Year 5 - Dear our SHINiest angel:

Last year I decided to honor your memory with a letter written to you and I really liked that, so I’m going to make it a trend until I find a different way I want to remember you on your death day. Wow… Five years… has it really been that long since we lost you? It feels unreal to be thinking that. It seems like only yesterday that I was waking up to the news of your death. The pain of it still feels so fresh, though I can only imagine what it must feel like for your members and other loved ones. I know that you’re always on their minds.

It’s been quite a year for your beloved brothers. It started out with Onew making a comeback. You would’ve loved it - it was very Onew without having to be very ballad-y like we’re used to seeing from his solo work. I know you two used to bond over your love for ballads but I think you would’ve approved of him showcasing a new side of himself - the SHINee side. For me, it reminded me of when you released She Is; how it was bright and colorful, super catchy with choreography to match. You would be laughing at hearing all of the new gen K-pop stans that were surprised by this side of Onew because you know as well as us Shawols that Onew is just as capable of releasing a performance song as the rest of SHINee is. That’s the beautiful thing about you, your members, and SHINee as a whole: you’re all multitalented and capable of anything you put your minds to. Onew looked great in the music video and showcased his theatrical side. That would’ve had you laughing, too. That’s another thing you two bonded over: being goof balls together. Onew was your one hyung you had in the group, that one person you could turn to for that Hyung-ly advice when you needed it the most. Yet, I have to wonder if you had still been around for this comeback, if you would’ve been the Hyung in that moment. You and Taemin were the first to make your solo debuts and it comes with a heavy heart that Onew, Key, and Minho had to make theirs after you passed. I’m left wondering if Onew would’ve been coming you on advice for his album preparations. I wonder if you two would’ve sat down together and written songs together that he could’ve included on his upcoming album. On top of that, I wonder if you would’ve gifted any of the members one of your songs like you did with Taemin for his debut album. I know you would’ve done it in a heartbeat because you loved gifting others with your lyrical magic. I can already picture you now: as soon as you found out one of your members was making a solo debut, you would’ve locked yourself in the studios, working on the perfect song that fit that particular member just right. Would it please you to know that now, instead of them being inspiration for you, you’ve become an inspiration for them? Would you be touched? Brought to tears? I like to think so; like to believe that I know so. Key and Minho have both written songs in your honor, and of course we all know that all your members collaborated together to create Our Page, but my hope is that you’ll continue to inspire your members and we’ll get pieces from Onew and Taemin as well.

Next, we had your Bummie and his comeback. Holly fuck, did he rock this one. Everything your members release is amazing but Key truly found himself with this one. You would be so proud at the amount of involvement he had in this comeback. You know better than anyone how outspoken Key is and this album and comeback one hundred percent shows how much voice he had in it. I love that for him and I’m sure it makes you proud because that was one of the things you did as a solo artist, creating five whole albums made up of nothing but your own creations. You were a legend for that. It goes to show how much Key is sticking to his word: “all my actions are the truth of me and all for you.” Key has been speaking his truth, and though the “you” in his message is very nondescript, I believe wholeheartedly that that he’s referring to you - his Jonghyunnie-hyung. Though his artistic style is definitely his own, I can see your influence shining bright in him. He keeps releasing more and more of his own creations. I mentioned this in my last letter to you, but I have such a strong suspicion that you helped him in the past with his song writing. Maybe you were the one that taught him how or worked closely with him when he was still starting out. Maybe you two would hit the studios together and record demos of the songs Key wrote because you were so excited to guide him into the finished result and leave him with an arsenal of songs he could someday use in the future. I’m sorry that you’ll never get to hear the finished results and stand beside him as you witnessed people’s reactions to them. For my own piece of mind, I like to think that there was at least one song of his that you got to listen to before you passed and the praise you gave him after listening to it helped motivate him to keep writing. You would be proud of how far he’s come and how great the songs are that he writes. His title song, Gasoline, was one he wrote and he fought tooth and nail to have it as his title track despite not many voting for it. That was always something you two had in common - your drive to make yourselves heard and convince others that your choice was the right one. I could just see you voting for it, even though you would have no part in the decision making process. Not because you would feel obligated as his group member but because the song is an embodiment of Key and a song he wrote himself. You always created music that meant something to you without caring how others felt because in the end, it was something you were proud of and made with your own two hands. It would make you happy to see Key following in your footsteps.

Taeminnie was supposed to return from his enlistment on November 27th, but his discharge date got postponed. It was a real let down but at least he was able to come visit Key at his solo concert. Late last year, he had to be moved to Public Service because of his struggles with anxiety and depression. I bet it worried your members to see another one of you going through that. I can’t imagine how much it scared them and how all of their minds instantly went to you. I can’t blame them, and I hope you don’t either, for immediately worrying that Taemin would follow in your footsteps in the wrong way. That’s not to say that any of us put any blame on you. I think your struggles, your story, helped show Taemin what happens when you leave your mental health unchecked and don’t put in those barriers to protect yourself from getting in too deep. You’ve shown him how it feels for an outsider to experience losing someone to a battle with depression. In my mind, I like to think that it’s because of you that Taemin spoke out about his mental health troubles and told his superiors so that they may grant him a better way of fulfilling his enlistment. Yet, at the same time, I hope Taemin isn’t completing his new tasks and asking himself the same question that you did: did I do well? I hope he’s not further beating himself up and thinking he’s weak because he couldn’t handle the stress of his original placement. Like we did for you, I want us to send Taemin the message that he did do well. He did well by prioritizing his mental health. He did well by not giving up entirely. He did well by not giving into the toxic masculinity mindset of sucking it up and being a tougher man. You helped with that, you know. You were always battling that toxic masculinity by showcasing your emotions and being vulnerable about your troubles. You were a good hyung to your maknae and even in death, he’s still learning from you. When Taemin eventually returns, we’ll showcase that love for him and remind him how great he is; that he did in fact do well. Just like we did for you. Thank you for reminding us Shawols of how important it is to praise our idols for their accomplishments no matter how small they may be. Taemin admitting to having anxiety and depression was a vulnerable moment filled with trust for us as a fandom to accept that about him instead of shaming him. We mustn’t forget that and let him dive back into idol life without thinking of himself first. I want nothing more than to see SHINee reunite, but above all else I want all of our boys to be happy and healthy before that happens. We are a patient fandom and we’ll wait however long it takes for that to happen if it means we get to have all of our boys together, including you in spirit.

After releasing a couple singles, Minho finally made his solo debut earlier this week. It’s been a long time coming, but like I said, SHINee World is a patient fandom. It was well worth the wait, but I guess you already expected that. You have more faith in your member’s capabilities than I think they sometimes have in themselves. Perhaps that’s another thing you all have in common as the humblest idols in K-pop. You five can never see how hard you work and always claim that you could’ve done better. Yet, when it comes to each other, you can see each other’s efforts and greatness as clear as day, but instead of getting on each other for not believing in yourselves, you build each other up like true teammates. I think Minho could’ve used you in this time preparing for his debut. Not because he’s lacking or needs you there to hold his hand through it all, but because he needs you there to cancel out that voice in his head telling him that everything needs to be perfect. I think that’s part of why it took him so long to get to this point. Minho has all the talent, all the drive and ambition to release a stellar solo album, but his need for perfection holds him back. You know how competitive he is - he’ll want to make sure that whatever he releases gets him some kind of win. He could’ve really used you to be there to tell him that not everything is a competition and what’s more important is that he’s releasing something that speaks to him as an artist. As a fellow selfless person, you know the kind of mindset that Minho walks around with and have laid witness to many of his selfless actions. Himself is never the first thing on his mind and alongside viewing an album release as a competition, you know he’ll be worrying about what the fans will think and wanting to make them happy. You’re a perfect example of a solo artist that didn’t lose themselves in the album making process. When you created your first album, you could’ve easily gone to SM and asked for the album to be filled with the songs they believe will be the next big hit. But you didn’t. You had a selfish moment and created a debut album filled only with songs of your own creation because it brought you happiness to share that part of yourself with the world. I think Minho could’ve benefited from you being there to tell him to be selfish for once and do something that will make him happy. Looking at the final result, I think in the end Minho was able to accomplish that. Even though you weren’t here in person to give him that advice, I think you did help in someway. He included a self-written piece, just like you did, and his motivation to have his album follow the rest of SHINee’s inspired others to create a song that matched the rhyming theme with his title song and album name, Chase. It’s yet to be said, but I believe that the lyrics for the song are a reflection on Minho’s feelings towards losing you. He might not have written it himself, but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t thinking of you when giving directions on the kind of song he wanted to promote and the message he wanted to convey. I believe in thinking of you and SHINee when creating this album was his own selfish moment that he desperately needed. I’m glad that he was able to find that in the end, and I’m sure you are, too. You would’ve been the first one to praise him on how well he did. I hope he can hear it, in his heart, because once again he’s falling into that same humble SHINee mindset that he needs to work harder. I hope when the day comes when all of you can reunite in the afterlife that you’ll be the first one to tell him, and all the SHINee members, that they did well.

It feels right to end this letter talking to you about Minho’s official solo debut because as Minho keeps reminding us, he’s the final piece to the puzzle. SHINee’s solo album collection is finally complete. Again, we have you to thank for this because you were the one to start the trend by “plagiarizing” Taemin’s album design. It was such a silly joke the two of you made at your solo debut party. If only you would’ve known that you were the trend setter in all of this. You inspired Key to follow the same album design when he made his solo debut, and Onew continued it, even though it’s only in Korean that the album titles rhyme. It was still a style choice that they decided to follow because of you. If it weren’t for you “plagiarizing” Taemin, we would never have the beautiful collection that we have now. You were also the one that once said that even when SHINee is apart, you still come together in the end. Like pieces of a puzzle, these albums represent the individual styles, colors, and personalities that make up SHINee. It’s such a beautiful concept and metaphor because really, all of you shine so brightly when you stand alone, but you shine the brightest when you stand together as Shining SHINee. Thank you for “plagiarizing” Taemin. Thank you for wanting to remain connected to your group even when you stand alone. Thank you for starting something that gives all of us, the fans and your members, a way of staying connected to you even though you’re gone. It’s the most precious gift you could’ve given us, even if you didn’t realize the significance of it at the time. Were you always secretly hoping Onew, Key, and Minho would continue the trend? Were you hoping to one day display them all together? I know you would have because your members mean so much to you and you would be so proud of them you just couldn’t help showcasing it. I can picture you taking one of your cheesy closed-eyed selfies with all of them like a proud appa taking a family photo with his children. SHINee is truly a family, a family you helped create, and though you might not be related by blood, a stronger bond ties all of you together. In a way, these solo albums are like a physical representation of what it would be like to be tied together through blood. It was your combined efforts, you blood, sweat, and tears that created this invisible tether that will forever bind the five of you together. You all will find each other again, whether it be in the afterlife or in another life, I truly believe with all my heart that the five of you are meant to be together. Did SM know what they were doing when they placed you five together? Did they know the kind of magic they were creating? It was destiny, and I’m so, so glad to be one of the billions of people that get to witness that. Bonds like this don’t come around that often. It’s beautiful and I’m thankful every day that I discovered your wonderful group. As much as it pains me that you’re no longer around to witness and physically be a part of it all, you are still here in spirit. I feel you in everything SHINee does, both as a group and individually. Your members were right when they wrote their dedicated song for you, Our Page. This page in SHINee’s story has not ended, not even close, and you will stay together until the end. You will never not be considered a SHINee member and SHINee will always remain five. I look forward to seeing your presence in every SHINee endeavor that’s still yet to come, and though these dedicated posts used to bring me much sadness, I now look forward to sharing that with you for years to come. Next year marks 15 years since SHINee debuted, so I know it’ll be a great one. See you next year, our beautiful angel. You did well, and your members are continuing to do well, and it’s all thanks to you.

I second-guess myself every time I try to pick one.

nothing wrong with being a little picky plus you’re writing for your own self satisfaction at the end of the day <3 omgg i can’t wait to read your scoups fics they’re gonna be so cute i just know it!

yay i’m glad it’s a relief for you and i’m sure it’ll feel normal soon :) omg happy early birthday!! i feel honored to be able to write a birthday fic for you i’ll def make sure it’s up to par esp if you give me details i’ll try to include them all to make it a perfect bday present for you <3 i hope i can make you feel more comfortable over time but it’s okay to be shy that’s normal!

240903 Cultwo Show with Chanyeol and Oh My Girl

Cultwo Show thumbnail "Omside Out and Karimi"

each OmGeol member has their respective Inside Out nicknames, and then there is Chanyeol being "Shy"

EXO's visual member who just had his solo debut : CHANYEOL!

CHANYEOL : "When I was preparing the album, I tried my best for them [the members] not to hear it. And when it was finished, I let the members hear it and they all said they liked it. As for Suho hyung, he said that he felt how hard I worked for this album, so his words comforted me. And when I was done with music shows, suddenly, Sehun called me, he doesn't usually call.. he said "I watched your stage" and he said everything was nice, he gave me compliments so I felt really good"

He was asked to give a spoiler about City-scape CHANYEOL : "There's one cover song I will be performing. It's a song you never imagined me to perform! It's really something you would never have thought of. For now it's a secret, so you have to come and check it out!"

City-scape will start in Seoul, where else will you go to after? CHANYEOL : "Starting in Seoul, I will go to Vietnam, Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Japan and Hong Kong. There could be more to be added later on, so please look forward to it. [An all-band live is being prepared] Yes, that's why i'm doing my best practicing with the band and also practicing the choreo these days"

Chanyeol said his body is sore because he danced so much yesterday at King Castle Power FM, so he had a hard time in the morning

CHANYEOL: "[When taking selcas], you must consider what color suits you. I think a blue background suits me the most, so whenever i see one, I take a photo. [Cultwo show's logo is blue] Ok, I'll take a photo there later!" 💙

MC: "Chanyeol actually came to Cultwo show 2 years ago when he was in the military to promote [their musical]. COVID was still a bit prevalent back then so it was a broadcast where they had to wear masks, but he was really so handsome!"

Q: You're already good at singing but for this comeback [debut], you still went to vocal lessons? CHANYEOL : "Actually, I have been taking vocal lessons consistently. I go there every week and do my best"

Singer and Actor Chanyeol gaining new fans 🥹 "I get jealous because my girlfriend likes Chanyeol so much, but through this song [Black Out], I got to like him too! Fighting!" "Ah, so he was that person! I saw this actor for the first time [in The Frog] and he was so good, so I wondered who he was" 🍒 : "I'm really flattered"

Chanyeol went busking in Hongdae before his debut

🍒: Reads comment "Chanyeol-ssi, you look pretty! You can join as Oh My Girl's 7th member" 👨🏻: "Your hair color is also similar with Yubin-ssi's!!" 🍒: "Ah yes! ㅋㅋㅋ i'll join them, thank you!" 👩🏼: "Ah yes, we're honored!"

���🏻 “Chanyeol acted so well in The Frog that I was able to immerse myself in the drama. You looked like Harry Potter.” 🍒Thank you. 👨🏻 I've heard rumors that every time you log into Netflix these days, you feel a sense of unity. "The Frog," has risen to number one in South Korea and number four worldwide. Have any member of Oh My Girl watched it? (They said they’re going to watch and couldn’t before because they were preparing for their comeback) 🍒 Thank you.

👨🏻 Actors Kim Yoon-seok, Yoon Kye-sang, Go Min-si, and Lee Jung-eun, along with other talented actors, what role did Chanyeol take? 🍒I’m the adult version of Yoon Kye-sang's son. I took on the adult Giho character. (👩🏻 suddenly realized that she watched a clip of the drama) 👨🏻The reaction was good. 🍒Yes.

🍒“Woah, I’m watching it (drama) right now, Giho looked familiar, like I’ve seen him somewhere. I was wondering who it was, and it turned out to be Chanyeol.” 👨🏻They’re watching it right now. 🍒Yes, thank you.

👨🏻Reporter Oh: “Ah, it was him. It's an actor I've never seen before, but they acted so well that I wondered who they were.” 🍒 I'm really so flattered. 👨🏻 Did you learn acting separately somewhere? 🍒 When I was young, I learned acting as well at the company. 👨🏻They taught you acting. 🍒Yes. I mainly asked the director or the writer a lot and did it (acting).

👨🏻 Yoon Kye-sang is a senior idol, right? He must have really pampered you on the drama set. 🍒 Yes, but we didn’t run into each other on the set. So, when we met separately, like at the dinner gathering, he really doted on me while calling me “son”.

👨🏻 Did you audition for the work? Or… 🍒I had a meeting that felt like an audition. Honestly, They didn’t tell to come in there, after I looked over the script, I really wanted to do it. I expressed my desire to do it. 👨🏻Oh, so you first (to reach out). Is acting fun? 🍒 So fun. I think I felt a lot more enjoyment in this work. 👨🏻 Is it more fun to be active as solo or acting? 🍒Being Solo is more fun.

👨🏻“As soon as “The Frog” came out, I watched it all. My husband said Yoon Kye-sang’s son is so handsome so I told him that he’s EXO’s Chanyeol, he didn’t believe me. We ended up having an argument. I want to get back at him.” 👨🏻To make her feel better, Chanyeol draw a gift for her. 👨🏻Pull a gift for her Chanyeol. 🍒I will pick it. 👨🏻 There was an argument so Chanyeol will really pick one. 🍒Loaf bread. (They were laughing cuz the way he said it seemed like a curse😂)

FA Cup Semifinals Heartbreak

Sigh...things almost went my way today (as they most definitely did NOT go my way yesterday).

Coventry City. What a glorious comeback. Should that be accredited to how good you were in the second half? Or how gloriously shitty Man United were? Either way, I enjoyed the last 20 minutes of that first half with all my heart. Then, in extra time, when you almost scored but hit the crossbar. Then, when Trop DID score, but Wright was called offside. There was a minute left of extra time and we all thought you had won it, but VAR broke all of our hearts. On to PKs. You had been there before. Last year. Wembley. Against Luton Town. Hoping to get promoted. But Wembley is not good to you. But your fans were so beautiful. They stayed there singing and crying and cheering for you. I immediately went and pulled a light blue nail polish out of my cabinet and painted my nails in honor of your bravery in the beautiful game today.

Do I even mention the other leg from yesterday? How many chances can Chelsea blow? And then, to make me even more sick, there is that image circulating on the Internet of Thiago Silva crying while Noni Madueke jokes around with Jack Grealish in the background. He's beyond embarrassing after that and his petulance (along with Nick Jackson who can't fucking finish a shot in the box for the life of him) over not taking the penalty in the Everton match earlier in the week. I guess the FA Cup Final will be somewhat tasty as it is set to be a Manchester Derby, which, if I heard correctly today, has never happened.

At least Arsenal and Man City both got knocked out of the Champions League this past week. I'll try to ride that high until Arsenal play Chelsea on Tuesday.

Vellichor - A strange wistfulness of used bookstores that are somehow infused with the passage of time.

The smell of aged books hit Kanghyun’s nose when he opened the door to the bookstore. He walked through the aisles, running his finger along the spine. He picked up a book in particular, feeling the added weight in his hands. He opened the book, touching the almost rough pages. He leaned in, smelling the yellowed pages. The scent of age. Kanghyun found a patched couch and sat down, opening the old book and reading until the closing hours.

random astro observations pt 2!!

⭐️ cancer risings aren’t always the most cuddliest and nicest and people centered. They actually might not like children sometimes and they can be selfish. I’m a cancer rising and the thought of children makes me like 🤨 they are also often the first in the families to do something (fame, not having kids, having their own businesses etc.)

⭐️Aries suns are hot. there I said it. Omg. they will keep you up until 8 am. I had this Aries friend and she wouldn’t let me sleep until I stayed up with her til then 😭 very fun and are sweethearts

⭐️geminis— don’t hurt me ik how y’all like the tussle — they aren’t THAT bad. At first they’re quiet then when they’re comfortable they become lil gremlins. They are … annoying yes 💀 but they have the biggest hearts. They will harm you (playfully)

⭐️omg so virgos— I love them my favorite people ever but they have this problem with sharing unsolicited advice!! My god dad and my mom don’t get along bc he likes to try and force (take that with a grain of salt.) her beliefs on her. But she’s also like very fixed so that’s also why. But they come from a good place most of the time.

⭐️Scorpios like to look up things before they do something. Idk maybe it’s because they are just naturally observant but they take their time with making decisions before they act on them.

⭐️hehehe Taurus women are she devils. Yes this is biased. My little sister is so—😣. And she has a Gemini venus. Scary.

⭐️cancer women gossip a lot like they know all the tea— you would think air signs know everything— wait until you meet a cancer woman. She will tell you what happened between Todd and Samantha in the bathroom yesterday 👀

⭐️Taurus moons just want to be loved and understood. They may have a hard time loving themselves.

⭐️libra venus don’t like it when you buy things for them— they feel bad :((

⭐️Gemini moons are cutthroat with their words and comebacks. My cousin has this and we don’t talk anymore.

⭐️cancer moons (🙋🏾‍♀���) are mean too but like they would say things that would actually hurt your feelings. Esp if they bottle up their emotions and keep their observations to themselves

⭐️a person with air and water placements might like anime and or they cosplay. Libra, Gemini, and Pisces moons. From what I’ve noticed.

⭐️I’ve noticed that Scorpio placements tend to stay in toxic relationships for a long time— just to see if they can fix you or bc they hope that you’ll change :( honorable mentions : Pisces placements, Libras,

⭐️Pisces Mc are sooo creative. They like to heal and they might feel spiritually attached to art or healing people. They make great musicians and have a great imagination. (Might do a mc post soon!)

⭐️Pluto in the 6th house might have troubles with sticking to routines or they might be the type to not have issues with their body. They’re always changing and learning. They keep themselves busy so they don’t worry about themselves. But are great at helping others.

Hi auntie, can you explain something? People keep saying they think bts will all enlist together. I have a sad time thinking about the group being partial for many years but isn't it impossible business that they all enlist at once? There is too much money opportunity. Sorry to be crude but jungkook is too valuable to lose 2 years now when he could enlist at 30 when the group is probably not together. It's hard for fans to see them all split but the maknaes all are too popular, and the company makes financial decisions. Thank you

Hi sweetie! I did not want to answer this, especially not today, but new info is important. I have a sad time thinking about it, too. But Seokjin is required to enlist - and his paperwork was due two weeks ago. So even though you sent this ask a couple of months ago I've been holding it until I could address it properly.

I THINK - I don't know for sure - that if Jin enlists, some of or all of the others may go ahead and do it too. Here's why. 1 - If they all go in together, it is very likely that their service will get shortened. Like, it's supposed to be 20 months. Some people get out in less time if their absence causes issues for their work OR if they have enough money and influence to get it shortened. BTS is a perfect candidate for a shortened term. The way Kevin From Itaewon explained this to me is that some kids of government officials get out in just over a year. Because the Korean government is not immune to favoritism, and if there is enough money involved for campaigns, etc., well. It's not unlike the US, that way. And who has more money and influence in Korea than BTS?

Kev told me that he knows one guy who, several years ago, got out in EIGHT MONTHS. The new President, Yoon Sukyeol, is very, very conservative. Like he's right of Trump levels of conservative. And everyone would be watching BTS so it would not be good press to let them out too early, but a token member or two enlisting might be enough to exempt the group if their absence causes enough uproar in Korea. 2. With the already-announced hiatus, we know that the comeback will be incredible, will make huge bank, the tour would sell out of course, and they could have a genuine return instead of years and years of rolling enlistments and less-than-OT7 content. If they wait until Jungkook is thirty, Jin will be 35 years old - not ancient but dang how long do we want the man to wait to have his own life? Same for Yoongi, he's the same age nearly.

3. As of yesterday there is some new info which says there will be a video statement from the members re: enlistment within the next ten business days. Probably it will be released next week. Much like yesterday, the members will tell us what we need to know. I don't think I like it, if that info is true, but I have no reason to disbelieve it as it has now hit K-media in the last 12 hours.

My information before yesterday was that decisions had been made but would not be released much before actual enlistment. So Seokjin and maybe Yoongi might actually be going in ahead of schedule. Hobi and Namjoon would have another full year to get that exemption. None of them would make it to a new President - in Korea they serve a single five year term with no re-election - but they could make it to new legislation, possibly. Unfortunately, the exemption bill is dead in the water and the new legislative term doesn't even start until September.

One thing I hadnt really thought of is that some of the members might WANT to honor their country by completing their service. They've never said, specifically. We want them exempted of course, but none of them need more money. The company wants more profits, but they can't go around the government.

And the government has interests both ways. I guess we'll hear - or not - sometime in the next week.

Broken Mirror (Lee Seoho x Reader)

Pairing: Lee Seoho (Oneus) x fem!Reader

Genre: idk really, a little bit angsty, but I guess it could count as fluff, it’s somewhat a Soulmate!au

Trigger Warning!!: Short mention of blood, death of a character (but they’re reborn)

Summary: Seoho finds a mirror in the attic that seems to show him the life of his soulmate. You come to find the man in the mirror after a long time.

Word Count: 2,508

A/N: I wrote this in February and now catch me fully believing I predicted the Black Mirror Comeback lol. Seoho is immortal in this fic, there is no actual reason for that, I just wanted him to. That’s the power I hold as an author, hehe. Have fun reading :) ~Admin J

Seoho loved exploring and adventure, ever since he was young he was always looking for some thrill in life. One of the places he loved during his childhood was the attic in the house his parents owned. They were part of the upper class and pretty well off, so there were a lot of treasures in the attic. It's where he found one of his most treasured possessions, a broken mirror. He remembered the day that he found this mirror like it was just yesterday. ~*~ Young Seoho was climbing up the stairs to the attic with excitement. Up there the sun was shining through the cracks in the wood and made the dust visible, but something made it seem magical to Seoho. He was debating where to look through today when suddenly he was blinded by light. He put a hand up to shield his eyes and searched for the culprit that was blinding him. A small mirror was laying on a crate and reflected the sun right into his eyes. Seoho was intrigued, he couldn't recall seeing this mirror before. Maybe his mother had brought it up here recently? The young boy decided to take a better look at the small  rectangle mirror. He picked it up and what he saw in there shocked him. Instead of his own reflection he was met with the figure of a girl. She seemed to be running as her hair was moving in the wind. Due to the shock of his unusual sighting the mirror slipped from his grip. It shattered into a few big pieces but all of them stayed in the frame. Seoho picked it up checking if maybe it had just been his mind playing tricks on him, but no there you were again. This time you were standing, head to the side smiling at someone. It seemed like you weren't aware that he could watch you and he felt awkward. He made his way down to find his mom to ask her about the mirror. "Mother what is this?" he asked showing her the small treasure. She inspected the mirror but didn't seem to recognize it "Where did you get this?" "I found it in the attic." His mother shrugged it was a simple mirror, maybe she forgot about it. "Do you not see the girl?" Seoho asked, staring at his mother with big eyes. "A girl? What do you mean? This is a mirror you see yourself in this." Seoho blinked confused, why did he not see himself, but a girl in this mirror? Most importantly, who was the girl he was seeing? Ever since then he had kept the mirror with him at all times.

~*~ Seoho quickly realized that time seemed to move differently for him. He turned older every year but is appearance never changed ever since his 25th Birthday. Many assumed for him to be happy about that, but living a life like his, was hell to him. He had no idea why he had been given immortality, but he hated it. It was a lonely life to live. His family and friends were all dying, but he had to stay on this world, all alone. The only person that was constant in his life was you, the girl in the mirror. Or at least that was what he thought. Occasionally he took glances into the mirror to see you, however it still felt like he was invading your privacy. Usually he looked, when he was sad or nervous, since you always seemed to be smiling, just living your life simple. He could tell your family was from the lower class due to your clothing, but he admired how you were still always happy. Until one day. He was feeling nervous the whole day, he didn't know what it was. Maybe because the country was preparing for a war or maybe it was the still unanswered letter he had send to his friend earlier this month. When he took his mirror, it almost slipped from his hand again. Instead of seeing you, he saw nothing. The mirror was black, completely black. No sign from you nor his own reflection. His heart sank to his knees, not knowing what was going on. Seoho could do nothing about it, but wait and see if the mirror would change and show you again. ~*~ Seoho had been recruited as a general, leading a troop in war. He felt pressure, not for himself, he was immortal after all, but he had the responsibility for a ton of soldiers. There were several other Generals with the same fate as him, they were six in total. The King had personally requested for them, to build an unkillable unit. The six of them grew closer throughout the span of war, Seoho even showed them his treasured mirror, which was still black. Even throughout the war he kept the mirror with him at all times, he looked into it every morning after waking up and every evening before going to sleep. Five years he saw nothing but black in it, until one evening before going to sleep, he could see the face of a baby in the mirror. He jolted upright in his bed, catching the attention of fellow general Youngjo. "There's a baby." he sprinted over to Youngjo holding the mirror into his face. Youngjo chuckled "I only see myself." After his words Seoho checked the mirror again, he could clearly see the face of a small baby. It made a sort of calmness rush over his body, he smiled and lightly stroked his finger over the mirror, as if he was actually stroking the baby's cheek. "Maybe she had a baby?" he lightly said to himself, still smiling. "I doubt so." Youngjo told him and Seoho's head whipped to look at him questioningly. "There is a war going on, almost all men are recruited." his older explained. "Have you ever thought that maybe the person you see in there could be the one your fate is intertwined with?" Youngjo suggested. Seoho thought about Youngjo's words for a while "So do you think she died and was reborn?" "Could be. I guess we'll find out when it happens again, for now just be happy your mirror is working again." It took Seoho a while to fall asleep this evening, but he was feeling happier and warmer than he ever felt in the last five years. ~*~ The war was tiring, no matter how many times they fought it seemed to never end. For years now Seoho had gotten strength from looking at the little child growing up. You had grown into a young teen and Seoho could tell that in this life you were a noble lady. Your clothes were very flashy and fancy. However Seoho could tell you weren't happy with your life. There was a heavy burden on your shoulders, you never smiled like you used to in your previous life. Being born a noble in times of war made you a target. After various long years the war seemed to finally come to an end, not only for Seoho's relief but also the other 5 generals were happy about this turn of events. When the six of them came back to the king they were honored and received a big piece of land completed with a big castle for them. Life in the castle was boring, sure there was a lot to explore but Seoho would much rather explore the mystery that was you. He spent his days painting you, not only the current you, but also the you that he remembered from your past life. "Is that her? The girl from the mirror?" Xion, the youngest of the generals, asked as he was coming across Seoho painting in the garden, while he was on his way to find some fruits in the garden. Seoho nodded, looking at his artwork with a fond smile. "She looks like a noble lady, but why is she wearing these clothes?" the young one asked, pointing to one of the pictures in which he had drawn your previous life. "She wasn't always a noble. This is her second life." Seoho explained. The next morning his heart dropped. When he looked into the mirror as every morning, he saw you cradling yourself with a pained expression. There was blood on you and an arrow stuck to your chest. Seoho wanted to help you so bad, but there was nothing he could do, he didn't even know where to find you. Your actions and cries seemed to die down with time, the color slowly fading from your skin. "Don't close your eyes!" Seoho called out but there was no way you heard him. As soon as your eyes closed his mirror went black again. There were tears streaming down his face, for the second time in his life he had lost the person that gave him strength unable to protect them. He felt like a failure. It took a lot of support from Youngjo and the other generals to get him out of his room after watching you die like that. ~*~ (the next part will be from your perspective and is taking part in the current time) "Y/N, honestly, I don't get why you're so obsessed with that myth!" your friend Jieun whined as you pulled her along to the museum. "It's not a myth, there are various evidences that the six generals were actually alive, technically that means they're still alive." you argued as you paid for two museum tickets. "Still, that was a long time ago, why are you so obsessed with them?" your friend asked, trying to break free from your grip on her wrist. "The drawing, I'm telling you it really looks like me." you beamed at her, remembering how you had went to the museum a week ago, because they were having an extra showcase on the six generals. As you had went through the exhibition you had found yourself in front of some drawings that were apparently  painted by general Lee Seoho and it looked exactly like you. The information given on the painting was that it was believed the lady was General Seoho's love, but there were no evidences for that, however it were the only drawings found by him. When you had told your friend about the paintings, she hadn't believed you, saying something like you were interpreting too much into it. But now that you had brought her in front of the drawings there was no way she could deny it. That was definitely you, just in clothes that fit the century the generals had lived in. "No way!" she stood astonished looking between you and the drawing. "I'm telling you, I think General Seoho is my soulmate." you said pointing to a drawing that had been made of the six generals, before they were send off to war. "He looks like that guy I keep seeing in mirrors, well his hair is shorter and he's wearing different clothes, but his face is the same." "But the generals haven't been seen for hundred of years, how could you even find him. There's no way he's the one." Your friend argued shaking her head, not fully believing your story. She had never seen the guy you talked about in your mirror, all she did was see herself, but the way you excitedly talked about him, there was no way you made this story up. Besides that, the world was crazy with soulmates finding each other in the weirdest of ways, so why not see your soulmate in the mirror, but a general? A general that no one even knew if he was still alive? Very Questionable. "They say that this castle was gifted to them after the war." you pointed to a map that was put up on the opposite side of the drawings, where the location of the castle was marked. "Didn't it burn down? I saw some pictures it looked pretty beat up." your friend asked reading through the information underneath the map. "That's what it says in a lot of books, but I found one where it said that even though everything around the castle burned down, the grounds that belonged to the generals were unharmed. I'm going to go there tomorrow." You told your friend. "Are you crazy? They're saying the castle is dangerous, what of you get squished to death by falling stones or whatever?" Your friend screeched, but she was well aware there was no way to stop you when you were this determined. ~*~ The next day you got ready early in the morning, you would be taking a bus that would take you the closest to the castle as possible. However the foot walk from the stop to the castle was still a long one, especially since you had to walk through a forest, without an actual road. You knew what you were doing was dangerous, but something told you it was the right decision. The little hand mirror you had brought showed, who you believed to be General Lee Seoho talking excitedly to someone outside of the mirror. Could it be possible he knew you were on your way? Your picked up your pace, but still careful not to trip on the uneven ground of the forest. The sun was standing high in the sky when you took a short break on a tree stump. After your small break you collected all your belongings and put it back into the backpack you were carrying. Back on your way the scenery in front of you started to flicker and for a second you thought if maybe you had been under the sun for too long. You rubbed your eyes and when you slowly opened them again, you found a long road out of small white stones leading up to an impressively big castle in the distance. It looked nothing like the pictures you had seen, there was no sign of a fire at all. You made your way up to the castle the stones making a little noise under your footsteps, however you stopped when you saw a figure come your way. He stopped in front of you and both of you stared at each other, not fully believeing that the person you had only seen in a mirror until now was actually standing in front of you. "It's really you? General Lee Seoho?" you asked with a wavering voice slowly taking a step forward, touching his face with your fingers to see if you weren't dreaming his face felt real and his eyes stared into yours as a smile spread on his face. "I haven't heard that title in years." he answered as he quickly engulfed you in a hug. "I'm sorry I wasn't able to protect you before." You felt his body shaking and tears streamed down his face. "It's okay. I'm here now." you smiled at him fondly, washing away his tears with your thumb.

This is Amarie jo Garza. This sweet little girl was one of the children who were murdered in Texas yesterday. I'm a mom myself and I haven't been able to look at the pictures of these poor babies because my heart can't handle it because I will just see my children's faces.

With that being said I was scrolling through my newsfeed and this babygirl showed up . She was a baby ARMY , wearing the newest comeback T shirt.

As ARMYs it's out responsibility to be there for other ARMYs and I think we owe it to this little girl to enjoy our favorite songs in her honor , the ARMY equivalent of prayer.

One of my daughters is the same age as her and an ARMY and I won't be able to think of Amerie when they're dancing to BTS the next few weeks.

Parent ARMYs, don't forget to treasure every minute with our mini ARMYs

This screamed petty beyond belief, but you happened to be Ms. Petty herself.

‘keep ignoring me and see what happens’

You stared down at the persistent messages on your phone screen from your so-called lover, applauding yourself for the recent name change of ‘Dumbass’ on his profile. For the past 24 hours you refused to send a text back or answer any of his facetime calls after the final straw of him rudely speaking on your comeback.

“You’re not meant to be doing this type of choreo.”

You threw your phone back on the couch after replaying the track of your group’s new song. Practice was over hours ago but as lead dancer you wanted to make sure you made no mistakes and bring honor to your teammates. You also made a note to focus on your facial expressions, trying to relax your muscles from the frown you were sporting since yesterday.

“Your group is supposed to be cute and innocent, why are you doing a sexy concept this early in the game?”

You exhaled a deep breath, brows twitching at the memory of Eunhyuk’s words and how annoyingly it pulled at your heart strings. Of course you cared about what Eunhyuk thought. You looked to your boyfriend for support and guidance, his idol expertise helping you create an image for yourself but now he wants to be jackass when things don’t go his way. If he was supportive he would be here with you now helping you get down the moves and staying all night until you didn’t have the strength to move anymore. But you were alone, a pant in your chest when you decided you wouldn’t speak to him if he was going to be like this. This wasn’t just silent treatment, this was a statement in which you refused to give him anymore of your attention to his nonsensical ego.

You took another deep breath in, standing center as you counted in the chorus before beginning the main dance. You made sure to keep your eyes on your form in the mirror, picking out every flaw in your appearance as your muscles screamed from exertion. You frustrated yourself with how tense you were; furrowed eyebrows and scrunched nose not making the facial expressions you were aiming for. Your moves were too tight and your body wasn't as fluid as you hoped. You had the dance down for sure, but you needed to work on your expression. If only Eunhyuk - you decided to hold your tongue, pressing your lips into a thin line as you growled in frustration.

You dropped to the ground, leaning back on the balls of your palms and outstretching your legs as you huffed out a sigh. You couldn’t concentrate with Eunhyuk weighing heavy on your mind when you wanted to focus on preparing for this comeback. You could feel the frustration inching its way into your eyelids, wanting to spill tears with how overwhelmed you were. It was truly amazing how all this built up emotion washed away when you heard the skid of sneakers against the dancefloor and turned to see the menace standing at the doorway.

Your time froze as you took him in, still asking the silly question even though you knew well enough he would eventually show up. “Eunhyuk - why are you here?”

“Why do you think?” he asked breathlessly in return as he made his way over to you. You caught sight of the sweat trickling down the sides of his temple before he was leaning down, grabbing your wrists and pulling you to your feet with ease. You didn’t have time to register your anger with him, cursing yourself in your head when you realized you had broken your silent treatment as his lips crashed onto yours . You couldn't resist the sweet pillows that you had grown accustomed to, falling into the kiss and his hold on you.

“I don’t like the idea of all your male fans getting to see you like this.” he breathed against your lips, the scent and taste of cool mint on his tongue making you peck another wanting kiss against his lips.

He hummed with approval, hands trailing down your back to cup your ass appreciatively. “They don’t even know that I’m the one who taught you how to dance the way you do.”

You bit down on his bottom lip in warning but his kisses only turned more fervent, seeking more passion with your tongue and his. “How to perform.”

His hands slid down to where your thighs meet your ass, slightly bending down and quickly hoisting you in the air so your legs could wrap around his hips. You wrapped your arms around his neck as he held you with ease having done this way too many times. His teeth took a hold on your bottom lip, seeking into the plush flesh and bringing out a hiss from your mouth. “How to bend over and take my dick like a good girl…”

“Eunhyuk.” you tutted in warning, not yet having forgiveness for him.

“I know it’s selfish of me.” Eunhyuk admitted, “But I don’t want to share you.”

“Imagine how I feel.” you related with a raised eyebrow, watching the smile cross onto his face.

“Please stop ignoring me. You know I can’t stand not being with you.”

You could feel your heart melt, not being able to hold back the smile pulling at the sides of your lips. You would have to admit that you couldn’t stay mad at Eunhyuk, not for forever.

“How about you take me home. Run me a nice bath with my favorite bubbles, and I’ll give you a private show meant for you.” You placed a sweet kiss against his lips, running your tongue between the soft flesh before kissing him once more and hopping down onto your feet. You went over to the speakers and unplugged your phone, silencing your group’s new song gathering your things before making your way to the door.

You turned to catch him right behind you, a smirk on your face as you gave him a glare. “After you apologize for being a jerk.”

Take a pause, but comeback victorious

If the year 2021 has taught me anything, it is to take a pause

..to give it a break when it's too weary to carry on.

  When you can't be your best self right now, take a break. Some would consider it would be like avoiding your tough seasons, but it's not. It merely means that you honor downtime in order to generate the greatest results.

Do we attribute good deeds to others when we are not at our finest? Let's pretend we're machines: can robotic systems produce high-quality products when they don't function properly the first time? Life can be daunting at times. And, as cliché as this may sound, finding the will to go through the day is tough enough these days.

Dear you, you are incredibly brave to have made it through yesterday. Yes, the world can't wait because there's a great deal of study and work to be done. Keep in mind that exerting too much is seldom a sign of success. You are a success if you are able to survive these survival seasons. You must strive to move forward, but ensure to honor yourself when you need to pause—comeback victorious.

An Open Letter to Monbebes Part 3 (March 27, 2020)

Naver released an article yesterday talking about Monsta X’s comeback. Within that article, the journalist used a six member photo and wrote each of their six names.

A lot of people — both here and on Twitter — expressed a very negative reaction; some even leaving the fandom for good.

I have 100+ asks in my inbox right now all carrying a lot of anger towards MX, SSE, Naver, and the fandom, so allow me to inform some of you of some things:

Journalists have to report what’s known. We know the six active members are for sure making a comeback, so naturally, they will be the ones named. Journalists will not, and cannot, specify Wonho in the comeback because it is not verified knowledge.

To run off of the previous point, let’s say a journalist did report that Wonho will be in the comeback. Whether he is or not, the journalist risks their license getting revoked because legally, they’re not allowed to report anything the company hasn’t made public. Sometimes companies will choose certain journalists to report information, but I don’t believe that is the case with this particular situation.

In addition to my previous point, think about the repercussions. If a journalist were to report about Wonho being in May’s comeback, they would face backlash regardless of the stance. You would have fans who are angry that a journalist reported the info rather than Wonho, you’d have others who would deem the info as fake, and then you’d have another section of the fandom who would turn to the companies and MX, themselves, and reprimand them for not being the ones to say anything.

In addition to that addition, assuming that Wonho is in the next comeback, let’s say he suddenly changes his mind and decides he needs more time. The journalist would lose their job and all Hell would be unleashed upon someone who was merely doing their job. Reminder: Journalists will not sacrifice their jobs at the expense of saving feelings.

While Wonho’s name was cleared, it was never specified whether he wants to return. Starship said they’ll honor whatever he wants to do, so the decision is not in their hands. Wonho is the one who now decides his fate.

I understand we’ve received a lot of information that leans towards him coming back — like the sightings and coffee shop and so forth. Personally, I do believe he’s coming back, but I’m not Hoseok, so I don’t know how he’s feeling — no one does except him.

Right now is when everyone should be sending A LOT of love and support to him and the boys — like even more than in the past.

Now is not the time to leave the fandom over hissy fits and tantrums over an article where the journalist is merely doing their job. Now is not the time to continue demanding statements from Starship because — I hate to break it to everyone but — they’re not going to give us anything. They never have and as I stated before, it’s not their decision.

Wonho is who decides when and how he’ll return. He will be the one who decides how he wishes to make the announcement. He will be the one who decides his fate.

Not journalists. Not Starship. Not Epic.

But Wonho.

Even we, as Monbebes, do not get to decide such things, but we can remind him how much we love and support him regardless of the situation.

So please, hang on a little longer and be patient.

Spam the fan cafe with love — direct your messages to him by using [WONHO] at the beginning of your letters. Spam twitter with love and support. Make more projects and be active. Don’t allow media to get you down because we should all know by now that news articles will haze our vision.

-

Please Monbebes, remember why we started this fight.

Take This To Heart (Choi Seungcheol)

In honor of our leader coming back soon, I thought I’d give you this. It is my favorite song by my favorite band (lmao, someone please ask why it means so much to me, i wanna overshare) and I wrote about my favorite boy no one tell Joshua. I’ll probably come back in the morning to finish everything I neglected last week.

Word count: 3184

Even in his daze, Seungcheol managed to get everything packed up and ready to go home early the next morning despite it being so late at night. The journey from Manila back to Korea had been nothing less than tiring and he had the strength to get home but his priorities laid with his bandmates. Ode To You was finally over and even though he missed most of it, he still felt tired, the physical ache still deep in his bones, and mental fatigue still looming in the backburner of his brain. The time off did him well, but he couldn’t help but help feel somewhat guilty for not being there where he was needed. 

Luckily, he had managed to convince you to let him finish this tour with them. As Seventeen’s general leader and oldest brother, Seungcheol felt the sense of duty of being there with them even if he wasn’t onstage and he was forever indebted to you for understanding. He wondered what would’ve happened to him if you told him to stay behind. And then he figured that his restlessness and remorse for missing out would’ve eventually led him back to them although that would’ve also meant more arguments and snide remarks and that wouldn’t have gone well with either of you. 

Everyone else was either fast asleep or getting there and he smiled, especially when his eyes found Jeonghan. No doubt, he was tired of being the leader even though he had been a spectacular one. Joshua too when Jeonghan stepped down for a month to take care of his own health. The title wasn’t an easy one to carry but he didn’t want anyone else to have that burden (even though it was also his pride), but now it was time to go back to being Seventeen and Carats’ leader. He rather would’ve missed a tour than a whole comeback and then some.

Seungcheol peeked through the hotel’s curtains, the streetlights and passing cars illuminating his face. Leaving you wasn’t easy either. Truth be told, he had almost fallen apart after they had left for OTY. You’d barely moved into your first house together and he suddenly felt like he was being ripped away from you. Well, the Asian leg of the tour was easy...until Mingyu spilled the beans that he had to go on hiatus. But it was in the past. 

“One more night,” he murmured to himself, not caring if one of them heard him. This time tomorrow, he’d be spinning you around the room while all the songs he’s ever dedicated to you sounded all over the place because every song would be yours. He just hoped you’d wait a little longer. He swore you’d make it. 

*

Actually, when Seungcheol announced that they were hitting the road to tour, you had been in your room folding the week long-neglected laundry in the basket. Tired as he was, he burst through the door, excited.

“Jagi, we’re doing it again!” He only felt a little bad when he saw you jump. “Ode to you is officially starting….soon. Jagi?”

“I can’t exactly jump for joy when I’m carrying all these clothes,” you joked.

“Oh right!” He took about half of the shirts already on their hangers to ease your load and helped you place them in the closet, all color coordinated and all facing the same direction.

“Okay, now that’s done, what’s this I hear about a tour?” You eyed him skeptically as he collapsed on your bed, his arm shielding him from the light and you swore he would’ve passed out from the exhaustion if you didn’t talk to him.

“Yeah, our boss just announced it today.” He now sounded casual as he mentioned it but you noticed the hint of frustration. “We leave in two weeks. We start in Asia, then we go to North America and, back to Asia and then we end it in Europe.”

“Can you handle that?” You asked as you sat at the foot of the bed. You removed his shoes slowly, opting to massage his feet. You decided to stay quiet when you could feel the throbbing through his socks, and just shook your head.

“Me? I’ll be fine. It’s the other boys I’m worried about. Beomju hyung and I just got Jihoon to go home finally if Soonyoung keeps at it with the choreos, he might have to sit out the first few shows to regain his energy. I think I should tell the big man who signs our checks to wait some more. We just got this place and-”

“Cheol, I’d rather you argue about going on tour so soon. You haven’t even dropped An Ode yet.”

“Jagi, come here.” He waited to open his eyes until he could feel you close to him. He rolled over to face you and reached for  your hand. “I know you don’t like a lot of this, and I don’t either but think of the Carats. That’s why we do this.”

“But you know they’d rather you stay here and take a break. And I don’t want you to leave either. I feel like we just got the hang of this.” Your eyes fluttered shut when he traced the details of your face. “This house already feels empty with you gone most of the time.”

“We’ll make it,” he assured you. “Just let me know you’ll be here while I am gone.”

*

“I’m coming home tonight, my love,” Seungcheol told you over the phone at the crack of dawn. Despite being back in Korea, it felt like you two were still worlds apart. He still couldn’t believe that his boss had decided for Seventeen to come back to Seoul by train then by boat and then by train again back to the home country in an attempt to reimburse the money lost in the European tour. They had stopped near the South Korean border at around three am because they just wanted to rest and the sea breeze just him wanna run to you. 

“Good,” he heard you sniffle. “I missed you so much. It’s been so hard without you.”

“I know, just wait a little longer. We’re now in the same country. I’m almost there.”

“Cheol, did you even sleep?”

“No,” he admitted after a while. “I’ve been up since yesterday. I just wanna get home already. I want to be with you and see you.”

“I need you to sleep. You’re in for a long day and by the time you get to the train station, you won’t be able to stand. Baby, I’ve missed you a lot and I’ve been worried that you haven’t been taking care of yourself.”

“I will. Just let me come home first.” He once again cursed his boss for giving them the latest times to leave from everywhere. “Take this to heart. Nothing will keep me from seeing you tonight.”

*

“Do you guys have everything?” you asked the 13 sleepy boys. Half of them were glaring blearily at the Incheon Airport’s floors and the other half were falling asleep on their feet, but you nodded in satisfaction when they held up their passports. “Okay, let me know when you guys land or get to the airport or whatever. And please drink responsibly. If you wake me up because you want me to see who’ll fly first again, you will find me in front of your hotel room and it won’t be pretty.”

“You’re no fun,” Soonyoung whined. “SCoups hyung already looks after us. We don’t need another parent.”

“You’ve been warned.” You waited until each of them gave you a hug so you could leave. “Have fun guys. I miss you already.”

“Jagi wait. You didn’t kiss me yet.” Seungcheol puckered his lips, which left you no choice but to kiss him...so you did.

“I love you,” you told him quietly.

“Wait! I need 12 more.”

“Why?”

“One for luck at every show we play.”

“Did you really count that?”

“I did and I’m not boarding until you kiss me.”

“Stay safe,” you whispered once you complied with his request. He leaned his forehead to yours to try to keep the moment private.

“Stay strong. Will you be here for me while I’m gone?”

*

“Hyung,” Chan said, bringing Seungcheol out of his thoughts. “The whole world knows you’d rather be home right now, but rushing us out of the hotel won’t get us to Seoul faster. We have plenty of time to check out-”

“Don’t remind me,” he groaned.

“I’m just saying that we will leave eventually, but for right now, come have lunch with us. Or at least sleep. You’ll kill time a little faster….”

In the background, he could hear Soonyoung and Minghao arguing over a phone charger and then Wonwoo piped in about having an extra one to use and that ended the little skirmish. Then the door closed and he wondered if Seungkwan went for more ice. He could taste the morning breath in his mouth and he made a face. He could see Junhui coming in the room and throwing his suitcase on the bed to pull something out. He could smell someone spraying their cologne. He could feel the towel he was currently wringing in his hands. His senses had been elevated and he knew Chan was still talking, still trying to relax a little, but he couldn’t hear him...or focus on him for that matter. Seungcheol knew he needed to keep his head a little longer. He could already feel you in his arms and promising to stay with you as long as he possibly could.

“Hyung?”

“Sounds great dude.” He ruffled the young boy’s hair.

“You’re okay with stopping at Pledis to let them know we got here safely?”

No, no he wasn’t. Once again, the duties of a leader kept him from being close to you. Scratch that, it wasn’t the leader role; it was him being the oldest sibling and ensuring everyone got home safely. He nodded. “Yeah.’

Chan thumped his forehead affectionately. “Liar. Let’s go get food.”

*

“Wait, what do you mean you guys are home right now?”

“Yeah, Hannie hyung needed to get rest too,” Mingyu informed you on the other side of the computer screen. “That’s two down and I’m pretty sure they sent us all home because if any more of us can’t perform in America and we’ll have to cancel it...wait, where are you right now?”

One thing you loved about Seungcheol was how he didn’t blab to them about your personal life. He knew you had to leave but it also sucked knowing now where he was. “I had to come visit my family for a little bit. With Cheol taking time off for anxiety, I couldn’t handle not being able to help him or you guys, so I had to run away.” You hated how easily your voice cracked for feeling weak. “I have to go see you guys. I need to go tell Seungcheol that he needs to stay there so he can rest up.” You already began looking at your surroundings, ready to throw all the stray clothes into your suitcase. You didn’t know where to start and you could feel the prickliness at your fingertips. “I need to go spend the holidays with you.” You shook your head a couple times to keep a clear head.

“Take a breather, dude before you have a panic attack.” He turned around quickly in case the boy in question decided to come into the room. “Hey, hey. He’s fine. They both are. Shua hyung is making sure they’re resting.”

It eased you a little. Joshua may not have been the frontman, but he still had the same responsibilities as the other two. You just hoped he didn’t fall apart at the seams too, not because Junhui would be in charge but because if anyone else went down, they’d have to cancel the whole thing...not that it’d be a bad idea but you preferred it to under different circumstances.

“You can’t change his mind, I hope you know that.”

“For what?”

“He’s already said he’s coming with us. He’ll just be behind the scenes.”

“And you’re okay with that?” You saw him take a deep breath but he didn’t answer. “Mingyu?”

“We need him. Going without him just wouldn’t feel right. Hannie hyung will be back by that time and he’ll be making the decisions.”

“Mingyu, this is Seungcheol’s health, not some fucking good luck charm you can’t be without.”’

“I know that. You think we didn’t try telling him that? If he wasn’t so stubborn, everyone would be telling him to get his ass on the next flight to you. I’m sorry.”

“Is he with you now? Okay what's he doing?” 

“I don’t know.”

“Let me talk to him. Please Mingyu. I need to see for myself he’s doing better.”

He debated for a moment and let out the longest, “Hyung!” you’ve ever heard, followed by various voices chiming in “What?” and a few other words. “I need SCoups hyung. He has a visitor.”

You don’t know why you lost all self control and started bawling when you saw Seungcheol but you couldn’t help it. You had so much you wanted to say but you couldn’t put it in words and you wanted to fling yourself into the screen and go straight into his arms so you could give him a hug and assure him he’d be okay and everything would work out but you couldn’t and that just made you cry more.

“Jagi, if you keep crying, I’m gonna start crying and then we’re gonna have a problem,” he said, trying to make a joke but you could see that he was on the edge of tears too.

“I can’t help it. You’re there and I’m here and we’re so faraway and you’re not onstage where you belong and I can’t stop you from going to North America with the boys so you can rest and everything just feels like it’s falling apart.” Oh what you wouldn’t give to feel him stroke your hair and tell you it’d be alright.

“At least you’re being honest,” he chuckled. “And now I need to kill Mingyu for worrying you over nothing. I’m being careful, my love. I already know you want me here when you come back, but I can’t.”

“I know,” you sobbed. “Your responsibility of being their leader and making sure they’re okay is too important to you.” You found a sweater which you used to wipe your eyes.

“If I wasn’t the leader, you know I’d be there with you, right?”

Even in your emotional state you managed to giggle a bit, and even momentarily forget the heartache at seeing each other like this. At seeing him staring back at you with confusion, your giggles turned into laughs and you were finally able to dry your eyes with no more tears following behind.

“Jagi, what’s so funny?” He frowned, his lips inadvertently forming into a pout and in that moment, you never loved another man more. 

“ Cheol, did you know you’ve never lied to me about something so important before now?” The way he looked so lost just made your heart beat a little faster and grow a little more, so you elaborated. “Nothing can come between you and those boys. Not your rest, not your tour, and especially not me.” Not that you’d ever want to, of course.

“Hey, that’s not true. I moved in with you, remember?” His frown deepened and his lips pursed more, still not understanding why you found this situation so hilarious. Granted, he loved seeing you happy, but he’d rather be in the loop.

“You only moved in with me because I didn’t wanna move into the dorms with you after an apartment in my building caught fire,” you pointed out.

“Stop exposing me,” he whined.

“Stop making me fall in love with you.”

“Never. Just wait a little bit longer. We’ll be together soon.”

*

Seungcheol bounced his leg impatiently, no doubt irritating Jihoon, but he couldn’t help it. Of all the bad luck in this world. He was so close and so tired and they’ve been waiting in the same spot for over an hour. He should’ve been there with you already, kissing your face over and over again and tracing every part of it to jog his memory. His phone bored him to the point where he didn’t bother to pick it up anymore. He stared out the window in hopes of finding a clue that the train would move again soon.

Jihoon placed his hand over Seungcheol’s knee, stopping him. “Hyung, please stop doing that. You’re making me nervous.”

“I’m sorry...I just need to get home already. And if we could get moving already, that’d be great. We should’ve been there if we didn’t stop here.”

“Listen, I get that, and I respect that, but please don’t let those puppies that got rescued hear that,” Jeonghan chimed in, still half asleep. “We could’ve hurt them.”

“I’m sorry puppies,” Seungcheol mumbled. He didn’t know how much longer they waited, but by the time they got moving again, the stars were out and he saw many people in their cars waiting on either side of the tracks to get home as the day drew to a close. And when the city started looking familiar, Seungcheol sat up ramrod straight and almost knocked Jihoon out of his seat once he knew exactly where they were. He pulled out his duffel bag, accidentally hitting Seokmin in the arm and that caused Seokmin to smack Joshua awake. He was by the doors even before the conductor announced this was the final stop and rushed the other boys to hurry up because he didn’t wanna wait on them. They just had to clear everything with Pledis and then he could go home and finally be with you. He couldn’t wait. 

Once the doors opened, Hansol made sure to grab Seungcheol by the shirt collar in an attempt to keep everyone together. Getting recognized would’ve only slowed them down more and Seungcheol knew that, but he couldn’t bring himself to care. You were so close. 

And it finally seemed that the universe aligned something for him because once he stepped foot outside of the train station, he looked at his surroundings, the smell of food vaguely reminding him that he needed to eat. The chatter was loud from every direction as the crowds passed him and them, paying them no mind. He could taste the M&Ms that Jihoon had been kind enough to share and that made him focus a little more, but then he saw you, and he gripped the carry-on.

You didn’t know he was there; you didn’t see him, he realized. He focused on the bag in your hands, recognizing the logo of his favorite fast food restaurant and his heart did the thing. His brain finally disconnected from everything as he dropped the carry-on.

And he ran towards you.
