hi! i'm nyeo (18+ / sh/th) and i'm very, very happy to be introducing you all to the semi-honorable, idol-actress-personality in-the-making: hong misha. she's outspoken, bratty, and ever-so-slightly catty, but above all, she's a businesswoman who knows how to play to her strengths and (usually) get exactly what she wants. small, but mighty, etc. etc. she's a bit of an enigma, but an interesting case study in self-sabotage, for sure. in lieu of writing a super long intro, i'm gonna link her expanded character outline here and save you the super long read with her gen outline under the cut. :3 uhhh, other than that, d-scord is available upon request and if you'd like to plot, give me a like so i can come to you! i look forward to writing with everyone!!! 💖💘💝

hong misha (紅米沙, 홍미샤) was born august 13, 2001 in nanping, china. her blood type is O+, her MBTI is ENTJ and she thinks that both of those things don’t really mean anything. she’s bisexual and single. her favorite color is light yellow or dusty rose, her favorite kind of candy is gummies, and she listens to all kinds of music, but has a particular affinity toward pop and rnb. her primary goal is to become an idol-actress, but she’s open to various avenues. her primary strengths lie in acting and vocals, but she shows great promise in variety and songwriting, too. she plays the guzheng and speaks chinese, korean, and japanese with varying degrees of fluency, but only slightly conversational english. her style is cute, feminine and eclectic, and she considers herself a maximalist. her concept is versatile, but she excels at cute, quirky, and story-driven concepts. when she's not training, she works as a freelance nail artist and a waitress.

positives quick-witted, methodical, independent, adorable, self-confident, loyal, ambitious neutrals coquettish, artful, savvy, fanatical, opinionated, superstitious negatives short-tempered, repressed, spiteful, skeptical, impenitent, competitive, melodramatic

debrief

while outsiders will describe her as deceptively innocent, incredibly cute and endearingly poised, those close to her might tell the tale of someone that you never fully know. she’s yet to truly master the art of emotional intimacy and truly growing closer to her tends to involve a lot of push and pull. she’s not really interested in people that aren’t interested in her and all of her oddities. no flower blooms without a struggle, no?

creatively minded, she enjoys music a lot more as an idol-will-be than she ever did as a child who grew up around the sordid, punkish types who played in smoky bars (and forgot to pick her up from her lessons,) and more and more is honing her skill set to make herself feel more deserving of the praise she gets as both a personality and a vocal. she’s vibrant in her element and has gained a reputation for being a hardworker, maintaining the “fighting!” spirit and zeal of a fresher faced trainee well into her growing seniority. she’s clear and playful, well-mannered and well-spoken, and a (mostly, sometimes, if the sky is clear and she slept eight hours the night before) good sport when it comes to the innate competition that comes as a side effect to being a trainee among many others.

home life

she was raised primarily by her grandparents, but started living with her aunt in seoul in 2015, after her mother remarried following a short trial period of misha living with her again full-time in an attempt to repair their historically tumultuous relationship. nobody wants to say the quiet part out loud, but it was clearly a fresh start for her mother, who’d gotten married and had her very young. she visits when time allows, but now that her mom is pregnant again, she can only imagine how often that’ll be. anyway, moving to seoul was a new beginning and, as it stands, her only connection back home to nanping is her grandparents and her ever-therapized dad. she was formally adopted by her aunt in 2018.

fun facts

she has a habit of intergrating chinese or english phrases or exclamations into her daily speech (ex. saying something is cute or delicious in either eng or chn, saying “oh my god,”/“wow” etc.)

she was born a month early and her grandparents affectionately call her “speedracer” because they could tell early on that her eagerness to get here would be indicative of her desire to succeed.

her grandparents own a bakery and her aunt, who she lived with up until her signing with legacy entertainment, makes specialty marshmallows in a cafe. misha sometimes goes in to help when time allows, but has more or less accepted that it’s not really her calling.

misha enjoys collecting stuffed animals but has recently had to donate more than half of the ones she brought with her to the dorms because they were taking up a ridiculous amount of space. that combined with her shopping habit was practically a recipe for disaster. she still buys them, obviously, but she’s restricting herself to small, soft, cute ones that she could stuff in a suitcase, if necessary.

die-hard 2nd gen kpop fan

she was a reptile kid growing up, so she has a lot of useless knowledge about lizards and snakes stored in her pretty little head.

more than likely dresses like a combination of harper finkle and london tipton and one of those maximalist fashion girlies on tiktok

“she’s incredibly sexy, but she has to do something goofy every five seconds or she’ll die.”

#lgc:intro #she has like. no resources so i will be in the lab Giffing 👩‍🔬#<-- excuse to watch sweet trap #u can find quite literally everything here on her about page /misha/gen bc i dont think it gets much more introductory than that #saved u an extra click tho youre welcome :heart:

Castaway Diva - Wrap Up Review

I'm not quite sure what it was, but something about Castaway Diva felt like something of a throw back to the K-drama golden age of the early 2010s. Perhaps it was the plot(s - there were a lot of them), perhaps it was the characters (who were both deeply traumatised and wonderfully carefree), perhaps it was the way it was a simply just very fun watch (as long as you didn't think about it too hard, once you started asking questions things got a little holey).

Overall I did have a good time watching this; I liked the characters, I enjoyed their different dynamics, I even liked some of the songs, which is not normally the case for me with musical dramas but Dream Us is now on a playlist and I've looked up a few of the other songs too. The story itself was a relatively fun ride too, although it did suffer from being, for lack of a better phrase, very over stuffed. Domestic abuse, identity theft, the politics of the Korean entertainment industry, a social re-intergration plotline, a love triangle, and more all jostled for screen time and dominance and there were definitely times when it felt like were two completely different dramas going on at once, ones which just happened to be sharing sets and a cast. That feeling only grew as the drama progressed, unfortunately, along with the suspicion that, because Castaway Diva couldn't decide on what it wanted to be, both major plotlines suffered as a result.

One thing I did really enjoy the whole way through was the cast. Park Eun Bin was as stunning as always (although for the first 2 episodes it did sometimes feel like she was trying to shake off the last vestiges of Extraordinary Attorney Woo); it was great to see Chae Jong Hyeop in a lead role again; and Hakyeon impressed a lot as the second male lead with an actual heart of gold. I also really enjoyed Kim Hyo Jin as Kim Ran Joo, it was my first time seeing her in any role and she definitely left a very positive impression, so positive that I'm planning to keep an eye on what she does next.

Equally impressive as the adults were Lee Re as young Mok Ha and Moon Woo Jin as young Ki Ho, both of whom put on such compelling performances that I almost wished we could have had a drama solely dedicated to their lives on the island. Their performances and plotline were some of the highlights of the entire show for me and perhaps therein lies the main problem: the first episode was so impactful but so different from everything that came after it that my mind kept drifting back to those first 60 minutes and wanting more, wanting it so much that the fact that there wasn't more felt like a genuine loss, the loss of a very different, much darker, much more serious drama-that-could-have-been.

TLDR Stats

🎧 Music: 7.5/10 - Dream Us is on repeat and the other songs weren't skipped.

🎭 Acting: 8.5/10 - They carried the many plots and they carried them well.

📑 Story: 7.0/10 - The writers should have picked one story to focus on instead of trying to shoehorn two very different it's into one drama. The bits we got of each drama were pretty good and would only have got better if the focus was solely on them.

👩‍⚖️ Overall: 7.5/10 - I enjoyed it while I was watching it but I doubt I'll be watching it again.

🙆‍♀️ Rec for: People who are looking for a relatively light, uncomplicated watch with highly enjoyable chemistry between characters although be warned the first episode is anything but light.

🙅‍♀️ Wreck for: People who like to ask the question "why?" when watching dramas.

I went to twitter to see other news and instead I saw people said Thomas blocked Korean miraculers who protest about the use of JP imperial flag in ephemeral episode which is offend them greatly. Is it true???

Okay, I’ve checked and this appear to be the case.

During LB's explaination about the BIPM, as she explains the satellite coordinate clocks around the world, the icon next to the igloo does look like a simplify version of the rising sun flag.

But before you light your torches and bring your fork, as a westerner, I personally didn't realize this icon would be considered offensive before you point it out, Anon. I know JP imperialism is bad and that some popular japanese cultural products still promote Japan military to this day (just like Hollywood often promotes the american army and depict them under a good light), but I didn't registered the rising sun flag was a direct symbol to that because of how overly common it is in Japan iconography for about anything and has many derivative of it. Because Japan is nicknamed “The Land of the Rising Sun”. And thats even in western countries (see the Japan Expo convention logo : a red and yellow rising sun above a water body).

I really doubt it was intentional from the ML team nor Zagtoon, an european company, to put Japan imperialism propaganda and trigger a war trauma. What it looks like is they wanted an simple icon to illustrate a different part of the world that would be recognizable.

And if no one in the 2D division nor anyone supervising the product quality knew about that flag was offensive in some countries and -- no pun intended -- raised a flag about it, then that's how it ended in the broadcasted product. Yep, even if they had worked hand in hand with SAMG before.

So, if Korean and other SE Asian fans point out this is a problematic imagery to use due to the war trauma it has caused, then it is a mistake that should be fixed. While the image is very controversial, it isn’t illegal either unfortunately.

It would be a first step if at least they recognize the controversy behind the image they have used, recognize it was a mistake and at least apologize for it.

However, even if the icon can be easily change, I also know that just because a fix look simple doesn’t mean it will be quick. Ultimately, it is to the higher ups in the series (such as the producer) who decide if it is worth asking 3-4 ressources to patch, intergrate and supervise the correction of a 3 second bit of a 22 minute episode. I don’t work in animation, but even in my line of work, a small modif like that could take a week. Because of approbation, because of research and communication to know if the new icon use to replace the old one isn’t problematic elsewhere as well.

And once that new version deliver to broadcasters, they will use it... if they see fit.

That’s why I wouldn’t be surprised if only asian broadcasters will be the ones to demand an edit of the shot or patched the bit themselves before they officially broadcast the episode on their TV channel for their audience.

Is Thomas the right person to go to about this matter though? I don't think so. Sure, Thomas is the creator and the main public face of the series on social media. So, it feels easy to just reach him. Him and Winny sure are more reachable than Jeremy Zag himself. And contacting someone directly and publicly on the social media is definitively way easier than sending an email to a company or a broadcaster or fill an official customer service complaint form.

Perhaps Thomas can bring the matter to the person in charge, but remember he isn't a social media relationist. He interacts with fans on social media and answers questions related to the episodes and the series lore on his free time on his own accord. Just like Winny or any crew member.

So if Thomas feels he is being spammed and that people are rude to him and accuse him, he is not afraid to block them. Sometimes in an arbitrary way. And I dunno if he automically read / answer to everyone either. Even if he doesn’t care if it make him look like a jerk because it is his right to not owe anything to the people interacting online with him.

I understand why a Korean or any South-East Asian fan would be offended to see an icon similar to a rising sun flag in their favorite show and want to raise awareness to this and how they felt, especially to other fans and the show creator or any other crew member or ambassadors.

And I am genuinely sorry you are met with radio-silence and blocking right now. And I can understand your disappointment and anger.

If you want to be heard, don’t forget to also write emails, even letters. To Zagtoon, to the ML production office in France or to the official broadcaster in your country. It’s not instantaneous, it’s not flashy, but at least it’s another way to reach the right people to hopefully get the mistake acknowledge and fix.

For the prompt, may be it's because asians uphold/are familiar with/are knowledgeable/are accepting, more or less, of the values/attitudes/actions of Do (previously or presently) as another asian? As an asian myself, I think of it as a, I don't have better words, "culture shock" (for some western fans I have seen on twt) because Do is very Korean-- like how I, as an asian, would react to a person who acts very western aka unfamiliar. While, of course, individuals, regardless of where they are, can be accepting of a person who is "different to what I know" or the otherwise, as part of their intergral character, their perception of people can still be shaped by their society.

Additionally, because Do is more fluent in Korean among all the languages he might know, his humor, wit and come backs aren't well translated to non-Korean speakers. Even if it is, fans won't usually give the time to wait for it, look for an interpretation or bother with it because kpop content is still a form of entertainment for some. Entertainment in terms of "something to laugh at."

Also, as we all know, in general, some fans, some solo stans most especially have fragile egos (I'm sorry for the term lsjsls) and the continuous praises showered upon our ever, hard working bunny, on top of the amount of projects he does compared to others, are taken as Do stealing opportunities and leaving nothing to their biases. Most outspoken once are usually the "shallow" fans.

Tell you what, I like how Korean Doyoung is. He is a very Korean person without Korean-specific flaws (xenophobia, hate for Japanese/Chinese, envy, inability to think for oneself because of the type of drilling in education, etc). He provides me an insight on Korean culture/habits/language, but doesn't irritate, heh.

This "difference in perception" is Doyoung flaunting his smarts for one. In Korea everyone knows the test scores of each other, who is the number one student (so is in Japan, Thailand, and probably other Asian countries?), the info is put in the halls afterall. To be the top student is to be the chosen, the cool and desireable one. Doyoung took a history test to show "a new better side of me", and his Korean fans decided to take this test after him.

Ariana Grande's "7 rings" is in the minor key. It's a sad song, about a bird trapped in a cage, all the money she has doesn't bring happiness, Ariana just fronts and pretends she is. Looking at the comments, it flies over most fans' heads. They see riches.

Hm, I get what you mean by Doyoung "the brown nose stealing opportunities". Asians believe in hard work, Koreans pride themselves for never sleeping and waking up at 5 a.m., surviving or energy drinks (not healthy, not healthy at all this rat race). While Western fans think all members should get equal everything from the company. Equality for all. And if one isn't getting something, someone else is stealing it (immigrants - jobs, the boot licker - promotion, city politicians - the right to park anywhere without paying).

I want readers to watch a short segment from this vlogger on the parasocial relationship. Starts at 26:04

okay okay before i get into what i have to say let's make it clear that rankings through out kingdom meant nothing to me so i might sound more passionate than i actually am about this topic. but from what i have been seeing there might be a reason as to why tbz came second and that is because of their korean fanbase. which i think might have been the one advantage they had from participating on road to kingdom, since the korean market eats up this kind of entertainment and investing time/voting for someone they became fond of to reach their goals. example, the produce series and the absolute hit that every group that came out of it was (even x1, literally breaking records in the split second they had together). once the whole voting scandal was outed, i saw this on street interview that showed how dissapointed the viwers were that all the time and energy they used to make their favorite trainees debut was pointless and useless. and im talking people, every age but also a lot of students, who sit together with their families to follow and root for their favorite contestants.

now, if you bring this into the whole "narrative" of tbz """fighting""" through rtk and now agaisnt """bigger""" groups, it's not that surprising to think that those fans who adopted them back in the begining of last year (which, let's say its around half of the fanbase) would also try their hardest to get them to win, because it was the goal for them since the begining of rtk. i was over on twitter a few days before the finale, and their korean fans were streaming and strategizing every way possible to make them a bit closer the trophy, i even laughed because most international fans were saying how the korean part of the fandom was carrying the entire thing.

but if you think that the other groups also have insanely strong national fanbases, which puts me in an odd spot as to if the "longest competitors" theory make sense, so i might have spoken a bunch of crap right now.

also, again, i think none of this matters because what exactly did skz win? literally, i cannot tell you who won queendom because my pea sized brain couldn't retain that information for more than three months. and the only reason we might still remember that skz won kingdom is because their fans might not let us forget about it, so what can you really do? i just hope that this could somehow affect the grandness of awardshow stages or special stages, you know. like getting to watch kingdom-like, well prepared stages at ever end of the year awards would be a pleasure. mnet, give btob that last performer spot and you might catch me sitting through the entire mama only to watch them do their magic

i mean, i get it because my family watched sytycd for YEARS together and i watched all 20+ hours of sdc3 while it was airing but like.....you can't vote in for american televisions shows from canada and we just don't have the same type of voting/sunk cost fallacy culture?? i mean it might just be my particular family but we very much had the attitude of like "ah it is time for us to watch these tiny people do their tiny dances in the magic box for our entertainment, but as soon as this hour is over we go back to our normal lives and don't think about it all."

yea, there isn't actually a tangible outcome of show for the winners, other than bragging rights. they say that the prize is a reality show but like....do single group-based reality shows really catch a larger audience, or are they just feeding content back to the diehard fans. and the way that the youtube algorithm works, any one of these groups could self produce something regardless of who won and it has just as much chance of getting bumped. half the comeback teasers and mvs that i see are spit up through my recommended videos anyways. but i do agree in that i hope what actually gets taken from the show is new methods in theatricality to change up the way stages are produced, especially at the end of year shows and special stages. i do think we're maybe starting to see some of it? i mean hoshi's special stage for spider was phenomenal and that was before this mostly started, but have you seen the mx stages for gambler?? i think that's gonna be the first comeback that i cover after i finish kingdom posts, because those stages (especially the inkigayo one) are excellent. if awards shows start encorporating more intergration of intentional camerawork and narrative driven choreo into their stages, their viewer retention rate would be SO much higher. like you said, we'll all be sitting our asses through everything to see eunkwang sing like his life depends on it.

#kingdom #this makes my family sound kind of insane but we truly just....dont get invested in stuff like this #we're all very logical and process driven and care about the integrity of the art and skill #but also logically these shows are not real anyways so why bother playing into a manipulative narrative when you could just not??#this makes me sound like an unfeeling robot jesus #the short answer is my brain is fucked up from only watching very elabourate circuses #and a man making very large drawings out of salt and household objects #until i was like 13 #so i am physically incapable of caring about the meatspace outcome of a reality tv program lmao #it's mindless entertainment!!#i know theres been some awards show performance that have kind of made weak narrative or spectacular threads #i remember several at mama 2020 being a lot more grand than i thought they would be #but hopefully now that we've seen what makes good shapes in these types of stages theyll catch on more #fingers fucking crossed #i just want kpop cameramen to figure out how to properly film shit for once #kpop questions #answers #text.#kingdom asks

CHARACTER NOTES

Being born only a century before the japanese occupation of korea, in an isolated forest guarded with protections, chaerin remained sheltered from the outside world. as western influences took away the importance of traditional beliefs and practices, the kumiho’s source of wisdom and benevolence became a myth.

As kumiho’s villages started to become revealed by hunters who’ve done extent knowledge on supernatural creatures throughout East Asia, many kumiho retaliated when their village in the forests were rounded up.

Because they didn’t submit to the Japanese forces and killed / wounded soldiers, the army created the violent image of the korean kumiho to support the demonization of korean traditional religions / folklore, the west encouraged. they claimed the negative message was as a means of ‘protecting’ the korean people from vile creatures. in the mean time, many scientists that crossed the line between magic and science hunted creatures for their rare remains / experimented on those captured alive

A wealthy japanese nobleman’s men capture Chaerin who’s been left behind due to an injury during the raid of her home. she was found after have been hiding and starving for days in a weakened state, pinned under the remains of her once peaceful and prosperous village that encouraged the spread of education. The nobleman’s mystified idealist romanticism over the occupation of Korea lead him to force Chaerin to be his mistress and bring her back to Japan as a source of good fortune to his family.

Fox spirits being a positive symbol in Japanese culture, he believed she would be a good asset for his benefit. Not only can she bring good fortune to his family, but he’s being the savior of the poor joseon woman who lost everything ( by his hands ).

After six months of being in Japan, chaerin succeeded in being a nearly mute obedient mistress to the nobleman. He hadn’t forced himself on her, instead revealed to her that one day she’d willingly come to him once he’s taught her the etiquette of his homeland. one night, when most of the family were asleep— under the guise of seducing him, chaerin muffled his screams with a pillow while ripping his heart out of his chest. in that moment, releasing the monster he so proudly claimed to have tamed. The monster that she never was but would be in his demise.

Running away while an investigation takes place, Chaerin wanders into a zainichi korean slum and found refugee with a korean family who lead the underground following of korean traditional religion ( which would be the past generations of hauen’s family ). Not accepting the corrupted narrative of the man eating kumiho which was a source of evil, they protected the young girl as one of their own.

They keep chaerin hidden in a fake wall of a broom closet whenever suspicions arose, allowing her to stay. when the men of the household questioned her ability to stay, she would provide wisdom and advice for the family’s future for generations till the end of the Korean War. By then, she and haeun’s grandmother migrated back to South Korea where they eventually meet chun who hires them to study supernatural remedies as that’s one of the cha family’s specialties. he encourages their research in hope to help dahyun who’s still asleep in the southern sea.

While slowly intergrating back into her home country and learning to engage in the growing world, chaerin was able to find a passion in creating and art. with time she began working with cosmetics as a free expression and with some help from chun, created her own cosmetic brand: yeuwoo cosmetics. overtime of her own creations, chaerin acknowledged she was much more than her trauma, more than the isolation she suffered. she was never the monster, the scapegoat that they wanted. she would create what her existence means, what will come out of it.

yoonseok bit #2

Hey guys! Another bit for you! This one is completely unrelated to the first one. Summary: It took Hoseok five minutes alone in his room for him to know it wasn't gonna happen. He wasn't sleeping alone. Not today.

Read it also on AO3

Enjoy!

00:12am

Hoseok hovers on the hotel corridor, pacing out of nervousness and so the lights won't go out. In his back and forth he passes the members' doors. Stops. Looks. Sighs. Resumes pacing.

He shouldnt have let his date talk him into watching that scary movie. Why had he broken the promise he'd made to himself over 10 years ago when his noona made him watch 'The Ring' and he'd peed his pants during the night? No scary movies ever again.

Why did he betray himself like this? Sure, Ji Sung was incredibly attracrive and Hobi was super excited when the boy he'd been eyeing since last award season showed interest in him, especially considering it's really hard to find other gay men who are actually willing to act upon their sexualities in the Korean idol world.

But this was no excuse! He was supposed to have learned how to use the word "no" by now right?

I spent all that time teaching you when we were rookies and because of one pretty boy you forget everything you've learned? Yoongi hyung's voice says in his mind.

The light suddenly goes out in the corridor and Hoseok jumps, letting out a small noise. A mixture of fear and guilt spread through the back of his neck and he can feel the hairs in his arms standing up one by one. He moves quickly to remind the light he's still there.

I'm so stupid. Damn. If he was back in the dorm, it would be alright. He wouldn't even have to ask for company to distract from memories of bloody faces and lost limbs and all those jump scares. Back in the dorm, besides having the company of his lively dongsaengs, Jimin and Taehyungie, Jungkook would end up climbing in his bed at some point before he fell asleep anyway.

Things are different when they're on tour. On tour is when they get precious time off from the constant company of each other. And it's good. Necessary, even. He doesn't mind it at all. Except for now. Now he's regretting all of his life choices.

It took Hoseok five minutes alone in his room for him to know it wasn't gonna happen. He wasn't sleeping alone. Not today.

Except, it'd been probably about twenty minutes since he gathered up the courage to leave his room to go knock on somebody's door. He just hadn't had the guts to actually knock yet. It's not that he was ashamed of being scared. It's just that he knew there'd be questions. And he was just as afraid of the questions as he was of the dead lady in the movie.

He wasn't in the mood for explaining where he'd been and who he'd been with. Sejin-hyung had come along, discreetly, so that there wouldn't be any talk in the media. So that it'd be like just an outing with a friend who happened to be in the same country during their schedules. It was kind of the truth. He also knew that the members didn't mind. In fact, he could talk openly about boys and being gay with them - it wasn't a big deal. It wasn't the problem at all.

The problem was that today Hoseok felt silly. He hated feeling silly. Unless it was for fun, in front of ARMYs and on purpose, because he decided to act like it. Not when a situation made him feel like it was beyond his control. He felt kind of humiliated. He'd always thought of himself as strongminded person. Ever since he'd debuted he knew exactly who he was and who he wanted to be.

He'd just compromised his intergrity for a boy. And now he couldn't sleep. He couldn't face anyone.

So he was stuck. Stuck in a long corridor that was terrifying in and of itself and he couldn't go back to his room where a much more terrifying thing awaited. Silence.

Get your shit together, Seok-ah. His inner Yoongi-hyung voice said. Yoongi-hyung. Why was his voice inside Hoseok's mind like the voice of reason? And why hadn't that voice spoken up when he needed it to?

Actually, he knows why. Suga was being extra prickly during a group interview they had earlier. But only towards him. Hoseok got mad. Yoongi-hyung almost never acted prickly towards him. To everybody else, yes. Hoseok was special. Or he thought he was. He seeked him out to confront him about it after their schedule, but hyung had ridden a different van from his and when they got to the hotel he was nowhere to be seen.

So Hoseok decided to forget about him. And shut his voice out. He had a date with a cute guy! Yoongi-hyung shouldn't matter at a time like that! So he put on his tightest pants and his best perfume and happily set out to the theater and, unknowingly, to one of the worst nights of his life.

Now, though, the boy thinks Yoongi-hyung was probably mad at him in advance. Like he'd somehow predicted Hoseok was going to be an idiot.

The light goes out again. This time Hoseok screams. Right after he moves to get the light, however, a door opens. He screams again.

"What the hell are you doing?"

Yoongi-hyung. Great. The last person he wanted to encounter.

"Are you crying?"

Damn. Was he? Probably. He was paralyzed from fear.

Blink.

"Seok-ah. Did that guy do anything to you?"

What?

"What are you talking about, hyung?" Hoseok hiccups.

"Didn't you have a date tonight? Why are you crying?"

Blink.

Blink again.

"Hyung!" Hoseok bursts out in loud sobs.

Yoongi looks alarmed for one second, then steps out into the corridor and proceeds to thoughtfully steer Hoseok into his room so the other members don't wake up and a pandemonium starts. He shuts the door, goes to the minifridge, grabs a bottle of water, pours it into a glass, gives it to Hoseok and says with a serious and low voice:

"What did he do to you?"

The tone of Yoongi's voice takes Hoseok out of his crying attack and he starts babbling.

"Oh my god, hyung. No. He didn't do anything bad to me. He just insisted we see a horror movie. And I told him I didn't like it, but he asked me like two more times. And I don't know why I couldn't say no. Then all of a sudden I was sitting in that dark room watching a bloody ghost lady go around scaring people and I came back and Sejin-hyung left me at my room but I couldn't stay there because I was so afraid and I wanted to sleep in somebody else's room, but I was too embarrassed because I couldn't say no to him and I know that you're going to say I'm stupid and give me a lecture, I'll accept and I'll agree, but can you please let me sleep here tonight?"

Blink.

Yoongi walks into the bathroom and comes back with a toilet paper roll in his hand. Goes to his suitcase and grabs his long black shirt from Heich Bleide that Hoseok likes and then hands both items to the younger boy.

"Dry your tears, wash up and then come to bed"

Hoseok's heart feels a little bit warmer. He does what Yoongi tells him, although he has to wash with the door open because what if a water ghost comes to kill him? After he's done, he treads softly back to the room to find Yoongi resting on top of the covers with his eyes closed. He looks soft and cuddly. Hoseok gets the impulse to dive into bed and press his nose into his hyung's neckline.

Huh.

"Aren't you coming?" Hoseok jumps. Yoongi keeps his eyes closed.

"Hyung! Don't scare me!"

Yoongi chooses to ignore him and lifts the bedsheets to get under them. He folds the comforter on the side next to him and taps the bed, motioning for Hoseok to climb on.

"Get the lights"

The younger shuts off the lights, momentarily forgetting about his fear and yelps when he becomes aware of the darkness. He rushes to get in bed, but miscalculates the shape of it and falls half on top of Yoongi.

"Oof"

"Omo! Sorry, hyung!"

Hoseok rushes to get off, but Yoongi's arms tighten around him to keep him in place. He adjusts their limbs into a comfortable position and Hoseok can't see anything, but he thinks his nose might be close to his hyung's neck. He can smell soap and the detergent they use back at the dorm. The thought of being so close makes him blush.

"Hyung"

"Hmm?" Yoongi murmurs sleepily.

"How did you know I was on a date?"

His hyung stays silent for so long Hoseok thinks he might've fallen asleep. Then:

"I overead one of your texts earlier when we were doing makeup. By accident. Sorry"

"Oh. That's ok, I guess"

"Sorry" Soft breathing. "Hyung. Why were you mad at me today?"

A beat of silence longer than the last overcomes them and Hoseok's sure Yoongi's asleep now. But

"Seok-ah. Next time you want to go see a movie, hyung'll take you. We'll watch a very stupid romantic comedy"

Hoseok's heart skips a beat. He's sure that it's because Yoongi spoke out of nowhere when he was supposed to already be asleep. It starts beating faster when his hyung surprises him by softly caressing the back of his head and his hair.

"Alright?"

Hoseok's heart is beating madly now. He relaxes under Yoongi's touch and his nose touches the elder's skin. His neck is warm and the scent calms him. He feels like nothing could ever scare him right here and now. He sighs softly.

"Alright, hyung"
