best mistake

↳ Pairing: Hyunjin x Reader

❧ Genre : Fluff / colleagues to lovers / smut

❧ Warnings: oral (f)

❧ Words : +1,8k

❧ Summary : Many things could happen at a party.

“Look who’s here.” Hana pointed with her glass at someone across the room, her voice filled with venom. You could guess easily who just entered the room, her venom was always directed at one person, one person only, nevertheless you followed her gaze.

Hyunjin walked in, one hand in his pocket, the other roaming through his long hair, looking unfairly beautiful in his black, fancy suit. It was hard to believe that a man like him was actually a simple employee in a company instead of being a model. He had everything to succeed in modeling; the face, the look, the aura and definitely the attitude.

“Mind to tell me what he did this time to piss you off?” You asked genuinely curious. Hana was easy to anger, that was a well-known fact, but somehow with Hyunjin it was even worse. You let it slide for a while, guessing that she would eventually share it with you, but she didn’t. Her dislike only grew.

She huffed and averted her eyes. She emptied her glass of wine in one go before finally looking at you. “Honestly? There’s something about him that just bothers me. The way he talks, the way he behaves – he’s just not someone I can trust.”

“And have you seen how people throw themselves at his feet? It’s so annoying! But he enjoys it.” She added

Huh. That bad, you thought. You took a sip of your own wine and hid your smile in the glass. Clearly, Hana had a bad image of Hyunjin without knowing the real him.

People often misunderstood Hyunjin. Because of his looks; they either liked him, wanted him or envied him. Those who wanted him and didn’t get him, tended to start hating him and spreading rumors which, in your opinion, was unfair.

But you knew better. One year ago, at this same corporate party, you committed the best mistake, by hooking up with him.

Flashback

Those corporate parties were supposed to be a way to thank the employees for their hard work, for their loyalty. It was supposed to be a night of fun, of drinking, of dancing, of singing and strengthen the bonds between colleagues. You liked the idea. Not that you needed this particular party to get close to people, but people tended to act different when under influence of alcohol.

“I’ll be right back.” You told Hana. You heard some of your colleagues mentioning that this year they had improved their alcohol choices by adding cocktails – you were eager to find out.

But before you could even spot the said bar, Hwang Hyunjin appeared right in front of you, holding two glasses. Stunned with his presence, you stepped back, your hand on your chest. He, on the other hand, looked smug.

There was absolutely no reason for Hyunjin to talk to you. Yes, you were colleagues, you had been for a while, but you never really talked to each other. You would usually see him chatting with other women which never bothered you, in fact, you understood the appeal. You weren’t blind, the man was beautiful, not to say a piece of art. But you knew better than to get involved with pretty men.

“Hello, beautiful.”

Well shit, you thought. No wonder, people were so attracted to him. It was obviously not only because of his looks. His voice? The way he said ‘beautiful’, along with the smile – nobody could possibly resist his charms. You had a hard time too.

Instead of answering him, you studied him for a moment, trying to figure out what he wanted from you. Hyunjin wore a full beige suit, the sleeves of his jacket rolled, exposing his veiny forearms (was it your weakness? Maybe). More you stared at him and less you understood his intentions.

“What is it?” You finally asked, curious.

“Why? Am I not allowed to offer a drink to a beautiful lady?” He shook his head, disappointed and yet his mouth curved into a pretty smile, not looking so smug anymore. He shoved the two glasses before you. “Wine or champagne?”

This was definitely fishy. “What if I don’t drink?”

“I’d say you’re full of shit because I saw you drinking champagne earlier.”

Someone had definitely been watching you. You wondered how you missed it. “What a mouth you have, Hwang.”

Apparently, you calling him Hwang did something to him. His whole demeanor changed, going from all smiling and sunshine to wicked and dangerous. Were you impressed? A little.

Without minding your personal space, he leaned closer. Warm breath tickled your ear; your breath hitched in your throat as you waited for his next move. Was it you or you were about to get into unexpected yet very welcomed trouble?

“You have no idea what my mouth can do, pretty.”

Now, that escalated quickly. How did you go from being offered a drink to something more, you had no idea but you shivered at his words. Just like that, he pulled back as if he had simply made a joke.

“Champagne for you then.” He gave you the glass and clinked his glass with yours. He took a sip, completely unfazed with your lack of response. You? You simply stared at him, a little dumbfounded and maybe a little dazed too.

You didn’t want to stare at him for so long, but his words replayed in your mind and unwillingly you find yourself staring at his mouth. This, did not go unnoticed. Hyunjin licked his lips on purpose, watching as you inhaled sharply.

“Intrigued?” He asked playfully.

“Yeah.” You didn’t even try to deny. Were you bewitched? Absolutely.

Hyunjin seemed pleased with your honesty. “Want to find out?”

You certainly did.

Just like that, you found yourself in an empty hall, pressed against a wall. One leg thrown over Hyunjin’s shoulder, you were a moaning mess as he ravaged you. At any moment, someone could walk on you, but you couldn’t care less. Not when such a beautiful man was on his knees, doing a marvelous job with his tongue, with his mouth.

He hadn’t lied. He was so damn good with his mouth, knew exactly what he was doing, when to kiss, when to lick, when to suck. In a matter of minutes, he turned you into a mess, drowning in your pleasure.

“Fuck, Hwang,” You moaned louder than you wanted. You clapped your hand over your mouth to muffle your moans.

“Don’t you dare.” He growled against you.

He pulled back and sent you a glare that could have made you come just like that. His lips glistening with your juices, his eyes glowing with pure lust and hunger. What a sight. “I want to hear you.”

Bloody hell. You obeyed. Maybe because of the way he sounded or maybe because, deep inside, you did want someone to see just how good this man made you feel. You plunged your fingers into his hair, pushing his face back against your pussy. Less talk and more action.

“Better.” He obliged as he closed his mouth around your clit making you gasp loudly. You arched your back against the wall, trying to hold for your dear life.

Hyunjin showed you no mercy as he feasted on you; his every grunt of satisfaction, every flick of his tongue drawing you closer to your orgasm.

“Shit, I’m so close.” You whined, your thighs shaking wildly. You were grateful he was supporting your weight, grounding you in a way.

“Then, come, beautiful.” No matter how nice he sounded, it was an order. One, you had no problem to follow thanks to his sinful tongue. You cried out his name, your whole body shuddering uncontrollably as you came.

Hyunjin straightened up, back to your level. He studied you for a second, a proud smile on his face along with a look of pure fondness. You looked like a mess, but such a pretty mess. Lips swollen with all the kissing. Hair a mess with all the pulling. Just watching you, so dizzy, so consumed with your own pleasure, made him even harder.

“You’re so fucking perfect.” He claimed your mouth, for a hungry and passionate kiss, letting you taste yourself, swallowing your pretty moans.

Back to present

You thought it would be a one-time thing. But it wasn’t. The very next day, Hyunjin came to your office with two cups of coffee and asked you out. One year later and you were still together.

You meet Hyunjin’s eyes across the room, he winked playfully at you, not caring that he wasn’t alone and that people would see it. Maybe it was time for them to find out about you two.

“Please, don’t fall for his tricks.” Hana, who also saw his wink, pleaded.

“Too late for that.” Yes, it was about time.

“What?”

You put your empty glass on the table and looked at Hana, feeling a tad guilty for hiding this important information from her. It wasn’t like you hid in on purpose, it just felt right at the moment. “He’s a sweet guy, Hana. Easily misunderstood. But give him a chance.” With that you started walking toward him. Toward the man that swept you off your feet. Not like it was hard. Hyunjin was truly the sweetest, most caring man you had ever met. He cared deeply and always showered you with love and attention. How could you not love him?

Hyunjin joined you halfway, smiling prettily at you.

“Hello, pretty lady.” He took your hand and planted a soft kiss on your knuckles. What a gentleman.

It made you laugh heartily. Of course, he would do something like that. “Hi, handsome.”

“Are you ready to make people talk?” He asked without letting go of your hand. Instead, he started rubbing your knuckles with his thumb. Another sweet and natural gesture that provoked butterflies in your stomach.

People would talk. You spotted from the corner of your eyes a group of colleagues; some looked surprised with your sudden display of affection, some looked appalled.

“I don’t give a damn.” You said, confident. You inched forward and wrapped your arms around his neck, gently tugging at his locks. “Let them talk.” And you kissed him, making him smile into the kiss.

“Such a troublemaker.”

“Me? And here I thought it was you!” You chuckled

Hyunjin flicked your nose. “Nope. Definitely you.”

“I think your friend is about to have a heart attack.” He added when he saw Hana’s pale face.

You glanced over your shoulder; he was right, Hana looked paler than earlier and you guessed you were the reason. You were in trouble, you knew it, but the explanation could wait for another time. Now, you wanted to fully concentrate on the beautiful, lovely man before you.

“And I think, I’m about to have a heart attack because of how lovely you look tonight.” Hyunjin admitted and leaned closer. “Can we leave? I don’t think I can control myself much longer.”

You rolled your eyes at him. “What am I going to do with you, Hwang?”

“Anything you want, darling.” And he kissed the corner of your lips.

“Then, I suggest we leave.”

Best Mistake

Day 7 of the blogversary drabble week.

Pairing: househusband!wooyoung×ceo!wife!oc (y/n)

Genre: fluff, parents AU

Summary: they made the best mistake.

Word count: 1.2k+

Drabble week masterlist

Masterpost

*DO NOT REPOST, PLZ*

"Mommy will be late today," Wooyoung informed his six years old daughter, Nari, when they came back home after picking her up from school.

"Again?" Her face was adorned with a cute pout.

Wooyoung loved being a househusband. This wasn't his original plan for the future but he met you one night in the club. You looked hot in the embroidered bustier mini dress from Celine. Later on that night, it ended up on the floor of Wooyoung's friend's apartment along with his clothes.

That night, Nari happened. You found out about your pregnancy in the third week. Wooyoung was freaking out. He was still studying and had to make his future. But he didn't step back. He stood tall along with you and helped you out with everything.

Eventually, you both fell in love during pregnancy. He got addicted to your presence and loved to take care of you. He loved taking care of the house, something he naturally liked but now loved.

He came to know that you were CEO of one of the biggest companies on the Global level. Seeing him genuinely excited and happy about doing domestic chores, you suggested to him to not work full time and that you already earn billions and billions and that you all should be fine.

Wooyoung took his time to make a final decision. It didn't take long for him to realize that he wanted to be a househusband. He loved looking after Nari and you. He loved how you loved his cooking and always showered with gifts that he never asked for. You spoiled him.

You just loved being the "man" of the house and spoiling both of your babies.

"You know mommy works hard for us. Let her complete her work and then we will spend more time. Also, this time of the year gets busier," Wooyoung kissed her cheek.

"Daddy?"

"Yes, baby?"

"Are we gonna go grocery shopping?"

"We will go tomorrow. It should be fine for today," he heated some food and severed them both.

"Mm, I wanted ice cream," she pouted.

"We have so many in our freezer," he looked at her.

"No, we don't have that crushed ice type ice cream."

"Oh, you mean slushy?"

"Yeah!"

"We can buy you a slushy. We can go in the evening. Right now, you need to take a nap, missy," Nari grumbled as she finished her plate. Like any other kid, she hated taking naps and argued against it. But the moment her head touched the pillow, she would knock out.

Wooyoung smiled at her sleeping form and kissed her forehead and closed her door. He turned on the TV and resumed the drama that he had been watching for a while. He had already completed the chores. The Laundry lady was a blessing for doing it. He hated doing laundry so did you. She worked here even before Wooyoung met you.

The front door opened. Wooyoung got up to see and saw you already removing your heels and jumping in his arms. He giggled and kissed your head. "Ah, you said you were gonna come home late."

"Mhm, but then all I could think about was you and Nari. It's been a while since I spent proper time with you both… I miss you two energetic beings," you muttered in his chest.

"Yeah? We miss you too," he picked you up and brought you inside, and gently laid on the couch. "Hungry?"

"I'm sorry for not spending time at home… yes, actually."

"Hey, it's alright. It's not like you are always away. I understand that there are busier times…" Wooyoung came back with a plate full of delicious-looking food.

You sat up straight and made grabby hands for the plate. He chuckled and sat next to you. He moved your legs over his and rested the place on them. Taking the fork, he took some food and fed you.

After that, he cuddled you on the couch and you both watched the drama. He kissed you here and there every couple of minutes. You sighed and moved closer to him and enjoyed the moment.

"Mommy!" Not after five minutes, you hear a loud voice, almost as loud as Wooyoung's, of your little princess as she stepped down and jumped in between you two to cuddle. "You came home early!"

"Yes, little lady. I had to come home sooner so I could cuddle my little girl and big boy," the drama long forgotten.

"Daddy said we could go and buy slushy."

"Yeah?"

"Mhm… I wanna walk to the shop."

"We can do that."

"Oh! Park! Can we go there too?"

"We can go there too!"

"I wanna wear a red frock that has strawberries on it with red sandals."

"You got it!"

"Strawberry hair band too!"

Wooyoung cuddled you both and looked at you two so lovingly. He was so grateful for this family he has. He loved how the three of you looked so perfect together. His veiny hand caressed both of your heads. His eyes were filled with love and adoration.

…

Wooyoung was only soft in front of you, Nari, the house staff, and the drivers. Whenever he was in public, especially with you two, he would have a serious face that screamed 'I dare you to come closer to my girls and I will end you all".

There was no smiling picture of him from the business event that you two attended. He only smiled when pictures were taken away from the paparazzi's eyes. It was endearing. You loved how he always gets protective in public.

Right now you all were walking to get ice cream. Nari was in between you two, holding both Wooyoung's and your hand. Her little red frock beautifully danced along with her steps.

"I made a new song," Wooyoung said. He was a musician when he was not a househusband. He loved music with a whole lot of passion so you transformed one of the rooms of the penthouse into a studio for him. There were a lot of latest music equipment along with instruments.

"Really!? Can I listen to it?" You looked at him with interest.

"Of course! After we go back."

"So… how is your album going on? Any progress on that?"

"Mhm, just two more songs to go through… hopefully the audios are ready by next week," he was so excited for his first album. He took his time to work on it. It has been over two years since he was working on that along with many single tracks and OST.

"I'm so excited!" He giggled.

Nari was so confused about the slushy. There were many flavors and she wanted all of them but ended up buying her favorite strawberry. Then you all went to the park. She joined other kids on the slides. It was a nice day outside and you were thankful to spend it with your family.

Wooyoung snaked his arm around your waist and squeezed your side. He rested his forehead against your temple and whispered about how lucky he is to have you and Nari in his life.

"She is the best mistake I ever made," he said as he pecked your lips appropriately in public.

“Imagine one selected day struck out of it and think how different its course would have been. Pause you who read this and think for a moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you but for the formation of the first link on one memorable day.”

Gunnar

Hanging Out with Gunnar

By Kayla Marra

Gunnar Gehl, professionally known simply as Gunnar, is a 21-year-old singer-songwriter from Newport Beach, California. Gunnar released his debut single "Ocean Blue" in 2018 and has gone on to release many singles since then, such as "They Didn't Tell Me" and "Cinnamon."

Gunnar is currently signed with super-manager Scooter Braun and is out on his first-ever headlining tour. He released his debut album Best Mistake on February 24th, and we were lucky enough to sit down and chat with him about the album, signing with Scooter Braun, and even Philly cheesesteaks!

Since we haven’t chatted before, could you introduce yourself and tell our viewers a bit about you and your music?

Gunnar. Taurus. I’m 21 years old. I’m from Southern California and I’ve been doing music for as long as I can remember. I came from a pop background that I was thrown into when I was 16. Short story, COVID was a really big “what am I doing with my life” moment for me and I decided that I was done doing that. I was going to start making the music that I wanted to make, and write stuff that that was meaningful and had purpose to me and had intention and identity. So, I wrote a project called Best Mistake that’s out, so go check it out! That’s what we’re touring, playing some songs, and getting our show dialed right now.

If you had to explain your sound in three words to a new listener, which words would you choose?

I would say “attitude,” “powerful,” and “catchy.” I would say that the main two are powerful and that it has attitude.

You can definitely hear that throughout your sound. Congrats on the release of “They Didn't Tell Me.” It’s such a great song. Could you tell us a bit about the writing process?

That song was really cool because it’s about coming to a city like Philly, playing a show, and it’s in a town. I’ve got a couple of friends who are in college all across the country, so every time we go into each city, I have a good friend of mine who takes us to the bars, restaurants, and all the good stuff. That song is about going to a city where we went to the best restaurant, we went to the best bar. I thought I had been told everything I needed to know about this city, except for one thing, and that’s somebody that I see in the crowd. They didn’t tell me about you. It’s a cool take. It’s a song that I hadn’t really heard done before.

Can you walk us through your writing process in general?

It’s always a little bit different. Sometimes it’s just jamming with the band and finding stuff. Sometimes it’s finding guitar chords and a concept and things come together. I’m a big fan of writing ideas in my phone. I have pages full of random one-line sentences like “fuck a broken heart” or “they didn’t tell me about that person in the crowd.” I’ll go into a session, and we’ll find a progression that we like and words that speak something. Then I’ll go through these ideas that I have – these one-lines or titles – and find one that I feel like I can write to that progression or that sound, melody. Then you write lyrics, melodies, and all that.

So it stems from an idea and goes from that?

Totally. Sometimes, you just write chords and random melodies. Some words just stick to melodies randomly. Songs are weird. They come out like therapy. You just talk and then things stick, and some things get thrown out. It’s always different.

Your debut album Best Mistake came out on February 24th. Which song or songs from the album best encapsulate this new era for you?

What a great question!

You can pick a couple, or if there’s one that you think is a stand-out.

I think “Cinnamon” and “Bad Idea” are the songs that really capture who I am in this project. Like I said, I came from a pop background, and this is a really transitional record for me that I feel is towards the next step of my artistry and my identity. Those songs are the songs that, at least when I play live, feel the most authentic. Just like “I really nailed this one on the head” and “I feel like I really resonate with this.”

Which songs from Best Mistake are you most excited to perform live? If you had to pick your top three...

“They Didn’t Tell Me.” “Bad Idea.” And “Cinnamon” is really cool live. We do a really cool thing with it. “Keep You Around” is really cool live. Honestly, the music was written for live shows, so the show is where they really come to life. I would say that if there’s a song that you even resonate with partially, come see it live and that’s where it makes sense. All of them are better live.

Get that promo. Come out and see Gunnar on tour!

There you go, don’t miss it.

You’re currently signed with Scooter Braun. Congratulations! Can you tell us a bit about how this happened?

It was a relationship that was just cultivated organically. I met him when I was younger. I was like 14 or 15 years old when I was wanting to do this. He was like, “You’re not ready. This is way harder than you think it is and you’re not ready for it.” And I was like, “What are you talking about?” and blah blah blah. I was a kid. I didn’t know anything. He was right, of course. I ended up doing my thing for another two years and writing, going on a tour. That really jump-started things for me a little bit in terms of the industry, gaining a fan base, and activating that fan base. After that tour, I was going to sign somewhere and figure out where made the most sense for me at the time. Scooter came back into the picture and at the time. We had a good idea of what we wanted to do.

So the timing came together.

It was not overnight. Well, it was, and it wasn’t. When it was, it was. But he had known who I was, and we had somewhat-ish stayed in touch for two years.

But then it was the right time and is what it is now! What can you tell us about working with Scooter?

We’ve had ups and downs; I can say that. Mutually, we’ve had ups and downs. I can be an asshole. I really believe sometimes that I want to do it how it should be done and he’s arguably one of the best managers to do it. We’ve had ups and downs. We’ve had arguments. And we’ve had great conversations. Where we are now is really awesome. He’s really family-oriented and very focused on his family, which I admire a lot. He’s almost taken a little bit of a step back from an actual management role, like a day-to-day manager role, and more come in as a mentor or as like an older friend. He always has great advice, and he always has incredible things to say and help with. The day-to-day stuff is run by this guy David, who works underneath Scooter on this project. David gets shit done. Scooter, like I said, he’s just a really good mentor and friend. I can always call him when I need advice or help, or if I need to talk about life shit.

So, not only is he a great manager, but he’s also that support and that push that you need.

Yes, he’s just a good shoulder to lean on and have as a friend.

Who would you say are your biggest songwriting influences, and have they changed over time, or stayed the same throughout the years?

Great question! They have entirely changed over the years. I will say that for this project, I was really inspired by The Black Keys, Lenny Kravitz, The Raconteurs, Jack White, and I was inspired a lot by Chris Cornell. There were a lot of classic rock staple, iconic artists that I was trying to channel. Write songs that were similar to all of those people I named and more. They all wrote music that they wanted to write, that was meaningful and powerful to them. This sounds so dumb but that’s something that I had never really done. I had been a part of everything that I had written before, but I was trying to write for Spotify or radio, or whatever it was. I was trying to write for a mass amount of people. Now by using their influences and many more, I finally got to write for myself and really see how transparent it is. When you listen to a song that’s written by somebody else for somebody else, you can hear the difference between a song that Lenny Kravitz or whoever writes for themselves. It’s really cool. I fell in love with that and started doing that. That’s what this album is. It’s the first album that I made, the first selection of music that I made that’s for me.

We can definitely hear those influences throughout your music, one hundred percent.

I should’ve asked you who you hear in the music before I answered the question.

I would say, Lenny Kravitz.

Wow! that’s great. That’s crazy, that’s cool.

Speaking of influences, who is your dream collab? They can be dead or alive.

That’s the hardest question ever! I would’ve loved to do a song… I couldn’t have because this would’ve never made any sense… but with The Rolling Stones, obviously, they’re incredible. There’s an artist I love, Jean Dawson, who I think is really cool. I would love to work with him. That is such a twisted question because I can think of every generation and think of who I would want to work with at that time. I guess any of the influences I just named I would happily work with. This is what I’ll say – today I would love to work, collab, talk to, and get to know Miley Cyrus. Iconic. She’s just the modern queen of rock n’ roll. She’s so truly herself, so incredible. Her voice ethic, her work ethic, her music. I would fucking do anything, actually, to work with and collaborate with Miley Cyrus.

Manifest it, you never know!

(He sings “Flowers” by Miley Cyrus.) I can buy myself flowers.

You guys have similar vibes! I can see it working.

She’s an inspiration. I should’ve said that. Miley Cyrus if you’re watching this, I know you are, I love you.

Miley is incredible. I’m sure every day on tour is surreal, but can you think of a specific “I made it” or “pinch me” moment?

Oh God, no. I’ve nowhere near made it. But every night at the shows, it’s not an “I made it” moment, I would never say that I made it. I would say that when I get to be up on stage and do what I love I just feel blessed, lucky, and grateful. Whether there are six people, sixty people, or six hundred people, whatever it is, the fact that I get to go up there and do what I love to do. That it affects and allows other people in the room to feel something, that’s just the coolest thing of all time. I mean, I get to play with my friends, we get to rock out and express ourselves and connect with people in a room. No matter who it is, how many, age, gender, whatever it is, everybody is just in one place enjoying live music. The fact that you get to be on stage every night is like, fuck, I can’t believe this.

It sounds like a dream.

It’s the best.

Do you have anything you’d like to say to your fans coming out to see you on tour?

I just really appreciate it. This is the first time that I’ve ever gone out on the road by myself. It’s been a success. It’s been a failure. It’s been everything in the middle. I’m just excited because I truly feel like we’re at the beginning of something great and special. The album isn’t out yet when this is being recorded, it’s out next week before the last show. But we did this with people who have just been waiting and ready for new music for years and years. Who have known that there was something that I was getting to that I feel like I finally have. If you’ve made it to this tour, I appreciate you and I feel like I know that even if it’s in a year, two years, or five years from now, we’ll be able to look back at this. I remember each and every one of you and have those memories of this tour. We talk about this with the band all the time. This is our green room. This is a fucking bed. (He motions around the room) We’re in a basement, this is where people nap on break from the restaurant. There are eight of us in a van. Some nights we’re in really shitty hotel rooms. It sucks in the best way, where it’s like we get to look at each other and truly believe that this is hopefully the beginning and the smallest that it will be. Each step from here will mean more because we’ll be able to look back at this. This goes to everyone that made it to the show. That’s how I hope you feel moving forward and for the next tours. The goal is that things just get bigger and bigger and the rooms get larger and larger, and more full. To be here on this tour is really cool.

We can all tell that it’s just going to get bigger and bigger from here. Lastly, we are in Philly, so I have to ask, have you had a Philly cheesesteak?

Two of them! In twelve hours.

What did you get on the Philly cheesesteak?

I’m weird when it comes to eating. I don’t know what you get, like all these guys get the mushrooms, and this and that. I just want bread, meat, and cheese. That’s it.

What kind of cheese?

Whatever they put on. They didn’t even ask! Whatever the white normal cheesesteak kind is.

American? Provolone?

It’s like creamy cheese. All I know is that I got a Philly cheesesteak, plain, last night, and tonight. It’s fucking good. I’ve never been a huge fan. I never understood it. Now I get it. It’s just good.

You have to be here to get it.

I wish everyone could experience it. It is just like a staple thing to get.

Any time of day, Philly cheesesteak.

What’s your go-to?

You’re going to think this is so gross, but I swear by it. Cheese Whiz as the cheese, fried onions, and meat. You go up to the counter and say, “let me get a Whiz Wit.”

What else is on there? Onions?

Onions, yeah.

I respect it. I don’t understand it, but I respect it.
