Honestly, you’re really strong.

You’ve been having a lot of bad dates and stupid, awkward encounters with your ex, Kyungsoo.

But thankfully, who is there for you? Your dear Jungkook. Your roommate who has been with you for quite some time now and it’s safe to say that you’ve gotten a lot of used to his presence, and his stupid jokes.

It’s a new day and you feel a little less depressed as compared to the last week, the sun is out and you feel really hot— literally because the weather is getting warmer and warmer.

Jungkook is sitting on the couch watching football, he’s kind of obsessed with it and he’s always screaming at the screen like a maniac, “WHAT THE FUCK?!!?! YN DID YOU SEE THIS?”

Your ears hurt.

He’s probably talking about some goal that you’re not interested in, How can you be when you’re actually really concerned about your love life these days, you and kyungsoo broke up up quite some time ago and you’ve been struggling with dating.

You’re definitely over him, so what is the problem? You don’t know when that’s frustrating you.

“shut up- you’re too loud.” You snap, closing your eyes and frustration because it’s way too early in the morning, you are definitely a night owl, and he’s quite literally sunshine.

Jungkook eyes are focused on you now, “Woah you need to get laid- I’m volunteering if you care.” His stupid remark has you glaring at him and he just laughs it off, he winks at you in return. And just after that he has started to shamelessly stare at your chest.

He’s not wrong- you do need to get laid.

And Yeah, you’re wearing a top so what? It’s really hot.

“you’re so hot.” Jungkook breathes out. You can see his eyes, and his pupils are quite bright. He’s got pretty eyes. He’s really pretty. Not that you would say that to his face because he will eat your brain that you complimented him and that you want to fuck him.

You don’t.

Well, you’re not sure.

“I know tell me something I don’t know, and stop staring at my tits- they don’t talk.” You scold him, but his gaze just doesn’t budge, you’re so used to him that it doesn’t make you uncomfortable.

You just roll your eyes at him. “Bet I can make them..” Your gaze hardens and you pick up a pillow from your couch and hit him with it.

He’s so shameless.

Jungkook pretends to be hurt, whining that you hit him hard. What a manchild, “quit it Jeon.” You warn him and he smirks. “And if I don’t? You’re going to punish me?! Please do.” He begs.

You scoff in disgust, but just then you get an idea- you’re going to mess with him. It’s your turn to smirk as you look at him in the eyes once again. “you’re walking on thin ice and you say that you want me to give you a chance, but… not sure if I should because you are a creep.” You shrug and it’s so satisfying the way his expressions change from smug to anxious.

You got him.

VICTORY.

“what are you talking about? I’m not a creep. And I…I please give me one chance all right I’ll stop my remarks.” he is struggling like an idiot. It’s is really nice to be in control.

“respectfully you just have nice breasts.” he shrugs, but you can tell he’s still panicking about what you just said. He ain’t wrong though you got nice breasts but it’s not nice to stare at them.

“Shut up- THIN ICE.”

You warn him, and he puts a finger on his mouth- his doe eyes are literally so panicky, “ugh I have work..” you whine- and Jungkook has started to focus on the game once again, “hey?! You have work too!!!? get up!”

“Yeah no. I won’t get scolded if I’m a little late because my boss kind of likes me.” He laughs.

What a fuckboy.

“you fuck your boss?!!” You know that’s not what he said or implied but you’re so curious, “uh no? Yn you’re mean!” he looks back at you acting so offended.

“whatever— before I go and change? I think you can take me out on a date I’m giving you a chance.”

You get up before he can even give you a reaction because you know he’s gonna freak out and your prediction is confirmed when you can hear him screaming like an idiot.

You smile as you go back to your room to get ready for work, it wouldn’t be a mistake to give him a chance because he obviously likes you and— he’s been asking you out forever, so why not?

But you’re not sure if you are gonna work out as a couple because he’s too much sometimes, But you’re still going to give him one chance to prove himself.

“YN I LOVE YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH. OH MY GOD YOU’RE NOT GONNA BE DISAPPOINTED. OH MY GOD OH MY GOD. I WILL TEXT YOU ALL THE DETAILS.”

You giggle as you shut the door behind you.

Sure.

He’s still having those wet dreams about you, it’s a struggle for him and he’s concerned because he’s never felt this way for anyone, and it’s just not the wet dreams.

His feelings for you are the main problem.

He annoys the fuck out of you and your both sitting in the couch, he’s pretending to watch football, but it’s hard for him to focus when you’re right next to him smelling like a goddess, and that top of yours?

It’s torture.

Jungkook gets distracted for a minute when his favorite team scores a goal and he screams, he knows that you get annoyed with him and he does that but it’s so fun to get these reactions out of you.

He loves it when you tell him to shut up. And yeah it’s not your fault that you’re so hot because it’s really warm, you just have to make everything look so good.

He looks at you for a minute, and then his gaze just automatically goes to your chest.

You are quite magnificent.

“You’re so hot.” he can’t help but compliment you when you just shrugged and say that you know.

Your confidence is so hot, Jungkook tries his best to be subtle with his lust and attraction towards you, but sometimes it’s just impossible for his tongue to not slip.

He says some things that get you angry.

You hit him with a couch pillow, and he Reacts dramatically, he was just kidding about that one joke. “Ugh.” He whines.

And just like that you guys banter for a while, that isn’t until he fucks it up a little bit more, and you warn him

No, he cannot lose his chance with you.

“I…I please give me one chance. All right, I’ll stop with my remarks.” He is so stupid. Why can’t he keep his hormones and tongue in check?

He doesn’t want you to think that it’s only because he’s physically attracted to you, it’s more than that, yeah, he dreams about fucking you but he also dreams about being with you forever.

That’s how much he likes you.

So please just give him one chance— he thinks to himself when you bring up work and he knows that yeah he has to go to work, but his boss is quite lenient and the pay is really good.

He is watching the game once again when you accuse him of fucking his boss, he does not do that— Jungkook feels a little bad, because that’s all you think of him?

“uh no I don’t- Yn you’re mean!” he looks at you and this time your breasts don’t distract him, he wants you to think of him as a man that is of commitment, but he has a lot to prove.

He has really fucked up his chances—? He feels his heart break as negative thoughts consume him, and he cannot even log into your eyes anymore.

You get up, probably get ready for work because you take everything in your life or seriously and you’re Punctual.

You’re so perfect for him

But maybe it looks like he’s not perfect for you. And that sucks, Should he just give up on you? He’s not sure.

“whatever— before I go and change? I think you can take me out on a date I’m giving you a chance.”

Did he just hear you right? Did you really just say you don’t give him a chance? And then he can take you out on a date

He tilts his head so fast, absolutely freaked out, his eyes are white, and his mouth is agape,

He’s not being delusional right now, is he?

“Y-Yn what did you just say?

He stutters out because he really cannot believe what you just said right now, have you hit your head or something because he’s asked you the same question for the past year but you have denied him, so why the sudden change?

He feels so happy right now- jungkook gets up from the couch and goes after you, but before he can catch you, so we can confirm what he just heard you giggle.

“YN I LOVE YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH. OH MY GOD YOU’RE NOT GONNA BE DISAPPOINTED. OH MY GOD OH MY GOD. I WILL TEXT YOU ALL THE DETAILS.” Before you can actually shut the door he says it out loud.

and you shut the door behind you.

＊*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚ 　˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊ ＊*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚　 ˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊ ＊*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚ ˚ ＊*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚ ˚ ＊*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚ ˚

Twenty-one had always represented more than just a number to y/n.

She could finally obtain her freedom to go out of the Palace with only one guard, have her friends over more often, begin her self-defense classes, and learn more about the women she admired the most. Of course, y/n had always had history lessons for it was of utmost importance for a royal like her to be knowledgeable of her roots and ancestry. However, there was one particular Queen whom she had the most curiosity about. No teacher had dared to tell the story of Jeon Mindae, a royal who had vanished after eleven years of rule, and no one ever talked about what had happened to her.

As much as she was joyous about all those new possibilities, y/n was also terrified. Turning twenty-one had also meant that she was of age to finally get married, and the King was well aware of that. Her sister, barely a year older than her, had been married two months after her twenty-first birthday. Consequently, y/n was not expecting any other future for herself.

A week after her celebration, y/n found herself looking out of the window of her chambers, wondering how life went about for people whom she probably would never see ever again. She liked to contemplate all those various faces and create whole identities and characters, imagining stories, often romantic, for each person that called her attention.

Y/n envied them sometimes. Their lives could be different, more challenging, and less privileged, but at least they had certain freedoms to enjoy, even if they did not realize it. They could go out and about whenever, wherever, and with whoever they liked, they could lead an independent life, and above all, they could marry the person they loved. Those aspects of life were what y/n yearned the most, and ironically, was deprived of them. Her only alternative was her newly gained escapades. And she desperately needed to go out. 

Even though she had been able to leave the Palace for a couple of hours already, the guard who accompanied her was pretty annoying and watched her every step. He made sure people knew who she was and made her feel out of place, which was the opposite of what she had wanted. So, this time, she had asked the King to send another guard with her.

“Sir Sehun must accompany me this time, Your Highness”

“Why is that so, Princess?”

“I do not intend for people to recognize me when I leave the Palace. Sir Taehun was not fit for that role”

“For I trust Sir Sehun, I will assign him this duty. Await him by the gates”

“Thank you, Your Highness”

The woman could not help but smirk as she made her way out of the Crown room. Sehun was a dear friend of hers and she knew he was both, laidback and protective. She was the safest and most confident under his care. 

Y/n had to laugh when, after some minutes of impatient little walks around the gates, Sir Sehun approached her with his thick right eyebrow raised “Ma’am, may I ask why I was requested as your guard?”

“Well, Sir Sehun,” she interlaced her left arm with the soldier’s right one as he was offering, and began their walk out of the Palace “Taehun is a prick” she let out once they were out of sight, and a good distance from the nosy masses of the royal community.

“Nothing new. You just want me to let you live, then” he dropped off the formalities, as they usually did when together and in private — or at least away from those who could not live a life as anything else than aristocrats. 

“You know me so well”

The walk to the Cherry Blossom Market was quiet but pleasant. They both liked the silence and tranquility that the forest offered, and it was well known between them that it had to be savored each time, as opportunities like those were usually scarce. Upon reaching the first stalls, y/n sent a smile in Sehun’s way. That was her call for him to just let her go around but always under his careful watch, as she had promised. 

The beauty that y/n found there, she was sure could not be found anywhere else. Just the sight of people all dressed up in colorful yet comfortable ropes, some simple, some fancy, brought a new wave of giddiness to her body. The thought of being able to walk with them, passing as one more of the commoners, was what made her the most thrilled. She could pretend, just for a couple of hours, that she was one of the people she usually fantasized about through the glass of her window. 

A pair of the prettiest shoes caught her attention, and she had to stop to just admire them. Soft peachy colored silk embraced the pair, both adorned with delicate pink cherry blossom petals on each side. Sadly, she could not have them. The guards would snap them away from her the minute she went inside for the check-up. Commoner things stay with commoners. 

A light breeze took her out of her thoughts, and as she placed the shoes back where they belonged with a small bow to the stall owner, her eyes met a wooden bridge, which went over a quiet river. Cherry blossoms surrounded the area, their petals dancing their way to the ground, mimicking a snowy afternoon. After taking a look back to Sehun, who was well aware of her movements, she enthusiastically skipped to the beginning of the bridge, feeling the glee that the soft petals caressing her cheeks provided her with.      

The walk to the viaduct was calmer, yet never less eager. The middle of the bridge had a smaller number of people, so y/n decided that that was the right spot to rest a little and contemplate the delicateness of the running water, and how the pink petals bathed in it as if tired of hanging from a tree.

Although her hood was bothering her sightseeing, she knew people would recognize her out of paintings and written records, so she had the need to hide her face as much as she could. The risk was high enough with her hood up. 

Noticing how someone stopped right beside her and leaned their forearms on the railing, she took her gaze away from the river and to her other side, pretending to observe the cherry blossoms dancing to the rhythm of the wind. When the woman was about to walk away, she heard the person speak.

“Is it not incredible that there are over a hundred varieties of cherry blossom trees?” 

The deepness and smoothness of the voice that she now knew belonged to a man, had her stood still in her place. A shiver ran down her spine and she felt how her cheeks imitated the color of the most intense pink petals.

“It certainly is,” she replied, clearing her throat, still giving her back to the stranger. Though she was aware of the hazard that that man could represent, she physically could not move from her spot. It was as if the man’s voice had put a spell on her. 

“Are these your favorite?” he asked, and y/n could not help but crack a smile. 

“Fortunately, they are” 

Her body was moving without her taking notice, and suddenly she was no longer facing the trees but the very man who had interrupted her alone time, away from royalties, away from turmoil. And the sight in front of y/n had her sigh. 

A round face, giving him a youthful and friendly appearance, was complemented by brown almond-shaped eyes, which seemed captivating, warm, and inviting. His well-defined, thick eyebrows framed his eyes and added character to his face. The man sported a small, button-like nose that went well with his soft jawline. Though she tried to avoid looking at his lips, it had become an impossible task. Plump, well-defined, heart-shaped. Flawless. She last noticed that his dark brown hair was up in a topknot, all secured by a simple linen headband.

“Have you ever seen the Shirotae variety?” when his eyes met hers, y/n felt what she could only associate with what her romantic novels described as love at first sight. If it existed or not, she couldn't care less. For her, a man like him talking about her favorite tree and flower, looking at her in what seemed to be undivided attention and care, had to be hard to find — and that had her over the moon in just a couple of seconds.

“I have never left the Kingdom” she admitted, finally able to unglue her eyes from his. Overly conscious, she looked down at her feet, hiding her face as much as possible with the gray hood.

“Hwanggeum is known for having them all, though it is true that the Shirotaes are well beyond our borders. Are you from here, Agassi?”

It was the first time that someone had addressed her as a commoner, and rather than displeasing her, it encouraged her to keep talking to the man. He had not recognized her after all.

“I am, Seonsaengnim”

“So you are well acquainted with the Pink Shell” his faint smile had her melting right on the spot, but she somehow managed to conceal it. 

“It might also be the reason why they are my favorite. Though I have read about the other varieties, I have not had the chance to see them in person yet”

“Would you like to?”

If it meant that he could take her away and hold her hand for the rest of the afternoon, she would have yelled ‘Please!’. However, the sight of Sehun waiting for her by the end of the bridge, right behind the enticing man, had her come to her senses “I am afraid my father is not very keen on me going out often, especially out of the city”

“That was not my question, Agassi. Would you like to?”

“I would love to,” she nodded, and with all her might, bowed to say goodbye “It was pleasant to converse with you, Seonsaengnim. Have a good rest of your afternoon”

Walking past him, she tried to reach her guard friend as fast as possible. Her efforts, no matter how big, were cut short by a hand around her unclothed wrist. The warmth he transmitted was able to soothe her uncontrollable heart, just a little bit, for his hand over her skin, was not something her heart was expecting to feel.

“I still do not know your name” he recited, not letting go. “I am Kyungsoo. Do Kyungsoo”

“Pardon me Seonsaengnim, but I am not allowed to disclose my name” 

As if he sensed that that was all he was getting from her, the man she now knew to be named Do Kyungsoo let her hand go, and she was finally able to walk towards her guard. “Let’s go” she murmured over her breath, not stopping on her way back home. Sehun rapidly followed, not wanting to discuss what he had witnessed. 

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: .☽ . :☆ﾟ. ───

Do Kyungsoo stayed on her mind for the following two days, as if he had nowhere else to be. It was surprising how she could not just shoo him away. No matter how many classes she took, how many conversations she had or the piles of books she read, the man with warm eyes and plump lips would always come back. She was aware of the fact that the King would announce her inescapable marriage in the upcoming weeks, hopefully, months, and having met him, she did not want that day to come any time soon.

Three days had passed, and y/n could no longer bear it. She had to see Kyungsoo again, at least one last time.

“Indeed, Sir Sehun is available for you. Where are you heading to?” the King asked, and y/n raised her head.

“To the Cherry Blossom Market, Your Highness”

“Again?” With his eyebrows raised, he observed her every movement.

“I am truly in love with the cherry blossom trees, and these are the last days of their bloom. I yearn to admire them as long as I can”

A nod was the only permission she needed to perform a deep bow and leave the Crown room, looking for Sehun with her eyes. She spotted the guard standing next to the room’s entrance, already informed of his next duties. There was no need to say anything.

With her cloak on and hood already up, silence remained untouchable until they surpassed the main gates of the Palace. The discretion she continuously made sure to have had become sacred at that point. No one except Sehun could know about Do Kyungsoo. 

“Are you sure he is going to be there?”

“I am not, but this is the only way I can find out” she sighed, letting him walk by her side. 

“Why do you want to see him again?” he asked.

“Honestly, Sehun, I do not know,” the woman admitted “He has not left my mind ever since we met. The only certainty I have is that my heart is longing for him.”

“Do you like him?”

“It is hard to say. I have never felt this way, so I cannot compare it to anything other than what I read romantic in my novels”

“Not a great source, may I say” Sehun giggled, looking at her with small eyes. 

“I am sorry, Sir all-the-girls-love-me” her laugh synced with his, heading the conversation in a more relaxed direction. 

“Not only girls love me!”

Though tranquility had embraced her as they walked their way through the forest, the sight of the first market stalls made her heart race once again. He could be anywhere, but he was surely closer than before. 

When she felt Sehun squeeze her shoulder, she looked his way to find a comforting smile. She nodded. Words were not necessary between them.

Calculated but unconscious steps led her to the bridge where their heartwarming exchange had taken place. The trees were still there, now calmer than before. Petals were still falling, but their dance was more controlled and stable. The bridge itself had fewer people, and she thought that the stillness of the water could not be attractive enough for the masses. It was for her.

A deep breath was all she had to do to muster the courage and find the place where Kyungsoo had approached her. All she had to do was wait. But oh my! It was a true challenge. As she hummed a song that her sister had sung to her while she was little, y/n closed her eyes and let her mind wander around dangerous paths. His cute smile had popped up once again, and it was impossible for her not to smile back. The effect he had had on her in only a matter of minutes was incomprehensible. 

“Is it me that you are waiting for, Agassi?”

The feeling that her heart was about to jump out of her chest came back upon hearing his honeyed voice once again. Nothing could have prepared y/n for that moment, regardless of how many times she had imagined it.

“Yes,” she whispered, turning to him with rosy cheeks. Because she had expected to see his gentle smile, the seriousness of his expression took her aback “Oh… Is there something wrong, Seongsaengnim?”

“I now know why you did not want me to know your name, Your Grace”

Her surprise could not be veiled. How had that happened? Was she not careful enough? She would not have come back if she noticed any trace of recognition in his eyes. She could not risk her outings like that. 

“You are mistaking me for someone else” Her voice faltered, but her forehead was still up.

“I am not. You are Princess Y/n, daughter of King Younghee and sister of the future Queen, Princess Hara. I apologize for the boldness with which I addressed you the other day, Your Grace. It was only after our encounter that I realized who you were”

So that settled it. Her outings were over, her freedom was over. Seeing him was also over. She understood that good things only lasted for a short period, but she did not see the end coming so fast. 

“Why are you here?” y/n had to know at least that. Was he back to solely ask for forgiveness?

“I had wanted to see you again, Your Grace. I came back here the day following our meeting, but you were not here. That same evening, I traveled to the Grand Market to buy more merchandise to sell at the Market, and I saw the big portrait of your family at the entrance. How could I not know who you were?” the calmness with which he uttered his sentences had y/n in a trance. His eyes had not left hers, as if he had rehearsed for that exact instant together.  “After learning about your true identity, I knew I had to stop myself from expecting this encounter to happen again”

“But it happened” she murmured, feeling her chest expanding with a deep breath. 

“I genuinely tried, Your Grace” he shook his head, still not moving an inch from his spot “But it proved to be impossible.”

The silence that followed his statements permitted the woman to process her sentiments, one by one. There was nervousness. Uncertainty. Fear. But there was also expectancy. Excitement. Bliss. 

“We are not supposed to do this” he continued “A commoner can only dream of meeting a royal and give her the life she deserves. I know I am not able to do so. However, I am here. And you are here too, Your Grace”

“I needed to see you again,” she admitted, taking her hood away from her view. She had to see him in all his plenitude because it had to be the last time “only one more time. My mind was playing tricks and my duties could not be fulfilled if I had you in my head every hour”.

“I understand,” Kyungsoo nodded, and for the first time that afternoon, his fingers touched hers. Her lifetime seemed to pass right in front of her eyes as the caress of his warm skin against hers filled her senses. It was overwhelming, yet y/n wanted more. “I want you to have this. We cannot interact in person anymore, but I consider letters to be a very effective way to communicate. If that is what you want, Your Grace”

The eager nod she gave him made Kyungsoo show the first smile of the afternoon. His relief could be sensed, and that also gave her the reaffirmation she had been desperate for. With a discrete hand movement, she took the folded piece of paper, keeping it inside her cloak’s pocket. 

“I also know you will get married in the near future” his forehead furrowed, and y/n felt how her eyes welled up. That was a topic she was not ready to face, especially with him “Although that makes it even more dangerous and unfeasible, I am still willing to do this. Are you, Your Grace?”

Not following her heart was not an option. She would allow herself to be selfish this time.

“I am”

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: .☽ . :☆ﾟ. ───

Your Royal Highness,

I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I write to you with the utmost humility and respect, fully aware of the immeasurable distance that separates your world from mine.

Since the moment I first had the privilege of glimpsing your radiant presence from afar, my heart has embarked on a journey it had never before known. It is a journey filled with profound admiration, deep respect, and, dare I say, love that transcends all boundaries.

I am but a humble commoner, a mere speck in the grand tapestry of your Father’s noble kingdom. Yet, as I go about my daily toils, I find myself endlessly enchanted by thoughts of you. Your delicateness, your kindness, your voice—all of these qualities have illuminated my every waking moment from the second you answered my inquiry.

Please understand that I harbor no illusions of grandeur, nor do I seek to intrude on your world. My affection is a silent and solitary affair, a secret held close to my heart, and now to yours. It is a love that has to remain unspoken, for I am painfully aware that my place in society precludes any dreams of an impossible union.

I am content to serve my kingdom, my family, and my fellow commoners with all the devotion and diligence I can muster. In doing so, I hope to honor the same virtues that have earned you the admiration and adoration of all who have had the privilege of knowing you.

May your days be filled with happiness and prosperity.

With the utmost reverence and eternal devotion,

DKS.

His neat calligraphy imprinted in liquid ink had perfectly accompanied what he had expressed in that letter. Kyungsoo’s well-thought-out words had her heart leap in excitement and yearning. The man had probably spent an afternoon ardently writing, employing careful words and admiring sentences. 

In return, she had to let him know what he had done to her as well. The impossibility of their reunion could not make their days heavy with misery.  

My Dear Kyungsoo,

I wish nothing but good health and spirits for you in return. Your words have touched my heart, and I am deeply moved by the sincerity and humility with which you express your feelings.

Your admiration and respect have not gone unnoticed. I am grateful for your kind words and the sentiments you have shared with me. It is rare to encounter such genuine devotion and honor in this world, and your letter has brought warmth to my heart.

I must confess that your unwavering dedication to our kingdom and your fellow commoners resonates deeply with me. Your commitment to serving our people is a testament to the qualities that make our realm strong and resilient.

It is with a heavy heart that I must acknowledge the realities of our respective stations in life. The traditions and responsibilities that come with my position demand a life of duty and sacrifice, which I am still unable to come to terms with. Your affection is a gift I shall cherish in my heart, but I also have to understand the limitations that bind us.

I encourage you to continue your path with the same steadfast determination and honor that you have shown thus far. Your devotion to our kingdom is a treasure, and I have no doubt that your contributions will be felt and appreciated by many.

Please know that I hold your words and your spirit in high regard. 

With the deepest respect and warm regards,

y/n. 

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: .☽ . :☆ﾟ. ───

Weeks had passed, and letters had come and gone. What had first started as a timid and knowingly-impossible romance, was now a tragedy that only found its way to the surface through words of passion, endeavor, and selflessness. 

The only one who knew about their exchange was Sehun. Since he was made responsible for her outings, no matter where they were, he had soon suggested delivering the letters back and forth, as he had understood how hazardous their short encounters could be. Seeing each other from afar from time to time was not enough, but was the only thing they could do for their growing affection. 

When she did not go with Sehun, their letter exchange was not done over the bridge. The men had made up a system unknown to y/n, but extremely effective in turn. Despite knowing how she was putting herself at risk each time she hid her letter in Sehun’s sleeve, she trusted her guard. Because receiving Kyungsoo’s letter was the only time of the week she felt purposefully happy, she neither wanted to nor would stop.

But alas, as she had learned, everything came to an end. However, that was not the way she had wanted it to happen. 

“Kyungsoo was not there this morning” Sehun’s forehead creased, worrisome written all over his face.

“What?” she had to stop herself from actually yelling, and shielded her mouth with one of her hands “Not any trace?”

“None”

“He has never done this”

A knock on her chamber’s door startled both of them, and Sehun had to take a step back to allow her to reach the hatch next to him. She looked at him, puzzled, and with a deep breath opened the door. 

“Your Grace, Your Highness is requesting your presence in the Crown room”

“Is it urgent?”

“It is, Your Grace”

Thanking the maid, y/n closed the door behind her and hugged Sehun “I have a bad feeling about this”

Call it third eye, intuition, or merely understanding. The woman had not failed to see what was coming. 

“You are to get married next week, y/n. Everything has been settled, and I am glad to announce that your future husband is the best prospect I could find for you. You will meet him in three days when he comes to formally propose to you.”

When she squeezed her eyes shut, the tears that had shimmered them traveled down her pale cheeks. Y/n could only see Kyungsoo reciting his letters to her in his mellowed voice, promising her to find a way to be together, not caring about social boundaries anymore. She only wanted to hear his whispers, to feel his tender touch, and to experience what would be like to have his inviting lips caress her own.

But now, the King was taking that away from her. The possibility they had built through their letters had to remain impossible. 

“Why are you doing this to me, Dad?”

It was the first time in years that y/n had called the King dad. She had felt that he no longer deserved that title, no matter how painful it was to lack that figure in her life. After her mother’s passing, he changed. His anguish for his loss had duplicated hers and Hara’s. He had forgotten that he had two daughters who had lost a mother and had only started to care for his heartbreak. 

“You are more naive than I wished you were.” he declared, unmoved by her emotions “I could have waited some weeks, some months even. But your recent behavior was proof enough that you need someone to discipline you”

“What are you talking about?” a mess already, y/n felt how her future with Kyungsoo vanished little by little. The love they had both developed over months through words and glances from afar was coming to an end, and there was nothing she could do to prevent it from happening.  

“Twenty-one is the prime of your life, and albeit you are not becoming Queen, you have duties to fulfill. Disregarding that, you have been frequently meeting a commoner, y/n. Please, do not tell me that that is not accurate, because I have eyes all over my kingdom. The greatest way to get you back on track is to give your hand in marriage to someone who is well-versed in our world, and knows how to treat you”

“As a trophy? As garbage? As a scum?” 

“Has your sister protested like you are? How do you know you will be treated badly if you have not crossed glances with him?” his harsh tone would not scare her away.

“I do not have to do that to understand that he will make my life miserable. The one person who is able to make me happy is not him” Rage was getting into her quite rapidly. She had to fight for what she wanted. But how?

“The one person you are so sure about making you happy is no longer available. I am sorry, daughter, but this is your life.”

“What have you done to him?!” 

“Return to your chambers, y/n. That was all I had to say”

“Dad?! What have you done to him?!” 

The sorrow was unmeasurable. She had put Kyungsoo at risk, she had made him suffer the consequences of loving her. She had selfishly walked him to a dark place, which she did not even know what it looked like. Where was he? Was he even alive? 

The pressure that was building in her chest was somewhat relieved when Sehun went inside her room, with no knocking in between. He was the only one she had allowed to do that in case of an emergency. And God knows she was in need of what Sehun could provide to her, be it a hug or simple reassurance words. But luck was on her side — if one could say that after what she was about to go through — and he was there with more than just that.

“I know what happened” Taking her hands into his, he began to share the information he was able to gather “Taehun has been following us, and he was the one who told your father about Kyungsoo”

“That bastard!” y/n’s eyes flooded with tears as she squeezed Sehun’s hands harder.

“I have never liked him, but that just crossed the line” he admitted “The King sent his soldiers to capture Kyungsoo, and now they got him in the dungeons” “Oh my Goodness” the fear multiplied, and the sudden relief she had felt upon seeing her best friend disappeared to make room for that familiar pressure, this time coming back twice as bad.

“I have a plan” he nodded, placing his big hands on her shoulders “Jaemin is watching over him during the night shift… and he owes me”

Y/n could do nothing else than cry on his shoulder and thank him over and over again. She truly did not know what she would do without her loyal guard, without her Sehun.

—

With her fingers tightly gripping her dress sleeves, the princess followed the guard down the spooky stairs of the dungeons. Though not too far away from the Palace, they had to ride a horse to make it quicker — and she was not a fan of horses. However, this time, she did not really care. Kyungsoo was her only priority. 

“Why is this so smelly?” she whispered, coughing when the damp odor reached her nostrils.

“Do you think they would bother to clean this?” 

“Too busy standing next to the King, I guess.”

Just when the flight of stairs started to appear endless, y/n saw light coming from one of the corners, and she could finally breathe “He’s here, right?”

But the woman did not have to wait for Sehun’s response, because he was right there. Sitting with his back resting on one of the rusty cell bars, Kyungsoo looked drained. His face was pale and smeared with dirt and sweat. His clothes were ragged and mucky. Because his eyes were closed, she could only guess — and hope — that he was sleeping. 

“Stay back. I’ll talk to Jaemin first”

As Sehun walked towards the light, she could sense how the movement around him was slowly waking him up from his slumber. His eyes had lightened up when he recognized her best friend and a sense of easiness travelled down through y/n’s spine. 

“Come, y/n”

If Kyungsoo’s eyes had lightened up when he saw Sehun, the instant his gaze met hers he appeared to hold the stars and the moon altogether in his orbs. “You are here”

No time was wasted when the master key let him out of the cell. They embraced each other for the first time, and the relief that they both felt upon finally having their love in their arms was indescribable. Letters were incredible, but they lacked contact, they lacked tangible affection.

“I am so sorry” she cried, taking in the feeling of his arms around her waist, and how his left hand caressed the back of her head with soft strokes.

“None of this is your fault, my love” he whispered, and being able to hear his sweet voice calling her that endearment sent her heart jumping out of her ribcage “We were aware of the risks. And I am still delighted with the decision we made”

“How?” 

“Because I get to have you in my arms now” he let her go, only to place his hands on her cheeks, looking into her eyes as if they held the universe. “We will be fine”

“Why are you so confident about that?” y/n could not help but be hesitant about everything around her now. She had only questions in her mind, no clear answers in sight. 

“Because” he brushed her lower lip with his thumb, his eyes traveling down with it, and back to her orbs “what we have is not easily broken. They can try, but we fight back. And if it is not now, it will be then. We will be together, my love. Trust me”

And with that promise, Kyungsoo pressed his lips onto hers and sealed the deal. The initial surprise had her frozen, trying to figure out what was actually happening. But when everything was clear, y/n closed her eyes and let him in. His passionate way of kissing her was more telling of his love for her than any of his letters were, and that was a lot to say. He was an excellent writer. But when it came to kissing…

Their romantic moment was cut short when Sehun fake coughed in an attempt to get their attention. When their lips were mere centimeters away from each other, he was quick to intervene “I am really sorry to interrupt your… moment, but she cannot stay much longer”

“What do you mean stay?” the woman looked at her best friend, baffled by his statement “Is he not coming with us?”

It may have been a dumb question, but she did not see how they could not just let him go, at least to hide somewhere far away.

“That would be an overly bad idea” Kyungsoo uttered, interlacing his fingers with hers “That would get everyone killed. Me, Sehun, the other guard. We cannot risk it” he shook his head, and rapidly let her hands go to brush the tears running down her cheeks “We will find another way, my love”

“But…” she sobbed, suddenly feeling like a little kid in his arms “I do not want you to die, my darling” 

“I am not dying anytime soon. I have to become your prince first” he giggled, and that sent the butterflies in her stomach on a wild flight.

“Guys…”

“Sorry,” Kyungsoo apologized and pressed a kiss on her forehead “Go back to your chambers and wait for Sehun to tell you what to do next. Whether the plan takes a week, two months, or three years… we cannot know for sure. The only thing I know for a fact is that we are meeting again, and we will have our happily ever after. I promise you, my love”

y/n would recite those exact words for the following two years, be it aloud or in her mind. Kyungsoo’s vow was not to leave her soul anytime soon, and she decided to use it as a way to have him close to her heart every day. 

She had had to get married. She had had to share a room with someone she did not love. She had played the trophy wife role for too long for her liking. But Sehun had continuously reassured her that the plan was going smoothly, and if everything happened according to it, she would meet Kyungsoo in a short time.

“Hajoon wants me to become pregnant” she confessed, a halo of panic in her eyes “I cannot deal with this anymore” Her cheeks, very familiar with her tears by that point, wetted the beginning of her bluey sweetheart bodice.

“When are you heading to the tour around Hwanggeum?”

“In three days”

“Hold on for a week. We are getting there”

Do you know that feeling of time slowing down when what you only need is the wait to be over? That was what y/n was experiencing ever since she left Kyungsoo in that horrid dungeon, hoping that seeing him again would be a matter of days. Her heart was hopeful, but her mind was not so much so. She knew that rushing into what your feelings dictate never brings good results, but the urgency had become tangible as the months went by. 

He was in the back of her mind most of her days, but very much present when her husband pressed kisses on her forehead, and occasionally on her lips. Despite not liking him much, she had to admit that Hajoon was clearly not the worst. He had respected her boundaries and only touched her when she let him. She was suspiciously sure that he had a lover way before they had gotten married, and that was a strange relief for the woman. However…

“I truly wish things were different, y/n… but we have to produce an heir soon”

“It sounded like you really want that” she sarcastically replied.

“Your Father…”

“Of course” she nodded, putting her hairbrush away to look at him “I will tell him we are trying. A child is not part of my plans right now”

The only person in her plans was Kyungsoo, and the wait was becoming heavier on her. In order to relieve stress, she took the first book she could get from the history section of the library and headed out to the gardens. It was nice to just feel the breeze clash with her rosy cheeks, and just let it calm her nerves down. The copy she had blindly chosen was one she had never seen in the years and years she frequented the library, and that encouraged her to go through the yellowed pages before choosing a story. Y/n had to stop on page one hundred and thirty-six, one with its edge slightly folded. There, a sketched portrait of an elegant woman caught her attention. Her stern look was emphasized by a set of well-defined curls that framed her clear face, big eyes, and slim nose. Her lips were pressed in a soft line as if they had been like that for a long time.

Jeon Mindae.

The one and only secret that the royals were good at hiding, but could only conceal for so long. She had noticed how even after turning twenty-one, no one was mentioning her, not even to highlight the great advances that had happened during her short reign. But now, she was about to discover the truth.

In the annals of Hwanggeum's rich history, there exists a chapter of intrigue, love, and profound change that transcends the centuries. This is the tale of Queen Jeon Mindae, whose reign is forever etched in the hearts and minds of the people, for it was marked by an extraordinary love affair and a subsequent transformation of the kingdom's destiny.

Queen Mindae, known for her benevolence and wisdom, ascended to the throne during a time of prosperity and unity. Her rule was celebrated for the well-being and happiness it brought to her subjects. Nevertheless, behind the façade of a perfect queen lay a hidden love that would change the course of Hwanggeum's history.

Unbeknownst to her court and subjects, Queen Mindae had fallen deeply in love with Kim Beomseok, a commoner she had encountered during a secret exploration of her kingdom disguised as a humble citizen. Their love, while genuine, was forbidden, as royal protocol dictated that a queen must wed a nobleman from a neighboring kingdom.

For years, Queen Mindae and Beomseok carried on their love affair in the shadows, yearning to be together openly. The burden of the crown and the expectations of the kingdom stood as barriers between them.

The climax of this tale came during a grand ball in the palace, held to celebrate Hwanggeum's prosperity. On this fateful night, Queen Mindae mysteriously vanished, plunging the kingdom into a state of chaos and confusion. Wild rumors swirled about her fate, from kidnapping to assassination, as the people sought answers.

The official proclamation, issued by the royal council, declared that Queen Mindae had forsaken her throne to elope with Beomseok, her commoner lover, relinquishing her responsibilities. Her disappearance was thus presented as a voluntary act. Hwanggeum was left in the hands of Princess Miyoung, a distant cousin, who was chosen to rule in Mindae's absence.

Yet, the official narrative failed to quell the suspicions and doubts of the kingdom's citizens. In secret gatherings and hushed conversations, the people of Hwanggeum rejected the notion that their beloved queen would willingly abandon them.

The queen's true location was never found, and a network of loyalists worked tirelessly to erase Queen Mindae of Hwanggeum’s history. However, the people of Hwanggeum yearned for her return, not to rule, but to be a symbol of love and unity. 

To this day, the last of us are patiently waiting to get a glimpse of her once again, to see her next to her beloved Beomseok, and to thank her for her transparent and wealthy rule. Queens like her are not made any longer. 

She had to be more sensitive than usual because as she read each word, the tears were uncontrollably running down her face. It was like seeing herself in the mirror, but only seeing one difference: she had been unable to run away with her true love. 

How had been Jeon Mindae’s life after vanishing? Had she been happy?

She truly hoped she was. She knew the feeling of loving someone who you are not supposed to and fighting for it to be alive even after years of waiting. It was exhausting, yet worth it, if by the end of the line she got to see him again.

Y/n kept the book pressed against her chest to the third destination of their tour, as a way to keep Jeon Mindae’s story close to her heart. If what Sehun had promised a week before was true, she was about to see Do Kyungsoo after two desperate years of sharing a bed with a stranger, pretending not to die a little with each passing day. That was not the life she had wanted for herself, but what could she do? 

Just wait, said her best friend every day. So she did just that.

But now, seeing the premises of Gyulcheon, it was like the sun was finally shining for her. Its citizens were slowly gathering around their carriage, waving at her and Hajoon, who had sported the same fake smile for the last five days. 

The city center was prepared to receive them, and the line of people who had gifts for them kept on growing as they got closer to the Palace’s entrance.

Her husband leaving the carriage first, y/n waited for Sehun to open the door for her once it was safe to do so. High-end families and generals bowed at her as she walked all the way to the Palace’s porch, and she could only smile at them with faked enthusiasm. Hajoon, awaiting her at the first step of the staircase, took her by her elbow and led her to the seatings decorated with golden and ancient figures. For the next two hours, they met Gyulcheon’s citizens who had to welcome them with gifts and offerings, a long-held tradition which the princess found pointless. Why would rich people need presents from poor, unprivileged ones? How was that even fair?

“I have to apologize My Prince, but I was only able to afford an honorable gift for My Princess”

The voice she had longed to hear for so many days, months, and years, reached her ears in an unexpected place. Her gaze pinned to her lap slowly raised to meet the eyes she had yearned to see, and the knot she had had in her throat ever since that night in the dungeons, tightened. He was as beautiful as she remembered, like time had stopped as soon as they met. Fighting back the urge to throw her arms around him, she bowed at him with her head and took a deep breath.

“You do not have to worry. I am content if my wife is.” and with that, Hajoon turned to the next peasant, who was offering him a wrapped-up gift.

“Thank you, Seongsaengnim” In a murmur, she took the laced box from his hands, trying to at least brush his fingers with hers. The shiver that she felt traveling down her spine was a sign of how strong her love for him was, even after all those years.

“Please try them as soon as you can, Your Grace. I would be devastated if they did not fit you”

His low buzz had her dancing in a cloud of her own. However, the guard that was next to him made it clear that he had to move quickly. More people were waiting behind. 

“I will, Seongsaengnim. I thank you again. It was nice to meet you” Pressing the box to her chest, she bowed at him once more, Kyungsoo copying her with an even deeper one. When they slowly rose, it was as if they had already blended their thoughts. “I love you” was whispered from both ends and a soft smile graced their faces when the man departed. 

Later that day, and alone in the chambers she was offered for her stay, she quickly headed to the corner where all their offerings had been placed. Hajoon was in a meeting, so she had time to find the only one that mattered. The laced box was hidden under the hundred packed gifts, so she had to make a big effort to retrieve it once it was on her radar. Once in her hands, waiting was no longer an option. Not even taking her time to appreciate the decorations around it, she removed the cover and tore through the white tissue paper wrap. What she found took her back to that afternoon, the afternoon that had changed her life.

The pair of shoes she had caught sight of that day were in her hands. She would never forget that soft peach silk that embraced the pair, and how those pink cherry blossom petals adorned them so delicately. With a cheeky sigh, y/n concluded that he had seen her from the moment she had set foot in the Cherry Blossom Market, when she had run to the stall, too entranced by the shoes to even care who noticed her. 

His words from the morning popped up in her mind as she ran her fingers around the shoes, and she rapidly put them on the floor to try them on. She knew he had meant something with it — the plan had to be resumed. As soon as she put them on, a relieved giggle left her lips. They were about to be together, once and for all. 

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: .☽ . :☆ﾟ. ───

“All set?”

She nodded to her husband and took Sehun’s hand to step into the carriage. Once inside, her best friend winked at her, and she had to suppress the smirk she wanted to give him in return. Nothing could make her happier than seeing him ride his horse by her window, Hajoon too preoccupied with his book to even spare her a glance.

Their long conversation was interrupted when the carriage made an unexpected stop, and her husband looked out of the window for the first time in hours “What is happening?”

As Sehun yelled “Ambush!”, everything seemed to occur in slow motion. Half a dozen men all covered in black from head to toe surrounded the wagon, one of them violently opening its entrance door as the rest engaged in physical fights with the horsed soldiers, less in number and not so much prepared to respond to such a sudden attack.

The man who opened their door was quick to take her by the arm and shove her out, not even caring to check if her clumsy fall had caused any harm to her body. Indeed it had, but she was too busy screaming for help to even notice that her wrist had twisted under her weight in her landing. “Please!” she yelled as the stranger dragged her to his horse and effortlessly sat her on its saddle. 

“y/n!” She heard Hajoon’s voice muffled by all the swording around them. When she looked behind her, the stranger had already taken his own weapon out of his scabbard, waiting for her husband to get closer. However, he was never capable of doing so — another one of the ambushers had his blade pressed to his throat. 

“Do not move.”

“Hajoon!”

Her cry was followed by her kidnapper gracefully jumping on his horse, slightly adjusting his position in front of her. Triggering movement with his heel, the brownish animal began his race right into the woods, the carriage quickly disappearing from sight. 

It was only about half an hour into their ride that y/n let herself breathe in the fresh air. His addicting scent reached her nostrils in the process, and a chuckle escaped her lips as she strongly wrapped her arms around the man. 

“I missed you” she whispered to his ear, and he squeezed her hand in his. 

“I missed you too, my love”

☾ batshit crazy ☽

☾ synopsis: kyungsoo is getting reeeal tired of your crazy schemes. ☾ featuring: do kyungsoo x gn!reader ☾ prompt: "are you- what the f*ck is that?" ☾ warnings: humor, reader is known for doing crazy things, reader and kyungsoo are married, no pronouns used, but written with a male reader in mind ☾ disclaimer: this is simply a work of fiction and does not represent kyungsoo as a person. ☾ triplejracha, 2024. please do not copy, translate, or upload to other platforms.

read hjenthusiast's version here!

kyungsoo dreads opening the text messages between you and himself. he knows it could only mean that you've done something dumb and need his help getting out of the situation.

kyungsoo reads the message you sent him and he doesn't even stop himself from rolling his eyes.

now, kyungsoo loves you. loving you comes easy to him, he's sure of that. but, of course, every single person has their flaws. yours just so happens to be picking up random animals off the side of the road (where they belong, no matter how injured they might be).

kyungsoo often wonders how he ended up marrying someone as sporadic as you. you often say he's the black cat in the relationship while you are the overly excited puppy. at first, he didn't understand your comparison but as he rereads your message, his eyes scanned the unnecessary abundance of exclamation marks and emojis that don't fit what you sent him.

i got you a present, kyungieeee!!! ��🤠🤫🤫😇

kyungsoo feels his heart beat quicker and a soft smile creeping onto his face. now, he might complain about you more than praise you, but at the end of the day, it's you who puts a smile on his face.

kyungsoo steps out of his car and takes a deep breath as he steps up to the front door of his home. he unlocks the door and is welcomed by the heavy scent of spearmint and cucumber. as the pungent scent of the spearmint hits his nostrils, the annoyance he felt on his drive home washes away.

"kyungie, are you home?" your voice calls out to him as he kicks off his shoes and sticks his feet in his houseshoes.

kyungsoo doesn't respond, he only follows your voice and finds you in the living room, lounging on the couch with some...thing swaddled in a baby blue blanket in your arms.

he doesn't even notice that you're holding something in your arms at first, he just starts talking.

"are you- what the fuck is that?"

you gasp dramatically, holding the thing closer to your chest. "kyungie, watch your language around the babies!"

kyungsoo is confused and he can feel a headache coming on. he rubs his temples and decides to approach this calmly. "y/n, you better explain yourself."

"come and look at them while i tell you how i got them!" you adjust your body to show kyungsoo what's in your arms after he plops down beside you.

kyungsoo's eyes go wide as he stares at two smaller pairs of beady black eyes look back at him. "i'm going to ask again. what the fuck are those?"

"they're baby fruit bats! which are also called-" you start saying, but your husband interrupts you.

"i don't want to know. where did you get them?" is kyungsoo's next question.

and you ramble on about how one of your close friends found some abandoned baby bats that need a place to stay and recover. you explain that your heart hurt seeing the poor things so sad and weak, that it was your duty to take care of them when their mother couldn't.

kyungsoo wonders how he married you (he allowed you to keep the baby bats until they were ready to be released).

EXO Theory Dftf (don't fight the feeling)

In this post I will try to point out and decode clues. I made some conclusions to arrange the eras in order. Let's start by analyzing the main theme.

• EXO was travelling to Exoplanet as seen in the dftf teaser pictures.

The word HISTORY is shown in several languages in the starting. The setting is similar to what we see in History mvs:

Exo evacuate EXOPLANET with the help of a spaceship. I believe that History, chronologically, happens before Dftf.

Here is Exo's Kcon Australia 2017 vcr which depicts their spacecraft was going to crash land.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by EXOPLANET (@wearexolina_)

The bright Exo logo at the end might be a symbolic representation of exoplanet. The spacecraft crash lands on one of the other extra terrestrial planets on which Power takes place. Notice how the exos don't have their powers in dftf which they acquire in the form of orbs in Power mv. Hence, Power happens after Dftf.

Now I'll talk about two main theories which lead to different conclusions for this section of the storyline:–

#1 The Emergency landing promo pics show them on different planets each representing the 6 members' (no Yixing🥲) powers. The album logo shows a radar locating the 9 members. It is also present in the vcr above. As part of their promotions, they released a game called EXO Ship Saga in which each mem has a different planet. The theme seems pretty straightforward: they travelled to different planets, maybe used escape-pods because they were going to crash land in the vcr above.

This theory might be able to explain the story of parallel universes as well as the ending of Power with Baek falling in an ocean.

#2 After reaching the planet shown in Power, they were scattered to different cities on Earth (Pathcodes) as comets seen in the beginning of Dftf. As of now, many of us are confused which of these happen in the chronology (they land in cities or on planets). They must have tried to evacuate it since the Red Force has come to know they are all together and have acquired their orbs. Let's go with the second theory: I believe Pathcode comes after Power.

Why? Proof: in Tao's pathcode, he was reading a newspaper and it said that 10 comets were visible near earth (ot10 era) hence they landed in different locations in Pathcodes.

The comet Kyungsoo saw in Dftf mv could be the one appearing in Let me In and explains their isolation in Sing For You.

At the end of Dftf mv, they approach a portal and there is falling snow in space?! This could be another hint that Sing For You comes later in the story and not before Dftf.

• In Ep 02. One giant leap teaser video, Kyungsoo is the only one who looks back with a robotic sound. Also, he is the only member emersed in green light in the concept pics of Dftf. Smth definitely seems off but we'll leave it at that for now.

From 2:56, they dance in the spaceship with some blinking red lights behind. These could be cctvs as I pointed out in Rover (mini theory) and Obsession. In this era too they are under surveillance.

• SM included easter eggs from previous releases (code numbers) which means a lot as the group has matured artistically alongwith more involvement in production and shares a great bond with their fans (releasing this album for EXO-Ls with Yixing🐑 during the drought❣️).

There were other things I wanted to discuss but due to the confusing timeline I tried my best understanding plot holes. This mv is undoubtedly connected to many others and with the possibility of parallel universes, it has become complex.

Of course I asked more questions than solving them hehe but I love Exo. Do share your thoughts & THANKS FOR READING! Also, missing SeKai😭❣️

EXO Theory Pt. 16 - I Need All 'Ya ~ Cream Soda

What a bop, SOTY, AOTY, I love EXO. The music video has too many fast cuts that it's kinda annoying to analyse, but the fast cuts really reminded me of Love Me Right and Love Shot and some other MVs that have strong dreamlike vibes - so that's fun! Anyway...

<<- First part | <- Previous part | * Masterpost

The first thing to note with this MV is that we have two sets of EXO in the MV. The colourfully dressed EXO:

And the EXO wearing black suits:

In this MV, I actually think the suited members are representing X-EXO and the colourful ones are normal EXO, so I will refer to the suited EXO members as X-EXO from here-on.

I think it's quite obvious that the brightly dressed EXO members in this MV are trapped in a dream state that they are trying to escape, as we have seen in many EXO MVs before.

We get a few different clips of the Bright!EXO members laying like this on the floor, asleep. Very reminiscent of Love Me Right.

In Love Me Right, we watch as the members take on the roles of Alice in Wonderland characters and try to escape the dream that the Red Force has put them into. In Cream Soda, we see the EXO members asleep, but not taking on characters. Instead, they are wondering around in this space that seems to me to be very cube-like.

However, we do also see EXO outside of this space. At the beginning of the MV they arrive at this fancy dinner hall where they immediately wreak havoc and destroy the layout with a skateboard.

Straight after this we see an image of X-EXO partying and a drink falling over, seemingly out of nowhere.

This is signifying to us that these two scenarios must be connected with each other; EXO cause drinks and plates to smash and fall in their scene and a drink also falls in the other X-EXO scene. So bearing that in mind, we move on.

Next, we get this scene of EXO Chen falling onto a bed and it kind of transitions to this image of some jugs and bottles under water.

From here on I think Chen sort of wakes up from the dream and takes the place of X-EXO Chen. This is sort of in keeping with this idea I've had in my theories where Chen was the spy for the Red Force, but since Let Me In, we have seen him repent and come back to the EXO's side. I think in this MV we get some more of this theory.

Once Chen falls into the X-EXO space, we watch a scene of X-EXO Chanyeol and Kyungsoo playing chess, and we see a clip of 'X-EXO' Chen playing cards.

The chess game gets interrupted by somebody putting their drink on the table. I cannot tell who it is, but the significance of chess is still quite interesting. We've seen chess in a few different places, most notably in the Tempo MV where we see Xiumin and Kyungsoo play and their chess game creates the cube which the EXO members reenter to try and solve the puzzle to escape. The cube is a tool of the Red Force, even if the members do need it in the Tempo MV. We also see chess in Obsession where we watch EXO and X-EXO Chen play against each other.

Chess is clearly used as a symbol of the Red Force, we even see chess pieces in one opening VCR to the MAMA 2016 performance which was heavily lore based.

The card game that Chen is playing is significant in the overall storyline for Cream Soda because we get the reveal later in the MV that Chen actually played the Joker card. Just before this, we get a clip of Xiumin dropping a drop of his glass and it shows us the members aimlessly wandering in the cube like space again.

Chen then sets the Joker card on fire and we see the EXO members from just seconds before begin to celebrate.

Right after this we then see this image of a wine glass smashing to the ground - which again, is signifying this idea that as the EXO members win this round, the X-EXO members lose (as the wine glass is definitely from the X-EXO member scenes).

Not long after this we also see time go backwards; at the beginning of the MV we get a close up of someone's watch which ticks forward a second. At the end of the MV, it ticks back a second again, resetting time.

We then also see Baekhyun and Kyungsoo leave the setting looking very pleased with themselves.

Baekhyun and Kyungsoo are shown in another few clips together as well, so clearly the two of them were up to something in this MV.

This duo actually really reminded me of the two of them in The War comics - as the two of them are the ones monitoring the other members and giving them instructions in that comic. I wonder if they were the ones that told Jongdae to go over to the X-EXO side and be the spy for them in this MV. As Chen seems to be the reason that they have got free and escaped from this scenario at least. We don't actually see any of the other members escape though, so maybe only Kyungsoo and Baekhyun did in this one. Hmm..

It could also be that the two were responsible for telling Suho to talk to the girl we see in the MV as well. Before I have been over how I think girls are significant in the EXO MVs - they are almost always a representative of the Red Force.

I wonder if Suho is distracting the Red Force from noticing that Chen has replaced X-EXO Chen in the other universe. We do see cream running down the car and blocking all the windows, blocking her sight, so that could make sense.

As I said before, we end the MV with the watch ticking backwards, in line with the Let Me In and Hear Me Out MVs where time was a pivotal theme of the MVs. I think it's less so here, but I do think it's still important that time was reversed back to the beginning of the MV, but now with Kyungsoo and Baekhyun freed. It could be that we will now get a continuation of that damn The War comic as it's driving me mad we still have nothing??? It's been 6 years SM c'mon!

Anyway we mustn't ignore the most important part of the MV:

These amazing outfits and the amazing dance. Not at all lore significant, but it did need to be noted.

Tbh this video really isn't lore heavy - it's mostly aesthetics and dancing. Not complaining, but not much to really read into imo. Hope it was somewhat interesting anyway! See you in 3 years when EXO has another comeback lmao 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Unexpected

Genre: drama, comedy

Warning: many facts changed for story development purposes!

This is a fanfic based on Doh KyungSoo(D.O. from EXO) Expectations Highlight Medley. I was fascinated by the story in the video and as a person with a vivid imagination, I started to develop the topic in my head to such an extent that I needed to write it down. Please be aware I am not a professional writer, this was created for fun!

The story is much longer than in the medley so I'll separate it into a few chapters.

I hope you will enjoy the ride! ❤️

Prologue

"...we were strong,

The strongest it was ever possible...

We were the mountain in the middle of a dark ocean of the wildest woods,

The enchanted future we expected to spend together...

...ah...

...why...?

How did we end up like this...?"

The voice of a young man rumbled with bitterness in his head. He didn't hear anything else. Walking on nighttime empty streets of Seoul's suburbs. This dark street, barely lightened by old lamps, was carrying another memory. Every corner of this town did. KyungSoo, that was his name, the man whose eyes still could see her walking next to him. His world just crumbled apart...

Chapter 1

Under the cut 👇🏻

-... I was thinking of asking you, but that's not a good idea *ha ha ha* - A loud laugh just shattered on the white corridor walls. Doors in also white color were open. Inside the changing room for celebrities, two men were chatting together. Best friends, discussing the latest events. The room's walls were white coffee colors. In the center, there were two sets of white couches and black, wood tables facing each other as in the mirror image, creating a footpath just in between. On the wall, opposite the doors was a long row of wood tables and black chairs scattered around like whoever was using them forgot to slide them back under. Above the tables were mirrors, hung next to each other. On the right side was a long stand with clothes prepared for the next idol's performance.

- You'd make my song too emotional, can't be bothered with that - laughed the tall one sitting on the first chair from right side. His name was Chanyeol, KyungSoo's best friend. Kyungsoo was sitting at the table on the left side of the room. He was smiling but his eyes were telling about irritation.

- Because the lyrics are about the difficult breakup, it should be emotional... Creams are happy with their songs...- said with an unmoved tone.

- Right! They are doing great, I swear! - Chanyeol admitted while pointing his fingers at the door as if this girl group was standing there. - you fitted the songs so well for them -

- Because they're not "fitted", the manager banned me from giving any archive songs, so I had to create new ones, especially for Creams -

- That's bad, I bet you have lots of great songs written, but can't use them - After saying those words Chanyeol's smile disappeared from his face and he continued - are you planning to use them for yourself? - looked at KyungSoo and the silence fell over the room. KyungSoo was gazing at his hands while looking for the best answer:

- No...It's fine, they will be waiting for the next idol...-

- Bollocks!- a friend raised voice while swinging his head forward - You'd be great! but...- then leaned comfortably on the chair - anyways...it's your decision. Do whatever you want - and stopped here, as he knew he'd say too much if he would continue.

KyungSoo without any further discussion stood from his seat and started to walk to the doors, asking: are you going?

Chanyeol then smiled and did the same. When they opened the door, just at this moment the girl group walked by together with two men looking like security. Both are tall, well-built, and equipped with a utility belt and black body armor.

Just behind the 5 young girls, the manager was walking. Middle height, middle age. Wrinkles under his eyes were representing more of his personality than age. He glanced at KyungSoo for a long second and suddenly smirked while turning his head forward. Kyungsoo was just watching him without any visible reaction. Then, both he and Chanyeol stepped outside of the room and followed the group.

*click click click*

the sound echoed in the corridor.

- Chanyeol! Oh God, this is unbelievable! -

a female voice shouted. She suddenly appeared next to the friend's couple, this maybe 25 or 28-year-old girl, and started to take pictures with the camera. Chanyeol was posing while KyungSoo stepped back so he wouldn't be in view. She reacted:

- What are you doing? Come here! - and pointed by her hand on the spot next to his friend.

- I'm not an idol though-

- Sorry, what's your name? -

- Doh KyungSoo- he almost whispered

- It's shocking! I thought you're one of the idols, you look great - she smiles after finishing the sentence.

- I'm going first, can't be late, OK? - said Chanyeol and waved his hand in a "goodbye" manner then walked away.

The photographer needed a longer time to consider what she should do from now on.

- You're not going with them? - asked after long seconds.

- I'm not in a hurry, the performance will be later - and smiled shyly at her, waiting for a reaction.

- I should go because I still have a lot of content to do. See you later! - and she runs forward, slowly disappearing from his view. He was standing in silence for a long second, then decided to move as well.

Later, in the control booth, KyungSoo together with 3 other staff was preparing for the performance which will take place next 20 minutes. KyungSoo standing in the back, looking at the other coworkers, making sure everything is under control.

- Don't...!- he raised his voice but then hesitated - ...Don't use the middle lamp, it will make them dazzle, it's too strong -

- Oh, you're right. Sorry! - answered the one sitting on the left side of the controller and twisted one of the caps. KyungSoo came near and looked at the soundboard.

- That should be ok - said and raised his head to look at the scene behind the wide window. The view was incredible. Hundreds of seats in red colour as well as the carpet. Approximately 10 step stairs led to a stage top, 2 pairs, one on the left, second on the right. The massive curtains that split the stage and hidden the other half were in navy blue colour. Suddenly, the door was opened and the photographer girl from before came in.

- Hi, would you mind if I make a few shots? -

All of them looked at her with many questions in their eyes.

- What for? - finally, the one sitting just at the right end of the controller broke the silence.

She smiled happily and said:

- It's mostly for my portfolio, but we may be using them later, of course with your permission only! - then stuck her camera to her smiling face and pressed the button to make a picture.

KyungSoo wasn't happy. He looked at the girl resentfully, but when he was about to start talking, the doors opened again...

It was the manager, who casually walked in.

Without any word, he stood next to KyungSoo and looked behind the window, then started:

- All prepared? -

- Yes, we just finished. The program is starting next 5 minutes, we are ready -

Then manager looked at KyungSoo out of the corner of his eye.

- Did you imagine?...- he grunted. Surprised KyungSoo asked: Excuse me?

- Did you imagine yourself there? - those words were like a knife straight into KyungSoo's heart. He barely managed to stay calm:

- Why would I do such a thing? -

- We both know this could have been your stage, but with your attitude, we would need a mask or dubler - then smiled like it was the best joke he could ever think of.

- You would be hidden behind the scenes and gi...-

- Can you...!- KyungSoo interrupted him, but backed off the next second, then finished with a low tone voice:

- It's not the best time, leave it manager Kim...-

The smile wasn't coming off the manager's face, but he did do as he was told. KyungSoo suddenly turned around and saw the photographer still standing there with a frightened face.

- Do you need to be here? - asked. She then, without any word opened the door and walked away.

The performance was glamorous. Creams have shown spectacular shows and gathered hundreds of fans cheering for them singing their producer's songs. After the show, the audience started to walk away, and staff rolled up the equipment or cleaned the stage. Two friends, Chanyeol and KyungSoo walked into the theatre by the backstage doors. Suddenly, Chanyeol stopped:

- KyungSoo-yah, sorry! - and fold his hands as if in prayer - I forgot I promised Sue I'll show her some things online and take her back home, you know what I mean - and stick out his tongue flirtatiously

- Sorry, I promise I'll pay you back double for today! - and run back to the backstage leaving KyungSoo alone.

He wasn't upset, he wasn't even sure if he was bothered about it. This was a long, difficult day and the only thing he wished for was going back home and lying in his comfy bed. He turned around and walked towards the main entrance, but then...sudden hunch told him to stop. In the middle row, just on the first seat next to him was the photographer girl, looking at the camera and sliding photos. She wept silently...her right hand was holding her head widely to cover part of her face. KyungSoo looked at her in silence, why the sudden need to speak to her? It's not his business, and they don't know each other...why the hesitation to just walk away?

- What? - she asked, while still covering her face and looking at the camera. KyungSoo was looking for the best question to ask. Then after a couple of seconds, he goes:

- You're not going home? -

It wasn't the best choice of question, but it just flew somehow from his mouth, surprising himself.

- ...are you hungry?- she asked without moving an inch from her last position, making him step back and open his eyes widely out of shock:

- W..well...I didn't plan it, but I can grab a takeaway if...that's OK? - almost whispered, still mesmerized. Suddenly she smiled and looked at him:

- Then let's go, what was your name again? KyungSoo, the producer of Creams? I like it! My name is YiSeul, the photographer in training - she smiled gracefully even though the tears were still lying gently on her cheeks. That made him smile happily for a second. This wasn't in the scenario. Meeting her that day wasn't planned at all, but even if he was tired, this new colleague seemed like the best companion after this long, demanding day.

It's only today! They will never meet again, so why not?

Won't they?

well i'm not sure i even remember what most houses were supposed to represent but baekhyun is NOT a gryffindor lmao. chanyeol got him and ksoo wrong

gryffindor: chanyeol, jongdae. that definitely tracks.

slytherin: baekhyun, sehun. kyungsoo is not a slytherin just because he's grumpy.

ravenclaw: junmyeon, kyungsoo

hufflepuff: minseok, kai

Kyungsoo, Kai and Sehun's soulmate reading

Last trio for the exo soulmate reading! I had fun doing these readings, I hope you enjoyed them too!

Disclaimer:

My readings are made for fun and you should read them for fun too. So don't take them seriously.

Kyungsoo

Cards: the moon, rev page of swords, queen of swords, gift, success, creativity

In this case, I think this person is someone you might call a friend, someone ready to listen to you and ready to give you good advice.

Seeing all these cards, I think Kyungsoo really rely on this friend.

For example, if he gets a new job offer he might ask them if it’s a good idea to do it.

This person, even though they might not belong to the industry, is very supportive, so they might really give him a lot confidence and reassurance.

“Yes, you can do it”, “What are you worrying about, your fans love you”, I feel this type of energy here.

Because of this encouragement, Kyungsoo is able to try out new experiences, learn new things, reach new audiences and by consequence, get more successful. We know that he’s going through a great change now that he’s leaving SM and we saw him trying new things these past months, so I think that it’s also the positive influence of this person that gave him the confidence to go out of his comfort zone.

I’m unsure if this person works with him, so if he truly gives him practical advice or if they don’t belong to the industry and just really support him like a good friend.

Either way it's really a cute friendship that brings Kyungsoo a lot of clarity and harmony.

Kai

Cards: ace of swords, rev 7 of swords, queen of swords, volition, success, fear

This person is like a counselor for him. 

Similarly to Suho, I feel they’re not *that* close, not relatives or actual friends, but it’s a person that nonetheless has a good influence on him.

I tend to think it’s an older person, maybe a woman. 

They might be a coworker that gives him suggestions or guide him.

This person seems halfway between Suho’s teacher and Kyungsoo’s friend.

I truly think this person is a coworker, something like a manager, so they aren’t too close on a personal level, but this person encourages Kai a lot.

There’s a lot of ambition here.

Contrary to what I felt with Kyungsoo, it’s not really Kai saying “I received this opportunity what do you think?” but it’s this person that proposes jobs to him.

Success was definitely achieved as we can all see, but the last card shows the other side of the coin of his journey.

To achieve success and grow, you have to go out of your comfort zone. I assume that Kai might feel overwhelmed sometimes, maybe during those ten minutes before stepping on the stage or before the camera turns on he might ask himself "can I really do it?"

He might feel he isn't good enough or worth of his success.

The role of this figure is also to encourage him to avoid these negative feelings.

Sehun

Cards: 10 of cups, rev emperor, rev page of pentacles, choice, trial, bridge

10 of cups might imply a love relationship.

This person might be older than him or someone that somehow has some sort of authority. This person has a strong presence and probably takes care of a lot of aspects in Sehun’s life.

Pretty much like Chanyeol, he will probably have to make a choice regarding this relationship, in this case he chooses to stay with his partner.

If this person is truly an authority figure for him, then several issues may arise (hence Sehun having to make a choice and decide if it's worth staying with them or if it's better to break up).

Which is where the Trial card appears. The card represents a knight fighting a big dragon.

For example, let’s say Sehun happens to work on a drama and his partner is a senior actor or the director. People around them might feel that he got the job just because he’s the lover of a powerful person.

I’m getting a lot of relaxed energy from Sehun’s part, so this means he either doesn’t give a single f*ck to what people might say or his partner is actively shielding him from malicious comments, so he isn’t fully aware of it. Or it might be both.

It might also mean that some paparazzi caught them already, but his partner is so powerful/rich they're able to stop them from leaking the news.

The last card truly points me to a situation of stability, on the outside there might be a big dragon that causes problems, but between them there’s the calm waters that flow below a bridge on a sunny day.

✨bias tag game✨

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

tagged by: @wonhosgrl (thank u <3)

Rhi’s biases:

Yuta (nct)

Choi In (e’last)

Momo (twice)

Hani (exid)

dpr ian (solo)

Hwiyoung (sf9)

Ryujin (itzy)

Arem (rolling quartz)

Kyungsoo (exo)

Winter (aespa)

questions:

1. Between 7 & 5, who did you bias first? it’s a very close call, but I think Ryujin. I remember watching videos of Christian from my instagram and youtube recommendations before he started putting out music, but I don’t think that really counts.

2. Between 2 & 6, who are you more attached to? damnnnn 😔 that’s tough. I’m gonna say Choi In because I knew he’d be my bias as soon as I saw him. However with sf9 my biases kinda went around a bit before i landed on Hwi.

3. If you were to spend the day with either 3 or 1, who would you choose and what would you do? broooooo these are so hard to answer. Honestly I think I’d be wayyy to shy around Momo so I’ll pick Yuta <3. I would love to just spend a day out in nature with him !!! We could go to Washington Island 🥹 (sorry I’m making these answers so long)

4. What’s your favorite physical feature about 9? Ksoo has a beautiful nose.. idk what else to say lol

5. What is your favorite part of 6’s personality? I love how he seems so quiet and reserved, but he’s just as much of a goofball as the rest of them :)

6. If you were to tell 8 anything you wanted, what would you tell them? I would tell her that I really appreciate what her and the rest of the group represent for that genre of music, but she shouldn’t let it pressure her because she’s so talented that she makes it seem effortless (idk if that makes sense)

7. Between 1 & 2, whose closet would you raid? Yuta 100%. We have pretty much the same style.

8. What is a style you want to see 3 try? Just for funsies I want Momo to dress like a scene queen. I think she could really pull it off.

9. Between 5 & 4, who are you closer to in height? Hani, she’s only 3 inches taller.

10. Between 10 & 9, whose music do you like the best? Oh no 😭 this isn’t fair to Winter. I have to pick Ksoo though because between exo & his solo music it’s so much better than aespa’s music. She’s so talented though, I blame sm for the lack of quality in songs.

okayy i will tag @cutieboos @xumoonhao @creaminmysoda @shalalayong @demoncheol @strhwaberries @224-12 (only if u want to 😖)

[oosiaksworld]

Kyungsoo represents me when I saw this image of Jongin... He is so gorgeous. 🐻🥵😵🥴

Between Shadows and Light Ch 1

Being evil was no easy task, but for Mirae, it was a way of life—a way of life she cherished and wouldn't trade for anything. Mirae was what people called a Gumiho, or a nine-tailed fox, though the name varied across cultures. To most, she was a mythical creature, a being of lore, only existing in stories. But what they didn't know was that her kind still existed, though their numbers had dwindled over the years. Mirae's kind could fall in love, but doing so meant becoming the very thing they hunted: humans. Thankfully, Mirae had never let that happen... yet.

Mirae had always been something of an outcast, but she did have a family. Well, they weren't really her family, but they had taken her in when she was just a child. They found her wandering the streets after she had preyed upon a man who was out for "a little fun." She wasn't one to target the innocent; she had a code. She only hunted those who had wronged others or committed crimes.

In Mirae's world, the lines between good and evil weren't drawn by birth, but by choice. Most creatures like her were born human, chosen at random to become something else. But a rare few were born pure—what they called Royals or Pure Bloods. These beings, rulers of her kind, were fallen angels with a mix of both good and dark qualities. It was they who accepted Mirae as one of their own and brought her into their fold.

Luhan, the eldest, was the embodiment of lust in their family. He was the only Pure Blood among them, but he had run away from home at a young age, unwilling to live the life of royalty. His parents had searched for him relentlessly but eventually gave up, letting him live his own way. He was an instigator, always stirring up trouble. Short-tempered and slow to trust, Luhan didn't always play by the rules. But he loved his family fiercely, protecting them at all costs. He was the one who found Mirae and took her in—she owed him everything.

Chen, who represented greed, was discovered by Luhan in an alley, lost and confused. Chen was a prankster, always up to mischief, and a thief at heart. His greed knew no bounds—he took whatever he could, whether it was material things or lives. He had a cruel habit of torturing his prey before trapping their souls in jars, never letting them pass on to heaven or hell. He called it Purgatory.

Yixing, also known as Lay, embodied envy. He had been desperate to train under Luhan when they first met, refusing to stop pestering him until Luhan agreed. Now, he was one of the best fighters among them, but his envy often led him into conflict, especially with Chen. He constantly longed for things he didn't have, and when jealousy took over, it would drive him into a violent frenzy, believing that killing would somehow make up for his perceived shortcomings.

Baekhyun represented pride, and he was the embodiment of arrogance. He could never admit when he was wrong, convinced that he was always right. His pride often made him difficult to deal with, especially since he would never apologize for his actions. Despite his cockiness, Baekhyun was still loyal to the family and, to them, that was enough.

Kyungsoo, or D.O., represented wrath. His temper was legendary—when he lost control, it was as if a storm unleashed inside him. He had a dangerous, violent side that led him to tear apart everything in his path, including his own family. He once attacked Chen so severely that everyone thought Chen might not survive. Even now, Kyungsoo carried the guilt of what he had done, and though Chen forgave him, there was an unspoken distance between them.

Chanyeol, the embodiment of deceit, was a smooth talker and a master manipulator. He could convince anyone to do anything, and for a while, he used his charm to deceive and trick others. It wasn't until Luhan and the rest of the family got to know him that they saw through his lies, and he eventually stopped trying to manipulate them. But Chanyeol still had the ability to trick almost anyone—though his true loyalty was to his family.

Their family was dysfunctional, to say the least. They fought, bickered, and argued, but no matter what, they always had each other's backs. Family was family, and nothing would ever change that. Even in their chaos, they had a bond stronger than anything.

But unbeknownst to them, their family was about to grow.

Mirae's best friend was an unlikely and dangerous companion. Fei, an angel, was the opposite of everything Mirae had known, yet they had formed an inseparable bond. Their friendship had begun by chance. One day, Mirae had gone out for a stroll, looking to cause some mischief, when she spotted Fei, frantically washing her hands in a creek. Fei was clearly in distress, scrubbing her hands with increasing desperation. Mirae watched her for a moment, a flicker of pity stirring inside her—something she had never felt before.

Mirae had originally planned to attack the girl, but something about Fei made her change her mind. She approached the angel, curious, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Fei's tear-streaked face startled Mirae as she looked into the angel's eyes, filled with raw pain. "He's dead! And I killed him!" Fei screamed, her voice breaking. Fresh tears flooded her cheeks as she held out her hands, showing Mirae the blood staining her skin.

Mirae was taken aback. Death, killing—it was something Mirae had always known. It was part of who she was. But this... this girl in front of her was something entirely different. She was pure—an angel. Mirae knelt beside Fei, placing a hand on her trembling shoulder. "Who's dead?" she asked, her voice soft.

Fei pointed behind Mirae at the lifeless body. Mirae turned around, seeing a man lying on the ground with an arrow protruding from his bloody chest. When she turned back, she gently hugged Fei, who had started crying. Mirae whispered comforting words while stroking the girl's long, dark brown hair. Eventually, Fei went silent and limp in Mirae's arms. Mirae, fearing she was hurt, pulled away and checked on her, only to find that Fei had simply fallen asleep.

Determined to help Fei, Mirae decided to take her home to rest, knowing it was risky but not caring. She was sure she'd convince the others to leave the girl alone. After some time, Mirae successfully persuaded the guys that Fei meant no harm, and they reluctantly agreed. Sympathy was something new to the group, but Mirae appreciated it. She tucked Fei into the spare bed in her room and set out clothes for her to change into. Once Mirae had gotten ready for bed, she crawled into her own and quickly fell asleep.

Weeks later, as Mirae continued to care for Fei, she learned more about her mysterious companion. One morning, a couple of weeks after their first meeting in the woods, Fei was sitting in the backyard with Mirae when a sharp pain pierced her back between her shoulder blades. Crying out in agony, Fei collapsed into Mirae's arms, unable to respond to her frantic questions. The pain became unbearable, and after a tense moment, pure white wings shot out from Fei's back, releasing the tension and pain.

Mirae was taken aback, as were the other guys who had come outside to see what was happening. They stared at Fei in disbelief, while she sighed in relief, sitting up and meeting their shocked gazes. Fear washed over Fei, her eyes pleading for understanding, and Mirae stepped forward, placing her hand on Fei's before transforming into a fox. Fei stared, wide-eyed, as the medium-sized white fox sat beside her, its paw gently resting on the same spot where Mirae had been.

Once Mirae reverted to her human form, she reassured Fei, explaining who she was and who the others were. She told Fei that neither she nor the guys would harm her. However, Luhan remained unconvinced. He wanted Fei gone, but the others defended her, and after a tense standoff, he reluctantly agreed, though he made it clear he wanted nothing to do with her. This marked a turning point in their relationship.

"What's your name?" Mirae asked softly, introducing herself first. "I'm Mirae, and these are the guys: Baekhyun, Chen, Chanyeol, Yixing, Kyungsoo, and Luhan."

"Fei," the girl whispered.

Luhan, however, was furious. "Don't tell her our names!" he yelled, stepping forward. "She could return to her kind, reveal where we are, and get us killed!"

"But Luhan, we trust her. We can feel that she's different," Mirae said, trying to calm him down.

"I'm not changing my mind," Luhan snapped, his anger palpable. "I don't ever want to see her again."

"Dude, that's harsh!" Chanyeol interjected. "I know she's an angel, but Mirae's right. She's not like the others. Give her a chance!"

Luhan's gaze hardened as he shot back, "SHUT UP! Just be glad I'm allowing her to live!" With that, he stormed off, slamming the door behind him, the force of it shaking the walls.

The others exchanged glances, shocked by Luhan's outburst. Mirae sighed and looked back at Fei, whose fear was evident. A few tears slipped down her cheeks, and Mirae's heart ached for her.

"Maybe I should leave. I'm clearly not wanted here," Fei said, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'm the enemy."

Mirae quickly steadied the exhausted girl as she attempted to stand. "Don't say that," she said gently. "You're safe here."

Baekhyun stepped forward, wrapping his arm around Fei's wrist. "Don't worry," he said softly. "No one here is going to hurt you."

Fei couldn't finish her sentence before she collapsed, unconscious from exhaustion. Baekhyun caught her and carried her upstairs, where they laid her down in Mirae's room, deciding that it would be best for Fei to be near another girl.

After a few hours, Mirae sat with the others in the living room, reflecting on the situation. "Do you really think she killed that man?" Kyungsoo asked, his concern obvious.

"I don't know," Baekhyun replied, "but we'll ask her when she's ready to talk."

As they headed to bed, Mirae silently entered her room, checking on Fei. The girl was still sleeping, peaceful for the moment, but Mirae knew that she would need to address the events soon. Laying in her own bed, Mirae glanced over at Fei, then turned her gaze out the window, drifting into a deep sleep.

But in the middle of the night, Mirae was awoken by loud shouting. Her heart raced as she saw Fei, wide-eyed and holding a knife. The others had gathered in the living room, trying to calm her down.

"Please, Fei, drop the knife," Yixing said, raising his hands in a peaceful gesture.

Fei's eyes were frantic, and Mirae slowly approached. "It's okay," she said softly. "I promise no one will hurt you."

Fei flinched at Mirae's voice, gripping the knife tighter. She began swinging it wildly, and Mirae was struck across the arm, blood flowing from the wound. Before anyone could react, Luhan rushed forward, grabbing Fei and restraining her with surprising strength. He held her tightly, his body tense with effort.

"Let me go!" Fei screamed, struggling against him.

"Shut up! I'm stopping you from hurting anyone!" Luhan shouted, his voice full of frustration.

Fei glared at him. "Why do you care if I get hurt? You hate me!"

Luhan's grip tightened, but in a moment of distraction, Fei broke free, tripping on Luhan's foot and falling to the ground. Her hand landed on the knife, cutting her palm. She didn't react to the pain, her attention fixated on the blood pooling around her hand.

Luhan, though stern, was not unaffected by what had just happened. He had begun to care for Fei more than he was willing to admit. His actions, however harsh, were meant to protect her—though he couldn't let anyone know that just yet.

"See?" Luhan said, his voice dripping with annoyance. "This is why I restrained you. Hopefully, this fit is over so we can all get some sleep."

With that, he stormed off to his room, leaving a stunned silence in his wake. The others, still reeling from the chaos, made sure Mirae was tended to, her wound cleaned and bandaged.

Kyungsoo knelt beside Fei, gently lifting her wounded hand. "We need to take care of that," he said softly. "Are you okay?"

Fei glanced at her hand, the pain now fully registering. She nodded silently as Kyungsoo helped her to her feet. Leaning on him for support, she allowed him to guide her back to Mirae's room. He retrieved the first aid kit from the bathroom and carefully began to clean and stitch her palm. Though Fei could have numbed the pain, she chose not to—feeling it was a punishment for what she had done to Mirae and the others. She winced as he worked, the pain sharp but bearable, trying not to make a sound.

"I'm sorry... to all of you. I didn't mean to. I hope Mirae's okay," she whispered, pulling her injured hand back into her lap, ashamed.

"It's alright," Kyungsoo reassured her with a gentle smile as he finished bandaging her hand. "No one's angry, and Mirae will be just fine. Yixing is taking care of her right now."

Fei's eyes flickered with concern. "But what about Luhan?"

Kyungsoo's smile faded a little. "Don't worry about him. He's been a little more... relaxed. Maybe he's just tired. But still, I'd avoid him for now."

Fei nodded, feeling a slight sense of relief. She watched him finish cleaning up, then lay down on the bed, pulling the covers up to her chin. As the room grew quiet, she heard the door creak open. Not bothering to turn her head, she listened as someone tiptoed around and climbed into the bed opposite hers. The soft tick of the clock on the dresser was the only sound in the room as Fei stared at the ceiling, her heart still heavy with guilt. Tears began to form again, blurring her vision, and before she could stop them, they rolled down her cheeks. She quickly wiped them away, but more fell in their place.

"Are you okay, Fei?" a soft voice called from the other side of the room.

Fei sniffled, blinking rapidly to clear her eyes. "I'm fine. I'm sorry."

"There's no need to apologize. I'm okay, and Kyungsoo told me what happened," Mirae said quietly from the other side.

"I'm sorry," Fei repeated, her voice barely a whisper before exhaustion overtook her, and she drifted into sleep.

Mirae sighed softly, realizing that Fei had already fallen asleep. "There's no need to apologize to family, Fei," she murmured, rolling over carefully so as not to hurt her arm. She closed her eyes, letting sleep take over.

The next morning, Mirae woke up at her usual time for their hunting trip with the guys. She dressed quickly, making sure not to disturb Fei, then rushed downstairs to join the others. Once everyone was ready, they set off for their usual hunting ground. Today's pickings were slim, but they quickly identified their targets. Mirae, sensing a man who was a drug addict and abuser of his girlfriend, decided to follow him.

As she trailed behind him, the man turned briefly but didn't notice her, continuing on his way. He stopped at the end of a dark alley, distracted by his phone. Mirae knew this was her moment. She crept up behind him, pretending to be lost. When she tapped him on the shoulder, he turned around with a smirk, his eyes immediately scanning her body.

"Can you help me? I'm lost, and my phone's dead," Mirae said, batting her lashes and playing the helpless role.

The man grinned. "Sure, sweetheart. Where do you need to go? I can take you there."

"That would be great, thanks," Mirae replied, following him back down the alley.

As soon as he turned his back, Mirae grabbed a piece of wood from the ground and struck him over the head, knocking him to the ground. He groaned in pain but tried to rise, shock in his eyes. Mirae smiled cruelly and leaned in close, her face inches from his. Before he could react, she grabbed his head, twisting it sharply. A sickening snap echoed through the alley as his neck broke, and his body fell lifeless to the ground. She made sure to stage the scene as a drug deal gone wrong before walking away to meet the others.

As she approached the group, she could hear them bickering about who had the best kill. It was a routine they'd had for months, always ending with Mirae as the victor. She missed when Luhan used to hunt with them, but for some reason, he'd been hunting alone lately.

"You're really a vamp, Mirae. Well done," Baekhyun teased, nudging her with a grin.

"Yeah, no guy can resist your charm," Chen chimed in, smirking.

Mirae laughed along, shaking her head as they continued to joke about her allure and how every guy seemed to fall for her, whether she wanted them to or not. She glanced up at the sky as the sun began to rise, filling the sky with shades of pink, purple, and blue. Watching the sunrise had always been something she loved, and she dreamed of one day sharing it with someone she cared about. But she knew, deep down, that day might never come.

"Alright, guys, let's head home," she said, pushing herself to her feet.

After a short walk back to the house, Mirae was surprised to find Fei's bed empty. A wave of worry hit her, and she immediately began searching the house. When she couldn't find Fei inside, she stepped outside and saw her sitting on the tree swing, her feet slowly pushing off the ground as she watched the sunrise.

Mirae smiled softly, heading back inside to let Fei have her moment. Fei stayed there until the sky was fully lit, watching the birds fly across the horizon. As she heard footsteps approaching, she turned to see Chanyeol walking toward her, a smile on his face as he joined her in silence, both of them observing the peaceful scene.

"Are you hungry? Breakfast is ready," Chanyeol asked after a few moments.

Fei nodded silently, standing up and following him inside. The smell of freshly cooked food—sausage, eggs, and pancakes—filled the air as they entered the kitchen. Fei grabbed a plate and joined the others at the table, but there was no seat for her with the group. She felt like an outsider despite their reassurances, so she chose to sit at the kitchen island alone.

She had always felt like an outcast, even among her own kind. Her family, though close, had always been different from the others. Her family consisted of six other angels: Xiumin, Jongin (Kai), Sehun, Suho, Kris, and Tao. They had grown up separately but had always felt like outsiders, different from the other angels. Together, they had decided to live as a family, so they wouldn't feel so alone. They had powers—powers that were considered unnatural, even demonic—making them even more isolated. Fei was grateful for her family, but she couldn't help but feel the weight of being different, always standing apart from everyone else.

Xiumin could freeze things, Jongin had the power to teleport, Sehun controlled the wind, Suho could manipulate water, Kris could fly (which was rare among angels), and Tao had the extraordinary ability to stop time. Fei, on the other hand, had the gift of hearing people's thoughts—especially their deepest, darkest ones—and could communicate mentally. Though she only used this power with the guys, at first, it had felt more like a curse than a blessing. It was uncontrollable, and she would hear everything, whether she wanted to or not. Over time, she learned how to filter the thoughts that came into her mind, but sometimes, their intensity made it impossible to shut them out. She just wished she could tell them that she was safe.

Fei poked at her eggs with a fork, deep in thought. She missed the guys terribly—Xiumin, Jongin, Sehun, Suho, Kris, Tao—but felt torn. She couldn't stay here forever, but how would she even get back to them? She didn't know where she was, or how to go home. She was sure she wasn't in danger here, but she also sensed she was being heavily guarded. The feeling of being trapped made her heart heavy.

Finishing her plate of food and drinking her juice, Fei was lost in her thoughts when a hand landed gently on her shoulder. She looked up and found Mirae smiling down at her.

"Why didn't you sit with us? We would've made room for you," Mirae asked, sitting beside her.

Fei shook her head slightly. "I didn't want to intrude. I don't belong here... I'm an angel, remember?"

Mirae's smile softened, and she placed a hand on Fei's. "Fei, you do belong here. You're a guest and a friend, and we all care about you. Don't let that label make you feel out of place. Besides, don't you think our kind could coexist? I believe we can, and we're proof that it's possible."

Fei sighed, her gaze dropping. "I've always wondered that too. But it always feels like it's either light or dark, good or bad. Why can't there be a gray area where we can all exist together?"

Mirae tilted her head, thoughtful. "I understand. I do. But remember that things are changing, slowly but surely. Look at Luhan. He could have killed you that night, but he didn't. He protected all of us, even you. Maybe, just maybe, there's hope for us all."

Mirae gave Fei a quick hug and then walked back to the dining room to clear her dishes, leaving Fei to her thoughts.

Fei closed her eyes, concentrating. She connected to Xiumin's mind and sent a quick message: I'm safe here. I'll find my way back to you all soon. Please don't worry. A few moments later, she felt Xiumin's presence and heard his reply: We miss you, and we're glad you're safe. Wherever you are, be careful. We'll see you soon.

Fei let out a small breath and disconnected. She had no answers for where she was or how to return, but at least the guys knew she was okay. That was a start.

The rest of the day passed slowly for Fei. She spent her time reading or watching TV in her room, occasionally sitting outside, watching the others go about their lives. Though she wanted to join in, she still felt like an outsider. Mirae had been gone all day, and Fei hadn't felt as included without her. But it was nearing the evening, and Fei knew it was time to talk to Mirae.

"Mirae, can I talk to you?" Fei asked, catching Mirae as she was cleaning the room.

"Of course," Mirae answered, looking up from her task.

Fei hesitated for a moment before speaking. "I really appreciate everything you and the others have done for me... but I miss my family. I think it's time for me to go back home."

Mirae paused, sadness flashing across her face. "I knew this day would come," she said softly. "You can go, but promise me you'll stay in touch, okay?"

Fei nodded and quickly scribbled her phone number down on a scrap of paper, handing it to Mirae. "I'll miss you," she whispered.

"I'll miss you too," Mirae said, her voice thick with emotion. "Let's meet in the woods, where we found you. Every evening, okay?"

"Deal," Fei replied, smiling faintly.

Later that night, the two girls stayed up talking, watching movies, and enjoying each other's company. It was a rare moment of peace in a world that was always complicated. Fei was grateful for Mirae's friendship, and as Mirae finally fell asleep, Fei took the chance to write a thank you note. After folding it, she tucked it under one of the books on Mirae's bedside table.

Fei climbed into bed and pulled the blankets up to her chin. As she closed her eyes, she drifted into a peaceful sleep, knowing it was time to say goodbye.

The next morning, Fei awoke early. She quietly gathered her things, scribbling a quick note for the others, explaining why she had to leave. After placing the note on Mirae's bedside table, she slipped out of the house without a sound. The front door creaked softly as she stepped outside and walked down the stairs, her heart heavy with the knowledge that this was the last time she would be here.

Once outside, she quickly made her way home, her mind focused on returning to the people who truly knew her.

Hours later, Mirae woke up to the empty bed beside her. Her heart sank as she remembered their conversation. She sighed, feeling the weight of Fei's departure. After showering and getting dressed, Mirae found the note that Fei had left. She read it slowly, her eyes brimming with tears. Once finished, she carefully folded it, wiping away the tears that had formed.

When Mirae entered the kitchen, the guys greeted her with smiles and good mornings. Yixing noticed the sadness in her eyes and asked where Fei was. Mirae slid the note across the table, and Yixing quickly scanned its contents. His expression changed to one of disbelief.

"What? She left already?" Yixing said, his voice a mix of surprise and sadness.

"Yeah," Mirae replied quietly, "She said she'd be back, but not now. It was time for her to go home."

One by one, the others read the note, and a somber mood fell over the room. Fei would be missed by all of them.

Mirae didn't say anything about meeting Fei that evening. Instead, she quietly exited the kitchen, needing some space. She walked outside to find some solitude, but to her surprise, Luhan was already sitting at the table, staring at the horizon.

Mirae took a seat at the other end of the table, away from him, her thoughts clouded. He'd likely be relieved that Fei was gone, and she didn't want to engage with him just yet. The two of them sat in silence, watching the sun rise.

Luhan broke the silence. "So she's finally gone. I know you all miss her, but she never belonged here with us. It's good she's with her own kind," he said coolly.

Mirae clenched her fists, her anger rising. "Shut up! Just because you didn't like her doesn't mean we didn't! I finally found someone my age, someone I could be friends with, and you pushed her away!" she snapped, slamming her fist onto the table.

Luhan stood, his frustration boiling over. "I didn't want you to befriend an angel! They're not like us, they're our enemies! You can't see that?" he yelled, his grip tightening on her arms as he shook her.

Mirae struggled to free herself, her voice cracking. "Let go of me!" Tears streamed down her face as she wrenched herself free, rushing into the house.

Slamming the door behind her, she ran up to her room, grabbed her things, and fled the house without looking back. She ran all the way to the woods, where she collapsed, crying into the damp earth.

Mirae spent a long time crying before sitting up, wiping her face, and leaning against a tree. She felt drained, her heart heavy with the words that had been exchanged.

She wasn't sure what to do, but she knew she needed Fei. She needed her friend now more than ever.

Another day another misconception by people who have 0 knowledge in the corporate, marketing, sponsorship world

Warning : Not for fragile snowflakes who will send hate asks when they disagree on something, don't take it literally, ranting with my knowledge as someone in corporate communication and strategic communication (PR/Marketing/Social Media Management/etc) field, unreliable as i'm not Mercedes so take it lightly.

People... still on to these things and saying these shits when...

Mercedes' big valued sponsors such as IWC Schaffhausen, Petronas, SAP, UBS, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Puma, exist as team partners due to Mercedes Benz's connection with the team.

Before some anon jumped again "ohhh ari back at it again on undermining (insert driver name here)". First things first, drivers are one of the factors to attract sponsors indeed. I do not reject that fact. Drivers are the ones who represent the brands and there needs to be a synchronization in terms of value, image, personality, etc between a brand and the drivers as the KOLs. They often play the main role but that's not the "PERIODT!!" here. That's not the case here. The one who plays the main role is the company. Why? Because you can't invest based on one individual. Sponsors invest in the company. The company stays. The individuals can come and go. It'll be risky to just put all the stakes on one person. The company plays the game too. And in this case, the company is the Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team which is a subsidiary of the Mercedes Benz. Who wouldn't want to be partners with THE Mercedes Benz? Single brand coverage of the car with the sponsors logo posted on Mercedes Benz socials meant something.

Why does Mercedes play the main role in attracting and retaining sponsors? Because they are MERCEDES. The brand name comes first. And you can't say "Ari is undermining againnn". People out there don't know what the flying fuck Formula One is. But people know Mercedes. An exception is made when it's those smaller teams who clung on to the drivers' value to elevate their team's existence and popularity. But in the case of teams like McLaren, Red Bull, Ferrari, Aston Martin, etc or those with big names in the front of their brand. It's the brands that matter first. And this is the norm. This is not "Ari projecting" "Ari delulu". This is how it is in the industry.

And talking about sponsors leaving after a certain individual leaving, i said it AGAIN and AGAIN. It is NORMAL. Because they might not fit the image of the next individual, why stay? Why make investments if it doesn't fit? It will hurt everyone's image as there won't be any consistency and synchronization within brands. So they left.

But again as what Do Kyungsoo sings in EXO's Love Shot, "people come and people go", sponsors also come and go. With the vast amount of connection Mercedes Benz and its branch companies or subsidiaries have, there is no fear of being left without sponsors. Mercedes generally now? I can name three potential big sponsors to join next year as a prediction. Even if all of my predictions are wrong, there will still be sponsors and companies lining up to partner with THE Mercedes Benz. To partner with the small niche of Mercedes Benz. Remember, Formula One is nothing but a small niche in this HUGE world and in the world of Mercedes Benz ventures. Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One Team will never go sponsor-less. That should be the least of your worries or bullshit when the team name has Mercedes name on it.

Again.

This is Mercedes. Not some nugu unknown company. To think that they need to pull a "sabotaging" PR works to move the spotlight to George to keep him relevant and prevent the sponsors from leaving is stupid, idiotic and brainless behaviour. The brand is Mercedes Benz. A multi billion dollar blue chip company, one of the world's biggest car manufacturers. They don't do these stupid things to "prevent sponsors from leaving". Be for real..

THE MOON movie review

Let's start with minor details before I write my movie review. I watched this movie with my two college friends, they are 2/3 of my movie buddies. And the movie was sponsored by Vampedia in exchange of a review.

Me and my friends chose to watch the block screening hosted by one of the fanclubs dedicated to EXO here in the Philippines, named EXO Vento PH. As far as I know they handle events that are related and dedicated to EXO as a group and it's members' individual activities. It was my first time joining their event, it's simple but organized. The admins were friendly and accomodating.

The block screening was held at SM Grand Central Cinema 2 last August 27, 2023. We paid for the movie tickets plus a fan kit that includes some fanmade photocards, The Moon wristband, The Moon attendee card, and The Moon movie postcard. Early birds got the chance to score some free snacks too, but too bad for us we're late and missed the free snacks.

Since we are from Bulacan, we traveled 2 hours by bus and then by grab car going to SMGC.

Prior to this event I won a penguin crocheted keychain from their twitter giveaway and I claimed it during the block screening. It's penguin because penguin represents Kyungsoo. 😂 10/10 for the penguin it's super cute!

Before, during, and after the movie we all eat. 🤣

KFC chicken and rice meal before the movie

Fruit smoothie and popcorn during the movie

Popeyes chicken and spaghetti after the movie

We chose a cheaper ride going back home to Bulacan. We rode LRT from SMGC then bus to SMF then jeep to SMSJDM. Wow mall hopping. 😅

Brought home donuts for my family

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

GOING BACK TO MOVIE REVIEW NOW.....

The Moon is about an astronaut who is stranded in the moon, Hwang Sun-woo wants to successfully land on the moon to fulfill his father's dream but misfortunes and tragedy follows him. Stuck in the far side of the moon alone, during meteor shower, with limited oxygen, and damaged spaceship. He and his team also struggles to get help from NASA.

So..... it was sooooooo good, and this is coming from a person who's not a huge fan of sci-fi films, Kyungsoo being my EXO biased is just a bonus. I will try my best not to drop too much spoilers BUT my reviews always includes spoilers. So if you're sensitive to spoiler please stop reading this review now.

1. Storyline -

I kind of expected the movie to be confusing and complicated just because it's sci-fi. That's my prejudice about this genre. But surprisingly the flow of the story was smooth and easy to digest. There were side stories here and there, some flashbacks too, but they presented it clean and it did not confuse the viewers. There were some small twists and it made the story more emotional. Also there were some part where we can't help but laugh. The dynamic of the heavy situation mixed with minor comedy is comforting. I love that while we were worried about the main character, the film still gave us some laughs that balanced our emotions.

2. Cinematography -

Hands down to all the people behind the effects both in visual and in sounds. Me and my friends kept praising how beautiful the effects are, this movie has high budget and that will make the viewers more satisfied. The explosions, the moon itself, the sound effects, all of those are perfect. The meteor shower was scary, got a glimpse of how it looks like through this movie, it's both fascinating and scary.

3. Characters -

So this part, one of the main reason why I decided to watch this film was because of Do Kyungsoo. And it did not disappoint me, Hwang Sun-woo which was played by D.O. is a very likeable character. Sun-woo is strong-willed he is determined and while he lacks knowledge in fixing their ship, with his efforts he managed to bring himself back to the other (safer) side of the moon. I love that he never forgets his colleagues. The supporting characters has their own strength as well, even the father of Hwang has a huge impact in the film. Some characters will annoy you but most of the supporting characters are good. My favorite character aside from Hwang (of course he is my most favorite in this film), is Minyoung/Jennifer, she works at NASA and used to work with Hwang's father. She chose to sacrifice her position for Hwang to get help and return to the earth. I love that despite of a possibility that she will be kick out from NASA and lose her job, she still did all her best to help Hwang Sun-woo and his team. It takes courage and empathy to do that, she set aside her dreams and hard work to save a life. And I know it's hard to sacrifice yourself for others but if it could save a life then like her, I believe it's worth the shot.

4. Actors/Actresses -

Everyone was good, I am familiar with most of the actors inside this film, but I never saw the characters they portrayed before in this film, they owned their characters here and that just proved how good and versatile South Korean actors are. Do Kyungsoo deserves a best actor award for this film and role.

5. Ending -

The ending was good as well, the movie started good and it ended good. They just missed some important parts like the rescue, I was hoping they will include that part.

Movie Rating: 10/10

No biased, but this film is one of the bests this year. Do Kyungsoo will surely bag awards for this movie, I am manifesting this because he deserves it. I'll definitely rewatch this again and I encourage you people to support and watch The Moon in cinemas. It's worth the money and time (and long travel in our case).

my short version of movie review for Vampedia

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

I would like to thank Vampedia and its admins for giving me another opportunity to make a review. 🫶🏻

EDIT: I think I forgot to mention that we cried, we cried in first 15 minutes, we cried in the middle, we cried before the ending and the whole cinema applauded after the movie.

Watched the Exo countdown live for Exist

Jongdae reclaiming his spot as resident loudboi

Yes, please think of the office workers!!!! Not that I could have made the countdown anyway, but I assume Exo's fanbase is made up of "older" people now (ie similar in age to them)

Aw, Junmyeon saying he'll take Kyungsoo's photo for him for instagram

They're such old men X'D They discussed c'mon vs c-mon for like 40 seconds X'D

Sehun being in charge of the comments section. Also he's such an old man "the comments are going too fast! we should update this"

Chanyeol asking Kyungsoo the most tedious questions about his teaser photos and Kyungsoo answering intently with the most basic answers

All the guys making a scene when Kyungsoo's deep v-neck pirate outfit photo came on screen, which is correct

Baekhyun was like a puppy that got wet when at Jeju Island for Let Me In ^^;;

Sehun was sick during Hear Me Out filming and then everyone else caught his cold after v.v

Kyungsoo keeps zooming into people's chests (Chanyeol, Sehun especially)

Kyungsoo going aigoo-yahh when looking at Minseok's teaser photo with the mullet and the white shirt

Continuous tech oopsies while they use the tablet X'D They're just like us X'D

So the guys liked Junmyeon's Hear Me Out outfit (the one with the backwards baseball cap) :3

Junmyeon as the gang boss of the trainees X'D

Equally big response for Junmyeon cleavage

Seho doing their own thing in the y2k themed pic

Also clowning Sehun for popping his hip

Lmao Baekhyun simulates all his choices and only chooses the one...truly gaming the system

I was a little surprised that their song teasers were as long as they were! I'm used to them being really short and often not including the main chorus lol.

Field day with Exo-L lol. Not gonna lie, that sounds like a fun time lol.

LOL world tour field days where they'd pack their own lunches X'D

Apparently NCT Johnny recorded a demo of Peter Pan? Interesting.

No Makeup sounds soooo 2000s lol. This entire album is very 90s/2000s to me but No Makeup played in isolation brought me back to like 2002 lol.

Is it just me or was Kyungsoo singing a lot during song reveals? He's really feelin it :3 Including during Cream Soda >3

Lmao absolutely no order to the unboxing, they just took whichever ones they liked and started flipping through them

Chanyeol going back into the bar area to role play a bit lol

Why is Kyungsoo the one to explain the anime meme X'D

Meanwhile Minseok complaining about his anime episode not dropping yet

Clothes vs album, the natural decision

Sehun continues to be the Mandarin representative

Kyungsoo almost cried when watching Elemental lol

180428 “ME AFTER KYUNGSOO SANG FOR LIFE”

[kpop-dungeon-dark]

REQUEST # 8 (Minseok, Chanyeol, Kyungsoo, Baekhyun x Reader)

•TRIGGER WARNING•

Request: "College bully group Chanyeol, Baekhyun, DO and Xiumin with a virgin innocent reader. Please make it very intense dark. Make sure that Chanyeol Baekhyun DO and Xiumin are extremely rich and good students but had special interest in completely innocent girl yn. Who are average student."

Warning(s): Noncon, bullying, piss play, dacryphilia, spanking, camera play, creampie, gangbang, hair pulling, humiliation, degradation, dumbification, wedging, cigarette play. This piece is purely a work of fiction and does not represent Kim Minseok, Byun Baekhyun, Doh Kyungsoo or Park Chanyeol in any way nor do I condone or encourage these actions in real life. This is nothing but mere fantasy. Contains dark themes, browse at your own risk.

When Y/n stayed up past sundown at the college library to finish an assignment that was way past its deadline, she had promised herself that the walk to the dorms would be a piece of cake as it was all in safe and guarded premises.

Right?

Wrong.

Because seniors Kim Minseok, Byun Baekhyun, Park Chanyeol and Doh Kyungsoo were waiting in the perfect dark blindspot a few steps away from the library leading to the pavement that ended at the entrance of the female dorms.

They didn't even live on campus, Minseok owning a lavish apartment just a few kms away from it that the boys shared most days. Baekhyun had seen her in the library in the evening when she had entered holding all her belongings, hurriedly shuffling to a table and sitting down to type away.

And before long, it was dark and she was still there, with the boys lurking around as none of them had any special plans for today, Kyungsoo's guess that she'd be in there past sundown proving to be right.

"And what is such a small little thing like you doing so late out all alone?" The girl's smaller body jumped as she hugged her bag close, head whipping in the direction of the bushes in which Chanyeol stood, his deep voice cutting through the silence of the night as the darkness clothed his devilish smirk.

The girl started walking again, trying to go faster as she casted her eyes down, letting her feet guide her. She knew without a doubt who the voice belonged to as the darkness just allowed her his silhouette. Y/n could recognise their voices anywhere.

The four seniors who had taken it upon themselves to make her life a living hell ever since last year when she first joined.

"What's the rush for?" A loud gasp tumbled past Y/n's lips as her eyes widened when she heard a taunting whisper from right behind her, the scream that forced itself out of her throat right after getting muffled when the owner of the voice, Kyungsoo, clasped his hand over her mouth softly, reaching under her skirt before grabbing the strawberry patterned underwear she was wearing and pulling it up effortlessly, making her body jolt forward in pain when the fabric dug into her pussy and ass crack.

The three laughs nearing her as Kyungsoo carried her towards the bushes by the wedgie made her cry harder.

Oh no. All of them were here.

"P- Please!" Was the first thing Y/n gasped out when the hand was removed from her mouth, body bouncing up and down as Baekhyun toyed with the wedgie now, slapping her ass and chuckling while watching all her stuff slowly slip out of her shaky grip and on the ground.

"Please, what?" Minseok taunted, making her cough by exhaling the smoke of his cigarette in her face, a grin making it's way on his own when he noticed the tears in her eyes. "More?" Chanyeol laughed when she shook her head, slapping her across the cheek as Kyungsoo and Baekhyun tore her clothes off, not stopping until there were only rags hanging off her shoulders.

"Of course she wants more, whores like her always want more" Kyungsoo spat out, groping her boobs as Chanyeol pulled at the wedgie this time, giving it rough jerks to make it rip.

"Pathetic" Baekhyun shook his head, palming his growing bulge with one hand as he grabbed her water from the floor. "Look at the mess of snot and tears on your face, tsk" before he splashed the water on her face, causing her body to jerk backwards and into Chanyeol's chest, who grunted because her 'filthy body' spoiled his new Adidas hoodie, slapping the back of her head before forcing her down on the ground and on her knees before giving up on trying to rip her underwear for now, pulling it over against her head instead.

All of them laughed.

"Someone likes to wear flexible underwear" Minseok commented, exhaling the last bit of his cigarette before leaning down to crush it against one of her nipples, making the girl cry out in pain again as her skin throbbed from the pain.

"Tsk" Baekhyun kicked her ass as she blindly tried to make out what was happening since the wedgie covered her eyes and blocked her vision. "You keep dirtying yourself like a fucking pig with this snot and tears and fucking drool" he pinched her other nipple mercilessly before smacking it. "Even after I went to the trouble of cleaning you. Fuck."

"That's because you aren't cleaning her right" Minseok chimed in as he watched her with a sick grin, having undone his fly and in the middle of pulling his cock out. "Whores like to be cleaned a different way" giving his cock a few pumps, the man aimed his tip at her head, sucking in a harsh breath before he pushed and out came his hot piss, drenching her face because Kyungsoo removed the underwear from it just in time to have the piss come in direct contact with her skin, making her sob out as she struggled and failed, shaking as the rest of the boys covered her in their piss from all directions, Chanyeol kicking her ass to make her kneel like a dog.

A small puddle formed underneath her on the ground by the time they were done, all aroused with hot blood pumping through their veins.

Minseok was the first to reach for her body and shove his cock down her throat, moaning out loud and cursing when his tip hit her tight throat, making her gag as Kyungsoo positioned himself in her pussy, beating Chanyeol to it which made the older grunt and settle for her tight ass, spanking it as he watched her tiny pucker struggling with swallowing the girth of his cock.

Baekhyun touched himself as he watched the sight, leading one of her hands to his cock before making her jerk him off, biting his lip before speaking up. "Minseok, remember how we were discussing that we needed a housekeeper for the apartment?" Grinning at the busy man in question, he continued when the older nodded silently, fucking himself down her throat violently as her body jerk and gagged with each thrust, all holes being forced to expand. "Don't you think we've found the perfect little maid?"

Y/n was barely sane at this point, all that overstimulation along with the slaps and insults numbing her brain and senses. She could barely keep up, the only coherent thought being that she just lost her virginity to Kyungsoo.

The boys didn't stop there. They fucked her some more, "washed" her in the puddle of piss and water on the ground by forcing her to roll in it, comparing who creampied her the best while documenting it all on their phones, making her shove her stationary in all her holes so she could learn to finish her assignments on time, forcing her to march through the woods and then making herself cum from the marker shoved in her pussy while thanking them as she had to look in their cameras, promising to be a better student for them.

Y/n had no choice but to obey. They belonged to four of the country's richest families. And with her own lower middle class background there was nowhere to run but take what they were giving her.

The night came to an end with Kyungsoo making her kneel like a dog along with all her belongings in the back of his truck as they drove her back with them to the apartment because, 'pets can't live without their owners, can they? They're too dumb to be on their own by themselves.'
