Jack is disenchanted and disappointed. As exciting as it was to talk to Tiny Can, he'd expected more of the AI Therapist.

Sai went back to sleep again, he's exhaused from crying and reliving his worst memories. And Ji Ho and Jack decided to play a bit. But the only 'game' available is a boring puzzle... Jack: "Oh my, I don't know what's more boring. This puzzle or our therapy... Have they never heard about gamification? Or fun? Or to make it a bit more interesting?" Ji Ho agreed. Though the insight about Vlad and his own locked away feelings was interesting. Maybe he should follow and explore these thoughts a bit deeper.

Suddenly Saiwa was wide awake: "What did you just say, Jack?"

Jack: "Uh - probably something wrong? You finish the puzzle, Ji Ho, I go and run."

Saiwa: "No! That's actually brilliant!

Gamification! The Game!!!

We combine the AI with our game and make it a Therapy Game!" Jack and Ji Ho: "..." (Haha you can see how Jack and Ji Ho's brains are working ^^') Saiwa: "And not just for us - for other creatures too! This would have been so helpful when we'd been so scared and alone! And who knows? This could be a sucess and we'd make money to pay Rubyn and the others back!" We barely get to see Saiwa this excited ^^' But here some of his main interests meet, his love for games and computers - and being there for others and help them.

Vlad went back home to grab Saiwa, Jack and Ji Ho's content they'd already had created for their game over the last months and then they started their epic gathering to develop the:

For the computer game they'd planned, Jack already made the concept art and design, Vlad wrote and Ji Ho composed the music and soundscapes. They are going to feed all this to Tiny Can and see what kind of 'gamification therapy' he'll create. How exciting! (For me it really is! Imagine this: a game that also is a therapy - supported by an AI! How amazing would that be if you could see the things that make you suffer from a distance and you'd find solutions for them by doing insightful AND funny AND interesting quests! You'd gain helpful new habits and get rid of unhealthy ones by playing a game! Where I live it's so hard to find a therapy place. We have to wait up to a year -.- I do have high hopes in AI. You could go by your own pace. And you wouldn't even have to leave the house!)

After a very long gathering, Ji Ho and Jack relaxed in the hot tub. Jack's pain is thanking him. They sat silent for quite a while, lost in their thoughts. Very unusual for Jack, but his brain is running on hyper speed now. He's so excited :3 And Ji Ho was pondering about his locked down feelings. The Bond made it easy for him to love Luci. They had a whole different approach to each other. While his relationship with Vlad was doomed from the beginning (their story in (kind of ^^') short -> here).

The only ocassions where Ji Ho was really comfortable with Vlad was, when they touched and made love. And this is also a benefit of the Bond and Luci because Ji Ho hated being touched in the beginning. After all he'd seen at the House of the rising Sun in the slums of Sulani. But Luci had approached him slowly and tenderly. Ji Ho shared his thoughts with Jack: "Do you think this might be a way to become more comfortable with Vlad and finally be able to love him? And to find my buried down feelings?" Jack: "I think that's brilliant! At least one of us learned something in that therapy. When you charge the Bond later, just try a bit more and we'll see how it goes."

A little later Vlad came down: "Uhm, I'm leaving now. The Bond..."

Ji Ho left the hot tub and went over to Vlad to charge the Bond - and try his new theory... They embraced each other as usual and then Ji Ho tried to kiss Vlad.

But Vlad moved his head aside and whispered: "I want nothing more than you - but not like this." Vlad's breath ghosted over Ji Ho's still wet skin and made him shiver.

Vlad still has his principles - not to forget his foolish pride. No way he's going to have a plain physical relationship with Ji Ho - without love. There is no 'two out of three ain't bad' or 'it's better than nothing' in Vlad's world ^^' Only 'it's all or nothing'. He would do anything for Ji Ho, but he won't - and can't do that. It would break him apart. That does not mean it was easy for him to not give in and leave. Vlad really is the master of self control ö.ö

And then Vlad left. Ji Ho seems a bit piqued after Vlad's rejection ^^'

'I can't stop this feeling Deep inside of me Girl, you just don't realize What you do to me

When you hold me In your arms so tight You let me know Everything's all right

I'm hooked on a feeling I'm high on believing That you're in love with me'

Hooked on a Feeling - Blue Swede from the OST of Guardians of the Galaxy I

Outtakes

He will be mine, oh yes, he will be mine.

Yang Mal: "Can we grill our corncobs now?" 🌽 Saiwa: "Uhm - sure ö.Ö'"

Ji Ho checking the mail... 📬 Who might have sent that letter when Ji Ho looks like that?

Sometimes, love doesn’t win. Sometimes beautiful things end because you outgrow another human being, sometimes love becomes too heavy to hold — the potential and the lessons and the evolution have reached a threshold, there is nowhere else to place your hope. That is not something you should deem a failure or something that should break your heart. That is something to celebrate.

I think that many of us are raised in a way that conditions us to think that unconditional love or being connected to someone means that we have to pour all of ourselves into that person, ignore their harmful behaviors in the name of forgiveness because they’re family, friends, lovers and that’s what it means to genuinely be a good person and a kind-hearted person because we’re told that’s what needs to be done to be worth something or be someone who is valuable and worth keeping close to them. We’re not taught that true unconditional love is being able to love someone and want good things for them and be able to set yourself apart and love yourself unconditionally as well by validating and understanding your needs and what needs to be done when we come across someone we love unconditionally that may not be the best thing for us, who may not be the nicest to us or treat us kindly or give us the treatment that we deserve. I’ve learned this lesson all on my own before, it’s part of finding acceptance and being able to let go of someone or the outcome of having this physical representation of “togetherness” with someone that you love. And I’m revisiting this idea because we learn this lesson over and over again, in different forms, with different people, in different levels of consciousness. Today, I’m learning this lesson again and revisiting this lesson again to learn it in the aspect of what it means to release control and open up my energy to accept more and release the fear regarding potential outcomes not existing in my life.

It’s okay to love something and learn to accept that you’re not going to have it anymore. It’s okay to love something and accept that on its own time, if it’s going to be yours it will make its way to you. It's okay I love something and understand that unconditional tolerance isn't the answer. It's okay to love something and find acceptance in the fact that you love yourself, love your peace, love your happiness, and the broad possibility of having more and receiving more, more.

It’s okay to accept people for who they are, who they’ll become, and who they used to be.

It’s okay to accept and appreciate old timelines or moments in time when things were drastically different, when you resonated with something more, when someone treated you differently or better, as long as you’re releasing these things and continuously asking for and expecting better even if it does not come in the form of that person or thing.

A Letter to my unrequited love - II

{Confessions of a scorpio moon}

You'd dump your trauma on me and I'd take it all happily, thinking it'd help you feel better, lighter. I thought you deserved to feel the happiest. And I'd easily swap your pain with the rare moments of joy I managed to feel. I stayed up at nights listening to you vent about your failed relationships, madly in love with you, shattering silently on the floor of my bedroom, ignoring my pain and paying heed to yours. You always came first, right? You were so dreamy, how could anyone ever hurt you? It felt absolutely cruel. I wanted to nurse your wounds and it was honestly too late when I realized that I was burning myself all throughout to warm you up. I didn't stop though. Why would I? You were someone I'd never want to lose. You made me feel wanted for a short amount of time. Your scraps of love and attention made me feel like a queen. I felt so loved. It touched my heart. No one ever expressed that kind of love to me before. I didn't even love myself half as much as I loved you. I was trained to be a giver, to cater to everyone else's needs and the same pattern unfolded here. You kept depleting me of the little love I had and I didn't mind it. We both would pour our love into you and I'd watch you bloom. You'd give your love to everyone except me. I wanted to claim a piece of your love. Your time. Your attention. I wanted to talk to you. I wanted to go deep into your psyche to understand and explore every bit of you. Everything you did made me fall for you harder and harder. It seemed to me like you enjoyed hurting me. Making me wait. Watching me get jealous. Triggering my childhood wounds. You'd feel cocky and arrogant knowing I was so desperate to talk to you. I'd sacrifice my self-respect and initiate a conversation all the time. You'd play it cool. You were cool. But you were cold. And distant too. You often called me names, insulted me and made me feel like trash. You didn't hesitate to walk all over me or use me like your punchbag. You took your anger out on me and I took the abuse not knowing how to pull myself out of the mess I got into.

I have spent sleepless nights trying to figure out why I wasn't enough. I questioned my worth several times. I never felt like I could match up to you. I could never meet you up there. The more I loved you, the more I began to hate myself. I didn't love myself even half as much as I loved you. It didn't make sense to me. But I didn't care. Until you broke my heart. Brutally. You stabbed my back with a smile on your face. Damn, your smile. It melted my broken heart. I couldn't bring myself to hate you. But I had to. I had to do something about it. I had nothing left. I felt hopeless and powerless. It was the last straw that broke the camel's back. Had it been a little sooner, I wouldn't have to move mountains to heal myself. Maybe it'd come easy.

Thank you for being the braver one among the two of us. One of us had to do it. One of us had to break my heart. Thankyou for leaving me broken. I've built it stronger this time. Don't bother knocking on the door. You're not welcome.

-R

Jack: "Vlad! Ji Ho! We are having a date!" Little Goat: 'A date?' Vlad: "A date?" Kumo, the sheep: 'Yes, it's Valentine's Day!' Jack: "Yes, it's Valentine's Day!"

All (except for Jack and Kumo): 'Ohhhh!' And while the Goats look forward to it, because they love romance and root for the Boys, Ji Ho and Vlad seem a bit overwhelmed. (haha exactly like on their last date ^^')

Jack: "Take a seat!" Aouww! Jack set up a waffle stand for them! How sweet <3

Poor Vlad! He hates surprises and is completely unprepared. But that was Jack's plan. If he had told Vlad his plans for today he would have ran off ^^'

Jack: "Have fun you two! I have another date. I can't leave Sai alone today." Vlad: "What?" Ji Ho: "We're fine, Sai needs you. Thank you for setting this up for us."

Vlad: "Jack! You can't leave me alone right now!"

Off he goes... and Vlad asks himself (again) why Jack is his best friend...

Nothing you can know that isn't known (love) Nothing you can see that isn't shown (love) There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be, it's easy

All you need is love All you need is love All you need is love, love Love is all you need

don’t sit in shit for too long because eventually it stops smelling.”

I wanted so badly to believe he wanted more out of this but everything from never initiating plans to having to ask for my basic needs to be met i.e, consistent communication said otherwise.

the red flags were right before my eyes, they always had been + always were. the tint of my rose colored glasses kept me from seeing the reality of my situation.

and that’s when I knew that this would always be one sided, that I would always care more + that someday I would get exhausted from having to carry so much of the weight of this pretentious connection that we both knew wasn’t going anywhere.

being vulnerable to someone who is emotionally inept + emotionally unavailable is a dead end road. It’s like talking to a brick wall.

from his empty apologies to your concerns being belittled and dismissed as an inconvenience to have to address let alone think about. god forbid he deal with understanding his own emotions or unpacking some of his own trauma.

as much as I want to believe that love is enough, it isn’t.

you can’t love your way into someone’s heart and you sure as hell can’t love your way into forcing someone to care about you.
