hi everyone, this is the wips i'm currently working on. pretty much explaining why i'm not going to be online a lot of the time in the future - however there might be some drabble or one-shot if i can think of it
wips (majority of these works are going to be +18):
❊ little flower chapter 5
❊ bully me chapter 4
❊ the dragon prince and the wolf maid chapter 1 ↳ this is a namjoon x female reader asoiaf/got au - pretty much my own version of the rhaegar/lyanna story
❊ u r my special chapter 1 ↳ it's either going to be a yoongi or jungkook x female reader and it's going to be dark - like really dark. best way i can put it is: it's not a "i can fix him" fic, it's a "i'm slowing turning into him" fic who do you think it would fit better?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
❊ lovelovelove chapter 1 ↳ the selection au - still need to plan some stuff about this but it's going to involve bts/got7/monsta x members + some ocs. i would also like to involve whoever reads this in making choices - like the types of dates, who gets the date, who gets kicked out of the competition, etc
❊ colours of you prologue ↳ still being planned but it's not a bts fanfic
❊ the little mermaid ↳ title is pretty explanatory. it's a yoonji x female reader story. still debating if it's going to be a long one-shot or a chaptered story

Chapter 15
Hey, Jules, how you’ve been? I just wanted to...
*delete, delete, delete*
Hi, Jules. Wonho-hyung told me you’re in Taiwan for...
*delete, delete, delete*
I guess now it’s my turn to show you what I’ve been doing for the last seven years. You’ll see...
*delete, delete, delete*
Jules, I wanted to apologize for what I said the other day and...
*delete, delete, delete*
"Why the fuck is so hard to write a fucking message?!" Jooheon shouted in his apartment room. After the meeting with Wonho and the others, Monsta X members invited him to have dinner to celebrate his return. Jooheon accepted but was not in the mood to spend the night with his friends, so he went to the apartment that he rented just for himself to rest... and think of a plan.
Jooheon had been trying to start a conversation with Julie for about two hours. He didn’t know how to send the first message or what to say in it. Should he start by apologizing for crossing the line? Or should he say hello as if nothing had happened and then bring it up? Or should he act as if nothing had happened? After all, was it really that bad? No, right?
Jooheon didn’t know anything anymore. A part of him told him that the fight he had had with Julianne was not a big deal, that at school they had also fought and soon spoke again. But another part of him was not so convinced, as the truth was that he still felt like he was walking on eggshells with Julie. Although in the last few weeks they had spoken as if the years had not passed between them, Jooheon still felt a distance and some discomfort from Jules. He did not want his comments to spoil the progress he had made.
Anyway, he thought, I didn’t tell her any lies. That guy’s an idiot and I just told her to open her eyes.
However, Jooheon continued in his head, it is true that it was not my place, and I could have told her things differently...
"FUCK," Jooheon said, this time out loud. "Jules can be dramatic, but she’d be exaggerating if.... ARGHHHH"
At that moment, Jooheon’s cell phone started ringing. When the rapper saw who was calling him, he thought he was asleep...
"Hello?" he replied.
"Jooheon-ssi? I hope I didn’t wake you up," Julianne answered on the other side of the line.
"Ah? N-no, not at all Jules" he said. "I’m just surprised about your call".
"Ah, yes, well, I don’t know if Wonho-ssi told you, but I’ll be working as creative director for his next comeback".
"Y-yes, I knew that," Jooheon continued. "But he also told me that you were flying to Taiwan today, so I wasn’t expecting a call from you. Aren’t you tired of the flight?"
"I need to organize a lot of things while I’m here and I don’t really have much time now, so it will be a short call," said Julianne ignoring Jooheon’s question. "Wonho-ssi told me that the two of you will produce the title track together and that it will be based on a piece you had previously worked on. Areum-ah and I will work on the concept and design of the entire comeback and advertising strategy around that song. All I need is for you to keep us up to date on whatever progress you have. We won’t be able to wait until the song is ready to start developing the rest of the project, so we’re going to have to work in parallel. Are you okay with that?"
"Ehhhh, of course, although I don’t know how..."
"Areum-ah will have regular meetings with you and Wonho-ssi and she will guide you in whatever we need," Julianne cut him. "My call was just to inform you about the approach we will be having for now. Everything else will be explained to you by Areum-ah at the time. Do you have questions for now?"
"Jules, are we all right?" Jooheon asked abruptly.
Julianne was silent for a few seconds. She wasn’t really surprised, as Jooheon had a tendency to talk everything straight out and without... filters. However, she didn’t know if she wanted to bring it up.
Anyway, she had no choice.
"Hello? Jules?"
"I’m still here," she replied. "We’ll work together again, Jooheon-ssi. So yes, we’re fine. However, my personal life is mine and I hope that is clear".
"That’s clear, Jules. I wanted to talk to you earlier, but I didn’t want you to avoid me like a couple of months ago," Jooheon said. "I don’t know how to read your mind like I used to, but I don’t want to screw up and stop talking to you".
Julie was silent again. Part of her felt bad about how she treated him, but it wasn’t time to think about it. All that is behind them: school, university, Jooheon, Kang-Dae...
"If that’s your way of apologizing, apology accepted, Jooheon-ssi," Julie said. "Well, if you don’t have any more questions about what I just told you, I have to go".
"Okay, Jules, rest and we’ll talk later," Jooheon said.
"Good night".
The call ended and Jooheon lay on his bed. He had a bittersweet taste in his mouth. He was happy because Jules didn’t seem to care much about what he had said, or at least he hadn’t been too angry. But that wasn’t Jules, not completely.
Jooheon remembered what Wonho had told him about Jules' resignation from her gallery work and that plus her sudden departure to Taiwan and this strange call in the middle of the night after a flight... Jules only did that when something big happened.
Like when she decided to quit kickboxing and her dream of being a conceptual artist. Jules had no idea, but Jooheon knew that Jules put all that aside after her father’s death. The rapper learned of the news of his passing and wanted to attend the funeral; however, he could not go to present his condolences publicly because the agenda of Monsta X prevented him. When Mr. Seo died, they were still a rookie group and could not risk a scandal... But Jooheon asked his manager to do a little research and found out that Jules had stopped going to the gym where she was training and had switched specialties in college.
He knew it, but he had really forgotten it until then. Jooheon remembered conversations with Jules in which she told him that her dream was to have his works exposed to the public, but he also remembered her father’s insistence on finding a less risky dream. Mr. Seo had opposed his daughter’s hobbies, both kickboxing and art, and that spawned many fights between the two until he simply gave up. The rapper supposed that when he died, Jules decided to change direction to make him happy...
Now she was changing direction in a hurry again, and Jooheon just wanted to know why and if Jules was okay.
____________________________
Weeks later...
The alarm started ringing and Julie turned it off. Waking up with a headache and swollen eyes had become a habit. The night before she decided she wasn’t going to cry... but she failed. She knew the breakup with Kang-Dae was the best thing for both of them, at least for now, but that didn’t make it any less painful.
Everything around her reminded her of him because, after so many years together, Julie realized that she had adopted habits and routines around Kang-Dae. She would get up at the same time as him and send him a good morning message, then she would choose her outfit making sure she always had something on that he would have given her: a scarf, a handkerchief, some earrings, a bracelet, a headband, some shoes... whatever.
While things had changed a lot in the last year, Kang-Dae was a good boyfriend for a long time and Julie realized that a third of the things she had packed without much thought had been given to her by him.
Areum was also used to the routine and was willing to support her friend in whatever she needed to overcome this breakup. They had been in Taiwan for six weeks and the work kept them busy during the day, plus Julie’s work ethic made it difficult for her to have a mid-meeting crisis.
The problem was when they arrived at the apartment they had rented for their stay. As they walked through the door, Julie collapsed. She did not burst into tears immediately, but Areum noticed how her mood changed and she became meditative.
She tried to deal with the situation the best she could: ice cream, movies, manicure sessions, alcohol... or just listening. It was tiring for both of them, but Areum was ready to support her friend.
"Knock, knock," Areum said as she opened the door to Julianne’s room. "I have meetings early today, so you’ll have to make do without me. Breakfast is on the table along with aspirins and a cold compress for the eyes. Yesterday I got a new concealer for you to try and.... Ah! There is a new tea that helps to relax, we can try it later".
"Mpppf" said Julie against the pillow.
"Yeah, I know, you couldn’t live without me, but I have to run, see you later".
Julie didn’t want to get out of bed. It was Saturday, but both friends still had to work to get everything ready before returning to Korea.
The concept of the comeback was not yet decided, but they already had about three ideas with which they could work. Although the ones who really had to decide were Wonho and Jooheon, in the last 3 weeks they had changed the base melody 4 times and that made Areum and Julie analyze the entire creative and marketing strategy to see if everything followed the same line.
Of course, they did all that work so that in the end the two producers decided to return to the first option...
Anyway, because of that Areum oversaw those meetings and other logistical aspects while Julie focused on the design and creative aspects of the project. Areum took on the most administrative tasks, so it was up to her to be the mid-point between the different participants, as well as to guide the decision-making based on expectations and the sales plan. On the other hand, Julie worked with the producers, directors, designers, etc. to explain the conceptual ideas and try to reach an agreement on what was possible and what was not. They were the two sides of the same coin and so far they were going well... as long as they didn’t change the song overnight.
That day, Julie had to put together business presentations. What she wanted was to visualize the three ideas they had to make the information easier to digest and understand. In three days, they had a meeting with the directors of the three companies: Highlight Entertainment, Starship Entertainment, and Areum’s company to evaluate the process. If their ideas were accepted, they could keep going with the planning.
Besides that, Julie had nothing to do in the day, so she got up, showered, had breakfast and started working to get out of her pending tasks as soon as possible. She opened her personal computer and almost started crying again.
I guess I should change the wallpaper, thought Julie closing the laptop and taking a breath.
There had been several times when she had thought about whether dhr had made the right decision. There were nights she cried because she thought she should have been a little more patient, that Kang-Dae had been patient with her when she needed it most, and...
"I need fresh air," Julie said and went to put her shoes on to go out.
Near the building where they rented the apartment, there was a park that was always full of people: families, groups of friends, couples, single people... Julie liked to watch people go by without thinking about anything else and that helped her clear up.
In the park, there were also tables and benches to sit on, and Julie saw that her favorite place was unoccupied, so she went there. It was a stone table with stone benches around it, but it was right at a place where Julie could see the whole park and part of the street in front of her.
She sat quietly for a few minutes until a sound of laughter caught her attention. He saw two girls and a boy laughing as they ran after each other throwing water. After a while, one of the girls asked for a break and the other two approached her only to throw what was left of the water on her. The three laughed and ended up throwing themselves into the grass to watch the clouds pass.
Immediately, Julie thought of her, Areum, and Jooheon when they were in school. The three spent most evenings together studying or listening to Jooheon’s improvised raps. Now that she thought about it, if Jooheon was such a good producer, it was partly due to the two of them, because the number of times they had to listen to the rapper’s bad compositions are enough to take them both to heaven.
Thinking about those days, Julie smiled, but at the same time felt sad. She and Areum had remained friends all those years, but Jooheon simply disappeared from the face of the earth. It is true that Julie didn’t want to see him after their last night together, but now she realized that all her resentment was due to teenage feelings that, although not less valid, over the years lose importance. If Jooheon had shown up earlier, even by chance, maybe Julie wouldn’t have had so much trouble accepting him back into her life again.
Although of course, she thought, just when everything is going well again, there he goes and opens his mouth to say things about which he does not know, and to make everything worse, still does not know how to apologize. Was it so hard to write a message? Or to call? Oh, but nooooooo, I have to be the one to call him first and...
"Argh," Julie said aloud thinking she was alone.
"You’re too young and too pretty to be thinking so much," said one lady who had seen Julie’s expression change from a nostalgic smile to a frown of frustration.
"Ah? Ah, hello, how are you?" Julie said. It was not the first time both had seen each other, as the two women used to go to that park. "I didn’t see you coming".
"Of course not, your mind was elsewhere... a very frustrating place, it seems," the lady replied sitting. "I’m all ears in case you want to talk. Besides, at this age I forget everything, I won’t go around telling your secrets, but I could tell you some of mine. This grandmother has lived long enough to have an ace up her sleeve in almost every situation".
"Hahahaha, I don’t doubt it,” said Julie. "It’s really nothing important, it’s just the memory of a friend".
"Ahhh, a friend. Close, I assume?"
"Yes... something like that. At least it was".
"In the past tense?"
"We didn’t see each other for a long time" said Julie. "He disappeared for work reasons and until recently we met again".
"I see... and what did he do to make you growl in a park on a Saturday afternoon?"
"Mmmmm... be an idiot?"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, kid, what man is not an idiot?" replied Grandma. "They all are, but the right one can make your days more enjoyable... even while being an idiot. What matters in men is their gentleness and empathy. That’s a rarity! Stupid men are everywhere, especially when they like a girl".
"Yeah, I guess," Julie said.
"Well, us women can also be idiots sometimes... we’re smarter than men most of the time, but when we like someone who’s an idiot... we end up growling in a park..."
"Hahaha, we’re just friends".
"Of course," the lady said with a smile. She immediately turned her head back and greeted some people who seemed to be waiting for her on the sidewalk. "Those are my daughter and my grandchildren, I guess I should go, but kid, one more thing: remember that time goes faster than it seems and, at my age, regrets come from the lies we tell ourselves out of fear of being vulnerable. Young people today want to be strong, but they forget that the strongest is the one who is willing to be vulnerable".
Julie just smiled and the lady began to walk away to go with her family.
The grandma’s words echoed in Julianne’s head for a few minutes. It was a deep message, but considering she misunderstood the situation, it didn’t apply to her... totally not.
Julie was about to go into a swirl of thoughts when her phone rang. It was Areum, she was back in the apartment and wanted to go to lunch.
Saved by the bell, Julie thought, for if she was aware of anything, it was that Areum called her just in time, before her mind thought of situations she did not want, nor could, deal with at the time.
________________________________
About a month later...
Areum and Julie had arrived two days earlier in Seoul to finish the final meeting and expose the entire conceptual and advertising line of Wonho’s comeback.
At first, Ivy had told them they had about ten weeks to prepare everything and start production, and all three worked to meet the proposed timeline, Ivy from Seoul and Areum and Julie from Taiwan. Both friends had stayed longer than expected, but everything was going great, so neither side had any complaints. In addition, Julie had been able to train Rei from a distance so that she could take up her position in the gallery. Rei still had to organize an exhibition by herself to end her training, but Julianne and Director Kim agreed that it could be done once Julianne was back in Korea to oversee Rei’s work and make the transition as easy as possible.
It was Wednesday morning. Jules arrived early at the main building of Highlight Entertaiment. The day before she had met the team that was going to work in the production of the comeback and those people that she would have in charge. They all had the information of the creative line they were going to follow, so they were waiting for the approval of the companies to start with their tasks.
"Julie-ssi, good morning" she was greeted by Ivy who arrived at the same time as her at the main entrance.
"Hello, Ivy-ssi, how are you?" Julie greeted back.
"All good, you?" she replied.
"I’m well, thank you".
"Ah, before I forget... you left this yesterday in the meeting room," Ivy said, pulling a small yellow bag from her purse. "I hope you don’t mind, but I had to see what was inside to know who it was from".
"Oh, no problem. Thanks for picking it up," Julie said.
"And in case you need it, I saw that you have some anxiety pills and some to help you sleep," Ivy said. "We don’t know each other well enough, and I know I shouldn’t get involved, but if you want to try something different or if the pills stop working, I know some natural remedies that work wonders".
"Ah... sure... thank you," said Julie a little surprised. She’d forgotten she had those pills stashed there, and hadn’t needed them for weeks. "See you later".
Despite how normal it was to have some pills to help her sleep, Julie felt a little embarrassed to remember why she had initially bought them: she needed them to sleep after her breakup. She hadn’t cried before sleep for weeks and there were days she didn’t even think about Kang-Dae at all.
The truth was that Julie was starting to feel freer, more like herself. Some nights in Taiwan she and Areum went out dancing and Julie remembered how much fun they could have together. One week they even met Liv, who was visiting the country due to a recording of the MV of the group she was working with.
Julie had also started training again. While she could not go to the box, she could start with basic fitness routines so that her mind would remember what apparently her body still did not forget. All that made her feel like she could breathe again... and she wanted more.
But that day she was Seo Julianne, creative director for Highlight Ent.
"Good morning" greeted Wonho as he entered the office where Julie was. "Julie-ssi, how are you doing with the presentation? Do you have an update for me?"
"We advanced quite a lot yesterday, and I think everything will be ready today in the afternoon... although perhaps it is best to make the formal presentation first thing tomorrow so that all department heads can be in the meeting".
"Great!" said Wonho. "Tomorrow is perfect, so Jooheon-ah can be present, and we can both explain the title track idea".
Julie froze for a moment when she heard Jooheon’s name. Blank mind, Julie, it’s just Jooheon, there’s no reason to...
"Great, then I’ll tell Areum to finish with some unfinished business and in the evening we can finish putting together the presentation for tomorrow," Julie said.
"Okay, great," Wonho said as he stood up to leave. "If you need anything, you can tell Ivy. Today my schedule is full, so I don’t think we can see each other until tomorrow, but she keeps me in the loop... I think I’ll have to take her out to lunch after this to thank her for the work she’s doing".
"That makes two of us," Julie said with a smile. "Don’t worry, everything is under control".
*******
"You told me I could write anything... that it didn’t necessarily have to make sense as long as I wrote a whole sheet on both sides," Jooheon said as an explanation before giving Doctor Choi what he had written.
"That’s right," she replied. "It can be anything, Jooheon-ssi, as long as you take the time to write it".
The problem with that is that Jooheon had been writing the paper in his car 20 minutes before the session. He tried to make time for it, but he always forgot because he was thinking about other things.
"You know," the psychologist said as she kept Jooheon’s essay on her desk, "I’m impressed with how quickly things happen in your industry. In a matter of months, you have everything ready for a new release... it seems very little time to move so many pieces".
"Ah, yes, that’s the way things are many times," Jooheon said. "In the early years we didn’t know much and suddenly we had a month to prepare for an album and all the promotions. But you get used to it quickly".
"Really?" the slightly incredulous doctor asked. "How quickly did you get used to it? I’m not going to lie to you, I’m feeling a little overwhelmed by how quickly everything was planned, and I only know what you tell me".
"Well... I don’t know. I just know that at one point everything seemed very normal".
"I see... Well, tell me, how do you produce an album?"
Jooheon was a little amused by Dr. Choi’s curiosity. It was normal for people outside the industry to be interested in how an album is made. For the rapper, it was an everyday thing, but many did not imagine how a melody becomes a music video or how the songs or the concept are chosen, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
It really was like any other job but had secrecy around it that made his work a little more interesting than others. Not counting the lights, the makeup, the outfits, and everything that happened behind the scenes before a presentation.
"Ah, so Wonho-ssi is not the only friend you’re going to work with?" Dr. Choi asked. She had asked Jooheon if he knew anyone from the production team and Jooheon, without thinking about it, said Areum’s name... and Julie’s.
"Ah... no, he’s not the only one" replied the rapper. "Jules, Areum, and I go way back, we went to school together".
"Ahhh, I see. And how do you feel about meeting them again after so many years?" she asked. "I imagine it must be interesting for them to see you now after becoming an idol and all that implies".
"It’s... well... it’s what it is, isn’t it?" Jooheon said. "It really... was a surprise".
"Of course, I can imagine..." Dr. Choi said without further pressure. She knew there was something else there, but if Jooheon didn’t want to tell her, she wouldn’t force him. "Well, Jooheon-ssi, we ran out of time this week. I’ll let you go for today and see you next week at the same time".
"Sure, doc, sure".
___________________________________
The next day...
Jooheon is uncomfortable and nervous.
It was 9:00 a.m. He just arrived with Wonho at the company for a staff meeting with Julie that started in fifteen minutes and Jooheon did not seem to be able to stand still. Wonho had noticed; both met in the recording studio at 7 in the morning to review what they had done before and put together a couple of ideas before the meeting, but the rapper seemed unable to focus. Wonho didn’t tell him anything because he assumed he was excited and somewhat nervous about producing again after months of hiatus... but the singer was losing patience. He needed Jooheon completely focused and he was probably going to have to talk to him to see if everything was okay, but that would be after the meeting.
Both were waiting for the elevator to go to the floor where the meeting rooms were when a voice behind them greeted them:
"Wonho-ssi" said Julie.
"Oh, Julie-ssi, good morning," Wonho replied.
Jooheon froze. He didn’t know whether to greet her again or wait for her to greet him... God, you’re not 12, Jooheon-ah, what’s wrong with you?
"Good morning to both of you. I hope you had a good rest because Areum and I need you to focus on today’s meeting".
"Everything will be fine, I know," Wonho said.
Jooheon still didn’t talk.
The elevator doors opened and all three entered.
"Oh, by the way, Jooheon-ssi," Julie suddenly said, "Remember the list of printers you made for the exhibit months ago? I need you to pass it to me, I can’t find the copy you gave me".
"Ah?... Ah... y-yes, sure. When will you...?"
"ASAP" cut it off Julie. "Before 2 pm today would be great".
"Julie-ssi" Wonho said, "Do you think Jooheon can help you with the details you asked for? My schedule changed and I don’t know if I’ll have time to meet with you and Areum in the coming weeks."
"Sure, Wonho-ssi, extra hands are always welcome".
Subtle, hyung, Jooheon thought. He knew his schedule was a lie, but it was his way of including Jooheon in other aspects of production without revealing the reasons.
Finally, they arrived at the floor where the meeting was going to take place and the three left the elevator. Areum was waiting for them in the meeting room. The guests had not yet arrived, so Julie, Areum, and Ivy were able to finish preparing the material with peace of mind.
"Ready?" Ivy asked as the room began to fill.
"Yes," the two friends replied.
__________________________________
A week later...
The production of the album was going smoothly. After everyone accepted Areum and Julie’s proposal, the different teams began to work on their tasks. Everything was in order and all the departments had managed to follow the agenda proposed by Julie: the stylists had managed to get many pieces for the outfits and what was missing of the MV outfits and stages outfits was already being designed; the photo shoot of the album jacket was scheduled for within three weeks and the staff was working on the set design for the studio; the music video would be recorded in two weeks and the locations were secured; the sales, editing and social media team were creating content... Anyway, there had been no missteps, which meant Julie should be on the lookout. When everything goes well, something always happens that can ruin projects. She knew well.
And Jooheon knew how Julie thought, so he tried to keep an eye on his chores, too.
In the last few days, he had seen her almost every day: in the recording studio, in the cafeteria, working late... They both talked normally, so Jooheon’s anxiety went down every day. But there was something that didn’t quite fit the rapper. He didn’t know what it was, but he could see it in Julianne’s face. Although he had to admit that the girl had become better at hiding her emotions, at school she was like an open book.
Or maybe I don’t know her as well as I think, Jooheon thought as he took a sip of coffee and finished listening to a sample they wanted to use on another song on the album. In the end, Jooheon was going to participate in the production of all 7 songs on the EP, not just the title track, so he still had work to do.
"Yah, Jooheon-ah, are you asleep?" Areum shouted in his ear. The girl had been trying to get the rapper’s attention for about 10 minutes, but he was gone in his thoughts and didn’t even hear her say hello.
"Ah?!" he shouted. "Jeez, Areum-ah, you scared me"
"Well, Sleeping Beauty, I’m sorry to say it’s daytime and you have to work. You’re free this afternoon, aren’t you?"
"Tell me what you need".
"I need you to go pick up some paper and print samples with some design options. Julie was going to go, but something came up and she’s not gonna be able to, Ivy and I are maxed out and Wonho-ssi is recording content for his YouTube channel, so... We only have you".
"Is Jules all right?" Jooheon asked.
"Emmm, did you catch anything else I said besides that?" Areum asked.
"Sorry, it’s just that..."
"She’s fine, Jooheon-ah" Areum replied. "She only has a thousand meetings with the other teams, and none want to give her a break".
"Oh, well, sure, I understand..." Jooheon continued. "Well, just give me the address".
Areum passed him the data and said goodbye to continue with her tasks, but before that decided to have some sympathy with the rapper.
"Jooheon-ah" called him from afar and he looked up. "Julie... she’s fine overall. It’s not her best time, but you know how it is, she doesn’t break easily".
"Did something happen?" Jooheon asked.
"Promise me something, will you?" Areum said, ignoring Jooheon’s question. "Don’t take this the wrong way, but you’re an idiot, just like in school. And you did stupid things that you’re not even aware of, yet you’re a good person and I know you love Julie very much. Don’t ask questions and don’t worry too much, just... be the friend you were years ago, will you?"
"Areum-ah..."
"Seriously, Jooheon-ah, no questions" she cut it. "I promise you there is nothing to worry about, but Julie could use a friend".
Jooheon nodded silently and Areum ended the conversation, so he turned around and began to leave. Just then, the rapper shouted:
"I love you too, Areum-ah. My childhood would not have been the same without your spiritual guidance".
"Well, someone had to get your head out of your ass," Areum yelled back. "Now get lost, it’s far and you have to get there before they close".
Both friends said goodbye with a smile and left each on their own.
She was reassured that Julie would have someone else to lean on.
He was full of questions, for he knew there was something they were not telling him.
Okay, now how do I get you to tell me what’s wrong with you, Jules?

Script reading
Genre: fluff
Words:
Summary: Miyeon goes to the script reading of her first ever drama and one of the other actors keeps staring at her.
Tumblr media
Miyeon’s heart pounded in her chest as she came face to face with her cast members. So many great actors in the same room as her, it seemed so surreal. As if she could wake up from this amazing dream anytime.
To say she was nervous was an understatement. Having such talented, and not to mention handsome, people working with her only made her more determined to do a great job.
“Welcome, all of you. Today is the first script reading of Scarlet Heart Ryo. Let’s get started, shall we?” the director spoke up.
Miyeon was seated in between Kang Hana, who played the princess, and Ji Hyeran, who played the military’s officer’s daughter. On the other side of the u-shape of tables sat all the main actors. Though trying her best, she kept glancing at the handsome actors.
As they started the first scene, Miyeon took a few shaky breaths to calm herself down. It didn’t take long for her to get into the scene as she listened to it coming to life. She bit her lip in concentration as she read along, waiting for her turn to speak.
“Brothers! Brothers! Brothers!” Baekhyun yelled, trying to hide his laughter. Miyeon could tell he hadn’t acted a whole lot before and she hoped she wouldn’t laugh in between her lines.
It was her time to speak. She felt eyes on her, burning into her head like lasers. “Lady, lady!” Miyeon yelled in a hushed tone, trying to sound frantic.
“Brothers!” Jisoo raised his voice.
“It’s a girl! A girl!” Jonghyun continued.
Miyeon glanced at them in admiration before turning her eyes back at the script. She whispered again, using hand movement this time, “Lady!”
“Yah! Stop right there!” Baekhyun yelled, his voice breaking in the middle, making the whole room, including himself, burst into laughter. Miyeon kept the smile on her face, glad they could have fun with this, it not being purely business.
Baekhyun continued when the laughing died down. “You dare to spy on the princes?!”
Haneul was next. “Haesoo?” he whispered.
Miyeon furrowed her eyebrows, immersing herself in the moment. “What do we do now? You’re in trouble. Hurry lady, we need to go!”
Jieun breathed heavily during Miyeon’s part and interrupted her with a whisper. “Wait.”
“Hurry! What are we going to do?” Miyeon’s voice full of panic. “You didn’t come outside for so long. I knew something was wrong.”
She sighed in exhaustion before continuing. “The princes had started bathing and I couldn’t even go looking for you. This is just insane. Hurry up. Let’s go.”
-
Everyone clapped and cheered as the first script reading came to an end. Miyeon felt a hand on her right shoulder. Hyeran looked at her with a proud smile.
“You did great! I didn’t expect you to immerse yourself so well,” she smiled.
Miyeon felt relieved. “Thank you, I was afraid I wouldn’t be that good.”
“Nonsense,” she stood up from her chair. “You got the part for a reason.”
Miyeon pushed her chair back, gathering her script and water bottle. “That means a lot, thanks.”
“Also,” Hyeran nudged her with her elbow. “Someone across the table couldn’t stop staring at you.”
Miyeon’s eyebrows furrowed. “Staring at me? Me? Are you sure?”
Hyeran nodded. “It was painfully obvious. Can’t believe you missed it.”
Miyeon didn’t believe a word Hyeran was saying. She couldn’t. There was no way any of the main actors, those amazingly talented people, would stare at her. In embarrassment, maybe.
“Here he comes now,” Hyeran said before turning away and walking towards the exit.
Miyeon was scared to turn around, frozen in her place. Which one of the actors would it be? Maybe she was just playing tricks on her. Yeah, it was just a prank. There was no way-
“Hello.”
Miyeon turned around in shock, eyes widening at the sight in front of her. It was Kim Jisoo, even taller than she imagined. She quickly shook the star-struck feeling off, replacing it with a smile.
“Hi.”
“You did really well today,” he complimented.
Miyeon smiled brightly, both happy and relieved she apparently did so well.
“Thank you so much. That means a lot,” she fidgeted with the script in her hands.
“Is this your first time acting?” he asked.
“Excuse me,” they turned their heads to the origin of the interrupting noise. “We want to clear the room.”
“Ah,” Jisoo rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment. “Should we go?”
Miyeon walked alongside him as they exited the room. “To come back at your question, this is my first time acting.”
Jisoo raised his eyebrows. “Really? You were so professional today, I would’ve never guessed.”
“Was I that good?” Miyeon asked, her voice laced with surprise.
Jisoo nodded. “You really were.”
“Thank you.” Miyeon felt proud of herself, and she couldn’t wait to share this with the boys.
They came to a halt as Jisoo pressed the elevator button, waiting for it to arrive.
“Listen, I have a schedule after this, but do you want to get some coffee sometime?”
Miyeon grinned, biting her lip. Nobody had asked her out since her last -and only- boyfriend.
“Sure. You want to exchange numbers?”
Miyeon swore she could see a blush on Jisoo’s face, which he tried to cover up with a couch as he took his phone out of his pocket.
After putting her number in it, she handed it back. Right at that moment, they arrived at the bottom floor. Both Jisoo and Miyeon’s managers were waiting on them. “I’ll see you around then,” she smiled before walking to her manager.
Maybe she wouldn’t tell the boys about the last few minutes.

since monsta x and seventeen are friends, could you maybe do something with them and yeona?
YEONA AND MONSTA X MOMENTS
Tumblr media
taglist: @sakuurra, @raybans4, @enhacolor, @mythicalamphitrite
click here to be added to the taglist
____
MAMA Special Stage
Many carats and monbebes are well aware of the friendship between the two groups. One commendable moment was their iconic MAMA special stage.
Yeona had always been timid, si while at rehearsal she had a bit of trouble getting around with the other group. Luckily for her, Monsta X were more than willing to approach her.
"It's hot isn't it?" The younger female heard Hyungwon speak up from behind her. They just finished a take of their performance and now they were given some time to rest before they can start rehearsals again. Yeona turned her head to come face to face with the Monsta X member and nodded her head.
Just then Hyungwon gave out his mini fan to the the girl. Yeona looked at it for a moment, confused. "You can take it" He offers. The seventeen dancer shook her head and gracefully denied his offer, feeling shy that he had to give out that was his.
"Oh no. It's fine, really" She said with a small smile while waving her hands to say no. However, Hyungwon didn't take no for an answer and grabed her hand so he could place the mini fan on her hand. "It's okay, I can share with the other members". As soon as he dropped the item on her hand, he made her fingers grasp it better, and walked with a smile.
____
Sharing the same dressing room
Not a lot of fans know this but Seventeen and Monsta X used to share dressing rooms when they were rookies (Seungkwan and Chan actually shared this on a live ><)
For a lot of moments, Yeona started to become closer with the other group through this experience. In many cases, she would be sitting on a couch having a casual conversation with I.M. or she would be joking around with Jooheon while they wait to be called for pre-recording.
Sometimes when Yeona would be sitting in front of the mirror while getting touched up, Wonho would sometimes stand behind her making faces in front of the mirror to distract her.
____
ISAC
Monbebes and Carats couldn't help but notice when Yeona and Kihyun sitting back and whispering to one another while their members play around. It was as if the two were gossiping about someone by the way they reacted to each other's stories.
It was also funny to see Yeona take videos of Shownu when he was running around in a circle (iykyk) because she couldn't help but think it was hilarious and cute at the same time.
____
BEING FEATURED ON EX-GIRL
Last 2016, Yeona was given the chance to feature in one of monsta x’s b-side tracks named Ex-Girl. 
This marked as one of her first solo projects outside of Seventeen, and with other artists. People couldn’t help but praise her for her sweet voice and stated that the song matched her really well.
Monsta X even mentioned her during one of their interviews stating that they were really grateful that Yeona accepted the offer to sing alongside them and even talked about how fun it was to work with her. 
“I remember when we first called her to ask her if she wanted to feature in one of our songs and the first thing she told us was ‘If you’re kidding right now, I’ll never talk to you again’. We really didn’t make a wrong choice when we invited her.” - Wonho
Likewise, Yeona also stated that Monsta X had greatly helped her during recording and cheered her on.
“Hyungwon oppa and Minhyuk oppa were were there when I was recording my part of the song. Before I went inside I told them that I was a bit nervous because it was the first song I’ll be recording outside of Seventeen but they really reassured me a lot that I’ll do great and made sure to give me enough encouragement when I was inside the recording booth.”
____
CALLING EACH OTHER ON VLIVES
Another fan favorite moment was when Jooheon called Yeona while she was doing her birthday live.
In the middle of talking to the fans, Yeona was surprised to suddenly hear her phone ring only to find out it was Jooheon from Monsta X. The girl picked up the call with a smile, "Oppa! Hello!" She greeted happily.
"CHOI YEONA!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!" The older member shouted. The phone wasn't on loud speaker but the viewers could partially hear him due to his shouting. "Thank you!" Yeona shouted back to match his energy. "I'm actually on vlive right now"
"Oh really?"
"Can I put you on speaker?" The girl asked politely. When she got an approval, she turned on speaker mode and asked Jooheon to introduce himself.
"Hi everyone it's Monsta X's Joohoney. Please greet Yeona a happy happy birthday!"
A few seconds later, a muffled voice was heard from the background, then she heard a voice of another member. "Yeona! Happy Birthday!" Changkyun echoed in the background.
"Thank you oppas!"

Seeking Comfort
Monsta X AU: 8th member
Zoey x Monsta X
When Zoey feel sick, there’s only one person she wants.
A/N:  ALSO FYI check out my patreon (patreon.com/kllamallama for exclusive posts!)
Requests are CLOSED…but your feedback is still super important to me.
Masterlist and other Follow Me links in bio!
Tumblr media
There wasn’t very much about living in her own apartment that bothered Zoey. She lived with Seungcheol, but even when he had to spend the night elsewhere, it was a safe building. She’d never had a problem, not even when the power went out or during the worst of the quarantine restrictions.
But at times like these, when she was puking her guts out and had been for the past hour, she really wished she was back at the dorm with the boys.
“Oh my god.” She leaned up over the toilet again. There wasn’t much left for her to throw up, so she was mostly just gagging and wishing she was dead.
“Do you want to try more water?” Seungcheol asked when she was finished.
Zoey shook her head. “I’ll just throw it up.”
Seungcheol had been an absolute darling since she’d woken up feeling ill – sitting beside her, wiping her face when she was too exhausted, and even tying her hair back into the monstrosity that was currently contained by her scrunchie. But in spite of his comforting, it really wasn’t making her feel any better.
She knew it wasn’t his fault. He was doing what any sane person would do when their girlfriend was feeling sick, and that was being so sweet and amazing. But after an hour of feeling like absolute death, Zoey knew that there wasn’t going to be anything he could do to help.
“Do you think it was the chicken?” He asked softly, wiping some sweat off of her forehead.
“I don’t know.” It probably was the chicken, but she didn’t want to think about it. She just wanted to feel better, crawl back into bed and wake up and forget that this had ever happened.
“Do you want some ginger candies?” Seungcheol asked. “I can run out and get some. My mom always used to give me those when I felt sick. What did your parents –“ He trailed off.
Zoey closed her eyes. The last thing she wanted to do right now was think about her parents, but she knew that he didn’t mean anything by it.
“Kihyun had this…” She gestured limply as she tried to find the words. “tea thing. I don’t know what it was. It might have been ginger.”
“I can’t leave you alone.” He said quietly, rubbing her shoulder. She’d almost fainted when she had first tried to make it to the bathroom, and she wasn’t any better now than she had been then.
Zoey forced her eyes to open slightly, finding her boyfriend wearing a guilt-wracked expression. He clearly had no idea how to make her feel better, and Seungcheol wasn’t the type of person who could just sit by and do nothing.
“Maybe….maybe some tea?” She offered, trying to find something to keep him busy.
“Okay, I’ll make you tea.” He leaned down and pressed a kiss to her disgusting forehead, before standing up and leaving the bathroom.
Zoey wasn’t exactly sure how long she waited in the bathroom, but she only dry-heaved once before Seungcheol was back sitting next to her. As she’d suspected, she wasn’t able to keep down the tea that he’d brought, but she managed to take a sip of water without throwing up.
“You should go to bed.” She suggested. “You have stuff to do tomorrow.”
“You’re hilarious.” He nudged her foot.
“That’s why you love me.” She smiled weakly.
“Well it’s not your looks. Have you seen yourself lately?” He teased.
She huffed a laugh, leaning her head back on the edge of her bathtub.
The beeping of the door pin pad permeated her sullen contemplation, and she opened her eyes again. “Are we being robbed?”
“I don’t think so. I’ll be right back.” She didn’t even move as he left the bathroom. She could hear voices in the living room, but she was too exhausted to try and decipher them.
“Zo?”
“Kihyun?” She thought she might have been hallucinating. “What are you doing here?”
“Seungcheol said you were sick.” He reached out to feel her forehead. “And clearly he was right.”
“I don’t feel good.” She confirmed with an exaggerated nod. “But it’s the middle of the night.”
“You’re sick.” He repeated, like it was all the explanation he needed. “And Seungcheol sounded like he was panicking, so…”
Zoey smiled. “He’s being sweet.”
“If you say so.” Kihyun gently moved her so that she could rest her forhead on his shoulder, and started untangling the scrunchie from her hair. “I gave him the recipe for the honey lemon ginger tea that I always used to make you when you felt sick.”
“I knew there was ginger in it.”
“You should know, I’ve made it for you enough times.” He laughed.
Zoey smiled again. She wasn’t sure how many times over the years that Kihyun had sat up with her when she was feeling sick, but she still remembered the first time. Barely a month out of No Mercy when she’d caught the flu. He’d made her tea, soup, and babied her for four days straight. And it had been the first time in her life that anyone bothered to take care of her when she was sick.
“Do you feel like you’re going to throw up again?” Kihyun rubbed her back.
Zoey shook her head slightly.
“Okay, then let’s get you back to bed and you can have some of the tea before you go to sleep.”
She let him pull her to her feet, wrapping his arm around her waist to keep her upright. Slowly they limped back to the bedroom. She could heard Seungcheol in the kitchen, metal clinking against metal as he made the tea.
“Which side of the bed is yours?” Kihyun asked.
“What do you think?” Zoey’s head lolled to the side.
“I don’t know.” He snorted. “The entire time I’ve known you you’ve either slept in a twin bed or closest to the wall. There’s no wall side here.”
“I guess that’s true. With the stuffed bear.”
Kihyun looked up, noticing the worn teddy bear that Zoey had always had with her sitting on the nightstand of the right side of the bed. “Alright, let’s go.”
He helped her lay down in bed, propping her up with some pillows.
“Tea’s ready!” Seungcheol called, quieting as he stepped into the room. “I cooled it down.”
“Try just a few sips.” Kihyun directed, taking the mug from Seungcheol and held it up to her lips.
She carefully took two sips, sighing as the slightly bitter taste didn’t make her want to throw up. “That’s nice.”
“Good.” Kihyun stroked her hair again. “Go to sleep. I’ll stay the night and make breakfast or something.”
“M’kay.” She slumped down into her pillows, finally exhausted enough to go to sleep.
“Thank you so much.” Seungcheol whispered.
“No problem.” Kihyun nodded. “I’m glad you called.”
“Seriously, though. I don’t know what I would’ve done.”
“You would have been fine.” Kihyun smiled, knowing that it was true. “I’ll crash on the couch.”
“I’ll grab you some…” Seungcheol glanced down. “You’re already wearing pyjamas.”
Kihyun shrugged. “I ran out as soon as you called. Call me if she needs anything.”
“There’s a pullout couch in Zoey’s studio!”

Jealousy, Jealousy
Ivy + TBZ + SKZ
July 2021 
[ TXT 6th Member ]
Ivy invites two of her favorite people to watch her solo performance but only one shows up. 
masterlist | coffee? | Send in your requests for Ivy or any feedback/questions you have! Also, I’m going to try to be more consistent with posting now that summer quarter is over :) 
Tumblr media
“You made it!” Ivy exclaimed as she noticed Chan walk into her dressing room. She had invited him and Jacob to come watch her perform her solo on the first half special at KBS but Jacob had yet to show up. 
“Of course I did, I wouldn’t miss it for the world. I had a schedule before this and it ran a bit later than I thought it would.” Chan explained as he hugged ivy. 
“I just thought because you are a king now that you wouldn’t have time for me,” Ivy said, making a joke about Stray kids winning kingdom.  “Ha ha very funny. I will always have time for Ives.” 
“I thought you invited Jacob?” Chan asked, sort of confused when he didn’t see Jacob in the dressing room. “I did, I’m not sure where he is,” Ivy said, making her way over to the couch that was in the room, “ We talked this morning and he said he was coming.” 
“Did you by chance mention that I was coming?” Chan asked, thinking about the time Eric thought he and Ivy were dating. “I did, wait, you think he didn’t come because you were coming?” Ivy questioned, looking over at Chan who was currently helping himself the snacks she had on the table
“That’s exactly what I think.” Chan declared. Ivy was confused, why would Jacob be jealous of Chan she thought. “Why would he be jealous of you,” 
“Not jealous of me per se, more at the fact that you invited another guy to your performance,” Chan stated, as he sat down next to the girl on the couch. 
“But we’re just friends,” Ivy replied, reaching over to grab a chip out of the bag Chan was holding. “Yeah but think about it from a guy's perspective, when your girlfriend invites another guy to a special event, performance, or whatever, it makes you feel some type of way. As their presence and support aren’t enough for you.” Chan explained, hoping it would make a little more sense to Ivy. 
“That wasn’t my intention. You're my best friend and he’s my boyfriend. Of course, I want you both here,” 
“I’m not saying that’s the reason ives, I’m just saying maybe that’s how he feels,” Chan shrugged, continuing to eat out of the bag of chips he had in his hand. 
“Should I call him?” Ivy questioned, maybe he was just running late she thought. “If you want to sure,” 
Ivy got up from where she was sitting and walked over to the makeup vanity across the room to grab her phone. Unlocking her phone, she clicked on the most recent contact pressing call. 
Chan’s words made sense to her but she didn’t think Jacob felt that way. Maybe he just had a last-minute schedule or something and forgot to tell her. 
“Hello,” Ivy furrowed her brows, as the person on the other line answered. “Kevin?” 
“Yeah, sorry. Jacob left his phone at home, he’s not here right now. ” 
“Oh, do you know where he went?” Ivy, furrowing her eyebrows in confusion. 
“I’m not sure Ava stopped by and asked for his help with something. Wait, isn't your performance today?” Ivy was lost, she knew Jacob and Ava knew each other but she didn’t know that the two were friends. 
“Yeah, that’s what I was calling about, Jacob said he was coming.”
“I have Ava’s number, I can call and get a hold of him for you,” Kevin asked, trying to help the girl out. He also knew how much this performance meant to her. It was her first-ever solo performance. 
“No it’s fine, don’t worry about it. Thanks anyways” Ivy muttered, slightly disappointed. What could be so important that he left his phone at home and missed her performance? 
“No problem, oh and good luck,” Kevin cheered, earning a small smile from Ivy that quickly turned back into a pout. 
“Thanks,” Ivy muttered, hanging up the phone. She sighed, as she sat down on the chair in front of the vanity.
“You're pouting, what’s wrong?” Chan asked, noticing how the girl was pouting way before she got off the phone. He could tell she was upset about something. 
“Jacob left his phone at home and apparently he is out with Ava.” Ivy mumbled. 
“Ava? Like Stray Kids Ava? Like my Ava?” Chan titled his head a bit, looking at the girl with the same confused expression she previously had. 
“Yes, Chan. How many Ava’s do you know?” Ivy retorted, she was not only sad but highly irritated.  
“Right okay, did he say why?” Chan asked curiously. “Nope, only that she showed up at the dorm and needed help with something.” Ivy sighed, “I doesn’t matter anyways, I go on in 20 minutes.” 
“Will it make you feel better if I walk down with you?” Chan asked getting up from the couch and walking over to where Ivy sat. “Just a little, we should be leavingh here any minute now.” Right on cue, as if Ivy could see the future, after hearing a light knock the door opened revealing a staff member letting Ivy know it was time to make her way to the stage. 
“Alright, let’s go” Chan spoke, offering Ivy his hand to take. Ivy grabbed Chan’s hand as the two walked towards the door and proceeded to walk down the hallway that led backstage. Ivy was excited this is something she had been looking forward to the past few weeks, but she couldn’t help but feel disappointed that Jacob didn’t show up and she was determined to find out why.

Stay Out.
Vani + Changkyun
after finding out what vani said to mia, changkyun takes it into his own hands to finally tell her something.
hope you guys enjoy! please feel free to leave some feedback because it is always appreciated!
[7th Member of Monsta X]
Tumblr media
Vani stepped into the cafe Changkyun had told her to meet him at. She didn’t know why, but assumed it was just to hang out anyways. Little did she know, Changkyun had other plans.
She smiled brightly as she fully entered, scanning the room until her eyes landed on Changkyun. He was waving at her in the far back to grab her attention.
“Hey you.” She smiled at him. But then became confused when seeing Changkyun have a serious face. “Is everything okay?”
“We need to talk about something.”
“Oh? About what exactly?”
“Mia.”
Vani felt herself tense up at the mention of her name. She even began to feel a bit annoyed at just the thought of her as she narrowed her eyes at Changkyun. “What about her?”
He noticed the sour look on Vani, causing him to roll his eyes. “What exactly did you say to her?” He questioned. “And don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about either.”
“I just told her she needed to not come back into your life like she did nothing wrong.” Vani answered.
“Do you seem to understand that I forgave her?” Changkyun asked.
“Why-“
“Why? Why are you asking me why I forgave her?” Changkyun furrowed his eyebrows.
Vani began fumbling on her words as she tried to answer Changkyun’s question. “Because of- Kyun, because of what she did to you.”
“I understand that, but I’m pretty much over it. Her and I have talked about it. We’re on good terms, Vanessa.”
“Because you still like-“
“Stop that!” He exclaimed, frustrated. “That’s definitely not the reason.
Vani stayed silent, making Changkyun continue. “I know you mean well Vanessa, but shit, you didn’t have to go far and told her to stay away from me.”
“I’m just trying to be a good friend, Kyun. I didn’t want to see you hurt again.” Vani sighed. “What if she does it again-“
“Stay out.” Changkyun interrupted her, causing the girl to be taken back. “Just stay out Vanessa.”
Vani frowned. “Why are you defending her so much? No offense, Kyun but I was your friend first. It’s always been us two having each other’s back. And now that I’m watching yours you tell me to stop it.”
“Because you’re acting like you can control who I can or can’t be friends with.” Changkyun narrowed his eyes at her. “And you going behind my back and confronting Mia about it isn’t having my back. So please, just stay out of my business.”
“- and I hope you know she was started to avoid me again-“
“See!” Vani cut in.
“Because of you.”
Vani closed her mouth as she looked to the side, not wanting to look at Changkyun. She thought she was doing the right thing, but to Changkyun it was anything but right.
He did have a point, she couldn’t control who could be his friend. But with how far her and Changkyun had been friends and have always stayed together from the beginning, she felt the need to go protective mode.
But there was still that itch in her that couldn’t like Mia.
“Fine.”
“I’m not saying you have to like her. I know how you are as a person, but like I said before. Stay out.”
Vani got up from her seat, slowly walking away. “Fine, if that’s what you want.” Was the last thing she had told Changkyun before walking out the cafe.

Doess Taehee have any interactions with Everglow or Monsta X maybe?
taehee doesn’t have interactions with both of the groups so far :(
it’s a shame bc she loves jooheon’s rap and wants to be friends with him but she wasn’t part of the collab markyong did with their (and skz’s) rap line ,, and for everglow, we just know that the girls idolize taehee for her rap and dancing but no actual interactions yet !!!
but since we all know taehee’s the literal definition of a multi, she knows the dances to their songs really well !!! she knows the dance to ‘shoot out’ + we’ve seen her dance and sing to ‘love killa’ on vlive! for everglow, she’s danced to ‘la di da’ too on live but she definitely knows more ;D

Limits
“Alright boys we have to go to your schedule, phones to the managers please.” Got7′s manager called out as the boys piled into the living room. 
“Since when do we have schedule?” Bambam spoke up from the back of the van, “I thought hyung was going to the house and filming-” He fired off avoiding the slaps that Youngjae was sending his way to make him shut up. 
“All previous schedules are cancelled, just lets get ready and get there on time.” 
Got7 all reluctantly got ready, it wasn’t usual for them to have such an early schedule, but since the manager himself didn’t seem to be in a good mood they didn’t question much and got ready. As they all got ushered into the van, Jinyoung and JB could be seen pestering the managers about their phones so they could contact Ai-Huan- Seen as though she’d not fully recovered from the accident and had a schedule today. 
“Where are we even going? Can you at least call someone for me to make sure that she’s well enough to perform?” He continued to pester, when he’d woken up that morning Huannie had had problems breathing and since he didn’t have his phone to send her a thousand messages a minute he was getting cranky. 
“Aw, look at hyung being a good husband.” Yugyeom teased avoiding multiple slaps from the older boys. 
“Jinyoungie’s worried.” JB added in noticing the manager had been repeatedly telling them that they weren’t allowed their phones for the day.
-- 
An exhausted Huannie could be seen on the screen, she stumbled into the practise roo, and with each deep breath her chest hurt. She kept swallowing, her throat kept rapidly gasping for some air, but no matter what they did after each dance whether it be an oxygen mask or an inhaler they could not stop the woman from struggling to breathe. 
“Oppa, she isn’t ready to go back on the stage.” Lily suddenly spoke up in the tense room, it seemed that no one wanted to be the one to point out that Ai-Huan couldn’t do the things she used to as well as she used to be able to do, but there Lily stood fanning the older woman’s face as Huannie struggled to even mark their cover to Never Ever and Miroh. 
“What do you mean she had to perform? You can’t use her last breath to conjure up a good performance.” Jae-Mei joined in this time watching a manager for KBS shake his head. 
“She can’t physically perform two of the dances and our debut, it’s almost as if you don’t care.” Jae continues to rant, the manager under fire ended up storming out of the room leaving the four girls to figure out the best route to take next. 
“Should we just stop the schedule, just say the word and we will go home.” Lily ended up speaking up after a silent arguemnt with Bao, she’d handed Huannie a bottle of water to which the woman declined. 
“Does it look like aia need you three to baby me?” Huannie snapped after absorbing the current situation, she was sick and tired of the looks of pity being sent her way all morning, it was bad enough she felt weak- she didn’t want everyone else to think it though. 
“Hiyah, will you just stop trying use that sorry excuse of a poker face and just open up?” Bao snapped right back from her silent corner, she’d been watching the events unfold and although she could fully understand what was going through Huannie’s mind she wished that she’d just shut up and let them take care of her. 
“Yah, I know my limits, will you all hop off my dick for five minutes? Stop hovering around me like I’m going to break Lily, I’m fine.” 
“You can literally break now Ai-Huan, it’s not like before where yo uwere just overworked, now you’re one dance away from landing back in the hospiatl and I’m sorry if this sounds insensitive I don’t want that on my resume thankyou.” Bao snipped at her pointing at the heart monitor, it wasn’t that the girls were trying to wrap her in bubble wrap like the NCT boys did, they just didn’t want to see her laying in a hospital bed again. 
The girl under fire decided to step down and took her jumper off, midway to taking it off she heard one of the stylists gasp, when she looked down it was evident that the woman had seen the scar and the wires attatched to the monitor, needless to say Huannie quickly pulled the jumper back on wanting to crawl into a hole. 
“By all means take it off if you hot Huan, some people just don’t know how to show respect.” Jae called out telling her own personal stylist to take the rude woman out of the room and ushered Huannie to take the jumper off. 
“Lets get this over with shall we?”  Huannie swatted everyone away from her and took her place for the cover dance/ 
== 
There was 3 minutes until the girls were to go onstage, not knowing that multiple of the boys after recieving a call from the managers that the girls were bickering all day were trying to find a way to cancel the performance. 
“Yah, Ai-Huan!” Lily bustled her way over to the med deck, observing they were putting Huannie on the oxygen mask for an extra few minutes before they got on stage. “It’s gotten worse?” She asked assessing Huannie’s pale face, the woman in question shook her head with a sigh. 
“So lets cancel-” 
“No.” The woman protested swatting the younger girl away from her. 
“Why? Don’t be stupid Unnie you’re not ready to perform again.” Lily too had a hard glare on her face, to whih the older woman turned around to mimic it. 
“I can’t just cancel my carer for the next few months until I feel 100% better Lils, it’s called being responsible which is something you wouldn’t know about because Chan does everything for you. So do me a favour and stop babying me.” She snipped, it was a known fact that Huannie didn’t like people making a big deal about her condition, and when they did Huannie would be a raging ball of bitchiness. 
“Hajima, I’m just trying to keep you healthy.” Lily ended up bursting out as Huannie walked away ready to find Jinyoung, she had been trying to text him all day but hadn’t got anything back and she was ready to head hunt for him. Reluctantly Lily left to hopefully find one of the older women to back her up but hadn’t suceeded after Bao completely shut her down. 
-- 
It was time to go on stage and just as they were getting into their positions Lily started to mess around with the wires around Huannie’s skirt, personally the wires weren’t bothering Huannie as there wasn’t anything they could do about them but Lily was nitpicking with hundreds of people in front of them. 
“Hajimahaseyo Sohn Taliel.” Bao had cut in peacefully moving the youngest of the group into her spot, mainly so they could just get the performance over and done with and get Huannie off the stage as quick as possible. 
“Don’t tell me what to do.” Lily whisper-yelled at Bao, Huannie was too busy smiling for the audience to even entertain how childish this was. It was made clear the moment they walked out to the audience that the four girls had been arguing before the stage, it took Jae-mei to cover the three girls quietly bickering apologising to everyone in the audience. 
“You need to leave me alone and do your job.” 
“This- isn’t my job, I’m a boy group dancer.” 
“We are dancing a boy group song, so stop being childish and get yourself into position before I throw all three of you off the stage.” Jae butt in, pointing off stage where angry leaders such as Taeyong, Chan and Seungcheol were stood ready to give the three an ear bashing if necessary. 
Needless to say that the three girls learnt not to baby Huannie because she was perfectly capable of telling them where to shove it otherwise.

Forgotten
Tumblr media
monsta x 8th member au | monsta x x yun |  571 words
🍃 | ❝At least you were able to call the manager! I didn't have my phone so I was just stuck there hoping you'd come back for me.❞
🌪 | i was gonna write this when i first posted yun’s profile, but i didn’t and i forgot most of what i wanted to write which is why this is so short and kinda bad, sorry!
Tumblr media
Jin Kyeong followed behind Kihyun and Minhyuk as the group walked through the airport, headed to where she assumed was baggage claim, but she wasn’t too sure. She was still half asleep after being woken up from her nap to get off the plane. 
She tapped the two boys’ shoulders, telling them she was going to head to the bathroom. She meant to do it on the plane, but she fell asleep and didn’t get up until they landed. They told her they’d let the manager know and they’d wait for her, taking her backpack and watched as she ran in the direction of the bathroom.
Jin Kyeong came out of the bathroom, looking around for her members only to not see any of them in sight. She mentally cursed and wondered a bit further away to see if they were waiting in a different area. However, she was left alone.
Yun sighed deeply and started walking towards the exit. She wondered why Minhyuk had taken her bag. It had her phone and wallet; two things she desperately needed at a time like this. She didn’t have any of their numbers memorized, even though she should know her manager’s number, so she couldn’t call them even if she managed to get a phone. She sat outside of the airport, hoping they would show up. 
Tumblr media
The members got into the van, neither one of them paying much attention to what was going on. Minhyuk held onto Yun’s backpack, not realizing he hadn’t given it back to her. The van had started to drive out of the airport, everyone lazily playing on their phones. 
Minhyuk tossed his bag onto the seat next to him and realized he was holding two. He looked around to see where Jin Kyeong was sitting so he could give it back, but he didn’t see her anywhere. He tapped Kihyun’s shoulder, who was sitting in front of him, asking if he could see the short girl.
Kihyun looked behind him and his eyes widened realizing the rapper was nowhere to be found. “Did we forget her?” He whispered.
“Forget who?” Jooheon asked, who was sitting next to Kihyun and could hear what they were saying.
“Did we forget someone?”
“No one’s missing.”
All the members were now aware of the conversation and asking their own questions, wondering what was going on. “We might have forgotten Jin Kyeong.”
Hyungwon, Wonho, and Shownu’s eyes widened in alert while Changkyun and Jooheon started laughing, not believing them. “But her bag’s right there. She can’t be missing.”
“She said she was going to the bathroom and we took her bag. We forgot to wait for her.”
“We’ll just call her.” Hyungwon put his phone speaker, but instead of hearing the girl’s voice, they heard a phone ringing coming from the bag next to Minhyuk.
Minhyuk took the phone out of the bag and answered it, sheepishly saying ‘Hello.’ The others groaned and asked them how they could be so stupid. 
The driver turned the van around, heading back to the airport. The members kept arguing asking how they could forget something as simple as Jin Kyeong, especially when they were holding her stuff. “In our defense, she is really short. There have been many times she was with us but we didn’t know because she’s so small.” Hyungwon hit the back of Kihyun’s head for saying that even though it was true.

“What on earth are you doing?”
Zoey didn’t turn away from the cupboard, continuing to dig through it. “Looking.”
“Looking for what?” Seungcheol came to stand behind her. “You’re going to fall.”
“It’s not my fault you put everything on the top shelves.” Zoey looked down on him. She was rather precariously perched on the counter, but this was that third cupboard she’d searched through, with no success.
“You didn’t answer my question.” He reached up to grab her waist, lifting her off the counter. “What are you looking for?”
Zoey turned, crossing her arms. “Ramen.”
“Ramen?” He tilted his head. “We have ramen in here.” He reached to pull open the cupboard behind her.
“Not the spicy kind.” She pouted.
“Zo.” Seungcheol smiled. “It’s two in the morning. Why do you need spicy ramen?”
“Because I’m working, and I always need spicy ramen when I’m working.” She explained. “It helps me think.”
“You’ll get sick eating spicy food this late.”
“But I need it.” Zoey did her best puppy dog eyes. “I can’t be a genius producer without it.”
Seungcheol looked her up and down, already accepting that he wasn’t going to argue. It was impossible to say no to her, especially when she was standing there in just a sports bra, sweatpants and one of his button ups. Her was half knotted up on top of her head, with many strands escaping the messy bun, and there were dark circles under her eyes. All key signs that she was in the middle of a major work session.
“Do you want me to go get you spicy ramen?” He asked with a smile.
“Maybe.” She gave him a little smile.
“Okay.” He relented. “But just because I love you. And, of course, because I need your career to do well so we can keep living here.”
Zoey beamed. “I love you too.”
Seungcheol leaned forward, pressing a light kiss to her lips. “I’ll go get you enough ramen to last a month.” He promised. “So you go back to work.”
Zoey smiled, kissing his cheek. “You’re the best.”
“I know.” He pulled back. “I’ll be back soon.”
“I’ll be waiting.” She turned to go back towards her studio.
When he finally trudged out of the elevator after his trip to the store, he’d made the silent promise to himself to keep the kitchen always stocked with Zoey’s ramen. She was worth a lot, but a trip to the store at two in the morning, when it was pouring rain, didn’t really seem worth it. He was sure that the store clerk had thought he was insane.
He shifted both of the bags into one hand as he approached their door, going to type in the pin.
“What’s in the bag?”
He turned quickly, bowing as he spotted their neighbor. There were four other apartments in their hallway, but they barely interacted with them. The middle-aged woman speaking to him now lived directly across the hall from them, and they often saw her taking her tiny dog for a walk. She was setting a bag of garbage out in the hallway, staring expectantly at him for an answer.
“Good evening. Or…morning.” He bowed again. “Um, sorry, I didn’t mean to disturb you.”
“You didn’t.” She shook her head. “I was just wondering what made you take a trip out in the rain.”
“Oh,” He held up the bag. “My girlfriend needed ramen, and we didn’t have the kind she liked, so…”
“Ah,” She nodded, as if coming to a realization. “That happens a lot?”
“Um…not really.” He punched in his pin, hoping to put an end to the conversation. “I mean…. I went out for banana milk last week and passed you in the hall, but I promise I won’t bother you like that anymore.”
She nodded again. “Oh, don’t worry about it. I’ve heard it isn’t as much of a problem after the first couple of months. And besides, you’re a very caring boyfriend to make all of these late night trips for her.”
“Well, she’s going through a lot and working hard so I don’t mind.”
The woman smiled. “When is she due?”
Seungcheol blinked. “Sorry?”
“The baby. When is the baby due?”
Seungcheol’s mouth dropped open as he played the conversation over in his head.
“She’s….she’s….”
“Not very far along? I understand. You  must not be telling people yet.”
“No, I mean. We’re not….she’s not….this isn’t….”
“I’ll let you get back to her now, but if you ever need anything I’m right here.” The woman disappeared back into her apartment.
Seungcheol stepped back into his own apartment, locking the door behind him.
Zoey was there to meet him as he kicked off his shoes.
“Did you get it?” She exclaimed, taking the bags from him. “Wow, you got a lot.”
“It’ll last us for a while.”
“A few days maybe!” She grinned, grabbing a pot from one of the cupboards. “Who were you talking to out there?”
“The lady from across the hall.” He explained, following behind her.
“Why are you staring at my stomach?” Zoey asked.
He looked up to meet her eyes, not realizing that he had been staring at her stomach.
“Nothing…it’s just. You don’t look pregnant.”
Zoey gave him a dirty look. “Gee, thanks. Is that the standard, now?”
“No, I mean.” He shook his head, pushing her away from the stove as he started to boil the water. “The lady across the hall thinks you’re pregnant.”
“What, why?”
“Because I keep having to go out in the middle of the night to get snacks for you.”
“But you told her that I’m not, right?” Zoey hopped up to sit on the counter. “I can see the headlines. Oh my gosh, can you imagine if everyone thought I was pregnant. I’d be-“ She caught sight of his face. “Cheol….”
“What?” He turned towards the fridge, hunting for vegetables.
“You did tell her that I’m not pregnant, right?”
“Um….well, funny story.”
“Cheol!” She exclaimed. “I’m not pregnant!”
“I know that! But she seemed kinda happy for us and I didn’t want to correct her.”
“She’s going to notice when I don’t have a baby in however many months.”
“Well then, we’ll never need to tell her.” He said matter-of-factly.
“We’re telling her.” Zoey snorted. “I can’t have the whole floor thinking I’m pregnant.”
“Maybe they’ll give you presents.” Seungcheol offered.
“Cheol!” She shouted. “We are not pretending I’m pregnant just so you don’t have to tell her.”
“Why do I have to tell her? You’re the one who’s pregnant.”
She glared at him.
“Fine, fine.” He groaned. “But tomorrow. I’m tired.”
“Not too tired to cook, I hope.” She pointed at her ramen. “I am your pregnant girlfriend, after all.”
“I’m just trying to fatten you up so that we never have to tell her.”
