Modern Path of BIM Structural Engineering 
Construction projects of all sizes start with structural engineering services. It is enhanced through the appropriate application of technology and BIM tools, which support the project's successful completion and concept validation. The engineers are aware of the need for steel detailing services while they work on their projects. Using detailing services is done to create a complete plan with all the required drawings and paperwork. For the manufacture and erection of steel, BIM structural engineering in the modern era continues. 
Creating comprehensive steel shop drawings services and layout drawings for use in the construction of projects with steel structures and compositions is a key duty of steel detailers. Using the most recent BIM tools and technology, these structural drawings and plans incorporate detailed project parameters. 
How the process of Structural BIM Services works in modern construction? 
Incorporating 3D BIM: The 3D BIM process has emerged as the most popular and important tool for the team of steel detailers and fabricators. In comparison to 2D detailing, the process is digitized through the use of 3D BIM software and technology. Only 3D modeling services provide a thorough and data-driven BIM model that directs the entire understanding and associated information for the project. Also, the entire procedure has a great chance of gathering all the project-related data. 3D BIM technology aids in the integration of the crucial data and services needed for the project. Also, the team has access to make any adjustments that are required at a later stage of the project. With a collaborative strategy provided, the BIM model is employed for manufacture, erection, and detailing. 
Process Automation: The construction sector has accuracy with a smart and automotive work strategy in the modern era. By eliminating redundant manual tasks, this automated approach helps to properly and precisely simplify the project. Some tasks have a solid result when current steel detailing is used, aiding in the production of other data and reports. The automation method reduces the amount of rework and erection-related time, energy, and effort needed. And in fact, projects can finish on time with an automation process because the labor expense is kept to a minimum. 
Handling Data and Information: Steel detailing and manufacturing is a time-consuming manual process that includes flowcharts, communication requirements, and information entry. Therefore, the AEC companies use Management Information System technology, which has simplified the entire project process through its information and data storage methods. Moreover, it provides a real-time project update. Using MIS reduces work and consolidates data onto one platform. 
Application of Software and Tools: The project is carried out using the most recent BIM tools and software. The team chooses which software to employ and when and how to implement it in the project based on the work being done on it, along with its needs and requirements. 
Shop Drawings, Fabrication & Other Detailing: With the use of modern tools, the team is able to completely eliminate all human labor for the project's handmade drawings and designs. For steel detailers and fabricators, working with shop drawings for details is essential. Hence, project work is more accessible, quicker, and faster when shop drawings and detailing are exact. 
Clash Detection Services: Identifying clash is another essential component of the project that must be integrated. Before the project begins, the team can rapidly resolve any conflicts as part of their work. With clash detection services, the team works on the project effectively and without any commotion. 
Real-Time Project Management Update: The project manager's primary duty is to provide the team with a real-time project management update. The team can share the project update in one drive using the most recent tools and technology. Based on the client's comments, they can start the work that has to be redone. Owing to this, structural engineers and steel detailing work have experienced significant reduction in construction time using Building Information Modeling. 
BIM structural engineering can now be applied to various building projects, utilizing modern software tools. To get structural BIM services like Rebar Detailing Services, clash detection, shop drawings or structural analysis, contact expert BIM consultants of Tejjy BIM Inc USA.

Mission: Buy the Armored Core VI Blu-rays
Tumblr media
1. "621. Here's a request from a friend. Street dates for the Armored Core VI Blu-rays are in. Volume 1 includes Episodes 1 and 2. Deluxe Limited Edition packs in a bonus novella, if you wanted to know how G4 and G5 ended up in the Redguns. Audio commentary from me and Michigan too. Bring it home, 621."
2. "This is V.II Snail. I am commissioning you for this request—consider it a privilege. Having been favorably received, Volume 2 of the Armored Core VI Blu-rays is now available for reservation. Episodes 3 and 4 detail the events up to and including Operation Wallclimber. Packaged as a bonus is a novella that lays bare V.IV's induction into the Vesper Squad, as well as some of the meager deaths of Walter's mutts. Proof of your ability is on the line—you will not return empty-handed."
3. "Raven, it's me. Volume 3 of the Armored Core VI Blu-rays is going on sale. That means Episodes 5 and 6, where you take on the Watchpoint. I've looked into the bonuses. There's a novella in this one covering the Fires of Ibis, and a report on Dolmayan. I don't have any funds with which to buy it... Would you preorder it for me?"
4. "Tourist. This is "Chatty" Stick from RaD. There is a date set for Volume 4 of the Armored Core VI Blu-rays, which has made the boss very happy. Episodes 7 and 8 will cover the Crossing. There is a novella about how the boss created me, and a bonus CD of Arquebus and Balam corporate anthems. That's all I had to say. Later, tourist. "
5. "Hey, buddy. V.IV Rusty here. They just announced a date for Volume 5 of the Armored Core VI Blu-rays. That's Episodes 9 and 10, but word is they're going deluxe—a fresh cut of Episode 11, the one where we down the Ice Worm. Still going strong with the bonuses, too—a spin-off courtesy of Arquebus PR's radio station... one whole hour of Vespers VS. Redguns on CD. Don't miss out on it, buddy."
6. "Hey, tourist. It's your old friend, "Cinder" Carla of RaD. Looks like they're pushing out Volume 6 of the Armored Core VI Blu-rays. They're capping this one with the special where you intercept the Redguns. And hey, the viewers didn't vote for it, but someone up there loves us, because they're throwing in the alternate ending too. Chatty, boot up the ACs! Something tells me we're gonna go shopping!"
7. "V.II Snail, come in! This is V.VI Maeterlinck! They've gotten too lavish with Volume 7 of the Armored Core VI Blu-rays! On top of Episode 13, they've brought out a reveal-all OVA about the formation of Overseer, and a top-secret Institute report from Professor Nagai! They even have a CD where Handler Walter sings for the Episode 13 ending theme!? Requesting backup, stat!"
8. "Guess who's calling, tourist. Listen to your lucky numbers—Armored Core VI Season 2, Boxset 1, coming to stores. Sounds like they've got Episodes 1 through 4 in the "Fires of Raven" arc. Bonuses are... an old diary written by that little Ayre interloper, and a drama CD they're calling "MIND α, Release Phase 1". Happy face, tourist! Let's have ourselves the last laugh!"
9. "Hey, buddy. V.IV Rusty here. Just got a message about Armored Core VI Season 2—they're readying to sell Boxset 2. Contents are Episodes 1 to 4 of the "Liberator of Rubicon" arc. They're packing an Alternate Limited Edition with a figure of STEEL HAZE ORTUS. Your ideals brought cinders to life in the production team. I'm moving out to preorder, buddy."
10. One new message. "Rb23, independent mercenary Raven. Armored Core VI: The Movie -Alea iacta est- is now on streaming services. A UHD-BD, containing audio commentary by myself and Ayre, a CD of the main theme as sung by Ayre and ALLMIND, and a storyboard collection, is also available for purchase. This ending exists for all mercenaries."

BG3 Backstory Bash by Kelandrin
I was tagged by @dutifullylazybread, thank you! Tagging @commander-krios and @charmedcleric, if you fancy it :)
This is a challenge to help people flesh out their Tav’s backstory by exploring their past. It is organized into four sections with seven prompts. You can treat this as a monthly challenge or a general project. You can write headcanons, fics, or share art based on the prompts! You can interpret the prompts however you want. If you want to share use the tag #bg3backstorybash
Ok, I’m going to modify a whole bunch of this, if you want to do it properly probably look up the hashtag! I’m doing it for *my* version of the Steel Weave/Sharp Teeth Tav, though since it’s written in 2nd person with only sparse details of her life, I’m not calling it canon. I’m also going to do what @dutifullylazybread did and add in my version of Rolan and Tav’s future together <3 This ended up way more in depth than I thought, and I loved doing it :)
Baby
Birth & Parents: born in her paternal grandparent’s run-down house in Baldur’s Gate, to military parents. Her parents quickly returned to military service to support the family and defend the Gate, and were both killed when she was an infant in the same skirmish, defending a village against Orcs. Tav grew up with the understanding that her parents died heroes, and with the love of her grandparents never felt too much like she was missing something. Her grandparents were bakers, and she first built her muscles kneading vast amounts of dough when she was helping out in the shop as a kid.
Childhood
Friends/Siblings: no siblings. She did have a rotating cast of friends, some for a long time, although as her grandparents aged she found herself taking on more and more of the shop duties and seeing less of others her age. Her best friend was from the Little Calim part of Baldur’s Gate, and left aged thirteen with their parents to return home. Tav would like to go there one day, having heard many tales of its mountains and deserts (and a delicious drink called ‘coffee’ from its furthest reaches, that has yet to be widely imported up to the Sword Coast). They fell out of touch because of the expense and difficulty of long-distance communication, but Tav hopes they’re still out there somewhere, living well.
Birthday: Midwinter
Learning and Playing Games: Tav has always been very focused and determined about learning the things she cares about, whether that was the necessary reading and accounting skills to help her grandparents run the bakery, or the sword skills she began learning to follow in her parents’ footsteps. She’s curious, but felt she had to learn things with purpose first. A lot of the games she played were very physical - tag, Owlbear and ‘Fists vs Guild’.
Trauma: as she grew up, she got into a fair number of physical scrapes, especially when practising duelling and her grandparents privately despaired of how costly it was - though they were anxious not to communicate that, because they loved her energetic nature (if not her desire to go into the military). Those scrapes though, rarely registered with Tav herself, and she prided herself a little too much on being able to ignore physical pain in a way that sometimes alienated other kids (something she learned not to be so annoying about as she got older). The old loss of her parents though, and the increased pressure to help out her aging grandparents and grow up too fast, did have their effect. A gradual squeezing out of childhood.
Youth
First Love Crush on another girl in sword fighting class; Tav asked her out for a celebration after they were ranked joint first together. It went well until it didn’t; things fell apart in common teenage ways, when they forgot to notice each other’s upsets in the mess of their own feelings. They broke up after a couple of months and Tav sulked (a lot) and the other girl cried (also a lot) and then that girl quit sword fighting and took up warhammer instead. Whoops.
Rebellion and Running Away Tav did not really rebel much; on the occasion she misbehaved, stayed out too late or didn’t wake up for her morning shift at the bakery, she saw the disappointment and hurt of her grandparents, and felt terrible about it. They didn’t feel fun to rebel against, because as she saw them aging it only worried her. The same goes for running away, though she did dream of travelling. To Calimshan, or perhaps Icewind Dale - it would be so fun to be an adventurer, and to strike out on her own, though it seems impossible. How do you even start? What if you make the wrong decision? She ends up defaulting back to the military.
Peer Pressure, Risk Taking and Responsibility If anything, Tav was a bit of an (unintentional) peer pressurer herself, with her active and rather physically-risk taking nature. It’s something she learned to stop doing as she grew up, especially after she encouraged a friend to scale a tree with her after he’d already hurt his ankle and he fell and broke the other one too. After that, she got a lot more concerned about other people’s limits…. whilst still paying very little attention to her own. Her grandparents despaired of that, but they were deeply proud of her responsibility at home, even as she missed out on some more childish, fun things. Great at taking responsibility with adults, more likely to bicker with her peers. She was pretty resistant to peer pressure, as either she wanted to do something (drinking? Go on then) or not (stealing? she’s simply not interested). Can be quite judgemental of others seemingly not caring about their parents/family because she’s so concerned about her own. Cares a lot about doing good in the world, even as a teenager, because that’s what her parents died for.
Growing Pains I feel like most of the above covers it! Tav’s not the most introspective person, and her concerns were largely outside her - though some things did slip through. Her main struggle is having no very close friends; she hasn’t got a lot of time, and is a little bit singleminded about her military training.
Adulthood
Leaving Home Tav left home for the military barracks at 18, a hard decision knowing that her grandparents would have to sell their bakery without her. She sent her money home and visited them as often as she could - after all, they were all still in Baldur’s Gate - but they died quite soon after.
First Time Soon after moving into the military barracks. Technically not allowed but… they’re all very physical people who spend a lot of time getting sweaty in each other’s company. Tav’s not outrageous about expressing interest, but she’s happy to ask someone for a drink and see what happens.
Serious Relationships The relatively fast turnover of the military - recruits who can’t hack it, deaths at the front line, moving between posts or just to the Flaming Fist - means that she’s mostly had casual relationships. And in all honesty, very few people have stirred her soul. Everything is fine, but it often feels like others in the military are content with their lot, and the way the world is, and without being able to express it Tav feels like something is missing.
Aging Oof, thinking about Tav and Rolan getting older makes me a little sad. I think they have long and happy lives together, despite many close scrapes, and Tav keeps fighting even as her joints begin to creak. Jaheira was still at it, so why shouldn’t she? As for Rolan’s wizard magic… I don’t think he’d want to live an artificially longer life without Tav and Cal and Lia to share it, especially knowing that wizards need people they love surrounding them whenever the temptations of power get too strong. Either he finds magic they can all share, or they make peace with mortality knowing that there’s a place in Selune’s realm for them in the afterlife. (Well, as much peace as Rolan is ever capable of. He’d take Tav’s mortality as a personal affront, and his own as the deeply annoying but inevitable end to his glorious magical career).
Family Tav and Rolan have spent so many years of their lives being responsible for others, and for Tav, locked into the military as a default path without thinking enough about it. Both of them want to live life on their own terms, with their found family, and throw themselves into their work and passions rather than raising children. They’re often going off on adventures and discovering new things, and Rolan frequently works into the small hours on magic whilst Tav is out defeating mild zombie infestations or whatever is most recently plaguing Baldur’s Gate. But they do love Cal and Lia’s kids, and Tav considers Lae’zel, Astarion and Gale to be her extended family.
Work Tav was in the Baldurian Army, which I don’t think exists in canon but it exists in my head as more of an outward-facing force, dealing with wars and invasions and marauding Gith/Orcs, vs the Flaming Fist which are more of a domestic force (and are canonically awful, let’s be real. Not that the military is likely to be much better but… everyone in Baldur’s Gate has had personal experience with the Flaming Fist being incompetent, corrupt and otherwise terrible. Tav wanted to be a hero, and the Fist are for beating up hungry commoners for stealing apples. Not her vibe.) Her job is fine, and she trains hard, but it leaves little room for thought or individuality and she finds herself feeling stuck. Especially as she realises there’s a whole load of pointless skirmishes with neighbouring states over borders and trade, conflicts that only make ordinary peoples’ lives worse. She’s risked her life many times for civilians and that has stopped her getting promoted.
Finding Her Place The tadpole completely changed Tav’s life. Before, she’d have said that the military was her place - but she was never really anchored to it by more than rules and regs and a sense of duty. Now she’s struck out on her own - with Rolan and her companions by her side - she’s found she’s a strong and capable leader, and prefers making her own decisions about right and wrong to having the military make them for her. And she found the kind of deep love and devotion that she’s been lacking; a reason to live in every battle she fights. She would risk everything for Rolan, and he would risk everything for her, and then they will argue about it. Perhaps the arguing is something she’d missed in her closest relationships, previously, like with her grandparents; each too worried about the other to risk bringing up things that bothered them. And most people she’s dated, she’s simply never felt strongly enough about to have much conflict with. In contrast, Tav and Rolan can’t help themselves from arguing, and it means they always end up addressing whatever their problems are - even if they hurt each others’ feelings in the process sometimes. They know that they love each other no matter what, and they care so much that they’ll always make it up to each other in the end. (with lots of amazing sex in the process sorry did you think I’d get all the way through this post without mentioning that lol)

MoChaeng (Momo x Chaeyoung) - “Engraved Within Ourselves”
Tumblr media
After nearly 4 months of not giving any update in this book, I'M BACK!
I'll be starting to update this as sooner as I can because I decided to give equal attention now on updating all of my books whilst trying to insert my hobby of writing stories on my free time between my schoolworks.
No more wasting time, let's get right into it with this newly made MoChaeng one-shot of mine nozesimp here's your request sis!
Tumblr media
Momo has just completed serving a client of hers 45 minutes ago, which would only lead her to one remaining customer she needs to serve before she closes her tattoo shop.
To wait, she sat in front of her desk, eating some beef jerky while watching a dance performance of one of her favorite shows called "World Of Dance".
At the right timing, she was about to switch to another new video when she heard the bell on top of her steel door clang, signalling a movement coming from a person who must've opened it.
She looked to the side where she saw a short-heighted woman with blonde long hair wearing a white Calvin Klein sports bra, black fitted shorts, some pair of white sneakers and a black vest to top it all off.
Tumblr media
Momo can't deny that this woman looks hella cool and... smoking hot. She has this chic aura that illuminated her just as when her eyes landed on her appearance.
The cool looking last customer of hers gently bowed at her in respect which Momo returned the same gesture as she stood up from her seat after turning off her phone.
"Hello, I would like to have a new tattoo."
"Sure ma'am, do you have a preferred design with you?"
Momo watched the woman tugged out some paper out of her pocket. She unfolded it and presented it to the artist.
Momo's mouth agaped when she saw the content of the paper she received.
It was an astounding drawing of a mermaid looking creature with some few strange additional features on it, and what got it very detailed was the inclusion of the colors on each parts.
"W-wow... did you draw this ma'am?", Momo said as her eyes still fixated at the drawing she's holding.
"Yes."
"I just wanna say that this is so impressive. I like how you sketched the design on your own."
"Thanks."
"So... do you have any specific body parts for me to place this on you?"
"My left shoulder please.", the blonde girl poked the spot she was referring.
"Alright. Well you can take a seat for a moment and fill these required information regarding our service today while I prepare all my equipments, is it fine to you miss?"
"No problem at all.", she shook her head.
"Okay. Thanks for being patient, I'll get things ready now.", Momo heads onto her tattoo room to organized everything she'll have to use while the customer sat on the vacant guest chairs placed in front of Momo's desk and started filling up the paperwork before scrolling down in social media as she waits.
Few minutes later, Momo has finally get everything settled. She only stepped once to call her customer as she can have her basically hear what she's about to say anyway because her place was just perfectly small.
"Miss, you can now come here."
The customer nodded in comply. She stood up and walked through the entrance of Momo's tattoo room where she roamed her eyes around to see some cabinets, a tattoo chair that kinda has a similarity to what is being used from getting a tooth removal by a dentist and a metal push-over table where all of the ink caps and the needle are laid perfectly.
"You can sit now on the chair, miss.", Momo instructed and the customer quickly followed.
"What's your name by the way, miss?"
"It's Son Chaeyoung, but you can just call me Chaeyoung."
"I'm Hirai Momo, you can call me just Momo too."
"Your name-"
"Yeah, I'm not Korean. Japanese, to be specific."
"That's interesting.", she ooh-ed and made her posture comfortable on the chair as Momo began wiping a rubbing alcohol on her skin. She took our some tiny bits of hair attached using a razor to ensure that the tattoo location would be very clean and smooth for her to draw.
Momo then sticked the stencil she made with Chaeyoung's picked design on it through her bare shoulder. She moistened it with water, swiping her fingertips across the surface of the stencil to press the stencil further on her skin before pulling it off, with its purple inks outlining the design now left on Chaeyoung's skin.
The outlining has started when Momo grabbed the needle with black ink contained inside, puncturing the skin of Chaeyoung who is just sitting relaxingly on the chair, since this isn't her first time taking a tattoo.
"You may be the first customer I ever encountered who gave me such a design illustrated with your own sketching.", Momo inserted a topic to talk about as to lessen the awkwardness filling around them.
"Oh? You serious?"
"Yeah. Most of them just shows it to me with their prepared images or they pick what they like through my book that consists of some different tattoo designs. But you... you're different to me.", Momo chuckled.
"Glad to be your most unique customer you ever had.", Chaeyoung smiled at the information.
"I just moved on to that apartment there at the corner of the street few days ago. I was exploring the new surrounding to get accustomed of then luckily, I found this tattoo shop of yours which I decided to take a visit and try."
"Oh there? So you only live near from here then."
"Yeah. I guess we're neighbors now?", she shrugged.
"Oh no no, my shop is just located here but my house is two streets away.", Momo denied.
"Ahhh okay.", Chaeyoung pursed her lips.  "You know, good thing I discovered this place. Looking nice from inside out."
"I'm thankful that you decided to give my business a try.", Momo grinned.
"All fine here. Perhaps this won't be the last of me visiting here. I'm liking the service of yours so far.", Chaeyoung smirked which costed a blush from Momo.
"Will do anything f-for my customers to be satisfied, that's why.", Momo sheepishly remarked.
Momo finished outlining the design before switching a machine to use for the next procedure which is coloring and shading.
"If that so then I'll be happy to be your regular customer.", Chaeyoung said in a jokingly manner despite being real with it.
Momo sweared that this girl doesn't fail to make her smile easily whenever she speaks which gives her a very nice feeling of communicating with her.
Now that it urged her to continue talking with her, she proceeded their flow of conversation with another topic. "So, Chaeyoung... it seems like you love drawing."
"Ofcourse. That's the skill I have which I mostly use as my hobby."
"We're just the same then. That's why I built this to use my artistic ability for a better purpose... through tattooing."
"Great idea you have there, Momo. Because of that, well for sure you are definitely earning some rightful amount of money these days."
"Yup. Enough to make my stomach full as always by buying food.", Momo giggled which Chaeyoung snorted at her revelation.
After half an hour later, Momo successfully placed a new tattoo for Chaeyoung after she completed the coloring of the design.
"Here you go. It's done."
Chaeyoung peeked at her shoulder and she was impressed at Momo flawlessly copied the sketch she wanted to imprint on her skin as a new tattoo to flex.
"Woah, this looks just like what I gave you!", Chaeyoung stated in awe as she admired her new fresh tattoo. She reaches for her phone and captured her shoulder to post it later on her social media account, also planning to mention Momo's business to recommend also to others in repay for good service.
"You did a great job, Momo. I loved it."
"I'm so happy to hear that you feel like it, Chaeyoung. Thank you so much."
Momo grabbed the ointment on the table and opened it, scooping some little amount as she smeared it all over the fresh tattoo to prevent infection.
The bandage was placed next as she wrapped it, treating it as if like just a wound that's needed a first aid treatment.
Momo taped it to end her duty for Chaeyoung who raised herself up from the chair, adjusting her coat before both of them walked out of the room.
Chaeyoung passed the signed papers to Momo including the payment for that particular type of design. Momo returned her the change.
"Thank you once again for coming, Chaeyoung. You're such a big help too. I actually only needed one last customer to wrap up everything here."
"Is that so? Well, good thing I did. A fair benefit for the both of us.", Chaeyoung beamed. "Thank you also for your service and it's nice to meet you too, Momo. You got me hooked on this now girl, I'll be visiting here from now on whenever I feel taking a new one."
"I'll be here always to give you what you want, Chaeyoung.", Momo smiled.
"Just call me Chae, consider this as we know each other now so might as well let's be comfortable with the name calling."
"Oh okay. Then Momoring would be fine for me too."
"Got it. Soooo.... wait what's your age?"
"26"
"Oh... i'm 23, so that makes you my unnie then.", Chaeyoung realized. "Back to what I was really to say uhm, can I get the name of your shop if by any instances, you made a profile in social media?"
"I did. It's also named Peach's Tattoo Place."
Chaeyoung typed it on the e-note in her phone. "There. I have it. I'll tag you on my post later, maybe I can attract some friends of mine to try coming here too."
"I appreciate the consideration, Chae. Thank you. Really, I am."
"No problem, Momo-unnie. You deserve it.", Chaeyoung flashed a thumbs up. Momo smiled at the younger's honorific mention.
"I have to go home now, bye Momoring!"
"Bye Chaeyoung. Take care!", both of them waved their hands at one another as Chaeyoung opened the door and exited the place, leaving Momo all alone again.
"Her personality amongst her looks just fits on her. Lucky to met a great person like her today.", Momo spoke to herself as the images of her first moments together with Chaeyoung appeared in her mind.
She smiled of it before heading on to clean all her equipments so that she can finally go home and rest.
THE NEXT DAY
Momo presented the inside of her bag to the guard before thanking and greeting him a good morning as she entered the dance studio.
Walking down in the lobby, a woman catches her presence around and excused herself to a staff she's talking just to catch on Momo.
Momo sensed that someone was walking alongside her, and when she looked who it is; she recognizes her immediately.
"Hey, Sakura."
"Hi, Momo-unnie. This is your first day being a solo instructor in your class, right?"
"Sadly, yes.", Momo's smile wore off in her face. It made her remember again that her previous co-dance instructor recently resigned in the studio with her decision all cleared up that she wants to spend her time now mostly with her husband that she's now engaged with.
"I'm gonna miss Sana teaching beside me but... it is what it is. What matters is that she told me we'll be keeping in touch still."
"Well that's good to know, unnie.", Sakura responded positive. "You got this unnie! C'mon don't forget that you're the best dancer we ever have here. Alone or not, you can ensure that those students will improve because of your masterful teaching."
"Hey hey, easy with the praises Sakura-chan.", Momo halts her friend's rapid-fire compliments which earned a bubbly laughter to her. "I may be the best if that's what you all can see me, but still it's way better than to have someone be there on your side to help you. I mean, I still feel quite nervous that I can't handle all 40 students by myself since this is my first time."
"I hope they can find someone for me though.", Momo added as she spoke it with pure hopefulness.
"It can be sooner or later, but as you wait I know you'll try your best to teach those students of yours very well. Fighting unnie!"
"Thanks, Sakura-chan. But before I do that, I gotta cheer up them first. They may still bringing the news with heavy sadness knowing that one of their favorite teacher is gone.", Momo elicited a tight-lipped smile. "Class won't go smoothly if those students has their mood aren't in good condition."
Momo paused at the door in front of her dance practice room as she turned around to see Sakura stopped walking and stood behind her. "I'll be going in. Thanks for lifting my spirit, Sakura-chan."
"Hehe, always for my big oneechan! Fighting!", she raised her fist up with jolly.
"Fighting!", Momo did the same gesture.
Sakura patted Momo's shoulder before walking back to the lobby to leave Momo who entered her class where her students are just talking with each other, some were focused on their cellphones or playing a random game together to keep theirselves entertained while waiting.
They all noticed Momo's arrival in the room, making them all stand up and greet their respected instructor with a bow.
"Hello and good morning Momo-senpai!"
"Hello and good morning too class. You may now sit down.", she told as she placed her bag on top of her large speaker.
3 HOURS LATER
Momo was busy guiding her students the dance choreography of the chorus part for NewJean's OMG when the lesson got interrupted with few knocks on the door.
She looked around and there, she saw her sister Hirai Hana, the founder of Hirai Dance Company standing there with her gym attire.
"Psst, Momoring. Can I give you a moment?", her sister asked her.
The class saw the higher up, immediately providing a polite greeting and a bow to her which made Hana smile sweetly.
"Thank you class, good morning to you all too."
"What's up, oneechan?"
"Seems like this is my first time seeing you teaching by yourself. Sana parted ways with the company, right?", Hana said. Momo nodded sadly which was contagious since the students felt down hearing about that.
"Sooo since you don't have a co-instructor together with you... then that only mean one thing, and that is to find a new replacement for you.", Hana pointed her hand at her little sister. The class began reacting with some fascinating oohs and others whispering to each other.
"But thankfully, we have one fully set for you, sis."
"Already?"
"Yeah, you know I can't stand seeing you do much of a hardwork to probably cause stress in you.", Hana said, making Momo feel touched at how caring her sister like she always is. "So I made a phone call last night with somebody to accept her application and just earlier this morning, she signed the contract and I let her begin today as our new member of the company.", Hana narrated.
"And right now, she's with me.", Hana glanced to her side. Momo along with her whole class wondered who might that be since that person is hiding from the wall beside the door, maybe to build anticipation.
"You can now show yourself to them."
Hana instructed to that someone and it followed, slowly revealing herself to everyone.
Momo's eyes widened in surprise when she initally recognized the lady who just stood beside her sister.
Tumblr media
And when the latter had eye contact to Momo, she shared a same reaction as her.
"Momoring, this is Son Chaeyoung, the new replacement for Sana as your co-instructor for your class.", Hana introduced Chaeyoung to her. Little does her older sister know that she already met the woman beside her yesterday as her customer in the tattoo shop.
"H-hi, I-I'm Hirai Momo... pleased to meet you.", she stuttered, trying to disguise herself like she haven't know Chaeyoung yet.
Chaeyoung on the other hand, was stiffling her laughter to burst out at how Momo looked ridiculous on her pretend.
All she just did is to bow after at her too.
"I'll leave her to you now, sis. I still have class to teach.", Momo and Hana exchanged nods at one another before she urged Chaeyoung to enter the room.
Slowly walking towards Momo who playfully bounced her eyebrows, making her snigger; both of them faced the students.
"Class, you heard what my sister said, Miss Son here will join us offically as our new co-instructor. So please, take care of her and treat her with kindness and respect just like what you guys do to me okay?", Momo said to the class who are listening attentively.
"Yes, Miss Hirai!", the class chanted.
"Your turn, Chae.", Momo encouraged, patting her on the wrist.
"Nice to meet you everyone, don't worry and scared from me. I am very willing to interact and get to be close with everyone of you and I promise that as provider of Teacher Momo's assitance, I will do my best to help you all improve your dancing skills to become a talented dancer or better, to be just like us who can teach their own dance class in the future. Sounds good, class?"
"Yes, Miss Son!", the whole class agreed.
"Okay, all of you can rest for a while. Me and Miss Son will just talk okay?", Momo directed.
As the class now on the break, she and Chaeyoung faced to each other while holding a similar hilarious and flabbergasted expression to each other.
"What a coincidence, huh. I never expected that we will meet again Chae."
"Yeah same here. Just... how? Wait, you work here but... what about the tattoo shop of yours?", Chaeyoung confusedly asked.
"Ahh. That? Doing tattoos like what we talked yesterday, my hobby. Consider it as my side job and... this, being here as a dance instructor is actually my main job these days.", Momo elaborated.
"Ohh... now that makes sense.", Chaeyoung finally got enlightened. "And the CEO... she's your sister?"
"Mmmhmm. Hana's my older sister and the founder of the company. I decided to help her run the business so... I volunteered to be the CEO and she's gladly agreed."
"Ahh. Well that means it makes your full name to be Hirai Momo.", Momo nodded and smiled shyly at Chaeyoung's statement. "You know, I'm amazed at how talented you are. You were using both of it to earn money and be successful which is undeniably a great idea and very useful to be honest."
"Thanks. I guess I could say the same as you. I figured you were doing commissions also for sketches in your account.", Momo nearly lowered her volume in the end when she observed Chaeyoung's astounded emotion emerge.
"I-I just got to stalk your profile in curiosity, that's why... hehe."
"Ohh no problem, Momoring. I will do the same if I were you anyway.", Chaeyoung assured which Momo heaved a sigh in relief.
"Shall we head out to cafeteria to eat lunch together? I'll introduce you around here too after if you want."
"Sure, why not.", Chaeyoung giggled as she accepted Momo's offer.
They head out after and walked through the hallway as they continued talking on their way to the cafeteria.
1 AND A WEEK MONTH LATER
"Watch guys okay? In 3... 2.. 1.", Momo clicked the remote to play again the part of the song for the nth time.
She and Chaeyoung were currently teaching the dance choreo of 'Shape Of You' by Ed Sheeran to their students as their next challenge to sample a sexy / hot concept using the given song.
They were at the final chorus now so they had make the student pay attention to their moves because they already stated that the most important part they will anticipate is how impactful they're gonna end their choreo of the song.
All of the students are sitting on the floor quietly as they witness Momo and Chaeyoung return to their respective positions just as when the song started to play again.
C'mon be my baby cmon...
I'm in love with the shape of you After the beat drop, Momo and Chaeyoung stepped parallel to one another with their one foot advancing along to their arm which swayed sideward.
We push and pull like a magnet do Both of them stood aside with each other, Chaeyoung faced her back to Momo. They moved like what the line said, waving their bodies forward and backward with Momo clutching Chaeyoung's shoulder as if she's the one guiding Chaeyoung to join with her flow.
Whilst doing it, their other hand was laid on top of their thigh whose leg is pursed forward than the other. They did for like 3 streak of flows.
Although my heart is falling too In in love with your body
Chaeyoung switched where her front body is now directed at, now on her right side where she's now clearly visible by all of the students who are watching in awe.
Her right angle now in front of Momo, they both rotated their head clockwise while ensuring that some of their hair will scatter around their face to make it even look hotter with their hand on their nape as it followed the spin.
After that, Chaeyoung paused, leaning her back with the support of her arm standing at Momo's thigh which was pushed forward beside her before she advances her body as if she's falling, but Momo catched her by hooking her arm around her waist then pulled her back.
As Chaeyoung's whole front now presented to her arms as she's almost carrying her, she leaned her face very close to the younger's face with earned a loud shriek from the students as it seemed from them that they were about to kiss at that shot.
Last night you were in my room And my bedsheet smells like you Everything 's we're discovering something brand new I'm in love with your body
Momo assisted Chaeyoung to stand up before both faced the students again with Chaeyoung still in front of Momo.
Chaeyoung bended on her knees as Momo traced her back with a swipe touch before Chaeyoung swept away to switch on Momo's side to the left.
They did the same body wave thingie again in tandem before striking their body forward in sync with their fist clenched on their chest then spreaded apart as if it got knocked from the impact of their body.
Momo slowly kneel behind Chaeyoung as both her hands are on each side of her co-instructor's body figure like she's tracing its curves downwards to signify the line before it goes to the chorus of "ooh aahs" in the background.
Once again, the very entertained student sounded their astonishment at the move especially when Chaeyoung helped Momo get up but cupping her chin and nearly getting it close on her face before she gently pushed Momo to give her space as they began dancing at the adlib.
Everything's we're discovering something brand new I'm in love with the shape of you Momo spun Chaeyoung, tugging her arm before spinning her towards her and ended the song with them being very close to one another as Momo stared at Chaeyoung's face with her hand on the back of her head and the latter's own located on her lower back.
The students erupted as the choreography has finally finished but Momo stayed for more seconds to unconsciously admire how actually beautiful Chaeyoung's face is.
Tumblr media
It like she got lost in transition on returning quickly back to her senses when her eyes wanted to take a look more at the younger's unique beauty.
Those cute small strawberry smelled lips, pinchable nose, plump cheeks, black orbs in her eyes as if it contains it's own universe for Momo to float within the deeper she got sucked on the  black hole of a stare she's having.
Her clear white shining skin, strands of golden blonde hair in her bangs blocking off some area in her forehead but doesn't disturb her features; probably even more contributing as it seems.
Everything about her is just... surreal. Momo never got stuck at the view like this. Chaeyoung's definitely a unique one.
She never knew that the one thing she wanted to feel someday was beginning to increase distributed by the arising beats of her heart which at the same time, joining the timing of the students who are about to tease her and Chaeyoung in three seconds.
"YIEEEEEEEEEEE", all students chanted, effectively breaking Momo's drowning in her thought as reality attracted her back inside.
She slowly blinked her eyes before it widened as she realized that she was still having Chaeyoung very close to her.
Because of her doing, Chaeyoung was actually fazed for a while too as she joined Momo taking her time to look closely more on their faces.
Just like Momo, Chaeyoung was amazed and attracted at Momo's own possessed beauty.
Basically, the two were just pouring compliments in their heads as it results only for their hearts to beat rapidly with an unknown strange feelings for each other.
Momo takes off her hand very fast away from Chaeyoung who fakely coughs at what just happened.
"S-sorry. I got spaced out.", Momo apologized.
"It's fine. Me too.", Chaeyoung said with a timid smile, glancing quick at Momo before looking away in shame.
They both looked at the students whom they realized that they were all teasing them both, doubling the embarassment they feel.
"TEACH, THAT WAS INTENSE!"
"YIEEE MISS SON AND MISS HIRAI WERE REALLY FEELING IT!"
"THAT STARE WAS TOO HOT, UNNIES!"
"LOOK, MOMO-NOONA'S FLARING RED!", one of the male students pointed his finger at Momo who's face looked exactly as what he's saying.
Chaeyoung along with the rest all looked at Momo and when they noticed that the youngster is correct, Chaeyoung grinned and chuckled awkwardly while the students had their jaw dropped and made a teasing smirk and sounds again at the helpless Japanese woman.
"I-it's not what you think, guys okay?!", Momo tried to reason out. "I'm just getting too brought on with your teasings that makes me shy now!"
Tumblr media
Momo tried to fan her face with her hand before covering it. Chaeyoung patted Momo's shoulder which caused her to shook in shiver at the touch.
"S-sorry... agh these kids really made me so embarassed right now."
"They're just playing around, unnie. Let them be.", Chaeyoung eased.
Momo sighed for a few counts before fighting back to her students.
"That's it, playtime's over. Did you all memorized the steps we just did?", she asked which thankfully made the students become silent and return from being serious again.
"Yes, Miss Hirai."
"Good, again as reminder; we'll be waiting for your performances on the evaluation day okay? You guys still have one week available to practice it so do your best to earn the best duo to be graded next week. Are we clear?"
"Yes, Miss Hirai!"
"Okay. Prepare your things now, class dismissed. Good job everyone.", Momo clapped to urge the rest to join her too before they minded their own business.
Returning to her bag, Momo was asked by Chaeyoung who's also placing her things back inside. "A penny for thoughts inside your head earlier Momoring?"
Momo was startled, forming a blush again as she knew from what she can clearly remember that the only thing filling up her mind was just all about Chaeyoung.
"N-nothing relevant. I just craved instantly for jokbal that i'm thinking to have it as my dinner tonight, I guess.", Momo pretended not to be guilty on the truth.
"Oh... okay. Guess you were that hungry again that you were almost imagining me as a jokbal for you to eat.", Chaeyoung joked but she felt Momo's weirded look at her, she had a late realization of what her words also meant like.
"I-I mean no other thing, I'm just talking about... j-jokbal as y-your dinner like... yeah, what you s-said...", Chaeyoung stuttered in complete embarassment before quickly went for the speakers to be turned off just so she can break the awkward tension going on between her and Momo.
"Pft. Pabo.", Momo muttered before she fixed back her belonging.
Chaeyoung didn't fail to catch that which she gave herself a facepalm because of it before giving Momo a sour look secretly when she recalled what she heard from Momo.
"Heh. Liar.", she rolled her eyes and flipped her hair sassily.
ONE WEEK LATER
All of the students left the building and some went home already after the class, with Chaeyoung and Momo remained still on the dance practice room to rest since both were kind of lazy yet to leave.
While Chaeyoung was sketching on her paper pad, she could hear Momo's soft groaning and grunting sounding like she's in pain as she stretches and touches her back and her legs before she returned scrolling on the phone.
Chaeyoung's concern was set on just in case until she got the sign that there's something wrong with Momo, hearing again that same groans for the second time.
Stopping her sketch, she stood up from the couch and walked near at Momo who got alerted at her presence.
"Does your legs and back hurt?"
"Yeah... it got too stiff today. Goddamn irritates me with the numbing sensation it makes.", Momo said while twitching her face in pain.
"Allow me to give you a massage then"
"You sure?"
"Mmhmm I want to help. You made me worried about you.", Momo nearly exposed her blush about to form in her cheeks when she heard it.
"Okay. Permission granted, cub.", Momo called Chaeyoung with her other nickname she created for her.
Chaeyoung smiled as she went for her bag to grab out her small bottle of pain reliever ointment that she always bring with her only when she's going for class if it gets handy... like the situation right now but it's not her who needs it but someone who she would really love to help anytime.
Chaeyoung rushed back on Momo with the bottle now on her hand.
"Uhh unnie... mind if you take off your shirt so that I can apply it further into your back?", Chaeyoung cautiously persuaded. She knew that her request would be not that quite easy since she's  just telling Momo to expose her upper body that includes also her one of her private area which is her breasts.
She may be a girl if you'll look at her but Chaeyoung has gone to be a lesbian  all because of that particular woman who made her be like this from weeks ago.
"O-oh okay.", Momo shyly complied.
Momo tugged her t-shirt up as she unwears it, revealing her well-built upper body that has a incredible 6 pack abs she earned from working out as well as her... well Chaeyoung doesn't want to include it but it's too hard to ignore and resist.
Momo does have a perfectly sized pair of pillows which are being contained by her white sports bra, she confirmed it in her thoughts which got her heated for a moment.
Scratching out of it to avoid luring it into a much pervy way, Chaeyoung commanded Momo to lay down on the couch with front first to the cushion.
Chaeyoung poured some ointment and rubbed it in her hands to create a friction which would somehow provide an increased temperature to the liquid to give a much relaxing feeling when it got applied.
She began massaging the muscle near her waists then moved it through the middle where her spinal cord is connected, as her hands grinded and pressed further onto her skin gently.
Momo on the other hand, was eliciting some refreshed whimpers and sighs; some went a bit too much as if she sounded like she's moaning, making Chaeyoung tensed up and return that familiar heat cursing through her body to react.
Trying to maintain her composure  she instead focused more on massaging Momo's back. Once she was done, she went next for her pair of numbing legs which Chaeyoung was fighting again from not getting purely distracted by Momo's erotic-like noises.
"You can rest it now for a while, Momoring.", Chaeyoung said, declaring that her massage has finished.
"Thanks, Chae."
"Welcome."
Momo raised her body back up to wear her shirt easily, making Chaeyoung unaware at herself that she got a bit disappointed by it.
As Chaeyoung returned the bottle back in her bag, Momo speculated it differently which made her a bit afraid at the possibility.
"A-are you going home now, Chae?"
"Nah. I'll finish my sketch first and... I suppose, to stay with you more so you won't get bored.", Momo smiled at Chaeyoung's considerate act.
"Good, because I... I want to talk with you about something...", Momo started to become nervous. She prepared herself for this moment to come.
To confess her feelings to Chaeyoung.
Momo was already having secret deep admirations for Chaeyoung as it became too obvious for her too with the help of her friend Sakura and her sister Hana contributing with the evidences that aligns to her point to prove it as fact.
She was discreetly eyeing Chaeyoung whenever she has her back faced on another direction away from her, can't handle the urge to do it caused by her grown perspective to the younger as her crush.
She was already admiringly doing it by  watching her teach and dance along with complimenting her looks silently, and when it's not; she only covers it with either a joke or a reason just to save herself from not getting too showy.
Lastly, she always gets to build a desire to be with her throughout most of the time.
That's how Momo has became when she fell in love with her friend and co-instructor Son Chaeyoung.
"What is it?", Chaeyoung curiously asked. She sat on the floor, looking at her.
Momo heaved a breath before turning her eyes back at the tiny cub in front of her.
She looks so cute, she said in her mind; doing her habit again.
"Remember last week when the students teased us because of me ended up staring at you when I got spaced out, making it seem for them like we're lovers attracted at our immense contact?"
"Y-yeah, what about t-that?", Chaeyoung gulped after.
"I... I want to clarify something about it.", Momo stopped as she checked her courage again whether she can still do this.
It was still going fine, so with no other hesitation; she proceeded.
"Which is?"
"About my words of denial that the students were saying to me aren't correct."
Chaeyoung squinted her eyes, slightly not getting where is she going with this.
"C-chae... those were lies. W-what they're saying... I took it willingly because... it wasn't an accident.
I did it on purpose. I had to stare at your face while I... compile all my praises regarding how precious your face to be admired so much.
B-because... it was me being... head over heels for you, Chaeyoung. I had grown a fond of liking you more than the boundary of us being friends.
So in simple terms, I have a crush on you, Chaeyoung.", Momo confessed.
Chaeyoung was left speechless. She didn't know what to respond about the unexpected confession Momo just did of being her secret admirer for this whole week.
Tumblr media
"I had to make up my reasons because I-I just don't want you to find out and the whole class yet, I guess? Because if I had to instead, m-maybe... you won't take it nicely and... and... you might set your gap from me of not seeing you only as a friend anymore since maybe y-you don't feel the same as me.", Momo frowned.
Chaeyoung's mouth parted as she felt pity at what Momo was thinking around that time.
"I don't know when this all started but being around with such a wonderful person whose not only her personality makes her special than the others but her captivating beauty that I got too attached in for my heart to start developing this strange feeling they call love were all enough to me to tell it to myself and to let you know why.
So... yeah. That's all. I'll be accepting whatever your answer will be. Whether you re-"
Momo didn't got to continue her words when suddenly Chaeyoung lunges onto her a wrapped her in a tight hug which made her completely taken aback.
"C-Chae?"
"I knew it."
"Ehh?"
"You were lying, Momoring. I called it already way before you were able to verify it.", Chaeyoung whispered which surprises Momo.
"From the way how you look at me especially those rough, foolish defense of yours just doesn't perturbing the same as what you were actually feeling for me when you did that last week.
And because of that, I blame it for you passing it on me too.
Now I just feel the same as you, Momoring.", Chaeyoung admitted that she reciprocates Momo's confession.
"T-that means...? Y-you..."
"Yeah. I like you too, unnie. You progressed further for me to began treating you as my crush also.", Chaeyoung giggled.
Unbeknownst to Momo, during all of those signs she did which were unaware of her at that time; Chaeyoung went on to secretly give her the same as what she's doing whenever Momo would set off her focus at her after.
They were literally just exchanging gestures but they didn't know about it, not until today.
Momo grew a wide grin on her face as it made her very happy to know that Chaeyoung fortunately's in love with her too, enabling to made her less scared of being rejected anymore.
Tumblr media
"Thank you for welcoming my feelings in return, Chae. I would be very lucky to have you as my girlfriend.", Momo compressed the petite figure of this younger woman in her arms more for a tighter and warmer embrace.
"I never knew before how delightful it must've felt being called as your lover's girlfriend. Now... it was turned to be possible, and I can't ask for a better thing than to only have you be the one who has the rights to do so for me."
Chaeyoung seperated from the hug as she looked intently at Momo, sandwiching her dazzling yet adorable face with her baby hands. "Thank you for being my first romance, Momoring... and I hope you'll be the last too."
"And I hope in the future I'll not only get to call you as my girlfriend... but as my wife also.", Momo added.
Chaeyoung nodded as she liked-no- loved the idea of it.
Without hesitation, Chaeyoung pulled Momo's head closer to her to perform a sweet, hypnotizing, passionate kiss, sealing their confession and greeting the new chapter of their lives together as an official couple.
ONE YEAR AND FOUR MONTHS LATER
Momo parked her car to the front of her... or should I say... THEIR tattoo shop. Peach and Strawberry's Tattoo Paradise
Momo decided to make Chaeyoung as the owner also of her own beloved second business.
Opening the steel door with bunch of plastic bags full of groceries, she entered the place which greeted her with a loud symphony of hilarious laughs coming from the other side of the interior.
Momo chuckled and whispered a "what the hell?" at the sound echoing throughout the placeas she placed the bags on top of her desk.
She flipped the "YES, WE'RE OPEN' sign hanging on the door into "SORRY, WE'RE CLOSED" before approaching the source of where that laughter came from.
Swaying the curtain aside, her lips curved higher and shoulders fell when she saw Chaeyoung's friend-which became hers also- named Somi bursting out another sequence of laughter with her fiancee' trying her best to maintain her client from being relaxed.
To inform you, Chaeyoung and Momo are now engaged last February; in which Momo proposed to Chaeyoung exactly at their 9th date scheduled in Valentines Day.
They are set to be married next month, on Chaeyoung's birthday in specific. She just wants to make her strawberry princess to be happy, that's it.
"OH- OH MY GOD... I- AAAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA CHAE STOP! IT TICKLES!", Somi said as she hysterically reacted at Chaeyoung piercing the needle onto her skin.
"FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, JEON SOMI CALM YOUR ASS DOWN! AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN STOP? I'M ABOUT TO FINISH THIS SO HOLD IT!", Chaeyoung slapped her friend's stomach after.
She then saw her fiancee' Momo standing near the curtain with a mix of  amused and perplexed expression im her face at the sight.
"What the heck, Somi-ya? Are you a masochist or what?"
"This bitch has no right to be very scared at taking a tattoo first when all she did was to treat the needles as if a goddamn feather that tickles her hard.", Chaeyoung glared at her friend Somi who was recovering from her exhaustion of laughing her ass off.
"A new record for me then. My very first encounter of a client being felt tickled throughout the whole tattoo progress in her first time instead of getting intensely hurt.", Momo snapped her fingers at the achievement.
"Welcome back love.", Chaeyoung said before focusing back on finally ending Somi's suffering.
"Hiiii~", Momo replied, sitting confortably on the another spare chair.
As expected, Somi laughed hard again for the nth time before earning a not so strong slap on the face from Chaeyoung who is successfully done tattooing her wrist.
"I'm done you crazy ass.", she said to Somi who slowly breathe and regained her strength.
"T-thanks bestie.", Somi responded. "Hey, I didn't know that tattoo would turn out to be a pleasure for me in my first time okay?"
"Aish just admit you have a very low pain tolerance.", Somi just giggled at it like it belongs on her advantages.
"Hi Momo-unnie!"
"Hi Somi-ya! Thanks for stopping by."
"No biggie, glad to help you guys earn more money today.", she boastfully said before standing up after Chaeyoung finished pasting the bandage on her fresh new tattoo.
"Where did you went?"
"Grocery."
"Oh okay.", she said as she lend her payment to her friend in return for the service.
"Hey, congrats on the engagement my unnies.", she lifted Chaeyoung's hand where her engagement ring that Momo gave was inserted on her finger.
"Appreciated it, Somi-ya."
"Thanks, bestie.", Chaeyoung fist bumped Somi.
"I'll be supporting you both always, you two deserve to be together and I'm happy that you see yourselves as the right person for each other.", Somi added.
"You know what, take this as our gratitude for that fluttering message if yours, Somi-ya.", Momo opened her mini cabinet below her desk and took out something from it.
Somi's eyes enlightened when she saw Momo giving her a pretty sealed red and pink colored envelope.
She opened it and read its contents with amused emotion building up in her face.
"See you at our wedding, Somi-ya.", Chaeyoung gently shaked her bestfriend's body.
Somi looked at her with teary eyes and hugged her after. "Awwww thank you guys! I'll be attending, mark my words. I have to, okay?!", Somi said with a pumped up tone.
"Yeah, you better have to or else... friendship over."
"Not gonna let that happen, Penelope.", Somi called her bestfriend using her own custom nickname she created for Chaeyoung after they both once watched Wreck It Ralph together and saw some similarities of the character there with her bestfriend.
"I'll be heading home now, bye unnies!"
"Bye!" "Be safe, Somi-ya."
As Somi exited and closed the door. Chaeyoung walked through the desk where Momo lifted all the bags again to present the newly bought grocery items to her.
"Do you have it?", Chaeyoung interrogatively asked.
"Always.", Momo winked as she revealed a tray full of strawberries to her lover who is obssessed at it.
"Yayyy!", she kissed Momo's cheek before opening it and quickly took a piece to her mouth for a chew.
"Momoring..."
"Hmm?"
"Can you help me with something?"
"Do you really have to ask me that, dear? Ofcourse I will."
"Sorry.", Chaeyoung apologetically smiled. "So... I have this problem of not being able to choose what design I should put as a new tattoo on me. Can you help me with it, love?"
Momo became silent as she started running the ideas and construct it piece by piece until she had one to go.
"I already know."
"Tell me."
"No need. Just watch, I bet you'll like it.", Momo smiled before they entered the tattoo area together.
Chaeyoung sat on the tattoo chair as she waited for her lover to transfer her planned design on the stencil.
Now bringing it with her, Momo laid it on Chaeyoung preferred spot this time: her chest.
She began tracing the text with black ink on the needle. It only took not more than 10 minutes before she finally finished it right away.
"Take a look.", Momo insisted.
Chaeyoung went in front of the full body mirror and to her astonishment, she gasped until it transformed into a soft smile full of heartwarming and touching feeling.
In her chest labeled a text of Moml's name written both in English, Korean and Japanese all stacked together. Alongside was a cute small peach and the other one was what it looks like to be a wedding ring.
"You were wrong."
Momo got befuddled.
"Eh?"
"I don't just like it, I love it Momoring.", Chaeyoung turned around and beamed a bright smile on the Japanese.
In return and also joining with the idea, Momo took the turn next as Chaeyoung tattooed her name also in three translated into three different languages, with a small strawberry this time as her representative design on Momo's chest.
They both looked at their own tattoos admiringly after.
Momo grabbed Chaeyoung's hand and kissed the engagement ring she has on her finger before placing one also on the top.
"Now that our names are now engraved within ourselves, I promise that just like these tattoos... my love for you won't go away forever even if we die, and will stuck by you whenever you go, Chaeyoung.", Momo smiled sweetly at her lover.
"And rest assured that I will do the same for you in our whole run of relationship, Momoring. I love you."
"I love you too.", they proclaimed their blooming romantic feelings for each other.
Tumblr media
Momo and Chaeyoung then kissed straight on the lips before cleaning up the whole space as they prepare to go home.

Ma'am, I just work here
Working in a pawn shop in Baldur's Gate sometimes means being privy to the most interesting items, even those that maybe you should have never put your hands on.
or: Raphael visits the most unfortunate little pawn shop worker
It's another quiet day at the "Brokering Gate", a little smarmy pawn office that lies between the recently collapsed Steel Watcher Foundry and the Guilt docks, a blocked-off area for incoming trade that remains just barely under the table. Ever since the rubble of that huge flying brain mass came down, there has been a weird rotting note to the air that borders on repugnant just barely. To keep the worst of it out, most of the "Gate's" shutters have been closed and enchanted with a shield-type spell – Yas doesn't care much for the details – due to their windows being blown to shittereens during the initial blast. It's a wonder, or curse depending on who you ask, that the shop still stands.
Yas hates, absolutely loathes working at the "Brokering Gate" on account of its weird customers and despicable owner, but she also hates not having anything to eat or a roof over her head, so in the end she just has to bite the bulette. And with the evasion of total annihilation comes some perks. People find the most interesting things to sell amidst the chaos coming to their silly little pawn shop, their competitors having mostly been wiped out or turned into ilithids.
One of those people had surprisingly been none other than THE hero, Tav, and their merry band of weirdos waltzing into the store, most of them heaving under the weight of overfilling pouches and backpacks, the jingle-jangle filling the air when the bags hit the ground. It had been a bad day for their accounts but a good one for stuffing the shop up the roof with items of varying usefulness.
One of these items had been a trilogy of diaries. As soon as Yas opened them during a lull in the shop she knew she had found her new obsession for the next weeks. Two of the three books were filled to the brim with mischief, silly little poems, intricate plans, or just daily developments, all written by some seemingly third-grade bard working hard to fill his made-up fantasy with lore. The third one however stopped halfway through, leaving an open end to the saga of the writer, a self-serving schemer hungering for power over the Nine Hells, and his assumed dalliance with the so-called hero, a tadpoled fool trapsing through the world the writer seemingly controlled.
Usually, Yas wouldn't go for such bottom-of-the-barrel fiction, but after skimming over them she had decided to fully embrace their weirdness.
Now it's deep into the afternoon and instead of having another go at the inventory she stands entranced at the counter ruffling through the pages, giggling to herself.
"Predilection. Who talks like that?", she quietly murmurs, although a part of her envies the artful usage of these special little words. With a grin, Yas comforts herself by imagining the fop with this kind of speech trying to order a beer at the bar she works her evening shifts at.
The soft little chime from the bell above their entrance takes her back to the store and she mentally readies her customer service personality. In walks an older man, a slight limp to his right leg, steadying himself on an intricate wooden cane with golden inlays, the soft tock of it accompanying the scraping of his "good" foot across the floor. Yet something about his demeanor stops her from emphasizing with him. His "warm" smile sends shivers down her spine, not the good kind, his left hand readies itself in the air for a grand gesture and his clothes look preened and faultless. She knows she probably can't hide it behind her fake smile, but all she feels is disdain.
Yet when the man starts to talk, she does notice that his voice has a deep rumble that resonates with her. Yas gets a good look at his sharp features and soft skin, since no matter what he says, he can't seem to stand still, instead opting for theatrical movement and emphasis on his words with every twitch of his face. "My dear bespackled attendant of this fine éstablissement, may I use some of your precious time to inquire about some items that might have found their way into your possession? Obviously, your help will be well compensated should you have any of these items at hand. I have had quite the adventure searching all over town and imagine my unbridled surprise upon finding out that there was still one last market to peruse. Resting amidst the-"
By this point Yas has already put two and two together, looking forward to the peacock finishing his exhausting monologue and confirming her suspicion. In the meantime she nods politely along, adding some "Uhuu's" and "no way's" here and there, nearly draining her affirmative vocabulary, until she finally has it and simply moves the diary she had been reading across the counter.
That shuts him up all right. As soon as his eyes spy the unassuming, worn-down cover, a wave of joy washes over his features, quickly hidden away just so, behind his noble mask.
She hopes that between his grandiose entrance and the following speech, he never realized that she was actively reading one of his diaries, before pushing it out of the way. When trying to glean his face for a reaction all she gets is the usual calm demeanor.
"I'm sorry for interrupting you, but from my colleagues' descriptions, this book and its siblings might be the item you're looking for. If you would like we can verify this by counter-checking the text with your description." Yas is trying everything not to let her face betray that she knows about the innards of this book or that she can't believe that the writer is the guy in front of her. It's never good to directly laugh at a customer.
A shadow crawls over the customer's face and suddenly her giddiness dissipates into fear. Unlike before, this time she feels like the show of emotion is meant for her. Yas quickly puts up her hands in defense: "I'm so sorry that my colleagues rustled around in your private property but they had to make sure none of the books were cursed or dangerous in a similar fashion. Obviously, I have no interest in further violating your privacy."
Now a toothy smile flashes across his features and instead of the cane he now leans onto the counter, somehow still being taller than Yas standing at full height. "My dear friend, I am so very grateful for your understanding. The loss of these precious memories has left me quite hurt and it would not do to add to this pain. There is no need for you to read more of the text, there should be a sigil on the blurp, simply lay it out here and I will show you."
With an unsure grin of her own, she does as he bids and lays down the book, blurp for both to see. A swift motion later he holds a dagger in his hand, much to the shock of Yas, yet before she can exclaim her bewilderment, he simply pokes himself in the finger and vanishes it just as quickly as he conjured it. A distinct smell of sulphur fills her nose and she gets a bit queasy looking at two drops of blood spilling on the page of the book.
A second ticks by and suddenly a fiery symbol burns itself into the book.
The silence afterward is palatable.
"Yeah. I guess this is yours, huh." Yas is sure that she is not getting paid enough to deal with what kind of fiery devil shit this might be, so she just shrugs and goes to the backroom to get the other books. She wants this man out of the shop as soon as possible.
As soon as she comes back into his view, he starts up again: "Thank you very much, dear. Say, you don't happen to have some hellishly delicious paintings lying around?"
Oh no.
She knows very well where they are, but considering what Cambrin, her boss, has done to them, she decides she won't be the one to bring this up.
"There might be some more in the personal vault of my employer, but he is unfortunately not in today and won't allow anyone else into his office." Before she finishes the sentence anger flashes into his eyes and his nose scrunches, but she has an idea to smoothe him over immediately. "I'm sure he will come in in the evening to make sure everything is up to speed. Considering how late it already is, it shouldn't be long now."
That somewhat appeases her customer and she allows herself a moment of respite.
He purses his lip, a hand to his chin as if to seriously consider what she just said. "Well, I think I can offer up some more of my precious time for your employer, even though it will certainly throw around my plans for the evening. Will some of your other colleagues be there tonight? Specifically, those that wanted to sate their curiosity with these books?" He is all smiles but there's a dangerous shine to his gaze, that renders his brown eyes almost black.
"The evening shift should be taking over then, yes. We usually stay open late into the night, so we have to change it up. Considering the work plan they might be there, but I can't make any promises."
He pushes himself further onto the counter to lean closer to her face as if to share a secret just between the two of them. "Surely you have heard of the little idiom of the fortunate rat, fleeing the ship before it tragically goes down with its captain. I suppose, there are certain situations in which one should adhere to that principle, saving one's skin before it is too late." He gifts Yas another smile, this time arguably more toothy than before, his canines growing before her eyes.
She can't stop herself from mumbling: "That would make me the rat I presume." They both lock eyes and all he does to acknowledge Yas is a slight tilt of the head.
Living in Baldur's Gate is hard enough as it is, with weird tentacle monsters, bandits, and bloody murders seeping into the daily survival. And now this… thing was making it very obvious that the shop was going to see his reckoning. Maybe it was finally time to leave the city for good.
With a deep inhale she takes a step back and fishes the key to the store out of her pocket, puts it on the counter with a soft clink and slips it over to the stranger.
"A very wise decision."
Without another word or acknowledgment, she steps out behind the bar and slowly makes her way to the exit. Before she can fully leave, however, the stranger has to get in another sentence:
"I do hope you remember to keep privacy matters a higher priority from now on, my dear. After all, you never know who might be watching."
She can only nod, locking eyes with him once again before she all but runs out of the store.
The next day she will walk past the store, finding it surrounded by Flaming Fists trying to put out the fires and talking about the charred corpses inside.

[CN] 5th Anniversary - Lucien (Creative Workshop)
⚠️ SPOILER ALERT!! ⚠️
This post contains a detailed spoiler for a story that has not been released in EN yet! Feel free to notify me if there are any mistakes in the translation~
Tumblr media
I was surprised and delighted to pick up the "gift" that was left in it- a pink and purple gemstone.
“It's so beautiful… I discovered that it looks a lot like your eyes.”
“This seems to be a poudretteite, one of the rarest gemstones in the world.”
“He knows very well that this box is difficult to crack, so the person who can unlock it-”
“-must be worthy of this precious gift.”
✧ 5th Anniversary Event | Prologue | Creative Workshop (You’re here!) | King Fuk Street | Wonderland | Star Plaza | Final Day- Heart Rain Lake | Roast! | Truth and Dare Pinball Machine | Random Event tidbits
Tumblr media
MC: Oh no, I think I left our camera in the hotel room!
MC: (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠) What's wrong with my memory? I obviously thought about it before I left the hotel!
Lucien: Rather than memory, I would say that MC is now a bit confused
MC: I'll go back and get it now, so don't follow me around.
Lucien: I actually have a quicker way to do it, but it requires some small payment.
Tumblr media
MC: What about… Mua! Will this be enough?
Lucien: This payment is slightly more than expected, so let me help you find it directly.
MC: Is it possible that you already helped me...?
Tumblr media
Lucien: My confused lady, please look down.
Lucien: It's always hanging on your chest.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tumblr media
MC: There seems to be a street full of DIY craft stores -
Lucien: They are creative workshops.
Lucien: This place is focused on DIY creativity for tourists to "create freely".
MC: This "Mr. Tour Guide" is very impressive - his language is simple and straightforward.
Tumblr media
Lucien: So the next time you have a similar question, you can ask me directly.
MC: Then the almighty Professor Lucien… please recommend a handicraft store for me~
Lucien: There are many options. After all, MC's craftsmanship is always very good.
Lucien: Like the cute shaped bento, ceramic couple mug...
Lucien: Or some small ingenuity that appears at home from time to time.
Tumblr media
Lucien: So I think it's a good idea to visit every store and try it.
MC: I've been complimented so much, so I really need to show off~
Tumblr media
Along the way, Lucien familiarly took me to experience a lot of creative handicraft shops, which made me suspect that this person secretly did his homework before coming.
However, the emerging suspicion dissipated in the lovely handiwork-
A pair of chubby little fox and rabbit crystal key pendants looking crystal clear under the sunlight.
MC: I now seem to appreciate the charm of DIY~ it has an extraordinary power to make things unique.
MC: Like both of them, each outline can't be reproduced a second time.
As I said that, I held up the little cuties and shook them.
Tumblr media
Lucien: I agree, but I have another interpretation.
Lucien: Very often, a unique presence emerges first, and then something different and unique is derived from that presence.
Lucien: For example, because of you, there are them.
Tumblr media
MC: And to cite another example, it is because Professor Lucien brought me here that they are here.
Tumblr media
Lucien: My student seems to be getting smarter and wiser.
While talking, he inadvertently slowed his pace, and a small wooden store broke into my view.
The display window is filled with boxes made of different materials and in different shapes
Wooden Luban locks, steel triangular cones, and nearly a hundred other strange objects occupied my eyes.
Lucien slightly leaned down and looked at the various delicate boxes with me.
Lucien: This store seems to be more special than other creative stores. Should we go in and take a look?
Tumblr media
I nodded and walked in with Lucien. This is a small store specializing in the production of mechanical boxes. According to the guidebook, the fun of deciphering is up to five stars
Considering that I had a highly intelligent genius with me, I confidently jumped at the chance and dragged Lucien to the service desk.
A store clerk dressed in a professional style enthusiastically introduced us.
Clerk: The machine boxes you see now were designed by previous customers.
Clerk: Experience the process of choosing the box of your choice, unlock the mechanism, and get the gift left by the last customer…
Clerk: Then modify the box, design your mechanism, and put in the gifts you want to leave behind.
Clerk: If you're interested, pick a box you like.
He guided us to a wooden shelf. Looking at the different shapes, I had difficulty choosing. I glanced at Lucien and saw that he was seriously surveyed.
MC: Why are all these boxes open and clawed?
Tumblr media
Lucien: Perhaps because the designers have different personalities, the appearance of the presentation will be very rich.
MC: That's right... Then I must look for a new one~
I said as I carefully scanned the shelves, and suddenly my eyes lit up- In one corner of the wooden shelf was an extraordinarily simple, unadorned square box.
Maybe because of the minimalist style is particularly conspicuous around here, I have a kind of inexplicable good feeling about it
Lucien: Ah, looks like MC has chosen?
MC: Um, it feels like the most eye-catching!
Tumblr media
MC: And I have a hunch that although this box looks simple, something may be hidden inside that makes people want to explore it!
As I was fiddling with it and ready to start unlocking the mechanism, I suddenly thought of something.
MC: Lucien, don't you want to choose?
He stood calmly as if he had already prepared.
Tumblr media
Lucien: I already had my choice long ago.
He pointed to the mechanical box in my hand.
Lucien: I want the box you designed.
Tumblr media
Lucien: I'm only interested in your box. I don't care about the other boxes.
The floor lamp mixed with the remaining sunlight, reflecting those eyes that were like deep water.
MC: Oh? Does it mean… that Professor Lucien is very confident that he can solve my modified mechanical box?
He looked at me quietly, with a look of certainty.
MC: Hmph! Just wait. I'll make it difficult for you!
However, after a few minutes, I don't know if it was because I was too slow to open the box or the store was too hot, but my palms were sweating.
MC: Uh...
There are very few buttons, but no matter how I fiddled, it did absolutely nothing.
It seems that I am not wrong about this ordinary box. It truly hides...
Tumblr media
There was always a glance falling on me, and I curled my lips in frustration and buried my face in Lucien's coat.
Tumblr media
MC: Ugh! Lucien, I reasonably suspect that the person who designed this box did it on purpose! They simply don't want the next person to solve the puzzle.
The chest beneath my cheeks vibrated slightly as if he were suppressing laughter.
Tumblr media
Lucien: Doesn't that just mean you've stepped into his trap?
I blinked in puzzlement as I looked at his face.
MC: What does that mean?
Seeing that he smiled but did not say anything, I held up the box and repeatedly turned it upside down, trying to find a flaw. But except for a few switch-like buttons, it was almost seamless.
MC: I don’t see any trap… But there must be a reason for so many buttons, right?
Lucien's eyes flickered, and he raised his hand to smooth out my bangs.
Tumblr media
Lucien: I think it's supposed to… fascinate you and get you into his rhythm.
Tumblr media
MC: …You mean, instead of thinking about the design logic of the other party, it is better to slowly decipher it according to my own rhythm?
Lucien did not say anything, just smiled. I thought about it and once again lowered my head and started tinkering.
Although I haven't figured out the pattern yet, I believe that if I patiently try every possible answer in every combination-
I would be able to discover its true side.
I don't know how long it took, but when I pressed the button for almost the 1000th time, with a "click", the box in my hand instantly fell apart into pieces of springs, iron, and small steel balls.
At the same time, there was a beautiful twinkle of light.
I was surprised and delighted to pick up the "gift" that was left in it- a pink and purple gemstone.
MC: This man is so generous. How can he give a precious gem as a gift?
I took the gemstone and held it out in front of Lucien. His deep eyes were slightly twinkling within the translucent gemstone.
Tumblr media
MC: It's so beautiful… I discovered that it looks a lot like your eyes.
He smiled, and his fingertips pointed to the gem that I was holding.
Lucien: This seems to be a poudretteite*, one of the rarest gemstones in the world.
MC: This gift is too valuable!
Lucien: I think it shows that the man really valued his own design.
Tumblr media
Lucien: He knows very well that this box is difficult to crack, so the person who can unlock it-
Lucien: -must be worthy of this precious gift.
MC: Then I have to cherish it properly, not only because it is precious, but also because it is proof of my hours of effort!
After I said that, I carefully put the gem into my bag. However, looking at the parts scattered in front of me, I was in a dilemma.
MC: The whole thing is scattered. How do I modify it?
Lucien reached out and took a spring scattered all over the table.
Lucien: I guess he set up an automatic disassembly mechanism after opening, so it cannot be put back once successfully opened.
Lucien: It seems that the designer only wanted one person to unlock it. Unfortunately-
He changed his tone and blinked at me a little worriedly.
Tumblr media
Lucien: What should happen to my gift?
MC: Eh?
He pointed to the scattered parts, and I reacted immediately, poking his palm with some embarrassment.
MC: But the box is impossible to re-assemble now…
Tumblr media
Lucien: But that was an uncontrollable accident. The gift MC promised me shouldn't be affected by this, should it?
He silently caught my finger and softly hooked it as if he had been greatly wronged.
Tumblr media
MC: So, according to Professor Lucien, now I owe you a gift, right?
He winked slyly and nodded as a matter of course.
Tumblr media
Lucien: Yes, and I'll remember to ask for it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(t/n: IT DOES LOOKS LIKE HIS EYES. Poudretteite is one of the rarest gems known. It was named after the Poudrette family, owners and operators of a quarry near Mont Saint-Hilaire, Quebec, Canada where the mineral was first found. It is a rare borosilicate with hexagonal crystallograpphy, with price around $3,000 per carat)
