ya theyre leaving at like 10 rn i am not going to that 6am swap meet. fuck my life ugh... like obv gonna be waken in the middle of the night when they get back ._. srsly can they be considerate of my life for fucking once. like knowing that i do this for work and is my only source of money and then to do something like that on a total whim and try to downplay how it will affect my sleep and morning tomorrow is srlsy making me so pissed.. like the amount of effort i and to an extent my sister will go to to be considerate of others just to have her do shit like this is so infuriating. like literally my job for a record store that needs inventory desperately and i cant fucking go cause of my asshole inconsiderate mom. reaaaaallly great. i mean best case scenario i can drive up to the estate sale tahts supposed to be at 8. id have to leave at liiiike idk 6:30. so probably not that too. should try to go to the other 8:00 swap meet too or the yard sale but starting to feel real uncomfortable abt going to the swap meet cause of all the stuff around that. so annoying for me to plan all this out just for her to shit all over it cause she wants an excuse to get drunk and trauma dump to her cousin and make to put her cousin in a super awkward weird position. sucha  genuinely awful person ugh.... i mean idk i should goo tomorrow but like really dont kno if ill be able to get up in time. idk i think ill still push rly hard ill try to get a coffee tomorrow at mcdonalds and stuf but like idk just so fucking annoyed rn like dude this is literally my job right now that A LOT of things are riding on have some fucking respect and learn when ur making things much more difficult for ppl. what annoys me so much is when i told her that i wouldnt be able to go tomorrow if she went out as late as shes planning to she just tried to go supportingly “ok we’re gonna go at 10 and tomorrow u can go wherever u want and dont worry about it :)” while just ignoring what i said. lol. something abt idk if all parents are like this or if most are but like that level of being so in denial abt everything that u just respond to any attempt at talking things out with this very fake positivity vibe is so awful. like she does it so much whenever something comes up thats a problem and its so annoying. she did it thursday too when i wasnt sure if i was gonna be able to go cause of my dads dog and she ignored what we said and cut us off and went dont worry ill handle it all :) even tho it was like not even clear what she would be “handling” cause she just wanted to get us to stop talking abt it.  like not even aware of how my dad lets the dog in without warning and how the cats and the dog need to be watched cause he’ll start playing rough. like idk what to even do when ppl genuinely just do not listen to anything u tell them at all. theres no reason for me to tell her something before hand cause she’ll just do whatever the fuck she originally intended to and then try to “discuss” it or apologize after even if youve already had a what u thought was productive conversation days before abt it. like on the first weekend i drove to the swap meet i had told her before i was gonna let the dogs in the back right i went to let her kno beforehand and she agreed there was no argument no even hint at there being a disagreement so i thought things were good and then when i actually was gonna leave she was like no dont let them out theyll bark its too early and i had to get my sister to get her to agree to let them out. like srlsy sooo annoying same thing happens A LOT when having to schedule things shell be in complete agreeance and then when the time comes to do smthn she will like bring up something out of nowhere that she def knew b4 hand  but was just waiting to bring up last second. like she’ll say we should schedule smthn for the vet on a day and then reveal that the vets actually closed that day when that day actually comes etc. or will lie and say it is. like i need to take the cats to the vet soon cause cassettes worms are still present and dendy needs to get neutered and she said she’d call monday even tho its smthn shes already been lagging on for a long time so im just like waiting to see what excuse she’ll bring up then or if she actually does intend to call. like she could bring up an excuse or just spend the whole day in her room and ignore it when i bring it up. ughhh well i will try to go tomorrow i think. i mean im gonna shave and shower just incase i do. i dont think ill wear shorts tho not rly feeling it atm since i could be nervous if i do go to the yard sale. but willl rly have to see

I don't know who did it to my book, they did it early in the morning before I came to class- I just came and saw "[name] in 7b threw your book across the room!" and then someone wrote "momo" on my math book with a pen correcter I think they hid my pe book or threw it away since thats the only book missing [i have a system and a way to store the books so i don't god damn lose them.] [[and the teacher got ME in trouble for losing it >:[[ ]] i told the teacher but she just noded :'] also tysm i hope they shit themselves too ^^ The worst part is i dont even know why, it's confusing as heck; i don't know what i did- [[FUCK SORRY IF THIS CAME OUT AS VENTY I DONT MEAN IT LIKE THAT !!]] if talking abt this makes u uncomfy plz tell me to stop
thats fucked up. Really
((also you guys have your books at school/ in lockers where it can be taken?? /Genq))
Also who tf is Momo.
I mean, sure, the math book is hated by everyone, but it didn't deserve the pen corrected.
[[damn I hate your teachers so much they are worse than mine and mine are already shit wth]]
Maybe they are just so unhappy with their lives and themselves, they just have to ruin yours. Or they're jealous or something. I heard that's a common cause for bullying. (My mom told me that, but maybe she just said that to make me feel better). I'm sure you didn't do anything wrong. Even if you did: they have to fucking tell you and not scribble on your book like little children that need attention because no one looks at them otherwise. Communication is key. So even if you did something wrong, it's not your fault. It's their job to tell if you did, because if no one tells you how are you supposed to correct the mistake??. If they don't like that, they better leave you alone. Or I'm gonna fly to Australia anyway and talk to them personally >:( fuck school anyways
[[and don't worry about it being 'venty'. I'm your personal emotional support and you can always tell me /gen <:]] ((also it's quite nice hearing anything else than my friend talking about her crush. I love my friend but talking about him 24/7 and this for 2 years already AND NOT A SINGLE DAY WITHOUT HER CRUSH is a bit annoying after a while :'D (we already talked about it tho dw)) what I'm trying to say is, you can always tell me if something troubles you <:]] it's important to get stuff of your mind, otherwise it's gonna destroy you from the inside (like emotionally).
I hope the bullies get what they deserve >:(

i woke up at fucking 3.30am and have been constantly waking up and falling back asleep since then. fucking horrible dreams. last one was that i got like 32,000 notes on a post where i was like just asking for people to wish me luck for something. i dont remember any of the other ones, and to be honest 6ts probably better that way...except i do remember snippets...and they were all horrible. one was where I was carrying like a toddler around, because they were too tired to walk. and like, it was just a random toddler. i was desperately trying to lose the kid, walking into like every store that had "girly" stuff, so maybe they would want to leave, but no. then I went to some tiny ass factory because i needed to find something. but the head guy there didnt like it when we ditched him while he was giving a tour, and he figured out what we were trying to do, so we had to run away. i ended up on like an equivalent of the corner of a map in a game set in a metropolis. I had someone elde with me and ms marvel found us and begun to try and drop us off the high roof. it was a fucking struggle, ms marvel tried to use her flexibility to throw us off, but we just took advantage of it and grabbed on to her.. but eventually it was over and ms marvel was in a ziplock bag, trying to get out. i was trying to squish her even more, to kill her. the other person switched to like a gun wielding character, and I wanted so bad to click triangle and change them into a more useful character, like hulk or something.. but alas, ms marvel would probably escape, since my character wouldnt keep squishing her if I wasnt controlling them. then she turned into that classic low-poly 3d Mario. he was tiny, and trying to escape the ziplock bag as well. I was trying so hard to crush him. i did eventually lose him, or I just killed him without noticing. he was really fucking tiny.
then switch to me going to the kitchen and telling my mom about this weird dream i had where i was desperately trying to crush mario. its still a dream to be clear. and then I was I think packing for like maybe a train ride. and it was really annoying how many bags i needed. then I realised that my school books are in my bag, and that I can leave them to have more space. then i really made a mess in the kitchen,, I dont know what precisely happened, but everything was covered in purble blobs, of something. i tried to clean it, but I didnt have the time, so I just went to change my shirt, that had also gotten dirty. i changed into a hoodie i do not have irl, because it was made of this fabric, that was the exact same as this pink blanket I do have irl, with like disney princesses on it. I kind of wish i did have that hoodie irl though...and yeah.. something about having to find dog figurines as well...last night was horrible.

Is it because I havent taken my meds in a few days or are my parents mother the worst?
Like. I know this is a small thing but I'm pretty sure its still fucked up. My mom kinda invites herself to come to my house all the time which, I get it because she babysits my sisters kids where their father is and I live with my sister very far from that so she brings the kids here to visit so like. I get that. But no one ever asks me, they just tell me when they'll be here. Not a huge deal but it is kinda annoying and I do hate having my mom in my house but it has to happen anyway.
Anyway so today I was planning on going out to a store with my dad because I havent seen him in months but he actually was able to come over this time, we talked about it but not much and then I went into my room because I'm socially and physically drained from this whole weekend and need a couple hours away from everyone if I want to be able to do everything, I did not tell them this was why though. So I get a text from my mother saying "we're going to get food soon" and thats all. I dont respond because I figure she's just letting me know they're going out, I'm a little upset I wasnt invited but they can do whatever they want. About 40 minutes later I walk out of my room and they're actively leaving and my mom says "do you want to come with us?" To which I dont know how to answer because the baby is already in the car and I know they need to leave now but I havent gotten ready yet because I wasnt invited. And I just say I dont know because I'm confused as to how she thinks I'm going to be able to get ready that soon. She just says that its fine if I dont and then says they're getting bagels and leaves. And like, she knows how much I specifically like bagels and have been looking for a bagel place and she finds one and goes specifically without me and then tells me she's going after knowing that I can't come? And I dont know if thats like, really fucked up or if I need to just take my meds

Fools pt.2
[Zuko x Reader]
<- previous next ->
Summary: Zuko and Y/N had liked eachother for a while even though neither of them knew it. Y/N tries to get over her crush for him, failing miserably. So just when she decides to let go and embrace her feelings, the new Fire lord finds himself feeling jealous and decides to take matters into his own hands.
A/N: I’m so happy you guys liked this cause I like it so much toooooo and I was worried my writting would mess the idea up but it ended up pretty good. This once again got a little long so it’s def gonna need a pt.3 but I’m gonna wait til someone requests it to write it.
Side note, I’m not a native speaker so if some of the grammar is wrong or something let me know <3
Warnings: Angst but it will end well i promise
Tumblr media
-IF YOU HAVE ANY REQUESTS DONT HESITATE TO ASK-
The sun had set on your way back to the palace. You couldn’t really remember when you’d fallen asleep, you tried to stay awake as long as you could but you’d spent the night before awake worrying about what would happen the next day. The weather became more forgiving as the night sky glimmered above you, you’d dare to say it even got a little chilly. What woke you up was a set of slender and calloused fingers putting strands of hair that had fallen to your face back into their place. Before opening your eyes you heard Zuko’s soft voice. “Hey... we’re almost at the palace.”
You finally opened your eyes and were shocked to see where you had fallen asleep. “Zuko...” you muttered in a raspy and still a little sleepy voice “why am I using you as my pillow?”
The Fire lord chuckled softly and you could closely hear the vibrations that sent through his chest as you were slightly laying on it. A faint blush ran through your cheeks as it had done many times that days.
“You fell asleep and then started chattering your teeth. It was pretty annoying honestly, so I sat over here to help warm you up.” Zuko explained as his fingers kept playing with your hair. His arm was around you and you were pretty much leaning on him fully. It was just then you realized how warm he was, one of the benefits of being a fire bender you guessed.
You faintly smiled looking back down and before you could say anything else the carriage stopped. The small door opened to show you the front view of the castle and that helped clear your memory. Aang and the others were here, that’s why you came back. You jumped out of Zuko’s grasp and out of the carriage to start walking fast to the entrance. As soon as the big doors opened you saw Katara’s face smiling expectantly. You didn’t wait more than a second to run into her arms and squeeze her into yours. Her laugh filled the room as the two of you almost fell from how hard you’d ran into her.
“Y/N, I’m loving this but I kinda can’t breathe” she muttered in a muffled voice.
You laughed and let go of her taking a look around you for the first time. The next one to receive your unforgiving hug was Sokka. You wrapped your arms around his neck and made him stumble a couple steps back before he wrapped his arms around your waist. “Someone’s happy to see us.” He expressed as he tightened the hug before letting go.
“Are you kidding? It’s felt like forever since I last saw you, and it’s actually been forever since we’ve all been here together.” You turned more to your left to give Suki her hug, feeling how she was the strongest and most stable one of the three. She was a strong hugger too so it was you this time who had to let go.
Finally you walked up to Aang being a little more forgiving with him, as you’d always felt like if you hugged him to tight he might break. When you were done you looked at all of them in surprise, barely even hearing Zuko’s steps behind you. “What are you guys doing here?” You asked
It was Katara who spoke first. “Well it’s almost been a year since the war ended” she turned to look to Zuko this time as he was greeting Aang and moving on to her. “Your uncle was the one to call us here, he’s organizing a commemoration gala and wanted us to surpise you.”
You moved your attention from Katara to Zuko and asked “You knew about this?” as you saw his golden orbs go back to you.
“I had no idea” he assured you. “Is my uncle here too?” He asked once again to Katara.
“He had business to finish in Ba Sing Se but he’ll be here by tomorrow” it was Aang who intervened this time.
Before anyone else could speak Toph appeared around the corner. “Oh great, you’re back. How was your date?” With those words your heartbeat stopped and restarted again at an impressively fast speed.
Every pair of eyes in the room turned to look at you and Zuko realizing for the first time the two of you had been out together and alone. “Date?” Sokka asked raising an eyebrow. You knew he was never gonna let this go.
“It wasn’t a date” Zuko said from a place he’d stood in behind you. Your heart fell at those words. I mean, yeah he never explicitly said it was a date, and deep inside you knew it wasn’t, but you had hoped that in a way it could’ve been. What hurt you the most was how fast he was to correct Toph, as if he couldn’t stand the idea of your picnic being a date. “Y/N was bored to death and I was too stressed from Fire lord stuff so we took a day off and ate lunch.”
The silence that came after surely couldn’t last more than a couple seconds but to you it was so awkward and shameful it might as well have been two hours. Finally Toph was the once to speak once again. “Well... are we gonna stay here all night and freeze or are we going inside to eat? I’m starving”
——————————-
You did as much as you could to not let Zuko’s comment ruin your night. You got to spend time with your friends for the first time in a while, and at first, swallowing the tight feeling in your throat was hard, you didn’t want to look at Zuko for the rest of the night. The worst part was you knew Zuko hadn’t done anything wrong, it was you who was dumb enough to think a day out could become something else... something more, he was being kind and nice and you turned it into something you knew would end up hurting you. If anything the one you should be mad at is yourself.
But after just a few minutes at the table, listening to Katara and Sokka’s stories about how it was like to go back home after so long, how they’d received them like heroes, how gran gran was so proud of them, Aangs tales of how the other nations are doing and Suki recieving good news from the Kioshi warriors sometimes, soon enough the feeling faded. It would resurface every now and again when Zuko’s eyes would meet your own, an almost worried look on his face but faint enough for only you to notice, but you managed to keep your attention on everyone else.
When dinner was over, Suki was the one to propose the idea of having a girls-only sleep over. Toph, Katara and you agreed, while Sokka told Aang and Zuko they would have a boys night then. You wasted no time making your way to Toph’s room and away from the dinner table. As soon as you walked in you threw yourself dramatically to her bed as the rest of the girls walked inside after you. Toph was the last one and closed the door behind her.
“So... are you gonna keep drowning in your sorrows or are you gonna tell us what happened today at your date.” She jumped to the bed as Katara and Suki took a seat too.
“It wasn’t a date, Toph.”
“You sure wanted it to be” she joked leaning back into her pillows.
“Toph!” You yelled throwing a small cushion at her face which surprisingly she caught with her hand.
“Um... Y/N? Did we miss something? Are you and Zuko...” Suki said looking at you expectantly.
“No! There’s not a me and Zuko, things are like they’ve always been, we’re friends, that’s it.” You responded exasperated
“But... you want to be more.” Katara added, it was more of a statement than a question.
“Ugh i don’t know.” You replied covering your face with your hands. “I mean yeah but it’s dumb and it’s not gonna happen, so no.”
“Well he did seem pretty concerned when you sprinted out of the dining room” She pointed out moving over to braid your hair. She liked to do that because she said it reminded her of when her mom used to do it to her.
“You didn’t tell us what happened today in your little trip” Toph interviened pushing you softly with her foot.
“Nothing, i think. I mean... at one point I think we were about to kiss? But then a guard interrupted us with the news of you guys being here so we had to leave.” You felt a heat take over your body as you remembered the moment when Zuko’s face had been only inches away from yours. “Oh and I kinda fell asleep on him on the way back and he hugged me to warm me up. That’s it”
“That’s it? Y/N you’re really dumb sometimes.” Toph said “If he almost kissed you and you were all cuddly in the carriage then there’s no way he doesn’t like you.”
“He called himself my ‘friend’ while we were eating, and you saw how he got when you said we were on a date. It’s like the idea of it it’s unbearable to him.” You sighed deeply as you felt Katara finishing up your braid. “I think the best thing I can do is get over it.”
“Don’t do something you’ll regret later, Y/N” Suki advised you as she put a reassuring hand on your shoulder.
“Yeah...that’s what I’m trying to do.”
—————
That night you had more fun than you remembered having in a long time. Gossiping about boys was first on your sleepover to-do list. You heard Suki complain about all the Southern Water tribe girls who would dwell over Sokka, and how he would be so oblivious about it, it could become so frustrating. “It’s like he doesn’t even notice how all this girls have their eyes glued to him when he tells stories about his travels and basically need a bucket to store all their drooling.” And Katara didn’t have much complaining to do on that area, she said she sometimes would catch girls looking at him in awe but honestly that’s how everyone looked at Aang, besides she was sure Aang was too busy to even pay attention to anyone other than her. Despite complaints about their boyfriends, the two girls seemed to be very happy.
You talked, laughed and ended up falling asleep cuddled together by the end of the night. You missed that, you really did.
But as all good things, it had to come to an end. The sun was rising on the horizon by the time you woke up and decided to go to the bathroom. With your eyes still half closed from the light, you didn’t even notice when you walked into Zuko. You felt his strong chest covered by his work attire and a pair of hands holding you so you wouldn’t trip.
“Y/N” he said surprised to see you. “Good morning.” Zuko smiled at the sight of your sleepy eyes and morning head.
“Hey” you greeted him back “working early?”
He put his hands down from your shoulders and back to his sides before answering “Yeah, actually. I want to get some things done before mid-day. I’m taking all of you to the market to find something to wear for the gala. I asked around and it sounds like Uncle went all out.”
“He’s getting here today right?”
“Later tonight, yeah” Zuko replied. You tried your best not to but it was impossible not getting lost in his eyes for just a second. You’d never noticed how bright they got in direct sunlight, it was like you could even see the golden and orange specks flying in his orbs, just like a wild burning flame. You couldn’t tell if you wanted this to happen so bad you imagined it or if it actually happened, but you could swear his eyes drifted down to your lips for a split second. He was the one break the silence again. “So um... wake the girls up and tell them to get ready, we’ll be on our way at mid-day.”
You were taken out of your trance and forced to answer. “Yeah, will do.” And with that the Fire lord was on his way back to his office and you were left standing alone, like you had many times before.
——————-
The market was filled with people that day. It was bigger than any market you’d ever been in before, it took up blocks upon blocks where sellers would set their carts or open their shops for costumers to come in. There was an entire street dedicated to clothing, so you and the girls decided to separate from the group to go into a store where Katara had seen a particularly nice dress, while they went off to find Zuko’s personal tailor who had a shop right around the corner.
You didn’t even take two steps into the store before Katara whined“Isn’t this the most beautiful thing you’ve seen?” Holding up an aqua marine dress against her.
“I’ve never seen anything more beautiful.” Said Toph, who was standing next to you.
“Ha ha, hilarious Toph”
“It’s really pretty Katara, I think it would look great on you.” intervened Suki looking at her and then turning around to look for one herself.
“I’ll go try it on.” She said walking to the back side of the store where you assumed the dressing rooms were.
You started to walk around trying to find something too, you liked shopping but you were never too good at deciding what would look best on you. A couple dresses caught your eye, but for all of them you ended up deciding they weren’t enough for the occasion. Your search came to an end when you heard Suki yell at you from somewhere in the store. “Y/N!! You need to see this right now!”
You followed the sound of her voice to the opposite end of the store to see her standing in front of a dress. Before she moved to the side to let you get a sight of it she said “You’re gonna love this.” The dress she picked was a long, puffy formal dress, it was mostly red from the bottom but as you looked up to the waist and chest it faded into a deep red and finally to black in the shoulders and sleeves. The neckline had a V shape that would show the shape of your breasts but still was formal and discrete enough to fit the occasion. The back was made out of a very thin lace fabric that would make it seem like the only thing laying on your skin were some black details simulating the shape of flames with some slight golden details on them. It really felt like the dress was made for you.
You were speechless for a couple seconds which Suki took as a hint of you loving it as much as she did. She started to push you to the dressing rooms saying “You need to try it on” until you finally were in one closing the curtain behind you. You thought it wouldn’t take you more than a few minutes to put it on, but in reality it took around ten. Because the dress was very wide and voluptuous, getting it no happened to be harder than it looked and you ended up needing to ask for help from one of the girls that worked in the store. When you finally got it on and looked at yourself you were sure that it was the one.
You were about to walk out when you heard a male’s voice outside the dressing room. “Y/N?” You recognized Zuko’s voice calling you “are you there?”
“Yeah im here.” Almost forgetting what you had on you walked right out to meet him. His eyes fell on you and widened instantly, he looked at you up and down not saying a thing for a good while before you asked “Well? Do you like it?”
“I-I um... yeah, you look... wow” he stuttered back not taking his eyes off of you. You hadn’t seen Zuko this nervous or stuttery since he first met you when he joined the gaang. It was sweet and it made your cheeks gain color once again.
“I’ll take that as a ‘I do like it’.” You chuckled a bit before asking “Where are the girls?”
“They um... they’re already out. It was getting a little crowded in here so they sent me in to look for you.”
“Oh, ok. I’ll take this off and then pay for it, I’ll be done in a second.” You said walking back into the dressing room. Taking it off was significantly easier to do that putting it on, thank the spirits.
Once you walked out Zuko was still waiting for you there. Right as you were about to go pay for the dress, you were sure you saw through the window a familiar face walking in front of the store. You pulled out a bag of coins and handed it to the boy standing next to you. “Zuko... do me a favor. Can you pay for the dress for me? I need to go outside really quick.”
He had a confused look on his face but nodded, taking the bag into one hand and holding the dress in the other. He saw you run outside while he was giving the coins to the old lady who owned the store, faintly listening while she said “She looks beautiful in it doesn’t she? You’re a lucky young man” If he had been paying his full attention, maybe he would’ve corrected her, but his eyes were glued on you. You had stopped a guy in the middle of the street who you looked at with awe and surprise. When he was finally done paying for the dress and the old lady was done packing it up, he walked out of the store only to find this guy holding your face in his hands really close to his, your hands rested on his neck as he approached you and gave you several kisses in your cheeks and forehead while you laughed. The final straw for him was when you raised your hand to his cheek, moving away a bunch of hair that barely covered his face. He was completely sure you were about to kiss him.
Zuko’s heart dropped and his vision turned red. He couldn’t stand looking at you anymore, so he walked up to Aang and the others faster than he meant to.
“Zuko. Are you ok?” Katara asked realizing how his deemeanor had changed.
“Fine. Give this to Y/N.” He ordered handing the dress to her. “I have business to attend at the palace, if you want you can stay and eat around here.”
And without waiting for a reply he took off walking furiously out of the market.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All of the days had pretty much begun to blend together. There was no difference between morning and night. You just sat in your room, shades drawn, binging TV shows and movies. After the first night, you began to cry in random spurts. It would go a bit something like this: you would be staring at the cereal swirling in the milk and burst into tears because your heart would just seize up in pain; you would focus on the spinning of your ceiling fan before you would realize the tears were spilling out of your eyes; you would tear up as you scrolled through your camera photos just to see his face. Every ounce of your being missed him but there was no way in hell you could face him, not after that night. 
You had blocked his number when he began to text and call you after a week. You had hoped he would never contact you, but that wasn’t the case. 
Tae: hey
Tae: can we talk
Tae: I’m sorry 
Tae: can we stay friends 
Tae: missed call (5)
Tae: why r u ignoring me
Tae: u fucked it up
Tae: not me
Tae: I’m sorry that was uncalled for
Tae: can we talk 
Tae: pls 
Every time his name popped up on your phone screen, you felt like throwing your phone against the wall. It was after a few days of this when you realized you couldn’t take it anymore. You just wanted him out of your life. It became much easier to deal with the pain once you weren’t bombarded by messages from him.
You laid on your bed, with Gossip Girl mindlessly playing in the background, thinking about him. Before the break started, you and Taehyung talked about all of the things you wanted to do since this was the first time in a long time where it would be you two alone at home: have picnics, go ice skating, watch movies all night. All of that, gone to shit. Just cause you fucking had to tell him about your feelings. 
Your mom had enough of you lying in your bed all day and forced you to get out of your room. It just ended up with you lying on the living room couch all day instead. You had just gotten a copy of “Freedom is a Constant Struggle” by Angela Davis but you felt like your brain was mush and couldn't bring yourself to read it. One morning, your parents tried convincing you to come shopping and get some fresh air but you felt like you had no energy to do so. You laid on the couch, face squished on a pillow, curled up in a blanket, completely not comprehending the episode of gossip girl you had switched on. The doorbell rang and you groaned, barely shifting, not wanting to answer the door. The doorbell rang again and you rolled off the couch, annoyed. You tried peering through the side window to see who was at your door bothering you. Then you heard loud rapid knocks. Ugh who the fuck is knocking at my door and why aren’t they leaving? 
You reluctantly opened the door, still wrapped in your blanket, completely prepared to yell at whoever was annoying the shit out of you, but when you saw him standing there, every thought in your head completely disappeared, your heart completely dropping. 
Your voice broke, “Taehyung?”
He looked at you, peering at your eyes behind his shaggy curly strands of hair, shivering in his jacket and sweatpants, “__________”. His voice was shaking, as if he was scared.
You wanted to slam the door on his face, but the way his big brown eyes were staring at you, full of innocence, you knew you couldn’t bring yourself to do that. You couldn’t help but wonder, did he not get the message? And why does he even want to talk to you? 
“What do you want?” you asked, sternly. 
“Can we talk? please?”
“Taehyung, please, leave me alone. please.” You tried to close the door but he stepped forward and held the door open with his hand.
“You blocked my number. I can't even contact you anymore. Can I just have this at least? Can we just talk once more?” he pleaded. His eyes were filled with a sadness that you couldn’t quite understand. You desperately just wanted to reject him just like he did to you, but you couldn’t. He was and always would be your weakness. Seeing him, standing here in front of you, doe eyed and heartbroken because of your actions made you hate yourself even more. You would rather have your heart broken a thousand times than to see him in pain. 
“Okay. we can talk,” you whispered softly. 
You didn't want to let him in though. You just leaned on the doorframe, staring at him as the wind sent shivers up your spine. 
“Why are you ignoring me again? I told you not to do that. Ignoring me doesn’t do anything.”
“I needed space. And I still do.”
“Space from me?” he stepped closer to you. His closeness made you uneasy. You glanced up into his eyes, and there were stone cold seriousness. You hadn’t seen Taehyung like this in a while. For all the talk of you thinking Taehyung was adorable and cute, he could be just as intimidating. The look in his eyes made you almost scared. 
“Yes.” you breathed out, trying to match his serious tone.
“Are you mad at me?”
“I’m not mad at you, just at myself…because I knew this would happen, but I let myself fall in love with you anyways.”
“I'm sorry.”
“There's nothing to be sorry about. It's just I should have known better. It's what happens to people like me. And this is why I don’t let myself fall in love.”
“___________ don't let this ruin you. Don’t let me fuck up everything you believed in. You’ll fall in love again.”
“Taehyung. I’ve been in love with you for years. I just never had the guts to say it. I dunno if I'll fall in love again because my heart belongs to you. I didn’t choose to give it to you and it fucking kills me to admit it,” you felt tears welling up in your eyes. Your voice began to crack, shaking from the tears, “but my heart is yours and you don’t even want it.”
Taehyung had been staring at the ground, scared to make eye contact with you. But once you said those words, he looked up at you, his eyes trembling, “_________ I like you. okay? Please don't forget that. You're my best friend.”
You looked deep into his eyes and shook your head softly, “Taehyung, Stop looking at me like you want me because we both know you don’t. I know you don’t feel the same way, but I wish you did.” 
“_______ I told you, I just don't know right now. I just don't know how I feel about you but maybe if you give me time I could fi-“
You cut him off, not wanting to hear any bullshit, “Don’t fuck with my feelings just because you’re unsure of yours. I didn’t mean to fall in love but I did. And you didn’t mean to hurt me but you did. Try to understand how I feel.”
Taehyung took another step towards you, his hand came up to your face, resting on your cheek as he wiped a falling tear, “Why do you need space from me? Why do you need to cut me off completely?”
You pushed his hand away, feeling annoyed at his words. All of this was bullshit. Taehyung doesn’t care about you. He broke your heart and he was just acting now. He just pretends to care but really he doesn’t give a shit about you. 
You furrowed your eyebrows in anger, “I just want to fucking get over you okay? Like Taehyung, you have no idea what you do to me. The way my heart goes completely erratic. The way that one look from you is all that I need to smile. I can’t think around you. Because all I think about it is you. I don’t think...I’m capable of being just friends with you. At least not for a long time. Maybe that’s selfish but that’s all I’m asking of you. I’m not asking you to love me because I know you can’t do that. So just give me space.”
He was quiet, not saying a single word. You sighed out your last few thoughts, “You don’t love me the way I love you. And I know you never will. And that’s okay. But understand that just being friends with you and seeing you everyday is a reminder that you don’t love me.”
Taehyung scoffed, kicking his foot against the door frame, “Why did you do that? Why did you have to tell me your feelings? Why did you fuck it up?”
Your lip trembled. You already felt like shit, like the biggest idiot on the planet for thinking he could love you back, and now he was just shoving your mistakes right back in your face, “Why did you kiss me? You keep saying I fucked it up! I didn’t, you did! If you just didn’t fucking kiss me, then this wouldn’t have happened. So why the fuck did you kiss me?”
He took a step back, shocked at your outburst. His voice faltered, coming out weak and soft, “I..I..I dunno. I don’t know.” 
You scoffed, “You want me in your life, but I can’t do that. You’re asking too much of me. You’re asking me to pretend these feelings I have for you are insignificant. Something that can be stored away as if they didn’t matter. But it did matter. To me.” You stepped towards him, feeling a bit reckless but fuck it right? you had nothing else to lose. you just wanted the truth from him. You asked, your voice icy, “Do I even matter to you?”
He looked at you, confused, “Of course you matter to me. You're my everything.”
You couldn't help but let out a cold laugh, “The things you say sometimes make me feel like I actually have a chance with you, but then I snap back to reality and realize I never really did.”
Taehyung looked at you with defeated eyes. You looked at him and saw that he knew he had done things and said things that he couldn’t take back. 
His eyes were now puffy and bloodshot. His voice croaked, “So where does this leave us? We go back to ignoring each other? You pretend I don't exist and I do the same to you?”
You sighed as you walked back to your front door. you turned to look at him before you shut the door close, “It's for the best Taehyung.”
You closed the door, not waiting to see if he had left your porch. You sat on the ground, back against the door as tears collected in your eyelashes. You know you really love someone when you don’t hate them for breaking your heart
———————————————————————————————————
You left later than planned, purposefully just so you could avoid traveling with Taehyung or even running into him by accident on campus. When you got back to school, Hana was out with Jungkook so you began to unpack, trying to distract yourself. You had told her a little bit about what happened, that you told him how you felt but he didn't reciprocate. You definitely made it seem you weren’t as torn up about it as you actually were, avoiding her FaceTime calls so she couldn’t see your bloodshot eyes. 
You slumped on your bed, scrolling through an academic paper you were attempting to read for class but you couldn’t focus. His fucking smile, his fucking laugh, his fucking curly hair, it was all swimming in your mind and you couldn’t stop thinking about him. 
You felt your eyes well up with tears and shut your laptop. You laid down on your bed and buried yourself in your blankets. You drifted off to sleep, exhausted from being so emotionally drained. 
You jolted awake when you felt a hand on your shoulder. 
“__________.”
“Whatttt?” You groaned as rolled over and saw Hana sitting on the edge of your bed. You rubbed your eyes and broke out into a smile when you saw your roommate, “Hana!”
She gave you a hug and gave you a concerned look, “How are you?”
You felt your words get caught in your throat, immediately feeling tears well up in your eyes, “I’m okay. Dunno why I can/t stop crying.” 
Hana rubbed your shoulder soothingly, “You just lost one of your best friends. Your heart got completely broken. It’s okay to cry __________.”
“I’m so fucking stupid. I wish I didn't give him this power to hurt me,” you whispered softly.
“Hey, it's okay ___________. I'm so proud of you. You worked up the courage to tell him how you feel. And what you feel matters, so you shouldn’t feel bad about it, okay?”
You shook your head. You couldn’t even explain your heartbreak to Hana. Because she wouldn’t understand. You wouldn’t wish this kind of pain on anyone. Unrequited love doesn’t just make you feel sad. It breaks you down. It preys on your deepest insecurities and leaves you hollow and empty. Because in the end, it was you. You were the problem, you were the reason why it didn’t work out. It's not even that he was in love with someone else. It was simply that he didn't love you. 
Hana spoke cautiously, “What exactly did he say when you told him?”
You tried to recall but your mind was a bit foggy as you tried to mentally block out that day, “Um, well he said he doesn’t love me that way. And that he was confused about his feelings.”
“He said he was confused?”
“Yea,”
“Hmm. it's a weird word choice but…”
“But what?”
“Im sorry ___________. I'm going to be honest with you, just so it doesn’t hurt more later. When a guy says they’re confused, they probably don't have feelings at all and are just trying to be nice. That's the only thing not complicated about them. If a guy likes a girl, he won’t hide it and say he is confused.”
“I’m fucking crazy to think he was into me” you said, tears slowly rolling down your cheeks.
“Do you still love him?” 
“Yea”
“How much?” 
“Why does it matter?” You retorted coldly, staring at your blankets.
She responded in a soft tone, “Why does it not?” 
You met her eyes, “Because he doesn’t love me back” 
“If you still love him, then you can't be around him right now. But you shouldn’t regret your feelings towards him. I know it doesn’t seem like it right now, but you’ll get through this.”
You fiddled with your hands, trying to steady your breathing, “It’s unfathomable. I can’t possibly envision a future with him loving me the way I want him to. But I can't get rid of this feeling, that somewhere deep inside me, I still have hope that he’ll fall for me.  It’s pathetic really, how much I still hope it’s him and me in the end.”
She put her arm around your shoulder, pulling you into her embrace, “It's not pathetic. You love him, its okay to want him. But I promise you, you’ll get through this, and I'll be there for you the entire time. You are such an amazing person, you are kind and smart and if he can’t see that, then fuck him.”
you laughed humorlessly, “Thanks Hana.” You paused and then whispered hoarsely, “I wish love was perfect as love itself.”
“it will be. Once you find the one. It will all feel so easy and natural when you find your actual love.”
It was silent for a few moments and then she looked at your puffy eyes, “Are you feeling better?”
You sniffled and nodded, “I’ll be fine.”
“How do you know that?” she asked seriously. 
You glanced at the window, seeing the rain droplets slide down the window pane, “Because my whole life I’ve been in love with someone who doesn’t love me back. It’s nothing new.”
“Boys are fucking stupid” Hana said, shaking her head.
“So fucking stupid.” 
———————————————————————————————————
Hana did her best to keep you distracted, walking with you to class, eating meals with you, hanging out with you on the weekends, always going to the library with you. Jungkook tagged along most of the time but only after Hana asked you if it was okay. Seeing Jungkook did remind you of Taehyung, but his presence didn't bother you too much since he was always cracking jokes to make you smile. 
You didn't see Taehyung around campus at all. It was like he was a ghost, completely gone from your life. It almost made it worse because then you yearned to see him, just to see his cute smile, to hear his adorable laugh. You missed his annoying headass personality that made your heart flutter, you missed the way you could talk to him about anything and everything because he actually listened, you missed being the person he could trust the most to talk to about his feelings. 
Sometimes you got these heart aches, you could physically feel yourself falling apart at the seams. And it just hurt. It hurt to breathe, to think, to feel. And you didn’t know what hurt the most: The fact that he wasn’t in your life anymore and you won’t ever see his doe eyes and boxy smile again or the fact that you weren’t enough for him and that you’ll never be enough for him. 
 The pain of him just not being in your life was worse than you could ever imagine. Then, that combined with the realization your love was unrequited made you feel like you weren't ever going to get through this. 
You sat on the first floor of the library with Hana, working through some biology worksheets to prepare for class. Hana was talking to you about the new boba place on campus, “They have the best green milk tea.”
“Damn I miss boba. I haven’t had it in so long.”
“Lets go right after this. They have a bunch of flavors.”
You nodded, feeling weirdly excited for just boba. 
“Hi” you heard a voice say.
You looked up and saw Jennie. 
“Hi?” you said, very confused. 
She smoothed out her pink tennis skirt and sat down on the seat next to you, “Can we talk?”
“About?”
“Him.”
You glanced at Hana, who was also clearly uncomfortable. You really didn't want to talk to her about Taehyung but Hana gave you a small nod.
“Fine.”
Jennie looked at Hana uneasily, “Can we talk alone?”
You crossed your arms defensively, “Anything you have to say to me, Hana can hear it too.”
Hana put her hand on your shoulder reassuringly, “It’s okay. You should talk to her alone. I'll be by the vending machines in the back. Come and find me when you're done talking.”
She got up after giving you a smile.
You sighed deeply, facing Jennie, “So what’s up?”
“What happened? With you and Taehyung?”
“That's literally none of your business. Did he tell you something?”
She looked concerned, “No. Well. Kinda. Not really. After we all got back to campus, Taehyung didn't text me or call me. Which is strange because he usually calls or texts around every two weeks or so to hook up. But once we got back, he didn't respond to any of my messages. So I went over to his dorm.”
“And?”
“And he looked like shit. Like he hadn't slept or showered or eaten properly. I tried asking him what happened but he just told me to leave and not to come back. I ran into Jimin on the way out. He said you two had a falling out and Taehyung has been a wreck since. Tae has barely left his room, only for school and soccer and thats with Jimin and his other friends forcing him to.”
What? What was going on with him? Was he really this affected by your friendship? That didn't make any sense you guys had only recently become friends. Surely he could easily just resume his lifestyle to when you guys weren’t close. 
You looked at Jennie, “I told him that I loved him. And he said he didn’t love me. I said we couldn’t be friends, at least not for a while. I guess he didn't take it well.”
You thought Jennie would just laugh in your face or say “I told you so”, but she didn't. She pulled you into a side hug, “Oh honey, I'm so sorry. I’m sorry. I know how it feels.”
“Did you ever tell him how you felt?”
She laughed softly, “I didn’t. I was too scared. I knew he would reject me. I guess I was scared of losing him, even just as a fuck buddy. So I just quietly pined over him from a distance.”
You chuckled, “You and me both.”
“I kinda admire that you had the guts to tell him how you felt. If he didn't have feelings for you, there's no possible way he ever liked me.”
You scoffed, “I'm sure he has feelings for you. You're so beautiful. And nice. And pretty. There's no way he didn't like you.”
“__________, you know you're beautiful too. I was actually always jealous of you.”
You were completely shocked, “Jealous of me?”
“Yes! No matter where we were, you could always get Taehyung's attention without even trying. I had to literally climb on top of him to get him to even think about me. Sorry about that by the way.”
“You don't have to be sorry about that. It's not a big deal. Honestly boys are so fucking stupid. I don't know why we let him use us and hurt us so much.”
“Exactly. I hope...we can be friends. Like for real.”
You nodded, “I'm sorry too. I was kinda a bitch to you.”
“Like you said, it's not a big deal. that's all in the past.” 
Jennie got up and smiled at you. She paused for a moment, looking at you carefully, “By the way, you mean a lot to Taehyung. I know you're upset at him right now but maybe you can consider being friends with him in awhile.”
She stalked away leaving you in your thoughts. It was still too soon. But you felt better. Some of your sadness that you felt for yourself went away, transforming into a sort of anger and annoyance at Taehyung: he used girls like you and Jennie all the time and would play with their feelings just so he could feel good about himself. Fuck boys. 
———————————————————————————————————
You were sitting on the picnic benches near the soccer field like how you used to do, but now Taehyung doesn’t come and sit next to you. The peacefulness of being outdoors allowed you to finally focus on your work without any distractions. As you were studying your statistics homework, you heard someone call your name. You looked up and it was Jimin's smiling face.
“Hey ___________!”
“Hey” you said quietly. You were a bit surprised to see Jimin talking to you. You kinda figured whatever friendship you two had was gone once you and Taehyung stopped talking.
“Are you doing the stats homework?” He said walking over to you, both his backpack and soccer bag slung over his shoulder.
“Um yea,” you said, shifting uneasily. Why was he talking to you? If he was here to talk about Taehyung, you were going to get up and leave. You really weren’t emotionally or mentally prepared to talk about him with one his closest friends.
“I was actually having some trouble with the assignment. Could you help me with it?” He said, dropping his bags on the picnic table.
“Uh sure I guess,” you mumbled out as he sat next to you. Jimin gave you his signature beautiful smile and you felt terrible because all you could offer was your half hearted one. He pulled out his notes and you began to help him with a few of his questions. 
Being around Jimin was actually immensely helpful. He successfully distracted you with his cute jokes and charming personality. After about an hour or so, you realized you should be heading back to your dorm so you stood and began to pack up your things. 
“___________?”
“Yeah?”
“I was wondering...” he looked a bit nervous, giving you a shy smile, “I was wondering if you want to get dinner together tomorrow?”
You blinked. Was Park Jimin asking you out? What? What the fuck was going on?
“You want to get dinner...with me?” You asked, confused.
He laughed, “Yes I want to. Do you want to...with me?”
Was this a prank or something? Did he want something from you? 
“Wait is this like a study dinner thing with a group?” You asked, very unsure.
Jimin chuckled again as he ran his hand through his brown hair, “No _________, this isn’t a study dinner thing with a group. I want to get dinner with just you with no studying involved.”
You fiddled with the end of your hair, trying to process what he was saying, “Is this a date or...” 
“It can be whatever you want. It can be two friends getting food together or it can be something more.”
“Jimin...I dunno. I don’t want anyone to get the wrong idea” you said, thinking of Taehyung.
He put his hand gently on your shoulder, “If you’re upset about Taehyung, I get it. But that’s why I said it can be two friends hanging out.”
You thought about it and pursed your lips. Why do I give a fuck about what Taehyung thinks? He made it clear that we are just friends and that he has no feelings for me. Honestly we aren’t even friends anymore so I don’t give a fuck about what he thinks.
You slung your bag over your shoulder and smiled at Jimin, “You know what? You’re right. We can hang. Just text me later.” 
You wanted to feel confident and happy that you were trying to move on and make plans with people instead of laying in your dorm room bed all day but there was still a nagging feeling of hurt and longing in your heart that didn’t know would ever disappear.
———————————————————————————————————
You wanted to feel the same butterflies you always felt whenever you saw Taehyung, but as you stepped out of your dorm and saw Jimin leaning against his black Audi, wearing sunglasses and a black tee tucked into black skinny jeans, you didn’t feel anything.
He smiled at you, “Hey __________. You look cute.” Again, nothing.
“Thanks. You look pretty good yourself.” You retorted playfully. 
He opened the car door for you and you sat in the car, immediately getting flashbacks to Taehyung's birthday party and how he took you for a joyride in this very car. You smoothed out your black pleated skirt and picked at your leggings hoping you would get distracted and not reminisce over the happiness you felt sitting in this car with Taehyung. 
You and Jimin chatted quietly about your days and your classes before you realized he had parked in front of a small restaurant.
“I actually have been meaning to go here for a while, but never found the time. Or the right person to go with,” Jimin said with a teasing smile as you walked into the restaurant.
Sometimes you would forget that Jimin was just as much as a fuckboi as Taehyung except with more braincells but then he would tease you, just like Taehyung used to, with flirty jokes and seductive smiles and you couldn’t help but roll your eyes at his antics.
As you slurped on your ramen noodles, you found that you and Jimin had more in common than you realized. 
“You watch Gossip Girl?” you said widening your eyes when he lit up at your off hand comment about re binging the show over break.
“Of course! Nate is my literal inspiration!” he exclaimed with a huge smile.
“Nate?” you thought about it for a moment and then continued, “Actually, he’s definitely the least problematic one out of everyone in the show.”
“And…he definitely has the best style.” Jimin added as he sipped his water.
you talked a bit about his winter break and his adventures in europe. 
“So did you go with your family or..” you asked, curious.
“I went with some friends from home. I wanted to get some of the BTS guys to go with me but we decided to go on a group trip for spring break.” 
“Where did you go in Europe?”
“Um, I went to England, then France, then Germany.”
“Oh wow. that's a lot of places,” you commented, a bit surprised since break was only two weeks.
“I dunno. I think traveling is such a great way to relax I guess. Going to new places and experiencing new cultures with friends.”
“That's valid. I guess in my head traveling gives me stress. So did you go sight seeing or just kinda wandered around the city?”
He chuckled, a light blush coming to his cheeks, “Uh, kinda, I guess.”
You wrinkled your eyebrows, not understanding why he was getting flustered, “What? What did you do?”
He ran his hand through his hair, catching a glimpse at how silky his dark brown locks were, “Well, it was like 25 percent sightseeing historical buildings.”
“And the other 75 percent?”
“Sightseeing night clubs” he said laughing.
“So you went to Europe to go to clubs?” you said trying to stifle your laughs.
“In my defense, European clubs are way different so there’s that.”
You raised your eyebrows at him, “And?”
“And what?” he said leaning forward on his arms.
“What about the European girls?”
“Oh fuck off,” Jimin said, averting his eyes and laughing.
“What else should I expect from Park Jimin? European vacation for clubbing and girls.”
“Dude, you make me sound like I'm Chuck Bass,” Jimin countered, his face a complete shade of pink, fully embarrassed at your teasing.
After you two paid for your meals, Jimin walked you over to a cute little cafe next door. You excitedly picked out a slice of strawberry cake, desperately wanting something comforting after feeling alone for the past month while Jimin ordered a coffee. You tried to pay for your own cake but of course Jimin wouldn’t hear of it and paid for it, insisting it was the “gentlemanly” thing to do (you had to roll your eyes at this). 
You two made your way to a picnic table in front of the restaurant, sitting underneath the bright fairy lights hung up outside, giving just enough light in the darkness of the night. He sat across from you, sipping his coffee. You opened up the box that contained the cake and smiled, remembering the good memories you had attached with it. You brushed your hair behind your ear and took a bite.
You offered some to him which he accepted.
“___________, I'm not sure if you want to talk about this yet, but I just wanted to ask how you are doing? Like for real?”
You sighed. You figured he was going to ask you about this at some point tonight, “Okay I guess. I mean not great but i'm going on. It’s whatever I guess” 
“It's not whatever. I'm really sorry that happened to you. It hurts, doesn’t it?”
You nodded softly and whispered out, “It does.” 
You were scared to ask but you knew you couldn’t go home tonight without asking Jimin, “How is he?”
He set his coffee on the table, “Not good. He misses you. A lot.”
Your heart broke at his words. You wished he just told you that Taehyung didn't give a shit. That he was doing great and that he was still fucking Jennie and didnt even notice that you weren’t in his life anymore. 
Part of you didn't believe his words, “Nah. I'm sure he’s fine.”
“No __________ he isn't. He doesn’t go out anymore. He just goes to class and soccer practice. That's it.”
You closed your eyes, processing what Jimin was saying. Why is he so upset? He broke your heart. He made you cry. He made you feel worthless so why is he acting like this? 
“Does he know you’re hanging out with me tonight?”
“Uh no. But I didn't want him to get the wrong idea. You said this was just as friends so there’s no reason for me to tell him and have him get all worked up about it,” Jimin said, shrugging his shoulders. 
You nodded, resting your hands on the picnic table, trying to take deep breaths to calm your nerves.
He stood up and sat next to you, his legs touching yours. He reached over and took your hands in his, “I don't know why he’s so torn up about this whole situation, especially since he broke your heart. I tried telling him that you need space and that it's completely fair of you to not want to be friends for now but he always dodges the conversation. I'll try talking to him again.”
Your voice cracked as you looked at Jimin, Thank you. For being a good friend. For listening to me. For caring about me.”
He put his arm around your shoulder, pulling you into his embrace, “Of course. I just really want you and Taehyung to be okay. Both of you are my friends and I care about you guys a lot.” 
Jimin dropped you off at your dorm and told you to call him if you ever needed anything. You gave him a weak smile and went back to your room, feeling slightly okay.
You laid on your bed and checked Instagram since you hadn’t looked at it in a while. You noticed Jimin had something recently posted which was kinda odd because he rarely posted on his Instagram story and you were just with him. You clicked on his story and your eyes widened when you saw it was a picture of you captioned with a single purple heart. 
It was a photo he took of you sitting across from him at the picnic table. You were smiling at the strawberry cake in front of you. You couldn’t clearly see your face since your hair was somewhat covering it but if anyone knew you, it was very obvious. You were worried for a moment that Taehyung would see it before you remembered you two weren’t on speaking terms anymore. Well, its a cute picture and I had a good time with Jimin tonight so who cares? you thought, shrugging your worries away. 
———————————————————————————————————
The next morning, you woke up feeling better than you had in a long time. The weight that you had been dredging around for the past month or so had felt lighter. You grabbed your baking basket and some strawberries from your fridge, finally feeling the excitement to bake in a long time. You also wanted some time to think; a lot had changed since you came back home from break and you wanted to properly sort out how you were feeling about the whole situation. 
You tied up your hair, and laid out the ingredients to make strawberry muffins. You thought about Jennie as you mixed the flour, baking soda, and salt together. She was hurt too. You never really thought about how she felt in this whole situation, but in her own way, she was dealing with her own personal insecurities. She wanted Taehyung too and you had him in a way she never did. 
You were glad that you two were on friendly terms now because she was a sweet and kind person once you got to actually knowing her. You felt upset at the way Taehyung treated her. He knew her feelings and yet he continued to play with them, just like he played with yours. After hanging out with Jimin, you were also heartbroken to hear that Taehyung’s behavior hadn’t improved. You wanted him to recover just like you were. 
But it seemed like he needed you. And you didn't need him. You wanted him, that was for sure. But you didn’t need him because you were moving on. Each day it was getting easier to breathe and to think clearly. You began to mix the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients, slowly stirring as you thought. You paused and realized that you felt empty. Like your heart had finally gone numb. 
As if it were finally exhausted of the roller coaster of emotions you spent with him: anger, jealousy, nervousness, love, happiness. Your heart burned and burned and then suddenly turned to ice. You mixed the chopped up strawberry pieces with flour then added it to the batter. 
It felt nice, not feeling completely overwhelmed with emotions. You thought about what Hana had told you when you came back, that if he couldn’t recognize your worth, then fuck him. And then suddenly you cared even less.  Because the only person’s validation you needed was your own. You evenly divided the batter into 12 equal portions in the muffin tin. You popped the tin into the oven and sat down on the empty chair. 
You didn't need Taehyung's validation, you didn't need his love, to feel complete. You were complete on your own. You still had sadness for him, you still wanted him, but after these past few weeks, you came to the realization that you were enough and that pining and sitting in your room all day, waiting for him wasn’t going to do you any good. You breathed out softly, trying to reassure yourself, “It's going to be fine.”
———————————————————————————————————
“You’ll really come?” Hana asked excitedly.
You were sitting on your bed, relaxing as you attempted to proofread your essay. 
“Ya, I will. I’m not really making any progress with this essay right now. So I'll come.” Hana had been trying to convince you to come to a party all day and you had finally agreed. It had been a while since you went out, especially with the whole situation with Taehyung going on, you rarely left your room. But now, you were feeling much better emotionally and mentally. 
You got ready with Hana, opting for a simple jeans and sweater because it was still cold outside. 
She told you that the party wasn’t at the BTS frat and it calmed your nerves a little. Even though you were feeling better, you didn’t know what you would do if you saw Taehyung. It was still too soon. The wounds he left still hurt. 
“EXO parties are always fucking insane,” Hana raved as you two entered the frat house.
“Why?” you asked curious
“Cuz they rarely have parties but when they do, they go all out.” she said smiling as you looked around. Your eyes widened when you saw a huge tower of beer cans stacked in the middle, a DJ at the front of the house, and several stripper poles.
“What the fuck…” you mumbled as you looked around. 
“Jungkook is here somewhere.” Hana muttered as she led you through the enormous crowd. 
She found Jungkook in the kitchen by drinks, talking with Yoongi and Hobi. The second Jungkook saw Hana he pulled her into a deep kiss. You were really happy for Hana but it stung. Would anyone ever love you like that? You sighed and said hello to Yoongi and Hobi. 
“How is it going _________. Haven’t seen you in awhile.” Hobi said, smiling widely. 
Yoongi elbowed him in the stomach and whispered loudly, “Bro, shut up.”
You laughed awkwardly, “It's okay. I'm fine. just been doing school stuff.”
Yoongi gave you a soft smile, “I'm glad you are doing well. I know it's all complicated but I hope we can all still be friends.”
You nodded, “Of course.”
 Hobi handed you a drink, “Try this.”
You looked in the red solo cup and it was a blue colored drink, “What the fuck is this?”
“There isn’t any alcohol! It's just a blue Hawaiian punch mixed with sprite.”
“That sounds like a heart attack in a cup.” Yoongi said, utterly confused at the combination. 
“I'm telling you, It's good. Try it _________.”
You took a sip and it was very sweet, but not bad tasting. “It's decent. Not terrible,” you said nodding. 
Jungkook came over with Hana wrapped in his hard, “Guys I heard that EXO got strippers for tonight. That’s fucking insane.”
Hana punched his arm and Jungkook exclaimed, “Owww. I never said I was going to do anything about it. Just stating a fact.”
You were laughing at Jungkook’s pure stupidity when someone caught your eye. Your heart stopped. Of course he was here tonight. All his friends were.  You hadn’t seen him since that day on your porch. Then you saw his arm wrapped around her. Then the sadness that was in your heart immediately bloomed into anger. What the fuck? All this fucking talk of not wanting a girlfriend yet he was here with her? 
Hana put a hand on your shoulder, “Do you want to leave? We can go.”
You shook your head, “I'm fine.” 
“I can literally beat his ass right now if you want,” She said aggressively.
Jungkong squeezed Hana’s shoulder, “That's my Hana, lovely and scary.”
You gave her a weak smile, “I'm okay. For real. I just need you to be here for me. Thats all.”
You hadn’t spoken or seen Taehyung since that day on your porch. He looked sad. You could tell. You knew him better than anyone else in your life. He was putting on a mask, pretending like he was happy. But you could see it, the hollowness in his cheeks, the fact that he hadn’t shaved because of all the stubble on his face, his curly hair now long and unruly because he hadn’t gotten a haircut in awhile. He was wearing a simple white shirt tucked into a pair of jeans (unfortunately he still did look hot but you weren’t going to admit that) 
He walked up to you guys with Jennie by his side. He gave you a glance but you didn't meet his eyes, quickly looking away. Jennie gave you a small wave and you returned it. It was kinda ironic because before you would focus on the fact that Jennie was with him but since you guys were friends now, you fixed your annoyance on Taehyung. 
Taehyung and Jennie were talking to the group casually but about five minutes into the conversation, you couldn’t handle it anymore, pretending like everything was fine when it really wasn’t. 
You slowly left the circle and leaned on the drinks table behind your group of friends, exhaling deeply.
Jimin walked over, grinning with his beautiful smile, “Hey”
He leaned against the table, standing right next to you, “Hi”
“Shitty party right?” Jimin said, chuckling.
“It just became shitty” you said, sipping your drink, eyeing Taehyung.
“I don't why he came here with her. He literally hasn’t properly spoken to her or seen her since last semester,” Jimin said sincerely.
“Ya well I don’t give a fuck. He can do whatever he wants. We aren’t even friends anymore,” You said harshly. 
You and Jimin chatted a bit, and you almost forgot your annoyance at Taehyung. Then he walked over, with a stupid smirk on his face, “Excuse me __________ could you move? You’re standing in front of the drinks.”
You glared at him as you sipped your drink cooly, shrugging your shoulders, “Sucks.”
He towered over you, giving you an intimidating stare, slowly biting his lip, “C’mon _______ don’t be a bitch. Just move/”
Jimin stood up straight, “What the fuck did you just say to her?”
Taehyung gave you a cold laugh and raised his eyebrows teasingly, “Wow __________ you really need him to fight your battles?”
You knew that Taehyung was pissed at this point but you wanted to push his buttons further. You spoke in a calm tone, knowing that would make him even more annoyed, “I don’t, but he does have something called manners which is something that you could use.” 
He leaned his face close to yours. You felt his breath tickling your neck as you got a whiff of his cologne, “Aww, I think you’re just salty _________” 
You took a step towards him, not wanting him to get the satisfaction that he could intimidate you, “What could I possibly be salty about?”
Taehyung gave you a cocky smile, “Maybe that I’m here with Jennie. It must sting a little.”
You clenched your jaw. He had stepped over the line now. You knew exactly what he was trying to imply, that he had moved on with her. You were mad because he was once again just using Jennie for his own douchebag reasons. You looked Taehyung directly in the eye and scoffed, “You’re a fucking asshole.” 
He put his hands up defensively, “Calm down _________ no need to make a scene.” 
The amount of anger that flared in you in that moment was unprecedented. You wanted to embarrass him. You wanted to humiliate him. You wanted him to know how you felt right now. 
Then an idea popped in your head. You gave him a small smile and spoke in a sweet, innocent voice, “Oh my gosh you’re right Taehyung. I shouldn’t make a scene.”
Then you dumped your entire blue drink on his white shirt and smiled. Taehyung's eyes widened as he looked at his ruined shirt and Jimin gasped in shock. The second you dropped your drink onto Taehyung, Jennie turned around and laughed at what you did. Taehyung's eyes met yours and you realized you might have gone too far. His eyes were dangerous and dark. But if you were going to be honest, it felt really fucking good to do that. 
You shrugged and said sweetly, “Oops” 
Taehyung growled, “What the fu-“
You crushed the red solo cup you were still clutching against his chest and let it drop to the ground, “Calm down Tae you wouldn’t want to make a scene, right?”
You smirked at him and walked away. You could hear Yoongi and Hobi laughing while Jimin was trying to apologize for your behavior. 
Hana was able to find you on the couch a few minutes later.
She was laughing as she sat down next to you, “___________ that was so fucking hilarious.”
“I knew you would appreciate it.”
“It was good. I thought it was funny.”
You knew something was up because she had a concerned look in her eyes
“But...?” You asked cautiously 
“How long is this going to go on between you and Taehyung?”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean you guys used to be best friends. Are you guys just going to hate each other from now on?”
“I’m not the one who needs to make amends. He was an asshole to me.”
“Both of you need to make amends. You guys just need to talk. I’m not saying you guys should be besties again or anything but I think you guys need to learn how to be civil with one another. This shit can’t keep happening every time you see each other.”
“I’m not talking to him Hana.” You said forcefully.
She sighed and got up, defeated. After a few minutes she came back with a huge smile.
“Oh my gosh __________ I need to tell you something!” 
“What?”
“We need to go somewhere private. No one else can hear,” She said tugging you from the couch.
You tried asking her questions as she dragged you but Hana wouldn’t budge.
She opened a door that revealed to be a closet and said, “Perfect. Let’s go in here.”
Hana pushed you in the closet and closed the door behind you two.
“Okay what’s going on Hana?”
She glanced at her phone as if she were waiting for a text or something, “oh um so...Jungkook told me that he loves me.”
“Really? Oh my gosh! Well, how do you feel about it?”
“Oh I told him I loved him back.”
“Did you mean it? Do you actually love him?”
“Of course! He’s kinda stupid but he’s so caring and he loves me so much.”
You wrinkled your eyebrows, confused, “Okay so what’s the problem? Why did you drag me into a closet to tell me this?”
Her phone buzzed, “I’ll be right back __________. Jungkook just texted me. Just stay right here, don’t leave.” She said as she left the closet, leaving you in the darkness.
You tapped your foot impatiently wondering what Hana was up to.
You heard hurried, rushed voices and then the door of the closer swung open. You heard a very familiar deep voice exclaim, “What the fuck Jimin? Why are you pushing me Into this closet?” 
The closet door slammed shut. 
You rolled your eyes, “You have got to be fucking with me.”
“___________?” Taehyung asked from the darkness next to you. 
You banged on the door, “Hana I swear to god let me out right now.”
You heard her muffled voice, “No! You guys need to talk!”
Taehyung pounded on the door next to you, “Jimin I’m not fucking around. Open the door. Now.”
Jimin's voice sounded strained, “I’m sorry guys! But this is good for you! You guys need to figure your shit out.”
You sighed, leaning against the door, “I hate both of you.”
Taehyung whispered out hoarsely, breaking the silence “This is your fucking fault.”
You turned to face him, shocked at his accusation, “My fault? How is this my fault? You were the one being a complete douchebag!” 
“You dumped your drink on me!” Taehyung exclaimed, pulling at his now blue stained shirt. 
You stabbed your finger in his chest,“You were the one who was being rude first!”
“You went out with my best friend!” 
You went quiet. What? Is he talking about Jimin? That was a while ago and even so, he has no right to care about who I go out with!
“Are you talking about Jimin?” You asked, annoyed.
“Who else posted you on their story with heart captions?” he scoffed.
“First of all, it's none of your business who I spend my time with. And second, not that it even matters, Jimin and I are just friends.”
He taunted, “Yea I’ve heard that one before.”
“Why the fuck do you even care Taehyung? We aren’t together, we aren’t even friends.”
He paused, trying to think of an answer, “Whatever. I don’t care. Do whatever you want. I just thought you were better than that.”
“Better than what? I'm so confused. I dont get why you are so angry with me. If anything, I'm the one who has the right to be angry right now.”
“You? Why do you get to be angry?”
“Because you broke my heart! And you're shoving it in my face. You're literally mocking my feelings. First you told me that my first kiss didn't matter, that it was only a kiss and I was making too much of it. And now you're here with Jennie, asking me if I feel jealous of her! Like how the fuck should I respond to that? All of your shitty actions made me realize that you don’t give a fuck about me and my feelings. I’m moving on from you Taehyung. You don’t want my love so I’m trying to move the fuck on. Isn’t this what you want?” You gasped out, holding back the tears forming in your eyes. You just had to let it all out, all of your hurt feelings that had been building up for the past couple of months. 
He wasn’t looking at you, just staring at the wooden floors of the closet, “I dunno. I just never thought you would just start talking to new guys already. I thought you wanted love.”
“I’m not the romantic you think I am. I’m not looking for someone to make me complete or to make me feel like I’m worth something. I am complete on my own and I know my worth. I just want to be with someone who can give me the same amount of love and appreciate I have finally figured out how to give myself.”
He made eye contact with you finally, “So what, we’re just going to cut each other off? Completely? Don’t you want me?”
You breathed out, leaning against the door, “I want you but I want you to want me too. I fucking miss you all day every day and you can’t even imagine how pathetic it makes me feel because I don’t even know if you miss me back.”
His shoulder brushed against yours, his voice hoarse, “I've been a shitty friend. I'm sorry. I am really, really fucking sorry. We shouldn’t have kissed. I shouldn’t have kissed you. I don't regret it but I regret what it did to us. I regret how I acted afterwards. I’m so immature. I don't have feelings for Jennie. The only reason why I came tonight is because she told me you were coming. And I knew I just had to see you. But then when I saw you with Jimin, I just felt so jealous. Because that should have been me, we should have been here tonight, hanging out. But I fucked up. You told me you wanted those moments to be meaningful and I stole it from you. And that can’t be replaced. You deserve better than me, okay? But I want you back. I want us to be friends again. Because I’m fucking falling apart without you. I miss you so much. Please, can you forgive me? Can we be friends again?”
You looked into his huge brown doe eyes and your heart did a flip flop. Fuck I still love him. Even though pretending to not love him was exhausting, completely having him out of your life hurt a thousand times worse. God you were the biggest headass on the planet. 
You cringed at your own words, “Yea Tae, we can be friends.” 
He pulled you into a huge hug and didn't let go. You could feel your heart breaking in your chest, you could never tell him how much he’s hurt you. 
———————————————————————————————————
You felt like you were getting a literal migraine because of the deja vu you were experiencing, again. Pretending to be friends with Taehyung while secretly pining for him. It had been around a month or so since you two had reconciled and agreed to be friends again. 
But you still found yourself staring at him for too long when you sat at the picnic benches to do work, you still found your heart beating too fast whenever he would lean in close to you, you still found yourself in love with him. 
However, it was different this time because there was no ‘what if’ or ‘maybe’. He didn't love you the way you wanted him to. If you were going to be honest, you did appreciate knowing this. It made it easier to try to move on. Taehyung did have one thing wrong: you weren’t talking to new guys. Your method of moving on consisted of trying to remember the hurt things he did to you to stop yourself from falling further in the pit of despair. But for him, you could pretend like you were happy when you were actually sad; for him, you could pretend like you were strong when you were actually hurt. 
You were pretty sure he thought you didn't love him anymore. He acted completely normal around you, going on as if you two hadn’t had the biggest fall out in your friendship. It helped, you guessed, pretending. It was something you were both good at. 
You were sitting on your bed when your phone buzzed. It was a snap from Taehyung. You opened and groaned when you saw his snapchat. Taehyung had the infuriating habit of sending suggestive snaps. It was almost always a blurry selfie, very clearly indicating that he was shirtless (he told you he didn't see a reason to wear a shirt if he was in the comfort of his own room). You couldn’t help but feel your heart skip a beat when you caught a glimpse of his well defined collarbones. It was so on brand of him, to tease you like this. Luckily, he did have something actual to say and it wasn’t just a shirtless snap. 
He added the caption r u busy Saturday.
There was a nagging thought in your head that you had something planned on Saturday but you couldn’t remember. 
You snapped back a picture of your ceiling uhh I don’t think so.
Right away he responded (with another blurry selca) come to the soccer banquet w me
Oh shit. The soccer banquet. You had completely forgotten. Jimin had told you about the banquet last week while you two were waiting for biology class to start. He asked you if you wanted to go with him. You said maybe but Jimin told you that Taehyung was planning on asking you. Going with Jimin immediately sounded like a better option. You really just wanted to maintain some sort of distance from Taehyung, it made it easier to ignore the heartbreak. You ended up agreeing to go with Jimin as friends. 
you typed i kinda forgot but jimin actually asked me to go w him and i said ok.
he sent a clear picture of his face, his curly hair looking very fluffy oh, ok. have fun.
Fuck he was definitely mad. You nervously bit your lip, thinking if you should go with Taehyung and cancel with Jimin. 
You: taehyung just asked me about Saturday. He seemed kinda annoyed that I was going w u
Jimin: ah that makes sense. I just walked into the kitchen and he was eating my leftover dumplings.
You: I don’t want him to be upset. 
You: ugh maybe I just won’t go
Jimin: he just gets pouty sometimes it’s not a big deal
You: what if he shows up w a date? idk if i wanna see that
Jimin: it'll be ok. He might not even go anymore. I’ll tell u if he says anything 
You tried to occupy yourself with homework and studies so you wouldn’t frantic over the banquet. By the time the banquet day rolled around, Jimin heard nothing from Taehyung. He tried to reassure you that there was little chance Taehyung would actually show up since he hadn’t talked to any of the BTS members about it.
Hana also tried to calm your nerves as she helped you get ready but she had to leave you a bit early so she could help Jungkook (apparently the man was incapable of knotting a bowtie). She told you that she would finish her makeup and get dressed at his room so she would see you there.
You stared at yourself in the mirror, trying to think in positive thoughts. You were attempting to follow through on your mindset change and trying not to only focus on your insecurities. You combed through the loose waves in your hair, adjusting your soft pink tulle skirt. Jimin texted you that he was outside so you left your room quickly, just wanting for this night to be over already. 
He flashed his gorgeous smile at you, opening the car door for you, “You look so pretty __________.”
You gave him a weak smile, knowing he was just saying that to be nice, “Thank you Jimin. You look good too. I like your sunglasses.” 
He walked around to the other side of the car and drove to the banquet. Once you got there, you realized this event was insanely fancy. Since the BTS guys won the championship, they were essentially the guests of honor, with a few other teams receiving recognition for their own achievements. Jimin explained to you the different awards that would be presented tonight and told you a bit about the other teams. When he kept on droning on about the different roles of the midfielder position, you glanced around the large hall, a bit bored from Jimin’s monologue when you spotted him. I thought he wasn’t coming! He was alone, hands shoved in his pocket, walking coolly.
You internally groaned when you felt your heart skip a beat when you saw his fluffy hair. He was wearing black slacks, a soft pink collared shirt, and a white coat jacket with a black carnation pinned to it (191029 Taehyung). Once again, your thoughts immediately ran to “oh shit he’s hot.” His eyes met yours for a split second and you pretended not to see him, turning to listen back into Jimin’s lecture on soccer. 
After 15 more minutes of explaining the technicalities of shooting a goal, Jimin patted your shoulder softly, “I’ll go get us some drinks. I’ll be back.” 
You nodded at him and looked for Hana. You saw her sitting at a table with Jungkook so you walked over, not wanting to bump into Taehyung. 
“Hey!” She said giving you a hug. Hana looked stunning as always. She was wearing a deep red, long silk dress with a slit running from Her upper thigh.  You saw that Jungkook's bowtie matched her dress. 
You smiled at her, “How do you get prettier Hana? It’s not fair for the rest of us plebs.”
“Shut up. You look gorgeous. Trying to impress someone tonight?” She said teasingly, looking in the direction of Jimin.
You chuckled “oh no. We’re just friends. He asked me here as friends.”
She looked unconvinced, “Rightt.” 
You heard a voice go “ahem” behind you. You turned around at the sound of the familiar voice and saw Taehyung smirking at you. 
“Hey _________”
“Oh. Hey. “ You said nonchalantly.  
“Where’s Jimin?” Taehyung's eyes sparkled mischievously .
“He went to go get me a drink. He’s such a gentleman.” you said, trying to push his buttons a bit. 
He smiled, playing along with your game, “Of course. Except for the fact that he’s never had a steady relationship. And that he’s even more of a fuckboi than me.”
You rolled your eyes, “Taehyung you should probably go back to your date.”
He leaned in close, his breath tickling your neck and whispered huskily “You’re cute when you're jealous.”
Your face immediately reddened and you got up hastily, “Jimin’s probably waiting for me.” 
He pulled your arm back to face him, “If you must know, I came alone tonight. The only girl who I wanted to go with conveniently already had a date for tonight.”
You retorted back, snarkily, “If you must know, Jimin asked me properly, not the day before and through snapchat.”
You stormed away, infuriated at your own feelings and how you easily could fall for his one liners. You found Jimin talking with Namjoon, his girlfriend, and Yoongi. He smiled when he saw you, “Oh sorry. I just got a bit caught up. I have your drink.” He gave you a clear glass with a pink liquid, “It’s punch. No alcohol. Don’t worry.” 
Namjoon was talking about how he did not want to TA for biology lab next semester since the experience was a bit traumatizing, dealing with frantic and stressed out students at very inconvenient hours (you definitely being one of those students). Yoongi berated him for even signing up for such a draining job along with soccer and studies.
You spotted Taehyung from the corner of your eye, slowly inching into the conversation, first talking to Yoongi then Namjoon and his girlfriend. 
You were trying to focus on what Jimin was saying but you found yourself listening in Taehyung's conversation. 
You overheard him talking casually, “Yea I’m thinking about shaving my head. It’s just my hair has gotten way too long and curly. I can’t manage it” 
Your heart stopped. Not the curly hair. You were literally obsessed with his hair, and he knew it.  
You burst out from across the conversation, “Oh my god don’t touch your hair!”
He smirked and winked at you and you closed your eyes in embarrassment: you gave him exactly what he wanted, your attention.
Yoongi laughed “Damn __________ really likes your hair then Taehyungie. Guess you can’t cut it now.”
You felt your face redden even more when Jimin laughed at Yoongi's comment. 
Ugh Taehyung was pushing all your buttons. You walked away, annoyed at his behavior. You found a spot where there were little to no people and leaned on the cool marble wall, just observing the party from a distance. You saw Jungkook and Hana on the dance floor. Once again, you couldn’t help but feel a tad bit jealous. You wanted that and you wanted it with Taehyung. Hana threw her head back in laughter as Jungkook attempted to dance with her. 
“He’s always been shit at slow dancing,” You heard the voice behind you say. You already knew he would come and find you. He must want something otherwise why else would he be following you around like a lost puppy dog?
You didn't bother to look back at him, “Yea this is like the fourth time he’s stepped on Hana’s toes. I'm surprised she hasn’t kicked him in the shins yet.” 
You felt his shoulder brush against yours, “It's bound to happen at this rate.”
You laughed softly about to say something but you found yourself getting interrupted. 
A pretty girl that you didn't recognize came up to you two, extending her hand out to him, “Taehyung right?” 
He smiled sheepishly, shaking her hand awkwardly, “Uh yea. Sorry I don't know who you are. We didn't hook up right?”
She giggled, “No we didn't. I'm actually from Central University.”
“Ooh the rival school.”
She nodded, “Yep. I just wanted to introduce myself. I’m Yuna. If you're ever at Central for a game, you should totally let me know.”
You rolled your eyes, once again you found yourself in a situation where Taehyung was blatantly flirting in front of you. You blew on a dangling strand of hair that covered your eye. 
“Um sure. I'll let you know.”
She put her hand on her hip, “Great. Just dm me on Instagram.” She then walked away, completely ignoring the fact that you were standing right next to Taehyung the entire time. You couldn't help but feel insecure: why would she expect someone like Taehyung to be with someone like you? It didn't make sense. That's why she thought she could flirt with him and pretend like you were completely irrelevant, because you were. 
He looked at you, “Wow that was kinda weird.”
You crossed your arms, “Was it? I mean she just wanted to flirt with you.”
“She was flirting with me?”
You blew on the strand of hair again, “God you're dense.”
He shrugged, clearly not wanting to get into it, “Wanna dance?”
You shook your head, as you began to watch Jungkook and Hana again, “Not interested.”
“Not interested in dancing? Or not interested in dancing with me?”
“Both I guess.”
“So if Jimin asked you to dance, would you say no?”
“Why does it matter if it's Jimin?”
“It's just a question,” Taehyung said defensively. 
Your tone came out accusatory, “If it's just a question, then why do you care so much about the answer? Why are you following me around? Do you want something from me?”
“I don't want anything. I just want to talk to you. I just don't get why you came here with Jimin and not me. Is he your boyfriend or something like I just don't understand. Why did you choose him over me?” 
You looked over your shoulder and you found him staring at the marble, hands shoved deep in his pockets. You wanted to shout “I did choose you but you didn't want me” but you saw the hurt look on his face and simply sighed deeply, “I didn't choose anyone. He just asked me first.”
“Okay.” He paused for a moment then looked at you, “I'm sorry for being pushy.”
“I’m sorry too. I'm just tired. I didn't really wanna come here tonight. And I guess I feel kinda shitty.”
He looked up, “Why?”
You spoke softly, “I didn’t get to come here with the guy I really wanted to.”
Taehyung’s eyes met yours and the corner of his mouth lifted up in a smirk, “There's my strawberry girl.” 
You rolled your eyes at him, “You're so annoying.”
“Nope. I heard it. You said I was your first choice. You must not really think I'm annoying.”
“I think you are extensively annoying.”
“Hey! At least I didn't throw gatorade all over you.”
“I already said sorry for that! And for your information, it was blue hawaiian punch and sprite. And Hobi made it. So if anything you should be getting mad at him.”
“Alright, next time I see him, I'll throw blue hawaiian punch at him.”
“Go ahead. I will not be stopping you. But I will also not be responsible for him dislocating your shoulder.” 
He winced in pain as he rolled his shoulder, “Ugh, he doesnt need to that since I already dislocated the stupid thing myself.”
You wrinkled your eyebrows in concern, “Why? What happened? What did you do?”
He laughed nervously, “Well, Jimin was trying to teach me how to do like a front roll and I kinda ended up putting too much weight on my right shoulder and it fucking hurts every time I move it.” 
“Did you go to the nurse? Did you ice it? Have you taken tylenol or ibuprofen?”
“Um, no, no, and no”
“What the fuck Taehyung! Why didn't you do anything? Did you not tell anyone?”
“Uhhh, no I didn't tell anyone”
You punched his left arm, “Why not?”
“Ow! Don't dislocate the other one!” he rubbed his arm where you punched him, “Because…I didn't want anyone to worry.”
“Well I'm worrying right now!”
Then he had the audacity to give his boxy smile to you, “I know and it's honestly pretty adorable.”
You crossed your arms and scoffed, “Oh my god, you are insufferable.” 
“It's not a big deal ___________ .I'll be fine.”
You asked, “Are you in pain right now?” 
He massaged his shoulder and winced again, “Eh it's fine. I can manage.”
You pulled his arm, “Cmon lets go. Let me take a look and see if it's actually dislocated and if it's bad we can go to the nurse tomorrow.” 
“Where are we going?” he said trailing behind you.
“Lets just go back to your dorm. It's closer and I'm betting you have more medicine than I have.”
You made your way through the crowd before remembering that you should probably tell Hana you're leaving, “Uh Taehyung, can you get the car and meet me by the front? I just need to say bye to Hana really quick”
He nodded and let go of your hand.
You glanced around the hall and saw Hana by the drinks with Jungkook and some of the other guys. 
You walked over to her, “Hey Hana! Im gonna leave now.”
She looked around and then giggled, “Ooh are you leaving?”
You nodded, not sure what she was trying to imply.
She laughed again, wriggling her eyebrows, “Are you going to leave with him?”
“Um..” You didn't want to tell her that you were leaving with Taehyung because she would not let you do that but you didn't want to lie to her, “Uh um actually I j-“
She cut you off, “Oh my gosh I'm so excited for you. Jimin is so sweet. Have fun!!” 
You thought about clarifying the situation to her but it was whatever now. You would explain in the morning. 
As you walked away, you turned around and saw Hana smiling widely and Jungkook giving you a thumbs up. God this is so embarrassing. But you didnt know what was worse: having them think you were going to have sex with Park Jimin when you really weren’t or having them realize you were going with Taehyung, your unrequited love. 
You walked out of the building and found Taehyung in his car, waiting for you. You quickly got in, not wanting anyone to see you and he drove away. 
He pulled up to the frat house and he led you to his room. For once, you didn't feel anxious. You were only here to see if his shoulder was okay. And then you would leave to go to your dorm. And not think about how much you wanted to kiss him. 
You raided their medicine cabinet and found some Tylenol and some muscle pain reliever cream. 
You re-entered his bedroom and saw him facing his closet, back towards you.
Your mouth went dry when he took off his white coat and began to unbutton his shirt. He removed his shirt to reveal his honey colored skin. 
You quickly looked away when you heard him unzipping his pants. God why is he so comfortable with taking off his clothes in front of me? You tried to distract yourself with your phone but you couldn’t help but peak. He pulled on a plain navy blue short sleeved shirt and remained in his forest green boxers. He walked over, messing with his curly hair, and sat down on the edge of the bed, right next to you. Now you started to feel your heart pound again, his closeness was making it hard for you to stay calm. You hated the effect he had on you. He could make you nervous without even trying. 
Taehyung spoke, chuckling, “Are you okay? Your cheeks are kinda pink.”
“I’m fine. Now let me just see your shoulder.” 
You slowly pressed on his shoulder and he groaned in pain. You bit your lip, thinking about what to do. 
“Can you um take off your shirt? I just want to see if th-“
He excitedly took it off, “You don't have to ask me twice.”
You couldn’t help but roll your eyes. You tried to focus on his shoulder and not get distracted by his really attractive body. You scanned his shoulder and found a huge bruise on the back of his shoulder. 
“Okay so good news I don’t think it's dislocated. There's just a huge bruise here. Which I cannot believe you didn’t notice since it’s the size of my hand.”
“Well your hand is small so..”
“Shut up. Anyways, I think you just have to leave it and let it heal on its own. You can put this cream on and it can help with the pain and also take Tylenol.”
“Can you put the cream on me? Please?” he whined.
“God you're so an-“
“I know I know I'm annoying. Now pleaseee!”
You put some of the cream on your hand and put it on his shoulder. 
“Done.”
“You didn't even rub it in!”
You really were not interested in rubbing your hands all over his chest, “Taehyung, can't you just do it?”
“It's literally on my back I can't reach it! Pleaseee!”
You huffed, annoyed at his puppy dog eyes that could literally convince you to do anything. You slowly rubbed the cream on his shoulder, trying hard not to think how soft his skin felt, how toned his body was, and how his body was literally radiating so much heat, making your entire face flush.
“Your hands are literally so soft __________. I should hire you to do massages for me.”
You chuckled nervously, trying to hide your blushing face, “Well for you it would be $1000.”
You wiped your hands on a napkin, “Anyways, I should go. I'm sure you’ve got someone to meet.” You started to get up, but he pulled you back next to him.
“I have nothing to do. Just sit with me. We never hang out anymore. I mean it's usually never just the two of us.”
Why the fuck does he have to do this? Why is he still acting so flirty? Doesn't he know it hurts me? 
You felt the anxiety building up in your heart, you just really, really fucking wanted to get over him. You sat on the bed, a little too close to him for your taste.
“Can I tell you a secret _________?” he said leaning back on his bed, pulling on his shirt.
“What?”
He gave you his iconic teasing smirk, “You were my first crush.”
He was yours too. Kinda pathetic right? You loved him since 3rd grade and here you are, so many years later, still in love with him.
“I didn't know that,” you said, adjusting your sitting position. You rested your head comfortably against the headboard, crossing your legs.
“Yep, I had a crush on you in second grade. And third grade. and also fourth. Then in 5th grade, all the boys collectively decided girls were gross so I had to pretend I didn't like you.” He said, scooting so his shoulder was pressing against yours.
You chuckled, “I remember that. You told me I had cooties and that we couldn’t hang out anymore.”
“Yea I was kinda stupid then.”
“Just then?” You said teasingly.
He ruffled his hair, “Okay I’m still kinda stupid. But I got better with girls.”
You felt a pang to your heart. He got better with girls and fell out of his crush for you because he probably came to the not so surprising conclusion that there were so many other pretty girls. Obviously his crush on you was because you were just children, nothing that actually meant anything real. His feelings for you were absolutely none existent now. You had to keep reminding yourself of that. 
“Is that why you used to pick flowers from the neighbor’s garden for me?” You said, recalling your younger days with Taehyung
He nodded, laughing “Yea I didn't really know how to impress you but I noticed you would always talk about how pretty their flowers were. And thus the romancing began.”
“I appreciated the flowers for sure, not so much all the teasing.” You were fiddling with your hands, recalling how Taehyung used to pull at your braids or do stupid things like get detention just to get your attention.
Taehyung shrugged, “Don't you know ____________ that's how boys flirt. They tease the girls they like, just so they can see them blush and smile.”
“Hmm I guess. Jungkook did that to Hana a lot, and he honestly still teases her. it's so cute.” 
“Hey! Whenever i tease you, you just punch me or call me fucking annoying.”
“It's different.” 
“How?”
“Cause you're not flirting with me. You're just teasing me cuz we’re friends. So its different.”
“What if I told you that I tease you to see that cute blush on your face?”
This was getting too much. You couldn’t take it. He was doing the same exact shit again. You couldn’t handle being his friend if he was going to act like this. You knew Taehyung was a naturally flirty person but it was different now. You had actual feelings for him and he didn't so all of this teasing and flirting was just shoving your heartbreak back into your face. If this friendship was going to last, you needed to set some boundaries with him. The old you wouldn't have done this. Before, you would have just brushed it off, ignoring all of his flirty comments. But you were going to put yourself and your feelings first now. 
You spoke seriously, “Taehyung, I can't be your friend if you're going to act like this. You can't flirt with me okay? Friends don’t flirt with each other. Friends are just friends and nothing more. This is what you wanted so please make this easier for me.”
The mischievousness and the dangerous flirtiness disappeared replaced with your weakness, his innocent huge doe eyes, “Oh. I'm sorry. I didn't realize.”
You stared at your hands in your lap, “It's okay.”
You looked at him and gave him a reassuring smile. Taehyung slowly bit his lip and leaned his face close to yours, “Do you still like me?”
You were taken aback by his closeness, “Of course I like you, I mean we are still friends.”
He leaned in even closer, his nose touching yours, his breath tickling your neck, “No, I mean do you like me, like me? Are you still in love with me?”
Your heart was beating out of your chest, you felt like you couldn’t breathe, he was so close to your face. You couldn’t lie to him, he would know right away. Looking deep into his eyes, you softly nodded.
He broke into his boxy grin and licked his lips, his gaze dropping to your lips, “Good, because it will make this a lot easier.” 
Then he kissed you. Hard. He pushed you into the pillows on the bed, his legs planted on each side of your hips, his body pressing into yours all while kissing you deeply. Your entire body was electrified, buzzing. It felt so good again, so comforting, so natural. One of his hands traveled to your face, cupping your cheek while the other pressed into the curve of your waist. Your hands immediately twisted into his curls. His lips were warm and soft, just like you remembered. He softly bit your lower lip and you gasped, providing him an opportunity to slip his tongue into your mouth. You couldn’t help but moaned against his mouth when you felt his tongue. Taehyung rasped into your ear, sending shivers through your body, “Fuck you’re beautiful.” He pushed his chest against yours, kissing you deeper as if he was trying to get closer.
You broke the kiss, the flavor of strawberry still tingling on your lips, completely out of breath, your heart hammering. You looked up at him hovering above you, his lips swollen from kissing you, “Tae, what..? I’m confused. I cant be your fuck buddy or something. I have feelings for you and I know you don't lo-“
He stopped your sentence by kissing your lips softly and slowly. He pulled away slowly, his eyes dancing with excitement. He kissed your cheek sweetly. He spoke, his voice deep and melodic, “I love you ____________”
Your eyes widened in disbelief, you laughed nervously as you sat up properly, “No, no, you don't love me Taehyung. You don't have feelings for me. You told me that.”
He settled next to you as he took your hands in his, “I told you that I was confused and that I wasn’t sure. I never said that I didn't have any feelings for you.”
You shook your head, remembering what Hana told you, “Taehyung if you said you were confused, it means you didn't have feelings. People say they are confused when they are trying to be nice. If you had real feelings for me, then you wouldn’t be confused, you would know that.”
His words came out as a whisper, “I know it now. I know I love you. All these years, I grew to be in love with you and I think I fell in love with you but I didn’t realize it until you told me how you felt. I realized once you weren’t in my life anymore, everything felt different. I didn’t realize I loved you until I did. And I don’t love the idea of you. I love you. Your smiles, your laughs, the way you say fuck in every sentence, The way you call me headass. I love you more than you could possibly understand.”
For the first time, you were completely speechless. You looked around and blinked a few times just to make sure that you weren’t in a dream. Actually what would be worse is if he took it all back. Just like how he did with the first kiss. You were literally on cloud 9 and then he broke the reality to you that he didn't have feelings for you.
He spoke again “I don't know if this is too much right now but if you want I can give you space. i can give you time. I can give you all the time in the world because I'll wait for you.  Cause frankly the way that I see it, you and me? We’re Inevitable.”
 Your hand came up to his cheek, “Taehyung, are you being serious? Are you telling me the truth right now? Do you actually love me? I just…I don't know what I would do if you didn't mean every word you just said right now.”
“I'm sorry _________. I was scared of my feelings. That's why I acted the way I did. The way I feel about you is like nothing I’ve felt before, so I was scared. And I was confused. But I do love you. Everything that happens to you matters to me. You're worth everything and more to me. And I want this. I want you. So badly.”
Your heart swelled, you couldn’t think properly not only because he kissed you but also because of his confession that you waited for since high school. You cupped his cheek and whispered hoarsely, “Kiss me…please.” 
Taehyung then rolled on top of you, pinning you underneath him. He gave you a smirk that made your heart skip a beat and pressed his soft lips against yours once again. He went slowly this time as if he were trying to memorize your lips. Your hands wrapped around his neck, trying to bring him closer to you. The hand on your waist traveled to the outside of your thigh and he slowly wrapped your leg around his waist, pushing his body into yours. He pushed his tongue into your mouth eagerly, and his hand on your leg slowly traveled up your body just until his thumb grazed the underside of your breast. You unconsciously arched up into his touch as your breath hitched at the contact, never having been touched there before. He growled softly, “Fuck, you’re such a good girl.” 
You whimpered as you melted against his plushy lips. His lips left yours as he softly kissed your jaw. Your heart began to pound, you knew where this was going but you were scared. You had never done this before and he had dozens of times with much more beautiful girls. Your anxiety began to crawl over your mind and you exhaled uncomfortably. He felt your body tense so he removed his lips from your jaw. 
He spoke softly, “Hey, are you okay? We don't have to do anything. We can just sit on the bed and chill.”
You tried to control your breathing, “No it's not that. I want to but…I'm nervous. i've never done this before. and you have. a lot. with much more pretty girls. I just…I’m scared..I have no idea what I'm doing.”
Taehyung kissed your cheek, then your forehead, then your lips. He looked deep into your eyes, “You’re beautiful, you know that? Like ridiculously stunning. It's honestly not fair. But I also want you to know I love you for you. The way my heart skips a beat when you talk about what you're passionate about, the way you know what exactly to say to me, the way you aren’t afraid of calling people out on their bullshit. You're my dream girl. Also don't worry about not knowing what to do.  Let me take care of you.”
You nodded softly, your heart completely elated at his words. You had never felt like this before, so loved, so wanted, so warm, “Okay.”
 He slowly began to trace his lips along your jaw and neck, sucking and biting softly with the hot and open mouth kisses. Your mind was completely hazy as you sighed deeply, heart racing. You heard him whisper “mine” into your skin in between kisses and soft bites. 
He made his way back to your lips. You uncontrollably moaned into his lips when he licked into your mouth. Taehyung groaned softly, “Fuck you taste so good.” He bit on your lower lip again when his hips pressed into yours. You moaned his name breathlessly, your cheeks completely red, feeling embarrassed at how desperate you sound. 
He stopped kissing you for a moment and you realized you were completely out of breath. You looked up at him, his pupils were completely blown, his curly hair a mess, a glint of adoration in his eyes. You tugged at his shirt, “Can you take this off?”
Taehyung kissed your forehead, “Of course princess.” He pulled off his shirt and looked at you with his sincere eyes, “Whenever you want to stop, we can stop, tonight is about you.”
You nodded, knowing he would immediately pause whenever you started to feel nervous or anxious. Your words tumbled out when you saw his defined golden body, “You're so hot”
He immediately cupped your face, pulling you in for a needy kiss. He broke away for a moment, “I’ve waited so long to hear those words from you.”
You smiled shyly, “I've always thought you were hot. I just never wanted to tell you.”
He kissed you softly, “What else do you like about me? What do you love about me?”
You tried to hide a smile, looking up at him, “um..”
He gave a fake gasp, “Um?!”
Your cheeks twinged red and you began to ramble, “Sorry! I know what I love about you but it's hard for me to pinpoint. I love just everything. Your personality, you're so kind and sweet and gentle and you make me feel like I matter. You listen to me, like actually listen and care. I mean you're the one I think about as I lie awake at night. I also love how yo-“
He cut you off with a kiss and pulled away delicately, “You are so cute.”
You anchored one of your hands in his hair and one around his neck, pressing your lips against his, warmth coursing through your body. Your eyes rolled back as his hips rolled against yours. He whispered, his voice low and husky, “Fuck, you’re so needy for me.” He continued to place open mouth kisses on your lips, his hands remaining your waist, pressing into your body. 
You trembled as you moaned breathlessly when you felt his fingers slip underneath your shirt, skimming  the waistband of your underwear. You couldn’t stop panting into his mouth. you felt his breath tickled your neck, nipping gently, when he praised, “You're being so good for me.”
You were completely intoxicated in his touch, sucking on his bottom lip, responding to his praises with soft moans of his name, with one leg of yours wrapped around his waist.
“Tae.”
“Yes princess?”
“I want you.”
“You have me.”
“No I want you, want you.”
His eyes blinked in realization of what you were saying. He kissed your lips softly again, one hand on your cheek, the other twirling your hair, “Are you sure?”
“Yes”
“Just because you say yes now doesn’t mean you can't say no later. So whenever you want to stop, we stop.”
You nodded, reassuring him you would definitely let him know if you wanted to stop. But you knew you wouldn’t want to. You had wanted this so badly for so long. You trusted him completely, he was your best friend and the only guy you had ever loved. 
Taehyung flashed his boxy smile at you. He tilted your chin as he kissed you deeply. He spoke in his deep voice, sending trembles through your body,  “I can’t wait to fucking wreck you.”
———————————————————————————————————
You tapped your foot impatiently, waiting by the entrance of the building, leaning on the cream colored column. 
He was late. Of course he was late. Even though you reminded him this morning about your plans together. You looked at your phone for the third time in the past ten minutes. No text yet.
You heard the rumblings of thunder, indicating it was going to rain soon. You sighed and stepped into the building, tired of waiting for him. You placed your purse in the x-ray and stepped through the scanner. You walked around and found a bench in front of a large photograph depicting two modestly dressed women looking at each other on beige steps. You stared at the photograph for a few minutes, wishing that the person who would appreciate it the most was here next to you. You felt a tap on your shoulder so you looked to your right and then heard his voice from your left, “Hi.”
You crossed your arms, annoyed, “You're late.”
His curly hair was messy, and he was still breathing heavily as if he just ran all the way here. He sat down next to you and he kissed your cheek, “I know, I know. I'm sorry. I got caught up with Jimin. We were playing smash and then I forgot about the time.”
“Taehyung, I planned this because it was something you were excited about.”
He cupped your cheek, “I know and I thoroughly appreciate it. You're way too good for me.”
You couldn’t help but blush, “Shut the fuck up. I'm mad at you.”
“Aww you're adorable.” he smirked at you, “Nice hickey, by the way,” 
You gasped, clasping your hands over your neck. You felt your face heating up, scandalized by his actions,  “Taehyung! I told you not to make it so visible. This is so embarrassing.”
“Sorry but not really. I like seeing you blush.” He tugged on your arm, lifting you up from the bench, “Now c'mon, lets go look around. It's not everyday I get to walk around a photography museum with my girlfriend.”
After spending a few hours walking through each and every exhibit in the museum, you were thoroughly exhausted. Taehyung held your hand as you walked out of the museum. It was getting dark, with the soft light of the street lamps giving a warm glow. it was sprinkling, giving the air a cool misty tinge. 
Taehyung sat on the wooden bench facing the gardens outside the museum, and pulled you onto his lap. It started to rain harder but the pitter patter of the rain drops on the cobblestone was comforting, reminding you of home. He looked at you with his huge eyes that were sparkling in the dim moonlight. 
You smiled, “What?”
He returned your smile, “Nothing. I just can't believe I get to date my best friend.”
You tried to hide your smile, “You're so mushy.”
He leaned in close to you, “What? I can't say romantic things to my strawberry girl?”
You pressed your lips against his, warmth coursing through your body. He whispered softly, “Your lips are so soft, I could kiss them all day.”
You smiled against his lips, kissing him once more.
“___________”
“Yes?”
“I want you to know, It was always you. You’re my beginning and my end.”
You rested your forehead against his, feeling his hands planted on your hips, “From the moment you called me strawberry girl, I knew it was always you.”
Taehyung looked at you with concern in his eyes, “Are you sure?”
“Sure about what?”
“About loving me.”
You leaned away to study his face, “Of course I’m sure. Why do you ask?”
“I’m scared...that you might love me now but in a few years you might hate me...you might fall out of love with me...that you won’t want me anymore. What happens if you see a side of me that makes you not want me anymore? I can’t help but wonder what I will do if you don’t want me.” 
You cupped his face in your hands, speaking seriously, “I’ll always want you. I’ll always love you. I always have loved you. Even when we fight, even when we say horrible things to each other, we somehow always make our way back to each other. I know you, I’ve seen every side of you good and bad and I want it all.”
He held your hands that were pressed against his face and said gently, “It’s kinda hard for me to put into words but I love you in ways I have never loved anyone else.”
You rested your forehead against his, letting the rain tickle your cheeks as your lips pressed against his.
author’s note: i love the rain aesthetic; its so comforting and romantic (esp the idea of kissing in the rain) anyways thank you to everyone for reading. i really, really never thought anyone would be reading my writing, much less relate and invest in strawberry girl so thank you to everyone who has been following along w the story! i wanted to make the mc as realistic as possible and insecurities is something that we all have to face. bts has been such an important symbol of self love and im so thankful for that bc theyve changed the lives of so many armys! im rambling lol ty for reading and i hope you all enjoyed the final part of strawberry girl. 🥺💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

SMOKESTACKS | 8, AIN'T THAT THE TRUTH
previous post
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"SO WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU and my son?" Gemma's question comes while the two are stood in the canned food section of the store they met in. Nadine drops another can of pineapples into the cart and moves along, watching as Gemma grabs more stuff.
Nadine rolls her eyes, "You tell me, Mrs. Matchmaker." When she sees Gemma's annoyed look, she continues, "I've been here for two months and you're already butting yourself into my love life. Thought you would give me at least six."
Gemma chuckles, "My son has been a little lonely since his baby momma left two years ago — that Doctor Bitch had some audacity."
Nadine tilts her head away, not really sure if she should be knowing all this, "This isn't my business, Gemma. You can't just —"
"Spring it on you?" The woman comes to a stop in the middle of the cereal aisle, making Nadine stop the cart, "Of course, I can, sweetheart. It's public knowledge around here. If you're gonna make this place your home, you gotta know the ins and outs. I'm just providing a little guidance."
The teacher watches her student's grandmother with narrowed eyes. Thinking it over, she decides that maybe she's right. Maybe she needs to know the ins and outs so she can keep herself protected.
Nadine nods, "So, she was a doctor?"
Gemma smirks at her willingness and continues her walk, "Yeah, she gave birth to Thomas and just left two years later. Said this club shit wasn't for her."
Part of Nadine knew that this isn't the full story. What kind of woman just up and leaves her babies in a life that she wasn't built for? But, there seemed to be more pressing issues, "What kind of club shit?"
Throwing a box of Frosted Flakes into the cart, Gemma diverts her focus to a box of Lucky Charms, "That's not for you to know yet, sweetheart."
The teacher scoffs at her words before diverting the topic, "So, she just up and left her babies like that?"
"Like I said," Gemma hums, "Doctor Bitch."
"Hmm..." Nadine resists the urge to roll her eyes.
Tumblr media
NADINE WAS REGRETTING THE DECISION to follow Gemma around for errands on a Friday evening. Right now, all she wants to do is curl up in a ball at home and watch her favorite shows on Netflix. Instead, Gemma dragged her to the flower store and now the clubhouse.
Nadine was fully aware that Gemma's son is the President of a motorcycle club, she, however, has no clue what they do in said motorcycle club. If anything, she wants to know why Jax's ex just up and left town without her babies.
But, she doesn't want to pry. If she's allowed to know, she'll ask. But for now, she'll live with the information she has.
The sun sinks below the horizon after a day of running around and purchasing things left and right. Of course, not from her pocket. A beautiful hue of California orange illuminates the automotive shop/clubhouse, allowing Nadine to sink into a moment of silence and comfort.
She exits the passenger seat of Gemma's SUV and stands there for a moment, the setting sun glowing against her melanin skin. Gemma had made her way into the clubhouse already, getting prospects to grab the groceries from the trunk, but Nadine asked for a minute. Just to breathe.
She never thought she'd get this far from Ezra, mentally and physically. But here she is, the happiest she's been in a year and a half.
Her thoughts are interrupted by the sound of motorcycle engines rolling into the parking lot. She watches as three men pull to a stop and back into their spots. Propping her sunglasses on the top of her head, the woman catches sight of Jax's bright smile, Opie's shoulder length hair and Tig's dark, curly hair.
She leans back, resting her back against the passenger seat door. Tig passes her with a kiss on the cheek — which she did not expect considering they only met once — and Ope a smile. She smiles in return but Jax can see the clear confusion on her face as he approaches her.
"Yeah, Tig gets attached really quickly." He vouches for his brother with a small smirk at the sight of Nadine still furrowing her eyebrows in his direction. She looks so adorable. Turning back to face him, she gives him a full blown smile. After their talk when he dropped her home from the Halloween party, the two had gotten closer, often texting and calling each other. It's a mutual understanding that this is just a blossoming friendship.
"I can see that," She laughs.
He huffs, allowing a breath of exhaustion to escape him, along with a greeting smile. "Hi."
Tumblr media
"Hi," She says in return, trying not to fawn over his beautiful face. "How was your day?"
He shakes his head and moves to lean against the car with the chocolate-skinned woman, "Could've been better. Heard my mom dragged you all over today — you hate her yet?" He smiles.
Nadine laughs at his words, despite her taking it as a serious question, "Gemma has ears everywhere, Jax, Ion think I should be answering this question."
The biker chuckles, "Fair enough."
A comfortable silence passes between the two, leading Nadine to rest her head on Jax's shoulder. He was tall enough that she doesn't have to completely break her neck, luckily.
She didn't know how exhausting it is to be in the same space as Gemma for hours on end. Which leads her to her next question.
"Are you gonna be at the fundraiser tomorrow?"
Jax nods, "We got some business to handle throughout the day but yeah, we're gonna stop by."
"Thank God," The woman exhales, "I dont think I can spend another entire day with your mother without some kind of sanity."
"Ain't that the truth..."

Tumblr media
It was a normal day for Ashleigh Styleson. Walking to school and zoning out for a few hours. The end of the day was not what I expected at all. Instead of sitting at my desk doing homework I was tied up in the storage room of a gym.
Today I was kidnapped by older (and very sexy) men?
I don;t know why they took me, I don’t even kow who they are. One of them is tallish and blonde and looks like he would play troy bolton in a remake of high school musical. He keeps staring at me and im nervous that my bright blue jeans and band tee paired with my knee high converse aren’t cute enough for him.
Tumblr media
Maybe they wont want me anymore, i wondered. my doubt was quickly replaced when three more men walked in the room. One had blonde hair tied back with a headband and i could just tell he was in charge by the bde he had. The other two were meeker and didn’t really catch my eye, a tall skinny nervous blonde and the only brunette.
“Who are you”
Don’t worry about who we are baby girl just what we can do for you.
“Do for me?”
The one in charge laughed. “Maybe if u are good enough we will let you go home. smothing tells me you are a bad girl tho, maybe its the outfit you are wearing”
My parents did hate this outfit, they said it was too eddgy but i didn’t want to be the preppy bithc of their dreams. No i am hardcore. Punk through and through and obviously these men could tell.
Would that be my escape or downfall?
Do they think my confidence is sexy or annoyin??
a/n definitely sexy. she is so confident and no one can fuck w her
“Do you want to listen to music” he doesnt let me answer before using pandora to open up a one direction station, “hows this”
My eyes almost roll out of my head, “im more of a.. Um 5sos person.. A person w taste”
a/n i don’t hate 1d but being a 1d stan?? couldn;t be me (◔_◔)
Of course you are, because i also love them, and he quickly switches to the beter station.
I can’t help but start to dance in my too tight biinds when good girls play out from his phone.
“If i untine you, will you dance fro us like a good girl?”
Only f you tell me why i’m here
Depends on how good you dance. Theres a daring glint in his eyes and ive never been one to back down from a challenge.
The song flows through ym body and i cant help the way my hips mve in a seductive circle, his eyes zeroed in on my rainbow studded belt. Suddenlyan idea sparks in my mind.
Tumblr media
I might be punk but that doesn’t mean i don’t learn tiktok dances at night for fun. Its one of the only things i can do when my mom grounds me and takes my laptop away. Idk why she doesn’t take my phone but its not like i have a ton fo friends to text anyways
It’s not the right song but i think the moves to the savage dance will work well enough. If i sing savag in ym head i can keep on beat and maybe he’ll like my dance moves. I can’t see how the others stare at my ass while i put on a show for the man in front of me but i wouldn’t care anyways.
When i finish he walks up and whispers in my ear, “those moves aren’t necessarily what i would call good, you wouldnt want your mom to see you shaking your ass infront of a grown men woul you?”
Well i do what i want so if i want to be sexy in front of you then i will. A pout is evident on my face but i take the time hes laughing to check him out in front of me. Hes bigger then all the boys in my grade and theres a warm tingling in my tummy that i don’t recognize.
One fo the men speaks up behind me and says, “ we took you because you are hot.” i blush unwillingly at the compliment from an attractive older man, “and we want you to stay with us” says another.
I pause, leaving ym life behind? The pink bedroom walls and strict annoying parents and school? And instead i get to live with four ripped men who think im sexy and cool? Easiest decison of my life
“Am i living in this gym? Because i need at least a shower and bed and i dont’ see any of that hear..
“Don’t worry kitten you can come bck to our place and sleep in anyone’s bed you want.”

Maybe geting kidnapped isn’t the worst thing thats ever happend to me/ now i dont have to do my math homework and i can probably have my first kiss with one fo these hot dudes.
they take me to thier apartment above a store and before the door even closes the man has his warm muscle shoved down my throat. i don’t know alotbout jissng but i felt like we skipped a few steps! but when the next man came up he’s much gentle with me and it wasn’t long before i was confident and our tongues battles for dominance
the second pair of hands moving on my body from behind only spurred me on to pull the first one even closer. not to mention he was super hot.
the man still at the door had a dark glean in his eyes and commanded me to strip. everyone else looked at me bungryily and i felt like the power shifted in my favor and that my feminine wiles would get me anything i wanted.
maybe i could get used to living like this
a/n this was a dream i had and i wish it was realll!1! where are my sexy men!!!

Tumblr media
"You two put that bag of chocolate right back where you found it." You scolded, pointing at the sneaky little brats that were your Kaito and Kin.
Last time you just went to look at the price of the bread and those defiants almost filled the cart with cookies and other sweets.
"But mommy!" The kids protested while you only arched a eyebrow, Chisaki scoffing while placing some cartoons of juice inside of it.
"Brats listen to your mother for once." He scolded while you turned your back for one second before you catched with a gasp his try of whispering "Go. Place that cherry thing back before she notices."
"TRAITOR!" you jumped on his back with a false irritated yelp while your kids laughed, Chisaki growling while returning to recuperate his balance.
You giggle while Chisaki grabbed onto your waist from behind and gently layed you on the ground, before sending you a hearted glare, definitely one of his devilish smirks behind his mask.
"Right..." you sighed in hopeless, knowing that you always give in to him and your kids "One and only. The maximun."
"YES!" Kaito high fived gently his sister's tiny hand as you saw Chisaki placing one of his favorite sweets back to the cart.
"Then you complain about them being brats." You sighed with a smile while pushing the cart, walking alonsides your husband as the kids prefered to guide the way thorigh the small grocery store.
"But they are. I just merely demanddd that they picked that pantry." He lowered his head a bit to whisper lowly on your ear "Although I have always my favorite sweet by my side."
You yelped with a blush before leaving the cart on his hands as you went to the fruits section, leaving a smirking Chisaki behind while Kaito picked up his tired sister.
Baby didn't liked walking too much.
"Kaito unhand your sister. You might drop her." Kai scolded as he pried the little girl from his son arms to put her on the seat of the cart instead.
"I wasn't!"
"You tried mailing her to Madascar, Alaska and even Germany once. So dropping her would also go to your historic young man." He arched one eyebrow while his son glared back at him but with a pout instead.
"Da! Da!" He felt his daughter weakly tugging on his tie to catch his attention.
"What?"
The girl pointed with a worried yet annoyed look at the front with a frow on her forehead "Mama!"
Chisaki lifted his gaze a bit while his son grabbed onto his dad's pants while both boys darkened their gazr at seing what was in front of them a bunch of meters away.
You were holding some apples before a rather charming young man came up to you and picked your hand while bowing like one gentkeman of his daughter's stupid movies.
The worst? You gasped with a smile and hugged him tightly in response, the man wrapping his hands around your waist as he lifted you up a bit to twirl around with a bright smile.
"Can I hurt him? I want to hurt him." Kaito mumbled while Kin furrowed even more her eyebrows, bottom lip formed trembling on a pout.
"Don't need to. Since I am the oen ending this sick's existence." He growled before shoving the cart in your direction.
"Well you did change a lot (Y/n)." He placed his hand on his chin with a smirk with one eyebrow lifted up in amusement "More prettier than ever."
"Such a charmer aren't you?" You giggled while he patted your head "Too much qork so you couldn't see me more huh?"
"Forgive me. I would actually love such a-"
"MOMMY!" Kaito's voice ranged as he latched himself on your waist, nuzzling a bit on you before sending one of the Chisaki's most famous death glare at the man in front of him.
He merely smiled back, only widening his eyes at bit in shock before looking at you in awe.
"My, dont tell you-"
"Yep." You smiled widely before feeling two pair of golden eyes glaring daggers from behind you.
Kin was making grabby hands at you, and when you picked her up she poked her tongue out at the man.
"Well, two in a roll? The girl totally has your attitude." You gasped in false offense.
"Excuse me?!" He chuckled while you giggled back, feeling your son and daughter hold on you getting tighter while another, yet much bigger, hand circling around your waist.
"Mind explaining what do you want with my wife?" Chisaki growled while you rolled your eyes at that.
Again...
"Get away from my mom. Filth." You called your son's name while he only scoffed and hugged you tighter, still glaring at the man.
"This is what happens when I don't stay much huh?" He smiled before looking at Chisaki, bowing a bit before rubbing the back of his neck "Im sorry, you're (Y/n)'s husband whose she doesn't stop talking about?"
Chisaki merely lifted his eyebrow, scowling at the man while you sended him a look.
"Im her older brother." He laughed "I am always outside of the country so o guess we never git the chance of meeting each other."
"He works as a model and is quite famous out there." You say it after, noticing how his hold on you had lessened A BIT while your childs just made the 'O' face.
"I have one more uncle?" Kaito asked while looking up at you, your brother chuckled even more before crouching down to the kid's level.
"Yep. Nice to see your mommy is always protected by your daddy and you little dude." He made a fist which Kaito only stared at it before hesitantly bumping his little fist on his.
Kin cooed at her uncle, you giggled when you heard something about her muettering how he was pretty and your brother immediately got up, holding his arms in direction of Kin while looking at you and Chisaki for permission.
"No way in-" "Sure." You laughed a bit at Chisaki's death glare while you handed a excited Kin to your brother's arms, but yet Kaito still remained glued to your side as he stared in a certain awe at his other uncle.
"I want him gone." Your husband muttered in anger while you made a horror face at him.
"Kai he is my brother!" You whisper shouted while he scoffed like a brat and crossed his arms, glaring daggers at the man.
"Showing without warning. What a damn brother he is."
Oh god he was jealous of your brother now... come on!

withdrawl
TW: THROW UP, ADDICTION, MENTION OF DEATH, & DRUGS
someone asked for a teenage amelia sick fic and this isn’t really what they asked for and turned out to be more centered toward nancy and derek but hope you enjoy!! and hope everyone’s staying safe!!
“Amelia? Are you okay?” Lizzie asked her fifteen year old sister, who was rinsing put her mouth after throwing up.
“Yeah I’m fine.” Amelia said shakily, she was coming down from her high a lot faster than she had anticipated. Her stash was supposed to get her through until tomorrow afternoon. “Just some food poisoning.”
“Are you sure? Amy you look really pale, and your sweating?”
“I’m fi-“ She wasn’t able to finish her sentence, because of the bile in the back of her throat.
“Oh gosh, you probably got the flu.” Lizzie kneeled down to hold her sisters hair back. As the youngest threw up, her sister was rubbing her back in attempt to comfort her.
“Hey Liz, did you finish the chemistry homework?” Kathleen asked barging into the bathroom focused on the notebook in her hand. “Oh- Amy are you okay?”
“I’m literally fine, just leave me alone guys.” Amelia said hoisting herself off from the floor, almost losing her balance. She made her way to the sink to rinse our her mouth, before barging out of the small bathroom the siblings all shared.
“You can just copy my worksheet. It’s in my backpack.” Lizzie responded.
“Is she okay?” Kathleen asked.
“Flu, probably.”
“Should I call mom?”
“I don’t know, ask Nance she’s in charge since ma is working tonight.” Liz responded slightly bitter. Whenever Nancy was in charge it meant no freedom and a strict schedule, but that was to be expected with her being the oldest. The two left the bathroom and went downstairs to where Nancy was in the study completing the remainder of her homework.
“Amelia’s sick.” Kathleen said walking into the study with her sister.
“What? What’s wrong?” Nancy asked spinning around abruptly in the chair.
“She was throwing up earlier, and she’s pale, sweating, and shaking. I’m guessing the flu.” Lizzie informed her older sister. Nancy sat there for a moment looking contemplative.
“She’s probably withdrawing.” Nancy said bitterly turning back around.
“What?! From what? Amy doesn’t do drugs.” Kathleen asked shocked, she couldn’t imagine her baby sister getting caught up in something like that.
“That new boy she’s been hanging out with is bad news.” Nancy informed her sisters.
“No, Amy wouldn’t do drugs.” Lizzie said unconvinced. “She seems like, sick. Like flu type sick.”
“Fine, let me go check on her.” Nancy got up from the chair, but first went to the kitchen to grab a bowl Incase her sister had to throw up again. Then made her way upstairs to the shared bedroom of the two youngest siblings. The three found Amelia shaking on the bottom bunk. “Are you feeling okay?”
“I’m fine.” Amelia snapped, annoyed with the accusations. “Just leave me alone.”
“Amelia what are you on?” Nancy asked kneeling down to her sisters bed, placing the bowl next to her which Amelia hugged onto tightly.
“I don’t know what your talking about.”
“Mom and everyone in this house maybe oblivious but I’m not what are you on Amy?” Nancy snapped losing her patience. She couldn’t understand why her sister was doing this, their mother tried her very best, and she didn’t know why Amy was trying to make everything ten times more complicated for their mother.
“Oxy.” Amelia whispered, causing Kathleen to gasp. Nancy placed two of her fingers on the youngests wrist.
“Your heart rates pretty fast. We should probably get you to the hospital.” Nancy sighed pushing a strand of Amelia’s hair behind her ear so it was out of the way of her sweaty face.
“No, no. I swear I won’t ever do it again Nancy. And I’m so so so sorry. It’ll never happen again.” Amelia abruptly sat up, once she finished her sentence she wretched into the bowl.
“Amy..” Lizzie started only for her to be cut off.
“It’ll never happen again. Please don’t tell mommy she’d be devastated please.” Amelia begged. Nancy turned around to look at her sisters.
“Okay fine, but if you get any worse we’re taking you to the hospital. And if I ever find out you’ve been doing drugs again I’m telling mom immediately.”
“Thank you.” Amelia appreciatively smiled.
“I can’t watch this. I’m going to go finish my homework.” Kathleen left the room quickly, Lizzie following right behind her. Leaving only Amelia and Nancy in the room.
“What the hell were you thinking?” Nancy asked moving to sit on the bed so she could braid her sisters hair so she didn’t throw up in it.
“I don’t know. Leave me alone. I dont need you here.”
“Too bad I’m staying. Mom can’t survive another death in the this family.”
“I didn’t die Nancy calm down.”
“That’s where your heading.” Amelia rolled her eyes in response. “Let’s get you cleaned up Amy.”
Nancy sighed, she always worried for her little sister. She knew eventually the aftermath of their fathers death would catch up to her, but she wasnt ready for this. She lead her sister into the bathroom, helping her get into the shower and waiting outside the bathroom door until her sister asked for her assistance.
“Where the hall is she?” Derek asked storming through the hallway.
“She’s in the shower.” Nancy responded.
“Lizzie says your not going to tell mom?”
“No, I’m not. She’s gonna be fine Der.”
“And how do you know that?” He asked sliding down against the door so he was seated next to his oldest sister.
“I don’t.” The pair sat in silence until Nancy spoke up again. “I wish dad were here, so mom wouldn’t have to go through this alone.”
“Me too.” Derek sniffled quickly so his sister didn’t realize he started to cry when she brought up their father. “He’d know exactly what to say to keep Amy in line.”
“This wouldn’t of happened if he were still here.”
“It’s kinda weird.” Derek chuckled. “Amy was the one who had spent the less time with Dad but she’s the most like him. In the sense of his stubbornness and his passion.”
“Yeah.” Nancy smiled thinking about her dad. She knew they never talked about their father, but they were on a roll and she had been wanting to talk about their father more. “Are you still mad about what happen?”
“Of course I’m still mad. How could someone just walk into a store and kill someone.”
“No not at the men at dad.” Derek cocked his head looking at his sister confused. “Like maybe if he just gave up the watch, he’d still be here.”
“I never really thought about that.” Derek said slowly, he’d always focused his anger on the men who killed them. He hadn’t even though about that side of the story. The door then flung open sending the two flat on their backs, while an annoyed Amelia rolled her eyes at them and stepped over the pair stumbling her way to her bedroom.
“What are we going to do about Amy?” Nancy asked turning her head to her brother as the two still laid flat on the floor.
“We don’t tell mom. I don’t know how much more she can take. Amy is smart hopefully this withdrawal has scared her enough into never pulling this shit again.”
“And if it doesn’t, and she does this again?”
“Then.” Derek hesitated for a moment. “We’ll figure it out as a family like we always do.”

Chapters: I , II
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
♡Y/n's POV♡
"Ma! Why'd you have to invite him!?" You whined.
"Yah! What was the reason for inviting him huh?" Your grandma backed you up.
"I didn't want to! He invited himself! How could I just say no?" Your mom exclaimed.
You let out a huff. "Fine, I'm also inviting Nari and Minho then." You pulled out your phone.
"Minho?" Your grandma asked. "He's my friend," you replied while dialing his number. "From Busan"
"Aish Busan..." your grandma scoffed. "Those boys from Busan love causing trouble all the time."
You rolled your eyes and heard a voice say hello.
"Hey Minho, you wanna come over for dinner tonight?" You asked.
"Sorry I cant Y/N, I'm kinda busy, remember Mina? She invited me over," he said. You let out a huff.
Mina was this new student the business class which you and Minho were in. They instantly hit it off after meeting.
"You'd choose her over your best friend?" You asked, pouting.
"I'm sorry Y/N, maybe next time. Tell me about it tomorrow though! I have to go now, cya!" And with that he hung up. Now your only hope was Nari.
You dialed her number and almost threw it away when you heard a loud squeal. "Y/N OH MY GOD I'M SO EXCITED." she yelled.
"For what?" You asked, rubbing your ringing ear.
"I'M GOING ON A BLIND DATE," she squealed and you groaned.
"Can you skip this one for me please? I need you to come to my house for dinner," you said, hoping she'd agree.
"No can do sorry, this date is important to me. Chae unnie even helped me get ready! Super rare occasion" She said. "Oops! He's here now, gotta run Y/N byeeee" and with that she hung up on you.
You groaned and tossed your phone onto the couch before plopping onto it yourself.
"Y/N! Can you please run to the grocery store?! We need some things!" Your mom called out from the kitchen.
You groaned for the nth time today and yelled back an okay, going upstairs to fix your rat looking self up before leaving.
°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°
You lugged two large paper bags filled with groceries into your house.
"I'm home mom!" You yelled.
"Finally! Took you long enough," a voice yelled from the kitchen.
"I'm sorry but you asked for so many things-" you paused, wait a second. Who's voice is that? Cause your mom definitely didn't sound like a man.
You walked into the kitchen only to see Chan standing in front of the stove with an apron on. "What're you doing?" You asked with furrowed brows.
"I'm cooking what else." He said and took the groceries from you. You turned to your mom and she just shrugged. "He just came in and asked if he could cook. I let him cause it looked like he really wanted to " she said before continuing to work on a different dish.
You just rolled your eyes and walked upstairs to your room, greeting your little sister along the way and Chan's mom who was in the living room.
Eventually Chan hollered from the dining room, saying that dinner was ready. You and your sister walked downstairs and were hit by an array of different smells.
There were lots of different foods sitting in the table, you saw tteokbokki, bulgogi, kimbap, stir fried noodles and kimchee, rice and so many other foods. 'Did Chan cook all of this???' You thought to yourself as you sat down beside your grandma.
Chan sat in front of you and your little sister sat beside him. Throughout all of dinner everyone had been chatting about everything and anything. You were actually having quite a good time. But then your grandma started nagging about how you weren't eating enough food and about every other little thing which started to annoy you.
Chan and Yuna were messing around when she looked at the two of you. Chan noticed she was less playful and then looked at you guys as well. He didn't miss the look of hurt that flashed across little Yuna's face.
"What's wrong princess," Chan asked the little girl.
"I want grandma to love me like that as well," Yuna sulked.
"Hey its okay princess, she may not show it directly, but she does love you. I bet she loves you a lot!" Chan said in attempts to cheer her up, which he did successfully.
Later on everyone was in the living room chatting away once again over tea while you were working on a project for your business class. Yuna was playing with her dolls and the 3 women were talking so Chan had nothing to do other than annoy you.
"Whatcha doing?" He asked, sitting down beside you and curiously looking at your laptop.
"Project" you merely said without even sparing him a glance, already annoyed by his presence.
"Oh Y/N, could you please throw out the trash?" Your mom asked you. You simply nodded and moved your things aside to go grab the trash.
You walked outside to the big garbage cans you had and threw the bags inside, taking a moment to get some fresh air before going back into your house.
What you didn't expect though, was for everything to turn pitch black all of the sudden and then turn back on. Your eyes widened and you ran into your house to your laptop which was now showing a black screen.
"No no no no no no- please still be there please still be there" you muttered you yourself as you tried to open the file with your project. When you did, nothing you worked on was saved.
"NO! STUPID POWER OUT" You screamed in frustration. "What happened?" Chan asked you. You just glared at him and rushed outside to your porch and sat on the bench, not wanting to deal with him.
But of course Chan followed you outside. "What's your problem? I just asked what happened," Chan asked, irritated that you just walked out on him when he simply asked you a question.
"What's my problem? What's YOUR problem? Cant you just leave me the fuck alone?? Like why're you so nosy? First you come out of nowhere and spill my drink all over me, then you barge into my house lie you fucking own the place and then you-" you rant but were cut off by Chan placing a finger against your lips.
"You know what your problem is? You're always looking in the down side to everything. You're always grumpy and have an attitude towards everything. I haven't done anything bad to you, I simply asked you what happened out of concern and you start yelling about how annoying I am. Come on glasses, like I dont think I've even seen you smile even once yet. Not even once!" Chan exclaims.
"You really should work on yourself glasses, live life to the fullest and stop moping around as if everything's been put onto your shoulders. Have fun while you still can... you never know if tomorrow's gonna come." He added with a bitter smile
You let out a huff and open your mouth to say something but Chan beats you to it.
"You know what, I'm gonna help you change that attitude into something more positive!" He said, snapping his fingers like it was the greatest idea he's had yet. "First, you need to learn to smile. Watch me," he then proceeded to point at the corners of his mouth and smiled.
"Now you try" he says. You go to say something once again but he stops you right away. "Here let me help you," he places his fingers against the sides of your mouth and pushes them up, making you look odd with your furrowed brows and awkward clown smile.
You push his hands off and scoff. "I've smile plenty of times!"
"Name one time you genuinely smiled," Chan deadpanned.
You thought for a moment, opened your mouth and then closed it again, and then opened it again but ended up closing it.
Chan took your lack of answer as your answer. "Exactly," he said with a smug smile, crossing his arms.
"Whatever..." you muttered and looked anywhere but at him.
"Work on that and then we can start the next step of changing that attitude Glasses." He said while standing up. "Oh and by the way, I'll help you out with your project so you can finish faster. Come over to my place at 3pm- actually make it 4pm, I have something to do before that."
You looked up at him with surprised eyes and he gave you a cute smile that showed his dimples. You don't know what came over you but you couldn't help but blush slightly. You were definitely gonna punch yourself for this later.
You looked down and nodded, feeling shy all of the sudden. Chan just laughed before sending you a small salute and bidding you goodbye before walking off to his house.
You watched him leave, his back growing smaller until he was inside his house and out of sight.
"Why the hell was I blushing!?!??!" You whisper yelled to yourself while slapping your cheeks.
You took a deep breath and stood up after a moment, walking back into your house. Chan was doing something to you. But you were determined to not let him get to you.

Mystic Sisters -Ch.7 More & More
Tumblr media
Hikari’s Pov
“Why can't you just tell me?” Yua yelled following me into my room.
“There’s nothing to tell you.” I shrugged sitting at my desk trying to ignore my sister.
“What do you mean? You were hanging out with Haru and probably talking about me.”
“I have better things to do besides talk about you. Haru walked home with me because he saw me walking alone. I wouldn't have been alone if you didn't have to stay after school. ” I said rolling my eyes at her.
“Don't sass me. Tell me what you were talking about. And I don't want you hanging out with him.” she warned.
“Yua I don't have to tell you anything. Haru and I are friends. You can't tell me who I can and can't hang out with.”
“I'm not leaving until you tell me.” she replied, stomping her feet on the floor. I pushed her out of my room and into the hallway even though she protested.
“Now if you're done yelling at me I have homework that I would like to get done before dinner.” I shut the door, slamming it and walked back to my desk. I could hear Yua slam her bedroom door.
Geez what's gotten into her? I thought, sliding into my chair and opening up a box of Pocky. For some reason Yua has been moody and has taken her anger out on me every chance she gets. Yesterday she got mad because I used the last of her shampoo. Before school she was mad because I was wearing her jacket. And now she's upset because Haru walked me home from school.
“Haru you didn't have to walk me all the way home.” I said standing on the front steps.
“It wasn't a problem, it gave us a chance to talk. Plus I dont live that far.” That was true Haru only lived a couple blocks from us. Before Yua walked to where we were standing I could feel her presence.
“Why is he here?” she growled.
“He was just leaving.” I said giving Haru a look. He picked up on my signal and hurried home.
“Yua why are you acting like this? You've been getting mad at me all week for no reason.” she rolled her eyes opening the front door.
I kept trying to talk to her all week but it just ended with her getting mad at me. I started to think that I did something wrong but if I did she would tell me. Right? A few hours later I knocked on Yua’s door.
“Go away.” she said muffled from behind the door.
“Just talk to me please.” I pleaded. She opened the door and gave me a blank stare.
“Did you finally come to tell me why you were with Haru?”
“I told you earlier we walked home together. We stopped at the convenience store for ice cream but that was it.Is Haru the only one you're worried about? What about me? You know you haven't been the nicest to me lately.” I fumed.
“Hikari I don't want to talk to you right now.”
“The same way you wont talk to Haru?” I shot back.
“Why are you always bringing him up? Don't you think it weird you're still friends with my ex?”
“You're the one that keeps talking about him! You're obviously still in love with him.” I yelled.
“Hik-”
“No. Don't talk to me until you figure things out.” I walked back to my room and threw myself on my bed. I loved Yua but I hate when she acts like this. Angrily I grabbed my manga off my desk and read until mom called us down for dinner.
We ate dinner in silence besides our parents asking us a few questions here and there. I guess they picked up on our weird behavior when my dad gave a mom a look.
“Girls, is there something going on? You've been quiet.” Dad asked us. I shook my head no without making eye contact with him.
“Everything is just fine.” Yua replied, glancing over at me while angrily stabbing her chopsticks into her bowl of chicken curry. I pushed my empty plate away from me and stood up annoyed with Yua.
“I'm going to bed.” I hurried to my room before my parents could protest.
I could hear Yua go to her room a few minutes later. Maybe I could try talking to her tomorrow if she wasn’t still mad at me.
I woke up the next morning to find out that Yua had left for school without me. I guess she was really mad. I grabbed my backpack and went downstairs to the kitchen.
“Hi honey.” my mom smiled pouring herself a cup of coffee which was probably her second cup of the day. I smiled back and grabbed an apple from the fruit bowl.
“I'll drop your duffle bag at Hisako’s house on my way to work.” she pulled me in for a bone crushing hug as I tried to take a bite of my apple.
“Mom, I'm just spending the weekend at Hisako’s. You're acting like I'm moving out.” I say muffled. She let me go and laughed.
“Have a good day and text me when you get to Hisako’s. Okay?” I nodded and told her goodbye.
It was a lonely ride on the trade without Yua. When I got to school I peeked inside her classroom only to find she wasn't there either. I saw Hisako talking with a girl and when she saw me she gave me a warm smile. She stepped outside the classroom and ran over to me.
“Have you seen Yua?” She shook her head.
“No she hasn't come in yet. Is everything okay? Is she still mad at you?” I nodded and Hisako opened her arms for a hug. I hugged her back embracing her warmth.
“You didn't walk together?”
“No.” I sighed still in Hisako’s arms while she patted my head.
“Don't worry. She’ll talk when she’s ready. You know you guys always work it out.” I knew she was right. Hisako was comforting. She always knew how to make me feel better. I looked up at Hisako smiling at her.
“Aww you're so cute.” she cooed, pinching my cheeks.
“Why are you like this?” I winned trying to break free.
“Why are you so cute?” she laughed. A group of students walked past us and Hisako pushed me off as her cheeks turned red. I looked to see who the students were and turned back to her laughing.
“Did your crush just see you cuddling me and calling me cute?” I laughed again teasing her.
“Go to class.” she rolled her eyes, walking back into class.
I didn't see Yua all day. I tried texting her but I never got a reply. She was really ignoring me. I peeked over the students looking for Yua as I waited for Hisako by the front gate of school. “She probably went home. Is she really that upset with me?” I thought to myself.
“You still havent talked to her have you?” Hisako questioned. I shook my head and she gave me a reassuring smile.
“She’ll come around eventually. Cmon lets go get snacks for our sleepover.” she said grabbing my hand.
Yua’s Pov
When I got home the first thing I did was run a bath. “This calls for extra bubbles.” I yawned while grabbing the bubble bath from the cabinet. I stepped into the tub and relaxed under the warm water. I knew Hikari was hurt because I could feel it. Mom would say it's our twintuition. Maybe that was the reason we’re so close and why this isn't one of our normal fights. I know I hurt my sister. I sighed resting my head against the cold bathroom tile. Both of my parents were at work and Hikari was at a sleepover so it was just me and my thoughts. Those were the same thoughts that kept reminding me of how I've been taking my anger out on Hikari the past week. At first I didn't know why I was so upset. I finally realized it after our fight last night.
“Why are you always bringing him up? Don't you think it weird you're still friends with my ex?”
“You're the one that keeps talking about him! You're obviously still in love with him.”
When she said that to me I didn't want to believe it but the fight kept replaying in my head last night. That's when I realized she was right. I still love Haru and it hurts that he’s pushing me away. When I saw them together yesterday I was jealous. I was jealous that they were able to talk so easily like him and I used to. I got out of the tub and wrapped myself in my robe. After getting changed I sat on my bed with my phone in my hands. My fingers kept hovering over Hikari’s contact.
Should I text her? Maybe I should call? I don't want to ruin her night. Why do I do this to myself? I groaned lying on my bed, tossing my phone to the side. Hikari wasn't the only one I needed to call right now. It was Haru. Before I could call him I was interrupted by the front door opening.
“Yua come help me with the groceries!’ mom called from downstairs.
“Im coming!”
“Mom when is Hikari coming back?” I asked putting away the vegetables.
“Sunday. Why, whats up?”
“Nothing I was just wondering.”
“Is everything okay with you two? You've been acting weird the past few days.” she stopped and turned to face me.
“No everything is fine. She wanted me to help her with some homework but I guess Hisako can help her.” I lied. She nodded, probably not believing me and went back to putting up the groceries.
I guess I have to wait until sunday to fix this.
Hikari’s pov
Hisako sat in her bed as I laid in her lap watching a movie. “How many times are you gonna make me watch this?” I yawned, growing bored.
“You know it's our tradition to watch Mean Girls during our sleepovers.”
“Yeah but do we have to watch it 5 times in one night?” I laughed looking up at her. I got off her bed and dug through my duffle bag until I pulled out two sheet masks. I turned to show her and she smiled.
“Are those the ones with green tea?” She asked joining me on the floor. I nodded handing her a mask. It was quiet besides the sound of the tv playing or the occasional giggle from Hisako.
“I missed this. We should have our sleepovers more.” I said resting my head on her shoulder. She nodded in response.
The next morning I waved to Hisako and her mom as they dropped me back off at home.
“Mom, I'm home!” I yell entering the house. No answer. I placed my keys on the entryway table and called her again. I walked into the kitchen to see Yua placing freshly baked cookies onto a tray.
“Mom had a last minute work meeting.”
“Oh.”
“Cookie?” She asked, holding the tray towards me offering a small smile.
“No thanks.” I started to walk away when she called my name.
I turned back to face her. “What? Are you gonna yell at me because I didn't take one of your cookies?” She stepped closer to me and sighed.
“No, I made those as a peace offering. I wanted to talk to you...about everything.” I studied her face for a moment before replying. I grabbed a cookie off the tray and stuffed it into my mouth.
“Well it’s gonna take a lot more than chocolate chip cookies to win me over.” I mumbled. She laughed walking out the kitchen to the living room. I followed sitting on the opposite side.
“I know I’ve been a horrible sister and i'm sorry for that. No, not just that. I'm sorry for the way I've been treating you. I never meant anything I said. I was mad at Haru and took it out on you. Also I was jealous. I was jealous because you were able to talk to him while I've been trying to do that for months. I don't expect you to forgive me right now but just know I'm really sorry and most importantly I love you.” Yua stared at me the whole time with glossy eyes. I knew she meant what she said. I scooted over sitting closer to her.
“You promised that you would never let a guy in the way of our relationship. You broke that promise and hurt me but I know how much Haru means to you. I'm willing to forgive you for now.” she smiled at me for the first time all week before engulfing me in a hug.
“You're my favorite sister and nothing can change that.”
“Yua I’m your only sister.” I pulled away from her. She was back to being herself.
“When we were fighting I realized you were right. I still love him. I left early for school. I wanted to talk to him and work everything out not because I was avoiding you.”
“Did you ever find him?”
“No.” I groaned leaning on the back of the couch. “I tried looking for him all day only to find out he didn't show up for school.”
“Talk to him tomorrow no matter what.”
“I will. You don't have to worry about us.” she smiled reaching for a cookie on the coffee table.
“Yua the day you saw us together we were talking about you. Haru doesn't know how to be around you anymore. He doesn't know how to talk to you. He knows when he left he hurt you and he doesn't want to do that again.” she stared back at me with a shocked expression on her face.
“I would never do anything to hurt you. You know Haru and I are friends. I was just comforting him.” Yua pulled me into another hug but this time it was tighter.
“Wow I really am a bad sister.”
“No, I understand why you were upset. Just have a little more faith in me next time. Okay?”
“This is why you can't date until you're 30.”
“Yuaaa.” I winned. She let me go and stood up from the couch.
“Fine you can date when you're 29.” I rolled my eyes at her.
“C'mon I’ll treat you to dinner. What do you want?”
“Shabu-Shabu!” I yelled excitedly.
“I should have known.”

So on the last day of july i went clubbing
Almost immediately met a cute boy and he asked me to go to a hotel with him. I debated but ultimately went with him. He asked if i wanted to go on a date because fucking japanese assholes equate date with hotel.
Went. Hooked up. Then. He said he wanted to go back to the club because otherwise “it would be a waste of his night”
Yeah
So... went back.... watched him look for another girl. And felt like shit
Eventually a boy that was ok looking talked to me. I didnt ignore him and he got excited over me talking to him after having ignored other boys. I didnt intend to continue talking to him but he was so excited the entire time and was nice so i just stayed with him.
We left together and sat on some sidewalk and talked. I saw that both his arms had cut marks all over them
And as a fucked up person... i stupidly think that other fucked up people will be as empathetic as i try to be and my depressed friends back home
He told me some of his shitty homelife - apparently he doesnt have parents
He asked me to go to a hotel with him and i said no... so we went to eat instead...
He kept being overly nice (in words) told me that he works at an old folks home and that he wants to learn english and come to america and help me take care of my mom.... in a sudden way
Rationally im not stupid and know that was a line. But im pretty stupid in general
He kept asking me to be his gf and i told him id need to go on a date with him to decide that
I just wanted to say no but...
He didnt pay for my meal - ya im one of those girls that that bothers
We seperated and he continued to text my the next few days. We set up a date. He asked me to go to him in yokohama - an hour away from tokyo
Since id never been there i said yes. But this meant i had to pay an expensive train ticket
He did pay for dinner and afterwards convience store for me... mostly... asking if i had change
He wanted to drink at the pier and insisted i get a drink but didnt pay for it
And then took me back to his apartment
It ended up being fun
The next morning while he was showering i was just poking around at his stuff. Not actually looking for anything just curious about the things he has
I looked at his wallet (honestly to see the design but i also always wonder why japanese guys are so comfortable leaving money around who is generally a stranger)
And then. I found. Picture from a photobooth. Him amd soem girl. It was dated from a week before.
He told me the night we met that he broke up with his ex a year ago. But this picture looked very much like a couple
I asked him about it and he just said sorry and threw it in the trash (not a real trash. It could easily be taken out) he said it was from a year ago
After. Bit i took it out amd pointed at the date. He literally hummed and refused to comment ...but he told me hell only see me...
I shouldn’t take that as enough but i did and told him when i got home that ill only se him too. I told him i liked him - and to this point he kept saying he likes me over and over. He has not said it since this. Just said he was happy that i used his name.
After that i went to okinawa for a few days. He told me his sim card broke and he doesnt have wifi unless he goes to a convience store (as an excuse to text slow)
I got back the next week and stayed home all week from a yeast infection that i think he gave me. When he barely responded i told him that
Then he responded continuously telling me that i just got it on my own and hes healthy so it wasnt him
That weekend i went drinking with some friends and messaged him. He responded immediately and i called him. Asking when his phone got fixed. He told me the day before
Then he told me he has pink eye and sent a picture. He said he cant go out of his house because of it
The next week was my birthday. He said hed be cured the day after and we could celebrate. Then he cancelled saying the doc told him hes still contagious
A few days after he sent me a picture of him with makeup on and contacts in saying he went to the salan. I responded immediately asking if he was still contagious and tried to call. He ignored me
I tried to call more throughout the day
Nothing
Over 24 hours pased so i used another account to say hi to him. After 2 hours he responded to the fake account asking who it was
And i flipped the fuck out. I told him a bunch of reasons why he sucked and that he did and fuck him
Then he responded to me with long messages. Many of which i couldnt understand (hes used incorrect kanji before that which makes translation strained)
His excuse was that he felt sick and slept for 20 hours (but he ignored me for over 27)and that he wanted to answer his texts in order. That he doesnt look at him phone much and then got mad at me for not being worried about him and instead getting mad
He didnt addresss any of my complaints like the fact that if im his gf i should be a priority
But because im a sucked i felt bad for trying to hurt him and apologized.... he said hed forgive me if i buy him an accessory next time we hung out...
Yeah. Red flags. I too if i had other options... would have said. Thats a weird way to accept an apology.
Also before (on that first date) when we talked about our bdays cause his was a bit before mine. I asked him what hed wanna do as a late celebration. He immediately told me he wanted yakiniku (an expensive meat meal) and clothes or accessorys from an expensive brand he likes...
So he continued to take over 24 hours to reply to me. With very small responces - he never asks me questions. I asked him to call the night before i went camping and he said he couldnt because he was too drunk from drinking with friends. I went camping and came back and got him on the phone. I demanded him to call and he said he couldnt cause he was tired from work and would the following day
I told him it makes me upset that he doesnt talk to me and that i constantly dont feel good because of him. He just said sorrry. I planned to say this is over if he didnt agree to meet me. But he agreed to a date the coming sunday... the day before i began work again. He said hed come to tokyo and and had a plan. It sounded fun.
Well come sunday morning.... he cancelled. He said he didnt have money. I tried to call him several times and he ignored me.
I confronted him in person. He got mad at me for it. Said he got some sort debt collection and got frauded... someone used his name to take out money and he has to pay court. He said he doesnt have money because of it.
I asked why he never tells me whats going on with him (because im dumb and beleive this... actually i dont. I hope hes being honestly and just has really bad luck but)
This time like last time i told him the way he treats me is how really awful boys who are using me and playing with me treat me. And i cant trust him if hes like this but doesnt tell me why
Well...i was there... i offered to pay for out date.... besides the 11 dollars it takes to get to him
He asked me to put 5 dollars on his train card.... it takes 3 dollads to get to and from where we went. He... mad sure no matter where we would eat it would cost 40 bucks - wanting to drink alc and such. It costed 43 dollars. He wanted starbucks but i kinda said no by saying i dont rlly like starbucks - but he still wanted to get a dessert - 3 dollars
And... he wanted me to buy him that aftermentioned accessory... a ring. He looked at very expensive ones... i... would not have paid for even as stupid as i am.. the one he got was 15 or 25 I forget which...
The thing is... if he wasnt actually... if i wasn’t comfortable being with him i woulda stopped this before... unfortunately. As usual. Despite initially not being attracted to him i really enjoyed his company and find him to be fun...
He said that we should go home at 8 i asked about going back to him place and he said no because hes tired and has work the next day. He knows i also do too. At the same time. And i tried to convince him and he kept saying no. Then i asked doesnt he wanna have sex. He said that we should go to a hotel. And i protested that hotels are expensive and his apartments free and just a cheap train station away. He said hes too tired and just wants to sleep at his apartment but hotels are exciting so hed be awake at a hotel.
He pushed them and i said at that point id be spending like 100 dollars on the day and he knows i also dont have a lot of money.
We awkwardly went to a manga cafe that was only 5 dollars but it wanted you to make a card that costs 5 more dollads. And then i got fussy because too much stress literally makes me lose control of my emotions.
It fucking sucks and i hate it. I have no fucking control over my emotions when my stress is bubbling (which it almost always is) and boils over.
I asked him if he can even pay just the 5 dollars and he said he has no money. I asked how hes gonna get to work with literally no money and he said his conpany pays for it (yea japanese conpanies pay AFTER you go )
We left. It was a bad mood. He didnt storm away from me even though i was basically crying in the street (i have had this happen with even friends. I start crying and they just walk away so even though it should be expected of someone claiming to be your bf... ya)
Anyhow i told him i just wanted to cuddle and talk and kiss
He looked annoyed but i guess he thought those wants were cute and looked for a isolated place
Because were in japan
Couldnt find one cause we were in a city and he again just started saying lets go home. That hes tired and not in the mood.
But we were in a quiet enough play.
And im bitching here but ill take a quick break to say i kept hugging him and stuff which he liked despite saying he was really embarrassed
He told me ealier ok that because of this debt thing hes gonna work two jobs
Which. Terrified me. The first guy I went on a date with in Japan asked me to be his gf and to move in with him and said he had to work two jobs for a month to afford to move so he wouldnt have time to see me. He told me his progress for two weeks and then ghosted me.
This boy told me hell make time to see me when i complained about not doing anything physical when i wouldnt see him again for who knows how long
Welp. Todays saturday and that was sunday. And while at first i thought he was trying because he replied to my messages in or at 24 hours for a few days. Its gone back to the 17 hours
And i asked him to talk on the phone
And he just said not tonight because after his current job hes working at home too
And because im dumb ive waisted my whole saturday waiting for him to reply and crying.

iKON Relationship with New Girl Member
Jinhwan:
Tumblr media
Basically, her dad
Takes care of her the most dealing with her problems
He’s the oldest and he is used to dealing with the boys’ shit so he can handle hers too
But sometimes, it can be overwhelming
The girl member would listen to him like he would for her
Whenever she gets in trouble, he would always defend her (which annoys Bin a lot)
When she’s in that *cough* time *cough*, she would be the most comfortable with him
Jinhwan wouldn’t hesitate but go to the store 2 streets down and buy her chocolate, medicine, heating packs, chips, and tampons/pads
out of all the boys, she would trust him the most
if she needs something, she would go to him first
jinhwan loves to brag about that to the boys
he also loves the fact that someone is finally shorter than him
the boys still call him short but the girl defends him saying he’s taller than her
if anything, they should call her short
the first time it happened, jinhwan almost cried bc finally someone stood up for him
whenever he’s upset or hurt by what the others said, he hides it but she can usually tell 
the only one he speaks his problems to
she experiments with makeup on him since he’s the only one who lets her
ngl, she’s actually pretty good
‘i didn’t spend 2 all-nighters watching jeffree star and james charles for nothing’
but as long as he sees that bright smile, he’s happy
i think he would be the im-never-letting-you-go type with her because he sees her as the girl he saw for the very first time
shy and innocent
and he will be damned if someone corrupts her
Yunhyeong:
Tumblr media
if Jinhwan is her dad, he’s her mom
makes sure she does laundry, gets up early, goes to bed on time, showers before the boys
will feed and cook for the girl even when he’s tired
thinks shes the cutest little thing
but he knows that if he finds chanwoo and her are talking amongst themselves, shes gone
gets pranked on the most
the boys would use the girl to take advantage of his kindness to her for a prank
then the girl would be guilty later on and secretly tell song what theyre planning
believe it or not, yunghyeong is pretty scary when he’s mad
so she rats the others out bc she knows he wont punish her and she could watch the boys suffer
its like killing 2 birds with one stone
but really, she appreciates him
without him, she would be stuck eating delivery and ramen every night
since she rooms with him, chanwoo, and hanbin, hes always cooking something
ikonics see her a lot in his vlives and YT channel
when he went to the jungle, she was very worried
‘hyung, you’re going to get sick there! who’s going to feed me when you’re gone? you know Bin can’t cook for shit!’
‘yah! do you only see me as your chef?!’
‘what do you mean i can’t cook?!’
he looks out for her a lot
during ikontv, she was the only one excited for the mungap trip
out of all the boys, she appreciates him the most
okay, maybe she appreciates him and jinhwan the most
but, he was the one who made her feel welcome and tried the most to help her fit in and make sure she was comfortable
will never forget when he left her a tray of food at her door when she refused to leave her new room
there was a post-it note with encouraging words and she still has it to this day
just a wholesome mother-daughter relationship that will never be broken
Bobby:
Tumblr media
oh, my baby
as i mentioned in the earlier post, he wasn’t very upset but he wasnt happy
but he wasnt upset enough to make her feel uncomfortable
bc jiwon is such a baby and so nice that he subtly helps her
over time, they build a cute relationship where he is like her older brother
steals her food all the time
‘no! song-hyung cooked that for me! Only for me!’
‘yah! it’s rude not to share with your elders!’
‘*mumbling* wdym elder. you’re practically a 5 year old’
jiwon has no mean bone in his body and you were practically an angel to him
well, when you’re not fooling around or goofing off
although he thought you wouldnt survive in iKON, he tries to help you as much as he can
even though bin is literally a big butt and gives you a hard time, jiwon helps you
like the time bin screamed at you because you couldnt get the dance right and you, being a strong woman who wouldnt let people push you around, screamed at him too
it resulted to you having a screaming match and the elders having to push you back because you were so close to punching him in the face and the youngers holding bin because he wouldnt hesitate to come at you
more on that in a sec
but you slammed the practice room shut and walked to the river to cool down
granted you were new to korea and didnt really know where you were going, you went to the place the guys took you to
bobby found you crying there and hes a very awkward little bean so it was hard for him to comfort you
since youre a girl and all
but you wrapped your arms around him and cried to his chest *cue confused and frozen bobby*
jiwon slowly wrapped his arms around you and whispered sweet nothings into your ear
since then, hes vowed to protect you bc youre basically the little sister hes wanted
B.I:
Tumblr media
okay, lets get this bread
as i said in the beginning, he didnt like you
aT aLL
he wanted to give you a hard time bc he wanted to see how long you would last
these boys have been with him since their survival days and suddenly this girl comes in? no thanks bitch
but i think bin is just really frustrated bc he couldnt figure you out
the others, he knows like the back of his hands
but you? he doesnt know shit about you
*cue his bratty self*
we all know bin is actually a soft little puppy who needs to be protected by iKONICS and will sacrifice himself for his boys
and dont worry, he will soon come to love you too
when you locked yourself up in your room, jinhwan grabbed his ear and pulled him outside to scold him
but it resulted to bin and jinhwan arguing
‘if you dont get your shit together, we’re going to have some problems. you’re the leader arent you? then act like it’
every day you try to be nice to him but he just shrugs and sometimes even outright ignore you
but as time goes on, hanbin slowly figures you out
youre still scared of him and thinks hes a douche but you can see hes trying
he really is trying
he picks up your weird habits like unintentionally pout when you dont understand something or the tip of your nose sweating when youre nervous
before, he used to not ask for your input in any tracks but it has come to the point he would knock at your door in the ungodly time of 2 in the morning, asking if the draft is good
love scenario was your guys’ combined efforts
there will be an imagine with that^
since you came in bling bling era, he didnt really give you a lot of lines because he couldnt figure out your voice and your strengths
but now, he knows you very well too
‘yah, be careful. dont be eating a lot of that ice cream. you shouldnt even have any in the first place. youre lactose intolerant, remember?’
‘yes, bin. i think id remember if there was something wrong with me.’
there are petty little fights between you guys that used to be mean and hurtful but are now playful and downright cute
but that dreaded day of your biggest fight yet
in love scenario during bobby’s rap, there’s that fast move that even the others struggled in
but hanbin already got it nailed down bc hes a GOD
but you were struggling the most and hanbin tried to be patient and help you
it was just hard for you and you couldnt get it right
by the 100th time of him repeating it over and over again, he exploded
‘yah! how are you a dancer when you couldnt even get this right!’
you looked down ashamed while mumbling ‘sorry’
he yells again and you mess up 
AGAIN
he throws his hat down and gets up towards you
‘if you cant do it correctly, why bother with it? go home. you’re done’
jinhwan nervously puts a hand on his shoulder and goes in between them to try and difuse the situation
‘hanbin-ah. we’re having a hard time too. its not just her. the dance is just hard.’
‘i dont get we’ve done WAY harder choreo than this’
‘well, hanbin, remember. she wasnt here for that.’
‘maybe it was a mistake to put her here then. she isnt ready.’
you look up at him with flaring eyes
‘listen, you dont know anything that ive been through to get to where i am today so dont even say im not ready. YOU DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ME!’
everyone stayed silent, even the maknaes bc theyve never seen her lash out like that
hanbin scoffed.
‘maybe if you actually opened up yourself to us and not hide in your damn room all day’
she stomped to him and pushed him
‘no MAYBE if you pulled your head out of your ass and take the time to get to know me then maybe you would! but NO! you decide to be a little bitch and throw tantrums just bc a girl joined your group. was your ego hurt that yg sent a girl to you? that you would need someone to make sure that this group doesnt crumble to the ground? bc with the way youre acting, the guys arent here just because youre a good leader. YOURE A TYRANT! THATS ALL YOU WOULD EVER BE!’
shit
Hanbin was FURIOUS
he pushed her back and the guys held on to them
you pushed them away and sent one last hateful glare before you made your way to the door
‘but dont worry, kim hanbin. because ill send my resignation letter to yang in the morning. im not putting up with your shit any longer’
there will be a whole ass imagine about that so it will contain when yall make up
but after that, yall are so cool
his sister loves you and he might start having a ‘thing’ 
more on that in a sec
Donghyuck:
Tumblr media
oof my baby sunshine
previously stated, he was the only one excited for your arrival
so obvs, yall are very tight
you, bob, and dong do vlives together a lot and ikonics look forward to it all the time
always cheers you up
remember that prank for ikon tv where dong literally started comforting the girl?
well, he does that to you
he knows when you start to get upset and he rubs your back
sometimes, just a hug from him makes it all better
did i mention that he gives out the warmest hugs?
ace dancers
both of you love to do covers as bonding time
whenever you can’t sleep, you just go to the other dorm and go under the covers while he sings to you
he sees you as his little sister and reminds him of his own little sister back home
btw, he loves to give you gifts
but so do you
when yall were filming ikon tv, he always picked up something that reminded him of you
like when he went shopping with bobby for their studio, he got you a little cute figurine that you still have to this day
or when you went to lotte mall for your day off and bought him a little necklace
fans get excited bc they always see matching yall have
the two of you wear the most fan gifts
like when someone gave hanbin a shirt, you snatch it and wear it
like how dong takes bobby’s clothing
yall are so cute together and fans wish they had a brother or a sister like yall
Junhoe:
Tumblr media
this hoe
jk, but he really looks hot in this one
yes, he hated you in the beginning but once he found out similarities between you, he started tolerating you
also to him, i think he oesnt like the fact that him and the others worked so hard to get where they are and he doesnt really know what you went through to get there
junhoe has the personality that may seem very cold at first but he easily opens up to others and that causes them to open up to him
he knows the struggles you went through to be in ikon
you’re older than him by a few months and you treat him like your child
‘junhoe-ah! dont forget to take your makeup off!’
‘yah! clean your room! its like a pigsty!’
he gets annoyed with it but he knows you just look out for him
he calls you ‘noona’ with that cute ass smile if he wants something
how can you say no to that
yalls laughs are so loud and yall are just loud in general
one time, yall had a competition on who could sing louder and the guys almost banned you from the apartment complex
the neighbors weren’t happy
he always asks you for fashion advice even though you don’t have a good fashion taste
you have the habit of spoiling him of clothes and shoes
‘noona, you don’t need to do this. take them back’
‘wtf they’re from busan. i’m not about to take a train ride there to return those. keep them.’
his mom absolutely adores you
always tells you to look after him and junhoe blushing like a maniac
‘mom, i’m bigger than her. i think she’d need more protecting than me’
he turns red whenever you pinch his cheeks together 
ngl, he had a crush on you but it faded away when he saw another member having a crush on you too
hes scared of him so hed rather back off
but you love him a lot and comfort him bc hes a little baby that really needs to be looked after
Chanwoo:
Tumblr media
fuck, so cute
at first, chanwoo ignored you and made sure you were uncomfortable
even going as far as to disrespecting you
like being rude and being un-chanwoo
lets just say yunhyeong beat it out of him
as the youngest member, you baby him the most
‘oh, my little baby!’
initially, he was uncomfortable with it 
but now, he lives for it
pouts when you give another member too much attention
teases you about your short height all the time
helps you grocery shop mainly for him to carry the bags
‘dont worry, noona. im strong’
you find out that chanwoo actually joined the group last and had a hard time fitting in
you used this to your advantage to get closer to him with your similar situations
‘you know, being in an unfamiliar environment is hard. but having someone who understands your feelings makes it easier’
and he just looks up to you with those big brown eyes and you just melt
gamer buddies
love to go to pc cafes even though yall have your own respective computers at home
only goes for the food
always calls him when you’re stuck in one level
*cute Hanbin’s voice*
‘CHANWOO-YAH!!!! JUNG CHANWOO!!!’
even though he might act like a bitch sometimes, hes actually so soft and cute
hes your little baby and will always be your little baby even though yall are like 80

hey so i have this reddie headcannon/prompt that the reason R+E was carved into the kissing bridge because they actually kissed on the bridge but then they heard someone coming like idk the losers club or bowers gang and had to leave before they could carve their initials and ritchie came back later to do it. leaving the cinema i actually thought thats what happened till i came to tumblr. i would write it myself but i dont think i'd gonna get around to it very soon
ah hi hello this is the cutest motherfucking thing
warnings: none really? they’re both closeted. I’m not going to mention the events of Ch2 because even though I have the chance to make it sad, I just… don’t want to.
I wasn’t sure where the carving fell in the timeline because I have the memory of a walnut, so I wrote it in like. The summer following the first confrontation with It?
word count: 1.01k
Richie revels in the sweet little giggles that he pulls from Eddie as he spins his wild tales. They’re walking along the Kissing Bridge, a good mile or two ahead of their friends. The others started their commute long after Richie and Eddie had slipped out of the Denbrough’s kitchen after the group’s lunch.
The idea comes upon him suddenly, his near instant stop has Eddie turning around with a concerned look in his eye. He tugs lightly on Richie’s hand, but he won’t move, almost as though he’s glued to the spot. He feels his cheeks begin to hurt from how widely he’s smiling, and knows that, to Eddie, he must look insane.
“I have an idea.”
Eddie makes a face at him, one that screams ‘what the fuck do you want now,’ and Richie laughs a little at it, thriving off of Eddie’s annoyance. His hand is tugged on again, but he just shakes his hand and pulls Eddie closer.
“You have plenty of ideas, Richie, that doesn’t mean any of them are ever good.”
Richie feigns being wounded, sticking his tongue out and crossing his eyes dramatically. The sigh that comes in response is motivation enough to step it up even more by falling straight onto the ground, hand pressed over his heart.
“To be maimed by my own lover! The death rattle is upon me, my dear boy, listen,” he exaggerates a wheeze and reaches out to Eddie, pouting, “I only have one request, Eddie.”
Eddie plays along, taking his hand to kneel beside him. They’re both grinning so widely it’s almost painful, but they’re taking their act seriously.
“What is it, Richie?”
Richie motions him to come closer, dry coughing a few times. Eddie rolls his eyes, but leans down anyway, drawing close enough that Richie only has to whisper in Eddie’s ear. He takes a deep breath, whispering, 
“Tell your mother… she was the best lay I ever had.”
Eddie shoves him away, shrieking. Richie is quite literally rolling in laughter, taking in Eddie’s expression of offense. He tries to reach up to ask for help standing up, but Eddie only swats his hand away and turns his nose up at him.
“You are a goon, Richie Tozier. A fucking buffoon. I hate you so much, I swear to god-”
Richie smiles like he’s been doped up, eyes almost in the shapes of hearts behind his glasses. Eddie’s still raving beside him, but Richie can barely hear him speaking over the sound of his own heart beating. Eddie must notice the absolute besotted look on Richie’s face, because he scoffs and snaps in front of his nose.
“Earth to Richie? What’s going on up there?”
“I’m your goon, Eddie Spaghetti.”
If looks could kill, Richie’s absolutely, one hundred per cent sure that he’d be dead right about now. Eddie shoves him over with his shoulder and rolls his eyes so hard he’s certain they’re going to roll out of his head.
“Sure you are,” Richie beams at that, and Eddie rolls his eyes again but keeps going, “so what was your idea?”
“We should carve our initials here! Like, you know… kiss and stuff first, obviously, but-”
Eddie cuts him off with a soft kiss, contradicting the annoyed words from a few minutes earlier. Richie knows he’s blushing madly, and wishes he didn’t react so easily to stuff like this. Eddie leans in for another kiss and Richie, not one to disappoint, surges into it. It’s messy, and most definitely not their best kiss by any standard, but they don’t really care. It’s theirs. Eddie’s arms wrap loosely around Richie’s neck, which serves to make it a little awkward when Richie smiles hesitantly, digging around in his pockets, and says,
“I, uh. Brought my pocket knife. I’ve kinda wanted to do this for a while.”
Eddie snorts, backing away to allow Richie a little more wiggle room to search amongst all of the stuff he keeps in his pants pockets.
“Jesus, Richie, how much shit do you keep in there? The entire corner store?”
“No, um, my keys, some gum… one of your old inhalers. I don’t think it works anymore, actually. A pack of cigarettes that I bummed off of Bev, I think I stole some of her chapstick, too- oh! There’s my knife.”
Eddie’s temporarily stunned into silence by Richie’s casual confession. An inhaler, even though he doesn’t need it anymore? He hasn’t taken a puff of one in almost a year. RIchie’s moving toward the railing, trying to find a good spot, so Eddie follows him. They squat together, scanning for a clean enough spot to carve in, when they hear the tell-tale sound of bike bells. Beverly’s yelling at Stan, who’s gotten a good ten or fifteen feet ahead of her, and as they get closer, Richie can see why she’s yelling. Stan is waving another pack of cigarettes around like they’re a trophy he won, laughing wildly. Beverly’s yelling gets clearer as they zoom past Eddie and Richie,
“Stanley Uris, I swear on your fucking mother, I’ll end you!”
Richie turns to Eddie apologetically while the other three ride up to them at a much more casual pace, and he whispers,
“I’ll come back later, okay?’
Richie makes good on his promise. Once they’ve had their fun for the day, he rides back. It’s not late enough in the day to be dark yet, but he does need to hurry it along. His mom is probably wondering where he is. Pacing along the side of the bridge, it doesn’t take him long to find the spot he had almost gotten to show Eddie.
Quickly, he carves their initials in the wood, cringing a bit when the R doesn’t come out quite as great as he thought it would. But, it’s theirs. That spot is now all for them, and the thought of it makes him warm inside. He knows he’s going to bring Eddie to look at his handiwork, and he’s going to be really fucking proud of it when he does.
