#wishing you all the luck qian you got this

[kyaruun]

JLFJALKFKADS THE WAY I SPENT FOREVER SEARCHING FOR THE CODE ITSELF... dunno this language ??? clownface. will just Give Up For Now... i will keep though thamku

and yea that's what makes sense to me too randomNumber map gaaaaaaaah i'll put that on the back table for a bit

also about the college apps.............

in importance/weight

gpa (grades)

course rigor (how hard are your classes)

sat/act (exam)

extracurriculars (clubs/volunteer/projects)

college essay

the first 3 kinda determine your rank and if they are not sure whether to admit you or some other kid whos similar in the first 3 you have to stand out in 4 and 5 so 🤡 usa moment

i think it's all javascript! github is a pain the ass to navigate if you've never used it before or aren't used to repo organization. i despise it with a passion but i'm forced to use it a lot ahaha

dang you guys at the us really have it so hard ;; in here there's just this thing called something like uni entrance exam where they test you of every compulsory subject you're taking (most of the time that's spanish&lit, maths, history and english) and then you're free to take as many extra exams as you want (physics, bio, chem, etc.) all within 2-3 days, 2-4h long exams. with your results on that exam + your average on the last two years of highschool you get a score up to 14. you check whatever degree you wanna apply to, pray that the entrance score will be similar to last year's and apply 🙏

but wow. the more i read about it the more insane i find the american school system. the only thing i like it's that you guys have clubs and extracurriculars?? i would have killed to have that in school

[respectthepetty]

I think you should know that here instead of being sad for poor Yuan I was thinking "Oh @respectthepetty is gonna love this!"

EFF THE RED THREAD! GIVE ME THE BLACK BRACELET!

@imlivingformyselfdontmindme, I looked absolutely feral this episode because my smile just kept getting bigger like a comic book supervillain, and it's all because of the colors and that damn bracelet.

Yuan, who has been the lighter one, just could not get his self sorted out this episode as he started to unravel. He kept getting darker the closer he got to revealing his secret to Qian.

Once he got down on bended knee to cuff Qian, I truly believe Qian had to have a moment where he knew.

Then the shots of Qian!

He, in his darkness, was opposite of the light-people, but unlike with Yuan where he is in the shared space with him, with these people Qian was isolated from them.

Even the background helped show the division between Qian and the other light-people in his life.

And after that moment, for Qian everything existed in grey when it came to Yuan.

Biggest smile - Yuan had on the pink shirt after the confession.

And even though Yuan tried to meet Qian where their story began (in the red), Qian would not budge.

But even then, the red lingered.

For both of them.

Qian can't go back to his darkness BECAUSE HE KNOWS THE TRUTH NOW!

Yuan's confession has already changed him.

And it has changed Yuan who continues to sit in the light and the dark.

Even when Qian finally comes home, he isn't completely dark.

And Yuan defends Qian's action as the bright light glows behind him in his back shirt.

And this is the part that got me: Both of them, without each other, are isolated. We saw it the entire episode, but the final scenes reinforced it by boxing them in. Yuan, in the grey, mixing their colors once again

and Qian, trying to get back to the black.

But they are both still connected by that red thread of fate!

I'm praying that Qian slipped that black bracelet onto Yuan's door and not Lili because if the girl I hooked up with a few years ago was right, a black bracelet is a way to wish the receiver good luck like the Mexican red bracelet is given as a gift to protect a person.

If Qian gave Yuan that bracelet, it means he still wants the best for Yuan. He still wants Yuan to be safe even if Yuan is in the "dark"

Things have changed. Qian is lighter. Yuan is darker. But that red thread still connects them.

And what Qian doesn't realize is that that black bracelet represents Qian. It will become a part of Yuan, and he will carry it wherever he goes just like his love for Qian.

And he'll still have it after four years of separation.

That bracelet, and his love.

@ noisecomplaint ln yn isn't too fond of apartment living, between the occasional roaches and the person who keeps stealing her grocery deliveries. but especially because of her exceptionally loud next door neighbors whom she has decided: she cannot stand. it's not all bad though, certainly not when xiao dejun (the prettiest boy she's ever seen) lives in the building. well, it was a perk. until it's revealed that him and her next door neighbor are one in the same.

xiaojun. resident pretty boy, xiao dejun never seems to be down on his luck. is a statement he wished he could say in confidence. but between his neighbor who absolutely hates him (same neighbor who makes him feel light headed) and rooming with hendery, it doesn't look like the odds are going to be in his favor for a while. he wants hendery to stop bringing back hermit crabs to the apartment without telling him only to lose them and for xiaojun to find them in his bed in the middle of the night. gokinjo monogatari alignment? tsutomu yamaguchi.

kun. university student who seemingly lives about one hundred different lives (currently a bar tender who also volunteers at the dog shelter whilst doing graduate research), qian kun is somehow still ncit's star student, despite all his other responsibilities. he desperately wants to figure out where ten keeps misplacing his keys. is it that hard to answer a call?

ten. wait ten again? charismatic ten lee seems to be apart of every friend group, which knowing him, you wouldn't put it past him. caught between both yn and xiaojun's ends of their relationship, he feels a bit omniscient but offers no assistance beyond a few pushes in the right direction here or there. he wants kun to stop calling him five hundred times.

winwin. class crush (in every class), dong sicheng is the epitome of the university boyfriend archetype. or ... he would be, if every waking moment wasn't consumed with trying to either ignore or stop the antics of his friend group. he wants to find and destroy the copy of his apartment key that ten made so he can stop entering his house only to see ten in the living room.

hendery. handsome campus crush and co-captain of the basketball team huang guanheng has no complaints. well, if he had to have one it's that he (and by proxy, xiaojun) are one noise complaint away from getting an increase on their rent. not that xiaojun knows and hendery plans on keeping it that way. he wants to befriend his next door neighbor both for the benefit of teasing xiaojun about his enormous crush and also to keep her from filing any further noise complaints against them.

yangyang. undergraduate student liu yangyang can't exactly tell you how he got inducted into an all graduate student friend group. nor can he tell you if they know he's still an undergraduate (probably not). he wants to get a cat but his apartment has a strict no pet policy ... not that that will deter him.

Your stomach started to churn during the lesson so you pulled out a handful of white rabbit candy from the front pocket of your bag. There was more candy than school supplies in your bag so you generously handed a few each to Xiaojun and Kun, whose empty tummies thanked you greatly. The professor soon closed the lecture and the three of you headed out together.

"I don't suppose either of you guys have dance next?" You ask the two boys with a slight laugh.

Both shook their heads. Kun pulled out his schedule, "I have biology." Xiaojun was searching for something or someone behind you as he spoke, "My next class isn't until 2. I'm gonna go try to find one of my other friends. I'll see you guys later?" Kun and you farewelled Xiaojun’s take off.

"Come on, I'll walk you to the dance studio." Kun offered his arm, which you accepted. "You know where dance class is, but you aren't in it?" Kun shook his head, "One of my friends takes dance, as well. He got so lost this morning, I had to help him find the hall."

"Wow I wish I had a friend like you four hours ago.." You told him, remembering Xuejiao and her useless a.ss. Kun smiled, "He should still be in there. He has like 3 dance classes mixed in his schedule." You took note of this and unlinked your arm from Kun's as he delivered you to the dance hall. "Thank you for walking me."

"No problem. I'll catch you around. Good luck!" Kun waved good-bye as you walked into the studio. Immediately, you were hit with shocking sound waves and saw a few very skilled dancers performing some contemporary urban routine. You walked along the far wall to the back corner of the room to put your stuff down then unpacked your dance clothes and walked into the dressing rooms.

Dressing rooms in China are usually very strictly organized to separate genders. The room you walked into did not clearly decipher what gender it was made for, so you could only hope you chose the correct one. You turned a corner housing unoccupied lockers and.. a man fully clothed in ballet attire.. thankfully. The beautiful Asian man looked up from fixing his tights.

"I'm so sorry I thought this was the women's dressing room!" You stuttered, blushing in uncomfy embarrassment.

The man chuckled at you and stood up straight. "You're fine. Everything on this campus is co-ed." He said with a small eye roll. "Oh.. that's a little.. discomforting.." You said, dragging your eyes to the floor to avoid staring at the beautiful man's beautiful body.

He pointed to your dance clothes. "You're taking ballet?" You nodded. "So am I. The class is about to start.. you should get ready quickly." He walked past you, out into the studio.

The strange encounter gave you chills. You wondered if he was the friend Kun mentioned. After all, he was the fourth Asian guy you had seen today. Am I just like a magnet for cute Asian boys?

Taking his advice, you quickly got dressed and slipped out into the dance room where the instructor was already giving his new term speech. You tried to attract as little attention as possible as you walked to sit in an empty space on the floor, which was a little further ahead from the boy you previously met.

"So enough about myself, let's go around the room and have each of you introduce yourself and tell us about your dance background. Starting with blondie over there." The instructor points to a pretty girl with dyed blonde hair.

"Hi, I'm Hyo Yeon Kim, I'm from Incheon, South Korea and I have been dancing mainly hip hop since I was seven years old."

The class claps and this continues for every student. Then it's his turn. He sits up straight and waves around the room as he introduces himself.

"Hi, I'm Sicheng Dong. I'm from Wenzhou, China and I have specialized in traditional Chinese dance since I was 10 years old."

So Sicheng is his name..

Suddenly, the studio door bursts open with a petite Asian boy panting like he just ran the Great Wall.

"S.. sorry.. I'm late.. I slept through the alarms.. I never set." The boy fixes his dance clothes which were thrown carelessly over his body.

"That's ok, son. Come in and introduce yourself and tell us about your dance history." The instructor motions for him to join the group. The boy suddenly has so much energy and brightly greets us, waving his hand high in the air.

"Hi everyone!! My name is Chittaphon “Ten" Leechaiyapornkul! I'm from Bangkok, Thailand and I have been dancing since the womb!!" Everyone laughs at his personality, except Sicheng, who just rolls his eyes, but still smiles at the bubbly boy. Ten takes a seat on the floor next to Sicheng who offers him a hi-five. I guess all the Asians keep it tight here, huh?

"We're almost done, you there, go ahead." The instructor points to you and you straighten your spine before speaking.

"Hi, I'm Y/N. I'm from Hong Kong and I have been dancing contemporary ballet since I was eight years old."

"Very good, Y/N. I think you will fit in nicely with our ballet class." The instructor nods at you before addressing the whole class, "Right, so we will continue to get into actual dancing in the next class. Thank you all for showing up, even if not on time." Everyone turns to Ten who just smiles cheekily in return. "Class dismissed."

You pick yourself up from the floor and decide to wait until everyone has changed to change yourself, since the idea of co-ed dressing rooms still doesn't sit well in your mind. While you wait in the corner, Ten and Sicheng walk towards you.

“Y/N, right?" Ten asks. "Yes, that's me." You smile. "We should hang out sometime! We have a whole clique of native Chinese friends you could be a part of."

"Actually I think I may have already met some of them. Do you know Dejun Xiao and Kun Qian?"

Ten nods enthusiastically. "Wow small world! I'll add you to a group chat with all of us. Give me your phone!" Ten takes your phone from your hands and starts typing your number on his own. The device is suddenly buzzing with new message notifications as it is returned to your hands.

"I can't be late to my next class- we can meet up later! See you, Y/N!!” Ten rushes out of the studio, leaving you and Sicheng alone in the corner.

"Sorry if he scared you. He can be a bit hyper." Sicheng says with a small grin. You wave him off, "It's fine. You should go change now."

"Are you waiting for me to change so you can be alone in the dressing room?" You stay silent. "If you've been taking dance classes since you were eight, you should learn that going out of your comfort zone is essential." Sicheng teases, but offers another option, "There is a better place to change if you're that uncomfortable with it, come on."

Sicheng leads you into the dressing room where you are met with various colors of boobs and a.ss cracks. You just look up and let Sicheng guide the rest of the way. You hear him giggle at your flushed face. You arrive at a spatial closet that is filled with hi-tech film equipment. "This is one of the theatre storage closets. Xiaojun and I hang out here a lot."

Sicheng looks around the room while you stand there, bag in hand and ready to change. His eyes land on you awaiting awkwardly in front of him and he realizes, "Oh sorry! I'll leave you to change." Sicheng apologizes and rushes out of the closet. You laugh at the quirkiness of the cute boy and start getting dressed up again.

Walking out of the storage closet, you see Sicheng waiting in the empty dressing room. He holds up your schedule as he notices you coming out. "You dropped this and I couldn't help but see you're free for a couple of hours. I was wondering if you wanted to get lunch with me and the rest of the guys in the group chat Ten added you to? My treat." He says, handing back your schedule.

You stuff the paper back into your bag, "I would love to."

"Awesome. Let's go."

The two of you walked around the campus and met up with five other Asian guys by the sculpted fountains, three of them being Xiaojun, Kun, and Ten. Xiaojun and Kun noticed you immediately. "Hey nice to see you again. I see you've met Winwin and Ten." You look at Xiaojun confused. "Winwin?"

"That's my nickname." Sicheng blushes. "You can call me 'Win.' It sounds manlier." He puffs his chest a little.

“Y/N, this is Lucas and Hendery. Hendery is from Macau and Lucas is from Hong Kong, like you!" Kun introduced you and Lucas gave you a hi-five, "Waaah what's up, little Hong Konger!?" You laugh as his hi-five pulls you into a bro-hug, where your face painfully smacks into his hard chest. "It's been a while since I've met someone from my hometown. What are you doing in America?" Lucas asked you.

"My parents wanted me to attend an Ivy League to become the best doctor in Hong Kong, so here I am with painful irony." You answered. "Cool, cool. I'm studying animal biology. I love animals, especially puppies."

"You are a puppy!" Ten calls out and everyone agrees. "We actually have a dog and two cats hidden in our dorm, but don't tell the DA." Lucas puts a finger to his lips.

"GUYS LOOK WHAT I JUST SCORED! THEY'RE GIVING OUT FREE CONDOMS!!"

The annoying, orange-haired, Taiwanese kid from your chem class ran to all of you with like 20 unopened condoms in his hands. All of the guys facepalmed and you just rolled your eyes at more of his immature behavior. Yangyang’s eyes fell on you and hid all of the condoms behind his back as he screeched, "What the hell guys!? Why did you invite a chick to hang out with us?? We can't have a girl knowing our manly secrets!"

"B!tch, you and I both know those aren't going to fit your 5’8” a.ss." You motioned to the golden X-tra large rubbers hiding behind his back. The guys except Yangyang laughed when his face started turning red, proving the accuracy of your assumptions.

"You two know each other?" Asked Xiaojun. "We have a.. history." Yangyang narrowed his eyes at you, stuffing the condoms into his backpack without breaking visual contact. "Get over yourself. We only met this morning." You scoffed. The young boy stuck his tongue out at me like he had done once before.

"Let's go eat. I'm starving." Hendery groans.

The group walks to the dining hall where different restaurants are catered to the students and staff. It was decided to eat at a Hawaiian rooftop grill. You sat near the edge with a great view of Manhattan. Winwin sat on your right with Lucas and Kun next to him. Xiaojun sat across from you with Hendery and Yangyang on his side, and Ten at the front of the long table. You looked over the menu placed in your hands.

"Get whatever you want, ok?" Win told you and you complied with thanks. The guys ordered a bunch of food for the table as well as for themselves; you ordered a simple ahi tuna poke bowl.

Upon the food’s arrival, Kun starts a conversation. "How is everyone's first day going?"

"My professor hit my wrist with a ruler because I said Galaga sucked." Yangyang answered. "You had it coming. You think ET: The Video Game should have made a comeback." Xiaojun attacked.

"None of you fools gave ET a chance." Yangyang crossed his arms and looked away.

"My calc professor ate an egg and bacon biscuit from Tim Hortons, then fell asleep." Win said as he stuffed his cheeks with macaroni salad.

"Did he ever wake up?" You wheezed and asked him.

"No."

"Hendery what's on your neck?"

"He got that good-good on the first day- my man!" Yangyang said with his cheeks full.

"Some kid in my aerophysics class launched a bottle rocket into my neck. It really hurts." Hendery replied, rubbing the sore area.

"D.amn."

...

"This dude in my psych class kinda packing no homo." Everyone groaned at Xiaojun’s comment, Ten just smiled and beamed him up.

Everyone finished eating and you offered to pay for yourself, but Winwin wouldn't allow it. You all walked back to the fountains you had met up. Yangyang, Hendery, and Kun left for their next class together. "What do you have next?" Win asked you. "I have biology." You replied.

"Oh you're with us!" You looked over at Lucas and Ten. Turning back to Winwin, "I'll see you later. Maybe we could have a movie night sometime this week, just you and me?" He proposed. "Sure. That sounds fun. Also thank you for buying me lunch, it was yummy." Win smiled at you. "No problem. I'll text you tonight." You nodded and parted ways with the lovely boy who walked with Xiaojun- the other lovely boy.

You walked off with the three Chinese boys, not looking forward to biology, but glad to spend the hour with your cool new friends.

To be continued…

Basketball Nomin AU

gif credit to @plediscult​

a/n: this is my very first time attempting to write and it feels rushed and it’s absolute crap but i need to make myself post this because i love AUs and want to get better at writing so ye

Basketball Nomin AU: In which Jaemin loves basketball and Jeno finally gets him to tryout for it

Genre: fluff and cuteness and just UWU

Jaemin really wanted to participate in the basketball team tryouts

really really, like,, a lot

“nana, you never shut up about it for the last two years,”jeno said

“but what if I suck?”

“but you don’t??”

“how do you know? What if you’re just a really sucky judge?” jaemin would pout

“give me some credit, you rude! I’ve paid attention to all the videos you’ve shown me and games you’ve dragged me to for the last 10 years,” jeno replied and flicked him in the forehead

Flicked him hard

Jaemin rubbed the now red spot on his forehead and stuck his tung out

“I don’t wanna get rejected….”

“you never would, I’ve heard Jisung and Chenle fussing over your technique!”

And jaemin would never believe Jeno, blaming it on his impaired hearing

This was how conversations always went between them both when talking about basketball

Until the day Lee Jeno signs up Na Jaemin for tryouts without telling him about it

And blindly throws him into it

“catch!” jeno threw a plastic bag at jaemin once he reached him on the bleachers of their school’s gym where the tryouts were to begin in 5 minutes

“what’s this? A gift? For your lovely nana?”

Jaemin took out the contents of the bag and gave jeno a quizzical look

“what do I need new workout clothes for? Are you telling me I’m getting fat?” jaemin asked, giving Jeno a cute pout, “I knew I shouldn’t have eaten that extra cupcake”

Jeno got real close to him and squeezed his cheeks tight

“no, you duffus,” he gave jaemin his best&most charming eye smile, “they’re for you to put on, get on that court and finally win yourself a place on the team”

“I’m about to start crying if you make me do this” jaemin said, his face suddenly turning pale

“yeah, tears of joy”

“no, I really will cry and then throw up; you do realize there are only four open spots, right?”

Jeno sighed and took jaemin by his hand and towards the locker rooms that were now empty

“I’m being serious, nana. You really are good,” jeno reassured him, “now, don’t make me dress you myself”

Jeno went back to the bleachers hoping and praying Jaemin would get over his fear

A whistle cut through the sound of chatter and brought everyone’s attention down to the court

“hi everyone, I’m chenle! We’re about to start the tryouts so please cheer everyone on and good luck to all the participants!”

Jeno kept on staring at the doors of the gym, mentally screaming at Jaemin to hurry up

Chenle was speaking to all the players and dividing them into teams

“There’s a player missing,” Chenle said after a few minutes, “if Na Jaemin fails to show up he won’t get another chance to run for the team this year.”

Jeno sighed and when he was about to get up to go look for Jaemin he burst through the gym doors

He still looked pale. And very nervous.

Jaemin headed towards the group of players and Chenle while keeping his eyes on Jeno

Jeno smiled at him real big

 All he wanted to do was take all his worry away

He knew Jaemin would be the happiest once he got accepted

“I almost screamed when I saw your name on the list, Jaemin,” Chenle said to him, smiling, “I’m looking forward to seeing you play”

Jaemin smiled back at him but chenle’s words only made him more nervous

His only thought was: I’m so gonna blow this up uwu can’t wait to use these new clothes as Kleenex

“Nana!”, he heard his name get yelled

He looked up and found Jeno holding the right side of a huge banner with Mark holding the left side

It said “na jaemin #1 fighting!”

Jeno was waving at him and giving him the biggest, most encouraging smile

Jaemin smiled back, instantly feeling more at ease

Jeno always rooted for him and cheered him on

He’d try his best for Jeno

Once chenle blew the whistle to signal the beginning of the game Jaemin focused on passing the ball between his teammates and getting it through the other team’s hoop and

He would never leave any regrets on court, that’s what he always wished for everytime he played, even if all his games had always been as a friendly match between neighbours

The game was over too soon and Jaemin stood in the court drenched

Before he could take a first look at the final score soft arms wrapped around him

“Jeno, he’s literally disgusting right now, what are you doing,” mark said from behind jeno

“I’m giving him love and support”

“Nana, I’m so proud of you, you were so good, no one could keep up with you, you’re a LEGEND”

Jaemin felt his heart sing at Jeno’s words, “did I really do good?”

“you were really damn good,” confirmed mark while jeno nodded enthusiastically

“that banner was so sweet, you guys are the best!”

“jeno did it all,” mark said

jaemin couldn’t help but feel even more thankful towards his friend

jeno who always encouraged him

jeno who always cheered him up even when he was already the happiest

jeno who put up with him always whinning about his wish to play in this team 

and had actually done something about it when jaemin himself had just resigned himself to day dreaming about it

jaemin looked at jeno with appreciation and love while his friend looked back at him with pride and utter confidence in jaemin

it felt nice

really nice

“If I could get everyone’s attention!” chenle said through the michrophone

Jaemin, jeno and mark quickly turned their attention towards him, as did the other players and audience

“The four new players have been chosen! I will now pass the word to our captain Qian Kun who will announce them!”

“First and foremost I would just like to say that everyone played a very good game! But unfortunately we can only take on four new players,” Kun said, “I will now state their names.”

Jaemin’s heart was pounding really fast in his chest

as was Jeno’s

“Huang Renjun”

“Lee Donghyuck”

“Wong Yukhei”

“Na Jaemin”

“Congratulations!” Kun said, smiling, “and to those who didn’t make it don’t be discouraged! I will be rooting for you!”

Jaemin could hardly believe it as Jeno started jumping around him

“I told you! Can you believe it took you this long to finally do this?”

Jaemin started jumping around with him and tried to pull Mark into it but he ran away to go meet Donghyuck

“I think I really am about to cry”

“I’m super duper happy right now but you really need to go get changed, shrek’s swamp smells better than you,” jeno said, covering his nose with his fingers

“what a hater,” jaemin replied indignantly

After jaemin got changed and jeno and him left to take their usual route home

Once they made it to Jeno’s house he opened the door and was ready to close it after saying his goodbyes to jaemin

“Jeno, wait”, jaemin said, fiddling with his fingers

“you can keep the clothes, they really were a gift,” jeno said, “plus, I wouldn’t want their fragrance”

Jeno expected jaemin to laugh but he just kept staring at his fee

“hey, is something wrong? I know I kinda threw you in there and pressured you into it but it really didn’t come from a mean place”

Jaemin cut him off by giving up a quick peck on the cheek

He had really meant to say “no, thank you, if it hadn’t been for you I wouldn’t be this happy right now” but his feet had moved on their own accord and so had his hand when he shut the door of jeno’s house right in jeno’s face after kissing him

His legs also seemed to carry him all the way to his own house two doors down faster than they’d ever worked

Even faster than during basketball

However, he couldn’t help the giddy feeling he got in his stomach and how tingly his lips felt

And neither could Jeno help the redness that came over his face and how he immediately crouched on the floor and yelled of happiness

The SM Basement (NCT Edition)

Even though there are several members of NCT that everyone can recognise, some of the best talent has yet to escape the dark, damp room that is SM’s basement. With no way of telling who exactly is contracted under SM, there are certain undebuted idols who are hiding down there despite being popular in the NCT fandom. In case you don’t know who SM is keeping hidden from us, here is a handy guide.

Side Note - a lot of the trainees in the SM Basement are officially unannounced, so a lot of information is unknown and what we can find might not be correct

OFFICIAL 

NAME: Ji Hansol (지한솔)

D.O.B: 21st November 1994

NATIONALITY: Korean (Busan)

BLOOD TYPE: AB

HEIGHT: 185cm

SPECIALTY: Dance (Potentially, rap)

NOTES: An announced SM rookie, Hansol joined SM after Jonghyun (SHINee) recommended him. He is one of the original SM Rookies. Hansol was featured in the first season of NCT Life (remember the boy trying to take a polaroid picture with a fan at the Bangkok showcase?) and is also Admin Rosie’s ultimate bias. She’s anxiously screaming for his debut at all times. (Side note, Rosie wanted to add this - GUYS DO YOU SEE MY SON, DO YOU SEE MY BABY DO YOU SEE HOW GORGEOUS HE IS. AND HE IS SO TALENT TOO IF YOU REFER TO THIS VIDEO. AND HAVE Y’ALL SEEN THE MISS YOU VIDEO?? IF YOU’RE ON DESKTOP GO WATCH NOW. BLOODY JESUS I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. i also don’t feel as though we as a fandom talk about Hansol’s ability to do the splits enough - and tbh, Admin Beth seconds that comment about the splits - see below)

Moving on before Rosie bursts into uncontrollable sobbing, 

NAME: Qian Kun (錢錕)

D.O.B: 1st January 1996

NATIONALITY: Chinese (Fujian)

BLOOD TYPE: B

HEIGHT: 178cm

SPECIALTY: Vocal, Chinese, Piano

NOTES: Kun was featured on the season of NCT Life in Seoul (the Chinese boy who wasn’t WinWin, if that helps) and his vocals were featured on the Chinese version of Without You. He is absolutely adorable and his smile if contagious  Kun has a special place in Admin Beth’s heart and she desperately needs him to debut as soon as possible.

UNOFFICIAL 

NAME: Wong Yukhei / Huang Xuxi 

D.O.B: 25th January 1999

NATIONALITY: Chinese (Hong Kong)

BLOOD TYPE: Unknown

HEIGHT: 180cm +

SPECIALTY: Cantonese, Mandarin, Thai

NOTES; Yukhei is an unannounced rookie meaning that, officially, we shouldn’t know about him (or be stanning him because lets face it, its SM and anything could happen). He is very close with Ten and recently got his ears pierced with him. Although nothing is really known, he is tall, a fluff ball, multi-lingual and a great visual. Also, Admin Beth stans him. Hard. Same with Admin Rosie.

EDIT Yukhei is now an official SmRookie and has been given the stage name Lucas

Okay you do not understand how long it took me to find a mildly hq picture of his whole face. For those of you who are familiar with Jungwoo, you probably know him more like this:

NAME: Park Jungwoo (Nam Jungwoo, potentially)

D.O.B 17th December 1998

NATIONALITY: Korean

BLOOD TYPE: Unknown

HEIGHT: Unknown (Tall-ish?)

SPECIALTY: Unknown

NOTES; Often seen with his face covered by a mask, Jungwoo has performed with the other SM Rookies at their shows. He seems to be a strong dancer (but then, who in NCT isn’t a strong dancer?) but his position and specialties aren’t known. Despite the fact we know nothing about him, Admin Rosie still chooses to stan him, or at least to stan the top half of his face.

Chapter 15

The soak in Lord of Numerous Treasure’s spring was somewhat relaxing. In fact, it was too relaxing till I totally forgot to stop A-Li from drinking too much of the fruit wine that Ye Hua instructed. In the end, I send him back with Nai Nai - telling her not to fuss over A-Li and that he will be himself after a good sleep.

“This is my first time at the Celestial Palace” - I said to the maid that was attending to me. “I’m not familiar with the ways here. Please lead me to the Crown Prince’s study”

“Please follow me, High Goddess” - the maid happily comply.

The maid guided me to the main entrance of Ye Hua’s study.

“High Goddess, this is Crown Prince’s study” - she said. “If there is nothing else, I’ll excuse myself” - she bowed.

“Thank you”

I walked into the courtyard, admiring the architecture of the place when I heard voices coming from his study. It sounded like someone..

Don’t tell me I have the luck to stumble upon someone else amusement.. I thought to myself.

I made a U-turn at the entrance of his study.

Ye Hua might be calm and indifferent but he is young after all.. All the maids in Heavens are quite pretty. It must be a torture to read reports all night long. If he lift his head and sees a pretty maid as a painting by his side serving him..

I started shaking my head in disbelieve to what my thoughts were next.

Bai Qian, what are you imagine about? This is not the Ye Hua you know! - I scolded myself.

“Qian Qian” - I suddenly heard his voice calling me from his study. “What are you doing coming and going like that?” - he asked. “I’ve finished the inscription on the fan. Come in and get it” - he added.

I let out a huge sigh. It made me curious to who is in the study with him.

I took a peek at the two shadows I saw from the blinds when I walked in. Ye Hua, ignoring the fact that there were others there, handed me the fan with a smile.

“Here” - he said.

“What’s happening here?” - I asked him, knowing well the identities of the two that were on their knees.

Su Jin turned to me with a shock. I pretended I don’t know her and triple checking my anger as I saw that she was still using my eyes. Beside her, Miao Qing is still sobbing.

“Your eyes are very pretty” - I told her.

“Su.. Su Su..” - that’s all Su Jin could mumble.

Yes, that’s me, Su Jin. Surprise to see me alive and well, are you?

Ye Hua, still keeping quiet, took my hand and pulled me with him.

With a stern voice, he addressed Miao Qing. “Princess Miao Qing. I truly have no place for you at Xiwu Palace. Return to the Eastern Sea tomorrow morning. If you do not overstep the boundaries again, I will not peruse the matter of the past. Consider it a repayment for saving A-Li’s life”

He then turned to Su Jin. “Su Jin. You seems to value this friendship very much. If you can’t bare to part with Princess Miao Qing,  why don’t you ask Heavenly Lord to issue you a decree to have you married off to the Eastern Sea?” - he suggested.

Su Jin looked at him in disbelief.

That was a good stab, Ye Hua. I cheered in my mind.

Miao Qing crawled over to Ye Hua, tugging his robes. “Your Highness, I was momentarily possessed. That’s why I drugged the soup to try to seduce Your Highness” - she begged.

I couldn’t watch. Ye Hua should known better what he gotten himself into when he agreed to let her come to Xiwu Palace to be a maid.

“Your Highness, no matter how much you punish me, I won’t resist” - she sobbed louder. “Even if I have to be struck by 49 bolts of lightning everyday, I won’t be afraid. I only ask that Your Highness don’t make me leave Xiwu Palace! My life only wish is to served by Your Highness’s side and serve you for the rest of my life” - she cried.

Ye Hua just stood there like a statue without looking at her or said a word.

I really wanted to walk out of the room. I have no say in Xiwu Palace since I’m not married to Ye Hua officially yet. On top of that, Miao Qing was just digging her own grave even deeper.

I took a few steps before Miao Qing started tugging on my clothes, begging me.

“Your Highness! Your Highness!” - she cried. “Last time I mistook you for another. You helped me once. Please help me again” - she begged.

I looked at Ye Hua. He gave me back a look that was telling me “It’s your call”.

I sighed. “Since Princess Miao Qing has knelt in front of me, it would be inappropriate for me to refuse her” - I said, looking at Ye Hua again. “I must say a few words” - I added.

“Go ahead” - Ye Hua said.

“Actually, this really isn’t only Princess Miao Qing’s fault” - I said to him.

He looked like he’s bracing himself for a lecture from me.

“You knew that she has feelings for you, yet you brought her up here to Heaven. I know you did it to repay her for saving A-Li’s life. You also let her escape her marriage arrangement. You thought she would return to the Eastern Sea once she comes to her senses. But that doesn’t mean she thinks the same” - I looked at him, feeling sorry for some weird reason.

Ye Hua, this is something you got to learn. I know you vowed to love only me and me alone, but that doesn’t mean the other thinks that way.

“She must have thought that you’ve fallen for her too” - I added. “Since you’ve given her that idea, and you being a man of honour making such a slow move, she must have felt to make the move herself” - I explained to him.

“But in the beginning, she said she would be contented being a maid in Xiwu Palace” - he defended himself.

Ye Hua, my dear husband. You could be really sharp at many things, but I guess you’re naive at many things too.

“How can you believed the words said by a woman in love?” - I asked him. He gave a shy smile.

I turned to Miao Qing. “Listen to me. You better hurry back to the Eastern Sea” - I said to her.

One last look at Ye Hua, I walked away. Before I could walk out, I heard him say.

“She.. is my wife. As well as the only lady in Xiwu Palace. Since she has said it, you should return to the Eastern Sea, Princess Miao Qing”

I smiled to myself.

Ye Hua caught up to me at the courtyard as I was making a decision to turn left or right to my chambers.

“Xiwu Palace is so huge. Would you be able to find The Hall of Beautiful Youth?” - he asked.

He still remembers that I’m bad at directions?

“I probably can” - I lied.

“I’ll guide you” - he said without emotions. I wondered if he’s mad at me for giving him a lecture in front of those two just now?

Without saying anything, I just tagged behind him. Upon reaching, I broke the silence.

“Er.. till here is fine. I know my way around here now”

Instead of walking away, he walked right into the grounds of my hall.

“I really can find my way now” - I insisted.

He turned to me. “I escorted you here not just to lead the way for you. I wanted to ask you a question”

"What is it about?”

“Why did you tell the princess to return to the Eastern Sea?” - he asked.

Huh?

“Didn’t you want her to return to the Eastern Sea as well? - I asked him back.

“Is that the only reason?” - he asked me back.

Why is this guy asking all these weird questions?

“I don’t know how to answer you, now that you have asked me that” - I told him truthfully. I really thought he wanted to get rid of her, so I just helped a bit.

He turned away and said “As I expected”

“What did you expect?” - I asked him. He’s really acting weird suddenly.

“I shouldn’t asked you this question” - he said, sounded angry. “I asked you into the room because I wanted you to be jealous. But I didn’t realized you were just putting on a show”

Huh? What is he talking about? Putting on a show?

He came closer to me. “In your heart.. I have no standing” - he claimed.

I looked at him, surprised. I did not expect him to say those words.

“Bai Qian” - he said. This is the first time he called my name in full. “Does your heart only have room for one person? - he asked.

Yes! I screamed in my mind. And that person is you!

“How long will you wait for him?” - he added and storm off.

HUH? Wait for WHO? This is getting confusing. Who is he thinking I’m waiting for?

“Ye.. Ye Hua!” - I called after him but he ignored and disappeared.

That night, I couldn’t sleep at all. I tossed and turned with his words keeps haunting me.

In your heart.. I have no standing. Bai Qian, does your heart only have room for one person? How long will you wait for him?

2016;

Haha, it’s 2017 already and I’m writing about 2016. Look how organised I am.

Anyway, I just wanted to do a reflection? A recap? Of what happened in 2016.

2016 was a year where I really asked myself ‘Is this really who you want to be?’ There are so many things that I have done and some, I have regretted. Some have made me think if what I did was really the right choice. But then again, I feel like 2016 was also a year where I found out a little more about myself. Found out about what I like and dislike. More accurately, found out about what kind of traits I like in someone and what I really hate when working together with someone. Honestly, nothing much happened in my life. It just revolved around school work, holidays and bangtan. I also met quite a few new people in 2016 and I’m really happy about that. Although they are fandom friends, I really am thankful to have met them. 

Dedication post for them maybe? They probably won’t see this but :”)

To Natashah: I’m really so happy to have met you in 2016, really. I think we interacted way before 2016 but still. I’m so thankful to have you in my life. Thank you for being such a great friend and company... I really can’t wait to see you again and also I can’t wait to drag you to bangtan’s concert with me. Also, you’re the only one I can talk about rated stuff to. HAHAH. Thank you for being in my life and I sincerely hope you don’t die while studying for Os this year.

To Nicole: I figured out you’re not really my fandom friend AND I didn’t meet you in 2016 but weLL AHAHHAHAHA.

I always have so much fun talking to you and calling you my child. MY CHILD. Let’s hope we bump into each other again in school. HAHAHHA. Also, good luck to you since you will be entering year 2 in poly real soon. HEHEHEH.

To Wen Qian and Jing Ying: Honestly, I don’t know what have I done in my previous life to have two you talented dancers as my friends. I’m so proud to have you guys as my friends, really. Thank you for all the spams we had ;;; I will forever remember that one time we started talking in Korean for like a good half and hour. HAHAHHA. I miss you guys. ;u; 

To Sherry: MOM. I don’t know how you became my mom and we didn’t meet in 2016 lmfao but I’m adding you here. I just wanna tell you how I find you to be a really cool person and I’m glad to have you in my life okay. /u\ Also, it was really cool to actually know someone who has the same name as me soooo. Good luck at work!! Gonna be a year since you became a working adult already HAHAHAH. 

To Jun Ning: We haven’t really talked much but I really wanna tell you that I support you so much and I am super happy to have known you in 2016!! Please, whenever you feel like you need someone to listen to you, know that I will always be more than happy to hear you out. I hope everything goes well for you this year, especially since it’s O levels this year!

A dedication post for my real life friends too? Lmao, this is becoming a dedication entry.

To Qiu En: We definitely didn’t meet in 2016 but I feel like 2016 was a year where we got even close to each other. Hehehe. Thank you for always being someone I can rely on!! Really never thought that I would meet a reliable friend in poly but thank you for proving me wrong. I really appreciate you so much. You know that right? Even though I’m always like super mean to you. ;u; I have a goldfish memory and can’t remember all the exact details of our outings but I really treasure those times where we went out. Thank you for being there for me in 2016! Hopefully it will be the same in 2017 as well. HEHEHE HAPPY 1 YEAR + 1 DAY ON SNAPCHAT!! 

To Circle People: We don’t really talk anymore but I really enjoy reading your tweets on my timeline and keeping myself updated with what you guys are doing. As for cass... I will be diligently stalking her instagram. HAHAHAH. But really, miss you guys and I really hope everything would go well for you in 2017!  

There are really more people that I wish I could write about but I just suck at maintaining contact with people so... Jiayi, Tani and Naq I really hope you guys will have a great 2017!! I’m so sorry I suck at maintaining contact and I literally the worst. Didn’t meet you guys in 2016 but yeah, I hope everything goes well for you guys in 2017!!

Okay I think I’m done with the dedication posts. HAHAHA. Back to my recap.

2016 was really an interesting year because I had a lot of first in 2016. Started working for the first time in my life, bought my first fansite goods, tried on makeup for the first time ever, tried playing that dance machine in the arcade for the first time ever, dyed my hair for the first time, walked to sentosa for the first time, went to the klive sentosa thing for the first time... There really are a lot of new experiences in 2016. And I’m so grateful for that. I really hope I would try out even more new things in 2017 and create even more memorable experiences for myself.

Honestly, writing this post made me realise that my 2016 was actually not a bad year. Certainly had my ups and downs, but overall, it wasn’t that bad of a year.

Hopefully 2017 would be a better year!!

Chapter 9

After dinner, while Ye Hua was preparing for A-Li to go to bed, I sneak out to the cave where Shifu was.

“Shifu.. please forgive Seventeen. Remember I told you about Ye Hua? The man that I married when I was a mortal? He’s here with A-Li to stay. But since the Celestial Tribe has been looking for you for the past 70,000 years, I’ll have to seal this cave for a while..”

I stared at Shifu. The more I look at him, the more I feel there is a connection between him and Ye Hua.

“It’s not that I don’t trust Ye Hua. But there are so many issues we have to settle between us. Shifu, I wish you were back so you can tell me what to do..”

With a final bow to Shifu, I sealed the cave.

“Qian Qian” - Ye Hua called me when I arrived back to the Fox Den.

“Ye Hua? You are not asleep?”

“A-Li has gone to sleep, so I came to look for you for a game of chess”

I’m sorry you had to be his dad and mom for this 300 years, Ye Hua.

“Chess? You’re in the mood to play?”

Ye Hua nodded.

I don’t remember how many rounds we had played but I was getting very sleepy. I woke up with a stiff neck and realized I fell asleep on the chess table. Ye Hua is no where to be seen.

Ugh that guy.

Mi Qu came into Ye Hua’s newly study room (4th Brother’s old room) with Jia Yun and Tian Shu.

I stood up, pretending not to know them.

“Who are you looking for?” - I asked.

“Aunt, this is Crown Prince’s civil officer, Star Lord Jia Yun” - Mi Qu said, pointing to Jia Yun who was carrying a bunch of documents.

“And this is Crown Prince’s military officer, Star Lord Tian Shu” - he added.

“Aunt” - Tian Shu greeted.

“Aunt, His Highness gave orders yesterday to send all official reports to here from now on” - Jia Yun explained.

“Send official reports?”

“Ah, rest assured Aunt. I will only be here once a day in the morning to collect the ones from yesterday and deliver the ones that’s waiting for instructions” - Jia Yun said.

I turned and looked at Tian Shu. “And you..?”

“Aunt rest assured. I’m only here to protect the Crown Prince and the young prince. I will not disturb you and His Highness. I will make my greetings then disappear from your sight. Without His Highness’s permission, you absolutely will not see me”

“Oh..”. That’s all I could say.

“We will take our leave now, Aunt” - Jia Yun and Tian Shu said together and left.

“Mi Qu, I’m going outside to get some fresh air. In a while, bring a pot of tea to the pavilion for me” - I said to him and walked out.

“Yes, Aunt. I’ll bring it to you” - Mi Qu bow.

After a long walk, Mi Qu greeted me at the pavilion.

“Aunt, I’ve prepared your tea” - he said while pointing to the table. “Also, His Highness is back. He’s in his study looking over his reports”

“Ok. I’ll just take a rest here then”

Not long after, there was a loud commotion not far from the pavilion. I got up, curious, and saw Mi Qu smirking at someone being chased away by the villagers.

“Mi Qu, what was that all about?”

“Aunt, Consort Su Jin from the Celestial Palace send someone to urge the Crown Prince to return to the palace”

“Consort Su Jin?”. That person again. Don’t she have anything better to do?

“Why did the villagers chased that person away?”

“She said some unpleasant things. She said you and the Crown Prince had not been wed in ceremony yet but are together all day and lie with each other and it is an unacceptable behavior”

Ha! If only you know the real story, Su Jin. I’ve yet to settle some score with you and here you are trying your luck again?

“She also said that even Heavenly Lord did not acted this way in the past. When the crowd heard that, they got furious and drove her away”

Hmm. “I understand”. I got up. Let’s see what Ye Hua got to say about this.

When I got to the study, Ye Hua was busy drawing.

“That’s a nice painting” - I said to him. He said nothing.

“Er.. Your side consort send someone here just now to ask you to return back to the palace. She also said some unpleasant things”

He looked outrage. “What is it?” - he asked in a cold tone.

I looked away from him. “She said, you and I have not been wed in ceremony but are together all day and lie with each other. Although what she said is not true but..”

He cut me off. “I wanted to live here, so I came to live here” - he said, sounded angry. “All in all, you are my wife. Why do we have to care about other people?” - he asked.

Not a good idea to get him angry.

“Oh, the palace maid also said, you brought Princess Miao Qing to the Celestial Palace”

“Yes” - he answered, sounding softer now. “Qian Qian, take a seat” - he added.

Is it that serious that I needed to seat? You’ve decided to take her as your side consort too? I sat down on his bed and prepared my heart.

“Why don’t you lie down and choose a comfortable position?”

“Huh?”

“Raise your head and face me. Have a smile on your face”

I just did what he told me to. He looks like he’s going to draw a painting of me.

“Very good”

How come this Crown Prince has such mood swings? One moment he as a cold and angry expression, then in the next he has a pleasant smile.

“That Miao Qing was insistent of not marrying the 2nd Prince of West Sea. But she had saved A-Li life once. So I allowed her to go to the Celestial Palace to be a maid”

Wow. Since when you learned how to tell me the truth about something? This is new.

“When she has thought things through, she will eventually leave on her own” - he added.

Ye Hua, Ye Hua. Do you think it’s that easy as you think?

“Actually, that 2nd Prince is not that bad..”

He turned around and looked at me. “Do you know him?”

There he goes again. “I don’t know him. I only heard about him from 4th Brother”. I hope he won’t suspect anything.

“Qian Qian, is there anything else you want to tell me?” - he suddenly asked.

Errr.. yes and no? What you want me to tell you?

I had to make an excuse. “There is one thing..”

“Go ahead”

“My.. my hand is getting numb. Can.. can I change position?” - I asked sheepishly.

He smiled. “As you wish”

I lay down on the pillow and stared at him while he draws. In the end, I fell asleep.

********************

Over the next few days were like a routine to me. I sometimes sit with Ye Hua while he goes over his reports. Sometimes he insist of going for a walk with me. Some days he wants to play chess. But today was raining and I found out from Mi Qu that Ye Hua went back to Nine Heavens for a while.

Pacing around in my room enjoying the rain when Ye Hua appeared with A-Li.

“Er.. Lord Ye Hua. I wonder which Water King is casting rain today. It’s a nice day to stay inside the Fox Den” - I suggested.

A-Li ran over. “Father said he’s taking us to play in the mortal world today”

“Fortunately it’s not raining in the mortal world today” - Ye Hua said.

“Ah, you both are going to the mortal world to play? You should find a earth deity to guide you”. Ah, I’m just too lazy to go out today.

“Mother, I would like you to come” - A-Li begged swinging my hand with puppy eyes.

I looked at Ye Hua. He smiled. Family trip huh? I sighed.

“Wait for me to get changed, all right?”

This is probably the longest ever I took to get changed. It was also nice to have my husband and son waiting for me. For once I’m getting used to having them around especially Ye Hua. Over the last few days, I’ve also decided to find the right time to talk to him about everything.. and maybe.. maybe we can pick up from where we left off.

A-Li was the happiest running around the mortal town getting whatever he likes. I’m also surprised that Ye Hua is not stopping him at all.

“How come you are in the mood to come to the mortal world today?” - I asked Ye Hua while A-Li is waiting for his peanuts to be packed. “ Didn’t Jia Yun brought over a large pile of reports yesterday? Judging from his expression, looks like the report isn’t any trivial matter”

Ye Hua just smiled at me. “Today is A-Li’s birthday” - he whispers to me.

A-Li’s birthday is not till next month, Ye Hua. But I did not say anything.

“Let’s go have lunch” - Ye Hua suggested.

I just nodded.

Half way during lunch, Jia Yun appeared. “Your Highness. Aunt” - he greeted. “Deities from all around the world has arrived for Heavenly Lord’s birthday celebration. 2nd Prince Die Feng of West Sea arrived at the Celestial Palace and came to Zichen Hall soon after. He said he has urgent matters to discuss with Your Highness. I dare not delay, so I came to search for Your Highness”

Ye Hua turned to me with a trouble look. “Keep A-Li company. I’ll have to return the the Celestial Palace. I’ll come back to look for you in the evening”

“All right”. So much for a family trip. But he got to do what he got to do. Bai Qian, if you want to be with him again, you got to get used to it.

After lunch, I took A-Li for some sightseeing before ending up at a tea house to watch some play to past time. It was almost evening. Ye Hua should be back sometime soon.

“It should take a cup of tea for your father in heavens while night will fall upon us in the mortal world” - I said to A-Li while pouring myself a cup of tea. “Let’s sit here and wait for him”

A-Li agreed while munching on watermelon seeds.
