On September 23rd 704 St Adamnan died.

Like many of these early Celtic saints, Adamnan was born of royal blood in County Donegal sometime around 624. His name means “Little Adam.”

Educated by local monks, he became a novice at the monastery of Iona. Eventually, when he was about 55, he rose to become the ninth abbot of the abbey at Iona. He must have been an outstanding leader, because he was also chosen to serve as “president” of all of the monasteries that had sprung out of the missionary work of St. Columba.

Adamnan is most famous for wtiting the life story of Columba. The book consists of 24 chapters filled with marvels and miracles as you would expect!

Adamnan was active in the politics of his day. He gave sanctuary to Prince Aldfrid when the throne of Northumbria, was in dispute. Later Aldfrid became king and Adamnan was able to negotiate the release of Irish captives who had been kidnapped by English pirates. When the Celtic church argued whether to switch to the Roman rule, Adamnan was a leader of the movement to go with the Roman Easter and other Roman practices. This upset fellow monks and he found his welcome at Iona considerably cooler and spent much of his time elsewhere.

He visited two of what is now England’s great monasteries, including Jarrow, where his contemporary, the historian, Bede, lived. Although at this time there was no England, or Scotland as we know it nowadays, Jarrow, in Northumberland was part of a Kingdom which reached the Firth of Forth.

On a visit to Ireland, Adamnan convinced the Irish to adopt the Roman date for Easter. Seven years before his death, he attended the council of Birra and convinced the Irish kings to adopt the principle, known as Adamnan’s Law, which said that women, children, monks and other non-combatants were to be spared during war and no longer taken prisoner. This law was reaffirmed many times afterward by Celt and Pictish rulers and is also known as the “Law of Innocents” However we know through many of my posts it was not laid down and many atrocities occurred during both wars of Scottish Independence.

Pics are St Adamnan's Bell at Glenlyon church, Perthshire, it is said to have been used by the saint, but has been dated at around 800 AD, too late to have been used by Adamnan of Iona and the Celtic, Adamnan's Cross standing stone, which is said to tmark the spot where he stood.

Gossip Star: 15 Pairs of Celebrities from the IMPULSE! Franchise that Fans Will Never Get Tired of Shipping

By Sienna Anne L.

If you’ve spent any time on the fandom side of the internet, you know just how popular shipping culture is. Ahead, we take a look at 15 fantasy celebrity couples from the IMPULSE! TV series we desperately wish were together. Most of these pairs are close friends, so with the right nudge, they could easily exit the friend zone and take their relationship to the next level. A few of these celebrities are already taken (R.I.P. our ships), but, hey, anything is possible. Check out who’s on our IMPULSE! celebrity-couples wish list ahead.

15.  Jane Durand & Antoine du Lapin

Although the pair were never a couple (despite the rumors), Durand has admitted that she thought the French rockstar was hot and that they made out several times while they prepared their collaboration single ‘Enfance 80’. In addition, Antoine has stated that Jane has helped him get through his breakup with his on-and-off partner Anika Reynaurd (who is rumored to be jealous of the close bond between the two singers). With the recent news that Jane and her now ex boyfriend, Jaehyun Jung from Kpop boyband NCT have broken up after less than a year of relationship, there have been rumors circulating that one of the people Jane is leaning on post-split is Antoine!

14. Tyler Lee & Maude Olivier

Olivier and Lee are two of music’s hottest pop sensations right now, so naturally, rumors would swirl that the two have dated. The singers first sparked rumors when Tyler featured on Maude’s summer hit ‘Señorita’.  Since then, they’ve appeared buddy-buddy together on social media and collaborated on more unreleased music. Though there are hundreds of fan accounts claiming they’ve been spotted together, Tyler has strongly denied any romance between them. “An item? No, we’re not” Lee told Elle Magazine. “We’re just really close friends. She is someone I met from a young age and still, to this day, is a good friend.” With how naturally they fit as musical partners, we hope they test out a romance.

13. Tara Lee & Enzo Saint Pierre

The two pop stars have spent much of their careers insisting that they’re just friends. However, since collaborating on the single ‘Lean on me’ on 2019, Tara and Enzo have vehemently denied dating rumors. When reports came out that the two have been secretly dating since the recording of their song and even went on secret vacations to the French Riviera, Tara clapped back on Instagram, claiming that she hasn’t gone on a vacation in years —let alone a secret one with her new beau. Of course, that hasn’t stopped the public from inquiring about their relationship. In a recent interview with Dazed & Confused,  Tara called Enzo ”literally one of her best friends.” The two have also gone holiday shopping together and frequently appear on each other’s social media. There’s no confirmation that their relationship is romantic, but as many know, some of the best relationships blossom from friendships.

12. Jane Durand & Daniel Choi

Jane and Daniel have acted together in the six seasons of IMPULSE!, so naturally, they’re pretty close. It’s no surprise the two are often questioned about their too-close-for-comfort relationship, but they always shut dating rumors down. In an interview with People, Choi was asked when he and Durand were “going to start dating” "Never,” he replied. “It’s just not the kind of relationship we haVe.” Though the two seem adamant in keeping their relationship platonic, fans can’t help but ship the two after watching their playful interactions. But like Jane said in an interview, "it’s never going to happen.” Sigh.

11. Arabella Black & Haechan Lee

Black and Lee might seem like a random pairing, but the two actually have been shipped by fans for years. The singers became close after shooting NCT’s music video for ‘Summer 127’ and have shown off their blossoming friendship ever since. Fans started shipping them after the pair started leaving flirty comments on each other’s social media accounts that despite meant to be jokes, stan Twitter took way too seriously. In an interview, Ara called Lee a “bad influence.” "He’s a good guy, but he is a little bit of a bad influence,” she said, assuring that they’re nothing but very good friends who like to joke around. Either Arabella and Haechan are the best at trolling or there’s something going on between them. Anyway, they’re one of our fantasy couples.

10. Johnny Suh & Mark Yang

Both singers are members of the beloved boy band NCT. Although it is universally known that all of NCT members are extremely close to each other, fans have noticed how tight the friendship is between Johnny and Mark. Hard-core NCT fans have theorized that the two are secretly in love with each other and have dubbed the supposed relationship as “Johnmark”. These fans have spent many years chronicling and analyzing every micro gesture and millisecond of every interaction between both celebrities.

As of recently, there’s been a strong Twitter debate about whether Mark and Johnny are still close, after a series of stills taken by a fansite showed the two bandmates having a heated argument backstage of the Green Planet Festival. In a recent interview for MTV, Johnny dodged a question about Mark and many have assumed that the hype surrounding ‘JohnMark’ has affected the way the bandmates interact with each other. However, Yang himself squashed the rumors on a recent Instagram live where he referred to Suh as his “best buddy”

9. Sungjae Lee & Daniel Choi

Since they made fans swoon with their brief onscreen romance on IMPULSE! the internet has been desperately wanting Sungjae and Daniel to get together in real life. During the show’s six-season run, the pair played Elijah and Nathaniel, respectively. The onscreen couple was an instant favorite.  

While fans debated whether Elijah should have ended up together with Nathaniel instead of Mia at the end of the franchise, many began shipping Choi and Lee to be a couple in real life.  Though their palpable onscreen chemistry could be chalked up to good acting, fans still think that there have to be some feelings between the two and hoped that the two transitioned their onscreen romance to offscreen.

8. Minah Delacroix & Julien Toubeau

To be honest, we go back and forth on who we want to see Minah with more: former flame and longtime bestie Julien Toubeau or bandmate and onscreen boyfriend Sungjae Lee. Honestly, she can’t do wrong with either. However, fans of this ship have pointed out how the pair have toured together even before Minah joined the cast of IMPULSE! having known each other since they were both young stars and offering a lot of support during the beginning stages of their careers.

Our hearts broke when Toubeau revealed in a documentary last November that the sparks between him and Minah, his former girlfriend, never faded. “I’ve never loved anybody like I loved Minah,” he said, explaining that they mutually decided to be just friends because of their busy schedules. On the other hand, Delacroix also got giggly when discussing whether her song ‘boyfriend’ is about her longtime friend during an appearance on the Night Night Show last year. Although there’s no updated confirmation on their relationship status, we just want them to be happy and in love (preferably with each other).

7. Johnny Suh & Tara Lee

This star duo has been a rumored couple for months, but after Tara’s recent Vogue interview fans have started to theorize about Johnny’s supposed social media hints about said relationship while simultaneously pointing out that Johnny and bandmate, Mark Lee, seem to have grown apart recently.

Fans have been wondering if the photographic proof surfacing last February, when the supposed lovebirds were caught strolling hand-in-hand down a Caribbean beach, is to blame for said fall out between the NCT boys. Maybe it’s the idea of having a love triangle between two band members and one of the most beloved girls of the generation, or maybe we just want to know the juicy deets on the pop stars’ secret outings? No matter the reason, we ship it.

6. Minah Delacroix & Jane Durand

In the conspiracy theory community, those of us who believe that Minah is secretly dating her former co-star, group mate and best friend Jane Durand identify as Jannah shippers. Most fans assume that Jane’s latest single, ‘Crave you’, that features Minah, is about her latest beau Jaehyun Jung. But those of us in the know —experts in the field, really— believe that her song is about a woman (Jane) dating a man (Jaehyun) while secretly being in love with another woman (Minah).

The rumor of their affair first gained speed after a series of blurry photos, allegedly showing the two girls making out at an Always Ascending concert, emerged. Though none of them ever addressed the issue, fans insist that you don’t have to look far into Minah’s or Jane’s social media accounts to conclude that the two could theoretically be dating. The pair seem to have spent the holidays together, which obviously means they’re engaged by now. (An alternative explanation is that they’re friends, which is boring and not really worth intellectual exploration).

While their deep friendship is definitely #friendshipgoals, fans are waiting for the day Minah and Jane will finally get together. If that happens, the internet will officially break.

5. Jane Durand & Gabriel Dubois

Jane and Gabriel have been close friends since they starred in the fifth season of IMPULSE! together. It’s been a while since the show came to an end, but they’re still as thick as thieves, and we think it’s about time they move their relationship out of the friend zone. Though Durand is besties with Gabriel’s cousin, Minah Delacroix, it doesn’t seem like there’s a girl code when it comes to dating family members. Plus, Jane has been dropping hints that there might be something more between her and the actor. It’s widely believed by fans that Jane’s solo debut song ‘fwb’ which alludes to two friends hooking up, is about Gabriel. Keep your eyes peeled because Jabriel could be a thing.

4. Emily Choi & Lucas Zhang:

These two celebrities have caused several storms on Twitter for their cozy body language and antics during interviews while promoting their collaboration hit ‘Best Part’.  Choi and Zhang would often get caught on camera while exchanging several friendly taps and touches. In addition, Lucas’ constant mentions of Emily on social media has caused fans to question whether they are just close friends or if they are now a couple.

Although Emily and Lucas met for the first time for the recording of their collaboration single, fans still shipped the two celebrities to be a romantic item way before their first meeting. Emily, who’s gathered a massive following through her Youtube channel has always been outspoken about her admiration for the musician. She didn’t bother hiding her excitement over receiving a video message from Lucas after she posted a cover of his song ‘Green Tea & Honey’. Shortly after the experience, Emily shared her priceless reaction on Instagram and she wouldn’t stop talking about how excited she was, further fueling fans’ fantasies.

3. Tara Lee & Mark Yang:

The two celebrities have had a complicated friendship and relationship since they first met in 2017. Romance rumors surged after Mark famously professed his love for Tara as he presented IMPULSE! with the Best Group Award at the 2018 MTV Music Video Awards.

In a recent interview with Vogue, the IMPULSE! vocalist revealed that the two aren’t friends at the moment, but aren’t enemies either. Meanwhile, NCT’s Golden Boy has been spotted on dates with other women (including Tara’s groupmate Minah Delacroix) and has recently been linked to Mindy Park. While Mark and Mindy aren’t officially a couple yet, it has been claimed that Mark isn’t ruling anything out romantically with her either. Though neither Mark nor Tara have stated publicly if they ever dated or not, TMark fans hope somewhere down the road that both will find their way together romantically.

2. Tyler Lee & Daniel Choi:

In real life, Tyler Lee and Daniel Choi are close friends and group mates in the pop group sensation IMPULSE!. The pair are not enemies like their on-screen characters in the IMPULSE! franchise: Nathaniel Park and Thomas Golding. In fact, the friendship between these two celebrities goes back to almost when production for the first IMPULSE season began.

The close friendship between Lee and Choi has left fans wondering if there something more between the two in real life. For starters, they have amazing onscreen chemistry, and if you’ve seen an interview with them, you know that their quick-witted banter is some of the best in the biz. Choi has also joked in the past about having a massive crush on Lee during the production of the first two IMPULSE! seasons. And though he later denied reports of a romantic relationship with his bandmate, when either of them posts anything of just them two hanging out, Twitter and Instagram are lit ablaze with fans commenting if the two celebrities are finally dating each other.

1. Minah Delcroix & Sungjae Lee

Out of all the celebrities that fans want to end up as a couple, probably the most shipped pair is that of Minah Delacroix and Sungjae Lee. Ever since the Grammy winners starred in the TV series IMPULSE! as Elijah and Mia respectively, fans and critics have praised both of their performances (Minah received an Emmy Nomination for her portrayal of Mia), and their chemistry.

Even years after IMPULSE! came to an end, Minah and Sungjae are still one of the most popular shipped celebrities in the industry. Minah has dated Julien Toubeau from rock band Always Ascending and has been linked to popular celebrities, including Mark Yang and Enzo Saint Pierre while Sungjae has been in a high profile relationship with Ashleigh Hastings. However, any interaction between the two now bandmates instantly lights up social media. Take their IMPULSE! days as an example, when they were an onscreen couple there was no stopping the relationship rumors. Fans of both Minah and Sungjae investigated every tiny detail, from the way she looked into his eyes during a press conference to how he emotionally sang the words “I can’t seem to let you go” during the series finale.

Now, with the release of their latest duet, ‘Death Bed’, fans are back at it again, wondering if he really couldn’t let her go. Much like fans did back in the day, they’ve been watching the music video on repeat, dissecting their every move — from the way she grabbed his hand to how he gently strokes her chin. And that’s just the beginning because after watching the music video, diehard fans will seek out additional proof, such as photos of the pair and fan spottings that might hint at more than just friendship.

From these pairs of celebrities that fans will never stop shipping, which one do you really want to see end up together? Be sure to let us know which of these pairings of celebrities down below in the comments section!

They are saying that Ji was reading when he said that he loves Ks, that it is just fanservice that he is an influence hunter. What are they so afraid of? Why does they want to ruin a ship so badly? Do they say it's fanservice? For that much concern. Should they be afraid that Kd is real? To try in any way to invalidate a ship.

Ridiculous to see most of them tried hard to destroy kd delulu theories than hype about k*tmark XD

Sublime & Silence

REBELDE AU

Word count: 5,3 k

Characters: Minah, Jane, Tara, Mark, Tyler, Daniel,

“Over the last couple of years, IMPULSE! has been making the headlines for quite stupid reasons. As the one-of-a-kind group they are, rumors run rampant about the members, their relationships and everything in between. They’ve been under the limelight, on the receiving end of so much love that is to be expected that they’re permanently subjected to the public scrutiny, with unfounded claims and hate being thrown at them left and right.”

In less than two weeks Minah Delacroix’s latest single, Sublime et silence, has become a chart-topping hit. Considering that the song is nothing like the signature sexy and upbeat tracks Minah’s fans have grown accustomed to, the hype around Sublime et Silence almost results ironic. Minah supposes she is meant to feel ecstatic about the success of her self-composed single, the praises she’s received from the critics and the positive reaction from the general public. Yet, it has almost become physically impossible for Minah to listen to her own song without feeling she’d collapse the very next second. It probably has a lot to do with the fact Minah almost met the same fate as Princess Diana when the car she was riding skidded off the road and crashed into a pillar at the entrance of the infamous Pont d’Alma or maybe it’s the guilt of having willfully ignored the problems surrounding her group and fleeing to Paris for a shopping spree with her cousin. Or maybe, —just maybe—, it is about Sungjae’s decision to leave the group that took the two of them, Tyler, Daniel, Jane and Tara to stardom on the very same day of the release of her song.

Minah is unsure if such a horrible streak of events is somewhat correlated at all, but she still avoids listening to Sublime et Silence as though the goddamned song was to blame for all the misfortunes in her life.

She’s been more or less fortunate enough to avoid hearing about it, but her luck seems to have finally worn off this morning as IMPULSE! (minus Sungjae) sit for breakfast at the kitchen counter in the girls’ apartment. The way the day begins is already prophetic. There’s no sunshine streaming through the window when Minah steps into the kitchen, causing her bandmates to immediately stop their conversation and look at her, eyes tainted with the slightest hint of concern. She brushes their unspoken concern off and distractedly repeats the weather report she heard on the TV before gathering the energy to get off the bed. It’s just a way to make conversation, to break the ice and divert the attention from any potentially hurtful news that will send her back to her room for the rest of the day, but if anything, her comment only seems to distress her groupmates even more if the way they all exchange furtive glances is anything to go by.

Breakfast is uneventful, although Minah thinks to herself that breakfast without Tyler and Daniel bickering or Jane throwing shady comments at Tyler is eventful on its own right. It’s only been two weeks, but Minah recalls the days where IMPULSE! couldn’t even sit at the same table without chaos escalating within minutes as though they happened in some sort of alternate universe that doesn’t exists anymore. Surprisingly, it’s become a new ritual for IMPULSE! to eat at least one of their meals together. No one has spoken about it and there’s ostensibly  no reason in particular for it to happen, but Minah knows It’s meant to be a silent way to support each other just like it is telling of how torn and broken each of them feels, holding onto a group that appears to be on the brink of disbandment.

Minah chooses to voluntarily shut down every thought about why they keep acting like if the leader of their group hadn’t just left —potentially for good— and instead nods her head eagerly when Tyler asks her if she wants a waffle covered by what he deems to be an unhealthy quantity of cream and chocolate syrup.

The bomb drops a few hours later while Minah reads a silly best seller lying on the carpeted floor of her room. She initially chooses to ignore the tweets, but her phone is flooded with notifications, and by the time she googles her group’s name and opens a trustful, serious, news outlet, the article about Sungjae’s departure from IMPULSE! has already reached a million hits. Minah skims the article with her heart racing and in the lamest attempt to control her reaction, she breaths in and out slowly allowing her lungs to fill and deflate.

If breathing techniques are truly effective to stop panic attacks, Minah must be doing it all wrong because if anything there are tears streaming down her face.

While Minah has a controlled meltdown in the privacy of her room, Daniel and Tyler find about the press release announcing Sungjae’s departure from IMPULSE! during an IG live. Tyler initially ignores the comments at the bottom of the screen thinking they’re some sort of ridiculous joke. Over time he’s learned to ignore the less than senseless questions his fans tend to ask or the lengths they’re willing to go to in order to “prank” them. However, once Tyler notices Daniel’s face dropping notoriously, he starts to believe there might be something else to this succession of messages asking them to elaborate on Sungjae’s withdrawal from IMPULSE!

A quick glance at the comment section explains Daniel’s reaction. The fans have gone from “Daniel visual king” and “Tyniel is the standard” to “You kicked Sungjae out of IMPULSE!” and “The five of you are trash” —translated to every language Tyler can identify and many others he doesn’t understand— in the blink of an eye. With his powerful self-preservation instinct Tyler is briefly tempted to cut the broadcast short although it’s only been a few minutes since Daniel and he went live. Of course, Tyler doesn’t. In its place, he reads a question out loud, smiling gleefully. Or at least pretending to.  

“What are some songs you’re listening to lately?” He repeats as he puts on a fake pensive expression and Daniel recomposes himself.

Faking for the cameras comes naturally now, so much that Tyler almost surprises himself when he goes on, looking absolutely unfazed by the news. In reality, though, there’s nothing to be surprised about. Over the last couple of years, IMPULSE! has been making the headlines for quite stupid reasons. As the one-of-a-kind group they are, rumors run rampant about the members, their relationships and everything in between. They’ve been under the limelight, on the receiving end of so much love that is to be expected that they’re permanently subjected to the public scrutiny, with unfounded claims and hate being thrown at them left and right.

Tyler himself is no stranger to scandal and controversy, he has lost count of the times the company had to do damage control on his behalf. All those times Tyler had been instructed to stay radio-silent until his fans and even the general public somewhat calmed down.  

He holds in a sigh reminding himself that he’s still broadcasting live.

‘This is not a first for Sungjae either’ The thought echoes in Tyler’s brain as he forces himself out of silence and goes on. “Well, there’s nothing really new… you know the usual-” he says as his eyes unintentionally divert to the comment section where a battle is unfolding. ‘Leave Tyniel out of this’, ‘If Sungjae left it’s probably his own decision’,  ‘he always does whatever tf he wants anyway’ fans write. “Minah’s song came out recently and we listen to it all the time,” Tyler speaks over his own increasingly jumbled out thoughts, pointing at Daniel and himself, which is a blatant lie because Daniel hates French language and Minah seems to hate her own song enough for her to go ballistic on him whenever he tries to play it.  “It is a beautiful song about-“

Tyler hasn’t figured out yet what the song is about because Minah, just like the French language is complicated and hard to understand.

He solves the dilemma by breaking into a rendition of Sublime et Silence that he encourages Daniel to join to with a wink. With the interaction displayed for the whole world to watch, there’s really no other option for Daniel than to join if he doesn’t want to wake up next morning to an article written on how he hates Minah and dissed her by refusing to sing her new hit.

And so Daniel sings along with gibberish French as he kicks Tyler on the shin under the table.

“Babe” a calm and self-assured voice calls out.

It takes Tara a second or two to realize she’s just dozed off while lounging on the blue velvet sofa of her boyfriend’s dorm and he’s currently standing in front of her looking gravely concerned.

“Your neck is gonna hurt later,” The young man says, the slightest bit of a disapproving grimace twisting his lips  “if you were this tired, you could’ve just told me and I would’ve dropped you home”  he adds as Tara’s face falls into a pout.

“Of course you would,” she says, eyebrows furrowing so deep, they leave a dent in the middle of her forehead even when she is done looking offended. “Just say you’d do anything to get rid off me” she adds, a somewhat bratty expression crossing her face. It makes her boyfriend chuckle as he flops onto the sofa, next to her.

“I was actually planning to ask you stay the night” He comments with a half-amused, half-serious, all-male grin. “Jaehyun and Yuta are gone, we have the apartment all for ourselves” the guy sneaks an arm around Tara’s waist, pulling her closer to press his lips on her cheek, leaving a trail of soft pecks until he’s leaving wet kisses on the back of her neck. Tara slowly pulls away, untangling his hands from her and turning to face him, eyebrows high.

“Seriously?” She huffs, much to her boyfriend’s bafflement. “Not now”

The man’s throat goes dry even before his eyes meet the severe glare Tara is throwing at him. The heavy makeup and glitter adorning her eyelids are a striking contrast from the swollen red eyes, rimmed with leftovers of eyeliner; but he has recollections of meeting the very same expression a few weeks ago when Tara burst into his room looking as though she could kill him with her own hands and claiming there was a high chance that she was pregnant with his child.

The guy has the bad sense to laugh lightly at the thought of it, but the smile fades as quickly as it appeared once his memory reminds him that Tara panicked and experienced a nervous breakdown of monumental proportions, causing Jaehyun and Yuta to flee downstairs, to hole up in Taeyong’s, Doyoung’s and Taeil’s apartment. It’s not a sight he wishes to see again. At least not anytime soon. Though he has to admit that the thought of a little girl with Tara’s pretty face and his eyes makes him feel inexplicably excited.

Tara seems to know exactly what’s on his mind because she frowns and shakes her head vigorously, slightly rolling eyes.

Yes, it’s probably too early to think about children’s names when they’ve barely figured out they want to be together. They’re still navigating through uncertainty and the unresolved issues regarding one of his bandmates, not to mention Tara’s concerns regarding her career and the future of her group. He knows that and he’s convinced that’s the reason why she’s currently frowning at him, but he still ignores those musings as he reaches to grab her hand.

“Just stay” he says with a sheepish smile “I promise I’ll beha-“ whatever the man is planning to say is interrupted by his phone going off, to which Tara reacts wearily, glaring at the device as though it had interrupted a particularly important moment.

The young man gently drops her hand on her lap and moves out the room to pick the call, looking visibly stressed and causing Tara’s expression to deflate.

There’s an egoistical thought invading her brain when she notices the way her boyfriend excuses himself and closes the door of his room behind him: not even the man she loves feels to belong to her. It almost seems that everything she “owns” could be stripped off her within a minute. Her boyfriend, her group, even her own career… anyone could reach out a hand and take everything away from her. Any time. At any moment.

Mark’s grave expression when he walks back into the room, holding out his phone to her, only proves Tara’s fears are anything but unfounded.

It’s lunchtime and Jane sits at her usual spot in M’s café. Despite the time slot, the place is surprisingly empty as the blonde woman stirs distractedly the glass of Irish coffee in front of her. Considering that as of recently the place has become a must-visit for hopeful and delusional IMPULSE! fans who expect to find their favorite artists sitting around and sipping coffee as though they weren’t on a tight schedule, it is almost ironic —as it is relieving— that they’re not around on this specific hour and day. Jane takes it as a sign to try and make a move on M, who’s obliviously placing crockery into the dishwasher as he hums along with the song playing in the background.

Not usually one to double think about her feelings, Jane follows M’s every move with something akin irritation. Since she got there, he’s barely spared her a glance. In fact, he seems far too worried about trivialities like the music playing as background to notice the new dress she’s picked exclusively to climb downstairs and pick coffee for Minah.

Some obscure part of her brain reminds Jane that she was supposed to be right back into her apartment, with Minah’s latte, nearly 30 minutes ago. It must have been the weight of her incoherent wanderings or the way she could distract herself looking at M’s wide back and toned arms for hours, but whatever the reason is, the realization makes Jane feel embarrassed of how utterly pathetic it is she’s spent so much time waiting for something, a cue maybe, from someone who usually looks this unaffected by her presence.

But perhaps that’s exactly what she likes about M.

Ever since her group skyrocketed to fame a few years back, all Jane ever receives are praises and the unwavering attention from the people around her. Although she has the good sense to tell apart hypocrite compliments from real appreciation, the love she receives sometimes blinds Jane judgement. The most recent example at hand being Jung Jaehyun and his ridiculously handsome face.

Jane can’t help but heave a sigh at the thought of her ex-boyfriend and the media frenzy that accompanied their breakup.

“You ok?” M asks over his shoulder, his eyes seem to purposely avoid Jane, but she still considers it a progress from flat-out ignoring her. “You don’t look particularly good today” he says, much to Jane’s dismay, though if she were to analyze his words further, she’d be overjoyed to find out he pays attention to her daily mood.

“What do you mean?” Jane says with the aplomb she’s gathered through the years of being a universally known public figure, eyebrows up as she straightens her back.

“I mean-“ M who’s now turned on his heel and is facing Jane hesitates before speaking again “I mean, you don’t look too happy” He says, clumsily touching his nape. “You look good, as always, don’t get me wrong, I’m just-“ His eyes widen as though he wasn’t supposed to say that, but he goes on anyhow “I mean, I was talking about your mood, you know, you look worried.” He adds so fast Jane’s brain can barely register his words.

“So I always look good?” She asks with a smirk crossing her lips. It’s almost comical how M’s mouth gapes automatically and his cheeks tint a light shade of pink. If Jane could read his mind, she’d understand the feeling of self-consciousness M is currently battling against because he can’t fathom that all she’s picked from what he said, is that specific one-liner.

“No. I mean- yes, but-“ The man lets out a soft sigh and leans over across the counter, so close that Jane can notice the blush on his cheeks and a tiny mole under his eyebrow she had not noticed before. “You’ve been staring at nothing for like 30 minutes. Your coffee must be frozen by now” he says pointing with the chin at the cup in front of her.

“I wasn’t staring at nothing” Jane fights back the exasperation. If the guy wasn’t as nearly oblivious as he is, he’d know she’s been checking him out and indulging in fantasies where he pushes her against that annoying counter separating them and kisses her until they’re both gasping for air. “I was looking at you”.

A soft gasp escapes past M’s lips while Jane mentally beats herself for admitting such an embarrassing detail and all that without the tiniest aid of alcohol because her Irish coffee remains untouched.

The first person to join Minah in the living room of the girls’ apartment is Tara. Unconditional as she is, she quietly sits beside her chewing on her lower lip and unable to pronounce a single word until her groupmate breaks the silence, looking away from her phone right into Tara’s eyes.

“I thought you were supposed to be on a date,” Minah says, purposely directing the conversation to a topic unrelated to the reason she’s currently clad in sweats and an oversized pair of glasses.

“Well, you see-“ Tara fixes the many bracelets adorning her wrists before shifting on the sofa to a more comfortable position. “Mark thought I’d rather be here” she admits shrugging, she’s about to add ‘with the group’, but the sunken look to Minah’s eyes stops her from adding another word “You see, it almost felt like he wanted to get rid of me, he picked a call and before I knew it he was calling a cab and well, here I am” Tara forces a bitter laugh and Minah reaches to pat her hand sympathetically, her eyes suddenly brimming with tears.

“You know, sometimes I wonder what would it be if we were just regular people” Minah confesses out of nowhere. “I like to think about it” as she forces a smile, a single tear rolls down her cheek, but she goes on “In an alternate world we’re all just normal people with normal people problems like making enough money to pay our students’ loans or maybe failing job interviews, but we are happy-”

Tara reaches to grab Minah’s hand, intertwining their fingers and offering the unspoken moral support she’s in need of.

“In an alternate world, Julien and I are the high school sweethearts that marry after finishing college and move to the suburbs.” Minah goes on, although it’s the very first time this scenario even comes to her mind. It’s another man who’s usually the protagonist of her fantasies in an alternate world where there are no other details than getting home daily to the man who truly owns her heart, the one who’s broken it way too many times as well. “He goes onto working at his grandparent’s company and I am one of those super pristine-looking women who dresses nicely and hosts charity events,” She says before adding “Jane’s there too, she’s the bohemian one who married Gabriel and gets drunk with white wine in all our family’s parties.” Minah makes a pause to chuckle and squeeze Tara’s hand reassuringly “You are there too” she says with a tiny smile “You’re the voice of reason” Tara is about to protest, but Minah goes on “Johnny is there too and��“ For the briefest moment Minah hesitates, but then she adds "you two are a match made in heaven, perfect for each other and the happiest of us all”.

“Minah-“ A flutter of panic makes Tara’s voice come off sharper than intended. She has no time to school her expression either because Minah goes on nonchalantly

“Apparently we’re meant to love the wrong people in this lifetime”

There is no sugarcoating and neither does Minah attempt to hide the intentions behind her words. It is evident that just like everybody else —Tara included—, she regards a possible reconciliation with Mark Yang as a massive mistake, to put it nicely. Tara is unsure if the events unfolding the previous days have something to do with Minah’s disapproval, but there’s something in equal parts comforting and painful in the way Minah offers a one-armed hug afterwards.

A second later the elevator doors slide open and half of IMPACT! spills out, chatting  —or arguing most likely— loudly. Minah lets go of Tara and shrinks in size,  pulling her legs up against her chest almost automatically and moving further from her bandmate, as though she were closing herself off to being comforted, as though she didn’t want the rest of her groupmates to notice the hoodie, the glasses or the puffy eyes.

It’s Tyler who spots the girls first and stops in his track, face softening before casting a glare at Daniel who just mentioned the dreaded S word in a sentence that didn’t make much sense to anybody else but had Jane nodding along energetically.

“Didn’t you have a recording session?” Tyler asks to his sister as they exchange knowing glances. “What are you even doing here?” he inquires, eyebrow slanting slightly upwards as his arms fold over his chest. It makes Tyler adopt a judgmental air.

Tara doesn’t roll eyes or dismisses her brother claims bored, like she does whenever her brother has something to say. Judging by the amount of staring and short silence that follow suit, it’s quite evident that the Lee siblings are having one of those silent conversations that usually end up with the pair leaving the room, with one of them —usually Tara—  looking quite reluctantly. Sometimes it’s hard for people to believe Tara and Tyler are related at all. Some other times —like this particular one— they almost seem to share a telepathic bond.

“I…hmmmm… I finished early” Tara shrugs, eyes diverting toward Jane and Daniel for a second.

“Or Mark did” Daniel grins quietly, earning himself a nasty glare from Tyler.

“You were not…” Tyler turns to look back at his sister with a frown, “right?” His lips morph into a disgusted pout,

“Of course not” Jane interrupts, stepping forward and pushing Tyler off her way. “Tara is a lot better than that” She says firmly as she sits next to the younger girl and places a coffee carrier in between them, eyeing Tara as though she could decipher her thoughts. “Yang and you are over for good, aren’t you?” Though Jane’s free spirited and easy going personality usually prevents her from snooping into her groupmates’ business, this time she looks frankly scandalized at the idea of Tara and Mark rekindling whatever it was they had, especially after the scare of the other day and how genuinely terrified Tara looked back then.

“That’s none of our business” Minah settles the conversation wrapping herself around Tara and petting her head as though she was still the little girl that could barely talk to them back when they started filming IMPULSE! and not the grown up woman she’s become over the years “And you better have an excuse for the hour long coffee pickup because the only plausible explanation now is that you were flirting with M and lost track of time” she says, accusation in her voice.

“Don’t remind me” Jane says huffing, the sound reveals that Minah’s theory is not entirely wrong. “To think I lost my time when I could’ve watched the season finale of Dix pour cent instead” Jane comments as she passes her best friend a cup of lukewarm chai latte.

“So Coffee Boy is still ignoring your advances?” Tyler chuckles as he sits on the coffee table, facing his sister and his other two bandmates.

“Don’t even mention that traitor” Jane’s words leave her mouth before she fully realizes she’s letting everybody know that M knew about Sungjae’s plans of leaving the group. She hurries to pick a cup and sip from it to stop more awkward words from tumbling out. However, judging by Tara and Minah’s expressions they’ve already figured out.

“Oh, please. Don’t punish the poor guy” Minah says, trying to force herself to sound casual, but failing “It’s not his fault Sungjae left” She adds with a shrug.

The silence that follows is deafening, but no one seems surprised that Minah is the one to bring up the reason they’re all sitting together, unnecessarily delaying the moment they finally acknowledge Sungjae is gone probably for good.

“I know, but he still could’ve given me a heads up, you know, out of loyalty to our…” Jane trails off, apparently unable to find a word to describe whatever it is the relationship she and the handsome barista have.

“And what would’ve you done? Tie him up so he didn’t leave?” Daniel scoffs, reminding everybody that he’s still standing there in the same spot.

“I know that’s been a fantasy of yours for years, but contrary to popular belief, you and I have completely differing taste and preferences” Jane replies, eyes rolling when she catches Tyler glaring at her. “But, no, I mean… we could’ve tried and talk some sense into him and if we failed I could’ve at least bid him goodbye with a punch in the face” She says with a wishful expression.

“Oh, please” Minah scoffs, exasperation dripping in her tone “We all know Sungjae. There was no use talking to him, he made a decision, he wanted to leave and he would’ve done it no matter the amount of talking.”  

The room falls quiet again, except for the vague sound of music playing from Minah’s room. No one really dares to break the silence right away so they sit avoiding each other’s eyes. Everybody shares the same unspoken questions, concerns, and unresolved feelings regarding Sungjae. It almost feels like yesterday Tyler, Daniel and Tara gathered to discuss his missing belongings and Jane panicked about what was she supposed to tell Minah once she’d returned from her press tour and noticed Sungjae was gone.

To this day nobody is even sure about what made him leave in the first place.

Of course, there was the little PR hell that Ashleigh’s supposed pregnancy caused, but it’s nothing they haven’t gone through before. The last 5 years have seen IMPACT  facing scandals with the poise and grace only a particularly gifted group of people could wield. It really makes no sense Sungjae has left a cause of it. It makes no sense he has left.

“Can you please stop? You’re making me anxious” Tara snaps at her brother out of the blue, pointing out how it is evident that Tyler is itching to say something, if his foot moving almost frantically is anything to go by.

“Well, I hate to be the one playing devil’s advocate, but do we even know if Sungjae left for real?” Tyler asks to the gaping faces of his bandmates who can’t seem to fathom Tyler Lee is not taking this opportunity to drag Sungjae through the mud.

“You have to be kidding, Lee” Jane scoffs, her confusion melting quickly into disbelief.

“Articles are everywhere” Minah reminds him wearily, as though she can’t quite believe she has to explain this to Tyler.

“He’s been gone nearly two weeks” Daniel adds logically, walking over to the group and flopping on the sofa next to Minah. “Hasn’t picked a single call either” Four pairs of eyes turn to look at Daniel at the same time, so he’s quick to add “I heard from Celeste” simply because he doesn’t want to admit that he’s been consistently calling Sungjae every day and leaving messages on his voicemail, just like everybody else. “The point is, we haven’t got any news from him.”

“But maybe he just needs a bit of time off? You know we’ve been traveling nonstop the last couple of months, he probably just wanted a break” Tara suggests, her voice impossibly hopeful even though she can notice Jane mouthing something that looked suspiciously like “oh, come on” accompanied by an eye roll.

“He could’ve called us, or you know, it literally takes a minute to send a message,” Daniel says with something that Tara believes is hurt in his voice, but no one else seems to notice.

“I hate that I agree with him,” Minah says nodding vigorously. “Can we all agree that Sungjae is leaving the group and now it’s just the five of us?” Her voice raises a bit as she says so and in the end, she blows out a deep breath that sounds in equal parts annoyed and regretful. “Or is any of you planning to leave next?” Minah lets out those words before she can even stop herself, but Jane is not surprised Minah is finally taking out all her frustrations on them.

“Seriously Minah, stop acting like we’re here because we love each other and want to be friends forever” if there’s a perfect moment for Daniel to remain silent, this is definitely the one, but he still chooses to speak “We’re not playing house, this is business,” He says crossing his arms over the chest “If Sungjae left, that’s definitely his problem to deal with. And just so you know I’ll leave whenever I want to.”

Tyler’s expression turns irritated on the spot. He chuckles bitterly “Oh, yes, of course you’d think that way because this team means nothing to you, doesn’t it?”

The way Daniel’s eyes turn practically murderous pushes Tara to step in before her brother ends up with a black eye or a broken nose that further add fuel to the rumors of IMPULSE!’s disbandment.

“Can we stop fighting, please? The last thing we need is to make this more complicated than it already is” She says, eyes blinking away the tears “I don’t know if you realize, but this is going to be a PR chaos and like it or not, we need to show a united front”

Minah doesn’t say anything, but her cheeks flush as she moves to look away and Jane mirrors her movements.

“For one thing should check with our agents if the company is preparing a statement or something” Tara goes on much to Daniel’s annoyance.

“I already talked to Chloe” Jane shrugs as she pronounces her sister’s name  “She’s been trying to talk to them since the bomb dropped, but they’re not picking her calls”

“And I talked to Celeste, but she knows nothing” Daniel chimes in “I think she was having a crisis when I called, so she said she’d call back” He says that with the faintest hint of a smile, as though the memory of Celeste going through PR panic was supposed to be a good one.

“I haven’t got news from Madame Moreau either” Tara adds, looking a bit glad everybody has stopped arguing.

“What about we wait till we hear from them then?” Tyler says.

“Ok”

“Ok”

“Fine then”

For a quick moment, they all exchange glances, facing each other awkwardly before looking away. Then their phones buzz and ping simultaneously announcing an incoming message.

The text is rudely brief and the instructions insufficient, but whether they acknowledge it or not Jane, Minah, Tyler, Daniel and Tara are all glad Sungjae’s withdrawal from IMPULSE! is nothing but some unconfirmed rumor started by a malicious gossip site that’s been after their neck since Tara and Sungjae called them out for writing lies about the group.

“Everybody” Minah suddenly exclaims from where she is curled on the sofa, she holds her phone up for everybody to see “How do we all feel about some damage control?”

The picture doesn’t make it to the group’s official account, but later that day when Minah goes to bed, eyes still puffed and clad in offensively unglamorous one-pice pjs, she looks fondly at the screen of her phone, where five faces smile back at her. She is convinced that whatever happens next she’ll never regret experiencing firsthand IMPULSE’s particular brand of chaos.
