Monsta X Kinks & Turn-Ons

@iibonniee​ Hide ya brain cells. I’m back with another kinky shit post that’ll likely end up with Monbebes throwing me in a closet.

Hyunwoo || Venus: Gemini, Mars: Taurus || Turn On: Control

Mr. Traditional. Likes fun and variety with witty conversation. He’s a sensual guy, but it takes a lot to get him going. Try harder, baby. He can be romantically impulsive. Likes to please and tease at his own place. Just give him the reins, you know you want to.

Minhyuk || Venus: Libra, Mars: Scorpio || Turn On: Foreplay

Mr. Idealistic. He’s willing to make your relationship by conceding and adjust his life to accommodate you. Loves to share everything with you, but don’t take advantage of it! Treats you exactly how he wants to be treated. Has a taste for mature partners. He’s a hopeless romantic who loves a challenge and finds it difficult to share his partners. Not saying he’s against it. Just might struggle to watch you. He’s attracted to “taboos” and wild fantasies, so share yours with him. Pretty sure he’s down to try it. He’s got stamina for days and enjoys submissive partners.

Kihyun || Venus: Scorpio, Mars: Sagittarius || Kink: Shibari Bondage

Our resident kink master. He’s intense as fuck. That prince charming grin is a trap. “Isn’t afraid of getting his mind dirty.” Excuse me, wtf. Penny for his thoughts. Never gives up. “Strong sexual powers.” So he’s what, the Harry Potter of sex? I have several questions. He’s blunt and eager, amorous and sensual. We knew that tho. He tends to focus on his partner with laser precision and you know what requires that much attention to detail? Shibari. It’s its own art form and I can see him being a HUGE fan of it. He can get possessive to the point of jealousy if you don’t prove your loyalty to him. All the dom vibes. Fight me. Though he’s not incapable of giving you control once he feels secure enough in your relationship. Good luck.

Hyungwon || Venus: Capricorn, Mars: Capricorn || Turn On: Someone willing to ride

The Pillow Prince. He’s a realist and will be “upfront” with you. He’ll try to win you over by showing you he has self-control (it’s a trap) and likely bait you into doing most of the work. He’s a romantic looking for a soulmate, and when he thinks he’s found The One, you’ll see him exerting more of his precious energy. Shy but willing to commit. Wants to show you off in a quiet way. And the sex? Keep it nasty if you can.

Jooheon || Venus: Scorpio, Mars: Leo || Kink: Praise (Receiving)

No one is shocked by this. Has a strong need for a partnership. 🥺 Someone cuff him. Like Kiki, he gets possessive and makes it his mission to ruin you. Get you addicted to him through pleasure and commitment, body and soul. Sign me tf up. Wants to explore every inch of you, inside and out, but will guard his secrets until he feels he can trust you with them. Another guy prone to jealousy but it's because he’s so devoted to you and he’ll fight dirty to win your heart. Borderline nympho as he’s easily turned on (no fr, tell him he did a good job) and will give it to you anywhere (like, say the backseat of his car). Honey acts with his heart and goes all in.

Changkyun || Venus: Pisces, Mars: Aquarius || Turn On: The Art of Seduction

Our Lone Wolf favors instant gratification except when it comes to choosing a partner, even if it's just for one night. He’s straightforward (ofc), dreamy and soft-hearted. Can be sweetly playful when he starts to fall for you. He does have a Captain Save-a-Hoe complex so you gotta make sure he’s attracted to you and not your situation. Expect lots of tender moments and romance. Extra points if you’re older. Likes surprising you with his open-mindedness. Don’t just give in; make him work for it. He’ll delight you with his wit and determination and turn you out in bed.

Hoseok || Venus: Aries, Mars: Cancer || Kink: Breeding, Switch

Mr. Thirst Trap. This shameless flirt has a childish charm, and he uses it like a weapon. You will not survive. He loves to tease and is looking for an energetic partner to keep up with his stamina. Requires plenty of stimulation and likes to lead and please you. Just trust him. Reacts spontaneously and intensely to the Object of Obsessive Horniness and will make it known. Though he doesn’t want kids, he still gets a kick out of the thrill and possessiveness of stuffing you with cum.

cc year in review — every month in 2023 : link your favorite and/or most popular post from each month this year

tagged by: @shorelinnes, @xiaojuun, & @gnanii, thank you lovelies! ♡ tagging (no pressure, & the gifs were extra!): @ye-xiu, @eggheons, @nervousnotion, @honeyimissjoo (if you’ve already done this, feel free to drop the link! ♡)

Hello!! A brief(ish) recap before the actual list. It’s been a pretty wild year in wingsland, mostly thanks to finishing up my second master’s degree in December (finally, BYE!). Looking back, I’m surprised at how much content I actually created, but this has been a refuge and source of comfort for me while running on fumes between work and school and general adulting. 2023 also marked some changes in my listening and sources of inspiration. I fell more out of interest with txt (apologies to all followers who were here for them… this is the second time this has happened, oops?) but fell even more in love with Monsta X while discovering some other new or new-to-me artists (more on that in another post). Reason was my first official comeback with them, and it really lit a fire in my brain. I have a few ongoing series that I intend to continue, whether they’re gifs or audio compilations. I giffed a LOT of besties (minhyuk + hyungwon, the soulmates of soulmate besties). It brings me so so much joy to work on those sets and the various audio edits or just being excited about musical details in my music box tag. I also managed to squeeze in a few angsty mv sets along the way, because tbh I feel like I am thriving most as a creator when something is pulling at the heartstrings. I know mbbblr has been quiet lately (and must seem exceedingly so to those who were around years ago), but I will keep being noisy about them until mx6 is reunited and beyond. Thank you for sticking around with me ♡

(P.S. I am calling these my favorites and audience favorites because what even is popularity on tumblr, and also I am horribly indecisive and can rarely stick to one. Please enjoy the occasionally unserious post descriptions!)

♡ HAPPY HYUNGWON DAY ♡ wishing the happiest of birthdays to hyungwon, who is still mid-comeback week and likely will have! very little time to relax because of their whirlwind schedules! nonetheless i hope he snatches some moments to do what makes him happy, that he’s smiling all day, that the people around him make him feel extra special amidst all of the hustle and bustle. :’)

quick cc note: ah well we all know how this goes right!! i don’t know how obvious this is, but for as quickly as kihyun cemented his status as a resident of my heart, hyungwon was barely a step behind. and like. i simply accepted it. i was like. ah yes. this makes sense. (it didn’t! he’s not my usual bias type at all. as opposed to minhyuk, who IS, and who i fought tooth and nail.) it was like. what. was i supposed to say NO to this silly lanky string bean of a man who is so endlessly graceful onstage and then. regularly falls over his own feet when he isn’t performing? absolutely irresistible imo.

[enter brief delusional paragraph im so sorry] ok. in the most normal way possible. if u were like. megan who in monsta x do u think you would Actually be good friends with. hyungwon is the obvious pick!! and the reason i think this is. a) infps tend to get along with other infps and i think our energies match well. b) i would go get seafood with him all the time so kihyun doesn’t have to. c) on a worldview level i am nearly perfectly aligned with minhyuk and as we know hyunghyuk are soulmates! in conclusion i just think. we would get along. in my mind hyungwon is my friend. let me have this!! okay. end delusions.

because it’s his birthday... and bc you all know it already, i’ll admit once again that hyungwon is my absolute favorite mx producer. (shh don’t tell the others!) the sheer DRAMA in most of his songs and the way he writes so compatibly with kihyun’s wheelhouse is so <3 to me...... but like. genuinely, every time i see his name in a song’s credits, i KNOW that it’s going to be one of my favorites on the album, no exceptions. (by the way, spotify code in the second panel is active and goes to a playlist of his songs! i’ll keep it current.) i love the progression of dj h.one (MY BELOVED) to producing songs for his group, and even outside of his group!

hyungwon i think more than any other member has really come into his own in the past year or two, and it’s like. really lovely to see. he has always been charming and handsome and he has always had a smile that could knock you right off guard, but lately he has been brimming with confidence! (which. i love.) it’s in the way he carries himself, the way he’s so much more sure-footed and is just comfortable in his skin. i really admire the way he’s so steady. i think his personality, while so incredibly endearing and often playful, is maybe less flashy than some others in the group, but he is still such a force to be reckoned with. i think often of that interview he did recently, where a fan talks about feeling like it’s too late to try learning new things, and he rebuts that notion firmly, talking about how he himself was a “late” bloomer in so many things in his life, but that there’s no such thing as TOO late, as long as there’s a willingness to learn. i’ve been carrying those words with me, have held them close and reminded myself of them whenever i’ve felt myself shying away from starting something for fear of not being good at it right away, for fear of being “behind” everyone else.

i’m really happy that he seems to finally be getting broader recognition. i know that he doesn’t need outside validation really, and that he’d be just as happy as long as the group was doing well, but he deserves the millions of views on his my alcohol diary episode, and he deserves that drama gig, and he deserves to be getting invited to luxury brand events left and right! he deserves the korean gp falling over themselves to talk about how handsome and kind and wonderful he is!!

i think 2023 is going to be his YEAR. he is riding momentum, he is catching fans left and right, he is, as i said, brimming with such energy and confidence and i cannot imagine a world in which that energy isn’t returned to him. i think so many more opportunities are going to come to him, and i’m looking forward to seeing what he chooses to do.

but career advancement aside, chae hyungwon i hope that you continue to love what you do, and that you get time to rest at some point, hopefully soon! i will always be rooting for you, i cannot wait to see what the future brings. at the end of the day i hope you are happy, i hope you are laughing and smiling more often than not, i hope that you get your introvert recharge time as needed, and most of all, i hope that your wishes, whatever they may be, come true all of this year and beyond.

kousuke.exe not only stopped working but was unable to process the input and was glitching and malfunctioning the entire night lmaooo sigh. i want to remain hopeful that this night will spark at least some kind of change in him despite yui doing yui things… but we'll see.

speaking of yu jing, do you think rand has assured her some kind of protection from yui once the article comes out? yu jing must be aware of how risky all this is. is she prepared for when yui seeks her revenge? idk maybe i'm overthinking this because i'm from a country where journalists get killed all the time, but i still wonder what makes yu jing so brave. what is, to her, worth making an enemy of yui? is it really just righteousness? i'm lowkey really scared for her tbh but ahh i can't wait til we get to the article.

aahhh i'm glad the romance is giving you everything you want!!! it may not be my personal focus but i do enjoy the romance in ily a lot. slowly learning about all the ways shinae and nol are delicately interwoven has been a delight. it adds so much to the story and i can see their romance blooming into something very beautiful! and please, i'm looking forward to you talking about them in more detail when/if you have the time <3

…..actually, thinking about it, maybe "devotion" wasn't the word i was looking for 😅 sorry, i'm not a native speaker so i wasn't aware the religious connotations were so strong. but i really like your interpretation, and it was very kind of you to not dismiss it! i guess i was looking for something stronger and more emotional than "loyalty". because to me, shinae's actions read not only as "you were a good friend to me so i'll be a good friend to you", but also as "you mean a lot to me and i don't want to lose you". idk if there is even a word that captures this?

and not to get too analytical but i find it interesting to compare nol to minhyuk in that aspect. maybe you will disagree but imo shinae's actions aren't necessarily romantic. i believe she'd be just as affected and do the same things if it was minhyuk, who is similarly meaningful to her. except with nol, there is a different layer to it. there is the soulmateism she isn't aware of (yet), but she IS aware of her heart thumping and not being able to hold his gaze, there's also the change in his behavior, and her attraction to rand which she still has to unpack (it's not just for comedic effect it's obvious she's projecting lol) and i cannot wait for her to do the math and realize what's happening lmao it will likely take her some time but that's fine. she'll get there 👍 and yes yes yes after everything these two (and kousuke too) have been through all i want is a happy ending whatever that may look like 🥺 and therapy for all of them. maybe they can get a group discount /j

-lil anon 😼

That is a REALLY good point about Yujing. It's partly why I do believe this piece she's working on started with her friend at the root - it HAS to be worth risking her career and potentially life. Yujing surely knows the risks she's taking. I remember at the beginning of 151 she tells her friend that what she's working on might take several years, but that it's something her friend would be very interested in. If Manli is the friend Yujing has that was sa'd, then it would give her a reason to chase the story, I think. Once she finds out Nol pled guilty, though, she calls her mysterious contact and the story that once was seemed like it would take years suddenly has only the amount of time as Nol's sentencing.

Isn't that interesting? I still am not entirely sure what to make of it. Clearly everyone expected Nol to plead not guilty, for the trial proceedings to take place, for Shinae to give her testimony. Also something that stands out to me - Meg was told her testimony wasn't needed, that it wouldn't matter if she testified anyway because it'd get thrown out and before Nol could get much more out of her, Yui appeared. Not so subtle, right?

That's a small tangent lol but the point is: yes, I think that this is an important story to Yujing, not just for her journalistic integrity, but for something more personal. Vindication for a friend? For multiple friends? Because while I don't know if Yujing is aware of the full extent of how Yui has raised Kousuke, I think she knows enough to sense otherwise. She was disappointed to find that Kousuke hadn't changed, much like Nol is disappointed he hasn't changed - in a way, they've been rooting for him to come to the conclusion we have, right? They've been waiting for him to really comprehend the full scope of his life the who his mother is.

Another interesting thing is that Yui absolutely tries to play her tricks with Yujing, to put on that maternal mask, but Yujing doesn't even bother entertaining her. Also, that day that she was interviewing Nol, Yujing wrapped up with Yui's entrance. She definitely has an inkling that Yui's presence would compromise Nol's responses and make him uncomfortable, and she could probably deduce that was exactly what Yui was hoping for, to meddle more than she already had.

And that comes to another point about Yui. She notes that what she's doing with Nol is below her paygrade and she's doing it as a favor to Rand, but I have to wonder if it wasn't rather self-serving. Nol's drug-related charges link right back to Yui, and we have enough to deduce that this isn't the first time Yui has provided such drugs. If you haven't read this post yet, please do! It poses an interesting link between Kousuke's college incident and Yui providing drugs.

All this to say: I think the story must be very important to Yujing for her to tackle it, knowing who Yui Hirahara is and what she's capable of. But it also leaves us wondering what kind of protection can Rand even provide? He couldn't protect Nol. He couldn't protect Kousuke, though perhaps he was just too late. He can't even really do much to protect himself. And the way the judge managing Nol's case just so happened to retire? We know she pulled some kind of strings, intimidated someone, something. She has so much power and we don't even know the extent of it all. So. What kind of protection can Rand even afford her?

But yes, I do worry about the outcome of this story, even though I also look forward to it. It feels like it will end up being a bombshell in a lot of ways. I also wonder about how the setting of ILY plays into this. In the past, quimchee has referred to it as the United States of Korea - not quite Korea, definitely not America, but as the story has unfolded and characters have gone to and from America, England, Ireland, Japan, does that mean we definitively are set in Korea - and if yes are we following Korean laws? Libel and slander in Korea are a big deal - you could sue someone for running a story defaming you, even if they reported the truth! And again, with the contacts Yui seems to have, I have to wonder what her reach is.

I guess that's what makes Yujing seem like such a cool and formidable character. I want to know what she knows lol i want to know what her angle is. Also while I'm talking about her, here's something interesting I just noticed. Yujing spoke of Kousuke and Nol with familiarity when she interrupted their fancy meal. She said that it was a surprise to see them getting along enough to eat because the atmosphere would be hostile whenever they were in the same room together. There's also that history between her and Nol and her dog Senator. It raises some questions - when has Yujing been around them together? Especially because of the way Yui played dumb about her; it could be an act altogether, asking if they went to university together full well knowing it's so.

Also one other thing while I'm on this subject lol. The morning that Yujing saw on the news Nol pleaded guilty, she was going through a news story about an altercation between Nol and Kousuke. Without knowing the angle of her story, I wasn't sure what this had to do with what she's working on - sure the framing of Nol as a bad person plays into it, but also - during his interview with Yujing, before it got cut off, he says to her "It's not the first time the truth has been twisted in the media to fit a narrative". Is he speaking about that article, the one that frames him as the aggressor? Is that the one Kousuke has that fabricated memory of? Ahhhhhhh the more I think about what Yujing is working on the more desperate I become to read it!

and please, i'm looking forward to you talking about them in more detail when/if you have the time <3

This will definitely be coming hopefully soon! It's just something that's been on my mind as I reread lol. Like you said, it's very delicately woven! For me, there's something about watching two characters really come to matter to each other; it's not something I feel like I'm good at writing myself, but it's something that just really gets to me. I'm definitely ILY for the story and learning about their pasts, and seeing what will come of everyone, but the possibility of romance is just the icing on the cake, tbh! I really enjoy scenes where we get to see Shinae be honest, and we tend to get those when Nol is involved lol. (But also while looking at some earlier chapters I got weirdly emotional re-reading Yujing and Shinae's first meeting at the mall, when she helped pick out clothes that flatter her and Shinae asked if it was weird or wrong to favor comfort over style and Yujing reassured her it's not. idk it was a nice little moment, Shinae deserves all the reassurance!)

But I definitely get what you mean! I think devotion DOES work - frankly I'm not a particularly religious person I think of devotion as lol one of those foundations for a lasting marriage/partnership lmao. And I don't think it necessarily needs to be seen as a romantic thing, either! I just enjoy the religious imagery of it because it makes it feel somehow... idk, transcendent? Since right, it's a stronger word that loyalty is! And I do agree that her devotion, her dedication, her insistence on being there itself is not inherently romantic, which is what I love about it!

Idk how to explain this so please bare with me lol. It's like... to me romance isn't a raging forest fire, because eventually that kind of fire will just. Burn up and one day all that will be left is ash. It burns hot and strong and it's passionate, until there's nothing left. But a steady burning flame? Something that isn't so extreme, isn't so magnificent? But it's steady and constant, it's reassuring. You can trust it to continue. Sure a candle will eventually burn itself out but it's not like that wildfire that just burns and consumes until there's nothing left.

So when it comes to romance and things that seem otherwise mundane, I love it SO MUCH. Because I think it really plays into that narrative of how do you even define platonic vs romantic love? Shinae could very well have the most platonic feelings about Nol and still want to sit by his bed and keep watch over him, to make sure he's okay, to make sure he doesn't go out of her sight again. She absolutely would do the same thing for Minhyuk, someone we know is one of the most important people to her outside of her family. She did it as much as she could for her father when he was in that same position, too.

there is the soulmateism she isn't aware of (yet), but she IS aware of her heart thumping and not being able to hold his gaze, there's also the change in his behavior, and her attraction to rand which she still has to unpack (it's not just for comedic effect it's obvious she's projecting lol) and i cannot wait for her to do the math and realize what's happening lmao

THE BIG DUMB SMILE THAT GREW ON MY FACE WHILE READING IT because that's it THAT'S EXACTLY IT lol that's why it just GETS to me! Because she WOULD do this for any other person she loves, anyone else who is important to her, but this isn't any other person, it's him, and it's the way she can't hold his gaze, it's their tendency to lean towards each other (metaphorically or literally), it's the way he's let his defenses down a little more than she's used to, it's the way he's acting on something she once upon a time thought he was and told him not to but now she's not so concerned about crossing that line. In fact, that's BEEN going on! She went from telling him not to be too familiar with her lest he make his girlfriend mad at him waaaaaaay back before the formal to LMAO holding his dumb hands because it brings her comfort so she assumes it will do the same for him. It's all those little things!!!!!!!!

I, too, am waiting for her to have that realization that this version of Nol, this side of him he's shown her, that intensity, is SO much like Rand LMAO. I fully agree - that was not simply for comedic affect LMAO that was a little seed planted (although, hands down, the conversation Nol and Kousuke have following that is one of my FAVORITE scenes. There's something about the way Nol is just. Talking to Kousuke like maybe they don't hate each other and maybe they aren't at each others' throats all the time, casually noting that sure he finds Dieter's mom hot but is he going to SAY so and Kousuke just like PLEASE SHUT UP THIS IS SO UNCOMFORTABLE such a FUNNY scene lmao).

BUT ANYWAY YEAH IT'S EXACTLY THAT!!!!!!! I love love that isn't grand and overstated. Like, that's fine and I definitely can enjoy a really grand gesture, they're fun to read! But I love the kind of love that blooms from a seed that was planted long ago and maybe you didn't even realize you were nurturing it but eventually it grows and will bloom and that bud has grown and it may not have completely unfurled itself but. In time!!! Soon!!!!! It's the "calling insistently to check up on you and worrying even when i'm told you're okay because i want to hear it for myself". It's the "defending you even when you aren't around to see it because it's not an act i put on you are special and i don't like it when people mistreat you." It's the way!!! Her acts of care!!!! Linger even after she's gone!!!!! It's the way he always seems to reel from whatever mark she's left - her hands bunching up his coat, the earbud she returns to him, the stupid chicken nugget hand holding. AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH all these little moments that could just as easily remain platonic, except they're stirring something up!!!!!

That they are each people who aren't good at receiving care from others but end up doing exactly that for each other! And how they receive that concern and care! Nol always seems SO affected by the times she pays attention to him, when she notices things. The medicine she bought him!!!!!!! Because he is a person who deserves to be taken care of!!!! When no one else but Nana does that. ;A; Like alfkjakfjkjaf lmao see I'm accidentally going on the tangent already but that's! Exactly what I love about them. That, as you put it, they are so delicately woven, it's been happening all along but NOW we can see that tapestry they've been weaving. We can see exactly how they've affected each other in a way that's led to these flirty little fingers dancing, to this additional layer atop something that could be otherwise so platonic. It could be Minhyuk and she'd still be asleep at the side of his bed, but it's not, it's Nol, and that makes all the difference.

;A;!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GROUP DISCOUNT THERAPY FOR ALL!!!!!!!!! lmao I really do look forward to the end even though I HATE things ending and I tend to hold off finishing them as long as I can lmao because I get sad but ILY is special because I DO hope as many characters can get the happy endings they deserve, can find the comforting peace they need. I think everyone will always carry some kind of baggage, but bagage isn't as heavy if you can share it with someone, if someone can lighten the load. I mean that very platonically, too - I just want to see these characters find some kind of peace and have someone who understands, who gives them that space.

But I definitely want them all to get therapy LMAO PLS

summary — A soulmate au where all sorts of soulmates have black marks that turn rainbow colours at first touch with their soulmate (ib: this post)

featuring: Lee Min Jun, Cha Minhyuk, Cha Jaeyoung

dedicated to: @rckybowen, who wanted something from the prompt, and @realparkminkyun for all their support <33 reblog for a part two! (with min jun and seungwon, my loves)

Min Jun was lucky to have met Minhyuk, with his fingertips streaked rainbow like a tattoo that gently held them together when they were falling apart.

Min Jun had always been a reclusive child growing up. When they had first met Minhyuk, they had been quietly reading a book in the corner of their kindergarten classroom.

Minhyuk had gone up to them, all smiles, waving his black-stained fingers as he eagerly greeted Min Jun.

"You've got ink on your fingers," was all Min Jun said.

"That's not very nice. This is my soulmate mark. Where's yours?"

"I don't have one," Min Jun replied, finally putting their book down. "My parents think that either I'll be lonely, or fate decided to give me a choice."

"Well, I think you're lucky to have a choice. What's your name?"

"Min Jun," they grinned, crooked teeth on display.

"I'm Minhyuk. It's nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too, Minhyuk."

In the eight years since their first encounter, Minhyuk never touched Min Jun once. Min Jun always had long sleeves or gloves on, and they hated direct skin contact. Minhyuk, being the gentleman he was, respected their aversion to being touched, and as such, his fingertips remained black and Min Jun remained mark-less.

Min Jun's parents, who had always secretly been afraid Min Jun would remain friendless forever, often encouraged Minhyuk to stay over, feeding him well and treating him kindly.

It was one of those times when Minhyuk was sleeping over in Min Jun's room, when they were fourteen and he was twelve, that Min Jun was braiding their hair while sitting at the edge of the bed.

"Can you teach me how to do that?" Min Jun turned their head and found Minhyuk staring shyly at their hair. "It's really pretty."

"Sure." Min Jun patted the bed next to them, and Minhyuk went over happily.

"Here." Min Jun offered Minhyuk their hair after parting it, and Minhyuk grasped it, their hair soft in his fingers.

With a gasp, he let go of Min Jun's hair, staring dumbfoundedly at his fingers.

"What's wrong-" Min Jun's voice trailed off as they looked at the bright colours bursting out from the previously ebony-black streaks on Minhyuk's hand. The soulmate mark they often teased him for was blooming all shades of the rainbow, as well as their hair.

Min Jun hurriedly swept their hair into a ponytail and scrambling up from the bed. They pulled open their closet, tugging a drawer open and grabbing a pair of gloves.

Walking back to Minhyuk, they tossed it at him. "Put these on, quickly."

Minhyuk fumbled with them, eyes wide. Min Jun knelt down in front of the bed, helping him get the gloves on his shaking hands.

"It'll be fine, I just don't want your parents to get worried. I'll explain to mine myself."

Then, they sat back down on the bed, guiding Minhyuk through the basics of braiding. When he finally got it, Minhyuk knelt behind Min Jun, clumsily working his fingers through their hair to braid it, until one messy braid fell down Min Jun's back.

"I'm done," Minhyuk said softly. "It's not very nice, though."

Min Jun got up wordlessly, going in front of the mirror and examining the braid. Minhyuk looked on anxiously until Min Jun broke into a smile, teeth having grown out into a straight line.

"You did really good, Hyukie. It looks so pretty."

Then, Minhyuk smiled too, the gummy grin that Min Jun loved so, eyes shining with pride.

Sharp rapping on the door startled Min Jun, and they visibly flinched as their mother opened the door.

"Hey Eomma-"

"What's that in your hair?" Min Jun's eomma asked shrilly. She took Min Jun's braid into her hands, gently turning it around and looking at the colourful streaks in her hair.

"Did you dye it? Why?" She looked from Min Jun to Minhyuk, who had guilt written all over his face. She glanced down, and saw him wearing Min Jun's gloves.

"Oh," she whispered softly, walking over to Minhyuk and holding his hands in hers. "Oh," again, as she slipped the gloves off and looked at the colours dotting his fingers.

Min Jun's eomma put Minhyuk's gloves back on and stood up, placing her hands on her hips. "Right. I'll tell Minhyuk's parents, I suppose."

"Eomma-"

"Yes?"

"We could be platonic soulmates," Min Jun said hopefully.

"Well, there's no pressure either way. You might grow apart in future, or not. It's not ours to tell." She walked over to the door, and stopped. "We'll inform your parents tomorrow morning, Minhyuk-ah. For now, it's late, you two please go and sleep."

Telling Minhyuk's parents had been hard. They were soulmates themselves, and were torn between their belief in the soulmate mark and not forcing their views on two young children.

Min Jun's parents had to coax them into leaving the children alone, and, albeit semi-reluctantly, Minhyuk's parents had agreed.

Min Jun had been scared that morning, when Minhyuk's parents left the house with Minhyuk in tow. They waved goodbye solemnly, not expecting to have Minhyuk over to their house again.

To their delight, Minhyuk had been able to come over again, and again, and again. Sometimes he brought his younger brother, Jaeyoung, especially to Min Jun's skating competitions. Min Jun was very supportive of Jaeyoung's idol endeavours, especially when it led to him debuting.

Occasionally, they would look up in the stands when they were skating before they began, just to catch a glimpse of rainbow-coloured fingers raised in a wave, and Jaeyoung covering up his coloured cheek with a mask and a cap over his head, but Min Jun was sure both Minhyuk and Jaeyoung were smiling proudly down at them.

Watch and Learn hyunwoo/hoseok, NC-17, 7697 words. Hyungwon purses his lips. “You think your soulmate is gonna be chill with your obsession with a porn star?” Hyunwoo chokes on nothing. It would be more impressive if he had even had his drink in his mouth, but he doesn’t, and he has to glare balefully at Hyungwon as Minhyuk giggles into Hyungwon’s shoulder. “He’s not a porn star,” Hyunwoo hisses, cheeks flaming, and then, “and it’s not an obsession.” In which Hyunwoo has a crush on a cam boy.

I need to see someone yelling at Ilhoon over the necklace debacle

“ILHOON!”

Peniel’s eyes went wide as he looked up at his phone, looking across at Minhyuk. The second eldest furrowed his brows together, looking at the studio door.

“Is Yeji okay?” Peniel asked.

“I don’t know,” Minhyuk shrugged.

“JUNG ILHOON!”

Peniel blinked, “Oh she used the full name,”

Both men decided to step out of the studio, into the shared outdoor space. Changsub and Eunkwang remained silent as their female member glared at Ilhoon.

“Her..,” Yeji panted, “NECKLACE?!”

Hyunsik stood behind Yeji, holding her handbag, “Your going to have an asthma attack,”

“You took her necklace!” Yeji exclaimed in a high pitched voice, “Ilhoon!”

“He dumped her!” Ilhoon defended.

“You don’t steal her necklace from her soulmate!” Yeji wheezed, “Your an idiot!”

“Don’t call me an idiot,” Ilhoon snapped.

“Fine,” Yeji clapped her hands, “You’re stupid!”

“Yeji!” Hyunsik held an inhaler in his hand, “Take your inhaler!”

Peniel and Minhyuk both shared a look as Yeji finally turned around, taking the inhaler from Hyunsik and administering it. She breathed and coughed a few times, glaring at Ilhoon.

“Yeji, you might need to sit down,” Minhyuk spoke up.

“I’m fine,” Yeji coughed, “This idiot hid Hayoon’s necklace from her, the one Minho gave to her, because he didn’t want her going back to him,”

“I liked her first!” Ilhoon spoke up, “She was my best friend-“

“You had years! Years to tell her how you felt!” Yeji exclaimed, “She loves Minho!”

“He broke her heart,” Ilhoon whispered.

“And so did you,” Yeji spoke, administering her inhaler again.

She coughed, wheezing before finally sitting beside Changsub.

“I think I need to go to the hospital,” Yeji wheezed.

Monsta X & Their Soulmates

Taurus Juno 🌹 Shownu

Taurus is an earth sign, so Shownu's soulmate is definitely very stable and grounded. They are slow-moving and patient, but can get a bit stubborn at times. Taurus in Juno describes a soulmate who loves romance, pleasures of all senses and luxury, so their ideal date is most likely a dinner at an expensive restaurants with amazing food haha. This person will make Shownu feel grounded and help him find stability in life!

Cancer Juno 🌹 Wonho

Wonho having Cancer Juno makes sooo much sense. Since he is quite emotional, sensitive and caring himself, his soulmate is just like that as well! Wonho's ideal partner could be described as motherly, affectionate, nurturing and compassionate. They definitely love kids and are very family oriented. 

Libra Juno 🌹 Minhyuk, Kihyun & Hyungwon

These guys are into social and outgoing people. Libra is a sign which represents balance and harmony. It is also ruled by Venus, so these people are naturally romantic in the most cliche, traditional way haha. Kihyun, Minhyuk and Hyungwon's soulmates could be described as diplomatic, kind, gentle and affectionate!

Scorpio Juno 🌹 Jooheon

Scorpio is a sign known for being intense, possessive and passionate. Joohoney craves intimacy and deep relationships! His soulmate most likely has a mysterious and intense energy around them, which draws people in. They are fiercely loyal, sensual and trustworthy, but they could also get a bit jealous at times. Jooheon's relationship with his soulmate will definitely transform him a lot, since Scorpio is a sign which rules transformation and changes.

Aquarius Juno 🌹 Changkyun

Changkyun is an Aquarius sun, so his soulmate is probably very similar to him! Aquarius is super unique and rebellious. They do what they want and don't cater to other people's opinions. Changkyun is such a good example of an Aquarius! His soulmate is someone very independent, intelligent and basically a person who is confident in themself and values their freedom. Changkyun doesn't want his life partner to be just a lover, but also his best friend!

[whale-minmin]

this is more of a question but what led you to choosing the username you have rn?

 I was waiting for someone to ask this~ it was a quick decision, and i’m extremely bad at names and usernames, so boom. i kinda want to change it, but then i’d have to change all the urls and links and - no. i’m too lazy 

lee minhyuk from monsta x has been my ult bias for about.. 4 years now? i try to spread my love for him everywhere, and yes, it includes tumblr :> minhyuk is too long so i went with minmin~

 and the whale part : he has an absolutely gorgeous tattoo on his knee, i love it so. so. much.

it looks like this, he loves whales and got the tattoo to cover up his knee scar! but it also has such a beautiful meaning, another reason why i love this man so goddamn much

"I gave it some meaning. A whale can bring me to a place that I want, be it success or health, and since it’s big, it can carry monbebes, and my family, and can bring everyone to a place where I want to be all together! There is also a whale in One Piece (anime) called 'Laboon' who keeps hitting its head against an island. They found out that it had been waiting for its owner since it was a baby whale. So it also means to wait for someone your whole life. Even if it doesn’t apply to me, that’s what it means."
