Same birthday as them
Masterlist
...
Bang Chan
Tumblr media
° Is the type to reschedule his own birthday so it could just be your day, but you will refuse his kind suggestions because you'd feel awful if you made it look like his birthday was just brushed aside like it's nothing.
° Let's you blow out the candles on the cake, smiling at you like a lovesick puppy which always makes Minho do obnoxious gagging noises as the other members join him and laugh. But Chan gets revenge on them, with frosting attacks.
° Gives the price with the candle in it, and will scoop up dollops of icing onto your piece of cake if you like frosting. And if you aren't a fan of frosting then he will steal the large amounts on your piece and put on his own piece.
° Always.. And I mean ALWAYS. Writes you birthday cards that make you cry, because he uses such kind words and makes you feel very special. Hyunjin will awkwardly pat your head as Felix clings to you like a koala.
"What words do you out in the letters to make her/him cry?" Hyunjin asked.
"Just the truth from my heart."
"Hyung she's/he's crying even harder now." Felix whispered, grabbing napkins.
Lee Know
Tumblr media
° It always ends up going the complete opposite way you guys planned on spending your shared birthday. You both planned on going to a hotel to spend a few days away from everyone and everything, and now you were Camping with skz.
° Let's you open your presents first, secretly eager for you to open the one he bought you. And will laugh in the member's faces, bragging about how he always buys the best gifts for you. He says it's because you share one brain.
° Tries to play the birthday boy card with you, saying 'baby since it's my birthday can you get a drink?' and you always remind him that it's your birthday too so you shouldn't have to do favors on your birthday unless you want to.
° Will poke frosting onto your lips before kissing it away, making all of the members react in disgust and cringe. Even though you both know they are happy you two are together, but they are still like family and will tease both of you.
"Get a room." Seungmin whined.
"It's our birthday, every room is our room."
"Felix get the water guns." Changbin ordered, preparing for battle.
Changbin (our birthday boi! ❤️🎂)
Tumblr media
° Very clingy, even though it's your birthday as well he will want to be babied as much as he can get. He'll baby you to return the favor, but please just cuddle him all day to make his birthday wishes come to life.
° Takes you out to a restaurant with no members, just the two of you dining together. He will insist on wearing party hats to the very fancy restaurant, getting weird looks from the posh and frugal diners that surround you.
° Even though he is sited earlier on being babied, whenever you suggest that you can help pay for the meal he always denies it and pays fully. And when whine asking why he's spoiling you, he explains that it's your birthday, you deserve it.
° Will rent out a hotel room on the top floor, taking a few selfies with you to post on instagram, captioning a long rant about how he feels so special to have met such a wonderful person who shares his birthday.
"You don't have to pay Binnie, we can go half-"
"I insist, it's your birthday you deserve it."
"But it's your birthday too."
Hyunjin
Tumblr media
° He shows you off 10× harder than he usually does, you simply did his hair in the morning cause you wanted to. And she showed it off to all of the members, staff, and fans who were watching the stray kids daily vlogs.
° The members will purposely celebrate you more for the first half of the day, just to annoy Hyunjin. But they always soften up and congratulate him too, making him go back to his usual confident prince aura.
° Wants kisses 24/7, and will become pouty if you deny any of them. Always whining, saying that it's his birthday wish to kiss you. That sentence alone always makes you cave in and kiss his adorable pout away.
° Will read your letters for you while you open the gifts, when it comes time to open his gifts you will return the favor and read the letters. Once he reaches your gift, without even opening it he will say it's his favorite gift out of them all.
"Now for the best gift of the night."
"But you haven't even opened it yet."
"I just know it is the best."
Han
Tumblr media
° Wakes you up with a birthday song, forcing his members to sing it with him and dance to it. The only ones who truly get into the song are Chanbin and Felix. You were a bit surprised to see all eight guys surrounding your bed.
° Will set a cute date in the JYP café, sharing your favorite pastry and his favorite pastry with each other. You two hoped to be left alone, but some fans decided to visit the café and give Han this huge cake while ignoring you.
° After Jisung began to notice more fans surrounding the building, he decided to take you back to the dorms where you could finish your pastries and drinks there. Even though it wasn't as 'romantic' it was still nice and calming.
° You both just have a relaxing time together alone, watching you favorite movies and ordering your favorite foods and drinks. Only going to socialize with everyone else when Chan calls for both of you to open the gifts.
"Happy birthday Han oppa, we love you more than anyone else in the world."
"Oh, thank you so much. Umm we actually should get going."
"OMG IS THAT HAN JISUNG OVER THERE?!"
Felix
Tumblr media
° You tell Felix every year to not just focus on you, but he truly just can't help himself. Which is why you woke up to a loud clang in the kitchen, to find your boyfriend baking you a birthday cake at 4 in the morning.
° You were about to scold him for trying to spoil you, but he just passes you a spoon with some of the icing and batter on it. You can't stay annoyed with you angel of a boyfriend, especially when you remind yourself that it's his birthday too.
° The reason you tell him to not focus on you, is because if you don't tell him that. He will go overboard, and spoil you more than a Kardashian. Which sometimes makes you feel bad for not spoiling him just as much.
° You both facetime your families together, opening up your presents in front of them and the members. Your mom is crying the whole time because she can't get over how happy you look and how you got with such a nice guy.
"I've never seen my baby look so happy."
"Aww, you are extra smiley around me."
"Can you please just open the gift." Changbin sighs playfully, waiting ten minutes over you two gushing over each other.
Seungmin
Tumblr media
° You struggle whenever it comes to buying gifts for Seungmin, just because he is so calm around you and always tells you that he doesn't care what you buy him as long as it's from you. He'll even say he doesn't need gifts.
° He's such a sweet boyfriend so you always want to spoil him, but he always manages to get a more heart wrenching gift than you do. Which is now why you are hunting down different stores with Hyunjin, who hasn't bought him a gift yet.
° You both rush towards the music store, when you bump into Seungmin. He is holding a couple bags full of stuff, and he can't help but smile brightly when he runs into you. Knowing exactly why you two are shopping.
° Hyunjin tries to take a peak at the bags to see if he could get any ideas from them, but Seungmin moves them away as he places a small peck to your nose before leaving the store. Making you lost with questions as to what he got you.
"Seungmin! Hi... W-what are you doing here?"
"Getting your presents ready."
"He's always ahead of the game y/n, I swear."
Jeongin
Tumblr media
° You both have a whole birthday week, giving each other small little gifts like candy and chocolates before the big day finally arrives. And that's when the members create this huge party for you two, going all out because they are whipped.
° You and Jeongin will steal some of the balloons and keep them in your room to play around with, playing balloon volleyball with each other when neither of you can get to sleep. He always wins because he slaps the balloon so harshly.
° Will have one last dance alone with you after the party. Both of you in your pajamas in his room as you sway back and forth to a soft slow song. You can hear him humming to song against your shoulder.
° During the party, he made the mistake of pulling you in for feverish kiss. Making Itzy, Twice, Day6, Ateez, TxT, Btob, and Ofcourse Stray Kids all start Hollering. You've never witnessed Jeongin blush so harshly before.
"Get it Jeongin!" Han yelled, making Chan slap his arm.
"They're all staring at us."
"That's because you attempted to French kiss me in the middle of the dance floor."

title: catch up now? 
× pairing: Idol!Jungkook x Interviewer!Reader, old friends from highschool kinda stuff, abandoned but maybe rediscovered love on both sides. 
× summary: Three years are a long time. In three years, many things can and will change. But three years hadn’t been quite enough to change how two people feel about each other. 
× warnings: a little teeny bit angsty but it’s nothing, really. Mainly fluff, some flustered, overly eager Gguk and old memories coming up. 
× wordcount: 2k
× a/n: Not gonna lie, this might be one of my favourite pieces I've ever written. I really hope you enjoy this too! it’s somehow inspired by ‘Love Maze’ (BTS) and also ‘50 Proof’ (eaJ). Will probably not have a pt.2
main masterlist | bts masterlist
Tumblr media
When he had read the name of the interview host - or hostess more like - Jungkook had already felt the familiar tingle in the pit of his stomach that he had thought had disappeared over the course of time. Yet, he wasn’t surprised that it was still there.
He had however not dared to hope that it could actually be you, there sure were other people called (Y/N) (Y/L/N), who has pursued their dream of becoming an interviewer, media person, whatnot. He didn’t even know if you had actually graduated uni and made it in the job, hence he hadn’t seen any of you in about four years of him debuting now. He had occasionally checked out your Instagram or Twitter, yet he shied away from following you on any social media platform. You weren’t really public about your work or personal life on both, you mainly retweeted stuff (he found out about your love for Bingsu and Makgeolli ice cream like that) and posted a few selfies or landscapes. He hoped that you had been able to pursue your dream of traveling around for a bit, in South Korea and outside of it. Though again, he didn’t know.
Jimin was seated right in front of him and Jungkook couldn’t help but nervously play with his hyungs honey blond dyed hair. Jimin chuckled surprised yet amused about his open display of nervousness and turned around slowly.
“Everything okay, Jungkook-ah? You seem more nervous than usually.” He remarked, making Namjoon look over to the maknae in wonder. “He does, right? I thought so too. Did something happen?” Jungkook only shook his head.
Not yet, he thought to himself.
The cameras around them started to blink all at once, the light has been set up correctly and the camera and sound team had settled down around them in the dark. Manager and publicists stood somewhere in the back, swallowed up by the dark. The only person that was missing still, was you. Or the person called (Y/N) (Y/L/N), Jungkook tried to tell himself.
Suddenly there was a soft laugh from somewhere off the scenes and his heart tripped over its own beat and finally, finally, you stepped into the light.
You looked pretty as ever, grown into your features entirely, like a lotus flower finally in full bloom. Jungkook had to swallow dry. The light coral red of your lip balm complimented your skin and the subtle almost invisible make up you wore, accentuated your already beautiful features even more. You hadn’t changed your hair much, but it was a bit longer and looked so soft in the bright light. His eyes almost subconsciously darted to your fingers, searching for evidence of a possible relationship. He was almost ashamed how quickly he ended up thinking about this, his own boldness making him even more flustered. (There was no formal looking ring on your ringfinger though, to his relief.)
There was a warm smile on your lips as you bowed deeply to them all, greeting them respectfully. The boys returned your greeting immediately and a bunch of annyeong haseyo-s sounded through the studio. Jungkook felt Namjoon look over at him again, a piercing gaze Jungkook knew he wouldn’t be able to withstand if he met it. So he just kept looking at everything but Namjoon...not that this was hard to do when you were right in front of him.
“Thank you so much for being here with us.” You said with a smile, looking at everyone with the same look of respect and polite distance. Like you were supposed to, at work, as a professional. Like you didn't know them personally. Everyone, including Jungkook.
He felt his heart drop to his stomach. Could it be that you...forgot about him? It couldn’t really be, right? How would you actually be able to, you really...in this moment your eyes crossed again and something flickered in your eyes, a facade crumbled for a few seconds only. It was an amused twinkle, like a cheeky wink and a minimal curl of your lips. 
Acknowledgement.
And Jungkook’s heart did multiple flips, breath caught in his throat and eyes widened.
You had started with the questions, keeping the conversation light and flowing. The vibe in the room was comfortable and built up on mutual respect - yet Jungkook felt as if he was sitting on red-hot needles. He wanted to talk to you, ask about how you had been, what you were doing (if you had a boyfriend) if you were happy, if you got a cat, how your mother’s little business was going (he’d anonymously purchased countless items, to support your family), if your favourite colour still was cyan blue and your still religiously bought Pajeon and Makgeolli on rainy days, if you ever spent a second of your day thinking of him (because he did).
Him, your somewhat ex-best friend from highschool, him, the one you spent hours talking to in the ungodly hours of the morning, him who you had lost your first kiss to (though lost wasn’t the right word: you gave it to him more like). Him who you had poked fun of when the first girl approached him in his Rookie days and he’d been flustered to no end.
Him, who had promised to you that he wouldn’t abandon your friendship and yet the two of you drifted apart anyways.
Not for the lack of trying on either side though. Jungkook’s schedule had just become even fuller, his nights shorter, training longer and fans more obsessive. And you had seen each other less often, greetings were shorter and late night talks turned into good night wishes over text quicker.
You on your part weren’t mad, a little disappointed maybe. Sad for sure, but not mad. After all, you had expected it to turn out like that. So had the rest of your little circle, Haneul, Hwang, Kyong and Myunghee. Whilst the five of you had supported Jungkook on his journey with all you’ve got, you all tried to overcome the obvious pain of him drifting off.
Some (mainly Hwan and Kyong) with working harder in school for example. You did that too, but sometimes you also partied a little harder, were awake at three AM a little more often, missed him a lot more. It hurt letting someone you love go.
Jungkook and you had always been a bit...closer. Why you didn’t know, how you couldn’t possibly explain. But you were and him rising into the heights and new dimensions of being an idol destroyed this almost completely. This strange world of fame, those walls of flashing cameras, the flow of expensive goods and seas of screaming people, that was his world. He was a star, figuratively and somewhat literally. He shone more radiant, higher, longer, prettier and too bright for an innocent, young love to coexist.
So you stayed behind, soon having lost his number due to him having to change it, his contact information soon had less to say than what you could find on the internet.
His new hair colour? Well, you could google it. Height? Current weight? Several fan sights knew the answer. Achievements? The internet again.
 It was strange, ridiculous to some extent. And it hurt. But you couldn’t blame him, so you never did.
When you had heard that you would be interviewing BTS last week you could help but feel scared. You hadn’t seen him face to face for three or so years, three years with no FaceTime, texting, three years of not seeing his bunny smile, smiled just for you.
And when you had seen him again, laid eyes on him for the first time in thirty-five months, you realised that nothing you ever felt for him had faded away. It was all the same again, your heart still jumped in your chest and your stomach still fluttered whenever he did as much as breathing. The only thing that had changed was his height and him having had the biggest glow up you had witnessed in your life, yours included – though this Jungkook would disagree vehemently. 
This Jungkook who got pulled out of his thoughts and memories almost violently, as you directed a first question at him only.
“I…” he started, gulping hardly, having forgotten the question already halfway.
“Sorry I can’t – how have you been?” you stopped shortly, stunned and a tad confused at first. You hadn’t expected him to be so bold. Or clumsy, for that matter. Yet you couldn’t help but giggle, and all the unsaid words and ignored truths between the two of you disappeared into smoke, taking all tension with them. Just like that.
“I’ve been fine, Gukie. Busy. Long-time no see, hm. How about you?” somewhere behind the cameras someone dropped a pen and there were multiple gasps being heard. The rest of the bangtan boys didn’t look any better; Jimin had his mouth open, Taehyung was looking back and forth between the two of you, Yoongi just froze, Jin and Hoseok had clasped their hands in front of their mouths and Namjoon just looked like someone poured a bucket of ice water over his head.
But Jungkook? Jungkook was smiling widely, his bunny smile, smiled just for you. 
“Busy too. Yes, very long time no see.” He replied sheepishly, a small laugh escaping his lips as he looked around the dead silent studio. “Why…how do you know each other?” Yoongi finally asked, eyes snapping back and forth between the two of you.
“Well I guess we have to tell them now. We know each other from back in Highschool. We were pretty close friends back then.” You explained softly, giving him a small smile. Jungkook nodded quickly. “My apologies. I didn’t wanted to completely ruin the interview but…I haven’t seen you in three or so years. Sorry.” You waved it off. “It’s okay, Jungkook. We will catch up later, alright?” Jungkook nodded, making the mistake of looking over to Namjoon, who looked like he finally understood everything. “Is that why you were so…never mind.” He ended in a mumble and Jungkook was glad he did.
The second the interview was officially finished and all the cameras shut off, Jungkook was on his feet and approaching you. He didn’t even care about formalities anymore as he just wrapped his arms around you and pulled you into a tight hug.
The first thing he noticed was that he couldn’t nestle his face in the crook of your neck as easy as he had been able to do in high-school. The second thing was that you had changed your perfume into something more flowery and fresh. The third thing he noticed was how much he liked having you in his arms again, especially because he could now rest his head on top of yours.
The first thing you noticed was how broad your Kookie had become. Broad and tall and firm everywhere. The second thing you noticed was how he smelled more expensive, faintly musky but still very much like Jungkook. A scent you could pick out from a thousand, unique and everything you loved. The third thing you noticed was how familiar and how looked after you felt in his arms, how protected from every harm. You had missed this feeling.
“Aigoo, Junkookie!” Jin yelled from behind, causing you to chuckle embarrassed and trying to break the hug. But Jungkook simply tightened his arms around you, having no intentions of letting you go any time soon.
“Just ignore them. They’ll leave, eventually.” His voice was muffled by the skin on your neck, since he had now buried his face there, taking deep breaths.
“And we?” you asked with a small laugh, not moving either. “We stay. We catch up. Got a lot of that to do.” Sounded good enough to you…just that you had expected them to make a bee-line for the exit after the cameras cut due to their busy schedule.
“Catch up now?” you asked after a few seconds of him still having his arms around you, unmoving. The young man shook his head.
“No…not right now.” He took a deep breath, hiding his face in the crook of your neck, mumbling against your skin and the fabric of your blouse. 
“In five minutes. Let me just hold you for a little while, you…you have no idea how much I missed you.” 
If he only knew.

I don't usually post this kind of life stuff, but today I finished my very first conquer challenge
In the past few months I've noticed some incredible changes within myself. I'm tackling my eating disorder, and actually bringing food to work now, I'm cooking food at home. And it might seem counter intuitive for someone with disordered eating to track their calories, doing it has helped me make sure I get enough food (plus I don't assign judgement to the calories. I never enter what food I'm eating, just that I ate). I'm keeping my space mostly clean (ok right now it's a disaster because Christmas stuff but it's getting cleared up next week). And earlier this month I bought an Oculus.
I had seen ads for these virtual hikes for months and wanted to try it. But I'm not an athlete. I'm not an active person. But that Oculus, combined with a great workout app, has been awesome. I aim to do 25+ minutes of cardio 5x a week and so far I've been killing it. I didn't hesitate to sign up for the year subscription, and that's when I remembered... The Facebook ads for Conqueror.
I grew up on the cusp of "participation trophies" before they really became widespread. During annual track and field time I never placed, and never got a ribbon, which only went 1-6. I resigned myself to knowing I'd never get any kind of recognition for what I could do. My first love is the elliptical, I could work on one for hours and not realize. But my house is only 600 square feet and I can't even fit a folding one in here. I'm good at elliptical training. It doesn't feel like a chore, or bring back memories of gym class where I have no stamina and no coordination. I never got awarded anything. And yes technically I bought my medal, but I still logged the kilometres. Based on their conversation chart, a minute of light cardio is worth 0.11km and a minute of heavy cardio is 0.14km. I split the difference and do 0.12km per minute as I don't have a ton of stamina yet. Plus all the steps I get from my fitbit go into it as well. So it has still felt like an accomplishment.
Conqueror recommended Mt Fuji as I'm a beginner and today I logged my final distance. To see myself finishing a fucking fitness challenge has me feeling overwhelmed in a good way. I did this. Over the course of 16 days I did the equivalent of 74 km. I did that! Both the online communities for Conqueror and SupernaturalVR do focus a lot of weight loss, I don't even register that. For me it's about moving my body in a way I like. And if I can't have an elliptical...
It's tough, wanting to share this kind of thing because a lot of fitness bros and such are extremely fatphobic and even if I worked out every day and always ate less than calories burned... I'll still probably be fat. And it's taken me a long time to accept that. I've been fat my whole life. And I'm sure a lot of my friends and family who see me addressing things in my life, like joyful movement, as a "oh she wants to get slim" thing, that isn't the case. If I don't lose a single pound, but have more stamina, more energy, and enjoy movement... Thsts a Win in my book. I'm rambling and I don't know how to end this other than... I'm really proud of myself for recognizing my accomplishments. Sometimes it's hard to see the big picture. Finishing the Mt Fuji medal helped.
I'll post a selfie once it arrives.

Spotlight: A Life Of A Troubled Celebrity Heartthrob Ch 3
Word Count 5,033
The first leg of the tour in the USA and Canada was complete and the next stop was Europe. Y/N had avoided Colson as much as possible and they had one or two brief run-ins but there were always people around. She had stayed at the penthouse with the others until they left for London.
So many times he had tried to call her, to talk to her, to try and get her attention but he always got cold feet. He had tried to get Jax to go and speak to her on his behalf, threatened him even but Jax wouldn't budge.
"She's a good girl and you're not worthy of her yet.. Leave her be." Jax said, causing him to become more frustrated.
"I always get what I want and I want Y/N. I'm going to get her with or without your help." He vowed.
"Why do you want her Colson? So you can hurt her? To ruin her? Just to stroke your ego?" Jax challenged. "Why would you want to pursue her when you have no good intentions towards her? You know you will go back to your old ways once you get what you want from her and ruin her for the next guy!"
"She's different from all the other girls I've been with.. I don't know okay??! I know I can't be faithful but I just want her!" He pulled his hair in frustration. "It may be for selfish reasons but -"
"Then what Colson?! After you promised to keep your distance you do a 360 and your hormones are taking over as usual." Jax bellowed, as he came face to face with Colson.
Daring him to say the wrong thing. He was ready for anything at this point. He couldn't understand why Colson would want to ruin a sweet, innocent girl like Y/N. Colson would never change for her-for anyone for that matter. It would take a miracle for that to happen.
Colson stared at him with his icy blue eyes and walked towards the window. He couldn't explain it but he wanted Y/N like he never wanted anyone before. Maybe it was in the way she looked at him, her melodic laughter, her natural beauty or her child like innocence. He couldn't quite place his finger on it but all he knew was that he had to have her. He was tired of being with shallow-minded, pea-brained girls that just wanted him for his fame and fortune-for his body. Y/N was just content with cuddling and talking or just sitting in a comfortable silence. He had never been with a woman that just wanted him for just him. They always had some hidden agenda-their career, money, sex-but Y/N had never exploited their relationship for personal gain.
From the first time he laid his eyes on her something inside him shifted. He had offered to drive her home although he knew that Jax was waiting outside. She was a mystery to him and he wanted to spend more time with her to try and unravel it. He had made sure to keep the music low so that they could talk-once again in his life he wanted to just talk to another person with no hidden motives.
"So tell me about yourself Bambi?" He had asked with genuine interest.
"Ummm..there's nothing much to tell." She twisted her fingers on nervously in her lap. She was shy. He decided there and then he would help her to break her out of her shell. He wanted to know everything about her but the ride was so short. There wasn't enough time.
"Then tell me a little?" He urged on.
"I-I..I'm a student at-uh- Cleveland State University..and I-want to major in music." She stumbled over her words and it made her even more appealing to him. Her long lashes brushed her cheeks as she blinked rapidly.
"My Dad-he died..three years ago and I live with my Mom."She said out of breath.
"Sorry..about your Dad. Mine is as good as dead." He frowned deeply. "But-your Mom? She's cool?"
"Yes-she's the best." She still wouldn't look at him and he wanted her to. More than anything he wanted to look into those big brown eyes.
He had pulled up outside her house and as she made a jump out he thought quickly.
"Hey, smile." He said as he put up his phone and snapped a selfie. It took her completely by surprise and she looked like a frightened deer in the photo.
"Let's try again?" She relaxed slightly and the next photo was definitely a Kodak moment.
"Do I make you uncomfortable??" His hand tightened on the steering wheel as he stole a glance at her. She was standing outside the car and boring a hole into the ground with her eyes.
"Yes." She squeaked. .
"Then we're going to have to do something about that Bambi." He chuckled as he stepped on the accelerator and turned up the music. She was going to be a challenge and Colson Baker always loved a challenge.
"Byron." He spoke through the phone. "I've changed my mind..I need you to set up that thing with Y/F/N Y/L/N."
"Sure thing Colson. I'm on it." Byron replied.
"One more thing-as soon as we get to London, make sure Y/N and I live separately from the rest. You think you can manage that?" It was more like an order and not a question.
"Consider it done." Byron said.
"Thanks Byron." He cut the call and smiled to himself. His plan was starting to come together. Byron could convince an Eskimo to by an ice-machine. Y/N wouldn't be able to say no once he worked his magic on her.
Colson went to take a shower with a self-satisfied smirk on his face. He was Colson-fuckin'-Baker after all. No one could say no to him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When they arrived in London their luggage was taken care of as usual and they were ushered to the waiting limo. By this time everyone was suffering from a mixture jet-lag, exhaustion, hangover and a dash of homesickness.
"Hey guys! Great to see you again." Byron was waiting to meet them outside. "I see you're all tired and stuff so I've instructed the driver to take you straight to Eaton Place. You will be staying at that penthouse for the next three days-then we leave for Paris. However, Colson will not be joining you this time he will be living at an undisclosed location-for security reasons."
"Any questions? Great. Go home and rest guys tonight will be a busy night." He turned to face Y/J. "Miss Y/L/N, you have to come with me. We have that meeting remember? This way please."
"Oh yeah, sure." Y/N turned to Ashleigh. "I'll see you later."
"Good luck. Call me okay?" They embraced quickly before Y/N went after Byron.
Not wasting a single minute, Byron dove right into it as soon as the car started moving.
"Y/N, you already know what this is about right? We spoke about it before and also last night on the phone." Byron asked.
"Yes but I'm not sure it's a good idea.." She said skeptically.
"I don't want to insult you-but what if I threw in some money to make it worth your while? Name your price."
"What? No! What do you take me for?" She cried out.
"Okay. Okay. Calm down," He raised both his hands. "What about an internship and a guaranteed job at XX Entertainment once you graduate? Sounds good huh?"
"Byron, I don't want to feel like you've bought me..Whatever job or post I get, I want to earn it. Not to get it because.." She felt so dirty right now and insulted. Was Colson behind this? She couldn't help but wonder if he was the one that put Byron up to this.
"Okay let's do this your way." He sighed and massaged his temple. "What't it going to take for you to go along with our plan? If not money then..should I appeal to your humanity?"
"Look..it's fine I will help-"
"Yes!" He threw his fist in the air in triumph.
"But on my own terms." She said firmly.
"Whatever you want Y/N. Name it and it's yours." Byron looked at her earnestly.
"I will only agree to this if you will allow me to call it off anytime." She swallowed hard.
"What? What do you mean?" Byron asked, confused.
"If I feel it's becoming to much for me to handle then I will pull the plug on this..thing-anytime-without notice. Any questions? Great." She opened the door and jumped out without waiting for a response.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The penthouse One Hyde Park in London was were Colson and Y/N would be co-habitating. Only she wasn't aware of this yet. She thought they were just coming here for a meeting to finalize their "deal", although she didn't want anything out of it. The house was a contemporary and modern property, sitting on over an acre with a large garden, set back, screened and secluded with automatic solid sliding gates. It had a roof terrace and jacuzzi. 5 bedrooms that overlooked the garden, 4 bathrooms, 4 reception rooms. The servants quarters were on the first floor along with a stunning spiral wine cellar. The property had under floor-heating, surround sound and electronic sliding curtains.
"Wow!" Was all Y/N could say as she twirled around the house in awe. Jax showed her to her room and turned to leave.
"Wait...am I going to be staying here? Where's everyone else?" She asked.
"I'm sure Byron will fill you in soon." Jax responded.
"Oh." Her face fell.
"Don't worry about your luggage Miss Y/L/N. I will send someone with it shortly." Jax assured Y/N. "Welcome to Colson's humble abode."
She felt like Belle in Beauty and the Beast at this precise moment. Surrounded by so much luxury and yet she felt so unhappy. She kicked off her shoes and threw herself onto the bed, where she fell into a fitful sleep.
Meanwhile Colson was pacing up and down his bedroom floor, trying to think of how to approach Y/N. He had never had to make a move on a girl, it was always the other way round. He was clueless when it came to girls.
"Byron! Jax! Get in here." He hollered as he leaned over the banister.
They came up to his room promptly and sat on the chaise lounge waiting for him to speak first. He was in a plain white t-shirt and sweat pants but still looked like he stepped out of a magazine. He sat at the edge of the bed and looked on them.
"Byron, any progress with OGB?" They had labeled it Operation Get Bambi.
"She's on board." He pursed his lips into a thin line.
"But..? He raised a perfectly shaped eyebrow.
"She wants it on her own terms..which she will discuss with you. But she's taking a nap now." He bounced his knee.
"Cool. I can handle that." He pushed his hair back and let out a sigh of relief.
He never expected her to agree but then again Byron could be very persuasive. He wondered what Byron had offered her in exchange for her help. She never struck him as a girl that could be bought but maybe he was wrong-maybe everyone had a price. His heart sank the more he thought about it. She was probably just like the rest he thought.
"So why the long face? I thought you would be glad-" Byron stated.
"How much?" He gulped and stared at the floor, not meeting Byron's eyes.
"She doesn't want anything. I offered her-" Byron sat forward and tried to explain.
"What??" He looked up in surprise, his blue eyes startled.
"I could have offered her all the money in the world but she would have still turned me down." He said dryly.
"That's my girl!" Jax grinned widely as he clapped his hands dramatically.
"Shut up Jax." Colson scowled but inwardly he was just about to burst with happiness. So he was right about her after all. He didn't know why but, he felt relieved beyond comprehension.
"Now you can see that I was right about her." Jax shot back.
"Whatever-is everything set for the concert tonight? What time is sound check?" His heart was racing at the thought of seeing her again, that she was under the same roof, sound asleep in the next room.
"Yes but I'm about to head over to Wembley Stadium now to check if everything is in order..so if there's nothing else..?" He stood up and straightened his suit.
"Nah, that will be all." He said with a wave of his hand. "Jax you can stay."
"Still up for the after party?" Byron asked as he stood at the door. They always had one after every concert at a five star hotel, but only the who's who of show business in the city were invited. It was strictly by invitation.
"What else do I have to live for?" Colson rolled his eyes. "But I'll just make a brief appearance for an hour or so, I really need to rest."
"See you in a bit." Byron saluted and left.
"So what's your game plan?" Jax pursed his lips.
"I thought maybe you could help me with that?" For once he looked uncertain. Jax's heart melted.
"If and a big if- if we going to do this then you going to have to change Colson. Otherwise I won't be a part of it." Jax said with seriousness written all over his face.
"Yeah, yeah spare me the lecture Jax." He gave himself a face-palm.
"Don't you roll your eyes at me, I'm being very serious right now." Jax said.
"Jax nothing in life is guaranteed man. People make up to break up and so on. You need to chill out man." Colson replied.
"Look I'm not expecting you to marry Y/N, ride off into the sunset, have adorable twin babies and live happily ever after. But if you don't have good intentions then let's drop it. You can have any girl you want Colson. Young and old, short or tall, they're yours for the taking. Just don't go and ruin an innocent girl just for kicks. That's just plain downright cruel."
"Why do you care so much anyway?? You don't even know her man!" Colson burst out.
"That doesn't make it right. You know what forget it. I'm out." Jax stood up but Colson pulled him back.
"Listen Jax, don't get your knickers in a twist..I hear you man. Now let's discuss this like adults? How do I get my girl?" Colson cocked his head to the side and smiled.
"Thought you would never ask." Jaxs' face broke into a grin as he sat down again.
Y/N's phone was vibrating somewhere on the bed and she finally heard it.
"Hello." She said, half awake.
"Hi sweetie. Sorry did I wake you?" Mrs Y/M/L/N asked.
"Hi Mom," She propped a pillow behind her back, "Don't worry I'm awake now. Is everything okay?"
"Yes. I just miss you that's all." She said wistfully.
"I miss you too Mom." All of a sudden she broke down and started crying. She was overwhelmed by a cocktail of feelings right now and she couldn't keep the tears back any longer. Hearing her mother's voice made her homesick and emotional.
"Hey honey? What's wrong? Are you okay?"
"Ye-yes." She tried to compose herself. "I guess I'm just tired. Haven't slept properly you know.." She sniffled.
"I thought you were having a great time? Did something happen? Is it Colson?" Her mother rained questions Y/N couldn't quite answer herself.
"No-yes I am Mom. It's been great. Colson's been great Mom." She reached out for a Kleenex and wiped her face and nose. There was a soft knock on the door and she asked her mother to hold.
"Come in." Y/N called out and immediately regretted it. Well kind off..
"Hey-is this a bad time? You're crying? Why? Is it me? Did I do this??" He rushed to her side and held her at arms length.
"No-wait.." She held up a finger to her lips. "Mom, can I call you back? Colson is here."
"Put him on the phone. I need to have a word with him." She demanded. Y/N was sure Colson heard that and her fears were confirmed when he held out his hand for the phone. She looked at him hesitantly then handed it over to him with resigned sigh.
"Hi Mrs Y/M/L/N. Colson Baker here." He turned on the Baker charm and there was no female on planet earth that was immune to it, so far anyway.
"Oh hi there-um-Colson." Y/N imagined her Mom fluffing her hair like she usually did. She had already fallen for the trap.
"I just wanted to thank you personally for allowing Y/N to come on this tour. She is such a breath of fresh air. You raised her well." He smiled at Y/N as he tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
"Oh thank you Colson. You don't have to say that." Mrs Y/M/L/N gushed.
"Anyway we got to run now, I promised to take Y/N for lunch and I'm a man of my word." Y/N gasped and he turned his back on her to keep from laughing.
"Really?? You don't have to! Surely you're too busy for that?" She asked.
"Anything for my Bambi." He said sweetly.
"Awww you even have a cute pet name for her?? You know they used to call her that in kindergarten?" She laughed.
"Really?? Why don't you tell me all about it when we visit this weekend?" He turned to face Y/N, her mouth almost hit the ground.
"You're coming over? Y/N didn't say.."
"It was a surprise but now it's out there." He shrugged.
"Okay let me not keep you then. See you then." He rang off.
"Explain Baker." Y/N crossed her arms and pushed her tongue in her cheek.
"Can we eat first sweets? I'm starved." He said with exaggeration. "Can we call a truce? No more mind games. No more ping-pong with feelings and let's learn how to communicate okay?" He held out his hand and she shook it. He would have preferred them to seal it with a kiss but he didn't want to get ahead of himself.
"So we're good?" He asked.
"Yes." She said with a smile.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Colson was lying on his bed but for the life of him he couldn't fall asleep. It was 3:00 am. He had sang his heart out at the concert, stayed very briefly at the after party and tried to get drunk but failed. Women had tried to entice him but he just wasn't interested. He kept his eyes on his prize all night. He even got jealous when a dark-haired guy approached her and engaged her in conversation. She seemed taken with him-they laughed, they smiled and even flirted. The guy kept her entertained most of the night and he saw them dance a couple of times. Finally, when he couldn't take it anymore he walked over and cut in. After the dance he faked a headache and asked Y/N if they could go home.
"Bambi? Can I come in?" Colson knocked softly on the door and got no response. He had a serious case of insomnia and this was his only remedy. All the alcohol that he had didn't seem to do the trick, even some stronger stuff-he was wide awake.
Colson opened Y/N's door slowly and found her fast asleep on top of the covers, her long legs overlapping each other and her flat stomach exposed. She was in shorts and a sports bra, her smooth, milky skin glistening in the moonlight, her hair fanned all over her pillow and her face looked so serene. He sat on the edge of the bed and lightly traced his fingers across her stomach and then up to her face. If it were possible, he could sit here and just watch her sleep all night but she would freak out when she woke up and found him staring at her.
Common sense told him to leave the room but he found himself jumping on the bed and snuggling behind her. Taking in her scent, nuzzling her neck and just reveling in being close to her. She was completely out because she never once moved. He gave a contented sigh as he put his arms around her and fell asleep almost immediately..
Y/N woke up an hour later feeling thirsty and tried to move but she was firmly secured in a grip. She woke up with a start and turned to see Colson sleeping like a baby. Just watching him sleep made her heart melt into a puddle. Her hand reached out on its own accord, to stroke his hair and his beautiful face.
A smile lit her face as she reached out for the glass of water on the nightstand. Colson Baker was lying in her bed in his bare necessities. He was right here with her and not some floozy or flavor of the night. This was the stuff dreams were made of. Her heart fluttered as she took in the sight before her again as she assumed her position once more. Their bodies fit so perfectly together when they were like this, if only it could apply in every area of their relationship. That's if you could even call it that. But a girl could only hope...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Y/N!" Ashleigh barged into the room, "Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry-I didn't know-sorry!" She covered her face and quickly backed out. The said couple were deep in sleep and were oblivious to the intrusion, fortunately for Ashleigh.
"There is such a thing as knocking you know?" Jax stood at the foot of the stairs, with his hands behind his back, as she descended in a hurry.
"I didn't know-" She said, her face beet red.
"You should learn to expect the unexpected when it comes to those two." Jax said with a knowing look. He had learned that the hard way.
"I didn't expect them to be..you know..Gosh I wish I could unsee that!" She covered her face, trying to hide her embarrassment.
She didn't anticipate walking into Y/N's room to find her and Colson half-naked and glued to each others bodies. After all how could Y/N get with him after everything he had done to her? She just couldn't understand it. But then again this was Colson Baker and he was beyond irresistible. I mean who could say no to that hot body? If Ashleigh was in the same position then they definitely were not going to be sleeping.
"May I interest you in breakfast per chance?" Jax asked as he led her to the sitting room, drawing her out of her nasty thoughts. "What brings you here so early anyway?"
"It's way after 9 Jax." She flopped onto the couch. "I need to talk to Y/N..about something.."
"Well, you just have to wait or come back later?" Jax suggested. "When ever they sleep together they have been known to wake up way past noon..and we had a pretty late night coupled with the heavy hangover.." He perched on the armrest.
"What do you mean "when they sleep together?" She looked at him suspiciously.
"I think I've already said too much-breakfast?" He stood hastily and retreated to the kitchen.
"I think I'm going to go then!" She shouted after him and followed him to the kitchen.
"Slow your roll there little lady. I'm sure they will be up and about in no time." He said. "What would you like the chef to prepare for you?"
"An omelette and toast-he can be creative but I don't eat mushroom." She slid onto the stool by the kitchen island.
Y/N began to stir when she heard a murmuring of voices coming from downstairs. She tried to turn but Colson's arms-and legs were tightly wrapped around her. Why would anyone want to ever wake up from this, she thought as she tried to sleep again but Colson had other plans.
"Good morning sweets." He said, his voice still husky.
"Hey." She said nervously as his arms tightened around her waist
"I could get used to this." He buried his face into her hair and groaned.
"What? Waking up in someone else's bed?" She turned onto her back and faced him.
"Your bed you mean?" He smiled and pushed her messy hair back so he could look at her face. Never had he wanted the female specie as much as he wanted her right now. Never had he slept in a bed with a woman and just traded war stories. He knew that if he made a move she would comply but he couldn't. There was more to him agreeing to keep from jumping her bones but she was clueless, and he hoped it stayed that way until he had dealt with the issue. He would take that secret with him to the grave.
"No ping-pong remember?" She was saying to him. Maybe dreams do come true, she thought. Maybe he was really into her? But then again there was no telling with Colson Baker. He was just to complex and she didn't have the energy to try and figure him out.
"Yeah, yeah I get it but-I think we've already crossed that line Bambi.." He looked pointedly at their tangled limbs. Not to mention her undergarments left very little to the imagination. She looked at their entwined bodies and fell silent for a moment. They were in quite a predicament-it was clear as the light of day.
"Well..you decided to invite yourself into my bed Baker. After you promised to keep your distance." She said in defense mode.
"..and you were purring like a contented cat next to me. You never really put up any form of resistance sweets." His blue eyes twinkled like the sea when they were hit with the rays of the sun. The liquid courage had worn off and both of them were now completely aware of their actions. She felt her cheeks redden as she looked at Colson's inviting body . Fortunately, Y/N's phone broke the awkward moment.
"Hey Mom." Nice save Mrs Y/M/L/N.
"Hey sweetie. I'm sorry to disturb you but the press has been camped outside my house for two days now and-"
"What do they want? Why didn't you say something?" She sat up and Colson looked at her with concern.
"I'm sorry sweetie I just didn't want to worry you. Plus they have been blowing up my phone and my practice has been overwhelmed. I know I'm a good therapist but this has just been ridiculous. I have had people make appointments just so they can ask me questions about your relationship with Colson. Even your friends Liv and Lisa are being stalked-it's a nightmare. Urrgh.." She screamed in frustration.
"I'm so sorry Mom. This is all my fault. How can I fix it?" Y/N said with determination.
"No, no honey, don't do anything hasty. I think I'll just take a well needed vacation to Bora Bora or something and I think I have a conference coming soon-" She sighed.
"Should I come with you? I can-"
"No. You stay put. Besides, that will do more harm than good." She murmured.
"So what can I do?" Y/N raked her hair with her fingers. Colson motioned for her to hand over the phone and she gave it to him.
"Mrs Y/M/L/N. I'm sorry to hear about your little inconvenience but not to worry I got it handled." Colson said confidently. Y/N looked at him in disbelief-who did he think he was? Ethan Hunt?
"Oh really?" Mrs Y/M/L/N was equally shocked.
"I'll get my team to come and get you out of there and set you up in a place where you will be secured and- where you can enjoy your privacy once again." He assured her.
"Oh no Colson, you don't have to do that sweetie." She protested.
"I want to. Please let me? It would mean so much to me." The Baker Charm was turned on.
"Okay sure." Mrs Y/M/L/N caved in.
"Great." His face lit up. "One of my assistants will be in touch shortly."
"Am I still going to see you guys on the weekend?" She asked.
"Yes. We will be there sooner actually." Colson confirmed.
"I can't wait." She squealed in delight.
"Okay speak soon." Colson rang off.
"Colson Baker did you just lie to my mother?" Y/N said in bewilderment. There was no way they would go back to Ohio and back again to Paris in time for his show.
"FYI sweets my Paris Show has been cancelled because of the bombing at Ariana Grande's concert. I'm not taking any chances and my security team has advised against it. So..we can fly to Minnesota then straight to Norway after the weekend. Easy." He gestured with his hands.
"You're too sweet. I could kiss you right now." Y/N said without thinking.
"Then what's stopping you sweets?" He leveled his face with hers.
"I- we-can't." She hopped of the bed and grabbed a robe. "So what you got planned for today?" His heart sagged, he expected her to be all over him. Most girls would have jumped at the opportunity-but not Y/N.
"Pack your bags Bambi. We're going to Ohio." He said as he left the room, his shoulders sagged. She really wanted to kiss him but she wanted to tread carefully. Things between them were complicated enough.

POCKET BOOK
' BESTFRIEND '
Carla Jean Timoteo
"Thankyou for the letter, Mr. Mailman" My brother Damon greeted and the mailman smiled and walked away to deliver letters in the neighborhood.
I walked towards my brother and get the letter. I went up straight to my room and excitedly open the letter. I am greeted by the scent of the paper used. It smells like a fresh chamomile.
My Dearest Selena,
Hi Selena i've been busy with my study lately. I had a really great day today until one of my professors, scolded me for being late at school. Anyways, i've missed writing letters for you. I hope you are doing fine and I hope you'll reply to my letter take care.
-Sky de Vera
Sky is a boy i met online, 6 months ago. He is from New York. I've never seen him in personal. I just saw his pictures he usually talk online but he prefers sending me letters that makes me so happy all the time. I keep on smiling the whole day. My heart is so flattered by the letter that sky given me. He's so sweet by his word he seems so very lonely and gentleman. Suddenly my mind was filled of doubt's what if his only a poser using other name and other picture.
"Hello brother where's mom and dad?" Asking my brother while walking toward the dining area.
"On a date?" He answered with a shrug.
I rolled my eyes and eat silently. After eating i went straight to the bathroom and took a bath. I read the letter that sky have given me once more and get some scented paper to answer the letter .
I am blushing while writing the letter. I crumpled the paper and wrote again, the words was just so cheesy and i should act like Maria Clara. I wrote one more time, writing like professional that it would never give him a motive that i like him too. I smiled after keeping the letter amd went to sleep and enjoy my remaining vacation.
I woke up early and took a bath. I went to the dining area and eat with my family.
"Goodmorning, Selena" my mom greeted.
"Goodmorning, Mom. How's your date with dad?" I asked. I was confused on how my mom looks when i asked her that. She looks pale
"W-well, it went g-good" she answered stammering. I just nodded and smiled. I continued eating while they are talking about bussiness.
I check the time and it's already 9:35am in the morning. I excuse myself because im going to mail officer to deliver my letter to sky. I went out with my small Hermes bag and took a cab.
I was on my way when i passed to a group of kids selling a rose. The kids felt my presence and they run towards me. I smiled and bought all of it and pay them a hundred dollars.
"Keep the change" I smiled.
"Your so kind Ms. and your --- beautiful" said the taller kid. I smiled ang wave them.
"Goodmorning Ms." the body guard greeted and smile. I went to the counter and gave the letter to the staff.
After that, I went to the nearest mall and my eyes caught a crowd of girls. I rolled my eyes and continue walking; suddenly I bumped into something hard and smelled a hypnotizing perfume.
My senses comeback and I realized that it's a man with a sunglasses and a cap and he's wearing a plain tshirt and a khaki shorts.
"Excuse me Ms." the man said and continue walking without saying anything .
I realized that he is the one being surrounded by girls and I saw the murmuring and rolling their eyes on me. I just shrug my shouldee and continue walking while still thinking at the guy I just bumbed with, he looks like someone I know.
After buying some stuff, I took a cab and went home. I was about open the door when I heard mom and dad , it seems like they are fighting, I immediately open the door and their faces turned on me with a surprise look.
"Are u two fighting" I asked. Mom immediately comes near me and hug me. I hug mom back and I heard her sobbing. "We're so sorry, Selena, We can't be togethee anymore. Me and your dad are having a divorce". She talked while facing me and held my shoulder.
I felt a tear of drop in my eyes. I'm surprise and I can't say anything but "Why?" Mom hugged me again "I'm really sorry selena. Remember when you said how's my date with your dad? We weren't having a date we are working the papers for our divorce. I love you and Damon, but i can't take this anymore. Your dad has a mistress and she is pregnant. I'm so sorry" She said while sobbing.
After the revelations and explanations. I went to my room and cry. I thought my dad loves my mom so much. How dare he for having a mistress and got her pregnant and he really have the guts to go home.
NO!
This isn't a home after what happened.
I opened my laptop and message Sky, thankfuly he's online. I saw a lot of messages from him. I said, I'm sorry and he replies. I told him about what happend and he was worried about me. I felt so sleepy and closed my eyes.
I woke up early and read the messages from sky. I took a bath and stay on my room and open my Arena of Valor. I started playing for about how many hours. After playing, I went to the kitchen and I felt my heart tightened because there are no other people than me. Maybe they are busy processing the divorce paper and my brother must be on work. I cooked lucheon and egg for my breakfast and eat alone.
Suddenly the door bell rangs. I open the gate and saw a smiling mailman giving a letter for me, I smiled and accepted it. I walk towards my room and read the letter; my heart suddenly beats so fast as i open it. I was greeted again with a scented paper and read it.
I am smilling form ear to ear after reading. I hope I'll meet him someday. He's going to be the one I can rely on, my savior and the one I can feel comfortable.
I realized it's been a month since i message d my bestfriend . She's on a vacation right now and she didn't even inform me on me what's happening about her.
I dialed her number , and I've tried calling her 2 times and she wasn't answering it. Hays i need you clair.
It's been 6 months and my relationship with sky is still developing. How i wish i could see him. I suddenly felt my heart and i realized I love him already.
I open my phone and message Sky. He replied and we continued chatting that i didn't realize that it's getting late and I need to wake up early, today is the last day of vication. I'm having my class tomorrow.
I went to our classroom and thank god our proffesor hasn't arrived yet.I seat and Erin came closer to me.
"Hello Selena" Erin said.
"Hello" I answered. She nodded and smile. She sits beside me and puts cosmetics in her face.
After class, I went to the cafeteria with my bestfriends Claire and Nazi; we weren't classmate because we have different courses.
We took our food and eat, took selfies and I send it to sky. After eating we went out next subject. After my class, i text Claire that im going home early.
I opened my phone sky messaged me, I was surprised on what he said. I jumped in excitement because of the euphoria that i felt at that moment.
Finally, we're going to meet in personal. Im so happy that i can't remove the smile on my face.
He told me that he is going here nextweek.
It's been a week and this is it, today is the day at look at the clock , oh my gosh its almost noon!
I stand near the entrance my eyes searched for him and i waved my hand. He smiled widely and ran to me when something really horible happend.
A man started shooting randomly and pointed the gun at me. I saw sky running as fast as he could toward me and calling out my name. That next i knew was that sky hugging me and I hugged back i knew there was something wrong at i felt something sticky on my finger. The two of us on the floor, his head on my lap. I cried for help but no one was paying attention.
"Don't you die on me, Sky! I won't let that happen" I yelled him. He weakly reached and touched my face. He forced a smile and tears streamed down form his eyes. "Selena, I saw you at last "
"Just-just hang on. I'll-i'll call for help" he gently pulled my hand, forcing me to stay. "Just ... stay ... Here i don't want you to die".
"I don't want you to die either "
He flashed another smiled at me and out from his pocket khaki envelope and smiled "You should read this okay? Swear that you'll never forget me"
"Don't talk like that"
"Just swear to me, please" I sighed heavily and I heard plead.
"I swear" after his said, his eyes shut and he stopped breathing.
"SKY? SKY? Don't leave me!! Please don't leave me" Then medical team came aiding the victim. Sky didn't revive.
I went home after the accident. I open my room and i open the letter sky has given me.
Hey Selena
I just want to tell you how glad I am to met you. May life changed since the day we started to talk and writing each other. I was really happy when you trusted me with your secrets and seeing advices from me to solve your problems. You're a nice person, a good friend; and we have the same interest. Take care your self always, Selena.
- Sky De Vera
I cried for almost an hour its too late for the two of us. He proved his loved by taking that bullet for me. If it weren't for gun man. There could have been a happy life. I lost the one I loved the one I loved for almost year. I started at Sky's photos. I muttered "Sky, I won't forget you; I promise" How I wish I've seen him before.
This story i've imagine before will stay as my dream. If only i could turn back time but everything is too late.

hi, raindrop!! sending you lots of love and hugs back!! 💞💞 well, we’ve been binge watching criminal minds together along with watching all of 13 reasons why for the past couple of weeks! and we went on a city day trip last week :D omg yes, stan taeyeon if you want to stan beauty, talent, and overall, an ethereal goddess 💖💖💖 omg you bought the entire set?? rip your bank account D: i think i’ll only buy one album because i’m not ready to give bighit all my money ahaha– but i still haven’t ordered yet akjsdfas (i’m currently taking a break from packing and will probably buy it once i settle into my dorm tomorrow) 
i just made a new playlist with those songs and am listening to them now!! i’m currently listening to And July and i really like it so far! DEAN also did a song with taeyeon (starlight) and i really liked his voice in that one, too! if you have any other song suggestions, i’d love to hear them!! and i’ll make sure to check out her mv’s after i finish packing everything 😅 oooh omg, i’ve heard of legend of the blue sea! my friends who watch kdramas really enjoyed it a lot as well, so i’ll make sure to add it to my list :D i think i might watch that one first since it seems to be more comedic in comparison to the other kdramas on my list.
yes, i played basketball! i used to do a few sports and dances before, but i stopped now. omg yeah, i absolutely adore any artist because it’s so amazing how they are able to put a piece of themselves on canvas so freely? like they’re putting themselves out there for everyone to see. and no, unfortunately, i don’t have any of my pieces posted on my blog- i can take a picture of a few and put add them in here when i get the chance!! i usually enjoy drawing/painting inanimate objects because i’m really terrible at drawing people realistically aha, but abstract art is also so much fun to make as well! drawing is really relaxing and stress relieving for me, so maybe it’ll also be relaxing for you if you decide to pick it up again? :D
yeah, it would be!! i’m searching for a couple tae, yoongi, or hyung line nets to join, so maybe we’ll be in the same network in the future? :D ahhhh, i wish i could see them, but i’m sure they’re really pretty!! i haven’t touched my about page in over a year.. i should probably change it up sometime. omg congrats!!! 🎉🎉 my sister also bought me a mac when i graduated, too; i guess that’s a perk of having an older sister ahaha and i’m so happy for you! hopefully, everything goes more smoothly with your new laptop and you can make as many gfx and gifs to your heart’s content 💗💗
i stayed up watching law and order: special victims unit and eating carrots with hummus 😅 i better fix my sleep schedule asap though or else i’m gonna be a mess and sleeping in my classes ahhh. omg what did you do so late?
and thank you!!! i’m excited, but also sad to leave my bed aha. yes, that is me exactly! i hate feeling so hot and sweaty during the warm weather, and that’s my favorite pastime during cold, rainy weather as well!! sipping hot tea with a good book in hand and in fluffy pajamas and a nice, warm blanket 💛 aksjdfhals but the way you describe each season is so pretty omg wow 💓🌸
i absolutely love animals in general ahhh i want a dog and cat in the future so badly. do you have a dog or any pets? :D and yes omg sushi is very delicious and i’m craving it now ajshdflja and oversized clothes is so nice and comfy, i love them a lot. oooh omg all those make me really happy, too! the sound of rain and feeling water pattering against your skin is so nice, and of course, space is just so magical and i love looking at the moon and stars at night. do you play the piano? and yes, food never fails to make me happy, too, and of course, mr. min suga and the rest of bangtan 💘💘
and thank you so much, raindrop!! akljhfalsk you’re making me blush so much 💕💕 and good night, raindrop! good night, sleep tight, don’t let the (rap) monsters bite, dream of food and dogs tonight ✨💤

I've Been Looking So Long at These Pictures of You -or- Why I Think Sometimes it's OK to Take a Photo of Myself
Tumblr media
(Self Portrait 2010)
My ex-boyfriend was an insanely jealous guy. He used to get crazy mad every time I’d post a photo on social media, saying “This is too sexy, this will make guys think you’re available, why do you need to post photos of yourself?” 
Those who know me well know I’m not a person who seeks approval or who sits around counting how many likes my photos get. But in recent years, I kinda started appreciating the importance behind capturing our own images of ourselves. 
I’m not a huge fan of the selfie era we live in; I’m not gonna lie about that. Every day I see countless selfies on my Instagram feed. Some are cute, some are funny, some are charmless or pointless or repetitive or just a bunch of people making a duck face in front of a lens. But let's face it, we all enjoy posting a selfie once in a while (or every five minutes), and there’s not really much harm in that. 
Personally, I prefer the other side of the camera. But other than the enjoyment of going down memory lane and remembering yourself in different phases of life, images of ourselves are evidence that we exist (or once existed). It’s proof we were once alive and here on this planet. I barely have any photos of me as a baby or a child, and I truly wish I had more of them. So today, I know I will one day wanna look back and remember what I used to look and feel like.
Tumblr media
(Self Portrait 2017)
This whole train of thought started for me in 2013 when I watched a remarkable film called Finding Vivian Maier. It’s a documentary about a guy who finds a bunch of secret self-portraits of a nanny named Vivian Maier (who was an incredible photographer, by the way). While employed as a nanny, she would secretly take portraits of herself, along with thousands of other incredible street photos. The filmmaker follows clues to find out more about Vivian Maier and discovers through the story of her photos that she was an incredible person—so much more than just a nanny—and a truly unique photographer. The self-portraits she took were so magical, so artistic, so mysterious, and I loved that. I was mesmerized by her, the back story, and the whole film. I loved that he discovered so much about her from her images. The photos of her short life told the story she was not here to tell.  
After watching that film, taking self images didn’t seem so narcissistic anymore. It suddenly became to me like a new truth, a new way to document life. I feel like perhaps self-portraits are a thing we all should do. Maybe we don’t have to post them on social media so excessively, but we should take them and have them once in a while as we grow old. To tell our own stories.  
I am 37 years old. Three years before I move to the next zip code, I realize how much I’ve changed the way I see myself, through my own eyes. So far, the thirties have been my favorite decade. I’m not a child anymore, I’m not a wild teenager, I’ve learned a thing or two, and I established a career doing what I love: taking photos. 
Most importantly, I’ve learned to get along with myself. Even though I might not live the life of a typical 37 year-old woman (or even a typical person), I feel more grounded than ever, and I think it’s important to capture all that somehow. 
We as people like to reminisce about the past. I don’t know about you, but I’m not looking forward to getting old, and I already consider myself way older than I’d like to be. I think about getting old a lot. I know it's a part of life, and that we must acknowledge it and enjoy getting older gracefully, but still. My younger self hated my physical appearance for many reasons. I hated my nose (damn, I still do). I hated being short (now I laugh about it and carry a step stool everywhere and also, as an adult I travel a lot and really appreciate the extra leg room on a plane). I hated my freckles (now I think they’re cute). I always felt a little chubby (now I do SoulCycle five times a week). So many countless things only teenagers and twenty-somethings dwell and care about! 
It took me many many years to like myself the way I am, or at least make changes to the stuff I could and accept the things I can’t. I’ve learned the meaning of having self-respect and confidence, feeling a sense of self-worth, and never expecting anyone else to fill any of the voids. I also learned that you can’t truly love someone or appreciate someone if you don’t like yourself.
I’ve also learned to push away those who don’t treat me the way I deserve to be treated, which wasn’t easy for me. In my perfect world in my head, whomever enters my life should never leave. I don’t expect anything I don’t give back, but I also don’t think it's right to seek who we are in the eyes of others. To me, taking photos of myself is accepting who I am and loving who I am and that's why I'm trying to take more of them as the years go by.

( Self Portrait 2006)
Now as I look at these photos of myself from past years, it reminds me how much I’ve grown and learned and lived my life to the fullest. No regrets. Those self-portraits are little reminders of how life truly goes so fast and we gotta cherish every moment of it. Total cliché I know, but hey, clichés are often true. 
There are still many things I don’t like about myself, but I’m at peace with who I am. It’s important to step back for a second from all the madness and distraction in the world, and take one tiny moment and appreciate who we are. Who we once were, who we became. Do we like ourselves? Is there anything we could do better? Do we spend enough time doing what we love? Are we good partners to the ones we share our lives with? Are we good children to our parents? Are we good friends? Do we care enough about those around us? Do we treat ourselves the way we deserve? 
And so I just bought myself a new Mac. And I’m here in a London hotel, listening to The Clash, typing all this on this glamorous shiny new toy I’ve been waiting so long to get. And I’m absolutely enjoying every second of using this fabulous new machine! Mostly, because I know I deserve it. I did good this year, I worked hard. And when I know I did good, I like to go out and get a nice present from me to myself. And even though it's nice to be loved, I don’t need a thousand Instagram likes, nor do I need a guy to promise me a diamond ring. I need to know that I, myself, think I did good.
So stop for a minute and appreciate your life and your story. Take a deep breath, pat yourself on the shoulder, and hey, maybe take a little selfie while you’re at it . . .
