Helping SF9 heal from a bad breakup

but reader has bad intentions 🌶

Context: you and him were friends for a while, but now that he is single again you feel a hard crush striking you (again)

Pairing: sf9 x gn reader

Genre: more suggestive than explicit smut, there's angst but it isn't the focus.

Warnings: bad words, mentions of cheating, mentions of sex, suggestive touches, alcohol.

Bonus song rec: XO, by I.M

Youngbin:

He is the type to stay home and not talk much about the breakup while he recovers. He is moody and doesn't want to infect you with his vibe. Yet even he had to admit that it was lasting too long so he started seeing you after work with a smile on his face.

You perceived his fakeness but didn't comment on it. The way he kept you company on your way home was adorable. You were becoming closer with each passing day.

At some point, you only needed a small move to kiss his neck in the middle of a goodbye hug, and so you did. He stuttered your name and you just shushed him "You should get in, Binnie"

He let you walk him in and resume your hot kiss on his neck while comfortably sitting on his lap. "You're so good to me, y/n" he sighs. You felt his fingers squeezing your thigh.

Inseong:

Inseong almost fooled you, he gave you the news about his breakup with a quite calm tone even though the history was awful. He immediately started seeing you more often, just like you did when you two were single.

You even dragged him to buy new gym clothes because he was like bubblegum, glued to you. You had to admit you liked his silly face following you around, but at times you noticed hints of sadness in his expression.

"Hey, Seongie. I'm in doubt about these two shorts. Do you think this one will look better on my... butt?

He genuinely laughed at your jest, he couldn't see you had a true interest in him. So you asked if his ex was bold enough to take him to a dressing room and make out there. You ended up pinning him up against the mirror.

Jaeyoon:

He in fact believes that he might recover faster if he fucks around. But he won't tell his best friend that he has been seeing a new person. Especially if he doesn't like them much.

You haven't seen him a lot since his chaotic breakup but you heard rumors about him, then you openly asked him about that.

"That's nothing serious, y/n. I'm not introducing them to my family or something"

"You know what?" you asked him touching his hair a bit. "I know a way to make you feel better than this"

Jaeyoon definitely didn't want to give you any part in such a situation. However, as soon as you looked at him with those curious eyes and a promise on your lips he changes his mind.

You take his t-shirt off and start sucking on his abs, chest, nipples...

Dawon:

Dawon becomes just a shadow of what his true self is. Your best friend, who is the life of the party, is now sipping his drink at the corner. "Don't wanna scream your lungs out at the karaoke like a normal person?" you asked him after bumping his shoulder with your own. "Maybe it will help"

"I'm fine, y/n" he lies.

"I see" you respond. "I'll stay here with you if you don't push me away"

He would never. In a gesture of gratitude, he smooched you on the cheek.

You got closer until your body was pressing his, but he didn't move a millimeter. You looked up to see his face and he was already studying you.

"There are things I wanna do to you"

"Hope they are very nasty things" he spat back and offered you his drink.

You drank from the glass while piercing him with the gaze of an animal. He was no different, deep down all he needs is a good blowjob.

Rowoon:

Seokwoo was slightly embarrassed with the way things ended. One day he was the happiest man alive, then the next day his girl changed him for another guy.

"I'm not saying you have to take revenge, but you can do it" you suggested while you all had a relaxing walk around his neighborhood.

"Even if I wanted to... I don't see how" he answered with a weird delay.

You chuckled and took his hands, interlacing your fingers with his.

"She has an ego after all, she may think me and you had a thing while you were with her"

That started with casually walking up holding hands where his ex could see and ended with him under you and begging to have you. "I don't know, Seokwoo... maybe sex is too much" you provoke.

Zuho:

It's like he is losing all his talent, he told you in a moment of weakness. "I shouldn't be bothering you with my problems" he apologizes right after. He felt like working in his music could help him out of that breakup but where is his inspiration when he needs it?

"That's alright, I'm not bothered. I think you need to clean your mind from those hard feelings before you can make something new." You squeeze his thigh in a signal of partnership. His tattoo was under your palm and you lingered your eyes there for a while.

He placed his hand over yours and rubbed your skin with his thumb.

"Any idea?" he questioned with anticipation.

You moved your hand to smoothly feel his inner thigh as well, which made his shorts lift a bit.

"You're not bothering me, neither using me, okay? I want you."

He gave in and let you touch his body freely, you could feel how curious he was about what you would do next.

Yoo Taeyang:

"I hope you're doing better now" you voiced after giving your friend a warm hug.

Since that breakup everyone heard about, Taeyang hasn't been spotted but now you were together.

"I do" he answered with a sigh. "I'm even wearing the t-shirt she hated!"

You melted inside. Taeyang has always been an adorable guy. His sensitive side makes you want to protect him.

"You look hot in it" you strike just to see him chuckle. "I mean it, I would hit you if we weren't just friends."

"What's the problem about being friends?" he unexpectedly replied.

You came closer nodding at his consideration. "You should kiss me wearing this tee or take it off..."

Hwiyoung:

Unlikely Zuho, Hwiyoung spends his days writing his little emo songs about his ex. "That's my way to cope, y/n" he explained to you when you visited him. "Do you wanna read them?"

"Sorry, babe, but I'm not here to hear more about that girl"

"Oh, you're right. I'm dumb"

You hold his face between your hands and shook your head no. He wasn't dumb at all, he was a gorgeous man who did not deserve to suffer. "I've been thinking about kissing away these dark circles around your eyes."

His lips parted in surprise but he didn't attempt to move away. You could lean in and Hwyoung simply let you explore his face, brushing your mouth against his cheekbones and eyelids while he held on your waist.

Chani:

You were afraid that Chani's bedroom would become empty. He couldn't stop finding things to throw away.

"Fuck her, I should set fire to all this shit but I don't wanna contribute to the global warming"

You held your laugh because above all, he was sad.

"Chani, come here". You saw his demeanor change to something softer at your call. "That girl was a bitch but you will be fine"

He stood up and faced you, that was so clear that he took everything you ever say in consideration.

"You're right. I'm too stressed out"

You took both his hands and interlaced your fingers with his.

"Why did we stopped hooking up?" You smoothly asked.

Chani shrugged and moved your arms to the top of his shoulders, so he could kiss you more naturally. That was a needy kiss, his tongue traced your lips before intruding in.

This Week in BL - When good chemistry goes bad

May 2023 Wk 3 

Being a highly subjective assessment of one tiny corner of the interwebs. Organized by which ones (in each category) I’m enjoying most.

Ongoing Series - Thai

La Pluie (Sat iQIYI) ep 4 of 10 - yes it jumped to the top of the standings, the kiss was THAT good, best of the year so far. So soft and yet so sweet and yearning and with a proper chemistry - body, breath, everything. Also... there was plot happening this ep, but who cares about that? Some additional thoughts, now my brain has rebooted from that kiss. I do suspect Pat of still being a player: he is awful smooth, and he may want revenge for being jacked along for 2 years (I would). Ep 4 is early for a kiss like that, which means pacing-wise we may be in for a separation/break up around ep 8. 

Step By Step (Thai Tues WeTV & Gaga) ep 5 of 10 (MDL still says 12, but Gaga still says 10) - Pat, dear, your gay is squirting all over our screens. Meanwhile… That is the smallest presidential suite bed I’ve ever seen. Lucky for us of course. And lucky for Jeng. Me with the side dishes = UH OH. 

Our Skyy 2 (My School President) eps 9-10 - Alt reality where Tinn is in charge of the music club and Gun is the school president with the crush. Basically, it’s an excuse for them to play each others’ parts (which just highlighted how well they were cast, originally). Ultimately, Gemini is a better piner, and Fourth is a better tsundere. Although the reversed “holding it over his head” was v funny & Fourth IS a decent seme. (I also realized what I like so much about Fourth, like Saint he’s one of those rare full body actors.) Sound was a great uke and I loved how they changed his makeup for the role (did you notice?). TiwPor were as adorably ridiculous as ever. I liked the minor baby pairing for Aun, too. Still my NO SIGNING holds (although there was lots of dancing to counterbalance). In the end, all this really did was make me wanna rewatch the original. Which is not necessarily a bad thing. FYI The MV was a parody of HCTM, BB, 1k*. 8/10 

A Boss and a Babe (Fri YouTube) ep 12fin - It was a cute sappy ending for a cute-ish sappy-ish show. I cannot abide that the mom who condoned the rape of her daughter got forgiven. No. Stop it GMMTV. Review below. 

The Promise (Thai Weds YT & WeTV) ep 9 of 10 - I'm in trouble when I'm rooting for everybody BUT the main couple. I guess Nan doesn’t have a NO SINGING policy. Also I guess Nan was waiting for Phu all along? This show. ALSO could we not have just ended it here? 

Past-senger (Thai Weds Gaga) ep 11 of 12 eps - I don’t understand. What? Where did all these new characters come from? Do we care about the hets? Not even slightly. What is anyone doing? What’s going on? do I care abotu anyone anymore? No. Please make it stop. 

Ongoing Series - Not Thai

Our Dining Table AKA Bokura no Shokutaku (Japan Thurs Gaga) ep 7 of 10 - OMG so adorable, so repressed, so reserved, so soft, so awkward, so special. Heart melting. Also. Hungry. The WAY Minoru looks at Yutaka when he’s eating (now that he knows the history). The way we got to see the exact moment that Minoru realizes he is in love. Perfection. 

Star Struck (Korea iQIYI & Gaga) ep 1-2 of 8 - Zuho (Kpop SF9 - noted good egg) opposite rookie actor Kim In Sung (the one with the crush). icky is being weird about it but it looks like Gaga also picked it up? Depends on your territory I suppose. Anygay: Friends since childhood, jock/nerd, puppy/cat and I sense bi-himbo confusion and pining introvert gay. There’s family strife plus class issues and it has some interesting things to say already about the nature of friendship, romance, and jealousy. I like it, weirdly reminds me of something that might have come out of China. Not early CBL, but some of the later stuff that was censored but hearkened to Addicted. This has the feel of what China could have made now (were things politically different). Because of this feel, I’m not confident in this being an HEA or even a true BL but it is interesting enough for me to bump it way up the ranks. 

Happy Merry Ending (Korea Thurs Gaga) eps 7-8fin - I get why SJ pushed JH away, but I kinda agree that SJ is too much work. Abused or not, I wouldn’t put in the damn effort - so I guess I’m glad SJ took a year off to figure his shizz out? Far be it from me to agree with a year break in a Kdrama, tho. I didn’t even mind that they were separated most of these 2 eps: it was nice to see a Seme told no, who actually backed off and did as he was told. Plus the running of the gays (how Japan of you SK). I’m assuming that this was the final episode and that Viki thinking that there are 2 more is bonkers? Because this felt like a finale. For me this one had a stronger finish than any other aspect of the show (odd when the couple spent the bulk of it apart). Oh! And someone give Shin Myung Sung (the surfer bestie) his own damn BL, m’kay? Review below.

Love Mate (Korea Thurs Viki) eps 5-6 of 8 - Longest elevator ride in the world. Honorifics discussion! My favorite! And, “there is only one bed but they slept together on the floor anyway” trope. A BL staple. Also the tie/lanyard grab. Another fav. Still pushy puppy stalker remains creepy manipulative obsessive warped hotness. Basically KBL version of trash and… I’m into it. We all got our kinks, I guess. 

Vian the series (Vietnam YouTube ) - Such a cat. I’m reminded of Milk. It’s cute. They cute. I like it.

Naked Dinner AKA Zenra Meshi (Japan Fri Gaga) ep 6 of 12 - So is the nude dining meant to be some kind of weird allegory for repressed gayness? 

It’s Airing But ...

My Story (Pinoy Sat YouTube) 10 eps - I bounced at ep 4. Someone will tell me if I should bother with the rest. 

House of Stars (Thai Mon iQIYI) 12 eps - I bounced at ep 3. Will binge if told it is worth it at end. 

The Day I Loved You (Pinoy YouTube) eps 6-7 of 10 - Terminal illness for the sunshine. I bounced at ep 6. DNF. 

Ended this week

Love Syndrome finished its run on WeTV (I stopped at ep 2) - anyone wanna weight in with thoughts on the ending and whether I should binge or not? I do love Lee Long Shi.

Happy Merry Ending - Stars Lee Dong Won (KNK) as an ex-idol turned wedding singer with an abusive ex and a panic disorder + the sunshine pianist who falls in love with him. Timid tsundere & sweetheart gay is an interesting match. They’re gentle together, almost kindly and there is a calm ache to their pairing. However, it lost its way as a BL, being more about the main character’s struggle than the romance. It had a strong finish but ultimately the premise & characters meant this was never going to be one of my favorites. 8/10  

A Boss and a Babe - With an inconsistent narrative and self-sabotaging characters this was not the Thai BL office romance I was hoping for. I spent most if it feeling manipulated without good reason and sorry for ForceBook. They did their best with a shoddy script (AGAIN!) and none of its flaws were their fault. This show was all over the place and so am I about it. It’s better than Enchanté but that’s not really saying much. 7/10 I guess

In Case You Missed It 

BL Express reported that Taiwanese production companies have announced 7 new BLs (4 of these from Vidol.) Stories range from office romance to crime drama. 

Someone did a survey on KBL watchers. 

Build Jakapan has been cleared of all charges. 

Next Week Looks Like This:

Starting this week: 

5/26 Be My Favorite prev title: You Are My Favorite (Thai YouTube) Adapted JittiRain y-novel (2gether, FUTS, ToL, Vice Versa) one of those “rewrite the past to change the future.” Stars Krist (SOTUS) + Fluke Gawin (DBK, Not Me). Expect this to be v low heat, full of LIES and manipulation.

5/27 The Luminous Solution (Thai ????) 10 eps - Thana is having trouble at work and in his relationship. He can't seem to catch a break. So he makes a wish to change everything. The wish has a price.

5/27 Takumi-kun Series 6: Nagai Nagai Monogatari no Hajimari no Asa (Japan) - NO ONE ASKED FOR THIS (but that has never stopped Japan before) and no, I have no idea where to get it, why would I ?????  (Say it with me everyone: Oh Japan, must you?*)

2023 forthcoming BL master post (see comments, some are inaccurate, NOT KEPT UPDATED)

This Week’s Meta Moments 

naturellement (Step By Step naming its trope.)

The Promise calling out the uke archetype, Mary Sue much? 

ALL THE DANCING. Live the dream! Live the trend! Live the trope! 

4 tropes in one! Drinking, piggyback, feed him, product placement. Very nice GMMTV & GeminiFourth. I’m impressed.  

nash

(all My School President’s Our Skyy - kinda a masterclass in using ALL THE TROPES and ALL THE BL references.) 

THIS WEEK’S BEST MOMENTS

The unmitigated irony of so-called fans of ZeeNunew coming after this show for this moment (not to mention the self sabotage). Truly mind boggling. (Step by Step)

The two boys who didn’t win the boy but totally should have. This show makes me wanna drink too. Next week... soju! (The Promise)

Yes please and thank you GMMTV. (My School President) 

I do love the kinkification of Phi. (Boss & Babe) 

These tiny idiots it turns out are, in fact, totally hilarious. La Pulie (side dish friendship group)

(last week)

Current Kpop earworm? Key & Taeyeon’s Hate that... (which if it wasn’t an OST SHOULD have been)

SF9 Youngbin Birth Chart Analysis

Based on my opinions and observations. Not an expert. May change later.

November 23rd, 1993

Anyang, South Korea

Unknown time

☀️♐️🌙♓️

Sagittarius sun - optimistic and curious person, which he is. It should positively aspect his Sagittarius mars, giving him a lot of fiery energy. He seems to enjoy new experiences, always eager to take part in fun things.

Moon in Pisces - sensitive and creative, often internalized. He seems to be able to express his more sensitive side through his solo songs, which have a sentimental vibe and lyrics.

Both Sagittarius and Pisces are ruled by Jupiter, so I think that should add more optimism and open mindedness to Youngbin. A sense of wisdom as well, which has been mentioned by Dawon before.

Youngbin is known for being quite passionate, which I believe comes from his fire placements (Sag sun and Mars) + Scorpio stellium (Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and Pluto). This combination makes him very direct and a go getter - Youngbin does not beat around the bush, he's very forward about what he says. What he wants, he goes for. I think this would also make a private combination - the members have mentioned a few times before that Youngbin doesn't really share his feelings with them. Scorpios are naturally guarded, Pisces moons are internalized, and Sagittarius would just rather not deal with their negative emotions in general. There's probably some repression going on or avoidance of heavy feelings and thoughts.

The most Scorpio Venus and Mercury thing I recall about him is the time they were playing a game. The game consisted a series of oddly specific questions about each member that Youngbin got a majority of correct. "Hey guys, who am I? I am the leader." (Such a power move tbh) He's very observant and attentive to each member, no detail slips past him, e.g noticing something a bit off about Jaeyoon's ear, telling Juho to eat more bc he noticed how thin he was getting, telling Yoo Tae to button up several times during a live until Yoo Tae finally complied (both of which were during a phone call bc he was away in the military...like even when enlisted he still noticed all of those things)

In an older interview, he was asked about what he would do if he liked someone and he said he would go straight for them. Which is honestly such a Scorpio Venus answer, whatever they have their sights on, they will pursue

Possible rising: Taurus. He seems to fit the physical image of a Taurus rising well - calmer face and eyes ("sleepy" eyes as he's called them before), his broad shoulders, slender hands and fingers, and especially loves to wear watches (which seems to be a common accessory for many Taurus risings). He's got a calm demeanour over all, not one to overreact but not entirely passive thanks to his more passionate placements. Even when he is surprised/spooked, it's not overly "loud". And speaking of volume and tone, he does have a nice speaking voice. It's calm in a way; I know he's been complimented on his voice a few times before and has been asked if he ever wanted to try doing radio. Taurus rules the throat, so many ppl with Taurus placements tend to have nice voices.

Being a Taurus rising could give him a 7th house stellium bc of his Scorpio stellium (Scorpio DC). 7th house is all about relationships, which seems to be a high priority for Youngbin. He loves to be around his members, always talking about them and mentioning them often in lives, talking about just wanting to have a nice dinner with them often, showering them with affection, very attentive to them. He even has the group's debut date tattooed on him (the clock tattoo on his upper left chest/shoulder area), which I think is a good example of Pluto and Venus in 7th (if asc is in 1st-2nd decan). Possible Moon in 11th could also add onto the focus of relationships. Jupiter in 6th could have a harmonious work environment or at least good relations with coworkers (which he definitely has a good bond with his group).

Possible Capricorn MC and Scorpio placements could explain his natural leadership skills.

Neptune and Uranus in 9th is a high possibility...Neptune in 9th especially seems to be connected to faith and belief. I'm not too sure how devoted Youngbin is, but I am aware he is Catholic.

Rich Boy SF9 Bullet Point AU (Hwiyoung x Reader)

~Rachel~

Masterlist

Yeah I did it again. And Jaeyoon is technically in the works. Also it's wild to me that Hwi and I are both 99 liners that's weird

Content: strangers to lovers, fluff, kissing, pretending not to know him, not exactly office romance, cooking, some rich ajussis are mean to you

Word Count: 4k

The first time you met him

At a meeting between your businesses for some legal negotiations

He was cold and chic and only said what he needed to say

The second time you met him

At the press conference announcing the collaboration of your companies

He was still cold and chic, but he had a little more charisma

But the third time you met him

At a public weekend cooking class your friend had promised to take with you

(She bailed)

He was unrecognizably warm and charismatic

You were unsure that he would recognize you because of the large difference in positions at your respective companies

He being the heir to his

And you being the lead public relations specialist in yours

So you chose a table sort of behind and across from him so you could both observe him and watch the teachers at the same time

Now you know that boy was raised rich

And if you weren’t 100% sure that you recognized him and the luxury brand watch on his wrist

You would have thought that he had a doppelgänger

What was a guy like him doing in a public class like this?

Didn’t he have the money to pay for someone to do this kind of stuff for him?

But he watched the teachers so intently and he looked like he knew his way around this stuff a lot better than you did

This was the first time you had seen him genuinely engaged and looking like he wanted to be there

Like sure at work he had nice eyebrows and he was admittedly pretty handsome or whatever

But wow when he was in his element he was positively radiant

Even if you hadn’t known who he was beforehand you probably still would have been staring at him

Somehow you managed to make it through the class without burning the food or yourself

But then you got paired with him for taste testing and you wished you were the fire on your gas stove

That is to say

Gone. Put out

If he recognized you then what

Pretend to be someone else?

You weren’t sure why you didn’t want to talk to him

Much less have him try your food

Probably something along the lines of he was so much higher than you on the business chain and how on earth were you supposed to just interact like you were equals

Too late he introduced himself

“Hi I’m Hwiyoung”

Oh good

“Hi I’m (Y/N)”

Lots to unpack there

He didn’t recognize you but he introduced himself casually and so you felt like you should too but oh man you knew who he was and that was totally out of line

But he did not care so you were just going to pretend like you didn’t care too

“Can I try yours first?” he asked

“Oh yep sure go ahead”

You were still speaking casually since he was and boy did it feel wrong but you couldn’t stop it from coming out of your mouth

It was also weird watching his face while he took a bite like no this dude is so much higher up on the social scale than you could ever hope to be but oh boy you really hope he likes it

It’s like anime sparkles were in his eyes

“Oh yours is different than mine! I like how you did it”

Insert joke about getting a good grade, which is both normal to want and possible to achieve

“I have strong opinions about garlic,” you said

“I can tell,” he responded, taking another bite

He let out the tiniest “oh wow”

This was both extremely gratifying and embarrassing at the same time

At the beginning of the class you were very excited to tell your coworkers what you had seen but now you thought you might die if anyone else found out

“Ah sorry!” he interrupted your thoughts, setting the plate down “I forgot you need to try mine too”

Honestly you were a little scared by his reaction to yours

If he thought your cooking was that good then his must be…subpar to say the least

But no even though you felt immense pressure to react positively as he watched you expectantly

You didn’t have to fake your reaction at all

His version of the dish fit your taste perfectly

He read your reaction wrong though

You had frozen stiff in surprise and he thought it meant that it was bad

But no no no you had to reassure him that you just had a bad case of rbf and actually it was really good

The next time you saw him at a meeting he did not recognize you

You figured he must meet a lot of people and rely heavily on context in order to recognize them

Plus you didn’t know if the cooking class was a secret or not so you didn’t want to out him accidentally in a professional environment

Not to mention he was back to his cold and quiet demeanor so that was intimidating

So you let the meeting pass without trying to say anything potentially out of line

And when you met again in your cooking class on the weekend he waved you over to share a station with him

You tried to make small talk with him about who he was and what he did just to make sure he really was the person you knew that he was

But he kind of steered away from any specific answers and that in and of itself was sort of confirmation

“What do you do for work?”

“Oh I work at X Group”

“That’s pretty prestigious what do you do there?”

“Just some administrative stuff you know”

You did know

And then he asked you the same questions

“So how about you what do you do?”

And you realized that if you answered then you would end up giving him a lead on who you were and that actually you had met in other circumstances

But like what are you going to do lie???

“I work at K Company”

“Oh right we’re doing some stuff with them these days. Are you involved with that?”

“Um yeah just some pr stuff though I’m not actually on the collab team”

He nodded you know the way you do when you’re like okay nice that’s your life

And then he froze in the middle of stirring the pan

Face just melted in realization

“We already know each other don’t we”

Oh no

You didn’t want to make him feel bad because you didn’t have any hard feelings that he didn’t recognize you

But also you didn’t want to make him feel awkward or threatened because that was how you already felt and you had no intention of holding anything over him

And you didn’t want him to go into business mode either because that was boring

But more importantly this was clearly supposed to be a comfortable space for him and you didn’t want to be an intruder

“I should have said something earlier,” you apologized

What next

What were you supposed to say next huh???

“But you were cute, so…”

NOT THAT

YOU WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO SAY THAT

His ears flushed red and his eyes went wide

Attention went right back to the pan

And yours went back to cutting up the garnishes

“You’re um…”

He cleared his throat

“You’re cute, too”

OH???

This was only week two of cooking class

If anything was supposed to happen here it should have been down the line

No no no none of that nothing was “supposed to happen here”

He was like your boss-in-law that wasn’t allowed

But it wasn’t like you had approached him on purpose knowing who he was

It was kind of him that made the first move right?

Also it wasn’t like you technically met at work or anything so I mean

Maybe if he meant it then you could accept the compliment at least

Looking up as you shredded a carrot, you noticed his ears glowing like traffic lights

He was laser focused on making sure the pan was cooking evenly

“Oh um…thanks”

“Plus I like the way you balance spices” he added

“Oh um…” you repeated, apparently out of things to say “thanks?”

He cleared his throat and let the awkward silence build

For the rest of the class

In fact even as you said goodbye he just gave you a shy wave in return

And you knew you had broken this for him

You debated not going the next week

Or ever again

But also you had the same right to be there as he did and like just because he was some rich ceo heir dude didn’t mean he had more of a claim to that space

If he really wanted he could just hire a personal tutor probably

But still though you felt bad

You saw him at another meeting between your two companies

Yeah he recognized you this time you could tell

You tried very hard to focus on the notes you were taking for the press release stuff

But that was hard when he was making it obvious that he was trying not to look at you

You were starting to think that maybe he wasn’t like actually cool and chic

Maybe he was just raised as a sort of loner type and he was bad at talking to people

And maybe you had sort of tricked him into opening up to you in the cooking class

Whatever he was a rich boy heir to a company why did he need your sympathy??

Also he started it so you didn’t trick him into anything

But did he know that

Perhaps not

When the end of the meeting came he decided to say goodbye to everyone who came personally

(Side note we have a word for say hello (greet) but not say goodbye and this makes me angry every time I remember it)

But yep said goodbye to everyone

Shook their hands and thanked them for coming with a professional smile

But when it came to you it was hard for him to keep up his act

So he shook your hand and made shy eye contact for just a second before he looked back down at your hands

“I’ll see you next time, Miss (L/N)”

You were the last one out and it didn’t seem that anyone from your group was waiting for you

So you felt you had time to reply

“At the next meeting? Or…”

“I was hoping on Saturday,” he responded

“Unless you would rather not”

Oh

So he was okay

Then you were allowed to be okay with it, too, right?

You didn’t have a problem with it unless he did

So you smiled too

“I would like to see you on Saturday, too, actually”

It was like looking through a tinted window, but you could see a bit of the version of him you saw in the kitchen classroom for a second

And you know what.

Yeah okay it was cute

When you told him he was cute the first time you just meant like. It was sweet like aww good for you buddy

But now when your brain told you cute it meant oh dear he’s attractive

That was not ideal

He’s just a dude he’s just a dude

But he’s a rich and handsome dude

Not that the rich and handsome should matter necessarily

Doesn’t hurt

But the cutest things about him were 

1) he was so excited about cooking like passions are super cute

And 2) it kinda looked like he might be interested too? Lol?

Mutual attraction law something something if he’s attracted to you first then like that’s the main thing that attracts you to him?

I believe in the power of that to some extent

Anyway that’s definitely what was going on here

May or may not have kept you up at night a bit

So when Saturday came and he wanted to share a station with you again

Keeping your composure and looking like a sane person that was totally okay with just being friends required 99% of your energy

Unfortunately the topic of the class was not something you could breeze through with the remaining 1%

So you were left either to be an incompetent mess of a student

Or an incompetent mess of a human being

Luckily that was not a conscious choice for you to make

Luckily being used in loosest of ways

And you ended up being both an incompetent mess of a student and a human being anyway so there went everything

Your supposed cooking prowess

Your potential as a friend found in an unlikely place

You were a shame to your ancestors, who had all clearly found love and reproduced if you were alive

How many hundreds of people had lived before you in order for you to be alive

And you couldn’t manage to do the same thing

Sike

He was a terrible mess as well

Both for the cooking and the human-ing aspects of the day

Partnered up at the same cooking station once again

Not even both of your combined efforts could make a successful dish

And the conversation the whole time?

Awkward and stilted enough to have been between two poorly built chatbots

Every time your eyes met it seemed like an accident

By the minute you thought he was handsomer and handsomer

And he kept turning redder than the cherry tomatoes you were supposed to be roasting

But by some miracle

He managed to work up enough conversation skills to ask you to dinner with him

“We didn’t manage to make anything edible today, so should we see how professionals do it?”

And like how can you say no

Turns out he had made a reservation for some super fancy place you’ve never heard of

And your brain is like okay let’s break that down

Fancy place very expensive way out of your budget

But he made the reservation so he planned on paying right?

He made a reservation wow

This was pre planned he wanted to take you to dinner anyway

Regardless of if what you made in the cooking class was edible

That was just an excuse

He wanted to spend more time with you and he had planned on it

Now you were a little scared of rich people shenanigans

So you were still wary of picking up this extremely obvious hint

Like normal boy? Yeah of course he’s into you

Rich boy? He might want something and this is a manipulation tactic

But in class he was a normal boy

He was so down to earth and awkward and cute

So you really wanted to take this at face value

Honestly at this point with any other boy you might have asked him out yourself already

But with rich people there’s a pride factor and you were kind of scared about it

Strangely though pride was not an issue here today

At least in terms of clothing

Neither of you were up to dress code at all for the restaurant because you were coming straight from the cooking class pretty much

But the staff recognized him apparently and they were cool with it?

When you looked at the menu and the prices you wanted to disappear immediately

The cheapest thing on the menu was daunting

But he pulled your menu down from your hands and put it on the table

He flipped a few pages and pointed to a dish

“I wanted to take you here because I thought you would like this one”

Okay yep you got that one loud and clear

This was a date and he wanted to spend time with you on purpose

He had been at a place like this and he had thought of you

Well then.

Guess it was time to let him know you thought of him the same way

You ended up ordering what he suggested for you and he was absolutely right

He also let you try a bite of what he ordered

And that was really good too

“But,” he said, “I don’t think it’s as good as how you might do it”

Challenge accepted

“If we buy the ingredients tonight then maybe we can try to make it tomorrow?”

His eyes lit up and his mouth stretched wide in a smile at your suggestion

And it was a plan

But then you were interrupted by some very well dressed older men

And unfortunately they recognized Hwiyoung

He didn’t seem terribly thrilled by this

But they made him talk to them anyway

They didn’t seem rude but they weren’t being terribly polite either

It felt weird to just sit there but you had no idea how to insert yourself into a rich people interaction

Plus by the way he glanced at you it seemed like he didn’t want to get you involved

But this guy is anti-smooth unfortunately so looking over at you inadvertently drew attention to you as well

And they started asking questions rather disdainfully

As he answered them honestly and with the most positive light he could, you were amazed at the lack of shame these men had in talking about you as if you weren’t there

Or as if you had no right or ability to contest the opinions they were forming about you

It seemed that Hwiyoung was more hurt by this than you were, somehow

When they finally left, he sat down with his business personality

“I think I’ve lost my appetite,” he admitted disappointedly

“I’m so sorry I couldn’t defend you properly, but if I tried, they would use more than their words to tear you down”

You shrugged

“They seem pretty wrapped up in their own importance”

His mouth twisted into a sad snicker

“It’s not a fun world to navigate”

You made a few more jokes at the expense of the rude rich dudes

And it kind of worked to bring him back to you

By this first experience with the upper class, you weren’t particularly fazed

But you wondered, if you stayed by his side, what the tenth encounter might do

The hundredth

The thousandth

You were so jumping the gun but they were valid thoughts to have it you were thinking about dating a guy that lived in this realm of wealth and self-importance

But as you wandered the supermarket aisles with him, picking out ingredients

You also wondered if he couldn’t do anything now because you were still testing the waters

He didn’t seem the type to let comments like that fly under the radar

So you wanted to give him another chance

He walked you back all the way to the front entrance of your apartment building

He could have driven

But, he bashfully admitted, he wanted to spend more time with you

It was hard not to invite him up, but it felt a bit improper

If you were the one storing the groceries, it would have only been natural

But since you would be cooking at his place the next day

And since he had more storage space anyway

He was taking everything with him

You felt sort of bad watching him walk away with like four bags of groceries

But it was also uh

Kind of hot

Plus like he volunteered himself for it he would be fine

The next day he greeted you at the front gate of his (ridiculous) house

With only the boyfriendiest of boyfriend vibes

It already felt like you were official honestly

It was such a weird and fast jump but it felt like you had always been together rather than this being like. Your second date

You spotted some hired workers trying to stay hidden as they spied on you

That was a little weird

But fumbling around and learning to cook this dish was far more captivating

And the boy? Far far far more captivating

It really didn’t feel right that you had only met a few weeks ago

That fact itself was more surprising than the moment you suddenly found yourself inches from him with his hand around your back and his other hand intertwined with yours

And you swayed back and forth to the music that was somehow exactly perfect for the moment

Yeah that just felt natural honestly

Last night you felt improper about letting him up to your apartment

Ha

Now here you were slow dancing in his kitchen

In matching aprons

Yeah you were done for

Head over heels he was your man now

Your free hand magically made its way up to his face and cupped his cheek

He was leaning in and your eyes fluttered closed and then

A timer going off startled you both into remembering what got you here in the first place

So you finished your dish and then sat down to taste test

And he was absolutely right

It was better when you made it together

The smile on his face told you everything you needed to know

The sparkle in his eyes when your eyes met was confirmation

It was so strange the next time your companies had a meeting

Employees on both sides were so confused

Since when did President Kim…….smile

Or speak in a voice that wasn’t monotone

Something changed……weird

By some miracle no one noticed the expressions you two exchanged

Neither of you were being subtle

But I guess if people don’t want to see it then they won’t

And your funny little secret totally flew under the radar

Also the next time you were caught by mean old chaebol men at a restaurant

He kinda let them have it when they tried to make disparaging remarks about you

He was so well-spoken too like you could tell he rehearsed it twelve hundred times in his mirror

They just kinda left with slightly humbled expressions

And he sat down with this disgruntled little huff and apologized to you again

His parents are like “well hmmm you’re not exactly who we hoped he would end up with…..”

You could see it in his eyes Hwiyoung was ready to go off on them

But then they were like “but. this is weird. we raised the boy and nothing but cooking ever makes him smile this much. welcome to the family”

Now he’s self conscious about how much he gets excited apparently because HE didn’t think he was that stonefaced

(You totally were babe. I almost didn’t recognize you the first time we met)

(It’s work!!!! Why do I have to be excited about business!!!!!!)

But he’s YOUR stonefaced ceo chef boyfriend so

He supposes it doesn’t matter that much as long as you like him that way

Anyway once again I shall leave you with your first kiss

It happened the same day as when you went over to his house to make that dish

After you had eaten you could tell he was a little nervous about something and you couldn’t figure out what it was

Were you accidentally being mean to him and you thought you were being flirty

You didn’t think so but now you were nervous about it

No turns out he was just thinking about how you totally would have kissed if that stupid timer had gone off even like five seconds later

And he was trying to find an entry point back into that mood because he was kind of scared to just like. kiss you

Anyway he ended up mumbling that when you asked him if he was okay and you barely caught any of it

But you managed to catch the message

So you asked him if he had a good view of the sky from anywhere in his house

Yes he did have a nice balcony with a perfect view of the sunset

So you let him take advantage of the slightly chilly spring evening and the golden hour

And he kissed you properly

Hi friend! I hope you are having a wonderful day. I saw your post about slowing down/stopping sf9 updates again so I wanted to reach out.

First off, let me say thank you so much for your service thus far 🫡 I feel as if international Fantasy is a very small fanbase and it’s hard to find content/translations schedules etc for them so it has been wonderful to have it all in one place.

That being said, I have also always wondered how you’re able to stay so on top of it! It really feels like a full time job.

I have been wanting to be more active as an international fantasy and help where I can in providing content updates for the boys and more content in general (edits, compilations, things of that nature) and I was wondering if you had any tips on what sources you generally follow to update, suggestions on a schedule etc if someone were to start to keep up the updates. I wouldn’t be able to translate or anything like that so I’d have to keep that in mind.

I know that’s a big ask, so I appreciate you even taking the time just to read through that all if you have 🤣 Please don’t feel pressured to respond with an answer. If nothing else I do hope you know there are Fantasy out here who have really appreciated your efforts in the time being ☺️

Hi! Thank you so much 🩵 this was a very sweet message! I hope you are doing well too 🩵

I definitely started posting because it really felt like I couldn’t find a ton of sf9 content on here so I thought I’d just do it lol I got burnt out tho lol. It was like a full time job tbh updating was the first and last thing I did every day too lol it was tiring tho (especially bc I do have an actual full time job too lol)

I can definitely help out with some recommendations for where to get updates! I can’t add links in an ask so I’ll just type out the @ of the person and what site they’re on!

So any of the official accounts!

- Group twitter: Sf9official, Sf9_fanclub, sf9_official_jp

- Member’s twitters: Hwiyoung (0_rbsl), Zuho (zuho_jp), and Dawon (xleexekdnjs),

- Each member has their own ig, there’s also their official ig and japanese ig.

- Zuho’s new company (haewadal_entertainment) often posts pics of him on their instagram story

Fan run accounts:

twitter:

- sf9_unofficial (only official updates/news and schedules highly recommended!)

- sf9armydays (only about member in military)

- colorsdw (random sf9 updates)

- rokartrider_ (random sf9 updates)

- notsf9cloud (selective fromm updates)

- zuho_tasty_ (random zuho updates)

- 704chat (zuho fromm)

- 724chat (dawon fromm)

instagram

- sf9_updateaccount

- sf9.fantasy_

other:

- rokartrider_ also posts any kind of their videos on youtube their url is @ jamie1927! If you search that with the @ (no space in between the @ and the url) in the search bar it will bring up their account on youtube

I also was using some fansites for fantaken photos I usually just came across them on twitter and I always added a link to their post for credit. For translations I always added the credit if any of the above accounts added translation. I also used the translation site papago for translating the Korean. It’s the most accurate in my opinion lol. Also a lot of sites like Twitter and instagram captions can be translated on the site so you can use those too just know they aren’t super accurate all the time. I usually checked it on Papago too lol. Sometimes I just put the korean and moved on lol.

Let me know if you have more questions I tried to be as thorough as possible! So it took a bit to respond lol but thank you again for your message 🫶 good luck! And just a tip from someone who got burnt out don’t feel too pressured to always update just do what you can and what you want but don’t overwork yourself 🩵

i present: yuichi's playlist! [spotify] [youtube]

(as of 3/14/2024)

as with most of the playlists i make, some songs are readily applicable, some just have the right Vibe, some are sorta funny... and in yuichi's case, there's a lot of a rain theme going on lol

(also, some are ones from my own tourabu mood playlist that i just had to bring over)

because i've always wanted to do this i'm gonna go through all the songs and maybe explain why i put it there or something?? yolo! playlist guide under the cut lol

i recommend having this going while you listen!

most songs (on the youtube version) have lyrics/translations where available!

there's a lot of kpop don't judge me lol

Dreamcatcher - Full Moon this is a song from dc to their fans on their first anniversary lol, so the themes of a somewhat-new bond are pretty relevant!

Seventeen- Campfire do i even need to explain? sobs this song makes my heart warm ... just thinking about yuichi & all the toudans sitting around a campfire having *sniffles* precious moments... ; A;

Rihanna - Umbrella LMAO this one is very on-the-nose but also just thinking about it's hilarious, i couldn't resist. (plus like... it's a jam. also lyrically it actually does fit!)

Dreamcatcher - Boca be prepared to see a lot of dreamcatcher w/me, they're my Favorite(TM). anyway Boca is about protecting someone from harsh words (better translation is "if those thornlike words / start to hurt you / i won't let them open that boca (mouth)") AND has a very rainy/stormy atmosphere which makes it perfect. yes i know my toudans are Sword Warriors yes i still want to protect them as best i can!! (it's more about like. bullying and hate but yknow. similar sentiments...shhh...)

The Weather Girls - It's Raining Men ...............i don't think i need to explain myself on this >.> (THO HAHA IMAGINE IF THIS WAS HOW SWORDS MANIFESTED IN HIS HONMARU i'm dead)

ToppDogg -Annie (Anniversary) another 'anniversary' type song, i think it speaks for itself. saniwa💙toudans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Clean Bandit - Rather Be lyrically, yes!! being a saniwa is not an easy or peaceful job by any means but yuichi wouldn't want to be anywhere else <3 also the song makes me think of rainy/cool moist days!

Seventeen - Home seventeen shows up a decent amount too, but what can i say? the songs fit lol. saniwa-toudan relationships might not always be 100% sunshine and rainbows, but... they are home, no?

Twice - Feel Special GOD. this song came out while i was very into tkrb a few years ago and so that plus the song itself made me actually cry when i first watched it lol. it's so fitting though, i think from toudan or yuichi's perspective. for yuichi, he clearly struggles with his self-worth, and is...well, he's no stranger to a breakdown. but ... he's got so many touken danshi around him who love him

Girls' Generation - Talk Talk no explanation needed methinks! <3 just comparing a love to the rain

SF9 - The Beat Goes On okay this song is just like... pure beach episode, everyone gathering in the sunset and having a great time being free with each other. i include it on so many playlists where i just want to imagine a joyful time with the whole cast of whatever, it just has to go here too, even if you'd be hard-pressed to get yuichi on a beach lol

Yuju - Play this is just strictly for the vibes. i don't know that yuichi has someone who dipped and hurt him like that (but it could be interesting i guess lol). the song just is perfect for the rainy atmosphere

Dreamcatcher - Piri i told u prepare for dreamcatcher lol. anyway this song is literally about like... depression and getting to a point where you need a lifeline. very yuichi, unfortunately

New Politics - One of Us another "do i even need to explain?" song ;u; it's definitely on my tkrb playlist lol. also the lyric video is kinda fun lol imagining it as different toudans at the table

Gfriend - Summer Rain just very nice rainy vibes.

Super Junior - Why I Like You this song (the whole album really) has always given me rainy/humid vibes. but also... love <3 (ofc not necessarily romantic in yuichi's case! but yknow what i mean)

Flo Rida - My House almost a joke addition but like... also almost not a joke LOL

David Cook - Come Back to Me okay this song is tkrb playlist because it's like... 100% kiwame send-off vibes. i initially added it after watching hanamaru, thinking about kashuu sending off yasusada, but i think it also suits most sendoffs very well. i wanna cry. sobs....

SF9 - RPM So I don't have a good reason for adding this to yuichi's or my tkrb playlist other than it makes me think of using time travel to go on a mission. also i just REALLY like the song... and listening to it with the rain going is mmmwah *chef kiss*. just imagine a team going up to the [time travel device] all ready to fucking GO, looking all badass in the mist and shit. and then PPEPWWW they go! and now they're ready to fuck shit up (to un-fuck the timeline)... it's the VIBES AGAIN

Darren Hayes - Bloodstained Heart no words needed <3

Dreamcatcher - Over the Sky another anniversary fan song from dc! this song just makes me so happy and like. energized. spring time. anime conventions. so it's on my tkrb playlist, but it's also a sweet and fun song so, yknow, puts it on.

Ravi - Lean on Me is this yuichi talking to a toudan? or a toudan talking to yuichi? or ? who knows, but either way, i like it. sweet and reliable.

Seventeen - Thanks just... a song about being so grateful to know and love someone.

Major Lazer - Cold Water (the one song with justin bieber i listen to unironically lol)

Seventeen - Holiday oh man just LISTEN to it, even without the lyrics it's just like. fun!! party!! chill!!

SF9 - Bibora a jam. a rainy jam. but also maybe some parts of it speak to yuichi.

Jinsoul (Loona) - Singing in the Rain KNK - Rain Super Junior - Raining Spell for Love Strictly for the vibes.

JBJ - True Colors oh man. this song makes me cry too. my heart...

Starley - Call on Me Another song that I think explains itself lol

Dreamcatcher - Reason yet another anniversary song from deukae but it fits. through all the triumphs and hardships, despair and joy, the toudans in this citadel have become his whole reason for being and they inspire him to keep going and do better and be someone they can depend on and be proud to call their saniwa.

BIAS TAG GAME

Tagged by: @the-strange-world (like a week ago, so sorry 😅)

like i always say, I love! doing these so here we go

Rules: you're going to pick 10 of your biases (or as many biases as you have and then fill in the rest of the spots with idols you like) and number them 1-10, then answer the questions below. Try not to look at the questions before you make your list!

1. Rowoon (SF9)

2. Han (Stray Kids)

3. Seunghun (CIX)

4. Jacob (The Boyz)

5. Changmin (TVXQ!)

6. Changbin (Stray Kids)

7. Jaeyoon (SF9)

8. Kai (Exo)

9. Sunwoo (The Boyz)

10. Taeyong (NCT)

(this was actually really hard 😭 I wasn’t able to include everyone so I just picked randomly- except for the first two 💀)

Questions! (and answers)

Between 7 and 5, who did you bias first?

7! Jaeyoon! He was my second ever bias (following Rowoon)

Between 2 and 6, who are you more attached to?

Han Jisung 😍 (Not me accidentally pitting the two Stray Kids members against each other omg) I’m extremely attached to both of them!! I cant choose, I’m sorry, eight is fate don’t you know that 😭

If you were to spend one day with either 3 or 1, who would you choose and what would you do?

ROWOON- I’m so sorry Seunghun but I don’t even have to think twice. I will spend that day making him realize that he’s in love with me. I think it’d be really nice to just walk around honestly. You know, talk, get coffee (it’s totally not a date don’t even think that 🙄)

What is your favorite physical feature about 9?

Can I say everything? Man is freaking beautiful. If I have to choose one though… I’m sorry I really tried to choose one but I kept thinking of a million different things. So ‘everything’ is my final answer.

What is your favorite part of 6’s personality?

Oh my god. Another ‘everything’ answer. he’s just *dreamy sigh* 🥰 I’m so annoying, I know. But like come on. Okay for this one I really will say if I have to pick just one… it would be the outgoing part of his personality. His mbti is literally entertainer and he really is. Literally no matter what I watch of him I always end up with a smile on my face, and one of my favorite stray kids moments is “now i’m so sensitive because i’m so hungry!” He’s just loud and obnoxious in the best way and… yeah ☺️

If you were to tell 8 anything you wanted, what would you tell them?

mhhhh 🤔 I think I would tell Kai that he’s an amazing dancer and that he sets the precedent for so many to follow. i’d tell him that his passion shows and so does his kindness and that i’m really grateful that he can and does share his talent with us…. and i’d tell him that teleportation is the best superpower 😌😌

Between 1 and 2 who’s closet would you raid?

well, either way, my boyfriends are supposed to share their hoodies with their partner, right 💀💀 Let me say, I absolutely LOVE both of their styles. It fits them each so perfectly. I feel like ro is sharp lines, long and slender and elegant to fit his frame and ji is oversized hoodies and baggy pants and soft and excess comfort. So in terms of me adopting said style, I’d go for hannie. He’s definitely more in my comfort zone.

What is a style you want to see 3 try?

I don’t know if this is like style of music or fashion style or something else but i’ll go with fashion? Even though I know nothing about fashion 💀 I do know I liked his save me, kill me performance mv (<- go watch 😤) fit. with the asymmetrical black and white shirt. so anything that is similar to that is a-okay 😌👌 I also feel like he would do great in adopting a similar style to Rowoon. I mean, he’s got a similar slender frame even though he’s not as tall as ro. but idk I think it’d look good 🤷‍♀️

Between 5 and 4, who are you closer to in height?

Jacob! I’m 5’7, he’s 5’9 (Changmin is 6’1)

Between 10 and 9, who’s music do you like the best?

I think i’d have to say taeyong! I really really really like his solo stuff.

Wow 😅 that was a lot of work! But super fun to think about everyone like this!!

I’m gonna tag but I know it’s a lot so no pressure!! @silentcry-skz @letsmpuppy @chogiwa6192

Bias Tag Game

Tagged by: @baekhyunnybyun (thank youuuuuuu 💕)

Rules: you're going to pick 10 of your biases (or as many biases as you have and then fill in the rest of the spots with idols you like) and number them 1-10, then answer the questions below. try not to look at the questions before you make your list!

Tagging: @dive-in-the-blue @shalalayong I'm curious to see yours but feel free to pass as always, friends! Also, @baekhyunnybyun going to tag you again if you wanted to do a GG edition :)

Bias List

Minhyuk (Monsta X)

Minho (Shinee)

Jaeyoon (SF9)

Jinhwan (iKON)

Changbin (Stray Kids)

Yeosang (Ateez)

Dokyeom (Seventeen)

Onew (Shinee)

Zuho (SF9)

Taeyong (NCT)

Questions & Answers below the cut

1. Between 7 and 5, who did you bias first?

Changbin! But only because skz was the first group I ever got into so he had the benefit of time even if he wasn't my first skz bias. Seokmin, on the other hand, claimed that title for svt and never let go.

2. Between 2 and 6, who are you more attached to?

Minho. I... Yes... Minho.

3. If you were to spend the day with either 3 or 1, who would you choose and what would you do?

THIS IS TOUGH. I've been mulling this over for hours and I can't think of a proper answer. I feel like I would enjoy just being in Jaeyoon's presence for a day but I feel like I would enjoy doing things with Minhyuk, y'know?

4. What is your favorite physical feature about 9?

I want to say Zuho's smile but that's true for most idols so I'm going to say his tattoos! I am a thigh tattoo enjoyer and they are so sweet (and actually look good) 😭 man really loves his group and also probably forgot too many birthdays in his time.

5. What is your favorite part of 6's personality?

I love how sincere Yeosang seems to be. I can't even properly express it but there is this soft-heartedness about him that reminds me a lot of my sissy and while we never know what idols are truly like, he gives off an inner light that feels very genuine and gross emotions but I'm very soft for him okay???

6. If you were to tell 8 anything you wanted, what would you tell them?

More emotions? Ughhhhh I would tell Lee Jinki that he brings so much warmth and joy to other people's lives and I hope he treats himself with the same love and care. I would tell him that I can't imagine being a leader, let alone for a group with the longevity and popularity of Shinee but he's done so well. I would tell him that Circle is a fucking great album.

7. Between 1 and 2, whose closet would you raid?

Neither really? I'll go with Minhyuk just because I'm sure he has some good sweaters or t-shirts or whatever. I just imagine Minho with a lot of golf shirts.

8. What is a style that you want to see 3 try?

I do not have an eye for styling so I don't know how to answer this question. Do whatever makes you happy Jaeyoon 😘

9. Between 5 and 4, who are you closer to in height?

Short kings what's uuuuuuup. According to the interwebs, Jinhwan is slightly shorter and that makes him closer to my height.

10. Between 10 and 9, whose music do you like the best?

Okay this is v interesting. Taeyong has a lot more solo music compared to what I've heard from Zuho and, in general, I enjoy it and the different sounds he plays with! In saying that, Zuho plays a bigger role in SF9's music between writing and producing and I love it. So I really appreciate one's solo stuff vs one's work for his group.

Heyo Hiyo again!

Congratulations on getting your book published!! I can only imagine how ecstatic you might have felt when your got news on your book finally getting published. And a children's book too? It just sounds so cute overall. The world deserves to have your works in their lives~

I remember you mentioned liking winter too. It's starting to get a little cooler outside (hopefully for you as well) and spooky season is creeping closer (hehe see what I did there). Something about that crisp air and the scent of winter just brings immediate joy. But nevertheless, I hope this upcoming autumn season can go well for you!

I hope it's still okay to ask questions? I only have one for right now

I'm just curious on what some of your favourite songs are lately?

Again, thank you for all you do for the community. It really does mean a lot for us to have someone like you to write such beautiful work. But also take care of yourself (part 2). As much as we love your work, we all also love health 💪

Should I sign off with an anon tag signature thing? I dunno. I kinda suck at naming things. OH! That reminded me- Additional question! Is there a nickname that you would like for us to use when addressing you? If not that's okay too! Whyamianxiouswritingthis?

But anyway! I think that's all for now!

Thank you again~

Yes, it’s 100% ok to still ask me questions :)

When I received the email that my book was published it felt so surreal and crazy. I kinda still can’t believe it lol. Thank you so much for saying the world deserved to have my works in their lives, that meant so much to me. I felt all warm inside. It’s called The Flying Adventure Of Berry and Skye it’s on Amazon if any of you were curious. (lol little self promo)

It’s beginning to become less dreadfully hot where I live so I’m very happy about that. I hope this autumn season goes well for you too!!

My favorite songs lately:

Eric Nam-Don’t Leave Yet

Treasure- I Want Your Love

Sf9- Shut Up n’ Lemme Go

DPR Ian- Calico

I love to provide for the community. Thank you so much for telling to take care of myself. Remember to take care of yourself too 💞 and that goes for all of my readers.

You can totally do an anon tag signature thing or I’ve seen anons have their own emoji. I think that would be fun too that if any of you are interested. Honestly I’ve never really had any nicknames, but my name is actually Crystal, so if any of my readers want to call me that feel free.

I had a lot of fun responding to this :) I hope your day goes well.

5 and 8? 🎤

5) Who is your favorite K-Pop rapper, and why?

prefacing this with: i'm sorry to everyone but i am not terribly discerning nor am i generally listening to kpop for the rap verses. also im assuming this is idol kpop we r talking about specifically taeyong because i really like the way that he makes the words sound... does that make sense like he has a very specific tone and diction and i just think it's neat. i also always like to hear monsta x rap line and han and changbin in skz so i hope i like the cb! and im enamored with jurin from xg tbh

8) What's your favorite K-Pop fashion trend?

.... this is genuinely difficult because the fashion/styling of kpop in general is part of what got me into it in the first place, there is literally a certain je ne sais quoi about it as a whole that i love. like you can put together the most godawfully ugly outfit and put it on an idol at work and BAM. i suddenly see something fun about it and can appreciate it for what it is (usually) but actually i really like what i refer to as 'slutty business casual,' like blazers and slacks and button-ups but there's cutouts and lace-up details where there really shouldn't be etc etc (think the suits from libido onlyoneof and that one stage for tear drop sf9 where they're in purple or that one Very Tight white shirt that kai wore for a rover stage). also yes i am a fan of the y2k vibes a lot of ggs have been on lately if i have to pick out ONE specific trend piece i'll say i really did like those white boots with the lug soles that were popular the last few years! so much so that i got a pair for myself haha

SF9 Youngbin MBTI Analysis

- ISFP -

An in-depth analysis of an idol's MBTI type. Based on my opinion and observations, may change later. Not an expert.

MBTI: ISFP (Fi - Se - Ni - Te)

Dom: Fi (Introverted Feeling)

A judging function that uses one's own values and belief to compare and make choices

Youngbin seems to rely on his morals a lot; Fi is moralistic and wants to do what it believes is right. Choices need to align with Fi's beliefs and character.

He's definitely got the passion of an Fi user - never seen a strong Fi user who didn't have something they were devoted to. He even had a little segment on one of their weekly idol episodes just talking about his passionate nature. Giving encouraging deep talks (So Fi-Ni) to the group until 3 am is such an Fi thing to do.

He's very openly supportive about each member's uniqueness and individual talents. Fi wants people to express their individuality.

A note from my brief SF9 analysis: I noticed his Fi the most during their Special Food 9 series; when the staff pranked the group by sending an intimidating customer, who also wanted Youngbin to eat with him. He was very hesitant though since he thought it was wrong of him to eat while the others were working, which was what they were there to do. It wasn't right to him. When he managed to get away from the customer, he immediately apologized to the members.

Aux: Se - Extroverted Sensing

A perceiving function that uses our 5 senses to process the external world.

Youngbin is pretty in tune with his surroundings, always engaged and reactive to whatever happens. He's quite physically energetic as well, especially during their predebut/debut years. It's toned down a bit more now since he's older. I know he used to play soccer a bit and likes playing sports in general.

He seems to enjoy new experiences, always seeking them out. Se is very direct and uses the 5 senses, so it's no wonder he wants to enjoy the most of life. It's admirable how much Binnie romanticizes life (Although a bit more Fi-Ni). He also mentions physical aspects a lot when writing letters to fans (e.g always mentioning the weather, talks a lot about food and making sure fans eat too, asking about fashion styles and current trends, etc).

He seems to be adaptable in new situations; has admitted that he didn't feel good enough to be the leader at first but was eventually able to mold a bit of his personality to suit the role better. He has relieved pressure on himself over time though as he's learned to rely on the members more.

Tert: Ni - Introverted Intuition

A perceiving function that uses one's own personal insights and ideas.

He seems to have a couple of plans here and there. He doesn't always follow it, but he seems to know what he genuinely wants in his life. E.g saying he would've gone to the military first if he didn't become a trainee, wanting to become a father (seems like his life goal), try becoming a radio dj (likely since people have told him his voice would suit the radio. Very calm and nice tone), and wanting to stay with the members even after they disband.

SF9 didn't gain popularity very fast and have had a slow growth since debut; He has talked about this in [I Am A Leader] series interview. They weren't as popular as they are now, but he still mentions being grateful for being able to release albums and travelling overseas regardless. New goals continued to form after each event.

Inf: Te - Extroverted Thinking

A judging function that uses established facts and systems to make objective, working decisions.

His Te seems well developed. He's a natural leader that knows how to efficiently deal with people and situations. He's competitive, straightforward, and disciplined. Whatever he wants, he will work for.

He used to be more strict with the members as he just wanted them to do their best. Whenever they made a mistake, he would keep repeating their dance until they all performed correctly.

Despite having a decent use of this, I don't think it's that high in his stack. He seems to prefer being emotionally comforting to others (seems more natural for him actually) and doing what he believes is right with him.

Kpop typology list

[kimseokjin2024]

The Secretary General of KMCA talks about how Jin is a "complete idol" after analyzing the male idol releases in 2022

OK-Pop, a Youtube channel run by Circle (Gaon) chart, released a video analyzing the performance of male idols' releases in 2022. The analysis was presented by the Secretary General of KMCA (Korea Music Content Association) and Circle (Gaon) Chart, Choi Kwang-Ho.

He was demonstrating the graph of the physical sales and chart performance of male idols (soloists and groups together) in the second quarter of the past year. The Y-axis was demonstrating the physical sales in the first 4 weeks and the X-axis was showing the unique listeners on MelOn in the first 30 days. Choi Kwang-Ho paid attention to every single group and idol, talking about the possibilities of growth for each.

The mentioned groups and soloists got divided into a few categories:

Fandom-type (high physical sales due to the big fandom support): Ateez, Enhypen, Stray Kids.

Public-friendly (unique listeners on MelOn): Highlight, Zico, RM, Winner.

Unclassified: DKZ, Tempest, Ph1Harmony, SF9, Cravity, CIX, Oneus, Xiumin, Super Junior, Xiumin, J-hope, Kihyun, Key, Treasure, The Boyz.

Completed idols (strong in both - physicals and unique listeners): Jin, Seventeen, NCT 127, NCT Dream.

As you can see, Jin is the only soloist who made it into the list of "completed idols". Choi Kwang-ho said that Jin's solo debut received lots of attention and it's seen in his album sales and chart performance in Korea. He proved himself to be a soloist who has strong physical and digital results. "Jin was really successful", - Choi Kwang-ho said. The Secretary General summed up the commentary on Jin by saying that his solo music was very well-favored and the artist is definitely going to come back with even better music after his discharge from the military.

Jin sold over 700k albums in just 7 hours in South Korea and demonstrated a stable performance on the local charts; even debuted on MelOn in the first hour after the release, which is nowadays impressive for a male idol.

Choi Kwang-ho also mentioned that Jin's enlistment made him very sad.

Jin's solo performance with "The Astronaut" was indeed amazing, not only locally, but globally too. He has just debuted as a soloist, but Choi Kwang-ho already put him in the category of "completed idols." Moreover, Jin's promo period lasted for a very short time, and he didn't do any fansign events in Korea, nor did he attend any musical shows. And fans are still complaining about Hybe not making any report regarding Jin's sales in the USA and Europe. However, after releasing only one song, Jin is already owning 7% of yearly Hybe's sales.

On a global scale, Jin is the record-owner of the highest first appearance on Billboard Hot 100 in K-pop history. The artist achieved the biggest debut sales by a K-pop soloist on the Global Billboard 200 in history - 62k. Made it to the Top 5 of Digital Sales Debut Weeks in the US in 2022 (#6 in the pure sales list). "The Astronaut" was charting on the Billboard Worldwide Digital Songs Sales chart for 7 weeks. Jin is the highest-peaking K-pop soloist on the Billboard Hot 100 in Japan this decade (#4) and the first foreign artist to top the Oricon Sales chart in the past 11 years. He became the first soloist to get a gold certificate for a single album on Circle (Gaon) after becoming a million-seller there. He also received an RIA certificate in Japan after surpassing 104k sales in a single day.

thank u for sharing your rant about kpop reactions videos! so i'm not the only one that finds difficult to encounter sincere and constructive reviews lately :(

With trying new yt channels, it started to literally bother me how most seem to have only complete excitement and compliments for any cb they review, no constructive opinions. The thing I love the most is when a reactor is informed (at least about the basics) and has some level of enrichment to bring to the table: filming, editing, music structure, lore (very rare) etc.

And let's not talk about the scary quantity of ppl who don't add literally anything to the rection and most of the time don't really have a clue of what they are doing 🤡 it's only for the views, right?

I do mostly follow 4gen groups now, apart from mx and a couple more, so I guess it's easier for me to find a few more enjoyable reactions since channels now seem to mostly do them about those groups... I did find some new channels that have what I'm looking for, but they do focus on recent music, since they are newer to the kpop scene. Still, the reactors I enjoy can be counted with a single hand lol. And form of therapy is (used to be?) one of those because of how articulated their reactions are.

Yeah exactly… like the majority of the new reactors (especially men) just sit there with their headphones bopping their head (sometimes off beat🤣) and say ‘cool’ and ‘dope’ sometimes….

Among the reactors I actually liked is caitlin benson who is also the person i talked abt in the rant who said they’re not enjoying reacting anymore. Like she’s real enough to admit that. And u could tell she really actually got into monsta x bc she ended up going to their US shows. iirc it was their first kpop concert. (Like the chose monsta x (and maybe ateez iirc) to see live amongst all the groups theyve been reacting to) and did a lot of deep dive into them.)

I guess it would make sense if ppl reacted to a limited number of groups instead of EVERY comeback from EVERY group. And BE REAL abt it! Like if i were a reactor id only react to monsta x, exo, pentagon and maybe sf9 and onlyoneof. And i would have criticism for them and I certainly wouldn’t like all of their releases anyway bc some stuff just arent my taste regardless of being by my bias groups!

Hi!~ I saw your post about requests being open for SF9 fics! You made the post a while ago, so I checked your profile, and it doesn't seem as though your requests are currently closed, but if they are my apologies! You can just skip this if that's the case. But if they're still open, I have some fic ideas that I would love to see be made into full stories! Here are some ideas I've had, you absolutely do not have to do all of these! Feel free to pick and choose which ones speak to you and go from there! And there's no rush either! I've also added potential smut ideas for each story, but if you're not comfortable writing something like that, that's totally fine! Also, if it isn't too much trouble, could the reader in one of the stories be a trans man? I'm a trans guy and we don't get a lot of x reader fics written about us.

Bodyguard AU Youngbin where the reader is like, the 18th person in line to the throne, and Youngbin is the only bodyguard assigned to them since the royal family does not view them as a priority. However, Youngbin is hopelessly in love with them and views them as his top priority at all times and is actually the best bodyguard the royal family have because of his dedication to the job. The reader returns his affections but is unaware that Youngbin loves them back, thus creating relentless ~yearning~ from the both of them. A confession finally happens when the reader risks their life to save Youngbin despite it being Youngbin's literal actual job to do that for them. The reader will be in the hospital and Youngbin is worried sick and he stays with them 24/7, the poor lad hasn't slept a wink since he got there and when the reader finally wakes up, Youngbin declares his love for them because he would've lived the rest of his life filled with regret if the reader had died and they never got to know. Cue happy ending! Possessive sex would work for this story. But not like, toxic possessiveness?? Nothing yandere-esque. It would be more like, soulmate-y type possessiveness. Youngbin saying he's theirs and the reader saying they're his, constant eye contact, holding hands, cumming together, ya know that sort of thing.

Fashion Model AU Seokwoo where he's one of the most well-known fashion models in the entire world, and the reader has been his personal assistant since the very beginning, even before he had gotten famous. The reader is incredibly short, so there's a comically large height difference between the two of them, so Seokwoo has a lot of nicknames for the reader about how short they are. Nicknames like Cupcake, Shortie, Mouse, Cutie, Bunny, Baby, Honeybee, Puppy, Ladybug, etc. It is REALLY obvious to everyone but the reader that Seokwoo loves them. He's physically affectionate with everyone, but he's especially so with the reader. Clings to them all day long, LOVES picking them up and carrying them around cuz he thinks they're so cute, gets jealous in a very harmless, amusing, goofy sort of way where if he sees anyone attempting to flirt with the reader he runs over to them so fast he trips over his own long ass legs to get to their side as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, people hit on Seokwoo ALL THE TIME, but he does everything in his power to swat away all their advances cuz they mean nothing to him. Anytime it happens, it leaves the reader feeling a little grumpy, but they don't know why cuz when it comes to their own feelings, they're kind of a dummy. But eventually, it clicks for them that they're jealous, and it makes them sad cuz they think they're being selfish for feeling this way so they try to distance themselves from Seokwoo after that and he's HEARTBROKEN cuz he's Mr. ClingyMcClingyPants and the reader won't accept his cuddles anymore, and he wants to know why. Eventually, the reader can't deny those big sad brown eyes of his anymore so they admit that they love him and that they were jealous and Seokwoo is so happy he could fly he straight up GIGGLES like a madman and starts flailing around all giddy and lovestruck and the reader is just like "??? Does this mean you love me too?" And Seokwoo's just like "YES, DUH, OF COURSE, OMG!" I'm thinking wall sex for them cuz of the height difference also, Seokwoo has a HUGE size kink so when he sees how cute and small the reader looks with they're legs wrapped around his waist against the wall looking at him with nothing but adoration in their eyes he goes feral. And his dirty talk is nonstop he NEVER shuts up, he praises them the whole time. Notices the hickey on his collarbone the day afterwards and wears it like a badge of honor lmao. He's determined to have everyone in existence see it meanwhile, the reader is so bashful over it and that just makes Seokwoo SOOO SMUG cuz he's such a cheeky devil lol.

Secret Admirer AU Youngkyun where him and the reader are coworkers at an office, and the reader has a huge crush on them, so they start sending Youngkyun anonymous love letters and Youngkyun adores it so much he gets so giggly and soft over every letter. After he starts getting them he's determined to figure out who in the office is sending them and eventually he pieces it together cuz he notices the reader is the only one in the office with a pen that writes in pink ink and all the letters he's gotten are written in pink and in one letter the secret admirer mentioned that they love his singing voice and the reader is the only one that has caught him singing to himself as he got coffee from the break room. He wants to do something really special for the reader to let them know he likes them too so he invites them over to his place to "work together" but when the reader gets there he presents them with a beautiful origami flower that's made from all the letters the reader has sent him! Sweet, loving sex for these two cuz they're adorable. The next day the reader cleans up his place for him and finishes up some of the work he had to do at the office and Youngkyun is looking at them with so much love that you can practically see the wedding proposal ideas playing out in his head.

Childhood Friends to Lovers AU Inseong where him and the reader have been best friends since they were toddlers and are celebrating his birthday together and all of his other friends are there, but eventually the party ends and everyone leaves except for the reader and Inseong and they're just goofing off, cleaning up the big mess from the party together and at some point they start dancing around together, their bodies getting closer and closer and Inseong thinks about how pretty the reader is up close and the reader is thinking the same, and then they're both even closer and the reader briefly looks at Inseong's lips and Inseong immediately notices so he asks the reader if he could kiss them and the reader says yes and one thing leads to another until they're making love on the couch. The morning after Inseong wakes up by himself on the couch and instantly assumes the worst, his melodramatic self thinking, "true love is a MYTH, everything SUCKS, feelings are for LOSERS, I've just been ABANDONED!" until he actually uses that smarty pants brain of his to notice his surroundings and see that the reader is literally right behind him in the kitchen making him breakfast so he's all like "ACTUALLY, I'VE JUST CHANGED MY MIND, TRUE LOVE IS INDEED REAL AND IT'S STANDING RIGHT BEHIND ME MAKING ME PANCAKES!" Goes over to help the reader, and by help, I mean flex his pancake making skills, and by pancake making skills, I mean he burns them so bad the smoke alarm goes off lmao
