Title: Go Your Own Way

Pairing: Namjoon/Woosung

Summary: Namjoon and Woosung come to a hard decision after weeks of arguing when faced with the reality of Namjoon leaving the region for college. In true fashion of their dysfunctional relationship they have one last moment of fun before calling it quits.

Word Count: 2282

As soon as the door shuts, Woosung presses Namjoon against the door. Their lips meet in fierce passion and Woosung is clawing at the buttons of his boyfriend’s shirt desperate to expose his toned muscles. Namjoon threads his fingers through Woosung’s long hair pulling just hard enough to sting. Their tongues push into each other's mouths playing together just as eagerly as all the times before. A rush of pleasure lights a fire in Namjoon’s chest and he pulls Woosung even closer until it's hard to tell where one man ends and the other begins.

Woosung successfully opens Namjoon’s shirt and breaks away from their kiss to attach his lips to the other man’s pec. His lips trail down Namjoon’s body stopping only when the other man’s jeans impede his progress. Woosung deftly unbuttons Namjoon’s pants and pushes them, and the underwear beneath, down just far enough to gain access to a large hard cock. 

Namjoon watches unmoving as Woosung’s tongue snakes out of his mouth to swirl around his blushed tip. He doesn’t tease long, forming a tight ring with lips as his head sinks down. Namjoon’s head falls back resting against the door. His boyfriend grips his thighs to steady himself as he works his mouth up and down Namjoon’s arousal. Heat rises to Namjoon’s stomach bursting like fireworks when Woosung lifts a hand to play with balls. The taller man grips Woosung’s shaggy locks earning a groan that sends a vibration down his cock.

Low moans pass Namjoon’s lips as he keeps his fingers threaded through Woosung’s hair. He is resisting the urge to fuck himself into the other man’s throat. Maybe he deserves it after the things he’s been saying to Namjoon lately. He tries to focus on the pleasure Woosung’s soft lips are bringing him but he can’t. Even after days of not touching each other like this he is still distracted.  

There’s a reason he asked Woosung to come here and it wasn’t to get his dick sucked. Namjoon pulls Woosung off of his length with a tug of his hair. Woosung looks up from his position on his knees with a confused look on his face, like there is no possible timeline where Namjoon wouldn’t love to be having his dick sucked by him. Under normal circumstances that might be the case, but not right now. 

The taller man leads them away from the front door, after abandoning his pants on the floor, and continues towards the bedroom. Woosung preemptively removes his shirt and jeans leaving him in just his white boxers. 

Namjoon stops once they reach the bedroom, turning away to roughly run his fingers through his hair. He lets out a frustrated sigh as he sits on the end of the bed, covering himself with the end of his blanket. 

“We have to talk about this.”

Woosung’s heart drops into his stomach not wanting to have this conversation for the hundredth time this summer. Namjoon is leaving tomorrow so Woosung guesses he should’ve expected he would bring this up again. Woosung knows Namjoon doesn’t want to leave any confusion on where they stand even if it's not easy to talk about. 

“No we don’t. I think you’ve made your decision very clear.” Woosung says taking a seat next to Namjoon on the bed. He is squirming uncomfortably in his seat desperate for any kind of friction against the obvious bulge in his underwear he can’t hide. “I want you to stay and you want to go to Paldea University far away from me.”

“You know that’s not why I’m leaving.” Namjoon sighs heavily, looking into the eyes of the man he loves, wondering where things went wrong. Surely, he did something wrong if Woosung doesn’t think their love is strong enough to handle long distance. “I don’t deserve to be treated like I don’t care about you. If you are so sure this isn’t going to end well, why don’t we end it here?” 

Woosung takes Namjoon’s face between his hands, holding tightly like he might slip away at any second. The taller man closes his eyes, taking a deep breath as he tries to get his emotions under control. How easy would it be to cave to Woosung’s will and do whatever he wants? Namjoon can’t let that happen. He can’t let a man get in the way of his education and dreams, even if it hurts. He can get over a man but he can never get over losing his best opportunity to make something of himself.

“Because I love you.” Woosung says firmly. 

In that moment Namjoon lets his heart win, surging forward to kiss him. The taste of regret, unkept promises, and confused feelings coating his tongue. Woosung holds him close, swinging his leg over Namjoon’s thighs to straddle him. Namjoon holds his waist, fingers digging into his skin as he guides Woosung’s hips to grind against his crotch. Woosung can feel Namjoon’s cock getting harder as his ass rubs against Namjoon. 

Woosung breaks away from the kiss, giving attention to the wide expanse of Namjoon’s exposed chest. While Woosung is sucking a mark into Namjoon’s left pec just above his nipple Namjoon finally speaks up. 

“We’re breaking up after this.” His voice is low and final.

Woosung pretends this doesn’t shatter his heart, knowing from the tone there’s no sense in arguing. Namjoon has made his decision. The man he loves most in this world values leaving the region for a potentially better school over his boyfriend. Over the man who has helped him through the hell the last year has brought to his life. Having him one last time is better than wishing for closure for the rest of forever, right?

“This better be the best sex we’ve ever had.”

Their lips meet again before Namjoon can answer. No softness is felt as Woosung hopelessly tries to remind the other man why they shouldn’t end this. Namjoon’s hands slide inside the waistband on Woosung’s underwear to grasp his ass. He pulls the round cheeks apart, slotting his cock over the fabric of the underwear. 

The fingers of Woosung’s left hand graze Namjoon’s nipple, stirring heat in the other man’s stomach once again. Namjoon breaks away from their kiss trailing his plush lips along Woosung’s shoulder. Gently he presses a kiss against the rose tattooed just to the right of Woosung’s collarbone. 

Namjoon lifts his soon to be ex boyfriend and scoots up the bed so they can be in a more comfortable position. Woosung resumes his place on Namjoon’s lap after removing his boxers. Namjoon reaches into the bedside table retrieving a bottle of lube and coating his fingers in the substance. 

The taller man’s finger circles Woosung’s entrance while his other arm wraps tightly around his boyfriend’s waist. Woosung buries his face into Namjoon’s shoulder, kissing and sucking at the smooth skin.

When Namjoon continues to play with the surrounding area, without dipping inside, Woosung begins to whine. Namjoon has always liked hearing him beg, but today he caves easily feeling that they are already going through too much.

 He puts him out of his misery, slipping one long finger into Woosungs’s perfect ass. A sharp gasp sounds near Namjoon’s ear and he smirks. A single finger inside Woosung to the knuckle still bringing such an outward reaction drives Namjoon crazy. Does Woosung know no one else will be able to make him feel this way? Does he know how hard it will be to find someone who is willing to take the time to learn what he likes?

Namjoon lazily pushes his finger in and out slowly curling in just the right spot to make Woosung abandon all other activities and dig his nails into the other man’s shoulder blades. This only encourages the slow motion of Namjoon’s fingers. Something about the sharp feeling of Woosung’s nails digging into his shoulders makes him even harder. It doesn’t take long for pleas to fill his ears. Patience is not one of Woosung’s virtues. 

A soft squeak leaves Woosung’s mouth when he feels another finger stretching his hole, preparing it for his soon to be ex boyfriend’s larger than average cock. Namjoon picks up the pace ever so slightly, earning a slew of pretty sounds. He’ll miss hearing how he can make Woosung feel, but this man doesn’t trust Namjoon. 

Woosung begins pushing back against Namjoon’s fingers, needing for the other man’s fingers to touch even deeper. Namjoon tightens the arm wrapped around Woosung’s waist holding him in place so he can’t move as easily. He gives him what he wants driving his fingers in and out quicker and deeper than before. 

“Please fuck me.” Woosung whines gripping the hair on the back of Namjoon’s head. “I need you.”

Namjoon slides his fingers out of Woosung and moves to coat his cock with lube. 

“Not enough to put a little work in.” Namjoon mutters, lining his tip up with Woosung’s waiting hole. He pushes the tip in before the other man can get a word out. Woosung can’t form a coherent sentence like this. “I wasn’t going to find someone better at school, but I can’t be in a relationship with someone who doesn’t believe in our relationship.”

Not wanting to hear more bullshit excuses from Woosung’s pretty lips Namjoon pushes the other man further down his cock. A sound somewhere between a gasp and moan fills Namjoon’s ears when he bottoms out. Even once he’s settled with the feeling of Namjoon’s length Woosung doesn’t fight back with words. Instead he steadies himself, taking a deep breath before using Namjoon’s shoulders as leverage to bounce himself.

A low groan gets caught in Namjoon’s throat as he places his hands on Woosung’s hips. He doesn’t attempt to guide him, favoring watching how Woosung fucks himself. Namjoon lets himself feel his pleasure to the greatest capacity knowing this very well could be the last time they are together in this way. 

He swears having his dick enveloped in Woosung’s perfect ass gets better every time. It makes him want to flip his boyfriend over and pound him into the mattress. That is something that needs to be worked up to. He should try to savor the moment while he can. 

Watching his cock disappear into Woosung sends hot fits of passion through Namjoon’s stomach. They lock eyes with tension thick in the air. Woosung’s hands snake up to Namjoon’s neck where he applies slight pressure. The response is immediate. Namjoon thrusts upward meeting Woosung’s movements as a string of curses falls from his lips. The taller man pulls Woosung completely off of him and flips him on his back before he can even whine about the loss of contact. 

Woosung spreads his legs showing Namjoon every inch of his sweet cock. Before driving himself back inside the other man Namjoon leans forward to kiss Woosung’s cock. His tongue flicks over the leaking tip tasting for a moment. Woosung squirms obviously wanting more of Namjoon’s cock. 

Instead of giving his soon to be ex boyfriend what he wants Namjoon takes the man’s cock into his mouth. With his right hand he used his fingers to drive Woosung crazy. Namjoon chuckles at the way the other man’s hips twitch, sending his cock further into Namjoon’s mouth. Woosung is so easy to unravel. 

Caving cheeks suctioning around Woosung’s cock brings him closer and closer to the edge. Taking his length all the way to the back of his throat is second nature at this point. He gladly does it to please Woosung. 

Namjoon doesn’t ignore the telltale signs and continues to suck him off and finger him in tandem until Woosung is seconds away from cumming down the other man’s throat. Woosung’s back arches off the bed in pure ecstasy. Namjoon curls his fingers inside the man and it sends Woosung over the edge. The salty flavor coats his tongue as he swallows every drop until Woosung is begging for him to stop. 

His mouth pops off Woosung’s cock and he removes his fingers only to replace them with his cock. Namjoon dips down to kiss the other man sharing the taste of Woosung’s cum. Namjoon thrusts hard and fast causing the other man to pull away from the kiss. 

Woosung fills the air with melodic moans and grips Namjoon’s bulging biceps. Namjoon shows no mercy pounding his fat cock into Woosung’s tight hole that feels as if it was made to be fucked by him. Namjoon reaches between them wrapping his long fingers around Woosung’s cock stroking erratically as he focuses more attention to the rock of his hips. 

Namjoon leaves his shoulder in the perfect position for Woosung to sink his teeth into. The taller man whimpers, pleasure blooming through his body and slams his cock harder into the other’s ass in retaliation. Exactly what Woosung wanted. 

Namjoon is relentless, letting all his emotions pound into the man he once loved. Leaving all his feelings for Woosung in this moment. Overwhelmed with pleasure Namjoon finishes inside of Woosung with a low moan. He pulls out shuffling away from Woosung and falling back onto the bed.

“Clean yourself up, then leave.” Namjoon says knowing if he doesn’t say something now he might fall back. 

Maybe it’s a little rude, but it is the only way he won’t make any further mistakes. Namjoon deserves a fresh start with no more wondering or worrying. If this were another time in their life maybe things could be different, but it isn’t. 

“Thank you for loving me.” Woosung says shuffling off Namjoon’s bed towards the bathroom. 

It’s the last thing Woosung says before he leaves.

iPhone Wi-Fi Calling: Make & Receive Voice Calls Using Wi-Fi Connection

Wi-Fi calling is a great technology to make and receive voice calls and text messages over Wi-Fi. This technology is available for both iPhone and Android devices. As this is an iPhone related website we will be talking about iPhone Wi-Fi calling first.

You can enable Wi-Fi calling on iPhone, iPads, iPods and even on MAC device.  You will need iPhone 5c or later to make use of this feature on your device. Older version of iPhones does not support Wi-Fi calling due to hardware & software limitations.

I will be showing all the settings that you need to make in order to turn on Wi-Fi calling feature. It's obvious that the settings will vary depending on the Apple device you will be using this feature with. I will also talk about everything related to this wireless technology in detail.

If you do not wish to read all the details you can directly jump to How To Enable iPhone Wi-Fi Calling.

There are times when your mobile carrier network gets blocked. Be it in the basement or in the building elevator or maybe in your room.

Also Read: How To BackUp Your iPhone Or iPad/iPod?- Backup & Restoration

Your phone tries hard to connect to its carrier network but fails due to no network signals. Not to mention,  we had all experienced the mobile network coverage issue multiple times. This is where Wi-Fi calling make great sense if you have Wireless Internet Connection in the range.

There are many other reasons you should use this technology, we will talk more about this later in this article.

Why You Should Enable Wi-Fi Calling On Your Phone?

Apart from the reasons listed previously in this article. There are many other reasons that will convince you of using iPhone Wi-Fi calling.

If you are an avid traveler who loves to explore the world, you must enable this awesome feature on your phone. This will let you place and receive calls over WiFi from your phone number. The roaming charges will not be applied if you are using this feature. Your carrier will only charge you international calling rates. By the way, there are other free apps like Facetime, Skype, Whatsapp, Google Hangout that you can use free of charge. But these apps only work if the other party you are trying to communicate uses the same apps.

There are many people who love to live in a remote location near to nature where there are no carrier towers to provide telecom services. I know many people in the US who follow nomad lifestyle and use Wi-Fi call over there carrier in order to maintain communication with the outside world.

Areas with no consistent mobile network, meaning sometimes you get the network sometimes not or there will be disturbance or cut-outs during the calls. I know this makes any caller very irritated.

The other thing is your iPhone will consume more battery power when continuously trying to connect to a carrier network in an area with a fluctuating signal. The best thing to do in this situation is to turn off the carrier network and start using Wi-Fi calling on iPhone or other supported devices.

In case there is an emergency and you want to call 911, what's the better option than placing a Wi-Fi call.

Wi-Fi hotspots are increasing every year as compared to mobile towers. Implementing hotspots are way cheaper than adding mobile towers to the areas. I have a strong feeling that mobile companies in the future will use Wi-Fi calling instead of regular analog transmission.

How Wi-Fi Calling Works & Other Important Details

When you place a call using your iPhone Wi-Fi calling also called VoWiFi (Vice Over Wi-Fi). The call packets get routed to your registered carrier using Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) technology.

There is a device located at the mobile network tower called GAN Controller (GANC) which receives the Wi-Fi call packets from the internet and transmit it through the phone network as if the call is placed using the regular network and not Wi-Fi.

[caption id="attachment_736" align="aligncenter" width="613"] Pic Credit: https://aptilo.com[/caption]

How much does Wi-Fi calling cost?

You will not be charged extra while using VoWiFi (WiFi Calling) feature. The carrier will deduct the minutes or the balance used by the consumer from its system.

If you are calling locally, local rates will apply. International call rates will apply if you are placing the call internationally. Roaming will be always free of charge.

However, you can use apps like Whatsapp that support VOIP tech for calling and texting purpose without having to spend a dime. One of the advantages of using Wi-Fi calling is that the receiver will see your phone number on their screen.

Is VoWiFi supported by every Carrier?

The answer is NO! Wi-Fi Calling is not supported by each and every mobile carrier out there in the market.

To use iPhone Wi-Fi Calling you should be registered on a supported carrier. Moreover, Wi-Fi calling is not available to every country on this earth. You can find out the supported carrier and countries using this link.

These are the major carriers which support this feature:

Sprint: You can use Sprint Device support to get more information about your device and WiFi Calling.

Verizon Wireless: You can go through Verison's Wi-Fi Calling FAQs to clear your doubts and get answers to any questions you have regarding the feature.

AT&T: Like other carriers, ATT also have Device Support to walk you through the process of Internet Calling.

T-Mobile: Phones & Tablets devices tutorials can be accessed using this link.

We have talked a lot about the Wi-Fi Calling in detail. I think its enough for anyone who is considering using the feature. Now let's have a look at the various settings that you have to do if you want to use Wi-Fi calling on iPhone and other devices.

How To Enable WiFi Calling

On iPhone:

You can Turn on WiFi calling On iPhone by navigating to:

Settings > Cellular > Toggle On Wi-Fi Calling

You might need to "Update Emergency Address". This address is used by emergency response service like 911 to track your details with the help of your carrier in case you need help.

Notice the screenshot above, there is an option "Add Wi-Fi Calling For Other Devices". If toggled On, this will allow you to use WiFi Calling with other Apple devices.

Your iCloud account acts as a medium between your iPhone & other devices. So to use this option you must have an iCloud account that I am sure every iPhone user has.

On Other Apple Devices:

The other devices that you want to add to your WiFi Calling devices list should have the latest version of the iOS software.

Adding other devices in the calling list helps when you do not have your iPhone near you.

I will assume that you already turned on "Wi-Fi Calling" and "Add Wi-Fi Calling For Other Devices" using the steps mentioned previously.

On your other Apple devices, log into iCloud and FaceTime with the same Apple ID and password that you use on your iPhone device. This is important, failing to do so will not add other devices to the Allow Devices list.

Next step is to enable Wi-Fi Calling:

How To Install a Nitrous Kit on an LT1

There are two kinds of performance enthusiasts: those who resist change and those who embrace it. Which one are you? When Chevrolet first introduced electronic fuel injection to the original small-block, the carburetor guys threw their hands up in disgust, thinking it was the death of performance. Not only was this untrue, but it can be argued that fuel injection ushered in the modern muscle-car era. The same thing happened when GM introduced the LS engine family to replace the legendary small-block, and now the LS market is the biggest thing going in the performance industry. Now, the new LT engine platform, introduced in 2014, represents a further step up the small-block performance ladder. Thanks to refinements like variable-valve timing (VVT) and direct injection, the LT engine family not only offers improvements in power production but combines this with fuel-mileage improvements during this time of ever-tightening restrictions on emissions output.

Unlike the LS, the recent LT engine family is offered in only two displacements: 6.2L and 5.3L. The performance-oriented Corvettes and Camaros receive the larger, more powerful 6.2L LT1, LT4, and even LT5 versions, but the bread-and-butter trucks are available with both displacements. Not surprisingly, the 5.3L is the most common, so we decided to get our hands on one for some dyno testing.

With a designation of L83 by GM, this 5.3L was factory-rated at 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque. These peaks jumped to 380 hp and 416 lb-ft when run on E85. The peak numbers are impressive compared with the nearly 300 hp offered by the previous LM7 (LS-based) 5.3L, but it is the average torque production offered by the L83 that is most impressive. Thanks to the combination of high compression (available courtesy of direct injection) and VVT (advancing and retarding the cam), the L83 offers a solid 50 extra lb-ft of torque at lower engine speeds, where it is most effective in truck applications.

To find out if the L83 responded to the usual array of performance modifications, we started with a kit from Nitrous Express (NX). Before we could run that test, we needed to get the direct-injected L83 up on the dyno and running in naturally aspirated trim. The combination of direct injection, VVT, and drive-by-wire throttle-body meant we could not employ our usual aftermarket ECU for tuning. Luckily, the folks at Gandrud Chevrolet came to the rescue with their engine-controller kit for an LT1. Though the ECU is designed for the larger-displacement LT1, Westech’s Eric Rhee not only got the ECU working on the smaller 5.3L but even managed to delete the factory MAF and air-intake assembly. This allowed us to visually confirm full-throttle activation of the drive-by-wire throttle-body, as well as view the nitrous injection into the 5.3L. A few harness extensions here, a relocated MAP sensor there, and a 60-psi fuel source, and we were in business. Equipped with long-tube headers, the factory accessory drive, and an open throttle-body with a radiused air entry, the 5.3L L83 produced 406 hp at 5,400 rpm and 434 lb-ft of torque at 4,200 rpm. Torque production exceeded 400 lb-ft, even below 3,000 rpm!

In retrospect, we should have run the dedicated system from NX designed for the 2014-and-later 5.3L trucks, but all we had on hand in time for testing was a simple wet fogger nozzle—the kind used on a fifth-gen Camaro kit. To get it ready to run, we drilled and tapped the air entry to accept the threaded nozzle, then installed the supplied nitrous jetting to produce the desired 100 hp (52N/23F). For the fuel supply, we tapped into the 60-psi Aeromotive fuel-pressure regulator, while we plumbed the nitrous solenoid directly from the 15-pound NX bottle. When we hit the button, power output jumped to 549 hp and 613 lb-ft of torque. The activation spike subsided to produce a solid gain of 100 hp over the naturally aspirated combination. Note: Be sure to replace the factory projected-tip spark plugs with a colder, non-projected-tip plug if you plan to Xpress yourself on a daily basis!

How well does the direct-injected 5.3L L83 respond to Nitrous Express nitrous? Just like everything else!

Purchased from a wrecking yard, the 2015 L83 came complete with the stock exhaust and factory air intake/MAF assembly.

The L83 was run with the factory serpentine system, including the water pump, alternation, and vacuum pump.

We ran this junkyard 5.3L with a Chevrolet Performance engine controller kit supplied by Gandrud Chevrolet. The kit included a dedicated harness that allowed use of the factory ECU. Using HP Tuners, we were able to reconfigure the LT1 kit to run the smaller 5.3L.

The GM controller kit featured a number of sensors, including this one for the low-pressure fuel supply from the dyno to the high-pressure direct-injection pump.

Rather than run the stock exhaust manifolds, we installed a set of Hooker headers designed for a 6.2L LT1 application. Since they did not fit the dyno, we were forced to reverse them. Oddly enough, the long-tube headers did not offer substantial power gains over the manifolds on this stock 5.3L.

In addition to dialing in the air/fuel ratio, ignition, and cam timing on the L83, the HP Tuners software allowed Westech’s Eric Rhee to eliminate the MAF and air-intake assembly and run the engine in speed-density mode. This allowed us to visually verify that the drive-by-wire throttle-body was actually at wide-open throttle when commanded.

Much like the previous factory LS engines, the LT-based L83 features a long-runner intake manifold designed to promote torque production, especially when combined with variable-valve timing.

Run on the dyno with the headers and radiused air entry feeding the stock throttle-body, the L83 produced 406 hp at 5,400 rpm and 434 lb-ft of torque at 4,200 rpm.

With our baseline out of the way, it was time to add nitrous. We decided the easiest route would be a simple wet fogger system from Nitrous Express (NX). The NX fogger combined the nitrous and fuel together to be injected directly into the front of the intake.

We drilled and tapped the radiused air entry to accept the threaded fogger nozzle.

The NX kit was adjustable using any of the supplied jets. We played it safe and added a simple 100hp shot (52/23) to our L83.

The solenoids supplied by NX were more than up to the task of feeding our little 100hp shot.

After filling the bottle, we dunked it in Westech’s bottle heater to ensure adequate (900-psi) pressure.

The NX bottle came with a high-flow Lightning 500 (0.500-inch-flow orifice) bottle valve and pressure gauge.

To provide fuel to the fuel solenoid, we tapped into the Aeromotive fuel-pressure regulator.

We call this the fun button, as this activated the nitrous from the control room once the motor reached the desired rpm.

Run on the dyno with the NX nitrous kit, the peak power numbers jumped to 549 hp and 613 lb-ft of torque. These were actually just the activation spike numbers, but the NX system settled in with a solid 100hp gain through the entire curve. Just like small-blocks and LS engines, the LT engine family likes nitrous!

5.3L L83-Stock vs. NX Nitrous (100 HP)

The fancy, new 2015 LT-based 5.3L L83 test engine features direct injection and variable-valve timing. Having run endless testing on the previous LS engine family, we couldn’t help but wonder if the new engines responded just as well to a shot of nitrous. Spoiler alert: The answer was an emphatic yes. Run with headers, a radiused air entry, and tuning by Westech’s Eric Rhee, the used L83 5.3L truck engine produced 406 hp and 434 lb-ft of torque. After introduction of the Nitrous Express (NX) wet fogger kit, with 100hp jetting, the power output jumped as high as 549 hp and 613 lb-ft of torque. Once the activation spike subsided, the NX nitrous kit offered consistent 100hp gains through the remainder of the curve.

SA Treasurer blames Labor for public service cuts amid budget deficit

Updated September 04, 2018 18:57:45

Photo: Treasurer Rob Lucas and Premier Steven Marshall congratulate each other on their first state budget together. (ABC Radio Adelaide: Malcolm Sutton) South Australian Treasurer Rob Lucas has declared his first budget in 17 years will deliver on the Liberal government's election promises but has flagged new cuts to public agencies and threatened potential privatisations to help pay for it. New savings measures in the budget include:Increased rents for Housing Trust tenants in bedsit and one bedroom cottage flatsSaving up to $15 million a year by rationalising public transport services low patronage bus services discontinuedClosure of seven TAFE campuses Tea Tree Gully, Parafield, Port Adelaide, Urrbrae, Wudinna, Roxby Downs and Coober PedyClosing Mitcham, Modbury and Prospect Service SA CentresSaving $70 million by abandoning Labor's plan to provide laptops to every Year 10 studentCutting 200 FTE non-teaching employees from the Education DepartmentCutting 115 FTE employees from Department of Environment and WaterCuts to mining sector grants and removal of a planned royalty reductionCuts to crime prevention grants including those to pay for new CCTVRaise $8.6 million by selling surplus crown landScrapping plans to build new residential care facilities seeking to increase foster carers insteadSave $11.9 million a year through cuts to neighbourhood road safety programs, Aboriginal road safety programs, grants for councils to spend on cycle paths and the Tall Ships program Single Housing Trust tenants will face rent increases, suburban TAFE campuses and Service SA centres will close, while the environment and education departments will face significant back office cuts. Mr Lucas blamed the previous Labor government for the budget's $397 million deficit for the 2017-18 financial year, pointing to blowouts in expenditure in health, child protection and TAFE. The deficit includes spending decisions made by the incoming Marshall Government, including $146 million to be put towards South Australia's participation in the National Redress Scheme for victims of abuse. A significant uplift in GST revenues from the Commonwealth will help the Government deliver on key election promises, with more than $600 million in tax cuts including the Emergency Services Levy (ESL), payroll and land taxes. "We've inherited a financial mess, but we're not going to use that as an excuse to break our promises," Mr Lucas said. Mr Lucas is forecasting surpluses across the next four years, with overall state debt set to increase beyond Labor's forecasts to almost $17 billion in 2021-22. The Government has also foreshadowed potential privatisations as it seeks to deliver on its election promises, including placing the Adelaide Remand Centre in the hands of a private operator. Mr Lucas also warned he would seek to outsource the work of SA Pathology and state-funded medical imaging services if the Government was not able to rein in costs. A host of the former Labor government's programs will be abolished including the Economic Development Board, Independent Gambling Authority and Commissioner for Kangaroo Island. The Government is promising $613 million worth of tax cuts including reductions to payroll and land tax, in line with election promises. "This budget will reduce the cost of living by cutting waste and taxes and charges rather than relying on trying to introduce a new tax every budget such as a bank tax," Mr Lucas said. But Opposition Leader Peter Malinauskas said the Liberals' first budget has "no vision". "There is no central uplifting theme," he said. "Only cruel cuts, closures and privatisations that were not contemplated before the election." Financial position like 'an episode of Breaking Bad'

Photo: Treasurer Rob Lucas likens the budget to someone in a "business suit and sensible shoes". Mr Lucas said the incoming government brief provided to him by Treasury after taking office in March made it clear there were significant problems with the budget. "Reading this briefing folder was like the financial equivalent of reading a script for an episode of Breaking Bad mayhem, deception and one atrocity after another," he said. The Government will back away from some of the former Labor government's pre-planned savings measures in health, arguing they are not realistic. Extra money will also be provided for TAFE and the child protection system.

Photo: SA Treasurer Rob Lucas talks through the state budget with the ABC's Leah MacLennan. (ABC Radio Adelaide: Malcolm Sutton) "Whilst we're bailing out TAFE to the tune of $109 million over five years, there still is a savings task that TAFE has to achieve in terms of meeting budget," Mr Lucas said. "One of the mechanisms for the minister to meet that is to actually [close] sites that are low utilisation sites." The Treasurer said those sites might eventually be leased out or sold. Last year, Mr Lucas's predecessor Tom Koutsantonis described his final budget as "very sexy it's got a red dress on and walking down the street". Mr Lucas today likened his latest budget to someone in a "business suit and sensible shoes". The Government will set aside $170 million this financial year for targeted redundancies as part of a plan to reduce the number of full-time equivalent public service positions by 2,286 over the next four years. "Some of those people will retire," Mr Lucas said. "The taxpayers of South Australia can only pay so much difficult decisions sometimes have to be taken." Average ESL bill to drop by $145 The budget pours $800 million into health and hospitals, as well as $169 million for 270 new high-security prison beds at Yatala and 40 new beds at the Adelaide Women's Prison. While the cost of public transport fares will be reduced, so will the number of services, with the Government targeting underutilised public bus routes. It has also committed $11.9 million over four years on measures designed to combat domestic violence.

Photo: ABC journalists study the first State Liberal Government budget in 17 years. (ABC Radio Adelaide: Malcolm Sutton) The budget is forecast to return to a $48 million surplus this financial year, at the same time as delivering lower ESL bills to 650,000 homeowners. According to Treasury estimates, an ESL bill for the average home will fall by $145 per year. Payroll and land tax will be reduced, and council rate capping introduced, in line with pre-election promises. More than 20,000 new traineeships and apprenticeships will be created over four years through $203 million of skills funding but funding for HIV and STI prevention will be cut. The Government will also investigate privatising patient transfer services currently carried out by SA Ambulance between the Modbury and Lyell McEwin hospitals. As flagged before the election, major spending will occur in regional SA, with $150 million over 10 years in regional development and primary industries to be delivered through the Regional Growth Fund. New R-12 super schools will be built in Munno Para and Aldinga at a combined cost of $261 million, with $100 million for a new Whyalla school.

Hot-hitting Reds prospect Nick Senzel worth stashing in fantasy leagues

Cincinnati Reds prospect Nick Senzel could soon get a call to the big leagues and is a player for fantasy owners to stash.. (AP Photo/Matt York)

Cincinnati prospect Nick Senzel has been a machine in recent weeks at Triple-A Louisville, batting .387/.434/.613 so far in June with three homers and three steals. He’s hit safely in 11 consecutive games and reached base in 20 straight. Earlier this month, he put together a seven-game streak of multi-hit games. His season slash is now .310/.378/.509 and he’s delivered 20 extra-base hits with eight stolen bases.

So yeah, Senzel can hit a little. He’s probably ready for a new challenge. He homered twice from the lead-off spot on Thursday, just to emphasize the point.

[Yahoo Fantasy Football leagues are open: Sign up now for free]

Senzel has seen time at second, short and third this season, so he’ll offer positional flexibility when he arrives in the majors. Of course the Reds aren’t exactly hurting at his primary positions, second and third, where Scooter Gennett and Eugenio Suarez are firmly entrenched. It’s an issue. Senzel hasn’t played a ton of shortstop to this point — just one full game in the minors and 39 innings in spring. But that spot might represent his clearest route to the big leagues.

In any case, Senzel remains the top prospect in Cincinnati’s system and one of the most productive, consistent hitters in the high minors. His swing will play in any league. He’s available in 88 percent of the Yahoo universe at the moment and worth a stash in any format. He’s a near-lock to hit for average when he gets the call, plus he offers useful power/speed potential by middle-infield standards.

I have a question about car insurance. I was recently shopping around for quotes for car insurance. I had gotten an email about Washington Mutual Car Insurance, so I decided to get a quote. I was astounded when they quoted me with $2500 every 6 months or $5,000 a year. I was just completely blown away. My car, a 2004 Nissan Sentra, is barely even worth that much. I called them up and asked why they were quoting me that rate and they said it was because of my age and credit score. I am only 23 and I have really bad credit, but there is NO OTHER insurance company that quoted me a rate anything near as high as that. Progressive quoted me $600 every 6 months or $1200 a year. Geico $613 every 6 months or $1200 a year. Allstate was $1,200 every 6 months or $2,400 a year. And State Farm was $800 every 6 months, $1600 a year. These quotes were all for identical insurance policies. I have never been in an accident, never been arrested, never been given a ticket for ANYTHING. Does age and credit score make that much of a difference? That is insane, no one in their right mind would pay the full value of their car every year in insurance fees. What do you think?""

What is the difference between being forced to buy health insurance vs. being forced to buy car insurance?

In my state we are forced to have car insurance or we will be fined. I know that having the government intervene more in our health insurance seems like more of a step in a socialism direction but were we already going that direction anyway with car insurance AND we did already have medicare and medicaid. This reform does not seem like anything more than insurance reform and medicare/medicaid reform. It is not as radical as it could be: http://healthreform.kff.org/SubsidyCalculator.aspx The government subsidies are not even that good. People making around 30-50k still have to pay $200-300 a month for healthcare and now they are actually being FORCED to do it no matter what. The government will only help with $500 per year of that total bill. I am a conservative...BUT why is this so bad? Dont we really need healthcare reform because the way it is going it looks like in 10 more years nobody will be able to afford insurance period if things were left the way they were (it has gone up 100% in the last 10 years).

I am prescribed medication that requires a doc's visit once per 2 months to have it refilled (so need medication and decent office visit fees/co-pay). I know little to nothing about health insurance. I've always had it under mother's plan and through the university after that. So what's the best route to go? Private insurance even if its subject to a penalty? Or go with ObamaCare. I'd like to have my medication covered at least partially, doc's visits, protection for severe medical emergencies, and possibly dental. I don't want to pay an exorbitant amount, nor do I want to be locked into anything. Thanks for any help.""

What happens when fail to pay Car Insurance premium? Details Inside.?

Hello Friends, I know that failure to pay car insurance will lead to termination. What I basically want is to cancel the insurance, because I plan not to drive that car for few months to save on Insurance premium. My first question is do they allow termination for such reasons? and in case they don't allow that what would happen if I simply stop paying premium? But remember that I plan not to drive it for few months, so why I need insurance after all. What is the immediate consequence and what is the effect when I would like to drive that car again and want an insurance then? If it is of any relevance, my car is of New York. Please answer me. Thank you""

Do you think teen drivers are the only ones with trouble getting cheap car insurance?

There was mature man who was very successful in business. I think he was 35 or 40. He finally got his new drivers license and decided to buy a $90,000 car. He bought it for cash, to save on interest on the loan. When he tried to get insurance it was $10,000 a year for liability and collision insurance. He asked if he could return the car, but since it was no longer 'brand new' he would loose $10,000. If he kept it the insurance would be $30,000 for the first 3 years! He kept it.... too bad he didn't know anything about insurance before he bought it! He should have had a cheap car in his name with just liability insurance, for 3 years before he went out and bought his dream car. This would have created insurance history . That together with his over 25 years old status would have cut insurance expenses way way, down.""

Can I sue my Auto Insurance Company?

In 2005, as part of our divorce agreement, my ex and I decided to keep the same auto insurance but under separate policies. We had been with this company for years. My policy was on auto pay meaning that the payments were taken directly from my account. He walked in to pay his. About 6 months after the divorce, I was pulled over for a routine traffic stop and was told I was driving an uninsured vehicle. Without insurance, my registration was also invalid. Both tickets totaled 1K. My car was taken into impound. I checked and found the officer was correct. On good terms with my ex, I told him what happened. He said for the past 6 months, each time he went in to make a payment, the girl HIS was already paid. Realizing what had happened. They were applying my payments to his automobile. I was furious. I notified the agent who initially did not want to accept blame, but since the payments were automatic and my account number was on each payment they took, they were responsible. The error was compounded by the fact that the cancellation notice went to HIS address (how dumb was that!) So I had no way of knowing that I was cancelled. I was without a car for 2 weeks and lost my job. After much haggling and many sleepless nights of wondering what to do without a job or a car, the insurance company finally admitted blame, paid the impound fees of $1,250.00. The agent also said they would handle the 2 tickets totaling 1K. FAST FORWARD TO 2010 in my state, the county did a scofflaw sweep and I was summoned to court with over 5 thousand other delinquent drivers to address unpaid tickets. The order was come to court by April 30th or be arrested. Realizing this had to be a mistake, but fearful of the law, I stood in line for over 5 hours in blazing heat, then sat in court another 5 hours waiting for my day in court. I was immediately threatened with arrest because the 2 tickets were not paid. Up to that moment, I had no idea the insurance company had not paid the 2 tickets. This time, not only was my insurance and registration cancelled, my license was suspended due to the age of the infraction (5 years). In front of the judge, I called the agents' office only to be told by the secretary that they had no intention to pay the ticket. Paying to get the car out of impound was enough. When the judge heard this she was shocked and let me off with a promise to pay in 5 days. She made me promise not to drive. With no way to get home but drive, I took a chance, and was pulled over. The officer informed me that due to the vast number of outstanding cases, tags bearing our county name would be targeted for a while (talk about a police state!). I showed him my documents from the court and headed home. This is a nightmare. Would I have a case if I filed suit against my insurance company for failing in their fiduciary responsibility to a 16 year client in good standing? By the way this company is one of the largest in the country.""

Can my insurance company get away with this?

My payment was due November 20th and I sent the check on November 3rd.

Well, apparently my insurance company cashed the check and cancelled my insurance without letting me know. The only reason I know my insurance was cancelled is because the Charity returned my $300 check and thats when I realized my mistake. When I called my insurance, it was already cancelled 5 days prior and even though they cashed the $20 check, that wasnt even made out to them, they refused to reinstate my policy. I had to make a whole new policy and set up for them to take the money directly out of my checking account. My question is, is this fair? Did I just get screwed out of my money?""

Wanting to know 4 or 5 cars that you think are ideal for a 17 year to insure and be able to run?

How does arbitration work between 2 car insurance companies?

I was in a car accident about a month ago. My car insurance agreed that the accident was 100% not my fault. The other car insurance company is trying to say that it was 50% my fault( which is totally ridiculous because the other driver was cited by police for failure to yield). Today i got a phone call from my car insurance company saying that my claim is now going to arbitration. What can i expect to happen next? What can I do to prepare my self? I am very frustrated with this whole thing. I know this car accident was 100% not my fault. I dont want to be blaimed at all. I forgot to mention that i live in NY state. Thank you, Zack""

How much is insurance for young men drivers?

I want to get a new car and im 18 years old. My dad says he wont put me on his insurance if i buy a new car but insurance on a new car will be like $400 a month!!!! I have no accidents or tickets my record is clean. Is this normal? I dont live in a bad area and it is a convertible pontiac g6. ThanX

Eagles, Foles rally to stun Patriots in Super Bowl LII

Feb 4, 2018; Minneapolis, MN, USA; Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz (86) scores a touchdown over defender New England Patriots free safety Devin McCourty (32) during the fourth quarter in Super Bowl LII at U.S. Bank Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Brad Rempel-USA TODAY Sports – 10588477  (USA TODAY Sports)

This time, the New England Patriots were the victims of a Super Bowl comeback.

MVP Nick Foles threw for three touchdowns and caught another as the Eagles defeated the Patriots 41-33 in Super Bowl LII in Minneapolis on Sunday night to win the franchise’s first NFL championship since 1960.

President Donald Trump tweeted his congratulations soon after the game ended.

“Congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles on a great Super Bowl victory!,” the president wrote.

Congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles on a great Super Bowl victory!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 5, 2018

Patriots QB Tom Brady was undeniably brilliant, throwing for 505 yards — a Super Bowl record — and three touchdowns, but was strip-sacked by Brandon Graham with 2:09 to play.

The Patriots scored touchdowns on their first three second-half drives, rallying from a 29-19 deficit to take a 33-32 lead with 9:22 to play. But Foles led the Eagles on a 14-play, 75-yard drive capped by an 11-yard touchdown pass to Zach Ertz with 2:21 to play for the winning score.

Two plays later, Graham made one of the few standout defensive plays in a game dominated by offense.

Jake Elliott provided the final margin with a 46-yard field goal with 1:06 to play. Philadelphia pinned New England back on its own nine-yard line on the ensuing kickoff and Brady could move the Patriots only 40 of the required 91 yards as a final Hail Mary pass fell short.

The Eagles ran their run-pass option offense to perfection, racking up 538 yards on a Patriots defense that only forced them to punt once. New England recorded 613 yards of total offense and did not punt at all, but missed a field goal and an extra point and turned the ball over on downs in Philadelphia territory before Brady’s ill-timed fumble.

The Patriots defense appeared bamboozled by the Eagles run-pass option offense, never more so than on the final possession of the first half.

Having cut the Eagles’ lead to 15-12, New England forced Philadelphia into a third-and-three at their own 37-yard line and had the chance to give Brady the ball and an opportunity to tie the game or take the lead going into halftime.

But Foles had other ideas. He hit Corey Clement on a wheel route out of the backfield for 55 yards to put the ball at the Patriots 8-yard line. After moving the ball seven yards in three plays, head coach Doug Pederson went for the touchdown on fourth down. Clement handed the ball off to tight end Trey Burton, who flipped it to a wide-open Foles for the touchdown that made the score 22-12 Philadelphia.

The trick play was a mirror image of one New England did not execute earlier in the first half on what may have been their most costly possession. After forcing an Eagles punt and trailing 9-3 in the first quarter, Brady hit Brandin Cooks for 23 yards, but Cooks was blindsided by a legal Malcolm Jenkins hit and had to leave the game with a head injury.

Two plays later, on a third-and-five at the Philadelphia 35-yard line, Brady handed off to James White, who flipped the ball to Danny Amendola. Amendola aimed a pass at a wide-open Brady in the right flat, but the ball clanged off the tips of his quarterback’s fingers. The Patriots eschewed having Stephen Gostkowski attempt a 52-yard field goal and went for it on fourth down. Brady’s deep pass to Gronkowski fell incomplete along the left sideline and the Eagles took over.

Six plays later, Blount drove 22 yards to make the score 15-3 as Foles’ attempted two-point conversion pass to Jeffery fell incomplete.

Foles and the Eagles set the tone in the first quarter, scoring on each of their first two possessions. Off the opening kickoff, Foles lead the Eagles to the New England 2-yard line, but a false start penalty blunted their momentum and Philadelphia had to settle for a Jake Elliott field goal. Philadelphia was more successful on their second possession as Foles followed up a 36-yard LeGarrette Blount burst by hitting Alshon Jeffery with a 34-yard strike in the back of the end zone.

The Patriots could only look back with regret on their missed chances to add to their total. On their second possession, they passed up going for it on fourth-and-one to have Gostkowski attempt a 26-yard field goal. Punter Ryan Allen mishandled the snap from Joe Cardona, throwing off Gostkowski’s timing, and the attempt hit the left upright.

As could be expected, the Patriots appeared to shake off the blow of losing Cooks, scoring 10 points on their next two possessions. A 46-yard screen to Rex Burkhead set up a 45-yard Gostkowski field goal to pull New England within 15-6. Then, after Foles forced a deep throw to Jeffery that was intercepted by Duron Harmon, Brady engineered the Patriots’ best drive of the half.

Helped by a third-down holding call against Jalen Mills on Chris Hogan, New England went 90 yards in seven plays. After Brady hit Hogan with a 43-yard completion, James White – along with Brady, the hero of last year’s epic Super Bowl comeback against Atlanta – scampered 26 yards. Gostkowski’s rough night continued when he pulled the extra point to the left.

Chapter 9

In the morning Yoongi makes you a quick breakfast that is easy to eat on the go. He wasn’t joking when he said he wanted to get back to school as soon as possible. The two of you are some of the first students to arrive back. He doesn’t say much on the trip back, but you think it’s better that way.

As soon as you are settled into your room again you send a message to the group chat. Everyone should be back tonight and a kickback in someone’s dorm is so needed after the intensity of break. Yunjin quickly offers up her dorm saying she’ll prepare the snacks. Jimin and Taehyung promise some local brews from their hometowns.

While the rest of them plan and prepare for the night you head outside your dorm in search of a battle. A few students are milling around and more than happy to battle you. After going three for three you walk around campus feeling a sense of peace. You are safe here. When that bores you it’s time to travel down the numerous steps into town.

Yoongi is buying pokemon snacks from a vendor you were looking for. When he sees you approaching he says something to the worker and she hands over another treat. He pays then hands you the extra he bought. 

“I know it’s unreasonable to ask you to stay inside Mesagoza all the time.” Yoongi says once the two of you have sat down at a table far away from anyone else. “That would really stunt your training and mine. If you venture out into the woods just be on extra high alert. Okay?”

You call for Wooper, Bones, who eagerly waddles over once he’s free from his ball. As you unwrap the snack, you nod in agreement, absorbing Yoongi’s concern. 

“Thanks for the snack,” you say, breaking off a piece and offering it to Bones. He takes it without hesitation. Bones chomps it down happily. “I’ll be careful. I‘ve heard how dangerous Team Rocket can be.”

Yoongi feeds a piece to his own pokemon, his gaze soft and attentive. “I’ve heard some things, but nothing concrete. Obviously, what happened has put me on edge. I need you to be prepared for anything.”

“I’ll make sure to keep my guard up. I can handle whatever comes my way, and if something seems off, I’ll make sure to come back to campus immediately.”

Yoongi’s eyes meet yours, a hint of a smile tugging at his lips, “I know you can handle yourself, but I don’t want you to have to. Just…be cautious. I can’t let them take something else from me.”

With that, you both sit in silence for a moment, the weight of his words handing in the air. The bustling town around you feels distant, but the warmth of the snack and the support from Yoongi gives you reassurance. You finish up your conversation, grateful for the concern and ready to head back to the dorm. 

After sleeping for a few hours you head out once again to sneak in a little more training before you head to Yunjin’s down. As you make your way down the path towards the training grounds, eager to face more trainers, a familiar voice calls out to you.

“Out training again?”

You turn around to see Namjoon strolling towards you, hands tucked casually in his pockets, with that soft smile on his face that makes you question a lot of things. He looks relaxed, like he’s been spending the day reading or researching, typical Namjoon. The thought makes you grin. 

“Of course,” you reply with a smirk. “Got to keep my team in top shape. The tournament is coming up. What about you? Not out for a battle I assume.”

Namjoon chuckles, shaking his head. “I’m more interested in understanding them.” His eyes light up with that familiar spark of curiosity you’ve come to like. “Actually, I was working on a new genetic analysis for my research. It’s fascinating how certain traits pass down through generations of Pokemon. I’ve been looking at Eevee evolutions and how environmental factors influence their development. Have you ever thought about how much influence nature versus nurture has on Pokemon growth?”

You laugh softly, admiring his big brain. “You always come up with the most interesting stuff. Meanwhile, I’m just here thinking about how to get Bones to stop trying to eat every trainer’s shoe mid-battle.”

Namjoon laughs. “Well, that’s important too! Pokemon behavior is key. Plus, Bones just became your pokemon not too long ago. He has time to figure out his role on your team. I’m sure he’ll listen soon.”

You release Bones from his Pokéball, and as expected, your Wooper waddles over taking a curious sniff at Namjoon’s shoes. You wince, expecting the worst, but Namjoon kneels down and gently pats Bones on the head.

“See? He’s just curious,” Namjoon says softly, his tone calm and soothing. “I actually came out here to see if you wanted company while you train. I could watch, maybe help out with some recovery after your battles. I’ve been studying some new remedies.”

Your heart warms at the thought of spending more time with him. Namjoon might not battle much, but his presence is reassuring, and the way he cares for Pokémon is something you’ve always admired.

“I’d like that,” you say, trying to keep your voice steady. “It’s always nice having someone around who doesn’t want to jump into a battle every two seconds.”

Namjoon’s eyes crinkle with a smile. He knows all too well how the rest of your friend group is. Specifically Hiyyih, all she wants to do is battle whoever is closest to her lately. “Plus, I’ll keep Bones entertained between rounds. We don’t want him snacking on anyone’s shoes, right?”

You both laugh, and as you walk together toward the training grounds, you feel a comfortable warmth between you. His arm occasionally brushes against yours as you walk, and those tiny sparks of connection remind you just how close the two of you have become over the past few months. There’s an ease to your friendship, a natural chemistry that sometimes feels like it’s teetering on the edge of something more.

As you reach the field, a few trainers have already gathered, ready for battle. Namjoon finds a spot on the side, leaning against a fence as you prepare to face your next opponent.

“You got this,” he says, his voice filled with quiet encouragement. “I’ll be here if you need any post-battle healing tips.”

The battle goes by in a blur, your focus sharp and your Pokémon responding to every command with precision. Namjoon watches from the sidelines, occasionally taking notes, though his attention keeps drifting back to you. His calm presence makes you feel grounded, even as you’re locked in the intensity of the match.

After the battle, as you recall your Pokémon, Namjoon approaches, handing you a potion bottle. “You might want to apply this to Bones’ tail. He took a pretty hard hit out there.”

“Thanks,” you say, grateful for his sharp eye. As you crouch down to treat Bones, Namjoon kneels beside you, his shoulder brushing against yours. You can feel the warmth of him, close and steady, and for a moment, the world seems to narrow down to just the two of you.

“You’re really good at this,” he says softly, his voice barely above a whisper. “Not just the battling, but the way you care for them afterward.”

Your heart skips again, and you try to focus on Bones, but it’s impossible not to notice the way Namjoon’s gaze lingers on you a little longer than usual. You meet his eyes briefly, and there’s a moment—fleeting, but charged with something unspoken.

“Thanks,” you manage to say, feeling your cheeks heat up. “I just want to do right by them, you know?”

Namjoon smiles, and there’s something warm and reassuring in the way he looks at you. “You’re doing more than right by them. They’re lucky to have you.”

As you finish up, the two of you fall into step once again, heading back toward campus. The conversation flows easily, and despite everything weighing on your mind—Yoongi’s warning, the looming threat of Team Rocket—you find yourself enjoying the time with Namjoon. His presence feels like a safe space, and though you can’t talk about what’s really happening, for now, being here with him is enough.

As you part ways, with Namjoon offering a small wave and promising to see you at Yunjin’s later, you can’t help but wonder what this term is going to bring. Will you be able to balance it all?

════════════ ∘◦❀◦∘ ════════════

The warmth of Yunjin’s dorm room hits you the moment you step inside. The small space is already packed with familiar faces Jimin and Taehyung lounging on the floor, drinks in hand, while Hiyyih waves you over to where she’s perched on the bed. Namjoon is by the window, chatting with Chaewon, who’s wrapped in a cozy-looking sweater and sitting beside Yunjin. They’re leaning into each other, looking as comfortable as ever in their little corner of the room. You smile at the sight of them. Yunjin’s always had that calming aura, and it seems to bring out a softer side of Chaewon that not everyone gets to see.

“Hey, you made it!” Hiyyih grins, scooting over to make space for you. She immediately pulls you into the space, offering you a drink she must’ve snagged from the stash Jimin and Taehyung brought with them. “You ready to lose at some drinking games?”

“Is that a challenge?” You laugh, settling in beside her and taking a sip from your drink. “I haven’t lost yet.”

“Oh, is that so?” Taehyung calls from his spot, a mischievous glint in his eyes. “Then we better get started.”

Yunjin claps her hands, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “Alright, what should we play first? ‘Never Have I Ever’ or ‘Kings’?”

Jimin raises his drink in mock seriousness. “Both, obviously. We’ve got all night.”

Everyone laughs, and soon enough, the room is buzzing with conversation and the clinking of glasses. You lean back against the bed frame, your drink in hand, and glance over at Namjoon, who has quietly slipped into a seat next to you. His presence is steady as always, but every now and then, you catch his eyes drifting your way, the soft curve of a smile on his lips. It makes your heart do that little flutter again, the kind that you’ve been trying to ignore.

The first game starts off harmless, everyone who wasn’t with you in Kanto sharing stories about their winter breaks. Taehyung is talking about how he visited his grandparents in the countryside, and how he managed to get lost in the forest trying to find a “legendary Pokemon” that only he seemed to believe in. The room bursts into laughter when he admits it was just an old Pidgeotto perched on a tree. 

As the room fills with more stories of winter break, the drinks start to flow, and soon enough, the energy shifts into competitive fun. Yunjin suggests starting with “Never Have I Ever,” and everyone agrees, laughing as they prepare for the inevitable teasing.

“I’ll go first!” Taehyung says with a wicked grin. “Never have I ever…fallen asleep during a battle.”

Jimin groans, taking a gulp of his drink. “That was one time! I was exhausted.”

Everyone laughs as the game continues, the questions ranging from lighthearted to slightly scandalous. When it’s your turn, you glance around the room before saying, “Never have I ever…gotten lost in another region.” Namjoon takes a sip of his drink, a guilty smile spreading across his face. “Okay, that’s fair. I got lost in Kanto more than once when I ventured outside of my hometown.”

“That doesn’t surprise me,” you tease. “You are always so focused on your research.”

The playful banter continues, and the room is filled with laughter and warmth. Hiyyih leans into you, nudging your shoulder. “So, what was your favorite part of the Kanto trip?”

You pause for a moment, thinking about the trip. “Honestly, getting to train with the gym leaders was incredible. But the best part was probably seeing how much everyone’s grown. I feel like we all learned so much over break.”

“That’s true,” Namjoon says, leaning closer to you. “It was nice being out there together, working on what we’re passionate about.”

You meet his gaze, and for a brief moment, the room around you fades. There’s something about the way he’s looking at you that makes your heart skip a beat. You quickly look away, feeling the familiar flutter in your chest.

As the game moves on, the drinks keep flowing, and the stories grow bolder. Taehyung teases Jimin about getting too drunk in the Lavender Town tower and scaring himself with a ghost Pokémon. Hiyyih tries to get you to reveal more details about your time in Kanto, but you steer the conversation back toward the group, knowing you can’t share everything.

Taehyung smirks when it’s his turn and says something that is clearly trying to stir the pot. “Never have I ever…hooked up with an ex.”

Your stomach flips as you send daggers with your eyes towards Jimin. 

“Jimin!” You scold.

“YN, I didn’t tell him. He was trying to get me.” Jimin replies with a wicked grin. “But go ahead and expose yourself to everyone.”

Namjoon takes another drink and you follow suit. The man beside you looks lost in thought and you wonder if he’s preparing to answer questions from the rest of the room. Of course, you already know the truth, but you don’t think this is something he would offer up easily. 

Yunjin and Chaewon look deeply confused and a little hurt that you haven’t already shared this information with them. It’s not that you wouldn’t have told them. You just haven’t really had a moment to think about who might want to know this information. 

You start to offer the bare minimum of information when Namjoon grabs the bottle he was drinking from and stands up. He wobbles slightly and leaves Yunjin’s room without a word. Everyone in the room exchanges confused glances and Hiyyih nudges you. 

“Follow him.” She says.

On your way out the door you steal one of Yunjin’s hoodies. You race out of the building looking for Namjoon. It’s not until twenty minutes later that you find him on one of the battlefields. He is lying on his back looking up at the star filled sky. The bottle he was drinking is empty sitting near his feet. He sits up as you approach looking up at you with a goofy smile.

“Hi, cutie.” Namjoon greets waving his hand. 

“Hi, Joon.” You reply, taking a seat right in front of him. “Are you okay?”

“Yeah,” he says, dragging out the word. “It’s just a little tough hearing the person you like talk about another guy. I really like you and not a single one of the hints I’ve been dropping are landing, y’know?”

You feel your heart skip a beat because surely you heard him wrong. The casual way he says it is greatly contrasting with the weight of the confession. He is still smiling, but there’s a vulnerability in his eyes. Like he’s been waiting for this moment. His timing is kind of hilarious. Is he so nervous to confess that he had to wait until he is probably blacked out? You blink, your heart racing as your mind is screaming for you to stay calm. 

“Wait..what?” You ask, trying to keep your tone light.

Namjoon chuckles, swaying a bit as he sits up straighter. “Yeah, I like you. Really thought I was being pretty obvious, but you never notice. You’re so cute, though.” He leans forward slightly, his grin wide and unfiltered. “I even gave you snacks! Ones that took days to find. You’re so…amazing! Like, you don’t even get it. I’ve liked you basically since we first met. The way you’re so…determined. You care about people, and you never let anything stop you. I watch you with your friends and you always make everyone feel seen. You make me feel seen. You don’t even know how much that means.”

He pauses, his eyes unfocused for a moment before locking back onto yours. “And it’s not just that. You’re smart. And talented. And every time I see you, I get this stupid feeling in my chest because…because you make everything feel better. Even when I’m having the worst day.”

His voice softens, and you feel your heart pounding. “I’ve been trying to show you, but you don’t notice. I always try to find ways to be around you, or give you snacks when you look tired, or make excuses to talk to you, but…I guess I’ve just been too scared to say it out loud.”

You blink, the depth of his words hitting you all at once. He’s been carrying this with him, and even though he’s drunk, there’s a truth to what he’s saying that makes it hard to brush off. But you can’t ignore how intoxicated he is right now.

“Namjoon…” you say softly, reaching out to touch his arm gently. “You really like me?”

“Yeah, like a lot,” he murmurs, leaning forward slightly as if he’s trying to make sure you really hear him. “But it’s more than that. I admire you. You’re…you’re everything I want to be. Strong. Caring. And you don’t even know how incredible you are.”

You feel warmth spreading through your chest, but you know this isn’t the moment. He’s far too drunk to realize what he’s saying, and even though part of you wants to react, you need to hear this from him when he’s sober.

“I hear you, Joon,” you say gently. “But I want to talk about this when you’re sober, okay? I want to know you mean it.”

“I do mean it,” he says, his voice insistent but slurred. “But fine. Tomorrow. I’ll tell you again tomorrow.” His head tilts back, eyes drifting shut, his body swaying as he mumbles, “You’re the best thing in my life…”

You bite your lip, trying to figure out the best way to respond. Part of you wants to let your heart react, feel all the confusing things you’ve been feeling for weeks, but you know this isn’t the right moment. Not when he’s way drunker than you are. 

“Joon,” you say softly, placing a hand on his knee to steady him. “You’re really drunk.”

“So what? I’m being honest,” he says, opening his eyes and matching your soft tone despite the state he’s in. “I like you, and I’ve been trying to tell you…but you don’t even see me like that.”

You sigh, your heart aching at how sincere he seems despite his inebriated state. You know you’ll have to bring this up again when he’s sober, when the words won’t be clouded by alcohol.

“I hear you, Namjoon,” you say gently, leaning in a little. “But I want to hear this when you’re sober, okay?”

He blinks slowly, processing your words. “Sober?” he mumbles, confused. “But I’m telling you now…”

“I know and if you remember this tomorrow I’ll buy you boba.” You offer a small smile. “If you don’t remember this then we’ll have this conversation again while you buy me boba. I have to hear it again when you’re not drunk so I know it's real.”

“It’s real. I’m going to remember this.”

After a few minutes of silence, you help him stand and ask him to text you that he will buy you boba if he doesn’t remember this conversation. That way you can’t chicken out because he will see the text message in the morning whether you want to have the conversation or not. 

Namjoon stumbles a little, but you steady him, making sure he doesn’t fall. His arm wraps around your shoulders, his body heavy against yours as you walk him back towards his dorm. You try to keep the mood light despite the confession swirling around in your head.

Once you reach his door, Namjoon pulls out his keys, fumbling with them before he finally gets the door open. He leans against the frame for support, looking at you with soft eyes. “You’re really amazing, you know that?”

You give a small smile, brushing a piece of hair out of his face. “Thanks, Joonie. But I think you need to get some sleep, okay? I’m gonna head back now.”

He frowns, his lips pouting as he leans forward slightly. “Can’t you come inside? Just for a little bit?”

You shake your head, firm but gentle. Part of you wants to laugh at his confidence, but you know in any other situation you would probably be folding. “No, not tonight. You need to rest, and I need you to promise me something.”

Namjoon blinks, confused. “Promise?”

You reach out your hand, pinky extended. “You’re not going to leave your room until morning, okay? Pinky promise me.”

He looks at your hand, then back at you before hooking his pinky with yours. You can’t help but gawk at how tiny your hand looks next to his. “I pinky promise,” he mumbles, though his tone is more playful than serious. You give his pinky a squeeze before letting go. 

Then, there’s a pause. A moment where his gaze lingers on you, and you can see the question forming in his head before he even speaks. “Can I kiss you?”

Your heart jumps at the request, but you quickly shake your head, giving him a soft, almost teasing smile. “Not right now. Don’t you want to remember the first time we kiss?”

Namjoon’s pout deepens, his shoulders slumping a little. “But I wanna know how you feel.”

You place your hands on his biceps, giving him a reassuring squeeze. “Maybe we can make that happen. But not tonight, okay? Let’s save that for when you can actually remember it.”

He huffs but eventually nods, accepting your decision. There’s a moment of quiet before he opens his arms, gesturing for a hug. You step forward, wrapping your arms around him in a long, tight embrace. His arms close around you, and for a few seconds, the world feels like it’s just the two of you. It's quiet and still. 

When you finally pull away, Namjoon looks at you with sleepy eyes, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips. “Okay. Tomorrow then.”

“Tomorrow,” you promise softly. You give him one last look, making sure he’s steady before taking a step back. 

As the door closes you let out a deep breath, your heart still pounding from everything that just happened. Tomorrow. You’ll figure it out tomorrow.

As you walk away from Namjoon’s door, the weight of the night’s events hits you all at once. Your heart races, and your mind feels like it’s spinning. Namjoon likes you, he likes you, and not in the casual, friendly way you’ve always assumed. He wants to kiss you. He’s made it clear that his feelings go beyond friendship, and now…what does that mean for you?

You continue walking aimlessly through campus, the crisp night air doing little to clear the confusion in your head. You do like Namjoon, of course you do, he’s becoming one of your closest friends, and you’ve always been drawn to him in ways you couldn’t fully explain. His kindness, his intelligence, the way he’s always so thoughtful and gentle. But until tonight, you hadn’t been forced to confront just how deep those feelings might run.

Part of you wants to run back to his door, to kiss him and let the warmth of his affection wash over you. But another part of you…another part of you is scared. Scared of what happens if you cross that line. Scared of losing the balance you’ve built in your friendship. And there’s Yoongi.

Your thoughts flicker back to the nights you spent together, to the way Yoongi had made you feel. That raw, unspoken tension between you two—the way he’d held you, touched you. There’s no denying that something is still brewing between you and Yoongi, too, something equally complicated and confusing. But it’s different with him. It’s familiar and easy, but the two of you broke up for a reason.

You stop walking, standing beneath a streetlight, its glow casting long shadows on the pavement. What are you even doing? How can you untangle these feelings when you don’t even know what you want? Do you want Namjoon’s steady, dependable love, or are you chasing something comfortable with Yoongi? Or maybe, it’s not about choosing at all—maybe you’re just not ready to define anything yet. You don't know. Not now.

Your phone buzzes in your pocket, and you pull it out to see a text from Namjoon. Just a simple, Goodnight. Talk tomorrow?

You smile faintly at the message. He’s always so considerate, even when he’s clearly just as confused as you are. You text him back a quick, Goodnight before putting your phone away. You’ll figure things out in the morning.

But right now, you can’t. You need a distraction. A reprieve from all the conflicting emotions swirling inside you.

Before you realize what you’re doing, your feet start carrying you in a familiar direction. Toward Yoongi’s dorm.

You tell yourself it’s just for comfort, that you need a safe space to think without the pressure of figuring everything out all at once. But deep down, you know that’s only half the truth. Yoongi has always been a safe haven for you. His calm, quiet presence somehow grounds you even when your world feels like it’s spinning out of control. Yet there’s something undeniably tempting about the way he makes you feel, something that pulls you toward him even when you’re not sure it’s a good idea.

════════════ ∘◦❀◦∘ ════════════

You walk down the hallway toward Yoongi’s dorm. As you reach Yoongi’s door and raise your hand to knock, the door swings open and Jungkook comes out, earbuds in, a bottle of water in his hand. 

He pauses when he sees you. “Oh, hey,” he says, flashing a quick smile before he glances down the hallway, seemingly in a rush. “Yoongi is inside. Have fun!” He gives a small wave and practically scurries off before you can respond. 

Jungkook disappears down the hall and a moment later, Yoongi’s familiar face appears in the doorway. His expression softens when he sees you, concern flickering in his eyes as he steps aside to let you in. 

“Come in,” he says quietly, his tone gently but observant. “Everything okay?”

You step inside, taking in the comforting surroundings of his dorm. It’s dimly lit, and a soft hum of music plays in the background, making the space feel safe. You shake your head slightly, offering a small, tired smile. 

“I just…need a distraction.” you admit, trying to keep your voice steady.

Yoongi closes the door behind you and motions for you to sit on the couch, but you ignore it, making your way to his bed instead. You collapse face down onto the soft mattress, the coolness of his sheets pressing gently against your cheek. The familiarity of it, grounds you in a way nothing else can right now. You let out a sigh, as if the bed itself is absorbing some of the tension you’ve been holding onto. 

Yoongi watches you for a moment, his lips twitching in what you think might be a small smile. He sits on the edge of the bed, his body close but not imposing, giving you the space to breathe. 

“So, what’s really going on?” he asks, his voice low and calm. “What would make you feel better?”

Lying face down in his bed, inhaling the familiar scent of him on the pillow, your mind races for something to say. But instead of rational words, something else slips out. You mumble into the pillow, “Your dick.”

For a split second, there's silence, and then Yoongi lets out a low chuckle. “My dick, huh?” He sounds amused, but there’s a slight edge of curiosity in his tone.

You lift your head just enough to meet his gaze, heat rising in your cheeks. “Yeah,” you mutter, a little less playful, a little more honest. “I need a distraction, and that sounds like a good one right now.”

Yoongi’s eyes darken slightly, his amusement replaced with something more serious. He studies your face for a moment, searching for any hesitation. “You sure that’s what you want?”

You sink deeper into Yoongi’s bed, the familiar smell of his sheets soothing you in a way you hadn’t expected. But beneath the comfort, a different kind of tension hums in the background—one you’ve been trying to ignore. Maybe it’s the warmth of his presence next to you, the way his body leans close but not quite touching yours. 

“I just need a distraction,” you mumble again, but this time, your voice is quieter, more vulnerable. You’ve been carrying the weight of tonight, and as much as you told yourself you just needed to escape your thoughts, you realize there’s something more simmering underneath.

Yoongi looks at you for a long moment, his eyes searching yours as if he can see what’s going on behind your flippant comments. The chuckle from before fades, replaced by a stillness, a seriousness that makes your pulse quicken.

He leans in just a little closer, his fingers grazing your arm in the most casual, effortless way, but it sends a shiver down your spine. “Are you sure that’s all you need?” he asks, his voice lower, more deliberate now. 

You turn your head to the side, meeting his gaze from where you’re still lying face down on his bed. There’s a flicker of something in his eyes, something that matches the heat building between you. The tension is thick now, and for a split second, you feel like you’re standing on the edge of something, the next move up to you.

“No,” you whisper, your voice barely audible, but it’s enough.

Yoongi’s eyes darken as he processes your words, and before you can second guess yourself, he shifts closer, his hand moving to your back, fingers tracing lightly over the fabric of your shirt. His touch is soft, teasing, but it’s enough to make your breath hitch.

“You sure about this?” he murmurs, his lips now just inches from your ear.

You nod, barely trusting your voice to respond. “I want you.”

There’s no hesitation after that. Yoongi’s hand slips lower, sliding under your shirt, his touch warm against your skin. He leans down, his lips brushing the back of your neck, sending a jolt of electricity through you.

“You know what you’re asking for, right?” he whispers, his voice rougher now, more demanding.

You turn slightly, enough to meet his gaze, your body buzzing with anticipation. “I know exactly what I’m asking for,” you murmur, your heart pounding as you close the distance between you, your lips brushing his in a way that’s slow, deliberate, and full of heat.

Yoongi responds instantly, the kiss deepening as his hands explore your body, pulling you closer, his intentions clear in every touch.

Yoongi’s hands slide over your waist, fingers pressing into your skin with a grip that feels like both a promise and a test of control. The kiss grows deeper, more urgent, his mouth moving against yours as if he’s been holding back for far too long. You feel the weight of him above you, his body aligning with yours as his hands continue their exploration, skimming over the curve of your hips, your back arching slightly under his touch.

You shift under him, turning onto your back, and Yoongi’s eyes meet yours again, the heat between you practically crackling. His hand moves to cup your cheek, thumb brushing over your bottom lip, and the way he’s looking at you makes your breath catch.

“This what you need?” he murmurs, his voice low, rough with desire, but still holding that edge of control.

You nod, not trusting yourself to speak, but your hands move to tug at his shirt, pulling him down toward you. He obliges, his mouth returning to yours, kissing you deeper, harder this time. His hand slips beneath your shirt again, fingers tracing over your skin, finding every sensitive spot that makes you shiver.

You let out a soft sound against his lips, your body responding to every touch, every kiss, as if he’s the only thing grounding you. The way his body presses against yours is intoxicating, and you can feel his want as he kisses down the side of your neck, his lips leaving a trail of fire in their wake.

“Yoongi…” you breathe, your fingers threading through his hair as he continues his slow, deliberate descent, his mouth exploring, tasting, leaving no part of you untouched. Your body is buzzing with anticipation, heat pooling low in your stomach as his hands move lower, teasing at the waistband of your pants.

He pauses, his eyes locking with yours again, the question unspoken but clear.

You nod, your heart pounding in your chest. “I need this. I need you.”

That’s all it takes. Yoongi’s hands move swiftly, expertly, pulling your pants down, the cool air hitting your skin before his touch is on you again, warm, insistent. He leans down, his lips brushing your ear as he whispers, “I’ll take care of you.”

Yoongi's words send a shiver down your spine, his voice deep and filled with intent. His hands move with purpose now, every touch igniting something inside you. His lips press to your skin, working their way from your ear to your collarbone, leaving a trail of heat that has you arching into him, craving more.

You gasp as his hand slips between your thighs, fingers tracing lightly over you, teasing but not yet giving you what you need. The tension is unbearable, and your breath comes out in short, shaky bursts as his lips find yours again, kissing you with a newfound intensity. It’s slow and deliberate, his tongue sliding against yours in a way that makes your entire body thrum with desire.

You grip his shoulders, your fingers digging into him as you push your hips up toward his hand, silently begging for more. He chuckles softly against your mouth, sensing your need, but instead of giving in immediately, he keeps the pressure light, his fingers barely grazing you, making you whimper in frustration.

“Patience,” he whispers, his lips brushing yours as he speaks. “I’m going to take my time with you.”

His words send another jolt of electricity through you, and despite the aching need building inside you, you can’t help but want to surrender to him, to let him have complete control. He knows exactly what he’s doing, and the way he’s dragging this out is both maddening and exhilarating.

Yoongi finally presses his fingers more firmly against you, his thumb circling in slow, deliberate motions, and you moan softly, your body arching off the bed. The pleasure builds quickly, like a wave threatening to crash over you, and you cling to him, your breath coming in desperate, shallow gasps.

Yoongi’s fingers slow, then stop completely, and you whimper at the sudden loss of contact, your body aching for more. He leans back slightly, his dark eyes watching you carefully, lips curling into a teasing smile. His touch lingers just out of reach, hovering, close enough to drive you crazy but not enough to satisfy. 

“I think you’re avoiding something,” he says softly, his voice low and controlled, but his hands are still. Deliberately still. “Why do you need a distraction?”

You squirm beneath him, hoping to regain the pressure, but his hands don’t move, and it’s really infuriating. Your breath catches in your throat, and for a second, you’re tempted to dodge the question, to stay lost in the heat of this moment. 

But Yoongi doesn’t let you off the hook. His thumb brushes against your thigh lightly, a small reminder of what you’re missing, and then he pulls his hand back altogether. “You’re not getting any more until you tell me,” he murmurs, his eyes flashing with amusement but with a hint of something deeper. Concern. 

You groan, pressing your palms against the bed, trying to fight the frustration bubbling inside you. He is going to be the end of you. “Yoongi, come on—”

“No.” he interrupts, leaning down, his lips so close you can feel his breath against your neck. It takes everything inside you not to just kiss him. “Talk to me. What happened? Why are you needing this…distraction so badly?”

His words make your stomach twist, and you bite your lip, debating whether you want to open up or not. His hands move to your hips, holding you in place but not doing anything further. The weight of his question hands in the air, and despite the heat between you, you realize that’s really not going to let you escape this conversation. 

You swallow hard, your heart pounding for a different reason now. “It’s…complicated.”

He raises an eyebrow, his fingers tightening slightly around your hips, reminding you of what’s at stake. “I’ve got time,” he says quietly, his tone soft but firm. “But you’re not getting what you want until you give me something.”

“Fucking the girl you love isn’t enough?” You ask looking into his eyes. When he doesn’t respond you close your eyes, taking a deep breath. Yoongi’s always been able to read you, and now that he’s calling you out, there’s no use hiding.

“It’s Namjoon,” you finally say, your voice quieter than you intended. “He…he said some things tonight. Stuff I wasn’t really ready to hear. Stuff I don’t know how to respond to.”

Yoongi’s grip on you loosens slightly, his eyes softening as he listens. When he speaks his voice is cautious. “What kind of things?”

You sigh, feeling your chest tighten as you recall the confession. “He told me he likes me. Has for a while, apparently. He was drunk, so I didn’t take it too seriously, but it kind of threw me. He’s…so sweet, and I care about him a lot, but I just don’t know what to say.”

Yoongi is quiet for a moment, processing your words. His gaze never leaves your face, and you can feel his focus shifting from the playful teasing to something more serious. 

“And you’re here because…?” he prompts, his fingers tracing light patterns on your skin now, but still holding back.

“Because I don’t know what to do with it,” you admit, frustration creeping into your voice. “I don’t want to sit with those feelings. I don’t want to deal with the confusion. I just want something to make it all go away for a little while.”

His thumb brushes gently against your most sensitive area, but still he doesn’t fully give in. His lips twitch into a knowing smile. “So you came to me,” he says, his voice laced with amusement but also a hint of something more—something softer.

“Yeah,” you whisper, your voice barely audible. “I came to you.”

For a long moment, Yoongi says nothing. His fingers finally resume their slow teasing movements. You shiver at the contact, but his eyes stay locked down on yours, studying you. 

“You know I’m not just a distraction, right?” His voice is gentle, but there’s a weight behind his words.

You nod slowly, your heart racing. “I know.”

“Good,” he murmurs, finally pressing his lips to your neck, the warmth of his breath making your body arch into him. “Because I’m not going to let you run from this. Not from Namjoon, and not from me.”

With renewed purpose, Yoongi reminds you just why you came back to him. Yoongi’s words linger in the air as his hand moves with more intent now, reigniting the fire he had purposefully held back. You tremble under his touch, your mind momentarily distracted from the swirling thoughts about Namjoon, the tension between you, and everything that has been weighing you down. He's not letting you lose yourself entirely, not like you want to.

His lips are at your ear now, soft and deliberate. "You know, you're going to have to deal with this at some point," he murmurs, his breath warm against your skin. "I’ll give you what you need tonight, but you don’t get to run away forever."

Your heart pounds as you try to focus on the sensations, but his words cut through the haze, leaving you raw and exposed. It’s not just physical, not with him. Yoongi’s always had a way of getting under your skin, seeing past the walls you put up. And right now, he’s stripping you of every excuse, forcing you to confront the reality you want to avoid.

"Yoongi, I…" you start, your voice catching as his fingers press into you in a way that makes it hard to concentrate. But he doesn’t let you finish.

"Shh," he whispers, his lips trailing along your neck, making you shiver. "You don’t have to explain anything to me right now."

His hand moves faster, the pace enough to make your body react instinctively, your breath coming out in ragged gasps as you struggle to hold onto anything but the heat building inside you. But Yoongi isn’t just offering you a distraction, he’s pulling something deeper from you. The more he touches you, the more he reminds you of the things you’ve been burying for too long. It’s hard to remember why you don’t want him back when he makes you feel so good. 

"You came to me because you trust me," he says softly, his voice like a dark promise. "You know I’m not going to let you off easy. Not when it comes to this."

You nod, your body trembling under him as you fight to keep up with the intensity of it all. "I know," you whisper, barely able to find the words.

And in that moment, Yoongi’s hand stills again, hovering on the edge of giving you what you so desperately need, but just barely holding back. You whimper, your frustration mixing with desire as you look up at him, pleading silently.

"Do you?" he asks, his voice teasing but his eyes serious. "Because I need you to understand that I’m not just your escape. This—" he gestures between the two of you, his touch brushing your skin again, "—isn’t just about tonight. I know I said I could be whatever you want, but I think I should have a little more self respect."

You swallow, the weight of his words hitting you in a way that’s impossible to ignore. "I know," you repeat, your voice steadier now. "It’s not just about tonight."

Yoongi's gaze softens, a small smile playing at his lips as he leans in, pressing a gentle kiss to your lips. It’s different this time, not rough or demanding, but slow and meaningful, as if he’s grounding you in the moment, reminding you of the connection between you. Part of you wishes you could forgot the deep connection the two of you share and just let him fuck your brains out. 

Then, without another word, his hand moves again, this time with no hesitation. The pace quickens, and you feel yourself unraveling beneath him, the tension finally breaking as you gasp his name, your body giving in to everything you’ve been holding back.

Yoongi stays close, his movements controlled but unrelenting, guiding you through the waves of pleasure that crash over you. And when it’s over, when your body is spent and your breath comes in shallow, ragged bursts, Yoongi pulls you into his arms, holding you against him as you come back down from the high.

For a while, neither of you speaks. The room is quiet, the only sound is your slowing breath and the faint hum of the music in the background. Yoongi’s arms are secure around you, his presence a steady anchor in the aftermath of everything that’s just happened.

════════════ ∘◦❀◦∘ ════════════

The next morning, you wake up to soft sunlight streaming through the curtains of your room, casting a warm glow on everything it touches. You blink a few times, disoriented at first. Anxiety comes rushing at you as you recall the events of last night.

You sit up, rubbing your eyes, and your mind immediately floods with last night: Namjoon’s drunken confession, Yoongi’s steady presence. The tangled web of feelings and uncertainty you sort of successfully avoid dealing with for one night are now front and center.

Groaning softly, you reach for your phone on the nightstand. You have a couple missed messages. One is from Yoongi, making sure you got back safely, another from Hiyyih asking where the hell you went, and one more from Namjoon. 

Namjoon: Good morning YN. Guess I owe you some boba? I don’t really remember much from last night, but I feel like I need to apologize for something…did I say something weird?

You stare at the message for a long moment, biting your lip. He doesn’t remember. Or at least, he thinks he doesn’t. You knew this conversation was coming, but you were hoping to have more time to prepare yourself. Maybe you should have done that last night instead of hopping in your ex’s bed. Namjoon’s message is the perfect opening, but it also makes your stomach twist with nerves. 

Do you tell him everything now? How honest should you be? Or do you wait until you see him in person?

With a sigh, you start typing

You: We definitely need to talk. Do you want to meet up later? I think there’s a conversation we need to finish.

You hit send before you can second guess yourself. There’s no point dragging this out any longer. As you wait for his reply, you push the blankets off and get out of bed, heading to the bathroom to splash some water on your face. The cool water helps clear your head, but the knot of tension in your stomach remains.

By the time you’re back at your bed, Namjoon has replied. 

Namjoon: Yeah, I figured. How about lunch? We can meet at the cafe on campus.

It feels like a good place to start, a neutral space where you can talk things out without too much pressure. 

You: sounds good. I’ll see you there at noon

With that settled, you check the time. It’s still early, but the rest of your day feels like a countdown to the inevitable conversation. You grab your things and decide to take a walk around campus, hoping the fresh air will help ease your mind. 

As you walk through the quiet campus, memories of last night come back in flashes. Yoongi’s gentle touch, his careful questions, the way he could see right through you. You wonder if you should tell him about the meeting with Namjoon later, if he’d want to know.

For now, you decide to keep it to yourself. There's no need to overcomplicate things until you have a clearer understanding of where your head's at. What would even be gained from telling Yoongi that? He might comfort you but wouldn’t it only hurt him to hear about Namjoon?

When noon finally rolls around, you find yourself standing outside the cafe. Your heart races as you spot Namjoon sitting at a table near the window, his head bent over his phone, clearly waiting for you. He’s got that nervous energy about him, the same kind of energy that was there last night when he drunkenly confessed. You smile to yourself, knowing that things are about to get interesting.

“Hey, Joon.” you say with a smile, trying to lighten the mood as you sit down on the seat in front of him.

Namjoon’s head snaps up, his eyes wide for a moment. A small, bashful smile spreads across his face, and you can see the relief wash over him. “Oh, hey. Sorry, I was just…thinking.”

You raise an eyebrow. “Thinking about how you drunkenly confessed your feelings to me last night?”

His smile drops, replaced by sheer panic. “Wait, I…I did?”

You nod, biting back a laugh. “Oh yeah. Told me everything. How you’ve liked me for ages, how you admire me, how you think I’m amazing…” You trail off, watching his face slowly turn from pale to bright red.

Namjoon covers his face with his hands, groaning. “Oh god, no. Please tell me I didn’t say anything too embarrassing.”

You lean back in your chair, crossing your arms with a teasing smile. “Depends on how you define embarrassing. But you did make a deal with me.”

He peeks through his fingers. “A deal?”

“Yeah.” You smirk. “If you didn’t remember confessing, you’d owe me boba.”

Namjoon pulls out his phone, scrolling through the messages from last night. His eyes widen when he sees the proof. “Oh no. I really said that, didn’t I?”

“Mhm,” you hum, nodding. “So, I’m thinking you owe me that boba.”

He lets out a breath, laughing at his own expense, but there’s a nervousness behind it. “Okay, okay, fair enough. But…do we need to talk about it? About what I said?”

You pause, the weight of his question settling between you two. It’s tempting to keep the mood light, to just brush it off like you have before, but the truth is…you’ve been thinking about it too. Not just about Namjoon, but about Yoongi, about how your feelings are all tangled up right now. You care about both of them, but you haven’t figured out what any of it means yet.

You sigh softly, leaning forward on the table. “Honestly, Joon? I’m still trying to figure out how I feel. About you…about everything.” You look down at the table, fiddling with your fingers. “Last night, it kind of threw me.”

Namjoon stays quiet, letting you have the space to speak, but you can see the tension in his shoulders, like he’s bracing himself for whatever you’re going to say next.

You take a deep breath. “I wasn’t expecting you to say all that, you know? And I care about you, I really do, but I don’t want to rush into something just because I feel pressure to give you an answer right now.”

Namjoon nods slowly, his face softening with understanding. “I get that. I didn’t mean to put pressure on you, especially not when I was drunk. I just…I couldn’t keep it in anymore.”

You smile a little at that. “Yeah, I kind of figured, but Joon, I want to take my time with this. I don’t want to mess anything up between us.”

He nods again, his shoulders relaxing just a bit. “I don’t want that either. I’d rather you take the time you need than feel like you have to give me an answer right away.”

There’s a moment of silence between you, but it’s not uncomfortable. It’s like a mutual understanding has settled in. Namjoon’s willing to give you the space you need, and you’re grateful for it.

“Thanks, Joon,” you say quietly, offering him a soft smile. “For understanding.”

“Of course,” he replies, his voice just as gentle. “I’ll be here whenever you’re ready.”

You nod, feeling the weight in your chest lift slightly. “And, you know…you’re still buying me boba, right?”

Namjoon laughs, the tension finally breaking. “Yeah, I haven’t forgotten.”

As you both stand to leave, Namjoon walks beside you, the easy, comfortable vibe between you two returning. But underneath it all, you know things are shifting. Your feelings for Namjoon are there, but what you do about that is still up in the air. And there’s Yoongi… his quiet presence, the way he’s always there when you need him. But is it healthy to keep going back to someone just because it’s easy?

You’re not sure what the future holds with either of them, but for now, you’re okay with letting things unfold at their own pace. 

You and Namjoon make your way to his favorite boba place, the tension from earlier replaced by a lighter mood. It feels good to have cleared the air, but there’s still a nagging feeling in the back of your mind about last night. As you walk beside him, you decide to bring it up.

“So,” you start, glancing over at him. “There’s one more thing you might not remember from last night.”

Namjoon raises an eyebrow, curiosity piqued. “Oh no, what now?”

You smirk, finding his reaction endearing. “Well, after you confessed…you also asked for a kiss.”

Namjoon stops dead in his tracks, his eyes wide with disbelief. “Wait—what? I-I asked for a kiss?”

You nod, your smirk widening as his face goes from surprise to sheer mortification. “You sure did, Joon. Drunk you is really bold.”

He groans, running a hand through his hair. “I really don’t remember any of that. What did you say? Did I—?”

You shake your head, cutting him off before his thoughts spiral too far. “I didn’t kiss you. You were not in the right state of mind for that. I told you we’d talk about it when you were sober.”

Namjoon lets out a huge breath, visibly relieved. “Okay, that’s good. I mean, not that I don’t want to kiss you, but…” His voice trails off, and he clears his throat awkwardly. “You know what I mean.”

You chuckle softly, appreciating how flustered he is. “Yeah, I know.”

He’s quiet for a moment as you both continue walking. You can sense he’s thinking hard about something, and before you reach the boba shop, he speaks up again. “I’m really sorry about all that, YN. I didn’t want to make things awkward or uncomfortable between us.”

You glance at him, his sincere expression making your heart soften. “It’s okay, Namjoon. It wasn’t uncomfortable, just took me by surprise.” You offer him a reassuring smile. “Like I said earlier, I’m glad you told me. I wouldn’t have figured it out otherwise. Even if it wasn’t exactly how you wanted to tell me.”

Namjoon laughs nervously. “Yeah, definitely not how I planned it. But thank you for understanding.”

You finally reach the boba place, and as you stand in line, the conversation flows more naturally. Namjoon is back to usual self, cracking jokes and making light conversation. But now, there’s an unspoken understanding between you. You’re both taking things slow, figuring out your feelings as they come. 

As you take your first sip of your drink, Namjoon smiles at you. His dimples are on full display making your heart flutter. “So, what do you think? Does this boba make up for the whole drunken confession?”

You tilt to head to the side pretending to consider. “Hmm, it’s a start, but I think you’re going to need to buy me a few more drinks before we’re even.”

Namjoon laughs, shaking his head. “Deal. I’ll buy you boba every day if that’s what it takes.”

════════════ ∘◦❀◦∘ ════════════

Later, you find a cozy spot under a large oak tree, where you sit on the grass and talk about everything from classes to future plans.

“So, have you thought more about the winter tournament?” Namjoon asks, his expression serious yet encouraging as he leans back on his elbows, gazing up at you.

“Yeah, I’ve been thinking a lot about it,” you admit, fiddling with the grass. “I’m nervous but excited. It feels like such a big deal this year.”

Namjoon nods, his face lit up with interest. “You’ve trained hard for this. I know you’re going to do great. Just focus on what you can control.”

“Thanks, Joon. It means a lot to have your support,” you reply, smiling back at him.

The afternoon passes quickly as you explore, visiting various shops and grabbing a few snacks along the way. The more time you spend together, the more relaxed you feel. There’s something comforting about having him around, even amidst the chaos of your feelings.

Eventually, the sun begins to set, casting a beautiful orange glow over the courtyard next to the dorms. You can hear laughter and chatter from nearby students winding down their day. After grabbing a few drinks from a nearby stand, you both find a bench to sit on, enjoying the cooling evening air.

“This was a really nice day,” Namjoon says, looking content. “I’m glad we got to hang out like this.”

“Me too,” you reply, feeling a mix of happiness and something deeper simmering beneath the surface. 

As you reach the entrance of Namjoon’s building, you hesitate. Namjoon looks at you with a curious expression, sensing your internal struggle. 

“Are you sure you don’t want to come inside? We can study together.” he suggests, his voice warm and encouraging. 

You smile at him, appreciating the offer, but you shake your head. You aren’t sure your self control will remain strong in the walls of his bedroom. “I think I’m going to stay out here a little while.”

Namjoon nods, understanding. “Alright. Just text me if you need anything, okay?”

He gives you one last reassuring smile before turning to head back in, leaving you alone in the soft glow of the courtyard lights. You take a deep breath, the cool evening air refreshing against your skin. You sit back on the bench, letting your thoughts drift as you watch the stars slowly begin to twinkle in the night sky. It’s so peaceful here.

════════════ ∘◦❀◦∘ ════════════

On Tuesday when the Oak’s Club meeting has concluded Professor Oak asks you and Yoongi to stay back. Neither of you have any idea what this is about. Namjoon and Jimin raise an eyebrow but leave, promising to catch up later. 

“I would like to be the first to congratulate both of you on being chosen for the winter tournament.” Professor Oak says, and your chest fills with pride. Yoongi looks over at you the same moment you look at him and the two of you lock eyes. Excitement is taking over every part of both of you. “This year is going to be a bit different than previous years. You have worked so hard and we want there to be maximum support. Tomorrow morning each of the sixteen trainers chosen for the winter tournament will receive a text message telling them to meet at a photo studio in town. There the rest of the trainers will be told they were chosen and there will be a photoshoot.”

The excitement still pulses in your chest, but it’s hard to ignore Yoongi’s discomfort as Professor Oak continues.

“A photoshoot, though?” Yoongi mutters, fidgeting with the hem of his jacket. “Seems unnecessary.”

You nudge him playfully. “Come on, this is huge! We’re about to compete for the chance to represent Paldea University against the gym leaders. People are going to want to know who the top trainers are. The more advertising we do, the bigger the crowd, the more support we get when we win.”

Yoongi rolls his eyes but there’s a hint of a smile. “It’s still about battling for me. All this extra stuff feels like a distraction.”

Professor Oak chuckles, clearly enjoying the exchange. “That’s the spirit, YN! Though I assure you both, this year’s tournament is going to be bigger than ever. The whole school is buzzing about it, even if they don’t know why yet. I want the two of you to be ready for the spotlight.”

You can feel the weight of what’s ahead. The winter tournament isn’t just about winning a trophy—it’s about earning the honor of representing Paldea University in the prestigious challenge against the gym leaders. Sixteen of the best trainers on campus, but only two will get that honor. Not to mention the $7,000 and baskets full of top of the line pokemon equipment. The stakes have never felt higher.

"Any other surprises we should expect?" you ask, sensing there might be more.

Professor Oak taps his chin thoughtfully but doesn’t reveal much. “Let’s just say this tournament could open doors for both of you. Opportunities beyond Paldea. Sponsors, League scouts—there’s a lot of interest this year. You two have been recommended by staff members for a reason. You’ve shown incredible battling capability, and now it’s your time to prove it.”

You exchange a look with Yoongi. His usual nonchalant demeanor has shifted into something more focused, like he’s beginning to see just how important this tournament is. It’s not just about bragging rights—it’s about proving yourself worthy of facing the gym leaders. Technically, other students can still try, but if they can’t even defeat their peers, what chance do they have against the gym leaders?

"Careers?" Yoongi repeats, his tone more serious now.

Professor Oak nods. “If you impress the right people, there’s no telling where this could lead. But for now, focus on the battles ahead and tomorrow’s photoshoot. Friday, the school will meet their top trainers.”

As you leave the room, the magnitude of the challenge settles in. Yoongi walks beside you, quiet but clearly thinking.

“So...tomorrow, huh?” Yoongi finally says, breaking the silence.

“Yeah,” you reply, already considering how you’ll prepare for the photoshoot, and the battles that follow. “Let’s make it count.”

He glances at you. “No telling anyone, right?”

You laugh. “Of course not. We wouldn’t want to ruin the surprise.”

The two of you walk in silence for a bit, the weight of everything starting to sink in. It’s no longer just about the excitement of the tournament, this is your shot at representing Paldea University against the gym leaders, something most students only dream about. The thought of it sends a thrill through you, but there’s also a heavy sense of responsibility.

As you near the entrance to the building, Yoongi speaks again, his voice quieter than usual. “Do you really think we can win this?”

You glance over, surprised by the question. Yoongi has always been confident, even in the toughest battles. But now, his usual confidence seems tempered by the reality of the challenge ahead.

“I think we have as good a shot as anyone,” you say, trying to sound as certain as you feel. “We were chosen for a reason. We’ve proven ourselves.”

Yoongi gives a small nod but doesn’t say anything more. You know he’s thinking about the competition and the fifteen other top trainers in the school, each of them just as determined to win. But you’re ready for it. You’ve trained hard, and this is the moment you’ve been working toward.

When you step outside, the cool evening air hits you, and you take a deep breath. The campus is quieter than usual, with most students already turning in for the night. You and Yoongi part ways, promising to meet up tomorrow.

Later that night, as you lie in bed, you can’t help but replay Professor Oak’s words in your mind. The idea of winning the tournament and representing Paldea University feels surreal. The prize money and items would be incredible, but the real reward is the opportunity to take on the gym leaders.

Your phone buzzes, and you sit up, grabbing it off your nightstand. It’s a message from Namjoon.

Namjoon: Yo, what did Oak want? Everything okay?

You smile, knowing you can’t tell him the real reason, not yet.

You: Yeah, everything’s fine. He just wanted to talk to me and Yoongi about some upcoming events. Nothing big.

You feel a little guilty about the lie, but there’s no other choice. Not until Friday. The rest of the night passes in a blur of restless thoughts, and before you know it, your alarm blares. It’s morning, and today’s the day. 

Hiyyih doesn’t try to talk to you about the text message she gets in the early morning. She’s also forbidden from talking to anyone about it. After getting through a day that felt like it was dragging on forever you throw on some clothes and head to meet Yoongi. When you spot him waiting near the campus entrance, you notice his usual laid-back expression is gone, replaced with something more focused.

“Ready?” you ask, trying to lighten the mood.

Yoongi adjusts the strap of his bag, his face set with determination. “Yeah. Let’s do this.”
