nbcsports Y/N L/N announces retirement after 2024 World Championships

The Queen of Figure Skating has taken her last bow.

NBCSports writer Kyle Smith tweets word that Y/N L/N, whose bid to become a fourth-consecutive World champion was narrowly denied today by the United States's Carolyn Rivers, has confirmed that she will retire at the age of 25.

The Monegasque superstar will end her stellar career with the 2018 and 2022 Olympic gold, three world championships, and the distinction of never finishing off the podium in her senior-level international career.

user no. fucking. way. please say sike rn

user God I don't blame her, figure skating is turning into math these days. She deserved that gold.

user ik monaco is depressed as hell rn LOL bc same

↳ user The way that's so accurate because imagine the #1 athlete representing your country is all of a sudden retiring. 😭😭 Monaco literally only has 2 Olympic medals EVER and they were both won by Y/N, if that doesn't say how significant she is to the country then idk.

↳ user i heard they even nicknamed her "Ice Queen Y/N" 😭😭

↳ user Yes, she is called "La Reine des Glaces" in Monaco!

user no hate to carolyn at all but she isn't rlly a complete skater. i'm extremely disappointed with the judging today

user wow i suddenly can't read

user Nooooo not my favorite skater ☹️

user i can't imagine watching a competition without y/n present :( such a major loss for the fs community, but i wish her the best in her retirement! 🥺🥺

user she just did one of the best performances i've ever seen, just to end up winning silver?? make it make sense fr

user omg not arthur AND lorenzo liking this pic?? 👀

↳ user the logical side of me thinks it’s normal bc they all grew up together but at the same time it’s kind of sus since it’s usually just Arthur liking and not both🤔

↳ user 😭😭😭

user wait i’m confused why did she retire at such a young age?

↳ user It’s actually quite common for competitive figure skaters to retire “early.” Y/N hasn’t stated an official reason but I’m assuming the physical and mental exhaustion just got to her, especially because the sport has been favoring difficulty over artistry lately 🤷‍♀️

user WAITTTTT CHARLES LIKED

↳ user It’s aggravating to see Charles constantly being mentioned in Y/N’s comments. Other than that, this is a reach. I think everyone is forgetting that Y/N is highly respected in Monaco so it’s not unusual for Charles to like her photos. You can even check; all of Charles friends and other well known individuals from Monaco are also in her likes.

↳ user lmfaoooo it’s truly not that deep girl, it’s okay to smile

user her adding in her own translation is so real of her 😭

user There will never be another skater as graceful and talented as you 🥺🥺

[dreamerwitches]

RIGHT! I'm going to judge everyone with their doppel choices!!! Get ready for long post

In all seriousness, you're entitled to your own opinions and this is just a bit of fun. I'm genuinely interested to see the most popular doppels and I KNOW there are no set rules for the votes as the account has stated so peoples choices may be for gameplay etc etc. So, no meanness, right? It's all in jest (m-mostly...)

Giovanna time! I agree very muchee, I'm not a big fan of swimsuit Giovanna. Yeah she's cute but I dunno I just don't like the sail and that's such a big part of it. I understand why og and anime are equal cause anime Giovanna was FIRE and the new take on it in-game works well. Og deserves well because duh, its the og and anime deserves well too cause it's on par. But Infinite Giovanna ough, left the girls in the dust. Beautiful colours, beautiful combination of Giovanna and Shitori Egumo. She's beautiful and she knows it!

The first disagreement. Tanabata Campanella falls into the 'its too busy i dont have a clue whats going on and thats not a good thing' camp for me. Yes the colours are pretty but damn there's too much going on. And the colours on her spine bit are way too much overall. I get it but it's not for me. I'm glad my choice is second though. Historia Campanella is.... is not Campanella that's the eiffel tower and anime Campanella is just ugly. They removed the lantern which is such a good part of the og. the hint of red works so well and the ugly four shoes are a) large and ugly and b) dont fucking fit! The only thing i like is the hat but do i like it more than og? Not really, its on par

Alright THIS is my first 'um hello, what are you guys doing?' Tiracchana is awful, what are you on? I definitely feel the magis are affecting choice here cause I know Yuna is popular. I'm sorry but her doppel is shit. So ugly and such a mishmash of bad aspects. I'm sad Merkava is so low in comparison cause her theming is cool and she actually looks good. Done dirty... But like, how the fuck is halifax winning? She's just a fucking guillotine for petes sake... Im not a fan because it irks me but come on this is not the best design. Lakehurst done dirty waaa... she's such a cool mix of animal and machine and she works so well. Not too busy and has a clear theme. I suppose the only thing that isnt so great is the tongue since its colour sticks out so much. Very disappointed in everyone...

W-Why none of y'all like Marguerite?? What's she done wrong?! She'd be my second choice. I think Cuauhtitlan is fine but I struggle judging her since Im not knowledgable on the culture. But she does look very nice and the colours are good. I like Marguerite for her kinda castle/tank-y feel. The colours are nice and the structure is interesting! She kinda falls into 'this doesnt look like a witch and moreso an object' bracket but its not that bad... im so sad she's unpopular... Now im surprised at Halomonas. Its just boring man... and she's definitely 'this doesnt look like a witch and moreso an object'. Just nothing in it is particularly fun or cool, I just find her so boring. I suppose Alexandra's integration is good though, but otherwise... Unbased. But I'm very happy with Vlastenske! I looooove clowns!!! And she's super creepy and fun! You should be winning, sweetie

Sigh. Hepialidae is shit, what are you on? Moths are so important to the theme and story magireco and yet this rando has a moth witch? It's so out of left field and doesnt suit her theme as far as I know. I wanted her to be a vampire witch so bad back in the day... The colours are ruined by the leg parts too. Like hello? Where do those ugly purples and greens come from?! I suppose Kushu's integration is nice though. I understand Henrietta's low score. She falls into the object category but at least she's pretty. Sad about Don Rocinante though... I get she is a little boring but I do have metal bias... (looking at my fave Gisela... ) But compared to the others I still think she should be higher And man, I know Konomi is popular but... it... it's just flowers... c'mon...

Yeah, shitty magirepo deserves to be last... I think all (not you rena-chan) are very good here and deserve to be equal. A little surprised Elfriede is lower... I suppose her theme is a little all over the place... the fingers at the bottom kinda come out of nowhere and the head is a little out of place. Cendrillon is very good but feels a tad like a number of things patched together. I think the neck and headpiece could be improved. I must admit I have a bias for Zola as Ive rather fallen in love with her (heehee oops!) I think she's so spooky and cool and the colours are great! It was kinda hard to choose out of three great doppels Oh uh, Cendrillon-chan... I forgot you were there... yeah Magirepo doppels are just lazy and awful, NEXT!

Kogetsu winning as she should be... im furious the shitty Blot is not losing though... Komatsu falls into the mishmash category and there's a little too much going on. I wish she was more insect-like. I love Kogetsu though, the dragon is super cool as well as Chizuru's integration. It's just so satisfying to have such a circular silhouette too, she pulls it off well. Drekka Minni... sigh... does not deserve to be second. ITS A FUCKING BOAT. The only part I like is the dragon head but even then it doesnt fit in with ANYTHING else on the witch. I can barely even call her a witch... ugh... Oh and dear sweet Blot. Her witch is pretty good! But the doppel... The doppel is like 1/6th of the witch and they didnt even choose a good bit. Ugly, boring, lazy, and Gunhild has a shit utilisation. If you voted for her we are not friends.

Cassandra deserves to be first for sure and I totally see why Vimala is low. Im not a big fan of Apebis but the design is still pretty good, deserves to be high. I see why Vimala is unpopular as she really just looks like an object. A very pretty object but just an object. Everyone is pretty good here so Im glad most are pretty equal. Magatsu is spooky and cool and so is Cassandra. Maybe they can be spooky gfs from across time

What do you fucking mean no one likes Gosirsa??!! I'm mad Oaji is high hissssss Tara is very pretty and I love a Yokai cameo but she's a little too busy for my liking. Oaji.... Oaji is an object c'moooonnn... she's way too simple why is she top??? There are aspects I like like the reflection and stark red but not enough there. Marita is beautiful so im glad she's at least second. The theme is creepy and the colours are so pretty. But why no love for Gosirsa?! She's teetering on mishmash but I dont think she's that bad! The colours are nice and I love the mechanical bull theme! I get the wheels look a bit weird and not great but that's only one part... Poor girl...

No Aztekium love... yeah, she's not great... the cactus rail gun is not made very well. It's just two objects splortched together... Glad Abigail is high cause she's super fun. Nice colours and fun theme. I'm surprised 9daime is so high since she kinda falls into mishmash... at least the colour scheme is pretty good. I dont like how most of the pieces just don't really go together. Makes sense that Oxford is second cause this isnt a very strong bunch. I hate Miyuri's shitty feet theme but at least Oxford has nice colours and although the legs are busy, I think its pretty okay and the mass of patterns are fun.

WHAT ARE YOU ON JING IS BEAUTIFUL!!! Very unbased. I think the magi chose this one... >:( But... most of these are pretty good... but that doesnt mean Jing can be so low! Catacombe is very cool and has a good overarching theme and colour scheme. Im not so fond cause her colours are a little drab. I think Totentaz is a little boring, not enough going on I suppose and I dont think the wispy arms work. Otherwise she's fine, pretty but a little boring. But mannnnn Jing is so beautiful! I dont understand... the Chinese opera theme is BEAUTIFUL! I love her flowers and the trailing parts and how creepy she is when you look close... sigh... Casuarius is my least favourite here. Dunno, just don't get with her. The colours are very good and I love the symmetry and how Mikage is framed but I don't know if I like how the head part is put together, feels a little like separate things smooshed together without much thought.

When I first voted Frederica was so high and I was SO mad. She's awful, one of the most boring witches. It's just eyes and a jpeg of flowers man... I'm so glad she's at the bottom now. I like the patterns of Hevelius but she is just a lump so I get why she's low. Etteilla is super pretty but I definitely prefer her witch. She's on equal par to Gibdaughter to me. I only chose her cause of my silly metal bias :)c heehee I love Gibdaughter, the metal punk bird is great and I love Kanae's unique hood. These two deserve to be equal

This was a hard pick between ED Catacombe and Totentaz. The first two definitely fall into 'too detailed' for me. Like, man, look at Catacombe she has a whole party going on on her. Dunno if Elfriede deserves to be so low but they're all good. I like her pumpkin theme. I only chose Catacombe because Im not so fond of Totentaz. Does she deserve to be so high..? Eh, no... I think she's only so popular because she's the one that hurts your eyes the least. I think she's good, I LOVE the head cage thing but her bone scythe is too ugly and lumpy looking. I know ED Catacombe does look a little silly with her Papyrus Undertale skulls but I just love the colours and theme. She just works better for me.

These are all pretty equal to me, no idea why Nenemu is so low. Do people just not like Nemu lol? Nolde is pretty, love her colours and matchstick theme. So is Nenemu though I get that she feels a little more busy. I love the eye hands and head, she's more spooky. I dont think Shitori Egumo deserves to be so high. She's nowhere near as cool as her witch but she's still good. Maybe my least favourite? But otherwise they're still pretty on par. I chose Sukhavati because I love her patterns, especially when she opens up. It's a bit of a disservice not showing that aspect. Plus I love a rafflesia lol

Hmmmmmm. You want some controversy? Charlotte's doppel isnt that good guys. You know what the best part of Charlotte is? Her face. Her eyes and her huge mouth. And here..? Um... tiny mouth and no eyes. They took away her best parts! So sorry not sorry she isn't that good. Doppel Oktavia is way too stout for me. Why did they make her so fat? (not fatshaming at all, a plus sized oktavia would be beautiful but she usually isnt) Her head is so iconic why did they remove it and totally change her visor? I just think they ruined such a good witch. And Candeloro absolutely does not use enough of the witch. Its so painful cause I love Candeloro and Mami... She does not need to be that small and insignificant. I chose Ophelia cause um, the witch is actually there!! And I think the horse utilisation is actually smart! This definitely looks more like a witch popularity contest and no one actually looked at the doppels...

Ehh... swimsuit doppels are hard... They're just always so... busy... Meh... Why does no one like Ophelia though??? You're lame... Oktavia is fine. I like the surfboard and colours. I think the different kind of fish is cool but she barely looks like Oktavia anymore... Swimsuit Candeloro is pretty and has nice colours but MAN its way too busy. Swimsuit Ophelia is a bit all over the place. Some colours dont fit in and the turtle looks kinda bad. Swimsuit Charlotte is probably my second fave cause the colours are nice and the mishmash theme kinda suits her but man, some of the pieces look so out of place. Stick with a consistent art style...

Why is Luca so high? Egh... I think Luca's shape is overall so ugly and not good looking. The decorations a kinda okay but way too messy to see what you're looking at. I find her so hard to judge cause I know there's a deeper meaning I dont quite get so she's always on the fence for me. Im a Breadman hater. Why is she so unique? Why is she separate to Sudachi? What makes you so special??!! Too weird, feels like they're trying too hard to be cute. Gothel is pretty. Love the colours and the rapunzel spin. And I love me a set of ribs!! Valentines Breadman is a little better to me, I think a mishmash really suits the chocolate theme. Should be higher than regular Breadman.

Naomi is one of the first doppels I saw so maybe im biased lol. Broiderie is too grey and complex for me. But otherwise she's very beautiful and suits the mushroom theme very well. Not a fan of her weird foot though. Sigh... Heide Jekyll (shit name). I get it, I really do. But you could have made the design better!!! I know its a sensitive topic but you've still gotta make something that looks good! Naomi is beautiful, beautiful colours, I love the dual heads and stark red between the bodies. I kinda wish the arms matched the rest more but otherwise a clear winner. Yeah, Ganni deserves to be last. It's just a helmet man... A very beautiful helmet but just a helmet.

Theresia at the top like she deserves! I LOVE how awful and grotesque she is! You go girl! Go torture someone! Yu Hong is good but a little boring to me. Wish there was more than just the balloon. Beatrice is very good but I kinda hate the bright purple and fleshy pink. Ouch that hurts the eyes. She's a little tooo weird for me (not a good overarching theme) but I like how grotesque she is (wow second time saying that, gross girls forever!) Also how was I today days old when I realised Beatrice-chan is differently coloured... fake fan... but still not great... Theresia sweep is deserved.

Hrrnngghhhh Old Dorothy isn't that good guys.... It's just a bunch of circles c'mon... and the Nightmare-esque creature is so out of place. Why does she have it? You know, the things Homura made in her isolation field? Eh... Sad McDougal is so low, she was my second choice. How dare you put her next to the shite that is Hund Balou. But... she isn't great... very object-y and what is going on with that pink thing? I think Im biased cause i love her magical witch. Winchester is a great translation of the witch. Love her, no notes (well...) Only critique is that the colours are boring but that's obviously her shtick. Hund Balou... is like one of the only doppels that just look so badly drawn. The hands are awful, the hair is awful and the headpiece looks stuck on. BUT... the colours are very pretty and I love her dress. Oh and Hanna's utilisation is so unbearably lazy.

This was kinda a battle of the worst for me... Only chose Winchester cause I like main Winchester. Old Dorothy is too busy, Yu Hong is just green with barely any additions, Cuauhitlan is WAY WAY too busy (but aside from the centre she is very pretty). Man, no one served at this party...

Huh, another battle of the worst... Can we please not have a variant doppel that is unbearably busy? I chose Oktavia cause her colours are really pretty as well as the additions. But... w-why is she fat again??!! (see before, nothing wrong with large Oktavia but she... she isnt in the anime so where has this come from?!) Totentaz is finneeee... but its just a little boring... The green is ugly and the arm bits detract too much from the rest of it. (though i like the repeated red stripes). Tara is just WAY too busy and so is Henrietta. It's so hard to see what's going on... They are pretty but man... tone it down a bit!

I hate Carola so so much its unbelievable. Its such a bad doppel... I need the full description to tell you how awful she is. I am so passionate about how much I hate this doppel (this is from a wip doppel ranking)

Final Carola is... better... I wish this was her usual but im so weighed down by its previous shitness that I didnt vote for her... The colours are pretty and so are the patterns. Caterina isnt a win for me. I have no idea why she has a butterfly theme and I wish it was more like a book. Its beautiful... but not Umika. Im biased for Antonio cause I just think he's so cool???? It's... it's not Kaoru (like hello?? Where is the football theme?) but I just like him aaaa... this was kinda another battle of the worst. I think Final Carola is the best here. (Kazumi Magica you deserve so much betterrrr)

I LOVE SYLVIIIEEEEE! :) ah, where were we... Im very on the fence with Vayu. My opinion changes every time I look at her... I like the shape and the utilisation of Shizuku makes sense but Im not so sure about the colours and the uhhh bag head..? Doesnt make sense to me. Her main witch works so much better. Gela is high for me cause I love cloowwnnnsss! Just kinda wish she wasn't 60% huge beige bag. Love a dual jester hat and two faces but the colours juusstt dont match so well. Tongue and wings dont work so great with everything as a whole. Mmmm heehee Sylvie!!!! I love wind up monkeys, I love maids, I love body horror, I love purple... hello? This diva has no flaawwssss! Why is Paparazzo so high.... its pretty lame... The colours are alright and I love the repeated circles theme but eh the camera body isnt doing it for me. And the eyes feel a little lazy. She's just a little lazy overall...

Forget battle of the worst this is battle of the best! A-and Kriemhild-senpai... Doppel Kriemhild is sooo good... it is a total shame she kinda isnt Kriemhild but a Portable reference wins brownie points in Kit's book! Original is great! No notes. Swimsuit is also very good but it wasnt the winner for me cause she is just a liiiiittle too busy... otherwise the colours are GORGEOUS and she is very good. Haregi Kriemhild is also so beautiful. I think the green is integrated well (they could have fluked that so easily) and the circular background works so well with her overall. Deserves to be on par with the other two, not that low :( And uh Kriemhild-senpai..? Oh look, we've run out of time!

Hrrnnnnnn...... okay Homulilly is great, very good interpretation of Portable Homulilly. Only gripe is that she's kinda one-note on colours. She could've used the red of Portable homu. Now... guys... cool Homulilly isnt that good... Rebellion Homulilly is such a good design and what did they use here?.... oh... oh uh... n-nothing... Where's the spider lily? Where's the gramophone? WHERES THE SKELETON?! It just doesnt do it for me, champ (and i know, this isnt specifically Rebellion Homulilly but c'mon! They were going there with everything else, why not go the whole way!) I think the Lotte are way too busy, if you were gonna do the Clara Dolls, do the fucking Clara Dolls, you have ALL the assets for them! No, she does not deserve to be top y'all are liars and skanks Swimsuit Homulilly... COME ON THE COLOURS ARE LOVELY! This was before variant doppels were stuffed to their britches with too much shit. She's so cute, I love the contrast of the blue and the cute spotty arms aarrghhh y'all are missing out... Haregi Homulilly is too busy and the colours are kinda wack. The 7 Gods of Fortune Lotte just don't work for me... it's too messy and ugly... very unbased here...

Wow that's all up to date! So? Did this make you hate me? I dont really mind lol Im half looking-forward-to, half nervous about what the rest of the results will be...

My Girl

??? X G!P Reader X Ryujin

Description: You were always satisfied. A single Woman that occasionally sleeps around Campus since your Heart already belongs to someone without your knowledge. But what happens when Ryujin asks something of you? Will you forget your first Love and start loving Ryujin?

Warnings: Smut, Reader G!P

Chapter 1:

Ji-hyo looked at me. Her eyes visibly narrowed. "So? What about tomorrow? Are you coming?" she asked as she sucked on her straw. I looked at her and sighed, "I don't know. The tutor gave me until the week after. But yeah, I think I'll come tomorrow and submit it," I replied, nodding my head.

The older woman also smiled. Her head turned briefly to a crowd of people who started shouting loudly in the store, probably playing a drinking game. Some were already drunk, while others were happy as they forced someone to drink.

Here at the JYP Bar, near the university, there were many students relieving stress, especially those who were about to submit their term papers, which was the case for most of the people here. My eyes also looked at the familiar ladies. I had several courses with them, but somehow I could only remember their names halfway.

Lia, Yuna, and Ryujin. I couldn't seem to remember the other two. One of them looked really enchanting, though. Those eyes... I could never look away whenever our gazes met.

Ji-hyo looked at me. Her eyes fell on my phone, which lit up. Almost immediately, she grinned, "Rosé is back in town?" she asked, wiggling her eyebrows. I chuckled as I gently nudged her. My lips formed a small grin as I picked up my phone and read the message.

Roseanne (21:16): Hey, Y/N. I'm back in town, and I'm all alone at home. I really don't want to be alone right now. How about we meet at your place? I really want to see you right now.

A smile appeared on my lips. I stood up and grabbed my cardigan from the chair. Ji-hyo understood immediately and chuckled amusedly, "Have fun. Don't be too hard on her," she said as she watched me put on the cardigan and head towards the door.

Unfortunately, I was bumped into right away, "Oh. I'm sorry, Y/N," I heard the beautiful woman with those cat-like eyes say. I smiled politely, placing my hands on her upper arms to steady her. The taller woman looked at me as she almost grinned, "I never introduced myself... I'm Yeji," she said with a smile.

I nodded my head, "Hello, Yeji. I'm sorry, but I really have to go. I have something important to do," I said as I gently released the taller woman. My eyes briefly glanced at all the empty bottles of alcohol and then at the group of girls and boys.

Apparently, they were hosting a mixer here. An event where an equal number of men and women go out for drinks, like a date.

I smiled as I looked back at Yeji, "Have a nice evening," I said politely. Yeji opened her mouth to say something but was interrupted by one of her friends. I smiled and left the JYP Bar right away. I immediately made my way back home.

Me (21:20): I'm heading home right now. Looking forward to it.

---------------------------------------

My eyes opened once again as I heard the toilet flush. I looked over at the woman who had just come out of my bathroom and was fixing her hair. I sat up, observing the beautiful blonde as she tied her hair up in a messy bun. A slight smile on my face.

Rosé sat back on my bed, slowly getting dressed. My arms, however, wrapped around her hips as my lips brushed against her neck, giving her tender kisses. I felt the slightly older woman sigh and lean against me. "It's okay if you sleep here... It's late," I whispered softly as my lips now trailed over her shoulders, leaving feather-light kisses.

"I can't. I have an important term paper to submit early tomorrow," the blonde woman said as she put on her bra again. I helped her fasten it with a smirk on my face and then stood up, getting dressed as well. "Then let me accompany you," I said as I closed the button of my jeans.

Rosé looked at me, shaking her head amusedly as she watched me getting dressed. I immediately grabbed my phone from the bedside table and put it in my pocket. I patiently waited for the older woman. "How is your mom?" I asked, interested, as my eyes wandered over the blonde's body.

She sighed softly, "She's doing better. She's just a drama queen. She used it as an excuse to get me to go home and visit her. She only had a little fever," she replied, visibly amused. A smile on her face. She then turned to face me.

"But what about you? When I was gone, you surely weren't abstemious, right?" she asked, chuckling lightly. She came over with a slight grin and sat on my lap. I held her firmly at the hips so she wouldn't fall. My eyes locked onto hers.

She laughed a bit, "Oh, come on, Y/N. I'm just teasing you. I don't care who you sleep with... This thing between us is just lust. We still agree on that, right?" she asked, smiling. I immediately grinned and turned both of us around. I supported my hand beside her head and brushed my lips against hers. "I think we've never agreed on something so much," I replied as I connected our lips.

My knee between her legs as she started to gasp. Her hands ran through my shoulder-length hair. "But I think I should take you home, hm?" I asked, grinning slightly as I pulled away from the older woman. I stood up and extended my hand to help her up.

Smiling, we left my apartment. We chatted as we strolled through the streets at a slow and comfortable pace. Occasionally, we stopped at a few red lights, but luckily, we didn't live too far from each other.

I said goodbye with a hug to the older blonde and watched her enter her own apartment. Now, I made my way back home. I even walked slower than before, enjoying the quiet of the night and the fresh spring air.

-------------------------------------------

As I passed by a pub, the JYP Bar, I recognized a familiar student outside. She was crouched down between two trash bins. My forehead wrinkled in confusion, and I approached the woman. I could hear her vomiting between the bins. My nose wrinkled, but I was also concerned.

I knew her. We had attended several lectures together and occasionally chatted. Admittedly, she wasn't the most pleasant person, but she clearly needed help. Sighing, I grabbed the visibly drunk woman's arm just as she was about to fall into her own vomit.

I helped her stand and looked at her. Her eyes were only half open as she looked back at me. I examined her face. It was Shin Ryujin... the woman I always seemed to compete with, or rather, the woman who competed with me. I didn't do anything special, but I could feel her staring at me from a distance, likely because I had better grades.

"Where do you live?" I asked as calmly as possible. Ryujin looked at me, swaying visibly, so I tightened my grip on her. I swallowed as I felt her body against mine when she stumbled over her own feet. My hands wrapped around her hips to steady her. Thoughtfully, I bit my lip.

Ryujin didn't answer. She seemed... completely out of it. Too drunk to even realize anything...

But should I really take a stranger home with me? Could I somehow find out where she lived? Could I just leave her here?

My mind was racing. "Hey, Ryujin. Are you feeling better?" I heard someone say. My eyes narrowed as I inspected the somewhat sober man. He also seemed to sway slightly and had a rather unpleasant grin on his face. I looked him over.

"Do you two know each other?" I asked, and the man looked surprised. He saw how Ryujin's head hung from the alcohol and chuckled a bit. He nodded his head, "Yeah. The sweet one here is coming with me," he said, laughing lightly as he tried to grab her wrist. However, I stopped him, placing my hand on his wrist as I looked at him with narrowed eyes.

"Where does she live?" I asked, nodding my head towards the drunken woman in my arms. He shrugged nonchalantly, "No idea. She'll be crashing at my place anyway," he said as he pulled away from my grip. His eyes narrowed as he looked at me, now a bit angry, "What do you want anyway? Is she your friend?" he asked, now sounding slightly irritated. "Whatever. I bought her too many drinks. I deserve it," he said, trying once again to take hold of her arm.

My suspicion had been confirmed. He wasn't a friend. He was just a stranger in a bar. My eyes narrowed even more. Ryujin was in no condition to respond or even understand the current situation. With my free hand, I reached for my wallet and took out a few bills, "Here. This should be enough," I said, almost disgusted, as I threw the Money at his feet.

Like a greedy pig, he started crawling. I observed him from above, but I decided to take advantage of the current situation and leave. Ryujin securely in my arms.

However, it was becoming increasingly difficult to walk with a drunk woman, so I decided to carry her on my back. Getting her up there wasn't an easy task either. But after several attempts, I finally managed to position her on my back.

The only sounds I heard from her were her constant groans and moans. But she didn't move an inch. Not even when I climbed the stairs to my apartment and opened my front door.

What could have happened if I hadn't taken Rosé home?

I laid the drunken woman on my bed. She groaned again, but said nothing. I took off her shoes and placed them by the front door. My eyes fell on her clothes. I sighed slightly annoyed.

She was wearing a crop top that was already riding up and very short shorts. My eyes narrowed. Should I change her clothes?

I sighed again and decided against it. I would never undress someone without their consent... I covered the practically unknown woman and went straight to the living room. There, I took off my jeans and thin sweater, lying down on the couch. I always slept in my tank top and boxers.

With a sigh, I closed my eyes. Now, I was sleeping on my couch only because someone couldn't control themselves

Act 12: Slipping Through My Fingers

WRITTEN PART -> (1.3k) -> no ss after text

For the past hour, Y/n was stuck in the same spot as before, just recollecting her thoughts. Her hands fidgeting with the plates set on the table already. Tears already evaporated from her eyes as quickly as they appeared.

“mom!” The voice of Yin snaps her out of it. She finds herself turning away from the direction of her daughter's voice to try and recollect herself by wiping away tears that have already dried up.

“Yin, where's Karina and Yuna? Aren't they supposed to help you get ready?”

“i was wondering if you.. would you want to help me get ready?”

In that moment, Y/n felt her whole world light up again. As she grew older, not many things filled her with joy. But when it comes to Yin, her daughter, it's like everything lit up with a twinkle.

“Of course I would help. Is there any reason you want your little old mother to help you?” Y/n's eyes gleamed with joy as she finally got up from the chair and moved closer to Yin.

“i just want to spend time with you before i get married. mother and daughter time before the big wedding” yin shyly smiles, contrasting her usual hyper behavior, which alerts y/n.

“Are you sure there’s nothing more?”

“nothing else” yin shakes her head hesitantly, “is it so wrong for me to want to be with my mom?”

“No, no—lets get you ready now, baby.”

post-shower, yin found herself staring at the vanity mirror in her mother’s room, her hair still wet and a robe on her body. multiple pictures of her mother with the people she loves run along the frame of the mirror.

the woman who looked back at her in the mirror was different from the girl she once knew. yin grew up with her mom supporting her through everything. now that she's getting married, she can't help but feel sad about the fact that she's growing up so fast.

It's a feeling that Y/n knows all too well. When she was there for all of Yin's achievements, it both breaks and warms her heart as the sweet baby she raised grows more and more each day.

As her hands runs along the neckline of Yin's dress it starts to hit her. Yin is grown, and not a little girl anymore. She's a woman who can make choices for herself and doesn't need her mommy's help.

“Should we have you put on your dress first or makeup first?”

the sound of her mother's voice behind her snaps yin away from the thoughts in her head. “what—” she looks at y/n through the mirror, seeing the faint smile that paints her face.

“I guess makeup first considering we're nice and cozy at my vanity.”

Y/n makes herself busy with starting out the base of Yin's makeup. A simple look always complimented the girl best. And it's something easy for Y/n to do.

yin can't help but gaze at her mother, there's always expectations of a child leaving behind their parents once they get married. but how can she do that when it's been the two of them for her whole life.

“have you ever been in love mom..?” she finds herself blurting out. making y/n pause her movements.

A split second passes as y/n thinks of what to say, “yes, but a long long time ago.” She makes eye contact with Yin through the mirror.

“was it my dad?”

Her eyebrows furrow as she's caught off guard by what she heard. “No…” she lies. “And you've never asked about your father— Why all of a sudden?”

yin inhales and exhales a deep breath, “just curious. i'm getting married, i want my mom to have a happy ending, too.”

“Well you don't need to worry,” Y/n's hands pat down Yin's hair before she plants a kiss on top of her head. “I am happy because I fell in love with something else. My surroundings. This place, my life, your aunts, and my beautiful, beautiful daughter. There's nothing else I would love.”

“And I guess Jay has made his way in there too, don't tell him though. I still want to seem like a mean in-law.”

“i think that image went down the drain once you cried when i first brought him here”

“Oh well, how could I have not cried. My baby brought her first boy over. The first sign of you flying the nest.”

“and what's the final sign?”

“Well, look in the mirror. You know, ‘We mothers stand still, so our daughters can look back to see how far they've come.’”

after hearing this quote, yin can't help her eyes from watering, “mom did you just quote the barbie movie? stop, that's my weakness”

a single tear running down yin's face is the spark of the fuse for the explosive thoughts in her head. yin turns her body in the chair to hug her mom. her arms wrap around y/n's waist, and she's now sobbing into her mom's stomach.

the pat of y/n's hand against her hair makes her want to bury herself in the warmth that only her mom can give her.

“mom i'm so so sorry, i invited them.” yin finds herself blurting out.

“What are you talking about, baby? You and Jay controlled the guest list.”

“i invited them.. i'm sorry”

Y/n's hands pause, switching from pats to cradling Yin's head. “Oh.. How—How do you know about them..?

yin starts to ramble out words, “i read your diary from your travels. i'm so sorry, i don't know why, but before the wedding, i just felt that there was something.. missing and—mom?”

she looks up from where she is and finds the view of her mother trying to hold back her own tears.

Y/n kneels down to be face to face with Yin, her hands now cradling her daughter's face. When she feels her tears start to fall, she moves to hug her.

“Oh no, Yin, I'm the one who's so sorry. I didn't know you felt like this. I thought that I was enough and you were fine with just me around… I didn't know you wanted a father figure too.”

“mom, you are more than enough. you've taken care of me all by yourself, and look at me.” she backs away slightly so that they can look at each other. “i’ve grown so well thanks to you. i got to live the life i want thanks to you and your support.”

The mother-daughter duo are now smiling at each other, with their tears still running down their faces. In a way, they're mirroring each other.

“can you forgive me for this? i just wanted to find out who my dad was and maybe give you a second chance at love.”

“I guess it depends. Do you forgive me?”

“for what?”

“Being a raging whore in the 00's.

“mom!”

The two giggle together as they embrace once again. Any reminisce of the tears gone from their faces, but the soaked shirts tell another story.

“can i ask you a really important question?”

“No you can't invite my ex-flings in hope to find your dad.”

“no what— this question is serious.” she takes a deep breath before asking y/n the big question that stressed her out the previous night. “will you walk me down the aisle?”

“I'd thought you'd never ask.”

synopsis = a day before her wedding day, Yin decides to find her father so he can walk her down the isle, the problem? There's three candidates: Lee Juyeon, Kim Younghoon, and Lee Hyunjae.

2B from Nier Automata

she's my girl!!!! she's the reason why I got into drakenier in the first place and she made me understand a lot of things about myself! I also wrote her for years and she's still my fave character to write to and also the one where i think my writing improved the most (though i feel like i've lost most of it)

2. Sophie from Howl's Moving Castle

The moment i watched this movie i know it was going to be my little happy place! I also read the book and despite the differences between both sophies I love both of them dearly! Also we have the same name so that made really happy

3. Yuna from FFX

my bisexual awakening, i didn't know if I wanted to be Yuna or be with her, very jealous of Tidus. I loved her from the moment she was on my screen!

4. Nina Zenik from the Grishaverse

Nina is the reason why i'm so comfortable with the way I look and I don't care about my weight as much as I used to, she was so fierce and the way she's written is so beautiful that it made me fall a bit in love with myself as well! Also bisexual queen!

5. Agnes Montague from TMA

Agnes is one of those characters that doesn't have a lot of info but that's what makes her so good! Also she basically has her destiny settled and she's trying to fight against it which is one of my fav tropes so. even if you've never listened to the magnus archives I think you should search her! (also please listen to the magnus archives if you like horror its sO GOOD)

7. Okita Souji from Hakuoki

the sucessor to tasuki, i've rewatched hakuoki so many times despite okita's heartbreaking ending just bc despite him struggling through life I love his relationship and the way he shows he cares about people despite never saying so

8. Corazon from One Piece

Corazon is my beloved I love his relationship with Law so much and the way he was trying to save his son!!!!! he has my corazon no doubt about it

9.Thorfinn from Vinland Saga

Vinland Saga is one of those anime I recommend to everyone if you're okay with a little gore/violence. Thorfinn's journey should be witnessed by everyone the way he goes from a vengeful path to a peaceful one is so well written and so beautiful to see!

10. Frieren from Sousou no Frieren

Frieren is the new addition to my fave characters, so glad this anime started airing bc it's such a breath of fresh air to the fantasy genre and I adore watching her journey and seeing her in a world that moves without her.

GLIMPSE OF US

word count: 751

pairing: idol!hyunjin x idol!oc (named Yuna)

summary: being an idol doesn't take the human out of a person. They want to love and be happy just like anyone else. The difference is that she wants to love Hyunjin in a more unique way.

warning: none

disclaimer: just something that was sitting on the drafts as rant thoughts that I decided to actually finish. Lunar is the name of OC's fandom

____________________________________________________

'@ user4356_ she looks tired, hope everything is okay '@ luvhyunnie Hyunjin deserves so much better. Stop forcing yourself on him, it's sad' '@ yoonamarryme are you and hyujin dating?' '@ user09239 you look pretty! can you say hi to Germany?' '@ staaay_jinnie STAY AWAY FROM HYUNJIN YOU S*l**!!!!!!!'

Scanning the commentary section, Yoona felt her heart drop. Doing live all by herself these days has become harder without her teammates filtering most of the harsh comments directed towards her.

It only took one innocent interaction with him at the Versace event in France for the internet to go into a frenzy of speculations and numerous theories about their relationship. Old clips of quick glances, group interactions, and what they believed were matching jewelry joined in compilations of videos were shared over and over again around the fandoms.

Yoona glanced at the staff behind her, watching as they monitored the comments and shook their heads at her. She bit her lip, pondering for a moment before she averted her eyes back to the camera.

"Guys..." she sighed, laying her chopsticks down next to the bowl of her half-eaten food. Closing her eyes for a moment, she tried to recollect herself.

It's just too much. She could only take too much.

"You know I'm human, right?" she questioned softly. Staring at the camera as if she was staring right into their eyes. "I am 26 now. I'm an adult. I have experienced, seen, and heard a lot of things, and I still will experience many more. I have feelings, just like everyone else. I feel happiness, sadness, frustration, anger… Sometimes I'm jealous, sometimes I'm insecure, other times I'm really confident... I feel everything you feel, and I want to be able to feel them." She nodded, ignoring the upcoming comments and the staff's concerned gazes from behind the camera.

"I am going to be honest with you. To me, love is the end goal. When I'm no longer 'pretty enough' to be an idol, when I'm old and grey I really want to be able to sit back and say 'I'm happy. I did everything I wanted to do and shared it with the people I loved the most and I know they loved me too.' That's what I want the most. Is it wrong for me to want to love and to be loved by someone? Do I not deserve this as a human being?" her eyes glazed with emotion.

"Today I know I have my family, friends, and Lunar's pure love. And I love you so so much. But I want to have a partner in life someday. Someone that is very dear to me and makes me happy, someone that makes me love in a different way. Is it really that selfish of me?..." Her head tilted to the side in wonder. 

She pondered for a moment and took a deep breath, nodding her head as she said, "I guess, sometimes we can be selfish like this."

"I still don't have this person, but I hope I can be with them soon. I hope to have a beautiful love and be really happy! And when I do, I want to be able to share it with the people I love the most, and I can only hope to have their support and respect back." she smiled hopefully.

"To finish this monologue that has been long," she laughed quietly, "Please remember that, at the end of the day, we, idols, are human beings just like you. We want to be happy just like you, and words hurt us just like it does... to you. Please always be kind and respectful to people, okay?" 

Yoona decided to end her live not long after, wishing lunars a goodnight and to stay healthy before closing the app. 

Thanking the staff, she waited for them to leave the room before she unlocked her phone, a smile blossoming on her face at the text waiting for her reply.

from jinnie <3 the sky looks beautiful tonight reminded me of you and now I’m missing you let’s watch the stars tonight

Yoona didn’t lie when she said she didn’t have her person yet, technically. She and Hyunjin weren’t official, but were rather enjoying the phase of slowly getting to know each other and the little things that made them feel butterflies fluttering on their stomach.

Right now, sitting by the Han river, sharing a blanket and secret kisses with him sounded like paradise to her

To jinnie <3 let’s go

[aokozaki]

is there a localization choice you like enough that you remember it well?

Japanese media loves a dramatic implied love confession. Leaving feelings unstated is very poggers, and common in Japanese entertainment, right?

It's why you get characters saying shit like "I had a lot of fun" or "I'm home" or even "the moon is beautiful, isn't it?" instead.

Anyway, Final Fantasy X was the first FF with voice acting, and this presented a challenge to the localization team. Dubbing shit is hard, because you have to match the lip movements of the original - getting it wrong infamously leads to the much-parodied poor dubbing of martial arts movies.

Shit like [lips move] "Yes of course" [lips keep moving].

(More modern Squeenix games like FF7R or Kingdom Hearts simply reanimate the cutscenes to match the English dub. Much more expensive, but it looks great).

So FFX's solution to "oops we recorded this line but it's way longer than the Japanese line and the lips won't sync" was to just... extend or shorten the lines in post? Speeding up or slowing down the already recorded lines?

This leads to the characters either sounding really slow, or really fast. Kinda distracting! Tidus' "Like-I-care!" comes to mind. The boy says that very quickly.

But sometimes, the English translation would be about the same length as the Japanese original, leading to a fairly natural line-read.

So let's circle back to the original point - unstated feelings and implied love confessions. At the very end of the game, Yuna's last words to Tidus are simply "thank you" (a-ri-ga-to).

And it turns out that, by happy coincidence, this is about the perfect length for the English dub to simply have her say what that line really means, in context:

"I love you"

Once Upon Dreams and Nightmares

Read text version of Cursed Soul:

====Cursed Soul====

She was cursed on the way to find love. She was a free fairy in the sky and was flying, but her wings were torn.

Her bright love turned into a dark curse. Her wings disappeared into the sky.

She was a fairy of love but she was cursed. Her heart and soul were trapped by a dark curse.

Once upon a time, a beautiful fairy named Yuna lived in the green forests of the great land of Gilan. Birds were singing in this forest and the scent of spring flowers was spread everywhere.

Gilan was like a heaven. The heaven where Yuna lived since her birth and has dedicated her love and heart to it. This heaven was Yuna's home and her motherland, and Yuna had a happy life there. She always smiles. A smile that was a sign of happiness in her heart. She always flew in the sky and laughed in freedom.

Yuna's name was taken from her pure heart. Just as her mother whispered her loving lullaby in her ear when she was born, so that she would always remember her daughter to be in love and to love so that she could keep her heavenly land alive with her pure love.

"Never forget my beautiful daughter. This land is alive only with love. If pure love disappears in this land,this whole world will burn like a cursed heart and soul.'

Yuna's life in the forest was good and sweet until one day the forest guards caught an intruder. Yuna went to meet that intruder. Yuna should have been angry, but she couldn't be angry with the look in that boy's innocent eyes.

"You entered my territory without permission and stole. Do you know that stealing is a very bad thing?"

With a childish and innocent voice, Yuna tried to pretend to be angry in front of that boy.

"Please don't punish me. My family is very poor and needs help."

The boy was shaking with fear. He was tired and hungry and his whole body was wounded. Looking at that boy, Yuna could no longer be angry. She took the boy in her arms and flew through the skies to bring him to safety and heal his wounds.

After reaching a safe place, Yuna healed the boy's wounds with her magical power. All the while, the boy was looking at her with a warm smile, which made Yuna blush with embarrassment.

"I forgive you today. But if you enter my territory again and steal from here, rest assured, I will punish you."

Yuna warned the boy in a hoarse voice while trying to hide her embarrassment. She was lost watching the boy's eyes all the time and could not steal her gaze from his shining eyes.

"You are very beautiful. When I look at your black hair and dark eyes, it is as if I entered the night sky and the stars accompany me."

While looking at Yuna with a warm smile, the boy tried to express his love to her, which made Yuna shy and hide her face with her wings. He was a child but his words were very beautiful and full of love. Maybe this love is what her mother told Yuna all the time.

"Umm.... Oh.... Thank you. Your eyes are also beautiful. They are the color of pink roses. It's like I'm walking in a flower garden when I look into your eyes."

Yuna smiled at the boy with her face flushed with embarrassment. She didn't know anything about love, but she knew that these words could easily make him love.

"May I have the honor of knowing the name of this beautiful lady?"

The boy looked at Yuna with bright eyes and was waiting for his answer.

"Ummm...my name is...Yuna."

"In the sense of kindness. So is that why you forgave my sin? Because you have a pure and kind heart."

Yuna frowned at the boy. She was still upset with him. Yuna has protected this land with her heart and soul, she cannot easily allow anyone to enter it and steal from it.

"I forgive you. But on the condition that you promise not to steal from here again. This land is my whole life and I don't want to lose it."

This was the promise Yuna took from that boy, but she did not know that this promise would not be true.

Years passed and Yuna grew bigger and bigger with the love and dream of that boy and became the most beautiful fairy in Gilan. A fairy who took care of the forests with all her might.

The boy Yuna fell in love with grew up. But his heart was filled with worldly greed every day. Every day Yuna watched him serve the king to get gold and money, and this set Yuna's heart on fire because Yuna's heart belonged to that boy and Yuna lived with love for him.

Yuna longed to meet her lover again, to see his shining eyes again, and to caress his golden hair, and to lay her head on his shoulders again and dream sweet dreams.

Yuna wanted to see her lover again so she asked him to meet again. The boy came, but not with a smile, with armor and a sword, and this time it was Yuna's smile that slowly faded.

Yuna always remembers that sweet and kind boy in her dreams who was wounded and asked for help, but it seems that that kind boy has been destroyed. He is now a king, a king who wants to capture all the magic of Gilan.

On that fateful day, Yuna lost two important things in her life. The wings with which she flew freely above the clouds and laughed. and her love Yuna lost her pure love and her heart was caught by a dark curse of anger and hatred. A curse that only sought revenge and forgot love.

Yuna lived in the dark all the time and was waiting for the opportunity. A chance to set the heart of the king who was once her lover on fire to get revenge. To taste the bitter taste of loneliness.

Years passed and the king had a daughter and named her after Yui for her purity and kindness. The girl was as beautiful as her father. Her pink and bright eyes were shining in the sun, reminiscent of pink roses in gardens, and her golden hair was a reflection of the bright sun.

On the birthday of the king's daughter, everyone gathered from all over the land with expensive gifts to congratulate the king's beautiful daughter on her birthday. Everyone came until it was dark. Yuna came out of the darkness to present the hidden gift of all these lonely years to her former lover's daughter.

"You are beautiful just like the sun. But this sun will only shine for 16 years and you will fall into deep sleep on your 16th birthday and only your true lover can wake you up."

This was the curse of Yuna's soul. A curse that had plunged her heart and soul into darkness and erased love from her heart.

Yui was entrusted to the guardians of the forest to take care of her until she grows up and reaches her 16th birthday and everyone finds a way to break the spell.

Yui was a happy and kind child. She runs in the forest every day and fills the forest with happiness with her bright eyes and warm smile. These smiles and happiness are reminiscent of a fairy who runs and laughs like Yui in the woods.

Yuna watched her from the shadows and secretly laughed with Yui's beautiful and sweet smiles and admired her kindness. This kind and pure girl cannot be the daughter of that greedy king.

Yui fell down many times in the forest, but Yuna helped her secretly in the shadows. Even Yuna herself did not know why she did this, but she knew that this girl's heart was different. Her heart sees everything and loves everything.

Yuna followed Yui all the time and watched her secretly. She laughed with her smiles and fell into her childhood dreams with her happiness.

Who was this girl and how could she light up the fairy's heart that was in darkness.

One day Yui heard a voice from among the trees. She knew that one person helped her and watched her all the years of her life.

"Please come out of the shadows. Don't be afraid of me. I want to be your friend."

With an innocent voice and smile, Yui asked Yuna to come out of the shadows and asked her to be friend.

"I am not afraid of you. But if you see me, you will be afraid of me."

"I'm not afraid of you. I want to be your friend. Please come out. I'll see you."

Yuna came out of the shadows with slow steps and showed herself to the girl who had been watching her for years. Yuna expected Yui to be afraid of her, but Yui's smile is brighter than before.

"You are very beautiful. Your black hair and dark eyes are like the sky full of stars and shining."

Yui's words were familiar. These words were just like her father's words, so maybe she is like her father. Is it possible that this girl will change in the future and become greedy like her father? So it is better that she falls into eternal sleep at the age of 16.

But something is different about Yui. Something that makes Yuna's heart beat faster than before and she is always eager to see Yui's beautiful and bright smile. Even if it is popular to hide in the shadows for this purpose.

A feeling was coming alive in Yuna that Yuna had forgotten for a long time.

"Let's be friends. I want to stay by your side. Because you took care of me."

Yui stayed with Yuna and slept in her arms at night.

"If you're a fairy, why don't you have wings?"

"I used to have wings, but they were stolen from me."

Yui looked at Yuna with a bitter smile. She seemed to understand her sadness. She gently wrapped her small arms around Yuna's neck and hugged her. Yui's embrace was warm, just like spring.

"I'm sorry you lost your wings."

"It doesn't matter, Yui."

Yuna could not control herself. Tonight was the night of Yui's 16th birthday, Yui was supposed to fall into a deep sleep soon.

Yuna didn't know the reason for these feelings, but she knew that she didn't want to lose Yui. Yuna's heart was beating faster than before and tears were flowing from her eyes.

Yui's eyes slowly closed and Yui fell into a deep sleep in Yuna's arms. A dream that might mean eternal sleep and Yuna cant see her smile again.

Tears fell from Yuna's eyes. She never wanted this. She wanted to take revenge on the person she thought was her lover, but he was not true love.

"Yui please wake up. Open your eyes. Let me see your smile again."

Yuna hugs Yui's lifeless body and cries alone, she has lost true love this time. The love that broke the curse of her heart.

"Yui, I'm sorry. I was so deep in anger and darkness that I didn't understand what real love is. I still don't know what real love is. I only knew one thing. My life was beautiful with love. With your love that made me smile with your bright eyes every day.

I lost my wings but when you smile at me I fly again. Yui, I know you won't forgive me, but let me tell you, there won't be a day in my life that I won't miss you. I lost my wings but you gave them back to me. You were my wings, Yui."

Tears fell on Yui's face and Yui slowly opened her eyes. It was like a miracle. But this was not a miracle, but love.

"Can I stay with you forever"

"Yes, Yui. Yes, stay by my side. I want you to be my wings."

My mother used to tell me about the beauty of love.

You gave me that love.

Stay by my side and be the wings of my life.

I will admit, I wasn't the biggest fan of Rovian, Yuna and especially the relationship they had since it always felt so one-sided from Yuna's side in season 1.

But with season 2 starting, we had Yuna suddenly not with Rovian anymore and her realizing that she just ran away from her duties, leaving Goha Company stuff with Yuga while she spent her time at Rovian's side who never said anything against her or pushed her away. It was safe and comfortable but she just depended on Rovian's kindness and there was no change possible. She would just remain the same like that.

Now with this duel, Yuna says again how she has to move forward and this isn't possible if she still just stays with the Rovian Bandits. Rovian fully understands (probably always knew that this day would come that Yuna officially leaves her) and trying to make it easier for Yuna to leave with words that might sound harsh at first but they were obviously not meant in a serious way and Yuna understood that right away.

Honestly, Rovian vs Yuna is my fave duel of the Galaxy Cup finals and probably one of my fave Go Rush duels in general. Asaka vs Tell and Nyandestar vs Yuamu were kinda whatever since it was just Asaka and Yuamu getting possessed and beating the other two easily. And Mitsuko vs Zwijo sadly didn't live up to my expectations since nothing really changed in their relationship. We just had Mitsuko fall in and out of love with Zwijo again while Zwijo barely said anything.

But Rovian and Yuna did a significant change in their relationship with this duel. In a way, they "broke up" but none of the girls are sad or angry. Yuna can grow more while Rovian's happy for her. They will go separate ways from now on but they will always care for each other still. And that's beautiful.

While I'm not a fan of how this duel just gave Rovian another loss, Yuna winning just made more sense. But loss aside, this was a great episode for Rovian. I still think the writers barely do anything with her but this episode was pretty good for her. She showed that she cares for Yuna and also lets her go with no bad feelings. Which is why I don't understand people who say this episode "killed" Rovian's character.

Again, as someone who didn't initially like Rovian and Yuna that much, I found some more appreciation for both of them now. The way their relationship was handled here shows me that the GR writers can be really good and not just write goofy scenes or scenes that are pretty meh. (looking at most Manabu scenes *cough*)

random thoughts about tell me that you love me, episode oven four

(the rest is under the cut because i'm worried about your eyes having to read ALL OF THAT and this post might contain spoilers)

NO! Why would they do this to the little girl???? We're not only two minutes into the episode and I'm already crying. Like jin woo said, I wanted them to meet for children's day so she could show him what she practiced.

Seeing how jin woo, an orphan from the church orphanage, is coming back to said orphanage to help the kids there proves that he is a good man. He's sad that circumstances made the little girl's promise break but he chose to spend time with the other kids so they can play with their new friend. He's been an orphan for a long time now so he knows how things can become boring when repeting. He offers his time to spend time with the kids and helping the orphanage (fixing the doors). I'm glad jin woo, his friend, the little girl and all the other kids had a safe place to stay at (assuming nothing bad happened).

I wasn't about to say anything about him painting a little ballerina but now that I know the placement of it I have to point out how thoughtful jin woo is. He painted the little girl (yuna? Not sure) on one of the walls that surrounds the school she wanted to go to. She's always dreamt of going there to learn and make friends but unfortunately she couldn't. So, as a way to "make her go to school", jin woo painted a portrait of her on that wall. This is kindness at the utmost level. I'm sure the little girl is smiling so big from where she is.

One thing I've noticed when jin woo uses his phone or writing to communicate is that mo eun always looks at his face/expressions to guess what he could be talking about before reading jin woo's messages. She's using any form of communication to connect with him and I think that's beautiful.

Ji yu being offended when mo eun told her she was the female version of jung mo dam is one of the funniest moments of this drama lol

Jo han and ji yu are the funniest characters. I really hope they meet and create more chaos together. That'd be hilarious.

When talking about phones and how he feels helpless both with and without them, jin woo remembers mo eun's words, saying how she likes it when they don't use a phone to communicate because then she sometimes forgets he can't hear. Caught daydreaming about her 😏I like that the more we're in this drama, the more we catch little moments of them thinking about (and falling for) each other.

The umbrella scene was cute but mo eun being embarrassed about her mistake was even cuter 🥰

Mo eun finally getting to play a lead role! I'm so happy :D

What makes me even happier for mo eun is her friends being proud and excited for her.

Great job at picuring how nervous mo eun is for her first performance.

But then she sees him (jin woo) and it all seems like everything is okay. They are there for each other

The preview is making me impatient. The girl from the hs accident will make an appearance it seems.

I'm going to give this an 8.9/10

"Everything should be perfect," I grin, "I want my dear to love it."

"She will, sir!" My guard jumps in excitement, "I can't wait to see our queen all grown up."

"She is so beautiful," I lean back into the chair, "You're going to be jealous of me."

"No, sir!" He denies, "I will be happy for you."

"I hope my dear falls in love with me quickly," I sigh, "I'll give her everything she's ever wanted."

"She is lucky to have a man like you, sir!" He says, "Respects her, loves her and protects her with his life!"

"I'm lucky too," I reply, "I'm very lucky and soon I'll be the luckiest man alive on Earth when she falls in love with me."

"I can't wait, sir. I can't wait until she falls in love with you and comes back to the castle as our queen. She would be an amazing queen," he praises.

I smile, "She would be an amazing mother too. I want four to five kids with her. I want to raise them to be the most successful people on Earth."

"Sir! You don't even have to worry. She would be giving birth to living Gods. You are a God, she will be given immortality once you claim her. Your sons and daughters will be conquerors of worlds!" He exclaims.

I chuckle and close my eyes thinking about our life. We'd be so happy. We'd be happy with our small family. I will love her so much she will be overwhelmed. I will love our kids and give them everything. I sigh, "I can't wait."

"Sir, where will you be holding the date?" He asks.

"I have rented out an entire restaurant," I smile, "I'll have a band play her favourite songs. I also have hired the best chefs to make her anything she wants."

"Will you dance with her, sir?" 

"I will if she is comfortable with it," I reply thinking about holding her hand and slow-dancing with her. Heaven... She is heaven. Even the thought about her is heavenly.

"I'll return home now," I stand up, "My dear will finish her work soon and I need to pick her up."

"Is she alone, sir?" He asks.

"No," I answer, "I left her under the supervision of her friends."

"Friends?" He asks with a frown.

"Yes," I smile, "Her friends are really nice."

"I see," the guard smiles.

"I'll be leaving," I walk out.

"Bye, sir!" My guard waves happily and I chuckle shaking my head. 

I quickly walk around my castle to make sure everything is okay and teleport back home to pick my dear from work.

●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○

I had informed her about the date. She told me she would be fully free after her work. So I arranged it to be as soon as possible.

"I don't have a dress to wear," she complains, "Everything nice is back in my house!"

"You look good in everything, Yuna," I reply.

"But I can't possibly wear jeans and a top to our date. Can I?" She asks.

"You can," I smile, "I'll be fine with whatever you wear as long as you're there." 

"But what about others? I don't want to embarrass you," her voice goes low.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"I-" she pauses, "I'm not rich and I don't know how rich people are like either. I don't want to embarrass you by being... I don't know low-class?" She chuckles.

"What?" I walk closer to her, "No, Yuna. You don't have to think like that. You're amazing just the way you are. I don't care what others think about it."

"How are you so nice?" She asks.

I smile, "I don't know."

"I'll go get my dresses from my house," she says, "Can I get your car keys? Or never mind, I'll take the bus."

"No, no," I deny, "I'll buy you new ones."

"No," she shakes her head, "I'm fine with my old ones. You've already done enough for me."

"Nothing is enough," I reply, "Nothing that I do for you will be enough. You deserve the world and more."

"What?" She laughs, "Stop being so cheesy."

I grin, "I'm being honest."

"Fine," she gives up and sits down, "You can choose the dress then."

"No, you can choose whatever you want and I'll buy you that," I reply.

"I have very bad taste in fashion," she laughs, "I think it's better if you choose. And besides," she sways her upper body sassily, "I want to see if my future boyfriend can buy his date a nice dress."

I was on the edge of screaming in happiness, "I'll buy you the best dress in this world."

"Oh, my, my!" She exclaims, "Just buy me something simple and nice."

"No," I whisper to myself, "I'll buy you the best dress and the most comfortable pair of shoes."

"Let's go," I extend my hand which she gladly accepts. She doesn't know how much effect she has on me.

"Can we get some fast food on the way?" She asks.

"Sure," I take her to the car and hold the door open.

"Such a gentleman," she compliments giggling and gets inside. I blush. I probably blushed a dark shade of red but who cares. She's allowed. She's allowed to do whatever she wants with me. She can even take my life. I'll gladly give it to her.

"You're making me feel like a gold digger," she shakes her head.

"What? You're not," I reply, "You're not a gold digger if I am the one insisting."

I don't care even if you were one.

"I don't know," she sighs, "You know? If we met when my grandfather was alive, I probably would have fallen hard on the first day itself for you," she smiles sadly.

I regret everything.

"You still can," I say softly, "But I want it to be true."

"I do like you," she replies, "You're really nice for a billionaire."

I smile, "I've fallen hard for you."

"Really?" She giggles, "What made me such a worthy partner?"

I stop the car as we reached.

"You," I say, "I don't know. You just are. You're perfect. You're amazing."

"You seem like you're in love," she says.

"I might be," I reply and look deeply into her eyes.

She blushes and tries to look away but I stop by lightly holding onto her chin, "I might be in love with you."

She gulps and I lean in slowly to make sure she's comfortable and if not, giving time to push me away or stop me. She doesn't stop me and I lean in very close. Our lips almost touching, "May I?" I ask against her lips. She nods slightly and I press my lips onto hers. I didn't expect her to kiss me back.

But she did.

Yandere ran haitani x fem reader [part 8]

[A/n: I should really make a schedule on when I update my series😭 sorry for the wait!]

"Are you serious!?" 

You just nodded and took a sip of your drink.

You called Yuna over the next day and told her everything about the call you got last night.

"I was thinking of reporting it to the police."

"I don't think that would do much. Isn't bonten hard to trace and catch?" You sighed knowing she was right. 

If the police couldn't find any traces of them throughout the years then how would they be able to trace yoshi now?

"I feel so useless now! I can't do anything to help yoshi get back and have to just sit here and wait while the police tries everything they can"

Yuna felt her heartbreak seeing you so stressed and worried. 

"Don't stress yourself too much y/n, let's just hope that the police will manage to catch them and bring yoshi back safe and sound" you nod at her words and hold onto that little hope you still have.

Yuna left soon after and you were once again left alone, well not exactly since ren was still here with you.

You got up from the couch and decided on taking a nice warm shower. 

-

Days have passed since that call. And during those days you felt scared living alone.

You don't feel comfortable around your own home now. The feeling of someone watching you while you do your daily home activities makes you want to crawl under your covers and hide. You couldn't eat without looking around and still feeling like something is there.

And your belongings, they sometimes go missing. For example your favorite perfume that you bought not so long ago has gone missing for weeks until later it randomly appears again.

At first you didn't pay any attention to it. But it suddenly got worse to the point that you're scared about your safety.

And you know that its ran and his co-workers.

You've seen them wandering/driving around your neighborhood and sometimes you see those exact same black cars you saw months ago follow wherever you go.

You never knew ran would be this crazy. But you wonder.

Why is he doing this? Does he not want you to be happy? Does he want to ruin your life?

What does Ran Haitani exactly want from you?

Does he hate you so much that he will do anything to make your life miserable?

But you got it all wrong.

The reason behind all this is not because he hates you but it's because he still loves you. Of course you don't know that, you still don't know that your ex still has feelings for you and that he would do anything to get you back and love him like old times.

Ran will make sure that nothing gets in the way of his love for you. He hates seeing you happy with someone that isn't him. He doesn't care what he has to do or the consequences that will later come.

All he wants is you

You and only you

So what he comes in the middle of the night when you're sleeping just to watch you sleep peacefully not knowing he is there?

He doesn't care that he sends rindou or sanzu to watch over you when he can't. Or follow you around when you shop for groceries or cat food.

And yoshi?

Well he has other plans for him. 

But now his main focus is you.

So what a surprise it is when you hear a knock at the door late at night. You open it thinking it was yuna dropping some things off only to find him.

Beautiful lilac eyes staring right back at you. The same eyes you fell in love with back then but soon moved on.

The first time you saw him again after years was on that date with you and yoshi. But now seeing him up close you could feel shivers down your spine.

"What the hell are you doing here?"

"Is that a way to speak to your lover?" He teases with a smirk.

"Ex lover you mean?" 

His playful expression instantly fades away and morphs into one you couldn't understand.

He walks inside your house and you follow right behind him with a scowl.

"Hey what are you doing? Get out!"

"I just want to talk"

You stared at his figure as he sat down in the living room. 

"Come sit and let's talk"

"I'm good I'll stay over here"

He hums and looks around the place.

"What a nice place"

"Thanks, yoshi help with decorating" he bit his lip and grip the seat when you mentioned your lover's name.

"Is that so?"

"Mhm, speaking of Yoshi, where is he?" He rolled his eyes.

"I came here to talk to you and all you do is whine about him. Yoshi this yoshi that C'mon stop worrying he's fine!" You flinch at his outburst. You could tell that the mention of your boyfriend pisses him off. He leans back on the couch and looks you in the eye.

"Now let's talk about us"

"Us? What about us ran?"

He sighs and takes out a cigarette and lit it up.

"You know, our relationship. You know I was really dumb back then" he says before exhaling the puff of smoke. 

"You were" you mumble underneath your breath. You sighed and looked at him.

"What about our relationship?"

"Well, I was thinking about us. And how we could've worked out if I wasn't-"

"Ran…listen you broke up with me first. You made it clear back then that you didn't love me anymore and now I've moved on and I'm happy with someone-" 

"Are you?" 

"Yes"

"Y/n I know I was a dumb teen back then but I have change. And I love you and want you back, so how about leave yoshi and be with me instead!" You looked at him like he was insane. You scoff and glared at him.

"But I don't love you anymore ran! Just please give yoshi back and leave me alone!"

It was silent for a moment. He didn't utter a single word and you felt uneasy.

You don't love him anymore?

What kinda sick joke is that?

"Well then…" he says and gets up from the couch. He drops the cigarette before stomping on it.

"I really wanted to talk it out with you but I guess I have to get you back another way."

You step back as he starts walking closer to you.

"What do you-" you bump into someone's chest from behind you and you feel your breath hitch.

"I'm sorry love"

Before you could say anything else you felt something hit your head which caused you to fall on the floor and blackout.

"She really doesn't like you huh"

"Shut up sanzu and get her in the car"

He watched as his brother and sanzu carried your unconscious body away.

"I didn't want to use this on you but you didn't leave me no choice love" he said before following right behind the two and getting in the car.

Ran haitani truly is obsessed and deeply in love with you.

Everything in Your Silence

happy yuna day yall! so it's our precious baby's birthday today and i've been lowkey dreading today because a lot of people are already looking to sexualize Yuna but there's no need to dampen the mood. i hope you all enjoy this and that we all support Yuna and the rest of itzy in all their future endeavours 💓 also i was listening to Enchanted by Taylor Swift, specifically the chorus, when i thought this idea up disclaimer/s : this is just fluff, maybe a swear word or two thrown in there but content-wise you're good.

Shin Yuna was the person to watch out for in your school. A gorgeous, talented, and charismatic kid who had so much in store for her future. It wasn't a surprise that you two'd never met formally, but you knew her.

You two had lived across the street from one another for years. You'd known her name, seen her around, shared a number of classes together, and even had many mutual friends. Yet somehow you'd both been able to escape each other's acquaintance.

That all changed the night of your neighbourhood barbecue.

While you usually couldn't be bothered to come, your mom had called you out to bring over more plates from your kitchen. Rushing to the household across the street, you looked around the crowded lawn. Eyes glancing over every familiar face.

Then you see her, staring at you, an awestruck look on her face.

You feel your heart pick-up speed. You shook off the growing nervousness that began clawing up in your chest from the intense gaze from across the lawn. Soon, you met up with your mother, handing her the plates she asked you to fetch.

"I don't think we've ever met." Mr. Shin said after swallowing his drink. You grinned sheepishly and scratched the back of your neck nervously. "Y/n, right?" He continued, making you chuckle softly and nod at his question.

He motioned to the food on the table on the far end of the fenced in house. "You should stay, eat, mingle." Feeling like you weren't in a place to decline, you nodded and slowly made your way to see the selection.

The sun was high in the sky and you could feel yourself breaking into a sweat as you eyed the wide selection of meat and side dishes that they offered. A soft tap on your shoulder brought you back to reality and as you turned, you locked eyes with the same eyes you'd seen from across the street for years.

Your ears perked up and your posture visibly stiffened. Yuna couldn't help the amused giggle that fell from her lips. Heat spread around your cheeks. Her laugh was so light and delicate, so sweet. She lifted her hand to reveal a cold can of soda.

"You look like you could use something cold." She explained before slipping the cool can to you. Allowing your fingers to meet and linger for a moment. Your eyes still locked in an intense stare-off. As if everything you wanted to say was already exchanged.

Beginning to feel the moment fade she cleared her throat and pulled her hand away to push a lock of hair behind her ear nervously. You took a big sip of the soda she'd offered you to try and cool your body from the moment you two briefly shared.

You shifted on your feet awkwardly, sneaking glances of the beautiful girl beside you. She knew it of course and she found it adorable. Finally, she smiled up at you again and said, "I'm Yuna."

You grinned, a giddy feeling taking over you as you stared at the shorter girl. "Yeah, I know. I've lived across the street from you since we were kids." You explained. A hearty laugh echoed from your chest as her eyes widened to the size of the moon.

"I never even noticed!" She exclaimed, a sense of guilt running through her. You waved her off. "It's fine, I kind of blend in anyway." You muttered before taking another sip of the canned soda.

"Maybe, but it's still a shame." She commented before fiddling with the items on the table beside you both. "I'd loved to have met you a little earlier." You choked on the drink as she finished what she said, coughing out violently. A small smile grew on her face as she rubbed your back gently. "So damn cute..." She commented, adding fuel to the flush over your cheeks.

The afternoon flew by almost like a snap of a finger. Sooner than either of you wanted, the party was over and she had to help her parents clean up. You'd helped out a little to lighten the load on the family...but mostly to squeeze in more down time with Yuna.

You hadn't realized how much you two had in common and how deeply you two had connected in a matter of mere hours. Before long, she had brought you to your door.

You turned to see her staring up at your house. You tilted your head to the side, curious to hear what she was going to say. "I walked past this house every day and yet I've never met you before." You smiled at her, crossing your arms.

"Was it worth the wait though, Yuna?" You asked, tilting your head curiously to the side. A toothy smile growing over her lips. Before rolled her eyes and walked up closer, running a hand through your hair when she was close enough. "It was a delight to meet you, Y/F/N." The smile on your face grew tenfold

After you first met, she paid more mind to you. Be it when you go out to pick-up the mail or when her and her friend group walked down the hall. She made more time for you, of all people. The thought made your mind race and your heart hammer wildly against your ribs.

Yuna had made quite the impression on you, as you did with her.

One night, you were hard at work at your desk. The latest math assignment lay in front of you, taunting you as you grew more and more frustrated with the material. Just as you were about to scream out in frustration, a pebble hit the glass pane. Curiously, and rather terrified, you cautiously slid the window open to which you felt a pebble collide with your forehead.

You groaned softly as you heard a familiar giggle from below. You chuckled seeing Yuna behind your fence before rubbing the sore spot. "I am so sorry!" She mustered out between laughs.

"Shhh! It's late, Yuna..." You called out softly, looking around the hallowed streets. Another giggle fell from her lips, if you weren't so nervous about being reprimanded, you would have melted on how cute she was. "You've been cooped up in your room all weekend. You can stand for a break!" She replied, lifting her arm up to reveal an array of random snacks you knew she'd stolen from her family's pantry.

"You're dumb." You deadpanned to which the other girl pouted cutely. A chuckle left your mouth despite your best efforts to hold it back. Yuna merely stared up at you, a warm smile on her face. "Come on, N/n...for me?"

Whenever you heard that line, you always felt the need to roll your eyes but when Yuna looked that angelic you couldn't help the soft smile that grew over your face. "Okay. Give me a minute." You said before rushing to your closet to grab a jacket and snuck out through the back door.

She grinned at you as you rushed out, glancing behind you. A laugh flowed through the wind as she watched you run towards her before barreling into you as well. With her arms wrapped around your neck and her breath on your neck, you could feel a chill run up your body that could barely compare to the coldest winter day.

Pulling away reluctantly, Yuna took your hand in hers, leading you down the street and into the night. "So do you have any particular plans for this little outing?" It was a fair question even though you knew the answer. She dragged her feet before she twirled on her own axis. "Nope. When do I ever?"

You spun her around playfully, both of you laughing as you did, before pulling her to your side. Your arm slung around her shoulders in a comfortable way while her arms were wrapped tightly around your middle.

There was a silence, no words, just your footsteps and the rustling of the plastic bag in her hands. It was new to you; Yuna being quiet. It felt foreign to you but at the same time there was something comforting about it. The way you two could sit in silence and convey everything you wanted to say and feel.

And it almost felt like enough.

"I haven't stopped thinking about you since the party that day, N/n..." She whispered, her voice was tiny compared to her usual charismatic vocals. You hummed, waiting for her to continue as you leaned your head on top of hers. "...And I can't stop thinking about you."

She pulled away to face you. "It's crazy. It really is." She said before taking your hand in hers. You rubbed the back of her hand with your thumb. You gathered your bearings before you spoke.

"I feel the same way. Like what we have..." You gestured between you two as Yuna's eyes trained on you with so much adoration. "It's so sudden but I want to know where it goes." You paused to take a step closer to the other girl. "I'm not saying we rush anything...but I don't just want to be your neighbour."

Yuna leaned up and placed a gentle kiss over your cheek, letting the touch linger. Just like the first time you met. As she pulled away, her soft eyes stared up at you filled with adoration and affection. "You stopped being just that after the first day we spent together, dummy."

Your hands interlocked with one another despite the sweaty palms and trembling fingers. You two spent hours eating the stollen snacks and talking and laughing deep into the night with the promise of something more. As you left her at her front door, she placed lips over your cheek before disappearing into her house.

Neither of you had to outright say it but you knew that, for the time being, she was yours and you were hers. It was your unspoken bond.

i was going for a puppy love kind of thing that turns into something more. idek, i liked the idea in my head AHAHAHA i hope you all enjoyed and had a good Yuna day! keep safe and i will see you all very soon! bye 💓

It can be read separately but this doesn't have a proper ending.

i.

You can vividly remember the reactions of all the other princesses when they found out you were arranged to marry none other than Prince Han Jisung. They snickered and laughed. They blatantly shared pitiful glances, taking turns to pat your shoulder as if it could bring you a sense of comfort.

Of course, at the growing age of fourteen, you had no idea why they had been acting as so. From images and stories you received of the Prince, he seemed like someone who would be easy to get along with. So why the judgmental looks?

"They're the poorest of all the kingdoms, Y/N," Yeji pointed out, "Your kingdom is one of the richest, of course, after mine. Don't you think that's rather odd?" She traced the laces of her gloves and scoffed discourteously.

You bring the teacup up to your mouth, eyeing your friend curiously, "What do you mean by that?" You gulped, afraid that the image of your family name would be stained. It was not your choice, however, nor your parents'. You had been drawn to be last when choosing a suitor, and naturally, from the apparent reputation and wealth of the Han family, their son was the last left to be selected.

Yeji scoffed, the other princesses laughing at how naive you've been acting, "Obviously, their family's going to leech off of your family. I think your parents should rethink their decision of choosing Han Jisung as your future husband."

Shaking your head, you frowned at the meaningless words that your friend had been spitting out, "I don't think that's needed… Isn't that what we're supposed to do? Help each other out? How bad can Han Jisung be?”

Lia finally speaks up, "I heard that he rolls around the mud with their pigs."

"And… he doesn't even take a bath after doing so," Yuna budges in. She stirred the cooling tea with a miniature spoon, a smirk rising up to her lips, "Imagine how his bed smells. Rancid."

"I hear he's poor-mannered, too… that he lacks the respect a prince should need towards others," Ryujin says stiffly, "Just generally not fit to be a king. I feel bad for you, Y/N."

There was a brief silence between the six of you, the sound of Yuna's spoon tapping the sides of the cup occupying that silence. Though you felt yourself frown at the possibility that you were to be married to an ill-mannered prince, you quickly shook those thoughts out and tried your best to ignore them. You were taught never to be driven towards believing rumours or gossip in this case. Who were they to judge someone they never met? Except for Yeji, who met him through her brother.

"I ask you all not to pity me in any sort," you finally say, "Not until I've met him. Besides… those are just rumours. He could be much better than you hear." Satisfied with how you handled the situation, you straightened your back and took a long sip of your tea, mentally preparing yourself for your first meeting with the Prince.

—

Upon arriving at the valley region, the kingdom owned by the Han's, you immediately understand why your parents settled with their son. Though you were last to choose your suitor, your parents and his parents seemed to be closely acquainted, smiles on their faces and direct contact as they greeted each other. You stood back, watching the exchange begin and end, rather amused at how happy both sets of parents looked.

"I'm so happy you all arrived safely," the Queen of the valley region clasped her hands. The King nodded and let his wife continue, "And I'm so glad that our children are to be married by chance… All the other young princesses chose, while you–" She looked over your mother's shoulder and at you, "You and my precious son fell into this arrangement by fate's doing! The world wanted this."

Your mother responded by smiling fondly, "I never viewed the situation like that!" They begin to move up the stairs towards the front entryway, the knights moving along the four majesties. You followed closely behind, listening in on the conversation as you let your eyes wander around. "My mother had been upset that Y/N fell last, telling me I would not be able to choose the best," your mother began, "But I don't see any problem with that."

Compared to other castles you've visited, you could definitely see how much wealth the Hans did have. It was still very much a beautiful castle. It was well-kept and unique in build. Something drew you to it. But you couldn't exactly point out what part of it did.

"I understand your mother's perspective," the King chuckled, "No one likes being last. However, I believe that in such matter, no one is stuck with the 'worst.'"

At this point, everyone had entered the castle, and this was when you could see that the Hans were, in fact, less wealthy than the other royal families. Much of the furniture and interior decorations were quite old, almost antique, but again, it was a feature of the castle that drew you in. The outside of the castle looked much larger than the interior.

"Ah! I almost forgot," the Queen turned to look at your family, "My son is out and about exploring. We instructed him to come in time to greet you guys at the entrance but boys his age never listen." At the mention of Jisung, you almost forgot about him, causing your curiosity to rise.

"Miss Kim?"

A lady appeared from another room, hurriedly approaching the Queen with a bow, "Yes, your majesty?"

"Please escort Princess Y/N to Prince Jisung," she instructed gently, "It will be nice for them to get acquainted while we continue with our conversation about this arrangement."

Miss Kim nodded and waved you over with a motherly smile, "Let us go, Princess." You quickly bid your parents goodbye before trailing behind Miss Kim. Though her legs were short, she moved with ease, almost flying down the corridor with a constant speed. She didn't look back to see if you had still been following her as your footsteps helped her indicate your presence.

"I suspect the Prince is somewhere by the garden," she mutters urgently, "Or by the river."

"River?" you questioned. The idea of a river caused you to smile. Your family ruled the mountain region, meaning there were not many rivers to visit. A river would be a nice change in scenery. Miss Kim finally leads you out of the back of the castle, the sight of flowers taking over your line of sight.

"Prince Jisung?" she called out, "Prince Jisung?" It was rather enjoyable seeing Miss Kim run around frantically in search of the Prince. Your mind wanders back to the conversation you had with other princesses, how the Prince is ill-mannered, one who was not fit to be a king. With his absence in greeting you and your family, you're afraid that the other princesses were actually correct with this information.

"I'm over here, Miss Kim!" a voice called out, "By the pond!"

Once again, Miss Kim waved for you to follow you. You hiked up your dress and tried your best to keep up with her speed, though she still kept the same pace she previously had. She walked straight down the stone path, turning right onto another pathway, and then left, finally revealing a beautifully decorated pond.

"Ah, there you are, my prince!" Miss Kim had been blocking your view of the third presence, marching towards the pond. You let her move ahead, allowing her to approach the Prince on her own, "The Y/L/Ns are here… your mother strictly told you that you should be there to greet them."

Still a voice with no face, you hear him reply, "I'm sorry, I lost track of time… I'm feeding the fish!" There was a moment of silence as the Prince went to stand up, finally revealing the frame of his body to you. He turns to face your direction. His head was kept down as he dusted off the dirt from his pants.

"Do I have time to chan–" The Prince finally noticed you standing yards away from him and Miss Kim, causing him to halt abruptly in his words, "–ge?"

"Your parents have ordered for you two to get acquainted," Miss Kim stated, "I assume I will be the one to call you both shortly for dinner." At this, she turns to hurry back, leaving you and the Prince alone.

He bows stiffly, "Nice to meet you. I'm Jisung."

He bowed… that's a good indication of manners, right? You curtsy, "I'm Y/N."

"I know who you are," he says happily, beginning to walk back towards the main path. You follow, "You know they call you the 'Snow Princess' here? Which I don't understand because the mountains aren't always filled with snow." He looks back to see if you followed him, "Do you mind if we drop our titles with each other? We are at the same standing."

"I don't mind," you replied. You're taken aback at his apparent tendency to talk, "We are arranged to marry in a few years…."

"Well, Y/N," he begins, a bright smile on his face, "How should we begin?"

You watch as he advances forward, hands swinging carelessly, something you were taught never to do. As a princess, you were taught to cross your hands in front of you to give you a poised appearance. Jisung had a hop in his step, his posture could be straighter, and his hair was unkempt. You could already say that Yeji's brother, Hyunjin, was probably the opposite of Jisung. He kept himself tidy, he came on time to schedules and never interrupted when another was speaking. This is perhaps what Ryujin meant when she said Jisung was not fit for a king.

"How do you like to spend your time?" You questioned. You figured that this was a way to start a conversation, hoping that it would blossom into another.

Jisung hummed in thought, "If I'm not doing my studies or sleeping, I tend to spend my time here… just deep in thought." He raised his arms, presenting the garden to you.

"You don't go horseback riding? How about practicing swordsmanship?"

He shrugs, "We're short on horses right now, and my father is prioritizing the knights with the horses since they need it. As for swordsmanship, my mother wants me to wait until I'm older."

Short on horses?

"Ahhh, I understand," you nodded awkwardly, "If you ever come to my kingdom, I'll take you horseback riding! You seem like the person who would love doing it."

This sparks a feeling of joy in Jisung, a smile reflecting it, "That would be really nice! I'll look forward to that." He stuffs his hands into the pockets of his dress pants, "How about you? How do you spend your time?"

"I do studies, like you… I read, visit the village. Horseback riding, of course… suddenly I can't think once I'm asked," you laughed, "But I'm often very active and doing my duties."

"Your life sounds a lot more interesting than mine," he grins, trying to laugh the sad reality off, "It's evident in the way you can't even list all of your activities." You could see his smile start to falter, bangs falling over his forehead as he looked down at his feet.

You feel your heart stutter, and soon you're frowning. The words you had told the other princesses echoed in your head. Isn't that what we're supposed to do? Help each other out?

Reaching out, you grab ahold of his wrist. At the sudden contact, he flinched slightly before relaxing at the realization, "You're still happy, aren't you?"

He nods gently, still dwelling on the fact that even though you both stood at the same social standing, his wealth didn't amount to yours, and he couldn't help but be embarrassed. He couldn't help but feel bad you were stuck with him as a future husband when it was quite obvious you could do better.

"Then that's what matters," you say. A part of you wanted to tell him not to compare his life to others, but you stopped yourself, refraining from creating emphasis on your wealth and his supposed slight lack of it.

At your exchange of glances and sympathetic smiles, the footsteps of Miss Kim grew closer. Looking over, you see as she's waving you both over for dinner. Jisung nodded and held up a thumbs up to indicate that you both were going to follow, sending Miss Kim back to tend to the meal.

Jisung turns to once more, "Thank you, Y/N. I'll live by that."

–

"So?"

Yeji, Hyunjin, and Lia sat around the table, eyeing you as if you owed them something of great importance. You stared back at them, straightening your back as you become aware of the attention on you.

"Pardon?" What is it that you needed to tell them? You didn't recall promising them any sort of information, nor did you have news to pass on.

"How was your visit to the valley region?" Lia questioned, "Was it all as they say it was?"

Yeji leaned towards you, "And Prince Jisung? Was he ill-mannered?"

You mentally bring a hand to your forehead, comprehending what it was they were expecting from you. You assume they wanted you to traduce the Han family and their kingdom. But despite the obvious difference in wealth they had from the rest of the kingdoms and the fact that Jisung lacked the training he needed as a prince, you found no problems in the Han family.

"Their castle was unique," you begin, "It was beautiful, actually." You use a fork to poke into the sliced fruit laid out on a plate, bringing it to your mouth as you wait for their reactions. As anticipated, puzzled looks rose up onto their faces, rather confused about your comment. You continue, "The interior was beautiful as well. Not as extravagant as the Hwang family's castle, but it was still a sight to look at. It was adorned with flowers.

"As for Prince Jisung," you could feel some sense of protection over him, biting back your tongue from saying rude things to those in front of you, "He's just as much a prince as Hyunjin. He's playful and carefree, is all. So I hope you all should refrain from listening to the gossip being spread about the Han family, especially since they're going to be part of my family in the future." The three of them sat back and nodded. You wished you could laugh at the embarrassed and apologetic looks on their faces, but to their eyes, that would not be very polite of you.

ii.

It wasn't until two years later that Jisung had been actually able to visit your kingdom. Though you did enjoy visiting his kingdom and enjoying the change in scenery, having him come to yours was something you had wished for ever since you met him.

Over the past two years of getting to know each other, you had grown much closer than you initially expected. Jisung had a view on life that contrasted to yours in more ways than one, and learning of the different perspectives of the world allowed you to adopt an open mind. You believe that he made you a better princess and future Queen.

Likewise, Jisung has been able to get a taste of what a typical royal life is like through you. Though his family was still able to experience the everyday duties and privilege of being royalty, there were limitations when it came to his position. Through you, he could at least understand what other things were expected of him. As he grew physically, he grew mentally, learning to appear princely in front of others without completely stripping the playful personality he had around those close to him.

Regardless of what others did say about the Han family, the relationship between you both worked well in all sorts of ways. You would always think about what Jisung's mother had told your parents, how you both were brought together by fate, and in that sense, you guys were meant to be partners.

"Ready to ride horses?" You had a mischievous grin on your face as you pulled the boy behind you.

"Why are you smiling as if the horses could kill me?" Jisung eyed you suspiciously, genuinely afraid of what could happen next. He stumbled over his own feet as he followed you, scared yet excited.

You laughed, "I mean, they can, but they won't."

The two of you finally arrived at the stable, catching Seungmin placing the saddles onto the horses. He greeted you and Jisung with a bow before speeding up in doing his task.

"I promise you, I won't let you get hurt in any way," you say. You asked Seungmin to bring the horse out for Jisung, who refused to guide the horse without experience, "You'll get the hang of it. Watch me get on and do the same."

He nods, listening to every single syllable of your words. Setting your left foot onto the stirrup, you grab hold of the saddle and heave yourself up after a couple of bounces on your right foot. You swing your leg over your horse, Blizz, with ease, quickly making yourself comfortable on the horse.

"That… that can't be too hard…." Jisung muttered. He mirrors what you previously did, setting his foot onto the stirrup and grabbing hold of the top of the saddle. You watched as he bounces countlessly on his right foot, unable to find the right time to pull himself up.

"Do you need help, Prince Jisung?" Seungmin questioned. You almost forgot that he was standing aside because of how amused you had grown in watching Jisung.

Jisung shook his head, mentally shooing Seungmin away as he finally times everything right and heaves himself up. Forgetting to throw his leg over the horse's, Buran, body, for a brief moment, Jisung's body had been doing over the horse, hovering as his foot stuck to the stirrup.

"Sung, throw your leg over!" You exclaimed, holding back a laugh. You shouldn't even laugh, as he barely rides horses, but you couldn't help but find the situation hysterical. Jisung was close to panicking, but right when he was going to back off of the horse, he finally found the courage to build momentum to swing his leg over.

"I did it!" He gasped. Jisung shifted slightly on the saddle to make himself comfortable, a proud and bright smile on his face.

"You're a natural!" You tease. You let Blizz move closer to Buran, mirroring Jisung's smile widely, "It's actually difficult getting on horses. I'm surprised you didn't have much trouble."

"Of course," he joked, winking, "I'm me."

You playfully hit his shoulder before going over the ways he was supposed to guide his horse. He listened carefully, never seeming to blink for the next ten minutes of your brief lesson, "I won't go any faster than this." You rode circles around Jisung, keeping your attention directly on him. Judging by the expression on his face, he was nervous to begin moving, "Are you ready?"

Jisung nods confidently, gesturing for you to go ahead of him so that he can follow.

"I'm staying beside you," you told him.

You both started off slow, following a man-made path that circled your family's castle. Jisung had great control of Buran, though his knuckles were white from the grip had on its reins. You assure him that he was okay, that Buran was well trained and would not go out of control even with the most hectic of occurrences.

"Are you sure you haven't ridden before?" You questioned, "Wanna speed up a little bit?"

He nods, "Not so quick, though… I want to ease into it." You nod understandingly as you both begin to speed up. He follows you, heart pounding at the possibility that Buran would not understand his controls, "I've ridden once before, but my father was the one controlling the horse… He let me hold onto the reins, but that was about it."

"How long ago was that?"

"When I was about five."

Making plenty of rounds around the castle, you decide to divert down the path down to the edge of the town. Jisung followed you, even moving slightly ahead, "Your kingdom is beautiful, Y/N."

"I could say that about yours, Sung," you catch up to him and let your gaze fall onto Jisung. The gentle breeze softly brushed through his hair, exposing his forehead. You could tell that he was slowly growing used to the feeling of riding. You figured that speaking to him was a great distraction from the nerves.

He smiles at the mention of his home before shaking his head, "Oh hush… this is about you." He returns your gaze, snickering once he gets a proper look at you. Despite you both being on horses, the space between you both would have been considered close.

"What's so funny?"

He reaches forward and picks out a leaf that had flown into your hair, "Since when did you get so messy?" Letting the leaf fly out of his hand, he winks jokingly at you, causing you to almost fall off Blizz.

"I've always been messy," you rolled your eyes. At the sight of the town, you advanced faster, making sure that Jisung was comfortable without your guidance, "The only reason my bedroom is not cave-like is because of the caretakers."

Jisung won't say it out loud, but somehow, flaws such as this made him fall harder for you. Though you appeared to fit how princesses should be, the more he learned about you, the more he understood that you were just as human as any of those he ruled and you ruled.

"Do you want to stop by the bakery before returning to the castle?" You turned back to look at Jisung, who had chosen to fall back slightly just to catch a glimpse of you, "You can meet Mr. Yang! He'll love you!"

Jisung nodded and trailed closely behind you, ensuring that he wouldn't lose you, not that he actually would lose you. The town's buildings grew closer, the townspeople walking to and from them.

It was nice to see the attire and the architecture of those who lived in your region. Compared to Jisung's region, where people often wore sleeveless or short sleeves, the people wore longer sleeves and thin layers. Though the weather was not at all bad, he figured that they had grown used to this type of weather and generally wanted to dress warmer. The buildings were built on top of platforms that separated the actual structure from the ground, probably to avoid the permafrost during colder days.

"We're here," you turned back, noticing the awe in Jisung's expression. He shook the look off and smiled, slowing the speed of his steed just as u had, "I wonder if Jeongin is in! I've known him since I was younger."

Jisung took time to hop off his horse before dusting off his trousers to make himself look presentable. You were ensuring that the horses were tied tightly at a nearby post, waiting for Jisung to join you. Once he had done so, you both made your way into a large building, the name of the bakery on the front: Yang-Yum Bakery.

"Mr. Yang!"

"Princess! Welcome!" An older man had his head raised over the counter, a deep smile on his face, "And is this Prince Jisung?" He stood up straight and bowed, "Welcome to my bakery. Princess Y/N has told me so much about you!"

Jisung felt his ears warm up before smiling back, "Nice to meet you, too, Mr. Yang."

The baker kept the smile on his face as he moved down the counter towards his baked goods, "What would you like? It is on me today as a welcome gift to the Prince."

Jisung's eyes widened at the selection of goods, his mouth watering at how good they all looked. He could hear you thanking Mr. Yang, "Is Jeongin helping out today?"

"Unfortunately not, Princess. He's out doing errands for Mrs. Yang," Mr. Yang retorted. You nodded understandingly before turning your attention down towards the treats. You spot your favourite ones, the meringue cookies, and then the honey-bread, a close second.

"What do you want, Sung?" You questioned quietly, gesturing to Mr. Yang the two choices, "You'll probably enjoy any of them." You could see his eyes moving back and forth across the options, his lips pressed into a thin line.

"I'd like those," Jisung points towards egg tarts, "And those, please." His finger pointed towards strawberry cream croissants, a satisfied look appearing on his face.

"Coming right up," Mr. Yang smiled and prepped the baked goods for you and Jisung, tying them into a cloth bag. He pushed it towards you with a warm smile, "I hope you enjoy them all. See you, Princess. It was a pleasure to meet you, Prince Jisung." He bowed and softly waved.

You and Jisung bowed back before taking your leave. Soon you both were back outside, people still carrying out their duties. They had not noticed that you were present, which you did not really mind. It was nice not being the center of attention once in a while. And while Jisung was here, you didn't want the usual fuss that occurred when you visited the village.

Speaking too soon, a younger girl noticed your attire, immediately indicating that you were a royal. She smiled and curtsied, "Afternoon, princess."

"Afternoon," you smiled back.

At that small exchange, others followed in pursuit, also noticing the presence of the Prince next to you. And because they did recognize him, you couldn't help but take note of the fact that people were whispering, which wasn't what usually occurred when you were in town.

Upon hearing Jisung's name in their hushed remarks, your ears perked, miraculously gaining the ability to hear the words they spoke, "Isn't that the Prince of the valley? The poorer kingdom."

"Yes… you can tell just from how he's dressed."

Shaking your head, you tune out the insults being 'secretly' thrown towards Jisung, who, judging by the look on his face, could also hear them talk. It was sad how people were so quick to judge.

"This is Prince Jisung," you say confidently, "The one who I will marry in a few years' time… I ask that you respect him as much as you respect my father."

They shut their mouths, bowing to follow what you had asked of them. Jisung's gaze fell onto you, hundreds of thoughts rooted from different beliefs clashing inside his head. The people had dispersed, leaving the two of you alone.

Though you smiled at him, he couldn't help but feel bad that you had to stand up for him. Every time someone mentioned the wealth of his kingdom, he couldn't have but believed you deserved better, especially because there was a drastic difference between your family's wealth and his family's wealth.

Y/N shouldn't be going through this…

"Should we get going?" You questioned, "There are more things I want to show you." You acted so casually about such a situation that Jisung could sense that you've already been in a position. Just how many times have you stood up for him?

Though the idea should be giving him a sense of comfort, he still felt as though he should be doing something in return. Securing yourselves back on the horses, you begin making your way back to the castle. There was a short period of silence before Jisung had spoken up, "You don't need to defend me, you know. But thank you."

You glance over at him and frown, "I don't understand why they judge when they don't even know you… And as your future wife, it is my duty to defend you. Besides, if it were the other way around, you would do the same."

That night, Jisung couldn't help but let the words play over in his head. You were right. He would do the same for you, but it was because he adored you. Did this mean that you felt the same?

"Part Two"
