@ofovertime from x:

THE MOMENT --- he felt her hand slapped his ass, he couldn't help but look at her. Knowing full well how hard it could be to do that. he couldn't help but smirk a little bit.

" ... Hello darling. That is a new one to get my attention. But how's that hand of yours? you didn't hurt it did you?"

Jangmi's face scrunched up as she tried to swallow back a yelp of pain, but a little noise escaped her despite her efforts. It wasn't even just that her palm smarted like anyone's would after slapping someone's ass... Even her wrist hurt from the impact, like his ass was made of marble or something. She quickly eased her expression, not wanting to let on how she'd hurt herself, and grinned sheepishly, shaking her head. "N-no, of course not. Psh, as if I'm that weak!" she answered with a nervous laugh. "You know, your butt's surprisingly firm for how juicy it looks."

THIS IS A DRAMA, I’M THE DRAMA! The last performance is going to be here very soon! Once finished, the judges will give their critiques right after and fans will be given time to put in votes for them and other can do last minute voting, after this, the judges may choose who they would like to eliminate from the bottom four. But first let’s go see what the trainees thought of “Team Pink Venom”’s performance!

“Lolaaa hey, welcome to the dark side” a staff member joked as Lola sits in the confessional room chair. “As you know the song choice for group three is Pink Venom~ what do you think about that?” She asked. “I’m a bit shocked that the production team picked out Pink Venom for a song,” said a very unsure Lola, “I think the lineup is great and all, but it can be a tough Blackpink song to master…All I’m saying, if it’s not done right the girls might be set up for disaster…”

FAST FOWARD AFTER THE PERFORMANCE OF TEAM PINK VENOM!

“i don’t care that the line distribution was wild, like yeah that sucks, but my girl Yurim ate. She didn’t have a lot to work with in our first performance so she made sure that she gagged everyone in this performance one. And she’s the only one here who could pull it off anyways.” Said Yedam, it seems like these past week Yedam and Yurim has gotten very close, we love to see it!

Yebin probably looked the happiest she’s looked watching Sasha perform. “Sasha just has that it girl factor about her. It’s refreshing to see someone stand out like she does.” A rare compliment from Yebin! When the camera cuts back to her, she’s smiling and cheering whenever Sasha comes on screen.

Sani, however, seems bored. Staring blankly at the screen, clearly zoning out. “I’m just getting tired,” Sani admits in the confessional, “There’s a lot of performances and some are better than others. It was kinda boring watching one girl sing the whole time.” She tries to explain as sweetly as possible. When the performance is over, she doesn’t hug the girls like she did for the previous performances.

“It was kind’ve shocking to see that Sani didn’t hug or greet us after the performance,” Yoon pouts. “I mean—she’s very bubbly and always congratulates everyone after, maybe she was just tired, I won’t hold it over her head.”

"Team Pink Venom did a really good job! In my opinion, I think Sasha stood out the most because she looked very sassy up there. Very powerful. I'm not saying the other girls didn't stand out, though! They all stood out in their own ways, and I liked them all." Rin said smiling. It seems Sasha has made a lot of people admire her, wow! “However, I think Yurim needs to work on her dancing a bit. She’s not bad or anything, but like a lot of us, she could be better! I hope I don’t offend her or something.” *🤨*

Rin sat next to Sani while watching team pink venom's performance, and they looked to be talking a lot and having a good time! She also talked to her cousin, Jangmi, a bit about family stuff and even though it took Rin a while to approach her, she managed to speak to Baebi, as well! She fan-girlied over her in her head before walking towards her.

Hana appears on screen again, sitting in front of the camera in the confessional, examining her nails with a bored expression. "I suppose it wasn't bad. Definitely more interesting than Team Fancy's performance." When she glances up at the camera, her expression shifts slightly. It's subtle, but some of her usual cockiness is missing. "Sasha really stood out for me. On the other hand, giving lines to Yurim was a waste. Just another mystery of this contest, I guess."

The scene cuts to the backstage during Team Pink Venom's performance. Hana and Lo are sitting together in a corner, each holding a mini fan to cool off after their own performance. Both are intently watching a monitor displaying the performance. About halfway through the song, Lo lets out a long sigh, a look of sympathy on her face. "Poor Yurim, she must be nervous with all those lines." Hana shrugs slightly. "That's one way to put it, I guess." Well, we can see that they both think differently.

IT IS STILL EPISODE ONE The show has fast forward, so that it is now a few days after Team Pink Venom performance. Jennie walks onto the stage to introduce the second group performance of the series.

Jennie walks on stage, looking as gorgeous as ever, she begins to announce the song and the trainees of the performance. “I know ya’ll are probably sick of seeing me“ she laughs, “—but I’m going to be here the whole time, I’m gonna make the money worth it, so!”

“Anyways, this song is actually a b-side, and not everyone might not know this, but it’s really good! These talented girls will be performing Illusion by aespa, this song can be difficult to perform so let’s hope they do well!”

“Please put your hands together and help me welcome the girls of “Team Illusion”, Sani, Jisu, Lola, and Yedam.” She smiles and leaves, jittery and ready for them to put on a show.

Line distribution

Sani — 59.6 seconds

Jisu — 75 seconds

Lola — 51.1 seconds

Yedam — 45.3 seconds

Malleus' tamagotchi. A theory.

A theory that i haven't seen talked about a lot. {personally}

Going through pinterest and searching random stuff, i would eventually fall into TWST meme posts and more. One of them is Malleus holding his tamagotchi, "Roaring Drago"/ "Gao-Gao Drakon-Kun" and something saying about it being an easter egg. This includes the comments explaining that a tamagotchi's life lasts 12 days at most. After it ends, you will get a new egg/respawn. I can't find this currently. But i give credit to the pinterest post for this.

So, welcome to the tamagotchi theory. A blab since i was bored and don't have other twst fans to talk to. TW: Unedited, English is still not my first language, poor grammar, poor punctuation, possibility of missed information, spoilers, I am only caught up to chapter six on lore. Haven't played it the past few months.

Through the comments, it had spoke about Malleus possibly restarting the world. Just so then he wouldn't have to see Lilia go away or humans such as Yuu, Sebek, or Silver pass on. I'm saying Sebek since he is half human half fae. Therefore, even as i am unknown of his life span, would most likely have a shorter span than Malleus since it seems that he is growing by human years and stages. Sebek Zigvolt is 16[source] It would make sense if Sebek Zigvolt had a life span longer than humans yet shorter than faes. Other than that, we go to Yuu. It is known that Yuu may have a chance to get back. Even then, It doesn't matter, teh reaction will still stay teh same. Even if Yuu stays, they will age on since Yuu is a human. If Yuu were to stay in Twisted Wonderland with no way back, then Yuu would also die in twisted wonderland from age or other means. We can delve into the Yuu and Malleus relationship as well. Described as having a "...powerful aura that wards away most people from approaching him." More may have been described as: "...doesn’t get too friendly as he speaks, his calm, respectful yet cold tone always remaining and even those who want to get closer to him (like Silver or Sebek) fail to do as much as they wish to." "Malleus himself does not interact closely with other students beyond Lilia, Silver, and Sebek... this is mostly due to others being scared and avoiding him." "Despite enjoying time alone, away from his concerned and watchful attendants in exploring abandoned buildings, Malleus shows signs of loneliness and a desire to connect normally with others." This description of him depicts of how lonely he is always as way of communication. Yuu was one of the people to introduce themselves calmly to Malleus. Even having the choice to call him a nickname, showing that how he hides his name is another way to show how he knows that people fear him. Yuu is as well the first to treat him without a sense of caution. Still treating Malleus as a friend even after being informed of him and who he is. It is safe to say he is quite friendly with Yuu. As much as we wish TWST was an Otome, although the characters act differently (ex.Malleus, Rook, etc.) But, we can still say that They are still friendly. With this, Malleus may have a tendency to be attached to such people in his close ad small friend group. "...He is also said to have a naïve and childish side to him..." I bring this up since I am as well afraid everyone i know may leave some day. Malleus is afraid of that as well seeing how he reacted to Lilia leaving and Yuu having the possibility to go home.

This is all for now since i have lost my train of thought. This may become a Repost thread, idk. I blabbed and blabbed. This is just a dump of everything in my brain.

None of this is to be canon, it's just a theory. If you have any thoughts then just comment or repost idk.

✎ 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐝𝐚𝐲 🌙

Walking into the cafe a little earlier than agreed upon, Mikyoung pulls out the card she had bought on her way there and a pen to write in it. The poor omega had no idea that it was Chan's birthday until she had been scrolling through social media and had seen a post from Jangmi that basically screamed, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALPHA!"

It wasn't a lot, she didn't think it would be weird for her to give him something but she also didn't know what to get him specifically when they haven't yet had the chance to get to know each other on a deeper level. Of course, he likes music because he's a producer but isn't that kind of obvious? Does he like food? She can't bake anything but she could buy him a meal.

Like she is today. Great timing.

Signing a little heart next to her name, coming off from the 'g', she blows on the ink for a moment before hearing the bell chime and looking up to see the blonde Alpha walking in. Her heart skips at the sight of him but she manages to compose herself well as she hurries to hide the card in her purse just as he approaches the table.

"Hey!" She stands up, taking a moment before going to give him a hug, them both sitting down shortly after. I mean, it's not like she wasn't once covered in his scent as he cleaned her wounds, a hug isn't going to be weird for them now, right? "I'm glad you were able to meet me today." Her hands are reaching for her purse, trying to keep the bag from his view. "Though, you didn't tell me that today was an important day!"

Pulling out a small gift bag, the omega smiles sweetly as she passes it over. Giving Chan a moment to look inside, Mikyoung watches and waits before giggling at him reading the card out loud.

"Hap-pea birthday, Alpha Chan. I hope your day is filled with love and memories. All the best, Mikyoung ♡"

The card read 'Yip-pea' with three peas celebrating on the front so the woman couldn't resist feeding into the pun. Wrapped neatly in some patterned tissue paper are a couple of bookmarks that she's recently made, a favourite pass time of hers especially since she has a nice collection of books to use them for.

"I don't know if you're a flower man but I do love teaching the kids how to do little arts and crafts. I had made these at home last week and thought I'd gift them to you for your birthday." It's a little obvious that she's waiting for his response by the way her back is straight and posture expectant. Mikyoung does hope that he likes the small gift - especially because it would help her learn something new about him.

Once they had ordered, she starts asking about any new projects that he's been doing, listening enthusiastically to what he's saying while also appreciating how hard he must work. "I saw something recently, you used to be an idol, right?" She twirls the pasta around her fork as she remembers the article she saw recently.

Of course, Mikyoung wasn't entirely sure about the article and she wasn't sure if it was true or not because she's not about to go prying into Chan's personal life; however, she'd be lying if she wasn't curious about whether the rumours were true considering what she had seen herself. Was Jangmi really his girlfriend, mate maybe? She did think that something was going on with them when they were dealing with the moon situation, the hybrid even smelled like him when they met.

Pushing those thoughts out of her mind, she gets back on track. "You were the leader of Stray Kids, right? Isn't that your pack? Do you still make music with them from time to time? Or by yourself?" Curious, Mikyoung asks questions, answering anything he asks in return, while she shares lunch with the Alpha.

A lunch in which she insists she's paying for. It is his birthday after all.

[taegularities]

Oh I was entertained to the fullest and till the very last devoured the whole thing in one sitting like 🍗💋

Firstly I love it more than before everytime I read your recent works it's just gets better your writing is just getting better with every fic and the whole description just crunchiest shit 🫦🫦 which is so rare to get such quality in this fanfiction community and very few who just do it WE LOVE IT BABE the growth and hard work you put in these ffs so much love and appreciation for you and lots of respect

Personally love this inner monologue of jk's you did in this just OH MY FUCKIN GOD like for a good minute even after knowing he gonna be assy musty bitch I was rooting and feeling for this guy so much.

My thoughts were like okay it's just little insecure narcissistic eittiy bittiy baby boy we are dealing with who is about to get his shit wrecked up and down but DASH 💨 we got some other route I knew it exact the moment Chaos coming when oc mentioned the college and her friend like yes bitch ✨✨✨✨ you are fucked 🤭🤭 we are getting a HIT 🔥🥵 SHOW

And is it bad to say I feel little bad for the unreleased song unfortunate how poor song isn't getting released anytime soon #justicefortheunreleasedsong

WOW LIKE WOW scrumbley delicious smut gosh RID you really outdid yourself with this one just 👩🏻‍🍳🍳 I wanna know how you writing this good smuts lately so much better than some actual publishing authors 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Now coming to the oc's friend I understand her and sympathize her and nor I wanna sound like some completely unsympathetic person BUT !!!! like C'MON GURL HE WAS A CLEAR CUT VISIBLE RED FLAG he put on display of himself and still you went in like your friend is able to see more into your whatever relationship than you at all we clearly DELUSIONALLY BLIND 🦯 too our own goodness but that was very dumb 😭😭 of her I'm sorry like we can't even blame her people even IRL be doing shit like that. I'm not victim Shaming at all like yes what the fucker character of jk did was absolutely disgusting and deserved Karma he got at the end

But how come she never thought of her friend who was constantly there for her like if you would have asked oc to commit murder I'm sure she would have gone all 🤺🤺 not that we support such stuffs 🙅🏻‍♀️ but some 🦨 nasty deserve

Being for real if not legal action she and oc could have pull some smart move revenge prank back on him if only she genuinely listened to oc I don't know I feel bad how she just didn't give much thought and went away so fast after that fuckers bullshit talk

Btw I Love that playlist thingyy you did cherry on top loved how similar taste we share (⁠´⁠ ⁠❥⁠ ⁠`)

And about jk's character dynamic I feel like he always prefer himself in way he chased himself in people from very childhood getting full on best treatment and praise from all side clearly made him little narcissistic and self obsessed with zero expectations of returning back anything to the point he thought of anyone but him and his Chase for more appreciation and undivided love in different people all the time till he get's bored from them when they start asking back for the some love YK which is what we get to see with jangmi like all he wanted was typical love me all you can without wanting back in return till I get board and toss you I'm sure even after all that he keep on doing same shit with others assholes like him never stop any lower

Untill he got faced with something to Chase more just like parallel to his career we can see it's like he wants to something to engage with on constant like a spoiled brat child who is more so anticipated of opening the gift rather than receiving or appreciation of others hope it's all making some sense ⊂⁠(⁠◉⁠‿⁠◉⁠)⁠つ

And I kinda I wish there was more of uglyness from oc's side yes I'm through and through satisfied but still I was wishing more of a femme fatale crazy havco taking place her making him all tangled up in love  and obsession full-on blinded by her to the point he can't still imagine her do something like this just swapping off floor from his feets like ⛽🔥📛👩🏻‍🚒🚒

Really love you appreciate you for putting this out here for us 💖🙏🏻

~🦴🔫 anon

32k in one sitting is insaneeee 😭 omg did i get better? thank you.. as someone with a creative hobby, this is all i could hope for :') gosh, i bet there are so many people out there who are amazing and do even better stuff than i do, but you're so sweet and i'll take the compliment 🥺

glad you liked the jk pov :P he's super secure and insecure about himself at once!! definitely is a narcissistic, whiny baby either way :') yes!! the world missed out on the song bc it was my time, one of the greatest tracks ever made, but what can we do 🤣 THANK YOU FOR LIKING THE SMUT. i am quite proud of it, if i say so myself, like i do think it was one of the better ones i've written so far :D how i'm writing such good smut lately? who'd know 👁 LOL

you right you right, the friend was certainly naive, but i guess that was just part of her personality, you know? like, jangmi was an extremely kind, extremely giving person. she trusted others and she believed in love, she just gave that trust to the wrong person. she hoped she could change him, or make him love her; just a very "oh a bad boy, i can fix him" kinda mistake. oc isn't like that – she sees through people fast.. and she tried to convince jangmi, but love is love and it does make you blind and you only really see the issues once the loved one is gone in one way or another. things would've turned out so differently if she'd listened to her best friend though sigh :') and oh, oc definitely wanted to take legal action! or hurt jk in some way, but jangmi, as someone who really really liked kook, did not want to go that far.. she was not the type of person to take revenge or pull a prank.

hehe okayyy, i put a lot of thought into the playlist!!!! so happy you enjoyed it!! any fav song on it?

yup yup, the top notch treatment he got from his family, and as the younger sibling too, certainly shaped him. made him selfish for sure; for him, nobody is good enough, and he def deffff doesn't expect anything from anyone!! except maybe attention and love, but he won't settle for long enough to actually give anything back. proceeds until he gets bored and then moves to someone else. chasing someone else was new for him, which is why oc intrigued him so much haha she didn't give a shit about his advances :P

yeahhhh, i think oc has a lot more in her than we know, but since the fic was already too long and we didn't see much of her thoughts or anything from her pov, it was a bit hard to go the full femme fatale route 🤣 not sure if he would've ever fallen in love with her, tbh.

i appreciate you so so much, babe!!!! thank you for dropping such a long fkn review??? i'm sorry i got to it so late, but i wanted to give a thought out response. literally, never stop and ily <33333

Crewel found out about the fact that Yuu and Epel did NOT do ANYTHING after his words.

They ran away without warning for a Rook in STYX. To the secret centuries-old overblot research base!

Leaving Pomfiore unattended at all.

They made a complete rout there, led to the 6th overblott.

But they returned all the abducted, including the director.

THE WHOLE COLLEGE NOW THINKS THAT YUU IS SOME KIND OF UNKILLABLE TERRIBLY TENACIOUS SATAN.

(6 OVERBLOTS + A BUNCH OF DANGEROUS MAGIC BATTLES. AND THEY ARE STILL ALIVE!!)

It 's playing in his head -

"They said all teenagers scare the living shit out of me They could care less as long as someone'll bleed"

Divus - on the one hand I am very proud of this puppy, on the other I am terrified. What. the. hell??? Yuu meanwhile, barely standing on his feet - believe me, teacher .......I ask myself this question every time. In fact, I'm worried how Crewel will smash the Rook with his whip that he took two children (first-year students) to such a dangerous place and did not persuade them to return.

But first the Rook will be killed by Vil. AYVVLYJPLAJV

Vil - DID YOU BRING FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS WITH YOU?!AGAINST ROBOTS THAT DIDN'T CARE ABOUT MAGIC?!?

Rook - oh my beautiful Vil! even in a rage, you're beautiful!!!

Yuu hides Epel behind his back so that he doesn't get hurt either. - God rest your soul, Rook....

Riddle on Malleus's birthday interview - What would you really like to get?

Malleus thinks for a while and grins cheerfully - Hmm. And what would you prefer Rosehearts?~

Riddle ponders, carefully considering the answer - Strawberry pie? and I will try a lot of different sweets and cakes.

Malleus chuckles softly- How charming...Well, it will be...Heart.

Riddle freezes in place completely not understanding. - Huh?

Malleus is dreamily thinking about something - The heart is a Child of man...

Riddle petrified on the spot and rapidly turning pale "what the hell...?!?!"

***

Riddle returned to his dorm so pale that everyone thought that the poor dorm leader would have a stroke now.

Trey putting down his notebooks and pen and hurriedly approached Riddle - Riddle? Are you feeling unwell? Did something happen?

Cater - Malleus scared you?

Riddle snapped and was shaking in a wild panic - HE WANTS TO KILL THE PREFECT OF ONBORO AND TEAR OUT HIS HEART AS A TROPHY!!!!! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH HIM?!?

Trey and Cater are terrified - HE WANTS TO DO WHAT?!?

***

Ace and Deuce drag Yuu to their dorm - Boys, can you really explain what's going on?!

Deuce - we're saving your life!!

Ace - and forestall the murder!!

Yuu is completely confused - almost everyone in college tried to do this, why are you behaving like this right now?!

Ace - Draconia wants to rip out your heart!!!

Deuce - yes! He told the Rosehearts dorm leader about it!! He wants to take it as a trophy!!!

Yuu get even more confused - WHAT?!

Ace - You'll thank us later!

Yuu - You're nuts!!you couldn't clarify with him what exactly is the topic with "Heart"?!

Ace suddenly realizes how ambiguous "get a heart" sounds - I ESPECIALLY WON'T GIVE YOU TO THIS STRANGE GUY.I AM AGAINST THIS RELATIONSHIP!!

Yuu - you could just say you're jealous...

Yuu has a hoodie with a pocket. And Grimm makes full use of this pocket, like as well as this cute adorable white kitten marshmallow.

Yuu and cooking.

I am very interested in how, with a meager budget and a very hungry Grimm, does Yuu eat?

And also all these beautiful Korean food blogs are to blame. Please stop, I want to try it all now..

So my little story / fiction.

Sorry for the mistakes

A few weeks after arriving at TWST, Yuu realizes a very important thing.

She needs to learn how to cook something more diverse than scrambled eggs, toast and pancakes. And learn to calculate your budget more economically so that it is enough for the repair of the Onboro and for the terrifying appetite of the Grimm.

At first, Yuu tried to teach him that stealing food is bad. But it was a stupid idea considering how boring they had to eat and they had to listen to "rumbling concerts" because of Grimm's empty stomach.

She even had to work out a strategy not to go to lunch and dinner with the duo of Adeuce and Grimm. To attend and sit in the library all the time.

Yes, she had to cut her own food down to one meal. And stay on free fruits that can often be found in the cups of canteens.

(Toboso mentioned that such fruit cups are found in many private schools, plus the boys are growing up and always want something to eat.)

Because of this whole scheme, Yuu lost 8 kg in two months.

Crewel was the very first to notice that one of his puppies looks more pale and unhealthy. Of course, this could be attributed to adaptation and stress from the place and people.

But Trein also noticed that the student looks not very cheerful, but terrifying...exhausted when no one notices her. But he doesn't dare show it to anyone.

In addition, the old worn-out uniform that she got from Crowley definitely became a size bigger for her.

Crowley received a very clear "double warning" from both of them, and thus Yuu got a small scholarship.

The scholarship for Yuu was mandatory, as a child with no legal or legally registered relatives, and since she was in the care of the college, NRC received a small addition to the budget for her maintenance at the college.

Crowley didn't lose much money and was finally left alone by the angry stares of the teachers.

When Crewel volunteered to be the one handing over her weekly scholarship payment. Yuu thought at first that she had hit her head or a mistake had occurred. She didn't even have a birth certificate, let alone a simple mention of schooling.

You can argue with me, but the teachers are the secret parents-guardians of Yuu.

Crowley - plays the role of a distant relative who is always causing chaos. And thus Yuu was able to get a little more chances for her culinary skills. As well as funds for three meals a day. Let it not be high-class, but it was enough for her to quickly recover from her very harsh idea.

Developers and owners of the game. - Twisted Wonderland is not an otome-game.

Toboso Yana. - This is not otome-game.

Fans. -Yes. We understand that this is definitely not an otome game.

Malleus ABSOLUTELY ignores all this and subtly flirts with Yuu 24/7/365 (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧

Yuu is very embarrassed with and charming blush -.....and no one told him about it????( 〃▽〃)

LOOK THIS

"Won't you check if there's any cream left on me? It would be quite tasteless to use magic to wipe off the "lucky gift" after all."

"Something I want? I can't think of any at once... But if you insist, maybe someone who will come with me to explore ruins together?"

"Oh, did you bring me a drink? Very well, then come sit next to me and be my conversation partner as well. Surely you won't refuse the main character for the day's request, won't you?"

"If you like the patch emblem for the Gargoyle Research Society, then you should join as well. So that you can wear the same thing."

I'M SERIOUS, THIS GUY WITH HIS BIRTHDAY LINES WANTS TO GIVE ME A HEART ATTACK!!

MALLEUS HAS BEEN CALLING YUU ON A DATE FOR THE SECOND YEAR TO LOOK AT THE RUINS. I NEED THIS EVENT, I SWEAR TO YOU.(」°ロ°)」 Yuu already owe him 11 dates?

Correct me if I'm wrong, last year on his birthday Malleus talked about 10 walks to see the ruins.

*cough*Private Audience of the Prince of Thorn Valley *cough*

I have two fears.

- Valentine's Day event

- Chapter 7. (Given the timing and how the other plot parts came out, we should find out the beginning at the end of this year. But these are just my assumptions.)

TC!JK Yn watches as Jungkook stabs her in her heart. And again and again and again.

She smirks.

Dami got what she deserved for trying to steal what's hers. It's all because of her liking Jungkook HER Jungkook that everyone suffered.

Yn would've never killed all three of those women.

With Eunji, she put sedatives in everyone's drinks to make them fall asleep and she took her away when everyone was asleep and beheaded her and laid her body beside Dami's bed where she was originally sleeping.

The psychotic look in her eyes with her blood splashing on her face was beyond scary.

With Jangmi it was easier, all she had to do was gouge her eyes out and that's it. She made sure to keep them as a memorial for later.

With Jieun, she just hit her head with a brick and intentionally hid her body there near the kitchen cabinets.

All while this, she was mixing several herbs in Dami's food to make her anxious and hallucinate. With every meal she took, her hallucinations increased.

Yn left an anonymous note every single day to make Dami believe that she is the one doing all these things and since the herbs were doing their magic she believed it all.

That night when she saw Jieun's body she believed that it was her who did it so she tried hiding it. Poor Dami's timing wasn't right and Jungkook saw her.

The next morning, Yn butchered Jieun's lifeless body, chopping it into pieces and hiding everything with Dami's things to frame her and it surely worked. The flesh in that bag was hers after all.

Dami is, well Was always very easy to manipulate. Yn always made sure that her sister was with the right people as Dami was always babied by their parents who were more like Dami's parents.

As for her parents they also got their karma. They were forcing her to marry Yn off to an old merchant for money so she burned down the whole house and made it seem like it was an accident.

Don't get her wrong Yn loved her sister. She never hated her for what their parents did to her. Dami was always dear to her but you know who Yn loved even more than Dami? Jungkook. He is the only good thing that happened to her and Yn was Not going to let anyone take him away from her. No one. And should was willing to go to great lengths for him and she proved it too.

All she needs is to confess her feelings to him now that this is done.

After the execution of your sister, the king takes his leave when her body is taken away.

Jungkook waits for his father to leave and slowly, the crowds disappears. He walks back into the palace, with his sword in his hand and without another word, he’s going back into his chamber so he can get clean

He loves getting blood all over him, but then he gets an ick and he has to get rid of it. Especially when it belongs to your sister.

he knows that you’re upset right now and you’re probably grieving your sister, but she had to die because she killed innocent people

 why would she do that?

“Agggh it felt good.” He gets into his bathroom and strips off his clothes

As he gets into the freshwater in the tub, his shoulders relax.

She couldn't help but chuckle softly at Sayuri's question. It seemed poor Ijichi's relay of information had gone through one ear and out the other. At least it wasn't all in vain, as Jangmi had listened. It seemed like the only useful thing she had done thus far, as Sayuri needed no help dispatching the curses. Sure, there had been a lot of them, but perhaps Yaga had underestimated the Kobayashi woman--or overestimated the amount of curses, and their grades.

Jangmi also tilted her head a little at Sayuri's noise of discomfort. "You okay? A curse didn't get you, did it?" she questioned, genuine concern in her eyes. At the other woman's instruction, she nodded, starting off in the direction of the entrance to the school. It was after hours, but that didn't necessarily mean the place was empty. A teacher could be working late on lesson plans, or students could have stayed behind longer than normal for extracurricular activities. She diligently opened each door she came to, making sure to enter and scope out any obvious hiding places carefully. "It's sad, isn't it?" she asked to fill the silence. "How schools are so often places rife with curses... All the stress we put them under. All the bullying that goes on." She sighed. "Kids should have it easier."

         “There was a briefing?” perplexed, her brow raised as she tilted her head, minor details were something she often glossed over. Gone were the days she constantly hindered on the smallest of warnings, exceptional strength meant little stood in her way, including the thought of cautionary advisory. Hands that dust away any remnants that remained on her form fitting attire, shifting as she groaned, the desire for a shower && cup of coffee gnawing at the lining of her stomach. “Ideally, I wish to say no but the more mature response is always yes, just in case” the soft jest met with a dry laugh, her husky voice light with a bounce as she moved, binding her calloused grasp once more. 

                   “We’ll go together, just in case, take the lead I will cover your back”

Jangmi reached forward towards the door handle, fingertips enveloped in the black-and-teal flare of cursed energy as she used her technique to pick the lock of Satoru's apartment. Yaga had let her know that he was sick, and luckily she had no law school classes of her own that day of the week, so she was able to take his place for the day. She'd texted him directly before starting the first class of the day, letting him know she'd be by later to check on him. Jangmi hadn't received a reply, but she figured she'd given him plenty of notice.

When the lock clicked, she dropped her technique to open the door, peeking inside. "Satoru?" she called as she leaned further in, hair spilling past her shoulder in a pink curtain. She heard a moan coming from the direction of his bedroom, and pursed her lips. It crossed her mind that he could have lied about being sick to play hooky, and hook up with a girl. Maybe that was why he hadn't replied?

Her heart clenched painfully at the idea of catching him with another woman, but she crossed the threshold to come inside anyway, closing the door behind her as she slid her oxfords off. "I'm coming in~ You better not be faking or I'll tear you a new one."

When she arrived at the foot of his bedroom door, her eyes softened at the sight of him buried deep in his covers and pillows. Even as cocooned in them as he was, she could tell he was shivering, and could see a thin sheen of sweat on his forehead. Jangmi came to the side of his bed, kneeling down on the floor next to it to set down the plastic bags she was carrying. "You poor thing," she cooed, reaching out with gentle fingertips to brush back the locks of hair that had plastered to his pale skin. "Fever?" she asked. She watched as he nodded with another groggy groan, and she placed the palm of her hand on the top of his head.

"I have medicine for the headache you must have. And I brought some ingredients for spicy Korean soft tofu soup." She pet his hair softly. "You should drink some room temperature water, too." Jangmi paused, waiting for him to sit up, to tell her he was ready for all of that. When he didn't, her brows ticked up, deducing that he didn't want to move. Maybe a little incentive was necessary? "If you're a good boy and do as I say, I'll get naked and chase those chills away with my body heat." Her tone was soft and playful, but the look in her eyes was sincere. If he was really so miserable being cold even under all those covers, she would help him in that way, too. "So what do you say?"

[clubwnderland]

It's all worth it when Chris sees the look on Irene's face.

The endless balloons, the struggling with the cake order, the decorating and dealing with kids stealing food, the reaching out to people and inviting them over. Getting out of his comfort zone and everything else is all worth it when Irene's eyes widen, when her jaw falls to the floor, when her hands are held up in surprise, and when she turns to look at him in such disbelief.

He's honestly surprised he managed to get it all done in time; he's surprised Chan said yes to using his place, and he's surprised Channie and Jangmi didn't mess up the cake. He's surprised Sanie and Vitoria picked up the phone and showed up with gifts and all, surprised Alice offered to help decorate, and surprised Juyeon and San remembered to bring over the drinks.

He's overall surprised. Impressed. Hell, he even convinced Chan to allow Spartan in and got him a silly little bow!

It's all worth it, and as he kisses the top of Irene's head he motions for her to walk in and greet everyone.

The wolf stands back as he stares. The way Vitoria gives her such a tight hug, whispers to her ear a happy birthday. The way the woman steals Rinnie from Alice's arm, smiling happily at the drawing the toddler has for her. How Sanie waits patiently his turn, handing Irene her gift bag and giggling as she hugs him and kisses his head a couple of times.

She's eventually back, arms wrapping around his neck as she brings him down for a kiss. Chris chuckles, hands resting on her hips as he smiles onto the kiss, a soft happy birthday spoken against her lips before she drags him with her.

A success, he'd say.

It's a lot. It's more than a lot really, it's everything. This is everything Irene had ever wanted and there is barely anything in this world that could make her feel more loved than she does right now.

When the others had gifted her a spa day, she hadn't thought that it could potentially be used as a way to get rid of her for the day. She thought it was just something nice for her to do and how to get her feeling revitalised after all the work she does but here she is, standing in Chan's house, surrounded by the people she loves the most.

"You're all here," Irene's voice is shaky, holding Sanie's hand with one hand while tucked into Chris' side. "Thank you for coming, I really appreciate it."

The lights turn off, soft singing starts up thanks to Jangmi and Channie, and that is all it takes for Irene to break down. The tears start to fall as Alice brings the cake and Chris looks down at her with a smile, noticing her crying because she's overwhelmed by happiness. He gives her a gentle squeeze as he chuckles and helps her blow out the candles before she gets tears and snot everywhere. She doesn't care that everyone is having a bit of a laugh at her expense, that they think this is very soft and cute of her, because she loves this very much.

Irene has wanted one thing for a long time, a family dinner. A dinner where she's surrounded by all these people, sharing a meal and having a good night but it always felt a little silly to expect. Demons, werewolves, humans and the like all in one household? Nobody would really think it was possible and yet, here they are. For her.

And she loves them all the more for it.

When everyone had left and Chris starts to pack Irene's presents into the car, leaving little room for poor Spartan, Irene takes his hand and pulls him close. "You did all of this for me?" She asks, hand reaching up to guide him down and bring him close, "I love you. Thank you for bringing everyone here. It made me the happiest I've ever been."

It did. More than those words could ever convey, it really did.

Three Hours For Chicken

Companion to Corea News: Royal Panic! The queen was lost--and found-- in Seoul 

The queen of Corea wants chicken, and she goes after what she wants, even if the chicken is in Seoul and she lives in Busan. 

“Not arrive together anywhere?”

“Queens Day is for the queen. The focus is on her. The king can watch and visit, but everyone is supposed to see the queen, not the king.” 

Seung-ah made notes. Separate cars. No. Separate times of arrival. This wouldn’t be too difficult, just complicated. She had to prepare for two scenarios: if the king followed tradition, and if he dismissed it and escorted the queen everywhere. 

Lady Noh was saying, “Ah my head,” so perhaps the old woman was also thinking the same thing. Their king and queen were the opposite of predictable. 

Seung-ah could soon hand this over to the Royal Household and the logistics would be their problem. She just had to sign off on everything first, with Lady Noh’s advice and approval, because everything about the Queens Day was under the domain of Public Affairs. 

Her note-taking was interrupted by a text message. Only four people were set to come up on her screen with a pop-up.  

Hey Seung-ah. Can you come to the study, please? Conf. 

Tae-eul. The queen. “Conf.” stood for confidential, which meant not to say anything if Seung-ah was with anyone. So she pretended to be preoccupied with the arrangements and bowed to leave Lady Noh. 

It was 7pm. Tae-eul probably wanted to eat together. And probably didn’t want Lady Noh’s currently overzealous guarding of what Tae-eul ate. 

When she arrived at the king’s private study, she found Tae-eul pacing on the rug. 

“Ma-- Tae-eul, what is it?” Seung-ah was still learning to use the queen’s name when they were alone as the queen requested. It helped that Seung-ah now used it in her head when she thought of Tae-eul. “Did you ask for dinner already?” 

“Can we take your car?” 

“What?” 

“I want to eat banban.” 

“Banban?”

“It’s chicken. Half plain. Half seasoned. And a hundred percent making my mouth water.” 

“All right, I’ll ask for--”

“No, we’ll take your car.” 

“Mwo?”

Tae-eul sighed. “I already told Jangmi. Just get your car over here.” Tae-eul pointed outside the French windows. “But don’t say anything. Even to Jangmi if you see him when you get your car.” Tae-eul tapped her ear. 

Mollified that Jangmi knew even if the rest of the Royal Guard wasn’t supposed to, Seung-ah did as she was asked. Then she got a funny feeling in her stomach when the queen came out of the French windows and went to the car at what seemed like a very specific angle from the wall, got in, and promptly laid down in the backseat. 

“What-- what are you doing? Are you feeling ill?”

“Yep. But I’m fine. Just don’t say anything. Jangmi is meeting us there.” 

“Meeting us where?” 

Tae-eul didn’t answer. 

The palace gate staff knew Seung-ah’s cars, knew her face, and let her pass through without inspection. About a hundred meters from the gate, Tae-eul popped up in the backseat like a rabbit nosing the air. 

Seung-ah’s stomach roiled. It was no longer a funny feeling. It was more of a realization now. 

“Tae-eul. Did you use me to sneak out of the palace?” 

“Yes.” 

“Is Jangmi really meeting us?” 

“No.” 

“Does Jangmi really know?”

“No.”

“I’m turning the car.” 

“Oh no, please,” Tae-eul rubbed her hands together in apology and pleading. “I just need some time away. Please? I would have gone with the king, but he’s in Seoul. That’s it. I can meet him there. No harm done.”  

“WHAT?!” Seung-ah shrieked. “We’re going to Seoul?!”  

“Yes.” 

“It’s three hours away by train!”

There was a pause in which Seung-ah’s hope that they weren’t really going to Seoul soared. Then the queen grabbed that hope and tossed it to the ground. “Oh. Right.” 

“What do you mean oh right?! Did you forget the distance to Seoul?!” 

“Calm down. It’s only three hours.” 

Only three hours! Seung-ah wasn’t religious but called out to God just then. She swallowed. Her mouth was dry. She supposed she could clutch at the reasoning that the queen wanted to go to the king.  

“Let me tell Jo Yeo--”

“Later. We’ll tell him later when we get there.” 

“Are you trying to get me killed?”

Tae-eul snickered. “Yeong won’t kill you. He loves you.”

“Stop that! What about the king?” 

“Don’t worry about him.” 

Seung-ah snorted. “At least tell Jangmi then. Have mercy on Jangmi.” 

“He’s fine. He’s asleep. He took medicine for his toothache.” 

Seung-ah groaned. 

“I’m sorry. I just… I need to go to Seoul. The chicken place at Misa Lake Park.” 

Seung-ah groaned again. All right. She would tell Yeong when they arrived in Seoul or way sooner than that. Hopefully, the king and queen’s room remained undisturbed by palace staff or Jangmi stayed asleep, whichever would get them past this with the least fuss. 

She looked at Tae-eul through the rearview mirror. The queen wore a Nova Shirt, a Cabello pullover, and a Harris Tweed wool blazer Seung-ah loved. The total cost of the ensemble was over a million won, not counting the jeans and shoes. Not the cheapest in the queen’s wardrobe, but not that expensive either. Not by Seung-ah’s standards. And the queen looked deceptively casual, so they could probably get on the train without attracting attention. 

Tae-eul chose that moment to squeeze her way to the passenger seat through the center console and Seung-ah concentrated on not killing them both and not cursing out her queen. Seriously. 

Tae-eul settled in with her seatbelt on and Seung-ah took deep breaths. 

Then Tae-eul turned to her and said, “So what are we talking about on the three hours on the train? Did you and Yeong go past any bases yet?”

Seung-ah stopped breathing. She felt her face go searing hot. “Stop that. Let me drive. Maybe you should get back to the back seat. But I’ll stop the car so you can get in there using the door like a normal person.” 

Tae-eul just flapped her hand in dismissal. “Do you know Yeong is ticklish in his ankles?” 

“Mwo?” She was saying that so much tonight. 

Tae-eul laughed. “Yeah. I saw it at the gym. They were doing judo and Jangmi was about to grab Yeong’s ankles but Yeong dodged--danced away, really. That was weird. So I whispered to Jangmi to keep going for Yeong’s ankles, and I told him to touch it, not grab it.” Tae-eul curled in on herself, giggling. “I’ll show you the video later. I think getting kicked in the face is why Jangmi has a toothache.” 

Seung-ah laughed despite her nerves at this insanity she was currently dragged into. The queen’s laughter was infectious like that. Yeong was ticklish in the ankle. Hmmm. But poor Jangmi was kicked in the face. “Poor Jangmi.”

“I know, I’ll make it up to him.” 

To Seung-ah’s horror, tears spilled from Tae-eul’s eyes. 

Shit. What the hell. So she said, “Yeong likes to be kissed on the neck.” 

Tae-eul wiped her eyes and perked up. “Really?” 

Seung-ah was relieved. She grinned. “Yeah. He sorta shivers and goes soft in my arms when I do that.” 

“Awwww.” 

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

“Status.” 

“Good and quiet here, Captain.” 

“You sure?” 

“Her Majesty is in her bedroom. Lady Noh is in hers. Time is 2100. I’ll update you again at 2200.” 

“All right.” 

Captain Jo hung up and Jangmi sighed in relief. But his cheek felt like it still had a phone against it. Oh man, it was swollen. Wasn’t the medicine supposed to be anti-inflammatory? 

He rooted through his medicine bag for other meds. What he took earlier had stopped the pain and knocked him out but apparently wasn’t good for much else. 

When he turned back around to face his bedroom’s bank of monitors that came with being Unbreakable Sword to the queen, a court maid was waving to the camera. 

Jangmi swallowed his new pill dry and flew out of his room. 

He got there in under a minute but the court maid had already multiplied into three and Lady Noh was there. 

“What is it?” Without waiting for an answer, he entered the king and queen’s chamber. No queen. Ahhh shit fuck balls. 

“Is the queen in the kitchen?” he asked the maids. They shook their heads. 

Lady Noh said, “I already called the Control Tower. Her Majesty isn’t in the palace and the grounds. She was seen going to the study a little before seven, and then Seung-ah went there as well. Could they have been together? But Seung-ah was seen going home alone.” 

He dialed Seung-ah’s number. She didn’t answer. Probably asleep. Shit. He called another number. “Go to Myeong Seung-ah’s house then call me when you have her.” 

With a cold pit in his stomach, he called the captain next. 

“Captain. I don’t have the queen. We haven’t had eyes on her since seven. We’re retrieving Myeong Seung-ah. She’s the last to have seen her.” 

The captain was quiet for three seconds. Jangmi didn’t breathe. Then Captain Jo Yeong spoke in his quietest, sternest voice. “I’ll try to get Seung-ah on the phone and let you know. Do your job. There’s protocol.” 

“Yes, sir.” 

Jangmi made a gesture for the maids to leave, and Lady Noh swept them away. Jangmi dialed 8877. The voice on the line only said, “Yes?” 

“Crimson Pheasant. Two hours. Myeong Seung-ah, Royal Public Affairs Office.” 

“Confirming receipt.” The line went dead. 

He hoped Seung-ah wasn’t in the bath or anything, because as the last person to have seen the queen, the Royal Guard and the Corean Armed Forces were about to break down her door. 

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

“I should tell Yeong now. Look, Jangmi and Yeong both called and you didn’t let me answer it.”

“Sure, go ahead. I don’t want them to worry.” 

Seung-ah stared at Tae-eul. “I know you’re my queen but you’re an idiot right now. If you didn’t want them to worry, you shouldn’t have gone to Seoul in the first place.” 

Tae-eul didn’t reply. The server had arrived just then, so Tae-eul only probably heard, “Here’s your chicken.” Seung-ah rolled her eyes and sent a quick text to Yeong. 

And then, because Seung-ah had been hungry for dinner since six pm, and the chicken was right there all beautifully golden, she also ate her share of the fricken chicken. Could be her fricken last meal, anyway. 

There was a loud hum outside, overhead, and then a whoosh and thunderclap that had nothing to do with the clear skies. She had an idea what that was. Yep. Probably her last meal. 

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

Gon was a little surprised that he actually managed not to panic. He was getting better. His life with Tae-eul wouldn’t be quiet, but it wouldn’t be doomed either. He had an assurance about that, and he was getting better in his faith and trust in that assurance.  

Jangmi had arrived by chopper, and he hadn’t straightened since. He was still bent at the waist, reporting to Gon. 

“Her Majesty had a headache so she went to bed around three pm. We didn’t disturb her. She hadn’t come out until 6:42pm when she was seen going to the study. We can’t reach her because she left her phone on her bed. We couldn’t reach Myeong Seung-ah either and she’s not home.” 

“Jangmi, please straighten up. I’m not blaming you. She probably went somewhere with Seung-ah. You need to add another camera in the patio of my study. There’s a blind spot.” 

Yeong looked at him. Yeong knew Gon had used that blind spot before. Before Gon could call out Yeong for glaring at him, Jangmi straightened and Gon recoiled at the sight of his face. “What happened to you? Did the queen do that to you?” 

At the same time, Yeong said, “Did I do that to you?”

“No, no, Captain, you kicked me here.” Jangmi touched the opposite cheek. The one that wasn’t twice its size. Then he touched the swollen cheek gingerly. “This is a toothache.” 

Gon was torn between amusement and sympathy. He turned his snort of laughter into a grimace. He was about to ask if Jangmi had taken medicine when Yeong made one of those showy, smooth movements, taking his phone out of his coat pocket and checking it. 

“Pyeha. We have the queen. She’s with Seung-ah. They’re at Chika Chika by Misa Lake Park. The car is ready.”

Gon sighed in relief and exasperation. Chika Chika. As in chicken. Misa Lake Park, as in Hanam-si. Tae-eul went to Seoul for chicken? “You two. With me. Now. The others can follow.” 

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

Chika Chika was deserted, thankfully. Not that Gon wouldn’t have gone in even if it was full of customers. He saw Tae-eul from the tall windows, and saw her see him and her face soften in greeting and happiness at seeing him. 

He would never get tired of that. If he had felt any anger at all, which he hadn’t--not really-- it would have evaporated right then. He was standing by her table in a few strides. Seung-ah looked at him pleadingly, so he smiled at her in assurance. The poor woman sagged in relief. She deserved a raise. 

“Are you done eating?” he asked Tae-eul. 

Tae-eul wiped her mouth, drank water, and then got up in a too-bouncy way that made him wince. But she was fine. She was fine. He took her hand and he let her pull him to the railing by the lakeside. He saw Yeong and Jangmi on their phones coordinating with everyone. 

They deserved a raise, too. Though he had made certain years ago that the Royal Guard would be rolling in money so they couldn’t be bought. Maybe he could give them something else. 

They arrived at the railing and he watched Tae-eul take deep breaths of the night air. 

“Pyeha. Mama.” 

They turned to Seung-ah. She was holding her phone up. “Let’s do this. For something sweet in the morning. People were asleep in their beds, you know.” 

He saw Tae-eul smile so he smiled and that was the photo done. Seung-ah left them alone. He put his arm around Tae-eul and felt his smile grow when she leaned into his side. 

“I’m sorry.” 

“You don’t look that much sorry.”

She smiled wider. “The banban was really good.”

“Yeah? You didn’t even get me takeaway.” 

“I forgot, I’m sorry.” 

“Did you really forget the distance between Busan and Seoul?” 

“Did the air force really fire warning shots?”

He pressed his lips together and looked at her as sternly as he could, when he knew his eyes were soft for her, this side of her he was seeing for the first time. 

She laughingly sighed. “I knew I was in Busan but I also thought I was in Seoul, that driving here would only take about 10 to 20 minutes. Can you believe it?” 

“I can believe it. They say that happens.” 

“It’s crazy. You should have seen Seung-ah’s face.” Tae-eul laughed. Gon couldn’t help grinning back. He loved that she was happy. She looked so beautiful when she laughed or smiled this way. 

He tightened his arm around her. “I was already on my way back to you. You just beat me here.” 

“I didn’t come for you. I came for the chicken.” 

They laughed. 

“You’re insane. Are you all right now?” 

She snuggled against him, nodded, and squeezed his waist. “Let’s go home. I want to go to bed.” 

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

“Crimson Pheasant Code Green. 2300. Pheasant and Dragon taking off for Busan 2300.”

Jangmi hung up with the Royal Armed Forces palace switchboard and nodded at Yeong. That was the end of it. Yeong nodded back. “You need to get to a dentist, hoobae.” 

“They can’t do anything until that swelling goes down anyway,” said Seung-ah, joining them on the bench. “Try this, Jangmi.” She rummaged in her purse and gave Jangmi a whole bottle of pills. 

“You have that in your purse?” Yeong asked dubiously. 

“Of course.” 

“You all right?”

“Yeah. I’ve had time to recover. The worst was when I realized the queen intended to go to Seoul and we were already outside the palace.” 

“I think we need to get more of that chicken,” Jangmi said. 

“What’s the difference between that chicken and the chicken in Busan and in the palace?” Yeong asked, truly mystified. 

Seung-ah tilted her head in that way she did when she was thinking or about to make an observation. She had no idea Yeong tilted her head that exact same way when he kissed her. 

“I think there’s a hint of some sort of caramel in the coating. Then it opens up to this--” 

“OH!”  

Yeong and Seung-ah both jumped at Jangmi’s exclamation. 

“Oh no. Noona. They probably broke down your door.”

“MWO?!”

[wnderlandreplies]

Jangmi keeps him close, not wanting to let him go even as she parts slightly for air. It started out innocent but the poor fox can't help how excited she got even as she tries to control herself - she's not one to start things, always too nervous to so instead, she settles for kisses. "Good," she smiles against Minki's lips as she kisses him once more, nipping on his bottom lip softly and giggling. "The doctor said that I'll live a long and happy life with you by my side forever and ever." Her fingers play with the hair on the back of his neck, giving them a soft tug before looking at him with soft, pleading eyes. She knows that Minki won't leave her, he's promised her as much just like she's promised him the same but she has to hear the words as if they would solidify such a thing. "I love you," she says softly, pulling him back to her so their lips can touch again. "Mine. My hot doctor boyfriend~."

wnderlandreplies​:

Jangmi knows that she should lower her legs but she didn’t want him to move away any more than he already had. Her eyes follow his movements and when he speaks, she tries her best to keep herself in check, playing along even though all she wanted was to have him close again. “Love sickness?” She pouts cutely and looks down at Minki’s hand before placing her own over top of it. Listening carefully to what her ‘doctor’ is telling her, Jangmi looks at Minki with soft, pleading eyes. “So as long as he stays by my side, everything will be okay?” She hums and tightens her hold on his hand. “You’ll stay, right?” Her voice is so gentle, almost a whisper as her other hand reaches for him and touches his cheek. Even though she’s feeling rather shy, she does her best to keep composed, enjoying their playful roleplay. Jangmi guides Minki’s face closer to hers, a blush on her cheek and racing heart showing that she’s a lot shier than what she’s trying to show. “The doctor said I need you to stay with me to make sure I live a long and happy life.”

Minki’s eyes stayed fixed on Jangmi’s face because he didn’t want to miss just a second of her reactions. They were too cute for words and they made his heart beat even faster for her than it already did. He bit his lower lip to keep the chuckle in that tried to escape as he saw her cute pout, trying to stay in the role the best he could. “Yes, the love sickness and it’s a very serious case as far as I can see.” The young male said, trying his best to look serious, but in the end his lips curved up into a smile again. “But yes as long as he stays by your side you will be able to live a very long and very happy life.” He added and squeezed his girlfriend’s legs that were still wrapped around him without being really aware of it.

The idol blinked slightly in surprised as Jangmi switched up her little roleplay, but just a moment later a warm chuckle came from him. He was more confident in the role of the boyfriend anyways so he just went along with it. “I will stay by your side forever if you allow me to.” He said, briefly glancing at her hand on top of his, feeling his heart ache for her. He locked eyes with her again as her hand touched his cheek. He could feel some faint warmth in his cheeks because of what she was doing, but he was very happy and it showed in his smile and in his eyes, the way he was looking at her.

Minki allowed his girlfriend to pull his face closer to her, the smile staying on his lips because he could imagine how shy she must been feeling. “I will stay by your side to make sure you will be happy for years and years to come.” He whispered while allowing his eyes to close. Then he simply leaned in and touched her lips with his, pouring all his love for her in the kiss as he pulled her a bit closer if it was possible.

Spoiler: She sucks at Finance

Words: 1.7k

AN: Requests are OPEN: I spent all night writing this because i didn’t want to study for my exams. SMH

Jangmi’s Masterlist

“Today, the topic is…” Seungkwan paused for dramatic effect. “Stocks.”

Jangmi’s jaw dropped.

“This is your worst nightmare.” Dino laughed whilst smacking her shoulders simultaneously.

“Yah! Jangmi looks traumatised.”

“She’d already wondering when shooting will end.”

“Jangmi-shi. Aren’t you doing a commerce degree?” Seungkwan asked inquisitively, despite knowing very well she was.

She bit her lip and nodded, avoiding Seungkwan and the barrage of camera’s behind him.

“I know you love finance, considering you’ve done it every year in your degree.” Seungkwan sarcastically continued.

Jangmi glared at him. “You’re making it seem like I willing spent the last 3 years learning this nonsense.”

“Well 3 years of knowledge means you should know this more than me. You should teach everyone about shares instead.” Seungkwan beckoned for her to come to the front of the room where he was.

She shook her head. “No. No.” She insisted. “Really you can do it.”

Jeonghan stood up and signalled for her to move forward. “Teach us what you learned.” Seungcheol also standing up to join him.

“I really don’t want to guys. It’s really ok. Boo can do it.” Her protests were ignored as Josh tilted her seat forward, so she was forced to stand.

Seungkwan had already met her at her seat, and passed the cue cards to her. “Hwaiting!” He whispered, throwing his fists in the air.

She rolled her eyes and walked up to the clear whiteboard.

“Firstly, stuff you guys.” She announced, before unbuttoning the top button of her shirt.

“Right… Uhh…” She quickly scanned through the first cue card, trying to understand the jist of the writing.

“This is literally her nightmare. Reading Korean and finance.” Jihoon informed.

“Alrightly.” Jangmi said in English, before shuffling the cards with her knee so that they were nicely and evenly organised. “Under your chairs are some pens and paper. Take notes because I’m doing to teach you about shares.”

“That’s not what’s on the cuecard!” Seungkwan protested. “If you’re going to MC, you need to read it word for word.”

“That’s boring.” She counteracted. “That’s why ‘Seungkwan’s Past Life’ or whatever it was called, never did a season 2.”

The members hollered at Jangmi’s roast, whilst Seungkwan muttered something about her being an ungrateful maknae.

“Anway.” Jangmi continued. “I’m going to say a bunch of finance-y terms and you’re going to tell me what they mean.”

She cleared her throat.

“What is ‘ju-ga’?”

“The value of the stock.”

“Good stuff Jeonghan hyung! You get a sticker!” Jangmi smiled, before looking over at the staff.

“We don’t have stickers.”

“What do you mean you don’t have stickers?” Jangmi furrowed her eyebrows before turning back to the members.

“We don’t have stickers. But just having the satisfaction that you know finance is reward enough.”

“I’m definitely not answering any now.” Jun quipped.

“Not like you knew any before,” Jangmi deadpanned before clearing her throat.

“Does anyone want to listen out any terms they know?.”

The members, mainly Mingyu and Seungcheol took the floor listening out more terms and words that she had never heard of.

“Poor Jangmi.” DK laughed. “She looks like a fish out of water.”

“Even after doing finance for 3 years.” Minghao added.

“it’s because it’s in Korean.” Jangmi whined, dragging out the last syllable. “I learnt it in English.”

“Did you even really learn it?”

She glared at Mingyu. “Fuck off.” Her eyes widened at her realised mistake. “I mean… Get out!.”

“Good save. Good save.” Woozi clapped his hands, giving her a proud nod. She returned back a small smile. At least it wasn’t live. The editors could cut it out.

“Does anyone know what jeong-chal-byeong (정찰병) is?” She asked, slowing down the speed of her question so she had enough time to pronounce the new word correctly.

“What’s jeong-chal-byeong?” DK repeated her question, with the correct pronounciation.

“Is it when you first test out where stock prices are headed?” Mingyu asked back at her.

Jangmi quickly skim read the answer on the cue card again. “I think so?” She replied, in a perplexed tone.

“She doesn’t know. She doesn’t know.” Woozi repeated while laughing.

“Put the poor girl out of her misery and take over again.” Minghao suggested, turning around to face Seungkwan

“No. No. Jangmi’s doing great.” Hoshi objected, turning his body back around so he was completely facing Jangmi. “Hwaiting!”

“No. No. It’s ok.” Jangmi jumped at the opportunity to return to the back of the classroom (?) and zone out for a little bit. “Seungkwan can probably explain these better than me.”

Seungkwan didn’t need to be asked twice, as he bounded up from his chair and skipped his way back to the front.

“Very professional.” Dino sarcastically commented, brushing the dust (?) off his pants.

Seungkwan glared at him, before grabbing the cue cards form Jangmi.

“What is ‘Son-Jeol’?” He asked, instantly taking over as the MC.

Jangmi quickly hurried off to the side, before walking back to her seat.

“It's what Seungkwan wants to do with Dino!” Woozi eagerly answered, nearly jumping out of his seat.

“It’s what Woozi wants to do to Jangmi every time we record a new song.” DK added, laughing along.

Dino lowered his head, and brought it closer to Jangmi’s ears. “Why are we always getting attacked?”

“I wish I could I give you an answer.” She replied, before glancing over at the members falling on the floor laughing at the joke. “Idiots.”

Jangmi zoned out for the rest of the explanations, instead opting to make doodles all over her notepad. She was jolted back to reality when Dino elbowed her in the ribs.

“What.” She hissed.

“Listen the games started.”

“Wait. What.” She sat upright and whispered, “I wasn’t listening.”

“Just choose 2 companies each round you want to invest in.”

“I’m just going to copy you.”

And that was probably the 2nd worst decision she had every made in Going Seventeen. Because trusting Dino. Well that never works out. And this was a prime example. She came equal last. LAST. A commerce student coming last. Only because she followed her stupid sidekick. Actually mortifying. For her at least. For the others. Peak comedy.

“I was only meant to announce first and second, but I really want to tell you all who came last.” Seungkwan started, which an evil glint in his eyes.

“It was Seungcheol wasn’t it?” Jeonghan asked, getting a slap from the leader.

“Congratulations…. Our very precious twin maknaes.” Seungkwan announced.

The members all stood up and clapped for them, Hoshi running over to give them both a hug.

“Our precious performance team. Oh! You babies have worked so hard.” He fake cried while pinching their cheeks.

Jangmi swatted his hand away, before glaring at him.

“And just like that, the former MC has fallen off the rails.” Seungkwan solemnly announced.

“Cheer up Jangmi.” Wonwoo cheered.

“You’re used to failing finance.” Mingyu added.

“Third time round shouldn’t hurt that bad right?”

“Soonyoung!” Jangmi yelled. “You can’t tell everyone I failed 2 times.” She pouted, crossing her arms as she fell back into her chair.

Dino put his arm over her shoulder. “At least we lost together.”

“Eww! Even worse.” She fake cried as she moved her chair away from him.

“Anyway.” Seungkwan tried breaking up the fight between the maknaes. “Jun, you won Scissors, Paper, Rock, so you can pick first.”

And so the picking began. Both Jun and Mingyu choosing members for their teams.

“Don’t bother acting cute- they’re not going to pick you.” Dino advised.

Jangmi huffed. “Please. They’re definitely going to pick me over some of the others. I’m about to graduate with a commerce degree. How is Woozi’s KPOP degree even going to help? Better yet, Vernon’s middle school one?”

“Oh yeah. My bad.” Dino sarcastically apologised. “Why wouldn’t anyone want to pick someone who failed finance twice and got the lowest score in the game we just played.”

“I copied you!” Jangmi yelled.

“Well in that case.” Dino quickly scribbled something on a piece of paper, before standing up boldly. “Jun-rang-hae.”

“He’s not going to pick you.”

“It’s either you or him.” Seungkwan said, causing Jangmi to jolt out of her chair.

“What about the others?”

“You clearly weren’t paying attention.” Seungkwan chuckled. “They’ve all been picked.”

“But what about Vernon?” Jangmi asked, pointing to her right.

“He’s with us.” Woozi answered.

Jangmi turned towards the team captains. “Vernon got picked before me?” She asked, shocked at being ranked in the same tier as Dino.

“You did come last though.” Mingyu answered.

“I’m a Commerce student though.” She whined, before stomping her feet to the front.

She clasped her hands together and fell to the floor. “One of you please pick me. I beg. Dino’s ego will be inflated if he’s chosen before me. Please.” She shook her hands back and forth, looking into the leaders’ eyes.

Dino ran to the front and joined her on the ground, kneeling in front of Jun . “Jun hyung. Pick me. We’re on the performance team together-“

“Aren’t you both of the performance team together?” Seungkwan interrupted.

“Hyung. Please. I want to be with you. I haven’t failed finance. Numerous times.” Jangmi scowled. “I’ll make you win. I’ll work so hard. I won’t lose.”

“We don’t even know the game rules dummy” Jangmi fired from beside him.

“See. You don’t want that negative energy on your team.”

“Have you made your decision?” Seungkwan asked, tapping Jun on the shoulder.

“Paper, Scissors, Rock?” Jun asked, with Mingyu agreeing.

Jangmi sighed. “Are we really that bad?”

“You know other groups respect and coddle their maknae.”

“Dino-yah!” Jeonghan replied. “We teach you for the real world.”

“Wait!” Jangmi stood up. “Who does the winner get.”

“Me!” Dino screamed, as he jumped on the spot. The members around him covering their ears due to his scream.

Both leaders played one round and it was decided that Dino would be on Jun’s team- meaning Jangmi would be under the leadership of Mingyu.

“Wait.” Seungkwan nervously chuckled, as the two group separated. “You have both Seungcheol and Jeonghan hyung, and we have someone who couldn’t even pass first year finance?”

“Twice” Dino added from the other team’s huddle, pointing two fingers towards Seungkwan to emphasise her failings.

“Don’t worry.” Hoshi smiled, whilst linking arms with her and DK. “We’ll smash them.”

“For sure.” Jangmi giggled. “They might have Jeongcheol but we have Minwon.”

“The superior ship.” Mingyu added, before delving back into his intellectual discussion with the others over strategy.

“We should probably listen, right?” She asked the later two thirds of BookSeokSoon.

“Nah.” Hoshi laughed. “Too much brain power.”

The King: Eternal Monarch

Lee Min-ho as Lee Gon Kim Go Eun as Jeong Tae-eul /  Luna Woo Do-Hwan as Jo Eun-seop / Jo Yeong Kim Kyung-nam as Kang Shin-Jae Jung Eun-Chae as Goo Se-ryeong Kim Yong-ji as Myeong Na-ri Lee Jung Jin as Lee Rim Kim Young-ok as Noh Ok-Nam Lee Hong-nae as Seok Ho-pil Kang Hong-seok as Jangmi

The King: Eternal Monarch is a story about a parallel world. Set in both Republic of Korea and Kingdom of Corea. Kingdom of Corea is like the alternative timeline where Korea is never successfully conquered by Japan and the country was never separated into two. The story starts on a flashback from the night of the treason in 1994. The traitor Lee Lim wants to obtain the magic flute named Manpasikjeok so he organized a coup. For him, the manpasikjeok and the throne was rightfully his. Him and his followers successfully killed the current king. Lee Lim gets to hold the flute but it was cut into two by the crowned prince Lee Gon. Lim was about to kill Lee Gon when he was stopped by a mysterious man dressed in black. The mysterious man successfully saved Lee Gon but he left an ID card. Lee Lim was declared dead in the Kingdom of Corea but he found a way to the Republic of Korea. He killed his other self and his other self's family. He hides on the other world while gaining his followers. Years later, they showed a playful but smart king in his thirties. Lee Gon grew up well with his uncle and court lady Noh on his side. Plus, he's well protected by his unbreakable sword aka Jo Yeong. Gon's motivation is Lt. Jeong Tae-eul id card. Court Lady Noh wants him to marry or find a girl already that's why she's setting up a talisman's card in his room. True enough he found a girl, on the other world. Thank God that Lee Gon is smart enough that he figured it out that he's in the other world but poor him because no one is believing him there.

This show is complex from start to end. I really like the idea of parallel universe and what ifs. They set the parallel world thinking what if their country is never conquered at all. But I must admit that this drama is not for everyone. The pacing is slow and some concepts are hard to comprehend. Nevertheless, I still love it. Tho, I didn't like the product placement. They are not subtle on showing it on the camera. Furtheremore, some cgi/green screen is not made well but it is  kinda understandable. For me, they build up the story quite right. The plot twist is properly showed on the right time plus I really like how they hang the ending in every episode. Then, they will show it on different shots on the next episode. I also love how they differentiate the two person with safe faces. They emphasize that even though you have the same face, you will never be the same person. They have their own personalities and not just a copy of their other self. They also showed the differences in lives of the characters between the two worlds. Like the other one is having a good family and the other one is none at all. Or like Lee Gon is rich and king and close to his father but his other self is not. Lee Ji Hun is close to his uncle and poor. But still, they will both have the similarities aside from their faces as they both ended up in the military. Like Jeong Tae-eul and Luna both ended up becoming a cop.

One of the highlight of this drama is Woo Do Hwan. He perfectly portrayed Jo Yeong and Jo Eunseup. Like he can differentiate both. Yeong is stoic but he you can see that he really cares then there's the comedic Eun Seup. I admit he have a chemistry with himself. Jo Yeong and Jo Eun seup is the example of the parallel characters that can be friends (somehow they even consider theirselves as brothers) and having no intention to kill one another. Woo Do Hwan nailed his acting in this drama.

Jo Yeong as Jo Eun Seup:

-There's an episode when Lee Gon wants to eat but instead they encountered a group of gangsters. Jo Yeong came to the rescue but Jo Eun Seup's seniors saw him. He immediately copied Eun Seup's accent but not to the extend of being Eun Seup. Like you can really tell that it is still Jo Yeong.  Plus, his chemistry with the twins. He grew fond of them.

Jo Eun Seup as Jo Yeong:

-Woo Do Hwan nailed Jo Yeong serious self (like he's fine af with that hair and suit). But when he was Jo Eun Seup acting as Jo Yeong, everything he did was comedic. Like when he tried to pull out his gun or when his saying "Yes, your majesty" acting serious but not to the point of being Yeong. Like he's being Eun Seup in Yeong's clothes.

Both of them become Lee Gon's unbreakble sword. Both loyal and both willing to sacrifice their lives.

VISUALS:

One of my fave scene is when he announced that Tae-eul will be the queen and they need to protect her!

The ending for me is perfect. The second lead man ended up (in terms of pairing) with the female lead's other self. I think they kinda hint it when Luna kissed Shin-Jae. Plus Luna is adopted by Goo Seryeong's mom and she did have her own name this time(Koo Seo-gyeong). Seryeong's in jail for all the bad deeds she did. Lee Ji Hun is alive and became part of the navy. The real Shin Jae grew up well and became a ceo(?) while Eun Seup marries Nari. Jeong Tae-Eul cannot be the queen because Luna is still existing in Kingdom of Corea. But I think she will still marry Gon and have that weekend trips with him. Gon will not worry about a successor because his cousin (the good one) will be the next in line. Also, eventhough only three of them knows what happened (Yeong, Gon and Tae-eul) it was still ok. It was actually a fine ending for me. I really enjoyed it but again, its not that type of drama that everyone will like. It really depends on the viewer and its fine if you didn't like it. And this show is not as bad as the others says. Because in 2020, I read a lot of bad reviews about this drama so I have zero hope when I started this out. But it turns out fine. Not the best but not THAT bad.

meesranks oc reference

like i said in the tags of my last ficlet, this is a list of my sranks OCs because i've made a bunch and i'm starting to lose track of them lmao

Shin Taemin (신태민)

short brown hair, brown eyes, broad build, heavily freckled face and shoulders, constant mischievous curl at the corners of his mouth

one of Han Yoojin's pre-regression teammates. one year older than him

oranges were his favorite fruit but he was total garbage at peeling them. this extends to all cooking, everything he makes comes out pixelated. as zmur says "useless in the kitchen"

good with management roles; when he was working alongside Yoojin, he used to do the team's accounting and Yoojin would do the people stuff for as long as they didn't recognize him; once they did, Taemin would switch out with him

his parents were out of the picture a long time ago; he and his younger sister, Sunhi, grew up with their harsh grandmother. was working to get an apartment for himself and Sunhi so that they could move away from said grandmother

died, aged 29, in an unfortunate dungeon accident right after they moved out. who knows what happened to Sunhi after that.

friendly and a bit boisterous but a bit rough around the edges (think a large, over-energetic dog). gets annoyed/angry easily and WILL pick unwise fights. doesn't like arguing with people he cares about, though, so he just clams up and gets upset

vexed and disturbed by Yoohyun's Black Blood Flames ability. blood isn't supposed to do all that

made of stern stuff, though she's very weak to family members

likes apples more than oranges

no kids of her own, but she's quick to grow fond of younger people and mother them

adores both Yoojin and Choi Yumi, thinks they're both very good, hardworking kids, proud of them for taking responsibility for their siblings

despite Shin Taemin meeting all of the above standards as well, she does NOT get along with him easily lol. they're always arguing about something or the other. they care for each other very strongly though (mother-son sort of relationship), and the two of them might be closer than Ki Migyeong is with any of the other kids

strongly respects Song Taewon though she thinks he's a bit too uptight

is disdainful towards Han Yoohyun

polite and decent-ish at reigning in negative feelings towards people

features in: secret haunting AU, sixth sense AU

Lee Yoonji (이윤지) and Minho (이민호), the Lee twins

employees of Haeyeon Guild's HR department, working as Seok Simyeong's assistants

not actual blood siblings, let alone twins. their parents were longtime friends, and Yoonji/Minho themselves were born like a week or two apart. that combined with their startlingly similar personalities and interests meant everyone calls them twins. they do treat each other as siblings so they don't mind

both very tall, very cool, very attractive, straightforward and can be a little aggressive. used to be the intimidating power "couple" of their high school, which they found really funny because like. yeah they're cool and composed and intimidating but like. they're nerds. one time Minho ate Yoonji's yogurt and she was going to chase him and kill him for it but she fell down the stairs. he bought her ice cream in apology and got a popsicle for himself too but he dropped it on his shirt. clown behavior

Jeong Jaeseok (정재석): a loud, somewhat-manic punk in both appearance and behavior. highly emotional, and swaps between moods in a heartbeat. calls HYJ hyung-nim and respects him deeply. childhood friends with Yeonseok; because of that, he's more patient than he looks. a melee-focused Combat hunter

Moon Yeonseok (문연석): an anxious young man, smarter than he lets on. has an excellent memory but tends to second-guess himself. gets cold really easily and tends to dress warm, always wearing a thick scarf that Jaeseok got him. bites his nails a lot. childhood friends with Jaeseok, and the most comfortable around him. appreciates HYJ's reassuring presence. a Combat mage

Cho Wonwoo (초원우): a laid-back young man, using his time at college to break free of the suffocating pressure and restrictions placed on him by his parents. friendly and agreeable and a little gentler on easily-ruffled feathers like Yeonseok's, but also very particular about doing things Right. (maybe he hasn't broken that free, after all…) enjoys dancing and singing. he isn't the most academically inclined; relies on Soojin's tutoring a fair amount. lived quite close to Choi Yumi's house, though they never interacted.

IN THE NIGHT

— in which sera finds something new to entertain her

characters / sera park, ahn insung, mentions of the black rose girls, johnny suh and kim jongin

words / 4.1k

warnings / sexual content, they fuck in his car basically, smoking cigarettes, smoking weed, crying, small mention of blood — if i missed anything please let me know!

Sera knows exactly why her feet dragged her to the club on this particular night. It was a Thursday and as far as she knew Insung would be outside on the steps, chatting up random girls and finding unsuspecting club-goers to become his customers. It would only be her fourth time coming there and her third seeing him, she’d grown rather fond of both during her visits.

She lied to her group mates when she said she was going out to get some fresh air and she lied to herself when she said she was going to the club only to find a good time. Sera could go inside, drink something overpriced and get hit on by several guys but she’s already decided she was going to bother Insung if she caught him.

The familiar dark blue neon lights came into view as she rounded the street corner to find the hidden club. She liked that she had to look for the place, it was far away from everything else, just enough that she could escape to it whenever she wanted. And just as she suspected there was Insung sitting at the foot of the metal staircase looking out onto the road as if he were waiting for someone.

They quickly caught each other’s eyes, the older man standing up to greet Sera. His black hair shined blue under the light of the club doors and his hands were adorned with shiny silver rings on almost every finger. He was far from ugly and that’s one of the first things that grabbed her attention when she had first met him.

“Princess, it’s nice to see you here again.” His words are not without a simple smirk, one that typically graced his face.

Sera rolled her eyes, she knows by now not to take his compliments and nicknames seriously. If she had a dollar for everytime she’d heard him say that to every other girl who came to him, she’d be rich.

“What brings you here on a night like this?”

It hadn’t been a particularly interesting week, having been off schedule for weeks now ever since the accident, the dorms had been tense and she was sick of hearing the same fight between Hyebin and Jangmi every night. Sera was simply bored with her life right now, she needed stimulation and of course she knew where to get it.

“Would you believe me if I said I wanted to see you?” She fluttered her eyelashes at him. She knows he’s definitely not one to fall for flattery but Sera also knew how to work it on him, it was like she was his soft spot. Even if she wasn’t, she wanted to be and was more than determined to make him like her just a little bit more than his other clients.

“You’re bullshitting me.” It was his turn to roll his eyes, crossing his arms and leaning ever so slightly over her.

“How could you know that?” She chose to smile at him coyly.

“Well darling, come have a smoke with me, I promise I won’t tell anyone.” There it is, she’s got him.

“Don’t mind if I do.”

She followed him across the street and far down the empty road towards his car. He always parked his car far away from the club, she figured there was a reason behind it but she never felt like pressing him for answers.

The car itself was something she enjoyed, despite this being her first ever time inside it. Something felt different on the inside, it was a space only the two of them shared, the real world only a couple of centimetres away behind the darkened glass of his windows.

Sera made sure to roll the windows down before lighting up, he told her he doesn’t care about the smell but she still does it anyway. She prefers seeing the clouds of smoke from the cigarettes waft out into the air rather than having it dissipate weakly within the confines of the car.

Few words are exchanged between them, she and Insung don’t really have much to say to each other. They only shared a couple things in common, those things being the club and drugs. She reckons that’s not really enough to hold on to, not that she would ever admit to wanting more from Insung, she just hates that once the cigarette burns out they’ll go back to being practically strangers again.

She wanted – no – needed him to like her. It’s simple to her really, all love has an expiry date on it so why not make the most out of it with whoever you can, he just happened to be the physically closest person to her right now. She doesn’t need him to fall in love with her, she’s not asking much from him.

Her father always told her never to care about other people’s opinions on her, he always wanted her to grow up strong and independent. Sera thinks about his old sayings whenever she was in a position of desperation, it’s a shame she never really grew into the girl he wanted her to be. She missed him, she’ll probably call him when she gets back to the dorms, after all it is only eight in the morning back home.

“Insung.” Sera turned to the man sitting in the driver’s seat beside her.

“Yes, princess.” He still had some of his cigarette left, only a little, their time together was almost up.

Sera had finished hers first, flicking it into his makeshift water bottle ashtray a couple minutes before. “Why do you call me princess?”

Insung was silent for a moment, inhaling another breath of smoke before turning to Sera. The corners of his mouth twisted up, a genuine smile from the man, that’s something she never thought she’d see.

“Because you are one,” he chuckled, “I don’t treat all my customers the same if that’s what you’re worried about.”

She smiled at the thought, she was cracking him, slowly but surely.

Sera rolled her window back up, it was just them now. Her eyes surveyed Insung, looking at him up and down as though she were searching for something. She leaned forward and with her hand resting delicately on the wheel she kissed him.

He didn’t taste sweet, not like Jongin used to, no he didn’t taste of anything. All that she could sense off of him was the smell of nicotine hanging off of his lips and hands.

“Hmm that’s how you wanna play, what do you want here Sera? Low prices, a free hit?” She couldn’t read him, he was smiling at her but his tone was more neutral than anything else.

She looked down to his lips and then back into his eyes, that always worked, “I want you.”

He kissed her this time, smashing their lips together at a pace a lot faster than she had expected from him. His hand fell over her nape to pull her closer to him, “Then show me.”

Sera gave him a devilish grin, getting closer to what she wanted. She threw her leg over his body and dragged herself from her seat to sit lightly on top of his thighs.

His kisses were either chaste and quick or wet and slippery, she doesn’t know which one she prefers but it’s nice to have someone on her lips again. The feeling of his hands gripping at her thighs and hips could send her to heaven, the cold metal of his rings clashing against her hot skin. Sera hoped that when she woke up in the morning it would leave pretty bruising for her to stare at in the mirror, a little memory that someone felt something for her.

She grabbed at her t-shirt and lifted it away from her jeans, unbuttoning the denim for Insung to access. She was quick to undo his too and it didn’t look like he showed any signs of wanting her to stop, a near moan leaving his lips when her hands brushed up against his groin.

Sera rushed to pull his cock out of his pants and push it inside of her, she wanted this moment to go by quickly and it would with her in control of the situation. As far as she’s concerned this is for him, her benefits would come after and it always felt good being so physically close to someone.

The position was awkward, Sera’s head had hit the car ceiling at least three times by now and her back was this close to sounding out the horn every time she leaned the tiniest bit backwards. In terms of sex, this was nowhere near reaching the top of her list, Insung wasn’t doing anything particularly show-stopping and he had barely been able to keep eye contact with her at all despite having his literal dick buried inside her.

She couldn’t find a way to sweeten the moment, make it feel like it meant something big to the both of them. Insung layed there in his seat watching Sera do all the work and doing nothing but biting his lip and hanging onto her hips for dear life. She figures that after the first time and in a more comfortable setting he might do more for her, or at least she hopes so, she was already planning on hooking up with him a few more times and it would be better if he attempted to put more effort into her pleasure.

She tried to look into his eyes again, placing her hands around his cheeks and holding them in place. Insung, however, firmly avoided her gaze, turning his head away from the grasp of her palm and choosing to settle his eyes on the road behind her shoulders.

Sera rolled her eyes, still bouncing up and down until she felt him tense underneath her. The sounds he let out of his mouth were obscene, dark groans escaping his lips as he pulled himself out of Sera. He came soon after, thick splodges of cum painting Sera’s abdomen and the edge of her t-shirt, dripping down onto Insung’s jeans.

She felt gross, the feeling of his sticky cum all over her made her want to throw up. She removed her legs from the tight straddle and flipped over into the passenger seat, quickly pulling her jeans back up and tucking her t-shirt in in a poor effort to clean up the mess he had left.

Her mind drew blank, barely a thought processing behind her eyes. It’s not an entirely new feeling, she remembers the nights she spent with Johnny and how each one ended with her creeping out in the dead of night, not a single emotion playing on her face. It was all the same, none of these hookups were anything special and she chose not to think too much about the repercussions of them. That was a can of worms she would rather not open, ever.

The thick smell of sex brought her back to reality, barely covering the stale cigarette smoke in the car. Her fingers lifted up over her face to wipe off the taste of Insung, chewing against the soft skin on her knuckle and resting over her nose as if to hide from the man beside her.

“You want anything?” Insung’s voice cut through the silence, coupled with the sounds of his belt and the button metal clashing as he hastily zipped his pants back up.

Sera didn’t turn to look at him, too focused on the black cat outside striding past the car. He probably meant in terms of something to eat or drink but she supposed she could at least try and enjoy the time she’d spent in this car, “Have you got any weed?”

Insung chuckles, muttering something to himself. Sera dives into her bag to find the couple hundred won she had lying around just for moments like this.

“Don’t.” He places the little bag into her hand, pushing away the notes, “We’ll share it, don’t worry about it today.”

Sera gives him a small smile, “Will you roll it for me then?”

Insung is much faster at rolling than she is, having made the perfect blunt within a minute, hers always turned out a little empty and lopsided. He grabbed her chin roughly, placing it in between her pursed lips and lighting it up. “Good girl.” He uttered out after the blunt was lit.

She swallowed thickly before inhaling the weed into her lungs. He probably got off on manhandling her like that so she let him, she’ll think about it again in a day or two and pretend it was hot.

Shared between the two of them the blunt doesn’t last long, Sera’s too anxious to go without something in her hands or on her lips and Insung always had steel lungs, one of the faster smokers she’d ever hung around. The high had quickly settled within her chest, feeling a little lightheaded as she sinks into the passenger seat.

“You okay princess?”

He cares about her, is all she can think, why else would he have done everything he did tonight. She believes she’s worn him down, just enough for him to feel used to her. That’s all she needed.

“Yes.” She hummed. Her hand creeped up to Insung’s empty one that laid beside her, surprised when he didn't drag his away.

“Look at us,” Sera chuckled, “Hayoung and Insung.” She wasn’t feeling up to thinking before speaking, simply letting the words roll off her tongue, the easiest feeling in the world.

“Hayoung...I like that.” Something strikes her upon hearing the name leave his lips, it was strange, it didn’t hurt the way she thought it would. That had to mean something, right?

Her thumbs rub against the rough skin on Insung’s palm. It was hardly believable that she had gotten this far without being hastily thrown out or that he was letting her be this affectionate to him, some part of her believes that maybe he wanted this too. If she thinks a little bit too hard she starts to suspect that he needed this just as badly as she did.

Maybe they were made for each other, who knows?

Insung was different from all the other people that she’d been with. She’d always been the heart breaker, the girl you had to watch out for because she’s gonna shit all over you, but with Insung she was weak, almost his equal if you excluded the money he made off of her.

Jongin was a whole story she still wasn’t dealing with, seeing his face around the halls of the SM building didn’t make any of their meetings hurt less. It’s her fault that they broke up, she would never admit it but she knows she did something wrong. Despite that, in their most vulnerable moments they would always find each other and Sera can’t tell if it’s some kind of fucked up star-crossed lover thing or if it’s just sad that they still pretend like nothing ever happened the morning after. To be honest, the fact that he keeps on letting her back into his bed is his deal, Sera just likes that she’s still got a hook in him.

Johnny was probably the closest she’d gotten to a real relationship since 2015. He was sweet and honestly cared for her, the last time she’d been with him just a little after his debut, she fucked that one up big time.

But with Insung she couldn’t fuck up, not romantically, it was all about giving each other something that the other wanted. Sera got the attention she craved and Insung found himself a warm hole for whenever he needed to get his dick wet. Insung’s probably got his own unsavoury opinions about her brewing in his mind but she’s trying her best not to give a fuck about what he thinks, and in her defence the last time she got called a slut she thoroughly enjoyed it.

“Let me drive you home.”

Sera doesn’t think that’s the greatest idea, let a drug dealer know her home location? Let a man she’d only known for a couple weeks drive her anywhere? It wouldn’t be the safest choice she had made tonight but she was too fucked to care, that was something she could worry about tomorrow, preferably with a bottle of something strong to help ease her thoughts.

“Thank you.” She squeezed his thumb with a small smile. Her fingers just barely made out the dorm address into his sat nav, gliding all over the screen until it’s set and he can start to drive.

They remained silent for the ride home, sitting comfortably as the car twisted through several roads to reach the dorms. Sera glanced over at Insung, catching a concentrated expression on his face, he smiled when he caught her looking.

She could get used to this, fucking Insung and then letting him treat her, it sure is the life her father always dreamed for her. At least it would give her something to do whilst SM tries to figure out what the fuck Lyra and Jangmi have going on, god knows she’d go insane if she had to stay in that dorm any longer, constantly having to walk on eggshells around everyone. This was fun, about as much fun as it can get for her right now.

The car comes to a stop, parked just outside her apartment building. This can’t last forever, Sera knows that much, it wouldn’t bode well for her in the long run knowing what kind of person he was.

There’s not much interaction as Sera exits the car, her hand leaves his empty and there’s no goodbye kiss or even a hug, “See you around.”

“See you around, princess.”

And then he drove off. The light wind starting to pick up reminded her that it was far too late for her to be out as she watched the car disappear down the road.

That’s all there was to it really, nothing special, it almost made her miss how Johnny used to beg her to stay just a little longer. However, beggars can’t be choosers, Sera thought. She got what she wanted, she can’t exactly be picky with how much affection she was asking for. Still there’s a pang in her heart once she finds herself back in the dorm, her chest starting to feel heavy yet again once she’s in the darkened living room. Sera’s at least grateful that no one was waiting behind the door to ask about her whereabouts or comment on the smell of weed she’d brought back with her.

She figures she’ll try to shower before attempting to sleep, having already decided she was going to take the sofa instead of bothering Aejung and Juliet who were likely fast asleep in their shared room. This was probably the most peace they’d get that day, no need for Sera to wake them up with her problems.

The water was cold, just barely above freezing. She shivered at the feeling but didn’t move to change it, instead lingering under the shower head and letting the stream of water run down her body. Her hair started to dampen, bright blonde strands sticking uncomfortably to her skin like glue, barely doing anything to refresh her of the high she was slowly coming down from.

Her hands ran down to her stomach, rubbing off the dried cum and letting out a choked laugh at the action. She hoped that it was the shower water she was feeling but she couldn’t mistake the hot tears leaving her eyes for anything else.

“Fuck.” She mutters to herself, leaning her body against the wall and letting the tears fall freely from her eyes.

Sera doesn’t know why she’s crying, there could be a number of reasons: maybe she was starting her period, maybe she missed her dad too much, or maybe she’s regretting her actions. All of her years she told herself never to let herself regret anything, once it’s done it’s done and yet she still can’t help but feel like she's doing it all for nothing. After a couple months they’ll drop each other and Sera can go back to searching the club in favour of finding someone new to play with, like they never existed to each other outside of their deals.

She thinks back to the car, she can still feel his touches on her body and the cold water does little to remove the feeling. It’s confusing, in the moment it felt so right, like she was finally getting what she’d been asking for but here her emotions had flipped on her so easily, preying on her and causing her to doubt everything.

It left a sickening feeling in her stomach at the thought of him calling her ‘Hayoung’. She knows now that what she was feeling when she heard it wasn’t anything different, she was just high, the weed was admittedly stronger than she was used to and it must’ve knocked the sense out of her. That’s how she rationalises it, but there was one anomaly still standing out in her mind. Why did he let her hold his hand?

Sera had only known him a little amount of time but even in those moments she had painted an awfully clear image of what he was like. Insung, he was ruthless, cocky, far too mighty for his own damn good. She’d seen the way he shamelessly flirted with just about everyone and how he’d pull out a number of threats on people who did him wrong, it would be strange for him to act so softly and yet he did?

Maybe he pitied her, she had become clingy after sex and he didn’t want to let her down so quickly so he let her act like that, spare her some of the embarrassment and then never talk to her again.

The vicious whispers of her former best friend still lived in between her ears and at the back of her head in her worst moments, poor little Hayoung has to fuck everyone just to make them love her because she knows they wouldn’t even give her a chance if it were any other way. Every so often she’d hear them spat back out in her own voice, those nights were always the worst.

It takes all of her strength to get up off the shower floor and turn it off, her fingers and toes had turned blue under the water and she knew she wasn’t going to be getting anything clean anytime soon. She’ll just shower in the morning, she thinks, she’s not in the right state to be doing much now.

It takes her even more strength not to look into the mirror as she dressed, the last time she had done that when she was feeling like this she found herself staring into cracked glass with a bloodied fist.

She had found an old t-shirt and some shorts lying around the dorm to wear, no one cleaned around here anymore, they could very well be someone else’s but it’s not like any of the others cared anymore. Sera can’t even remember the last time she saw Yewon or Hime beyond brief flashes of blonde hair or the sound of their dragging footsteps across the floorboards.

Sera ends up slumping onto the sofa, her eyes staring down at the coffee table before her. Crumpled Chinese takeout flyers were scattered all over the table along with several unwashed mugs full of tea and coffee stains and the remnants of a dying potted plant covering the rest of the surface.

Damn, if she wasn’t already feeling like pure shit then being in this apartment for longer than twenty minutes would’ve done it to her anyways.

She glanced over at the time shining on the screen of her phone, two fifty five in the morning it read. Her fingers hovered over the contact number for her dad, it was just about turning ten in California, she knew he had to get up for work and wouldn’t be bothering him. She hesitates just for a moment before scrolling through her contacts again and finding the number titled ‘Kim Jongin’.

A pathetic sigh left her mouth, pressing on his name and waiting for it to ring. Her teeth found her knuckle, biting down onto it when the phone started to ring for too long, it wasn’t until she was about to hang up that she heard his all too familiar voice call out from the phone.

He sounded tired, his voice was barely above a grumble clearly having been woken up by her call. She didn’t really care about that though, she just needed to be with him tonight, there’s no way he could deny her that.

“Hey, do you think I could come over?”
