Character Portraits
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(from left to right, top to bottom; image looks clearer when expanded)
Lee Do Hyun
Do Hyun stands at about (6'0"-male/5'8"-female), and they possess a rather toned body considering they prefer to remain indoors. Their chest-length black hair remains braided most of the time, maintaining a neat look for public presentation. Their fair skin is flawless, and their blue eyes seem icy cold despite the smile that they always seem to wear.
Baek Yeon
Yeon is fairly tall (6'3"-male/5'10"-female) and possesses a well-built physique. They keep their messy reddish brown hair in a high ponytail, paying no attention to maintain a neat look since being 'exiled'. Their eyes are a cool shade of gray, and their beige skin is relatively smooth save for the calluses on their hands and the scars on their skin. Despite their reputation as the scariest soldier on the battlefield, the gentle smile they show you convince you otherwise.
Haram
Haram is (6'2"-male/5'9"-female) tall, and they are fairly toned, considering that they've gained their human form only recently. They possess stunning white hair that reaches their lower back, and they have crimson red eyes that seem to shine even more under the moonlight. Their ivory white skin is smooth and flawless, even glimmering like pure white diamonds in the moonlight. They are often described as the most beautiful person on the earth by anyone who has had the luxury of escaping their wrath.
Hwang Yi Rang
Yi Rang is average in height (5'7"-male/5'4"-female) and possesses a fairly petite figure. They have short, messy sand blonde hair and fair skin. Their warm chocolate brown eyes always seem to reflect their laidback personality, and those who know Yi Rang often described them to resemble a mischievous puppy that's always looking for fun.

Stars |
Tumblr media
Ships: Jinhae, Minlee, Choibaek, Heeseok, Woozhi, Taenoru, & Sungpark.
Jinhae:
Jin-woo wanted to share this feeling, this moment, with someone else. The feeling of the world not on his shoulders, but holding it tenderly in his hands, appreciating each detail that made it whole. In every flaw, and in every crease, there was always going to be a person who would cherish it. . . Just like the one beside him. Her touch was warm on his hand, he slowly intertwined their fingers together, admiring how well their hands fit. It was as though he was holding his own world. The world that once drifted from his fingertips, now returned to where it supposed to be. Right beside him, in his arms, under his loving gaze which had never changed since the first time he looked at her that way. Hae-in breathed as she leaned her back against his chest, staring at the sky above them. Jin-woo wrapped his arms around her tighter and pressed his lips on the crown of her head, he felt her squeeze his hand, causing him to smile. He would never wish to trade anything else for this moment — he found peace in her presence, radiating warmth in parts of his soul that had been long shattered. He could spend eternity just only with her as they watched the stars together. And his heart, once hardened and lumpy, seemed to soften and become untangled now.
Minlee:
A circle. A diamond. A flower. Ju-hee traced various shapes with her finger across the sky, filled with bright stars that lit throughout the quiet park. Underneath her was a soft blanket to prevent her bare arms from itching against the prickles of the grass, a jacket was also layered over her lap, protecting the bare skin under her dress against the frigid air. The owner of the jacket itself silently napped beside her. Byung-gyu had fallen asleep after minutes of gazing at the stars with her on the ground. Ju-hee lowered her hand as she glanced at him, smiling at the sight of his handsome face as he slept, not a mere trace of perturbation was found on his features. She wished for him to stay that way. Behind his charming smile was a void of poignant memories. Ju-hee knew she could never erase them, but she could always be his safe place. Placing her hand on his chest, she raised her head to press her lips on his forehead, Ju-hee leaned back again and then saw his hand on top of her own. It was time for him to wake up anyway. Ju-hee chuckled and rested her head on his shoulder this time, Byung-gyu now held her hand with both of his own as he fixed his attention to the sky, fully awake, and watched his lover's finger trace across the stars, drawing an infinity symbol.
Choibaek:
Smoke faintly wafted in the air. His fingers held the cigar between his lips, breathing in another smoke before gently releasing it through his parted mouth, watching it flew away along with his problems. It was only one of those few times Choi Jong-in could get some moment for himself. Peeling off his position as a guild master, a hunter, and become the man whom he really was. Alive. He wondered while gazing at the stars whether or not he truly wished to be left alone, as the heaviness nibbled in his chest, nibbling, succumbing, cold as though the flame had gone out. Perhaps deep inside, he yearned for something more. Perhaps he expected another amidst his time alone. And turned out, the answer he needed was in the jacket that was placed upon his shoulders. Jong-in quickly turned his head and saw none other than Yoon-ho, who glanced at him with his warm orange eyes. The temperature from the jacket ignited his soul once again. Lips curving into a smile, Jong-in removed his cigarette and burned it into ashes with a snap of his fingers; he inched his hand closer until he intertwined it with Yoon-ho's. The night was cold and dark, Jong-in wished to return the same warmth — if not, more — Yoon-ho had given him. After all, what else could he do as a fire mage?
Heeseok:
She was waiting, looking at the stars from the window of her living room, like a silent prayer. For him. She knew it was a futile thing to worry about a person who was as ruthless and powerful as him. But who could blame her? Every night was a repetition she never wished to break — the feeling of his presence arriving in the vicinity, the sight of his warm eyes, the smile that locked the skeletons deep within his soul, and the touch that had been tainted in unimaginable ways. Nonetheless, Hee-jin knew that to love was to risk. . . Then a silhouette appeared in the center of the window. She quickly set her feet on the floor and rushed toward Eun-seok, wrapping her arms around him. He asked her what was wrong, she shook her head and smiled as she faced him. His eyes were gentle, only reserved for her and those whom he trusted, and his arms around her made her feel secured like how she never had. Eun-seok smiled and pressed his lips on her forehead.
Woozhi:
Jin-chul slumped back against his seat, grunting as he rubbed his temples. Small stacks of papers and folders stood on his desk, the left side had taller stacks which insinuated that they were done, but there were still unfinished work to do. It appeared Jin-chul's stamina was now low and he did not think he was able to leave his office spotless. His gaze shifted to the clear window where the stars glimmered throughout the darkened sky. For once, he felt serenity. The sudden homesickness. Without a further debate with himself, Jin-chul got up from his chair, with such force that sent it spinning as he grabbed his coat and exited the office, not sparing a last glance at his messy desk. There were not a lot of employees in the building as most had already gone home, so it was silent when Jin-chul was heading to the exit. His car was at the shop to be repaired, which meant he would be taking a bus on the way home. . . But when he got out of the building, someone was already waiting for him. Jin-chul did not have to guess as his instincts could already tell the face beneath the hat. He went up and gently lifted the brim to face a pair of glowing yellow eyes interlocking with his gaze and lips that was curled into a warm grin. Jin-chul didn't fight back against his smile. Zhigang removed his raised hand and intertwined their fingers together. And at last, Jin-chul's heart became more serene and all pressure had been drifted away. It made him want to lay on the couch and lean on his beloved and then have him rub his arms until he dozed into slumber.
Taenoru:
A shivering air embraced him when he pulled the door shut, Tae-gyu cupped his hands around his mouth to breathe onto his palms, warming it. He shoved them into his pockets as he proceeded to walk. . . Only soon to pause when his caught something near the tree. A hooded figure stood next to it and their head was directed to the night sky. A smile grew on the archer's face, he did not need another second to recognize who it was — someone had appeared to be waiting for him, so Tae-gyu made his way to the hunter and placed his hand on the shoulder, causing the person to flinch from his touch. A chuckle escaped from his mouth while Minoru glared in embarrassment. Tae-gyu leaned forward to plant a quick kiss on his lover's cheek and held their hands, feeling Minoru relaxed; they began walking together afterward. Nobody else had to know their little secret. Only the stars were witnesses to the blossoming romance between the two hunters from different guilds, different countries, yet had their hearts knew no boundaries.
Sungpark:
With her silver dress and long, flowing black hair, Ill-hwan could have sworn he had married a deity. Her smile seemed as though it was as bright as the full moon. And her eyes sparkled like the stars in the dark sky. She reached out to him, he gladly took her hand. . . And for once, Ill-hwan felt as if he was young again. Kyung-hye wrapped her arms around his neck and Ill-hwan gently pressed his forehead against hers, watching her close her eyes as he began to sway their bodies, listening to the music etched on his mind with a memory flushing in. Kyung-hye was in her wedding dress as his newly wedded wife while he was in his suit, standing together beneath the night sky, far from the reception to be in their own world. He'd do anything to be in that moment again. It was the moment of a sealed promise for their eternal love and Ill-hwan cherishing her as part of his soul.

"SL Ragnarok is a BL" just has to be one of the funniest things I've heard on a hanging threat like– mate I freaking wish but is there literally anyone out there in the SL world that wants Sung Suho as a partner?
Not a single girl with romantic interest has approached him in the span of 150+ chapters, it's definetly the same for boys.
Jin woo at least showed some attraction with JuHee and Cha at this point in the story, meanwhile the only thing on Suhos mind is killing.

Crazy for You
Baek Harin x Reader Fic.
Sypnosis: Desperate for Harin's attention, you tried to make her jealous that somehow ended good and bad?
Warnings: Kidnapping, Yandere!Harin, fluff at the end! (Part 1, you can read this or skip it.)
Requested by: @churim
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You’ve been trying your best to avoid Suji, ever since Harin confessed her feelings for you.
However, Harin has still left you on your own. Who knows where she is. It made your stomach upset because of the anxiety you’re feeling.
Maybe she was toying with you? Maybe she lost interest and got bored? Who knows. Your mind is clouded with doubts.
With nowhere to go, you decided to seek help from Suji. Maybe Harin will come out if you talk to Suji?
“Hey, Suji-ah.” You waved to her. You were nervous because you ghosted her after talking with Harin. Suji is cold hearted to be honest and you expected her to ignore you.
“I don’t want to hear your excuses, Y/N.” Suji said as she walked away from you
Tumblr media
Harin is totally ignoring you. You tried to approach her but then Wooyi got in the way and pushed you then told you to “stay away”. She didn’t even look at your way even if you fell after Wooyi pushed you. She was overprotective over you before.
You don’t get it.
Last week, Harin just confessed her love and now she’s acting cold towards you now?
There’s nothing else you can do but follow and try to gain Suji’s trust; you failed miserably.
In the end, you felt helpless.
As you were laying in bed late at night, you realized that you got played because Harin knows you’re totally whipped at her with everything she does. You were regretting so bad for betraying Suji, and so disappointed that you fell for Harin’s sick manipulation.
An idea went to your head as you were laying in bed. What if you make Harin jealous on purpose? Maybe she’ll come out or if she didn’t care at all then it’s time to give.
You quickly jumped out of your bed and wrote a "love letter" for Suji.
Tumblr media
Harin is glaring at you because you bump into her, purposely.
“Sorry.” was all you said with no feelings at all before walking away from her, but in your mind, you were high fiving yourself because of your plan. When you bump into her, you let your love letter for Suji fall.
The love letter only contains about how you regretted liking Harin and that you truly wish that you were dating Suji instead.
That will do the work! You thought to yourself.
When you were out of sight, Harin picked up the paper that fell from you.
It has a kiss mark? Harin thought to herself.
Harin thought it must be for her not until she read the contents. She was fuming with rage, what was that she read about? You like Suji and not her? You regretted kissing her?
Oh boy, she felt like she could hurt someone on the spot.
Tumblr media
You were walking with Suji after school. Suji felt tired of telling you to go away because of your pessimistic manner. You don’t even want to talk to Suji at that time. You were just kind of wishing that Harin was watching you being all over to Suji.
“Forgive me already, Suji-ah!” You said while hugging Suji’s arm.
Suddenly, a black van stopped in front of both of you, and it opened. It opened! Four men crowded over the two of you and put a sack over your heads.
You tried to shout, but the unknown man put his hand over your mouth, in which you struggled to breathe. You felt like you were going to pass out from the restriction of air and the feeling of fear you have right now.
Why did you decide to go home late with Suji? You should have gone home right away after the bell rang! You were regretting everything. You felt Suji being thrown out after the van was driven away.
It’s getting harder to breathe, you’re hyperventilating because of all the things that are happening. With that you passed out.
When you woke up, you were tied in a chair. Your arms and feet are sore from the tight rope that is against your skin.
The room was dark, you were so, so scared. A shadow suddenly appeared.
“Mhhm!” You struggled against the cloth on your mouth. You were hoping that person would help you.
“Tsk.” was all you heard from that shadow, it sounds like it’s a feminine voice.
“Do you really like Suji?” Harin opened the light and it revealed her as the perpetrator of all these happenings.
You were shocked; can’t even move anymore. She was holding a knife, you really are so scared right now.
Harin walked towards you, with a knife in her hands. She removed the cloth that is blocking you from talking.
“Speak.” Harin demanded.
“I– I don’t!” You said before bursting into tears. You were so scared of her, you didn’t know that Harin is capable of this, she is crazy.
She’s crazy for you.
“Then what’s this paper about, hmm?” Harin waved the paper on your face, with the lipstick mark you left on and you can still smell your perfume that you sprayed on the paper.
“Harin, will you believe?” Your mouth was quivering from fear.
“Tell me!” Harin shouted, it echoed throughout the room. You startled from it, you’re regretting everything.
“I w–was trying to make you jealous. Y–ou left me on my own, I thought you didn’t like me anymore.” You managed to say with sobs in between them.
“I’m sorry, Harin, I like you. I do!” You said as you were crying really hard this time.
Harin’s gaze softens after hearing your explanation, but that isn’t enough to trust you again. She felt like you betrayed her.
“I was upset, I don’t want to be far away from you again!” You added. You felt like this was your last day. You should have eaten that burger you’ve been craving.
Unexpectedly, Harin lost the grip on her knife and it fell. She also fell, crying.
As she was crying, she held onto your clothes. She was hugging you too. It lasted about a few minutes before she regained her composure.
She picked up the knife again and this time, she freed you from being tied. When you stood up, Harin hugged you suddenly. You embraced her hug and rested your head on her shoulders, you felt tired.
“I’m sorry for everything, I freaked out.” Harin mumbled. She felt peaceful when you hugged her back.
As you can see, Harin isn’t good at expressing her feelings. She instantly lost it when she read your love letter for Suji and she felt like something needed to be done. She thought that if she kidnapped you; you could be forever hers.
That night, Harin explained to you everything. She told you that she was really scared of being in a relationship because she has trust issues that’s why she was ignoring you.
“I only have my eyes on you, Harin.” You reassured her.
You went home with her. She cared for the bruises formed on your wrists, she bathed you, and cuddled you on your bed.
“Don’t leave me again.” You said as you looked at her eyes. The room was dimmed, the source you only have is the moonlight and it shines right through Harin’s face.
“I’ll try to break my walls down for you, Y/N.” Her eyes were glistening. She’s so pretty but crazy.

Soooooo....yandere ji-hyeok and yandere ji-woj from marry my husband?
(Of-course, apologies if it's a bit rusty...)
Tumblr media
Yandere!Ji-hyeok, Ji-won X Reader HCs
Tumblr media
Yu Ji-hyeok
Tumblr media
⊷ Okay, let's start with the fact that maybe he found with playing with the Pang and was immediately enamored with you, your personality, your caring nature, your beauty and introduced himself to you and took the kitty home hoping to see you again the next day..
⊷ Now it depends, if you came everyday after that, he would slowly build a bond with you and get your number and become one of your close friends, and if you didn't come like Jiwon..then he would still visit everyday hoping to see you bringing Pang with him!
⊷ Jihyeok, though definitely have a strong enough family is very much cared for you, he was always scared something will happen and the paranoia was horrible for his condition..he wouldn't sleep or anything, Huiyeong got annoyed at this and she agreed to be your friend to keep tabs on you for him so he gets his rest..
⊷ Jihyeok is never one to use his power as the grandson of a huge chairman, but for you, he definitely uses it to his advantage, like having you get into his sector, having you work side-by-side with him or Huiyeong!
⊷ Would never let Minhwan or Sumin get near you, oh hell no..He has seen those two hurt Jiwon, so he helped his friend and he knows those two will try to get close to you as well..he's not going to allow that!
⊷ Makes sure you're with him AT ALL TIMES!! He cannot stand being away, he will hold your wrists tightly (a bit too tightly at times..) and has a hand on your waist if he can't hold your hand...he just gets paranoid when you're not around....Don't ask why, he just does...worried someone will hurt you..
⊷ Needs to have you at arms-length at ALL TIMES! if that isn't possible, you have to be in his eye range, he isn't afraid to falsely accuse people you care about of serious crimes if it means you'll be under his control and under his embrace..
⊷ Huiyeong is also around you at-least 99% of the time, he has her gain your trust and tell him anything you say or think or do...everything is passed through her hands to Jihyeok.
⊷ Most definitely blackmails Minhwan and Sumin under the threat of revealing their crimes they committed to Jiwon and getting them fired if they even try to gaze at you!
Tumblr media
Kang ji-won
Tumblr media
⊷ Jiwon is more of a protective yandere so say the least...she knows people aren't the kindest in this world and you were with her since childhood and you comforted her when her father passed, when Eunho Baek confessed to Sumin and when Sumin overall embarrassed her but she was too dense to see through it...
⊷ Jiwon will makes sure any one whom she sees as a threat is somehow suddenly away from you or trapped in a very bad situation, Jiwon can pull a few strings...she's not dumb!
⊷ Jiwon cannot stand Sumin or Minhwan being around you, she will blackmail them and isn't afraid to reveal info to certain people..She definitely got Huiyeong and Jihyeok under her fingers to help her if anything goes wrong.
⊷ Jiwon doesn't know it very well, but she's a rather good manipulator and can use people's words against them, she is absolutely not afraid to manipulate you into depending on her or staying with her.
⊷ Makes sure you're safe at all times, has given tiny trinkets and attached some type of camera to it to see you at all times! She is also kind of a stalker at times to make sure you don't get hurt, she gives your...so she can keep an eye on you.
⊷ She will not let you be with anyone else other than her, she has been feeling as though she had been through enough and she will take whatever she deems she's worthy of and all that she thinks she deserves! And that includes you darling.
⊷ She isn't afraid to extinguish a life-light of one of your dear ones, by a little mistake of falsely accuse them of a crime...she is smart enough and has connections through Jihyeok and Huiyeong.

BONUS [ LIKEALOOK ] — mansion parties
Tumblr media
aeri uchinaga's mansion, gangnam-gu, seoul, korea.
WARNINGS ; intoxication, implied coercion, peer pressure, cheating, gaslighting, driving under the influence, drugs (cannabis usage), illegal substance use (5.1k)
Tumblr media
yoo jimin loved parties.
she loved the faint smoke in the air, blurring the dim lights as swirls danced around above the twenty-something olds in the house. the rum, although cheap, gave her a sense of comfort that she knew all too well.
the dullness, the nausea. everything was perfectly disastrous. a concoction of all her dreams and hopes that amount to nothing but a strained knee, and years of aggravation to be overshadowed by her junior.
but most of all, she loved the smell of weed. it was almost as intoxicating as the leers girls would give her, undressing her with their eyes as she walked across the room.
she was wanted. she was loved.
jimin knew it was just for her body, for her face that she just happened to be gifted with. she knew that people would wage war just to look like her.
she was yoo jimin.
she hated it.
she hated the weight of her name, the last memory of her father dangling in front of her, mocking her like she does to herself in front of her mirror. she hated her face, the world too shallow to see the girl beneath, exhausted beyond belief. she hated her anger, volatile and quick to rise, none of which she had (nor wanted) control over.
she hated it. she hated herself. she hated everything. she hated the divorce, she hated the volleyball net that always seemed too high, she hated-
"minnie?"
she knew that voice.
it echoed in the back of her head when she didn't run fast enough, when she didn't play hard enough, when she looked at herself in the mirror and all she saw was a washed-out athlete.
it rang through her ears and into her veins when she saw jang wonyoung... when she saw l/n y/n.
jimin heart dropped, and despite her entire body screaming - begging, she turned, the heaviness in her chest crushing the remnants of her heart.
"yeji?"
Tumblr media
y/n's anxiety was at an all-time high.
although part of her was ecstatic to finally stand her ground, a bigger part was terrified.
jimin was horrifying when she was angry, and y/n refused to see the sight of a blood-splattered, fist-shaped imprint on the wall again.
her eyes darted methodically, scanning the crowd of university alumni and students every few seconds before repeating.
once to the right, where choi yena was doing a keg stand near the kitchen (or trying to despite alexandra baek's very adamant demands for her to shut up and slow down), once to the middle where a sea of people crowded the entrance to the mansion foyer embellished with intricate swirls of gold and red, and once to the left where the room extended to a greater, much bigger hall that seemed to be the dining room.
there was no sign of jimin, and y/n didn't know if that scared her or reassured her.
"you okay?" minjeong grabbed her hand, squeezing it lightly.
despite the older girl's effort to reassure her, it only worsened the churning in her stomach. minjeong's icy hands were a reminder of her anxieties, and if it weren't for her iron grip, y/n would've pulled away.
"jimin's gonna kill me, unnie." y/n looked again. right, middle, left. "i shouldn't be here."
she's gonna kill me. she's really gonna kill me.
"you'll be fine." yuri grabbed her shoulder, smiling at the girl as if y/n's body wasn't screaming for her to leave the uchinaga residence. "just get drunk out of your mind and you'll forget all about her."
y/n shook her head, her palms tingling from the heightened fear.
being drunk meant lowering her guard, and that meant there was a higher chance of jimin seeing her.
y/n couldn't have a repeat of her last party at the uchinaga's.
"what if she finds me?" y/n felt like a colony of bees had overtaken her lungs.
minjeong looked at the two other girls, the worry etched on y/n's face setting waves of deja vu through them. she could feel the slight tremble of her hand, and the uncharacteristic waver of her voice.
she knew what this was. it was pure, unadulterated fear.
kim minjeong really hated yoo jimin.
"she won't." minju smiled, her eyes sincere despite the fear swirling through them. "we'll be here."
so will jimin. y/n couldn't help but think.
"yeah, unnie!" jiwon spoke up, her smile beaming past the others' dim ones. the younger girl was the only one out of all of them who hadn't truly experienced what jimin could do. "plus, i'm planning on staying sober."
y/n envied the girl, forgetting at that moment that she was dating the latter.
minju scoffed, her eyes rolling. "like i'm letting you drink."
jiwon glanced at her older sister, and that was enough for the girls' to know how the university freshman actually felt.
yuri crossed her arms, y/n scanning the right once more to hear the loud cheers chanting yena's name.
"you are such a buzz kill, kim minju."
minjeong followed the girl's eyes, grimacing at the older girl who seemed to be drowning in beer.
"the hell am i supposed to do?" minju's eyes scanned jiwon's face. "let her drink? she said she didn't want to."
jiwon looked at yuri, almost pleading with her to stop (or to continue. yuri wasn't that good at reading people).
"jiwon. baby kim." yuri squished the taller girl's cheeks. jiwon's face turned bright red, both from the proximity of yuri, and from the unsettling prescence of minju's anger. "do you want to drink?"
minju looked at her, an eyebrow-raising.
jiwon bit her tongue, not wanting to anger the older girl by commenting on how much she looked like their mom at that exact moment.
"um-"
minjeong's head turned back to the three, while y/n busied herself scanning the entire visible area for jimin.
she couldn't forget about jimin again. forgetting about jimin meant letting her guard down. y/n can't let down her guard, not when jimin is high, drunk, or both.
lily morrow knew what happened when y/n did.
"you can say yes, you can say no." yuri let go of jiwon's face, patting her shoulder lightly as smoke blew behind her. "but i'm only accepting it if it's your decision."
jiwon took a glimpse at her older sister, using the same guideline as she does with her mom.
one eyebrow arched was a warning, two eyebrows furrowed meant she was safe, and a frown meant she were in trouble for a light scolding. no expression meant jiwon was fucked.
minju currently had a frown.
"but minju-unnie-"
"fuck her." yuri inturpted, as if the vice president of the student council was no where near the two. "yes or no?"
jiwon stared at minju, trying to decipher her as y/n scanned the room again.
her sister's frown deepened at jiwon's hesitance, while yuri's appeared.
"...yes."
jiwon glanced.
minju had no expression.
"minjeong." yuri's voice dripped with pure happiness. "take her to the booze."
minjeong looked at y/n, then at yuri.
"why me?"
she didn't want to leave y/n when she was in this state, but god, did she love pissing minju off.
"you're the only one here that doesn't drink because of your ibs."
minjeong felt y/n stiffen, and for a moment she thought that the younger girl had seen the devil herself, but when she turned, y/n was staring at her... giggling.
"it's not ibs." minjeong felt her nose go red. "it's acid reflux, you idiot."
yuri shrugged, moving jiwon towards the older girl. "it still comes out of some hole."
y/n cleared her throat, and although minju was fuming, she couldn't help but let a chuckle escape.
"i'll kill you." minjeong let go of y/n, glaring at yuri as if her eyes were lasers. "minju, please stay with y/n so the yena groupie doesn't get her blackout drunk."
yuri punched the girl's shoulder.
"i think i should go with you." minju tried to reason, minjeong rubbing her arm as yuri stuck her tongue out at her. "jiwon's my sister-"
"i'll watch her." minjeong reassured. "i'm stupid, not irresponsible."
"but-"
"say bye-bye, baby kim."
jiwon grinned timidly, the dimple on her cheek not even showing. "sorry, unnie."
minjeong led the younger girl to the right, passing the keg stand that yena had absolutely failed at and making a beeline to the kitchen.
minjeong's eyes lightened as she ushered jiwon closer to what looked like spiked punch.
handing jiwon a cup, minjeong took a closer inspection at the pletohra of tiny, colorful bags with labels of THC printed on the bottom.
of course, the uchinaga family would have access to oversea's cannabis (not that minjeong minded).

thirty minutes later, the party was finally in full swing, the three-story mansion at full capacity, the bass of the built-in speakers shaking the it lightly.
zico played through the speakers while the smoke was starting to accumulate into a thick fog. the ceiling was covered in a light mist, flowing through the airducts and out to the many vents of the house. the smell of skunk was sure to stain the furniture for a couple of days, but aeri was sure that a couple (dozen) canisters of febreze would do the trick.
gaeul managed to squeeze the door open from the outside, smog immediately exiting as the other girl's entered.
"this is why you don't drink and drive, ahn yujin."
"i know." yujin blushed, closing the door with a sheepish smile. "we got it fixed though? plus the repairs are less than six hundred thousand won, so we'll be fine."
gaeul looked at her for a moment, rei shaking her head in the back as wonyoung scanned the area from right to the left.
"are you insane?"
"the road was blurry, okay?" yujin frowned, making her way in front of the shorter girl to push past the sea of people. "how was i supposed to know it was a curb?"
gaeul heard her name, and she waved to one of the girls that she had already forgotten the name of. she looked familiar, most likely from after a game, or practice, or class. gaeul couldn't remember.
yujin looked at gaeul.
"maybe with your eyes, unnie." rei rolled her eyes. she looked at wonyoung. "i hope y/n and them are still here."
wonyoung shook her head. "they might've left already."
gaeul scanned the room once more. ryujin told her she was gonna be here, and the setter wasn't in the mood to see her right now. her focus was on wonyoung, and getting the girl moderately tispy.
yujin bit her lip, looking at the tall girl with a frown. "sorry, wonnie."
"it's okay, unnie." wonyoung sighed, rei's eyes staring at the back of her head. "i don't think she even likes me, as delusional as i am."
delusional. gaeul knows that word too well.
gaeul turned to look at yujin, expecting her bright, puppy-like smile, but familiarity was something that was ingrained in her psyche, and there was nothing more familiar than the girl who ruined her life.
"she's delusional." yujin grinned, looking at the older girl. "right, gaeul-unnie?"
hwang yeji. all she saw was hwang yeji.
yujin stopped, "gaeul-unnie?"
she shouldn't have come today.
"hey, wonnie?" gaeul eyes were dull, just like the first day she met the younger girl. "wanna get shit-faced?"
Tumblr media
jimin wanted to go home.
she wanted to feel the comfort of her ikea duvet, and watch the shitty drama that she'd fall asleep to on days when practice was hard. jimin wanted her laptop, where she'd rewatch her gameplay again and again, dissecting every little mistake until it eventually tore into her self worth. she wanted the glare of her phone, her heart fluttering as she texted y/n.
she wanted everything but this, everything but the reminder of yeji.
"jesus, jimin." aeri hobbled the taller girl into the living room, greeting the people she passed. "it's only one and you're already slurring your words."
"she asked me how i am." jimin laughed maniacally. "who does she think she is?"
aeri frowned, her hand patting the small of jimin's back.
"can you sit down?" aeri sighed, leaning over as jimin toppled onto her beige couch. "i swear to god, if you throw up on my carpet i will kill you."
jimin smiled.
"is that a promise?"
"stop it." aeri brushed her hair out of her face, the volleyball player's eyes trained on the dome-shaped ceiling. jimin wondered if she could play volleyball at this state. "i'm gonna get you water. you better stay put or i'll shove a vodka glass up your nostril."
jimin hummed, not hearing a response after.
she wondered if aeri had left, or if she was just staring at the girl in disappointment. it didn't matter. either way, jimin knew she was the latter.
sighing, she turned her head to the foyer, the door opening slightly as a figure managed to squeeze through.
huh.
jimin stood up.
the girl was her height. her face seemed tailored, almost too perfect to be natural but jimin knew it was. and her eyes. she knew them anywhere. the tired, unsatisfied swirl of dissatisfaction was a trait that she too, held.
it was like staring at a mirror.
"hey."
"um," the girl looked innocent, and jimin couldn't help but smile. "hello?"
"you're nakamura kazuha, right?"
kazuha blinked at her. "yeah?"
"yoo jimin." jimin pointed at herself, trying hard not to slur her words more than she should. "i'm yunjin's close friend."
close friend was a stretch that jimin was willing to take if that meant she was going to get laid.
"oh?" kazuha didn't look convinced. "yunjin's never mentioned you."
"i swear, that bitch." jimin laughed as if her and the middle blocker were anywhere near speaking terms. "are you looking for her?"
"yeah." kazuha sighed, tiredly. "is she here yet?"
jimin bit her tongue. she guessed that yunjin's phone had died a while ago, seeing as the girl had been here to help yena and her stupid pack of helpers set up for today.
whatever. her loss.
"not yet." jimin shook her head, the younger girl somehow believing her. "i could wait for her with you if you want. there's some jello shots and fireballs in the sunroom."
the ballerina looked at her, scanning her face and stopping at her mouth. a hunger, jimin deduced, was what she was seeing in huh yunjin's girlfriend.
jimin couldn't help but mentally thank aeri for letting her use her lip gloss.
"i don't think i should."
jimin's dark, hazy eyes captured kazuha's.
"it wouldn't hurt." kazuha hesitated. it took everything in jimin just to push once more, to not leave the girl alone. "c'mon, you're gonna let yunjin have all the fun?"
kazuha looked around. it was wrong to entertain a drunk girl, especially when she was in a relationship. "uh, i don't-"
"kazuha-ssi." jimin smiled, her teeth never showing and neither her intentions. "i'm not taking no for an answer."
jimin watched the girl, and the party roared as kazuha came to her decision.
"just one shot."
"good." perfect, even. "now, stay close. i don't want you getting lost."
kazuha looked at the side of jimin's face, and all she saw was a ballerina's dream. perfection.
"thank you, jimin-ssi." kazuha blushed.
jimin couldn't wait to see how this played out.
"thank you."
Tumblr media
yuri had lost minju in the crowd earlier.
usually, the girl would've been aggravated, trying to find her vice president who seemed to like to wander the halls when she was drunk out of her mind, blabbering about her lover or something.
luckily, said lover had taken the girl away, and part of yuri finally understood why minju was so hung up on kim chaewon. the singer was always there, and so was minju. despite chaewon never saying the l word, her constant presence in minju's life was telling enough.
if only her and yena were like that.
yuri stumbled around, going through the pool entrance as a tipsy (drunk) y/n steadied her.
"alexandra!"
alex's face dropped as she talked to yena. "oh my god."
the international student turned to the very drunken girl, yena following her as if she hadn't just puked in the bushes of the uchinaga residence.
"holy fuck."
yena looked at her younger friend, wondering why she had kept this random girl away from her grasp.
she stood up, wiping the spit from her mouth as yuri approached. she needed to look at least put together if she wanted to pull, and not some alcoholic that got held back a year. behind her, yena recognized y/n, her cat-like eyes impossible to mistake for someone else.
yuri threw herself onto alex, as yena scanned y/n.
"aren't you wonnie's ex slash jimin's new plaything?"
plaything?
"unnie."
"what?" yena shrugged. the entire team knew about y/n one way or another, considering that jimin tended to dangle the girl in front of wonyoung like a dog treat. "is she not?"
y/n tightened her jaw. "i'm jimin's girlfriend."
"yeah, okay." jimin did always like them delusional. "that's what they all say."
yuri looked at y/n, part of her sobering up and ready to fight the love of her life if it came to (perhaps it would be a great story for their future kids).
"all?"
"unnie," alex nudged her. "stop it."
"what?" yena whined, tired of getting scolded by the younger girl. "she's not even jimin's type."
alex was at her limit.
"i will sew your mouth shut."
"no." y/n ushered, her brain not fully registering what was happening. jimin couldn't have been cheating on her. sure, she was an asshole, but jimin loved her, right? "let her continue."
alex closed her eyes, praying that yena would keep her mouth shut just for a moment.
"it's not my fault that jimin likes to fuck pretty things." yena muttered, her words loud enough to echo in y/n's brain.
"dude."
"it's not like she's actually jimin's girlfriend."
"are you dumb?" alex closed her eyes, yuri glancing at the younger girl beside her. "she is. and you just told her that her girlfriend is cheating on her."
jimin wouldn't cheat. she loved y/n. she was the one who stayed, the one who was there when wonyoung had left her many months ago. she was the one who held her close and whispered that everything was going to be okay as long as she had her.
jimin couldn't have.
"jimin's cheating on me?"
"um..." alex scratched her cheek lightly, unsure of what to do as yena undressed yuri with her eyes. "jimin likes people... things that look like her. so she can ruin them, i guess."
yena turned to her, frowning.
"should you be airing this out?"
"fuck yoo jimin." alex rolled her eyes, her brown irises glaring at the blue water in front of her. "she ruined my life."
"yeji ruined your life."
"she is yeji."
yeji. y/n had heard that name before, but never from jimin.
she had mentioned it in passing once, and jimin made her swear to never utter the word again. y/n held the older girl for the rest of the night, her thoughts lingering about who yeji was.
jimin told her not to worry about it, because it didn't matter. because jimin loved her.
"jimin wouldn't cheat on me."
"maybe she did, maybe she didn't," alex continued, watching as an exchange student from japan jumped into the pool head first. "but parties are her playground, and she doesn't stop at just one."
yena nodded, "she's like archie in riverdale."
alex turned to the older girl. "are you high?"
"yes."
"wh-" she should've stayed home and studied. "i'm going to strangle you."
y/n felt sick.
y/n turned around, leaving in a hurry to find the girl she was desperately avoiding since earlier. everything was wrong, and she needed wonyoung jimin. she needed her girlfriend.
"y/n!" yuri shouted, too tired to chase after her. she watched as the younger girl's figure disappeared into the crowd. "minju's gonna kill me."
"so," yena started, not caring that yuri's friend just had a massive breakdown in front of her. "wanna go somewhere private?"
yuri looked back at where y/n left, the sea of people erasing the girl's path without a trace.
minju was going to kill her, but she was going to kill herself for letting an opportunity like this pass.
"where the hell is aeri?"
Tumblr media
there was something therapeutic about being high and drunk at the same time.
it had the same feeling of a midjump, where jimin's eyes were above the net, looking down at everyone who looked down on her.
she loved it.
"kazuha-ssi." jimin asked, downing another shot. "how long have you and yunjin been together?"
"huh?" kazuha was clearly drunk, her hand placed comfortably around jimin's waist. "a couple months."
jimin hummed, leaning in slightly so the younger girl could hear her better.
"do you love her?" jimin's hot breath grazed the hairs on kazuha's neck.
"i dunno." she didn't. "maybe."
"i see." jimin pulled back, assessing the disappointment that lingered in kazuha's eyes. the opposite hitter moved her hair out of her face. "you're really pretty, by the way."
"so are you."
jimin didn't need to be reminded.
"want some eddies?" she asked, her hand feeling lighter than usual.
"weed?" kazuha's dark eyes met jimin's. "i thought you weren't supposed to take them when you're drunk."
"it's fun when you're not supposed to do things but still do them." jimin said, her hand dangerously high to the ballerina's thigh. "right, kazuha-ssi?"
kazuha looked at her for a moment.
"where are they?"
and everything fell into place.
"let's go upstairs."
Tumblr media
minjeong was a thousand percent high out of her mind.
she wasn't sure how much she had taken, but the way her head felt like it was going to explode was enough to say that it was too much. the colors around her seemed brighter, and she didn't know how long she had been lounging in the kitchen, but all she knew was people kept disappearing and appearing in front of her.
she didn't mind though, because jiwon was a talkative drunk, and everything that she was saying made minjeong want to pee her pants.
the girl looked at the five empty packets, wondering why they were all different colors and flavors.
"rei!" jiwon shook her, and it felt like she was getting time warped. "unnie, look it's rei!"
"yeah," minjeong couldn't stop smiling, despite seeing wonyoung. "i can see that."
"i was looking for you." rei frowned, earning a gag from yujin beside her. "it's been an hour."
"huh?" jiwon basically yelled, making minjeong giggle at her theatrics. "that's why my phone was dinging."
rei smiled. "are you drunk?"
"i think so?" jiwon grabbed minjeong by the arms, and the older girl felt them stop working. "minjeong-unnie, am i drunk?"
"yes." minjeong tried to nod, but it looked more like a bobble. "you are."
"where's y/n-unnie?" rei asked once more, wonyoung perking up despite minjeong's distaste.
"um, i dunno." jiwon shrugged. "she was with yuri-unnie and minju-unnie earlier i think."
minjeong leaned up, the weight of her head heavy on her neck.
her eyes made their way to the stairs, where she could see a faint smile on a familiar face, her hand wrapped around the waist of a stranger.
yoo jimin.
"oh." rei hummed. "so they're not here?"
"no."
"wonyoung!" minjeong could hear the taller girl getting called by yuna. still, she didn't take her eyes off jimin. "drink this, and let's go."
"i don't think-" wonyoung tried to protest, but yuna had already shoved the shot glass down her throat.
"drink."
wonyoung was dragged away, presumably to the front where a huge game of cham-cham-cham was happening.
"can you watch her?" minjeong looked at rei, yujin too distracted watching gaeul make out with girl #4 of the night to respond. "i need to see something."
"minju-unnie said to not leave me." jiwon frowned, her eyes wide like a cartoon character.
"then don't tell minju."
"okay."
Tumblr media
wonyoung entered the bathroom, both pleased and surprised that there were neither people hooking up, nor a passed-out girl in the bathtub.
she just needed to stay here until yuna had gotten tired and found another person to harrass (most likely haewon, wherever that girl was).
she closed the toilet lid, sitting on it as she grabbed her phone. wonyoung had only been here for an hour and her feet were already killing her.
the door opened.
wonyoung yelped, the stranger covering her eyes. "sorry, i didn't know that-"
"y/n?"
y/n moved her hand out of her face.
"wonyoung?" y/n world slowed for a moment, and it was almost as if her guard broken down. she shook her head. "i can't deal with this right now. i have to find jimin."
"what?" that didn't sound right to wonyoung's ears. she stood up, pulling y/n into the washroom. "are you okay?"
"i-" y/n's face was flushed red, the hairs on the back of her neck clung to her like a koala on a tree. "where's jimin?"
"i don't know." wonyoung said slowly, ushering the girl to sit down on the closed toilet lid. "do you need water?"
"i need to find jimin."
"slow down." wonyoung guided the girl, her delusions pushed aside for a moment. "sit down. please."
"i can't." y/n shook her head, almost vomiting at how quick she did. "jimin-"
"can wait." wonyoung stated, grabbing her purse as she rummaged through it. "water? lipgloss? tissue?"
there was a moment of silence, and wonyoung was afraid she had hallucinated y/n to begin with.
"do you hold everything in your bag?"
"maybe." wonyoung smiled at the earnest chuckle y/n gave her. "so what would you like?"
"water."
wonyoung nodded, handing the girl a bottle of spring water that the volleyball player always had at least one of. y/n couldn't help but smile as the taller girl opened it for her.
wonyoung was the same, and she loved it.
she handed y/n the bottle, the older girl taking a sip before closing it. she could feel the heat from her cheeks emitting against the cold air of the newly renovated bathroom
"did you ever cheat on me?"
"what?" wonyoung's eyes buldged out almost comedically. "no, oh my god. i love you. why would i? did you think i did?"
wonyoung paused for a moment.
did she just...
"no." y/n shook her head, smiling at her in the way wonyoung remembered. "i don't think you did."
wonyoung hummed, pushing the shower curtain aside as she sat on the edge of the golden tub. "do you think jimin-sunbaenim did?"
y/n shrugged. "i don't know."
she didn't want to know, because she knew that deep down, she had hoped jimin did cheat on her.
sensing the uneasiness of the older girl, wonyoung scooted closer to her, the chattering of the other university kids muffled by the bathroom door.
it was almost surreal, if not for the scrubbing bubbles that aeri (or her many butlers and maids) had left on the counter.
"do you like the party?" wonyoung asked.
"huh?" y/n looked over to wonyoung, her eyes glossed over with thought, as if a sheen had covered its entirety. "i guess. it's loud, i'm drunk. you know."
"i do." wonyoung chuckled, her eyes falling down to y/n's hand. there was a slight fidgeting, but it was fading. wonyoung continued to talk. "have you tried yena-unnie's cotton candy shot yet?"
"no."
"it's good." wonyoung had been forced to drink it earlier that week, along with soy soju, apple cider rum and fish sauce vodka. "it tastes like that chocolate we had during first-year orientation."
"i remember!" y/n's eyes brightened in a way they hadn't before. "the one in front of the spanish club sign-up sheet."
wonyoung looked at y/n.
embarrassed, y/n began to fidget once more. "did i remember it wrong?"
"no." wonyoung shook her head. "i'm just wondering how you remembered it so clearly."
safe. y/n felt safe and warm.
the swarm of bees in her chest had morphed into butterflies, and everything felt like a 90s movie, just how she liked it.
just how wonyoung liked it.
"i miss you."
wonyoung stared at y/n.
"what?"
"y/n!" minjeong burst through the door, her eyes red and her stance wobbly. "wonyoung?"
wonyoung looked at the older girl, before minjeong grabbed y/n in a rush.
wonyoung followed them closely, not trusting the inebriated kim minjeong.
"minjeong-unnie?" y/n could feel her wrist starting to hurt. "where are we going?"
"somewhere." minjeong shoved past the swarm, earning curses and complains in her wake. behind her, wonyoung apologized as she continued to tail them.
minjeong turned around. "can you leave us alone?"
"no."
"fucking bitch." minjeong's grip tightened, making y/n wince slightly. "this isn't your business."
"you're high out of your mind right now." wonyoung countered, minjeong's eyes dilated beyond belief. "i don't trust you."
"very fucking original, wonyoung." minjeong laughed, her anger getting amplified by the substance inside her. "you want a medal? or are you gonna trade y/n for that too?"
"unnie."
minjeong turned around, yanking y/n upstairs faster than she could keep up. "let's go."
the older girl turned the first right at the top of the staircase, the lack of people making y/n feel unsettled. she shouldn't be here, this wasn't her house.
before she could protest, minjeong let go of her arm and gestured to the door.
"open this door." y/n could hear faint moaning inside. "open it."
"i don't know-"
"open the fucking door!" minjeong shouted, making y/n flinch into wonyoung.
wonyoung shoved minjeong slightly, but not hard enough to provoke the girl.
"watch what you're saying."
"oh suck me a dick, jang wonyoung." minjeong rolled her eyes.
minjeong hated how wonyoung was trying to play the hero in the story, as if she wasn't the cause of the entire ordeal.
not wanting to anger minjeong any further, y/n creaked the door open, the occupants too lost in their own world to notice a pair of eyes watching them.
y/n had felt this before, the day that wonyoung had left her.
"jimin?"

—a tangcheong reincarnation ficlet set during the shaolin tournament arc 👍
»—————————–✄
Part 1 2 3
baek cheon didn't think much of the loud commotion being made in the audience stands as a large family entered the arena.
"huh? what's all that noise over there?" yoon jong voiced out.
the rest of the mount hua disciples turned their heads in the direction yoon jong was pointing at and they watched as people unabashedly stared at the person in the center of the group.
"you missing a cousin or something, samae?" one of the disciples joked.
the man in question looked closer to a tang than he did his own family members who walked beside him. whereas their hair were varying shades of light brown, his was dark and closer to tang soso's own color.
tang soso frowned, narrowing her eyes as she tried to peer at his features which were slightly too far to distinguish properly.
"I don't recall having any cousins in shaolin..." she mutters as yu iseol also tilted her head in question.
the man's gaze sweeped lazily across the arena. even from afar, baek cheon could tell that the man's gaze was contemptuous.
he didn't need to use his qi to enhance his eyesight to know that the gaze that was thrown towards the sect leaders' stand was absolutely scathing.
jo gul scratched his cheek. "he must be the rumored son of the zheng merchant family. see the crest on his robes?"
"what do you know of him?" baek cheon asked. he doesn't really understand why but a part of him felt like he had to be on-guard towards the strange man.
"not much," jo gul winced, "just that he's a bit older than us and that he...mildly poisoned one of the daughters of another family in sichuan."
"..."
they all turned towards tang soso.
"are you sure he's not part-tang or something?" yoon jong asked.
their conversation is abruptly interrupted by loud shouts cheering for shaolin.
the disciples of mount hua shared resolute nods as they began marching forward, letting the praises pouring out from the audience straighten their spines and walk more resolutely.
chung myung seamlessly slipped back into their fold, the money pouches he brought with him noticably emptier than when he had arrived.
it felt as if the cheers for them rang louder than those for shaolin. it was a very ovewhelming feeling and all of them could feel the pressure on their shoulders.
once again, they watch the reliable back of their sajil as chung myung finally sets foot on the stage, gazing up.
the current head of the zheng family was not influenced by the excitement that seemed to radiate from his fellow tournament-goers. rather, his eyes were locked on the face of his elder brother who he had never seen look as emotional as he did now.
there was disbelief on his face. he wore a strange expression which wavered between hope and doubt. unfathomable emotions swam in his eyes.
"ge, is everything alright?" he worriedly asked. "if you wish to leave, we don't have to—"
"no." zheng bo cut him off. "we're staying."
he shared concerned looks with his other siblings, but they silently agreed to let it be.
their eldest brother had always been distant, but he was never unkind to them.
they could never understand where the weight zheng bo seemed to always carry on his shoulders came from, but he never lashed at them.
they had never known zheng bo to be anything other than melancholic, so seeing the way the beginnings of a lively spark enter his eyes...
it was as if they were watching him transform into someone else for a moment.
"hyung...?" zheng bo murmured as he practically threw himself over the railing to get a closer look.
luckily, their youngest sibling, about the same age as the youngest second class disciple of mount hua, managed to pull their eldest brother back by the robe.
"zheng bo, what's gotten into you?" their mother worriedly clutched at him.
a string of incomprehensible muttering escaped zheng bo's lips. "...a descendant? no, he—a wife? no, as if..."
questioning stares were thrown their way from other audience members, but they were quickly distracted by the start of the deciding battle between the two finalists.
it was a battle that no one could have ever expected.
it felt too one-sided and the zheng family, as with the rest of the spectators, found themselves at a complete loss over the practically one-sided battle between shaolin's hye yeon and mount hua's chung myung.
there was heavy and glooming feeling charging the atmosphere. the previous racuous and excited cheers turned into silent feelings of apprehension and confusion.
“this is nothing compared to what mount hua has been through.”
zheng bo let out a pained, heartaching noise.
"ge," the second zheng son started, still lost. "do you know what he's talking about?"
it seemed to him that chung myung was talking about something beyond the prior slow decline of their sect.
zheng bo seemed to be too overcome with his own emotions to answer.
they all turned back their heads to the stage and were graced with the sight of a soft curve of a blade that arched beautifully, tearing apart all the golden winds thrown towards its weilder's way by hye yeon.
"beautiful..." someone in the audience behind them mumbled.
and it truly was a mesmerizing sight to see.
and it became all the more so when plum blossoms pink, an unstoppable multitude, bloomed from chung myung's sword.
tang bo crumpled where he had was standing.
happiness, guilt, and, most of all, /relief/ wrapped themselves around his heart—his heart which, for the longest time, for over three decades, had been hollowed and emptied out of any possible feelings.
"you're here too."
tang bo didn't have to be alone anymore.

Thinking about this AU again and then I went—
E-Rank!Jin-woo visiting his dad in the guild, only then to find himself admiring every S-Rank hunter in the building. Choi Jong-in's fire powers? Amazing! Baek Yoon-ho's beast transformation? Immaculate! Ma Dong-wook's gigantification? Utterly speechless! Lim Tae-gyu's sharp range of shooting? Impressive! Min Byung-gyu's healing skills? Beautiful! Eun-seok's agile and close combat? How badass! Cha Hae-in's swordsmanship? Spectacular!
In short, Jin-woo fanboys in the inside every time he sees them. Though, some of them barely notice him unless they recognize him as Sung Ill-hwan's eldest child. Ill-hwan offers Jin-woo for a spot in the guild so he won't have to freelance or join available hunting groups, which Jin-woo always refuses because he doesn't think he'll fit in them anyway.
Heh. The S-Rank hunters besides Dong-wook and Hae-in treating E-Rank!Jin-woo like a little brother:3

Queen of Tears (2024)

This is not an average love story. This is a tearjerker or one might say an exquisite premium cliche series with a beautiful or maybe painful portrayal of romance shared between a married couple?
It’s been quite sometime since I’ve been so thoroughly engrossed in a series and got drawn with a whirlwind of excitement and sadness. I found myself deeply resonating with the characters’ struggles and it kept me on the edge of my seat throughout. The way Kim Soohyun and Kim Jiwon perfectly embodied the character of Baek Hyunwoo and Hong Haein just left me in awe. They seamlessly blended into their roles as they were tailor-made for it. I can firmly say their acting prowess was cited as the only major reason for watching this series. 
I'm genuinely grateful to whoever conceived the idea of bringing them together. Not to say, their unrivaled and uncanny chemistry conveys a lasting impact and indeed leaves us yearning for more moments shared on screen. Their incredible dynamic, the way they execute the range of emotions from anger, longing, love, happy and sorrow really create an irresistible allure. The way Kim Jiwon plays the role of emotional enigma of Hong Haein and the way Kim Soohyun captivates with myriad of nuanced expressions of Baek Hyunwoo are truly breathtaking. It makes me impossible to imagine Hong Haein and Baek Hyunwoo other than Kim Jiwon and Kim Soohyun.
Their emotions did not even wane a bit despite its messy plot and a little vapid storyline in the second half. One drawback besides its cliche moments, there is actually an abundance of side characters story where it leads to so many things in the story to unfold and that is somehow not so necessary? These subplots can sometimes lead to several episodes where it can be bit draggy and we could feel there is lacking in the screentime of Haein and Hyunwoo. How I wish they would focus more on side stories of these two main characters instead of side characters stories. Amidst these shortcomings, I am truly grateful again for Soohyun and Jiwon for saving the plot and dragging the collar of this series by keeping our immersion into the storyline.
I love how there are a lot of foreshadowing scenes woven into the narrative.
I love how they always welcome us with heart-wrenching and heartwarming hugs.
I love how they depict familial love.
I love how they suppress the very emotions to fuel this series.
Alongside these, there are also parts where some viewers may find certain moments in the cinematography to be overly prolonged, such as extended close-ups of character’s faces. However, I believe these shots essentially depict how much time the characters have wasted for not looking at their partner, so they become lost by the track of time and engrossed in their own thoughts or emotions. We actually could witness their love begins to rekindle and there’s a shift in how the characters gaze and linger at each other.
The beauty of their acting synergies carries such sincerity that I found myself irresistibly drawn in, and all I could utter was,
"Can love truly be this beautiful?”
“Can one truly love someone in such a way?”
Truly, I'm at a loss for words when it comes to expanding upon the essence of true love or perhaps even articulating the depths of emotions where one would willingly sacrifice everything when the life of the person they love was on the line. But their acting prowess and stellar performance keeps on drawing me into the moment and I could truly feel love is in the air.
This is undoubtedly an ode to the tapestry of life, love and loss. 
This series will be etched into my heart forever.
Rest in love, Hyunwoo and Haein.
Thank you, Hong Haein.
Thank you, Baek Hyunwoo.
Thank you, Queen of Tears.
What a series.

being with someone like march is like going on an adventure without really going on one yourself. surely it would feel that way if your partner was an intergalactic traveler, who liked to constantly share about her journeys with you all the time. her trusty camera and phone will always be there to capture various moments of her adventures with her fellow crewmates, ranging from the mundane to the absolutely wild (the amount of photos you’ve received wherein it was apparent they were in the middle of a mission, it’s astonishing).
video calls were also a common occurrence as well, sometimes as a means for her to play as a virtual tour guide for you or  just catch up with her during downtimes. either way you always look forward to these moments.
you truly appreciate the effort march always puts into making you feel included in her adventures, getting to see even just a glimpse of the vastness of the universe you’ve also longed to see. you’ve even become acquainted with the other members of the astral express, becoming familiar and friendly with all of them to a point they’ve considered you an honorary member of the crew (they also promised that you’re always free to join them if you so choose to partake in trailblazing as well).
and so through your lover you also get to be a part of their missions, be embroiled in the numerous intergalactic gossip, meet new people along the way, and feel as though you’re never really apart.
being with march also meant that there is a comfortable sort of stasis encompassing the relationship. stasis in the sense that no matter how far apart you’ve been from one another in such a long time, the very nature of your relationship, how you interact with one another, and how you’ve come to know each other does not change whatsoever. it is a testament to the strength someone like her possesses, not letting things change between you just because she’s no longer beside you.
it’s evident in the way you still go about your interactions, almost as if you aren’t galaxies apart. the initial insecurity of how such a massive distance will change you both and the relationship was quelled just as easily as it had formed in your mind, with the both of you just as naturally going about everything just like how you both easily fell in love. 
people always warn you that lovers who stay apart from one another are an easy breeding ground for them to become strangers eventually, but it’s not like that with march. there is no room for either of you to become estranged, not with the constant updates, efforts to always include one another in activities, making time for little virtual dates, and never once changing in spite of the distance that people said will break you apart.
and although she may have left your home planet a long time ago already, only making the occasional stops when they can, it’s never felt like she was ever gone in the first place to begin with. 
Tumblr media
it isn’t easy being born yesterday, abandoned by your mom, be found by strangers, said strangers then inform you that you have the cancer of all worlds implanted in you, and now you join said strangers to travel across the stars-and oh yeah you’re hailed as the savior of an entire planet, and you’ve become an esteemed personality aboard a starfaring ship. well for most normal people the aforementioned things definitely are not an easy feat to accomplish, and that’s without taking into account that those things aren’t so far apart in the timeline of someone’s life. but stelle isn’t just anyone, if you weren’t paying close attention she’s somewhat of an anomaly but also a bigshot already. 
somehow preternaturally gifted in combat, has a knack for getting into mischief, already finding themselves in world changing events, and being the talk of the town wherever she goes-that’s your stelle for you alright. a lot of people are awed by her, either by her talent in fighting, the ability to say the wrong things at the wrong time, or by just being the gremlin that they are; stelle is never without some admirers (and detractors) along the way. 
being such a hotshot would surely get in someone’s head, no? not her though, no one can really quite grasp what’s going inside their head (except you). always sporting a cool and indifferent look on her always-even when in the midst of imminent danger-stelle is able to keep her composure in check. never letting nary a speck of emotion taint their visage, thus never giving others an insight to what they may think or feel.
it makes them seem like that she’s unbothered by everything that surrounds her, but you most certainly know that that isn’t the case. it’s quite evident to you how much is brewing inside stelle, but can’t really let them out one way or another. with news spreading of how immensely capable stelle is, it’s no surprise that people have sought her out for whatever they need help with. running from one point to another, shouldering other people’s workload, getting caught up in others’ personal affairs; it’s a daunting task for someone who’s already carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders.
“oh! you’re that trailblazer right? can you help me with something?”
“it’s the savior of belobog! just in time, come help us for just a bit”
“is it true that you’ve been helping the seat of the divine foresight with the issue about the ambrosial tree? that means you must know your way around the artisanship commission, correct?”
“trailblazer, over here!”
“honarary member!”
“stelle! do you have a minute?”
“hey youngster, you’re not just gonna stand there let them get away with it!”
“stelle, stelle, stelle, stelle, stelle, stellestellestellestelle-“
“breathe in, breathe out. slow and steady breaths, count to ten then name ten things you can see around you. you’re ok, you’re going to be just fine.” these words are what stelle keeps replaying in her mind, a reminder and comfort from you that has helped her in moments wherein she feels like slipping away.
she wonders how you do it, how you’re able to tell so easily when she’s starting to get bogged down with everything. be it through messages or calls you know when to help her calm down, soothing her frazzled state with gentle reminders and helping her get grounded again. 
in stelle’s eyes you’re basically an aeon, with your supernatural ability to always be a stable presence for her even if you’re both so far away from one another. even if she’s seen as someone who is cool and aloof (even being called a menace), you see pass through those and see someone who is still trying to get their footing in this world, and you’re willing enough to stand by her and be the unchanging pillar she can always rely on.
no matter the immense changes she’s constantly facing, stress she’s undergoing, or the turmoil that finds her, you’re an unfaltering constant in her life that she desperately needs.
Tumblr media
wonderkid, the boy from beyond the stars, the savior of belobog, general jing yuan’s esteemed guest, the underworld’s boxing champion.
those are just some of the many nicknames caelus has collected across his adventures, always seeming to pick up some more along the way. he is never short of admirers whenever the astral express stops, people instantly in awe of his innate martial prowess, his rather unique (for a lack of a better term) personality and charm, as well as his admittedly good looks.
they cannot help but stop and marvel at the grey haired man, drawn in by the various situations he always seems to find himself in and the sheer aura of confidence he exudes (not to mention that he has an affinity for…being a gremlin that may or may not dig through dumpsters and wayward packages). 
without a doubt caelus has become some sort of celebrity in the places they go to, with some even saying that his name recognition alone can rival that of super popstar ast rickley. even his haters cannot deny that that man can talk the talk, never one to just brag about things but not deliver.
it’s why even his enemies have decided not to take him head on, unless they really had no choice but engage him in a fight-although it isn’t really a surprise that caelus would come out unscathed each and every time. the boy from beyond the stars truly is out of this world (get it?), shaking up the systems of the places he touches upon.
even as his lover you are not immune to gushing about caelus, taking every opportunity to shower him with praises and affection (also because that boy is so easy to fluster, which is just the cherry on top). i mean how can you not? there is so much to him that just warrants all your attention, from his insane fighting skills to how utterly loveable he is.
don’t get him wrong though, caelus loves the fact that you’re not exactly shy with your love for him, but he also feels like he might just explode from all of your loving (not to mention the teasing he gets constantly from march and sometimes himeko). 
but for caelus that isn’t even the best part of being with you, even as fantastic as it is to constantly be showered with your love, his favorite part of being with you is how he can just be himself. no more is he the savior of belobog, the luofuo’s most important guest, the undisputed boxing champion-he can be just caelus, not some kind of otherworldly being that just sprung up out of nowhere, going on fantastical adventures and building up a reputation across the stars. even if you tease him from time to time about this very fact, he knows that deep down to you he is just your precious caelus, the boy you fell in love with when they happen to stop at your home planet.
with you caelus feels like he doesn’t have to be anything that anyone wants him to be, he just has to be your lover, your best friend, and your biggest supporter. it’s possible for him to just be another guy that’s deeply in love, with his significant other that makes him feel like he can take on the entire galaxy (he can’t but he’s getting there). your love does not require him to do anything for you to see him as something worthy of such affections, no need for him to wow you with anything to receive even just an inkling of your warmth. 
so while caelus will be constantly be collecting new nicknames, continue to outdo himself with each new adventure, and ultimately become some sort of celebrity across the universe, with you he’s just another boy in love.
