Cha Joowan and Ki Hyunwoo sitting next to each other at Seoul Fashion Week 2025 Spring/Summer (September 7, 2024)

[uhhhhmanda]

I finally watched Jun & Jun today. 🥰

Not only is this clip one of the funniest moments in the show (and it's not even the whole scene, lol) but Ki Hyunwoo's deadly lashes, lips, and beautymark combo are really on display. I found him distractingly gorgeous but also funny as hell.

[lucidrims]

            as  it  always  had  been,  hyunki  unabashedly  watches  hyunwoo  change.  they've  known  each  other  for  a  long  time  now  and  have  been  close  since  then,  so  it  was  certainly  not  weird  for  him  to  be  staring,  right  ?  then  again,  there  was  always  that  weird  feeling  that  settles  in  his  stomach  whenever  he  allowed  himself  to  do  these  things  -  something  he  doesn't  feel  toward  their  other  friends  in  the  group.  shrugging  it  off,  the  swimmer  wriggles  his  brows,  "  hot  as  always.  "  shoving  all  sorts  of  feelings  that  came  up  to  the  back  of  his  mind,  he  walks  out  of  the  mansion  with  him,  "  cool,  our  friends  are  probably  there  already  yeah  ?  "  he  asks,  not  retracting  his  hand  away  from  hyunwoo's  grasp.

 ❛  okay  this  it  is.  ❜  he  says,  slipping  out  of  the  hoodie  he  had  been  wearing  so  he  could  change  into  the  buttoned  shirt  ;  not  caring  as  he  was  changing  right  before  his  best  friend.  ❛  how  do  i  look  ?  ❜  turning  around  to  the  male  as  he  was  buttoning  the  buttons  and  then  rolling  up  the  sleeves  after  he  had  tucked  the  shirt  in.  ❛  oh  bet,  we  are  gonna  be  hitting  that  hard  liquor,  you  know  -  the  usual.  ❜  nodding  his  head  with  a  satisfied  smile.  spraying  himself  with  scent  just  to  smell  good,  he  takes  a  last  look  in  the  mirror.  ❛  okay  hot  stuff,  let's  go.  ❜  he  goes  over  to  hyunki,  just  taking  a  hold  of  his  hand.  ❛  so  my  driver  will  take  us.  ❜

SKZ Pack Chapter 25

Trigger Warnings: angst, manipulation, aggression, domestic abuse.

Five days they spent in the Alps with Monsta X. Their Head Alpha, Hyunwoo was very hospitable. He made sure everyone was involved. He even showed Chan his security, to make sure no one would get in their compound as Hyunwoo was worried about his mate, Elsie who was scared of other wolves. Y/N learned from speaking to her, that she grew up in a small pack and her pack didn't interact with others. It was only Hyunwoo making a deal with her pack that he found his soul mate there. It was nice for Y/N to hear someone else talking about being a mate and how intense it was as a soulmated omega. "I once lied to Alpha Hyunwoo about a note I received from a crush. It was harmless the boy was seventeen and I ended up spanked relentlessly. Never played up again." Elsie said as they watched the wolves prepare the car to head into the city. "I mean I've risked it twice or thrice," Y/N said as she drank her Bailey's hot chocolate. "You never?!" Elsie gasped. "Oh, she did." Hyunjin teased, as he gave her a quick heated kiss. "Can I ask?" Elsie whispered as they walked around the side of the house so no one could hear them. "Do they get jealous of each other?" "No. I thought perhaps Hyunjin did, but a lot of it is bedroom talk. None of them make jealous comments in general. Why?" Y/N questioned. "Joo sometimes gets jealous of Ki and vice versa. It causes arguments." Elsie said sadly. "Maybe when we leave, call a pack meeting. That might help relieve any tensions in the pack. It will give everyone the freedom to speak. That's what we did. For a different reason of course." Y/N stated.

Before Elsie could respond Chan called them into the car so they could drive off to the city. Changbin and Jeongin were the two most excited whereas Y/N was going to opt out. She was feeling a bit under the weather as she felt Joshua following them again. The last time they went into the city with Elsie she felt him and now she was feeling it again, but she didn't want to say anything. Yes, Y/N knew a bruised ass was coming for her but she wanted to be sure. "Can me and Y/N watch over there? You'll see us. Please, Alpha Woo." Y/N cringed at the name it reminded her of her younger self. "Only if Chan is happy to," Hyunwoo asked Chan. "Hyunjin and Seungmin are over there getting geared up so yes, but no further," Chan said as he pulled her into a kiss. He could smell her nerves. "Luna. We're all around. Nothing will happen to you." "He's right Luna Y/N. Changkyun and Kihyun are over there too." Hyunwoo reassured so Elsie looped her arm around Y/N's and dragged her off to watch the boys come down the slopes in their dinghies. Y/N and Elsie set up some rules that the first pair down would get to do whatever they wanted. The second pair would get a kiss and so on. It was a race from the highest point which they were so excited about, until the air changed.

The wolves hadn't come down and they had been at the top too long that it was worrying Y/N and Elsie. Y/N was going to phone them when Joshua appeared. "Woah. I meant no harm, omega Y/N." Joshua said, holding out his arms. "Elsie phone Chan," Y/N growled as she pushed the younger omega behind her protectively. "You've changed. There is something different about you. I do mean no harm." Y/N was getting dizzy as she looked into his eyes. She was being sucked into him. "I understand Joshua, but you abused him," Y/N said softly. "That wasn't nice." "I'm here to make amends. Can you accept that?" Joshua asked, placing a hand on her arm. "Sure. But not here. The other wolves won't like it." Y/N said with a smile. "Y/N?!" Jeongin shouted, running down the hill. "What are you doing here?" "Y/N said I can speak to Chan!" Joshua said calmly. "You did?" Jeongin asked. "Yes, I did!" Y/N growled, but she didn't.

Jeongin wasn't buying it and dragged Y/N off, leaving Elsie with Hyunjin. Jeongin was confused and knew there was something wrong with his mate, which was true. As soon as Y/N broke away from Joshua she came back to her senses. She was angry at herself as she kicked the snow. Jeongin crossed his arms waiting for her for her to explain. Y/N did explain what had happened even though it was brief. She explained how one minute she was growling at him and then everything changed. She wanted to tell him to fuck off but it was like she couldn't. Her words were re-written forcing her to speak other words that weren't to exist when it came to Joshua. Jeongin didn't like that knowing Joshua influenced her and the fact Joshua touched their Luna. It made Jeongin feral. It made him lose control. If Y/N wasn't there to hug him, he would have phased in front of everyone. Jeongin was beyond angry and took it upon himself to shout at Chan who wasn't impressed. Chan had even gone as far as to defend Joshua, but Y/N could see it was Joshua's weird essence that made whoever was near him believe in him. Why it wasn't really working on Y/N no one knew but Minho had an idea, but Chan wouldn't hear it. Chan was angry at them all for yelling at him and bringing up old memories on holiday.

It was true this was all a bad time, but Y/N wasn't prepared to lose her alpha to Joshua. She didn't trust him. Not with the power she faced from Joshua. "Chan listen to Minho. You are not you right now just-" "I am not me. What are you going on about Y/N. You are nothing but an omega." Chan shouted pointing at her. Chan never called her an omega. "He's in your head-" "Chan." Minho gasped and pulled Y/N back after Chan slapped her across the face. Y/N grabbed her face and stormed out she was not preparing to lose her alpha. Y/N called Seungmin to come with her but he was too struck to understand what was going on. Y/N wanted to confront him. Y/N took a knife storming out of the house alone to go and find this fucker. Minho ran after with Jisung who tried to call her back but the snow was starting to become heavier that it made them slip. Minho phased into his wolf form to run faster to stop her. His wolf got in front of her moving in her way causing her blue eyes to glare. "Do not stop me, Min," Y/N growled but the tanned wolf whined. "Please. Fuck. Please wait. We need a plan first." Jisung called out as he slid on the snow. "You can't just kill him in front of humans. Think baby. Think Luna please." "Then what do I do? He has my alpha's thoughts in his hands." Y/N cried out as she watched Chan in the distance getting into his car. "I swear to God, you better not Christopher." "This isn't your business, omega," Chan shouted. "If you go. You don't come back." Y/N spat, laughing. Chan stormed up to her his hand going for her throat while Minho growled trying to get in between them. Chan let go and entered his car. "You leave. You'll never be a father."

hey 🌻~! I saw that you might have forgotten to anonymize your post, so i decided to copy+paste it here... if it wasn't a mistake or you'd like to send in the ask again, then i'll c+p my response and put it there instead! srry i didn't respond earlier, either, i had to study..

hey me 🌻 again! I had a few thoughts about the Till raising his and tills test tube kid- firstly I think despite the fact that Ivan had no part in the kids actual conception Till would tell the kid all about his “father” kind of in the way one would talk about a dead spouse. he would make comments whenever the kid would do things Ivan used to do- and tell stories from their childhood, so Ivan feels like an active presence in their lives. Eventually the kid gets very skilled at drawing and as a gift on their parents anniversary (the anniversary of round 6) the kid draws a beautiful picture of their family- one that includes a smiling Ivan standing beside till- and it becomes tills prized possession- And maybe over time the kid gets into the habit of sketching Ivan into scenes of their family, movie nights in the couch show Ivan tucked into the corner holding them both close, pictures of them cooking in the kitchen show Ivan taking something out of the oven, and in a way despite the fact that he was long dead before the kid was ever born he feels as close as any parent. (And obviously people are worried about what this is doing to the kid emotionally- having such a clear reminder of their loss in their faces every day but it seems to be helping Till heal so they can’t begrudge him this small comfort) And then I was thinking that as time went on Till might start thinking of Ivan as a lost love, one he didn’t realize was love at the time but was love nonetheless. And as time goes on he becomes more and more comfortable with the idea that what they could have had together was love, and that despite the fact that Ivan is gone Till loves him now. The till that is far wiser in his age and experience can see that relationship in a new light and falls for Ivan all over again. (And they probably have a little shrine/memorial in their hose that till will talk to when when he thinks their kid isn’t looking so he can keep Ivan up to date about how their kid is doing.) And then I was thinking their afterlife reunion in this au would be so good!! Cause Till has been in love with Ivan for decades by the time he passes away of old age so he’s been waiting to get to see Ivan again for so long- but Ivan has NO CLUE that till has spent the last 50 years loving him relentlessly so till walks up to Ivan and is like “I’m sorry I kept you waiting so long my love 🥰” while holding his face and poor Ivan is like “EXCUSE ME IM YOUR WHAT-“ and I think it would be such a fun twist on their usual dynamic to have till be the openly romantic and forward one and Ivan be all flustered <3 Thank u for always having such fun concepts to think about!!! I literally haven’t written this much in months lol

this concept came from an ask, so it's not necessarily mine... only the parts i've added onto it can be considered mine; that's the same for any other asks i get btw!

honestly the afterlife reunion would be wild. would they age in the afterlife? what form do they take on; the one they desire, the one they see themselves in, etc... imagine a seventy-year-old till, a 22 yo ivan, and a kid that's like... 30. lmaoooo. the thought that they can't watch the living also makes it kind of... sad. imagine sua and ivan waiting there for decades, maybe hyunwoo too, for mizi, till, and hyuna respectively (...maybe luka. if hyunwoo wanted to see luka for whatever reason). and ivan not telling sua the exact details of his comp so she won't make fun of him?

in some cultures you can send items to the dead by burning it. so like. what if the child and till sent letters, drawings and paintings, music sheets, etc. to ivan through that and ivan's recieving all of it, kind of confused ("since when did i have a kid?"), thinking that maybe it's a gimmick of some sort. there'll be tear smudges on till's paper, conveniently blurring till's confessions of love, so it remains a surprise...

how did this become a consideration of afterlife ivan and living till again?

Crown and Chrome - Chapter 6

Synopsis: You have good friends. Kihyun gets what he deserves.

Word count: 4.2k

Triggers: none

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Past (Kihyun focus)

You saw Kihyun regularly throughout the semester, usually a couple times a week. Most afternoons, he would pick you up after classes and bring you to the warehouse where you'd study. Saturday nights remained for racing. Kihyun and Yunho had also gotten much more familiar now since Kihyun often went to pick up your custom jewellery orders. Occasionally, you’d try placing orders for Kihyun too, but Kihyun somehow kept convincing Yunho to cancel them and use the money to add something a little extra to whatever piece you ordered for yourself. 

But watching you wear these jewellery pieces, with a series of dresses as colourful as your personality, always made Kihyun feel a twinge of insecurity. Every couple of weeks you went to networking events, sometimes for your mother’s firm and sometimes with other law school classmates. Many of these classmates were dating other university students too. You always offered to take Kihyun as a plus one, which was half the reason you kept ordering extra pieces (usually lapel pins or brooches to match your outfits), but after a couple events, Kihyun began declining most of them. 

He would make up excuses about needing to work on his bikes more, but the real reason was that he wasn’t good enough for you. Someone like you - beautiful, educated, well-liked - couldn’t be with someone like him - a grease-covered biker whose biggest achievement was staying alive while racing at inhuman speeds. The solution to his dilemma came in the form of a meeting he’d never expected to have: a meeting with MX Property Development’s Executive Team. None of the names or faces in that meeting room were particularly memorable, aside from the CEO and the chief engineer, Son Hyunwoo, who offered Kihyun an ultimatum.

“Mr Yoo, I will say that your relationship with my daughter has not influenced my decision to buyout your warehouse for our redevelopment,” the CEO said. Noting Kihyun’s shocked face, she added, “I‘ve known for quite some time actually. My daughter isn’t subtle when she is happy, so I knew she was seeing someone. All I had to do was check the CCTV footage in the city to find out exactly who you were.” 

Kihyun gulped. This woman was terrifying. No wonder you kept saying you needed to feel safe.

The CEO continued. “Now lucky for you, I did consider your relationship with my daughter when I decided on the pricing.” She slid a sheet of paper across the conference  room table to Kihyun with a sum written on it that was so high Kihyun nearly fell out of his seat.

“Let me be frank, Mr Yoo. Even though you make y/n happy, I don't think you’re the man for her. She’s young, she’s starting out in life, and she needs someone of her calibre. Now the money I’ve given you is what my analysts think will be enough for you to turn your life around and become someone worthy of my daughter.”

A small smile started to break out on Kihyun’s face. 

But the CEO’s next words quickly dashed it. “However, this sum is conditional. If you leave y/n, without a single word, I will personally wire this money to you,” she said while tapping at the sheet of paper. “However, should you choose to stay with her, I will only give you the legally required amount of compensation.” The CEO sighed and finished with, “Simply put, I do not want to see you with my daughter until you are a respectable man.” 

The Past (y/n focus)

Finally, the last day of semester. Almost two months of vacation awaited you, meaning almost two months of non-stop Kihyun time. It was Friday, Kihyun was probably adding the final touches to his bike before the race tomorrow. Excited, you went to the warehouse, like you did every Friday night.

“Ki, baby, it’s the holidays!” You shouted happily as you tried pushed the door, but your voice died down quickly, as did your strength. 

The warehouse door was chained shut and couldn’t be opened fully. You pushed it enough to peek inside and saw that it was dark.

“Kihyun? Honey, are you in there?” You called into the dark, but got no answer. You fumbled for the flashlight on your phone to shine it through the door. Maybe he was asleep or something. You guided the light around, looking for the familiar couch but didn’t see it. You shifted the light some more to see if there were any bikes around, but there were none. 

The place was cleaned out. 

“K-Kihyun?” You said, much quieter, your lips quivering. 

Suddenly the wind whooshing around the harbour felt cold. All those little pathways throughout the harbour were suddenly unfamiliar and scary. And to think you walked here by yourself. You sat on the ground by the warehouse door, hugging your knees while tears slowly dripped down your face. You dialled Kihyun’s number, heard it ring, but got no answer. You tried several more times but still got no answer.

Then you tried another number - Joohoney’s. Kihyun used your phone once to call him, so it was probably in your history. 

To your surprise, Jooheon actually answered. “Hello y/n.” 

You sniffled and returned the greeting, then asked, “Where’s Kihyun?” 

You heard Jooheon sighing on the other end. “He said you guys broke up. We don’t really know where he is either.” 

“What??” You gasped. “But we literally spoke yesterday. I was going to come see him after class but he’s not here. Who said we broke up?”

“Kihyun did. He said you broke up today,” Jooheon repeated.

“How even…” you murmured, your crying intensifying. You then cleared your throat and asked, “Could you send me your address please? Maybe I can wait for Kihyun at your house?”

There was a pause, and you heard shuffling and muttering on the line before Jooheon spoke. “I am sorry y/n, but I don’t think that’s a good idea.”

Dejected, you said goodbye to Jooheon and ended the call.

The Past (Kihyun focus)

“Are you happy now, hyung?” Jooheon asked bitterly when he put the phone down.

Kihyun groaned from his bed. “You know I didn’t have a choice.” 

“Well have you at least thought about what you’ll do with the money?”

“Yeah a bit,” Kihyun replied, sniffling away his own tears. “I’ll go to university, I’ll get whatever goddamn degree I need, and find her again.” 

“If you’re that sure about her, why didn’t you stay and fight for her?” Changkyun said from the doorway to Kihyun's bedroom. 

“I know she is everything I want in life. But I want to become everything she will ever need or want in life. There’s a difference there and currently, I am not what she needs or wants.”

“Eh judging by how much your phone has been ringing in the living room, she probably needs and wants you pretty badly,” Changkyun said with a shrug and walked away. 

The Past (y/n focus)

There was one more person you could contact. Kihyun wouldn’t like it, but it was his fault you were in this mess anyways. You had found Mingi on Instagram once, so you searched for his account and DM’d him, hoping for a response. 

You: Hi Mingi, it’s y/n here. If you’re free I’d love a favour.

He replied about 10 minutes later.

Mingi: Well this is a surprise Mingi: What can I do for ya?

You: Can you pick me up from Kihyun’s warehouse? I will explain when you get here

Mingi: Oooh mystery Mingi: I like it Mingi: Be there in 5

True to his word, Mingi arrived in 5 minutes. He even had the decency to bring a spare helmet for you. Since the last time you had seen him, he had changed his hair to black with blue highlights.

“Hello y/n. What did you need? Can’t lie, I am shocked you texted me,” Mingi said, walking up to your huddled form by the warehouse door. When you looked up at him with your swollen, red eyes, Mingi hurriedly pulled his helmet off and crouched down in front of you. 

“Oh no, what happened? Was it Kihyun? Did he dump you? Do you want revenge? Did he hurt you? Are you lost? Did something happen to Kihyun?” The words tumbled out of Mingi who wasn’t exactly sure what favour you could possibly want but never expected to find you like this.

You tried nodding, since one of those guesses were right, but you started crying before you could form any words. Mingi watched you for a few seconds, unsure of what to do, then stood up and walked away back to his bike. 

“No wait, Mingi, please don’t leave, please, just stay” you called after him, your voice cracking between your sobs. 

Mingi turned to look at you, his gaze being the softest you’d ever seen him. “Relax, y/n, I’m just going to grab that helmet for you,” he replied. 

He returned with the helmet, and placed it over you, gently trying to push it on to your head. You noticed he was struggling, probably worried about hurting you by pushing to hard, so you pulled the helmet on yourself. “Are you taking me somewhere?” 

Mingi bit a finger while he looked you up and down. “I was hoping you could tell me. You look like you’re dressed for something nice.” 

“Oh…” you looked down, smoothing the business dress you’d worn today. It was white, and probably stained now. It also fit very, very tightly over your hips, and would almost certainly ride up the second you got on that bike. “I had things on today,” you said in explanation.

“Things?” Mingi asked. “You look like you were supposed to go to a wedding or something.” 

You giggled at that, and Mingi smiled with you. At least you weren’t crying on the ground anymore. 

“I just dress nice for my classes. Law school and stuff, y’know?” You offered as an explanation.

“Oh boy, law school,” Mingi said with a low sigh. “Kihyun really won the fucking lottery with you huh? Though considering how you’re stranded here, he probably doesn’t realise it.” 

Your face immediately turned into a scowl. “Mingi, I get enough shit about that from everybody else alright?”

“Right, right, sorry, touchy subject, I see,” Mingi said, pursing his lips.

You sighed, stood up and hoisted your bag over your shoulder. “I texted because I need a ride home. I’ll give you money for the petrol when you drop me off.” 

Mingi blinked confusedly. “And I presume Kihyun can’t take you home?” 

“Mingi,” you said his name with gritted teeth. “Are you dense? Did you not notice he’s gone? The warehouse is empty?”

“Huh???” Mingi’s jaw dropped open. “No fucking way,” he said as he walked past you to peek into the darkened warehouse. “Shit, you’re right.” 

“So then, can you take me home? I can tell you the way,” you asked after giving Mingi a few moments.

“Yeah, alright.” 

You followed Mingi to his bike and got on behind him. He almost snorted when he felt you hands ghosting over his waist, unsure whether to hold on or not. 

“Y/n, all bikers understand. You hold on for safety. Kihyun won’t kill either of us.” 

You sniffled behind him but eventually wrapped your arms around his middle. “Kihyun would never hurt anybody.”

Mingi revved up his bike. “No, what you mean is Kihyun would never let anybody hurt you. He’s always been incredibly protective of you, did you know?” 

“Sorta,” you mumbled. “Turn left here.” 

Mingi did as you said. “Did you know he won’t even tell most of the other bikers your name?”

“Wait what?” This was news to you.

“Yeah, one day he came up to me and had me swear to never reveal your name to other people. I assumed he was just being a jealous possessive asshole, who thinks with his dick and not his head…”

You smacked Mingi’s shoulder for that, making him laugh. Eventually, he continued. “But I started to suspect there was another reason a few months ago when I dropped by the warehouse one time and heard you telling Jooheon about why he shouldn’t buy a restaurant in a particular suburb. It really sounded like you knew your shit.”

“Are you trying to tell me you’ve never met a person who understands the property market? Also, enter the highway over there.” 

“No, it wasn’t that, there was one more thing,” He said as he changed lanes. “I heard you say something about a company like you almost owned it.”

“Oh, I see.” 

“I feel like I’m hitting something here. There is a connection between that company and why Kihyun doesn’t want people to know your name, right? Also which exit do I take?” 

“The one in 3 kilometres. And yeah, I guess you’re right about that company,” you replied.

Mingi was quiet for a few seconds, focused on reading the signage for the exit. He then asked, “So since I already know your name, will you tell me the whole story?” 

You sighed. “Yeah alright. It’s not like my identity wasn’t known by my whole school or something. But, you’re right, I do technically own a portion of a property firm. Have you heard of MX?”

“MX? Bloody hell who hasn’t? Don't they own all those fancy apartment buildings? Fuck y/n, who even are you?” Mingi cried out, shocked, then said calmly, “Also, did I miss the turn to your street?” 

“No, it’s the next road on your left. And maybe when you drop me off, you’ll see MX’s CEO,” you replied. 

“I can’t tell if you’re joking there.”

“I’m not. She’s my mum. Also, stop over there, that’s my house,” you replied. 

Once Mingi killed the engine, you climbed off his bike and gave him back his helmet. 

“Thank you for the ride,” you replied as you rummaged through your purse and pulled out some cash. “This is for the petrol.” 

Mingi took the money and stared at it, scrunching his face. “Man I feel strange taking money from you. Like you’re Kihyun’s girl, and you’re you know… that,” he said with a nod towards your house. 

You pouted and shook your head. “No, I’m just y/n. And I’m not Kihyun’s girl anymore.” Your voice cracked at the last word of your sentence. 

“Oh hey hey, no more crying. He fucked up, not you, alright? And I know we only said hellos at the weekly races but you seem like a nice person. You’ll find someone better, okay?” Mingi said, squeezing your shoulder gently.

“Mingi you used to ask about my week and try flirt with me to piss off Kihyun,” you replied. 

“And somehow you always dodged the flirting and told me about what you were studying instead. It’s how I figured out you’re probably a cool person, and…” Mingi paused, unsure whether you’ll cry again. “…and I saw very quickly that you only had eyes for Kihyun.”

“Thanks for that,” you said with a sad smile. “But you won’t be seeing me at the racetrack anymore, so good luck to both you and Kihyun for tomorrow. I’ll get going now.” 

“Thanks y/n. See you around.” 

The Past (Kihyun focus)

“Hey asshole, you mind explaining why you left y/n stranded at your empty warehouse last night?” Mingi said he pulled on his racing gear beside Kihyun in the change rooms.

“Stay away from y/n,” Kihyun said through gritted teeth.

“I dunno man, she asked me to pick her up and I found her crying on the ground. She said you broke up,” Mingi continued. 

“Yeah we did,” Kihyun said without meeting Mingi’s gaze. 

“Can’t believe you fumbled that. She’s pretty, she’s smart, she practically owns MX, what more could you want?” 

“For you to not have the hots for my girlfriend?” Kihyun said with gritted teeth.

“Didn’t you just say you dumped her?” Mingi scoffed. 

“Shut up or else I’ll throw something at you.” Kihyun grumbled. Then he asked, “Hold up, what do you mean MX?”

“I mean exactly what you’re thinking. I know who she is,” Mingi replied nonchalantly, while folding some clothes into his bag.

“Mingi,” Kihyun said sternly, “how the hell did you find that out? I swear man if you did something to her…”

“Jesus Christ Kihyun, you really do think the world’s out to ruin your relationship huh?” 

“Shut up, you don’t know the half of it,” Kihyun said as he slumped down onto a bench.

“And neither does she, I bet. Did it ever occur to you to actually speak to her before breaking up via Joohoney’s phone, you dumb fuck?” 

“Listen Mingi, can we cool it with the criticism? I am sure she called me a bunch of names too,” Kihyun said, glaring up at Mingi. 

Mingi shook his head, keeping his voice calm. “No, she actually tried to tell me you’re a good person who would never hurt anyone. But then you left her crying at an abandoned warehouse. She trusted you to do nothing more than love her, and you failed.” 

The Present (Hyunwoo Focus)

With Hyungwon’s departure from MX Property Development, Hyunwoo was tasked with finding the replacement. He looked through the applications with Hyungwon, until one caught his attention: Yoo Kihyun. The name was admittedly familiar, and a look at the candidate’s LinkedIn profile picture showed he was precisely the young man from several years ago, all the way down to the orange hair. And he wasn’t a bad candidate either with a stellar record of negotiating some very lucrative deals. 

Hyunwoo slept on his thoughts for a few days - would you even want to work with Kihyun? By and larger, Kihyun was the best candidate, so Hyunwoo eventually told Hyungwon the story of your past. Hyungwon already knew about how your little first year uni student self fell in love with a biker, but he had no idea this biker’s workshop was part of an MX acquisition, or that your mother paid him off to leave you. Hyunwoo and Hyungwon were both pleasantly surprised that after Kihyun disappeared, he really did become the kind of man you were supposed to be with.

Hyungwon was the first to suggest an interview with Kihyun. Even without you two being star crossed lovers, he was still the best candidate, and maybe it wouldn’t hurt to finally give their lovely new CEO the happiness she needed right? But what if Kihyun had already moved on?

Luckily, Hyungwon had an answer to that. He went down the good old personal friends route. You’re school friends with Somin of Kard, who was Kihyun’s supervisor and also happened to be his reference. A quick phone call and mention of your name was all she needed to explain that Kihyun was currently single. So Hyungwon advised Hyunwoo to invite Kihyun for an interview. The two decided to hold the interview away from you, so the Friday before Hyungwon’s retirement, Hyunwoo invited Kihyun to MX’s gym of all places. Still, he did let slip there was a potential party date waiting for you at the gym that day.

The Present (y/n focus)

Having you, his boss and the love of his life bring up all the ways he unintentionally hurt you while standing in a deserted parking lot was not how Kihyun thought his evening would go. But your voice had gone from practically spitting venom to something introspective. Both of you were still holding each other’s hands too.

“Y/n,” Kihyun began. “I know I fucked up. Everyone around me who knew you made sure I knew that every single day.” 

You hung on your head, looking down at your interconnected hands. “Kihyun, I just don’t understand why you did it. If you just wanted to be sponsored, you could’ve asked the company. If you wanted to keep dating while you got your degree, you could’ve. But why did you have to leave?”

“It was your mother, y/n. She paid me to when I gave up the warehouse,” Kihyun said, somewhat worried for your reaction. 

“Are you saying you left because you were angry my mother’s company wanted to buy your warehouse?” You asked, looking up at him confusedly.

“What? No!” He said a little too quickly while pulling your hand, finally bringing your bodies together. 

You let out a small cry at the impact, and stared up at Kihyun, your faces inches away from each other.

Kihyun looked at the ceiling, trying to keep his calm and collect his thoughts. With a long exhale, he said, “What I meant is, your mother personally paid me to become a man worthy of you.”

You rolled your eyes at that. Even after all these years, you were stuck at this one question. “Jesus fucking Christ Kihyun, you still don’t get it,” you said, laughing to yourself. “You keep forgetting that I was happy with you. You gave me the affection I wanted, the support I needed and everything in between.” 

Kihyun shook his head. “No, that’s not true, y/n. You deserve to live like a princess, and as much I wanted you to have that life, I couldn’t give it to you.”

You moved your hands to hang around his neck as you spoke. “But wasn’t I your princess?” 

Kihyun leaned down to press a kiss on to the inside of your arm. “What if I still want you as my princess?” He murmured into your skin while his arms loosely circled your waist. 

You smiled at his words. “You know, the moments when I felt most like your princess was when you simply took care of me and tried to make me happy.” You started tangling your fingers into his hair as you spoke, your eyes looking dreamy and distant as you reminisced. “Stuff like packing a lunchbox for me so I could sleep more, picking me up from all my events because I wanted to drink. And more recently, how you’ve been restocking my fridge at work without telling me.”

Kihyun’s eyes widened at that. “I didn’t know you knew that,” he said sheepishly, looking to the side, away from you. 

You giggled at his reaction. “Minhyuk dobbed you in.” 

Tentatively, you leaned your head down on his chest. Almost immediately, his arms tightened around your waist. Your heart felt like it would burst out of your chest, and you knew your cheeks would begin to hurt soon with how much you were smiling. Being in Kihyun’s arms again felt like home. You felt like every bit of tension you had carried, every worry, problem and fear, had all disappeared.

 

You weren’t sure how long you stood there, wrapped up in Kihyun’s arms until he spoke. Playing with your earrings, he said, “You kept them. I am surprised.” 

You took his hand and kissed it. “Why is that?” 

“Yunho told me you returned most of the jewellery you had ordered,” Kihyun replied. 

“Oh.” It was true. Since Kihyun kept getting Yunho to add a little something extra to all the pieces you commissioned during your relationship, you ended up returning everything and having them remade. Despite this, you had one question. “How did you find out?”

Kihhyun traced his finger down your neck to your scarf, playing with the material. “When I went to order more pearl cufflinks to match all my suits.”

You plucked his hand off your scarf to examine the cufflinks. It was the same design as the earrings you gave him. The giddiest smile crept on to your face seeing that and Kihyun smiled with you. “Does it really make you that happy?” He asked. 

“Yes,” you replied, pressing yet another kiss to his hand. “It shows we are together.” 

Wait did you really say that? You hadn’t even talked about it yet. Did you and Kihyun want to be a couple again? Like sure he was holding you like this and talking about the past but what if this was just a random moment? 

“Uhh what I meant was…” you began.

“Do you actually want to give me a second chance?” Kihyun asked quickly. 

“Um well,” you tried again. 

“Please y/n.” 

“Ki…” you sighed. “Just… I don’t know. Do you want to try again?” 

Kihyun cradled your face in his hands. He couldn’t believe what you were asking. “God y/n, you’re like an angel. I would try absolutely anything in the world if it meant I could be with you. I am not letting you go again, not without fighting.” Kihyun’s own tears threatened to spill as he said this, so you stood up on your tip toes and kissed his jaw. 

“Yes. Let’s try again.”

His tears finally fell. But they were happy, relieved tears. Everything he ever achieved in life, it was all for you. Returning to you had been his only purpose in life for several years, but he could finally step up and realise his dream: loving you again.

“My princess, can I kiss you?”

Queen of Tears. 눈물의 여왕. 7.9/10

I wouldn't recommend this drama to my friends. I would rewatch this drama.

Hyeon Tae's face expressions are funny. Lmaoo at when Hae In calls Hyun Woo sexy dynamite. That's too good. I like her lusting over him. Wait so funny when Hae In hits her brother to drink the water and Hyun Woo is like she's not like that to me. Comedy gold. Lol at when we're like how'd you get into Seoul Uni when talking about Hyun Woo being bus man. Same with Young Sook.

The acting chemistry between the protags are flawless to me. Hae In's isolating feeling towards her sickness is so sad. The romance I feel with Hyun Woo's fake actions i feel. Hyun Woo is a hottie husband who always shows up. Wife me up. Jiwon is soo good at facial acting and also she's still so pretty. What a great concept of a show. Hae In following Hyun Woo's bus is shown so cutely. I'll date you Soo Cheol. His love for his family is so beautiful. But, Hyun Woo, wife me up. He's such a simple, adorable, smart guy. Damn that glass seal is cool. Damn this wine collection is awesome. I like the Beomja and Hyunwoo duo. I like Hyunwoo and Haein's dads supporting each other, especially watching a drama together. I love Hyunwoo's parents. I love the epilogue. Not this miracle of Hae In's memory journal surviving. Ohoo at Soo cheol's improved biking.

Eeek! so cute when Hyun Woo zooms to Hae In on their first night together. Hehe at Hae In's "왜 저래, 진짜?" when she thinks Hyun Woo wants to come into her room. I squeal. Her reopening her feelings is so cute.

Hae In's memory flashes are so scary.

Da Hye's ex is disgusting. Eun Sung is manipulation 101. Eun Sung picking up Hae In's journal thing for after surgery is a big nono. My anger at Eun Sung's behavior post-surgery and destroying the journal. Why does Moh Seulhee fit so perfectly in prison.

I'm crying the whole time Hae In goes to Germany alone and her aunt finding out about the illness. I'm crying so much at Hyun Woo telling his mom about Haein's illness. I'm crying so much at Soo Cheol loving his family so much. There's no stopping my bawling in all the scenes after Haein reveals to the press that she's sick. Ep. 11 is a killer.

I can't imagine wanting someone dead and then later reigniting the old love.

Song Joong Ki's appearance was so random. lol. Also the fact that he's Vincenzo here. LOL at Hong Jin Kyung's cameo.

It's actually tragic what a horrible life Eun Sung had because of his own psychoness and his mom's. Like he's out here just loving, but he happens to be crazy about it. He could've had the girl and a mom in another life, you know.

• 𝙉𝙖𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙤 𝙙𝙚 𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙧𝙖 - 𝘕𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘮𝘶𝘳𝘢 𝘳𝘪𝘬𝘪

• sinopse: Vocês estão em um namoro de mentira para livrar Ni-ki de certos boatos indesejados, como é um romance falso, é totalmente sigiloso então nenhum do grupo no qual ele participa, sabe sobre essa grande mentira de vocês. Em uma festa qualquer que Jake e Heeseung preparou é onde se passa nosso cenário.

- Narrado em primeira pessoa (narrado por dois personagens

- Imagine grande, não consiguir fazer menor 🥺

Nesse exato momento faz três horas na qual eu estou em pé em frente a um balcão de bebidas olhando todas aquelas pessoas se divertindo, dançando e cantando como se fosse a última coisa que elas estivessem fazendo, bom sabemos que no dia seguinte uma gota de arrependimento vai cair sobre todos. Dou o primeiro gole na taça de vinho não muito grande na minha mão, enquanto vejo algumas das varias mulheres subindo as escadas da casa.

Normalmente essas resenhas gigantes são feitas em casas grandes que os staff dos meninos alugam, eles contratam as pessoas para organização e os membros chamam as pessoas, resumindo, essas festas são totalmente privadas, são feitas para ficar bem longe da mídia em si, pra falar a verdade eu odiava essas festas, Riki me obriga a vim em todas, não entendo isso, ele me detesta, não me suporta e faz de tudo para que eu fique longe, mas sempre, sempre quer que eu apareça nessas festa cansativas.

Sou uma garota totalmente caseira, odeio movimento e pessoas demais, viro de frente ao bar olhando aquelas bebidas a mostra, apoio meu braço no balcão e coloco minha mão na testa, eu tô implorando por uma cama. É exatamente duas e doze da madrugada e minha velha interior pede uma cama, um chá de camomila, um cobertor e novelas, mas não é isso que eu estou fazendo agora

- Você nunca se diverte nessas festa né? - Uma voz totalmente desconhecida por mim fala ao meu lado, direciono meu rosto a tal voz e vejo um cara que eu nunca tinha visto na minha vida, ele era mais alto que eu, e tinha cabelos extremamente pretos e não era tão grande, não era muito bonito mas tem um charme

- Quem seria você? - pergunto e bebo mais um gole daquele péssimo vinho

Ele ri baixo e responde minha pergunte - Lee hyunwoo, um prazer s/n - Estranhei assim que falou meu nome, ele disse meu nome, não meu sobrenome, o que era estanho, nunca vi esse homem na vida - Sempre te vejo aqui, sei que namora o Nishimura, mas é intrigante...nunca te vejo com ele - Ele bebe um gole de whisky e desvia o olhar de mim e procura alguém pelo lugar e parecia ter achado assim que parou no Riki que estava sentando em um sofá bebendo alguma outra bebida que não me importava, ele tava rindo com uma garota qualquer mas parecia adivinhar o olhar de Hyunwoo para ele.

Assim que Riki percebeu o olhar do homem, ele o olhou sério, mais do que o normal assim que percebeu que ele estava comigo, Hyunwoo desviou seu olhar pra mim e sorriu com os olhos

- Distantes, os olhares de vocês, são distantes - Ele parecia analisar tudo

- Você tá viajando, eu só não curto essas festas, inclusive nunca te vi por aqui - largo aquela taça de vinho no balcão e olho pra ela tentando ao máximo não fazer contato visual

- Você nunca olha pras pessoas né, tá sempre admirando essas bebidas mas sempre bebe o mesmo vinho e sempre faz careta como se o odiasse assim como odeia essas festas, não é? - era problemático a forma como ele sabia, como ele era observador e analítico

Olho pra ele e rio de canto, desacreditada, eu estava ficando com medo na real. - Você é estranho - Deixo escapar em voz alta e escuto ele ri fraco, e sinto olhar dele sobre mim

- Você é adorável sabia? - Ele fala sorrindo e me olhando com uma cara totalmente estranha, ok, eu realmente estou com medo.

- É eu sei, obrigada, tenho que ir, tchau - Fujo totalmente do assunto e tento sair dali, não estava gostando do olhar dele, da forma de como ele se aproximava e tentava pegar na minha mão, e a forma como me analisava com aqueles olhos castanhos de amedrontar , ele segura minha mão e me puxa para mais perto me segurando pela cintura, enquanto sua outra mão aperta fortemente meu pulso, eu tenho certeza que vai ficar marcado.

- Me solta, louco - consigo trocer a mão dele fazendo ele me soltar, e saio correndo dali, subo as escadas o mais rápido possível, olho pra trás e ele estava me observando com aqueles olhos pequenos e estranhos, corto o contato visual e entro em um quarto que estava com a porta aberta e tinha algumas garotas conversando, assim que entrei percebi que não era bem vinda ali, mas não ia sair, não vou descer nem fudendo.

Elas me olham estranho e todas saíam do quarto, por um momento quis sair por medo daquele cara esquisito vim atrás, mas fiquei ali assim que olhei pra cama, que estava me chamando, fechei a porta e tirei os malditos saltos, me deitei na cama e me enrolei naqueles cobertores aconchegantes, nem sequer me importava com o som extremamente alto lá em baixo.

Nishimura Riki:

Quando aquele cara me encarou não conseguir tirar meus olhos deles dois, s/n não era de muito papo, ela odiava está aqui, por isso eu a obrigava a vim pelo contrato que temos, era engraçado vê ela me olhando como se fosse me matar quando tivesse tempo. Nunca reparei nesse cara em nenhuma das festas, mas era estranho, ele falava com ela como se tivesse intimidade, como se a conhecesse, ela o olhava como se achasse ele estranho e esquisito e com certeza ela achava isso

- Aí Jake, quem é aquele cara falando com a S/n mesmo ? - Chamo pelo meu amigo e ele me olha

- Aquele é o Hyunwoo, um amigo do Heeseung, conheço muito ele não, agora vou voltar lá para minha estrangeira - Ele fala saindo de perto de mim e a garota que tava falando comigo se despede de mim e sai juntamente com o Jake

Contínuo a observar aquela cena que estava me dando nos nervos e tento decifrar o que eles estavam conversando mas não estava conseguindo, ela acaba a conversa tentando sair dali mas ele a segura pela mão e agarra seu pulso e põe sua mão livre na cintura, ele apartava com força que dava pra vê a cor do pulso mudando, eu estava preste ir lá só que ela é mais rápida e troce o pulso dele e corre pro segundo andar da casa.

Ela sobe rápido as escadas e olha por um milésimo para trás, esse filha da puta ainda estava olhando para ela, ela corre mais rápido e entra em um quarto aberto no qual não dava para vê muito bem, mas as garotas que aparentavam está lá saíram assim que ela entrou, todas elas desceram as escadas e passaram por mim, algumas delas esfregava suas mãos em meu braço e ai tive a certeza que precisava lavar essa jaqueta o mais rápido possível.

Vejo o cara se levantar rápido e sobe as escadas rápido indo em direção ao quarto em que ela estava.

Esse fudido.

- Ni-ki!!! oiii! Quanto tempo, você não me manda mais mensagem e nem me responde né - uma voz extremamente fina e insuportável se aproxima e me puxa quando eu estava indo subir as escadas, ela se envolve em meu braço e eu olho rápido para o andar e vejo ele indo em direção do quarto

-Me solta garota - Me solto dela a força e subo as escadas, eu vou é jogar fora essa jaqueta, isso sim.

Corro até o quarto e ele estava parado em frente a porta, com a mão na maçaneta, ele ia entrar, esbarro em seu ombro de propósito fazendo ele gemer de dor baixo, escuto ele xingar e o olho

- Riki?! Porra

- Hyunwoo né? O que faz aqui? - falo e entro em sua frente ficando na frente da porta, rio pra ele e ele me olhava furioso

- Eu? Bom...eu estava apenas procurando o banheiro...só isso - ele respirava fundo a cada frase, e escondia as mãos

- Ah...entendi. Minha mulher tá nesse quarto, e sabe, eu sou ciumento, não curto homens perto dela sabe? E ela tá dormindo, ela vira uma fera se acordar ela - falo quase rindo e ele respirava fundo e tentava manter a calma, antes que ele falasse alguma coisa abro a porta o bastante pra que ele olhasse ela, vou até ela que estava virado de costa para a porta, ando ao redor da cama ficando de frente a frente com ela, ela estava mesmo dormindo, ou tentando, ainda não tinha dormindo. S/n sempre franze a sombrancelha quando dorme e ela nao estava franzida, mas ela estava deitada calmamente.

Olho de relance para ele que estava paralisado com os olhos vermelhos, beijo no canto dos lábios dela, me levanto e vou ate a porta acenando pra ele e só espero o xingo dela

- Riki seu porra, porquê fez isso? - Ela vira pra mim e me olha com os olhos cansados e com a mão no canto onde beijei, ela estava linda com essa cara lavada e de cansada

Tiro a jaqueta e jogo no chão do quarto e me deito ao seu lado e me viro pra ela - depois eu explico gatinha, agora dorme, dorme - dou tapinha no braço dela e ela devolve os tapas mais fortes e grito de dor fazendo drama, ela da outro tapa no meu braço e vira de costa para mim, eu ri fraco e me viro pra ela e o abraço, estranhei porque ela não reclamou, levanto um pouco minha cabeça e vejo suas sombrancelha franzidas

- Dormiu...bom - fecho meus olhos e depois sinto ela se virar de volta pra mim me abraçando. Ela parece um gato arisco, mas é uma gatinha carente quando está inconsciente. A abraço mais forte e assim fecho meus olhos pra poder dormir junto com ela.

Fim.

[jaemirani]

He'd been dreaming about this for a long time.

San tak tahu apa yang salah, kala dirinya dan Wooyoung tak sengaja bertukar pandang di ruang ava—tempat berlangsungnya teater musikal siang ini—Wooyoung melengos begitu saja. Ia rasa hubungan mereka semakin membaik akhir-akhir ini, terbukti dari pemuda kecil yang seringkali kirimkan pesan padanya bahkan hampir setiap hari. Namun, melihat gurat raut datar milik Wooyoung kala netra mereka secara tak sengaja beradu pandang, seolah mengatakan ada yang salah di antara mereka berdua. Dan San tak mengerti kenapa.

Usai tonton pertunjukan teater musikal tiga jam lalu, San belum juga pulang, bahkan ditolaknya ajakan Yuqi dan Arin untuk pergi ke tempat karaoke sebelum mereka benar-benar pulang ke rumah. Pikirnya, ia tak akan tenang jika persoalan dengan Wooyoung tak segera diselesaikan. Dan akhirnya, di sinilah ia sekarang, berdiri di depan mahakarya hasil jemari ajaib milik pemuda kecil. Kembali injakkan kaki di tempat pameran, berharap akan kembali berjumpa dengan Wooyoung secara tak sengaja seperti beberapa saat lalu.

Namun, belum sampai lima menit ia berdiri di sana, pesan dari Hyunwoo masuk, berhasil buyarkan lamunannya. Isinya cukup panjang, rentet kata dengan banyaknya kata tanya itu kalau diucapkan mungkin akan terdengar cukup mengintimidasi.

Mas, jujur aku ga tau masalah Mas ambek Wooyoung apa, tapi tadi Wooyoung ngomong mbek aku, dia pengen ngobrol ambek Mas, tapi Mas lagi bareng cewek. Mas lagi sama siapa tadi? Mas bareng cewek, tah? Iki Wooyoung e galauan, loh, Mas. Mas ki sebenere serius ga sih ambek Wooyoung? Lek emang suka yo diusahake. Iki Wooyoung salah paham aja kan pasti? Diobrolno dulu coba, arek e murung terus daritadi, Mas ga kasian, tah? Arek lain pada ketawa-ketawa, Wooyoung malah cemberut. Lek pengen ngobrol ambek Wooyoung, saiki arek e ndek selasar gedung D18. Samperno yo, Mas. Lek dia nanyano aku, bilang aja aku masih onok urusan.

Dan usai baca tuntas isi pesan itu, San sontak pijat dahinya pelan, ia jelas tahu Wooyoung tengah salah paham sekarang. Dimasukkannya kembali ponselnya ke dalam saku celana, lantas ia beranjak dari sana, susuri selasar gedung menuju parkiran.

Masuk ia ke dalam mobil, keluar dari parkiran, lantas kemudian dibelahnya jalanan menuju gedung D18 yang tak terlalu jauh dari sana. Di sepanjang perjalanan, ia merapal doa, berharap Wooyoung benar-benar masih berada di sana. Dan tepat saat gedung dengan tulisan berbunyi D18 terpampang jelas di hadapannya, ia sontak hentikan laju kendaraannya, lantas turunkan kaca mobil untuk bisa lihat lebih jelas presensi pemuda kecil. Pemuda dengan setelan kaos putih berlapis kain sifon berwarna senada itu berdiri dengan gelisah, berkali-kali mengecek ponselnya, tampak seperti tengah menunggu seseorang untuk datang.

“Wooyoung?” Lantas, yang di sana tolehkan kepala dengan ekspresi terkejutnya. “Lagi nungguin siapa?”

Pemuda itu sedikit mendekat ke arah mobil milik San, untuk pastikan siapa yang baru saja lontar sapa padanya. “Loh, Mas belum pulang?”

“Belum. Kamu lagi nungguin siapa? Belum mau pulang?”

Diliriknya sejenak oleh Wooyoung ponselnya di tangan, sebelum akhirnya ia kembali tatap San di dalam mobil. “Lagi nungguin Hyunwoo, katanya mau pulang bareng,”

“Hyunwoo barusan chat saya, katanya dia masih ada urusan,”

“Loh, serius?”

“Ayo pulang bareng, nanti saya antar sampai kosan.”

Pemuda kecil sejenak berpikir, merasa tak enak kepada Hyunwoo jika pulang lebih dulu, namun ia juga tak bisa menolak tawaran dari San untuk pulang bersama.

“Wooyoung? Ayo, langit juga udah gelap, bentar lagi mau hujan.”

Lantas, akhirnya, ia beri anggukan kepala, kemudian masuk ke dalam mobil senada langit malam milik Choi San. Sejenak ia buka ponselnya, kirimkan permintaan maaf kepada Hyunwoo sebab ia pulang lebih dulu, sebelum akhirnya ia simpan ponselnya, memilih diam perhatikan jalanan di depan.

Baru saja mereka keluar dari gerbang, hujan tiba-tiba turun basahi jalanan, buat orang-orang yang tengah berjalan di pinggiran jalan terbirit berlari, menepi di selasar gedung ataupun di bawah atap ruko.

“Kasian mereka gak bawa payung...”

Gumaman itu tak sengaja ditangkap oleh telinga pemuda tinggi, buat kedua ujung bibirnya terangkat, pamerkan senyum tipis miliknya. “Padahal dari pagi tadi langitnya udah kasih tanda dia bakal nangis hari ini.”

Dengar kalimat itu, buat pemuda kecil tolehkan kepala. Ia tak balas sepatah katapun, hanya pandangi bagaimana netra dibalik kacamata itu berusaha fokus pada jalanan di depan selagi kaca mobil dihantam tetesan hujan habis-habisan. Dan kala netra mereka akhirnya bertemu tak sampai tiga detik, Wooyoung memilih untuk alihkan pandangan, lagi.

Usainya, mereka berdua memilih untuk bungkam. Dengarkan suara tetes air hujan yang menghantam mobil, setidaknya itu bisa usir sunyi panjang yang selimuti dua nyawa di dalam mobil yang dingin.

ㅤ

ㅤ

“Ini, keringin rambutnya. Aku bikin kopi dulu.”

San berakhir di sini, di dalam kamar kosan milik Wooyoung. Usai disambutnya handuk kecil dari tangan Wooyoung, ia lantas duduk di tepi kasur milik si tuan kamar. Diusapnya sejenak rambut basahnya akibat tetesan hujan kala mereka berlari dari gerbang kos sampai ke kamar milik Wooyoung yang berada di lantai dua. Kosan ini tak punya parkiran untuk mobil, jadi mereka terpaksa harus hujan-hujanan menuju kamar milik Wooyoung.

San hentikan gerak tangannya yang tengah keringkan rambut, biarkan tetes air dari rambutnya jatuh ke atas kemeja putih yang nyaris pamerkan seluruh tubuh bagian atasnya akibat tetes air hujan yang terlampau deras.

Ia edarkan pandangan, melirik ruangan itu dari sudut ke sudut. Kamar ini tak terlalu besar jika dibandingkan kamar milik Wooyoung di rumahnya, namun isinya cukup lengkap. Ada toilet dan kamar mandi, dapur kecil, meja belajar, tempat tidur, serta nakas kecil di sampingnya. Namun, mengingat bagaimana mewahnya hidup Wooyoung dahulu, San cukup yakin kosan dengan ukuran tak terlalu lebar ini tak akan cukup nyaman bagi Wooyoung yang terbiasa tinggal di tempat yang luas.

Beberapa mainan yang terpajang di rak dekat meja belajar itu sontak curi atensi pemuda tinggi. Pikirnya, mungkin pemuda kecil kembali koleksi mainan selama mereka berpisah dulu. Ia tak pernah tahu, bagaimana usaha si tuan kamar untuk membuat ruangan ini tak terasa sepi.

Lantas sekarang, pandangannya kembali beralih, kali ini ditatapnya punggung kecil milik Wooyoung yang tengah sibuk di depan pantry. Tadi, di perjalanan menuju kemari, yang lebih kecil ajak ia untuk mampir, dengan tawaran akan diseduhkan kopi hangat, lantas San iyakan tawaran itu tanpa banyak berpikir.

Kalakian, ia berdiri. Dengan handuk kecil yang tersampir di pundak kiri, ia hampiri si tuan kamar dan berdiri di balik punggungnya selagi pemuda itu sibuk aduk kopi di dalam gelas berukuran mini.

“Wooyoung,” dan suara dingin itu sontak buat yang lebih kecil berbalik untuk hadapkan tubuh ke arahnya. Sedikit terkejut temukan ia yang berdiri dengan jarak sedekat ini.

“Kenapa? Duduk aja, ini kopinya bentar lagi selesai.” Ia tiba-tiba mendecak kala dilihatnya rambut serta kemeja itu masih basah. Diraih handuk yang tersampir di pundak pemuda tinggi, kalakian diusapkan pada rambutnya yang basah, bantu ia keringkan rambutnya. Sesekali tangan itu sedikit kibaskan kemejanya, berusaha kurangi basah pada kemeja yang hampir jiplakkan warna kulitnya.

San berharap Wooyoung omeli dirinya selagi tangan itu sibuk keringkan rambutnya, namun ternyata pemuda kecil tetap diam, fokus pada kegiatannya. Satu menit sudah mereka bertahan di posisi yang sama, pemuda tinggi diam tundukkan kepala agar tak sulit pemuda kecil usap rambutnya.

San tak tahan, akhirnya, dengan tiba-tiba ia dorong tubuhnya ke arah Wooyoung hingga yang lebih kecil menubruk pantry di belakang, dikungkungnya pemuda kecil dengan kedua lengan yang raih sisi pantry. Wooyoung kaget? Jelas, handuk di tangannya sampai terlepas dan jatuh begitu saja ke lantai.

“Kompornya masih nyala—”

Gesit sekali jemari itu matikan kompor, tak ingin buat pemuda kecil beranjak dari kungkungannya. Lantas sekarang, ia terdiam. Tatap wajah pemuda tinggi yang datar tanpa ekspresi. Ia tiba-tiba merasa sesak, berada sedekat ini dengan pemuda tinggi dengan baju dan rambut yang sama-sama basah, buat dinginnya atmosfer di dalam kamar itu tiba-tiba berubah menjadi hangat. Seolah hujan dibalik jendela itu sama sekali tak pernah hantarkan hawa dingin.

“What's wrong with you today, Wooyoung?”

Ditanya seperti itu oleh San, buat Wooyoung tiba-tiba ketakutan. Jika keadaan saat ini terjadi pada mereka tiga tahun lalu, mungkin Wooyoung akan mendorong San menjauh lalu memakinya tanpa ampun. Namun, sekarang semuanya sudah berbeda. Wooyoung yang selalu ingin terlihat kuat dan terlampau keras kepala itu telah hilang, sisakan ia dan sisi lemahnya yang selalu mengais kasih sayang dari orang-orang sekitarnya. Lantas, kala San memojokkannya seperti sekarang, ia merasa sesak dan ketakutan.

“Kenapa cerewetnya hilang? I don't think there's anything wrong, why are you being so quiet all of a sudden? Kamu marah karena saya bawa teman-teman saya ke kampus kamu?”

Pemuda kecil beri gelengan, usai ditatapnya sejenak manik legam milik pemuda tinggi, tak sampai satu detik. “Aku gak marah. Kenapa juga aku harus marah?”

“Bener? Kamu gak salah paham sama mereka, kan?”

Kali ini ia diam, tundukkan kepala hindari tatapan San yang semakin lama semakin terasa mengintimidasi. “Aku denger dari temen sekelasku yang kenal sama Mas, katanya Mas sama temennya Mas yang namanya Arin pacaran,”

“Terus, kamu percaya?”

Lagi, gelengan lemah itu ia tunjukkan. “Enggak. Kan Mas pernah bilang kalau Mas gak punya pacar,”

“Iya, saya sama dia gak pacaran, dan gak pernah pacaran. She's just my ex-crush. Temen sekelasmu mungkin salah ngira soal hubungan saya sama dia.”

Ia kembali anggukan kepala, cukup paham, walaupun penuturan itu cukup buat ia meringis pelan.

“Now it's clear, right? Kamu cuma salah paham, saya gak punya pacar, Wooyoung,” serius sekali netra itu beri tatap pada pemuda kecil yang masih setia memalingkan wajah. Yang di dalam kungkungan hendak beranjak dari sana, namun kembali ia tahan, lebih didekatkannya wajah mereka hingga buat rambut basah mereka berdua hampir bersentuhan.

“Apalagi? Udah, kan? Mas bilang aku cuma salah paham,”

“No, there's still something wrong with you. Kenapa, Wooyoung?”

Pemuda kecil sejenak diam, hanya pandangi pundak milik pemuda tinggi, sejenak berpikir apakah hubungan mereka akan membaik atau malah sebaliknya setelah ia buka suara dan jujur perihal apa-apa yang ganggu pikirannya saat ini.

“Jung Wooyoung?”

Ah, peduli setan dengan hasilnya. Ia ambil satu tarikan napas, lantas kembali muntahkan kata.

“Mas kalau risih sama aku, bilang aja. Aku tahu Mas pasti kaget karena aku tiba-tiba deketin Mas, padahal dulu tiap diajak ngobrol aja aku gak pernah mau. And I can see that you're straight, so you might be surprised to be approached by a guy like me—”

“Siapa bilang saya risih? Saya gak pernah bilang saya risih dideketin kamu,” suara itu tiba-tiba meninggi, buat yang lebih kecil semakin tundukkan kepala.

“Tapi, Mas kayak risih, aku tau!”

“Don't just look away when you're talking. Mata saya di sini, bukan di pundak.”

Pemuda itu sejenak teguk ludahnya sendiri, sebelum akhirnya dongakkan kepala, sabung mata dengan pemuda tinggi. Hingga kemudian, ia kembali muntahkan kata. “Mas gak pernah jawab tiap kali aku mention kalau aku suka sama Mas. Sekarang juga Mas selalu saya-kamu ke aku, padahal dulu aku pernah bilang kalau aku gak suka, Mas jadi mirip Papa kalau kayak gitu. Terus juga, Mas gak pernah panggil aku Wooyo lagi. Manggilnya selalu Jung Wooyoung Jung Wooyoung terus. Mas lupa, ya? I hate my fullname.”

Kuasa pemuda tinggi terangkat, usap kristal bening yang tak sengaja jatuh dari pelupuk mata pemuda kecil. Kiranya pemuda itu juga tak sadar, sebab raut wajahnya kaget saat jempol itu usap pipinya dengan lembut. “Maaf, ya, Wooyo.”

Semudah itu untuk terbitkan senyum di wajah itu. Setidaknya, tak semustahil dulu.

Pemuda kecil beri anggukan kepala, “gak apa-apa, Mas,”

“Aku gak pernah risih sama kamu,”

Lagi, kepala itu mengangguk. “Tapi, aku gak boleh naksir sama Mas, ya? Cmiiw, ya, Mas. Cium me if I'm wrong.”

Ia ucapkan kalimat itu hanya untuk cairkan suasana di antara mereka yang sudah kelewat canggung. Namun, sepertinya, pemuda tinggi tangkap kalimat itu dengan serius, sebab selanjutnya, kuasa itu tangkup pipinya lantas daratkan kecupan pada bibirnya tanpa permisi.

“Mas, aku bercanda—umphh!”

Kecupan yang didaratkan tanpa pikir panjang itu berakhir menjadi ciuman yang cukup panas. San lumat bibir Wooyoung berkali-kali selagi tangan kekarnya melingkar pada pinggang pemuda kecil, buat tubuh mereka yang lembab bersentuhan. Sejenak, berhasil Wooyoung imbangi kecupan demi kecupan yang San bubuhkan di atas bibirnya, sebelum akhirnya pemuda tinggi lebih dulu tarik diri, sisakan pemuda kecil yang pejamkan mata bersama juntaian bekas saliva di ujung bibirnya.

“You can't just decide someone's sexuality however you want, Wooyo.”

Wooyoung tak benar-benar mendengarkan, ditariknya pundak lebar milik San, berusaha buat wajah mereka kembali berdekatan. “Mau cium lagi, Mas.”

“Kopinya keburu dingin, Wooyo,”

“Gak apa-apa, nanti aku bikinin yang baru,”

“Nanti lagi,”

“Then, what are we?”

Yang lebih tinggi lantas terdiam.

“Mas kissed me without my consent, aku bisa laporin polisi!”

Kedua alis itu terangkat, tak mengerti apa yang salah dengan pemuda kecil yang tiba-tiba lemparkan keluhan usai ciuman yang ia tahu mereka berdua sama-sama menikmati.

“Are you okay with dating first?”

“Hah? What do you mean by okay with dating first? Of course, I'm okay! Jangan bilang mas mau langsung ngajak nikah?!”

“Is that a bad idea?”

Pemuda kecil tertawa. Dikalungkannya kedua lengannya ke leher pemuda tinggi, lantas dekatkan hidung mereka. “Not really. Kita nikah kalau aku udah lulus kuliah, ya? Sekarang pacaran aja dulu.”

Oleh yang lebih tua, dibalasnya kalimat itu dengan senyum manisnya. Dilingkarkannya lengannya di pinggang pemuda kecil, lantas lanjutkan ciuman mereka ke babak kedua. Tak lagi peduli pada hujan di luar jendela, lupakan lantai yang basah, bahkan anggurkan kopi yang mulai lenyap kepulan asapnya.

Would love to hear people’s reason in the notes!

(I’ve put Eunseom and Saya separate but Hyunwoo and Dojun together cos the later two are technically supposed to be the same person? Even though it’s not clear)

Cha Joowan and Ki Hyunwoo at Seoul Fashion Week 2025 Spring/Summer (September 7, 2024)

[apcomplexhq]

RETORNO DIVINO: “WHIP-WHIPLASH”!

Enquanto as decorações e aparelhos são desmontados, o ar denso que cercava o condomínio na noite do dia das bruxas também ameniza, trazendo consigo uma grandiosa sensação de leveza. A vela e o livro amaldiçoado foram retirados da mansão assombrada de Mount Olympus, pelo simples intuito de evitar que algum adolescente intrometido traga, outra vez, as filhas de Hades e as almas perdidas para o mundo dos mortais.

Artemis e Demeter se livram das possessões e voltam a ter poder sobre o ambiente gregoriano, fazendo uma grande ronda por cada bloco a fim de terem certeza de que o condomínio estava são e salvo outra vez.

AVISOS E AGRADECIMENTOS!

Como mencionamos lá no post inicial deste evento de halloween, nós fizemos alguns ajustes em dinâmicas, tempo de atividades e, até mesmo, na duração dele de acordo com os feedbacks que foram deixados pelos players para nós em alguns formulários que disponibilizamos. E, dessa vez, convidamos vocês a dizer o que acharam não apenas desse evento, mas também estamos abertas a escutar suas demais opiniões em relação à comunidade!

São perguntas opcionais, então pode responder apenas o que você gostaria, mesmo os que já tenham respondido ano passado, sintam-se à vontade para atualizarem caso alguma opinião tenha mudado ou possua alguma proposta para nós.

A Acropolis se encontra em um período de mudanças, então várias coisinhas ainda serão adaptadas de acordo com os vários feedbacks de vocês e faremos diversos testes de coisas diferentes (como, por exemplo, aquele canal de prompts que liberamos esse mês), mas em passos de tartaruga, pois somos lentinhas.

Inclusive, gostaria de aproveitar a deixa para pedir a vocês mais uma vez que entrem no nosso SERVIDOR DE DM’s, para participar dos grupos de estabelecimentos, clubes e, especialmente os de moradia! Estamos planejando um eventinho já tem um tempo, pois ele ia acontecer no mesmo dia em que o maldito do Xwitter foi de aleluia, então após discutirmos bastante resolvemos realocá-lo para metade de novembro e início de dezembro. Terá todo aquele esqueminha de coleta de pontos e prometemos que será o último evento maiorzinho deste ano (ainda teremos eventinhos, só que mais simples)!

✦ FORMULÁRIO DE FEEDBACK. ✦ FORMULÁRIO DE SUGESTÕES DE EVENTOS.

E, por último, mas não menos importante, queremos deixar um agradecimento ENORME para todo mundo que interagiu nem que seja apenas um pouco com os eventos, plotdrops, dinâmica, fofocas, os filminhos… É mesmo muito importante pra nós ver tudo isso, claro que em algumas situações iríamos adorar ver bem mais personagens do que apareceram, mas não é como se isso nos desanimasse, muito pelo contrário, só ficamos ainda mais determinadas em buscar fazer algo que incentive mais gente a participar e caso alguém tenha sugestão, estaremos dispostas a ouvir!

Aliás, deixo aqui o lembrete de que a TASK OBRIGATÓRIA deve ser entregue por todos os personagens que já estavam na comunidade no dia 15/10! O prazo para postagem do selfpara é até o dia 15 de novembro, às 23:59, não esqueçam.

— Um cheiro divino, Artemis e Demeter. 💜💛

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ˙ ˖ ✘ . . . HI, HELLO, MY NAME IS WHAT YOU WANT IT TO !

ZOMBIE POP (KR: 방랑벽) is a seven membered joint boy group under STARBORN CREATIVE and CULT CREATIVE. They debuted originally with seven members, each one representing a deadly sin and woth medium popularity. However, fans soon noticed the uncanny resemblance between the group and their predecessor from STARBORN CREATIVE, TWILIGHT ZONE — a boy group that debuted back in 2010 and disbanded in 2016 after rumors of fighting and bullying within the group, which turned out to be true.

In 2019, only a few months after their initial debut, member CHANGWOO suddenly left the group and was replaced with a new member, NOIR. There was no explanation for the sudden change, but many fans speculated that there was fighting and bullying within the group again.

To this day, ZOMBIE POP is known for their sound and concept, as well as for being "the main visuals in kpop."

Soobin, Jessi, Mark, B.M, Sehun, Kai, Tao, Lisa, Jennie, Jeongin, Leedo, BamBam, Jay B, Vernon, Lee Know, Jungkook, Namjoon, and Yuta burst through the door startling Cora. They looked shaken.

    "What is it?" Cora asked worriedly. They ushered her upstairs in a rush.

   "Halazia attacked and are basically making humans their pets. Halazia is giving those assholes a taste of their own medicine. You don't need to be caught up in that when you've helped so many of us and tried helping many more." Namjoon said.

    Suddenly the door slammed open. "Smells like human and hybrid. This human must have quite the collection of pets."

     "Wonder how the bastard is going to like being one of our pets." Another laughed maniacally.

"Shit!" Yuta cursed.

"Those are the Kings of Halazia themselves!" Soobin told the human.

~ ~ ~   ~ ~ ~

The Kings better known as ATEEZ scoured the floor level.

  Yunho surprisingly found the adoption papers with a permission slip for everyone of the hybrids there to be able to work as well as their own bank accounts and everything. "Hey guys! Come here!"

   As soon as they walked into the little office they saw several pictures of multiple hybrids smiling happily with a gorgeous human girl. Wooyoung and Seongwha weren't about to fall for this human's trick. In fact Wooyoung and Seongwha went upstairs to find her.

   "We will protect you, Cora." A voice said.

   "You saved us when you didn't have to. Most of us would be dead if not for you." A second voice said.

  "You are our saving grace. Our family. You protect us provide us with a home and freedom and we will always protect you." Said a third.

   "I love you guys so much! You're the best family a girl could have!" A female voice replied.

The two hybrids smirked before storming into the room. Luckily for them the girl was just in front of them so Wooyoung grabbed her wrist harshly taking her down with them.

"Get back here assholes!" All the hybrids screamed after them before following.

  "Here she is, Captain." Wooyoung said pushing her into the dragon hybrid.

    "What's a human doing all the way out here anyway? Shouldn't you be in the town with the other humans?" The dragon asked as he held her in front of him.

    "Why would she? She's the only good human in this rotten town.She saw how our previous owners treated us and she had a fortune as well as this house from her deceased father." Jay B said as they all made their way towards them.

"She was a sympathizer. Here in this little fucked up place that's as good as being a hybrid.The only reason they don't bother us is not only because we live out here but her family is very well respected." Lisa said as Vernon snatched her back. Cora was slightly shaken and nuzzled into the Rottweiler's chest. That caused the Kings to let out dangerous growls.

  They growled back fiercely ready to protect their girl at any cost. San pushed a hidden button on his ear ring which led to a large group coming in and surrounding them as Mingi stalked up to Vernon and yanking Cora into his chest.

    "What's going to happen to them? They won't be punished for trying to protect me will they?" She looked up at Mingi with scared eyes terrified for her family.

"They'll be fine but you're coming with us." Mingi led her outside and to the car pulling her into his lap. She stiffened not daring to move. He rubbed circles into her hips as she slowly relaxed in his hold. She soon fell asleep.

~ ~ ~   ~ ~ ~   ~ ~ ~

   "She is very concerned about those hybrids. She didn't ask what was going to happen to her but wanted to make sure they weren't in trouble for protecting her." Mingi reported after leaving her in her new room with the door locked.

  San decided he liked the girl and she smelled amazing so he went into her room relocking the door before cuddling with her. About an hour later Seongwha and Wooyoung stormed angrily into her room waking both San and Cora as Seongwha yanked her to him roughly as Wooyoung gently but forcefully grabbed San. Cora tried pulling away from the harsh grip causing Seongwha to tighten his grip more. She whimpered from the harshness of his hold on her wrist.

  "Stop hurting her! She was literally just sleeping! If we hurt her for no reason how are we better than the humans we overtake?" San demands.

    "What's going on here?" Yeosang and Yunho walked in the room. Yunho saw the grip Seongwha had on the girl and her pained face. "What happened?"

  "I came to her room to cuddle and took a nap with her. We were asleep until these two barged in yanking us out of bed. Seongwha is hurting her she tried getting her hand out of his painful grip but of course he seems to think that means he needs to tighten his grip instead of loosen it." San said glaring at Seongwha as he spoke.

  "Let her go." Yunho orders.

   "Come over here, sweetness. Yeosang ordered when Seongwha finally released her. She timidly walked up to him as soon as she was within reach he pulled her to his chest running his fingers through her hair and pushing her face into the crook of his neck. She calmed instantly. After seeing her with the Rottweiler he realized she had hybrid behavior so she wasn't like those other humans. He also did his research about what that Persian cat hybrid had said about her family. He had gone to give Hongjoong and Mingi the news when he ran into Yunho and they heard the commotion.

   He wrapped his arms around her and went to the Captain's office with her to hand them the files.

   "Oh she's up." Hongjoong said surprised.

   "Yeah awoken harshly and with a bruised wrist curtesy of Seongwha. San was in there napping and cuddling with her when him and Wooyoung barged in. Yunho and I caught them. I was on my way here to give you guys this. The Persian wasn't lying." Yeosang replied.

  "JaeBeom isn't one to lie. I was a sympathizer which was the worst offense in the town. I had to buy them so those horrible people couldn't hurt them anymore. You saw the paper work for the guys I'm guessing. That was the only way they could be free. I'm not their owner I'm their sister." She said glancing at the hybrids.

  Hongjoong gave her a small smile which she shyly returned.

  "Cute." Mingi and Yeosang whispered. Yeosang pushed her towards Hongjoong watching her with a reassuring look. When she stood next to his desk he pulled her into his lap much to her surprise.

    "Lucas and the others mentioned you guys were going to make humans your pets and give them a taste of their own medicine. Does that mean they will get their old owners as their pets?" She asked. The boys laughed at how excited she sounded at the thought.

"Would you like to see what that would do to them, Cora?" Mingi asked.

  "I would love to see what they'd do. I'm sure whatever they would do is long overdue for those horrible people." She had a look of disgust on her face.

They laughed.

"Why don't we go get your little family so you can see them get their pets, hm?" Mingi asked.

  "Can we?" She asked excitedly.

   "Of course. It'll just be us and San going though. Mingi, go get him and meet us in the car would you?" Hongjoong asked leading Cora and Yeosang out. He took them to the car and gave her to Yeosang who happily pulled her onto his lap. She blushed causing the hybrids to chuckle fondly as the last two hybrids entered the car.

***Later***

They pulled up and as soon as they got out she was tackled by many hybrids.

“Can’t breathe! You guys weigh as much as an elephant! Get off fatasses!”She chokes in an exaggerated fashion. “Puh-lease. Knock it off bitch.” Jessi laughed. They got up helping a pouty Cora up.

“What are you guys doing here?” Yuta asked.

“Our cute little human wanted to see you guys get your pets. She’s very excited about it honestly. “ San said grinning at her.

“Don’t treat her like the others. She has enough shit she’s had to go through because of her family and other people. If there was ever a human alive who knew just how cruel humans can be it’s her. Just because we were the only ones she had doesn’t mean she didn’t try to save the others too.” Lucas told them.

“Wooyoung and Seongwha are the only ones going out of their way to hurt her. They most likely think she’s putting on some sort of an act and they refuse to fall for it.” Mingi sighed.

They watched as Cora joked around with her family and even managed to make Hongjoong smile and Yeosang laugh. Soon enough they picked their old owners as their pets. Cora looked on with an evil glint in her eyes.

“Let’s hope they show you more mercy than you have them. Honestly, I’m praying that you face the same shit they did. I’d do worst if I was them.” She spat bitterly.

They whisked her back to the limo where she was cuddling in Hongjoong’s lap.

Meanwhile….

Wooyoung went through her stuff at the house. He found a picture of them when they were younger. This was his noona. His Dove. He had to apologize. He grabbed the photos and stuffed them in his backpack. When he got home and saw they were there he ran to the living room.

“Dove-noona.” He whispered. “Youngie?” She turned around only to be engulfed in a hug by a sobbing Wooyoung.

“I’m so sorry, noona. I’m sorry I hurt you. I’m sorry I didn’t recognize you. I missed you so much. After seeing him beat you I thought he’d killed you. I’ve held such a hatred for humanity ever since.” He said. “I’m so glad you’re okay! I never forgot you. After you disappeared I knew I had to do something for the hybrids in town and they became my family.”She just snuggled into Wooyoung’s arms so happy to have home back.

“She’s the girl you always talked about? How do you know?” Seongwha asked. He pulled out the pictures.

“You were trying to find something criminal about me weren’t you, Youngie? You and Seongwha have been thinking I was acting this whole time right? That’s why you’ve been so hostile. You wanted me to be a villain.”

“I’m sorry, Dove. But I’m so glad I did. Otherwise I never would’ve known it was you.”

“I’m also sorry for hurting you. I know now that you really are as sincere as you seem. It’s a pleasure to meet Woo’s Dove.” He smiled.

“And we didn’t take you to be our pet either. We took you cause you are ours.” Mingi said. “Color me confused. What do you mean?” She asked.

“You’re our mate.” San responds taking her from Wooyoung and pulling her into his chest nuzzling into her neck. “But, you’re all mates and Wooyoung and Seongwha hated me? That makes no sense.”

“They wanted you too. They just didn’t want to want you which was why they wanted you to be acting like you were a good person. When your Rottweiler friend took you back we all growled. We didn’t want anyone else touching you.” Yunho said. “Well that was not a response I was expecting. But, they are my family. We made our own pack. My dad died when I was 16 and I’ve been with them since. So I already act more like a hybrid half the time.” She explained. Jongho and Yeosang took her to their room and cuddled getting to know each other.

“So you guys like to sing too.”
