i am always ready and willing to rag on orv character designs (i love them all so much and think the artists are incredibly talented. why does yoo jonghyuk have a titty belt) but one thing i love so much is yoo jonghyuk having a priests collar. its a part of character design that makes you go 'lmao thats so weird why did they draw him like that. rule of cool i guess' and then you reach the end of the novel and realise all this time yoo jonghyuk has been servant of the most powerful being in all existence and he has to go on a pilgrimage to spread the word of the author of existence to all other universes. and its like. oh. no he is literally a priest. holy shit. incredible character designactually. we knew his role from the beginning.

hi, I saw that you came back and if you don’t mind, I also want to ask you to write a one shot with seong taehoon x reader where the reader admits to her boyfriend that her stepfather (maybe someone else, it’s not so important) sexually harassed her and maybe tried to go further (if you know what I mean), how he would behave (this is a pretty tough request, so if it’s too much and you want to write it, then everything is okay)
⩇:⩇⩇ — finding out
⤿synopsys﹕ seong taehoon finding out that his lover's stepfather sexually harassed them and even tried to go further.
⤿character﹕ seong taehoon x gn!reader
⤿genre﹕ hurt/comfort(?), angst-ish
⤿warnings﹕ lower case, tons of cursing, upsetting themes/topics, mentions of sexual harassment and neglectful parenting, reader's got a bad relationship with their family, used the word “manipulated” once at the end but not really in a bad way?(pls inform me if I forgot something)
⤿note﹕ hello, I'm back! (again) I'm sorry this took so long. I honestly didn't know how to write this. I wrote a fanfic format but I can't seem to write it so I changed to this hc type of writing instead. I find this quite hard to write but I managed to finish it. kinda rushed. not proofread.
Tumblr media
→ you were staying at his place for quite some time now.
→ before, you'd only come crashing by every once in awhile, but lately, you have been staying the night, and would often hangout all day at his place recently.
→ he knows that you didn't really have a good relationship with your mom and step-father, but never asked why. taehoon thinks that he should wait for you to open up instead of trying to force you to because he didn't want to push you away and possibly make you close yourself off even further.
→ ever since he learnt that your family situation isn't the best, he started being nicer to you compared to before, although he was still the same teasing and condescending jerk, he held back from bullying his sweet little lover.
→ just like the past few weeks, you're currently laying beside him on his bed, soundlessly asleep in his arms. taehoon was nearly about to doze off, when all of a sudden, he heard you whimper in your sleep, sounding like you were in pain.
→ taehoon froze, observing you for a moment just in case he was only hearing things, but you did it again, this time, with a sniffle following it.
→ he immediately pulled you closer against his chest and began whispering comforting words by your ear, accompanied by soft pecks on your head and temple.
“It's okay, you're safe. I'm right here.”
→ once you calm down, he sighs and starts caressing your upper arm, rubbing soothing circles on your skin.
→ when you woke up and finally registered that you were safely tucked in his warm embrace, you couldn't help but begin to cry, letting out all your pent up emotions.
→ he didn't say anything besides the occasional sweet words he'd whisper against your hair as he hugs you tighter than ever.
→ it lasted for a while. your cries and sniffling were the only sounds resonating within his quiet bedroom.
→ when you calm down, you apologize for crying to him, but he just pinches your cheek gently, telling you not to worry about it.
→ the moment you feel your chest lighten a bit and his warmth, you slowly spoke up, finally letting it all out in the open for him to hear. you told taehoon about how shitty your stepfather is, how terrible and vile that man is to the point that he didn't even deserve to be called human.
→ you basically poured all the things you've been bearing alone, telling your boyfriend about how your stepfather tried to force you into things you didn't want, things that made your skin crawl and your stomach to crunch in pure disgust.
→ and let me tell you, the moment you told him about the horrible and disgusting things that bastard did and tried doing to you, he only saw red, his mind going blank, only thinking of different ways to make that shitty asshole pay for what he made you go through.
→ of course he held back, at least, for the time being, only listening to your words and letting you open up to him while holding you protectively. all the stories you were telling him made his blood boil. he just wanted to beat the living daylights out of that stupid stepfather of yours.
→ the moment you're done, he comforts you for the rest of the night while simultaneously trying to calm himself down.
→ be ready for what comes next after he finally found out about what you've experienced. he will, without hesitation, march into your house and beat the shit out of your father.
→ one day, you'll just find out from your mother that apparently, a "burglar" had broken into the house and your stepfather was "unfortunately" the only one home and got beaten up when this person had caught sight of him and decided that he should be threatened to keep shut about what happened.
→ you had an inkling feeling that this mystery person was somehow linked with your lover, but when you went to ask, subtly of course, he seemed to have not known anything so you just dropped it. (of course taehoon was only acting innocent from all of it, thinking that it would be better for you not to know.)
→ it was also safe to say that you have been practically adopted by his father and now, you were going to start living with the seong family, no buts, no excuses. that decision is final and already set.
→ hansoo considers you as his child now, even if you and taehoon are not married yet, he says that it'll happen someday anyway so it was no problem having you live with them.
→ when you stopped rejecting the offer and began living with them, finally, taehoon would sneakily manipulate you into cutting off ties with your shitty stepfather and your neglectful mother without you realising it. he may or may have not also threatened them into not contacting you ever again.
→ not to mention that if he was soft with you before, he became even more so now. He would still tease you but he stopped throwing rude remarks. he started showing you more that he does care and how he loves you. even if he found it quite embarrassing, he'll gladly say “I love you” more frequently if it makes you happy <3

how does one read orv and just move on? how do you read the reader's story and not gaze at the night sky just looking for him? searching for at least a part of him in everybody you walk by, hoping that someone from them has at least a percent of him.. just like how you carry a portion of his story— dreaming, wishing, praying that you're both dreaming the same dream,
the reader finally being in the happy ending.

You went home late at night feeling exhausted after having just come from the library, studying for the upcoming exams.
As you were taking off your shoes a yawn escapes past your lips as tears formed in the corners of your eyes. You went upstairs and opened your bedroom door.
Ignoring your question he asks, "Where are you going?" His voice sounded raspy and deeper than usual, a result of him just waking up. He opened his eyes and peered at you, his lips forming into a small frown.
A smile graced your lips as you found Johan laying down on your bed all curled up under the covers whilst hugging one of your pillows close to his chest. You went closer to the bed and sat quietly on the soft mattress. You gently stroked his hair and kissed him on the crown of his head.
You were about to stand up to go downstairs when a large hand grabbed the hem of your shirt, making you look back to see Johan with his eyes still closed,
"Oh, sorry. Did I wake you up?"
"Just downstairs. I'm gonna get all cleaned up." You answered his question, smiling down at him, finding him rather adorable with his half-conscious state and sleepy face.
He tugged you closer to where he was, muttering softly as his grip tightened around your clothes, "Stay here."
You removed his grip from your shirt, chuckling at his behaviour. Walking towards your closet to get some clothes to change in, you glanced back at him before speaking,
"I need to clean up first." You said, voice firm yet gentle to the ears. You then closed the closet once you had grabbed your pyjamas that were covered with small puppy prints, ready for the night.
"Then I'm going with you." He said and started to get up from the bed. You faced him with a deadpanned expression, finding his words ridiculous, "Johan."
He stopped moving and looked up, tilting his head to the side in confusion, gaze turning towards you as you called his name in a flat tone.
"No."
"Why?" He asked innocently, making him look rather adorable as he stared at you with his wide doe eyes while sitting on the bed, hair all messy and shirt crumpled, a result of his nap.
"I'm going to the bathroom."
"So?" He still sounded confused which made you sigh,
"Johan, you... You just can't okay?" A frown made its way on to his face. He was about to say something to probably try and reason with you, but you beat him to it.
"Don't worry, I'll be back later. We can cuddle by then. Give me around... 15 minutes. Please wait for a bit."
Johan stared at you for a moment like he was contemplating what to say. Not long after, a soft sigh escaped his lips, nodding his head, letting you go and do your night routine.
"Okay, be back after 15 minutes. If it's past it and you haven't come back, I'll break the door."
You playfully raised your hand and gave him a salute, "Yes sir!"
Marching towards the door while holding your clothes, you left the room. The brunette watched your marching figure disappear when you closed the door behind you, a smile unknowingly makes its way to his lips.
...
Your 15 minutes were up and Johan stood up from the bed (he definitely didn't count the time), ready to barge in the bathroom downstairs and demand your attention but he stopped on his tracks before he can even take a step when he heard the doorknob turning, showing your figure as you entered the bedroom door.
"I'm back!" You exclaimed, walking up towards him with your arms outstretched as you embraced him in a hug which he didn't hesitate to return.
The two of you stayed like that for a while until you started to doze off, safely tucked in his arms. Johan noticed this and held your waist so you won't fall down the floor.
"Let's go get you to sleep."
You nodded your head and followed him as he led you to the bed. He climbed beside you and raised the covers for you to scoot inside. You smiled with half-lidded eyes and crawled under the blanket with him.
He immediately hugged you when you were finally settled comfortably beside him. You didn't mind the hug, and rather enjoying it a lot. You were trying not to fall asleep, moving around to find the best position to sleep in.
Once you did, you returned his hug and pecked his nose,
"I love you." You mumbled in a tired voice and buried your head against his neck, slowly falling into a deep slumber.
As you were fast asleep, he played with your hair for a while and occasionally gave your forehead sweet little kisses.
At that moment, Johan realized how much he truly adores you, thinking about how lucky he is to be the one whom you have ve chosen to be with for the rest of your life.
He sighs softly, smiling as he stares down at your sleeping face with the most lovestruck and goofy expression. Johan couldn't help but whisper to you, despite the fact that you're already knocked out cold from exhaustion,
"I love you."

Hi, I really like your work, If possible could you please write a one shot with Taehoon from biral hit and his s/o where his father caught them kissing and what his reaction would be, how he will behave, if not then everything is fine
⩇:⩇⩇ — kiss it better
⤿synopsys﹕ seong taehoon is the type of person who most people classify as "cool". so it was rather unexpected yet somewhat hilarious to find out from his father that he used to be such a clumsy and dumb kid. which he still is.
⤿character﹕ seong taehoon x gn!reader
⤿genre﹕ fluff
⤿warnings﹕ it's mostly just cursing and probably my bad grammar and spellings, but other than that, there's none. not proofread.
⤿note﹕ it's been awhile! I recently just saw this (cuz tumblr didn't give me a notification once again) so I rushed through this since I've got a small burst of inspiration lmao. There's also another anon who asked for a Taehoon fic so, here you go! I hope you guys enjoy this<3
Tumblr media
Taehoon was an asshole.
That is what you're currently thinking as you sit down crossed-legged on the floor of the dojang as you stare up at Taehoon who was standing before you.
“You're such an ass!” you exclaimed loudly, glaring at him as you gently rub your forehead.
He grabbed a water bottle and took a sip, completely ignoring your whole existence. This, of course, made you even more annoyed.
How dare he flick you on the forehead really hard and act as if nothing happened? He's absolutely heartless!
“That hurt, you jerk!” once again, you expressed how you were currently feeling, grumbling under your breath about how much of an annoying and mean bastard he was.
As you continued to sulk while still sitting on the floor with a frown on your face, Taehoon's gaze wandered over you, lingering for a few seconds before a soft sigh left his lips.
“Damn it... Let me see.” he mumbled before crouching in front of you, reaching forward and carefully lifting your chin up.
He checked your forehead and saw that it was slightly red, making him realise that he might have used too much strength than intended.
You watch him while remaining silent, noticing how his lips were formed into a thin line and how his eyes narrowed as he observed the red mark on your forehead.
He honestly looks like he's ready to murder someone with how scary and tense his face was. You wonder what other people would think if they saw the two of you in this position. Maybe they would assume that he was threatening you to give him your money or something similar.
As your mind wanders away in your own little world, you failed to register that Taehoon had inched closer, his face nearing yours before his lips made contact with your skin.
It took you a moment to process what was happening, still trying to make sense that Taehoon's lips are on your forehead, softly kissing it.
You blinked a few times in utter confusion and surprise when he pulled away and made eye contact with you. He brought his hand up from your chin towards the side of your face, cupping your cheek as he stared into your eyes.
“There, do you feel better now?” He asks in a casual tone, his face stoic yet the tinge of pink on his cheeks and ears didn't go unnoticed by you, but you decided not to comment on it.
You smiled teasingly, shaking your head, “Nope, it still hurts. Maybe you should kiss me here instead.” you said, pointing towards your lips and puckering it up for extra effect.
Taehoon grumbled, rolling his eyes and averting his gaze for a moment before letting out a deep breath and looking at you with an annoyed expression.
“You little sh... Ugh, fine, but you better stop whining after this and get back to practise, okay?”
“Alright!”
And with that, he closed the gap between the two of you, his lips meeting yours in a soft, tender kiss.
You smiled and closed your eyes before kissing him back, enjoying the sweet kiss the two of you shared. His lips were soft against yours and the way he was caressing your skin, drawing small circles on your cheek with his thumb while he kisses you in the most gentle way made your heart flutter.
Lost in the moment, the both of you failed to notice someone opening the door, “Taehoon, could you help me with moving these boxes inside–”
A thud can be heard along with a rather loud gasp, making the two of you pull away from each other and turn towards the source of the noise.
There stood, a wide-eyed Seong Hanseo, who was dramatically covering his mouth with a hand and the box he had was dropped by his feet.
There was an awkward silence that enveloped the dojang for what felt like an eternity, when suddenly, the middle-aged man's face became serious.
You and Taehoon tensed up, preparing yourselves for a scolding to come from the old man. Although, a few moments ticked by and it didn't come. Instead, what greeted the two of you was a father who looked like he was about to cry.
“Ah... You're really grown now... I can still remember the days when I was still changing your diapers like it was yesterday.” Hanseo said, looking towards the large glass window with a reminiscent expression on his face.
“I remember when you were very little, you cried when you accidentally stepped on a dog's poo–”
“Dad, shut up!” Taehoon shouted standing up from his crouched position, glaring daggers at his old man with his face completely red as a riped strawberry.
“Oh, and there was also this time when you fell and slipped down face first when you tried running down the playground slide–”
The day ended with you learning about a bunch of blackmail materials childhood stories of Taehoon. He, unfortunately for him, also had to sit and listen as his father embarrassed him in front of you.
He just knows that you will tease him endlessly about all the things his father was telling you about.

What do you mean it’s called “dissociation” not a max level 4th Wall skill and it’s “a problem” not a unique skill in my character profile?

Oh, no! You had a fight! Anyway...
Tumblr media
— Jonggun: Oh, word? You had a fight? He didn't even notice. He was so calm through all of it, you probably got annoyed with him and left. He lets it sit for a few days so your anger has time to simmer down before he approaches you again.
If he was in the wrong, which he rarely believes he is, he will try to goad you into physical intimacy again to make it up for you. If not and he finds your distance too annoying, he'll try to buy your good grace back with materialistic means. Smh. Do it again Jonggun.
— Joongoo: Genuinely refuses to be wrong even when he knows he's wrong. Somewhere in the middle of the fight, Joongoo realizes you actually make sense but he's committed to it so he will argue to the end even if it means pissing you off for good.
Will try to give you the cold shoulder back but it lasts for like three days until he comes over to pester you again. When you continue to ignore him, he tries to throw that treatment right back but fails and then doubles down on pestering you until you give.
— Vasco: Let's be real, it's not an actual fight. You just got exasperated because he's too dense to be helped and no matter how you try to explain, he won't get it.
Jace has to intervene at some point to explain that Vasco is just slow, not ill-meaning. Once it clicks for him what's actually bothering you, Vasco is pretty quick to apologize even if it isn't his fault. He doesn't like to see you upset, after all.
— Daniel: It's eating him alive. He got a flight-or-flight instinct to your disappointed tone. You don't even have to raise your voice at him, he's already fawning over you. Unless he thinks it's crucial that he's in the right, Daniel is pretty fast to diffuse the tension.
Never want to reach the point of fighting with you ever. But in the days after the fight, his people-pleasing mode is dialled up to the thousands with you. Will do anything just to see you give him one of your smiles.
— Jake: Most of your arguments don't escalate to fights. Honestly, he's pretty good at containing the situation. He'd rather you calm and articulate your point better than trying to argue with you. Hell, even if you said the most illogical thing ever, he'll probably agree with you.
Typical "happy wife, happy life" guy in a relationship. He'll try to make it up for you whether he was in the wrong or not. However, you can see when he's really in the wrong, he's extremely sincere. Probably be softer with you for the rest of the month.
— Samuel: It's annoying to fight with him because you know he won't ever be the one to lose his temper... visibly first. Has the habit of getting demeaning and nasty once he's truly irritated. Will probably say something insulting that he totally means.
Go on ahead, hit him with a bri—okay, maybe don't choose violence. Genuinely speaking, the best method to deal with him during an argument is to stay as calm as he is. Don't even expect an apology if he was in the wrong, that's just asking for too much.
— Eli: Another prime example of letting you with about 98% of the argument. He will sometimes bicker back with you if he knows it's not a serious thing. Jokingly teases you if you get worked up about small matters, but ultimately tries to pacify you.
Think it's pretty cute when you lose your composure? Won't tell you that though, he knows he'll sleep on the couch if he did. Super quick on trying to apologize and calm you down if he thinks it's not worth it. However, he's super serious if the argument is about heavy matters.
— Johan: This one is going to argue right back if you get annoying enough for him. It's so not worth getting into an argument with him because he'll be a sore loser if he lost. He'll be pouty and irritable for days afterwards, even if he knew he was in the right.
You probably have to be the one who went to soothe him because of that. It's so easy for you to win back his good grace, just make his favourite food and wait for him to come out... doesn't that just sound like—

continuing off from my butthurt anon ask earlier; in the end, i’m not into the other novel, so i would not be the right person to write a crossover befitting my tastes instead. it sucks because had the crossovers not made me salty, i know i would’ve found enjoyment in the story, but that’s life. (i’ve been thinking up crossover ideas with other fandoms that thanks to this, though. it’s a fun thoughtpiece)
.
but based on what i have gathered (MAJOR SPOILERS for any passerby):
1) it’s EXTREMELY important to mark down that the entirety of orv occurs as the DREAMS of a abused, suicidal 15-year-old boy using escapism as a coping mechanism, and that has a major hand in dictating the setting mechanics.
this means you need to have an EXTREMELY good reason why c and his family managed to enter orv without getting instantly ejected from the setting for not having been in ways of survival in the first place, if you opt to take this route in a crossover.
there’s a few fics that offer legitimately interesting ideas for this; somnambulist is my personal holy grail in this sea of fuckery because the writer had c READ ORV before jumping in, ergo on top of ensuring it’s just fourth wall layered on top of fourth wall there’s an amount of understanding and kindness and sheer general appreciation. (it is so good, actually.)
another offers ‘c was in wos’, but i personally feel like it dropped the ball for several reasons, not least of which is the clear roadblock that stemmed from that writer… not finishing orv, so it hits the same roadblocks of bypassing certain worldbuilding elements without offering a reasonable explanation for it under orv’s constraints, buying into kdj’s unreliable narration and thus not reading between the lines of kdj dissociating and deriving from his own backstory when he talks during emotionally driven arcs, and. yeah
another idea could be; either kdj or someone else in kdjc read the story c was from? say that hsy read c’s novel, so kdj might not have any idea where c’s gang came from but SHE sure does. and since hsy was able to read it, that means that several others would have read that novel too - so c would be in the story because his life is ALSO a story. i’m not sure if that exists, but it would be nice if it did
2) sacrifice (and why you should not be doing it)
it’s a shared theme between the two, from what i can tell? i hear from some that c isn’t actually sacrificial, it’s just that it always looks that way because either the multiple contingency plans he’s stacked together eventually drill down to that outcome or the things he has to do (i.e healing factor) just looks really bad from the outside. i wouldn’t know that for certain, so i’d leave this to your hands
in any case, in orv it’s a result of kdj’s passive suicidality and because sacrifice is the only love language his mother ever taught him. if i recall correctly, in c’s novel it would be because his life had managed to lock him into that pattern pre-transmigration? he’d become too used to living in high-stakes situations on top of also having a miserable life before his apocalypse, so he goes overkill when trying to secure a peaceful life post-transmigration.
that could be an actual talking point; that their lives had locked them into thinking patterns that hurts both them and the people around them, one way or another. gathering plan after plan and not relying on other people to understand, struggling to connect with others because connection gets you hurt.
depending on c’s ability to gauge other people’s mental state, would he recognise kdj’s thousand-yard dissociation stare for what it is or not? c was transported into a world that was kinder to him, finally, so he’d have had more leeway to connect with the people around him too; would he be able to recognize kdj’s coping mechanism from the outset?
would kdj recognize the same in him? he had chosen to help lee gilyoung but not his aunt because he had. (but he’s also terrible at reading people for the most part… his autism levels are off the charts)
that would be interesting, wouldn’t it? for both kdj and c, their lives pre- and post-apocalypse were ‘ruined worlds’, and they adopted mindsets accordingly. it would be interesting to compare them. it would be interesting to try to break out of that passive suicidality mindset with a mirror to reflect with.
3) this story is for that one reader / this story is NOT for that one reader
from what i have gathered, c read a story meant for his dead friend who opted to sacrifice himself instead of letting c die (which could be lumped into the above point, maybe); in a way, that story saved c anyway by giving him a family. in the epilogue, orv was written by hsy for kdj, but yjh was saved by reading that story regardless; reading of a man that he loved and knew and hanging on just a little longer.
why not take that to its extremes? we keep writing on flat, blank canvases (a wall) in the hopes that our messages will reach someone, but there’s no guarantee that it’ll reach the intended recipient. messages get lost in postal, people mistake it for junk mail, stories get dismissed as not being worth your interest.
but whether it reaches that one person or not, there’s always a chance that it’ll reach someone else, too. that they’ll come across the wall by chance, or have the words read out to them by someone else. that you’ll be seen by someone who you never expected.
you meet people you don’t expect to connect with; for kdj, that’s ysa, lgy, jhw, hsy. he wanted to write a happy ending for his favourite characters, but in the midst of that he connected even with people he never expected to know.
so how about two stories never expected to cross? c could perhaps be described as a post-apocalypse protagonist displaced into high fantasy, so being the unintended audience wouldn’t be the first time for him, either. to know another person, to know another story; to love and appreciate and recognize each other’s sentences in all its flaws. to save and be saved by people you hadn’t intended to. a serendipitous meeting. that’s something beautiful in and of itself, i think.
those are thoughts that i would never be able to put into motion, because i have not read c’s novel and i will not be able to until the taste of salt from when i foolishly dunked my head under the tumultuous tides of fandom has finally receded. but i offer this to you, because if you are taken with both stories yourself, i hope, perhaps, it will be something of worth to you.
sorry for the spam and the salt, and thank you for reading this far :> have a nice day henceforth
It's fine anon, don't worry! Also, since I've gotten your permission to post this one, I decided to do so. I really liked these ideas and I really do hope that someone will write at least one of these. Thank you for the ideas!

To that anon who sent me a message I'm sorry for your experience and for reminding you of it. I don't really know if you'd be okay with your message posted (since you sent it as anonymous and I think it was quite personal too) so I opt for this.
Okay so, I, once again, am sorry for your experience with the other fandom. I honestly understand where you're coming from, I, personally, have dropped tcf a couple of times (and some of those times were because of the ongoing bias towards it in terms of crossovers with orv) so I get why you're feeling that way. I'm actually pretty salty about how most of the fanfics just disregards the important points from orv and (in my opinion) things that make it special.
Also, to the anon who sent me the message, if you're reading this, I'm very sorry if I have misunderstood something. My reading comprehension sucks along with my English skills and the ability to understand anything.
I honestly haven't read some fanfics where the author states that they haven't read or fully (or at least until they're more than 100+ chapters in) read orv yet before they started writing (or maybe I've just forgotten) but hearing about your experience makes me upset too. I agree that the writer must at least understand both stories before making a story. Don't get me wrong, people can have fun with writing things and enjoy it but fanfics with clearly not a good/not much understanding for one (or even both) of the source material isn't really appealing. It just ruins the reading experience imo.
I won't shame anyone who hasn't finished reading the novels since I, myself, haven't finished tcf (I'm still around chap 490+). All I'm saying is consider both worlds. I certainly agree with what anon said about how there should be a reason for the tcf cast to be sent to orv and that at least one main character from orv has read tcf too and knows where they're from since, as anon said, (spoilers for orv in red, so whoever's reading can skip)
The reason why the story of orv even occurred was because of the most ancient dream, which is revealed to be kdj as a kid, dreams about the story as a way to escape reality (where he's abused and constantly being bullied).
So it wouldn't make any sense for tcf to suddenly get brought to orv without mad knowing who they are or unless one of the characters knows them, for cale or even choi han to have not read orv, or maybe even tcf being in wos.
I just wish they'd show as much love to orv the same way they show love for tcf:( it's upsetting how a lot of these fanfics tend to just shove orv away and shine light to tcf. I mean come on, there's a way for them to include tcf without pushing aside orv. It's obvious how they favour one over the other.
As for this:
Tumblr media
Based on what I've read and what I can remember, cale is smart yet mostly emotionally unintelligent. He knows what emotions are but he may not be able to fully gouge out what another person is thinking (unless it's kinda obvious maybe). But I do think if he sees Dokja and the way he copes, he may be able to recognise it but not fully? Though don't hold my word for that.
As for the "more leeway to connect with the people around him" part, well, he certainly can, but there's this thing about cale where he just keeps things to himself a lot and leaves out the crucial information whenever he tells others something. It's just like how his plans mostly involve him being in danger and people not knowing about his vitality of the heart. I guess it also developed in his previous life since based on the spoilers I've seen, he also acts like that with his 'co-workers' in korea.
Anyway, lastly, I'd like to thank you, anon, for giving me those ideas for stories. I may end up not using them unfortunately. It's been more than a year since I've last read orv and I also just picked up tcf after months of not reading it so around 49/51 of the information about these novels have been washed away from my mind. But, if I ever get the chance to re-read them both, I may start doing a crossover where orv isn't always pushed aside.
!!Rant ahead!! (so sorry for not putting this in earlier. I was taken by my emotions and it didn't cross my mind that others could get affected too)
Note: this is a rant about orv & tcf crossovers
Okay so I've gotten back to my tcf and orv phase and why does the crossover fanfics always revolve around cale? Don't get me wrong, I love him and all but why do most orv x tcf fics always make him so op and then make kdj and co. seem too weak compared to him (and the rest of the tcf cast). It's annoying how biased they are... Like come on, focus on Dokja too please. I can't even find a single react fic where the characters would react to orv, it's always about tcf.

⩇:⩇⩇ — Menace
⤿synopsys﹕seong taehoon is an absolute menace, always annoying the hell out of you. it's his way of showing his love, but he'd rather jump off a building than admit it though.
⤿character﹕ seong taehoon x gn!reader
⤿genre﹕fluff
⤿warning﹕cursing, bad grammar and typos
⤿note﹕It's been awhile! Here's some Taehoon stuff which had been sitting in my drafts for some time that I just finished a few minutes ago. 890 words | not proofread.
Tumblr media
Taehoon was walking around the YHC's office, trying to find anything that would get rid of his boredom. He didn't have anything else to do as he had just finished his training.
His eyes wandered around before stopping at a wooden door across the room. He mindlessly walked towards the door and opened it.
There, he saw you sitting on a chair in front of a desk, seemingly writing something.
Walking towards you, Taehoon had decided that you're the one to ease his boredom. He took out an unoccupied chair from beside you and placed it really closely to where you are before sitting on it, body facing towards you.
You stayed quiet even after noticing his presence, too busy with jotting down ideas flowing through your head.
Taehoon watched you for a while, observing you. How your eyebrows knit together in deep thought, how your eyes seem to light up whenever a new idea comes to mind or even how your lips form into a small pout when you aren't satisfied with what you wrote.
You were getting uncomfortable with the way his eyes were watching you intently.
With a sigh, you dropped your pencil and glanced at him, "What do you want?"
"I'm bored."
You rolled your eyes before continuing to your previous task, "Go train or something."
From your peripheral vision, you could see how he inched closer to you but you didn't make any move to scoot away, "I'm already done training."
"Why'd you come here of all places?"
"I wanted to annoy you."
How very blunt of him. You rolled your eyes again, making up your mind to just ignore him and pretend that he's not there. After all, ignorance is bliss.
Well, that was your plan until he decided to be a total menace.
"What's that supposed to be? Duck?"
"It's "crack", Taehoon." You replied, trying hard not to break the pencil you're holding in half but he's just making it hard for you not to do so.
"Mallow?" He mumbled,
You let out a deep sigh, "It's "mirror", those are "R's" not "L's", gosh... "
You're trying your best to contain your annoyance and focus on writing but the man, either oblivious to your frustration or just doesn't care, most likely the latter, spoke once more, "Your handwriting sucks,"
"You suck." You retort earning an amused look on Taehoon's face.
"Your insults are just as bad as your penmanship."
'I swear to god, if you don't shut up, I'm going to stab you with this pencil-'
Curses after curses flood your mind but you refrain yourself from snapping and held back. Nothing good comes out with arguing with the guy.
Realising that you won't respond, he let his eyes wander once again. Taehoon then fixated his brown eyes towards your hair.
After contemplating for a few minutes, he decided to raise his hand and brush his fingers through your hair.
Feeling the gentle touch, you momentarily stop writing to register what was happening.
Taehoon was playing with your hair, watching closely how it moves as he twirled it around his fingers.
You just decided to ignore him and continue on with what you were doing. You started scribbling on your notebook, your messy handwriting filling up the page.
A few minutes have passed and you're finally done. Taehoon was still somehow playing with your hair, he didn't even speak once after he had started.
You slightly tilt your head towards his direction, raising an eyebrow when you noticed how he was zoning out while absentmindedly twisting a few strands of your hair into his index finger.
Taehoon felt your stare and finally snapped out of his thoughts. His auburn (?) eyes turned towards yours. He didn't speak and just continued to stare into your eyes. Without warning, he leaned in closer to your face without breaking eye contact.
You felt your heart skip a bit but managed to put on an unbothered facade. You're sure that if you gave any ounce of flustered reaction, he won't stop teasing you about it.
But gosh, did his lips look so tempting right now.
Your eyes subconsciously trailed down towards his lips for a few seconds before you noticed what you were doing and looked away. He was leaning towards you in a painfully slow pace and it was obvious that he's teasing you on purpose.
'Damn it..' you thought to yourself. A soft sigh escaped your lips before you finally decided to take the matter into your own hands —quite literally if I may add— you brought your hand up and grabbed the back of his head before pulling him closer and closing the distance between the two of you.
Taehoon froze in surprise as he felt your lips against his. He would never admit it but he felt his heart flutter. Slowly but surely, his lips started to move against yours and his eyes closed shut as he savoured the feeling of your kiss.
You pulled away after what felt like hours, and you could see a small smile on Taehoon's lips,
"Didn't know that you wanted me that much." He said, giving you a cocky smirk but the pink tint on his cheeks and ears betrayed how he truly felt.
"Oh, shut up." You rolled your eyes playfully before pulling him in for another kiss.

I've been back here for like a week (less, I think)
And the next ten chapters of lookism are already spoiled for me :( I'm a webtoon reader
There's only so much i can be delusional about and convince myself i didn't see it
I hope all blogs who post spoiler pics/info/fanart put a cut (the read more thingy) in it and mention their post contains spoilers and/or the chapter number.
