y/n: how many times have you said that???

y/n: thanks guys, that's why i always do my best during training.

y/n: i'll try reaching for the nationals spot, promise.

minji: we appreciate your hardwork bro! you're like super busy with training and such!

minji: and we want those hours of hardwork to be worth it!

hanni: ya plus, you really deserve it this time!

hanni: if you need something you can always ask us!

"unnie! come here!" you look up from your phone to the living room where your sister is sitting on the couch on her laptop for something. you sigh before standing up from the dining table chair and making your way to the living room with your phone. "what's up?" you ask, standing beside the couch, darting your eyes on your sister who is leaning on the laptop. her face is almost close to smothering the monitor of her laptop. "don't sit like that, do you want to be a shrimp forever?" you tell your sister before putting a hand on her back, causing her to stir and sit straight, looking up to you.

"oh hi!" youngseo sighs before turning the laptop for you to see. "unnie, can you help me? i've been working on this position paper for a while but i really can't take a grasp of it." you nod and take the laptop to read what your sister has written so far.

"i assume this is a position paper?" you ask, youngseo's face lights up and she nodded.

"yeah! we were asked to pick an editorial cartoon and make two positions for it, then choose one and make a position paper out of it." youngseo answers, she leans on the couch and scratches her cheeks, pursing her lips. you nod as you read the paper, apparently it's about the spread of fake information with the use of social media — having some experience in writing before, you expected the paper to be a lot more easier.

with that in mind, you turn to look at your sister with pure confusion. "what's so hard about this? it's just a position paper." you tell your sister who then sighs and shakes her head. "no! you don't get it! we were given a 10 page format for the paper, i really did think too that it was easy but it's not." youngseo protests, shrugging and standing up, she walks next to you and gives you a side hug. "come on unnie! please help me..." she whispers and buries her head to your shoulder.

you couldn't help but sigh of course, you still have the laptop in your arms and you look at your sister. "i'm really worried about you, what if i wasn't here?" you tell her with a chuckle, the younger girl pouts and sticks out her tongue. "but you're here and you have no choice." she lets go of you and you take it as a chance to place the laptop on the coffee table and cross your arms.

"alright, i'll help. send me the format and this google document link." you tell your sister who nods and smiles brightly at you. "thank you so much sis!" she laughs and claps her hands. you shake your head in faux disbelief. "make sure to check out the document and be updated." you remind her before leaving and making your way to your room which was upstairs.

"okay unnie! i love you!" you hear your younger sister as you leave.

it's funny, you really did have good intentions for your sister when you finally received the link of the document and the paper format — youngseo was right, the formatting of the position paper required was different than the usual, it followed certain paragraph forms that aren't usually used.

when you opened the google document link, you started editing some stuff and entering new paragraphs, making sure you follow the format and the right grammar — the thing is, you didn't know that you were using an email account you didn't mean to use.

minji'spinkytoe@gmail.com

another thing is that, you didn't know another person beside you was making edits and writing on the same document. your sister had never mentioned that the work she was doing that you were now working on was a project that is done by pair.

"minji's pinky toe..? is this youngseo?" a certain girl behind the account: mdaniellebasiceduc@hybe.com muttered under her breath, they've been working on this project for almost 1 week as the allotted time for the work is 1 month, in those 7 days she and jiwoo shared — the girl had never used this account and have been using her school account.

now this account that is sharing the same document as she was is an account she had never seen before, not only the name was questionable but it's also quite peculiar how much work the person behind the account has done in just a span of an hour — usually youngseo would be asking several questions and will take time before writing a new paragraph just to make sure she's doing the right thing.

danielle scrolls to the recent paragraph that the account is currently working on.

your eyes spots the anonymous puppy in the document and squints your eyes. "is youngseo active?" you look up to see there's another account working on the paper and click on it to see the email.

"huh?" you whisper to yourself. you watch as the person starts typing out a sentence besides the one you just finished.

youngseo? why is your email account named like that?

"like what?" you ask yourself before clicking to check the email you're using and to your surprise, you immediately gasp as your eyes lands on the account that hanni made in your laptop. "oh my god, what is this?" you start to panic realizing that the person in the same document might have thought that youngseo is the one behind the email account.

"holy shit..." you mutter before typing an answer to danielle's question.

oh my god, i'm sorry i was using the account my sister's friend made.

danielle blinked as the anonymous raccoon finally answered.

you couldn't help but sigh and slap yourself due to embarrassment and now you'll hear youngseo whining into your ears for putting her on an awkward situation.

BEEHIVE TAVERN

y/n: dude what the fuck?

y/n: [sent an attachment]

hanni: LMFAOOOO what's the context?

y/n: don't you ask my ass you know what's up.

minji: what's the matter?

y/n: dude hanni made an account on my laptop named minji'spinkytoe and youngseo's classmate saw it.

hanni: NO WAY LMFAOOOO

minji: bro what the fuck? my what? ಠ⁠_⁠ʖ⁠ಠ

minji: hanni what the fuck!!??

hanni: look it's supposed to be a joke since you sent me a pic of your toe.

hanni: and ofc i didn't know ms. lee right here wouldn't notice.

y/n: how am i supposed to know? ���⁠‿⁠ಥ

y/n: my sis asked me to help her with her paper and i didn't know someone else besides her was working on the document.

minji: DUDE WHY MY TOE ┻⁠┻⁠︵⁠ヽ⁠(⁠`⁠Д⁠´⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠︵⁠┻⁠┻

minji: why not y/n's toe instead?

hanni: cause it's funny okay!!?? →⁠(⁠°⁠ ⁠۝ ⁠°⁠)⁠┗

y/n: youngseo's gonna scream on my ears tonight (⁠●⁠´⁠⌓⁠`⁠●⁠)

turns out you really weren't wrong because as soon as you got downstairs your sister suddenly appeared as if she was teleporting. "youngseo—!" you're caught off guard and your sister crosses her arms on her chest with a sharp glare. "why did you use that horrible account?" she asks.

"youngseo look, hanni made that account and i accidentally used it because i didn't know!" you explain watching as she turns her back to you and walks upstairs to your father's office with her feet stomping on the floor. "hey don't tell dad!" you tell her but she turns around to you with a frown. "then why did you tell dani that it was me using it?" you laugh sheepishly and shrugged.

"cause i didn't want her to think you're letting your sister do the work." you answer, youngseo takes some deep breaths and raises her hand to your face. "keep it, thank you for your help but starting tomorrow i will be working on that paper again." she tells you and leaves to enter her room, leaving you confused with her sudden change of mood.

marsh danielle

youngseo: hey dani, i was just gonna say it was actually my sister who was using that account.

youngseo: i asked for her help and lent her the google document.

youngseo: she just really has the most annoying friends ever.

danielle: hey youngseo!

danielle: it's alright, i did kind of think it was funny tho...

youngseo: yeah she's goofy and stupid.

danielle: her name's y/n right? and your youngest sis is hyein?

youngseo: yup, why?

danielle: nothing, i heard your older sis is joining the regional table tennis competition and might make it to the national team.

youngseo: ohhh yeah, but she has to win the regionals first and then she's going to compete in japan before qualifying for nationals.

danielle: that's awesome! good luck to her.

danielle: i'm competing for the regional journalism competition and i'm covering for sports so i was a bit curious.

youngseo:...so you want to meet her or something?

danielle: yes, kind of.

"oooh isn't that danielle?" hanni's voice rolls inside your ears while you are tying your shoes, you look up at your two friends who are whispering towards each other. "who?" you stand in the middle not too far from the duo who both look at you at the same time. "the sports writer for HYBE chronicles." minji answers, you look towards the girl's direction and then to minji.

"you know her?" you ask, minji shakes her head and looks at hanni. "do you?"

"of course not, she's pretty popular okay? and she's attending your competition for the HYBE chronicles." hanni answers, you look once again to danielle and try to decipher what memory you have that reminds you of her name.

but to no avail, you really don't remember anything.

"her name sounds familiar" you tell your friends who both look at you in unison. hanni laughs as if mocking you, she points her index finger towards you with a smirk. "what? she talked to you before?" she says.

minji raises her brows and looks at you with surprise written on her face. "wait really?"

you roll your eyes and shake your head. "duh, no. i just remembered my sister mentioning it once."

while the three of you talk, danielle turns her head around to spot you out of all the people that are present in the park inside the school premises.

"can i excuse myself for a bit?" danielle asks the people who are also a part of their organization, she gets an approval before she takes her leave and makes her way to you and your friends.

you feel minji nudging your sides and you glare at her. "dude what the hell do you want?" you tell her and notice she's staring right in front of you, hanni also was speaking. you turn your head to see danielle making her way to you with a smile.

"hi! your youngseo's sister right?" danielle asks you and you feel your knees shaking, your shoulders feel stiff under her graze. this must be your sister's classmate, yes you figured it really might be her. you look at your two friends who just had their eyes on you with a worried expression. you smile at danielle before scratching your cheeks and nodding.

"oh yeah, right. i'm her sister, is there anything i can help you with?" you ask danielle who only smiled brighter and even giggled. "wow, i've been hearing a lot about you since the division competition and i was so stoked to see you." minji and hanni exchanged looks as you and danielle stood face to face between the duo. you feel your blood boiling upwards to your cheeks causing it to glow red.

you're super sure you've never seen a girl as pretty as danielle, maybe there were some before but if you were to be really honest it really feels like you're talking to the sun itself with the way the girl glows right in front of your eyes.

it's blinding and even the way she smiles doesn't help it.

"ah, yeah... i'm also excited about it. you're also competing right? for the HYBE chronicles..?" you ask her, sounding so cheesy and sheepish hanni felt like she was about to vomit on the spot, but danielle only nodded and even gave you a small tap on your shoulders.

the way her soft fingers trailed on your blazer caused you to almost fall. almost.

"yes! we're publishing our online newspaper and we'll also take our legacy by printing out these papers and submitting them in an international competition." the way danielle talks about it, made her seem more amazing to your eyes — you barely even know this girl but the way she carried herself almost had you wanting to carry her too, with your not-so-flimsy arms.

"god... that sounds amazing." you barely even understand whatever she was saying but you were sure enough that you knew what that meant: danielle is everyone's it girl.

hanni grimaced at your response and minji couldn't help but chuckle, even putting a hand on her mouth. "i know right? you must feel very happy about yours too, i can't wait to cheer you on! good luck." with that, danielle bid her goodbye and left, leaving you with your two idiotic friends.

"ho! ho! hold on! what was that?" hanni asks, holding her hands to your face with a surprise look on her face, minji shrugs and smiles— seeing your lovestruck face at the encounter with such a gorgeous girl. you smile, blinking your eyes slowly, watching danielle go back to talking with her friends. "i don't know..." you mutter.

"wow, she actually knows you? i didn't expect she'd care." minji laughs, she's kidding actually, it's not like you're not that popular too but she likes messing with you sometimes. "you're pulling girls now?" hanni asks, raising her brow at you, you shake your head and bury your face on your palm, smiling. "no! god leave me alone hanni." you say, but smiling hard as you turn away — the duo looks at each other and shrugs.

"i'm still embarrassed by the fact i used an account named minji's toenail and danielle saw it." you sigh as you plopped down your bed, you had your two amazing friends to stay with you in your room before you go through a long training session for the tournament. minji rolls her eyes at your statement.

"how are you more embarrassed? that's literally my toenail." minji scoffs, earning a laughter from hanni who gripped the edge of your table. "i'm so sorry minji, just don't send photos of your toenail next time alright?" hanni says, wiping a tear from her eyes.

"why not? that was such a silly impression to make." you tell your friends, minji sits next to you on your bed — her weight sinking. "since when did you care about your impression to girls? last time i checked you couldn't even answer a simple mathematical problem to impress a girl." minji crosses her arms on her chest, looking down at you.

"and you used to have stomach aches when a girl talks to you." hanni adds, this causes you to scoff with how true their words are.

yes, you used to never care about your impression on girls even if you'd regret it after since you used to have the biggest and most pathetic crushes on girls you were sure you can never have.

maybe because you've grown or was it really because it's danielle — but you can't ever fuck it up, you don't want to mess this up, there's no way you'll let go of the chance god has given you to crawl your way to danielle's life.

"call it puberty hanni, but i swear i've never seen a girl as pretty as danielle before — not as smart and not as kind." you sit up on your bed and look at your friends, minji scrunches her face at you. "again, how sure are you? you don't even know her." she says. you give minji a deadpan look and answer. "do you? that's why i need to make a good impression and get to know her so we can be friends and eventually i can ask her out."

"i do admire you for considering being friends first with her. but hey, i think you've already made a good impression i mean she did approach you, right?" hanni being a good friend for once says. you look at her and shrug. "really?" you ask.

minji rolls her eyes. "you have a fucked up sense of self-esteem huh? she literally said she's stoked to see you because she's heard of you. she's the head of the sports writing and chief editor of the HYBE chronicles. how will she not have such an impression of you?"

you stand up and look at your friends, your back facing your door as you raise your hands. "woah, you mean i have the chance?" you ask your friends, causing them to grimace together. hanni looks at you with disbelief. "of course you have dumbass!" causing minji to laugh.

"we'll support you in your tournament just in case danielle's present there."

the door opens slightly and your friends all look surprised to see the person behind you, you turn around to follow their gazes only to see danielle standing there with the doorknob in her hand. "oh! sorry, i didn't know where youngseo's room was." you stare at her with no words and smile. "it's okay... you'll sleepover in youngseo's room?" you ask, fully turning your body around and blocking your friends' view of danielle.

"yes, we have another project together and i thought it would be a great idea to stay over for the night." danielle answers, smiling at you brightly — your face lightens up, warmth engulfed your cheeks and ears start to burn red. "really? have you eaten dinner yet?" you ask again, tilting your head with a silly smile. danielle shakes her head and giggles. "not yet, i have just arrived." you put a hand on your cheek and look away. "oh okay, the door next to mine is youngseo's room —"

"danielle! what are you doing there? my sis and her annoying friends are there." youngseo exits her room and looks at you with a deadpan expression. danielle nods and waves at your sister. "oh, i thought this was your room." danielle looks back at you and peeks at your friends waving her hand. "bye guys and..." she looks at your again and taps your shoulder. "bye y/n." before leaving and entering your sister's room.

"oh my god is that danielle!?" hanni stands up from her seat and puts her hands on her head with a surprised look on her face. minji laughs and slaps her thighs. you turn around and close the door with a stupid smile, limply making your way to your bed to throw yourself again. "you should be nice to your sister, she's carrying all these interactions on her back." minji says, patting your back.

you breathe heavily, trying to process the situation with the way danielle touched your shoulder. it felt like a feather fell on your way with how soft her fingers were.

you push yourself up with a determined expression. "i have an idea." you propose.

"you'll cook a meal for youngseo and her friend?" hanni asks, following you as you enter inside the kitchen and starts checking for ingredients around the cabinets. minji stands next to hanni, nodding her head. "no, i'll cook meals for us." you correct her and continue rummaging around any drawers or cabinets you see. "but technically because danielle's here. i mean, when did you cook for us anyway?" minji raises her hands and raises her brows.

"don't forget some nights." you grumble and glare at minji as you prefer the ingredients, minji scrunches her face. "reluctantly." she corrects you.

you ignore her and start chopping garlic and opening the stove, placing the pan on the stove to let it heat while the duo takes their time to gossip together at the kitchen diner table.

"i didn't think about writing academic papers being this hard before, i can usually ace them without doing so much." youngseo sighs as she leans on her coffee table with a small grumble, muttering a curse about how writing papers at their age seems to have been more difficult than it did before. lately, their projects have been revolving around writing lab reports and academic papers such as essays and position papers, even manifestos.

and youngseo is smart herself but usually she's more of a science and mathematics smart not writing smart, good thing she met danielle who's known for her writing wits, whether it may be creative writing or not.

"academic writing is like driving school, there's sets of rules you need to follow and it's really hard to master writing but once you get a hang out of it — you'll find yourself looking for the thrill again and again." danielle says, leaning on the table too and giving the younger lee a bright smile.

"oh, by the way — we haven't had dinner yet and i think there's food downstairs. wanna come?" youngseo stands up and rushes to her door with danielle following her. "okay, i don't mind." she smiles and follows youngseo downstairs where they walk past the living room to the kitchen where they see kim minji and pham hanni discussing personal topics as well as you cooking on the kitchen.

"woah why are you three here?" youngseo asks, walking behind minji who remains seated, while hanni follows youngseo with her gaze— danielle stands at the entrance watching the four girls. "your sister's cooking dinner for us and uh, i personally love her cooking." hanni laughs sheepishly and looks at minji who smiles at danielle and offers her a seat. "yes, i think danielle would love her cooking." minji says, danielle smiles at her and shakes her hand.

youngseo looks at you and to the pasta you're making. "i'm gonna remember this." she whispers and takes a seat beside minji, the three girls start a conversation and danielle makes her way to you. "what are you cooking?" she asks, hands behind her as she sways delicately to the melody of nothing, the delicious smell of the food wafts around the place and danielle just couldn't help but take a peek.

"oh vegetables? i love vegetables!" danielle says, you laugh but still have your eyes on the pan and nod at her. "yeah me too but minji hates them." you say, causing her to giggle too.

"i think it looks great and definitely tastes great too." you nod at her and smile, finally turning your head to look at her — it makes her heart flutter, something that feels nice but new, something she was happy to welcome with open arms.

"of course, i made sure it does." you tell her.

"come on minji, how are you almost 20 and still can't eat vegetables?" hanni grumbles as you all start to eat and you serve minji a plate of pasta without some of the vegetables. minji ignores hanni but earns a laughter from youngseo.

after eating dinner, you ask for all of them to leave as you were about to clean the table and plates but danielle insists on staying to help you out — this was a cue for the two of your friends to drag youngseo out of it. "oh come on! what are you doing you two!?" your sister complains as she was being dragged away.

"that was such a nice dinner, i loved it!" danielle says as she helps you take the plates out of the table, you smile at her and feel the way your blood runs hot to your cheeks, causing you to look down to avoid her gaze.

"thanks, i rarely cook here since our mom does most stuff but she's out with dad so — i kind of thought maybe i'll cook again." you tell danielle as you place the plates on the sink, she looks at you with glimmering eyes. "i did hear youngseo say the same thing before and she mentioned how she likes your cooking too."

"my sister is a little tsundere sometimes you know?" you laugh as you tell that to danielle, she giggles and nods her head. "she's so nice though and smart." danielle adds.

danielle helped you in washing the dishes, you talk about your experiences at the table tennis career of yours, what dreams you have for yourself as well as danielle's life as the chief editor of the HYBE chronicles journalism organization, how her journey started and what traits you share in common.

she's pretty spontaneous but likes to plan ahead cause it excites her, she likes vegetables and loves her family so much, she can get a little stubborn and she's always happy, she wants to bring positive vibes to everyone around her.

you tell her a lot about yourself too, your relationship with youngseo, how much your sport means to you and your friends too, how amazing they are even though you'd rather die than tell that to them cause hanni's gonna make fun of you.

"thanks for tonight." danielle gives her brightest smile, and it's almost like you were given the chance to take a peek of the milky way galaxy from her eyes the way her pupils shine bright lights. you couldn't help but smile too, you nod at her and try to keep looking at her eyes. "yeah, thanks too it's not much but i had so much fun." you stare at her for a while before looking away, both of you standing in the middle of the corridor where your room and your sister's room were located.

the lights were turned off already and the only source of lights were the window where the moonlight was present.

once again, danielle gives your shoulder a light tap to get your attention.

you steel yourself before turning around and you're greeted with her face close to yours. "don't tell this to anyone but — if you ever get the chance to compete in japan, let's go on a date, yeah?" danielle whispers and you feel yourself about to crumble to the floor with how close she was, you blink almost too many times to try and wake yourself up from what kind of dream this was but it wasn't working.

"ah, uhm... yeah, sure..." you mutter, still surprised but danielle couldn't help but giggle at your reaction, seeing how flustered you were.

you feel embarrassed but happy too, yes, you're definitely happy — who wouldn't right?

you began to laugh sheepishly and this had danielle laughing too.

"you're so cute," she pauses and reaches for your cheek to pinch it. "see you tomorrow." she continues before leaving and not even waiting for your response because she knows you wouldn't be able to function after what she did.

"i need to win and get to the nationals!" as soon as you enter inside your room you surprise your two friends with your shouting. "oh my god y/n! can you not do this tonight?" hanni grumbles before standing up and grabbing your shoulders. "what's gone into you?" she stares at your face.

"i need to train tomorrow!" you shake hanni's hands off of you. "18 hours practice, yes that's perfect!" you walk around your room whispering encouragement to yourself that had your two friends thinking you're possessed.

"you should cheer on your sister." danielle says as she enters your sister's room. youngseo sighs and rolls her eyes. "she's such a big baby." youngseo mutters before going back to reading her book, danielle laughs and sits next to youngseo, embracing the younger lee in a hug. "oh—! what's gotten into you? did her crazy friends possess you?" youngseo asks, trying to push danielle off of her.

danielle only smiles, not pulling away. "i just think your presence will help her win... i'll accompany you if you want." danielle looks at youngseo with a persuasive smile.

youngseo gives her a deadpan look before speaking. "you like her don't you?"

danielle laughs and shakes her head. "no!"

"really? danielle don't you dare lie to me!"

"i swear."

"dani...

did you really come here to see her?"

danielle pushes youngseo away.

"no!"

"i doubt it."

"well, yeah maybe a little."

"oh come on dani!" youngseo jumps on danielle on her bed, causing the girl to burst into laughters.

"sorry!"

that night made danielle realize that maybe it's not like something or someone has been missing in her life for a long time, it's just that maybe a part of her is looking for that something as an addition to her life — she needed a bit of color, she found that it might be that she have only realized it when she first saw you, it's not on that day you first saw her on the campus after you embarrassed yourself using your friend's account — but it's has been a long time since that fateful day when you handed her a copy of your textbook, you didn't even bother asking her name or telling yours, it's so funny because you don't even remember that day.

ever since then, danielle has been looking out for another day the gods above will tie your strings together again.

and when that time comes, she'll never let your strings go again.

she's been so patient, always cheering out for you from afar, hoping someday you'll eventually notice her and to her surprise — and to yours, that day brought you two together again as funny as it sounds, it was destined to her eyes, it was meant to be.

old asks from curiouscat (15th july 2024 —19th july 2024)

15th July 2024

do you know if haseul from r u next is still training to become a kpop idol and is chanelle going to be one of the new fifty fifty members?

runext's haseul | ace of swords, 3 of swords rx, strength • 4 of swords

she's not trainee currently. she hasn't closed the door for becoming an idol though, she's resting for a bit.

chanelle | the hanged man, the fool rx, 10 of wands rx • 7 of cups

to be honest, i don't see her there, though someone else from r u next might debut there.. however i am not sure if that is actually true (apart from chanelle and youngseo, i mean)

can you reading for nct dream's upcoming comeback? what will the charts be like both in Korea and globally?

korea | ace of pentacles, temperance rx, the empress • 10 of pentacles

i'd say like usual, but might not chart that good. someone might comeback with them and do way better.

outside of korea | high priestess, king of wands, the sun • knight of swords

way better, might chart somewhere? i don't feel and see much :|

is yoongi mad about any of this situation? (hybe vs ador)

9 of cups, the devil rx, the hanged man, 5 of pentacles rx, page of swords, the emperor • 3 of pentacles

to him, it was time for hybe to fail too. somehow.

similar to namjoon, he also expected something to happen. maybe not between hybe and ador specifically, because he hears things from here and there and he seems to believe they're far worse than this public fiasco (i am calling it like that). he is finally relieved (won't say it public though) that hybe have a serious scandal like the majority of the companies because noone is perfect.

honestly, suga doesn't want to say much because he knows TOO MUCH. he listens and remembers for DECADES even if he doesn't want to and he actually told hybe to not test him.. more than once. i'd be really worried if he actually tells something publicly, because if he does, hybe might be really doomed.

he isn't mad. he feels mixed because he wanted hybe to have even more serious scandal, way more serious one. he questions himself was this the way hybe has to start to slip off. he wants them to suffer cruelly, way more than it's now. he hates the corporation as it is and really wants change in it. he hopes for min heejin to make it in the end because he doesn't want to ruin anyone's future when he returns, including bts' group future and he really knows it.

how do bts members feels about the hybe vs ador thing?

rm | the empress, justice, temperance • 10 of pentacles

he seems to be fully on min heejin's side. he judges hybe .. a lot. i'd say rm really expected them to fail, lol

jin | knight of pentacles, the lovers, wheel of fortune • the magician

jin told me a tea that i am allowed to share in the most uncensored way possible😱 so there was an intimate offer to min heejin and she actually refused to do it!! this seems to be additional information.. thanks to jin for the gossip🥰 (i am not ironic with the emojis, deadly serious)

so because jin knew this information, he expected something to happen and he isn't suprised. he also seems to be on her side because to jin min heejin has dignity unlike other people.

suga | strength rx, 5 of wands rx, the hanged man • 3 of swords rx

he seems to be extremely passive and .. very dissapointed. he didn't expected this to happen, especially from bang sihyuk. suga feels really mixed and doesn't know how to react properly.

j-hope | the devil rx, 9 of swords rx, the lovers • the magician

hoseok is trying to be optimistic. he hopes everything will die down in the end and both sides find a solution that will be satisfying for all of them.

jimin | knight of wands, 8 of swords, king of cups rx • 6 of swords

compared to suga, jimin feels even more betrayed. he knows how he feels though, he really regrets renewing his contract with bhm and hybe. he wants to focus on himself and move on. he doesn't want to see them again, at least currently.

v | page of pentacles, 4 of swords rx, strength • the hanged man

he expected it to happen, he was aware of how ador were treated compared to other companies. he believes in min heejin and he feels she'll win the battle in the end.

jung kook | knight of cups, king of swords, page of cups • the star

he tries to gather information about it through other people and doesn't have a specific opinion that is somehow set in the stone. jung kook know what's going on but not the exact details that will make him form his actual opinion.

overall, all members seem to be on min heejin's side despite jungkook's unfinished thoughts and suga/j-hope/jimin's mixed feelings and trying to be neutral or not saying as much as i personally expected. and the gossip jin allowed me to share publicly (allegedly, we don't know if this is true or not) made me shocked because he intuitively said to me to not censor myself and that he's fine with sharing it publicly😭✌🏻

is it possible that aespa will disband soon or their popularity will decrease and they will experience hate train again? or get involved in controversial events...

5 of wands rx, ace of cups, 9 of cups • 8 of cups

won't disband. their relevance seem to be stable enough. i doubt there'll be hate train or will get into scandals.

so roughly, when it comes to their popularity, everything seems to be okay as they have stable fandom.

will i’ll-it’s comeback be successful in korea and will their reputations be recovered or is it too far gone

queen of cups, judgement rx, the moon • 2 of wands

it seems to be pretty much gone. success-wise, i'll-it at its best will be talked quite negatively mainly because of their debut and belift/hybe's mistakes.

is YG happy with the results Babymonster gained so far?

the world, the tower, 5 of swords rx • 4 of pentacles rx

"it's not what we expected."

yge expected baemon to blew up in similar way to blackpink. comparing to treasure, yge are more frustrated.. so no. they're not happy.

does any member of newjeans knows about shifting and if they do, did any of them shifted here?

Minji | 3 of wands, 2 of pentacles, page of cups • 3 of pentacles

Hanni | 2 of swords rx, 9 of swords rx, 7 of cups • the high priestess

Danielle | 4 of pentacles, 5 of swords, 10 of swords • 2 of cups

Haerin | knight of pentacles, wheel of fortune rx, page of wands, ace of cups • ace of wands

Hyein | king of cups, the high priestess, king of wands rx • 6 of swords

all of newjeans seem to know about it (for minji this is quite fresh topic so she might've learned about it recently), to be honest but noone has allegedly shifted from another reality to this one or the opposite.

danielle seems to be extremely persistent to switch to elsewhere, she is extremely attached to this reality. the other members haven't thought about it, but seeing from the cards, they are leaning towards they'd prefer to stay here.

hanni on the other hand in other universes might've shfited (if our reality is no. 1, from reality no. 2 to reality no. 3 and etc.).

can I ask about how successful would Road to Kingdom 2 be with Taemin as a host?

the lovers rx, the tower, the world rx • 7 of pentacles

with one word, disaster. mnet should give up trying with similar shows at this point.

will aespa be able to continue its rising career in the same way?

3 of pentacles, page of cups, 7 of wands • temperance

i am not sure because of the company themselves. as of not, i doubt they'll continue to be as relevant as now.

can you share short reading about RIIZE Seunghan? 1. does sm have plans to bring back seunghan in riize? 2. what's delaying his return? 3. when are we possibly getting an update about seunghan? 4. are fan support projects for seunghan doing anything good?

1: 3 of pentacles, death, 3 of cups • the sun

yes. like cosmos said when they asked, around riize's anniversary. i see the same thing as them too (i am unaware of cosmos' pronouns, sorry, they're youtuber if someone's asking)

2: ace of pentacles, 10 of cups, 4 of pentacles rx, king of cups • 5 of swords rx

it's pretty much seunghan himself, he seems to want to do a suprise this time.

3: queen of wands, 4 of swords, 8 of pentacles • the hermit

as of now i doubt it will be before the period when riize's anniversary happens, it will be around that time.

4: the devil rx, 4 of cups rx, page of pentacles rx • 3 of swords rx

they are neutral. helping or not, it's .. blank. seunghan is very thankful for them, though.

how is the relationship between the ive members and starship ?

Yujin | 2 of wands, the tower • the emperor

basically, she communicates with starship the most. to yujin, they are extremely selfish. if she wants x, they'll make a offer y that will satisfy the company. i've learnt other things that i'll save to myself because they're extemely personal to yujin and i don't want to ruin anyone's image.

Gaeul | 5 of wands rx, 2 of pentacles • justice

i don't think they communicate that often. they talk when they have to.

Rei | death, 10 of cups rx • the fool

it seems that recently haven't talked much.

Wonyoung | knight of wands, strength rx • the lovers

so and so, could be better. same as yujin, i've learned things that i will save them to myself.

Liz | the emperor, the star • 3 of wands

she communicates with them through someone from ive (maybe yujin) and she feels optimistic for her solo path.

Lesseo | judgement rx, the moon rx • 3 of pentacles

similar as gaeul, they talk when they have to. recently the dynamics are way worse and starship'd prefer to talk with her only if it involve ive, like in emergency situations.

what is the possibility of fuko from iland 2 debuting soon?

the moon, 3 of pentacles, knight of cups • knight of swords

fuko seems to be independent as of now. there's a company that offered her a secure spot for upcoming girl group (like, coming in a few months). she hasn't decided yet whether she'll accept or not.

therefore, depends on her. if she accepts, almost 100% because something unexpected can always happen. if she rejects, i am not sure how much (like percents).

how the public views mai from izna during their debut?

depends on which outsiders.

korean: temperance, ace of swords, 10 of pentacles • the devil rx

currently they like her and can see why she will debut with the rest of izna. nothing much to feel and see this time😓

international: the sun, 8 of pentacles, 9 of swords rx • 6 of wands

they (will) like her, maybe a lot. she might have more solo gigs outside of korea, though.

does youngseo want to continue her idol life/return to the idol industry or has she given up? does she still keep in contact with any of the illit members?

[has she officialy gave up?] 3 of cups, 8 of pentacles, 7 of cups rx, king of cups rx • 10 of cups

she has given up, she lost hope and faith she'll succeed in this industry, especially when she turned against her former subsidiary. they watch her too obssesively..

therefore, i don't really believe she's trainee in another company. the 8 of pentacles though can turn into the opposite answer where youngseo is again in similar situation as she was in the past with belift/hybe but i really don't feel it. sorry :(

[communication with the rest of i'll-it] the fool, 7 of wands, 4 of pentacles rx, king of cups, 7 of cups, 3 of cups • 10 of cups

despite pretty much the optimistic cards, the king of cups (someone from belift) forbids i'll-it to communicate with youngseo. they want to talk with her like before, belift don't. however, youngseo also don't want to communicate with the group. so no, they don't.

can you do a reading about pledisngg about the members and their future success?

general check: queen of pentacles, the hermit, 3 of pentacles, knight of cups, wheel of fortune • 6 of wands

so far 2 trainees are more visible:

• queen of pentacles seem to be a visual who's into fashion (and money). i am unsure if she lacks vocal training but with the hermit next to her, she might lack it

• knight of cups seem to have similar vibe as blackpink's rosé when it comes to the idol life. she's here for all of it and loves to sing (and produce, and write the songs, this stuff).

apart from that, nothing much. it looks like pledis is aiming for female seventeen when it comes to self-producing

success: 8 of swords rx, king of swords, 5 of swords rx • the chariot

yes, it can be successful. i see the girls will manifest their relevance and popularity though.

will baemon release a successful song that lacks the yg aesthetic?

2 of cups, king of pentacles, 4 of pentacles rx • 7 of cups

when the founder steps out, sure. until then i don't think so..

17th July 2024

what's relationship between Sion (NCT Wish) and Ningning (aespa) or what do they think of each other?

the world, the star, king of penracles rx, 5 of wands rx • 3 of pentacles

they aren't close but sion wants to know her better. however, he seems to not have the greatest intentions with her and it'll be better for them to be strictly colleagues. when it comes to ningning, she seems uninterested to know him.

what will aespa's next Korean comeback after Armageddon be? concept, genre, lore, vibes, high notes and etc?

the moon, king of pentacles, the magician rx, judgement, 5 of swords rx • 5 of wands rx

when it comes to their next korean comeback, it won't be like aespa personally want. i see someone (king of pentacles) who will limit their comeback sound-wise.

their concept seem to be not polished but will rely on what they've doing after spicy era so far. i don't see the concept being "light" (i.e. spicy, better things), it looks like it'll be similar to drama mv-wise and sound-wise (comapred to supernova+armageddon, drama sticks waaay more).

for the hybe and ador controversy, how it’ll be affect seventeen for next? will they or pledis part ways?

how the drama influence 17: 5 of cups, the moon, 10 of pentacles, knight of swords, the devil rx • 5 of pentacles rx

the group are dissapointed from what the corporation has been doing and are uncertain of their future. they really believe it'll be better to enter into military at once as much as possible (except from the foreigners in the group as they're free in this case) and just not think about it. on the other hand, when it comes to money, that makes somehow the boys more greedier than expected because they're already thinking of their solo paths. it looks like the boys want to separate their way after their contract ends in any way, so for their desires to not continue they aren't influenced because of the situation, they wanted it anyways. they know their ceo isn't at fault and he's innocent compared to .. everyone else who's at fault. seventeen really believe they can negotiate everything for better amount that was planned by them.

seventeen's path and the drama's influence: the devil rx, 5 of pentacles rx, 6 of pentacles • king of cups

the boys are thankful for what pledis have done so far, but they believe now it's the time to move on with their individual desires and i feel they start to not believe the corporation enough, i.e. whatever hybe gave, they'll receive back.

pledis' path and the drama's influence: 2 of swords rx, ace of swords rx, strength, 4 of pentacles rx • justice

the company wants to separate from the corporation but are aware they rely on seventeen a lot (like how yge are with blackpink) and if they leave pledis and hybe, it makes their separation impossible. they are also aware that leaving might not benefit them currently also because they have to pay x amount for separating, so unless tws do decent too with the time, they'd prefer to not act.

which team in f1 next year will be on the top? is max verstappen’s still dominant for winning too?

i'll try to see indirectly the next top team: the magician, 4 of pentacles rx, 8 of pentacles • the hermit

the team is pretty much known. with the bottom card, i see the team not being red bull racing as they might do worse compared to the other with the most points in the future. my pendulum bets on mclarren.

red bull racing and how they'll do next year: 4 of cups rx, ace of cups, the fool • the world

the team will do like usual but will change some people in their team (including adrian newey) that will make other team/s do better. still, the team will be satisfied of how they're doing their job. i believe they'll still do well, so therefore the points they'll have might be closer to the teams that are better than them (allegedly).

do you think soobin will get solo project (like variety show or solo song or collab) this year? it looks like he's the only member in txt who doesn't have this year :(

the hermit rx, 9 of swords rx, 8 of pentacles rx • 7 of cups

soobin works on something.. pretty much alone. since 7 of cups is the bottom card of the deck, i am assuming he's currently learning the details of acting, like how to express himself properly and etc.

there might be something with the cards i am seeing, but i am yet unsure if he's just practicing or working on something while doing that at the same time, therefore i'm really unsure of the answer itself whether he'll have solo gig/s this year or not. sorry if it's not what you expected but soobin might be unsure either :(

19th July 2024

will KISS OF LIFE be more popular in Korea, internationally or both?

Local relevance: the lovers, 2 of swords, 4 of cups rx • the world

Might not be as relevant as desired at first in the future as they might do things that they will be done for the first time. When it comes to their popularity, KIOF should be cautious of their future actions as it might be good for the foreign places but not in Korea. They might not be as impactful as Hwasa years ago in the end.

Outside of Korea: judgement, knight of swords, 8 of wands • 7 of cups

This spread is a lot better. Based on what I see, KIOF will have cruicial moment that will make them popular internationally. They have the idols who can be relevant in variety shows in one way or another (I see especially Julie) and they can make it work outside of Korea.

In Korea it seems to be less likely to make it BIG in the end comapred to the foreign lands. KIOF also have the potential to do it there but .. it's yet to be seen if it can compared to BLACKPINK. Overall, internationally >> Korea.

TAKAYA FUNA x FEM!READER

Prompt: Just you and Funa being an adorable uni couple <3

Warnings/Notes: reader is taller than Funa, both reader and Funa are the same age, reader is a sport major, Funa is a business major, soccer captain x popular girl

A/N: did this after fighting my mentality because Funa deserves the world and all my love

BRO SHES SO PRETTY STOPPPPPP T^T

———

“Are you even listening to me? Hello?! HWANG Y/N!!” Ruka had to rip out your right AirPod.

“Ow, what?” You grumbled at the shorter girl.

She returned the AirPod before sending you a stink eye. “Sometimes when I’m with you, I feel like I’m talking to a brick wall”

“I would’ve noticed your presence if you only grew a couple more inches, midget”

Ruka gasped dramatically and started throwing ‘hard’ punches at your shoulder, in which she had to go on her tip toes because of the height different.

“Quit picking on her, Y/n. You know she can’t fight” Moa came and slung an arm around Ruka who shoved her off.

“You both are unbelievable, and stop touching me!” The shortest hissed, fixing her hair that Moa ruffled.

“By the way Ruka, you’re still coming to me and Y/n’s soccer game tonight right?” Moa asked which sounded more like a plea.

“Yeah duh! I’m there to cheer on Iroha actually so cry about it”

“As long as you’re there” Moa shrugged. “Probably won’t even see you with your 4ft ass-OW!”

“I hate you!”

As the two continued to argue, your eyes drifted off to where your girlfriend was. Funa was sitting with Jiwoo, Moka, Yunah, and Youngseo at a table in front of the Uni’s cafe.

She had her hair down and curled at the ends, wearing a cropped v neck sweater and mini skirt, and paired with the white and pink dunks you gifted on her birthday. Her makeup was light but she still looked as beautiful as ever.

The morning light shone on her face like an angel, and although people don’t see it themselves, you do feel proud of being Takaya Funa’s girlfriend.

You met her last year when you found the poor girl sulking because the vending machine didn’t give her the KitKat bar, let alone return the cash. After admiring her adorable pout, you approached her and gave the vending machine a hard punch, thinking it would give her the beloved chocolate.

You didn’t expect the rest of the snacks to fall down AND the cash to be spat in your face. It was an embarrassing moment, especially in front of a pretty girl, but it was definitely memorable for Funa.

Turns out she was mutual friends with Jiwoo and you two got to see each other more outside of campus when Jiwoo organised outings.

That’s when you realised you fell for Funa and worked up the courage to confess to her after a movie date. To your surprise, Funa admitted she liked you back.

Funa was also super popular on campus, always volunteering in events despite her studies, getting great scores on all her assessments, and even being the leader of a fashion club where she used you as a model for her designs.

You on the other hand, you don’t really scream approachable. You kept this emotionless look on your face that scared a lot of students. Unlike Funa, you were somewhat known by others because of the Uni’s soccer team which you were the captain of and took very seriously.

Sometimes people question how you and Funa even click but that didn’t matter to her. She always told them she loved you no matter what people think. You appreciated her for that.

What you didn’t appreciate though was the guy that stood in front of your girlfriend’s table, holding a bouquet of lillies in one hand while the other scratched his ear shyly.

Your feet immediately started moving faster. Ruka and Moa looked at you confused mid argument. “Hey Y/n where you going?”

“Good morning Funa” The man bowed.

“Good morning Jake” Funa responded sweetly.

“You look so beautiful today and I bought these flowers earlier for you too”

“Oh…thank you!” Funa smiled but made no movement in grabbing the flowers.

“Are you free to go out on a date sometime? You and me?”

Jiwoo snorted. “Um, sorry she’s not interested”

“I wasn’t talking to you” He spat, surprising the group.

Yunah didn’t take that lightly. “What she meant was, Funa is not interested nor available” She fired back with darkness in her eyes.

“Funa can answer for herself”

“Jake seriously, I’d leave if I were you—“ Youngseo started speaking but she cursed under her breath when she saw your figure approaching closer.

“What’s going on here?” You asked in your usual blunt tone.

Jiwoo smirked while crossing her arms.

“U-Uh Jake was just leaving. Bye Jake!” Moka waved but the man did not move a muscle.

He pointed the bouquet at you. “And you are?”

“Sport major and Soccer captain, Hwang Y/n. Also, Funa’s girlfriend. And you are?”

Jake’s smile faltered. “You’re Funa’s girlfriend?”

“Is there a problem?” You tilted your head with a squint.

“I-I was just giving these flowers to her, nothing else I swear”

“She’s allergic to lillies” You deadpanned.

“I-I’m sorry! Goodbye!” Jake ran off while your eyes continued burning the back of his head.

“Must you scare people like that?” Ruka snapped at you.

Funa stood up from her seat and hooked her arms around your neck before pecking your lips. “Good morning baby”

“Good morning indeed” You grumbled and looked away.

“Hey don’t be like that, he’s gone now” she smiled and kissed your lips again.

“Ugh gross. Anyways, you ladies coming to watch our soccer game right?” Moa leaned her elbow on the table.

The girls nodded.

“Of course! I promised Chanelle” Moka smiled.

“Does no one wanna watch me?” Moa feigned hurt and clutched her heart.

“I’ll throw tomatoes at you, how about that?” Ruka teased, earning a hard pull on her cheek by Moa.

“You’re coming right?” You asked your girlfriend.

“I wouldn’t miss it for the world, babe. I’m your #1 fan”

And just like that, your mood got a little better.

[6pm]

The first match hasn’t started yet but you and your team stood by your bench, waiting for your coach to discuss formations. You took the time to look at the crowd and saw your girlfriend at the front waving a huge cardboard sign that read ‘NUMBER 1 IS MINE <3’

She referred to the number on your shirt which you specifically chose because Funa always claimed you were her number 1. It was extremely cheesy but if it kept Funa smiling crazy like that, you wouldn’t change it for anyone else.

You gave her a small wave but she returned it with a blow kiss, making you go red.

“Why are you red? We haven’t even started playing” Moa frowned.

“Whatever. Be right back!” You said and jogged to where your girlfriend was.

Unfortunately the bleacher’s fence was in between you two so you could only hold onto it when finally standing in front of her. “Hi, Princess”

“Hey cutie” She winked. “Did I ever tell you how hot you look in your soccer uniform?”

“All the time actually”

Funa smirked and bit her lip.

“D-Don’t look at me like that. I’m gonna get distracted” you looked away, going red again.

“It’s so funny how people are scared of you yet you’re all soft for me”

You rolled your eyes. “That’s because you’re my girl, baby”

Funa smiled at your words but noticed a group of girls within the crowd staring at you, being all giggly while whispering things to each other. Funa could see one of them mouth ‘number 1 is so hot’ to her friends, erupting a sudden feeling of jealousy within the business major.

Putting down her sign, she placed a hand on your nape and the other held onto your shoulder.

Your thoughts went out the window when you girlfriend pulled you in for a kiss. It wasn’t just the usual soft kiss she always gave you, but this one was sloppy, hot, and aggressive.

“Oh for god’s sakes, can you two not make out like your life depends on it?!” Ruka yelled, trying to cover Youngseo and Moka’s eyes.

Jiwoo cringed and screwed the cap of her water bottle. “You two make my water taste bad”

Hearing your friends’ complaints, Funa pulled away but kept her eyes on yours.

“What was that for?” You whispered, letting Funa cup your face.

“Sorry, these girls were just looking at what’s mine”

“Who are you and what did you do to my soft business major girlfriend?” You chuckled, placing your bigger hands on her’s that held your cheeks.

“Let me mark you just in case more girls look”

Your eyes widened while looking around to see if anyone heard. “Babe, we’re literally in public”

Funa slapped your shoulder. “I meant a lipstick mark you idiot!”

You nodded and released her hands so she could apply a thicker amount of lipstick before leaning in to place one on your neck and then on your cheek.

“Good?” You questioned.

“Hmm, not quite. Come here” she smirked and attacked the rest of your face with lipstick marks, surprising you and your friends.

“Alright, enough!” Jiwoo scolded, having to grab Funa’s shoulders.

You felt a bit dizzy, not used to your girlfriend’s possessive side but it’s something you definitely wanted to see later.

“If you win this game, I’ll give you a reward” Funa whispered in your ear.

Yeah there was no way you were letting that opportunity slide. “I’ve never lost a game, Princess”

“Looking forward to tonight then”

“Hwang get in here!” Coach called out.

You sighed and looked at your girlfriend once more. “See you in a bit, babe”

Funa pecked your lips. “That’s for good luck. Break a leg, baby. Not literally though”

“Oh wait!” You exclaimed and took off your necklace before putting it on Funa. “Wear this. Bye bye!”

Funa fiddled with the necklace and smiled like an idiot.

“I still question how you and Y/n managed to get together, considering she has a stick up her ass all the time, but I can really see she loves you” Ruka wiggled her eyebrows.

“People just don’t see how she really is with me” Funa giggled, reaching for her sign to wave around.

“You look stupid” Chanelle commented on the lipstick marks all over your face and neck.

“You’re just jealous” You chuckled

“Jealous of looking stupid? Not really”

“I hate you”

[nwjws]

the solution to our problems - three.

; synopsis - 6 months after your break up, you’re sick and tired of your ex who's always following you around or sending you a text from some new number. luckily for you, the leader of the school’s dance club and campus heartthrob, yang jungwon, seems to have a solution that’ll solve both your problems - to fake date each other.

three. need rescuing? (1.4k words)

two. ; masterlist ; four.

you and the girls walk and chat as the local 7/11 comes into view.

although you and hanni don't want to buy anything, you two accompany minji into the little store to escape the november cold.

"oh, i've never seen this pocky flavour before. is it new?" hanni asks as she turns to you and minji, holding up a box of pocky sticks to show.

"me neither, maybe?" you wonder.

"youngseo?"

you and hanni's attention are grabbed when minji calls out the younger girl, who's passing by the aisle with a shopping basket of items in her hands. youngseo stops in her tracks and looks at you guys with wide, surprised eyes.

"oh, hi guys!"

"what are you doing here? shouldn't you be at school?" hanni asks as youngseo makes her way towards you and your friends.

"yeah. we're on our lunch break right now, and jungwon asked me to get him some food. that idiot forgot to bring some lunch before he left home," she rolled her eyes at the thought of her cousin. "so now i'm here buying snacks for him during my precious break."

"why didn't he just come get it himself? the store is closer to decelis than belift high's campus," minji asks as you and hanni laugh at youngseo's words.

"that's what i said! but he was like 'noo i'm in a club meeting right now and can't go'. i swear he's just lazy," she says, mocking jungwon in a lower voice while holding her fingers up in a quotation gesture.

"well, we're on the way to the library there, so just come with us," hanni offered.

"okay, nini!"

minji and youngseo pay together before the four of you leave the store.

you three walk youngseo up to the dance club's studio, when you notice something - or more like someone in the corner of your eye.

you whip your head in the direction, and see your ex, minho's head quickly dip behind a corner.

"y/n? what's wrong?" hanni asks when she noticed you turn to look in a different direction. you turn back to the girls looking at you with concerned looks on their faces.

"it's ogre. he's here again," you explain in a hushed voice, referring to the boy using your code name.

"no way," youngseo says in surprise, trying to catch a glimpse. "you guys should come in for a bit then. at least until he leaves."

you guys nod at her thankfully and follow her into the room, while you give your friends a confused look at how she knows. minji quietly explains how they told their younger friend.

music blasts as footsteps hit the floor in sync with the beat. you close the door behind you, but not before poking your head out and trying to find the 'ogre', spotting him poke his head out to get a glimpse at you before hiding again when seeing he was caught.

you follow the other three as they walk up to jungwon at the front, who’s watching the dancers’ forms.

"here, dumbass. i got you some instant noodles and bungeoppang,” youngseo says as she hands him the bag.

“thanks,” he says taking them out and then nodding at you three in acknowledgment, albeit with a little confusion on his face.

“you better be - i could be eating and relaxing since it’s my break, but here i am, taking care of you like a mother,” the girl huffed. “anyways, i brought them in because y/n’s ex is being a creep and following them.”

“you just let them in as if you have the authority to do so,” jungwon rolls his eyes as he bites on the food. “but i’ll let it slide since they seem to be in a little bit of trouble.”

jungwon turns to the rest of the dancers in the room and calls for a quick break.

riki runs up to you guys as he drinks water, wiping sweat from his forehead.

“what are you doing here?” youngseo asks her fellow schoolmate.

“‘just had a free, so i thought i’d come by,” riki pants. “but after this break i have another class.”

“riki, walk with youngseo back to school when you guys go. just to make sure she stays safe.” riki nods, jokingly saluting jungwon.

“ew, i don’t need to be protected by some stinky boy,” youngseo scrunches her nose at him. “besides, i’d be the one protecting him instead.”

you giggle as you watch the two high schoolers start bickering. jungwon turns his attention back to you guys.

“y/n, are you okay?”

to be honest, you don’t talk to jungwon that often. in fact, you never really see him - only in passing as you walk across the campus of your university.

all you know about him is that he’s quite popular and well liked, (which doesn’t surprise you, considering his good looks). as well as other bits and pieces your friends have told you about him - which is also very little, because none of them are really close to him either. they just have mutual friends or connections to the boy.

“yeah. if it’s okay though, we’ll camp in here for a bit until minho leaves us alone. if it isn’t, we can just run to the library,” you tell him.

"honestly, you'd think a guy would finally have moved on from his ex when he has a new girlfriend..." minji sighed, shaking her head.

jungwon kisses his teeth as he thinks.

“mmm, sorry i don’t think you guys can stay here while we’re in session, but i’ll walk you three to the library. is that okay?”

you hum an agreement, and thank him as you guys walk out and begin your way to the library.

arriving at the library, you immediately start looking for the textbook you need to borrow. jungwon sticks to you and your friends when you say you won’t be long anyway.

he’s conversing easily with minji and hanni when a girl comes up to him, tapping his shoulder shyly. you can easily tell her demeanour is as fake as those toy phones you played with as a child.

“hi… jungwon, can i talk to you privately?” the girl asks softly, unable to look him in the eye.

“umm…” jungwon looks at you guys with an expression that screams ‘help me’ as the girl is already grabbing onto his wrist to drag him away.

quickly jumping to the rescue, you speak up.

“sorry, we actually need jungwon’s help with some school work right now. i’m sure you can talk to him later? when he’s not busy?” you tell her politely.

the girl glares at you before letting go of the poor boy’s wrist and scoffing.

“fine, but i’ll talk to you later, ‘kay wonie?” you want to laugh at the way her act switches up when she talks to jungwon.

“umm, okay?” he says unsurely, as if asking a question.

a sigh of relief escapes him when he looks back at you and your friends, who’re all holding back snickers behind your hands.

“one of your fangirls?” minji teases. jungwon rubs his nape awkwardly.

“well, i don’t really want to call them that…”

“does that happen often?” you ask him, suddenly spotting the item you’d been looking for.

“way too often,” he confirms as you four make your way to the desk so you can take out the textbook.

“that sucks, maybe you need saving more than i do,” you laugh at him as you all make your way back to the studio.

at the doors of the dance studio, you all thank jungwon for coming with you guys. you’d even forgotten about minho, the whole reason the boy joined you guys anyway.

“well, if you ever need somewhere to hide, you’re welcome to run here - if there’s no meeting. i’m here most of the time anyway,” jungwon tells you as you all stand outside the room.

“thank you. if you ever need saving from another girl, just let me know i guess,” you reply. the four of you laugh lightheartedly, before bidding jungwon goodbye and leaving.

when jungwon is out of earshot, hanni turns to look at you knowingly.

“y/n, what was that??”

“what was what?”

“you were low-key flirting with jungwon back there,” minji agrees.

“what? no i wasn’t! that wasn’t flirting!” you defend yourself, confused.

“oookayy,” hanni just agrees with a teasing look.

you roll your eyes at your friends.

celebrity

pairing : lee youngseo x fem!reader

summary : after not seeing youngseo for a while, the two of you decided to meet up. but soon after, the company texted her and kinda ruined your cuddle night :(

genre : fluff !

cw/tw : slight cursing

You and Youngseo have been dating for the past six months. Even during r u next, you helped her a lot by calling her, texting her, or maybe she would take her day off to meet you. Her friends used to tease her whenever she went out because they knew she went to see you. Everyone, including the entire kpop industry adores the two of you.

When the news broke, some fans were overjoyed, while others were slightly disappointed. You rarely think about it because Youngseo always assures you that everything will be alright. You were both relieved to find that the kpop industry did not detest Youngseo after she confessed she was in a relationship. You can't be more grateful than that.

But sometimes, it does made you wonder if dating Youngseo was the right choice, when she’s out there working as a literal star. You were scared that it might damaged Youngseo’s reputation, but thankfully it didn’t .

It was already night time, Youngseo had just arrived at your house a few hours ago. She told you that she took a day off and decided to spend it with you.

While you two were cuddling on the bed, she received a text from her manager. She sat up on the bed and check her phone with a frown on her face.

“Fuck it…” Youngseo mumbled, which makes you curious.

“What’s wrong, baby?” You asked as Youngseo look at you with a pout.

“I forgot I was assigned to do a live today, you wouldn’t mind if i do it for a while right?” Youngseo asked, and you responded with an understanding nods and smiles.

“Thank you, love. I’m sorry and I’ll promise it will be quick.” She sighed before pecking your lips and headed to your study table. She set up her phone while fixing herself before going live. You watched her from your bed with a smile on your lips.

“Hello everyone!” Youngseo greeted her fans joyfully.

It’s been over 20 minutes since Youngseo went live and your dramatic self already missing her embrace. While she’s live, you noticed that she’ll steal a glance towards you or even send you a wink secretly. You hate to admit it but such simple things can already makes you flustered.

Youngseo kept reading the comments and answering them one by one, until these kinds of comments popped out.

“Where’s your girlfriend?” “How’s your girlfriend?” She reads them out loud.

“Hm I don’t know~ Darling, how are you doing?” She looks at you while smiling, waiting for your response. You didn’t want to talk, afraid that they might hear you so you just put a thumbs up.

Youngseo chuckled before looking back at her phone. “Ah everyone, she puts a thumbs up, I think that means she’s alright.” Youngseo replied, grinning at her phone like an idiot.

She also saw some comments like, “AWW SHES IN LOVE” “our nyangseo is soooo in love with her girlfriend~” “cutest!!”

She laughed as she reads the comments and look your way. You noticed it and did the same while smiling widely at her.

“I definitely am, inlove with her.”

a/n : sorry if this is short! don’t forget to like :D

[melonmusiv]

HEYHEY ITS ME AGAIN! I wanted to request another little thing...👉🏼👈🏼 (If it's not too much, ofc!) Could you maybe do the reactions to saying 'I love you' with a forehead kiss (towards them)? And I am taking care of myself! Again- have a nice day/night and make sure to eat and drink enough😋🫶🏼

DXMON

Mmmmmmmwahh !!

[ Kissing the Dxmon boys on their foreheads, paired with an "I love you!"

♡•.°*☆•.°

A/N ♡ HALLOOOOO I'm here with. This request as well !!1!!!!!11!!!1 thank u for giving me ideas because I sure as hell was nawt able to think of any........ ermmm but yess I hope you have a good day/night as well :3 hopefully this is to ur liking, its so late where I am and I'm lowkey half asleep 😣 also I am writing the other requests I've gotten so I might be posting again l8r tonight ????? Idk idk

Warnings ♡ ummmm cringe. Not proofread, and was written in a very short amount of time 😞 probably some mistakes in there....

☆•.° Minjae is a sucker for small, intimate displays of affection, so forehead kisses are right up his alley. But paired with an "I love you" as well ?! He might just pass out !! He replies with an I love you too without missing a beat, giving you a kiss back on your temple.

☆•.° Seita is flustered. It was so.... inoccent..... so lovely..... he's in love ♡.... Seita thinks you're already so cute, so when you decide to be even cuter by pulling something like this all he can think is o.m.g !!! He'll just stare at you with his cute lil smile until you say something lolol. "Are you gonna say I love you too?" "You already know I love you. You're the cutest ever. Can you kiss me on the lips this time?"

☆•.° Youngseo is caught so off guard. It's like you get cuter every day... a forehead kiss paired with the 3 words he loves to hear from you might send him into cardiac arrest tbh.. literally his favorite thing in the world. Won't hesitate to cry an I love you too! Before he snatches you up in a tight hug 🫂.

☆•.° Taekyu thinks it's cute and won't hesitate to let you know. He may get shy easily, but he livesssss for making you even shyer. He'll grab the sides of your face, whispering "I love you too." Before he commences the most flustering, life changing, jaw dropping kiss he's ever given you 😣. Afterwards, though, he's bright red and tries to run away once the realization settles in. Where'd all that confidence go?

☆•.° Minjun thinks he just fell in love all over again..... especially if this is taking place early in the morning, right after he wakes up. Literally starts giggling because he just thinks you're adorbs. Pulls you into a very tight hug, rolling around with you in his arms. "You're just so cute !" Cue the very annoyingly loud sound effects he makes as he kisses wherever he can reach. "Minjun, aren't you gonna say I love you back ?!" "Omg I forgot.... I love you toooooo ♡."

☆•.° Junseong is caught way off guard... you two almost never say I love you... do you want something from him? Hmmm.... once you are able to beat the allegations of you trying to bribe him with your cute acts of affection, he's all for it. Kisses your cheeks, his hands gently rubbing your arms. "I looooovee you too."

Baiiiiii

Lee Youngseo x F!reader

⚠️: jealousy, comedy, swearing

“SHIT!” You screamed with wide eyes after realising you were already 15 minutes late to practice.

It was one of those days where no cameras were around and no groups of staff to chase after you, so everyone would do their own practice in the studio, but even so, you didn’t want to deal with mother Jiwoo’s scolding.

You could already hear her going on about your lack of punctuality.

You did a quick face wash and brushed your teeth, throwing on your personalised shirt and simple black sweatpants before snatching your belongings and bolting out the door.

You managed to make it by slamming the doors open, letting it hit into the wall which caused a mini earthquake in the room. A few of the girls screamed from the noise and then sighing with relief when they saw your disheveled figure.

“Good morning Y/n” Chanelle snickered.

“Yeah…very good morning indeed” you grumbled and threw your bag to the back before falling to your knees in front of the eldest contestant.

Jiwoo had her arms crossed in a stern manner, already eyeing you down. “Kim Y/n..”

“Mother Son Jiwoo forgive me for I have arrived late to practice but I am willing to pay that debt by buying you rose tteokbeokki!” You rapped the words while obnoxiously bowing and slapping your palms to the ground.

You kept your forehead glued to the ground, shivering at the sound of Jiwoo sighing. “Why do I even bother? Did you at least eat breakfast?”

You shook your head, still face planted.

“Ugh get up, you loser” Jiwoo giggled and pulled you up on your feet.

“Sorry again, Ji. I forgot to put my alarm on”

“I’m surprised your girlfriend didn’t wake you up”

“I’m surprised too. Where is she speaking of?”

Jiwoo pointed to the corner of the room. “There with Roha”

You thanked Jiwoo and jogged to Youngseo and Iroha, seeing that they had finished filming a TikTok. “Youngie”

“Baby, hi! Did you sleep well?” Youngseo smiled and quickly kissed your cheek.

“Why didn’t you wake me up? You usually do”

“Sorry, you looked peaceful and Roha wanted to grab breakfast together”

You noticed how your girlfriend wrapped her arm around the younger girl, pinching her cheek in the process. It stirred an ugly feeling in your stomach but you smiled it away. “Ok. Well did you want to practice a dance together?”

“Mmm can’t babe, Iroha wants to be my partner today”

“Yeah!” Iroha beamed and gave a cute thumbs up.

The ugly feeling grew and your smile faltered. “Oh, I see”

Unfortunately you didn’t catch the playful wink Youngseo and Iroha shared, both seeing that their little prank worked.

“Well how about later in the afternoon?” You asked with hopeful eyes but Youngseo shook her head.

“Got plans with Roha already, babe”

You sighed. “Rightio, have fun” You waved and walked away.

“Totally worked” Iroha whispered, giving Youngseo a high five. “But aren’t you worried she’ll be mad at you the entire day?”

“It’s a couple thing, Roha. You’ll understand once you get older”

While you sulked, a bright Bang Jeemin greeted you.

“Hi Y/n! I heard you didn’t have breakfast but luckily I have a croissant and some choco milk in my bag” she smiled and waved the snacks in your face.

“And may I ask why you have those in your bag?” You giggled and accepted it anyways

“It’s my emergency food. With all this practicing, I forget to eat”

Jeemin sat down with you at the back and fixed your messy hair. “Eat up Y/n-ie”

You happily munched onto the croissant while Jeemin stabbed the straw into the milk carton for you, leaning it towards your lips. “Take a sip”

In the corner of your eye you saw Youngseo waiting for Iroha to set up the camera for their TikTok.

An idea came to mind so you took a bite out of the delicious croissant again, purposely leaving crumbs on your lips. Jeemin saw the little mess and giggled. “Such a messy eater” She commented and used her fingers to wipe the crumbs away.

“Thanks Jeemin. What will i ever do without you?”

“I always got your back”

You motioned for her to come closer, making Jeemin’s eyes go wide. “Y/n, you have a girlfriend..”

“What? I’m not trying to kiss you, I need to tell you something!”

“Oh right” Jeemin jumped and leaned her ear towards you.

“I need you to play along with the things I’m gonna do”

The taller already knew where this one was going so she rolled her eyes. “Seriously Y/n? You get jealous so easily”

“Am not! Are you gonna help a friend out or what?”

“Fine”

You applauded and sat closer to Jeemin, laying your head on her shoulder while she put an arm around you.

To your dismay, Youngseo hasn’t even turned around to see the sweet gesture.

“She’s not looking” Jeemin whispered.

“Heyyyyy, I was going to mind my own business but I saw what was happening and could not resist in joining” Yunah appeared, a mischievous smile plastered on her lips.

“Yeah same. It’s a bit childish but I’m living for it” Jihyun said with Funa and Moa standing behind her.

“I’ll start it off” Moa whispered and cleared her throat aloud. “Awwwww my JeemY/n heart is going so crazy right now”

“Wahhh are you the new couple of R U Next?” Funa added, laughing at her own words after.

Soon, the rest of the trainees (besides Youngseo and Iroha) were joining in, wanting to be part of the teasing.

“Oh my godddd so cute!” Iris jumped excitedly, shaking poor Ena too.

“Are you gonna be my parents?” Wonhee joked.

“Let me take your couple photos!” Yuisa said and took out her phone, starting to take a few pictures.

“Make a heart!!” Jeongeun yelled from the back.

Jiwoo set the mood by playing slow dancing music, making Jeemin place your food down and standing up. She offered her hand out for you to hold.

“May I have this dance m’lady?” She bowed.

“Of course madam”

The group started to cheer as you swayed to the music with the taller girl.

“Get married already!” Haseul, of course dramatic as ever, had screamed.

“Unnie you’re not focusing” Iroha pouted as she saw Youngseo’s eyes elsewhere.

Your girlfriend was staring at the scene, feeling her stomach drop and steam come out her ears. She should be the one dancing with you and making you smile.

Not Jeemin.

“Cutest ship ever!!” Minju hollered, waving her flashlight around.

“JeemY/n is the new ship! I volunteer to be captain” Chanelle saluted, everyone giving their approval by more loud cheers.

Jeemin spun you around and then holding you close, but once she caught a glimpse of Youngseo’s cold stare, she started to sweat.

“Your girlfriend is scaring me. Should we stop?” She whispered close to your ear but to Youngseo, it looked like the taller girl was saying sweet nothings.

It pissed her off even more.

“I think it’s time to claim your girl” Iroha suggested, lightly pushing Youngseo’s shoulder to make a move.

“You’re right” she growled and broke through the crowd to snatch you out of Jeemin’s embrace. “Shows over everyone! Kim Y/n is MY girlfriend okay? Got that Bang Jeemin?”

Jeemin put her hands up in defence. “Hey, we were joking around”

“I still love JeemY/n!!” Chanelle yelled.

Moka lightly slapped her arm. “Stop it”

“She’s mine!” Youngseo exclaimed before turning to face you. “What are you doing?”

“Giving you a taste of your own medicine”

Youngseo blinked out of confusion “What?”

“It’s not funny now is it? Making me jealous by using Iroha”

Youngseo hung her head low like a sad cat. “I’m sorry”

You sighed and hugged her by the neck. “Ugh I can’t stay mad at you, cutie”

“Yuck. Back to practicing everyone!” Jiwoo clapped her hands which made the rest of the contestants sulk.

Youngseo giggled before kissing your lips, making sure her possessive hold on your waist was clear enough for people, mostly Jeemin even though she had no intentions, to back off.

[theninthdoor]

Is youngseo who left illit still friends with iroha and minju, both still in illit? Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

cards: ace of cups rx, four of wands, justice, six of swords rx

even if they don't talk super often, I think they're still friends, yes. also, from these cards, I'm getting that Iroha might've taken her departure from the group a little harder than the rest (or in comparison with Minju, at least) - not that she was devastated; just a little sadder than the others.

A/n: Dividers by @cafekitsune

I was in the crowd of a DXMON concert. Ever since they debuted, I've been a big fan of them. Especially Hee... He is such a cutie, his rap, his vocals, his dance, his everything is so admirable and good! My friends say that I'm obsessed with him, but he is just my idol that I look up to. I really hope that we will notice me in the crowd! Spark starts playing and me and my friends sing along to all the lyrics and dance until the song and the concert ends. I was kinda sad I wasn't noticed by Hee, but that's just how the fan life goes. But hey-! Tomorrow is the fan-meet and then I can talk to him and tell him how much I look up to him! When me and my friends walk bast the backstage entrance towards our car to drive to our hotel, a voice calls out to us. “Wait up, girls!” We turn around and see Rex jog over to us and looks at us, “You're coming to our fan-meet tomorrow, right?” “Yeah, we are. Why?”, a friend of mine asks and Rex smiles, “You seem interesting so we wanted to ask. We saw you in the crowd singing and dancing to every song without any mistake.” he turns to me, “You're a Hee fan, aren't you?”, I shyly nod, “I could tell, you went crazy every time he sang or rapped.” I blushed hard and nodded again, “Ah... Yeah... I'm a big fan of him and look up to him...” Rex nodded and then waved at us, “See you tomorrow then! Bye, girls!” he walks backstage again and we continued our trip to our car. We all fangirled over how we talked to Rex and drove back to our hotel.

It's the next day and we're already in line for the fan-meet that's starting anytime now. As soon as the first person sits down in front of Seita, every one is nervous and sweating while the line gets shorter and shorter, until my first friend in sitting in front of Minjae and talking to him. Before I know it, I'm sitting in front of Hee and he signs my albums and posters. We have small talk until he finishes and holds out his hands, which I take immediately and softly squeeze. “I've heard you're my fan?” “Ah- yeah! You're my Bias and one of my favorite Idols! I think your performances are really amazing... Your dancing, singing and rapping is really awesome and I really look up to you!” “Aw... That's nice to hear. Thank you so much! I don't think I'm allowed to do this, but...” He lets go of my hand and grabs my Album again before writing something in there again. When he finished that, he leaned over the table and whispered in my ear, “My number...” He leaned back and grabbed my hands again, “Let's have a chat soon, okay? You're really pretty, by the way...” The buzzer sounds that we have to get up and sit in front of the next Idol. I squeeze his hands again before he pushes my things to TK and I sit in front of him. 'I can't wait to text him and maybe even meet up with him again... My favorite Idol...'

[trolagygirl2022]

Can you do an energy. Heck up on youngseo please thank you 🤍

Youngseo check up

Ace of Wands, 9 of Swords, Justice, Ace of Swords.

Does she still has some ties to HYBE? I see something regarding a contract here, maybe she's trying to break free from it? I see her being held back, she's someone that thinks logically but it clashes a lot with BELIFT causing a ton of issues. She's quite stressed about it and life in general.

[genshinology]

HI AUNI!!

ok so i finished business proposal and it was much better than i was expecting!! but there was a lot of second hand embarrassment for me but it was worth it and so were all the tears i shed over it bc wow like emotional rollercoaster.

i think the best part was that sung-hoon and young-seo ended up together like ik they were the side plot but i loved their story just as much!

i hope you’ve had a good start to your new year, are enjoying your break and taking taking of yourself 🫶🫶

hi lee <3 you were so fast?!?!?? (but then again, the drama is like 12 episodes, right?) omg, i am still binging alchemy of souls and i couldn't prepare myself for the worst bcs some of my friends have already spoiled certain scenes at me :')

the second couple in the show is the cutest?!@??@!?!1 like their chemistry is off the chart and bcs it is based off of a manhwa, there are wedding chapters for both couples (if i'm not mistaken)!!! i personally love the comedy aspect of the show, and as a fan of kim sejeong herself, she really delivers in her acting (also, can we talk abt the chemistry between all of them???? it's insane how well everyone goes w each other, hari and youngseo as well as taemu and sunghoon!) >>>

i hope you're having a great start too! i don't really have a 2023 resolution or smth akin to that but, let's kick off this year with well spirit and a good motivation. thank you lee for dropping by, love youu xoxo <33

Just A Little Bit; Falling For You - Chapter One: lotte world

Word Count: 6,674 Summary: The cousins spends their first Christmas in Seoul as well as the last day of 2022 at Lotte World with friends. masterlist || next chapter

updated: 6.1.24

Four cousins made up of two sets of sisters, Serena and Melanie, and Kierra and Linna, were currently on winter break from their university and working part-time at a cafe. While living in Seoul, the four went by their Korean names out of convenience. Park Minseo and Park Youngseo and Jung Hayoun and Jung Jiyeon, respectively, but sometimes amongst just the four of them and away from others they would end up using their English names, having been born and raised mainly in the States.

"So there's an order of seaweed rice ball, a loaded mochi waffle, a lemon cloud ade, and a cherry blossom ice cream." Melanie read back the order before announcing the overall total.

"That'll be a total of thirteen thousand and five hundred won."

Melanie ran the register while Kierra, Linna, and Serena made the orders as two others ran out the orders and even cleaned the area while doing so, too.

"Here's your number and your order should be out with you shortly." Melanie informed the customers.

The cafe, Simplistic, sold various yet simple items and if you came in during the last half an hour before closing, all items were discounted, so that the shop could start afresh the next day.

"Less than fifteen minutes left and I can actually snack to my heart's content." Serena muttered to herself, but the others clearly heard her.

"I know right." Kierra agreed with a sheepish laugh.

"I mean, it's easy to take a drink and then work, but snacking is a bit harder."

"True that." The others chimed in with a laugh.

"Go ahead and eat a rice ball and mochi waffle or whatever you want." One of the two males co-workers said as the other nodded in agreement.

"Yes, go ahead."

The cousins happily cheered at being given the small treat.

"Thank you, Chanran and Eunchan!" They thanked the pair as they each made their own rice ball and mochi waffle.

"Welcome."

The male duo laughed at their co-workers' behavior before walking to the back of the store to double check products and others things for tomorrow. The cousins had finished making their own rice balls and taken a satisfied bite out of it when a group of seven young men entered soon after.

"Oh, it's kids and friends." Serena commented with a chuckle upon recognizing three of them right away.

Despite knowing all seven of the males, she was much closer with the three younger ones as they bothered her the most.

"Um, we'll be in the back." Linna said as she and Melanie ran off with only Kierra hearing them while Serena didn't.

Serena took noticed and leaned closer to Kierra to ask her about it.

"Why'd they leave?"

"You're so clueless despite making fun of them and using their situations as inspiration for your story plots." Kierra commented as it finally dawned on Serena.

"Ah, right, right. I never really thought about it though."

However, Serena cast her cousin a playful look.

"But you're my favorite muse of them all."

Kierra scowled with a roll of her eyes.

"Yeah, I know, but I hope that you'll get your own karma with one of the other four."

Serena scoffed.

"Ni-Ki, Jungwon, and Sunoo are babies." She reasoned, seeming offended.

Kierra chuckled, amused.

"Then that leaves you with the obvious answer, cousin."

"No way."

"Yes, way!" She cheered.

"And so you get with Heeseung as the other three are off limits since you shipped them with the three of us."

"Obviously as those three fits y'all as I already used the three of you as my muses."

Serena grinned before frowning.

"However, yeah, right. Heeseung and I aren't compatible at all."

She tsked.

"If I didn't like him back in high school, then what makes you think I would like him now?"

"You never know though." Kierra remarked, shrugging.

"Things change and so do people."

She eyed her cousin.

"Besides, this isn't high school and we're in university now."

"I do know and feelings don't change so fast."

Serena rolled her eyes as Kierra grinned.

"Some times they do and life is unpredictable."

"Whatever."

"C'mon. Don't you believe in the invisible string theory and the red string of fate, too?"

Kierra nudged her cousin.

"I know you do because you write such things that you have to do some research on them, too, for realness of sorts."

"Yeah, and so?"

Serena rolled her eyes in good-nature.

"Those are things I write for fun."

She smiled.

"Besides, I enjoy reading other people's stories and the myths, too." She reasoned.

Kierra scoffed.

"Yeah, I know."

Serena ignored her.

"Mainly, it's just something I don't really think of much happening in real life, Hayoun." Serena commented while nudging her cousin back, slightly annoyed.

"Also, get off my back and go do something else."

"No. I feel like this is just deserved and the three of us are tired of being your muse some times."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever and besides, Heeseung's too tall."

"You're just short."

Kierra laughed as Serena scoffed.

"I'm considered slightly tall for an Asian girl and so are you. It's our sisters that are tall for an average Asian girl."

'Yeah, that's pretty true. People always think you and I are the younger sister."

"I know right."

Serena chuckled before casting her cousin with a Cheshire smile.

"By the way, does that mean you accept your fate with you-know-who?"

"No. Now shut up." Kierra declined with a sharp look.

The two nudged one another playfully while awaiting for what the seven wanted to order. Anyway, Linna had a crush on the one named Park Sunghoon. Melanie is friends and was tutored by another named Sim Jaeyun, who also went by Jake. Kierra has this weird relationship of sorts with a third named Park Jongseong, who also went by Jay. As for Serena, well she had had classes in the past with Heeseung, but their paths hardly crossed and didn't interact much out of school where all eleven attended the same same school, Hyebi University. However, they were all friends with a lot of mutuals between them, especially when the cousins were also friends with Sunoo and Jungwon's sisters.

"Now it's your turn."

Kierra nudged Serena to work the cash register. Serena shot her cousin an annoy look before facing the young men with a polite smile.

"What can we make fresh for you tonight?"

Ni-Ki leaned closer with a lovable smile.

"You think you could add in a bit of service for us, Minseo?"

"Not for you."

The others busted out laughing at the unexpected interaction while Ni-Ki rolled his eyes in good-nature as Serena smiled.

"Is Youngseo and Jiyeon around?" Jungwon inquired, curiously.

"Yeah, they're in the back."

Serena pointed to behind her.

"Do you want to talk to them instead?"

"Nah, I'll talk to them later," A Cheshire-like smile graced his features, "But I can talk to you, too."

"No."

"Wow."

Jungwon scoffed, eyeing Serena as she chuckled before turning her gaze over to Sunoo.

"How about you, Sunoo?"

"Do you have any mint choco related items?" Sunoo asked, looking around the menu and the display.

"I don't see any listed."

"Because not many are fond of it, but yes, we do, Mint Choco Lover." Serena cooed playfully with Sunoo chuckling.

"Yeah, yeah. So, what do you got?"

"We have a mint syrup we can use to make some stuff like putting it on the mochi waffles and ice cream. We could try blending some as a shake if you like."

"Oh, perfect. Yeah, I'll think about it."

Sunoo flashed her smile as Serena did the same thing while inputting more than the half-off discount before glancing at the others as it was nearing closing time.

"Alright..." She trailed off upon connecting eyes with Heeseung as he flashed her a warm smile.

Soon, Kierra's words immediately came to mind and she got distracted of what she was gonna say next.

"Uh..."

She instantly avoided eye-contact and looked to behind the group and at the wall instead.

"Okay, yeah, so what would you like to get started with?" She asked, hoping he and the others didn't catch that awkward moment just now.

"Do you still have a lot of protein options available this late?" Sunghoon asked a second later as Serena nodded.

"Yes, we do."

She slight tilted her head.

"Anything in particular you'll like to order?"

"Uh, pyeonyuk?" Sunghoon said in a questioning tone. as Serena nodded.

"Yeah, we got plenty of that."

"Okay, thanks."

"Welcome."

She glanced around at the others.

"So, what can we get started for the rest of y'all?"

Some spoke at the same time while the others glanced at one another wondering what the other was gonna order. Serena heard a few items, but did not input any of it into the register, wondering if this was gonna end well.

"Yeah, we'll take one of everything."

She glanced over at Jay who had spoken with Kierra shooting him a disbelief look.

"Seriously?"

"Yeah, Hayoun, seriously."

Jay shot her a wide smile as Kierra scowled, but still spoke in a polite tone.

"Let me double-check on the ice bars."

"Okay."

The smile remained on Jay's face as Kierra's scowl shifted to a netural expression while she crouched down to double-check on the ice bars. Serena hadn't noticed as she continued inputting one of every menu item into the system after hearing each of them order.

"Um, anything else while she checks that?"

They once again spoke over one another before they got their order in control. Serena inputted all the other additional orders into the system while preparing all the bottled and can drinks as they continued to order. Serena re-confirmed the group's order as it got bigger once all seven mentioned in detail what they wanted for sure.

"Alright, your total will be ninety-eight thousand and seven hundred and seventy won."

"Wow. Really?"

"Mmhmm."

They were surprised of the total, expecting it to cost more. Serena refrained from chuckling at their reaction before hearing one of them speak. Suddenly four cards were offered to Serena by the oldest four although she wasn't sure which one to take. Each one insisted that he would be paying for all of them with neither of them backing down. Serena did the only thing she knew that would settled it faster

"Hey, Hayoun."

"Hmm?" Kierra hummed while grabbing all the ice bars after getting the rest of the bottled and can drinks.

"Left or right?"

"Left."

"One through four."

"three."

"Me or them?"

"You."

"Thanks."

"Mmhmm."

The seven were confused about what had just happened, but realized what it was for as Serena tapped the card of the third person, counting from the left side of her which was Heeseung. Serena gave him a polite smile after indicating for him to swipe, remaining calm, cool, and collect.

"Your order should be out with you shortly and your number is five."

She flashed him a quick smile while motioning to the tables.

"Please have a seat anywhere you like."

"Thank you." The group thanked her as Heeseung shot her a smile while he took the number tent.

"Thanks, Minseo."

"Welcome, Heeseung."

He lingered around and she watched him, curiously.

"Did you need something else?"

Heeseung smiled, shaking his head.

"Not really, but weren't you working at that Gong Food place earlier this year?"

"Ah, that. Not anymore. I quit."

Serena wasn't aware that Heeseung knew that. Before Heeseung could comment, Jake interrupted him and Serena's focus went towards him.

"Hi. Sorry, but could we push like three of the tables together?"

"Yes, Jake, you can." Serena replied.

Jake smiled as he and the others pushed two small tables to make an even bigger one together while thanking them.

"Thanks, Minseo."

"Welcome."

Heeseung shot her another smile before walking away as Ni-Ki lingered at the counter this time around while he pointed behind Serena.

"Can I have one of those first?"

She glanced over her shoulder to see the jars of lollipops she and the others had brought for themselves before focusing back on him.

"No."

"Not even one?"

"Nope. They're mine."

"There's like a lot, Minseo."

Ni-Ki pouted as Serena shook her head still.

"And your point is, Ni-Ki?"

"You're mean."

"I know."

"Please?"

"Not uh."

"Fine."

Ni-Ki made a face before changing topics.

"Anyway, what are y'all doing on Christmas day?"

"Working." Serena responded, not missing a beat.

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"All day?"

"No. Just the day time."

"Hmm, interesting."

"How so?"

"Just is."

She eyed him.

"Why?"

"No reason."

"Liar."

Ni-Ki cast her with an amused look as Serena eyed him.

"Why are you asking, Nishimura Riki?"

He chuckled upon hearing his full name.

"I'm just asking, Park Minseo."

"Hmm, then I ain't gonna give you my lollipops."

"C'mon. There's like so many."

"Yeah, I know."

"You're mean."

"I know. Didn't we just go through this earlier?"

"Yes, but I thought you would change your answer."

"Not with you."

Serena chuckled as Ni-Ki made a face, but relented.

"Fine."

Serena flashed him a smile as he walked away, sulking.

"Alright, so Eunchan and Chanran are busy with manager duties so it's just me and you as our sisters preferred to keep their distance at the moment." Kierra informed Serena as the latter's brows furrowed.

"Wait, why do they wanna do that?"

"You know why, but anyway, we'll just take it out per set to make it easier."

"Okay, cool."

Serena lifted the tray of canned and bottled drinks with two hands before remembering something. She set the tray back down before grabbing a handful of lollipops and placing them onto the tray with a knowing smile. The rest of the night went fine despite Melanie and Linna staying out of sight until the group had left, not wanting to interact as they preferred to do it on school grounds instead of outside of it, especially during breaks from school, despite their sisters teasing them afterwards.

"Let's turn back." Kierra suggested, whispering for only the three to hear.

Come Christmas evening a couple of days later, Kierra and Serena eventually found themselves at Lotte World alongside their sisters, close friends, mutual friends, and several others they attended school alongside with. Ni-Ki and friends were also present and were casually conversing with their other mutual friends, too. Still, Serena and Kierra were a bit apprehensive as they preferred a smaller outing due to not socializing as much as their sisters. Then again, Melanie and Linna weren't looking forward to the nightly outing either upon seeing Jake and Sunghoon, respectively, within the crowd.

"They did not say that he would be here and so I don't want to be here." Kierra continued.

By 'he', Kierra meant Jay.

"I'm with Kierra on this though. I thought it would just be a girls' night out and not like a classmate slash friend trip." Linna agreed with a slight nervous tone.

"I didn't think he would be joining us, too."

For Linna, 'he' was Sunghoon. Despite how she found him cute and all, that didn't mean she wanted to be around him like this. She was okay at keeping her distance.

"Maybe it won't be that bad. I mean, Woojoo and Sujin would've told us." Melanie reasoned with a calm demeanor.

Woojoo was Sunoo's sister and Sujin was Jungwon's sister. Serena shot her sister a weird look.

"Didn't you like run away last time from Jake when the others came to Simplistic?"

"I didn't run away from Jake. The dishes needed to get cleared up."

"Right."

"Anyway," Kierra interjected, "Melanie actually gets along with Jake though."

Linna nodded.

"Yeah. They're a lot closer compare to me and Kierra."

Melanie rolled her eyes.

"He's just a classmate and my math tutor."

"Again, why did you run away when he came in that night with the others, hmm?" Serena inquired with a quirk brow, not dropping the matter.

Melanie nonchalantly gave her sister a vague answer.

"Because I can."

Melanie dimissed the issue.

"Besides, I mean, if you actually think about it, we all don't have to do the same thing as them since there's so many of us and it's not like they would notice."

"Yeah, that's true." Serena agreed with a nod.

"Like we can hang out in different areas and even do different things, too."

Melanie cast the others with a knowing look.

"Besides, it's not like Ni-Ki, Jungwon, Sunoo, and the others are just gonna hang out with only us for the night, too, when there are all the others around for them to play with as well." Melanie reasoned.

"Besides, I'm pretty sure there's a few of them that just wanna get this chance to hang out with some people in particular, too."

"True, but that depends if we can do anything since it's super crowded tonight." Kierra commented with a sigh as Serena agreed.

"Yeah. I forget that a lot of couples and families come to these places during special days and what not."

Their friends and several other voices loudly called out for the quartet, realizing they'd fallen behind and hurried on over to the rather large group just outside the major recreation complex with polite smiles.

"Hi." The quartet politely greeted the party.

"Okay, cool, y'all are finally here." Ni-Ki said with an excited tone.

"Let's go on the Atlantis."

He immediately hooked arms with Serena and Kierra while pulling them along in the direction of the building.

"Can't we do a different one? I would prefer if we did something else before the Atlantis." Serena complained with Kierra agreeing.

"Yeah. Something like the World Monorail or the Fantasy Dream at least?"

"Ooh, if so, then I vote for the Gyro Drop, Gyro Spin, or even the Gyro Swing!" Ni-Ki suggested instead with a laugh.

Serena continued to complain.

"Nah, not yet. Let's do a simplier ride before doing the big ones."

She turned to look over her shoulders and connected eyes with Sunoo.

"Sunoo, please help me."

"What do you want me to do, Minseo?" Sunoo responded back as Serena chuckle.

"Take me away from him."

"Nah."

"Oh, c'mon. We can even do the Studio Slick."

"Oh, yeah! Let's go!"

Sunoo ran to catch up with the trio as Serena broke free from Ni-Ki's grasp and hooked arms with Sunoo as the pair ran away, giggling.

"Yah! Minseo! Sunoo! What about me?!" Kierra called after them, but the pair ignored her.

Ni-Ki grinned as he pulled Kierra closer.

"You still got me."

Kierra eyed him before a thought came to her.

"Let's race. Whoever wins gets to choose the first ride, yeah?"

"Okay."

"1, 2, an-"

Kierra ran off first, leaving Ni-Ki behind.

"Don't cheat!" Ni-Ki screamed after her, his long legs catching up.

"I have to!" Kierra yelled, not looking back and running as fast as she could to ditch the younger man while laughing.

The rest of the party stared after their friends either amused or confused before following after them, discussing their own plans.

"Alright, who allowed Ni-Ki to take us on the Jungle Adventure in this weather?"

Both Kierra and Serena asked their sisters as the quartet were in the restroom drying themselves off after going on the ride through the rapids inside a dark cave a few minutes ago.

"The both of you did."

Both Melanie and Linna confirmed, annoyed.

"Oh, yeah."

At first it was just the older pair that hung out with Ni-Ki, but the younger two joined them for awhile as the group went around Magic Island before finding themselves at Adventure. Anyway, the four continued to pat themselves dry as best as possible, knowing how cold it was inside the theme park itself as well as the cold weather outside of it, too.

"Let's get some hot chocolate after this." Melanie suggested as Linna agreed.

"Oh, yes, please. We need that for sure."

The cousins hoped they wouldn't get sick because of it just to give their friend some fun memories.

"Y'all can get hot chocolate, but we're get something else." Kierra said, pointing to herself and Serena.

"Since we don't lik hot chocolate at all."

"Yeah, yeah."

The other two agreed.

"Definitely need it."

Once they exited the restroom, Ni-Ki patiently waited for them while playing on his phone. He looked up when they neared as he smiled, playfully.

"The others are at the skating rink and they're waiting for us to join them."

The quartet looked at one another, tiredly, but mustered up the energy to nod and appear fine.

"Sure."

"Yeah."

"Okay."

"Alright."

Neither of them knew how to ice skate or have ever bothered with the sport, but decided that they would get hot chocolate later.

"Can't yall just stop hugging the side?"

Ni-Ki carefully skated alongside both Serena and Kierra as the two were using the rink's ledge to keep their balance.

"At least move away from the ledge like Jiyeon and Youngseo."

"You're not that good yourself." Serena countered with a laugh as Kierra eyed Ni-Ki.

"Actually, why not go and pester the other two?"

She was too focused to keep her balance to not fall.

"They're not that fun like you two, but okay. Fine."

Ni-Ki just rolled his eyes before slowly, but clumsily skating away. Kierra glanced behind her to look at her cousin.

"How about we just ditch our sisters and go home once we circle back to the entrance?"

"Sounds good, but we can't ditch them like that. Besides, it would look bad on the others if we just left, too."

Serena cast her cousin with a pointed look as Kierra sighed.

"Well, it was worth a try."

Just then, Kierra wobbled as she tried to look ahead of her again, but out of reflex her hand went out to grab a hold of Serena's arm or body. Serena noticed and tried to move out of the way, but couldn't in time.

"Wait. No. Hayoun. Yah, Jung Hayoun, don't gr-"

Both of them went crashing to the icy ground. Serena slightly smacked Kierra while groaning and just resting on the cold floor as other skaters passed on by them.

"This is why we're not supposed to reach out to one another when learning how to skate and that we might fall."

"My bad."

"Did you not pay attention to what Sunghoon said earlier?"

"Not really."

Kierra sheepishly laughed as Serena barely smacked her, feeling tired. Serena sighed a second later.

"I seriously did not want to spend my Christmas this way."

"You and me both."

The pair chuckled more at their current feelings and predicament than anything else.

"Do you need help?"

Kierra and Serena immediately quit laughing as they gaze up to see Jay and Heeseung hovering above them with concerned looks while holding out their hands for them to grab on to, respectively.

"No thanks, Jay. You're just as bad as I am."

Kierra pushed Jay's hands away, but he insisted.

"No, I'm not."

"Yeah, you are."

"I'm a little better than you, Hayoun."

"Yeah, right. I've watched you skate earlier and you're so bad."

"Oh, yeah?"

"Shut up."

"C'mon, Hayoun. Just take my hand."

"No, Jay."

The two argued for a while longer while Serena cast Heeseung with a polite look.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Serena accepted Heeseung's assistance as he pulled her to her feet whereas Kierra reluctantly accepted Jay's help. However, both ended up struggling themselves, causing a domino effect. Kierra fell against Jay, Jay then knocked into the back of Serena's legs, and she ungracioiusly fell on top of Heeseung, causing them to all fall against the cold floor. The four groaned in slight pain with Serena quickly rolling off of Heeseung, apologizing, and Kierra hitting Jay on his upper body, annoyed.

"I told you that you were just as bad as me."

"I didn't think it was that bad."

Kierra smack him once again as Jay flinched upon being hit.

"I'm sorry."

She gave him one more smack before rolling away from him with a huff. Jay groaned once more, but stayed quiet not wanting to be hit by the female a fourth time. The group of four slowly got up on their own accord while some of their friends watched from a distance. Melanie chuckled at the scene while standing still, wondering if it wasn't so bad to come out tonight.

"What are you laughing about, Youngseo?"

She turned her attention to see Jake as he stood beside her, wondering why he was standing beside her. He, too, gazed in the direction she faced.

"Did something happen?"

"Yeah, something like that."

His gaze focused onto her a moment later as his lips quirked up.

"Hmm, make sure you don't end up like those four over there. Safety comes first."

"Noted."

She cast him with a small smile before slowly skating off a bit clumsily. Jake strided alongside her just a bit better although he stole glances at her figure to make sure she was skating along fine on her own.

"By the way, this new school term coming up, will you still need my help with math again?"

She totally forgot about that and knew that she'll need more help once school started up again. Math was never her strongest subject since young and she hated the continuation of it even into her university years. She nodded, not looking at him as she focused all of her attention on keeping steady and ahead of her.

"Yes, please. I look forward to our tutoring sessions again along with your patience."

A smile graced his face with a simple nod, looking ahead of him as well.

"Me, too."

Meanwhile, Linna minded her own business and moved along fine at her own pace, getting used to the ice. Somehow Sunghoon assumed Linna needed assistance due to her cautious movements while making another go around of the skating rink. Still, of all the others he could be concern with, why did he have to come on over and check in on her.

"Take my hand, Jiyeon."

Sunghoon offered his hands out for Linna to take, but she ended up just latching her hands onto his forearms instead after his persistence.

"You're doing much better than before, Jiyeon." He praised, but her attention focused more on their situation than of her own skating.

Sunghoon carefully skated backwards, leading Linna along as she skated foreward while each held onto the other's forearms. Yet she faced their pair of skates than of the person leading her. Despite his encouragement, she didn't respond. He watched her a bit longer as a teasing thought crossed his mind. He made the movement of letting go of her forearms, causing her to slightly panicked and became alert. She reached to grab his forearms again, but in the process she ended up wobbling and missing his arms. This caused her to tumbled onto her butt as she swung back to counteract from falling forward.

"Are you okay?" Sunghoon immediately asked as Linna nodded, not looking up at him.

"Yeah, Sunghoon, I'm fine."

Linna couldn't looked at him as her attention looked around her instead, feeling embarrassed and awkward. Sunghoon observed her while backing away a bit to give her room to stand on her own again.

"You're not hurt anywhere, right?"

"I'm not, but thanks."

Linna cast him with a soft smile before slowly getting back to her feet. She wobbled and he almost reached out to assist, but backed off once she steadied herself.

"Um, thanks though."

"Um, yeah, you're welcome."

Just as Sunghoon opened his mouth to say something else, Woojoo popped up and took a hold of Linna's arm.

"Hey, sorry, Sunghoon, but us girls are gonna ride the carousel."

Woojoo dragged Linna away as they gathered with the others, exiting the ice rink to head to the Camelot Carousel while Linna let out a relieved breath.

"Why are we here at Lotte World again?" Kierra questioned with a disbelief look and tone as the quartet arrived at the recreation complex a couple days later.

"Especially on the last day of the year. Y'all know how it gets, right?"

She eyed Melanie and Linna.

"Couldn't we have gone to Lotte World Tower or COEX to see fireworks instead?"

Kierra looked around them at the large crowd coming and going about the theme park.

"I mean, we've already been here and don't really need to check it out further."

"Yeah. Did y'all forget how some people have said it gets super crowded here around December, right?" Serena added, mirroring Kierra's expression.

"Heck, even SEOULIGHT would have been better to see a cool light display than Lotte World's rides and such. It's kind of a hassle."

The duo still continued to slightly complained about having to spend their last hours out and about on the last day of 2022.

"Also," Serena began, "I'm sure the two of you didn't forget that I clearly told y'all that I was gonna sleep in on the new year, too."

"That doesn't sound so bad because I really don't have time for this, but I do got the time to sleep though." Kierra added with a laugh.

"Oh, we'll be fine." The younger two dismissed their sisters' words.

"Let's just have a little fun before the year ends since we always went home for the holidays." Linna reasoned.

"It is our first time to spend it like this in general?"

"Yeah, it is and we should make the most of it since we couldn't go back home like usual." Melanie agreed while shooting the older two a look.

"Even if it's crowded, it's not like we do this all the time. So, let's just have some fun for tonight, yeah?"

The younger two convinced the older two to spend their last hours at the popular theme park again since everyone else had already made their own plans for the last day of the twenty-twenty-two year. Although the cousins couldn't return back home for winter holidays due to some miscommunication on their part and not wanting to book expensive flights at the last minute had decided to just stay in Seoul for the winter vacation. Unknown to Kierra and Serena, but Linna and Melanie had planned ahead of time with Woojoo, Sujin, and others, to spend the last day of the year with one another despite the heavy traffic.

"Hi!" Woojoo and Sujin greeted the cousins as they hugged one another.

"So glad to see y'all!"

"Now that we're all here, let's go inside." Sujin said as Woojoo pointed a thumb over her shoulders.

"Also, we're sorry for not notifying y'all earlier about the others tagging along."

"Huh?"

The quartet titled their heads upon hearing that.

"What do you mean?" Kierra questioned.

The four looked to where Woojoo had pointed to an even larger party than last time. They all waved and greeted one another out of politeness and friendliness.

"Yeah, well," Sujin began, "Woojoo and I were talking about it the other day and our brothers overheard us."

"But we were talking quietly yet they still heard us somehow." Woojoo reasoned with an apologetic look.

"And so they told several others, who in turned told several others, and now there's a huge party."

"It's all good." The quartet dismissed as they made their way towards them.

Usually they weren't fond of such large crowds in general, but it couldn't be helped. Also, they didn't have to hang out with every single one of them either. So, the others continued on with Serena and Kierra trailing behind just a bit slower than the four, not all that excited to spend their last day at an amusement park.

"Now that Jay's also here, are you and him gonna have more couple moments before this year ends?" Serena inquired, amused.

Kierra scowled upon remembering her last photography assignment before winter break started.

"Ugh. I rather not."

"But like you can totally make a small photobook, especially with my words included on all the photographs you have."

"Yeah, I know you would think so. Besides, I told you not to bring that up."

"I have to since you promised to give Jay copies."

"Oh, shit. I forgot about that."

"Wow and here I thought you and Jay would become official."

"Shut up. You're a jerk."

"Takes one to know one."

"Touche."

The two shared a giggle or two amongst them.

"What are you two talking about?" Sujin asked, coming up to the two and interlocking her arms with each of them.

"On how much sweets we're gonna buy for ourselves." They chimed at the same time.

The two glanced at one another, impressed, as how scary it is at times when they reply at the same time with the same things.

"Ooh, yeah. They have some nice selections." Sujin commented with a smile.

"Let's go."

She dragged the other two along with her to follow after the others to meet up with the rest of the much larger group before they entered the amusement park with several of them splitting into smaller groups soon afterwards to do whatever is that they wanted to do first.

"Sunghoon is really good at ice skating." Melanie commented as she and Linna watched the male gliding around the ice rink, effortlessly.

"Yeah, he is." Linna agreed, slightly in awe.

"I heard that he's been skating since he was younger and even wanted to be a figure skater, too."

"Oh, nice. He has the form and skills for it."

"Mmhmm."

The pair were taking a break from other activities after returning their skates while watching their other friends either on the ice or around the place. Their sisters went off with Sunoo, Jungwon, and a few others to buy some headbands and other merchandises.

"You should confess." Melanie commented after a moment of silence.

She noticed how her cousin was watching Sunghoon's figure throughout the ice rink despite many others being on ice with him.

"Yeah, right."

"I mean, you would rather admit your feelings instead of having regrets, right. Yeah?"

"I guess, but I dunno."

Linna sighed while watching Sunghoon skate with the others.

"I feel like he likes someone else."

"Who?"

"I dunno. Just a feeling."

"Well, it could still be you." Melanie suggested in a matter-of-fact tone as Linna scoffed.

"Yeah, right."

Linna redirected the conversation elsewhere.

"Anyway, enough about me."

She chast her cousin a look.

"What about you?"

"What about me?"

Melanie cast Linna with a puzzled look.

"Are you gonna confess to Jake any time soon" 

Melanie rolled her eyes with a scoff.

"We're not even like that."

"But you never know."

"But I do know."

"How so?"

Melanie let out a huff before lifting two fingers while speaking.

"One, he and I are just school mates. Nothing more. Two, Jake also just tutors me in math. Again, nothing more than that."

She cast her cousin with a pointed look.

"There's really nothing else there and I honestly don't really see him like that despite him being attractive and is a fun guy to be around, but we don't really hang out though outside of all that."

"Why not though? I mean, he's been your tutor for like three years and y'all never thought to hang out?"

Melanie shrugged.

"Dunno, but other than that, unlike you and Sunghoon, I don't really have a crush on the guy."

Linna really doesn't believe her cousin's words.

"Nah. There has got to be something going on between the two of you."

"Honestly, there isn't."

"I feel like there is."

"That's just you then."

Before Linna could counter, Woojoo and Sujin suddenly joined the two and sat next to them.

"Hey, so what are you two talking about?" Sujin inquired with a michievous look.

"Something interesting?"

"Nothing." The pair responded as Woojoo rolled her eyes before speaking.

"Yeah, right. I saw Jiyeon staring intensely at Sunghoon earlier."

The quartet's eyes focused on the ice rink, locating the said male with Jake, Ni-Ki, and several others.

"Jiyeon has a major crush, but won't act upon it." Sujin teased her as Linna nudged her playfully back.

"And I won't."

"I think you should." Woojoo suggested with an encouraging smile.

"I mean, nobody wants to get rejected, but isn't that better than not knowing?"

"I'm okay with not knowing though." Linna answered, although not too confident.

"Right."

Woojoo and Sujin cast their eyes onto Melanie as she looked between them.

"What?"

"You and Jake." They replied as Melanie rolled her eyes.

"There's nothing between us."

However, their conversation was cut short when Serena appeared before them.

"Hey, so I'm gonna go home." Serena informed, having come upon them.

"Why?" They questioned.

"I did something to Jungwon earlier just now."

A giggle escaped from Serena's lips as she held something behind her back. 

"Does it have something to do with what you got behind you?" Sujin inquired as Serena grinned mischievously.

"Maybe, maybe not."

They laughed as Serena's name was yelled out by said person.

"Yah! Park Minseo!"

Serena didn't turn to face the person, but the other four did.

"Ah, so yeah, gotta go."

She giggled.

"Buh-bye!"

Serena ran off with Jungwon running by a moment later, trying to catch up to Serena. Kierra stopped by having spotted the trio, running after her cousin and friend.

"If Sunoo comes by, denied that you saw me and Minseo going this way."

"Why?" Woojoo asked, but Kierra didn't answer her question.

"Just because."

"But weren't y'all with him and the others to buy headbands?"

"Yeah, we were."

Kierra tentatively touched the sparkly and large orange bow headband on her head.

"This is so not my style, but Sunoo insisted."

She flashed them a smile.

"Anyway, we agreed to get them to take pictures and during that time, Minseo wanted to do something and I followed through."

A chuckle left her lips.

"So, we may or may not have caused some trouble for Jungwon and Sunoo."

"That's cute." They commented as Kierra nodded with a smile.

"Yeah, but um, yeah, okay, thanks, and bye!"

She ran off in the same direction as the other two before giving the trio any time to respond. A few seconds later Sunoo appeared before the trio.

"Hayoun and the other two ran past you guys, right?"

"Yeah." They responded automatically.

"I knew it."

"What did she do?" Woojoo inquired, curiously.

"Yeah, what did she and Minseo do?" Sujin chimed in a second later.

Melanie and Linna had a feeling of what it was, but didn't say anything.

"Minseo stole our chocolates and candies while Hayoun distracted us." Sunoo explained with a light laugh.

"Jungwon's also upset that Minseo made him lose focus when he was trying to win a plush toy and later ate all of his jellies while doing so."

The quartet laughed with a nod.

"Sounds about right."

"Anyway, gotta go before something happens."

Sunoo cast the four with a salute before running off after the other three.

"Wow, those two really attract trouble, don't they?" Sujin commented.

"Pretty much." The duo agreed with a laugh.

"Hey, let's watch the fireworks." Woojoo suggested a second later.

"Are you gonna confess to Sunghoon when they shoot off?" Sujin teased Linna as she just nudged her playfully, not commenting.

Of course, Linna made no confession that night, but Woojoo and Sujin got Melanie to admit that she thought Jake was cute as the four enjoyed Lotte World's fireworks alongside with their friends. Meanwhile, Kierra and Serena were caught by Sunoo and Jungwon while being forced to pay back the snacks. The two also had to try and win a random plush doll, too, until the area closed for the night. Neither Serena or Kierra were able to do so, either out of spite or due to Jungwon messing with them. Still, the night ended well as they all watched the night sky light up and they wished one another a happy new year into 2023 alongside a stronger friendship.

Dxmon - Kissing Him In Front of the Other Members 😨😰

A/N - haiiii omg this is a request !!!! I wasn't sure if you wanted me to just out your prof or not tho so I didn't reply to your ask 😭😭😭 but thank you for your kind words and I hope you're taking care of yourself too :3333 ALSO!!!! To the person who asked about Hee I am SO SORRY but I couldn't figure out how to write either of your requests 😣😣😣 ily tho and thank you for requesting anyways !! OK OK bye 🌸🍬🍭🩷

Warnings - kissing ?????? Lowkey but highkey really cringe, Um Jo and Rex r included...... I'm under 18 plsplspls. Also probably grammar mistakes and typos I did NAWT proofread

Minjae def gets all shy. He'll try his best to hide it, but his bright red ears immediately give him away. He would absolutely never hate to get a kiss from you though, and definitely will go back for another ♡. He's smitten !!!!! 😽😽😽

I am a firm believer Seita is absolutely babygirl !!!! He will giggle and turn away from you if you kiss him in front of anyone really, but especially his group members. Won't go back for another but he will squeeze you into a hug. He lives for your kisses.

Youngseo looooves receiving kisses from you, but in front of his members ?!?!? He's bright red ! Still loves it though, and will quickly give you another tiny smooch before returning back to whatever he was doing. Orrrrrr if he wasn't doing anything, he'll cuddle himself up into your side :3, quietly asking for another.

Taekyu gets so so so shy. He'll immediately hide his face from you, which only makes you want to kiss him more !!!!!!! Pull his hands away from his face and give him more kisses, he loves it !!!! Even if he denies the fact 😣😣 the other members might tell you to get a room though...

Minjun looooves it lolol. He could not care less his group members were in the same room. He'll give you another kiss before he scatters them all around your entire face. He literally gets intense love surges anytime you come near him !!!!!

Junseong won't have much of a reaction, besides maybe a lil smile, but his red ears will definitely let you know he's flustered. Kiss him again though, and he'll squeeze you, waffling on about how you can't kiss him in front of his members !!!!! He's supposed to be the 'man' and your kisses don't do anything but make him all soft 😣😣😣

Kiss kiss fall in love 🤓🤓

Lee Youngseo x F!reader

📝: You and Youngseo have been keeping your relationship on the down low since R U Next began. But the moment one contestant found out the truth, there was no point of hiding anymore

⚠️: fluffy YoungY/n type of fic, Youngseo tops in the relationship but not in a nsfw way (does that make sense😭), reader is in the Bad Boy group with Jiwoo, Jeongeun and Chanelle, English speaker reader, reader is an 05

For: @strawbseo

“Yesss Y/n, your vocals are vocallingggg” Chanelle praised with a dramatic click of her fingers.

You had to cover your mouth to laugh. “You’re making me shy”

“What does vocalling mean?” Jiwoo asked as she scratched her head.

“It’s just a silly expression to say that Y/n’s vocals are super good” the half American explained.

Jiwoo slowly nodded her head. “So if I said her singing is singinging…”

“Mmm doesn’t work like that”

The two walked off as Chanelle tried explaining the phrase in a better way and Jeongeun followed them. You mentally patted yourself on the back just before an arm rested around your shoulder.

“Hey, beautiful” your girlfriend whispered closely in your ear.

You hid your face in her chest. An advantage for Youngseo because she was taller than you. “Hi, Youngie”

“Your vocals never fail to blow me away. I kept messing up in my group practice because I was focusing on you more” She giggled.

“Is that why I heard Moa Unnie scolding you?”

“Yep. It was hard finding an excuse”

“It better have been a good one” You playfully warned.

“Yah, what’s happening over here? Are you two a couple now or something?” Yunah teased while wrapping her long arms around you and Youngseo.

“We’re actually married. We made that official with our cheese rings last night” Youngseo replied smoothly.

“Last night? I would’ve wifed up Y/n the moment we met” Yunah winked at you, causing you to blush and hide in Youngseo’s chest again.

“Hey back off, she’s mine” You heard your girlfriend say in a tone that you couldn’t decipher.

Yunah laughed it off and ran away to annoy Minju who was eating Jihyun’s snacks. You pinched your girlfriend’s cheek as hard as you could.

“OW!”

Going on your tippy toes, your lips matched height with her ear. “You need to learn to control your emotions or else we’re gonna get caught”

“Ow ow ow im sorry! I didn’t like what she said” Youngseo whined before you released her now reddening cheek.

“Just don’t be too obvious, babe”

“Can I kiss you?”

“Youngseo…”

“It’ll be a quick one!”

You looked around the room and thankfully no one was paying attention to you or your whiny girlfriend. “Fine. But let’s go and get snacks. I’m kinda hungry”

Youngseo grabbed your hand and started walking towards the doors but Jiwoo stepped right in front to block your path.

“And where are you two going?”

“Just getting snacks” Youngseo replied happily.

“And you’re taking Y/n?”

“She was the one who asked me to go with her. Don’t worry Jiwoo Unnie, we’ll be back before you know it!”

Jiwoo sighed and stepped aside. “Alright. Bring me something back while you’re at it. Wonhee ate everything in my bag”

“No worries, Unnie. Bye~”

Your girlfriend continued to drag you down the halls where the vending machines were located. Your sparkling eyes scanned over the delicious chips and drinks provided.

Youngseo’s sparkling eyes, however, were all on you. Her arm went around your waist and her smile seemed to grow impossibly bigger than before. “You’re so pretty, Baby. Do you know that?”

Thank God for the air conditioner inside the building otherwise you would’ve melted to the ground by now. You covered your face and started squealing. “Stop it!”

“But I’m telling the truth. You’re beautiful and I’m so lucky to call you mine” she continued to say while she kissed your head. “Now which snacks would you like?”

You peeked through your fingers. “The spicy chips please”

“Alright…but give me kiss first” Youngseo quickly said and puckered her lips.

You held her cheeks and kneaded them like dough. “You’re so frustrating but so cute”

“Kiss kiss kiss~” she chanted a bit too loud that you jumped into kissing her on the lips.

It was strong enough to almost knock her down but she managed to keep her balance by squeezing your waist. You finished the kiss with 3 more pecks before you pulled away.

“There, can I get my chips now?”

“Mmm, there’s an extra kissing fee”

“For what?!”

“Because I’m your girlfriend and I need more kisses or else I’ll die”

“Stop being dramatic! We’re always together 24/7”

Youngseo pouted. “Just a few more and I won’t ask again”

Rolling your eyes, you kissed her gently this time. It let Youngseo savour the taste and warmth of your soft lips and the feeling of your small hands caress her nape.

Neither of you wanted the moment to end.

But a loud gasp caused you two to separate.

Chanelle stood there with her jaw slacked. “I-I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt—whatever is going on”

“Chanelle Unnie! I-I uh…Let us explain” you panicked in English.

“Hey woah there sister, you don’t need to explain anything. I’m not a snitch” she chuckled. “Sorry for my reaction, I was just not expecting for this to happen”

“I’m sorry, I’m a bit worried about what the others would say—“

“The others? Honey, we all know you two are practically married. We just like to tease you to see if the truth would come out sooner. Took longer than expected” Chanelle spoke with a smile.

“Wait, everyone knows?” Youngseo asked while holding your hand.

“We talk about your chemistry a lot so you can call us your biggest YoungY/n fans. But the only thing we have to say is that you two should be careful especially since we have cameras everywhere. Last thing we want is for your debut spot to disappear when Korea finds out. You know how they are”

“Yes Unnie we’ll be super careful” Your girlfriend said.

“You two are cute together. Don’t lose that spark. I’ll go back now and you should too. Can’t keep them waiting” Chanelle winked before running off.

Youngseo pulled you into a back hug and took a whiff of your floral scented hair. “You feel better now?”

You leaned back into her long arms and sighed with content. “Absolutely. At least we can act normal around each other when the cameras are off”

“Oh for sure. Will be giving you all the kisses we’ve missed these past days”

“Come on, let’s buy the snacks now. I’m gonna pass out from starvation soon”

Youngseo pulled out her credit card. “Yes ma’am. We need to get Jiwoo Unnie’s chips too”

While the taller girl was inserting the card and buying the snacks, you leaned up to kiss her cheek. “Thanks again, Youngie. I love you”

“I love you more” She giggled and quickly kissed your lips before grabbing the packets of chips.
