summary: where futakuchi kenji isn't as mean or disrespectful as other people have told you
Shit.
You softly bite your lip as you realize Mai is in a different class. She gives a reassuring pat on your shoulder as you try to find anyone you spoken to before; however, your eyes get stuck on one name.
Futakuchi Kenji.
You had heard of Futakuchi before, mainly by Mai's ramblings, but he was… known, not necessarily good things but he had a bit of a reputation. He had issues with talking back to upperclassmen and fighting for marks with teachers. You had spoken to him once or twice but can't even remember what it was about.
“There’s a reason you’re all seated this way,” You try to hide in your beige sweater, the green blazer on your skirt. You try to ease your breathing as you feel Futakuchi eye you down, probably wondering why you're completely avoiding his gaze.
Fuck.
Your teacher, a young man with dark curly hair leans on his desk, “if you notice, you're probably seated with people you never thought you’d talk to.” You subtly nod, a window on one side and Futakuchi on the other wasn’t exactly the way you planned the year to go.
“I want you to speak to people with a different opinion to you, if you’re quiet, be loud. If you’re a bit of a dick, maybe be nice.” He looks at Futakuchi, who simply stares at him back, giving a tight smile. You nervously bounce your leg on the floor, side-eyeing Futakuchi. He was currently doodling on his notebook, ignoring everything the teacher was saying. His long legs are spread out, your eyes are slowly draw to his hands. They're long but in a soft and almost dainty way. You can't help but look at your own; rough and your nails are uneven, nothing like his. Despite his broad shoulders, his wrists are skinny and you can only imagine what the rest of his body looks like. You have to admit, he's quite attractive. You don't remember him being this easy on the eyes last year.
You look away before you can be caught.
“Ah, also, I may have sat the two best math students together on purpose.” You notice how Futakuchi’s head lifts, actually listening now. You mentally sweat, hoping that there was a student that got better grades than you. However, the teacher’s quick and teasing glance at you make your mouth slightly open in shock. “I think friendly competitions are good. That’s right, Futakuchi,” the teacher points at him suddenly, “you’re no longer the best student. You have a rival in this class.”
“I’m sure they won’t be hard to beat.” Your teacher gives a laugh. He appears to know Futakuchi and his personality already. You can't say the same but in a, incredibly, weird way, you want to.
<3
“Thank you, y/n, you’re the best! This is the last time, promise.” You give a small smile as your classmate gives you a side hug and she runs off, your pristine notebook in her hand. You stretch and let out a big sigh; she had said the same thing last week.
“God, you’re such a people pleaser,” Futakuchi says rudely, his eyes glaring at your classmate who is quickly copying your work before the teacher arrives. He clicks his tongue in disapproval, an annoying habit of his, and shoves his hands into his blazer’s pockets. His notebook open with the answers to the homework and a slick black pen. “She’s too dumb to do basic algebra.”
“That’s a bit mean,” you slightly shuffle so you can look at him properly, “she might have personal issues going on.” The sarcasm in deep in your voice as he snorts, shaking his head. Futakuchi caught on pretty early that you were the other top student as everyone asked you for help. By pretty early, the third day of school, and since then, everyday, without fail, he would ask how much you studied and what's your 'loser face' like (you refuse to show him, obviously). And now with the results of first test arriving, you feel Futakuchi’s excitement as your stomach is full of nerves.
“Yeah, clearly personal issues going on,” as he says that the girl laughs loudly with her friends, forgetting about your notebook fast. You couldn’t wait for class to end. You feel a sudden whack on the back of your head and turn your head as Futakuchi has a bored expression, as if he didn’t just hit you. You smile in shock and as you open your mouth to talk, his blabbermouth beats you to it.
“I bet you’re the type of person to be in a rush and somehow,” he adds suspense for some reason, “you’d still help a person who's dropped their groceries. Or let someone convince you to join their cult or whatever.” You can only stare at him in silence for a few seconds before actually laughing, and you can see a glint of pride in Futakuchi’s eyes.
“Well, that definitely hasn’t happened before.” You say, eyes rolling. Futakuchi can only shake his head. Despite your initial fears, talking to Futakuchi in class became normal. Sure, he would tease you constantly and distract you , but it was weirdly easy to tease him back and, to just talk.
“You know what? You should tell people," he shifts his chair so he's closer and you lean in, he's practically whispering the last bit, "to..."
"to...?" You whisper, confused.
"to fuck off." He says fast and simple and you give a small laugh, shaking your head in disapproval. "And stop being a people-pleaser, it's gross."
Before you can respond back, your teacher hops in, a stack of paper in one hand and a red pen in the other.
You feel an annoying but all too similar soft kick to the bottom of your chair. You don’t even bother giving him a glance, you already know what his question is going to be.
“What did you get?” Futakuchi says, ignoring the teacher’s glare and your head remains down, finishing the last section of the questions you got wrong. “Are you ignoring me?”
“Did you not tell me to stop being a people pleaser?” Your voice is harsh but you turn and give a cheeky smile. His mouth is wide open, a smile starting to form and his eyes are full of disbelief. Pride swells in your chest and you wish you had a camera to take a picture of Futakuchi's face.
“Wow, using my advice against me?” He scrunches up a small piece of paper and flicks it to your face, hitting your nose. “That’s messed up.”
“Futakuchi, please stop bothering your neighbour.” You quickly put your head down and feel your cheeks heat up as people stare and Futakuchi sulks in his seat. His tongue clicks again, slightly quieter this time. “You can bother her when you get a higher grade than her.” Your eyes widen and whip your head to see how Futakuchi’s eyebrows twitch in annoyance at the teacher’s teasing.
The class continues in silent before you see another piece of paper arrive at your desk. You look at Futakuchi, unimpressed with his attempted to communicate. He shrugs before showing you his paper, a clear red 88 on the corner.
You hesitantly look at the paper, firstly, afraid of this paper being a death threat and secondly, being caught by the teacher.
How tf did you get a higher grade than me? You purse your lips, a smile threatening to come out. You quickly write a response and give a deep breathe before throwing to him, if he killed you, at least you would die a winner.
By doing your mum.
You cover your mouth as you hear Futakuchi loudly laugh, the teacher once again turning. He covers his mouth, clearly not expecting for you to write such a thing.
“Care to share Futakuchi?” The teacher’s tone slightly more serious now.
“Nah, I’m good.” he says quickly, and writes on the other side of the paper you threw. You try to work but your eyes go to him, wondering what Futakuchi could possibly be writing. You quickly get the other paper, scrunched and your hands feel electric as you open the paper.
You're definitely not a people pleaser anymore, quite the opposite actually.
It's not long before he bothers you again.
“What did you get?” Futakuchi pokes your shoulder, and you pull your tongue out, not bothered to answer. “Real mature, c’mon,” He leans in, but you swat your paper against his face.
“Don’t be snoopy,” he looks unimpressed and scoffs before folding his arms. “Futakuchi, you’re such a baby.” You give a small laugh as he pulls the middle finger.
“l/n and Futakuchi, last warning,” your back straightens significantly as your teacher gives a small nod and you can hear Futakuchi choke a laugh over your nerdiness.
“Teacher’s pet,” he says, glancing at you once the teacher faces the board again.
“At least I got a higher score than you,” you give a small smile while continuing to write down the teachers notes, and you feel Futakuchi’s glare on you.
The class passes by fast, as classmates come and ask for your help in explaining certain equations. However, you still feel those pair of eyes on you.
<3
As you walk out to the lockers you see Futakuchi, leaning on the wall on his phone. Despite being able to talk to him in class, being fully alone with him was a completely different situation.
“Waiting for Aone?” he turns and before he can glare, he gives a small smile. You go on your knees and put your school shoes into your locker as he fully turns and squats with you.
“Yep,” his face is serious and stoic, “so what did you actually get?” your face drops and you try to not smile over his persistent attitude.
“I wasn’t aware that you still cared,” you see his cheeks go slightly pink for once, “fine, I got a 92.”
“Bullshit,” he says but you open your bag and elegantly pass your paper, a clear bright red 92 in the corner. Futakuchi clicks his tongue, once again. “It’s because the teacher loves you.”
“Don’t belittle my efforts,” you put your leather shoes on as he slightly nudges you so you slightly trip, you give a quick glare that makes him laugh. “It’s not my fault you fight every teacher on every test.”
“I know my worth,” you snort over his arrogance as he stares at your calculations, his eyebrows furrowed, “also you deserve a mark here.”
“What?” You feel your heart drop and immediately lean to your test and see your working out, shoulders touching with Futakuchi. You ignore his breathe hitch, you ignore how warm he is, and you definitely ignore his cologne. “No, I don’t. I forgot to round it.”
“He said that correct units were the additional mark, not rounding, so he forgot to add a mark for that.” He folds the paper and hits your forehead, “you deserve a 94 instead of a 92, at least.”
“It’s just two percent,” you say shyly, grabbing the paper while standing up, “I doubt that’ll change my overall grade.” You didn’t want to fight the teacher, he treated you nicely every time you needed help with a question.
“You worked hard for this test,” he stands up as well, his long legs contrasting yours. His eyes staring at you for way too long, he gives a small sigh before rubbing his neck. “You deserve the grade you studied for.”
Oh.
Oh.
You don’t know why it tugs your heart, the acknowledgment of your hard work and for Futakuchi, of all people, to see it. It does something to your stomach and you feel your cheeks heat up, your feet feel stuck to the floor and your hands are suddenly clammy.
“I’ll ask him about it tomorrow,” you push the paper back in your bag, your stomach heavy with nerves. You suddenly feel insecure, did you even bother fixing your hair? Is your skirt too long? Face too blemished? You feel your sweater cling to you, in a unflattering way.
You avoid his eyes and walk past, not sure what to do with this flush of emotions. “See you tommorrow.”
"Wait," you quickly turn and Futakuchi awkwardly walks up to you, face slightly pink, "I'll walk you to the gate."
"Why?" He avoids your eyes and instead looks to the side.
"Loser's etiquette," he gives a dorky smile and you can't help but laugh.
"Sure, it's dangerous times to be walking alone to a school gate." He snorts and lightly pushes you.
"Shut up," despite his tone, he's smiling. You push him back and you both are in the strange game of pushing each other until the end of the gate. You take a deep breathe and look at Futakuchi, who's looking around to see if there's any other students.
“Thank you, I would’ve never noticed that mistake. I will actually talk to the teacher about it.” You have a serious face before Futakuchi laughs, eyes crinkling and you have to laugh with him over your dramatic style.
“No worries, it has to be a fair competition after all,” you shake your head giving a small smile. You lightly punch Futakuchi, who acts as though you have the strength of a body builder.
“Your mercifulness is going to be the end of you.” You start to walk off, your heart feeling a bit lighter.
“This is my first and last time helping you, y/n.” You give a small wave before giving him the finger.
“Good to know, because I won’t need it again!” You shout, not taking a second to glance at him despite the temptation to do so. Futakuchi laughs before disappearing back into the school.
<3
“Thank you for telling me l/n! Jeez I can’t believe I missed that.” Your math teacher gives a thumbs up, a big smile on his face. He couldn't be more than 25.
“Uhm, Futakuchi told me, actually,” You shyly give credit to him, and you see your teacher's surprised face appear, his mouth wide open.
“Futakuchi helped you? Even though he’s second?” You nod, your face heating up the more you think about it, last night you had been asking yourself the same questions. Your teacher gives a chuckle, “I have never heard of him helping anyone besides himself and Aone.”
“Yeah… He said he wanted a fair competition.” Your teacher let out a loud laugh.
“God, he’s a softie. What a stupid excuse,” he adds a red circle to your new mark. “I’m glad you’re seating next to him,” He gives a smile, “you're too nice to everyone.” Your eyebrows slightly frown as you recall Futakuchi said something similar.
“Mister Moniwa, do you know Futakuchi?” You ask, seemingly out of nowhere and your teacher tilts his head, pondering how he should answer.
“Our mums are friends,” you let a small ‘oh’, “plus, my little brother is Futakuchi’s captain.” You nod, still feeling curious about Futakuchi.
“Do you like Futakuchi always coming up to you to fight about his grade?”
“Well, I’ve known him since I was young,” he says, smiling, “funnily enough, I was his tutor when he was in middle school. So, I don't really mind. I know he's competitive.”
"I could tell early on," you laugh as you think about all the other times Moniwa has made a lesson a competition so Futakuchi would actually participate.
“Is there a reason you’re so curious about Futakuchi?” You feel your face heat up as he peers into your face.
“Uh, no,” you fiddle with your fingers, “he just seems, so confident.” Your comment surprises Moniwa, who’s eyes widen before giving a soft smile.
“That's one way to see him."
As you walk away you finally look at your paper you see a ‘96’ scribbled and a small comment.
Clearly Futakuchi ‘missed’ the other mark you got on the last page! Tell him off for me.
You shake your head; he definitely saw that mark. You practically speed walk to the class, excited to see your 'rival'.
“You asshole,” you slam your paper on his desk, “you saw the other mark, didn’t you?” Futakuchi eyes widen before giving a smug face.
“Why, I have no clue what you mean, dear y/n.”
"Oh my god,” you laugh before sitting down in your chair, giving him a shocked look. “Here I thought you were genuinely trying to help me achieve my maximum potential.” He laugh before sitting up straight, stretching his body.
“Nope,” he pops the ‘p’, “I can’t give you all the answers, now can I?”
“Yes, you can.” You say, lightly hitting your shoe against his.
“I can’t believe you got 96,” his tongue clicks, “impressive.”
“Why thank you, but it’s…” You try to maintain eye-contact, despite your face becoming a hot mess, “it’s, uhm, thanks to you, Futakuchi.” You rub your neck awkwardly as you wait for him to say anything at this point. His eyes widen as you say his name, and you quickly realize you've never called him by his name.
“Uhm, it’s okay, you already got a higher score than me so why not give you a bit of a boost up.” He coughs, clearing his throat up, ears slightly red. “You clearly needed it… Plus, probability is my bitch, so I’ll ace the next test.”
You slowly glare at him, a million thoughts going through your head.
“I’ll bet… That I’ll ace it harder than you,” you leave your hand out for a handshake, “probability is everyone’s bitch.”
His classic smug smile comes out, his hand drumming on his desk, actually thinking about the logistics of this bet. However, his hand slides into yours, giving a small squeeze.
“Deal.”
note: hope u enjoyed it, first time writing futakuchi ahh, can u tell the parts i rlly enjoyed writing??

I saw a post about some guy dating his army gf for about a year but he's getting insecure when she talks about bts when she gushes over him or say "shes in love with 7 men" and how much she loves them and he noted how passionately she talked about them etc and how he feels basically like there's always 7 ppl in front of him, and it made me wonder, if your partner felt this way what do you even say to them? honestly, when I say I love these men, I genuinely do, with all my heart. They hold a special place I don't think anyone else can touch. Not in a romantic sense but yeah idk how I'd explain, I never had to tell someone that lol. Curious how would u go about it? (I felt bad but I kinda laughed when he said he felt unloved when she talked about jk 😭😂) I think he needs to understand there's different types of love and it has nothing to do with their romantic relationship
okay so, funny story, i actually did break up w my bf like 5 months after i got into bts 😭 the break up was a long time in the making tbf (like before i got into bts) but he also kept making very insulting comments about them (which was even more weird bc i was very into kdramas before i even met him and he even knew that and went to watch parasite with me in theatres and enjoyed it??? so it was not even like generalized racism (which is common sadly but not w him) it was just specifically bangtan???) and i think bts' love yourself message also helped me a lot in the process but he never actually said you love them more than me or anything 😭 point being, i feel like if my s/o did say smth like that to me i would atp be like you literally knew what you were getting into when you started dating me bc i'm very clear even with all my friends when we become closer being like listen. i love bts and if that's a problem then you need to get over it. like my friends get passionate over their specific interests like sports (which is a lot more than 7 people....) or gaming (which my ex used to do for 10+ hours on weekends instead of hanging out 👍) or whatever so why can't i gush about bts i don't understand? as you said, it's different types of love and as much as i love bangtan, it's not a friendship or a relationship in the these are people i actually know personally way? but obviously i really do love them a lot even if i can't explain it? and like all of my friends have been pretty accepting about it, most of them listen to bts w me if we're just hanging out (some send me album reviews for each new bts album/song that drops that i link them to djfkdkf), one of them even watched the ptd concert w me bc it was while i was in class so i had one earphone in and i've watched vlives with them bc it started while we were eating or smth 😭 i can also tell them in advance that i'm busy on certain dates bc there's a concert/cb and they're like yeah, makes sense so i wouldn't expect any less from a s/o if my friends are so adjusting and don't feel unloved by it? 😭 it's not a daily occurrence and when they DO need me to be there, i will be there regardless of anything else so at the end of the day, i think that's what matters like, as long as she's with him when it's important it shouldn't be a problem i think 😭

itsay ep 3 (thoughts + spoilers)
itsay ep 3 fucking obliterated me so here i am with some more thoughts on this episode (drama) in general. this is just me being an incoherent mess bc my mind is basically just one long !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! after having watched this (once raw and again subbed). this isn’t an analysis, it’s literally me just gushing over the ep as i watch it bc boy oh BOY.
WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT EVERYTHING HITTING DIFFERENT AFTER THE BOAT SCENE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if i thought the tension in the boat knocked the breath out of me, this whole ep was that x10000.
they really started us off with a bang having continued straight off from last ep with teh smelling oh-aew’s hair, huh?? teh rubbing his face with the coconut paralleled with oh-aew smelling his coconut scented shampoo?? excuse me as i cry into my hands.
teh wasn’t willing to wake up early for tarn when she wanted to draw early in the morning, but when he sees that oh-aew wants to wake up early to study, HE’S the one that makes sure that oh-aew wakes up (and he stays up to keep oh-aew company, even if it’s just over the phone). then again when they’re at the resort...love that tarn realises that too. boy ain’t subtle. also, how is it even possible that they can have that much tension just speaking over the phone?? they’re not even in the same room and the tension between the two of them is so thick i can barely breathe.
the “let me know when you’re home”!!!!!!!!!!!!! BOYFRIEND BEHAVIOUR. as soon as oh-aew asked teh why he always asked tarn that, i KNEW they were gonna put that in there for him and oh-aew and i’m glad i wasn’t disappointed :))) the look on oh-aew’s face when he saw the text!!!!!!!!!!! the way he stopped in his tracks!!!!!!!!!
i already had a feeling that oh-aew was going to be the first one to properly realise and accept his feelings for teh based on the teasers (makes sense since he already knows he likes boys...he’s more sure of his sexuality, which would of course make it easier for him to accept based on that). seeing the way he used the ‘if you get close to him and he doesn’t move away it means he likes you’ theory that teh initially told him to try on bas with teh too was really cute. and the jealousy over tarn. i LOVED that we got to see a more petty side to him when he announced he was going to room with bas partly bc of how lowkey jealous/mad he was about teh and tarn talking over the phone. it left teh so unsettled and confused (the piano music was PERFECT in that scene), and is 510% something teh would have done too (based on the previous two eps). they really are a perfect match huh. but poor bas being caught in the middle of the two of them ;;;
i liked that a lot of this ep was from oh-aew’s perspective. i feel like we got mostly teh’s pov in the first two eps, so it was really nice to see things from oh-aew’s pov too. gave us all more insight into his personality and he’s honestly SO MUCH more flirty than i thought he was going to be omg. the potato chip scene where he just crawled over to teh and ate that potato chip all the while staring straight at teh, then lying on his lap?????????? teh was (understandably) flustered after that AND SO WAS I. i was not expecting that whatsoever. i was also really impressed with how honest oh-aew was about his feelings. i love that he’s stayed true to their previous heart to heart in the boat scene last ep where he basically told teh that he wanted transparency between the two of them. he’s sticking to that, and i admire him so much for being able to be that vulnerable and true to himself. i thought there might have been more confusion with bas, but it looks like as soon as he realised his feelings might have faded/that he was feeling things for teh now, he just went with it. i know in my last text post i said that oh-aew is usually the more cautious/pragmatic of the two, but i feel like when it comes to his feelings, he seems to be really in tune with who and what he wants (more so than teh). this of course makes sense bc he’s likely had more time to come to terms with his sexuality...which is what teh’s figuring out for himself now. on top of that, oh-aew’s feelings for teh are a lot stronger than the ones he has for bas. and since he’s also more certain that teh likes him back, he’s so much bolder in how he approaches teh. and teh, to his credit, returns that honesty too when oh-aew basically pushes him into acknowledging that there’s ~something between them (hammock scene). i was kind of expecting him to push away from that/deny it, but he didn’t. he’s obviously just a lot more confused with his feelings and still needs some time to understand them and process them fully. on a related note, hammock scene was so loaded and SO well acted by the both of them. the fact that they can move from playful in one scene too achingly intense in another always throws me for a loop.
another thing i really love about the two of them is how they push one another to be better. it’s that rivalry that makes their bond even stronger, but it’s also something that worries me for future eps ngl...
but i honestly feel SO BAD for bas...clearly, he likes oh-aew, and although oh-aew was initially confused with the two of them, he’s definitely more convinced when it comes to his feelings for teh. but when bas essentially asked oh-aew out, and oh-aew said let’s invite the rest of they guys?? he looked so sad and my heart kind of broke a little. it’s like watching the poor second lead in a kdrama. and tarn too :( i really hope that when teh accepts his feelings for oh-aew, he doesn’t keep her hanging on the way that most BLs tend to do. she deserves so much better than that. my heart really hurts for the both of them, but at the same time teh and oh-aew are just magnets being pulled together at this point. they can’t stay away from each other.
the scene where teh rubs the smell of oh-aew’s coconut scented pen (from what he’s written) all over his face bc he’s at his limit and can’t stand all those pent up feelings anymore, only to race out to their special meeting place on the beach????? the moment he sees that oh-aew’s there too and he chases after him entranced (and the smile on oh-aew’s face)????? the way the instrumental ost just swells the moment they see each other????? the way they tease and dance around another yet again?????  PURE ART. A CINEMATIC MASTERPIECE. THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL DRAMA I HAVE EVER SEEN. this whole sequence has to be my fave scene in this ep. god, that part where the camera closes in on them and they’re face to face before oh-aew steps away again had my heart trying to flutter its way out of my CHEST. THEY HAVEN’T EVEN KISSED IN THE SERIES YET AND THEY CAN REDUCE ME TO THIS. honestly, their power is something else. the fact that they can stir so many emotions in all of us just by the way they glance at one another, by the way they dart around one another barely touching...there are dramas/movies with multiple kiss/love scenes that can’t even create that tension and longing. it’s the kind of chemistry that burns you inside out. it’s so palpable.
the thigh massage scene had me CAPTIVATED (like all their scenes tbh) and then teh’s mum came to wake me (and the both of them) up haha. but for real, there’s just something so tentative about what’s happening. these feelings are new to them, and they’re easing their way into it. always toeing the line, but not overstepping it yet. it’s primal. they keep letting those feelings build up more and more and more. and you can always feel the way it’s leading to something else. and of course it leads into the next scene where teh’s tutoring oh-aew again but the atmosphere is so incredibly heavy, so tight, that they can’t contain it anymore (i mean, the fact that they contained it for so long when they’re teenage boys with feelings for one another is already astounding enough to me). teh tries so hard, but then the back scratch happens and...THIS ICONIC SCENE...i thought they were going to kiss then (before oh-aew turned around), but then we got something else entirely and the intimacy of it all. just wow. literally not a single kiss and it was one of the most sensual scenes i have ever seen in a BL. it’s just the way they get so caught up in one another. THE YEARNING OF IT ALL. this whole ep was just pure anticipation, and i have never ever wanted two characters to kiss more than i do these two. it’s the build up that gets me (idk if this can be considered slow build since there’s only been like three eps but it sure as hell feels like it!!!!!!!!!). then teh pulls away and it’s like a smack in the gut...but at the same time, i get it. he’s not ready yet. there’s so much for him to take in and he’s not there yet (not the way oh-aew is), and just like oh-aew, it keeps us all hanging on, so close but not quite there yet.
so much of this felt like this cat and mouse game between the both of them where one of them would advance, then retract...it makes the tension between the two of them even MORE overwhelming bc you keep anticipating something, and you get fleeting moments of it, but then it’s over by the time you blink. they keep toying with one another, but not crossing the line YET bc they know that that’ll change everything the moment they do. it’s such a testament to the writing AND the acting bc it’s the chemistry that bkpp have with one another that creates all of that push and pull dynamic, that yearning and desire. having to wait a whole week again is just devastating...i think next ep seems like it might be the climax?? i’m pretty sure it’ll be the ep where teh accepts his feelings (or at least won’t be able to hold himself back physically anymore), where all the build up finally properly erupts, but at the same time, i just know that the angst is going to start piling up and idk how to feel other than terrified bc i’m way too invested now tbh.
anyway, this drama is absolutely magnificent, and all i want to do is rave about how damn good it is. so high quality. it feels so fresh, like they’re reinvented the tried and true coming of age tale in a way, and we’re all just along for the ride. it transcends the typical thai BL story (and i now understand why they were hesitant to label this as BL when it really feels like it encompasses so much more than the usual BL tropes and story). one of my fave dramas of the year by far (BL or otherwise). it’s just a class apart from any drama i’ve watched before and ticks every single box for me. stunning in every way. down to every detail and every feeling and emotion. it’s so raw and real and i can’t praise what nadao and the team have done with this enough (and we still have 2 more eps to go!!). there’s just so much meaning in every little thing, and in all those little things you can see the time and care it’s taken them to make this.
#wait have i talked about the ost and how they use music and silence in this bc it's brilliant!! perfection!!#i told sunset about you#itsay#bkpp#text#oh and not to mention the chinese lyrics being translated to thai STUNNING#nothing else can compare to how this series makes me feel i could write essays upon essays of my thoughts and it wouldn't be enough#it's the headiness of the two of them that has taken my apart in every way#this has felt like the longest week ever and this next week is going to feel even LONGER until the day i get a new ep once again#i think i prob have more things i want to say but i can't think of anything else off the top of my head i just needed to rant somewhere#normally i would just leave my thoughts and feelings in the tags but this is just too much the way the both of them overwhelm us all#you KNOW i'm gonna rewatch this again bc i can't help myself i really can't#i have a couple feelings on how the end could go and it absolutely worries everything inside of me bc there's A LOT of foreshadowing#going around and it's just got me feeling :///#climax next week (i'm pretty sure it'll be next week) is gonna feel like a volcanic explosion after all this waiting#i can't wait till we get the other teaser and i know what's happening in the next ep preview one too#we're getting the infamous neck kiss in ep 4 and it's gonna scrape out my insides just you fucking watch#i will sob until there is nothing left of me#didn't billkin describe the neck kiss as just the sauce???????? fuck i'm not ready I'M NOT READY#the way this is the only thing i want to talk about for days months years decades#the feel of it def reminds me of cmbyn and yeah i totally see it#it's the authenticity of it somehow

omg first i need to talk about nct at song festival (gayo daechukjae) umm first of all mark and taeyongs rap was so good but ofc we all knew they would kill it. and then in nct U class, teacher taeyong looked so good...the way he bit that pointer stick thing in the beginning was so sexc (and the hair and the glasses ahdsfasjf) 😳 but also sungchans rap in that?? i was not expecting that but why am i even surprised anymore.. and also misfit live?? i loved nct's school uniform concept too for some reason ahahaha
and then xiaojun in resonance!! wow yes go shine xj!!! (also idk why but i found it so funny when it was doyoung's turn after xj, but xj was kinda blocking dy (who was really walking with a PURPOSE) so dy lightly pushed him out of the way) and then omg shotaro!! offstage he is so 😊 but damn in hard carry he was so good!! ahh and then also the thing where all the kpop artists at gayo daechukjae sang that song was so cute (i smiled so hard when nct came up 🥺)
yea for my job situation i think it will be okay, i talked to some people i know/mentors about it too and i think things will work out...they always do in the end right? 😊 now about anime LOL this is making me wanna start/rewatch an anime now hahahah! honestly i kind of have phases where i alternate between kdramas and animes, but i havent rly watched anime much lately besides haikyuu (which i was also surprised was still airing (but it's only season 2 so far?)). kpop (aka NCT) has been consuming my life lmao but im here for it 😂
weightlifting fairy was also my first kdrama!! yes i can totally give u some kdrama recs! besides the ones i mentioned before (which are most of my top ones), i also liked chicago typewriter, marriage not dating (i love the fake relationship trope hahaha), dinner mate, sky castle (it's kinda intense but it's so good and an iconic kdrama), cheer up, another miss oh, kingdom (if you like zombie things)...i heard startup is good and i want to watch it soon too! also i continued watching more of uncanny counter these past few days and i love it (but it's ongoing so no binging)
okay now svt: i watched some of your recs and youre so right all their choreos are so satisfying?! i also actually agree with you about black on black, i liked black on black and it was cool but it only featured like 5 members lmao and in the svt choreos it does feel like all of them are featured in some way in each performance? plus their choreos are just so great to watch!! also i've had left and right stuck in my head since i watched it LOL but i agree it's objectively better than dynamite (not an army though; also pls nobody come at us for this lmaoo)
also super random but can you tell me who is the one in the red/purple plaid shirt in the svt home dance practice?? i am kinda attracted by his dance moves LOL and i havent learned names yet 😭 i will continue watching all ur svt recs though hehehe and update you on the status of my fangirling :))
omg wait also i would never have guessed that you're not an english speaker just from these messages!! how did you know that i was prob a native speaker haha (i guess *technically* cantonese is my first language, but then i learned english in school so now i'm obviously more native in that lol and english is the only language i can read/write in)
OMGGF IKR as a multi stan i really enjoyed the rap collab especially because i really love monsta x's rap line (esp i.m!!! his rapping skill 😍) and of course mark and taeyong!!!! 😭 our boys 😭 our golden rappers 😭 SLAYED IT! omg the nct u got me 😳 taeyong looked so good???? wtf? and also sungchan? damn that boy keeps surprising me! the interesting part to me was when one member(johnny if i remember correctly) bumped into taeyong but it was done on purpose and how he uhhh kinda shook his body and his head but it all looked so cool and he never stopped rapping!!! love how they all 'performed' misfit manifesting wild teenagers in school (as they are tbh) IT WAS SO FUN AND COOL!!!
XIAOJUN!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAS SO!!!!!! GOOD!!!!!!! THE CONFIDENCE??? THE STAGE PRESENCE????? XIAOJUN CENTER???? XIAOJUN BEING RELEVANT????? i live 😭 he was so good he looked so good i was so happy and i'm so proud of him 😭 from here the only way to go is up! i hope he keeps surprising us! and omg i haven't noticed that part when doyoung pushed him bc he blocked him?? and i just rewatched it and it looks funny 🤣 but they held everything professionally 😌  no surprises there 😌
OH MY GOD THE HARD CARRY PERFORMANCE!!!!!!!!! first of all our boy shotaro DAMN 😳 he looked so good you couldn’t say that he just debuted a few months ago!! such a dancing machine! (but honestly i am not surprised because in make a wish he was rly good and he debuted as a dancer i expected from him to be good™ as he is!) and i love the duality od him <3 yk that kind of idol that you want to protect at all cost but the next second they're the one you seek protection from? yeH sign me uP! and don't even get me started on hyunjin, juyeon and moonbin!!!!! but i mean all 3 of them are main dancers of course they would look good™ 😌 (yeah shotaro performed with 3 main dancers of 3 different groups i mean the honor??????)
the end of the festival was so wholesome! It was a serotonin boost and me too i also smiled the whole time! so cute 😭 and ot23 were cutiesssss
yes! everything will work out in the end! don't stress about it!<3 oh haikyuu only has 2 seasons? wtf hsgsjsgs ok then i just watched when it had like 13 episodes, WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT that's when i watched it lmao
OMG OK I HAVE WRITTEN DOWN ALL OF THESE DRAMAS (and from the previous ask) IN MY NOTES SO FAR im mostly excited about the fake relationship one 👀 i love fake relationship trope, too 🤧 oh no binging?? is that your thing?? usually i love to wait for the show to finish airing and then i binge watch it in a few days (or one day depends how busy i am)
SEVENTEEN!!!!: yeah all of their choreos are so satisfying (pointing this out one more time) they always pay attention to details (for example in home, bc you're familiar with it, they even choreograph the hands and pay attention to them while most of the other kpop choreos very often freestyle the whole arms sjagaj) here's a fun fact abt svt that makes me love them so much agsgsj: they're self produced! they produce their own music and they even come up with their own choreos!! (of course not on their own, woozi is a producer but he's not making songs on his own he coproduces them with [a producer name bc i guess that's irrelevant but if you’re curious: bumzu], they come up with their own choreo (to be precise, hoshi does! he is 1/2 main dancers in group and he is the main choreographer! he doesn't do everything on his own of course, he gets help from the rest of the performance team (which is a svt subunit consisted of their 2 main and 2 lead dancers: hoshi, dino, the8, jun) and of course some other infamous kpop choreography teams) and i think that, by now, all the members were credited at least once for the lyrics
I'M SO GLAD YOU HAVE LEFT AND RIGHT STUCK IN YOUR HEAD HAGSJSSGSG but i mean of course you would it's soo good and soo catchy (yeahhh no worries, this army has already gotten minor hate for having controversial opinions™ and for criticising her faves so idc anymore 💁🏻‍♀️ it's my opinion as a dancer and i stand by it, even can't you see me by txt is better than dynamite so literally 3 dance performance were better!!!! in a way!!!! and neither of the 3 won!!! yes i am salty!!!!!)
the guy in the red/purple shirt (the center guy when they do the 3 dances for the first time right??) IS DINO!!!! he's the maknae and 2/2 main dancers in svt so!!! of course you would be attracted by his moves!!!!!! JSGSJSN i'm curious to see if you end up staning svt and biasing dino hsfsjsgsha
CANTONESE IS YOUR FIRST LANGUAGE? damn i thought you couldn’t get more interesting here's a dumb question: can you understand xiaojun, hendery and lucas without titles??? not that i would know if they ever speak cantonese in front of the camera for i don't know the difference between chinese dialects</3

Hello hello! If it isn’t a bother, could I request the RFA+V w/ an MC that they had been a fan of? Like MC is a popular comedian, YouTuber, actress, etc that they liked. Oof I hope this isn’t like,,, way confusing. Thank you so so much and have a nice day/night!
thank you for sending this!! this is actually such a cute idea,,, thank you for being patient with me, i know i’ve been slow with catching up to requests……. but here we go!! i tried to make it relate to their interests, but not too similar..? if that makes sense,,
rfa+v with an mc they were a fan of
yoosung- gaming youtuber!!!- when you logged onto the chat,, your username looked oddly close to the one he was subscribed to on youtube…- he just took it as a coincidence, maybe you were just a fan?? - yeah, that must be it.. that explains how you know all the games he plays and liked to nerd out with him right???- he kind of tricked himself into that mindset really well and kind of forgot about it- until the day of the party,,,- he sees you and wHAA???- is-is that the same person i asked out…?- he starts freaking out oH MY GOD ITS ACTUALLY THEM????- hes so amazed and blushing bc ohny god i knew your voice was familiar i used to fall asleep listening to it omg i hope that wasnt creepy- but,, he feels so guilty,,,, hes such a huge fan and knows so much about you - he apologizes so much and ur just like wtf??? youre just super supportive thats all i can ask of you- hes literally just in so much shock when he finds out like IM DATINGA THEM??
zen- musical performer!!- its been his dream to meet you, you were one of his biggest inspirations- you managed to be so talented at such a young age, hes always wanted to interview you and get personal advice- when you logged in, you used your real first name instead of your performing one, so he just thought you had the same name by coincidence- but when you came over to his house and he opened the door to see,,??- you just smiled and went “zen!!” and he..- his heart went doki doki,,- he just stuttered and let you in, asking if you were the same mc from the chat- when you explained you were in fact the same mc (you just used your first name to avoid extra drama/suspicion), he just starts rambling about how big of a fan he is and that youve always been a huge inspiration- hes cautious about advancements after that, he doesnt want you thinking its just because youre famous- youve offered to help him out, but he refuses and says he wants to earn his fame on his own- will take a while to tell the press about your relationship but POWER COUPLE!!!!!- he really praises you so much and is constantly asking for your validation and opinion.. hes swooning
jaehee- music artist!!- i think she really likes more soothing and mellow music, and youre a bit famous in that genre because of your singing!!- she came across your music one day and just fell in love- youre voice is so beautiful and it calms her so much,, she so thankful- like the others, she just ignores your username and plays it off as a coincidence- when she calls you for the first time, shes really surprised because okay THAT sounds familiar- but shes still denying it skskd- but when she meets you for the first time she ?? UHH- yeah ok no denying it now- shes telling you how much your music helped her and how talented she thinks you are- she,, will ask you to sing her to sleep oh my god please….
jumin- kdrama actor!!- we all know how much he watches and,, he saw one in particular that got him interested- hes never really checked out certain actors before, but there was something about how you spoke and reflected your emotions that captivated him- hes watched all your films and loves every single one- when you entered the chatroom, he makes a small comment about liking an actor with the same name- “haha i get that a lot..”- cue seven smirking behind the monitor- but when you showed up at his door, hes shook???- *runs to tear down poster in his room* “h-hello mc *cough* w-welcome”- youre the first celebrity hes ever gotten into and now youre here at his door??- are we in a simulation?????- bro sarah cant even try to compete now lololol- that scene he recited to her? yeah, those were your lines- he insists you watch your films together with him and he makes comments during romantic scenes about reenacting them- c&r has suddenly taken an interest in using celebrities for marketing and collaborations….
seven- comedian!!- he secretly steals your jokes and says them in the gc - but when you log in the chat and he does the background check hes so shook??- when all your messages are funny one liners and puns,, hes smiling so big- will have joke-offs with you- you call him out when he accidentally recycles some of your well known lines - when you meet irl hes so IN LOVE by how quick you are with your wit,,- he will counter your roasts with more roasts and its an endless cycle- comes to every show and is so supportive god can we appreciate him- nobody can stand being in the same room as yall fr
v- artist!!- he found you on social media when you were a smaller account, holding less than 2k followers- and he watched you grow and get famous, now with half a million- when you entered the chatroom, you used your real name instead of the online alias, so he didnt think anything of it- but he noticed a familiar speech pattern, brushing it off as just a common trend and coincidence- youve never shared your face online, so seeing you (not blind i guess…) wasnt a big deal- but he came over once and what???? - he walks into the studio and recognizes almost half the paintings- youre mc the artist online wHAT??????- hahahahahahhahaaaaa- you try to brush it off and belittle yourself but hes not having it- he bought prints of that one painting right there so stfu- he takes his time to tell you about how much he loves your work and how long youve been a fan- … and you explain how youve been a fan of his work for a long time too- this obviously means POWER COUPLE!!!!!!!!! (yall know me so well)- youre the inspiration that helps him start painting again and hes so thankful and proud of you
thank you for reading!! check out my masterlist for more!!

Bar Goer
who?: JBJ’s Kim Donghan
genre: 🌸
type: bullet point
TW: alcohol
blog navigator.
donghan isn’t very successful at finding true love at clubs but trying doesn’t hurt anyone
inspired by kdrama ‘Tempted (The Great Tempter)
I’m so upset that jbj is going to disband so quickly 😭😭😭 it’s just a HUGE disappointment. This request went straight to the top of my priority list. They deserve to disband with dignity.
I’ll probably still take requests for them - same with W1 - bc I love them so much.
Thanks for requesting anon!!

bc he deserves more

DO NOT READ IF TRIGGERING
~
No one has heard of a seducer greater than Kim Donghan
he had cherry lips, shielding a bitterly sweet tongue
he walked with a wicked stride, confident and narcissistic
Donghan was fresh out of school, just a 20 year old
yet, the neighbourhood gossip column stated he had wormed his way into the heart of a much older woman
she was his classmate’s mother
the reason he spent all night flattering her with sweet nothings and a couple of deep kisses?
likely because he wanted free alcohol for himself
why had he gone to that particularly expensive club only open to the guest list?
because his best friend and partner in crime, Hyunbin, had gotten free entry for both of them
troublemakers, those two
Donghan would go to that extent for free drinks
and he had the highest alcohol tolerance out of the people in his class
crazy
all the caused was chaos
Donghan would seduce anyone, anything, for whatever reason
if it was given by his other best friend, the aristocratic Kim Sanggyun
or if he felt like it was worth the chase and effort
some people nicknamed the trio TriK
Tri for three
K for Kwon and double Kim
and TriK for how deceiving they look
they trio played pranks on everyone and anyone
their other close friends, Taehyun, Kenta and Yongguk were helpless to stop them
tbh they didn’t really care as long as Taehyun did not have to wake up at 3am to bail Hyunbin out of jail
besides, it wasn’t like TriK to be so mundane and muted
they just bore too bright and wild personalities
Taehyun let out a disgruntled sigh. ‘Donghan, if I receive one more angry text for a heart broken person, I’m doing to snap your neck.’
Donghan simply shrugged, a knowing grin on his face
people liked to think Taehyun was the most responsible in the clique and often went to him for advice or to take revenge on Donghan
like Donghan ever cared about what his hyungs had to say about him
they too had given up long ago and just let him carry out his activities
it wasn’t like seducing was fatal
or was it?
‘Hyung, don’t be mad. I’m here, I bought you your favourite sushi from Tokyo! Cheer up!’ lovesick Hyunbin attempted to lift Sanggyun’s sulky mood.
he only pressed his lips into a thin line and twirled his chopsticks in his hands
‘it isn’t fair how she just moves on so quickly just two years after she signed divorce papers,’ he seethed. ‘Does she want the chairman or does she want JK group?’
it had been a long day of settling unpleasant affairs
to begin with, Sanggyun was forced to attend some gala that his mother’s company, Myeong Jeong Healthcare had organised
smile for the cameras
talk to stuck up ‘friends’ or ‘diplomatic allies’ who cared about nothing else than the Kim family’s bank account
entertain guests
To end the dessert course on the sweetest note possible, his mother announced her engagement to JK Group’s chairman
more commonly addressed as Kim Donghan’s father
Donghan too was obliged attend and witnessed the announcement
It was too soon after his father had erased any trace of him from his life
throwing out of the family home just hours after Donghan’s graduation ceremony
Donghan had disappeared shortly following the loud declaration
he was last seen driving off in a red sports car that was not registered under his name
Sanggyun had finally released all his pent-up frustration, throwing wine glasses at walls and crunching him up in his hands
his shouts shook the whole building from the carpark level
Hyunbin’s effort was useless
Sanggyun was not to be stopped
in the end, Sanggyun had to be hospitalised because of his injuries and emotional distress
obviously, he wasn’t one for bland hospital food so Hyunbin had made sure to grab his favourite
meanwhile, Donghan was out somewhere by himself, most likely equally traumatised
the next day, Donghan paid Sanggyun a visit
‘I can’t stand this,’ Sanggyun whined, referring to his hospital gown and IV drip.
which Hyunbin had been desperately tried to keep in place
uhh by preventing Sanggyun from ripping it out
perhaps he also meant that he couldn’t stand Donghan’s dad marrying his mum
‘Let’s go somewhere, do something,’ Donghan suggested.
‘whenever you say that...you mean let’s go clubbing...’ Hyunbin raised his eyebrows
his friend’s lips stretched into a smile. ‘Why not? I know of a new club that just opened.’
Hyunbin crossed his arms over his chest, pressing his lips into a thin line. ‘I think it’ll be best if we just called pizza and chicken in. Right, Sanggyun? You love that chicken place down the road.’
how the hell am I going to manage to emotionally unstable drunk boys?
‘Actually,’ Sanggyun began, tearing at his IV drip. ‘Checking out that new club sounds nice and we’ll call pizza in to cure the hangover.’
he wanted the thick liquid to burn as it slipped down his throat
Donghan felt like he just needed the adrenaline from clubs, maybe grab a drink or two but he didn’t feel like inhaling alcohol tonight
he just wanted some time away from all the chaos
hyunbin knew the night wasn’t going to end in the most spectacular fashion but that never stopped him from hopping in
‘There are too many nurses and security on duty as of now,’ Donghan hissed, teeth gritted
the quicker they left and arrived back the better
less suspicious
less problematic
less chaotic
a bundle of black nylon was shoved into his hands.
unravelling the package, his hands met with sturdy rope
‘hyung, you never come unprepared,’ he whispered in disbelief. His hyungs were always so unpredictable
Hyunbin locked the door behind him as Donghan pushed the window open
they were lucky to have gotten such a hospital ward 
imagine if the windows were sealed 
but no, Sanggyun threw a fuss about how he was allergic to some chemicals
the contractor was in to redo some windows of different wards 
Sanggyun hastily slipped into the different set of clothes and fluffed up the blanket to make it look like he was asleep 
with a thud, the rope landed on the other side of the wall
the knot reeling to keep it secure 
under the pastel hues of sunset, three boys shimmied down the wall of a hospital
the moon reached its peak by the time they set off for an adventure
~
for Kim Donghan, getting into some of the city’s most exclusive clubs was no big deal
he just had to cut the line and give the bouncer a small smile before the velvet rope was pulled back and he was ushered through the doors 
he did frequent clubs quite a bit 
but most of the time it was to meet Hyunbin or Sanggyun 
it didn’t necessarily mean he got hammered 24/7 
he just found the atmosphere one to suit his mood at given times 
strobe lights, loud music, the scent of sweat and alcohol almost seemed more welcoming than the icy draft that wafted through his ‘father’s’ house 
a/n: in the drama, a reason why Sihyun gets kicked out is as he isn’t the legitimate son of his ‘father’
from what I know 
please don’t spoil it for me 😬🙏🏼
Donghan takes on Sihyun’s role, Sanggyun as Sooji and Hyunbin as Sejoo 
but tonight, Donghan just feels like having a beer before napping on the plush seats in the VIP lounge 
there was no room for hooking up or ruining someone’s ego today 
that was his plan 
if he succeeded in getting through the insane VIP line 
usually, the VIP line would have one - the most two people - in it 
however, tonight was strangely packed 
he was Kim Donghan
if there was an event, he would have been informed of it by his contacts 
but he hadn’t even heard anything on the grapevine about tonight 
weird 
Sanggyun was beginning to get impatient, worried about how he was going to explain himself to his mother should they be caught 
‘I’ll go check out the situation up front.’ Donghan pushed and squeezed his way through until he could see the doors 
after some eavesdropping, he concluding the club was hosting someone’s birthday 
‘hey, you!’ someone yelled. ‘Don’t cut the line, dick move.’ 
Donghan wanted to roll his eyes but he controlled himself, flashing his signature grin that made even people with the most concrete hearts melt into a puddle of cement 
unfortunately, it only earned him an icy cold glare from the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen 
oh, how he wished they would be filled with adoration instead of annoyance 
the girl it’s been so long since we specified genders scoffed at him, then returned to chatting with her friends 
Donghan felt a pang of guilt - an emotion he rarely felt 
he slipped back into his spot in the queue 
thankfully, Sanggyun and Hyunbin were too engaged in a chitchat to mind him much
staff came a few minutes later to clear the customers into the club 
Donghan ignored the bar and the impressive array of drinks, mood spoiled by the earlier interaction 
for the next half an hour, he spent it wallowing on the VIP room couch, crunching on the occasional snack 
red had spread across Sanggyun’s face like a sunburn as he sipped his brew
Hyunbin was more concerned about keeping his friends sober than drinking 
but we all know this boy can drink 
‘this is no fun,’ Sanggyun started to whine. ‘We came to forget about being sad but we’re just crying in the club.’ 
‘it’s better than sobbing in the hospital,’ he added quietly 
• Hyunbin nudged Donghan in the ribs. ‘Come on, our little seducer, who do you fancy tonight?’ 
Donghan stared off into space, propping his face in his hands, his mind not even pondering about it. 
carelessly, he replied, ‘I’ll talk to whoever walks through the doors next.’ 
that person would mostly be someone he was already acquainted with 
you had to be extraordinary to access the VIP lounge 
TriK was no exception 
His friends snickered. ‘Done deal.’ 
Donghan did NOT expect the next person to be you 
he regretted his words
such an impetuous comment, what a grave mistake 
Sanggyun threw his hands into a clap, pouting lips tugged into a smirk
‘there’s your target, Romeo.’
swearing, Donghan took a sip of Hyunbin’s beer
he observed as you approached the private bar and perched on one of the barstools, chatting up the mixologist like he was your best friend 
nerves began to settle into his stomach like never before 
whatever  
I’ve done this more than a billion times, what could be so different about this one? 
Donghan moved to the twin barstool before anyone else could take his place 
he winked at the bartender, cueing his usual drink 
seeing it was the insolent young man you had previously encountered, you edged further away from him 
‘waiting for someone?’ 
you turned at the sound of his deep voice, meeting his sultry smirk and dark eyes 
sucking back a snarky reply, you only uttered a finite ‘yes’. 
‘shall I accompany you?’ 
such a try hard 
you refrained from rolling your eyes, instead, you sent a killer smile his way
‘no need. I don’t associate myself with people like you,’ you bit back 
ouch,,, that has got to sting 
panicked, Donghan sampled his drink, brain clogs reeling to come up with an answer 
he feigned nonchalance, shrugging his shoulders which shifted his shirt to show off a pair of defined collarbones 
‘excuse me.’ you began to slip out of your seat. ‘I came here with a purpose and with friends, so...I’m not wasting any more time with you.’
arrows shot into Donghan’s heart and smashed it into smithereens 
the feeling he had was completely foreign, they felt like cupid’s arrows 
he was baffled by the new wave of emotions 
hmm cupid had spoken, there would be another chance won’t there be?
~
‘who cares?’ your best friend yelled after hearing your story. ‘He’s so hot! There won’t be any strings attached anyway. That’s why we came anyway, isn’t it?’ 
you cringed, pulling a face at her reaction 
he was kind of hot though...
‘you HAVE to grab him before others do! I see he’s caused quite a stir.’ 
her words were true, quite a number of people swarmed that guy and his bunch of friends as they emerged from the VIP lounge 
I’ll see if he makes a move first 
your glass slams down on the table, making your way to the dance floor 
across the club, Donghan spots your figure immediately
he keeps his eyes trained on you as you sway to the music, moving your hips to the beat 
to your surprise, Donghan simply flittered off into the crowd without even making eye contact 
oh 
disappointment flooded you for some odd reason 
an hour ago, you were disgusted by his presence and even shooed him off 
now, you wanted his attention...desperately 
blame the hormones 
still, this sort of behaviour was so unlike yours
@ spiked alcohol 
don’t spike anyone’s alcohol, that shit ain’t cool and it’s so gross and uncalled for 
you retired to a quieter corner of the bar, feet aching from the killer heels 
you felt someone’s arm lean against the bar counter, trapping you in your seat 
‘where’s your friend?’ the same voice asked. 
‘hmm, not here right now,’ you whispered, voice low. ‘But you are.’ 
Donghan chose to ignore your latter comment, playing hard to get. 
‘having a fun night?’ he made sure his eyes met yours for at least 10 seconds before breaking away for 11 seconds 
you paused, deliberating on your answer. 
yes or yes but in italics
doing something crazy for once wouldn’t hurt you 
‘no,’ you replied, tone huskier than before. ‘not without you.’ 
damn sweetie wyd
before you knew it, Donghan’s lips were inches away from yours, beckoning you to close the gap 
ask before you kiss anybody 
your lips captured his and his hands trailed down the curves of your waist, finding their seating on your hips 
I’m reading my bible 8 times after this brb 
he tasted like sour lemon and spicy vodka, tampered with a hint of cherry cola 
his lips were plump and experience, puckered at a certain angle, tilted to a certain degree 
it was electrifying, terrifying almost 
unintentionally, you pressed closer to him, only craving more 
and causing a whirlwind of pretty butterflies to flutter in his stomach 
idk shit abt kissing too i’ve only kissed my dog 
Donghan finally pulled away to catch a breath, his hands left your form and rested on the seat of the barstool instead 
*denies second kiss* • he was toying with you, making you crave more, driving you insane with his teasing 
‘tell me your name,’ you demanded, cheeks heating up 
he chuckled in response, deep and growly yet playful 
‘It’s Donghan.’ 
Donghan moved to the other side of the bar, possibly only to get water but you followed him - not with just your eyes
he kept you company, offering small tipsy talk but refused any of your further advances 
from time to time, he made a flirtatious remark or played with your hair, maybe dropped a compliment or two
you forced yourself to respond neutrally to them 
eventually, his friends caught up with him
one was flushed pink and the other was supporting him 
they needed him to leave 
‘when will I see you again,’ you blurted out. ‘I want to.’ 
Donghan only smiled, giving your hand a light squeeze 
it was unclear if his gestures were out of assurance or a farewell  
you had to see him 
some unexplainable attraction willed you to 
you would hanker after him if you had to 
‘you want to know more, you’ll have to cave into the chase, sweetheart.’ 
how sweet 
you didn’t understand why people got themselves dead drunk at clubs when they could do this instead

goblin!jinyoung;
Tumblr media
for the request for spirit!jinyoung!! i changed it up quite a bit as you can see, so hopefully you like the idea
this is also heavily based off goblin, the kdrama, but it doesn’t follow the same storyline, so much as it just uses its definition of the goblin and life consequences of the goblin
so, the world has all kinds of ideas about what a goblin is
some people see them as these short little demonic monsters that run around stealing people’s money, some see them as handsome middle aged men in trench coats and turtle necks i mean it’s really open for debate at this point
jinyoung… is much closer to the latter
now, there’s a difference between a european goblin and the korean equivalent, dokkaebi
biggest difference: european goblins are rude af and dokkaebi are actually pretty friendly and kind
for centuries upon centuries, dokkaebi have had their stories told, usually as playful spirits that inhabit household objects stained with human blood
some people like them, some people do not
dokkaebi can be innocently childish, but there are certain kinds that bring about misery and mayhem
most korean folklore doesn’t acknowledge the possibility of a dokkaebi taking the form of a human however, bc… it’s never actually been done before??
so it’s pretty freaking weird when jinyoung comes along
now, jinyoung has been alive since the goryeo period
he was the royal advisor to a king, and was pretty well known as one of the smartest people in the kingdom
he knew things that others could only dream of, and he was able to advise the king in such a way that the king of that time was pretty much worshipped as a god
little did many people outside of the palace know, the king was merely following jinyoung’s advice
for a long time, jinyoung was pretty happy with this setup, and since he and the king were best friends since childhood, he never had to want for anything
sometimes the king would be like “yo bro get you a girl you look sad af doing nothing all day”
but “nothing” to the king was everything to jinyoung
jinyoung was an avid reader, and would spend most of his free time out in the gardens drinking tea and reading, or listening to the royal band play, or watching the old maids knit
they’d happily just let him sit in and listen to all the shit-talking cause they trusted jinyoung and knew he wasn’t no snitch lol
he was just extremely peaceful back then, and if you had asked him how he’d feel if he was going to be killed the next day, he’d say he’d be dying the happiest man in all of korea, which was pretty true
but all of that changed when the king got a wife
the king had never met her, had seen her in paintings at most, and just knew she was a princess from somewhere and that they’d be officiating the marriage within a week
the king didn’t seem very excited about getting married, so he came to jinyoung for advice
“jinyoung… what if we don’t get along? or what if she falls for someone else in the kingdom?”
and since the king is still young, jinyoung feels super bad for him and constantly reassures him that no one could possibly be better for the new queen than the king himself, which helped put the king’s worries to rest
that was, until of course, jinyoung met her
jinyoung had went on a short trip through town in search of a birthday present for one of the old maids he was friends with, when he saw a woman in bright clothing run past him, being trailed by a group of guards shoving their way through the crowd
jinyoung throws caution to the wind and catches her, leading her through narrow alleyways and past giggling children in an attempt to lose the guards
and once they finally had, the woman had profusely thanked jinyoung for his help, and, in return, she offered to buy him a meal somewhere the guards wouldn’t find her
now at this, jinyoung was kinda skeptical cause like?? yo i know i just saved your ass out of instinct but you could actually be like a thief or something
and she just laughs and promises that if anything goes wrong, she’d put in a good word with the king
to which jinyoung laughs it off like haha yeah if anyone is gonna explain themselves to the king it’s me
but then she removes her veil and introduces her self, and jinyoung is like…. 
that’s the queen. she’s supposed to be getting married. to the king. arriving at the palace today
when jinyoung’s eyes widen she nods her head, seeming convinced of something and she’s like “i knew you were noble by your clothes and speech, but i can tell by the look on your face that you’re much closer to the palace then i first assumed. you must know me?”
and jinyoung just nods, kinda dumbstruck that he just helped the future queen escape her guards and fuck he has some explaining to do when he drags her ass back to the palace
he’s about to ask exactly why he just had to save her but she just. plops down on the dirt road, messing up her royal dress and lets her legs fall out like a little kid and she shrugs “i told them i wanted to travel to the palace by foot instead of this big show they’re trying to put on, and they wouldn’t listen so i bolted the first chance i got”
and while she’s looking around, playing with dogs as they pass by or starting up conversations with the young children dancing around in the field nearby, he’s just kind of looking at her
like really looking at her
and she looks so young, younger than the king and he by a few years
and maybe it’s because she just exhibits so much youth and freedom at such a young age
or maybe it’s because he knows that youth will be stolen from her the moment the king puts that ring on her finger
but something in him just vows to preserve it in whatever way he can
which, had ultimately, become his demise
jinyoung, having been close friends with the king since they were children, knew every fatal flaw of the king
from his playfully competitive side to his unclean habits, which makes jinyoung the best advisor because he knows the king inside and out, like the back of his own hand
but one thing he had never bet on fully consuming him was the king’s jealousy
he had seen it when the king was young. jinyoung hadn’t necessarily grown up noble like everyone else, but had befriended the prince despite most protests in the kingdom, and the king had elected to take jinyoung from his parents as to raise him in the safety and comfort of the palace, right beside his son, jinyoung’s inseparable best friend
sometimes the king would dote on jinyoung like a son, and since the prince had never had someone around who was on the same level as he, he had been considerably jealous at times, having to share with jinyoung things he didn’t want to
jinyoung had learned to reserve himself in places the prince would not feel threatened i.e., the library, the gardens, or his own room
jinyoung was to give advice softly, calmly, in a way that wouldn’t make him look like he was backseat ruling
and he had done well!! but something about jinyoung getting close with the future queen had turned all his efforts to naught
what was innocent companionship and friendly teasing had rubbed the king the wrong way, and suddenly the king could no longer see jinyoung as a friend, but as a threat
and even though jinyoung had only the best intentions toward the royal couple, when the king pulled him aside to question his feelings for the queen head-on…. jinyoung couldn’t lie
it had been the product of conversations over tea in the gardens and scholarly musings over the books jinyoung had collected, and it had quickly spiraled into jinyoung growing a fondness for the queen that he could not suppress for long
but he had tried, god did he try
but no matter how quickly he would leave the room when she entered, or how cold he made his demeanor toward her, she never backed down
she would reach out to him again and again, him being the only friend that she had in all the palace
and even though the king’s jealousy had made itself known to her, she wasn’t backing down without a fight
because god help any man who tried to decide her fate for her
in the end, jinyoung had committed an act of treason, and the king made very sure to over-exaggerate the details of how jinyoung felt, and made sure to shame the queen in the process
and, at the time, jinyoung had made it very clear to the queen not to say anything about their friendship that would damn her any more than necessary, as he already knew his fate
but she did not
the queen had been doing as told the entire time, hoping to god the king would just demote jinyoung or something small that wouldn’t hurt him too much
but then the king mentioned that the punishment for treason is death, and she just lost it
she was suddenly throwing herself at the king, enraging him as she made claim after claim about his behavior and she was so obviously trying to egg him on
and jinyoung made the mistake of trying to comfort her, to stop her while she still had a chance to stay out of the king’s line of anger
the moment his hands came in contact with her shoulders, the king sentenced them both to death, a death fitting for two “adulterous” lovers
he tied jinyoung to a pole in the middle of nowhere, dousing him in alcohol while the queen was forced to watch
before the king dropped a lit match at jinyoung’s feet, he ordered a sword be plunged in his wife’s chest, and the heavens practically ripped open at the scream that tore from jinyoung’s throat
the queen’s last moments were of her looking at jinyoung, her eyes losing life quick as blood gushed from her body and she fell at his feet, dead
jinyoung didn’t even have time to mourn before the same sword was being stabbed into his chest
he coughs up blood as the king laughs, mad and angry and all kinds of evil, and he swears to jinyoung that there will never be a life where he can have the queen
jinyoung can barely feel the flames that begin to lick at his body, his mind and heart focused solely on the woman he had grown to love laying nearly lifeless on the ground, gasping in the last bits of air she could get
and jinyoung’s blood trickles down in a pool, but he just manages to say a quick prayer for her soul in hopes that she’d find peace in another life, right as the burning pain envelops him whole
he should have turned to ash then, but once the flames had died out, he was still alive??
the ropes had burned off of him so he was free to stand again, and while he was covered in charred skin, he was able to pull it off like clothing, revealing fresh, untouched skin underneath
he looks around and realizes it’s been a while, as when he had been sentenced to death it had been summer, but now winter was quickly approaching
he could not find the queen either, and he wondered if the king and his men had taken her body back to the palace after she had died
and so jinyoung travels for miles, cold and confused and oh so heartbroken because the woman he had loved so much had been killed because of his foolish feelings
he travels until a mother spots him and brings him in to clothe him, asking him exactly who he was and why he was all alone in the cold
and jinyoung still doesn’t understand why he’s still alive, why he didn’t burn up with the ground and the ropes that had bound him. he only knew that he felt something heavy in his chest, like the weight of the sword he’d been killed with
and while the sword isn’t physically there, it glimmers and stands proud in the middle of his chest, his hands going through it every time he attempts to grab hold of it
he is then told by the divinity of that world that he is to live with the sword in his chest for the rest of his life, until he finds the goblin’s bride who will ultimately remove it and put him at peace, as she and she alone is the only person who can perform this task
so this goes on for centuries, jinyoung living different lives and traveling near and far to start new ones
he started off working at the restaurant of the mother who’d taken him in, and as she watched her children age and grow, she could only wonder why he would not
he saw her off when she died, and then the children too, and people started wondering if he was magic or not, so he had to run
in each life, he lives differently, but each life without a purpose or a home to go back to
he doesn’t really understand why he must continue to live and watch his loved ones die with no bride in sight, he just thinks that maybe the divinity hated him a little more than everyone else
jinyoung wanted to be bitter too, but did he really deserve such luxury? he was, after all, the man that stole his best friend’s wife
even though jinyoung hid it well, the guilt that tore him up inside everyday had started to eat at him like a disease, and all he could wish and hope for was that he’d be released from this life completely by the bride
he ends up moving back to korea after the next group of people he’s grown to love passes on, and the whispers of ghosts near and far talk a lot about the goblin’s bride
while ghosts are afraid of goblins by nature, he manages to corner a few to ask about how much they knew
and it turns out that a lot of people have been seeing a girl around, someone that could speak to spirits and could possibly be the bride
and at this!! jinyoung was ecstatic!! i mean he had been living for so long that he had started to hate the very air he breathed, and now he was that much closer to the person who could save him from this never ending misery
though, the ghosts are usually too afraid to help him in his search for the bride, and he starts to wonder if maybe it was all just rumors to send him on a wild goose chase
until
“when i wished for a boyfriend, i honestly didn’t think it’d come true so fast” you say, sitting in front of a cake, candles freshly blown out
one second, jinyoung was reading in his living room, and the next he’s sitting in a cramped car with you in the driver’s seat, a small cake in your lap no larger than the expanse of jinyoung’s hand, and your eyes blown wide
“i…. what just happened?” jinyoung asks, looking between you, the cake, and his surroundings
at least he’s still in korea lol
“are you another ghost? because if you are, i’m sorry but i’m not helping you play pranks on your friends. last time i almost got beat up in an alley-” “ghost? you see ghosts?”
and you just roll your eyes like “duh!! how else did you just appear in the passenger seat of my car unless you’re a ghost? you must have just recently died, you haven’t gotten the hang of things yet. just stay calm” you reach a hand out to touch jinyoung’s hand as if to comfort him, but when you feel that his skin is warm like yours, you shriek and yank back, looking at him like he’s the crazy one
“y-your hands should be freezing cold” you stutter, looking at him once more and really getting a good look
he’s still in his comfortable plaid pajama pants and a warm cream sweater, even adorning a pair of bunny slippers (they were a gift from a friend okay) and he looks absolutely nothing like a ghost does, because even his skin isn’t pale, and he’s not emitting a cold aura like most do
he feels almost perfectly, unbelievable alive
“i’m not a ghost, i’m a goblin. i must be the first you’ve seen”
“well yeah, but i mean… wait… did you say you’re the goblin?” suddenly you’re dropping your cake into his hands and he’s fumbling to keep the strawberry flavored icing from staining his expensive sweater, his eyes narrowing as you lean into him with a suspicious look
you’re too close for comfort and he presses himself up against the door as much as possible, about to tell you off for being so intrusive before something clicks inside of him
how had you known about ghosts and goblins so casually?
there were always kids who could see through the tricks of ghosts at young ages, and a few elderly as well, but he’d never met a girl your age who could see the supernatural like this
“i am a goblin, yes…. why do you ask 👀”
“i didn’t say a goblin, i said the goblin. as in… my husband, the goblin” you say, your lips twitching into a smile
suddenly he realizes why you’re so happy to see him, and he’s immediately shoving your cake back into your hands with fumbling fingers, pushing himself out of your parked car as he attempts to ignore the looks of those staring at his bunny slippers
he doesn’t even know why he’s running, but the fact that he’s met you so suddenly has him reeling, and he’s sprinting for the nearest door in sight, you trailing off not too far behind
as soon as he reaches the door to a phone booth, he thrusts himself inside, using his magic to transport him back home and through his front door
as soon as he steps on to the wood floors of his home, he lets out a loud sigh of relief and runs a hand through his hair to collect himself
and then something rams right into his back
“whoa, nice digs” you mumble under your breath, looking around the mansion
jinyoung has never screamed so high-pitched before
“you!!! you followed me through a portal!! that’s not possible???” he shouts, pointing at you with an accusing finger
“you might have an advantage with those long legs of yours, but you’re forgetting i’m the goblin’s bride. i can follow you anywhere” you giggle, tucking your hands behind your back as you sway from side to side
suddenly you’re bounding off across his house, poking and prodding at everything in sight with a childish gleam and he’s just like…. what in the h e l l
“you can’t honestly be the bride” jinyoung huffs, watching as you shoot him an offended look
“then how did i call you? only a goblin’s bride can do that” 
“how did you call me? i’m still lost on that” jinyoung asks
“i don’t really know. i just remember lighting the candles on my birthday cake and wishing for something before blowing them out. then you appeared”
and even though that’s not really the most important thing happening at the moment, he still can’t help himself from whispering a tentative “happy birthday” under his breath, of that which you grin at
“well, what did you wish for?” he asks, wondering if maybe you had thought of him specifically
“money” you say nonchalantly, and his eyes narrow at you all the more, “and… a purpose. in life. i guess you must be my purpose after all, i was starting to think you’d never show”
and even as you look at him like he’s the answer to all your problems, like you’ve found a gold rush in his eyes, all he can think of is how you feel so familiar
carefully, he approaches you and you watch him with curious eyes, unable to hide the bubbling excitement in your chest at finally finding the reason for your being
and then he’s grabbing your arm and pulling you toward the front door and back where he’d found you, right outside the phone booth
“if you’re really the bride, call me again” and then he’s heading through the door again, making sure to shut it behind him this time so you don’t follow
he waits, and he waits, and he waits, but minutes turn into hours and it seems you can’t call him at all, so he decides that it had been some freak blip in the structure of the universe and you, in fact, weren’t his bride
he settles back into reading again, or at least tries to, but his mind is just overflowing with thoughts of you and why he found you so familiar
and no matter how hard he tries to get you out of his head, he can’t help wondering why he’d appeared to you like that if you weren’t the goblin’s bride
it’s just when he’s fresh out of the shower, a towel wrapped around his torso, that he starts noticing smoke is rising from his skin in a peculiar way
and then suddenly he’s freezing and naked and standing in the middle of a park, nothing but a towel to cover his body
and you’re there on a nearby bench, a burned out match in hand as your eyes slowly open to take him in
“should i have called another time?
he swears you had psychic abilities and called him when he was half naked on purpose
from that moment on, it’s pretty obvious that you are the bride, but for some reason jinyoung just. doesn’t want to accept it. nope. yeah he’s been searching this whole time for the bride so he can finally die but like. nope. not today
because you’re definitely Not what he was expecting when he was told of a bride
you know?? he was expecting like some ghostly lady in white to ascend from the heavens and yank out the sword or something but instead it’s this girl in her twenties who really likes twice and monsta x and can’t tell the difference between a normal fork and a salad fork
you’re so full of life and excitement and childlike wonder and he’s just. not like that lol
where you’re springtime, he’s winter’s freeze
where you’re sprinting in crowds, he’s quiet time to himself
and he can never shake the feeling that maybe god was wrong making you his bride? like why would he make jinyoung suffer all of this time just to put something like this on an innocent person?
you were far too warm and carefree to have to deal with taking the life of a powerful immortal. you should have been out, making friends and living life like other people your age
but it wasn’t like you had much of a choice to
from a young age, you had been shunned for your ability to talk to spirits among the dead, and you had never felt like you should lie about it either, which resulted in your isolation from the general public
you had lost your parents at a young age and were subjected to live with your cruel aunt and her brats of children, and your friends were few and far in between. and when they were there, they were usually ghosts
your life had been a constant replay of desperation, emptiness, and loneliness since you’d been born, and the only thing that had given you any hope for life was that you were mean to be part of something greater
you didn’t know the logistics of your role as the goblin’s bride, only that you were the key to what he’d been missing for the last thousand years
and jinyoung wouldn’t really tell you either, much to your annoyance
the most he’d said was that you’d put him at peace?? whatever that meant
you wondered how exactly it would work if you continued to age and he did not, but nevertheless, you decide not to ask about the sword sticking out from between his chest
jinyoung had explained to you that he had such a big house and endless bouts of money thanks to the divinity, so he could travel wherever whenever he needed to and he could afford to live his immortality comfortably
your aunt was more than happy to get you off her hands, and hadn’t cared at all where you ended up, which led to her dumping you on the street when bills started getting harder and harder to pay
but jinyoung had been there when you called (or rather, blew out a flame), and when he had heard of what your aunt had done, he had promptly helped you pack your things before setting off the sprinklers in your house, flooding nearly every “hard-earned” thing your aunt had and forcing her out onto the street for the night while jinyoung took you back to his home
from then on, he had somewhat assumed responsibility over you, being as kind as to transport you to and from work even though you promised you could take the bus instead, or offering that you quit your job altogether since he had money all around
you’d always smile and laugh it off with “i like having my own money, thank you very much”
even though he acts like he doesn’t care if you’re there or not, he’ll find himself lounging around like a lost puppy, waiting for you to come home
or he’ll send you texts throughout the day (you had to actually teach him how to use a phone bc he didn’t feel the need to have one before. i mean, when you can transport anywhere, what’s the point of paying a cell phone bill??) bc he can’t do anything by himself anymore apparently
hubby <3: Can you come home early.
you: why?? what’s wrong? do you need something?
hubby <3: My phone keeps saying I don’t have enough storage and I don’t know how to fix it.
you: delete some of those games off your phone!!! you have way too many lol
hubby <3: Are you insane, woman. 
ghosts tend to avoid you when you’re out with him, which is a nice change bc there’s a few that like to follow you around asking about the goblin when he’s not there
but there is one in particular that goes by the name of jackson
like you’ve met angry ghosts, sad ghosts, and quiet ghosts, but you’d never met a ghost as talkative and happy as jackson
the guy is so happy to talk to someone alive that he barely ever leaves you alone
he’s even had the guts to try and show himself around you when jinyoung is there and jinyoung is always like *glare* but jackson doesn’t really mind, always sticking to your side and asking about your day
and he actually proves to be pretty helpful with like warding off other ghosts that tend to bother you so he’s not all that bad really
jinyoung gets a lil jealous when you talk to jackson more than you talk to him but it’s also??? his fault??? bc when you two are together you do most of the talking anyway?
jackson’s like “how is it that she has more fun talking to a dead person than her immortal husband?” and he gets so embarrassed and red in the face that he has to go drink his calming tea to keep from challenging jackson to a sword fight in the driveway
but jackson isn’t all bad, and jinyoung feels a little better when you go out for long periods of time knowing jackson will most likely be stuck by your side and would let jinyoung know if something bad happened to you
because what comes with being a goblin’s bride is power over the goblin
any ghost could use you as bait to trick the goblin into doing something for them, which could ultimately alter so many other lives in the process and it’s super dangerous
but god help anyone who dared lay a hand on you
like he’d smite them and be like “you tried it lmao”
and you’d think it’d be awkward living in such a big house with jinyoung all by yourselves but in fact, it’s actually pretty fun
you’ll just be admiring yourself in a mirror and he’ll be like “that’s from the joseon dynasty”
or you’ll be making tea and he’ll be like “that teapot was a gift from the queen of england”
“i teleported that dresser out of a scottish castle when i went on a sight-seeing trip once”
“everyone thinks the mona lisa getting stolen was bc of that italian dude, but really i paid him to give it to me for my villa at the time” “then why did you give it back to him?” “didn’t match the interior design”
you actually have no real proof that any of the things he says are true or not but it’s pretty entertaining to hear nonetheless
and he won’t admit it to your face but he secretly adores the way your eyes light up with wonder at his stories of the lives he’s lived
and he admires the cute way your smile gets too big and your nose wrinkles when you laugh at something particularly silly that he says
when he loosens up, it’s so easy to talk to him that it really does feel like you were meant to be together after all
with the time you two spend together, there comes a love that starts budding at the surfaces of your hearts, even though one of you is a lil more reluctant to admit than the other *cough* jinyoung *cough*
but with that comes curiosity
“do you believe in reincarnation?” you ask him one day, sprawled out on his living room couch
even though your feet are up on the arm rest like he’s told you hundreds of times not to do, he doesn’t mention it this time, too immersed in his book to care. up until you asked that question at least
“why do you ask?” he hums, glancing at you over the pages of his book
“…i don’t know, you’ve lived for hundreds of years. have you ever seen the same soul in a different person before?”
the question has him shocked into silence, his mind fighting for an acceptable answer
all he can really do is look at you, with your curious eyes and your pout
your question is so innocent that he can’t possibly hold it against you if it triggers something in him
but for a moment, just a moment short enough that he might’ve missed it, he sees those same curious eyes adorned by painted lips in a laughing smile, roses and lilies decorating the scenery behind you, a familiar sage colored hair clip nestled in your high bun
he sees those curious eyes crinkle at the edges because your laughter is far too strong to only take up part of your expression
he sees himself in this moment too, peeking from underneath a gat at you with childishly shy glances, the smile on his own face growing the longer you two laugh together
his blue wardrobe brushes the grass and your fingertips as the both of you sit in the royal gardens, under a large cherry blossom tree whose petals float down and caress your skin in soft brushes
when he comes back to himself, you’re still sitting there, your expression turning worrisome at his silence
he looks at you, like really looks at you, like he did the queen he fell for all those centuries ago
he realizes then why you had felt so familiar, and he realizes why the divinity had placed you there to take his life, and not anyone else
because no one had the queen’s soul, except you
little did jinyoung know, all those years ago when his life had been taken with the same sword that struck you, your lives had been intertwined by blood, with him living as an immortal and your soul passing from one to the next, always in search of him
it was only fitting that the one he loved be the one who took his misery away once and for all
he doesn’t realize that tears are free falling and he’s sobbing silently until he feels your warm touch on his face, your fingers brushing underneath the skin of his eyes in an attempt to stop them, but to no avail
he cries into your palms like his heart has been ripped open after years of careful stitching had proved useless, his head falling into your shoulder with a heart shattering cry
even when he calls the name of a woman you don’t know, you can’t help feeling like he’s calling you
you just hold him while he cries, his sadness tugging at your heart strings all the more until you feel yourself crying for him
“you’ve seen the sword all along, haven’t you?” he whispers into your neck as you nod slowly
he pushes you back by the shoulders, touch gentle as he squeezes
you see the hilt of the sword in his chest, glowing under a light blue flame, and when you look to jinyoung, he’s already focused on the sword too
“…you have the soul of my first love, the soul of the woman i died for in my first life. i can see it in your eyes. you’ve had many lives but that one is the most relevant.”
you watch as he carefully scoops up your hands, and suddenly you’re crying for different reasons, your hands falling around the hilt as he guides them to hold it, “i’ve made many preparations for this day. the house, the protection, everything will be yours once i go. your aunt won’t be able to get to you, and you’ll be able to live comfortably for the rest of your life, however you want to live it”
he’s smiling through the tears, albeit tentatively, “you can pull out the sword now. i’ll die, be at peace, and you can finally live the life you always wanted, not tied to some jerk goblin you met in bunny slippers”
despite yourself, you laugh through the tears, your hands closing and opening around the hilt with a shaky breath, “must you go? we still have so many things to do as a couple, you know”
he manages a smile, one of his hands coming to your face with a melancholic look in his eyes, “you’ll find someone who doesn’t force you to listen to tales about him meeting Shakespeare as date talk… he won’t be as handsome as me of course, but…”
his attempts to make you laugh are becoming futile though, as your smile starts to fade and you beg whoever might be listening to change their mind, to give you two another chance “are you sure you’re going to die? maybe the divinity meant something else, maybe being at peace had a different meaning-”
but it’s the look in jinyoung’s eyes that convinces you that being selfish and holding him there longer than he should have ever been is not your choice
your heart is beating erratically and you feel like maybe jinyoung can hear it too, he’s so close to you
it only takes the quietest whisper of “it’s okay” from him, the slight raise of his sweaty brows as he prepares himself to say goodbye
you curse every cell of the divinity when jinyoung clasps your hands down on the sword and commands you to pull, and with all your pain and anger and loneliness rising to the surface, you pull it out in one clean sweep, his agonizing yell falling short the moment the sword leaves his body and vanishes into ashes in your palms
you stand, hands suspended in air and eyes shut tight as you wait for it
you imagine his body falling to the floor with a thud, or maybe him falling to ash like his sword had done
tears are still falling from your eyes as you wait with agonizing sadness, unable to look upon the man you had grown to love being nothing more
you wait, and you wait, and you wait
you’re almost certain that he’s just vanished without a trace like the wind, until warm fingers brush your leg and you gasp, looking back 
instead of a corpse or black dust you see jinyoung, traces of blue flames brushing his skin before they evaporate altogether
“j-jinyoung-” “i’m at peace” he interrupts, a slightly disbelieving smile on his face
“what do you mean? are you dead? are you a ghost that i’m seeing?” you ask, thinking that maybe the divinity wasn’t done playing cruel games on you two just yet
but then his fingers slide into the spaces between yours, and he still feels warm
“no, i’m at peace. human, alive, mortal. being at peace didn’t mean i would die… it meant that… i’d be at peace with my bride… to live the rest of my mortal days with her.”
his hand locking with yours shocks you into your own reverie, and when your eyes meet his again, you see his tight top knot, his smirk over a teacup, his head bowed with a knowing smile as you pass him by in palace halls
every memory comes back like a tidal wave that knocks you to your knees before his seated form, and his hands fly to your shoulders in concern, just before you smile and kiss him
his favorite smile, where your eyes crinkle so… familiarly
“only took us about a thousand years” you whisper
