note: [please if u saw any weird stuff just lmk]

It was early 2009, the era of Blackberry phones, MP3 players, and oversized school blazers. Mina, a high school junior, was on a school trip with her classmates, heading to a historical site outside the city. The bus ride had been loud, filled with chatter, camera flashes, and the occasional ringtone of "let’s go party" by 2NE1

Their bus came to a halt at a gas station for a short break, and students from different schools poured out, eager to stretch their legs and raid the small supermarket attached to the station. Mina, in desperate need of a snack, pushed through the crowd and entered the store. But just as she reached for a bag of chips, she froze.  

There, by the instant noodle aisle, stood her cousin—Jihyun. The one person she wanted to avoid at all costs. He was older, annoyingly nosy, and always had something to say about her life. If he saw her, he’d either start teasing her about school or try to embarrass her in front of her friends.  

Panicking, Mina did the only thing she could think of—hide.  

She swiftly ducked behind a stack of massive water bottles near the beverage section, hoping to make herself invisible. Just as she was crouching down, she heard a chuckle from above.  

Turning her head slightly, she saw a tall guy leaning against the shelf, watching her with amusement. He had shaggy black hair that fell over his eyes, a sharp jawline, and a lazy smirk playing on his lips. He was holding a bottle of soda, looking as though he had just witnessed the most entertaining thing ever.  

“Uh… what are you doing?” he asked, his deep voice laced with laughter.  

Mina pursed her lips, debating whether to answer or just ignore him. But she figured he had already seen too much.  

“I’m… hiding,” she admitted, peeking between the bottles to check if Jihyun had noticed her.  

The guy raised an eyebrow. “From who? A teacher? A stalker?”  

“My cousin.”  

He laughed, a rich, hearty sound. “That bad, huh?”  

Mina sighed. “You have no idea.”  

Instead of walking away, the guy crouched down beside her, his presence suddenly making the ridiculous situation feel less embarrassing.  

“Well, if you’re gonna hide, you need a better strategy,” he said, glancing around. Then, without warning, he grabbed a random magazine from a nearby rack and held it up in front of her face. “Here. Pretend you’re super invested in reading this. If he looks this way, I’ll block his view.”  

Mina blinked at him. “Why are you helping me?”  

“Because this is hilarious,” he admitted, grinning. “And because I feel like we’re in some kind of spy movie.”  

She let out a quiet laugh, relaxing a little. “What’s your name?”  

“Seunghyun. But my friends call me T.O.P.”  

Mina tilted her head. “That’s… a unique nickname.”  

He shrugged. “It’s a long story.”  

Before she could ask more, she heard her cousin’s voice getting closer. Mina tensed, gripping the magazine tighter. True to his word, T.O.P casually shifted his body, leaning against the shelf in a way that shielded her from view.  

After a few tense seconds, Jihyun walked past without noticing her. Mina let out a relieved sigh and turned to T.O.P with an impressed look.  

“Okay, I owe you one,” she said, standing up.  

“You can pay me back by telling me what school trip you’re on,” he said, stuffing his hands into his hoodie pockets.  

Mina furrowed her brows. “Why?”  

“Because I’m on one too.”  

Her eyes widened. “Wait… are you serious?”  

T.O.P pulled out his phone and flashed the itinerary on the screen. Mina stared at it, then pulled out hers. Identical schedules.  

“No way.”  

“Looks like we’re stuck on the same trip,” he said with a smirk. “Guess this won’t be our last meeting.”  

Mina didn’t know why, but something about the way he said that made her feel like this trip was about to get a lot more interesting.

Foi mais fácil do que imaginei. É curioso como a vivência e a maturidade nos fazem ver a mesma situação de forma muito diferente. Hoje vejo como tudo que já passei contribuiu para a pessoa que sou. Isso é muito especial.

Sorry, I can't get over the ThamePo/tempo thing that @thebroccolination's friend pointed out.

In my tags of their post I reblogged, I wrote (read: screamed) that it's 'tempo' because of music, because they're in an idol group.

But then I thought about the full title...and that ending to today's ep:

Heart That Skips a Beat

And I realised it's also about a rhythm, a beat, a heartbeat...time...and how the heartbeat speeds up - increases in tempo - in that moment of attraction.

Tempo is everything about this show. The right time to be together, the right time to go their separate ways. When to feel they have achieved their goals, how to persist when things feel like failure. The music and songs that bring the group together, the steady, regular beat that keeps them in time, in tune with each other during their performances, in the dances. And the time Thame and Po take to get to know each other (9 hours and whatever minutes long it was), the rhythmical repetition of a phone number remembered, the time to stop still and wait and listen and feel the tempo change.

I know there'll be more to add to this as the series goes on but honestly I'm so blown away at this discovery and I can't believe we haven't noticed it earlier. Anyway, thanks again to Key's friend 💙

🎄 Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! 🎄

This year I wanted to do a redraw of an old piece for my Holiday drawing, wanting to update it with my newer characters and updating the designs. I just didn't realize that it has been 10 years since that piece.

I hope you all enjoy this piece 💝

I'm including the timelapse and the comparison with the original drawing under the Read More for anyone interested 👍
