I'm so proud already.
Tumblr media
It has been a long time coming. I have never been this steadfast in solidarity with an artist, patient for the magic he has been WORKING SO HARD to give to me. His one fan in millions of fans.
I love him. I respect him. I wish him ALL the best this universe has to offer.
My ready to rip through my saving, for a copy of his album and merch. Sort of like deja vu with THE WAR album era, when I first fell for the boys, because of this hyung.
Congratulation Xiumin hyung!

Featuring: Minseok x Reader
EXO Ensemble
Your family has worked as the mafia group go-to financial advisors and consultants. When a hit is sent out, by a rogue mafia group, your entire family s wiped out. You are left with only your brother. The EXO take you under their protection, regardless of your protests to want to leave the mafia world behind, along with your troubled memories.
Warning: Blood and Injury
________________________________________
You smell lavenders, and you know there's a bunch of those fresh flowers, somewhere in the room. Kai and Kyungsoo.
During your sleep, you were abruptly drifted back聽 to consciousness when your hooded eyes made sight of the two brothers at the foot of your bed. Both huddled into each other's shoulders. One of them softly sobs while the other murmurs some inaudible words to the other.
"Not again... not so soon."
"She's strong... she'll fight her way back to us-"
But both looked and sounded rather upset with you. The ventilation pipe's discomfort pulls you back into unconsciousness.
When you drift awake again, it's to the familiar face of your doctor, back when you were Europe.
"D- Doc... Zh- Zhang?" You try to say through the oxygen mask, you now wore. Thank goodness, the horrible pipe down your throat is gone. Although the feeding tube was the lesser of the evils.
The dimpled, soft face looks up from flushing your drip and changing out the empty blood bag for a full one.
'Blood... no... too much of it... on that night... on my dress... arm and leg... the side of my face.'聽 Your mind races.
"Easy, sweetheart. You need to slow down your thoughts and calm your racing heart." The doctor coos. His hands flying over the beeping machines, while monitoring your radial pulse on your trembling arm.
'My hair slick with blood splatters... Appa!... more blood splatters... more brain matter this time... Mama!...'
"Myeon hyung, get the boys in here to suppress or haul out Minseok hyung. I can't get her to calm down if she sees him in that state."
I'm sorry I got hurt on your watch, Minseok. You hope to convey to your bodyguard, as soon as you can speak your lengthy apology.
The doctor leans in, to have his entire frame within all my view of the room. A calm stare down.
So does your heart rate, feels the effects of the gaze, apparently. Despite the scuffle in background.
Your head finally seems to clear and pinned firm on your neck. Not just your head, but your body, was not as weighted as it felt, the other few times you had jostled awake.
*
You can't however fight the urge, when you bolt upright and shoot out of your bed, to the nearest door you find. Not without causing a commotion and mess around your bed.
"YN... YN! GET UP AND RUN!"
Your brother's voice screams at your muddled brain.
A phantom ache at the back of your head, makes you wince, while crawling and stumbling to your feet.
Your legs nearly fail you, but your will to set off and run is spurred on. Three or four paces on, you are jerked back, with a clatter behind you. You ignore the noise that sets off a colourful series of curses, from a figure you did not see.
You yank your arm, hard, to your chest and tubes rip out of your arm to saline and blood splatters on the sheets, machines and floor.
'Blood on the floor again...' your chest constrict in sheer horror.
"Fuck... damnit... what the fuck-" A man runs across the room. First you panic, not recognising him through your blind panic and dark spots clouding your vision.
"YN, you'll further injure yourself..." The bright voice cut through the fog of anxiety. He leaps over the bed, and he too slips over the mess you had just made.
Your bodyguard.
Minseok!
Your heart leaps and its rate beats faster, if that could be possible without encouraging an arrhythmia.
"YN, you lost a lot of blood. You're probably lighthead-" he all but collides with you, turning you away from the bloody mess.
Your legs gave way from under you, triggering your own collapse to the whirlwind of emotions going through a series of rollercoasters in your head.
"Fuck..." Minseok's vocabulary continues to be just as colourful as you remember when you were on the floor, in the stairwell, begging your eyes not to close and the your bodyguard made it beyond the muscled goons of Taemin and Key.
"I'm o-okay." You mumble.
"Like fuck you are!" He whisper-shouts, his eye roaming over your body, doing his check, while you pant in his arms trying to catch your breath.
You sit there in silence, off to his side, while he cradles your shoulders and head to his chest. Your arm, where the IV lines ripped from, trickled blood that soaked your top. It stung too, but your hands also clung to Minseok's shirt, memories rushing through you.
All that you know, and had come to know moments before that bullets ripped through your stomach. Then Taemin reminding you to choose wisely like how you had not, in the past.
Now your family is gone, because of your choice then.
Yunho, was threatened because of your choice now.
The man holding you, startles when you suddenly kick and thrash, shouting incoherently, in tears that had been running down your face the moment you woke up.
"I refused their proposal to their nephew, then they killed my family!" To thrash and claw at the front of Minseok's jacket, "I remember that much!"
The shirt stains with blotches of your blood as you weakly try to wrestle the arms surrounding you. Refusing to let you go.
"I came back... refused their accounts and they may have hurt Yunho hyung, too." Your wails climb higher and more raw, the longer you kick and thrash on the floor.
You vaguely realise that the substance that you're slipping and sliding on is your own blood.
All Minseok does is cling onto you, and that makes you want to cry harder, and fight harder away from him. Against him. Although your hands dig into his soaked shirt and scrape at the flesh under the material.
"What will happen next, Minseok hyung? What will happen next, when I say 'No' to the men in this world?"
"Some.... something tells me, YN you will know. You will remember what to do." The man's voice rasps out.
Drained of your cries, what was left were the small wounded whimpers.
A door opens, above your head, and you're too weak to give it physical attention, but Minseok does. He lets go of your head he cradled and your head surprises both him, and the upside down figures you make out standing by the door, when it falls back.
Suho and Chanyeol look horrified? Worried? Disturbed? Your blurry eyes can't make out properly, when Minseok gently but firmly shoos them out, to come back later.
Clearly the doctor had disappeared again. Or was a figment of your delirious state of wellbeing before. Just like old times in hospital.
"You will know just what you need to do next, so you can get ahead," he murmurs very low over your head, "and when that time comes, EXO and I will be there, ready to help you with whatever you need."
Then his eyes finally leave your face, to nuzzle the top, he does not react to what you can both feel and now smell, pungent in the room.
You were bleeding out, profusely and cannot be ignored.
"Aish... YN.聽 You ripped your stitching and made worse your injury site." You are gently shifted away from the warm chest, in your full daze.
He mutters about how the doctor has already left, and this happens.
Blurrily you make out the large red stain on his denim pants and the pajamas you were wearing.
Not a care of what happened next.
"Mmm..." You hum noncommittally, and pass, out?

Your family has worked as the mafia group go-to financial advisors and consultants. When a hit is sent out, by a rogue mafia group, your entire family s wiped out. You are left with only your brother. The EXO take you under their protection, regardless of your protests to want to leave the mafia world behind, along with your troubled memories.
Warning: More blood, Injury.
_____________________________________________
Suho's scolding words stay with you for days, but you were still unable to swipe right, to receive your brother's phone calls. At first, when you had returned, and days after your heated return and exchange, he had been calling excessively for hours at a time. Each call 'missed' or the phone turned off when you were busy with work.
As weeks continued the repeated calls still came, but fewer and far spread, each day. Then recently, you could not make sense of the Wills sent to your office, of your parents, family members and his own updated copy, to let you know of all they have left behind. Of what he intended to leave behind for you.
You will not pretend to act as though Yunho's Will, had not let your stomach drop, but you had no one to share your worries with. Not even Suho or, perhaps Kyungsoo-hyung since they were always out of the house and recently, traveling out the country more frequently. Where to and the length of periods, were never shared with you, although you never asked. Only when you heard their car drive past your window, would you know of their safe return.
Now seated outside, in the central area of the business complex, the office public moved out and about around you. Your coat blazer was stifling in the warm weather compared to the chilling air con in the office.
Minseok was somewhere, but nowhere in your sight. You know, where ever he stood to watch over you, was seething in anger, that you left your building without letting him know. Without his approach, you know he understood that you needed fresh air, although you could have called or shot a text at him for courtesy's sake.
You visibly shrug, with your blank phone, as silent as the past four days. Your brother has not called since then. Apart from Suho's texts checking up on you, Minseok's timely calls at the end of your day to tell you to leave the office, your brother was the only one who called your personal phone.
"What are you up to now, hyung? What is happening Yunho? Have you chosen to ignore me once more, because I have been ignoring you?" A heavy sigh escapes your lips, just as Minseok appears infront of you, with mildly concealed glower, that you spot behind his calm exterior.
"Minseok, I..." you start but you're cut off, with a harsh grab under your arm, stumbling you to your feet.
"Get back to your building and Sehun can keep an eye, so I can clean up, after you." He bit out, close to your ear and shoves you to start moving.
Your confused look is dismissed with his growl, for you to comply without question. That tells you to shut your mouth and do as he says. Your own panic climbs, when you throw your eyes all around you, to spot the danger you know you're in.
You have only returned for a measly four weeks, but you're already in danger of losing your life.
Staggering and nearly stumbling, you throw your eyes ahead, to the building almost a hundred metres ahead of you. However that will be just too much smooth sailing, in your dangerous world. There are busy bodies, nudging and bumping shoulders as the rushing crowd in the complex moves from and to their desired destinations.
A memory flings itself into your consciousness, grinding you to breathless halt. Shock leaves you unseeing and winded in the moving crowd. Tears sting your eyes and your heart aches at the fear in the voices you remember.
"Hyung, why are they attacking? Why are they being killed?" Your horror grows the longer you stand by the window, knuckles turning white on the clutched curtains, while your frame shook and shivered as you watched your family's most valued, trusted and fond men and women drop like flies in the dark gardens. Those people have been in your life, since forever.
"Son, get your sister and do all you can to protect her!" Your father's voice wrenches your eyes from the outside massacre, to a glimpse of your parents rushing up and down the stairs with heaps of files in their arms.
"YN, get back!" It's your brother's commands that pull you back to your rooted spot.
You spot the armed figure standing outside your window, with a gun poised in his hands, directly aimed at you. The gun, uselessly, fitted with a suppressor, when the once quiet night was roaring with gunfire, barked orders and cries of dying men and women.
Who has your family wronged in recent months, for them to stage an attack of this nature?
"Keys... hyung, he betrayed the Kim cla-" your stunned murmurs are hung in the air when your brother's solid, towering frame barrels into you.
You were a road-crossing away from your building. Halted in your stumbling flee for safety, a car makes a dead stop in front of you. You are given no time to understand just what is happening.
A suppressor sticks out of the heavily dimmed out windows, rolled down just enough.
A glance down to your bodyguard's direction, he's too distracted by his own fight to notice where you stood and what exactly stood in front of you.
You feel by your body being, twice, jolted back a step and the immediate burn in your belly and the warm splatters on your chest and neck. You have been struck, as the tires screech away.
Blood... not so much blood, again.
Flung by impact, your body slides on the floor, to come to a halt with your head hitting the marble vase stand, the said vase shattering down on your brother's back. Your head and ears scream, when bullets shatter the glass you had stood in front of seconds ago.
"Not only Keys... He never works alone, sister." Your brother was covering your frame on the floor, his gun knocked out of his hand during the fall.
Next you remember is yourself kneeling on the floor, arms tightly bound to your back and a tickling trickle of blood down your neck.
Lee SooMan and Taemin stood there.
Again, here stands in frint of you, Lee Taemin. Nephew to the notorious Lee SooMan, and heir to the Lee mafia family's wealth and territories. One of your family's oldest clients and somewhat rival, in various aspects of business and shady dealings. The same man you refused to be promised to marry, and probably the reason why your own family was attacked and killed.
No. I fucked up. I was the one in the wrong. I have wronged the Lee family, and now my family was to pay the price. Your whole body trembled, too stunned into silence above your parents' pleas.
"YN... move it!" You hear from the distance.
Your blouse that once caught the gentlest of breeze that day, now clung for dear life over the growing wet spot around your abdomen.
"Ah, there you are... alive... Or barely so, and kicking?" You can't help the frozen stupor, when you look up to the slim frame of the man in front of you.
"Uhm... T- Tae?..."
"Ah..." The man nods with a lazy drawl, completely impervious to the tension and your growing urgency for help, "back to your stutters, little one. With an interesting choice in your new bodyguard... or is it that much of a surprise?" He shrugs.
"He- help... need help..." You try to hunch over into yourself to catch your breaths but the man's hand on your shoulder makes sure that does not happen.
"Uncle had asked politely that you take the family's accounts..." He moves closer, with his mouth close to your ear, his other hand on your wound. A thumb digs in, eliciting a shout of pain and beads of sweat racing down your face. On instinct, your hands clung to the man's arms to keep yourself upright, "but now that I have had to come, personally to make sure that I convince you otherwise... again. You better think wisely this time around YN, about your choice because your Yunho may not be as lucky this time around."
The thumb, digs further into the wound and your shaking hand makes a weak attempt to push the hand away. Biting your trembling lip, you also make a shaky effort to push away to see where Minseok was?
Taemin encircled his arm around your waist and the public are none the wiser of your interaction.
"Look... look over my shoulder, little one." You're聽 shorter than the man holding you captive on the spot. But you try to look nonetheless around his shoulder. You spot Taemin's childhood best friend and now right-hand man you see. A distant cousin of the Kim hyungs and traitor to the entire Kim clan. "I would hate to send Keys, who only this time, hopes not to make the same mistake to miss his shot again."
"Yu-Yunho..." you stutter.
"No, little one. Right now it about our small walk down memory lane. And I remind you to make the best choice for the sake of your sole remaining family, YN."
Like that, you're pushed away and nearly lose your feet from under you. Right now you're not sure whether your bodyguard knows of your injury, or the other men will know about this already.
"Are you okay, ma'am?" A passing body, nearly collides with you and you murmur your apologies, pulling your blazer tighter around you, your fingers staining the delicate pastel colour.
Your shaking hand pulls out your keycard, entering your building. Security too distracted with the visiting individuals than to look up at the executive personnel entrance you always use to enter the building.
The lifts are too far, when you look down to the dripping blood on the highly polished marble floors.
"Sehun..." You mumble, looking up to try and locate the closest surveillance camera, then turn left in the direction of the door leading to the fire escape聽 staircase.
"Please see me..." again, your card let's you through without raising the alarm, "F-Find me... Min."
The stairs to the underground parking lot, where your bodyguard always parks, is too far.
Your knees wobble and finally give way to your subconscious swallowing you back into the nothingness, you were familiar companions with.
Your breaths were not only shallow, but they stuttered with lathergy unlike that linked you to your nightmares. This tiredness was directly linked to the one of that night, tinged with a sense of giving into the pain to fully consume you.
"Sehun, where the fuck is she?" You hear your bodyguard's frantic shouts from the other side of the door. Your head screams that he's close, don't close your eyes just yet. Keep fighting, a defiant voice at war with your subconscious, bellows at you.
"So tired..." you mumble stealing a look at the dark blood seeping through your trembling fingers, hearing the door finally click.
It bursts open, with it bringing a small gush of wind, and the hurried footsteps. You hang your head back, and see the gruesome smear of your blood against the wall that you had slid down from. Your eyes droop, near to a shut.
"No! Keep your eyes open! I'm here, stay with me." For the very first time, you hear your bodyguard's composure obliterate in your presence.
You listen to the raw emotions you have come to associate with your own grief and pain.
From the depths of your inner chaos and turmoil, and the pain ringing loud and obnoxious through your body, you hear your bodyguard.
Perhaps the slaps, and harsh shove of your hand to be replaced by a heavy press over you wound, were imagined.
*
Blinking once.
You hear the engine roaring, and frantic shouts and arguing, for the car to be driven faster, or the traffic is in the way. Was that Chen sounding concerned? Oh gods, not Kai hyung. He is the last person you would want to see you like this. He's too precious to see you like that.
Gods, not Kyungsoo hyung too.
There is a heaviness on your belly along with a burning sensation that leaves you gasping in pain.
There is a familiar person straddling your prone position. You're lying on what looks to be the backseat. The jostling car movements, force out moans and shudders of anguish from your barely conscious state.
Blinking twice.
A very tall frame is cradling you, and running up the stairs.
Is it Chanyeol or Sehun?
Gods, I still hope it's not Kai.
The glare irritates your eyes, so you can't see the owner of the voices barking orders to the side of your head.
'I smell too much blood...' this time you're too tired to make a sound of protest at the pain of being moved around.
Okay now I'm tired.
I can't stay.
I really, really can't stay, Minseok.

Minseok is always there, despite it all.
_____________________________________________
[06:25]
'Permission to use the family's private jet?'
The text came through, puzzling you.
Was this Yunho rouse to stoke a conversation or a reaction from you? He had been using all your family's resources and assets without your permission in the past five years. As far as you were concerned, all his overseas trips, be it business or personally related, he used the aircraft that your parents used when they had purchased it around the time close to their deaths.
You had vehemently declined it's use, when you had flown in, and he had given little push against your choice, afraid that you would entirely cancel your return.
[08:47]
'Granted'
You texted back, and darkened the screen once more to return to your pile of files and fully booked schedule for the day.
[08:56]
'Thank you, little Sister... So how are you?'
[10:09]
'Can I take you out for dinner, tonight for a proper sit down?'
[12:27]
'Perhaps a small chat over coffee, during your lunch break?'
There, he's proven your thoughts true. You leave the popped-up message notification as is.
All the work you had been doing during your time before your official start, seemed to have been a joke, compared to the demands of paperwork, meetings with the company's executives, board and the actual boss. It would seem your arrival in the company, had set off quite a buzz even in the normal world.
Some remembered your father's reputation while your brother has built a reputation of his own, that has come to you with your bosses request to take on certain accounts and contacts that wish to be under your careful eye.
You continue ignoring the buzzing phone, as you push through the latter part of your day. Vaguely you feel your muscles scream to be let loose for the day. You admit, since seeing the first message from your brother that morning, you have been tightly wound, so has ypur stomach been in too many knots to push down the lunch pack Kyungsoo-Hyung had made for you.
"YN-ssi, I hope you have finally settled amidst the whirlwind you have created in the finance and commerce world." Your boss peeped through, and his deceptively light voice carried down the large office to your desk.
"I apologise for all the inconviences and trouble I have caused for you and company, with my presence." You shoot from seat, to acknowledge the man.
True to being an instant asset for his firm. But the man had instantly resented you, the moment he laid his cold, beady eyes on your first day.
He was part of the old-fashioned crowd, of not taking too kindly to a woman or younger person, stealing the shine and intellect from his direction.
"No, no... this is all good for business, so there no complaints there." You were waiting for the man's act of light air and familiarity to drop, because you were not buying any of it.
"Then I thank you once more for your welcome into your work family." You bow, low returning to your seat.
The man enters and seats himself across from you, waving off your words. You silently watch him, fidget then rises minutes later, clearly stifled by your comfortability with the awkwardness. He stands next to you, with his rest against the desk. You keep his gaze, through all his movements, curious, if nothing else, at the older man's action and wonder at his coming words.
"There are a few accounts from a particular, long standing and highly valued client that has insisted your expertise from here on." You nearly sigh your exasperation. Now your superior has brought in the big guns, or the big gun could not sit back, idly, to take anymore rejection.
Since you had arrived, there had been an old and established client that has head hunted your services, relentlessly. You have instantly declined, at first siting that your were too much of a newcomer for such a heavyweight. Then your gut feeling kicked in, upon glancing over the numbers, to flatbout decline. You saw the number patterns your father taught you from you pre-teen years and you were steering very clear from the account.
"When the pattern looks freaky, that means it's owner is just as much of a freak... A dangerous, underworld freak." Your younger voice giggles at your father's voice's choice of words.
"I'm serious, baby. Listen to your father, when he warns you against the freaks of this world." The voice grows sterner and firm, but some of the words are just as soft as the bond between the two individuals.
"Uhm I don't understand. Aren't older and more valued accounts?" You feign perplexion. You knew senior partners and executive took on the most classified and long standing clients of the company.
Although highly qualified for your age and vastly experienced with high profiled clients, mainly European celebrities or elusive billionaires, you just a junior partner in this company. A unique feat on its own, to be into a partner position, out trumping those that have grown in the company.
Did you mention that not many liked, the moment you had set foot out of the elevators on your first day, because of that fact.
"That was my argument with the said client, but he insists on you, nonetheless." His nonchalant shrug failed to mask his annoyance on the matter. Being stripped of a lucrative account, and shove upon a newbie, no matter the prodigal rumours and generational financial consultancy services under your name, left the man sour.
"And, who might this account belong to?" You had refused to read the file cover before diving to evaluate the numbers.
"The Lee family."
Dread curtailed through your system, catapulting your heart rate into overdrive. Your mouth became suddenly dry and the air down your windpipe seemed to stick to your lungs. The loose satin shirt and palazzo pants felt suffocating on your pores, but none of your horror and discomfort showed.
Your mother taught you that much, too in the face fiend, foes and general discomfort.
"Stay cooler than your opposition, always. Especially as a woman born or married into this world, because something tells me you will be both that kind of woman in future." Your mother's confident voice beams in your memories.
Your boss nor the name uttered to you, will not affect you in any way. Well, not on your icy calm exterior.
With work, you always had ice in your veins.
"I will consider it." You conclude, with a push of your chair and rise to level your eyes to him, showing him that the conversation is finished and you wish to leave without further push on the matter.
Your boss sets his jaw while you square your shoulders. All panic, anxiety and personal grief is non existent when you step into your work mode. And right now, you were in full gear, and your boss shall understand you were never a push over in your professional elements.
The glaring match is torn to shreds, with a knock on the door. Minseok stood, glowering over the threshold. You were not sure whether the look was at the man with his face close to your own, stony face or his next words, said it all.
"Ma'am, it's the end of day. You were not answering your phone. It's time we went home."
As far as the office understood, Minseok was your personal driver and security, as a precaution for all the lucrative client you had from your previous job.
Before you could answer that you left your phone on Silent. Your packed belongings sat on the couch near the door, where Minseok was closest.
Your boss was the first to react to your bodyguard's icy words.
"She will be putting in a few hours more, in light of her new accounts acquisition." He bites out, eyes never leaving your own.
"I worked through my breaks, and it is end of day, so I will follow my bodyguard's suggestions and leave..." You make purpose to glance at you Rolex wrist watch, a parting gift from your previous firm, it was 17:55pm, "for home at exactly 17:59pm."
"I am the boss, and I have told you otherwise."
You feel Minseok, take a small step into the office, which you halt with your jerked turn around. You follow the authoritative man, walking back to his seat and dropping into it with a challenging glare back to you.
"And I told you I will take the accounts under consideration, boss... in the comfort of my home office, for the rest of my night." You fire back, with deadly calm voice, "We're done here. Take care."
You turned tail and strode towards Minseok, but the said man had his eyes over your shoulder. He looked to remain rigid, even when you come to stand at his side. Your light touch to his forearm, seemed to snap him out of his dark aura, and you were uninterested to look back at how affected the man behind you, was.
Trust your bodyguard's hard looks to unnerve any person who gets on his wrong side. That you have come to know, with your colleagues' interactions with you in the office.
"Home, Minseok... let's go, home. The men are waiting for us." You murmur聽 breaking his murderous glare over your shoulder.
"Mmm, Suho may be back tonight, so D.O will make it a special night of food." The bodyguard concede to your touch and turns to usher you out.
*
True to his musings, the other bodyguard had gone full out with the pasta dishes and sides for everyone in the house.
The men were in a contented murmur, throughout the evening, while you actively allowed your fork through your sphaghetti and meatballs. Just like how you had it during your university days in Italy.
All conversation centered around you, as everyone at the table made sure to murmur low enough that you not hear. Chen and Baekhyun, made sure to let you know that their looks meant you deliberately not invited anything they had to share with the others.
Kyungsoo聽and Kai had their own low discussion about a serious matter, seeing how furrowed their brows were. Probably Kai filling his hyung in on what happened in his absence. As usual. Sehun and Chanyeol waffles down theirs and some of the others' side dishes, all while keeping a distracted ear on their hyungs conversations, closest to them.
Minseok and Suho, however shared a very deep and immersive conversation. Suho's eyes glancing up you from time to time, while nursing a glass of red wine and nodding to his older brother's word near his ear.
Minseok leaned back from his brother's ear, but continued his low words, with his eyes pinned at you. You on the other side of the table, had too abandoned any notion of stealing glances at them.
He tipped a glass of his cognac in your direction, as you rose from your seat. The day's events catching with your wretched sleeping patterns, and you finally answer to your muscles' screams for rest.
D.O waves away your movement to gather your dishes, with a light pat on you back and shake of the head. You nod and bow to leave the table.
Closing the French doors, another door, down the side of the house opens, and out steps the leader of the men seated around the table you just vacated, to some, alcohol buzzed acknowledgement.
The leader walks down to where his charisma and charm has pinned you to the spot.
He awkwardly scratched at his upper lip, before fully turning to you, with a clouded expression and tilt of his head. He looked to be weighing his words, that's if he has decided to say anything or abandon all notion, entirely.
"Give your brother a chance to explain... to set things right between the two of you..." He utters words, you can hear, were a challenge to find and word aloud.
"I have nothing to say to Yunho." You flatly cut through.
"And you were not the only one who lost their entire family... special loved ones that night." He quietly fires back, tilting his nearly empty wine glass at your stunned stance.
With that finality in his firm and cutting scolding, he walked away to his own patrol of his grounds, like every night on his returns from lengthy business trips. He leaves you dumbfound and blinking at his direction.
[20:47pm]

A Tiger's Honour, A Magpie's Duty
Tumblr media
By: XiuChen4Ever
One of my favourite ships, written from the stars. My Royal AU for the ages. Well who doesn't like this AU, as Minseok our lead and just King.
Ship: XiuChen, side ChanSoo
My take: Minseok as King, has lost his Queen & wife during the birth of their twins. Jongdae is the lte Queen's younger brother. He volunteers himself as the King's new 'Queen & wife' to keep the alliance between two kingdoms, strong as ever. Together they navigate their extraordinary marriage and parenthood to the babies. Never have I face palmed so much, at the pair's miscommunication and misunderstanding.
My reaction: Jongdae's insurmountable regard for duty. Minseok's noble and honourable nature, is so wholesome to read through all 100pages.

Forever in My Bloom
Tumblr media
By: kyoongs
I didn't know what to expect, but I was a little apprehensive of any Kai pair, either than the classic KaiSoo. A second entrant of my top 5 Hanahaki fic
Ship: XiuKai, side SuBaek.
My take: Minseok and Jongin will never meet their soulmates, they line so much for. Until the pair meet, the hanahaki rollercoast begins.
My reaction: truly, pleasantly surprised. I love Nini's maturity and composure in this fic. Truly suited for a Minseok, on any day.

Friends Can Break Your Heart Too.
Tumblr media
By: melodyoficeandfire
Was never ready for such a CBX inspired friendship and hanahaki disease fic.
Ship: ChenBaek then ChenMin.
My take: Minseok is timid, and so Beak get ahead of him to Dae. Years on and life has happened. Minseok finally has his moment and Jongdae is as clear headed as ever to receive Minseok.
My reaction: Oh, Minseok hyung. Oh Jongdae hyung. The first hanahaki fix, I have been so engrossed in. Definitely in my top 5.

Strictly Doting and Loyal or Loving?
Tumblr media
By: AutumnWinter14
The sequel to Strictly Doting. This time through the eyes of Sehun, looking in on Minseok's upturned life.
Ship: XiuHun?, side DaeXing, ChanBaek and KaiSoo.
My take: Sehun comes back to his friends, and their friend circle is nearly shattered at the sudden loss. All the hyungs look to Sehun to help Minseok to get through both of their grief.
My reaction: Fuck, Sehun is damn strong and resilient. Seeing glimpses of an emotionally vulnerable and fragile Minseok, was affecting and endearing to have their story unfold.

Minnie hiatus explained
Tumblr media
Amongst other life-things and happenings. I took some time away from I, for me... to indulge myself and my imagination.
I went on to discover and read, so much fan fic by you fellow writers and authors, that I have been too engrossed to let go for a while.
Will you allow me to share some of the works that have gripped my soul? Pretty please? Will you? Thanks a mill, in advance!
I have utterly wept, wailed, soaked, smiled, laughed, cooed, inwardly screamed, screeched, blushed, angered, frustrated, wide-eyed, scandalized, most of all been sensually awoken and so much more. You best believe.
I took this time to absorb all of me, away from my own work, and fully immerse my senses honed by my literary loves.
Fellow author-nims...
You are passionate
You are talented
You are beautiful
You are sweet
You are fluffy
You are kinky, af
You are bold
You are brave
You are magical
You are diverse
You are spirited
You are out of this world... perhaps, the universe too
You are strength
You are power
You are perfectly flawed
You are humble
You are graceful
You are open-minded
You are everything, beyond my vocabulary because
You simply are!
(Simmilar to how Minseok hyung is, in my eyes)
And I love you all for it.
'Ah-huh' Moment: I thank every day of my life, that I can read and write, when there are people in this day and my age or older, that can't write or read their own names, whichever the language.
Thank you all for your words and stories for keeping me company, frustrated and whiny (at the cliffhanger endings or series), ofcourse I'm guilty of too. I love you, nonetheless.
