SPINNING BOTTLES

part 1 part 2 part 3 lil extra

Ten pairs of eyes were glaring at you, drilling malicious holes into your body. “Wait, what? The girl you were talking about is y/n?” “Her? Seriously?” Panic arose in your body. Fuck Fuck Fuck.

You got dizzy, as the room started to spin. Anxiously, you feared blacking out in front of everyone. Hastily, you got up and hurried out of the room - having everybody’s judgmental eyes on you was too much. Your trembling body did its best not to collide in front of your peers, supporting you as long as it could but you didn’t have much time. You pushed yourself through the masses and finally made it out alive. “Fuck, what was that?!”, you talked to yourself, trying to make sense out of this. “He’s in love with me? With me? How is that possible?” You looked back at the door you escaped from, feeling slightly disappointed as he didn’t follow you. “What were you expecting, y/n? He’s got a girlfriend.” Your thoughts were racing, each thought brought you more confusion. “But why did he get together with her if he is in love with me? Was he just lying?” You leaned against the brick wall, feeling grateful for the cold touch that soothed your nerves a bit. Your therapist once taught you how to release fear instantly, so you tried doing that. “What was that again? Five things I can see, right? Okay, what can I see?” You looked around quickly, trying to name things on the spot. “Trash can. Bingo. Okay, one. Stars. Two. Parked cars. Three. My grannie’s rings on my fingers. Four. Cigarette buds on the floor. Five.” You took another deep breath and continued the exercise. “Four things I can touch. The brick wall. Easy, ha! One. My thighs. Two. My feet are touching the ground. Three. My tongue is touching my palate, okay four.” You jumped up and down happily, already feeling better. “Three things I can hear. I’m hearing the music coming from inside. One. I’m hearing a dog barking somewhere. Two. I’m hearing a ringing in my ears. Three.” You took another deep breath. “What else? Two things I can smell, right? I smell the alcohol on my shirt. One. Oh, and I smell the fresh night air. Two.” By now your heart had stopped racing like hell, you finally felt calmer. “What was the last thing?” The last part had slipped your mind, no matter how hard you tried you couldn’t think of it. “Come on, y/n. Think. What was the last part?” “It’s one thing you can taste”, you heard a male voice say. Your eyes widened in surprise as you realized whom it belonged to. “Eun Woo”, you muttered silently. Your heart jumped a little at the realization that he did in fact follow you outside. The boy who brought you endless love and joy stood right before you, his pained expression, and empty eyes piercing through you. You felt your pulse quicken again, not sure if this was due to your frantic nerves or the butterflies in your stomach. “So, what do you taste, y/n?” You were unable to speak, you had no idea how to talk to him anymore. His eyes bore into you, urging you to finally explain yourself. “Nothing”, you mumbled. “Nothing?”, Eun Woo scoffed as he came closer, now cornering you against the brick wall. “Not even the taste of betrayal?”

𐙚 W.C: ??????

𐙚 PLAYLIST: bound 2 by TV girl. Bound to fall in love.

Angry, you quickly finished your breakfast and started preparing for your Paris Trip.

8th May Morning (irl meet day)

KOREAN AIRPORT

"rule 34. Don't be rude to her", Jake said repeating the set of rules he made for the last time to him, which was returned by an annoyed eyeroll from the brownish hair boy standing in front of him, Sunghoon. "DUH JAKE. ENOUGH!", Sunghoon whisper-shouted at him. Jake was about to open his mouth to give out yet another sassy reply but couldn't because the announcement for Sunghoon's Plane told them to hurry up. So, they only hugged and exchanged warm smiles with soft eyes.

Sunghoon ran to where the people were lining up and gave a last wave to Jake before he went in the plane.

And in a few hours he reached Paris....

8th May Morning (irl meet day)

Washington DC airport

"Duhhh, I don't wanna leave you just to go meet that jerk!", You whined while clingy onto Hana's small body. "Sh girl! Behave even if he is your enemy", her sentence only made you whine more, "you got this."

You two kept talking untill the announcement for boarding went off, a last hug and you were running towards the massive crowd trying to form a straight line.

... And with that you are off to meet Park Eun Paris!

8th May

PARIS 🇫🇷 🥖🖌️

(both's pov)

You looked around in the crowded Street infront of the cafe he mentioned in texts.

Sunghoon's heart jumped with joy when he saw YOU, his childhood bestfriend, the girl of his dreams, the one his all novels are about, instead of Lee Nari. But he decided to give you a surprise.

He quietly crept in behind you and gathered up all his courage to talk to you after so many years. You are still the most prettiest girl in his eyes.

"Looking from someone, miss?", he said in his most manly tone with a sweet smile on his face. You turned around to that voice your ears cried for every night for 24 years.

A smile instantly broke onto your face, the same reaction as his after seeing you here and for the first time after so many years. An ethereal Euphoria for both of you.

"SUNGHOONNNNNNN"

"YNNNNN"

you both jumped into each other's hands, nuzzling your noses in your necks, making heads turn and disgusted looks received. But who cares?

"ugh I missed you so much."

"Me too! You are the same chubby girl I knew once!"

Tears of happiness came down from both of you all's eyes.

"what are you doing here tho? And what do you do for a living now? Do you have a boyfriend?", Sunghoon boomeranged you with questions of all time. "Calm down boy. No I have no boyfriends, pure Virgin. I am an Author right now and am here to meet a jerk who is also an author. You?", You answered, holding onto his arm like he is going to run away if you don't.

"I came here to meet someone I hate and am also a SINGLE author!", Sunghoon answered.

"wait yn.... What's your pen name?", Sunghoon asked, scared that his thoughts might turn out right.

"Lee Nari! You?"

His whole world crushed. Lost puzzel pieces now found and placed in the correct places. His face turned white.

"I am... Park Eun. Sorry Yn. I truly didn't know...", he said weakly looking towards the ground.

Your face turned white. It cannot be. You never imagined to this.

"hoonie! It's okay!", yet you moved on quick.

"ugh it's not! SWARY YN!", but he couldn't.

A few minutes of comforting him and he was okay.

You both coped up with eachother's lives and were happy best friends again.

(NEXT YEAR)

24th March, 2043

A happy year. No, the happiest year. The happiest day, better.

The day Sunghoon proposed to you after you two met.

You both moved in together in Paris and continued with both of your author lives. Sunghoon still video called his friends back in Korea while you and Hana became long distance best friends.

But this day, He called you for a Lunch at your favourite fancy restaurant and after that you both went to The Tidal Basin for enjoying the view but he knelt down in front of you with a bouquet of flowers in his hands. You accepted him immediately and both of you two had your first kiss in front of it. To sum the day up, it was amazing.

6th May

(SUNGHOON'S BIRTHDAY)

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOON!", he started his birthday morning by your scream and a lot of kisses all over his face. The rest of the day you two did all the things that made Sunghoon happy, together. And at night, you two went to an expensive resturant.

"this might be my best birthday ever.", He said to you while stargazing on the rooftop with only a warm blanket wrapped around you two, on his birthday night. It's 2:34am.

"why?"

"because I spent it with you."

Wow. I really enjoyed the first two episodes of Castaway Diva. The teen actors were fantastic setting up the heartbreaking backstory! I was 100% sold. Park Eun Bin shines as a fish out of water. Bringing joy to everyday circumstances and big moments as well as showing grief in her desire to find meaning in her stunted life.

As for the brothers, Woohak is giving total little brother vibes to Bogeol's annoyed responsible big brother vibes. Even though he's supposedly older, Woohak seems like a shadow to Bogeol: wearing matching clothes, working in the same field at the same company, wanting to be like him but also rebel when he feels like it. He's got that carefree baby of the family vibe. Whereas Bogeol seems like he's caring the weight of the world, helping with his family and diligent in his work but not letting himself stand out too much.

This makes sense if Bogeol is really Kiho because he would feel responsible for Mokha being lost at sea. It's interesting that Bogeol only sees a random girl hugging Woohak on the beach from a distance; then it cuts to all of them on the boat ride back. We never saw Bogeol's face when he finally saw her up close and introduced herself as Mokha. This is a huge omission. Bogeol is the one who regularly volunteers for trash cleaning on random deserted islands and knows how many of them exist in Korea. We see that Mokha is eating kimbap on the boat ride off the island. This is the exact meal that Kiho gave Mokha when they were waiting for the ferry ride. Did Bogoel give her the kimbap? While Bogeol cautiously keeps his distance from Mokha, he immediately buys her new shoes when they get off the boat. This hails back to the shoes Kiho gave Mokha when they ran away.

I think the guilt that he (Kiho/Bogeol) failed Mokha is what is making him keep his distance. Along with the fear of his father, not just for himself but for everyone he cares for if his identity is ever revealed that is keeping him from getting close to Mokha. However, Bogeol is also the one to suggest they use Ranjoo as their next variety show subject. It's like he just can't help himself. Deep down he desperately wants to be by Mokha's side.

As for Woohak's memory loss, it was the perfect cover to switch the brothers ages and give Kiho the new name of Bogeol. It wouldn't surprise me if the mother had already changed her name. Given the amount of memories that Kiho had of his mother before she ran away and the relative closeness of the brothers ages, they may not be related by blood. It is also possible that Kiho's dad found their new family and abused Woohak to the point that he was so badly beaten it caused the permanent memory loss. I wouldn't be surprised if their new family is under witness protection so Kiho's dad can't find them again. Man, that's dark.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to Mokha breaking down Bogeol's walls just like she did the first time around and helping Woohak when he discovers why he has memory loss. While the brothers support Mokha as she finally begins her journey to achieve her dreams.

2022 in kdramas

*that I finished

I spent my January nursing all that The Red Sleeve broke (my heart), nourishing what it gave me (provocation to write, notes here), cursing what it did for my overall k-drama viewing expectations. I am still mad that Lee Se-young wasn’t recognised for what she did in TRS, a show that belongs to Deok-im and her alone. I had finished Good Manager a day before, a long-winded bromance between Namkoong Min and Lee Jun-ho. I didn’t think much and truth be told, I don’t remember much either. Happiness fell flat after three episodes; stayed for the remaining episodes because of the excellent chemistry between the main characters. I evidently watched Coffee Prince many years too late but I saw every reason why I might have never finished school if I had seen it earlier.

Run On kept me thrilled on occasion, became white noise otherwise. I loved seeing my two joys, running and translation, woven into the show, loved the miracle of found friendships and homes, and a defiant writing philosophy that healthy relationships are worthy of being probed. Despite how unbearable Our Beloved Summer was about Ji-woong’s unrequited love, I could see the good-naturedness of the story writer-nim was trying to tell. I loved watching why the two leads fell apart and what brought them together. I loved that this had something to do with communication but I loved even more, that it just had to do with having grown up and realising you can love something you’re not and that’s one way to experience life. Kairos is the most underappreciated show that tackles time-travel. Great writing with exceptional attention to detail.

February was spent with the duology of the Ahn Pan-seok—Kim Eun—Jung Hae-in universe, the k-drama equivalent of Austenian bliss. Both shows benefit from Kim Eun’s thesis that romance may be intimate but love, in a patriarchy, demands a public that must accept it. Ahn Pan-seok is the finest orchestrator of moments that feel like the time lapse that falling in love is, that thing that people often reduce to soulmatism or violins at first glance. In One Spring Night, it works. In Something in the Rain, it fails because Kim Eun was still finding her voice as a writer who is stumped by what makes for the ‘right’ kind of conflicts in a 16-episode arc. I don’t think that’s the only problem with SITR but it’s the one she solved with marvelous elegance in OSN. In both shows, the main leads are charmingly, refreshingly communicative with each other. But it is in OSN, where Kim Eun figures out that being vulnerable is not the same as talking about vulnerable things, and how to make it count for all relationships that matter. Son Ye-jin and Han Ji-min, I love you both equally.

In March, I began paying an honorarium to the guard of my Jang Hyuk horny jail. Deep-rooted Tree made me cry in at least 14/24 episodes. A Joseon murder mystery wrapped in a drama about accessible language as the beginning to breaking down class barriers and nation-building, with nerdy love for character interiority? I ate that up. Han Seok-kyu is the only reel King Sejong ever. Just like Jang Hyuk is the only reel Bang Won ever. My Country: The New Age is a shallow show with hilarously lofty dialogues and masterful action sequences. In my most generous reading, MCTNA attempted to ask if Bang Won’s modernity could have come at a lesser price; is modernity not equivalent to audacity? Woo Do-hwan is almost as good at portraying audacity as Jang Hyuk.

Having Park Eun-bin and Kim Min-jae play Brahms in a riveting duet is exactly what Do You Like Brahms? set out to do. Introverts are rarely done well on the screen and getting it right with not one, but two leads is an achievement too. If you are a person fuelled by that mystical "passion," the creative arts industry can be a cruel place. Chae Song-ah is, by all accounts, not as talented as the others around her, and this is not a story of stick-with-it-till-you-rise-from-the-ashes. Even the hope that it might be is wonderful writing because Song-ah is far more assertive than anybody gives her credit for, like a baby who holds onto your finger with shocking strength. In classical music especially, there is no such thing: you are good or you are out. Park Joon-young is great and yet, he is begging for an out, because being good is just the beginning. These two and the other characters are deeply in love with music and they want to protect that love. They all find out that in the end that love needs sustenance, not protection.

I binged Fated to Love You in April, in a private experiment to see how much Jang Hyuk brainrot I can take. (Let’s remember this is a summary of the shows I finished.) I came out of it with brainrot for one more Jang. Outrageous show, outrageous star power. Soundtrack No. 1 was a forgettable experience save for the fact that I am now a person who looks up Park Hyung-sik’s MDL page on the reg. I think everybody is right about Twenty-Five Twenty-One: (a) Baek Ye-jin and Na Hee-do were always going to break up (b) It was a terribly-conceived finale. Two other opinions I am going to leave here: (c) Ji Seung-wan, darling of my heart, should have been the lead for the show that writer-nim actually wanted to do. (d) More people would see this, and also may have responded with thoughts beyond ship discourse, if Na Hee-do was played by anyone other than Kim Tae-ri.

I think people were right about criticising Lee Soo-yeon’s Grid too. The science of time-travel took some leniency. I get why the finale would have been unsatisfying, even as a setup for a potential second season. But I offer that the thesis of LSY’s shows is never in how they end, because they are not moral science lessons for the future. Grid’s deeply introspective themes of time-travel and the greater good begins with the the sun, the most reliable force in a human's life, turning against mankind. This immediately takes away a human as ultimate antagonist, when it easily could have been. For LSY, the future is the darkest place with unknowable power and we have the task of paving a path of light towards it. Time-travel is not the science-fiction component with which to imagine our behaviour in an unrecognisable, but possible, place. It’s the fucking fantasy. Even if we got the chance to change the past, we really couldn't. The future is what we have got to change and the present to make the first move. Those dreams of going back, repenting hard enough, flirting with what ifs? Not going to cut it. LSY's meta elegance is in bringing the intensely personal version of this theme in parallel to the big one: divorce. FWIW, she had all these threads tie together by Episode 7. I get why she said Grid is the next iteration of her life's work—an exceptional mind.

Park Min-young could have chemistry with a rock, and thank god, Seo Kang-joon isn’t one. When The Weather Is Fine is the rightest show about life in the countryside. It nails the fine line of a tight-knit community that shows up for you and also, how easily they can be the first source of judgement, as people who know your secrets. Best book club in a k-drama. Very well done pining. Imo is my favourite character and she should publish that novel because “Hey. Who do you think killed my brother-in-law?” is a banger opening line. I first saw Lee Jae-wook in this show.

During the weekends of April and May, there was My Liberation Notes. I watched it like a scheduled therapy session, although I do not think Park Hae-young is aiming for catharsis with her works (despite it seeming like the most common outcome). I didn’t have the word “healing” in my everyday vocabulary so often before k-dramas. It’s a genre of k-drama that is meant to be comforting, to inject slowness into everyday life as an antidote for the ills of modern society. Bullshit. There are multiple wide shots of the Yeom family tending their farms, eating in peace amid the greenery, and they are claustrophobic. It might feel like complaints, and you’re free to think that. But PHY knows, as most people my generation do, finding an escape is actually really easy. That’s not the point. The point is to be less sad about being who you are; to know that who you are is enough to make a living, find love if you want it, make peace with your family. This show is about siblings as the real loves of your lives.

I don’t remember what I was doing in June.

Pachinko is not a k-drama strictly speaking, but let’s do it. I adore Min Jin Lee and I am afraid to admit how emotionally attached I am to the world of Kogonada’s eyes. In MJL's book, the linear structure is meant to make you feel like the history of a family can also be a history of the other themes that consume intellectual space. In the show, there is no such thing as a past, or a history. Nothing is done, nothing is over and under the rug. You see Sun-ja’s and Solomon’s stories at the same time because there's no distance that makes what happened then far enough from what's happening now. For this alone, Pachinko is a superior adaptation. I have a shrine for every woman in this show. Watching Yumi’s Cells 2 has been among the happiest experiences of my TV viewing life. Bloody Heart could have been bloodier. I respected that it reached a conclusion without feeling the need to give a neat answer to its central question of assertive power as driver of both unity and chaos—there’s humility in realising that the answer need not be determined in one generation. Jang Hyuk thirst got me into the show, Kang Hanna’s outstanding face and smarts kept me there. Lee Joon’s Lee Tae nearly made me quit. Park Ji-yeon, muah. I watched the back half of Signal in July. It is no fault of the show that I was zapped out of will to see women being killed. There were two scenes of Kim Hye-soo’s that wrecked me bad, I had to quit watching for couple of days. Thank you to the makers for giving a genre-defining template. (Kairos did do it better.)

Alchemy of Souls was super fun as a weekly watch. Daeho is boring to me as a setting and the plot ventures into territories worthy of critical thought once in a blue moon. But I admire the ambition, and the storytelling does have its moments. Lee Jae-wook is a menace. Inhaled Rookie Historian Goo Hae-ryung over four days; I enjoyed it. Extraordinary Attorney Woo tried. I also binged Reply 1997. Reply 1988 is always going to be my favourite and I am not going to watch R1994 for a conclusive test of veracity.

Between these shows, their endearing efforts at being fulfilling shows about love of different kinds, I nibbled on episodes of My Mister. I couldn’t watch two episodes together; it was so potent, so unbelievably demanding of my attention in every way imaginable, and I gave it willingly. I wrote about the show here.

October brought the best mystery/thriller show of the year: May It Please The Court. It was written with a clear idea of how much to bite, knew how to chew on it, and that’s why it also landed the best conclusion of the year. The show is astute about forgiveness and justice, and well, forgiveness in justice. I think the show’s success is in how it trusted both its characters and the audience to process what this means to them. Jung Ryeo-won and Lee Kyu-hyung have impeccable married energy from first scene. Lee Sang-hee is the best, the hottest, the finest.

Little Women is the mystery/thriller show with the most potential of the year. It wasn’t until episode 11 that the show lost me but I do think the flaws began revealing themselves a lot earlier. I didn’t appreciate the show’s insistence that the central crime of the show was Sang-ah’s murders and not the patriarchal cult that pretends to be a meritocracy. I thought the Vietnam War references were in conversation for a whole different reason: I viewed it as a nod to the first war where losing means more than winning. That war is the blueprint for the 21st century exertion of control for the right to capital and target audience, rather than mere territory and pride. But this symbolism wasn’t what came through and I understand those who pushed back on how the war's references, along with an exotic flower, rang hollow. LW did get characterisation right, particularly the way poverty alters how intelligence is perceived and valued. It’s ambitious premise—that Louisa May Alcott was wrong in deciding these sisters would taper their poverty with unusual politeness—is radical.

I will rewatch the first 11 episodes of May I Help You in several trying days of my future. Baek Dong-joo and Kim Tae-hee, butlers to the dead and the alive respectively, are companions, friends and lovers, in that order. What's not to love? The acts asked of them are rarely grand but they are delivered with emotional heft. I forgive all the detours taken from episode 12. I tend to find it dull when everybody and everything is connected to each other. In this one's ending, it's quite lovely. I see the vision in saying that we only know Dong-joo’s story because that’s the story we have tuned into. The miracles could be happening to anyone at all. I wish writer-nim wasn’t so Christian throughout—the throwaway line about suicide put me off. Best piggy-backing scenes in a rom-com and also, favourite kiss, I am going to say.

cupids arrows; i wanna be me, me, me

pairing- not exactly enemies to lovers but along those lines. idol niki x idol fem reader park y/n (jays baby sister) (debuts in gg)

warnings- mentions of dinner, singing, dancing, fear

synopsis- flashback as jay's younger sister in school, you and your friend decided to audition for hybe at the age of 14. when you pass and she doesn't, you get selected to join a survival show. when your unnies and the one member younger than you debut and you don't, you are announced as the 8th member of enhypen. how does getting cheated on benefit the fact that you and niki aren't very fond of each other?

prev <;- m.list -> next

you divided the parts and practiced the dance. you practiced your singing and all learned your parts. it was time for dinner. you sat with you group and talked for an hour or so.

after dinner, you and se-un went to practice your lines. you got all of yeji's lines, rora and soo-ah got to split lia's lines, cho-gyung got ryuijin's lines, eun-sa got yuna's lines and se-un got chaeryeong's lines.

"unnie, are you happy with yejis lines?" ''yea, are alright with chaeryeongs lines, she gets the least lines in wannabe" "yea, maybe i can just show my dancing skills instead" "aslong as youre alright with it."

you and your group danced and sang live and the judges gave you feedback. evryone did well but needed a little work with making your vocals a little more stable.

the other groups dancing was a little weak and the people who were supposed to sing the high notes, were a little weak, min-cha failed at mias high note and soo-yeon just needed to push herself a little more to get siyhyeons note.

it was time for bed after all that practicing. it was currently 9:30 and lights out was at 11. you and se-un decided to practice untill 10:30 and then get cleaned up and sleep.

10:30 pm came sooner than you expected so you ans se-un went to get clean up and eventually sleep.

the next morning you guys had breakfast adn practiced until all of your vocals sounded stable.

"ladies, please go to the lobby for a special surprise!" yong-hee told everyone over the speakers and you sat down on the chairs in the lobby.

the screen turned on and five gorgeous women appeared on screen.

"All in us! hello, we are itzy!" everyone cheered and screamed at the sight of itzy introducing themselves.

"hello girls !! we heard that six of you are covering our song !! we feel really happy and are very excited to see your performance!!"

yejis words made you feel excited and giddy inside

"yes, speaking of your performance, we will be visiting so we can watch the performances. " lia spoke

"we wont be telling you when but we will definitely be here for rehearsals to give feedback before the performance." ryunjin smiled and chaeryeongs words."

"once again, we are so excited to see you perform our song, bye for now!!" yuna said goodbye and left all you girls screaming in joy.

sweet night. wonwoo.

masterlist

a/n: this is my favorite song right now :)

requested: nope.

summary: !idolreader has to sing a duet with Wonwoo.

word count: 1.1k

A duet. They wanted me to sing a duet with an idol. To say I was shocked was an understatement. Sure, I had a lot of people supporting my music career, but never would I have thought that I would have gotten this kind of opportunity. When my manager had first told me the news, I could practically feel my heart leap out of my chest. My palms slightly perspiring as I realized what this could mean for me, good or bad.

On one hand, this could boost my career exponentially. I would have more loving fans, more record deals, or even have a chance to collaborate with other artists in the future. On the other hand however, I was very much aware of some of the toxic fan culture that surrounded k-pop. Nevertheless, I wasn't going to let that be the reason I miss such a wonderful opportunity.

Pledis had contacted my manager asking for a collaboration between me and a member of one of the groups that was signed under them. Unfortunately, the email was vague so we didn't know who I was going to be singing with or what the song choice would be. They only specified that if I was interested in participating, that we should schedule a meeting at a later date.

My mind raced as I thought about who I could possibly be singing a duet with. I knew it wasn't going to be a soloist, so I could already cross that off of my list. I figured it had to be a person from either fromis_9 or Seventeen. I highly doubted that it could be someone from another group, but I still had to be alert. Though I didn't really know of the two groups, I spent the next week or so learning all I could about them.

Unfortunately, the week drug on as slowly as it possibly could. All I could think about, or feel rather, was this pit of anxiousness in the bottom of my stomach. I had hoped that whomever it may be, we would get along well. I think what I was most nervous about was making sure that I would perform my best.

Certainly, I was proud of my career and where it had led me. Yet, no matter how many accomplishments I had achieved, there was always a small voice of doubt sitting in the back of my mind. I had a few sleepless nights where I would question myself, wondering if I would be good enough. I knew I had to keep my head up though, and that is exactly what I had planned to do.

Suddenly, I found myself walking into the doors of the Pledis building. My heart fluttering as my manager started talking to one of the staff members. This experience didn't feel real quite yet, my palms perspiring with anticipation. After a few minutes of walking, we reached a small room, inside two men were already sitting down and talking quietly amongst themselves. As soon as they heard us come in, they got up and politely bowed as they introduced themselves.

"Hi, I am Jeon Young-hwan. Seventeen's manager." He gave us a polite grin as he silently cued the man next to him to introduce himself as well.

"Jeon Wonwoo." He spoke clearly. My eyes widening slightly, realizing that I would have recognized him even before he offered his name. Thanks to my anxiety, studying the two groups over the past week offered me a little bit of help. He offered a grin, though smaller than the man's next to him. I wonder if he was as nervous as I was. I decided against it, assuming that he and all of Seventeen had collaborated with other artists multiple times before.

"Gim Hana. This is Park Eun-Ji. We appreciate you for reaching out to us and taking an interest in Eun-Ji's talent." Hana nodded her head curtly, a wide grin on her face. I could tell that she was more than ecstatic. Once she received the email she was practically bouncing off of the walls with joy. I can't say that I wasn't either. It was nice to have such an adept company notice my talents.

We all sat down as Young-hwan began to go over some of the legalities of the future contract. Over the next half hour or so, he began to switch the subject as he looked between me and Wonwoo. He smiled briefly as he collected a few pieces of paper that were piled in the back of his folder. He handed both of us what looked to be a sheet of music. I looked down at it, a smile coming to my face as I realized what the song choice was.

Sweet Night - V

I had listened to this song a numerous amount of times, and never would I have guessed that it would be the one I would sing a duet with. I knew this song like the back of my hand. Evidently, Young-hwan could tell I knew this song because he asked me if I liked it. I nodded my head as we all shared a short laugh with each other. I glanced at Wonwoo, our eyes connecting briefly as we both looked back at our papers. A small collection of goosebumps suddenly rose to the surface of my arms.

"I apologize we could not tell you the fine details of this collaboration at an earlier date, but know that we sincerely value this new partnership." He smiled at me and Hana, gathering up his papers as he talked. "We will be in contact with you soon to set up a rehearsal date. In the meantime, please think the contract over and make sure that it is something that you are 100% committed and wanting to do. Thank you."

We said a series of short farewells as we soon escorted ourselves out of the building. A sense of giddiness rushed over me as I let out a small squeal. Hana got in the car with me as she looked over, a wide smile plastered on her face. Starting the car, she paused as she analyzed my face.

"Well, is this something you are absolutely wanting to do?" She asked in a half-joking manner.

"Hana!" I looked at her bewilderingly, laughing slightly at her question. She raised her hands up in defense, knowing that it would absolutely be something that I would look forward too. Admittedly, it would probably be the only thing I would truly be able to focus on from now.

I leaned my head against the window, sighing contently to myself. I felt the ends of my mouth slightly curl up as I couldn't help but smile. I only hoped that all this euphoria I was experiencing, that Wonwoo was feeling a little bit of it too. I could practically feel my eyes rolling into the back of my head, Wonwoo's brown eyes being the last thing that I recall thinking about.
