fake it till it’s real [theo]

After kissing Theo whom you haven’t even met before, you don’t expect to become his fake girlfriend the next day, but falling for him seems inevitable nevertheless.

➳ Characters: instrumental band member!Theo x female!reader/you

➳ Genre: comedy, fluff, fake dating au, band au, uni au

➳ Words: 8.1k

➳ Warning: drinking, getting drunk, an ex who doesn’t understand no​

Waking up with a headache and feeling nauseous was bad enough.

Waking up in a place you had never been before was worse.

Waking up with a headache, feeling nauseous in a place you had never been before, facing a stranger when you sat up on the couch was the worst possible scenario that you could have imagined.

“Oh my gosh!” You blurted out, your hands flying to your mouth in astonishment. What were you doing in a total stranger’s place when it was bad enough that you had drunk a lot last night, and if you hadn’t dreamed kissing a certain burgundy-haired boy, then you had kissed a stranger, but still ended up at someone else’s place?

“Please, don’t freak out! I’m not God or Jesus, you’re not in heaven, you’re not dead, and we didn’t kidnap you. Any more questions?” The stranger - who had dyed hair too, a bit of silver, so definitely not as vivid as the boy you remembered from the night before - said in one breath, putting on a smile that salesmen put on when they were trying to sell you something.

You didn’t know how to feel about the fact that he had needed to point out that you weren’t kidnapped, but true enough, you weren’t tied to a chair or anything like that.

“Who are you?” You dared to ask as you were trying to blink the sleep - and confusion - out of your eyes. Gosh, sometimes you should really hold yourself back from drinking alcohol! Or at least, you should do it at home, not at a bar where anyone could see you.

“My name is Keeho,” he replied with the giddiest smile possible. At least, someone didn’t seem to find this situation super awkward unlike you.

“But I don’t remember seeing you yesterday.”

“Oh, you didn’t. I’m the best friend and flatmate of the guy you kissed last night,” he broke it down to you, and when he saw how you closed your eyes for a second at the mention of that kiss, cheeks flaring up, his lips curled into an annoying little smile. “Oh, so you remember…” He teased, and if the memories coming back weren’t already enough, he just needed to voice out the obvious.

However, you couldn’t just throw a pillow at him or something, so you bit down on your tongue, holding yourself back from saying anything. Keeho was either oblivious or didn’t care about your reaction, he merely leaned back into the chair that was pushed to the living room table that separated the two of you. It looked suspiciously similar to the chairs beside the dinner table, so you wondered whether someone had been watching you over while you had been sleeping.

“Spill the tea, girl! Taeyang wasn’t really helpful when I asked him what happened,” Keeho admitted, chattering casually as if it had been an everyday thing that someone like you had ended up in their flat after drinking too much and probably blacking out by the end of the night.

You didn’t let yourself dwell on it too much though, you were curious about something else instead.

“Was he really mad?”

“No, I wouldn’t say so. He wasn’t any more judgemental than he usually is,” the guy shrugged his shoulders, and you had no idea whether it was a good thing that his friend wasn’t any more judgemental than usual. No matter how judgemental he was, you didn’t know how to face him again. “Now, tell me. It’s just the two of us. He’s out getting groceries,” Keeho reassured you as he leaned forward, resting his elbows on his thighs.

If there was one thing that was more weird than ending up in the flat of the boy you had kissed the night before, it would definitely be telling his best friend/flatmate all about last night. Not that Keeho seemed weirded out, but that didn’t make you feel better. On the other hand, what could you lose though? You had probably lost some face already, there was nothing that could be worse than that, you assumed.

With a resigned sigh, you realised that you couldn’t be any more embarrassing than you had already been, so you started telling him about what had happened.

“So I have this ex, and he kept calling me last night, asking if I had time to meet him. Honestly, I’m kinda fed up with him, so I lied that I was busy. You see, he’s rather clingy…”

“Clingy or he doesn’t understand no? I think there’s a difference,” Keeho chirped in, a worrisome wrinkle stretching between his eyebrows. He seemed rather serious for someone who had seemed like the giddiest person on Earth a minute prior.

“I guess the latter,” you croaked out, not wanting to explain your complicated relationship with your ex. “So I went to this bar, hoping to forget about him, and your friend played there with his band, Seoul Serenade. They were pretty sick though,” you couldn’t help but comment, and Keeho looked like a proud mother with that ‘that’s my boy’ grin on his face. You shook your head, trying to get back to where you had left off even though your headache was killing you. “Anyways, so I was sitting by myself at the bar stool, but when I looked around, I saw my ex coming our way. My ex! So I didn’t really think too much, I just turned to the guy next to me, briefly recognising that it was the guy from the band, told him ‘i’m sorry, my ex is coming’ and I kissed him. And I don’t really remember the rest,” you admitted truthfully, letting out a long, guiltful sigh afterwards. Just what had you gotten yourself into? From one mess to another, you were truly something else.

You looked up at the silver-haired boy with a tentative look, but he didn’t seem that taken aback by the details. His following words explained it all though.

“Yeah, well, Taeyang said that you knocked yourself out by the end of the night. But he also said that the guy who asked him who he was and why were you kissing him was with another girl.”

“What?” You shrieked, trying to retrieve your memories from the night before, more specifically if you had noticed a girl by your ex’s side. You might not have paid too much attention to him since his presence had already been enough to trigger a flight or fight response in you, but could he have been with another girl for real? Then, why had he called you if he had already found a girl for the night?

Deep down, you knew the answer: because he was a piece of trash who only needed to flatter his ego with how many girls liked him.

yours truly, karma

Summary: You and Sunoo have been enemies ever since you met each other at a debate competition in freshman year. This year, it seems like you have no choice but to compete alongside him instead of against him. And so all hell breaks loose…

➳ Characters: high school senior!Sunoo x high school senior!reader/you

➳ Genre: fluff, comedy, enemies to lovers, debate club au, high school au

➳ Words: 8.5k

➳ Warning: hints of insecurity; reader and Sunoo hating each other in the beginning, so hate and its synonyms are being thrown around; reader denying any affectionate feelings until almost the very end + two mentions of feeling the need to puke (ironically) and a few uses of the word ‘asshole’

“Oh my gosh, no way!”

“Yeeees.”

“No, it can’t be possible!”

“I’m telling you, it IS possible.”

Your best friend, Shin Yuna, was nodding so fervently that you were afraid her head would fall off. Meanwhile, you couldn’t stop gaping like a fish out of water, trying to make sense of this situation. It just didn’t make sense. It really didn’t. 

“Couldn’t you have mistaken him for someone else?” You quirked an eyebrow, tentative, hoping that Yuna had actually just mistaken the boy for someone else.

“I’ve seen him with my own two eyes, okay? I put my contacts in today,” she justified matter-of-factly, letting out a huff as if you had hurt her by implying that she might have seen it wrong. You really wished she had seen it wrong because dear gosh, how could Kim Sunoo, out of all people, be at your school on the very first day of your senior year?

Kim Sunoo: your archnemesis, your worst enemy, your greatest nightmare… No matter how you wanted to put it, Kim Sunoo was someone you wished to avoid at all costs. Even if you were offered all the money in the world, you wouldn’t want to be in the same room with him. Okay, maybe, if it was about all the money in the world, you would, but still…

Kim Sunoo was someone you desperately wished to avoid, especially apart from the times you were forced to be around him either way. Every year since freshman year of high school, you had met him at the annual national high school debate competition because both your team and his team had made it to the finals. In freshman year, his team had won. In sophomore year, your team had won. Last year, his team had won. Now this year, you were desperately hoping to win with your team. Let’s just say that both of you were a bit too competitive for your own good, both during and outside of the competition when you were bickering to no end, and that had created a tiny bit of tension between you two. (And by tiny, you meant an enormous one.)

“Aaaaaaanyways,” Yuna broke the silence, snapping her fingers in front of your face to regain your attention. “Even if he’s at our school, it doesn’t necessarily mean that he will-”

She was cut off by the squeals around the classroom when the door opened and Mr Bang, your homeroom teacher, walked into the classroom. Not alone, but with someone else. And that someone else just so happened to be Kim Sunoo. He wore your school’s uniform and neat cotton pants, and he was holding onto the straps of his backpack while a giddy smile was playing on his lips.

“Oh my gosh, who is he?”

“Wow, he’s so handsome!”

“Do we have a new classmate?”

Such exclaims could be heard around the classroom, and you felt the need to puke when you saw how lovingly the girls looked at him. As if they were giving him the heart eyes already. If only they knew what kind of a person he was…

“Attention, please!” Mr Bang announced and knocked on the teacher’s desk a few times to quiet down the murmuring students. When everyone finally shut up about the newly arrived student who still looked as if he had been the happiest person on Earth to walk into your classroom, he continued. “We have a new student in our class from today. His name is Kim Sunoo, and he has recently moved from Suwon. Please, welcome him with open arms and a round of applause!”

A few girls started clapping a little too excitedly while some guys started hollering as if they had been watching a football match. You kind of had an idea why, but Hwang Intak just had to confirm it when he exclaimed:

“Yeah, finally! There are more boys than girls!” He shrieked as if he had won a round of his favourite game (a sight too common during breaks when he was immersed in his beloved phone). He boasted a boyish grin that didn’t fade even when Mr Bang warned him to keep his voice down.

Yuna glanced in your way, curious to see your reaction, but you averted your eyes from her face to the newly arrived student, only to catch him already staring at you. He seemed less surprised to see you there, but it wasn’t that weird considering that he knew the school you had come from, so if he was going to be transferred here, he might have already prepared himself for the big reunion. Unlike you who couldn’t believe your luck (or therefore lack of), and wished that he wouldn’t want to continue doing the one thing you loved the most, but-

“And he’s going to join the debate club, but I guess we don’t need to introduce him to you since I’ve heard his team won last year’s competition,” Mr Bang stated, and bamm, there, all hopes of not having to compete alongside him instead of against him lost.

You tore your gaze off the boy’s face, chewing on your lower lip to hold back the curse that was about to fall off your lips. No. You couldn’t lose your cool. The best thing you could do was to show him who was the bigger person here, and act all nonchalant. He deserved silent treatment at best. Yeah, it was best if you tried to ignore him as much as possible.

love lockdown

You were on the verge of a break-up with Seungyoun when a pandemic hit, and lockdown happened. It meant that you were actually on the verge of a cliff every single day, and there was no escape.

➳ Characters: Woodz/Seungyoun x reader/you

➳ Genre: angst, slice of life, established relationship

➳ Warning: mentions of depression and a pandemic

➳ Words: 5.6k

➳ A/N: There’s no specific setting for this story, and there’s no specific pandemic mentioned, so I’ll leave the details up to your own imagination. Click here to be added to the TAGLIST and to let me know about your fic preferences.

Seungyoun had always been the one you would walk through fire for, you would fight wars to protect him and keep him away from all the bad in the world, you would travel countries to see him again because you loved him so much, so deeply, so naturally that being beside him felt like breathing, and you felt suffocated whenever you were away from him.

He was the one for whom it didn’t feel like sacrifice when you put him first; when you would stay up late at night to make him lunch for the next day, so he wouldn’t live on takeout constantly; you would check on him despite being exhausted yourself because you knew he tended to stay out late at the studio to work on songs; you would cancel plans just to spend more time with him because being with him (the one who knew you better than anyone else) still meant more than being with anyone else; you kept your worries and problems to yourself, buried them deep under caring words and gentle acts when his depression was resurfacing, and he needed you more than ever.

He was always the one who meant the most to you, and if he had asked, you would have run away with him, no matter the destination, no matter the consequences. You would go with him without question.

Until you wouldn’t.

You loved each other deeply, intimately, unconditionally; two souls of the same heart, two flickers of the same flame, two galaxies colliding, complementing each other perfectly, the darkness and the light finding its perfect balance in the bodies of you two.

Until you weren’t.

You held each other’s hands through thick and thin, through your inner and external demons, through the cruel twists of fate, through loss and grief, through ups and downs of life.

Until you didn’t, and you didn’t know anymore how to reach out to hold each other’s hand, but you weren’t ready to let go yet.

And then, on the verge of a break-up, a pandemic happened, and you were stuck together under the same roof, doubt and uncertainty numbing your pain like the best pain killers would.

You were at work when you heard the news: the government shutting down the borders, the citizens asked to stay at home and avoid leaving their house if not for groceries or exercise, places where people from different households could mingle asked to close including the café where you worked. Everything in the matter of 24 hours. You never knew how little 24 hours could mean if it was about something so life-changing.

Somehow, you managed to keep yourself together throughout the rest of the day, but only because it didn’t feel real. This virus that had been such a distant phenomena so far had just turned your life upside down, and you could do nothing about it. You felt as if it was a stupid joke, and the next day, you would wake up and it would go away. It would all go away, and you could come back to this café, and serve the customers with a smile on your face as you had done so for the past years.

Instead, customers were panicking, employees were panicking, and your boss was making phone calls with the local government to ask about the sudden closure. You were sent home early, the place closing sooner that didn’t seem futile considering the lack of people who would come by after the news.

Yet, just as you were heading home, you realised that a different kind of chaos was waiting for you, and you weren’t sure that you could take it considering the consequences. You secretly hoped that Seungyoun wouldn’t be home, so that you could avoid seeing him first things first, but the world turned its back on you multiple times that day, and it didn’t go easy on you when you arrived at your shared flat with your boyfriend of 5 years.

Seungyoun was in the kitchen, nursing a cup of coffee when you made your way to the fridge, putting in the last two boxes of milk you could find at the store.

“Have you heard the news?”

He asked as if the world hadn’t turned upside down, and no one had been panicking, but maybe with him spending most of his time at his studio, secluded from the rest of the world, the news of lockdown was a rather recent event for him.

“Yeah,” you kept it brief, not finding it in yourself to pick a fight with him or pour your frustration onto him. The truth is: even if you had wanted to go elsewhere, you had nowhere else to go. Neither of you had. So even if you could feel a possible break-up looming over the two of you, you couldn’t run away from the place where it would probably happen. You were stuck there for god knows how long.

“What did they say at the café?” Seungyoun inquired, his voice raspy yet worrying.

“That they are going to try and figure things out,” just like you should have done so with him. It was killing you inside; the unsaid tension in the air. You could feel it clutching at your neck, squeezing your throat. “How about you?” You asked instead, busying yourself with making a cup of tea. You always preferred tea over coffee, just another difference between you and him.

“I’ll work from home. I’ve picked up my essential equipment, and I’m going to do it from here.” he replied almost monotonically, lacking any enthusiasm. Maybe he was merely trying to be sympathetic, knowing all too well that you - a waitress at a café - couldn’t possibly work from home, but you still felt bitterness twist your stomach. He was so lucky. 

“That’s good.”

“Yeah,” he added as if he didn’t want silence to cover the two of you, but his word was drowned by the sound of the water boiler anyway, and then you were left alone in the kitchen with a searing cup of tea and more questions than answers. You didn’t even know who could give you the answers you wanted. Probably no one. And you weren’t ready to face the truth, not yet.

That night, you slept on the couch in the living room, already thinking of using the excuse of sleeping through a movie you watched on TV (a bad habit of yours), and turning in as you turned the TV off.

picture perfect

➳ Characters: Heeseung x reader/you

➳ Genre: love alarm au (you don’t need to know the love alarm series to understand the plot), hurt comfort, angst, slice of life, fluff

➳ Words: 8.2k

➳ Warning: low self-esteem, pressuring parents, competitive school life, one mention of falling down because of dizziness and its resulting bruise

➳ Story playlist: picture perfect

➳ Taglist: @dat-town, @sweetjaemss, @hira127, @hyunjinswife​, @winterbeartaehyungbestboy​

“I’m sorry”, you want to scream, shout and throw a tantrum, but instead, you let him wrap his arms around you, and this time, you don’t protest. And he stays. Being weak beside him doesn’t mean he will leave, and for the first time since seeing him again, you realise why he still likes you.

He hasn’t given up on you, he accepted you with everything that you were and still does so, and that is enough for you to hold onto him as he’s hugging you. To really hold onto him.

Valentine’s Day.

Seems like such a cliché concept in today’s world with Love Alarm being around. When you can have an app that notifies you when someone within your 10 m radius likes you, why would you need a special day to celebrate love? One can receive so much more love each day (such as celebrities) than anyone throughout their entire lives, and if it hasn’t been apparent enough before, now with Love Alarm, the difference is exceptionally striking.

Sure, you know the feeling all too well. The pressure to download the app because everyone else has it and the foolish hope that maybe, just maybe someone who you might not have thought would like you actually likes you, your Love Alarm finally ringing when you two are close enough to each other. You know how you were the same deep down when you were younger; even though you were buried under school and stress and the pressure to do well as the youngest sibling, you were hoping.

Only to realise that you couldn’t like the one who rang your Love Alarm, and no one has ever rung it since then. You haven’t rung his Love Alarm then, and you haven’t rung anyone else’s since then either.

Ironically enough, you haven’t yet deleted the app either because this way, you can prove to yourself that you aren’t lovable enough, and that your heart is closed off, and no one can break through. Love is such an odd phenomena to you; even when you hear the all too familiar ringing sound on the streets, even when you see the ads based on people ringing each other’s alarms, even when you witness just how frequently your older sister’s Love Alarm rings whenever you walk down the streets with her, you feel like it’s the furthest thing from you when love is literally shoved up in your face even more these days than ever before.

You are fine this way though, and the sight of the pink and red balloons by the entrance of the bookstore and the countless heart-shaped decorations hung on the shelves don’t faze you either. Neither does the sound of a few alarms ringing around you, signalling how people around you like each other. You know what you need to pick up from the bookstore, and you know where to find it, so you make your way to the English section, standing by the shelf to scan through the books, holding your phone in your hand to keep checking the exact title of the book.

You don’t even pay much attention to your surroundings, but when you hear the ringing sound from your own phone, your breath is caught in your throat. You look down at the screen, confused, your heart making a silly little turn. Surely, there’s something wrong. The app must be malfunctioning. It can’t be that you meet someone at this bookstore, someone who knows you enough to like you, and they’re just close enough to you to ring your Love Alarm. There isn’t even anyone in this row who could-

Turning your head, you realise that there’s actually someone standing a few steps further from you, looking just as bewildered to see you here as you are. Maybe not just because of the fact that you’re here, but also how you’re here, between rows of books, being the only two students looking for a book.

Just like almost two years. At the library of your high school.

When he rang your Love Alarm, and you didn’t ring his back.

Lee Heeseung.

It takes Keeho some time and Taeyang’s advice - aka the voice of reason - to realise that he actually might be in love with you. As expected, he confesses in the most Keeho way possible.

➳ Characters: best friend!Keeho x reader/you

➳ Genre: fluff, comedy, best friends to lovers

➳ Words: 5.4k

➳ Taglist: @dat-town, @tranquilpetrichor​

➳ Check out: my masterlist for more stories

It takes Keeho some time and Taeyang’s advice - aka the voice of reason - to realise that he actually might be in love with you. As expected, he confesses in the most Keeho way possible.

You and Keeho have been best friends since day 1. Literally. Your mothers have given birth on the same day at the same hospital, and their hospital rooms were right beside the other’s, so once the rumour that two kids were born almost in the same minute got out, they were destined to meet and become best friends.

With your mothers being best friends, you two were playing together from the very beginning, so it’s no exaggeration when you tell people that you know Keeho ever since you can remember. Really. He’s always been in your memories as someone who was there, who was with you, and now you couldn’t even imagine your life without him and his random memes that he finds at 2am, song obsessions that he begs you to listen to until you finally give in, very unfortunate kitchen accidents (once he burned a tortilla that you asked him to look over while you were off to the bathroom) and just overall iconic moments. He probably started the trend of being the main character because he’s that kind of person, and you’re lucky that he has space in his heart for you (and a special one on top of that!) given how many people he meets and befriends.

You also vibe with his guy best friend (because you are the girl best friend or so he tells you so himself), a guy named Choi Taeyang, who’s also the same age as you (though not exactly the same day like you and Keeho). He’s a great guy and even though they share many similarities, you always find it hilarious when Taeyang gives him such disgusted or judgemental stares. Not that you don’t do so when Keeho can’t chill out for the love of God, but it’s always more fun when you see it from an outsider’s perspective.

You and Keeho also live relatively close to each other (a 20-minute walk is all it takes though you competed when you were younger who could beat the other’s record at running to the other’s house), so you went to the same elementary school, middle school and high school. Having him around has always been fun because even though you don’t hate people, you find it more difficult to socialise, yet having a social butterfly as your best friend guaranteed that you wouldn’t be alone, and soon enough, everyone in your neighbourhood knew who Yoon Keeho was, and that you two were best friends.

Then came university, and you were accepted into different ones, so you don’t meet each other every single day. Which is odd considering that you’ve done so probably for the last 20 years of your lives, but what can you do? You work it out either way, you still frequently meet up, have sleepovers and you never stop sending messages to each other, let it be at 1am crying over an assignment that you just can’t seem to finish because your rock singer neighbour is practising so loud that you can’t concentrate or in the middle of the day, asking the other if you had lunch already.

It’s the usual today as well, so once you discuss that you haven’t eaten lunch and you both have some time to spare before your next class, you decide to meet up halfway between your campuses for a good old Chinese stir-fry.

“Hey, bestie! How have you been?” Keeho literally crushes into the seat on the other side of the table, his beg reaching the ground with a loud thud. His hair is currently blue though it has been green, orange and burgundy before because it’s his way to show his mother that he remembers when she told him that he can only start dying his hair when entering university. Needless to say, Keeho hasn’t stopped dying his hair ever since.

“Been good, nothing much since the text I sent you about 20 minutes ago,” you chuchle at both his grand arrival and the giddy smile on his face. “How about you?”

“You know me. I could set a house on fire, but nothing happened on my way here, thanks for asking,” he emphasises as he runs a hand through his sky blue locks. You look at him fondly, happy to see him in person yet again.

You can’t have this moment to yourself because the waitress is already at your table, asking about your orders. It’s not like you need to think about it, you both go for your usual order, and chit-chat your way through the waiting for the steaming bowls of stir-fry. You talk about your classes and current assignments and weird neighbourhood stories, you get another list of song recommendations and recipes that he wants you to try out (because he would suck at it and he knows), and somewhere along the way you find yourself blurting out:

“There’s this guy in one of my classes and I have a feeling that he likes me.”

You want him to know because 1) he’s your best friend 2) he knows everything about you and you don’t want to leave this one out either 3) maybe, just maybe you have a crush on said best friend and want to see his reaction. On the other hand, you don’t think that he could be so casual about it even though Keeho is one of the most patient people you’ve ever met (he probably exhausts only himself at times).

“What’s the problem with that? Just give him a chance,” he shrugs as he chugs down the rest of his boba tea, and it takes you aback how unbothered he is. You wouldn’t be if he told you that he thinks a girl likes him at uni, but you guess it answers all your unasked questions.

“But I don’t like him, and I feel nothing beside him. I believe you just know if you like someone or there’s a chance you like them, but there’s nothing,” you add, picking at your napkin as if it could help to solve all your problems, but sadly, it doesn’t. It just makes you look pathetic, you assume.

“Well then, don’t. Just say that you have a boyfriend or something. I can cosplay as your boyfriend if he needs convincing,” he offers playfully, but you nearly choke on the rest of your mango juice. Thank god it’s only nearly because that would have been awkward, but you still feel like you croak out the words when you ask:

“How about you? There’s no girl around whom you might like?”

“Noooo. Nope.” Keeho looks so offended as if you asked him if he was the one who managed to punch through your wall at the age of 7 (you know it was your neighbour repairing some stuff, but he was the one who was beside the wall at that time). “How about you?”

You need a second (or maybe two) to pull yourself together before you can answer.

“Well, I guess not then,” you say as you forcefully raise your lips into a smile, but Keeho is busy hunting for the last few boba pearls from his bubble tea, and doesn’t look up to meet your disappointed stare.

You guess you just have to live with your one-sided love for your best friend until the end of your life.

Hello Lucie!!!!! Can I get 8,17, & 47 please! :D

8. What's your top 3 rappers?

well obviously it has to be youngjo and zuho and for the third one i'll go with verivery hoyoung, but honestly this top 3 has nothing to do with their ability to rap cuz i'm a really poor judge of it

17. Which kpop group/idol do you find the funniest?

can i cheat and say 2 groups? cuz i'm still obsessed with the ateez oneus weekly idol episode and i still think it's the funniest thing i ever watched and i really wish we could have more interaction between them because both of these groups are really fun, i mean ateez is just plain hilarious, i always have a blast watching them because these men are comedy kings, also oneus ?? seoho getting hit in the face by the ball he just kicked ?? keonhee ordering pizza in italy ?? keonhee in general is in my opinion the most hilarious man there is :))

47. Is there a group where you never skip a song of theirs?

as much as i like to say that oneus has a no skip discography - and it's true they don't have any bad songs - i do end up skipping songs when i'm not in the right mood for them, so yeah it's like that

hi! may i request for a scenario with verivery dongheon wherein he catches the reader crying? he thought it was something serious but it turns out they were just slicing onions ^^” thank you so much in advanced 🤍

melancholy tears of sadness ♥ dongheon

hi! no problem :) thank you so much for requesting!

genre: comedy, sarcastic humour, fluff word count: 426 words. (0.43k)

link to masterlist. click here to make a request!

he opened the door tentatively, already hearing the sobbing from the other side.

he had just gotten home from work, and though it was a stressful day, nothing that he had gone through would ever be as important as your wellbeing.

"hey." he whispered, looking deep into your milky eyes.

the sight of the tears pooling at the bottom of your eyes was enough to break him into pieces in that moment, but he kept himself strong for you.

looking back at him, you began to wipe your tears.

taking your hand in his, he began to rub his thumb over the palm of your hand and locked you into a tight embrace, hoping that it would make things better.

"what are you-" you began to say, but he cut you off.

"i know you may not want to talk about it, and that's totally fine. i just want you to know that i'm always here for you if you need anything. i love you so much and if anyone hurts you, i'd beat them up in a second. just say the word and i'll-"

"dongheon." you deadpanned, looking deep into his eyes.

"yes?" he responded, tilting his head in confusion.

"do you want to know the real reason i was crying?" you asked.

he nodded in response.

you grabbed his hand and told him to follow you, which he did.

he could already smell the deliciousness of the dish wafting in the air even before he entered the kitchen.

"smells so good." he said.

"thank you." you smiled at him.

uncovering the lid to the pan, you said, "i'm making stir-fry. i had to cut some onions."

he felt like a fool. all this time, he thought there was some deep problem that had affected you but you had just been... cooking?

"i am an idiot." he claimed.

you laughed in response, hitting his arm softly.

he always loved it when you did so, it made him feel so warm that he had made you that happy.

"it's okay baby, it was cute how much you cared."

both of you laughing this time, he asked, "can i help you cook?"

"sure." you responded and ruffled his hair.

smiling sweetly, he stared at you.

you were so beautiful, and you were all his. it felt unreal that he had managed to confess on that stormy day, getting both of you wet and sick in the process, but he wouldn't trade that moment for anything.

sheepishly he asked, "how can i help?"

and you gladly told him.

Hi there! Yeah, sure, I'm not that old, I just feel like it when kpop groups' members are all younger than me. 😅 A lot of my biases actually resemble Yeonjun (I don't know if you know about the MBTI personality types, but a lot of my biases are ENFPs like Yeonjun, so I see a pattern there...). But Soobin, oh boy, he's just so relatable, kind-hearted, precious and he takes such good care of the boys! 😌 Aaand you're not alone with that, Wooyoung, San (+Yunho) are my Ateez biases, so I feel you!❄

Oh my goooosh, girl, same! I changed my ringtone to Run Away too! *-* It holds a special place in my heart, mostly because I saw that Ateez x TXT video I've mentioned before in 2020 March when lockdown started in our country, so TXT was the group that I discovered during lockdown and I'm so thankful for that! Their songs gave me a lot of strength. 🥺 My favourite album is TDC: Eternity, closely followed by TCC: Fight or Escape. All TXT albums are smashing, but these two really stood out to me. ❄

I hope you got my second message because Tumblr didn't want to let me send it twice. :( Well, who knows? You can get to know that after the event. 🥰 I read Whisker Dimples last night and it was sooo cute and sooo funny, it was sooo like Beomgyu! I loved it a lot! 😍 That's right! We definitely learn as we go. 🥰 I've written a lot for BTS and EXO in the beginning, but now I write more about TXT, A.C.E, SF9, ONEUS, ATEEZ, ENHYPEN, GOLCHA, NCT, THE BOYZ, VERIVERY, VICTON, ASTRO, PENTAGON. 🥰

I definitely encourage you to write for Enhypen! I would love to read that. 😍 Oooh, such nice choices! So that means if I gift you a story for this event with one of your fav tropes and Beomgyu, would you be happy to receive it? *-* I love reading fantasy, mystery and dystopian stories, but I don't feel confident writing them. 🙈 I usually write lighter stories with hopeful messages or comedies. I also love cameos haha like Hybe boys mentions in a TXT story. ^^ Have a lovely weekend ahead! 🥰

I'll answer these all in one ask hehe, I fear I may be spamming the feed ^^ my answer to this ask will be under the read more <:

Omo there definitely is a pattern there! I, on the other hand, don't really have a pattern with my biases lol majority of my biases are either INFP like me hehe or just more on the introverted side 🧍‍♀️ though, Soobin, I agree, he's so precious!!! he's definitely climbing up my bias list too HAHAH I'm also still yet to get into ateez a little more, do you have any song recommendations? I've listened to deja vu and that's about it so far ^^ I have been listening to a lot more stray kidz though!! I really like their song Slump from when they performed it on One Take on yt! I started listening to stray kidz because of txt actually! I watched txt's live singing of crown and force~

no way!!! honestly, same though! I fell out of kpop for I think about 3-4 years, but I still listened to bts every now and then, I just wasn't up to date, but during May 2020 that's when eternally era arrived and my sister got me back into kpop with txt <: I agree though! TCC: FOE and TCC: Freeze have been my favourite playlists to listen to nowadays, especially dear sputnik and anti-romantic!

issokay I got it! tumblr can be a pain sometimes but hey ho,, and aweeeee thank you for reading whisker dimples 🥺 I really wanted to get beomgyu's goofy side since that's one of his personality traits that I love about him! I may not be able to make it as effortless as his but I still love it! oh wow! that's a lot of groups but that's also amazing ngl~ kudos to all writers who write for more than one or two groups, I shall definitely check out your stuff if I haven't already! I can't wait to see who you are after this event ends! I'm intrigued hehe

I think the only reason I'm hesitant to write for enha is because I really wanna read enough enha fics so I know I'm portraying each member correctly <: though, I have been with enhypen since the I-Land, so I shall try and test it out maybe!!

and of course! I'll appreciate anything I receive, honestly! but a fic with one of my fav tropes would definitely be something I'll cherish for a long time 🥺 but omg yes! I agree with fantasy and mystery, though I have not come across some dystopian fics now that I think about it, but I'm definitely open to reading that genre! But that's really nice! I love how you can incorporate that within your works because positivity and hopeful messages are definitely a need for everyone these days <3 I actually reading fics with cameos of other artists from a range of groups! It's nice to imagine their friendships because it's kinda sad and a little toxic how in the kpop industry they can't have girls and guys as friends because they'll assume otherwise :( ah well, that's what fiction is for! we'll go ham with our imagination hehe

have a wonderful weekend also! take care and we will talk again very soon!!

the right one

You don’t have a plus one for the prom-themed uni party you’re organising as a member of the student council, but Dongheon sets you up with Hoyoung who might actually become more than just a stranger who saves you from boredom during that night.

➳ Characters: uni student!Hoyoung x uni student!reader/you

➳ Genre: fluff, comedy, university au

➳ Words: 6.3k

➳ Warning: -

➳ Taglist: @dat-town​

➳  A/N: I don’t know about you, but Hoyoung radiates warmth and comfort to me, so here’s a really cute and comforting story for you all. I hope it brings you some joy. ❤️

Sometimes, you wish for nothing more than to just lie down, close your eyes and rest for about a few days before any duty calls you ever again. Obviously, you can’t do that when you’re in finals week, and you’re also in the last stage of the university party preparation that you - alongside the other student council members - would want to make as enjoyable as possible.

Thankfully, the head of the student council - Lee Dongheon - is as prompt as always, and as the Leadership and Management master student as he is, he manages the preparation to the best of his ability. That doesn’t mean that everything goes as smoothly as you’ve wanted to, starting from the fact that you had to go buy half of the decorations in person a day before because the party props company can’t deliver in time due to high demand, not to mention the DJ you’ve invited falling ill and having to find someone to take his place a few days ago and some other, mild mishaps along the way.

After a poll that you’ve sent out to all students, it was decided that the student council would organise a prom-themed party, so it would be a more formal event which students can dress up for, come together with their significant order or just enjoy themselves with their friends as their requested song is being played by the DJ.

Though for that to happen, you really need to be done with the decorations as fast as possible, so you should probably stop overcatastrophising everything and finally put on that garland that you’ve been holding in your hand for the past few minutes.

“Hey! Need some help with that?” As expected, Dongheon is right there in a second with a small ladder in one hand, pointing at the decoration in your hand.

“Oh, thanks. I think I’ll manage. I was just waiting for you to finish with that side, so that I could have the ladder.”

“Oh yeah, sure. Don’t want a petite girl to suffer without a ladder,” Dongheon teases like the jokester he is, but you can’t be mad at him even if you hold your hand up as if you were about to hit him in the shoulder.

“Not everyone is as much of a giant as you are,” you counter-attack, a light laugh escaping your lips as you two exchange a glance before Dongheon sets up the ladder, putting it close to the wall, so that you would have an easier time assembling the decoration.

“So, do you already have your plus one for the prom?” The head of the student council asks casually as he’s holding the ladder, so that it would stay secure while you’re standing on it.

“No. I don’t have a boyfriend,” you answer nonchalantly as you attach a set of garlands to the wall. You turn back to look at him, motioning to him to hold up another set of garlands for you, but he’s too busy whining.

“Oh, come on! You’ve really organised this whole party just for others to enjoy?”

“I’ll go with my friends, that’s fine,” you reassure him firmly because you really don’t mind not having a plus one even though Yerin would go with Minchan and Hari would probably leave your side 5 seconds into arrival because she’s on a lookout for hot single guys on campus. That’s fine though; you’ve organised this whole prom-themed party with couples and singles in mind, so you can just sip on your punch by the corner and monitor if everything’s going fine.

“Now, the garlands,” you emphasise, and Dongheon lets out a semi-exaggerated sigh before reaching into the nearby box and giving you another set of garlands while you’re moving with the ladder alongside the wall.

You - very wrongly - assume that he will just let it slide, but about a paper lantern and a star-shaped decoration later, he suddenly speaks up.

“I’ll get you a plus one. You’re in your second year, right?” He asks even though Dongheon knows such information about everyone in the student council like the back of his hand. He even knows your birthdays which is pretty nice of him because he always gets something small for everyone. On the flipside, when he’s upset or dissatisfied with something, no one dares to speak to him because he’s like a ticking time bomb. Though he’s nice most of the time, so it’s not that big of a deal (and he’s definitely not as scary as rumours make him out to be).

“Yeah.”

“Good. I have a friend in second year who probably doesn’t have a date either. He’s always too busy taking care of others instead of himself,” he chatters with a reprimanding edge to his tone as if it was something horrendous.

“Sounds a lot like you.”

“Hey! You don’t want to see the currently dying plants in my room, okay?” Dongheon replies in a semi-serious state, but you both find yourself smiling afterwards. You turn back to the wall to attach a paper heart and as you do so, you blurt out:

“You don’t have to do that though. I’m fine without a guy.”

“Weeell, but I’ve really wanted to set him up for some time, and he’s a great guy, I promise,” he mentions, and it’s like he’s justifying himself already, and he’s so dramatic about it - all puppy eyes and pouts and a disheartened tone - as if his life depended on it. Knowing him, he probably does have sleepless nights over not being able to set up one of his friends with anyone.

“Fiiiine,” you say and let out a long sigh, getting off the leader in the meantime. As you reach the ground, you turn to face the now-grinning Dongheon. “But only if he wants to do it himself.”

“He’s dying to come, I can confirm.”

And so that’s a deal. Two days before the actual prom, Dongheon gives you the guy’s number, so that you could message each other and find each other on the day of the party, but little do you know, that night turns out way more different than you would have imagined.

When the results of the poll came back, and it turned out that most students voted for a prom-themed uni party at the end of the spring semester, you didn’t think much of it. Yet, as you’re looking down at your plain dress and your flat-heeled shoes because there’s no way you would spend hours in high heels, you feel a bit out of place. This party doesn’t seem like somewhere you belong, and you start to get extra anxious as you’re waiting for your plus one by the noticeboard in the hallway (a convenient place to meet up because probably nobody waits here other than you).

Dongheon has told you that his friend - Bae Hoyoung - is a really nice guy, he’s kind and considerate and very loving towards his younger friends, so he thinks you couldn’t have ended up with a better plus one. You don’t know how much of it is exaggeration when he claims that Hoyoung is a real gentleman and a handsome one on top of that because Dongheon likes to exaggerate, but you let him be.

No matter how cool his friend is based on the texts you exchange before the party, you start to question why you’ve decided to give in even though your friends were so happy to hear that you were about to meet a boy. Though the chances were very low that you would end up keeping in touch with your plus one after the event because you’ve never been lucky with boys, so why would he be an exception?

No wonder you find yourself nibbling on your lower lip as you’re waiting for Hoyoung, both anxious and restless, but when he walks up to you in a gorgeous suit and casual Converse sneakers (they at least match the black and white colour of his pants and shirt), you become a bit speechless. Surely, you have seen his profile picture on Kakaotalk, but that doesn’t do justice to how tall he is in real life, and you certainly didn’t notice the cute moles dotting his face on that picture as opposed to now. Even his smile is light like a feather, and the way the wrinkles around his eyes deepen when he’s smiling makes your heart take a silly little turn.

“Hey!” He greets you in a friendly manner, coming to a halt beside you. He’s towering above you a bit, but it’s not in an intimidating way, so you don’t feel uncomfortable.

“Hi!” You greet him back, feeling a bit silly over checking him out from head to toe a moment ago. What can you do though? His profile picture isn’t a full-body one. In fact, half of the picture isn’t even him but a white furball, probably his dog, so you could only see his face in the photo.

“Sorry about the shoes. I forgot that I don’t have dress shoes with me in the dorms,” he apologises immediately as he’s looking down at his pair of Converse.

“Oh, it’s totally fine. Don’t worry about it! It’s not like I dressed up as if I came to a real prom.”

“You look pretty,” he blurts out casually, but your lips part in bewilderment because you didn’t see such a comment coming so soon, and you need to remind yourself to function properly. You end up mumbling something akin to a thanks, and prompt you two to step inside the gym hall where the party takes place.

It turns out that the gym hall is packed with people, so much that you feel like you step on someone’s shoes every second as you’re trying to get closer to the centre of it with Hoyoung by your side. Which is great because it means you didn’t work for nothing, but it also means that you have a hard time finding any spot where you can dance without worrying about bumping into someone’s back or chest, and even when you do, it’s almost impossible to keep up a conversation because the music is so loud.

You dance for a bit though without saying a word, but it gets a bit awkward just smiling at each other and trying to move left and right without smacking someone, and you can feel that Hoyoung is thinking the same. You didn’t really come here just to dance, you aren’t even that good at it, but it’s impossible to do anything else because of the loud music.

“Don’t you want to-” You start saying, leaning closer to him, so that he could hear what you say, and he’s doing the same, so your faces are only inches apart. You blink rapidly, gulping down the nervous knot in your throat, trying not to pay too much attention to his beautiful, warm orbs that remind you of fall: of colourful leaves creating a carpet under your feet, of a cup of warm tea on a chilly night, of the smell of summer parting and a new season coming up and the bittersweet feeling of the cycle of nature moving forwards.

Your breath hitches in your throat for a moment because he does have beautiful eyes, and it’s hard to look away because they are like a magnet, but you’re saved by the boy’s question, his hot breath fanning over your neck as he’s leaning towards your ear.

“Should we go outside?” He asks with a raised voice, trying to speak over the volume of the currently blasted song.

You nod immediately, then turn around to leave the dance floor. As you’re doing so, you check back from time to time to see if Hoyoung’s still following you and you haven’t lost him in the meantime, and the third time you do so, you end up colliding with someone. You and the stranger both apologise, so you can move on, but you feel Hoyoung’s fingers over your wrist, giving it a slight pressure, his eyes asking if you’re okay when you look at him.

You try to reassure him with a bob of your head and a friendly smile, and thankfully, there are no further mishaps as you’re making your way outside of the hall. You just get to the corridor when you catch sight of Dongheon checking something on his phone while walking towards the doors of the gym hall. He only looks up when Hoyoung says hi, but when he does, boy, he’s grinning.

“Hey, you two! Is everything alright?”

“Apart from the music causing us ear damage?” Hoyoung replies immediately, his tone semi-playful. Dongheon’s smile falters a bit but only a tiny bit.

“Oh no! I’ve told the dude to keep the volume at a decent level,” he shakes his head in disapproval, and you can already foresee the master student’s first to-do when he gets inside the gym hall. “Anyways, where are you going?” He quirks an eyebrow, curious, and it’s you this time who answers him.

“Just somewhere where we can talk, I guess?” You say, a bit uncertain, sending a side-glance in Hoyoung’s direction who reassuringly smiles back at you. You immediately find yourself mirroring his action, and it may be because of this or the fact that you two are leaving the main party to have a conversation, but the head of the student council is more than delighted either way.

“Ooooh, you’re talking now!” He wiggles his eyebrows at you as if it could mean anything. “That’s great! Well, have fun!” He wishes with a wide grin, and as he’s walking past you two, he pats Hoyoung’s shoulder. You furrow your eyebrows, look at the boy beside you, and giggle when you see his reaction.

“He’s just weird,” he mentions as if that could explain anything, but even his lips curl upwards. Considering how Dongheon has said that he has wanted to set up his friend with someone for a long time now, you can guess why he might be like an excited parent who sends his kids off to school, realising how much they’ve grown up, but you try to tell yourself that it’s nothing like that. You would just merely prefer talking somewhere quiet instead of being smacked every second by someone around you and completely not hearing the other because the DJ is too loud.

“Soooo… should we walk in the park beside campus or…” Your voice trails off by the end, and you expectantly look at the pitch-black haired boy beside you, hoping that he might help you out.

“Yeah, that’s a good idea.” He nods, smiling, and it’s really adorable how his eyes become little crescents when he does so, his dimples deepening. You’ve always had a thing for dimples, and you can’t help but smile widely at him when his dimples literally pop out. You need to remind yourself not to stare too much at him, so you focus on your steps instead, looking ahead of you as you’re making your way to the nearby park.

The park which you’ve agreed on is only a few-minute walk from the main building of your campus, and given the later hour and the fact that the students who want to be at school right now are in the gym hall, not a lot of people roam around in the park. While it’s not prohibited for non-students to enter it, the majority of people are still students. No wonder why because it’s such a picturesque sight with the little lake in the middle of it with some ducks, the colourfully painted benches and the vividly green grass where groups can have lovely picnics in the shade of the magnificent oak trees.

“I love coming here, especially during exam season. It seems like such a different world from campus even though it’s so close. It’s good to clear your mind sometimes like this,” Hoyoung muses out loud, and you don’t even think twice before you say:

“Exactly! I totally feel the same way,” you mention enthusiastically, and you immediately feel so silly for sounding so pumped up even though the boy beside you is nothing but kind. He might look intimidating to others with his elegantly parted, pitch-black hair, the sharpness of his jawline and his mature features, but when he smiles, his whole face lights up, and his voice is full of life when he speaks.

“So Dongheon has said that you two work together in the student council.”

“Oh yeah. We know each other from there,” you bob your head, remembering back to the first time you met him, and how he has helped you with a lot of academic-stuff, especially when you just joined the council in your first year. “I’ve thought that he’s a really strict and stern guy, but it couldn’t have been further from the truth,” you admit with a little giggle that the boy simply mirrors.

“I can see why. Even when he has his neutral face, he looks a bit intimidating, but really, he’s just a big baby. Sometimes I feel like I’m the older one out of the two of us,” Hoyoung laughs a joyous laughter, and you join him, letting the early summer night carry the sound of your laughter around the park.

You let silence cover you for some time, but it’s not embarrassing or awkward. It’s more than comforting, actually. Yet, now that you’ve brought up Dongheon who has actually set you two up, you can’t help but ask:

“Why is he so obsessed with setting you up?”

“That’s a good question.” Hoyoung chuckles. “He’s just like ‘oh, Hoyoung, dude, you deserve a girl, I’ll get you one’ because he thinks I spend too much time helping others when in fact I think I just do things because they are the bare minimum?” He mimics Dongheon’s tone and it’s so hilarious, you laugh out loud. Then, he goes on to explain that it might be because he’s learned how to help others because he has 5 siblings, so he knows the importance of assisting others without being directly asked to. It makes sense, but at the same time, you’re truly in awe, and you’re sure that he’s a great brother himself.

However, as you talk about your families and non-existent love life that Dongheon likes to point out, you have a question on your mind, and you decide to blurt it out in the end:

“Do you feel like you need someone in your life?”

“Well, that’s a complex question,” the boy starts with a tilt of his head, contemplating.

“Says the Sociology major, I see,” you mention, and gosh, when have you turned playful? Hoyoung doesn’t mind though, in fact, he gives you a dimpled smile before his features smoothen out and his tone becomes more serious.

“I don’t really feel like there’s this void that needs to be filled with someone’s presence, you know?” He looks at you for confirmation, and you nod. “I believe that a romantic relationship should be about having someone to rely on, having someone you can take care of and feeling safe and comfortable beside them instead of feeling like they are your whole world, so when they may leave, your whole world shatters. It may sound egoistic but I feel this way, and for that reason, I don’t feel like I’m missing someone from my life, but it’s not that I would object if I fell in love.”

His words are mature and articulate, and you don’t know why, but you get surprised by how aware he is of his own feelings. You know how in today’s society, you’re almost being looked down on if you don’t have a significant other because it might indicate that you aren’t good enough, and a lot of people actively look for love because of that. There’s nothing wrong with looking for love, but just like the boy has said, you aren’t of the same opinion as others.

“No, no, that’s something I can relate to. I mean…” You decide to put in your two cents whilst you’re at it, but you need a few more seconds to put together your reasoning. “I’ve had crushes in the past, but my crushes never liked me back, and if I had let the rejections get to me, I would have felt really unlovable and probably would still do so. So I also think that preserving your autonomy while still being open to let someone in is what’s probably the healthiest option for me.”

You believe in love, you really do, but your experience has proven to you that you’re good the way you are, and you shouldn’t let others’ lack of romantic feelings towards you change anything about your self-worth. Especially because you can’t force feelings onto someone, you know that all too well.

“It’s not your fault that they didn’t like you back. The right one will do so,” Hoyoung adds gently, and you feel your heart thaw at his words. When you look him in the eyes, you can see the small version of the moon reflecting in his deep, dark orbs, and you think it’s beautiful; how he shines like sunshine with the moon in his eyes.

“It got deep pretty quickly, didn’t it?” The boy chuckles, breaking the precious moment, but you don’t even mind because you’re sure your feelings are written all over your face, so you’re glad when you can talk about topics other than love.

As you continue your stroll, accompanied by the slight buzz of the party and the sounds of the city that never sleeps, you end up talking about why you have joined the student council and stories regarding Dongheon and his student council duties, Hoyoung calling his friend out, saying that Dongheon usually calls him to vent to him when something goes wrong. Then, you also talk about your majors, why you’ve chosen them, whether you like them or not and what your favourite classes are this semester, and it’s lovely listening to someone who’s so curious and intellectual and able to share his opinion without putting down the other’s.

When you reach the lake, you stop for a while and sit down on a bench, and your heart yet again skips a beat when Hoyoung covers your legs with his suit jacket. Gosh, Dongheon was actually right about him being a real gentleman and taking extra care of others! Still, the gesture makes you blush really hard, so you’re glad that the nearby lamp posts radiate only dim lights because you wouldn’t want the boy to see your burgundy face.

Yet, getting away from the party means getting away from the food and drinks, so since you’ve already walked further from the gym hall, you don’t go back for that, you opt for a café on campus instead. While waiting for your sandwiches and drinks and while eating, you continue talking about common topics, but with him, even those seem special because he’s actually interested in your answer, and ready to share his opinion. It’s not a forced small talk you’re so terrible at, it’s actually an active conversation, and you have a hard time believing that you can feel this way around someone even if you’ve met him for the first time.

No wonder you feel the need to express your gratitude towards the boy when you finish your dinner and head to the dorms together.

“Well, I’ve really enjoyed today. I think our kind of prom was better than the actual one.”

“I promise I won’t tell Dongheon that you’ve said this,” Hoyoung jokes, making you laugh, and it’s such a lovely way to end this lovely night. You don’t have high hopes or anything of the sort for whatever that is between you and the boy, but your smile is genuine when later on, you wave him goodbye as you’re heading towards your room, and you know well that you wouldn’t have traded your kind of prom for anything else.

Dongheon might not have heard what you’ve said about the prom, but he has sure heard that you had a good time with his friend (from both Hoyoung and you), so he casually sends some so-called boyfriend material photos of his friend over to you one day without any explanation, and when you ask him why, he merely sends a shrugging emoji. You guess that he hasn’t been subtle to his friend either because Hoyoung ends up messaging you a few hours later, telling you not to take Dongheon seriously no matter what he says about him or what he sends.

“He just sent me some ‘boyfriend material’ photos of you. Wanna see them?”

“I’m going to strangle him one day, but sure.”

So you send him those pictures, mainly of him sipping on something at a café while looking out of the window dreamily, walking down the street in a puffy coat and a scarf, wearing an oversized hoodie with the hood over his head and holding a painting in his hands as if he was trying to show it off. Along the way, he ends up telling you stories that are related to the pictures, you even get to know that he painted that landscape in his hands, it was actually a painting workshop with an instructor during last semester, and when Dongheon asked what he did over the weekend, and he told the older boy about it, he was very keen on seeing the final product, so he sent the pic over to him.

“I didn’t think that he would keep them. :(”

“Now you know. Better be careful from now on.”

You type and send him an emoji where one of the Kakaotalk characters pat the other on the back, and you get a hugging emoji in return, and you’re so shocked that for a moment, you completely freeze.

“Oh, my bad, that was by accident. I’ve wanted to send this one.”

He replies a few seconds later with an emoji that’s bowing and thank you is written over its head. You tell him that he shouldn’t worry, but you need some serious amount of time to calm down your nerves.

It’s fun though, things fall back into normal afterwards, and actually, it’s not even that weird talking to the boy yet again. It almost seems natural, and since you two are both busy university students finishing finals, it’s not like you’re bombarding each other with messages. Yet, you can’t deny that you get an instant serotonin boost whenever you see that he has messaged you, and soon enough, your friends start teasing you about it. Yerin is being her kindest self as always, telling you just how much you would deserve a guy who likes you back while Hari starts moping that Dongheon should set her up with someone if he has so many single friends because he needs a boyfriend ASAP.

You tell them that it’s not like that, you’re just getting to know each other, but it seems awfully like a crush yet again, especially when summer break comes, and you two keep messaging each other. When the fall semester comes, you can’t wait to see him face-to-face, so when you manage to bump into him in the hallway or he lands Dongheon something in the student council office and you’re there, you feel like a silly high school student yet again, fanning over her first crush.

Then, he asks if you could take part in a project he’s doing for one of his classes and he needs to have interviews with students on how their childhood experiences shaped the way they feel towards socialising as they grow older, and in return, he treats you to a thank you lunch a few days later. After that, you lose track of the times you meet up, let it be for a quick lunch break between classes, studying together in the library or just randomly bumping into him in the hallway.

While getting to know each other through messages, random meet-ups and sometimes Dongheon’s intervening, you feel yourself falling for him more and more. You can’t help it, but this time, instead of falling head first, it seems like you’re falling gradually, and you don’t know which one is scarier. So you just let it be, enjoying your time beside the boy until you’re sure of his feelings towards you, and as time goes by, you’re less and less scared of falling.

With you two staying in contact over the weeks and all throughout the fall semester, it’s no surprise that Hoyoung knows when you take your exams, but you wish he didn’t remember so well when you feel under the weather after taking one of your exams, sitting on the top of the service stairs that not so many people frequent. That’s exactly what you need right now, and even when he messages you, asking about the exam and you tell him that you might have failed it, you don’t expect him to actually show up when he asks where you are.

There he is though, standing in front of you, eyes shining with worry as he’s looking back at you. You look down at your shoes instead, not ready to mope or vent to him. You see from the corner of your eyes when he moves towards you and sits down beside you, letting out a long sigh.

“What do you do when you want to cheer yourself up?”

“I watch funny videos sometimes,” you mumble under your breath, but you don’t feel like doing so now. You feel the need to cry, but no tears come out. Maybe it’s because you’re also partly angry, not just disappointed.

“Well…” He grits through his teeth as he’s thinking. “I’ll show you something better,” he announces, determined, as he reaches into the pocket of his hoodie, taking his phone out. You turn your head to look at him, slightly curious despite your state, and when he glances sideways and catches your eyes on him, his lips curl up a bit.

He turns back to his phone though and taps a few times on the screen before sitting closer to you and placing his phone in between you two, so that you could see what it is about. You immediately feel your features softening up when you catch sight of the fluffball on the screen.

“My sister said that she was trying to teach Deulle a trick, but it didn’t quite work out,” Hoyoung explains, smiling, as the video shows his sister’s dog going in circles around a small object that it’s supposed to jump over. The female voice in the video practically begs the dog to just jump, but instead, Deulle stops, staring at its owner, blinking frequently as if it doesn’t understand what’s going on. It’s going on for a few more times with the dog almost jumping over the object once, but in the end, it just decides to lie down on the grass, completely exhausted.

By the end of the video, there’s an evident smile in the corner of your lips, and seeing that, Hoyoung’s shoulders drop in ease.

“You’re too nice,” you blurt out, touched by the way he came over to cheer you up despite him having an exam a bit later. “You’re too good for me,” you admit, letting the words slip without thinking twice. It’s true though; ever since you’ve met him, you feel like you don’t deserve him, and in moments like this, you feel it even more intensively.

“Don’t say that,” the boy objects immediately, turning towards you with his whole body. Since he has scooted closer to you, so that you could look at his phone from up close, you two are pretty close to each other, but instead of intimidating, his closeness makes you feel comforted. To know that he’s just an arm length away. “You’ve also been there for me every time I was down in the past few months. It’s what people do when they care about each other,” he explains as if it was something so easy to say out loud, but he seems sincere nevertheless.

You don’t say anything, your heart is too burdened for that, so you just keep looking at him. He scoots a bit closer to you, slowly and gently, leaning closer to look you in the eyes. You feel bashful under his stare, but you don’t dare to look away.

“What is it about?” Hoyoung asks gently, his words barely a whisper. With no one around you since you’re sitting on the staircase leading up to the staff room, you feel like this moment is yours only. Something so precious yet so fragile, something that could easily break into tiny little pieces in a matter of seconds. “Do you feel this way because you might have failed your test, and you think you could appear less of a good person to me because of that?”

“I-” You start to protest, but you can’t find the right words to say. You look away, frustrated over not being able to put your feelings into words, but when you look back at him, he’s looking at you as patient as ever. “I think I just feel like… you know, there must have been something wrong with me, some flaws why people I liked in the past didn’t like me back, and I guess, I don’t know… It just crossed my mind that maybe one day you would see that too because I do that. When one thing goes wrong, I overcatastrophise and feel that everything could go wrong and I just… Gosh, that’s why I like being alone at times like this,” you rumble on and on, and by the end, you feel yourself tearing up, and you feel so pathetic, it’s not how you’ve expected this day to go.

You sniffle as you look away from him, not being able to bear his ever so warm eyes. You hate being vulnerable beside others, and it’s not like failing a test is a really big thing. Sure, it might be your first time failing an exam, but there are people out there with bigger problems, and you feel like a fraud mopping over your life in comparison to that. Plus, just as you’ve said, when this happens, suddenly you feel like a failure, someone who can’t do anything, who’s not worth anything, and a lot of times, a good cry helps to soothe your nerves, but you don’t want to cry in front of him. You don’t want to appear silly and overly emotional.

“I could bring up some theories and tell you how what you’re feeling is completely fine because I guess that’s what a Sociology major should do,” he interrupts your guilt tripping train of thoughts, and it works, you’re so surprised by his words that you find yourself completely frozen, the tears not coming out. He really has a way to shift the mood with his words, and you’re both in awe and in shock. “Let me tell you instead that if someone doesn’t like you because you’re flawed just as we all are, then you’re better off without them. It won’t stop me from liking you though.”

Now you’re even more surprised than before, and your eyes must be super wide when you turn your head towards him because his facial expression turns from stern to gentle instead. He looks away for a bit, scratching the back of his neck a bit sheepishly before looking back at you, ruffling his hair afterwards. You’ve noticed that he tends to do something with his hands when he gets nervous, and he’s trying to busy his hands today too, and you wonder just how much it must have taken him to say those words out loud. This time, it’s not the moon you see in his eyes but your own tiny reflection, and you also wonder how he really sees you.

“I’m being sincere,” he adds quietly yet confidently. He gulps once before he continues, and you can literally feel the same kind of nervousness he does, your heart threatening to jump out of your rib cage, so expectant and so giddy. “I like you, and I was trying to tell you for some time, but I guess I’ve waited for the right time, and this is definitely not the right time, not even the right place,” he points out sheepishly as he looks around once, and it’s so true, you find a small giggle bubbling up in your throat. He follows, and gosh, it’s so awkward yet it’s so right. You wouldn’t have had it another way.

“Thank you,” you say as you crush him into a hug, feeling bold and confident and all that. You aren’t even sure that it’s you anymore, but he has just confessed that he likes you! He actually likes you. “Thank you for liking me back,” you mumble into his neck as you’re hugging him, and you can feel his arms coming up to your back, closing his arms around you, tight and safe, comforting and warm as if he was trying to whisper it’s all okay, he’s right there with you.

Even though you could only hope that he would be right when he said that the right one would like you back, now you know that he wasn’t lying. Let you be silly or overly emotional, he doesn’t seem to care. If anything, his love towards you just grows even more.

Because he’s the right one for you. Now you know.

A/N: I hope you all enjoyed this rather fluffy and comforting story as much as I’ve enjoyed writing it! *-*

super funny

found the plot very original

you’ll want to hate a charecter but you won’t

there’s (a kind of) reincarnation involved

based on a webtoon named July Found By Chance by Moo Ryu that you can read HERE

SYNOPSIS

As everyone knows, every prestigious highschool has their own Popular Guys Squad, and this high school has A3, which is formed by Oh Nam-Joo (Kim YoungDae), the leader, Baek Kyung (Lee JaeWook) and Lee DoHwa (Jung GunJoo). Girls want to date them and boys want to befriend them. Eun DanHo (Kim HyeYoon) is Baek Kyung fiancé, but it seems as it is a one-sided love since Baek Kyung can’t stand her.

Eun DanOh suffers from a heart disease, and when she experiences some short-term memory loss and seems as she can see the future, she confuses them as some of her syndromes. But they aren’t.

Little does she know the future she thinks she sees is in fact the storyboard of the comic their whole life is. Not only that, she also discovers she is not the main character of the comic but an extra.

The main plot of the comic is one of many clichés: poor girl – Yeo JooDa gets a scholarship to the most prestigious high school and the hot popular guy Oh NamJoo, who doesn’t care about girls, falls for her, but she is not that into him. And as always, there’s also another popular guy who likes her (love triangle enters the room), who is nicer to her, but as every cliché story, you just know they won’t end up together.

Eun DanOh’s only purpose on the comic, as an extra, is to be the one who always defies Oh NamJoo to support Yeo JooDa. But when she learns that the author has planned her heart disease to be terminal, she’ll do anything to change it.  And it may involve falling in love with who she wants and not who the writer tells her to.

OST

I liked its OST. I was always singing along. It really suits the drama and is really sweet. Here are my favourites:

My beauty by VERIVERY 

A Never Ending Story By Stray Kids

(pls don’t miis their live performance) 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Dk-27B5Uzg

You can listen to its OST on Spotify HERE

REVIEW

I watched the show while it was being aired and I DON’T KNOW HOW I SURVIVED NOT BEING ABLE TO WATCH IT ALL AT ONCE!

(from now on there will be spoilers)

Eun DanOh is the highlight of the whole drama. She is pure energy. Far from being that weak girl who needs a saviour and is crying all the time, she really will do anything to change her set-up. Moreover, as nobody seems to remember what actually happens between scenes whatsoever, she will start dancing and singing in the corridors, even mocking people and stamping a statue on the floor tearing it apart. She is energetic and charismatic, completely different from what the author portraits her.

What I also liked about this drama is that the main characters of the comic aren’t the main characters of the drama. And yes, bit cliché, but each story – comic and drama – has its own love triangle.

Those who gain self-awareness make fun of all the clichés the author is drawing and are really tired of them all. They might be in scene saying their lines and when it ends, the ones that are self-aware burst out laughing at how absurd the situation is.

THE UNEXPECTED HAPPENS AND THOSE CHARACTERS YOU DIDN’T EVEN THOUGHT COULD GAIN SELF-AWEARNESS, DO. It enables the show to explore even more both worlds, and you can really relate to the characters trying to figure out who they really are.

As it is all the world of a comic, there are a lot of scenes when a sudden music or spotlight appears to add dramatism, which only those who know the truth can see, which makes the scene even more ridiculous.

There is a really beautiful friendship between Eun DanOh, Haru and Lee DoHwa. And at the last episodes, I really felt sorry for Baek Kyung and part of me wanted him to be with Eun DanOh.

The cast was soooo cool. I really liked their acting even though they are rookies. I previously watched Kim HyeYoon on SKY Castle and was really amazed at how different both characters are. She did a really good job on both dramas.

I have enjoyed this drama so much that I have started reading the Webtoon. I don’t know if there are any major changes on the plot but I am enjoying it so far.

I give this Kdrama an 8/10.

My TOP 10 Favorite K-Drama (part 1)

This is really a difficult question to answer, tbh...

(ini tulisan kedua ku btw, maapin kalo kurang “nendang”. yang pertama keapus soalnya, nyebelin emang)

Haha, dipikir-pikir lagi aku gak mungkin pilih satu drama dari semua drama yang udah kutonton dari tahun 2014 sampai sekarang, kan? Gak ada ketentuan harus satu juga kan, jadi aku bakal netepin 10 Drama paling favorit (dari 60 judul drama KOREA yang ada di hard disk dan laptop ku).

Disclaimer, aku menetapkan list ini berdasarkan beberapa hal, kalo ada yang ngerasa gak sesuai, silakan bikin list sendiri. Wk. pertama bakal aku tetapin berdasarkan genre paling favorit aku,  yaitu Fantasy dan Romantic-Comedy (jadi buat melodrama dan drama berat lainnya, goodbye. Sorry, that kind of drama is not my cup of tea) . Ini seenggaknya karena udah khusus drama korea, aku bisa lebih spesifik lagi dari banyaknya drama asia yang aku tau, haha.  Tadinya mau lima aja, tapi pas ngeliat lagi 60-an judul yang aku punya, 5 itu GAK MUNGKIN, jadilah 10. Wkwkwk. 

Trus pertimbangan aku  yang lain adalah plot cerita yang bagus. Plot cerita disini tuh, mencakup alurnya kecepatannya pas, 3 menit pertamanya WAW, kontinuitas antar episode bagus, penokohannya solid dan yang paling penting: HAPPY ENDING. Perasaan pas nulis pertama tadi ada satu lagi deh, apa ya… oke, tambahan deh,aspek sinematik juga bisa dibilang aku masukin pertimbangan. Kayak transisi kamera mulus, CG bagus, dan latar tempat kece juga masuk itungan ya.

AAAKKK. AKU LUPA MASUKIN ASPEK OST NYA!!! setelah nulis panjang-panjang baru inget aku juga termasuk yang merhatiin ost dan background music suatu drama. So, i’m not surprise to see all the drama in the list has THE BEST OST EVER. Buckled up, guys.

Ah, aku  gak masukin dramanya Shin-PD karena drama-dramanya beliau tuh masuknya genre Slice of Life. Lagian dramanya beliau mah aslinya masuk GOD-TIER ya, itu masuknya nomor 0 aja deh. Kalo aku harus bikin list drama-drama slice of life favorit, bisa deh aku masukin.

Oke, kepanjangan dah, prolognya, langsung aja, ini dia..

SO, HERE IS MY TOP10 FAVORITE DRAMA :

10. Extraordinary You (2019)

Posternya aja unyu banget kan. Iya, yang poster nya gelap gulita cuman wajah serius pemainnya itu bukan favoritku emang. Ini drama paling baru dari 10 drama yang ada di list ini btw.

Drama yang diadaptasi dari webtoon ini nyeritain ttg Eun Dan Oh, siswi sekolah bagus, anak orang kaya, punya tunangan ganteng, supel dan ceria juga, tapi punya penyakit jantung. Walaupun penyakitan, Dan Oh menjalani hari-hari dengan bahagia. Trus dengan banyaknya cogan-cogan di sekeliling dia (nama gengnya A3, punya background music nya sendiri kalo muncul), dia pun mikir, dia PASTI seorang tokoh utama, yang nantinya berakhir dengan salah satu cogan-cogan keren tadi.

Sampai suatu hari dia ditampar kenyataan kalo dia cuman tokoh EXTRA. Tokoh figuran yang muncul cuman buat jadi “jembatan cinta” nya tokoh utama cewek dan tokoh utama cowok. Wkwkwkwk. Dan selama ini, dunia yang dia tinggali adalah dunia komik, dimana mereka bertindak dan berperilaku sesuai keinginan penulisnya.

Udah mah tokoh pendukung doang, muncul di pojokan juga cuman kalo tokoh utama butuh, penyakitan pula. Dengan penyakit jantungnya yang suka kambuh mendadak itu, hidup Dan Oh pun diramalkan gak akan bertahan lama. Jelas Dan Oh gak terima dan berusaha sekuat tenaga buat ngerubah nasib dia.

Gimana perjuangan Dan Oh yang mau bergerak buat ngerubah nasib ini menurutku adalah pesan utama drama ini. 

Mau lo cuman extra yang ordinary, lo tetep bisa jadi orang yang extraordinary buat seseorang. 

AW, DID I JUST MAKE A SPOILER FOR THIS DRAMA?? Sorry.

Okey, balik lagi. Yang aku paling suka dari drama ini adalah vibes komiknya yang gak ilang. Mulai dari penggambaran story board nya komik lengkap dengan backsound suara membalik lembaran buku komik, trus efek-efek lebay di komik lainnya. Tau kan efek bunga-bunga bermekaran di sekeliling tokoh utama di komik? Percayalah adegan mendebarkan di komik itu aslinya cringe abis. Atau efek gimana pemeran utama dapet pencahayaannya sendiri, dan dapet efek-efek cring-cring sendiri. Adegan-adegan kayak gitu digambarkan kocak banget lah, pokoknya. Wkwkwk.

Aku sendiri udah lama gak nonton drama sekolah karena mulai gak relate sama kehidupan pelajar (ceilah). Tapi drama ini angin segar banget lah pokoknya buat genre school-life romance. Dosis komedi dan romatis nya pas (walaupun pas episode akhir-akhir emang cringey abis sih).

Pemilihan cast nya drama ini juga patut diacungi jempol. Aku aja nonton drama ini awalnya cuman karena ini drama pertama Kim Hye Yoon (yang aktingnya brilian pake banget di SKY Castle) jadi tokoh utama. Aku inget banget aku udah ngecek halaman asianwiki nya drama ini dari semenjak Kim Hye Yoon nerima tawaran jadi pemeran utamanya. Dan aktor/aktris lainnya yang ada di drama ini tuh semuanya nama baru di dunia per-drakoran. Minimal baru pada main di webdrama youtube gitu dah. Tapi dengan new face nya ini jadi kekuatan juga ternyata. Karena ganteng-ganteng coy, yang main… bibit-bibit aktor/aktris berbakat masa depan lah, pokoknya. Pada menang award juga deh di MBC drama awards tahun lalu.

Walaupun di episode 10 emang ceritanya mulai agak ngaco karena kayaknya fokus sama fanservice buat Oh-Haru shipper, dan (kata orang-orang di forum) ada banyak pertanyaan yang gak kejawab.  Buat aku fine fine aja sih. Seenggaknya pesannya dapet. Dan lagi kalo fantasy gini emang enak akunya tinggal ngejawab pertanyaan-pertanyaan yang ada pake : anything could happen. It’s fantasy drama.

OST yang paling aku suka dari drama ini adalah OST part. 2 nya, VERIVERY_My Beauty. Aku inget banget aku on repeat lagu ini kayaknya setiap hari setengah jam ada deh. Sesuka itu sama OST satu ini. Cocok banget buat dijadiin ending song nya juga. Genre aku juga sih, agak band-band gitu, namanya juga buat drama sekolahan kan. Harus yang ceria-ceria energetik gitu dong. OST yang lain juga gak kalah bagus.  Ah, Stray Kids juga pertama kali ngisi OST (dipikir-pikir mungkin buat VERIVERY juga pertama kali, dan APRIL  juga. hahahahaha, aku males searching nya, anggep aja gitu lah ya...) di drama ini. Stray Kids nyanyi OST sedih  buat adegan sedih, trus pas banget sama kepergian salah satu member, gimana gak makin berkesan coba?? 

Yah, pokoknya buat yang penasaran gimana Dan Oh menjalani hari-harinya dengan rencana “tidak akan mengikuti keinginan penulis begitu saja” silakan nonton sendiri. Yang penasaran itu di poster/foto di atas ganteng banget siapa sih?? Buat tau itu juga, silakan tonton sendiri. Buat yang sering banget terjebak second lead syndrome, silakan nonton ini juga (banyak yang udah kena soalnya..), Wkwkwkwk.

9. Healer (2014-2015)

Drama ini adalah drama pertama yang mengenalkan ku pada Ji Chang Wook (dalam drama action), dan bisa dibilang membentuk standar gimana harusnya drama action-romance di kepala aku. Drama ini aku masukin ke genre fantasy juga karena, karakternya Ji Chang Wook (si Healer) itu dreaaamy bangeeeeettt.. gak mungkin ada di dunia nyata lah.

Healer disini bukan kayak healer di game yang tugasnya jadi kayak medik gitu ya. Hmmm… kalo aku ceritain lengkap healer itu apa jatohnya spoiler tapi.. wkwkwk. 

Intinya Healer disini adalah seorang individu yang “kerja serabutan” di bidang spionase (?) 

Apa ya, bahasanya, bukan mata-mata sih dia, tapi setipe itu lah.  Kebanyakan kerjaan dia adalah jadi kurir atau nyediain informasi buat siapapun yang mau bayar lebih. Keahlian dia legend banget sampe-sampe satu agensi  yang menawarkan jasa bodyguard gitu pun gak bisa menandingi kecerdikan si Healer ini. Dibalik skill bertarungnya yang kece badai itu, si Healer punya satu cita-cita: nabung sebanyak-banyak nya biar bisa beli pulau. Mantap!!

Disisi lain, si tokoh utama cewek kita, Chae Young Shin (yang main Park Min Young),  adalah seorang reporter agensi berita kecil. Cewek ini nge fans sama wartawan keren Kim Moon Ho (yang main Yeo Ji Tae) dan bercita-cita jadi sekeren dia,  walaupun kalo dibandingin, lebih nge fans sama si Healer sih, dan berharap suatu hari bisa ketemu si Healer ini. Si Mas-mas wartawan keren a.k.a Kim Moon Ho nya sendiri juga punya keinginan penting lain, yaitu: menemukan “anak itu”. Demi menemukan anak itu, Kim Moon Ho pake jasa nya si Healer. NAH LOH.

Konflik di drama ini disusunnya rapih banget menurutku. Penokohannya juga solid pake banget. setiap orang yang ada di drama ini punya cerita latar belakang nya masing-masing. Topik kekeluargaan, persahabatan, romantisnya hubungan tokoh utama, relasi satu sama lain nya disajikan dengan apik juga.  Ah, episode nya juga ada 20 coy, jadi puas lah nontonnya. 

Wah, diliat-liat lagi sekarang, ini rating masih kisaran 8%-9% dibilang jelek, untung gak dipotong. Tahun-tahun sekarang ini rating drama bisa jeblok ampe 1% dan langsung dipotong jumlah episode nya, deh (masih dendam A Piece of Your Mind dipotong 4 episode --dari 16 jadi 12 episode--).

Paling kerennya sih mungkin aktingnya Ji Chang Wook kali, ya. Menjadi Healer yang sebelas-duabelas jobdesc nya sama mata-mata tuh bener-bener bikin Ji Chang Wook harus jadi banyak orang. Belom lagi adegan-adegan actionnya yang keren-keren banget. drama actionnya Ji Chang Wook cuman ini sama The K2 ya, jadi puas-puasin lah pelototin dua ini. Karena abis dua drama ini, Ji  Chang Wook gak main drama action lagi. Kalo kepo akting kerennya Ji Chang Wook kek mana.. silakan ditonton sendiriiiii~~

aku sendiri pas drama ini tayang bener-bener ngikutin segitunya. sampe aku tulisin di diary, berarti emang semabok itu dan sesuka itu sama drama ini. hahahaha.. Inget banget nge save gambar-gambarnya langsung dari tumblr atau twitter bahkan googling langsung.

OST favorit aku di drama ini tuh.... hemmm, yang paling membekas sih ada 2. OST part.1 nya aja yang ngisi Band luar negeri, Michael Learn To Rock, yang judulnya Eternal Love. Lagunya bagus banget serius. Coba deh, dengerin.. Inget banget waktu denger pertama kali langsung kaget denger lagu full bahasa Inggris di drama korea. wkwkwkwk..

OST lainnya itu yang BEN_You. Lagu ini berkesan banget karena dipake di semua adegan so sweet nya tokoh utama, wkkwkwk.. Terutama yang pas scene Chae Young Shin ngejenguk si cowoknya trus.... (silakan liat sendiri, gak seru kalo aku ceritain semuanya. hahaha)

Hampir lupa, sebenernya peran Ahjumma di drama ini juga penting. kalo gak ada Ahjumma ini, mungkin plotnya akan hambar. Fashion statement nya konsisten banget cuy, selalu ada tengkoraknya. Dan aku juga inget, ini drama PPL Handphone nya bukan Samsung kayak drama lain, tapi LG. Lucu deh, hapenya..bikin mupeng waktu nonton dulu, tuh.

Konflik drama ini aslinya mumet, gak bisa diceritain semuanya. Pokoknya semuanya berhubungan. setelah liat gambaran besarnya sih, jadinya sederhana. tapi yang nulis naskah pinter banget ngeputer-puter ceritanya. ini udah 20 episode tapi aku liat di asianwiki tadi masih ada yang ngerasa “kecepetan”. Hemm, bisa dimengerti, aku juga susah move-on kok dari drama ini. Emang susah move-on dari drama bagus, tuh. haha

oke, udah kepanjangan postingnya. lanjut part 2 yaaaaa
