#sun woo x ji dwi

[drama--universe]

Okta Lover

Requested by @creepypastacrazier93: Warmly greet!❤️How did the exams go, good? Requests are open again, so what do you say we try out our Hwarang boys? How would the boys react to the female reader who served them in Okta, a Hwarang boy tells his friends that she is cute and another of the Hwarang tells the reader that their friend thinks she is cute 😁😁

Pairing: Hwarang boys x fem!reader

Sun-Woo:

he's a very blunt person

so it would be in character for him to just say it to you

but at the same time, he's pretty shy

which is the reason that he doesn't say it in your face

he doesn't mean to say it out loud either

it just slipped out as you walked off after placing down their drinks

Ji-dwi gives a confused look, Suho laughs, Banryu rolls his eyes, Han-sung giggles and Yeo-wool just grins

Yeo-wool is the first to leave, generous enough to pay for the drinks

Sunwoo just groaned, he knew well enough that Yeo-wool wasn't doing it out of the kindness of his heart

especially not when he noticed you look over after Yeo-wool finished talking

you just smiled at him before turning back away from him

it wasn't until ten minutes later or so that you return

a drink placed in front of him while you said opposite

all the others were kind enough to leave then, but not without teasing grins

and Sunwoo says nothing, staring at the cup before him while you served a cup for yourself

"my shift's done, so I hope you don't mind the company."

Sunwoo does not mind it all, the blush on his face said enough

and you gladly take the opportunity

a handsome hwarang and a nice one at that, who would not want someone like that on their side

Ji-Dwi:

this man will say it to your face

no shame, you've seen the same series as me

sure, he' be a bit bashful about it, but he'd say it nonetheless

the other hwarangs just find it hilarious how you just scoff

because it turns Ji-dwi into a lost puppy

lucky for him, Yeo-wool was good at talking

and he was basically friends with everyone that worked at Okta

so, out of the kindness of his heart, Yeo-wool talks to you

basically tells you that Ji-dwi is genuinely interested

so, maybe a week later or so, you saw him again in Okta

alone this time and maybe a bit tipsy

the two bottles of wine said enough, even if he was used to alcohol

you sit opposite of him, smiling as he looked up shocked

"A little birdie told me that you were very interested."

Cue the blush to rise up on his face

he stumbles over his words, trying to sober himself up in a matter of seconds

neither of those things works, but at least he tries

which you find cute, so plus points there

throughout the whole conversation, his stutter did not dissapear

so you're basically smiling the whole time at his cuteness

Soo-Ho:

number two who'd just openly say it

but in a more flirty way

so you shrugged it off

every single time

which is only making Soo-ho more competitive in a way

he'll try anything to make you break, but nothing really works

Han-Sung is the one to step in

kind of blurts out the fact that Soo-ho seems genuinely interested in you

you don't see a reason why the cute boy would lie to you

at the same time, you also like seeing Soo-ho struggle to come up with new ways to flirt with you

it's really funny to watch as you walk past

to see him pout as he struggled to find something new to say

because Soo-ho was not known for trying so much

(let's assume he never falls for the queen, cause that was just weird...)

he breaks after two hours

which basically means that he just pouts for the rest of their time their

when they left, you were quick to end your shift and follow the men

Soo-ho was trailing in the back, a good meter behind the rest

so you took the opportunity to walk to him, linking your arm to his with a smile

he's confused, but switches to happy in a millisecond

"I hope you don't mind walking me home?"

he does not

the smile on his face doesn't leave his face for the rest of the night

Ban-Ryu:

he would say nothing

not even to the others

he remains quiet through the night, but his eyes speaks thousand words

and Soo-ho knows how to read those eyes with ease

(yes that sounds kinda gay, I'm aware)

which means that Soo-ho knows exactly what was happening in Ban-ryu's head

and thus, he starts his usual teasing

because he had long figured out the secret glances to you

and Ban-ryu's reaction are so funny

the blush, the flustered reaction, followed by an angry shout

it gets him some looks, but a glare soon fixed that problem

except for you

you're giggling at him, but stop once your eyes connected

Ban-ryu thinks you're afraid of him

luckily that's not the case, but he doesn't know that

so he's quick to leave Okta

that's when Soo-ho takes fate into his own hands

racing to you, he quickly whispered something in your ear

something along the lines of Ban-ryu having fallen for your beauty

then he just force you out side

you didn't mind, you wanted to go home anyway

lucky for you, Ban-ryu was still outside

he was fiddling with the charm on his belt, looking at it with a sad look as he scratched off the paint

so you approached him

"what did your charm do to deserve that?"

cue a large flinch from this man

then he just stares at you in shock

you just smile before asking him if he was free for one more hour or so

he said yes, maybe a bit too fast

Han-Sung:

well...

he just stares

all his emotions are easy to read from his expression alone

his silly smile easy tells that he just fell in love

which makes everyone at the table smile at how adorable Han-sung was

yes, even Ban-ryu

it is incredibly cute, even more when he starts getting tipsy

he's basically outing his feelings to anyone who will listen

which, at the moment, was Sun-woo

which the man in question didn't like at all

hence why he called you over and basically dumped Han-sung on you

much to the others surprise, you took it well

smiling when Sun-woo told you to just take the man, that was hopelessly crushing on you, with you

you just put Han-sung back in his seat, saying something before leaving

and Han-sung just quietly waits

which is some kind of miracle, because Han-sung is never quiet

then you return and Han-sung is up in minutes

almost falling down in the process

you kindly tell the others that you'd take Han-sung home, Sun-woo telling you the address without any care

which Han-sung calls out by slurring together a sentence that said something along the lines of 'I could get killed'

but he was also quick to hug you after and almost fall asleep on your shoulder

so you're quick to leave

the next morning, Han-sung remembers everything

racing back to Okta to apologize

but you dismiss him with a smile before asking him to hang out after work

Han-sung was glad that sun-woo had dumped him in your arms

Yeo-Wool:

another flirt

problem is, he flirts with everyone

including men...

so, like anyone else would, you ignored the flirty remarks

even when they made you blush

through the night, he continues and never gives up

he isn't know to falter after all

gets a bit more snappy through the night, however

Soo-ho's teasing is relentless

it comes to the point that everyone is fed up

Han-sung is the first to approach you and basically begs you to do something about it

so Yeo-wool's next line is a success

unknown to him is the fact that Han-sung is partially the reason for that

he's a bit arrogant after you say yes to his proposal

which is then quickly dismissed when you invite the others at the table

because seeing Yeo-wool sulk is a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity after all

because the prettiest man in Silla does not usually sulk

"too pretty" you could quote him for that

you did walk next to him the whole time, maybe a bit too close to seem like just friends or acquaintances

which is something you both want

this time you take the first step

simple way of doing so, just holding his hand underneath the long sleeves from your clothes

cue a blushing Yeo-wool who doesn't really know how to react

he talks big, but he isn't used to a response and if he gets one it is usually just stammering or stuttering

and it is exactly the reaction that you wanted from him

Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth (2016-2017)

This drama follows the stories of the men of Hwarang, an elite warrior group loyal only to the king of the Silla era. However, a twist in the story is that the current king is in hiding. The previous king was assassinated when the current king was a child, so the king is in hiding until he is powerful enough to protect himself. Until then, his mother, the Queen Regent rules. The story predominantly follows the king, Kim Ji Dwi/Sam Maek Jong, an orphan commoner who doesn't know his own ancestry and assumes the identity of his best friend (Kim Sun Woo), Gae-Sae, and Kim Sun Woo's sister and doctor of the Hwarang warriors, Kim Ahro.

Phew. 😵 That was a long explanation. And that's not even spoiling anything. Now, to the ratings!

Extremely complicated political drama: 10/10

Hilarious wise old man mentor: 10/10

Adorable side couple: 20/10

THEY ARE UNJUSTLY UNDERRATED AND YOU CAN'T TELL ME OTHERWISE! BAN RYU AND SOOYEON FOREVER! 💘

Love triangle that isn't infuriating: 8/10. Minus 2 points for being predictable.

Morally ambiguous queen that I'm not sure if I like or not: 10/10

Sexy Shower Scene: 10000/10

I'll leave the shower scene with a cast like Park Seojoon, Park Hyungsik, and Shinee's Minho up to your imagination 😉 Check out this underrated gem and give it the love it deserves!

Just look at these two!!! Ban Ryu x Sooyeon my beloved ❤️❤️❤️

[dearlyjinie]

we are even

summary : Y/n is the physician at the Hwarang house, one day when she got some mud on her clothes she went to clean it at the physician room, but Han sung came in the wrong moment. 

pairing: Suk Han sung x reader

a/n: I had this idea watching hwarang today, it so good. Special note HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIM TAEHYUNG! feedback always welcome.

A loud sigh was heard from the physician room, it was no other Suk Han sung. “what’s the  matter Han Sung? You have been siting here and sighing non stop for an hour”. 

“it’s just” he sighed once again and stared outside as if he was in some type of deep thought. 

He turned towards you once again “ hey I have something to show you“ he grabbed your arm and dragged you out of the room before you were able to say something.

He dragged you outside and pointed at Soo ho and Ban Ryu who were bickering over something stupid. “What Han sung? what did you want to show me?” you raised your voice  slightly  because of Soo ho and Ban Ryu where shouting so loudly. 

“I wanted to tell you something very Important, but I didn’t know how to do it so I came outside but it looks like I can’t do that here either”. Han sung confessed. 

To be honest you really liked Han sung, he was really sweet and incredibly handsome. And you really wanted to hear what he had to say, but you weren’t able to hear anything do to the fact that Soo ho and Ban Ryu were screaming their lungs out and your unconditional heart beating. Which usually happens when you stand in a close proximity with Han sung like right now.

You looked up at the tall figure who was standing mere winches from you, his face was so close to yours you were afraid that you might have bad breath. 

Both of you stared at one another as Han sung confessed  something to you, something which you weren’t able to make out. Your focus on Han Sung left when you heard a loud scream come from behind you. 

You turned around to see what was going on when you received a big ball of mud on your chest. You looked down and back at  Soo Ho who was trying to hide behind Sun Woo, but ended up getting shoved in front you instead. 

You glared at Soo Ho for ruining your clothes, but started to laugh when he ended up dirtying his own and promised  you that he would do your laundery. 

You closed the door behind you making sure that no one was there, and quickly took off your clothes. 

“Hey Y/n-” Han Sung barged in the room, his eyes going wide as the moon when he saw your breasts. He looked at you and then looked down  at your chest. Your gaze following his, when it lowered to your breasts  and you quickly covered them. 

“Get out you” you screamed on top of lungs and Han Sung ran out of the room.

‘‘ goodness’ you sighed out as you calmed your heart. 

Han Sung ran as fast his legs would take him, he ended up In Soo Ho’s dorm. He dropped himself on Sun Woo’s bed, “goodness”. 

“what happened to you?” Ji Dwi asked. Han Sung breathlessly spoke “bosoms” 

 You tried to avoid Han Sung at any cost, but that wasn’t something really easy since Han Sung was everywhere you went. So you gave up and moved on, trying to forget the incident, but Han Sung didn’t let that happen. 

Since every time you entered a room he was in he would say something like ‘it was the chest’. 

And honestly it was both the most annoying  thing ever and funniest, since nobody else understood it but the two of you. 

You were in the middle of doing laundry with A Ro when Han Sung came and pulled you away “hey what are doing” you shouted. 

Han Sung looked at you and started to strip. Your eyes going wide as saucers when you realized what he was doing “ oi stop it! What are you doing?” you asked. 

Han Sung looked at you and then at his shirtless body ‘here now we are even. I saw you and now you saw me” he said innocently. 

You blushed, trying not to look at the cute shirtless boy in front of you. 

“ and Y/n” he grabbed your face and kissed you on the lips “ I was trying to ask you out the other day, but I wasn’t able to so will you go on a date with me?” . 

“of course I will” he smiled at your words and leaned down to press your lips against his once again, but  both of you were interrupted by A Ro and Yeo Wool who were giggling at both of you.

[desperatelyseekingroleplay]

Hello there! My name is Chronicle and I am searching for an OC or fandom RP partner. I'm 23 years old and have been RPing for about 9 years, so I would prefer someone 21+ but I am firm on someone who is 18+. My main method of RPing is Discord but I am willing to do Google Docs as well.

I mainly RP para/multi para, although I always do third person.  I don't mind some mature content, (abuse, violence, etc.) but I will not RP smut. A nice fade to black is what is preferred on that front. All of the characters I use are male and prefer men so MxM is the main romance with myself as the more dominant character..

I have two original characters that I RP regularly and one that is brand new and I have been wanting to RP, I won't go into detail much here so as to not make this post super long. 

If you'd like to RP something from a fandom, my main ships are below, I of course have other fandoms that I RP but those are the main ships that I have been wanting to RP lately.

Ravnis (Ravus x Ignis - Final Fantasy XV)

Ignoct (Ignis x Noctis - Final Fantasy XV)

Victuuri (Victor x Yuuri - Yuri on Ice!!)

Ji Dwi x Sun Woo (Hwarang)

Like I said earlier, I will not do smut, but on that note, I will also not do excessive gore, graphic rape (we can say that it happened but I will not RP it) or pedophilia (just ew)

If you are interested at all contact me on tumblr @ ChronicleArt and we can discuss which method of RPing we would prefer. I look forward to talking to you!

Pt. 1 | Pt. 2

Pairing: Ban Ryu (Do Ji Han) X Reader

Genre: angst, coming-of-age, slight!romance

Word Count: 4,712

Request: Hi! For the Hwarang scenarios, what about one where you are a great enough fighter that you are asked to be the ONLY female hwarang (but against your will). Once inside, Ban Ryu is constantly complaining about how you shouldn’t be there and how it’s a disgrace for a woman to be in the Hwarang house. The two of you keep bashing heads bc even though you didn’t want to be there, you weren’t going to take that from him. Once the princess gets there she gets jealous that most of the hwarang gets close with the female hwarang and tries to get rid of her. - @starbooks13

I’m going to kill Ban Ryu. I seriously cannot think of any other reason why he would be near the bathhouse when it’s my scheduled time. Maybe he really is a pervert. I should expose him! Yeah. That’ll get him to leave me alone. He didn’t see anything, right? Ugh. I need to confront him about this or else it’s going to keep bothering me-

“Um, (Y/N).”

“Yeah?” your head shot up, and you found five pair of eyes on you. They were talking about the princess, right? “Oh yeah, sorry, the princess. I don’t know. Maybe she’s here to see how we’re doing to give intel to Her Majesty.”

Soo Ho leaned in closer to the table, causing the rest of you to do the same as if he was about to say something that should only be shared among your group. “I hear... that Her Highness is actually coming here in search of a great warrior to be betrothed to soon,” he whispered.

Your brows furrowed. “She wants to wed to a Hwarang? I thought that she would most likely be arranged to one of the princes of the other kingdoms.”

“She doesn’t want to be with a man who has always been sheltered inside his own castle,” Yeo Wool followed up with some realization. He usually caught on quickly. “Princess Sook Myung herself is great at fighting. I think she wants to be with someone like that, but I am not sure why the queen would allow it. Wouldn’t it be better to marry from another royal family to secure an alliance?”

“Her Majesty always has tricks up her sleeves,” Ji Dwi mumbled from the side.

After some more light-hearted conversations with the boys, when it was time to finish up dinner and call it a night, you and your friends cleaned up your trays of food and walked out of the dining room together.

The moon was full tonight, lighting up the sky with million of other stars. Sounds of crickets could be heard from around you. You couldn’t wait to get some sleep from another long day in the Hwarang House. “I’m still envious that you get your own room (Y/N),” Sun Woo revealed. “You don’t know how difficult it is to be together with these guys.”

“I know what you mean,” Soo Ho agreed, nodding his head.

“I am sure you don’t know what he means, Soo Ho,” Yeo Wool chuckled, “because I am sure he’s talking about you and Ban Ryu fighting all the time in the middle of the night. Right, Ji Dwi?”

Ji Dwi turned to you, a small smile his face. “You’re really lucky, (Y/N).” He was the first one to start walking back to the males’ room.

One by one, your friends bid you goodnight and followed each other back into their rooms for the night. Watching them from behind, you realized that you were lucky. Fate might have brought you into a group that you were hesitant to be a part of, but she also brought some people into your life that you can’t find yourself without anymore.

Before, you were usually stuck in your own household. The only person you could share things with was Soonja after your mother passed away. Your father was always busy with meeting with the other True Bones. When you went out to Okta where most of the other royal bloods hung out, it was difficult to get along with the other ladies as you were different from them. So, thinking back to what Master Wi Hwa said on your first day of arrival, you were gradually starting to see that this place would allow you to grow.

Most of the young elites were already heading in the same direction as the others, so you begin to walk to your own room which was in the opposite direction. The days were usually loud Master Wi Hwa teaching class in the morning and the martial arts or performing arts practices in the late afternoon. When the sun fell, making room for night, that’s when you were able to find some peace. The air was quite cool, making your walk more enjoyable.

You were only halfway when you felt a hand grab your shoulder. In surprise, you jumped up and immediately turned around. “Ban Ryu!” you exclaimed.

“Sh!” Ban Ryu placed a finger in front of his lips, signaling you to quiet down.

You looked behind him to see if anyone noticed, and when you found not a single person, you looked back to face the man in front of you. There were times when you both were in each other’s faces, but you never took the time to pay attention to his features more than the insults that were leaving his mouth.

Standing in a spot where the moon illuminated right onto his face, you can see why the other maidens would gush over Ban Ryu despite his cold demeanor. Though you would never let him hear it out loud, he was indeed handsome.

“Have you come to spite me one last time before the day ends?” you snapped. Then you figured you had a more important question. “No, actually, w-why did you enter the bathhouse when it wasn’t your time?”

As much as you hated bringing up that memory, you wanted an explanation. Your cheeks started to become warm again, and Ban Ryu also became flustered once more. You noticed his eyes has never met yours even once since the incident. His own ears were turning red. Who would believe you if you told that the tough, heartless Ban Ryu, son of Park Young Sil, had an expression that was mortified?

“That’s exactly what I wanted to discuss with you.” He was trying to sound as calm as possible, but you found the small waver in his voice. “I honestly didn’t know it was your time! Master Wi Hwa had told us that you had a different designated time from us, but he never specified in fear that some of the men would purposely find you in the shower. He just told us to stay away from the bathhouse until after dinner.”

“Which is making me more suspicious of you...”

“I thought it would be great if I didn’t have to wait to share the shower with the others at least once. I didn’t have any ill intentions, nor did I s-see anything.”

“Is this an apology, Ban Ryu?”

Ban Ryu closed his eyes and sighed. You wanted to laugh at his defeat.

“Alright, I’ll take it as an apology. If...”

“If?”

“You stop calling me names. And thinking so lowly of me just because I am a woman.”

Ban Ryu finally looked at you, straightening his posture. “That is all you ask of me?” he asked.

“It seems like no big deal to you, but it would mean a lot to me,” you admitted. “I am daughter of Jung Young Sik, the last True Bone of my family. Because I have no brother to later take care of the family, I have decided to do what I can to protect my own. It is not my job as a lady, but I refuse to stay still and helpless. I can cook, I can clean, I can conceive a child. But my role right now is not to be pretty maiden trying to win attention of any royal blood. You have seen me fight during training, Ban Ryu. I am so much more.”

You felt your eyes start to water. Because if it wasn’t for the tough training here and enduring in a house of men, you wouldn’t have seen it for yourself. Whether you are in the queen’s game or not, maybe Father trusted you to become stronger in this place. Home was too small.

“Then I will do just that, (Y/N).”

For the first time, Ban Ryu called you by your name. Between the two of you, you finally felt some sign of respect. Trying to make light of things instead of letting your tears go in front of someone you had been mad at since the beginning, you joked, “Good. Because if you didn’t, I would’ve told everyone else about what you did.” Ban Ryu’s eyes widened. He started to say something but decided to turn around and hurry to his room. You let out a small laugh, watching his retreating back.

It was the day of the princess’ arrival.

After the long practices and training, you felt like you would actually to pull them off okay. Your morning started out great. The usual snarky remarks from Ban Ryu stopped, and you ate breakfast peacefully with your group of friends. Master Wi Hwa reiterated that all of the Hwarangs give Her Highness an outstanding performance.

More than the dance, you were quite nervous about the short sparring show you & Sun Woo would have to perform next. At first, it was going to be you and Soo Hoo as you two were the best warriors among the others, but after you noticed how much Sun Woo improved, you asked if he could take Soo Hoo’s place instead.

“Is it too late to have Soo Ho spar with you instead?” Sun Woo asked, standing next to you in line as you waited for the princess. You noticed how anxious he was by his fidgeting.

“Didn’t know you were such a scaredy-cat,” you said as you continued to look at the top red gazebo where Master Wi Hwa stood along with your martial arts instructor. “You’ll do just fine, Dog-Bird.”

When you saw your chief instructor and martial arts instructor turn in a direction and bowed, signaling the princess’ appearance, the rest of you followed suit. You soon looked up and found the Royal princess. Her aura alone gave off a vibe of authority. She did look like a warrior, just as you’ve heard from the others.

“So,” Princess Seokmyung started, “these are the Hwarangs.”

She quickly scanned each of you.

“Though you have gone through some tests to become a member, I have come today to observe you all myself. I’ll see if you have what it really takes to become a Hwarang. I have the greatest expectations.”

A chair was brought out, and Her Highness took a seat. Those who weren’t performing moved to the side so that those who were performing could take the center. You stood alongside with Sun Woo, and the both of you watched your other friends. “Yeo Wool definitely stands out,” you said while observing the dance.

“You think so?” Sun Woo chuckled. “Look at Soo Ho. I think he just made a mistake. That guy. He should just stick with swords in battle.”

“Ji Dwi and Han Sung look good, too. I saw those two practicing a lot.”

“Ban Ryu, too. I saw him dance by himself. He thought no one was watching, but I saw him on my way to Ah Ro,” Sun Woo commented. “Speaking of which, he’s been acting pretty weird lately.”

You looked from Han Sung to Ban Ryu. He was so focused on the performance, and you never really saw that side of him. You remembered how much he struggled and hated to be a part of the dance group. “Weird. How so?”

“How can you not know?” Sun Woo asked, taken aback. “Gosh, I thought you would be the first to think so considering he’s always verbally attacked you. It’s been two days since he hasn’t done so.”

“Oh. Yeah, I guess I’ve noticed.”

“So, what is it?” Sun Woo asked, a mischievous smile on his face. “Did you blackmail him or something? Did you finally beat him up?”

Instead of answering, the dance had finished, and you decided to ignore Sun Woo and applaud instead. Your heart thumped hard from inside your chest. You were next.

From above, the princess also applauded after the performance ended. Master Wi Hwa watched her expression. “We also have a sparring show for you, Your Highness. I hope you’ll enjoy it. They are great warriors.”

Everyone cleared way from you and Sun Woo. The both of you picked up your respective swords.

“A woman?” the princess questioned, finally taking interest in you when she saw you.

“Yes, Your Highness,” Master Wi Hwa answered. “(Y/N) is Jung Young Sik’s daughter. The other True Bones have spoken of his daughter’s exceptional skills. The Queen was the one who brought her in. She was also the one who brought in Sun Woo.”

“Her Majesty brought those two into the Hwarang House,” the princess said. She carefully watched as the two fighters from below swing their weapons at each other, blocking, striking, defending.

The match went on for another minute or two until you finally hung your sword right in front of Sun Woo, a few inches from his neck, ending the sparring. Everyone around you cheered, and you placed the sword back down at your side. Sun Woo shared a smile with you, patting your head for a job well done, and the both of you returned to your friends’ side who continued to cheer for you. “As expected of the cool (Y/N) and Sun Woo!” Han Sung exclaimed. “Wow!” He brought you into a hug, and the rest joined in. You all jumped around in celebration of a successful show.

Something pang in the princess’ chest from watching you all. She had no idea why she felt the way she did, but she didn’t like the sight of it. Especially knowing that her brother, the king, was among the men. His sister was finally here, but he’s probably giving his attention to another girl.

She continued to watch the group, and her eyes spotted one who wasn’t among the group of cheering joys. From a distance, his eyes was basically glued onto the female Hwarang.

“I don’t like it,” the princess said.

Master Wi Hwa was flustered. He spent all this time training and teaching. He really didn’t expect those words to be what came out. He was ready to be praised. His face fell. “Uh- What did you not like about it, Your Highness?”

“You think that if these group of Hwarangs go out into a battlefield that they’ll be ready to put their lives on the line? What good will a routine do for them? Battles are heartless, cold, raw. They need to fight like it’s life or death.”

“My apologies, Your Highness but-”

“And the woman? Take her out.”

“(Y/N) is one of the greatest fighters. I think her being a part of Hwarang is a great asset to us. I don’t understand why we need to do that. The Queen was the one who asked for us to bring (Y/N) in.”

“Her Majesty may not see it is a problem.” The princess murmured the following sentence. “She’ll do anything to keep the throne and protect herself.”

Her normal voice resumed. “But she does not see what I see. Keeping (Y/N) here will be a distraction to the rest of the Hwarangs. She may be good with weapons, but the whole group needs to be at its best. We can’t expect her to fight well and the others do the bare minimum. They all need to be focused. For the better of everyone, we can afford to lose the girl.”

You stopped jumping when you heard a throat clear from behind you. You quickly let go of the group circle and turned around to find Master Wi Hwa and the princess in front of you. Automatically, you bowed at her presence.

“Jung Young Sik’s daughter.”

“Your Highness.”

“Your fighting skill surprises me if I’m going to be honest. Who taught you how to hold a sword?” the princess asked.

“Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness. I started very young myself but soon found myself a trainer for a while.”

“And you decided to fight instead of what you intentionally supposed to do as a royal blood? Was your father not against this?”

“At first, Your Highness, but he was the one who asked me to join Hwarang. I have decided to use my skills for a bigger purpose.”

The princess watched you without blinking an eye, and you secretly felt intimidated. Why was she interrogating you so much?

“I see. So, you did not intentionally want to become a part of Hwarang, but it was because of your father and the Queen. If you want, I can do you a favor and excuse you from being among these other elites.”

You shifted your position so that you were facing the princess. You frowned, and your brows knitted. You couldn’t tell if she was asking you or ordering you. It made you uncomfortable. The male Hwarangs stood quiet around you. “There seems to be a misunderstanding, Your Highness. It is true that I did not want to come here at first, but I have no resentment towards my father or Her Majesty for being here now. How could I? I... I have lots to learn, and I think I can be someone who can serve the kingdom as well as its people.”

“It has come to my attention that having a woman among a group of men will not help serve the kingdom nor its people,” the princes countered sternly. “We cannot risk having anything cause this group to fall through. You all are here to train and fight. Nothing else.”

“Your Highness,” a voice interrupted from nowhere. You looked to find Ji Dwi stepping up. “My apologies for speaking up. You say that Hwarang was only built as soldiers, but I believe that we are much more than that. We were not taught to kill. We were taught to be loyal to our country, to our parents and teachers, to each other. We don’t retreat from our enemies. We never kill without a cause. Before (Y/N) entered, most of us were arrogant and only thought of ourselves. Despite being judged by many, (Y/N) stuck through the difficult beginnings and showed us that we all have so much work to do.”

“Do you think those morals will help keep you alive in the case of a war?” the princess snapped, angry that someone would dare defend you and speak against her own words.

“How do we win a war if we can’t even work together?” Ji Dwi challenged. “It’s not every man for themselves. It’s us for a whole country, Your Highness.”

“And you don’t think you can do it without her?” The princess glared at Ji Dwi, but he refused to back down.

“As I have said, Your Highness. We were taught to have trust and brotherhood among friends. Since (Y/N) is here now, she is included.”

You were touched by Ji Dwi’s words though a part of you felt anxious that he was talking back to a member of the Royal Family. Did he not have fear?

“I disagree with you. I do not believe that (Y/N) should stay.” the princess said. You watched all eyes fall on you. “But.” You could barely breathe. The princess wanted you to leave Hwarang. You thought since she was a female warrior herself that she would’ve agreed to keeping you. “I will compromise. If (Y/N) can win against me in a sparring match, I will revoke my decision.”

“Your Highness, my apologies, but I do not think that-” Master Wi Hwa cut off his own words when the princess’ personal servant brought the princess a sword.

“This time, it’ll be a real combat. It is only when one of us gets cut that the fight stops.”

You froze. You knew that if you lost, you would have to leave right away. Even though the princess decided the rules, you knew if there was a chance that you cut her, it would still feel like a loss. How could you dare lay your sword on the princess?

Ban Ryu couldn’t believe the princess’ suggestion, either. When he heard how you might have to leave, his heart fell. In the beginning, he would’ve sided with the princess. But now?

You tightened your grip around your sword’s handle. A million thoughts ran through your mind, thinking of many ways this battle could end. You looked over at Master Wi Hwa who stood still, watching you. You looked over to your friends who couldn’t hide their worried expressions. From the side, you spotted Ah Ro who had been watching since your sparring with her brother. You even found Ban Ryu who had an expression you kind of wish you were able to read.

The gong sound rang out, and you quickly returned to your sight to the girl in front of you. You couldn’t afford to pay attention to anyone else except the very person in front of you. The princess stroked, leaving you to dodge her and then block her when she tried again. All anyone could hear was the sound of the two swords clashing with each other.

“I can’t watch this,”Han Sung said, hiding behind Sun Woo’s shoulder.

You could tell that the princess learned martial arts at a young age, too. She was good. Whatever the result, it would be fair. Out of all the opponents you faced, she was the toughest yet.

Avoiding her sword was easy as first, but as seconds went on, your own sword started to feel heavy in your hands. The sweat from your palm was making you lose grip in your sword. You hit Princess Seokmyung’s sword back and watched her grit her own teeth. You took the chance to breathe for a second as she also tried to regain control. Exhaustion hit both of you.

“We don’t have to fight, Your Highness,” you tried to reason.

The princess paused as if she was reconsidering the whole thing, but you heard a few of the guys on the sidelines cheer you on. The princess frowned and brought her sword up again. “I’ll let you know when we don’t have to fight any longer.”

As if ignited by a new fire, the princess pointed her sword at you and started to charge. Your quick reflex blocked the sword right away, but the princess continuously attacked you, pushing you back. Again and again she went until your hand couldn’t hold onto your weapon any longer, and it was knocked out.

Your sword clattered on the ground right next to you. “(Y/N)!” you heard a few voice cry out. You glanced down, thinking of how you were going to pick it back up since you were at a disadvantage. Princess Seokmyung swung her sword in front of you.

“Huh. Guess you weren’t as great as people were making you out to be,” the princess scoffed as if she’d already won. She took the moment to look away from you and at the other Hwarangs. “This is exactly how it’ll be outside. Don’t take your training lightly.”

In that same time, you took it as your moment to quickly retrieve your sword. From the side of your eyes, the princess caught you immediately and slashed her sword against your skin as you did to hers. Master Wi Hwa stepped in. “That will be enough!”

Feeling a pain on your right arm, you grimaced and pulled your sleeve up to reveal a cut. You looked up at the princess and found her doing the same. You exhaled, thanking that it was over though you were still afraid of what would happen next. Princess Seokmyung made eye contact with you. Everyone else stayed silent. Master Wi Hwa was about to say a word when the princess made her own words heard first. “Not many people are lucky enough to land a hit on me,” she said, looking at the blood on herself. Sure, she was jealous of you and the relationships you had with everyone at Hwarang House. The princess herself barely had any friends. Even the brother she was supposed to know, she had never even seen his face. Looking back at you, the princess knew it wouldn’t be right to remove you. “You have proven yourself, (Y/N).” She then called her servant to be take her back to the palace to be treated by the doctor of the Royal Family.

As she walked away, you bowed down to her. “Thank you, Your Highness.”

You watched her walk out of the Hwarang House. Once she disappeared, cheers surrounded you, and you were smothered in your close friends’ hugs. “Wait, wait!” you heard a female voice yell louder as it got closer to you. Ah Ro pulled the males away from you and took you out of the circle. She glared at the men. “Miss (Y/N) is hurt. I need to take care of her first.”

Smiling, you followed Ah Ro into her room and sat down. She sat right next to you and started to treat you right away. “You continue to amaze me, (Y/N),” Ah Ro said. “Even though I was standing quite far, I was so nervous watching you fighting with Her Highness. I’ll never be able to figure out why you enjoy combat so much! You should just learn sewing. I can teach you.”

You laughed. “I was scared, too. I’m just glad it ended okay.”

Ah Ro almost finished bandaging your wound when a knock appeared at the door. When you looked to see who was at the door, to your surprise, you found Ban Ryu standing. “Ban Ryu...” you said.

“I can finish for you Miss Ah Ro.” Ban Ryu walked into the room. Ah Ro had a look of confusion on her face at first but then stood up from her chair.

“Oh, y-yes. Thank you. I was going to go look for my brother anyway.” She handed Ba Ryu the bandages and then looked at you. “I’ll be right back, Miss (Y/N).”

When Ah Ro left, you didn’t know where to look. For some reason, it felt kind of embarassing to look at Ban Ryu. He took Ah Ro���s seat and continued to wrap the cloth around your arm quietly. You gulped, and licked your lips, finding it quite difficult to breathe. This was the closest you’ve ever been to him. You even felt his hand brush softly against your arm. What were you supposed to say to him? “What you did was really stupid today,” Ban Ryu said once he tied the bandage together so that’ll stay in place.

“Hm?”

“Going against the princess?” Ban Ryu looked at you, but instead of the intense look he usually showed, his eyes were softer. “It was very stupid.”

“What was I supposed to do? I know everyone keeps wanting me to go, but-”

“You didn’t let me finish,” Ban Ryu told you. He took a breath. “Stupid... but brave. Sort of attractive.”

Attractive?

“Anyway, in a way, I don’t think I can do what you did. Everyone knows I have it tough with my stepfather. Whatever he says, I do. I follow his words and don’t ever think about doing otherwise. I just... I just wished you didn’t get hurt while doing so, (Y/N).”

You brushed the bandage on your arm. “It hurts, but it would’ve probably hurt me even more if I didn’t do anything. Before, I wanted to do things my way and make it easy for myself, training by myself at home. What kind of life would it be if things just came easy? Things will be tough, dirt and all. If I can stand all of the tough things that come my way, I’ll be rewarded with a lot of light in my life. I can grow to be more than just a daughter of a True Bone.”

Soil, water, sunlight - you needed them all.

A slight small smile appeared on Ban Ryu’s face. He nodded his head and stood up, getting ready to leave. Before that, he turned back and called your name. “Yes?”

This time, Ban Ryu avoided your eyes. “Well, you know how we’re free to go back home tomorrow? If you want, we can leave Hwarang House tomorrow. Maybe go to Okta? Anywhere, really.”

You smiled. “I’d really like that. Thank you for asking, Ban Ryu.”

Hwarang x reader (sort of...)

You groaned as everyone stared at you. You were a foreigner, so naturally looked very different of the standard looks of the normal looks. People stared at you and whispered. A girl with pants was not normal and one that didn’t wear sleeves was even weirder for them. Where you came from, it was quite normal. You came from (y/c) after all... As you walked towards the Hwarang house, you covered your face with your hood and walked to the gates. Stating your name, they let you in. You looked around and bit your lip. Where did you have to go?

“Do you need help with something... uh?” Someone asked and you turned. A girl with long black hair stood behind you. She was a little bit smaller than you.

“Could you please show me where Master Wi Wha’s office is?” You asked and she nodded, saying she would show you. You received stares of all the Hwarangs, but you didn’t care and followed the girl.

“Here.” “Thank you...?” “Ar-ho. My name’s Ar-ho.” She said and you smiled under you hood.

“Well, thank you Ar-ho.” You said with a small bow and she smiled. You walked to the office and knocked before walking in. Wi Wha looked up and nodded at you. 

“You must be the foreigner. Take of your hood.” You obeyed and lowered your hood, revealing your (h/l) (h/c) hair and the rest of your face. Your (e/c) stared into his and he frowned.

“The famous foreigner is a woman?” “Got a problem with that?” You snapped and he shook his head.

“You will start tomorrow. You will eat with the Hwarangs, but I will let you sleep in the same dorm as Ar-ho. Same goes for the shower.” Wi Wha said and you bowed, turning to leave.

“You will also not show your face or gender until they actually listen to you, despite you being a woman.” He said and you turned and nodded again with a smirk. Pulling up your hood again, you also covered your face with a facemask, you left. 

                                                   -Time skip-

Your first lesson was today and honestly, you were kind of frightened. You stood in the courtyard, all the Hwarangs in front of you. Some started to talk while other stayed silent.

“Silence!” You yelled and everyone shut up. One man catched your eyes. He looked more like a young boy, not like the rest. He looked afraid.

“Everyone take a wooden sword!” You ordered and they all did. 

“Make pairs and start fighting.” You said and they listened, starting to sword fight. You walked around, looking at all of them until you stood by the young looking man. 

His sword fell out of his hands and he fell down as well.

“What’s your name?” You asked the man and he looked up.

“Han Sung...” “Well, Han Sung, you’re not very good.” You said and he looked down before getting up.

“I know.” He snapped and you smirked.

“Go to dinner all of you. Except you Han Sung.” You said and everyone left while Hansung stayed behind with a pout.

“Don’t pout. I’m just going to help you.” You said, walking to him. He looked away.

“You don’t look like a fighter. What do you like?” You asked and he looked down on you.

“I like art...” He mumbled and you smiled, handing him his wooden sword.

“Of course. Well, you have no balance, that’s why you keep falling down. Think of it as a painting. One color has to be in balance with the others, right?” He nodded and you smiled.

“Well, think of yourself as a painting then. Block me.” You said before lunging at him. He blocked without falling over and you smiled.

“Good job. Keep what I said in mind. Now go eat.” You said and he smiled, bowing before turning to leave.

“Are you coming to eat? If you are, you’re welcome to sit with me and my friends!” He exclaimed before running away. You smiled under your face mask before following the hyper man. In the dinning room, you took some food before looking around. Hansung waved at you. You smiled and walked towards them, sitting down.

“So, who are you?” One asked and you looked up.

“My name is not important, what are your names?” You asked and they quickly introduced themselves. When you were done with eating, you stood up and left. You walked back to the courtyard and sat down. Closing your eyes, you waited for the Hwarangs. 

Then you felt someone behind you, trying to pull your hood down. You turned and tackled him before straddling his chest, putting your arm on his neck.

“Try that again, I dare you.”  You sneered and you saw the man look at you in fear. You got of him and brushed of your pants. 

“So, now one of you will fight me. Who wants to try?” You asked and Ji Dwi stepped forward. You threw him a wooden sword.

“Come on then.” You smirked under your mask.

He lunged at you and you blocked him, kicking his chest. He fell back and you waited for him to get up. When he did, you lunged at him and hit his sword away. It fell out of his hand and you hit your sword on his forehead.

“Yah!” He exclaimed and you smirked.

“Someone else?” No one came forward.

“Ah... Get back to fighting in pairs.” You said and they did.

                                        -Time skip of a week-

After a week, you had gotten a little closer with some people. Ar-ho, Sun Woo, Ji Dwi, Yeo Wool, Ban-ryu, Soo Ho and of course Han Sung. You hadn’t revealed who you were yet, but were planning to. Some day... 

You walked in the courtyard, humming a song. All because the Hwarangs would be preforming a song and you would join the lessons, because you loved music. As you walked in the courtyard to see the men practicing. That was until they started dancing. 

You stopped and stared as they danced, giggling at the sight. Once they noticed you, they stopped and stared back at you.

“Lesson starts.” You stated and they nodded, following you.

“Okay, today’s going to be a bit different! Instead of fighting each other, you’ll be fighting me... or at least some of you will.” You said and everyone looked at you in shock.

“So who is going first?” You asked and Ji Dwi stepped forward. You smiled under your mask.

“Also, you wanted to know who I am? Well... if one of you wins against me I will take of my hood and mask.” You stated and everyone started whispering.

You held up your wooden sword and Ji Dwi did the same. You lunged forward and he blocked. You pushed his sword away and he stumbled back. He then attacked you and you blocked him before kicking him in the chest. He fell back and you kicked the sword out of his hand before holding yours to his neck.

“Next.” You snapped as Ji Dwi walked away. Next was Sun Woo. He, too, failed. Then was Soo Ho, then Ban-ryu, then someone you didn’t know the name off. These 3, too, failed.

“Okay, who else wants to try?” You asked, twirling the wooden sword in your hand. Han Sung stepped forward.

“Ah... Han Sung. Come on then! Remember what I said.” You whispered the last so only he could hear. He nodded and got in his fighting stance. He immediately attacked and you blocked, staring him in the eyes. His eyes were filled with determination. He pulled back and swung his sword towards your legs. You jumped and attacked him. He blocked, much to your surprise, and you pushed him back. He didn’t waste any time and attacked you again while swinging his leg under yours. This meant that while you tried to block, you fell down on your back. The sword fell out your hand and you tried to take it, but Han Sung prevented that by kicking it away and leaning above you with the sword at your neck. You stared at him as your hood slipped a little. 

He smiled and helped you up.

“As promised.” You mumbled, throwing off your hood and mask.

“She’s a woman!” One exclaimed and  you rolled your eyes.

“Yes, I am.” You answered and they all stopped.

“She’s beautiful...” Someone else mumbled and you turned to see Han Sung stare at you, his eyes wide and his mouth dropped.

He just stared at you, not moving at all. You looked away to hide your blush, biting your lip to prevent yourself from smiling. 

“It’s time for dinner, so you guys go eat.” You ordered and everyone left. You sat down with a loud sigh. Placing your head in your hands, you groaned before peeking through your fingers to see Han Sung still staring at you in the same position. 

“You...okay?” You asked, but he didn’t move. You stood up and walked until your faces were inches apart.

“Hello? You okay?” You asked and he blinked before stepping back, his cheeks covered in a dark red blush. You giggled and bit your lip again to keep yourself from smiling again.

“You should go eat.” You mumbled and he nodded, running off.

Part 2?

White Chrysanthemums

(Bawn Bawn x Yolo/Ban Ryu x Yeol Woo) A Hwarang fanfiction

*WARNING: SLIGHT CHARACTER SPOILERS*

*HAS SWEARS AND LAME JOKES/SASS*

*READ CRINGE AT YOUR OWN RISK BITCH*

Yeol Woo loves poking into people’s love lives. He just as equally loves matchmaking like the devilish cupid he is. He’s helped, flirted, and destroyed relationships in all of Silla like the heartbreaker he is. He’s mended a few too - but only the ones he found worthy of surviving to entertain him. He’s seen it all: the dramatic confessions, the mouth-gagging public displays of affection, and the trembling breakups. But he never truly experienced it all. He wonders every once in a while, but he rather watch from a distance.

He loves watching the other soldiers. Hansung is a fluffy fanboy of Seon Woo’s and the latter is an awkward dog-bird who doesn’t understand how life works but tries anyways. Ji Dwi is an obsessive mysterious weirdo looking for Ah Ro’s love, but Yeol Woo got tried of watching that real quick. Soo Ho and Ban Ryu are funny to watch; they bicker and beat each other up every fucking day and he loves it. Very entertaining, eh? Soo Ho’s too playboy for WooWoo’s taste however. Adds drama and tension, but is hella predictable after repeating continuously with like twelve women. Ban Ryu was an interesting case: stereotypical tough-outside, soft-inside man. His sixth sense could tell. And he wanted to test out his sixth sense.

~~~~~~~~~~

One fine day, Yeol Woo stal-followed, I mean, Ban Ryu to see how this open-shut case would go about his daily life. At first, Ban Ryu woke up at exactly 6 A.M, one hour before people should actually wake up, and went off to take a morning shower, summoning a VERY intrigued Yeol Woo to the showers.

“Hellooo~ Let’s see what you bring to the table.” He whispered seductively to himself before pulling never-before-seen ninja skills.

He wasn’t sure what to expect, but he knew he liked it. Maybe too much. He melted and thirsted for more after watching through a secret hole he carved beforehand, somehow not being arrested as a peeping tom. He watched the man’s muscles with eagle eyes, seeing them ripple and the water drops streaming down jaggedly on his back. His soaked hair bun gave way to a subtle contrast to his tanned skin and his stark, dark brown eyes. The drops covered up the sound of the beautiful man’s thumping heartbeats, synchronizing together into rhythm. Wait. Why is he looking here? “FUCK.” Mission abort, mission abort!

After scrambling into the thorny ass bushes and desperately trying to cover up his “following,” Yeol Woo tried to make up for lost time and move onto the next event in the main course: training. It took WooWoo five minutes to realize that it was a day off and that most of the Hwarang were off into Silla to visit family and friends. Soo Ho went into town to tease his sister, Soo Yeon, and Ah Ro went to the markets to buy medical supplies and protect Soo Yeon. Seon Woo followed close behind, lost - and Ji Dwi not far from him to study his opponent. Finally, Han Sung skipped behind to follow Seon Woo. Damn was he lucky to have an opportunity like this.

He moved to the fields (which have very little bushes) and silently watched Ban Ryu with those same silent hawk eyes. Yeol Woo chuckles to himself and finds himself blushing all shades of pink and red he’s never felt before. Weird. He’s not even his type. They haven’t even reached the juiciest parts of the day yet. Feelings of confusion poked his heart constantly as he watched from afar. All was silent, until a little butterfly crossed paths with the bushes…

~~~~~~~~~

“Tsk! Damn!” He exclaimed through gritted teeth. He knew of two things that bothered him. One was that the arrow missed the bull’s eye by millimeters. The other was he was being stalked by Yeol Woo. He knew. He always and already knew. His guess was between Soo Ho and that guy; it didn’t take much to figure it out after that shower moment. He scoffs and remembers how easy it was to catch him:

Yeol Woo wasn’t the greatest in stealth, so he left a trail of suspicious noises that no one would normally hear at 4 in the morning (dude can’t even tell time, Gods.) He poked his eye through a conspicuous hole that was large enough to fit a fist through; all Ban Ryu had to do was to play along to spook him and catch his peep. And he did. Then he heard the yelp and the trail of hiccups shooting out of ear shot. Easy. All he needed was some back-up evidence to firm up the case: gossip. He listened in on conversations, hearing how odd Yeol Woo was acting to everyone today. The last thing he remember doing was smirking and grabbing his weapons for training.

Back to the present, Ryu. Earth to Ban Ryu. He steadied his bowstring, calmly readying his arrow. His eyebrows furrowed, his demeanor tense. Eyes targeting the bull’s eye, he was about to release the arrow into take-off when…

“ACCCCHHOOOOO!” Yeol Woo sneezed and the butterfly fluttered away with the wind. Ban Ryu, startled, had let go of the arrow, it throttling no more than seven feet into the grass. Pissed as all hell? Check. Fuming with murderous rage? Check! Prepared with a weapon of choice? Check and check!

Shit went down. LET’S LEAVE IT AT FUCKING THAT. Punches were thrown, squeals from divas were made, things happened, okay?

~~~~~~

Both were caught fighting in the fields by Hwi Hwa and were summoned into his office. One came in pouty and with a couple bruises. The other moody and fuming with anger. Both knew they weren’t gonna get a chance to explain. The headmaster circled around them once to add some fear to set in before taking his seat at his cluttered desk filled with liquors of all sorts.

“What are two idiots punching each other in a field for?” Hwi Hwa said in a taunting yet calm manner. “Well, one of you.” He eyed Ban Ryu and the latter broke away from contact. The older man chuckles.

“No matter. We have to keep our image and reputation as a respectful place of education and training. We wouldn’t want news to get out to your families of your release, I presume?” Both boys stiffened. Ban Ryu knew what would happen if he disobeyed his fathers’* orders; it definitely wasn’t gonna be pretty. Yeol Woo wasn’t gonna have a source of entertainment anymore, and he lamented over that. Hwi Hwa knew he hit a spot, ensnaring them into his trap.

“It won’t happen again, sir.” Ban Ryu curtly replied.

“I concur for this side as well.” Yeol Woo quietly murmured.

“Good. I digress. Would you like some tea? Imported it from a province nearby.” The headmaster pours out some into simply-decorated, porcelain cups. Both deny it, with WooWoo getting even more red and Ban Ryu itching to leave to vent out his anger. The former stands up and leaves swiftly, the broad doors opening up and soon closing, engulfing the sun out a few moments later. It’s the other’s turn to leave, but is frozen in place when he hears the headmaster’s voice.

“Why don’t you keep me company a little longer?”

Ban Ryu gulped. His eyes went wide and his body trembled. He knew this could not end well. He turned around silently and sat back down on the wicker chair.

“Good. You can be obedient sometimes.” He pushed the cup in the direction of the boy with his fingertip. “You’ll need it after I’m done talking to you.”

~~~~~~

Meanwhile, right outside the door, Yeol Woo convinced (a.k.a. flirted with) the guards to let him linger around. He (and the guards) listened in, holding their breath to hear every single biting word.

They hear through the door an exchange of sorts.

“I know you. I know your family. And you know me. I’m not afraid to pull out my cards and flush you out. I can pull tricks unimaginable to torment you in this school. It hasn’t been a day since your last brawl. Tired with Soo Ho, I guess? Switching punching bags? I can use all these little incidents against you and kick you out. Daddy wouldn’t like that, would he?” Hwi Hwa cackles with ferocity and heartiness then continues. “This is power. The strong will tame and defeat the weak. The weak will comply. The son of a high-ranking dragon has let the fear spread over his face and has been quashed by a mere man. Where’s the power left in you now? Oh wait; you never had any. Remember that, kid.” He slams his hands on the table as he stands up, making Ban Ryu and the alcohol bottles shook.

The guards exclaim, “Damn, he’s pouring it on!” “That kid isn’t gonna survive in Hwi Hwa’s world!” “Whoo! ROAST!”

Yeol Woo knew his mistake. He had to rectify it but how? He learned tidbits of things he shouldn’t have known. He sparked something that shouldn’t have been ignited.

The door was being opened. Yeol Woo ran off, thinking on his plan of action. The guards reverted to their poker faces and demeanor.

“After you, weakling,” the headmaster snarled with a smirk, pulling a courtesy to open the doors himself. A defeated Ban Ryu was paler than the moon, his red lips highlighted even more than usual and his ebony eyes were wide with fright. He walked slowly and carefully, trying not to give in to his weak knees. He breathed gravelly and heavily, almost as if his lungs were weighed down by an elephant. His anger disappeared almost instantly; fear replaced it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He somehow stumbled back to his room and slumped himself onto his bed. He wasn’t in the mood to do anything. He felt small and useless, like a puppet. Casted away when he’s no longer needed or trampled upon when it’s his turn to perform lies. He truly was scared; he felt fear like never before and didn’t know how to handle it. He had no one to confide it, no one to turn to. His head was dizzy from all this new pressure and events he can’t wrap his head around so he closed his eyes to rest. Just a quick little rest is all he needs now…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yeol Woo knew what he was about to get into. He knew he wouldn’t interfere with this nut case, but his little heart took control over his mind. Yeol Woo poked his head up to the upper bunk, watching Ban Ryu quietly sleep. He squealed inside and watched the man’s long eyelashes flutter or twitch. He smiled in his sleep (but his body knew what it was doing and unconsciously reverted back to a scowl.) Sleep-talking came in every once in a while. Phrases like “FIGHT ME, SCRUB SOO HO!” or “I’ll take some chapchae and mandu, please” were muttered in his sleep. It was cute, and WooWoo embraced the urge to kiss him. A little peck on the cheek, Ban Ryu smiled but was still stuck in his dreams. Yeol Woo left a little gift in his hands and dashed off somewhere. He wanted to see if he could make a true, successful match with Ban Ryu.

Ban Ryu woke up eventually, noticing the letter and some flowers. He was at first shocked at how bold this person was to give a little bouquet of white chrysanthemums and what looked like a love letter, until he read it.

“My dearest Ban Ryu, I’m sorry for the complications I caused you today. I want to make it up to you. No drama, no traps, just a talk between us. I…heard some things that I shouldn’t have but I want to talk to you about it. I know I shouldn’t pry, and you don’t have to say anything. Just stay with me for a minute, get some air to loosen up that stuffy attitude of yours! I won’t set you up with anyone! I promise! And I won’t stalk you for a little while. Everyone is still roaming around; no one’s gonna care if two dudes hang out at a bar for a little bit! So what do you say? Come meet me at 9. -Your Amazing Friend, Yeol Woo”

“What the fuck is this? Leverage? Entertainment? Threats?” Ban Ryu, puzzled, tried to decode the underlying message. But he gave up quickly after that. At first, he decided not to go. But he changed it after wanting to give this man bitch a piece of his mind and seeing how this plays out. He changes and stomps out to the bar, white chrysanthemums in hand to sort out this nonsense.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yeol Woo, dolled up and catching the eyes of all the peasants, strolled to the bar with a look of confidence. But underneath was a feeling of dread and uncertainty: what’s gonna happen? Will he figure out how to solve this if it goes south? He shook his head to banish these dubious thoughts and continued in. He sees Ban Ryu, poker-faced as usual. He noticed the flowers in hand and hesitated for a moment.

“What is he doing?” Both thought. They met up at a table in a private room. Loud and sassy music filled the air, infecting almost everyone with its rhythm in the main hall. Men and women were dancing, singing, mingling, letting loose. Yeol Woo gingerly took his seat opposite Ban Ryu’s. For once, he wad at a loss for words. He just carried a conversation with a bullied Soo Ho and an energetic Hansung about Ji Dwi’s sleeping abs seven minutes ago. Now he can’t even utter a sound.

“What do you want with me? Spit it out.” Ryu wasn’t interested in this games. He wanted the truth and only the truth; he was tired as is and has his hands full, literally and metaphorically.

“Why’d you bring those flowers?”

“I want to know what these mean. Is this some form of mockery? Some joke as my title of a Hwarang*?”

Yeol Woo was appalled. “No! They have a special meaning! And I wanted to tal-”

“WHAT MEANING? WHAT IS THERE TO TALK ABOUT?” Ban Ryu roared. His nerves were already triggered when he talked to his headmaster; it was time that he snapped. The music covered up the muffled roar, and everyone ignorant to the events unfolding.

“There’s nothing for you to stick your ass in! Mind your own damn business!” Ryu threw the bouquet at the frightened WooWoo. He was done with everything. He didn’t need another nuisance on his plate. He moved towards the door, but stopped once heard a whisper barely audible in competition with the music.

“L-lo-oyalt-ty and-d de-devotion-n.” He stuttered. His voiced gradually strengthened and recovered. “Lov-ving support-t and pl-latonic affection. Pure love.”

Ban Ryu turned around, stunned by Yeol Woo’s words. He didn’t know how to take it. An almost complete stranger is asking, son of one of the mightiest and cutthroat advisors to royalty, to trust him and depend on him. Yeol Woo was on the verge of tears; he was overemotional considering all that happened. The two felt the tension and uncertainty, the two afraid to do a single thing except breathe.

Breaking the silence, Ryu walked towards Yeol Woo and knelt down. He took the latter’s hand and took it, saying [insert Eucharist shit], “I apologize for my actions. I didn’t mean to-”

“It’s fine. I understand. Everything is just rushing. Maybe we should just slow all this shit down.” He wiped his dramatic diva tears and fanned his face to dry non-waterproof makeup.

Of course, Ryu knew he wasn’t ready to share anything of substance or significance to him. But it was a start to have someone support him on his path. That thought calmed him and enlightened him “A friend.” He thought. “A friend.” He quietly smiled inwardly and decided to give this a shot.He took the dishelved flowers and tried to fix them, being the second-most awkward man alive (Seon Woo obviously holds the title for first.)

Yeol Woo laughed a little, still slightly shaken from the emotional roller coaster of a day. Hormones probably got to them and the atmosphere too because who knows? He sat on the floor and laid his head down on his crush’s shoulder when Ryu sat down, and together they talked. They laughed, awkwardly smiled, and hummed off-key to the tune of the music. They had some emotional moments, some comedic ones. Everything was heavenly, seeing Ban Ryu’s nose crinkle and his eyes smile brightly like the stars above them. To Ban Ryu, he was content with the mood and it was pleasing watching his new ‘friend’ be happy too. He felt his heartbeat lurch a little faster and likewise to the other too.

The two found what they needed the most. For Ban Ryu, a companion to be his anchor, even if it was sudden. For Yeol Woo, an honest chance at love. They held the bouquet together, their hands touching by accident. Both blush, maybe one a little too red. They spent the rest of the night revealing a little bit on themselves and getting a little closer before going home to the bunks before they get beat up by the guards for staying out late. Who knew that this pair would get along? And who knew that they weren’t really alone…?

A.k.a. Soo Ho, Ji Dwi, and Seon Woo saw everything at the bar that night. EVERYTHING.

“WHAT? HOW DOES THIS WORK? THE GODS COULDN’T HAVE BROUGHT THEM TOGETHER. HE OBVIOUSLY BELONGS TO-.” Soo Ho is cut short when Ji Dwi covers his mouth.

“Shut up you fucking idiot. You’ll give our position away. I ship it. Kinda. To be honest, I wanna see where this goes.”

“What’s a ‘ship’? Who does Ban Ryu belong to? What do you mean by position?” Seon Woo asked.

“SHUT UP SEON WOO. NO ONE ASKED YOU.” Both of them said in unison.

—————————————

Hey, this is a really long fic (it’s my first time going this long.) I mean, I might do something similar and make a chronicles of it like Delley/Shavey (which is coming back soon.) Kudos if you finished it and survived through the cringy clichés and tropes. I’m doing this for a friend, who’s my partner in motivating me to make this and a really close friend in real life. There’s probably grammar mistakes but I’m too lazy to send to my editor to check. I meant to cut it, but I’m too invested in it. If you like my work, cool. If you don’t think it’s your cup of tea, I suggest finding better writers than me. They have some good work.

*Yes, Ban Ryu despises being a Hwarang. Yes, he technically has two fathers. But this is an AU fanfic I suppose. There’s a few details that are different too, but whatever.

So thanks for reading.

To The Beautiful You,

Zelo

Ji Dwi: pfff, Sun Woo and I don’t have pet names for one another, we're cool.

Soo Ho: Uh yeah okay. Ji Dwi, what do bees make?

Ji Dwi: Honey?

Sun Woo: [from the kitchen] Yes love?

[just-some-other-reviews]

I’m writing this review just after I saw the last episode, so it’s pretty fresh in my memory. Also, I took notes all through the drama, so I’ll try to be the more accurate possible.

Hwarang: The Beginning is telling the story of the creation of the “Hwarangs” a group of young men who are educated in art, “philosophy” and swordsmanship to protect the Kingdom of Silla and their King. They’re the creation of Queen Ji-Soo, sitting on the throne at the place of her son, the faceless King, Sam Maek Jong. She will recruit young men from the best families to create the group of knights and, by the occasion, would propose her own Hwarang, Sun-Woo. He, originally, comes from a village outside of the town and, as he made his way in the city, he got severely injured because of the King and took the place of his dead friend, in Master An Ji’s family. At the same time, Sam Maek Jong had come back to the capital and decided to enter Hwarang to form himself. It’s a historic romance.

Maybe I shouldn’t write reviews just after watching drama. It always makes really long reviews… I tried to keep it short and spoilers free because, even though most of the plot twists are really predictable, knowing them for sure beforehand could be really annoying and make someone lose all his interest in the drama.

I started watching the drama after I read the synopsis and had really high hopes for it. I’ll have to admit, the first episode is a bit slow, but it sets the bases of the story. Yet, it doesn’t make you instantly hooked if you don’t know what’s coming. Passed that episode, the others were awesome, mostly due to the bromances. I mean, I’ll be honest. The romance in the story is annoying and not really interesting. Ah-Ro isn’t the most likable character, she’s pretty cliché and I really wished that she’ll be killed. She only stirs up problems for the male leads and seems to always butt in so she’ll make the story regress. Yes, the male leads are in a bromance and with Su-Hoo x Ban-Ryu, it’s the cutest out of all of them. Ji Dwi (Sam Maek Jong) and Sun-Woo are like cats and dogs most of the drama, but they have a great chemistry (a better one than the lead couple in my opinion). Their friendship, even if it follows the typical progression of male friendship between the leads by having a pretty strong moment of useless confrontation because of the female lead, is absolutely awesome and helps both characters to develop. Before I start talking about the characters, since I have a lot of things to say about them, I’ll focus on the story. As I said, the first episode isn’t that good and, I mean, it didn’t make me like the story. Then starting from episode two to, around, ten, the story is centered around the Hwarangs and I thought it was well-paced and was really interesting. When the screenwriter moved the focus from the “knights” to the King, it was still okay… Well, until like episode fourteen. At some point, the hesitation of Ji Dwi is just too much, Sun-Woo boldness is plain annoying and their friendship collapses, so I had no more interest in the story. After episode fourteen, things kept being dragged and the story doesn’t progress. Until episode eighteen, it was, for me, a true torture to keep watching the episodes. I mean… It became my second place “Monday drama”, since it had been my first place “Monday drama” after Romantic Doctor Kim ended. I mean, it was the episodes I was waiting for, until the story started to feel stretched. After the episode eighteen, the story finds again its original pace by focusing on the rivalry between the two leads, but not only because of the female lead. The last episode was probably the episode who had the better pace of the show and the one I enjoyed the most, since it was the only one in which I had a reasonable doubt about what the ending would be. Because I’m talking about the ending, I’ll simply say that I was quite deceived by the story progression. I didn’t feel as if the potential of the story was fully exploited. There was so much potential, but the screenwriter kept the story very predictable and simple.

For what it is of the characters, as I said before, the female lead is really annoying. I didn’t feel as if she had her own personality. She was just always creating problems and acting carelessly. She just keeps acting in a bratty way. The male lead, Sun-Woo, would have been way better if he wasn’t in a romantic liaison with Ah-Ro. Sure, his awkwardness and kind of “pushy” personality could annoy some, but I thought he was a really human character. He wasn’t simply a stereotype, even though he shared many traits of the awkward, first time in love, male lead. He was, in some way, really charming, even though he couldn’t beat the second male lead. Yep because Ji-Dwi was really awesome until his character was completely ruined by the script. The whole notion of putting him in position of power, but without power and see him try to keep up with everything that is happening makes his character truly enjoyable, most of the time. Then, there’s four other Hwarangs that are important. I’ll really talk briefly about them. Ban-Ryu had really a great evolution and. even if he wasn’t a really “nice” character when the story started, his personality changed in a realistic way through the drama as he grew stronger and become more developed. For what it is of Su-Hoo he was, through the whole drama, the Queen’s follower. I was glad that his personality was more developed than simply that, but I thought his allegiance was a bit annoying at some time because it brought him to do really unnecessary and stupid actions that didn’t really allow the story to progress. For Wool-Rang, even though he wasn’t that present in the story, he was my favorite character. I mean, he had a quirky and flirty personality that always brought me a smile and his situation was really interesting. Finally, another character that was a bit put aside was Sung-Rang. Many people had really anticipated V’s debut in a kdrama. I have to admit that I watched the drama for Seo-Joon, so… But, let’s talk about his character. He was absolutely charming, but I kind of felt as if he was stuck and didn’t really have the time to truly evolve or change.

I’ll conclude here because it’s already way too long for a review. I would give the plot a 6/10 mainly because of the episodes 14-17 and because of the first episode and i would give a 3/5 for the characters because I didn’t feel as if the characters were equally developed through the drama and some characters who weren’t that present were enormously developed, while really present ones weren’t.

Hwarang Ep 10 thoughts

I’m still mainly watching for all the Ban Ryu x SooHo action.

Princes SookMyung is BAD-ASS. I love her. I like how she's so cold and distant towards her mother, but mega talented and firey too. I can't wait to see her with her brother. I'd be interested to see her fall in love with a 'half-breed' like SunWoo if I didn't know his character already had a leading lady -__- Hansung is adorable, I honestly thought I might find his character annoying but now I think his cute relief is actually kind of necessary. JI DWI GOING ALL BADASS AND BEING KINGLY IS MY KINK, I MEAN YESSSSSSSS. SooYeon and her brother have fantastic on-screen chemistry. I love how he was the one who said he had to toughen his sister up and so far she's knocked him unconscious and nearly broken his neck cause he's hurt her man. + Pa Oh pretending to be twenty two so he can go protect Ji Dwi was hilarious. Not enough YeoWool in these two episodes sadly, but then again I'd watch a solid 90minutes of that beautiful character. kay so that's all the good out of the way. The last scene with Ah Ro doing USELESS k-drama pandering CPR on Sun Woo made me want to throw my cat at the TV. JUST NO. Also is it just me or has Ah Ro done nothing these past two episodes except cry? Ugh that whole scene, her confessing her love to this suddenly very dead for no apparent reason guy, as a doctor who can't tell if someone's alive or not or even perform basic CPR correctly - then he just wakes up and kisses her?! I'm surprised he didn't fall off his horse straight onto her lips, honestly. SO not into the main leads but the rest of the characters really do make up for it which is why I'm still watching. Also genuinely slightly interested in SunWoo's origins and who this mysterious guy who was in line to the throne before his legs failed him is.

[love-n-laugh013]

I have shipping problems..... I don't know if I want to ship Ah Ro x Sun Woo or Ah Ro x Ji Dwi... UGGGGHHHHH

Hwarang :: Ban Ryu x reader :: Part 2

Thank you to all those who left likes and feedback! It let’s me know that someone out there is reading the mess of words I’m throwing up here. It really helps me write :) This one is short I’m sorry but I like how it concluded haha!

Part 1

The sun seeps through the paper blinds and I groan flopping over...into something squishy. “Wha…” I mumble prying my sleep glued eyes open. There lay Han Sung cuddled into my side, he must’ve gotten cold during the night. With a yawn I pat his soft long tresses causing him to childishly giggle. “How did you get all the way over here?” He groans and nuzzles himself into my neck, “Knew you wouldn’t get mad for cuddling.” With a thoughtful nod I shrug “That’s true, smart. Good for you Han Sung but I think it’s time to wake up.” He groans tightening his hold around my waist, I shake my head at his cuteness as I attempt to get up. A louder sigh is heard in the room gaining my attention, rubbing the sleep from my eyes I could make out a pair of lovely dark eyes glaring from the mattress beside mine. “Morning grumpy,” I hum earning an eye roll before he flops back down, rolling onto his side. With his back facing me I crawl over Han Sung towards Ban Ryu. “Hey,” I whisper poking his shoulder. “What?” “Are you excited to be humiliated today in front of everyone during sword practice?” He rolls his eyes again but this time I could see a small smirk pulling at his lips. “Is that a yeah?” I tease poking at his chest. He holds my wrist firmly before leaning close into my ear. “You flirt a lot for a man,” he lowly whispers making sure none of the sleeping men hear. I grin, “I can’t help it. You’re cute.” And that was the first time I heard him let out a low chuckle, “How bold.”

 -

 “Ah! Ah! See what did I tell you!” I exclaim pointing my wooden practice sword at his throat. This was my continuous win, I couldn’t help but feel extremely excited considering the embarrassing face punch I received yesterday. “Oh hohoho, you are really skilled and fast!” Exclaims Soo Ho who stopped practicing with Sun Woo to observe our match. “Ah not really, I just practiced a lot with my sister,” I smile humbly when deep down I wanted to burst into a victory dance on top of Ban Ryu’s thick stubborn skull. The famous playboy whistles while fanning himself with his hand, “Your sister sounds hot, a girl who is good at sword fighting? Can I meet her?” Blood rushes up to my cheeks, “Of course not!” “Aww how come! She’s probably adorable!” Pipes in Han Sung who also paused his training, eventually everyone gathered around me and Ban Ryu questioning about my ‘sister’. “I-I don’t think that would be a good idea haha,” I nervously laugh. “Why not?” I glare at Ban Ryu who had the smuggest smirk on his face, that little piece of-. “See even jerk face wants to meet her!” Soo Ho exclaims, “How about we meet her tonight? There isn’t much planned for the evening but etiquette lessons.” I reluctantly nod while scheming a master plan that would ruin Ban Ryu’s evening. If I’m going down I’m taking him with me.

With a yawn I stretch my tight back, sitting on the hard ground for hours on end learning etiquette was so boring. The only amusing part was that grumpy silver spoon excelled in it. Even though his gestures were elegant and smooth his resting face said otherwise which I found hilarious. The lessons finally ended when the sun started to set, and here marks the beginning of a hectic evening. Before I could even get off my numb bottom Soo Ho was already at my side with the brightest smile, “Go get your sister!” I nod thoughtfully, “Ah yeah I just remembered that she has a night job I don’t think she can make it.” The man puppy pouted, and I knew my excuses weren’t going to work, “So I guess I will fill in for her and you guys can show her around?” As quickly as the frown appeared it disappeared into his usual bright smile, “Sounds good!”

 I ran to A-Ro’s house where she kindly helped me keep my clothes. She bursts out in laughter when I told her the mess I got myself in. “Here wear this one. Since usually you wear dark colours when impersonating as a man it would make you look more different.” She was clever I was glad to have her help. I pull on a floral print pink and white hanbok and brushed my bangs across my forehead. “Is this alright?” She hums tapping her chin in thought, “Ah wear the hairpin your brother got you!” I almost forgot about it, rummaging through the wooden box that held all my belongings I found the hairpin that my brother saved up to buy for me. It was the only prized possession I had that’s why I rarely wore it, I smile feeling the carved grooves with my thumb. A-Ro braids the pieces of hair behind my ear into a small bun where she secured the pin in. “Now you are ready to go!” She proudly claps.

 This was more nerve racking than entering the palace as a Hwarang. When impersonating a man my confidence hit sky high, now that I was in my normal skin I couldn’t help but walk with my head down like I always did. As the club came into view with my friends gathered at the entrance I took in a deep breath, so ready to turn on my heels and make a mad dash back to A-Ro’s. “I can do this, I can do this, I can do this!” I chant under my breath slowly approaching the tall men. “Um hi,” I timidly greet tugging at Soo Ho’s sleeve. He whips around and looks down at me with a shocked expression before his face lights up, “Oh my are you Aga’s little sister?” He reaches out and cups my face in his large hands, I pretended to be confused, “Aga?” “He meant Gun Chul,” Ji Dwi smiles warmly and I nod slowly, “Ah yeah I’m (Y/n)! It’s an honor to meet you all.” I smile bowing my head. Soo Ho wheezes cupping his own face, mumbling out an almost incoherent “So cute.” As they entered the club Han Sung lagged behind with me, he was quieter than usual which I found weird so I decided to initiate a conversation, “And you are Han Sung right? My brother told me about you. You are very kind I heard, thank you for taking care of him for me,” I smile linking my arm with his, his mouth gapes a bit before he innocently smiles with a nod.

 The Okta club looked a lot more crowded than usual. Even though I was having fun I kept searching for Ban Ryu, no matter how much he likes to dampen the mood I couldn’t help but want his attention. After about five drinks he finally arrives and boy did I feel the alcohol. Usually I barely drank since I was dirt broke but my friends wouldn’t stop offering me drinks tonight, Soo Ho contributed to at least three of them. A dull throb resonates in my skull as I let out a groan, dropping my head into my arms that rested on the wooden table. Someone sat beside me and placed a warm hand on my shoulder, “What did you idiots do to her?” Oh that deep voice belongs to Ban Ryu I thought in my swimming brain. I could already sense him rolling his eyes when the guys tried to explain how they all wanted to buy me a drink. “Come on, let’s get you some fresh air,” he says indifferently pulling me up rather gently from my spot. Surprisingly none of the guys raised their concerns letting Ban Ryu from all people to escort me away. He wraps one arm around my waist as his other hand tilts up my face towards his, and he sighs.

 Ban Ryu’s point of view

 Holding her in my arms I look down into her flush face, with a drowsy gaze and puffed out cheeks she looked rather cute. Although no one would catch me admit that, ever. “What am I going to do with you?” I groan at her carelessness while dragging her away from the unnecessarily loud Hwarang members. She lets out a small hiccup before wrapping her arms around my waist much too tightly. “I’m feeling sick…” she whines burying her face into my chest as I drag her through the crowded club, “And that’s your fault for being careless.” She looks up with tears streaming down her face, “I’m sorry!” she cries with the ugliest face I’ve ever witnessed, which was surprisingly borderline adorable. Almost out the door I heard the all too familiar squeals of my really unwanted harem of females. “Great,” I breathe turning around to see the group of annoying pests who all started talking at once: “Ahhh who’s that?” “Why don’t you spend time with me instead?” “I’m much prettier than her! Hold me instead!” “How pathetic of her for troubling you.” “Wow she’s crying look how ugly she is!” I could feel my blood boil, not only were their comments as annoying as usual they were bad mouthing this girl…this really dumb girl in my arms. I still don’t understand why I cared so much for the poor decision making female but I knew I wanted to keep her safe. With the angry thoughts running through my head I couldn’t reply to the group of fan girls fast enough before the only girl I sort of cared about shoved me off of her small frame. “So mean…” she trails off with a pout before rubbing at her tearstained cheeks, “Sorry…for bothering you.” The short (h/c) mumbles before stumbling out the exit.

 At that point I was seething and all I saw was red. I couldn’t even process what I wanted to say to those girls being so furious so I quickly chased after the waddling idiot. I shout after her but she couldn’t hear, or that dumb girl decided to ignore me, regardless I chased after her. When I finally reached her I pulled her into my arms, “I said hey you dumbass why don’t you listen for once?” Even though I was holding onto her tightly she continued to attempt walking forwards, all the while crying. We looked stupid, I could feel the stares of people entering and exiting the club, but surprisingly I didn’t care for once in my life. “Will you please calm down?” I softly ask pulling her into me, holding her tightly. She nods looking at the dirt ground, “I wanna sit” she sniffles. I nod guiding her towards the trees where it was more secluded. She flops onto the ground before I could help her, even though it was clear that I sort of cared for her over the short time I got to know her I still couldn’t refrain from rolling my eyes. She whines when her bottom hit the grass, “Ow…the ground is hard.” At that moment I wanted to strangle her.

 Flaring my nostrils I sat myself onto the ground and patted my lap, “Dummy of course it would hurt if you flop around like that.” Instead of bursting out in tears she drunkenly giggled before crawling on her hands and knees and into my lap. The messy haired (h/c) nestles herself into my chest, nuzzling her heated face into my neck as her hands tangles itself in my long locks of hair. “You are a troublesome Hwarang aren’t you? You idiot.” She looks up, long eyelashes hooding her large (e/c) eyes, “You’re mean…just like those girls!” I roll my eyes, “I’m letting you sit on me aren’t I?” The girl huffs before hitting me, hard, in the chest with a closed fist, “You keep calling me mean names!” “It’s because I don’t know your name.” “Oh,” she replies with her mouth slightly ajar. My gaze never leaving hers, a waiting for the big reveal of her name but it never came. Instead her eyes started fluttering shut as she fell asleep mid conversation. “And because you are dumb,” I sigh running my fingers through her long tresses as she contently started to snore, very loudly.

 -

 The boy who made my blood boil turned out to be just an idiotic girl, who happened to steal my heart within a very short period of time. She was stupid, impossible, I wanted to strangle her for being so infuriating, but ultimately what bothered me the most about her is that she makes my heart skip a beat whenever she’s around. And to top everything off, I don’t even know her name.

Part 3
