“Baby, come on, don’t be mad”.

Rolling her eyes at him, y/n turned away from Jimin leaving him to his own devices.

At this point, he was surely talking to the potted plant by her side, as she ignored every single sentence that dripped from his tongue.

There were these things, things that y/n called deal breakers; and one of the biggest deal breakers to her in a relationship is lying.

It is not like her and Jimin hadn’t spoken about this at the beginning of their relationship.

This conversation occurred; all expectations were laid on the table and all things were made transparent.

Yet, here we stand.

---

Taking advantage of her now crouched position near the aforementioned plant on the floor, the young dragon made use of his scaly tale to take a hold of y/n’s waist and slowly pull her to a standing position, attempting to gain more closeness to her; however in response to his swift action, Jimin was striked in the head by the branches of a nearby tree.

“Stop".

“Bubs, I promise…I just went out with the boys for a couple of drinks; there weren’t even any mermaids there. Only centaurs ….and maybe werewolves ….and a couple of dragons".

“See, the more creatures you add to your list of attendees, the less I believe in you.”

Attempting to walk away once more, y/n changed her course, hoping the new direction would allow her to have some space away from that -lizard- she called a boyfriend; bountiful flowery hair slapping him in the process of her departure.

---

Some would say he deserved her apathy and others would say she should have seen it coming.

Jimin was in fact, very popular and was known around Illitopia for being the maker of all parties.

Day in and day out, his life consisted of chilling with his friends, hosting parties and hitting on anyone he laid his eyes on.

Y/n knew this, she didn’t mind that, nevertheless, the lie is what she didn’t like, to her, honesty is always the best policy.

If only he would have told her where he was going instead of lying to her, then being caught by the queen of the woods would have been the least of his problems.

---

Being a dragon usually brought somewhat of a reputation tied to it.

One of the stances held over Jimin’s head like a golden trophy, was the rolling ball of him being a player;. Much to a lot of mythical creature’s dismay, this dragon was not far away from that statement.

That and other cliché things that were believed by both humans and mythicals to be speculations, were actual half-truths that dragons won’t deny or admit to.

♤♤ Flashback ♤♤

Jimin remembers when he first saw her.

Her golden skin seemed to have a shine and radiance of its own, it could easily be compared to the rays of the sun. Her features were framed by a curly bush of hair that within itself, contained various flowers and vines that cascaded all the way to her shoulders.

And let’s not talk about her laughter. It was so pure it sounded like a hidden waterfall that had been untampered by the filth of the world.

From her ears, a pair of intricate earrings hung with what seemed to be butterflies created from who-knows-what precious stone.

She was perfect or maybe more than that. He’s never seen anything, or anyone beam so bright like she did; and like the greedy being he was, he had to have her.

---

“Compared to other nymphs, your looks seem to be…superior." he said raking his eyes over her.

“You wish I was a simple nymph. I am queen of the woods, don’t forget that, lizard” she replied eyeing him with disgust.

“Feisty, I like it"

“Sadly, for you, I don’t like dragons, so you may take your leave now”

“Aww, why not?” his sharp white teeth briefly flashing her after he feigned being hurt.

“We can start with the fact that your kind are the epitome of everything that I do not like; players, manipulators, liars and greed, not my favorite mix.”

---

The way her body exuded confidence and disinterest in him made him yearn for her even more, why? he could have anyone, but none of them were like her.

He knew it sounded immature. Like a child wanting what he can’t have, but was that so wrong?

---

“I don’t lie… but I could work on all the other parts, as long as I get to have my own queen, a glorious golden queen if I may say so.”

---

Jimin was sure she was the polished piece that was missing in his gleaming collection. Furthermore, he refuses to let anyone taint her with their filthy hands.

Therefore, he made it his mission to woo and entice her.

---

It took him months, nearly an entire year for her to take his advances soberly. Most of her initial answers towards his courting were met with snarky answers or scoffs towards his statements; still he had finally made her his and unknowingly he ended up being only hers.

---

Now the only thoughts that crowd his mind are the ones following those days; the memory of them having a picnic not too far on the side of a pond hidden in the middle of a clearing in the woods.

It was the first-time y/n had accepted his proposal of taking her out on a date, promising her she wouldn’t regret it.

Or also that one time they decided to go hiking and y/n got too tired to walk back down, so he shifted and flew them back to the valley surrounding the mountain base.

And who can forget the first time they shared a kiss. That night the faes had helped Jimin light up the forest in the most majestic way possible. Never had the nature faes listened to anyone else but the queen, however they somehow felt safe with him just like with their majesty.

Once the assistants of nature guided their monarch to her destination, they disappeared leaving a faint glow behind that barely lit up their silhouettes enough to find each other.

Jimin came clean about how at the beginning, it was a challenge he made to himself of conquering the unconquered one, however with time, he had started noticing the little cute things she did, her quirks, the way the flowers in her hair changed colors based on her mood or how she was always surrounded by some type of fauna and took care of each one of them.

Now all those things made his heart flutter.

His hands had never sweat like that day, due to nervousness, in fact he had never been nervous, let alone for asking someone out.

On that day he shook like a leaf at the mercy of the wind while he held y/n’s hand in his and spoke to her in almost a whisper.

Her smile extended from one ear to another, the flowers in her hair turning yellow and lilac and her eyes crinkling due to her large smith while she bounced eagerly as he spoke.

One of his hands caressed her cheek while the other snaked around her lower back, gently pulling her closer to him until they bumped into each other’s chest.

It felt like years as they watched each other unsure if they should continue what they had begun or if the other would make the first move.

Unfortunately, they’ll never know who acted out first, considering the fact that their intentions had now seeped into the physical realm.

Jimin remembers her soft lips brushing against his, both of them uncertain if the previous motion was the right thing to do, nevertheless they venture deeper into their wants, y/n’s hands now circling his neck, slightly scratching at it as his lips pressed firmly against her own.

A soft gasp and a small sigh of content left her lips as his tongue gave her bottom lip a soft lick, the warmness of it was a whole different contrast from the cool breeze swooshed between them.

All of their thoughts were obliterated, as they captured each other and left small nips here and there.

What great memory. Sadly, Jimin had to soon return to the present and that meant fixing the crap he did.

♤♤End of Flashback♤♤

Ready to re-test his luck, Jimin took another blind chance to capture y/n’s wrist with his strong tail, this time making use of his sneakiest weapon, baby dragon eyes accompanied by a pout.

Regrettably, Jimin’s brownie points were running low and it showed once y/n finally faced him with golden irises on display. The brilliant hue almost matched the golden color of her skin.

Eyes solely focused on Jimin now, branches began to appear from behind her, catching Jimin by surprise.

“Listen here Dragon, if you don’t let me go, I won’t be held responsible for the consequences" She warned with vice in her tone.

Feeling like story was repeating itself, Jimin looked her up and down and blessed her eyes with his spiky white teeth before saying what could easily become his last words.

“Or what baby?”

In a blink of an eye y/n’s branches and thorns fastened to Jimin’s legs with a merciless grasp that constricted his body like a boa ready for her meal.

Each branch and thorn seemed to have a mind of its own, as they slowly slithered themselves all the way from his legs to his chest and neck.

He was sure she would end him this time. No mercy behind those golden eyes.

---

Like any couple, they’ve had their disagreements and it is safe to say that even for a dragon like him, y/n has the worst temper of them both.

Tails say, it’s due to the humans that she was made bitter, they ruined the soil we all step on. Others say a human man once lied to her to steal her grace, nonetheless, the words confirming these theories never spilled out of her mouth.

---

Sometimes Jimin forgot who his girlfriend really was and how strong she could be, up to the point where she could end him if he gave her the chance to do so.

Yet, after seeing her wrath and how much she could destroy him, he knew she had a soft spot for him; maybe it was love, maybe it was their mutual despise for the same creatures, but in the end he always found a way to make it up to her, because in his case, he did know that he had found love with her.

So, before she threw another oak tree at him like last month, he decided to do what was right.

“Baby, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to lie, I just wanted to spend some time with my friends"

“You could have said so from the beginning and not lie about you being at your mom’s”

“I know, ok and I’m sorry, I know I’m an idiot and I know what I did was wrong, and I made your trust in me break, but I promise it won’t happen again”

“It won’t happen because I’m going to end you here and now, Park Jimin”

“Babe, come on, you don’t mean that…” he hoped she didn’t mean that.

And just like that her eyes softened, no longer the golden color they held before.

Her face was now home of a small pout and her arms were crossed over her chest, still showing signs of her disappointment in him.

“So, I’m forgiven?”

“No! You’re still a liar”

“I promise it won’t happen again” he repeated giving her baby dragon eyes.

Even though she had calmed down, she still wasn’t budging.

“And I promise I’ll go plant 10 trees on Saturday of whichever type you want”

The 10 seconds that succeeded the sentence that slipped past his lips, were the swiftest 10 seconds on earth, he felt like there was a whole different person standing in front of him.

“Really Jimin? Any tree? You know we need more sequoias or maybe an English oak?”

“All of them my love, we can plant anything you want”

She beamed retracting all her roots, branches and thorns, while her hair returned to the beautiful bunch of flowers and vines it had been before.

Her skin still glowed; however, it now held a chocolatey glow to it.

---

Jimin watched her lovingly as she started walking back towards him, while a single vine from her hair gently tangled itself on his arm.

He brought up his wrapped arm and placed a soft kiss on her vine, earning a cheerful giggle from her.

“Anything for you, my golden queen of the woods”.

35 Captivating Peekaboo Highlights

Anjali Sayee December 31, 2018

Peek-a-boo, I see you!

Is your Insta-feed currently flooded with images of hidden hair colors? If yes, you’ve been hit by the peekaboo highlights trend. It’s when you think you know someone’s hair color, but when they move the top layer of hair, it reveals a totally different color. Well, that hair color trend is called peekaboo highlights. It’s also referred to as hidden highlights.

You can choose from a classic red peekaboo to a stunning multicolored one. To get in on the fun, read on!

What Exactly Are Peekaboo Highlights?

Why the name peekaboo?

Have you played a game of peek-a-boo with a child? You cover your eyes, then suddenly open them and say “peek-a-boo!” The sound of laughter from that child is priceless. That’s the kind of joy you’ll feel when you get peekaboo highlights. Peekaboo highlights are colored highlights that are hidden under the top layer of your hair. They are most commonly done at the back of the head. The best thing about this style is that you don’t have to limit yourself to just one or two colors. You can get these peekaboo highlights in as many colors as you want.

Off the bat, I’m going to plead with you to go to a hairstylist to get the perfect peekaboo highlights. It takes a great deal of experience to get these intricate patterns and colors right. So, make an appointment with a professional hairstylist to avoid damaging your hair. Check out the next section to find out how to go about it.

How To Get Peekaboo Highlights

Decide what colors and pattern of peekaboo highlights you want to flaunt. Take your natural hair color, skin tone, and eye color into consideration. You can seek a professional hairstylist’s advice to do so.

Tell your stylist how you normally part your hair to help them figure out where to place the peekaboo highlights.

The stylist will color your hair in sections, leaving the top layer of your hair untouched to hide the peekaboo highlights. They begin coloring at the top, about an inch from the parting, and move downwards. They use foils to keep the hair color from spreading to the parts of your hair that you don’t want to color.

Now, I’m sure you must be wondering how much damage peekaboo highlights unleash on your hair. Don’t worry, you can protect and nourish your hair by following the simple maintenance tips listed in the next section. Check them out!

How To Maintain Peekaboo Highlights

Use a color-safe shampoo and conditioner to prevent your hair color from fading for as long as possible. These products will also nourish your hair that has been left dry and damaged from bleaching.

Use a color-safe shampoo along with a hydrating conditioner to take care of all your newly-colored hair’s needs.

Coloring your hair can dry out and damage it, which can lead to hair loss and breakage. Use a moisturizing hair mask to add protein and hydration to your tresses and get rejuvenated and healthy hair.

Oil your hair twice a week. Massage warm oil into your scalp and hair to nourish them. This not only prevents hair damage but also adds shine to your hair.

For two to three weeks immediately after you’ve colored your hair, don’t tie your hair in tight ponytails or braids. Your hair is already fragile, and tying it tightly can cause a lot of breakage. Instead of tight ponytails and updos, opt for messy buns and loose braids.

Brush your hair gently. Start at the ends and work your way up. Don’t pull your brush at the knots; detangle them gently. This might seem strenuous, but it is good for your locks in the long run – colored or not.

To keep your highlights looking fresh, get regular touch-ups done. Ask your stylist how often should you get them done and keep at it. You’ll have perfect highlights that don’t look washed out or faded. Your grown-out roots can also be colored during the touch-ups, so your peekaboo game is on point.

Now that you know how to get and maintain peekaboo highlights, let’s check out the top 35 ways that you can style them!

35 Captivating Peekaboo Highlights Styles

1. Chocolate Brown And Lilac

Okay, first of all, that asymmetrical bob is on point! Chocolate brown hair acts as a curtain for light lilac hair in this look. This peekaboo highlights style is perfect for the fall. The brown and lilac go surprisingly well together and look great on fair skin.

2. Pop Of Purple

Were you waiting as eagerly as I was to see which color the peekaboo highlights were? Just a pop of purple done up in peekaboo highlights creates a look that is to die for. It adds a 3D effect to this blonde and brunette color combo.

3. Monochrome

Sinatra or Martin? Marvel or DC? Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network? These are iconic choices, just like the age-old black or white. But, sometimes, black and white can join forces to create a surreal peekaboo hairstyle.

4. Denim

The denim fad has been around for ages, and it’s not going anywhere. It should come as no surprise that it’s also been made into a hair color. This color is deep but vibrant, which makes it great for women who want just a subtle pop of color.

5. Purple And Blue

Have you ever seen the stunning salvia and lithodora flowers? They are the most gorgeous shades of purple and blue that you’ll ever see. Purple symbolizes a woman’s fire while blue stands for calmness, thus making for the perfect blend of femininity.

6. Burnt Highlights

Peekaboo highlights aren’t always hidden. Look at this lovely auburn hue in the front that blends well with the brown hair at the back. You can see a brilliant burnt hint all over her brown locks. This is the perfect hair color for the winter.

7. Wino Mix

When the world seems to shine like you’ve had too much wine, that’s amore. Famous singer Dean Martin was known for having a glass of alcohol in hand while singing. But did you know that most of the tipple was cider? Coming back to the topic, though, wine peekaboo highlights look gorgeous and give a mysterious feel.

8. Woody Composition

Have you ever carved your initials on a tree? If you haven’t, I’m sure you’ve at least seen a movie in which it’s done. The dark brown reveals a pale white inside when carved. This wintery peekaboo highlights look reminds me of that.

9. Blonde Peekaboo

Black hair that ends in a burnt orange ombre with blonde peekaboo highlights – this hair color is all warmth and fire. It’s perfect for those autumn and winter nights when it’s cold outside and cozy inside. The curls at the ends round off this look beautifully.

10. Unicorn Blend

Hello, unicorns! I haven’t tried the unicorn frappe, but these peekaboo highlights make me want to go get one right now. My mind immediately went to Avril Lavigne rocking out to ‘Sk8er Boi’ thanks to this blonde, purple, and pink mix. The purple adds a rich depth to this look. And, let’s not forget the blue that pulls you in like the ocean.

11. Pink Pop

Imagine tying this hair in a high ponytail – it would totally dazzle! The brightness of the pink stands out starkly against the darkness of the black hair. This is ideal for tweens, teen, and young adults.

12. Mermaid Tales

Mermaids are feisty mythical creatures. I’m sure after you saw Ariel in The Little Mermaid, you wanted to be a mermaid too. She had this glossy blue-green fishtail that is the inspiration for this peekaboo highlights look.

13. Intensely Purple

If you have brown hair, go for an intense shade like this deep purple. I took a picture of a purple flower a while back that was placed amidst brown leaves. That’s what this hair look reminds me of. The purple adds a lovely vibrance to her brown locks.

14. Neutral Blend

A deep blue, bright purple, and hints of pink come together to give us this wonderful hair color blend. These three colors create a lovely peekaboo highlights look. The black hair intensifies the entire look.

15. Chocolate-Strawberry Mix

Deep pink highlights on brown hair make me think of a chocolate and strawberry cake. Rich chocolate blended with the freshness of strawberry is all I need to get me through the day. Excuse me while I make a quick trip to the bakery!

16. Beachy Vibes

Golden sand and blue waves – that’s the perfect vacation. I can almost feel the soft sand sinking beneath my feet and hear the swoosh of the waves when I look at these peekaboo highlights.

17. The Forest Mix

Green leaves, brown marshy sand, and bluish-green streams – this is the best forest blend hair color I’ve ever seen. These dirty blonde locks with burnt orange and mermaid blue peekaboo highlights look perfect for those hot summers.

18. Phoenix Rising

This video reminds me of the phoenix spreading its wings and flying away to save Harry Potter from the Chamber of Secrets. And, I have to say, I’m loving this full peekaboo highlights. The red and orange add tons of spice and “flav-ah” to these light ginger tresses.

19. Cherry Cola Pops

Darken your locks this winter and get some intense cherry cola pop peekaboo highlights. It’s sure to heat up your cold, snowy days and nights. The black hair makes the cherry cola color look brown from some angles, which is a win-win in my book.

20. Shock Purple

Shocking purple highlights look uber vibrant on black locks. If you like the emo and grunge vibe, this hair look is for you. Spruce up your black hair with some metallic gloss to make the purple pop even more.

21. Colorful Mermaid

Some women believe the mermaid colors are blue and green, but others say they are pink and purple. Well, why fight when you can get both blends? Let’s be mermaids with these gorgeous peekaboo highlights, ladies!

Somewhere over the rainbow…is a layer of black hair. This hair color blend is mind-blowing. I can only describe it as supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! I think anyone who sports this mix of colors wakes up feeling fresh and ready to take on the world.

26. Platinum Mix With Lilac

Lilac and platinum hair colors are really trending now. Both of these colors are super glossy and a great way to give yourself a dramatic makeover. Add some nice silver highlights to the platinum blonde tresses to add dimension to your hair.

Champagne or hot chocolate – what’s your beverage of choice? More importantly, why choose when both make for stunning hair colors? The age-old rivalry between blonde or brunettes has never found better common ground than this color mix. The curls add oomph and volume to the look.

30. Candy Crush

Candy crush! The game that took all our attention and got us even more addicted to our phones. After all, who can resist those blue, pink, and red jellybeans? Well, take that candy obsession to your hair and make it candilicious!

31. Bright Pastels

Pastels and bright colors can be mixed to create a terrific blend. If you can go for multiple colors, why not go all out and make it one of the best mixes ever? If you are not afraid of being loud and vibrant, go for it!

Move aside your brown hair to showcase your red locks. It looks magical and mysterious. You can never go wrong with the classic red. N-E-V-E-R!
