Hello everyone. I'm currently losing my mind.
BOC released a new teaser for the final episode of DFF, in order to promote their live event for it and it gave me so many thoughts. In case you haven't seen it, it's this one on Instagram (they've also posted it on Twitter).
It's so trippy and cool and it gave us a lot of good shots of all the characters and what haunts them in regards to Non, but I'll focus on Tee and White, because I have my biases and that's so valid of me.
(I'll assume everything in the trailer is symbolic, like in the first trailer they had released and do my analysis with that assumption in mind.)
Long post ahead:
After we get a brief montage of moments we've already seen in the show with some beautiful background music (it's this one, I love it), we see the brothers and then we start seeing everyone's fears. We see Fluke being scared of the police catching him, we see Top being scared of a haunting, bloody Non chasing him in the forest and then,
we see Tee.

Tee is holding Non's knife in his hands, looking arguably disgusted with it (with himself). The scene cuts to three consecutive visuals which you have to pause the teaser to see clearly. I tried my best here, apologies if the quality is bad.

Tee feels guilt for what happened to Non. I think everyone can understand this by now. He observes the knife in his hands drowning in this feeling, and it creates the image of himself pointing the knife directly onto Non's stomach, who's wearing the T-shirt he wore the day he got drugged and taken away to Tee's uncle. It's very intriguing to me how Non seems to either be trying to stop him or urging Tee to stab him. We'll find out soon enough what's the case.
But the real winner is the two images after that.
Because they involve White.

OK first things first, the shot is gorgeous. I love the colors and the framing and everything about it.
They're inside what seems to be a gaming room, which I'll assume is where they probably met, based on the Without Me MV BOC put out a few weeks ago.
(Notice how the color pallette is the same, too)


Tee is wearing his school uniform (stuck in the past, stuck to Non), while White is wearing the clothes from the cabin (in the present, away from Non but not really). They already are in two different timelines, which is also evident by their positions - Tee is a few steps behind White in the visual.
What caught my attention, besides everything else, was those shiny things on the floor. I can't see them very well, but in my opinion, they're condom wrappers. They go all the way back, symbolizing the duration of the relationship between Tee and White.
The interesting thing here, to me, is how they stop just before Tee's body, and then reappear after him, in front of White, with some of them dipped in blood.
A lot of people, me included, think NonWhite is a possibility, which makes this choice here very interesting. I'll grab onto it with two hands and wait to see what will be revealed tomorrow.
Speaking of Non, I think it's fair to assume the blood on the floor is Non's blood, which makes White staring directly into it become another version of Non, narrative wise. Both innocent boys entangled in Tee's life, both suffering because of Tee. My good friend @wretchedamaranth told me it reminded them of this painting of Narcissus by Caravaggio: White is looking at himself, as if the blood has become a mirror.

Which makes the next visual even more telling: blood separated by a thin line (it's almost blurred but it isn't, White becomes Non becomes White in Tee's eyes). On the right, the big amount is Non's, on the left, White's shadow is creeping into the shot.
It's White's blood. White is going to die.

We get zero things on White besides this. Absolutely none. Does this mean White is indeed a bystander in all of this? Should we take the words of Fuaiz here at face value?


(Source: DFF BTS Ep10)
Fuaiz could be talking about the scene we have seen, not what will come after. But he could just as well be talking in general about White as a character.
All I have to say is: Brace yourselves, fellow TeeWhite fans. We're in for a tragedy.
#I missed BOC's incredible trailers without even realizing it#I'm so hyped to see how DFF will end#I can't wait to cry my eyes out about TeeWhite#dead friend forever#teewhite#meta post

Ok y’all!!! Our first chance to hear JK’s vocals for Seven!!
youtube
OMG!!! So to say that I am excited is an understatement! This little teaser left me wanting so much more!!!
JK looks so happy! He is doing what he loves to do … what he was born to do 🥰 And may I say his vocals…🔥🔥🔥. The lyrics I was able to hear were “loving you….seven days a week”… Did y’all hear them too?
The gentleman seen with him is Andrew Watt…an American music producer with quite an impressive resume!!! He has worked with so many artists, including Ozzy Osborne, Post Malone and Bieber. He is a Grammy winner too! They brought in the heavy hitters for this song, that’s for sure.
The song itself feels like a great Summer song, catchy and fun. A song that will make you want to turn up the radio and roll the windows down … a summer anthem for sure! One of those songs that even years from now when you listen to it, it’ll take you back to Summer 2023🌞
Now we wait for the MV video teaser in 2 days…..
Get ready y’all…..
Seven is coming…and JK is gonna bring the heat 🔥🔥🔥

My thoughts on Batter Up by Babymonster
First things first; I really liked it! It's a good song and I'm happy to see that most people agree. Of course there is critisism, but there always is when big 4 groups debut (though I agree big 4 debuts should be held to a higher standard because they have all the money and connections)
The song is good. I'm not going to call it 10/10 because there are some things I wished were different, but overall I'm very satisfied with the result. It's catchy and it will still hold up when they are further in their career.
The chorus is a bit empty but it grew on me after a few listens. I do agree it sounds a bit too much like Lisa's Money. It sounds very much like a YG song (which is good for me because I love the YG sound), but with that, they kind of failed to let Baemon have their own unique sound right from debut. I remember YG stating that WINNER's music needed to be completely different from BigBang because they were YG's new boygroup and he wanted them to be unique and that worked. Now Baemon is getting compared to Blackpink and I understand why. It might be too similar to Blackpinks music which is a shame because the Babymonster members have such unique voices and they don't sound like BP at all.
And that's my second regret with the song. Their unique vocals don't stand out enough because there isn't enough singing in the song. They sing in the pre-chorus and that's kind of it. The verses are talk-singing and the chorus is empty. It would have been cool if they debuted with a bside that showed of their vocals more. (something RnB!)
The rap was great! I'll have to wait for Hyunsuk to go on Weverse live but It does seem like he wrote Ruka's part and Asa wrote her own rap. I'm happy Asa was able to fit her fast style of rapping in the song. I really love it alot.
I like the YG ending, I like that it's a song fans will be able to party to and chant to together with the members at the end. It has a fun vibe that's shown with the members smiling while performing the choreo in the MV (especially Chiquita!)
The MV is fun and, just like the song, will hold up well in a few years. It's a bit all over the place though, it's like they wanted to show as much as possible and forgot to make it narratively coherent. It's lots of cool sets that don't really have anything to do with eachother. I do think the the two themes in the MV were clearly 'Youth' (the classroom, the school bus, the uniforms, baseball) and 'New Beginnings' (Batter Up, the broken egg, the broken cage, the defrosting of the ice (I'll admit that one's a stretch lol). I'm happy it's so crowded though... After watching the teaser I was really worried it would be like 3 sets in a white void, so I was relieved watching the MV
The best scene is definitely Rora's flower scene. She looks absolutely gorgeous and she stole my heart 🙈

The outfits are all great too. I don't have a single complaint, they all look fantastic in every scene!!
They haven't shown the choreo much, but I'm not really impressed by what is shown in the MV. That doesn't really mean anything though. There have been many instances where I ended up loving the choreo if I saw it performed in full.
Spreaking of performances, will Baemon even go on music shows for Batter Up???? Apparently they aren't attending Inkigayo this week?? There has been no confirmation for any other music show performance and in december lots of music shows won't be broadcasting at all...
I've been a YG stan for quite a few years now and time and time again my patience and faith in the company is tested I swear to God. I have long learned not to get my hopes up, but only giving bare minimum promotion to your first girl group in 7 years seems a bit much no?? I really hope this is not the case and many more content is to come, but honestly I wouldn't be surprised it there wasn't.
There are many thing I probably forgot to talk about, but this is most of it. I miss Ahyeon, I think this concept would suit her very well and if she ever rejoins the group she would fit in perfectly! Nevertheless I'm very proud of the records Baemon has broken already. Most watched kpop group debut MV in the first 24 hours ever 👑 + most watched Kpop group MV in the first 24 hours in 2023 🏆
Congratulation on debuting Babymonster! 👏👏👏 I hope we get to see a live performance very soon 🙏

2024 Retrospective: Album of the Year
Like last year, this is going to be a ranking from best to worst. Though I am excluding single albums as it doesn’t feel fair to compare a mini or full album to a 2-song single. I still want to write about them, but I’m going to put them at the very end. Beware, this is going to be a long one.
PITTA – New Normal Life (7,3/10)
Hyungho really has a voice that never gets boring to me and this album really showcases that the best. His range is absolutely insane. Aside from one song, all of the tracks on this album made it onto my playlist. It’s just really that good. It also very much helps, that it reminds me of OO-LI and Colorful Trauma, the last winners of this ranking. I guess I just have a type. Packaging-wise, there isn’t much going on. The album is shockingly thin compared to ID: PITTA and BE FREE and there aren’t really any inclusions. I accidentally managed to break it though, because I tried to get the CD out on the wrong side. I’d say that’s 99,5% my fault.
Apollon 8/10 – Haunting and beautiful. I imagine this is what you hear at the pearly gates.
Don’t Be Quiet 7/10 – Makes me want to shout.
G.T.H.O 8/10 – Should have played this when my co-worker was fired. Or when my boss quit.
Newness 7/10 – Just badass, really.
Better 8/10 – Makes me want to lie down in a puddle and cry. Feels like an answer to Drowning (by WOODZ).
This Song 6/10 – His voice is beautiful, but the song is just fine.
PURPLE KISS – Headway (7,2/10)
This album kind off came out of nowhere. They started teasing for it barely a week before the comeback and we got MV teasers before we even got the highlight medley. By all intents and purposes, this should be a mess. But it might be one of PURPLE KISS’ strongest mini albums to date. After the release of BXX anything would be though (more on that later). The packaging does reflect the mess though. It’s a sleeve, which is usually not terrible, but it’s loose and I don’t understand why they would print the cover sideways. RBW did this with Gravity (by ONEWE) as well and it’s just not a good design choice.
Intro: Concrete Jungle 7/10 – My second favourite Intro by PURPLE KISS, probably.
ON MY BIKE 8/10 – Beginning reminds me a little of Wicked Love but in a good way. The Outro/Final Chorus is also one of the coolest of the year.
Sweet Nightmare 7/10 – There could be a little more going on with the lyrics, but it’s catchy, so I’m willing to overlook that.
Encore 8/10 – New favourite song from them, tbh.
Light the Way 6/10 – Hopeful ballads are really underrated.
Ten – TEN (7,2/10)
(I thought the album was called Nightwalker…) Really, it’s just a solid solo debut album. It’s what he deserves, honestly. I don’t necessarily understand why all of the songs are in English, but they all slap, so I don’t care really. The packaging does work, but it also feels a little cheap, which seems to be the standard for SM most of the time. I don’t know, I just think it deserved something cooler.
Nightwalker 8/10 – Showstopping. I couldn’t have imagined a better debut song for Ten myself.
Water 6/10 – I imagine a lot of fans feel thirsty after hearing this song (not me though, sorry).
Dangerous 9/10 – One of the best songs of the year. Genuinely as suave as it’s trying to be.
On Ten 6/10 – I can appreciate what this song is trying to do, but it doesn’t work for me.
Shadow 7/10 – Strengthens my thesis that songs called Shadow can do no wrong.
Lie With You 7/10 – Sounds like a Harry Styles or Ed Sheran song (affectionate).
Kenshi Yonezu – LOST CORNER (7,1/10)
It has really been a while since Kenshi Yonezus last album. Stray Sheep came out in 2020, and he released a bunch of singles since, which were all really fantastic and definitely boost the score of the album up. The songs from the album itself are also good though. The cover art of the album looks really cool. Apparently, he made it himself, which I’m willing to believe since he has made past cover artwork. It really helps with the charm of the album.
RED OUT 9/10 – One of the most complete sounding songs of the year, despite being under 3 minutes.
KICK BACK 9/10 – One of his best songs, probably. Will always be a banger.
MARGHERITA 8/10 – Might be my favourite collab of him. Their voices sound really nice together.
POP SONG 8/10 – Just funky goodness. Might be the best console ad ever.
Shinigami 10/10 – My favourite song of him tbh. It’s just so well written.
Mainichi 7/10 – Beginning is kind of weird, but the rest of the song is good, so it doesn’t matter.
LADY 6/10 – One of his most nothing songs, honestly.
Yumeutsutsu 5/10 – He has much better ballads to listen to instead of this one.
Sayonara, Mata Itsuka! 8/10 – A positive break up song? Not unheard of, but rarely done this funky.
Tomaremiyo 7/10 – Just fun.
LENS FLARE 6/10 – His voice in this song sounds amazing, but it could be a little more.
Tsuki wo Miteita – Moongazing 8/10 – Cinematic and grand.
M87 7/10 – A really solid ballad, honestly.
Pale Blue 6/10 – Was beaten out as a single by its B-Side and is also sinking here.
Garakuta 7/10 – I’m just saying, if I were fighting with my partner and some random dude started singing dramatically behind us, I would punch him.
YELLOW GHOST 6/10 – The vocals sound a little weird on this song.
POST HUMAN 6/10 – Kind of dull.
Chikyugi 6/10 – I feel like this song is not as emotional as it could be.
LOST CORNER 7/10 – Encapsulates the vibes of the album really well, as its namesake.
OHAYO 6/10 – This might be one of his most unique songs, but I don’t know if that is a positive thing.
Jaejoong – Flower Garden (7/10)
Not only does this album serve as a celebration of his past 20 years of music, but also as a really good stand-alone release. It has vibes of his older emo-rock influences all over it, just more positive. His voice is still really good. He also managed to get a collaboration with MIYAVI on it, which means that he now has collaborated with 3 of the 4 “Last Rockstars” (Yoshiki, we’re waiting). It shouldn’t have come as a surprise to me, but it still did. This album really is massive. It’s not the biggest album I own, but it does really fill up the shelf. It also looks really pretty. The design on the cover is supposed to be reminiscent of his back tattoo and I think that’s really cool. Personally, I think the black version looks a little cooler than the white version, but I’m not complaining about what I got. The puzzle is also a really cool idea for an album inclusion, though maybe it shouldn’t come already done. It’s also very satisfying to open and close.
Good News 8/10 – I feel like this song deserves to have a cool performance attached to it. It also would have been funny if he performed this on Inkigayo.
Glorious Day 7/10 – It is glorious indeed.
Dream Party 7/10 – Jamming out to this, but like… softly. Snoopy happy dancing.
The Light 6/10 – The voice editing sounds a little weird, but it’s still a really cool collab.
To The Boy 7/10 – It makes me smile, but also sad at the same time.
Tru Love Tru Lies 7/10 – I can see why he wanted to make this a vocal challenge for other idols. I don’t think many would have managed to succeed though.
Summer J 6/10 – It feels kind of weird to get a summer anthem from Jaejoong, but I’m not complaining.
Devotion 6/10 – Writing wise it’s fine, but Jaejoongs vocals carry it hard.
Dopamine 7/10 – Jaejoong showing everyone how it’s done. Also, still wild to me that this collab exists in the first place.
Don’t 7/10 – Hilarious, yet also terrifying when you read the lyrics. The one time random noises make sense in a melody.
Concrete Heart 9/10 – I don’t think I ever heard a Jaejoong ballad that I didn’t like. Showstopping, honestly.
Rain Shower 6/10 – Makes me want to dance in the rain.
I AM U 8/10 – As far as songs written for fans go, I think this is the best one. Also watching him perform this on Inkigayo made me cry.
201208 – It’s not really a song, so I don’t think I can rate it, and I also have been unable to find a translation of it. If anyone has one, please let me know.
ONF – Beautiful Shadow (6,8/10)
I have to say, this is not what I expected from them after their military enlistment, but it’s really good. All of the songs on this album are just really solid and catchy. The packaging is fairly solid. It’s one of the few times where a book sleeve is not too tight and thus pulling on the edges of the cover. However, the CD is just shoved into an envelope that isn’t even attached, which happens to often really. I feel like I mention this being a problem with albums every year.
Bye My Monster 8/10 – Love to see theatrical ONF. It’s really just the right amount of dramatic for them.
Aphrodite 7/10 – Feels more like a 2nd Gen song. Very campy.
Breath, Haze & Shadow 6/10 – Beautiful Vocals, but I wish there was more to it.
Chemical Type 6/10 – I still don’t understand how chemistry is romantic but go off guys!
Slave to the Rhythm 7/10 – Not the best song on the album, but the one I have the most fun with.
ENHYPEN – MEMORABILIA (6,7/10)
I’d like to state that I bought this album purely because it looked cool. I hadn’t listened to it previously and didn’t even know it came out. But I really enjoyed it. Fatal Trouble is probably their best song to date and also the best song to come out of HYBE this year. I know why they didn’t promote it, but that doesn't mean I understand it. The metal box does look really cool. I don’t really know how to put in on my shelf, but it would look fancy anywhere, I think. I put it with the rest of my albums, which looks a bit funny, but that’s fine with me (for now). The inclusions with the album are also cool, but I think someone who actually read the webtoon might get something more out of them than me.
One in A Billion 6/10 - I feel like the chorus needed a few more rewrites.
CRIMINAL LOVE 7/10 – One of the best songs to come out of HYBE last year (2023).
Fatal Trouble 8/10 – The vocals could be a little heavier, but that doesn't dim my enjoyment of the song at all.
Teeth 7/10 – I feel like it shouldn’t work, but it does.
Lucifer 6/10 – The mixing sounds a little weird, but it’s still a jam.
Scream 6/10 – Remind me to never get into a car driven by one of them.
F.T. Island – Serious (6,7/10)
It’s been a while since we last heard of F.T. Island and this album really makes it seem like they never left. I completely forgot though how good Hongkis voice sounds. He really has a very theatrical voice and it mixes well with the type of music on this album. They should do dramatic rock, really. The folder design of the album is pretty solid. The only weird thing I can find about it, is that the album name is only printed on the open side of it. I think it would look much cooler if it were on the spine.
Letter to Myself 6/10 – Feels oddly comforting.
BURN IT 7/10 – Sounds like it should be on the soundtrack of the Devil Judge.
Serious 8/10 – Appropriately badass and theatrical for Hongkis voice.
Aqua (Korean Ver.) 7/10 – Sounds just as cool as the Original to me.
Sunrise Yellow (Korean Ver.) 6/10 – Fun, but it also feels like it could be much more.
T.I.V (Tears in Vain) 7/10 – I love the new genre emerging in K-Rock right now that’s encouraging someone or yourself not to cry, as opposed to feeling sad for yourself.
Inferno 8/10 – If I had a nickel for every time a song used a “gottasadae” chant and made it badass as fuck, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.
My Birthday (Korean Ver.) 6/10 – Sounds like he is singing without really opening his mouth, if that makes sense.
Journey 6/10 – Uplifting and depressing at the same time.
Reason 6/10 – Even on multiple listens of the song, I don’t quite know what to think off it.
Lee Seung Yoon – Pre-Release Album [YEOK SEONG] (6,6/10)
I didn’t realise this was a pre-release when I bought it. It’s objectively a hilarious thing to do though. It’s still a full album really. It just got a repackage. I don’t own the full album though. I listened to it and liked it, but all of my favourite tracks are already on this one, so I didn’t feel the need to buy it. The packaging is pretty simple, using a jewel case and a book with a sleeve around it. It fits well and doesn’t just slip off.
Waterfall 7/10 – I want to listen to this song while standing in the pouring rain.
POKZOOK TIME 8/10 – Has a really cool beat and guitar riff.
Strings as a Sword 7/10 – I don’t think you should bring strings to a swordfight, but he makes it sounds badass.
SOLD OUT 6/10 – Sounds cool but has little substance.
Return Match 6/10 – Appropriately cool.
28k! LOVE 8/10 – Sounds really hopeful and is just perfect to vibe along to.
Blown to Me 6/10 – Shelter of Dreams in less depressing.
Canon 5/10 – Kind of a nothingburger.
P1Harmony – SAD SONG (6,6/10)
They aren’t the only group I bought two albums of, but they are the only group where I enjoyed both releases. SAD SONG (the song) barely missed out on being in my top 10, actually. This whole mini album is just a vibe. Packaging-wise, it’s fine. It’s just a slim book. It does its job fine. The only thing I could complain about is that I own the A version, which means I get to look at them in knight costumes. It’s not that I dislike that, I just now wish that they would do a medieval inspired comeback.
SAD SONG 8/10 – Really just a full-on vibe. The most fun I had with a song this year.
It’s Alright 6/10 – The title is really the program.
Last Call 6/10 – Sounds more like they are singing “Let’s go” instead.
Welcome To 7/10 – Just a banger, really.
All You 6/10 – Sounds oddly like a Christmas song.
WASP 6/10 – They are good rappers, it just doesn’t sting.
SAD SONG (English Version) 7/10 – Still a banger, but I’m going to question its existence regardless.
E’LAST – Everlasting (6,5/10)
The only reason I bought this album was because I found it in the store and just couldn’t resist. And owning it, I noticed that the songs on this album have a different producer. Up until Thrill, all of their songs credited one guy and this album doesn’t. I don’t really know why this is. Perhaps he left or was fired after the scandal, who knows. And I’ll also be the first to say it: Their new producer either doesn’t know what to do with them or isn’t very good. There definitely are good songs on the album, but others are not so good. I don’t really have any notes about the packaging though. It caves inwards a little, which is weird, but it actually protects the CD quite well, which is rare nowadays.
Intro: Dystopia 8/10 – Their instrumental intros always slap, and this one is no exception.
Gasoline 6/10 – They make this song work, even though it absolutely shouldn’t. It’s very messy, though.
I 6/10 – Would be better without the post-chorus.
Addiction 6/10 – It’s Desire, but worse.
Fade Out 7/10 – Should have been the title track, really. A fun pop song.
Dark Light 8/10 – It wouldn’t have made a good title track, but it also feels too good to be relegated to a B-Side.
Candy Shop 6/10 – The kind of music you listen to while relaxing in a hot bath.
Rewind 6/10 – Yes, please let us rewind the clock back to 2022.
You 6/10 – A boring ballad.
Forever and One 6/10 – This is a cute ballad, but it could have been more.
P1Harmony – Killin’ It (6,4/10)
I liked some of their songs before, but this release was really what got me interested and also invested in the group. I honestly think that out of all the 4th Gen. groups known for doing noise music, they are doing it best. They make music sounds so fun and I really like that. This album is just fun to listen to. The packaging also mostly reflects that. I like the cartoony art style of the cover, and it does feel very secure, despite being made of cardboard. The misspelled English on the back is kind of funny though, when you remember that Keeho is Canadian, and no one noticed.
Killin’ It 7/10 – The type of fun noise music I like. Makes me want to see them collaborate with Stray Kids in some way.
Late Night Calls 7/10 – The type of music you listen to while on a long drive through the rain.
Everybody Clap 6/10 - *thunderous applause*
Love Story 6/10 – Solid ballad but nothing more.
Countdown to Love 6/10 – I like the rap parts, but the rest is a bit generic.
Emergency 7/10 – Is this what it sounds like when they have to drive one of their members to the hospital?
2Nite 6/10 – The chorus is really cool. The rest is… fine.
Let Me Love You 6/10 – I don’t think they’ll take no for an answer…
Street Star 7/10 – Sounds like a soundtrack for a racing game.
I See U 6/10 – Aggressively Average.
PURPLE KISS – BXX (6,2/10)
I think this mini album might be their most nothing and boring release to date. It just… sounds a little off. The vibes aren’t completely there. Maybe it’s just that this type of concept is so overdone and while they make it work, they deserve something better. RBW really needs to figure out what to do with them. The packaging is fine. The lid is not to tight or loose. The only thing, I could complain about is that the CD maybe shouldn’t be placed on top, if it’s barely protected. It should be in the folder, not on the outside of it. But I do have to appreciate that all of their releases are roughly the same size and format, just with different packaging that ranges from good to really bad.
Intro: Crush 6/10 – made me realise that I have a pet peeve about ending a song in the middle of a line. It makes the song sound incomplete, which would be fine for an intro, if it flows into the next track well. It doesn’t.
BBB 7/10 – It’s carried by their vocals, really. Also, please look up the pronunciation of caviar. It drives me insane that there are two different pronunciations of it.
Bitter Sweet 6/10 – Could be a little more cohesive, but the vocals save it.
Toy Boy 6/10 – Easy solution for your dilemma, girls: get off tinder!
Heart Attack 6/10 – Sounds a bit like a Taeyeon song.
Voyager 6/10 – This is what I imagine a dream to sound like.
And that’s all for full and mini albums. Now onto the three singles that would destroy this ranking on principle.
KISS OF LIFE – Midas Touch
It’s just really good. I’d say this comeback is the one that made me a fan, though their other releases this year weren’t as good. I gonna have to reduce points because the music video has nothing to do with Midas though. It’s not that hard to use gold instead of stone guys, it’s just a different effect. The packaging is fine. I’m not the biggest fan of magazines, but this one at least has games in it. I’m never going to play them, but they are a nice touch.
Midas Touch 8/10 – Just a solidly produced and performed pop anthem.
Nothing 7/10 – Makes me want to see them collaborate with PURPLE KISS.
RESCENE – Re:Scene
As far as debuts go, I think this one was really good. The girls are clearly talented, and their label really knows how to make them stand out from the crowd. It really seems like there was some thought put into this debut, and I like that. I own the PLVE version of the album though and I think it’s broken. I don’t know. I scanned the code with the app and downloaded it, but my WLAN died for a second and now I have an album I can look at but not listen to. I don’t know if that is what’s supposed to happen, mostly because I can’t find anything about PLVE online that was written in English. If it’s supposed to be like that, why create an album version you can’t listen to? And if it’s not, how do I fix it? Well, whatever. I still have the small standee, that was in it, on my shelf and the photocards are cool.
YoYo 8/10 – Reminiscent of 1st Gen music to me.
UhUh 7/10 – A really great debut. Reminds me of (G)I-DLE.
ATEEZ – Not Okay
It’s kind of sad to me, that this is my favourite ATEEZ release of the year, but their Golden Hour series just wasn’t it for me. This is pretty good though. To be fair, I only bought this single, because I found it at the store, but I do listen to it. Their Japanese could be a little better, I guess. They fall into a trap, that many idols fall into, when singing, where it does sound stiff and clearly learnt. It’s not too distracting from their vocals though. The packaging for this album isn’t fancy. It’s just a jewel case really. Fancy packaging hasn’t caught on in Japan quite yet, it seems.
NOT OKAY 7/10 – Their tiny bit awkward Japanese doesn’t dim my enjoyment of this song too much.
Days 6/10 – Sounds like it should be the Ending of a sports anime.

NOVA MISSION 007
SCHEDULE TYPE: TRIMESTER SCHEDULE RESTRICTIONS: cannot be paired with another trimester schedule, unless stated otherwise. for reference as to whether your muse is eligible for this event, please click over HERE.
early morning, on OCTOBER 7, the members of NOVA are met by their manager, GEUM SHINHYE, straight in their practice room. she's accompanied by her assistant, JI NAEUN, whose part-time contract has been extend until next april. this morning, the two older women have brought healthy breakfast for all the girls; fruit, oatmeal, yoghurt and, of course, each girls' favorite smoothie. "i know the last several months have been busy" shinhye begins, empathizing with her charges 'but let's give our best a little longer and then we can rest."
NOVEMBER COMEBACK
"as you know, your next comeback is on NOVEMBER 9. ahead of this date 'SUPERWOMAN' will be released on digital platform on OCTOBER 31 after the first episode of 'IUVENTA' has aired on tv. i know that OCTOBER 31 is an important date at the company, however, you'll be attending a press conference for the anime in the morning."
this comeback, there won't be any NOVA IUVENTA CINEMATICS due to the anime. however, the girls will film 4 music videos between OCTOBER 9 and OCTOBER 16 : SUPERWOMAN, GIRLS NEVER DIE, INNER DANCE and KEEP IT LOW (nayoung only). SUPERWOMAN's mv will be released on OCTOBER 31, while INNER DANCE and KEEP IT LOW will be released after the comeback, as special content for fans. furthermore, to encourage girls of every age, the comeback will be tied to a campain named "GIRLS NEVER…". participants will be asked to submit videos to show how their project/initiative/club/team 'never (word of their choice; example girls never quit). the members will then pick THREE videos that impressed them. the winners will receive a monetary prize to put towards their activity.
( ooc note: hairstyles will be chosen by the admod team, and will be revealed with the teasers ! )
music show promotions will begin on thursday NOVEMBER 10. during the first week, they will perform both 'GIRLS NEVER DIE' and 'SUPERWOMAN', then, during the second week, they will perform 'GIRLS NEVER DIE' and 'INNER DANCE'. finally, from the THIRD WEEK until DECEMBER 7, the girls will only perform the title track ('GIRLS NEVER DIE).
the girls will WIN all 5 SHOWS during their SECOND and THIRD weeks of promotions, for a total of 10 WINS.
( ooc note: with year end season at our door, some music shows will be canceled and other prerecorded, assume that nova follow those schedules too )
the girls will be visiting the usual shows; KBS' FM 'KISS THE RADIO' where they will sing 'GIRLS NEVER DIE', 'WOW' and 'SUPERWOMAN' live. this will be followed by a recording of 'GIRLS NEVER DIE' and 'SUPERWOMAN' with a live band for 'it's LIVE'. the group will then appear on STUDIO CHOOM to perform 'GIRLS NEVER DIE' and film a RELAY DANCE for the song.
regarding variety show appearances, this round of promotions, NOVA will be for the first time on KNOWING BROTHER and THE KSTARNEXTDOOR. with their growing popularity, the girls have received several other invitations, due to scheduling conflict and limited time, the girls will be split in pairs for the following shows:
HYERI'S CLUB: skye & nayoung (see example)
SUPERMAN RETURNS: minseo & mitzy (they will be summoned to nova's regular practice room and will find hyuncheol and aecha's 7 months old baby there. hyuncheol will have left a letter requesting them to look after his son for the afternoon. see inspiration here)
THE MANAGER: nabi & milan (the episode will follow shinhye as she takes care of the girls from morning to evening. for the first time, nova's dorm will be revealed on tv. the episode will show how meticulous and organized shinhye is behind the scene and how much she loves the members)
( psst; for bonus points, come up with an official name for your pairing ! )
finally, the group will be holding fameetings and fancalls from NOVEMBER to JANUARY 24. these will take place after their schedules, and mostly held online due to year-end schedules. though the fanmeetings and fancalls should happen at least once a week - and up to three times a week - there will be none during the busiest weeks of december. you may use this as an opportunity to write netizen articles if you wish to do so.
NEW POSITION
the company has noticed that WATANABE MIYU has wittily been using NOVA LYRICS on her SNS. as such, MITZI will be given the official position of SPOILER QUEEN internally. this means that THE MONTH before ANY new release, she is allowed - and even encouraged - to use lyrics of any upcoming tracks for her captions (tl;dr: no change ooc, just a formal permission to do so!). note that the company will never acknowledge this title publicly ;)
LESSONS
even before airing in korea, IUVENTA has been picked up by a japanase channel. the girls will be given the opportunity of VOICE ACTING their own characters should they reach a minimum proficiency in JAPANESE. to help them reach that goal from OCTOBER 8 to NOVEMBER 8, the girls will receive lessons 5 to 10 hours per week (WATANABE MIYU is exempted from this lessons). to be elligible for this opportunity, your muse needs to have reached a minimum of 60 JAPANESE language points by DECEMBER 31. furthermore, ALL the girls need to have reached a minimum of 40 JAPANESE language points by that same date.
YOUTUBE CONTENT

Alright, so we have a winner (or close enough). JK looks something frightening and holy in Seven so, yes please, I'm happy to drool over him and Jimin.
First off, have y'all actually watched the Teaser?
youtube
Do you hear the affected bass? The way it sounds like a revving motorcyle engine on 8D audio. Pitched. I'm not saying I want Jungkook on a motorcyle in the MV by the way, but I'm not not saying it either.
You know what I mean?
Anyway, here's stills:
(Baise-moi de côté. Cette personne est un homme!)
*
(My friend started a religion based on Jung Kook after the revelation that was this shot.)
*
(Jimin gets to love and be loved by him.)
*
(This sassy, dainty, k-pop idol in a lumberjack's body. (Il a au moins un cul de bûcheron..) An artist, warrior, and adorable dork rolled up in one. And one person he loves, is Jimin.)
*
Mood break shots...
*
...before we get to Jimin
*
...because Jimin is a lot to handle on his own. Y'all know he's my top visual in BTS.
*
ADKSJALJKDLASFJKAJAKDSDJFKAHJKADAHSLJ
*
Okay I need another JK break before Jimin
(Not like he is any easier to bear tbh.)
*
The fact Jimin just goes around looking like this is a bit sickening if you think about it.

*
Absolutely mental.

*
I don't know how Jimin biases do it tbh..

*
Like, there is no reason a man should be this fine.

*
But back to JK... Don't you just love how he always fully commits? I mean, look at that sleeve. This man did not compromise on a single thing.
*
Smh...

Don't sit there and lie to my face telling me this isn't a man who knows how to be a brat. He is. And Jimin knows how to match his energy. In my opinion.
Lol anyway,
I'm sure other bloggers have compiled more examples of their 'you are me I am you' similarities in FACE + Seven concept photos/teasers; I wrote this more to drool over them with you, as promised in the poll.
I hope you're all staying hydrated for Seven. :)

Sunday, August 28, 2022 ⥈ Fic Review #1
Dearest Readers,
We are delighted to share BTS Dream Court’s Fic Review for the month of August! Each month, we highlight an Esteemed Member of our Ton and a piece from their personal library. This month, we are proud to share that Baroness AJ @bangtanintotheroom received this honor.

TITLE: Delta Disorder
PAIRING: Hoseok x Reader
SUMMARY: “What should have been an easy sleep becomes an ordeal that not even your wildest imagination could have come up with.”
Read Here

What our Queens and Court Officials have to say about this fic:
❝ Delta Disorder was absolutely mind blowing. I remember reading it after those teaser photos were released and I was like 'wow, this is incredible!' The author did an amazing job creating the characters and their personalities. And the way it was pieced together was just the icing on the cake. It flowed smoothly and captivated you. By the time I got to the end, my eyes were wide. It was simply amazing and the author is very talented. It was a great read. ❞ - Queen Dee
❝ There was not a single moment where I was bored while reading this, AJ did a great job at keeping readers entertained. I absolutely loved Hoseok’s POV, this thoughts really helped us understand his character and definitely added to the overall reading experience! ❞ – Queen Val

What was your inspiration for Fic Title Here?
My inspiration came from the MV and photos from MORE! Hobi just looked like he was up to no good in that jester hat and outfit of his and somehow, the idea of him as a sleep paralysis demon just clicked and made sense.
Which of the characters do you relate to the most in Fic Title Here and why? Which was the most fun/difficult to write?
I guess I’d relate to OC the most? Just trying to get a good night’s sleep and then BAM! In comes a demon who decided to make you the lucky winner 😅 Hobi was more difficult to write because I wanted to get across how he views OC as a plaything for amusement rather than an equal.
How long have you been writing? What made you decide to write?
I have been writing on and off for about thirteen years now. My brain is always brewing with ideas and once I found out that people went and wrote them out, I decided to give it a shot. It’s fun comparing my writing from then to now 😆
What are your favorite tropes, genres, AUs, etc. to read and write?
It depends on my mood for reading, I can take almost anything, especially if there’s some humor laced in there. I have a soft spot for college AUs, there’s so many shenanigans you can include in them. I also love friends/idiots to lovers, it’s always fun to watch a relationship slowly go to the next level.
How do you overcome writers block?
I usually take a step back from writing and focus on more creative work instead, such as moodboards or banners. Looking for pictures usually helps bring my motivation back and gets the brain juices flowing once more.
What is the most difficult part of your writing process?
Um…actually writing my ideas down? 😅 My ideas tend to play out like a movie in my head so having to translate it on paper is rough at times.

When AJ isn’t writing, you can often find her playing video games, watching Let’s Plays, doing makeup, shopping or sleeping. AJ is a shoe department supervisor who hates messy customers and keeps blowing her paycheck on shoes. She’s working on refining her digital art in hopes of opening an online shop in the future. When AJ is craving something good to eat, she chooses burgers or pasta. AJ is very thankful for having such awesome friends and moots who inspire her every day.
BDC is proud to have AJ as a member of our Court and cannot wait to see what she shares next!

─ 10:45pm;
The last day of summer vacation is always fun until you realize that the sun has started to set and the inevitability of tomorrow starts creeping into your thoughts.
So what were you doing on your last day (or night in this case) of summer? You weren't doing anything special, just looking through your room and going through the various photos you had put up on your walls, recalling past memories from your previous years in high school.
Tomorrow night you were leaving your small town and moving across the country to attend college. Needless to say you were excited to move away and get a fresh start but the one thing you weren't ready for was to say goodbye to everyone.
You didn't have a going away party like everyone else, you decided not to because that meant you were actually leaving. Though your bags were packed and your room was put together, it didn't feel like you were going to college. The realization hasn't hit yet, it just felt like another normal night. You were busy looking through one of the memory boxes you had in your room when you felt your phone buzz, indicating you've gotten a text.
[sungie: hey]
[sungie: wanna go on an adventure?]
[you: wtf? the sun set already, if i get caught i'm done for!]
[sungie: c'mon.. live a little]
[sungie: im picking you up in five, get ready :)]
Park Jisung. Your best friend since, well, since elementary. He's the boy who you grew up with, the boy who you happened to survive all of high school and middle school with, he's also the boy who happened to capture your heart doing the simplest things you could imagine.
He was your first crush, but not your first boyfriend.
He also happened to be the boy who was always there for you, no matter what. So if you were going to spend your last night in the town you grew up in, why not spend it with your best friend, Park Jisung himself?
Seeing as that he was already on his way, it left you with no choice. Grabbing the closest hoodie near you, you silently made your way to your front door where you slipped on your shoes before heading outside as quietly as you could.
It takes a few minutes before you see a familiar car pull up on your childhood street. Approaching the vehicle, you hear music playing that's only being muffled due to the windows that are rolled up and the doors being shut closed.
"Hey." He says lowering the volume as you open the door to his passenger seat. "Are you ready?"
"You're fucking insane." You snort as you buckle your seatbelt. "Wake up my whole neighborhood why don't you?"
"I mean.. Only if you want me too.." He teases, placing his hand on his car horn.
"Don't you dare!" You squeal, trying to grab his wrist before he could attempt to wake up your whole neighborhood. To no avail, you failed which resulted in a fit of laughter from him.
"C'mon. Live a little." He says once more before driving away from your. house, turning out of your neighborhood and onto the empty streets.
"Where are we going?" You ask, watching the streetlights pass by.
"It's a surprise."
"That's so ominous."
"I know."
"Could you at least give me a hint?" You whine.
"I'll give you one word."
"I'll take whatever I can get."
"Okay, the word is playground."
"What the fuck is that supposed to mean?" You ask, shooting him a glare.
"Hey! you said you'll take what you can get, and I'm giving you one word." He defends.
"You're annoying." You mumble, turning away from him to look back out the window.
"So I've been told." He snorts, focusing his attention back on the road.
Your first stop of the night is the playground of your elementary school.
It was kind of unexpected because the last time you were here was probably when you attended school here, years ago. To be honest, you were expecting to be taken to the park near your house. The playground there was mostly abandoned due to all the kids on your street growing up, you would still see other children playing on the swings or sliding down one of the tube slides but those were on good days. Most of the time it was just empty.
"School?" You ask confused, watching as Jisung unbuckles his seatbelt and opens his door to step outside, you doing the same. "Jisung, we're way to big for this playground, you know that. Why are we even here?"
"You'll see." He says, grabbing your hand to drag you over towards the gate that they used to fence off the playground. ”Are you ready?"
"Ready for what?" You ask, earning a wink in response. "Oh my god.. Jisung no!"
Before you could realize what was about to happen, the hand that Jisung was using to hold yours was now being used to help pull himself over the chain linked fence that lead to your school's playground. After successfully throwing himself over the top of the fence and landing on the other side with a light thud, he smiles at you. "Your turn."
"What the hell?! No way!" You protest. "I can't even climb a fence! You know this!"
"Actually. That's false." He confidently states, knowing he’ll win this argument. "You climbed a fence Junior year when you were hanging out with Johnny Suh and his friends."
"What? Who told you that?!" You exclaim.
"Just a little someone who's name begins with a little 'Ren' and ends with 'Jun.'" He says playfully, sending you a little wink.
"That brat!" You whisper yell. "That’s the last time I tell Renjun something.." You add, mumbling.
"So, your turn." He repeats, gesturing towards the gate in front of you.
"I can't believe I'm fucking doing this." You mumble before continuing to hoist yourself over the metal fence. Your landing wasn’t as smooth as Jisung’s, seeing as you almost lost balance trying to get down from the top resulting in Jisung having to catch you so you didn’t break an ankle or something.
"See? That wasn't so bad." He snorts, letting you go.
"I hate you." You scoff. "Why are we even here again?"
"I'm glad you asked." He says smiling, grabbing your hand once more. This time, instead of leading you to a fence you had to jump be brings you to a small play structure. It takes you approximately a minute for you to realize where you were and where he was taking you.
"Right here." He says pointing to a red tube slide. "Our first stop of the night. This is where we first met, remember? You practically shoved me down this slide because you wanted to go down it and I was in your way."
You chuckle as the first memory of you and your best friend plays. "Of course? How could I not remember? I got called into the office afterwards because some kid told one of the teachers that I was bullying you. To this day, I still don't know who told on me."
“It was Wendy, if you wanted to know.” He adds. “She told me after she told on you.” He shrugs.
“Of course it was..” You mumble, hopping up to sit against one of the bottom steps that led up to the slide.
"Is this what we came here for?" You ask, looking up at the boy who was currently climbing up the side of the playground structure.
"Ding ding ding! We have a winner!" He yells loud enough for anyone in a five mile radius hear. Maybe it’s because of how quiet it is at this time of night, or maybe it’s because he just got louder whenever he was with you. But those were besides the point, if there were any cops around right now you two would definitely have gotten caught thanks to Jisung.
He makes his way to a safer spot, where he can jump down from the top of the playground. Despite the fact he moved you still scold him for his reckless actions. "Don't do that!! You’re going to get hurt! What happens when you jump off of something and finally break your ankle, hm?"
Jisung shrugs in response. "Well you see, it hasn’t happened yet. You can even check, I’m fine. It’s okay."
"You stress me out, you know." You scoff, turning away from him to walk towards the monkey bars that were once too tall for you, but now are nothing compared to your height.
"I know." He shouts from across the playground. Because of how quiet it was with just you two being there in the dead of night you could hear his footsteps along the playground structure. You could hear it creak every now and then, making you wonder if it was Jisung causing then noises of if it was just because of how old the structure is. You think about how long it's been here, how many children have played in the exact spots you were standing in and how many more will until they decide to finally remodel or get rid of it.
"It's been ages since I've been here." You whisper, running your hand along the cool, metal railing as you climb the short steps that lead up to the top, where Jisung was waiting for you.
"I know right? Do you remember this spot?" He asks, taking a seat on the platform, which barely has enough room for both of you. "We used to sit here and gossip about who we thought were cute in the fifth grade." He snorts.
"Yeah.. And when people tried to come up here you'd yell at them for the password." You laugh. "That was really fun. A simpler time." You add, going back replaying through some of your memories which were long forgotten.
For the next couple minutes you and Jisung just sit there, reminiscing to when you were both small children, where your only worry was your guy's spot on the playground being stolen.
“This is nice..” You think to yourself. “It feels the same, just like the good old days.”
"Uhm." Jisung coughs, getting your attention. "We better get going. There are more stops to go and well, we don't have all night do we?"
"Oh. Yeah." You sigh, not wanting to get up from your spot. "Where are we going now?" You ask.
"You'll see." He says, flashing you a grin.
You smile, rolling your eyes at the boy in front of you, who was now attempting (and failing) to slide down the slide in front of you.
"It’s not slippery anymore." He frowns.
"Well, yeah." You giggle, making your way down the same way you came up. "It's been years Sungie. What'd you expect?"
"I dunno. The same amount of slipperiness?"
"You're silly." You tease, lightly pinching his cheek. "Let's go." You’re about to walk away when Jisung grabs your wrist, stopping you from waltzing away to his car.
"Are you sure?" He asks. "You were kinda hesitant to jump a fence you’ll sure you'll be ready to do whatever else I have planned for tonight?" He teases.
"Depends." You hum. "Are we going to get into any kind of trouble?"
"That's up to us."
"Then of course I'm down." You say, dragging him back the way you entered.
─ 12:23am;
The next stop is in the city near your small town. To be more specific it's the rooftop of one of the many parking garages your city has. Jisung's car is the only car parked right now due to the time being nearly twelve thirty in the morning, and you just can't help but wonder why you spent the last half an hour driving to an empty parking garage.
"Okay Park Jisung, why are we here?" You ask, leaning against the railing to look outwards for any sign of reason.
"Well first of all, if you're looking for the reason why you're on the wrong side." He chuckles, leading you towards the opposite side of the rooftop. "And if you look to your left you'll see a small venue." He says in one of those touristy guide voices, earning a giggle from you.
"Hey! Isn't that where we-"
"Saw our first concert?" He cuts you off, finishing your sentence.
"Yeah.. I remember that night. We skipped school that day to make sure we made barricade." You snort.
"It was definitely worth missing a pop quiz and two weeks of being grounded." Jisung comments.
"You act like you didn't sneak out every night during those two weeks." You joke, lightly punching his arm.
He gives you a small pout and a fake "ow." in response. "Well, yeah?" He replies. "How else was I going to see my best friend?"
"Anyone ever told you you're annoying?" You ask rolling your eyes, leaving the edge of the rooftop to walk towards the center.
"Mmm." He hums, looking up to indicate that he was thinking. "I don't think so."
"Well, you are." You say before asking "So why the rooftop?"
"I'm glad you asked." He starts, pulling out a tiny speaker from his jacket pocket. "Remember how you said you were kinda sad that we haven't gone to a concert in a while?"
"Mhm."
"Well congratulations y/n l/n because here I have a tiny speaker that'll make it feel like we're having our own mini concert on the top of this garage building tonight!" He exclaims in a fake announcer voice.
Giggling, you smile at him before going along with the joke. "Oh wow? My own private concert? Right here? Right now? With the only relevant person in my life? How could I even think about passing that up!?"
Jisung snorts before handing you the wireless speaker, allowing you to connect your phone to it. The first song you play is "Ain't It Fun" by Paramore for the sole being of it being that song.
"Paramore?" Jisung asks, a bit confused on why you chose this song out of all things to play.
You smile at him before placing the speaker on the ground. Taking both his hands you say, "Jisung. It's fucking Paramore! Do you not remember this song? This is the one we used to blast on my speakers in my bedroom whenever we had a good day. I miss that. Now c'mon! Dance with me!" You giggle, dragging him away from the speaker and to an emptier spot in the parking lot. And so he does. It's not any choreography or anything, it's just you two jumping around on a rooftop to one of your feel good songs. A carefree moment to be exact, where it feels like nothing really matters anymore.
Jisung smiles, backing away from you to watch as you jammed your heart out. If anything, he would give everything just for you to have this moment forever. He knows how stressful life can be, not to mention how hard you worked just to barely make it into your dream school. He also knows how hard it is to feel alone, so he really isn't surprised that your chose thing song because it was your song. Jisung knows a lot more than you could ever know, so if it means he only has one night left to give you everything, then so be it.
Before you know it you watch as he runs towards you, engulfing you in a hug. Shocked, you try your best to look up towards the boy who had you in his arms. If you weren't this close to him you probably wouldn't have noticed the slight glossy look over his eyes, deciding not to touch on it for now and just accept the hug as the song fades into background noise.
"You're leaving tomorrow." Jisung whispers, before pulling apart from the hug, placing his hands on your shoulders. "You're leaving, tomorrow." He states once more this time, more softly while looking at you in the eyes. "You're gonna go off to some college and find a new, maybe get a new boyfriend, and even get a life of your own."
"You know I'll never replace you." You respond back, voice barely above a whisper. You were looking at the cement on the ground or the buildings that were only light being lit up by the various lights around or the night sky, which you definitely haven't seen in a while. You were looking anywhere, everywhere that wasn't your best friend, because you knew for a fact if you looked at him in this moment you would cry.
"But hey," You say speaking up, finally getting the courage to look him in the eye. "That all starts tomorrow. I'm still here right? We still have what? Like twelve hours? So let's make the most of it while we still can, okay?"
Jisung looks down at you before giving you a sad smile. "Actually it's seventeen hours." He sniffs, letting out a light laugh.
"Okay? So? I've got seventeen hours to spare, do you have seventeen hours to spare?" You ask, teasingly.
"You can have all my time in the world, y/n." Jisung replies, pulling you back into the hug.
"Glad to know." You giggle. "Because I'm willing to give you all of mine."
Soon enough the song ends and you hear the beginning of Fallingforyou by The 1975 start to play.
"Hey," Jisung whispers. "I- Uhm. You know this song reminds me of you?" He says.
"It's does?" You ask, voice muffled due to the fact you were speaking into his chest. "Why?"
"Oh god." He starts. "You can't make fun of me for this though." He says pulling away from the hug.
"I won't. I promise."
"Pinky promise?"
"Pinky promise."
"Okay well.." He starts, walking away from you. "Here goes nothing.." There's hesitation in his voice and you can't tell if it's because what he was going to say would hurt you or if he just never planned on telling you. It's silent for a few seconds before he breathes in and let's out a sigh.
"I used to like you, y'know."
Though this is just the start of his sentence you wonder why it already began to hurt. Perhaps it could be because he started his thought off with 'I used to like you.' Used to, meaning not anymore.
"Back in the beginning of Sophomore year, when I saw that you started dating Na Jaemin I realized how much I liked you. And when I saw how much you were with him and how much fun you were having with him I couldn't help but wish that were me.. I couldn't help but wonder what would've happened if I figured out my feelings before you got with him. And even after you two broke up, I couldn't help but wonder what would happen if I just confessed to you, out of the blue."
"Is that so?" You ask, walking towards the boy who was now seated on the hood of his car.
"Yeah." He whispers, looking down so he didn't have to face you.
"Well, then I have a confession to make." You state, hoping onto the empty space next to him to take a seat. "I used to like you to."
"You did?"
"I did." You hesitantly state.
"Oh.." He whispers. "How long ago?"
"A while ago." You say softly. "I never wanted to risk anything because I didn't want it to affect our friendship. I didn't want to imagine what would happen if we ended up breaking up on a bad note. I didn't want to risk losing my best friend."
"Oh." He sighs.
"What do you think would've happened if we dated?" You ask.
"I dunno actually. I mean, I don't think much would really change.. We're already pretty close, and we basically act like a couple anyways. Just look at us right now." Jisung responds.
You didn't realize it but currently you were snuggled up against his side, with his arm wrapped around you. If Jisung didn't point it you probably wouldn't have noticed. "We do everything together, and we always bring each other gifts. We even went to prom together, remember?"
"Well yeah.. as friends."
"That's besides the point. I'm talking about how people see us y/n. Go ask anyone, Donghyuck thought we were dating."
"He doesn't count. Donghyuck thinks everyone is dating." You snort.
"Okay, then ask Renjun. The reason why he told me you jumped that fence was because he thought that Johnny was gonna steal you from me."
"He did?"
"Yeah. His exact words were 'You're girlfriend just jumped a fence to hang out with J. Suh and them. I'd be careful if I were you, Johnny's known to steal each other's girls.' You should've seen how confused I was and how awkward it was to explain to him that we weren't a couple." Jisung laughs. "He was so confused."
"He thought we were dating?"
"Yeah."
"Jisung." You state, looking up at him. "This is my last night here. And before you tell me to shut up and enjoy the moment I want to tell you one thing, okay? It's really really important to me and I feel like if I don't tell you this right now, I may never will."
"Geez, you're dramatic." He jokes. "What's so important anyways?"
"I still like you."
"Oh.." He whispers. "Oh? Wai-Wait. You still like me?"
You nod.
"Like.. like-like?"
"Yes, like like-like." You chuckle.
"O-Oh.."
There's a moment of silence before anyone says anything else. The only things making noise are the sound of distant cars that you hear drive by, along with the wind as it decides to pick up a slight breeze. Your phone is still playing music but you can barely hear it over your light breathing, which to you, sounds like the loudest thing on world. Your head is occupied with thoughts on why you decided to confess right now and Jisung is left trying to process what you just told him. It only lasts for a few seconds, a minute at most, but it feels like an eternity.
"Hey y/n?" He says softly. You snap your head up, looking towards him. Half of you is ready to hear whatever he has to say while the other half of you is worried that you just ruined everything with four little words. "Yeah?" You ask as your voice cracks a little.
"I still like you too."
"You do?"
"I do."
"So the question becomes, what are we?" You whisper, looking back down at the ground. "I leave tomorrow."
"That doesn't mean anything.." Jisung mumbles.
"What are you talking about? Yes it does. It means everything."
"No, it doesn't." He states, jumping off of his car hood to stand in front of you. "Think about it, you leave tomorrow right?"
"Yeah.."
"Well, like you said. You're still with me right now and we've still got-" He stops, taking a second to glance at his phone to check the time. "About sixteen and a half hours to spare.. So, why not make the most of it?"
"What are you implying?"
He sighs, taking a step closer to you to grab both your hands and pull you off his car hood himself. "Will you, y/n l/n, be my girlfriend? Even if it is, just for tonight?"
You squeeze his hands, unsure of what to say. Of course you want to say yes, this is one of the moments you've been waiting for! Something you never expected to happen! So why were you feeling so unsure?
Maybe it's because you knew this wouldn't last forever, or maybe it's because it was your best friend. Either way, each option had it's pros and cons. You just couldn't figure out which ones outweighed the other.
If you say yes, then you would've got to experience your long term crush being your boyfriend. But it also meant it would end in less than 24 hours, and what if you didn't want that? Sure long distance is an option, but would you be able to do it?
If you say no.. Then what would happen? Would tonight just end up awkward? You didn't want to pine after some boy for so long, and you sure didn't want Jisung to feel embarrassed, especially since both of you just confessed to each other.
So what do you say? You don't have all the time in the world to pick an answer.
"If I were to say yes.." You say, speaking up. "Do you promise nothing will change between us afterwards? Will we still be friends after that?"
"We can be friends." He says. "Or we can be more than friends. We can be whatever you want. I just want you to be happy."
You sigh, letting go of his hands, only taking a second to look at him.
"What?" He asks, moving to get closer to you.
"Nothing." You sigh. "Just thinking."
"About what?"
"About.. us.. You know.. What are we going to do once the sun comes up?"
"Cry and then kiss some more?" He jokes, hoping to lighten the mood a bit.
"Sungie.. I'm being serious. What are we gonna do?"
"I don't know, y/n. If I'm going to be honest I don't want to think about it either.. I didn't think that far ahead!"
"I know you didn't but we have to talk about it. It's bound to happen."
"What is?"
"Us.. breaking up.."
"You didn't even accept my offer and you're already thinking about us breaking up?" He asks. In his head it sounded okay, but by the look on your face he can tell it came off differently.
"What?" You ask.
"We could always do long distance y'know.."
"Sungie. Look at me." You sigh, looking at him in the eyes. "I'm moving across country and you're staying here, without me. What did you think was going to happen?"
"I didn't think anything was going to happen! I just wanted to spend one night with you as my girlfriend!" He yells, and you take a step back at the sudden volume change.
"You expected me to say yes?"
"No! Of course not! I didn't even plan any of this! I prepared for the worst, but then you brought up the whole liking thing and it just.. I don't know?! Gave me hope?"
"I don't know.. what'll happen when the sun comes up, y/n. I don't know what'll happen at all. I just want you to be happy.. and if that means we have to finish this night as just friends, then I'll be okay with that. We can pretend like nothing happened and we can just go on-"
"What if I don't wanna pretend like nothing happened?" You ask, cutting him off.
"What if.. I wanna say yes, but I'm just too scared to?"
"Why would you be scared?" He asks.
"Because.. if I do.. and this happens to be the best night of my life.. I don't want it to end."
"The answer I want to give you is, 'it doesn't have to end.' but that would just be a broken promise on my part." He sighs, giving you a sad smile. "But the answer I will give you is, we can make the most of it, but that's only up to you. So I'm asking you again, y/n l/n. Will you be my girlfriend?"
"Yes." You sigh, nodding your head reluctantly.
He pulls you into a hug and even though it's just a hug, it's one of the best hugs you've ever experienced. It's more on the comforting side, which would explain why you felt warm and at home. But it different from the hugs you've shared before.
"So where are we off to now?" You ask, ready to officially start tonights adventure. It comes out more muffled due to the fact that you're still holding each other.
"You're so eager." Jisung pouts. "Can't we just stay like this for a while?"
"I suppose so.. It's nice."
─ 3:06am;
The third stop of the night is diner just a couple minutes away from your high school. It's open 24hours meaning you'd see students come here after dances and school events, two of them being you two. One of the convenient things about this place was that it also had a small arcade connected to it. Maybe it was just a marketing strategy, but it worked so this is where you spent the majority of your free time.
"Hungry?" He asks, pulling up in the parking spot in front of the entrance door.
"Why are we here?" You ask, glancing over at the radio to check the time. "It's three am.."
"So?" He asks. "Let me take you on a date. We can even share a milkshake if you'd like." He teases.
"How romantic." You snort.
"Y/n!! I'm being serious!" He whines. "Do you know how badly I've wanted to take you on a date here?"
"Well.. Technically we have gone on one, multiple to be exact." You claim.
"Oh yeah? Name them."
"Our study sessions for SAT's?"
"I meant a proper date! You call suffering together while we complain about the future a proper date?!" He exclaims.
"Okay then how about all the times we came here after a dance or sport event hmm?" You ask.
"Those don't count! We went as friends!"
"I like to count them as dates.." You admit. "After all, they're the best ones I've been on."
"Oh really?" He asks. "Better than the ones that Na Jaemin has taken you on?"
"Uh, yeah? Of course?"
"Take that Jaemin!" He exclaims, causing you to giggle.
"What's your deal with him anyways?" You ask, curious on what he has to say.
"Well.. he's the person I'm competing with, right? For best boyfriend?"
You roll your eyes. "It's not a competition. Besides, if it was, then you'd automatically win." You tease. "So are we going on a date or what?"
Jisung giggles. "Yeah. Let's go."
The diner is empty. There isn't anyone but a lone police officer, drinking a cup of what you assumed to be coffee; two girls who happen to look like they're on a date, and another boy, who seemed to be around you and Jisung's age, working on paper of some sort.
Taking your seat in a familiar spot you look past Jisung (who was seated in front of you) and out the window behind him. You still have a few more hours until the sun comes up, but seeing the moon slowly make it's way down hurts just a bit.
"Hey." Jisung says, drawing your attention back at him. "You zoned out a bit there, you're not falling asleep on me are you?" He teases.
"Pffft! You wish!" You say a little bit too loudly, earning a glare from the cop seated a few booths away from you.
"So about that milkshake.." You trail off. "What flavor did you get?"
"Strawberry."
You scrunch your nose at his answer. "Why?"
"I dunno." He shrugs. "It's pink, I thought it'd be romantic."
"You're cute."
"I know."
"That wasn't a compliment."
"I'll take it as one."
"I- Nevermind."
"Whaaat?"
"You're lucky you're cute."
"You think I'm cute?"
You scoff at him. "Of course I do."
"Ah, okay. Cause I think I'm cute too." He snickers.
"Hey!" You gasp, earning a light laugh from him.
"It's okay I think you're cute too." He says scrunching his nose.
You stick your tongue out at him, looking away to fake being upset.
"Ah boo hoo. Don't be like that."
You're just about to argue back when the waitress who took your order earlier places down the milkshake that Jisung ordered in the middle of you two. She also drops two straws on the table along with it. Both of you thank her and after she leaves you decide to ask Jisung a question.
"Hey Sungie?" You ask, ripping off the paper wrapping to your straw. "Why this place?"
"You're kidding me, right?"
With a smile, you shake your head no at his response and he lets out a sigh.
"Do you really want to know?"
"Yeah!" You nod. "Why?:
"This is where I realized that I was in love with you."
It takes a second for you to process what he had just said. It doesn't hit you right away but the more that you think about it, the more you realize what he meant.
"O-Oh.. Here?" You ask, as if you were unsure of where you were.
He nods in response and watches as you try to put together the pieces of how he figured out he loved you.
"Why?" You ask. "It's not like we've done anything special here. The most we've done is come here after prom.. and the rest of the dances I guess, but prom is the only one that I can really think about."
He giggles. "It doesn't have to be a big event for it to mean something y'know. I realized I was in love with you the summer going into sophomore year. You remember how we came here that night? After I so happened to convince you to sneak out and come to the movies with me?"
"Duh!" You exclaim. "How can I ever forget that?! I had to climb out my fucking window for you, do you know how scary that was? And we had to walk all the way there because neither of us could drive yet!"
"Hey in my defense I said that Johnny could've driven us. You just didn't wanna get caught!"
You roll your eyes at him. "No. That is not why, and hey! Don't try to make this conversation about me! You're the one who's supposed to be explaining stuff right now!"
"Damn." He scoffs. "Ya caught me. Well, anyways, before I was rudely interrupted-"
"You're the one who asked me a question!" You defend.
Ignoring you, he continues. "You remember how we were sitting in this spot, complaining about sophomore year before it even started?"
You nod.
"Well you were going off on some kind of rant- I don't even remember what it was about- but you just kept talking and you didn't seem to notice that I wasn't listening because I was too busy admiring how you looked. Maybe it was because it was the middle of the night, and both of us were very much sleep deprived but for some reason, it just hit me. I don't remember what it was about you, but it was that moment when I realized 'oh my god. this is what it's like to be in love.' y'know? Like you're finally realizing what it's like to be in love with someone, rather than just loving someone. Do you get what I mean?"
You shake your head no.
"Oh c'mon!" He whines. "I can't be the only one who knows what I'm talking about! It's like finally realizing what all the love songs are about, it's just like.. some kind of feeling! And it was just different how I felt from you, being my best friend, and you, being the person I had a crush on. I don't know how to explain it.. but it was just.. amazing."
"Yeah?" You ask.
"Yeah." He nods.
"Is that so? Well.. then maybe I do know what you're talking about."
"What do you mean?" He asks.
"You just did it."
"Wha- huh?! What did I do?"
"You're cute." You giggle.
"You weren't listening, huh?" He says, smiling.
"Nope! Not at all."
"So you do know what I'm talking about then?"
"Of course I do."
"You're so cute." He giggles.
"I know." You respond.
"I'm glad we agree."
─ 5:22am;
The last stop of the night is some place familiar. You didn't expect this location as much as you did others, so when Jisung decided to park here you didn't know what else to say.
"We're at.. your place?"
"Yeah." He nods, walking towards the gate that lead to his backyard.
"We're not going inside?" You ask, confused on where you were going.
"Pffft. Inside? Why would we go in there? Now c'mon, let's go."
Following Jisung into his backyard is nice. You see a lot of roses and plants that hug the side of his house. As you continue to walk you get various memories from when you two would hang out back here, before you got bored and decided that there was more to the world than Jisung's backyard.
"Okay. Do you want to go first? Or do you want me to?" He asks once you reach a ladder that lead to the roof of his house.
"You chose a ladder?" You whine. "Why didn't we just climb out one of your windows or something?"
"Because y/n!" He teases. "Where's the fun in that? Besides we've already done that before, why not do something different tonight?"
"You mean climb a ladder to sit on your roof instead of climbing out your bedroom window like we normally do?"
"See you do get me! That's exactly what I'm saying." He exclaims. "Now c'mon, up we go!" He smiles.
It's nicer than you expected. You don't know how or when he did it but he already had not one, but two blankets prepared. You assumed he put it here before he left to pick you up or he just asked one of your friends to leave them here. Judging by the fact that they didn't feel freezing cold, and that the ladder was already propped up to the side of his house when you got here, you assumed he asked Renjun or Jeno to leave them here.
"So.." You start.
"Please don't ask why I chose my own house." He jokes.
"Okay well first of all, I wasn't." You defend. "I was gonna ask what are we doing on your roof at five in the morning, but now that you mention it.. Why did you choose your house? We could've gone to so many other places."
He gives you a confused look, allowing you to ask, "What?"
"Please tell me the second question was a joke." He sighs.
You give him a smile and he pats the empty spot next to him, signaling for you to take a seat.
"Okay y/n, since you wanna know so badly, I'll tell you, yeah?" He asks, clearly annoyed at the fact that he chose his own house for gods sake.
You giggle. "You don't have to answer it you know. I know why."
"Okay, then I'll ask you. Why?"
"Because," You tease in a sing-songy voice. "Where else would we have gone? Technically, we started tonight at my place so why not end it with yours? We've spent a significant amount of time together, right?" You ask and he gives you a nod in return.
"Exactly. So it would just make sense that we have two halves of one whole, right? You pick out the places, and I bring back the memories. Right?" You explain.
"Congratulations. You've figured it out."
"Of course?" You giggle.
"Do you wanna know why we're up here though?" He asks.
"Yeah sure, why not?"
"It's because we can see the sunrise better from here. Yeah we used to just sit on the roof and talk in the middle of the day, or we'd watch the sun set, but we've never really watched it rise together before, y'know?"
"Really?" You ask. "Are you sure about that? We've pulled all nighters together before!"
"Yeah but one of us is either half asleep or just not paying attention."
"Hmm. I guess you're right about that." You hum.
"Do you promise we'll get a pretty sunrise?" You ask.
"Christ y/n. I don't control the weather! Who do I look like, mother nature?"
"Hey, mother nature is badass!" You scold. "She could literally end everything right here, right now."
"I suppose so." He hums, wrapping an arm around you to pull you closer to him. You rest your head against him and for a while you two just sit there in silence, no words just being said. Just the sounds of your breathing plus some birds chirping due to the current time. It's nice and comfortable. It feels like home.
You feel yourself about to start falling asleep when Jisung starts talking.
"I'm really gonna miss you.. y'know." He sighs, turning his head to look at you. If he didn't know you any better he'd think you actually fell asleep, it's only the sound of you humming the word "yeah?" that informs him you're still awake.
"What's the thing you're gonna miss most about me?" You ask.
"You expect me to chose one?" He asks, only earning another hum in response.
"Okay.. Well.. For starters, I'm going to miss seeing you everyday. I'm gonna miss not being able to text my best friend 'hey let's hangout today' and then just sitting in my room playing Mario Kart with you for the next three hours. I'm gonna miss your little roasts that you'd pull on me whenever I do anything stupid. I'm gonna miss our boba runs we used to have each week. I'm gonna miss causing chaos on the rest of our friends because how else are they going to prepare for trouble if there isn't two of us? There's so many things that I'm gonna miss about you that I could just go on and on about but we don't have enough time for that." He sighs.
"Really.. I'm just gonna miss you."
A second passes before Jisung decides to speak up again. "Are you gonna miss me too?"
"That's a silly question." You sigh. "Of course I am dummy. You expect me to not miss you? What am I gonna do without my partner in crime? My best friend and technically my boyfriend? You expect me to move across country and not miss you at all? Are you insane?!"
"Only a little." He jokes, earning a light punch from you.
"If I could take you with me I would."
"So why don't you?"
"Where are you gonna live? My fucking closet? I can't let you do that, you'll get too cramped in there." You joke.
"I guess.." He pouts.
"So.. What's gonna happen.. between us?" He asks.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, we're watching the sun rise, aren't we?"
"I guess.. I just didn't expect it to fly by that fast.." You mumble.
Another moment of comfortable silence passes before either of you say anything. This one lasts for about ten minutes, fifteen at most, with the only sounds being your shallow breathing catching your attention. It's comforting, just being like this. Laying on Jisung's side while having his arm wrapped around you and a blanket hugging you both. The wind picks up a breeze every now and then making you shiver a bit due to the lack of warmth but that only makes you snuggle closer to Jisung in hopes of stealing his body heat.
"Thank you.. for tonight." You whisper. "It's all I could've asked for."
"I'm really glad you liked it. I'm just happy I got to spent time with you before you left." He chuckles.
"I'm gonna miss you."
"Yeah?"
"So much."
The sunrise is pretty. It's one of the best ones you've seen in your entire life. It consisted of pinks, and yellows, and a little bit of purple. Though there were wispy clouds in it, it was like the earth was telling you it's okay to move on and go. Some may say it would be a perfect way to end a beautiful night, or in your case, the perfect way to say goodbye.
