[chicky delivery boy]: your order is 5 minutes away! 

At the arrival of the text, you scrambled out of your position on the couch and quickly began to clear away the dirty dishes on your coffee table and the used tissues that had accumulated over the course of the day. You weren’t quite sure what ghost of Christmas past possessed you to continue your annual tradition of binging cheesy holiday movies all day, but you supposed it was because you were at a loss for what to do at all. You had spent the last two Christmases with that asshole. It wasn’t like you could call up your friends to hang out with you today; no, they were lucky enough to have nice boyfriends who didn’t break up with them two months before the holidays. And you definitely weren’t going to go out on the town by yourself, only to be forced to watch all the happy couples cuddle close to each other in the cold. 

So here you were, alone in your apartment, waiting on your fried chicken to be delivered.

It seemed to be the one constant in your life amongst the aftermath of your chaotic break up. Whenever you made an order, it would arrive at your doorstep within thirty minutes, always warm and always comforting. Although you wouldn’t quite say that Joy’s Chicken was the best chicken restaurant in the area (the family-owned joint two blocks over was definitely much tastier), it still managed to become your go-to after the delivery person from the family restaurant got lost on their way to your apartment for the third time. That, and once your order had arrived on your doorstep, brought to you by a dimpled, dark-haired delivery boy, you quickly decided that the restaurant had its own charms.

“Coming!” you called out to the gentle knock at the front door, skipping across your living room to reach it. After checking your reflection in the mirror hanging in the hallway, you swung the door open, smiling brightly. “Finally, I’m starving-- what happened to you?” 

“Hello to you too, sweetheart,” the boy said with a chuckle, voice muffled by the scarf wrapped tightly around his face. You reached over to pull down the scarf to reveal that he was smiling back at you, though you did note that his lips were pale and his teeth were chattering. The thick, puffy coat he wore could only do so much when he was covered with a snow from head to toe. You watched as some of it crumbled off of his shoulders when he shuffled to take your food out of an insulator. Today, the box had a cute little bow stuck to the top of it.  “Merry Christmas! This is for you.” 

You took the bag from his hands, but, as usual, you didn’t close the door right away. “Seungcheol, you look like a marshmallow.” 

“Wow, I take it you didn’t get a present for me?” He leaned against your doorframe, a pout now on his lips. “I wish I was a marshmallow. Then I could jump into some hot chocolate and finally feel warm. It’s been snowing non-stop out there since 7PM.” 

At this, you felt a small twinge of guilt for being one of his orders tonight, especially knowing that Seungcheol would often make your deliveries by foot since you didn’t live too far from Joy’s. “Does your shift end soon at least?” 

“Yeah, we’re closing a little earlier today since the boss has Christmas plans! You’re actually my last delivery for tonight.”

“Oh well, if that’s the case,” you said tentatively, stepping to the side. “Would you like to come in for some hot chocolate before you have to head back into the storm? It’s the least I could do since I did forget to get you a present.”

The boy’s eyebrows shot up in surprise, but his grin remained, albeit a bit amused. Now some would say that inviting some random guy into your apartment just because you didn’t want to be alone on Christmas was probably not the best idea, but Seungcheol was definitely not just some random guy. Every Friday for the past eight or so weeks, Seungcheol had arrived at your doorstep with a box of chicken with your name on it. He probably came by more frequently than your regular friends now that you really thought about it. After the first couple of times he delivered, he decided to introduce himself to you since he thought it was unfair that he already knew your name and you only saw him as the guy that brings your chicken (which wasn’t entirely true-- you saw him as the cute guy that brings you your chicken). 

“Unless you have your own Christmas plans to get to, of course,” you quickly added. Admittedly, your conversations with Seungcheol only ever extended to silly banter, so there was no telling what his life was like beyond the threshold of your doorstep. For all you knew, he could very well have a get together planned with his friends or a dinner with his family. Or a date with a girlfriend. 

“I mean, I was planning on watching Die Hard by myself again, but I think I can be a little late for that,” Seungcheol mused playfully. You couldn’t keep the wide smile from spreading across your lips as you moved back to allow him to step into your apartment for the first time. He took off his shoes and shrugged off his thick coat before following you to your small kitchen. 

“Don’t worry, I won’t keep you too long,” you said, and reached over him to grab two mugs from a cabinet. 

“I mean, you can keep me for as long as you like,” he shrugged, but you were quick to catch the mischievous twinkle in his eye. You suddenly realized that this was the closest you’ve ever stood together and turned away to begin preparing the hot chocolate in the hopes of hiding how flustered you felt. 

“Anyway uh--” you cleared your throat, but it was proving difficult to think up a conversation starter when you could feel Seungcheol so close. You chanced a glance over at him, noting how he was still rubbing his hands together and shuffling in his spot to warm himself up. “Oh no, you must be freezing.”

He shook his head, but you could see how the snow that had clung to his clothes was slowly melting and soaking into the fabric of his hoodie. “I’m fine. Though I’m definitely not as warm as you.” You followed his gaze down to the festive pajama set you had been wearing all day, which was patterned with reindeers and sleighs, and you reached over to shove at his chest lightly. 

“I was doing laundry and this is all I had!” Your voice can barely be heard over the boy’s gleeful snickering. It was now your turn to pout at him. “You know what, it’s actually really bad to stand around in cold, wet clothes. You might get sick. And lucky for you, since I am such a caring person, I have precisely the outfit that will save you from such a fate.”

“Oh no, that’s fine--”

Before he could finish, you had already whisked away to your room and returned with a folded set of pajamas that clearly matched your own. You gave him a cute little smile as you handed it to him. “No, I insist! I’ll even put your wet clothes in the dryer so that you can properly get nice and warm.” At this point, Seungcheol narrowed his eyes at you. “What?”

“You just happened to have couple pajamas at the ready?” Seungcheol hummed. “Seems like you were planning this for a while now, sweetheart.” 

“What, no! I got them on sale last year!” 

“Mm, a likely story,” he said, ducking away just in time to avoid your poke attack. Despite his teasing, he still asked you where the bathroom is, and you nearly let out a long sigh when he’s out of sight. Your heart felt like it was about to burst from your chest, but you weren’t quite sure why. Were you nervous? Scared? If you were honest, everything about Seungcheol put you at ease; plus, nothing about your interactions with him changed other than proximity. So why did you feel so sheepish when he teased and joked around like he always did?

While he was changing, you finished preparing the hot chocolate, topping them off with some whipped cream, and brought your mugs and your box of chicken into the living room. A small window in your apartment showcased the sky outside, which was dark and dotted with heavy sheets of snow, contrasting with your living room’s warm glow from the light of your small Christmas tree. It made you feel perfectly cozy, especially with the hot cup of cocoa in your palms. 

“Ta-dah! How do I look?” Seungcheol announced, walking out to you. The sight of him grinning at you goofily and clad proudly in the matching pajamas only made the fuzzy more prominent until it made your smile just as wide as his. There it was again-- that perplexing heart beat of yours. It accelerated as he came to take a seat beside you on the couch. 

“A lot warmer!” You handed him his hot chocolate. “Here is the promised beverage. Merry Christmas, Seungcheol.” 

“I was hoping to hear something more along the lines of ‘blindingly handsome’,” he sighed out dramatically, taking a sip of his drink. Immediately, his eyes lit up. “But I’ll let it slide this time, because this is delicious.”

A small giggle slipped past your lips as you watched him drink his hot chocolate with gusto, and when he reemerged from behind his mug, you couldn’t hold back a loud snort seeing how his top lip was decorated with a proper mustache of white cream. You nearly fell over from laughing so hard at his confused expression

“What? What is it?” he asked, his eyebrows furrowing. Between your bursts of laughter, you managed to point at his lips. He reached up and playfully clenched his jaw when he felt the cream covering his mouth. “Oh, you it’s that funny, huh?” He swiped up some of the remaining whipped cream in his mug onto his finger and reached over to place it on your nose. 

“Hey!” You scrunch your nose. For a moment, the two of you simply looked at each other before bursting into another fit of giggles. “You’re Santa Claus and I’m Rudolph.”

Still chuckling, Seungcheol grabbed a tissue from your coffee table and wiped at his lips, then cleaned off the dollop he had placed on your nose. Your laughter subsided at how such a simple action also felt so intimate. You did your best to avoid his twinkling gaze if only to calm yourself.

 “You know, when I took on the responsibility of warming you up, I wasn’t expecting you to be such a handful,” you admitted jokingly, though some parts of you meant it. Namely your easily excitable heart.

“Oh yeah? Well, I wasn’t expecting you to take so long.” 

You turned to face him once again. “I gave you fresh pajamas and some hot chocolate! You’re still not warmed up?”

“They’re not taking effect fast enough!” he insisted with another of his infamous pouts. 

“Then do you know a faster way?” you asked and almost instantly, Seungcheol expression changes, but this time it’s not a mischievous smile or a childish pout. It’s something softer, gentler. 

“Mm, I might know a quick way to warm up. Do you want me to show you?” he asked. You blinked, gaze meeting with Seungcheol’s eyes as he patiently waited for your reply. Despite the somersaults you felt in your chest, you were now more sure than ever that you didn’t feel nervous. Upon the realization what the feeling really was, your lips easily melted into a soft smile, and you gave him a nod. Without another moment’s hesitation, he leaned over to you and delivered a sweet, chaste kiss on your cheek.

The effect was instantaneous: Seungcheol’s ears were the first to go red as his entire face heated up. “I can’t believe I just did that,” he groaned out, covering his blushing face. “That was so cheesy!” 

“I thought it was cute!” you assured him, but your laughter does nothing to ease his cringing. 

“Don’t look at me for five minutes!” he whined.

“Seungcheol really, it’s okay!” 

“Just eat your chicken or something!”

Monday, September 2, 2019 9:05AM

This was not how Joohyun had imagined her first day at The Front. Whenever she described this moment to Jihoon, she was very clear about the way she would walk in so confidently that the senior writers would wonder why they forgot to email her an invite to their 8:30 meeting. Jihoon, who relished in raining on her parade, predicted that they wouldn’t even know her name. But she had no time for his blunt realism, because she had been living as a made-up person since June and her corporate daydreams were the only things keeping her sane. She knew it wasn’t going to be easy, but she figured that once they saw her talent, everything would be just fine.

So it’s not difficult to imagine Joohyun’s distress when she just barely stumbled into the office this morning, nursing a mind-melting hangover. 

She should have known she would be a goner when the sports section interns had challenged her to a drinking game at last night’s welcome party. Her drinking partner, a small girl interning at HR, had only made it two shots in before falling asleep on her lap. For the record, she had still made sure that she was the last intern standing (although she definitely wasn’t the same bright-eyed freshman that could chug a pitcher of soju and beer just to spite Jihoon). Looking around the office, she felt a little relieved to find that the other interns were suffering just as much as her, if their slumped positions and pained groans told her anything. So much for giving a good first impression.

Joohyun was trying her best not to look like she was two steps from an early grave when she was approached by a big woman with a laptop in her arms. She awkwardly bowed her head to greet her, but the woman’s gaze never left the screen of her Macbook. “Miss… Joonyoung?”

“Oh, that’s not--” 

“You’re the new advice column intern, correct?” 

“Oh. Yes, that’s me, but that’s not my--” 

“I’ll show you to your desk.” Without so much as a glance, the woman turned on her heel, now typing furiously on her laptop. Joohyun followed behind glumly.

This was all Jihoon’s fault. 

“So, how’s your first day going?” Jihoon asked over his bowl of ramen. He flagged down the tall waiter and ordered a bowl of rice.

“Fine,” was Joohyun’s curt answer. In truth, it was far from ideal. She had watched longingly as all the other interns were assigned with their first projects, while she was left with an empty inbox. How was she supposed to write an advice column when there was no one asking her for advice? She spent most of the morning familiarizing herself with the previous entries of The Front’s dating advice column, the most recent of which dated to the newspaper’s May issue… from 1997. 

When her supervisor told her to take a lunch break, she had made a beeline to meet Jihoon at the restaurant near the cafe he worked at. Now that she was sitting in front of him though, she wasn’t quite ready to confess that her dream job was much more mundane than she expected. “Hey, wasn’t this a fried chicken shop last semester?” 

“That bad, huh?” Jihoon clicked his tongue. Joohyun sighed - she didn’t know why she even tried to hide anything from him when he’s known her for 12 years. He probably knew some parts of her better than she did. “Come on Joo, don’t give up on Miss Soju so easily. It’s just because you’re a little hungover. We watched The Notebook like five times this summer! What more do you need to know about true love? Do you want me to set you up on another date with that freakishly tall dude for more hands-on experience? Ah, speak of the devil!” 

“Thanks, Mingyu.” Joohyun took the bowl of rice and gave the server a sweet smile, which greatly contrasted with the glare she shot at Jihoon soon after. The server, a stunning boy with jet-black hair and tanned skin, stuck his tongue out at Jihoon. She waited until Mingyu went to the other side of the restaurant to serve a rowdy group of boys to whisper-shout at Jihoon. “Can you try not to expose my identity to the whole campus before I even get the chance to write my first ever entry?” 

“Ohhh, that’s why you’re sulking. No one’s sent you a letter yet so you didn’t get to do anything today,” Jihoon said. It sometimes got annoying how he could read her like she was his worn-out copy of his favorite sports manga.  She had to admit though, he did find ways to make it worth it. Like when he said, “I might actually be able to help you with that one, if you want. I can make a little shout out for Miss Soju on my stream tonight. For a small price, of course.” 

“You’re streaming tonight?” The girl perked up from poking at her noodles. Over the past three years, Jihoon had built up a cult following through Woozi’s Universe, a Twitch stream where he shared music made by the underground artists on campus (including him). He only ever released new music on Mondays, so tonight would definitely have a large viewership. Joohyun immediately went into her business pose lest she show how eager she really was. “Well, what would you like in exchange, Mr. Lee?” 

“I merely request that you pay for my lunch today, Ms. So,” he replied. Joohyun looked in horror at Jihoon, a petite man who ate like he was three boys going through puberty; today alone he had had an extra-large bowl of ramen, three orders of rice, and two cans of Coke. 

Then, she imagined facing an empty inbox for the rest of the week. Yup, this was  definitely worth it. That didn’t stop her from making a show of taking out her wallet, taking care to sigh extra  loudly. She had to give Jihoon his moment to revel in his triumphs, otherwise he would get grumpy. 

Jihoon cackled giddily. “Pleasure doing business with you as always, Ms. So.” 

“Pretty sure my hangover is coming back.”

“Oh shit, shut up!” Jihoon suddenly yelped and ducked underneath the table.

“What the hell, Jih--” 

“No, don’t say my name! He might hear you and then I’ll have to talk to him,” Jihoon whispered, jerking his head towards a bright yellow blur skipping to the back of the restaurant. “He’s one of my fans. He found out I worked at the cafe and now he keeps coming in to talk to about how sad his sex life is.”

Joohyun pursed her lips and peeked a glance over. He had joined the table of rowdy boys.  “Hmm, maybe I should say hi... he seems like a potential Miss Soju reader.” 

“Just pay the check already, woman!” 

The new interns at The Front were not the only students sporting hangovers that day. This can only be expected of the second week back at MU. Sunday night had been the explosive finale of a full week of department welcome parties, happy reunions, and lots and lots of alcohol. Some of the incoming freshmen were convinced that Mansae University was not actually a school, but a training ground for surviving as many shots of soju as physically possible. That is until they woke up on Monday morning and still had to drag themselves to their 9AM’s, suddenly faced with the reality of what college really was: an endless cycle of perpetual hangovers and school work that’s due way too soon. 

This was all good news for the new ramen shop on campus, which had been serving the hoards of hungover zombies since 10AM. Vernon, who was in great pain from the night before, had been ambushed by his roommate after his morning class. He was brought to the restaurant under the pretense of curing his woes with a bowl of warm soup and noodles. When he caught sight of a man in red waiting for them at a back table though, he immediately knew what was actually coming. 

“Hello Vernonnie,” Seungcheol greeted him with a sly smile. “Care to take a seat next to me?”

“Uh, not really,” Vernon mumbled, but he sat down anyway. He scrunched his nose at his roommate as the boy slumped into the seat in front of him. “Traitor.”

“Sorry babe, Seungcheol hyung promised me free lunch. Also, you’re one to talk, after you abandoned me to fend for myself last night--! Ugh,” his roommate, Seungkwan, clutched at his head, where a rusty hammer persistently tapped away at his temple. “Hyung, why did you do this to me? My face is gonna be bloated for the rest of the week. I have an audition in two days, you know!” 

“Hey, I did ask you if you were sure you wanted-- what was that you ordered? Oh yeah-- ‘the strongest drink that is legal to serve in South Korea’!” Seungcheol said, his eyes wide. As he got more defensive, he began to point his finger excessively at Seungkwan. “And what was it all for? To impress your new crush?” 

“I am way too hungover to get lectured by a couple of hypocrites,” Seungkwan grumbled. “I was trying to get some inspiration, you know, a drunken spark of genius! How else am I supposed to figure out how to confess to them?”

“Okay, I wasn’t actually asking,” Seungcheol ignored Seungkwan’s offended gasp in favor of turning his attention to a fidgeting Vernon. His cherry red lips now returned to its wide grin. “I am here to discuss where our dearest Vernon went off to last night.” 

“Um.” Vernon answered with a nervous smile. “I just went home early--”

“Bullshit!” Seungkwan looked absolutely scandalized. “It wasn’t enough to abandon me, so now you’re lying too? I don’t know if I can take much more of this!” 

Vernon had only officially known Seungkwan for two whole weeks, but with the way the two had been inseparable since move-in day, everyone at the freshmen dorms had assumed that they had known each other for years and years. He knew that someone like Boo Seungkwan was a rare find as far as random dorm assignments went, and that not everyone was so lucky to have a roommate that reminds them to eat real food once in a while or a friend who’s willing to take care of them when they get their first real hangover. Just for that day alone, Vernon knew that Seungkwan deserved to know where he went. Plus he shared a room with him, so it’s not like he could hide anything anyway.

Seungcheol shook his head and slung an arm around Vernon’s shoulder. His grip wasn’t tight but firm enough that Vernon knew he was trapped there until he confessed the truth. “Look, I don’t need any details! I just wanted to make sure that you’re staying safe and all that junk. Also, I would like to know what base you got to.” He erupted into a fit of giggles, but soon cleared his throat to return to his investigation. “Really though, tell us what happened.” 

It wasn’t like Vernon didn’t want to tell Seungcheol either. Vernon’s and Seungcheol’s families had known each other since the two boys were in middle and high school, and when he found out that Seungcheol would be a senior at Mansae University that year, he felt some of his nerves ease up about moving out. Seungcheol had always been like an older brother to him, and was always there when he needed his help in high school. He trusted him! 

That’s probably why he subconsciously blamed Seungcheol for the pain he was going through at the moment. When the upperclassman had offered to sneak Vernon and Seungkwan into a party at the karaoke bar that he bartended at, the two freshmen all too eagerly accepted without thinking of any consequences. They had received no pointers, no words of caution. How were they supposed to know that bar parties were completely different from welcome dinners? And how was Seungkwan supposed to know that downing so many cocktails within the hour wasn’t a good idea? Most importantly, how was Vernon supposed to know that he would meet someone like her there? Vernon groaned into his hands as he could no longer resist the flood of memories from the night before, and leaned into Seungcheol’s shoulder as he tried to recoil from his past self. “Hyung, it hurts too much to say out loud.”

“It’s okay buddy, take your time,” Seungcheol patted his head gently and called the tall server over. Vernon continued to let out unintelligible noises of regret while the senior ordered bowls for all three of them. “How are you even hungover right now? I only remember giving you one drink last night before you went off with--”

“I’m not hungover.”

“Oh. Then what are you?”

“An idiot,” Vernon mumbled through his fingers. “A big, cringy idiot.” 

Seungkwan raised his hand, looking frantically between the two boys. “Excuse me? Did I miss the reading homework? Went off with who? Last night? What? How drunk was I?!” 

“Very drunk, but that’s not why you didn’t notice Vernon’s new friend. You were a little occupied with your own conquest,” Seungcheol stage-whispered from across the table. “Honestly, you two are wild. It’s only two weeks into fall semester and you’re already out here simping.”

“Um, and? I saw you making googly eyes at several ladies last night!” The higher Seungkwan’s voice rose, the harder the rusty hammer banged inside his head. “Ow.”

“Those were just my friends who happened to be ladies! Sorry that my eyes are just naturally soft and alluring,” Seungcheol said, batting his long, dark lashes at the boy. “What were her eyes like, Vernon? I only noticed that she had a nose ring. Couldn’t really see her properly while you two were ‘talking’ in the corner...” 

“The corner! A nose ring!” Seungkwan repeated and clutched at his chest. “Tell me more.” 

“We were just talking!” Vernon finally spoke, his face stuck in an embarrassed grimace. “There’s not really much more to tell. I just know that she’s the coolest girl I’ve ever met and I’ll never meet anyone like her again.”

“What! You two were talking for like two hours! And I saw you leaving with her!” Seungcheol said a little too loudly for Vernon’s liking. The server gingerly approached their table with their orders, setting the bowls down as quickly as possible before rushing away. Vernon noted to give him a big tip when they left. “Don’t tell us that’s all.”

“I just dropped her off at her apartment and went back to the dorms,” Vernon confirmed to Seungcheol’s horror. “I really didn’t want it to be just last night.”

“So... you asked her out?” 

“No.”

“You got her number?”

“No.”

“Her Instagram? Her Twitter? Her student ID number? Do you even know her name?” 

“I already said I was an idiot,” Vernon whined. “This is exactly why I didn’t want to talk about it. But yes, I did at least get her name.”

It was the only thing he could think of since he woke up. She was the only thing he could think of since he woke up. The way her eyes had lit up while they talked about her major. The way her lips had curved into a clever smile when she told a joke. The way her small hand had fit in his as they walked to her apartment. Then, he would remember how he completely fucked it all up before he started, and his headache would return full-force. 

“Dude.” Seungcheol fixed him with a stern stare, but it was kind of hard to take him seriously when his mouth was full of noodles. “Have you never asked a girl out before?”

“You know I have! I don’t know what happened either, okay? I guess I just froze up when she looked at me… then I just went home after telling her good night.”

Seungcheol feigned a gag. “Gross. I was joking earlier, but you’re an actual simp. Hate to break it to you like this.” 

“I think it’s sweet,” Seungkwan piped up from where he comfortably rested his head on the table.

“That’s nice, Seungkwan, but ‘sweet’ isn’t gonna get either of you laid,” Seungcheol chuckled. “Vernon, your girl was clearly waiting for you to make the next move. Trust me, girls don’t just ask anyone to walk them home.”

“I didn’t want to look like a creep!” Vernon sullenly stared down at his untouched bowl of noodles. “What am I supposed to do now, hyung?”

“Yeah, lend us your wisdom, O Alluring One,” Seungkwan chanted. “You clearly have plenty of experience from the past three years. 

“Like I said, I just have a lot of friends,” Seungcheol shrugged, then suddenly checked the time on his phone. “Oh shit--  speaking of friends, I have to meet one for a study session at her apartment in 15 minutes.”

“Sounds nasty.”

“Your mom’s nasty,” Seungcheol retorted with a provocative smile. “Get your mind out of the gutter, Boo! Then maybe you’d be able to think of how to confess.”

“Uncalled for!”

He placed several bills on the table and checked his phone again. “This should be enough to cover lunch, kiddos. I wish I could help you two, but I’m booked for the rest of the day. And the week.”

“But what if I meet her again?” Vernon asked desperately. 

“Then text me! I might not reply right away though. I’ve got two classes later and then I have dinner plans--”

“Another girl I presume--”

“Shut up! I also have to go to the gym before doing… uh, doing a thing. And then I have a shift at 24H.” Seungcheol stood up and looked at the distressed boys before him, his soft eyes more affectionate than alluring. Was he like this as a freshman? He reached over to ruffle the freshmans' heads. “You two should probably leave soon, too. I’ll see y’all later!” 

And just like that, Seungcheol was gone, and Vernon was once again left without any advice from the senior. Vernon was never one for dramatics, but his personal failures felt like a gray cloud of shame hanging over him. He began to worry that he was just gonna have to live like this forever, because nothing in the world was bright enough to break through his doom and gloom (well, her smile probably could, but Vernon was never going to see that again). The fact that Seungkwan seemed like he was about to Train to Busan his ass any minute now didn’t really lift his spirits either.

Lucky for him, the universe was not going to let him give up so easily. At that moment, a boy with glaringly yellow hair and a heavy camera on his shoulder bursted through the entrance. His smile brightened when he spotted the two boys in the back and he didn’t hesitate to bound towards them, skipping right past the server welcoming him in. “Seungkwan! I knew I’d find you here.”

“Dearest Vernon, it seems we have been joined by the lovely Soonyoung hyung. Perhaps he might know the medicine we require to ease our ailments in love,” Seungkwan suddenly stood up, all signs of his hangover expertly hidden. He smiled directly into the camera lens. “Hyung, would you kindly share your wisdom with us lowly freshmen? Pray tell, how does one woo the object of their affection?”

Vernon, who was well-acquainted with Seungkwan’s antics by then, watched on in silent amusement. If anything could distract him from his internal turmoil for a moment, it was Seungkwan; even if he was just spewing nonsense. What really made him crack up though, was the way Soonyoung (that was his name, right?) was clearly trying very hard to suppress his giggles. “Um,” Soonyoung managed to  cut in breathlessly. “You know I’m not rolling, right? Also, I didn’t understand any of the words that just left your mouth, but it definitely felt like you were putting some sort of ancient curse on me. Hi, I’m Soonyoung by the way!”

Vernon introduced himself and shook Soonyoung’s hand. Seungkwan could only sigh in exasperation at Soonyoung’s lack of culture (not that he was surprised of course). The boy apparently thought it was a good fashion choice to leave his apartment wearing a tiger print button-up. “I was  asking if you could help us out with confessing to our crushes,” Seungkwan said with a roll of his eyes. 

“Ohh, that’s what you said!” Soonyoung laughed until he was keeled over, clutching his stomach. Vernon and Seungkwan could only watch him with great expectation. When the boy finally caught his breath and wiped the sweat from his brow, he gave the boys a very serious look. “Yeah, I haven’t gotten any since January. So you should probably ask someone else.” 

This also did not surprise Seungkwan. 

“Excuse me?” The tall server approached them again, clearly giving them his best ‘I hate working in retail’ smile. “If y’all are done eating, could you please leave? You’re disturbing the other customers.” 

“I’m eating, I’m eating!” Soonyoung smiled until his cheeks reached his eyes, a power move that he saves for occasions where he found himself in trouble, which happened more often than he’d care to admit. Once the server let them be, muttering something about not getting paid enough, Soonyoung turned his killing smile onto the two boys. “Can I have some of this? I can Venmo y’all later, I’m pretty broke right now.” 

Vernon pushed his uneaten ramen towards Soonyoung, who looked at him as if he was the sun itself. The boy carefully set down his film camera and immediately began slurping away. Vernon nodded his head towards the contraption and asked why he was carrying it around.

 “Oh, I rented it before coming to find Seungkwan. I’m thinking about making him the subject of my film project this semester, since the theater program is pretty buzzed that he’s joining this year!” Soonyoung patted the camera affectionately.

“‘Thinking about?’ I thought I was your final choice!” Seungkwan blurted. The ramen he had for lunch seemed to have finally restored some of his strength, because he no longer clutched at his temple when his voice rose.

“I said ‘most likely’ choice! I just want to keep my options open,” Soonyoung responded with great care. He didn’t want to hurt Seungkwan’s feelings, but he was definitely re-evaluating alternate subjects at the moment.  “It’s only the second week!”

“This is why you’re single,” the theater major said in a huff. “Lack of commitment!”

“Hey! I am perfectly capable of commitment. It’s the girls that don’t want to commit, ” Soonyoung said in a small voice, and looked off into the distance wistfully. “I really hope Woozi does put out a new song tonight. Maybe he’ll tweet something soon.” 

“Woozi? Who’s that?” Vernon asked. At this point, he was just looking for anything that would fend off his memories, which lingered at the edges of his mind and waited for moments of silence to bring him another fresh glass of cringe. He was pretty sure that he had experienced well above the recommended daily serving. 

“Oh, he’s a Twitch streamer from MU! I was actually gonna say if you two are really struggling in the love department, you should definitely check out his stream tonight.” Soonyoung nearly wiggled with enthusiasm. “He usually promotes songs from artists around the area, but his self-composed songs are my personal favorites. They’ve been what’s getting me through this dry spell, honestly.”

“Oh, that sounds pretty cool.” It sounded like it was right up Vernon’s alley, actually. 

Soonyoung nodded. “You listen to them and you just feel hopeful to find the kind of love he sings about. I’ll send you the link later!” 

“Underground artists? No thanks, I think I’ll stick to Eva Noblezada,” Seungkwan scoffed. “I don’t really think a stranger can help me with my problems. They don’t even know me.” 

“Oh come on, Kwan. Let’s just give it a shot!”

Even after all his grumbling, Seungkwan still sat beside Vernon at one of the desks in their dorm later that night. They had opened the link Soonyoung had sent them, and munched on some snacks while they waited for the stream to start up. Vernon waited with baited breath for his distraction to begin; he had spent most of the day attempting to wall off any thoughts of her or last night, but it was kind of difficult to think of anything else when all of his professors only droned on and on about quizzes and homework. 

When a boy with fair skin and burgundy hair came into frame, he nearly sighed in relief. The streamer appeared to be sitting in a small, dark office only illuminated by his computer screen and several pink neon signs that hung on the walls. Vernon could recognize the faint outlines of several guitars and a keyboard behind him. The boy clicked around for a while as more people joined the stream before finally waving into the camera. 

“Hi guys, welcome in! Thanks for joining Woozi’s Universe. If you’re new here, I’m Woozi and I like to write songs sometimes. If you’re an old subscriber, I’m really sorry for the long wait.  I’ve been working on a lot of projects, doing some collabs - I’ll actually be releasing one of those collabs tonight and I’m really excited for you guys to hear it. If you have any new songs you want to listen to together, go ahead and leave them in the chat!”

As soon as the stream started flowing, Vernon immediately knew why Soonyoung gave Woozi such rave reviews. The guy just had good vibes and he definitely knew his music. Vernon was hooked. Even Seungkwan, try as he might to look disinterested, couldn’t help bopping his head occasionally.

“Thanks for the subscription @chweinggum! You just helped me reach my tenth new sub for tonight, and you guys know what that means. Time for the new song! It was really fun to write this with my collaborator, so we really hope you like it!” 

After spending the past hour just vibing in Woozi’s Universe, discovering new songs and artists, Vernon had really hyped himself up to hear the streamer’s personal work. If Soonyoung’s words were true, this would be the song that would truly heal his heartache, the song that would push him to forget about the whole ordeal. He listened in anticipation as pleasant harmonies played through his laptop speakers. But as the song progressed, Vernon did not quite feel the reprieve he was hoping for. In fact, he was kind of taken aback. The lyrics… felt like they told his story. Maybe not word for word, but enough to make Vernon stare at the laptop screen with his mouth open. What kind of hocus pocus, That’s So Raven, mind reading shit was this? The song broke down the walls he had tried to build throughout the day and left him vulnerable to its strangely upbeat and energetic tune. 

He had to admit that he didn’t hate it. The cringe from his own actions did not disappear, but the song helped him focus more on the moments that made his heart flutter, the moments that incited those pesky butterflies in his stomach. They were the moments that made him so hard on himself in the first place and the reasons why it hurt so much that he messed up. She had made him feel seen. She had done everything right. And all he wanted to do was to show her that he saw her too. He just had to figure out how. 

Woozi clapped his hands loudly when the song came to an end, bringing Vernon out of his deep reverie. “And that was Pretty U by yours truly! I collaborated on it with an artist who doesn’t want to be named as of now, so I’ll just say it was great to work with such a talented person and I hope to work with them again soon! Anyway, we know the lyrics are pretty cheesy, but let’s just say it’s based on a juvenile romance! I tried capturing that giddy feeling of liking someone and wanting to tell them pretty words but losing confidence at the last second. I’m sure we’ve all been there before.”

Vernon sat up, nodding his head as if Woozi could see him. After his song scanned his soul like that, Vernon figured it wasn’t impossible.

“I know that some of my subscribers listen to me because they go through these kinds of hardships. But I wanted to say that my songs can’t fix everything. Even I go through it sometimes and I need someone to lean on. There’s actually a new thing I just found out about from a friend - ‘Dear Miss Soju’. It’s a column that they’re gonna start publishing on The Front’s website, and you can anonymously write in all your burning questions about love, relationships, or sex. So if you’re having a hard time confessing like in this song, just know that there’s someone out there to help you out!

“Since you’ll be anonymous, you can write about your heart’s deepest desires, even if it’s a little freaky. Yes, I’m talking to you, user @callmesoon, please stop trying to tell me about your sex life. Anyway, I’ll put the email in the description for anyone that’s interested!” Woozi paused to laugh at several of the comments. “No guys, The Front does not sponsor me. But I can tell you about a company that does sponsor me. Hello Fresh--”  

Seungkwan closed the laptop and sighed. “Well, that didn’t help me at all. Soonyoung hyung said this Woozi guy was gonna make me feel better, but now he’s just telling us to spilll all our secrets to some other stranger. What a scam! Right, Vernon? Vernon?”

By the time Seungkwan turned to look at his friend, Vernon was already writing his second draft for his email. The boy sighed again. Maybe he could give it a shot.

The next morning, Joohyun opened up her laptop to find thirteen emails in her inbox. She smiled. 

Now she could get to work.

My Aroha Journey ✨

Ok so i’ve seen people sharing stories about how they found astro so i thought i’ll do mine as well uwu 🥰 (this got quite long im sorry ghghgj but i still hope you guys will give it a read?)

So this all goes back to October 2016. I was bored so i was just surfing through channels on my tv and i decided to check what program was on KBS World channel so i tuned into it and it was showing this chuseok special dance program called boom shakalaka. The show was like almost nearing the ending and i only knew some of the people there (like gikwang, sejeong and 2(?) other people).

So anyway i was watching it and suddenly this guy in a white sweater appears, holding two light sticks(?) and cheering on the other contestants. You know i thought “oh he’s cute” at first but then, he SMILED and his eyes became like little crescents and i was BLOWN AWAY. Right at that moment i just felt something in my heart?? Like it’s hard to explain but i knew i had to know more about him. So when i knew what his name was, i was like “alright im gonna search this guy up”.

But then sadly, i kinda forgot about it the next day and when i remembered, i forgot his name (SO TRAGIC 😔) so i tried searching the program but guess what? Yup i forget its name too so i ended up searching nonsense, u know like how you search for a song when you really don’t know it’s lyrics? Yup like that dhfhfh. So i was like “guess this is it,, bye bye cute looking guy it was nice knowing you while it lasted :(“ fjfjgjj

Fast forward to the beginning of Jan 2017, i came across astro’s cover of replay. Tbh i’m really picky when it comes to covers but i still decided to give it a go and honestly im so glad i did. Like i was SHOOK because they were so good and i genuinely loved the cover so much i kept replaying it (no pun intended). And after watching it numerous times, i noticed eunwoo and i thought he looked familiar so i searched about him and BOOM guess what? HE WAS THE GUY IN THE SHOW DGFHFH i was like so happy to finally see him again and from there on i began searching more about the group, watching their songs and videos and shows and before i knew it, the six boys had captured my heart :’) 🌷💕

I didn’t really claim eunwoo as my bias at first tho i knew him a little better than the others but it felt wrong to do it when i hadn’t even gotten to know the others yet?? Also they all were so cute i couldn’t pick a bias that fast dhfhgj So for a few days i didn’t claim a bias but then eunwoo in the ciacada ddoca just 😔✊🏼 like he had the audacity to look that cute while wearing minion glasses and when he just SMILES!!!! i knew i was a goner,, i guess its true when people say that u dont choose ur bias but ur bias chooses you lol. (Fun fact: i think i did confuse binu at first?? But i remember mixing up mj and jinjin’s names lmao. Like i thought mj’s name was jinjin and jinjin’s name was mj fhfhg) And then i was doing fine with only eunwoo as my bias (for like months) but idk when moonbin started ruining me 😤 and before i knew it i was moonbin’d and he became my bias along with eunwoo (though ly says im a complete bin stan now dhfhfhg i mean yeah my blog says that too but i disagree 🤧)

And the funny thing is, i might have seen eunwoo on hello counselor before too but didn’t know it lol. Also i saw eunwoo/astro on kbs year ending show 2016 and still failed to notice that eunwoo was the guy i was searching for fjfjfj like the special baby stage that they performed with other artists literally opens up with eunwoo but i guess im too dumb lmao.

And though it might have taken me months to find eunwoo again and then get to know about astro through him, i still believe it was written in the stars for me to find about astro and become an aroha. I love all of them and i feel lucky to have known about them and i’m happy to have made so many beautiful memories and met such nice arohas along the way. I love astro and all you arohas!! 💜

#i didnt get into every little detail bc i was scared its gonna get too long #yet somehow it did end up being long #im sorry hfhjkkh #but yeah here u go! #my aroha journey story time :) #enjoy this i guess haha #astro #happyastroday #astro 3rd anniversary #ME! #text

The Behaviour Pattern of a Fanatic Fan in the Process of finding their selves.

Natya Shina was present as a guest speaker at the Hansan 2019 event at Multimedia Nusantara University. Natya shared her experience of being a Korean music and pop dance cover.

Idol and their inspiration have the same context of success

Accordingly, that is the myth about the presence of an idol to its fans. Idols appear in the media as an inspiration or a motivation for their fans to become a better person. However, the reality in some of those people mostly misbehave. In some cases, they think of their idols as a perfect figure, to a point where they do not accept criticism of other people towards their idol; whether it is constructive criticism or the other way around.

As an example, Natya Shina is an influencer, dancer and a youtuber that has received many criticisms and utterance of hatred because of her criticism towards a member of a K-Pop girl group called Blackpink. At that time, Natya got an invitation from Shopee to attend a fanmeeting from Blackpink which was held on the 19th of November 2018. In one of her Instagram Stories (@Natyashina), Natya wrote her disappointment as a Blink (name of Blackpink fans) about Jennie’s performance which she said was not optimal. Natya also provided a few youtube videos from jennie’s performance at the concert which looked lazy for her.

Because of her uploads, Natya received a lot of critics from Indonesian Blinks, specifically Jennie’s fans, because they believed it to be utterance of hatred towards the idol.

Recently, Natya won a dance cover contest that was held by Blackpink itself and was attended by thousands of dance cover groups in the whole world. Natya with her group, Pink Panda, achieved second place in the contest.

However, despite getting praises, Natya in fact got criticized. She was considered not fit for the reward itself because she was depicted as an anti-fan by the Blinks of Indonesia.

”An Anti-Jennie won huh. U don’t deserve it. Anyways, enjoy the money Jennie gave you,” wrote a fan with the account name of xxlalisaxo that got liked by other 567 users.

Some hate comments on Natya Shina instagram accounts.

“Work on your behavior and personality”.

“Hey, are you 8th years K-Popers? So funny. I’ve been a K-Popers for 12 years and more experienced than you. Why you look so disgusting? Are you bashing someone that giving you money (via the contest) right now?”

At the moment, Natya’s upload is filled with over 7.200 comments about the case.

However, Natya declined the criticisms and said that she is a Blackpink fan ever since Blackpink debuted and uploaded about the case as constructive criticism, not an utterance of hatred towards her.

“First of all, I’m not Jennie’s anti-fan or hater. I’ve been covering Blackpink (dance) since 2016, if that does make any sense to you. So that claim (I’m a hater) is totally ridiculous actually,” said Natya on her instagram account.

In her clarification video, Natya also appeal to her fans that does not know about the case to beware of provokers and hoaxes about her.

One of the Blackpink fans who when met in the Mangga Dua Square area on Sunday (05/26/19). They are fans who participated in Blackpink's activities.

“They keep spreading hates, they keep spreading lies. I don’t know what they’re intention and purposes, but it’s just not right. So please don’t just believe them without any proof, ok?” she continued, and ended with a smile.

In reality, besides the Blinks that thought of Natya’s critics as blasphemy, some other fans have the same opinion with Natya and said that what she said was something ordinary.

“Actually I’m agree with Ci Nanda (another name of Natya). As a dancer itself, I agree if Jennie not totally with her dance (at that event). Because I think Jennie could do more. Jennie itself is a great dancer,” said Salsabila (18), a fan of Blackpink and also a dancer.

Her statement was also supported by another fan, Diva (18), which also has her opinions:

“I think its okay if they got criticized. As long as the critics are to make the idol improve themselves, I think it’s fine,” she said.

As seen from other statements from other people, including Natya Shina herself in the video which she uploaded into her youtube about the case, age and psychological factor of the majority of the fans that are still adolescents become one of the reasons that those thinking patterns appear.

Psychologist Amanda R Santoso S. Psi graduated from Binus University when interviewed in the Kebayoran area on Saturday (05/25/19) regarding the attitude of the fans who did not accept their idols in criticism.

Thus, our team went to see a psychologist, an alumnus of Bina Nusantara University, named Amanda Santoso; to understand the case. Amanda said the case that Natya experienced in her teenage life, is something that is common and most of the time happen in her age.

“Natya’s problem is quite proper and ordinary in teenager nowadays,” she said.

“Teenager is in the transitional stage of physical and psychological development that generally occurs during the period from her puberty to legal adulthood. They have unstable feelings and emotions,” said Amanda, explaining the behavior pattern when examined from the psychological side.

“If they said their bias is a masterpiece and always does something, so the people around them must have the same perspective. If not, they would be super angry or anything like that,” she continued.

Even though her case is quite the ordinary to happen, Amanda does not agree about the behavior pattern as something reasonable. Fanatic fans or if it is tied with Natya Shina’s case, she assumes that action is needed from her environment to find a solution, such as shifting them to more positive things.

“As an adult, we should find a way to stop their fanaticism,” she said.

“Maybe we can distract their attention to something more positive. Like, learning something new or do something that is good for their future,” closed Amanda.

Okay so I tried looking at Astro's main dance practices to see if I could pick a favourite, but it's too hard! I love them all! But I can see why Again/Should've Held On is your fave, that's a good choreo. I also noticed that baby Astro were whack-a-moles, they kept bopping up and down in their choreo. If I had to pick a top 5 favourite choreos of Astro, I'd choose, in no particular order, All Night, Always You, CSC, Baby and Hide & Seek. Part 1 -asa 💜

For all I know, there could be dances to other songs that I haven’t even seen yet. But for your other question, since it’s my current favourite Astro song, I’d love to see a choreo for Moonwalk, or even just a stage. And I did sleep well thank you! I had a weird dream where my best friend went to university and I visited her at her flat but like lots of her furniture and furnishings were sorta the same as mine and for some reason she had two microwaves, even tho she lived alone. Part 2 -asa 💜

I think as long as you like the taste of spicy food, it shouldn’t matter too much what your tolerance is as long as you can handle some spice. You can always request your food to be made less spicy anyway. Strong Stephen 😂 Sorry that’s such a funny name. I completely agree with everything you said about the Selfie MV, Jinjin and Sanha’s height difference was so cute, I also loved Binu and that scene with MJ in the bg with the gun 😂 But my fave part was Rocky yelling at the end 😂 Part 3 -asa

Also since you mention Hungarian food, I’m guessing that’s where you’re from? If that’s the case, you’re only an hour ahead of me! You’re so right, that concept works so well with them and gosh, don’t even get me started with Rocky’s singing, everything he does just… he’s so amazing. They’re all so incredible and I love to see them having fun and enjoying themselves. Part 4/4 -asa 💜

Ahh you chose really good dances indeed and yes I agree it’s hard to choose when it comes to so many good dances. Their sync has been very good since day1 but the newer choreos indeed have less bobbing up and down and things like that.

Moonwalk is one of my ‘getting ready morning routine’ songs now actually! I really like its rhythm, so I can totally understand why its a new fave for you.

Hahaha that’s such a funny dream. It’s interesting how dreams seem realistic and logical while you’re in them but when you wake up and remember all the things that was off it’s suddenly weird.

They can be so chaotic sometimes gosh but I love it. Lately YouTube keeps reccing my their self-made MVs for songs like Call out and You and Me and those are so sweet and funny too!

Yeah, I’m from Hungary and wow then we are not even that far! I noticed you reply not long after me but I’m usually asleep by that time :D Are you a night owl or the 2am thing not long ago was just a one-time thing?

Introducing The Front ’s New Romance Advice Columnist: Miss Soju! 

We all have an ideal: an ideal type, an ideal first date, an ideal relationship. The problem is love isn’t ideal at all. And sooner or later, we find ourselves sitting on that plastic chair in that tent on the side of the road with an ache in our chest. You’re hurt, confused, and kind of going crazy-- all the tell-tale symptoms of heartbreak are there. And the only cure? Soju, of course! 

Finding a decent partner and maintaining a healthy, sustainable relationship is difficult enough as it is. Then layer it with the culture shock of university, where you’re experiencing actual adulthood for the first time without mommy and daddy to hold your hand. It’s enough to make anyone lose their minds! Sure, you could always turn to your friends for support and advice, but in all honesty, they’re even more of a mess than you are. 

That’s why Mansae University’s affiliate newspaper, The Front, will be reviving our romance advice column this fall! Each week, Miss Soju will be answering all your burning questions, and that means all of them. Her expertise touches on topics as simple as explaining to that one guy that your love is fated because you passed each other at Yuhaeng Quad, like three times, and extends to more extreme situations that require an anonymous veil, like how to confess to your new boyfriend with the furry fetish that you’ve been severely allergic to animals since you were three and you have no idea how any animals act, let alone… Yikes. 

It’s true, college is full of new and bizarre experiences, some we must go through and some we’d much rather avoid. Who knows? Maybe you’ll meet the love of your life here. But it’s okay to admit that you need a little guidance through the mystical and confusing world of college dating. Miss Soju has got your back, and she’s not afraid to hit you with that real shit. As she always says, good advice is like taking a shot: sweet on the lips but burns your throat as you swallow it down.

“Jihoon, I don’t know if I can do this.” 

Name: So Joohyun. Major: Journalism major with a minor in communications. Estimated graduation year: 2021. Desired position: World News Journalism Intern. That was what she had put on her application for The Front’s junior internship program. She had made sure to attach her published articles and to emphasize her interest in-- no, her passion for-- reporting compelling stories on an international scale. Not once in her application did she indicate that she was an expert in love or sex, let alone qualified to give others advice on the subjects! In fact, she was probably the least qualified person on campus for this position, which was probably the most perplexing aspect of the whole situation. 

But despite all of that, there she was, sitting in Yuhaeng Quad with her best friend, reading the promo piece she had written for Miss Soju. Jihoon had been ecstatic when he had thought of the nickname back in high school. She had snuck bottles of the alcohol over to his house one night after finals week, and he had drunkenly claimed that the name was doubly clever since So-ju were also the first two syllables in her name. When the newspaper had told her she needed an anonymous pen name, it was the only thing she could think of, mostly because creating a secret identity had made her in desperate need of a drink. She changed her mind. Having a secret identity was equally as perplexing as pretending to know how to spice up people’s sex lives. It was like she was some kind of Love Spiderman. She was not ready for that kind of great power or the great responsibility that came with it!

“‘I don’t know if I can do this’?” Jihoon repeated her words slowly. “I don’t think I’ve ever heard you say those words in that order. Can I take your picture? I need to commemorate this moment.” 

“Can’t you see that I am having a crisis?” she whined. “The integrity of my career is on the line because I’ve never bothered to go on a date!” 

“When are you not having a crisis?” Jihoon laughed. He sat up from lying down on their picnic tarp to give her full view of his smug grin. Originally, he had dragged Joohyun outside in hopes that the perfect summer weather would help relieve some of her stress from the past week. He even found her favorite spot under the shade of an ancient tree that overlooked the stretch of green field. But Jihoon could not call himself a proper best friend if he passed on an opportunity to rub all of this in her face. “This is what you get for chickening out on all our group blind dates! I could have scored that hot bassist girl with the thigh tattoo, but nooo, you always had to put your career first.” 

“Sue me for having priorities!” she huffed. Leave it to Jihoon to chalk this all up to karma. Now that he mentioned it though, she couldn’t help but feel like a higher power was taking a piss on her life. Or maybe it was just the shit-eating smile on Jihoon’s face that had her on edge. Joohyun tried to avert her focus to a couple of boys tossing a frisbee around instead, but somehow that irked her too. The idyllic weather, the carefree students, everything that was pleasant seemed to mock her sour mood. She pouted at the ground in defeat, and continued, “You are the first person to know that if I was told that dating and fucking around were going to be crucial to my journey to becoming South Korea’s top journalist by the time I turn 25, I would have become a hoe long ago.” 

“Woah, are you gonna start your thot phase for this? Are we gonna have a hot girl summer?” The boy began to bounce excitedly. Joohyun felt it was high time to give him the finger, but she also felt a small smile tugging at her frown. “Easier said than done, though. Remember Jessi from high school?”

“Yeah I remember,” she said with a sigh. High school romance had lured so many of her friends into its clutches, with its enticing promises of sweet chocolates and stuffed animals, and she had helplessly watched from the top of the class as they forsook their grades for boys who didn’t even know what deodorant was. She only shuddered to think of the state of their grades after a nasty break up. It was then that Joohyun had decided that her future was not worth risking over a boy’s attention. “Which is exactly why I never got involved in all that mess in the first place.”

“This must be the gods telling you that it’s time to.”

“What kind of fucked up god sets up a virgin as a love advice columnist?” she asked the sky loudly. If she had known there was anyone listening, she would have insisted that her question was rhetorical and was not in need of any type of response! However, the gods cared not for grammar technicalities on the mortal plane. They just couldn’t resist the chance to respond to someone so openly questioning their decisions with some good ol’ spite. Honestly, with the way things were going for her lately, Joohyun probably should have expected the frisbee flying merrily towards her face, even if she hadn’t just challenge the universe. 

“Oh fuck!” Joohyun jerked out of the way and felt the frisbee thunk against her shoulder instead. “Ow.” At this point, she didn’t even have the capacity to be annoyed; she just braced herself for whatever misfortune life threw at her next. 

“Sorry about that!” A boy called out, jogging up to them. As he came into clearer view, she noted that he looked far from misfortunate, and also had to remind herself that staring was rude even if someone was unnaturally handsome. His features were soft yet striking, like he had been carefully sculpted from cotton candy. Or maybe a fluffy rain cloud? Joohyun shook her head a little as if that would get her to stop staring so shamelessly. She speculated whether it was the sun that made it look like his blond hair was a glowing halo. Okay seriously, stop staring! He gave Joohyun a sweet smile when he reached them. “My friend got a bit distracted. Now that I’m here, I can’t say that I blame him. Hope we didn’t do too much damage!” 

“Uh,” was her captivating reply.  

Jihoon, never one to miss such a ripe opportunity, piped up beside her. “She’ll be fine. This is Joohyun, by the way.” 

His smile widened at Woozi’s introduction, and Joohyun could swear there was an actual twinkle in his eyes. “Nice to meet you both. I’m--”

“Yoon Jeonghan!” They all looked towards the call. The ethereal boy let out a startlingly loud cackle at the sight of his friend, who gave the two strangers a sheepish wave before continuing to gesture for Jeonghan to return. Joohyun must have been put in a staring mood, because she didn’t miss how his friend’s big ears were a shade of pink and how they bloomed into a cherry red when they briefly made eye contact. She caught herself wondering if all the boys at Mansae University were always this cute. 

“I guess I better go,” the boy named Jeonghan shrugged. Joohyun felt his fingers brush against hers when he took the frisbee from her hand, his eyes glinting mischievously. Now she was sure she was seeing things. “See you two around!” 

They both watched him retreat in an awestruck silence. That was certainly… unanticipated. Even long after Jeonghan and his friend were out of sight, the brief encounter left a blanket of fogginess lingering over them. Had she not felt his fingers on hers, Joohyun would have easily believed that it had all been in her head. At the same time, she was pretty sure that she wasn’t bold enough to conjure up someone that looked like that on her own. As she continued to fathom how a human being could glow, Joohyun felt the fog dissipate into the warm summer air. She felt like she was waking up from a disorienting dream, and she blinked to hasten the process. To her growing bewilderment, she found that her heartbeat was steady as she came back to her senses, her mind seemingly devoid of the panic and doubt that had plagued her all week. It was a gasp of fresh air. 

Jihoon, on the other hand, had long broken free from the strong impression that the blond boy made. He noted the dazed look on his best friend’s face and rolled his eyes. Who knew that a pretty boy was all it took to make her shut up a bit? He nudged Joohyun impatiently, so that she could pay attention to him while he roasted her for totally flubbing her chances.  “You thinking of risking it all for that guy?” 

In an instant, Joohyun slammed herself back into reality just to shove Jihoon away from her. “That is so not happening,” she said a little too indignantly. Before Jihoon could reassure her that the guy seemed interested enough even though she had only said a single syllable to him, Joohyun suddenly turned to him very seriously. “Do you really think I  can do it, Jihoon?” 

“What, bang that guy? I can try calling him back here if you want,” he snickered. 

“You know what I mean!”  

“Okay sorry, I couldn’t resist,” Jihoon replied, his grin now melting into a familiar smile, the one that could put her at ease on her lowest days. “I just don’t know why you have to ask. You and I both know that you kick ass at writing. You’ve written about stuff like natural disasters and the student protests, no problem at all. It’s not like you have a PhD in environmental science or politics. How is this any different? ”

Joohyun scrunched her face as if Jihoon had just suggested that chocolate milk came from brown cows. “Dude, they’re completely different. Those articles were reporting on facts. I did research, I conducted interviews!” 

“That’s what I’m saying, Joo!” Jihoon exclaimed suddenly. As smart as she was, he couldn’t help getting a little giddy whenever he thought of a good idea before her. “Why not treat Miss Soju like any other of your other projects? I mean, love is probably one of the most well-documented experiences throughout history, and people are still going through all the same shit. There’s probably thousands of resources for a man simping on a hot chick alone. You can even take your pick, like movies, songs, books, weird couples on Youtube?You don’t need to have experience, because you can just do the research! ” 

“Research?” Joohyun repeated. If there was one thing that she was good at, it was doing the work. From the moment she had decided to become a journalist, everything she had done was a strategic move to get her closer to her end goal. She had spent sleepless nights perfecting the details of her writing, countless hours reading through endless archives of old articles. Hell, she even restricted herself from dating for years just so she could focus on keep her grades up. It was almost too easy of a solution. Maybe she was meant to do this after all.

 Another couple of months of research would simply be another hurdle on her way to the finish line and she was getting closer and closer. Finally, she felt a smile spread across her cheeks, a real, genuine smile. “I… I can do that.” 

“Now that,” Jihoon said as he took her hand in his, pulling her up to her feet, “sounds like So Joohyun. Or should I say Miss Soju?” 

She laughed as she dusted the grass off of her butt. “You know, it’s probably not a good idea to include the first part of my name in my anonymous persona. It makes it so obvious that it’s me.”

“Yeah, I mean it would be obvious if people actually knew who you were in the first place,” Jihoon scoffed, narrowly dodging a kick from her. “That’s a good thing for you! Anyway, let’s get out of here, I have a couple of tweaks to make to my song before releasing it tonight. Could you listen to it by the way? I need to know if it’s too cheesy.” 

“Oh, the song you’re writing about your mystery muse?” Joohyun hummed playfully while packing up their blanket. She followed after her best friend as he began the short climb uphill. “I don’t know if I want to, you’ve been pretty out of pocket today.”

“Hey!” he said defensively. “First: I don’t need a muse for my songs, I just have a very vivid imagination and my talent does the rest. Second: I literally just stopped you from giving up on your lifelong dream of becoming a journalist, so I think you owe me one. You’re just jealous I can write love songs without having an existential crisis.” 

“See, that is what I mean by out of pocket,” she paused for a beat. “I may be willing to listen to your song. For a small price, of course.”

“Okay, deal,” he agreed without hesitation, missing the way Joohyun deviously smirked beside him. They reached the concrete pavement at top of the hill and headed in the direction of his nearby apartment. “What is it this time, Ms. So?” 

“Well Mr. Lee, thanks to your lovely suggestion earlier, I have been inspired to begin work immediately. So we shall be watching Twilight on movie night,” she said all too gleefully, mostly for satisfaction that Jihoon’s twisted face of disgust gave her. 

“Do we have to?” he groaned.

 “It’s for my research!”

astro witch coven au (sanha)

au masterlist

The very last one to tumble into the Astro coven

Part-timed at the SF9 coven for a while

So sometimes you have specialised covens like the VIXX coven (in charms and talismans) and the Snuper coven (in healing)

and sometimes you have hodgepodge covens who have one specialist for whatever you need like a one-stop shop

such as Bangtan and Astro (where you can get potions, herbs and charms in the same house – which makes it endlessly easy for harried house-witches in each of their neighbourhoods to pick up stuff they need)

another such example is SF9

and at that point in time SF9 suddenly had a boom of magical people in their neighbourhood

so they had a lot of orders and stuff pouring in so Youngbin decided to hire some smol part-timers

i.e., excited young witches eager to flex their magical fingers and put their powers to good use to earn some pocket money

and so this is how smol Chani and Sanha, with their bright eyes and nimble fingers and penchant for mischief, end up part-timing for SF9

earned a little pocket money, earned a lot of experience

Chani mainly worked with the potion masters Zuho and Hwiyoung and with the gardening witch Dawon

Sanha spent most of his time with Youngbin, Jaeyoon and Inseong in the charms room after magic school, preparing different sets of crystals for spells they needed to do

Happiness charm? A bottle cap inscribed with ‘happiness’ in Inseong’s neat script, two crystals and three leaves

Calming charm? A hairclip that Jaeyoon’s scribbled on in white paint marker, a bottle of distilled water and four crystals

Cooling crystals? A small blue crystal and a thin copper wire

Sanha’s got it mostly in his head, but anything he doesn’t know, he consults a small manual written in Youngbin’s messy scrawl and prepares the sets for them

Very nimble fingers and can pack things really well and fast!!! Bless Sanha

Occasionally when the three weren’t as busy, Sanha skipped downstairs to help Taeyang and Rowoon with small errands like delivery

Helped Rowoon, a frost witch, deliver ice bags to people around the neighbourhood

Or sometimes helped Taeyang, an elemental witch, package stuff he spins out of thin air and label them for customers

Sometimes messed up the names and stuff but Taeyang sorted them out eventually

also earned a lot of exasperation and fondness

Sanha really is a pure bean he just needs the right goading to turn into a lil shit

Like that time Dawon was napping in his greenhouse

Sanha and Taeyang releasing tiny butterflies made out of thin copper wires charmed to fly for less than an hour into the air

Dawon nearly panicking because he thought they were eating up his children

Or that time Sanha ‘accidentally’ swapped out Jaeyoon’s dry-erase markers for permanent ones

And Jaeyoon usually uses them to note a list of charms and clients on his arm for easy reference so he can erase them later

Cue Jaeyoon walking around the whole day being grumpy because Chani and Sanha charmed his ink to stay on for 24 hours

Carried onto the Astro coven ohohoho I have so many stories from the Sanha-MJ vs Bin prank war

Bin loves pranking Sanha it’s hilarious

Like that one beetle incident

And also that shouting charm incident

Filed under Bin’s profile if you’re interested

More to come

But yes and so like this, business eventually settled into a steady rhythm

until Sanha’s dad decided to move them halfway across the country

rip Sanha’s after-school money-making means

But Sanha has to adjust to a new magic school and make new friends and stuff so the first month or so he doesn’t really have the time to go out and part-time anyway

Ok a bit more about the magic school system

I realise I’ve never gone into this with much detail rip but now I’ve gone into it with too much detail 

Me: I need to publish Sanha’s profile asap

Also me: ok but first you need to rewrite the laws of physics in each single AU you have

But basically you go to school for basic magic stuff like learning the theories and learning what different branches of magic there are

imagine Hogwarts but in a house and with like 10 magical kids at differing magical levels and ages

so they all learn the theory portion together in the mornings

and occasionally instead of magical theory they cover actual stuff they need for national exams because I mean ??? they still need qualifications just in case they want to go into something non-magical

but because they’re all of differing magical levels and different magical backgrounds, they spend the second half of the day either Shadowing their parents’ magic business or if their parents worked in a non-magical line, Shadowing a specialist coven

and this ‘specialist’ coven they Shadow usually falls in line with their interest

like how Chani was interested in botany and spent his Shadow time with the botany witch coven Honeyst (after which he went to Dawon’s greenhouse to learn more while earning pocket-money)

and this is the route the rest of Astro took too, with Eunwoo’s training in the Snuper coven and Rocky helping out in his cousin’s potions room and Bin living nearly full-time in the VIXX coven

and eventually in their later years they either fade out of theory entirely and just work in their specialist line or continue with national exams and go into non-magical lines

Sanha’s parents chose the non-magical line and work in entertainment, which doesn’t really require much of their magic but is largely enjoyable for them all the same

And so Sanha’s left with the choice to either specialise or go non-magical like his parents

But he knows deep down that he does want to do magic so that’s that

And so he has to specialise

I mean, he was thinking of specialising in charms with SF9 but since he’s moved halfway across the country he can no longer do so

And so he flounders around looking for help

Until one day Chani calls to tell him to knock on the door of the Astro coven to look for a place because while a lot of covens would love to have Sanha, the only Charmers there are in the neighbourhood are the VIXX coven and the Astro coven

And while VIXX is an established specialist coven, after Bin left, N’s been swamped with new students looking to create charms and talismans too

And not to worry!!! Because apparently Dawon knows a blood ritualist in that coven and apparently they’re all very nice and looking for some help

So Sanha marches up to the Astro coven door and rings the first magical doorbell he sees (MJ’s) and introduces himself

Sanha shouting: “HI I’M SANHA I’D LIKE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT CHARMS AND MAGIC”

Jinjin, hauling this idiot in because who the hell shouts about this in the middle of the street????

Rocky, coven leader, sizing this beanpole up

Tol smol

Skinny

Easily startled

Lil bit dumb

Not sure if he wants to take him but-

MJ bursting into the kitchen where Rocky and Jinjin have Sanha sat down

“HELLO YES PLS TAKE THEM ONE OF OUR OLD NEIGHBOURS CALLED AND SAID HE’S A SWEETHEART”

temporarily forgets that Rockjin have no idea about KNK’s extensive immigration history

also comes to regret this statement many incidents of Sanha Talks Shit & Gets Hit™ later

Jinjin dragging Binu out of their second floor cave to evaluate this young son

Eunwoo peering into Sanha’s eyes and agreeing immediately because Sanha looks so pure and cute he can’t help it he’s weak

Binnie giving Sanha a couple of trinkets and asking him to sort them into charm sets for him

Sanha doing well so far until he comes across a dead beetle and yelps

Binnie’s eyes twinkling

“yES ROCKY I’M VERY SURE I WANT THIS ONE”

rip Sanha

Rocky, incredulous,

Instant best friends with MJ

Plays so well with MJ Bin gets alarmed because

He can prank MJ and he can prank Sanha but

Both at once???? He’ll admit he’s a little alarmed

Can talk to MJ about nothing for ages

Although MJ can’t talk for ages

He’s old, forgive him – he tires easily

Also that one time he talked about nothing to MJ and managed to turn the entire house purple and KNK’s coven house black

Incredible

And long story short, Rocky was the one who agreed that Sanha move in with them and train under all of them in the end

But if you ask him now lmao he’ll deny it to his death

He personally feels that Sanha is truly one of the most powerful witches he’ll ever meet and have the opportunity to apprentice

Although all he’s asked Sanha to do so far in his apprenticeship is fetching potion ingredients

Something Sanha is Actually Terrible at

Comes out into the garden with a list of different herbs Rocky wants found within two hours

One and a half hours of searching and talking to Chani and Dawon on speakerphone later he’s only found basil and it’s only because Jinjin was collecting some for dinner later

Jinjin sighing and slowly sifting through the list with Sanha  

Papa!Jinjin slowly teaching his son how to differentiate between plants

belleaves (non-spiky leaves, brownish-green, edible) and balleaves (also non-spiky leaves, greenish-brown, to be strained out of the potion at the end of brewing)

Rohas (space violet, five-petalled, strong smell, used in Healing aromatherapy potion brews) and Roahs (vivid plum, five-petalled, slightly sweeter and milder smell, used in Calming aromatherapy potion brews)

English parsley and Chinese parsley (for fun because Jinjin sends Sanha out to collect herbs for dinner sometimes)

Sanha struggling through himself when it comes to non-agricultural potion ingredients like feathers and stuff

Tries to ask Bin but then Bin starts asking him to help him collect other stuff too so he just kind of panics and runs away

Bin being mildly confused because didn’t Sanha prefer making charm sets anyway

He does, but he also prefers seeing Rocky’s proud beam when Sanha comes to him, exhausted and covered in whatever it took to catch that one pigeon to get that one singular feather off its back

Rocky raising his hand to pat Sanha on the shoulder

Rocky also letting Sanha sit in the Potions room (out-of-bounds to MJ and Bin after that One Incident with Magical Water Balloons) and complete tasks Bin’s set him

As long as he keeps a 2m radius from his cauldron, that is

Sorry Sanha

Because no matter how talented Sanha is, he’s still a Grade A Idiot

Like that one time Sanha nearly knocked over Rocky’s prized cauldron and Rocky got so mad about it

he slipped a potion into Sanha’s flask that made his skin purple for a week

and it was really funny bc Sanha usually flops around outside in the garden helping Jinjin because he’s mostly tasked to collect potions ingredients after he finishes assembling charm sets for Bin

but then with purple skin he was too afraid to go out of the house to even go to school lest Humans see him

so he just kind of whined at the window at Jinjin and MJ until Jinjin personally begged Rocky to either give Sanha back his regular skin colour or to give him something else to do

needless to say Sanha probably will never go near the cauldron ever again

wahahah i’m finally done with astro’s profiles it’s drabble time

[astrofireworks]

Kk (possible binu story here we go) so my friend works at a small convenience store and apparently there was this really cute guy that came in once to go to the bathroom so she was like yeah I'll never see him again bUt HE came back and he kept coming back to buy the randomest things and talk to her and then once he walked up to the counter and put five dollars down and asked if he had enough to get her number and they've been on one date so far and they're really cute emergersh

ADSJFHKSDJ THIS IS SO CUTE AND PURE I’M !!!!!!!!!!!!! it’s here it’s your local binu trash coming through w ur daily binu post 

also @binsmoon was talking about a Best Hit AU ehehehehe when you mentioned convenience store I thought of this one scene and their gs25 commercial ayeeee ok to differentiate Myungjun & Eunwoo’s MJ I’ll label Eunwoo as MJ™ 

“Here’s your vest and here’re the keys and yes there you go buddy now you’re prepared" 

Bin shaking because wow his manager seems very blasé 

I mean, he’s been through a training session already so he more or less knows how everything works but 

That's 

That’s it? 

No warnings or ?????

At Bin’s mildly confused look, the manager sighs heavily and pats him on the back 

@ Bin: “Try and last as long as you can, buddy" 

Bin, now slightly terrified: 

@ Bin: “if someone in a hood comes in and you think he’s a celebrity don’t say a single word" 

Bin, now not-so-slightly terrified: 

@ Bin: “ok yep bye" 

Bin, with his vest on, standing behind the counter, staring at a display of banana milk & minion tic tacs: “oh good lord" 

He’s not prepared for this and he’ll never be 

MJ™’s dumbfounded 

It’s literally the second time this week his manager’s had a stomachache on the road & they’ve had to stop at the road side 

He peers suspiciously out the window 

Huh a convenience store 

Recoils because he remembers that last time he went to a convenience store 

Ok but what are the chances it’ll happen again???? 

His CEO should have solved whatever the heck went down 

Also this is an entirely different chain so really he shouldn’t have a problem 

He stretches a bit, grabs his wallet and hops off the car, slapping sunglasses & a black face mask on 

Can’t have anyone recognising MJ™ when he’s on a mission to collect all the limited edition minion tic tac bottles 

Huh he’s heard that the banana milk he did a CF for sold really well maybe he should get some too 

MJ™ pushing open the door and- 

"Hi hello welcome to GS25" 

A really nice voice 

MJ™ peers past his sunglasses 

A cute boy !!!! 

Who’s currently wringing his hands and staring at MJ™ 

MJ™ wincing because he hopes this boy doesn’t recognise him 

Turning away to look for that one minion tic tac box he doesn’t have 

Fhskdhsjhd the worst thing about wearing a face mask with glasses / sunglasses is that when you breathe it fogs up your glasses 

MJ™: heck it 

MJ™ removing the damn sunglasses and mask because choosing these boxes are impORTANT 

Bin being frozen because 

Um ???????????? 

A man in a hood & sunglasses & face mask

Either a celebrity or a criminal 

Bin peers at the man’s jeans and shoes 

Huh

Nice jeans, nice shoes

Probably not a criminal???????

But he might have stolen those 

Might be a criminal???????

But before he decides, the man turns around again, looking at the banana milk display 

Wait

W a i t 

That face

Is the one 

On the banana milk display 

Bin watching as the man warily picks up a banana milk packet and squints at it 

Bin trying to peer at the banana milk display to see if anyone’s put the guy’s name there 

"MJ™”? ???? 

Nah but he looks different 

This one looks a little chubbier and softer 

And looks slightly taller 

Right ????

MJ™ turning around and seeing the cashier squinting at him 

Oh shit did he get recognised? 

He tugs his hood lower over his eyes and walks up to the cashier, depositing his minion tic tacs and banana milk and pulling out some cash

Bin shrugging and scanning the man’s items 

Even if this were MJ™, his manager told him not to say anything so 

But if it isn’t, wow Bin would Tap That 

Eyelashes longer than Bin’s lifespan and bright, bright eyes 

Also soft cheeks that Bin really wants to poke 

Look at them

So soft 

It’s only when the receipt machine beeps that Bin tears his eyes away from the man's 

Wow 

Truly a blessing 

He guesses that if it were really MJ™ he truly is a famous idol singer for a reason 

As MJ™ swings the door closed Bin slumps on his high chair near the cashier 

Truly about to weep 

He’ll never see this beautiful man again, whether or not he’s MJ™ 

MJ™ slumps in his car seat too 

Wow 

He’ll highkey never see the cute cashier guy again 

He felt the cashier’s eyes on him the whole time he was in the store

I mean he was highkey uncomfortable at first but 

The cashier didn’t say anything other than his welcome, goodbye and his total 

So perhaps he didn’t recognise MJ™

But wow 

Reddish brown fringe peeking out from under a backwards cap 

Bright, cat-like eyes 

Shiny, MJ™’s brain notes 

You like shiny things, MJ™’s brain continues 

You like this boy, MJ™’s brain concludes 

Flustered, MJ™ scowls and buries himself deeper in his car seat 

Dammit 

He’ll never see him again though 

MJ™ didn’t even think to look at his name tag so now he can’t even google him 

MJ™ groans 

And groans again the next day because wow truly does his manager never go to the toilet before leaving the broadcast station? 

Until the car slows and he peers outside 

GS25 

Again? 

MJ™ grabs his wallet and clambers out of the car, hollering at his manager that he’d be getting them drinks only to receive a pained nod in reply 

MJ™ strolling into GS25, heart pounding disproportionately hard 

Bin looking up from where he’s reading the latest episode of Tower of God and standing up to greet whoever it is

I highly recommend Tower of God it’s an amazing webtoon

And being stunned because wow here’s maybe-MJ™ here again?????

Bin mumbling out a hello in shock because like

What were the chances ???????? 

The angel is here again????????? 

MJ™ buying milk this time and casually sneaking a look 

Many looks 

At (squints) 운민?

(Squints slightly more) 운빈?

(Squints more) 문빈? 

Bin feeling a little self conscious because wow he’s only here reading his webtoon but

Maybe-MJ™ is squinting in his general direction 

So he coughs politely and asks, “Can I help you?" 

Cue MJ™ flushing red and going "no no no no” and marching up to the counter and handing Bin his milk 

Bin thinks his blush is really very cute 

it stars with maybe-MJ™’s ears and slowly slides down his cheeks 

cheeks that Bin would really like to kiss 

Bin: uh ok anywAY

Bin: “yes ok your total will be 3.4k w" 

MJ™ sliding his milk back across the counter and taking his change and coughing 

Bin: 

MJ™: "uh yes do you happen to have this minion tictac box it’s the only one I don’t have" 

Bin:

Bin:

Bin: oh my god he’s a minion fanatic 

Bin: dammit well nobody’s perfect

Bin: "uh yes hold on I’ll go look in the back for you" 

Looking in the back entails MJ™ trailing Bin to the back of the store to get a ladder & trailing him back to the front to check the boxes at the very top of the shelves 

Also entails MJ™ enjoying a nice view of Bin climbing a ladder because holy shit this boy is fit

Also entails MJ™ blushing when Bin catches sight of him staring 

Bin climbing down with the right tic tac box and heading over to the cashier to ring MJ™ up 

MJ™ staring the whole way because wow cashier boy looks different when he doesn’t have a cap on 

His fringe is combed away from his forehead and he looks older, somehow 

Bin: 

Bin:

Bin: "yeah I’ve heard that quite often apparently it makes me look smarter too" 

MJ™ spluttering because wow he said that out loud???? 

Gre a t jo b MJ™ 

Bin: "ok but to be fair I think you look better without your mask too" 

MJ™: 

MJ™: blushing 

Wow truly he needs to stop blushing whenever Bin says something 

There’s absolutely no reason 

He knows he’s beautiful

Just that 

Hearing it from Bin???????? 

Makes his heart do backflips and scream 

MJ™ casually sliding on sunglasses and rolling his way out of GS25 

Bin staring after him and wondering if that was to cover up the fact that maybe-MJ™ was turning very alarmingly red from blushing 

MJ™’s manager staring at the milk packets in his hand

"You know we have like boxes of these free back at the company after your CF with them you don’t have to go to GS25 for them”

MJ™: 

MJ™: “yes well”

MJ™: “what if I’m going for a different reason”

Manager: low-key freaking out because !!!!! what if MJ™ met someone in there and they recognised him and The Incident happened again !!!!!!!!

Manager: also catches sight of MJ™’s new minion tic tac box 

Oh

Oh well NEVERMIND then 

Best leave MJ™ to collect them by himself 

MJ™ tapping away at his phone trying to find social media accounts with the name Moon Bin

Because there’s no way he’s letting such a fine man pass by without doing something 

MJ™ finding out that he’s only a year younger than MJ™ is and that he photographs really well holy shit because all the photos of Bin he finds are A+++ 

Bin crying in GS25 because wow two days in a row is already a good streak what are the chances that maybe-MJ™ will visit again

Close to never probably 

Next day passes and while Bin’s harbouring a small hope for it, it’s quickly shattered when his shift is over and maybe-MJ™ doesn’t appear 

Isn’t sad or anything nope not at all

:-( 

Day after though, 

MJ™: “manager, stop the car pls" 

Manager: wow ok I don’t even have a stomachache what does he want 

MJ™ grabbing his wallet and hopping out of the car 

Manager, yelling out the window: "don’t gET THE DAMN BANANA MILK" 

MJ™, bursting into GS25: GOTTA GET THE BANANA MILK

Bin: 

Bin: 

Bin: aiyah 

And so he rings up two banana milks and a minion tic tacs 

(He wanted to rip the display out of its base the first day he started working but if it’s what keeps maybe-MJ™ coming back then damn what the world thinks of minions, he’ll keep them just for MJ™) 

MJ™ humming in happiness because he finally got the last minion tic tac box in the collection 

Through no help of Bin’s at all nope he totaly didn’t place an order last night for that last remaining box on the chain’s supply site at all nope 

:–) 

MJ™ realising that this

This is it

This is the last minion box in the collection he doesn’t need to stop by GS25 again

And he wants to say something but his manager honks and MJ™ casts one last look at Bin, smiles charmingly, winks then runs out

Bin nearly has a heart attack 

He thought maybe-MJ™ would protecc but he attACC

Bin’s on a cloud for the rest of the day, truly 

Wow that smile

Crinkly eye smile

Beautiful teeth 

wow i’m so sorry i keep inserting visual aids today but !!!! somE BEAUTIFUL THINGS MUST BE SHARED

Bin, chinhands while thinking about MJ™ & sighing dreamily 

When the store is empty he totally doesn’t talk to the MJ™ banana milk display at all 

Totally not at all

"Hey handsome,,,,,,,,,,,," 

"So uh are you mistaken for MJ™ a lot" 

"If you are,,,,,,,," 

"Haha what does MJ™ stand for,,,,,,,,,, Mr 잘생겼어,,,,,,,,,,,," 

Bin, whacking himself in the head because wow truly this is so dumb he’s so dumb

Doesn’t stop him from looking up excitedly every time someone comes in the store though 

And three days later at the very tail end of Bin’s shift when he’s totally given up hope of seeing maybe-MJ™ again 

MJ™ slides into the store 

MJ™ slapping down a five thousand won note and eyeing Bin 

Bin blinking because son????? 

Bin: "uh I can ring up banana milk but I need you to bring the packets to me so I c-" 

MJ™: "no" 

Bin: ??????????

MJ™, already feeling a flush creep up his neck: "uh" 

MJ™: "is this enough" 

MJ™: "to uh buy your number??????" 

Bin thinks he needs to take a seat 

Bin, coughing to buy time 

MJ™: o my god he doesn’t really want to give me his number he was just being a polite employee the whole time 

Bin, sliding back the five thousand won note after a while

MJ™ crying internally already because wow truly he’s just made a fool of himself time to never step into another GS25 ever again 

Bin: "only if this is enough to buy yours" 

MJ™:

MJ™:

MJ™, eventually unfreezing and laughing in relief and huffing: "well see my number is really expensive but I’d be willing to give it to you along with an autograph in exchange for a date" 

MJ™ trying to cover up the fact that he’s basically floundering inside 

Bin, chinhands @ MJ™ and blinking his bright eyes and smiling 

lmk why when i google moonbin chinhands it’s just pictures of seungjun

Wow truly MJ™’s so so so weak already for his smile but then he remembers Bin hasn’t replied

tsk of course he says yes

He’ll probably say yes to anything MJ™ asks let’s be real

Go on a date with MJ™? yeah sure

Get married to MJ™?? Hell yeah 

Kill a man for MJ™?? Bin is down for it 

Same Binnie same
