but you found his pout endearing and his eyes were loony-looking
‘not to hurt your feelings, bokuto-senpai, but we just met and i don’t know you all that well’
‘then you know the solution to that, don’t you?’
you just stared at him
‘lets get to know each other! lets be friends! lets be close!’
you couldnt say anything else since you were kinda in a pickle here so you just nodded
‘um, okay’
‘bokuto-san!’
that voice made you perk up and you raised a hand
‘akaashi-san!’
bo saw your smile and he pouted, jealous that you didnt give that smile when you saw him
‘ah, l/n-san.’
you looked at bo and his eyes grew even bigger and you resisted the urge to pinch his cheeks with how they puffed out with his pout
woah wait huh
why did you just think of that
akaashi had to bring back bo to the gym for their match but bo refused to walk
‘no! not until y/n-chan wants to be my friend!’
what are you
5?
but you nodded, placing a hand around his bicep
you froze, trying to contain the shock of how S T R O N G they felt
ohmygad
‘l-lets get to know each other later, bokuto-sa-senpai’
you hurriedly corrected yourself and breathed a sigh of relief when he didnt notice
a big smile got to his face and he pointed at you
‘ill win this for you y/n-chan!’
you sweatdropped bc wow this manz is winning a game for you
no-for your friendship
he excitedly ran back down the hallway and disappeared with a faint ‘hey hey hey!’
you and akaashi shared a look and he apologized
‘im sorry if he made you uncomfortable’
‘nah nah, its okay’
‘and thanks for uplifting him. he was in a mood when he left bc we lost a set but now he’s energized thanks to you’
a,,, mood?
‘is he,,, i dont know,,,, bipolar?’
akaashi stood for a second before shrugging
‘i guess you could say that. the team tries to uplift him bc if hes in a mood he messes up’
a sound of recognition left your lips before you nodded
‘ah okay’
‘well, i guess im seeing you later then, l/n-san?’
‘oh, please. call me y/n. we’re the same age!’
but he gave you a mysterious smile
‘i dont think bokuto-san would like that’
so the remaining of the time there, bo was practically stuck to you as he followed you everywhere
babie calls it ‘friendship bonding’
when yall were leaving, he was pouting so hard and you gave in to your urges
;)
you pinched his cheeks
‘until next time, bo-senpai’
blew a fuse right then and there
bO-sENPai
yall remained in contact and you even went up to visit him and just hang out
you were lowkey catching feelings
like when he sent you that mirror picture of him and kuroo being sassy in a department store and your heart started beating really really fast
then your palms started sweating as you remembered the feeling of his warm hands on yours when he led you through the busy sidewalk of tokyo
‘siri, am i having a stroke?’
but you were like ‘nuh-uh, must remain pure for my soulmate’
however
if you have those feelings already and it’s towards your soulmate, that gave bo his sight of colors
just sitting there w his team eating yakisoba bun then he looked at akaashi and saw his friend’s blue eyes again
can you tell im a bokuaka simp
in another life flashbacks
n e ways
he was so happy and ecstatic and was about to call you but akaashi was like, ‘wait, i think she might be your soulmate’
the entire team was just like, ‘what’
and bo just sitting there, ‘omg what if’
akaashi, 
grandmaster plan creator
tells bokuto to hold off from telling you until the next time yall see each other which is in the training camp
for story’s sake, training camp finally rolls around
you cannot stop squirming in your seat bc ya finally get to see bo again after so long
kuroo greets yall at the front and hes familiar w you since you hung out w the tokyo squad
‘you have a surprise little chibi’
you were just like, ‘,,,,ok kurat’
meanwhi;e,,
bo was so antsy and he was just like, ‘yey! i get to see her again!’
ngl, bo thought you were really pretty and cute and he thinks he has a crush on you but not like head-over-heels like you were
literally cannot stand still and the team was tired of having to keep him from running so akaashi just let him go
‘but dont run her over, bokuto-san’
he sonic bolts over
nYOOM
he finally sees that tangerine hinata and was searching for your hair color and when he sees you laughing at kuroo’s face, his eyes widened
his heart beat started beating really really fast and everything in his brain and all the words he wanted to say died down
he never really saw your face with colors but he just stares in awe at your beautiful skin color, breathtaking eyes, silky hair, and those plump lips
sweat started to gather at his palms and his feet started moving on its own until he just scoops you in his arms, lifting you off the ground in the process
w you, there was a silence
‘your eyes,,,,, theyre beautiful’
bo just grins at the crack of your voice and tears just wells up in your eyes w a smile
‘bo!’ 
you shouted and you wrapped your legs around his waist while he burrows his head in your neck
‘you’re so beautiful. oh my god, you’re so beautiful’
omg what i would do for bo to say that to me
obvs, the others knew what was happening
dai and suga were already planning on the talk
kuroo just recording the whole thing
‘im falling in love with you. i want to fall in love with you over and over again until i die. i want to feel like this forever. can i?’
just forgets about everyone and being in your own bubble and your own world as bokuto just professes his love for you
‘stupid question, koutaro!’
you giggled and he finally allowed you to stand on your own two feet
‘let me love you for eternity’
cue waterworks from noya and tanaka and konoha
‘but baby, we need to touch up your roots, though.’
‘we got forever, soulmate’

i use my blog like a diary and today i realized i never talked about what happened in my life while i was blog-less from april to august so:
so my blog was suspended right before my 10 year tumblr anniversary with that blog which was april 5th i believe.
on april 6th i flew to san diego to do the 6 california dates of the frank/tbs tour. the tour was so much fun!!! we went to disney for two or three days that we had off from the tour which was a lot of fun. 
the highlight of the tour was the second night in LA because I MET RAY!!!! while tbs was on i saw ray hanging back in the crowd and i couldn’t help myself i had to go say hi so i introduced myself and told him how much the music meant to me, it was really brief cause the show was going on and it was super loud and he was with his wife but he was like the gentlest and nicest man ever....however i had to go chug a 20 dollar beer right afterwards to cope.
we figured gerard and mikey were there as well since they all always go to frank LA shows but im glad i didnt see gerard cause that would just cause a breakdown im a simple man and gerard way makes me cry!
but frank did come talk to us that night, it was the only opportunity i really got on that tour to talk to frank and i hadnt talked to him since last summer when i got really bombed at a tribute show and talked to him while black out drunk which i dont remember. so i had a really good talk with him and i was like i dont know WHY im telling you this but i reminded him how i told him about my alopecia a while back and how mcr had helped me cope with that well while i was in california i tested not wearing a hat to cover my alopecia for the first time and even though it was super scary everyone treated me the same and i did itt! i survived!! so i reminded him how i told him about that and then told him how i had been combatting that on the trip and he seemed so genuinely happy for me he was like that is so awesome and he hi fived me. and it was good i really love frank. oh also i told him we were going to get tattoos in san fransisco and he told us to go to idle hand so
in san fransisco we did go to idle hand to get tattooed! i got a heart on my middle finger and my broken armed boozey that frank drew up for me after i had broken my arm at his show and frank had warned us that they might not be the friendliest people but they were great tattoo artists so we were like scared?? but my guy was so fucking nice and literally hugged me when i tipped him and he thought it was so cool that we were following the tour so idk...good experience.
when i got home from the tour though it was a few weeks until my 25th birthday and i didnt want to live so i went inpatient for almost 2 weeks :( but then i got out and had my birthday and lived i guess lmao
when i went back to work i had like nO MONEY because i spent all of it in california but frank had east coast shows coming up and the release of barriers and i was just like if i dont go i am gonna lose my fucking mind! and my friend convinced me to go to harrisburg and she bought my ticket so i was like yay! amen! this friend is always so good to me i cant explain.
anyway this is my favorite thing. im standing outside the venue talking to my friends before doors and the band walks out the front cause theres only one entrance and theyre going to the bus but frank seens me and walks the other way to come over and shake my hand and tell me it was good to see me ;____; literally rerouted himself to say hi to ME specifically i was like...wah. im baby. i LOVE HIM.
i ended up getting stupid drunk at the show and woke up in the back seat of my car the next morning still parked across from the venue..dont recommend. but im saying this because it is a plot point!
i got in a lot of trouble for going to pennsylvania without telling anyone and not answering any texts or calls when everynoe was still really worried about me but then a couple weekends later there were more shows....the show frank played on a boat and a signing the next day.
so my friends again paid for me to go because they thought it was important for me. which it was. the boat show was fun but i felt so sick because it was on a literal moving boat and i hadnt eaten or slept but i was extremely overcaffeinated....so when we got to the hotel that night i fell asleep for 15 hours straight i was asleep before my friend even got out of the shower and i did NOT wake up.
the signing the next day was really weird for me. they played a few songs which was fine but then to ‘meet’ frank at a signing was super weird cause he and evan were at this table and i just didnt knwo what to say and i felt really awkward and it was a weird shift in dynamic from how i usually talk to them so i feel like i came off as super nervous and then i was liek frank htates me now cause he thinks i am nervous to talk to him...but then my friend was talking to me about it and we realized that it had been a really long time since id talked to frank sober. and it was sad to realize that but also cool that i could make that realization and move forward from it.
so the NEXT weekend i went to the last show which was asbury lanes. saw a lot of pals there. i could have drank but i didnt drink at all and i had the best time....i was amazed by the lighting idk if it was just really good that night or if i hadnt paid any attention cause id always been drunk but it felt really good and i told frank about it after the show!!
but the whole time that all was happening i was like really fucking depressed and i didnt think i was going to even make it home that time. i did make it home but a few days later i tried to kill myself and ended up in inpatient for the whole month of july. :/
when i got out though i made some changes like leavig chipotle and getting a job at hot topic before anyone expected me to go back to work and i also started taking a bio class which is hopefully now going to turn into me doing a surgical tech program starting in the fall!
im still very depressed but im doing better, even i can admit.
if you read this whole thing you are a champ...

day 39 pt 2
so in the morning when i went to work it was pretty usual the same route just abit later cos my bus was hecka slow but still on time and i saw one guy who sits around me who is pretty cute and wearing a new shirt, blue and super flowery but still cute the first we actually talk? I think is js him cos i opened the door for him and he has manners engf to say thanks. Than we took the same lift like uk the we know each other existence but nothing else not even name. So after reaching the office i started to prepare for the day cos i kind of invigilate exams so yea had to turn on the laptops and prep when luke came into the office he would walk past my table and today his mood is literally so good i was so ???? did he finally wake up on the correct side of the bed??? den after the start of the exam i texted nico if i should eat breakfast anot and he is the only who would entertain me for breakfast so when he came over we decided to go downstairs for a small snack cause we already planned to go airport for lunch. We went down to the canteen downstairs and had sandwich and a cup of teaaa its bombz when we sat down and had our usual small talk May suddenly text me
May: "Jan(me)"
May : "Your boss came to your table and left something"
At this point reading these two sentence i as ready to run back and up and see if anything went wrong that's why he came over. Cause luke lets me do whatever i want as long as when it comes to work i get it down first and whenever he needs me its for something important
Jan: "??? what he put ? why he come?"
May : " idk youngie says its a phone stand holder and its damn cute "
READING THIS GAVE me so much freaking like i took a deep breathe of relief whenever luke come to me normally isn't good. I was so confused at what it was and was a little bit like "what isit what isit"
So i just continue having my breakfast and went back upstairs so i can take a look at what he gave and it was the exact same phone holder that he has on his table which i said was cute and something i would want but don't have when we were having a meeting and some girl suddenly intrude and asked what is a good gift for youngsters nowadays for a reward. When i opened the box i was squealing and i quickly said my thanks to him and it went like
me: "thank you *inserts a sticker of a cartoon running wif a flower* its really cute!"
luke: *smiley face emoji*
Den i heard from Youngie and May he was making his daily pot of hot water and because near the area i was sitting in was near the water dispenser. He suddenly walked over and brought the box with him and slowly and careful put down the box on top of my laptop and smile a lil AND THAT LADIES AND GENTS freaking love him to death he is always so hard and suddenly so soft im inloveeee like i see him as a dad he is literally ny dad age man.
But yea so i started working again and suddenly May told me to "eh you should look up" den i "huh??? wait i busy" but i still looked up and around and realised wingx LOOKS HECKA GOOD he was wearing formal and is the kind of formal where it fits the male really well and show off their good points and oof really took my breathe away. i just said "oof he wearing formal" i paused for 3 seconds "that ass is looking good" HAAHHAHAA oops den i continued working till 12 and i went over to the lab cos there was nothing else to do and nobody in the office wants to entertain me (and wingx was thr how can i miss a feast for the eyes) so i went over and just walked into the room they were in and went over to cisco seat cos he wasn't there and basically every other seat was taken but actually his seat has the best view to the entire office. So i took a seat and someone asked why im there and i just replied "ask eggy he knows why im here" and he "hm???" cos he was just drinking his water and i cued him he just "ah yea ik why she is here" HAHAHAH we just have this thing where he understands me and ik the things he say no matter how superficial he is being. I just kept my eyes on wingx while he walked around and we just made a few eye contacts but he was still talking to someone else so i didnt say anything to him i just told eggy "im thinking about your offer of framing the picture up" den he eyes widen and said "are you srs?" i just laughed and continue looking at wingx. At one point after about 10 mins he was still doing his stuff but not as busy i just "eh shuaige(handsome guy)" he looked up and "不要这样叫我额"(dont call me that eh) in an exasperated voice but honestly no regrets was damn looking.
The other time i called him that was a day before when i was there after lunch and all of them wad there too and i sat in between him and eggy cos that was the only seat left and eggy is the only person who entertains everything i say no matter how dumb it is. So Eggy just woke up from his nap (our company has a culture where they sleep after lunch for some people not everyone but eggy is one of them) and he was still not very awake and wingx was doing his stuff and i didnt want to disturb him so i just stared at eggy while he stood from his seat and walk out to the pantry and get some water and when the door closed i just turned back and look at my phone waiting for him to come back. Suddenly next to me came a voice "what you ate for lunch" i just internally 'huh who is talking to me???' den i looked up and i realised it was wingx talking to me while still doing his work and since he started we just had a convo.
me: "porridge ah"
him: "from where ah got so many places"
me: "downstsirs ah the pantry there"
him: "wah got so 可怜(pitiful) anot"
i just laughed and said "no ah just don't know what to eat and also sian go so far eat alr"
den i continued "u eh never eat again? dieting again ah?" cos the day before (another day before but i shall continue this first) he didn't eat either
him: "ya" den our convo kind of stopped there abit den i eggy came back and i talked with eggy and suddenly i realised in my pocket i had a packet of honey lemon sweet den i just offer to eggy first deb u turned to him "uw sweet?" den he "yes pls" "eh wait got sugar one anot?" its herbal sweet darling there isn't any sugar coated stuff but i just replied a no and laughed den when i gave him the sweet i tot like cos its a semi hard sweet he wld suck on it or smth but he freaking bite it MONSTER and im lz to continue laterrrr suckers

CHAPTER 2
Characters
Main: Song Jiwon, Yoon Jinmyung, Jung Yeeun, Yoo Eunjae, Jo Eun, Kang Yina, Im Sungmin, Kwon Hochang, Jo Chungwon, Seo Janghoon
Note: If you haven’t read the first chapter, you may do so here –> First Chapter
In a nutshell: It all happens in one day, so it’s gonna be quite a long journey ahead. Follow the Belle Epoque girls’ journey in celebrating their loneliest, to the most memorable Valentine’s Day of their lives.
Rating: M
After dropping Jiwon off at Belle Epoque, Sungmin went back home to rest. 
When he laid himself on the bed, the conversation he had with Chungwoon last year came to his mind.
5th October 2017
Chungwon: Hyung, you like Jiwon-sunbae, right? Then why aren’t you guys dating?
Sungmin: Is being in a relationship better than being friends?
Chungwon: Eeey, Hyung, what happens if Jiwon gets herself a boyfriend? It’s not that you don’t like her, but you’re scared of confessing to her, right?
This statement really made Sungmin’s blood boil, he cursed at Chungwon for lecturing him on his love life. 
Sungmin pretended to sleep, but he was kept awake all night, thinking about the possibility that another guy might really like Jiwon and take her away from him. 
Honestly, some of the things Chungwon said was right, but his pride and ego as a guy refused to agree to it.
Sungmin himself is a motae solo. He doesn’t exactly know how to approach the opposite gender, and he’s THAT awkward when it comes to romance and love.
 He does watch a lot of romantic films, dramas, and even read the most cliché romance novel out there, but theory and practice are two drastically different things. 
So, putting all the things he learnt through watching all those cheesy romance on screen together with his current state of friendship with Jiwon, is challenging.
For the first time, Sungmin actually put much thought on his feelings, even though it stays as a monologue, at least he’s being honest with himself.
Jiwon is my precious friend. I honestly don’t know how she feels about me. I’m afraid that she’ll reject me and we can’t get back together as friends. Even if she accepts me and be in a relationship, what will happen if we breakup? Can we stay as close friends again? I’m so afraid to lose her. More than being selfish, I’d rather have her beside me as a really close friend.
Sungmin paused his monologue as a notification came out on his phone screen. He opened it and saw messages from Jiwon.
Tumblr media
‘Is this even real?’ Sungmin thought to himself. Sungmin was startled and he hesitated a lot, but he agreed to go anyway. ‘It’s in a 5 Star restaurant’. The place itself is already suspicious, ‘oh well… Maybe she really wanted to thank me.’
14th February 2018, Morning at Belle Epoque
8.00 a.m.
Yeeun woke up to her morning alarm she set at 8 a.m. She reached out for her phone and swiped the off button to make the alarm stop. She sat down on her bed and stretched her body with a smile on her face. 
She saw Jiwon who’s still fast asleep on her bed and quickly grabbed her towel and clothes she has prepared the night before, and went to the bathroom to get ready. 
Yeeun wanted to doll herself up cause she’s looking forward to her date with Hochang. She doesn’t know where he’s gonna take her, but she does have high hopes.
As Yeeun did her makeup, Hochang messaged her to meet him at the subway station, in which Yeeun replied: Ok ^.^
9:33 a.m.
Back at Belle Epoque, Kang-eonni called Jiwon early in the morning that she has set her up for a blind date with an acquaintance.
Jiwon: Hello?
Yina: Annyeong, good morning!
Jiwon: Why are you calling me so early in the morning?
Yina: I’ve set a blind date for you today with my acquaintance
Jiwon: Is he handsome?
Yina: More than handsome, I think he will suit you perfectly.
Jiwon: Arasseo. Where is it?
Yina: Villa Sortino, 8 p.m.
Jiwon: That 5 star restaurant?!
Yina: Eo, what’s wrong?
Jiwon: Ani, I’m super excited! Kang-eonni, yeokshi… you’re the best!
Yina: Arasseo, have fun! Thank me later. The table is reserved under your name okay?
Jiwon: Hm…
10.00 a.m.
The doorbell rang as Jo Eun who just went out of the bathroom after brushing her teeth, opened the front door without looking at the monitor. 
She almost fainted as she realized who’s standing in front of her. It’s Seo Janghoon in his military uniform and cap.
Before Janghoon could say a word, suddenly the door in front of him was slammed hard and it closed. 
Eun who’s inside didn’t know what to do when she found out her boyfriend is standing just outside. She rubbed her eyes to check if she’s actually dreaming, but she’s not. 
She opened the door again and asked coldly,
Eun: Why are you here?
Janghoon: Is that the first thing you have to say to your boyfriend who’s been gone for 5 months?
Eun: I freaking missed you. You! Why didn’t you call me? I was waiting for your call day and night.
Janghoon who couldn’t stand looking at Eun who was sulking, tip-toed to kiss her lips.
Janghoon: I missed you too. Should we go on a date today?
Eun’s expression instantly brightened when Janghoon said that, showing her excitement for their Valentine’s day date.
Janghoon: I’ll wait for you downstairs. Call me when you’re ready.
Eun: Arasseo. See you later!
Subway Station
11.25 a.m.
Yeeun sped up as she saw Hochang waiting in front of the station, looking more stylish than usual, still with his glasses on, though. 
‘He looks great,’ Yeeun thought silently.
Yeeun wrapped her arms around Hochang’s and asked
Yeeun: So where are you taking me?
Hochang: It’s a secret. Let’s go eat first! What do you want to have?
Yeeun: Anything!
Hochang: Wanna have beef stew? I know a famous place people have been recommending.
Yeeun: Hmm, okay, we can have that
Hochang led Yeeun to go down the subway station as they head for the restaurant.
Restaurant
12.08 p.m.
As it’s a very famous place, all the tables are occupied, but luckily Hochang and Yeeun secured a table.
Hochang: Eat it deliciously, okay? I wanna see you eat a lot today, it’s gonna be a long day.
Yeeun: Since when did my boyfriend become this caring? Arasseo, I’ll eat well!
‘Forget about diet,’ Yeeun thought. ‘When I eat with Hochang, I never had a problem enjoying whatever’s in front of me.’
As Yeeun ate from the bowl of beef stew happily in front of Hochang, he smiled…
After lunch, Yeeun initiated that the two of them watch a movie
Yeeun: Can we go watch a movie? I’ve been wanting to watch this movie.
Hochang: Of course we can, let’s go!
Movie Theater
14.05 p.m.
Hochang: What movie is it?
Yeeun: The new movie of 50 shades.
Hochang: What?! Are you sure? (Hochang asked as he felt awkward watching that kind of movie with his girlfriend)
Yeeun: Eo, I’m sure. You’re an adult already. There’s no need to be so scared
Hochang: (He tried to give in, as all he wanted to do that day is to make Yeeun happy). Arasseo, I’ll buy the tickets and snacks.
Theatre Room
14.30 p.m.
The lights went off as the screen started to play advertisements for a long 15 minutes….
The scene in the movie showed the main characters’ passionate lovemaking. Hochang swallowed his saliva and clenched his fist hard, as he’s not used to it (well, actually who doesn’t watch that kind of movies? But Yeeun is beside him, so he’s oddly nervous).
Yeeun who saw what Hochang did, quickly grabbed his right fist and held it to assure him that it’s not a big deal and that he’s gonna be okay. Hochang who realized Yeeun’s gesture loosened his fist.
16.40 p.m.
Yeeun and Hochang walked out of the theater, and when Hochang became aware that it’s still 4.40, he thought, ‘oh shit, it’s only 4.40?! What to do…’
Yeeun: What are we gonna do now?
Hochang: …
Yeeun: Mwoya, I thought you had everything planned?
As Yeeun criticized him, he scratched his head and got a little nervous.
Hochang: Yeeun-ah… Actually…
Before Hochang finished his words, suddenly someone called Yeeun and Hochang from afar.
Yeeun: Eunjae-ya! Eun-ah!
Eunjae: Sunbae! What are you doing here?
Yeeun: We just finished watching a movie
Eunjae: aah, okay…
Yeeun: What is this? Now you guys are having a double date together? Janghoon, how come you’re here? I thought you’re in the army?
Eun: Eo, Yeeun-sunbae, Janghoon received a 5-day off holiday. Isn’t it so cool?
Yeeun: Wah, you’re so lucky!
Janghoon scoffed: Hahahahah, I know. She should be thankful that her boyfriend is working so hard so that he can go home to meet her before the 2 years period.
Eun glared at Janghoon for his petty statement.
Chungwon: anyway, Hochang-hyung and Yeeun-sunbae, do you want to follow us? We’re going to the amusement park.
Hochang: It’s a great idea. Yeeun-ah, do you wanna go with them?
Yeeun: well, alright!
Eunjae: Let’s go!
Maybe God is with Hochang this time. Without meeting the two couples, Yeeun’s mood could’ve gone down in a slope now.
Amusement Park
17.20 p.m.
While the girls walked in front hand-in-hand, being excited with the occasion, the guys walked together behind, staring at their girlfriends’ backs.
Hochang: Hey, what to do… I have a reservation dinner at Namsan Tower today at 8 p.m.
Chungwon: waa Hyung, you prepared a lot for today, huh
Janghoon: Gwaenchana, you can stay here for about 1.5 hours and just take taxi from here. It won’t take long, 30 minutes I guess. Check the map.
Hochang: But isn’t 1.5 hours too fast to spend in here?
Janghoon: don’t worry. We’ve got your back.
Chungwon: Eo, anyway Yeeun-sunbae would be tired already since she already watched a movie with you, no?
Hochang: Arasseo. I’ll rely on you, ok?
The couples rode so many attractions at the theme park, and Yeeun couldn’t believe the awkward Hochang that she knew is actually an extreme-ride maniac. He’s so fun when it comes to amusement park activities.
Chungwon and Eunjae came back wearing couple head bands, those cute ones that could pass a children’s accessories. Eun and Janghoon stared at the sight with total awkwardness, as they both thought those matching things are cheesy and childish. But what to do, they’re inexperienced when it comes to dating, so they don’t know exactly what to do.
By now, the couples have separated from each other and are now doing their own things..
Janghoon grabbed Eun by her hand and said,
Janghoon: Eun-ah, let’s go ride that (while pointing up)
It’s a ferris wheel. 
Eun nodded and held Janghoon’s hand tight as they walked past the sea of couples who seemed to be enjoying themselves at the amusement park too.
The sun has set and the sky has gone darker at 6.30 p.m.
Eun and Janghoon queued in line, waiting for their turn to hop on the ferris wheel. As they reached the front line of the queue the operator told them to be careful as they step onto the capsule, because it’s not gonna stop.
Finally, It’s just the two of them. For the past hours, they’ve been hearing loud noises of people in the amusement park. People screaming, laughing, and talking casually.
Eun: It feels nice, and the night view from here is so pretty.
Janghoon: are you happy?
Eun: hm…
Without them realizing, they’re reaching the top of the ferris wheel, and without notice, Janghoon told Eun earnestly,
Janghoon: Eun-ah…
Eun kept her eyes on Janghoon, waiting for what he’s about to say.
Janghoon: Saranghae.
Janghoon leaned towards Eun who was sitting in front of him, and kissed her as the capsule reached the highest peak of the wheel. 
It was delicate and pure, reminding Eun of their first kiss outside Belle Epoque.
19.00 p.m.
Hochang: Yeeun-ah, are you tired?
Yeeun: A little…
Hochang: Actually, I still have something I wanted to do with you
Yeeun: what is it?
Hochang: Let’s go.
Hochang and Yeeun rode on a taxi outside the amusement park, heading to their last destination of the special day.
19. 45 p.m.
Yeeun: Namsan? (she asked with a big smile on her face)
Hochang: Hm…
Hochang held Yeeun’s hand and headed towards n.Grill, a French restaurant located at the top of Namsan Tower. 
Hochang made a reservation in this restaurant from a month before. That’s how much he put his thought to give Yeeun a nice Valentine’s day experience.
As they reached the restaurant, the waiter showed them to their table. The view was so breathtaking. Yeeun’s face was bright in awe of the night view of Seoul, she couldn’t feel any happier.
Yeeun: Kwon Hochang…
Hochang: ?
Yeeun: I’m delighted. I didn’t expect you had prepared this much for today. I’m sorry if I hurt your feeling today after the movie.
Hochang: Yeeun-ah, no, you don’t have to feel sorry for anything.
The food that has been ordered in advance by Hochang came out not long after they arrived. 
Eating in a fancy restaurant isn’t a rare occasion for Yeeun, but that night was special, because she could be herself in front of Hochang. She doesn’t have to suppress her desire to eat, unlike when she had to do it in from of her mom. 
Moreover, Seoul’s night view and the dots of lights painted the glass window beautifully, as Yeeun and Hochang had their first and most romantic dinner.
19.40 p.m.
Yoon-sunbae was about to head home when she had the time to check her kkaotalk messages.
Jaehwan:
I’m sorry.
I can’t go to Seoul today,
I know it’s a special day
I’ll visit on the weekend.
Love you ❤
Jinmyung understood how difficult it is for Jaehwan to visit her in Seoul. The last time she met him was during New Year’s celebration over a month ago, where they went to a countdown show together in the cold, cold winter. She missed Jaehwan so much, but she knew distance is there to halt them from meeting.
Jinmyung types on her phone before finally sending her reply:
Jinmyung:
Gwaenchana-yo.
See you this weekend ❤
Jinmyung kept her phone back in her blazer pocket and forced a smile, before walking outside the office to go back home.
Villa Sortino, Seoul
19.45 p.m.
Sungmin arrived at the restaurant first. He parked his car on the side of the road and went in.
At the reception
Receptionist: Yes sir, how can I help you?
Sungmin: There’s a reservation under the name Song Jiwon?
Receptionist: Yes, there is… For two people? But you came alone?
Sungmin: Ah, yes… She’ll come later
Receptionist: Okay, let me take you to your table.
Sungmin sat down at the table while waiting for Jiwon. He turned his head left and right to observe the restaurant.
10 minutes later, he saw a figure he couldn’t recognize approaching the table with the receptionist earlier.
As they got closer, Sungmin couldn’t believe his eyes as the girl he’s known for his whole uni life is standing in front of him, probably looking the prettiest in the course of her life. 
Her hair was straight with waves at the bottom, and the dress she was wearing was pink, decorated with delicate floral embroidery. Not to mention, she smelt so damn good.
Sungmin’s zoning out moment stopped as Jiwon exclaimed
Jiwon: Ya! You! Why are you here?!
Sungmin: Me? You’re the one who invited me here. What do you mean?!
Jiwon: What? What are you talking about? I never— Aish! Kang-eonni!
Jiwon grasped that Kang-eonni must’ve set her up with Sungmin. ‘Why?’ Jiwon thought hard to herself.
Sungmin: are you disappointed?
Jiwon: I don’t know.
Sungmin: Just sit down.
Jiwon followed Sungmin’s words as he told her to sit opposite him.
Sungmin: What do you want to eat?… Steak?… Pas-
Sungmin was about to say pasta, when he remembered what Jiwon said about pasta last year when he caught her outside the restaurant, spying on him.
‘Do you think pasta is just a meal? What is pasta? It’s a meal for a couple.’
Jiwon: I’ll just go with Pasta.
Sungmin gulped in nervousness as Jiwon decided on that. But in the end, Sungmin ordered pasta too, for don’t know what reason.
In the middle of eating…
Jiwon: Well, since we’re here already, why don’t the both of us just do what people do during blind dates?
Sungmin, who doesn’t know what people talk about in blind dates (as he never went to one), responded,
Sungmin: What do people do during blind dates?
Jiwon: Well, they ask about each other’s interests, hobbies, what kind of food they like, what countries they’ve been to… Things like that? But for me, I like to make it extra special. Drinks!
Sungmin: Forget about those background checks. Think about this. What do I not know about you? and what do you not know about me? Can you think of any?
Jiwon: (Jiwon hesitated a lot and said), well, we’ve known each other enough to know everything about each other.
Sungmin: Right? Okay, let’s go get some drinks, then.
Jiwon: ooooo, Im Sungmin, did you get striked by a lightning? you’re so lively now.
Sungmin just smirked as Jiwon commented nonchalantly. 
To be honest, he just wanted to spend Valentine’s Day together with Jiwon for a longer time, that’s why he asked her to go have some drinks.
As they both finished eating their pasta, they headed to the cashier to pay the bills. 
Sungmin grabbed his wallet from his pocket and paid their meals in full. Before they left the restaurant, the receptionist commented.
Receptionist: You two look good together. I hope you’ve enjoyed your date on Valentine’s Day. Hope to see you again on your next visit. Thank you!
Jiwon thought, ‘Valentine’s Day?’
Jiwon: Today’s Valentine’s Day?! (Jiwon asked Sungmin as she just realized the date).
Sungmin: eo, why?
Jiwon: Then what am I doing?! I should be doing something romantic with a guy now.
Sungmin’s heart plunged as he heard Jiwon’s statement. But he quickly brushed it off.
Sungmin: Let’s go have some drinks. And what’s with that pout? You look ugly.
Jiwon followed Sungmin as they headed towards the car.
21.58 p.m.
Sungmin parked his car in the basement of a high-end apartment complex. 
Jiwon: Ya, where are we?
Sungmin: It’s my place.
Jiwon: are you rich?
Sungmin: no, my parents are.
Jiwon, who just found out about this, nodded in acceptance. 
She thought she knew everything about him, but no, actually, she doesn’t. It made her realize just how mysterious Sungmin is.
Jiwon: But why are we at your place? Aren’t we supposed to have some drinks?
Sungmin: I have lots of soju and beers at home
Jiwon: You brat, why did you never ask me to come have a drink at your place?
Sungmin: Molla. Let’s go.
Sungmin and Jiwon went inside the apartment building’s lift, and Sungmin pressed the level number ‘25’.
Sungmin entered the passcode to his apartment door, and when the door opened, Jiwon was in awe at Sungmin’s luxurious apartment. 
Jiwon: Do you live alone in here?
Sungmin: Hm...
She put her bag in the living room, walked around the open space, and even went inside every room she could find in that enormous apartment.
Jiwon: Ya Im Sungmin, how come you never had a girlfriend? If you told them you live in an apartment like this, girls will line up for you everyday.
Inside Sungmin’s heart, he thought, ‘you dense girl, it’s you that I like. How am I supposed to be with another girl?’ 
Sadly, he couldn’t say it out loud. Yet.
Sungmin left Jiwon to wander around the apartment, and prepared the drinks and glasses from the kitchen counter. Sungmin put the bottles of soju and beer on the coffee table in the living room.
Jiwon came out of one of the rooms and joined Sungmin who was already sitting down on the carpet in the living room.
There was silence between these man and woman as they realized that they’re the only ones in that place now, isolated from any other human beings and disturbances.
Sungmin poured himself a shot of Soju. 
Seeing this, Jiwon gave him a word of critic.
Jiwon: ckckck, how old-fashioned. Here, I’ll make you the best somaek (soju + beer) you’ll ever taste in your life.
Sungmin kept quiet and let Jiwon mix it for him and herself. 
The two hit their refreshing glasses of somaek before gulping it down in one shot. They let go a sigh of satisfaction from the burning sensation.
Sungmin: You’re good, (while smiling).
Jiwon: See? What did I tell you?
Sungmin: hey by the way, how long have we known each other for?
Jiwon: We first met during orientation, so 4 years?… It’s been 4 years already?! Why is it so fast… I feel like I just met you a few months ago.
Sungmin, realizing that they’ve known each other for 4 years, thought about how long it’s been since he literally never landed another woman except Jiwon in his heart.
The two kept drinking and drinking while at the same time sharing so many stories they have yet shared in those 4 years. 
Maybe it’s the magical effect of alcohol, but Sungmin never felt this comfortable in his life. He never shared so much about his experiences with anyone, no one but the beautiful woman who’s sitting next to him now.
For every glass of somaek Sungmin drank, he became more and more honest each time. 
Jiwon, who’s quite a strong drinker, laughed as she witnessed the rare sight of her quiet friend acting funny.
Jiwon: Im Sungmin, I didn’t know you’re capable of making jokes like that, Jiwon complimented Sungmin with laughter.
Sungmin who heard Jiwon, gazed at her eyes. 
‘And it happened yet again…,’ Jiwon thought. Just like the day before.
Flashback
In Sungmin’s car after the trial
Jiwon was thankful towards Sungmin who’s been there to support her in investigating Mr. Han’s case.
Jiwon: Sungmin-ah… Thank you.
The car stopped as the traffic light turned red. Sungmin who was looking at the road now has his eyes on Jiwon’s. 
As they’re both now locking their gaze, Jiwon felt a weird feeling she’s never felt before. She tought, ‘what the hell is this? Why does my stomach feel funny? And why is my heart beating like this?’
Luckily, there were sounds of cars honking at the back, so the two got back to their senses. 
When Sungmin dropped Jiwon off at Belle Epoque, she touched her heart to feel it. She laid herself down on the sofa and murmured to herself.
Jiwon: Do I… like him?, while staring at the ceiling.
Flashforward
Sungmin’s Apartment
The two are still gazing at each other’s eyes. At that moment, both of them totally forgot what’s happening and what they were even doing in the first place.
Sungmin who’s a little tipsy and Jiwon who’s completely awake approached each other’s lips at the same time. 
As their lips touched, Sungmin cupped his right palm on Jiwon’s left cheek and his left palm on Jiwon’s neck. 
He felt their lips and tongue danced in synchronization, as he let his suppressed feelings for Jiwon all out. He couldn’t hold it in any longer, as this long overdue kiss was all he’s been longing for.
Jiwon got more and more immersed in the intimacy, and squeezed Sungmin’s loose shirts around his waist. 
She could feel Sungmin’s soft lips playing with hers gently and full of passion. Honestly, it felt so damn good. It’s as if the world belonged to her and Sungmin.
Sungmin pulled out his warm lips and detached it from Jiwon’s, stood up from his position, and carried Jiwon’s light figure, heading towards his room at the end of the hallway.
While Jiwon was carried by Sungmin, she thought, ‘so this is how a real kiss feels like. I want more.’ 
Sungmin pushed the door to his room with his back, and closed it with his feet as he approached his bed to lay Jiwon down on the mattress, caressing his lips once again on Jiwon’s soft lips that he’s gone familiar with now. 
The burning passion of the two equally lustful man and woman continued. As the rhythm got stable, Sungmin unbuttoned his shirt one by one, with the help of Jiwon who’s in the mood. Sungmin then dragged down Jiwon’s dress zipper in a moderate speed and pulled the dress off her body. 
Jiwon switched her position, and now she’s on top of Sungmin, who has his back on the sheets. 
Jiwon who’s left with her matching lacy black underwear on, kissed Sungwon’s neck and traced her lips down to Sungmin’s hard chest, all the way to his sculpted muscles on his belly part. Both Sungmin and Jiwon could feel the sensuality created by their strong affection for one another.
As Jiwon reached his lower body, Jiwon said.
Jiwon: Wait, where’s my bag?
Sungmin: Outside, why?
Jiwon: Protection.
Sungmin: Thank God. You carry it with you?
Jiwon: Of course. Who knows when I’m ever gonna do it, right?
Sungmin: Ah, sorry I’m so bad at this
Jiwon: ssshhhh. that’s not important now.
Jiwon hurriedly ran towards her bag in the living room, took it with her to Sungmin’s room and reached out a packet of condom. She jumped back to the bed and instructed Sungmin,
Jiwon: Take it off, (while pointing at his pants)
Without further ado, Sungmin removed his pants and tossed it to the side of his bed.
Sungmin: Jiwon-ah, are you sure?
Jiwon: Shut up.
Jiwon who couldn’t resist Sungmin’s charm, pulled his body up such that her legs are now wrapped around Sungmin’s waist. 
As they gazed at each other’s eyes for a moment, they attached their foreheads together, put on a subtle smile and let their lips lock again. The kiss was deeper this time. 
Sungmin’s fingers reached out to Jiwon’s back to unclasp her bra and reached her lower waist, as he removed whatever was left on her, Jiwon did the same to Sungmin as she helped him take off his boxer. 
Jiwon tore open the packet she took earlier with her teeth and gave him the night’s savior, the protection she’s been keeping in her bag for the longest time.
As they’ve reached this state now, there’s no going back. 
Sungmin and Jiwon continued on as the night of privacy and intimacy between them developed into a dangerous yet romantic moment they’ve never experienced in their life before. 
‘So this is how it feels,’ Jiwon thought to herself. It’s so good, and it made her happy. ‘But I’m sure, I can feel it this way only because it’s Sungmin.’
As they reached the peak, they laid themselves facing each other and covered themselves with a warm blanket.
A moment of silence was created as the two locked their gaze, Jiwon’s eyes was shining, and it was focused at Sungmin, whose eyes were full of his affection and love for Jiwon. 
Without them realizing, they both closed their eyes in sync, lips hooked while letting their gut feelings and reflex guide them to the deepest French kiss they’ve only witnessed in those Western movies. 
They weren’t exactly sure how much time has passed, as they both tried to catch their breath from kissing. They stared at each other for a moment with sweet smiles on their faces. 
They gave each other one last goodnight peck before getting into a comfortable cuddle position – Jiwon placing her head on Sungmin’s broad chest, and Sungmin hugging Jiwon tight in his arms, as they both head over to dreamland.
Thank you for reading.

In the Mood for Love (Jin x Reader) Chapter 3
(Chapter 1 / Chapter 2)
Next morning Seokjin woke up early like he always did to go running. He was a rising actor, having a small but faithful fan base who had come for his looks and stayed for his talent. So he always made sure he was at his top form, not wanting to disappoint anybody about his body when he had ro do a ropless scene- which he always had to do for some reason.
It was so early that the sun hadn’t even fully rised yet, so he didn’t expected none of his roommates to be awake. Nor did he expected to find you cooking breakfasts, your long brown hair bobbing in a high ponytail along with your head, in rhythm to whatever music you were listening through your headphones.
He didn’t made himself know so quickly, having a moment to really look at you without being noticed and without Yoongi barking at him. You were really pretty, even prettier than some of the models he worked with some times. You were tall too, maybe a couple inches smaller than your brother, but tall for a girl, with long legs. Even looking tired and upset, he had to admit you were one of the prettiest girls he had ever seen.
Seeing you stop mixing the scrambled eggs, looking at the phone buzzing with a incoming phone call in your hands, he decided that it was time to stop being a creep and make himself known.
“Wah, who would’ve thought Yoongi’s own blood was capable of waking up this early. I thought it was in your genetic code to hate mornings.”  His loud voice had made you almost drop your phone, that now you had brought along with you hand to your heart while you cursed low.
Seokjin had to resist the urge to laugh at you.
“Jin-ssi.” You breathed in relief, knowing that your life wasn’t in danger. “I thought i was the only one awake. Have you been there for long? Did you eat yet?”
He leaned against the kitchen countertop beside your. The phone had started buzzing again, making you sigh, throwing him dangerously near the sink.
“I didn’t. Aren’t you gonna answer that?” he asked, eyeing the pink device.
You bitted your lower lip, looking a little embarrassed again. “That’s Jaebum, so no, not gonna answer. I wouldn’t even know what to say. Do you like eggs?”
He nodded, sitting at the kitchen island. He had always  found the kitchen to be the best thing in this apartment, maybe the most spacious he had seen in Seoul. You didn’t find kitchens this big in central Seoul anymore, so he appreciated it even more. He still didn’t know how Yoongi didn’t charged more for rent, with all the space the apartment had.
He watched as you easily found where everything was, having to remind himself that you used to live here before. The room that was always locked was actually yours, answering one of his biggest questions since he moved in. He had always assumed that the room was just somewhere where Yoongi kept the body’s of the people he murdered hidden.
“I assume you are the reason why there’s real food in this house?” You asked after setting a plate of eggs and bacon in front of him, filling his coffee mug. You looked right, being in there, he thought. In the well loved kitchen, the early morning sunlight hitting the top of your cheekbones, setting a golden filter through the whole room. “God knows Yoongi oppa and Tae only eat junk food.”
“Yeah,” he answered before chewing. It tasted exactly the way he liked, the right amount of salt and butter. “They wouldn’t eat if it wasn’t for me. I have to make them coffee everyday when I wake up.”
She chewed on her food a little more before speaking again.
“Why are you awake so early, anyway? Do you have somewhere to be or is it an actor thing? I googled you, by the way. You have a lot of fans already, I was impressed.”
He stopped chewing, blurting with his mouth still full, “You googled me??”
You looked awfully entertained by his reaction, your hand covering your smile again, just like last night. Jin felt a little disappointed at not seeing your smile again, but he pushed it to the side for now. You scoffed lightly at him. “What did you expected? I had to know who I was sharing the same roof with. You’re very photogenic by the way. Your selfies are great.”
“God that’s so embarrassing!” whined Jin, hiding his face behind his hands. “You should’ve just asked me what you wanted to know, I would’ve even shown you my best selfies.  What else did you found?”
You shrugged, wiping your mouth delicately with a napkin. “Nothing much. Just that you have nice abs and great singing voice. Oh, and that you apparently blink with your left eye when you’re hungry, which is ridiculous. Is that even true?”
Jin looked at you, seeming more hurt than he should. “Yeah it’s true. Do you really think my abs are nice?”
You rolled your eyes, finally looking like Yoongi again. “You know they are nice, you have about a thousand shirtless selfies. You didn’t answered​ me, you know. About why you’re up so early.”
“Meeting with the boss. He likes to see my pretty face first thing in the morning. I don’t blame him though, the sight of my beautiful face can make anybodys day better. ” He sipped his coffee, looking through his bangs at you pressing the decline button on your phone again. “Do you want me to answer it for you? I could act like I was with you the whole night, make him have a taste of his own poison.”
You looked thoughtful for a moment, a half smile lifting the corners of your lips. “Nah, not now, maybe later. Thanks for the offer, though. I’m gonna take a shower, you finish your breakfast. It was nice talking to you, Jin-ssi, good luck with your meeting. Try not to blind anyone with your good-looks.”
You left him then, disappearing behind the door to your room. Jin finished eating, noting how you had barely touched your food, going to take a quick shower after because you had distracted him and he was going to be late if he didn’t hurry up already.  
Seoul’s summer was still strong even at the beginning of September. The drive to his agency building was longer than it should’ve been, but even still he still made it on time. Smiling at the receptionist, he took the lift to the director floor, where he promptly listened about the same old thing. He was getting more popular, his Instagram being partly responsible for it, attracting modelling jobs for him. It wasn’t exactly what he wanted, to model. But still, it helped pay the bills, so he took it anyways. Acting roles came more sporadically, but every one of them since someone had recorded him singing shirtless at the beginning of his career had been a hit. He was lucky, really, that because of his looks he attracted a large number of female audience, but that didn’t mean he didn’t put everything he had into each role, rehearsing nearly to exhaustion just so that nobody could say he was talentless. Acting was his dream, and he wasn’t going to waste a single opportunity.
He made his way to the the theater where his next play would be. He didn’t had to be there for another two hours, but he was a rehearsal freak. Parking his 4x4 at the underground parking lot, he made his way through the building, putting the code to open the door. Turning the lights on, he threw his bag with a set of clean clothes for later when he would be drenched in sweat in the corner.
Suddenly he remembered how you had said you googled him, cringing at himself and the ridiculous things you must had found. Smiling to himself, he typed you name in the search engine, being greeted by way more information than he thought there would be. But Yoongi had said your father was a big shot, so the media being curious about you wasn’t so surprising, after all. Korea always had a sick interest at digging through rich heirs lifes.
One of the most recent articles was about your father death, which he skipped. He already knew about this, and death wasn’t a subject he wanted to dig. There was something else he was curious about. The guy who was stupid enough to cheat on you.
It was actually the second article, named ‘Match made in heaven! Seoul’s elite sweethearts to become one soon!’, which he particularly thought was a terrible name.
He skipped through the text, looking at the photos intently. Taehyung was right, you looked way skinnier now than in the main photo of you, in a elegant black party dress smiling brightly at the man beside you, both of you showing the diamond ring that sat on your finger. He was handsome, Jin had to give him that. Auburn hair well styled, a nice smile and a suit that must have costed more than his last show had made.
Im Jaebum, 24, last year of law school, is bound to take over the Min Company in the future. With their faces, Korea’s bound to have the most good-looking babies in the future!
Jin scoffed. The guy wasn’t that pretty. He read through the comments, where surprisingly the couple had their own fans, who were babbling about how they should win the award of best looking couple of Seoul. Rolling his eyes, he opened your Instagram page. His eyebrows shot up. You had even more followers than him, but your last photos were two months ago. One was with Taehyung and an extremely big ice cream in each hand, both of you smiling big for the camera, looking more like siblings than you and Yoongi had at first, the caption being ‘My favorite dongsaeng treated his noona today! Everybody, go see his show, Thursday, it’s gonna be great!!!’, where she tagged him and the theater company. It had a extreme amount of comments.
The other one was you with Jaebum, posing in front of a pool, both looking like you had came straight out of a photoshoot with your cocktails in hand, your head resting at his shoulder staring at the camera while he looked at you and smiled. The caption now was a simple heart emoji.
He threw his phone over his bag, felling complicated. All the comments were talking about how great the two of you were together, other expressing condolences about you father, even though he had died four months before the photo was taken. Jin stood up, stretching his arms. He obviously wasn’t that great of a guy if he had cheated on you. He wondered how Seoul’s avid gossip readers would feel if they knew.
Sighing, he started practicing his dance for the play. He shouldn’t meddle in other people’s affairs, he knew. He especially shouldn’t meddle into his roommate little sister life. But it was hard to not feel a least a little bit protective about you. He, even more than Yoongi, knee how you must been feeling. He was also cheated in once, for the only person he had dated seriously. It was partially the reason why he never had gotten serious with anyone after that.
The door opened then, pulling him out of his thoughts. He smiled at the other actor who had gotten there early, deciding it was best to focus on rehearsing for the play that would soon be premiered.
-
You peeked under the pillow you were using to ignore the constant buzz of your phone that had now decided to thankfully remain silent. Feeling a little sick to your stomach, you pressed the button to your voicemail, closing your eyes in advance before hearing his voice.
‘Hey, did you forgot to power your phone again? Are you still at Jackson’s place? Don’t come home too late, it’s dangerous outside.’
‘Did you fell asleep there again? Aish, sleepyhead, couldn’t you have waited till you got home? Jackson isn’t picking his phone either, answer his home phone okay? Miss you.’
Lies.  You thought bitterly. How could he miss you after moaning the name of someone else like that? You took a deep breath, the last voice message was from ten minutes ago, at 9 o’clock. You knew that was the time he usually left for work, after kissing you goodbye in the morning.
“Y/N, where are you?” His voice sounded a little desperate, his satoori coming out a little bit like it always did whenever he was nervous. “Jackson just called me to tell me you didn’t slept there. Where are you? Why aren’t you calling me back? I’m almost calling the police, please call me back.”
You rubbed your eyes, feeling a little bad for having made him bother Jackson about you. You scrolled through your contact list, finding your blond friend name easily.
“What happened? Are you okay?” Came his voice through the speaker beside your head, your hands too busy hugging a teddy bear to keep yourself from falling apart. “I just stopped your fiance from going to the police to report your kidnap. He came here and almost knocked my door down when I told him you had left early yesterday. Were did you went?”
You gulped, feeling you throat drying. There was an uncomfortable feeling in your eyes, which you closed again. You wouldn’t cry. It wasn’t like you to cry so much like this. You had to get a grip.
“I’m at Yoongi’s place. I’m okay.” You finally answered, hearing your oldest friend sigh in relief at the other side of the phone. “ Jackson, I need a favor. Could you go to the apartment while Jaebum oppa is still at work and grab some clothes for me? The ones I have here are all ridiculous.”
There was a pause. “Why do you need clothes? Are you going to stay there now that you two made up? Why didn’t you called Jaebum hyung?”
“Please, go for me.” You said, your voice finally breaking at the end. “I’ll text you what I need you to bring and where they are. We can talk here. Don’t tell him where I am, just say that I’m okay. Please, oppa, do me this favor.”
You heard a car door closing through the phone, the car starting. You smiled a little, knowing that Jackson had probably started moving even before asking you why.
“Why are you crying? You never cry, not unless it’s something serious. I’ll be there with your things in a couple of hours, text me what you need me to pack and the apartment key code. But you have to promise me that you’ll explain, okay?”
“I promise. Thank you, oppa. See you soon.”
You lied there for a couple minutes, feeling grateful for having a best friend like Jackson. Eight months older than you, you both had met still in middle school. He was one of your father’s business partner and friends, and with both your moms being friends, you two had always a reason to be in each other’s houses. He was probably the person you most trusted your secrets, him being the first person who you had runned to after you horrible fight with Yoongi.
A head popped in your door , startling you. Taehyung had his signature boxy smile already set for you. He looked ready to leave, having even combed his mess of a hair.
“Hey, you going already? Did you eat the breakfast I made you?” You managed to say, sounding much more brighter than you felt. Walking over to him, you patted his head, a habit you had for a few years, since when you did it accidentally and discovered how much his hair was soft.
“Yup, it was it really nice. Usually Jin hyung is the one who cooks, but your food is much better.” He looked at you again then, pulling you to the living room. “ Don’t tell him I said it though. Anyway, noona, how are you feeling? We can go for ice cream later if you’re up to it, it’s been a while.”
You smiled at the younger boy. He was always so cute, like a puppy. You smoothed the collar of his shirt, pretending to be considering the offer. He was slowly starting to make a sad face, thinking you were going to turn him down, so you said quickly, “Of course I’ll go. I’m sorry I wasn’t better at keeping in touch. I’ll even pay for you, how 'bout that? You can tell me more about what’s been going on with you then.”
He hugged you, lifting you from the ground, making you yelp in surprise. He was never one to be shy at skinship, which was actually refreshing after all the coldness in which you were treated when you visited the company building, basically the only place you willingly went to. He said his goodbyes then, rushing out of the door, already late for class.
Shaking your head at his retreating figure, you turned around. Yoongi was smirking at you, leaning against the hallway wall, shaking his head.
“That boy never asks me to eat ice cream. I guess he still has a crush on you, after all.”
“Oh, shut up, you know Tae has a crush on everybody. He text me about his crush on a photography major last week.” you grumbled, plopping yourself in the black leather couch. “I’m just his noona, it’s nothing like that. Not everybody shuns human touch, you know.”
He shrugged. “Sure, sure.” Looking you over, he asked then, frowning. “Did you even sleep? I heard you talking on the phone.”
Turning on the television, you scrolled through the channels nonchalantly. “A little. Are you going to work already?”
He narrowed his eyes at you, no doubt having caught how you were changing the subject.
“Yeah, so I can finally finish in time for a change. You’ll be okay alone in here? You can come with me if you want.”
You rolled your eyes at your older brother. “You would hate that, you always said I never let you focus. Jackson is coming here with some of my things, I’ll be fine. Don’t worry about me, oppa.”
He walked to you, his hand ruffling your head just like you did with Tae five minutes ago. You grunted at the mess your hair was now, glaring at him half menacingly.
He poked your left cheek. “It’s my job to worry about you. Call me if you need anything, and don’t let the men get you down. Peace.”
Your sleeper missed his mint head by a few inches, unfortunately. Trying to fix your hair without bothering to go look at the mirror, you settled more comfortably at the worn out couch, finally settling to Discovery Animal, and it almost felt like when you were a teen, when your mom was still alive and you would  school, pretending to be sick so that you could sleep the whole morning.
You must have dozed off, because the next thing you knew was that the doorbell was ringing. You opened the door, Jackson being on the other side, a suitcase in his hand. He looked you over, scrunching his face at your dark circles. He handed it to you, stepping inside with you.
“This place looks the same. Where’s Yoongi hyung?”
“At the studio.” You answered. Biting your lips, your mustered you courage again. “Did you told Jaebum  I wasn’t kidnapped?”
He sighed, sitting at the same couch you were drooling two minutes ago. “Yeah. It was really hard making him not come here with me, by the way. He was worried sick, went to my house before going to work looking like he didn’t slept all night.”
You snorted loudly. “I bet he didn’t.”
He lifted one eyebrow at you, silently asking for an explanation. And you gave him one. Telling him all that had happened since the moment you left his house, were the both of you were working on your guest list for the wedding, up until when you had listened to all his voice mails in the morning.
Jackson looked expressionless, like you never saw him before. The line of his jaw getting sharper the more you told him, finally breaking his silence when you had cried again, embarrassed for being so pathetic, not because you were feeling hurt, you told yourself.
“You’re not pathetic.” he was quick to assure you, making you realize you had said it out loud. “Jaebum is. Couldn’t even keep it in his pants like a horny teenager. What are you going to do? Are you calling off the marriage? Do you want me to kill him?”
“I don’t know. You know that he was basically forced into this engagement, just like me. I’ve been thinking the whole night, about if I was mad at him or not. I’m hurt, yes, but i don’t know. Can I blame him for that? Maybe it’s my fault. Maybe my father was right when he said I wasn’t really enough for Jaebum and that i should be thankful for marrying him.”
“Don’t, Y/N. It isn’t your fault. You are more than enough, for Jaebum and for everybody. Don’t put yourself down like that. He’s the wrong one, just him. He’s the one who broke your trust, my trust.”
You stood, walking until you were standing in front of the windows. You watched Seoul’s busy downtown, bursting with people even in the morning going about their business normally.
“If I was enough that wouldn’t be happening. Yoongi was right, when he said all those things to me about this engagement.” You sighed deeply, feeling a little bit numb inside. “ Maybe there’s something wrong with the women in my family, something that make us unlovable.”
His strong arms circled your shoulders, pressing you to his chest.
“There’s nothing wrong with you. You’re not unlovable. I love you, your brother loves you, Taehyung also loves you. Jaebum loves you too, he just seems to have forgotten about it. Come, let’s get some fresh air, put on some clothes that aren’t pink pajamas. Seoul can’t handle you being  so cute so early.”
You complied, going to your room, dragging the suitcase behind you. Jackson had gotten everything you asked, even your skincare and makeup pouch. You smiled to yourself, knowing that you could easily trust your life in Jackson’s hands. Changing to a summer dress[ and sandals, you tied your hair in a elegant bun, doing your best to conceal the lack of sleep from your face. Feeling almost human again, you went out, stopping in your tracks when you heard your phone buzz with a text message.
From: Jaebummie Oppa <3</b>
I am so relieved you’re okay. Please call me back, miss ur voice.
Something in your chest tugged. Was he just pretending? Did he really care? You turned your phone off, not wanting to have to deal with it right now. You smiled brightly at you best friend, who was entertained with his phone, giving a nauseatingly sweet smile and typing at the same time.
“Is Mark oppa still in LA? Are you smiling like a fool because he just said how much he missed you or something disgustingly sweet like that?
“He just sent me a photo of him and his dog, so cute. Look.” He showed you the screen, and you hated to admit, but it was cut. The small white puppy was nestled in his chest, sleeping peacefully. “What you wanna do? Want to go shopping? Heard that’s your favorite sport.”
You punched his arm not so lightly. “Screw you, Wang. Let’s just eat lunch at that place that only sells organic that you love so much. You’re paying anyway.”
He laughed his infamous laugh, making you smile in return. You could always count on him to boost your mood. It made you think that even though things weren’t good now they would be again someday. 
************
Is this a plot forming?? Maybe??? It’s a little less of a mess now, isn’t it? Opinions would be greatly appreciated, as well as corrections about my grammar (english isn’t my first language) 
More Jin x Y/N in the next chapters, but be warned that I think this will be a slow burn. BUT!! It’ll have smut!!! Eventually lol

H-Hello, can I get some cute random headcanon or a little scenario for Ochako/Momo with their male!s/o having a gravity quirk pleasee I feel like I'm the only guy reading fanfiction, headcanon and all.. I need some love too ;w;
Ohaiyyo. And all you male readers deserve loving too. So I’m glad you requested something about it ^^ I hope the scenarios are enjoyable to read too. - Admin Dabi.
URARAKA OCHACO
They both would have gravity quirks, or similar quirks. So, it may be really fun for the both of them. Male s/o comes with with games regarding so their quirks, like playing a tag game! It’s basically like normal tag games when playing as a kid, but this involves if one of them touch each other and make the other float! But of course, they have to be very careful not to get touched by each other.
Ochaco loves sneakily sneaking up to her male s/o and making him float in the air without noticing her. She does it very carefully, tiptoeing behind him and poking him in the back. So, she’s all giggly when she sees male s/o freaking out a little bit in the air and giving her a pouting face.
LITTLE SCENARIO: “PFFFFFFFFF- *Ochaco held back her laughter, seeing the familiar male starting to slowly lift into the air. The male s/o didn’t pay attention because he was distracted by something else, hearing all of the “Wow, that guy is floating…” commotion peaked his interested though… until he was that guy. He knew exactly who was the culprit behind this. “W-w-wah… OCHACO IM GOING TO GET YOU FOR THIS WHEN I GET BACK DOWN THERE!” He exclaimed loudly while flailing around, his whole figure advancing each heights. “PFFT- AHAHA~!”
MOMO YAOYOROZU
Yaoyorozu sometimes throws a party in her massive house for her classmates. She creates all the decorations by herself and sets it on display in every room. There is times where she can’t reach the walls and probably have to create something for her to get up there, but instead she uses her male s/o to float his way up to certain heights and set them there. Also, male s/o may just make the decorations float in the air, it’s cool when they’re just floating.
Male s/o accidentally floats into the air while he sleeps, once in awhile. One time, Momo had to create a rope and had to get it around him somehow to bring him down. Or vice versa, he accidentally brushes his hands on her arm and made her float into the air only to wake up, panicking. So she ALWAYS wraps a rope around herself whenever she sleeps beside male s/o. Or creates a blanket-like creation she made to prevent quirks.
LITTLE SCENARIO: “Ugh… not again…” Momo shook her head in disappointment while his figure unknowingly disappeared, into the air. She woke up to see him floating, and it’s only accidentally he does this.“I guess I’ll have to make a rope and a blanket for you…” She pulled out a red rope, slinging it around his waist and the other end collapsing on the ground, knotting it with her end. Eventually he was in bed once again, and Momo attached the rope to the bed post to prevent him from floating. “Now stay put. I’ll make some blanket for us.” She smiled softly, gazing his slumbering face before pulling materials together.

A dream i remember
I dont know if people here my dream they will think that im desperate but at the end of the day its just a dream i found really weird.
I was in this old, empty, run down building with 2 huge grid-less window and one planked wooden door which was already falling apart. Together with me was a small little girl and we were just resting when a tan skinned guy walked past one of the windows. We had a brief eye-contact and i started getting all panicky as i thought he was going to come in. So i motioned the litte girl to block the door as i quietly observe him walk around, and past the second window towards to door. "HOMAIGAWD" i thought as i rushed to the door to help the girl.
He was one strong, buff guy and the door gave way between our struggle to keep him out. Pushing the girl behind me, we were cornered to the far end of the room. Just when i thought it was the end, he gave out a warm laughter and offered out his hand. Cautiously, i picked myself up and face him eye to eye. All i could remember was that he was taller than me and a little bigger than me. I found out that he was a christian and a chinese and i felt a little safer. When i finally let go of all my enmity, i realised that we were actually hitting it off and hours have passed.
Next moment, we were at a salon and he was getting his hair done while i sit on another chair. I looked as if i came right after a camp ended with all my bags on my lap. We were talking and laughing as before when he suddenly said "do you want to get together?" Well that obviously stunned me but he continued with "i like you. you are an amazing person."
A moment of silence passes before i open my mouth and say "i dont mind like i dont dislike you. i like you too but i dont actually know what its like to be with someone." Before he could say anything else, i confessed "you are actually the first to ever ask me that question".
As i finished my words, his hair dresser came to "wrap up" his hair business and we left the salon and went for dinner. With me lugging all my stuff a step behind him, he paced on forward without helping🙄.
After dinner, he offered to send me home and i followed him as he led the way to his car (ya he has a car wth). On the way, he asked if i wanted to listen to some music and i nod my head. He whipped out his wireless headphone and plugged one side into his and offered my the other side. Unknowingly i gave him my "are you serious" face and he laughed, realising that i had no free hands to entertain him. He reached out and unloaded me of my bags, putting it on himself as i plugged in my ear with the earpiece.
Surprisingly with all the load on him, he still had a free hand to choose a song to play. As i was listening to it, I could feel my face heating up as the lyrics caught me off guard. It was a confession omg... Due to the length of the wireless headphone, i had to walk closer beside him so that it doesnt fall off, with my heart beating like a drum.
As I calmed myself down, we walked past the atrium of the mall which was holding a food fair. Subconsciously, i broke away from him and rushed towards something that caught my attention. When i got myself together and turned back to look at him, the wireless headphone was hanging from his ear and his face spelled the word "shooketh". Ignoring his state, I said "eh come here. this is damn nice eh. wah and so cheap. you want?"
Before i could see his reaction, it was already one week past that day. I was having dinner with weldon and louis (idk why but ya). Towards the end of our meal, weldon suddenly asked me for my birthday and i was intrigued because he was texting someone. So i asked why and peeked into his phone, and i saw my name and the recepient's name (but it was blurred...) and i realised it was him. So i smiled and told weldon my birthday so that he could tell him.
And then ... i woke up and i felt like the dream was soo real. If this even happens in real life, ill be so shocked but grateful HAHAHA

woke up today feeling super distressed/ defeated cos of a really weird dream last night where my mum had a third nerve palsy (?!!??!) and AMS and i was trying to bring her to the hospital but she kept brushing the problem away and giving me lame excuses like we had to celebrate our helper’s birthday. then when she finally made it to the hospital it turned out to be a disaster cos we kept getting rejected by the doctors who waved the problem away like ‘maybe it’s her underlying thyroid problem’ and ‘it’s not something we have to deal with right now come i give you TCU 2 weeks’ and i just watched uselessly as her condition deteriorated and she became even more confused. at the end i decided to wheel her to a random hawker centre and i bumped into my scary paeds reg and i begged her to do something about it but she took one look and said ‘but it’s only a pupil sparing third nerve’. omg i died. then i woke up.....
was apprehensive ++ today cos it was acls cert day!! wah quite sian cos it was just two days of cpr and i already have muscle aches on my arms/ trunk/ thenar eminences (?!!?) and random bruises on my legs. which okay is not the sian part per se but more of how im living up to the useless small girl stereotype. omg how to resuscitate when my compression depth is 2cm -___- and that’s with genuine effort!!! everytime i do something really dumb (like put face mask upside down) and people are like ‘hahahah so cute’ i laugh along but also die a bit inside. like fug this guy just collapsed it is not time to be cute!!!!!!! fug. today the dr was talking about how adrenaline in cardiac arrest is just something we postulated from a study on dogs with like zero evidence from RCT cos the trial was stopped because of public uproar. at first i was like zzz huh why so lame but then i remembered my dream lol. i feel like 5 years of med school has made me quite wary of the general public’s consensus... it’s not so bad/ i actively try not to dismiss any patient’s concerns when i speak to them one-on-one but when i read things that deal with public outcry regarding issues pertaining to the medical profession my instinctive response is always to adopt a defensive stance. i think it comes with the fact that 1. singaporean newspapers are severely lacking in quality/ often phrase things in a sensational manner 2. forums are even worse 3. being exposed to how doctors work has made me very sympathetic/ empathetic towards doctors who made mistakes because i can better understand the circumstances in which they are made and ALSO (mainly) bc i realise how easily i can also fall prey to such transgressions. 
im being super long winded lol but anyway after the initial zzz-ness i thought.. if my mum had been the one who’d collapsed. wouldnt i wish for the best fighting chance for her!! even if it’s data extrapolated from a study on dogs. even if it would only increase her chances by 0.00001%. i wouldnt want to lose out on that tiny tiny chance just because the ED i brought her to happened to be running some large RCT on adrenaline in resus.... 
i dunno what the whole point of this post is..... anw im just glad things turned out fine in the end. must quit my dumb habit of whining about how hard things are bc most things are actually really achievable when you bother to invest the time and energy to do them!!

Rating: T
Belle Époque
3rd March 2018
9.08 a.m.
Jiwon was fast asleep on her comfortable bed as she had a nightmare about Sungmin who got married to another woman. She tried her best to look at the woman’s face, but she couldn’t. She wondered why she was invited to the wedding, but just before the bride and groom announced their vows, Jiwon shouted,
Jiwon: Stop!
Just then, Jiwon woke up from her sleep. She covered her face with both of her palms and relieved a sigh as she realized that it was just a dream.
Yeeun who was still sleeping on the bed downstairs moaned as she heard Jiwon’s loud shout just now, but she tucked herself deeper in her blanket. She was probably tired of her mid-term exams that just ended that week.
Jiwon who couldn’t try sleeping any longer, went out of her room and headed to the bathroom to relieve herself. As she checked her phone, she saw an overwhelming amount of messages coming in from her friends, even those who rarely talked to her. Jiwon murmured to herself,
Jiwon: Did something happen?
She opened her chat with one of her female friends in the same major,
Tumblr media
Jiwon thought, ‘video? What video?’’ She clicked on a video link that was sent to her in her other chats. Her expression turned from being confused to a shocked one, as the video titled ‘Nation’s Bus Kiss’ on her phone screen has been watched over 50,000 times. In the video, she could see Sungmin and herself kissing through the bus window.
Jiwon was shocked, but she put on a sly smile as she internally enjoyed it. She flushed the toilet, washed her hands and headed outside to grill some toast for breakfast while reading the comments under the video,
Dfgf****
[+8,292, -279] Wah… my heart flutters from watching this >.<
Jhhd***
[+7,692, -394] When am I gonna have a boyfriend ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
Eyw***
[+6,982, -340] Aah, you two… please be happy!
Kang***
[+6,002, -209] Am I the only one who’s single and watching this? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Jiwon smiled as she read the comments, she didn’t know her kiss with Sungmin from the bus window could be the talk of the town. She closed the video application and munched on the warm toast that just popped out fresh from the toaster.
10.10 a.m
Yeeun woke up from her sleep. She sighed in frustration as she had to welcome the day where her parents will be meeting Hochang for the first time, or the last time?
It wasn’t enough that the mid-term exams had caused her brain to fire up, and now she had to face another hurdle, but deep down she wanted to overcome that successfully. She was determined to make her parents trust her relationship with Hochang.
Yeeun exited the room and saw Jiwon who was sitting alone at the dining table. She asked when she saw Jiwon smiling like an idiot,
Yeeun: Something good must’ve happened, huh?
Jiwon who realized Yeeun had already woken up, replied.
Jiwon: Eo… something VERY good.
Yeeun: What is it?
Jiwon shyly replied and showed her the video of her and Sungmin that went viral. Yeeun who saw the video blurted,
Yeeun: Aaayyy, who is that?! Why so cheesy?
Jiwon’s eyes widened in shock as Yeeun couldn’t recognize that the couple in that video is Jiwon and Sungmin. Jiwon responded,
Jiwon: Ya Jung Yeeun, you don’t recognize who those two people are?
Yeeun shook her head and said,
Yeeun: I don’t know.
Jiwon shook her head in disbelief and said,
Jiwon: It’s me.
Yeeun got startled at Jiwon’s answer, and she exclaimed in shock,
Yeeun: What?!
Yeeun snatched Jiwon’s phone and tapped the replay button on the video. Her eyes goggled as she recognized the couple in the video.
Yeeun: Daebak, I didn’t know you guys are that open in public?
Jiwon: Well… what do you expect, it’s me. Song Jiwon,
Jiwon laughed at her own statement. Yeeun who didn’t want to hear Jiwon bragging off further, went into the bathroom to shower. She had to get ready for the meeting.
Kang-Eonni’s Apartment
Kang-eonni has been studying fashion communication for about a year and a half now, and she’s doing pretty well in her studies. She didn’t expect that her old self who used to splurge on branded fashion items could help her in proposing great ways to deliver fashion brands.
Although all her fellow friends in the major are much younger than her, she didn’t mind it at all. In fact, they all look up to her who seemed to have a good understanding of the industry already.
Since holiday is approaching, Kang-eonni wanted to find some internships at fashion brands’ stores. She scrolled down the job-finding search page and stumbled upon an internship ad that says, ‘YSL Assistant Store Manager Internship’.
When Kang-eonni read the internship description, she told herself,
Yina: Ya… This is the perfect opportunity for me.
Kang-eonni clicked on the apply button at the end of the page and sent her CV to accompany her application.
Belle Epoque
11.47 a.m.
Eun went inside her room after a late morning shower. Since it’s Saturday, she doesn’t really have anything to do. Eun sat down on the wooden chair and scrolled down her chats. She thought, ‘I really have no friends.’
Eun sighed in disappointment as she had to face the rest of the day with no activity. Suddenly, her phone rang from an unsaved number, but the call came from a 010 starting digits, so it must be a local caller. Eun picked up the phone rather hesitantly and said,
Eun: Hello?
There was no answer, so she tried again,
Eun: Hello? Who is this?
At that moment, a reply came from the other side, it was a guy’s voice. Eun could hear him clear his throat first and said,
Man: Eo. Eun-ah, it’s me.
Eun could recognize the voice right away. It’s the voice she’s too familiar with.
Eun: Seo Janghoon?
Man: Eo. It’s me. Hey, I think it’s gonna be a quick call, so I’ll let you ask a few question.
Eun: Arasseo… How’s the first week?
Janghoon: Oooff, I was almost late last week when I came back to the base, but thankfully I wasn’t. I arrived at 2.58 p.m, and do you know what punishment I could’ve faced if I was late?
Eun chuckled and replied,
Eun: What is it?
Janghoon answered,
Janghoon: A deadly punishment. I have to-
Eun cut into janghoon’s words,
Eun: Forget it, I changed my mind. I don’t wanna know the details. Thanks so much for calling me and fulfilling your promise.
Janghoon: of course, I’m a man of his words.
Eun laughed subtly and continued,
Eun: After that?
Janghoon: After that what?
Eun scoffed and said,
Eun: I heard Twice came to perform…
Janghoon: Twice? What’s that?
Eun rolled her eyes but smiled shyly and replied,
Eun: Don’t date act like you don’t know!
Janghoon who realized he’s got caught, said,
Janghoon: Well, I just watched. But they weren’t that fun.
Flashback
26th February 2018
Army Senior: Everyone, today will be a rewarding day for us all.
Janghoon’s mate: Ya, I heard a girlgroup is coming to perform
Janghoon who heard his friend’s announcement, commented,
Janghoon: Jinjja?! Who???
Before his friend could answer, the army senior continued his speech,
Army senior: Today, a group of performers will visit the base to perform for us. As you may already know, they’re called…
Janghon frowned his forehead in anticipation, hoping it would be his favorite girlgroup.
Army senior: Twice.
When the senior said ‘Twice’, Janghoon jumped up from his seat and so did his other fellow friends. For one moment, Janghoon thought, ‘Being in the army isn’t so bad after all,’ but he was also conflicted by the thought that Eun might kill him if she found out. He shook that thought off his head and enjoyed the opportunity very much.
As soon as Twice members entered the stage, Janghoon who took the front seat shouted every member’s name and chanted, ‘I love you!’ He definitely had so much fun.
Flashforward – Call with Eun
Eun: Jinjja? They weren’t that fun?
Janghoon: Eo,
Eun: Arasseo. Don’t dare lie, or I’ll kill you.
Janghoon froze for a second, but then he tried to divert the conversation into something else,
Janghoon: But anyway, what are your plans today?
Eun sighed and said,
Eun: I don’t know. I don’t really have friends to go out with. Yej-
Before Eun could properly call her ex-bestfriend’s name, Janghoon advised,
Janghoon: Hm… I think you can try talking to her again. You guys were so close, it’s such a waste to cut off your friendship just like that.
Eun who wholeheartedly considered Janghoon’s advice, said,
Eun: I’ll try.
Just then, she could hear some noise from Janghoon’s end, ‘Ya! Don’t monopolize the phone! Are you the only one who wants to make a phone call?!’ With that, Janghoon said,
Janghoon: Eun-ah, I think I have to go… Good luck! I love you!
To end his words, Janghoon gave Eun a smooch from the phone.
Eun: Eung, arasseo. Talk to you again soon!
Eun ended the call, and then continued to scroll down the list of friends on he KakaoTalk before clicking on the name ‘Yeji’. She opened the chat and texted,
Tumblr media
Eun stared at the messages she sent and locked her phone to wait for a reply.
Tani Next Door
12.15 p.m.
Yeeun met Hochang who was waiting in front of the famous Japanese fine dining restaurant. He looked noticeably dandier than usual. He wore a light-blue colored long-sleeved shirt and a straight-cut chino with a pair of boat shoes, looking like he’s more ready than usual to formally greet Yeeun’s parents.
Yeeun: Hochang-ah
Hochang who realized Yeeun’s presence, greeted her cheerfully,
Hochang: Eo, Yeeun-ah!
Yeeun: Are you ready?
Hochang: Yeah, why not!
Hochang held Yeeun’s hand this time and went inside the restaurant to wait for Yeeun’s parents to come. Yeeun and Hochang have ordered the food they wanted to have as soon as they arrived, so when Yeeun’s parents come, they didn’t have to wait anymore.
After waiting for about 15 minutes, both Yeeun and Hohang cold hear footsteps from outside the private room. They both shared a glance in acknowledgement that the parents must have come.
True enough, the usher who was wearing traditional kimono opened the sliding door and knowing that, Hochang and Yeeun stood up to show their respect. Hochang’s heart beat so fast all the sudden, it was his first time meeting a girl’s parents. The only ‘parents’ he’d personally interacted with were his friends’ parents in high school.
He didn’t have a clue on how to ’win’ the hearts of the girlfriend’s parents, but thankfully he did learn from the stories that his sisters shared after they had a meeting with their husbands’ parents.
As soon as Yeeun’s mom and dad went in, Hochang shook dad’s hand and did a 90° degree bow to both parents. Thank God, it wasn’t so awkward from the very start.
When the sashimi, sushi, ocha and some other dishes came to the table, shortly after the four were seated, mom decided to open the conversation,
Mom: So, I’ve heard a little bit about you from Yeeun. I heard you’re currently taking computer engineering studies?
To this, Hochang replied,
Hochang: Yes, that’s right. I’m currently in my final year, just like Yeeun.
Yeeun could see that her mom was still not highly satisfied, but she kept quiet because speaking could only make her feelings worse.
Mom: Alright, so what do your parents do?
Hochang paused for a while and Yeeun who understood Hochang’s family condition, looked at Hochang in sympathetically. Hochang responded,
Hochang: My father unfortunately have passed away just 2 years ago due to stroke, but he was an architect. My mother is a housewife.
Yeeun’s mom and dad who didn’t seem to show interest at first, suddenly gave him one, because they also felt sympathetic.
This time, dad asked in place of mom,
Dad: Stroke? How long did you find out before he passed away?
Hochang didn’t know why that question was asked, but he replied honestly anyway,
Hochang: Honestly no one really knew that he had stroke. He was such a passionate and hard worker as an architetct, so nobody realized he was that ill. Truthfully, as his only son and as the youngest child, I feel very much responsible, and I should’ve known about that sooner.
Yeeun’s dad knew best about stoke and internal illnesses, as he’s a specialist doctor. Although he may seem tough from the outside, he knew exactly how patients’ family members feel to lose their loved ones. Dad replied,
Dad: It shouldn’t be a burden for you. As a university student, you just need to focus on your studies and make sure that you can guarantee yourself a position in the dynamic and competitive workplace.
Hochang who carefully heard dad’s input nodded and hummed in agreement. Dad then continued with the ‘investigation’ to get to know more about Hochang.
Dad: So, have you had any plans for your career? What kind of jobs or positions are you aiming for?
Thankfully, Hochang knew exactly where his passion is, and he knew what kind of job he was going to apply for as soon as he graduated.
Hochang: Well, I have a keen interest and understanding about software programming, and I definitely have paved my career direction towards that field. I also had a quick internship at a prominent technology company last year during the summer break.
Mom and dad showed their satisfaction at Hochang’s answer. Truthfully, they didn’t really want to know much yet about Hochang, because they knew Yeeun was still too young to even consider building a family. Most importantly, Yeeun’s parents honestly wanted to make sure that Hochang is dependable enough to guard Yeeun and make sure she’s safe.
Yeeun who had been quiet since the start of the meeting, finally opened her mouth to share her thoughts,
Yeeun: Mom… Dad… there’s something I really want to tell you about Hochang.
Suddenly, the three people round had their attention on her,
Yeeun: If you care about me and how I truly feel, I am very happy with Hochang. Do you know how secure and safe I feel whenever I’m with him?
He always made sure I walked inside whenever we walk on the streets so I don’t get hit by vehicles passing by easily.
He let me express myself as who I am without having to pretend to be a person that I’m really not.
I very much appreciate his effort to design an electric buzzer for me so that I can defend myself from potential proprietors, he even made sure that I have an emergency application installed on my phone, so I can instantly push the emergency button if there’s something wrong.
The parents were a bit taken aback by Yeeun when she could utter the words she just said without fear. It’s been a long time since Yeeun last expressed her feelings so openly like that in front of them.
Mom and dad looked at each other before showing each other a certain sign. It wasn’t clear what it meant, but for now, Yeeun and Hochang could calmly accept the fact that they have both accomplished the parents meeting phase. That’s the most important thing,
Sungmin’s Car
1.32 p.m.
Sungmin was on his car, driving from his apartment going to pick Jiwon up for a weekend meet up. They have only been separated for less than 24 hours, but it literally felt like forever, Sungmin had a thought, ‘If only Jiwonie lives with me, I won’t have to act so crazily like this.’ Crazy for what? Well… Jiwon isn’t the type who shows her feelings to anyone easily, and the kind who’s capable of not meeting her boyfriend for a whole week without a problem. Sungmin knew well enough that he’s not the type to beg people, but in order to meet Jiwon, he had to.
Every time Sungmin says ‘I miss you’, Jiwon would only reply, ‘Yeah. I know’ and that’s it. But honestly, Jiwon is that dense, she didn’t understand metaphorical statements. By right people should know that when a boyfriend says ‘I miss you’ that means he wants to meet the girlfriend and ask her out, but Jiwon is a rare case.
Sungmin who was bored, turned on the radio. It was a sunny Saturday, a little bit chilly on the weather, and the DJ who hosted the radio show was talking about the type of boyfriends millennials are dreaming of these days.
DJ: Listeners, nowadays, millennials like relationships that are straightforward. And unlike in the past, millennial couples aren’t conservative anymore. So they’re not scared in showing public display affection. So for guys out there who are wondering, ‘what kind of guys do girls want,’ here are some answers.
Just yesterday, a cute couple video was posted online. It has now reached 80,000 views and it basically showed a guy and his girlfriend kissing passionately through the bus window.
Just when Sungmin heard of the description, he got reminded by what he did with Jiwon the day before, ‘what is this?’ Sungmin thought. ‘Do other people actually like to do those things too?’ At that point, Sungmin didn’t know the video that’s discussed was in fact his.
DJ: So what’s the point? The point is actions speak more than words.
Belle Epoque
1.48 p.m.
Sungmin reached the outside of Belle Epoque and he called Jiwon to notify his arrival. In just a couple of minutes, Jiwon who looked so pretty in her parka coat and jeans, got into Sungmin’s car. They greeted each other with a peck.
Jiwon: Have you eaten lunch?
Sungmin: Eo. You?
Jiwon nonned.
Sungmin: So, should we go now? Movie theater?
Jiwon: Yess! I can’t wait to watch that movie together..
Jiwon laughed as she imagined the scene that she saw in the trailer. What movie were they gonna watch? It’s the movie Yeeun and Hochang watched 2 weeks before on Valentine’s Day.
As the car accelerated and went onto the high street, Sungmin asked,
Sungmin: Jiwon-ah, I’m asking you cause I’m curious…
Jiwon looked at Sungmin to listen to what he’s about to say.
Sungmin: Is the bus kiss that we did yesterday done by many people? Cause I just heard on the radio that a bus kiss video had been watched over 80k times.
Jiwon’s eyes widened as she was shocked that Sungmin didn’t know.
Jiwon: Sungmin-ah, you didn’t know?
Sungmin: Didn’t know what? That the kiss is a popular thing? That’s why I’m asking you.
Jiwon: Ya, are you sure you’re calling yourself an aspiring journalist?! How can you not know that the video is our video?
Sungmin: What do you mean our-
Sungmin suddenly processed what Jiwon said,
Sungmin: Mwo?! OUR VIDEO?!
Jiwon: Eo.
Sungmin: Someone took a video of us yesterday?
Jiwon nodded.
Jiwon: I thought you knew already, that’s why you asked me out on a date~
Sungmin was silent, but then he said,
Sungmin: Wh…where is it, the video?
Jiwon: I’ll show it to you when we reach the theater.
In the theater after buying the tickets and snacks…
Jiwon and Sungmin sat on the sofa and then Jiwon showed Sungmin the bus kiss video on her phone.
Jiwon: Sungmin-ah, here
Sungmin looked over to Jiwon’s phone to watch the video. After watching it, his lips stretched so widely as he couldn’t contain his shyness over what he actually dare to do in public with Jiwon. Sungmin being Sungmin, he tried to not show his happiness inside,
Sungmin: But is this even legal?! Aren’t they supposed to ask us permission?
Jiwon replied,
Jiwon: Why? I’m so happy that people actually like our cuteness.
Jiwon tried to pinch Sungmin’s cheeks, but he pulled back. Instead, Sungmin pinched Jiwon’s cheeks back. They both laughed as they realized what they’re doing.
Announcement: Theater 5 is now open. Audience who hold the tickets to theater 5, please proceed to the theater. Thank you.
Jiwon and Sungmin got up from the sofa and went inside as they heard the announcement.
Belle Epoque
3.00 p.m.
Eun was still in her room. Her boredom still lingered as she literally had no one asking her out that day. She exited the room and found Eunjae who was coloring her nails. Eun commented,
Eun: Eunjae-ya… Mwoya, you color your nails?
Eunjae who realized of Eun’s presence, answered in cheerfulness,
Eunjae: Eo! Eun-ah, do you wanna do it too?
Eun hesitated for a while, but she thought it would be fun too, since she almost never colored her nails. As she sat down on the living room carpet, Eunjae told her to pick any color she wanted. She chose a pastel pink color.
Without Eun realizing, a notification came on her phone. It was from Yeji.
Yeeun’s House
3.10 p.m.
Yeeun’s parents just reached home and they sat in the living room. The helper delivered them Chinese tea for afternoon tea. Mom and dad took a sip and mom said,
Mom: Yeobo, what do you think of Yeeun’s boyfriend, honestly?
Dad: Well, personality-wise, I think he’s fine. He looked like a good student, and he knew where he wants to go career-wise. But I know one think doesn’t really support our family legacy.
Mom knew exactly what that meant. Hochang’s family isn’t influential enough to be included in Yeeun’s family.
Dad continued,
Dad: But one this I see is that Yeeun is happy being with that kid, and the fact that he even designed an electric buzzer for our daughter’s safety actually shook my heart as a father.
Mom sighed,
Mom: I know and I agree to all that you said, but isn’t family background the most important thing in here? If we let Yeeun continuously be with that kid and ends up not being able to separate from him, what are we gonna do, then? I think it’s better to tell her now that they should stop meeting one another.
Dad surprisingly agreed, and nodded as his wife explained her opinion on the matter.
Movie Theater
In the theater, in the middle of the movie…
As the movie showed the mature scene between the male and female leads, Sungmin looked over to Jiwon who’s sitting on his right side. His eyes blinked nervously and then diverted his eyes on the seat in front of him and not on the screen.
Jiwon, on the other hand, seemed to enjoy what’s played on the screen while munching on the popcorn on her lap. Jiwon looked at Sungmin who wasn’t paying attention to the movie and held his right hand. Sungmin noticed what Jiwon was doing. He smiled, while caressing Jiwon’s left hand.
When the movie wrapped up, the two exited the theater.
Jiwon looked happier than usual after watching the movie, everyone could guess it ended beautifully. On the way to the parking lot, she talked about the movie and asked,
Jiwon: What do you think? Mr. Grey is soooo romantic, isn’t he?
Sungmin: Well, is there a more romantic guy than me?
Jiwon chuckled and hit Sungmin as she couldn’t hold Sungmin’s super sweet talk. Sungmin pushed a button on the car key and unlocked the door to his car. The two went inside and left the building.
Jiwon turned on the stereo and stared at the clouds above that seemed to be moving together with them. The sky was naturally painted in gradient of pink, purple, and orange, as the sun was about to set and the night was approaching.
Sungmin hardened his grip on the steering wheel as he gathered his guts to ask Jiwon carefully,
Sungmin: Jiwon-ah
Jiwon changed her attention from the sky to Sungmin,
Jiwon: Hm?
Sungmin: Do you want to eat ramyun and then go?* (T/N: Netlix and Chill)
Hearing this, Jiwon smiled and laughed saying,
Jiwon: Sure.
As Sungmin heard Jiwon’s answer, Sungmin took a deep breath as he was going to be prepared for it.
Sungmin’s Apartment
Sungmin keyed in his passcode and let Jiwon see it.
Sungmin: Remember this properly, okay?
Jiwon was a bit startled at the fact that Sungmin is letting her know the passcode to his place,
Jiwon: Sungmin-ah, are you sure????
Sungmin: Since when have I not been sure if it concerns you?
Jiwon nodded and her eyes was stuck on the keypad as Sungmin entered, ‘1236’. The door to the apartment opened and Sungmin let Jiwon enter his place first before he followed inside. 
Jiwon hooked her bag strap on the coat hanger in near the living room and blurted,
Jiwon: Where’s the ramyun?
As Sungmin processed Jiwon’s question, he frowned and put on his confused face,
Sungmin: Ramyun?
Jiwon replied,
Jiwon: Didn’t you offer me to eat ramyun before going home?
Sungmin sighed and clenched his fist at his girlfriend’s ignorance. He couldn’t believe Jiwon who confidently called herself the master of ‘mature activities’ didn’t know the meaning of ‘Do you want to eat ramyun and then go?’
Sungmin held himself back and headed to the kitchen as he prepared two packs of Kimchi Ramyun for the both of them.
While Sungmin was cooking, Jiwon approached the fridge to take a look at the fridge contents. Jiwon’s eyes widened in awe as she saw what’s inside Sungmin’s fridge.
It was full with containers filled with home-cooked food, not to mention bottles and cans of mineral water, soju, and beer filling up the door. Jiwon commented,
Jiwon: Sungmin-ah, you sure do eat well, don’t you?
Sungmin smirked,
Sungmin: From now on, will you be willing to eat more often with me? You see, my mom sent me all those food just for me. It’s such a waste cause I can’t always finish them.
With Sungmin’s request, Jiwon asked back nonchalantly,
Jiwon: Can I bring the girls too?
*Goat sound*
Sungmin paused and hesitated before responding,
Sungmin: …. Forget it.
‘It’s not that I can’t finish all the food my mom sent. I was asking so that I can meet up with you more with no special reason,’ Sungmin thought internally. ‘How can my girlfriend be this clueless…’
Sungmin put in the flavoring from the packets and stirred the ramyun as the water was boiling inside the pot. After that, he turned off the electric stove and sprinkled some chopped spring onions on top. He asked Jiwon,
Sungmin: Jiwon-ah, can you take the Kimchi and radish from the fridge?
Jiwon: Hm, okay. What else?
Sungmin: 2 bowls and 2 sets of spoon and chopsticks too please
Sungmin carried the pot and placed it on the coffee table in the living room. He sat down on the carpet before Jiwon joined him.
As the couple slurped the perfectly cooked ramyun deliciously, Jiwon said,
Jiwon: Yaah, this is it! If I’m the expert in somaek, you’re the expert in making ramyun.
Sungmin smiled as he heard Jiwon’s cute analogy.
Suddenly, Jiwon remembered the first time she went to Sungmin’s apartment. She recalled the fact that she and Sungmin were both sitting on the same spot. It’s just that they’re eating ramyun now while they were drinking together the last time. Jiwon opened a conversation as the thought hovered in her mind,
Jiwon: Do you remember?
Sungmin looked at jiwon.
Jiwon: That night when we drank together on this very same spot
Sungmin paused whatever he was doing and silently trying to recall the moment as well. Honestly, it was awkward for him to discuss about it, although they’re a couple now.
Sungmin however replied,
Sungmin: Of course, I remember. How can I not? It’s the moment that set us to realize our feelings.
Jiwon stared at the carpet and smiled as she heard Sungmin’s honesty. She had another question to ask,
Jiwon: That night. Why were you thinking of asking me to have some drinks with you? You know, you’re tnot the kind of guy who ever initiated to ask someone to have a drink together. 
Sungmin now smiled as he remembered the exact reason,
Sungmin: Because I wanted to spend more time with you. It was Valentine’s Day. And I wanted to spend that special day with the woman that I love.
Jiwon moved her brows up as she was touched and cringed at Sungmin’s heart-fluttering answer. 
When the two finished eating, Sungmin washed the dishes while Jiwon sat down on the sofa looking at her phone.
Sungmin finished washing the dishes and brought a couple of mugs filled with mineral water and placed it on the coffee table while he joined to sit next to Jiwon. He extended his right arm on the sofa behind Jiwon’s shoulders and asked,
Sungmin: What are you looking at?
Jiwon showed him the content of what she was reading and replied,
Jiwon: My High School friend is getting married next week on Saturday. She’s inviting me to her wedding ceremony and reception
Sungmin nodded while he drank from the mug. 
Jiwon continued,
Jiwon: It says here that I can bring someone to accompany me. Do you wanna go?
Sungmin raised his eyebrows and asked back,
Sungmin: Me?
Jiwon nodded.
Sungmin thought for a while and replied,
Sungmin: Alright, I’ll come with you. What will I not do for this girlfriend of mine~
Jiwon lauughed a bit and said,
Jiwon: Gomawo
Without them realizing, their faces were already very much close to each other. Both of them gazed at each other’s eyes and Sungmin went to kiss Jiwon’s forehead. Jiwon closed her eyes as she felt Sungmin’s deep affection. Sungmin continued to trace his lips to kiss Jiwon’s nose until his lips touched Jiwon’s. Their instinct and reflex guided them to passionately share a deep kiss and they changed their position from sitting down, to laying themselves down to cuddle on the sofa. Jiwon and Sungmin were both facing each other, with Sungmin’s right hand under Jiwon’s body to protect her. 
Thankfully, they didn’t proceed to the bedroom this time and could hold their desire to not cross the boundary.
No matter how dense Jiwon is, she’s able to show her affections fully for Sungmin in times like that, and that’s what makes Sungmin believe in Jiwon’s true and sincere feelings for him

Eun went back to her room as she had finished painting her nails and talking to Eunjae for a good few hours. She realized that she hadn’t checked her phone, so she unlocked her phone and saw a few messages from Yeji,
Tumblr media
Eun stared at the messages to break down the content. She couldn’t believe that Sooji actually agreed on meeting her again after all the problems in the past. Eun typed her response,

Just like that, Eun locked her phone back and stared at the ceiling while lying down.

Glossary:
Phrase: Do you want to eat ramyun and then go?
T/N: Korean “Netflix and Chill” 
It originated in a movie called 봄날은 간다 (2001). The English title is One Fine Spring Day. In the movie, the female lead wants to invite the male lead to spend the night at her place but she isn’t sure how to go about it, so she ends up suggesting he eat some ramyun before he goes home. “라면 먹을래요?” (Do you want to eat ramyun and then go?”
Once he’s inside and she’s making the ramyun, however, she changes her question. “자고 갈래요?” (Do you want to sleep *together*?)
