Cheritz's changes in staff over the lifetime of The Ssum
I wanted to write a post about this because it was the nail in the coffin convincing me that The Ssum won't get better. I really want to be optimistic, I was for the first year of the game's release. But with how hard they're fumbling June's route, and having some context by seeing the dramatic changes that happen behind the scenes, I don't have any hope for the game's future in its original concept.
So here's a big fat list of credits, comparison of them, and my own stupid commentary.
A comparison of the beta OPs credits (2018) vs the new OP credits (April 2022)

Credits from 2019
Tumblr media
These are in the lyric booklet included in the Teo Love Bundle. Strangely enough, I'm already seeing differences between the 2018 credits and 2019. Uh oh?
As of release + a few months
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
These screenshots don't feature all the credits, unfortunately. I'm relying on screenshots someone else took because I'm not proactive but hindsight is 20/20.
Changes: Project is no longer managed by Heinrich Dortmann, instead by Juho Woo. Scenario team cut down to 2 people, one of which is a new name (Jooyoung Lim). Art team also cut down to 2 people. Sound is no longer resourced by Songhee Kim, but Jaeryeon Park and ROGIA. All new team of directing assistants as well, it expanded to 4 people but they're all new names. 2 fewer programmers, only one of the listed names was already working.
October 2023 (June's release)
Here's where it somehow gets worse lol.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Changes: A lot. Directing assisted by 1 person. They were not a part of the team credited in the OP. Down to 3 programmers, only 1 being in the OP. Entirely new art team! It's up to 4 people, but all of them are new, even compared to only a few months prior. Down to 1 scenario writer pobrecita (but we're coming back to that). Since I don't have screenshots of the project assistant credits from launch, can't say anything for that, except that Gui Zhenghao is new compared to the OP but the number of staff there remained the same. Flaming Heart is gone for the BGM! He's been working with Cheritz for forever but is gone now. One person from the communication team left, so they're down to 2. That would explain why emails have been slower since October. Only 1 translator, though Cheritz is now looking to recruit new ones.
Important note:
According to Cheritz's post acknowledging their use of gAI, Sujin Ri was not involved in writing season 1 of the game, but IS the main writer for season 2. I won't make a rant about how much I hate what she's writing cuz this isn't the post for that, but it explains why season 2 is so vastly different.
The fact that only a few people (like, in the lower single digits) remain even from 2019/early 2022, let alone who's still around from 2018, is really frustrating for the game. The game started with one vision, but now it's being turned into something completely different. Even the app's functions are inconsistant between season 1 and 2 (and a little so between Harry and Teo). According to an email I got from Cheritz, season 2 takes place a few years before season 1. Just sit with that knowledge for a bit :P. It's like the current people in charge of The Ssum (*cough Sujiin Ri*) couldn't be bothered to keep the original concept in mind, let alone how the timeline would work.
This post was a long time coming, I was caught up in just how bizarre this all is and finding tons of stuff that I haven't even included in the post. Writing this has taken about 3 hours (including the time I spent on a post ONLY FOR TUMBLR TO NOT WANNA WORK PROPERLY WHEN I TRIED TO POST IT SO IT GOT DELETED) and uhhh yeah. Now I gotta wait a few years to ask former staff if their NDAs are expired yet LOL

Seeing your responses to asks about the new chapter and just general questions it brings up- I’ve been intending to ask, and feel free to not answer this ask at all if it spoils anything and stuff, but like,
why are moonbyul and her pack so intent on ‘getting’ the mc? I remember you said once upon a time that if she joined their pack she would probably of ended up being used for moonbyul to have kids or something? So I don’t get why she’s so intent on pursuing her. I thought for a moment it might’ve been because she actually went ahead of plan and killed the don and beta- like it made moonbyul interested in her in a sense of ‘I wonder if I could make you do this stuff for me, rather then yourself’ or something- she seems a little like the type to want her omegas all obsessed and stuff which like,, creepy but you’re kinda hot so whatever
Along that line, I also don’t get what her endgame is with how you said Hyein contemplated killing Jimin. Sure Mc would leave the pack for their safety but she would just end up hating moonbyul and her pack from something like that. So if the end goal is a sort of ‘ownership’ that’s honestly not how to go about it
If that spoils then don’t worry about answering obvi lol but it’s just a question that plays on my mind from the new chapter that I kinda wanted to get out- even if you can’t answer this for spoiler reasons I hope you can enjoy knowing that one of your readers are set into deep thinking from your really intricate writing lol <3 love ya and your writing li, thank you so much for all you do for us fans - you’re such a dedicated and thoughtful writer and seemingly person from what you put through on here with your fanfic and other random posts, I hope you know we appreciate you!!!
oh okay so, maybe this is not as obvious as i thought it was but ;-; it's mostly because of three reasons,
1. because of the m/c's addictive slick, moonbyul's alpha and other alphas in general can kind of 'sense' that the m/c has this, it's mostly phermonal.
2. Because moonbyul and hyejin collect omega's, hyejin was moonbyuls first addition to her collection in a way but after she came along they very quickly got the other too. it's a power thing, the m/c is both veulnerable and beautiful. most alphas, moonbyul included- view the aquisition of omegas and many omega's as a status symbol. for the same reason why hoseok's coeworkers tease him for having so many alphas in his pack- it's kind of a societal norm that an alpha in possession of a good fortune will have several omega's, especially in certain circles.
3. They want to posess her as of right now in the story in part because it was kind of an understood position of them helping her escape geumjae/kill the don and beta that they would get her in their pack as a result. they wheren't just helping her and usuing her, they where manipulating her towards their own ends. after she killed the don and beta this got even more kind of validated- because moonbyul is the one who kept the m/c from being killed. in her mind- she owns the mc, regardless of yoongi's mating mark.
(this next section is vaugely spoilery) you're right in saying that "Sure Mc would leave the pack for their safety but she would just end up hating moonbyul and her pack from something like that. So if the end goal is a sort of ‘ownership’ that’s honestly not how to go about it" thats exactly why moonbyul DIDN'T order hyejin to kill jimin. she knows that if they do want to get the m/c, they'll likely need some collateral or something more to convince the m/c to be theirs willingly, the endgame with them is not physical captivity, it's emotional captivity. hyejin and moonbyul contrasted with geumjae- are much more interested in mentally fucking up the m/c than actually physically harming her through physical abuse. it's a delicate situation.
aghhh thank you for apreciating it in all its intricacies! i know sometimes it might feel like it's too intricate, at least we're not just frustrated right? i'll answer your questions for as long as i can.

PUBLISHED OCT.15.2020
Tumblr media
a twitter user by the name of @BBYNAMSEO recently posted a series of tweets alleging abuse and neglect of the idols under Infinite Stage Entertainment. the user posted photo and video evidence of idols being malnourished, exhausted, and covered in dark bruises. the user also included videos of SUGARs Hyejin almost passing out on stage, and S-DIVISIONs Atlas having what appears to be a mental breakdown on stage. these tweets are not the first time that netizens have called out concerning behavior from ISEs idols, but the vitality of these tweets caused ISE to come under international scrutiny, with even non-fans calling for an internal investigation into the treatment of the employees.
in the wake of these alarming allegations, ISE CEO Cho Hosung issued a video statement on the company site as well as their official social media accounts, in which he vehemently denies any irresponsible or negligent behavior from ISE employees. he insists that ISE has always prioritized the health and happiness of their idols, and that the success of their idols is built on a foundation of support and care between them and the company. he insisted that ISE is a family company at heart, and he cares for all of the idols in his company like a parent would.
however, Hosung seemingly avoided any specific allegations that the original twitter thread pointed out, including his own comments seemingly sexualizing ISE idol Hyejin. he also did not comment on the statements from alleged ex-employees.
Tumblr media
what are your thoughts?
Tumblr media
[ +55 / -13 ] they simply cannot be serious with this ‘statement’ like come on now, how are you going to release a cute little two minute video where you say basically nothing and go ‘its all lies lol we love our idols <3’ when there is actual PROOF of all of this [ +43 / -14 ] the way that han sooyin didn’t even show her face. she’s really letting her fail ass husband take the fall for all of this lmaooo [ +35 / -7 ] hey ppl who called ari a bitch for months for not being nice to hosung, how do yall feel now?! [ +26 / -4 ] are we surprised? like are we truly surprised?? this company has like a year left at best before it all comes crashing down like. at this point one of their idols is going to die on stage or some shit [ +26 / -8 ] Hyejin baby I promise we’re going to get u out of there!!!! [ +25 / -9 ] not the choho incest kink reveal…

well looks like i don't have self control lol. it's tamie again, the one behind emotional dork and lime ent trainee lee seojun as well as the studio delta trainee min hyejin. jae here is someone who might focus on looks more so i made his aesthetics higher than anything else but that doesn't mean he's completely useless. here's his about for anyone to read. again like the last two, his background and connection page will get worked on more later. got a few rough ideas i'll include under the read more though! if anyone wants my discord ever, don't be afraid to ask~ leave a like and i'll gladly message you about plotting with jae here <3
jaesung was born and raised in busan, south korea.
he has a younger brother and younger sister who he had to help take care of from time to time.
his parents own a restaurant that he's helped out in from time to time whenever things got super busy.
he loves referring to this as his first job even if he wasn't there like a normal job.
so his family isn't well off but they have enough money to survive and splurge once in awhile if they wanted to
at a young age, he discovered he had a love for makeup which caused him to wanna pursue a job in being a makeup artist at some point.
also found that he loves to write whether that is writing in a journal about his day or writing about a story that's been on his mind for days.
once in high school he decided to try out ballet lessons (which he knows bits and pieces of the steps for anymore)
during this time, he became more sure of his sexuality. even though he was terrified, he came out to his parents who surprised him by being supportive right away. he can't say the same about extended family though.
though at some point, he joined a study abroad program which had him finishing school in new zealand where he learned english.
after graduating, he went back to south korea and moved to seoul where he enrolled in a school that specialized in makeup and hair styling.
he discovered the world of idols due to some friends back home but hasn't done well with keeping up with what's popular all the time. he tries his best though. he definitely has a few favorites.
he gets to work doing makeup for different things and loves posting makeup related content online to share with others.
he tends to like singing a bit and tends to sing to himself whenever he's not too busy at work. (he'd become embarrassed if someone heard him singing lol)
he's can be a bit flirty and tends to be pretty confident at times though deep down he's much more insecure than he lets on. can come off as timid when meeting someone new.
tends to get pouty when things don't go his way and is quick to get defensive if blame is shifted to him in anyway (he's working on it)
he knows korean and english but will definitely favor one over the other at times.
a few plot ideas if anyone wants to do them
some he knew back in busan before he left to new zealand. he wants to keep in contact with his friends there
someone he's flirted with a ton whether it's in the past or even currently
maybe a fwb thing?
someone he can speak more english with since he doesn't wanna forget it
maybe someone who he's worked with or done makeup on before.
maybe someone he didn't get along with at first due to either a misunderstanding or just jae rubbing them the wrong way
someone he meets while drinking which could end up in interesting ways
up for brainstorming more ideas though!

Previous Chapter / Chapter List / Next Chapter
Tumblr media
Chapter 2
Tumblr media
Normally, Taehyung really likes his job. He usually works at different locations, it is varied and he has the privilege of photographing beautiful people every day. But the best part is that he gets to do what he loves all day long. And that includes photographing and putting his camera to good use.
Well, as a model photographer at the company he works for, he can't be as creative and is a little more limited as he would like to be but it comes at least very close to his dream job. Not to forget that he has a steady income, which enables his and his daughter to live a solid life.
So how could he complain, right?
“Taehyung!“ Ah right… He forgot about his boss for a second.
Preparing for the upcoming encounter with Satan’s little dwarf brother in advance, Taehyung tuns away from the scenery he was just looking at. He was just about to decide on which camera setting would be best to do next before he was so very rudely interrupted by his boss.
Not to be mean but Mr. Han seriously is a walking joke. His demeanor resembles that of a spoiled child and his physical appearance — although Taehyung usually isn’t one to make fun of that — doesn’t help him make up for that. When Jungkook randomly came to a shoot one day for the first time, the boy wouldn’t stop laughing at him for a solid 30 minutes after Taehyung got scolded by his boss once again. Since that day, Jungkook won’t stop referring to Mr. Han as ‘raging Yoda’ and Taehyung may or may not have copied that because it’s just so fitting.
Even if it doesn’t help much, if Mr. Han wasn’t the one who’s responsible for Taehyung’s employing, he’d laugh in his face whenever he’d decide to be rude to him again. Sadly, he can’t effort to do this.
“Mr. Han?“ Taehyung addresses him politely, ignoring the way all eyes seem to be on him and Mr. Han at this moment. Everyone was probably feeling for him because they all know he’s after Taehyung and enjoys taking him down regularly in front of an assembled audience.
“Why is this taking so long?“ Mr. Han grunts, looking up. “How long can it take to snap a sexy photo for a calendar?“
It takes everything in Taehyung not to lash out at him but he needs to think of Hyejin. He needs this job. No matter how much he wants to put that angry little dwarf in his place. “I’m sorry, Sir. I was just about to do the last shot for today actually.“ He answers in a calm voice, gaze dropping to his feet in an instance.
Mr. Han scrunches his nose, looking through Taehyung’s camera and messing up the setting he just wanted to use in the process. “There. That’s better.“ He then says, folding his arms while looking up into Taehyung’s unimpressed face.
Taehyung forces a smile and then takes a look as well to check the new setting. He’s annoyed to see that his boss just messed everything up, making it worse rather than better. Idiot. If he didn’t know better, he’d say this joke in front of him majored in clownery instead of photography. They could’ve simply mixed up the two words on his diploma…
‘Just stay calm, Tae. You need to stay collected.’
He just nods his head and offers him a very pained smile. Taehyung is sure that one can literally see him die right this moment.
Thinking this would be all and hoping his boss would just disappear, he’s about to get back to work when he realizes that Mr. Han isn’t moving. He’s still standing there, looking at him as if he hates him with all his guts, which he probably does.
“Sir? Is there anything else I can help you with?“ He asks him skeptically, not trusting the weird situation.
“Mmmh… You know Taehyung, I’ve been very patient with you these last couple of years you’ve been working here, don’t you think?“ Uh-Oh, that doesn’t sound good.
“Uuh… I’m sorry?“ Taehyung doesn’t really know what he wants to tell him with that. Is he going to fire him? He hopes not.
“Apology accepted. Anyway, I didn’t say anything last week, when you just left us hanging right before the shoot and Minho had to take over. Remember?“ He innocently asks but Taehyung already knows there’s more to it.
“I mean… You immediately yelled at me the next day as soon as I walked—“
“And I was so patient when you needed to take a day off in January. Can you recall?“ He asks further, ignoring Taehyung’s attempt to answer him.
“My daughter was sick and it was just one day. I mean, she had a very high fev—“
“And remember when I didn’t even say anything when you started this affair with one of the models, a couple of months ago?“
“Yeah again, that wasn’t me. That was the intern, who left right after because his mum found out about it.“ Taehyung says confused. “And you still yelled at me for it.“ He adds without Mr. Han paying any attention to him while already forming his next words in his head.
“Exactly. And I did all of this because I am lenient.“ Taehyung can’t help but almost laugh at that. “Because I am such a good employer. Because I’m such a good man.“ Okay, one more and he can’t hold it anymore…
“Sir, may I ask—“
“What I actually wanted to say is…“ Taehyung watches attentively as Mr. Han smiles at him, in a very creepy way, while turning his body sideways and pointing at Hyejin, who is happily drawing in her coloring book while she sits on the floor. “What is this small human doing here?“
With a heavy heart, Taehyung shrugs off the need to make a joke about the size of his opponent and instead tries to stay serious when he answers his question. “We actually call that ‘a child‘, Sir.“ The laughter about his own joke almost instantly dies down when he sees that Mr. Han doesn’t even smile one bit. Clearing his throat, he quickly finds his composure and sinks his head in shame. “That’s my daughter, Sir.“
“Yes. I already thought so far. The question is, why is your daughter here, while you should do your work?“ He then asks, his voice getting deeper as he seems to be getting angrier.
“I—I’m sorry. I just didn’t have anyone today to look after her while I’m at work.“ Taehyung softly answers.
“And since when are we running a daycare?“ Mr. Han sarcastically asks him.
Taehyung sighs, trying to find the right words but he already knows he won’t be getting out of this easily. “We aren’t. But I had no place to take her to and—“
“And that’s not an excuse.“ Mr. Han cuts him off for the hundredth time in the last two minutes, unknowingly testing Taehyung nerves. Or maybe he does know it but he just doesn’t care because he’s just “such a good employer“.
“I’m really sorry, Sir. It won’t happen again.“ Taehyung reluctantly apologizes.
“Oh, I’m sure it won’t. Because if it does, I’ll just have to fire you once and for all.“ He threatens him. “Did I make myself clear?“
Taehyung once again clears his throat out of nervousness, gaze falling on Hyejin. Luckily, it doesn’t look like she’s caught any of the conversation, even though Mr. Han is talking to the whole studio at this point.
And when he thinks once again that his boss is finally done and going to withdraw, he’s already proved wrong when he suddenly talks again.
“What about your boyfriend then? He couldn’t take her?“ He asks him, partly disinterested and partly annoyed.
Taehyung stills, lifting a brow in a questioning manner. “My… What?“ He asks in total shock.
Mr. Han looks at him as if he’s stupid. “That boyfriend of yours? The one who came around a few times.“ When he sees that Taehyung still doesn’t catch on, he deeply frowns, “Tall, weird fluffy hair, annoying to no end… You know, that pretty boy.“ He then says and it klicks.
“Jungkook?! Oh no…No! He’s my best friend. He just looks after Hyejin most of the time when I’m not around but he’s actually the reason I had to leave early last week and I’m still kinda mad at him so—“
“Listen Taehyung, I don’t care about your love life problems, okay? Just don’t bring any children to work. Ever again.“ With these words, he finally says his goodbye and pulls back, probably on his way to yell at somebody else.
Taehyung rubs his face in annoyance before he gets back to work. But he can’t help but think about Mr. Han’s words. He never liked him much. No, that would be put far too nicely… He never liked him at all but somehow he seemed to like his work or at least, he likes it enough that he hasn’t fired him yet. But he will probably not go along with it much longer.
It’s all pointless anyway because taking Hyejin to work all the time from now on, wouldn’t have been a permanent solution either. Taehyung knows that. He just didn’t have someone for today because Namjoon had to work himself and Jungkook… well, Jungkook was not an option.
It’s not that he will never let Jungkook take care of his daughter again but it’s only been a week for christ’s sake. He was still mad at his best friend and his ego won’t let him forgive him that easily.
He quickly finishes his job for today and takes the final photo of the girl, that’s now waiting for way longer than she should have had to. Taehyung kinda feels sorry for her because the studio isn’t the warmest since Mr. Han likes saving money on heating costs, and she’s in nothing but a lace bra and panties.
“Alright, that’s it. You did pretty well, I’m very sorry you had to wait for so long.“ He calls out to her as soon he found a photo that’s good enough.
“It’s alright, Tae.“ She smiles, throwing a wink his way.
He simply returns the smile before he packs his things and goes to Hyejin.
She’s still drawing when he arrives by her side, currently working on a picture of Elsa and Anna but she doesn’t look as happy anymore. It’s kinda cute how she suddenly looks so angry and annoyed while practicing her favorite hobby. Taehyung doesn’t even need to think about what’s wrong when he’s greeted by not only Hyejin but five other voices, belonging to some of the models with who he had to work today.
“Tae, is that really your daughter? She’s so cute, oh my god!“ Byeol squeals, as soon as he appears.
“Yeah Tae and she’s so smart and talented!“ Nari agrees with her.
Byeol and Nari are two of only a handful of girls Taehyung really bothers to remember the names of. It’s not that he’s a completely ignorant asshole who doesn’t care about other people. The main reason is just that he’s not very good with names and he sees new faces every day. Byeol and Nari though, have worked with him so many times by now, that he started to remember their names after a while.
The other reason is, he can barely remember all the other girls because, at some point, they all just seem to look the same for him. It’s not even supposed to be mean but models… oh well, they kinda blend in together after a while. At least for him.
“And she’s soo cute!“ One of the other girls sighs dreamily as she touches Hyejin’s hair, making her flinch away and Taehyung cringe in the process because he knows exactly how much his daughter hates when someone touches her hair. She won’t even let him comb it in the morning, without making a scene.
He takes Hyejin’s hand, helping her stand up from the ground as he politely smiles at the girls. “Yes, I know. Thank you. She’s quite perfect, really.“ He winks at Hyejin, who just looks up to him and raises her arms for him to pick her up. He happily consents, making everyone in the room dramatically coo at them.
He could swear he sees Hyejin roll her eyes and it makes him grin. She’s never been very fond of people babying and complimenting her in the way these girls just did. Taehyung always feels like he’s raising a teenager instead of a four-year-old…
“Daddy, can we please just go now?“ She whines, obviously irritated by everyone right now.
“Sure darling, I’m just picking up the rest of my stuff and you can go get your jacket, okay?“ Taehyung smiles at her, making her smile back instantly. She then jumps out of his arms and happily skips away to get her things.
Taehyung looks after her for a few more seconds as she sings loudly to herself — she always has to sing loudly — while she’s getting dressed. A proud smile covers his lips as he looks at his daughter. How is it possible that he has such a perfect child?
“I didn’t know you had a daughter.“ A small voice shakes him out of his state of pure bliss, making him turn away from Hyejin for a moment. Instead, he now looks into Byeol’s big, almond-shaped eyes. “Didn’t even know you were married.“ A slight chuckle followed by a smile, that doesn’t nearly reach her eyes, spreads on her lips.
A little surprised by her sudden attempt to start a conversation about his private life, Taehyung simply shrugs. “Well, you never asked.“ He crouches down to pack the rest of his stuff together. “Besides, I don’t think we’ve ever had a conversation where this could’ve come up so…“
Even if he’s not directly looking at her right now, he can feel her frown.
“Oh right… I guess?“ She says in an unsure voice before she becomes quiet. Taehyung almost thinks she’s disappeared before she speaks up again. “So… Is there a reason you don’t wear a ring on your finger then?“
Taehyung stops his packing for a moment and looks at her again. She’s getting a little too close for his liking but it’s nothing he isn’t used to by now. The girls here are usually not at all afraid of flirting and he’s a straight, young male who is also divorced. He’d lie if he said he’s never flirted back.
But this is getting too private for him. Especially with his daughter standing only a few meters away from them.
He doesn’t like to talk to people outside his comfort zone about his private life and people from his workplace are definitely not part of his comfort zone. But he’s known Byeol for quite some time now and he knows she’s not one to give up easily. Beating around the bush won’t do much and he hasn’t got the time nor the desire to stay here any longer than necessary.
“That might be because I’m not married anymore.“ He simply says, ignoring the way her grin is getting bigger.
“Oh, how come?“ She asks further, still not letting go.
“Just… Didn’t work out?“ Taehyung is slowly but surely getting irritated by her interrogation. He actually wants nothing more than to tell her to leave him alone already but he doesn’t want to make her upset either.
He’s still a gentleman and at the end of the day, he has to work with her again and he doesn’t want any bad blood between him and any of the other employees. If his boss already hates him, he needs to at least have a good relationship with his colleagues.
“Hm… I can’t imagine. Her loss then.“ A flirty smirk creeps up on her face as she seems to be getting even closer.
Taehyung isn’t having it though. He doesn’t like how lightly she deals with the situation. His situation. Who does she think she is, interfering in his business like that?
“Please excuse me Byeol. My daughter is waiting for me.“ He doesn’t say anymore when he finally walks away, leaving her to stand there by herself.
Hyejin is already waiting for him at the entrance, giddily taking his hand and pulling him outside of the building.
“Daddy, do I always have to come with you now?“ She suddenly asks him the moment they step into the car.
“No darling, you don’t have to.“ Taehyung answers her, laughing about the way her face immediately lights up at his words.
“Good because all the people there were annoying.“ She rolls her eyes as she groans in order to express her anger.
“Hey, come on now. That’s pretty rude, Hyejin.“ He scolds, face turning into a frown. He secretly shares her opinion of course, but he doesn’t think that someone her age should be judging people like that. Besides, everyone was just trying to be nice to her and they actually never gave her a reason to be rude to them.
“I’m sorry…“ She sighs but it doesn’t sound very regretful, to be honest. “I still don’t like them though…“ She mumbles under her breath but Taehyung still hears her.
“What’s wrong, Hyejin? Was someone being mean to you?“ He then asks, digging deeper because he can’t think of an explanation as to why his daughter has such a chiseled opinion about those girls even though she only got to know them for no more than a few minutes.
“No… I just didn’t like the way they were looking at you.“ For such a small child, she sure can frown when she wants to. One could think she’s making plans on how to get rid of someone if they were looking at her right now.
“Like what?“ Taehyung asks a little dumbfounded but also quite impressed by his daughter’s ability to catch on to things like that so well.
“Like uncle Jungkook looks at those girls on the tv.“ She suddenly says after thinking about her answer for a moment. “The one’s with the small swimsuits on.“ She adds, making a face.
Fucking Jungkook!
How often did he tell him to not watch Baywatch reruns with Hyejin?
“That stupid motherf—“ He thankfully stops himself before he finishes that sentence and instead tries to offer Hyejin a small smile through the rearview mirror. “They were just being friendly Hyejin. They didn’t mean any harm, okay love?“
Hyejin nods her head in approval but the frown is still present on her forehead. Seems like she doesn’t believe him. How could he blame her though? His daughter might be only four — nearly five — years old but she’s very attentive and definitely not stupid.
Oh, he can’t wait for her teenage years...

You’re standing in front of one of the large, colorfully mixed flower bouquets on one of the tables in the shop. It’s just one of many in Mr. and Mrs. Yang’s flower shop but somehow it got to you. Maybe it’s because of the colors, starting with an incredibly vibrant red, changing to a not as vivid but still strong pink, to a pastel pink with a bit of yellow in between.
It’s definitely far from the most beautiful or distinctive bouquet in the shop but still eye-catching and unique in its own way.
It made you happy just to look at it, catching all of your attention so you don't even notice the strange looks the only other person in the shop is giving you.
“So… I have two questions. One, for how much longer are you going to give the bouquet those lovey-dovey eyes, and two, is this some type of weird objectophilia, fetishism thing? Because I don’t want to assume shit but I also can’t see where your hands are right now.“
With your face still buried in the flowers, you quietly groan. Annoyed by the fact, that your wonderful and very rare moment of pure inner peace was just ruined by no other than the most unpleasant guy you’ve come across since you came to Seoul.
“Shouldn’t you be fertilizing the bonsai trees, Yoongi?“
You turn around to look into his — unsurprisingly — expressionless face and cross your arms over your chest.
“I’ve already done that. Looks like some of us actually do work here, eh?“ He says, occupied by his phone, not paying attention to you anymore.
You scoff, raising a brow. “You barely ever do anything. The times you leave to use the bathroom are the most I’ve seen you move your ass around here.“
Yoongi puts his phone down again and offers you a slight smirk. “Didn’t know you find me so interesting, you need to watch my every move.“
“You should get our ears checked. Seems like you hear things that aren’t there.“ You offer him a fake smile just as he immaturely mimics your expression.
“People call that intuition. Might want to google it.“ With those words, he walks around the table and is suddenly standing right next to you.
“What’s so special about this one? Thinking about someone?“ He then asks, suddenly seeming interested but you can already tell that he’s merely making fun of you. The look in his eyes clearly gives it away.
You actually need to think about it because yes, you surely don’t like to admit it but it does remind you of someone.
“He used to buy me flowers all the time, you know?“ Sad eyes wander from the color spectrum to the attentive eyes, that are already focused on you. “It’s kind of cliche, but flowers have always made my days better. Just looking at them can lift my mood in an instant. He knew that. And he made use of it. So yeah, maybe I subconsciously was thinking of someone.“ You offer him a sad smile and watch as his face slightly crumbles at that.
“I’m sorry ___. I didn’t want to open any old wounds. I’m an idiot.“ Yoongi looks ashamed of himself as his gaze drops down to his feet. It’s a new experience for you too because you barely ever see anything affect him.
You offer him a sad smile as you shake your head. “Nah, it’s okay. I’m good, really.“
The sheer look on Yoongi’s face, tells you that you’re not the only one, who doesn’t believe you. To your relief, however, he doesn’t elaborate on your lie.
“You came here to Seoul to start a new life, didn’t you?“
You nod your head in an approving manner.
“Good, then stop thinking about him, ___.“ Yoongi says.
“If it was that easy, I would’ve done it months ago, Yoongi.“ You roll your eyes and play with the petals of one of the flowers in order to keep yourself busy so you won’t cry.
“It is that easy, just look at me. My heart has never been broken before.“ He shrugs and slaps your hand off the poor flower as you nearly kill it.
“But have you ever been in love before?“ Feeling like you already know the answer to your own question, you only listen with one ear as Yoongi scoffs loudly, confirming your suspicion.
“Do I look like a pussy to you?“
“Depends on what you mean by ‘pussy’ because you do look like a cute little kitten.“ You laugh and ruffle his hair in the process. Your laugh only gets louder as he desperately tries to get you out of his hair.
“Don’t ever do that again ___, I swear!“ If looks could kill…
Without another word, he walks around you and leaves you on your own again to admire the beautiful flowers surrounding you.
If anyone would’ve encountered your little scene just then, they might think you hate each other but that’s not the case at all. You actually like Yoongi. You find him annoying at times, lazy, and sleazy all of the time, and he has that creepy serial killer look on his face which haunts you since the day you first met him but all in all, he’s a good guy.
At least that’s what you think of him. He isn’t very social or outgoing, he most definitely doesn’t like talking to anybody and you’ve never actually seen him around anyone but Mr. and Mrs. Yang but you’ve experienced his kind and caring side first hand when you came to Seoul with absolutely nothing on you and he was the first one to cross your path.
You asked him for directions to a hotel that night and he straight up refused to ’lead an innocent and obviously stupid idiot to their death’ and that’s how he introduced you to Mr. and Mrs. Yang, a lovely elderly couple, who owns a beautiful little flower shop and two apartments. One of which was still available at that time. The other one was safely occupied by no other than Yoongi himself, turning the two of you into neighbors.
And that’s the story of how you made your first acquaintances, home, and job on your first night in Seoul.
So no, you definitely don’t hate Yoongi. You owe him a lot.

“Wait, wait, wait, so the little raging Yoda actually threatened to fire you?“ Jungkook asks disbelievingly as he takes a sip from his beer.
“Ugh, I don’t know but he said some stuff and I better don’t want to find out.“ Taehyung groans, feeling the need to throw up just by the thought of his boss.
That evening, Taehyung felt like he just needed a little alcohol. So after he tucked Hyejin into bed, he got a few beers from his fridge and let himself fall onto the couch. It didn’t take long for Jungkook to join him after he came home and a few minutes after, Namjoon rang the doorbell to the apartment and joined in as well.
And that’s how it kinda turned into a guy's night in. Before anyone knew what was happening, there were three fully grown-up men, drinking a few beers and a few bottles of wine while talking about life. And all of that while trying to stay somewhat quiet in order to not wake the little girl up, that was asleep just one floor higher.
“Sorry Tae, I really would’ve taken Hyejin today, if I wouldn’t have gotten called into work so suddenly.“ Namjoon apologizes but Taehyung just waves him off, taking a huge sip out of his wine glass.
“Don’t sweat it. Wasn’t your fault, Joon.“
“Yeah and it’s not like he didn’t have any other options, right Taehyung?“ Jungkook butts in, obviously talking about himself.
“Don’t start again, Kook. You know exactly why I didn’t have another option.
“Ugh come on, Hyung! Will you never trust me again with her now? It was one mistake…“ The younger man sighs loudly while pouring himself yet another glass of wine — the third…fourth one? — sometimes taking a sip from the glass before going back to his beer.
“Of course I will, I just want to let you bleed a little longer.“ Taehyung smirks.
Jungkook sneers at him, rolling his eyes, “Hmh, and between the two of us, who’s the one that suffers the most from that?“
Taehyung stays quiet and looks away from him, knowing he’s right but not wanting to admit it.
“So, what are you gonna do now?“ Namjoon then asks after a few moments of silence.
“Well, I can’t take her with me anymore, that much is clear. But it wouldn’t have been a permanent solution either way. Hyejin hates that place. Maybe even more than I do.“ He sighs loudly.
“What do you mean? Man, I really don’t get what your problem is. You work in fucking heaven!“ Jungkook suddenly exclaims
“Language.“ Taehyung only mumbles, not really listening.
“Wha— Hyejin isn’t even here, she’s fast asleep.“
“Doesn’t mean I’ll allow you to swear in an environment where she could possibly hear you.“
Jungkook scoffs and looks at Namjoon for help but the older man just hides a smirk behind the rim of his beer bottle while shrugging his shoulders and keeps himself out of the discussion for now.
“Anyway, literally any man would kill to have your job — especially any man in your position — and you don’t even appreciate it.“ He further adds, trying to get his point across.
“Why? Because I work with models?“ Taehyung asks stupidly.
“Uhh yeah? Because you work with models you idiot.“ Jungkook just rolls his eyes and takes another huge gulp from his bottle.
“Literally who cares about that, Jungkook? I’m not 18 anymore, I have a child.“ Taehyung just shakes him off, already done laking about it but Jungkook isn’t having it.
“But you aren’t 80 either, Tae.“ Jungkook mocks him, obviously not agreeing. “Literally when was the last time you got some pussy, huh?“
“Jungkook! Shut up, Hye—“
Jungkook groans, rolling his eyes, “She’s still sleeping, Tae. So tell us. When was the last time you got some, huh? And don’t lie because I’ll see right through you.“ He challenges.
Namjoon just stays quiet and waits for Taehyung’s answer because he wouldn’t have asked him but he himself is quite interested in it, to be honest.
“It shouldn’t concern you, okay? That’s non of your business.“ Taehyung blocks off, cheeks turning a little pink. All just side effects from the alcohol of course.
Namjoon hums quietly, gaining his attention, “That long, huh?“
“Wait, but you had at least one in those two years after your divorce, right?“ Jungkook asks, slightly getting concerned
Taehyung stays quiet and that’s the moment Jungkook loses it.
“Oh please don’t tell me the last action you had was with Jisoo?!“ He nearly yells, making Taehyung and even Namjoon shush him, “Sorry…“
“It just never…came down to it, okay? It was never my priority and you don’t have to act so surprised.“ He directly says to Jungkook, “You live here too, don’t you think you’d know if I ever…well you know.“ He shrugs, obviously done discussing his nonexistent love life but he knows his friends won’t let him off the hook that easy.
“Dude, your divorce was two years ago and you two practically despised each other in the two years before that, so—“
“Can’t you just please, drop it?“ Taehyung whines, desperately needing to drown his wine and his beer with one gulp each.
“No, I can’t. I worry about your dick, man.“ Jungkook of course disagrees.
“Yeah no. There’s no need for you to do that, really.“
“Oh but there is! Because you’re my best friend and that means, that I need to make sure you’re alright.“
“I am alright, Jungkook! I’m not dying!“
“Yeah? Tell that to your dick then and see what he has to say about that!“
“He has nothing to say about that because he doesn’t talk!“
“Well, not with words, he doesn’t!“
They both get louder with every word that leaves their mouth but they currently don’t even seem to realize it, being way too drunk to register something like that anymore. Namjoon just watches them. He must say he’s quite amused by their little brainless argument right now. He wouldn’t dare to interrupt them even though he probably should.
“Can you please stop talking about my private parts now?“ Taehyung then says, voice getting quieter again, trying to not let the younger man let him get railed up so easily but Jungkook just laughs at him, making it very hard for Taehyung to keep his cool.
“Oh my god, you're such a dad.“ Jungkook mocks him, “’Private parts’? What, can’t you even say dick anymore?“
“Of course I can, you idiot.“
“Say it then.“ Jungkook further provokes him, smirking.
“No, I’m not twelve years old, I don’t need to prove anything to you. I’m an adult, okay?“ Taehyung scoffs.
“Alright show me your dick then.“ Jungkook shrugs, expression totally unaffected.
Namjoon and Taehyung both choke on their drinks, the older one looking absolutely horrified. In the meantime, Jungkook just looks like he’s discussing the weather or something.
“I’m not doing that.“ Shaking his head in total disbelieve, Taehyung takes yet another sip of his wine.
“Why not? I thought we were best friends?“ Jungkook asks still pretty serious.
“What does us being friends have to do with me showing you my dick?“ Taehyung asks him.
“Oh so you can still say it then.“ With a proud smirk growing on his face, Jungkook drinks again. “And that’s just something friends do, okay? Like sharing a bowl of chips or something.“
“I wouldn’t necessarily compare those two as if it’s the same thing—“
“I’ve seen Joon’s as well.“ Jungkook suddenly interrupts him.
Surprised by the new information, Taehyung looks at Namjoon, who’s currently about to die from a coughing fit.
“Wh—When?!“ Namjoon asks Jungkook as soon as he can breathe again, voice full of horror and maybe even a little bit of embarrassment.
But Jungkook just shrugs unaltered, “Remember that one party where you got absolutely shit-faced?“
“Right, I remember!“ Taehyung suddenly exclaims loudly, almost instantly slapping his hand on his mouth when he remembers Hyejin. “We’ve all seen it, Joon. You got drunk and just took your pants off. But we were impressed, so you’re good.“ He adds in a much quieter voice, simply shrugging his shoulders.
It doesn’t help Namjoon though. The man is still absolutely terrorized by that thought alone.
“I wasn’t,“ Jungkook then says, making the other two guys look at him. “Impressed, I mean.“ Namjoon frowns, giving him a look. “I knew it’d be huge, so I wasn’t surprised and that’s what kept the impression down for me.“ The youngest one concludes, not even realizing the way the other two look at him with their mouths wide open in pure disbelieve.
Taehyung is the first to get out of this pure state of shock, shaking his head to clear his thoughts. “Anyway, I won’t get naked now for you to see my dick and I also don’t think my sex life is that big of a deal. I’m fine, okay? Really. I’m quite happy with my life right now, I don’t need a girl to fulfill anything.“ He then says, seriously meaning every word of it.
“So what’s your plan for the next 20 years then, huh? Staying by yourself, only to be there for Hyejin until you die all alone in your ugly ass brown love seat, which doesn’t even have a purpose because there’s no one for you to love and Hyejin has already moved out?“ He waves his arms around wildly, which makes the situation more dramatic than it has to be.
Taehyung frowns deeply, thinking about his best friend's words for a moment before he looks at him with shock written all over his face. “Wait a minute, why don’t I make it past 50 in your weird forecast story?“
Jungkook throws an intense look at him, that lasts so long, Namjoon kinda feels like a third wheel while watching them both. “Because lonely hearts die young, Tae.“ Jungkook then whispers, with a pained expression on his face.
Namjoon doesn’t know if he’s supposed to laugh or cry, that’s how serious the two friends look in their weird little moment. But in the end, he decides to just wait and see where this is going.
A mix between a scoff and an uncomfortable laugh leaves Taehyung’s mouth as he mimics the look on his best friend’s face, somehow sliding to the edge of his seat in order to be closer to him.
“But I’ll still have you guys though… right?“ Taehyung tries to smile, eyes racing from Jungkook to Namjoon but he actually looks a little alarmed now.
Jungkook reaches out his hand to grip Taehyung’s shoulder. “Man, you will always have me. That much is safe.“
“God, I love you, bro.“
“I love you too. So much, man.“
When he’s sure that he can see tears appear in their eyes, Namjoon senses that this is the moment where he should probably say something for once because he isn’t sure if they’re about to cry in each other’s arms or start making out and he quite frankly doesn’t want to see either of those scenarios.
“Okayyy, how about we try to calm down a bit?“
Both guys tear their gaze from the other to look at him now. Namjoon clears his throat and offers them both a smile. He firstly directs his attention to Taehyung, trying to calm him down, “Tae, just because you hate your job and don’t want to start useless flings with your colleagues, doesn’t mean you’re going to die alone, okay? And Jungkook—“ He stops himself for a second to look at the youngest one, “You should… You should really go see a doctor or something. I mean it. Please get some help.“
Leaving the two guys dumbfounded, he stands up from his seat on the sofa and walks to the door. “And stop drinking you both. It’s like a fricking telenovela going off in here every time the two of you start drinking together.“ He gives them one last look before he just walks out on them and leaves them to it.
Taehyung and Jungkook just stare at the closed door for a little while longer. None of them say anything before Taehyung suddenly breaks the silence.
“God, he’s such an idol.“ He breathes out, amazement clear in his voice.
“I want to be just like him when I grow up.“ Jungkook silently agrees, both of them nodding their heads in sync.
And that’s what marks Taehyung’s “comfortable evening with a bit of alcohol“. At the end of the night, he’s even more exhausted than he was, to begin with, and as he finally lays in his bed, he can’t help but think of Jungkook’s words.
Yeah the boy is an idiot and he’s an even bigger one when he’s drunk but he did have a point and Taehyung knows that.
He can’t close himself off forever and never talk to a woman again. It’s not what he wants anyway. He knows he said that he is perfectly fine on his own and he is, he really is but at times he wishes he’d have someone by his side again.
Hyejin is growing older and even if he has the full support of his friends, he can’t deny that she really is a handful at times. Juggling a job and a four-year-old at the same time, while being a single parent and often even having to look out for the 25-year-old baby he calls his best friend, just kinda pulls on his nerves.
And at the end of the day, there’s no one there to cuddle up to and just forget about all the stress a normal day brings with it.
Tumblr media
The next morning comes much too fast for Taehyung’s taste. He wakes up when his bed starts to shake and a pair of very small feet find their place right in his face.
Even though his head kills him the second he opens his eyes for the first time, he can’t help but smile as he hears the very familiar, tiny giggle that wakes him up next to every morning at six am sharp.
At this point, his daughter is even more reliable than any alarm clock he ever had. It’s very useful most of the time but on a day like today, it’s just torture.
“Daddy, are you still sleeping?“ Hyejin whispers, right into his ear. He slightly cringes because of the feeling of her warm breath in his ear and resists the urge to wipe it off.
Instead, he cracks one eye open for her to see that he’s awake and shakes his head. “No honey, I woke up the second you put your smelly feet all up into my face.“ He jokes, smirking at the little girl.
“My feet aren’t smelly!“ She exclaims outraged. Taehyung’s head immediately starts to pound even harder because of the loud noise and he instantly shuts his eyes, groaning.
“Not so loud Hyejin, please. Daddy has a headache.“ He grumbles, massaging his temples in the process, a desperate attempt to somehow get rid of the pain.
Hyejin’s little smile turns into a small pout as she looks at her dad confused. “Uncle Jungkook has one too, are you sick?“
Quite surprised that Jungkook is already awake, Taehyung slowly tries to put his aching body in a sitting position so he can start to get up. “No no, everything’s fine, don’t worry. Uncle Jungkook and I just went to bed pretty late and didn’t get much sleep.“
Hyejin arches one brow as she watches her father slowly get up. She seems to find his behavior unusual but not worrying and thus follows him with clumsy steps into the kitchen. “Uncle Namjoon is making breakfast, daddy. Maybe that will help you.“
‘Thoughtful as always’ he thinks to himself while a proud smile makes itself known on his face. He just couldn’t wish for a better child. Of course, every dad thinks of his child as the best but he’s pretty sure that Hyejin can’t be topped.
As expected by Hyejin’s earlier statement, Taehyung sees Jungkook and Namjoon as soon as he enters the kitchen. Jungkook is sitting at the table whereas Namjoon is standing behind the counter making breakfast. At least that’s what it looks — and smells — like.
With a growling stomach and a hurting head, he sits right next to Jungkook. The younger man doesn’t even notice that somebody has joined him, as he rests his head on the table.
“Good morning, Tae! Nice of you to finally join us!“ A way too loud voice, that belongs to no other than Namjoon, echoes through the room. It makes Taehyung and Jungkook flinch in the process.
While Taehyung makes a face that comes close to the face Hyejin makes whenever he tries to get her to eat something healthy, Jungkook looks absolutely furious.
“Joon, I won’t say it again. If you do that one more time, I’m coming over there and I won’t hesitate to—“
“Aww calm down Jungkookie, did you forget who’s making breakfast and helps you overcome your hangover because some specific people just don’t know their limit?“ Namjoon laughs loudly, making fun of the two younger men.
“I sure as hell didn’t forget who woke me up with a fricking harmonica at just half-past five this morning. And all after a night of pure, uncontrolled drinking.“ Balling his hands into two very dangerous-looking fists, Jungkook keeps glaring at Namjoon, who looks nothing but amused at the whole scene.
“Since when do you play harmonica, Joon?“ Taehyung quietly asks. Watching the interaction between his two friends kinda makes him feel like he’s still dreaming.
“He doesn’t.“ Jungkook seethes through his teeth while Namjoon chirps a happy “I don’t,“ at the same time.
“You really enjoy all of this, huh?“ He states at a grinning Namjoon, who’s already on his way to serve breakfast.
“Sure he does. It’s easy for him too because he had close to nothing to drink last night.“ Jungkook scowls with a husky voice. Nonetheless, he immediately throws himself at the scrambled eggs Namjoon made, the moment he spots his plate in front of him.
For some reason, Taehyung feels his headache getting worse just by watching those two interact with each other and he doesn’t know if he can take it.
The real problem is though, that he still needs to be at the studio in less than two hours. And that’s what keeps his mood sinking even lower.
For a moment he thinks about calling in sick but when he remembers Mr. Han’s and his little talk yesterday, he quickly throws that thought out. He doesn’t want to give him another chance to hate on him. At least not so soon.
Groaning, he slowly shakes his head, silently regretting the choices he made last night. How could he be so stupid? Drinking himself to sleep with his best friends on a work night? Great. Just great really because now he has a hangover, looks like total crap, and probably won’t be able to do a good job today, which will result in Mr. Han throwing another fit.
Namjoon is the one who gets him out of his head just a few minutes later when he puts a cup of coffee in front of him on the table. He then sits down on the chair across from him without comment and starts to eat as well.
Taehyung is more than thankful for having him in his life right now.
“Thanks, Joon, I really needed that.“ He thankfully moans as soon as he takes his first few bites and sips of his coffee.
“No Problem, I thought it’d be a tough morning for you.“ Namjoon simply shrugs.
It looks like he even manages to care for Hyejin, who is already happily munching on something that looks like all kinds of fruits cut together in a bowl. Damn… He came over at an ungodly time in the morning, made breakfast, coffee and even managed to put a fruit salad together?
Who was the dad again in this constellation? Taehyung can’t help but feel a little jealous. How come he never gets stuff done so easily?
“I’ll take Hyejin today if it’s okay for you. I figured you didn’t think of another solution since last night, eh?“ Namjoon suddenly speaks up.
And that’s the moment Taehyung starts to ask himself where he’d be exactly if it wasn’t for his friends. Yes, even Jungkook. He really couldn’t do it without them.
“Ugh, I totally forgot about that, I’m so sorry.“ Feeling a total loser, he shakes his head in disbelieve.
“Nah, it’s fine, really. I have the rest of the week off anyway.“ He offers Taehyung a knowing smile, which he gladly returns with a grateful one himself.
“I can’t take her after that though, I’m sorry man. After this short break, I’ll probably have to work overtime because my boss wants us to land a big deal overseas and it looks like there’s a lot of work waiting for us.“
“Don’t worry, I will find a different solution. You’ve done enough already anyway.“ A small noise, that sounds like a throat-clearing rings out right next to him and he suddenly draws his attention to Jungkook, who’s already looking at him. “Is there something you want to say to that?“ Taehyung asks, feeling like he knows what’s about to come.
“Not to be the ass— butt…butthole here. But I feel like, I’m not valued enough by you, okay?“ Jungkook chimes in, “I mean, how many times have I watched Hyejin for you, huh?“
Before Taehyung can even think of an answer, Jungkook already keeps on talking, “Yes exactly, four whole years.“ He then answers himself.
Taehyung opens his mouth to protest but doesn’t even get the chance to breathe in enough air before Jungkook talks further, “I looked after her for four years straight and I’m not complaining because I love the little gremlin, obviously. But all I ever get is your nagging and whining about what I do wrong but then Namjoon is looking after her for a handful of days and all of a sudden, he gets the whole ’Oh my brother, I love you, I couldn’t do this without you’ speech?“
This time, Taehyung even holds a hand up in order to get to say something but it still doesn’t change anything because it seems like Jungkook isn’t done yet. And he’s right. Not a whole second passes before he starts talking again.
“Where is my appreciation, huh? Where is my love!?“ Practically raging now, Jungkook even stood up from his chair to get his point across, silencing everyone in the kitchen for a few moments.
Namjoon is the first one to find his voice again, mumbling a questioning, “butthole?“ In the round, while staring at nothing in particular.
Taehyung sighs loudly and looks at his best friend. “I do appreciate you, Jungkook. I’m very thankful for everything you’ve done those past years and everything you still do for Hyejin and me. We’d probably both be dead by now if it wasn’t for you.“ He offers Jungkook an honest smile, getting one back in return.
“But I just want to clarify, that you most definitely didn’t watch her for four years straight.“ He then adds, rolling his eyes in the process.
“Aaaand he’s back at it again, ruining a perfect bro-ment.“ Jungkook sighs.
„Ew, please don’t ever say that word again.“ Causing a creak by his chair, Taehyung stands up and walks to the kitchen sink to get himself a cool glass of water.
“But anyway, you should really go look for a nanny or something.“ Namjoon suddenly changes the subject again. “Jungkook, you start your new job in a few weeks right?“
In an instant, Jungkook’s face lights up and he nods his head. “Yes, I’m so excited! I can’t wait to see what it will be like this time.“
The words this time, hold much more meaning than anyone who doesn’t know Jungkook that well might guess. The thing is, that this will be the twelfth job that he’ll start. The twelfth.
The problem is, that Jungkook doesn’t have a lot of stamina when it comes to jobs and the duties that come with them. It’s not that he’s particularly lazy, it’s just that he always feels like he could get more out of his life and he doesn’t want to waste it by spending hours doing a job that bores him to death after a short period of time. And that’s the reason he never really works at a job for more than a few months before he quits again.
“Yeah, none of us can.“ Namjoon says under his breath, making Jungkook raise a brow in question.
“Wait, what’s that supposed to mean?“ He innocently asks, looking from Namjoon to Taehyung, who desperately tries to look elsewhere.
The truth is, Taehyung usually supports his best friend’s decisions but due to the fact that they share an apartment and Taehyung relies on Jungkook to contribute to the rent, he really wishes that the younger one could finally find a real and steady job.
“Nothing, I’m just saying. You’re 25 and this will be like… your twentieth job.“ Namjoon shrugs.
“Twelfth…“
“Whatever. Look, I don’t want to start something, okay? What I actually wanted to say with this is, that you can’t babysit Hyejin that much anymore when you start your job. So Tae, you really need to think of something.“
“Problem is, I don’t have the money for a nanny.“ Taehyung sighs.
“Daycare?“
“No money.“
“I could lend you—“
“No, I don’t want that, I will find a solution myself, okay?“ Taehyung kindly declines.
Nobody says anything about it anymore after that. The boys know exactly how stubborn Taehyung can be. If he says he won’t take any money, then he won’t take any money. It’s as simple as that and they respect it.
“Tae, what about that girl from last week?“ Jungkook suddenly exclaims, seeming very excited all of a sudden.
“What girl?“ Namjoon asks, immediately looking interested.
“The one who found Hyejin and brought her to the police station. She’s the reason we found her so quickly.“ Jungkook elaborates.
Taehyung frowns slightly and looks at Jungkook. “Her name was ___. And what about her?“
“Yeah ___ right. What if you asked her if she could look after Hyejin one or two times?“ Jungkook suggests.
“Kook, we met that girl exactly one time. She probably doesn’t even remember who we are.“
“That’s not true. I bet she remembers us. She was so nice! And she got along quite well with Hyejin and you know that girl despises the presence of women like no other.“
“She doesn’t despise them, ok?“ Taehyung quickly checks if Hyejin is still eating but she’s nowhere to be seen and has probably already gone to play in her room. “She just feels more comfortable with men because she’s growing up with a lot of them, obviously.“
“But remember when I brought a girl home that one time and Hyejin was such a brat to her?“ Jungkook asks trying to get his point across.
“She wasn’t a brat to her. She was reserved and a little jealous. You’re her favorite uncle after all.“ Taehyung just shrugs, ignoring the way Namjoon frowns at him after he finishes that sentence.
Jungkook’s face lights up as he hears it and a proud smile makes itself visible on his face. “Aww she’s my favorite too!“
“Okay, but Jungkook's idea isn’t even hat stupid and me saying that, means a lot.“ Namjoon says again.
Jungkook merely flips him off while he offers him a fake smile. “First of all, fuck you. Second of all, I’m actually pretty smart. I just choose to not show you that most of the time because I feel like a king whenever you guys underestimate me and I show you what I’m really capable of.
While Namjoon and Taehyung are busy holding back their laughs, Jungkook simply ignores them by taking another bite of his breakfast. He again moans at the taste, only coming to his senses again when he hears Namjoon asking about whether the girl from last week was pretty or not.
“Yes, she was totally pretty, Hyung. And so nice! I think she actually tried to prevent Tae from killing me that day.“ He chuckles to himself, looking in Taehyung’s equally amused face.
“Jungkook fell in love with her the moment he learned that she’s originally from Busan.“ Taehyung jokes.
“Yeah, isn’t she just perfect, Hyung?“ Jungkook exclaims, looking at Namjoon this time. “I’m so mad, I didn’t get her number.“
“Well, you know where she lives, don’t you.“ Taehyung jokes but halts immediately as soon as he sees Jungkook actually thinking about it. “Don’t even try to think about it, Jungkook. I won’t allow it. Leave that poor girl alone.“
“Oh, so you don’t get sexually frustrated, working with hot models in tiny clothes while you spend your life in celibacy but as soon as I show interest in someone, you want to get back in the game?“
That feeling you get when you experience a Deja Vu, suddenly appears in Namjoon, as he watches the scene in front of him. But then again, being with these two idiots never ends any other way.
“I just don’t want you to randomly show up at her house and scar her for life. I wanted to do her a favor by driving her home, not ruin her life.“
“Wha—Are you saying I’m not a great catch?“
“No, what I’m saying is, stalking is definitely not the way to get closer to someone.“ Taehyung really can’t believe he’s having this conversation with his best friend right now.
“I was just joking. Jeez… Where’s your humor? Like I would need to stoop that low.“ When he notices that Taehyung actually believed his words, he can’t help but laugh at him, earning a middle finger in the process.
“But all jokes aside, yes she was pretty, Joon.“ He then says again to emphasize his earlier statement, as he focuses on Namjoon.
“Damn, the fun stuff always happens when I’m not around.“ The oldest man groans in annoyance, making Taehyung look at him questionably. “I mean… Not that Hyejin disappearing would be fun, just… yeah.“
He quickly shuts his mouth and takes a huge bite of his breakfast instead.
“Tae, what do you think happened to her face though?“ Jungkook finally asks, which immediately piques Namjoon’s interest again.
“Why? What was wrong with her face?“
“Nothing was wrong with her face, okay? Don’t be so fucking rude.“ Taehyung replies, growing annoyed by his friends as more time passes.
The two men gasp in surprise straight away. Jungkook nearly even falls from his chair. “Did you just swear?“
Surprised by his own actions, Taehyung feels his face getting warmer.
“You never swear when Hyejin is around.“ Namjoon frowns.
“It slipped. Just forget it happened.“ He tries to simply shrug it off but knows it’s kind of a huge deal. Somehow, he just didn’t like the way Jungkook and Namjoon asked their questions.
“I didn’t mean it in a rude way. I was just curious…“ Jungkook quietly says, sounding a bit ashamed himself.
“Well, how would I know, Kook?“ Taehyung replies with his thoughts somewhat absently. He also feels a little abashed. He had already asked himself the same question when they met last week, but would never have asked her about it on his own. “It’s none of our business anyway.“
“Why are you acting so protective all of a sudden?“ Namjoon smirks.
“I’m not, I just think that we shouldn’t talk about that stuff. It doesn’t matter anyway, it’s not like we’ll see her again.“ He shrugs nonchalantly.
“Yeah, it was stupid of me to ask, I’m sorry.“ Jungkook agrees, “Well, I would say sorry to ___ but she’s not here.“
It’s at that moment that Hyejin comes back into the kitchen, big eyes looking at her father’s face.
“Daddy, can we finally visit ___?“
After he hears what she says, Taehyung falls into a coughing fit and clutches his chest tightly. “What exactly did you hear uncle Jungkook say?“ He asks her thoughtfully.
“I just heard him say ___’s name.“ She shrugs.
“Wow, that girl must’ve really made an impression on Hyejin, if she still remembers and wants to go see her.“ Namjoon exclaims pretty impressed.
The truth is, she had asked Taehyung over and over again all week to visit her ‘new best friend ___‘ but Taehyung somehow managed to get her off this idea every time without causing her to make a big fuss. At least until now.
“Darling, I already told you something about that.“ Hoping she would just let it go, he checks his cell phone to see how much time he has left until he needs to leave for work. When he sees that he only has an hour left to shower, get ready and drive to the studio, he starts to sweat.
But it would be too much to ask of a child to just drop a subject like that, wouldn’t it?
“But I want to see her. Please daddy, why can’t I?“ She stamps her little feet and starts to whine.
“Hyejin, I said no. Please be a good girl and listen to me. I’m going to take a shower now, I have to leave in a bit.“ He didn’t mean to sound so harsh but he really needs to leave and he just can’t deal with Hyejin’s whiney behavior, while also handling a hangover.
But seeing her expression change from happy, to glassy eyes and trembling lips because of him, makes his heart go soft again.
“Darling, you have to understand that we can’t just bother a stranger like that—“
“She isn’t a stranger, she’s my friend!“
“She’s still a stranger, honey. You only met her one time, we don’t know what her life is like. She could be very busy and we don’t want to disturb her, no?“ He tries to explain to her in a calming tone and even gets down on his knees to be on eye level with her. “And I also don’t have the time right now, I really need to get ready and go to work, okay?“
He silently watches as she nods her head defeatedly. Taehyung smiles proudly and kisses her head before he leaves to go to his room, giving his friends a quick nod to let them know.
As he walks down the hall to his bathroom, he can hear how Jungkook tries to comfort Hyejin by telling her that he believes ___ still thinks about her too and that she might see her again sometime.
Who knows? Maybe she will.

『you’re dating him but he’s not your bias』
reaction fic; NCT Dream
A/N: this is nct dream’s reaction to realizing your bias is not him (and you’re a couple). gender neutral, got way too deep at some points and was NOT meant to be this long. enjoy.
note that english is my second language and i speak mixing slang, accents and spellings from 3283928 places so i did notice there’s practice written with both s and c down there so
just dont mind it pls
also, today’s photo theme is dream looking cute in low quality shots.
𝓖𝓮𝓷𝓻𝓮𝓼: fluff (♡), angst (❆), comedy (☼), crack (⍢).
𝓦𝓪𝓻𝓷𝓲𝓷𝓰𝓼: lots of swearing, my tough love for the neos, one mention of cheating that doesn’t actually happen, a couple of mentions of alcohol and drinking, some violence hidden in metaphors, me being chaotic, it got a bit more angsty and darker than i intended, but we do have all happy endings.
word count: 6.8K
pairing: nct dream members x reader ( includes mark, renjun, jeno, haechan, jaemin, chenle, jisung)

Mark
Tumblr media
oh, poor baby
i feel like he would be a little heartbroken 
just a little
not so much if it’s someone from dream, because they’re his little brothers, but if it’s one of his hyungs from 127 or wayv,,,,,
boy might cry
he’s not super dramatic about it or anything but i don’t see him as being super confident about himself
so he might think like
“do they think he’s cooler than me?”
and it’s silly, yes, he knows
but it’s just something that pops up in his mind sometimes when you bring him up
so for the sake of this fanfic let’s pretend you’re johnny biased
because gods know i am
at least when it comes to 127
mark would be divided into fanboying with you and being like “YO, HE’S THE COOLEST GUY ON EARTH OH MY GOD I’M SO GLAD YOU AGREE”
and
“a h”
<gives you a little tiny smile to cover up the sound of his heart breaking>
would constantly try to get closer to you when johnny is around, and just
showing off in little (kinda dumb) ways
complimenting you
being even more whipped than usual
like yes he’ll give you all of his watermelon slices just please don’t look at johnny like that again
i think johnny would kind of play into it with the whole “imma steal your s/o” thing
and he doesn’t do it to make mark jealous or hurt
we know he’d rather get hit by a train than ever actually upsetting his son on purpose
but we also know he’s johnny
cue “OH DUDE HE’S FLIRTING”
so yeah he might call you lil pet names (beautiful, cutie, you get it)
just to see you giggle 
(and see your soul leave your body)
might say he’s taking you out for dinner when he’s just driving you to get more ice cream for a movie night with the gang lol
and winks
expect a lot of winks
anywhere and anytime
which makes mark sometimes feel like he’s intruding???
and that you appreciate johnny more than him???
he genuinely doesn’t understand how you can date him and still not have him as your bias
don’t you like, love him above everyone else or smth lol
his “showing off” phase eventually fades tho
now every time you hang you with the boys and johnny is around, he’ll be a bit more distant 
he thinks he’s giving you space to interact with his friends but he’s just shying away from competing with one of his favourite people ever
and it’s a competition that Does Not Exist™
but he’s not 100% aware of that
and you’re not that dense 
so ofc you notice
and you wait till you two are alone to talk to him, and he BEGRUDGINGLY admits that you being johnny biased makes him feel kinda small and unimportant
he’d never try to make you change your bias or anything
he just needs reminders that he’s your #1 boy sometimes
which is fine by you
and by him
cus now it’s you calling him pet names all the time
and hugging him
and kissing his cheek
and praising his work
and blowing kisses from across the room
and just telling him straight up that no matter what, you’ll always go to him
(not that you ever had any chance with johnny lmao)
THIS GOES TO SHOW COMMUNICATING IS KEY, CHILDREN
COMMUNICATE
Renjun
Tumblr media
wym donghyuck is your bias lol
literally are you fucking kidding him
don’t get me wrong ok
everyone knows renjun loves haechan
they’re bffs and could not live without each other
but at the same time,,,
what is wrong with you
who did he choose as his s/o gods help him
if it was jeno, or mark, or jaehyun, or winwin, or kun, or lucas, or yuta, or taeyong, or ten, or,,,,
literally ANY of his other members
he’d understand your point and be like “ok fine”
but haechan???? hmmm bestie no
he’s not gonna throw a fit
not after the first time you told him anyways
HE WAS SURPRISED OKAY
and he just whined very loudly after having laughed for 5 minutes thinking it was a joke
<flashbacks of that one time he had to sing the ottoke song with haechan on weekly idol>
if you don’t know that iconic scene, renjun had a whole ass meltdown in 3 seconds while yelling “aAAAAAH JINJJAAAAA” and getting ready to punch the living shit out of hyuck
for no reason other than the fact that it’s haechan we’re talking about and injun’s little body is filled with rage
BACK ON TRACK
would probably try to act all cool about it and be like “i don’t mind” but bruh does he mind
and it doesn’t help that haechan is such a little shit about it
he doesn’t even flirt with you
he just
constantly reminds renjun that he’s your bias—not him—and then constantly praises himself over you
“ah, y/n~ did you choose me as your bias because i’m the best vocalist? or was it because i’m the best dancer? mAYBE IT WAS BECAUSE OF MY OH SO BROAD SHOULDERS—”
(pause for injun to punch him)
(unpaused)
and ok in the beginning it was funny seeing him all worked up but now it’s just annoying to be in the same room as these two
haechan won’t let either of you live
and renjun just wants to
fight
so it eventually gets to the point where you’ll talk to renjun and jeno will talk to hyuck cus even the other dreamies are tired of it
except maybe for chenle, he always laughs his ass off when they start bickering
ANYWAY
your conversation goes something like “oh my god renjun i’m literally dating you, i don’t like haechan better or anything you little pile of fury”
while jeno sits hyuck down in front of him and jaemin and just
“bro why are you like this”
“bro”
no but renjun would apologize for going overboard with his protectiveness and jealous energy because he’s not generally like that
he’s angry all the time but never about something involving you, you know
he tries his best to treat you like the royalty you are
but something about hyuck being your bias makes him feel a bit like a castaway???
he’s very creative and as an artsy kid myself i know we’re very prone to feeling left out because we’re just different from the others
so he’d think maybe haechan really has a better voice
or better dancing skills
or he looks better
he is taller than injun after all, and has broader shoulders, and his hair is all fluffy and—
the whole thing just made him insecure about things he had settled with himself long ago
he was fine with being him
but not so much when it came to that
i don’t think you two would fight over it cus tbh i think renjun would really only get with someone who can be very understanding of him
and i think hyuck would actually apologize to renjun too
not when everyone’s around but like, maybe after dinner or something and he just needs to feel like they’re besties again
hyuck never meant for things to get out of control
he just really likes both injun and you as his friends, and aside from skinship his most prominent love language is,,,
teasing
he was really just trying (very poorly) to grow closer to the person his best friend loves so much—you—because renjun is SUCH a big part of his life it would just feel wrong to not be good friends with you as well
don’t tell them i said this but they hug it out
injun strikes me as someone that could take a bit of time to bounce back from something that hurt his pride or his sense of belonging
and his way of healing and bonding is just,,,
art
sure, keep being haechan biased, but also please read with him
and talk about his fantastic animal creations
and watch those buzzfeed unsolved alien theory videos because he really wants to discuss it and maybe even draw what he thinks the aliens look like
hyuck tones it down, you make sure renjun knows you like him for him, renjun starts to (secretly) appreciate hyuck’s talent along with you...
and now let’s take a moment to imagine the minute you watch their latest mv with injun by your side
and yes okay the first thing you see is CLEARLY how good renjun looks because holy fucking shit he’s an angel (and i’m clearly not renjun biased)
but then,,,,,,
wAS THAT A HAECHAN HIGH NOTE
(there’s always a haechan high note, just look for it)
and ok maybe he did scream a bit with you because of how good it all sounded
and you know what, it works out perfectly bc you two are my new otp and you were meant for each other
but we do have to mention the eventual happening of chenle saying like “oOoOoOoH y/N wErE yOu dRoOliNg oVeR hAeChAn AgAiN” after a special stage
and then you, injun and hyuck all attempt to choke him
i’m kidding
or not
Jeno
Tumblr media
ah, lee jeno
aka samoyed boi
yes i do call him that no i will not stop
everyone is always writing jeno as being super protective and literally about to burst a lung if someone else ever does as much as look at you
but i just 
don’t see him that way
he’s a taurus and from what i know about taurus they can be v v jealous, yes, but they mainly seek comfort
so he’s fine with you biasing jaemin
as long as you’re not ditching him or anything lol
and ok, imma be 100% honest here even if it sounds like literal no fun (jenojaem wink wonk)
jaemin doesn’t flirt with you
not any more than he flirts with
every other breathing creature
ever
he’s really only platonically interested in you, never remotely romantic or anything lol
on the other side, he is in love with jeno
basically, if jaemin is your bias, jeno is his
so nothing really changes
we know how nomin are, okay
they hold hands, they stare deeply into each other eyes, they nearly kiss at least once every time they go live
it's just them
you gotta respect it bruh
i know this is the most boring reaction ever so let’s create the one (1) instance where jeno would actually dislike that you bias someone else
i think he would feel a bit hurt if you seemed to be more supportive of jaemin’s work than his
and it’s not something big or on purpose
it’s just something like going with him to a recording session but not going with jeno because you have homework
or after a very busy practise day going to praise jaemin first
even if it’s just three words
“you did good”
and then you’re going towards him, he’s gonna feel like maybe he doesn’t deserve your praise as much as nana????
i actually feel like, among the dreamies, jeno is the least confident one when it comes to his performance
he knows he’s not an awful rapper or anything but i think it can be a bit too much, being around such bright and huge presences like the others while his nickname literally means “no fun”
his members are just so loud and full of energy most of the time
and sometimes he just really needs to be quiet and observe in silence 
(yes i do know he’s chaotic and a crackhead, i’m just saying as we know he can be a bit introspective)
so what if you just
stopped seeing him?
did he become invisible to you?
did you finally fall for jaemin’s beautiful smile and stupid pick-up lines?
he’s not gonna let it show that he’s affected, though
earth signs are nearly always the ones to “stay strong” because we have this image that people are relying on us???
so we do what we do
bottle everything up and overwork ourselves bc we only got two modes
1. chill, super balanced and down to earth (ay for the pun)
2. please make us take a break we’re literally about to cry if we work for one more minute but we can’t allow ourselves to fucking take it easy
so yes you’ve guessed correctly, we’re going with 2
jeno is going to go so, SO hard on everything he does 
literally every single activity you can think of from dance practice to photoshoots to cooking for the dreamies
he stays up later than usual to get that one tricky move in the choreo just right
he works out more because he thinks he has to look absolutely perfect for when they shoot the mv
jisung asked for ramen? he’s making it but you bet your ass he’s spending over 40 minutes just chopping so
many
vegetables
AND STUFF THAT JISUNG WON’T EVEN EAT
but he’s doing it anyway for the reason being that it just has to be the Best™
and it’s not like he’s competing with anyone else to be diligent
this is just about being better than he was and showing himself—and maybe you—how painstakingly hardworking and driven he can be
maybe then you’re gonna acknowledge him as much as you acknowledge nana :((
:(((((
writing this is making me downright sad, jeno is so underrated and unaware of his power UGH
and i need to point out this is NOT about making you change your bias from jaemin to him, this is solely about having you recognize his efforts, even if you already do
if you just thought jeno was like going off in work because it was asked of him to, jaemin would DEF notice and talk to you about it
turns out it’s a habit of jeno to go extra hard sometimes and he needs someone to make him take a break
so it goes down like you breaking into the practice room when jeno and jisung were practising
the first reaction is confusion
the second is oh hey babe how are you
third is
a-are you dragging jeno and his bag out of the door while screeching at jisung to order pizza and doughnuts for everyone??
yes you are and i’m proud of you
so jeno is still confused and making those cute “hUh” noises he does omg i love him so much
and you’re just rambling about how much of an amazing artist he is, and you love his voice, and he’s a fantastic dancer, and his expressions and gestures are on point, and he takes such good care of the dreamies and
he’s perfect
and he knows jaemin must have talked to you, and he feels so vulnerable to have you know how on edge he’s been
baby boy just needs some rest
and that’s exactly what you give him, with a bath full of those fancy bath bombs and flower petals and candles at your house/apt
then a quick sheet mask while you massage his shoulders and keep saying how much you genuinely admire him
the mask might be ruined cus he started crying out of exhaustion
after that’s been done and you’ve hugged for at least like 5 min nonstop, you head over to the dorms, where hyuck was in charge of setting up a blanket fort while mork and nana gather board games, jisung gets the food and chenle
well chenle just had to make sure jisung doesn’t forget to order for someone and doesn’t break like 10 plates trying to set the table lol
this is way longer than the others so imma wrap it up
make it obvious and loud that you see and respect jeno’s hard work and he’ll be alright again
and maybe make those game nights a weekly thing when possible, it would make him very happy
he’ll never again feel sad when you praise jaemin cus now he’s sure he does enough, and above all, he is enough
Haechan
Tumblr media
haechan = full sun
why would you ever bias someone when you’re dating the goddamned sun
does not understand
but also does not care that much
actually, one out of two really depending on who your bias is
if it’s one of the members he has that tom/jerry relationship with, prepare for so
much
complaining
and clinging
AND HE’D BE SO LOUD OH MY FUCKING GOD
donghyuck please stop screaming about doyoung not deserving to be your baby’s bias, it’s 2 am
on the other hand, if it’s one of the (few) members he,,,
adores with all of his heart and is not afraid to show it
ex: sungchan, jaehyun, taeil and yang2x
then you can bet he’s going to be right beside you whenever you feel like throwing a fit because he’s just so handsome and talented
IF IT’S MARK OSHDISJD
i’m going to write you as being mark biased ok? ok
i honestly don’t know if he’d feel more jealous of mark or of you
he loves you both
a lot,,,,
and he really doesn’t like it when mark blushes when you compliment him
and he doesn’t like it when mark literally just walks past you and you trip over your feet because bro tf u doing, that’s some embarrassing shit
lowkey done with you two
but also PAY HIM SOME ATTENTION
or don’t, he’s fine either way (cue crossed arms and staring at you from across the room until you come give him a kiss)
“he’s pretty cute but i’m cuter right baby”
pouty pouty pouty if he ever feels neglected
will be so fucking annoying lmao i can’t write haechan, i love him but i do understand why renjun is always trying to beat him up
he’d be a show-off in a different way than mark because he can be so petty
will take every chance he gets to pull a one-liner
will sing everything he has to say just so you know he can hit those high notes
what do you mean dream doesn’t have a schedule today
oh man, he could swear they did
because that is the sole reason why he’s wearing his most expensive clothes and shoes + makeup to walk around the dorms, yes
no he doesn’t want to impress you
shut up
will text you like every single fancam he sees on twitter
every
single 
one
and are they mark’s?
lol no, they’re his
he is so genuinely trying to make you a member of his sunflower cult 
<whispers> “tell me i’m your bias” 
“donghyuck what the actual hell why are you standing at the end of my bed in the middle of the night like a fucking demon child”
he really wants to act all cool and composed but he wants to be your bias so fucking bad
he’s a bad bitch all around and just does whatever
cus haechan privilege
and he tends to not care about what people say and think???
bc he knows he’s lee donghyuck
he’s fully aware of the effect he has on people
but you
not biasing him
naw, he can’t take it
will do anything and everything he can to make you say, JUST ONE TIME, he’s your bias
then you can go back to loving (his) mark
so for your sake, for his sake, for mark’s sake
just give donghyuck what he wants
i can promise he’ll keep being an ass no matter what you do
like yeah did you just buy him coffee and his favourite cake? well that’s sweet but iS HE YOUR BIAS YET
“aw babe thanks so much for taking a bullet for me but now please say i’m your bias”
if you still don’t do it, it’s time to be extra petty
will actually drop you for mark
his logic is something like: he can’t be your bias? pity, so he’s just gonna date him instead
and mark is mark so he has no idea what’s going on
everyone in 127 and dream finds this absolutely hilarious cus suddenly donghyuck seems to be doing his best to win over mark’s heart and i mean more than usual???? and he’s treating you like his bro????
<you leaving the dorms to go to uni or smth so you go to hyuck for a goodbye kiss> “no can do, i’m committed”
“i’m your partner”
“no that’s mark”
it’s not 100% a joke when i say i can see him getting down in one knee to propose to mark while making eye contact with you to
assert his dominance
and mark is just
“dude
what HAHAHA”
and you are so done, i’m so sorry you have to go through that bby
i don’t think there’s another way to fix haechan other than just admitting he was your bias for an era, or a comeback or something
like yeah with the other dreamies before him it’s bonding + healing time bc i wrote it all kinda angsty (lol sorry) but with donghyuck
no
“will you stop this if i say you were my bias during reload era”
“mark wasn’t in dream that era tho”
“yes i know”
i say he’s gonna take what he can get and now things can finally go back to normal
with the exception that something else comes along with hyuck being satisfied with you biasing him
he just has a full pass to fanboy over mark now too
what am i talking about?
new 127 mv is out
you: watching it beside haechan and going off about how pretty mark looks
him: going off even harder bc he’s whipped too
this is what a happy couple looks like 
but now i pity mark because he has you two idiots fanboying over him irl
savemork2021
Jaemin
Tumblr media
nana is just such a chill and fun guy
i can’t see him being actually jealous or anything if he finds out you bias someone else
and so the two of you become insufferable together
bitch, i’m telling you
he (ur bias) is not gonna have one peaceful day ever again in his entire life
cus you know the thing jaemin does where he just looks at someone doing some random shit and goes “oOoOoH sExY”
yes that thing
he’s doing it to your bias 
and you’re doing it too
and your bias probably wants to run away to some very far away land
PLEASE IF IT’S JISUNG
i’m not gonna write this whole thing as if you bias him but let’s just imagine
two fully grown people
pilling on top of poor, poor park jisung playing games on his phone
“URI JISUNGIEEEEEE
MWOYA, MWOYAAAA~"
i genuinely think he would avoid being around you two at the same time
cus individually he can handle it
like yes y/n please let me go this hug has lasted for about 4 minutes now
or oh hi jaemin hyung my cheeks hurt when you pinch them that hard
but when you two are together
bruh
a power couple not bc you two are v confident or some shit but bc you can and will be extremely affectionate towards anyone that comes too close
and now let’s talk about how it would be if you biased jaehyun
jaemin loves jaehyun
they’re 2jae
2jae are soulmates
therefore,,,, it’s also kinda hellish but in a different way???
bc 2jae are on the end of that spectrum about the neos that know how in love the entire world is with them
they’re too powerful
they’re aware of their charm and they do everything they can to rub it in our faces
so the flirting between 2jae and you would be insane
and i mean insane
insane as in even johnny is kinda disgusted tbh bc
they’re doing a photo shoot with the 23 of them for some shit, idk don’t ask me
and of course, you had to tag along
but oh my god you three, please stop calling each other sexy/hot in weird voices now, the staff is staring
there are def rumours the 3 of you are a poly couple lmao
jaehyun denies everything on social media (throwback to saying “no way lol” when we asked if he REALLY slept in the same bed as jungwoo)
but every piece of content there is of you and jaemin or you and jaehyun or just them is so ridiculously flirty
you can bet there are compilations on youtube like 
“y/n being in love with 2jae for 8 minutes heterosexual”
ok i was having way too much fun with that, moving on
i don’t think he’d ever be actually upset about you biasing someone else
he trusts you and treasures you a lot so he doesn’t see the problem in you also appreciating another one of his members
bc gods know he does
he’s a bit in love with everyone so why shouldn’t you be too lol
one time he would feel a bit blue because of it???
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
i think it’s possible he’d turn pouty or whiny or just kinda needy (not in a bad way, he just misses you) when he’s like
done with people
and needs some time away from everything
we know he’s an introvert, even if he acts very, very loud around the boys and it’s honestly just a matter of time until an introvert grows tired of being around humans
it depends on each person, of course, but there’s a 99% chance every once in a while he’ll start to feel too drained
and he’ll need a break to get his energy back
jaemin would probably want you around even when he feels like that, though
i see you being such a big source of comfort for him in a relationship
he enjoys taking care of people so please take care of him too
and for just this one day don’t talk about your bias that much, or don’t leave nana to go over to him to chat
and just cuddle him a lot
that will make him a smiley baby again
and then things are back to how they normally are
and by that i mean most neos hiding from you because they’re scared 
i don’t have a lot to say aside from that so let’s think about the neos that would be the most intimidated by your shared thot aura
dotae would be confused in different ways lol
taeyong would be just ????????????blush/awkward smile/hahaha??????
and doyoung might actually ask what is wrong with you
<points to jeno and his s/o> “why can’t you be like them”
mark would laugh-scream and slap his knee into oblivion whenever you two are cornering him
but then go super shy and be like “dUDE DON’T DO THAT”
resident confident gay jungwoo would rejoice in the attention and make so many goddamned jokes
a literal comedian i love him
i think sicheng and renjun would be on the same wavelength of repugnance towards you lol
chenle would deadass call you weird and tell you to leave him alone
shotaro and kun might faint (or kun will panic-scold you)
taeil is as confused by affection as usual (have you seen the face he makes when haechan kisses him LMFAO he’s smiling but like wondering wtf happened on the inside)
ten is not very amused but might play into it
yangyang: that’s disgusting, man (cue flashbacks to that live with renjun after the from home stage where renjun pretended to lick his hand and slick his hair back,,, catboy injun,,, you know the one)
xiaojun and hendery are such panicked gays they just turn to stare at whoever else is around and make that “help” expression like they’re on the office
haechan is haechan, kinda doesn’t mind it
jeno is used to dealing with this at this point
lucas and yuta love the attention but while yuta will flirt right back lucas is just gonna smile and try to jop his way out of there while screaming
sungchan will go hide behind haechan and say “hyung they’re being dumbasses again”
this turned into ‘how would nct react to you and jaemin being super flirty together’ and i’m not sorry
Chenle
Tumblr media
chenle is so fun to write i love him lmao
okay so
he doesn’t strike me as the possessive type with anyone other than jisung (bc i swear he can be a bit jelly towards his bestie but i think it comes with sungie being the sweetest bean ever, he’s just protective)
he’s such a ray of sunshine and witty jokes and dolphin laughter i love him
back to the plot
he literally couldn’t care less about you biasing someone else
b u t
i will say there’s an exception
this exception is tall, kinda lanky, very awkward and born on the 5th of february
you’ve guessed it, it’s jisung
i think most of the time he’d tease THE SHIT out of you for it because c’mon
you had 22 chances not to mess up
and you still somehow ended up biasing jisung? lol do better next time
and this is not me and chenle hating on jisung, please—
he’d just find it funny that your bias is his best friend and
hold the fuck up
your bias is his best friend
oH NO NO NO NO NO
i think after realizing that he would lowkey try to keep you two apart because he’s somehow jealous of both????
and if he can’t help it then you can bet your ass he will be screaming all along
it’s his sweet, dummy jisung
with his sweeter and dummier y/n
what is he going to do
probably has a mini-breakdown with kun because like he’s always wanted you two to get along bUT NOT LIKE THAT
kun will just sigh like the tired father he is and pet his back while saying “there, there”
and a genius idea is going to come to chenle’s mind
you know the teasing thing?
well it’s upgrade time
he’s gonna turn into such a try-hard with tmi and embarrassing shit you two have done
and he’s not trying to stop you from being friends
he just wants you to like
know who you’re befriending
bc i think since he’s really really close to jisung, he doesn’t want you getting closer to him bc you like his idol side alone
and he doesn’t want jisung getting close to you just because you’re his partner either
if you had high hopes for each other and ended up kinda falling face-first into the ground bc it was nothing like you had imagined—
he’d be so broken
because he loves you so much :((((
so like, if you can get past the teasing and annoying barrier he’s putting up, he’ll be more than happy to have two of the most important people in his life being buddies
so get ready for it
if you’re the type of person to go batshit crazy when you drink, oh boy, oh boy
so you and the dreamies are just having dinner when lele feels like it’s the perfect time to disclose some of your drunken adventures
“hey y/n”
“yeah babe?”
“remember that time you got really really drunk on vodka and candy and wanted to call your mom”
“chenle the hell don’t talk ab—”
“but then you tried using the microwave as a phone”
“...”
“...”
“or that other time you were equally as drunk and watched the make a wish mv and cried because you noticed the height difference between xiaojun hyung and lucas hyung”
yeah so now’s the part you get up to chase him around the dorms and try to land a kick
BUT WORRY NOT, HE’LL MAKE SURE TO EMBARRASS JISUNG JUST AS MUCH
he likes doing that when it’s just the three of you though
so picture this
movie night the girls boys
chenle would 100% pick the most terrifying horror movie he can find so that he could see jisung clinging to whoever’s closest to him
and then right before a jumpscare, he’d whisper like
“jisung”
“w-what”
“why don’t you do that thing you were doing while you slept last night”
(honestly, i’d be mildly scared if i heard lele say this with no context at all)
and then the jumpscare happens and jisung is nearly fainting and crying at the same time
but chenle is laughing
and trying to get out what he wants to tell you between wheezes
“he-he” <dolphin wheeze> “hE WAS SINGING CHEER UP BY TWICE WHILE SLEEPING” <more wheezes>
and look this is just gonna go on for weeks until you and jisung are over it
and stop being weird and awkward around each other
lele needs you two to be bros ok
so be bros
once you do adapt to being pals with your bias i think chenle would take the teasing down a notch just to make you more comfortable
and like he’s so happy now the three of you can hang out and there’s just no tension
happy chenle is the thing i love the most i swear to gods
and if you don’t adapt to it?
well,,,
i honestly think he’d be pretty disappointed, cus it means to him one of you isn’t ready to fully embrace the weirdness within????
and like what u scared of
jisung is a weirdo, what about it, so are you
either that or he’d think you’re maybe being judgemental
so yeah please accept jisungie and your dumbass boyfriend
then everyone can be besties
i love thinking about the three of you as just this hellbound chaotic trio
because chenji already wreak havoc wherever they go as the two of them
but now that you’re coming along,,,,
no neo would escape from your pranks ever again (and even members of other groups lmfao watch out sehun, i’m talking to you)
and it’s so incredible infuriating in a good way that it just turns to be endearing
you’re cute as fuck so no one gets actually mad with the shit you pull????
which is dangerous, someone should really keep an eye out on the three of you 
we don’t need sm to be on fire
well we kinda do cus they’re pretty bad but not my point
i said somewhere above that chenle would tone the teasing down but i don’t mean he’d stop
bc c’mon guys
he’s chenle
no limits here
but sorry, i really cannot write jealous!chenle cus his heart is just too pure and filled with joy for him to be jealous for real
last scenario?
chenle after a comeback stage: ya y/n, i was gonna ask how was my performance today but you were probably more focused on jisung’s arms right
jisung is choking on water somewhere behind you
Jisung
Tumblr media
it’s maknae time <plays i.n’s maknae on top>
i don’t mean to picture jisung as being like
ridiculously innocent or just downright naive because i really dislike it when people do that
he’s a literal 19 yo and jaemin himself has said he’s not as innocent as we think lol
however
i do see him as being quite new to all things love 
i think you’d probably be his first partner and with first relationships comes a lot of other firsts
first kiss maybe, first time holding hands, first time being jealous….
first time being jealous, yes, focus on that
i don’t think jisung would be aware that like
you not biasing him is even a possibility
cuz you’re dating
doesn’t that come along????
ah poor baby i love him
if you biased chenle i think he’d be just
disgusted and weirded out but okay?? you do you i guess???
he’s comfortable enough with lele to not feel intimidated
but if it’s another member
ESPECIALLY one of the oldest ones
i think it would be a blow straight to his confidence 
you biasing ten, kun, taeil, taeyong, doyoung or johnny and maybe yuta would make him feel a bit hesitant and concerned
his first thought would probably be that you don’t like being with someone as young as him
and who knows, maybe you’re even younger than him, maybe you’re the same age, but what if you actually like older guys??
what about him then???
and jisung doesn’t mean to feel so worried and insecure, ok, pls understand where i’m coming from
first relationships normally take like a very long time to build trust and acceptance of the other person’s feelings bc it’s literally a whole new world for you
and that goes extra hard for jisung because he is so fucking whipped for you it’s still hard to believe you like him as much
and it absolutely does not cross his mind that you’d cheat on him with your bias, GODS NO
he really respects you and his hyungs 
so no, never
that’s not a thing that can happen
but you realize you’re too good for him and maybe see he doesn’t fit your ideal type?
well, yes, that’s what he’s thinking
probably goes straight to chenle or renjun (he talks about renjun so much asjahj) to vent and ask for advice
i think they’d be surprised to see what’s going on inside his pretty little head because it’s so obvious for everyone that you just adore jisung
and they do tell him that
however, i don’t think it would completely calm his nerves, and again, this has nothing to do with not trusting you
it’s just that
his hyungs are so cool…
HE CAN’T HELP IT OK
would probably try to mirror your bias (i’m saying it’s taeyong for the sake of what i’ve imagined ok) and like
grasp onto some of his qualities?
so in his mind taeyong is: nice, sweet, caring, amazing, perfect, smart, perfect, sexy, mature and did i mention perfect
i can see him trying some new rap styles that mimic tyong’s a bit???
like would lowkey learn his raps from cherry bomb and superm’s one and listen to recordings frequently to pick up on how taeyong does it
i think he’d also just change the way he acts in general to dodge a bit from his maknae image
so now he tries to speak with a more formal-ish language and learns random facts about things you like to seem more intelligent???
“good morning y/n, you look as beautiful as one of voiello’s paintings today :]”
“wait i thought that was a pasta brand”
he’s just trying to show you he can be mature and serious if you want him to
long story short, he’s not acting like himself (not that he’s childish, he’s just out of it) and you don’t like it, so you ask about it and wait for him to feel comfortable with sharing
when he does talk about it breaks your heart so much :((
you’re going to need some patience to try and show him you’d choose him, and not your bias, even if you had the chance
they’re completely different people and you love him BECAUSE he’s jisung, not for any other reason
please reassure him so he can go back to acting like his authentic self, i think it would be such a relief for him too
your words and affection are obviously enough for him, but if it ever happens that he feels especially low and insecure again, it would help if your bias talks to him too
and taeyong wouldn’t have a problem with it
actually, scratch that, taeyong probably knew what was going on all along
he just has that motherly 7th sense (ay) that is even more acute with the dreamies cus like 
127 has him, wayv has kun, but dream has…
the dreamies
and that, my friend, is terrifying
anyway he’d come to talk to jisung asking like “what’s wrong buddy :(“ and sungie would be a bit ashamed because it sounds so silly when you say it out loud
of course tyong wouldn’t judge him, and he just really has to tell jisung what is it you and he are always talking about
it’s him
“when they come around to talk and hang out here it all goes back to you, jisungie. they can’t spend one second without mentioning your name
it’s so cute; it’s always like ‘oh jisung would love this’ or ‘jisung likes it that way’
so please be kinder to yourself and let yourself see that they’re in love with you, not with me and not with any other member they ever mention”
jisung would feel 10000000% better
and smiley
and giggly
and oh my god do you really talk about him that much
LOOK HE’S BLUSHING
would just go over to your house immediately and hug you, burying his face on your neck from behind you
and not let go
ever again
the whole situation just teaches him a lot about accepting your love for him and not questioning it 
shut up i’m not crying
---
final notes: this was my first work after the humanity series and it was so fun lol i think next up is probs gonna be an ideal type scenario for ot23 (but if i really write it i’m gonna post it by subunit and its gonna be way shorter than this, don’t expect 23K words at once lmao)
if you’ve enjoyed this fic please consider reading my humanity series, which is a zombie apocalypse au with kun <3

Summary: Y/n enjoys bringing fresh flowers to the prince every morning, arranging each bouquet as a surprise. Faced with questions about his feelings about y/n once he learns the meaning of the bouquet brings him, Yeosang doesn’t know how to respond, and y/n can’t bare the embarrassment. Until the Crown Prince braves the worries in his heart and eases y/n’s mind.
An: Happy late birthday zodiac twin lol
Being the royal florist was an honour not many had the privilege of obtaining. And y/n was that lucky man.
A bouquet every morning, freshly picked and to be hand tied. Y/n had done it without fail for the better part of three years for the prince, and that morning was no different. The florist making his way to Yeosang’s private quarters with the bouquet in hand, bowed in respect as he greeted the passing guards. The same hallways, the same guards; Yeosang really hadn’t changed since y/n had first been employed.  Perhaps that was what started the blossoming love in the florists’ heart; a love that stayed hidden behind the meanings of the flowers he prepared for the Crown Prince.
A knock at the door alerted the young prince, his attention drawn away from looking out of his window and towards the bright male at the door, a fresh bouquet of flowers in hand. In the time he had grown to know y/n, Yeosang thought he had learned what the meanings of each bouquet brought to him were. But with a grateful smile that was tinged with a confused curiosity, the prince was drawing a blank. Were these a new species? Crossing his legs as he took a seat at his table, Yeosang watched as y/n set the flowers in a vase, an unnamed longing in his eyes. 
“I see you have awoken earlier than usual, your highness,” Y/n remarked as he accepted Yeosang’s invitation to sit with him. “It is a fine morning, were you planning on travelling to the lake?”
Yeosang simply shook his head, pouring the tea into their cups, “If that was the case, I‘d have invited you to join me, y/n-ssi, believe me. Instead, I must deal with diplomatic issues; there have been rumours of treason in the lands ruled over by the Kims. I fear it will be a long few days of military and diplomatic planning to discuss what to do next.” There was a sigh; a familiar sigh that y/n had grown to dislike. Yeosang wasn’t the type to crack under pressure, but to get absorbed in his duties. Too absorbed. Taking a sip of the tea as he listened to the news,  y/n couldn’t help but let his mind wander. If the Crown Prince was put under this much stress before taking the throne from his father, what would he face as Emperor? Unbeknownst to the royal florist, his features had started to downturn, something Yeosang was quick to notice. Not wishing to see the concern in y/n’s eyes as a result of his words any longer, the young prince looked around the space to find another topic of conversation, his eyes landing on the morning’s flower arrangement.
“Uhm, anyway- tell me about the meaning behind today’s bouquet. I have not since today seen this flora. A new species, perhaps?” As the last question left his lips, Yeosang swore there was a weight lifted off of his chest once y/n’s smile had found its place once again. 
Setting his now empty cup back on the ornate table and excusing himself for a moment, a jog in his steps as he went over to the vase, taking but two flowers out of the arrangement. Returning to his seat, y/n placed both flowers in front of him for the Crown Prince’s viewing.
“I had these flowers delivered especially for your viewing pleasure, my lord~. Dark red carnations and the flower of your birth month, honeysuckle. It is nearing your birthday, I thought you’d want to observe your birth flower.” Y/n explained, a twinge of hope as he rounded off his words. Intrigued, Yeosang leaned in closer, his head resting between his hands. 
“And the carnations?” He’d seen y/n present carnations plenty of times beforehand, the flower was nothing new; it was the shade of carnations that Yeosang was unfamiliar with. A shade he had only seen among portraits of lovers. A moment went by after the Prince’s question, and there was still silence. Drawing his attention away from gazing at the flowers in front of him, Yeosang’s eyes met y/n’s. There was a hesitation in the young florist’s eyes, his face heating with an embarrassed flush as he tried to find the right words. Clearing his throat, y/n spoke, praying his words wouldn’t be misunderstood.
“Dark red carnations mean deep love and affection, my lord. I wanted to give this to you personally.” It was silent for a moment, Yeosang’s eyes widening with an emotion he had never experienced before. But the lack of a reply left y/n’s heart heavy. Y/n’s eyes quivered, faint tears welling up as he started to regret the choice to convey his feelings for Yeosang through flowers, the embarrassment crushing his chest. Confessing? What was y/n thinking? A royal florist, being in a relationship with the Crown Prince? It was ridiculous. Collecting the flowers in a hurry and profusely apologizing, y/n put them back in their place and excused himself, leaving the prince alone in his quarters, confused at exactly what had just happened.
Each day following that event went by more or less the same; y/n would greet the Prince, display the bouquet and excuse himself. No conversations over tea in the morning, confident smiles exchanged for stolen glances - it was clear to everyone working at the palace, even the Prince himself, that there was something wrong with the royal florist. It bothered Yeosang, keeping his mind occupied as he went about with official duties. Despite the urgent need to secure loyalty and avoid the possibility of treason in his and his allies’ kingdoms, Yeosang found himself wondering just what was wrong with his royal florist. His worries hadn’t ceased, not even when Lord Jung arrived at the palace with his delegation for a royal visit.
“...As I was saying, we must hold a competition for our best soldiers-” stopping when he realised Yeosang had been staring into his cup, Wooyoung chuckled, “Yeosang-ssi, are you listening?”
“...Oh? Ah - my apologies, I was lost in thought for a moment; there’s been something plaguing my mind recently.” The Prince explained, an apologetic smile on his face as he set the cup down, forcing a ‘relaxed’ expression as he motioned for his confidant and ally to continue with what was on his mind. However, Wooyoung wasn’t convinced in the slightest, a raise in his brow and a knowing smirk on his face.
“What is it..?”
“You must have forgotten, Prince Yeosang, that we have known each other since we were mere adolescents. I know that look; I’ve seen it before.” Wooyoung mused, calling for his tea to be refilled. The tea refilled, Wooyoung continued, “So tell me, dear friend; who is the person occupying your thoughts? You don’t behave like this often.”
“Wouldn’t you like to know?”
Long after Wooyoung and his delegation had left Yeosang’s kingdom, his parting words had not gone forgotten by the Crown Prince, who watched the river flow from inside the walls of his private quarters. Arms lightly folded as he observed the view in front of his eyes, his attention was drawn to a figure crouched by the flowing stream, hair falling around his shoulders. It took a moment - no longer - for the Prince to recognise who it was, his features brightening into a soft smile as he watched y/n enjoy the weather that day. Even if he didn’t know just what it was, simply watching y/n put Yeosang’s heart at ease, the florist’s presence bringing unintentional smiles to the royal’s face. Catching himself smiling, Yeosang set about making his way to the river’s edge, joining the florist’s company.
In his own world, y/n hadn’t realised that he was no longer alone until he zoned back in from his focused state, tilting his head at the shadow that was blocking the sun. Slowly turning his head and looking up, his mouth hung open as he was frozen in place.
“It would be wise if you closed your mouth, dear y/n. My appearance isn’t that shocking, is it?” The Prince teased, stifling an amused grin as he watched y/n scramble to his feet, dusting his hanbok before bowing a full 90 degrees. Stopping y/n by holding onto the florist’s shoulder, he shook his head, indicating for the older male to stand up straight. 
“My sincerest apologies your highness, I didn’t mean to- of course not, you’re-” a hand held out to stop the brunet from rambling on further - not that he disliked it, but there was something Yeosang wanted y/n to see. Holding an expectant hand out, the Prince pulled the florist with him, no words exchanged until they had arrived at their location. A conservatory, tucked away behind the vast gardens of the palace.
If y/n thought that he had seen everything there was in the palace grounds, seeing the conservatory proved that wrong very quickly. The conservatory was unlike he had ever seen; gold, emerald and lapis encasing the structure, jade vines twirled around the supports. It was beautiful, seats decorated in the finest material. As the florist slowly sat down, his eyes finally landed on the bouquet of carnations. Dark red carnations...the flowers of deep love and admiration. 
As Yeosang watched the florist look between himself and the bouquet displayed on the table in front of them, the words he wished to say were being revised; an error would throw off his plans.
“Your highness...you know what these flowers represent, what have you brought me here for?”
“I imagine you want an answer to your subtle confession?” 
“That...that would be appreciated,” as much as y/n wanted an answer, the florist had made his own assumption a while ago, “but I do understand; I’m just a royal florist, you’re the Crown Prince. Nothing can come out of this-” 
“Y/n, you know I don’t appreciate assumptions. Hear me out first. I will admit that I don’t know how best to describe what my feelings towards you are, but your presence puts me at ease; it’s a pleasant feeling, and I don’t want it to change.” Taking a breath, Yeosang continued, “I want you to stay by my side. Can you do that for me?”
It was quiet in the conservatory, the florist processing the Prince’s words, a soft smile on his face as the realisation hit him. His eyes gleaming with a new sense of hope, y/n nodded, hesitant hands hovering over Yeosang’s own. With the Crown Prince’s approval, y/n held Yeosang’s hands in his own, his smile igniting a smile from the male in front of him.
“I’ll be glad to stay by your side, your highness. It’d be my honour.”
Flowers hold so much meaning, don’t they?

man. there was a LOT in this ep. this post is going to be all over the place so bear with me lol.
i have to say that i am loving the dynamic between dusik and seonghyun. hell, i’m even loving the dynamic between hyejin and seonghyun. he’s obviously a great guy, and i think both hyejin and dusik need him in their lives. even if it only lasts for the next 5 weeks. even if it leads to a love triangle. it’s all good vibes regardless.
i just love the sense of community this village has. yes, there’s some drama and gossip here and there, but for the most part, everyone gets along pretty well. i think this aspect of the village has helped hyejin feel more included in the community, and we can already see her becoming well adjusted to the place. 
i’m also particularly curious to find out who won the lottery 3 years ago. i don’t know why, but i feel like that’s somehow important to finding out about dusik’s past? and speaking of pasts, it was interesting to find out that hyejin had been in a car accident. i’ve seen people theorizing that dusik’s parents died in one. maybe there’s a connection?
lastly, i’m so freaking happy that they included the epilogue scene. this was one of the most vulnerable moments between hyejin and dusik. i fear that dusik will take a while to be this vulnerable again (while sober), but i just hope that something will happen to mitigate his fear of opening up. he is so afraid that she might distance herself from him, but they both have been grieved in some way in the past. they have each other to talk about these things. he will realize this soon ♡

I’ve rewatched episode 12 about 5 times now and i can honestly rewatch it 10 x more.
Aside from the aegyo (a dash of aegyo is fine but the way SMA did aegyo in the sunrise scene was so forced and so hard to watch sorry), everything that sikhye went thru as a new couple was relatable to me which is why i find this episode so enjoyable.
1. Hyejin’s bucket list included a pretentious fancy date at a museum - i personally have had these thoughts in my mind when planning dates with my past bfs, like fine dining etc. It’s not cause i’m fancy, it’s just cause
2. Dusik’s petty jealousy. Lol this i loved the most. KSH’s acting in that drumstick scene with SMA. Urgh i could repeat all day. And i for one have been that level of petty when in a new relationship lol. Jealousy disappears after a while though once we’ve settled in to the relationship. So it was a pretty fair and accurate potrayal of new relationships
3. Hyejin’s overthinking of dusik’s “yes, you too” after she sent 46 characters worth of text msgs. Lol haven’t we all been there before
4. editing this to add this point. The art course girlfriend during college convo at the musuem hahaha i did this and i still do this with my husband, and my husband reacts the exact same way
5. And lastly, i also earn more than my husband so to see that whole convo on doing whatever she wants with her money was pretty wholesome
Can’t wait for the next 4 episodes and waiting for ksh to show us more of his acting prowess in scenes revealing his trauma

whew!! yall!!! where do i even start?! should i start with my undying and obvious love for big brother mafia boss kim namjoon? should i start with my fierce loyalty and protection for little sister kim y/n? should i start with my slow growing love and appreciation for mafia man and protector jung hoseok? the growth of yn and hoseok’s relationship throughout each chapters was 😙👌 
don’t read under the cut if you haven’t read the series yet bc i’ll b talking about each chapter meaning there’ll be lots of spoilers
but plsplspspslps if u luv mafia!aus or if you have an interest in them but can’t deal with extreme angst/hurt then this fic is for you!! you’ll definitely hurt! :D it’s a mafia au after all LOL but it won’t be unbearable 😂😂
ONE:
fuck u hyejin. lmfaodf akjfaej now that i know what a SNKE U ARE !!!! BEGONE!!!! also yes. i fell in lov with joonie from the very begining. growing up in such a cold hearted lifestyle, anyone is bound to become hardened. esp namjoon, as a male and as the heir. and especially after his sister left. one would think after the only person who came close to understanding him leaves him to bear the burden alone, he would completely close up. but no, he grew into a far superior and intelligent man than his father. and the proof lies in his leadership. as ana wrote it “Namjoon single-handedly pulled the crime syndicate into a new era, dusted it off and dressed it up.” 
coming into this series, not really knowing much about their sibling dynamic, i wasn’t expecting such... respect and idk how to put it?? but that they can speak comfortably to each other? i mean, i’ve finished the series so i obviously know now the reason why their relationship never soured but when i first read this, i was kind of amazed that neither held any bitterness towards each other. and now knowing why namjoon was insistent on having hoseok stay with her at all times, even living with her -- truly he cares for her so so much. but also, because we’re reading from y/n’s pov, i was like “ugh, insufferable overprotective big brother at it again” LOL i still wonder why namjoon assigned hoseok though. and why not another man that they both knew. 
and of course, the introduction to hoseok. i don’t blame him for his preconceived opinion of her. after all, he knew next to nothing about her so he formed an opinion based on what he knew and how she presented herself. of course, i wish he hadn’t been so quick to judge her but it makes for good character development later in the series hehehe
TWO:
fuck you donghyuk. idk who i hate more. him or hyejin. djfalskd. maybe hyejin. bc donghyuk was just a casual hookup. hyejin was y/n’s trusted friend and coworker. fuck her. fuck them both. dsfhakajef
LOL @ y/n stealin looks at hoseok when he’s driving. the stealth.... is non existent LOL
ok but moving onto hoseok’s pov. it hurt to see him thinking that way about her and himself. that he thinks she thinks of him that way. And that he's having to constantly remind himself of it so he doesn't yknow do the normal thing one would do when you have a roommate. Talk. Ahshwj. not @ y/n being surprised seeing him in his sleep clothes hahahaha. that forreal made me LOL when i first read it. 
There were so many lines that caught my attention in this chapter. So much to unpack. With the way yns
THREE:
ana i have a question. did you already know the bottle shatter info before this series or did you have to do some research? and if so, how was the research? LOL. what else did you learn that you didn’t include?hahahaa........oooohkay it got dark real quick. i remember reading this i was like oh shit oh shit another piece of the puzzle is revealed to us. how terrible to live with a physical reminder of such a nightmare that you can see every time you see your reflection for the rest of your life....
again, we get to see y/n and hoseok’s perceived opinions about each other. ah, the human mind. how judgmental we all are lol.
donghyuk was annoying before i found out who he really was. now that i know and am revisiting this series, he’s just... so pathetic. lol. i’m getting ahead of myself but i was actually happy? that she did not give a fuck that he died. (now i’m REALLY getting ahead of myself but not @ her getting turned on knowing hoseok beat his face jsdklfalefah pLZ)
i love that even though y/n really... doesn’t want anything to do with her family and particularly their... family business, she doesn’t appreciate the way people talk shit about them and refer to them as mere dirty thugs.
also props to hobi for staying calm and helping yn to stay calm when getting that snek sjdfka plz. props to all people who have to feign calmness bc they know if they freak out too nothing would get done. i could feel y/n’s tense fear bro. cause i was tense reading it lol. scary!! finding out the snake isn’t poisonous doesn’nt make me feel any better either.
FOUR:
tHE WHIPLASH I GOT FROM THE OPENING SCENE OF THIS CH JSDLFJKWAEKJFE it’s nice seeing them... communicating with each other finally. even if it’s stilted and awkward and barely verbal.
“Not once have you ever seen this man smile, and he’s certainly never smiled at you.” -oof. that line hurted.
OH HEY LOOK ITS THE BITCHASS MR PARK! FFUUUUCCKKKK YYYOOUUUUU!!!!1111 WORST BOSS AWARD !! GOES TO MR FUCKING PARK! what the honest fuck it really really appalled me to find out that he was dirty too. that he berated her made her feel terrible and made it out to be her fault when he was the one at fault. and the AUDACITY he had to come @ hoseok!!! omg. makes me so angry. mrs park do you know ur husband is trash. cause he’s trash. 
also oOoOFFF!!!!!!!! the fight!!! danggg those words they both lashed out HURTED! that was painful to read through. 
FIVE:
....and then he left. “That’s when it hits you. You don’t smell coffee.” -that hURTed. obviously i know that he didn’t leave because of her - i mean, yes because of her. but like, not bc he couldn’t stand to be around her anymore. i knew -- before i found out the reason why he left -- that he left to deal with something and i was glad to find out i was right. 
“When he gets down on one knee and reaches out a hand to brush your cheek you don’t see the grown man at the helm of Seoul’s largest criminal empire.  You see the brother who took care of you when no one else would.” 🥺😭😭 have you realized how much i love namjoon yet? cause if not let me say it again. i love kim namjoon. and after finding out more about their past and all the hardships they went through together,,, the goodness in his heart for his sister. oh my glob. i’ve melted into a puddle. i’m weak. and i’m grateful for getting the chance to witness their first real, honest conversation in so long. the love and respect they have for one another is palpable. i love them. they deserve everything good and more.
I cannot believe the trauma they went through as children. To the point where yn almost died. Oh ny god. That's some scary shit man. And namjoon protecting her the best way he could. By threatening his position as heir. When he said "one of us should have gotten to choose" and that he knew it would never be him 😭😭😭😭 that this life isn't what he chose. And yet here he is now. A man so powerful and yet still so human especially when it comes to his beloved sister.
“Just know that there is a part of me that will always be waiting for you to come back.” SQQUUUEUEEEWHKJWHHJEHWKJEWAF I’M GETTING AHEAD OF MYSELF AGAIN BUT HSDJFKAE !!!!! SHE DOES NAMJOON JUST YOU WAIT SHE WILL COME BACK TO YOU AGAIN DSJKFHLEKWJHA BOSS BABIE SIBLINGS!!! 😭🤧💙💙💙
“Namjoon picks up his desk phone to reach his assistant, who makes quick work of finding a bottle and a clean glass.  She delivers both with practiced silence before slipping out of the room.  Hoseok can’t help but notice his boss’s gaze lingering on the pretty young woman as she retreats. He keeps his mouth shut because he’s not an idiot.” --EEEEKKK I WAS ALREADY A WEAK SIMP FOR JOON BUT AFTER THIS I BECAME AN EVEN WEAKER SIMP. SDJAKFAHLWKEJ HOW I DAYDREAMED OF BIG BOSS MAN FALLING IN LOVE WITH HIS ASSISTANT DSJKFKHAL AND NOW ITS COME TRUUUU DJKFHALWKEJ I FORREAL CANNOT WAIT FOR MORE UPDATES OF GUILTY!!!WHAT R U GUILTY OF?!?+ OTHER THAN WANTING TO FUCK THE BEJEEZUZ OUTTA HER?!?×?@*×(@ WHICH I AM 100% OK WITH NAMJOONIE JFALJSDHFLA whew ok. i am calm. :-)
the guilt hoseok must’ve felt after his conversation with namjoon. “I know what people say about my sister, Hoseok” and he was one of them. 
AKKAAKKDAKJAKSDJKLASHDF AND THEN!!!! AND THEN!!!!!!!!!!!11 HE COMES BACK!! HE COMES HOME!!! AND HE SEES HER!! AND HE’S SO! i dont know when it happened. when their feelings for each other changed. from dismissive to this absolute care for one another. But i am liVING FOR IT! and then the confession that slipped from his lips ajehlfkja AND HIM BRACING FOR REJECTION BUT SHE DOESNT AND THEN !!!! AND THEN!!!11 HOT AND HEAVY MAKEOUT SESSION! 1AND !! HE KISSES HER SCAR! OH MY GLOB I AM MELTING! IHAVE MELTED! AND THEN!!! HE POPS A FUCKING BONER AND THEY BOUTTA BONE!!!!! AND THEN!!!!!!!!
and then namjoon and yoongi and jk have to come cockblock him.... oh boy. pretty sure joon knew what was up lmaaoooo. he’s too smart not to know. pretty sure they all knew what was up. hahaha
SIX:
not @ joon egging hoseok on bc he knows something’s going on between him and his sister LOL
everything after this moment is just intense and fast paced and my mind oculd barely catch up and by the time i knew it y/n and hobi are sharing a moment and yoongi makes it all the more better with his amazing self HAHA
anD THE SEX! WHEEW!!! SO HEATED!!! SO FULL WITH WANTING AND DESIRE AND CARNAL LUST WHEEWWWW FUCK YEAH! YOU GET THAT DICK YN! YOU GET THAT PUSSY HOSEOK! YALL DESERVE ! when y/n was like “i wanna make you feel good” -- FELT THAT GURL! i will fully 100% admit i pictured a sweaty hoseok fucking into yn with sweaty hair clinging to his forehead and his chains bouncing off his chest 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵 omg 🥵🥵🥵🥵 wheewww
SEVEN:
this epilogue is honestly the best cherry on top of a wonderful series concluded. kim taehyung i love you so much my dear. “this is just my face?????” LOOLLL. i lov ehim. 
“You don’t wait for the pitiful bitch to choke out a response, turning on your heels and leaving her in the dust.“ ooOOOFFFF yES !! LET THAT BITCH TASTE THE DUST OFF UR SHOES! !! 
“You’re worth a hundred times that amount.” 😭😭😭😭 NAMJOONIE OH HOW I LOV UUU!!!!!!!! WHEN HE ASKS IF SHES HAPPY 😭😭 WHEN SHE ASKS WHAT ABOUT HIS HAPPINESS 😭😭😭 
ALSO I'M SO SO DO DIDI SO SO DO SO HAPPY THAT SHE CAME TO WORK FOR THE GAJOG. IT'S ALL COME FULL CIRCLE YOU KNOW?! All her life she'd been running from the gajog. And it's a slow revelation but she eventually realizes it's not what it used to be. The source of her pain and terror is gone and replaced with someone who loves her very very much. The fact that she was always regretful for leaving her brother behind. I had a feeling she'd one day return - if for no reason other than namjoon. And I'm glad to know i was right. But also that she came to the conclusion that all people are selfish sneks. But at least the gajog- or more importantly, her brother doesn't try to pretend. She's learned to accept this life and now lives to protect them the way they protected her. :")
ALSO ALSOS ALSO SJJDWKDLEL CAN U IMAGINE THE MOMENT WHEN HOBI GIVES THE DOGTAGTO HE ROMGKEK ;;w;; i know he's not physically present in this epilogue but his thick aura is plenty tangible with his chains on her. What was once nothing but jewelry attached to a cold man now serves as a constant warm reminder that they love and trust each other. I've imagined every fluffy scenario possible and my heart flounders each time. Did you have a scene about this ana? Or have you thought about when he gave it to her? I'd like to know your thoughts:") ....if you've even read this far 😂😂😂
 EXTRA:
i think @evierecs said it perfectly about wanting to know more more more about this mystery man hoseok. and his background, his home life, his childhood, his life in the military, why he joined the Gajog, everything about him. “but at the end of the day we didn’t need it because his character was fully fleshed out without it - his sense of honor, his personal moral code, his practical experience and ruthless (in a good way) behavior.” - YES to all of this. I couldn't have said it better myself
it’s been a long while since i’ve read a series and i’m really glad i found this one. i hope i’ve conveyed just a little how much i enjoyed this beautiful series. i’ve enjoyed watching not just y/n and hoseok but also namjoon grow as individuals and as pairings.
Also the titles for each chapter are genius. I especially love the champain one. Ngl it took me a minute to get it LOL and i forget who it was but they said something great about the nicknames you chose for the kim siblings and im very inclined to agree that the names are so very fitting. And it really warmed my heart anytime they addressed each other that way ;;w;;
