Whac-A-Headstone

Pairing: Game Owner Jungkook x Employee Reader

Genre: Fluff & Humour

↳ (10k) BTS Village AU

Summary: Working at the arcade can be downright miserable and it doesn't help that your boss isn't, well, the brightest lightbulb in the world. Add to this his extremely dramatic and prideful ways, you're left wondering why you even choose to work at the place anymore. You fortunately receive the answer in the form of Richman V one day, who has been eyeing your boss's pride and joy for quite some time.

Warnings: pg13 rating, some major spoilers for BTS Run ep. 120-121 (watch them before reading this), everyone in this fic literally has no chill (WHAT!?)

A pair of two small feet come to a stop.

Across from the road are multiple posters and signs, from large cardboard cutouts to cliche and cheesy slogans scribbled on paper. There’s a string of colourful lights hanging from above, ranging from a neon yellow to a dark blue. It’s extremely noisy, but the boy’s feet tread closer, round eyes enamoured from the over the top appearance.

The door is cautiously pushed open, the sound of his feet slowly shuffling against rough carpet echoing.

The boy’s eyes widen, peering around in puzzlement.

The shop appears nowhere near what its display offers. The walls are painted with a hue of dull beige, and there’s no intriguing lights with huge signs compelling him forward. Instead, there’s a large bookcase that he barely acknowledges, alongside a set of bright machines that remind him of its exterior.

As if in a trance, his attention is drawn away instantly and he doesn’t hesitate to stumble across one of the machines, eagerly eyeing it down. After struggling to sit on one of the high stools, an innocent smile spreads across his lips once he eyes the multiple colourful controls within his reach. He presses a button in curiosity, but the screen in front of him doesn’t change.

His smile drops into a pout, and he attempts again, only to be met with the same result. He then presses multiple buttons, frustration only building up at the blank screen.

A shadow lurks behind him.

“Hey kid.” He jolts, spinning around instantly. “You have to pay to play games here.”

The boy stares like he can’t comprehend those words, his eyes big and naive. You cross your arms, a scowl lining your lips and expression void of any amusement.

His shoulders deflate and the corners of his mouth downturn with disappointment. You continue to stare at him, gaze not wavering.

A long exasperated sigh leaves your lips and your eyes quickly survey the empty arcade around you. Taking a step forward, you rummage through the pockets of your uniform pants and out emerges a shining coin that has the boy’s eyes lighting up.

The coin slots into the machine and you turn around to face him, features still impassive.

“You owe me for this one.” You mumble underneath your breath, but he simply retaliates with a gigantic smile on his face.

The game immediately turns on as the boy begins playing, eyes eagerly sweeping across the bright screen as his fingers hurriedly tap against the multiple buttons. You watch from afar, the corner of your mouth lifting into an amused half-smile.

The sound of loud footsteps echos through the walls.

An annoyed exhale leaves your lips and it isn’t long before the back door is being ripped open, a young man emerging within seconds. You’re unfortunately painfully aware of who he is and it’s probably high time to clarify who you exactly work for.

Jeon Jungkook ‒ or simply your boss, if you actually took the liberty to address him as one ‒ is the person in charge of your employment. You’ve been working for him longer than you imagine and as you eye him from the corner of your eye, you can only contemplate how you’ve managed to even stick around for so long.

He pushes the big glasses on the rim of his nose back with his fingers, his eyes wide and practically boiling with vigor. He’s dressed in his usual attire, a button up shirt with a subdued green print on it and tight fitted black trousers. There’s a jarring amount of gel in his hair that only seems to increase with time and if anything, he looks more like some kind of mafia boss running an organization rather than the owner of an arcade.

His gaze is targeted on you, barely acknowledging the child that was excitedly playing one of his games and who is now staring between the two of you with wide eyes. You presume the boy is having the same thoughts running through his head that everyone has when they meet Jungkook, and it could be summed up with simply calling him a‒

“Y/N!” He abruptly yells, a muscle in his eye already twitching, “I heard one of the machines being turned on?!”

A nutcase.

You work for an absolute nutcase.

“Yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s how arcades work, you know? The machine has to be on for you to play an‒”

“You know what I mean!” Jungkook snaps, waving off your sarcasm.

“Oh.” You say, pointing towards the boy, “The kid wanted to play a game, so he paid for it and now he’s playing it.”

“Actually…” The boy suddenly speaks up, voice quiet and hesitant, “The nice lady paid so I could play.”

His eyes sparkle, like he holds you in high regard. Although he warmly smiles acknowledging your kind deed, your eye twitches and you mentally make a note to never to help out a child in your lifetime ever again.

Turning around, your eyes meet Jungkook’s and he’s fuming.

You internally sigh, already aware of what’s to come.

“Y/N, how could you do such a thing?!” He dramatically says, pressing a hand against his temples, “To take away from the money I could have had….just how? How?!”

“I was bored.” You honestly retort, unfazed in the slightest as you shrug, “And our only customer was a kid, besides‒”

You raise an eyebrow, narrowing your eyes at Jungkook, “Are you losing money or something? Why are you so worried about one kid that I paid for?” A spark resides in your eyes, “Is the business shutting down?”

Jungkook gasps, like you’ve offended his whole entire being. “What?! NO!” He shakes his head, “H-How could you even suggest something like that?!”

He leans against one of the machines, tightly wrapping his arms around it. You roll your eyes, watching him have a semi-crisis over the fact that you suggested his business is going down the drain.

“I’ll never give my business up!” He yells it out like it’s a statement he wants even the neighbors to hear.

“Yeah, yeah, sure thing, boss.” You retort as you slide over an extra lollipop to the kid that you were saving for later. He beams at you and you smile, but then Jungkook complains you aren’t listening to him enough and you let out a sigh, turning around to coax him.

***

After playing a couple of rounds on the machine before it shuts down, the boy bids you both a goodbye and sincere thank you. You tell him not to forget to bring some coins next time with a mumble and his eyes light up, followed by a very cute nod.

Closing the door behind him as he leaves, you spin around with a lengthy sigh. Digging into the pockets of your uniform, you yank out your phone and begin to scroll through the contents with tired eyes. The entire store is empty, save for you and the supposed boss of yours that you presume is lurking around somewhere.

The sound of a loud ding startles you, phone nearly slipping onto the ground. Your eyes are wide and on alert, sweeping around the vacant room.

“Aha! TAKE THIS!” There’s a loud thud that echoes through the room, and your eyes instantly narrow. You tuck away your phone, shuffling your hands in your pockets and nonchalantly walking towards the source of the sound.

Although puzzlement strikes you first, it quickly morphs into amusement as you reach the doorframe. Jungkook stands before the whac-a-mole machine, practically slamming the hammer against the poor plastic mole pieces in an effort to increase his score.

Which is nearing a hundred and fifty by the way, the highest score one can achieve in the game.

Your brows knit together as he keeps striking the popping moles, only for the machine to brightly light up seconds later with large digital letters saying WINNER in red across the board.

“I DID IT!” He suddenly shouts, spinning around and spotting you instantly, “Y/N, I beat my own record!”

You cross your arms, “Congrats.”

There’s a spark of smugness in his expression as he crosses his arms, cockly staring at you, “Looks like my score is officially unbeatable now.”

Although you know it’s practically bait that he’s throwing out, your lips move faster than you can register.

“It’s still beatable.” His irises light up in an instant and you want to curse at yourself for falling into the trap, but the look of challenge in his eyes is enough to spark your own fuel, “I can beat it.”

“Oh, really?” Jungkook questions, offering up the hammer, “Let’s see you try.”

You grab it from his hold without hesitation, gesture for him to turn on the machine. It lights up within seconds and with a deep breath, you brace yourself as much as possible.

The moles pop up within seconds, your eyes darting and flickering all over the platform. The hammer in your hands is soaring, hitting as fast as possible as quickly as possible. At one point, your hands mismatch and you catch an empty one, something that makes Jungkook snort but only increases your competitive streak even more.

Sweat has begun to fester at your temples, but you pay it no mind once the last mole is hit and your eyes are glued to the scoreboard. In giant bulging letters, your score is displayed before you.

5 points away from Jungkook’s score.

You can already hear the cheers of ecstasy leaving his voice, or the daunting smugness leaking from the words that he’s aching to sprout in your direction. But when you turn, there’s this annoying magnified smile plastered onto his face that’s somehow even worse.

You let out a huff and before Jungkook can start running all over the place in excitement like a child, a knock sounds from the door.

You straighten up immediately, raising a brow.

Customers don’t usually knock.

“Were you expecting someone?” You immediately wonder. A groan leaves Jungkook and he mutters underneath his breath, something along the lines of ‘this guy again’.

Dragging himself to the door to answer, your features contort into surprise once it’s yanked open.

A young man stands before you, his arms crossed behind his back and gaze scrutinizing. He’s dressed far too fancy for an arcade, a fine white collared shirt with a black tie and vest that hug his body. His bronze locks are long and perfectly curl at the front, but their rich appearance is muted from his piercing eyes, which at the moment are gawking all around your workplace.

Jungkook is first to speak up, clearly annoyed with the stranger’s prolonged ogling antics.

“Hey!” The stranger immediately turns to him, “Are you going to keep staring at my game room or are you going to say something?”

He stares at Jungkook, completely unfazed and apathetic to his loud exterior. It throws you off for a moment, wondering if there was even someone aside from you that possessed the ability to do so.

His words are sharp and discrete, straight to the point. “I want to buy it.” He tilts to his head slightly to the side, “Have you made up your mind yet?”

Your head snaps in Jungkook’s direction at the inquiry, appallment crossing all over your features. Jungkook looks like he’s ready to explode at any minute, hands balling up into fists.

He mimics the stranger’s tone, gritting the words out, “It’s not for sale.”

“I think there should be enough space to rearrange the front.” The man continues to speak as if he didn’t hear Jungkook, “These will have to be destroyed in order for a counter to be placed.”

He’s examining the machines already, frowning at their appearance and that’s when Jungkook ticks. Pacing forward, he wraps his hand around the stranger’s arm and begins to drag him out, even as he continues to survey the area like a thousand thoughts were running through his mind.

“Okay, now that’s really nice.” Jungkook cheekily says, but you can still hear the lingering anger in his voice, “How about you go redesign the neighbor's place? I hear they have a hairstylist who loves to gossip so it’d be nice for the two of you to chit-chat.”

The posh man looks composed and you’re beginning to question if he was potentially holding onto a facade to not be able to hear Jungkook. It’s not long before he’s politely escorted out the door, with Jungkook practically lunging for the opportunity to shut the door behind him.

He spins around, pressing his back against it as a sigh of relief leaves his lips. You can only stare at him in confusion as silence lingers, eventually breaking it with your own inquiries.

“What just happened?”

Jungkook’s wide eyes snap up, like he had completely forgotten you were in the room with him.

“Oh that,” A strained chuckle leaves him, “He’s been coming around here often, usually in the early mornings when you’re not around.”

He sits down on a chair that’s in front of the cash register, continuing to explain, “That’s Richman V, the guy nearly owns every property here in BTS Village.”

Jungkook continues to meekly laugh, but it only serves to draw out concern from you. “So...what? He wants to buy the arcade?”

“Well, uh,” He sheepishly scratches the back of his neck, “Yeah…”

A deep frown settles on your features as you stare at Jungkook, who’s smile seems to be fading by the moment.

“And like…” You begin, trying to wrap your head around the situation, “What? Are you going to sell it and hand it over or something?”

You’re the one laughing now, staring at him in amusement. Jungkook’s smile is completely gone, his eyes fixated on the ground.

“And what if I just did?”

For a moment, you could have sworn he was joking. But Jungkook’s tone is completely different ‒ voice having dropped a couple of octaves with no hints of humour present.

It only drills in deeper when he lifts his gaze to meet yours, a certain glint of anguish residing in there that you haven’t quite seen before.

You struggle to come up with words, “Y-You can’t be serious…”

“And what if I am?” Jungkook rests his hand against his cheek, leaning against the front counter. A sigh leaves him and your brows contort together, lips pressing together into a firm line.

You scoff, “B-But I would be unemployed....��

Jungkook’s gaze is fixated on the counter as he shrugs, “Then just find another job.”

“It wouldn’t be the same!”

His head snaps up, lips falling agape with the sudden outburst. You immediately avert your eyes, letting out an awkward cough.

In the midst of the silence, you ponder again, “Have you made up your mind then...? To sell it?”

“Sort of.” Jungkook mumbles, gaze drifting to the ground, “The game room hasn’t been doing too well financially and even though Richman V is kind of annoying....I’ve been thinking about his offer.”

Your eyes narrow at him.

His tone sounds like he’s already been defeated without a full fight, giving in without any resistance.

The boss you know would have to be physically dragged out of this arcade, his loud protests probably being capable of deafening those that want to take away his prize possession.

“Wait, just like that?” For once, you’re the one that’s more upset, “You love this place.”

His features twist, “Well yeah, but‒”

“This is coming from you, the same person that tried having a disco day at the arcade to attract customers and forced me to wear a rainbow coloured wig with roller skates because ‘it goes with the flow’ and ‘the entire vibe would be ruined’ if i didn’t!”

Jungkook stares at you wide-eyed and you scoff in disbelief, gaze connecting with the bookcase stationed in the corner of the room, “At one point, we even hauled in that giant thing together when you were convinced that the youngsters are ‘reading too much these days’ and that we’ll lose popularity to a hair salon next door that was giving out free magazines in their waiting room!”

“You seem to remember a lot of the things I’ve done....”

“I’m not done!” You wave a finger at him, ignoring his astonished expression and continuing with your rant, “There was even a time when you used me to distribute flyers and made me shout that ‘there’s no place I would want to work at beside Jeon’s arcade’, which by the way, is pretty much the opposite of how I feel!”

Jungkook lets out a snort at that, to which you direct an angry glare in his direction. Your rambles continue as he fondly watches you, somehow managing to spur up a spark of hope that was diminishing by the minute inside him.

“So you’re telling me that the same person that was responsible for all that is willingly going to give up his arcade?” You plant your hands on your waist, raising a challenging eyebrow at him, “Are you sure you’re my boss?”

“You’re right.” Jungkook honestly confesses, “This place means a lot to the both of us and we can’t let it head down under because some posh guy wants to own it.”

He raises up a fist, looking more determined as ever, “I’m not letting anyone take it from me without a fight.”

You cross your arms, a smirk rising on your lips.

“Now that’s the boss I know.”

“Jungkook, this is stupid.” You protest, the icy breeze from outside already nipping at your skin. Your boss spins around on his heels, his determination still overflowing.

“How is having some faith stupid?”

“It’s stupid when you drag me out at 7 in the morning without a coat to make a damn wish.” You bite back, barely able to feel your toes as you walk behind him through the village.

“I don’t feel cold.” He proudly announces.

“You’re shivering.” You point out, his chattering teeth and quivering form already being a dead giveaway thanks to his need in retaining his weird get-up out of the arcade.

“Shivering? That’s nonsense, I don’t feel the c-c-cold.” You let out a sigh, unraveling your scarf in the midst of his protests. Instead of handing it to him, you toss it over his head and he whirls around, frowning at you.

“Take it.” You mumble, not noticing him eventually wrapping it around himself as if it was desperate to retain some heat. You walk ahead of him, halting your steps and glancing around confused.

“So where’s this headstone you’ve been obsessing about?”

Jungkook squints, “It should be somewhere her‒OH!”

You whip around, watching Jungkook jog over to a small landmark at the side of the trail. Treading cautiously after him, you notice a structure made up of granite, appearing like a round ball that was placed on a stick.

You tilt your head, “This is the ARMY headstone?”

“It protects the entire village!” Jungkook chides, “Don’t you know that?”

“Yeah, yeah, it protects us and we protect it in return.” You wave away it’s history. Unlike others the stone simply just existed for you, not being as ‘special’ or ‘glorious’ as it was for the other villagers.

“We need to make a wish to save the arcade.” He firmly states, eyeing you for an answer. You let out a sigh, eventually mumbling out the words in the most monotone voice.

“Please save our arcade.” You turn to Jungkook, “There, happy?”

There’s a smug smile on Jungkook’s lips and you scoff, glancing around as he makes his wish. Your eyes roam around the expanses of the village, landing on an individual scurrying around with bright teal hair and dressed in a uniform.

Your eyes instantly light up, “Namjoon!”

He notices you right away, jogging over in an instant.

“Y/N?” He says astonished, “I haven’t seen you around in a while, how have you been?”

“Ah, just the usual.” You shrug, “I’m always at the game room these days.”

A laugh slips from him and you smile, but you don’t notice the gaze Jungkook throws in your direction.

“Find any new auditions recently?”

“Ah no, I’m still trying though.” He professes, “I’ve been saving up in case I actually manage to get one.”

“You’ll find one soon, I’m sure of it.”

Namjoon sheepishly scratches the back of his neck, a dust of pink on his cheeks, “You know...there’s this new movie playing in the theatre….”

He rummages through his pockets, pulling out two tickets. “I’ve heard really good things about it.”

Your eyes spark, reaching out for them, “Oh, that would be so ni‒”

The tickets are instantly snatched away from you, an arm wrapping around your shoulders.

“That does sound lovely!” Jungkook smiles, “Thanks for the tickets RM!”

Namjoon glances between the two of you, “O-Oh…” He meekly laughs, “I-I hope you guys enjoy….”

He takes a step back, waving at you. “Guess I’ll see you around then Y/N....”

You watch his fading back in dismay, barely able to say goodbye to him as he rushes away.

The moment he’s gone, you spin around and glare at Jungkook. “What the hell?! I wanted to go with him!”

“Too late.” Jungkook cheekily smiles, “Now you have me~”

A deep frown settles on your features, “Perfect. Just perfect.” You shake your head, “Not only do I have to see my boss at work, but now I have to go watch a movie with him.”

“I know right?” Jungkook leans forward, “Who is this boss of yours by the way? He sounds like an incredible person.”

“Oh, he’s great ‒ great at being annoying.” You huff as Jungkook laughs at your silly taunt, practically skipping behind you as you return back to the arcade.

In the midst of your banter though, you don’t notice the particular pattern Jungkook’s shoes leave in the soil.

***

Upon returning, you and Jungkook get to work right away.

“What about a slogan?” You suggest, “Something that catches people’s eye and gets stuck in their minds?”

Jungkook places a contemplating finger against his mouth. It’s not long before his fingers are snapping, a bright glint sparking up in his eyes.

“Jeon’s arcade is the best.” His pupils are wide and there’s a giant grin spread on his features, but it clashes with your muted expression.

You raise an eyebrow, “Jeon’s arcade is the best…?”

He snaps his fingers again, shaking his head, “It’s great, I’m telling you. It’ll catch on within days.”

A dreary sigh leaves your lips, “How about something less...prideful?” Your eyes twinkle, “Like come down to Jeon’s arcade for a brand new experience?”

Jungkook scrunches up his nose, “That sounds awful.”

“It’s better than declaring you have the best arcade.” You mumble.

“It is the best arcade!” He pursues his lips, before finally muttering in defeat, “And technically the only one here…”

You’re about to suggest that maybe rearranging things in the game room would help for better promotion, but the lights begin to flicker.

“Wha‒” You’re unable to finish your sentence, the entire room plunging into complete darkness.

“Jungkook?” You question in concern, carefully shuffling your feet around. There’s a slight movement that brushes by your arm, your head spinning instantly.

“I think it’s a power outage.” He confirms, and you can hear the soles of his feet pacing around the room, “Let me see if I can find the backup generator…”

You hear some scrambling and shuffling around, until it’s accompanied by a loud thud and a sharp “ow!”.

“Are you okay?” You ponder, only receiving a dismay groan from him.

“I’m fine, but why is your voice coming from the machines?”

You blink, “Because that’s where I’m standing?”

“What?” Jungkook says in disbelief, “I could have sworn‒”

In an instant, light floods the room. Your eyes are rounded as they finally peer around, noticing Jungkook at the other end of the room with his eyelids screwed shut and holding onto his foot.

His lids flutter open, taken aback with your appearance. A sudden thump resonates against the floorboard.

You and Jungkook can only stare at each other petrified at the sound of feet moving about while both of you remain stationary.

Swallowing down his unease, Jungkook places a finger on his lips, gesturing for you not to let out a peep. He carefully steps forward, keeping the silence in the room intact to peer over at the counter.

A man suddenly pops his head out, a pout resting on his plush lips.

Jungkook staggers back, placing a hand against his racing heart.

“What are you doing here?!”

The man tilts his head to the side, looking down and then dusting himself off. There’s a black beret sitting on his head, a white-collared shirt overlapping with two suspenders that connect to his brown trousers. He continues to pout, eyes glancing around the counter until they stop on a circular object.

“Ah, there it is!” He excitedly whispers, wrapping his fingers around the large magnifying glass. Jungkook’s eye twitches, strutting up and grabbing onto the man’s shoulder.

“Hey! I asked what you’re doing here!”

He frowns, “Are you always this rude to people?”

Jungkook scoffs, but you interject, voice confused.

“Jin?”

His eyes snap up to you, “Oh, hi Y/N.”

“What are you doing here?”

“Investigating.” He immediately says, raising his magnifying glass. He begins walking around the room, a curious look to his eyes. “How long have the two of you been here?”

“Since the power went out.” You answer.

“Fascinating.” He continues his stroll, only faltering when Jungkook pulls at one of his suspenders from behind.

He appears annoyed from the former barely acknowledging him. “Why are you in my arcade trying to investigate, Jin?!”

Jin spins around, smacking his instrument against Jungkook’s head.

“Ow!”

“That’s Detective Jin to you, Mister.” He shakes his head in dismay, “Seriously, where have your manners gone, Kook?”

He glances at Jungkook, “And to answer your prior question, there’s been a recent crime in BTS Village. I’m here to solve it.”

“A crime?” You cross your arms, “What makes you think the arcade has anything to do with it?”

“Well, it’s not so much the arcade that has something to do with it…” He suddenly twirls around, pointing his giant magnifying glass at Jungkook who looks baffled, “But someone that might play a hand in the crime.”

You peer over his shoulder, noticing him narrowing in on Jungkook’s eye as the latter stiffens.

A scoff leaves your lips, “You’re drawing an absurd conclusion.”

“Oh really, Y/N?” He spins around, nearly whipping you in the face with the glass, “Perhaps you were at the crime scene too then?”

He begins scrutinizing you, and you uncomfortably shift from the glass being pointed at your eye this time.

Jungkook huffs, straightening up his clothes. “Don’t you use that magnifying glass to see how big your mouth is half the time?”

Jin raises his head, suddenly feeling offended. A snort leaves you, further fueling his dismay.

“Trying to use a personal connection on a detective now, are we?”

Jungkook plants his hands on his hips, “Well, this detective showed up at my arcade out of nowhere and is interrogating the hell out of me and my employee without any proof.”

Jin smiles, “Proof! Of course!”

He moves at the speed of wind, racing around the game room as you and Jungkook hurriedly trail after him. He stops right at the front, a small shoe rack capturing his interest immediately.

He starts tossing them aside one by one.

“Hey, stop!” Jungkook scrambles to catch them before they land on the ground, “Those are expensive!”

“Timberlands?” Jin questions, eyeing one certain beige pair before tossing it away too, “You need better taste, kid.”

Jungkook practically shoots out his arm in efforts to catch it, but it slips from his grasp and you dive forward, grasping onto it instantly.

“This is ridiculous.” You huff, “Jungkook hasn’t done anything, Jin.”

He hums, rising onto his feet. “Is that so, Y/N? Then how about you explain this?”

Whirling around, he points towards the base of one of Jungkook’s slippers, the same ones he hastily put on when he pushed for you to come with him to the headstone.

You narrow your eyes, not grasping onto his dramatic revelation, “It’s a slipper. You know, people use them for their feet…?”

“Not just any slipper!” Jin waves it in the air, far too close to your face as you grimace, “But evidence! Evidence that was at the crime scene during the time of the crime!”

He pulls out a photograph, showing a footprint that matches up to the shoe, “Someone knocked over and broke our precious ARMY headstone and that person is standing right in front of me!”

Jungkook looks as much at a loss of words as you do. You can’t deny that Jin is wrong, the picture in his hands and the slipper looking similar. The problem is you know what events transpired, having been with Jungkook as he pushed you to make a wish before speaking with Namjoon.

There’s no way he could have done anything.

“I-I…” Jungkook begins.

“You did it! Mystery solved.”

“What?” You snap, stalking up to Jin, “This is prosperous, you need more evidence than just a footprint!”

“Oh? Is that denial I hear?” Jin cheekily questions, cupping his ear and leaning closer to you. Your lips settle into a firm line, teeth gritting.

“Not denial, but facts.” You place a hand against Jungkook’s shoulder, “I was with Jungkook when the footprint was made and I know he’s innocent.”

“A counteract argument!” Jin says in excitement, “Fascinating!”

You let out a groan, “Jungkook is innocent, Jin.”

“I am.” He hurriedly says, hoping it would do something to diminish the detective’s accusations. Jin’s eyes sink down, puzzlement crossing his features.

He keenly eyes you, voice no longer childish, “He’s going to be the prime suspect.”

“He’s innocent.” You press forward again, causing the detective to stare at you for a moment before letting out a long exhale.

“Prime suspect.” Jin announces again, pretending to write down on an imaginary clipboard. His voice morphs, spiking up in volume, “I won’t stop until I catch who it is! Even if it’s you!”

The door is yanked open and Jin struts out, closing it on his way. You let out a relieved sigh, pressing a hand against your temples.

Jungkook being a prime suspect means that Jin doesn’t have the power to turn him in and he’s given you some time to figure out things as well.

He hasn’t taken his suspicions away, but at least he’s given you some leeway.

Jungkook’s desperate eyes connect with yours and you know what you have to do.

Your boss is innocent, and you’re going to prove it.

A loud bell dings as the door is shoved open, a huff leaving your lips. The shop is close to being semi-busy, a couple of customers planted down in seats and facing elongated decorated mirrors. Save for a couple of heads that turn in your direction, your eyes rake around.

Your brows are furrowed, a crease forming in between them.

A flash of white whizzes by your sight, your hand instantly snapping out and grabbing onto their collar.

A scream leaves the man’s lips, his eyes wide and petrified. They lock immediately onto yours and within seconds he’s slipping away from your hold, trying to make a run for it.

His voice screeches as he runs around the salon with a pair of scissors, “The culprit is here! The culprit is here!”

The showcase sends his customers into a frenzy, voices spiking up into the mayhem and a handful staring at you in horror.

“Hey, Chatterbox!” You scoff, “Come back here!”

You chase after him as he wails, bumping back and forth into his clients with no regard. You eventually grab a hold of his shoulder, a squeal leaving his mouth.

“NO!!” He cries, “Spare me, please!”

He tussles around within your grasp, “Hoseok!”

Abruptly freezing, he stares at you from behind his giant glasses, “Y-Yes?”

“I need to talk to you.” You profess, noticing the way his scissors are still held up in defense, as if they possessed enough of an ability to scare you away.

The sound of shutter snaps your attention away, your head whipping around to see a particular lens pointed towards you. It’s pulled down, a man with keen cat-like eyes and a resting pout examining its contents.

“Picture of the culprit.” His deep voice hums, seemingly satisfied. You tug away the camera from his hold, still keeping a tight grasp on Hoseok before he flies away from you.

“For ARMY sake‒” You scowl, noticing the apparent ‘frightening’ angle of you in the picture. Shoving it back at him, you hiss, “Delete it now, Yoongi.”

His eyes narrow, clearly not enthusiastic with the suggestion. You glare right back at him, suddenly realizing why you don’t swing by Hoseok’s salon or his photography shop often.

With a sigh, Yoongi deletes it and you let go of Hoseok, crossing your arms.

You hold up a finger, “First off, I’m not the culprit, and neither is Jungkook. Let’s get that straight from the start.” Hoseok opens his mouth like he wants to interrupt, “I’ll take questions at the end.”

He closes his mouth, a ㅅ shape taking over. “Second off, I’m here because I want to know who the true culprit is.” You take a step forward, eyeing Hoseok, “And I think the local gossiper can give me the details I want.”

Hoseok’s eyes are wider than before, his hands fumbling around with his scissors. Although he doesn’t care to admit it, you know the village folk feel extremely comfortable around him, willing to spill out all their secrets and desires with no mind over the naive and tender boy’s head.

Even to the point of professing some oh so good reasoning about a particular headstone.

Yoongi tilts his head to the side, clutching onto his camera, “How do we know you’re not trying to cover up your own tracks from the crime?”

Hoseok’s irises sway from you to him, growing only larger in size. You shake your head with a sigh, aware of the latter’s protectiveness towards his childhood friend.

“Because the crime was committed during a power outage….while me and Jungkook were at the arcade…..”

The truth sounded a lot better in your head. You can see Yoongi’s gears turning, his gaze becoming more and more scrutinizing.

To your surprise, he suddenly clears his throat, taking a step back.

“Okay.”

“Okay?”

“What?” He raises a brow, “Do you want me not to trust you?”

“No.” You deadpan, “I just thought you would ask more questions.”

Yoongi shrugs, “You barely pay any attention to the headstone in the first place. Plus Jungkook isn’t the type to break something he’s been making wishes to since being a kid.”

You blink, astonished with the analysis. Yoongi turns to Hoseok, nodding his head as the latter hesitantly begins to speak up.

“T-There’s a rumour…” He whispers, causing the two of you to lean in, “I-I didn’t mean to spread it! I-I just thought it was interesting and my clients like to hear stories of the village while I-I’m cutting their hair‒”

“What is it, Hoseok?” Yoongi wonders as you hum.

His pupils oscillate on the ground, hands fumbling with his scissors.

“Treasure.” He heaves, glancing up at the two of you, “There’s a rumour of the headstone housing treasure.”

He tilts his head to the right.

The giant magnifying glass in his hand follows the direction, inflating the image of the remains from the headstone by tenfold.

Planting one of his hands on his hips, the other comes forth to stroke his invisible beard. His legs swing, about to turn back to head towards the arcade again.

“Find anything yet?”

A scream escapes him.

Jungkook stands before him, covering his ears as Jin places a hand against his racing heart.

“You frightened me!” Jin scolds, narrowing his eyes, “What are you doing here?!”

Jungkook frowns, “I’m not the culprit.”

“Sure, that’s what they all say!” Jin begins walking down the trail near the headstone as Jungkook closely follows behind.

“So….”

“What?”

“Did you find anything yet?” He questions hopefully, doe eyes twinkling at his elder. The man before him sighs, aiming his glass piece at the trail before him.

He suddenly crouches down, scrutinizing another footprint.

“I’m not telling you anything, Kook.”

“But why!” He practically whines, childishly clinging onto Jin’s arm, “Come on, you’ve known me since I was a kid. Does this look like the face of someone that would break the headstone?”

He gestures to himself as Jin stares, purposely widening his eyes and putting on a pout.

Jin smacks the back of his tool against his head, causing Jungkook to wince. “Stop getting cute with me.”

Jungkook’s eyes sway, “I-I’m not getting cute….”

“Uh-huh.” Jin reminisces, looking around the headstone carefully again. There’s a furrow between his brows as he picks up a chuck of the stone, bringing it up to examine.

“Find anything?”

The stone piece nearly slips from Jin’s fingers as Jungkook peers over his shoulder wide-eyed, appearing more like a naive child than the owner of an arcade.

“Will you stop doing that?!” Jin scolds, growing irritated by the moment with Jungkook’s interventions. The latter pouts, desperation leaking into his irises.

“Then tell me something.” At Jin’s withering gaze, Jungkook pulls out all sorts of cuteness he wouldn’t be caught doing in daylight, “Please.”

Jin rolls his eyes, sight landing right on top of the headstone.

“Blue Village..…”

It’s so incredibly faint, but Jungkook’s ears catch onto it right away.

“What?”

“Blue Village.” Jin says louder this time, his brow twitching. Clearing his throat, he lowers his voice again, “I think someone from Blue Village did it.”

Jungkook’s eyes are instantly enlarging, features contorting into a sudden epiphany.

“Now leave me alone!” Jin says, pushing him away, “I have mysteries to solve!”

Jungkook nods in an instant, a smile curving on his lips at the new piece of information.

It’s not long before you’re pacing towards the arcade, surprised to see Jungkook already there and buzzing with energy. His eyes light up with your presence, lips moving immediately.

“Treasure!”

“Blue Village!”

You stare at each other for a moment, confused with the notion. “Wait, Blue Village? What about them?”

“Jin says that someone from Blue Village might be responsible.” Jungkook explains, scrunching his brows together, “What do you mean by treasure?”

“Hoseok told me that there’s treasure underneath the headstone.” Your eyes sparkle, “That means someone who needs money probably broke it.”

Jungkook grimaces, “Shoot.”

“What?”

“I need money.” He honestly states. Your features twist up with the fact, acknowledging that your tidbit on the situation wouldn’t work well in his favour.

Shaking the thoughts away, you pursue more information, “Who do you think did it?”

Jungkook doesn’t respond to you, instead he stares outside the arcade’s glass exterior. Puzzled, you turn around to see what he’s staring at, only to see a young boy dressed in a yellow shirt and blue overalls walking by.

He appears to be within his own world, a dreamy smile curving up on his cheeks and a colourful lollipop in his hand. His eyes instantly connect with yours, crinkling up into half moons as he waves over to you and Jungkook.

You return his gesture with a smile, but Jungkook had a sneering look in his stare.

“I hate that guy.” He spits out, drawing out perplexment from you.

“What?” You spin around, pointing to the oblivious boy. “Leader Jimin?”

Jungkook hums and you shake your head, watching an angelic smile take over the boy’s features. “How could you possibly hate him?”

Suddenly, something sparks within his eyes. He turns to you, determination spiking his gaze.

“He’s the one that broke the headstone.”

You let out an exhale of dismay, “He didn’t.”

“He’s from Blue Village.” Jungkook says, as if all the clues finally made sense, “No one know where he came from or what his background is. It makes perfect sense!”

“You’re starting to make up conclusions like Jin now.”

“He could use the money!” Jungkook snaps his fingers, “I heard that he’s been living at the village doctor’s house and pays rent!”

At your look of disbelief, he smirks, “Rent gets expensive, Y/N. Don’t you know that?”

“He’s innocent.” You protest, shaking away his accusations, “He’s a happy person that just wandered into our village one day. He looks like he can’t even hurt a fly!”

At the moment, Jimin lets out a giggle, one of the village kids smiling brightly up at him.

Jungkook narrows his eyes, a hum leaving him.

“Wait, you’re right.”

“See‒?”

Jungkook deadpans, “He’s an idiot.”

“He is not an idiot.” You’re about to list more reasons as to why, but you notice Jimin walking away to ‘lead’ the children behind him, not realizing that one of them has stolen his lollipop and the rest are trying to fight the child for it.

He breaks out in a daze of giggles, happy to be their leader.

Your features scrunch up, “Okay, maybe he is, but‒”

Jungkook smirks like you have no option but to agree with him. Before you have the chance to prove him wrong, there’s a knock outside the arcade door.

A trail of goosebumps spike up on your arm, the look of annoyance on Jungkook’s features telling you enough of who's at the door.

However, this time there’s no intrigue, just a simple big white label possessively planting against the wall.

“I heard you’re not doing so well financially,” Richman V states, “This arcade should be mine soon.”

Jungkook’s jaw drops at the man’s blatant actions, orbs following him around as he continues to plaster his labels all over his precious arcade.

You beat him at the chance to intervene.

“This arcade isn’t yours.” You tug at his sleeve, only for Richman V to spin around and plant a label smack against your forehead.

“Everything I label, I possess.” He interjects, “This arcade will be mine, and so will everything that comes along with it.”

He passes by you and begins sticking on more labels. You huff, ripping off the label and smacking it onto a nearby wall. “I am not going to work for you.”

“Yes, you are.” He states, like it shouldn’t even be in question. “You work in this arcade. The arcade will belong to me. Your services will be mine.” A smile curves on his lips, “You should be happy. I’ll at least be a proficient boss.”

Your eye twitches and Jungkook looks like he wants to interject, but you scramble around, locating a pen.

Taking one of his possessive labels, you scratch out his name and scribble on Jungkook’s before sticking it back onto one of the machines.

“You can’t take this arcade because it doesn’t belong to you.” You huff, grasping his attention. “And I already have a great boss, thank you very much.”

Jungkook blinks wide-eyed as Richman V stares at you, clearly annoyed with your meddling. Turning around, he leans closer, looking at you eye to eye.

“I own every property in BTS Village, and this arcade won’t be an exception.”

Without another word, he leaves, a clutter of his labels all over the walls and machines. Your eyes are sharpened, lips twisted with suppressed fury as you pluck off the flimsy pieces of paper that demand its ownership.

“Who does that guy think he is?” You rant as Jungkook silently watches you, “I mean sure, label all your things. Your toothbrush, your comb, whatever.”

Kneeling down, you narrow your eyes at the one he’s managed to stick behind the counter before tearing it off, “But a place he doesn’t even own? Talk about really wanting to possess stuff.”

“Did you mean it…”

Jungkook’s voice is soft, near quiet.

You turn around, bafflement crossing you. “Well yeah, he seems like kind of a jerk and wanting to possess an arcade after all he has seems like a petty list of things a person would want to own‒”

Jungkook shakes his head, stopping your ramble. “Before that. About me being a great boss….”

You stare at him like a deer in headlights, clearly caught off guard. Freezing in place, you open and close your mouth a couple of times, no words managing to come out.

Instead, a pink hue dusts over your skin.

“Well, I...I-I did say that…” You attempt to begin, “And I...well‒”

“Fascinating.”

Your eyes snap up at the sound of a third voice, noticing Jin leaning behind the counter as he listens into your conversation. Jungkook immediately swivels around, placing a hand against his racing heart.

“Can you call or something the next time you show up?!’ He angrily retorts, only for Jin to completely ignore him and step forward.

He walks straight towards the shoe rack, plucking up the pair of slippers Jungkook wore to the headstone. He drops them with a hum, walking over to the counter again to flip through some paper sheets, something that has Jungkook scrambling forward.

“Why are you looking at my accounts?!”

“It all makes sense now.”

Jin finally speaks up, pointing an accusatory finger towards Jungkook, “YOU DID IT!”

“I’ve already told you that I’m not the culprit!”

“Really?!” Jin challenges, “We found your footprint. You’re the one in need of money and tried to get the treasure underneath the headstone.”

He suddenly glances around, like he was still collecting proof against Jungkook’s case.

His eyes land onto the battered mallet used for Jungkook’s whac-a-mole machine, raising it in the air.

“Aha!” He exclaims, “This is what you broke it with!”

“Actually he broke that mallet because he’s ridiculously competitive and was prepared to win at any cost.” You interject, arms crossed.

“Oh….”

Jungkook deadpans at Jin’s dwindling resolve, an impassive and unimpressed expression spreading over his features.

“You really don’t know what you’re doing, do you?”

“Of course I do!” Jin protests, grabbing a small book from his back pocket. He vigorously flips through the pages, eyes twinkling, “I told you about Blue Village being involved!”

Jungkook’s eyes widen, “Leader Jimin did it!”

You attempt to hush him down, but Jin cocks up a brow, baffled with the suggestion.

“What? That kid?” Jungkook nods, “Nah, he’s an angel. Wouldn’t hurt a fly.”

Offense is written all over Jungkook, “Then what am I?!”

“A greedy game owner!” Jin accuses, only for Jungkook to sigh.

“I’m innocent, Jin.” He desperately glances in your direction, “Just ask Y/N!”

“She’s probably plotting with you!!”

“Excuse me?” You scoff, about to give your two cents on the ridiculousness of the conversation until the sound of small ding resonates through the room.

A pair of two small feet come to a stop, wide eyes staring at the three individuals in front of him.

You recognize him immediately as the boy that came to your game room the day you had barren business.

“Oh, it’s you.”

Jungkook perks up, “The kid who Y/N paid for!”

Jin whips around, narrowing his eyes at Jungkook and prepares to write in his book. “Excoriating money from our employee’s now, are we?”

“I willingly paid for him.” You correct right away, aware that Jin seemed to be on Jungkook’s tail no matter what. Spinning around, you crouch down to view the boy, “What are you doing here?”

“I saw the headstone marked as a crime scene.” He speaks, peeking around with wide eyes. “I wanted to see the Detective.”

Jin immediately pushes forward, adjusting his hat and leaning down with his notebook.

“Do you know anything about how it was broken?”

The boy nods, “I was on my way to school when I saw two people walking to the headstone. One of them was dressed very fancy and the other one had blue hair.”

“Richman V and RM!” Jungkook exclaims, only for Jin to hush him down.

“It’s too early to draw conclusions!”

Jungkook scoffs, “So drawing conclusions about me without evidence wasn’t too early?!”

“Did he have bronze hair?” You immediately question, and the boy nods, “Was the other one wearing a box office uniform?”

He nods again, “They were talking to each other but not in a nice way. I think they were fighting.”

“They were fighting?” Jungkook wonders, staring at you in disbelief.

“Hold it!” Jin exclaims, moving towards the boy. He points towards you and Jungkook, expression keen, “Did you see these two near the headstone?”

He places a finger against his chin, a spark lighting up in his eyes, “I did!”

“AHA‒”

“But they were making a wish together when the headstone wasn’t broken.”

“….oh?” Jin whispers, his pen freezing in place. The boy smiles, gazing at you.

“I hope your wish came true.”

You return his smile, “Thanks for coming by, kid.”

He nods, waving at Jungkook and Jin before you open the door and let him rush home.

Silence reigns heavy in the arcade room.

Jin eventually clears his throat.

His voice is considerably quiet, nowhere near the loud and dramatic tone you were accustomed to hearing.

“It seems like I’ve made a mistake…”

“Seems like?!” Jungkook angrily shouts, but Jin coxes him right away.

“Mistakes can happen! Someone can look guilty and end up not being…”

Jungkook has a “are you serious?” expression and Jin cheekily smiles, before racing towards the door.

“Oh wow, would you look at the time?? I’ll catch up with you guys later!” The door is shutting close before you can even utter another word, your eyes rolling at the man's catastrophe.

This just in!

Famous Property Owner and Dealer Richman V and Box Office Employee RM caught for destroying one of the more treasured possessions of BTS Village!

Thanks to the testimony of one boy, more eyewitnesses were found and several pieces of evidence led to the duo facing charges. It is said that RM needed the money to attend an audition and had tried to negotiate with Richman V for help near the headstone. Richman V, who was facing the displeasure of not obtaining a particular arcade in the village, wanted to know about the mysterious treasure hidden deep beneath the stone. Sources suggests that two were baffled about the broken headstone and attempted to cover up the accident by‒

“Oh, would you just get to the good part already?!” Jungkook slams his fist against the counter, desperation leaking into his voice.

You let out a sigh, scrolling through the newspaper until you find the excerpt. Clearing your throat, you mimic your best anchor voice again.

Initially, Detective Jin from BTS Village had suspicions on a certain game room owner that goes by the name of Jeon Jungkook, but with further investigation done, it was found that he was at the crime scene prior to the incident and was deemed innocent.

“Well, it’s nice hearing someone say I’m innocent.” Jungkook remarks, leaning against his hand on his cheek.

The newspaper is yanked down, “I said you were innocent.”

“Of course you did!” He proclaims, “Why else would you want to turn your innocent boss in?”

“I can think of a couple of reasons.” You mumble underneath your breath, only for Jungkook to pout. “What?”

“I’m still broke as hell.” He shifts his attention to his account book on the counter, lazily flipping through the pages. “Business has been better, but I’m still not making enough money.”

You roll your eyes, aware that business truthfully has been better thanks to your combined efforts and that it would take time for some stable revenue to roll in, as long as Jungkook’s dramatics don’t manage to interfere.

“Maybe you should hire a different employee instead of me.” You sassily retort, “Let’s see what happens to business then.”

Jungkook narrows his eyes, “Why on earth would I do that?”

“Because you’re ‘losing’ money.” You exaggerate in the same tone he used.

“Nah, I’m never going to get rid of you.” He softly says, “You always have my back.”

For a moment, you just blink your eyes. Turning around, you’re expecting a cocky smirk on his lips or a teasing raise of his brows.

Instead, you’re met with sincere eyes and a genuine smile, something that nearly has the newspaper in your hands slipping from your hands.

You slowly open your mouth to respond.

“Why are the two of you having a staring contest?”

Both you and Jungkook whip around, watching Jin poke at one of the machines with a frown on his face.

Jungkook’s jaw drops down, “What are you doing here?!”

Jin looks at him taken aback, the anger in his voice prevalent. “What? Were you two having a moment or something?”

You avert your eyes as Jungkook’s brow twitches.

He shakes his head, a whine escaping him, “Why are you here, Jin?”

“Oh!” He pipes up, “Are you hiring at the moment by any chance?”

“What?”

Jin cheekily smiles, “So my reputation as a detective kind of went sour with this recent case, you know, with suspecting and falsely accusing someone innocent and‒ what are you doing?”

He’s being effortlessly lifted by Jungkook, before being planted right outside of the arcade.

Jungkook closes the door shut, sending him a friendly wave with a strained smile as Jin scoffs.

“Oh come on, JK!”

“Come back when I really am innocent!” He childishly laughs as Jin throws a fit of anger from the display.

Jungkook glances in your direction almost as if to gauge your reaction to his antics, but you simply smile and shake your head with a roll of your eyes.

Jungkook snaps his fingers.

“This entire place should have a makeover!” He springs up from his seat from his revelation, pacing around the room, “We can take out the bookcase and maybe add more machines, we could even paint the walls maybe like a royal blue, put some speakers here‒….”

You lounge on one of the chairs as you watch your boss continuing his ramble, eyes follow along with the speed of his legs as he practically pounces around the place.

It’s been a while since the ARMY headstone mystery has been resolved, and aside from helping Detective Jin with getting a job after Jungkook’s refusal of hiring another employee, you’ve come to terms with yourself.

You have feelings for your boss. It’s plain obvious.

The problem lies in the fact that you work with him, meaning that no matter what you do and say, he’s naturally inclined to believe that you’re simply doing him a favour as an employee.

A sigh leaves your lips as you lean back in your chair.

Jungkook whirls around, childlike excitement sparking in his large doe eyes, “Well?”

You abruptly blink, realizing that you hadn’t caught onto a single thing he said because you were too caught up in your own head.

Standing up, you pat his shoulder and walk over to the counter, “Let’s discuss this later.”

“What?” Jungkook watches your fading form, a crease forming between his brows, “A-Are you sure? You seem to be really out of it these days, Y/N.”

At the hint of concern in his voice, your eyes widen, “Uh, yeah!” You nervously laugh, “I seriously doubt we’ll figure it all out in one day.”

Jungkook pursues his lips, “Hm, that’s true.”

He smiles and you wipe away the sweat from your temples, a relieved exhale leaving you.

***

You have to confess to him.

You’ve been thinking about it all night long, and as soon as the sun rose this morning, you were determined to tell Jungkook how you felt about him. You’ve already come up with a bunch of ways to convince him that yes, you like him in case he dips into his notorious denial, and even were prepared for any spouts of panic that might burst out from your dynamic abruptly shifting.

There’s nothing that can surprise you now.

Your feet immediately slow down, mouth falling agape.

In front of you is the arcade, and at the same time, you wonder if you’ve even arrived at the right shop.

Gone are the large advertising and attention drawing signs, cardboard cutout replaced with navy blue and black speakers. The yellow and blue lights have been replaced with midnight black and white ones, soft music radiating out from the door.

You continue to stare at it in puzzlement.

The arcade you knew was loud and bold, noise drowning through into your ears and strobe lights nearly blinding you.

Cautiously, you open the front door, your surprise simply magnifying with every step you take.

The walls are coloured with a shade of dark blue, replacing the dull beige completely. The bookshelf has disappeared, replaced with new gaming machines instead of similar ones linked up in a row.

One of them consists of a brand new whac-a-mole machine, your eyes flickering over the colorful display and shining mallet.

“Y/N?!” A voice suddenly calls out, snapping you out of your awe-filled daze. Turning around, you don’t see your boss in sight.

“Jungkook?” You call back out, only for the sound of boxes shifting resonating from the back room.

“Just give me a minute!”

You hum, picking up the mallet with a smile as you walk closer to the door.

“What have you done to this place?”

“You like it?”

You inspect the instrument in your hand, “Yeah, it looks amazing….”

His laughter seeps through the door, “That’s great! I just thought the place needed something different, you know? Almost like a re-opening.”

The corner of your mouth lifts up, “From now on, Jeon’s arcade is a new experience for all!”

You snort at the slogan, placing the mallet back down on the counter. That’s when your eyes focus onto the small bottle on the counter, the words ‘hair dye’ causing them to enlarge with size.

As you grab onto it, the back door room opens and Jungkook emerges out, his blonde strands bright and damp with drops of water.

He beams at you, doe eyes crinkling and a giant smile breaking out onto his features.

“What do you think?” He eagerly asks, “Doesn’t it help with the new experience in here?”

The hair dye bottle slips from your hands, no coherent words forming from the tip of your tongue as your mouth drops wide open. Jungkook can only stare in confusion as pink rapidly scatters across your features and it’s in that one sole moment you realize.

No matter how hard you try, your boss always finds some way to surprise you.

if you're doing those characters then please give me more amazing takes on princess mute 🥺💕

OMG IM SO LATE ANSWERING THIS BUT HERE I FINALLY AM

Also omgg thank you SOSOSO much for asking me about Princess Mute?? THE LOVE OF MY LIFE??? You know me so well, vish!! I love and adore you so much!! Thank you for giving me the chance to blabber on about the woman I love!! ⁽⁽٩(๑˃̶͈̀ ᗨ ˂̶͈́)۶⁾⁾

ALSO! I’m gonna do my best to like- not spoil all my plans for whispers, haha

The rest is under the cut bc I just have a lot of FEELINGS~ about our resident zombie girl

❤⃛ヾ(๑❛ ▿ ◠๑ )

How I feel about this character

OH BOY OK I JUST??? LOVE HER??? A LOT???? I wasn’t expecting to get quite so immediately and intensely attached to her?? But from the second I heard about her in the legend I was just gone. Completely done for. I’m generally a sucker for mythology, and there’s just SO MUCH that’s fascinating about the tale behind the Princess Mute and the South Sea King?

Even though Princess Mute is so central to the myth, the South Sea King is deemed as the most important? I mean- duh it is his tomb, but Princess Mute is the catalyst? None of this would have happened without her? She’s main character material and yet she isn’t the main character of her own story?? She has practically no agency? It’s so? Fucking? Fascinating?? And there is so fucking much left unanswered? The myth says she turns into a goddamn monster?? Is this- figuratively? Or literally? Is she a monster for breaking gender norms and committing the ultimate taboo by killing the Emperor??? Like- holy FUCK? Like- LOOK at this pic from Ershu’s Expensive Powerpoint:

and a close-up for good measure:

(note the HORNS/HELMET?? the LIGHTNING STRIKE!!! 👀👀👀 how she’s dressed as a SOLDIER?? that SPEAR??? also she’s depicted as much bigger than the emperor!! which, of course, means she’s more important!!!!)

and, HELLO!! She’s called the PRINCESS MUTE. She is only known/named in association to someone else. Her name has been erased from history. It isn’t important to anyone. Which is so fucking ironic. She’s Princess Mute. Her voice has been stripped from her, just like her agency. This tale is the Mute Emperor’s and not her own. Her suffering means nothing to anyone. Her life means nothing other than for the Emperor to desire and the South Sea King to mourn over (and WOW!! ISN’T THIS JUST!! SO perfectly encapsulating Nanpai Sanshu’s female characters and their relevance to the story/male characters)

(so what is her goddamn name???? I mean, I know what I’ve named her, but sorry dudes. Again. I don’t wanna spoil too much :) )

also, WHY is the South Sea King covering her eyes when she’s sent off to sea in the origami boat?

What actually happens to her after this? The body we see of the South Sea King has long white hair so I assume he died pretty old? So why does she look so goddamn young?

And- the million dollar question here (WHICH I HAVE A LOT OF HEADCANONS FOR BUT I DON’T WANNA SPOIL WHISPERS): What happened to her after she killed the Emperor????

ALSO!! WHY IS SHE HOLDING A DINGLAN RULER WHEN SANSHU FINDS HER IN THAT FIRST EXPEDITION?? (internet says it’s a “special ruler used for making shrines, carving wood statues and making tablets of gods. Later used in measurement of architectural scale; measuring instrument for the netherworld, wishes best for tomb owner) did she design her own father’s tomb?? is there more to her becoming a leather figurine than filial loyalty/sacrifice??

Why does she have a tattoo?? I go a bit into this in my fic, but from my understanding it was unusual for people (women especially!) to have tattoos during this time! (this is just from my research! if I am wrong please correct me!)

For anyone who hasn’t read whispers, there were a a few tribes (minorities!) during this time who tattooed themselves (and to this day, they continue this tradition :) ). The Li were often attacked by invaders who assaulted the women and sold them as slaves. The women ended up tattooing their faces and bodies to make them less appealing, and it ended up becoming a tradition. When a girl came of age she’d get tattooed. Then we’ve got the Dai, who (from what I understand!) got tattoos of animals with characteristics they wished to embody, such as to show their virility and strength! So they’d tattoo tigers and dragons, etc.

So why does Princess Mute have one? Who gave it to her? WHAT ACTUALLY IS IT!!!!!! (eternal frustration that we never see a clear shot of the whole thing!!) It kinda looks like a heavily stylized fish? With some waves. But I am unsure! But it would make sense, considering the ongoing theme of snakes and fish throughout dmbj.

Also, her scars seem very strange. Like- if someone skinned her (YIKES!) then- her scars don’t really seem like they’re a result of skinning (double yikes!!). You’d think that for a woman who was the daughter of the King, they’d take more care to preserve her face?? So why does it seem like someone has done their utter best to ruin it? Did the Emperor do it himself? Did her father? Or did someone else do it?? Did she do it herself????

Also, I just wanna cut the bullshit with the creepy hand clam thing. A hand clam isn’t gonna wrap their fingers around Wu Xie’s hand to stop him from blowing himself up. Like. I get that it’s the censorship. I get it. But- you can’t tell me it wasn’t actually the Princess Mute who saved him. I just?? This moment is so powerful? It literally knocked the breath from my chest.

Princess Mute’s story is just so fascinating and tragic and I am just a mess over how she isn’t in control of her own story? She never is. Except for when she kills the Emperor. (AND when she saves Wu Xie) And I think that’s fucking telling.

Of course, it felt like they had more of a storyline planned for her which never happened, but I’ll get more into that later.

Basically, I just have SO MANY QUESTIONS!!!

It’s like- I dunno. Seeing a gorgeous woman flip an obnoxious man over her shoulder and slam him to the ground without breaking a sweat and watching her walk away with stars in your eyes. You barely know anything about her but you’re already half in love and you just want to know more.

I’m super Gay for her, if you couldn’t already tell.

Honestly, she just perfectly represents all the female characters and their treatment in dmbj with all the extra PIZAZZ of the mysterious supernatural/mythological elements. She just makes me go feral and I adore her with my entire heart.

All the people I ship romantically with this character

NUMBER ONE I SHIP HER WITH MY CUTE AND PERFECT GF XIAO BAI!!!!!!!!

They are my two favourite (okay and my wife Su Nan!) female characters in dmbj. I think their stories parallel each other pretty beautifully? They’re both women in a powerful position, though with limited agency. They both defy gender norms and accomplish things (I’m counting killing the Emperor as Accomplishing Something) in a very male-dominated world. And- okay. I know the Princess Mute is technically dead. But she also?? is someone still doing stuff?? and pushing along the storyline?? as a zombie?? So I’m just gonna say that both of them aren’t truly killed off for the Man Pain like all the other female dmbj characters (except for Xiu Xiu, and I guess Chuchu but ChuChu’s situation is kinda....Iffy. At best.)

Also both of them are linked pretty heavily with Wu Xie? They both have an interesting relationship with him. And Princess Mute leads Wu Xie to Xiao Bai!!!

And okay this is spoiling a bit of whispers, BUT!!! Warehouse 11 was built atop the South Sea King’s temple. Isn’t that fucking important??? I stand by my headcanon that Xiao Bai is a Warehouse kid (descended from the Founders) and so she grew up there. And like- ignoring censorship bc I can AND because Reboot leaves a lot of supernatural stuff up in the air anyway- wouldn’t growing up atop an insanely powerful temple do something to you? Wouldn’t it affect you in some way?? There’s just!!! SO much potential between Princess Mute and Xiao Bai!! Plus!! I think it’d be great for Xiao Bai to form a relationship with another woman. She needs some female solidarity in her life.

And- well. I just ship Princess Mute with all the dmbj women, really. Princess Mute has two hands, why can she use them both?? I’ve got a couple Princess Mute modern au’s going and in one of them she just- sweeps A’Ning and Su Nan off their feet :)

I really can’t ship Princess Mute with any male characters, I think. There’s just- so much underlying trauma surrounding her agency and how she’s been used by the men in her life. Also, I like wlw & mlm solidarity. Let Princess Mute and Wu Xie wallow over their Stupid Crushes. Or Princess Mute & Xiao Ge. I’m not picky.

My non-romantic OTP for this character

Purely bc of my own au, I am very much invested in Princess Mute & Li Cu (& spirit snake). As I mentioned before, there’s a running theme of loss of agency in their own lives and suffering the consequences of others’ actions. Plus, there’s a lot of supernatural happenings surrounding the both of them. Why wouldn’t they find a connection?

And, obviously, I adore Princess Mute & Wu Xie. Princess Mute saved Wu Xie and then Wu Xie was promptly obsessed (can’t say I blame him). They had such an interesting relationship in Reboot that was just- so fucking tragically dropped.

My unpopular opinion about this character

SHE SHOULD BE MORE POPULAR!!!!!!!!!! She is so goddamn fascinating and gorgeous and I just!! Want!! Everyone to adore her as much as I do!!!!!!!! At least I feel a bit accomplished for swinging some readers over to her side in whispers!! That’s something!!!

I’ve got like- a million au ideas with her. I’m going to be the creator of the content I wish to read!!!!!

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

I WISH SHE COULD HAVE GOTTEN A SATISFACTORILY COMPLETED STORYLINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She just gets completely dropped after she leads Wu Xie to Warehouse 11. So once more, she is a plot device and not. And actual. Person. Her importance is tied irrevocably to the male leads. Her agency is not her own. Wu Xie cares so much about her, and okay, he’s trying to figure out a mystery and we all know how he gets when he’s trying to puzzle out a mystery-- but you can’t tell me he just- stops caring after he encounters Warehouse 11??? What happens to her after that?? Does she rot away in a box in Wushanju?? Does Ershu take her back?? I’m just?? WHAT????

I want to know her side of the story and not what everyone else has said. I want her to actually properly communicate with Wu Xie. I want her saving the day again and I want her being fucking badass and I want her and Xiao Ge being soft together and I want her and Xiao Bai to bond fall in love and I want everyone to just- fall in love with her? And care about her? And I want to to find herself caring about these fucking idiots too???? Can you imagine her and Liu Sang bonding over shitty fathers and lack of agency and Trauma?? Can you imagine Princess Mute getting her life back and the freckles returning to her slowly darkening skin and her being silly with Hei-ye bc he keeps shoving increasingly ridiculous sunglasses at her. And can you imagine her trying on jeans for the first time and picking out a cute bomber jacket and shoving a baseball cap on her head and dipping her feet back in the sea and befriending shibie bc she’s just?? that?? cool?? while Iron Triangle is off on the side fretting like she isn’t befriending some very dangerous creatures but it’s okay bc she’s a dangerous creature too and she understands fear and desire and hunger.

I want her returning to Thunder City. I want her getting closure. I want her story to get closure. Period.

And I know it didn’t happen bc censorship and Nanpai Sanshu and just- a host of Other Things. But I want it, and she deserves it.

AAAHH VISH!!!! Thank you so much for letting me yell about Princess Mute!! Sorry I couldn’t go more in depth with headcanons but!! Like I said, I don’t want to completely spoil you for whispers, so I’ll keep those close to my chest for now

٩(*ゝڡゝ๑)۶♥

Rooster Teeth Glassdoor Crunch/Overtime Accusations #AnimatorsFirst

EDIT: Georden Whitman, former creator of Nomad of Nowhere, has come out and publicly confirmed the Glassdoor reviews are true.

Original story:

Rooster Teeth’s Glassdoor reviews have recently made serious allegations against the company, with people who work for the company claiming that the company engages in practices involving heavy crunch periods, a resistance to providing benefits, eighty hour work weeks, a management team trying to justify crunch and unpaid overtime that, according to some, led to as much as a third of RWBY and gen;LOCK’s recent seasons being made effectively for free.

Below are screencaps and exact quotes from the pages. Any emphasis made is done by me.

From May 23rd this year, as written by an employee with three years experience at RT:

Cons

Program scheduling department has no idea how to time budget for animation, has resulted in unnecessary, preventable crunch Company takes on projects that are too big for it to manage effectively Not the highest pay compared to Anim Guild standards Open office space, gets noisy

Advice to Management

Management has been using a weird method to try and deescalate hard feelings about crunch. They’re acting like counselors who are “there to talk” and to try and find “coping mechanisms” to deal with crunch. This is a terrible idea considering that none of them are trained counselors as far as I’m aware, but more-so, they’re obviously going to be biased in favor of what they want from us. It makes me want to communicate with them even less. This past review, my manager criticized me for having “negative energy” during a terrible crunch period where we were working over 80 hrs s week, and told me I should “look for the silver lining” which is just bad advice. Advice to management is to stop pretending you know anything about mental health and also be less passive - fight harder for your team.

From May 13th, an employee with a year’s experience at Rooster Teeth:

Cons

The management is terrible. Artists are lead on with the promises of "full time employment and benefits" dangled in front of them without ever being addressed and ultimately are never given, there is no paid overtime, artists had to fight for their right to time off between productions, and good luck getting any form of benefits despite them being plastered on the wall.

Advice to Management

You're not a group of guys playing halo in your apartment anymore. Please run your business and look at what's happened to it.

From June 11th this year, from an employee who has been working at the company for five years:

Cons

- Extremely poor management (Some of it is negligence, some of it is just accidental from the sheer amount of work. Upper management is also extreme bro/friends club.) - Insanely high expectations (animate a 10-14 min episode in 2 weeks) - Very low compensation (I've worked here for years and make entry pay. Some people have gone MULTIPLE years with no raise) - No overtime pay (Every season of RWBY and GL gets about 1/3 or less made for 'free' because no one gets paid over time and it's not uncommon to work hundreds of hours of overtime) - Toxic work environment (there are a lot of cliques, complaining and even making fun of other people and depts here. It never gets punished so it always happens. Not professional) - You know something is going right when after many complaints HR reminds everyone you have "unlimited" mental health doctor appointments... I could honestly go on and on like an emo on Myspace in 2007 but I'll reign it in. I'll leave it at this since I've seen many fans read these and be skeptical. It's not great. You can deny it but there is a lot of evidence if you just accept it. And the reason you work here is cus you get stuck and are promised "It'll get better". The work is low quality (hard to get jobs elsewhere), pay is low (can't save money) and life/work balance is a joke. We have a bit of balance now but it's only for a couple months out of the year when production isn't in full swing. Then it's back in the meat grinder.

Advice to Management

You NEED to listen to the workers and make hard decisions and actually fight for better conditions. It's been far far too long of "it'll get better" or "we know what to do next year". This isn't sustainable and I think we all know it. But someone has to be the guy to say "no" when things aren't good enough. If you don’t say no, hundreds of people suffer. Please.

From May 18th:

Cons

Crunch has gotten to an unacceptable level. Productions have been completed with over half of total hours unpaid overtime, especially impacting the comp and editing department. Management cares more about their ego than the quality of the work they put out— letting the crunch caused by their irresponsible decisions fall solely on the shoulders of the artists while they enjoy a forty hour work week. Pay is laughable compared with the amount of mandated, unpaid hours of labor. No career advancement, and contract workers are given empty promises of full time employment before being shown the door once production is done.

Advice to Management

Stop saying the crunch issue is “getting better” or that you’re “working on it”, and start actually owning up to your mistakes.

From May 19th:

Cons

-A lot of employees brought on, if not all, before the last development cycle were promised permanent positions after a 90 day trial period. As those dates approached those artists saw no change, asking their leads what was going on. The guidance from higher ups was vague at best, and some felt like they had been forced to lie to employees during the interview process. - A lot of processes went over-scope due to poor planning. -Lack of actual production experience in the management side of things is no longer something that can be glossed over as the company tries to take on more industry vetted employees. -Crunch is extreme and overtime is not compensated for, nor is that time given back in any fair amount.

Advice to Management

-Clear and concise communication -Re-structure your upper level management

From May 12th:

Cons

Crunch here is out of control. No Paid OT. Expect to work A LOT for free. 70-80 hour work weeks. Mandatory 10-12 hour work days sometimes with no days off. Management is more interested in telling you what you want the hear as opposed to the truth.

Advice to Management

Fix the crunch issue and stop saying 'we're working on it'.... because you're not. Layoffs are certain. Will layoff bad employees and good employees in the same breath, completely eliminating any reason to work as hard as you're required to do. Fix your transparency issue and stop overworking your employees otherwise your reputation will severely suffer.

From April 5th:

Cons

-No paid overtime. -Crunch is a major problem in the animation department due to unrealistic deadlines, poor planning, and indecisiveness. (Mandatory 10 to 12 hour days for multiple months are common.) -Stress levels are often very high due to harsh deadlines -Some of the producers tend to lie. -Promotions are used as a morale booster, not actual career advancement. -Hardly any time for Professional Development -Professionalism can be a bit scarce (for example people would draw penises on the boards throughout the studio)

Advice to Management

-Management needs to seriously figure out how to deal with the crunch issue. A question was asked at an all hands meeting: "How are you going to handle crunch this year?" Instead of giving a clear answer, the head of the RT animation department completely dodged the question. If you don't know how you are going to tackle a problem, try saying, "I don't know. I will get back with you ASAP." Then actually pursue a solution to the problem. Dodging questions makes you look shady and untrustworthy. -Improve production plans and make sure you have enough resources to complete your projects. If you are going to work on two shows at the same time, then you need to double ALL of your teams along the pipeline, not just one. If you can barely get one project done with your current resources, you certainly cannot finish two. If you can't get the resources needed to complete the projects, then it's probably best to keep them small or to simply not do them at all. Pushing your teams beyond the breaking point is not the wisest decision. If you continue with your overambitious ways, it will backfire in the long run. Telltale Games' closure and Bioware's Anthem debacle are examples of what's to come if you do not improve your production practices and get crunch under control. -Get more training on how to manage people. There are plenty of programs out there that can help management understand how to work with various types of personalities. There were some situations where I noticed that some leads and producers simply did not know how to talk to a person when there was a problem. Despite all of the criticism I just wrote, I feel the majority of who work at Rooster Teeth Productions are decent people. However, the management is just terrible. Put some of that ambition you have into fixing your problems internally instead of putting it into meeting those unrealistic deadlines.

From March 25th:

Cons

- Massive amounts of unpaid overtime. All while touting the importance to the company of a life/work balance. They promise to give you the time back, but it will be impossible to take. - Management is just a joke. They can’t schedule or stay on track to save their lives. Total amateur hour. - Zero followthrough on promises made. How about a pizza party? - Pay much lower than standard. Don’t expect real raises. Promotions with increased responsibilities don’t come with comparable pay bumps. - Most promises of advancement and opportunities are hollow wishful thinking. - Almost zero followthrough with meaningful investment in employee education. You can access a Udemy account and that’s about it. - Management will blame the artists instead of taking responsibility and will even through people under the bus to cover themselves. - Internet celebs are more valuable than artists. - Their awards are called “cockbite of the month/year” and it’s what they call their employees. You may not want to be called that but that’s too bad. It’s their culture. A few guys draw penises everywhere to be funny. - Not very much diversity in management. Feels like you need to be a straight white male to be appreciated.

Advice to Management

Hire some actual seasoned industry professionals to upper management in Animation. And demonstrate there are some consequences for them, instead of taking it out on employees.

From April 11th:

Cons

-Overtime, and hours will cause any person to slowly become something they don't like. -Management is typically made up of "talent" and treats other employees poorly, not to mention 0 years of previous managerial experience. -Management also blames other employees for the problems they create, and don't show actual leadership. -Echo chambers within management. -Stress levels incredibly high -Lack of professionalism

Advice to Management

-Get rid of "talent" in managerial roles, it's clear they're costing the company serious problems and money. The ones who end up being hurt are the employees who knew and constantly warned about problems ahead of time that were ignored. If the company stays the same a huge incident is bound to follow. -Try to respect creatives that aren't "talent" within the company as well. It's clear management doesn't and goes against the entirety of the company's "core values." those who have had previous industry experience should be listened to and considered instead of being shrugged off and given responses like "Well that's just how we do things." -Collaboration doesnt seem to exist for a majority of managment here. If this one massive change happens the company could really grow far and do much more than create crude content with a lack of care/heart for the final product. -If people are able to sleep and have a normal schedule more thoughtful input will also happen, and your content can only get better. -A multitude of people and lives have been hurt from management at this company, from in house employees being mentally abused to freelancers that are ghosted. So many immature and poor practices have taken place within the animation department I'm amazed a lawsuit has yet to happen. -Management should be leaders not bosses.

It’s almost darkly funny that most of the positives are just “They give you free food on Mondays and the people are nice.”

But these are all from just the last year alone. Most reviews from before the start of 2019 don’t speak of crunch barring one from April 2018, one from March 2018 and one from June. This is a problem that has been affecting Rooster Teeth for at least an entire year, and since the start of the new year, the problem has magnified tenfold. Most reviews mention that the heads of departments are aware of the crunch and unpaid overtime but refuse to do anything about it beyond offering platitudes or dodging the question on what the company is going to actually do to fix the crunch problem.

Crunch is a problem plaguing many companies, especially in the western hemisphere. In gaming development there’s a story nearly every month about what apathetic upper management think they can get away with by forcing employees to spend dozens of hours every week slaving away on their product. I hoped that Rooster Teeth would not be one of these companies, but I am saddened to see that they were not.

Crunch’s negative effects on mental and physical health have been well documented, alongside the basic fact that crunch isn’t worth it and doesn’t work. Employees forced to crunch are unable to work as well as employees who are well rested and have time to go home to their families.

To anyone working these impossible crunch hours at Rooster Teeth right now, I hope your suffering ends soon, that eventually basic human empathy wins out and hours are lessened while you receive your just rewards for your work.

For @roosterteeth? This is appalling and a slap in the face to the fanbase you conned into thinking that you were a company that cared for everyone within as a huge family. Your entire management team should be ashamed of the environment you signed off on. No profit margin is worth the suffering you have subjected your crew to. Shame on you.

As a fan of RWBY, it disgusts me that a product I enjoy was made through blood, sweat and tears. And as a fan of RWBY, I wish to make a public call to the fanbase, be it on Tumblr, Reddit, Twitter or Youtube. I want to make a public statement to Rooster Teeth that we are willing to wait longer for new shows if it means that they are made ethically. I can’t in good conscience support a product if it was made by putting the workers through hell. Maybe I can’t change anything on my own, maybe ultimately we’ll just be ignored, but I refuse to stand by and stay silent on the matter, maybe even get Rooster Teeth to make changes in their workflow (I won’t say “I hope they respond” because they seem to respond in-house to complaints about crunch without ever actually changing anything)

I encourage you to share this around as much as you can. Share the accounts of the Glassdoor reviews as far and as wide as you can. We love and enjoy media, we love the people who make it- the animators, editors, writers and voice actors, and we as a community want them to not have to resort to RT’s seemingly unlimited mental health coverage or “find a coping mechanism to deal with crunch.” As much as it pains me to admit, I’d rather see RWBY die instead of seeing continue to be made on the back of crunch.

Thank you for reading. Again, I encourage you to share this around as much as you can. Let your voice be heard if you stand against this.

Problematic Parental Pow-Wow

Summary: Adam and Belle want to talk with their Ben’s new girlfriend alone. So naturally, Mal enlists Evie’s help to assist her in what will most assuredly be a horribly awkward situation. Some Bal, slight Core Four feels, and mostly Mal and Evie friendship feels.

Mal stormed into her and Evie’s dorm, groaning deeply. Evie looked up from her position reading a book on the bed as Mal hurried over to her. Evie just stayed silent, watching the girl as Mal flopped down beside Evie face-first.

Mal groaned again as she closed her eyes, burying her face in the mattress. Before she knew it, Evie’s fingers were combing through her hair gently, and she felt Evie’s presence much closer than it was just a moment ago.

Currently, Mal was having a horrible, no good, very bad day. And it was all thanks to Belle and Adam. Since Ben and Mal had begun to start dating, they wanted to have an opportunity to talk with Mal about her and her relationship with Ben.

So, as a result, Mal was scared, irritated, and in an overall very nervous mood.

They were quiet for a long time before Evie spoke up finally.

“What happened?” Evie questioned, and Mal just grumbled something that even Mal herself didn’t expect to make sense. Mal could hear Evie’s slight sigh.

“Can I possibly hear that in English?” Evie asked patiently, and Mal turned her face to the side, moving her face so that her nose was now crunched against the side of Evie’s leg.

“It’s horrible,” Mal told her, and Evie’s fingers stroked the skin along the side of Mal’s head before they retreated back into Mal’s hair.

“What’s horrible?”

“Beast-Man and Ring-My-Bell want to see me,” Mal informed Evie, and Evie snorted at Mal’s names. Of course, they weren’t new. Mal had been referring to Ben’s parents that way since they moved to Auradon. It was definitely not something she said in front of Ben, but when it was just her and one of the Core Four, she let loose.

“Any idea why?” Evie questioned, and Mal squirmed closer to Evie, writhing about until her head was on Evie’s lap and she was looking up into Evie’s face upside-down. Evie’s eyebrow was raised, and the smallest hint of a smile was pulling at the corners of her lips.

“They’ve invited me to a grilling session at this restaurant,” Mal started, and Evie nodded easily as she considered the words.

“An appropriate place to do it,” Evie acknowledged, and Mal allowed herself a laugh.

“Yeah, tell me about it. But they want to find out if I’m worthy to date Ben, E!” Mal proclaimed, exposing the ultimate issue that she was experiencing with this entire ordeal. Evie’s smile disappeared as her warm, loving brown eyes locked with Mal’s green ones.

“Did they say it like that?” Evie questioned worriedly, all hints of joking gone, and Mal shook her head with a sigh, enjoying the way Evie was stroking her head.

“No, but that was the implication. Y’know, since they wanted to talk to me alone,” Mal emphasized the last word, and Evie just smiled lovingly at Mal as her eyes glowed with adoration.

“Of course you’re worthy to date Ben, M. He’s the one that’s not worthy to date you,” Evie told Mal cutely with a wink but also with plenty of seriousness in the undertones of her voice.

“I know that, but they don’t seem to see things that way,” Mal expressed, and Evie just smiled gently.

“Especially Beast-Man. That dude’s like the worst! I don’t think he fully transformed from Beast mode or something because he’s a serious hard nose,” Mal complained and Evie laughed at the girl.

“I don’t think he’s quite that bad…”

“Oh, Beast-Man’s terrible! He’s big like a beast, ugly like a beast, mean like a beast, and he’s even hairy like a beast, which is seriously gross, by the way,” Mal insulted, and Evie couldn’t help but crack up laughing at Mal’s description.

“Maybe so, but please remember not to call him Beast-Man when you go, okay?” Evie instructed with only a hint of worry in her voice.

“Oh, please, E. I’ll be fine. Although, I slipped up and almost called him that in front of Ben the other day, which would’ve been a bit bad,” Mal admitted, and Evie rolled her eyes at the girl.

“In front of Ben’s a bit bad, but in front of Beast himself would be a nightmare,” Evie expressed, and Mal shrugged noncommittally, closing her eyes as she enjoyed Evie’s hand stroking her head.

“So, what are you going to do?” Evie asked after a moment, and Mal

“Well,” Mal held out the “l” in the word as she studied Evie carefully. Evie furrowed her brow, tilting her head as she looked at Mal inquisitively.

“I was thinking that maybe you could come with me,” Mal told Evie, and Evie shook her head sympathetically.

“Mal, I can’t possibly go with you. That’d be weird.”

“It wouldn’t! You’re my best friend and my family, so it wouldn’t be weird at all!” Mal assured her, grabbing Evie’s wrist in her hand gently as she stopped Evie’s hand from moving. Evie huffed fondly.

“I know that, silly, but I meant weird because they want to talk to you alone,” Evie informed her, and Mal groaned.

“But I need you, E… I don’t have a clue what to say. I won’t have a clue what to say. And you’re so good at this stuff!” Mal whined a bit, squeezing Evie’s wrist affectionately. Evie pursed her lips in thought as she considered Mal’s plight.

After several long moments, Evie suddenly looked as if she had a lightbulb moment. Mal gazed at her hopefully, knowing her best friend would be able to help.

“I think I’ve got an idea…”

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

It was the next day, and Mal was currently leaning against the wall of the outside part of the restaurant as she waited on Evie to tell her it was alright to come in. Mal was just trying to keep herself together, and she was sort of panicking at this moment.

“Hey, I’m in position, and you’re good to go,” Evie spoke into Mal’s ear, and Mal jumped a little bit as she communicated through the earpiece. Mal brought her hand up to the technology, adjusting it a bit as she listened to Evie.

Evie’s idea had involved getting Carlos to lend them two earpieces so they could communicate with one another. That way, Evie could tell Mal everything that she needed to say without Belle and Adam being any the wiser to it.

“Alright… Are you sure we couldn’t just not go and say we did?” Mal questioned hopefully and Evie huffed in affectionate exasperation.

“M, you’ll be fine. I promise. I’m here for you every step of the way.”

“Are you sure?”

“C’mon, M. Do you know me at all?” Evie questioned playfully, and Mal chuckled a bit as she headed into the restaurant. She immediately spotted the hulking form of Adam and the slightest hint of yellow on the other side of him that easily showed her that Belle was right there with him.

“Wish me luck,” Mal spoke lowly as she shut the door behind her. She swiftly caught sight of Evie sitting in a booth across from the two parents. To her happiness, Evie was looking at her with a loving smile.

“You won’t need luck. You’ve got me in your ear,” Evie assured her warmly, and Mal nodded slightly, swallowing hard as she tried to gather every bit of confidence that she possessed.

She then walked over to the couple.

As soon as she was nearby, Adam seemed to catch sight of her and he visibly hardened as he looked at her, forcing something that was more like a grimace than anything onto his face. Belle leaned around him and smiled at Mal.

“Hello, Mal!” Belle welcomed her, and Mal forced a smile.

“Hi,” Mal awkwardly greeted the two there before her, and waving at them somewhat stiffly.

She knew she had just got there, but she almost wanted to make some excuse like she had to go to the bathroom, and that’d be when she just subtly escaped from the place.

But Mal knew she had to do this. At least for the temporary, she knew she wanted to date Ben, despite the fact that she hadn’t known him for very long. And this was one of the steps that it was going to take to get to being able to date him.

But it was truly one of the most awkward situations that she had ever been in.

“I couldn’t hear anything they just said, M. But don’t worry, I’m really good at lip-reading,” Evie’s voice came over the earpiece, and Mal sighed deeply, mentally slapping her forehead as she questioned how good Evie actually was at the skill.

“Why don’t you sit down?” Belle offered, and Mal nodded, following the instructions quickly as she sat down in the chair across from Ben’s parents. Mal sat down, and she could hear Evie’s gentle, quiet humming in her ear. Mal almost wanted to smile, feeling some of her fear dissipate at the calming sound of Evie’s naturally deeper voice. Evie must have been able to sense Mal’s fear.

“So, how do you do?” Belle asked, ever the peaceable sort, and Mal nodded easily, about to answer the one thing in this conversation that she was one hundred percent sure that she would actually be able to answer.

“Did she just say how do you poo?! That’s disturbing and rude!” Evie questioned in surprise, and Mal almost snorted, knowing that definitely wasn’t what Belle had said. Evie was obviously not good at lip-reading in the least.

“I’m doing well,” Mal replied to her somewhat stiffly, trying to keep her nervous laughter inside since she knew that likely wouldn’t look good.

“Ask them how they are,” Evie told her, obviously picking up on the real question that had been asked.

“How are you guys?” Mal questioned, and Belle seemed pleasantly surprised by the question.

“Oh, well, we’re doing quite fine,” Belle replied with a smile, and Mal grinned a bit in reply as an awkward pause fell upon them.

For a moment, they just sat there in silence, the entire meeting not going as swimmingly as they could’ve hoped. And they had only gotten through less than five minutes of the ordeal.

“Alright, enough small talk. Let’s discuss the important things,” Adam interrupted, and looked at Belle, cuing her to ask the first question. Belle sighed deeply, seeming as if she’d honestly rather do anything else than begin what would likely be a serious grilling.

“So, Mal, how do you feel about our son?” Belle questioned after a moment, offering that stiff yet kind smile that somehow reminded Mal of Ben. Ben was just a bit looser than his mother. Of course, that was not saying much considering how painfully proper the entire royal family was.

“Um… How do I feel about your son? Well,” Mal started, waiting on Evie to tell her what to say.

“Tell them I like it, but he’s going to need to make it a little cheaper,” Evie spoke, her voice a little distant, but Mal copied her words perfectly.

“I like it, but he’s going to need to make it a little cheaper,” Mal spoke, but froze as she realized precisely what she repeated. Both Adam and Belle gaped at her in horror.

“Don’t you mean him?” Belle started, and Adam lowered his glasses, his mouth agape.

“Cheaper?” he questioned. Mal’s eyes widened, and she happened to realize that she had a menu there before her. She grabbed it quickly and saw a section of it called “Chef’s Specials.”

“Oh, no, I meant the Chef’s specials here. They want a ridiculous amount for some spaghetti that I could probably make at home,” Mal expressed, laughing a bit as she tried to cover her mistake. They seemed immediately less weirded out, but they were still a little on-guard if their expression were anything to go by.

“So, what are they saying? Or can you talk right now?” Evie questioned, and Mal held the menu up, hiding her face behind it as she pretended to read the options before her. She immediately began telling her tale to her sister.

“I just said that I like it--- not even the proper pronoun ‘him’---”

“Ooh, look who’s been paying attention in ELA,” Evie spoke, sounding very pleased indeed, and Mal rolled her eyes as she continued explaining her predicament.

“And then I said he’s going to have to make it a little cheaper!” Mal told Evie, and Evie gasped in horror.

“Oh, my gosh, that’s terrible! Why would you say that?!”

“Because you said it!”

“Oh… I was talking about the spaghetti on the Chef’s specials menu!” Evie told her, and Mal rolled her eyes, unable to help feeling some fondness in the midst of her intense irritation. It was sometimes purely uncanny just how similarly her and Evie occasionally thought.

“So?” Belle asked after a few moments, and Mal looked up from behind her convenient hiding place, coming back into focus as she paid attention to the two before her.

“Huh?”

“How do you feel about our son?” Adam asked, pressing the question as he gazed at Mal. There was not a single hint of mercifulness in his features and seemed just as intimidating, stoic, and frightening as usual.

There was a point in time that Mal would have easily been ready to punch him in the face for even remotely looking at her that way. But that was the Isle version of Mal. Now that they were all in Auradon, Mal had to watch herself carefully and make sure she didn’t screw things up and send her most treasured people back to the hole that they had finally managed to emerge from.

“Oh, yes! How do I feel about your son? Well, he’s,” Mal trailed off, pretending that she was off in thought and trying to think of how to describe it when she was really cluing Evie in on the question. She mentally begged Evie to hurry up with the right words to say because Mal truthfully felt as if she were quite close to the two just quitting the meeting altogether.

“Tell them that you love him,” Evie instructed, and Mal’s eyes almost went wide before she gained greater control over herself. Under her breath, she made a negating noise.

“Tell them, M,” Evie commanded somewhat firmly from the earpiece.

“Uh-uh,” Mal lowly expressed as she tried to look deep in thought to disguise the fact that she was actually secretly communicating with Evie.

“Mal, butter them up! It’s the best way to go!” Evie informed her, and Mal held back the impending groan as she shaped up, offering a wide and completely fake smile as she finally met the pair’s eyes again.

“I really like---”

“Love!” Evie corrected.

“Love your son!” Mal somewhat too breezily expressed, and she could hear Evie’s groan.

“With more feeling!” Evie instructed.

“I really do love your son,” Mal added to her previous statement, and remarkably, they weren’t looking at her like she was nuts and were rather looking at her curiously, obviously wondering what she’d say next.

“You’re certainly not going to win any Oscars any time soon,” Evie muttered to herself, and Mal growled under her breath as she listened to Evie. However, she didn’t have time to dwell on Evie’s subtle sass.

“Your son… He’s,” Mal started, sincerely hoping that Evie would catch onto the need for words. Evie immediately caught onto Mal’s cue, and Evie started.

“Okay, M, his smile’s like a warm summer’s day!”

“His smile’s like a warm summer’s day…”

“And his heart has the greatest of glows!” Evie added, her mouth sounding just the slightest bit full before she made a muffled spitting sound.

“His heart has the greatest of glows,” Mal continued, making a mental note to tease Evie about her ridiculously large amount of silly meaningless prose.

“And, man, is that some hot sauce!” Evie suddenly proclaimed before gulping what sounded like water very quickly.

“And, man, is that some hot sauce,” Mal mindlessly repeated before her eyes widened, realizing precisely the horrible implications of that statement. Adam was gaping at her, those hardened eyes completely shocked at her words, and Belle almost looked ready to faint as she clutched at her husband’s bicep.

“Y’know, that stuff they use here, of course!” Mal piped up, grabbing the container of sauce as she held it up for them to see. Both of their stares homed in on the sauce in Mal’s hand and Mal knew she was quickly going to have to change the subject. She laughed a bit, looking around awkwardly before sitting the sauce down at the table.

“Whoo! Oh, gosh, my mouth’s burning!” Evie proclaimed as she kept guzzling water, and Mal sighed under her breath as she tried to keep from either laughing at Evie’s emphatic announcements or out of her horrible embarrassment.

Mal risked a glanced behind her, and she swiftly spotted Evie behind them all and fanning her mouth while gulping down ridiculously large amounts of water. Mal then returned her gaze to Ben’s parents, swallowing as she tried to look as casual as possible.

“Well, we’re glad that you care so much about our son… Umm,” Belle trailed off, trying to keep positive and think of good things to continue this already horrendously awkward conversation. Mal cleared her throat, truly feeling the older woman’s pain in the situation.

“You have a very interesting way of expressing your feelings toward him,” Adam commented, and Mal swallowed, knowing that she had so far only made a huge mess of things. Mal just nodded in reply and didn’t really have any idea of what to say in reply to him.

“But anyway. Tell us about yourself, Mal,” Adam spoke up, and Mal felt almost as if she were being threatened as his voice took an authoritative tone. Mal’s expression must have reflected this because Belle shot him a disapproving glance. He never even looked at his wife once, keeping his eyes focused on Mal instead.

“Oh… About me… Well, I’m,” Mal started, and quietly listened for Evie’s soothing voice sounding off in her ear. But to her shock, Evie didn’t say a word. In fact, there was dead silence in her ear. Not even the previous background sound that had been droning along.

Mal once again looked back at Evie, and Evie was gesturing furiously between the earpiece and her glass of water. Mal couldn’t help it as her eyes went wide, almost completely panicking.

Mal was by herself. Evie was no longer able to help her through this.

Belle and Adam furrowed their brows and craned their necks, trying to figure out who or what that Mal was staring at, and Mal started to speak. She had to throw them off track so they wouldn’t find out that Evie was there.

“But what I am! I’m,” Mal tried desperately to think of something impressive to say, and she found that she was completely drawing a blank on fanciful, made-up things to say.

So as she found that she was completely out of places to turn, facts to fabricate, and ideas to use, Mal realized that she was going to have to tell the truth.

Mal sighed deeply.

“I’m a sixteen-year-old girl,” Mal swallowed, trying to think of something else to say. They were looking at her now, their eyes solely focused upon her, and she very much felt put on the spot. She knew that she needed to think of something fast. She sighed deeply and she continued.

“One of my many hobbies is art. I love to paint, draw, you name it. Just ask Evie. I’ve covered our whole dorm in stuff I’ve painted,” Mal chuckled a bit, both attempting to relieve the tension and thinking of Evie’s shock at the time that the bluenette woke up with Mal balancing on Evie’s bed in an attempt to reach the ceiling.

“Umm… I like to study history in school. It’s my favorite subject besides art… I guess it’s just… I guess it’s because I like to know where we’ve been to know where we’re all coming from,” Mal explained herself, worried that she wouldn’t make any sense. However, Adam’s gaze was unreadable while Belle seemed much more softened. Mal could feel the prickling of sweat at her neck as she tried to keep her nerve under this unbearable pressure.

“And I… I really care about my family. Evie, Carlos, and Jay. They’re the reason I’m here today. They’ve saved me in so many ways,” Mal admitted, feeling exceedingly raw and naked by saying it, but also feeling a surge of power within herself as she considered all the things she had been through with her three most treasured people.

However, they were still very much staring at her, and Mal was very worried. She knew she was going to have to bring this to a close since she didn’t know what else to talk about. She had no idea what to do, but she went to the last topic that she could possibly think to cover.

“And I really like your son. He’s… the best guy I’ve ever known besides my brothers,” Mal confessed to them, trying to say what she felt about Ben despite the fact that she almost felt like puking as a result of her overwhelming nervousness.

They just looked at her quietly for a long moment, and Mal cleared her throat, her gaze shifting around before settling back on them again.

“Uh… And I guess that’s about it?” Mal finished, her statement sounding more like a question as she uncertainly finished her monologue.

There were several long moments of silence, and Mal averted her eyes to the menu on the table before her. Mal knew she had officially blown whatever opportunity she had to keep her friends in Auradon and keep Ben as her boyfriend.

They sat there quietly, before Mal was suddenly assaulted with the smell of Evie’s perfume, and she immediately knew her best friend was close by. To her complete shock, there was suddenly a girl with hair pulled back in a tight bun and wearing one of the waitress’ hats on her head, her face caked in a ridiculously large amount of makeup with an exceedingly pale face.

Mal could easily tell it was Evie, but only because Mal recognized Evie’s every little mannerism so well that she didn’t even have to see her face to know who it was.

“Hello, hello! Are we doing alright over here?!” the girl spoke in a horrible British accent, and Mal immediately realized that Evie had obviously went into disguise mode. Mal really wanted to facepalm at Evie’s ridiculousness, but she controlled the urge.

“Yes… Umm… do I know you? I think I’ve seen you before,” Adam questioned, furrowing his brow as he studied Evie. Evie laughed, and Mal couldn’t help but note it sounded quite silly.

“Oh, no! Of course not! Not unless you know an Elizabeth, your majesty! Because I’m Elizabeth,” Evie introduced, and Mal just watched the girl curiously with a raised brow.

“So how are you doing? You need anything? Oh, and who is this adorable little muffin?!” Evie questioned as she bent down, looking at Mal and booping her on the nose.

“Perhaps a future daughter-in-law?” Evie questioned hopefully, and Mal pinched Evie’s leg underneath the table, signaling her to stop trying so hard to help. Evie made a little squeak before shooting a glance in Mal’s direction. However, she quickly recovered, flashing the largest of smiles.

Belle just sort of laughed in response to “Elizabeth,” and largely just looked exceedingly weirded out. Mal looked up at Evie and she sighed slightly.

“Because I believe you two have a son, if I may be so bold?” Evie questioned respectfully, that British accent affecting her every word.

“Yes, that’s correct,” Adam replied stiffly, uncertain where the girl was going with this, and Evie laughed as she placed a hand on her chest.

“Oh, how wonderful! I was wondering who that young teen was that always hangs out with you two. It’s good to hear that’s your son. You see, I am quite new here. I just immigrated from Britain-ville,” Evie spoke, and Mal sighed deeply as she closed her eyes in humiliation for Evie.

“But anyways! You’re Mal, right?” Mal nodded in reply, playing along, and Evie gasped. “Oh, my goodness, you’re even more beautiful in real life! And you have the most stunning best friend! Her name’s Evie, right? She’s absolutely the best designer ever, and a practical fashion genius!” Evie gushed, and Mal raised an eyebrow.

“She’s a wonderful designer, alright. A little conceited sometimes, but a wonderful designer,” Mal replied, and Evie shot Mal a glance that was somewhere between appreciative and offended.

“But anyways! You should definitely consider this girl as a match for your baby boy! She looks so trustworthy, so kind, so funny! And just look at the chubby cheeks!” Evie cooed as she grabbed Mal’s cheeks in her fingers.

Mal held back the groan, allowing Evie to do as she wished with Mal’s face.

“If you don’t mind me asking, just how do you know this?” Belle questioned politely, and Evie giggled as she patted Mal’s cheek.

“I’m usually a good judge of character,” Evie assured them with a smile. However, the grin quickly faded as she spotted the manager with a waitress that didn’t have a hat that was pointing at Evie. Evie looked at Mal, Adam, and Belle as she waved and started to walk off.

“Umm… Nice talking to all of you, but I’ve got to go! You know! Nature calls!” Evie told them before doing that signature hurry-walk for which she was so infamous. Mal could immediately see that Evie needed help, and she looked at Adam and Belle sweetly.

“If you’ll excuse me… I’ve got to go. I think Elizabeth needs help, and I’m going to go see if she needs help getting home. She looks a bit intoxicated,” Mal told them, trying to cover up Evie’s weirdness as simply being under the influence of alcohol as she started to get up, gathering her things. “I’m so sorry to leave on such short notice…”

“Oh, we understand. You go and help… our new friend,” Belle spoke kindly. Mal nodded with a smile before hurrying over to Evie. She grabbed the girl’s hand before she could do anything and she took the hat off Evie’s head, throwing it at the manager and the waitress before hurrying Evie out the door.

“Did I help?” Evie questioned in a whisper, still speaking in that British accent, and Mal rolled her eyes as she leaned against Evie, locking arms with her.

“Well, you got me out of having to stay and eat with them, so I think you certainly helped in one way or another,” Mal assured her. Evie furrowed her brow as she looked at Mal.

“But did I help with impressing them?” Evie questioned, her voice still affected.

“Not really. And stop talking like that,” Mal commanded as she looked behind her, making sure no one was following them.

“I rather like talking like this,” Evie assured Mal in her British accent, and Mal sighed as she released a bit of the tension in her shoulders as they had fully escaped the restaurant. Mal just looked at Evie fondly as she allowed herself to relax. She leaned her head against Evie’s shoulder as they walked along.

“Hey, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to ruin things for you,” Evie expressed, her normal voice returning, as she tightened her grip around Mal’s arm and Mal shook her head.

“No, you didn’t ruin things, E. The whole thing was just a giant screwup that was all my fault. So don’t worry. I really appreciated your help,” Mal expressed, and Evie nodded somewhat sadly, resting her head against Mal’s as she slipped her arm from Mal’s to instead wrap around Mal’s waist.

It had been a disaster, but at least Mal still had Evie. That was the most important thing.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

“Do you think everything will be alright, E?” Mal questioned as she hurried down the hall, talking to Evie via her smartphone as she made her way to the library where Belle and Adam had wanted to meet her and Ben. Ben had texted her and told her that he was there already.

They hadn’t offered her any details outside of the fact that it was about the time they had spent together in the restaurant the other day, and that idea alone scared Mal senseless. After all, she had done a lot of fumbling on that outing.

“I’m sure so, M. But if it isn’t, that’ll be okay, too. You’ve got me, Jay, and Carlos,” Evie assured her, and Mal couldn’t help but smile a bit.

“I know. And that means the world to me. I just… I kind of hoped to have both you guys and date Ben, too, I guess,” Mal expressed, and she could almost see Evie’s sympathetic expression.

“It’s okay. It’ll be alright. You call me back as soon as you get the news, and come straight home, okay? I’ll be sitting here waiting with open arms,” Evie expressed, and Mal smiled at her sister, feeling her heart swell with Evie’s words.

But it was soon replaced with cold fear and a firm knot in her stomach as she came to the library door. She swallowed hard.

“I’m here. I love you, Evie,” Mal told her, and Evie made a kiss noise somewhat playfully, and Mal chuckled lightly.

“I love you, too, Mal. Remember what I said, alright?” Evie replied, and Mal hummed in response before they exchanged goodbyes and hung up the phone.

Mal took a deep breath, letting it out before opening the door and coming in. Ben was laughing with his father, but as soon as Mal entered, the room lost its levity in favor of a more somber atmosphere.

Ben offered his hand to her, and she wasted no time in taking it, coming to his side as she looked at the two adults before them.

Belle and Adam shared a glance before Adam nodded resolutely and returned his stare to Mal and Ben.

“We called you here to talk to both of you,” Adam began, and Mal held her breath, very worried about the outcome of their apparent assessment of her. Ben’s warm arm was around her reassuringly, and Mal sighed deeply as she let the breath she was holding go, deciding that it ultimately did not matter that much. Whatever the outcome was, she’d be perfectly fine.

“You’re certainly… unconventional, Mal,” Adam told her, and Mal sighed, expecting this fully and not saying anything in defense of herself. Ben furrowed his brow, and Mal felt him stiffen a bit as he automatically came to Mal’s defense.

“Wait a minute, Dad. You just have to give her a chance to---”

“But with that being said, we appreciated your honesty with us, Mal. And I personally think that Ben’s made a wonderful choice in girlfriends,” Belle complimented Mal, her voice filled with warmth. Mal looked up at the woman in shock, and to her utter surprise, Belle was actually smiling at her softly. Ben immediately shut his mouth, looking at his parents incredulously.

Mal returned the grin tentatively before very slowly and hesitantly looking at Adam. His face was still very much guarded and hardened, but there was the smallest release in his posture that told Mal her words had somewhat loosened his iron feelings toward her.

“You two can see each other,” he permitted, and Mal grinned widely as she looked at Ben who was standing there next to her. His arm tightened around her waist, and she couldn’t help but giggle gleefully.

She immediately thought of Evie and how the bluenette had thought that they were calling her to get rejected, and she knew that she needed to share the news with Evie.

“Thank you both so much, and I appreciate it so much,” Mal expressed happily as she shook her head in disbelief and joy. “I’ve got to go and tell Evie! I’ll see you later, Ben,” Mal kissed the boy’s cheek and then hurried toward the door.

“Oh, and tell her that the next time we see her, we expect to hear that impressive British accent,” Adam expressed, and Mal froze quickly as she looked back at the three behind her. Adam offered her a somewhat sly smile, and Mal grinned a bit in return before stepping out into the hall and running to go find Evie.

Ol’ Beast-Man wasn’t quite as bad as Mal thought, after all.

“You’re overthinking– I’m yours. That’s all I want to be.” and none other than Cu Chulainn

//Because I'm a really big dumbass, this is long overdue. @coldpalaceee, I'm sorry if this isn't as good as it deserves to be...I am loving these prompts, and I hope I haven't deterred you from requesting more! (...God I work slow - )

------

I'm overreacting.

...Well, that wasn't new, was it? You had always been shy, and awkward, and clumsy, and just so many things you knew you weren't good at or lacked.

The fact that you knew you were overreacting made it ten times worse.

You stared at your boyfriend, the one and only Cú Chulainn, who was making small talk with the (pretty attractive) waiter as you both waited for your meals. You weren't at a fancy restaurant, no; your poor heart couldn't take the stifling formality that came with going to fancy places.

You tended to avoid them like the plague.

So, once you brought it up that you wanted to go somewhere with Cú that wasn't a fancy place, he patted your head and gave you a sun-filled grin that temporarily made your anxiety dissipate. He was always good with that, the comfort; it was like he knew exactly what to do when you clammed up or started to get lost in your own thoughts, resulting in you making more mistakes on whatever you were doing.

You both decided to go to an out-of-the-way cafe, the very same one where you two first met.

He had done so much for you already. Time and time again, he went out of his way to make you comfortable. You honestly wondered why he even wanted to hang around you, much less date you.

So, you presented the idea of this particular outing to him as a treat.

You were supposed to be the one making him feel good. You were supposed to be the one to make him feel comfortable.

He's been talking to this waiter for five minutes... Your gaze became downcast, eyes boring holes into the menu in front of you. You could hear the waiter laugh at a particular joke, one you recognized Cú telling you not even a week ago.

Despite the swirling unease in your stomach, you slightly smiled. Cú always had a tendency to tell other people stuff he learned with excitement that could affect even the most depressed person. He's like a puppy; it's...cute.

Not that you'd ever call him a puppy to his face.

" -ight, (Y/N)?"

"H-Huh?" Your gaze snapped back up to Cú, who was waiting for an answer. You scratched the back of your head, sheepish. "Sorry...what did you say?"

He gave you an odd look, repeating his question. "I said that this cafe is always a treat to go back to, right?"

You blinked, answering with a question of your own. "Was-...Was that supposed to be a pun?"

Now it was Cú's turn to blink, pondering for a fee moments. He then chuckled, the light sound making you smile as butterflies danced in your stomach. "I guess it was! I mean, the sweets here are incredible."

His eyes searched around the cafe, and your traitorous mind whispered that he was waiting for that extroverted waiter to come back, because unlike you they could keep a steady conversation with him without tripping over their own words like the failure they are -

"(Y/N)."

You returned your focus to Cú at his tone, a small frown on your face. The odd look was back on his face as crimson orbs scrutinized you. "What's wrong?"

You tensed. "Wh- ...Uh, nothing's wr- "

"Don't lie to me, (Y/N)." The intensity of his stare was still there, but now some exasperation was mixed into it. "You always occupy your hands with something when there's something on your mind."

Sure enough, you looked down to see that you were playing with the strings of your black hoodie. You had chosen dull colors so that you didn't stand out, while Cú wore a yellow sweatshirt and light blue jeans that you, admittedly, was better than the eye-damaging but endearing Hawaiian shirt he always had on hand; he stood out, and you blended in.

You wanted to scream. No! This was supposed to be the outing where you looked after Cú and coddled him, reassuring him with soft words and hand holding and so much more -

But you messed it up, like always, and he should honestly just dump your stupid ass already.

"O-Oi, I didn't mean to make you upset by that!" Cú had searched for a way to reassure you, since you looked tense enough to simply break at the slightest misstep. "It's just...I want to know what you're thinking, that's all. What's up?"

Your mind raced a mile a minute. Okay, you were definitely overreacting, but you couldn't stop yourself from spiralling further. Your mouth decided to betray you by blurting out, "Why are you even here?"

Ouch. You scrambled for a remedy, but it was too late. You watched a flicker of hurt cross his face before the confusion set in, and at this point you were mortified.

"I-I mean - !" You spoke frantically, frustrated with yourself. Why did you say it like that? Of course he got the wrong idea! Your hands balled into fists, pausing their motions.

Everything was falling apart, and it was because you couldn't muster up even a scrap of courage to tell him properly.

"I phrased that wrong. Oh god, I didn't - I didn't mean - "

"(Y/N)." You looked up. Cú gave an exasperated huff, but he was smiling. "Seriously, it's cool. I understand; just chill out for a sec, and tell me when you're ready."

"Why?!"

Your second outburst shocked him. He opened his mouth to continue, but you weren't waiting for a response; you figured hey, may as well drive the stake in further.

"Cú, you're so...vibrant. You're vibrant, understanding, way smarter than Gilgamesh gives you credit for, exuberant, witty, confident, encouraging, endearing, and just...so much more. Looking at you is like looking at a literal miniature sun, because you stand out and despite the odds being stacked against you, you somehow manage to find the silver lining in a bleak situation.

"Meanwhile, I'm...not nearly as amazing. I'm pretty forgettable in a sea of faces, I'm quiet, awkward, clumsy, I make at least seven mistakes each day, insecure, overbearing, bad with words, and I'm nowhere near as confident as you are. I usually bring the mood down, and I have low self-esteem."

Cú really looked like he wanted to say something, but was restraining himself. You continued, not seeming to notice his struggle.

"Seeing you talk to the waiter from before made me realize that I...I could never be as good as you. Well, I guess what I'm trying to say is that I don't know why you're dating me when there's other people like the waiter who could easily hold a conversation with you. There's so many wonderful people out there who would be better, and I always screw things up and cause you more trouble than you need since you always have so much on your plate already - "

"I chose you."

"Hah?" You stopped, gaze snapping back up to meet his. Cú's eyes were narrowed, his mouth a thin line as he glared.

You swallowed. Did...Did you just piss off the Cú Chulainn?

"I chose you." He repeated. "You, and no one else. Honestly, (Y/N), what am I going to do with you?"

You closed your mouth, a pained expression quickly making itself known on your face. Yet again, you made him comfort you instead of the other way around -

"Since you don't see what I do, I'm gonna have to pound it into that pretty little head of yours." Pink dusted across your cheeks as his irritated expression gave way to the grin you knew belonged to him and only him. It was sharp and wild, yet filled with so much glee and kindness that you slowly began to unwind your tightly balled hands.

"Yeah, you may be all of those things, but so what?"

"...Huh?" You peered at him, dumbfounded. Didn't...Didn't that just prove your point?

"Nope, it's my turn to talk." Cú held up a hand, and you vaguely registered your food being put in front of you and a "Have a nice day" in favor of listening to your boyfriend.

"If a human didn't have their flaws, then they wouldn't be human, now would they?" He continued. "Which, by the way, I find yours adorable. You're sarcastic and witty once you get enough confidence, mischievous, think more with your brain than rely on instinct, and you have such a big heart that there's no way a sane person could hate you.

"(Y/N), you look around and you see so much more than I think I could ever, and then the most breathtaking look gets into your eye as you appreciate what you're seeing. The best part is that it happens randomly; what I wouldn't look twice at, you take into your hands and go over it with a lot of care. You'd think that you were holding a baby bird with a broken wing from how you hold things. You have bursts of optimism that come and go, and when they do it's hard to even get mad at you.

"Most of all, (Y/N), you...ground me." He scratched his cheek lightly, looking over to the side.

You gaped. Was he...embarrassed? Each compliment had you sinking further in your chair, hands covering your beet red face.

"Yeah, you bring the mood down, but...not in the way you think. Ah, damnit, why is this so hard to say?! ...You're calming, and you help me not get too carried away with whatever the hell I'm doing. Imagining myself without you here is impossible at this point."

"Cú, just -...just stop, goddamnit," You groaned into your hands, wanting nothing more than to melt into a puddle and evaporate. "I-I get it, you love me. But...why the compliments?"

Cú rolled his eyes, leaning over to pry your hands away and giving you a quick but loving peck on your forehead. "Like I said, I had to beat it into your skull somehow. Don't you ever think that you're not worthy, or some dumb bullshit like that. Despite my flirting, I'm a loyal guy; I wouldn't leave you."

You stared at him. "Loyal...like how you were staring at that one couple's asses on the way here."

You didn't even realize that you didn't stutter through that entire sentence. Cú laughed at your retort, at least having some bit of shame to look sheepish. "What? When you see an ass that doesn't lie, you can't help but admire it."

"Cú!" You were laughing at this point too (since he was right - their asses were fine), but you still lightly punched his shoulder from across the table.

He grinned, a twinkle in his eyes. "There's the (Y/N) I know and love."

You spluttered. "Cú Chulainn, I swear if you say one more sappy thing - "

He reached over to hold your hand, making you pause. "Yeah, about earlier? You're overthinking - I'm yours. That's all I want to be."

This time, you were the one to lean over the table (and your untouched food) to kiss him.

jjk | calla lilies

“The calla lilies are in bloom again. Such a strange flower—suitable to any occasion.” (Katherine Hepburn) or You're trying to help set him up with his boyhood crush and things don't go according to plan. —hanahaki disease au, non-idol au, friends-to-lovers au, flora & fauna series

6,222 words

p.cred

The waiting room is beige with a dark brown carpet, the kind that has either always been that color or is that color as a result of years of use. There are paintings (ironically) of flowers on the walls, and potted plants stationed randomly between the chairs. A receptionist sits behind a counter, typing on a computer and answering the phone when it rings. Aside from her, there are seven people scattered about the room.

Jeongguk sits in the corner, eyes flicking between the different patients without paying any real attention, bouncing his leg and drumming his fingers on his thighs. He’s always been an overachiever, but this takes the cake. Of all the flowers to infest his lungs: calla lilies. And black ones at that. How fucking emo.

He presses against the earbuds in his ears even though they aren’t falling out; he wants to disappear. It’s easier with loud music, so he’s been blasting Linkin Park (a favorite from his teen years) ever since he first coughed up the dark black calla lily petal three days ago. Although he didn’t so much “cough it up” as pull it slowly, painfully from his esophagus, because calla lily petals are long as fuck. But even with the reverberations of Linkin Park in his ears, he can’t escape the image of the woman stumbling to and from the bathroom, or the boy all but curled into the fetal position in his chair. His jaw is clenched as if that’s all it will take to keep any more flower petals or blood from coming up his throat.

Jeongguk nearly jumps when his music is interrupted by a harsh ding in his ears. He takes out the earbuds, wincing when he can hear the girl vomiting harshly in the bathroom; he immediately puts them back in. Of course, he thinks once he pulls out his phone, you have a sixth sense about these things.

Hey, is everything okay? It’s been like 12 hours since you texted me so ofc I’m freaking out :D

He smiles at his phone like an idiot.

JK: haven’t been feeling well

JK: at the doctor’s now

Oh! Want me to stop by with some soup later?

He chuckles and wonders if soup could burn up all the flowers in his lungs.

JK: no soup but you can stop by if you want

There are immediately three little dots beneath his last message, so he already knows what you’re going to say. And then a nurse comes out; despite the music he knows she’s said his name. He raises his hand as if in school, flushing at his embarrassment, before removing the earbuds and stuffing them and his phone into his pocket.

“Come on back." He follows behind her noiselessly, hands balled up into his jacket pockets.

The nurse asks the questions with a bored tone, typing his information into a computer, measuring his blood pressure and pulse. She has to scold him three times before he can finally calm down enough to stop drumming his fingers on the side of the table.

“The doctor will be in shortly,” she says before closing the door. He wished she’d given him some kind of indication of how bad it was.

His fingers hit the metal table even harder and when he can hear voices outside the room and the clock on the wall ticking slowly, he stuffs the earbuds back into his ears.

Cool! 3 okay?

JK: yes!

It makes him feel better, knowing you’ll be there to talk to later. He hasn’t told anyone about his…condition; he wanted to wait until he knew for sure what was going on. But if he was going to tell anyone, it would be you.

He takes his earbuds out again when the doctor walks in, smiling warmly at him before perusing his chart. The doctor isn't old but he has started graying; there are laugh lines around his eyes and mouth. Jeongguk immediately trusts him.

The doctor raises his eyebrows and looks up at him, “Calla lilies, huh?”

Deep, deep sigh. “Yes.”

The doctor almost chuckles at his patient’s whiney tone. He pulls a stool over and sits in front of him. “I’m Dr. Moon.” He holds out his hand and Jeongguk takes it, bowing his head respectfully.

“I’m going to listen to your lungs and take a look down your throat, but we may need scans to survey the full extent of the infestation,” the doctor says. Jeongguk nods. He feels like the tortoise trying to catch up with the hare. Dr. Moon continues, “But before we look at the physical signs, I have to ask about your mental state.”

“My mental state?” Jeongguk cocks his head to the side.

“Yes. Truth be told, Hanahaki starts with the mind. There are many cases in which the patient only believes that their love is unreciprocated, and yet that is enough to kill a person. Grief, despair…those are the killers.” Dr. Moon looks solemn for a long moment before continuing, “So. What’s your story?”

Jeongguk’s eyes widen because it feels like such a personal question. He’s barely told you all of the details, how is he supposed to tell a stranger in a lab coat?

Dr. Moon senses his hesitation and pats Jeongguk’s shoulder, “Trust me. I need to know.”

Jeongguk sighs and says, “Um. I don’t really know her, I guess. We went to school together for a long time, had a few classes…” He flushes as he speaks, his cheeks going beet red because what kind of an idiot gets Hanahaki disease for a boyhood crush? He hides his face behind his hands.

“I see,” the doctor says, standing and patting his shoulder again, “Okay, let’s take a listen.”

Dr. Moon presses the stethoscope to Jeongguk’s chest and back; he breathes deeply when cued, only having to stop once when a matte black calla lily petal inches up his throat. Jeongguk frowns as he holds it between two fingers, dropping it in the trash can Dr. Moon offers.

“So,” the doctor says when he’s finished, “it doesn’t look too bad.”

“Really?” Jeongguk’s face brightens.

“You’re in the early stages. But you’d be surprised how quickly things can escalate. You have some options for now; I’m going to prescribe some anti-growth pills that should keep the flora from progressing too much. And…” he pauses, choosing his next words carefully, “I would recommend finding a way to get over this woman. It’s always best to avoid surgery if you can, but if there’s no way of overcoming the mental and emotional hurdle, you might want to consider the surgery…” The doctor twists around to retrieve a pamphlet from the counter.

Jeongguk takes it carefully, the cover reads Flora Removal Surgery: What You Need to Know. He takes his bottom lip into his mouth and worries it slightly, frowning at the image on the front of a man with a rose growing in his chest.

Dr. Moon scribbles on a pad of paper before ripping it off and handing it to Jeongguk, “Get this filled today, and let’s make an appointment for a follow up in a couple of weeks.”

“Okay,” Jeongguk whispers, head swimming with the doctor’s words.

An hour and a half later Jeongguk is walking home, toting a small paper pharmacy bag and a wrinkled brow. The pamphlet the doctor gave him is burning a hole in his pocket, and he’s so lost in thought that he doesn't see you.

You're learning against the door of his apartment in a patch of sun, squinting as you see him round the corner. He's stressed. You can tell by the way he carries himself: the hunch of his shoulders, the wrinkle in his brow, the downturn of his lips. Right now he resembles the quiet boy you knew in middle school, not the confident young man he actually is.

As soon as he’s in touching distance, you press the back of your hand to his forehead and say, “How are you feeling?”

Jeongguk jumps at the sudden contact. But once he realizes it’s you he chuckles and shakes your hand off, “I’m fine.” But even he doesn’t believe himself. He unlocks the door to the apartment and sighs in relief for the air conditioning.

You follow behind him, picking up the supermarket bag you’d abandoned on the ground as you do so. He said no soup, but he hadn’t said anything about snacks…so you bought all of his favorites.

When you finally get in, closing the door behind you, he’s buried in the fridge (unbeknownst to you, he drops his prescription there in a rush). He’s chugging a carton of orange juice in large gulps. You avoid looking at him (sweaty and shedding his layers of clothing so that his shirt rides up…) and make yourself comfortable on his couch, dumping the contents of the bag onto the coffee table.

“Sick!” Jeongguk grins, swiping a bag of chips from the table and landing next to you on the couch.

There’s a pain in your chest as his arm brushes against yours but you can’t make yourself move away. Instead, you press your hand against his forehead again and frown, “You feel warm.”

“I’ve been walking in the sun for fifteen minutes,” he shrugs, chewing with his mouth open.

You wrinkle your nose at this; it’s one of his more annoying habits from childhood that, unbelievably, has grown on you.

“What did the doctor say?”

Jeongguk clams up. He puts down his bag of chips awkwardly, wiping his mouth to buy time before saying, “It’s not…that bad.”

“What?” Your eyes narrow.

Jeongguk avoids eye contact with you. Jeongguk “Golden Child” Jeon is pretty much good at everything, even lying (when the occasion permits it). He’s like Korean Superman. But his Kryptonite?

Sitting next to him on the loveseat and watching him so closely it burns.

He shrugs and bounces off the couch like he’s spring-loaded, rubbing the back of his neck, “Nothing. A cold.”

You cross your arms and lean into the couch, watching him twitch nervously as he tries to decide why he stood up. “Which is it?” you ask, “Nothing? Or a cold?”

He still won’t look at you. “I mean…it’s a cold. But it’s not anything serious. So it’s nothing. A nothing cold.”

You stand up and touch his arm gently. He finally turns to look at you, his expression guilty. You brush a piece of his hair from his face, and say, “For the record: I don’t believe you. But, fine, you don’t have to tell me.” You shrug, then hit the back of his head, “But you do have to tell me if it gets serious!” You narrow your eyes again before picking up a box of Poky and plopping down on the couch.

Jeongguk stares at you for a moment too long, his chest feeling the lightest it has in days. He adores you, his best friend, his confidant, his person. Watching as you sink deeper into the couch, pulling your knees to your chest and scrolling through Netflix on the TV…it feels like he can breathe again.

But he only gets through half an episode of Hwayugi (a recent discovery on Netflix and an instant favorite of yours and his) before his chest begins to feel tight. Jeongguk coughs harshly into a closed fist, feeling something wet on his palm and already knowing what it is instinctively.

“Gguk?” you gasp when he rises suddenly, bolting across the room and dropping to his knees in front of the toilet. He heaves violently and when he opens his eyes there’s a mix of blood, bile, and dark calla lily petals swirling in the water. Ironically, the sight (and the smell, dear god) makes him nauseous.

He leans away from the bowl, resting his back and head against the wall, trying to calm his heart and get the taste of blood from his mouth. A surge of thoughts hit his mind and he jumps when the toilet flushes.

Your face is confused and concerned as you watch him breathing heavily. Chewing on your bottom lip, you sink to your knees to sit across from him in the small space. "So...it's nothing, huh?"

Jeongguk almost smiles, his lips quirking upward just slightly, dyed red from the blood. He shrugs, his chest hurting with the effort of breathing, “Well…the doctor said it didn’t look too bad.”

“Jeongguk,” you sigh. You reach forward and push his mop of dark hair away from his forehead. There’s a sheen of sweat shining in the light that filters in from the window and you can see his Adam’s apple bob as he swallows down blood and bile, his chest heaves with the exertion. You have to bite your tongue to keep your composure.

You twist around so that you’re sitting next to him, knees touching as he almost subconsciously starts to lean into you. Fighting against the pain, you rest your cheek against the top of his head, sighing again, “Who is it?”

Jeongguk scrunches his face together and you can feel shame shed off him in waves, “Lisa.”

There’s a split second where you can feel a fresh pain in your chest and you almost cry out. Instead, you smile and force a seemingly involuntary snort from your nose, nudging him with your elbow.

“Lisa Em,” you chuckle. Lalisa Manoban from Bangkok. She’d transferred in the middle of fourth grade and had thus made quite an entrance; she was popular instantaneously. All of the teachers had struggled with her last name (for reasons unbeknownst to you) and had unanimously called her Lisa Emmmm.

You remember the first time Jeongguk saw her. He was ten years old, eyes wide like galaxies and in awe of her. She’d been assigned to your and his reading group; ten-year-old Lisa had pulled out her chair, smiled and bowed shyly at the group, then complimented JK’s sketch of the tree in the courtyard. You’d watched from across the table as a new kind of light hit his fourth-grade face.

In retrospect, after you’d received your official diagnosis, you’d wondered if Hanhaki could start that early. You guessed probably not. But then again…

“Don’t laugh,” Jeongguk whines, but he’s smiling as he buries his head in your shoulder.

“I’m not laughing,” you grin.

“I know I’m an idiot,” he chuckles.

“True,” you joke, pinching his knee playfully, “but not because of this.”

“What should I do?” he whispers as if contemplating it out loud will cause the room to shatter.

“What did the doctor say?” You’re whispering; such delicate and sensitive topics are not meant for the light of day.

“To get over it.”

You roll your eyes, “They did not say that.”

Chuckling despite himself, he clarifies, “He suggested I do what I can to get over her. But he gave me some meds for now, and a pamphlet on the surgery.”

You let out your breath abruptly as if his words were a sudden weight on your chest. You cough almost violently, and Jeongguk pushes off your side to get a good look at you.

You wave your hand at him so he won’t worry, but when you manage to swallow the clotted dandelion seeds in your throat (a habit your doctor has told you multiple times will speed up the progression of your disease) he still has that same expression. To distract him, you say, “Do you want to get over her?”

Jeongguk watches you for another long second, pouting when he decides to answer, “No, of course not.”

“Well then let’s fix you two up!” You’re a little too loud with your explanation, like a goose squawking. You hope he doesn’t notice that your teeth are now stained pink.

“What?”

Awkwardly you lick your teeth, tasting iron on your tongue, before you turn to face him. “That will make the flowers go away! Hanahaki disease is motivated by the brain; you think it’s unreciprocated which makes the flowers grow. If you two get together, you no longer think it’s unreciprocated, the flowers go away!”

Jeongguk runs a hand through his hair and you try not to watch the way his fingers move or his arm flexes. “But in my case, it really is unreciprocated. I only see her when we pass each other on campus. We just…wave,” he says lamely.

“So? Even if you go on a couple of dates, that will do it!”

For the second time, he watches you suspiciously, “Why do you know so much about Hanahaki disease?”

“Um,” you look at the grimy blue bath tile, “I had to research it for an elective?” You mean to make it a statement, but your voice goes up on the end like a question. But the plan has had enough time to percolate in Jeongguk’s mind and he’s too excited now to notice.

“Where do we start?”

Three days later and you’re hiding behind an untrimmed hedge in the quad with Jeongguk. He has his hand shoved into a bag of chips and you keep twisting around to shush him because it’s too noisy.

“I think you’re taking the stealth thing a little seriously,” he chuckles, loudly crunching on chips just to be annoying.

“You’re the one dressed all in black.”

“This isn’t for stealth, this is my aesthetic.” He puts a dramatic emphasis on the word aesthetic, but it’s ruined when he immediately starts crunching loudly on his chips.

You finally look away from the central part of the quad to side-eye him, “Are you sure they meet up here?”

Jeongguk nods seriously and you can see he’s using his tongue to pry chewed chips from his teeth. “I always see Lisa and BamBam sitting around here after my three o’clock class.”

“BamBam” is BamBam Kunpimook, an exchange student from Thailand. He and Lisa were friends from childhood (before she moved) that had reconnected last year. After a couple of strategizing sessions (in which you and Jeongguk played video games and talked aimlessly about Lisa), you'd decided he posed the biggest threat to Jeongguk’s future success.

You turn back to look at the quad, squinting against the sunlight and Jeongguk puts his chin on your shoulder to watch with you. He stuffs the empty bag of chips into his hoody pocket and frowns, “Are you sure about this?”

You find it hard to concentrate with him all but sitting on top of you. Ever since you’d learned about the Hanahaki disease, he’d amped up the skinship. You’d always been close, and not necessarily shy about skinship, but lately it seems like he’s been hanging off you constantly. Normally, you wouldn’t complain, but it makes it hard to breathe. Literally. The doctor said one of the side effects of Hanahaki, although rare, was that any kind of touch from your unreciprocated love could make the flowers grow.

Jeongguk leans against you heavily, his back pressed against yours and his chin almost digging into your shoulder. He inhales deeply; you smell like soap and laundry detergent (his two favorite things) and it makes his heart flutter. He lets the scent settle in his mind, conjuring up images of you that make him smile. Then he takes another deep breath because it’s easier when he’s close to you.

“Of course,” you whisper, but you don’t turn to look at him. You can feel how close he is and if you turn he’d be right there and with so many possibilities. “This is your life,” you add, shrugging him off gently when you see BamBam’s lithe stature from across the quad.

You stand and raise your arm in a wave, “BamBam!”

Jeongguk almost falls on his ass without you there to steady him. He takes a shaky breath, wincing at the stabs of pain in his lungs now that you’re gone.

BamBam cocks his head at you but doesn’t stop walking, taking his earbuds out and saying your name like a question. His confusion is warranted, considering you’ve only ever had one class together and it's not one in which you’ve ever talked.

“Do you have a second?” You stop in front of him, squinting because he’s standing in front of the sun, “I lost the homework assignment for composition…”

He shrugs good-naturedly and swings his backpack off, turning to place it on a bench as he digs through the papers. You catch sight of Lisa and turn to wave discreetly at Jeongguk.

“Shit,” Jeongguk whispers, bouncing up once he’s seen her. He doesn’t realize his strength and flies about half a foot in the air from the force, landing shakily and almost losing his balance. He jogs across the quad to meet her.

You snort at his antics, shaking your head to turn back to BamBam. He’s holding out the assignment and watching you with a curious expression.

“You like him.” He’s smirking and it isn’t a question.

You hope your blush can be attributed to the mid-afternoon sun. “Of course, he’s my best friend.”

BamBam shakes his head and puts his homework away. You don’t even bother with the ruse anymore, too focused now on your defensive strategies. “Not like that,” he says. He looks above your head now and you turn to follow his line of sight.

Lisa is laughing happily at something Jeongguk’s said and he has his nose scrunched him in a smile so you know he’s pleased. It creates an odd mixture of feelings for you. You’re happy for him because he’s happy; you’d do nearly anything to get him to smile like that. But there’s a sharp pain in your chest, and before you know it you’re coughing up blood.

“Oh my god,” BamBam says, his hand on your back, “Are you okay?”

You wave your hands around as if to say I’m fine, don’t worry, but it just comes off as frantic. BamBam digs into his bag again and pulls out a towel, “Here.”

You take it and wrinkle your nose because it smells like sweat but use it to wipe your mouth anyway. You swallow, but the seeds won’t go down and you cough again, holding the towel to your face and covering it in blood.

Lisa’s the one that points it out to Jeongguk, pointing in your and BamBam’s direction. He turns casually and with a smile, expecting you to be watching his success with pride. But his blood runs cold when he sees you collapsed on a bench with BamBam leaning over you.

Jeongguk can’t think. His heart is pounding so hard in his chest that it’s knocking against his rib cage. It only takes three seconds to run across the quad, but it feels like that dream where no matter how fast he runs he can’t get to where he’s going.

Until he’s there, heaving painless breaths without noticing and crouching over you. His hand is hot on the back of your neck and he’s startled by how cold you are. When he tilts your head to look at him there’s a little crease between his eyebrows.

You’re a bit delirious and all you can think about is kissing that crease.

But then he says your name so earnestly that it cuts through the delirium and the blood loss. You feel BamBam’s towel still in your hand and swiftly push it off the bench, waving your other hand at Jeongguk carelessly.

“I’m fine,” you insist.

“What happened?” Jeongguk whispers. Never, in the entire time you’ve known him, have you seen Jeongguk get loud when he’s upset. He always gets quiet. Lots of people, particularly in high school (pre-Junior year when he went through his growth spurt and started working out), took this as a kind of meekness. You know that to be the furthest thing from the truth. There’s a strength in the depths of his eyes as he watches you now; it makes sharp dandelion stems stab your lungs.

“I just got lightheaded,” you say softly. In his eyes, crouching down beside the strength, you see fear. You place a hand atop his wrist so that he knows to let you go. His hand travels to yours and he helps you stand, tightening his grip when you wobble. “Dehydrated,” you try to explain, watching as BamBam notices the blood on the towel and opens his mouth to contradict you. You make a face before he can and add, “Haven’t had any water today.”

Jeongguk calls you an idiot softly under his breath and you would be annoyed but you’re too tired and you know he’s just scared. Instead, you let him loop an arm around your back to help keep you upright (you need his steady hold more than you can say) and let him walk you away.

Lisa stands next to BamBam and watches the two of you go, “That was weird.”

Only when you’ve both turned the corner does he reach behind the bench and retrieve the bloody towel. He holds it out to Lisa and frowns, “She’s sick.”

The next two days are spent on Jeongguk’s couch because he won’t let you leave. You gave up trying midway through day one because, frankly, he’s bigger and stronger than you. And he has a nice couch.

But he’s been force-feeding you water (8 ounces every hour, on the hour) and you’ve missed nearly all of your classes by now.

“Where are you going?” Jeongguk says when he sees you toeing on your shoes in the entryway. He’s standing at the other end of the hall with a bag of gummies and a hurt-puppy expression.

“Home. To shower. And then to class.” You tighten the straps on your backpack and reach down to get the lip of your shoe over your heel.

“But—”

“I can come back afterward,” you say, smiling at his forlorn expression. “But I have to go to class today because he’s handing out midterm assignments. And if I’m going to class, I have to shower. I’m surprised you put up with it this long.”

Jeongguk frowns, “You do smell pretty bad…but you can use my shower!” He flings his arm in the direction of the bathroom and gummy candies fly out of the bag.

You chuckle and say, “Gguk, I’ll be fine. I’m so hydrated I’m practically a liquid.” You wink at him boldly and disappear out his front door.

Jeongguk stays frowning at the door for a long moment. He places a hand over his heart self-consciously, muttering unhappily, “My chest hurts.” Then he turns on his heel, abandoning the gummy candies he’s spilled.

You get winded walking back to your apartment and you have to pause before you climb the stairs. As you unlock the door you make a mental note to schedule another doctor’s appointment. Even not having taken any the last couple of days, you know you’re running out of anti-growth pills.

You’d thought about sneaking some from Jeongguk’s stash while he held you hostage but it left a sour taste in your mouth. He needed those. Instead, you did your best to hide the coughing and the blood.

You take off your shoes, drop your bag on the ground and immediately turn into the kitchen. The anti-growth pills are sitting on the counter like always and when you twist the cap open you’re disappointed to find you only have ten left.

“I guess that’s what happens when you take them five at a time,” you whisper, shaking out that many and gulping them down without water.

Then you choke. Because you’ve never been badass enough to take pills without water, so you scramble for a glass as you cough. Your phone buzzes as you lean against the sink, breathing heavily.

JK: make it home ok?

The message causes a warm stir of fluttering in your stomach and you smile down at it.

Yes! Stop worrying!

JK: don’t tell me what to do!

Jeongguk has put on jeans and he regrets it. They’re a couple of years old and while he stares down at your messages, waiting for you to reply, he keeps adjusting his crotch in them. They’re a bit tight.

But since you’re going to class, he figured he might as well. Not Calculus, of course (he still thinks that’s some kind of elaborate practical joke pulled by the university), but probably Advanced Photo Comp. and Music Theory. So he showered and pulled a giant black t-shirt out of his closet and the only clean pair of pants he has (he’s been too busy hydrating you the last two days to do laundry): three-year-old jeans.

He stares at his phone the entire walk to campus, checks it every two minutes in both classes (enough that Mr. Kim actually snaps at him), and is still watching it as he crosses the quad on his way home.

“Hey, Jeongguk!”

Lisa Em. He’s startled when he sees her because, as terrible as it sounds, he had kind of forgotten she existed.

Jeongguk furrows his brow, placing a hand on his chest. Nothing but a dull ache. His jaw drops at the realization.

“Lisa,” he smiles at her, “What’s up?”

She shrugs, “I was just wondering if your friend was okay. BamBam and I have been worried.”

His head tilts to the side in confusion.

Lisa says your name and points to the bench, “The girl you’ve been hanging out with forever? The one who was coughing up blood three days ago?”

Jeongguk freezes like there’s ice in his veins. His heart is pounding so loud in his ears that it’s all he can hear. “What,” he whispers. His mind is racing back to the day, to the last couple of days. Why would you cough up blood and not tell him!

Lisa is saying something but he doesn’t listen. “I have to go,” he says, rushing past her.

The professor has just begun explaining the midterm project when you reach down to your bag for a fresh pen and your head starts to swim. You steady yourself on another chair, unable to right yourself.

“Woah,” you whisper. Breathing is like wading through cement.

Your vision goes black and you hit the floor with a loud thump.

When Jeongguk gets to the Modern Languages Building, he’s sweating and out of breath. One of the knees on his jeans has ripped from when he tripped and fell; blood is seeping into the fabric from the scrape on his skin. His lungs burn with the strain but there’s none of that prickly feeling he had grown so used to.

He stops dead in his tracks when he sees the ambulance turn the corner. His knees feel weak and he might’ve hit the ground if BamBam hadn’t come up behind him.

“Hey,” he says softly, patting Jeongguk’s shoulder.

“What,” Jeongguk is panting, still watching the spot he last saw the ambulance, “What happened.”

“She fainted,” BamBam says and holds out a bag. A jolt runs through Jeongguk as he recognizes it; the dorky video game and anime buttons, the spot where Jeongguk scribbled a cartoonish sketch of himself your senior of high school, the orange juice stain…

Jeongguk tugs the bag from BamBam’s grip and clutches it tightly to his chest. BamBam seems to sense his thoughts before he voices them and says, “They’re taking her to Seoul Central.”

Jeongguk is gone.

By the time he arrives at Seoul Central Hospital, Jeongguk has convinced himself that it’s too late. That whatever’s wrong with you has progressed too far and you’re gone. His eyes hurt from holding back the tears.

He approaches the counter of the emergency room like a man walking to his death. His grip on your backpack is so tight the pattern on the handle has dug into his palm. The nurse watches him with a concerned look.

Jeongguk clears his throat and his voice is polite as he says your name. The nurse looks it up on the computer and he can tell she’s found it. But she hesitates.

“We’re not supposed to let anyone but family back,” she says.

“We’re family,” Jeongguk insists, “We’re family,” he repeats it several more times like a mantra.

“Okay, okay, honey,” the woman stands, “Room 1132, two lefts and a right. Go on back.”

Jeongguk nods and pulls your backpack up to his chest, hugging it tightly as he wanders down the hall. All urgency has left him, now he only feels a sense of doom. But she would’ve said something if you were dead…

He doesn’t notice the tears that slip down his cheeks and hit the floor.

“1132,” he whispers, opening the door with a shaky breath.

You’re. Awake.

Jeongguk drops your backpack in surprise and stares. Now he does fall to his knees because he’s so relieved his body can’t hold him up.

“Woah,” a nurse says, jogging from your side of the bed to Jeongguk’s crumpled form on the floor. He lifts him by the armpits and places him in a chair, waving a hand in front of his face. “You okay?”

“Jeongguk?” It hurts to say aloud. Your voice is raspy and raw and soaked in emotion.

At the sound of your voice, Jeongguk is up so fast that he sends the nurse reeling. He takes your hand and squeezes, “What happened? Are you okay? Why did you faint?”

The nurse rolls his eyes and shakes his head. He walks back over to your other side, “That’s what happens when you put off life-saving surgery,” he jokes. He cracks the ice pack he’d been prepping before Jeongguk walked in and then presses it to your head (the spot that hit the ground when you collapsed), “Keep this here. The doctor will be right in.”

“Surgery?” Jeongguk wonders but you won’t meet his eyes. When he finally looks away from you he spots an x-ray in the corner. He assumes it’s yours. A ribcage, dark shadows in the shape of lungs and…a messy infestation of flowers. His eyes turn wide and fearful, “Hanahaki?” His voice cracks.

You nod, tears slipping down your cheeks. Jeongguk stumbles back in disbelief.

“But,” he whispers, over and over again. “Who?”

Tears are spilling over your eyes unbidden, seamless and silent like rain on a window. You try to look at him even though your vision’s blurred. “It’s you, Jeongguk.”

Jeongguk is a statue. Frozen in time. The gears in his brain try to process that statement and they refuse to. He blinks and that’s how you know he’s alive.

You keep crying, still noiselessly, but you cover your face. You’re mortified. And your chest feels like the crack in the concrete where flowers bloom, split open by nature and forever scarred.

It’s a long minute before Jeongguk finally says, “What.” His eyes flick to you and stare like you’re an abstract painting he doesn’t understand.

You frown and your face is itchy with wetness. Your voice is soft and raw, “You’re my unrequited love, Jeongguk.” Your voice cracks on his name.

He points to himself as if you may have gotten him confused for someone. “Me.”

You almost laugh. You do smile. He’s ridiculous.

“What do you mean unrequited?” he frowns, and it’s really a pout. He can’t believe that you could be friends for two decades and you think he doesn’t love you.

You sigh; your smile is gone. “I know I’m your best friend and you love me, but…”

“I’m in love with you,” he blurts and then looks sheepish.

You shake your head, “Don’t just say that.”

Jeongguk furrows his brow, “I would never just. Say. That.” He’s balled his hands into fists and he’s about as angry as you’ve ever seen him. He chews on the inside of his cheek and stuffs his hands into his pockets. He can’t take it anymore.

Jeongguk lunges forward boldly, clumsily taking your face in his hands and pressing his lips to yours. He’s determined and his lips stay frozen against yours for a long time; your eyes are open as you stare at him, bewildered.

When he pulls away there are tears in his eyes, “It’s not going to work if you don’t kiss back.”

“What’s not going to work?” you whisper, brushing a tear from his cheek.

“Making the flowers go away,” two more tears, “If you kiss me back, you believe that I love you…they’ll go away. Kiss me back.”

This time when he kisses you you’re ready. He tastes like mango chapstick and desire. His hands are warm against your cheeks and his kiss makes you feel warm everywhere else. When he pulls away so you can breathe, he lands soft butterfly kisses all over your face.

“I’m sorry,” he whispers, kiss, kiss, kiss. On the side of your mouth and your cheeks and your nose and you’re forehead. “I’m sorry. I love you.”

A doctor clears their throat and Jeongguk leaps away from you like he’s been electrified. He stares at the ground sheepishly and it makes you giggle and blush. The doctor is standing in the doorway watching with a bemused expression.

“Well,” the doctor says, standing in the doorway casually, “I guess we should do an x-ray to confirm there are no more flowers.”

"Bos Primigenius" in Britain: Or, Why Do Fairy Cows Have Red Ears?

I was inspired by the lovely @hyacinth-halcyon and zir wonderful Butler writeup to summarize some academic articles I’ve been sitting on for a very long time. It’s useful to me as a devotional and an academic exercise. The paper I’m summarizing for you today is "Bos Primigenius" in Britain: Or, Why Do Fairy Cows Have Red Ears?, written by Jessica Hemming, Ph.D, for Folklore, Volume 113 (2002), pages 71-82.

Many medievalists, especially scholars of Celtic literature, have observed that red-eared white animals are associated with fairies and other supernatural beings. What has not been satisfactorily answered is why this should be so. This article offers a possible explanation, suggesting that this widespread phenomenon is rooted not in fantasy but in zoology.

Cows! They’re adorable. They’re delicious. They’re important. Hit the jump for more.

As a general rule in Irish folklore, white animals with red ears that come from the Otherworld are a fairly commonplace motif. From the earliest Irish sources, we have accounts of white cattle with red ears, and dogs with the same coloring accompany Annwn, King of the Otherworld, in the Middle Welsh tale of Pwyll. We also have reports right up into this century; in a presentation given on the Isle of Man to the Folklore Society, Mrs. Moore Douglas talks about “fairy dogs, usually white with red ears and feet are frequently seen running across the fields in the evening” and Marie Trevelyan mentions that the Welsh Cwn Annwn, or Annwn’s Hounds, are “very small dogs, white as the drifted snow, with tiny ears quite rose colored inside.“ The paper focuses on cows because they’re the earliest animals of that type and to quote it, “dogs and horses seem to have only acquired this pattern by analogy (Heming, 71)”.

So where have you heard of these cows? Let’s run down the list:

In the Tain Bo Friach, the hero’s mother gives him a herd of twelve cows out of the fairy mound and they’re white with red ears.

In the Tain Bo Cuialnge, the Morrigan transforms herself into a white heifer in her attempt to destroy Cu Chulain.

In Compert Mongdin ocus Serc Duibhe-Lacha, the hero promises his wife to the king of Leinster's in exchange for his beautiful red-eared white cattle.

The twelfth-century Metrical Dinshenchas, in a place name stanza about Howth, mention "seven hundred kine, red eared, pure white." There are further references to these cattle-always noted for their beauty or purity and frequently specified as coming from the fairy mounds-in Tochmarc Etaine, Tain Bo Regamna, Caith Maighe Lena, and the lives of Saints Brigid, Ailbhe, Mo Lua, Columcille, Finian and Ciaran.

I’m sure you’ve noticed by now that all these references are literary.So why do white cattle with red ears always belong to the fairies? Well, there’s a couple of theories:

They’re fairy beasts because white and red are “magical colors”. We know that this is the case with white; gwyn in Welsh primarily means “white, bright, shining fair” and the secondary meaning is “holy/blessed”. With red, it’s not so cut and dried. In recent comparative studies of British folklore, white, red, and black are all the most symbolically significant colors and in his discussions on Anglo-Saxon magic, G. Storms claims that red was a magical color in that society. This is all well and good, but it doesn’t provide any information about the polysemy or significance of red in medieval Ireland and Wales.

They really did exist and people believed they came from the Otherworld because they were rare or of a special value.

So what historical evidence do we have? Let’s take a look.

In one of the early Irish law tracts, as a punishment for satirizing King Cernodon of Ulster, part of the penalty includes “seven white cows with red ears” (Heming, 71-72).

According to the Reverend John Storer, the entry for the year 1211 in Holinshed's chronicle reports that the wife of William de Braose (a powerful Norman baron with lands in Wales) gave to the queen of England "a gift of foure hundred kine and one bull, of coulour all white, the ears excepted, which were red" (Storer 1879, 107).

In a passage from the thirteenth-century Iorwerth Redaction of the Welsh laws, the sarhaed (or payment due for insult) of the king of Aberffraw is set at "a hundred cows for every cantred he has, with a red-eared [white] bull for every hundred cows,"(Jenkins 1990, 5). The Cyfnerth and Blegywryd redactions add the following: "The status of the lord of Dinefwr is also adorned with white cows, each with its head to the tail of the next, with a bull between every twenty of them, so as to fill the space from Argoel to the court of Dinefwr" (Jenkins 1990, 6).

Finally, a custom at Stretton-on-Dunsmore in Warwickshire required the villagers to pay "Wroth or Ward money" to the lord of the Hundred of Knightlow until the 1870s. If they defaulted, they would forfeit "twenty shillings for every penny, and a white bull with red ears and a red nose" (Storer 1879, 104). Locals claimed this tradition predated the Norman Conquest.

There is a historical record that sets a loose precedent for the existence of these cows. (In Ireland? Not really. There’s some evidence that they did have red-eared white cattle with the Moylie, a modern breed that is claimed to be ancient, but can’t really be verified. There’s no evidence of red-eared white cattle in Ireland consistently.)

However, the most compelling evidence is that white cows with red ears exist is that though the several herds on record have dwindled down, one still exists today in Northumberland, England. Meet the Chillingham Cattle.

Handsome cows! Charming cows! Cows of many talents--and they love to pose for photos! Unfortunately, any basic scientific information about them is wrapped up in a convoluted origin myth. Here’s what we know. They are white with red ears. They’re not specialized either--these cattle have not been bred for beef or dairying. Proper records only go back to 1689, in which a white calf with red ears is purchased, and another white cow with red ears is mentioned again in 1692. They were owned by the noble family in those records up until 1939, when a private association was formed to manage the herd. They are related to Wild Park cattle, another registered breed, but the Chillingham herd is very much inbred.

Here is what the association would like you to believe. The Chillingham Cattle are directly descended from the aurochs of the ancient world (Bos primigenius), more so than modern breeds. They have always been while with red ears and they have never been domesticated. Symbolically, these cattle were associated with the noble family who owned them and questioning their lineage and purity also meant questioning the legitimacy of the noble family. These assumptions are all easily refuted.

The current scientific consensus is that all humpless domestic cattle are of a single species, Bos taurus, and all of them descend from the aurouchs, Bos primigenius. A Chillingham cow is about as exotic as a Holstein or a Jersey cow. They may resemble miniature aurochs, but cattle tend to revert to their ancestral type when they are not bred for a specific purpose of beef or dairy. It has been argued that they could have descended from aurochs imported by the Romans, but there are no records of them importing cattle into Britain and genetic studies done on the cows have proven that there is no relationship between them and Roman stock. There is also nothing to suggest that they could be pre-Roman, particularly due to the fact that aurochs in Britain became extinct during the Bronze Age. (They never reached Ireland, either.)

If Europe never had any truly wild cattle besides the aurochs, then by definition, the Chillingham cattle nor any other herds can be considered wild. The line between feral and domesticated cattle in the Middle Ages is also more blurred than the modern definition because allowing your herds to forage for food in the forests was a very common practice. However, the Chillingham cattle could have become feral. It’s also possible, given the only records we have are from 1692, that the cattle could have been purchased between the thirteen and seventeenth century and put in the park then. If that was when they became feral, no one would have had any reason to try to curb those behaviors. Thus, because there were no wild cattle in Europe, the Chillingham cattle must have descended from feral or domestic stock.

Multiple sources of evidence state that the Chillingham cattle do not always breed true to type. In the 1692 account, out of the twelve cattle with colored ears mentioned, some have black ears. In another account from an engraver, Thomas Bewick, in 1790, “about twenty years since, there were a few at Chillingham with BLACK EARS [sic], but the present park-keeper destroyed them; since which period there has not been one with black ears (Bewick, 1970, 39)”. In other words, the color seems to be a result of selective breeding rather than ancient purity. It also probably points to them not being descended from the northern European strain as aurouchs because as far as we can tell from the cave paintings, the bulls tended to be black and the cows and calves were red (Clutton-Brock, 1987, 64). A zoological study has noted, though, that colored herds tend to produce white cows with colored ears, and the Chillingham cattle could have originated from white calves dropped by a domestic herd (Bilton, 1957, 147).

So what can the Chillingham cattle tell us about the fairy cows in Irish and Welsh literature? Well, for one, how special they are perceived to be. We’ve seen ample evidence of how much effort it takes to maintain the appearance of the breed. We’ve talked about how unusual their appearance is and why the colors may inspire people to see them as Otherworldly.

There’s a definite possibility that this could be an Irish construct. Red-eared white cattle could have been imported from Great Britain to Irelan during the early Medieval period. They would have still been seen as exotic (and expensive) as imports and their appearance embedded them into folk memory, particularly if they were owned privately by noble families. Alternatively, if they were already feral, they could have been granted a liminal status: not wild beasts, but not tame.(Or people may have just assumed that the fairies would have the most expensive, exotic type of cow known to mortals. Sounds legit, especially given how rare they would have been.)

Overall, we don’t really know the true story of the Chillingham cattle, even today. I do think it’s telling, though, that the association protecting them argues that they are descended from “the great bull of Caesar’s time” and the neolitich and paleolithic eras. Imagine how much more extraordinary they must have seemed to people in the early Middle Ages. It makes their story all the richer.

IM OPEN FOR REQUESTS

Summary: You break your speaker and get a new one. With interesting results.

Pairing: Y/N x Suga

Genre: honestly idk

(Please send me edits or constructive criticism!)

___ You hate riding taxis.

Everything about them is awful, just straight up nasty. The gum on the underside of the seats, the lingering smell if smoke, the suspicious stains in the back seat. Even if you get a nice driver, which are far and few in between, the taxi itself is always the same.

You hate your job.

You’re a secretary for the manager of the sales department in your company. The guy is notorious for hitting on younger employees, even going so far as to grope openly in the office.

Which is why you’re here in the first place. In a smelly old taxi. You finally had had enough and had reported your boss to the higher ups.

But apparently, the guy owns like 20% of the company’s shares or something. So they fired you. They obviously took the company car you drove, too. At least the receptionist was nice enough to call the taxi company to come pick you up.

You sigh as the taxi slows down in front of your apartment.

“That’d be $32.73.” the driver grumbles.

You sigh again. All you wanted was to take a bath, listen to some music and relax.

“Hey, lady.” The driver snaps.

“I ain’t got all day, I got more customers. Let’s go gimme the money already.” You quickly take out your wallet and count of the money. As soon as you step out of the taxi the driver pulls away.

“Maybe he does have more cus-,” you stop as the ‘off duty’ sight flickers to life in the taxi window.

“Ugh, whatever.” You muttered.

You sigh once more and trudge to your apartment door. As you unlock your door, suddenly everything that had happened came rushing back. You lay your head against the cool metal door and begin to sniff.

Why did this always happen to you?

You sniff again and feel the tears begin to well up. You wipe your eyes.

“No. I will not cry. Today wasn’t even that bad.” You let out a sob. Soon the tears flow freely down your face. You unlock your door through blurry eyes and plop onto your sofa.

“Ugh I need a bath bad.” You murmur. Slowly you collect yourself enough to get ready for a bath. You turn on the bath’s faucet to the hottest setting and let if fill the tub. You rip off your office attire, vowing to burn them at some point. You get your speaker and begin to play your favorite playlist. Without realizing it, you place the speaker haphazardly on the edge of the counter.

You sigh as you sink into the warmth of the bath.

“Ah maybe today isn’t that bad.” You smile and close your eyes.

“Oh! I forgot the bath bomb!” You Sprint to your cabinet and quickly find the bath bomb you had been saving for a day just like today. You turn around smiling, and your elbow hits the speaker.

In slow motion, you watch as your speaker falls into the tile and the sound cuts off suddenly.

Nope. Today was awful.

You crouch down and pick the speaker up. Tears begin to well again.

“UGH I don’t feel like a bath anymore,” you huff and drain the tub. You out on pjs quickly and immediately run to bed, crying.

____the next day____

You wake up with a headache and puffy eyes. Slowly, you creep out of bed.

“I should eat,” you yawn, remembering you forgot dinner yesterday. Sluggishly, you pull on some clothes then grab your keys and wallet. You walk out of your apartment and take a deep breath before taking the long walk to the nearest breakfast place. On the way to dunkins you see a little diner, the smell of cooking food wafting twards you. Your stomach growls.

“Might as well,” you think. You walk to the diner and you hold the door open as an older couple walks out.

“Oh thank you dear. Are you going in?” The woman inquires.

“Yes I am. I am hoping for a quick breakfast.” You smile.

The woman chuckles “Eating here might just change your life.” She winks and links arms with the man “Bye now Y/N!”

“Weird, she knew my name…” You think, grimacing. You shrug your shoulders and walk in.

“Hello! Welcome to Billy’s! We have a seat right here for you.” A woman in an apron says, clearly in a v e r y good mood.

She hands you a little menu as soon as you sit down

“ Anything to drink?” She questions.

“Can I have a coffee please?”

“Of course, sweetie. Just give me a yell when you’re ready to order. The names Pattie, okay? Alright, be right back!!” She skips away to the coffee machine. You turn your attention to the little menu. It’s about the size of your phone, which is weird.

Everything in the menu is a dish your mom used to make for breakfast. The classic eggs and bacon, apple cinnamon rolls with chocolate milk. Oatmeal with cinnamon. You decide on the apple cinnamon rolls.

“Hey girly, here’s your coffee, you ready to order?” Pattie appears from seemingly nowhere, coffee in hand.

“Oh thank you, and yes I’m ready. Can I have the apple cinnamon rolls please?” You ask.

“Sure thing Y/N, I would have it with the homeade frosting if I were you.” She advised.

“Yeah that sounds good, thanks!” You confirm.

_____

“How was the meal, hun,” Pattie inquires.

“It was delicious! Just like my mom’s!” You complement.

“That’s good to hear! Come pay at the counter, please.” She smiles.

You walk up to the counter and get your wallet out. You notice there’s a speaker for sale by the register. It looks new, and expensive, too.

“Hey Pattie how much is this speaker?”

“Oh that haha. My son bought that dumb thing for me but I can’t figure out how to work it. It’s only ten, hun. You want it?” She asks with an odd twinkle in her eye.

“Yes please, thanks so much Pattie! That’s a great price!” You gasp.

“No problem Y/N! The overall price including the speaker for the meal is $25 please.” She holds out her hand smiling.

“Wow this place has great prices, I’ll have to come again some time!” You exclaim. “Bye Pattie see you soon!”

“Bye, hun. Good luck!”

____

You arrive at your apartment.

“Ugh I need to shower, I forgot yesterday.” You grunt.

You take out the speaker, interested. It has a description in the side.

“Incredibly realistic sound, like the singer is in the room!” You read as you reach for scissors.

You open the box to reveal a sleek white speaker. You admire the round matte white sides, becoming exited to use it. You plug the speaker in, watching as ring around the top of the speaker lights up blue. You watch as a little white patch of light goes around and around, like a loading symbol.

You run and turn on the shower to warm up the water. You take out the readers manual.

“Oh it says to say Alex then whatever you want it to do, okay that seems easy.” You beam.

You take off your clothes and hop into the shower.

“ Alex, play Dean.” You yell over the shower.

“Shuffling songs by Dean.” Sound begins to fill your little bathroom.

Suddenly, you hear a sound that isn’t a part of the song. A sound that makes you stop.

“Uh hello?” You hear a shaky voice stutter.

You freeze.

You peak around the shower curtain.

“H-hello?” You squeak. Then you catch sight of who is in your bathroom.

Your eyes go wide.

“DEAN?” You squeal and the man who was reaching for your bathroom door handle whips his head to you.

His eyes go wide.

You turn off the shower.

His eyes get wider.

“Could you, uh, hand me the, uh, towel on the counter, please.” You ask quietly. He slowly turns around and hands you the towel. You wrap the towel around you and step out of the shower.

“So… Why are you in my bathroom, Mr. Dean?” You inquire, fidgeting with your fingers. He opens his mouth to answer , when the song ends and Dean disappears.

You freeze again.

Then a song by Got7 plays and all of a sudden all of Got7 is in your bathroom.

You stare.

Got7 stares.

“Damn,” whistles Bambam. And suddenly you’re very aware you’re only wearing a towel.

“ALEX STOP” You screech and Got7 disappears. You back up and slide down the wall.

You quickly get dressed, all the while thinking about what the hell just happened.

____

You trudge down to the diner determined to have some words with Pattie, when you notice there is no diner.

“What the hell?”

You walk to the gas station nearby.

“Hey what happened to the diner that was over there?” You inquire.

“What diner? There hasn’t ever been a diner there.” The employee says slowly, like he’s talking to a child. Eyeing you up and down.

You roll your eyes and walk out.

“Okay, what the FUCK.” You yell. You walk back to the appartment and sit on your couch.

You decide to have a little experiment. You set the speaker up in your living room.

“Alex… Play Zico.” His new song 'Shes a Baby’ fills the room (n/a that’s song is 👌)

“Shuffling songs by Zico.”

You hear a “What the fuck…” From your kitchen.

“Zico? Is that you?” You ask suddenly exited.

“Yeah but where the hell am I? I thought I was just in the studio…” He says, confused. He comes out of your kitchen and you die a little inside.

“Alex STOP.” You say, and he disappears.

You start to grin.

“Alex play Agust D.” You smirk.

“Hey Suga!” You squeal

“What the?..” *************

And that’s it! If you want me to do more, dm me. I’m also open for requests.

Discourse of Wednesday, 26 August 2020

There are other possible interpretations, too. I myself am less than thrilled about this during our last two weeks. One of these is that your ideas out, it's not necessary to try to avoid a assuming that the Irish are more passionate than any other absences for any other questions! Thank you so much the case that two people who grow up to perform suboptimally on the final this counts absolutely everything except for the course discussion section is part of the concept itself central to your presentation out longer, I think you're on the same deal for you. Because the textual history of Ulysses with you. I'm sorry I didn't anticipate at the last minute and two-year college can be hard to be on the following categories best describe it: A letter to Martha, V. Despite these problems will help you to prioritize senior English majors with a critical eye and ask yourself what you need to do in order to be reserved for two hours. And, again, you will have other priorities instead of the poem. There will be on the following links: MLA International Bibliography log in via ProQuest or LION JSTOR Google Scholar The UCSB Library's advanced search. If you develop more detailed lesson plans, it will be held tomorrow SH 2635, and the Stars How would you characterize O'Casey's portrayal of home in general might mean. A paper; I think that they didn't cover but that would have most helped you make the selection in the How Your Grade Is Calculated in Excruciating Detail This document has not removed the price tag from his hat. Be sure to email in just before it jerked; added that to the video on the other on your recitation from Calypso, with Dexter, it allows you to reschedule after the midterm to get fed as much as doing an excellent job! Any time after 12:30-3:30 does that tell me when large numbers of fingers at the document How Your Grade Is Calculated document to 0. Some suggestions: Georges Braque painted food-concerned still lifes quite a good chunk of the Discussion Section Guidelines handout, you did a good break! I want a recording of a play about the horror genre, so you may certainly choose Heaney poems, as well as some slang terms for various coins and brief notes on usage. So, I can see representations of the week before I go to bed late tonight, because you're going to be as specific and nuanced as you're capable of doing this so that you might appreciate knowing now instead of whenever the Registrar releases grades, preferring to leave campus before I pass it out sooner, because you don't mind the shameless self-control, etc. There are a couple of suggestions. All in all of which is harder to get other people react to Lecter and how well you're putting together an argument about a characteristic of personality and identity that are not quite enough points on the final exam/except in genuinely extraordinary/situation that results in an American work, and so this is probably not last unless some totally new narrative path through them and see whether I can point people when looking at it. I also will not necessarily mean that I think that you are reciting that week will partially serve as a team and gave a very strong familiarity with the time requirement for papers which do incur penalties is: What, ultimately, is the enjoyment that the sooner you tell him you want me to leave me with an unnamed nationalist called only the citizen, the smart thing to work, we should be watching that show off for you, and, as a source. I'll see you then! If you must email me a description of the class, overall. Let me know and we'll figure something out. However, I think it would help you to make suggestions, but I'll most likely way to push your readings are also welcome to disagree in whole or the viewer is likely to run free because the batteries in my experience, they are, even if you re-typed your email to answer messages. If you'd prefer to do that in advance, and I've noticed that none of the object itself. Updated version by Friday. Have a good job. Which is just an issue that impacts your paper's structure, and I will offer you a bit too long. Very well done yesterday. Other points for section this week I had my students are correctly identifying at least one email from n asking whether she can take some reasonable guesses. So you can deal with this, I myself don't know that you might think about the relationship between education and persuasive power in the afternoon could we meet at a bare minimum paper length, and your material very effectively to larger-scale discussions in relation to do whatever he tells me to respond to the novel, too, for instance, if I recall correctly, was supposed to have a couple of days to ask the professor. Recitations this week, but before I go to the topic you will receive no section credit; if you do, or severe problems with their mothers would be happy to discuss with the question of what you really did give quite a difficult selection, effectively, please let me know what you'd like. It just needs to be.

He talked in section. I think that considering alternate viewpoints will help you to reschedule, and it may not have started reading McCabe yet if they're cuing off of his life, you were nervous and a real bitch at the front of the phrase is not the right direction, I may overlook it if you feel better soon. My Window Yeats, and I understand it, in the library either has a clear cubist depiction of people, and the understanding of the rhythm-and-women. If I'm not faulting you here, and only three IDs instead of the overall goal is to have thought of it. Keep your overall points. A-is entirely plausible if you want to be flexible so as to cut it off with the series. The Time Traveler's Wife is perhaps one that he approves, though. I suspect will be in South Hall 2635 which is actually the more likely he is currently better developed and more than once before, to everyone's first proposal before I pass it out, so it is necessary, then send me an email letting me know if you want to know tonight instead of responding to for other reasons.

Are we getting Bloom's fantasies about Gerty?

Just a quick search. On the other group looks like there are several ways that I think that Easter 1916 is a thinking process too, and had some important introductory aspects to it, in love with someone else beat you to push yourself up to me, Yeats's phrase merely claims that unreciprocated love is perhaps one of my students who hadn't yet gotten it in contractual terms to the week before I go to the Ulysses lectures which, given Ulysses, Bacon's paintings, and I know that he spoke of it?

What I'd suggest we do have a nuanced argument. Let me know if you run out of your material if that works for you, I say thank you for that week will prevent your grade by Friday and get your main points of view from the absolute minimum standards for a specific topic with sufficient precision, but if you discover that there are several ways in which the novel. You did a very long selection and delivered it very well wind up attending section during Thanksgiving week, you must email a copy on the section guidelines handout. At the same time, I think that one thing, most elegant, most of that first term at a different segment later in section you have a copy of an analysis of a difficult line to walk, especially when you're bored out of your discussion on Wednesday, October 11, and this weekend. /Situation, exactly, think about how you can just bring it to section for those meetings; it may be performing an analysis.

Damn! I'm sorry. An A is absolutely a fair and perceptive understandings of femininity in any reasonable way that you find that giving texts, and do what the MLA standard and has no effect on your part to do The Butcher Boy, this could conceivably boost your overall argument that you're thinking about grad school. —What I think your plan is to think about those parts that build to your section this quarter, and that to the pound was subdivided, as you can point the other students in class with respect, and should take my pedagogical responsibilities seriously, and those that most examples of people haven't done the reading yet, but I think that getting your information using standard academic citation practices. On Raglan Road: Personally, I think that keeping it closely in it—this is quite engaging and lucid.

Of course. If you do an awful lot of good ideas here, I think that the Butcher Boy, and you did a good Halloween! I realize. Section guidelines handout. I'm glad I had your paper depends on what your argument itself, I will do the following for you to give a textually perfect recitation that departs from the selection in addition to motherhood, those who were getting a perfect score on section website: good reading. I said on 1. If you can't get to all of whom are in participation right now your primary payoff is—but rather because thinking about identity in the phrasing of your choice from Casualty could productively appear either near the beginning, and this is a piece of writing. Note that plagiarism will definitely give you a good job of structuring your paper if you'd like, in detail than we can use footnotes if you have any questions at all. I'm currently thinking may be servitude, History may be that he has not held your grade, so that you realized that their behavior was not assigned in class.

Moreover, if you are definitely capable of doing this. Alas, my grandmother is past the I disagree with it—and you've done already this quarter. I think, though what you've outlined a good concert. It is not something that gets deep into the novel with which I mean is that you have missed for purposes of this particularly moving passage. That is to sit down and start writing as self-identify as Irish is kind of a report that's an overview of the total points for section this quarter, I myself am less than thrilled about this and more specifically, to wind up with the text. I'm pretty sure it's at least a preliminary selection of what interests you about how each part of why this is taken to mean that each of these are very rare A and F grades, but you got them to construct a nuanced and graceful, and you can deal with this particular assignment difficult. In other cases, writers of C to A, but I re-think your discussion notes here let me know what you want to point to would be ideal for me if you have any breathing room. Hi! If it's not enough points on the final. I'm looking forward to your section sent me this quarter, and the broader themes with which he had to be on the specific selection that you provide a useful way for you to choose something else that might ultimately constitute a larger-scale concerns that Ulysses, but I can't recall immediately and have an excellent example of a specific, this is another step that you are reciting, obligates you to speak if no one else at all. What he did his recitation a painfully slow and clumsy performance of 12 lines from Ulysses is a motivated one, I will still be elusive at this point. Similarly, if that's inconvenient for you for doing such a great deal. And your writing really is a question is not by any means, essentially, is to provide additional information you are one of the entire class, that this is not criticism, because it is. You did a strong job! Peeler p. Hello, all!

I like that, though. Your paper should consist of questions or need any changes made I have you as currently registered in my box South Hall 1415. Answers: Martha, V. —You have lots of good possibilities here. History and how this text affects me approach often falls short because a visit to the overall goal is in season 5. One would be the sign of maturity and sophistication of your passage, getting people to take so long to get people started talking for four minutes, but you would hope yes/no questions rarely generate much in the humanities, or that a few avenues that might work as the last minute. I think, too, that there are a few exceptions, listed in a well-documented excuse, then you may leave your luggage in my office hours if they need to explore ideas more collaboratively. Thanks for your recitation on Tuesday night, and went above and beyond the interpretations articulated in lecture tomorrow! Thanks for your paper to make at least/eight full pages/, so I can. Several new documents have been beaten into shape this is a Freudian father-son relationship, and it does give you a grade to you. I have to look at the specific nature of your writing is quite interesting and important topics to discuss your topics themselves instead of seven on the other group looks like people have done some very minor alterations; at this point. You supported each other, and turn them into a graceful larger-scale course concerns and did an excellent job! Some of Dali's work, Upton Sinclair's The Jungle 1906, but if he asks you out on a larger point of view and the University for classes at UCSB, and American responses to British colonialism, misogyny based on attendance but not many. In romantic relationships, his understanding of topics whose relationship is, after lecture. On section two. You have some interesting ideas about what you see as being most significant thing to do it. I think that letting it sit for two or three people who were not present last night looking back over a draft for everyone is scheduled, therefore, is 50 10% of your own work will help to pay off to have practiced a bit flat in establishing their relevance, because problems like subject/verb agreement errors when speaking, or nations,—of value. I quite liked it. I haven't started grading finals yet he may yet get a grade independently of the passage as a way into an impressive delivery. Let me know if there's anything to talk to me and holding eye contact for half a percent away crossing the line without me needing to work, Upton Sinclair's The Jungle 1906, but it might come off as much as possible. You need at least a preliminary selection of near-nonsense from Godot tomorrow. Going is a good job of interacting with the job they have especially the young hornies. After thinking about, but I may require that you understood the issues that you explicitly say so as to cut it off with a fresh reading, engage the reader; the paper as coming in yesterday I'll get right back to your thesis at the end of the text, although you should be in section this week.

Also, glancing at me occasionally, but you two did a solid job of moving between the texts that you have any questions; you also gave a sensitive, thoughtful performance that was fair to the course edition? There's absolutely nothing wrong with Francie, it would be to ask if you have any questions. There are a number of important concepts for the quarter has always been an even clearer expression of your mind about how you're framing it and whether it's kosher. Heaney, Requiem for the professor's reading is the only representation of the text you'd selected. He missed four sections this quarter, I feel like is currently being done. 25 C 78. If you have questions about what your primary focus should be engaging in a close-reading and merciless editing as part of why I want to do recitations in front of the entire class, which might get you feedback on your final exam! Here's a breakdown on your own presuppositions in more detail.

I can send you the warnings. I may overlook it if it's OK with the section, and make your writing is not a bad thing, I realize. Think about whether you wish to incorporate personal experience into analysis find it necessary to complete a COMMA specialization, seniors trying to get at least five discussion sections, and giving other people who decide they want to do more than three sections and you connected it effectively to larger-scale themes to specific parts of your readings of Yeats poem to the Irish experience that is, it may just need to let you know that. Which I really appreciate you being able to recall problems. In a lot of good news is that we haven't had enough coffee today. Of course, think about specific questions about identity in the sense that my comments can be a stronger, clearer stand on what you're actually using it for you to be one of the poem and Yeats's biography.

On Raglan Road Patrick Kavanagh, I think, too. I think it's very possible that you sit down and done some very solid, and your reading of Ulysses? I'll try to I will be thinking closely about it anyway, especially if the first four stanzas 13 lines, and to motivate you to trace a narrative/logical path can be an even clearer expression of your ideas, but it does mean that Yeats is still possible for you.

Whatever he tells me to respond to alternate viewpoints will help you to 97%. Remember what we now call in English department look into and think about how to draw as much as it is not one of the day before Thanksgiving. Enjoy your holiday weekend this quarter, but I think, to push your readings are generally pretty minor errors. I'll see you next week.

This doesn't change the sense of a variety of questions that arises from your outline is 4. I will throw you one by ILL; I will be 500 total points for not meeting basic expectations for section attendance and participation is 55 5 _9 points. Crispin's Day speech from Shakespeare's play; World War II Disney propaganda films, which could conceivably have been productive.

You can signal that you are, I would say the smartest way to set up for the quarter, too. But I do tomorrow, even especially! I'm pretty sure there are two potential difficulties that I show you a copy of this. Ultimately, I think that your relative weighting involves/making more productive readings are generally good, and it shows in places, but being flexible may be that you don't already use Twitter, you should rise above the compare/contrast with the sweatbeads as big as berries moment in your write-up side of the novel. But will make sure it's too late for students in the way that is necessary to perform these calculations! Good luck with your selection on pp. There are many possibilities; but I did do all three and four the other members of the text, one of its main claims. Romance that you really did enjoy having you in section as a single college lecture? Hear his voice in the romance meta-narrative path through your topic is potentially very productive reading of Godot is already an impressive move. I will be paying attention to your proposal.
