LAUNDRY DAY

a/n: I AM ALLIVEEEEEEE 🔥🔥🔥🔥 sorry i had a crazy week! can be read as a standalone piece but based off gojo’s roommate au of here and here / tagging @jabamin @hyomagiri @utahimeow @lov3rbody ☆

living with you was hard. brushing his teeth with you was hard. being around you — hard. both figuratively and—

there’s a loud sigh from you.

clearly tired from the day’s activities of ushering in freshman after freshman, you lugged your body into the bathroom. the same rehearsed words have been leaving your mouth as your cheeks hurt more and more by the hour, only to repeat it all over again the next day.

“you look like shit,” it’s muffled by the way the toothbrush is stuffed into his mouth, foam peeking out from the corners of his mouth and you’re trying not to tell your roommate (and boyfriend) to shut up — you didn’t have the energy to do, much less say anything and you certainly didn’t have time for your lover’s clever quips so late in the night.

it didn’t help that you recently had an argument too; well, trivial to him but much more major to you. it was a matter of getting gojo to keep his laundry properly and to clean up after himself once he’s gotten himself comfortable in the relationship. it’s not like he doesn’t want to — he was cleaning up in the first place to impress you — but now since he’s got you, it’s like he simply expects you to act as his little wife when it was a shared space. the exact argument you used against him.

“satoru— this is a shared apartment! you can’t just leave tteokbokki cups lying around with the gochujang sauce still inside! it’s going to attract cockroaches and ants!” you gesture wildly, the sheer amount of trash lying around making you even sicker than you thought possible. getting paid to usher in freshmen and then coming home to this? it felt like every cent of your hard work had gone to waste.

there’s only a grin on his face, “you’re so attractive when you’re mad, baby.”

that was another thing: the lack of seriousness that gojo possessed at times, simply talking to piss you off, simply living to be the bane of your existence. “and you’re fucking unbelievable, gojo satoru. clean up— or don’t,” you made sure to lace that last word with venom, “i don’t care.”

that seemed enough for gojo to snap out of his stupor, “no, no— princess, fuck, i’m s—” his brows furrow when he briefly spots the thickening glaze of your eyes, possibly filling with tears before you’re marching into your room to slam the door and he swears to himself. satoru had never felt embarrassment and shame and sadness like that day; having just taken a shower but his skin was sweaty and uncomfortable and his heart sat right at his feet.

gojo swears he never wants to hear you say his full name ever again.

since then, it’s been a little tense between the two of you. geto had noticed it on movie night, shoko realised you haven’t been looking at your phone as often. hell, even prof. yaga had to tell you that you were distracted way too much lately, and it’s only been two days.

satoru tried to possibly take back what he said with whatever powers he didn’t possess, but he only gets another sigh from you as you squeeze the toothpaste out and start brushing your teeth, not even sparing him one glance in the mirror.

and yet while he was the first one to start his nightly routine, he’s left to be the last again from the way he’s unable to stop staring at you, a recurring trait of his whenever you were in the same room with him. it’s a testament of how attracted he was to you — at how his shirt slips off your shoulder from how big it was because even when you were mad at him, you forgot about that little detail. gojo’s eyes trail from your exposed shoulder to your legs and back up again to your fatigued face. he skims over the shape of your eyes and down to your nose and he thinks he’s the luckiest man to be brushing his teeth beside you now, blessed with seeing such an intimate side of you even if it’s as simple as this.

until gojo’s eyes fall upon your mouth as your toothbrush is doing its job of perfect innocence, cleaning some teeth, scraping off the bacteria on your tongue, except when you’re switching it from side to side all your roommate can think about if it was his dick instead. and the thought leaves him as fast it comes.

all you do is shoot him a weird look through the mirror when gojo exclaims like he was a vampire whose skin burned under the bathroom lighting, and he regains composure with ease.

“i’m fine! fine. doing a-okay.” satoru speaks through the foam and it’s spraying everywhere and you’re too tired to care before you hear another gulp when you move your toothbrush again, “sorry! sorry— continue please.”

gojo is starstruck for an entirely different reason, now, watching the toothbrush making bulges at the side of your mouth as it moves in and out and he’s left to fantasise about the many, many times you’ve gotten him in you and the warmth of everything. he can feel himself get hard under his sweatpants when you start brushing your tongue and you gag and he wants to die standing in this 30 square foot bathroom because the last thing he wants to do is sexualise something perfectly mundane.

gojo isn’t like that (well, most of the time. can’t blame him for finding you smokin’ hot).

“what the fuck is your problem?” you’re speaking through your foamy mouth now, spitting it out and proceeding to clean up with no clue of what you do to him. satoru on the other hand — terribly excited that you’d even open your mouth to talk to him after two days of endless silent treatment. 

“nothing, baby. it’s nothing, i promise.” you can’t lie at the way your heart jumps at the familiarity of it all, of being in such proximity to your lover, doing domestic things like these and the ‘baby’ and yet your pride is holding you back on everything.

you go straight to sleep, too, not wanting to entertain anything related to gojo satoru and you feel just a little bad when he looks at you with those baby blues and a sweet pout on his face. he looked especially pathetic in the bathroom, like a deer caught in headlights at just the presence of you and you want nothing more to apologise. it’s never that easy, though; you needed a promise, you needed the reassurance that he wouldn’t be leaving you to clean up after him again.

all these worries are willed away when you finally fall into slumber in your own room, body craving the warmth of satoru unknowingly. you had stolen a pillow the day before and it’s been the sole source of his scent, the only thing to keep your mind sane.

gojo’s heart drops again upon seeing you already deep in sleep, thinking he had a chance to catch you before you did, but the needines for you never goes down even now. he cannot take his mind off the way you’d run your hands through his hair or tangle your legs with his, satoru’s limbs recall the memory of you playing with his fingers and how you like to curl your arms around his neck. 48 hours is enough for him to go insane, and also maybe at how your leg was propped up on his missing pillow, hugging it so tight to your chest. you hadn’t bothered to wear pants either, so all he can see is the shape of your cunt under.

he stalks into the room and kneels in front of you, finger so tempted to run along your folds and make you wet, staring a whole minute and weighing his options until decides he doesn’t deserve it, turning away and closing your door softly.

“going now, satoru.” it’s soft when you mumble it, not even wanting him to hear before you’re stopped. you’re donning the uni orientation shirt and eyebags, a soggy sandwich from yesterday staining your bag with its smell. “what?”

“made you somethin’,” gojo’s cute like this with a frilly apron and hair band, still managing to tower over you despite the adorable get-up he’s got on, “it’s a bento.”

and you wish you could just melt the pride that runs through your bones and kiss him all over, and you break just a little. a small smile and you walk up to him, grabbing the lunchbox and pecking him softly on the cheek, turning away fast enough to not catch his fangirl moment — because you knew you wouldn’t be able to make it on time if you did.

“we still have to talk later when i come back, okay?” you call out as you put on your shoes and you steal one last glance at him, “and today’s laundry day. you know what t—”

“yes ma’am!” gojo salutes and you roll your eyes with a small smile, locking the door behind you with heat on your cheeks and the pounding of your heart. it was difficult not to break when it came to satoru, when he’s trying so hard to win back your words and love, and so tonight you’ve decided after the tiring week is when you’d finally stop running away over such a small matter.

although, gojo got caught up in something way beyond your expectations even if he had his initial intentions (which involved ordering your favourite takeout and kneeling at the front door in apology). 

your roommate lays around for a bit before grabbing some lunch and heading to the back room, a little extension attached to the kitchen with a tune on his lips. it’s clear he’s a little driven by your little innocent peck, a sign that maybe you weren’t so mad any more. for the next hour, satoru is contently doing the laundry with a smile, until—

the panties you threw in before showering must have fallen to the bottom of the pile, the same one he saw you wear last night and he thinks maybe the low humming buzz he heard last night wasn’t his imagination because when he picks it up he can smell your arousal. there’s a stain from the previous night and another pool of juices from this morning and he now knows that it wasn’t the kettle.

“dirty girl,” he grins, “both yesterday and this morning?” he’s thought about this for the longest time, always holding himself back because you found him weird enough even before you were dating, always letting you do your own separate load for your undergarments. but since you’ve gotten together, you were more comfortable, throwing it into the same laundry basket — the compulsion has never been this strong before.

gojo puts it up to his nose and smells like the pervert he is, among other times: teasing you with a hand down your pants when the two were over at your dorm, fucking you in the kitchen as they focused on the movie, pounding into you with the windows open, and he almost ascends at the scent of your pussy juices. there’s a spark that goes down right to his core and he palms his bulge unconsciously, coming to his senses when the washing machine beeps.

he impatiently puts in the settings and leaves, heading straight for your room and is hit with all reminders of you. the perfume you used this morning and the body wash you share with him, walking almost under a trance to your bed where he moans at the softness of the sheets as he falls face first. it doesn’t take him much to scoot to your pillows, but the need for you is just too much.

gojo grinds his cock into the bed, whining softly as he whiffs up your natural body smell, hips moving on their own accord as he manoeuvres a pillow between his legs. he humps it like a dog, groaning and moaning and the strain on his dick is just too much, balling up the undies in his hand and his body tenses at the friction. 

“baby . . f-fuck—” satoru’s voice is high-pitched and choked, all the thoughts of you culminating into one big ball of desperation for you and he cums in his pants, tainting the fabric a darker colour than before. but he’s not done — his hips still move against the pillow, thrusting into the fluff as he rides out his orgasm, moans muffled by the pillow. “miss you . .”

gojo misses you more than anything, feeling so much distance even within the house that he flips over — by now the sun shines its golden rays a little less. the afternoon is winding down into a cool evening — and pulls at the waistband of his pants. he’s still sensitive, wrapping a hand around his hard cock and pumping and the sound that leaves his mouth is borderline slutty. with another smell of your cunt, he strokes his dick, using his cum as lube.

“oh . . r-right there— mhnng . .” satoru’s hips buck into his hand, squeezing and thumbing at his cock before unbundling your panties and wrapping them around his shaft. the sight drives him insane. sure, it’s one of your more everyday underwear, neutral in both design and colour but he can feel the fabric get wetter and wetter from how much cum he’s pushed out earlier and that’s enough to keep his hand pumping. “s-sweetness, cummin—”

gojo’s head makes a dent in your other pillow from how hard he was pushing it, back arching at how the warmth in his hand will never compare to your mouth or pussy. he can already feel his second orgasm approaching, your room filled with the squelch of his cock and his sounds and he shoots his load with a drawn out moan all over your panties and his stomach. his cum is always so much, dripping down his pelvis and onto his hand and also . . yours?

your boyfriend lets out the girliest scream you’ve ever had the pleasure of hearing, scrambling up to the headboard when he sees you hovering over his body. he accidentally kicks your chest in the process and you have to clutch it with a small “ow”, although a small smile is still present on your face.

“having fun?”

“dude, what the fuck?” 

your smile drops, “dude?”

gojo suddenly has his hands moving frantically, “nonono— no, sorry, i meant baby!”

you sigh, sitting back down on your heels as you take in the sight: his still hard cock and the sweat lining his body. his bangs are wet and your eyes flit down to your soiled underwear.

“uh . . i was just borrowing it,” gojo nervously chuckles, handing the cum-filled panty to you and your brows furrow.

“darling, you can’t just give someone back their clothes with your come on it.”

and your boyfriend pouts again, “i really am sorry. and for everything else, too. for not cleaning up and for being a general bum,” this is why you also (sometimes) favoured his unseriousness when you were talking about difficult things. the amount of times you had succumbed to his touches and kisses when you were mad at him was much better than your pride. gojo brings you onto his lap like his dick wasn’t just out, and you relish in the closeness you’ve missed.

“i need you to show me you mean it, ’toru,” he lights up at the nickname he loves just as you point a finger in his face, “aht! calm down. don’t think we’re all buddy-buddy again.”

“i will try,” gojo is smooth, taking your hand into his while the other brushes the hair away from your eyes. you lean into the touch, “and i will try until you see my efforts.”

you smile at his honesty, “and i’m sorry for ignoring you as well. it was childish of me.”

gojo hums, bringing your face in to plant a kiss to your lips, “i missed you like crazy, princess.”

you laugh, “yeah i can tell, i miss you too.” you gesture to all of him and he whines softly at the joke, squeezing your waist.

“you’re not weirded out?”

his breath hitches when you move down his body and situate yourself between them, finger tracing his tip and teasing him, “why would i be? i’ve literally fucked myself wearing your shirt.”

gojo gulps loudly, “you did w-what?”

“i’m just better at not getting caught.” all words are taken from his lips then, when your mouth engulfs him and the feeling of it is just pure insanity. gojo pants and his thighs tense, a hand gathering your hair into a ponytail to keep it from interfering. his eyes fixate on the way your suck him off, recalling the last time he’s watched you do that was in a damn bathroom. 

“y-your mouth—” satoru swears under his breath when you swirl your tongue around his shaft, the tip of his cock making bulges on the side of your mouth and it only leaves him calling out your name time after time.

“y’know,” you gargle on him, slurping up his cum, “i know what you were thinking starin’ at me last night.”

gojo snaps his fingers and mumbles out a shaky damn, because he can always be read like an open book. he just didn’t know he was that obvious.

“looked cute staring,” you mutter around him, “like a little puppy.”

you slap his thick length on your tongue, moaning when you feel just how heavy it is, “you just wanted this so bad, didn’t you?”

gojo whines at your words, nodding, and you go back to the abuse on his dick, bobbing your head up and down as your hand plays with his balls. the other moves over his torso, at the porcelain skin there and you can feel his stomach heaving at your ministrations.

“are you close, baby?” you ask mindlessly, the lewd sounds of his fat cock in your mouth sending sensations right down to your sex as well. you never really listen to his answer, taking a deep breath and sucking in your cheeks and soon you’re deep throating your lover.

“mh— mmf . .” sounds deep from your throat as your nose buries itself in his pubes, and satoru struggles to hold your tantalising stare. he can feel his tip hit the back of your throat and his moans are quick and high-pitched.

“cumming— ’m cumming,” before you come off and you go back to your pace and gojo’s small moans descend into longer ones at the feeling. his eyes roll back right into his skull as he twitches in your mouth and soon he’s spilling right into your throat and tongue.

“baby—” satoru’s eyes are squeezed tightly shut, “s-shit . .” and the sheer amount of cum always takes you off guard, sputtering over it when you drag your lips off of him. your boyfriend’s eyes are hooded and darkened, looking at how the strings of his semen droop from your mouth and connect right to his weeping tip.

“eugh, eat more veggies, ’toru. you’re bitter as fuck.” you say with a giggle, swallowing nonetheless as you wipe a hand across your mouth, “thanks for the meal.”

his spirit has certainly ascended, chest heaving and legs jelly from that mind-blowing orgasm. even he takes solace on the headboard, looking down at you with tired eyes.

“but i’m not done,” you truly weren’t, driving satoru to the brink after you’ve milked him to his limit, and yet he wouldn’t have it any other way as he thrusts into you, having had a new burst of energy after seeing your confidence wane once you’ve gotten his dick in you.

it was cute — your words breaking up and staggering as you sink down for the first time after two days, reduced merely to whines as you ride him. gojo lets you have your fun for a bit before he properly flips you over, pressing down on your lower back.

“fuck yourself onto me, baby,” he can tell you’ve missed him too by how you squeeze around him, a sly grin on his face when your hips push back onto him. he sees the tight hold you have on the silk sheets and the soft whimpers leaving your mouth. “good girl . . juuust like that.”

you’re jerking forward when he slaps your ass, letting it ripple from the force of both of his hand and your hips. but he takes over soon enough, grabbing both your arms and pulling you gently off that you’re hanging limply. and even while he does that, he’s still focused on the way your lips spread to accommodate him together with a ring of white at the base of his cock.

“that feel good? huh?” gojo mumbles, loving the way you arch your back and your head lols forward, just letting him do whatever he wants to you. you’re too far gone to even quell the ache in your thighs, too distracted by the wetness of your pussy.

“feel s— s’good, satoru—!” you moan out and like always satoru is indecisive in everything, now tugging you up to rest chest to back. “g’na cum!”

your legs spread more and more as your lover keeps you tightly pressed against him, an arm around your neck and the other, waist. wordlessly, he guides your face to the side, meeting your mouth in a sloppy, drooling kiss and his hips stutter at the way you mewl into his mouth.

“that right, princess?” he asks into your lips, relishing in your face contorting in pleasure. eyes reaching heaven and your mouth parted cutely even more when he props a leg up and his cockhead presses against your cervix ever so lightly.

“y—yeah . .” it’s a mix between a whine and a moan before the only rub of your clit from satoru’s hand sends you reeling and you’re trembling in his hold. you can feel your juices coat his length just as he cums as well, too obsessed with the way your cunt feels aeons better than his pathetic hand. he litters your skin with groans of his own, continue to fuck his cum back into you as you milk him dry with ropes and ropes of semen painting your womb white.

“good little girl,” he hums, and you sigh at the feeling of him cumming again, sensing him removing himself with you with an obscene pop! and you want to continue. you’re already moving your hips yet again, begging with small please’s but the happy-go-lucky song of the dryer interrupts the both of you. you scowl.

gojo laughs into your neck, and you’re left grumbling as he sets you down gently, letting you catch your breath before he presses a kiss to your sweaty cheek.

“i’ll handle it, baby,” satoru made a promise to you and he’ll keep it. he hurriedly pulls his sweatpants over his bottom half, “you just rest up.”

it’s not even two minutes later that you already miss him, trotting over to the laundry room in nothing but his shirt and you just watch as he removes the clothes with a certain tranquillity and delicateness that you’d like to see this sight more often and all you can muster in the moment is your arms around his middle.

and the sweetness of the moment is immediately ruined by gojo, “let’s fuck here. whaddya say?” 

your roommate and lover can only grin when you turn him around to smack him (“it’s!” slap “not!” slap “sanitary!” slap “here!” slap), finally happy everything’s back to normal. satoru simply presses a kiss to your temple.

[pinkswordgang]

Whats so special about birthdays tho

One day i will wake up to loml planting kisses all over my face and wishing me happie birthday. I will blink open my eyes and will still find it hard to believe i am loved and cherished by someone so much. They will know because now my eyes will be filled with tears. They will kiss me and tell me how much they love me and how much more i deserve. I will bring them in my embrace. We will have a great day. I want to see northern lights with them and bake. They will lift me up on the kitchen counter maybe and will push me against the cabinets filled with indian spices. We will cook, have lunch and leave for our garden picnic date where we will buy candyfloss and share it while watching swans in the lake opposite our little bench. We will drink champagne and eat fruit. For dinner they will take me to an open sky hotel on the 30th floor and will drape their jacket around me. We will eat spicy tteokbokki and giggle in each other's face till we go all red. Our wine glasses will reflect the moon. We will be in love. Young and in love. Love which is will be the gentelest. They will take me to an art exhibition and will make me pick out my favorite painting which we will buy. Later that night we will make love in front of our bedroom mirror, under the painting. We will fall asleep in each other's arms. We will be in love.

hello!! i found your blog not so long ago and i already love it so much, i was wondering if (if your request are open) you could do an ateez reaction to their s/o crying/pouting because they(atz) got jealous and they were ignoring their s/o (almost like the hwa reaction to you dancing w/ another member) 🥺 i love your blog so much.. hope your staying safe!!! 🤍

Okay, my sweet anon, this ended up being shorter than I originally wrote it bc it got deleted last time but I think I hit all the important stuff anyway! Also, I appreciate the positivity and I hope you are staying safe as well! <3

Summary: Ateez gets jealous of your conversation with another member. During a group dinner. Since they are feeling neglected, they decide to give you a taste of your own medicine.

Hongjoong:

Okay so Hongjoong is totally calm about his bitterness

Like he’s definitely staring daggers at whichever member you’re talking to

But other than throwing a dirty glance in their direction every once in a while

No one will even be able to notice that he’s remotely upset about anything

I think that he’s probably used to covering his emotions well since he’s the leader and he feels like he needs to be the most mature and stuff

That can lead him to being kind of reserved about his emotions though and that might bug some people

And so when you finally start giving him some attention

He’s gonna turn away from you and just flat out pretend he cant hear you

But when you finally get home at the end of the night and you’re sulking because he hasn’t said a word to you since before dinner

He starts to feel hella guilty

Like he never wants to hurt you but his jealousy really just took control of him that night for some reason

And if you’re making big, sad eyes at him and following him like a puppy as he does his nightly routine…

He’s done for

But I feel like once you actually start having a conversation, he’s very good at keeping it from turning into an argument

Good at “I feel” statements you know?

But both of you recover from this rather quickly and just make it up to each other by snuggling for the rest of the night

Seonghwa:

So Seonghwa is the type to act normal enough that the guys won’t notice that anything is wrong

But you know him well enough to know that he’s being kind of cold to you for some reason

And if you notice he’s being super low-key rude to another member then you can kind of connect the dots and understand why he’s upset

He will never let any of the guys see his anger though

Mostly because he’s the oldest and he feels that responsibility to them to only show them his good side if he can help it

So he will talk to you, but only like one word at a time

And he’ll brush you off if you touch him

But he will disguise it by reaching for food or something

He’s good at this okay

But if you just keep staring at him and the guys notice enough to ask you what’s wrong, then he’ll tell you to fake it til you get home

And you do because you don’t want to upset him more yk

And when you get home though, you’re almost in tears bc hiding it like that was so exhausting and painful

When he sees you starting to break a little, then he’s hugging you

Like .5 seconds to cross the room to get to you okay

Drama Mama Hwa to Protective Boyfriend Hwa that quick

He’ll explain why he was upset and you’ll explain your side as well

And once you’re finished, you’re both calm and forgiving about it

Even if you don’t fully understand each others point of view, you get it enough to let it go

Then you both just pass out together bc emotions are tiring

But you definitely wake up with smiles on your faces the next morning

Yunho:

(this is how he sulks at you okay its adorable, i just wanna give him the world)

this jealous baby

Like did you guys see that video of him and Wooyoung eating cheese tteokbokki like San was just tryna help no need to get your boxers in a bunch sweetie

But anyways, I digress

If he’s jealous, he’s gonna let you know straight out the gate

Like he’ll literally tap you on the shoulder and then act like he did nothing

And at first you’re like aw cute he’s being playful

But really he just wants you to know he’s ignoring you on purpose

Like how dare you not notice that Im ignoring you purposefully… He’s not gonna put in all this effort just for you to not notice okay

And when your brain finally connects those dots its like ugh

But Yunho is easy to break okay

Like the second you pay him even a lick of attention he’s so happy

Its just really hard for him to stay upset

But dammit he’s gonna try his best to keep it up until he thinks you have both neglected each other for an equal amount of time

But both of you are kinda clingy

So even if you both know this won’t last for very long, you still get kinda sad about it

And the second your lip juts out and you’re pouting

He’s smooshing your cheeks and just going “aigooooooo” and babying you and stuff

All the other members are disgusted but they’re just jealous okay I said what I said

Yeosang:

(Kang Yeosang character summary: will ignore you for chicken)

Okay I don’t think Yeosang is the type to ignore you on purpose

He just gets really in his head when he’s jealous and gets quiet

And I feel like we see more of Yeosang’s quiet side rather than his expressive side

So maybe he’s shyer about emotions? Idk this is all speculation anyway

So if he’s in his head, he’s definitely not trying to hurt you or anything

He’s just thinking about everything and feeling neglected and insecure

Poor baby

Like he’s only gonna notice that you’re sad about him ignoring you once youre alone

Bc nothing else can distract him from you aw

And if you’re even the slightest bit teary, all of his insecurities fly out the window

Like all his focus will be on making you feel better

And when you say that you’re upset bc he was ignoring you

He’ll literally be like… you were ignoring me tho???

Also he strikes me as the type to laugh in serious situations so he will deadass burst out laughing 

Like full on cackling

You’re half crying and just staring at him like ??? Wtf???

And he’s like WE IGNORED EACH OTHER HAHAHA

What the hell’s so funny about that you absolute crackhead

But then youre laughing too bc you realize that this entire situation is kind of ridiculous anyway

And both of you get over just like that, and spend the rest of the night giving each other all the love and affection you have to spare

San:

Okay San’s type of jealousy is more aggressive I think

Like not that he’s aggressive towards anyone about, just it impacts him way more than anyone else

So it can really take a toll on your relationship sometimes

But I do feel like, if he’s gonna ignore you, it’s only gonna be while you’re in front of the members

But as soon as you get home, all the emotions are gonna come out at once

Like as soon as you step through the door, word vomit all over the place

And if you’re eyes are glossy too then both of you are gonna end up crying

And neither of you are really sure why you’re crying, you’re just soft babies okay

But I do think that San is more accusatory in these situations

Like a lot of “you did this” instead of “this is how I feel”

So it can start arguments sometimes

This time though, you’re both just emo and soft

Since you’re both a little bit weepy, you’re both just apologizing profusely 

but neither of you really know why you’re sorry

You just are

And no formal resolution is reached because you both fall asleep all cozied up to each other with tears drying on both of your faces

And you wake up in the morning, kind of giggling at each other

All the negativity got washed out of your systems anyway :)

Mingi:

this BABY

he’s jealous but if he ignores you omg

its so hard for him to do

god like he's not even good at it

like he’s ignoring you but still holding your hand??

like how does that work

but anyway, even if you're pouting at him and stuff

he will be the one who ends up crying

like “why did you ignore meee”

and you're like... I didn't even realize I was??

so you decide to tell him what you and the members were talking about

and then all of a sudden, he’s distracted

like “ooh that interesting”

tell me more

or if it was a debate he’ll pick a side and have a full discussion with you

or if he agrees with you, he will playfully diss the other members for being wrong lmao

basically, just distract him and everything will be all set

just don't make a habit of ignoring him bc then he will really feel unloved and no one is allowed to hurt my Minnie

Wooyoung: 

So, Wooyoung is more exaggerated with the way he expresses his emotions

And we all know that I mean we’ve seen it

So when he gets jealous, he feels it in his chest

Then those emotions bubble up and come out in the form of hysterics

So he goes extra crazy for a little bit

Like not showing anger or anything, just being excessively crackheadish

And obviously not giving any of that attention to you

You notice it immediately

Like if he’s super excited, he always gives you most of his attention bc he really wants to share that happiness with you

But if he’s ignoring you, its really obvious

And you really feel the hurt bc its like… he never acts like this normally

So once you get home you’ve pretty much had it

Like your eyes are welling up and he’s just kind of looks at you like “oh nooooooo, I done messed up”

And he’s holding you and apologizing and being sweet and explaining why he did it

Literally swears up and down he will never do it again

Bc when he feels guilty it’s overwhelming for him too

Especially when it comes to you

So you end up snuggling each other the whole night to make up for the time you lost ignoring each other

Jongho:

Jongho is definitely more reserved about his emotions and we see that a lot

I feel like its probably because he’s the youngest and he doesn’t want his hyungs to think he’s immature or incapable of handling his emotions

So he is gonna try to maintain that tough facade in front of his members at all costs

And they won’t really notice if you guys are having problems bc I feel like he tends to keep things about your relationship more private in front of them anyway

So if he’s ignoring you, the other guys will just assume that he’s trying to keep being tough

No one is allowed to see Jongho soft okay

But you will be seeing him turn soft the second he notices that you’re hurting

If he notices that you’re upset when you’re with the guys, he will take you home early

The second you’re alone, protective and soft Jongho combine to form that side of him the guys arent allowed to see

He hates that he’s the reason you’re feeling hurt

Will try literally anything to make you feel better

He is not gonna stop touching you and holding you and babying you all night

Has to be in contact with you in some way or he’ll cry

But either way he’s gonna be the best boyfriend to make up with

Bc he behaves this way after every conflict you have

Forever a sweetheart

[oddishfeeling]

the fact that he was like what should we order for dinner? and proceeded to order a six pack of pacifico a liter of ginger ale n jameson lmfaooo... i did make a loaded tteokbokki tho

Stray Kids’ reaction to their S/O loving spicy food

Scenario: Stray kids reaction to their significant other loving spicy food. Genre: Fluff/ Humour Pairing: Stray Kids members X Reader Word count: 2k Requested: Yes, by @beakhyunbeauty A/n: I hope you like it even though I changed it a little bit, so I could make different scenarios for every member, well as different as possible lol.

Chan:

Chan had taken you out to eat and for some reason he wanted to try 닭발 (Chicken feet) with you. The dish was known for often being spicy and many people can’t eat it, but he just wanted to shock you and just order it.

The restaurant you two would go to was very nice and the food was great. Chan was laughing his ass off when he saw your shocked expression. “ARE THOSE FEET?” You’d yell in a whisper in a shock. He would just laugh and tell her to eat it. As he was taking a bite or a nibble what you would like to call it, he kept staring at you as you ate your chicken.

He was bamboozled when he didn’t see you break a sweat, when he was chugging the milk down his throat. “HOW ARE YOU OKAY?” “I love spicy food remember? And besides, this isn’t even that spicy-“ “WHAT ARE YOU? SATAN?” “IS THAT WHAT YOU CALL YOUR PARTNER?” You yelled at him playfully as you gave him some rice, to blow off the heat that was in his mouth.

“I CALL CRAZY PEOPLE THAT YOU WEIRD-“ “HERE’S SOME MORE RICE!” You laugh, shoving the spoon into his mouth.

Woojin:

You boyfriend knew you like spicy food. He had never tasted yours, but just from the smell he knew he wouldn’t like it. The spiciness would just ruin the taste for him.

Right now you were out with your boyfriend to celebrate their latest comeback. He had been so busy and you wanted to spoil him a little by taking him out for a simple but delicious dinner. Chicken it was!

Woojin had ordered simple fried chicken, whilst you had fried chicken as well, but extra spicy. The order would be set in front of the two of you and without realising Woojin took yours. His eyes widen and he started to breath heavily as the spice kicked him basically in the face. You were shocked by his sudden expression and asked what was wrong. He would set your chicken on your plate, whilst coughing to the waitress for milk and rice. You giggled to yourself when he had calmed down from his coughing fit. “How do you do it? Is your mouth numb? Are you even human babe?” He asked, still in pain. “I just handle spices well? It’s not that spicy tho-“ “NOT THAT SPICY I FELT LIKE I WAS BEING BURNED FROM THE INSIDE!” “I-“ “I CAN’T EVEN TASTE MY OWN CHICKEN!” Woojin whined. “We can take it home and eat it there?” You suggested, really not knowing what to do. “But I’m hungry!” He whines once again, writing a note to himself to always ask whose food was whose.

Minho: This little shit is judging the hell out of you. I’m sorry to say this, but he will. You would put pepper, chili or anything that contained spice on your food. You even tried to put chili flakes on your ice cream, but one that was disgusting and second the ice cream had blocked out the heat so you were sad.

Right now you would be making a grilled cheese at home, but you being you, you put half of the powdered chili jar onto your cheese. Minho was watching you from the doorway, judging you silently.

“If I knew I would be dating Satan, I would have reconsidered this relationship.” He mumbled loud enough for you to hear. He was clearly joking, but he just like teasing you since you would whine out to him and it was the cutest thing ever to him as well.

“Let me live Minho!” You whined whilst slapping his chest playfully. “I am trying, but you aren’t since you’re trying to burn your intestines from the inside by putting all that stuff inside of you-“ “MINHO SHUSH!”

Changbin:

Changbin likes spicy food and when you told him you loved it as well, he got excited and suggested to cook together. You had never mentioned the level of spiciness you liked or could handle and you probably should’ve since you were the one making the food and not Changbin. You see, if Changbin would be the one who was making the food, everything would’ve been fine. If it wasn’t spicy enough for you yet, you could’ve always added some more.

But since you thought and assumed that he’d be on the same level as you, it wasn’t fine. As soon as Changbin took a spoonful of the food you had prepared, he started coughing. The food hadn’t even passed his throat yet and he acted like he was dying.

When he cooled off, literally since he started sweating as well. You apologises to him, wanting to kiss him, but he pushed you away. “GET AWAY FROM ME YOU HOT LIPS!” “IS THAT A COMPLIMENT OR ARE YOU INSULTING ME-“ “YES!”

Hyunjin:

You were in Korea for a few weeks. You had vacation and you wanted to spend it with your lover, Hyunjin. Since you had a long distant relationship, you both tried and wanted to see each other as much as possible, but with Hyunjin’s tight schedule and with you being in college, it was quite hard you could say.

After a whole day of cute and fun activities, you two became hungry so you went out for some spicy cold noodles, since it was a hot day in Seoul. You two sat down and enjoyed each other’s company some more as you waited for you food. When it did arrive, you asked the waiter for some extra pepper. Even more than you had already had in your dish.

Hyunjin looked at you like you were out of your mind, and so did the waiter. “A-are you sure you can handle that?” Hyunjin asked worried. “Of course, I love spicy food. I can handle the heat.” You assured your boyfriend proudly and ate the noodles like a champ. Your boyfriend and the waiter as well were both impressed at your skill, which made you giggle.

“I literally have the hottest partner-“ “Hyunjin!” “What?”

Jisung:

Jisung always wanted to steal your food, even though he had his own in front of him. 

‘Yours just look better.’ He would say. 

‘Why?’ You would reply. 

‘Because it’s yours-‘ 

‘EAT YOUR OWN FOOD DANG IT-‘.

Today was one of those days where Jisung was just in the mood to steal your food. You had prepared some nasi goreng and as usual you added some extra chili flakes to it, to make it to your taste. “Baby, give me some!” He whines as he lays his head on your shoulder, pressing his cheek against yours. You sighed and gave him the spoon, but before he took a bite he asked if it was spicy.

“No, not too much.” You said and honestly it wasn’t. For you at least. Jisung was in tears after one bite, making you rush to his side with plane rice and a carton of milk. “IF YOU DIDN’T WANT ME TO STEAL YOUR FOOD ANYMORE YOU COULD’VE JUST TOLD ME! INSTEAD OF HURTING ME LIKE THIS- WHAT ARE YOU EVEN? DO YOU LIVE ON FIRE OR SOMETHING ARE YOU LIKE AN OVEN- OR THE SUN? BECAUSE YOU SURE ARE MY SUNSHINE!” “Wait what?” You laughed at his rant, tears running down his face as he groaned in pain.

“Do you want me to give you a kiss to make you feel better?” You asked and of course he didn’t reject a chance to kiss you, but he soon regrets it when the heat returns to his lips. “BABY YOU MADE MY LIPS GO ON FIRE WITH YOUR FIREY LIPS-“

Felix:

This baby can’t eat spicy food as well, but he wasn’t going to let that stop him from doing the spicy ramen challenge. He had seen it all over the internet and Felix being Felix, he just had to try it. So he made two packs and dragged you in front of the camera so the two of you could both suffer, well that was his intention to be honest.

Little did he know that you love spicy food and that it was easy for you. You had finished the ramen within five minutes, shocking Felix who was choking in front of the camera. She was totally fine and even snatched a noodle from his plate every now and them.

He would throw his hands up in disbelief and have a mixture of laughter and coughing as he realised how dumb he must’ve been looking.

“I’m sorry STAY I never though that my love would’ve beaten me at something that involves food. I’ll get my revenge though.” “I also don’t think he needs a punishment, because this whole challenge seemed like a punishment to him and he did this to himself.” You giggled to the camera whilst Felix was chugging a whole carton of milk down.

“I’ll update you guys if he’s still alive after this, bye!” You laughed before waved the camera goodbye.

Seungmin:

Seungmin loved your cooking, the simple meals, the small meals, the three course meals etc. This time he came over unexpected and you were making food, for yourself. It was a simple 떡볶이 (Tteokbokki = stir-fried rice cakes), but you knew you had made it spicy, very spicy to be precise.

You told your boyfriend that you would make him some different ones, but he told you didn’t have to and just eat some of the ones you made already. And you could just predict how this would turn out.

“They are spicy though-“

“I think I can handle it.” He said, trying to act confident. He had always heard you about how much you loved spicy food. Needless to say that Seungmin had never tasted your kind of spicy before and he wished he had never had to because the poor boy started to cough and even to hiccup after he ate some.

“Shall I make you a different one?”

“Y-yes p-please.” He said in between hiccups, making you laugh.

Jeongin:

Jeongin loves spicy food, he never knew you did as well. One day you would be over at the dorm and the other members would’ve been out to give the two of you some alone time. Jeongin had offered to be a good boyfriend and make the two of you some food. He made it the way he usually did and it was needless to say that it was quite spicy.

He hadn’t given it a second thought that it could’ve been too spicy for you, until he had taken the first bite and realised it was quite hot. He was about to stop you from eating, but he was already too late. Without even looking at how you were actually doing, he just rushed to the kitchen instead and grabbed the first carton of milk he could find. When he returned, he noticed you staring at him in confusion whilst calmly eating the food he made.

“Y-you can eat it? It isn’t too spicy?” He asks in surprise. “No, I like it! It’s really good, if I were the one cooking, I would’ve put a lot of more spice into it.” You giggled when Jeongin got excited to take you to his favourite restaurants where the two of you could try out their spicy stuff and see who would break first.

“COME AT ME BRO, I CAN HANDLE SPICE BTTER THAN YOU!” “WANT TO BET- did you just bro-zone me?’ “No wait baby, I was caught up in the heat.” “I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE!”

Gifs aren’t mine!

A/n: I hope you liked it!

04 dec 2017

yooohoo

so it's currently 11:43pm and i'm writing this in the toilet as i poop.

didn't do much today but i met dayah and we went to bedok singpost for awhile in the afternoon cus she had to top up the current for the house. and then we went to bedok mall to have our late lunch. i suggested eating at fish n chicks cus i really wanted to try their hawaiian chicken set but we ended up just having lunch at 18chefs instead cus she didn't really feel like having anything there after looking at the menu. kinda bummed but i guess there's always a next time (hopefully!!). i wanted to have my usual (the tomyum fusilli or the curry rice with beef) but didn't wanna go over my budget of 10 bucks so i just got the cheese baked rice under the student meal which is also my usual when i wanna eat something nice and filling but at the same time still save!! cus their student meal automatically comes with a drink (the standard ice lemon tea) and dessert (ice cream of the day). so for about $10 or less, you practically get a whole meal which to me is really worth it if you feel like having "normal" food instead of fast food all the time.

after our lunch, she had to fill the current up so we went back to her place and i waited for her with the neighborhood cat. super cute, i should have taken a photo so i post it here but i didn't lol. and then she booked an appointment at the doctor's cus of an injury she had during her trip at pulau ubin. damn clumsy af wth. her hands and a side of her face were covered in scars from all the thorns and she has a really bad bruise around her abdomen and bladder area wtf. i fuckig told her to go for an xray since it's such a sensitive area but stubbornly refused zz no matter how many times i advised her to.

but ya anyway while waiting for her appointment, han suddenly called me and asked me if i want to accompany him cut his hair or not today. i said yes!! cus i told him before to bring me if he wants to cut his hair but i can only leave around 7 or so i thought.... cus i actually reached his place around 9 lol. i felt bad just leaving dayah there so i waited till she sees the doctor before i left and took an uber down to han's place. unfortunately, by the time we reached the barbershop it was already 9:15pm and they closed at 9pm so we actually missed it by 15 minutes. sadly.

then han raged like a madman for awhile, kinda like a screaming child throwing a little bit of tantrum (jk lol i love you bb!!!!!!) because he really wanted to get a haircut today. he couldn’t tahan how long and bushy his hair has become cus he felt rimas hahahaha. imo, he can style his hair up a little like what he did last time since his fringe was getting in the way but lol i didn’t really suggest that to him just now cus i don’t think he’ll do it even hahahahha. and then he had a short moment of regret cus he felt that he should have just went ahead and got his hair cut, instead of waiting for me and going together.

after he was done being a madman, we walked towards the mrt because there’s an eatery nearby selling really cheap food, something like ananas. and he bought set A which is nasi lemak. there were pretty much only noodles and other fried food available since the eatery was already preparing to close for the day. 

then we walked around, to look for a sitting area at the void deck so he can sit down and eat. honestly, it would have been easier if we just go sit at his block’s void deck, but i was trying to avoid all chances of seeing his mom since i wasn’t properly dressed. the thing about me is that, i like wearing shorts or skirts more than jeans or pants or whatever long bottoms because i feel so restricted covering up all the skin on my legs (lol) but at the same time, i think it is rude for me to show up with a “naked” bottom, especially in front of the older generations. i think most malays (muslims) can relate to this. like tbh, my parents are super okay with me wearing shorts or skirts out but i don’t want to give a bad impression to others you know. and like, i know i should be myself and all but i don’t want to put whatever good (i hope) impression his mom have of me in jeopardy (even tho she already saw me wearing a skort ONCE). and tbh it is hard for me to be super comfortable around his mom cus she seems so traditional. like you cannot have any skinship because it’s haram and all lol whereas for my mom, she’s like super duper ok with skinship (she kept teasing me by saying things like “ooooh later far touch touch here (my thighs)” whenever i wear shorts/skirts out to meet han) but ya like apparently she’s totally fine with skinship. like even when han went over to my aunt’s and then sat beside me, being all chummy and touchy by laying on my thighs, or my shoulders, holding my hand etc, she didn’t even say anything when she saw it. it’s like she’s totally ok and sometimes i feel like she’s even encouraging the skinship actually LOLLLLLLLL istg!!!!

ok ya then we walked around looking for seats, petted some cats (we saw 4 cats!!!) and then finally just decided to walk back towards another block near the mall and found an empty sitting area!!! han ate and then we talked about his work, and other stuff. today was also the day i realised that han doesn’t like jobs that are gaji buta HAHAHAH. he prefers to be doing something on the job rather than just idling away not doing anything. but he also told me that he might not be able to last long at his current workplace due to experience-wise as well as the people there who are not really willing to teach him hands-on. just passing him some paper/manual thingy and asked him to read it instead of using his phone. tbh i find that quite shitty???? it was pretty much mundane at the start of the day until he was given a task to cut boards thingy till the end of his shift.  by 1030pm he was already getting really sleepy and tired, i guess his body clock is rewiring itself since it was pretty much fucked during the weekends and then i suggested that i should go home then so he can have an early rest. our meetup was short but honestly it was worthwhile going back and forth just to see him even if there wasn’t any skinship involved. and i’m not sure if he feels the same way but to me, just being around him makes me happy tbvh. like we don’t even have to be looking at each other or whatever, but his presence makes me feel like i’m not alone. i’m not talking about companionship but like you know the feeling of being able to share someone’s joys and pains. ya it’s that kind of feeling. i don’t think i explained it very well but i think you somewhat get the gist of it. then he wanted to book a grab home for me even though i said it was ok and i can just take the train cus it was only about 1030pm anyway and there’s still trains available probably up to 11+ even!! i told him to save his money (cus he got his pay of 3 days! the company damn good sia i thought usually most companies will bring forward the extras to the next month) but he stubbornly refused and still wanted to book a grab home for me so i gave in and since i haven’t had dinner, i told him that i wanna singgah 7-11 for awhile to get something to eat.

initially i was looking at getting a tuna onigiri (number 1 fav onigiri filling!!) and then i saw garlic + cheese bread and i really like garlic bread as well even though your breath will stink for abit due to the garlicky flavor but lmao idc and thought of getting both the garlic bread and the onigiri. but then i walked around and saw nissin’s cup noodle which is my second fav brand of cup noodles for tom yum flavor!!!! super love because the soup base is spicy and sour and salty wah damn shiok la but i don’t think it can beat this other brand that i super love but idk the name of the brand cus its in another language lol i think chinese???? but it’s only sold at sheng siong outlets and it costs about 90cents per cup. fucking nice istg it’s the most spiciest tom yum/shrimp flavored cup noodles i have ever tried. if i can find it one day, i’ll remember to snap a photo of it! ok but ya so i ended up getting one cup noodle, the garlic bread and instant tteokbokki. tbh i want to spend all my money on 7-11 HAHAHAHHA i love instant fooooood so unhealthy but so good wth!!!! why do unhealthy food taste so good omg 

and then han grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the store cus he knows if we stay there any longer i might make impulse purchases on food haahahahahah

after that he booked a grab for me which i had to share with someone else apparently cus the person was already on the ride. tbh i don’t mind sharing but i don’t really like sitting in the front cus super leceh esp with my bulky bag all then still must put on seatbelt (ya ok i know actually should put on seatbelt at the back also just in case anything happens) but ya then i told han that if there’s only one rider i’m gonna sit at the back je. the grab came and then we quickly kissed and hugged each other goodbyes and yesss lol i sat at the back cus there was only one rider sitting on the left so i decided to just sit on the right instead of the front hahahahahhaha the guy inside was kinda shock that i chose to sit behind i think cus usually second riders would rather sit in the front than with another random passenger at the back but lol idrc. then the driver dropped me off first. i got home around 1130pm, the journey felt so long but yet so fast lololol but by the time i’m home, han already ko HAAHAHAHHA

it’s gonna be another working day for him tomorrow!! second day of the week, 3 more days to go :>

jiayou my sayang hehe i love you!!! <3

day 1: arriving, a glimpse of hongdae, and looking for a place to stay

After contemplating whether I want to start a blog Again for the nth time, I finally come to the decision that, yes, I want to (try) to start a blog again. I made several attempts to start making a "digital-journal" ever since people are raving about starting their own blogs, and also ever since I saw how my sisters running theirs successfully. I even made one last year in 2016 when I stayed in Rotterdam with my sister for 3 months and had an euro-trip with her--so sort of like a travel journal and what it feels like to live in a foreign country with my sister, along with other countries I have visited so far in my life.

All of those attempts didn't come to fruition (okay mostly because I'm a lazy git but also because I'm not confident in publishing my thoughts) but I am willing to try yet again because I'll be living in Seoul for approx. 5 months. And also because I want to practice writing in english, maybe my writing skill could get better, right?

...Right.

Okay, Day 1, when I arrived at Seoul and what I did the whole day.

But before I go on about that, here are some minor information about what's going on with me:

I'm going on an exchange student program to Yonsei

The dorm there is expensive for me because I only get a partial scholarahip from my university and even That wouldn't cover my stay in Yonsei's dorm. rip.

With that said, I'm staying in a goshiwon for the whole program because it's cheaper and usually they serve free food (mostly only rice and kimchi, but I could buy more food to go along with those). Neat isn't it? But if you aren't fond with close spaces and could afford a dorm, I do suggest just go for the dorm because if not.. well I'll explain in my next point.

The thing is, goshiwons aren't as pretty as in the pictures of their blogs. Usually it's even more cramped than what you see and what not, which is why I planned to go look for it with an osmosis (read: friend of a friend) who's Korean but could speak Bahasa so she could help me out find a goshiwon that's perfect for me.

Since there is no way I'm bring my two luggages and one backpack that has my laptop in it, I booked a guesthouse for one night so I could move in to my chosen goshiwon on the next day.

I think that basically covered what I'm going through!

After I arrived at Incheon Airport, I went straight ahead to my guesthouse which is located near Hongdae. Since check-in is at 3pm, I went there just to drop my luggages and took a quick shower—this is because I planned to meet up with a friend of mine from UI who is also in the exchange program to Yonsei. This is also because I planned to meet up with my osmosis friend (which I mentioned earlier) at 6pm, so I have time to kill and looked around the area which will be my home for the next 4 months.

After I meet up with her, we had lunch (jajangmyeon!) before starting to wander around Sinchon. Seriously, we just walked around Sinchon's main street (I think it's the main street anyway, ha) because none of us really have a plan that day. Both of us ended up buying a 5,000 won for 10 face-masks tho! What can I say, it's a good deal.

the famous jajangmyeon that we had for our lunch. my friend’s goshiwon’s manager said the restaurant is also pretty famous! definitely a great dish.

After we got tired of wandering around Sinchon, my friend and I decide we're going to Hongdae instead. Actually, it's also because we want to buy sim cards for our phones but because we don't know the exact location of the store, we decided to go around Hongdae instead.

Honestly, Hongdae reminds me a bit of Harajuku a bit but I don’t know, maybe that’s just me. Maybe the fact that I haven’t explore Hongdae more and only saw a little bit of it that reminds me of Harajuku.

a glimpse of hongdae

We still had time to kill so we went out of the inner streets to see the main streets. There are daiso and miniso, CGV, lots of tall buildings with other stores in them. We went to the Kakao Friends too! The merchandises were so cute I actually want to buy them if I have a lot of money to spend on. 

i thought i managed to snap more pics inside the store but turns out i didn’t, so have this lovely ryan instead!

Finally, it’s time for me to meet up with my osmosis. She’s a very nice lady and can speak my language very well! Around 6pm until 9pm we went around some goshiwons located in Sinchon. Some I have heard the name of from goshipages.com* but some I don’t even know about. Long story short, we stumbled into one of the goshiwons that I actually know from goshipages. I’m actually reluctant to go in because I know based on the website the monthly rent is way above my budget. But, I trust my osmosis and another neat thing with goshiwon is that you can ask for a discount from them if you stay long enough there--which is why with my osmosis it’s better because she can bargain for the monthly rent price. 

It proves to be successful because the manager agrees to give me a room which I think is worth for 320,000 ~ 350,000 won into 280,000 won/month! It fits with my budget nicely and with a room that is actually bigger than what I thought I would have. It’s all because of my osmosis friend and I am forever grateful for her. I did have to pay another 10,000 won for bed sheets, a thin blanket, and a pillow but it’s worth it in my opinion. The only downside (which is more like in my personal view and not that much of a downside) is that they only serve free rice and kimchi, while the goshiwon that I actually wanted to be in (in the same montly rent aka 280,000 won) serve not just both of those things but also ramyeon, bread and eggs. Imagine the money I could save for food! But all in all it’s alright and you know what they said: beggars can’t be choosers.

After I secured the room, my friend and I bid our goodbyes with my osmosis because it’s getting late and she has a daughter to look after for. Since it was 9pm and we haven’t had our dinner yet, we decide to eat the famous street food that people rave about--such as tteokbokki, odeng, frieds, etc. Street food vendors are lining up every night near exit 7 of Sinchon Station so we went there to check it out.

the vendor we went to ft. tteokkbokki and odeng

We tried tteokbokki, odeng, and some frieds. Sadly, I didn’t take a picture of the frieds because it was being readied by the ahjumma when I took it. I did have a video though which I might or might not upload it one day, ha!

The street food was sooo good and it made both of our stomaches full even though the serving was already divided. Not just that, it also counts as cheap so it’s great for broke uni students like my friend and I, haha. I also have thought of one day taking odeng home and eat it with rice because I am sure it will make a great combination. Plus, it would be cheap and make my stomach full, what’s not to like?

Famished, both of us went home to our respected places--my friend to her goshiwon and myself to the guesthouse I’m staying for the night. It will be a big day tomorrow after all because I’ll be moving my things to my own room. 

Overall I am: excited and happy.

*goshipages is a great site to look for goshiwons to be honest. I looked there at first but stumbled upon a problem with a manager in one of the goshiwons I looked up on there. Since that happened, there isn’t any option that fits me from there financially, hence why I looked around when I arrived. My friend who’s from the same university didn’t have any problem with hers though, which is why she already has a place secured before even coming to Seoul.

23.07.2017

hello blog. i am back from my korea trip and it was a wonderful wonderful 8 days that i wish i can relive again and again. but since i can’t, i have the memories and the pictures to look at when i feel down and discouraged or when i just needed some positive vibes to cheer me on.

i will just blog about the days we spent there to the best of my memories, so that other than photos, i have pictures to remember as well.

DAY 1 - 15.07.2017 SINGAPORE > SEOUL > BUSAN

So bright and early in the morning, which i couldn’t sleep the night before anyway, cause i had to do some stuff for my acceptance of the training award. so i was up the whole night and had to wake up at 4am. woke up sleepy but fully and really excited. he took a cab to my place and we cab over from our place to the airport, same grab driver lol.

we reach there pretty early. the sky was still dark and still have some time before our boarding gate open. went to buy coffee and wrap and sandwich from dunkin donuts and sat at the lounge area to wait for our flight. after some time, the boarding gate opened and we were able to board the plane. the seats were really cramped but we got the window and aisle seat so like we’re just side by side. even though it was like a 6hr plus journey including the rescheduled time, it was pretty enjoyable. he was taking care of me, making sure i have everything i need. i remember my phone dropped onto the side or the bottom of my seat and he crouched down to pick it up for me and im just like my hero.

flight was ok, turbulent at times and i got a little scared. we watched our own shows and ate our own meals. it was pretty nice. at around 410, we arrived and were thinking if we could get to the KTX on time. timewise we’re pretty on track but when we went to the counter at the airport, the lady gave us 630 tickets direct from incheon instead. she insisted that it is the best timing rather than taking the arex to seoul and then to busan. so we decided to just heed her advice and went to eat lotteria before catching the train. and i’ve been nagging about eating lotteria cause like singapore don’t have then he keep saying see how cause don’t want whole trip also eat burgers. so im glad we had a chance to go eat. 

at around 630 we went to catch the ktx to busan. it takes quite some time so it was 1020 when we reach busan already. there was nothing much to do on the train. good thing there was a usb plug and wifi so we’re just using phone to pass the time. it was really boring. plus it was night time so like there was not much of a view also. 

after what felt like forever, we finally reached busan. it was late already so we decided to take a cab to our airbnb instead of public transport. we went out of the station to the roadside and flag a cab down. we reach our airbnb just fine. went up the 37th floor, deposited our stuff, then went back down again to buy water and some food. it was too late to go around to see as we had planned or eat dinner so just bought some onigiri. the view from the airbnb was supposed to be really nice, overlooking the beach but it was too dark to see anything. we just showered and went to sleep cause we were so tired from the continuous travelling today. 

DAY 2 - 16.07.2017 BUSAN > ORYUKDO > BIFF SQUARE > GAMCHEON CULTURAL VILLAGE > SONGDO SKYWALK > JAGALCHI FISH MARKET > GWANGGALLI BEACH

oryukdo skywalk was like my top priority in busan cause it looked so nice on the picture. but like in the end it was like meh, its beautiful but not as i expected. we took a bus to oryukdo and walked down the side of the slope facing the sea. when we reached the skywalk itself, it was a really small curved bridge with transparent floor. we had to wear these socks i guess so as not to dirty the skywalk or scratch the pavement with our shoes. it was a nice scenery and nice breeze, but pretty underwhelming. it was like walk walk walk then thats it. 

this was my sole photo of BIFF square. idk if its because we went at the wrong time or what. a lot of the little stalls were closed although we did managed to find the stall selling the hotteok that every blog recommended us. it was nothing to shout about though. really disappointed with BIFF square.

gamcheon cultural village was another story. gamcheon was really pretty with unexpected turns here and there. we didn’t use much maps for individual locations during the trip but i asked for one as i was afraid i would miss out some stuff. but they told me there are no maps for gamcheon. so we just walked and wandered wherever we go. he was a good sport throughout the trip, usually he not the kind who would take pictures and stuff but he was willingly taking photos with me and even FOR me. we saw cute dogs and like guys dressed in those japanese school girl uniform. it was really bizarre. we didn’t manage to take picture with the little prince statue at the side of a wall as there was a long queue of people waiting to take pictures but at least we found another little prince statue lol. we went to all the little corners and rickety, uneven steps and slopes and it was just really nice and windy to have this kind of adventure with my favourite person. 

We almost gave Songdo a miss. this was quite interesting cause we were actually on our way to gwanggalli beach so we were on the bus and we passed by the songdo skywalk and we were like eh look interesting, lets go lets go. so we alighted right at the next stop and took the next bus in the opposite direction. the songdo beach was really crowded and the skywalk was much more interesting than the oryukdo one. there was a newly refurbished cable car called busan air cruise. there was a long line for the cable car, i guess because its newly opened. the queue for the crystal floor one was super long and super slow. and also quite pricey so we went for the normal one. which was just as fun. it has been some time since both of us were on cable car and it was quite scary. the ahjummas in the same carriage as us were so chatty and keep laughing at every movement of the carriage so in the end he kept laughing as well. went to the other side of the cable car which is a park called aman park. had tteokbokki there and that was it. the park was mainly for hiking and we were not in the correct clothes and it was too hot to hike anyway.

my only picture of jagalchi fish market! even though he don’t eat fish much, let alone raw sashimi fish, he was very nice and went with me to the jagalchi fish market and looked for something with a suitable price with me. this was 20000 won that the lady cut the price for because i said im the only one eating. he mainly just watched me and ate some of the banchan and im just so thankful that he is willing to go there with me even though he is not eating at all.

after jagalchi fish market we took a train down to gwanggalli beach. this beach was really far away from the train station but once we reached there, there were lots of shops selling little this and that. can tell the whole area was completely catered for foreigners or just ppl coming for a holiday. the bridge looked really pretty against the sky and the sea. we went to eat bbq duck afterwards and i think he really enjoyed it which makes me really happy.

i can’t find a picture of the duck we ate. grrrrrr.

afterwards we just went back to our airbnb and had rested. we went back and was sunburnt all over and we walked so much so we’re really tired. it was a really fruitful day tho.

i will continue the other days in other post so it won’t be too long. 

till then,

💕

10 things to do in Seoul

I’m making this for students studying abroad in Korea from ONU.  This is actually going to be longer than 10 but still it’s a catchy name.  I’ll break it down into places, food, and activities. Got suggestions?  Send an Ask and I’ll post it!

I am putting it all in English but if you google these things you can write down the Korean name to recognize them in signs.

This is all Seoul specific!  There are GREAT things outside of Seoul that I did but I had a lot more time than you all do!

Places

Dongdaemun Night Market: Go with a Korean friend so you can haggle!  I honestly like going to DDmun’s whole sale building in the daytime but if you aren’t into crafts I would suggest doing the Night Market shop-a-thon.  When you exit DDmun’s subway you will encounter Heunginjimun, the Eastern Gate of Seoul’s original borders.  It’s a National treasure and incredibly beautiful.  I loved to just visit and look at.  I think the Gates are iconic.  Click HERE for more info on this fashion district.

Insadong: This is a neat market with lots of pottery and Korean art.  It’s and older crowd and a bit expensive but THIS is where I would go for any gifts for family back home.  Click HERE for more info.  

Myeongdong: I actually don’t like Myeongdong but I think every American should go once just to understand how packed Seoul can be.  Click HERE.

Namdaemun: I’ve never actually been up Namdaemun Tower (afraid of heights!) but there IS a really neat Anime museum in the area that I loved!  I also ran into a Korean Textile Art Museum but that might be too niche for most.  The line for the Tower can get really long though so if you want to do that plan in advance. There is a traditional market here too AND you can go hiking at Namsan!  Click!

Yongsan Electronics District: This is a pretty neat place!  They sell video games, tvs, computers, cameras....whatever you need!  I’ve seen entire shops that do vintage video games.  If you really like Technology this is a fun place! Click!

Cat Cafes: This isn’t a particular place but I don’t know where else to put it.  Cafe culture is big in Korea and I encourage you to dive in deep!  고양이 is the word for cat.  This is a cute novel thing to do if you don’t mind spending a bit of money.  Generally speaking cat cafes are more expensive because of the animals.  You often pay an entrance fee but there are kitties so if you love cats or are missing your own it feels worth it.  You can check reviews on google for whichever you run into!

Everland:  If you like amusement parks this is for you!  I went in the Spring so I don’t know how fun it would be in the middle of summer but that doesn’t stop Ohioans going to Cedar Point!  I went for the zoo and the tulips (it was May) but there are rollercoasters as well!  Click!

Cheonggyecheon: This is in the Jongno area (a lot of these places are!) and it’s a nice little walkway river.  A lot of couples go here but I can just be relaxing to go by yourself. 

Note: While the subway is a great way to get around, it sort of distorts your perception of distance in Seoul.  If the weather is bareable i DO suggest just walking around the Jongno area (where DDmun/Insadong/ect. are).  You can use your subway map and the entrance way as markers to see how far you have gone.  You might be surprised to see how close things are.  On a nice day I would just walk around and found it very relaxing.  It will also help you understand the bus system and subway system a little better!

Things I’d probably pass up: 

Gangnam: I guess if you are interested in expensive clothes and lots of people you can go there.  Otherwise, the only good thing about it is food that I bet you can find elsewhere for less money.  

DMZ: I understand why someone might want to go to the DMZ but I didn’t want to do that.  I personally don’t find that the DMZ gives me any insight into the North/South divide and I spent my time talking with Koreans about their feelings and relationship with the North instead.  It’s also really expensive and really stressful and super sad.

Itaewon: Check it out I guess but you are in Korea for like 30 days.  Don’t spend it hanging out with the Americans....HOWEVER: Haebonchon (HBC), right next to Itaewon is just as overrun with westerners but it did have a great Makgeolli bar...I liked that a lot haha.  On the other end of Itaewon is THIS art museum which I highly recommend.  

Activities

Noraebang: If you like Karaoke this is for you!  Get a singing room with your friends and sign along.  Depending on which one you go to the songs maybe older, more Korean, more modern, whatever.  The computer rates your performance at the end which is funny.  It’s great to go to a late night Noraebang after drinking with friends!  Very safe way to enjoy a night out.

All Nighters:  The subway closes at like 11pm but that doesn’t mean Seoul does!  It’s not uncommon to just stay out until the subway opens again.  Starting with dinner, going to bars, singing rooms, clubs, or just walk around for a while!  I suggest doing this with Korean friends or friends who have been there a while.  It’s tons of fun but you WILL be really tired.  See an example HERE.

Temple stay: I didn’t do a Temple stay but I wish I had.  Some of the most beautiful places in Seoul and Korea are the temples. If you are more introspective I would do this with your free time.  CLICK

Jjim jil bang: If you are ok with your body and/or possibly getting a lot of stares trying a jjim jil bang is a cool experience.  They can be relaxing and rejuvenating for the right people.  Also many are open all night so if you want to incorporate it into your All Nighter go right ahead!

Clubbing: I’m not into nightlife and dancing.  I’d rather go to a winebar or or something quieter with friends.  If that’s your thing tho go right on ahead! Hongdae has a lot of clubs but I hear there are better ones elsewhere.  

Baseball/Soccer Game:  Again...I don’t do sports.  But I have been to a few soccer games in Korea and they were pretty fun.  Baseball and Soccer big followings so it’s a great way to connect with Koreans (especially younger Korean Men) and it’s pretty cheap!

Movies: Go see the new Spiderman or something!  If your Korean friend knows a place that does English subs see a Korean movie.  Why?  1) Movies have seating arrangement which is only starting to take off in certain parts of the states now.  2) THE SNACKS!!!  I LOVE Korean sweet popcorn!

If a Korean friend invites you to a thing or their house make time!  Visiting a Korean home helps you understand who Koreans are and really make those lasting bonds.  I miss my Korean friends terribly and I wish I had spent more time with them when I could have!

Food 

In this sections I’m just going to name them with English letters and you can google photos. 

BBQ: Korean BBQ is an experience!  And Seoul is best known for it.  You don’t have to spend a ton of money to get great BBQ; in fact some of my favorite BBQ times were at hole-in-the-wall joints. Going with a Korean friends means they can help you find the best cuts of meat, pair it with the perfect soju, and have a great time.  Americans don’t like the idea of cooking their own food at a restaurant but this atmosphere makes it feel more social.  In fact, some places won’t serve a single person!

Wellbeing food: This is like the Korean version of organic.  Wellbeing foods are supposed to be healthy and balanced.  They are generally Korean foods like Bibimbap or Juk or Tteok Mandu Guk, but the restaurant has a clean, minimalist feel. It’s more expensive than your Kimbap Naru of course but it’s a nice change up and you do feel good eating there.

Kimchi/Banchan: This is a given.  But try as many kimchis as you are offered!  Unless you have an allergy or a serious dietary restriction, it’s better to eat first ask later. Kimchis change a LOT from place to place.  So maybe you didn’t like it at one place, but that doesn’t mean you won’t love it at another!  The same with other side dishes.  Don’t let your western lens fool you into missing out on Korea’s proudest contribution to the culinary arts.

Street Food: My fav. street food was Hotteok, a hot brown sugar pancake that I would eat in the winter between classes.  But there are lots of different kinds of street food!  Tteokbokki is obviously a big one but be honest about your ability to handle heat.  Koreans will often say something is spicy or too hot because they see a Western person.  For me, spice was not a problem; I eat like a Korean.  But for a lot of Westerners, they were not honest about their limits and made a fool out of themselves.

Jjukkumi: If you can handle spice with the best of them I do suggest trying this.  Fair warning: it’s little octopuses!  I fell in love with this dish as soon as I tried it. But it is spicy!  My limit is when I get shivers eating a food and my nose runs. For most Americans that would be a 15 out of 10 on their spice scale. This is at my limit so BEWARE.

Guksu: Korean Noodles.  I loooove guksu!  It’s really filling and cheap!  I also think it’s western-safe.  These noodles are long!  So it will really work your chopsticks skills.

Korean-Chinese: Things like jajangmyeon and jjampong and kkanpunggi are all examples of Korean-Chinese food.  I don’t like American-Chinese food (think China King) but I do like Korean-Chinese in smaller doses.  I think you should try it just to see how different it can be!  

Naengmyeon: cold, buckwheat noodles.  This is super Korean and most Westerns DON’T like it.  But I loooove it.  I make mine spicy with the hot mustard and I like the places that serve a side of beef with the order.  In the winter my favorite place also served it with bone broth as a drink.  Yum!  I eat this year round but a lot of people like it when it’s hot out.

Tea: Green tea, corn tea, plum tea, citron tea...TEA!  You might think you hate tea but you haven’t tried tea in Asia!  In fact a lot of restaurants serve you a wellbeing tea cold in the summer.  It’s refreshing and a nice switch from water.  Go to a tea house and try Korean tea!!!  I thought I wasn’t a fan until I was hot and sweaty walking to immigration in June and a church offered me chilled green tea.  SOLD!  Tea doesn’t have sugar in it usually (unless it’s something like citron) so it really is a healthy drink!

Tteok: You may not be able to eat the spicy tteokbokki but you can try plain tteok!  There are so many kinds of ways to make tteok that you should not turn away after trying just one.  I like the plain tteok sticks.  they are white and chewy and very bland.  Others like the softer, more cake like versions.  It can be an acquired taste but sometimes it’s really nice!

I could keep going but really the moral is: eat Korean, eat it often!  Try everything that you can!  There are very few things Koreans eat that I’ve not warmed to.  Even Beondegi I tried and just found not very tasty (I guess I think roasted bugs tastes like twigs).  Many more times I’ve tried something to find it delightful!
