To say that things had changed after your rendezvous backstage would be an understatement.

You were still the luckiest person in the world, able to call Jennie Kim your girlfriend, but now the number of Kims you were involved with had doubled.

At first, you had assumed it would simply be a one-off. That from Jennie to Jisoo to yourself, you had all gotten carried away in the heat of the moment and let your primal urges get the best of you. On top of that, you didn't think it was something Jennie would want to do again, though the whole experience had shown you a new side of her that you weren't utterly opposed to.

Therefore, one could imagine your surprise when you returned home one evening to find Jennie and Jisoo waiting at your apartment for you.

As it would turn out, Jisoo was too shy to reach out to you on her own, or at least with you present, but she had been hoping that you could have another experience together. And contrary to your previous belief, Jennie approved of it. Encouraged it even, much to your surprise. Though when those two women were looking back at you, proposing a dynamic between the three of you, it was damn near impossible to find a complaint.

From that point on, it was like a new beginning for the three of you, but little did you know, your journey wasn't at its fairy tale ending just yet.

A loud, guttural moan echoed in the residence of South Korean superstars Blackpink. The source of the sound was none other than the visual of the group Kim Jisoo.   

During your first encounter backstage, she had been trying her best to muffle her sounds and minimize the risk of discovery. It didn't take long for you to realize that when that risk was removed Jisoo was quite the vocal lover. And in a completely different manner than her bandmate.  

Jennie was vulgar, expletive, and above all else a master at the art of talking dirty. Jisoo on the other hand was loud in the sense that you would know when she was enjoying herself. Moans, whimpers, gasps, pleas for more; what she lacked in vulgar vocabulary she more than made up for in all the sounds she made. 

As evidenced now as she cried out when you began to fuck her with a more rapid pace.  

She had started on her hands and knees but as the session progressed her posture steadily changed to the point where her head was now buried against the mattress; her ass poised in the air and ripe for the taking. It was the perfect position for you to pound into her, your cock spreading her open each time you re-entered her. 

Normally Jennie would be here with you but seeing as she had a scheduled photoshoot to attend and no one else was around you had decided to entertain yourselves. It had taken some trust building to get to this point, where you could be on your own or Jennie could be with her, and you didn't have to worry about anyone getting jealous. But now that you had there was no turning back.  

"You're so fucking tight" you grunted, sweat glistening off of both of your bodies, proof to how long you had been at it. "Are you close? Are you going to cum on my cock, Jisoo?" 

Needless to say, Jennie's vulgar habits had been rubbing off on you in recent weeks. 

She opened her mouth to respond but words failed her.  In the end it didn't matter as her body spoke for her. You felt the familiar sensation of her walls tightening around your length, her body trembling as her orgasm washed over her like a tidal wave.  It was both a feeling and sight you didn't think you'd ever get tired of. 

It didn't take much longer after that for you to reach your own peak; hips rocking against hers and fingers digging into her waist. Obscenities left you as you leaned into her, emptying yourself into her womb. It may not have come with the filthy encouragement of your girlfriend, but it was no less satisfying. 

You had found that one of the handful of differences between Jennie and Jisoo was in the aftermath of sex. Jennie preferred to bask in the afterglow, more often than not leading to a second or even third round of action. Jisoo on the other hand was much more subdued. She preferred to unwind and partake in aftercare. Not surprising considering how rough she liked things to be during sex.  

"You know when Jennie finds out about this, she's going to demand we treat her" you commented as a slipped out of Jisoo, pressing a kiss to her back before falling onto the bed beside her.  

"Is that a bad thing?" she questioned, brow raised as she lowered herself onto the bed, turning her head to look over at you with the hint of a grin on her features.  

“Not exactly.” you couldn't help but chuckle because she was right. If anything, it just meant the night would be a busy one.  

Before you could continue the conversation any further, the sound of the front door opening and closing echoed throughout the house.

"Speak of the devil,” you remarked.

"She's finished early," Jisoo noted, slightly confused.

"Maybe her sixth sense was tingling," you joked.

While there was a grin on your face at the prospect of Jennie being home, Jisoo didn't share your same amusement. Instead her head rose slightly as curiosity and concern marred her features. It turned out that her instincts were right as a voice soon rang out.

"Unnie? Are you home?"

"Shi — "

The immediate reaction was nearly comical. You jumped out of bed, searching for your clothes as Jisoo scrambled as well. Though you hadn't had many interactions with Chaeyoung, better known as Rose, due to trying to keep things a secret, you had heard her voice enough times to recognize it as hers.

In the end, you only managed to gather your clothes in your arms before Jisoo shoved you into the closet. She herself had only managed to slip on a pair of shorts and a loose-fitting T-shirt. To any trained eye, the post-sex hair and aroma would be apparent, but there was no time to consider that as there was a knock on the door.

"Unnie?"

The question came before the door was opened, and a blonde head poked its way into her room. "Oh! I wasn't sure if you were home or not."

"Ah, y-yes. Yes, I'm here. I had an empty schedule today," Jisoo replied nervously, brushing sweat-ridden bangs from her forehead. "I, uh, I actually just got back from the gym."

Internally, you groaned. She didn't remain quite as composed as her counterpart would in this situation. You just hoped she'd be able to get rid of Rose soon, lest you be stuck in here all day. It was a hope that was slightly dashed as she opened the door further and allowed herself into the room. Before you could come up with any further complaints, however, your thoughts were quickly silenced by Rose coming into picture. You found yourself leaning forward to get a better view through the slants in the closet door.

She wore a black crop top complemented by form-fitting track pants. When she laid herself on the bed, you weren’t concerned with whether she would get a scent of sex that had recently stained the sheets but instead thinking how perfect her ass looked as it was unknowingly pointed in your direction. 

You became less interested in the idle conversation that she and Jisoo began to have and more lost in the fantasies that began to plague your mind. The things you would do to her if given the opportunity. How she'd scream your name as you drove her to orgasm. It was clear to you then that your greed knew no bounds. But despite your cock reacting to the thoughts running through your head, you knew they were just that, thoughts that would never come to fruition.

Fortunately, you had enough self-restraint not to begin jerking off right there in the closet, and after what seemed like a lifetime, Jisoo finally managed to get her to leave with the excuse that she needed to use the shower having been to the gym.

The door closed as she saw Rose off, and there was a pause before you heard footsteps walking towards the closet. Jisoo opened the closet and immediately looked at you with a bewildered expression.

"You're still naked?!"

"...Yes?" you answered sheepishly.

"Get dressed please! This might be your only chance to leave without running into her," Jisoo exclaimed.

Deciding this wasn't the time for jokes, you obeyed her request. Had you been with Jennie, the situation might have been different; you could imagine her coming up with some kind of plot. But Jisoo wasn't so bold. Not yet, at least.

"I'm going to go take a shower, so she doesn't get suspicious. Let yourself out quietly."

You nodded affirmatively, but not before sneaking a kiss that drew a slight smile from the Blackpink visual. With no further instruction, she pushed you on your way, heading down the opposite end of the hallway towards the bathroom. Now that you were seemingly out of the woods, you could reflect on the situation with a bit of amusement. It seemed with each meeting, Jisoo was getting more and more comfortable with her sexuality and your relationship. On top of that, you had gotten a peek at some eye candy when Chaeyoung came to visit her.

You were grateful that she hadn't caught you in the act, but there was no denying that the idea of going to town on that petite body was a tantalizing one. Unfortunately for you, you'd have to content yourself with your fantasies for now.

You slipped out of the house without further incident, unaware of the watchful gaze of a certain petite blonde.

Due to their busy schedules, it was a while before you were able to catch up with Jennie or Jisoo in person again. And while sexting and Facetimes were great, they could never compete with the physical thing.

So, when you finally did get an invitation from Jennie to come over, needless to say, you dropped everything to make yourself available for her. Maybe if you were lucky, you'd even be rewarded after a long wait with a threesome.

"Jennie? Jisoo?" you called out when you arrived at the house. In her message, she was clear that no one else would be around, so you didn't feel shy about making yourself known, especially if Lisa and Rose weren't around.

Instead of a response, though, you got silence. Was she waiting in the bedroom for you? Maybe with a special surprise.

"They're not here."

To say the voice that came from behind you made you jump out of your skin would be an understatement. You nearly jumped through the damn roof! You turned around, heart beating a million miles an hour, to see one of the two people you had been told wouldn't be there. Uh-oh.

Chaeyoung, or Rose or Rosie, depending on who you were, was standing on the other side of the living room, looking decidedly unsurprised and nonplussed about a strange man being in her home. In fact, if anything, she looked like she had been expecting you.

"Uh, hi. I can explain. I don't think we've met — "

"I know who you are," Rosie cut you off.

Oh, no.

With Jennie, you could often read her as being in control or mischievous. Jisoo was often meek and eager. But looking at Rosie, you didn't know what to think. Was she angry and about to out your whole relationship to the public? No, surely, she'd never do that to her bandmates. Maybe she was just going to ban you from ever seeing them again. Whatever the case, she seemed content to let you squirm, her arms crossed over her small chest.

"And I know what you've been doing. Did you really think Jisoo would be able to keep a secret like that?"

You opened your mouth, but no words came out. You guessed it had been rather naïve to think that one of you wouldn't eventually slip up, and that Jisoo was the weakest link. Then again, you weren't exactly innocent with your impromptu encounters while other members were still in the house. You justified it by saying the risk made it that much more exciting, but this was the downside: when you got caught.

"If it makes you feel better, she didn't crack right away when I asked her if you two were fucking. But she has these certain tells when she's lying — they give her away every time" Rose explained. "She told me about you and Jennie which — wow I didn't even know that part." 

As she continued to talk, your immediate fear began to subside. It didn't seem like Rosie was here to expose you. In fact, the more she talked the less angry she seemed and more like she was criticizing your tactics. Which still left you questioning what exactly her goal was.  

Now that your mind wasn't racing, it also gave you a chance to look the idol over. She was wearing another one of her sports bras, and you could already feel a tingling in your loins just at the sight of it. This time instead of wearing track pants, she was wearing running shorts. The kind that came up right to her ass, in fact, you were pretty sure if she turned around you'd see some cheek. It was a lazy, around-the-house type of outfit and yet it showed off her body and slim waist perfectly.

Christ, every girl in this group was a killer.

Honestly, it made you wonder if the reason Jennie was often so willing to share was because she recognized how hot her own roommates were. When you had that first run-in with Jisoo, she had alluded to a past with her that piqued your interest.

You couldn't help but wonder if she had a similar history with Rose, but from the way she was rambling on, it didn't seem like it.

"Take off your pants."

"Uh, excuse me?"

Her sudden demand was enough to break you from your thoughts and look at her in utter confusion. Rosie, however, didn't share your confusion and was looking at you with an expectant gaze, one hand on her hip.

"Were you listening to anything I said? Take off your pants."

You were a little afraid to admit that you hadn't, in fact, been listening to anything she had said and were instead admiring her body the whole time. Rosie seemed like she wanted to be in control, and if you didn't listen, you couldn't help but feel like some sort of punishment was coming. "Alright, alright."

You followed her orders, taking off your pants as she instructed. It was somewhat surreal. Between Jisoo and even Jennie, who could be quite demanding when she got in the mood, you had never been ordered around in this way. And the fact that it was Rosie who was the one doing it was even more surreal. You never would have guessed. Maybe that was why you found yourself getting aroused despite her harsh words.

"Those too," Rosie gestured dismissively at the striped boxers you stood in.

You would have questioned if she was serious, but the expectant look on her face was all the answer you needed to make short work of your last piece of clothing. You couldn't remember the last time you were self-conscious while nude, and yet you were anxiously awaiting Rose's judgment as you stood before her.

"She wasn't lying..." Rose muttered under her breath.

Her voice had lost the commanding edge it had up to this point, almost sounding somewhat shocked.

"What was that?" you asked.

"W-what?" Rose blinked as if shaken from a trance. "N-nothing! Shut up! Or else!"

"Alright, alright, sorry! I was just asking."

You shifted your stance slightly, trying to get comfortable. It was a new sensation. Standing there, now fully nude, and under Rosie's scrutinizing gaze. It didn't help that she seemed particularly transfixed on your cock as she contemplated her words. Part of you was wondering if she had thought this all the way through. She certainly didn't take charge the way Jennie did, but in fear of her lashing out again, you kept any further questions to yourself.

"Here's what's going to happen," Rose started. Her voice still lacked a certain confidence, but you were curious where she was going with this. "You're going to get on your knees. If you can satisfy me, then I'll keep the secret you have with Jennie and Jisoo."

"And if I don't?"

"Then I'll tell everyone."

You swallowed hard at that threat. A part of you wanted to call her on her bluff. You still doubted she'd publicly tarnish her friend's careers. But there were other steps she could take just short of that. Still, there was another motivating factor that was stronger than Chaeyoung's threat: you wanted to succeed. You wanted to feel Chaeyoung’s thighs clenching around your head as she came. Most importantly, you wanted to show her that she didn’t have to be jealous of Jennie and Jisoo.

"Well, when you say it like that, it doesn't sound like I have much of a choice..." you said.

"You don't," she emphasized.

From the curt way she snapped a response, you could tell that Rose was regaining her previous composure and feeling more confident about her position. Good. That worked perfectly for your plan and would make her eventual downfall even sweeter. For now, you'd continue to play the role she expected of you.

"A-alright. Just, you promise not to tell anyone about any of this?" you questioned one last time.

"Really?" Chaeyoung blinked at first, as if not expecting you to submit. She quickly recovered. "I mean, that depends on how well you perform."

"Okay..." You continued to play the role of someone who was defeated despite internally brimming with confidence. "So, where do you want to do this?"

"The living room."

"Out in the open?" Your voice held a surprised tone.

"Yes, out in the open. Right where one of your girlfriends might catch you," Rosie replied.

You didn't know for sure, but you could have sworn there was a hint of jealousy in her voice when she said that.

"Alright," you conceded, not putting up a fight again. "If that's what you want. Though you'll have to get out of those."

You gestured to the clothes she was still wearing. She still had on her sports bra and running shorts. And while you could still work with the sports bra, you'd have to get rid of those shorts to do what she wanted you to do. Pointing it out also made you acutely aware of your own nudity which you now realized must have been purely for her own curiosity or some kind of domination play by her.

Chaeyoung gave you an annoyed look, displeased that you had pointed out something she had forgotten. This time, though, she didn't chastise you, instead merely hooking her fingers into the waistband of the shorts and pulling them down her long legs. The reveal showed that she wasn't wearing any panties underneath. You smirked, wondering just how long she had planned for this moment to happen.

"What's that look for?" Chaeyoung snapped.

"Oh, nothing."

"You probably think this will be easy because you already seduced Jisoo and Jennie, don't you?" she taunted.

"Well, I haven’t heard any complaints so far. I think I’m more than capable," you admitted.

Your smug response seemed to work as intended. Chaeyoung’s pretty face scrunched up in irritation. Without further comment, Chaeyoung moved to the sofa, seating herself in it and reclining back. As she did so, she spread her legs, exposing her pussy to your sight for the first time. Your heart skipped a beat, cock instinctively stirring to life in response. The singer didn't have to tell you to get on your knees as you did so of your own volition, if only to get closer to paradise.

"You're already wet for me," you noted, almost in a trance.

"S-shut up!" Chaeyoung snapped again, a hint of embarrassment in her tone as her cheeks turned crimson. Still, she didn't deny it. Instead, she tried to regain her position of power in the situation, "I suggest you get to work if you want to finish before the others get back."

You briefly wondered if she had considered the outcome where you wanted Jennie and Jisoo to discover you. While she might be initially annoyed at Chaeyoung's antics of going behind her back, you could see Jennie ultimately finding joy in this new discovery. She might even take it upon herself to initiate her bandmate into your little relationship. Jisoo might be the only one who wouldn't want this to be discovered. Or at least, not her part in being the one to spill the beans to Rosie in the first place. That would undoubtedly earn her another punishment from Jennie.

Stowing that thought aside for the moment, you returned to the task at hand. You would have Chaeyoung spraying on your tongue, and then there would be a world of potential.

You leaned closer to her sex, swallowing a comment asking if she had shaved just for you. That was likely to rile her up even more than she already was. Instead, you ran your tongue along her outer folds. Her scent was strong, the taste of her juices already beginning to fill your senses. A moan left the blonde, one hand moving to press against the back of your head.

You continued to tease her, tongue tracing around her inner walls, occasionally prodding deeper inside of her. She let out a sharp gasp each time, her body arching. Her hips rolled towards you, seeking out more.

"S-stop teasing..." she groaned.

You grinned, "I'm just doing what you asked."

"D-Don't be a smartass!" Rosie snapped.

She pushed your head back into her crotch, and you returned to the task with an air of smugness. It was really too easy to rile her up. You sucked at her clit, intent on giving Chaeyoung your full attention now. If she wanted you to stop teasing, then you'd give her the best orgasm she'd ever experienced.

You felt her nails digging into your scalp, a moan leaving her. The hand pressing against your head pushed and pulled, her hips rocking in sync with the actions. She was moaning openly now, no attempt at hiding what was occurring. Given she was the one who wanted this to be in the living room, you shouldn't have been too surprised. Though you did wonder if Chaeyoung had an exhibitionist streak to her.

As you continued to eat her out, her hand moved under her top, squeezing her breast. "That's right. T-this is all you're good for. You're just h-here for us to use -- fuck -- use you as we want, you understand?"

"Mmhm," you moaned against her pussy, the vibrations making her gasp.

She didn't quite have the same amount of conviction that Jennie had when it came to such derogatory bedroom talk, but there was potential there. Besides, you were already horny enough to humor her without calling out the stutters she made.

You were starting to realize that there was a bit of an underlying fantasy at play here. Chaeyoung was enjoying the domination aspect of this, but there was another part that was playing in her mind. One you would have no qualms playing along with. Usually so sweet and friendly, she was finally getting to live out her sexual fantasies as her fingers gripped your head tightly.

"I-I guess I see why Jennie likes you so much now," Chaeyoung moaned. "With that kind of tongue... And Jisoo too. I bet y-you're just their obedient pet."

If only she knew the truth, you thought.

You didn't respond verbally but instead redoubled your efforts, your tongue working at her clit with a new vigor. Your fingers joined in the orchestra, slipping two digits inside of her to further push her towards that precipice. You could hear her breathing becoming shallower, the telltale signs that she was getting closer. Rosie seemed to realize it as well as you felt her fingers claw against your skull, almost trying to push your mouth off of her sex.

"N-no, wait, it's too soon," she moaned, despite her hips bucking into your mouth.

But it was too late. You had the advantage and you weren't going to let it go. Not until every muscle in her tight, lithe body went limp from a mind-numbing orgasm.

"Fuck," Chaeyoung stuttered, "fuck you. Cheating...bastard..."

You had never heard the singer be quite that vulgar before and took it as a small victory. You were just giving her what she wanted. It just so happened it had been more than what she could take and as her body shuddered she knew she was losing control of the situation.

As far as you were concerned, you had played this fair and square.

"Oh god!" she gasped, thighs locking around your head as her hips bucked, riding your face.

Her juices flooded your mouth as she rode out the wave of pleasure brought on by her orgasm. Her body quaked on the sofa, her nails digging into your skull as she held your hair tighter than before. Had you not been lapping at her juices, you might've savored the sight. You stayed locked in that position for several moments, letting her ride out the aftershocks. It was only when you felt her body go limp that you finally pulled your head back.

The look on your face was nothing short of shit-eating smugness. Who could blame you? The arrogant woman who had threatened to expose your relationship to the world sat utterly spent and dazed. Her thighs glistened with her release, her hand still shoved under her top lazily. Her head reclined against the cushions, a glazed over haze in her eyes as her chest rose and fell with rapid breaths.

Looking at her like this, you couldn't help but feel proud and accomplished. Especially considering how haughty Rosie had been trying to act leading up to this.

"You know, if you needed an orgasm so bad, all you had to do was ask," you teased. "I'm sure Jennie would be willing to share."

Chaeyoung only nodded dumbly, unable to maintain her bristling act that she had before nor comment in agreement. Your cock was aching between your legs, and the idea of splitting her in two until she screamed your name was enticing. However, that would have to wait.

"You should probably get dressed before they come back. Unless you want them to find out," you teased her before moving to gather your own clothing, your mission seemingly accomplished.

What followed next played out almost as you imagined. Naturally, you didn't keep the rendezvous a secret, informing Jennie of what had taken place during a long bath. After a punishment which involved a few ropes and a vibrator, she gave her consent to have Chaeyoung join your relationship. Jisoo, notably, remained silent during the whole ordeal. You'd make sure to tease her later and get something out of it, knowing that she was the one who had spilled the beans.

For now, though, life was good.

"You know," you said, as you lay in bed, your head resting on Jennie's lap as Jisoo and Rosie slept soundly on either side of you, "It might get a little awkward the three of you being involved in this with one excluded."

Jennie hummed in response, her fingers stroking through your hair, "Maybe you're right. We might have to change that."

Could u make a routine inspired by kazuha ?

How to live like kazuha ⋆𐙚.ೃ⊹🩰°｡𓏲⋆𖦹 🦢₊˚ kazuhaism routine

This is a guide on daily routines inspired by le sserafim’s Kazuha! thanks for the request, hope you enjoy it!!

content list (routines):

morning

study

workout

shower + self care

night

(_ _ ) . . z Z⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚୨ :★: ୧ ∗  ˖࣪ ໒꒱  ˚₊·

✸ ꒰ morning routine ꒱⋆ ࣪.* ࣪.⋆

🎀 Kazuha starts her days by getting straight out of bed! You can take a few minutes just to think about your dreams or to meditate but after you're done get up without thinking so you avoid lazyness. After, head to the bathroom to do your hygiene routine (washing your teeth, face, body, etc.)

After you do your skincare, it's time for makeup, if i had to describe Zuha’s makeup in a few words i would use ‘natural’ ‘light’ and ‘clean’, even tho she uses as many products as other idols I've already talked about (brow pencil, eyeshadow, base makeup, contour, lashes, eyeliner, blush and lip tint), her makeup still pretty much simple, like just to enhance her natural features.

🧸Time to get dressed, Kazuha usually wears tops or basic t-shirts with baggy sweatpants, the colors she wears the most are white, black and gray. stylize the outfit with a beret or sunglasses!

Finally for breakfast, a good option is to have a sandwich with coffee, however any recipe that includes a lot of veggies in it will be ideal! 

✸ ꒰ study routine ꒱⋆ ࣪.* ࣪.⋆

🩰 One of Zuha's favorite things is trying new things and showing progress! So always make sure to experiment with different study styles, techniques and resources. also, remember that progress is not about going from an F to an A, but about improving slowly and enjoying the path to your goals.

To learn and practice her Korean, Kazuha reviews vocabulary daily, using it on small phrases to memorize their meaning. As a visual learner, she also associates words with drawings and writes in her notebook often.

🥥 And to improve her English she usually practices talking with Yunjin. You can ask a friend to tutor you in any signature you feel you are lacking and make learning fun!

✸ ꒰ workout routine ꒱⋆ ࣪.* ࣪.⋆

🪷 Kazuha’s most famous charm is her healthy and beautiful body, as well as her flexibility. She workouts everyday in her dorm room, and has a lot of different workout routines, so I decided to make a schedule so you can try them all!

monday -> le sserafim workout (no jumps / low impact), Kazuha new abs workout and full body stretch.

tuesday -> le sserafim workout (short version), Kazuha upper body workout, stretch

wednesday -> le sserafim workout, Kazuha abs workout, stretch

thursday -> le sserafim workout, upper body workout, stretch

friday -> le sserafim workout, kazuha lower abs workout, stretch

saturday -> le sserafim (short), upper body, stretch

sunday -> le sserafim workout (no jumps / low impact), stretch 

🌷 Also, you can try and enroll in a ballet class, it's never too late to try!

✸ ꒰ shower + self care routine ꒱⋆ ࣪.* ࣪.⋆

Before taking your shower, take off your makeup with micellar water or an oil based cleanser. Then bath like you would normally do, but start your shower with lukewarm water and finish with a cold rinse!

🦢 Then use a soft foam cleanser to wash your face, let it air dry, and then use a gentle toner, calming ampoule and cream to set the moisture.

Now for self care, Zuha enjoys spending time doing diamond paintings or other kinds of diys, like decorating phone cases. She also videocalls her friends often in her free time, spending time with friends really helps with our mental health! You can also try and make little handmade gifts for your besties.

✸ ꒰ night routine ꒱⋆ ࣪.* ࣪.⋆

🐩 Dinner time! eat a yogurt bowl with nuts and honey (or any toppings you like) and eat it while watching youtube videos.

After eating she takes her journal and writes about her day and her emotions, she tries to be as concise as possible so no matter if she’s tired or doesn't have time she's still able to reflect on her day!

👛 Then she does her last review on the things she's studying, doing this before going to sleep helps you remember it better.

If she's with the members she will obviously watch a scary movie and have fun with her friends before going to bed!

💋 Finally stretch a little in your bed to be more flexible, have a better posture and to help you to fall asleep faster!

Good night!

Daily Check-in: July 26th, 2024 🎀

I did not have the greatest Friday. My workouts caused me some pain and frustration, I was so so tired, and I ended up getting late night eats with my roommate again. I also stressed about finances so hard that i couldn't fall asleep, and once I fell asleep, I kept waking up. Good times.

🩷 What I Accomplished

26 min of a lower body workout (did not enjoy and cut it early cause it was not it for me)

worked an 8.5 hour shift

left work at 2:59 and caught the bus at 3:03 (I ran to catch that bus omg)

wrote down korean vocabulary to study

figured out when to schedule my next italki lessons (just don't have the money to schedule them yet)

canceled a couple of subscriptions that aren't necessities given my financial situation

drank my electrolytes and felt better before my workout

💔 What Could've Gone Better

ate too much and too late at night

the workout was not fun, almost caused me to hurt my lower back, and made me nearly black out in the shower. I had to text my coach about switching up that workout as well as my split cause I was not having a good time with it

didn't take my night medication because I felt so full and stuffed after eating late

stressed so bad about my financial situation that I almost started crying. it's rough out here for me, money wise.

didn't get to video call my boyfriend before bed because it got too late

💗 Stuff For Saturday (July 27th)

108 days before HSK

yeah, the language learning process is.... going, for sure. I'm reading Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir in four languages.

I finished the English version a while ago but I just couldn't stop re-reading it so I went "might as well" and got the other language versions.

挽救计划 is the simplified character version of mandarin chinese and I'm making a huge progress. I mean I didn't know I could read that well in Chinese? I think I can finally get into Three Body Problem. Anyway, I've been reading and highlighting new vocabularies that I can understand from context but haven't encountered before. And then I just write them down in a vocabulary list while watching tv or something else.

極限返航 is the taiwanese madarin version and 프로젝트 헤일 메리 is the korean version. I haven't made a lot of progress in any of then because I got really into the simplified character version. I also looked for the japanese version but no dice. It's fine though. I'm focusing on Chinese these days anyway.

Thanks for reading! Criticism is welcomed and I hope my black and melanated girlies feel good reading this! 💜

~

Bare chest pressed against the door, hands held behind your back in his iron grip, you were in absolute heaven.

His hips were meeting your ass with swift motions, your knees close to buckling if not for his hold on you. He pounded in and out of your sopping pussy, the squelching noises not drowning out the whines that you were making against the wood of the door.

Sweat dripped down both of your bodies, making everything that much more wet and slick.

Hoseok’s hand came down harshly on your already aching ass. Even against the brownness of your skin, his hand print was visible. That’s how hard and often he had been striking you.

But you’d be lying if you said you didn’t love it. Rough Hoseok was the best. A welcomed contrast to the doting and sensible husband that you normally saw throughout the day.

Then again, you had crossed a line today. It was only a matter of time before the dam burst and Hoseok’s irritation spilled over into anger.

Normally soft touches were replaced by a tight grip on your wrists, kisses were replaced by bites that littered your throat and shoulders, and tender words were replaced by humiliation and degradation.

And each one made your cunt leak even more.

“You fucking slut. You thought that shit was cute?” He growled, yanking your wrists back harder so that your back arched further. The move caused your shoulders to ache but if anything, it just added to your already growing pleasure. You felt like you could cum at any moment but you knew you couldn’t. Not without permission. However, the anticipation of another punishment did sound appetizing.

Your mouth was dropped open, drool spilling from the sides, eyes crossing and toes curling in your stilettos.

Hoseok used his other hand to grab at the front of your throat, hauling you up until your back was against his chest, his hips never faltered.

“I asked you a fucking question.” He seethed against your ear.

You wanted to answer him so badly but his cock was knocking your vocabulary loose. All those years learning Korean were useless now. You couldn’t even answer was 1+1 was if someone asked you.

He obviously didn’t like your lack of response, pulling out of you which pulled a pitiful whine from you. Grabbing you by your hair, he forced you down on the ground, your knees hitting the hardwood. The impact hurt but you didn’t care, not when his leaking cock was just inches from your face.

He roughly tilted your head back so that your blurry eyes met his.

A smirk spread across his face at the vision before him. Your lipstick was smeared, the makeup had come off against the door when he pressed you against it—your lashes were wet from tears, your edges curling back up from where they were perfectly laid before, and your tongue out and begging for more.

Fuck.

“Since you can’t answer, I guess I’ll just have to put your mouth to good use.”

He wasted no time shoving his cock all the way down your throat. The sudden intrusion caused you to gag, your hands lifting to grab at his thighs, eyes watering and tears spilling down your cheeks.

Any other time, he’d punish you for touching him without permission but his orgasm was too close to really care right now.

Giving you no time to adjust, he began thrusting in and out of your throat, the loud ‘gluck gluck gluck’ sounds caused by your wet mouth building that pressure in his tummy.

You relaxed your throat, remembering all of the training you went through to be able to take him. With every thrust, you’d swallow and lick around his cock, trying your best to pleasure him.

He tossed his head back, a low groan coming from him. His hand gripped your hair even tighter, his abs tensing up. You blinked away your tears to get a good look at his face. You loved how he looked when absorbed by pleasure—that crease in his eyebrows, his sweaty hair sticking to his forehead, the way he pulled his lip between his teeth. You’d watch it all day if you had a chance.

“Shit, I’m cumming. Swallow all of it.”

Forcing his cock all the way down your throat so that your nose was pressed against the hair at the base of his cock, a shudder racked his body as he came. The spurts of his cum flowed down your throat and you did your best to swallow all of it down.

When he was done, he pulled back, chest heaving. His dark eyes stared down at you, his stare making you feel small and defenseless. Like a tiny deer in the view of a hungry lion.

You loved it.

He wasn’t gentle in his movements as he hauled you up by your hair. Your legs wobbled both from being on the ground and from the tingles that your denied orgasm sent through you.

A hard slap to your ass made you yelp, his hand leaving your hair to wrap around your neck. He pressed lightly into your windpipe—the brief lack of oxygen made your brain fuzzy, your knees shook slightly, almost ready to give up on you.

Pushing you against the door again, his hand found its way between your legs, swiping through your wetness. You moaned when his fingers grazed your pitiful clit, the bundle of nerves neglected and swollen.

Two fingers plunged into you, hooking and ramming into your sweet spot. A scream tore from your mouth, your hands reaching down to grab at his arm but apparently, he didn’t like that.

“Hands off!” He growled, jaw clenching. You were positive he felt how your walls tightened around him.

You hesitated but obeyed, moving your hands to brace yourself against the door. Once your hands met the wood, he began his pace again.

Your mouth dropped open again. “Ohhhhhhhh…..sh-sh-shiiittttt….” Your knees met each other, the pleasure becoming too much. Your entire body was alight and shaking from the sensations—his hand on your throat, the sting from your ass pressed against the door, and now the way he was jamming into your spot. You could have fainted

“Keep your legs open.” He ordered, dark eyes piercing yours.

What you weren’t expecting was for him to drop to his knees, his hand leaving your throat and allowing you to take a deep breath. You couldn’t even react before he was leaning forward to latch onto your clit. The feeling of his tongue combined with his fingers starting up again was just too much.

Knowing your body better than you sometimes, he could tell when you were about to cum. Your nails scratched against the door, your whines rose in pitch, and you began to hump against his face. You were an open book to him. He’s explored your body many times and for many hours to know exactly what made you tick.

He pulled away from your clit but his fingers didn’t stop. “Don’t you dare cum. If you do, you’ll regret it.”

You tried. You really tried so hard. And you knew he was being unfair. You both knew you weren’t going to be able to hold it.

Son of a bitch.

“I….I…c-c-can’t….I’m s-sorry…” That’s all you managed to stutter out before one more thrust of his fingers and a rub to your clit sent you over the edge. Your hands left the door to bury in his hair, trying to ground yourself.

2 rules broken within 5 seconds.

You were screwed.

You didn’t even have time to come down before his hand was back around your throat.

Pulling your face close to his, you could smell the gum he had chewed in the car along with the sponge cake he had at the small work gathering you two had attended.

His voice was calm as he spoke to you but for some reason, that made your stomach turn in anxiety.

“Go to the bedroom. Face down, ass up. I’m not done with you.”

File Name: The Hecate Project

Classification: Top Secret

Subject: 377

Background: Experiment #377, nicknamed Jungkook (Name provided on the birth certificate found in his chambers) is a classified research project initiated by the Cromwell Agency on September 1, 2023. The project is aimed at discovering the behaviors of this creature, the first hunted in almost two centuries, caught by the Cromwell Hunter Foundation.

The last subject, experiment #376, died due to the negligence of the hunters and scientists themselves.

The main objective of #377 is to find a way to make his DNA useful for operations under extreme and rigorous conditions. Including infiltration, night operations, and search for objects.

Among other objectives is the consideration of training the species for recruitment into the Cromwell Hunter Foundation.

Subject Profile

Code Name: Jungkook

Species: Homo Desmodus

Age: Appears in his 20s.

Physical characteristics: 5'10, aprox. 70kg, intensified senses, increased strength, agility, non-human flexibility, iris and cornea turn scarlet red after 6 o'clock.

Diet: Requires a minimum of 3.0 liters of human or animal blood to maintain physical abilities.

Intellectual Skills: Has the ability to communicate and understand two languages (Korean and English), knows how to read, write, and do basic mathematics.

Psychic abilities, such as controlling the mind. (On September 12, at 03:25 a.m., one of the scientists was found dead in the laboratory where 377 was located. The cameras show how a level 9 scientist, Göta Princeton, voluntarily takes the sedative given to Jungkook. The body was found by hunters Bronimir Ehmet and Máximo Felipe at 05:04 with 75% of its blood missing.

Additional Abilities: Can heal a wound of about 6.35mm in 1 second. Wounds that reach muscle or bone in 30 seconds. It can completely regenerate a limb in 36 hours.

Behaviors and conduct of the subject: The psychology department of the Cromwell Hunters has classified 377 as being quick to respond, conceited, and ribald (more notable towards the female sex). Good vocabulary and always looking for information. Aside from the incident with Dr. Göta Princeton, he has maintained good behavior when examined. Although, for precautionary reasons, he has been administered relaxants of about 20g every hour intramuscularly.

Security measures

Starting at dawn, the work area is kept under minimal light to reduce exposure and damage to the subject.

At least 6.5 liters of O-blood are required to be available in the area. For 377's diet and/or blood loss from one of the scientists.

To enter the subject's dome, an amount of about 25g of Lovatrim must first be administered and wait at least 45 minutes.

Note: Access to this file is restricted to personnel with Level 8 or higher security clearance. Unauthorized access will result in severe consequences.

Experiment #005 on Subject #377

Classification A

Background:

September 15, 2023. The Cromwell Hunter Foundation has chosen four candidates to do the seminal test. Two of the four candidates have died in the last 24 hours of entering the dome. One of the hunters refuses to enter, the last option has been trained for the project and has signed the assigned paperwork that gives Cromwell and Company complete autonomy in her decision to go inside the dome.

What appears on the following pages are the chronicles of the night of the 15th, from 8 p.m. to 3 a.m. The huntress meets 377 for the first time in the dome.

Jungkook's physical and mental behavior is different for the first time in the whole project. The eyes appear to be of a vibrant red.

For the first time we get a glance of the acicular canines.

What is a Gambeson ?

It’s a mystery.

Gambesons, also sometimes known as padded or quilted armor, are a type of protection usually made from at least two layers of linen, cotton or leather, with various types of batting sandwiched between the two.

Their use has spanned most of the world, from ancient Scythian horsemen in the Caucasus, to 17th century Europe, even seeing use in the Aztec empire and medieval African kingdoms.

In Europe, gambesons or aketons were initially used as a base layer on which a mail shirt was worn, but went on to be used independently by men-at-arms as a very cost-effective form of protection, in both cases being able to absorb blunt blows and stop projectile weapons.

Variants meant to be worn alone were known as padded jacks and were usually thicker and made of more layers of fabric, complemented with scrap textile or animal hair. These were somewhat vulnerable to draw cuts, and were extremely warm.

On the other hand arming doublets were meant to be worn under a plate harness, covering less of the neck and thighs but offering several attach points on which to lace the different segments of rigid armor, all the while preventing chaffing between the skin and the metal plates. As it evolved into the 15th century, these doublets also started to incorporate patches of maille of varying size called goussets or voiders, that were meant to protect the joints and otherwise vulnerable areas of a knight’s body.

Chain voiders on a linen pourpoint.

Something to take note of, is that lighter armors were occasionally sewn or attached directly to the gambeson, like in the above image. This was commonplace in Asian cultures where most maille and splint armor was sewn directly to thick silken sleeves.

Although the arming doublet was slowly replaced by jerkins and buffcoats in Western Europe, the concept of combining numerous layers of textile to produce armor never truly died. In Asia especially, both Japan and Mongolia have records of layered silk armor being used during the early modern era, and Korea even developed a padded cotton armor known as the Myeonje baegab for the express purpose of stopping bullets, which it did.

Korean bulletproof cotton armor, made c.1860′s

Related Vocabulary

Aketon: Another name for a gambeson based on the Arab for ‘the cotton’ through old French.

Buff coat: The most common type of protection replacing arming doublets in the 17th century, made of a single layer of thick suede leather.

Ichcahuipilli: Aztec quilted armor, Nahuatl for ‘cotton shirt’.

Arming points: reinforced spots on an arming doublet where the armor is attached.

Voiders: Chainmail sewn directly to a pourpoint styled gambeson, common in Europe from the 13th century onward.

Pourpoint: A longer European gambeson style used until the development of the arming doublet. It sometimes went all the way to the knees, and was commonly separated into two parts, sleeves and torso. Also the French word for doublet.

HABITS: head tilting / swaying / fidgeting / stuttering / gesturing / arm crossing / strokes chin / er, um, or other interjections (ok, like, uh, whistles, poetry/song lyrics/literary quotes) / plays with hair or clothing / hands at hips / inconsistent eye contact / maintains eye contact / frequent pausing / stands close / stands at a distance (The Benny Incident hit the part of her brain that does language/sentence structure, as well as fucking up a whole lot more stuff. more on that later, important part here is that she takes a longer time putting sentences together, struggles to make sentences without interjections, and kinda has to move to think)

COMPLEXITY

VOCABULARY: ⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤ (dyslexia be dammed my boy can retain words. she's got a very large definition of what "courier work" is, and verbal messages land very firmly within that definition, so he's really really good at remembering a word once it's said to them.)

EMOTION: ⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤ (so genuine it's painful)

SENTENCE STRUCTURE: ⬤◐〇〇〇 (yayyyyy i get to talk more about Sirenity's inability to make sentences good! part of it is just the language use of the area, but most of it is The Benny Incident crossing wires, loosening screws, and stealing marbles. they're so bad at this. it's not the worst it could be! he's still very understandable! he just takes a while and sometimes his joining words and subject/verb/object order gets jumbled. and sometimes she has to walk away in the middle of a sentence and say an entire poem to herself. and sometimes she has to say a word in every other language they know. and sometimes she just has to say a bunch of words and hope to god whoever they're talking to can piece together what the sentence was supposed to be. it's bad. NONE of that features when they're delivering a verbal message as part of a 'job' or mimicking someone else, though. "but secondhand!," you say, "couldn't they just mimic someone else to get their sentence out?" and to that, I say, "that's a really good idea but unfortunately they find the idea morally icky and they're a REALLY genuine person so even if they didn't think it was morally icky, they'd still be really uncomfortable with it")

PROFANITY

FREQUENCY: ⬤⬤⬤⬤〇 (not every other word, but quite frequent!)

CREATIVITY (in regards to profanity): ⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤

BOLD ALL THAT APPLY: arse. ass. asshole. bastard. bitch. bloody. bugger. bollocks. chicken shit. crap. cunt. dick. frick. fuck (fucking, fucked, fucky, fuckass, shitfuck... by far his favourite curse word). horseshit (bullshit, dogshit...). motherfucker. piss. prick. screw. shit. shitass. son of a bitch. twat. wanker. pussy (not as an insult! just as a crude word).

IMPORTANT QUESTIONS

DO PEOPLE HAVE A HARD TIME HEARING OR UNDERSTANDING YOUR CHARACTER? - almost always / frequently / rarely / never (delivering a message? not at all, unless the message is incoherent. casual conversation? it happens. are they stressed or excited? oh, wow, expect gaps and interjections and other Sirenity-isms)

DOES YOUR CHARACTER'S INTENDED POINT COME ACROSS EASILY WHEN THEY SPEAK? - almost always / frequently / sometimes / rarely / never. (now, you may be thinking, "secondhand! you literally just went on tangents about how bad Sirenity is at sentences! this answer is contradictory!" and to that, I say, "astute observation! the keywords (in specifically my previous note) are 'casual' and 'stressed'. remember way back at the top of Sirenity's section where their demeanour is 'confident'? that isn't unfounded. in the slightest. they have their shit TOGETHER. they're damn good at what they do and know it. their JOB is COMMUNICATION! it takes a fucking lot to frazzle them. he's really good at talking to people on their level!)

WOULD YOUR CHARACTER INITIATE CONVERSATIONS? - almost always / frequently / sometimes / never. (comes with the job)

WOULD YOUR CHARACTER BE THE ONE TO END CONVERSATIONS? - almost always / frequently / sometimes / rarely / never. (again, his entire job is communication. would only ever end a conversation if the other person was being REALLY mean AND kept circling back on the same topics.)

WOULD YOUR CHARACTER USE 'WHOM' IN A SENTENCE? - yes / no / only ironically

YOUR CHARACTER WANTS TO MAKE A COUNTERPOINT. WHAT WORD DO THEY USE? - but / though + although + however (if they're offering a counterpoint to their own sentence) / perhaps + mayhaps (for the bit).

HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER END CONVERSATIONS? - walk away / ask if that's everything / say that's everything / give a proper goodbye / tell their company they're done here / remain quiet (this would be because they need to think) / they don't.

WHAT SOCIAL CLASS WOULD OTHERS ASSUME YOUR CHARACTER BELONGS TO, HEARING THEM SPEAK? - upper / middle / lower. (uses really simple sentences in casual conversation, accent, word use)

IN WHAT WAYS DOES THE WAY YOUR CHARACTER SPEAK STAND OUT TO OTHERS? - accent / vocabulary / tone / level / politeness / brusqueness / it doesn't. (depends who they're speaking to! he can be quite rude but shockingly polite. speech 90 barter currently ~85 iirc. can and will talk herself in and out of situations. i think the key takeaway of the way she speaks is how genuine she is. so so so genuine. not incapable of lying but definitely doesn't like it and will often automatically correct an accidental lie.)

Love Shot: Minhwan x y/n

Study group fanfic (1/7 chapters)

Note: 1. I use translator. 2. I hate Minhwan (though most ppl tend to like him) and it seems that this kinda short fiction is most liked by the readers so i decided to translate this. Thanking for stopping by this post.

…

“Stop calling me by that weird name. Ma Minhwan, remember that.”

All the faces flashing by - say hello. We've said goodbye. Maybe we'll meet up again in the next life.

Upon waking from the dream, various sound echoed in his mind—the laughter, the tender plea in spoken words, the whispering breath, the echoing blast of gunfire, and, in solemn solitude, the mournful utterance of her name.

Chapter I : Unexpected encounter

Y/n was an ordinary high school student, searching for a webtoon to read during the twilight hours.

Being an avid manga reader, she made it a daily ritual to unwind after a long day of studying. Sometimes, she stumbled upon stories so captivating that she lost track of time, reading until late night.

Tonight was no different. While engrossed in her manga on the bed, Y/n's attention was caught by a series titled "Study Group." Her favorite character in this story was Yoon Gamin, a handsome nerd who captured the hearts of many readers.

After three hours of indulging in the manga, her eyes felt strained. Suddenly, her body stiffened, and she struggled to breathe. To make matters worse, she couldn't utter a plea for help. In less than a minute, the world around her darkened, and she felt a sense of impending doom.

It seemed like the end of her life...

But it wasn't.

"Whoa!" Y/n abruptly woke up, gasping for air. She looked around in confusion; this wasn't her bedroom or the familiar bed she knew.

Rushing to the bathroom, she stared at her reflection in the mirror, almost refusing to believe what her eyes were seeing. The image in the mirror was undeniably her, yet different. Y/n had transformed into a 2D cartoon character.

Reading countless manga stories that transported characters to different worlds, Y/n never imagined she'd experience it herself. Tentatively, she touched her face, feeling the animated essence of her being.

This wasn't a dream.

She was alive...

But where was this place, and which manga world had she fallen into?

Exploring the room, Y/n realized it was a modest rented space. It seemed she was navigating this 2D world alone.

Approaching her backpack to find some clues, she discovered a wallet inside. Opening it, she found a student ID card.

"Y/n's student ID... at Tech High School..."

Her eyes widened in shock. "Tech High School!"

"Did I just reincarnate to Study Group!?"

In the myriad manga stories she had read—whether they were shojou, princesses reincarnated to another world, or epic fantasy battles—Y/n found herself immersed in a South Korean high school webtoon which she hadn't even reached the end of the story herself! Not even half of it.

Y/n raised her hand to her forehead, overwhelmed, pondering how she would survive in that school.

After spending a day that, truth be told, involved nothing but contemplation, she remained uncertain about the timeframe of events. What she did know was that she had read up until the point where Gamin went to the hospital and encountered a golden-haired senior with a small vocabulary notebook. Beyond that, the storyline was a mystery.

The bell rang loudly, signaling the start of classes. Despite feeling out of place during her first genuine visit, there was a strange familiarity about the school that lingered in her mind. It wasn't just that; her interactions with other students felt oddly normal, as if she hadn't stumbled into an entirely different world.

She discovered she was a first-year class 1 student in the Fashion Design department—a regular student in this chaotic school.

"And now, what am I supposed to do in this world?" she wondered aloud.

No quests or pop-up windows like in dating sims or manga where the protagonist transmigrates into a novel. Y/n realized she had to find answers on her own—why she ended up in this world.

"If I meet Yoon Gamin, the protagonist of this story, it might be good," she mused, her heart skipping a beat at the thought of encountering the 2D ikimen she admired. This wasn't just a dream; she could feel her heartbeat clearly.

Y/n decided to find Yoon Gamin during the break after lunch. The problem was that even though she had a vague memory of the school, she had no idea where the classrooms for the male students were. It seemed her 2D self had never visited this part of the school before.

"Yoon Gamin is in first year... class 1... first year," she muttered while scanning room signs, eventually bumping into someone unexpectedly.

"Oops! Sorry, I wasn't looking."

Y/n instinctively touched her head before diverting her gaze to avoid further embarrassment. She was about to walk pass him.

"Wait. You don’t think saying sorry would be enough for bumping into me like that, right?" the person with navy blue hair, not that tall comparing to the light-haired guy beside him, said.

Y/n sighed. ‘Seriously? I don’t have my precious time for an extra like you. I gotta find this manhwa protagonist!’

“Hmm?” He raised his eyebrow in curiosity.

“Wait…You are…”

“I am?”

The realization suddenly came to her mind

“You are the gray-haired antagonist’s friend!”

“Huh?”

“What…”

Both of them got confused at the same time.

"you're calling me what?" The so-called gray-haired antagonist chuckled, and the person next to him then started to laugh.

"Hahahaha! ... Hey Hanwool, this girl just call you gray-haired antagonist!"

“Stop laughing, Ma Minhwan.”

"Well~ does this not seem to be fun…YOU. What about being my new toy!" Minhwan declared, grinning.

"Wha... what? What do you mean? I don't want to be anyone's toy," Y/n protested, avoiding eye contact.

“Also, I am not gray-haired antagonist’s friend.”

“It’s Ma Minhwan. Remember that.”

Seemed like she had just got into trouble.

And at the end of the day, she didn’t get to Gamin because after she had encountered with a character in Study Group (not a good side for sure), she then left the male student building suddenly, realizing it was not the right time to engage with characters she didn't know well.

But y/n didn’t give up. Next day, as she wandered the halls, she stumbled upon the Study Group room and decided to take a peek. “Is this the room?” She then saw the boy with a thick black square glasses.

“Umm…excuse me? Anything I can help?”

Y/n body froze. Well, it’s her first time meeting Yoon Gamin. She knew he’s hot. He was also the character she liked (the hot-nerd type.) Her heart was beating very fast.

“Umm?”

“Ah! I’m sorry. I am actually here to find…”

“Find?”

“Find a way to apply for Study group.”

The glasses boy eyes suddenly sparkled. He tried to remain his calm and reliable look. Little did he know, y/n already knew his personality and passion towards recruiting students into Study Group.

…

The long table in the middle resembled an interview setup, and all members stared at her from a distance.

"May I ask why do you want to join this club?" Gamin asked.

"Why…”

The question lingered in her head. ‘Why did I come to this world?’

From the reading experience she had, there should be a reason ‘why’ or else…did she—

“I am dead!?”

“Dead?”

“Oh, umm, I mean…the old me who is lazy is dead! Now I want to be better at studying!!”

"That’s a very good answer…ok!”

“Ok? I passed the interview?”

‘As simple as that?’

Sehyeon, a guy with brown hair, entered the scene. "Y/n, to be honest, if you decide not to join the club, the one who is going to beg might be Gamin not you."

"T…Thank you, Gamin. I'll dedicate!"

To search for the answer

The answer— the reason for her to be here

Ice Queen/Tyrant King AU

Gil falls asleep on Thenas Couch while waiting for her to finish her paperwork. Let’s do some soft Thena moment :)

Thena sat back with a sigh, finally done with her paperwork for the day. There were some rather big deals coming through and she had a little extra workload for it. But it would be a very lucrative investment for her business once they were done with it.

Gil had been patiently waiting for her to be done with her work so they could spend some time together.

She still didn't think it was good for his business - or his image - to always be hovering around her. But she had, at least, stopped trying to argue him out of it. It didn't do any good, anyway.

"Gil?" she called softly, standing from her desk chair, "I'm done."

No response.

"Gil?" she asked again, a faint clench in her chest as she wondered if maybe he was a little mad at her for making him wait around so long. She wasn't the one who asked him to!

Gil was asleep, stretched out on her work couch and so out of it he was drooling a little.

Thena rolled her eyes at her terrifying Tyrant King--sleeping like a baby. She walked over to him, pulling his pocket square from his suit jacket to wipe off the corner of his mouth. "Helpless thing."

Gil barely even stirred as she lifted his head to place it in her lap.

The Ice Queen settled herself on the couch next to him, running her fingers through his hair and pulling out a book she only ever read in solitude. She was working on her Korean.

She hadn't exactly told Gil explicitly that she was learning it, nor did she have any desire. And most certainly she hadn't spoken any to or even around him, yet. But she thought it was important to have some in her vocabulary. It was good business, of course.

It wasn't in case she ever had to meet his family for herself--certainly not so that if she ever saw the Little Heiress again she could tell her off in her own language.

It certainly wasn't because she had assumed that Gil's family would demand to have a traditional Korean wedding ceremony, regardless of what their own plans were.

If she had ever considered things like that, which she wasn't, really.

Thena's eyes left her vocabulary book and drifted down to the Tyrant King himself. He was blissfully asleep with his head on her thighs. She looked down to the open collar of his white shirt, allowing the edges of his tattoo sleeves to peek out. She looked down at his hand resting on his chest, rising and falling slowly and steadily.

Thena slid her hand under his and lifted it gently, careful not to wake him. She held the hand, turning it faintly under the light to examine the tattoo on his ring finger. It was visibly newer than the rest of the sleeve encroaching down the back of his hand. It was also fairly intricate, featuring some kind of design rather than being a solid band of ink. She pulled it closer.

It was the pattern that was woven into her lace shawl.

He must have drawn it out for his tattoo artist to render it--and in such a small form.

Gil turned over and Thena gently laid his hand down again, brushing her hand over his forehead to keep him in his state of slumbering. It seemed to work as he shifted, only so he could snuggle his face into her dress.

Thena sighed, allowing him the indulgence only while he was asleep and they were alone.

"Boss?"

Thena paused for a moment. She could debate not answering, which would send Kingo away without a second thought to why she hadn't responded. And if it were truly important, the information would get to her one way or another.

"Come in."

"Hey, I--oh," Kingo blinked and yet didn't seem particularly surprised by the body of the Tyrant King himself residing in her lap. "Sorry to interrupt."

Thena just glared at him, her hand on Gil's forehead, "what is it?"

"I just wanted to tell you that the deal in Seychelles went through," Kingo said softly, kneeling down to the armrest of the couch with the file. "I'm putting the paperwork through and we'll see our turn of the profit within the week."

"Thank you."

Kingo looked up at the Ice Queen and then down to the man in her lap and back up again. "You smile more when he's around."

"Shut up."

"I mean it," Kingo smiled at his boss and frankly one of his oldest friends. This wasn't his teasing grin or a shit-eating smirk he got when he was proven right about something. This was Kingo and Thena. "You're happier with him."

Thena looked down at Gil, sighing as she smoothed over his hair again, "maybe."

"it's a good thing," Kingo patted the sofa armrest before standing again, "all I'm saying."

Thena smiled at him before he saw himself out to complete the work day. He was right, and she was entirely too aware of it. She was happier with Gil--she was a little too happy, maybe frighteningly happy. But she wasn't sure what she was supposed to do about that when he did things like this.

Or when he started keeping lilies on his desk because he said they reminded him of her perfume. Or when he took care of her when she was bedridden or even when he was naming fish he'd bought after her. How was she supposed to resist loving him like that?

Thena set her book aside. Her mind wasn't geared for learning at the moment anyway. She continued to pet his hair idly, both for his comfort and hers. The other hand undid one more shirt button and slipped inside so she could feel his heartbeat against her palm.

That steady rhythm was a promise, and a comfort, and a vow, and her favourite song. It was the same beat of her own silly little heart.

"Hey."

"Hey," she smiled in an unusually soft way--in an unusually soft moment. She tilted her head, her hair pooling around him on her lap. "Enjoy your little nap?"

"I am now," he grinned up at her, happily shimmying his shoulders against her legs. "How long was I out?"

"Not long." Not that she would have told him even if he had been asleep for ages. "I just sat down."

"Then maybe you should lie down too," he suggested eagerly, his eyes brightening at the very notion.

"Some of us know better than to nap on stiff work furniture."

"It's comfortable enough for us to-"

Thena leaned down, pressing her lips to his before he could complete that thought. He happily abandoned it in favour of kissing her.

biography.

tw: v minor mention of violence

born as jeong soojin in seoul, her life has always been predetermined by her last name, her family. she was the first child of her rather prominent parents, alongside her twin brother and both of them grew up surrounded by wealth, learning a second language by the age they were four and a third one from age nine. generally, their parents tried their best to give them everything you were supposed to give a child in order for it to develop promisingly. if raising a child were similar to a math equation that is. the only thing that they were missing, that no money or good intentions could afford them, was privacy. being one of the children of the ceo of a successful real estate company and a prominent politician meant they were always somewhat in the eye of the public. not enough to constantly be of relevance to the media but enough for any missteps to find an audience. 

making mistakes was never an option. failure not in her vocabulary as she grew up and became the over-achiever her parents had always hoped for. she was on top of her class ever since starting school and later on became not only student body president in her high school but also picked up all the right hobbies. playing the violin, horseback riding, fencing - excelling in apparently everything she touched. all the success came with a price though, the rigorous self-discipline, the complete disregard of her actual nature. inside all she felt was emptiness and that emptiness was only replaced by burning, raging anger. when she was thirteen, her blood absolutely boiling with unbridled rage, she became violent towards a classmate of hers. an incident that didn’t cause a big scandal solely because once she got home, bloody fists and all, her parents immediately paid off both the parents of said classmate as well as the members of the press who had heard of the story. everything was kept under tight wraps but it was clear there was an issue, a problem, with the golden child. therefore, she was brought to therapy, diagnosed with anger management issues and recommended to pick up a hobby that might help her with her situation. among the provided examples was drumming, something soojin would have never been allowed previously but that soon became her favorite thing to do. 

in the end, graduating with stellar results was no issue, if one thing came relatively easy to her it was academic success. still, however, she felt empty inside. felt caged in this life she had never picked yet never really tried to fight either. that was until now, when she could finally convince her parents to let her study abroad. embellishing her arguments with how impressive it would look on her CV and how it would help both her cultural and language education, she was allowed to leave the country and therefore also her parents’ and the press’ watchful eyes. she started her bachelors in architecture at ucla, actually quite passionate about the subject but she also didn’t lose sight of another thing she felt passionate about: drumming. ever since she got to the us, she changed her name to dawn, affording herself further anonymity and has finally become her own person. style, chaotic flatshare, political views and all. together with, what would soon become her two closest friends, she created the band r.a.d. about three years ago.

for a long time they were a small underground group, playing feminist punk rock was after all not truly what would catapult you into a life of stardom, or at least that is what they thought. however, after over two years of playing a lot of dingey bars, one of their songs gained some notoriety on tik tok, becoming what you might call a feminine rage hymn. with that hit song under their belt, they were approached by several record labels. dawn never felt inclined to sign, for her life was easier this way. nobody to tell them what direction to take with their music, absolute freedom. she would simply bankroll them herself. but when revolution records approached them and considering her existence of living in between the two worlds might come with an expiry date, rad agreed to sign. it gave them a sense of financial security, while also preserving their artistic freedom. for revolution, they moved across the country where now dawn is finishing up her bachelors degree mostly online.  

headcanons.

character wise she quite controlling and reckless, which can be difficult for social interactions, especially since she is absolutely unwilling to compromise in her ideals or to admit defeat. has absolutely no issue with telling people just how wrong she thinks they are. on the other hand, she has quite the dry sense of humor, can be incredibly charming if she wishes so.

is having the time of her life ever since she joined rad, she is now dressing completely different than she used to at home.  she has also started expressing her own thoughts and opinions a lot... most would say too much.

very much a destroy the patriarchy, anti-capitalistic, eat the rich, acab kind of babe.

AH YES R.A.D. dawn is the youngest member of the band and their drummer. just like at uni, she’s known exclusively as dawn in this context bc she’s still kinda trying to avoid people back at home finding out eek (hello ms hannah montana lol) - esp since r.a.d.’s specialty is angry feminist punk rock.

studies architecture and actually rlly loves it? like she will def geek out about architecture if you give her the chance.

dawn of justice was funnily enough the name of her first horse back home, so do with that info as you will.

she has the kind of personality that makes her a natural leader even though? she is an introvert? so yeah, she does prefer her solitude most of the time but don’t expect her to keep her mouth shut in social situations.

she sleeps very very little, which only adds to her high-strung personality. most of those sleepless nights are either spent performing with the band or studying.

when speaking she does have a slight korean accent.

wanted connections (wip).

i do have this sort of fun ideak that idek what to call but basically your muse and dawn got into a loud argument outside the building and somebody took pictures or videos and posted them to twitter saying they were having a lover spat. actually, they probably don’t get along great and have been trying to vehemently deny it on their social media, both losing some not so nice words about the other but it was simply interpreted by the netizens as them lovingly teasing each other soo.... that’s where we’re at basically. 

enemies / antagonists   — basically, dawn does tend to be a rude lil dickish so she’d def have quite some people who dislike her. for example that could be somebody she made fun off bc she didn’t like their music (probably called it something like mushy fluff or whatever skdfjsdf).

former hook up   —   this was definitely just casual, especially on her part. clean, no strings attached fun. well, unless maybe it wasn’t for your muse ?!  that could be a fun option as well. open for all genders.

the rare friends   —   this is the exclusive group of people she likes to be friends with asdfahd. it just be like that but ya def hmu and give my antisocial gal some friendss. maybe somebody who she actually connected with through music, or perhaps architecture.
