#summer date series

[ateriblewriter]

Date? (m.b)

Enjoy!

Matt felt like he was on fire. Everything was falling into place right now. His line was clicking, the Wild were hot and he had just gotten his second hat trick of the season. And she was there to see the game. His best friend since coming to Minnesota was there at the X, wearing his jersey, sitting next to his family, watching him have an amazing game. What more could he want? Well there was one thing. Her.

He first met her waiting for coffee at Caribou, she loved the sweeter things in life. He doesn’t remember what he said that made her giggle, but it was one of the most beautiful sounds he had ever heard. In those few moments Matt had already fallen for her, only he couldn’t have her, not yet anyways.  But he still needed to have her in his life, even if it would be just strictly just as friends. She needed to break up with her boyfriend, which at that time was going to happen sooner than he thought but he wasn’t going to be that person who pursued someone right after they broke up with someone.

But in the meantime he was going to hang out with her as much as he could. He helped her study and in turn she went to his games. They listened as each other obsessed over things they both liked. She visited him in Massachusetts in the summer and Matt made many trips back to Minnesota to be with her. Matt even asked the Hugheses if he could bring her to the lake house for the week he was there, to which they of course said yes. They were perfect together in more ways than one. Now all he needed was to gather enough bravado to ask her out on a date. He had an idea, and it was going to be perfect.

After he was announced as the first star of the game and he tossed a puck over the glass to a kid, he skated over to where she stood. He waved at her to get her attention before tossing a second puck with something written on it to her. Her eyes went wide and a big smile spread across her face as she shook her head yes, once she was able to read what was written on it. Matt’s heart fluttered at her reaction. He blew her a kiss before skating away. He couldn’t wait for what followed the clean up and post game interviews.

“Hey Mr Hotshot Hockey God.” She smiled referring to the nickname she gave him after the first game she ever went to. She was beaming with pride over the success Matt had that night and was more than thrilled to be asked to go on a date with him.

“Hello Pretty Pretty Princess.” He wrapped his arms around her pulling her close to him. On a whim he decided to take a chance crashing his lips on hers and sparks few between them.

“Oooo looks like someones gettin laid tonight.” One of the chaos children chirped at the couple as they passed they passed them kissing. They were probably not far off of what might possibly happen in  a few hours, but Matt still felt the need to flip them off.

“Shall we get out of here?” He interlocked their hands together, leading her towards his vehicle. No matter how the rest of the season turned out, this summer was going to be the best yet.

Please let me know what y’all think. I’d love to hear your thoughts, comments, and complaints!

( pairing ) : clarisse la rue x fem!reader

( words ) : 2000

( note ) : noticed that clarisse has her nails painted in the show and… well this came out of that. reader is heavily aphrodite coded but i don’t think it’s explicitly mentioned anywhere what cabin she’s actually from? only that she’s not from apollo’s and she’s on clarisse’s side for capture the flag

also don’t we just love that every fic i’ve ever published is literally 80% pining? honestly can’t tell you the last time one of my fics didn’t have a scene that goes on for like three paragraphs about how much admiration reader has for their love interest

oh and happy new year!!

Summer days can last for a lifetime and a fulfilling one at that. There’s so much to be done when the world wakes, engulfed in light and warmth, nurturing possibility. There’s so much to look forward to. But today, that anticipation has chosen to work against you.

The sun is setting now, approaching dinnertime, and Clarisse is nowhere to be found. For all of her spontaneity and occasional recklessness, it’s unlike her to abandon routines. That is, routines she shares with you. And walking to dinner together happens to be one of your longest-running practices.

You tried to ask around, careful not to sound too concerned so as not to spark rumors. See, Clarisse La Rue has never been publicly caught in a state that warrants concern. Clarisse La Rue is untouched by the fears that plague the rest of them. But you know better.

It isn’t until you come across a few Ares kids, very obviously overworked and looking nearly faint with exhaustion, that you come to your senses. It isn’t infrequent that Cabin 5 becomes victim to one of Clarisse’s drills, training until fatigue overpowers their fear of her authority. As predicted, you find her in a clear patch of the forest overlooking the strawberry fields. Some days she likes to train here, away from watchful eyes.

The setting sun casts her in golden light, bronze armor glistening alongside golden skin. Clarisse liked to train in full gear — a fruitful habit to get herself accustomed to the added weight of leather and metal. It allows her to move with ease, swinging her spear with grace despite the strength of her whole body being evident in every step. With her head held high, spear raised, and the incredible speed at which she moves, she doesn’t look even the slightest bit mortal, but rather a god amongst men. A warrior and hunter. She is the perfect picture of divinity if you’ve ever seen it.

You let your feet drag against the dirt, a fallen branch snapping beneath your weight. It informs Clarisse of your presence from a safe distance, although the remnants of her focused state aren’t any less intimidating. Her eyes burn bright like the electricity that charges the tip of her spear.

“I’ve been looking everywhere for you.” Clarisse realizes her error with a glance at the horizon where the sun is setting and you smile warmly, dismissing any indication of displeasure. You watch her demeanor change, the rigidity in her posture fading with an apologetic tip of her head. 

“I’ve been training. Those idiots would know that if they’d stuck around to join me.” Something tells you that that isn’t entirely true. Anyone could assume that she’d been training, but the matter of where was an entirely different question. As far as you know, this particular spot is something only the two of you are familiar with — a small refuge away from everyone else.  

“Well, we don’t all have your… passion for these things.”

“You think I’m ridiculous,” she says with a sigh. 

“Babe, you’re training for capture the flag. Not war.” Clarisse only shakes her head, knowing there’s no point in arguing. She thinks this is something the two of you might never see eye-to-eye on. While you like your fair bit of competition, Clarisse takes every victory with great significance. As she does with every loss.

“Here, I’ll help you,” you say, approaching to tuck a stray curl behind her ears. Your touch lingers at her cheeks, flushed from physical exertion and maybe something more by the way her gaze settles on your lips. Every intake of breath is louder now that you stand toe to toe and the adrenaline has started to wear off. She’s too worked up to have done this all for a game of capture the flag. “I hope you’re not doing all this to get back at Percy.” Her eyes still linger on your mouth and you think she might’ve not heard you until her brows furrow in confusion.

“Since when are you on a first-name basis?”

“Oh, come on,” you say with a disapproving shake of your head. “He’s just a kid.” You reach for the leather chord at the edge of her breastplate, undoing the knot with ease.

“He’s full of it.” She refuses to look at you now, her head turned upward as if she’d developed a sudden interest in trees. You can’t tell if she’s trying to maintain her composure to keep herself from saying something she’ll regret or if your gaze and proximity was distracting her from the discussion. Maybe a bit of both.

“He’s a baby. You could body-slam him into next Friday. It’s hardly a fair fight.” You untie the last knot keeping her breastplate in place, tugging upward to slip it over her head. Clarisse doesn’t even seem to realize that you’d freed her of her armor until the weight vanished from her body.

She looks at you then with an expression you can’t quite read. Something warm, like gratitude, but reluctant. When she speaks, it’s unexpectedly solemn.

“Do you really believe he killed The Minotaur? Him? Gods, everyone here trains themselves to death for that kind of stuff and he gets all the glory? He doesn’t even know how to shoot.” Now that you’ve been made aware of the gravity of the situation, it’s suddenly harder to find your words. This isn’t the petty rivalry you’d assumed it was, and you had to handle it as such.

“Well, I’m sure a few things have been exaggerated here and there, but that’s not his fault. People love to talk about him, but nobody’s really talking to him. I don’t think he’s had a say in anything that’s been said about him. You know how rumors spread around here.”

“But he’s—”

“Look,” you start, taking her hands into yours. “I’m not asking you to make him friendship bracelets. Just… try not to drown him in the lake, okay?”

You know the exact moment an idea hits her by the mischievous glimmer in her eye. It takes a lot of strength not to bury your face in your hands, afraid that you’ve now planted an idea that would get the poor boy killed. Or worse.

“Clarisse, please.” She surrenders, albeit reluctantly. 

“Fine,” she says. Still, you’re not entirely convinced.

“Good. Now say it.”

“What?”

“Say you won’t drown him in the lake.” Clarisse laughs, but it dies down when she realizes you don’t plan to join her.

“You’re kidding.”

“I’m really not.”

“I swear not to drown Percy Jackson in the lake,” she agrees through gritted teeth. You don’t say anything about the way her hands tighten around yours as if it physically pained her to say the words.

“See? That wasn’t so hard,” you tell her, ignoring that it did, in fact, seem hard. “Now, what are we gonna do with those nails?” Clarisse stares blankly at your joined hands. Chipped black nail polish alongside your perfectly pristine, perfectly preserved set of nails.

“Why do we need to do anything about my nails?”

“Honey, I painted these like two days ago. What do you even do to get them chipped like this? I mean, are you fighting with the back of your hand? I don’t understand.”

“I have to train, you know?” she says, like it’s meant to explain anything. You know better than to ask her to elaborate.

“Shame. You have very pretty nail beds. You should spend less time fighting puppy dog-eyed middle schoolers so you can actually keep them pretty.”

“You think I have pretty nail beds?” You shrug.

“Among other things.”

“Well, tell me about these other things.”

“Hm, and people think I’m vain.”

“Come on. What other things?”

You take a moment to look at her — to really look at her. To dissect every inch of her face and the features that create the picture of beauty you know and love. There are far too many pretty things to point out, but you find yourself drawn to one in particular.

“You have the prettiest eyes I’ve ever seen.”

“Well, thank you.”

“Shut up. I’m not finished.”

“Of course. Don’t let me stop you.”

“And you have the most gorgeous smile.” Clarisse beams with pride. “Yeah, that one. And it doesn’t even matter if it looks like you’re just about ready to tear someone’s throat out with your teeth. I just like to see you happy. I like hearing you laugh even better.”

And laugh she does. Low but sweet, like honey. She looks like the teenage girl she is, deeply infatuated and with a capacity for love she has only ever shared with you. 

You indulge in the temporary amusement it brings you to think of how horrified Clarisse might be if anyone else were around to hear her giggle. Clarisse La Rue, Daughter of Ares, infamous for waging war on whichever unfortunate soul so much as breathes in her direction — producing a laugh so gentle and beautiful it could give Orpheus and his songs a run for his money. And you might be the happiest girl alive to have been the cause of it.

“You’re sure you’re not Apollo’s kid?”

“Are you calling me a talented poet?”

“I’m calling you a sap,” Clarisse insists with a sour expression, but her voice is saturated with mirth, eyes too bright, and you know she isn’t entirely opposed to your antics. 

“I think the term you’re looking for is romantic.”

“Yeah, right.” She rolls her eyes.

“I know I’m right, but thank you for the confirmation.”

“I know the nail polish fumes are getting to your head,” she mocks. You feign defeat, retreating with an exaggerated sigh.

“Maybe.” Two steps to your left and you’re concealed by a tree, its trunk twice as wide as either of you. You peak your head, locking eyes with Clarisse. “Or all that training is slowing you down. Honestly! If you’re gonna try to insult me, at least try to come up with something original.”

“Oh, you think I’m slow?” Clarisse asks, every word a thinly veiled threat — a challenge, and one you’re willing to accept.

“Unless you want to prove me wrong.” Clarisse lunges at you without warning, almost too fast, but you’re able to gather your senses. The tree had bought you just enough time to keep her whole body from slamming into yours, the force of it undoubtedly capable of launching you both to the ground. 

You dash through the woods as fast as your legs can carry you, your only advantage being that Clarisse must have tired herself out from training. But you know she’s hot on your trail.

From here, you can see the bonfire, flames burning high. You turn, prepared to declare that your victory is just seconds away. You’re tackled to the floor before a word can leave your mouth. 

“Oh, come on! That’s not fair, I was distracted!”

“Distracted by what?” Clarisse laughs hysterically although taking a much more graceful tumble to the floor than you had. She’s covered in fallen leaves and her jeans are brown at the knees where the denim fades.

“The pretty girl chasing me.” Clarisse is beside herself with joy, clutching at her stomach and close to tears, and it takes her a minute to calm herself. When the two of you have settled, she speaks again. Or tries to, that is.

“Oh, you are so—“ You place a kiss on her lips, short and sweet, but enough to leave her speechless. Clarisse turns a violent shade of red and you think she might need another minute to calm herself. You take that time to revel in your victory.

You stand, offering your hand to help her up. 

“Come on, let’s get dinner and you can rest for the game tomorrow. If you’re gonna lead us to victory, you’re gonna need your strength, captain.” She smiles, intertwining her hand with yours.

“You’re gonna be there? Right beside me?”

“La Rue, you’re crazy if you think there’s even a chance I’d ever leave your side.”

That summer feeling by Bridget Morrissey -> Turns out you're never too old for a summer camp romance. Or a change of heart. When a divorced woman attends a sleepaway camp for adults only, she reconnects with a man from her past - only to catch feelings for his sister instead.

Some of these are my absolute favourites, I've lost count of how many times I've read them. I cannot get enough of "the bright falls series", "One the same page", "Those who wait", "The secret of you and me" and the last entry "Falls From Grace". No matter how many times I read them. And sometimes I wish I could read them again, as if for the first time, if that makes sense. Anyway, I have a lot more titles. Let me know if you want them or not. Enjoy the reading

🗡️Cassarian Appreciation Week, Day 7: Free Day🧪

I can’t believe it’s already the last day! 🥺 But it’s been so much fun, and thank you so much to everyone who participated and supported!💜

🍉I decided to go with a bit of a summer theme for the free day; just something fun and cute. Varian and Cass are relaxing in Old Corona, sharing a watermelon.🍉

[takeshitakyuuto]

i love the horror aspect of hgsn but i think the series has so much comedic potential as well and i love when mokumoku sensei leans into that. i think yoshiki tells hikaru what google is and hikaru spends twelve hours straight googling stupid and mundane shit not even blinking once

[nonasbirthday]

a couple years ago i had zero attention span, and i hadn't properly read a book in forever. the pandemic absolutely did not help, on account of i was working long hours & also dead inside. but in early 2021 i picked up TLT and it reignited my love of reading. and over this past year i finished 22 books :')

forever grateful to the lesbian space juggalos for resurrecting the ghost of my 12-year-old self, a nerd who had to be banned from reading books while walking between classes. (she wouldn't be very impressed by my 2023 book count, but she also had zero responsibilities and limited internet access, so. who cares.)

here's to a continued love of reading for all of us in 2024, and maybe some ATN teasers!

Revenge is A Dish Best Served Wet

Another addition to @xxsycamore's Late Summer Rendezvous event!

Prompt: Naughty Revenge after beach sports game (though the "game" in this is more or less just them playing around in the water)

Fandom: ikesen

Suitor: Masamune

Revenge is A Dish Best Served Wet

NSFW 18+ content, fingering, oral (female receiving), edging, overstimulation, PIV, semi public sex

“Oh…this is so refreshing!” I gushed as I ran into the water, cool and refreshing on this sweltering summer day.

“I love seeing that smile on your face, kitten.”

I turned to the shore, looking at Masamune as he sat himself on where the waves could lap at his feet. “You’re not gonna get in here with me?” I asked.

Masamune grinned, his one blue eye sparkling. “I just want to watch you enjoy yourself.”

“Like you haven’t been hot too.” I replied, pouting at him. “I can’t be the only reason you wanted to come to the beach.”

Masamune chuckled. “Just enjoy yourself, kitten.”

It was then that I got an idea. I swam just a bit closer…and as usual I couldn’t hide my feelings.

Masamune eyed me suspiciously. “What are you up to, Kitten?” He asked. “I see that playful gleam in your eyes.”

I grinned innocently. “Nothing.” Then I was splashing him.

Masamune lifted his hands and laughed as he blocked the water from going into his face. “If that’s what you want, Kitten. You better be prepared for what’s to come.” Masamune said. He was then getting up, stripping down to his under layers and removing his eyepatch before wading into the water.

I let out an eep of surprise as I quickly swam away. Though a smile was on my face as Masamune chased me in the water. Of course he was faster than I was and the next thing I knew his arms were wrapping around my waist and he was playfully pulling me under the water with him.

I was gasping and giggling as we came to the surface. Masamune kissed my cheek and playfully nipped at my ear. “Told you to be prepared for what you had started.” He whispered into my ear.

I felt a shiver run down my spine and heat began to pool low in my body. But I bade my libido to calm down…at least for now. “I’m always prepared.” I replied, giving him a playful grin before splashing him once again and breaking free from his arms.

We spent a while, splashing and chasing each other before Masamune caught me in his arms once again. “Gotcha Kitten.” Masamune said in my ear before nipping at my lobe. His large hands began to trail teasingly over my stomach before moving further north and cupping my breasts.

“Mmm…so you do.” I replied, leaning back into him. “Just what do you plan to do with me…now that you’ve caught me?” 

Masamune was kissing my neck and I could feel his lips quirking into a smile against my skin. “I’m going to have to get you back for splashing me and making me chase you.” He answered, gently pinching my nipples through the thin wet layer of my under kimono.

“Mmm…Masa…mune…” I moaned at the touch. I started to reach my own hands back, feeling at him, but he was capturing my hands before they could travel too far south.

“Sorry kitten, but you don’t get to touch me. I’m doing all of the touching.” He said, holding both of my hands behind my back in one of his. His other hand traveled down the front of my body before slipping inside my wet and disheveled under clothes, teasing at my thighs.

I wriggled in his grasp, wishing he would touch me where I wanted, causing him to chuckle in my ear. “Masamune…” I whined.

“When my kitten sounds like that…” Masamune said with a grin, his fingers finally sliding to where I wanted his touch the most, sending thrills of electric pleasure through my body.

“Ah..ngh…oh…yes…there…” I moaned as his fingers toyed with my sensitive bud.

Masamune continued to stroke me, all the while the coil in my core tightening. Just before I was about to tumble over the edge, he withdrew his fingers and I let out a whine at the loss of stimulation.

“Not yet, kitten.” He told me.

Masamune was then taking us to the shore and laying me back in the soft wet sand where the waves could gently lap at our bodies. He swiftly moved to untie my clothes and then his lips were on my newly bared flesh, his tongue snaking out to lap at the water droplets on my skin.

I let out a particularly loud moan when he took a nipple into his mouth, teeth raking over the hardened peak before his tongue ran soothingly over it. “Ah…MASAMUNE!”

He soon released my nipple and began to trail his lips down the front of my body, teeth raking over my sensitive flesh as he did so, tongue coming out to taste me. I was trebling by the time he reached my lower belly. He looked up at me, his one blue eye glinting with mischief.

“Mmm…Masamune…” I let out in a voice that was somewhere between a moan and a whine, causing him to grin ever wider.

“Don’t worry, kitten.” He replied before parting my thighs and positioning them to rest on his shoulders, his head dipping down and his lips and tongue finally on my lower lips. He licked a stripe up my slit before swirling his tongue around that pleasure pearl, his tongue twisting and dancing over me in the most delicious of ways.

Pleasure coursed through me as white hot heat began to build up inside me. My thighs reflexively began to tighten sound Masamune’s head and I rutted against his face, seeking more of this sweet stimulation.

Masamune continued, though stopped once again just before my release could hit me. I whimpered and pouted at him desperate for release. “Masamune…”

He grinned at me. “I told you I was going to get you back.” He replied.

“Ugh,,,Masamune, I NEED more…please…please let me cum?” I begged, not caring how desperate I sounded. He wasn’t usually one to deny me like this.

“I’ll let you…just not yet.” Masamune replied, grinning at me before he began to kiss up my body, slowly positioning himself between my legs as his lips soon came to mine.

I wrapped my arms and my legs around him as he began to slowly tease my entrance, sliding in just the tip. I broke the kiss to pout at him. “Masamune…please…please fill me up and let me cum?” I pleaded.

“You’re too cute when you beg for me, kitten.” Masamune replied, still grinning. “Of course, how can I deny a request like that?” He was then fully sliding within me. 

I let out a moan at the feeling of finally being full. I was so sensitive from the repeated pleasure and denial of release. Masamune began his thrusts and my back was already arching and it wasn’t long before I finally felt my release washing over me.

At the height of my orgasm, Masamune was bringing his fingers down to toy with my sensitive bud, drawing out my orgasm. 

When I finally began to come down from my high, Masamune began his work again, moving us into a new position with my ankles resting on his shoulders and my hips slightly elevated, allowing him to hit deeper with his thrusts.

On and on, Masamune continued, making love to me and switching positions after each climax. By the time we had finished, I was brought to a state of oversensitivity, my body trembling and weak, tears of pleasure at the corners of my eyes, and my breath coming in panting gasps. It was the most thrilling and exhausting payback I had ever gotten.

SUMMER TROUBLES | 008. DISTRACTION

[WC] . 600 prev ! mlist ! next

"and of course won is last to show up," heeseung glared after opening the door.

"to be correct, sunghoon is last," jay defended wonie, "didnt his practice end a while ago?"

"not sure but he said he was on the way soon."

"and when did he say that?" jay asked.

"about an hour ago.." sunoo sighed, "maybe hes ditching us."

"not a chance," tae commented, "who else would he hang out with?"

"he has many friends from ice skating."

"ok first of all," heeseung started, sitting down beside jay on the family couch in the living room, "no he does not. second of all, maybe he’s meeting up with misak-"

jay smacked his arm before he could finish his sentence, cursing at him.

"yo," he mumbled while pinching heeseung’s arm, "what the fuck?"

"whose he meeting up with?" jungwon asked, sitting next to sunoo on the floor.

"nobody, i’ll go call him," jay said, leaving to go to heeseung’s room.

"weird.."

"anyways," hee shook his head, "what do you guys want to do?"

"there’s nothing interesting to watch," tae mumbled as he searched for movies and shows on the tv.

jungwon’s phone buzzed his pocket but before he could grab it, sunoo slapped his hand quickly and lightly.

"hey-"

"no phone," he told him although it was more like a demand, "everyone put your phones on the coffee table," he announced, snatching jungwon’s phone from his pocket, grabbing his own before placing them messily on the table.

"what why?" hee asked.

"because everyone is always on it. why don’t we all just talk to one another? no electronics."

“but-“

“why-“

“nope nope,” he shushed them, pointing the finger at them, “i'm just asking for one thing, for once.”

it was silent among the best friends.

“okay fine, but what will we talk about?” heeseung asked as he placed his phone next to jungwon’s on the coffee table.

“well.. what’s got everyone on their phones?”

“nothing, i'm just bored,” tae sighed, nudging sunoo to put his phone on the table as well. sunoo abided, placing his phone face down just like the rest.

"we all know what jungwon does on his phone-" hee was interrupted by won, "okay okay enough about me."

jay returned, "sunghoon said he can't show up today."

"what? why?" heeseung asked.

"i didn't ask," jay mumbled, "he sounded serious, i decided not to butt in," everyone nodded, "so what's going on here?" he asked, signalling to the phones all bunched together on the table.

after catching jay up on what he had missed, it had been about half an hour. they began catching up with one another until all the phones buzzed and dinged at the same time causing curiosity as to why from the group of boys.

“okay why did we all get a message at the same time?” sunoo asked, shocked, his eyes locked on the coffee table.

“maybe sunghoon messaged,” tae guessed, “or..”

“or?”

heeseung gasped, scaring everyone.

“gosh you scared me,” jungwon commented.

“it might be the college tours we signed up for, remember the summer admissions? they said they would post it somewhere in the middle of summer.”

“oh yeah,” tae says as the memory replays in his head, reaching for the phone before sunoo slapped it.

“no no no, we have the whole rest of the summer to look at those. right now we are staying here."

once again the boys decided to obey him. heeseung had brought out his console for all of them to play nintendo. although it was four at a time, they seemed to make it work.

after a while of playing for a couple hours, the group seemed to be starving. deciding to go out and eat. sunoo reluctantly letting them go on they're phones.

"sunghoon never showed up," jungwon mumbled, missing his best friend, "i wonder why he never showed up."

the boy never notified them in the groupchat nor showed up like he was supposed to.

"maybe he got held up in something," jay mumbled, eyes locked onto his phone screen.

"heeseung, let's use your car," tae instructed, sliding on his shoes before leaving the house.

the group followed, soon all inside heeseung's black vehicle. hee and jay in the front –sunoo, tae, and jungwon in the back.

"has sunghoon been acting a little more odd than normal?" tae brought up, "or is it just me?"

"ever since he and misaki broke it off, he's been a total different person," heeseung commented, "he barely hangs out with us and normally just hangs out by himself."

"i was surprised when he wanted to sleep over at jungwon's," sunoo mentioned, nodding his head.

"right? me too," jungwon agreed.

"yeah, i mean he and misaki were in love," jay said lowly, "if that happened to me, it would change me a lot as well."

jungwon stayed silent at that. it made him wonder about yujin. how would he feel if she just stopped talking to him? would he feel sad? would he even care?

thinking about it made him wary about everything.

“so what about yujin?” tae asked, nudging jungwon’s shoulder.

“it’s.. it’s great,” he laugh nervously.

“oh yeah," tae mumbled, "does she have a boyfriend?"

jungwon tilted his head at the question, "i.. i'm not sure. she never said she wasn't in a relationship."

"right," he nodded, "maybe you should ask her."

“oh guys,” jay began, the three boys peeking they’re heads between the seats, “the college email did come in, did you guys get accepted to go too?”

everyone excluding heeseung, who was driving, pulled out their phone to check. all of them getting admitted to go.

“we’re all just going to seoul, right?” heeseung asked, pulling into the restaurant parking lot.

“yeah,” sunoo nodded.

they had arrived at jay’s family restaurant.

note: why am i working slower.. im also getting a new phone so no new smaus right now haha. i need to get my photos back asap. and the next following chapters will have weird looking texts whoops.
