Hi~ can I request "she fell first, but he fell harder" with Vin Jin? And please include the confession time too! Thank you in advance 💙

Fuck yeah, Vin Jin hours! Was feeling like I haven't written about this douchebag [affectionately] in a hot second.

Vin Jin x Reader: You're his type

Another Vin Jin confession fic. Feat a lil bit of the Queen, Mary Kim.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Fuck off," Vin mutters, his heart isn't in it as he stares out the window.

Regardless, that earns him a harsh ear pull from Mary for his shitty reply, yanking him out of his daydream and back to reality.

What's wrong with him? Where to start.

.

.

Vin is hot, that is an objective fact. According to him anyway.

Girls and boys alike throwing themselves at his feet is not new, barely warrants batting an eyelid.

You though? One of his inner circle? When you started to blush around him, stammering your words, avoiding eye contact, just generally being awkward as hell; he decided to ignore it. He's seen this a million times before.

Why ruin a good thing, right? Especially if he didnt return your feelings.

But since you started to see Vin in a new light, and who the hell knows why after already knowing him for so many years, well.

His subconscious got curious too.

.

.

Annoying as fuck, bratty. That's how he would describe you.

For some reason, you would always get your way with him, and that used to irritate him no bounds. Your special way of knowing exactly which buttons to push that even Mary is impressed with.

Over the last couple months, this trait has somehow become endearing. That you know him better than he knows himself.

And you're clingy too. Always have been.

Yet your budding crush on Vin has made you pull back. Spending fewer hours together, retracting your casual touches. He never thought he could possibly miss you, but even when you're standing right in front of him, hand just casually hanging there like a normal person, he wants to reach out and grab it.

And if someone asks if you are attractive? Yeah, sure, you're definitely hot.

A man can have eyes, can't he? Even behind his shades, even with three pupils. He can see that and he can see your line of admirers though you've never really been Vin's type.

He can hear Mary's voice if he told her that, her scoffing and asking "what even is your type, you're single as fuck." Vin doesn't know, ok? It's just never been you.

And now all of a sudden, it's you. Completely, one hundred percent, you.

It's you so much that anytime another guy even glances in your direction he needs to hold back from uppercutting them in the jaw.

Maybe most importantly. You're ride-or-die.

If push came to shove, and someone held a knife against his throat, he would admit it.

Him, Mary, and You. The best export from Cheonliang. Friendship built on unrockable foundations. You both worming your way into his stupid, silly heart but in very different ways.

Really, damn you for presenting this dilemma. Why did you have to fall for him because now he has no doubt fallen harder.

Worst of all though? For you, Vin realises he is a romantic, and he is undeniably cringe.

Street cred will be ruined for sure.

.

.

That brings him to the present.

With Vin thoroughly distracted, every waking moment consumed with thoughts of you.

With him catching feelings, mind and heart betraying him alike.

With him having to hold back around you when the confession almost slips out, bolting out the gate until it's almost too late.

Vin is absolutely not a coward. He will tell you, he just needs to pick his moment.

Sitting in the empty classroom, he was busy contemplating the next move until he is rudely interrupted by Mary. Now, he still doesn't have a plan but has gained an aching, throbbing ear for his troubles.

"ACK!"

At his yelp, Mary releases him. Hand on hips, tapping her foot impatiently, she glares down at him as he rubs his ear. "What is wrong with you these days?"

"Nothi-"

"Say nothing and I'll kick your ass."

"I'm fine."

"You've never been fine, asshole."

"..."

Vin resumes staring out the window, hoping if he ignores her long enough she would piss off.

Mary gives a long suffering sigh. It really is long, and really is suffering. After so many years, he still hasn't learnt.

"HUP!" Mary bounces over to him, quick as a whip, and puts him in a headlock.

"WHAT THE FUCK-"

Vin flails around, trying desperately to wiggle himself free but Mary has the upperhand. Using the proximity to her advantage, she leans in close.

Quietly, "Is this about Y/N?"

With his restricted movements, VIn still full body recoils as if he's been hit.

"NO!" And he can hear himself. Too defensive, unbelievable to even his own ears.

Mary looks at him with eyes full of pity. What a stupid bastard.

"You need to tell her."

"W-what? I have nothing to say!" Again. Completely unbelievable.

With another sigh, Mary releases him - moving just out of reach to avoid his retaliating strike.

"Why are you both like this."

"Like what?"

"Listen." She slams both hands down on his desk and Vin jumps, "If you keep making googly eyes and pining for each other in front of me, I will skin you both alive."

"..."

"Sort. This. Out." Mary flicks him aggressively on the forehead, smirking when she realises it will leave a mark. "Got it?"

"Got it, got it..." Vin mutters, refusing eye contact and fiddling with his sunglasses as Mary leaves in a whirlwind of blonde hair and chaos.

Honestly. Vin trying to pull wool over Mary's eyes over his crush is like you trying to pull wool over Vin's. Unconvincing at best, completely laughable at worst. You all know each other too well to get away with this sort of shit.

Ok. Fine, fine. Today is as good as any other day.

Vin makes up his mind and seeks you out.

...Today is not as good as any other day.

Blood rushing to his cheeks when he sees you, Vin chickens out.

.

.

His thumb hovers over the text. Just something simple and straight to the point asking you on a date.

He hesitates.

He tries again a few days later, sitting in the school canteen together when a rowdy first year bumps into you, causing you to spill your drink all over yourself. When your fist meets his nose, Vin watches on in awe, realising he's in love with you.

Still, the moment didn't feel right.

He prepares some lyrics, working on them through the night. Until the next day, sleep-deprived and bags under his eyes, Mary takes one look at them and smacks him over the head.

"No! You cannot start this rapping about Y/N's tits!"

.

.

The confession spills out in a quiet moment together. Catching him as offguard as his feelings did.

You sit next to him, bodies pressed close together, eyes watching the action unfold on the laptop screen.

Another movie night, usually accompanied with Mary. This time, when you invited her over in the group chat, Mary declined and in a separate message, threatened Vin with death if he didn't make 'you and him happen'.

He supposes that that's fair.

As he sits and watches you rather than the film, his face naked and bare, he wonders what more is there than this quiet bliss.

The peace of two people completely comfortable with each other, of two well matched souls; you having seen him countless times at his worst and him with you.

That you know all his secrets and his past and yet you're still here. Next to him.

"Are you even watching this?" You ask, turning towards him. Guess he was too obvious with his staring.

Vin's usual bluster and cocky retort is nowhere to be found.

He opens his mouth, words so close to spilling, tongue nervously darting out across his lower lip-

And he notices your eyes drop to follow it, hears your breath hitching.

The words don't come.

Instead, he leans in close. Moving slowly and carefully to give you an easy out, to give himself an easy out to ease the sting of rejection.

To play it off as a joke, though he doubts if he or his ego would ever recover from this.

When you don't move, eyes searching his, looking him fully in the eyes and not flinching, never flinching, he brings his hand up to gently cup your face.

A move that he has cringed at countless times with romance scenes, but now he gets how right it is in the moment.

Vin feels your soft smile against his palm, you leaning hesitantly into it, and it gives him the final push he needs-

You beat him to the punch.

"I... really like you," you say, lips almost touching his, the heat of your breath leaving his skin tingling.

A smirk that is so him settles on his face. In hindsight, why was he ever nervous. Why did he ever think you weren't his type.

"I know."

Vin presses his lips to yours and finally calls you his.

[nepentheseeker]

Why does Vin look like a nerd here who is a math genius and just got challenged by another smart kid and now they're gonna have intense maths fight?

Ik the context was totally different and serious but if you just focus on Vin here ... ESPECIALLY THOSE GLOWING GLASSES . Idk I think a little too much .

If it helps, think him saying: "It's time to show them who the real maths genius of J High is"

Cheonliang Fam – Empress of 2 Seconds

I’m funny.

Highlights of Eps 500-501

Goo was rummaging through Taejin's belongings, to the boy's annoyance. The Red Paper was nowhere to be found, however, and Goo quickly concluded from Taejin's words that the boy knew nothing of it.

Taejin was enraged, but he could barely put up a fight against Goo. After beating Taejin unconscious, Goo took the fake shaman boy out of Cheonliang.

Taejin woke up groggily much later on, and found himself stripped naked, at a red-painted space (this is the precursor of The First Affiliate, in case anyone had forgotten about it), where so many people were made to fight to the death, all stripped naked just like himself.

Eugene told him that they were the worst criminals in the country. And unless Taejin gave up the entirety of his Cheonliang inheritance, said Eugene, he would never leave that place.

Back in Cheonliang, a year later, Mary had lost so much weight that she turned into the girl whom we knew at the start of Lookism. The Cheonliang Fam kids had each turned into ordinary students.

Vin, unfortunately, had regressed into a bully. One of the kids whom Vin bullied was a boy whose love confession Mary rejected because he used to ignore her before she lost weight.

Despite his outwardly tough act, Vin quickly found that people's glances terrified him, especially their implied insult at his "otherness", and their open accusations of the murders he supposedly had committed and gotten away with. In the same way that Seongji was scared of people's glances at his perceived monstrosity.

The pressure of societal judgement was proven too much for Vin, that he started hurting others including in judo classes.

Mary was reluctant to put a stop to his act because she saw that Vin had no other outlets for the immense pain that he was still caught in.

Elsewhere, a crew planned to take over Cheonliang in order to pay for protection money after two "monsters" (Goo and Gun) came and destroyed their premises. After the Cheonliang Fam kids fought that crew, other crews kept coming, eyeing the area as a potential source of money and assets.

When one of those crew members called Vin a monster after seeing the boy's left eye, Vin was so triggered that he almost dropped a motorbike on the man. On the inside, he was thinking that he wanted to follow Seongji (in death).

In an act of solidarity, Jewoo, Taebong and Hyungjae calmed Vin down, saying that he wasn't a monster, that they were there for him in Seongji's place.

Some time afterwards, the Cheonliang boys were deciding on the future leader of Cheonliang through extreme ssireum, and they were interrupted by Taejin.

Apparently, Taejin had also boasted the name of Cheonliang while surviving Eugene's Inferno. And now he had returned to challenge the other boys for his claim on Cheonliang. Jewoo answered the challenge first, yet was quickly slammed to the ground, then it was Vin's turn.

But Vin was still stronger than Taejin, and this was something Taejin bitterly admitted as Vin repeatedly threw him down that he lost consciousness. In cold fury, before Taebong could stop him, Vin lifted and threw Taejin into the sea.

But before he could relish on the harsh victory, Vin was quickly knocked out, and the other three boys were too. Goo had come to save Taejin, after all, since the former young shaman had become one of the Kumdo heir's "secret friends".

Another time skip. Out of nowhere, Vin told Mary that he wanted to go to Seoul and became a rapper. She wondered why, and initially Vin told her that since no crew was targeting Cheonliang anymore and people still wanted to find Shinmyeong, his presence there was futile. But eventually he broke down and admitted that he wanted to run away.

Mary immediately agreed to go with him, and when Vin in exchange asked her why, she just told him that she did it as his friend.

Then in Seoul, Vin gradually became the Vin we saw all those years ago, the one who listened to Duke Pyeon's music but bullied him. And now we know: he envied Duke's inner strength, since he himself was still entangled with his fears, guilt, and shame.

In the present timeline, Vin paid his tribute to Seongji at the now abandoned hut, and managed to avoid the other Cheonliang boys. Yet he found Daniel there, to his annoyance and amazement, and Daniel completely ignored him while talking to Eugene on the phone.

It turns out that Daniel too, was there for the infamous Red Paper, like so many before him. The Paper that was allegedly crucial in bringing down Charles and sparking the hunt for Gun.

Far away in a junkyard at dusk, a pensive Gun was resting alone among his ittobori carvings.
