#i'm sorry xukun

[saebaragi]

my mom said something like this yesterday, that she didn't saw any purpose in life if she can't make me and my sisters happy for longer that we're unhappy, I told her as a parent her role for us is not making us happy all the time, but be there for us even when we're not. now, I think I have pretty debatable life philosophies, but because you asked, I'll tell you how my mind does this even when it gets in a really bad place. I think life has no purpose. I don't believe in making my time alive worth it or a reason behind being in this world. I think we're just here. simple like that. a lot of people find that depressing, I'm sorry if that's the case for you, but I find that beautiful. we don't have to do anything special and there really is nothing we can't do. sometimes is hard for me to keep going, yes there's days I don't wanna get out of bed, but that's fine. yes I feel useless and pathetic from time to time, but is fine. life is made of moments and these moments will make absolutely no sense more often than not, and tbh that's quite beautiful. sometimes you'll wake up in time to see the sunrise or be outside when the sky gets pink at sunset, and there will be no particular reason for looking, is just beautiful. sometimes your earphones that been working only one side for so long will suddenly work on both sides and you can finally experience that one song that is great on earphones completely, or you can even hear 8D audios of all your favorite songs. sometimes you will dye your hair and discover you can always reinvent yourself and your beauty to make you feel so right when you look at the mirror. I don't wanna talk about other people because when I'm in a bad state of mind I hate that, but sometimes a friend will send you a meme that resonates with you so much you'll remember they see you for real, like, you're a person that exists in their life. that's crazy. sometimes you'll talk in the cold weather and see this smoke coming out of your mouth and I just think is really cool. sometimes you will customize a piece of clothing and get surprised at yourself for doing something so cool. and I think is about that, the little moments. you're not here for any reason but you can find a lot of reasons to stay here. if a meaning is so important to you, you can create one. if is not, that's fine, you don't really need it

I'm very sorry to ask something like this, I've really been struggling with this question, and I wanted to ask the combined wisdom of the people on this site

I would like to know why you keep going, and what drives you to keep living. I know there are a lot of reasons to stay alive and enjoy life, I can think of a few that personally resonate with me, but I really want to know what your reasons are

You do not have to comment on this if that's too big of an ask, and I'm very sorry for asking something like this, I really need someone's help, I feel like I don't have much purpose

Also if I may ask, please don't post any suicidal ideation in the comments of this post, I really can't handle something like that right now

[mcdbrainrot]

ranking nine percent's to the nines album just because

this was so hard to rank omg

#7: RULEBREAKER

first of all, sorry i didnt put the music video, is cuz this is focused on the song, the music video is distracting ok! i was surprised myself that i ranked this #7, i love rulebreaker very much and i'm sure she would be higher here if zhengting had more lines. just kidding (or not), i'm obssessed with rulebreaker, i mean it, don't get me wrong, the only reason shes last is cuz the other songs are just that good. i think rulebreaker is really special and the perfect title track for their debut

#6: GOOD THINGS

this one also surprised me while i was making the rank! i ove good things, shes so sprecious i don't know what i would do with my life if she didnt existed! i love my nine vocalists!! my boys can sing!!!

#5: EI喔EI喔

i think this one is c-fans favourite cuz shes the only one i can still listen to on spotify cuz i found this account that shares songs that are popular on douyin. if thats the care, i see their vision, ei oh ei oh is a great song with a refreshing summer vibe that is just so adictive and mesmerizing

#4: 离不开

talking about songs with distracting music videos, this one is so emotional... is a shame zhengting doesnt have more lines, i'm convinced iqiyi hatewd giving my boy lines, but is whatever ig, shes a really good ballad and i love her

#3: 一起跳舞吧

i have no words to describe my feelings for this one, shes iconic, shes exciting, shes fun, i used to put her on my alarm when i had to wake up early for therapy and it was really cool to wake up to so much good energy

#2: I NEED A DOCTOR

best ballad in the world, queen of the iconic bridges, miss mesmerizing music video, really, i could have putted the mv here but lets not lose focus i can talk abou i need a doctor musicvideo some other time, for now lets talk about how geniously she was constructed, xukun's intro edited like that starts the song already very heavenly, then we have yanjun's beautiful voice right after????? urgh shes (i need a doctor) is historic!!! and dont even let me get started on the brigde, is just too good, sometimes i can't believe this song is real

#1: 了不起的9%

friends and non-friends HER!!!!! as the name of the song implies, this is nine percent being extraordinary, this is nine percent being amazing, this is nine percent showing what they were here for!! i'm very addicted to justin and zhangjing's voices in here, and zhengting opening the brigde is always a promising formula. i love listening to her at the gym cuz it makes me forget that i actually hate the gym and also she never fails to give me a energy boost

[breaking news!] i think we as a society were so much better with nine percent, like, 2018-2019 was the best years of my life, you think is a coincidence? i don't think so. even if iqiyi was kinda homophobic for not giving them more songs i stilll treasure this 7 little ones with my whole being and i'm happy and proud of my 9 boys for all they accomplished since then (and if i wake up in the middle of the night wanting to scream and cry "nine percent pls come back to me" that's like, unrelated)

[mingi-bubu]

I'm so sorry xukun for saying you're keeping ikun humble bc Wang Youshuo fans... girlies it's us against the world*

*him

[blossom-hwa]

She's In The Rain [Cai Xukun X Fem!Reader]

TW // ANGST //

.

.

Huang Y/n, a normal 22 year old girl who had a really good boyfriend... yes... 'Had'....

She dated him for 2 years... just to find out that he cheated on her for all those years. She was just a toy for him.

-FLASHBACK-

"Baby, I promise I will be there with you forever and ever", he said while leaning in for a kiss. "I know that, Xukun" she said before feeling his soft and plump lips on hers. This kiss felt like magic to her. He was like a saviour to her.

After being bullied for days.. which turned into weeks.. to months.. and then to years... she felt that she isn't for this world. Y/n slowly lost her hope to live.. hope to love.

Just as usual, Y/n was being bullied again in the corridor by the students when he came in and saw her.

"Y/N!!" he rushed to her and bent down to her level, seeing her cry.

"LEAVE MY Y/N ALONE!!" he yelled at the people bullying her. They roll their eyes and go back to their respective classes. "Y/n... did they hurt you a lot.?".. No response.. "Y/n.. I am asking you something" he said softly, trying to take a glance at her teary face. He looked at her with eyes full of concern "You don't need to think about them again, hmm? Tell me whenever they trouble you like this". She nods weakly. Flashing his gummy smile at her he picks her up. "Come let's go home". She nods and they go home.

She felt safe with him... comfortable with him.

Time passed and she kept on falling for him more as the moments passed. Little did the innocent Y/n know... she was just a bet for him. He cheated on her for all these years and when Xukun confronted her about this... she broke. She broke into pieces. Her heart was shattered in millions of bits.

-END OF FLASHBACK-

All these memories of what happened yesterday were flashing in her mind as she kept on driving to the highway late at night when no signs of any creature were there.

Y/n stopped her car on the highway after chasing the moonlight. She picked her phone to see 20 missed calls from "The One ❤". Letting out a silent scream, she opens their texts and types....

"Dear Xukun,

You were there for me every time I was in trouble. Protecting me from the bullies looked like your duty.

I guess I troubled you very much all the years you dated me. Don't worry... I won't be there to trouble you now.

I am just dropping this here to at least inform you that you don't have to call me up or text me after this and if you still care for me... Don't. I am going to be in a better place... where I should've gone before but you always stopped me from going...

Thank You Xukun for protecting me and giving me the best 2 years of my life by giving me your love... even if it was fake. Thank You....Take care of you and the love of your life... don't do what you did to me to anyone else...

Goodbye.

Yours,

Y/n"

Looking at the 'send' button she shivers due to nervousness... but she had to click it after all and that's what she does. The text gets sent and to her fortune... or maybe even misfortune... You never know what it was but Xukun saw her text as soon as it reached him.

Getting panicked after reading the text he texts...

Xukun : "Y/N!! WHY ARE YOU SAYING THIS?!"

Xukun : "WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!"

Xukun : "Y/N ANSWER ME AND STOP LEAVING ME ON 'SEEN' "

Y/n : "Why do you even want to know where I am?"

Xukun : "Because I still care..."

Xukun : "....They forced me to end this... end us"

Xukun : "Please understand this Y/n..."

Xukun : "Send me your location"

Y/n : *sends the location* "I guess it's too late Xukun"

Xukun : "It's never too late Y/n... Just wait there I am coming"

*seen*

Y/n plays the song in her car...

"Sorry I’m an anti-romantic 달아나고 싶어 저 멀리 이미 널 쫓는 내 마음이 작은 불씨로 타올라

Sorry I’m an anti-romantic 더는 믿지 않아 romantic 내 맘 전부를 다 불사르고 까만 재만 남게 될까 두려워"

Tears fall down her cheeks as she thinks about all the events which took place yesterday at Xukun's house. She thought he was the one, the one she would stand before on the altar and say your vows, eyes sparkling, 'til death do you part. She let out a shout as she reviews seeing those messages, out within the open with nothing to stow away, they were sending to somebody else. Those intimate subtle elements and sincere minutes ,that she thought were hers and hers alone, were being shared with somebody superior looking, wealthier, and way better than her in all conceivable ways. With each single "I love you" she numbered, the cut in her heart burrows more profound, pushing until her heart parts into two.

Racing out of Xukun's apartment, the "I'm Sorry" and "You know that you are the only one I love" grabbed her by the wrist in the hope that she won't leave. The feelings Y/n had in her heart were telling Y/n to give him a second chance but the knife of doubts stabs her again. She doesn't know what to feel anymore. She wanted to go... go away from everything. She wanted to be alone.

As the song ends she exits the car in the heavy rain which made her tears unnoticeable and stands at the edge of the highway... admiring the scenery for the last time... Thinking about the fact that she is actually going where she always wanted to go all these years...

Y/n startles upon hearing her name from a somewhat familiar voice... him...

"Y/N!!" Xukun shouts making it easy for Y/n to hear and notice his presence. "Xukun... so you really came..." Y/n stares at him while smiling the sweetest smile... which was, unfortunately, fake. She lost her smile after yesterday. "Of course I would come... and what are you doing at the edge?". Y/n smiles sadly and chuckles... "You'll know very soon, Xukun" "What do you mean?" Xukun looked in her eyes confused. "Thank You Xukun for showing me your love.. Goodbye" she said with the sweetest smile she could fake and jumps off the edge.

Xukun stood there frozen, not knowing what he could do... now, could've done. He fell on his knees from disappointment and tears flow down his soft cheeks. "Y/N-AH!!" he cried and yelled, hoping for her to come back. But it was already too late for him to get his love back...

Nine Percent 3rd Year Anniversary Scenario

Yes, yes, I know, it's been 3 days since their actual 3rd year anniversary. Yes, I had a brainfart and knew that I forgot something and didn't realise until late at night (like 10pm or 11pm). But hey, better late than never, right? RIGHT?! (My inner self: funny). Anyways, I wish them all nothing but the best for both their career and personal life. May they be able to do whatever they want and not be judged or be commented anything negative. Alright", scenario time!!

Pics are from: @ninepercent._.forever on Instagram

Cai Xukun

A.N: yes, yes, finally got some more soft pics uwu, thanks Aliya, okie" scenario

I imagine that you were rushing to get this limited edition record/album from your local music shop because not only was it limited edition, but the artist also signed them personally and not the ones where they just copy 1 signature for all the copies but they actually signed them with a pen and all but no one knew about it because they just came out with it but you were lucky because you had a friend working at the music store. You immediately texted your friend, telling them to keep one for you as you were now rushing out the door in your hoodie and sweats with sandals.

Upon arriving, you were wondering where your friend was since you just wanted to pay for the album and leave. You quickly texted your friend which they mentioned that they had to run a few errands for a bit since it was exactly lunchtime when you came.

Sighing, you decided to just look around but stopped at your tracks when you saw none other than Cai Xukun, the very artist whose album you asked your friend to keep. Not wanting him to notice what a mess you look, you hid behind the shelves and peeked through, observing what he was doing. It wasn't until Kun suddenly called you out that you completely blew your cover.

"You know, I'm not that scary to approach" Kun blurted, not moving his gaze away from the albums

"I--I'm sorry, I didn't mean to st-stalk you. It's just that, I'm a fan and I'm waiting for my friend, they work here and I've asked them to keep one of your albums that you personally sign and, what am I even saying?!" you blabbed, covering your face with your hands and hoodies

"I can sign it specifically for you, if you'd like" Kun smiled, looking up to face you

"Oh my, yes, umm, thank you so very much" you blurted, bowing at him

"Relax. You don't have to bow. C'mere, we can take a picture as well :)" Kun exclaimed, nudging you to go there

and let's just say, you and Kun had a nice lil chat after your little meetup session whilst waiting for your friend to come back. You also made a lil note to thank your friend for leaving

Chen Linong

For this one, I imagine that you, Nongnong and some old school friends were going on a road trip together and stayed in an Airbnb. During the first night, you were supposedly sleeping with your friend (girl) but that night, you guys just finished watching a horror/thriller movie (which you just cuddle up in Nong's arms since you were terrified, if you actually like watching horror, just pretend that this one terrified you quite a bit). After the movie, you couldn't really sleep and it was already nearly 3 in the morning that you went out of your room and to the kitchen to grab a light snack and heard some footsteps.

Scared, you unconsciously grabbed the kitchen knife and turned around to face the person that crept up on you; which turns out to be Nongnong. He immediately held his hands up in defeat but the same time chuckling on why are you holding a kitchen knife. You shyly admitted to him that you couldn't sleep because of the movie you watched; it also didn't help that your friend sometimes talks in their sleep.

Humming, Nongnong asked if you didn't mind sleeping with him. He said that he'll definitely make sure that you'll be asleep before he sleeps and he also suggested that you guys watch some cartoon. Since you and Nongnong have known each other for years and occasionally have sleepovers (of course in different rooms), you didn't mind sleeping with him since back in high school, you had a trip and you slept on his shoulder whilst being on the bus.

Because you were also quite tired and really wanted some rest, you agreed and the both of you went to Nongnong's room. Nongnong then allowed you to sleep on whichever side of the bed as he grabbed his iPad and opened your favourite cartoon. In a matter of a few episodes, you were finally asleep and Nongnong tucked you in before patting your head and sleeping as well.

In the next morning, you woke up surprisingly well. You didn't know if it's because you were watching cartoons with Nongnong or that it was just Nongnong in general making you safe. You decided to head to the kitchen to grab something to drink but then your friends teased you to call your "boyfriend" out to have breakfast all together.

You then blushed and head back to the room, seeing Nongnong yawning as he sat on the bed, asking you if you had a good night sleep which you nodded and told him that the others are waiting for you both to have breakfast.

"Did you have a good night sleep (Y/N)?" Nongnong asked, still yawning

"Y-yea, I owe you Nong, thank you" you stuttered, looking away

"Oi, lovebirds!! Hurry up or you won't have any breakfast" your friends teased

"Let's not keep them waiting shall we sweetie?" Nongnong commented, getting up and stretching

"Wh-what?" you mumbled

"Oh, I thought you already know that I like you since I know that you like me" Nongnong mentioned

"Wh-what?! When?! Wh-when did I?! OH NO!!" you blabbed, covering your blushing face

"In your sleep, last night, right before I fell asleep. There's nothing to be shy about. I like you too (Y/N) <3, let's go eat!!" Nongnong exclaimed, grabbing your hand and dragging you out of the room

Fan Chengcheng

For this one, I imagine that you and Chengcheng were friends in high school. You knew him since back in junior high and while your first impression of him wasn't all that good since you thought he'd be a spoiled brat since he came from a wealthy family and the younger brother of one of the country's famous actress. But as it turns out, he was very hardworking despite not paying that much attention in class.

A/N: let's rewind a bit how you both got close

You were stuck as his lab partner for a whole year back in junior high which at first you didn't really want to since you knew he didn't pay attention in class that much and you'd worry that in the end, you'd have to do all the job while he just gets the credit. But nope, big mistake.

As soon you were paired up, Chengcheng didn't waste time asking for your contact after school and told you that you guys should stay at the library after school on the day of your lab so you can get the job done that day as well. Now, to say you were amazed was an understatement. You were practically impressed that Chengcheng understood most of the job and even concluded the paper.

But one time, you guys had to stay at the library till late at night and Chengcheng even ordered food the minute he heard your stomach grumble (cue you being embarrassed). Afterwards, you guys just talk over things like your likes and dislikes and Chengcheng even brought you home up till your doorstep. Ever since, the both of you have been inseparable. Well, that is until Chengcheng said he had to leave to join Idol Producer.

It was rough. He wasn't able to contact you since his phone was taken from him. However, you did try your best to send actual letters to him which surprisingly, he received and even send you back some letters as well. You wouldn't admit it but you miss him and actually have a crush on him. You were going to tell him but when he actually made it into 9%, you knew you wouldn't be able to stand a chance against all the other female artists so, you texted Cheng, saying your congratulations and the same time cut off your friendship, to the point you even blocked his number. You couldn't deal with heartbreaks because it was just too much and you really wanted Chengcheng to focus on his career.

Unfortunately, the past few days were not easy for you. It was very painful, especially seeing how happy Chengcheng was in L.A. You're sad and wasn't focused on school at all. But one Saturday morning changed everything for you. You had never been so thankful to be awake so early in the morning until this day.

It's been 2 weeks since you cut your friendship and any sort of communication with Chengcheng and during those 2 weeks, your sleep schedule was a mess to the point that today, you slept at 1 and suddenly woke up at 5(ish) in the morning. You twist and turn yet you still couldn't sleep. Eventually, it was 6 in the morning and you decided to just get up and have an early morning walk to clear your mind.

You got changed and pulled on your favourite coat (which was actually one of Chengcheng's but you forgot) and head out to walk around your neighbourhood. Until you stumble upon a familiar stair walk. It was one where you and Chengcheng hung out after you finished your report and heading back home. The memory caught you off-guard that tears started to stream down your face and you tried your best to wipe them until a familiar voice startled you.

"Are you crying because of stress because finals are in a month or because you haven't seen me in so long? Because I sure as hell miss talking to you, too" a familiar voice exclaimed

"OMO, Ch-cheng?! FAN CHENGCHENG?!" you blurted, whipping your head to see Chengcheng just a few flights below you

"I miss you too (Y/N). It was tough not being able to talk to you through those 4 months and even when I was in L.A." Chengcheng mumbled, walking towards you

"I--I'm sorry Cheng. I didn't want to interfere with your life. I know that you've wanted to become an idol/artist and I know I wouldn't exactly match the people you'll be hanging out, I--" you blabbled until Chengcheng pulled you into a hug, patting your head

"I don't care. Sure, I may meet lots of new people. But no one can replace you. Plus, who am I going to take with me to night markets when I'm hungry and take pretty pictures together with? Of course, that's you!! I wouldn't switch you for anyone or anything in the world. I don't care that you blocked my number because I can always put in my numbers again. So please, don't leave me. Now, let's go have breakfast, hmm?" Chengcheng grinned, pulling away from the hug, smiling as he tucked a hair behind my ear, caressing my cheek in the process

Justin Huang

aFor this, Imma do something slightly different than previous Justin scenarios. So, I'm going to imagine that you're Justin's senior back in primary school. Justin has a vivid memory of what you did for him (which was standing up to the bullies) but you didn't remember him that well since you had a 2 (almost 3) year gap.

*Also, let's say that you were in campus (3rd year) whilst Justin had just turned 19

You were just trying to have a nice "normal" day in school since finals were just right around the corner. Everything was going so well and finals were not bad at all. It was the studying process that was annoying to you because your dorm were filled with either parties or gossips all in the halls whilst the library of your campus was always hogged by random people (like hello? are you here to study or to live here?). Anyways, lucky for you, a small studying cafe just opened near your dorm and so you decided to just stay there and study.

The past few days were nice. The cafe was calm and everyone was either actually studying or chatting (but they weren't loud and unreasonable like those in campus). Until one time, there was this boy, looked like he's in his teens and forgot his wallet to pay since it seemed that his phone ran out of battery. Because the drink was already being made, he couldn't exactly cancel or anything. Sighing, you got up and decided to pay for the boy who turned to bow at you, thanking you. Until the boy looked up and immediately recognised you.

"Eh?! JIEJIE?! It's me!! Just....uhhh, how bout we sit down and talk" Justin softly exclaimed, grabbing you and went to sit back at your table

After a bit of talking, you were taken aback that the boy/junior you helped back then was now this handsome tall young man. The both of you talked quite a lot since it has been years since you last saw each other. The two of you exchanged contacts and Justin proposed that you'd meet up again since he was in town for a few weeks.

But that plan somewhat backfired since Justin couldn't wait to see you again so he just straight up went to meet you since you told him where you lived. Instead of being a "brat" like most kids his aged, he was very polite with your parents, telling them that whilst he was younger, he'll protect you and bring you back before 10pm.

It was nice to catch up with Justin. You realised how mature he is for his age and even had to miss out on normal teen stuff like going out with friends, struggling with assignments and finals together. But Justin said that while he does feel sad for missing out on lots of things, he said that he loves what he does and he learnt so much.

Everything was going well with the both of you until Justin's sasaengs finds out about you. Some made fake accounts, threatening you to stay away from Justin. You know better than to deal with those immatures so you just blocked them from your social media and went on with your life.

But damn the universe is testing you because some of the sasaengs actually go to the same campus as you do. The first few meetings with them were still manageable. But they aren't called sasaengs for nothing. Because it slowly escalated and things got more physical to the point you started to distance yourself from Justin.

But Justin noticed your change in behaviour. He was so fed up one day that he went all the way to your campus to figure out what has made you like this. He didn't care about the amount of ppl suddenly paying attention to him because all he cared about was finding you; which he found you exactly when the sasaengs attacked.

Immediately, he didn't waste any time and called mama Ting, telling him about the sasaengs and have him report them to the police or something. Justin then immediately called out the sasaengs, threatening them and telling everyone who was watching to never bully anyone ever again; regardless of the reasoning.

Justin then took you out of your campus and to the cafe where you guys first reconnect again. He apologised for getting you involved in this mess but the same time that he doesn't want to be separated from you; adding that he'll always be there like you did when you were young.

"Jie, why didn't you tell me? I know you're strong enough to take care of yourself. Heck!! You helped me back in primary school!! I grew up, getting stronger so one day when we meet again, you wouldn't think of me as a whimp" Justin exclaimed

"I never thought of you as a whimp, Justin. But sometimes, you just need an extra hand" you replied

"Look who's talking? But I'm serious jie. Please tell me whenever this happens. I'll show no mercy!!" Justin boasted

"Ya!! Just because you're famous and all, you shouldn't be like, especially towards women" you complained

"Hehehe, it's not that. It's just that ppl should get what they deserve. Anyways, I'm hungry, let's eat!! My treat!!" Justin exclaimed

Lin Yanjun

Help, I miss Yanjun so much :(( but for reals though, I don't want to pressure him or complain much because honestly, I can somewhat understand him since I'm an introvert too. Alright, I don't want to give off this negative energy so let's jump into the scenario :)

Alright, for this I'll imagine that you're visiting Yanjun who's in Taiwan because he was taking some rest. Honestly, you were quite nervous since you had never been to Taiwan and met Yanjun from work (this is a story for another time). One of the main reasons why you were nervous is because you were going to meet his parents and even spend your time living with him and his family when you don't really know their culture that well.

But honestly, there was nothing to worry about since Yanjun's parents heard nothing but good things from both Yanjun and even Zhangjing (since you were quite close with Zhangjing). When you arrived, you tried your best to be polite even though you were very awkward and stuttered a lot. But when Yanjun's sister came, she helped make you feel at home and ease despite being slightly younger than you.

Within hours, you and Yanjun's sister became close and she even shared some embarrassing moments of Yanjun to you (which Yanjun found out and deal with his siter later on). And within days, Yanjun's parents showed no signs of disliking you at all. Instead, you and his mom actually went to the market a few times together and even cooked together.

Time skip to a few days before you have to go back to your country

Yanjun's parents thought that it was a good idea for both you and Yanjun to go out, just the both of you since you had been spending so much time with his family and rarely went out with just Yanjun for a whole day. So, they set things up and made sure that it would just be the two of you; they even went as far as letting Yanjun use the car.

Yanjun already knew where he would take you; the ocean (one of his favourite places to be). When you arrived, you wasted no time and getting out of the car, taking off your shoes and running on the sand, barefeet; which of course, Yanjun chuckled whilst taking pictures of you.

The two of you left your shoes by the rocks so they wouldn't get taken by the ocean and walked hand in hand along the shoreline. Stopping right where the sun was setting and just lean on each other, enjoying the moment, until you noticed your shoes were getting taken by the ocean. You immediately rushed to get your shoes; forgetting that you couldn't really swim that well.

Eventually, Yanjun caught up with you and held you back, reminding you that you couldn't quite swim. Chuckling, he took off his jacket and handed it to you before going towards the ocean to get your shoes.

"Jun...be careful!!" you exclaimed

"I'll be fine (Y/N). You should be careful. I wouldn't want you to get wet and sick later on" Yanjun reminded you

"Hmm. OH!! You got it!! Thank you so much!!" you giggled, jumping a bit

"Hey, hey, be careful!!" Yanjun reminded as you jumped to hug him

"You know, you're similar to the ocean. You're as cool, calm and collective when you need to but the same time you're there whenever people needs you just like how humans need water. You also help people calm down when they feel frustrated. You make me feel safe. You make me relax when I feel nervous" you blurted, hugging Yanjun tightly as you inhaled his scent

"(Y/N)..." Yanjun muttered

"Which makes me confused why would you choose a child-like, hard-headed, weirdo..." you mumbled, but Yanjun shut you up by pecking your lips

"Because, isn't that how magnet works? Opposites attract each other. Though I'd say that we are quite similar in the hard-headed side but at least we're willing to tone that down. But for reals, while I make you calm, you make me excited. You burst me up. You're like a happy pill and I'm addicted to you. Now, let's head back, mom and dad made hotpot for dinner. C'mon, I'll carry you whilst you just hold onto our shoes" Yanjun chuckled as you went on his back, leaning on him whilst talking about where you guys should have a date next

Zhu Zhengting

For mama Ting, I imagine that you have this upcoming show which was your first live stage show. And while you were just a backup dancer, you were still one of the best dancers in Yuehua despite only being hired for a couple of months.

You were so excited and can't wait since you've been practicing very hard the past few days, along with helping Zhengting since he asked you to be his dancing partner for his new mv that's coming out in a month. Speaking of Zhengting, it was him that actually recommended you to Yuehua and him that got you hired in the first place.

Anywho, it was finally showtime and you had just finished getting ready with the rest of the backup dancers. And ofc, you, along with the other backup dancers helped kill the show that the crowd was cheering loudly.

After the show was over, you all took pictures with the artist and a few individual pictures before the stage manager called it a wrap. You then went to go get changed when Zhengting texted you, asking to meet up in the dance practice room you guys normally used.

You told him that you just finished changing and will be there in 10 minutes. Upon arriving, you looked around to find Zhengting and was shocked when he softly called you out whilst holding a boquet of flowers.

"Ting? What's all this? Are you gonna meet up with someone?" you questioned, tilting your head slightly "This is for you!! Congratulations on your first live stage performance!!" Zhengting mentioned, handing you the flowers

"Ahhh, isn't this a bit too much? I was just a backup dancer anyways..." you muttered, looking down at the flowers, avoiding Zhengting's gaze

"Well, you won't be for long. I want you to dance with me, live. Roughly a month or two after the mv comes out. If you don't mind that is" Zhengting asked, scratching his head

"Wh, what? Are you serious?! Like legit? Not joking?! Cause if you're serious then ofc I would love to!!" you exclaimed

"Re-really?! Oh I feel so relieved. I was afraid you'd reject me. I mean my offer. I uhhhh...." Zhengting stuttered

"Relax. I'd never reject your offer. Or even you, Ting. You helped me get this far. Plus, I think I'd be the one to worry if you'd reject me..." you mumbled, fiddling with your fingers

"What?! No, why would I ever reject you, (Y/N). You're pretty, smart, talented, kind. You're an amazing person. If you don't believe me then let's go have dinner, I know you must be starving, c'mon, my treat!!" Zhengting mentioned, grabbing you and dashing off to eat hotpot

Wang Ziyi

For Ziyi, I imagine that you guys were spending the day to the amusement park that was near the beach as well. So, the plan was for you both to go to the amusement park as soon as it opens and ride as much rides as possible before 4pm then head to the beach and jusy chill till dinner time.

You were so excited since it's been so long since you went to an amusement park and beach. Now, the reasoning why you chose this specific amusement park wasn't just because it was right beside the beach. But also where you and Ziyi got to actually know each other.

Let's rewind a bit shall we

So, you guys were high school friends and one time your squad wanted to go to the amusement park so ofc, you joined in. But what you didn't know was that Ziyi (the school's best basketball player) and his squad were also joining (mainly because 2 of his friends and 2 of yours were dating).

Anyways, the whole day wasn't that bad until sometime before you all decided to leave for the beach, your friends sorta ditched you; even when you tried to text/call them. Now, you were left right by the food stands, sitting on one of the benches whilst waiting for any news you get from your friends.

But it wasn't just you that was "ditched" by your friends. Because not long after, Ziyi came and sat beside you, asking if you were also "ditched" by your friends to which you chuckled, telling him that they must've went on other rides. But you were actually grateful that they did. Because now, you were Ziyi's close friend.

To present time

After riding on several rides, you guys went to have lunch at the nearby food court before going back and playing the rides up until it was almost sundown.

Realising what time it was, you asked Ziyi if there were anymore rides he wanted to go on which he shook his head and instead, asked you if you wanted to go on anymore rides. To which you also shook your head. Ziyi then asked if you wanted to go to the beach which u instantly nodded.

But as you guys were walking, you saw a small food stand, selling one of your favourite snacks to the point you instantly rushed over to the food stall and grab some food, nudging Ziyi to hurry and come choose what he wants.

"Ziyi!! Hurry up!! Choose which one you want!!" you called out

"I'm coming (Y/N), don't buy too much things. We need room for dinner" Ziyi chuckled, rushing to your side

"I will always have room for dinner!! Food is life!!" you exclaimed, as you choose your snacks while Ziyi looked at you and chuckled

Xiao Gui

For Xiaogui, let's say that you guys have been friends since young and he would always be there for you since he's always so hyper while you were so shy in making friends.

Throughout your school life till high school, Xiao gui has always been there to help you make new friends and study (ocassionally). Not to mention, you were the one to come up with his nickname, Xiao Gui. But unfortunately he had to leave to join idol producer. But that never stopped you guys from sending each other letters/text (when he got his phone).

Time skip to your university graduation

While Xiao gui was busy with his idol life since he debutted in 9%, you were busy with school and now, after so long, you were finishing your degree.

After the ceremony and getting your actual degree, you and your friends were heading to take pictures. But as you were taking pictures, your friends told you to stay there for a bit whilst they go grab a quick drink.

But as your friends left, you saw a familiar figure, holding a boquet of flowers, heading your way. As they got closer, you realised that it was actually Xiao Gui.

"G-gui? Is that you? What are you doing here? Don't you have an event or something to attend?" you asked in shock

"Of course I do. It's your graduation. You didn't think I'd miss this out now did you? Look at you, dressed up like this. Last time I saw you all dressed up was...." Xiao gui commented

"The day you debutted with the other 8 as 9%" you replied, giggling at the memory

"Yea. You were with me since the beginning even until I debut and now. I'm sorry I couldn't have come sooner but here, happy graduation (Y/N)" Xiao Gui muttered, handing you the flowers

"Th-thank you, Gui. How bout we catch up over dinner?" you mumbled

"Of course, then we can go get dessert at your favourite place!!" Xiao Gui exclaimed, holding your hand as he slowly pulled you with him

"I miss you so much, Linkai" you admitted

"I miss you too (Y/N)" Xiaogui replied, a big grin formed on his face

You Zhangjing

Tbh Zhangjing's one is quite hard but I tried my best :"

Alright, for Zhangjing, I imagine that he asked you to join him to shoot for his new mv which of course you quickly agreed, not thinking twice on where, when and what is it.

You can say that it was somewhat of a mistake since the mv is a more romantic one than his previous mv(s). Not only that, on the day of the actual shoot, you were stunned on how good Zhangjing looked since he mostly wore a baggy T-shirt with sweatpants.

But this time, he dressed up so good that your mind can't comprehend. Even when it was time to shoot, your mind wondered off elsewhere until Zhangjing actually called out to you.

Thankfully, throughout the entire shoot, there were minimal errors and you didn't have to reshoot so much. And it was the final shot where both you and Zhangjing were hand in hand walking together.

Right as the camera was rolling, you were a bit distracted by the scenery of the place you were shooting that Zhangjing had to call you several times which makes you shock but Zhangjing just chuckled and extended his hand out to you which you shyly took, and as Zhangjing faced the other side, you couldn't help but blush to see this amazing view.

"(Y/N)?" Zhangjing called out

"Hmmm??? Oh sorry, the scenery was so pretty that I couldn't help but get distracted" you admitted

"It's alright, c'mon, let's just enjoy the view then" Zhangjing mentioned, extending his hand

"Hmmm. It's nice, we should go out more often" you mumbled, taking Zhangjing's hand then facing off to the scenery together

Once again, happy late 3rd year anniversary Ninepercent!! I wish you nothing but the best and may you always be happy 💕💕

I can be cute too! -Cai XuKun

You were watching Chen Linong's funny moments on Youtube as you chuckled. "Chen Linong is so cute!" Your internal fangirling had begun.

"What are you watching?" Cai Xukun, your boyfriend plopped down beside you and put his hand over your shoulders.

Taking a closer look at the small screen size, he frowned, then looked at you, who was grinning from ear to ear.

'I really feel like a third wheeler' Cai Xukun thought to himself.

"You should be looking at videos of me not NongNong!" His frown deepened as he crossed his arms.

"I'm sorry but you are not as cute as Linong." Your eyes continued to be glued onto the screen.

"I can be cute too!" He whined in a baby voice which made you cringe.

"Stop doing that its so cringey oh my god!" You slightly moved away from him as he grabbed your arm and swayed it left and right.

"No! KunKun is not going to stop until you turn off that video and cuddle with me!" He exclaimed in his baby voice again.

Since you were tired of him acting cute and wanted to cuddle, you obviously placed your phone down.

The both of you cuddled, and not long after, fell asleep.

Xukun ♡ 》 Cold Heart, Warm Smile

Pairing: A career endangered! Xukun x Contented! Reader

Genre: Celebrity Life, Romance.

Maybe everyone would remember Xukun as that one trainee who rised beyond ranks when he joined Idol Producer and even earned him the center position.

Apart that, he managed to own his own recording label at a young age. It felt like he could have everything in the world during that time.

However, some stars were always meant to lose their shine and he had been one of those.

How did it happen? He could not recall but now there were no more promotions, no more calls. Nothing. All he had were memories and his cold heart.

Some people said he loss the passion that he used to have. How it flamed in fires then died than to dust. He became an alcoholic as he tried to cope with his experiences through wine then vodka when he could not afford his tastes anymore.

He spent most or his time at the local cafe where it was inexpensive and where newspapers were allowed to be borrowed. He had to try and get a job which could help him sustain a living.

You always saw him. You were a fan of him and you almost couldn't believe how your idol was sitting at the cafe you worked at.

You watched as a few people would recognize him but most of the customers didn't. You heard the news how he lost his fire and you did notice how when he was alone, he looked so cold and isolated but when someone showed interest in him, he would give one of his warmest smiles.

Or so you assumed.

It was his idol smile...probably not even his real smile.

Who was Cai Xukun and what really happened to him?

You would always deliver him his drinks but never did you once had a conversation. He had been drowning himself in the news section which never made him look up at who delivers his drinks.

You noticed how he was looking at the job postings and wanted to recommend the opening for the cafe but was hesitant to.

You overheard his call one time and it seem like he was desperate for a job considering his landlord was demanding for his rent.

So you tried to man up and tell him about the opening.

At first he gave this judgemental look but then one of those idol smiles. Next thing you knew, he was now your fellow employee.

Maybe you were just observant but he seem to have changed his look the day he started working. It was almost like he never was cai xukun. He wanted to be referred to as August.

That was the first time he heard your name as well since you were assigned to train him.

It was quite difficult since it was like...he had never worked this way at all.

"Do you need help?" You often asked and he would dismiss it and say he was fully capable of learning it on his own.

You were really nice to him but you could not say the same for him.

"I don't get why I need to be trained by someone who isn't that skilled either." You heard him talk over the phone.

Yeah, you made mistakes of your own but at least you never complained about them.

"Well, excuse me for knowing how to be a regular citizen, mr. Celebrity. Oh, that's right...you're not anymore."

Maybe you would regret it the next day. But you were so offended by what he said that you could not care about him.

The next day had been awkward considering how you both kind of made a mistake.

But you did not want to back down. You knew you were not someone to looked down on, not even from your own idol.

You two were minding your own business until a rather difficult customer came.

This customer had always been flirting with you whenever you were at work and Xukun had always noticed how you shifted uncomfortably whenever this certain customer came.

He was a very disrespectful man and he always commented about your body and even if you were not someone to let that happen, you were always scared to speak up around him.

However, the unexpected happened. Xukun pushed you aside and decided to take the customer's order. "Will you be purchasing anything?"

"I wanted to talk to her, not you." The cocky tone in the man's voice made Xukun raise a brow.

"If you aren't ordering, then you can just leave."

"How rude of you, call your manager." The arrogant man demanded and Xukun just smirked at him.

"Do you see those?" Xukun pointed to all the cameras at each corner of the cafe. "Those can contribute to a court case when we file for harrassment and also I had been recording you for a while now." He pointed to his breast pocket which had his phone in it.

"I...I'm never coming back h-here!" Then the man rushed out.

"Thank you..." was all you can mumble and you watched him give you a side glance before proceeding back to work.

Today was a long day so you two got off your shifts a little later than usual.

You were waiting by the bus stop when you saw Xukun stand right next to you.

It was silent...and a little awkward too.

Until you heard him sigh, "Hey."

You looked at him and waited for him to talk.

"I'm sorry for being rude the other day. I crossed the line and...I'm sorry for seeming like I only cared about myself." He said as he looked away.

He may have avoided eye contact but he seemed sincere.

"It's alright. I'm sorry for what I said too...I shouldn't have..."

"It's fine. What you said was true anyway. I'm losing what I used to be so..." he gave this strange smile. A smile you haven't seen from him even if you were a fan. It seemed pained but it also seemed warm.

"I know I'm not in the place to...but maybe it's time for you to find your new self...your present self?"

"How am I supposed to do that?"

You smiled softly and snapped your fingers. "I have a few ideas. Would you be okay with that?"

"Are you going to show me how to live my life?"

"That sounds kind of bad..."

"No. I'm willing to." He nodded and exchanged numbers with you.

You spent the next couple of days going to different places after work.

To the park.

To the museum.

To the carnival.

To the mini book club.

To the karaoke.

Everywhere you had fun in. Xukun seems to have been enjoying himself too. Maybe these were a few places he couldn't go to when he was still a celebrity since everything seems foreign to him.

He offered to take you home as a thank you for the rest of the day. "Hey."

"Hey." You repeated as you laughed.

"Do you wanna go on a date sometimes?" He asked which made you abruptly stop from walking.

"What? Do you mean it?" You blinked repeatedly and stared up at him.

"You got me knowing more about things but not much about you...so yeah?"

It was strange but you two did ended up dating.

It was not as awkward as you thought to be.

Or how it was when you two first met.

Even he knew that his once cold heart was slowly thawing out the more he spent time with you.

Maybe he did lose a lot from his past but having to know you and everything else he was missing out on, that was the real win.

Hey could you explain the tagging system thing you mentioned in the post? I'm confused about the w/e or x member scenario

Of course! Sorry for the late reply; I spent a majority of the day driving from one state to another 😅

I use a lot of screenshots so this post got p long, hence the read more~

(Screenshot of the tags I wrote in this post for reference)

So basically one of the ways tumblr's tagging system works is that if you mention a name or phrase in a post or in the tags, it will show up when you search that name or tag.

For example, I really like the band COIN. I really love their song "Never Change". On tumblr, if I go into the search section and type in "coin never change", there are two different ways to search.

The part I outlined is like using quotations in a search on your web browser of choice. It looks for that specific phrase or set of words.

This is what comes up if you choose the outlined option. Because no one has used that exact phrase in a tag, "coin never change", there are no posts that are available. Tumblr tries to help out and gives you options just in case you've misspelled something.

The non-outlined option is where tumblr takes you if you just hit enter after typing in what you want to search for. This is where my comments come into play. If I just search that phrase, I see this:

I highlighted the words that are seen in my search phrase. Because my search and these posts had those words in common, these posts come up.

I did another search, this time using "coin band" because I already know that I'll find posts about the band this way. This was just to highlight my earlier examples, but much shorter. A tl;dr version essentially.

---

My using "w/e" was just a shorthand for saying "whatever". "x member" was just a placeholder for a name of whichever idol.

Part of my main point in the tags was that writers don't have to use an idol's name or full name when tagging out of fear it won't show up in the tags. If someone were to just put "lee taeyong scenarios" in the tags, the post would appear in the general search for "taeyong" or "lee taeyong" by virtue of his name being mentioned.

If someone wanted to look up the specific tag for taeyong scenarios, then the most ideal way of getting to that is by using the outlined search option pictured above.

The other part of my point was that because of the "just mention it and it will show up" way that tagging works, writers do not need to tag every single member for a scenario or fanfic they have made. The ideal way to tag would be to put the most relevant tags there and let tumblr's search function do its job.

Ex: I write a cute little fluff piece about taeyong. I would tag it with #taeyong scenarios, #lee taeyong scenarios, #nct scenarios, #nct 127 scenarios, #taeyong fluff, #nct 127 fluff

These six tags are enough to ensure that the lil fluff I wrote would appear in any searches for taeyong, nct, or nct 127.

The same applies for fanfic. One wouldn't need to include every single person involved in the story. Tagging for the group, the most important relationships to the main character with whichever members, and the name of the OC would be enough.

In my green rabbit au, if I were to have given YN an actual name, I would tag it differently to how it is now. For this, we'll call them Char Li (lol). I would tag any fanfic I make for this au like this: #cpop fanfic, #green rabbit au, #cai xukun fanfic, #oc: char li, #superhero au

---

I know that this is a lot of post ! I apologize if I confused you more. I just really got into talking about it because the tagging system has had a lot of weird specificities in the past, and not all of the posts that are going around about the tags are up-to-date anymore.

If you have any more questions, or just want to chat, please feel free to swing by again! I can sort-of promise that my answer won't be this long again heh 😅

[yuehuanex7]

whose dog is fuli? cai xukun? sorry i'm new :( and on the douyin videos, is it their song?

Fuli is Zhengting’s dog, Xukun uploaded that photo with fuli because it was his 15 million follower 福利 (fuli) (I think? I can’t really remember)  No need to apologise! It’s hard to just find out these things I know. And yeah the song they’re all doing the same dance to is their song ‘Heart Full of You’ (you can listen to it on Spotify/apple music/whatever)
