heyy ari!!
i hope you're having a splendid and enjoyable day today. wanted to ask a very important question‼️
what are your five current favorite songs and/or artists?
very curious to see your favs!!
- 🍒
HI 🍒 ANON !! it’s nice to meet u!! this is a great question…. i’m gonna b honest though when it comes to music i. kinda live under a rock? 😭 i didn’t even start thinking abt my favorite artists until a couple years ago… so that’s. a thing.
i can never keep track of my favorite songs but i do have a couple artists i love that come to mind!! :33 so!! in no particular order……
1/ yorushika
actually i lied yorushika is in fact my number one always and forever if yorushika has a million fans i’m one of them if yorushika has one fan that’s me if yorushika has no fans that means i am no longer on this earth. yorushika is a jpop/jrock band consisting of n-buna (songwriter/musician) and suis (vocalist) and they mean the whole galaxy to me their lyrics are so insanely good i use them for writing inspo all the time and in general they’re just?? so good??? their songs always feel so bittersweet and nostalgic and the instrumentals are soo incredible…. this is my favorite band of all time they fr changed my life i highly recommend checking out any of their songs/albums bc they have literally never missed. I Fucking Love Yorushika.
my favorite songs of theirs are blooming in that summer / hachigatsu, bou, tsukiakari / replicant !! :3 i have a million other favs but i’ll leave it at that..
2/ the front bottoms
i love these guys so bad i do….. i actually know literally nothing abt the band itself but i adore their songs and just. how scratchy and cool the vocalist’s voice is!! idk i’m not good at explaining it i just love their songs sm!! :’3 they have a very specific vibe to them that i can’t pinpoint but it does make me feel like a rabid dog so there’s that <33 if u have any form of daddy issues i’m sure u’ll love them (they’re also EXTREMELY stsg coded hello…)
my favorite songs of theirs are be nice to me / father / funny you should ask !! :3
3/ mitski
we all saw it coming let’s be real i don’t know a single queer jjk fan who doesn’t love mitski we literally owe her everything? jokes aside it actually took me some time to warm up to her songs, at first i only loved her lyrics but eventually i saw The Light. her songs have this specific melancholic vibe that i’ve never found in anything else and i eat it up every single time ….. i adore her instrumentals and her voice and obv her lyrics !! i resonate a lot with them AND i associate them w lots of jjk characters (especially sugu wbk he’s a mitski girlie).. i just really love her !! she’s Mother always and forever :)
my favorite songs of hers are goodbye, my danish sweetheart / a pearl / i’m your man !! :33
4/ ricky montgomery
RICKYYY MY ANGEL ON THIS EARTH i love him so bad. :( he makes me happy. his songs are so comfy so cozy so lovely i just adore them……. they’re very winter-y but also very summer-y i just love them a lot!! and i think his interactions w the jjk/sk8 fandoms are so funny he’s my emotional support artist i think i would probably kill if he asked me to
my favorite songs of his are cabo / california / line without a hook !! :3
5/ beabadobee
what can i even say abt her…. she’s my goddess i think. beabadobee is like mitski in that her songs just have this specific Vibe that nothing else has and it makes me yearn so bad… sooo nostalgic and vibrant i just think she’s so ridiculously good !!! her songs never fail to make me lose it entirely i listen to them often while writing too !!! they’re soooo catchy and wonderful <333
my favorite songs of hers are don’t get the deal / apple cider / cologne !! :3
#TYSM FOR THE QUESTION 🍒 ANON#i hope my answers didn’t disappoint!! :’3 i rlly am sooooo . idk unknowledgeable? when it comes to music 😭😭#but these guys are very dear to me <33#WHAT ABT UUUU what are your favorites??? i’d love to know !!!#wait also honorable mention to madds buckley and mili i love them so bad too#im remembering all my favorite artists as im writing this hhhh T—T will wood too …#ask tag ✩#🍒 anon !! ✩

SEVENTEEN as Alternative/Indie/Rock Songs
Several years ago, I started making this list of all the alt/indie/rock songs I associate with Seventeen! It’s my favourite genre of music, so I’ll be doing these for a few groups.
This was originally going to be a GFX series, so Jeonghan and Jun have links to my GFX posts. Otherwise, links are to the songs on YouTube!
S.COUPS
King — Zayde Wølf
Seungcheol is King, what else needs to be said?????
Mr. Wølf has got a full(?)/clean voice that I think matches well with Cheol's vibe
JEONGHAN
This is Gospel — Panic! At the Disco
((Check out the GFX here!))
Thought of Hannie when listening to the piano version actually
I think the fact there’s 2 official versions with different vibes kinda show Jeonghan’s softness vs the fact he’s cool af
(Like ALL HIS HIDDEN TALENTS?? ok Jeonghan I see u)
JOSHUA
Heart of Gold — Foreign Figures
The warmth this song radiates reminds me of Shua
I think it fits his vibe and he could sing it!
It’s not exactly his style, but he could rock it
JUN
Top of the World — Greek Fire
I feel like Junhui could sing a ver. of this where the tune is the same but has different instruments and less of shouting
Like the verses definitely fit!!
BONUS ! JUN
Let Me Down Slowly - Alec Benjamin
((Check out the GFX here!))
Bonus bc it’s technically indie pop not rock (though someone did make an alt rock cover!!!)
On that note, it’s also kind of like a ballad which wbk junhui slays
Junhui’s softness matched with Alec’s!! They both got soft voices like cotton candy
I still think Junhui’s voice is very purple and fits this song
HOSHI
Kung Fu — IAMCOUCHSURF
This song is definitely more of a fun/silly vibe than the others, which gives me Hoshi vibes!
I had another song for Hoshi that he could dance to, whereas this one is more of just a song to jam to than one he’d dance to
Though the singing style sounds kind of like Hoshi (in a rock context)
WONWOO
Man or a Monster — Sam Tinnesz ft. Zayde Wølf
Ngl if Wonu sang this... I would cry
The vibe of this song fits him really well imo
And the lyrics are smth I could write a fic abt w/him!! The point is it’s very vibey
WOOZI
Way Down We Go — KALEO
The piano is an immediate tie in to Jihoon's vibe
Soft indie rock!! Maybe not something he could sing himself, but it reminds me of him
THE8
Call Me Fighter — Matt Beilis
THINKING OF AN FMV WITH MINGHAO OOOH
This has soft verses but then the chorus really ramps it up
It’s like... such epic vibes and I feel like Hao could cover it if it was a little different? (like what I said abt Jun’s)
He could pull off the verses in Chinese for sure
MINGYU
Monster — Willyecho
I FEEL LIKE A *beat drop* *guitar riff* MONSTER
If you don't see Gyu playing electric guitar to that then idk what to say
I really love Mingyu as this song lol, he could really rock parts of it!!
DK
Hell No! — Mel Senese
I think Dokyeom could sing this
But also I picked it because the vibe is definitely DK’s vibe (maybe even BooSeokSoon)
Like the hook and chorus give DK energy
SEUNGKWAN
Birds — Imagine Dragons
Originally I had this one for DK but I think Seungkwan’s voice fits the entire song better rather than DK who fits just the chorus/bridge
Like Seungkwan could sing this!! Maybe it’s not entirely his vibe but he could!!
I think this being more vocal-driven than other Imagine Dragons songs also lends to the Seungkwan vibes
VERNON
Dreamin' — The Score ft. Blackbear
Sorry can I get a cover of this from Vernon pls thanks Mr. Chwe 👉👈
Lyrics kind of fit him too; if you told me he wrote this song I would believe you
The lyrics are abt pursuing your dreams despite what other people say & that could be tied into his own issues, while having a vibe that fits him imo
"Listen to me now as I wash away my fears" YOU CAN’T TELL ME THAT’S NOT A VERNON LYRIC
DINO
Play with Fire — Sam Tinnesz
I would be lying if said I didn’t imagine myself w/Chan dancing to a choreo I made of this LMFAO
I think Chan could rock this song sO HARD if he made choreo
((ALSO I made this post literal years ago; SKZ Hyunjin did a dance for this song which is exactly what I was thinking of at the time))
WHOLE GROUP
Citizen of Heaven — Tauren Wells
This is gospel rock lol but I think this fits like a very specific early era of SVT
Like Shining Diamonds era and around that time!!
BONUS ! LEADER LINE
Can’t Stop Me Now — Oh The Larceny
Ok I don’t think this actually fits them vibe-wise, but nothing can stop these 3 like cmon now
So this is more of a theme song for them rather than smth they’d sing themselves
BONUS ! PERFORMANCE UNIT
Revenge, And A Little Bit More — Unlike Pluto
Pluto himself calls his style electronic rock so I’m including it lol
SVT could make a choreo to this and I would cry
I’m not sure why I thought of perf. unit but somehow it works??

new chap of fcc… love u babe. DID WATCH THE NEW HOTD EP??? keep us updated on ur thoughts!!
Love you more 😘 glad you liked it!
Ok don’t hate me but I didn’t. I don’t have work on Wednesday so I may watch it then. But tbh I was tempted to do what I did last season and sort of catch up after the fact. I didn’t start watching s1 in real time till ep 8 (I binged the other eps the Friday and Saturday before). It actually helped me formulate my thoughts better. If that makes sense. Idk this fandom can be… a lot/overly negative for the sake of argument and it can be hard to enjoy it while airing. I don’t want to be fighting for my life as an Alicent girlie and an overall team green enjoyer lmao.
That being said I have seen a couple of clips and knows the basic beats simply by just being around so I will say:
- glad they gave Aegon Helaena and their family some development pre b&c. Can’t speak on actual b&c bc I haven’t seen it. Wish we got more of them as a unit in s1
- I think Emma and their acting skills does most of the work bc I don’t care about lucerys dying (sorry not sorry) but interested to see where grief takes Rhaenyra. How is she going to react to b&c.
- daemon is a loser wbk
- loving the dynamic they are setting up with Aemond. Not only him lean to the death being on purpose but also pointing out the honest hypocrisy of him ‘being the reason the war started’… while they already put Aegon on the throne 😭. Like yeah Luke dying def accelerated things. But at the end of the day, it all broke the moment Aegon got a crown on his head. Naturally Aemond would feel some type of way about a parent choosing Rhaenyra over him (in his mind)… again. And this time it’s the parent that defended him. That has to suck
- I guess the thing (outside of b&c) that people have the most things to say about is Alicent and Criston. Soooo I have mixed feelings on this. On one hand, I’m of the belief that BOTH rhaenicent and alicole are better left in the margines… aka things left unsaid and unconsumated. I like the will they or won’t they of both. That means I wasn’t like jumping up and down knowing they hooked up, especially since we apparently don’t see how?? I could be wrong about that but that’s what i am assuming not watching. I think I’d appreciate it more seeing the first time or how these ultra repressed people got to having casual sex. But I will say even as someone who enjoys rhaenicent, that I like the idea of Alicent figuring her sexuality out for herself. Even if she realizes it’s not for her or hates herself afterward, she deserves a chance to try it out. I’m not of the belief that Criston is just gonna turn on her one day.
Also I feel more inclined to defend it simply bc this fandom is weird and now people are taking their distain for alicole out on Fabien. What we aren’t gonna do is demonize a man of color for some ship. It is to the point where people want to make it seem like Liv doesn’t like him which we know is just not true. It is also extra icky when it comes from white people bc why are you calling Criston a dog…. While actively stanning white character who behave the same or worse way. It gives the same vibes as the misogynist who love the male characters of the show but hate the women. Like bffr
This in general brings up a larger point for me that I haven’t really known how to put into words. I feel like a group of people - mainly rhaenicents (and once again I say this as someone who thinks that relationship is one of the most if not the most interesting in the whole show) - who act as if Alicent needs to hate everyone BUT Rhaenyra. Like she must hate her children, her father, and Criston but god forbid you bring up any resentment she may have towards Rhaenyra. Alicent is allowed to be sad about her childhood being taken and love her kids. She’s allowed to resent the position her father put her in and seek his council. She is allowed to know what Criston is capable of and understand he has been there for her for more than a decade. Just like she can move to put her son on the throne and miss what she had with Rhaenyra. Alicent is very complex and that should be seen through all her relationship.
One gripe I will say about alicole is like… what is the payoff. It is to make his eventual death hurt more? Is it more division amongst the greens? Is it for the guilt of it all?
#sorry if this is long#but hiii if yall want to chat#also I am very close to posting another chapter of bitw so look out for that ❤️#hotd talk#hotd spoilers

There was a private Insta page where people would post anonymous tea on celebs they had encounters with and occasionally they had tea on NBA players. The page was deleted a while ago though and I was on it because half of the time it was just the most insane shit ever. I didn't think anything of the info but now catching up on this thread I think some of the stuff might've been true but I can't confirm so take it with a grain of salt.
Tea was submitted on multiple players these are just the ones I remember, I'll try remember others if I can.
Ben - Girl said his dick was bigger than her arm and prettier than you can imagine. She felt like her insides were being rearranged during and she couldn't walk after. He was also nice and intuitive.
Jimmy - A little above average and lasted for ages, can be exhausting to hook up with and could be very corny.
Kyrie - He was average both in size and in bed and the girls said she understood why Kehlani cheated on him.
Tatum - he's a massive hoe, he's not huge, apparently goes to sex parties but he's alright in bed and kinky.
Devin - Really big dick, doesn't like kissing and great in bed.
Kuzma - Average size and alright in bed, a bit of a try hard. Funny but the girl noticed he was insecure because he kept asking if she'd hooked up with other NBA players(specifically Ben) before and seemed anxious before she said she hadn't. (I remembered this cause it was weird, no clue why Kuzma would even ask about Ben???)
D'Lo - Had a threesome with her and her friend, is down for almost anything but he's not huge. Great at giving head and using his fingers.
JB - Not very big but knows how to use his size well. A lot smarter than any athlete that girl had talked to.
Trae - Below Average, good at giving head and very lightskin whatever that means.
Kelly - Wild af in bed and fucked like a rabbit. Decent size, not huge but good.
AD - Pencil dick, long but not thick and didn't last too long. Very weird personality wise.
Gobert - Below average of what you'd expect from a 7 footer. Has basically no game despite the sexy accent and is very awkward. Very into the idea of getting the perfect girl he could show off to his parents but also wants to fit in with his NBA peers and wants a pretty model type. Very open emotionally.
Zion: Into white girls, submissive and giving sexually. Very goofy as well.
oh wow i have many thoughts here. i think the main one is all of these sound 100% accurate because they remind me of previous dick reports or things i’ve read. the jimmy one is interesting but i feel like he gives off that energy naturally so it’s not too surprising. i’m screaming @ that’s why kehlani cheated. i’ve also heard that jayson likes threesomes and other stuff like that and that he’s wild. make sense why the herpes issue was a thing, he seems a bit reckless when it comes to sex. i think i remember the devin thing about kissing too. now the kuzma one??? for some reason i can see this being true. if we all know on here that ben is something worth raving about when it comes to sex, you think players don’t know? weird that kuzma would actually tell on himself by asking that but i digress. dlo one also sounds like something i’ve seen on lsa before. also that he’s energetic and laughs/makes jokes a lot with the woman he’s with. another source saying jaylen isn’t that big??? hmm has me thinking cause we’ve heard that one before. intelligent king tho but wbk. the gobert one is not shocking at all lmfao he seems awkward as hell. but ofc we don’t know if any of this is true so anons it’s up to you what you wanna believe. & thanks for sharing this anon
#ben simmons#jimmy butler#kyrie irving#jayson tatum#devin booker#kyle kuzma#d’angelo russell#jaylen brown#trae young#kelly oubre jr.#anthony davis#rudy gobert#zion williamson

a favour - min yoongi x reader
summary: a revenge hickey turns into something else. warnings: oral (f. recieving), yunki has a big dick and is kind of ooc you decide, use of the word “minx” like one time, condom penetration, fingering, spitting, pussy slapping, dirty talk, swearing, your ex is a dick, yunki has an oppa kink (wbk), begging, hair pulling, over stimulation, revenge hickey (duh) is this technically prostitution, praise kink, yeah, there's a lot of filth. oh also they fuck on the kitchen counter. ps. the ending sucks.
I have a new girlfriend now and she took my cock way better than you ever could.
Your phone was going to break in your grasp, you were sure of it. Your dick of an ex had just texted you, he knew how to get to you.
“Fuckstick,” you typed back a reply before reading it and shaking your head, deleting the message and sending a different one.
“I told you he was an asshole,” a voice made you jump and turn around, “didn’t I? Right? Someone remind me, I did, didn’t I?”
“Yoongi, seriously, I am not in the mood for your shit right now.”
“Well, you kind of have to be, because otherwise, you’d have to go live somewhere else.”
“Yunki!” you threw your arms up, “I swear to god.” he chuckled softly at this, rolling his eyes before looking back down at his phone. “Actually,” you bounced up to him, “I need your help.”
“Oh, so now she’s being nice.”
“Hyung, let the broken-hearted girl speak.” Namjoon sniggered.
“Hyung, get out,” Yoongi hissed back.
You watched Namjoon leave, making a pouty face, “I’m going to double-date him. And I need a date. And, also. I need a hickey.”
“That’s a lot of favours,” Yoongi smirked, rolling his tongue across his cheek. Your face heated up.
“Oh, come on, you owe me so many! Yo -”
“You could just ask him to be your boyfriend, like, for real,” someone laughed from the couch, Yoongi growled.
“Get out.” The room finally empty, Yoongi turned to you. “Okay,” he shrugged, “I’ll do it.”
“Seriously? Like, you won’t back out, because I was kind of impulsive -”
“I know, you’re always impulsive. And, yes. I promise. Okay? Now, come on, where do you want the hickey? Where does he put them?”
You looked away.
“Oh, I’ll kill him. He hasn’t even given you a hickey and you’ve been dating for, what, three months? Have you even had sex with him yet?”
“Shut up.”
“Oh, I’m gonna kick his balls.”
“Yunki.”
“Right. So. I’ll just -”
It was awkward; tense as he pulled you close, breathing down your neck, “first hickey.”
For once, a retort didn’t come out of your mouth; his lips had latched onto your skin and his teeth sunk in with a groan. You didn’t mean to moan, it kind of just slipped out in the moment.
“Yunki.” he stopped, “what?” conscious. “More.” he chuckled at this, “you know, sex wasn’t part of the deal -”
“Min Yoongi,” you hissed, glaring at him, “I know it’s hard, but try not to be a dick, yah? Just give in for once. We’ve both waited long for this. You know it, I know it -”
“You talk too much,” he groaned loudly, “stop.” you giggled at this, blushing. “But you’re right,” he said softly, “we have waited too long.”
“Yunki,” you whined, “please.”
“Please what?” He was smirking again, you groaned in frustration.
“Touch me, eat me, fuck me, I don’t care, I just need you please Yoongi - Yunki!”
He’d taken you by complete surprise, hoisted you up the kitchen counter, tongue in your folds, no warning whatsoever, chuckling into your skin. “These are n - new,” you moaned, fisting his hair.
He chuckled again, “I’ll buy you another pair.” you scoffed at this. “So wet,” he whispered, smirking. “I haven’t even started yet. Is this all for me?”
“All for you, Oppa.”
“Oppa,” he murmured with a smile, “I like that.”
“T - thought you would.”
“Naughty,” he slapped you this time, veiny hand beating against your drenched pussy, earning a loud mewl. “You like that?” he chuckled. “Knew you would. Tell me,” he whispered again, “how does it feel,” breathed down your neck, “to be,” slid his tongue across your clit, “pampered?”
“So good,” you breathed lightly, “so good, Oppa.”
“Mmm,” he spat down on your clit, making you squirm and fist his hair tighter. “Such a dirty girl,” he murmured quietly, “who’s dirty girl are you?”
“Y - yours, Oppa.”
“Only mine?”
“Only yours.”
“Good girl. Now, are you gonna be an even better girl or are you gonna cum twice today?”
“What - whatever you want, Oppa.”
“Such a sweet thing, hah?” Yoongi whispered into your neck. You nodded lazily. “Okay, I’ll let you cum, just because I want to see it happen.”
So you did as he said, and came over the kitchen top, legs numb, face frozen, stars before your eyes; he chuckled softly, “you’re so fucking hot,” appreciative before you spoke up again.
“Do you have a condom, Oppa?”
“I always have a condom, sweetheart.”
“Yunki,”
He stopped. “Wait.”
Taken aback.
“I mean, sure, but -”
“No, let me do it.”
“Minx.”
Wrapping the condom around his full length, you stared down at him. At this, Yoongi smirked.
“Why, princess?” he murmured quietly, “surprised?” kissed your thigh.
“Not really,” you had the balls to say, “kind of guessed it.”
Yunki scoffed, “you’re too good to me, aren’t you?”
“I suppose,”
“You like it when I say nice things to you?”
“Love it, Oppa.”
“Aren’t you cute,” it was more of a statement than a question. You nodded lazily again. “Should we move to the couch, or should I just fuck you here?”
“Just fuck me here,” you moaned loudly.
His eyebrows rose in amusement.
“You’re really hot,” he murmured. “Can you take all of me? I don’t want to hurt you.”
“So kind to me, Oppa,” you put your head in the crook of his neck as he joined you on the surface. “I can take you, I promise.”
“What’s your safeword?”
You shrugged at this before thinking, “BTS.”
“Don’t do that to me!” he laughed now, embarrassed.
“Okay, okay, red.”
“Do you trust me?” he murmured.
“Yunki!” you whined, “hurry up.”
“Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
As usual, you bit off more than you could chew. Yoongi was huge. You mewled loudly as he entered you, gripping his hair tighter than you ever had before.
“Fuck,” he grunted softly, breaths harsh. “Fuck, you’re so tight.”
“You’re so big.”
“I thought you could take me?”
“Aren’t I.” you smirked, he clenched his jaw, lip curled.
“You’re being bad to me, princess,” he pouted, “Oppa doesn’t like that.” thrusting harder. “Tell me,” he said loftily again, “how good do I feel?”
“So, so good, Oppa.” you whined, squriming. “You feel so good.”
“Damn right I do,” he bit down your neck again, sliding a finger in.
Because you didn’t react, he put in another, hooking it this time.
The coil snapped.
He thrusted harder, the glass of water near the sink was shaking.
Your legs were giving out.
He was grunting now, breathing heavily, pressing into the table, eyes boring into yours as your mouth hung lazily open.
He bent down to place a kiss on your lips, moaning into you.
“I love you,” he grunted softly.
“I love you, too.”
MASTERLIST - requests are open!

Hello! So, I am a two muse theory doubter (yes read realistic Kay too a couple of times). Like, I want to believe. I have even tried to force it in my mind but it doesn’t take. The reason is - TMT fails to consider the fluctuations of emotional highs, lows, love and lust over the initial 2 year period of a relationship. Like, I am a semi profesh song writer with a muse. The variety of POV I write from are extensive. Life is an emotional pendulum and our experiences make it swing. On any given day, our perspectives and emotions can complete change for a given moment towards a muse. I can love my muse for the rest of my life but hate them with the same passion on any given day, go to my piano and write it into a song and feel indifferent to it later (the good and bad end up in songs). When I listen to Rep, it’s range of intensities I easily apply to my one muse. Taylor herself saying Dress, Delicate, CIWYW & NYD her true story on the album reads like she is just pointing to her average daily experiences with 1 muse. If Delicate is Joe & Dress is Karlie - Taylor separated her finding “love amongst the chaos” into loving two people in her true story. If you actually timeline those particular songs it’s Dress (a lustful hook up), to Delicate (wanting to make it official), CIWYW (the pressure of making it official) and NYD (the challenge of commitment). Unless “Dress” leads her to “Delicate”, why include it at all in her true love story line up? Like, was it a last minute attempt to hetsplain that song years after it came out?🤷♀️ by her including NYD in her true love story of Rep, it ties via the ‘squeeze my hand three times in taxi’ lines to cruel summers crying in the backseat lines (which is also the circumstantial vibe of CIWYW). The backseat crying lines of Cruel Summer ties to the Cornelia Street vibe (which Taylor writes later as a reflection of the whatever happened after the Delicate moment) which ties back to Delicate via the bar lines and forward later in time to Gold Rush via the creaks / wooden in the floor lines. I mean, all this says to me there is 1 muse of her true story - which could be Joe (but that cancels out the sapphic nature of dress) or Karlie (which means this illicit affair on joshy-boy really did happen somewhere between 100 and a million times). Tbh, I tend to believe the later. So you’ll be like okay what about LSS, Invisable String then fruitcake? (Fair call future sleuth haha). Or what about babygate and joshlie marriage?! Like, wbk that affair was at least long and messy AF. Folklore and Evermore were written last year and Lover period was fairly chaotic and clunky at best (presumably because of masters heist). Like, they MUST have broken up (FG, DBATC, Daylight, The 1, Cardigan saga, TIMT, Hoax, Peace, Exile, Coney Is, Evermore, RWYLM, CP, Happiness, TTDS). Like, they all have 1 muse energy of losing someone you love through messiness (could be joe🤷♀️ we’ll never know for sure). But many of these songs refer to a third person being involved which screams Joshlie to me because of ivy, illicit affair, the bitterness of “The Man”. Baby, you say? Like it’s pretty simple - Karlie went back to Josh, married him and had a baby and Taylor’s like “uhh, what a fucking joke” and processed it last year through writing two albums about it all. Invisable string, LSS - like these are both songs which come from a POV of self-reflection after hope is lost. Maybe reunited after preggo-gate? Maybe consolidated love after break up into friendship aka Dorothea? WB - quite simply - WB is the model to which Taylor writes about whatever she wants to (triangulation of desire). Good for her, great writing strategy. Is it a strategy needed? Well ya, but only if it’s born of having 1 muse and a very obvious story Taylor is trying to obscure. Like, come at me sleuth cuz I reallllly want to believe in two muse story. I wouldn’t even had bothered writing this if I didn’t. What am I missing?
Hey Sim here. So Nat broke protocol and sent me this one to answer because I too am a writer and I too at one point reached that point in the lyric analysis where I literally could not fathom any timeline I was hearing that made sense due to the connections in the lyrics between Reputation and Lover. I have a whole spreadsheet called “Car Bar Roof” where I’m just trying to make sense of a series of events through lyrics alone and I nearly drove myself crazy doing it.
With that being said, I want to give a disclaimer: Nothing wrong with you interpreting things your own way! I know Nat can come off kind of brash sometimes, but both of us are always hyper-aware that we are discussing what essentially amounts to a “Taylor Swift Is Gay” conspiracy theory and because it’s a conspiracy theory and we don’t know these people, no analysis is ever going to be 100% correct. If you don’t hear two muses on Rep, that’s totally fine! I’m sure we have some Toe/Swiftwyn readers who would agree with you there!
I do want to caution against relying entirely on lyric parallels to create a timeline, however. You’re going to dig yourself into a rabbithole that’s very hard to get out of. I think a lot of people don’t realize that Taylor has been using a lot of metaphors (especially the car and the bar) her entire career. It ends up being a big stretch to assume that just because two events in two different songs both take place in a car or a bar, Taylor is talking about the exact same moments. Like, let’s be real, how many times have any of us ever been in a car? Wouldn’t it be kind of ridiculous for a critic of our work to assume everything we write involving a car is about the same specific time we were in a car?
It is also incredibly easy to construct false narratives when you rely only on song analysis. I’ll give you an example using Taylor’s first high school boyfriend, Drew. Whether you believe it or not, he’s often cited as the inspiration for Tim McGraw. The song Tim McGraw has a variety of common themes with Taylor’s other work, the main ones being summer, dancing, the moon, a little black dress, a truck, a creek/river, and going back to school. If we follow song parallel logic, I could connect Tim McGraw to folkmore songs and, because of this, could say Taylor is still dating/writing about Drew from high school.
The little black dress in Tim McGraw is also mentioned in unreleased Live for the Little Things and The Other Side of the Door. In both Tim McGraw and Live for the Little Things, Taylor mentions a black dress and dances with her lover under the moon. A summer love that ends with going back to school can also be found in August, and Cruel Summer and August are very similar songs, in that both are about a summer love that can’t last and isn’t being taken as seriously by one person as another. The Other Side of the Door is almost the exact same premise of an ex at your doorway as I Almost Do, Dark Blue Tennessee, All You Had to Do Was Stay, and exile, meaning all those songs must be connected as well. Dancing with someone in the middle of the night can also be found in Everything Has Changed, 22, and Dancing With Our Hands Tied. As a bonus, trucks and dancing are also mentioned in Champagne Problems, which connects to Gold Rush, So It Goes, and Dancing With Our Hands tied through the use of the color Gold. So It Goes also mentions wearing black and meeting someone in the middle of the night. So all those songs have to be about Drew as well.
So here’s the narrative that makes: Taylor and Drew dated over a summer then broke up when he went back to school but at some point he came back to her door and they got back together. They mostly hung out in the middle of the night, driving around and dancing. Unfortunately, when he proposed, Taylor couldn’t say yes, and literally left him stranded on the dance floor and is now #foreveralone and writing folkmore to process these events.
To be clear, I don’t actually believe any of this. I don’t think anyone else does either, but since neither Taylor nor Drew have publicly interacted in over a decade, this can be easily disproved, despite the “obvious” way the songs connect. Taylor just likes certain themes. Cars and bars. Nature. The contrast of light and dark. Sparks and fire. I guarantee if you go over her unreleased songs and first two albums with the same fine tooth comb you’ve gone over Folkmore/Lover/Reputation/1989 with, you’ll find just as many lyric parallels, and it’s not because she’s only writing about one person.
Occams Razor tells me Kaylor’s not on good terms anymore. It also tells me Karlie and Josh are actually having a child together. From the outside, it looks like things have been bad since at least the Masters Heist, if not before, and the more digging we’ve done, the more evidence we find of that. Now, you don’t have to believe that if you don’t want to! As long as you don’t go around harassing people we’ve got no beef with you. Just know you’re always going to find song parallels to back up whatever you want because Taylor’s such a prolific songwriter who loves to use the same themes again and again. That’s just deductive reasoning, baby. Thanks for the discourse though! LMK if you wanna chat song analysis sometime!

Italy brings the rock’n’roll youth of tomorrow to Rotterdam 2021
youtube
It’s the final day of doing my yet again botched attempt at a review series and I’ve been dying to post my gigantic write-up for my newly beloved Italy, at the top of the bookies, darling of all hearts, ready to rock Eurovision, and even more! Vai vai~
ARTIST & ENTRY INFO
Representing them this year is Måneskin, a band made up of four - singer and possibly the hottest motherfucker to grace the planet Earth Damiano, guitarist Thomas, drummer Ethan, and the cherry on top - bassist Victoria, whose half-Danish heritage is the reason Måneskin is called Måneskin (= Moonshine). They thought of this name at a “battle of the bands” that they won, thinking they might as well change it to something different, but in the end... say it with me now
They have known each other since highschool, made a band in 2016, won the “battle of the bands”, started out making a living as buskers in the streets of Rome, from which they gradually grew through playing small gigs, and later tried out for X Factor Italia season 11, on which they came 2nd.
youtube
They went on to release an EP titled after their debut single of the name of the song above, including some of their X Factor covers, and later on got to get big through releasing an album, getting it certified all kinds of goodnesses, having singles from that album be popular, even releasing a documentary of themselves... they’ve done so much in life and they’re only 20-22 years old... aw man, the life is just ahead of them, for them to be so young and win Sanremo on their first try. (And I’ve always wanted them for Eurovision ever since I was aware of their existence, because their music is very nice, and they just feel like charming human beings. So imagine my joy seeing them announced for Sanremo 2021? And them WINNING months later??? man what kind of luck do I have even if just for a year lmao <333)
“Zitti e buoni”, the last song title alphabetically this year, is purely of the band’s making, and the lyrics are talking about not abiding the rules in general, how they’re out of their minds but they’re not like “them”, and how people talk but don’t know what they’re talking at all.
REVIEW
IT’S A PRETTY CRAZY GOOD ROCK SONG AMEN HALLELUJAH OPRAH WOOOOOOO
wbk I love it. Yeah sure it might be composited of something that sounds like standard rock riffs and what not, but it’s the ENERGY that goes into it that gets me more excited for this than for Finland, a fellow rock song of this year’s final.
Damiano’s vocals have the specific kind of rockstar tinge to them, and they’re very complimenting to the song. The way he says everything is beautiful, the “e buonasera signore e signori” line in particular is just a moment that shows the beginning of power somehow, I don’t know. The chorus is great, eventhough it’s just one line repeated but it changes the pronoun each time (going from “I’m out of my mind” to “you’re out of your mind” to “we’re out of my mind”) - MAGICAL.
And the bridge. YES, the bridge. Along with the outro it’s the best part of the song. The chord progression. The lines repeated on that bridge. The emotions going on. The delivery of the lines of the emotion. It’s a convincing little bridge, to the point that it sounds just as great with violins! Wish they brought one, because according to Love Love Peace Peace, nothing screams winner quite like a violin.
God damn to the Måneskinsters pump this song up to the maximum. It was originally a ballad song, and I think that’s for the better for them to present it as a rock song, because a Sanremo ballad in a pool of Sanremo ballads... unless it stands out according to demoscopic & press juries, and there seems to be a no better option at hand that could make them stand out other than just sending a classy ballad, it just fizzles out in a spectacularly lame fashion. Måneskin’s one real shot through was with a song that would make them stand out, and they did it, and they’re here.
Everyone has put in their work, their passion, their skills into this, and it shows off in spades. Måneskin themselves are fantastic and chill human beings, who too, just like Flo Rida, get to enjoy how crazy amazing Eurovision experience is. And for that I salute them with my whole heart. Whatever they do tonight on Eurovision, they’ll leave a lasting mark in it. And for a good reason.
Also an Italian Eurovision edit that doesn’t suck, once again, yay! (In their defense, they didn’t have a whole lot to work with, so they released theirs early - just a few trimmings here and there, and a lyric change so that they skate by EBU easier with their anti-swearing policies. Gahddamn swearing~)
Approval factor: FUCK YES Follow-up factor: The funny thing about this is that last year their entry is about making noise but the song was a love ballad, this year it’s a song titled “shut up and behave” while dressed in a loudest motherfucking musical setting lol. Fuck the rules! It was solely on the Sanremo’s last year’s winner Diodato not to send an entry he thought that would fit for Sanremo, and that’s good on him - he can return next year replenished as all hell, and maybe aim for the trophy again? wishful thinking? aaaa. Anyway on a personal scale “Zitti e buoni” is a marvelous follow-up from “Fai rumore”, even if skipping 2020 entirely, especially after “Soldi”, which was already a fab follow-up after “Non mi avete fatto niente”, and even from “Occidentali’s Karma” on. And so it is subjectively a good follow-up. Italy SLAYS. AQ factor: As I write this, the odds are very much in their favour, if not a little bit too persuaded over the fact that Måneskin gave a good rock performance and knew what they would be doing, or it’s just that the Italians like overbetting for their acts way too damn much. But nevertheless, I just wanna hope for them to break the expectations people set on rock songs in Eurovision and SMASH themselves a victory. Or a top 2. Or a top 5-10. Anything will do, goddamn.
NF CORNER
Well, I promised that I will talk about Sanremo in a NF corner, because this is the first year I actually cared to watch it myself, unlike when I would’ve sided with someone whose reviewing style I love in not caring to watch it, and usually just check all the songs on the last day lol.
One thing about Sanremo that I sorely underestimate is that a handful of artists on there can come across as very versatile, and the one song you loved of one genre they presented several years ago, can be completely different and leave you baffled for days if you’re not very familiarized with their discography and the Italian music scene in general. Which now I’m going to pay an extreme amount of attention towards following Sanremo 2022 on out because hot damn did I never see gems like Willie Peyote coming!
youtube
Did I call him a gem over his entry? Yes, somehow. Am I even sure if I’m being serious?
I think I can somewhat agree when I say that for the international fam watching Sanremo at least, “Mai dire mai (La locura)” was a major expectation destroyer, at least for the crowd whose main lookouts in a lineup like this years were Ermal Meta, Annalisa, Arisa, etc. You know they’re gonna bring a ballad, and their ballads are usually decent, but what about the unexpected? That’s where a handful of acts, including Willie, comes in for me. The bass hooks in the second the song starts. The beat is minimalistic but strong enough to slap. The steady rap flow is mesmerizing, paired with that somewhat specifically Italian(?) vocal timbre. The chorus is greatly catchy, and it is a sung chorus, with this song still being largely a rap song. The electric-esque guitar soundwaves interspersed throughout the song are magnificent and magical, and on the chorus they even make a constant melody riff that repeats and may get annoying on multiple listens, but I still adore them. I really love the bridge as well and all that goes into it. A fantastic surprise of the season for me personally.
Now I figure that the lyrics may hinder the enjoyment for some, especially the points raised in some lines that may seem questionable and shady (if this went to Eurovision and got a “twerking” comment on Youtube, I will not be surprised if the description of choice is “patriarchic twerking”), but am I supposed to be fully offended at some points of it if I’m not its target audience, although I see some of what I do nowadays in those lines? “Mai dire mai” is probably dedicated to the Italian media and the Italian trends and what not. I’m not even disappointed it didn’t win, because if it went to Eurovision, it would’ve likely been met like a lesser “Occidentali’s Karma” - catchy song with lyrics that fly over listener’s heads which might as well be very accidentally mocking how we live our lives.
“Mai dire mai” has just less of a memorability-in-history value and no memorable gimmicks (Francesco had a gorilla, what is it visually going for on Willie’s performance?), besides, it would’ve suffered even WORSE post-Eurovision-edit than OK has - a lot of the bits and bobs that pass me by but when I notice them they make a really great entry, but other than the (presumably copyrighted) removal of a sample from a TV series (spoken by a fish character, nonetheless), what else is there to remove???? With Eurovision’s rules specifying that brands (Spotify, TikTok) and swearwords (lots of the good old Italian ones that Italian radios would digitally scratch out to emphasize that there were a LOT in the second verse) can’t be sung live, the song loses some of its lyrical charm. And you can’t just go around the song like Francesco Gabbani chopping off entire verses full of content full of witty lyrics and a reference to Chanel in order to present the more lyrically singable-along-to lines and not let go of the long chorus to whom his gorilla can dance to. “Mai dire mai” is RIFE with lyrics, that’s what a rap song is. It would have absolutely fallen apart.
Also no one paged it as a potential Eurovision winner during Sanremo, at least seriously, and it doesn’t have much that would have clicked with the future Eurovision generation and contestants when they would be asked to name their favourite Eurovision song of all times. In a world where from Italy they really like “Grande amore” and “Soldi” and even sometimes could name “Occidentali’s Karma”, is there really a place for “Mai dire mai (La locura)” over “Zitti e buoni”? Who would be naming that song as their favourite of all time? If you raised a hand, you lie to yourself, because that would’ve been me.
Now I don’t know how many of the Tumblr fam would draw ire at me putting out paragraphs worth of me being ultra positive towards this song, because as I’ve learned, there’s an ironic and unironic audience for Mr. Peyote on Tumblr especially, but for me I guess it was pretty worthy, also a thing I was finally able to yell off my chest since, and now I finally said it, I will continue streaming “Mai dire mai (La locura)” in peace.
He might’ve not won Sanremo, but his song won the equally important Mia Martini Critics Award, and also, my heart. Rest in broken shards of the Boris aquarium, my sweet cynical prince~
Måneskin were my 2nd after him so I’m equally happy they won. But what about my other favourites?
• Extraliscio ft. Davide Toffolo - Bianca luce nera A diluted version of the liscio genre, still makes for a very fascinatingly catchy and swaying song with lots of great instruments that are violins and a clarinet. What I figure is kinda a love song. Their performances were also great, with lots of dancers on stage and a genuinely great fun to be had, and you may remember them more after their performance in cover night, which was titled “Rosamunda”. They were the ones with their main singer’s guitar spinning for whatever reason that was there to make their song catchy, I guess.
• Lo Stato Sociale - Combat Pop A little bit of a far cry from their glory heydays with 2nd place in Sanremo 2018, but they returned with an equally banging song and an amazing set of performance chaos they brought in each and every time - dedicating their first night’s one to making a performance to not forget (and being the ones of two to reference the great Bugo&Morgan incident from last year, the other being Willie Peyote), the second competitive one was for referencing politics, and so on.
• Colapesce & Dimartino - Musica leggerissima Sweet melancholic song with the shades of Sebastien Tellier kinda sound, this song may seem jolly at first, but the especially melancholic undertones denote that there’s something else going on. It’s actually about depression, as that’s what the term “musica leggerissima” (very light music) means. But it still found a heart in Italian listeners and the Italian world finally woke up to how great Antonio Di Martino and Lorenzo “Colapesce” Urciullo are, and a handful of viewers were slightly heartbroken to see it not place in the superfinal top 3. Who knows if they would’ve actually won over Måneskin. I just know that their rollerskater girlie is so damn fine~
Bugo has also returned but I think his redemption arc started off the wrong foot, as his return entry, “E invece si”, was a bloated showtune ballad and got obnoxious to listen to at part. I declared to myself that night when I first heard the new entry that regarding on what made “Sincero” great, I side with Morgan.
And a special shout out to Ghemon, whose 2019 song was more than just a “purple rose” unlike I noted on a last proper Italian entry review. I don’t know what expectations I had for him, but I certainly wanted to love “Momento perfetto” more at the first listen, which was also somewhat of a show-tuney piece, but with a bit more funk and pizzazz, also Ghemon was VERY much vibing with his song, and that made me feel great for the few other performances of it that I saw the following days. It’s definitely a grower song, and around 2 months after Sanremo I fell into a bit of a rabbit-hole of his earlier music discovering, and I may be a bit exaggerating but, give Ghemon a bit more of acknowledgement and a stellar enough song, and with a little bit of magic touch, I can maybe see him lifting the Golden Lion trophy one day. Don’t ask why. (also lovely music video for his 2021 entry, which replaces continuous spinning in an aesthetic area to everybody moving their body in a diner (hopefully with everyone in the MV tested and been negative for long enough for the MV to actually happen).)
NF CORNER (NON-COMPETITIVE)
There’s so much needed to be discussed about there. So I’ll restrict myself to the moments that I remember and cherish:
• Rosario Fiorello. Just. Him.
• And the gentleman next to him, Achille Lauro.
tw // body piercing
Belarus 2018 could never
Fiorello and Lauro are perfect matches to each other’s worlds of imagination, and I was more than ever glad to see so much creativity coming from each one of them, a host and a nightly interval act respectively.
• Once again, “Rosamunda Medley” by Extraliscio, I didn’t watch the cover night in its entirety but I think it’s good enough of a medley if it got a 3rd place from the cover night from the orchestra!
• Sanremo Newcomers section of this year. I liked or vibed to almost every song out of the 8, and I’m decently happy with the winner, but if there’s one big shoutout I really want to make, is to “Regina” by Davide Shorty, for it’s such a cozy funky little love song that always makes me happy when I hear it. My personal winner preference, but I don’t mind Davide getting 2nd! For as long as he gets to place 1st in a future main Sanremo event hihihihihi
youtube
• Diodato proving himself to be a dance king at the beginning of his “Che vita meravigliosa” performance, my good Twitter friend made a bunch of videos where he dances to a lot of songs, as per request, check them out and you won’t forget it.
• Since Sanremo 2021 got rid of the audience as per COVID regulations and much to Amadeus’s dread, there ended up quite a handful of audience related memes. Such as the penis balloon et al.
• Remember when Sanremo 2021 audience was supposed to be whisked away in a cruise ship for safety measures? Pepperidge Farm remembers
• SESSO IBUPROFENEEEEEEEE
The guy that sang this song actually has the same birthday as me, so in my eyes, I feel like he has some charm to it. I’m biased lol sorry
There’s way too many more but I am afraid of flooding my post beyond your readability interest. Let’s hope that, in an event of Italy’s victory or non, we’ll get to see an even more iconic event of Sanremo emerge come the future. <3
ANY LAST WORDS?
Måneskin’s big goal was to rock Eurovision, and I think they’ve greatly accomplished that by just... doing what they do best, and that is, rocking. They leave energy lasting for days.
In bocca al lupo, fam. You’ll nail it, and even if you don’t win, Italy shouldn’t not hail you as national heroes after it’s all over.

notable moments from The First David Job
leverage 1.12
sophie organized the notecards for the intervention
- - - - -
Sophie: Drunk again?
Nate: Are we still unclear? I'm a functioning alcoholic, you know? And the trick is not to get hung up on the "alcoholic." But celebrate the "functioning" part of the sentence.
- - - - -
Nate: Yeah, I- I know all this.
Hardison: No, no, no. See, while you are well-versed in dead-guy art, I myself am not. My entire criminal career is based on technology built after 1981. So I am riveted. Quite so. Please, do go on.
- - - - -
Hardison: Man, am I glad I don't have to break in there. That is one sick security system.
Parker: What, with our tools? Give me three days of prep, it'd be like taking diamonds from the French national bank. That's like taking candy from a baby.
Hardison: I got it.
Parker: A very easy thing to do.
Hardison: Got...it
I love her
- - - - -
Parker: Oh, look, little buddy. (picks up fake statue) That's your new home!
Hardison: Can you please not play with the little naked man? Please.

[Museum]
(Sophie goes around a corner out of sight)
Hardison: Let's talk about-- A little bit--

Hardison: You know what?
Parker: Oh.
Hardison: We, you know how it is.
Parker: Sorry.
(guards walk away and Sophie rejoins them)

Hardison: You did not just think about this on the way in from the van.
Parker: Some people do crosswords

Parker: We just stole an $8 million statue on, like, our day off! (she shakes their shoulders happily)
SHES BABY
- - - - -
Pilot: Uh, work? W-what are you talking about?
Hardison: Spot inspection. FAA. Now, look, I want to see this plane's TCAS, VRSM, and 8.1 FM spacing in operation to make sure it's fully functional and in compliance with the new FAA regulations.
Pilot: New regulations?
(Hardison takes out a pen and writes on a clipboard)
Hardison: Pilot unaware of latest regulations.
Pilot: Oh, the new regulations. Of course. Please, come this way. I'll take you right up.
Hardison: Oh, no, no. It's cool, it's cool. I don't need to go up. Just taxi me around the building.
Pilot: Taxi? I thought you need to get up in the air.
Hardison (writes on clipboard): Uncomfortable with black authority figures.
Pilot: Sir, please don't write that.
Hardison: Oh, I will write a letter to your mama if I feel like it.
Pilot: This way, please. It's in order. I-I promise. This way. It's okay. (to copilot) FAA, he's a hard-ass.
(copilot tries to get bags)
Pilot: Screw the bags. Let's go!
this was really funny but also SUCH A GOOD WAY to con people

quinn’s hair did nothing for him in this episode. i said what i said.
- - - - -
(Sophie and Nate get into his car and leave while Quinn continues to take pictures from the open door of the hanger. Eliot walks up behind him)
Eliot: I'm gonna count to three.
(Quinn turns and hits Eliot hard, knocking him across the floor)
Eliot: Nate, we're blown. W—
Nate: Eliot, what’s--
(several feet away, Eliot’s earpiece is lying on the floor. Eliot tries to scramble away, but Quinn kicks him in the ribs, throwing him back, and kicks him several times more)
Quinn: That rib's broken.
(Eliot manages to get to his feet)
Quinn: He said you'd be tougher than this.
quinn: *is a really good fighter*
eliot: *surprised pikachu face*
ALSO the reason eliot was beat up so bad in the beginning was because he kept on trying to get back to his comm every chance he got INSTEAD of truly fighting back. his first priority was warning his team over his own personal safety and ugh we stan a man who cares about his family
- - - - -
,,, imagine you’re driving on a highway and see a chick jump off a bridge onto an armored car, pick its lock and then BREAK INTO said armored car ,,, wyd
- - - - -
poor hardison was ready to relax ,,, he got a soda and made himself some popcorn too
- - - - -
(Quinn and Eliot both stand hunched over, breathing hard)
Quinn: Why won't you go down?
(Eliot laughs, blood falling from his mouth to the floor. Quinn comes at him again, but Eliot catches him and knees him in the chest several times before pushing him away. Quinn falls to his hands and knees, gasping for air)
Eliot: Now that rib's broken.
(Eliot hits Quinn in the face hard, sending him to the floor. Holding his ribs, Eliot walks to the earpiece and puts it in)
payback is sweet
- - - - -
Sterling: Mr. Spencer?
(Quinn is still unconscious as Eliot walks out the hanger doors, breathing hard, limping and holding his ribs)
Eliot: Hey, Sterling. I got some dental work with your name on it. What do you say me and you hook up so I can give it to you?
- - - - -
Sophie: Sterling knows us. He knows how we think.
Nate: So we think like somebody else
THEY THINK LIKE THEIR KIDS
- - - - -
Nate: With a couple broken ribs and a concussion, I don't think Eliot can take out six guys.
(Eliot looks like he’d give it a try)
Nate: You know, but then I thought, "what would Hardison do?"
(Hardison looks at Nate in surprise)
(Eliot pulls out his phone and accesses the computer system, sending a high pitched whine into the comm. devices of the guards. They all bend over in pain. Eliot punches the one closest to him. Nate grabs Geary and slams his head down on the table. Hardison hits another guard in the face with his tied hands)
THAT MEANS ELIOT WAS ALSO THINKING LIKE HARDISON IF HE KNEW WHAT TO DO WITH THE PHONE AND WAS READY FOR IT
also YEET hardison is a badass but wbk
- - - - -
(Parker runs for Sophie. Sterling and his men run for Sophie and Parker. Parker reaches Sophie first and the dive from the roof, Sophie screaming and Parker laughing all the way down)
parker is the only character I’ve ever seen that can scream “yeehaw” and “yahoooooo” without it sounding ridiculous
- - - - -
(Eliot walks into the lobby, holding his ribs. He turns to yell over his shoulder)
Eliot: Hardison!
(Eliot follows Nate toward the door)
Hardison (breathing hard): Wait, Eliot. Eliot, come on.
(Eliot goes back inside)
Eliot: You've got to be kidding me, man.
(Eliot goes to help Hardison carry the painting out)
Hardison: Bring it out, come on.
Eliot: This is just weird.
Hardison: I painted this
okay so we all know that hardison actually hit a lot of cash in the painting but also, eliot actually goes back to help instead of just rolling his eyes and leaving hardison behind. eliot can get annoyed with him but he’d never leave him behind. not even on day one when hardison fell in the exploding building in the nigerian job. eliot was there for him then and he will be there for him for the rest of their lives.
ALSO I really hope eliot got his ribs checked out sometime soon after

Sterling: You're fired. Dust the whole place for fingerprints, okay? I want a forensic computer spec—
(the monitors come to life, showing Hardison’s face)
Hardison: Hey, Sterling. Get out of my house.
(display changes to a 30 second clock that begins to count down)
Sterling: Run. Run!
(all of the men run from the office, coming out onto the street)
Geary: Maybe he was bluffing.
(the entire floor of the building explodes, shooting fire)
Sterling: That's the funny thing about con men. They don't bluff.

DDR
Summary: Your friend, Hoseok, wants to play Dance Dance Revolution, and you are not amused.
Genre: Fluff (with the littlest suggestion of smut)
Warnings: touching without explicit permission
a/n: My girl, @cheba-o, is having a bad day, and I don’t know how to do affection because I’m bad at being a human....so instead a wrote her a story based off a thing she said to me a couple of weeks ago. I’m weak and soft for Jung Hoseok wbk.
Word Count: 1542
“Oh! Let’s go over there!”
You look up to where the finger crossing your eye line directly in front of your face is pointing, and you reluctantly walk in that direction. The lights and sounds are overwhelming when you walk into the arcade. There are claw machines lining the front entrance, and then there are all kinds of games dispensing coins, tickets, flashing lights, bells, and dings. Your eyes widen as you look around the room trying to figure out which game you want to play first.
Your friend, Hoseok, marches past you directly to the back like he’s been here before and knows exactly what he’s looking for. Lining the back wall are several machines with pads on the floor with 4 bright arrows pointing in different directions and a large screen in front with scrolling arrows indicating which pad to step on, upbeat music blaring from the speakers on the sides. You roll your eyes as Hoseok dances up to the machine, the smile on his face so big it obscures his other features.
“No. Absolutely not,” you protest as he turns around as if suggesting you play the game. “I can’t dance. I don’t dance.”
“This isn’t dancing,” he says seriously. “This is following directions. There is very little rhythm needed for this, and the only coordination it requires is moving both your legs. You walked here, so I know you are capable.”
You pause for a moment, narrowing your eyes at the man before you, and you finally grumble, “fine.”
You step onto the little platform as Hoseok inserts the coin into the machine. When he turns around, he smiles at you and runs a hand through his hair. You feel a twinge of heat in your stomach watching him move, but soon your attention is drawn to the little screen, arrows rising slowly from the bottom toward the top.
You really are trying your hardest to hit the correct pads as they hit the arrows, but you keep missing or stepping on the wrong ones. The best comments you get are “OK!” and, even then, it’s rare. You are mostly just completely missing. You look over at Hoseok’s side, and he is hitting all of the arrows everytime. He’s greeted with “perfect!” “marvelous!” and “great!” over and over.
When the game ends, you receive a grade from the game: F. You cross your arms and grumble to yourself in a mocking tone “you don’t need to know how to dance. It only takes the coordination of walking.”
“Whoa, you were really bad at that!” Hoseok says, looking at your screen for the first time since the game started.
“Well, not all of us can be like you, Mr. dancer man,” you sling back, a little more aggressively than you want, immediately regretting your childish comeback.
You always wanted to do everything in your power not to hurt Hoseok. He had been your friend for years, and, even on your worst days, he was always kind and loving. He always came to your art shows, and you went to every single one of his dance performances. He gave the best gifts for birthdays and Christmas and friendiversaries. You were lucky to have a friend like Hoseok at all. Recently, you’d started to notice that every time he touched you, your stomach flipped, and you got excited when he called. You’re not sure when this started, but it was getting worse every day.
“I’m sorry,” you apologize moments after you say it, “I didn’t mean for that to come out in that tone. I just don’t think I’m coordinated enough for this game.” Truth be told, you were also a little embarrassed that Hoseok saw you fail so hard at something he felt required so little coordination and focus.
“Here, I’ll help you. Come on. We’ll do it again,” he says as he slides another coin into the machine and steps behind you on the platform.
He selects an easy song on the easiest mode, and, when the arrows start to move, he tells you where to step and when. Pretty soon you are getting the same “perfect!” responses that he was getting when he did it. The screen starts showing two arrows at the same time, and you jump when Hoseok’s hands land on your hips. You try to relax, but his touch feels like it’s burning your skin. He’s guiding your legs...kind of. He is squeezing the thigh of each leg when you need to move it.
And then...he isn’t. His hands are sliding up your thighs and hips and your waist, then back down again. His body is behind yours, swaying gently to the music. Your feet have stopped moving onto the pads, and the game is saying over and over “miss!” “wrong!” You couldn't care less about the game, when you have the feeling of his slender, sinewy frame against your body.
The game ends with a very loud *whompwhompwhomp* sound, and you are pulled out of the trance that Hoseok had you in. You clear your throat and move away from him a little bit. Your hand finds its way onto the back of your neck before you are finally able to look up and look at Hoseok.
His eyes are searching your whole body, and his gaze feels like it’s going to set you on fire. You have to break the tension, or you are going to combust on the spot.
“So, um, do you want to keep playing? Or just go back out to the mall?” you question, trying to act nonchalant even though your brain is screaming WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!
“Neither,” he says as he looks at you with a lowered gaze. His dark eyes are burning into you, and he steps closer to you. “Come home with me,” he says, standing closer to you than a friend should be.
“You drove me here; I have to,” you snark back, but it only comes out as a whisper because you are breathless from his proximity.
“That’s not what I meant, and you know it,” he responds, tucking a strand of hair behind your ear like some kind of goddamn romantic comedy. “Let me take care of you.”
You stand speechless for a moment, eyes wide, mouth open, arms hanging dumbly at your side. You don’t know what to say. Part of you wants to take him up on his offer so badly, and part of you knows that you will only be hurting yourself by hooking up with him. You can’t let yourself give in only to be rejected by him.
“Hobi...I don’t think so…” you trail off, teeth worrying your bottom lip, trying to find the right words without revealing too much.
“Oh, um, okay,” he says and shifts awkwardly.
“You just don’t know what it would mean to me, and I know I wouldn’t be able to handle it,” you assure him to try to ease his discomfort. You bring a hand to his forearm and squeeze three times, just like you’ve done while holding each other’s hands for years.
“I don’t know what it would mean to you? You don’t know what it would mean to me. You don’t know how much I’ve wanted to be with you for so long, but you’re always running around with someone else,” he rants, huffing and shoving his fists into his pockets, still not moving any further away from you.
“I was only with them to distract myself from you,” you mumble. But he heard it. He got the message loud and clear. His eyes are wide, and his breath is hot on your lips as he pulls you in, mouth hovering just over yours.
“I’m right here,” his lips brushing against yours as he says it.
The dings and music from the machines isn’t nearly as loud as your heartbeat. You finally give in and press your mouth against his, heavy with all the things that you haven’t said for months. His lips and tongue feel just as loaded as yours do. Your mouths are moving together, and your arms wrap around his neck and pull him closer to you. He has his hands on your back, your ass, your hips, your arms. His hands don’t stop moving and exploring every inch of you. You moan into his mouth, and he presses his body harder into you.
“Mommy! Those two people are eating each other’s faces!” you hear to the side of you, and you are ripped out of the moment with Hoseok. A little boy is standing pointing at the two of you, eyes wide as if he had, in fact, seen two people trying to each other’s faces.
Hoseok drops his hands to his side and laughs, and you step back. “No, buddy, we were just...playing a game…” you lie, face burning with embarrassment.
Hoseok slips his fingers between yours. He starts walking briskly, waving a mischievous little wave at the boy who had interrupted you as he drags you behind him. You giggle and ask where he’s taking you.
“I’m taking you home right now. I have years of time to make up for.” And he drags you giggling out of the arcade.

Photo
Okay so meeting them this time was an unreal experience and I’m shaking. We got to the venue around 5:30 and wasn’t inside until 8:30. Latin men are late, which they were about an hour behind tbh.
It was pouring rain but I made friends with other cncowners and that’s what I love about the fandom. One girl guessed I was a Richard and I’m like, “Damn how’d you know”
I’m gonna skip the nitty gritty like how I was fucking freezing, hungry (I hadn’t eaten much because I felt like I would vomit), and my feet sore because I was in heeled boots.
Also yes, they bought pizza for us but I wasn’t going to eat it in fear of pizza breath and being bloated.
When we got inside the venue, I took my mom, it was an intimate space. There were a bunch of rumors that we had to wear our jackets to take the pictures. But y’all I picked this outfit with the help of @yatusabess so I wasn’t gonna let it go to waste. Luckily, you could’ve left your things on the floor near the exit.
Also no phones. So if they saw you with your phone, you’d be kicked out of the line.
After setting all my stuff down, I had my photo of the basketball game on the ready.
Tóxica was playing on the loud speaker. Like okay, it’s not the best choice of hype song but it’s our boys so we stan.
Then we got closer to the front and Ya Tú Sabes starts playing, which slaps if you don’t listen to the lyrics.
Thankfully I actually know the lyrics.
Then I’m about two people behind from meeting them and the chorus hits so I’m dancing and singing. Ya Tú Sabes has that beat that’s so sensual?? I was just having fun to loosen the nerves.
Their videographer saw me dancing to the chorus and took video.
Then, Chris sees me and we’re kinda dancing together, pointing at each other and swaying our hips to the beat as though we were dancing with each other.
I swear it was like a Y/N moment we write about.
Here’s THE Christopher Velez just five feet away from me and we are matching the beat and not caring who’s watching us. Literally Ya Tú Sabes sounds like a bad bitch song so I’m feeling it and because I’m having fun with it, so is Chris.
Like I said before, thankful that Tóxica just finished playing because I can’t get down to that.
In fact, Chris got so distracted by our small dance party, he forgot he was supposed to be taking a picture with another fan and instead kept his eyes on me as we danced to Ya Tú Sabes.
In my head I’m thinking damn ok can we hit the clubs after this?? I don’t even wanna hook ups with you, I just want to have a good time.
One of the store managers is like “hug the first three, picture, then hug the last two.”
I’m just agreeing with her but highkey no one listens to that.
So now it’s my turn and I go to CHRIS and show him my picture. CHRIS takes the photo and is genuinely trying to recall the memory so I said, “I don’t know if you remember but we took this photo. My ex broke up with me because he saw it and turns out he was cheating on me.”
I was trying to be fast and coherent. When you’re at a M&G you have to utilize every second you have.
Now Chris and Erick are both staring at the photo then at me. Chris’ mouth is hung open trying to process what I said.
Erick takes hold of my right bicep and says, “Wait really?”
I remember this because in order to reply I had to look into those STUNNING JADE eyes!!
So I nodded, “Yes. Really. He BROKE up with me. But he was the one cheating all along.”
I’m so proud of Erick and how far he’s come to be a buy linguini king ✊🏼
Wbk but Erick is really fucking beautiful lol.
But then Alex, their security, is rushing us like “picture, picture” so I go to hug Zabdiel and Richard.
Richard cheek kisses me and hugs me like we’re best friends and he’s like “Hi baby.” Pretty sure the hug was longer than the other boys but that’s because I’m most comfortable with Rich.
Tbh what I remember about Richard was how firm his embrace was and feeling his lips against my cheeks. He was super chill.
I’m not.
I’ll rob a bank for that man.
The boys originally stood in a 5 line formation but none of them were paying attention to their managers or Alex and instead they broke formation to huddle around me and are talking to me.
CHRIS cuts in front of Erick and Zabdiel to ask, “Wait so you found out about him cheating because of us?”
I was prepping for the photo said, “Yeah and I’m so so thankful. You have no idea.”
Richard was all proud and piped up “Oh yeah! I remember that day and about your ex.”
He would remember because I met him in August and spilled everything back then. Rich was so cute when he said that like he was closer to me than the others.
Like we had a secret the others didn’t have.
It was funny to see how they all kinda competed over who remembered me and that game. When really it was probably Richard that recalled me most since I actually sat next to him and talked with him.
Honestly there were too many hands holding my own and lips on my cheeks to remember who did what and where.
But the first picture is taken. I remember a hand being outreached and I placed my own in it and whoever it was, gripped onto me tight. I got the photo and didn’t know I was holding Chris’ hand but damn, I felt loved.
FACTS THE BOYS SMELL WONDERFUL!!!
During the first picture, I really felt like I was on a cloud or something. They were all so soft and I was being surrounded by cozy hoodies and warm bodies.
I was hugging Richard again, he kisses my cheek. Richard consumes me like nobody’s business.
I know Joel said “Wait! I remember that day.”
I feel like Joel really wanted to be a part of the commotion and that was sweet.
Their videographer actually took photo or video of the basketball picture I brought them.
Now it was my mom’s turn for her picture. Her first language is Spanish so she’s talking to the boys in Spanish like it’s no big deal.
I’m standing between Joel and Richard. Richard turns to me like “Honestly, forget that N-word, I told you before.”
And I said “Yeah, I know.”
I appreciate Richard for the fact he’s ALWAYS taken the time to talk to me privately.
Even if it’s just for a moment, a second, Richuki has always made me feel seen and heard.
Back in August, even when they rushed him into the bus, he turned around to me to say “Move onto the next one.”
Then yesterday, as I was standing by him, he turns to me to reaffirm that I’ll be okay.
That I can move on.
My mom is talking in Spanish to Zabdiel and Erick, whom btw were mystified that my mom was speaking Spanish. I was watching Zabdiel’s face and he was tilting his head and nodding at my mom like she’s some sea creature at an aquarium.
My mom says she felt the boys wanted to ask how she knew Spanish but didn’t know how to approach the question.
As my mom is lining up for her picture, I asked Richard, “Can we do a proposal picture because that’s my mom?”
So he’s like “Sure what do you want me to do?”
Richard looked behind him and made sure there was enough room between him and Zab to actually do this photo.
Quickly, he grabs my hand and gets down on one knee.
I love how down he was for it. He didn’t hesitate or question anything, he just got to his knee and took my hands.
If you look at the progression of the photos, it’s my smiling mom totally unaware that her daughter is aboutta get proposed to. Richard is a little blurry because he’s getting on his knee and I look genuinely surprised that it’s happening.
Then my mom sees Richard, the second photo, and maybe it’s finally clicking.
The third photo, of course Richard is sticking his tongue out and my mom is hella shocked she just got a new son-in-law.
Richard said: Her last ex fucked up but it’s okay because she upgraded 😛
It was everything I wanted. I was surrounded by all the men we love, my mom was there, and it was professionally taken!!
Oh and as Richard was getting to his knee, the rest of the band, was making cooing noises.
I remember Joel because he was right next to us, going like “oh woah. Woah. Woah.” Hence why he’s making those 😱 face.
I think he’s the one that gets asked to “propose” most or so I’ve seen from the pictures. That’s why I think for Richuki to do it, the boys support.
Anyways, the boys are doing their typical hoot and holler.
And I’m fucking giddy af. Like pretty sure I blacked out. Just seeing Richuki and feeling his hands hold mine was so unreal.
They snap that photo and I’m absolutely so happy.
My mom says “I was getting ready for the picture and suddenly I see him get on his knees so I’m shocked. I had no idea he was gonna do that.”
Richard and Joel hug and kiss my cheeks again. We say, “bye” again. My mom goes to hug Richard and BYPASSES JOEL but Joel thought she was gonna hug him so I had to nudge her. Then she turns to Joel and they hug, it was actually cute.
Then security cuts off our bracelets and they say, “you should leave the photo for them.”
So I wrote a little note and left it with them.
If any of y’all get to meet them, my biggest advice is to have fun. You get back what you give into the M&G. It’s okay to be nervous but don’t let nerves run your experience. Be honest with them, talk about music, and just remember they’re people too.
Also etiquette, don’t shove your hands down their pants or tongue in their throats. There are some poses that are obviously more comfortable for the boys than others. I know we all want that picture perfect shot but I saw some pictures and the boys weren’t totally themselves.
That kind of discomfort translates into the final shot.
Finally, I wanna always thank the boys for everything they’ve done.
They helped me out of a bad relationship, they’ve given me a whole genre of music that’s extended my music library, and above all they gave me this CNCOwner family, that I couldn’t go a day without being a part of.
I’m eternally grateful for everyone here 😘💕💕
#idkk if anyone cares#but here's a breakdown of my experiences with the m&g yesterday!!!#love you all#cnco#richard camacho#erick brian colon#joel pimentel#zabdiel de jesus#christopher velez

FOLKLORE PREDICTIONS POST
the 1: I mean probably about Joe and how he is the one lover vibes but more poppy for the opening track
cardigan: COSY CITYYYYYYY possible about her mum?
the last great american dynasty: politics bbyyyyyyyy @noproofnotmuch I'm claiming her for you
exile (ft. bon iver): the main sound of the album, indie folk this one might be political too/black lives matter ?
my tears ricochet: track 5 - sad af wbk (also ricochet reminds of a song I wrote so I automatically love her)
mirrorball: (or is it mirrorhall?) all about how people view her/how she used to view herself vs how she sees herself now?
seven: MY TRACKKKKK I have no idea what it'll be tho maybe about when she was seven idk "once I was 7 years old" vibes lollll
august: this one is power ballad for joe. that's all.
this is me trying: ouch, vulnerable, piano kinda like clean? but sad
illicit affairs: no clue... maybe maybe idsb vibes???
invisible string: I LOVE THIS TITLE! probably about BMR and how they had her hooked into the label and then SOLD HER MASTERS
mad woman: "the man" vibes but way less poppy
epiphany: I LOVE THIS TOO daylight but with more of a beat?
betty: ughhhhh lads idk about this one it brings to mind an ed sheeran song if that makes sense?? Nancy mulligan yanno?
peace: I want to guess the lyrics "why can't we just have peace?" feeling helpless in times of war, uproar etc.
hoax: 100% about betrayal and how people are constantly lying and untrustworthy?
the lakes: the only bonus track... maybe this sounds weird but could be from the perspective of the lakes? Like the world used to just be beautiful and nature and then humans came along and messed it all up ^-^
@taylorswift @taylornation
CONCLUSION! I'm going to be wrong about all of these but I sense a cosy cottagecore vibe (think safe and sound - thats what the photoshoot reminds me of) but with the strong woman t has become coming out and standing against politics, blm and other injustices
*also there will be harp there will be harp there will be harp there will be harp there will be harp there will be harp there will be harp there will be harp* don't mind me - I'm manifesting :)
@taylorswift @taylornation

〚THIRTY NINE〛
Jungkook got confronted by Hoseok, Yoongi, and Namjoon a week later.
He was in the library during the study period, listening to Dolly Parton while doing math homework. Because nothing solved calculus like some good old country music! He was halfway done when he heard a clearing of a throat.
"Jeon." A voice came abruptly, and Jungkook took his earphone out and looked up, raising his eyebrow when he saw the three boys. Namjoon in his glasses, Yoongi with his disheveled shirt sticking out of his trousers, and Hoseok looking slightly nervous.
"What?" Jungkook asked, voice flat.
With everything that had been going on so far in the school year, three of his best friends suddenly shunning him and pretending like he never existed was one of the worst. He was close to them. Maybe not how close he was to Jimin, but it still counted.
They ate lunch together every single day. Jungkook used to help Yoongi with his Chemistry assignments. Hoseok used to call Jungkook 'Kookie Boy' and always grin when Jungkook scowled. Namjoon used to help Jungkook with his English homework, always ruffling his hair afterward.
To just... ignore him like that. To completely push him away and even actively make homophobic remarks towards him. It sucked.
"We wanted to talk to you." Hoseok stated, and Jungkook saw the orange haired boy and then bit his lip.
"Okay..." Jungkook trailed and then saw Namjoon sigh. "Jungkook- we came here to apologize. About being so... rude about the gay thing."
Jungkook stilled. He looked at them with widened eyes. Hoseok nodded. "We were assholes to you. You don't deserve that, Jungkook! I've been wanting to apologize for ages, honestly. It just... it occurred to us suddenly how badly we fucked up." Hoseok mumbled.
"Why now?" Jungkook asked, and then saw Yoongi give him a look.
"Yesterday at football practice- one of the guys made a homophobic comment towards Sehun. Sehun didn't say anything, but V got really mad and yelled at everyone. Said stuff about how we were being ignorant and shouldn't make jokes like these." Yoongi said, hands in pockets.
Jungkook stilled. "Oh." Jungkook said, looking down at his notebook.
"We're sorry. Truly. Jin also kind of beat our ass." Namjoon said, and Jungkook bubbled out a giggle. "So yeah. We don't expect you to forgive us-"
"I don't. Not instantly. But- but people make mistakes. And you guys are still young, so the earlier you decide to change, the better." Jungkook said, giving the boys a small smile. Hoseok and Namjoon smiled brightly, while Yoongi just gave him a small smile. "I forgive you guys."
"Yay!" Hoseok said, and then jumped into the seat beside him, startling Jungkook. "You look bored as fuck doing maths. Let me show you this new track the three of us have been working on-" Hoseok said, taking his phone out.
"You guys do music now?" Jungkook gasped, grinning. It made him realize he hadn't had a proper conversation with them for months. Random small words exchanged during classes and football practice didn't count.
"Yeah! We rap." Namjoon said, and Jungkook giggled. "Or at least we try to." Yoongi added.
"I'm sure you're great! Let me hear it-" Jungkook said, and then got lost in mindless chatter with the boys.

"10-minute water break!" Coach announced, and the boys scurried off the field and towards the benches to go drink water. Taehyung heard him, but didn't care. He glared at the red circle on the goal post in front of him. He needed to hit the target at least once.
Taehyung hit the ball hard, fast. All the boys watched as the ball went straight towards the center of the goal, but missed the target by half an inch. The boys all gasped at how close he was, but Taehyung groaned to himself, crouching down and breathing heavily.
"V go get water. Don't exert yourself," Coach said, and Taehyung grumbled under his breath and stood up to walk over to the benches. The boys were all talking. Taehyung picked his water bottle and squeezed it tightly, squirting the water into his mouth.
"That's what good pussy tastes like."
"God, shut up." Taehyung begged Jackson, who huffed and turned away.
"Are you guys going for that Spring Prom shit?" Yoongi asked the guys, who hummed, some sounding annoyed. "Yeah. My girlfriend's making me. I rather stay in and fuck, but-"
"Tell me about it, bro. Talked to this girl one fucking time and suddenly I'm her boyfriend. She's making me go too. But we might have sex after, so I'm doing it." Another guy said.
"I'm going with Jungkook." Sehun said off-handedly, looking into space. Taehyung ignored how those simple words made it feel like someone straight up STABBED him.
"Dude... y'know ever since I've stopped thinking being gay was weird.... I realized liking dudes isn't much different than liking girls. Like, there are some dudes who are like... hella cute and shit. But I don't wanna date 'em. Y'know?" Jackson voiced. The boys snickered, some grimaced as if saying we don't know.
"You're probably just bicurious." Taehyung mumbled, and the guys looked at him, saw him wiping his sweat off with a towel. "Like you're straight but are into having sex with dudes too."
"Woah. That's a thing? Holy shit, I've been confused as fuck these past few weeks." Jackson gasped, and Taehyung hummed.
Sehun suddenly got up and left. Taehyung ignored him. He heard a gasp. "What does it mean if I like dick in my mouth?"
"You're fucking gay Bambam."
"Would you guys ever hook up with a dude? Like, for experimentation and shit?" Namjoon asked.
Jimin hummed. "Yeah. I wouldn't mind. How do I know I don't like it if I've never tried it?"
"Just like I know I wouldn't like your mom's pussy in my face."
"Fuck you."
"I guess I'd only hook up with a dude if I was really really into him. Not just like that." Mark mumbled, sounding weary.
"What about you, V?" Jin asked, looking at him. Taehyung looked at him, casually. He opened his mouth to speak. Right when he was about to-
"Guys Jungkook got us cookies," Sehun said brightly.
Taehyung didn't hear. "Nah I'd never fuck a dude. That's fucking gay, bro. I'm not into that kind of-"
Jimin coughed VERY loudly. Taehyung turned and saw Jungkook right behind him. Taehyung widened his eyes.
"Oh." Taehyung let out. Jungkook looked in disbelief. Taehyung's breath hitched. "Hey, um-"
"Seriously?" Jungkook asked, voice small. "Still?"
"Jungkook-" Taehyung tried, but Jungkook just snickered humorlessly and then moved away from Taehyung, grabbing Sehun.
"Meet me after practice." Jungkook said softly, and then kissed him on the mouth and turned around by the hell, walking away. Taehyung saw him walking away and sighed.
Jimin walked up to Taehyung after Sehun walked away, oblivious. Jimin looked at Taehyung. "How the fuck do you further fuck up something already so fucked up?"
"I don't know." Taehyung breathed out, and Jimin just shook his head, letting the boy deal with this mess himself. Taehyung saw Jungkook walk off the field as if he was disappointed, but not surprised.
"Boys, back on the field. Last one here has to take 3 laps-" Coach began, and all the boys got up and ran. Taehyung walked slowly, knowing he'd end up doing laps anyway because he stays back after practice to practice more these days.
"Okay boys. We've been target practicing to perfect our kick. And, I'll be honest, ya'll suck." Coach said, and the boys hung their heads low. "Like WOW. None of you hit the target even ONCE."
Taehyung pushed past the group of boys huddled in a circle and faced the open goal post which had the red circle in front of it. Still? Jungkook's words rang in his head. Taehyung saw the ball in front of it, and then took a few steps back.
Taehyung clenched his jaw and locked his ankle, eyes boring into the ball in front of him. He took a chaste step forward, hitting his planter foot to the right of the ball. His foot needed to control how the ball moved, rather than letting the ball control his foot-
Taehyung kicked the ball forcefully, feeling the power gliding smoothly down his calf to his foot as it merged with the ball and sent it spiralling towards the net. It hit the target perfectly.
The boys saw that and started clapping and shouting, some telling the coach that he took the L. Coach watched Taehyung and smirked, and Taehyung turned around and saw the boys.
"You're seriously as good as the pros," Youngjae said excitedly.
"We're so going to win our next match!" Hoseok said, jumping up and down.
Sehun suddenly shouted. Everyone froze and looked at him. Sehun groaned, putting his hands on his face.
"What're you doing, Coach?" Sehun asked, voice low. "Why'd you make me Captain?" Sehun asked wearily. Everyone widened their eyes, and Taehyung tensed.
"You alright kid?" Coach asked, and Sehun shook his head. He shook his head and then reached his hands behind his back and took his jersey off. He took the red material off and then chucked it on the floor.
"I don't want to be captain anymore. Not when V's clearly so much fucking better than me. It's not fair to him nor to the team." Sehun snapped, and Taehyung was frozen, eyes wide.
"Oh." Taehyung breathed out. Sehun was shirtless now, and breathed heavily. "I don't want to take something away from someone if it clearly belongs to them. And the position of Captain clearly belongs to you," Sehun said, and picked his jersey up and handed it to Taehyung.
"This is... really. Really fucking sick, dude." Taehyung said softly, in awe. "Fuck. I could kiss you right now." Taehyung grumbled to himself.
"R-really?" Sehun asked, eyes growing wide, glittering, cheeks turning a bit pink. Taehyung frowned at that.
"What? No. It was a fucking hyperbole- anyways! Thank you, Sehun. But I don't think Coach can-" Taehyung began, and then he heard a groan.
"Come on, coach! V should be Captain again! He's nice now, too! He apologised to Youngjae."
"He did WHAT?! Holy shit, he has changed!" Coach gasped, and then looked at Taehyung, who was gulping. "Look, kid. I have to discuss this with the principal-"
"Becoming Captain would help me get into a good school, coach." Taehyung said softly, hands coiled, eyes big. He reminded the coach of the kid he met four years ago, with ruffled brown hair and big brown saddened eyes, just sticking through because of the determination and passion he had for football.
"Jeez. Okay, um- I'll hold a vote tomorrow. After discussing it with the principal." Coach promised, patting Taehyung's back. "Now get back to practice!"
Taehyung smiled, and looked at Sehun, snickering. "You taking your shirt off was useless, by the way. This jersey has your name on it. Plus I still have my Captain's jersey-"
"It still made the statement though- you can't deny that." Sehun said, and then tugged his jersey back on.
"Thanks." Taehyung mumbled, looking away. He could never looked someone in the eyes while saying something nice to them.
"No problem. Consider it an apology for what I did... before." Sehun mumbled, and then chuckled awkwardly and ran away, flustered. Taehyung sighed to himself, coiling his fists.
I'm in love with your boyfriend, Taehyung wanted to shout out. But he didn't. Instead, he felt something. Certain confident courage he'd always had coursing through his veins.

"I'm sorry," Taehyung said two days later to Jungkook, who he found alone in the washroom, standing in front of the mirror.
"I'm not the person you should be apologizing to." Jungkook said softly, and then turned around and walked away- and that was the only interaction they had.
And then two days after that, Taehyung lifted his head up and saw Jungkook standing in front of his food table.
"Yourself. Apologize to yourself." Jungkook stated simply. Taehyung was confused, but Jungkook turned around and left, leaving him like that, with only those few words to hang on by.
The week passed like that. With a certain fog in Taehyung's mind. He thought about what Jungkook said. Apologize to yourself. He didn't quite understand. He wanted to know more, but Jungkook did tell him to leave him alone.
Taehyung saw Jungkook by the lockers and walked up to him, opening the locker beside him (even though it was Yoongi's, but, whatever) and hesitated.
"Why can't things go back to normal?" Taehyung asked aloud.
"I don't know what normal is with you." Jungkook said, and then walked past him. Taehyung closed his locker in front of him, leaning against it and sighing out.
Their next conversation was the night before the prom.
"Will you ever forgive me for hurting you?" Taehyung asked, standing by the water fountain. Jungkook was also by the water fountain, and Taehyung saw his fingers tighten around the ceramic sink.
"I already have." Jungkook breathed out softly, and then leaned down to the water fountain to get water between his pretty lips.
"Why're you with Sehun?" Taehyung asked, puzzled, leaning against the pillar which was attached to the water fountain/
"I like him."
"You don't."
"You sound quite certain for someone who's so shit with their feelings." Jungkook said sharply, and then brought his head up to look at Taehyung, who had a blank expression on his face. "Sorry," Jungkook said quicker, turning around and walking away, again.
The night of the prom arrived.
Taehyung stood in front of his mirror, looking at himself. He was wearing a white shirt, sleeves rolled to his elbows, making his veins prominent. Along with that, he wore black trousers. It was simple, but honestly, he was only going because Yoongi promised he'd give him weed after.
He heard a sharp knock on the door. Taehyung was confused as to who would come to his dorm, and opened the door, and saw Eka and Jimin. Taehyung's eyebrow rose at them.
"You guys look good. Shit, is it so fancy?" Taehyung asked, annoyed. Eka was wearing a tight silver dress, short and lifting her boobs up, her eyeliner sharp and lipstick black. Jimin had his hair swept back, showing his forehead. He was wearing a red suit.
"It is. You're not wearing that." Eka said, turning Taehyung around and pushing him into his bedroom.
"I literally don't give a fuck about this prom. I'm single and sad and want to get high." Taehyung protested.
"What the fuck is on your head," Jimin stated while looking up at Taehyung. Taehyung sighed. "It's a Gucci headband. I like wasting my dad's money."
"Understandable. Put this on." Eka said, having opened Taehyung's closet and taken out a black suit jacket. She handed it to Taehyung, who rolled his eyes and shrugged the suit jacket on.
"Here." Jimin said, picking out a Rolex watch from his desk and handing it to him. Taehyung wrapped it around his wrist, and then snickered to himself. "What?" Jimin asked, and Taehyung shook his head.
("You look hot as fuck in a suit." Jungkook said, eyes wide as he wrung his fingers around Taehyung's wrist. "C-can you fuck me with it on?"
"I can and I will.")
"Nothing. Just reminiscing the past." Taehyung said, and Eka huffed. "Dramatic bitch. Now come on." Eka said, walking out of Taehyung's dorm.
"You look hot as fuck, Eka." Taehyung said, putting his hands in his pocket. "In a friend kinda way."
"Thanks. I know." Eka said, and Taehyung snickered. Jimin eyed him and glared. Taehyung rolled his eyes.
They walked to the sports hall, where the Spring Prom was taking place. The student council went overboard with this Prom stuff. Decorating the hallways weeks before. Putting big banners which said 'SPRING PROM!' on them. Announcing it every goddamn day on the speakers.
When they walked into the sports hall, they saw it completely decorated. The sides of the walls were lined with paper mache trees which had pink blossoms on it. It looked pretty. Taehyung couldn't remember what the room looked like before, in fact. The tables on the side were lined with food and drinks. No alcohol, but someone always snuck it in. Teachers stood by the side, talking to themselves and looking around to make sure no one was doing anything wrong. There was a stage against the wall, some music nerds standing on it, playing music for the event. Everyone who went to the school was there, practically. People were dancing, talking with their friends, or just having a good time.
"Wow," Eka murmered, and the three walked into the room, looking around. Taehyung was bored already. "Why'd you guys come to my room by the way? Did you, like, know I was going to underdress?"
"No. You've just been upset for the past few... weeks. We were making sure you were actually coming. Yoongi told us about how he made you believe he had weed-"
"He was lying? Motherfucker. I'm leaving." Taehyung said, turning around sharply. The moment he did, he froze.
Jungkook stood by the entrance, looking around with his big curious eyes. He looked nervous, palpable hesitance showing from his stance. He was wearing a silky white shirt which was tucked into his tight black trousers, accentuating his waist. He wore a floral suit jacket and a choker.
"Wow," Taehyung let out this time, already feeling his insides going weak. Taehyung didn't see Eka and Jimin beside him give each other a knowing look, and then look ahead at Jungkook, who spotted the three.
"Hi!" Jungkook said, smiling and running up to them, looking less tense when he saw them. "Y-you said to meet me by the entrance." Jungkook said softly.
Taehyung wanted to give him a thousand kisses. "Sorry, Kookie. We came in. Doesn't this place look beautiful?" Jimin asked.
"Yeah! They're really going deep with this spring theme thingy," Jungkook giggled. Taehyung wanted to give him a million kisses now.
Jungkook looked at Taehyung, and tensed. Taehyung didn't know why. It was probably his presence. So Taehyung just gave the boy a small smile and turned around to walk away and find the other guys.
Jungkook, meanwhile, let out a small sigh. "He looks so good." Jungkook murmered to himself, voice gentle. "I wish he didn't."
"I know, baby. Don't think about him, okay?" Eka said, and Jungkook nodded. "Where's Sehun?" Eka asked, looking around.
"I'm here, bitches." Sehun said, and Jungkook looked at him and then rose his eyebrows. Sehun was in a bright blue suit and a black shirt and tie, smirking at them.
"Hey babe," Jungkook said to Sehun, who walked over to him, leaning down to kiss his mouth. Jungkook turned his head so Sehun could kiss his cheek instead. Sehun did, and then leaned back, scowling.
"You look... nice." Jungkook said.
"You too." Sehun mumbled. Jimin sighed, breathing out from the heavy tension in the room.
"Wow. Okay- um! Let's dance!"
The four began dancing away. Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa, and Rose joined the four, along with Yugyeom and Bambam. Jimin looked to Rose with a small smile, dancing closer to her. Jungkook was having fun, until he felt his hips being grabbed.
Jungkook got dragged to a body, and then realised Sehun had his chest pressed against his back. "You look pretty." Sehun said, kissing his neck, rolling his hips onto his back. Jungkook smiled at him, dancing back.
Sehun turned the boy around and then grabbed his waist. He reached down, kissing Jungkook's lips. Jungkook pulled away and then looked to the other side so Sehun wouldn't do that again.
"What's wrong?" Sehun asked, frowning. Jungkook shook his head, giving Sehun a smal smile. "Nothing," Jungkook reassured, putting his hands on Sehun's arms.
Jungkook looked to the side and saw Taehyung, leaning again a wall, sulking. Taehyung shifted his eyes around the room and then caught them with Jungkook's. Jungkook felt Sehun tighten his grip on his waist, and Jungkook just looked at Taehyung.
Sehun kissed Jungkook's jaw. "Do you wanna go to my room after this?"
Jungkook saw Taehyung give him a certain look. Jungkook wanted to move his eyes away, but couldn't. Suddenly, he felt a jolt through his body and turned his head, eyes widened when he was pushed back.
"What's your problem?" Sehun snapped, and Jungkook stilled. Sehun looked annoyed, eyes darkened, eyebrows furrowed.
"Nothing! I-" Jungkook began, but then saw his friends looking at the two weirdly. Sehun must've seen the same, because he grabbed Jungkook by the forearm and dragged him out of the sports hall.
Jungkook stumbled after him. "Se-Sehun-" Jungkook said, and then suddenly felt a shift as he moved out of the loud pink lightened room into the dark, vacant hallway. Sehun pulled him till the side and then let him go.
"What is it? You've been weird since we started dating- so fucking on and off. One second you want me, and another you're weirded out and want me to go away. I'm just trying to wrap my fucking head around all this, Jungkook- because- because you say you want me, but-"
"I'm sorry, o-okay? There's just a lot of things that have been going on-" Jungkook stammered.
"Then talk to me about them! I've asked you to at least try and open up to me so many times! But you just refuse to! Is it something wrong with me?" Sehun asked, frowning.
"N-no. No, you're perfect-" Jungkook said softly.
Sehun looked helpless. "Then what is it? Why did you get back together with me if you were going to treat me like shit after? You were so rude to me, and don't even talk to me sometimes when we're with Eka and Jimin. It's really awkward, Jungkook, to pretend I'm alright-"
"I'm sorry!" Jungkook cried out, and then stopped, looking at Sehun with watery eyes. The way Sehun was describing him reminded Jungkook of Taehyung.
"I-I'm sorry for- for being so weird. I just- I-I don't know, Sehun. I want to like you, I r-really do. I just can't fucking get over someone and it's r-ruining everything for me. I'm sorry." Jungkook let out, voice bubbly, as if close to crying.
Sehun tensed, and then looked down at his shoes, gulping a lump in his throat. "It's V, isn't it?"
Jungkook began crying, reaching his hands to his face to stop them, to try his hardest to stop them. Jungkook shook his head. "N-no. I don't- I am over him. I am."
"You like him." Sehun said, looking away. "He likes you too-"
"No Sehun. He d-doesn't. He just wants to have sex with me, that's all-" Jungkook tried, but Sehun snickered, looking away.
"That night. That night when we first had sex. When you left suddenly to comfort V- did you two do anything?" Sehun asked, fingers coiled. Jungkook sniffled. "Because the next day you were all fucking over him-"
"Sehun-"
"So he wants you for sex, huh? And you're still hung over him? Even though you have guys who like you for you?" Sehun asked, and Jungkook looked down, clenching his fists and shutting his eyes. "That's pretty fucking pathetic, Kook."
"I know. Stop telling me, p-please." Jungkook tried, and Sehun tsked.
"I don't want to be rude. You just made me feel so fucking shit for the past few weeks. If you just told me I was a fucking rebound for an asshole-"
"Y-you w-weren't-"
"-I wouldn't have ever asked you out. You probably just did it to make him jealous. I'm so fucking stupid." Sehun muttered under his breath, looking away. "Well, honestly- I don't care much. You're hung over a dude who's probably going to slap you across the face when you say no to him-"
"He wouldn't!" Jungkook cried, tears rushing down his face. Sehun looked at him, pausing. "H-he wouldn't fucking do that! You don't know him, no one does! I don't either, o-okay? I thought I did- I-I thought I knew him, b-but I don't! And I'm still in love with him, i-is that what you want me to tell you?" Jungkook shouted, voice breaking.
"I f-fell in love for a guy who doesn't give ha-half a shit about me. And I'm sorry." Jungkook squeaked out weakly. Sehun let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. Jungkook felt the warm tears running down his face and put his hand over his mouth, shoulders trembling.
"I'm sorry. I-I need to go. I'll ask Jimin and Eka to come here-" Sehun said, and Jungkook didn't care, just slid down the wall, sitting down on the floor like the fucking mess he was- tears running down his face.
Jungkook sat there for a bit, crying softly. He felt the same feeling he had back when Taehyung told him he didn't mean anything to him. When Jungkook found him sleeping with Eka, and Taehyung slammed the door in his face. So fucking hurt.
"Kookie," A soft voice came, and Jungkook looked up.
Taehyung had his eyes big, looking at the pretty boy on the floor, tears in his eyes and stains of it weaving a path down his cheeks. Taehyung had one hand in his pocket, heart thudding as he crouched down to face him.
"K-Kookie, you-"
"Don't." Jungkook said, and then closed his eyes. Taehyung didn't push him. He just looked at him. "P-please. Leave me be."
"Not when you're like this, I can't." Taehyung said softly.
"God f-fucking damnit, Taehyung- stop pretending you c-care about me! You'll j-just lead me on to hurt me again. You don't know how I felt for those two months w-we spent together, Tae. You don't. Just. Please go." Jungkook said meekly, sniffling and looking up at the ceiling.
"I-I do care." Taehyung said, but he sounded hesitant, and it made Jungkook chuckle.
"You still think you're straight, Tae." Jungkook let out, voice weak. "You're far from being able to care about me."
Taehyung froze. He looked at Jungkook, who stood up from the floor, eyes slightly red from the tears. Taehyung's breath hitched, and then he let out- "I-I'm so fucking scared, Kookie. I'm not as- as brave as you. I never will be."
"T-then come meet me when you are." Jungkook stated, and then left, leaving Taehyung in the hallway.
Jungkook walked back in the sports hall, probably to tell Jimin and Eka of where he was, they were probably worried. Taehyung tightened his fists. He couldn't describe it. Couldn't describe the absolute fear that reaped through his body at the thought of-
At the thought of what?
Was it of everyone finding out?
Was that what he was afraid of?
Or was it something bigger than that? His mother, his father, what they'd taught him. What his mother had left him with. That fear that he was doing what she would've resented.
But at the fleeting moment, at that split second, that passing of time when the moon glowed outside like a watchful guardian- Taehyung realized. He rose to his feet, standing up. His heart drummed loudly against his chest, as if on beat, heightening his senses and telling him to hurry up. He was running out of time.
Taehyung took a step forward, towards the sports hall. Jungkook. His beautiful eyes, how they looked like they'd been dipped in honey and the core of sunlight. How his giggles sounded like that of harmonious angels. How his smile would always make Taehyung feel so much... better.
Something he hadn't felt since his mother had died. A sense of belonging. Home.
Taehyung walked towards the sports hall and entered it, seeing people still dancing, some chill song playing. Taehyung couldn't find Jungkook. His heart was racing. His anxiety was brimming at the bottom of his stomach.
He felt, at that moment, like he could do anything.
Taehyung felt absolute impulse take him over. Adrenaline started pumping down his body, the same he felt at football matches. This felt like a football match, except the goal was something different, and his aim was fucking terrible.
Taehyung let go. He ran straight forward and jumped onto the stage, startling the dudes in the band. They all looked at Taehyung, who carelessly grabbed the microphone from the lead singer, some kid from the grade below. The kid looked annoyed, but Taehyung mumbled "It'll only take a minute."
The band stopped playing, and everyone groaned, annoyed that the music stopped. Taehyung cleared his throat into the microphone, and then took a deep breath. "Shut up!" Taehyung shouted loudly, and everyone in the room shook.
Everyone went silent and turned to look at him with wide eyes, as if wondering why the fuck he was yelling while standing on a stage. Taehyung looked around, and then spotted Jungkook. The boy was facing away, grabbing his phone and trying to walk over to the exit.
"Wait." Taehyung said, and Jungkook paused and looked at him, a blank expression on his face. He looked annoyed.
Taehyung looked around. "Hi guys." Taehyung said, seeing all these kids he'd seen every day for the past three years. "This- this prom is cool, right? Like the- um- flowers and stuff." Taehyung stammered, and then cleared his throat.
"Okay. Hello. I've never formally introduced myself. Most of you know me as V. Captain of the football team." Taehyung said, and saw Sehun in the back of the room, frowning as well. Taehyung took a deep breath, seeing all the students looking at him with wide eyes. "But- but most of you don't know my real name."
Taehyung gulped. "I'm Taehyung. Kim Taehyung." Taehyung said, and there was a hushed whisper that fell across the room. He'd never said his full name out loud like this.
"Most of you know me as that asshole that bullies you, probably. Fair enough. I've made mistakes. A lot of them." Taehyung said. "I don't expect to be forgiven. I just want you to know I'm trying. And I'm changing, and growth is- is normal. It's normal." Taehyung said, nodding.
Everyone looked confused, still. They wanted to start dancing again, probably. But most actually looked intrigued, never having seen the guy speak more than 3 words at best which weren't insults.
"I'm standing here right now because I made a mistake. A really big one." Taehyung said, shaking his head. "I hurt someone. Badly. I hurt someone over and over again, and I shouldn't have. By the time I realized how much the person meant to me, it was too late." Taehyung mumbled, and everyone looked more confused.
Taehyung looked around, and then spotted Jungkook standing beside his friends, just the hint of confusion on his face. Not like the others, though. A more of disbelief.
Taehyung scratched his head, and then sighed loudly. "God, there's so many of you. I swear it's like the new crop of freshmen are, like, so goddamn small. I was so much taller when I was your age, what the hell-" Taehyung mumbled, and then looked around, hearing some laughs.
"I'm rambling, fuck. Shit! Sorry, forgot I couldn't swear. Ah damn, I swore again. Fuck-" Taehyung began, and then hit his head with the mic, and looked ahead, taking a deep breath.
Fuck it. Nothing matters. Not as much as him. Nothing has ever mattered as much as he has. "I'm sort of in love with someone." Taehyung let out, and there were gasps that spread across the room.
Taehyung couldn't see Jungkook's eyes- didn't want to, in fact. "I'm sort of, really, really fucking madly in love with someone. And that someone is standing here right now, and god-" Taehyung let out a chuckle, covering his face. "You'd never think I'd be the type to- to stand on a goddamn stage in the middle of what looks like actual fairy shit and confess my love to someone, but-"
Taehyung looked ahead, and then found Jungkook. Jungkook had his eyes widened, mouth slightly agape. Taehyung smiled. "You change me." Taehyung said, words soft. "You m-make me... a better version of myself. I'm not mean when I'm with you. I'm not sad. I'm not an asshole. You make me study harder, you make me play harder, you make me... harder." Taehyung said the last part, and then started laughing.
"Shit- I just realised there's, like, 200 other people in here. I'm kidding! Don't have sex till marriage! Or, do. I don't know. Sorry Ms. Yang!" Taehyung said, and everyone started laughing. Fuck, he was going crazy. He couldn't get a hold of himself, but suddenly- suddenly it felt like he was so free. So free, so free from everything that's ever been holding him back-
"You know what else?" Taehyung asked, looking around the room. "I'm bisexual!" Taehyung shouted out, and everyone shut up real fast.
Literally EVERYONE's eyes widened and jaws dropped. Girls he'd slept with looked surprised, guys he'd bullied looked mad, people who didn't know him looked shocked. His own friends looked the most shocked.
"Yeah! I like girls, and I like guys. And there's nothing wrong with that. Like, at all. Wow. Oh my god. I said it out loud." Taehyung let out, whispered. "Fuck, okay. Shit. Yeah. It's out there. I'm bisexual. I'm bi-fucking-sexual. I'm so fucking bisexual. Wow. WOW-"
"Dude. The teachers are gonna cut the sound off any minute. Stop swearing." The lead singer dude whispered, and Taehyung nodded.
"Oh- okay okay. Sorry. No more swearing." Taehyung agreed, and then looked ahead and saw Jungkook standing behind Jimin, looking nervous, eyes wide, hands bunched up into fists.
Taehyung looked around. "I've never spoken so much. I just- I can't believe this. I feel so free, y'know? Like- like I'm high as hell, but sober. Not that I know what being high feels like, Ms. Yang don't worry." Taehyung reassured, laughing.
"Who are you in love with?" A voice shouted from the audience, and Taehyung looked.
Taehyung gulped. He leaned into the mic. "A boy." He whispered, and gasps spread across the room again. Taehyung giggled at how surprised everyone looked. "I'm so in love with him, you guys. He's the prettiest boy in the whole goddamn world. Maybe universe. Haven't seen aliens yet. Actually- scratch that. He's the prettiest boy in the universe."
Jungkook hid behind Jimin properly now, hands covering his face, his whole body trembling lightly. Taehyung gulped. Here goes.
"I'm Kim Taehyung." Taehyung said, voice clear. "I'm bisexual." Taehyung said, and then smiled. "And I'm so goddamn in love with Jeon Jungkook."
People literally started screaming. Jungkook squeaked out in surprise and got pushed out into the center by Jimin and Eka, who both looked thrilled as hell. Jungkook still had his face covered, because everyone was looking at him, eyes wide, mouths wider.
"He's WHAT?!" Yoongi shouted from the side, slapping a hand over his mouth.
"Oh my fucking god." Jin whispered, eyes wide. "Oh my god oh my GOD-"
"Guys someone drugged Taehyung and put him on that stage." Namjoon said. It was the only explanation.
"This is brilliant." Yugyeom whispered, eyes glazed. Bambam grimaced. "I fucking knew it. He always looked at him weird."
Taehyung looked at Jungkook, heart racing rapidly, stomach making a thousand turns a second. "Baby?" Taehyung said softly, not caring how that made everyone go even more in shock. "I-I can see you, you know that, right?" Taehyung chuckled fondly.
Jungkook put his hands down, blushing brightly. His eyes were filled with tears, fists clenched beside him. People had moved out of the way, so there was a clear spacing between the stage and where Jungkook was stood, so the boys could see each other clearly.
"Jeon Jungkook." Taehyung whispered into the mic. "I know- I know I'm the biggest douchebag you ever met. I hurt you. I was an asshole." Taehyung said, suddenly growing fearful. "I'm so fucking sorry, baby." Taehyung said, voice weak.
Jungkook just sniffled from where he was stood, cheeks so pink and fists so tightly clenched that he couldn't speak. Everyone was staring between him and Taehyung in awe, surprised, shocked, just couldn't believe that V, the homophobic fuck boy captain of the football team- was out here passionately declaring his love for a boy.
"R-right before I got on this stage, I thought about how you came out to everyone. Always so ridden by impulse, my Jungkookie," Taehyung said with a small fond smile, and people aww'ed. Jungkook bit his lip, looking down.
"So, I'm going to ask this. I'm really really really fucking scared." Taehyung admitted, and then took a deep breath, and closed his eyes.
Be brave. Taehyung opened his eyes. "Jeon Jungkook?" Taehyung whispered, voice barely coherent. "Will you be my boyfriend?"
