The Priory School pts 2-4

So, I was away and then I was sick, so this has taken a while to get around to. Sorry! In case you've ever been curious, going on a plane with a cold is an utterly miserable experience and 0/10 would not recommend. Don't do it. My ears still have not recovered. They should not be crackling like this.

Last time, a young boy whose parents had separated (leaving him with apparently the parent he liked less as primary caregiver) was shipped off to boarding school, from which he disappeared after receiving a letter allegedly from his father. A school teacher disappeared the same night along with a bicycle. The father of the child didn't want scandal so he's not telling anyone that his child is missing - I guess he really wasn't interesting in that father of the year award - and he and his secretary came to tell Holmes to back off.

Lots of people seem to suspect the teacher in spite of the fact he appears to have left in somewhat of a hurry and only one bicycle was missing. I find the secretary suspicious mainly because he's become such a fixture in the narrative (and because he's the one who's providing a lot of the information for the case and also the guy who posts the Earl's letters for him... was it an earl? My heart says it's an earl. Personally I think marquises are criminally underused, but it's more likely to have been an earl.)

Did I remember it all?

Part 2

"He had obtained a large ordnance map of the neighbourhood, and this he brought into my room, where he laid it out on the bed, and, having balanced the lamp in the middle of it, he began to smoke over it, and occasionally to point out objects of interest with the reeking amber of his pipe."

I assume that this means objects of interest to the case, but considering it's Holmes it could mean anything at all. Which is a far more charming image. Just Holmes poring over the map and occasionally saying 'oh, look here, Watson, the contour lines are very circular here abouts.' 'How does that pertain to the boy, Holmes?' 'What? Oh, not at all, but it does suggest some kind of ancient burial mound might be concealed there.'

"...there is no side road for a mile either way."

Excellent. It does make things easier.

Oooh, a map. A map. I do love a map.

Although, that inn is definitely called the Fighting Cock Inn, not the Fighting Clock Inn (there's one with a similar name nearish where I grew up).

Yep, that's Fighting Cock Inn.

Wait a sec... Heidegger's Body? Is Heidegger the German Teacher? Is he dead? Did I miss him dying? Oh... RIP Heidegger. I'm not sure your body has been discovered yet in the text, but apparently it's out there.

“In the van of the gipsies who camped on the moor. They left on Tuesday. To-day the police traced them down and examined their caravan. This was found.”

Well it's not them, unless they're someone else in disguise. I suppose they could be working for his mother. But thank you for the reminder of the racism, I guess?? I had almost forgotten about that in my eagerness to read the story.

"Now, Watson, there is cocoa ready in the next room. I must beg you to hurry, for we have a great day before us.”

Well, at least Watson got cocoa this time? Last time I don't think he got anything until after a long train journey, so this is better?

“I am familiar with forty-two different impressions left by tyres. This, as you perceive, is a Dunlop, with a patch upon the outer cover. Heidegger's tyres were Palmer's, leaving longitudinal stripes. Aveling, the mathematical master, was sure upon the point. Therefore, it is not Heidegger's track.”

OK, Holmes knowing 42 types of tyre track, fine. Makes sense. THe Maths teacher knowing what the German teacher's bike tyres looked like? Weird. Unless he also has bike tyres as a special interest.

"The more deeply sunk impression is, of course, the hind wheel, upon which the weight rests. You perceive several places where it has passed across and obliterated the more shallow mark of the front one. It was undoubtedly heading away from the school."

I don't... understand how that works. Surely it would have crossed over the front tyre track no matter which way it was going?

“But we have a long way still to go. Kindly walk clear of the path. Now let us follow the trail. I fear that it will not lead very far.”

Hey, Holmes looked at the map too! I joke, I joke. But yeah, sorry Heidegger. You seemed like a good guy.

"That he could have gone on after receiving such an injury said much for the vitality and courage of the man. He wore shoes, but no socks, and his open coat disclosed a night-shirt beneath it. It was undoubtedly the German master."

And thus to part 3. Poor Heidegger did not deserve to die. He was doing his best.

Part 3

As we approached the forbidding and squalid inn, with the sign of a game-cock above the door, Holmes gave a sudden groan and clutched me by the shoulder to save himself from falling. He had had one of those violent strains of the ankle which leave a man helpless.

Part 3 starting out strong at the Fighting Cock Inn. And please, Watson... like we believe Holmes has twisted his ankle. Please tell me that by this time in your association you did not believe Holmes had actually twisted his ankle? The man once pretended he was dying. He once pretended he was dead. You cannot tell me you honestly believed he had twisted his ankle.

“Look here, my man,” said he. “This is really rather an awkward fix for me. I don't mind how I get on.” “Neither do I,” said the morose landlord.

Look, I know he's a dick and he's the landlord of a pub named after animal cruelty, but still... I kind of like Mr Hayes. His level of fucks given is very Life Goals.

“Pals of the Dook, I suppose?” said the landlord, surveying our mud-stained garments with ironical eyes.

Ah. he's a duke. Well, I remembered the rest. Marquises are still underutilised.

“Because we bring him news of his lost son.”The landlord gave a very visible start.

And that's not suspicious at all.

Again a swift change passed over the heavy, unshaven face. His manner was suddenly genial.

Oh my god... maybe try not to react? I take it back, this guy gives far too many fucks. All his idgafuckery is an illusion. He's a fraud.

“Strange, Watson, that we should see tracks all along our line, but never a cow on the whole moor; very strange, Watson, eh?”

Oh bloody hell, the cows were horses all along. I can't believe I didn't think of that. I trusted Holmes to know the difference between cow and horse tracks, but I guess hes taken up too much brain space with tyre tracks and tobacco ash for animal tracks to be in there as well.

"By George, Watson, it was no brain of a country publican that thought out such a blind as that!"

Classist.

“The Duke's secretary!” cried Holmes.

Vindication! cried I.

Holmes keeps 'crying' things when they are trying to be stealthy.

Wilder doesn't seem like the type to cave someone's head in with a blunt object. Presumably he was on the dunlop tyred bicycle and someone else (the innkeeper, perhaps) was on the horse cow with the boy.

I know a lot of children say they want their teachers to die, but if this kid watched that happen and was unaffected then he's severely lacking in empathy and I in turn will be severely lacking in empathy for him.

“I fancy that I see your Grace's cheque-book upon the table,” said he. “I should be glad if you would make me out a cheque for six thousand pounds. It would be as well, perhaps, for you to cross it. The Capital and Counties Bank, Oxford Street branch, are my agents.”

Holmes is being exceedingly mercenary in this one. He does not like this guy, it seems. Perhaps the man he saw in that window was the Duke himself and he had his own son kidnapped in order to... idk? Incriminate his wife so that he could divorce her properly or something? I imagine kidnapping would be grounds for a divorce even in Victorian times.

“I accuse you,” said he. “And now, your Grace, I'll trouble you for that cheque.”

J'ACCUSE!

And so to part 4.

I'm pretty sure in the first part I said the guy either knew exactly where his son was or he was the worst father ever. I mean, those two things were never mutually exclusive, were they?

Part 4

“I hardly understand your Grace.” “I must put it plainly, Mr. Holmes. If only you two know of this incident, there is no reason why it should go any farther. I think twelve thousand pounds is the sum that I owe you, is it not?”

We gonna indulge in a little bribery, huh? As a treat? Going to throw some money around and pretend like a man wasn't murdered because of our petty family squabbles?

Heidegger was worth more than £12k.

(That's about £1.2mill today btw)

“I fear, your Grace, that matters can hardly be arranged so easily. There is the death of this schoolmaster to be accounted for.” “But James knew nothing of that. You cannot hold him responsible for that. It was the work of this brutal ruffian whom he had the misfortune to employ.”

Pretty sure that's still a crime... that resulted in a man's death... for literally trying to save your son.

With all due respect, your grace (and that is none) Fuck. You.

"He lost not an hour in breaking entirely with the murderer. Oh, Mr. Holmes, you must save him—you must save him! I tell you that you must save him!”

My dudes, is the duke fucking his secretary? Kinda seems like the duke is fucking his secretary. This is the first time he's shown concern or emotion for anyone other than himself this entire time. Sure he knew where his son was the whole time, but still...

"I am right glad to hear it, if it will not react upon the fate of James.” “Your secretary?” “No, sir; my son.”

Oh... they not fucking. Nope... well that... let's draw a line under that shall we and back away from that entire line of thought.

Mmhm

God the duke is a dickhead.

"When I was a very young man, Mr. Holmes, I loved with such a love as comes only once in a lifetime."

Oh fuck off with that shit.

"...I gave him the best of educations, and since he came to manhood I have kept him near my person."

You couldn't have helped him get a job that... wasn't connected to you. So he could be his own person and not basically his own father's servant for his entire life?

So , let me get this straight. You didn't acknowledge him - even just to himself - you arranged and controlled his life and then when he found out he threatened to expose you? Honestly... fair.

And understandable that he hates the legitimate kid, too. He really shouldn't be taking it out on the child, obviously, and he's an arsehole, but it's absolutely understandable.

"All her pretty ways, too—there was not one of them which he could not suggest and bring back to my memory."

There comes a time when this stops being sweet and starts being creepy.

Why send him to school and not to his mother, which is.... further away from your jealous illegitimate child?

"I answer that there was a great deal which was unreasoning and fanatical in the hatred which he bore my heir. In his view he should himself have been heir of all my estates, and he deeply resented those social laws which made it impossible."

He may be a terrible person, but he does make some good points.

"I found him safe and well, but horrified beyond expression by the dreadful deed he had witnessed."

So Arthur's the best guy in this family, huh? Poor kid.

“This is indeed a most serious matter. Even more culpable in my opinion, your Grace, is your attitude towards your younger son. You leave him in this den for three days.” “Under solemn promises—”

Yeah, because people always keep their promises. Particularly when there's the chance of blackmail involved.

Worst Dad of the Year?

"What he will divulge I cannot tell, but I have no doubt that your Grace could make him understand that it is to his interest to be silent."

Not sure what he can offer a guy who's literally going to die either way? A quicker, more painless death perhaps. He doesn't seem like the type who would care about other people.

“In that case, your Grace, since you have yourself stated that any unhappiness in your married life was caused by his presence, I would suggest that you make such amends as you can to the Duchess, and that you try to resume those relations which have been so unhappily interrupted.”

I don't know the woman, but I know she does not deserve that. Holmes, you have got to stop trying to play matchmaker between rich dickheads and the women they have hurt. It's not a good look for you.

“These shoes,” it ran, “were dug up in the moat of Holdernesse Hall. They are for the use of horses; but they are shaped below with a cloven foot of iron, so as to throw pursuers off the track."

That explains Holmes' confusion.

Holmes folded up his cheque and placed it carefully in his note-book. “I am a poor man,” said he, as he patted it affectionately and thrust it into the depths of his inner pocket.

Well that's only true relatively, Holmes. I think almost everybody is poor compared to him. And you're being a right little shit about this, aren't you? Not that he doesn't deserve it, but still.

So that was the case. The duke at the time of initially talking to Holmes didn't know where his son was so he really was just a terrible father in so many ways.

I hope the Duchess tells him where to get lost and keeps living in France on his dime, tbh. And that Arthur goes and lives with her because clearly his father doesn't actually care about him at all.

47002 on AO3 at the moment! And so much more in my docs.

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Primarily Fallen Hero, with a dash of TWC and some other fandoms sprinkled in my WIPS but I've been on Fallen Hero brainrot for a long time now so the other fandoms are currently neglected.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

HA. you want me to pick??? Ok hrm. maybe bath(toaster)tub? anamnesis also has so me pretty angsty pieces in there.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

PFFF. ok gotta. go look for this one. Maybe sargasso sea, though it's technically not the last iteration in its series between a continued plotline hinted out in after the fall and a third part planned for its series.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Not yet! I think.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

(slaps brain) this bad boy can generate so much smut. I write pretty much any kind? Soft, rough, indulgent, M/M, F/M, F/F, other any everything, kinky or emotional, etc. Just whatever strikes me at the time, but most just dont get published bc I'm mid.

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

I typically HATE crossover fics they just aren't my thing I do write AUs of X story set in X story's universe, just haven't published them (wait does that still count as a crossover).

16. What are your writing strengths?

Shorter pieces! They tend to be about ~2000-5000 words per part, that's usually when I feel I've done my best. I'm also. Decent at NSFW writing? Sometimes, at least.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Definitely long fics. I had a plan for freefall and have scrapped and adapted it multiple times now, pus it's just difficult to keep myself interested in specific but necessary chapters.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

It's fun! I've included Spanish and Russian excerpts into my fics before but I don't do it a lot. Considered writing fully in Spanish at some point for an Ortega POV but I'm not confident in my grammar abilities. Spanish verb tenses my beloathed.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Naruto. On a different old account best left to gather dust.

20. Favorite fic you've written?

Hm, I'm not sure if I have a favorite. I do really like the NSFW piece I wrote from Remy's POV, though. Short but good.

KK3 Terry Silver X Reader

Context: Damsel In Distress! Your in a dangerous position, and Terry comes to help you 💚 Part 2/2

Contains: S#xual content, female oral receiving, s#xual intercourse

You were just popping out to get some cash, so you could get something nice to wear for this evening. You were looking forward to going to the night club with Terry and John....especially Terry. There was just something about him that attracted you to him, he was charming, handsome, understanding to you, and damn his eyes were so blue and deep you could drown in them. No! Stop it Y/N, he's one of your bosses! Stop thinking that way! You try to focus on anything else other than Terry, and thankfully that's when you reach the card machine. Popping in your card, you knew how much to expect since Terry and John had given you a BIG raise. There should be £2.500 in there, so let's have a look. You pressed bank balance.....but there wasn't £2.500 in there......there was £22.500!!! What the f#ck?!?! Taking your card out and redoing the process all over again, the same amount was still there! How?! This wasn't your money?! And how the hell did this get into your bank account?! You walk away from the card machine with shaking hands, and call the only people who might have some knowledge of this, Terry or John. John wasn't answering, so you call Terry. "Hey Y/N! Hows it going?"

"Hows it going? Terry I think you and John have MAJORLY over paid me, or something else is wrong with my bank account!" "What do you mean? You should have over 2 grand in there shouldn't you?" "Yes, I have WELL over 2 grand! There's £22 thousand in there! I don't know where that came from or who's money it actualy is-I-I think my heart is beating so fast it wants to leap out of my chest!" "Woh woh ok calm down Y/N, I know what this is from" "What's it from?" "This is your compensation money" "........huh?....." "You remember your gym boss, Martin, firing you? Well technically that was something called unfair dismissal. Something I used as a lawsuit against him" "Oh god no! Terry you didn't! I told you I didn't want to deal with him again!" "I know, and that's why I dealt with him instead. It was easy, he cracked like an egg when me and my lawyers approached him. This is all legally binding, and you got the compensation you deserve" At this moment you are utterly speechless, you don't know weather to be angry, impressed, thankful? Your completely stunned. "Y/N look, I know you didn't want to go through that. But I know a truly kind hearted person when I see one, and none of what happened to you is anything you deserved. He's paid the lawsuit, your rid of him AND you have £22 thousand to use however you like!"

"I've.....I've never had this much money before Terry, I.....I wouldn't know where to start" "Do with it whatever you want, enjoy it. You deserve it, honestly you do. Are you alright now?" "Uhhh, yeh I guess" "Alright then, I'll leave you to whatever you were doing. I'll see you tonight, I'll pick you up around 9. Buy Y/N!" "Buy Terry" The phone call stops and you stare down at your phone in pure disbelief, Terry managed to do that for you? And now you have and extra £20 thousand in your bank account.....what would you do with this kind of money? You decided to go across the street and have a drink in the coffee shop to think things over, and to calm your nerves too. You have a long think about what this money could do for you, and once you've finished your drink, you have a plan. You go to your landlord and pay the rent he wants, even without this £22 thousand you can now pay your rent and live happily with the pay rise. And once you've done that, you head to the bank and make a savings account to put the money in there...but not all of it....You put £18 thousand into the savings account, and keep the rest for yourself to splurge. You've never splurged before, and now you have an opportunity where you can! You were going into town to get something nice to wear anyway, so why not make a day out of it?

And there would still be plenty left to use for going out to the club tonight, so that's exactly what you did. You bought any essentials you needed, along with some lovely clothes and a few things to make your home look a little nicer. You also treated yourself to a nice lunch while you were there, and the last shop you were in, you were trying to decide which outfit to wear for the night. Silver or Green? They both looked lovely, and made you look fantastic. In the end, you went with the silver outfit.

So once you got home, you unpacked all the things you bought, including the gorgeous outfit for tonight too. You checked your online banking and saw that you still had over £1000 to play with, so money was no object tonight. You spent the rest of the day doing your usual things, and before you were ready to go, you made sure you ate a decent meal to keep you going while you were out with Terry and John. You hadn't been to a club in a long time, and you just hoped it was going to be fun. The last time you went there, it was too loud, the floor was sticky and some random guy tried groping you. Hopefully with Terry and John along, there wouldn't be any issues. Later that night, just before 9 o'clock, Terry pulled up outside your place to pick you up. He looked so chill and relaxed in his normal clothes, it made a nice change seeing him in a shirt and jeans. He was sitting in his car when you walked up to him.

You smiled when you saw him, but when he saw you....he was mesmerized. "Y/N you look....just wow!" "Aww thank you Terry" He got out of the car and opened your side door for you, he was being such a gentleman to you. For a boss, he treated you very well, a lot better than other bosses you've had in the past. "Thank you Terry" You say as you sit in the passenger's seat, it seems Terry is still looking at you in a really interesting kind of way, almost like he doesn't want to look away from you. "Are you alright Terry?" You ask him as he still holds onto your door. "Yeh yeh I'm fine....you do just look....you look beautiful Y/N" You were stunned, that was so sweet of him to say that.

"Your so sweet Terry" He gives you a calm and warm smile as he closes your door and drives you to the club. When you arrive, this club looked so lovely, and also very expensive. Thank goodness you had money to spend in hear, it looked like you were going to need it. There was a queue that's stretched across the street, this place was not only new, but very exclusive, you wondered how you'd get in. But when you and Terry got out of the car, Terry offered you his arm and once you took it, he lead you straight to the entrance. "Uhh Terry? What about the queue?" "Oh don't worry about that" Terry greeted the bouncer, and he let you both in straight away, before anyone else who was waiting. "Why did he let us in?" "I'm a VIP hear Y/N, so I can do that, and get the best drinks and seats in hear too. And so can you because your joining me tonight" "Wow, VIP....I've not been with a VIP before" "Well tonight that will change" Terry lead you through the club where there were lots of people dancing to the music on the dancefloor. Terry waved to John in the distance, who appeared to be sitting in a booth that was designated for all of us. And when we sat down, we had table service as well. John said "I'll have a negroni" Terry looked at you and said "What would you like Y/N?" "Could I have a raspberry daiquiri please?" The waiter nodded with a smile. "And I'll have an old fashioned, thank you"

The waiter left, and came back with your drinks a few minutes later. Your raspberry daiquiri tasted amazing. "Cheers guys! To a great night" John said raising his glass, you and Terry raised yours, clinged them together and began the lovely night in the new club. A few hours had passed, the drinks were flowing, the dancing was still going, and all 3 of you were having a great time together, it was like hanging out with friends instead of work colleagues or bosses. You weren't drunk or tipsy, just enjoying the evening with Terry and John, you even shared a dance with them on the dancefloor a few times too. Terry more than John, he seemed to love dancing with you, and the feeling was mutual, you did think he was very handsome and lovely after all. But he was one of your bosses, so those thoughts were pushed to the back of your mind whenever they came up. You shouldn't be thinking that about him, and there's no way it was reciprocated...was it? It was coming up to 1 in the morning, and John had seemed to find a lady to hang out with. He came up to you and Terry while you were dancing, he told you both "Hey you two! I'm going to head back to Maya's place. You guys gunna be alright?"

"Yeh we're good John, I'll look after Y/N. You uhh....enjoy yourselves..." Terry said with a cheeky wink. John just smirked and waved you both goodbye before he headed out of the club with a beautiful young woman with him. "John's got lucky tonight, good for him" "Yeh, he doesn't get lucky often. I bet he's going to have a great time with her...if you know what I mean?..." You giggle as he laughs, you know exactly what he means. "Are you thirsty Y/N?" "Yeh, I've had too much alcohol though. Just a diet coke or a water would be nice, I'm going to check the time on my phone at the table" "Alright, I'll be back with the drinks" You and Terry head in diffrent directions, and you get to the booth, taking out your phone to check the time. This was late for you, but you didn't feel too tired, a bit hot maybe. Your just checking to see if you got any texts when out of nowhere, someone grabs your shoulder, pulls you back and slams you against the wall. "Ow! Who the f#ck-" "I knew it was you! You little b#tch!" You can't believe it, but it's your ex boss Martin from the gym! What the hell does he want? And how dare he lay his hands on you and hurt you? "Get the hell away from me! That really hurt!" "Do I look like I care? Your stupid little friend Terry stole money from me!"

"Stole? He said he filed a lawsuit against you for unfair dismissal" "It's the same thing!" "It's your own fault, you shouldn't have been so rude, and you shouldn't have fired me. What you did was technically illegal, and Terry just followed the law and brought justice to where it needed to be" "I don't care about the law! I care about MY money! Your going to transfer all that money back to me, or else!" He pushes you against the wall, pushing your shoulders harder, and hurting you more. "Get off me!" "I'm warning you! If you don't give me back my money, I'm going to-" He's suddenly stopped by a large hand behind him, grabbing him by the collar and throwing him away from you, it was Terry. He checked you first "Are you ok? Did he hurt you?" "I'm ok, he was threatening me. Trying to force me to give the money back" Terry rested his hand against your cheek, it was so warm and soft. "I'll take care of this, ok?" Terry turns back to your ex boss, keeping him against the wall. Terry was at least 6ft 3, your ex boss was 5 ft 8 at most.

"What the f#ck makes you think you can lay your hands on Y/N?" "She's got my money! That YOU helped her take!" "I filed the lawsuit, I made you see how much of a b#stard you are, that is not her fault! You think you can just waltz in hear and assult her?!" "I'f that's what it takes! Stupid b#tch deserves a good punch to the face!" Terry wasn't going to allow him to speak to you like that, one quick strike, and Terry has punched him in the stomach, making him fall to his knees. "Y/N, stay hear. I'm going to remove this piece of sh#t" "But Terry-" Before you could say anything, Terry grabbed him and began leading him outside. You couldn't let Terry get hurt, you knew Terry had skills in karate, but neither of us knew if your ex boss new how to fight. You ran outside to try and stop this, but when you got out, you didn't see where Terry went. That was until you hear fighting behind the club, you run as quick as you can to see Terry beating him up. "You son of a b#tch! You stay away from her!" Terry shouts as he kicks him in the groin. He falls to his knees, groaning in pain, but he looks up at Terry with a smirk. "I want my money back!" "Well though sh#t! It's not yours anymore!" You can't take this. "Terry!" You shout as you run over. "Terry please stop!" "Y/N! I told you to stay inside" "Terry, please just leave him, he's not worth it" You instinctively take Terry's hand, anything to help him calm down right now. He looked like an angry bull. His eyes soften when he looks at you, and he gives your hand a gentle squeeze. But it seems that your ex boss wasn't going to give up. He's as quick as a bullet when he leaps up, grabs your arm and pulls you closer to him. But before he can hit you, Terry intervenes, pulls you safely behind him and grabs your ex boss, leading him away from you.

"DON'T YOU DARE F#CKING TOUCH HER!!" You have never seen Terry this angry, he punches your ex boss right in the face, then his throat, winding him. Then a kick to the legs, and one last kick to the face, knocking him out cold as he falls to the floor. But Terry wasn't going to finish him off, his main priority was you, and he was with you within seconds, looking so worried and checking your arms and face for any injuries. "Are you ok? Where did he hurt you?" He asks in a panicked voice. "I'm ok Terry" "B#llsh#t, he grabbed you. Where is-" That's where he sees the hand mark on your arm, red and it looked sore. The adrenaline was flowing through you, so you didn't even realise he did hurt you. "That mother f#cker!" "Terry! Terry look at me! I'm alright. It's not that bad, and I think he's in a worse position than me. It's probably just going to be a bruise, that's all. I'm ok" Terry was still on edge, but knowing that your ex boss was unconscious, and you were not very badly hurt, did slightly ease him. "I am so sorry he did that, I should have stopped him sooner" "You didn't know he was going to be there Terry, you did help me, it's alright now" Terry gently held your arm in both his strong hands, and he very sweetly kissed the area where you were hurt.

"Do you need anything?" "I think I just want to go home now" "I don't blame you. Let's get your things and I'll drive you back, it's quite late anyway" You both grabbed your things and Terry drove you back home, the tiredness was starting to set in now, and whilst you were in the car, you could now feel where he grabbed you. It had indeed turned into a bruise, but you were trying to hide that it hurt, you didn't want to worry Terry anymore. When he pulled up outside your house, you offered him a drink before he went home, and he said yes. You didn't think he actualy wanted one, but you could tell from the look in his eyes that he was still worried about you. So if he at least saw you safe in your home, that might ease his worry. You let him in and you both walked to the kitchen, where you say "What can I get you to drink Terry? I've got some-" "Ice?" "Huh?" "Do you have some ice?" "Uh yes, I'll just grab some" You take your ice cube tray out of the freezer, and that's where you turn back to see Terry with a tea towel. "Thanks Y/N. Now, let's get this on your arm" he says as he puts some ice cubes in the tea towel. "Oh Terry that really isn't necessary" "I wasn't asking Y/N" He sounded firm, but he was still kind about it, he was just worried about you that's all.

You smile and he gently holds you arm with one of his hands, and the other carefully places the ice on the red areas. "How long has it been hurting?" "It's not hurting" Terry just raises his eyebrow at you. "Alright, fine. Just since the car ride" "Why didn't you tell me in the car" "Because I didn't want to worry you Terry" "You got assulted tonight Y/N, the whole situation has worried me" You look down a little embarrassed, you didn't like that this whole night was ruined because of you. Terry could see that in your eyes, and his hand reached down to lift your chin, looking you deep in the eye. His gorgeous blue eyes are sparkling, it's so hard to look away from him, not that you wanted too. "Nothing that happened tonight was your fault Y/N....he was in the wrong, and he got what he deserved" "He deserved being beaten up?" "Anyone who puts their hands in a woman like that....deserves no mercy.....I promise I will not let anyone do that again" "You can't promise that....I'm not your burden" "..........I will not let anything happen to you.........." Your cheeks burned, your heart fluttered and the tention between you both was electric. His eyes lingered on your lips, and yours his. His lips looked so soft, so inviting.....you simply couldn't resist.

You lean in and press your lips to his, and he kissed you back just as needily. He was an incredible kisser, so passionate, so perfect, like his lips were made for you. His hands slowly moved down your body, feeling your curves and moving himself even closer to you as the kiss deepened ever second. There was no turning back now, you needed to feel him, touch him! Your hands pulled at his shirt and you pulled it off over his head, revealing his incredibly muscular chest. He had this little bunch of chest hair inbetween his biceps, ooooh it was like icing on the cake. Pulling him in by his neck, you start kissing him again, and he simply cant keep his hands off you.

His hands move down to your hips, right before he grabbed onto them and lifted you up like you weighed nothing. Legs wrapping around his waist, and not breaking the kiss, he leads you over to your bedroom and lies you down onto your bed. Your legs don't let him go though, that's where you wanted him. He kisses down your neck, collar bone and chest, gently biting at your shirt to pull it down, revealing your breasts. He cups both of them, giving each one plenty of attention with his magical tongue, sucking and swirling each nipple to make your back arch in his touch. Your moans just spur him on, and he looks desperate to kiss every inch of you, which you were more than happy to let him. He really took his time, removing each article of your clothing while leaving a trail of kisses in his wake.

He finaly reached your underwear, which he decided to remove with his teeth while making a low growl...holy sh#t that was such a turn on! Taking your leg over his shoulder, he leaves open mouth kisses and runs his tongue down the inside of your warm thigh.....slowly making his way inbetween your legs. A gasp escapes you when his tounge starts making little circles in just the right place, he definitely knows what he's doing. He is gentle at first, letting you get used to him....but then his speed gathers....and he adds a finger....then another....And before you know it, your hands feel like they are about to rip the bedding, and a groaning scream bursts out of you like a firey blase! Your lungs feel like their practically burning when your orgasm rips through you, your shaking uncontrollably, no man had made you feel like this! Let alone through full sex! He had only used his mouth and hand! You were desperate for more! You close your eyes and catch your breath, as Terry slides his way up from inbetween your legs and lies right on top of you, resting comfortably inbetween your legs. His mouth finds yours again in a desperate embrace, he is hungry for you, desperate for you, and he was going to show it in any way he can. Pulling one of your thighs up around his hips, he slides himself in, despite his reather girthy size. He was definitely the biggest you had ever had, and holy sh#t it felt amazing!

Back and forth, back and forth, he grinds his hips against yours, making you feel every inch of him. He was only in for a few seconds and you already felt like you were close, but Terry wanted to take his time with you. He'd go at just the right speed to make every second build and build with deep s#xual pleasure, it was like sleeping with a god! His hands held you close, he kissed and sucked at your neck when your hand ran through his beautiful brown locks. Even holding onto his magnificent lions mane as his pace quickens, hardens, bringing you closer....and closer to that sweet, sweet release. He was close...and so were you, you could tell he was trying to make it so you'd both c#m and the same time. Giving you one last breathless kiss, he leans up and thrusts deep! And hard! And your legs buckle around him, your screams feel like they could make the walls vibrate! Even leaving scratch marks on his arms and back from the intensity of that whole moment. His moans are making you feel even more turned on, and your both in pure bliss from that whole experience. Breathless and smiling at eachother, he leans down and kisses you sweetly, my god he was just so f#cking amazing!

You were both exhausted from the hours of s#x, that once you both had finaly c#m together, you both fell asleep in eachothers arms in your bed. The next morning, you wake up in your bed when the sunlight shines in through the window. Your a little dased, not remembering how you got to bed last night. You remember the club, dancing with John and Terry, the fight with your boss and then Terry bringing you ho-........Ohhhh......It's then that it comes back to you, and sitting up in your bed, you slowly turn, to see a naked Terry asleep next to you in your bed. With his lower body covered with the quilt, but his chest is on full show. Your cheeks are burning again, you remember....everything! You simply can't help it, you do a little celebratory quiet scream and cover your face with excitement! You actualy managed to land a guy like Terry! You landed Terry! Ooooh this was amazing! You can see him start to stir, so you quickly and quietly lie back down and face away from him, in hopes he will think your still alseep. He fell for it, but you weren't expecting what he was about to do. Half asleep, Terry looks over at you, then reaches over and cuddles up to you, holding you in his strong arms and holds you against his chest like the big spoon!

And if that wasn't enough, he kissed your neck before he snuggled back into you and fell back asleep! He was sleeping soundly, but you were lying there in pure happiness and excitement! You slumped into his embrace and he just held you closer, this was amazing and you were so relaxed. Sleeping with Terry was one of the best nights of your life! But this....this moment right now......nothing is ever going to top this...

Hey Yuly!! I just wanted to tell you how much I love your writing, it’s so deliciously soul destroying <3

If you don’t mind, do you have any tips on starting writing fanfiction? I really love writing but I have absolutely no clue where to start it’s painful 😭

Anyway ilysm ur an angst genius and I just wanted you to know it 💗💗

oh anon 🥹🥹you've made my entire day week with this ask thank you so very much for your kind words and support ❤️❤️

soul destroying 🫢hehe😈🤪

my advice for writing ??? as someone who started writing in Dec 20222???? i'm not sure i qualify to give any type of advice darling😭 but i will say this:

you said you love writing so start there!! don't be afraid!!! if you feel like writing something GO FOR IT, it doesn't have to be novel, hell it doesn't even have to be a full paragraph, write down your idea, tell your story and see how you feel about it, my golden rule is as long as I like it and it makes ME happy reading it, then I’m good!! Literally just open up google docs, or your notes app, whatever, take a breath and type away!!! flood the page with our ideas and then start organizing it a bit etc, don’t put too much pressure on yourself because thats when you lose train of thought and lovely ideas float way, forget about posting and what the reader will think, for now just put your energy into story telling :)

don't worry too much about grammar and schematics in the early stages, just get your idea out, tell your story! In my first few stories I was very insecure about the fact that my tenses were all over the place, I obsessed over it wayyyyy too much (I still struggle with it ngl), we aren't writing legal documents here, cut yourself some slack!! also, english isn't everyone's first language! I use free grammarly its very helpful, I am terrible at spelling etc.

at the same time, be honest with yourself, yes you are a brand new writer and there is lots of room to improve so if and when you receive some feedback, take it!! don't see it as an attack or a reason to not write anymore, incorporate it to the best of your abilities and keep trying!!

be yourself!!! I cannot emphasis this enough, you may not be aware of it yet but you have a certain niche that is going to hit juuuust right for your reader! i've started using tumblr and reading fanfic again since nov2022 and i have come across a wide variety of writing styles, some i personally enjoy more than others (and that's ok!) but there are so many insanely talented writers in this little fandom alone it blows my mind, and each of them has their own unique writing style and a different way to tell a beautiful story, and we appreciate them all!! there is room for everyone <3

most importantly: don't let lack of engagement discourage you, this is easier said than done!! right before I posted child's play, I posted a small one shot titled A Two Way Street, it was different from my usual fluff and actually, it was my very first time writing angst! (a tiny amount lol) and I was so excited !!! I even wanted (and still do) to make a part 2 and had this whole idea planned out, but it sat around 10 likes for nearly two weeks, with no feedback or anything, it was crickets lol. It made me really sad and I started to second guess my idea and just the story overall, I even thought am I writing too much too fast for someone who just started?? Maybe I should take a break. When I got the idea for childs play not long after that, I said fuck it ,I posted it with 0 expectations, I just genuinely liked my idea and telling the story, again, I had an idea for part 2 but this time I told myslef to not expect anything and just take whatever comes my way. The response to that story is still unreal to me, I'm so glad that I didn't let something so small discourage me from writing all together, truthfully some of the best stories I've read on here get way less recognition than I believe they deserve, but that does not take away from the writers talent or the story itself!!!

anyway, that was sooooo much rambling, I hope I was able to encourage you even a tiny bit, you are absolutely capable and worth the shot, don't be afraid, I’m no genius I'm just a regular girl and if I can do it, you absolutely can!!!❤️❤️

#yuly answers #writer things #writers and readers #i belive in you anon!!!

What are your favorite characters in all of your fandoms and why?

Oh boy, this is going to be LONG. So I'm putting it under a Keep Reading

And I'm writing this for my 900th post! Wow!

Total characters/fandoms - 34

OK K.O. - Dendy Ah, my little blorbo. Blorbo shaped frog girl. Dendy is a scientific based character who doesn't seem to get many things and the fact she wants to learn more and grows over the course of the show makes me love her SO MUCH. She has a great design and wish that she got more screentime in the later seasons compared to season 1, but... cancellation is a jerk.

Psychonauts - Lili Zanotto You've got a ten-year-old girl whose style is something I wanted and I would have LOVED to have Lili as a role model for me when I was little. This gothic plant lover who randomly picks up animals and threatens to set people on fire has a style that is SO on point. The little tsundere has powers that match her personality and even as she gets comparatively worse as the series goes on and the first impression I had of her I didn't like... I still love exploring the possibilities with her.

Amphibia - Anne Boonchuy Okay, you have someone who can remind me of my Middle School friend group and kind of heal it? You have someone who embraces the culture and food that she grew up with? You have someone who just has some love of where she goes but treats it in a VERY realistic sense of knowing nothing about the world? CHEF'S KISS. Not to mention, the abilities she has the the GROWTH she shows in the show. Showing her flaws and gaining new strength. The heartbreak she deals with her friends and their toxic traits being brought to light as she gets an actual good friend in Sprig. It's so great to see.

Pokemon - (modern) Sneasel This is mosly for design and the idea that Sneasel's Darkness set it apart from many of the Pokemon. A rarity that used to be brown with white feathers to deep green with red feathers. The sleek and speedy designs is one of the best from my "home region" of Pokemon.

Undertale - It honestly has changed a lot. Looking back on canon vs fanon, I'd have to say: Asgore. He's just a sweet old goat man who's lost so much in his life. He doesn't want war against humanity, he only wants what's best for his kingdom. And even then, he just hopes another human won't fall down into the underground and he can just tend to the flowers. Let the old goat man garden and let him be happy.

Deltarune - Even without ignoring the Undertale characters: Susie. Similar to Lili, Susie is a troubled character with not much known except the fact that journeying the dark world with Kris opened up her eyes and her heart. She's also a great character to get a laugh, such as with messing with Ralsei in Chapter 2 and being willing to make HER own choices. She also shows off the soft side of her heart with Lancer and Noelle and that's GREAT for her. Susie is a hero.

Sonic - Rouge the Bat Sonic X, THANK YOU for showing me this delightful little bat mercenary who worked for the government. She's a creature who I wish was shown off more in the modern Sonic media in a way where she was a true mercenary and wanting the gems for herself. Give me a plot where she gets the Chaos Emeralds. Give me Super/Hyper Rouge, SEGA. Do it, you cowards.

Warrior Cats - Hollyleaf As someone who VERY MUCH followed rules as a child, I love Hollyleaf and her whole debacle. She's a part of a family who's supposed to have power but only Her BROTHERS get it. She's a child born out of wedlock and thinks that breaking the Warrior Code means she's automatically doomed to destruction. As someone who grew up in a VERY religious town (not home, the home life was good for me) the feelings that Hollyleaf suffers from was VERY poignant to me. I also LOVE Tenelleflower's interpretation of Hollyleaf in "Rewriting The Power of Three." But even still, Hollyleaf!

Wings of Fire - Moonwatcher OH MY GOODNESS I LOVE THIS. So going from one person destined to have powers but received none, to one who was born with powers everyone thinks were LOST. Moonwatcher is such a skittish girl who is just trying her best throughout her book and she keeps seeing bad things happening and can't do anything about it. Nor can she say anything without the risk of losing those around her. A far cry from Hollyleaf but a beloved character in a mirror world to her. Unfortunately a victim of Tui T. Sutherland's first book syndrome. Where overtime her protagonists from Book 1 become more... one-note and less important.

Pucca - "" Yes, I know it's a show that contains sexual harassment. YES, I know the main character is the harasser. But the style of the show and the fandom comics that got me into the show have REALLY stuck with me. In the sense where I like fanon more, but still enjoy her antics in the show.

The Owl House - Luz Noceda Luz Noceda. Typical weird girl who loves fantasy and writes fanfiction. Hey, a character for ME! But really, Luz going from enamoured to the fantasy to realizing the reality of this world is SO GOOD. The fact she goes from following a prophecy to making her own claim in the world with the magic she knows is fantastic. I love her.

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic - Fluttershy One of the characters who has to constantly relearn the same lesson, but I love her nonetheless. A shy little pegasus mare who doesn't even like to fly. She loves her animals and overtime she befriends some of the wackiest characters in the show. And it's fun to see her slowly get more assertive and be willing to stand up for what she believes in.

Steven Universe - Amethyst It used to be Connie, but you know what? Baby Amethyst in the movie and rehearing what LITTLE songs she got, makes me think that I like Amethyst more. She goes from being an aunt to a cool older sister and she relates so well to Steven. She's the bridge he needs and helps him so much.

She-Ra - Entrapta Again, similar to Dendy, Entrapta is such a cool design and I love characters similar to her. Also her relationship with Hordak is something very very fun and I like how that created Wrong Hordak, too.

Miraculous Ladybug - Marinette Dupain-Cheng Do they make her memorize her love interest's schedule and insist they're meant to be? I mean yeah, but she's a teenager who's been bullied all of her life and when Adrien came he was like... the first male who was showing her kindness. That's a mood for me and my first love (Granted, I wasn't this obsessed). And also she's a baker, who is a very sweet and creative girl who tries her best and when she's hit with inspiration she goes OFF.

Ace Attorney - Phoenix Wright Call me a sucker, but Phoenix Wright in the Ace Attorney series is a great man. He's a bit of a bumbling oaf with a big heart and I love his different story beats. Like why he wanted to become a lawyer, losing his loved ones, facing impossible odds and embracing the idea of truth over money. Love this goofball.

Infinity Train - Lake Lake's entire identity crisis of being a person is something filled with existential dread and death. This protagonist murdered someone, a COP, and was still in the right. She's got a heart and she knows it and she's ready to show the world.

Camp Camp - David Saying this as a camp counselor: Yeah, I'm biased. David is SUCH a good and relatable character to me. I got into Camp Camp when my camp had a lot of older campers who didn't care about the camp experience. I poured my heart and soul just like David did! And that's something that I loved! David is a ball of sunshine who keeps getting hurt cause he's the butt monkey of the show, but dang if Season 1 Finale didn't have the best David line!

Hero: 108 - Alpha Girl Does she have 0 backstory? Yeah... but there wasn't consistency with serialized cartoons and Hero: 108 was based on ancient Chinese literature which... looking at things like "Journey to the West" actually is supposed to be more episodic. Anyways, Alpha Girl being the hero of the Second Squad deserved more credit both inside and out of the show. A big brute who was willing to throw down and take what she deserved.

Kingdom Hearts - Roxas Roxas is one of the most complex characters in one of the most complex series. Why do I love him? He goes from an emotionless husk being controlled by the Big Bad Evil Guy, to a boy who

Star Vs. The Forces of Evil - Janna One of the best characters all the way through. Consistantly likeable and honestly if anyone were to have been affected by Eclipsa's chapter, I would have loved to have seen her. She was a side character who helped the scenes she was in and got one of the best ending lines for any characters.

Golden Sun: Dark Dawn - Sveta BEAST MEN BEAST MEN BEAST MEN. Yeah... I may be a furry. You give me a mid-late game ally who is a wolf/fox/whatever who can literally go BEAST MODE on an enemy? I'm gonna love 'em! Sveta is one of my favorite characters in the Golden Sun: Dark Dawn games for her tragedy. She loses her brother and has to rule the land without him. She's... she comes in last so her character arc isn't that great but she's a tragic werewolf and I love her.

Code: Lyoko - Odd Della Robbia Of all the characters I love, Odd is one of the most expected. He's a playful guy who is a bit of a player and machine/music nerd with weird hair. But also he's the best character in the video games. DS Code: Lyoko made Odd SO broken. Get full defense upgrade, hold down B, and MASH A. Nothing will damage you except Hornets.

Kim Possible - Ron Stoppable I'm partial to love interests. ESPECIALLY this one. Who didn't start out as a love interest but had GREAT chemistry for the friends to dating. He's also a great comedy character and so so so sweet. He's a reluctant big brother who soon grows to LOVE his baby sister and he is the one who saves the world in the finale with "mystical monkey powers." Great Guy.

Digimon - Takato Digimon Tamers is the best Digimon series. And Takato is one of the most realistic characters in a series that thrives on the characters telling the story. Takato cares for the digimon he created and is also terrified. This series and Takato is where Digital Monsters really lives up to its name.

Secret Saturdays - Zon Saturday She's a dinosaur and I love her noises.

American Dragon - Fu Dog I haven't watched American Dragon in a long time. But Fu Dog has some great lines.

Adventure Time - Flame Princess Flame Princess was the character I really loved. A character who was seen as evil for powers she couldn't control. Put into one box that she was able to break out of. She got a sweet friend in Cinnamon Bun and she absolutely did well for the kingdom, despite the fact of the brutalness she faced from the Candy Kingdom and the Elementals series.

Kill la Kill - Mako Mankanshoku My first "proper" anime. Mako Mankanshoku was hilarious and fantastic through the short series run. I loved her use in the series and that weird spotlight she'd always get when she was pumping up her sister in arms. Everyone deserves a Mako in their life.

Hey Arnold! - Helga Pataki Oh boy, what a shocker. But really, Helga goes through so much that she really doesn't deserve. And because of that her expression of affection has been twisted. The deuteragonist mean girl love interest has really caught my eye. ... Not sure what that says about me.

Invader Zim - Gaz Membrane Gamer girl who is done with everything. She doesn't care if Zim's an alien or not, or if Dib is obsessed with being right. She exists in her own world and people accept that.

Yu-Gi-Oh! - Seto Kaiba He's so pathetic. It's hilarious. He wants to beat an ancient spirit in a children's card game. He makes his little brother into the "Damsel in Distress" trope, but for boys even in a video game. This boy is just fantastic. Hilarious.

Gravity Falls - Stanley Pines Stanley Pines... Mr. Mystery himself. Always second place to his brother... BUT NOT IN MY EYES. I LOVE STANLEY PINES (even if I go by "Sixer"). Stanley Pines deserves the world and is a fun caretaker for both Soos Ramirez and Dipper and Mabel Pines. And his story is delightfully tragic. Love them so much!

Danny Phantom - Desire She is my favorite villain. Manipulating wishes is my jam.

SERIES: CHAPTER 2 | CHAPTER 4

Song for this chapter: Home - Edith Whiskers

*** THERE ARE ERRORS and I still have class! I’ll try to edit this chapter later. :)

Jungkook had been calling you nonstop since last, last week, unfortunately there wasn't any response from you.

It wasn't like there was an emergency. Your best friend just missed you so much that he felt like he couldn't breathe.

"Jungkook! You need to wear this blue tie!" Especially now that Soojin was always by his side.

He was the type of person who needed a lot of time and space alone because he was a shy and soft boy at heart. However he had limits too. Jungkook got cranky when he was being forced to do things he didn't like.

"I bought this for you. Just wear it already!" Soojin pulled Jungkook's sleeve, forcing him to wear the blue tie to match her blue gown.

Jungkook groaned, crossing his arms. He was really, really starting to get annoyed.

He hated ties, be it a bowtie, bolo tie, or skinny necktie. It didn't matter what kind because he fucking hated all of them.

He felt like he was being strangled, restricted—like he had no freedom to do what he wanted.

Ties were suffocating.

Soojin was suffocating.

Jungkook suddenly regretted agreeing to be her date for tonight. He didn't realize that Soojin would be so...concerned about what they would look like on the red carpet.

Castle Architectural Firm was throwing a party to celebrate the construction of the luxury spa, mainly because this was the biggest project of the company for this year.

Aside from this, Taemin wanted to invite prospective clients, shareholders, and some architects who were interested to work for him. He was basically hitting two birds with one stone.

Three birds actually. This party was also for the employees, a simple way to show them that the company appreciated their efforts to help the firm grow.

You were invited too, and the first thing that came into your mind was to ask Jungkook to be your date. It had always been like that between the two of you, sadly you received a text message from your sister.

[7:52pm] Kim Soojin: you gonna attend the company's party?

[7:52pm] you: yeah i guess so..

[7:55pm] Kim Soojin: well don't tell that to JK. he might ask you to be his date. that CANT happen coz i wanna go with him.

[7:56pm] Kim Soojin: i'm also gonna confess to him so don't ruin this for me ok???

[7:56pm] Kim Soojin: i'll tell you when it's okay for u to talk to him again.

For some reason, you felt your heart sinking. You didn't have a choice but to tell her a lie.

[7:58pm] You: it's cool! i already have a date anyway.

[7:58pm] Kim Soojin: i'll tell JK that! see you at the party! love you sis 😘

You lied. You didn't have a date and you doubted that you could find one. The party was happening tomorrow night. You couldn't find a date in less than twenty four hours.

Perhaps it was better to go alone.

That was the plan: to go alone; however, the heavy feeling weighing you down was too much to bear.

You didn't want to be alone, so you called Yoongi.

If you were the type of sister who couldn't say no to Soojin, Min Yoongi, on the other hand, was the type of friend who couldn't say no to you.

"You know it's your fault I'm not getting dicked down tonight, right?" Yoongi sounded annoyed, but you knew deep down he was pleased that you chose him to be your plus one tonight.

Okay, fine—this was a lie.

Yoongi wasn't exactly thrilled when you told him to prepare his three piece suit since you wanted him to pick you up four hours ago.

Because of you, he had to cancel his first date with some grindr dude he had been gushing over since last week.

You wanted to say "come on! He'll give you another chance if he really likes you." But you couldn't because life was not a fairytale and people who used grindr were mostly looking for a quick fuck, not a serious relationship.

"Sorry, Yoongs," you heaved a deep sigh, feeling guilty. "I'm just scared to be alone," was what you said, explaining that you needed him because if he was by your side all throughout the party, the guests wouldn't have the chance to show you their fake sympathies.

The last thing you needed was for people to remind you that you fucked up, that you failed because you were not as smart or as strong as Soojin.

Yoongi felt like his heart was being cracked open because of your confession. It wasn't your intention to hurt him—you swore you weren't manipulating him through using your greatest fear.

It just so happened that Yoongi knew exactly how you felt. He understood it because he used to be like you.

He used to be scared with the thought of being surrounded by people and realizing that he was still alone.

Because those people didn't come to see him or to be with him.

They were there for someone else.

As it turned out, Yoongi was at this party for someone else too.

It wasn't intentional. You guessed the world where you lived was simply small.

'V' was the name of Yoongi's grindr date. Tonight you found out that Kim Taehyung, your older brother, was also known as V.

You weren't really close with Taehyung, mainly because it had only been less than three months since you met him. As mentioned, he spent his whole life abroad.

Taehyung didn't even know you existed until five years ago. Sin-ae didn't want anyone to know that her husband cheated on her and so she told Taemin that you could only live with them under the condition that you would keep your mouth shut about your real relationship with the Kims.

But in the end, your siblings found out. Taehyung was the last one to know because according to Sin-ae, her third born son was sensitive. She didn't want him to worry about someone like you.

You weren't a threat. In the eyes of the public, you were just an orphan—one of the charity cases of the Kims.

Everyone in their family treated you like you didn't exist. Namjoon and Seokjin barely looked at you.

They even leave the room if you were around.

But Soojin wasn't like her siblings. She treated you like her sister. She talked to you, ate with you, and sometimes played dolls with you.

She wasn't always nice, but it felt good to be acknowledged, to be called as her sister—to make you feel like you belonged to their family.

You wanted Taehyung to treat you the same way Soojin treated you. Perhaps he could like you if you proved to him that you could be trusted.

Taehyung hadn't told his family that he was gay. This was the main reason why he stayed in New York for so long. He was afraid to be himself because he knew that his family wasn't gonna approve with this.

They wanted him to find a beautiful wife and to manage their other businesses. The Kims didn't only focus on architecture. Their family also tried their luck in industries like engineering and painting. As a matter of fact, Sin-ae recently opened her own museum. Taehyung was currently working there as a curator.

He would probably be focusing on that museum because his other siblings were taking different paths. Soojin was the sole heir of Castle Architectural Firm. Seokjin and Namjoon waived their rights as heirs in the mentioned company since Taemin already funded their engineering firms.

"You sure you're gonna be fine here?" Yoongi asked, hesitant to leave you alone while he spent time with your brother.

"Of course. Go, Yoongi. You've done enough," assured by you.

The party was almost over anyway. You were sure no one was going to bother you anymore. You had also done your part as an employee. You attended, ate, and drank wine.

Maybe it was best to go home. It was getting late and you felt cold. You didn't bring a shawl.

You trembled, thinking that it was because of the cold. Little did you know, Jungkook's dark gaze was sending shivers down your spine.

Of course he saw you. He had been watching you ever since you stepped inside this ballroom.

He was a little upset with you actually. How could you stand there looking so beautiful without even glancing at him?

Did you forget about him? Didn't you want to be his best friend anymore? Why didn't you reply to his text messages? Why did you bring Yoongi? And why were you letting Yoongi leave you alone?

Who was going to take you home?

Me.

It was like something in Jungkook snapped. The little voice inside his head was right. He should be the one to take you home tonight. He wouldn't allow you to drive because he saw you drinking wine. He wasn't comfortable with you taking an uber. He trusted Yoongi to bring you home, but he was nowhere to be found now.

He needed to step in. Yes. Yep. This was the right thing to do.

Jungkook was about to go near you, but Soojin caught his arm.

"Jungkook, I'm cold..." Soojin embraced herself, lips trembling.

"Oh. Here," he didn't hesitate to give her his jacket. Jungkook was sweet and caring. He would always give what he could.

"Thanks..." Soojin blushed, batting her eyelashes at him. "Can you take me home now? I'm tired..."

It was wrong to say that he never hesitated because right now, he was. He wanted to drive Soojin home, but...

Jungkook turned to look at the place where you were standing a few breaths ago. You weren't there anymore. He missed the way you stared at him as he handed his jacket to Soojin.

He couldn't miss anything from you anymore, so even if it physically hurt him to lie, he bit his tongue hard and then he told Soojin that he couldn't bring her back to the mansion.

"Why not? I'm your date, Jungkook!" Soojin's demeanor instantly changed.

She was no longer batting her eyelashes. She was glaring at Jungkook, too annoyed to say more.

"I know...but I promised to drink with Mr. Wang tonight. You know how much your father wants him to invest in Castle..." More lies.

It worked. Soojin couldn't protest. He was right. Mr. Wang was an important person and Jungkook couldn't turn him down. It was so hard to convince that old man to attend this party. This was probably the only chance Jungkook had to convince Mr. Wang to become an investor.

"Fine. But I want you to escort me to my car. I still need to tell you something." She didn't wait for his response, already walking away.

Jungkook sighed as he followed her, but not before looking back to where you were.

It didn't change the fact that you were gone.

"What did you want to talk about?" Jungkook arched his brow after handing the ticket to the valet worker.

Soojin inhaled deeply, suddenly regretting her decision to do this sober. She should have at least drank wine to calm her poor nerves.

But she wanted to be strong. She didn't want Jungkook to think that she was pouring her heart out just because she was drunk.

She wanted to do this right.

So heaving a deep sigh once again, Soojin stared at his face.

"I like you, Jungkook..."

She tried.

She really did try to be as genuine as possible. Her voice was soft, yet strong. She had been practicing saying these words for so long.

It should feel good, right?

But...why was her stomach turning upside down? Why was Jungkook's expression so thoughtful? Too fucking thoughtful that she could feel his rejection in her mouth.

No. This couldn't be right. Maybe he misunderstood?

"I-I mean it...I like you. I like you so much and it's not in a friendly or brotherly way. I like you as a man, JK..."

It didn't make anything better. Jungkook's eyes were still dead. He was still looking at her the way he looked at everyone—the same boy who was respectful, sweet, but determined.

"Soojin..." Jungkook licked his lower lip and then he bit it. Heartbreak was written all over his face.

Soojin could feel it.

She could feel her heart breaking into a thousand pieces.

"I don't like you like—"

"Just think about it!" Soojin cut him off before he could finish his response.

"But I...." Jungkook tried to say something again, however he trailed off.

His face softened. Soojin was looking at him using those desperate eyes. Besides, it wasn't like he could freely speak his mind.

Soojin cut him off again before he could say more.

"Monday." Her jaw tensed. "You have until Monday to decide. I'm giving you this weekend to think, huh, JK? Please..."

"Okay." Jungkook agreed because he didn't know what else to say.

It was a good thing that the valet worker arrived, saving them from the awkward atmosphere.

The uncomfortable air didn't deter Jungkook from examining Soojin's car, looking for any damage. He didn't like Soojin the way she wanted to, but it didn't mean that he wanted her to get into an accident or something.

"You didn't drink, right? Call me when you get home, okay?"

Soojin nodded.

"Thanks, JK. See you soon..." She kissed him on the cheek before getting into her car and driving away.

When he couldn’t spot her car anymore, Jungkook finally let out a sigh.

"Excuse me? Where do guests wait while waiting for their ride?" Jungkook asked the same valet worker. The latter was happy to assist, telling him that guests who didn't bring their cars were waiting for a cab or uber at the second entrance.

Jungkook rushed towards that direction, hoping to see you.

He saw you.

He saw you standing there, still shivering because of the freezing wind.

Jungkook frowned. You were wearing an open-back gown, exposing your skin generously. There was no doubt that he loved you in this dress (you looked ravishing) but then he didn't like that you were trembling.

And so he hugged you from behind.

You yelped, struggling to get away from him.

"Ow!" Jungkook shrieked when you managed to kick his leg. "Calm down, tiger. It's just me. Damn!"

You immediately stopped moving when you heard your best friend's voice. Three seconds later, you were pushing him away again.

You succeeded since he didn't expect you to struggle once more.

"Jungkook. What the hell? It's not cool to scare me like that!" You were still shivering but this time it wasn't because you were cold.

Your heart was beating erratically because of fear. Jungkook really scared the shit out of you.

"Sorry. I just noticed you're cold and I didn't want you to get sick..."

"I won't get sick because I'll die of a heart attack. Seriously, Kook. Don't sneak up on me like that again!"

Jungkook pouted. This boy really pouted his lips, sulking!

He knew he was wrong, this was why he was acting all cute. He even attempted to embrace you again just to prove how sorry he was.

You put a hand on his chest though, stopping him.

"I'm fine. Promise..."

It didn't reassure him. His lips just protruded more.

"The hug isn't for you. It's for me," he wrapped his arms around your waist, pulling you closer. "I miss you, tiger..."

Your heart melted because of the softness and sadness apparent in his voice. Tears welled up in your eyes.

"Miss you too, bud..." You tapped his back, an attempt to comfort him.

Jungkook only groaned. He acted more like a baby when you make him feel as if it was right for him to act the way he was acting now.

"You're lying. Why didn't you answer my texts and calls if you really missed me?"

It was easier to lie when you weren't looking at his eyes. Jungkook knew this so he broke the embrace, staring at you.

You refused to meet his gaze.

"I'm busy with work, Kook."

You expected him to understand, regrettably he only hissed, rolling his eyes.

"Yeah right. I visited you in the office. Fran said you're out with your friends." Jungkook sounded bitter. It wasn't like he hated that you're spending time with other people but not with him.

He wasn't asking much. He just wanted you to tell him you're okay, or that he didn't do anything wrong. He wanted your assurance because frankly, this was the first time you spent two weeks without talking to him.

What did he even do to deserve this?

"Y-You visited the office?" Was all you could say. You didn't know that. You thought he was busy at the construction site. Soojin too. Both of them hadn't been back in the office ever since the construction began.

Your sister even told you that she and Jungkook were staying at a hotel near the site. They couldn't go home since they were busy reviewing the progress of their project.

"Don't be surprised. You know I can't go a day without seeing you."

If he's trying to melt your heart, you wanted to congratulate him because he succeeded.

"It's why I'm here right now, you know?"

You didn't. "I didn't...." You said.

He scoffed.

"Because I want to see you, dumbass." He ruffled your hair. "Come on. I'll drive you home."

You didn't move.

"I'm waiting for my uber, Kook..." It was too late to cancel now. It took you long to book this ride since no driver wanted to go to this place. The security was at a high level. It was a pain in the ass to get past the gate.

"Besides, aren't you supposed to be with Soojin?” You panicked for a second. “Who's bringing her home?"

Shit. You forgot that you weren't allowed to talk to him. Your sister would be pissed!

"Soojin already left. I told her I can't drive her since I have to meet a very important person..." He was staring into your soul.

"Mr. Wang?" You asked only because you saw him talking to the old man a while ago.

"Nah," he grinned. "It's you..."

"Oh." You weren't sure what to say.

He ditched Soojin because he wanted to see you. It was cool. Awesome. Heartwarming even. But what were you supposed to say? Thank you? Fuck you?

Fuck you because Soojin would definitely hate me once she found out that I was meeting you behind her back?

You hadn't had the chance to think of how to respond when Jungkook spoke again.

"Soojin confessed to me tonight..."

There was a lump in your throat, still you managed to say "nice. What did you tell her?"

It was difficult to act happy when your heart was breaking. Fuck. Why were you feeling this way? It wasn't like you didn't know that this was happening.

"Nothing much." He chuckled.

He fucking chuckled like he was fucking happy.

You hated it.

You hated it because you didn't have the right to feel the way you did.

You wanted the ugly, green monster to leave you alone.

"She didn't really give me a chance to speak." He shrugged. "She only told me to think about it. I have an ultimatum though..." He laughed again and it irked you more.

"I have until Monday to decide..."

He stopped speaking after that. You didn't say anything for a while too.

You let silence engulf you.

Seconds later, you found the courage to speak.

"Do it." You said bravely.

Jungkook creased his forehead, silently asking you to do what?

"Date her." You swallowed thickly, avoiding the pain dancing in his eyes.

"You should date her, Kook. She's nice, pretty, s-smart..." She was whole too. She could love you, she could fill the hole in your heart.

I couldn't.

Because I was broken.

"What?" The laugh he let out wasn't like the other ones. He sounded sad, like he couldn't believe what he was hearing, like it was breaking him.

"You want me to date your sister?" He repeated, making sure that he heard you right.

It was hard to nod your head and smile.

"Yes." But you did anyway.

Silence welcomed you two once again.

The wind blew harshly. It became unbelievably cold. The defeating silence didn't help.

You wanted to curl up and die.

"Will it make you happy?"

You turned to look at him. To really look at him.

You didn't know what he was talking about. He could see it in your face. He knew you were confused.

"If I date your sister—" He spoke again. "Will that make you happy?"

You couldn't hesitate. Not now. Not when Soojin needed your support the most.

So you said what you didn't want to say.

"Yes..." And then your heart cracked.

(1) Hi, hun! I read your rantings about episode 35. If I may: I was also pretty disappointed on my boyfriend for what they did to Amber and I really hoped Candy would speak up. On the other hand, I don't necessairly think Amber's mother's suggestion is bad advice, for it's a way to build character, in some sort of view: do not be ashamed of your failures, but face them, so you can go strong and, everytime you falter, look at those and remember you've survived them!

Okay, so there are seven of these, wow. I’ve never gotten so many messages on this blog all at once before. I’m just going to copy and paste each of them, I hope you don’t mind.

I disagree that the whole Box of Shame thing is something as positive as you make it sound. I’ll give the mother the benefit of the doubt that she intended for it to make her daughter feel ashamed, but that’s obviously what Amber feels about that box; shame. If it was something she could be proud of, it wouldn’t bother her nearly as much if at all when Priya and Candy’s boyfriend threaten to use it against her. They even say that she’s ashamed of the rejected applications.

(2) Moving on… I do think Armin’s arrest is involved with the hacking and stuff and so Iris’ arc is not entirely over, but mingled with Armin’s. Remember when Priya came along? Many people went nuts: “after all we’ve been through, she’s the one who gets lucky!?” (I remember ChiNo receiving an angry ask for that) That was exactly what it was supposed to make you feel: “it should’ve been Candy, not Priya!”. Now, we’ve gone to “it should’ve been Charlotte, not Armin!”

Okay, I’m going to break this in two parts.

First, I’m not really convinced that what Armin was doing was really “hacking”. Sure, he got Iris’ login information for both her email and the dating app account by unspecified means that could be done without hacking, but for app searching itself, Armin said that the information they were looking at was available to the public, like who all is “friends” with who and their little snippets of information. The things he read between Iris and “Tim” were accessible through her account, but not “Sweet-Queen’s” information. But this is also from personal experience with hackers and not a fictional story. I guess it’s whatever the writers want it to be.

Secondly, I don’t think those two instances are comparable at all. Like, not even a little bit. Pryia had done nothing wrong and Candy was being ridiculous and paranoid over nothing. Here, Charlotte is committing a crime against a person and she’s hardly given a slap on the wrist. I wanted someone arrested, that person being the one blackmailing Iris. Instead it’s Armin for whatever reason.

(3) Also, regarding, Patrick and Candy being bullied… We’ve stood that since the very beginning of this game and not until recently people actually began taking that matter seriously. I believe that’s exactly because the game wasn’t supposed to take such topics up for discussion, in the start. Taking that into account, even though the new writers (post Sally Anne’s departure) have chosen to go that way, they can’t throw away everything the game has been building, so it needs to be consistent.(4) Therefore, Patrick suddenly taking action could make him look a little Gary-Stuish? I’m not sure how to put it! But I think they are trying not to make things settle so easily; otherwise, it would’ve gone that way from the beginning. I think now is the time to set things revolving bullying clear, since it’s Iris’ arc motif, in some sort of way.

Again, I disagree. I think bringing in Patrick can open many doors and solve pre-existing problems this game has had in the past. The other teachers have proven to be incompetent and blind to the things that happen in their school. Now we have Patrick who is more observant and more assertive. Fans have voiced how tired they are of Amber and wanting her to grow up. What a more perfect way to end it than to bring Patrick in and sort it all out? Amber doesn’t even have to get in trouble or pay for everything she’s done; she just has to stop and move on. What’s the point of bringing in a character like Patrick if they’re not going to use him in a way that would be beneficial to the story and the fans?

(5) I have faith in the writers, to sum it up. I do, because Candy herself stated what they two had done wasn’t OK in her views and related it directly to Iris’ case. So, I’m pretty sure the writers do understand that both things can be similarly categorized, regardless of the victim’s stigma.

I have less faith in the writers since, but I also don’t expect much from them to begin with. It makes it easier to be pleasantly surprised and impressed when they do good, and to not get such a hard hitting blow when they drop the ball. It’s just that this time they dropped it hard that even though I expect nothing, I’m still let down, and there weren’t enough good things in this episode to bring it back up for me this time around.

(6) What I mean with all this is: give the game another shot. Hold that feeling for the next episode to come, because I kind of think that’s how you’re also supposed to feel: some players may have enjoyed Amber being shut down, while others pitied her, that’s why Candy stood in-between, as I see it.I may be only being positive, but this episode has left many loose ends for me to give the game’s ways a verdict and I don’t think it’s preaching wrong values, despite the characters may be […](7) being somehow exercising those. Last, but not least, I’m sorry this is all chipped, but I’m really shy, although also really wanted you to read this, which I hope you do.

I’ve been playing since 2012, so one bad episode isn’t going to make me drop the whole game. If anything, it makes me appreciate more when the writing is good and the story is good. And I don’t want to feel bad for Amber, but the game has made me feel sick to my stomach because of what my friends are doing to her. I never wanted this feeling for this character, and I’m angry that the game has made me feel this way. I’m not looking forward to the next episode, but I’ll go in anyway kicking the ground the whole way until it gets better.

Thank for sending me this. It was quite a read and a good look at other opinions, though I can’t say any of mine were changed. You don’t need to be shy around me, I don’t bite, and I hope we can have more discussions in the future.
