The CHASE scene #1 ✨ Director Choi Minho 🔥

Hi :)

I’ve watched a few of Taes videos about him explaining his album and what I found interesting was that he said he’s plans changed for his original album. That makes me think the whole Taennie thing was also for his promotions too but since it changed last December, there was no need for him to be connected with her again. Thats why he wasn’t connected to her since late of last year. The Paris walk thing seemed so forced and fast especially right before the release of her show. It seems like Jennie’s company asked Tae for one last cover up before letting it go. Since the Paris walk thing, he’s been distant and Jennie has been doing the most work. Which is why we all thought that it was only for her.

I think the original album that he was working on got postponed and it seems like it was a grand project. I’m sure he would’ve promoted big time like Jungkook and Jimin in US. In that original plan it would make sense for him to be connected to Jennie since she was already in the West for Idol show and it would’ve made a powerful impact. But since his plans changed and idol was a disaster he wants nothing to do with it anymore.

That’s why he kept this album short and low key and doesn’t care much about it being on the charts and all. It was just a filler or experiment for now. What do you think?

Hi anon!

I think I’ve kinda settled on the following as to how everything fits together.

Tae accidentally followed Jennie, which gave some people the idea to use him and Jennie dor some kind of powerplay towards Bighit/YG. I have not ruled out the companies being involved (I think at least staff from Jennie’s side was) but it wasn’t necessarily promo for Tae back then. Bighit basically denied those pictures being them by calling it ‘defamation’. But the rumor was spread widely enough to not go away.

Tae talked quite about about his song making process, and I tend to think he is truthful about not being satisfied and wanting different things constantly. It fits what we have heard before. I don’t know what the actual reason of him not releasing the album in December was, but.. it being a completely different one now is curious. The thing I find hard to deduce is how finished the initial album was. Was it set to go? Did Tae pull the plug? Was it the company? I am still guessing at all of this a lot. But Tae makes it come across like he wanted something else, he contacted Min Hee-jin, they clicked. He received songs and picked the ones he felt suited him best. And.. ideas about his mv’s formed. So at that point, the queercoded-ness would also have become apparent.

That is when I feel the Taennie walk was introduced. The timing was perfect for both Jennie and Tae’s ‘needs’. It was quick and simple and the had an already established rumor to go from. Imagine the Taennie walk without Gurumi’s work beforehand for a second. Would it have had the same impact? I think not. I think it would have been denied as ‘not being them’ way more.

After the Taennie walk Tae did absolutely nothing that links him to Jennie in any way. He even untagged Taennies. He is quite obviously happy as well. Jennie took it a bit further (I think encouraged by YG) by posting those pics on her Instagram. But she now also seems to not play any longer.

I think Tae is happy with what he put out, but I also think it’s clear he sees this as an actual layover. It not being his own songs does make me think he didn’t want those connected to her at times, but I am not entirely sure that is part of the reason why we got this album. I believe Tae when he says he wants this album and the promo to reflect him. I’ve at times wondered if Tae was comfortable with showhosts like James Cordon etc. I think he actually does prefer it like this. I know doing promo abroad is part of their jobs and they are used to it, but I can very much understand why Tae, who has felt weird too often, would want to be as comfortable as he can be for once.

Stranger things?

Welp, I cancelled both my Sowoozoo orders. I hope I don’t regret it. 

But I am in that weird limbo where we now have Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 and like the song says “the past was honestly the best, but my best is what comes next” and Hobi out here bashing our brains with hip hop/alt rock/indie/emo rap and I just need to save my money for sexy Jimin I guess? Because if I’m going this crazy over Hobi, what’s gonna happen to my sanity when Jimin Phase 2 arrives?

I am wandering around in my mind like a lost Namjoon puppy looking for my purpose. 

My Army-ness has taken that leap of faith with them though and I’m fully on board but I am still also blonde Jimin Phase 1 makes me go “omg, come here my luscious...”

And then he shows up in my face slurping ramen with heart-shaped eggs and sexily tousled dark hair on his way to ... um... home from Jungkook’s... no, he’s probably on his way to work. 

(slap slap) *Points my mind back that way*

I ordered Hobi’s album off Weverse. I bought the single off iTunes. Been streaming the crap out of it on YouTube. Love that song. He did such a good job. I cannot praise him enough. Just brilliant. Saw a great translation of the lyrics and video concepts on Twitter except now I can’t find it again. If I find, I will come back and edit here. 

But I did find this. I know, my priorities are screwed up. Blame it on Jimin-ssi. 

How do I get side tracked so easily? At least me and Jungkook have something in common.

What was I talking about? Oh yeah. I see a lot of people say they can’t call him Hobi any more...I will always call him Hobi (unless he tells us not to) because some habits are hard to break. It’s the nickname Jimin calls him so I’m gonna stick with it. 

I’ve seen a lot of people interpreting the concepts of the “MORE” MV and they are all fascinating! The cardboard box in the video that actually contains the entire set for the video was mind-blowing. I wonder if we’ll get any other MV’s off the album and if so, will Hobi’s alter-ego, “Jack” make another appearance....something to wait and see! The x-ray scenes are like Hobi wants us to see inside of him, he wants to be transparent when he screams: “want a stadium with ma fans, want to bag all the trophies, Grammys too, fame and money’s not everything, my work makes me breathe and I want more.” I don’t think he’s done with us. In 2 weeks, we hear the rest of Jack in the Box. 

Yes, indeed this sometimes feels like me trying to keep up with Bangtan Chapter 2:

It’s a strange feeling.

Golden

Word Count: 1.4k

Category: Fluff! Nothing but fluff!

Warning: JUST THAT IT MENTIONS THE GOLDEN MV AND THAT SHOULD BE A WARNING

Summary: You watch Golden for the first time with Harry.

UM FIRST OF ALL, I’M NOT OK, OK

..

Harry loved love. He loved emotions.

While heartbreak was nasty, he was a firm believer that “a heart that's broke is a heart that's been loved.”

While his love life history had many well-known people, to fall in love with someone who worked a job so different from his world, who also happened to be a fan of his, was something Harry was continuously in awe of.

You were a happy accident, as Harry would like to call your encounter. A wrong turn taken while he ran in the morning ended up with him harshly bumping shoulders with you as you walked down the pavement, making you drop your tote back and for the Harry’s self-titled album vinyl record to make an appearance.

You were excited, in awe, and completely enamoured by the man you have been supporting for years and listening to, telling him about how his debut album was “more than amazing” and having a heartfelt conversation that had made Harry’s entire week.

Before either of you knew it, you had been talking for well over 30 minutes; a conversation that was deeper than the ones Harry, and yourself, had with the closest people around you that it was bewildering that out of all people, you would have that conversation with someone you looked up to and for Harry, a fan he hadn’t seen nor heard of until that day years ago.

If you were to ask him how it happened, he wouldn’t give you any direct answer; not because he was a private person, but because he was unsure.

Sure, it might be cliché to say that “fate wanted the both of you to happen” but it was a cliché for a reason – it happened before, and it keeps happening, and it was exactly what happened with you and Harry.

Being a fan meant many things; sure, you get to show off his merch anywhere you go, and sure you get to enjoy his talent and presence live in more ways than others, but it also meant genuine, hyper excitement over his new work.

His second album was a blast, and you were glad that you were a part of the journey of the making, having had cried a little when Harry sat you down one night and told you that you were the inspiration and muse behind his love songs on Fine Line, to the point where he even briefly included you in his Watermelon Sugar music video.

“You sure you don’t want to join? Will miss you.” Harry mumbled one day against your hair as you had your arms wrapped around one another in a hug while he stood by the door of his (well technically, your shared) private Italian house.

He was leaving for the sole purpose of your trip; film Golden, and while he wanted you to join the filming, your decision was set.

“Stop pouting,” you chuckled at him, “I don’t want to see anything before it’s premiered.”

He couldn’t hide the smile on his face at the reminder, fully knowing that you wanted to embrace the fan part in you and if it meant sitting at the house for hours while he goes to film, then so be it.

“You’re stubborn.”

“I’m loyal.” You corrected him with a teasing tone before pulling your face away to look at him, “You’re going to be late.”

He hummed, leaning to kiss your lips. After one kiss and 3 pecks, Harry let out a sigh of contentment. “You’re right.” Another peck before he let you go, grabbing his bag, “I marinated the chicken last night while you were sleeping, just pop it in the oven when you’re hungry.”

“You’re an angel, you know that?”

“So I’ve been told.”

Now, September was over, you were in LA accompanying Harry while he started filming Don’t Worry Darling for a few days, and out of all days, you happened to be with him on the day when Golden’s music video was getting released.

You had known when the fans did, having had told Harry that you didn’t want to know beforehand as well and that made him itch for a while.

So there you were, sitting outside in the backyard with Harry’s pink MacBook on the table in front of you, the screen showing you the countdown.

To mask his worry and nerves, Harry had you seated on his lap, arms around your stomach while you had your hands clutched together in eagerness underneath your chin.

“Baby, j-”

“Hush! It’s starting!” You instantly cut him off, causing Harry to laugh.

Harry had his phone perched against the metal vase on the table, camera opened and showing the both of you to catch your reaction – a keepsake for Harry for when he was away for too long and just because he enjoyed watching you supporting him, all eager.

With the first scene and music sounding, you let out a tiny squeal, covering your mouth as your wide eyes were set on the laptop.

Harry knew the video well, he didn’t need to watch himself again and besides, he had a better view anyway.

You were seated on his lap slightly sideways, making him catch sight of your face as you smiled genuinely while watching, eyes twinkling before you cupped your own face.

“You look so happy,” you cooed softly, your heart fluttering at the sight of your boyfriend looking so carefree, “I’m so proud of you.”

He refrained from replying, knowing that your commentary didn’t need any comments from him and that you’d scold him if he talked, so he pressed his cheek against your back for a second before looking up at you and beaming.

“Oh my God, you look so good!” You gasped as you exclaimed, “Are you kidding me?! How can this be so hot and cute at the same time?!” You pointed at the screen after the shot of him crouching in shorts while on a rock, arms up as he shook his head while singing “I’m out of my head and I know that you’re scared because hearts get broken.”

He giggled, watching you place a hand to your heart as you watched him dance, being so…himself.

“All that running,” you shook your head, “No wonder your thighs almost crush me when we’re sleeping.”

“I don’t crush you.”

“Hush! I don’t want to miss- I don’t wanna be alone. You’re so golden! You’re so golden,” you sang loudly, swaying as you did and throwing your arms up, “You’re so goldeeen. I’m out of my head, and I know that you’re scared because hearts get broken! Awwwwwh, you know I love it when you have your hand on your cheek like that,” you feigned crying, “That nail polish, too. Kill me!”

No matter how many times Harry has watched you react to his work, he knew that there was no way he’d ever get bored of it.

The video came to an end, your eyes not leaving the screen for a moment.

“Am I allowed to talk now?” He teased, tilting his body slightly to the side to look at you better.

“Yes,” you breathed out, “You’re allowed to do whatever that you want because this,” you pointed at the laptop, “Was the best thing I have seen all damn year.”

“You like it?”

“Like?” Your eyes widened as you looked at him, looking offended, “Like?! How dare y- I love it! I love it so much, H! You, looking all happy, prancing and doing goofy dance moves like that, with a tan and your hair, don’t get me started on your hair. I’m still mad you had to cut it. You look beautiful anyway but your hair in that video? You know what that is?”

Harry, amusingly, grinned at you, “What?”

“Art! Your hair is art! I’d watch you dance and going wild in swimming shorts any day, any time. Just say the word and I’m free.”

He laughed, face heating up and veins making an appearance as he did. “But was it worth the wait?”

“Oh, hell yes.” You nodded slowly, “I don’t feel bad about deciding not to join the filming.”

Harry smiled, “Come here.”

Knowing what he meant, you wrapped an arm around his shoulders before capturing his puckered lips in a kiss.

“Harry?”

“Hm?”

“You’ve just killed millions of people with that video.”

“Are you dead?”

“Just about right.”

a simple call of the wild review that is totally professional and not way too detailed by me (February)

It's gonna be a bit of comparing to previous powerwolf albums/songs and remember everything is my own opinion. If you disagree/agree we may talk about it in a civilized way, I actually love talking to others about this shit!

But otherwise (hate, insults, etc.) you can keep your opinion somewhere where I can't see it :) Also, the album has barely been out for a day and things change with time and I may grow to like certain things more. (but there's not too much that I don't like tbh) But I hope you enjoy this metalhead-gremlin's ramblings!

Faster than the flame

I had to listen to it quite a few times before I could say anything about it. It's a powerful start into the new album, however, it is (as previously stated) powerful but didn't blow me away like the first songs on the previous albums. (Fire &forgive, Blessed &possessed, amen & attack - wait am I just now noticing a pattern here? oh my god. Anyway.) Maybe I got that personal feeling that I want it to be Fire & Forgive, which is, of course, not possible and would be boring. So i think I'm not even critizing the song but rather the order of the songs.

It feels like a typical powerwolf song; both lyrics and instrumental. Fast, heavy, something about flames and burning - awesome. The two Latin parts (I think it's called the pre-chorus? man, I have no idea and will just throw around these words because my internet connection is too bad to look this up. But if you listen, you'll know which parts I mean.) already give me goosebumps. I also really, really liked the bridge (again?? idk??) aka the "flame, flame, burning wild in heavens name" part. This was the most memorable part for me after the first time listening. Of course, the guitar arrangement throughout the whole song is just... god bless. I must say that using the word "pastor" is dangerous because my stupid brain keeps thinking Attila is singing about "pasta" again... Oh well, moving on!

Beast of Gevaudan

Man, I've been listening almost non-stop since it was released as a single! At first, my head was comparing it somewhat to army of the night but after a few times this feeling was gone and it became an awesome new idea/song. The choir and orchestra part are so well placed and support the rest of the instrumental and Attila's voice perfectly. Again, much fast, very powermetal. I've grown very fond of the guitar solo. The lyrics tell us a little about the story of the beast and I. Love. Storytelling. In. Songs. Glad matthew finally came around to put his idea out there!

This song also has a video, which left me speechless at first. I love Attila's acting so much??? And making this sort of their own story of Jesus was such a cool idea. Production is high quality as well (didn't expect anything less after The Sacrament of Sin MVs) and there were really nice shots in there. I doubt that I will get tired of this song and this video anytime soon!

Dancing with the dead

That choir stuff in the beginning, following by that awesome guitar riff already had me. I couldn't stop listening to this one either. This might be, in my opinion, the most catchy song on the whole album. The intruments are in perfect harmony with Attila's heavenly voice. The transition into the guitar solo is so damn smooth and well done. I'm having a whole crisis about how good this song is.

The lyrics are interesting too! Again, there's a story to be told. As far as I can interpret it, being introduced to some darker powers and growing to enjoy them, despite previously having lots of faith, is what's going on here. It has this slight feeling of... corruption (in a good way of course). This makes me want to go dancing (with the dead)

This one also has a video! Once again, very high quality. Every band member had their "special moments/shots" and just looked stunning. But Attila left them all behind this time. Slow dancing, in a suit, with that smirk on his lips??? Well done, my dude.

Varcolac

This one's dark and heavy. It brings me back to the good ol' times of Lupus Dei and Bible of the Beast. Just with more orchestra, choir and overall harmony. It makes me so happy that Powerwolf is using so many real life legends and figures on this album! And they did such a good job with them as well. If this song was alive, it would be a scary beast.

The typical metal elements and orchestra/choir parts are very well balanced. And the organ throughout the whole song is fitting. It supports the dark and sinister feeling of the whole thing. My favourite part may be the "And as army we bing fire..." parts! Man, I just love werewolves. Also, I think Attila's famous gibberish singing made a return in this one!

Alive or undead

Oh boy,here we go. The piano in this one is incredible. "Here we STAAAAAAND!" Goosebumps and shivers. Everything about this is so emotional andreading the lyrics while listening just makes me want to cry, ok?! T_T Powerwolf has become so flexible, exploring different ways to make music. This could have been some kind of typical powermetal song but it's not and I'm glad about it.

Even if it's a little different, they never stray to far from what makes them special. The few parts, reminding one of typical church music would not have been necessary but are appreciated! They know when to leave out the guitars and go slowly. What bothers me a little, is that it somehow feels like Attila's voice had a tiny bit more potential up to the chorus. It could've been a little bit softer? if i can put it that way. But honestly this song is raw emotion and everything still fits together. If you thought their first ballad was emotional, buckle up, this one kicked me right in the feels.

Blood for blood (Faoladh)

Powerwolf ventures again into the folk metal territory and successfully conquers it! Could be a headline of something. Anyway, this song is a very worthy successor of Incense & Iron! It just makes me happy, its melody is so light - combined with your typical Powerwolf lyrics. Perfect song to start jumping up and down! It radiates motivational energy. Just like Dancing with the dead, this song has a very smooth transition to the guitar parts.

The melody is strong but still easy enough to quickly get into it! I can barely sit still and write this aaaa. Seriously, I am just happy with this song and will go jump and headbang a while to it!

Glaubenskraft

I have returned from jumping and oh no. It's a German song. Bold of them to go all out on that Latin beginning... it works really well though! It might be because I'm German but this song hits hard. Very hard. It's not easy to make this language sound good and ( if you don't happen to know much about German) the lyrics consist of a bunch of old words and grammar you wouldn't normally use anymore. But they made it fucking work!!! The quiet verses only make the pre-chorus and chorus itself heavier and blow me away. And SOMEHOW this super epic song with (made up, at least I'm pretty sure they don't exist like that) Latin words is about.. you know what Powerwolf writes about a lot. And I LOVE that. It's so subtle and only if you read into it, you're like "wait a minute".

This song has a feeling of corruption too. But not in a good way this time. It feels evil and intimidating and - honestly, I can't get enough of it. Everyone of my neighbours will think I'm some kind of weird Christian fanatic because I WILL yell "Glaubenskraft" just as much as I yelled "Stossgebet". Worth it, tho.

Call of the wild

The song with the same title as the album! (or the other way around, whatever.) This song is just catchy from the beginning to the end. Like many other songs its fast and hard. Just how I like it. Don't take that out of context.

The lyrics and instruments go wild (haha get it), with a really neat Latin pre-chorus. It's very fun to listen to. Personally, it makes me feel like I belong to the pack. That we're strong together, that we can say fuck it once in a while and just go crazy. The chanted part near the end of the song reminds me strongly of Sanctified with dynamite (ya know "die, die dynamite" and "call, call, call of the wild") and it's really cool they pick up on old things once again. Be it intentional or not. It's a reminder that they still are who they were back then - and their music is still fucking incredible.

Simply an epic song, strong vocals, strong guitars. I really, really like the intro. Attila has to sing so many words in such little time, does he even need to breathe now and then?

Now I'm wondering what came first; the album title or the track title? Chicken or the egg?

Sermon of swords

First of all: WHAT IS THAT OMINOUS VOICE IN THE BEGINNING. Mark me down as horny and scared. Ahem.

I really like how the verse and the chorus have their own theme and melody going on and yet they're connected. The chorus is super catchy too! And just say it yourself "Sermon of swords", how cool does it sound??? The choir in the beginning is a really neat introduction into the whole song. The lyrics match the whole album, very much a soundtrack to go on a crusade to, like Raise your fist, Evangelist or Christ & Combat. Just... "AAMEEN!" Ok, I'm actually going insane here, calm down, Feb. These might be my favourite lyrics of the whole album I think?? (unless I said that somewhere else already, then i have more than one favourite.)

The whole song has a more "classical" feeling to it, not only in the Powerwolf sense but also in the Heavy Metal sense in general. BUT. Orchestra and choir are prefectly mixed, especially supporting Attila in the chorus. The guitar solo is really cool and sounds very Greywolf-y, if you know what I mean. It's just Matthew's style.

Undress to confess

The name of this song says it all. This is your friendly reminder that no matter how much they preach about Jesus or the Devil, Powerwolf should not be taken too seriously. When I first saw the title I couldn't help but chuckle a little.

The melody is pretty catchy and easy to remember, the organ and general approach reminds me of Demons are a girl's best friend. I absolutely love how the lyrics are on that thin line of somewhat poetic and ridiculous. Let me provide two examples here: "all the world we posess for desire and sin we carress" - man, this sounds pretty.

And there's also "dressed to hide the dark, and obsessed to ride him hard on the.... crucifix." Yeah, I... I don't know what I expected here. Anyway, this is how you describe church sex without actually using explicit words. (why are you booing me, i'm right)

Still really nice to listen to and have a good time!

Reverent of rats

We arrived at the last song of the album! And here we picked up on the speed and power again! The way the organ is played during the verses makes it so... sinister. Again, this piece reminds me of Lupus Dei. The verses keep the sinister feeling while the chorus picks up more... drama? An epic melody mixed with epic words make my soul ascend to heaven.

This guitar solo is also the absolute good shit. It might be my favourite from all the songs of this album?! Additionally, the drums? I don't know why but they really stand out here. Love how fast paced they are.

Aaaaand that's it! If you've read all the way through holy shit, you are actually a badass. Thank you for staying with me, my werewolf friend. Maybe we'll meet where the wild wolves have gone. But always remember: Metal is religion.

always forever

Always Forever

pairing: rnb singer!iwaizumi x f!reader (technically its gn until the very end though)

summary/warnings: Iwaizumi asks his fwb to be in his new music video basically/aged up as the normal, fwb dynamics?, implied nsfw (aka asking to come over later), cursing, pretty tame tbh

Music video is Always forever // bryson tiller

a/n: this is 3k words of me wanting to start an rnb series and this stemmed from the headcanons i had started working on where i said “asks u to be in his mv”

“Are you guys nervous?” The question has a teasing nature to it which causes both you and Iwaizumi to look up from your respective phones to be met with Oikawa’s amusement. 

“I think the video came out well. I am the one who produced it after all,”

Oikawa was met with a scoff from you and an unamused look from the man beside you. “I think I also did a really good job with casting didn’t I?” You don’t miss the mischief in his eyes as he looks between the two of you. You’re heard mumbling something about him being annoying before stating that you needed to go to pee. The door to the small studio closes with a click before Oikawa takes what was your place. The spot on the couch right next to Iwaizumi. “When are you gonna ask (Y/N) out?”

“When are you going to learn to mind your own business,” the words come out with a sigh, but the slight redness that creeps up Iwazumi’s neck isn’t missed by his friend. 

“I’m just trying to help my dear friends out,” he waves off. “You’re about to drop a music video where you’re making out with (Y/N), which by the way you two looked awfully comfortable doing.” The suspicion in his voice isn’t missed and the reaction, or lack thereof, by Iwaizumi causes the brunette's eyes to widen in disbelief. “What the fuck—when did- is that why you wanted (Y/N) in the video,” “Will you keep it down.” This time iwaizumi groans before covering his face with his hands. “We’ve been weird for a few months now” he ignores the shock on his friends face. “When you came up with the concept, I don't know my mind just automatically drifted.” It took a moment for the shock to wear off before Oikawa speaks back up. “Are you two dating? What else have you been keeping from me. Your best friend might I add” “Would you shut up. We’re not dating it’s just-“ “That’s even worse,” Oikawa scoffs. “Not only do you keep the fact that you’re hooking up with (Y/N) a secret for who knows how long, but you’re not even dating to soften the wound.” He easily dodges the shove aimed at him by getting up. You’d be back soon and he figured he’d move back to his spot in the chair. Especially now. “You know Iwa, the two of you had chemistry. I’m sure I won't be the only one who picks up on that.”

— — — — — — — — “Iwa say something fun for once so (Y/N) can actually look like they wanna be here. We’re gonna reshoot that moment.” At the call from Oikawa you let out a laugh, head instinctively falling on Iwaizumi’s chest.  “And Y/N, run your finger across his lip or something. You two are so stiff” “He’s not funny.” You can feel the words vibrate through his chest as you sit up a bit. As you do, you feel the way his finger shifts from your clothed back to the bare skin under the T-shirt. “You gotta admit he is sometimes,” you laugh out. “But he’s right. Come on Haiji, loosen up. This is for your first single off your long awaited album,” you exclaim sitting up fully now on the mattress. Iwaizumi can’t help but smile at the lilt in your voice before following suit. When he asked you to be the love interest in his music video you were kind of shocked. Sure, being friends with several musicians you’d been in your share of music videos. But never as a lead or a love interest. He’d asked you one night as he was heading home from a recording session. You’d stopped by after work seeing several of your friends there (working or just messing around, who knows). Everyone else had headed home for the night and he casually bought it up. “Hey Y/N?” The sound of his voice stopped you as you began heading to the door, Iwazumi trailing behind. You hummed a bread acknowledgement before turning to face the man. “What’s up?” Your eyes furrowed in concern. Something was off about him. He almost seemed nervous but you couldn’t be sure. “I chose the first single off the new album. Always Forever.” The news was a surprise to you. He’d been grappling between a few songs off the future release for a few weeks now, confiding in you several times about not knowing what to pick. He hadn’t told you that he finally decided on a track. “Oikawa came up with a video concept like the next day too-“ he was stalling. Something he only did when he was nervous. The speed at which your friend who had directed and produced several music videos for Iwazumi in the past peeked your interest. “I need a love interest and i was wondering if you’d be cool with it,” the words came out rushed and low but you still picked up on it and you felt your heart flutter for a moment. He was nervous. Nervous to ask you to be in his video. Your answer came embarrassingly quick yet you ignored it and played it off. “Of course. You got anyone else in mind for the video?” “It’s just us.” “Oh.” And after that a flurry of scheduling, planning, costuming and more you were ready to go. You were currently shooting the first of several bedroom scenes. This particular one had you clad in just a T-shirt and pretty tight shorts, halfway cuddled onto Iwaizumi the two of you faux conversing. “Hey just relax. We've been close before-“ “Not in front of a camera,” Iwaizumi groans, flopping back on the bed. The warmth on the bare skin of your back has you looking at him eyebrows raised. “No ones paying attention to us right now. Besides, they wouldn’t be able to tell.” You feel his hand slide up and down your back careful not to drag the fabric of your shirt up. You don’t miss the way he eyes you blatantly checking you out. “You look really good. “Just wait to you see the look for that scene” And it didn’t disappoint. The minute Iwaizumi saw you step onto the set he was speechless. Of course this was the outfit he’d be kissing you in. “I look good don’t I? Yachi did it again,” you give a quick spin in the outfit. The orange silky fabric hugged you in all the right ways and looked as if it was made only for you. “Wow.” It was the only thing he’d said causing you to laugh. He’d thought that Oikawa had been exaggerating when he teased that you were going to look good hot in the video, because you always looked amazing to him. He made a mental note to fuss at his friend later for not giving him a heads up that you’d be looking like that. “Like it,” you question, pushing him back towards the bed prop. You were vaguely aware of Oikawa telling you to get in place and we’re only helping Iwaizumi out. The grip on your wrist had you stopping. “You look amazing,” you felt your confidence skyrocket as he eyed you. That and your heart flutter at the subtle caress against the underside of your wrist. It took for one obnoxious whistle by the director to break him out of his trance. Good thing too because he almost acted in a way that would’ve shown everyone there that the two of you were more than just friends. You couldn't help but laugh at the scowl sent Oikawa’s way.

The two of you made your way onto the mattress and you let Iwaizumi get settled first. This particular scene had you straddling him and the reality of having to do so was finally hitting you. You're thankful for the set commotion going on around you—it means Iwaizumi’s tease isn’t heard by anyone else. “Nervous? Not like it’s your first time doing this.” Its enough to break the nerves that had started to form as you take his outstretched hand to help you up. 

“No wandering hands,” you whisper once you're finally settled, his eyes immediately catching yours. You don’t miss the way his breath catches for only a moment as you shift lightly across his lap before your hands find their way to his chest. 

“I could tell you the same thing” His hands find their way onto either of your thighs giving the slightest squeeze. 

“I hope you know I’m coming over tonight.” This causes him to laugh and you can’t help but smile back.” He jokes that he was already planning on that before you two are taken out of the little bubble you’d found yourselves into. 

“Remember you two have to kiss. Build it up slow. Put all that sexual tension you’ve got going to good use.” Your eyes widen quickly shifting to the man underneath you to gauge his reaction to Oikawa's words. He offers you the finest nod, an apology before flicking his friend off ignoring his “just saying Iwa,” before telling them to start the music. 

The track is so loud you could feel the bass practically through your body. You listen for the cue as your lean down face hovering over his. You're thankful for the moments before the camera rolls as it allows Iwaizumi to calm the nerves that had started growing again. “You ok?” Despite nodding, he saw right through you. 

His response is to guide one of your hands to his face, discreetly placing a kiss on your palm. “Relax. Pretend it’s just us. Just me and you. Can you do that.” You feel the hand not facing the camera offering comforting rubs along your leg before nodding. The part of the song nears closer as you lean in, lips ghosting his. “Good.”

Little did you know the part right before had been recorded as well. As soon as your cue hit your lips here on his. Moving as if you’d done this a million times rather than 1. The kiss started out as slow, lips moving hesitantly due to your awareness that you were in fact on camera. You’d pulled back just the tiniest bit almost ready to ask if that were good before Iwaizumi quickly stopped you. “Relax baby,” before pressing his lips back to yours. The words sent several emotions through you. He’d never called you that before. Yet it was enough to shake the hesitation. You allowed yourself to get loss in the kiss and in the way he smiled against your lips. You were vaguely aware of Oikawa yelling out praises and more instruction. 

“Keep your hand right there (YN)!” “Soften the grip just a little” “Wait Iwa let Y/N take the lead”

You pulled away when the need to breathe overcame you. Your eyes locked on his now shiny lips, a quiet apology escaping you. 

The sound of footsteps quickly approaching you forced you to slide yourself off his lap and onto the edge of the bed instead. “Well that was—hot. Now I’m gonna need you two to do it again. I want to try a different angle”

— — — — — — —

It’d been two hours since the music video dropped and you had to shut your phone off while you were at work. You’d been getting tagged in dozens of tweets. Fans of Iwaizumi are either speculating ‘I just knew (YN) was dating someone. You’re not friends with that many musicians and can’t not be’ or complaining that their fav was in a relationship or could’ve done better, or better yet that he was still dating Oikawa and they weren’t ready to go public. You haven't spoken to Iwaizumi since the night before when you saw the final version, edits and all before he dropped you off. 

You sigh in relief when you see the time and that you could finally go to lunch. Turning your phone on, you clock out and scroll through the notifications on your phone. A few from friends, congratulating the video or suggestive emojis with question marks. The only one that stands out are three texts from Iwaizumi 

You take lunch at 12:30 right?

Coming by with food

Hey, whenever you’re out I’m parked out back. Far end of the lot. 

Despite your surprise you send a text confirming that you were on the way before heading out. 

“What did I do to earn lunch from the Iwaizumi Hajime? Famous singer and wet dream to many.” It’s the first thing you say when you see him. He’d reached over to open the door and you hadn’t even gotten in yet. You only laugh at the look he shoots at you, knowing it was fake annoyance as he told you to just get in the car. 

“Congrats on the single. And the video,” 

“Couldn’t have done it without you.” You watch as he reaches in the bag to pull out a takeaway bag from one of your favorite spots. “So I brought you lunch. Figured I’d treat you for being in the video.” You gratefully take the container offering a thanks and follow his lead as he scoots his seat back. He almost looks as if he wanted to say something else but decided against it, instead turning on the aux. You’re aware of the way his eyes keep falling on you as you eat and it has a feeling of unease settling in. 

“You gonna eat or keep staring at me?” The words come out quieter than you wanted them to and you mentally curse yourself for it. He mumbles an awkward sorry which has you shifting uncomfortably in the seat. Something was up. You finish your lunch unusually fast. Maybe it was due to the way you forced your focus onto the meal rather than the strange tension that had settled in the air. The sound of Iwaizumi clearing his throat has you looking back at him and you suddenly find yourself annoyed at the dark sunglasses covering his eyes and thoughts. 

“I actually wanted to talk to you about something. But I figured I’d let you eat first just in case we ran out of time.” He motions for you to hand him your trash before moving the bag out the way. The way he nervously knots the bag does nothing to settle your own thoughts. “It’s about the video, well kind of”

“Do people hate it?” Your voice comes out disappointed. Not because of people’s thoughts of you, but you knew how much this song meant to him. He chose it as the single for a reason and wanted it to be the start of releasing his favorite album yet. You’d heard about how late he got back from the studio, and even witnessed some of his writing sessions for it and the intensity, care and passion that went into each song. 

“I haven't been online much today but from what I’ve seen they like it. But that’s not what I mean. I kinda wanted to talk about us.”

“Oh”

“Yeah,” he sighs before removing his sunglasses to face you. “Oikawa knows about us messing around. He found out yesterday when you went to the bathroom. Said we had chemistry and he put two and two together.” He rushes the words out but you’re still able to understand. “Listen, I’m sorry. I just didn’t want him to like blabber it to you. Sometimes I hate how smart he is.”

You let out the tiniest laugh. “Dude why were you so nervous to tell me that Oiks knows were sleeping together.” Suddenly all the tension that had been building seemingly cleared. “Like you said. He’s smart. I’m surprised it’s taken this long.” You watch as he considers your words before agreeing.

“He told me that others would be able to pick up on our chemistry. Mattsun and Makki both texted me about the video so I guess he was right.” This time you agree. You’d gotten your own texts from mutual friends. Friends who should’ve been focused on their tours overseas rather than your love life. You’d have to remember to text Kuroo back later. 

“Speaking of that. There’s one more thing I wanted to say. Actually it’s why i came down here.” You watch as he turns down the radio completely before grabbing at one of your hands. “I haven't slept with anyone else since you and everyone was right. We do have chemistry and I like you.”

“Are you asking me out,” your hand tightens slightly around his before he nods. 

“I’m asking you to be my girlfriend, if that’s ok with you? We already made out on camera, it’ll be really awkward if you say no,” he teases. He could already tell by the way your eyes lit up. He also may have gotten a confirmation from a friend that you were into him too. 

“Skipping the dating stage? How bold of you. But I guess I’m gonna have to say yes. I like you too. But now you have to write a song about me.” It’s you that leans in first but he’s quick to follow his handling coming to rest on your cheek. His next words have you pausing and pulling away right before your tips touched his, much to his annoyance. 

“Already done that. Several times”

“Wait are you serious,” his lips come to meet your cheek as you avoid him yet again. “What songs.”

“Can we talk about this later. I kinda want to kiss my girlfriend before she has to go back to work.” His eyes shift towards the clock and you see that it’s almost time for you to head back. 

“Come on just one song Haiji.” 

“Kiss first. Song second,” he sighs in compromise, pulling your face back towards him. You roll your eyes before agreeing, placing your lips on his. Unfortunately for him your phone's alarm goes off signaling it was time for you to head back. You can’t help but laugh at the way Iwaizumi groans in annoyance. “See now it’s time for you to go,” he scolds before pressing a quick peck against your lips. Then a second and third before pulling back for good. “Can I come over tonight?”

“Not unless you tell me a song.” Your hand creeps towards the door handle as he stays silent. “I’m leavingggg. You got 15 seconds.” You mentally start counting down as you put more and more pressure on the door handle. Right as you reach 1 he speaks. 

“Learn Ya is about you. Now I’ll see you tonight.” With that he gently pushes you out the car, rolling the window down as you start walking back. “Have a good day.”

a/n: now listen idk what this is or if it even makes sense. all i know is that i wanted to be both bryson and lani and didnt know who i was more jealous of. and iwa gives me bryson vibes. also wrote this over several days little by little and did not read in its entirety so who knows if it even makes sense.

Meeting Vernon for the first time

title: A meeting by chance

pairing: Hansol x reader

genre: oneshot, scenario

about: fluff, fansign!au

summary: you weren’t actually a fan of seventeen however your roommate was a big fan of their band. She was supposed to attend their fansign but she unfortunately fell sick that day and begged you to go in her place, to get their signatures.

“please Y/n, please you have to go in my place. i’m BEGGING you.” your roommate pleaded you, sniffing, while hugging your arm. You rolled your eyes and continued playing your game. “F/n, you need to stay away from me. i don’t need your flu germs as much as i love you” your roommate sighed, adjusting the surgical mask she was wearing and wrapped the fluffy blankets closer to her.

“Y/n, this is a chance of a lifetime. if i can’t go YOU have to go FOR me. please” she begged you again and showing you her puppy eyes. “I’ll uh do your laundry for one and a half month” you hummed and shrugged your shoulders, showing that you weren’t interested in her deal.

“Fine, i’ll fix you your meals and always restock the snack basket for you” you blinked at her and gave her a look saying, you know better than that. “FINE a new skateb-“

“deal.” you said, eyes still focused on your game

your roommate jumped and hugged you while squealing. “thank you sooo much, okay i definitely owe you”

“yes F/n, you do”

“i can’t believe i got sick....this is horrible. But at least i have you, now get off your game. i need to teach you some stuff you have to do for me at the fansign”

“i’m finishing, go eat your meds and then we’ll talk”

your roommate nodded, couldn’t fight with you anyways.

After finishing up your match, you stretched your arms and neck finding them a little stiff after playing too long. You walked out of your little apartment to where you found your roommate finishing up her soup that you made earlier in the morning. you pulled out a chair and joining her at the dining table. you placed your chin on your hand and looked to the right, looking at the bag of stuff on the couch

“ok Y/n, there’s 13 members. And i have a newer album for them to sign on. i’ve packed goodies and specific items to give each member. so just try to listen out for their name and you’d be able to give it to them” you nodded. 13 members, that’s a lot, you thought.

“Anyways you gotta reach there early and start queuing. Thank you so much again, try not to get lost babe” You sighed, and watched her finish eating and then helped her wash the dishes and made sure she went to bed.

you looked through the bag of goodies and you also found pictures next to each members name. Vernon, you found. You carefully picked up his item and brushed your fingertips at his picture so as to not crumple anything. He’s gorgeous i should also probably learn abit more about them for tomorrow

you just wanted to learn about vernon.

American-South Korean rapper. real name is Hansol, 1.78 metres, 22 years old. He’s older than you. positioned as main rapper and in the Hip-hop unit

hmm not bad, pretty muscular too. you thought to yourself, looking at his form and couldn’t help but stare into his mesmerising eyes, even if it was a photograph.

you even watched their HOME;RUN MV since you were curious as to the music they produce. You couldn’t help it when your eyes continued following vernon dancing and rapping the whole times

for some reason you just couldn’t look away.

Anyways you shook your head and checked the time before deciding it was better for you to turn in for tomorrow’s event.

When the next morning came, you woke up early, washed up, and had breakfast before checking your roommate if she needed anything. F/n was still asleep so you took abit longer in choosing your outfit, a simple cropped sweater set and jeans. Clipping your hand in a claw clip before carrying the bag filled with seventeen items and your ticket and heading out.

You were definitely slightly shocked at the amount of people who were already waiting patiently for the even to start, but your roommate did warn you about being early beforehand. You read the signs and went to queue for your turn. You waited almost an hour or two, waiting for the time your name would finally be called to lineup front

Now you could see the boys lined up in a row. Your roommate was right when she said that these boys, they literally sparkled. You turned to look at every one of them, your gaze lingering on one specific member. you got ready your things as you started off with the first member in the row, Seungcheol. The boys were actually very friendly and warm towards their fans, and although you had explained why sometimes you needed to ask for their name because you were only helping out a friend, they still treated you with respect and asked about you.

it was nice to see how the boys kindly treat their supporters. You finally got to Joshua, your palms were getting a bit sweaty since the next member was vernon.

Joshua flashed you a warm smile, which reminded you of sunshine and teddy bears.

“What’s your name.” joshua said getting ready to sign on the album. “oh uh, i’m Y/n, but could you help me sign off with F/n.” you replied.

Joshua looked at you kind of curious as to how you were abit more calm as compared to previous fans when meeting him and the rest.

“i’m here for a friend, she was supposed to come but she fell sick yesterday and didn’t want to risk spreading her awful germs to anyone. i didn’t really know you guys, but my friend really complimented all of you” you smiled awkwardly.

joshua gave you a nod and a look saying he understood what you were saying. “Wow your roommate must be lucky to have a friend who would do so much for her, even when she doesn’t know the band. tell her to get well soon for me.” he smiled and signed on the album while initiating a conversation with you. Joshua was very welcoming, and he made the conversation very comfortable so you were pretty immersed in it.

Vernon finished signing the album of the fan infront of him when he looked up and his eyes landed on you. his heart unconsciously skipped a beat and he didn’t understand why he felt a pull towards you. Of course you were one of the prettiest girls he has ever met, but he just felt attracted to you. when Joshua raised his hand to give you a high five and the both of you locked hands for a while. Vernon felt a need to pull you away from him. the sight of you smiling towards Joshua and not him, slightly bummed him.

it was so weird how fast he felt a connection with you. it was like he couldn’t take his eyes off you. But he had to, focusing on the fan infront of him and waving her off, knowing you were next.

you bid goodbye to Joshua as the staff requested that you moved to the next member. Your heart started beating faster as you placed the album infront of vernon and picked up his item from the bag to pass it to him. He smiled and thanked you for the gift. Vernon’s smile left you mesmerised and for a while you stared at him

“What’s your name” Vernon said in a voice that left you nervous

“Y/n, ah but this album is for a friend so if you don’t mind, could you use F/n. i watched an MV of your song for the first time yesterday and you were probably the most amazing i felt. but don’t tell the rest, they were awesome too.” the last part you sort of whispered

but vernon heard every word you and his cheeks started blushing slightly.

“Thank you Y/n, you know i don’t say this a lot but i think, in this hall, you shine the brightest.” Vernon gave you a bigger smile and reached for your hand, interlocking them with his. you were amazed and shocked by how much your smaller hand fit inside his way bigger hand. he swayed your hands side to side as he continued writing on the album while engaging a conversation with you.

Vernon made you feel like the only two people in this room were the two of you. you felt an attraction for him that you’ve never felt for anyone before.

however, soon it was time to move on to the next member. Vernon gave you a slight pout and wrote something swiftly on a piece of paper and sliding in into the album. He winked at you and you knew that message was for you.

He was the third last member thus you soon reached the end of the line and you bid goodbye to DK, the last member.

You stayed a little while afterwards for one performance. It was definitely dazzling, watching them dance in tune to each other, smiling to the audience and engaging with their fans. You wanted to learn more about them.

Unknowingly, Vernon was always looking at you. The whole time. Even when he was rapping or just standing and waiting for another member to give a speech, his eyes never moved away from you. He rapped his heart out for you. Maybe it was because he loved how excited you looked whenever his part came on, or the smile that grew wider when they danced to the song.

You breathed out a sigh and stretched out your arms when you left the building, sadly you had to check on your roommate and leave for your part time job.

your hand touched your chest where your heart laid. It was a wonderful time, meeting the boys and watching them perform in real life.

oh! you remembered the note that vernon left you. you quickly dugged out the album from your bag and flipped to the pages. The small piece of paper fell and it looked like a napkin.

written in scribbled handwriting,

Y/n

YUNHO POV

I shared the news of gaining a girlfriend with my members. San and Seonghwa were expecting it, and the rest of the members congratulated me as well.

Hongjoong was happy for me too, but he seemed a little worried. "Make sure you protect yourself, we can't let this relationship go public since it's time for our debut soon. And talk with the manager about it too." he advised.

The manager didn't not take the news as well as the others though. We were having our weekly group meeting today, and when I announced the news of my new girlfriend to our manager, he just furrowed his eyebrows, showing lines of stress on his forehead.

"Did you expect me to congratulate you?" he asked, rubbing his forehead. Before I could answer, he interrupted me by saying, "You know what, sure. I'm not going to force you to break up with her, just make sure your relationship remains a secret." he said with the calmest voice he could manage to bring out.

"And no matter what, make sure the chairman doesn't find out. I'll try my best to cover you two, but if word gets out, don't tell anyone in the company that I knew about this relationship." He gulped, worried and lowered his voice, motioning the rest of the members to come closer. In a whispered voice he said, "My job and head is on the line here so please, I beg you, don't mess up kids. I only want what is best for you. But otherwise, congrats Yunho." he gave me a small smile.

I smiled back and Mingi who was sitting next to me patted my shoulder reassuringly.

"Other news! Since today your debut mv goes up, we're going to have a private dinner funded by the company to celebrate!" the manager looked at me. "Private. So if you want you can bring your girl." he smiled.

Just then, we saw the silhouette of a black shadow quickly pass by the meeting room. "What was that? This was supposed to be a private meeting." Frustrated, the manager stood up and walked outside.

We heard him talking to someone, but couldn't process what was going on. He walked in and sighed. "We really need to keep our new staff in check. They can't just wander around like that!"

"What happened?" Hongjoong asked.

"Just some new employee. She didn't even have a name tag on her, but she said she was lost trying to find HR. I directed her there and scolded her, but hopefully she isn't harmful." The manager looked at me and covered my hand.

"Don't worry, this secret stays only in this room." he looked at the other members. "No one in here is allowed to tell anyone else except for Yunho's parents maybe." Everyone nodded and sat back down, so we could continue with our meeting.

NO ONE POV

"I got the evidence sir. Confirmed, Yunho of Ateez is dating the girl from the restaurant." the girl opened a picture of Yunho sitting across from Y/N at a restaurant.

"Good work. This group was getting on my nerves. Didn't even debut and yet they were getting so much recognition from different influencers. It's about time we set up a scandal." the man said sipping his tea. "When did you say it was their debut?"

"Today, they debuted with their first album and title track 'Pirate King,' October 24, 2018."

"Nice. Were you able to do a background check on the girl?"

"She is a personal trainer, known for training olympics athletes and idols. This time KQ entertainment hired her to personally train Yunho, which is how I am theorizing they started to date."

"Nice! Write an article about the scandal just like that. Do it right away, and release it tomorrow morning at 10 AM. Rookie group debuts chocolate abs idol. But wait! He's taken? I can see the headlines and the hashtags on twitter in my head already!" The man cackled like a maniac.

"Of course sir!"

-

Y/N POV

"Aah Yunho! Slow down!"

"What do you mean I'm going easy on you!"

"No you're too fast!"

We were in ATEEZ's dorm in the front living room. We came back from eating dinner with the rest of the team. I met the rest of the members, who were super nice to me. The manager discussed how I needed to keep my relationship private, and I understood. That meant no more flaunting my dates with him on outstagram, but that was fine.

And right now, I was playing this car racing game with him on his playstation. It was my first time playing, but he was being ruthless with me.

"Yunho! Help me I crashed!" I pouted, pointing at my screen.

Yunho playfully rolled his eyes at me. "I already won the game. Here, what about you practice with some easy NPCs first rather than going against me?"

My frown widened. "But I wanted to play with you,"

He chuckled and scooted closer to me on the couch. "I'll be right here, so don't worry Y/N."

He literally set the NPC to the easiest setting, and yet I was still last place, because I kept crashing. This time, I was stuck in mud, and no matter how much I revved the digital engine, the car would not budge.

"This is frustrating!" I said, putting down my controller in fury.

"Aw, don't rage quit," Yunho took the controller and put it in my hands. Suddenly, he scooted all the way over to me, not leaving any space between us and hugged me from the behind. He placed his hands over mine on the controller and guided my fingers through the controls.

"See, if you move to the left a little, you can go around the puddle and get out using this slope, and there! You're in the game again!"

He continued to guide me through the rest of the game, with me sitting there, head resting against his chest, and his chin resting gently on the top of my head.

"Yunho! We won!" I giggled.

He tilted my chin gently to face him. "No, you won Y/N" he said before gently kissing me on the lips.

That was the first time he did that...

I smiled at him and felt my face turning red. Geez, I was so whipped for him.

-

YUNHO POV

She grinned at me and started blushing. I couldn't help it, she was too cute.

I took the controller out of her hands and put in on the table in front of us, not losing eye contact with her as I leaned closer and closer to her, cornering her to the back of the couch. I reached up and touched her honey skin that was now lightly tinted pink.

I traced my fingers across her forehead, her cheek, her jawline, and her lips, slowly examining the small perfectly imperfect details of her face.

I looked back up to meet her eyes. "I love you Y/N, you know that right."

Her eyes softened at my touch. "I love you too Yunho."

Slowly, making sure I wasn't making her feel uncomfortable, I met my lips with hers. They were so soft, and tasted like strawberry lollipops. I held the back of her neck, supporting her neck since she was leaning up to reach me. She kissed back gently, and I could feel her tugging on my bottom lip, and I let out a small growl of satisfaction.

Slowly, my lips traveled to other parts of her face. Her small dimple on her left cheek, her jawline, and tilting her head upward, I explored her neck. She let out little whimpers and I smiled against her honey skin.

"OH MY GAHD," We jumped up at the sudden intruder. She pushed my chest, forcing me to fly all the way across to the other side of the couch because of her immense arm strength. I groaned, holding my chest in pain and glared at our intruder.

"JEONG WOOYOUNG!"

-

Y/N POV

The boys chased each other around for some time, with Yunho threatening Wooyoung with a pillow and Wooyoung laughing and teasing him. It was even more entertaining than watching Mr. Hinx chase James Bond.

Wooyoung eventually apologized to me for interrupting so suddenly like that. We were both cool about the situation though. I figured it was getting late so I said my farewells to the two boys and headed out their dorm door.

"Are you sure you don't want me to accompany you home Y/N?" Yunho asked, holding my hand just as I was about to leave the building.

"I'm fine Yunho. If anyone tries to harm me I'll take them down with my muscle powers so don't worry!" I struck a funny boxing pose and we both laughed.

"I'll see you later then," we both tiny waved goodbye to each other and I made my way out into the nighttime streets with a huge grin on my face.

*click*

I turned my head around, wondering where that sound came from.

Weird, it sounded like a camera. Meh, must just be my head.

I shrugged and continued walking home.

❗️ What’s Wrong with Gahyeon? | Gahyeon

Request: Hello my insomnia friend, this is my second request because your writing is so good. The request is Gahyeon telling the reader that she is pregnant. As you can probably tell she’s my bias. She’s so beautiful. Thanks in advance

Plot: Gahyeon's strange mood change leads the ingenuous Reader to be confused. But soon, everything becomes clearer when a good discovery is made.

Words: 1,498

Genre: fluff

Notes: i tried to make it as neutral as i could, i hope i did a good job. have a nice read! ♡

There was something wrong with Gahyeon.

You knew what was wrong but surely you didn't know why. Yet, you realized that something different was going on in the past few weeks. And, even though you knew these strange things were happening, you didn't know exactly how to ask her anything other than "is everything okay?".

The weird things that were going on made you think a lot and never come to a conclusion. For example, sudden mood changes.

At times, Gahyeon was completely kind. You would wake up being covered by kisses and praises, long hugs and loving words spoken in your ear. But, later in the day, Gahyeon was suddenly furious at the way you pressed the buttons on the television’s remote control, saying that you were doing it too hard and, of course, would break it.

In fact, you were just pressing the buttons like you always did, it was no big deal, just something... normal. And that was what you responded to her, very calmly but a little surprised by the sudden change in her mood.

This led to another sudden change, which brought with it a pout on her lips, tears in her eyes and made her voice sounds fragile. All of this led you to embrace her, even with all the confusion forming in your head.

There were mornings during the weekend when you woke up before her, tried to wake her up with kisses, lots of affection, in every gentle way possible, but it was no use.

"5 minutes.", Gahyeon said, turning those 5 minutes into more two hours.

You thought it could be due to the effort to practice choreography for a new single or album, but remembered that the other times she had prepared for a comeback she didn’t act that way. When she used to ask you for the 5 minutes it was, in fact, 5 minutes. If it was more than that, it was only 10 more minutes. They didn't turn into a couple hours.

And as soon as she lay in bed again at night, she was even more sleepy. She did not even wish you good night; she could only put her head on the pillow and her mind would already travel to the world of dreams.

Maybe the comeback that Dreamcatcher was preparing was really exhausting, that's why she was so tired, you decided to think that way. So, in order not to fill her with questions, you just let her rest.

"Shall we eat something?", you suggested as you walked hand in hand through the park near your apartment at a Saturday afternoon.

"Of course."

"What you want to eat?"

"Hmm... I think I would like to eat a hot dog.", Gahyeon said, a smile on her lips as you both walked over to a foodtruck.

When you arrived, there were a feel people in line. You said your orders and, when Gahyeon was finishing hers, her last sentence caught you off guard.

"Oh, could you put condensed milk in it?", she said, as if it was the most natural thing.

The man inside the truck was motionless for a few seconds, not understanding what that request was about, thinking that it was some kind of joke since it had never been asked before. And you stood beside her, frowning, a big question mark on your face because in so long in a relationship with Gahyeon, knowing all her preferences and favorite foods, that had never happened. 

And condensed milk? On the hot dog? This was something completely new.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, but we don't have condensed milk.", he said, still wondering about the order.

"Ah, that’s sad... I was really in the mood to have a hot dog with some condensed milk. But maybe next time.", she thanked you and you took your orders.

You teased her a little about it and for the rest of the week you made some jokes related to condensed milk.

"Hey, honey, I'm cooking some pasta, do you want what kind of sauce? Or maybe you prefer condensed milk...", you laughed but, inside Gahyeon's mind, it didn't seem like a bad idea.

She complained of back pain, nausea and dizziness. You insisted on taking her to the hospital, feeling like this couldn't be normal, but Gahyeon said she needed to dedicate herself to the comeback. She would just take a deep breath and soon it would all be over.

You didn't know what exactly was wrong, but you knew it was making everything... weird.

Then one day, on your way home from work, you opened the door and heard some laughter coming from the living room. You left your shoes by the door and followed the laughter.

All the girls were there, Gahyeon sitting on the big L shapped sofa with Siyeon, Yoohyeon and Minji on her left, Handong, Dami and Bora on her right, there was music playing but it was low and you couldn't be able to hear it because of the conversation.

"Oh, are you having a party and you didn't invite me? And in my own apartment?", you said playfully.

All eyes turned to you and the girls smiled at you.

"Hey, Y/N, in reality we were already leaving...", Siyeon said, standing up and looking at the others, signaling them to do the same.

"Ah, yeah... You have a lot to talk about," said Minji, patting your shoulder.

”Like a lot!”, Yoohyeon said, patting your head.

Without understanding a thing, you remained standing in the room as they said their goodbyes and headed for the door. Gahyeon was sitting on the couch, quiet, but with a beautiful smile hanging on her face. You knew she was hiding something, but you didn't know exactly what it was. All the doubts were driving you crazy.

"Okay... I'm clearly missing something here.", You said, eyes narrowed on Gahyeon.

"Come here, love ...", she called you and you sat next to her on the sofa. "Today I got sick while filming the MV and-"

"What? And you didn't call me? Jeez, Gahyeon!"

"Hey, it's okay, I'm already fine, really.", she took your hands and caressed them. "It was the manager's perfume. It was too strong and I threw up and it was a mess... But anyway, it doesn't matter. They took me to the hospital and I had to do a few exams."

"And now you're feeling better, right?", you asked, obviously concerned.

Gahyeon's smile widened and she looked at you with teary eyes. The silence that followed your question could be replaced by a drum roll and would have the same result: your heart and breathing slightly accelerated, worries running through your veins. Whatever it was, Gahyeon should say it right before you freak out.

"Look, love, say it before I-"

"I'm Pregnant."

You said at the same time. Your face froze and you swore that the silence followed by Gahyeon's words could make it possible for you to hear a needle falling on the ground from miles away. Your heart was beating but you didn't know if you were breathing. Was she serious? Or was it a prank?

You looked at her face, that beautiful smile on her sweet lips and her eyes letting a few tears of happiness escape on a path down her fluffy cheeks. You wiped away her tears and took a deep breath.

"Are you serious?", your voice was low, almost like a whisper.

"Yes, I am pregnant, love."

"Wow.", you allowed yourself to smile and it all started to make sense in your head.

All the doubts you had about sudden changes in mood, excessive sleep, dizziness, nausea, these were all signs of the preciousness that Gahyeon kept inside her. A little secret from you both that in a few months would emerge into this world bringing even more joy to the apartment that you shared for some years.

You finally found out what was wrong with Gahyeon and in fact there was nothing wrong with her, she was perfect, everything was perfect and going an even better way. And looking at her, the prettiest woman in the world, you felt lucky.

"So are we going to have a baby?", you couldn't stop smiling at her, your faces were close and you caressed her cheek.

"We are going to have a baby.", she agreed and you allowed yourself to join her in happy tears.

"Well, it looks like now I'm going to have to take care of two babies at home, then.", you joked and made her laugh.

You knew that, with the arrival of a child in your lives, new responsibilities and concerns would also come, you would need to dedicate yourself a lot to this little life that would make everything feels better with their coming. But with Gahyeon, you knew you could be stronger than anything.

"I hope you're ready...", you said with a confident smile. "... because we will be the best parents in the world."

BTS BE ALBUM REVIEW

So, I have seen reviews on albums done before and I wanted to get my thoughts out somewhere. This little thing came into being because of that!

First off, I would definitely recommend BE for those who are struggling. It is a good source of comfort, for sure, if you are going through a rough time and I can understand how others would love this album as I have already seen. I think the boys put in work for this one and it definitely shows! I’m especially proud of Kook for his directing skills in the MV. It was very well done and I am so glad he seemed to have had a good time doing that as he stated in the Global Press Conference yesterday!

BE is a very interesting album in terms of the styles of the songs with three of the eight being retro-themed (Dynamite, Telepathy and Dis-ease) with the other three being slower and more melancholy (Life Goes On, Blue and Grey and Fly To My Room). Personally, I liked 7 better than this one, but that is just my opinion! I have seen lots of other people on Tumblr commenting their favorite songs off BE amongst other loving praises that I’ve come across and I think that is wonderful.

For me, though, I will say that Life Goes On definitely caught me off guard as I wasn’t expecting that style of song at all. Despite that, the fact that my bias directed this MV was something very unique that I really enjoyed seeing. If words would embody this song, I would choose succor’s solace as the epitome of this track. It is relief rolled into audio and it is such a gift to have a song like this in the hard times that we have been attacked with. It is soft yet firm in its tone and both balance each other very well to coalesce into a very comforting song. 

 This is certainly a song that you’d listen to on the way home from work after a long day or while you’re in the midst of studying, doing schoolwork or even at home working on assignments or tasks for your job. It is also something you’d listen to when you feel like the problems and struggles you face are just too much and need to be reminded that, per the song’s title, life continues on and that we must push forward to enjoy the little things and the big. I liked this track the most, I think. I myself am facing some things in my life right now and the core message of this song resonated deeply with me. To that end, this track is every bit the comfort song they intended it to be and this song, along with Spring Day, sit at the same table for breakfast, lunch and dinner!

Fly To My Room’s mellow beat is something that I think would be a great listen at night after the trials and woes of the day and it was interesting to see sope/vmin in the same track and how those two subunits meshed together to create something entirely new and unseen before.

Blue and Grey... this one sounded familiar to me and it took me all but two seconds to realize where I had heard it before. This is the same song that Taehyung teased in Bon Voyage when he was sitting in the canoe out on the lake. The song sounded so very different in this rendition and I was very surprised to see this song in the album when I had originally thought it would be in Tae’s mixtape! 

This is definitely a song you listen to in the rain and when the sun has been masked by the clouds in the sky. It is also a song you’d listen to once the sun has set and you walk outside just to have some fresh air and reminisce either about the past or to think on the stresses of your present. I think this track has the power to ease both and that is a powerful thing, indeed.

Telepathy I really liked! I think the upbeat form of this one definitely was a nice break from the slow beat of the first three songs on the album and, because this one is BTS’s love letter to ARMY, I think that is a very special thing that we as their fans should cherish in their thought towards us during the times that have befallen us and taken from us (and them) their ability to see us beyond a screen. I think the flow of the song is perfect and the flux of the voices of the members works very well for the positive energy they are trying to instill in it. From beginning of this song, when I heard it, I knew I was going to like it. It had a starry, celestial vibe to it and for some reason, when I hear it, I think of shooting stars that fly through the night sky. 

True to that image, this is a song you’d listen to when you’re with friends to recall the bonds you make with those closest to you (and those farthest from you) no matter where in the world they are. This is a song you’d also listen to to PARTY PARTY, YEAH! (I’m sorry, but ever since I heard that from Kook, it has been living in my mind rent free) In any case, this is a nice song to uplift you and would also be good to put on after a bad day so that you can look back on all the good things life despite the bad. That message is a very strong one, indeed, so that definitely makes this song a favorited one for me.

As an English major at my university, the title of Dis-ease was interesting as someone that often studies semantics and semiotics in language and literature. It was intriguing to see that they chose to deconstruct the word of disease and split it into its alternative form to convey an entirely new meaning from what one might assume the word means at first glance. While they could have chosen to name the song DISEASE, which is a word associated with sickness, illness or an ailing, afflicted health condition that most link with weakness and feebleness, BTS decided to utilize a play on words and use an older version of the word that now has two different meanings linked with it, I found it fascinating that they named the song what they did, for dis-ease was often used in the past to denote a lack of ease or absence of relief in an individual.

 It was only later that the word was changed once individuals started tagging health related conditions with actual infections or maladies when viruses and mental illnesses began to gain a name for themselves in the colonizing world. Ironically enough, the word dis-ease is now used by medical practitioners in healing environments for individuals that are on the road to eudemonia or betterment of themselves and the word is purposefully used to endow awareness of compromised health on a singular cause or root.

I don’t think I need to explain why that is significant in the scheme of the situation that our world has come to, but I shall say it anyway: this is meaningful in that BTS decides to fight back and combat the negativity that would threaten to swallow them (and those who listen and internalize the lyrics of the song for themselves and thusly feel the message they are trying to give to us) to instead grapple and wrestle with it by loudly bringing attention to it rather than allowing it to silently consume and germinate within them. This, for me, was very empowering to hear and is one of the many reasons why I appreciate this song in particular amongst the lyrics that target and attack the “diseases” that would try to take from us our wellbeing. The track is a battle cry to keep fighting and that, in it of itself, is a very powerful thing that strikes very deep within me. The bridge at the end with Kook and Jimin, by the way… literal EARGASM, MA’AM. Anyway, this is a song that you’d listen to in the morning to get yourself hype for the day. It is something you’d put on in the desire to boost your spirits if they are low and honestly could be listened to in any situation.

Lastly, we have Stay. This subunit of NamKookJin was certainly a pleasant surprise to me! Kook’s involvement in writing this track doesn’t go unnoticed in the emotion that is present in his voice (amongst Joon and Jin, of course), but there’s also something about this song that goes straight for the heartstrings in the pledge of continued loyalty that is subliminal in its subtlety. I adored this song and this track’s EDM style was a wonderful finale of the album in its summation that there are low points in life (as the first few tracks suggest) and that there are high points and life. I think that through this song, the three boys who sang in it were wonderful in their energy that was so vibrant.

 It was wonderful to hear the three of them meld together in a unit that also was unlike what we have heard before. I know the song must have meant a lot to the three of them because Joon is Kook’s role model as he has stated many times and to sing with one’s idol would certainly be a powerful thing, indeed. The fact that Jin was in it too much have had so much meaning for Kook since Jin is like a brother to him and took care of him (and honestly, he still does, let’s be real) when he was younger.

The song’s lyrics themselves reach out to the ARMY that Jungkook said the song was meant for in his, Joon’s and Jin’s efforts to remind us that, as their fans, they hope that we will always remain with them and that they know the times are going to change for the better. I enjoyed this song very much and it would definitely be a song you’d listen to be reminded of the love that BTS has for you and that despite everything, you will always have a place with them even if you feel lost in the world around you. I think a situation you’d put this on would be when you are need just that extra bit of confidence to get you through an anxiety inducing time whether it be a test for school or even a meeting for work.

With all of this in mind, my favorite songs are as follows: Dis-ease, Telepathy, Stay and Life Goes On. It is hard to pick a favorite among those four, but those were my most liked tracks for sure!

Overall, I think the album definitely is one meant to soothe the soul and the boys have succeeded in that without fail. It is clear that the boys worked hard on this and their efforts were not vain! This is an album that I think we all needed to close out a tough year and it took me some to get all my thoughts together, but now that I have listened to the whole album once again, I’m liking it more with each time I hear it. It is always amazing to me how BTS continues to do what no one else does: letting their genuine feelings shine through their music that inspires light in so many. I am proud of each and every one of them and they deserve some hard earned rest after their efforts!

H-el-ical// LIVE Limited Production Album Song Commentary 〜「H-el-ical//」Edition 〜♪Amanhecer

In this weekly series all H-el-ical// songs from the limited albums (only available at the live venue and through mail order) will be discussed. Hikaru and the composer Hideyuki Gushimiyagi will talk about the song production and share some inside stories. There will also be comments from other creators that participated in the making of the individual songs. Please be sure to check out everyone’s thoughts. A new video airs every Saturday at 20:00 (JST).

The first video in the series covered「pulsation」! The second video is a commentary on 「Avaricia」. The third instalment featured 「Splendore」.

This time video director YOSHIHISA BAMBA will provide answers for the questionnaire. Official Twitter Account

【H-el-ical//】Amanhecer MV【Official Video】 

Summary/Highlights below the cut 〈(•ˇ‿ˇ•)-→

Hikaru says the lyrics are like a fantasy about love filled with youthful charm, “fantasy” in the sense that it’s not actually a personal experience but just something she made up XD Gushi thinks there are probably many fans who were very excited when they first heard the song because they thought that these lyrics were based on a real experience. Sorry to disappoint XD Hikaru is too shy to write about her own love. And really, even writing about love in general was hard for her, this was her first time to do something like that. She couldn’t help but think of “water” or the “waterside” when she listened to the melody so these elements are featured heavily in the lyrics. Also, the image of “faint light” was very strong so that’s reflected in the lyrics (and the title) as well.

This time the video director YOSHIHISA BAMBA is answering the questions in the questionnaire.

What was your impression when you first heard the song? It reminded him of the feeling of falling in love with someone or at least becoming interested in someone. Both Hikaru and Gushi are happy to hear that because that was certainly the aim of the song. This universal feeling of a first love is quite easy to relate to. Hikaru says the song can not only be interpreted in relation to falling in love with a person. It can also be applied to the feeling of falling in love with something, of having an amazing first impression or becoming intrigued with a new obession or bias. Hikaru compares it to the feeling of finding your first “oshi”, all the excitement and such. She is sure everyone can relate to that.

Any difficulties in the making of the video? Expressing and showcasing the feeling of the song and the illustrations in the best way possible. Gushi says that the image of water is also very heavily reflected in the video, not just via the actual water that featured but also through the heavy use of blues and greens. It’s also nice how the video manages to create a confined space even though it features a lot of water. This is not a wide ocean or anything, this is a secluded and secret place for our two lovers

Anything you want the viewers to pay attention to while watching the video? He would be happy if everyone could enjoy the texture that binds the singing and illustrations together. Both Hikaru and Gushi think that the “light” is also displayed in a very lovely manner, the video is almost overflowing with light in some instances. They way it is shining through the trees for example. So yeah, the video director definitely did a good job at conveying a fitting atmosphere.

Hehe but why would I not do such nice things and reblog your amazing creations like ??? I must share, I must show love

Dhkadnsk I felt that xD and then shortly after we got wonho's comeback and I screamed because oh my gosh yesss!! This song is just flippen amazing, I really love that 80's vibe we are getting (it reminds me of songs my parents listen too from that time) and the dancing. I LOVE how just smooth he is dancing, apparently he wanted to appear like water for the dance and he pulled it off. I'm proud for both boys, they put out amazing works of art that has me both dancing and crying in the club

Exo wise, kyungsoo is amazing like you said, the way he is casual about his solo album talk is making me laugh but be excited like I'm curious what style he will go for? Sehun has a movie coming out soon I think (catboy for the win lol) and lastly chanyeol. Welp it seems to be an exo trend where the boys surprise us with something good and then they say "peace out" lol. This makes me laugh a bit, idk I'm weird cx but while I do wish we could have a bit something more from chanyeol (or him address the chaos from a while back) i hope he will do well at the military! It was going to happen soon for him and soon baekhyun so now nor never right?

Yeah I couldn't send an anon :c asks are on but not anon, not sure if it was a glitch on my end. But for mingyu, its getting a bit more chaotic if you have been catching up (I know you said you are taking a break which i support! I will miss seeing you active but take a break for sure! Your happiness and health is important and this news with mingyu is alot. Come back when ready of course! I'll be here and others as well!) But one thing for sure is pledis DID their job and put out an announcement! They confirmed one of the accusations to be false, they are working on getting things more cleared up and in the meantime mingyu is on a hiatus. Its a good step and I'm guessing for the more series stuff they are getting evidence and talking with everyone they can and put it out like starship did for kihyun. As a mingyu stan I'm happy one part is cleared up BUT this isn't far from being fixed which is what I'm seeing many fans say "oh we should have believed him in the first place" and I am sitting her confused because like no, it isn't? We don't know any of these idols, they are meant to just entertain us with music really as you said. They still need to clear up the first set of comments so I'm happy things are being done, its far from being finished so I'm staying in the middle still. All I know is there's the issue with mistranslations that also are causing problems

Ok i wrote alot I'm so sorry dnakdba but I hope you're doing good!! I may hope off on anon sometime in the future! Dont wanna bother you with shoving myself into your dms lol. Ps fudge kakao m as well

Weeks pass and the practices for the tour are over. The boys and I got closer and we had a lot of fun, inside the bedroom as well as outside of it. The spin the bottle got on hold, for now, even the boys have been busy with work, writing new songs, and producing the music for it. The new album that was on hold will be released next week, so some of their crew is flying here to shoot the MV, So the boys have a lot of meetings, via video calls with Mr. Lee and other important people. Because of it, we don't see each other that much now, I have to admit, I miss them dearly, and I know there are feelings involved, I know I love my soulmate, it’s encoded in my DNA and I'm helpless to stop it. And I'm pretty sure I feel the same about my Tiger and Tarzan. The others are not clear to me yet, but knowing myself, it'll happen for them too. They are such unique people. Never judging, always helping others. Namjoon's birthday party was a success, and I gave him the same gift as Jungkook. I'm quite curious what they came up with. Today the second part of the gift is set to take place so I meet them at the front door and we get in the car. "You have your design with you?", I ask both and they nod. I drive us to the tattoo shop and get out. Both are surprised and excited. We head inside and meet with the artist who is going to tattoo me. I know him from the dance show,  he dances for a hobby. His name is Alfred, and he is very talented. Alfred hugs me, "so what will you be getting?" he asked. "I don't know yet, let me ask the artists", I tell him, and turn to Namjoon and Jungkook. "So I thought you design something and pick the spot on my body, then Alfred here will tattoo it. If you don't like the idea, I'll get another gift for you. I've wanted a tattoo which would have a special meaning to me, and found this perfect." I look at them, and Jungkook looks very happy, but Namjoon is quite nervous. "I'm not good at drawing, so I wrote a little poem about you. I don't know if you like for it to be one you permanently", he shifts on his feet and fiddles with his fingers. He's cute being insecure. "Let me read it", and I hold my hand out. He hesitates and then he places the paper in my hand.

You're like the morning dew,

everything reminds me of you.

You've made a place in my heart,

so don't you dare make us part.

"It's short and sweet, I like it", I smile at him and he smiles back, dimples showing, unleashing their full power. He can be as cute as Jimin, but only when he's shy. I look at Jungkook, and he hands me his paper, on it is a drawing of a rose, entwined with a string of words, "those all tell what I think about you", he tells me shyly, a blush coloring his cheeks with pink, again very cute. They need to stop doing that, my heart can't take it. They don't even know how they affect me. I read the words and my breathing stops for a second, no one notices. All words say something beautiful, like mesmerizing, or compassionate, talented, friend, and a few more possessive sounding, like mine and my love. I don't question him why he chose these exact words. "Okay, where should he tattoo yours Namjoon?", I spread my arms and slowly turned on the spot. Namjoon thinks and he then points to my left wrist. "In Hangul, or another language?", I then ask him. "I prefer Hangul, but it's your body, so you decide." Jungkook already knows his spot and he touches below my neck, "just as is drawn please", he asks softly and I smile at him and then tell Alfred what is supposed to happen. He will do Jungkook's first so he makes a stencil out of it and puts it on the spot Jungkook picked. I look through a mirror at it and I like the place and how it looks, so I give my okay. Alfred starts and five hours later, Jungkook's rose is on my body. He looks happy at the result and as a thank you kisses me long and deep. I take a bathroom break and when I get back, Namjoon's poem will be tattooed next. This doesn't take as long and in no time, Namjoon's poem is on my wrist. He takes my wrist and looks at it in awe, "no one has ever had something permanent on their body that I wrote", I look at him and can't help but ask, "but you must know that there are people who tattoo part of your lyrics on their body?" He looks up at me and smiles a little sheepishly, "oh, I just never thought about that before now." Jungkook made an appointment to get a tattoo himself. He is not sure yet what he will get, but he'll come up with something, he is sure about that. I hug Alfred goodbye and thank him for a wonderful job on the tattoos. I drive us home, both boys deep in thought. Jungkook is probably thinking about what kind of tattoo he wants and where, but I don't have a clue what Namjoon is thinking. When I park the car, Jungkook rushes out and runs to the house to tell the others, Namjoon gets out slowly, still deep in thought, "penny for your thoughts", I ask him and his head snaps to me and he smiles, "oh....uhm, I was thinking about some of Jungkook's words, and I agree with most. But I think he indirectly told you he loves you, or did I read too much into it?" It's what I was thinking too when I read the words, "I do think you're right, but as long as he doesn't tell me himself I'm not going to ask about it." I take his hand and lead him up to the house, "I understand, but it makes me feel like my poem isn't good enough", I stop and turn to him, I cup his face and look him in the eyes, "It is good enough, I love it, it's made by you, so stop thinking like that. Out of the seven of you I do not have a favorite, I've told you this before." It's not completely true, I do have a favorite, but not in that sense, it's just really hard to explain. He is my soulmate after all, so of course he has a leg up. I'm just not going to tell them that. Maybe someday, who knows, this may lead to nothing after all. He looks relieved and starts to walk to the house, leading me now. The others are waiting for us, wanting to see the result. They all take their turn and after tell me how beautiful they are. Jin and Yoongi prepared dinner and we took a seat at the table. "So all of us get to make a tattoo, and pick where on your body" Taehyung asked. Jimin  and Jin come before him, but he looks the most eager. I nod and tell them to design something and when the time is right I will get the tattoo. Dinner is pleasant and we chat about everything, Jin cracking jokes in between, and the wine and other alcohol flows freely. After dinner we clean and then retire to the living room with the fireplace, Fall is here and the weather is turning chilly, so I light a fire, with us sitting around it, enjoying the heat. The vibe is relaxed and some even look a little drowsy, "Y/n, who of us hasn't fucked you yet?" Yoongi asks out of nowhere, catching me completely off guard. I look at him and he smiles wickedly at me, that little fucker knows it's only one, how I don't know. He has probably asked all of them. I don't care for them to know, "Just one" I say. the others gasp and eye each other over, trying to determine who the sad one is. I laugh at their expressions, they're quite funny, proud, but also suspicious. A funny combination, Of course the boy in question doesn't look like that, no he looks kinda sad, giving himself away. "Just one?", Namjoon asks, and I nod at him. He lets it sink in and opens his mouth to ask me more,  but I cut him off, "if you want to know ask them, I'm not telling. It's what Yoongi did, or he wouldn't ask me this now." Namjoon looks around at them, but no one says anything and the topic dies. I stare at the fire, in a trance, the vibe still relaxed and pleasant. After I get thirsty, I get up to get something and I walk past my Tiger who just got back from a bathroom visit I expect. I smile at him and he winks back. As I pass him he grabs my wrist and pulls me to him. The move was so unexpected I stumbled into his frame. He catches me before my ass meets the floor and he lifts me up. His hands on my waist and he pushes me back against the wall, trapping me, he kisses me aggressively, his tongue pulling the breath from my lungs, I clutch him to me and his lips leave a burning trail to my ear, "how about a little show?", I don't understand what he means exactly, but his meaning becomes clear when he pulls me off the wall and places me in front of him, his chest to my back, arms around my waist, searching for the hem of my shirt. When he has found it he lifts it in one move, leaving me half naked in front of the others. I'm not embarrassed, I'm happy with my body. His hands caress my belly and they slowly move up until he can curl them around my breasts, nipples hard with the arousal he created. He kneads and I moan long, leaning my head back into him and closing my eyes, to better focus on the feelings he creates. When he touches my nipples for the first time I jump in his arms, "relax and enjoy, and let loose", he growls in my ear. One of his hands slides down right into my pants, "are you wet already", he asked and I am. He will find out soon. He growls and yanks his hand out and unbutton my pants before shoving them roughly down my legs. I step out of them and he places his hands back where they were. My panties are soaked and when he feels them he groans, "yes you are, so wet already for us", I know he used 'us' on purpose, so I don't forget where I am. I moan again and he moves my panties to the side and moves his finger through my folds, spreading my cum, making it slick. He pushed a finger into my pussy, getting eaten greedily by me, his thumb drawing circles over my clit, while his finger pumps in and out. A second finger joins the first and he stretches my walls more. The pleasure building, lightning a fire that can only be extinguished by an orgasm given by him. My hips rock to meet his thrusts and his fingers go a little deeper, and when he curls them he hits that spot and the orgasm peaks and floods my system, turning me into a moaning mess, squirming and shaking in his arms, "show us how beautiful you are when you cum", he groans, pushing his hard cock into my ass. When I come down again, I see six pairs of eyes glued to my body, hands on their bulge, either on top or inside their pants. He walks me forward, towards the empty couch, the one I vacated to get a drink. He turns us around and sits down, making me sit in his lap, he hooks my knees over his legs and spreads them, opening me for them to see all of me. The feeling it gives me is erotic, all eyeing me hungrily, licking their lips. One of them jumps up and kneels between our legs, looking me in the eyes, his dark, piercing my soul, mine needy for him. His eye never leave mine when he lowers his head and licks the flowing juices with his tongue, "so fucking sweet", he purrs, his lips pressed to my clit, and the vibrations shoot tingles up my spine. His hands are placed on the top of my thighs holding me open, he licks enthusiastically. The two other hands knead my breasts again and the double stimulation has me moaning uncontrollably. Air is difficult to get into my lungs,  and when one hand is placed on my throat and applies pressure, I tremble with the second orgasm. "Oh, fuck. I need….just…...I need you inside....", I stutter through my orgasm, barely able to get the words out. He ignores me and lazily cleans me with his tongue. When he sits up, I reach for him and pull him in for a kiss, tasting myself on his lips. His cock brushes my pussy and I squirm and wiggle till he slides barely in. When did he lose his pants flits through my mind, but the thought disappears when he slides in further, filling me up deliciously. I pull him more to me, as far as he can go and when he is in all the way I sigh. I'm still on my Tigers lap, another between my legs slowly pumping his cock into me. My ass grinds on the bulge I feel underneath me and he breathes heavily in my ear, his breath fanning the side of my face. "Fuck, you're so sexy when you're fucked, Vixen", he moans into my ear, but the others hear as well, and I hear someone chuckle. Oh yeah there are five watching, I forgot. The renewed knowledge of being watched turns me on more, moaning at the thought of them being aroused because of watching us. My legs are hooked in his elbows and he pulls me down a little, so my ass hangs in the air and he starts to roll his hips, hitting that spot, "fuck always so tight. You like me fucking you in front of them, don't you?", he demands. But I'm too lost to really respond, the pleasure spiking and turning blinding, and when I'm thinking I'm blind forever, the orgasm breaks over me, I arch my back and pant loudly. He stops, like he always does and circles my clit with his finger, helping me down. My walls squeeze him, and he moans, "so fucking beautiful, I need to see it again" he purrs. Again? Wait? What? I'm spent. There is nothing left to give, but he has begun to move, still rolling his hips, hitting that spot, and I'm on the edge again already. What the fuck just happened? His control over my body is unreal. Playing it like an instrument,  my moans are like the music. His moans add an extra dimension and the music we create puts the others under its spell. I'm curious to see how the others see me, so I open my eyes and look around at them. All have their hand in their pants, wanking. I turn my head and my lips are taken in an all consuming kiss, his tongue sliding in and out. His hand still at my throat, and the little air I get makes me dizzy, when he sucks my tongue into his mouth, I moan and squeeze the muscles in my pussy, and that makes Sexy moan, like a chain reaction. I look forward again and our eyes lock, and what I see almost makes me cry. His look is lovingly, I doubt he knows he is looking like that at me. Suddenly I'm lifted and he sits down on the floor, making me straddle him, "ride me", he growls, his voice husky and raspy. My feet are planted on the floor so lifting myself up is easy and I started to bounce up and down on his cock. He moans, "ride that cock", he breathes, and buries his lips against my skin, just between my collarbones. I'm so tired,  I don't think I can come on my own. "I-I'm c-close....help me over the e-edge" I gasp out. He grabs my ass and pulls me hard down,  just hitting that spot,  I first freeze up, grabbing his hair harshly. And then the shaking of the release flows through my body, gasping for air, driving my nails into his skin. He groans at the feeling, but holds me still, so he doesn't come himself. ‘No, no please come, I can't anymore’. I don't say it, craving more still. He waits stroking the hair out of my face, and kissing me softly all over my face. "I know you got one more in you. You ready?", he whispers for my ears only. I nod, but still climb off him, "lets move to the couch", I say trailing my fingers down his chest to his erection, twitching at my touch. I grab him more firmly and pump him up and down, I lay myself down, and take him into my mouth, he moans long and deep, and his hands grab my head immediately, controlling me. When he is all the way down my throat I keep my head there, he tries to pull me back, but I swallow and his hands fall away. "Oh fuck....", he breathes, moaning again. "Don't." I swallow again and again, if I can make him lose it like this, I can sleep. He moans and moans, and tries to pull me away again but I take his hands off me. Then he is gone, and I gasp for air, trying to understand what happened. Oh, apparently he scooted back to get away from me. I giggle seeing him like that, all sweaty, breathing heavy. His chest heaving, holding his cock, to stop the orgasm. When he can breathe a little normally again, a devilish grin spreads over his face, eyes twinkling with mischief. "Naughty little minx, trying to finish quickly. A punishment is in order" he purrs. I shrug my shoulders, this break from pleasure has calmed my body down a little. And the punishment sounds exciting, I wonder what it will be. He gets up and takes a seat on the now empty couch. He pats his lap, and when I want to sit down he shakes his head. He makes me lay down over his knees, my ass on full display. Now I know what he wants, "Now, you can't make any noise, you got that?" he demands. I nod and he gets closer and whispers , so it's just me hearing him. "And if you do, I fuck you hard and get two more orgasms. You won't be able to walk properly after I'm done", he growls, sounding sexy as fuck and I feel my juices dripping already. But two Orgasms will be the death of me, so I better don't make any sound. His hand caresses my ass, the slap suddenly stinging, sounding loud in the otherwise silent room. He strokes the burn softly, before slapping again. I bite my lips and breath heavy through my nose. With every slap, the walls of my pussy squeeze emptiness, driving the need to be filled up. At the next slap I almost make a sound, but I can hold it in. My ass must be so red now, the intensity of the slap increasing with each new slap, just a little harder than the one before. I can keep still, with the next three slaps, but the seventh is my undoing, ripping a guttural moan from my lungs. I'm not sorry it happened, my ass burning. He stops, and I try to catch my breath. Without a word he makes me get up, he then lays on his side, and I lie before him. His favorite, I should have known. My top leg gets hooked in his arm, hand between my breasts and he smoothly slides right in and doesn't wait for me, pounding like his life depended on it. The hand not between my breasts snakes around my neck to my throat and he grabs it roughly. He somehow is more possessive tonight. Is it being watched? Or something else. He moans when I squeeze him, "Do it again", he moans in my ear, licking the lobe before nibbling it. His mouth finds that spot behind my ear and sucks, bites and licks, leaving a hickey, "You're mine. Don't ever forget that", he softly whispers, I barely catch it, but I do, and hearing the words the next orgasm burns my blood with pleasure, every limb tingling, toes curling. Of course, he stopped again, riding it out with me, throbbing inside me. His fingers find my clit and lazily stroke, hitching my breath, snapping his hips into me again. His fingers move faster as he speeds up the pumping of his hips. "just one more, come for me again, soak my cock, now" he moans. Unbelievable, I reach another climax, on his cock, just as he commanded, and this time he doesn't stop and chases his own. Pumping as fast as he can, he freezes and I feel his cock throbbing and twitching when he fills me up. We both stop moving, and his arms tighten around me, holding me to him, and I feel his heartbeat on my back, and it's going like crazy, just as mine. An unbelievable heaviness settles over my body, making every limb feel like lead. We lay there for minutes, I completely forgot the others watching. I'm even too tired to open my eyes to see. when I feel him pulling his arms off me to get up, I grab them and hold them to me, I'm so tired, I don't really know what I'm doing, my body just reacts of its own accord. "No, don't leave. Stay for once", I think I whisper, but I'm not, so everyone hears it clearly, his body becomes stiff at my back and I think his head snapped up. I didn't see of course, but it felt like it. It stays silent and I drift off to the place between sleep and being awake. 

One of the members POV

Shit, shit, shit, the questions the others will have are going to be brutal. Did she say it on purpose, or not?, I don't know, maybe she's too out of it, I didn't hold back tonight, maybe I took it too far. Oh god what did I do? Is she asleep, I shake her slightly, and she doesn't respond. So she is asleep. I sat upright and put her head in my lap, and I stroked her hair. The others look at me, betrayal clear in their eyes, "Spill, the way she said it made it sound like you've been fucking her longer than us", Jin demands, looking at me, anger all over his face. I keep silent, not knowing how to begin to explain. The anger grows, the longer I stay silent, and when I hear my roommate sigh, I look up. "Fine, I'll tell you, since he is incapable of telling you", my roommate shoots me the death glare before continuing. "In the first week of staying here, I caught him coming down from her room, and I made him bring me with him the next time. We then had sex with her for three weeks before he", and he points at the third member who's in on the secret. Who turns red and hangs his head, "he then joined, so yeah we three have fucked her a lot. But like she said, we never stayed." His explanation is met with silence, all of their mouths hanging open in disbelief. I get off the couch and sit on my knees in front of them, bowing my head, "Please forgive me for deceiving you, I don't have an explanation, I barely understand myself. Her pull on me is so strong, I just can't help myself." I get up, not looking at anybody, and scoop her in my arms, like a bride. Oh god thoughts stop. I bring her to her bed and lay her down on it, crawling after her. Tonight I'll stay, happily. Waking up with her in my arms. I gather her against my chest and stroking her back I drift off to dreamland.

Third POV

Down in the living room, the other two culprits, get up as well and leave for bed. The other four boys stay. They stay silent for a few minutes, making sure they're alone. "What are you mad about exactly", the dirty-blonde haired boy asked the light-brown haired boy. "I'm mad that he felt the need to keep it a secret", the auburn haired boy said. He shakes his head and if steam were to erupt out of him, every orifice in his face would. "Yeah, that's it exactly", the other three agree. They're angry for the secrecy, and that hurts more than the actual fucking. The boys talk some more, and decide to give the other three some time to themselves. Keeping them away from her as much as possible as a punishment. With that decided the boys get up, extinguish the fire and go up to sleep too.

Meanwhile on the other side of the world, A is ecstatic, having found the boys, the plan can move forward again. Just a couple of weeks more and the annoying factor of that bitch will be gone, and they can make the boys fall for them. C having found some interesting gadgets on the dark-net. Those could be really handy. A can hardly wait, Just two more weeks and they'll be flying to where they are, to scope the place out, and help that guy getting that bitch. Thinking about her, has A fuming. The other girls are just as vexed over her, so she needs to go. From what he told C, she is all over them, him having spied on them, he even sent some pictures, and she looks like a slut, or maybe a whore. A can't pick one, but she is ugly. When Jin finally sees her, he'll forget about the bitch right away. I'm way more prettier than her anyway, and a gorgeous specimen like Jin needs a gorgeous specimen on his arm. A believes she is the one for him, he is my soulmate. A texts C asking if she is ready for the next phase of the plan. After 5 minutes, C responds, and A gives the go ahead.

The day of Exo’s comeback finally arrived and with it Chanyeol’s birthday too. You were on your job and luckily for you this was the last day in which you had to hand in your most important project. You were at your desk, taking few a minutes to relax after all the stress and anxiousness you were feeling not too long ago at the meeting. You checked Chanyeol’s conversation and noticed that he hasn’t seen the birthday message you had sent him at midnight.

He must be busy you thought.

With all the work and meetings you had throughout the day you hadn’t seen the boys MV which it was a bummer considering you could see all your social media exploding because of it but you had to “keep it together” at the office. You felt exhausted from these past few days and there was still two days left from the week. I don’t know how would I manage to live until Friday. You thought and rested your head in your hands. Suddenly you remembered that the party for celebrating Chanyeol’s birthday and also the guys album was that day and cursed. You weren’t not feeling in the mood for partying. The only thing you wanted to do was to fall into a coma and sleep for three days straight but you knew you couldn’t missed it giving that they really counted on you for you to be there celebrating their success. You decided that the rest of the week you wouldn’t attend to any of your classes after work and only head home to rest.

“I just beg the days come by quickly” you sighed and got back to work.

 It was already 03:00 am of the following day. The boys just arrived to the dorms after working basically the entire day and having dinner after it due to Chanyeol’s birthday. Everyone went straight to their rooms to call it a day. Chanyeol was getting ready for bed when he remembered he hadn’t seen nor reply the messages in his phone- The day had been hectic with all the variety shows they had to attend and the recordings for the live show of the day.-  Although his phone was buzzing all day with calls and message notifications he only took a little bit of time on his break to reply some of them. He laid on his bed with his phone in hand and started scrolling throught the thousands of messages that were waiting on his inbox. He came upon your message and read it it.

Happy birthday Yeol!!!!! I hope you will have a beautiful day with all your loved ones. Continue to be that cheerful, hardworking, kind, dorky, amazing being. <3 I feel truly thankful for having you in my life and know that I will always have your back. P.S I really hope you will have nice wine at the party because I’m in need of one glass ASAP.

Chanyeol chuckled at the last comment and also at the meme you had posted below the text that had a Baby Yoda with a birthday hat.

Maybe your words were not out of the ordinary but they warmed his heart. Also, he didn’t expect for them to be so since he knew your writing was more on the side of creating stories and not pouring your feelings out through words.  He tried to come up with his reply as he felt that a simple thank you wouldn’t be enough but found it it hard to do so as he was having trouble with finding the right words to say. He decided to leave it last to continue reading and answering the rest of the messages.

Man, this is gonna take a while... he thought as he released a sigh and started typing.

 The alarm set off for you to go to work. You woke up, took a shower and got dressed up. You were having breakfast and checking your social media when you noticed Chanyeol’s message. You opened it and read it:

Thanks so much y/n :) I also feel thankful for having you in my life and for you being my best friend. With you I have learned many things and know that although I can be selfish and act like an asshole sometimes, I will always care about you no matter what I say even if I’m drunk, or angry or fighting with you. Ps. I look pretty cute with that hat. - referring to the Yoda meme- and Yes! There’s gonna be good wine and I’ll be waiting for you with glass in hand ;).

You chuckled at the last part of the message but some of his previous words were the ones that stuck in your mind “I will always care about you”. You knew he was sincere about it but that also made you think about the future.  There will come a day in which he would have more important people in his life. A wife or another girlfriend that treats him better that Sojin, children perhaps and that thoughts only had made you fearful, sad and anxious about it.  If you couldn’t dare to tell him what you feel for him, maybe you should stop being friends as you couldn't fathom the idea of ​​seeing him build a life with another woman while you would only be by his side pretending to be fine when you knew that neither your mind nor your heart could bear it. Being apart from him would be the only solution which you could think of and that wasn’t a good option either. You shook your head, trying to dissipate those thoughts away. I don’t have time for that right now you thought as you looked at the clock and saw you were already 10 minutes late. You rushed to leave everything as good as possible at your home and headed to work.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finally Friday had arrived. The Exo members were checking the last stuff for their party- The place was a well-known bar that was located in one of the most famous and modern skyscrapers of Seoul. It had a big terrace and a wonderful view of the city’s night life. The music was blasting with a DJ at the inside of the bar. You could see some waiters walking around carrying boxes full with booze and others helping the bartender setting up the bar.- Chanyeol was looking at his phone with a big frown on his face when Baekhyun approached him and padded his back.

“I can wait for the party to start” The now white haired boy said excitedly and Chanyeol turned to look at him, frowning still.

“What’s the matter Yeol?” Baekhyun asked, his smile fading slowly at seeing his friend’s face.

“I’ve just got a text from Sojin. She’s coming over” Chanyeol sighed.

“You’re joking right?” Baekhyun huffed and Chanyeol gave him a serious look.

“Look” The tall boy said and showed his phone to Baekhyun so he could read the message. After reading it Baekhyun let out a groan “Come on man! Why did you invite her?” He whined.

“I swear I didn’t. She heard about the party at the Studio” Chanyeol explained. Baekhyun gave a frustrated sigh.

“Can’t we just prohibited her entrance?” Baekhyun suggested and Chanyeol gave him a pointed look.

“Even if we do that She will call for me” Chanyeol said matter of factly.

“She’s problematic” Baekhyun pointed out and Chanyeol averted his eyes at the floor, he was starting to feel stressed about it.

“I don’t know what to do to fix it” Chanyeol confessed.  Baekhyun was beginning to feel stressed too, he knew Sojin there would meant trouble of some kind, specially if she came across you. She would be on Chanyeol’s back the entire night just so everyone could see he was taken.

“Ok, we just have to keep her distracted and sober... and away from y/n the rest of the night” Baekhyun said thoughtfully. Chanyeol doubted they could do the tree things altogether but kept quiet and let his friend kept talking.

“Yeah but I don’t want to be stuck with her the entire night” Chanyeol said, concern readable on his face.

“You won’t be. I’ll help you and we will have to tell the rest of the boys about this unexpected guest” Baekhyun said.

“Thank you man. I really need help with her” Chanyeol said relieved.

“Ok course. That’s what bros are for... to keep you away from crazy girlfriends” Baekhyun said proudly.

“Hey, do you know anything about y/n?” Chanyeol asked trying to sound calmed. He haven’t mentioned anything about he being in love with you to any of the boys. Nor even Baekhyun. The least he wanted right now was hearing his friends teasing and jokes about his unrequited love and comparing him with Jackson.

“Only that she’ll be here after work and that she’s coming with Jackson” Baekhyun explained “why?”.

“It’s nothing, actually. It’s just that I sent her a message an hour ago to see if she was already on her way but she didn’t answer” Chanyeol answered.

“Maybe she didn’t listen the notification.” Baekhyun said nonchalantly. “She’s fine. Plus, she is coming with her boyfriend”.

“Yeah” Chanyeol couldn’t help but rolled his eyes at the mention of Jackson.

“Why you hated him?” Baekhyun asked amused.

“What?! I don’t hate him” Chanyeol said trying to feign incredulously and Baekhyun gave him a quizzical look. “Ahg... I think he’s trying too hard. You know like hanging out with us and giving us presents just so y/n can see him as the finest gentleman she had ever came across with”.

Baekhyun sneered at that. “Isn’t it normal that he is trying so hard?. Come on Yeol! We are both men. We know that men only try that hard when they are really interested in the other person. If that’s the case, you more than any of us, should feel happy that she is with a good boy”.

“Or maybe he is just pretending to be interested and the only thing he wants is to jump into her pants. You know there’s that chance too”. Chanyeol retorted.

“I hardly doubt that. I know him and he is just not that kind of guy” Baekhyun said calmed.

“You don’t know him too well. Neither do I and let me tell you that only over my dead body he will lay a hand on her” Chanyeol countered back.

“You know she’s probably not virgin right?” Baekhyun pointed out, giving him an amused look. At the thought of that Chanyeol couldn’t stop feel angry. He knew you have been in relationships before, so have he. But now just the thought of you getting touched by other men irked him like never before.

“Yeah well whether she is or not I’m gonna make sure he doesn’t find out” Chanyeol said determined. Baekhyun rolled his eyes at his friend. Everybody close to Chanyeol knew the boy went overboard sometimes with the things that matter to him, specially regarding his friends and family. The people who spend a lot of time with him, like you or the guys, have learned to live with the ups and downsides of it.

“How could Yoora was able to marry, with you being his brother?” The white haired boy asked although he didn’t expect an answer.

“Believe it or not my dad was tougher than me” Chanyeol explained and Baekhyun shook his head.

“Baekhyun” Junmyeon said while approaching the two men.

“Jongdae is looking for you. He said there is something wrong with the bottles you ordered” The redhead said.

“What?! This can’t be happening right now.” Baekhyun said storming out to find the other boy. Chanyeol and Junmyeon looked how his friend walked away and the last one turned to look at the tall man.

“Is there something wrong?. You looked worried.” Junmyeon asked him.

“Sojin is coming to the party. Baekhyun suggested to basically babysit her the entire night but honestly I feel so tired to do that on my own and he said I’d asked you guys for help” Chanyeol said and his leader released a heavy sigh.

“I’ll help you when she arrives” Suho said resigned. “Now come on. I need some help with checking the waiters who are preparing the snacks trays”.

“Thank you” Chanyeol said sincerely and both men headed towards the kitchen.

 It was 09:00pm and you and Jackson were arriving at the party. You were not feeling as tired as you had imagined which giving the tough week you had had was like a miracle. You were wearing a knitted brown sweater with black jeans and flat boots. Your wavy hair in a long ponytail and natural makeup. Your “boyfriend” on the other side, was wearing a dark red jacket with brown jeans and sneakers. When the two of you arrived at the floor where the party has been held you noticed a lot of people was already there waiting in line to pass. 

“Now this is a real party” Jackson said while looking at his surroundings.

“Don’t you guys do the same at your company?” You asked intrigued.

“Not even close.” Jackson stated. “We do have parties but not like this” he said gesturing at the whole place. - it was a massive room beautifully adorned with fancy furniture and sculptures, all of it surrounded by enormous crystal walls. There were huge posters promoting the boys comeback and a few ones of Chanyeol with the “Happy Birthday” sign And his birthdate written on them. You could see a DJ on one side of the room and a beer pong table with people around it at the other side.- The place was crowded but it was big enough for you to not feel suffocated. Luckily the people at the row were passing quickly and after 20 minutes you and Jackson were inside. You took Jackson’s hand and started walking around the bar.

“Y/n” someone called you and you turned to looked at them. It was Jongdae. He spotted you from across the room and headed towards you.

“Hi Dae! Good to see you” you said excitedly and hugged him. “Congratulations on your guys comeback and also for hosting this party. Clearly you wanted it to do it memorable”.

“Thank you” Jongdae said and turned to look at Jackson.

“Hi man! How are you?” Jongdae greeted him and give him a pad on his back.

“I’m good thanks man. What about you?” Jackson said cheerfully.

“Same. I’m glad you two came” Jongdae said.

“We couldn’t miss it, right Jack?” You said.

“Yeah.” Jackson said.

“Hey Dae! Have you seen Chanyeol? I want to give him his birthday present” you asked your friend.

“I saw him at the terrace a couple of minutes ago. He was chatting with someone guys” Jongdae explained.

“Oh! Well I’m going to go and try to find him. Are you gonna be alright?” You asked Jackson.

“Sure! I’ll be around here” he said nonchalantly.

“You should come with me. Last time you didn’t finish telling me and Junmyeon about some thing we’re curious about your album” Chen said and put one of his arms around the other boy’s shoulders.

You saw the two boys walking away and you turned to walked towards the terrace. Outside it was cold, the night air hitting you in the face and making you want to come back inside. There were tables with little bonfires above them and couches next to them. Some people outside were chatting, others smoking and having drinks at the tables. At one corner you could spotted Chanyeol. He was wearing a large sand-brown coat and jeans.

He looks so handsome you though.

You went straight to him and touched his arm gently.

 Chanyeol was chatting with some on his friends when he sensed a light touch on his arm and heard you greeting him.

“Hi Chan!” You said cheerfully.

He turned slightly to look at you and smiled. “Hey!” He said. The other people around him scattered leaving only the two of you.

“How are you?” You asked him.

“I’m good although this whole thing it’s crazy. There are more people than the ones we had invited” He said looking around at all the people outside.

“You know it always ends up like that when you throw a party” You chuckled. “Oh, before I forget this. Here! Happy birthday.” You said and pull out of your bag a little blue box with a silver ribbon around it. Chanyeol looked at you surprised and took the box.

“Well it’s just a half of the entire present. The other half is at your room” you explained.

“You sneaked into my room?!.... but how?” Chanyeol said baffled.

You smile amusingly at him “It wasn’t me. It was Myeon the one that put it in there.”

He look at the box again and took off the ribbon, he opened it and inside of it there was a silver guitar pick. On one side it had carved one of his many nicknames “Yeol” and at the other it had the silhouette of a puppy that look like Toben. He look at it and smiled. You knew he liked everything that had a personal touch of him and for what you remembered he didn’t have a guitar pick with his name, nickname nor his dog on it.

“So I can asumme the other half of the present it’s a guitar?” He looked at you quizzically.

“It could be a stripper too. I’ll guess you will find out once you see it” You said nonchalantly and he laughed.

“Wether it’s a girl or a guitar it’s gonna be good so thank you” he smiled widely at you.

You laughed slightly “You’re welcome” you said and engulfed him in a hug.

Chanyeol closed his eyes for a moment and rested his head upon yours, it was a habit of his every time you two hugged since he was taller than you. That way he could sniffled the essence of your hair and your perfume he had come to love so much. He had a big smile drawn on his face, he know that, and maybe everyone around would look at you two and see him as an idiot because of that but he didn’t care. He needed his safe place even if it was for a couple of minutes after the exhausting week he just had had.

“Am I interrupting?” Someone said in an annoyed tone. Just with that he came back to reality. Chanyeol recognized that voice, it was Sojin’s. He opened his eyes abruptly and saw the other girl standing in front of you with an irritated look on her face. When you heard her too you quickly broke the embrace. You felt uncomfortable at the daggers Sojin was throwing at you through her eyes and averted your gaze.

“Sojin” was the only thing Chanyeol said. He looked clearly embarrassed and uncomfortable as well as you.

“Hey Sojin” you said although you couldn’t sound so happy when you greeted her.

“Would you care to explain what was happening here?” She asked.

“I was just congratulating him for his birthday” you explained.

“Oh! Well in that case I believe it’s my turn to congratulate my boyfriend. Excuse me” she tossed you aside and stood between you and Chanyeol. She grabbed the tall boy’s face a little bit harshly and kissed him.

You let out a huffed and rolled your eyes. By the looks of it it seemed that Chanyeol was taken aback for her sudden move and it seemed like he was trying to break the kiss. Your anger at Sojin’s childish behavior and Chanyeol’s passive attitude was starting to build up.

I don’t need to watch this you though and walked away from them.

For Chanyeol everything happened so quickly he didn’t know how to react. He saw how Sojin had pushed you aside but he didn’t have time to said something when he felt Sojin’s hands on his cheeks and her mouth over his a moment after. He tried to move his face away from hers but at the same time he didn’t want it to do it aggressively so when he finally could got away from her hold, you we’re already gone. He looked from side to side in case you were still near but he didn’t see you. Then he looked at Sojin and grabbed his hair in frustration.

I can’t keep up with this he thought.

You went inside in search for the rest of the boys or Jackson. You didn’t want to ruin your night with seeing Chanyeol stuck to Sojin.  You spotted Jongin and Sehun at the bar. You approached them and greeted both boys.

“Hey guys!” You said to them.

“Y/n you came!” Jongin said cheerfully and Sehun waved at you while having a zip of his beer.

“Of course. Baekhyun told me the bar would be open for me.” You joked and both guys laughed.

“Well technically we are in charge of checking the booze request but we could have a deal if you bring us your homemade lasagna next time you go to the dorms” Sehun tried to bargain.

“A smooth move Oh Sehun” you said and extended your hand at him to sealed the bargain “Ok deal. Now, can you order a glass of wine for me?”. Sehun took your hand smiling mischievously at you and called for one of the bartenders for him to take your order. “Did you just arrived?” Jongin asked you.

“No, I arrived almost an hour ago but there was a lot of people outside trying to get in and then Jackson and I came across with Dae and he took him away. I don’t where they are now” you explained and Sehun gave you your drink. You started to drink it as if it was water. The wine was burning your throat slightly but it had a nice flavor.

“You should drink slowly. At least enjoy the flavor of it” Jongin suggested.

“I did that. That’s why I want another one” you said and gestured the bartender to gave you another glass.

Jongin and Sehun exchanged a quizzical look for a moment and you asked them “So where are the rest of the guys? Myeon and Baekhyun.” You clarified.

“Junmyeon was supposed to be at the entrance telling the guards nobody can enter from now on and Baekhyun was looking for Chanyeol a couple of minutes ago. Have you seen him?” Sehun asked you.

“Yeah” You said and turned to said thank you to the bartender for your drink.

“He was outside... with Sojin” you said annoyed.

“Oh” both boys said at unison, not sounding very happy at the mention of her name.

“So everyone has the same feeling towards her, huh?” You asked rhetorically drinking your glass in one go. “You could say that” Jongin answered hesitantly. “I think the only one who’s trying to not dislike her is Junmyeon”

“Yeah because the man is an Angel” you said and both boys chuckled.

“I think it’s more because he knows it has been difficult for Chanyeol seeing she don’t match in our group like you or Jackson”. Sehun thought out loud and Jongin nodded in agreement. “Yes. I mean you are our friend and Jackson is trying to be but he doesn’t make a fool of himself” the blue haired boy said. You nodded in understanding and thought about the first time you have started talking with all of them. Everyone was so friendly with you that you wished you could be friends with all of them and you were so thankful that became true.

After a while of you talking with the boys you were getting slightly worried about Jackson. He came with you after all and you had just left him with Jongdae. You thought he had to be fine as Dae wasn’t much of a drinker either but the part that made you worried was that you haven’t seen him around since you went to look for Chanyeol.

“Guys” You said louder so Sehun and Jongin could hear you above the music. Both men turned to look at you.

“I’m gonna go to find Jackson” you announced.

“Do you want us to help you looking?” Sehun asked you.

“It’s ok, I’ll do it alone. If I can’t find him then I’ll come back for you. Thank you.” You said and the boys nodded.

“See you” Sehun said as you turned around and walked away.

You were walking between bodies dancing and drinking. You were beginning to feel suffocated by how close each person was with another and decided to walked around the dance floor.

“Ah y/n” You heard Sojin called you from behind.

Fuck you thought annoyed and turned around to see her.

“Are you looking for Chanyeol?” Sojin asked you.

“No. I’m looking for Jackson” you said nonchalantly.

“Probably he got bored and left.” She said and wave her hand dismissively at you.

“He is not like that” you said and she snorted.

“If you say so...” Sojin said. “Hey now that you are here. How about we play some beer pong?”.

“I’m good thanks. I have to find Jackson” you said an feigned a smile at her.

“Come on. It’s a quick game actually. Or do you think you can’t handle the drinks?” She asked with a smug smile on her face. You thought about saying no again and go to find your friend but you also didn’t want to granted her the pleasure of calling you a quitter. There was something in the challenge of it and the satisfaction of seeing her face contorted in anger that made you agree to her request.

“Fine! Only one game” you said sternly.

“Ok” she said amused and you two walked towards the table. The people around it started cheering at the two of you, their new contenders.

“Do you know the rules of the game or should I explained them for you?” Sojin said arrogantly.

“I already know them. Let’s get this over with” you said. You were so done with her attitude that now more than ever you wanted to win.

“Very well then. You shot first” She said and one person of the crowd handed you the little ball. You focus you gaze at one cup in Sojin’s side, inhale slightly and exhaled when you threw the ball.  You could see the ball going inside the cup and splashing a little bit of the drink on the table. People yelled excitedly and you smiled at your small feat. Sojin grabbed the cup and drank it without problem.

Ok maybe I can win this You encouraged yourself inside your mind.

Let’s kick this bitch’s ass

The game was going smoothly. You on the other hand were starting to feel dizzy and a little burn inside your stomach. You tried to suppressed any sign that would indicated Sojin or any other at the table your state so you keep playing. It was almost the end of the game and you were winning 19-18 until Sojin scored another point and you had to drink the cup. It was the last shot for each of you. If you scored you would be the winner.  You took the ball and looked around. Everybody was looking expectantly and Sojin was giving you a wicked smile as she noticed you were starting to look drunk.  You had good aim but she had a better alcohol tolerance. You breathe deeply once again focusing only on the last cup at one side of the table and shot the ball. Thankfully the ball reached its target and went inside the cup. The crowd cheered and you could heard some people groaning at losing their bets and you smiled at Sojin who looked annoyed at your winning. You pushed passed the people surrounding the table and walked in search of a bathroom. 

Once in there you leaned over the sink and splashed water on your face. You turned to look at yourself at the mirror and didn’t recognize the person in front of it. You had your cheeks bright red as if you had a fever. Your lips dry as you were feeling thristy. You felt your legs weak and the dizziness was increasing inside of you.

I need to sit you thought and went outside.

Near the restrooms were a couple of stairs that leaded to the kitchen. You took a seat on them and leaned over the wall.

 After you went looking for Jackson he came over with Jongdae and Junmyeon to where Sehun and Jongin were sitting. He asked about you and the boys had told him you were looking for him too. He suggested calling you but the boys showed him you had left your purse with them and inside of it was your phone. The other boys offered to look for you too and everyone scattered around. They had agreed to call the others if anyone found you.

 Baekhyun was walking around the bar searching for Sojin. It was his turn to keep an eye on her since Chanyeol and Junmyeon had been stuck with her since she arrived. He was doing a great job he thought, trying to have a conversation with her even though she was moody because she had seen you and Chanyeol hugging and it looked like her boyfriend was having the time of his live by doing it.  Her words not his. She was complaining about it when a couple of Baekhyun’s friends came over to him and greeted him. He talked with them for what he thought were like 3 seconds and when he turned around to introduced Sojin, the girl was already gone.

Shit he muttered and excused himself to went after her.

In times like this when he would have to look for someone he hated the fact that a lot of people had came to the party. He couldn’t find her anywhere and felt stressed about it. He stopped at one side of the restrooms and decided to wait there for a couple of minutes in case she was inside the ladies room. He groaned in frustration.

I take back what I said earlier about not hating her... I totally do now he thought. 

He scanned the place and saw you sitting at the stairs. Oh my god, that’s y/n. He thought alarmed when he saw you leaning over the wall with your eyes closed. He walked rapidly towards you and shook your arm.

“Y/n are you ok?” You heard Baekhyun said and felt your arms being shaken. You opened your eyes and smiled at him.

“Baek, you’re here” you slurred.

“Are you drunk?” He said surprised and you nodded.

“But you don’t drink that much. What happened?” He said surprised.

“Beer pong. Sojin challenged me” you said between breaths.

“My god! ” He said. “But you didn’t drink beer, right?. There’s no way you could get drunk that fast by only drinking beer”.

“Beer, tequila, vodka...” you counted. “And more”. Baekhyun sighed heavily. He definitely hated Sojin now.

“We need to get you a bottle of water and take you home. Can you stand up?” The white haired boy asked you.

“Yeah...” You said hesitantly and loosed your balanced. You would have crashed against the wall if Baekhyun hadn’t grabbed you.

“Ok no” Baekhyun said as he struggled to keep you balanced. He put one of your arms over his shoulders and leaned your weight on him.

“Let’s go to the bar for some water” he said and you two started walking.

“Jackson” You said and Baekhyun side eyed you.

“What?! I didn’t hear you well” he said.

“Where is Jackson?” You asked.

“That’s something I would like to know too” he said between breaths.

 You two arrived at the bar. Baekhyun placed you in a stool and asked the bartender for a glass of water.

“Baekhyun!” Jackson yelled as he was approaching. You could tell his face was growing with concern as his vision became clearer and he saw you weren’t all right.

“Hey!” Baekhyun said.

“Y/n!. What’s wrong with you?” He said as he cupped your face.

“She’s drunk. Sojin challenged her to a beer pong game” Baekhyun explained.

“But she doesn’t drink. At least not like that” Jackson said turning his gaze from you to the other boy.

“I know. That’s why she’s like this” Baekhyun gestured towards you.

“We need to give her food and water to reduce the symptoms.” Jackson said.

“I’ve already ordered a glass of water and there’s no food left. It ran out” Baekhyun explained. Jackson felt his phone vibrated in his pocket. He took it out and saw Jongdae was calling him.

“Shit! I forgot to call the other guys. We had agreed that whoever find her first, he would have to call the other guys that were looking for her too” he explained. Baekhyun nodded and went to take the glass of water from the bartender and gave it to you. “Dae, I found y/n. Me and Baekhyun are with her at the bar right now. She’s drunk but overall she’s fine. Yeah, we are not moving from here. Please tell the others about it. Bye.” Jackson said and hung up. He turned to look at you and shook his head in disapproval “what were you thinking?”.

“That I wanted to beat her ass” you said and Baekhyun snorted.

“And did you?” The white haired boy asked you.

“Yes” You said with a smug smile on your face.

Jackson chuckled and Baekhyun praised you “That’s my girl”.

Chanyeol was inside the bar as the night air was colder than it was a couple of hours ago. After getting over the jealousy scene Sojin had made at seen you and him hugged he texted Baekhyun saying he needed help ASAP. His shorter friend came 5 minutes after that and the tall man made up an excuse for getting away from Sojin at least for a couple of hours. He wanted to go after you and apologized for the girl’s behavior but some friends and acquaintances intercepted him during his quest and just now he was able to continue with it.

 Chanyeol was walking around when he spotted Jongdae’s head between the sea of people. He called his name and the other boy looked at him surprised. Jongdae got out of the dance floor and went straight to him.

“Hey man! I’m looking for y/n. Have you seen her?” The white haired boy asked.

“I’ve just talked with Jackson through the phone. Y/n is drunk. Jackson is with her at the bar” The shorter boy explained.

“What?!... How did that happen?. Did he make her drunk?” Chanyeol said baffled. Anger building up inside of him as he imagined Jackson was the one responsible for your state.

“No. It was your girlfriend” His friend stated.

“Sojin? How could she do that?” Chanyeol asked intrigued.

“Apparently she challenged her to a beer pong game” Jongdae answered while they were heading to the bar.

Chanyeol pinched the bridge of his nose trying to contain his anger. He couldn’t believe all the troubles this girl has caused.

They were the first ones  to arrived at the bar. They saw Jackson and Baekhyun surrounding you and went closer.

“How is she?” Jongdae asked.

“She’s still dizzy but at least she hadn’t vomit” Baekhyun said, his eyes catching the other ones.

“Y/n are you feeling better?” Chanyeol asked taking a step forward so he could grabbed your hand.

“Channie you have come” You said cheerfully and touched his cheek.

“Apparently she is the happy drunk kind of girl” Baekhyun said amused.

“We need to take her home.” Jongdae said.

“Yeah! I think so too” Baekhyun agreed to what his friend’s just said.

“I’ll take her.” Jackson and Chanyeol said at unison. Both men turned to look at each other. Jackson with a serious face and Chanyeol frowning at him.

“I came along with her. I’m responsible for her tonight” Jackson explained.

“I’m her best friend and I’m always looking after her not just tonight” Chanyeol countered back.

“You have a girlfriend to take care of” Jackson said matter of factly. Chanyeol was feeling his inside burning “And if you had taken care of yours this wouldn’t had happened”.

“Same goes to you” Jackson huffed.

“Ok let’s calmed down guys” Baekhyun said trying to loosen the mood. “How about I take her home?” The shorter boy suggested. “No” Jackson and Chanyeol roar at the same time while they turned to look at him quickly and went back to their hate staring contest.

“I’m tak...” Jackson got cut off by his phone ringing.

“Shit! Hold on” he said and got out of the circle the boys had created around you.

“Like hell he’s taking her” Chanyeol said to the rest of the boys. Everyone could see he was mad now and the boys got worried at that. Chanyeol was the kind of people who could loose his temper easily.

“Calm down man” Jongdae grabbed him by the arm. “We don’t want the two of you to cause a scene here”. Jackson returned with you. The boys could see on his features he was upset.

“Ahg...I’ve got a call from Mark. He said my manager need us urgently. I have to go” he said reluctantly. Baekhyun and Jongdae nodded at him. Chanyeol on the other hand was pointed looking at him with his arms crossed over his chest.

“Don’t worry, we understand. We’ll take care of her” Baekhyun said reassuringly and padded his friend’s back.

“Can you take her home?” Jackson asked directly at Baekhyun, ignoring Chanyeol’s hard gaze. At hearing that, Chanyeol was ready to complain when he felt Jongdae squeezed his arm to hold him back from it.

“Sure. I’ll keep you informed about her” Baekhyun said.

“Thanks man” Jackson said and gave him a pad on the back. He turned to looked at the others and you. His gaze changing from a worried one to a hard one when it lay on Chanyeol.

“See you”. He said and hurried up to the entrance gate.

The rest of the Exo members looked at him walking away and turned to you. “Ok let’s go ” Chanyeol said and hunched to grabbed your arm and put it over his shoulders. 

“Chanyeol” Baekhyun said sternly.

“Come on. Let me take her home” Chanyeol whined.

“What about Sojin?” Jongdae asked.

“I don’t care about her right now” Chanyeol said.

“At least you know her enter code?” Baekhyun asked inquisitively.

Chanyeol kept quiet for a moment thinking about it. -He knew the code until you two last fought. The last time he went to your place he was so caught up with chatting that he didn’t see if it was the same or not and now he wasn’t sure of it.-

“I’m... not sure” The tall boy admitted. Jongdae gave him a pointed look and Baekhyun facepalmed himself.

“Then take her to the dorms.” Jongdae said. “Kyungsoo’s and Minseok’s rooms are empty”. Chanyeol nodded and grabbed you by the waist to steadied you “I’ll see you at home” and started walking.

“Let us know when you get there” Baekhyun yelled and he could heard a “yeah” coming for his friend.

“What a good night” Jongdae said sarcastically.

“Tell me about it” Baekhyun said. Chanyeol was feeling a slight back pain from the hunching as he was walking towards the entrance.

“Channie. I’m not feeling well” You slurred.

“I know. We are going home. Hang in there” he said to your ear so you could heard him through the music. You were almost at the elevator when Chanyeol felt a firm grip on his other arm.

“Chanyeol” it was Sojin looking at him furiously “Where are you going with her?”. His girlfriend spat.

“I’m taking her home. As you can see she’s drunk. Thanks for that by the way”. He said annoyed.

“Please. She had a couple of drinks” she said dismissively.

Chanyeol glared at her, refraining himself from arguing. “We’ll have this discussion later”. He turned to keep going and Sojin stood in front of you.

“If you go with her we are done”. She threatened him.

“Fine.” Chanyeol said bluntly and walked around her.

She huffed and started ranting about it.

 Chanyeol didn’t hear her once you got into the elevator. You started laughing out of nowhere and Chanyeol look at you weirded out.

“Why are you laughing?” He asked you.

“She looked so mad” you said between laughter. Chanyeol snorted. Never in his life he or the other boys have seen you drunk. You’ve always tried to behave yourself and usually it was you who kept them at bay with alcohol.

“Yeah well, you helped with that too” He pointed out.

“I know. That’s why it’s even funnier for me.” You said amused. The elevator stopped at the main entrance of the building and Chanyeol took you to his car.

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chanyeol closed the door once he settled you on the couch. He was exhausted for almost dragging you from the parking lot to the lobby and then from the elevator to the dorms. He gave a sighed and turned to look at you. You were still mumbling random things and got slightly touchy with him during the whole ride to their home. At least she didn’t vomit in my car he thought relieved.

“Ok now. We need to get you to bed” He said. He approached you and was standing there thinking in which room he should left you. He decided to take you to his room in case you destroyed anything inside of it. He carried you bridal style and walked through the hall rapidly.

“Good God woman! You are definitely putting on some muscle” he said short of breath. You hummed in agreement. He kicked the door open and laid you on his bed.

“Chanyeol... I don’t feel well. I’m thirsty” you complained.

The tall boy was beginning to normalize his breathing when he said “I’ll be right back”.

He went to the kitchen for a bottle of water and jogged back to this room. He was at the door when the view in front of him took him by surprise.

“What did you do?” He almost yelled when he notice you were sitting on his bed without any pants.

“They are uncomfortable” you explained and pouted at him. He tried not to look at your legs and your underwear and handed you the bottle.

“Here, have this. It should help you a little bit” He explained, trying to look at anything but you. You noticed your best friend had his face and ears slightly red because of the embarrassment and made you chuckled. “What’s wrong? Clearly you had seen women’s legs before” you said amused. He didn’t answer at your statement and went to sit beside you. You took a zip of water and sighed in satisfaction.

“Better?” He asked while looking at you.

“Yeah” you said. Your drunken mind still taking the reins of your actions.

“You are bad” you said and slapped slightly his chest.

“Me?! I took you home” Chanyeol said offended.

“Jackson would have...” you said.

“Your perfect boyfriend couldn’t do it because he had other things more important to do” Chanyeol said bitterly. “He’s not my boyfriend” you corrected him.

“He’s not?!. Then you are friends with benefits” Chanyeol said sarcastically and you sneered.

“Psh... I wish. I mean have you seen him?” You said and Chanyeol gave you a judging look.

“I don’t like your drunk self” He pointed out.

“He is hot and he dances like OH MY GOD” you said and slapped his chest again. Chanyeol grimaced and grabbed your hand to prevent another slap.

“I got it. You are head over heels for him now shut up” Chanyeol said irritated.

“Not as I am with you” you said amusingly and leaned your body against his.

“What?” Chanyeol turned to look at you baffled.

“You” You said, cupping his cheek. You were looking at his lips. They seemed so soft and pink and juicy. 

I wondered how they would taste like you thought.

It was like you didn’t have control over your body as you leaned forward a little bit more and smashed your lips against his. Chanyeol had a bewildered look on his face. You had your lips pressing against his. For what he felt was a minute he stood there frozen. Your lips caught his lower lip and you caressed it gently with your tongue.

Chanyeol could taste the mix of different drinks on your lips and when he felt the feathery touch of your tongue against his he gave in. He closed his eyes and gently grabbed your arm. His lips caught yours and his tongue started tracing their edges. He felt an explosion inside of him. Even thought the kiss was slow he felt a storm of emotions; fear, shyness, love. He thought it was the best kiss he had ever received.

“Fake” you muffled against his lips. 

“What?” Chanyeol reacted at hearing your voice. The memories of tonight flashing in his mind and he remembered your drunken state. He broke up the kiss and looked at you.

“He” you whispered and before you could join your lips again you felt asleep. Your head crashing against Chanyeol’s chest.

He grabbed you and carefully laid you on the bed. He turned around and saw near his desk there was an acoustic guitar with a blue ribbon stuck to it. He went over to grabbed it and take a better look at it. The body was smooth and have the name “Loey” beautifully  carved at one side of it. It was a good brand too. He put his fingers over the strings and noticed it had a nice acoustic. He smiled at the sound of it but it quickly faded away as he remembered your last words.

“What was she talking about?” He asked to himself.  He laid next to you and turned his face so he could take a look at you. There was no way that you would answer him now. Fake. He. What is fake? And who is he? Was she talking about Jackson? Or me? Will she remembered this tomorrow?

Chanyeol’s mind was fill with so many questions right now. The tiredness from the day soon catching up with him and he felt asleep.

Tomorrow it would be a day full of explanations.

Thank you for the support and the love. I hope you like the series and enjoy this chapter. I’ll try to come up with the next one as soon as possible. Are you getting ready for the holidays?.  Also If you have any comments regarding the series feel free to send me a message. I think it would help me a lot.^^ 

MeseMoa. who trended when the members kissed each other - "My desire comes out strongly in my underwear" and a naked confession

This is an interview from modelpress published on 2nd November 2017 to mark the release of Tomitake and Nibansenji’s solo photobooks. Here’s the link for the original Japanese text and the photo gallery.

Unfortunately I couldn’t find an author to give credit to other than modelpress Editorial Department, and M-Up Inc. for the photos and article sponsorship.

I’ve done my best to translate it but there are still a few places that I’m unsure about. If you notice any mistakes please let me know and I’ll do my best to rectify them. 

The 9 member boys group MeseMoa. was formed in 2012 on a video sharing website. The 'self-proclaimed idols', who completed a nationwide 47 prefecture tour in 2016, have faced a sudden rise in popularity. In the MV for their song Shadow Kiss, included on their 1st album Secret that was released in April this year, the members shocked the world by kissing each other and became a hot topic. It was announced that 2 of those members, Tomitake and Nibansenji, will release their own fashion books this winter.

Starting with the first photobooks of the members who boast outstanding style, we talked frankly about their winter fashion and their views on love.

Does Tomitake practise his poses in front of the mirror?

How did you feel when you first heard that you were releasing these photobooks?

Tomitake: Because we're idols, I didn't expect we'd have the opportunity to release photobooks in the way that fashion models do, so I was surprised. I couldn't believe that a stylist who works for famous fashion magazines would do the styling for us!

Nibansenji: I've taken a step into a world that I'd thought was irrelevant to me, so somehow I still don't get the sense that it's something that I've done. Even when I look at the photos that have been taken of me, my reaction is more like, "I've seen this kind of photo somewhere before!" (laughs)

What kind of fashion tastes did you have shootings in?

Tomitake: Within MeseMoa., my image is soft and cute, so in contrast to that there was a lot of cool fashion this time around. I was hoping for a wild, masculine kind of styling. That's why I think that people who know me as Tomitake from MeseMoa. will find so many never before seen versions of me included in the book. But we also shot some cute scenes where my true nature just jumped out. I dragged Niban into it as well (laughs).

Nibansenji: I was well and truly dragged in.

Tomitake: I dragged him in for the cuts in the animal costumes (laughs). I'd said that I wanted to take some photos dressed as a rabbit, and they made that come true. I was a rabbit…

Nibansenji: And I was a giraffe. I'm tall so a giraffe seems pretty close to my image. Tomitake was a rabbit just because he likes them.

Tomitake: Right (laughs). From what I've seen, Niban generally wore a lot of beautiful fashion.

Nibansenji: I wore loads of clothes that I usually wouldn't, but my personal experience of the shooting was that it was less like a photobook and more like shooting for a slightly casual fashion magazine. Personally I think that in the photos we took, it wasn’t that the clothes looked good because I was wearing them, nor that I looked good because of the clothes, but that the clothes and I had a pretty harmonious balance (laughs).

I'm sure you've taken on various jobs as part of MeseMoa., but did you have any previous experience being fashion models?

Tomitake: Not really, so it was pretty difficult. For example, Niban had this cut where he was wearing a beret. Wearing a beret as part of a costume and trying to express the natural way it would be worn during everyday life seemed difficult to me when I was watching.

When shooting for fashion purposes, you have to think about the best way to show off the clothes while you're working.

Tomitake: Right! I learnt so many new things while we were shooting.

Did you make any special preparations before the shooting? Maybe checking your poses in the mirror?

Tomitake: Nope! I did…not at all (laughs).

Nibansenji: I didn't either, but I'm pretty sure Tomitake was definitely posing for the mirror (laughs).

Tomitake: I didn't! (laughs) There wasn't anything particularly troubling for this shooting. Often I watch overseas dramas that have fashion as their main theme, and I like to check fashion magazines if I have time, so maybe I just naturally absorbed some information about posing and stuff from there.

Nibansenji, the 'raw gemstone' that dulls as soon as it's been polished

Apart from dramas and magazines, how do you learn about the latest fashion?

Tomitake: I also use Instagram and other social media. Overseas fashion and Japanese fashion can be completely different so it's fun to look at. I actually prefer flashy clothes, but I tend to choose plain clothes for my everyday wear…I'm Japanese after all (laughs). That's why I was really glad to wear the clothes I actually wanted to wear this time.

Tomitake seems to take a lot of interest in fashion, but we've heard that Nibansenji is the complete opposite.

Nibansenji: I honestly don't care.

Tomitake: (laughs)

Nibansenji: I don't read fashion magazines or check fashion on the net. Most of the clothes I regularly wear are presents from fans…actually today's clothes are pretty much all presents (laughs). I don't have anything I'm particular about, but because I'm tall it's hard for me to find a size that fits. That's why when it came to the shooting I really didn't know how to act. Probably the first thing I asked was, "What should I do?". When it comes to MeseMoa., we usually shoot as a group of 9 or at least on a set with someone else so I'm used to that. But I really didn't know what to do when I was shooting alone, especially since I was trying to show off the clothes for the camera, so that was tough.

Tomitake: Niban honestly never buys clothes by himself. And this jacket he's wearing today? I'm pretty sure he's been wearing that same one for years and years (laughs).

Nibansenji: It's probably been about 5 years. I take care of my possessions.

Tomitake: You never change your wallet either, do you?

Nibansenji: I've been using this one for about 10 years now (laughs).

Tomitake: See! The way he takes care of things is just in a completely different league to me. He always uses things for several years, so I'd say in a way he's good at buying items that aren't influenced by trends (laughs).

Nibansenji: All the things I like are basically the same. So if you think that you haven't seen me using something for a while, please just assume that it was torn or broken (laughs). I do hear about some trends, and think that they're cool or unusual. But I don't leave the house unless I have plans, so the variation in clothes I wear outside will probably never increase.

Does that mean that you never really consider going out to buy clothes?

Nibansenji: Not really. Sometimes I'll go shopping if somebody invites me though.

Tomitake: He says that, but we've known each other for years now and yet I've only been shopping with him once and that was when we were abroad (laughs). I want to see him wearing lots of different clothes, so I'm persistent in inviting him. Niban can pull off stylish clothes, so we members try to get him to wear various things. By the way, I think of him as a 'dulled gemstone' (laughs). A gemstone that rarely lets you polish him, and when you think you've managed he grows dirty again in an instant…All of his own accord. Even though he's been nicely polished, he deliberately walks right back into the mud.

Niban: It's like, 'The polishing's done now? Sweet, I'm off to roll around in the mud' (laughs). Staff members often say I look completely different when I'm wearing our outfits and have had my hair and makeup done.

By the way, have you bought any trending fashion items recently?

Nibansenji: Last year I bought a blouson jacket from MA-1.

Tomitake: The most recent one was last year? (Laughs) It's true though, when I was at school I'd often talk about the latest fashion and trends with my friends, but as a group we prioritise music and dance instead. Honestly, we members rarely ever talk about fashion together.

Underwear particulars and confessions

Were there any outfits or items used during the shooting that you especially liked?

Tomitake: I had an on-location shoot in a leather biker jacket, and I really like that kind of rock-style, it packs a punch. I also came to like clothes that show off my body line.

Nibansenji: I wonder what I liked.

Tomitake: What I liked when I saw your photos were the outfits that used colour! Since you usually wear completely plain outfits. That orange knitwear and other slightly brighter clothes suit you surprisingly well!

Nibansenji: You think so? I tend to wear loose clothes, but I think maybe clothes that show my body line suit me more. However I still can't handle clothes that feel really tight to my body…

Speaking of, do you have any particulars when it comes to underwear?

Nibansenji: I won't wear anything other than trunks! Tight clothes and tight underwear are both bad.

Tomitake: You seem not to care about your underwear. That's why I always tell him to stop wearing pants that look like a middle schooler would buy them with their pocket money (laughs). By the way, I prefer boxers. My desire to wear flashy clothes comes out strongly in my choice of underwear, so I like to wear bright patterns. But today they're just a simple blue! (laughs)

Thanks for letting us know (laughs). We've heard that more and more people are moving away from wearing trunks, but how's the situation among those you know?

Nibansenji: Nobody else except me wears them. That's why Tomitake and even others ask me if I don't want to change. But I still don't like boxer types…

Tomitake: He'll probably be wearing trunks his whole life (laughs). One time he stayed over at my place and I lent him an entire outfit, including underwear. At the time he said he'd put up with it for a short while, but it was clear even then that he wouldn't want to keep wearing them. Or he could go full circle and start wearing fundoshi (laughs).

Nibansenji: That's never happening! (laughs)

Analysing their ideal types of women

Are there any items of women's fashion that you specifically like to see?

Tomitake: If Niban were to start talking about girls' fashion here, even his fans would get mad and wonder what the hell he's talking about (laughs).

Nibansenji: Especially since my own fashion is so slapdash (laughs). I guess it's okay to say that you like certain things, but if you start to say that you don't like something then it gets difficult, right?

Tomitake: That'd be so annoying! (laughs) I like seeing people who stick firmly to their principles, or seem to be having a lot of fun with their fashion. On a basic level, my eyes are drawn to flashy clothes. I'll probably see a lot of leather items that excite me in the coming season. But I also like a sweet and spicy mix, like a biker jacket over a dress or something.

Nibansenji: A sweet and spicy mix…?

Tomitake: It's a style that mixes sweet, feminine items with cool items. If I saw someone wearing a biker jacket over a pretty red dress I'd definitely look at them and think, 'What a cool rock style!'. But I also like very sweet, cute outfits. Also I think girls who can pull off woollen hats and berets have a high fashion sense. Berets in particular seem like they'd be hard to match with your clothes, but they leave such a girly impression so they're an interesting item.

Nibansenji: Damn…there's so many words flying around that I've never heard before (laughs).

Tomitake: Make sure you're following along properly! (laughs)

Nibansenji: I'll remember the sweet and spicy mix (laughs). I can't really give a concrete idea of fashion I particularly like, but for me as long as the person suits the clothes they're wearing then I think that's good fashion. But I do get intrigued when someone has a 'gap', I quite like that. Take our fans for example, if there's a girl who always wears skirts and suddenly one day she turns up in pants, then in my mind I'm kind of like, "Oh!". This is pretty clichéd , but I also like fluffy clothes.

Tomitake: You say all that but I can't even picture the type of girl you'd like. I think you can easily imagine my type though.

Nibansenji: Yeah. A dazzling girl, wearing black leather clothes that show her body line with her nails neatly painted. And uniform length hair.

Tomitake: Ah~ You know me so well. I like girls who are like divas from overseas. Like Beyoncé (laughs). A tsundere but without the 'dere' part (laughs). I like to be the one doing the chasing…I think.

Nibansenji:  Well, you tend to go for a pretty dazzling look when you crossdress.

They do say that when men crossdress, they tend to choose the style of their ideal woman.

Tomitake: I get that! My crossdressing was pretty damn dazzling (laughs). Niban dresses like a quiet girl who seems like she'd spend time reading books in the library. But then when she takes her glasses off she's really beautiful!

There's the 'gap' as he said.

Tomitake: What I can tell is that he prefers girls who aren't so flashy. This is kind of a different subject, but Niban is really close to what many girls hold as their 'ideal boyfriend'. I've got a lot of peculiar traits so there's a clear divide between those who like me and those who don't, but Niban's not like that - he's the type to be liked by everybody. Just saying it out loud annoys me! (Laughs)

Following on from your types, could you tell us about how to capture each other's interests?

Tomitake: Niban says that he's sloppy, and from the outside he seems like he's not too bothered about the fine details, but sometimes he's very particular about certain things that make you wonder why. I guess it depends on how you would approach that. He's not the type to get fussy over lots of things, but nobody understands his targets except him, so you might have to keep an open mind with him.

Nibansenji: I guess so. I think for Tomitake, it's best to firmly take the lead but also indulge him a little on the side. It's definitely better to take control over him. You need to be the type who'd tell him to stop hesitating over the same thing forever and a day.

Tomitake: You might be right! I don't think I could fall in love with someone who's not firmer than I am. Someone who can get things done makes me want to chase after them. If they were to say, 'Follow me!', I'd just be like, 'Yes!'. That's why I only need the 'tsun' part of a tsundere (laughs). Ah, but when it comes to our fans I like people who are kind and cheerful!

The photobooks are connected to the dream MeseMoa. is aiming for

It looks like you'll be holding lots of events around the release of the photobooks. What kind of events would you like them to be?

Tomitake: It's been a long, long time since we did an event with just the two of us. In the past Niban didn't really talk much, but recently he's become more proactive.

Nibansenji: I can talk in situations where my speaking partner won't, but if I'm with someone who talks a lot then I don't really speak.

Tomitake: Are you calling me a chatterbox? (laughs) Well then, this time I'll leave it to you. But when you start talking, you keep going for ages! (laughs) I'd like to give these events a sense of being special, but also with our usual unchanging atmosphere. Everything we're doing right now is all working towards the dream that MeseMoa. is aiming for. That includes the photobooks. The opportunities are increasing for many people to see our photos lined up in the bookshop, so that becomes part of MeseMoa.'s dream.

Nibansenji: We're really grateful for this chance. I'd like it to be seen by lots of people who are seeing us for the first time, but also both Tomitake and I believe we've taken some photos that will really satisfy our current fans, so I hope everyone is looking forward to it.

Thank you very much.

My review/thoughts on MOTS7!

This album blew me away in terms of the lyrics, sound composition, EVERYTHING in fact so I figured that I would write a little review of it! Listening to every past BTS album brings me acutely to a period of my life when it was first released so I’m curious to see what memories I’ll forever associate with MOTS7

Interlude: Shadow- From the moment the MV was dropped I was speechless by this masterpiece. It sets the tone for this album so incredibly well by setting up the parallels between fighting your shadows and being engulfed by them. This constant battle I feel is central to the album as a whole. The alternation between Yoongi’s whispered beginning of “I wanna be a rapstar” “I wanna be king” to the Agust D esque switch of flow at the end almost seems as though his shadow is talking back to him. It is as though he realises that he cannot escape it but must embrace it to emerge from it. And also his INSANE flow and fluidity of rap is just something else, this song was made for Suga. 

Black Swan- This has got to be one of my favourite songs from the album, I was hooked by the dark, almost classical intrumentals paired with the urgency of the vocals and rap. I feel as though this is one of the most introspective songs the boys have ever written, with the analogy of the dancer’s first death working to illustrate how art is all consuming for the creator. The pulsing beat underneath the vocals and rap served as a reminder of how important it is for artists to have something that literally makes their heart beat. It’s rare when songs make you truly analyse not only the lyrics but your relation to them and Black Swan 100% did that for me. 

Filter- This had me HOOKED from the first few strings and the smooth Latin beat made me imagine listening to this whist walking through a bustling city at sunset. Jimin’s vocal range and siren like vocals make this song alluring and addictive in a way that no other singer could have done. The lyrics are playful and confident yet simultaneously deep. Jimin realises how attractive his various sides are to millions around the world and he owns that, yet he’s also aware that what people see is mostly akin to a filter, not reality in itself. 

My Time- I’m so proud of Jungkook for experimenting and creating different sounds for each of his solo tracks and My Time is no exception. His beautiful airy vocals echo and blend perfectly with the lowkey beat. The lyrics hit hard when you realise that Jungkook’ s time scale of life has been directly opposite to that of his peers. He’s grown up on airplanes while they took the subway and you get a sense of yearning from his voice, a yearning for maybe the childhood and things he missed out on. Yet there’s a sense of assertion, that he owns his time has been different and accepts his fate. 

Louder than bombs- I 100% understand why Namjoon cried writing this song. It so perfectly encapsulates the sense of fear and desperation that arises from uncertainty in one’s position in life. Troye did such a great job helping the boys with this song because it sounds sonically like the pair of them together. Even though this song is one of the darker numbers on the album it is offset by the small hints of hope. Namjoon’s mantra that he’s going to “pray for better days” is so striking because often in life that’s all you can do when you’re breaking- hope that things will change and the majority of the time they do, so you need to keep that fire of hope alive in you. 

ON- On is a certified bop and its so INTENSE with the drum beats in the beginning. This song is going to be amazing in concerts with its anthemic rhythm and the lyrics “bring the pain on” and “can’t hold me down cos I’m a fighter” are so empowering. I feel this song embraces the pain and hardship with the confidence of the rap and vocals coming together to say- bad things will happen but we’ll emerge stronger and surge ON. 

UGH!- Even from the title I could tell that this queen was going to sit with her sisters Ddaeng and Cypher. I’m so incredibly proud of our rapline they SNAPPED, like the flow, the wordplay the artistry?? The gunshots immediately grabbed my attention and the build up the chorus which hits like a gut punch is EVERYTHING. The way they discuss anger is so pertinent, with the rise of social media people unleash their anger on whoever they choose whilst hiding behind a screen on anonymity. Anger, like they say, is necessary but only when it can be used as a motivator for justice. Petty cowardly anger, like that which is directed towards BTS, can only lead to pain and that is what our rapline so masterfully condemns. 

Zero O Clock- This is my new healing song, the acoustic guitar and soothing vocals are like a warm hug. The chorus is so uplifting and assuring, just hearing the gentle refrain of “and you’re gonna be happy” is so comforting. This reminds me of curling up on a winter’s day and finding comfort in small things and happy memories regardless of the storm that rages outside. The way that BTS never tell you meaningless words like “don’t be sad”, instead they assure you that sadness will not last forever and that the metaphorical spring will brighten your life once more. 

Inner Child- Tae’s solo track radiates innocence and I am so in love with it. The way that he accepts his past and the hard times he went through and instead of allowing himself to dwell on it, he looks to the future. The refrain “we gon change” is going to be so uplifting at concerts. Even though our boys bring us so much joy we have to remember they’ve been through so many trials in the past. It’s comforting to know that I’ve gone through struggles alongside him and we can both move on whilst still recognising that our scars are the reason we are here now and that they prove we are alive and capable of healing. 

Friends- One of my favourites from this album hands down. This makes me so inexplicably happy. It reminds of walking home hands intertwined with your best friend after school, late night conversations and inside jokes that make you double over whilst still containing that deep and powerful love you share with your soulmate alone. And isn’t that just vmin encapsulated? I can’t wait to see they perform this live, the Stay! Hey! part makes me so nostalgic and makes me want to reassure them that they’ll always have each other and the cheers of us, their ARMY. The part where they acknowledge their relationship as soulmates made me BAWL, their bond is one of such purity and rarity and I’m honoured to even witness it. 

Moon- Another one of my all time favourites from this album. This could be the soundtrack for a slice of life anime and it is so bright and cheery, like Jin himself. His sweet vocals and the beat fits the spring season so well and the lyrics made me so soft. The way he uses the metaphor of him being the moon and circling us, his precious earth made me realise even more how much his man ADORES us. How could anyone sleep on Jin?? He’s songwriting is so pure and his presence gives me such comfort and hope, you’re so much more than just a moon Jin. You’re our one and only moon. 

Respect- Namgi you geniuses! The wordplay, playful banter and topic matter are so unique in this song that I knew that it could only be made for the two of them. Respect I feel at the foundation of all relationships, can you ever have a healthy and mutual relationship with anyone or thing if you don’t respect them? With their distinctive rap that blends and flows so well with each other Namgi discuss the concept of respect and what it really means in the modern world when people place a veneer over their actions and words so as to disguise whether or not they truly respect you. As artists all I feel Bangtan want is people to respect them, not idolise them, but respect their artistry and work and sadly in an world where people hold numerous prejudices this is hard. Kudos to them for exploring this topic in a way that is simultaneously light with the satori at the end but still very thought provoking. 

We are Bulletproof: The Eternal- I was 100% expecting this song to be a hardcore hip hop track so imagine my surprise to find a song that made its way into my BTS songs I can’t listen to casually because they mean too much to me and will make me bawl in public tracklist. The gorgeously haunting melody, the angelic vocals and intensely emotional rap has me in tears. When they sing “We were only seven” and “But we have you all now” I lost it. The memories I have of BTS who were my second family for the majority of my youth, the times we spent together, the music that was the soundtrack to my life. The way they adore us and find comfort and hope from us... this song really made me believe that I’m going to love them forever and vice versa. It makes me less scared to go on the rollercoaster that is life knowing that I will always have Bangtan beside me. 

Outro:Ego- I saw a post that said Namjoon looks up to his Persona, Yoongi’s Shadow looks down on him but Hobi is the only one who is at the same level as, and looks his Ego right in the eye. I feel this song is such a wonderful upbeat positive track that is so Hoseok?? The way that he accepts his fate and looks forward and is confident and happy in the person he is now? This is going to be amazing at all the summer concerts and it just radiates such joy and never fails to make me dance. The perfect ending to an album that chronicles the ups and downs of BTS’s relationship with their career and selves and ultimately ends on such a bright note of hope and happiness.
