—KIM SEOKJIN ; jin !

-ˋˏ ღ shipname: jinna

-ˋˏ ღ you two are such a handful oh my god

-ˋˏ ღ even though he's the oldest, he acts like a baby with you and whines about everything

-ˋˏ ღ but then he can also baby you

-ˋˏ ღ he loves feeding you food or cooking with you on camera

-ˋˏ ღ He has 'Eat Jin' while you have 'Cook Yona' which is honestly really cute omg

-ˋˏ ღ whatever you cooked on Cook Yona, Jin would mukbang it in Eat Jin, sometimes he even shared! (barely)

-ˋˏ ღ you honestly love trying to fatten him up cause he's a sucker for food

-ˋˏ ღ usually once you guys are full, it's either you start cleaning and he starts gaming or other way around

-ˋˏ ღ one of your cute habits is whenever his break cheeks show up, you pinch them a lot

-ˋˏ ღ also he scolds (raps) you like every other member

-ˋˏ ღ you were with that one cooking episode where jungkook and taehyung were cooking, you felt so bad for them but it was hilarious to watch

-ˋˏ ღ whenever he games, you always make little snacks for him because you know he gets really mad at the game but its even worse when hes on an empty stomach (you dont want his yelling to disturb your sugar gliders)

-ˋˏ ღ you like to have jungkook over sometimes so he can play with jin since you THOUGHT that would make him yell less (no the yelling doubled.)

-ˋˏ ღ you recorded the two of them playing together and caught jin smacking jungkook for snatching his food (IT WAS FOR THE BOTH OF THEM.)

-ˋˏ ღ just dance nights are very common for the two of you after that one in the soop episode

-ˋˏ ღ fishing dates are suddenly also a thing now because he said so

-ˋˏ ღ his dad jokes make you sob on the inside, but then again the boys think of you as their mom since you worry your head off like one

-ˋˏ ღ "JAGI, IS KOOKIE OKAY?!"

-ˋˏ ღ "that brat is fine, he does dumb stuff a lot"

—MIN YOONGI ; suga !

-ˋˏ ღ shipname: yoona

-ˋˏ ღ to start this off, you bullied yoongi with the others.

-ˋˏ ღ BUT ITS REALLY FUNNY BECAUSE HIS REACTIONS ARE HYSTERICAL

-ˋˏ ღ YooNa moments are really hard to catch on camera, because yoongi has a preference on keeping a lot of your vulnerable moments private but when they do come up, THEY'RE ALWAYS LIKE A KDRAMA

-ˋˏ ღ there was this one scenario, both of your kpop groups were attending an event and were sat next to eachother (totally not on purpose uhuh)

-ˋˏ ღ the thing was, your company failed to think that your outfit wouldn't give you enough warmth, and the even was out in the open so you were freezing to death (BRUH)

-ˋˏ ღ and yoongles was kind enough to shrug off his coat and put it over your shoulders

-ˋˏ ღ he got rewarded with a kiss in private :)

-ˋˏ ღ whenever he has birthday lives, you're always there with him or well- you're in every live he has

-ˋˏ ღ he was wearing some goofy shades and a party hat while you were just watching

-ˋˏ ღ "you look like a clown, pabo (fool)"

-ˋˏ ღ "someone doesn't want cake"

-ˋˏ ღ you both glared at eachother after, even though you couldn't even see his eyes

-ˋˏ ღ the armies were just laughing their asses off in the chat

-ˋˏ ღ anyway, you honestly love his gummy little smile or the way he's an old man in a young body

-ˋˏ ღ your relationship reflects that statement, the both of you prefer being traditional most of the time

-ˋˏ ღ sure he loves watching movies for hours and taking a nap, but nothing would ever beat just watching the moon together

-ˋˏ ღ when he was nervous about releasing his first album, you were with him every step of the way! the production of music, drafting of ideas, the photoshoots

-ˋˏ ღ when you were gone for months on end because of a tour and press conference across the world, yoongi was absolutely depressed

-ˋˏ ღ he ended up releasing his frustration through music specifically, so far away that featured Suran

-ˋˏ ღ when you listened to it, your heart honestly shattered

-ˋˏ ღ that day, you promised yourself that you would always be with Yoongi, you will never be far from him for over 2 months, it was what made your relationship grow so much

-ˋˏ ღ you had seen every side of him, the raw energy of agustD, the creative and sweet Suga, then the truthful and reflecting Min Yoongi

-ˋˏ ღ and he had seen every part of you, Yona's love for her fans, and Y/N's truth

-ˋˏ ღ the both of you are absolutely in love, soulmates even

-ˋˏ ღ everyone is convinced that the two of you were made for eachother

-ˋˏ ღ OKAY BACK TO CRACK

-ˋˏ ღ the both of you love arguing with eachother as a joke and he just starts being a baby

-ˋˏ ღ you remember the one time you stole his last tangerine and he was so upset (not really but he wanted to be petty) that he THEN finished all the ice cream in your freezer

-ˋˏ ღ yes you ranted about this to your fans and yoongi heard, so he just walked up to you and started clinging onto you to annoy you

-ˋˏ ღ "YAH! Get off you man-child!"

-ˋˏ ღ "What if I say no"

-ˋˏ ღ "god!"

-ˋˏ ღ "Yes?"

-ˋˏ ღ you hated him being such a smart ass too but like it's okay i guess....

-ˋˏ ღ one time you slapped cat ears on his head and he was just flabbergasted while staring at you

-ˋˏ ღ (you snapped pics so fast and sent them to the guys)

-ˋˏ ღ ANYWAY you bullied him by constantly calling him cute and whatever (maybe even ahjussi)

-ˋˏ ღ ok but then he calls you a grandma too

-ˋˏ ღ sitting on his lap or on his sofa while he produces music is really calming for u

-ˋˏ ღ just baskin in eachothers presence <3

—JUNG HOSEOK ; j-hope !

-ˋˏ ღ shipname: yo-hope

-ˋˏ ღ he's your sunshine and you're his moon omg

-ˋˏ ღ it was such a 'sunshine and the moon that protects it' trope and the fans loved it

-ˋˏ ღ hobi was always there to cheer you up after a really stressful day at work and you loved him so much for it

-ˋˏ ღ it was absolutely amazing to come home to him after a bad day since he knew what to do to cheer u up and make u happyyy

-ˋˏ ღ when some antis were hating him, you couldn't care less if you had gotten backlash, you defended him in every way you could

-ˋˏ ღ at this point, hobi was all you could ever care about since the two of you had supported one another since day one

-ˋˏ ღ when you two announced the two of you were together, the positivity that came out was overwhelming and the both of you were absolutely overjoyed with it

-ˋˏ ღ yo-hope was one of the favorite ships in the k-pop community because of the contrast between the two of you

-ˋˏ ღ you were actually the one that got hobi to start doing lives again!!! you always encouraged him and made sure he heard the things youd end your live on

-ˋˏ ღ "Okay guys, if Hobi ever goes on live, please show him as much support and love you can! for me!"

-ˋˏ ღ and on hobi's first live, you were there and made sure to check if some of your fans had actually showed support and sure enough, it was full of usernames that were referencing your kpop group

-ˋˏ ღ you and hobi are almost inseparable unless absolutely necessary because whenever you arent around, sweet boy feels so incomplete

-ˋˏ ღ there are like hundreds of compilations of Yo-Hope moments, a lot of the time you would just walk up to hobi and cling on him cause you need your charger

-ˋˏ ღ HIS JOY IS YOUR JOY

-ˋˏ ღ You love watching the boys kinda just grab hobi and hug him too, cuz he really is bangtan's sunshine

-ˋˏ ღ when the maknaes mess around with hobi, you swear hobi should be in the maknae line

-ˋˏ ღ whenever hobi is about to collapse laughing, you always catch him while laughing yourself (you cant deny it, there are 10 minute compilations of it)

-ˋˏ ღ you know when he has his moments when he's really stressed and down, overthinking about a lot, but you're always there to keep him up

-ˋˏ ღ you'll always be his moon, his partner, his soulmate :)

-ˋˏ ღ okay not going to lie, you and yoongi have beef over who gets jhope more (literally glaring at eachother from across the room)

-ˋˏ ღ it's okay though! the both of u decided to glare at anyone who messes with hobi

-ˋˏ ღ (i'm totally not buttering u guys up bcuz jimin's hcs r so funny)

-ˋˏ ღ Jack in the Box was a wild experience for you, Jay was a whole other entity when you watched him perform

-ˋˏ ღ hobi wanted to show armies that he wasn't all smiles and that he also struggled, YOU WERE ALL FOR IT!!!!

—PARK JIMIN ; jimin !

-ˋˏ ღ shipname: yomin

-ˋˏ ღ jimin.. the punching bag of bangtan for the amount of funny and embarrassing stuns he has pulled

-ˋˏ ღ jimin could care less about the cameras around, he wants his baby!! the editors can deal with cutting it out!!!!

-ˋˏ ღ he loves to just like.. snatch you away from everyone and like keep you on his lap

-ˋˏ ღ "jimin, can I get off-"

-ˋˏ ღ "No"

-ˋˏ ღ In terms of man child-ness, he and taehyung are verrryyy close

-ˋˏ ღ sometimes the three of you hangout, taehyung ends up being like the sibling you bring around while you and your s/o go out and buying the kid so much food

-ˋˏ ღ at this point, you don't know if taehyung comes for the food or for the companionship BUT ANYWAY back to jimin

-ˋˏ ღ you and jimin act like such a married couple (hes totally not planning to propose uhuh mhm yessir on god)

-ˋˏ ღ the two of you bicker and then end up having a whole kdrama scene and I think the other BTS members are really tired of it but who cares you two love eachother

-ˋˏ ღ the way you two guys met was the funniest part

-ˋˏ ღ you and him were hosting together, and while interviewing someone at a table and sitting down, jimin immediately fell down on live

-ˋˏ ღ you were fighting for your life to not laugh while the interviewee was just there flabbergasted

-ˋˏ ღ that's how you two became such a lover girl and lover boy couple

-ˋˏ ღ when his new album came out, he absolutely demanded you would make a cameo in the 'Like Crazy' mv and you ended up in it

-ˋˏ ღ so now you're in the theories for the music video but like it's okay cause they're entertaining

-ˋˏ ღ jimin probably reads fanfics of YoMin and he loves to be shameless about it when he's with you.. what a brat

-ˋˏ ღ speaking about brat, he has such an attitude sometimes oh my god

-ˋˏ ღ out of everyone, he also has such a strong satoori and it's funny and scary at the same time

-ˋˏ ღ HE SOUNDS SO CONDESCENDING- he loves using it when a guy tries harrassing you while the both of you are out

-ˋˏ ღ You know that one video with Taehyung and Jimin together, and Jimin starts threatening you in Satoori? Yeah imagine that 💀

-ˋˏ ღ he's so mean sometimes too I swear- he loves teasing and bullying you

-ˋˏ ღ In the name of your stans, you will beat Jimin up one day, just not today

-ˋˏ ღ when the both of you are live and you find yourself without your indoor slippers he's yelling at you like:

-ˋˏ ღ "WEAR YOUR SLIPPERS PROPERLY"

-ˋˏ ღ "URUSAI (SHUT UP IN JAPANESE FOR SOME REASON?)"

-ˋˏ ღ The armies and stans were just watching this happen like it was normal. They're all used to how you and Jimin are like when the two of you are together

-ˋˏ ღ They saw you smack jimin and then Jimin stared at the camera with his mouth agape

-ˋˏ ღ "ARMYYY SHE JUST HIT ME"

-ˋˏ ღ and then the messages were like "BEAT HIM UP Y/N" "GO OFF QUEEN" "MOREEEEEE 🤾🏻‍♀️🤾🏻‍♀️" "let her COOK"

-ˋˏ ღ and suddenly jimin was lying down on the floor while you scrolled on your phone

-ˋˏ ღ yeah you made him beg for forgiveness

—KIM TAEHYUNG ; V !

-ˋˏ ღ shipname: taena

-ˋˏ ღ "tan-ahh don't keep Y/N all to yourself!!"

-ˋˏ ღ you were yeontan's momma ever since you and taehyung got together and it was obvious who was tannie's favorite

-ˋˏ ღ you loved to take pictures with yeontan and post it on social media, showing the world the adorable teacup pom with his popular momma! all with taehyung's permission of course

-ˋˏ ღ in one of taehyung's very much rare lives, the three of you were in bed with acoustic music playing in the back

-ˋˏ ღ though the live was very short, armies could fully see the love and admiration taehyung had for you

-ˋˏ ღ actually- he even decided to kiss you in front of the cam 😭

-ˋˏ ღ the next day, the clip was all over social media, taehyung personally thinking they're just overreacting about the whole ordeal like he's not one of the most powerful men in Korea 💀💀

-ˋˏ ღ but tae is your baby tbh (he's the goofy little dork in the relationship and you have to take care of him)

-ˋˏ ღ taehyung has this one cute habit where if he goes on live, he HAS to talk about your idol career or you in general at least.. like three times

-ˋˏ ღ everyone needs to know the beauty of Korea is his of course!!

-ˋˏ ღ you honestly love listening to his deep husky voice in their songs.. you love all of them but nothing beats taehyung's solo songs for you (they are in your everyday playlist)

-ˋˏ ღ the both of you love to wear matching outfits when you have to go out, and the fans go wild for it!

-ˋˏ ღ I swear to god you've seen a shirt with a picture of u and taehyung matching on it 😭

-ˋˏ ღ whenever your schedules let you, the three of you like to go out in the early morning to walk around the empty streets of seoul like a little family

-ˋˏ ღ this doesnt stop taehyung from wanting 3-5 kids in the future though

-ˋˏ ღ you and taehyung absolutely value time together since the both of you are constantly doing someone with their idol career, but at the end of the day

-ˋˏ ღ the both of you still lay in the same bed just admiring eachother

-ˋˏ ღ taehyung maybe locking yeontan out of the room if he was feeling a bit frisky that night

-ˋˏ ღ but anyway, this little dork loves showing you the random stuff he buys and it's honestly concerning and funny at the same time

-ˋˏ ღ and he's so freaking blunt about it omfg

-ˋˏ ღ "look at that chair with an ass on it" "tae, jagi, what the fu-"

-ˋˏ ღ AND THE HAS LIKE 10 RAMEN COOKERS IN HIS HOUSE HELP SAVE Y/N

-ˋˏ ღ even then, he still wants you to cook for him cause he's a lil baby that can't take care of himself omg

-ˋˏ ღ taehyung loves to abuse his tata mic face on you and it makes it so hard to say no to him, the situation goes like:

-ˋˏ ღ "Jagi, I want a bread maker"

-ˋˏ ღ "Tae, no, why in the name of Bang-PD would we need a bread maker??"

-ˋˏ ღ *tata mic face*

-ˋˏ ღ "oh my god- you are such a baby, fine ugh"

-ˋˏ ღ tae also has this one habit of like making up his own language or something, and the fact that you've spent years with him and as his soulmate, you are his translator alongside Suga

-ˋˏ ღ you find it absolutely endearing and adorable though

-ˋˏ ღ you know how taehyung is blunt yeah? he has said with a straight face before the following:

-ˋˏ ღ "If this idol thing doesn't work out for us, we should become a farm family and have an army of 5 kids and then an army of chickens to attack jimin-shi when he visits us"

-ˋˏ ღ lord have mercy on Y/N- WAIT 5 KIDS? 💀

—JEON JUNGKOOK ; jungkook !

-ˋˏ ღ shipname: yokook

-ˋˏ ღ the only thing he likes about the two of you being idols is that the both of you have a gigantic privilege

-ˋˏ ღ he absolutely hates the fact that the two of you lack privacy and the hate that comes from some 'army' (bruh)

-ˋˏ ღ other than that, he still is absolutely in love with you, full of adoration in his adorable doe eyes

-ˋˏ ღ you know how he's the ambassador of Calvin Klein? You're also an ambassador so CK decided a couple shoot with the both of you would be good coverage for them

-ˋˏ ღ another pro about the couple shoot is that you can make it clear to your fans that the both of you are very much devoted to each other

-ˋˏ ღ weekly training together is a must! an absolute must!!! or else kookie will get sulky and sad for the rest of the week and cry to bam or something

-ˋˏ ღ on one of his late night lives, you had walked into the room while he was talking to army, he had the galaxy doohickey on and a candle next to him

-ˋˏ ღ "hi tokki" you greeted him with a soft smile

-ˋˏ ღ "noona!" he immediately took his attention off the chat to walk to you and give you a kiss

-ˋˏ ღ the army were going crazy in chat with "YOKOOK!!" "MY SHIP SAILED" "Love to YoKook from ___!! <3"

-ˋˏ ღ after the small kiss the both of you sat on the couch and you greet the army with a wave and lazy grin

-ˋˏ ღ you and jungkook made some small talk while some music played on the tv, you could only assume that he was doing some karaoke before you got home

-ˋˏ ღ while the two of you talked, you caught a glimpse from chat that includes "Kookie looks so inlove with her🥺🥺", "He grew up so fast and now he has an amazing gf 😭", "His eyes tell so much!!!!"

-ˋˏ ღ the smile that appeared on your face couldn't be contained, the moment jungkook saw your smile, he turned to look at the source and he couldn't help but smile himself at all the comments

-ˋˏ ღ "Thank you for all the support, Army. I'll always hold Army, BTS, and Y/N close to my heart"

-ˋˏ ღ honestly you made him pull out the slight busan accent (its so hot bruh wtf the little sigh at the end) and you loved the way it sounded

-ˋˏ ღ You went to go do a quick errand in your shared bedroom so you left Kook alone in the living room to do whatever he was doing

-ˋˏ ღ what you came back to was absolutely adorable and hilarious.

-ˋˏ ღ you saw a kookie in slumber, a chat going wild the moment they saw you, and the candle still burning.

-ˋˏ ღ you laughed as you read some of the comments from chat and blew out the candle, you bid army farewell with a promise that you will take care of the golden maknae

Ryokuryuu’s Lifeline

Part 3: Pure Love

Trigger Warning: hints at sexual assault and rape.

You gazed up at Jae-ha with a soft smile on your face as he appeared before you. His lavender eyes scanned over you, meeting your gaze when he was satisfied you were alright.

"Cabin?" He inquired, studying you closely for any signs of discomfort or hesitation. It was getting later in the night and he knew you had to be feeling tired.

Smiling sleepily at him, you took his hand in yours, leading him below deck. The captain had given you two separate quarters at first, but since you were both kids when he rescued you and couldn't fall asleep without him, she didn't mandate what you could or couldn't do, knowing he would always prioritize your comfort and safety first above all else

You entered your room with Jae-ha trailing behind you, grinning as you remembered your earlier conversation with Yona.

I love him.

Suddenly, strong arms encircled your waist from behind you, bringing you closer to his chest. You felt the heat radiating from him through your layers of clothing and sighed, snuggling closer to him, face tilting up as you twisted to press your cheek against his shoulder.

Jae-ha eased as he observed you keenly, no signs of even the slightest bit of flinching away from his touch. Dropping his head down, he rested his forehead against yours, exhaling slowly.

He had to be more careful.

You always had an issue with physical contact. Jae-ha was guessing it had something to do with being chained in an alleyway, vulnerable to whoever decided to make themselves known and so he tried his best to tone down his personality around you.

Captain Gi-gan had taught him how to woo a woman properly, and soon enough, it became a part of him. You never asked him to change, but he never missed the way you would wince at his words on occasion.

It was the only time he ever regretted his charming demeanor when you were noticeably agitated from his words. It happened the first time when he found you.

"What's a beautiful lady like you doing in a place like this?"

Jae-ha's eyes widened in shock when you audibly whimpered, curling your body away from him feebly.

At the time, he didn't understand what he did wrong. It had taken a lot of time for you to open up to him, years in fact. You had told him at one point, that hearing those words reminded you of what people would say to you before they did whatever they wanted to with you. Jae-ha once asked you if anyone had touched you.

You understood the gravity of his question.

He still remembered the way guilt and shame clouded over your eyes as you confessed to him that you didn't remember. Sometimes you would sleep for days at a time, and when you woke up, things would feel different but you couldn't clearly recall it. It was almost like they had taken a part of you, but it was beyond excruciatingly painful to never remember the details. You felt frustrated and angry that they had walked away with something that you didn't even know about at the time. That night, he had reassured you that no matter what had happened, you weren't at fault. After you fell asleep in his gentle and grounding embrace, he made a promise.

"I'll keep you safe." He brushed back hair that had fallen into your eyes. "I promise, with my life, I'll protect you, Y/N."

Jae-ha's jaw tightened at the memory as he held you close to him. A small smile making its way onto his face as you scrunched up your nose, yawning adorably.

You're so cute, Y/N...

"Bedtime?" His hot breath tickling against your ear as he whispered.

You stirred sleepily in his arms. "But it's warm." You pouted, speech slurring due to exhaustion. "I don't wanna move."

Jae-ha couldn't contain himself anymore, you were just too cute. You let out a squeak as he scooped you up in his arms.

"Jae-ha!" You cried out, giggling, arms immediately winding around his neck.

He chuckled, carrying you easily to bed and lowering you gently down. As he went to remove his arms from your form, you caught his hand. Jae-ha looked at you with wide eyes as you mumbled, "Stay."

You gave him your best puppy eyes, "Please?"

Jae-ha bent over you, the mattress dipping under the weight as he rested on his hands placed beside you, nuzzling your hair.

"Always." He murmured, echoing what you had said to him earlier that day.

He arranged himself around you, not wanting to crowd you.

You pouted at his distance, tugging his wrist closer, hoping he would take the hint. Jae-ha's breath caught in his throat and he held back a groan.

You were going to be the death of him.

Jae-ha shifted closer to you, carefully draping an arm around your waist, the other resting underneath his head. You fit beside him like a puzzle piece, head tucked underneath his chin, legs tangling with his.

"I'm sorry for what I said earlier." He apologized quietly.

He felt your chest vibrate as you mumbled something incoherent into his neck and Jae-ha laughed softly. You grinned as you pulled back slightly, enough to look him in the eye.

"I said it's alright." You reassured him.

Jae-ha's body went rigid. "No, it's not."

He frowned, he could remember the way you flinched away from his words as if they had cut you. He never wanted to see you in pain and afraid, especially from him.

"Hey," You traced his jaw with your finger, "I can hear your thoughts."

Your concern touched him and he spiraled deeper into his guilt.

I don't deserve it.

I don't deserve you.

"Stop thinking whatever it is you're thinking because it's a lie." Your voice cut through to him, snapping him out of his self-loathing. "Do you remember our system?"

Jae-ha immediately nodded.

Two fingers pressed to the inside of his wrist meant you were okay, and one finger meant that you weren't okay.

"I used two earlier, remember?" Jae-ha inclined his head. "I'm okay, I promise."

You beamed up at him, causing him to crack a tiny smile. Your expression turned serious as you pried his arm out from under his head, running a thumb over his knuckles.

"I don't think I ever thanked you." The green dragon stared at you in confusion. "I wanted to say thank you for caring about me enough to let me face my demons and always being there to pull me out if it gets to be too much."

The disbelief etched on his face almost caused you to laugh, he really was so cute. "I don't want to struggle with this my entire life, I need to confront it sometimes and know when enough is enough. I'll only ever know if I put myself out there to learn, right? I love the way you are, because regardless of how much you flirt with women, you truly respect them. I'm living proof. You didn't take advantage of me in my state when you first found me, and that still continues until today. I trust you, Jae-ha."

Jae-ha's breath hitched. You had only said that a handful of times to him since the first, but each and every time it never failed to take his breath away.

"Yah," He tried to tease, voice cracking, "You can't just reveal my secrets like that, Y/N."

You shot him a sly smirk. "Don't worry, your secret's safe with me."

A comfortable silence fell as you continued to caress his knuckles with the pad of your fingers.

"Actually," Jae-ha's smooth voice was hushed, "I don't care if they all know. I don't care if I start to get a reputation of being too soft."

He moved his face closer to yours until he was a hairbreadth away, and you felt a familiar heat rise to your cheeks.

"The only thing that matters to me, is you, and whether or not you're safe. I don't care about anything else." Jae-ha declared quietly.

After a few moments, he changed the topic. "Are you still having trouble sleeping?"

Your hesitation answered for you. As you felt the shame rise, you pulled your hand away from Jae-ha's and brought the other up to cover your face.

He was much too quick, catching on quickly to what you were trying to do. His hands shot out to grasp your wrists, keeping them away from your eyes.

"Don't hide from me."

His plea caused you to freeze.

"It's nothing to be ashamed of..." You closed your eyes as Jae-ha pressed a soft kiss to your forehead.

"I just..." Conflicted emotions stirred from within you. "I don't understand why it's still so hard for me. I'm safe, I'm not chained anymore, so why does it feel like I'm still not free? Why am I still so scared?"

Jae-ha's heart shattered as your voice broke with the amount of raw pain seeping through it. His hands released its grip on your wrist, dropping back down to wrap around your back. He brought you up to eye-level with him, hooking a finger under your chin so that you were facing him.

"Y/N, listen to me." Violet orbs bore into you, unwavering, "Healing, it doesn't come all at once. I know it feels frustrating, but look at what you've been able to do. Sleep might not come easy all the time, but you've improved so much in all the areas you've been working on, including that one, and I couldn't be prouder of you."

His eyes shone with genuine love and you wanted to burst into tears at the sheer tenderness of it all.

You settled for sniffling instead, trying desperately to keep the tears at bay, but you couldn't hold it in. Throwing your arms around his neck, you sobbed openly into his shoulder, tears darkening his robes. Jae-ha squeezed his eyes shut at the contact, rubbing circles into your back comfortingly until your tears eventually subsided.

He sighed softly, warm breath fanning across your face causing you to blush. The arm he had curled around your midsection tightened. You both laid in silence, Jae-ha listening to the sound of your even breathing, and you watched as his chest rose and fell, counting the seconds that went by until you grew drowsy.

"Sleep, Y/N," Jae-ha murmured, as you began to shift, protesting against the siren's call to go under. "I'm right here."

Slowly, you began to settle. The sides in your mind didn't stop fighting against each other, but you tried to focus on Jae-ha, his calming presence and comforting embrace. Eventually, the war faded in the background enough for you to finally give into the temptation.

You had only been asleep for a few short minutes when Jae-ha turned towards the ceiling curiously. The rapid steps were faint against the wood, but he could still hear them and was able to make out Captain Gi-gan's footfalls first. She was heading to her quarters, but so was everyone else.

His brow furrowed, what would the captain want with her crew this late at night?

Unless....

They found something.

do you still do the alternate confessions series? if so i'd love of the recent chapters a alternate confession when Jaeha goes to see Yona in the palace and it turns into a love confession

Sure thing anon! Sorry this took so long work has been hectic but here you go:

The rain was coming down rapidly as Jae-ha made his way across the rooftops, Ao perched on his shoulder. He sighed as he recalled his conversation with Hak, really wishing the Thunder Beast had come with him. Making his way to the castle, he took the way the former bodyguard told him to avoid being detected. ‘Seriously Hak, I don’t know how you stand being away from her so long…’ he thought to himself. Part of him had been going crazy with worry over the princess, the other part fighting with his urge to just scoop her up and take her far away from here.

 He shook his head, knowing that wasn’t the answer. But he could give her some sort of peace of mind, figuring how she must need to see Hak by now. He was sure Yona must have given Hak an answer to his confession by now, would explain why she was so uneasy around him. That or maybe if he could get them alone she could answer… After all he heard Hak teasing her about something when they were in the Fire Tribe, but he couldn’t make it out at the time. “Honestly I have no idea how he’s resisted her for so long…” he mumbled, reaching Yona’s window. “She’s so beautiful and amazing, I’m sure they’ll be happy together….” He frowned for a moment at that thought, shaking his head as he once again buried his feelings for the princess. “Better than a man with a deadly timer on him…” he whispered to himself as he blinked when he heard something… Yona was talking to someone… No… Herself? There was no one else in the room and Yona had a deadened expression on her face, slowly standing up as she sighed heavily.

 “It’s as if my legs won’t even move…” Yona sighed. “Like they were gone…”

 “Now when did that happen?” Jae-ha smiled, knowing this was the perfect time for him to enter. “That’s funny, didn’t I tell you before?” he hummed, moving the curtain to the side. “That I would be your legs?”

 “Jae-ha?!” Yona gasped, eyes wide seeing him there. For a moment the princess questioned if she was dreaming, her heart thumping seeing the Green Dragon before her. She immediately looked behind herself and pulled the curtain to hide him as she helped him into her room. “What are you doing here? Did you come alone?”

 “Oh I got tired of waiting to see you, so I came myself. I was told you weren’t feeling well.” Jae-ha hummed, Ao jumping off his shoulder to nuzzle with the redhead. “Ao missed you too.”

 Yona looked at him confused. “What? I’m fine!” She wondered how he was told this lie, but seeing how Kye-sook was being so secretive she didn’t put it past him.

 Jae-ha sighed, figuring that had been a lie. “… I see. That’s a relief.” He then looked to see if anyone was nearby, then grabbed her hand. “Let’s go, Yona dear.”

 The princess looked at him confused. “… What?”

 “I’m taking you to where Hak is.” Jae-ha explained, taking her towards the window. “The sound of the rain will make a good cover, so we can sneak away for a bit and then come back. They won’t even notice you’re gone.”

 “See Hak? But…” Yona sucked in a breath. Yes she missed her family, but was it worth the risk? What if someone came by and noticed her missing? Granted she felt a bit more at ease seeing her Ryokuryuu crush before her, her cheeks flushing as her mind wandered back to her last botched confession attempt with him…. And Hak’s offer to just tell him that nearly made her have a stroke.

 “You see Hak enlisted in the Sky Tribe army and trying so hard to regain his position as your special bodyguard.” Jae-ha explained, chuckling. “Don’t you think it’s cute? It’s a mad scheme though. Poor boy is desperate to get back to your side.”

 “HE WHAT?!” Yona shouted, then shivered as she checked from around the curtain to make sure she didn’t alert Joo-doh.

 “I wanted to bring him here so you could see him, but he refused so I thought I’d take you myself.” Jae-ha smiled warmly at her, brushing a stray lock from her face. “You want to see Hak, don’t you?”

 ‘I want to see all of you, not just Hak…’ Yona thought to herself, but then worried about the danger it could present with close eyes on her now. She then yanked her hand away from his grasp. “… I’m not going. It’ll be troublesome if I get wet and I want to be alone.”

 Jae-ha looked at her shocked, frowning at her excuse. “Now that’s the lamest excuse I’ve ever heard Yona dear, you don’t have to lie to me.”

 Yona stiffened as she saw through her, of course he did. “… Please… It’s for everyone’s own good… And tell Hak I don’t need a bodyguard.”

 “Yona seriously…” Jae-ha growled, grabbing her hand again and looking at her sternly. “What did they say to you? Did they threaten us? Threaten Hak? Is that why you’re trapped up here like a prisoner in this tower? This isn’t like you, where’s the girl that tried to take on the Tully Tribe Leader herself and kicked a man in the neck that threatened her with a sword? What happened that has you so shaken up that-“

 “Princess Yona?” Joo-doh’s voice came just then.

 “Go now! Before they see you!” Yona said, pushing him towards the window.

 The Green Dragon hissed, jumping out the window but he stayed nearby, listening as she gave an excuse the rain was coming in.

 Yona sighed, hoping Jae-ha was gone as she noticed Joo-doh was going back to his rounds, falling to her knees with her head in her hands, Ao whimpering as she sat on Yona’s dresser as she sobbed. “… I can’t let them get hurt because of me… Just because Soo-won-“ the princess then stiffened as she heard a rustle at her window again, scowling at the Ryokuryuu for coming back in. “Jae-ha I told you to-“

 She was cut off as Jae-ha pulled her into a hug, sighing as he knew he was right. She was trying to protect them all by chasing him away. “… You can’t keep putting yourself below everyone else. We’re supposed to protect you, remember? This isn’t an alliance with you trapped in here, and possibly forced into an arranged marriage with the man that murdered your father? People are rumoring that you’re engaged to Soo-won!”

 Yona frowned at that, pulling back. “… I know… But I’m not. Soo-won set a few people straight on that just… That was all Kye-sook.”

 “It’s not right though, your heart belongs to someone else.” Jae-ha scowled. “They have no right trying to take that from you.”

 Yona’s eyes widened with a massive blush. ‘Oh gods…. Does he know? Did Hak tell him that I-‘

 “Please Yona dear…” Jae-ha caress her cheek, frowning as he did so. “Let me do this for you, you want to tell him don’t you? I promise it won’t take long, just to put his mind at ease…”

 “I do want to tell him… I…” Yona felt her mouth run dry, panic raising as she realized what he was saying. ‘… He… He thinks I love Hak. Oh my god Jae-ha I…’

 Jae-ha smiled at that response, along with her flushed face. “Let me be your legs, princess.” He hummed, using her title for once. “To take you to the man of your dreams to put you at ease.”

 Yona clutched at his shoulder, pulling herself up a bit so their faces were close. She could feel his breath on hers and his hair was dripping onto her dress. Her pupils dilated, her courage building as she knew there was only one way to set him straight. “… You already have.” She said, grabbing him by his robes and mashing her lips against his.

 Jae-ha’s eyes went wide and his brain went numb. Just what was happening? Yona’s warm, soft lips were hard pressed against his, her eyes closed and holding him in place for a few moments before she finally pulled back, her violet eyes fluttering like an innocent lamb that had no idea what she just did…. And then it did hit her and her whole face exploded into a massive blush.

 “Ahhh… Y-you better go! Now!” Yona said, pushing on his chest. “Joo-doh will be back soon enough and- Ekkk!” she shrieked as Jae-ha wrapped his arms around her tightly and his mouth was on hers immediately and demanding. She swore he sucked out all the breath from her lungs from that kiss, and it took all his self restraint to pull back before just devouring her.

 “… You never cease to surprise me, Yona dear…” Jae-ha whispered against her lips before kissing her once more, twice, three times before giving her a seductive look as he nuzzled his nose against hers. “… But really you’re making a dangerous choice, a filthy playboy pirate over your loyal-“

Yona narrowed her eyes as she got her nerve back, flicking his forehead. “…. Don’t you dare put yourself down like that. You are one of the most honorable and caring people I have ever met. You respect my wishes and don’t hold me back. I care about Hak but he’s been part of my family all my life, the brother I  never had. But you…” she flushed as her nerves were faltering, she shut her eyes and just belted it out. “I love you! … I know I’m too young or not experienced enough or not mature of a woman and can’t expect you to settle down but I don’t care! I feel horrible never noticing Hak’s feelings but even he figured out I was in love with you! I wanted to tell you back in the Fire Tribe but then we…” she whimpered. “I nearly lost you several times now and I just couldn’t get the words out… I…” tears welled up, her mind made up she was going to get rejected for it.

 Jae-ha just smiled warmly at her, brushing his thumbs over her eyes to clear her tears. “… I must be dreaming, that’s what this is right?” he hummed, pressing his forehead against hers.

 “What? Jae-ha don’t joke around like that!” Yona whined.

 “You’re amazing Yona dear, the most beautiful and strong woman I’ve ever met. Your determination and will to protect others drew me to you from the start.” Jae-ha hummed, kissing her forehead and cheeks. “… you know you once asked me what I think of you now, compared to that weak little girl back in Awa…”

 Yona gulped, she did ask him that back in Sensei, and he never did answer her. “You said you didn’t want to…”

 “Because I felt I didn’t deserve you, and especially because I was well aware of Hak’s feelings and thought he was better for you….” Jae-ha explained, caressing her cheek. “But the truth is… I love you, Yona.” He whispered, diving in for another kiss.

 Yona felt like her heart exploded, her mind muddled with the fact her crush returned her feelings, making her cry anew but this time tears of happiness. She threw her arms around him, pulling him closer as she kissed him back even though it was quite clumsily for the princess. “Jae-ha…” she sobbed against his lips.

 Jae-ha smiled, slowly pulling back before laying several more light kisses on her face. “If this is a dream, don’t wake me up.” He purred.

 Yona slightly giggled at his remark. “… The things you say that just make me laugh at the darkest of times…” she shook her head. “But really… You should go. If they find out you left there will be trouble.”

 Jae-ha frowned, caressing her cheek. “… There’s a reason you can’t see us, isn’t there? That’s why they said you weren’t well… Can you even move from this room at all?”

 Yona frowned at that, shaking her head. “… Soo-won won’t even meet with me, in fact…” she then blinked, checking if Joo-doh was back yet. “… Jae-ha, do you think you could take me to Soo-won’s study? Fast enough before Joo-doh is back?”

 Jae-ha smirked at that. “You know I can my darling.” He took her hand, giving it a kiss. “What are you planning?”

 There was a serious look in Yona’s eyes, her flare finally coming back. “… If Soo-won won’t meet with me, it’s about time I force my way to him.”

Misunderstanding

A Hak and Yona fanfiction  base off of the extra chapter ‘Wishing You Sweet Dreams Tonight’

Summary: This is and alternative ending to the extra chapter, where Hak actually stays in the bed.

Because the princess in Hiryuu Castle doesn’t know the ways of the world, she`s a little naive.

“Uhm....Hak?”

The princess`s personal bodyguard general Son Hak buried his feelings for the princess in his heart, and practices diligently each day.

“Next! Hurry up! Tuck in your arms!” Hak`s voice could be heard shout across the courtyard, as he trained the soldiers in the castle. “Too weak! Next! What is it?”

��Can you sleep with me tonight?” the princess asked her bodyguard inocently, well completely innocently as she had no idea what she was saying.

The shock of the question had caught her bodyguard of guard, as he accidently sent one of the soldiers flying. Shouts could be heard from the other soldiers, “Waaaah! General Hak, are you crazy!? Someone call the doctor!”

“There are ghosts?” the general questioned in disbelief.

“Yeah...” was the small reply.

Out of sheer annoyance at the ridiculous claim from the princess, Hak turned to leave, muttering to himself, “This is stupid.”

“Ah! Hak, don’t leave me!” Yona shouted as she gripped onto the back of Hak`s outer robe, trying with all her willpower to shop him from leaving. Even though, he was dragging her with him.

Once she finally got Hak to stop, she explained her reasoning for such a ridiculous claim about ghosts. “Last night, when I woke up, I heard a strange noise, and I felt like my body was being held down by something heavy!”

Hak just stared at the princess wondering ‘Is this what they call sleep paralysis?’

“Do you want me to call the maids over?” Hak asked the red haired princess.

“...No, they don’t believe me,” Yona replied, with what appeared to be a melancholy expression. “You are really strong right, Hak? If the ghosts appear again, i hope Hak can help me get rid of them.”

After a moment of deliberation, her bodyguard gave his answer, “...I understand”

“Then my job tonight is just to sleep together with you, right? Excuse me,” hak said while climbing into Yona`s bed.

After Hak got settled in the bed, Yona crawled in on the other side of the bed. Not knowing the implication of the situation if anyone were to find them. After a few moments, Hak jumped out of the bed, a flush coming up to heat his cheeks.

Shocked that the princess would just get in the bed with him, Hak, loudly, questioned his princess, “WHY DIDN’T YOU SAY SOMETHING!! WHY DID YOU JUST IN WITHOUT A WORD?!”

“It doesn’t matter, just stay beside me!” she answered back, though not as loud as her bodyguard.

Disbelief spread through Hak at the princess`s statement. With he fierce gaze set upon him, he felt the heat rise to his face again and wondered, ‘What kind of torture is this...?’

After a moment’s hesitation, he asked the question he really didn’t want the answer too, “Do you want someone to ask Soo-Won to sleep with you tomorrow?”

“If you did that, then I would be too embarrassed,” not the answer Hak was expecting, but his heart was great-full for.

“It`s not like that, I just want you to stay beside me. Just sit here, here, here!” she made her point of where she wanted him to sit by repeatedly smacking her bed whenever she said ‘here’.

‘If I think she`s actually cute, then I lose’ the strong general Hak, was battling with something right now. After failing and think she`s cute, he gave in, ‘Damn it’.

Giving in to his princess`s demand, Hak sat on the edge of her bed, feeling slightly uncomfortable and awkward about the situation, “Jeez... is this okay?”

‘Yeah, oh and... give me your finger,” the red haired princess asked her companion.

Never missing an opportunity to tease his princess, Hak had decided to take her request more literally, “You want me to cut it off?”

“No...put your hand here,” done with the stupid teasing of her bodyguard, Yona answered his dumb question, while also reaching out her hand in hopes that Hak would give her his.

Reluctantly, Hak had given in and ‘gave’ Yona his finger, and was shocked to see how she held onto it like it was some sort of tether to the real world. Having seen the flush on his princess`s check, Hak had to fight himself, not knowing what to do or say in this situation. Finally finding the words to say, he says, “...Hime, I feel like you’re acting a little weird...”

“...Before the sleep paralysis, I had a really scary dream..”

“Dream?” he questioned.

“It was a pitch black night and...” scenes of her dream were running through her head. The darkness of the night, the torches of the people chasing them, and the warmth of Hak`s hand as he pulled her to follow him, “You and I were being chased from the capital. We kept running through the darkness...”

A sudden change in Yona`s voice and dread seen on her face made Hak listen more intently to this ‘dream’. Suddenly, for Yona, the scene from her dream flashed and changed before her eyes. Now all she saw was blood splatter everywhere, as she cradled an unmoving Hak in her arms, “When I raised my head, you were covered in blood. No matter how much I called your name... you never responded.”

“After that, I woke up, but you weren’t beside me. I wanted to call out to you, but I couldn’t control my body at all. It was so scary!” the grip she had on Hak`s finger had tightened, “I don’t want to go through that again... so tonight... even if it`s just your little finger, let me hold on to it.”

Having seen the amount of pain the dream had put her through, Hak suddenly pulled his finger your of Yona`s grasp causing her to stare at him in disbelief. She was about to protests, but was stopped when Hak spoke, “Alright then, move over a little.”

“Huh?” was all he got in reply.

“If you want me to `sleep with you`, as you put it. Then move over a bit,” coming out of her shock, Yona quickly scootched over, allowing Hak room to get in the bed. As he climbed in the between the sheets, for the second time that night, he thought to himself, ‘What am I doing?! This is not a good idea!! Abort! Abort!’

Once Hak was fully in the bed and comfortable and stretching, he questioned the princess, “ This make you feel better?”

Expecting a worded reply, its needless to say that the general was shocked and the reply he got from his princess; was here clinging onto his arm and snuggling up against his side, “ This is much better, thank you Hak.” At the same time that the a small smile was creeping up on Yona`s face, Hak was left with facing the consequences of his earlier decision as his hair had turned as read as his beloved`s hair.

Within minutes of becoming comfortable, Hak could hear the soft snores coming from the small woman lying beside him. Not believing the situation he was in, Hak had to pinch himself, with his un-restrained arm, to make sure that this was real, that he was lying in the Princess`s bed, and with her lying next to him.

‘Ouch! So this isn’t a dream’ he thought after pinching himself, ‘Oh man, Mundok would kill me. That makes this even better.’ Hak smiled to himself.

After making sure it was real, he decided that he should at least try, and get some sleep. Not long after closing his eyes, Hak was fast asleep.

Hak woke to the feel of someone shifting next to him, he tried to stop the movement by holding it tighter, so they didn’t disturb his sleep any longer. Curious to see who or what it was, the general cracked open an eye, to see the head of the princess against his chest, her hands curled up into the front of his robe; meanwhile he was hugging her to his chest.

‘Man, this is some dream. Whatever gods are out there, please never let me wake up’ was what the thunder beast thought. Though that thought was interrupted by the sound of someone clearing their throat by the door.

“Ahem!”

That caught the general`s attention, as he looked up and saw the king staring at him and Yona smiling, though he did tried and cover it with his hand. Now fully awake, Hak jolted, waking up the sleeping crimson haired princess.

“Mhmm.... Hak?” she asked, as she was curious about why her bodyguard had shifted.

“Well... good morning Yona, General Hak,” king Il said with a sly smile.

“Ahhhhh! F-fa-father, th-this isn’t...,” Yona started but realised that her friend was still in her bed; frozen from the shock of the kings appearance, and she shove her previous sleeping buddy off of the bed and onto the hard floor.

“King Il, this i-is just a mis-misunderstanding...” both the general and princess where both blabbering and stuttering while trying to explain what was going on.

Meanwhile His Majesty was laughing at the two red faced teenagers, hiding his smile behind his hand, as he walked out of his daughters room.

Both Hak, and Yona were left as blubbering messes.

Happy 32nd Birthday Nobuhiko Okamoto!

Personal Note:

I’ve been preparing for a while because I wanted to make this with a lot more thought. Sorry for the length of this post. I spent quite a bit of time on it, but I didn’t realize it would get so long! He is one of my top favourite voice actors (both English and Japanese) ever. To me, he’s a relatable, awesome, and passionate inspiration. He puts his all into every role he does, and he never gives up no matter who tells him to. 

I could probably go on about how much I like many of the roles he’s done, but that would be a whole other essay in itself. I even considered watching Corpse Party (the scaredy cat I am) because I heard he was in it. Yeah, I’m one of those people who gets drawn to anime when I figure out certain studios and voice actors are attached to it. I have watched a few episodes of some really bad anime because I heard he was in it. No regrets! Okay, maybe I have a few... I still haven’t watched them all though! I plan on watching a ton more, and that includes a few bad apples here and there.

Despite all the hurdles and adversity he faces, he overcomes it! He has had so many amazing roles, he sings, he’s good at shogi, and he’s just a good person. I respect him a lot. Honestly, I can’t word stuff too well, but I sincerely hope he continues working, maybe gets married and has kids (since he said he wanted to), and experiences all the happiness he deserves.

[I watched around 5 episodes of this one. His bishounen game is very strong.]

Takeru Fujiwara* - Prince of Stride

[These anime characters run like how I run from my life responsibilities and problems. His bishounen game is also very strong. The strong and silent type is always popular. Sadly, I’m the quiet and extremely frail and weak type.]

Shouta Kisa* - Sekaiichi Hatsukoi

[According to Tumblr, he has never done an R-rated (18+) BLCD, but he has been in some shounen-ai anime.]

Issac Foster - Satsuriku no Tenshi

[My reaction to this anime. Don’t worry, I’m following this to the end.]

Ryousuke Kominato - Diamond no Ace

Ryou Kurokiba* - Shokugeki no Souma

Age - Sakasama no Patema

[Yeah, that’s his actual name. If you name your child something that stupid, I would personally like to have a word with you. This movie was really nice though.]

Accelerator* - Toaru Majutsu no Index

[I had to include his laugh to this]

Jurai Andou - Inobato (Inou-Battle wa Nichijou-kei no Naka de)

[And jail is just a building you live in! I can’t remember the context of this line.]

Kiyoharu Hyoudou - Welcome to the Ballroom

Yoichi Saotome* - Owari no Seraph

Eiji Niizuma* - Bakuman

[Recommended Clip]

Obi - Akagami no Shirayuki-hime

[When he looks into the mirror and realizes he’s missing his eyebrows.]

Takumi Usui* - Kaichou wa Maid-sama

Yuu Nishinoya* - Haikyuu

[Recommended Clip: ROLLING THUNDER!]

Rin Okumura - Ao no Exorcist

[He’s such a likeable protagonist. Recommended clip: Rin x Shiemi because they’re adorable]

Mikoto Mikoshiba - Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun

[This character made me laugh so much. He and Seo are my favourites. I haven’t seen another amazing anime with both Miyuki Sawashiro and Nobu. They’re my two favourites. I hope to see them acting together eventually (even if Mikorin and Seo never really communicated). Thanks to Nobu, we have a voice to this madly embarassed bishounen. Recommended Clips: Mikorin Clips, Mixer Clip]

Katsuki “Kacchan” Bakugou - Boku no Hero Academia

[Bakugou might not always be my cup of tea as a character, but his voice made me like him somewhat anyway whether he’s an asshole or not. There are a few scenes in season three that hit me with mad feels,, but even during season one and two, Nobu aced this role. This role is what shot him up to one of my favourite voice actors. Recommended Clips: Rage moments, Kacchan vs Deku audio segment (scroll down a little for this Tumblr post), Salty Bakugou S1]

Karma Akabane - Assassination Classroom

[While Bakugou is one type of crazy, Karma is another. Honestly, he’s such a sly, cunning, and mischievous character, but that’s what we all like about him, right?]

Trailblazer Arrangement:

This is my first time transcribing a song and arranging it! I improvised and made up some stuff (mostly guitar solos that just didn’t fit as well logically on piano). I usually don’t like (actually, I kinda hate) transcribing because it’s basically like trying to copy down a book that someone reads aloud (and you can’t look at the text). But it was worth doing this! He’s definitely not my favourite singer, but I’d still listen to him.

I didn't want to go with an original score for this one because I felt like I wanted to improve a lot more as a composer and artist (as if I'm qualified enough to be called those terms). When I make one for him, I want to go all out.

Facts:

I found some other interesting facts online. There are quite a few different sources. I’ll try to list them below all the facts (but I might link them to the actual facts as well. There are a lot, so there’s that.

All [Nat Notes] will be put between square brackets “[these]”.

These are all from THIS POST:

After graduating from secondary school, he entered some voice acting training courses associated with his agency (Pro-Fit) to pursue his dream as a seiyuu.

To be able to pay for his training, he worked at a 7-Eleven and a post office.

His family is very strict and conservative.

He was into video games when he was younger, but his parents were against letting him play video games and ended up limiting him to a one-hour per day time limit [THIS POOR BOI]

[Regarding his gaming] his parents told him, “If you want to play games, you can play shogi.” This ended up being the reason he started playing shogi.

He is a practicing Catholic [ironic since one of his most iconic roles is playing the son of Satan]

He’s a 3rd dan ranked shogi player, and he once aimed to be a professional shogi player.

He has a huge love for sweets. I follow his blog, and a lot of his posts involve sweets.

“His favourite [candy bar] would be Black Thunder chocolate bars (same as Kamiya Hiroshi and Ono Daisuke), and at one point, he always ends up buying Black Thunder by the box, stocking up on it, and eating up to 10 bars in one day, that his agency decided to restrict him into eating just one bar a day.” [let the poor guy eat his chocolate]

He is easily bullied by other seiyuu [check out the original post which has gifs of his mishaps]

“[While recording] …he ran away from the mic, forgetting that he was wearing headphones connected to the mic and ended up messing up the recording room, and the staff had to rearrange everything.”

He’s a big fan of Pokemon [He now plays Gladion in Pokemon Sun & Moon]

These are from “More Nobu Facts”

“As a student, he used to fall asleep on the train and miss his destinations sometimes. He thinks that it’s really comfortable to take a nap there.” [Yeah, you say that until you somehow end up in the middle of nowhere and wonder where you are and why you even exist.]

“He suffers from hay fever in the spring. Said that the symptoms kill him.” [You and me both except mine are year-round and gradually getting worse.]

“He played with Lego bricks when he was a kid.” [If he’s the type of person who left out the bricks and made people experience pain because of it, I will personally leave Lego bricks outside his door. Those things hurt when they’re unexpected.]

“He loves the indoor life.” [don’t we all…]

“He read the Harry Potter series.” [I did too! Not that I remember any of it.]

“His cute, foreign Furby only speaks English. Noburin stated, “English is very hard.”” [HOW DO PEOPLE SLEEP KNOWING THEY OWN ONE OF THOSE? I WOULD BURN IT IF I GOT ONE.]

“In elementary school, the girl he liked gave him chocolate on Valentine’s Day. He said he felt like crying from the shock.” [I haven’t experienced that. Was he happy because it was that girl who gave him chocolate or because he got free chocolate?]

“He was hospitalized before when he was a child due to a bad cold (or maybe the flu).” [Well, that diet sure doesn’t help, and I doubt screaming all the time is good for you. Weirdly, I can’t say anything more than that because I do both too except I scream internally while he does it as his profession.]

He tends to get sick within the first two weeks of October, right before his birthday. [I wish you luck!]

He likes to watch lightning and thinks that it’s cool. [I’M SO SCARED OF THUNDER]

During the summer as a kid, he liked to catch cicadas and dragonflies, and play with water guns. [SAME DUDE]

He was in the badminton club during secondary school.

These are all from his Q&A! [Part 1], [Part 2], [Part 3], [Part 4]:

I’m not going to include quotation marks for this one for the most part. I changed some awkward phrasing. I left out some questions from the original posts as well. Check the sources out!

XD (I usually say something along the lines of, “Is that a caterpillar on your face? It’s so thick and bushy! It looks like you took hair from your head and put it on your eyebrow! Maybe you can’t grow facial hair because all of it goes to those eyebrows.”)]

What countries do you want to go abroad?: Italy. [He recently said he wants to go to Italy for gelato and to be honest, I relate. Europe has good chocolate and cheese from what I hear.]

What would you tell your past-self (10 years ago)?: “Don’t give up and eat your dinner properly!” [I tell that to myself now XD If I were to send a message to myself, it would be something along the lines of, “What you feel, what you think, and what you believe is important. Listen to yourself. At the end of the day, you will figure out what to do. Don’t be afraid of being alone, and don’t be afraid to wander. Loosen up.”]

What would you message to your future-self (10 years from now)?: “The you in his twenties is having lots of fun. Are you having fun?” [Message for me ten years from now: PLEASE TELL ME YOU AREN’T AS DEEP INTO VOICE ACTORS AND ANIMATION. I BEG YOU, GET A LIFE.]

If the world was going to perish in 24 hours, what would you do? Gather all my friends and family, and have a BBQ party. [I would just write something in case it resurfaces. I would want to write my thoughts, opinions, and experiences along with the people around me.]  

Where do you want to work?: A place where I could grow. [Same!]

What are your thoughts when you look back at 2010? I issued a sex appeal to play [Usui], and worked hard to reach the targets! [From the amount of screaming fangirls, I think you did just fine.]

What is your current aim?: To be more playful and get more out of acting.

Finally, a message to the world: I’ll work hard from now on to make a voice that everyone will not have a hard time to listen to. Thank you for your support! [Thank you Nobu! You inspire a lot of people (including me) everyday!]

[kindestegg]

ok i actually REALLY LIKE those new eps so MAJOR mlp season 8 spoilers under the cut

the first ep i watched was the one about the cmc helping a hypogriff/seapony who couldnt decide between one or the other. it was very very sweet n i loved how it was all handled, i love the idea of hypogriffs n seaponies splitting into diff cultures, which is not only a nice way of mlp showing how diff ethnicities n cultures can germinate, but also it made for a nice biracial metaphor with the teen hypogriff/seapony the cmc were helping n how he felt divided initially. also that was a KILLER song, damn

second ep i watched was the hearts n hooves one n oh my god. i was SO scared about it at first bc like. hearts n hooves?? with discord in it?? PLEASE NO, not to mention it was also a spike n big mac ep n i wasnt rly all too impressed with dungeons n discords so i had my hopes in the low for discords characterization but i RLY loved it. making discord a cynical ass gay who constantly criticizes *cough* heterosexual *cough* love n hearts n hooves day (specifically as a commercialized holiday god i loved that line) was super good, n the only thing that irked me a little bit was spike going ‘ay cmon discord what about you n fluttershy’ but even that wasnt much of a problem bc it was handled as discord basically being like ‘... i dont know what youre talking about i just like having tea’ n then it wasnt touched upon again so i guess?? were all safe for now. also lyra/bonbon still canon. only other thing that disappointed me was how the cmc seemed so bent on only considering stallions as secret admirers, but the ending with them was sweet so idc.

third was the chrysalis one (n i was shocked it wasnt a two parter season openeder n actually at the middle) n honestly, im glad this one didnt have the bg music because it just made it more hilarious n lost most of the dramatic tone. if you want a basic summary its literally just: chrysalis creates 6 awful daughters who cannot n will not stay put or listen to her to terrorize the mane 6 but instead theyre so uncooperative they all get split up, also some weird body horror at the end like oh my god?? tree of harmony is fucking metal with its defenses jfc. overall rly sweet ep, i liked how the mane 6 didnt even have to figure out they were dealing with some magic copy bullshit to apologize to each other n solve their problems, they all recognized where they went wrong n decided they should still be friends. also chrysalis being tormented by how the mean 6 behave was hilarious to watch.

fourth was the one w applejack n rainbow dash wanting to be teachers n imo the weakest one, but i LOVED seeing all the students, i overall just rly love the concept of the friendship school, its actually one of the season themes thats rly gotten me in love with it, i cant remember being this excited for a season theme since season 4 n the keys theme. that being said, i was kinda rolling my eyes at applejack n rainbow dash the whole ep, i mean, even twilight said it, they already learned that lesson. its one of those eps that gave me a lot of second hand embarrassment, but it was worth it just for seeing more of the friendship school. also yona is rly cute, i might kin her, specially since i think the yaks might be russian? but im not sure

First Night Back in Fuuga Ch 42: Making Up

Ao3 Link to Chapter 42

Summary: Yona and Hak release their tension; Soo-Won learns gamechanger information about the past

"Ahhhhhh!" Grunting, swords, and sweat fill the training grounds.

The Sky warriors haven't worked so hard in their lives as they have in the past few days. They have a new fear in them about Hak. And an undeniable respect for him as a warrior. If any of them are working against him... they certainly must be conflicted about things right now.

That is not a man to fuck with.

Joo-Doh glances around the field. "Where's the Thunder Beast?"

Hak is frozen. Rip the rest of this gear off? Or... charge the princess and take her in my arms… Wait. Did she just ask me if I MIND?!

Yona watches her personal warrior as still as that first time she kissed him in Ogi’s back alley hideout. Given what happened between them after, she knows that this reaction from Hak is actually some kind of confused ecstasy.

They both know his mind doesn’t allow him to believe he deserves the good things that happen in his life. Being loved. Wanted.

But Yona knows how her husband feels about sex. She’s felt the rapture in his trembling body and the loss on his softly parted lips while he’s been inside her. She’s seen the wonder in those beautiful blue eyes as all his inhibitions and insecurities have flitted away as he's lost his mind. Sometimes, Hak is just a mortal man.

So no matter what’s going on between them, she knows there’s a chance...

The way a mischievous smile rises on Yona’s face, Hak knows he’s about to be fully at her mercy. This girl is literally the only Koukan in existence who can bring him to his knees, begging and obedient. She can land him there in seconds.

Yona advances, eager and hopeful. She boldly reaches forward. Feels his hardness through the cloth of his pants.

Hak does a sharp intake of air like he’s just held his breath for two minutes. His eyes cloud over as he feels her small hand grip and stroke him, coaxing him to need her. Now. And he's needed her for days, desperately.

Yona doesn’t let go of him as she reaches her other hand up to gently guide his face down to hers. He’s intoxicated by her touch, her smell, her want of him. As he follows her lead and takes her lips with his, he feels his hips involuntarily press forward against her hand, yearning all the way to her body.

As the tip makes contact through all the fabric between them, all the blood in Hak’s body flashes with heat. He wraps his arms around Yona and pulls her tighter against him still.

Their kiss is deep and slow. To someone watching, it’d look like they’re trying to devour each other. But really, they’re desperately trying to get as close as possible. Though nothing could be enough. And so they press their soft surfaces hard against one another. Their tongues flick and rub between their mouths.

Yona moans into Hak. He wants to make her moan more -- when she starts getting loud, that’s when she really starts melting into his arms.

And Yona is melting -- the way he moves his mouth over hers, encompasses her figure within his broad shoulders, her thighs can’t help but get weak. Her core tightens inside, aching for him to enter and take all his pleasure from her welcoming body.

“Yona,” he praises as he gasps for a respite, to orient himself in this sudden rush of passion.

But she’s already pushing his pants down. And he’s already dropping the robe from his shoulders.

There’s a better place, a better way for all this. But etiquette has been all but replaced by need now. There’s no space for thinking, only doing. And it’s all so natural.

Hak moves his hands down to Yona’s hips and tugs slightly to tease them up. Yona responds by jumping up. He pulls her against his abs as she wraps her legs around his torso.

Hak carries her toward a table as they continue making out and her wetness slips across his abs. There’s no time to take off shoes or finish getting Hak’s clothes off. He sets her bare bottom on some fabric on the table. He looks deep into her eyes to see if this is all OK.

It’s a sacred moment shared between them. Their gaze into one another with sincerity, love, and hope. Words aren’t needed. But all humans still try-

“I missed you,” Hak professes.

Yona feels a shock of joy, then replies, “I wanted you.”

Yona can see the words touch him as they hold their gaze. Then he swoops down to kiss her and she can feel his smile against her lips.

Hak’s hands ghost down to her hips and-

“Hhh,” Yona feels him enter her.

Hak’s hands splay out across her back to hold her steady as he begins to thrust. As his movements become more powerful, the table begins to rock. Yona gasps out in pleasure as everything on the table -- except her -- begins to fall off. Cups. Weapons, Sharpening stones. Shoes.

“Nng. Yes. Harder, harder,” she begs.

Hak complies, his mouth parted and breathing heavy. Yona throws her head back, her hardened, swollen breasts moving like waves beneath him.

The door’s closed. Odd.

Joo-Doh reaches out to try the knob when he hears it -- something pounding against the wall. A man’s grunts. A woman’s cries of pleasure. Things falling??

The Sky general raises a single hand to halt all the warriors who were following him. “I think we should return to the grounds.”

The halted warriors suddenly notice the sounds. One half of the fighters blush while the other half glance over with fascination.

“Hak!” Yona’s voice carries through the wall as the banging gets louder.

“Now!” Joo-Doh threatens, mortified.

All the warriors' eyes go wide as they scurry to head back to work.

Joo-Doh turns to see Jae-Ha standing at the end of one of the porticos.

“Don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on the door,” Jae-Ha affirms.

Joo-Doh pushes air out of his nose, then huffs back to the training grounds.

Jae-Ha smiles at the scene. Way to go, Little Brother. I knew you'd get your priorities straight.

“Ahh ahh,” Hak comes into Yona in long spurts, his hands tensing against her back and his dark hair a mess against his cheeks and forehead.

“Mmm,” she smiles, leaning her forehead up against his. She’s never orgasmed multiple times from a single penetration like that before. She’s in awe how the pregnancy has made her walls so sensitive from the extra bloodflow.

Hak sneaks a peck onto her lips, then trails kisses down her neck. Yona moves her hands up over his gorgeously-defined pecks, her thumb tracing over scars along the way.

“Hak?” Yona asks.

“Mm?” He’s distracted but trying to listen.

“Hold me?”

He glances up from the arm he was kissing and smiles at her. In an instant she’s in his arms being carried.

Hak stops to assess the room and smiles wryly at how much they knocked onto the floor. Then he sees his robes. He lays them out on the dirt floor, then lays Yona on them, putting some of his clean robes over her to keep her warm. He pulls her into his arms.

They lie there staring at each other, he playing with her hair, she gathering her courage.

“It’s really hard on me... when we don’t do that,” Yona admits with a blush.

Hak stops moving to process this. “...on you?”

Yona tries to understand his shock. “Wait… you wanted to, too?”

A corner of Hak’s mouth pulls back as he runs a hand through his hair and considers how to answer that one. “Princess… I plan to live a very long time because it’s my job to make sure you live a very long time. And for that entire time, you don’t ever need to ask that question. The answer is always gonna be yes.” He lets out a breath, then adds, “You have no idea.”

Yona snuggles up against him, “That makes me happy.”

They canoodle for a good while longer before Yona has the courage to bring up that other topic...

“Jae-Ha told me about the gift.”

Hak scowls toward the door. “He did, did he?”

“And that he told you about Lili.”

Hak immediately softens and looks down at her.

Yona looks up at him with her big amethyst eyes. “Are you mad at me?”

“Mad? Because someone made a move on you when you were pretending we weren’t together?”

Yona considers that response with a super cute hard-think face. Then, “Oh. When you say it like that… it doesn’t seem like such a big deal.”

“I’m sad though.”

“Huh?”

“You were afraid to tell me.”

“Oh. Hak… I just… I don’t know, It felt like something wrong had happened at the time. And you don’t know Lili like I do. I still wanted you to be open to giving her a chance.”

Hak keeps his sad gaze on Yona. She still sees him as coming up short in forgiveness. He doesn’t need to wonder why.

Yona switches the subject- “Would you ever consider using concubines? I know it’s normal in the history of the palace, it just never occurred to me as something we’d ever... do.”

“Never.”

The speed of Hak’s reply gives Yona’s heart a flutter. “Really?”

“I wouldn’t ever do something that could damage our relationship. And I don’t even want to. Why would I? I’m next to the coolest, most badass and beautiful wife in Kouka. I’d be an idiot to take my eyes off you for a second.”

Not that he cares to mention it, but he also spent most of his life watching the sole object of his affection show affection toward someone else right in front of him. He knows that fucking agony. But he has nothing to complain about anymore. He’d do it all over again for Yona.

"Just checking. Sometimes you are an idiot, you know."

Hak looks at her adoringly. "Me? Never."

Yona slips out from under his robe and climbs onto him. He gracefully rolls onto his back, welcoming any and all advances. She moves her hands into his hair as she kisses him.

"As long as you're all mine, I'll take every version of you."

Hak smiles. "All of them?"

Yona considers. "Most."

"I'm a package deal."

"Behave."

Yona feels his hardness against her back. She starts feeling the heat rise in her again. As she leans in for another kiss, she whispers, "Don't behave."

Hak nibbles her lower lip, then she lifts herself and slides down onto his most sensitive place. They begin to make love again -- slowly, intimately.

Joo-Doh is back. Jae-Ha looks down from the red roof and shakes his head no.

Moments later when Joo-Doh arrives back at the training field, he looks to the west at the setting sun.

“Head to dinner,” he commands.

“In our gear?” The warriors never do this.

Joo-Doh doesn’t say a word but starts heading toward the dining hall himself. Enough already.

The soldiers trade impressed glances. There’s some serious stamina going on back there.

In their third round, Hak is thrusting deep into Yona from behind. She’s on her knees with her legs close together, which makes it as tight as possible for him.

They’re both loud and sweaty at this point, but in no way tiring of their intimacy.

Yona reaches under herself to grab his balls and massage them as he continues. He bends down over her so he can knead one of her breasts.

Hak’s face is almost pained from the pleasure as he climaxes into her once more. Yona savors the amazing feeling of his warmth filling inside her. She tingles at every extremity and cherishes the effort to catch the breath he took away from her.

When he pulls her back into his arms, they confide once more about the recent days apart. About the ridiculous requests, gifts, and company. How easily things like that could get overwhelming and split them apart. But that they’re a team and need to put each other first. No more secrets. No more days without touching.

“Are you sure you still want to be king?” Yona asks.

“That’s a silly question,” Hak snorts.

“...I thought it was a good one.”

“I’ve never wanted to be king.”

“Oh. Then why’d you-”

“I need to be king. That’s why I don’t want to be consort. As much as I’d love to be your sex slave husband, Princess,” he loves her shock at that sentiment, “the more power I have, the better I can protect you. And the better you’re protected, the more Kouka will flourish.”

Yona is touched, “You’ll even put up with the ridiculous nobles and court politics for that?”

Hak turns his head to smile at her, “Anything.”

He reaches out and holds his hand just an inch from her ever-so-slight pregnancy bump, then he closes his eyes as he closes that gap and touches her there. He feels that fullness he’s been dreaming about. And he’s so damn happy he could cry.

It’s the most incredible thing he’s ever felt.

Yona sees Hak’s expression… and it’s better than any laugh or smile she’s ever been delighted to put on his face.

It’s the most incredible thing she’s ever seen.

Yona and Hak are starving as they wander into the dining hall at the end of everyone’s supper. They’re both looking a little disheveled, but glowing. And luckily Jae-Ha had a change for Yona so she’s clothed in more than just a cloak.

Joo-Doh watches them, grumbly but also a little touched. He knew those kids since they were so small… it’s not so bad to acknowledge that not all of that ended in tragedy.

The Sky warriors there are still in their gear -- a topic of much conversation. One thing is for certain, the rumors of the torrid romance and surely-coming heir from Kouka’s soon-to-be new rulers won’t be dying down anytime soon. It’s all starting to build into something of a proud legend.

And moments later when Hak announces in apology to the still-geared-up warriors that they won't be working these hours any longer, the fascinating mythology around him only grows.

"Having something to fight for makes the best warriors. Make sure you see your families. I don't need us forgetting why we're here."

Soo-Won stares into the fog at the edge of the woods once again.

The village is surrounded by a thicket in every direction. It’s a perfect shroud to keep someone from entering this hidden place. And it’s beyond frustrating for anyone waiting for that very thing to happen.

“Worse than watching water come to a boil, I’d imagine,” Ik-Soo suggests as he arrives behind him.

Soo-Won smiles softly but doesn’t turn to face the priest-now-friend, “I have faith.”

“Isn’t it amazing?” Ik-Soo joins in awe, “Only when we accept we don’t have control over when or how things manifest, then can we truly see.”

Soo-Won suppresses a laugh, fully aware that they’re two guys staring into a dark thicket, one of which with a mat of hair over his eyes.

“Come with me.”

Ik-Soo leads Soo-Won out the other side of the forest to where he can look over a hill. The moon shines down on them now. And even in the darkness of night, Soo-Won can see more than he ever could from the village.

“It’s brave of you to show me a way out,” Soo-Won offers.

“I have trust.”

Soo-Won takes a deep breath. He feels his heart calm to be standing in an open expanse. It’s been too long. And it's unbelievable that he's standing here, painless, inside and out. Well, mostly. He just needs to see Yona. When he sees her, then...

“Your goals have always been set on the wrong thing.”

Soo-Won looks at Ik-Soo, curious what he means.

“Seeing the princess right now is something… but it’s not the root. It won’t cut out the pain.”

“...I’ve never met anyone who can heal others like Yona," Soo-Won confesses. "Maybe she could even heal me.”

Ik-Soo folds his hands together and lets out a deep breath, amazed by what he just heard.

“Then there’s something you must know. The final piece I will share with you.”

Soo-Won looks up at the moon and braces himself.

“I’m ready.”

“As I mentioned before -- after the beheadings at Xing, your father lost everything. Not just the crown… he had seen a darkness within himself with which he could not cope. Neither could his father nor his brother -- King Il. But the person who could see past that, to the man he once was and could once again be, was Yona’s mother. They developed a close friendship and she helped him heal. For that… he fell in love with her. Which is exactly what led to her death.”

Ik-Soo turns to look at Soo-Won. The once-king is no longer looking at the moon, but directly back at Ik-Soo. Tears in his eyes.

“King Il? Did he kill her? Tell me she was unfaithful to him. Tell me it was he who…”

Ik-Soo knows why the boy is begging for that to be true. But there is only one truth.

“She wasn’t unfaithful. But that did not stop the jealousy. Neither King Il nor your father ended her life.”

Soo-Won gasps as he lowers his head and tries to breathe. He’s realizing something that’s shaking the core of his foundation, his life. And in his heart, it all clicks right into place. Like he always knew. And always denied it.

“Should I give you some time alone?”

Soo-Won shakes his head, angry, determined. “No. I have... wasted… too much time.”

“I hope you understand now why the princess cannot be your path to salvation.”

They stand in silence for a time before Ik-Soo begins to wander away.

“Wait,” Soo-Won calls after.

Ik-Soo turns.

“Tell me… my father. That’s the only part that doesn’t make sense. If it wasn’t King Il who murdered him… I know it couldn’t have been…,” Soo-Won cannot even bear to say the name, “Then who?”

“After Yona’s mother died, Soo-Won... your father ended his own life.”

And for only the second time in his entire life, Soo-Won collapses to the ground against his will. And he sobs.

The first time was as a guilt-ridden friend, silent heaves in secret the night Tae-Jun told him Hak and Yona had fallen from a cliff and died.

This time, it is as a left-behind son, agony at the realization that the years of pain from missing his idol, his father… were by his father’s own doing. And that without intention, Soo-Won himself had almost taken the same way out of darkness.

No. Never again. Now alone, Soo-Won clasps his hands together and prays up at the moon for strength. He will never again try to take his own life. And he will save Hak and Yona’s.

He rises to face what he has to do. He can tell Yona everything when she gets here. It’s time to end what his parents started, once and for all.

Everlasting Flower: The marketplace by the sea

Anonymous said: Can you write a little thing from the everlasting flower AU where shinha runs into Kaya please?

Anon, I don’t even know if you even follow this blog or this fic anymore, but here it is. I’m so, so sorry for taking this long to write it! Also includes some 2000yo!Kaya and Zeno moments, and Ao being adorable.

Everlasting Flower is a fanfiction AU where Kaya obtains semi-immortality. The masterlist is here.

When she turned back again, Zeno was standing next to her, flushed cheeks and palm over the left side of his chest.

"Zeno just had a heart attack," he chirped with a childish tone.

"From the shock of him getting so close?"

"Noooo, from the cuuuuuuteness!" He gripped his robes inside a fist, as if he was hurting.

"How much, mister?" she asked with a smile, pointing at the herbs.

"Three hundred rin the pack," the salesman said with a bored expression.

Kaya blinked. That sounded excessive, so she asked once more to corroborate. The middle-aged man repeated the same price, so she hadn't misheard with the sounds of the marketplace.

She gave it some consideration. Keeping up with the times was perhaps one of the most challenging problems with immortality. Languages change, attitudes change, ways of thinking change... and faster than anything, economy changes. Currencies don't always have the same worth, and supply and demand affect the value of every item. What feels excessive one day could be, perhaps, a fair value at the time. There was an era when she could have bought a whole bag for only 5 copper coins, maybe back in the first rule of the Han dynasty. They were oval coins, much cuter than the ones in use.

However, she was sure she had bought valerian at 150 rin very recently. Zeno'd gotten a meatbun with the change, hadn't he? A piece fell to the ground and a hungry stray dog tried to snatch the rest. The puppy won, as her husband happily gave it to it. In any case, yes, that wasn't the usual modern price.

"How about 200?" she chimed in.

"No haggling in my shop, baby girl. Full price or scram."

"But... if I pay 300 I won't have enough money for rice and salt, sir."

"Not my problem. Go back to your parents."

Kaya's smile slipped off. One of those stubborn guys, huh? She really needed to stock on her valerian, but their budget was tight and that was the only stand with it in stock. She wasn't going to blame the child for overcharging as she didn't know the cause. Perhaps his supplier was selling it too expensive. Perhaps it was a rare item in this city. Perhaps his family was in a pinch and he needed the money urgently. Or he could just be an ambitious jerk, but that's a dull theory.

Time to rely on the parsley.

"D-do you accept trades?"

"It depends." He scratched inside his ear with his finger. "What you've got, brat?"

Kaya rummaged in her backpack, trying to look as anxious as she could. This plan usually worked better with Zeno as a backup, so hopefully it would be fine anyway. After a minute of moving things around, she took out a satchel with a disappointed face.

"This is the most valuable thing I have on me," she murmured while she opened the satchel, and waited in silence.

"That's fucking parsley. That amount's only like 50 bucks. No deal."

"I-It's not regular parsley, sir!" she cried. "It's Tenchouan parsley!"

"Do you think I'm stupid? Never heard of it."

"It's a variety from Kai Empire, mister. You've really never heard of it? It's really famous."

"I know where Tenchou is, like everyone in Awa. It stlll looks like our parsley, though."

"Look at the leaves; the green color is lighter and they're more star-shaped."

The salesman glared at the plant.

"Okay, it looks kinda different and it even smells stronger. So what? Why do you think that makes it as valuable as valerian?"

"You see," Kaya smiled again, since she loved explaining obscure facts about flora, "Tenchouan parsley is not only appreciated for its shape, but also for its properties. It's great for cleaning your kidneys and regulating your digestion." That part was true. "Koukan parsley is also a bit good for that, but this variety is superior and highly sought by educated healers. It's rarely imported to our country so we don't know all its virtues. Royal chefs have used it for banquets in Hiryuu Castle. Some say brewing it for tea is an aphrodisiac as strong as oysters, but I don't know what that last part means?"

"That's a very detailed answer."

"That's what the peddler who sold it to us said." She bit her lip. "Sir, please! I really need the valerian."

"Hold on here, kid. Hey, Re-jil! Come over a sec."

"What?" A bearded man in his thirties from the back of the stand approached them. Kaya crossed her fingers. This guy would either help or hinder further.

"Have you heard of Tenchouan parsley?" The salesman showed him a branch.

"Yeah, man! My gramps told me about it. It's super rare and supposed to be much better than parsley."

"Is this it?"

"I've never seen it myself but I think so?"

The salesman brought Re-jil aside and they whispered some words. From the older man's expressions, she imagined he had been informed about more rumors. It seems Zeno and her must have talked to this grandfather at some point. She waited, trying to keep a concerned face.

"Well, alright. Guess we can do a deal." Kaya kept her expression while fresh blossomed branches were being packaged, not showing any relief. After all, she always felt slightly bad whenever she traded 'Tenchouan parsley' with people.

"Kaya," she heard behind her. A warm hand was over her shoulder, and she turned around to see Zeno. He held a little paper bag. "What's wrong?"

"Z-Zenooooo. I'm so sorry, I had to trade the parsley for valerian."

"The Tenchouan parsley?!" Zeno's sweet smile disappeared. "But we needed that!"

"I know, I know." Kaya covered from her eyes to her mouth with her hands. "But granny had those pains again. We ran out of medicine!"

She heard Zeno take a deep breath. Then a bang against wood.

"Listen, mister. That thing has way more worth than what you gave my fiancée. It's at least two packages of valerian, maybe three."

"Not my problem anymore. The deal is done, brat. No refunds or changes."

"I'm going to come back and buy it again from you."

"It'll be a thousand rin then."

"W-what?" She heard a pause, and then a whine. "Fine, I'll come back when I get paid on Friday. Let's go, Kaya. Don't cry, okay? Grandma's waiting."

She let out some sobs as Zeno pushed her gently far from the stand. She uncovered once Zeno let her go. He was chuckling.

"Thousand rin for regular parsley with different leaves! And the funny part is that a gullible rich guy will probably pay that much."

"I was hoping to do the trick for senjusou, but it doesn't seem that any shop carries it anymore." Kaya put the valerian inside her bag and started walking along her husband. The sea breeze brushing her dark hair felt refreshing. "Odd, huh? This is Awa."

"Well, it is hard to get in the wild. I imagine any plantation is now under control of the corrupt lord or greedier merchants than this guy. Want some chestnuts? Got them for free!"

"Nah, I'm good. Hey, Zeno! Is it okay if I go to the cape to gather some senjusou while you watch over them?"

"The one with that awful cliff?" Zeno tilted his head as he took a roasted chestnut from his bag. "I'd normally be okay with that, but this time I have to ask you not to. Last time it took me a month to find you again."

"It was two weeks, silly husband. And I was only in the water for one day at most."

"Still, I can't comb the beach and the sea for you this time. The Miss and the others might leave any time soon."

"You're the last dragon, though. They'll come to you."

"Not while I'm hiding like Ryokuryuu." Zeno munched. Kaya wondered what else the poor princess had to do to win Zeno's approval, but he was right: he had to remain close and she could get the herbs in another place and another time. He swallowed and lowered his voice. "Besides, this town makes me uneasy. You should remain next to me, just in case."

"Uneasy? It looks like any port city to me."

"You haven't noticed?"

"Notice what?" Kaya shrugged.

"Oh well. Just don't wander off alone, okay?"

Since Zeno had a good nose for danger and darkness, Kaya decided to trust him. She grabbed his arm and cuddled against him, to his delight. It was better to spend this precious time together until it was the moment to serve Yona after all. She had no doubt it would happen soon despite his indecision.

Her thoughts were interrupted by a high-pitched sound in front of them.

"Pukyuu!"

They both looked around and then below, blinking several times. It was a squirrel, and not any squirrel.

"It's Seiryuu's friend!" Zeno said. He smiled wide and crouched down.

"It must be lost. Oh gosh, it's cuter from up close! Super cute!"

"Hey there! Want some chestnuts?"

Zeno offered one and the animal immediately took it. They watched, mesmerized by the puffy full cheeks and the tiny teeth biting. Once she devoured it, the squirrel jumped and climbed  up his arm, reaching for the rest.

"How cheeky," he grinned. The squirrel had managed to jump inside the bag, only her legs and tail sticking out.

"How clever!" Kaya cooed and petted the furry back. "Not scared of humans at all."

"Yeah, this little miss is so frien— Ah!" Zeno froze, his eyes reacting. Then without a warning, he pushed the bag, rodent included, into Kaya's hands as he trotted away to other stands. So much for staying close in a dangerous town!

Before she went to him, she glanced at the opposite direction. A figure taller than her was looking around with a fretted expression. Or so she thought, since a white fur and a mask covered most of his head. Seiryuu.

"Your ride is here," Kaya whispered to the squirrel. She walked to the boy and touched his shoulder. "Excuse me. Are you looking for this?" She held the bag up. The squirrel's head popped out, cheerful.

"Ao!"

The squirrel jumped up to his shoulder, piece of chestnut between her incisors. The young man's muscles relaxed. He mumbled an attempt of apology and took a bow toward Kaya.

"It's alright! I love animals and she's cute, so I don't mind."

The boy —recently named Shin-ah, Kaya remembered— nodded and turned around. He had taken two steps away when she reacted.

"Oh! Wait!"

Shin-ah stopped and came back. What now? She had called him out of a whim, really wanting to talk to him. They had been walking behind those children for so long! Kaya had other things to do so she wouldn't go to the group when the time would come. Zeno already knew about her decision and had reluctantly accepted the temporary separation. This moment with Seiryuu was her only chance to interact with either of them for a while.

But she was a stranger and he was too shy. Just striking a conversation... she had to be careful not to blow their cover. She smiled kindly, with genuine joy.

"You don't seem to be from around here. Is this your first time in a big marketplace?"

He nodded.

"I remember my first time! Everything was new and exciting, and the crowd was kinda overwhelming, but it was a special memory. Just like the sunshine making the sea sparkly." He just stared while she spoke. Kaya blushed, knowing there were piercing eyes behind. "Someone was really nice and bought me a present back then. So here, you should have something for free to remember today!"

She took his hand and put the bag between his fingers. His mouth opened in surprise. He didn't smile and Kaya couldn't see the look on his face, but she could sense the rising happiness regardless. It took him a couple of seconds to speak again.

"...Thank you." He held the gift with his two hands, like a treasure.

"No problem!" Kaya beamed. The salty breeze shuffled her short hair. "Share them with your friend and your family, okay?"

Shin-ah nodded furiously and bowed once more before running off. She waved goodbye, although not sure if he could see her. When she turned back again, Zeno was standing next to her, flushed cheeks and palm over the left side of his chest.

"Zeno just had a heart attack," he chirped with a childish tone.

"From the shock of him getting so close?"

"Noooo, from the cuuuuuuteness!" He gripped his robes inside a fist, as if he was hurting.

"He was really cute, yeah!"

"You both were really cute!" he corrected and raised his arms. "Cute!"

"Cute, cute!" she followed.

"Although he was just as cute when I first saw him," he said. "I'm glad."

Kaya hadn't gone with him to that trip sixteen years ago, but she had heard his recollections on the three little dragons constantly. She hadn't thought about that story when she gave him the chestnuts, but perhaps her subconscious had acted out. In any case, she was pleased with her gut feeling.

"Alright then!" Zeno grabbed Kaya's hand. "Seiryuu has met with the others now. Let's move on carefully before we miss them."

"Let's!"

In the end, she was glad she wasn't gathering expensive medicinal herbs by the cliffs. There were other places to buy senjusou, in other cities. But she had made a happy memory for a lonely boy who was already family, and she was thankful for the opportunity.

She heard the seagulls' cries from afar. She was certain Zeno would make a great big brother one day. And hopefully in the future, she could be that kid's big sister as well.

[rollzerox]

Rz! Can you write me a piece where Lina and Hak are play fighting and Lina accidentally hurts Hak because is her growing strength?

You’ve got it Mal! Lina is 12 here and this is part of the Road AU which took place during the Four Dragon’s Week prompts

“Ura you need to work more on your focus.” Hak scolded his son a bit after their sparing match. “Now go help your mother with Fuu and the twins.” He pushed the eleven-year-old boy along. The Thunder Beast smiled at the twelve-year-old green and redheaded Ryokuryuu that had been watching. “Want a quick round Lina? You’ve been meaning to practice your sword skills a bit more.” He picked up one of the wooden practice swords he often used to spar with Yona and tossed it to the girl. “You can even try to get me with your kicks this time.”

 “… Are you sure Uncle Dark Dragon?” Lina twisted her mouth. “I mean daddy did warn me not to kick you with my dragon leg, it’s been getting stronger lately.” She sighed as also her father was growing weaker as a result.

 “Please, I’ve take a blow from his leg before, he tried to warn me the same thing.” Hak waved it off. “We used to play fight all the time when you were little, what’s wrong worried you’re getting weak?” he teased, knowing the little girl took after the princess and was easy to provoke.

 Lina puffed up her cheeks. “I’m not weak Uncle Hak! I’m a Dragon Warrior and I need to be able to protect mommy.” She stood up and clutched the practice sword. “Let’s do it!”

 Yoon blinked as while preparing lunch noticed Hak and Lina going at it with the practice swords a bit away from the camp. “Hak is training Lina again I see?”

 Yona shot her head up. “While I would prefer Lina not have to fight while we’re traveling it hasn’t hurt for her to pick up skills along the way.” She sighed. “I just hope Hak doesn’t get in over her head.” She then shoved a hand on Jae-ha’s shoulder as he tried to get up. “Don’t even think about it, husband.” She snapped. “You barely can stand today.”

 Jae-ha frowned at that, he hated being grounded but it was true, some days he couldn’t even get up without help lately as he sat there, holding his two-year-old son Hawke in his lap. “Yeah but Hak shrugged off my warning the other day about Lina’s dragon leg, she’s at the age I was when….” He bit his lip. “… When I gained full access to my leg and could shatter chains with it. Hak doesn’t know what he’s getting into.”

 “Lina won’t hurt him, or at least mean to. Besides if they’re just using swords, she shouldn’t use her leg.” Kija shrugged, working on the tent with Shin-ah and Zeno. “She’s been practicing with controlling her strength lately Jae-ha, after all she got her leg to grow the other day just like my arm, it was amazing.” He said with a look of admiration.

 “Miss Ryokuryuu is so proud of her dragon leg! She won’t hurt the mister or at least mean to.” Zeno added.

 “Father when can I get lessons from Uncle Hak like Lina does?” six-year-old Gigan tugged on Jae-ha’s sleeve.

 “Awww what’s wrong little one? Daddy’s lessons aren’t good enough for you?” Jae-ha laughed, ruffling her raven hair.

 “You only let me try with a bow!” Gigan pouted. “I wanna learn the sword like Lina!”

 “You have to build up your strength first my dear before you can take up that kind of weapon.” Jae-ha chuckled at her enthusiasm. “Also you’re not touching anything sharp until you’re older, but maybe a practice sword when you’re ready, besides your Uncle Hak is too strong for you.” He sighed as he looked over to see Lina got knocked down.

 “Come on Lina, you’re holding back.” Hak scolded her. “You need to focus, also it doesn’t hurt to throw a few kicks in especially with that leg of yours. It could really catch an opponent off guard and turn the tide for you in battle. Come at me again.”

 “But Uncle Hak…” Lina bit her lip, still worried about putting too much strength into her leg.

 “Come on, or else the next fight I’m making sure you stay with your siblings.” Hak baited her, as often when they’d come across bandits Lina always wanted to join the fray, especially since Jae-ha lately was not suited for battle at all.

 “Ok you asked for it!” Lina huffed, kicking off the ground with her leg and hiding in the trees for a moment, dropping back down with her practice sword that Hak effortlessly blocked.

 “Nice try kid, but Droopy Eyes only got me once with that tactic and he’ll never get me again.” Hak chuckled, parring her sword strike as she tried again. Though she struck with such force the wooden sword broke in half. “And now you’re defenseless.” He went in for the final blow, and Lina reacted on instinct.

 She lifted her dragon leg and spun on her heel, much like her father and tried to kick out at Hak, which he tried to block by raising his arm but he was suddenly blown right back into a tree with such force it broke and topped down. “UNCLE HAK!” she cried in shock, worried she really hurt him bad as she rushed to his side. “I’m so sorry!”

 “Owwwww what the hell?” Hak groaned, looking at his wounded arm and his eyes widened at the bruise forming from Lina’s kick. ’What the hell? Has Droopy Eyes been holding back with me all this time? I mean that time he kicked me when I was so ready to kill…’ his thoughts went back to that time in the Water Tribe when he was on a bloodthirsty rage seeing Soo-won, Jae-ha had kicked him several times with his leg but he didn’t faint nor get blown back so hard. ‘…. That or I’m just getting old.’ He shook his head, smiling though at the panicking child. “Please Lina, this is nothing.”

 “Don’t say that I hurt you!” Lina bawled out crying, hugging around his waist. “I’m sorry Uncle Hak! I should have been more careful!”

 “Hey, hey, hey stop crying Lina.” Hak frowned, feeling terrible for getting her so upset because he got cocky. He stroked her pigtails as he tried to calm her. “It’s fine, I’ve gotten a lot worse wounds from this playing around with your Uncle White Snake. Really, I’ll be fine.”

 “True he does get hurt a lot, you’d swear he enjoys it as much as your father.” Valerie was suddenly standing besides them, helping pull Lina up to her feet. “Sweetie it’s fine you just didn’t know your own strength, let me take a look ok?” she kissed the Ryokuryuu’s temple as she bent down by her husband.

 “I’m not a pervert, Val.” Hak huffed, his cheeks flaring up a bit.

 “Oh? I thought you said I’m turning you into one.” Valerie teased, looking over his arm and shaking her head. “It doesn’t seem broken, just sprained maybe. You must not have hit him with your full strength.”

 “… I didn’t want to hurt him…” Lina whimpered, rubbing her eyes that were still full of tears.

 Hak’s jaw nearly dropped. ‘She was STILL holding back? Holy hell just how strong was Droopy Eyes’ control when-‘ he shook his head as he did not want to finish that thought.

 “We need to work a bit more on learning that control of your leg, treasure.” Jae-ha was suddenly behind Lina, hugging the girl from behind as he wobbled a bit, using a cane to steady himself.

 “Daddy!” Lina turned within her father’s arms, hugging him tight. “I’m so sorry I didn’t listen to you and I hurt Uncle Hak!” she sobbed into his robes.

 “It’s alright treasure, your uncle didn’t heed my warning either.” Jae-ha smirked, winking at Hak. “You never could faint for me on request either.” He joked, bringing up the very memory on Hak’s mind since when he warned the Thunder Beast, Hak had shrugged it off talking about that time.

 “At least somebody’s behaving today.” Valerie remarked, noting that her brother was using his cane for once. “Yona chew you out about how you fell the other day?”

 “She profoundly refused to let me come over until I agreed to use it.” Jae-ha snorted a laugh, petting Lina on the head as she still sobbed. “Even had Kija hold me down.”

 “Because you’re reckless!” Kija’s voice came from over by the campfire.

 Valerie laughed as she wrapped up Hak’s arm. “She’s too good for you brother dear, you never would have agreed to anything I told you to do even if I chained you down.” She then pat Hak’s shoulder. “Now you better rest this arm until it’s better or else you’re going to make Lina cry again, got it husband?” she flicked his nose playfully.

 “Yeah yeah…” Hak kissed her cheek as he got up, placing a hand on Lina’s shoulder. “Lina it’s ok. I’ll be fine you heard them. I’m actually really proud of you, you’re getting to be just as cool as your mother.”

 “R-really?” Lina sniffed, lifting her face from hiding against her father’s chest.

 Jae-ha nodded with a warm smile, petting her hair. “That’s right treasure, keep it up and you’ll be as badass as mommy someday. But as graceful as your daddy in the air, because you’re the most beautiful Ryokuryuu there ever has been.”

 “Oh daddy!” Lina blushed, pulling back to hug Hak now. “I’m still sorry I hurt you…” she whimpered.

 “Hey should I tell you about the time mommy broke daddy’s nose during spar?” Jae-ha joked to lighten the mood. “She was pregnant with you at the time when-“

 “HUSBAND DON’T YOU DARE BRING THAT UP!” Yona shouted as she was tending to Gigan and Hawke.

 “Yeah… She doesn’t need to know what a pervert you are, Droopy Eyes.” Hak remarked.

 Lina giggled some more at their exchange. “It’s ok, I know mommy and daddy love each a lot. One day I want what they have together!”

 “Mmmmm I’m sure you will when you marry Ura someday.” Valerie mused.

 “AUNTIE!” Lina’s face turned bright red. “S-stop trying to set me up with my cousin! I-It’s not funny!”

 “Awww come on treasure, you blush so cutely when he calls your dragon leg cool.” Jae-ha further teased her while snickering, placing both hands on his cane to steady himself.

 “Daddy you are not helping!” Lina shouted, her face just as red as the crimson locks in her hair. “I’m going to help Grandma Yoon!” she stomped off towards the rest of the group.

 “She’s so cute, she’ll make Ura a fine wife when she’s older.” Valerie chuckled, turning to Hak. “You going to be ok there? I mean it might be a blow to the pride getting your butt kicked by a twelve-year-old.”

 “Oh please, that leg of hers is a handicap.” Hak chuckled, shaking his head. “Need help there Droopy Eyes?” he noted that Jae-ha didn’t move yet as the former Ryokuryuu was really clutching onto that cane as if he was struggling with standing but was trying to hide it. Which Jae-ha often did as he never wanted to worry the group about his failing health, especially in front of Lina.

 “Awww as much as I’d love it for you to carry me Hak, I’m afraid I must decline with your injury.” Jae-ha teased, turning to try and head back to came but struggled a bit moving until he felt Hak’s uninjured arm around him for support.

 “Shut up and stop holding back you idiot.” Hak grumbled, shaking his head. “Or else I will shove that cane up your ass.”

 “Mmmm that might be kinky.” Jae-ha mused, then snickered at Hak’s face that screamed he was going to punch the pervert if he kept it up. “You’re so strong brother dear.” He purred instead, leaning his head on the Thunder Beast’s shoulder.

 Hak sighed and rolled his eyes. “I’d still ask if it’s too late to get my genes removed, but then again your daughter is too damn cute to have removed from my bloodline. So you get a pass this time.”

 Jae-ha chuckled at that. “Well, she is my precious little treasure after all.”

 Hak couldn’t help but nod, smiling as they approached their family, Lina sitting by Yona and smiling. “…. She’s everyone’s treasure.”

First Night Back in Fuuga Chapter 13: She Can Never Escape Him

Ao3 Link

Continued musings after Chapter 138

Yona goes through a range of emotions at dinner

Yona and Hak hold hands facing one another, staring, drinking the vision in. Yona is in her bright, flower-embroidered kimono she changed into for dinner, Hak has removed a few of the more formal layers from his kimono. They’re in front of the horse they’ll share back to Fuuga proper, where they’ll have to pretend, at least in public, that this magical event didn’t just take place.

“Talk about a power couple,” Yun jokes in awe to Jae-Ha next to him.

“Don't they look great together?” Jae-Ha admires.

“You heard 'em -- the rain is coming. Let's go!” Mundok warns out toward the couple before he rides away himself.

Hak hoists Yona up onto their horse first, then mounts behind her. They ride back a little behind all the others for a final few private moments to revel in their new status.

“Maybe later I can teach you how to ride…”

“Hak!” Yona smacks his arm. Whenever there’s an awkward silence, he still makes his perverted jokes. He may be her husband now, but he’s still the same guy.

“What? I don’t know what you think I meant.”

“You’re not cute at all.”

“You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. Today was a new level, even for you.”

Yona blushes and wraps a hand around his on a rein. She smiles at the contact.

“I cried so much.”

“You cried so much.”

She smacks him again, “I saw you cry, too, Tough Guy.”

“Princess, I love you more than I can handle.”

Touched, smiling, “I’m glad we did this once we knew. Waiting would have been torture.”

“It’s already been torture.”

They can see the lights of the great hall ahead and hear the music.

“There’s a room for us tonight. Simple, but private.”

Yona gives his hand a squeeze.

“I can’t wait.”

The feast is incredible -- meats, vegetables, breads, fine alcohol -- everyone in the Wind Tribe is amazed at the quality of the dinner Mundok is throwing. Yona and Hak stay separated, but are constantly glancing at one another through the crowd. Perhaps holding eyes a second too long, but thinking only about each other. Distracted by the profundity of the afternoon and the promise of the night.

Both men and women comment on how gorgeous the princess looks, almost in disbelief she didn’t just arrive from the palace. Her beauty is only enhanced by her spirit being as lively as it’s ever been -- she’s jubilant this evening.

When Yona is bent over receiving a sweet kiss from little Tae-Yeon, she notices Hak watching her again. Her eyes sparkle when they meet his. How will they ever keep their love a secret? She wonders if it’s all over their faces. Inside, the feeling fills every inch of her. Warm, hopeful.

As many eat dessert, Jae-Ha sits next to Han-Dae.

“So I hear you’re the fastest around. I wonder if we should compete?”

No answer. Jae-Ha looks up and notices Han-Dae’s line of sight -- he’s watching Hak watch Yona.

“You know those two pretty well, right?” Han-Dae asks.

“Sure.”

“Is there more than meets the eye?”

Jae-Ha raises his eyebrows as he considers how to answer this one. Damn it, they are not doing a good job with the secret romance thing so far.

“Whatever would make you ask that? It’s his job to watch her, after all.”

“It was probably nothing, but recently I saw them--”

“She’s my lover.”

Han-Dae turns to Jae-Ha, eyes wide, “WHAT?”

“The princess and I. So I would appreciate it if you wouldn’t spread any rumors about she and anyone -- myself or otherwise.”

Jae-Ha quickly rises, his face red from a lie that may have not been OK to tell, but what was he supposed to say?! He walks to inform Hak when someone grabs his arm.

“We should talk,” Mundok tells, not asks.

Meanwhile, Yona watches Ik-Soo and Yun catching up at the side of the room. Yun is glowing.

“To this most auspicious of days,” Kija lifts a cup to toast Yona. She turns and smiles brightly at his acceptance, clinks, and drinks with him. But as she lowers her cup, she sees a soaked and solemn messenger approaching.

“Princess?”

“...yes. Who are…?”

“A messenger from the palace. I have an urgent letter for you -- sent from the king.”

After handing her the letter, he hurries back on his way. Yona stands in shock, then drops the letter as though it could burn her hands.

“Yona!” Kija grabs it from the floor, “What is this?”

“I have no idea what it could be.”

“Then allow me to open it first.”

Yona nods as Zeno and Shin-Ah gather discreetly to observe what’s going on and to get her out of there quickly if that’s what becomes required.

Once it's opened, Kija is perplexed. What he’s looking at doesn’t seem to have meaning, “It’s… a ribbon and a hairpin.”

Yona’s breathing quickens, just short of hyperventilation. She closes her eyes to prepare herself, then, “Let me see.”

Kija hands her the objects that were enclosed in the blank paper. She recognizes the meaning immediately, “This isn’t from Soo-Won. It’s a warning. From Min-Soo,” the ribbon is the same as the boy always wears, sending it was a method they had agreed upon if a warning would ever be necessary, “Soo-Won found the hairpin I traded to Ogi for help,” the one enclosed isn’t the one Soo-Won surely has, but the meaning it symbolizes is definite to Yona, “Soo-Won would almost certainly recognize the hairpin Ogi had. He gave it to me that day…,” her breathing quickens once more.

“Miss, should we take you out of here?” Zeno offers.

“No, no… not from my own… no, I should, I should tell Hak,” she rises, a little shaky, leaving the letter and objects behind, and heads toward her husband across the room who’s engaged in a heated conversation with Tae-Woo.

Once she’s near, she can hear them. She slips behind a pillar the second she realizes what it’s about--

“It's too ominous -- it feels like a death dinner!”

“That's ridiculous. You’re being superstitious, Idiot.”

“Why would Gramps throw a farewell dinner with the best of everything when he's usually so stingy? There's only one explanation -- he thinks you’re gonna die.”

“I’m not gonna die. The princess needs me.”

“The Wind Tribe needs you. A lot of people can be her bodyguard. But nobody can be what you are to this tribe, Lord Hak.”

“No one else can be her bodyguard.”

“That’s not true -- and you shouldn’t be her bodyguard anymore after refusing Soo-Won’s offer to return to the general post.”

“What?”

“I thought you and Gramps talked about it? Soo-Won offered to set his personal feelings aside after Xing and let you come back. He knows as well as anyone how good you are for Kouka and for the Wind.”

Hak’s expression tightens, “You listen to me, don’t ever trust that guy, you hear?”

“Why not? You say you don’t, but you do.”

Hak is shaking his head in disbelief at Tae-Woo.

“But since you’re sticking with her, even though she's probably not in much danger, it's a promised death for you by the king.”

Too. Much. Yona has to stop this conversation, she’s feeling too many things right now. She slips around the pillar and approaches Hak, who’s still trying to drive home some point to Tae-Woo. So she reaches up to touch Hak’s arm, which shocks him, along with the seriousness of his conversation, so he instinctively bats her hand away.

The memory of the night she reached up to Soo-Won after she confessed her love for him and he batted her hand reaching up toward him away flashes through her mind.

She stands in utter shock staring at nothing, tears in her eyes, then suddenly she’s walking. She walks and walks, out the door and into the rain. She has a hand to her chest as she tries to breathe. She’s desperately trying to catch her breath. The sky is gray, the rain steady. She didn’t even bring a cloak. Her beautiful kimono is getting all wet, ruined. Soo-Won haunting her, even here, even today. She’s hyperventilating.

She needs to calm down.
