Super shy !
genre: smut, baker au, college au, crack
Pairing: shy loser virgin bakery worker ! soobin x college customer ! reader
Warnings: sub soobin, dom reader, clubbing, loss of virginity, riding, hand job, titty groping (can’t be a Soobin smut without him being obsessed with boobies be fr), premature ejaculation,
word count: 2.9k
As soon as you stepped into the newly established campus bakery, walking up to the counter and observing all the pastries, contemplating for a rather long time before you end up deciding on what you’d usually order anyway, Soobin couldn’t help feeling like his world got totally turned upside down. The sight of you rendering him completely speechless and unable to even think.
Time seemingly going by so slow like in the kdramas as your shiny hair majestically blows in the non existent wind inside, smile brightening up the entire bakery. He could practically see the roses blooming around your face like in the mangas. Was this love at first sight?!
Realistically, no.
But were you incredibly attractive to him and a breath of fresh air to the moody, stressed out college students that purchase a single coffee and stay for hours completing assignments with their backs concerningly hunched over? Hell yes.
And unfortunately for Soobin, he does not do well with pretty people. At all. Not realising you had even ordered, too in awe and preoccupied with taking in all your features until he’s snapped back to reality with the clearing of your throat and he can already feel his cheeks burning up horribly fast. Oh god. He really, really hopes it’s not evident right now.
“S-sorry…What did you say?” He begins apologising profusely to you, too embarrassed to even look you in the eyes, staring off more to the side. This was definitely not his best customer service.
With a chuckle, you brush it off and state your order again, “I said could I have the strawberry swirl cheesecake please?” If Soobin could look at himself in third person, he would so be face palming right now. Or better yet, maybe he could just go up and like, punch himself straight up or something for acting like such a loser.
“Ah right... That’s ₩7500. Cash or card?”
You pay with cash and Soobin, very nervously, fumbles around to garner the right amount of change to hand you, though doing it in the most awkward way possible and his palm makes direct contact with yours as he hands the money, making him blush even more and let out a small obvious gasp at the feeling of your soft hand. Oh my god. Why did he do that?! He really hopes you didn’t find that weird.
You only let out another chuckle, thanking him before you’re leaving the bakery in an elegant manner and Soobin is left to sigh and watch your back disappear. Damn it. He’ll probably never see you again. You were so pretty and so cute, too cute even-
“You’re such a virgin.”
His thoughts about you are abruptly dissipated by his coworker and unfortunately best friend, Choi Beomgyu who gives him the stupidest, most annoying grin he would definitely like to slap off his face right now.
“Just shut up.” Soobin grimaces and rolls his eyes at beomgyu, bringing a batch of freshly baked cookies out of the oven behind him and placing them into the display glass one by one.
"You’re pinker than the strawberry macarons we sell. That's saying something." Beomgyu raises an eyebrow at him with sass.
So does that mean you could see how flustered he was getting then? Oh no! Soobin clears his throat and narrows his eyes at beomgyu anyway. “Am not.”
“Are too! Anyway, all I’m saying is that interaction was painful to watch. You’re really giving pathetic, loser, virgin right now. I cant lie.” Beomgyu attempts to stifle in one of his obnoxious laughs.
Soobin is quick to snap back, "You've only ever slept with one person!"
"S-so!! At least im not a virgin!" Beomgyu’s cheeks also become the equivalent to the strawberry macarons as he scrambles to try and defend himself, brows furrowed and cheeks puffed.
“Well, the concept of a virgin is purely societal anyway. It doesn’t actually matter. It doesn’t mean anything really.” Soobin bitterly replies, continuing to work whilst his counterpart does completely nothing like most of the time. It's usually soobin that does work, remind him not to agree to beomyu's silly ideas of getting a job together ever again.
Beomgyu scoffs and snickers at this, "Whatever. You’re just saying all that to make yourself feel better because you’re a loser. LMAO"
"I’ll punch you right now."
"Then we'll both be fired~”
A poor customer still awaits at the counter to be served, standing in bewilderment and tiredness. Waiting for the two bakers to finish bickering and sighing as they don’t seem like they’re going to stop anytime soon.
Soobin doesn’t expect to see you again, in complete honesty, he’s almost forgotten you even exist after you never come again. But he’s in luck and more than pleasantly surprised when he hears the bell to the door go ding!, indicating a customer had walked in. He looks up from the cake he was decorating and in comes you looking cuter than the first time he saw you. He tries not to mess up the cake and he stands up straight almost instantly when he sees you, waiting for you to order and trying to remain calm.
You laugh and point at his cute nose when you come up to the counter. “You have like, icing all on your nose.”
“O-oh. I do?” He points at himself and you nod in reply. He feels himself going redder by the minute. He must look so stupid right now! And he urgently brings his sleeve up and tries to wipe the icing off his nose to not make himself look an even more of a complete fool in front of you .
“Ah wait no. Let me do it!” You lean over the counter as you see him struggling and wipe it off the top of his cute bunny like nose instead for him.
And that was the end of soobin. The end.
-
You become a regular at the bakery and soobin becomes a regular of embarrassing the absolute shit out of himself each time he sees you. He really doesn’t think he can top the previous comedic disaster that occurs when you enter, yet he always proves himself wrong, the awkwardness reaching new heights each time. From dropping trays of pastries, spilling drinks, nearly slipping in front of you, giving you a ₩50000 note when it was only ₩5000 change, the list goes on and on. He’s actually surprised he hasn’t lost his job yet.
And there’s also always a disappointed beomgyu shaking his head afterwards ready to make fun of him when Soobin promises to make a move but freezes every time you’re in sight, too much of a pussy.
“I’m calling an intervention.” Beomgyu declares and sighs after the nth time of soobin making absolutely no moves on you whatsoever, “Soobin, my man, my bro, you desperately need to get banged. It’s painful seeing the way you act. Your little crush is not gonna like you with the way you act. That’s it. We’re going clubbing tonight after this shift. No buts.”
“But-”
“I said no buts!”
“You know I hate clubbing.”
“You’ve never even been with me despite my constant pleads.” Beomgyu shakes his head and makes a dramatic pained face at his way.
“So? I know I’ll hate it.”
“You’re such a hater bro.”
“Yes I am. And I take pride in it. I’m a hater of everything.”
Beomgyu just sighs. He was utterly hopeless.
Unfortunately, there was no way Soobin could get out of this because beomgyu was having absolutely none of his protests and excuses and that’s how he ends up finding himself at the club anyway after his shift, sitting off to the side as he watches beomgyu disappear somewhere into the crowd. Soobin sighs as he downs his jack and coke. This was going to be a long fucking night.
-
In the dimly lit club, soobin’s discomfort was palpable, like a fish out of water and you noticed instantly upon arrival. It’s that cute tall baker boy who always serves you! You excitedly make your way and sit next to him, he looked a little lonely. “Hey! You work at that bakery on campus. I go there!”
Soobin’s eyes nearly fall out of his sockets at the sight of you sitting next to him and he nearly chokes on his drink as he splutters on his straw and nods. Act calm, act calm, act calm, act calm. Act cool and mysterious.
It’s you! You’re speaking to him?!
“So…these things not really your scene, huh?”
“Gee. How did you ever notice?” Soobin attempts to smile and joke with dry humour but it executes a little more awkward and nervous than how he would have liked.
You also try to carry on the conversation since this is the first time you’ve got to ever actually talk to the cute boy before. “I’m very intuitive. I can just sense things like that.”
He laughs at that too, feeling a bit more comfortable around you now. “No but yeah, I’d much rather be at home right now sleeping. Can’t say I’m much of an advocate for getting stupidly drunk with sweaty people you don’t even know with terrible rave music and flashing lights that should have an epilepsy warning”
“I get it.” You chuckle at how passionate he gets talking about how much he hates clubbing, frown on his cute face. “So why are you here then?”
“Friend wanted me to. Said I needed to finally get laid or whatever.” Soobin rolls his eyes and sips on his drink again, motioning his head to the direction of beomgyu on the dance floor, clearly drunk off his ass now.
“Oh, you’re a Virgin?”
Soobin’s ears go red when he realises what he said to you. “O-oh um y-yeah I guess…”
“Are you waiting for like marriage or the right person or something?” You question, genuinely surprised. He was tall and very attractive and it was rare for college boys to not hook up every single night these days.
“God no. Just never happened. I don’t really care for things like that. It’s probably overhyped anyway and doesn’t even feel that good. Like porn is highly unrealistic anyway.”
“You think so?” You chuckle at him and he nods, continuing to cutely sip on his drink with his straw. “Well maybe you should to try it out first and see for yourself.” Your words start to become a little flirty as you grow more confident talking with him and also because of the alcohol making you slightly tipsy now. “Sorry, but do you want to get out of here?”
“Yes please.” Soobin’s eyes widen even more at your suggestion and he’s more than happy to get out of here with you especially.
“Umm your friend is a bit….out of it right now.” You watch beomgyu drunk from afar, whipping his long hair back and forth claiming to everyone around he’ll be able to do it fast enough to lift off his feet and fly like a helicopter.
“He’ll be…he’ll be fine I’m sure”
Soobin has no idea what good stuff he must have done in his past life to get to this moment right now, in your room, making out with you, in your bed. Did he mention making out? With you?! The customer he’s been crushing on for months?! Holy, he might hyperventilate right now. It all feels like a dream. Is this real right now?
You cup his cheek and move into his lap, continuing to move your lips against his and soobin’s ears and face are all flushed, breathing loud of enough for you to hear and he looks all nervous and a little shaky.
You stop kissing him but he chases after your lips still and you stroke his cheek, “Are you okay Soobin?”
He’s only able to nod, lips parted and eyes all glazed over. He’s so out of it just from making out with you it’s crazy. But so cute too.
“C-can you…can we…just want…”
“What do you want, baby?” You chuckle and stroke his cheek as he manages to utter some words. The petname only makes his head go even more haywire.
“W-want you…”
“What do you want me to do?” You giggle and coo at him.
He shyly shows you the boner he’s had this entire time. You can’t believe he got a boner just from some kissing. “Can you-will you touch me…please? Need it…” He pleads at you nervously, so red in the face.
“Are you sure?”
He nods his head exceptionally fast and you begin to unbuckle his jeans as he watches you take his flushed and hard dick out, breathing only becoming heavier. Damn, you didn’t think he’d be that big.
You take him into your hands and his mouth his already agape, gasping when you slowly start to stroke him.
You pump his big cock at a steady pace so as not to overwhelm him too much, though twisting and thumbing at the tip occasionally that has him drooling at the corner of his mouth and beads of precum dribbling out heavily from his cock. It’s endearing how far gone he is just at you stroking his dick slow, shy whimpers and other noises eliciting from his mouth.
You unbutton you shirt with your other hand as you continue to pump him and his eyes go crazed at the sight of your tits, you guiding his own big inexperienced hands to grope at them and he does, slumping his head into your neck and shoulder moaning into it and still groping and squeezing at your tits.
With a sudden yelp you feel Soobin’s cum spurt up and leak into your hands, his eyes rolling back as he whimpers continuously from his premature orgasm.
He doesn’t lift his head from your shoulder yet, too embarrassed to face you but he eventually does, eyes still half lidded, trying to catch his breath and he’s hard again. “W-will you fuck me? Please please please. Wanna feel it, wanna feel you, please?” He practically begs, still panting out.
“Are you really sure, Soobin? With me?”
“Yes please! Only want you.”
You study his face for any hesitancy but it’s clear he’s so set on wanting you to fuck him. So you wrap your hands around both his wrists and bring him to lay down on your pillows instead, you still straddling his lap.
When you’ve undressed your lower half, you bring his dick and slide it over your entrance a few times, he moans out loud, hands coming up shyly to cover his face and then you sink down incredibly slowly on his massive length . Soobin’s jaw drops and breath hitches at the feeling of his dick finally in your warm pussy, a strangled moan ripping out of him. He could seriously cum just from being in you right now, but he tries so hard not to or you’ll be disappointed and he doesn’t want to see you disappointed or embarrass himself even more.
“You good, baby?”
“M’ f-fine. Just-Just need a minute.” Soobin shakes out.
You take his hands away from his face and lean down to softly kiss him instead, trying to calm him down and he effuses into your mouth, kissing back passionately with his eyes closed.
“I’m ready now…” He pulls away after a while and looks you in the eyes.
So you start to slowly move, riding him, going up and down on his virgin dick. Soobin’s mouth hangs open in endless moans and gasps and whimpers, face buried into your pillow to the side and his hair all messy now. Whole body flushed and shaking underneath you.
“Better than you thought, baby?” You grunt out, bouncing on top of his cock.
“So much better. O-oh my god, f-fuck…ah!” So maybe sex wasn’t overhyped after all. Because goddamn, you feel so fucking good. Maybe it was just you. But Soobin truly feels like he’s gliding on fluffy clouds right now. All the times he’s touched himself not even coming close to how he feels right now stuffed in your pussy as you fuck him, watching mesmerised as your tits bounce with each movement. He could die here right now in full contentment. Oh how he was so wrong.
It’s not long at all before Soobin can’t hold it anymore. His hips bucking up and breath hitching as a loud strangled mewl tumbles out of his mouth and you feel hot cum fill you up suddenly that makes you still your movements on him. He lets out a long slurred groan and then goes limp beneath you, eyes closing shut and open as he fades from conscious to not every now and then. Is he really that fucked out?
After a while, he finally somewhat recovers and comes back to you from his high, still panting out and chest rising up and down. He looks up at you with a small shy smile on his lips, arm thrown over his forehead.
“You know I literally only go to the bakery because of how cute and silly you are and how you always make a mess of yourself whenever I walk in” You chuckle and admit, drawing shapes into his chest.
“W-wait you knew I liked you?” Soobin asks, shocked and feeling embarrassed again.
You laugh, “Come on, you made it rather obvious.”

Romance manhwas/webtoons I highly recommend!!!
Look! You guys must know, by this time, I am a romance connoisseur! *ahem* self-proclaimed*ahem* Romance is my fav genre and I'm not ashamed to say that aloud!! Since valentines day is coming and I'm still single, I simply fill the empty space in my heart with these cute manhwas/webtoons!!! I love reading them so much! But there are some really good romance manhwas that really give me hope about love. These are my recommendations, the ones I really enjoyed.
Daytime star
This manhwa is one of my most fav!! If you haven't heard of it, or read it...GO READ THIS RIGHT NOW!!....or whenever you have time, BUT I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS MANHWA! It's not just about its beautiful art style, but the story is AMAZING! If you're like me, who loves mature adult romance (and by 'mature adult romance' I don't mean a story like 50 shades of grey, but a more natural realistic romance between two fully grown adults) then this is the manhwa for you! I swear! I was binge-reading this manhwa the whole day, while eating, while playing games, while sleeping I was dreaming about this manhwa. The story is about a struggling actress falling in love with a very popular actor. It sounds simple, but it's really really REALLY GOOD! It's worth your time! There's nothing bad I have to say about this manhwa. It's truly outstanding.
Marry my husband
What? You want a revenge drama with the female lead in her comeback era? I recommend Marry my husband. I saw the Kdrama adapted from this manhwa and although the actors are really good....the story changes drastically towards the end. The Kdrama has so many....'Kdrama' elements which I'm not really a fan of and it just makes the story unnecessarily complicated for no reason. So I highly recommend you read the manhwa version. The manhwa version is more straightforward and simple compared to the kdrama and doesn't have any unnecessary drama to waste your time. All the characters are so good. Even the side characters have stories. I love how simple the story is and how satisfying it is. I'm sure you will enjoy the manhwa and fall in love the characters. Again, highly recommend this. This is the 2nd manhwa that I binged the whole day, and re-read it again yesterday. It's really good!
A Marriage of Convenience
I'll be honest, I was ignoring this manhwa for god knows why? Looking at the art, it just gave Under the Oak tree vibes.....and I'll be honest again, I got bored of under the oak tree. Everyone seems to love it, but I just got bored after 20 chaps or so. But this one, I finally decided to read it and again! I JUST CANNOT STOP READING IT!! I wonder why I'm so in love with it...it's because the female lead is so cool! I LOVE THE FEMALE LEAD IN THIS MANHWA!!! and you will know why once you read it. I feel like the female lead really carries the story on her back. Its so beautiful to see her growing and then comparing her present self to how she used to be in beginning of the story. Hey! I'm telling you! Go read it!! *points my gun*
I Thought It's A Common Possession (Ongoing!)
Isekai villainess manhwas are the trend guys! I wonder when is cybird going to release their own ver. of isekai villainess game? Well...I have not seen many people talking about this manhwa, so I wanna shed some light. It's a slow-burn but a really good one! At the first chap, you'd hate the male lead....but at the end of the latest chap, you guys will surely love the male lead. You'll think that the story is just a simple villainess manhwa were everyone hates the villainess but soon end up liking her...but no, it's much darker. You'll find out when you read it. Also the female lead...is a mommy!!! She gives me mommy vibes!! She's so beautiful!!
For My Lost Love (Ongoing!)
Another isekai manhwa that I'm obsessed with because the male lead is too hot for my own good! I think the reason I love this manhwa is because 1. it's a slow burn 2. the male lead is so good-looking 3. The relationship developing between the male lead and the female lead is really cute! It's like you can't help but want to see these two together! Right now, the male lead is completely in love with the female lead and its' so cute to see him being possessive about her and the female lead is completely oblivious. The female lead really loves the male lead because he is her fav character of her fav novel. It's cute! I love the female lead's personality, showing heart-eyes and blushing when the male lead does something....even the smallest things like drinking his coffee or arranging flowers. It's really cute!
Remarried Empress (First 80 - 90)
This story is really popular. There is a manhwa and a game....Phew~ Another one of those that I couldn't stop reading......BUT!! As much as I love the story and it's main characters...I feel like this manhwa is better if you only read it up to...90 chapters and from there, just read the spoilers. I'll be honest, the first 80 to 90 chapters of this manhwa are FUCKING AWESOME!!!! IT'S DRAMA AFTER DRAMA AFTER DRAMA! ABUSE! VERBAL ABUSE! EMOTIONAL ABUSE! It's bad but it's also good. The abuse is just too much to handle that you can't stop reading it because you want the female lead to be happy...and in the end she gets it. I highly recommend reading 90 chapters of the manhwa and then read the spoilers because the manhwa gets very sluggish. I bet you, because you will be only invested in the 4 main characters of this story and you won't care about anyone else. The first 90 chapters mainly focuses on these 4 characters and after that the story focuses more on other side characters until it connects back to the main 4 characters. This part is a drag.....so don't waste time and read the spoilers.
The Villainess Turn The Hourglass
Ah....This manhwa....truly one of the best villainess manhwa I've ever read!! I won't say anything! This is truly a 'VILLAINESS ROMANCE' manhwa and again...a story about a woman in her comeback era. Read only the main story though, I don't really care about the spin-off. The main story is truly satisfying. Read it! READ IT RIGHT NOW!! *Points my gun*
I'll keep sharing more manhwas and webtoons with you guys because I'm never gonna stop reading it! Even on my death bed, I'll still be reading it!!

CDrama Year in Review 2023
I'm still very much a CDrama beginner--I just started watching them in the summer of 2022--but since this is the first year I got into them in earnest, I figured I might as well do a year in review a la @dangermousie (whose lists I have found incredibly helpful in deciding which CDramas I really, really need to go back and watch as part of my CDrama education--so thank you!). So, without further adieu, here is my ranking of 2023 CDramas, in order of least enjoyed to most enjoyed*.
(See also: KDrama Year in Review 2023)
*Disclaimer: *not* a measure of objective quality
10. Royal Rumours: This drama was not great? Meng Zi Yi and Jeremy Tsui were fun, but the story started out messy and got messier. For some reason I still finished it, I think because I had a lingering cold and it was all my brain could handle at the time *shrug*
9. Gone with the Rain: I actually really enjoyed this one! The pacing was inconsistent, but Zhang Nan was fun as the irreverent Mo Xi, and we love a grizzled general. Special shout to the teacher who was not actually evil, just a sad lesbian whose gf disappeared on her
8. Love You Seven Times: Intriguing concept, not a strong enough FL to carry it through. The reincarnation stuff really worked for me at first, especially in their first mortal tribulation (as people, not CGI animals), but I got tired of it pretty quickly. I admit, the gifs of Ding Yu Xi as a sexy cat demon *did* pull me back in, but not enough for me to actually finish the thing, alas
7. Destined/Chang Feng Du: Started out really strong, and then stalled out on me. I think I only got up to about episode 22 or so, after their epic desert crossing and new start in a new state--they lost all narrative momentum for me there. I stopped watching and then just...didn't start again. I do, however, remain a big Bai Jing Ting fan, and will be keeping on eye out for whatever he does next
6. Hidden Love: (Contemporary) Age gap romances are hit or miss for me, but Zhao Lu Si absolutely stole/carried the show for me in this one. Although more fun imo when the main couple are in the the will-they-won't-they phase than in the family melodrama after they get together, still the only contemporary CDrama to get me to give it a go this year--and I'm glad I did
5. My Journey to You: Featuring my favorite murder girlies Esther Yu as Yun Wei Shan and Lu Yu Xiao as Shanguan Qian! Gorgeous costumes and sets, sweeping cinematography, and plot that kept me on the edge of my seat. Full disclosure, I have not actually watched the last two episodes because I got busy and then saw weird chatter about them, so I have no comment on the allegedly weird ending
4. Till the End of the Moon: Look, I know the ending wasn't ideal, but for the majority of its run, this drama owned my entire soul. It also introduced me to Bai Lu as Li Su Su, who inspired my first actual tumblr post (that wasn't a reblog) because I was so obsessed with her. And everyone knows that Tantai Jin is the CDrama ML of the year. 10/10, no regrets at letting it take over my life (and the OST my Spotify) from April to May of this year
3. The Story of Kunning Palace: More Bai Lu is always a good thing, and she's extra fun here as the transmigrated former evil empress and totally-over-your-nonsense Xiang Xue Ning here. The reverse haremness of it all totally shows why Bai Lu is the chemistry queen, especially with the princess (Liu Xie Ning) and cranky, morally grey, would-fail-gym-class strategist Xie Wie (Zhang Ling He). So glad this drama made it out of the CDrama vault and didn't languish indefinitely in censorship hell
2. A Journey to Love: Finished this one two days ago as of this writing and am still not normal about it. Ren Ruyi (Liu Shi Shi) and Ning Yuan Zhou (Liu Yu Ning) lead an exceptionally strong ensemble cast in this wuxia that explores the complicated relationships between love, duty, loyalty, loneliness, and companionship. Ruyi and Yuan Zhou are far and away one of my fave OTPs of the year, but just as compelling are the relationships between friends/brothers/fellow assassins Yu Shisan, Yuan Lu (ugh my heart), Qian Zhou, and Sun Lang. This drama definitely has one of the strongest ensemble casts of the year. And the character growth of Yang Ying from little princess abandoned in the cold palace to who she becomes by the end will stick with me for a long time. Plus another 10/10 OST!
1. Lost You Forever S1: I'm not normally a reverse harem girl, but the longing, loss, and hard resolve portrayed to perfection by Yang Zi as Xiao Yao really did it for me here. This whole drama struck an emotional chord for me, and where TTEOTM consumed my soul, LYF took over my heart. Xiao Yao's relationships with her power hungry, overprotective cousin Cang Xuan; hot snake demon Xiang Liu/playboy archery shufu Feng Feng Bei; and perfectly devoted Tushan Jing are all equally compelling to me, and while I may know who she ends up with in the end, who I *think* she should be with changes based on who's on screen at any given time. And A'Nian, my favorite bratty princess who really just needs some strong parenting, holds a special place in my heart. I know we may never get S2, and even if we do, censorship means it probably won't be what the drama makers are capable of, but I'm so glad for this little piece of absolute perfection. And, again, a top notch OST!
Fave Drama: Lost You Forever, by just a hair over A Journey to Love. See above.
Least Fave Drama: Royal Rumours--truly why did I finish this, what was past me thinking
Biggest Disappointment: 2023 is also the year I read Dreamer in the Spring Boudoir, my very first CNovel! But then I didn't even bother checking out its adaptation, Romance of a Twin Flower, because it got rid of everything that made the novel such an addicting read, including a brilliant, strategic, ice cold FL and an ML who actually kind of sucked at the beginning, only to grow on you very, very slowly over time. I'm grateful that the chatter around the drama is what brought the novel to my attention, but other than that, hard pass.
Favorite Male Character: Lots of good ones this year, but I'm gonna go with Cang Xuan (Zhang Wan Yi) from Lost You Forever. The conflict he faces between getting enough power to protect the people he loves the most and that power making him incompatible with those loved ones is so compelling, and his yearning for Xiao Yao even when she's right in front of him is wrenching. Full disclosure, I also just really love the sound of his voice
Favorite Female Character: This could easily have gone to Li Susu (TTEOTM), Xiao Yao (LYF), or Ren Ruyi (AJTL), but I'm gonna go with Bai Lu's Xiang Xue Ning in The Story of Kunning Palace. Something I really loved about this character was just how jaded Xue Ning really was, even in her second go round at life. Yeah, she wants to make amends for the harm done in her previous rise to power, but that has hardly turned her into a good--or even pleasant--person. Instead, she's incredibly skeptical and still plays most things ice cold, especially with her family. As a bonus, we got plenty of Bai Lu's fantastic side eye as she basically had to do high school all over again when she gets called into the palace despite her very best efforts not to be.
Favorite Ship: Ren Ruyi and Yuan Zhao from A Journey to Love have got to be it. They balance each other out so well, and over the course of the drama, learn to communicate effectively with each other whenever they have a problem. They also recognize that not all problems can be solved by ~love~, which makes their relationship even more compelling when they decide to prioritize each other in a way that respects what the other wants from life.
Favorite Secondary Ship: Little princess Yang Ying and Yuan Lu absolutely broke stole my heart in A Journey to Love. Doomed love even more than the main OTP, these two's youthful romance was such much fun to watch, especially as they egged their respective mentors on in their own romance. Yang Ying's recognition that her first love did not have to be her only love is also something I always love to see, even as it broke my heart that (spoiler) she and Yuan Lu never really had a chance at an HEA. Their relationship really exemplified a key theme of this drama: that you should love the people you love while they're still with you because tomorrow is never promised.
Non-2023 Dramas that I Watched: Two non-2023 dramas I watched that deserve a special shout out are Love and Redemption and The Sword and the Brocade. Love and Redemption prepared me to really appreciate the big swings that Till the End of the Moon took, and The Sword and the Brocade went a little way to filling the Story of Ming Lan shaped hole in my heart. The Sword and the Brocade also had absolutely searing critique of the concubine system, even as it featured one of the most genuinely good-hearted FLs I've seen. Would recommend both!
Most Looking Forward To: Yes, I'm a sucker and the censors (not to mention the characters) will probably break my heart, but I'm still crossing my fingers that Lost You Forever S2 will live up to the promise of part one. See above: still a CDrama beginner, have not yet had all the optimism knocked out of me. Sue me.

Genre/tags: Idol and non-idol dating. been friends with cheolie before becoming an idol but have secret crush to each other
Warning: (none) just something sweet and short only.
~~~ [lmk if i miss anything]
Words: 2.6k
Disclaimer:
- this story is just made up
- english is not my first language, please be nice 😊
Note: reposting all my stories one by one again as I deleted my acct by mistake. All of the stories I will be posting is all mine.
(All of my fanfics/oneshots are also available wattpad @/shinestar1024)
Every concert you have been present. You had jumped and screamed for every hard hitting songs and then sing along and cry every now and then for every slow and ballad songs. You have been there since the beginning. You had been and will be supporting your best friend's career.
Cheolie's career together with his group soared so high that they got busier and more focused on their careers than ever. You respected it and understood it. It's normal for his job.
But then, one day, something shifted between you two.
"What's with the long face?" Ace, asks while she hands me the cup of hot chocolate drink I ordered
I smile and continued to stare outside the window of the coffee shop.
"Wow! A new endoresment for SVT." She gasps as she looks at the huge TV screen across the street. The one I'm looking at. "They've been busy..."
"Yeah, they have been."
"They had an event too right? A fanmeeting... something... and they went on a festival as the main event?"
"Yes. They did."
"And... you didn't go?"
"Yeaah, I can't." I take a sip of my drink
"That's a first. How come? You always makes time for his things..."
"I do. I want to support my best friend... but..."
"But what?"
"Things at work got hectic so I need to do somethings and..."
I can't tell Ace that I'm starting to feel something off. Not that Cheolie and I had a fight or what. It's just that, my heart feels weird lately. And I need to control it.
"The last event was weekend... so did you went out? Coz I'm sure you weren't home. I called you and it sounded like you were outside."
"I was." I press my lips together. "I was on this date thingy that my friend at work set up."
"What?" Ace got all excited. "Spill the tea! How is it?"
"Hmm... it's okay... he's seems nice and sweet."
"So... a potential second date?"
"Well..."
"C'mon! Do it! You don't have time to date because all you do for your free time is sleep or on a svt event."
It's true. That's the only life you had outside work. It looks like you are obsessed from a third person perspective but it doesn't bother you. One you are a fan and two, Cheolie is important for you.
"He actually asked me out for next friday night...I told him, I'll let him know my sched at work next week."
Ace claps and cheers for me, "finally!"
*********
After getting home, I did some cleaning in the house, especially my room and then took a nice shower. I feel refreshed and calm now. What a nice way to end my friday night after a long week of work.
I was towel drying my hair in the living room while I'm watching a kdrama on the TV, when I suddenly heard the lock on my door beeps. I panicked a little as I am not expecting anyone but then a familiar figure appears.
"What are you doing?" He asks
"Shouldn't I be the one asking you that?" I remove the towel on my head. "What are you doing here Cheolie?"
He's wearing all black from pants, hoodie and beanie
"It's late." I glance at the time on my phone and then saw a bunch of missed calls from him.
"How long did you shower that you missed all my calls?" He finally makes his way where I am and throws off.
"I have it on silent mode. I cleaned and showered." I explain
He sits down beside me and throws his head back.
"You look tired..."
"A little."
"Where you guys practicing today?"
"We had a photoshoot today."
"Oh... I see..."
Then his eyes darts straight at me, " oh, I see?" He repeats
"What?"
"Are you not a fan of ours now?"
"What? I am!"
"Then, why aren't you present on my last two events?"
I'm a little surprised that he noticed it. He barely had time now to meet me personally and event call me so, how did he know?
"Where were you?" He asks
"Hmm... first event... I'm at work. Overtime."
"This weekend?"
"I was on a date."
"A date?"
"Yeah."
"Why?"
"What do you mean why?"
"Why... like, why didn't you told me? Shouldn't I know this? And since when did you had time to meet anyone and have a boyfriend?"
"Whoa! Hold up!" I laugh, "boyfriend? No... it's just a date. My friend at work set me up to meet this guy. And, why would I tell you?"
"I am your bestfriend."
"Okay... but... you are busy... I'm sure my dating life is none on the top list of your concern." I tease
He suddenly became serious, "so you like him?"
"Hmm?"
"I am asking you, y/n. You like him?"
I scratch the back of my neck, "He's cute... and nice..."
"I asked, do you like him?"
"I don't know! I just met him once."
"Will you meet him again?"
"Ahm... maybe... Not sure yet."
"No."
"No?"
"I don't want you to meet him again."
"Why?"
"Because I said so!" He stands up, walking away and goes to my kitchen and opens the fridge to grab a water bottle.
"What's wrong with you?" I ask
"Don't." He says again after chugging the whole bottle. "Don't see that person again."
"What's wrong? Did you even know the guy I met?"
"No. But I don't care. You can't meet anyone." He throws the bottle water in the trash and comesback to sit beside me.
"You're being weird." I mumble. I throw the towel I have around my neck to the side and start to finger comb my damp dear.
We both became quiet for a while. I thought he was just focused on the show I was watching before he arrived.
"You smell different." He suddenly asks
I put my long hair to the side, still combing it with my fingers. "What does that mean?"
He pushes he's hood off, staring at me "Did you changed your shampoo?"
I scrunch my nose as I try to recall, "Not shampoo... I think it's the body lotion... My friend at work gave me one. She said she bought 2 bottles of it coz she liked the scent but I guess his husband and son didn't... so she gave me the other bottle.. then she can just finished the used one."
He then moves closers and gently reaches for my neck to smell. "It smells sweet." He mumbles. His breathe onto my skin tickled, making me jerk a little.
"It's vanilla, I think and some flower." I move a little away from him, which he notices.
"Why?" He asks
"It tickles." I run my fingers one last time through my hair. "You could've just asked me if you want to smell it. I can give you my hand..."
He smiles, "But you already touched you hair... so it will smell like your shampoo or conditioner too..."
"So does my neck! My hair touches my neck."
His smile grows. "Or maybe I just like to smell your neck."
"Weirdo." I shake my head, rolling my eyes at him.
"I missed you." He suddenly says and then proceeds to lay his whole body to me.
"Hey!" I protest. "You're heavy!"
"You're a strong woman. You can handle me."
"I'm not buff like you!" I try to push him away, with all my might but I fail. "Ugh! I give up."
"Just... let me..." he squirms more to get comfy until he reaches to the idea to actually embrace me. "I miss you..."
Crap! Why is he so clingy like this. Oh dear lord. My heart is beating out of my chest!
"Do I make you nervous?"
Should I answer him honestly? If I do, would it make things between us... awkward?
"N-no..."
"You're lying..." he nuzzles his face closer to my neck. "I can feel it..."
"Then why ask then..."
He chuckles, "you're so sassy..."
I suddenly became quiet after that. I just continued watching the show that is on right now. I just let him be. I slowly relaxed after a few more heart beats.
It's Seungcheol. It's not like a stranger is hugging me. Besides this is what he is, clingy and very affectionate. It does not mean anything.
For him.
But for me, as a weak girl, the things we used to do as young kids, now makes my heart flutter. I'm not sure if its because of him or I'm just that needy for affection since I haven't really had a boyfriend for quite awhile now.
"Cheolie... why are you here?" I ask, breaking the silence. "It's almost midnight... the members or your manager would be worried."
"I'm an adult." He mumbles, he's eyes were closed all this time. Though he's not technically sleeping coz he moves a lot.
"Of course I know that. What I meant is---"
He abruptly moves, raising his head up. We are eyes to eye. "Do you?"
"Huh?"
"Do you really know... that I am an adult?"
"What are you talking about? Of course I know. We are the same age. 27 years old."
His gaze slowly goes down from my eyes down to my lips. "When I say, I miss you.. what do you feel?" He asks
"I don't understand..."
"I said earlier... I missed you."
"I heard."
"So...?"
"Ahm... so?"
He sighs and move back away. "Y/n, you promised me to be present in every performance and event I have."
"Hey... I only missed two."
"You did. I understand. But... you didn't told me ahead of time. You couls've texted me and said, 'hey, I'll not be at this and that because this and that.' So... I will not look like a fool going around the stage, searching for you if you are in your seat."
"I ahm..."
"I always save you a seat. In case you didn't get a chance to buy your own ticket. You always text me if you got a ticket... these two times you didn't so I asked my manager to save you a seat. For those two events, I looked at that seat and you weren't there."
"Sorry..."
"I asked my manager if you arrived... and when he said no..."
"Hey... I'm sorry okay? I got busy and I didn't know that---"
"Busy? You went on a date."
"Hey. Cheolie, you are being---"
"Being what?" He snaps.
"Are we seriously will fight over a date I had? One date?"
"We will... if that date means something to you."
"W-wait. What do you mean? I'm not following where is this going..."
"It's simple."
I look at him and waited for him to say anything but he just kept looking at me. He's eyes shows a different side of Cheolie that I haven't seen before.
"I'm jealous."
What did he say?
"y/n. I am... jealous..."
But why though?
I can't speak. I'm too stunned to even react.
"It means, I like you. No, actually... not like... but.. I...love you... Y/n."
I finally blinked and breathe when I hear my wall clock strike 12 midnight.
"W-what...?"
"You heard me."
I take a deep breath, hand on my chest and look away. I think I'm experiencing a heart attack. My heart is faster than normal and I can feel my veins in head beating. Is this normal?
"Look at me..." he takes my hand and pulls me closer back to him. "Y/n, relax..."
"H-how can I relax.. y-you said..."
"I said I love you... yes..."
"H-how can you say that s-so casually... oh my gosh..."
"Because it's true... I can say it a hundred times more now just for you to believe it."
"Are you drunk? Or are you sleepy? Or... are you pranking me? Because I didn't go ... or... or..."
"Y/n... I will kiss you if you don't stop..."
And so, I stop. I tried my best to recollect my thoughts and not let my sleepy head confuse me.
Then, I look at him. He looks so cute. He looks a bit disappointed that I did stop rambling. I guess he really did want to kiss me.
I am not prepared for this situation. Yes, I am a little out of order but I am not welcoming this.
"Do you want to kiss me?"
His eyes widens. "What did you say?"
"You heard me..." I now bravely move closer. Closer to the point that I am sitting on his lap.
He eyes follows my every move, smiling. "Y/n..."
"So...?"
His takes me in, his behind my neck and pull me into THE kiss.
OUR kiss started slow, eyes looking at each other, testing the water. But when he felt that I am into it, he begins to deepen the kiss. More need and more thirst.
"I've never imagine us... kissing." I say as we both catch our breathes
"You didn't?" He tilts his head on the side, one brow arched.
"Like... duh... you are s.coups... the leader of SVT."
"So?"
"So? Hello... look at me and then you."
He smiles and kisses me on my cheek. "You are Y/n....my y/n.... without you... there is no me... remember that."
I can feel my cheeks burning. I try to hide it by looking away
"Hey..." he cups my face and asks me to look back. "Don't hide... I haven't seen you this long for quite some time... let me see your face..."
"You're busy... you guys are rocking it lately..."
"Yeah... we are.. " he smiles.
I look down at my knotted fingers, "so... we kissed.. "
"We did." He kisses me on my cheek again. "Are you going to ask me what will be our relationship after the kiss?"
I nod.
"Simple. You are mine and I am yours now. Exclusively...." he bites his lowerlip, trying to supress his smile.
I snort a laugh.
"What's funny?"
"Nothing... it's just that..." I look at his pouting face. "I just can't believe this...us... we've been friends for a long time and... now... we're making out. On my couch. In my apartment. And at midnight. "
"Why not?"
"Well...." then my phone dings.
I bet it's either his manager or one of his members.
"Look... Joshua texted me... they are looking for you... you didn't told them that you're coming here?"
"I told no one."
"You sneaked out?!?!" I slap him on his chest lightly, "Cheolie! You will be in trouble!"
"So?"
"What you mean so? Your career. What if a fan saw you or anyone from the news?"
"So, my career is important than us? Like... hello we are discussing our relationship!"
And we are back to our bickering relationship. We always do this. But we're not actually fighting, this is just how we talk. We nag each other.
"Cheolie..." I get up and try to pull him off my couch. "Go... I don't want you to get in trouble." I try my very might to pull him but he's strong. "Get up!"
"Let me sleep over."
"No!"
"Why not? I always do... when I visit you."
"Well... this time its different." I let his hand go and sit on the chair across him.
"Don't worry, Y/N... I will not do anything..." he smiles, reassuring me.
"Okay... but atleast inform your members and manager..." he nods "and sleep in the couch...."
"Okay." He smiles and then spreads both his arms wide open. "A kiss and a hug before you grab me a pillow and blanket."
"Fine." I kiss and hug him tightly before I went into my room to grab pillows and blanket for him.
"I love you." He whispers as I walk back out.
Its a whisper. But I heard it. And my heart felt it.
"I... love you too." I answer

Twins
Yandere Taehyung x Reader
Summary: Something is off with your husband today......
Warnings: twins tae, yandere tae, obsessive behaviour, smut (not descriptive), dumb Y/N
A/N: Again originally from my Wattpad account. I hope you like it and if you do please make sure to leave a like.
Masterlist
____________________________________________
Your Pov:
"Byy Tae"
"Come back soon"
I bid my husband.
"Will do, Jagi"
He said before getting into his car and driving off.
I went back inside our house and decided to do the house chores.
Yes, I am a housewife.
Though I had dreams to do something great in life but I decided to be a housewife after marriage. There's two reasons for that. First, my husband earned more than enough for two people. So there won't be any financial problems even if I have kids in the future. Second, I'm too lazy to go and work outside.
_________________________________________
After 2 hours:
I finally completed all the cleaning and cooking. Now I just wanted to relax.
I went and sat on the couch and was about to switch on the tv to watch the latest episode of your favourite kdrama. Actually it was yesterday's episode that I missed due to my lovely husband. When suddenly I heard the sound of my phone ringing.
I hurriedly got my phone that was kept in the table right beside the couch you were sitting on. I looked at the caller id and my face immediately lighted up. I quickly picked up the call.
You:"Mochi"
I shouted on the phone.
Jimin:Y/N
How are you?
You: I'm good and how are you?
How is work?
Jimin: I am fine and work is great too.
How is your married life?
He teased.
This way we talked for about an hour. Unbelievable, right? But we are talking to each other after a month. Actually Jimin is my first best friend. We have been friends since we were in diapers. He is currently in the US for his job. Truth to be said I am happy for him but I miss him a lot. I hope we can meet soon.
While talking to him I didn't realise the time it was afternoon and I still didn't had my lunch. I then quickly ate my lunch and cleaned the dishes.
The same morning I got a call from my mother. She said she misses me very much. So I decided to visit her today. So for the same reason I got ready and left for my parents' house.
____________________________________________
9:00 PM:
I hurriedly reached my home because it was too late. I know that Taehyung must be home by now. I didn't even cook dinner for him. He must be waiting for me.
But when I reached home I found that the main door was locked from outside as I left it. That means he is still not back home now.
Strange.
Maybe he has extra work to do.
I opened my purse, took out the key and opened the door. I got inside the house.
Once I changed my dress, I began cooking.
____________________________________________
1 hour later:
I was finally done with the dinner but Taehyung was still not back from work. I was getting worried for him.
He is always back at eight but today he is two hours late. I quickly dialled Taehyung's number but it told that it is unreachable. I called him a few more times and got the same reply.
I just hoped that wherever he is, he is ok.
I then decided to call Jin Oppa to know that if Tae is still at his workplace. I was about to call him when I heard the sound of the doorbell.
I rushed to the door and opened it. It was Tae. I finally sighed in relief. He came inside without a single word.
"Where were you Tae? Do you have any idea how worried I was?"
"Ohh... sorry for that, darling. Actually I had extra work to do today. I promise to come home early next time."
Darling, he never calls me that.
"Let me change my clothes."
He said before going towards the store room.
Wait, story room. Why is he going there to change his clothes?
"Tae our room is upstairs."
"Ohh right."
He then took a u turn and went up the stairs.
Why is he behaving so strangely now? He was ok before going to work. Maybe work pressure.
I followed him upstairs and reached our room and found him in his white shirt with his half coat discarded on the floor.
I picked it up, folded it and kept it.
I was just admiring him when I noticed a red stain on his white shirt.
"Wait.. Tae, what is that?"
"What?"
He looked confusedly.
"This"
I pointed towards the red stain on his stirt. As soon as he understood what I was talking about, his face turned pale.
"Ah..ohh t-this it-its nothing. It's ju-st ketchup. Y-ye-yeah ketchup. "
He shuttered.
"Ok come down, I'm serving dinner."
I left from there and came downstairs. There was only one thing going on in my mind.
Why is Tae behaving so weirdly?
____________________________________________
It was around midnight when I woke up as I felt some weird sensations. I opened my eyes and found that we both were naked. Tae was kissing and biting my neck hungrily while thrusting inside me.
"Tae..ahh"
You moaned.
"Not Tae, darling. It's V"
I didn't pay any attention to him. I felt myself getting close to my high.
"Say V, darling, say it"
"V"
I moaned as I reached my high. He didn't stoped and still went on.Today he felt more muscular than before. I don't know how.
"Now I finally have you, darling. I don't even have to worry about my twin brother."
He said with increasing his pace.
"Tae, what are you saying?"
I was confused now.
"Yes darling, I am not Tae but I'm his twin brother V and now you are finally mine. Forever"

He is LITERALLY a pathetic wet man. Heh.
But also, JKY! You guys have no idea how much I am obsessed with JKY in dramas. Come and Hug Me, which introduced me to him, literally brought me back to kdramas after YEARS and so he will always have a big spot in my heart.
I mean, I sat through the entirety of Born Again (aka literally the worst kdrama I've ever seen in my close to 20 years of watching them) for that man and still looked forward to his dramas after that, and if that doesn't show how much I adore him...

a ranking & summary of my thoughts on gmmtv 2024 part 1
pluto: this is my everything already. A GL??? with two of my fave actresses film & namtan??? AND a complex, interesting plot??? I'm obsessed already!!! this looks so good I'm so happy it's happening & it will become my whole personality once it airs!!!
the trainee: I genuinely believed, even with the rumors that off, gun, view, kapook & sea would be in a show together, that we wouldn't get an offgun show this year. AND I WAS WRONG!!! is this what it's like to always fucking win??? like genuinely, my ship is THAT ship, I'm so lucky & happy and I love them so much <3
peaceful property on sale: duuuude, this looks so fun??? I was already hooked when I saw new's over the top character, but a ghost haunting show with taynew, jan & mook??? absolutely incredible! this looks ridiculous & I know I'm gonna love every second of it!
my golden blood: bruh, thank goodness I was warned about jossgawin in advance or I might have had a heart attack, but honestly????? THEY ATE THAT! and mond playing the villain????? babe, that casting is incredible & perfect, I'm obsessed!!! I usually don't like supernatural stuff but I was also a teen wolf fan bruh so atp I'm gonna EAT that shit UP!!!
wandee goodday: you might not know it, but I have a super power. every time I start being a fan of someone who hasn't done bl, they do bl the following year. this year it was nonkul, and next year it's gonna be great sapol. AND I LOVE THAT FOR ME!!! this looks really good & fun, the characters are interesting and the story not too crazy or too basic. I can feel that it's gonna be good!
ploy's yearbook: a female-led show & the return of mond as a main??? BLESS!!! I love most of this cast, this looks fun as hell, I adore my gmmtv girlies... gotta watch this for sure! love seeing earth in more roles outside of his ship too!
enigma 2: I still haven't watched season one, am planning on watching it very soon, but I've heard great things so I'll be sure to catch season two as well! especially since I really liked toey jarinporn in the recent lakorn to the moon and back so I'm excited to see how she does!
my precious the series: as you know I've watched the movie in theaters, but I'm excited for it to be out as a series too, especially since there's extra scenes! seems like it might be even more lovable, and also if it's on gmmtv's youtube channel I'll finally be able to gif the iconic scenes :')
high school frenemy: this looks interesting & I like sky, but I feel like the plot doesn't make sense if it's not a love story... idk I feel like since this is adapted from a kdrama it's just gonna be a frustrating story that should be a romance but is reduced to bromance instead... I might still watch though :')
only boo: this looks kinda cute though basic. I don't know both main leads but might watch it.
we are: this has all ships I like, especially marcpawin & aouboom who deserve more spotlight, so I will be watching, but the plot seems really basic so I'm not expecting anything out of this world...
kidnap: this plot seems interesting but the cast isn't so... yeah.
summer night: I was so confused by who is supposed to be with who in the show lol, honestly I was down for dunkphuwin lmao, but this looks too messy for me :')
my love mix-up: I absolutely despise remakes even though I enjoyed kieta hatsukoi & like geminifourth, and although I'm certain this version will fix the chemistry issues of the original, I'm not gonna be watching it.
ossan's love thailand: same thing as for the previous show but even more so bc ossan's love is such a product of its time & shouldn't be remade in 2024 imo...

silvia's drama watching queue for 2024: a somewhat random assortment of stuff that was rec'd and for some reason feels it might scratch an itch
in progress - started & I swear I'm gonna finish
* Empresses in the Palace - I'M DOING IT BABYYYYY. 9 episodes down. Yes, the emperor looks like your grandpa and so far has the personality of stale toast. But as long as I don't imagine him naked (no, grandpa, no! it's time for your nap!) then it has this vibe of those Masterpiece Theatre productions I watched as a preteen and I already am recognizing tons of famous tropes (some elements of Job of Imperial Concubine already 3x funnier). Also I appreciate a horror story with a high body count and we have 3 victims already 👌
* Derailment - Modern cdrama that I know is great. I'm 3 ep in, just gotta be in the right mood
* Legend of Fei - Wuxia; got distracted halfway through last year but love the 2 lead actors. Not their best work but still.
* Fireworks of my Heart - what if china did a modern Persuasion adaption but he's a fireman and she's a nurse, basically. kinda. idk man, it has those same vibes for me. I like both lead actors (yes I'm on the YY Can Act Sometimes, When He Feels Like It defense squad. fight me). I'm like 1/3 of the way thru, need to be in that melancholy romantic wallow mood. But mmm I do love second chance + pining.
* Secret Romantic Guesthouse - a wild kdrama appears! Historical drama about saving your inn from debtors by finding a missing royal & turning him over to be murdered. you know, just girlboss things. 💁 Some mystery, some romance. I like the FL. Not much slapstick humor or people screaming at each other so far, which will make me tap out. 4 episodes in and it's quite watchable. I'll probably finish.
not started
* The Left Ear because why not? teens being realistically messy 👌
* Go Ahead - so this may sound strange but I've been holding back on this one a long time, until my work hours were less insane & I can focus. Universally beloved, one of the top cdramas. I'll sink my teeth into this Modern in 2024.
* The Blessed Girl cause it sounds like my jam
* Fake It Till You Make It - modern romance that I've seen rave reviews for. Pretty confident I'll love it.
* Gone with the Rain cause dangermousie's posts seduced me. Costume drama.
* West out of Yeman/Parallel World - multi-verse modern with a lil sci fi? I love multiverse and time travel \o/
* Wonderland of Love - historical romance with generals and some court intrigue, a happy ending. On paper, my kind of stuff. But will I make it thru 40 ep depends on how much I vibe with the otp
Maybe
Choice Husband (12 eps romantic comedy, then turns into blood and manipulation? sounds intriguing)
Moonlight - modern workplace drama, editor/author. Reviews are mixed but I have affection for how cdrama scriptwriters will obsessively research a topic in the style of an AO3 fic writer. I expect to learn more than I ever wanted to know about the toils of being an editor.
Marry My Husband - I don't watch many kdramas but I turn up for tropey reborn every time. If they deliver on the promise of a ridiculous but entertaining romance revenge then I'm there.

The good bad mother
*Clears her throat for the long rant*
I just want to say
I KNEWWW IITTT
I knew Kang-ho was not evil.
You know how I knew it? Because of my instinct that has repeatedly failed me BUT THIS TIME WORKED
Okay, let's start on the public bath: Kang-Ho is getting part of his memories back and I CAN'T WAIT until he gets his full memory back.
The yellow nail polish: I was sure that he was going to get a memory right there but that was hopeful thinking. However, seeing Mi-Jo supporting him through hard times and bringing him comfort was nice. The way Kang-Ho started crying as soon as he saw her shows just how much he trusts her. It was a nice and sweet scene.
His mother throwing him to the river: I was ready to throw hands but then I understood what she was doing. I mean, I'm not saying that throwing the poor man unto the river was a good idea but it was a good idea? I don't know. Mixed feelings right there and then.
Kang-Ho walking again: Definitely had me screaming in my mind (I was babysitting my Godson and he was napping on top of me so I couldn't exactly scream my lungs out) and then Mi-Jo's face started sparking.
His relationship with the twins : CUTEST TRIO EVER! Seeing him sharing with his kids (Because we all know they are his children) is sooo cute. And him being his baby's girl first love? Extremely adorable. And the best friend of his baby boy? Out of this world.
Now, the fun part.
The letter was not something I was expecting. it was surprising and shocking. But it was well received. He sent his mother a letter while being fully aware that she wouldn't believe that he was being sweet. Kang-Ho was cleaver and smart.
The memory card is something that I am honestly looking forward to. I can't say more about it because I don't know what it's going to happen next.
Now, the woman and the baby: I knew he hadn't killed the, My evidence? The evil cane man looked very confused when he heard the evil glass man say that Kang-Ho had killed them. It was enough evidence for me. They are alive. Kang-Ho didn't killed them.
"I'm sure you weren't abandoned either" OF COURSE SHE WASN'T ABANDONED! I am extremely, super-duper sure he left in order to protect her. But you know what else I'm thinking? That he had to make sure she was safe. I believe (Again, this is hopeful thinking) that Kang-Ho kept Mi-Jo on his radar. I feel that he knows everything that was going on with Mi-Jo including the twins. I also feel that Kang-Ho managed to protect Sam-Sik while he was in jail.
This may be wishful thinking, but I hope it's real.
Until next week, or until I obsess over another kdrama!

admin note 2024-03-26
So, it's been a hot minute or so (besides accidentally posting fanart that doesn't belong ^^;) and last you heard from me, I'd just changed careers and started a new job. It is roughly two and a half years later and I've been promoted.
But that's not why I'm updating this blog.
If you're still hanging around on tumblr, you'll know that this isn't a stable platform. Unfortunately, it is the only place I have my writing, right now. I've decided to start archiving gwynne-fics onto AO3, which is much more stable.
In the last week I've moved Board Meetings, Holiday Meet Cute, Extra Whip, and Arranged. Please, go take a look, and drop a kudos if they once gave you some joy, even if it was over...ah...five years ago ^^;;;
Archiving is going to take me a few months and Undercover will probably be the last work I archive due to it being a beast.
As for writing and updating this space? It's a big maybe. You've heard me say in the past there are projects (TTAF, Silver Lining) I've always intended to finish and I'll be honest, that feeling is very much there. And I do work on them privately in between my new media obsessions. (I watch several Actual Play shows now and have written fanfiction for them).
Currently, I'm watching Queen of Tears. I didn't think I'd fall back into kdrama again but here I am. Anything is possible.

hello everyone ! i'm on the lookout for a couple of 18+ writers who may be up for writing oc x oc rps within the dark romance genre, which may or may not heavily favour booktok vibes for rp inspiration (ifykyk 🫡). yours truly is an adv.lit–novella writer (this means i'll max out the discord message limits multiple times per reply and i would like that reciprocated to some extent though i will adjust to your general length and shift my lengths according to what the scene needs. though 2 messages is my minimum, and my max is untested as of yet, so bring all the details and pretty prose to me because i'll devour it like the cookie monster 🍽). and to provide some info on me, i'm a twenty+, she/her writer who favours the third person perspective and has a hard-on for writing f characters in mxf, with an additional preference towards writing with other f writers (so mdni) and for everyone else be reassured that my f characters are far from typical, my girls are often dark, twisted and obsessive in their own ways and will send your boys on the ride of a lifetime, scouts honour to that.
i might write a lot, but i do also reply slowly and am a very understanding partner, so an average of 1 reply per week is very brilliant per my standards and all i'll truly require is for the space between replies to be bridged with ooc planning and sharing of headcanons, plot dev, using tuppers for small text ideas, etc. on this note, if you can not communicate effectively or hold a conversation with equal effort to what i'm putting in, then i'm likely not the writer for you. your girl is a certified and proud yapper who has an undying love for analysing our ocs, plots, and dynamics !! i'm a huge sucker for collaboration regarding the plot and i will push for brainstorming headcanons and plotlines before we start the rp, for sharing pinboards, tiktok vibes, music and media that remind us of the ocs, and i sincerely need this interaction to upkeep my interest so please give it to me !!
for tropes, i'd love to explore ones like possessiveness**, obsession**, rich kids gone wild**, step-siblings** (plsplspls), toxic x toxic, power imbalances, killer x stalker, dark side of the entertainment industry (music, acting, hollywood or kpop/jrock), modern aristocracy, old money v new money, dark academia, sports, arranged marriages and more.
and a side note here, but i'm mainly interested in writing ocs between the ages of 18 – and 26 as of now (flashbacks to younger ages are fine) and i do NOT enjoy large age gaps so please come at me with oc ideas within this same age range. i also need to leave a note that i have a preference for model fcs or lesser-known actor fcs– the only exception for popular actors would be if they're foreign such as kdrama actors or if you ask for suggestions and i mention it but otherwise, i'm not interested in the common fcs and am fine with using no fcs too. i'm totally with writing smut, cool with darker kinks too or doing fade-to-black based on your preference. but dear god, i need our ocs to be villainous and toxic and just a little problematic.
if this ad appeals to you, then hit the post with a like, and i'll get back to you asap.

🕊 hey, 21F adv.lit–novella discord writer here who is looking to reignite her love for collaborative writing by engaging in a dark romance rp full of intense drama, sizzling emotions, and electrifying chemistry. i'm a little out of practice, but i can write multiple discord messages worth of content, hitting up to 2–6+ messages as an experienced novella writer. though, i'm also university student with a job, so i do reply at a relaxed pace (once or twice per week-ish), but i'm decently quick with OOC and employ a very lax reply policy for my partners (meaning you can do you with no worries). i will happily engage in lots of headcanoning, sharing aesthetics, tiktoks, ideas, and planning for rps, and i love to get that same enthusiasm in return !! don't be dry, contribute, and we'll get on well !! i can send pages of headcanons, and i will screech over our ocs, so let's fangirl together !!
an added note is that complex, imperfect, twisted, and flawed ocs are my bread and butter, and darker/villainous characters will always have my heart. so this is a love letter to all of y'all with a preference for writing well-developed, fucked-up ocs, your darlings have a safe haven with me. seriously, all my girlies are very far from cliche, and they're often decently messed-up, so i love it when i feel love&worry for your ocs cuz that's how you'll feel about my crazy darlings. i'm fine with dead-dove & darker themes (my only hard no is big age-gaps, ED's and incest, all other dark themes are welcome), other specifics like limits/kinks/rules can be discussed in dms.
idea-wise, i recently created twin sister ocs with a very interesting backstory, tons of darkness, and a codependent enmity. i'd love to write them within something akin to a mumu-esque rp– as in, writing two storylines within a shared timeframe/plot, two romances that are entwined, four characters that will overlap into each others lives and become tightly knit as either a 'found family' or 'clashing enemies'. so, it's like this: characters a/b and c/d may be our romantic pairings, but a/c are sister's with a complex set of issues to work through while b/d could be brother's, friends, rivals, etc (i'll leave that up to you, but i'd love if your two ocs also have a history) and we can have moments where their plotlines overlap where a/d might have a friendship moment, b/c may have a enmity storyline, while still writing a/b and c/d as main pairings.
note: a little cliche, but as of now, i am someone who prefers playing F roles within the MxF pairing, and also prefers to write with other F/nb writers (mdni).
themes i'm interested in: old money with criminal entanglements, different flavours of fucked-up characters, morally-questionable actions, rich kids gone wild, dark academia in university/high society, possessive/obsessiveness, stalking, power imbalances, blackmail, old money vs new money, music/art scene (kpop vibes, rock scene, industry harshness, scandals) contrasted with corporate/business. my ocs will be east asian so kdrama/cdrama vibes are also welcome. dark romance is a must.
react if interested, and i'll get back to you asap.

Shipper Tag Game
the ever so wonderful @wangmiao tagged me in a game! yay :D I spend my days studying as of lately an I needed a little distraction eheh
-
1. what ship were you completely obsessed with when you were a teenager, but now you don’t care anymore?
aah man, it’s probably ed & winry from FMA if I’m being honest. now I know why, bc my baby gay younger self saw the potential for ftm!Ed and mtf!Winry since day 1 but I didn’t have the words to understand it as such back then. it’s not that I don’t care anymore but that fandom served its purpose and I am thankful for it. learned about my own stance on gender euphoria thanks to it actually even if the story has nothing to do with it in retrospect.
2. which ship would you consider your first one?
ik that, as a wee child, I was obsessed with Haruka from Sailor Moon flirting with Usagi, but I wouldn’t consider that as a proper “ship”. I learned shipping was a thing at, like, 19. but if I look back at my childhood... probably either Syaoran & Sakura (bi nation where u at??) or Touya/Yukito from Card Captor. I clocked the Tomoyo/Sakura waaaay later tho, which is a pity.
3. your first fanfic belonged to which couple?
first fanfic I read was a D. Gray Man one, so it was probably a Kanda/Allen situation yeah. I think I was 20. oh god.
4. do you remember the first couple you saw a fanart over?
hard to say. I think I had just discovered tumblr, so it means I was either 22 or 23... so I was either in the Pandora Hearts fandom or in the Tokyo Ghoul fandom. and I only followed people from those two so... I think it was an Arima/Haise one? hard to say fr.
5. did you ever get into ship discourse?
I tend to stay away from that. I just mute or block people and go back to play with my fictional people. me is petty at times, yes.
6. did you use to have any no-otp or have it currently?
I do have ships I don’t particularly like, but I find it silly to talk about them. I let people enjoy themselves.
7. who were the couples in the last fanfic you read?
Gaon/Yohan from The Devil Judge bc there’s only one fic in the whole fandom I follow and I generally don’t read fanfics that much. (I may or may not have read a fanfic from Evilive in the past month or so, but if I did I was feverish and recall very little of it).
8. currently do you have any OTPs?
man where do I start?
Shang Xirui/Cheng Fengtai from Winter Begonia
Zhou Zishu/Wen Kexing from Word of Honor
Gu Yun/Changgeng from Sha Po Lang
Seo Doyoung/Han Dongsoo from Evilive (current one)
Kim Gaon/Kang Yohan from The Devil Judge
Lee Dongsik/Han Joowon from Beyond Evil
Koo Ryeon/Park Joonggil from Tomorrow
(one sapphic ship I shall not name - for the discourse is rampant about them- but it involves ladies and dragons)
Eve Polastri/Villanelle from Killing Eve (I am waiting for the italian dub to drop season 3 and 4 in dvd, I am too attached to it to budge)
(if that news about Kim Goeun and Jeon Doyeon starring in the same thriller drama is true I will make it my entire personality so be prepared for it)
9. is there any couple that, to this day, you are extremely mad about not getting together?
is there?.... man I have no clue. they are all true in my heart. I can be anal about it and say that I call bullshit on the main girl in True Beauty kdrama not ending up with the second-male lead if I really have to be mad about something but... meh? that’s probably it? the characters were too young for me to empathize with them but I guess that’s still something I think about from time to time?? I feel so silly saying this ahah
10. is there any ship you used to dislike but now you think they are kind of interesting?
honestly, ever since kun opened my eyes about soggy older men being bullied by grumpy older men I have changed as a person. I never disliked it per se but now everything has changed. I see the vision now. I see it. thank u kun :)
11. do you have any ship that, in the past, was considered normal but now you would be cancelled over?
listen. I ship changgu. it’s Gu Yun’s fault to be such a cougar, what was a growing kid like Changgeng supposed to do? not fantasize about his godfather? who, I might add, is only, like, 8 or 9 years older than him and didn’t even want to take that role to begin with and they got together when both were above their mid-twenties anyway? try again tag game. these new fandom babies are eating my face like smooth lions as we speak. (I am joking...)
12. what was your favorite crack ship?
before I left the m/dzs fandom... I guess Wen Q/ing & Lan W/angji as a “beard for beard” situation. they are gay and they are not vibing on prom night, having to dance with each other instead of looking for people they actually like. maybe it’s best that I left the fandom ahah
13. who is the couple you read most fanfics of?
I don’t really... read... fanfics... anymore. usually I’m either in a big ship or a niche show/book with no in between. in the second case... it’s bad bc I feel the urge to WRITE for the fandom and ship in question, which means that I don’t want to read fics about it unless I have finished my own fic for it (bc I don’t want to accidentally steal other people’s ideas. my subconscious is an octopus I swear, it latches onto anything that moves in my brain. I cannot do that to someone else’s creation!); in the first case it works only if I’m not active in the fandom:
take Word of Honor: I write for it and for the main ship too, so I don’t read fics about it
take Evilive or Winter Begonia: we have so few fics in there I MUST WRITE for the main ship, so I don’t read fics about it (sometimes I do cave in tho, yes I am human)
take The Devil Judge or Tomorrow: I’m not active on either of those, so I can enjoy reading fics (only two, one for each fandom)
my life is a struggle ik. the most fics I have read for a ship is probably that sapphic ship I shall not name (evil women come at me!!) and bagginshield from The Hobbit (we are talking 10 years ago tho)
14. what most of your ships usually have in common?
across all genders and all gender combos, I have generally 3 vibes going on:
twice divorced, never married
long suffering banter, but fond
not related, not chosen family, but a secret third thing
(additional flavor: either the younger one is the bossy one or they are the same age and they are making it everyone’s problem at that)
15. what you absolutely hate in a ship?
I would say conformity. if I don’t catch any queer vibes from the main source then what’s the point? even in a het ship I must latch onto some gender magic of some kind. some pegging for everyone would be nice too. or no sex at all, for a change, why not?
-
thank u once more kun for tagging me! imma tag anyone insterested in doing this and @amethystina and @danhoemei is they feel like doing it or if they just want to have a look at my replies, no pressure!!
#tag game#wangmiao#sneaky niki#niki answers#@amethystina if u are reading this. I must tell u: the autofill corrected Kang Yohan into KANT Yohan#and as a philosophy major I cannot stress enough how much my blood boiled at the idea#first. the Abyss line was from Nietzsche not Kant#second. Faust was entirely Goethe (Et Al.)’s fault not Kant’s#third. somehow even Hegel is at fault for that#once again not Kant#whose crimes are many but at least he is not the cause of that piece of work of a man known as KanG Yohan 🤣#hope all of my mutuals have a very good day

Overall, I’m happy with how it ended. With my minor quibble being that we only got that tiny scene of them together at the end.
So Orchid was always Orchid, just hiding her true self and lying in order to protect DFQC. Which is precisely what DFQC did for Orchid. This show LOVES its parallels.
The bridge scene was so devastating. And you can see it it nearly broke Orchid. But the utter heartbreak of DFQC. Everyone else feared him or admired him but Orchid was the only one who loved him. He loves her completely and is utterly devoted to her.
But at the end Orchid cannot quite keep up with the lie, and does the one thing that shows DFQC who she is - the smile gesture. With the Destiny Book, DFQC figures out what Orchid was trying to do. The kiss scene also gives her away - she doesn’t push him away, kisses him back and is crying.
I am happy that I was right about the so called “destiny” wedding was never finished - they did not say their vows.
I’m not surprised that he had a brief moment of weakness that let Tai Sui take over. But Orchid fighting through and kissing him - in yet another parallel since it calls back to how they met
And I was somewhat right in that the Goddess’ power would restore DFQC but my boy upgraded his Hellfire to Glazed Fire. He went from having no feelings, to restoring his Love Tree to getting Glazed Fire because he has great love and compassion, has suffered yet kept his heart. Though tbh, Hellfire as a name just sounds cooler than Glazed Fire.
Can these two be any more tragic? She literally has to kill him to save everybody. And the whole time this is happening they are kissing in his Glazed Fire. I was sobbing. Then she has to see him fade away while she calls him Wooden Head and all she has left is the little Bone Orchid.
My guess is that she knew it was possible for him to come back, which is why she asked Xunfeng if he believed in a wonder. She says that love is slow. Her Goddess power is healing so I think for 500 years she’s been healing the Bone Orchid through her love and power.
She’s been waiting for him all this time. Then he’s there with a “I’m back” and they kiss and I cry. Yes, I would have liked a longer ending with them but ultimately he’s back, he has his memories and they are happy.
I suspect that without the war, him having Glazed Fire and Orchid at his side, he will be more the the domestic dream DFQC.
LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this show. My favourite thing I’ve watched this year and it’s not even a kdrama. One of my top OTPs ever.
A++++, would obsess over again.
Now to spam gifs.

This scene was something else...
The way his face changes.
It almost pains me to swoon at just how genuinely good KSH is because I have never gotten as many crazies coming after me* as I did with his fans going insane in my inbox because I was not shipping FL with his character in Start Up (the drama itself was not bad but the watching experience was so unpleasant that it put me off anyone involved in it, actor or writer, for years) and it gave me a totally irrational but understandable aversion to the man.
(*) OK, actually probably tied with insane Gu Hye Sun fans coming after me back in BOF and similar days because I said she couldn't act.
I went from liking him a lot after Catch the Ghost to wishing never to see his name mentioned around me again after Start Up (seriously, I have never seen a kdrama bring out this level of crazy in fandom and I lived through the You're Beautiful v IRIS thing as well as Boys Over Flowers AND Moon Lovers and more.) I didn't check HCCC when it first aired in part because I am not much for romcoms but in part because just seeing his name made me twitch like someone who drank 17 espressos.
Usually, when I am that no-go on actors it's because I dislike their acting or (more rarely) they are a felon. KSH was unique in giving me the twitch reaction not for anything he's ever done but for crazies fangirling him.
BUT
2020 @dangermousie is probably watching me in disbelief at fangirling the man but without his insane fandom driving me up the wall, I got to rediscover that he's genuinely genuinely amazing. Tbh, it makes me feel just as annoyed at the crazies as I did back then if for a different reason - like your insanity almost made me miss out on an awesome drama and an awesome performance (and possibly other good performances he might have in the future) because you can't act like a semi-functional human being. I am pretty sure I was not the only one who went from "he's a solid actor" to "god noooo!" after all that lunacy which cannot possibly be a reaction any sane fan would want to evoke for the object of their obsession but what do I know.
Anyway, rant over.

People I wanna know better tag
I was tagged my @my-rose-tinted-glasses and I figured why not? I am currently trying to not think about all the work I gotta do tomorrow (*has a silent weep* is it friday yet?)
Last song?
I'm currently listening to Megaverse by Stray Kids as I write this. I'm in one of my skz playlists so the next song will also be them. This surprises no one. Oh it JUST changed. Now it's Case 143.
Favorite color?
Green. Any shade of green. Always green.
Currently watching?
This is subject to change at any moment cause I'm not sure if Time will stay on this list and also I might add a random Kdrama to binge we'll see
Last movie?
I watched Porco Rosso for the first time ever about a week ago with my best friend in the entire world. They love it. Someone tell me what cursed movie I should make them watch on our next movie night?
Sweet/spicy/savory?
All of the above. This actually is reminding me I have something spicy in my fridge that I'm gonna heat for dinner.
Relationship status?
Single please and thank you
Current obsession?
Hmmm...I don't think I have one right now. That will probably change soon. I guess the closest thing I have to an obsession right now is Pit Babe. Favorite currently airing show. Which surprises me greatly.
Last thing you googled?
A local burger shop to verify that it was, in fact, closed today.
Selfie or another pic you took?
Here's a picture I took last spring of the lake. Maybe one day I will post a selfie (without a mask) but today is not that day.
I'm not tagging anyone specifically but if you want to do it, count yourself tagged. I'm gonna go back to trying to remember my own name now.
#tag game#rae irl#the other songs that played while writing this were ta s-class lalalala and now venom if anyone is curious
