Electric Love - Kim Seungmin
Tumblr media
Word count: 1.8k
Genre: Fluff
A/N: This is the eighth story in the Electric Love series. If you haven’t already, check out the others here. 
Tumblr media
You couldn’t believe it when Seungmin told you that he managed to get you guys tickets to see Day6. On the day of the ticket release, you and Seungmin had lucked out on tickets, but somehow, Chan had managed to get them. Unfortunately, but fortunately for you, him and his girlfriend can’t make it anymore, so he gave up the tickets to Seungmin.
You and Seungmin have planned this day out to the tee. You guys were going to meet up at your place in the morning, go out and eat brunch at some fancy place, and then head out towards the venue and wait in line until the venue opens. Then you and Seungmin will be singing your hearts out alongside Day6 and other MyDays.
Earlier in the week, you made Hyunjin come with you to the mall to pick out an outfit to wear for the concert. However, Hyunjin was no help at all. The only thing he did was annoy you by saying that you and Seungmin were going on a date. Hyunjin happened to be the only other person that knew about your little crush on Seungmin. He had practically forced it out of you. Hyunjin being the little dramatic that he was, he clung onto you until you were tired of him and eventually told him.
The morning of the concert, you had woken up earlier than usual. As you were getting ready, you played and danced around to Day6 songs. The makeup look that you had decided to do wasn’t over the top, you went for a soft glam look that would match the outfit that you picked. You had opted for a brown sweater with a collared button up underneath and a plaid skirt with white sneakers. You snapped the finished look to Hyunjin, and he responded with, “You look perfect for your date.” You send him back a picture of you rolling your eyes.
Heading into the kitchen, you go to make yourself a cup of coffee. Once you’ve gotten your cup of coffee, you sit by the kitchen island, waiting for Seungmin to arrive. You scroll through Instagram, checking out your friend’s stories. You see that Seungmin has posted something, and when you click on it, you see that he’s posted a selfie. He’s wearing a white t-shirt with a dark blazer and dark pants. Cute.
You hear the doorbell ring and then the front door opening, you that it’s Seungmin, so you stay seated. “In the kitchen.” You feel Seungmin’s presence come up behind you, “Whatcha looking at?” You show him the video that was playing on your screen.
“You ready to head out?” You get up and put your coffee mug into the sink. You see that your purse is already is in Seungmin’s hand, grabbing it from him, the two of you head out of your apartment.
The place the two of you had chosen to eat brunch at was a small little café that Seungmin had discovered. You guys had ordered quite a few things because you knew you were not going to be able to get dinner. Over the course of brunch, the pair of you discuss how excited you were for later on that night and you take a bunch of photos of each other that you later post on Instagram. Thanks to Seungmin, your Instagram feed was amazing.
After brunch, the two of you made your way to the concert venue. As you arrived at the venue, you had saw that there were already quite a few fans that were waiting. Once you were lined up, you had already started complaining, “Oh gosh, I’m so full. I shouldn’t have eaten the fruit.”
Chuckling, Seungmin responds, “Maybe you shouldn’t have eaten my French toast. Stop complaining, at least you won’t be hungry for a long time.”
You open up your purse and grab a little bag and present it to Seungmin, “Even if I did get hungry later, I have this.” In the little bag, was some snacks that you had prepared for you and Seungmin.
“Of course, you came prepared.” Checking his watch, Seungmin says, “We have five hours until they open doors.”
For the first hour, the two of you watch as the others at the venue do random kpop dances. From your place in line, the two of you dance along with them, well, more like Seungmin danced, you just sung along and did little movements. The next few hours, you guys play small games like I spy and rock paper scissors and make a bunch of small talk with those around you. Unsurprising to you, the wait in the line doesn’t seem long to you. Time with Seungmin always seems to go by fast. You loved being with him, being around him because he was safe space for you. That’s why you were afraid to tell him about your feelings. You didn’t want to ruin what you had in case he didn’t return your feelings, but you were fine with how things were, you didn’t need for him to like you back.
Eventually, your legs ended up tired from standing for hours, so you both sat down on the ground. Seungmin had offered you his blazer to sit on, but you had declined, not wanting to dirty it. Wanting to shut your eyes for a few seconds, you rested you head on Seungmin’s shoulder. The two of you were used to this position because when you were younger and had to ride the bus after school, you were always tired and Seungmin would offer his shoulder. While your eyes were shut, you heard a soft melody come from Seungmin, “What’re you singing?” you ask him, eyes still closed.
“A song I heard from Tiktok. It’s called ‘Electric Love’.”
“Keep singing it, it sounds good.”
Seungmin continues to sing the song to you. You swore Seungmin sung like the angels. His voice was so soothing, you almost fell asleep.
“Hey, don’t fall asleep on me now. We don’t have long until they open doors.” Seungmin was right, there was only a little bit under two hours left until the doors open.
For the next hour, the two of you share the snacks that you brought along. Chan and Jeongin had even called to check up on you guys. Chan telling you guys to have fun and telling Seungmin not to freak out too much. Jeongin had only called to annoy the two of you, but you guys enjoyed the call, even if you did receive a few stares from those around you when Seungmin and Jeongin started arguing.
As time got closer for the doors open, more people had arrived. To avoid getting trampled, you and Seungmin had eventually gotten up. Once the doors had open, people started pushing a shoving. Not wanting to get lost and separate from one another, Seungmin had offered his arm for you to hold onto. You try to hide the blush on your face as the two of you entered the door, only separating during the security check. After passing security check, the two of you rushed to the merch table. You guys had wanted to get t-shirts so that you could commemorate the day. Of course, waiting in the merch line was tiresome as well, but luckily for you guys it didn’t take that long to buy your shirts. After buying your stuff, the two of you headed off to your seats.
The seats the Chan had managed to get were pretty close to the stage, so you had a pretty good view of everything. Upon arriving to your seats, Seungmin had asked to take a picture of you with you with the stage screen in the background. Shyly, you let him and then you offer to take his picture. You barely managed to not scream at how cute Seungmin had looked in all of his picture. You thought it was completely unfair that he was this cute.
While waiting for the concert to start, you two start talking about what songs you couldn’t wait to hear. “Okay, but once I hear ‘I Need Somebody’ I am going to sob,” you tell Seungmin.
Chuckling, he says, “I think you’re going to start sobbing once you see Jae.”
“Okay true, but don’t act like you won’t be sobbing either once you see Wonpil.”
“I never said that I wouldn’t.”
Once the concert had started, you and Seungmin and the other MyDays started screaming. You had yelled out to Seungmin that you couldn’t believe that you were actually seeing them. When you had turned to him, the look on his face had told you that he was too happy to even listen to you. The first song they started off with was ‘Congratulations’. You knew that this song was extra special to Seungmin because him and Jisung and made of cover of this song and posted it on Youtube. Secretly, you listened to the cover every night because their voices were too heavenly. As the night continued on, you guys and the many other people there, sang along with Day6. When they played ‘I Need Somebody’ Seungmin had turned to you to make sure that you weren’t actually sobbing. Even when his favorite band was right in front of him, he still had time to worry about you.
Nearing the end of the concert, ‘I Like You’ started playing. This was actually your favorite song by them, even though you couldn’t do as the lyrics said. However, as you listen to Youngk’s soothing voice, you realize that you couldn’t hide your feelings for Seungmin forever. So, on the spot, you decide that you were going to tell Seungmin after the concert. However, your body moved faster than your brain did, so when you had grabbed Seungmin and turned him to face you, you actually had no idea what you were doing. Seungmin had the biggest smile on his face, and you wanted to be the reason for his smile. Gaining the courage that you needed, you grab Seungmin by his blazer and pull his body close to yours, closing the gap between your lips.
The kiss didn’t last for long because the second Seungmin had started moving his lips against yours, you had pulled away panickily. You couldn’t believe that you done that. ‘I actually kissed him.’  If you were to describe the kiss, you’d describe it as electric. A million thoughts were running through your head now, and you couldn’t even focus on Day6 anymore. In the middle of your internal panic, you feel a tug on your arm. Seungmin had pulled you closer to him and wrapped his arm around your waist. No words were exchanged between the two of you as you stared at him and he stared at Day6, but for you, words weren’t needed, you understood. You snuggle closer to him as you listen to the beautiful melody that floats around the venue, and if Seungmin asks, you definitely did not squeal when he planted a kiss on your temple.
“You know,” Seungmin starts as the two of you stand in front of your front door, “that song I was singing earlier today, ‘Electric Love’ that’s how I feel about you.”
Tumblr media

Hi, friends! I can honestly say that I’ve been on Tumblr for about 9 years, but only 7 of those months have been spent on this account. Being a part of this fandom means so much to me, and as cheesy as it may be, I’ve never felt so much love from a community like this. I think that I should spread a little love back to everyone through this festive follow forever post in the spirit of the holidays (there’s also a message for my beautiful followers at the very end, so bear with me). Although I may have not spoken to you all personally, you’ve made my experience here amazing!! Whether it’s seeing you on my dash or in my inbox, you’ve all made me smile one way or another!! I’ll admit right now that I’ve sent so many anonymous messages to you all because I’m really shy, haha. Not to mention, I follow so many amazing content creators, gif/gfx makers and fic writers alike, and I want to make you smile as much as you have made me!! Y’all are so lovely, and I’m not totally sure why anyone chooses to interact with me or to follow me nonetheless. Maybe you’ve read a fic of mine, or none at all, I appreciate you all the same 💕 I know some of you may be in and out of hiatus, but just know that I’m thinking of you!! And if this is the first time you’re coming across my blog, I guess this is a good time to introduce myself. Hi, I’m Teresa. It’s nice to meet you 😄
If you’re reading this, hopefully we can chat a little more.

Thank you so much for contributing to the writing community !! This online space is pretty hectic, especially as of late, but you all make it worth it. Even if you’re taking a break from writing, I am here cheering you on !! And to let you know that I’ll support you no matter what. I hope you never lose your spark for passion and creativity !! Sometimes life gets the best of us, and other times, things are not in our control, but I want to send my love and appreciation to you nevertheless. Your fics have inspired me to try my own hand at writing, and I’m forever grateful ✨ You’re spectacular, every single one of you, so never forget that!

This might sound soo sappy, but you’re the very first person I followed when I made this blog !! It’s because I’ve read all of your fics (perhaps more than once on my old account), and you inspired me to start writing as well. You have no idea how happy I was when you said you would get back into writing fics. I guess I’ll expose myself right now, but I’ve sent a few anons to you on the matter haha (yes, I am a 7 Chances enthusiast, one of many). You’re so talented, and I admire you so much 🥺 A gif maker and fic writer ?? Nothing you can’t do !! Among other things, you’re such a kind-hearted individual. I’ve read plenty of your text posts, and there’s just something so warm about the way you carry yourself. You deserve the world, and I wish for nothing but the best for you !! I hope you have an amazing new year and that you have space for peace, love, and healing. Please know that I support you through and through, and that you are well-loved ❣️
💌 @kitsutaes (@geniusguk) Yas !! I know we just started chatting, but I love getting to know you !! It’s hard for me to reach out to people because I’m shy, but I’m really grateful that you hit me up 😊 It’s been so nice getting to know you, and I hope we can get closer 💕 I’m already learning so much about you because our chats just flow from one topic to another !! You said you wanna visit new york one day, so I’ll hold you to that 😉 I’ll be your tour guide, and the only exchange I’ll ever need is your friendship !! Some dried mangoes would be nice too 😚 haha jk … unless 😳 I hope you have an amazing year filled with lots and lots of love. May you receive everything you’re wishing for !! 
💌 @starrytete Mirelle !! I’m still getting used to your new url LOL. But how could I ever forget you?? You are quite literally the human embodiment of an angel. You’re always spreading positivity, and I adore you with all my heart. I wish that I could be as radiant as you !! All the emojis that I’m using in this post?? An homage to you 🌼☀️ I don’t think I can ever look at emojis the same way thanks to you haha. Sending you lots of love!! I hope we can speak more in the future!! May the new year bring you happiness and good fortune!! Please take care of yourself, ok?! Message me whenever because my inbox is always open 🥰 
💌 @taesseok Mia !! I just love seeing you on my dash. I’ll give you a quick run down: Teresa: :[ Mia: *posts* Teresa: :] It’s like the universe knows. You’re a light in this world, and I hope you never lose your spark !! May you smile as often as I do (all thanks to you) 💗 I wish for nothing but your happiness since you deserve it and more. In fact, it’s the world that doesn’t deserve you and your sparkle !! I hope this year was rewarding for you, but I already know that 2020 will be better and better. I’ll be sending you lots of positive energy for the new year hehe 💞 Hopefully we can talk more soon !! I’d love to be friends !!
💌 @vminary Kiara !! I’m so happy that you reached out to me all those months ago because you’ve become one of my closest online friends !! I can’t tell you how much you mean to me because the limit does not exist. It’s so easy to talk to you, and sometimes our conversations are big sis/lil sis -esque (I’ve always wanted a sister lol 🐣). I feel as if we’ve taught one another so much, especially because of our cultural differences and the tiny age gap that we share. I find myself missing you because of the time zones LOL. In the middle of the day, I’m wondering whether or not you’re sleeping well :’) Why do you have to live across the world?? 😔 I would totally send you a package if I wasn’t broke haha. I’m sending you all my love here though, and I hope that’s enough !! 💛
💌 @yourdelights Destinee !! You are SUCH a sweetheart. The messages that you send me are so kind, and I don’t know what I did to deserve you. Do let me know how you stumbled across my blog because I feel like you’re way too cool for me LOL. Your posts are always so hilarious, and the tags have me dying. Your sense of humor >> !! My love for you is immeasurable, and I hope you know that, ahh. I think it was truly solidified when I found out you’re a fan of day6 and the rose :’) I’m not really a multi-stan, but from that moment on, I was sold. That was the only time my instincts did not let me down 🌹💝 I swear I’m getting introduced to new fandoms because of you haha. And when you went on a lil hiatus, I really missed seeing you on my dash !! I hope that you’ll be with us for a long time though !! I really can’t wait for what’s in store for next year, because no pressure or anything, but I’m sincerely excited for your WIPs hehe. I’m rooting for ya, so make sure you make the new year your b*tch !!  Lastly, thank you so much to my followers !! I see y’all in my activity, and I wanna let you know that I love you from the bottom of my heart !! At this point, I’m more of an update blog than a fanfic blog LOL :’) And if you follow me because you’ve stumbled through my fics, I just want to say 🤯 what?! It blows my mind that anyone reads my work, let alone enjoys it. I never would have though that I’d find solace in reading and writing considering I’m a full on STEM nerd. In conjunction with that, I literally started writing fiction 7 months ago to this day. I didn’t even realize that it would lead me to such amazing connections. With so many lovely people, popping in and out of my dashboard, inbox/DMs, and activity page, my heart b u r s t s with love!! Your interactions mean the world to me, even the most minute things like reblogs make my heart flutter. I really do check the reblogs to see if anyone has left a tag. Single words and keyboard smashes mean the world to me too !! Before I was a fic writer, I was just a silent reader. I always admired writers for the worlds they craft, the characters they develop, and the plots they devise, all for it to come together in one cohesive work of literature. Now that I have a vague understanding of what that’s like, I know that it’s nothing short of strenuous. Words are so powerful, and although I’m a really sensitive sap, I’ve read so many things that hit me to the core, and now I’m sure to tell the authors how much I enjoy their fics. If they went through hours (perhaps days/weeks/months) of drafting, writing, editing, and formatting, a quick comment from the reader really doesn’t hurt !! It’s the most rewarding thing a writer could ever ask for. As an amateur author myself, being on the receiving end is the thing that keeps me going !! I promise you, I don’t take any of it for granted. Your words seriously resonate with me, and it’s a huge motivator for me !! I hope that in the new year, I can work on new pieces for you all (as much as I don’t want to make up excuses, juggling life is not easy as a student!!) I always say that I write for myself, and as true as that is, I want to share my stories with you lovely people !! I pour my heart and soul into my work, and the build up of excitement is nothing if it means I can’t share it with someone else. So, old supporters, new supporters, look out for new content in the future. I hope you’re as excited as I am for the new year!! Please take care, y’all, and remember that I love you. My inbox is always open 💌 So let’s be friends 😇

Tumblr media
Over the following month, there was a lot of progress made. Sure, it was slower going than had you hired a company to do the work, but you loved the satisfaction that surged through you when the task was completed. And although there were endless complaints, there was a lot of laughter as well.
The house felt as magical as it once did.
There was progress in other areas as well; however, you weren’t so sure what to do about them. After the incident against the door, there seemed to be little moments almost every day where you were certain Brian was feeling something too. Sometimes he would hold your hand a little longer than he needed after helping you down off the ladder, and he would always brace things from behind you, his chest pressing into your back. If anything, this was half the reason you weren’t getting through things fast enough. It would throw you off a little, considering thoughts you once wouldn’t have ever dreamed of over your childhood friend.
Such thoughts kept you up at night and when you finally drifted off to sleep, you would dream of a life where Brian would be at your side forever. And not just as your friend either.
But in the land of being awake, you would always chide yourself. How could you fall in love with a ghost? It was easy to blur the lines, especially when he was no Casper the friendly ghost. He didn’t have a tail, nor did he float through walls or change shape to fit objects.
But he was charming.
And that was what clutched at your heart.
“What are you doing up still?”
You stopped in the doorway to the kitchen momentarily before picking up your pace, going over to flick on the jug to make the tea that had pulled you out of your bed. As you waited for the water to boil, you tried not to look at Brian, though you failed when you noticed how he cradled the mug within his hand. Your eyebrows knitted together and you turned to face him. “Did you make yourself a drink?”
“Sometimes I like to pretend I’m still alive by doing pointless things,” he admitted, shrugging his shoulders as a sign of his embarrassment. You liked that Brian would always tell you things like this, even if it made him feel foolish in your presence. Shifting the mug in his hand a little, he smiled. “Even though I can’t feel like I used to, having the mug in my hands almost makes me feel warm again.”
“It must be hard to just exist. To have no need to eat, sleep or drink, yet still have the urge to do it all,” you mentioned and Brian nodded. “I guess, it comes with habit, right?”
“You get used to it too. Although nothing bad will happen if I drink this, there’s no point if I do either. Still, now and then, I humour myself.”
You didn’t answer, swinging around to pour the now boiled water into your own mug. You took your time, his last sentence still hanging within the room. You edged around the counter and over to the table he was sat at, placing down your mug before sitting across from him.
And then you took a deep, steadying breath. “Is humouring yourself the right option?”
You asked this way, full knowing he would understand what you meant. At least, you were hoping he would. A small smile curled up the corners of his lips before he lifted the mug to meet them. He took a sip and you watched on, multiple emotions overwhelming you. This whole time, you had never seen them eat or drink once, though you knew they did still sleep. Jae was prime evidence of that. You were worried something would happen, and strangely a little excited by Brian doing something you would see as a common action with anyone else. You took a sip of your own drink, feeling for the first time in a while that you were sharing a moment.
Moments with Brian seemed to be all you had lately.
He looked up at you then, tilting his head to the side. “Sometimes what is deemed the wrong option seems like the only one I want to take.”
“Will you?”
“What about you? Out of the two of us, surely you should know right from wrong.”
You smirked. “You’ve existed longer than I have.”
“Mostly within this house, forgive me for being so sheltered from worldly experiences.”
“You can leave here, I’ve been with you when you have,” you reminded pointedly, referring to the errands you had run since moving here. You had done groceries, paid a couple of bills and picked up new supplies for projects around the house from the hardware store. Not once had you done any of this alone, and generally, it was Brian who would escort you.
His smile grew, and he pulled the mug up to his mouth again, taking another drink. “I never had any reason to step out of here until you came along.”
“Really?” Brian nodded. “Because of me?”
He held out his mug towards you and jerked his head in your direction. “Because of you.”
“Is it wrong?”
“Well, it’s not right,” he assured with a chuckle, still drinking away. “But why live so straight-forward, huh?”
You stared over at him and Brian smiled gently, reaching for your hand on the table. He gave it a small squeeze and you smiled, nodding in response as you held onto him tightly.
Life didn’t have one set of rules for everyone to follow.
Tumblr media
You came up with the idea to turn the large manor into a bed and breakfast. Tourism was the main attraction to this small township and with your degree in business management; you only needed to take a certificate in hospitality to open up the home as an enchanting retreat from the city. There was a lot of charm in places like yours, and after telling some friends back in the city about your new project, sharing pictures and videos, you had convinced them that the four hour drive would be worth it.
The only problem was, well, your current housemates.
“You’re letting people come in?”
“And they’re going to sleep here?” Wonpil added onto Jae’s question, the pair sharing an incredulous look.
You nodded brightly. “And eat and play board games and take walks on the beach. Life is pretty hectic out there. We could offer an escape from all of that. Most of the time, it’ll be weekend stays, though sometimes I’m sure it could work as week long stints too. All we need to do is offer people the right atmosphere and it’ll be great!”
“Uh Y/N, you seem to have forgotten, there is no we in this situation,” Dowoon pointed out, gesturing to himself and his four friends. “We can help you, but that’s because you’re special.”
“Maybe she was dropped on her head as a child,” Jae breathed, examining you from head to toe suddenly. “We can’t be sure if she’s special or she sees us because she’s a little damaged.”
Sungjin slung an arm around his friend tightly and shook him. “Are you saying Pearl was ill as well?”
“No, no, okay I get it!” Jae whined and Sungjin let go.
Brian was the only one who grinned. “I mean, if you do this, it means you’re staying, right?”
You nodded and this seemed to ease some of their concerns.
“Still, what if someone sees us?” Wonpil asked, his expression weakening again.
“It’ll be part of the charm. No old house like this comes free from tales.”
“You’ll speak of us?”
“Only if you allow me to. This is your house as well. I found the portraits of you all in the attic the other day. I planned on hanging them up around the house.”
“Now why would you do that, we look so weird in them!”
“Sungjin’s right, even I’m not fond of that idea. I put them in the attic for a reason,” Brian admitted and you grinned at him, reaching for what you had put behind the cushion earlier. Holding up the one of him, you began to giggle. “What, I think it’s charming that the Duke had commissioned portraits of those who were important to him.”
“You mean those who shaped his life,” Jae muttered, though he peered closer at the portrait, rearranging his glasses on the brim of his nose. “Wow, Brian. You looked dashing in this billowy shirt, my friend!”
“Shut up, yours wasn’t much better!”
“You are all the charm of this house,” you announced over their bickering and they turned to look at you. “If anything, I worry this place would fall down without you here. Please, at least try it out with me. If it fails, then we’re back to square one and I’ll have to figure another way to make money to stay on here.”
“You don’t plan to do the house up and sell it on?” Sungjin asked, his dark eyes hopeful. You smiled warmly at him, and then at each one of your friends before your gaze came to a stop on Brian’s.
You grinned. “This is my home, guys. What feels like the unknown right now, may just be what I needed all this time.”

1997 - first day of grade one
It was your first day of grade one. Surrounding you in the school yard, there were parents crying as they sent their children off into the educational institution for the first time, embarrassed children begging their parents to stop crying, and teachers talking to parents. The principal came out and called for everyone to find their new class using the lists on the wall. Walking over to the lists with your parents, you found your new classroom. Sending a nervous smile to your parents and giving them one last hug, you entered and found your name on a desk.
Once you had taken out your crayons and were colouring contentedly, a boy sat down beside you. Jaehyung his name card said, not that you could read it given you were in grade one.
“Hi! I’m Jae,” said the boy with a big, goofy smile on his face.
“My name is y/n,” you said, remembering how your mother taught you to introduce yourself. “Do you want to be friends?”
Let’s be best friends!”
“Forever?”
“Forever!”
2002 - last day of grade five
“...and that you be as successful in middle school as you were here,” your principal finally concluded. With the end of her speech, names were called for people to come on stage and collect their diplomas. When that was over, awards were handed out along with a few more speeches. Finally, finally, you and the rest of the graduating class were released into the waiting arms of your proud parents and relatives.
“Y/n!” A voice called and you turned to see Jae sprinting towards you, family in tow, stopping to catch his breath once he was in front of you. “We did it!”
“Only seven more years to go,” You grumped, wishing you could be free from the hell that is the school system.
“Oh, don’t be such a sourpuss,” Jae teased, lightly poking you. “Where’re your parents?”
“They went over to the food tables.”
“Oooo! There’re snacks!”
After eating your fill at the snack tables, you and Jae wandered off towards the climber in the corner of the school yard. Climbing on top of the monkey bars, you and Jae sat next to each other, laughing about something that happened in grade three.
Talking a moment to pause, Jae asked “we’re still gonna be best friends in middle school, right?”
“Of course,” you replied without hesitation, thinking it was silly for him to even think of you two not being best friends. You’ve been best friends forever! Your house was his house, and vice versa! Your families knew each other, and your moms were basically best friends, too! Of course you’d still be friends in middle school! What a stupid question.
“Just checking to make sure you won’t ditch me for someone else.”
2003 - November of grade seven
“Why are you friends with a boy,” your friend Kira asked, standing with you in the school yard. “Don’t you know boys have cooties?”
“He’s my best friend, and he doesn’t have cooties,” you replied. “That’s just stupid.”
“I just think it’s weird.”
“What’s weird,” Jae asked, walking up to you and Kira. “You ready to go?”
“Nothing,” you respond, picking up your lunch box. “Lets go.”
Walking home together was the norm for the both of you. Jae’s house was far away and his parents worked late, so he would come to your house, do homework, eat dinner, and hang out with you and your family until one of his parents or his older sister could pick him up.
“Kira says boys have cooties,” you explained to Jae, sitting in your living room, homework spread out around the two of you.
“That’s dumb,” Jae said, distracted by the paper in front of him. “What’s eight times four?”
2004 - October of grade eight
It was around this time when everyone in your class had a “boyfriend” or a “girlfriend” and was having their first kisses. You, on the other, had no such thing. Unsurprisingly, neither did Jae. “I’m waiting for someone special,” he would say every time one of his friends asked. “I just don’t like anyone enough to kiss them.”
Strangely, his statement hurt you. What about you? Were you not special enough for a first kiss? Am I that unkissable?
You decided to ask him.
“Am I unkissable,” you asked him one day at lunch.
“No, why’re you asking me,” Jae replied, looking up from his sandwich.
“It’s just - no one seems to want to date me,” you said, crestfallen. “It made me think that maybe no one wants to date me because I’m unkissable.”
“Listen, all of these ‘relationships’ last less than a week and the guys are just trying to get laid.”
“Oh.”
“Yeah,” he said taking a bite of his sandwich. “If it means that much to you, I’ll be your first kiss. If you want, of course.”
Well. That was unexpected.
2005 - grade eight after winter break
When you went back to school after winter break, you were absolutely dismal. Not only did you have to go back to this hell, but you haven’t spoken to Jae for two weeks. Over break, you had been with family and Jae had been in Buenos Aires, so keeping contact was a little difficult (though you did receive a postcard).
Walking through the doors of you classroom, you spotted Jae instantly. Upon seeing you, your best friend stood up and yanked you into a bear hug, crushing your ribs and lungs.
“Jae-can’t-breathe-“ You spluttered out, him releasing you from the bone-crushing hug.
“How was your break,” Jae asked.
“It was okay. I got your postcard!”
“Did you like the picture?”
“It was really pretty. Where was it taken?”
“Plaza de Mayo. You’re prettier, though.”
Hold up. Jae, your best friend since forever just said. That you, y/n, are pretty. Prettier than Plaza de Mayo, one of the most beautiful places you’ve ever seen.
While you processed his statement, Jae handed you a rather large gift bag with colourful tissue paper stuffed inside. “This is for you.”
Shaking yourself out of thought, you took the bag from him and pulled out the tissue paper. Inside there was a wooden box.
“Open it,” Jae encouraged. “It’s not cursed. Probably.”
Shooting him a weak glare, you reached in a pulled the box out of the bag. The box itself was the size of a small shoe box and made of a dark hardwood. Practically buzzing with excitement, Jae urged you to open it. Proceeding with caution and curiosity, you lifted the lid and peered inside, a jumble of random trinkets meeting your eyes.
“What’s all this,” you ask with a laugh.
“They’re things I found in the markets that reminded me of you,” Jae explained, cheeks turning a rosy colour.
Pulling out a small wooden fish, you ask why it reminds Jae of you.
“Remember when we went fishing and you caught a fish? You cried so much because you thought you’d killed it even though it was still flopping around!”
“Oh yeah,” you admitted, bashfully. Pulling out a smaller box covered in red fabric, you asked what it was.
“Open it,” was all Jae said.
So you did. Sitting inside on a cushion of the same red fabric, lay a necklace with a gold chain and a gold charm of half a heart. Gasping, you gently extracted the delicate jewelry. “Jae!”
“It’s a friendship charm,” Jae explained, bringing the other half of the heart out of his shirt. “I have the other half.”
“Why?”
“So we can always be together.”
2005 - November of grade nine
“What’re you doing this Friday,” asked Cody, the guy currently in front of you, attempting to ask you on a date. He was okay looking and somewhat popular, but you just weren’t interested in him at all.
“I have plans.” You did not have plans.
“Another time, maybe?”
Boy he was persistent. “I’ll let you know when I’m free.”
“Oh, okay. See you around, then.”
Thank god he’s gone, you thought, walking to your next class. Taking your seat, Jae plops down on the connected table, smile on his face.
“What did Cody want?”
“I dunno. He asked if I was free on Friday.”
“And?”
“I told him I have plans.”
“Do you?”
“Pft. No.”
“Okay. Cool. See you.” Jae hopped off your desk, still smiling and shooting you some finger guns.
That’s weird, you thought. Usually Jae stayed at your desk until the teacher told hime to move. Maybe he wants to hang out on Friday.
Friday came and you and Jae made the trek to his house (his tv is better).
“So, wait. You never got your first kiss,” Jae asked, completely shocked. “I thought - what about Matthew?”
“Nope,” you said, popping the p. Matthew had been your “boyfriend” for two weeks in grade eight. Jae had been right about the guys just trying to get laid, so you dumped his ass before you’d had the chance to kiss him.
“If you’re ready to take me up on my offer from grade eight, it still stands,” Jae said, ears turning bright red.
“I mean,” you said lost in the thought that it might not be so bad to kiss him, but worried it would affect your relationship.
Jae leaned in and, not seeing an objection from you, gently pressed his lips to yours.
Once he pulled away, you remembered how to breathe and briefly wondered when you had stopped walking.
“Sorry, I just thought that-“ Jae started to say, you cutting him off.
“Don’t apologize. I didn’t hate it, and at any rate, I should be thanking you for getting it over with.”
“So we’re still friends?”
“No.” A worried look crossed Jae’s face. “We’re best friends.”
2006 - September of grade ten
“What’re you doing this weekend?” Jae’s voice asked over the phone.
“Literally, nothing,” you replied, bored with your own mediocrity. “I kinda wish I’d made plans or something.”
“Well, do you wanna come over and maybe have a two day sleepover? My sister’s staying at her boyfriend’s and my parents are going on a mini vacation to a beach resort or something, so we’ll have the house to ourselves.”
“Oh! That sounds really fun, actually,” you respond, looking forward to long awaited time with your best friend. “What should I bring?”
“Snacks, clothes, toiletries, parent permission, and a will to live!”
After asking your parents, who easily agreed because it was Jae, and waiting not so patiently for Friday to arrive, you were walking up the steps to Jae’s house, ready for three days of fun with your bestie.
Ringing the front doorbell, you heard frantic footsteps approach from the other side of the thick wooden door. Swinging open with a loud cry of “y/n!” and a bone-crushing hug, you were pulled inside, barely waving “bye” to your parents. 
“C’mon in! The parents are gone, the sister has left, and you, my dear y/n, have arrived to casa de Park!” Jae exclaimed, already wearing his favourite yellow pajama bottoms. 
Shortly following your spectacular arrival, you and Jae were sprawled out across the living room floor in your pajamas, surrounded by blankets, and happily munching on the pizza dinner Jae’s older sister had ordered him before leaving (”Jae, aren’t you lactose intolerant?” “It’ll be fine, probably!” it was not fine).
At one point, you decided to build a blanket fort in the living room to continue watching your Disney movie marathon in the utmost comfort and eventually fall asleep in. While Jae was building said blanket fort (”Aren’t you gonna help, y/n?” “Nah, someone’s gotta chose what we watch.”), you were looking through his collection of Disney movies, deciding on The Lion King. Following the blanket fort construction, you made an executive decision to get ready for bed, not that you would actually sleep.
Brushing your teeth in the upstairs bathroom, you reflected on your movie night thus far. 1) The Lion King was not your favourite Disney movie, The Little Mermaid being your preference. 2) Popcorn is the food of the gods, ‘nuff said. 3) Jae was acting strange. Whenever you tried to snuggle against him like normal, he would shift away or make an excuse to get up. 
Lost in thought and washing your face, you didn’t hear the sneaky footsteps of your best friend coming up behind you. Jae, taking this opportunity to scare you shitless, did so by tasering you with his hands and yelling “boo!” at the top of his lungs.
Shrieking, you whipped around to beat him for being an ass. Jae ran off yelling “you can’t hit a guy with glasses!” repeatedly, running and hiding from your rage all around the house. 
When the two of you finally made peace and were settled in the fluffy comforts of the blanket fort, you went back to your Disney movie marathon until you fell asleep, Jae finally letting you lay your head on him and snuggle closer. You fell into a deep sleep, legs intertwined with your favourite person on the planet. 
2008 - March of grade eleven 
By now, you’ve had a long-term boyfriend. His name was Jordan and he was absolutely perfect in your eyes. 
Jae hated his guts. 
Whenever you had, time you would invite both of them over, only for Jae to ask if “Jordy boy” would be there and cancel if he was. As you and Jae spent less and less time together, an odd void began to form in your heart. Wether it was from missing the company of your best friend or something else you hadn’t quite figured out yet, it still hurt to not have Jae around you. 
After a few months and a “long distance relationship” over winter break, you and Jordan broke up. Jae, being the amazing and caring best friend he was, saw how devastated you were and spent more and more time with you, seemingly to forget your months of negligence. 
Secretly, Jae was happy you and Jordan broke up, deeming him an unacceptable guy for you to date (”He smells like Axe body spray.” “His locker’s a mess.” “I don’t like the way he talks to you, like he’s looking down on you.” etc.) and wanting more time with just the two of you. Not to mention the fact that he may or may not like you as more than a friend. He never made a move on you, concerned you wouldn’t reciprocate, and instead tried to put a limit on the physical affection between the two of you. 
2009 - grade twelve graduation
“...you will go forth into this great, big, beautiful, blue Earth and make a difference! I wish you, our future, all the best on your chosen paths in life. Go forth and have no fear!” with the end of the principal’s speech, the crowd of gathered parents, the graduating class, and other family and friends erupted in cheers. Caps were thrown into the air, friends embraced each other, families yelled words of congratulations. 
In all the ruckus, you and Jae were clinging to each other, crying tears of joy into the other’s shoulder. 
“We did it,” you whispered, trying not to let out more sobs.
“Only university left to go,” Jae teased, recalling your primary school graduation seven years earlier. You gently hit his arm, which was still encircling your body. 
Still intertwined, you exit the school gymnasium with hopes and dreams for a once distant future, fulfilled at last.

1. What was your first kpop song?
technically my first “kpop” song was super junior m’s chinese version of “U” but if we’re talking first actual kpop song, it would be super junior’s sorry sorry LOL
2. How did you discover kpop?
NOW THIS IS A STORY. so back in 2008, i always watched chinese variety shows on tv bc they were the only channels we got at home. so one day i was watching a show and there was a group of cute boys who appeared and i was like !!! and then i followed them for a bit through these shows but then like i eventually forgot about them. but then in 2010, there were some reruns airing and i found out the group i liked back in 2008 was called super junior m. at the time, i didn’t realize the ‘m’ was important so i just searched up super junior on youtube. and then it was a downward spiral from there and a decade later, i’m still stuck here in this blackhole yep
3. Who was your first female (kpop) bias?
oh god.... do i even remember? i think it was probably victoria from f(x) or something. i honestly don’t remember bc i was anti-gg (LIKE A FOOL) back then so i didn’t really follow girl groups
4. Who was your first male (kpop) bias?
technically hangeng caught my attention first in SJM when i found out about them in 2008 but henry was my first official bias (it’s funny tho, i was literally watching some videos of henry today and telling my friend about how he’ll always hold a special place in my heart)

Seventeen: i learned about svt during their first showcase in like 2013 ish?? i really liked their concept and since they were close in age to me i was like !!!!!! but their debut kept getting pushed back, and back then it was hard to get videos subbed so i stopped following them. then in like 2015 i heard they were FINALLY debuting and i got excited and got back into them after adore u came out so ye i’ve been following these boys ever since
Monsta X: my most recent ults hehe ^^ so i knew of monsta x bc my friend watched no.mercy (their survival show) but i got secondhand pissed with her bc she said the show was rigged and she wasn’t completely happy with the final lineup. but i also knew of them bc of svt and the boys are friends (WHICH IS GREAT I LOVE IDOL FRIENDSHIPS, ESPECIALLY MONTEEN’S) but i never followed them. then in 2016, after fighter came out, i somewhat got into them bc i liked fighter and i started casually following them and i even watched like episodes of monsta x ray and right now for them but still wasn’t super into them. but then in the fateful summer of 2018, i was super bored bc i had nothing to do and i heard mx ray 3 was coming out so i binge watched literally all of mx ray and mx ray 2, realized I LOVE THESE SEVEN BOYS and then i officially became a monbebe (and also regretted not getting into them sooner)

Sleep Confessions [Jaehyung, Sungjin, and Brian]
This got a lot longer than I thought it would. 
Enjoy~~
Jaehyung
Tumblr media
Samantha met Day6 through Brian after having him on her radio show. She became instant friends with him and Jaehyung due to them speaking English. It was the closest thing she had to home and it was easier than Korean, so when she was just with them she freely spoke English.
After a year and a half, Samantha, Jaehyung, and Brian were tied to the hip. The trio did almost everything together, but Samantha had a secret that only Brian knew. She had fallen for Jaehyung hard. What she didn’t know was Brian was holding on to another secret. Jaehyung felt the same. He tried all he could to get one of them to have the courage to tell the other, but the two stubbornly ignored him and he ultimately decided to stay out of it.
Samantha’s heart raced every second she saw Jaehyung and her breath caught in her throat every time he smiled at her or made a joke. She felt like a stupid school girl with how much she had fallen for him. She was just weak for the loud meme boy and it was hard to be so tight-lipped about her secret love.
However tight-lipped she planned to be, her sleep self had a different idea. She was always made fun for talking in her sleep by her family and friends, so she typically tried not to fall asleep around others. Except, Samantha had pull a 24 hour work day the day before Jaehyung and her were supposed to hang out.
When she walked into his apartment, it was apparent how exhausted she was and he insisted she slept on the couch for a bit. She protested weakly, but he ignored her as he pulled her to the couch. Jaehyung sat down and pulled her down and laid her head on his legs.
“Don’t try anything funny or else” Samantha threat had no real warning as she let out a yawn before she fell asleep.
Jaehyung grinned. He hadn’t planned on doing anything until she said that. “Sammy” She let out a little hum in response. His grin only widened, “What’s your favorite color?”
“Yellow…” she mumbled. He bit back a laugh. He always like making conversation with her when she was asleep. She never remembered what they talked about and it was always fun to make fun of her for it.
Jaehyung went through a list of simple questions as he combed his fingers through her hair. He thought for a moment. There was one question he desperately wanted to know, but he hesitated. He cleared his throat, “Who do you like?” He asked. He felt his heart quicken as he waited for her reply. Samantha made a whining sound as she shuffled and turned to face away from Jaehyung. “Sammy, who do you like?” He repeated softer.
“Jaehyung…” she mumbled.
Jaehyung froze as he processed her answer. A smile grew on his face as her word sank in. He was so happy, a smile wasn’t enough. He let out a loud laugh and Samantha jumped up startled.
She cursed and ran her hands sleepily through her hair, “What’s your deal?” She asked. Her eyes squinted as she looked back at him.
Jaehyung continued to laugh as he looked at her and he reached for her. He pulled her against his chest as his laugh slowly died. He buried his head in the crook of her neck and took in her scent. Samantha blushed feeling his breath on her neck and she tried to move, but his arms kept her in place. “Don’t move just yet.” He whispered.
“What’s wrong with you?”
“I’m sorry” he chuckled. “I was just playing around and asking you questions while you slept…. It’s true, right? You really like me?” He looked at her with puppy dog eyes.
Samantha pulled away. Her hand pressed over her nose as she looked away. She could feel her cheeks burn, “If I said it, it must be.”
Jaehyung grinned as he grabbed her again and hugged her, “I like you too!” He confessed as he let out a laugh. He wanted to pinch himself. He couldn’t believe Brian was right for once.
Sungjin
Tumblr media
Sungjin and his best friend and long time crush, Zoey, were on their way to the beach. It was a celebratory day for Zoey. It was the day after her college graduation. Sungjin wanted to do something special for her and he decided to take her out to the beach for a week getaway in Busan. He wanted to show her just how proud he was of her for how much she achieved.
Sungjin was there through it all. The bad grades, the stress, all the final and midterms exams that made her lose sleep and an appetite, and even the heartbreaks he wish she never had to go through. He knew she needed this.
Zoey let out a yawn drawing Sungjin’s eyes from the road for a moment. She put down her pencil and look up from her journal. “How much further?” She asked as she took off her glasses to clean them.
“About an hour and a half. You look tired, sleep. I’ll let you know when we get to the hotel.”
Zoey shifted in her seat and leaned her chair back. “I don’t want to. I feel like I have talked to you in forever.”
Sungjin’s lips twitched as he tried not to break into a smile, “We talked for a while earlier.”
Zoey held out her hand and Sungjin switched his hand on the steering wheel so he could take hers. Zoey smiled and intertwined their fingers. Her heart quickened. It was an action she was so used to doing with him, but she knew now was different. She realized her crush on him in the last couple of months. She felt ridiculous when she realized why all her exes never worked out. It was a self discovery that left her conflicted. Sungjin’s thumb rubbed the back of her hand and she couldn’t help smiling more. Zoey thought this trip would be a great way to confess to him. What she didn’t know was he had planned to do the same.
She let out another yawn and Sungjin shook his head with a small smile. He took his hand from hers and changed the radio station that had turned to static. “I put a blanket in the back seat, you should get some sleep.” They felt a loss of warmth when their hands separated.
“I’m not that tired” Zoey mumbled as she reached back for the blanket. She threw it over her body and she went back to writing in her journal. She had written about her feelings for Sungjin and as she wrote her eyes drifted shut. Her hands holding her journal and pencil fell slack and she was a sleep within minutes.
While Sungjin drove, he took a quick glance to see Zoey out like a light. His chest vibrated as he let out a quiet chuckle, “And who said they weren’t sleepy?” He reached over and pulled off her glasses and placed them on the tray in the dashboard. Sungjin heard mumbles from Zoey and he turned down the music slightly. “Say something?” He asked figuring she was probably still just half asleep.
“I… like you…, Sungjin” she mumbled in her sleep.
Sungjin looked forwards again as he drove and a small smile slowly grew on his face. He was happy he got Zoey to go on this trip alone with him, it would be a great opportunity for him to take her out on a date and ask her out. Hearing her sleep confession made him more confident in telling her how he felt about her. He glanced at Zoey once more before he focused on the road. He wished he could get to the hotel faster.
Brian/Young K
Tumblr media
Brian was at the point he wanted to just throw everything off the desk and scream. The level of frustration was at an all time high. He struggled with his song writing. He had the apartment to himself, which he thought was a perfect time to write, but nothing came to him. His hand itched to send a text to Dowoon’s younger sister, Hana. She was like his muse, but he knew she was busy. She was a full time college student and a part time worker at a cafe near her campus.
He decided to just take a break just as the doorbell sounded. He got up and walked to the camera. His heart stopped when he saw Hana. Her hair was thrown in a messy bun and she wore her large circular glasses that she said made her feel like Harry Potter. She rang the bell once more before Brian pulled himself away from watching her and he buzzed her in.
Hana skipped inside and kicked off her shoes. She took her brother’s slippers and headed inside, “Hello?”
Brian leaned against the entrance leading to the living room, “Hey, what are you doing here?” He asked.
She gave him a large smile, “I got off work early. I brought some cake” she held up her cake box. “Thought everyone wanted some, but Dowoon wasn’t answering his phone.”
“He’s still out. Everyone is. I’m the only one here” he lead her inside. Hana blushed when Brian wrapped his arm around her shoulder. “Perfect timing actually” he sighed.
“Oh yea?” She let out a soft giggle. “Why’s that?”
“I’m stuck writing, so maybe you can help me.”
“Me?” Her head turned to the side, “I can’t write lyrics. You know this. Why do you always ask me?”
Brian placed the cake box on the dining room table amd grabbed two plates. “You don’t have to do anything. Just hang out with me.” He shrugged as he returned to her side.
He held out a plate and she shook her head, “I just ate dinner before I got here.”
He grabbed a slice of cake and led Hana to where he had all his lyrics and paper on the computer desk. She threw herself on the sofa by the desk and let out a loud sigh. “It was such a long day! I thought I’d never end. Work and school. My professors assigned all this work too. Like hello, you aren’t our only professor can you not assign so much.” She complained.
Brian sat back at the desk and listened to Hana complain. He nodded along to her complaints as he wrote. He didn’t realize how much time had passed and how quite it had gotten. He looked up from the lyrics he wrote and gazed at Hana. She was passed out on the couch. He got up and grabbed the blanket off the back of the couch and threw it over her. As he sat back he pulled up his laptop when he heard a sound from Hana. He checked on her and noticed her lips move, “What’s up?” He asked as he thought he woke her up from her sleep.
She turned and mumbled, “Lea me alon, Do. I won tell Brian I like ‘em…” she buried her head in her arm as she fell back into a quite sleep.
Brian sat there stunned as he thought of her words. He then smiled as he straightened up in his desk. He felt a renewed inspiration after hearing her sleep confession. He would talk to Dowoon before he asked Hana out, but after hearing Hana, he was sure Dowoon wouldn’t mind at all.

Best Artists of 2019
Hello and welcome to me forgetting how I do these things.
So as you may have noticed I got into kpop last year and then I continued getting into kpop this year. This year I got to know a lot of other artists in kpop and mostly spent my time listening to one specific artist (you will never guess whom) so this list is... just that ok. Also this category used to be called best newbies and only included artists I got to know in a specific year then I changed it to include any artist I listened to a lot but with a few exceptions all the music I listened to this year were new discoveries for me so...
Idk why I always overexplain these, huh.
Honourable mentions go to Monsta X, Nu’est, Chungha, Sunmi, Stray Kids, Bolbbalgan4, The Boyz, and returning artists Mamamoo ♥♥
7 - NCT (the whole of it but mostly 127)
Tumblr media
As a baby kpoppie NCT always seemed so intimidating to me with its many many members but the few songs I liked from them upon first listen eventually lured me into getting to know them. Now I’m no expert but to me NCT is a little frustrating because I feel like the label could do so much more with them (and by more I don’t mean to make certain members work even more). I have to admit I often don’t feel like a proper fan because I don’t follow them very closely but to me their music is always the best part of the package and I care very little for their vlogs and... whatever else they’re doing, honestly.
But as a group I feel like they really could do anything as they’ve already explored so many styles and concepts there really isn’t anything that doesn’t sound like them. My personal favourites are Superhuman, Touch, and Boss but this year NCT Dream made a really good comeback I was 100% on board with with Boom, and Wayv’s debut Take Off was also 👌👌👌👌👌👌
6 - Oneus
Tumblr media
I didn’t know a whole lot about anything when these guys debuted and I didn’t even know Valkyrie was their debut song for a long time. It was nice and I didn’t really keep them in mind any longer until they were on Weekly Idol with the other group I’ll talk about in a bit and then I mean, I just had to adopt them, I think we all did at that point. It was also around the time they had their first comeback and it was 👌👌👌👌👌👌 but they still only lived in my tiny brain as a group I’ll eventually get into. And then they released 가자 and I did!
They have two amazing rappers and a fairly versatile vocal line and a style that allows for both dynamic bangers and less radio friendly albeit still addictive tunes that defines their sound even further. I don’t know a lot about how they well-promoted they are, I know they have a shitton of schedules so I hope RWB calms the fuck down eventually and paces themselves because these boys are really promising.
I guess checking their title tracks, Valkyrie, Twilight, and *cringe* Lit should have to suffice but also Bingbing and Blue Sky.
5 - Tomorrow x Together
Tumblr media
I never said I didn’t like them so stop staring at me.
Obviously their debut was exciting and interesting and I was really looking forward to seeing what they would be like. It wasn’t 100% my cuppa though Crown was an amazing song, I was still happy for them and excited to see how they would evolve overtime. I kinda fell off the bandwagon around May and June cause they weren’t really putting out content based around music and I’m not super interested in variety shows and reality shows unless I’m really invested in the members, but their first comeback was also 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌 The songs are really poppy and catchy and cover a variety of themes I think most people interested in getting emotional value out of music can relate to and Yeonjun and Soobin are just, simply put, my boys.
If I could have one comment on what I’d like to see change in the future it’d be the endless masking and layering of the vocals. I can just about tell their voices apart in certain songs but then they pump ‘em full of effects in other songs and I’m jus like whomstdve the fuck am I listening to?
Check out Crown and Run Away, their two title tracks so far and also my personal favourite, Magic Island and maybe Can't We Just Leave the Monster Alive? too and this one as well whatever.
4 - Taemin / Shinee
Tumblr media
I’ll put these two together because yOU CAN’T SEPARATE THEM OKAY I mean it is true that Taemin’s solo material is vastly, vastly different from Shinee’s music but uh this is how I decided.
Shinee is very fun, very diverse, they have the most heart-wrenching songs and then the most upbeat melodies that kickstart the serotonin-production in my brain just like that. I mean they are just vocal powerhouses and they’re using it, but in the same time they have like, these low(er)-energy bops that are just so pleasant to listen to.
Shinee’s weird cause I have a Shinee playlist where I put all the songs I liked from them and I think I don’t know the title of a good half of them but I don’t think I’ve ever pressed the skip button while playing that playlist.
And then Taemin is just very different on his own. Vocally he’s way more strong than Shinee’s music would have you believe, and though he has a sexy concept going on most of the time he’s also not way over the top with it which is... weird to say because he’s very theatrical sometimes. But especially if you compare his most recent material to his solo debut stuff he just looks and sounds way more relaxed in what he’s doing (it’s almost as though he’s matured a little over the years. but only a little). Things you love to see: that.
From Shinee: Symptoms, Countless, The Reason, Drive, Don’t Let Me Go, 1 of 1 From Taemin: Stone Heart, Want, Move, Under My Skin
3 - Day6
Tumblr media
I want you to picture this: me, crying.
I had heard about Day6 from one of my two kpop mutuals on twitter lmao but I always heard Days Gone By mentioned as the best song ever and when I checked it out I didn’t think it to be very special at the time. It was only because I thought Time of Our Life was ok and cute and Shoot Me was very catchy that I made a playlist with all their songs on it and listened to it one time when I had to walk a mile to the train station at five in the morning. And then I heard 121U and Headache and that was it.
I don’t think I say anything outlandish if I say Day6 could be from any other part of the world if you take a look at their sound. They’re very easy-listening pop rock, they’re the kind of melodic rock music I loved when I was in high school. So what makes them special?
That I love them, that’s what >[ I don’t think they have anything more than any other group in their genre but I think they just have everything to steal my friKKEN HEART. First of all I don’t know what kind of demon deal JYP made to get a hold of four vocalists like this, I mean they’re all different but instantly recognisable and their range is just ????????? I think Jae is considered the weakest vocalist (outside of Dowoon but I mean he’s drums) and even the notes that boy belts out are blowing my mind. He has a very natural, almost untrained-sounding tone, Sungjin’s very raspy and emotional, Young K’s voice is very open and full (I think he actually has the biggest range? I could be wrong), and Wonpil has that boyish, charming, kinda slippery but still stable voice that first grabs your attention.
And of course a lot of the writing credit goes to the group’s very own Young K which makes me feel a lot closer to them when I’m listening to their songs. So good job, guys, on everything.
Truly, though, getting to know Day6 has just been so special this year and it just goes to show how even mainstream pop music in korea can be so diverse and anyone could find something they like at any corner.
Holy fuckbucket, what should I even recommend? I guess listen to Shoot Me, 121U, Headache, then also my first favourite song, Somehow, my current favourite song Beautiful Feeling and my current second favourite song I Need Somebody and also their most recent comeback Sweet Chaos and my recent new discoveries Lean On Me, Goodbye Winter, I Would and but also just check out my Spotify playlist for them I literally love every single song on there. Fuck, Like That Sun, Letting Go, Sing Me, Rescue Me, 365247 i’M DYING HERE, SUNGJIN
BITCH, LIKE A FLOWING WIND
2 - Seventeen
Tumblr media
hOkkkaAyy
For the longest time, well, for about five months I guess, I thought these guys would be first place on this list forever. They were the ones who broke the big BTS spell I was under for the second half of 2018 and I really just, fell facefirst into the diamond life. Getting Closer didn’t quite get me in the first round and even Home was a bit like, okay, cute, best of luck for them. Then something happened and both Getting Closer and Home just hit me like a fucking truck even though they’re on two opposite sides of the scale. You know. The song scale. The famous one? That one.
I made a tweet once that I still agree with, that loving Seventeen really is just cutting your own heart up into thirteen even-sized bits and every single bit is filled with so, so much love.
Like many/some(?) of the groups I love, Seventeen is self-composed and for that I am so grateful because their label Pledis is a shithole so thank fuck to Mr. Lee Jihoon for carrying the industry on his back.
The group consists of three units, all of which have their distinct strengths (except for the performance unit, those theatre nerds just had to be good at everything, didn’t they) and Seventeen makes time to explore all of those units, sometimes even making other subunits from different boy configurations (or boyfigurations for short) and somehow it manages to feel balanced and patient and not rushed.
And I especially love how admittedly they started to stop caring about what the public expects from them and they’re exploring concepts that excites them personally. They caught a lot of flak for releasing songs like Hit and Fear after the astounding success Home had back in January and a lot of fans and non-fans alike quoted the groups unwillingness to keep doing what has been proven to work as the reason of their diminishing sales and public interest.
And even though I personally enjoy their brighter concepts also, I just, I can respect that attitude, you know? At the end of the day Seventeen has an obvious and visible love for their own craft and there’s nothing more enjoyable than that.
Now I’m really in trouble as to what to recommend, they have so many different types of songs x”) Okay, Our Dawn is Hotter Than Day, Clap, Adore U, Home, Getting Closer. Also Hit. And like, a billion of their b-sides, just check my spotify playlist for them ok.
1 - Ateez
Tumblr media
*feeling of fear*
Do I even have to go into why I love Ateez? Every time I think about them and just how big a part they played in my life this year I get this overwhelming urge to express just why and just how much I love them.
This year I really just... lost the ability to be happy about things that used to give so much happiness. It’s been a sad and scary downward spiral that I just don’t have enough strength to stop so I guess it’s no wonder that I’d latch onto the first thing that becomes an everyday positive presence in my life. Ateez and the memories connected to them this year have been the reason for the few and far between moments of happiness in my life in 2019 and for that I’ll forever be grateful.
It’s like. When it hits, it just hits, you know?
And I just can’t, can’t wait to scream my little heart out to their songs in March with Linn okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
I guess if I could just have one wish it’d be for them to play Twilight, and Treasure, Illusion, Say My Name, Utopia, Hala Hala, Win, Mist, Wave, my whole Spotify playlist.

a (really late) list of my favorite albums in 2018
In the year of 2018, I listened to many new songs and albums, and also discovered new artists and groups as well. However, there were some albums that really stood out to me in 2018, that I listened to many months after its release. This blog post will be a (long overdue) list of my favorite albums of 2018.
NOIR : “Airplane Mode”
Tumblr media
“Airplane Mode” was NOIR’s first official comeback, and it surely did not disappoint. The album was amazing, showing the group’s growth in rap, vocals, and dance since their debut. I find all of the songs to be very catchy and fun to listen to. Also, in this album, Yunsung really got to shine a lot more, which is great, because him, Seunghoon, and Yeonkuk are currently my bias wreckers!
The Rose : “Dawn”
Tumblr media
Wow, I was in quite the pickle choosing between The Rose’s “Dawn” and “Void,” seeing that The Rose has never put out a single bad album or song. However, I ended up sticking with “Dawn,” since many people have theorized that this album is all connected, and that if you listen to the album in order, it tells a story of a boy and girl falling in and out of love. “Dawn” is perfect album to listen to if you’re in the mood for slow songs and ballads.
VIXX : “Eau De Vixx”
Tumblr media
I’m not really a VIXX stan, or Starlight (fandom name), however I sure can appreciate their music. This album had me sh00k. I remember simply watching the music video for “Scentist,” simply because I thought it looked pretty, and thank goodness I did. Listening to VIXX’s music sends you into a whole other dimension; their music and sound I find very unique and addicting.
Monsta X : “THE CONNECT : DEJAVU”
Tumblr media
This album was, to simply put it, perfect. Every song was so unique, and showed Monsta X’s amazing rap and vocals. More importantly, who can forget about Yoo Kihyun’s high note in “Lost in the Dream”? All of the songs in this album are incredible, it’s nearly impossible to choose a favorite (although “Crazy in Love” will always have a special place in my heart).
NCT 2018 : “EMPATHY”
Tumblr media
Although “EMPATHY” was much less of a new album rather than a huge repackage, it still remained as one the albums that I couldn’t get enough of in 2018. With songs from each unit, along with new members and new units, each song on the album was very different from the song before it. I guess that’s what made the album so loveable, the many different sounds in it.
DAY6 : “Shoot Me: Youth Part 1”
Tumblr media
Not to be dramatic, but this mini-album, along with “The Story of Light” (which I will be talking about next) saved my summer. This era was when I really started to stan DAY6, which is a part of the reason why it is so special to me. In addition to this, this album was the album that I listened to on the five hour drive to go camping. The songs on this album are all very beautiful and also bring back many happy memories, which is why it was one of my favorite albums in 2018.
SHINee : “The Story of Light”
Tumblr media
I was really happy that SHINee was going to release one more album before all of the members began to enlist. This album also holds a very special place in my heart; it brings back many happy memories of the summer and early school year. “The Story of Light” contains a variety of songs, from slow ballads, to more upbeat love songs.
NCT 127 : “Chain”
Tumblr media
I’m not usually one for Japanese albums from K-Pop artists; most of them just being Japanese versions of their Korean hits, however that wasn’t the case with “Chain.” This Japanese EP contained only the Japanese version of “Limitless,” while all of the other songs on the EP were new, not simply Japanese versions. Each song off of this EP was so addicting and, honestly, I think I’ve listened to each off the album at least one hundred times each. More importantly, this EP has the Japanese version of “Chain,” which will forever remain superior to the Korean version.
These are just some of my favorite albums that were released in 2018, that I was able to remember. In 2019, I hope to listen to for more groups and soloists.

Sick Days
[Part Three in Series]
Kang Younghyun (Brian, Young K)
Cute/fluff
A/N: this was suppose to be part three but I accidentally posted it before part two and I'm too lazy to change it. I know it's just one word but oh well... Hahaha good you guys like it 😄
Tumblr media
My nose was so stuffy and runny I was always getting up to clear my nose. My headache was worse and when I coughed, I felt like my vocal chords were gonna fly out at some point. I had a pulsing pain in the top of the brigde of my nose and my ears felt like there was something in them. I was sick to say the least and weak. I hated it more than anything because both Day6 and Got7 had projects coming up and I was leaving all the work to JB and Younghyun.
"God, they probably hate me." I groaned in sniffles as I made my way to my small kitchen. The buzzing of the five heaters followed me to the sink. I had been trying to sweat the virus out for the past few days but it didn't seem to be working.
I put some water on to boil as I cleared my nose and grabbed some hand lotion from beside the sink. My nose had become so dried from the constant tissue that I needed do moisturize it a lot. I leaned back against the counter, feeling a little faint and regretting denying Wonpil's offer to spend the night so he could help me. I felt bad making him stay but I really needed someone at the moment. I was too weak to get up and make myself food or get my medicine.
The door suddenly rang, causing me to jump from my snoozing off. Oh god, that would have been dangerous.
"Going." I hoarsly called out as I made my way to the door. I was in my long BTS' Tata pijamas with matching Chim Chim slippers, my hair was in a really messy bun with portions of strands definitely not being held up, and my glasses with spluttered with water and sweat. I looked like a mess, not even a hot mess, just a mess but I was tired and I wasn't expecting anyone although I secretly hoped it was Wonpil or Jae with food.
I opened the door. I only looked at Younghyun for a split second. His smile growing before I shut the door. Panic and embarrassment kicked in as he knocked again. "Hey! Let me in! I brought food and medicine!"
"Ah Younghyun hold on!" I called back depsite the pain in my throat. I'm a mess! Quickily I ran to my guest bathroom and fixed my hair, spraying water on my face to look less like a mess.
"Come on, I can't wait forever!" He called.
I took my glasses off and made my way towards him. "Ah going going." I sputtered as I opened the door. He smiled down at me before giving me a confused smirk. "You didn't have to fix yourself for me." He teased walking in and slipping out of his shoes.
"Ah shut up, I would have done it if it was the other boys too." I retorted before coughing my lungs out into my shirt.
"Hey, hey come here." He grabbed my arm as he pulled me closer and dropped the bag on the counter. "Younghyun I'm okay." I smiled.
"You're dying and you refused to have Wonpil help. So now I have to be here." That sounded a little rude considering I didn't ask him to be here.
"Ah no." I pulled away from him as the water on my stove began to boil. "I didn't ask you to come Younghyun." My voice was hoarse from both sickness and a bit of sadness. I didn't want him to he there if he felt like it was a chore. "You can leave if you want." I murmured turning away from him and grabbing a mug to make my tea. I really wanted do cry. I was sick and a few days from my period, I was sensitive to practically everything at the moment.
The steam from the boiled water hit my nose right in the spot. It honestly felt so good to my face.
"Someone has to take care of you. Wonpil went to help Sungjin with the songs and Jae went to Dowoon's to practice some more." Younghyun said.
"Wait, aren't you suppose to be working on the songs? I'll be okay if you really need to be somewhere else." I quickly let him know, depsite the fact that I was growing exhausted and heavy. These few minutes of interaction had taken a lot out of me. I turned to him but it must have been too quick because dizziness suddnely flooded my head.
"Woah." I held onto the counter as my legs began to give out on me. Nausea took over and I found myself faint.
"Woah!" Younghyun grabbed me before I completely hit the ground and picked me up into his arms. I turned away from him just in case as he carried me to the living room. "You'll be okay. I'll take care of you." He whispered as he placed me on the couch. I didn't fight it. I was honestly so sick at this point.
He dissapeared for a few minutes and I grabbed the controller, turning on the TV to Netflix. I put on the first show on my 'continue to watch' list just for the ambiance. I needed some noise or this lone time with Younghyun would kill me.
I heard Younghyun rustle about the kitchen and my room before he showed up with a blanket over his arm, the bag of food he brought, and my tea.
I sat up slightly, leaning against the arm of the sofa as I grabbed the mug. He placed the food beside my computer and took his coat off before starting to unpack things from the bag. All these he did in silence and I found myself staring at him. Everything was about a him was beautiful, specially focus in his face as he read the labels of the pill bottle. He mumbled the side effects to himself and narrowed his eyebrows after 'trouble sleeping'.
"Maybe I should buy a different brand." He said turning to me, but I shook my head. "No. It's alright, I can't sleep anyways." I told him.
He stood up abruptly from his seat and moved to my side, the back of his hand already against my forehead. "That's because you have a fever. Aish! You have so many heaters on." He walked up to the heater in the living room and unplugged it.
"Wait, Younghyun I'm trying to sweat out the cold." I whined as he went around the apartment unplugging the rest.
He returned to my side, kneeling down and grabbing the pills. "Let me worry about you, okay. Once the fever is gone, we can take care of the cold, but the fever is what made you nauseas." He looked so sure that I didn't argue back but grimaced and took the pills.
"You sound just like my mom." I puffed.
He smiled softly pulling the blanket up to my waist and tucking in the sides around my feet. "Your mom sounds like a smart woman. I should meet her one day."
I almost choked on the hot tea as I coughed into my shirt. Meeting the parents wasn't something friends did. The light coughing turning into my throat almost tearing itself apart and Younghyun freaking out from the raspy hoarse noise that came out of my mouth. "Maybe I should take you to the doctors!" He already had his coat on and. My keys in one hand but I placed the mug on the coffee table and shook my head.
"Younghyun it's okay... I-I'm okay." My voice came out hoarse.
"That doesn't sound okay. You can barely even talk." He really did seem worried.
"Please Younghyun." My voice couldn't go higher than a whisper. "I-I'll be okay. Just lay down with me." I whined softly, holding my hands up from him to come hug me or something.
For the first few seconds, his eyes widened and he drooped my keys on the ground. It took me a few seconds to realize why he was so surprised. I had just told him to lay down with me and although every cell in my body was burning in embarrassment I didn't back down unless he told me no. With a low sigh, his eyes softened and he smiled gently. "You're going to be the death of me." He whispered taking his coat off again and throwing it on the small loveseat.
He, then, grabbed a pillow and layed it against the sofa arm beside me as he grabbed my hand and pulled me to my feet. He layed down first grabbing the blanket and covering himself before opening his arms to show me where i would lay. "Come on, some body heat well be good for you."
His words were enough to send my heart in a frenzy and for some reason that caused my headache to grow. Ugh feeling sick and in love was honestly the worst. I slipped in, snuggling against his chest as he wrapped his hands around my waist. My shirt lifted up a bit and he pressed his hand down, coming in contact with my skin. It sent a shiver down my spine as I grabbed his shirt and I was engulfed in his sweet apricot scent and warmth. Already I could feel myself getting better and I didn't want to leave his side at all.
When he started rubbing my back up and down, I felt the sleepiness cave in me. "Younghyun, I'm tired." I whispered, snuggling against his chest a little more. He responded by tangling his legs with mine and pulling me closer to his body to the point where I can practically hear his heart beat beginning to pick up. "Sleep." He began to him his song I Will Wait and slowly I began to doze off. His soft voice and the heat radiating from his body were honestly the perfect lulluby.

When You’re Gone
Tumblr media
Characters: DAY6 Wonpil x OC
Genre: angst, slice of life
Words: 1.9k
Description: Based off and ‘I Would’ and ‘Goodbye Winter’ with a hint of ‘I Smile’
---
Even after so many years, you still leave him breathless when he sees you. Even after so many years, every meeting felt like seeing you for the first time, the wild emotion called joy thundering madly in his chest. Even after so many years, he still loves you and he will till eternity.
You were stunning as always, but even more so today in the white get-up. He thought you looked like a princess – your big skirt was styled in tiers and your halter bodice was intricately designed with lace, making you look soft and royal at the same time. He remembered the times when you used to tell him about your dream wedding dress and today, you were wearing the one that both you and he had envisioned. He’d always known that you would look perfect – and you did.
“Hi Wonpil, thanks for coming today. I didn’t know if you would actually come…”
“You called me first after so long and I don’t think I could ever say no to that.”
He then tore his gaze from your eyes, worried that you’ll see that he still misses you. As much as he does, he will continue to smile for you today. Attempting his best, he schooled his features and looked you in the eye again. Mustering his courage again, he said the simple words that he hadn’t had the chances to say in such a long time.
“You looked gorgeous tonight Y/N.”
“Thank you.”
You then smiled at him, letting your eyes drop a little out of shyness. He recognises the curve of your lips very well – they were the ones that used to touch his own.
You still have the same pretty smile. You’re still the same.
He smiles back at you but behind that loving smile he was hiding something – he was hiding a whole sea of regret and sorrow. Tonight, you won’t be walking down the aisle towards him. Tonight, he will watch as you marry someone else, someone that wasn’t him. Tonight, he will lose you forever. How did this even all happen? That stabbing pain in his chest refused to be ignored and memories of your time together washed over him like a tidal wave.
-
“Hey babe.”
You wrapped your arms around Wonpil’s neck but he was unresponsive. His eyes were glued to the piece of paper in front of him as he scratched out words – lyrics that were absolutely unsatisfactory to him. You hung onto him for a few more minutes, hoping he would say something to acknowledge your presence.
But nothing came. All you could hear was his ragged breathing and furious scratching.
“Wonpil, aren’t you going to… at least say something? I’ve been standing here for so long.”
He didn’t even bother looking at you before his hot words hit you.
“Look Y/N I’m busy now. You don’t have to bother about me. Just go do your things.”
“Ok then, could you at least tell me what you want for dinner? I’ll make it for you.”
“Anything is fine.”
You then backed away silently to the kitchen, busying yourself by preparing dinner for both of you.
“Wonpil, food’s ready. Do you want to come and eat?”
 “Just place it next to me.”
You then did as he said, and he merely nodded at you before focusing back on his work. You ate your dinner alone in silence before retiring to your room silently. You decided that you would let it go this time round – you didn’t have the heart to argue with him seeing how hard he was working.
When you woke up in the middle of the night to find the spot beside you void of his warmth, you walked out to see if he was still working. You found him missing but everything else was untouched – including his dinner. In a sudden surge of anger, you dumped his dinner into the trash bin without hesitation and that was when the first tears began to sting your eyes.
Over time, this sort of behaviour became a habit. When you came home, he would either be buried in his work or the house would be empty. Any attempts for him to spend time with you would be turned down and eventually, you stopped asking. Yet, you never stopped caring for him. You made sure he didn’t skip meals, you kept his things in place when he was too tired to clean up after working and so much more. Despite all your effort, he never once showed gratitude in any form - not even a simple thank you. He was simply too absorbed into his own work to notice anything that you did for him.
But tomorrow was going to be different.
“Wonpil, come back home early tomorrow.”
“Ok.”
Satisfied that you at least got some response from him, you left him to do his own things before you prepared for the special day tomorrow.
 You waited, and waited, and waited. The clock read 1am and you clutched onto your phone tightly, squeezing it so hard the screen looked like it might just crack at any moment. By now, the dinner had gone cold and the candles were all burnt out. Your eyes were stinging red from all that crying earlier and you could only stare desolately at your phone screen, hoping a certain someone’s name would light up on the screen.
Your train of thoughts were broken by the loud slamming of the door and the moment Wonpil saw you, he had begun to yell.
“Why did you have to call me so many times? I was in a meeting with JYP and did you know how annoying it was to have my phone screen light up so many times! I couldn’t even take notes without you notifications popping up every few minutes! Do you even think that I might be busy? Do you even care for me!”
“Do I ever care for you? Yes I do Kim Wonpil, I DO ALOT! I CARE FOR YOU SO MUCH THAT I’VE LOST MYSELF IN THE PROCESS!”
His accusations against you had made you fuming mad and for the first time, you raised your voice at him, finally letting all your frustrations show.
“Tell me Wonpil, do you even remember what day it is today?”
His silence and furrowed eyebrows indicated that he had no clue.
“I should have guessed as much. You can’t even remember our anniversary Wonpil. Did you ever wonder I asked you to come home early tonight? Why didn’t ask you to go out with me instead? Because I care for you Wonpil! I’m doing all this with you in mind! I know you’ve been working hard and that you’re tired so I wanted us to stay home instead, just you and I. When was the last time we spent time together. When...when...when was the last time ‘we’ existed?”
That sudden outburst of anger left you gasping for breath and you pushed past him without waiting for a reply that would never come and you left.
Just like that.
He didn’t call out to you.
He didn’t chase after you.
He just watched as you walked away.
Just like that.
 The next day when he got back home, he found the apartment stripped bare of all your belongings with a white letter bearing his name placed on his work desk. Tearing the flap open, the contents of the letter crushed him into a million pieces. 
 “Hi Wonpil. I’ll just keep this simple so that I don’t take up too much of your time. Time and emotional distance has kept us away from one another for too long and I think that spark of love isn’t there anymore, both for you and me. Staying in this relationship will only result in bitterness for the both of us so let’s just end things here. You’ll find all your gifts in a box on the bed but I did take some personal favourites along with me. Forgive me for having to do this; I don’t think I could see you in person and tell you this without having a full mental breakdown. Thank you for all the good memories and take care of your health.
PS: I restocked on some honey for you - winter is dry and you need to take care of your throat.
Love,
Y/N”
 Walking towards the kitchen, he found 4 bottles of honey placed in a row on the kitchen counter. Even till the end, you still cared for him unconditionally. But he was a fool that only realised what he lost too late.
-
Why was it so hard to say thank you back then?
Why was it so hard to say I’m sorry?
Why didn’t I chase after you and hold onto you tightly?
 The image of you kissing your husband last night seared in his mind like a brand - a mocking brand that marked him as the world’s biggest fool for giving you up. Still, he smiled for you till the end last night, putting up a good show and pretending that he was totally alright losing you when he was crippling with hurt inside.
 Wonpil had too many regrets but nothing would ever change the fact that you’re no longer his, and nothing would change the fact that he’ll never ever be able to have you back. Letting the snow fall all around him as the snowflakes clung to his hair, he walked for a long time without a destination in mind. Unbeknownst to him, he had wandered into a familiar neighbourhood and right at that moment when he chose to look up, he recognised the house in front of him as the one that both of you used to own together. He remembered putting it up for sale after both of you broke up but it has yet to find a new owner. He glanced over the house carefully before his gaze fell on the bench right outside the house. That particular bench brought back so many memories of you – that was your favourite spot to stargaze and he remembers singing for you as you rest your head on the crook between his neck. Playful kisses were stolen as he wrapped your hands in his bigger hands, whispering promises to you with only the night sky as a witness. Promises of how much he’ll treasure you forever, and promises of your future together.
But those were no longer to be – but who could be blamed for all this happening except him?
Easing himself into the seat, he closes his eyes and tries to remember what it was like to have you sitting beside him and for a brief moment, he feels your warmth in the seat beside him and it feels as though he was clasping onto your warm hands once again. But when he opens his eyes to find the spot beside him empty, all that warmth disappears slowly and he is left to the deal with the desolate loneliness that he has brought upon himself.
It was winter when you left and for so many years he had lived in that cold season, letting his heart turn to ice with regret and sorrow. He knew then that it was all over but he still couldn’t move on from the ghost of you. But now, with only the cold and empty space to accompany him, it was clear to him on what must be done.
The winter of you is passing, and so must he.

jams meme: best of 2017
@blotthis tagged me in a jams meme!! thank you :D since it’s the new year, i thought i’d do a little retrospective of some of my favorite songs to come out of 2017! so here we goooo
“i wish” by wjsn
this song came out literally 3 days into the new year, but as soon as i heard it i knew it would be one of my top tracks of 2017. and i was right!! i loved “happy” too, and “happy moment” was one of my favorite albums this year, but i’ll always be especially weak for wjsn’s spacey concepts. this song is so pretty and light and pink, and the mv is a lisa frank dream, and the choreography is so whimsical and charming… great on all fronts. all hail the rookie pop princesses.
“wanted! wanted!” by mrs. green apple
mga have become one of my top favorite bands after i discovered them earlier in the year. i love how sweet and fizzy and fun their music is, and i love their lead singer motoki’s voice (i’m not sure what it is about it, but it makes me so happy). i feel like this song is a great example of their particular super-hyper brand of pop. this is a good one to blast in the car :o)
“vanilla” by fickle friends
another band that’s shot to the top of my list of favorites after finding them this year! their sparkly-pool-water 80s vibe is sooo up my alley. i love the percussion and the bright guitars in this song, and i have such a crush on natassja’s voice. (i’d also highly recommend “swim,” which has been one of my top jams this year and is also my favorite fickle friends song, and which i would have included, but it it came out in 2016, lol.)
“the song” by zion.t
i loved this song the moment i heard it. zion.t has one of my favorite voices not just in kpop but in general, and it sounds sooo nice and smooth here. and the simplicity of the song is so good?? it’s nothing frilly or explosive, it’s just a pleasant little tune. i like that the lyrics reflect that too—i love the “i’m not trying to write a hit song, i just want to write you something sweet” attitude. also for whatever reason i think the line “let’s stick together all day like alley cats” is so cute? and the mv is so wonderfully bizarre (the colors are sooo good). the rest of the album is great too; got me through a lot of shifts at work.
“when you love someone” by day6
i really thought “dance dance” was gonna hold tight to the title of Emma’s Favorite Every DAY6 song, but then “when you love someone” came out and immediately took its place. this song like the aural equivalent of a warm hug and a hot drink and it makes my heart feel so at peace every time i hear it :( also the lyrics are a complete K-O. those first few every day6 releases were SO ANGSTY, and even though i loved them i was like “will poor youngk ever write a happy relationship song???” but then he started releasing shit like this and it killed me and i immediately regretted ever asking. (also not to be a bitter betty but i’m still cheesed that we never got resolution on sungjin and wonpil’s story!!!!!!!! @ jyp i still have questions)
“we find love” by daniel caesar
“freudian” has become one of my new favorite albums. it’s so perfect for the winter—daniel caesar’s woozy gospel sound is so warm and cozy. there’s not a song on the album that i don’t love, but this one is particularly soothing and comfy. with the harmonized background vocals and the gentle piano, it sounds like something you’d hear on the radio late at night when you’re tucked into bed trying to fall asleep while the snow is drifting down outside. and daniel’s voice has this… i don’t know how to explain it. he sounds so assured and smooth when he sings, like he’s been doing this forever. i can’t get enough.
“cut to the feeling” by carly rae jepsen
2017 was the year that i remedied my worst mistake of never having listened to the power-pop gem that is carly rae jepsen’s 2015 album “e•mo•tion,” and is it too hyperbolic to say that that changed me as a person?? her brand of fizzy fluttery 80s-inspired sugar is everything i didn’t realize i needed. i’m dying for a new crj album, but in the meantime, “cut to the feeling” has done a good job of holding me over—it’s all the shout-about-your-crush-from-the-rooftops euphoria that miss carly does so well. extremely good for car rides, especially when the bridge kicks in.
“praying” by kesha
kesha has been my other pop queen this year. i liked her before, but then i listened to “rainbow” and cried like three different times while doing so, and i fell in love. every single song off of “rainbow” is great (the range of style is amazing, she goes from acoustic to pop to rock to country and back, and each one is just as great as the last), but “praying” is so raw and special; it doesn’t matter how many times i hear it, it hits me just as hard every time. i love how it builds—from the simmering power of the first chorus, to the stomp of the second (those pounding piano chords really get me), to the fireworks of the last (that fucking whistle note!!!!!!!!! also the way she sings “some say in life you gonna get what you give, but some things only god can forgive” with those horns behind her in the bridge…….i get shivers every time)… every second of it hurts so good. you can feel all that anger and pain, and also the euphoria and the healing. i’m so glad that kesha is finding herself again; she deserves the best.
“mic drop” by bts
i thought “baepsae” was my favorite “kiss my ass” bts banger, but then “her” came out and “mic drop” fuckin beat “baepsae” to a bloody pulp. the original and the desiigner/steve aoki remix are both sooo good: i love the dark grungy slink of the original, which sounds like it could play during the trailer for a movie about a scrappy gang of crime syndicate underlings who are sick and tired of being underestimated just because they’re all so young, so they’re ready to go off the books and pull a heist so big, no one will ever underestimate them again; but i also love the extra shot of adrenaline in the remix—desiigner’s verse is like whiplash (seriously, how does he manage to rap that fast???), and minimizing that bouncy little riff in the verses to focus on the vocals and the beat makes the chorus hits so much harder (also the “hella thick”/“hella sick” echoes are so much FUN to sing along to (and of course yoongi’s “baby watch your mouth” is…great, to say the least)). i really couldn’t pick between the two versions; although they share a teeth-bared-knuckles-bruised attitude, they’ve got unique vibes to me and i love them differently. that said, i’m linking to a performance of the original version because 1) yoongi and hoseok’s undone bow ties are really fucking me up; 2) apparently the reason why yoongi doesn’t do the last line of his verse is to prove to people accusing them of lip-syncing that they don’t use a track when they perform, which cracks me up because that’s such a yoongi thing to do; and 3) whoever wrote the captions added some little personal notes of their own and they’re so CUTE and funny.
“beautiful” by monsta x
idek what to say about this song anymore; it’s been 9 months and those opening bars still make my heart race. “beautiful” has become not only one of my favorite songs of 2017 but one of my favorite songs period. i’m a mess for mx and i love everything they do, but this song is really something else—rap line are in top fucking form, vocal line kill it (minhyuk’s lines are a Blessing), and the choreography is still one of my favorites from this year. i’ve listened to this song so many times i really thought i was gonna get sick of it, but i haven’t yet, and i don’t think i will.
“baby” by astro
i’m surprised my teeth haven’t rotted out of my skull after how many times i’ve listened to “baby” this year, because this song is like pure sugar. i love the snappy percussion and the bouncy bass and the bright melody, and astro have such sweet vocals to boot (especially mj, oh man ;___;). and the choreography is so!! good!!! it’s got this old-fashioned swing to it that i love. ugh. it’s all perfect. i remember a few months ago i was having a bad day for whatever reason, but after i watched a few live stages of this i instantly felt better.
“new fears” by lights
“skin&earth” was hands-down one of my top favorite releases of 2017—it’s the gritty post-apocalyptic cyberpunk album of my dreams. i’ve loved lights since like middle school, and it’s so amazing to see how her music has grown and changed; this is my favorite work from her so far. “skin&earth” has SO many good tracks, but “new fears” is probably my favorite. i love the eerie beginning, and the heavy beat in the chorus, and the lyrics!!!!!! they nail that feeling of “i would give myself up to keep you safe” in such a raw and heart-wrenching and beautiful way. just reading them gives me chills. the idea of getting new fears when you start really caring about someone……i never would’ve thought of it that way but it’s so true. UGH! lights if ur reading this i love u
“do it” by masc
god am i glad i stumbled across this one night when i was catching up on mvs, because masc have become one of my new favorite groups. i love the retro vibe, their vocals are so good (heejae’s voice…i’m weak), the choreography is SO freakin cute (i’m still not over the superman move in the chorus), and the mv is so colorful and goofy (two of my favorite things!)… truly a dream. the fan service dance practice and honestly any of the live stages are also a delight.
so there’s some of my faves! happy new year everyone!!! 2017 you kinda sucked sometimes but thanks for at least bringing some sweet jams. i’ll tag @anyhao @shinwhoohoo and @onlyoongi if you’d like to share some of what you’ve been listening to lately!
