Lila looks through Marinette bag and steals Tikki thinking she's a doll. She wants to pass Tikki off as a gift from Ladybug to the class. Tikki gets back at Lila. Bonus: Adrien, and Chloe both recognize Tikki and both figure out that Marinette is Ladybug. Chloe redemption.
What a lovely surprise
No bonus
Lila was planning to steal Marinette’s phone. Instead she found a Ladybug doll and lots of sweets. Wow...baker girl needs to lay off the candy.
Well, if she can’t have Marinette’s phone, she might as well steal her doll. Who even keeps dolls at their age?
It would be so easy to humiliate Marinette for her baby toy. But that wasn’t Lila’s style. She liked a challenge.
Cue Tikki overhearing Lila’s plan to pass her off as a gift from Ladybug.
As if.
While Lila was bragging about the present Ladybug gave her and how she adores it, Tikki escapes after making sure there was something left behind that could substitute her weight and size.
As Lila opened her bag to her eager listeners, out crawled out a swarm of ladybugs.
Now, the miraculous cure is seen as a red wind, you don’t really feel the sensation of crawling legs, nor can you closely see the swarm of ladybugs.
But this...a mass of red bugs...is just gross.
Everyone screamed, even Lila. She squealed and jumped, flinging her bag far from her. “Get it off me! Get it off me!”
Kim: Wth!!!
Alya: what kind of present was that?
Adrien: Ladybug would never give that as a present. Besides, I think Lila is just as surprised as the rest of us.
Lila: of course I’m surprised! That was not the present. It was a toy Ladybug! Not a swarm of ladybugs.
Turning to glare at Marinette. “Did you do this?”
Alya: why would Marinette do this?
Lila: I saw her admiring my toy and we all know Marinette has a habit of stealing phones. Check her purse.
Tikki quickly phased out of the purse.
Everyone just saw candy.
Kim: can I have the chocolate bar?
Rose: Lila, you need to apologize to Marinette!
Lila gritted her teeth. “I’m sorry.”
Alya: but who stole Lila’s toy and replaced it with...ladybugs?
Alix:...maybe the surprise was like a lucky charm. Able to burst into ladybugs?
Max: a little warning would have been nice
Alya: I don’t think so. Ladybug would never do this to her best friend. Someone must have stolen the real gift and replaced it with this...loveliness....
Horrible word for a group of ladybugs that creep the hell out of you. Thank god they were flying off already.
MylĂšne: but how could someone transfer that much ladybugs? No way.
Adrien: maybe Ladybug sent them as a warning.
He had advised Marinette to leave Lila alone and she had agreed. Adrien didn’t believe for a second Marinette would prank Lila. But for Lila to go after her, maybe she had stolen from Marinette and was trying to frame her now for something gone wrong.
Careful with his wording, Adrien sweetly said, “after all, on our first day, Lila told me she had important things to tell me about Ladybug. But then who showed up but Lady Luck herself, scolding Lila for just announcing ‘their best friend relationship’ to the world. We all know how Ladybug likes her privacy. I don’t think your best friend is happy with you, Lila.”
Adrien’s words worked. Ladybug did value her privacy...but for her to send such a crĂ©epy warning to her best friend just didn’t add up. Unless...
Nino: are you even best friends with Ladybug?
Ivan: you don’t have any proof. Ladybug herself never said so. You are as much Ladybug’s self-proclaimed best friend as ChloĂ© is!
ChloĂ© filed her nails, not bothering to raise her head. “Except everyone knows Ladybug trusts me with a miraculous. But can Lila say she is Rena Rouge when we know she is Volpina?”
Lila scrambled to regain control. “Of course I’m Rena! Volpina was my akumatized form.”
Alya: except weren’t you supposed to be in Achu during Heroes’ Day?
Lila: Pegasus brought me back.
Max: Pegasus didn’t even show up for battle. Logic would agree Ladybug would have wanted as much heroes as possible against Scarlet Moth’s army.
Juleka: not to mention, ChloĂ© wasn’t exactly Ladybug’s first choice for a bee heroine. Accidents happen. But we all know Ladybug would want a hero who could keep a secret. And no offense Lila, but you suck at them.
Rose: not that we don’t enjoy celebrity gossip.
Alix: if they were ever true.
Lila saw she was being cornered and immediately burst into fake tears and ran away.
Kim: so to be clear, we’re not going to believe Lila anymore, right?
Alix: yup.
Max: affirmative
Marinette: finally
Lila came back with Ms Bustier, who scolded the class for bullying Lila. The class protested that Lila was a liar
Bustier: oh so you didn’t corner her until she burst out crying?
Alya: she accused Marinette of stealing some toy but Marinette was innocent! She’s been lying to us about everything!
Bustier: now, Lila, you can’t just accuse people without evidence.
Lila: she’s jealous of me!
Bustier: that’s not evidence.
Lila continued to sob.
Bustier sighed, “Perhaps I should call your mother and ask her to take you home.”
The tears miraculously vanished. “No. I don’t want to be a bother. I am a grown girl. I can handle my own problems.”
Bustier: good. Now class, turn to chapter 7....
Ivan: hey if Lila was lying about everything, doesn’t that mean she was playing truant?
Bustier: interrupting is rude, Ivan. Besides, I have her mother’s signed note and emails
Max: how do you know those are not forged and fake?
Nathaniel: did you even call Mrs Rossi to confirm?
Bustier: is that really necessary?
Sabrina: if you didn’t do that, you would be breaking protocol and would be held partially responsible for not doing your job
Bustier: this is ridiculous. Class is in session now, not court.
Chloé: I wonder if the school board would be interested in making an inspection of the akuma class.
Everyone turned to stare at Chloé.
Marinette: you do remember that you cause most akumas right?
ChloĂ© shrugged. “If I’m the bad seed, then Ms Bustier is the one who watered the evil tree.”
Adrien: i thought you liked Ms Bustier
Chloé: that was before she ignored Lila sexually harassing you!
Nino: what?
Adrien: i wouldn’t say harass...
ChloĂ©: you also wouldn’t say your father was an overprotective control freak who neglects you emotionally
Cue silence as Adrien sputters and the class agrees with Chloé.
Chloé: since you would accuse me and Dupain-Cheng for being biased.... illustrator, when Lila touches Adrien, is Adrien standing tall or leaning away.
Nathaniel: he was leaning away. Lila does seem to have no concept of personal boundaries
Marinette: why didn’t you stop her then?
Nathaniel shrugged. “I told Lila off in private. And it was just one time. I never saw her doing it again because Adrien doesn’t always stand close to her.”
Sabrina: I have the photos to prove Adrien minds Lila invading his space.
Chloé: so Miss Liar is guilty of deception, truancy, and sexual harassment. And is our favorite teacher honestly going to wait for an inspector to yell at her for not doing her job?
Under the pressuring stares, Bustier broke. “Fine. Lila, go to the principal’s office.”
ChloĂ©: who says she’ll obey?
Bustier: Marinette, go with Lila.
Marinette: but she always twists my words!
Alya: why can’t ChloĂ© go? The principal always listens to her
ChloĂ©: I’m busy.
Marinette: what happened to doing this for Adrien?
Chloé: ugh. Fine. You people are ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous and hopeless without me.
Lila promptly got expelled. Her mother was called. The usual punishments happen. Even as Lila pointed out the principal was biased, the evidence of Chloe’s accusations were undeniable.
Later, Marinette asked what all that was about.
Tikki: oh she stole me so I had decided to teach her a lesson. Don’t mess with ladybugs.
At Agreste Mansion,
Adrien: so if you felt like it, you could summon a clowder of cats?
Plagg: yup. Much more preferable than actual plagues. Of course the target would be scratched and bitten by many wild cats, but this is already much more merciful than my previous punishments for offenders.

Borne of the Stars - Chapter 7 - An MLB Kryptonian AU
Tag List:  @eve-valution @weird-pale-blonde-person @kris-pines04 @soulmate-game @abrx2002 @amayakans @vixen-uchiha @heldtogetherbysafetypins @raisuke06 @dorkus-minimus @captainartsypants @mopester-is-here @moonlightstar64 @annabellabrookes @maribat-is-lifeblood @toodaloo-kangaroo @the-navistar-carol @elspethshadow @chocolatecatstheron​ @ivymala07
[ Posted on Ao3 ] [ Chapter 1 ] [ Chapter 6 ] [ Chapter 8 ]
[ A/N: Chapter 8 is also finished, I will be posted it right after this one! ]
[Summary:  Lunchtime break has arrived, and the Parisian duo meet the companions Kara has in Paris. ]
The first three hours of class passed by quickly, full of teacher introductions, reviews, and chatter from students not yet out of their summertime mindsets. Marinette was happy to see Mlle. Mendeleiev had moved up from teaching in their old collÚge and had transferred to their new lycée with them, but not as their homeroom teacher. 
During Mademoiselle Mendeleiev’s third period Algebra class, Alix learned Kara was just as willing to take on bets as Kim, and they started a note-passing competition to see who would get caught first. Marinette and Nino both got roped in half way through when one of the notes fell on the former's head, and the latter picked it off and snorted at the message inside, hiding it before Mlle. Mendeleiev could see it or Marinette could have a curious peak.
Marinette lost by a technicality of being spotted, but won in her own way when she didn't get in trouble. For one, she knew the teacher was harsh against students messing around in class, but was lenient to let the ones who had completed their work already, and letting them have their fun so long as it wasn’t distracting. She had finished her review sheet before the other three, and the note wasn’t considered distracting because, conveniently, it was an offer to tutor Nino during lunches. All of her notes had been class related in preparation for her luck not holding out, so when the bell rang for the end of class, she was mildly smug when she turned back to the girls behind her and grinned at them. 
“That was fun! I’m glad you still got your work done, though maybe make your bets after finishing first, okay?”
The three note-passers hid their giggles as they nodded. Nino nudged her then, and she jumped up. “Oh right! Everyone, wait up!” MArinette stood and scooped up the box of macaroons she had pulled from her locker before the class had started, and hopped down the stairs to stand at the door. “Macaroons! Happy first day of lycĂ©e everyone!”
Most of the class broke out into moderate whoop and thank yous as they filed out the door and took a macaroon each. 
“See you down at the lunch tables today?” Adrien asked as he bit into his attained treat. Marinette took notice of a pin peeking out from under his overshirt, smiling internally as she recognized the colors of the bi pride flag, glad to see him knowing himself a lot better than he had two years ago.
Marinette glanced at Nino standing with Kara, both waiting for her outside the door and she considered the question. She nodded to them and shook her head. “I think Nino and I will show the new girl around today. See you in class later?”
“Course! See you, Marinette! Let’s go Alya, I'm starving.”
“I sure hope not,” was Alyas teasing retort. “I’ll try to start a smear campaign against your dad again, and this time you won't stop me!” Adrien only laughed as the two headed down the stairs and out of sight. 
After making sure Mlle. Mendeleiev got a macaroon of her own, Marinette joined her friends out in the hall, the remaining treats back in the bag on her back. 
“So, what now? I know I said we’d show you around, but I won't make either of you go anywhere if you don't want to. Nino, you up for it?”
The boy nodded vigorously, his hat slipping before he stopped. As he straightened it out, he answered properly. “Of course, bro! I finally get to hang out with this cool dudette outside of your house, there's no way i'm passing this up. No offense, Mari, but she must have been dying always being cooped up inside a bakery, even if it did smell heavenly. How bout you, Kara, up for your first real visit around Paris, City of Love?”
Marinette ignored the way Nino wiggled his brow at Kara as she focused on the other girl, awaiting her answer. 
“Yeah, one sec’, let me check something,” she pulled out her phone, searching her messages. “Remember how I said I didn’t move here alone?”
The two others nodded, remembering the comment from that morning and the unanswered question of who are the others. Kara grinned down at her phone and then back as she quickly typed out a text and sent it. She turned the phone around to show them a new group chat log with one message, ‘meet us, front courtyard, goin out for lunch and fun!’,  and two speech bubbles displaying the recipients as already replying.
Both replies were identical. 
‘“Us?”’
Kara laughed as she turned the phone back and saw the texts, putting it away without replying. “How long are lunches here, anyways?”
“Two hours,” Nino answered her as he led the way to the stairs.
Stars joined the twinkle in the hero’s eyes. “Oh, I am never going back to America now.”
Marinette and Nino laughed as they headed down the steps and led the way through the halls and out of the school building, into the open courtyard now dotted in groups of students.
“Here she comes,” Kara says absently, stopping and standing in the spot as though waiting. The other two turn around curiously but are interrupted by an excited yell before they can ask.
“Kara!!” In a fashion almost identical to Marinette that morning, a hoodie wearing ginger haired girl went barreling into the called person like a purple streak, caught without wavering in a solid hug. 
“Hey there little Batsy,” Kara grinned as she let the other go, looking around. “Where’s Karen? I thought you had class together?”
“She’s catching up! Look, there she is!” 
The new girl gestured back the way she came, and there was another girl, honey-toned skin, dark, thickly curled hair tied up into two pigtails with a golden highlight streaking through one, and dressed in a striped soft yellow and brown sweater. Marinette’s first thought was she looked like a very adorable bee. 
The newest girl huffed as she slowed from her sprint and made her way over, clearly a bit miffed with all the rushing around, yet glad to have found her friends.
“H-hey, I’m here! Hi, Kara,” Karen finally greeted as she caught her breath. “You said something about, ‘us’? Who is us? Oh! Are you us??” She turned to Nino and Marinette as she questioned them, a slight smile in greeting on her lips, though a crease of worry in her brow at being unprepared for meeting anyone new.
The two addressed teens nodded in unison, “Yeah! nice to meet you, dudes, I’m Nino Lahiffe, one of Kara’s classmates.” He held out a hand for a fistbump in greeting, which got returned with varying levels of enthusiasm and hesitation from the two newcomers to the group. 
“Marinette Dupain-Cheng, nice to meet you two!” She waved as she greeted, smiling brightly. The two green eyed girls waved back happily.
“Karen, Karen Beecher, nice to meet you two, too.”
“I’m Barbra Gordon, but you can call me Babs, it’s much easier. Wait, Nino? Like, the Nino that Kara has started to listen to a ton of music from, that Nino?”
“Uh,” was his wide-eyed response, and Kara laughed as she wrapped an arm around his shoulder.
“Yup, he’s that Nino; cool, right? Finally get to introduce you guys and, bonus, hang out properly for once.” 
“But, wait,” Karen interrupted, looking pensive, “What about.. Uhm
”
“Geode?” Babs supplied helpfully, and Marinette stiffened at the nickname. 
“Well, yes, her, too, but,” Karen shook her head, “actually I was going to say: ‘Didn’t you meet him as you-know-who and thus shouldn’t be acting so familiar with him?’ Kinda blows your cover and defeats your whole purpose here, doesn't it?”
“She has a point,” Babs chimed in, pointing at Kara with an exaggerated frown and a raised brow. 
Kara rolls her eyes, “Yeah, but kinda pointless you hide it, don't ya’ think? If I can't be her, it means I can't exactly hang out like normal, now can I? Besides! I trust these two to keep it on the down-low; they're really good at it so far.”
As though suddenly realizing that they were discussing the identities of Supergirl in front of her, the two other American girls turned their gazes on Marinette, who took a half step back in surprise.
“Wait,” Babs tilted her head, tapping her pursed lips in thought. “Does that mean-?” 
“Indeed, Babs,” Kara piped back in with glee. “Girls, meet the cutie of Paris I may have forgotten to tell you the actual name of; the one and the only: Geode.” Kara made an exaggerated flourish of her hands as she said this, as though she was presenting Marinette like some kind of royalty to a court.
Marinette couldn't help but to blush in embarrassment at the whole display and explanation, waving slightly once more. 
Karen and Babs stared at her before the news finally settled, and it clicked for them both at the same time.
“Ohh
” They said in unison.

Ever After Chapter 9.6
3rd Person
Alex went back to the dressing room to change to a white shirt. Annie and Elvz thought they were done but were surprised when Alex asked for a retouch.
"You have another performance? I thought we're leaving? Do you still need to be pretty for us? Alex, no one else needs you to be pretty, it's just us." Elvz asked.
"Ani..." Alex was interrupted.
"Ani, Sage is there. So the gift needs to be pretty." Annie hinted.
"Gift?" Elvz asked innocently.
"Sage's birthday was last week, right? Is this your birthday gift?" Annie teased then the two laughed after Elvz got what she meant.
"I see...We saw him too when we peeked from backstage and OMG! He's so hot in his military uniform, with all the sweat he wiped when he came." Annie remarked with widened eyes.
"He was still fully clothed but he was oozing with hotness already. I can already see his biceps beneath his uniform... especially, after all his military training." Elvz exclaimed as she covered her mouth to control herself.
Immediately after, Elvz and Annie shrieked together, jumping while holding each other's hands.
"You know what, my husband was not fit before enlistment. But when he came out, oh la la. I didn't know he could have some abs and toned muscles." Then she added, "Though he only got 4-pack abs. But I'm not complaining. From none to 4? That's a dream come true all ready. And besides, he was only assigned as a police officer."
"Is that the reason why you married him immediately after his enlistment? His muscles and abs?" Aira joked as she checked Alex's face.
"Yes! Too bad, after 5 years, his 4 pack abs were non-existent anymore. Only single one remained. His abs are like "once upon a time" now." Elvz narrated feeling defeated.
They all laughed at her. But they know she was just kidding. She loved her husband dearly, with or without abs.
"Going back, so how much more for Sage? Army training is different and more intense. He already had 6 before enlisting..."
"8..." Alex corrected, which was her mistake. So she added, "I think?". But it's too late now because the trio began teasing her endlessly. The riot officially sparked again.
"So you checked him out?" Elvz inquired with widened eyes.
"He had a topless scene in After All..." Alex replied with the simplest and innocent answer she could with blushed cheeks, avoiding eye contact.
"Of course, you will check your man's assets properly", Annie added as she looked at her thru the mirror.
"So you are a part-time accountant now, Alex?" Aira teased her as she sat down to the nearest chair.
"Accountant Alex, if you are willing, you could share your annual report about Sage's asset so we could assess it all together? The financial growth, the return of investment, and all... We would gladly listen, if only you want." Elvz pleaded once more.
Alex was blushing while changing her clothes as she listened to the two, and of course, her imagination was also activated. The riot only stopped because of a knock on the door. Aira immediately hushed the two.
"Ms. Elle, General Yoon is asking for your presence in his office."
"Okay. We'll follow in a minute." Aira said dismissed the officer with a smile.
Elle and Aira then went to Mr. Yoon's office.
"Thank you so much for gracing our invitation, Elle. We really appreciate your performance. You made our soldiers look so comforted and happy." General Yoon sincerely thanked her while the duo occupied the seats in front of his table.
"It's my honor, General. I'm glad that I made them happy." Alex replied with a genuine smile.
"You also gave 2 bonus songs. If you have any request today, I would gladly grant it as a token of my appreciation."
"Hmmm, actually there is, General Yoon."
"What is it? You can tell me."
"A friend of mine is currently assigned here. If he's not on duty as of the moment, could I request to see him? I mean, he is actually a family friend and his mom knew that I will be performing here today so she sent something for him. But if it's against the rules sir, then I would understand."
"May I ask the name of the friend you would like to see Miss Elle, if he's not on duty then you can see him, that won't be a problem. I gave you my word, and I'm bound to keep it, so feel free to tell me."
"It's Mr. Sage Kim General Yoon." Alex declared while stroking her fingers on her lap trying to hide her nervousness.
After hearing the name, he responded, "Okay, I'll send someone to fetch him." He then dialed a number on his telephone.
"Major Park, can you check the schedule of Mr. Sage Kim and see if he's not on duty as of the moment?... Oh, okay, send him to the private visitor's area....okay."
After the call, he instructed, "I'll leave the three of you in one of our VIP meeting rooms later. As much as you could stay here in my office, I know you might be needing some privacy."
"Thank you so much, General, for your consideration." Aira smiled in appreciation of the general.
"We won't take long because we still need to go back to the capital immediately because Elle has an early schedule tomorrow."
"Oh, how hardworking Elle is. Well if you'll be leaving after this visit, could I request a picture and autograph from Elle for my daughter? She's a fan and a shipper. So as my wife. They've watched your drama. They are already bombarding me with messages about why I didn't invite them here today. So if you won't mind..."
"Sure thing, General Yoon." Elle agreed in delight without a second thought.
"But a gentle request, Sir. Please do not post the photo of them together. It might arouse issues and this might put Elle in a bad light if this goes out to the media." Aira reminded him. She didn't want to have another dispute with the CEO. And another issue would be troublesome.
"I know. Trust me, this will solely be for my wife and daughter and I would tell them that this picture would be highly classified. Thank you very much." General Yoon assured with a serious look.
They then took a photo. Elle signed a photocard. She even gave a signed album. After signing, someone knocked on the door.
It was Sage.
When he entered the room, he expected to see the general alone. But to his surprise, he saw Aira and across her seat was Alex...his wife.
His heart started to pound like a hardly beaten drum but he had to maintain his composure. He's wearing his military uniform.
Their eyes met. Alex saw longing, love, so as confusion in his eyes. But both of them managed to look like casual friends who met after a long time and the general did not sense anything out of the ordinary.
"For childhood friends, you don't look that close." General Yoon remarked.
"We are very close, Sir." Sage responded after his salute.
Everyone laughed and since Sage was there, he was immediately asked to sign and do photo ops. After their short fan meeting moment, the General lead the three, in a small meeting room then left.
As the door closed, Aira immediately turned into a supportive bestfriend and said,
"Okay, I will turn my back on you two. You can kiss. I know you miss each other. Just tell me if you're done. I'll cover my ears too. Just tone it down."

Thoughts on Kwamibusters
Warning: Spoilers! That's all.
Plagg's cheese addiction goes too far to the point that he leaves Adrien's bag and heads to Mrs. Mendeleiev's class.
And wait, there's more! Tikki tries to talk some sense into Plagg because he apparently does this EVERY DAY! I swear, his cheese addiction has gone too far! He even calls it "magic cheese" that "reappears" everyday!
At some point, Mrs. Mendeleiev apparently spotted Plagg because she apparently had this all set up: hiding behind the desk with a net and saying "I got you now" or some sort of variation of that.
While trying to catch Tikki and Plagg, Mrs. Mendeleiev had made a fool of herself and made the Miracu-class wonder what was going on. Which is a mood when one hears a thud. Then there's Miss Bustier, who tries to get their attention, which is a teacher's mood. Overall, that was all a mood.
Tikki and Plagg (to some extent) should be fortunate that Kwamis cannot be captured on video or photographically because apparently, Mrs. Mendeleiev had set up a camera. But they are obviously not off the hook as Mrs. Mendeleiev saw them.
More Tikki and Marinette bonding please! I like how Marinette sees Tikki as the one friend she can be real with. Reminds me of my dynamic with my best friend in which we are honest with each other.
Plagg being on the roof was mood. He just chilling there as if nothing has happened. But don't worry. Tikki reminds him that they are in danger of exposing their owners' identities and in danger themselves.
"What's the worst that could happen?" Plagg, Plagg, Plagg. You truly are calm in a situation that has dire consequences. But let me explain that later.
Mrs. Mendeleiev apparently goes as far as to appear in Alternative Truth TV: Where nothing is really true or false. This Plagg. This is the worst that could happen.
Kim being obsessed with the show is relatable. Him acting as the talk show host was fun to watch and he annoys Mr. Damocles in the process. An added bonus. He's asked to sit and be quiet so many times. Couldn't help but laugh.
He's also super energetic about Mrs. Mendeleiev's appearance on the show and cheers on for Alix's brother as well.
I understand Alix being annoyed with her brother for being on the show to prove that Egyptian Pyramids are actually spaceships. I hope my brother never does this otherwise I am moving to another country and changing my surname. She's barely holding it together and I felt some secondhand embarrassment. Why must her brother do this?
I am not surprised that Adrien and Marinette are shocked that Mrs. Mendeleiev discovered their kwamis with an accurate description. Interdimensional beings that can go through matter and like aged cheese (I'm looking at you Plagg!)
Adrien saw Marinette leave during the show. Reasons for suspicion are starting to pour in.
And can we talk about the drawings? That went from 0-100 real quick. Their thought might be "Definitely my kwami".
And I gotta say, Mrs. Mendeleiev has better artistic skills than me. I am really bad at drawing.
Marinette for the first time in a while was not the one that had to learn a lesson. This time its Tikki who learns a lesson. We've never seen Tikki be reprimanded before, so take notes.
I seriously love the bond between Mari and Tikki. They are willing to forgive each other for their mistakes, no matter how serious the consequences are.
Mari also figures out that Chat Noir attends Francois-Dupont and that he must be one of the boys after Tikki mentioned Plagg. But withheld from trying to uncover more so she would not have to give up her Miraculous.
Which reminds me: WHEN DID IT BECOME PART OF THE RULES THAT IF EITHER ONE OF THE HEROES IN OUR FAVORITE DUO THAT THEY HAVE TO GIVE UP THEIR MIRACULOUS???? It was initially for security reasons that they would not reveal their identities, but if it's by accident, they still have to give up their Miraculous???? There's a major plot hole here that I'm gonna keep thinking about and no I will not stop internally screaming.
And another thing, Marinette seemed very sad about the idea of relinquishing her Miraculous. The sense of responsibility and the feeling of saving Paris I feel gave her a sense of serving a purpose. I mean who else would feel like they are serving a purpose by being a superhero, savior of [insert place]? What I'm trying to say in my confusing sentence is that she enjoys (to a great extent) being Ladybug and does not want to give that up.
Before we get to the Adrien and Plagg moment, the panel of judges for Alternative Truth believed Alix's brother with a 3/3 vote, but Ms. Mendeleiev did not get any votes, making her statement false. She does not take this well. (Because why would she take it well? She was humiliated on TV for goodness sake?) This is when she gets akumatized and Hawkmoth tells her what they are called.
Alya feels embarrassed for Mrs. Mendeleiev, whereas Chloé was humiliated for herself because Ms. Mendeleiev is her teacher??? Your teacher was humiliated on TV, so stop making it about you Chloé!
And speaking of Chloé, how did she not recognize Tikki and connect the dots??? I saw on Tumblr and on the YouTube comments that in "Princess Fragrance", she met Tikki and found out that she belonged to Marinette. She would've been able to figure out that Tikki is a kwami and Marinette is one of the superheroes at the very least. But then again, Ms. Mendeleiev's drawing was...okay.
Adrien just jumped in and said Plagg was irresponsible (me). And how did Plagg react? He was like "Kwamis can never be caught" and basically called him and Tikki party poopers. (Well, he called Tikki Sugarcube, so that leads to my next point).
He figures out that Ladybug is someone he knows already at school. This is when Plagg panics.
Adrien and Marinette leave the bathroom at the same time and Adrien noticed Mari, but both run back when they hear the news alert.
Back to Mendeleiev, she turns into Kwamibuster, which is obviously the paradoy reference to Ghostbusters (if you are into that sort of thing). And speaking of references, she reminded some of us about Mr. Crocker from Fairy Odd Parents. Although she is not the crazy lunatic that Crocker is.
May I mention that the screen was split and we ended up getting a united look at the news, with one half of the screen being from Mari's end and the other half from Adrien. I loved that so much! Can we get more of that please?
Before Adrien transforms, he asks Plagg if Marinette was Ladybug. YES YOU HEARD THAT RIGHT! Oblivious Adrien figured it out and was happy about the thought. And Plagg RUINED EVERYTHING! He was like "NoooOoo" and gave the speech that figuring out Ladybug's identity means giving up his Miraculous. Also, note how he was anxious to be sucked into the ring. And we know how Plagg normally feels about it. Also, his advice: ignore the problem. For once, that's actually good advice.
Ladybug saves Alec (I believe that's his name) from falling 50 feet from the safe and he gets out of the safe, seemingly star struck that Ladybug saved him. Either he was in shock from almost dying or from being saved by an icon. This was something new to watch since normally everyone else does not shout "Ladybug saved me!" in the way he did. I might be overthinking it.
"Ladybug defies the laws of science." -> Chat Noir. This was his best entrance line in my opinion.
Ladybug and Chat Noir argued over whose kwami is responsible for this mess. Ladybug's argument is that Plagg was irresponsible. Chat's argument was that Tikki was there too. Ladybug's rebuttal was that Tikki was trying to keep Plagg in line and that Chat and Plagg are a perfect match. You know if you think about it, superhero personality and kwami personality are sorta linked.
Ladybug gets zapped and detransforms. Chat goes to check up on her, but she says she's fine. He respects her privacy and helps her escape. See? Even Chat knows priorities. Although she would not have been caught if he didn't distract her from escaping Kwamibuster. (This is causation, I am in a Law and Society major, and I have a Criminal Law test next week. Moving on!)
Chat gets blasted too and escapes as well. And that leads us to...
...BANANA NOIR ORIGIN STORY! One of the hosts was wearing a banana suit, which Adrien found in the end to hide his identity while he escaped. And this is the origin story because...
...this episode took place before "Feast", where we see Banana Noir (I'm sorry, I'm still laughing.) Why do we know this? Because after Feast, Master Fu went on the run (to some extent). Marinette went to Master Fu's place in this episode to strategize.
Master Fu, I know you were the one who implemented the identity rule! I'm onto you!
Anyways, THIS IS THE MULTIMOUSE EPISODE! Marinette literally wore every single Miraculous that was in the Miracle Box, to which Master Fu warns that too much power could mess with her head. Now we wonder if Emeline wore the Butterfly and Peacock Miraculous at the same time and something went wrong??
But we know Marinette well enough that we should trust her with her plans. I mean to echo Wayzz, Marinette had never let them down. Also, there were some Miraculous that were worn only to free the kwamis so that they'd help her.
MULTIMOUSE TRANSFORMATION ROCKS!!! I STAN! (This is just as awesome as Lady Noire's transformation)
This excitement is short-lived though because Multimouse ends up feeling lightheaded when she was about to head out. But she rises and marches forward. YOU GO GIRL!
The Kwami Swarm (Stampede?) comes flying in, to the delight of Kwamibuster and Hawkmoth.
Multimouse introduces herself separate of Ladybug, though she is flattered. Adrien trusts her to get Plagg back, which is awesome!
[Kwami 1], [Kwami 2]: unify! The unification of the Miraculous was AWESOME!
Multimouse (well, a few of her copies) were captured on purpose so she could unify with Plagg was the most genius idea ever!
The one with Chat's Ring returned it to him so he would no longer be in the Banana costume, which he was glad to ditch (even though he kept it in theory).
Mirage!
The mirage involved fixing everything and being able to show that Marinette was Multimouse, but a separate person from Ladybug. I sense the problem that because Marinette in a sense is Multimouse, Hawkmoth could use that to his advantage. But what is the possibility that she will be Multimouse again. Also, Chat was the only one there! So that's that.
Chat was like "I don't know what my kwami was doing at that elementary school." Ladybug in a sort of deadpanned tone: "It was a high school". I couldn't help but laugh. He said it was a high school before, he goes there, and it was the simplest plan to hide his identity compared to Ladybug's.
If Marinette and Ladybug were two different people, I'd ship them, no doubt. Chat, you got competition...
I am a bit annoyed at Chat because he wasn't able to recognize that Ladybug and Marinette look similar, but then again, he probably followed Plagg's advice so he'd be able to keep his Miraculous.
Mr. Cat. MR. CAT??? Excuse me Ms. Mendeleiev, but his name is Chat Noir, not Mr. Cat.
Thank you Chat for reminding Ms. Mendeleiev that she should keep it a secret for the sake of Paris. THANK YOU! Also, "wee!" as in "flying through the city is fun!" (Someone on YouTube pointed this out).
Now remember! The whole thing was a Mirage. That means the akuma wasn't purified yet and everything had yet to be repaired. This is when everything is fixed for real.
Few things to note: Marinette was tired before resorting everything to reality. She deserves a nap after this.
Also, the Lucky Charm this time was a bowl used to contain the Akuma. It is less convoluted than all the other Lucky Charmd from before. But then again, the whole plan was complex.
And to cap it all off, Marinette is the most powerful, smartest person in all of Paris, or even the world. She was mentally and physically capable of wielding multiple Miraculous at once and came up with the most genius plan with multiple moving parts. Our girl is making history in the Miraculous History books. In this essay, I will.
Overall, 10/10 because of Multimouse and Adrien hitting the jackpot on who is Ladybug. The one thing that ticked me off was the whole identity rule that seemingly came out of nowhere. Like where did that come from??? We could have had progress on the identity reveal, but no! It all has to be a secret. I feel like this will go on for the rest of the series. But everything else was awesome and I enjoyed it so much that I watched it three times today. And I spent 4 hours writing this.

Bodyguard
Tumblr media
Pairings: Do Kyung Soo x OC
Genre: Mature,  Romance, Angst (But not love angst), fluff 
Warnings: Main character under trauma.
Summary: Ae Ra is a singer who has been receiving threatening messages and letters for a while now, but she didn’t give them importance. Until one day the sender decides to act and kidnaps her. It’s then when her agency decides that she needs protection, so they hired two bodyguards for her. Mister Do and Mister Park.
Chapter 9 
She was back at her house two days later. An intern from her agency made sure to keep her house fresh, the plants watered and her fridge full. It wasn’t too hard to go back to her normal life. At least inside her house. She really missed her bed, her studio, her garden, and even her furniture. She even was able to sleep alone. At least the night of Chanyeol’s shift.
By the third day she decided that it was time to start facing things. She wanted to end this issue as fast as possible “Mister Lee Joon Young in now been questioned by my partner and the psychologist” It felt weird to finally know the name of that man. She wasn’t sure if it was a good weird or bad weird “I was at home once and I saw her perform on stage” She read on his statement “And I could see it. Her body language, the way she looked at the camera and her lyrics, she was calling for an uprising so her twisted ideas could reign, followed by a horde of innocent people who would do everything she said, they are all organized, ready to attack at any moment” Ae Ra couldn’t believe what she was reading “We ask him what his sources were, with the excuse that we needed to investigate it so we could press charges against you, he gave us a list of websites, hashtags, usernames, etc” He stopped and sighed in frustration “They were all fansites, blogs dedicated to you, fan accounts, and the words they used to refer to you are Queen, goddess , and everybody professed rather feverishly they love and blind trust towards you, acting like a cult, this only feed is fantasy” Chanyeol and Kyung Soo were showing their anger in different ways. Chanyeol was holding his head between his hands, shaking it in disbelief. Kyung Soo was laying back, his arms folded across his chest, and a leg bouncing in exasperation. He looked so mad that it scared her. It was tragicomic, Minseok always joked about how every fan meeting looked like mass, someone took it literal “That’s all we have for now, he believes he is in the right, so his attitude towards us is of course not the best, but he already confessed, everything is there, so we don’t need you to meet him, not until the trial at least” That was a relief. She was ready to face him, but that readiness was a lot of fake it until you make it. She was still terrified by him. And she didn’t even know what he looked like.     The detective walked them out of his office and engaged in a light conversation with them when they heard a small commotion ahead. Ae Ra stopped on her track, instinct maybe, and Chanyeol and Kyung Soo stood behind her. A couple of policemen walked in front of them, talking in their radios, and a couple of steps behind, two more cops walked by holding a handcuffed man. Ae Ra looked down out of respect and watched the three pairs of feet walked by, but one of them stopped “Ae Ra” A male voice called quietly “It’s you Ae Ra” He said louder this time, almost shouting. She looked up, she knew she shouldn’t have to, she should have taken a step back. But she didn’t, she looked up and met the eyes of the men calling her name. Lee Joon Young. He was tall, with long limbs, gaunt, and his skin lacked any shine or color. His eyes were red and big. He stared at her without blinking. He kept struggling, trying to free himself from the grip of the policemen, moving closer to her. She wanted to move away, but her legs didn’t respond “Let me go so I can finish her!” He shouted right on her face, but before she could move away, Kyung Soo pulled her behind him and rushed on his direction. Chanyeol was quicker this time and grabbed Kyung Soo, passing his arms under his armpits and over his chest. Kyung Soo tried to charge again, but Chanyeol stopped him. Joon Young began laughing, a loud, terrifying laugh “Look at that, your toy boy is here!” She was sure she felt the same rush of anger that Kyung Soo felt, wash over her. She took two big steps, but Chanyeol stopped her too, grabbing her by her jacket, stopping her from taking one step closer. She was furious, him calling Kyung Soo like that remained her of the times he tried to hurt him. She wasn’t going to let that happen again. She tried to take her jacket off so she could move, but Chanyeol noticed it and pulled her again, making her lose some balance. Only then Kyung Soo looked away from Joon Young and moved her attention to Ae Ra, worried that she could fall. At the same time, the two policemen were able to control Lee Joon Young and took him out of the place. Chanyeol didn’t release his friend or Ae Ra, just in case “You two are making a scene, let’s go!” He grabbed them both by the arm and walked them back into the detective’s office.
++
A couple of days later, Mister Min arrived at her house with her lawyer. Kim Junmyeon looked as young as he was, and she liked that.  Maybe he wasn’t very experienced, but he had the ethics that only youth gives you. And if Mister Min brought him, it meant he was good. Mister Min, Junmyeon, Kyung Soo sat at her dining table with her, cups of coffee at hand and folders with police reports inside “Lee Joon Young confessed all his crimes, although he didn’t really need to, his fingerprints were found on the gun that was used to shoot you, his car and motorcycle matched the ones seeing on the footage,  and we are going to use that,  but he sustains that it was a favor for our country, the defense is having a hard time” “What about Jin Tae Ri?” “Well in her case, she has a record, she recognized that she attacked you in the bathroom and broke into your house, the bathroom attack was a femicide attempt, which will give her the highest sentence and she was also an accomplice all the way” She was asking about that, sure, but she was worried about something else “What Miss Ji is really worried about is their mental state, Miss Jin has a story of substance abuse and Mister Lee has a diagnose of schizophrenia” Kyung Soo was able to put into words what she was really worried about. Junmyeon was worried about sentences and how many laws they broke, and it was great because he was a lawyer. And Ae Ra was conscious about how much they both hurt her and affected her these last months, but she also knew that it was something beyond their control. So they couldn’t pay for what they did as everybody does. And also, they got Kyung Soo in the middle. That wasn’t going to go unnoticed.  “Miss Ji, I can ask for a number of years
but the prosecution needs a stand on that matters too, I understand your position and I support it, and I can promise you that I will try to help you, helping them” That was all she was asking for “Thanks Mister Kim” He smiled warmly at her and kept informing them about the curse of the case.

After weeks, she stayed by herself at her house for the first time. She missed the company, but she didn’t feel lonely or scared. One time a bird clashed with her kitchen window, and she almost called the police, yes. But after she took a couple of deep breaths, as her therapist recommended, she was back to normal. Therapy was doing wonders. And not only in the matters related to Jin Tae Ri and Lee Joon Young. She now had new weapons to come back to her idol lifestyle. She learned that she didn’t need everyone’s approval, that resting was necessary, that her own image couldn’t be based on how people saw her and that she didn’t own an explanation to anyone regarding her life. Most specifically her private life. She realized that therapy will become a health necessity for her, like the 6 pills of vitamins and supplements she took every day.
Kyung Soo arrived a bit after dinner time “I thought today was Chanyeol’s shift” She commented as he great her at the door, kissing her warm cheeks and giving her a long hug “It was, but we reached a deal” A deal was kind of a big word. He simply told Chanyeol that he was going to Ae Ra’s house, and he only agreed. He grabbed her hand and walked her inside the house into the living room. He sat in the couch and patted the spot beside him. Ae Ra sat as close as she could and passed her arms around his waist resting her head on his shoulder “Did you eat? I cooked some pasta like you taught me” He regretted the bowl of Udon he ate, he wanted to try her food “Don’t worry, I ate with Chanyeol before I came here” He embraced her back, pulling her even closer and kissed the top of her head “Ae Ra, Chanyeol and I had a meeting today with your boss and our boss” “Our bosses, remember we are coworkers” He laughed softly and ruffled her hair “Right, I forgot, well, a lot of things came from that meeting” He prompted her to move so he could look at her when talking about this matter. She released him from her hold but grabbed his hand. He was pleased with the skinship “Tell me, tell me!” She asked eagerly “First, your agency will be hiring the services from our agency permanently for you and your colleagues, which got us two big bonus checks” He was going to be able to afford a new mattress and a better oven “Congratulations!” “Thank you, also, we talk about our contracts” He saw the change on her face. From happy too wary in a second “You are going to have a bodyguard from now on, that will accompany you only in public appearances” “And is not you” She guessed “And is not Chanyeol” She was right again “Is a colleague and friend of us, Jongin” Her expression softened a little bit “If he is your friend, I guess is alright, when is he starting?” “After your trial” Now she was free of tension “You wanna see him, I’m sure I have pictures with him” He fetched his phone from his back pocket and searched for a picture. He found one of Jongin and Chanyeol at the new year party of the agency in full suit. Ae Ra’s eyebrows went up “Is he going to protect me with how beautiful he is? Is he planning of dazzling people?” He laughed at her comment and looked at the picture again. He did look quite dazzling “Don’t look at him too much, you could end up falling in love with him” He joked, bringing up their inside jokes “Impossible” She leaned forward, tilting her head, her eyes focused on his. He knew that look. He liked that look. He grabbed her strongly by her waist, pulling her on his lap. He wrapped Ae Ra’s body with his arms, nosing her neck taking in her wonderful scent. She circled his neck with her arms and caressed his back and head absentmindedly. He felt like taking a nap. Ae Ra always talked about how he was a strength for her. How he brought her peace and calm. But she had no idea how peaceful felt to be in her arms. How healing her warmth was. And it wasn’t that he was particularly stressed, but the world always drove him a bit mad. Too much noise and too many things going around. But being with Ae Ra felt as if she was stopping time, and he had time to breathe.
++++
She met with Mister Kim several times before the trail. He always came in with new information. He confessed that this was the first time he worked almost hand in hand with the prosecution “Next week we will present our evidence, they will say that it was all product of his schizophrenia and her drug abuse, and then we will ask for a sentence that the judge has to approve” “What sentence are you asking for?” “15 years
that’s the minimum” He clarified, but still it sounded like so much “He hasn’t been very collaborative with his lawyer. They could lower if he accepted that he is sick and needs treatment for example, but he isn’t doing it yet
in fact, he keeps repeating that you need to be put on trial” Ae Ra was worried about that. She had to be at the trail. And if he kept acting as he did before when encountering her, the situation wasn’t going to be pretty “What should I say? If I get ask if I am sending secrets messages through my music and all that, what should I say?” Junmyeon gave her a funny look. And when she heard what she just asked, she felt stupid “Ok, I know what I should say, no, of course, but how?” It was an honest question. Did she need to be calm? Or be emphatic? Maybe giggle before answer because it was a stupid question, should she bring proof that she wasn’t a dictator? “If they ask you, just say no, explain what your writing process is, what you write about, actually Joon Young told the police which are the songs with subliminal messages” He pulled a list of ten songs from one of the folders. They were all singles, of course “This is insane, this two are about summer, this one is about partying, this three are about not giving up and the rest are love songs” Junmyeon asked her if she wrote all of them. She did. He recommended her to bring the drafts for the songs, notebooks, etc, so they could have it on hand. Just in case. Their meeting went on for two hours. He had to go to the police station for the last bit of proofs “Miss Ji, we can’t make him go through therapy before the trial, I wish we could,  I will do my best so you both have a fair trial, but you have to remember that justice is here for a reason” “Why are you telling me that?” “Your manager and bodyguard told me that you could be thinking of drop all charges on him” Those bastards, how could they read her so well “Don’t worry Mister Kim, I will not do that, I trust you” He bowed at her smiling, and then left. A couple of minutes before he left, she got a message from him – Sorry, forgot to tell you that the trial is set for next Friday – She had to run to the bathroom for the sudden nausea she got.
+++++
She wasn’t surprised when she arrived at the court and a sea of reporters rushed to her. Chanyeol and Kyung Soo stayed next to her, unwavering. She didn’t answer any question as instructed by Mister Kim and walked inside the building. Head up, as Kyung Soo instructed. She was amazed at how she didn’t fade, even after not eating for almost a day. Her anxiety got the best of her and only water could go down her throat. Any solid thing was immediately rejected. It scared her a little bit. This was worse than on other occasions. She even had a pregnancy test, because of nausea. The idea of having to relive everything that happened in the last months. Every fear, every encounter disgusted her. Mister Kim promised her that she wouldn’t have to talk more than necessary, after all, there were proofs that spoke for themselves. But having to hear everything, as if someone was reading a horror novel to her, wasn’t appealing at all. Chanyeol, Kyung Soo, Mister Min, Sehun, Minseok, Baekhyun were witnesses. Specially Kyung Soo and Chanyeol since they were there at the worst attacks. She sat next to Junmyeon as a couple of journalists allowed at the courtroom arrived. She could recognize two girls from her fan site, a small group of people wearing t-shirts with her name on it and people from her agency. Time passed so slowly. Junmyeon told her that in 10 minutes Lee Joon Young was going to arrive. But those 10 minutes never passed. And then he arrived. And suddenly everything happened very fast. First thing Joon Young does when he arrives is lock eyes with her and grin menacingly. She looked away immediately and found Kyung Soo’s eyes looking at her. He looked peaceful as always. He smiled softly at her, and involuntarily she smiled back. How not to. And he did that for the rest of the trial until it was his turn to give a statement. Lee Joon Young remained quiet the entire time. When Chanyeol and Kyung Soo testified, Mister Kim asked them very specific questions, then the prosecutor did the same and Joon Young stayed quiet the entire time. Smiling sometimes, nodding or talking to himself. Ae Ra avoided his figure. He only looked at whoever was standing in the witness stand. She didn’t quite listen to what they were saying though. It was self-defense. The last one to give his statement was Mister Min. Ae Ra couldn’t avoid listening to him. He spoke seriously, but every word was charged with a fatherly feeling an emotionality. Once he was done, the defense had their turn. It all went as Junmyeon told her. The prosecutor did what he could with what little he had. He didn’t deny any accusation. And when he reached the motive for the attacks, his tone was apologetic. But the whole room reacted. Her agency never published the whole story. They all knew Ae Ra took the hiatus for the attacks, but no one knew who was attacking her, or how. The angriest ones were her fans. The small group that made it to the courtroom complained loudly at the lawyer and Lee Joon Young. She could feel the shade they were sending them. The defense finished and the judge called for a twenty minutes recess and left the room, so he could come back with the verdict. The police took Lee Joon Young to another room and Ae Ra went to sit between Chanyeol and Kyung Soo. He grabbed her hand and hid it under his coat, meanwhile Chanyeol and Baekhyun distracted her with silly comments. Junmyeon looked confident and it was contagious. She was feeling positive all of the sudden. This could end up soon and in the way she hoped. Twenty minutes passed. This time faster, and they all went back to their sits. The judge, a middle-aged man who looked bored started going over the case. Pointing out the facts, how believable the evidence presented was “After considering the evidence showed to me, listen to all the witnesses and considering the mental situation of the accused, besides him not being able to recognize it, I came to the decision that Mister Lee Joon Young will be sentenced to 15 years at psychiatrist facility designated by this court, where he will receive the treatment he needs to overcome his situation, but also serve his sentence for the several times he broke the law. Because even if the history that his mind was making up about Miss Ji and her intentions for the citizens of South Korea was true, killing her was never the answer. As she came to justice to clean this situation, he should have done the same” He hit the table with his hammer, and everybody stood up as he left. Joon Young lost it there. He started shouting that he wasn’t crazy and that she needed to be erased from here. Before he could keep shouting and getting himself another charge, two big bulky officers came and almost lifted him from the floor, taking him out. Hearing Joon Young’s loud voice scared her again, and she was sure the memory of it will keep making her jump in shock. She could hear him shout outside, until the sound was a low hum. No one celebrated. No one clapped. And she was thankful for it. Her fans didn’t try to talk to her out of respect, but she made sure to thank them for being there. She answered a couple of questions from the journalist but cut it short since she was planning on giving a press conference. After everybody left only her friends and boyfriend stayed with her. They didn’t congratulate her nor celebrate. They only hugged her and patted her back. There was nothing to celebrate really, so she was kind of relieved by her friends’ actions. They took their time to go out, although time wasn’t going to help. The journalists outside the court were able to wait for her under heavy rain if it was necessary. They resumed their positions and Chanyeol and Kyung Soo sandwiched her and walked outside, pushing back every daring journalist and photographer that came too close. She jumped inside the van, and went to the back seat, feeling exhausted “Now go straight home, take a bath, eat and then go to bed, we need you strong for tomorrows trial with Jin Tae Ri” Right, it wasn’t over yet, she thought, falling asleep on the back seat.
++++++
After the two trials, she stayed at her parents’ house for a couple of days. Her house was still surrounded by journalists. It was a very emotional visit. She didn’t inform them about all the things that happened to her this past month. She forbid them to go to the trial or google her and they obeyed. That’s why when she told them everything that happened, they broke into tears, especially her dad. She spend some good thirty minutes being hugged by them. Just like that time when she was 10 and broke her arm, they didn’t know what else to do to comfort her, to make the pain go away “But there is no more pain mom and dad” She assured them “And that’s the next thing that I want to talk about with you both
Kyung Soo you can come in now”. When Kyung Soo was driving her to her parent's place, she dropped the bomb “Since we are visiting them and is your shift, I will tell mom and dad that we are dating” He almost crash with the car ahead “Can you wait until we stop working together?” “Why?” “Well
what are they going to think about me? We started dating, we work together and we pretty much live together, that makes me look like a horrible man” She giggled and hold his hand “My mom already knows about us, and she doesn’t care, my dad is going to be busy thanking you for taking care of me and all that, don’t worry they are going to love you, and also, they are modern people, they got married after I was born and my mom is 7 years older than my dad and she was his boss at the company they worked” “I
ok
yeah it’s like us” “It’s not like us, because she was his boss and we are
” “Coworkers, yes, we are coworkers” He interrupted her, sounding exasperated but still smiling. He wasn’t smiling when he came to their living room though. He was dead serious, he was good at that. She gave him a signal to relax, but he ignored her. Kyung Soo sat on the sofa in front of them and remained silent “As mom already knows, so I guess dad you are informed too, Kyung Soo and I are dating” Kyung Soo bowed until his chest almost touched his knees. Ae Ra stood up and sat next to him, she didn’t like how lonely and sorry he looked there by himself “I’m aware of your relationship
I’m glad you brought him, we are going to have a couple of days to know each other better” “I’m sorry we have to meet under this circumstances Kyung Soo” Her mom spoke to him softly, smiling at him “I’m sorry I didn’t come here early ma’am” “Oh, those are silly details, don’t worry” Her dad got up and stood in front of Kyung Soo, signaling him to get up too. He did so with military obedience, and her dad immediately catch him in a hug “My wife told me all the great things about you, I know how much you have done for our daughter, I’m glad I can call you son from now on” She always knew she got her talent with words from her dad. After the crying and after her parents finally left Kyung Soo alone with all their hugs, she was able to get her boyfriend back and go for a walk with him. It was already dark outside and there were very few people on the streets. Kyung Soo bought two coffees and they walked for almost three hours around the neighborhood. She showed him her high school, her old house, the place where she took piano lessons since she was six, the laundromat where she worked for the first time “And last, the next year I was hired by my agency, the owner plays one of my records every day” “Were you a good employee?” “Of course I was
although one time I was careless and a red sock went inside a charge of white clothing
thank god it was my dad’s clothing, he wore pink shirts and t-shirts for months” Kyung Soo broke into a goofy laugh, his apple cheeks glistening in the night lights. It was so nice to see him laughing like that again.  It felt like in the past week everybody around her, including herself, were pained, or pitying and Kyung Soo wasn’t the exception. She knew why, she wasn’t going to blame him. He was always the one giving her calm and reassurance, but he was as human as she was, and he was only worried for her. But know everything was over. Jin Tae Ri and Lee Joon Young were sentenced, and they were going to receive the help they needed. Her agency was taking care of the press and arranging her press conference, and finally her marvelous fans were taking care of all the hate she could get in social media. Now her only worry was to go back to her normal life. She got a text from her mom telling them to go back home for a midnight snack, so they turned around and walked back, holding each other by the waist, sharing some warmth. It was three in the morning when they went to sleep. Her parents went to their room, Kyung Soo got a futon on the living room and she went to her room. She didn’t go to bed immediately though. She waited until her parents were asleep, to snick out of the room to the living room. She found him in bed already, but still awake “Ae Ra, go to sleep” He told her from under the covers “No, I want to cuddle, move” She got under the covers and pushed Kyung Soo to the side until her body was firmly pressed to his. Despite the initial response, he immediately enveloped her in his arms, kissing her nape “What if your parents come in?” “They are already sleeping, nothing can wake them up” He hugged her tighter, so she imagined he had already given up “I like your parents” “They like you” “Thank god, so we are really doing this? Dating?” She turned around in his embrace, curious “What do you mean? We have been dating for almost a month now” “Yes,  but now you introduce me to your parents, so is very official” He was right, kind of “Actually, we haven’t informed my other parents yet, my agency” Kyung Soo cursed under his breath “Look, I will take care of that, but only after Jongin starts working with me” “So this Monday” “That soon! Today is Thursday!” Kyung Soo covered her mouth, but it was too late, with some luck, her parents wouldn’t hear her yelling “If it helps, tomorrow Chanyeol will be with you, but I’m going to take Saturday and Sunday shift” That did help, a lot “And then on Monday Jongin will take over, but since you don’t have a schedule until Friday, Chanyeol and I will guide him through some stuff at your house and agency, so for some days you are going to have three bodyguards” Not bad, she thought “Kyung Soo, I still have to talk with my agency, but for the time being, I prefer us to keep dating in secret, I want to avoid any situation where you could get hurt, some fans can be very rude and hurtful, you don’t deserve going through those things
 at least meanwhile all this fades off” “Whatever you want Ae Ra, I want the best for us, especially for you, I can only follow what you say in this matter, you know best, so whenever you feel ready, open up about us” She felt a burn in his heart, not a bad one. It was just a burst of something. That burst she felt whenever she saw him, but it was stronger when he said those kinds of things. Words of understanding, support, care and love. She planted a chaste kiss on his lips, because what else does one do on those situations. He smiled and she knew she did well. She caressed his cheeks, his cute ears and head “Are you willing to be kept in the shadows? I can’t tell the world about you, I can’t even take you out on dates” As she asked him, her voice broke. He was alarmed for a second, but then smiled at her again, returning her caresses “I don’t like going out that much either” She moved her hands away from his face and hugged him. His lips pressed against her forehead, hers resting on the base of his neck. Kyung Soo whispered different words of love until she fell asleep.
The next morning she was awakened by her mom “Ae Ra, wake up and go to your bed before your dad comes in, poor Kyung Soo would be mortified” She followed her mom’s order, half-awake, half asleep and was able to release herself from Kyung Soo’s grip. She saw Kyung Soo move peacefully on his sleep. It was still 7 in the morning, he still had some minutes of sleep left. As she closed the door of her room, a strange feeling settled in her chest. This peace and this homely feeling they have been sharing all this time were coming to an end. She was on her way to come back to her normal life. To the busy schedules, the airport life, the rumors and the lack of privacy. And despite all the things Kyung Soo told her that night, one could never know how he would actually feel when rumors of her dating another celebrity came out, or when she cancels dates, when she was so physically and emotionally exhausted that she didn’t want to see anyone or when the first possessive fans started attacking him. She trusted that he was brave and that he loved her. But this wasn’t about her. She was terrified of the mere thought of him getting hurt.

Bewitched Part 4 (FINALE)
Ao3
@lenoreofraven
Today’s Musical Number: Breathin by Ariana Grande
Bonus Number: True by Marina (formely Marina and the Diamonds) (this song isn’t an official number, but I would recommend it anyway.)
"You remind me of a time when things weren't so complicated. All I need is to see your face." - Breathin, Ariana Grande
The only time she pushes herself to the point of complete physical exhaustion is when she’s trying to get a scoop for the Ladyblog. And in the year or so she’s been running the blog, Alya has managed to score amazing scoops aplenty. Sure, she threw herself in physical peril from time to time, probably more than she should have. And if Nora were to ever know just how much, she would never let her leave the house. But she always took comfort in the fact that all of her hard work paid off and cultivated in a successful but factual blog about her city’s hero.
As if that wasn’t enough, Alya also managed to juggle her blog with an acceptably active social life. Her boyfriend was not only an incredibly talented DJ (in her incredibly bias view), but also the superhero Carapace. While she didn’t care for fashion or celebrity life, she did think it was pretty cool to be friendly with well-known model Adrien Agreste, son of a famous fashion designer. And then there was Marinette, her clumsy, overworked friend who was head over heels for Adrien. But despite her failings, Marinette always meant through and could always be relied on to come through in the end.
Life was laid out to be perfect for the budding journalist.
In the past couple of weeks, Alya completely blew it.
Somehow, during that time, Alya managed to get on Marinette’s bad side, leaving her cursed and almost all alone at the school.
The key word was almost. Anyone left in the building all shared the same red mark on the forehead as her. Everyone else had been familiarized and followed Marinette out to retrieve the miraculouses. In her state, she wanted to leave the building, find Ladybug and get her own miraculous to save her friend, but she had no idea where to even begin looking. The curse also made things more difficult, with the only relief she could take was knowing that it didn’t affect her thoughts. It was only when she spoke or attempted to make an important decision that it came into play.
So, that left her in the classroom, with only a couple of people to keep her company. Lila, still forced into telling the truth, and almost constantly choking over her words. Max, who caused electronics to explode any time he went near them, with Kim practically wailed at the sight of his 3DS short-circuiting. Speaking of whom, the athlete was cursed to move at the pace of a snail. Poor Rose was sobbing in the corner, about
 well,  who knew at this point. She would cry at the drop of a dime.
The other corners were preoccupied by Mylene and Ivan, in what had to be the saddest case of being cursed. They were no longer acting the lovey-dovey couple they were well-known for being. Any time they tried to talk to each other, they would fall into constant arguing, and had to be kept apart because of how much it upset Rose. To be fair, Alya had to bite back some of her own tears upon hearing them say how much they detested each other.
There were a few attempts she made at starting conversation, or doing something proactive. “The akuma must be in her phone. Or maybe a present she got from Adrien?” “This wouldn’t have happened if she just agreed to date Adrien.” “The reason for her akumatization must be jealousy.”
Not only did she get hard glares from almost everyone left in the class, but she could occasionally feel the curse mark burn and sting. After a while, she had to keep her theorizing to herself.
She began by going back in time to when Lila first returned back to school. Or maybe even before that, when she first came. When everyone was hyping her up as this cool rich girl that had all sorts of celebrities on speed dial, including Ladybug. Marinette had been the only one that didn’t seem to like her, but Alya knew that it was just her jealousy of Adrien that created that tension. Even after her akumatization and brief withdrawal from school though, Marinette didn’t let up on the girl. Just how jealous could she be?
Her forehead stung yet again, and she winced. It subsided a bit, but there was a still a warm glow as she meditated on the events of Hero’s Day. Replaying the scene in her head, she thought about Marinette’s insistent fact-checking of Lila’s stories. Alya didn’t think much of it at the time. She was rich and the daughter of a diplomat, why would she lie about those sort of things?
But then again, Chloe was rich and the daughter of the mayor, and Alya knew she lied from time to time. Just because Lila was nicer than Chloe, didn’t mean she was incapable of lying.
She bit her lip.
The curse mark emitted a gentle, warm glow, as if to indicate she was onto something. Lila lying and being allowed to get away with it
 yeah, Marinette would be upset about that. She hates liars. But
 is that enough to get her akumatized? Lila would have been lying for weeks at this point

She refocused her attention to the way things panned out with Adrien. Surely, Marinette had to be upset because she waited too long after he confessed, and he ended up dating Lila, right?
The harsh warmth returned. She clutched her forehead.
But that’s impossible! If she doesn’t like Lila, and she loves Adrien
 what could be the issue then?
Alya knew Marinette was utterly crushed when Adrien rejected her, especially since she hadn’t meant to confess her feelings; he only overheard her and Lila in a fierce conversation, and had to pull her aside to turn her down. So when he did come around (as Alya predicted), she was confused as to why Marinette would say no. And when she finally did get an explanation, Marinette was pretty vague about some of the details. She simply said, “There’s been a misunderstanding. Things aren’t so simple between us right now. I’m sorry, but I can’t really talk about it.”
She raised an eyebrow at this. “You’re just running away, aren’t you?”
Alya didn’t give up on it though. She didn’t want to employ the tactic, but she might have slipped an idea to Adrien about making her jealous. He was all too eager to go along with it, but not so eager to fake date Lila. Still, he did it to try and get Marinette to come back around. It might have worked too, if it wasn’t timed so close to when Marinette left for China with her family.
The mark began to sizzle and she cringed, pressing her palm against it.
Maybe Marinette wasn’t jealous of Lila, just upset with Adrien?
The sizzling ceased.
The stunt with Lila must have upset her because she knew what Adrien was doing. She told Alya she just wanted some space to figure things out for herself. And when Adrien didn’t listen, she didn’t take it too well.
Now that she thought about it, Alya was doing the same thing to her too, wasn’t she?
She clutched her head in her hands. I really messed up, didn’t I?
With sudden clarity, Alya raced out of the classroom and into the streets, in search of Marinette.
She’s not going to mess up this time.
--
Felix’s transformation is dramatically different in terms of style. Gone is his vest and white button up and slacks. His new outfit looks more leathery and...
He sort of looks like Chat Noir. He even looks at Marinette with the same love befitting of the cat hero, but she isn’t afraid to share the look back at him. There’s a fondness that she no longer holds for Adrien.
Luka wasn’t sure that he wanted to be there to see that, but if Adrien were to show up and see all of this, he would want to be far outside of the city. Or at least transformed, but he couldn’t risk letting Marinette know he had the snake kwami. He needed an escape, but how?
“So impatient,” Marinette clucks her tongue, lowering herself down in front of the newly familiarized Felix, stroking his chin, “You were next in line, Chaton. Were you jealous? There’s no reason to be. I have love for you, Luka and Kagami. I want you to know that you are so dear to me, and for your kind words, I will place my trust in you.”
Smiles were rare for Felix, and seeing one might have brought a smile to Luka’s face. Instead, watching him smile and lean his cheek into Marinette’s touch reminded him of a plucked guitar string - a piece missing from making a complete range of sound.
Her gentle gaze turns away from Felix and back toward Luka. “It seemed I missed last time, but I won’t be this time.”
Just as she fires up the pink energy in her hand, Queen Bee, Chat Noir and Ryukƍun land in front of them, prepared for attack. Her face hardens at the sight of the cat hero.
“M’lady, I’m here to save the day and make things right,” Chat Noir declares, “This time, I’ll show you that I’m the purr-fect guy for you!”
The two girls look to each other and groan, and Luka can’t help but be sick. He’s heard bad lyrics in his life, but nothing will ever top that. Marinette is the only one to look slightly inconvenienced by the whole ordeal.
“I only need one thing from you Chat Noir,” she declares coolly, “And I think we all know by now what that is,” she turns to the familiarized Felix, “Chaton, do me a favor and retrieve that imposter cat’s ring.”
Before Luka can react or really take in the scene, he feels a string wrap around him and pull him away from the fray. Somewhere, behind a building, Ryukƍun regards him with a heavy look.
“I’d take the opportunity to transform if I were you,” she points out, “We’re going to need all the help we can get.”
“I’d rather not fight but
” Sass pops out of his pocket and gives him a gentle nod. “Give me just a sec. I’ll join you in a bit.”
--
She returned to the battle, just in time to witness Queen Bee get knocked into Chat Noir. Unfortunately, Venom was activated and it grazes Chat, leaving him immobile. She tries to rush over and help out, but Felix cuts her off, taking off the ring and undoing Adrien’s transformation.
Marinette smirks, petting her familiar. “Very good, Chaton. This creep will no longer be bothering us.”
Chloe’s transformation is about to wear off, and Kagami realizes the urgency of needing to get her out of the area. She has no doubt that Hawkmoth would be interested in obtaining more miraculouses for the sake of whatever plans he has in mind. And with the cat miraculous now in Felix’s hand, things are going to get messier.
She curses herself for thinking such a thing at the sight of Alya Cesaire running up to the group, clearly out of breath. Interestingly, the curse mark on her forehead is faint now, turning into more of a light pink color.
This catches Marinette’s attention.
“It seems you’ve come to realize your mistake, Alya,” she says, crossing her arms over her chest, “And would you care to explain what that is?”
The Ladyblogger is bent over, her hands on her knees as she’s trying to regain breath. Looking up to regard her friend, Alya says, “I’m sorry
 I should have listened to you. I just thought I was doing what was best for you. But I realize
 it was just about my own ego and what I wanted. I should have been a better friend.”
The symbol changes shape and is now a clearly more defined pink. At the sight of this, Marinette smirks.
“Very good. You shall be spared.”
A pink beam is fired in Alya’s direction. Content with the transformation, the newly made familiar takes a stance next to Felix.
They’re almost down two miraculous users already, and Marinette has an army of who knows how many familiars by this point. And now, she’s glaring down Adrien with the most wicked glare of the entire day.
She zaps him with a red beam. “Adrien Agreste. You invaded my privacy, my space, and ruined my happiness. And so, you shall be cursed so that no matter how long you chase, no matter how close you get, you will never be able to get me. Every time you try, you’ll only manage to set yourself back.”
Before Adrien can object, he poofs into thin air. And to make matters worse, Chloe’s transformation is entirely undone, leaving her defenseless.
“Hey, what happened to Adrien?” Chloe demands.
“Nothing nefarious, I assure you,” Marinette sighs, looking rather bored with the exchange, “Despite what he’s done to me, I wouldn’t go that far. No, he’s somewhere in this city, far away enough from me. He won’t be hurting me again.”
Part of her feels unsympathetic toward the blonde. He pushed and pushed Marinette, and now he was finally getting what he deserved. She could understand Marinette’s motivations and actions in a way.
But the rational part of her knows that she can’t just leave Adrien all alone. Someone has to keep tabs on him, especially if he decides to do something rash.
“Get out of here,” Kagami says, catching Chloe with the yo-yo and spinning her off in another direction, “And go and find Adrien!”
The blonde huffs at the request, but wastes no time getting out of the area. That just leaves her with Marinette.
What is taking Luka so long? All he needs to do is transform and get out here!
All of the ire and spite that plagued her dissipates. She only regards Kagami with a chilling warmth. Kagami wraps her fingers  around the yo-yo, prepared for anything Marinette has to throw at them.
“There’s no need for that,” Marinette insists, “I’m not going to hurt you. And with Adrien out of the way, our nightmares are quelled.”
“Are you nightmares really quelled, Marinette?” Kagami asks, “You might think that because you cursed him and anyone else that hurt you. But that hurt in your heart? Everything you went through? Can you just forget about that?”
“Why would you say something like that? None of that stuff matters now.”
“That’s not true,” someone interrupts.
The newly created snake hero leaps over to them, his lyre out and at the ready. There’s a moment of silence as he and Marinette pass a look. Kagami can’t decide if she’s relieved that he’s finally on the scene or more on edge thinking about what’s about to happen.
“What are you doing?” she asks, regarding him with a frown. “I hope you don’t plan on fighting me.”
“I know I can’t fight you,” he answers quietly, “But I do wish to help you. Just listen,” he says, strumming the strings of the lyre, “And tell me what you hear.”
She frowns, preparing to fire at him. A flash of purple over eyes seems to be persuading her to do it, but she hesitates.
“Please,” he asks quietly, “If it hurts too much, you can do whatever you want to me in retaliation.”
Kagami is about to ask him if he’s out of his mind, but when she glances over to him, she sees that his expression remains firm and serious. She didn’t think an akuma attack like this would get her to see such different sides of him.
Marinette must have been thinking the same thing, because she lowers her hand, and the color in her hands fades out.
“Fine,” Marinette huffs, “I suppose I can grant that request.”
Gently, his fingers graze against the strings of the harp. His eyes are closed and he’s deep in though, and yet he doesn’t look the least bit worried. Almost as if there’s mutual assurance that she’s not going to do anything to her.
Kagami can only watch as Luka plays the harp, and Marinette starts singing along. At first, she feels like a bit of an intruder, a third party that wasn’t meant to hear this song. But then she remembers Felix, whose expression starts to soften, and his body relax. Kagami can’t help but place a hand over her heart as she allows the music to soothe her senses.
When she looks up at the witch akuma, she can see that tears have started to dot her eyes, until she’s finally crying and her hands cover the rest of her face up.
“What have I done?” she sobs.
“It’s okay,” Luka insists, “We can fix this.”
Kagami dares to take a step closer to her. “Marinette, please, let us have the akuma.”
It takes her a moment to agree to it, as the flash of purple returns to argue against it, but Kagami thinks she hears a yes. Underneath the collar of the shirt, she unties a ribbon as she lowers herself to the ground. With a single tug, the akuma is out and about, and Kagami wastes no time cleansing it and casting the miraculous healing.
Marinette is still crying as her form falls. Nudging to a now free Felix to watch over her for a moment, Kagami and Luka make a quick escape in the chaos to allow their transformations to fall. She takes the earrings out before making her way back to Marinette, who is sobbing in Felix’s arms.
“I’m sorry,” she says in between breaths.
“It’s okay. You’re okay. Now, let’s get you home.”
---
She stares at the ceiling of her bedroom for hours.
After the akumatization wore off, Marinette’s memory of events was a bit fuzzy. She remembers Felix, Kagami and Luka comforting her. Then nothing. Then having her parents’ arms wrapped around her. And then somehow being in her bedroom, the lights dimmed,
She couldn’t sleep. She needed to, so badly. But sleep would not overtake her.
Turning herself over to look over the bottom part of the room, her fingers curl over the edges of her diary.
So many words and thoughts in her mind. But none of them will easily translate to the page. And so she sinks deeper into the angry, bitter thoughts that overtook her. She isn’t going to catch a single wink of sleep that night, even as she tries to will herself into deep slumber.
All she can think about is how school is going to suck tomorrow.
Her phone, which had been charging on the shelf above her bed, flashes with some new messages on screen.
Luka: Just wanted to check and see if you were alright. If you’re up for it, would you like to hang out tomorrow?
Kagami: I hope you’re doing a bit better. Remember, you can always talk to me if something is bothering you. It will get better, and there are plenty of other people willing to talk with you, if you wish.
Felix: Please take care of yourself. I’m here to help with whatever you need.
She lets out a deep breath. Alya might be more of a wild card in this scenario, but she at least had backup. Tomorrow was still going to suck.
But she wasn’t facing tomorrow, or Adrien, alone anymore.

_______________________
Once the lecture was over and you packed your stuff, you made a beeline towards Jongdae. “You. Come with me. Now.” You hissed at him before walking out of the hall and to one of the hallways of which you knew that not many people would be present at. Jongdae followed you, a lazy grin hanging on his lips.
“If you’re taking me to somewhere secluded to have some fun, I wouldn’t recommend us staying at this university.” He said, the smug tone dripping from his words. You sharply turned around, glaring intently at him as you halted in your tracks.
“I don’t need your fuckery right now. What on earth are you doing at my university? I swear if you’re after me again—” But Jongdae merely shrugged, shoving both his hands in the pockets of his dress pants. He was a genuinely good looking man, but his good looks didn’t make up for the fact that he was about to stick a knife in your stomach about a week ago.
“You’re insane. Why are you after my life? Trying to kill me again? I’m calling the police.” You took out your phone, ready to dial the needed number, but Jongdae snatched the device from your hands and stuck it into his pocket.
“You call the police, and I’ll make sure you die a gruesome death.” He hissed, eyes slightly narrowed at you before he moved to lean with his back against the wall. “I’m not here for you.”
“Then why are you here, huh? A week ago you wanted me dead, so what changed your mind?” You retorted, arms crossing firmly over your chest.
Jongdae’s lips curled into a smile before he let his gaze fall on you. “Let’s say that taking your life isn’t as high on my to do list anymore. So don’t worry about it, doll. I’m here to enjoy a bit of the uni life. You’re safe.” He walked over to you, and you frowned, stepping backwards as he neared you more and more.
He eventually had you backed up against the wall, his hand right by your head until he reached into his pocket to take out your phone, placing it into your hand and making sure both your hands made contact. His lips were then by your ear. “For now. So I recommend you don’t test my patience?” 
You were about to reply, until you heard a voice from the end of the hallway. “Get away from her, Jongdae.” 
It was Baekhyun.
Jongdae then slowly backed away from you, raising his hands in the air, his grin however still present. “Hello to you too, Byun.”
You frowned. Jongdae knew Baekhyun’s name?
“Shut it. It’s a bit low of you to take her somewhere secluded. What were you planning, huh?” Baekhyun walked further down the hallway, nearing the two of you.
“In my defense, she was the one that brought me here. She needed to talk to me, and I followed.” Jongdae’s hands lowered, as his gaze was now fixated upon Baekhyun.
“Wait— Do you know each other?” You asked, the frown etching deeper into your forehead.
“I don’t know? Do we, Baekhyun?” Jongdae asked, sounding rather amused. Baekhyun, who was now standing by you, simply rolled his eyes before turning to you. “Y/N. Go ahead to the lunchroom. I’ll be right behind you.” 
“But—” You started, but Baekhyun cut you off. “Please? I promise that I will explain.” When his eyes locked with yours, you forgot for that moment that you were mad at him. You forgot that they seemed to be familiar with each other. You forgot that Baekhyun was once again dodging whichever question of yours. 
You simply nodded before walking off, fingers threading through your hair as you let out a sigh. So much for being mad at him, huh?
Baekhyun then sharply turned to face Jongdae, eyebrows furrowed together. “What on earth are you doing here?!” He exclaimed, to which Jongdae simply shrugged before breaking out in a smile. 
“I’m just here to enjoy the uni life. Don’t worry, I won’t be going after her. For now. My orders didn’t involve any violence.” Jongdae replied, the smile still present before he stepped closer to Baekhyun.
“If I were you, I’d go back to Minseok. He believes you’re slacking in your— well everything. Go ask if he has a side job ready. Trust me. Because right now, you’re rubbing him up the wrong way.” He gave Baekhyun a pat on the shoulder before he walked past him. Yet before he turned the corner, he stopped and turned to face Baekhyun once again.
“Oh, I recommend finishing the job before tomorrow evening. I decided to host a party myself. She turns twenty one tomorrow, doesn’t she? You wouldn’t want to miss her birthday party, would you?” Baekhyun felt a frown etch into his forehead. 
“Wait— Why are you throwing her a party? And why are you helping me? Aren’t you on Minseok’s side?” Baekhyun said, now walking to the end of the hallway where Jongdae stood.
“I am. But I am also your friend. Somewhat. I don’t quite want you dead. Now go to him. I’ll tell your girlfriend that you had something important to do.” Jongdae shot Baekhyun a wink, to which he ended up punching Jongdae’s arm. “She’s not my girlfriend. And don’t you dare mess anything up.” 
Jongdae simply laughed as he walked away from the male, making his way to the lunchroom. Once he stepped inside, it didn’t take him too long to spot you sitting with your friends at a table. His tongue darted out to wet his lips as he made his way to your table before dropping down in the seat in front of you.
“What the hell? What are you doing here? And where’s Baekhyun.” You asked, dropping your fork down and glaring at the male before you.
Jongdae reached out to take one of your fries before placing it between his teeth and shrugging. “He got a call. He had some very important business to attend to. He told me to tell you that he was sorry, and that he might be back tomorrow.” 
Both your eyebrows rose up, and you were about to ask further, but that was until Yejin spoke up. “Aren’t you the one with manners. Not even asking who the rest of us are?” She was sitting next to Jongdae, and turned around to face him fully.
Jongdae’s lips curled into a cheeky grin. “And who might you be, beautiful?” He swallowed the food before he turned to face her as well. 
You could hear Jongin gag next to you.
“Lee Yejin. Keep it on Yejin. And you’re quite the man yourself.” She replied, mimicking the grin that was currently hanging from Jongdae’s lips. Chanyeol, who was also next to Jongdae, rolled his eyes before tapping him on the shoulder.
“Hey, casanova, I’m Chanyeol.” Jongdae turned to face Chanyeol before raising an eyebrow. “Nice to meet you.” He said with a smile.
“I’m Jongin.” Jongin gave Jongdae a small nod before he continued to eat his lunch. 
You however, fidgeted slightly in your seat. They didn’t know yet who he was. You told them that you got attacked that day, but they didn’t know that it was that very man sitting between Yejin and Chanyeol. You were torn if you should tell them or not.
On one hand, Jongdae did say that he wasn’t after you anymore. He might’ve joined because he was bored or whatsoever. So, he couldn’t mean too much trouble, right?
On the other hand, he did try to kill you last time, and you were worried that he at some point might try again, or go after your friends.
“Hey, Y/N, are you with us?” Jongdae snapped his fingers in front of your eyes, and you blinked, shaking your head before looking at all your friends.
“Are you okay?” Jongin asked, and you nodded slowly. “Yeah, sorry. Zoned out for a little. What were you guys saying?”
“I was saying that you four are invited to the party I’m throwing tomorrow. In honor of you.” Jongdae pointed his index finger at you, and you rose both your eyebrows. “What?”
“I heard you’re turning twenty one tomorrow. And I heard that Baekhyun has quite the reputation here. The handsome new student that threw an amazing party? I’d like to one up him on that one. So, I’m throwing a party tomorrow.” He leaned back in his seat, a content grin stretching over his lips.
“That’s a great idea! Handsome and filled with good ideas. Bonus points for Jongdae.” Yejin said, clapping her hands together.
You let out a soft sigh. “Is Baekhyun going to be there tomorrow?” A part of you hoped he would be there, since it was your birthday either way. However, you didn’t know how you’d act since you were still a bit mad.
“Does it matter? There’s enough guys out there. Find yourself someone better than him!” Yejin pointed her fork at you, and you couldn’t help it but let out a light chuckle.
“Fine, fine. Why not. It’s my birthday anyways tomorrow.” You gave in with a smile. Jongin wrapped his arm around your shoulder before raising his fist in the air.
“Let’s get smashed everyone!” He exclaimed, to which Chanyeol agreed, raising his cup of water up in the air as well.
Your friends seemed to be happy like this. Maybe it was for the better that you didn’t tell them who Jongdae really was.
_______________
Baekhyun let out a sigh as he stepped out of his Audi which he parked in front of the ballroom. He couldn’t believe it that Minseok actually sent him out on a job. An undercover one, even.
He felt his phone ring in his pocket, and he took it out, leaning with his back against his car. “What do you need, Jongdae?”
“Just calling to check that Minseok actually sent you on a mission rather than a kamikaze case. Are you sure he gave you a job?” 
“Yes, positive. I need to go undercover. There is a ball organised by the CEO of the biggest company of South Korea. There are multiple people here, my target included.”
“Right. Sounds legit. Who’s your target?” Baekhyun heard something crash on the other end, yet he decided not to ask, simply continuing his explanation.
“The CEO’s brother. His name is Kim Junwoo. He’s apparently making plans to overthrow the current CEO, so I got the order to wipe him out.” Baekhyun fixed one of the cuffs of his tuxedo before his eyes fell on a couple that just entered the building.
“Sounds juicy. Have some fun whilst you’re at it. It’s been a while since you were sent out into the field. Oh, and do hurry up a bit. The party’s soon. Wouldn’t want to disappoint our lovely Y/N, now would we?” Baekhyun could hear Jongdae’s smile through his words, and he rolled his eyes.
“Shut it. I have to go. They just entered.” Baekhyun then hung up, shoving his phone in his pocket before standing up straight and walking towards the entrance. His fingers moved up to thread in his freshly dyed jet black hair. He felt like it was time for a change.
“Name?” There were two bodyguards that stood by the entrance. He was, however, well aware that they were going to present. The same went for the three bodyguards that were inside the building.
“Kim Youngmin.” Baekhyun said with a polite smile. The bodyguard checked his list before nodding and stepping aside, granting Baekhyun entrance.
His eyes darted around the massive ballroom. There was an orchestra that graced the area with a beautiful melody. There were also a lot of people dressed in gowns and tuxedos. They must be CEO’s or representatives of other companies in the country.
His eyes then fell on his target, and his wife. He knew exactly how he would execute his plan. He’d charm his wife and once he caught both her, and her husband’s attention, he’ll lure her away. He knows that the brother is quite the protective one, so he’d follow. From then on it’s a simple shoot and go.
About two hours later, the majority of the crowd were drunk on either the melody of the orchestra, or the expensive liquor that the bartenders served. They didn’t even notice his existence. Either way, he could see the wife sitting by the bar, alone, a glass of champagne in her hands.
Time to shoot.
Baekhyun easily slid into the chair next to her, ordering a glass of wine before he turned to face her. “Good evening. What must such a beautiful lady do here all alone by the bar?” 
She turned to face him, a sad smile tugging at her lips. “As you can see, the bar is the only thing entertaining this lady this evening.” She lifted the glass up to her lips, downing the rest of it before ordering another glass. 
She seemed to already have hit the tipsy level. That made this job ten times easier.
“How come? Isn’t your husband over there your company for tonight?” His slender fingers curled around his glass of wine, bringing it up to his lips as well, yet making sure his eyes never left the woman.
“That’s only for the people’s eyes. He doesn’t quite give me the attention I want.” A light sigh left her as she reached out for her glass again. Baekhyun, however, reached out before she could, placing his hand on hers and pulling it gently from the glass.
“More of that and you’ll end up drunk.” He said, giving her a warm smile. “Maybe I am aiming for that. That might make this night more eventful for me.” She replied.
Baekhyun then lowered his voice, leaning closer to her until their faces were inches apart. “Let me take the opportunity to make this night more eventful?” He could see her slightly widened eyes search his before she shook her head.
“You are quite handsome. What makes you think you could make me enjoy the night?” He could see her hand move away from his as she slowly dropped it to his knee.
Normally, he wouldn’t mind touches like those. They were part of his job. He had enough women that would get touchy with him. However, he felt odd this time. He tried his hardest to push that feeling away. He was on a job now.
“It wouldn’t be as fun if I tell you just like that, wouldn’t I?” He spoke in a sultry voice, tilting his head slightly to the side. He knew that that was an attractive gesture of his. It charmed countless of women before, and he could see that it had an effect right now since her cheeks were now a rosy pink.
Baekhyun could feel a pair of eyes burn in his side. He got Junwoo’s attention. Onto part two of the plan.
He leaned even closer to the wife, his lips by her ear. “Come with me.” His fingers moved to tuck a few strands of her hair behind her ear before he got up and motioned for her to follow him. 
As he was walking down the hallway, with her hot on his heels, he felt that feeling of earlier in the pit of his stomach again. Worse than before. But he had to push it back once again.
Soon, the two of them were on the balcony. The music from the ballroom was drowned out and replaced by the sound of the night. The warm wind kissed their skin as they stood there, bodies almost pressed together.
“Tell me, mysterious man. What is your plan?” She reached out to rest her hands on Baekhyun’s waist, and he had to take a deep breath before he spoke up, still in that same sultry tone as before.
“I’ll show you the true meaning of euphoria, love.” A grin tugged at his lips as he stepped closer to her, eyes locked with hers.
He felt her hands slide up his sides before they lightly grabbed onto his collar. Yet that gesture reminded him of something else. It reminded him of a kiss. A specific kiss. When Y/N kissed him.
The feeling was back again, and he could finally pinpoint what it was.
Guilt.
“Don’t tell me you’re backing away now? What are you waiting for?” She said, letting go of Baekhyun’s collar as her eyebrows furrowed.
At that moment, Junwoo stormed onto the balcony. “Subin! What on earth are you doing here!” He yelled.
Baekhyun then took a step back from her before flashing her a smile. “I was waiting for this.” He then turned towards Junwoo, his fingers tugging his pants up and grabbing the gun he kept there.
“Greetings from Minwoo.” Baekhyun then pointed the gun at Junwoo’s head before firing it. Junwoo’s body then fell to the concrete, a gaping hole in his forehead.
Subin was about to emit a scream before Baekhyun stepped closer to her, his hand covering her mouth. “It was lovely. But I’m sorry for staining your dress.” He then pressed the gun against her chest, before pulling the trigger. A bit of her blood managed to get onto the white blouse he wore under the blazer, causing him to curse under his breath.
His eyes fell onto the two lifeless bodies before they fell on Subin. He’d be lying if he said he didn’t feel a bit bad. “I’m sorry, love. You’re just collateral damage.” He murmured before he quickly shoved the gun back in his holster.
He had to get away before the bodyguards came to the sound of two gunshots. His eyes then looked over the edge of the balcony. It wasn’t too high of a jump. He had to take it. So without hesitation, he grabbed the railing before flinging himself over it, and landing on his feet.
Baekhyun then dashed back to his car before anyone could manage to catch his escaping presence, and before he knew it, he sped off. 
His eyes fell onto the slight stain on his blouse, and he let out a heavy sigh. Yet before he could think about changing, he caught a glimpse of the clock. He was an hour late to the party.
“Fuck!” He yelled before pressing his foot further onto the pedal and speeding even more towards Jongdae’s place.
_______________
“I can’t believe that I waited for him! He’s an hour late! Fuck him!” You slurred, downing another shot of tequila before running a frustrated hand through your hair. You were already borderline drunk, and it’s been only an hour.
“I told you that you should find yourself another guy!” Yejin retorted, taking a gulp from her beer before grabbing you by the shoulders. “Look around, Y/N! You look smoking hot, and this party is wild and filled with enough people for you to choose from! So have some fun!” 
You felt your lips fall into a pout before shrugging and pouring yourself another shot. She was right, though. You were wearing a pair of white shorts and a crop top on top. Your hair fell in loose curls over your shoulders and you wore heavier make up than normal. But today was a free pass to all that.
“And I just spotted our hot new student. See you!” Yejin gave your shoulder a pat before she walked towards Jongdae. You could see the two chat each other up, Yejin occasionally touching Jongdae’s arm, or him shooting her a wink. It caused you to let out a groan.
“Someone’s not too happy on their birthday.” A voice spoke up from next to you. You turned around, a smile on your lips, yet it quickly fell when you saw that it wasn’t Baekhyun, but the guy from the gym. Sehun, if you remembered correctly.
“I expected someone. But he didn’t show up.” You muttered under your breath. “That’s a dick move. But hey, I can keep you company.” 
You were about to decline his offer, but that was until your eyes fell on familiar figure. It was Baekhyun. And he looked hotter than ever. His hair, rather than the chestnut brown, was now a pitch black colour. He was wearing a white blouse, a pair of dark jeans and sneakers. You felt your breath catch in your throat. 
You were about to walk towards him, but then you saw two guys grab him and drag him to the table filled with liquor. Those two guys, you figured, were his friends Kyungsoo and Yixing. You’ve seen them before, at the party Baekhyun held.
“So, still want me as company?” Sehun cleared his throat, head slightly cocked to the side. You turned to him, before narrowing your eyes slightly as they glanced in Baekhyun’s direction before falling back on Sehun. “Actually. Yes.” 
Another hour later, you were on the dance floor with Sehun. Baekhyun has noticed you by now, but he was leaning against the wall, the plastic cup by his lips as he watched you intently. You however didn’t care at that moment.
The alcohol was pulsating through your system as the bass thrummed through your skull, and all you could think about was dancing until you dropped. You were dancing closely to Sehun, and you decided to place your hands on his shoulders, pulling him against your body. 
“Easy now.” Sehun said with a light laugh, his hands falling on your hips as the two of you continued to dance. Your eyes then fell on Baekhyun and you could see him crush the red cup before walking over towards you both.
He tapped Sehun on the shoulder before pushing him slightly to the side. “I’ll take it from here.” Sehun was about to step in once again, but Baekhyun shot him a glare, and he simply rolled his eyes and walked away.
“Really, Baekhyun? I was having fun!” You yelled over the loud music, arms crossing over one another. 
“Have fun with me!” He replied. You could smell that he consumed quite some liquor himself. He smelled like cherry vodka, with a hint of roses. His hands fell on your hips, and you rolled your eyes before dancing along with him.
“So much for me being mad at you.” You said and he let out a light laugh. “We can forget about that and move on? Happy birthday?” He responded, and you shook your head, hands falling on his shoulders.
“You’re lucky that I like you!” You gave him a wide smile before stepping closer to him, pressing your body against his. The two of you were lost in the rhythm, and you felt his warmth radiate around you. It made you dizzy.
Baekhyun then spun you around before pulling your back against his chest, pressing himself against you as his arms snuck around your waist, his lips by your ear. “You’re lucky that I like you too.” He whispered.
His words made your heart speed up. You could feel his hips press more against you, and it caused your lips to part as you let out a gasp. Yet you then frowned, turning around to face him again. “I don’t get you, Baekhyun! First you give me signs that you like me too, then you tell me that we can’t move on, and now you tell me you like me? What is it that you want!” 
“You!” He replied. But he then quickly shook his head. “But I can’t betray them— But I also want you! You drive me insane, Y/N!” 
“Baekhyun, you don’t make any sense! What do you want?!” You stopped dancing, eyes focused on him as you watched him stop as well.
“I— I don’t know what I want! Or what to say. Or what to choose.” He said, and you narrowed your eyes at him. Yet his hands then fell on your hips once again, pulling you closer to him.
“All I know, is that right now, I’m crazy for you. All I know, is that right now, I want to rip your clothes off, throw you in one of these rooms and kiss every inch of your body, with people wandering in the hallways and wondering what is going on in one of those rooms.” 
You felt your breath catch in your throat, your eyes darting over his entire face before they fell on his lips. You could feel his eyes on your lips as well, and before you knew it, your lips were molded together. The kiss started off slightly hesitant, but soon, your hands were tangled in his hair, his fingers pressing in your hips as you feverishly kissed. 
You were lost in the feeling of his lips against yours, feeling your stomach flip and your cheeks burn in an angry crimson. You were drunk off of his lips, but you didn’t mind the feeling.
He was first to pull away, chest heaving up and down before his eyes darted around the place. “Let’s get out of here.” And you quickly nodded before you let him drag you out of the room, and out of the house.
The last thing you saw before you left the house was Yejin pressing Jongdae against the wall, their lips also connected in a deep kiss.
_______________
Baekhyun and you stumbled into Baekhyun’s house, your hands touching each other wherever they could as your lips remained connected. Baekhyun pushed you against the wall in his hallway, his lips pulling away from yours before connecting with your neck.
Your eyes fluttered shut as your fingers were tangled in his hair, guiding his head as he left a trail of kisses down the column of your throat and to your collarbone. You then pulled him up to connect his lips with yours again in a breathless kiss as the two of you managed to make your way into his bedroom.
Once inside, you threw Baekhyun down on his bed before climbing onto him and straddling his lap, your fingers working their way on his blouse. Baekhyun then moved to sit up so that you were positioned in his lap. His fingers helped yours as you unbuttoned his blouse. Though, your eyes then fell on a faded red stain on his chest. 
“What’s that?” You asked, raising an eyebrow. Yet Baekhyun shut you up with his lips, pulling you into a deep kiss again. “Less talking, more kissing.” He mumbled against your lips, to which you obliged, kissing him back before ridding him off his blouse. 
Your hands roamed all over his bare chest and abdomen, letting out a hum at the feeling of toned muscle under your touch. Baekhyun then flipped the two of you over, lowering you onto the sheets as he hovered over you. 
“You’re so beautiful.” He muttered under his breath, and you reached out to touch his cheek lightly, a smile tugging at your lips before you pulled him down for another kiss. This one, however, was less lust filled. You could feel Baekhyun’s tenderness through this kiss, and you wanted him to feel yours. 
The two of you smiled when you pulled away, eyes locking as Baekhyun fumbled with the button of your shorts, whilst your fingers were busying themselves with undoing his pants.
“You look twice as attractive with black hair. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I first saw you today.” You whispered, and Baekhyun looked at you before shooting you a wink. “This is my natural hair colour. I redyed it to my natural colour.” 
“Keep it.” You said breathlessly as his lips once again latched onto your neck. “Only for you.” He replied.
Soon, both of you were ridden of all your clothing, with nothing but air between you. Your lips molded over and over again into kisses filled with desire, his fingers touching every inch of your body and setting it on fire.
And then, when the two of you connected as one, that’s when you felt it. 
You felt that he made his choice.
That you were the one he chose for.
a/n whewwww that was interesting ;))) anyways! I hope you liked the chapter? let me know; who’s your fav character and why? what do you think of clandestine so far? leave it in the comments below or in my ask!

jennie kim & cisfemale ‱ hey, isn’t that veronica moon? she is that twenty-two year old that’s been living in conyers farm for twenty years. did you know her family is worth $18B? no wonder she is so ingenious & haughty. she is known around the estates as the aesthete, after all.

in veronica’s dreams, she is the epitome of a morning person. in reality, she’s a two in the afternoon kind of person. however, her schedule does not allow her to do that. so she does everything possible to transform herself into a morning person. new white rays shine through the window as she lies in her queen sized bed. she lifts up the aqua colored silk eye mask and the warm ball of light filtered through her thin eyelids. it takes her a moment to adjust but eventually her eyes flutter open to reveal the exhaust in her chocolate brown hues. she extends her arm out to her bed side table, grabbing ahold of her phone. she clears out the notifications that do not automatically appeal to her and checks the ones that do. after five minutes of procrastinating, she finally slips out of bed.
ronnie trudges her feet against the hardwood floor, making her way over to her bathroom. with a flick of a switch, the bright light from the crystal chandelier fills up the room. she runs herself a bath. filling the tub with lavender and jasmine bath salts. her le soir silk night slip pools around her feet as she climbs into the warm water. she’s completely and utterly relaxed. the time passes too quickly and she’s back on her feet. she wraps the fluffy white towel around her small frame and walks into her closet. winter, her favorite time of the year. she picks out a classic veronica moon outfit. a light orange and black tartan patterned dress paired with her wool cashmere burberry coat. and with a single spritz of her chanel no.5 onto her chest, she’s ready for the day.

moon jisung, ( chairman and co-owner of urban place resorts / hotels ) met vanessa ross ( retired model, turned fashion designer ) back in 1995 at one of vanessa’s casting calls. that, of course, was being held at urban place’s gangnam location. it definitely was not love at first sight. vanessa’s serious aura made jisung think she was a lawyer. jisung’s spazzy persona had vanessa thinking, “ this man is the chairman ? ” their relationship remained business. until one day jisung accidentally texted the designer one letter, “ q. ” from there, the relationship blossomed.
october 29, 1996, veronica moon was born, the moon family was complete, and they’re absolutely perfect. two years after she was born, jisung and vanessa decided to make a permanent home in conyers farm. therefore, veronica grew up in a really nice household. nice cars, designer clothes, and every day was a vacation. she was constantly spoiled. always given whatever she wants, whenever she wants. and of course, she’s used to getting her way all the time. ultimately making her: bad and boujee. her family is loaded. ( duh every1â€Čs is. ) and she’s always been surrounded by lots of love and luxury.
being the only child, ronnie never had any consequences. in school, she became sort of a bully. she was very ruthless and cold. she had that, “i’ll do anything to get where i need to be,” personality. and if it meant paying someone to transfer the other student threatening her valedictorian spot, then yes, of course she’d do that. people either hated her or loved her. there was no in between. she kept her clique small. ( yes, a clique, which indeed was very exclusive. invite only. think of regina george or blair waldorf. ) she ran her school and she liked to keep it that way. 
once she graduated she became more of an adult about things. but, old habits die hard. therefore, some of those traits she developed in school still linger with her til this day. just a little more filtered. ( truly, just a tad bit. ) she got accepted into almost every ivy league college. her mother gave her the option to just pass on college. her father on the other hand, encouraged her to go to school to have the major under her belt. ultimately, she decided to go to yale and major in art history. ( she chose yale because it was only a little over an hour away from conyers. ) though, now, most of her classes are being completed online.
present time: veronica is currently taking a semester off school to really think about what she wants to do after she graduates. at the moment, she spends a majority of her time working on her art. growing up she always had an artistic eye. vanessa ( being a fashion designer ) taught her all the techniques when it came to drawing for fashion. though eventually, veronica steered away from the clothing industry and found herself drawing more intricate works of art.
                                           P E R S O N A L I T Y
too long; didn’t read: an angel with a halo unbalanced with horns, not a devil but not a saint either ?? kind yet has a backbone. softer than what she seems like. humorous and witty though understanding. mistrusting but willing to let loyalty speak. wealthy but tries not to depend on her family. stays away from the king glitterati lifestyle and fronts as if she’s just a normal gal livin’ in conyers etcetc.
she has that tell it like it is personality. she just calls it likes she sees it. even if she’s not exactly right. she’s literally drowning in her riches. making her materialistic af. some people might think she’s that dumb bimbo rich bitch. but she’s actually very VERY smart. witty and intelligent to be exact. 
super particular when it comes to most things. ( high maintenance queen. ) she wants things done correctly. so she often runs by the quote, “ if you want things right you gotta do it yourself. ” she absolutely despises like relying on others to get things done when she knows she could do it faster and better. a little bit of a ocd queen. 
her instagram = her job. it’s filled with ootds, selfies, food pics. but most importantly: her art. it’s the platform she uses to show people she isn’t just a pretty rich girl. she has talent. ( *insert "the kardashian's have no talent" - proven wrong in 7 minutes vid.* ) 
she’s very dedicated to her work, thus making her very goal oriented. she’s very creative and she’s actually a very good artist. she’s one of those people that set their mind to something and goes through with it until the end. i’m sure she picked up doodling and bullet journaling while growing up. *plays boss ass bitch vine.*
too long; didn’t read pt. 2: she’s slowly growing out of her tough head of hair and morphing into a young woman so beautiful over the years, but also at times, terrifying ?? self destructive ?? even if she’ll never let anyone see her deteriorate her insides sigh. she’s a hot mess. but she tries her best to hide that shit. yeye sweg.
                                            R E L A T I O N S H I P S
FRIENDSHIPS: she has plenty of friends, at least in her head. in reality, she just knows a lot of people through her many connections. so she has many affiliations. but never real friends. she’s very particular with the people she associates herself with. she believes that those around you reflect who you are as a person as well. therefore, she only surrounds herself with the best of the best. she may not be the best person to tell your secrets too either because she’s quite the gossip queen. but she can probably persuade you to trust her. rip. however, if you are a close friend of her’s, she’s very loyal to those who are loyal to her. which means she’d never do you dirty. but that’s only if she really cares about you. she’s a really great listener and she’s willing to give advice to those are willing to take it. plus, she’s the type to spoil the people she loves. so expect the best christmas gifts ever if u rollin’ with her. 
honestly, she really does need to surround herself with good people with genuinely good intentions. so please, someone teach her what loyalty is. 
bonus points if they’ve been friends for awhile. displays loyalty.
ENEMIES: she was bully in high school. so you know this girl has more than enough enemies ( and haters. ) she uses people, she pushes people around, etc etc. like she has some very evil intentions. she’s vengeful and irrational. she puts fuel to drama and loves to see people crash and burn. why ? she wants that reassurance that she is flourishing above all. she never wants to be belittled and will do anything to remain on the very top. however,,, ronnie does have some good intentions. she leans more to the chaotic neutral side. ( maybe tilted a bit more towards evil, but still. ) deep deeeeep deeeeeeeeeeep down the girl is trust issue central when it comes to letting people in. she can’t help it. she’s like that one rihanna meme, them: you can’t just cut people off. ronnie: *holds a pair of scissors* she doesn’t have problem with letting people go. so people think she’s a bitch because, “how could you just drop our five year long friendship like that.” and she’d just shrug. but really, she’s hurting beyond repair and will go home crying while eating a thing of ben & jerry’s chunky monkey.
there’s always that possibility where a friendship just didn’t work out. maybe they just stopped having time for each other and now it’s just mad awk. whatever it is, an enemy would b beaut.
veronica absolutely needs enemies. give her many. plenty. an abundance please.
LOVERS: i have a feeling she’s dabbled in the dating world. she’s had a few boyfriends, dates, etc. but most likely nothing LONG TERM. possibly because she doesn’t see the point unless it’s for marriage. just like her mom and dad. she has this [ beyoncĂ© vc ] independent woman facade going on right now. which makes her seem like she doesn’t want anyone. but she’s secretly a hopeless romantic. this girl would love to be loved. and she truly needs it. she’s probably read tons of books about love and fluffy shit like that. it’d be a hard mission to win this girl over. but not impossible. she just has high expectations when it comes to relationships. so someone rlly needs to come here and treat this girl right. 
100% dabbles in the quick hook ups for the sake of fulfilling those needs. 
though, if the right person were to come along
 she’d be loyal to them, completely devoted to just them.
CONGRATULATIONS ! you made it to end ! if you read all of this
 i love you. i only ever write so much bc
 it gets me in character lmao. also, i wrote all of this literally the moment i woke up so pls excuse any mistakes. i would really love to plot with everyone. so just slide into my IMs and we can get things started !! luv u *blows a kiss*

could you do a request with MC having tons of beautiful tattoos all over her (like her stomach, arms, thighs, and hands) with RFA?
Sorry this is such a looooong wait!! I’ve been meaning to get back into writing. Anyways here you go anon! P.S. I also added a little surprise at the end ;) 
Yoosung 
-Yoosung would be very surprised at first
 -Like
-“WHOAA that’s SuPeR CooL”
-You’d grin as you show him the tattoos coating almost every inch of your body
-Won’t stop talking about how you like one of his favorite video game characters
-Often asks you to cosplay
-And if you’re up for it, then you’d go quite often to Cons and LARPs with Yoosung
-And get lots of compliments
-But not just about your tattoos ;)
-You laugh it off and thank them with a smile
-Until you turn and see a little pout on Yoosung’s face
-You bite back a smile
-“What’s wrong, Yoosung?”
-He’d continue to pout until you pester him a bit longer
-He finally gives in eventually, despite his stubborn personality
-Because you’re you.
-And Yoosung can never say no to you
-He’d slowly make out the words to tell you
-“
I just don’t like all those guys looking at you
”
-You bit you lip to keep you from laughing
-“Yoosung
I’m cosplaying..they’re supposed to look at me”
-“WELL NOT LIKE THAT!!”
-“Like what?”
-“Like you’re some,,,some sNaCK!”
-Oh?
-You have failed, you’re bursting out laughing
-“Y/N it’s not funny! Seriously!!” he’d cry out in frustration
-But you’re laughing at his jealousy
-Because

-Does he not realize you’re already his?
Zen
-So as you all know
-Zen used to be the “baddest boy”
-
..sure Zen
.
-When he meets you and sees all the tattoos decorating your arms as well as you neck and legs
-“..You know, Y/N, I used to have a friend that had a ton of tattoos too”
-Thinks it makes you the edgiest thing ever
-Brags about you ALL THE TIME in the RFA chat rooms
-“JUST LOOK AT HOW GORGEOUS SHE IS”
-“Zen. Its 3am. Go to sleep.”
-“Shut up trust fund”
-Lowkey thinks you have a dark past
-“Zen stop i’m not that edgy”
-Always begging you to wear his leather jackets
-The Edgiest Couple?ℱ
-Nope
-Smooth rides on his motorcycle
-“Zen were you in a gang”
-“WHAT NO WHO DO YOU THINK I AM?!”
-“A mafia boss”
-“
.really?”
-Despite all your tattoos he still treats you like a princess
-As he should
-In fact, he calls you a princess all the time
-“Princess, wanna go on a ride?”
-CONSTANTLY COMPLIMENTING YOUR TATTOOS
-As well as your face, hair, body, etc.
-Ok pretty much all aspects of 
you
-Sometimes he’ll trace the designs of your tattoos
-He’s just in awe at the beautiful art that is you
Jaehee
-Not judgemental at all
-Jaehee is the type to believe that the choices you make in life are your own decisions and shouldn’t be judged
-She finds many of the tattoos to be really pretty!
-Scolds those who try to embarass you in public that say your tattoos are “too much”
-Honestly in general she’s very respectful of people’s lifestyles as long as it’s not affecting their health
-At first she may be a little surprised
-But she knows it doesn’t matter :)
-Jaehee is also very supportive of you (really about anything in life)
-Somewhat similar to Zen she’d compliment the artistry of the tattoos
-Jaehee likes to appreciate the small things as well
-So she’d give very heartfelt compliments about you as well
-And when you come to her crying one day because, yet again, your relatives all went off on their rants of how you are “going to regret your foolish decisions later”
-Jaehee consoles you telling you that their opinions have no value
-That you shouldn’t listen to them as they obviously don’t understand that this is your decision and therefore your choice
-Obviously she’s also the mom friend so she’s always checking up on you when you aren’t with her
-Because she loves you
-And nothing will change that
Jumin
-If I’m being honest he might be a bit less supportive :/
-“Y/N I do not see why this would be ethical nor why it is necessary”
-“Jumin, I didn’t do this because it was necessary, I decorated my body because I wanted to. You have your way and I have my way.”
-That shut him up
-But he’d also be worried because “how are you going to be able to get an MRI if you get hurt”
-That’s mainly his concern
-He’s not really one to say that you “will regret your decision later” because he believes that you can do whatever you want
-He just doesn’t understand the reason why
-And as I said earlier, his concern for you.
-But after a short time of convincing, he’d give into you.
-He always does.
-But also because you got pretty upset
-And he of course felt horrible
-He’d try to apologise with gifts but after seeing you reject them all he’d realize that all you ever wanted was his acceptance
-And so with no hesitation he would run up to you and hug you whispering of how he was wrong, as well as the beauty that you are
—And then it’s all in the past
-Eventually he’ll probably get a tattoo of Elizabeth III because CatDads.com said it is the utmost display of love to your cat
-(You’ll find out later this website was made by Seven as a payback prank for all the trouble Jumin caused you)
-Also he would of course get a tattoo of your name in Chinese
-Reporters would go crazy with outlandish headlines
-“IS JUMIN HAN GOING THROUGH A PHASE?!”
-“JUMIN HAN SEEN GOING ROGUE AFTER DATING NEW GIRL”
-“WHAT IS THIS PHENOMENON?!”
-All you and Jumin did was laugh at the headlines, going about your lives
-Unless someone publicly offended you
-Then Jumin would definitely bite back
-Almost arrested someone
-“Jumin stop”

» Just a Kiss [a DIFTL bonus]
Tumblr media
part 18 << Just a Kiss >> part 19. 
[This is a bonus scenario for the DIFTL Text Au] [Masterlist Here] [Length: 3.6k]  [I wanted to write a drabble but lol, 3k words]  [Leave Comments I don’t know what I’m doing and I crave validation]  [Warning: Mention of past abusive relationship] 
The day is already turning dark when I barge into Namjoon’s place, pretty tones of purple and pink dissolving into a star spotted sky. The door makes a loud bang when I open it, and I can hear Seokjin’s loud scream even before I see him by his boyfriend on the sofa. Namjoon himself barely acknowledges me, hand waving half-heartedly as a welcome. He’s already used to my loud steps and violent coming and going, since I have my own keys and weird visiting habits.
Learning my best friend is not alone does put a dent in my courage, but thinking about Jimin's sad pout urges me on. If I want my boyfriend to be happy and stress free, I'll just have to talk to both of them at once.
“They’re good news”, I reason to myself, “there’s no reason for panic”. But that positive mindset flies out the window when I step into the living room. Not only Jin is over, but Yoongi is also present, sitting beside the couple with a sour expression.
Now, even though bored is Yoongi’s default mood, I can’t really blame him these days; Namjoon and Jin have been attached at the hip since they began dating. They are still in the honeymoon stage, and it makes things harder to the rappers usual hangouts. I believe that’s why when he sees me, Yoongi just rolls his eyes at the pair and flashes his big gummy smile at me. It's so out of nowhere you'd think I came in carrying puppies or something.
I throw myself carelessly on the sofa, forcing my friends to accommodate the new body between them. Namjoon’s arm naturally involve me by the shoulder as Yoongi’s circle my waist and I sigh. Once I'm sandwiched between my best friends, the whole tension accumulated in my body melts away.
“Stop laying over other people's boyfriend, Y/N”, Jin pouts from the other side of Namjoon. His hands are busy playing with the younger tanned fingers, but I know his eyes are on me.
I just wiggle between them some more in response, head sinking into my best friend’s shoulder. As Jin’s loud voices starts a new whine, Yoongi pinches me to a stop, his glare a warning.
“Stop that, the couch isn’t big enough for your squealing”.
“What do you want space for? You should embrace your friends more, Yoongs”.
The boy sighs, tired, and Namjoon coughs out a laugh.
“She’s not wrong, hyung. You never give us any love”.
“What do you want my love for, you have a boyfriend right there. Hyung, do something, help a guy out here”.
Jin just grins and his dashing, incredible smile blinds us for a moment.
“You and I know it’s not the same. You’re brothers”.
“Yeah, we’re one big happy family”, he teases, but I don’t mind him.
“Why wouldn’t you wanna cuddle your cute baby sister?”, I blink big eyes at him, but both of my friends scoff at me.
“You’re not as much of a cute baby as you think you are, Y/N”, Joon attacks.
“Or of a sister”, Yoongi completes, and I make a big show of playing hurt, hands against my heart and everything.
“Woah. And I thought this friendship was forever”.
Yoongi rolls his eyes, and Joon bumps his shoulder against me, playful.
“At least I have Jimin now”, I add nonchalantly.
There’s a whole two seconds pause in our conversation, and then they are all speaking at once.
“I KNEW IT! You are both terrible at secrets. Jimin’s been walking around with literal hearts on his eyes, it's ridiculous. I knew something finally happened”, Jin screeches.
“That’s not the correct use of literal”, Namjoon cuts, but he has a soft smile all over his face. And then he turns to me, eyes inquiring: “Since when is this happening? And right under my nose too”.
“Park Jimin? Seriously?” is Yoongi’s incredulous comment. His arm leaves my waist as both his hands go to his temples, fingers massaging it with precision.
I just chuckle, face flushed and body restless. This is when they say this is a bad idea, right? This is when they say that I’m being dumb for trusting a guy with a reputation like the one Jimin has. That I’m putting myself up for suffering for doing this again.
“I thought you hated guys like him”, Yoongi mutters, confirming my thoughts. I shrink beside him, legs coming over so I can hug them.
“He’s not like I thought he’d be. I know we started on the wrong foot with the whole frat party fail and all, but... when I reached over for the whole Jin and Joon thing, he was up for it. And a guy who accepts to date someone who hates him, even if it’s fake, just to try and get his friend together with his crush can’t be all bad, right? And then whenever we were together he was just... this really caring, sweet, fun to be around guy-friend. He ended up not being bad at all. I mean, he flirts a lot, he's jealous of everything, and he's used literally ever excuse in the book to hold my hands or hug me close but... He just won me over being Jimin, I guess”, I finish with a small smile.
“I called it, she’s in loooove”, Jin sing-songs, like he’s not the oldest of us all.
“Shut up, oppa”, but there’s no real bite to my voice.
“Since when?” Namjoon asks again, suspiciously over invested in this detail.
“A month and a half, give it or take”.
“HA!”, Jin cheers, poking his boyfriend with a maniac smile. “I told you the party would do it, pay up, loser!”.
“Did you guys seriously bet we’d get together?”.
“Nah, we bet on how long you’ve been hiding”, Jin corrects me, shameless.
“Oh, c’mon, we can’t have been that obvious”.
“You were, sweetie”, Jin says, and his eyes are soft now. “I’m telling you, Jimin has been ridiculous. Hobi can’t stand him around the studio anymore. Says he keeps singing love songs and disturbing the practices”.
“I'm going to kill him”, I mutter, and Jin coos, pinching my cheeks. I can physically feel the blood flushing up and setting my skin of fire.
“I mean, he did jump out your bedroom window yesterday morning”, Namjoon completes.
If my face felt hot before, now I could easily fry an egg on my face, no problems.
“You saw that? Why didn’t you say anything??”
“Y/N, Jimin was half naked while jumping out of a window. You guys were clearly working hard at hiding it. I figured you’d tell me when you were ready. And you did”.
“I’m so embarrassed. But that was really sweet of you, Joon, waiting for me to put my thoughts in place. Thank you so much”.
“Yeah, bitch, you should thank me! Hyung has been impossible with the ‘I told you so’s”, he complained, and I couldn’t help but laugh, my body doubling over. So much for a sweet moment.
“But I did tell so! So many times too! I said Y/N should give him a chance, that he was serious about this, that she should listen to her dumb little heart! I’m basically the catalyzer of this relationship. I have the right to feel like a proud parent”.
“Yeah, I’m pretty sure Jimin did most of the work. You have to give him kudos for not giving up on us, even if I’m an indecisive insecure mess”.
“Yeah, if he’s putting up with you, he’s really something else”, Namjoon mocks. “But let it be known that if he mess things up again, I’m going to... do something bad. To him. Yeah”.
“That’s cute, but you’re a teddy bear, Joonie”.
“I could be hiding an angry beast, you never know. He’s better off not trying funny shit like hurting you”.
“I'm pretty sure I could punch your teeth out, Kim Namjoon, but thank you, I guess”.
“You can’t even reach my neck, Y/N, I’m not worried about your threats”.
Namjoon yelps when I pinch him in retaliation and Jin cackles at our antics, but I’m feeling really content. Despite all my fears, the little time Jimin and I were together was nothing short of bliss. He showers me in love and kisses and so much adoration, I am happy my friends finally know about it too, so I can do the same. Honestly, now that I’ve told them (and they are teasing me about it), it feels like a huge weight has been lifted from my chest. This is right. And even if it’s not, they got my back.
I recline on the sofa, half laying all over Namjoon, and he taps my forehead fondly, silent question in his eyes. I smile up at him so that he knows I’m fine. I’ve been scared for so long my friends got over zealous, and I love them for caring so much.
“Where did Yoongs run to?”, I ask, stretching my legs to make use of the sudden free space beside me.
Namjoon shrugs, “Maybe he left while you were threatening me. God knows you two just come and go like you live here. You two should pay rent”.
“You literally barged into my place yesterday at seven in the morning. My boyfriend had to leave through the window, half dressed. Shut up”.
“Okay, so maybe you don’t need to pay. BUT YOU STILL HAVE TO, HYUNG!”, he screams towards the corridor, and I roll my eyes. Yoongi never responds.
“Do you think he died?”, Jin asks from the other side of the sofa where he’s also leaning over Joonie. We’re lucky he’s so unnecessarily big so there’s quite a bit of Namjoon to everyone.
“I’ll check on him, I guess. I have to leave anyway, I promised Jimbo I’d go over to his tonight”.
“Uh, look at her, staying over at her boyfriend’s”.
“And to think last month she was literally running away from him on the streets”, Namjoon adds. I flick his forehead in retaliation before I leave, and he's still complaining when I get to the door. The couple scream their goodbyes as I lock behind me.
I find Yoongi at the small playground right outside Namjoon’s building, swaying slowly in the rusty swing set. I sit by him, giggling when I push it a little and the whole thing shakes.
“You look really emo sitting here alone, Yoongs”, I say as opening.
His response is an automatic “And your fat ass is going to break the freaking playground, Y/N”, but his tone is weak.
“You okay? You didn’t say goodbye to us”.
He only looks at me and sighs, and I’m confused by his sudden gloomy mood.
“‘m fine. Just thinking”.
“Nah. I know your normal thinking face. This one”, I say, poking my finger between his brows, and his face softens a little “ looks like sad thinking. Bad thinking”.
“You know me well, uh?”.
“It’s a gift and a pain”, I agree. He gives me a small smile, but it’s gone as fast as it appears. “What happened, Yoongs?”
“You, I guess”.
“I happened? Am I bothering you? Was the whole couple thing too much for you?”, I ask, bumping my swing chair against his lightly. Yoongi isn’t high maintenance, but if his two best friends are suddenly dating, he could feel left behind. And he’s not the biggest fan of couples and romance on the daily, anyway.
“Nah, I saw it coming. Granted, I didn’t think you’d go for frat boys again. Specially not after the shit Jinhoo pulled on you last time”, his voice is bitter and the words hurt.
Yoongi knows not to talk about my ex, worst even about that night I can barely remember. The abusive dirtbag’s name alone trigger bad memories and I don’t want to relive them right now - nor ever.
“Don’t. Please, don’t - Don’t even mention him”, I plead, and his hand squeezes my leg in atonement. The motion is soothing, comforting, but I still wish he'd stayed quiet.
“Sorry. I just knew you would be swept away sooner or later, but I didn’t see Park Jimin doing it, I guess”.
“I know it’s a little surprising, since we were screaming at each other daily a couple of months ago, but Jimin is not a bad guy. A little too coy, maybe, but I really like him and got tired of pretending I don’t. Especially since he didn’t let me get away with it anyway”.
“Insisting paid well for him then”.
“Or maybe he just got himself a time bomb”, I whisper and Yoongi glares at me. I cower a little.
“You are fucking incredible, Y/N. You’re beautiful, funny, loyal as heck and you give everything to make whoever you love happy. You got together with a guy you hated to get Joon a boyfriend, fuck’s sake”.
“But you said it yourself, Yoongs, and you’re right about it: Jinhoo made a number on me. I can’t even accept love without getting scared I'm being used again. I keep hurting people while trying to defend myself, I keep doubting everyone”.
Yoongi pulls my little chair over to his own, the rusty chains of the swing rattling at the brusque movement. I can feel his breath over my face and his eyes are raging and I’ve rarely seen him so upset.
“You’re the strongest girl I know, Y/N. What that shitbag did to you leaves marks. No one is blaming you for protecting yourself. You’re not a bomb for trying to recover an abusive past. Stop saying that. Park’s lucky to have you, if anything”.
“But”, I try, and Yoongi forces my lips to a pout, silencing me.
“No. You’re amazing. You’ve put yourself together after someone you loved broke your trust. I’m sorry I even brought him up, you know I get dumb when I’m worked over”, he finishes softly, and his grip loses force. Both of his hands rest by my face now, and an eerie silence looms over us.
“Are you sure you okay, Yoongi? Because you’re not letting go of my face and it’s getting really weird”, I say, trying to lighten up our  conversation. This was supposed to be a good moment with my friends, a small celebration of my no longer dead heart. I don’t want to ruin the night talking about my ex. I only wanted to talk about Jimin.
“I just need a moment”, he murmurs, but he barely waits one before he leans over. His usually sleepy eyes are wide open, cataloging my every reaction as he comes closer. His lips touch mine gently, carefully, like he knows I’m about to flee his grasp. But I freeze, my brain short circuited for an entire second, because Yoongi is kissing me. Yoongi, my best friend, who’s been walking hand in hand with me and Namjoon for almost as long as I can remember. Yoongi who knows all my fears, all my faults, all my traumas.
He moves softly, seeking more, and then the situation downs on me and I push him away like I’ve been electrocuted. My hands cover my lips and my eyes water and I can only look at him horrified, because how could he?
“Y/N, no, wait”, he begins as I step away from him, bolting from the swing set as fast as my legs can take me.
“What do you think you’re doing? I’ve just
 I just told you about Jimin. I’m dating Jimin. I’m happy, I’m finally trusting someone again and you
”, my voice fades.
His eyes are large and panicky and he’s trying to reach me, arms outstretched, fingers grasping at my sweater. I move away, farther from him and his pleading gaze.
“I just... I’ve been in love with you for so long, Y/N, and I”, the words have barely left his lips but I take another step back, like I’ve been slapped.
“Since when?”
“Way before the shitbag even happened. But the timing was never right. You were dating that Lee kid when we moved here, and when you guys broke up I tried giving you time, but then... you started seeing Jinhoon right before I decided to say something and we know how that ended. You were in no place for me to say anything after that. And now again
 I guess I waited too long”.
“Lee... Minhyun? That was years ago, Yoongi”.
“I know, I know. Maybe I was a coward and hid behind giving you time. I was always so afraid I’d mess up and lose you completely”.
“And then you got tired and decided to fuck it up intentionally?”
“No, God, Y/N, I
 You’re in love with Park freaking Jimin. You can’t see it, but your whole face light up when you talk about him. You guys just begun seeing each other and your eyes are already shining so much and
 You’re so happy. I got angry that I lost you again”.
“So you kissed me? Are you trying to get back at me for
?”, he cuts me off, his words fast and worried and desperate.
“No! I’d never be angry at you for being happy. All that I want is for you to be happy. But I’m a loser, a coward and I don’t have any right, but I needed that one kiss. I’ve always needed it, needed you. And I wanted to taste, at least for one second, what it's like to have you. So I can finally try and leave these feelings behind and support you”.
I’m static after he speaks, the tears streaming down my face the only sign I'm still listening. His breath comes out in heavy puffs, like he ran a mile trying to catch ume. It fits, somehow, because the distance between us have never been so big. And maybe there's only a couple of feet separating us on the pavement, but the gap still feels uncommon, final. It doesn’t feel like it can shorten again. He’s my best friend and he just ruined the safety I felt around him to steal from me whatever he wanted. Whatever he needed.
“It was so hard for me to give into this thing with Jimin. To trust him not to hurt me. And you
 You just made me hurt him. For a kiss? Because you wanted? Because you needed it? You’re just being egoist”.
“I know. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry”, he begs, timid steps trying to get closer again. My own feet mimic his movements, and the distance never lessens. “Please, stop moving away. Don’t leave me”.
“I need this space, Yoongi. I can’t trust myself not to slap you right across the face right now”, I tell him, and his face is anguished.
“Do it. Scream at me or something. Just don’t go away. That’s the only thing I never wanted”.
“You should have thought of that before. You were safe and now you aren’t. I’m feeling betrayed. And I don’t want to be here anymore, I want to go home and eat ice cream. I need to think. I need to figure out how I’m telling Jimin one of my best friends just confessed to me after I told him I was dating someone else. And then he kissed me. Not necessarily in that order, too”.
“Let me at least take you home. You look a mess, you shouldn’t be walking home alone like this”.
“And whose fault is that?”, my voice spikes up as my hands nervously clean the tear tracks all over my cheeks. I can feel my self control slipping and I hate it, I hate this situation.
“It was just a kiss. It was impulsive and dumb and I’m sorry”, he apologizes, trying to get closer, arms once again outstretched. I walk away from him, like he’s a stranger. Right now, he pretty much feels like one.
“I don’t care about the kiss. It was my trust you broke, Yoongi. You just did the same as Jinhoon back then".
"I would never", he seethes, but I don't even register his anger.
"You knew I trusted you, and you took advantage of it. What you took, it doesn't matter". He tries to speak again but I interrupt him, already exhausted from this conversation. “I’ll be fine, I’ll just go back to Joon’s now and cry a little more, maybe. But you should leave. I don’t want to see you right now”.
“I guess that’s fair. But we’ll talk again later, yeah? We’ll figure this out”.
“There’s nothing to figure out, Yoongi. You fucked up and now I have to make it right. In my head, with Jimin. What remains here comes later”.
“I am really sorry I acted on my dumb impulses and hurt you. I never wanted to hurt you”, he says, voice low, but I’m not looking at him to see how his expression look like. I can’t. “I’ll see you later, okay?”.
I don’t say anything. We stay there for a minute, both silent, eyes not meeting. And then he leaves, without waiting anymore for any response. His steps are slow and uneven as he walks towards the end of the street. I do the same, my head light from the crying, my heart heavy from the mess. I walk back towards the building I just came away from. And I don’t look back.

KIM TAEHYUNG’S NOT SO STRAIGHT TENDENCIES (a.k.a his gayest moments) PART 1
(I cannot provide media proof since that’ll take a lot of time, but if you observe Kim Taehyung, you’ll get what I’m saying. Also, my native tongue is not english so I’m gonna have to ask you to excuse my shortcomings lol)
Before anything, I’d like to say that I acknowledge that Kim Taehyung is definitely a beautifully unique person who has shown time and time again how a person can have so many different sides. I am aware that he is the embodiment of affection and appreciates physical contact BUT SOME THINGS BEYOND THIS ARE JUST HARD TO IGNORE.
1.      Muscle Kink
-This may be something the less observable fans may have overlooked. There have been several instances when our dear Taehyung had been a little bit too enthusiastic about feeling up other men’s biceps and abs. I have seen him many times, feeling up the other members, particularly Hoseok (in one of the latest Bon Voyage episodes), Seokjin (during their earlier days), Jimin (occasionally, I distinctly remember him feeling up Jimin’s abs) and Jungkook (on several different times, he even bit his biceps for fuck’s sake). Even Namjoon from time to time. And I’m certain that he had not only felt them up casually, if his lip bites were anything to go by. (BONUS: His whole reaction to that one shirtless crew member during one of the episodes in Bon Voyage S2?! He was definitely checking him out, look at the video I posted if you wanna know what I’m talking about)
-We all know he also has an affinity to being carried. I have never seen him show any negative reaction when being manhandled by his members. I expect that we all know his legendary moments when he purposely climbed onto other members’ backs for a piggy back ride or randomly clings onto them like a koala. I have seen videos from 2014 til today that can prove this. I remember that Seokjin tended to play around with him and carried him bridal style during their fansigns earlier back then. Also, he seemed very happy when Nate picked him up when they were saying goodbye during AHL. I’ve also seen him demand piggy back rides from Hoseok, Jimin and Jungkook. Sure, he may have complained during a particular BTS Festa back then about Jungkook throwing him whenever he annoyed the maknae, but seriously? Why would he even bother Jungkook again and again if he knew the outcome was him being thrown around their dorm? The maknae even said that he’d repeat annoying him for about thirty times? Something doesn’t seem right there. (Also, while “complaining” I didn’t really see him be seriously troubled by it? I don’t know if it’s just me).
-Did you also see how he held back his smile and tried to hide his excitement when he got a piggy back ride from one of is Hwarang members during a photoshoot? Our Gucci boy literally had sparkles in his eyes. (Also in Hwarang, when Hyunsik just did the ‘dip’ with him? Y’know that that step in salsa. During one of their photoshoots/interviews, when his hyung finally finished his shoot, he went and bulldozed Tae off his feet. I didn’t see him complaining though, he even had a huge smile).
-When Seokjin got pissed at them (him and Jimin) during ISAC 2017 and he carried Taehyung towards where he threw his shoes, our little Taetae was giggly the whole time and was completely flustered when it ended. (Also with Seokjin, when they were promoting the Wings album, he suddenly clung onto him and let himself be carried just like old times).
-The legendary Taekook moment during their concert in Japan. I forgot where it was (Nagoya?). It was around 2016, if i’m not mistaken, when he got on Jungkook’s back during their “Attack  on Bangtan” performance. He clung to him like a life line and he was truly enjoying himself. (Bonus: when he also asked for a shoulder ride).
-Let’s not forget the instances when he just praised other members’ bodies. Like, saying “Rapmon-hyung has the best body” and “Jungkook has a nice body”. I’m sure there are a lot more, but I can’t remember.
2.      Girls
-Before anything else, I’m not ruling out any possibility of him being interested in the opposite gender (because girls are fucking hot, trust me), but he has not shown any genuine interest in them? I know that some of the fans would mention the Star King thing? The one where this girl was teaching them exercises. I honestly get annoyed when they make inappropriate jokes about this because there was nothing really sexual about it at all? I mean, yeah, he glanced from time to time but wouldn’t it be awkward and disrespectful to not look at an instructor? (Others may say “but what about his facial expression?” Bitch, what facial expression? All I saw was him trying to do the exercise and being in slight pain while doing so because he doesn’t exercise regularly for shit). You can also see that he was seriously trying to get the position right so he observed well (he even did that cute little wall exercise for couples with the other male mc).
-I also notice that in award shows, he doesn’t look particularly enthusiastic about girl group performances. Sure, he dances along to the catchy ones but unlike other people, he doesn’t really give that much attention to it? (I understand that it is disrespectful for them to stare, but I don’t think he feels the urge to do so, he can give sneaky glances but I don’t see him doing that. Just pure enjoyment and appreciation of music).
-During YamanTV (?) I’m not sure if the title is correct. One male MC suddenly felt the need to voice out his opinion about Taehyung’s looks. Out of the blue, he praised Taehyung for being very handsome (which made him shy), and then added “you must be very popular with girls” which stopped him momentarily from talking (he laughed at the comment), but then just continued talking like nothing happened.
-His general non-chalance about how girls could perceive his actions. There are a loooooooooooooot of instances like this. When he was MC-ing with this other female idol, and he just acted naturally goofy the whole time; when he added sound effects to his comments when BTS and Twice were being interviewed about their songs (he got shy at first like how most people would react but he got over it instantly and went to do aegyo while imitating the girl group’s song); when he literally twerked over the speaker during New Year(?) while the other members of Red Velvet stared at him like he’s a madman during an award show; AND his shameless flirting with his members during award shows, while in the presence of female groups e.g. Taejin being playful at MAMA and TAEKOOK goofing off during Golden Disk Awards while girl group members were literally behind them).
 3.      Spontaneous moments
-I think he is generally a spontaneous person and gaddamit, he does some pretty questionable things when his bout of craziness comes around:
-When he kissed Jungkook’s ears during one of the Festas, I literally just stared for a few seconds because WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT? (That’s how not you get voted as the favourite hyung).
-Seokjin’s graduation where he swiped some cake from Jin’s lips with his thumb and literally sucked it, then smirking immediately after. (JESUS CHRIST)    
-In their earlier days when he grabbed the back of Seokjin’s head and pulled him in until they were nose to nose (in an AIRPORT WTF).
-Randomly acknowledging another man’s attractiveness. He would praise Hoseok from time to time, saying he’s the most handsome; suddenly saying that Jungkook is sexy during bon voyage season 1 AND (this one took me by surprise) When they were in one interview with the Hwarang cast and they were watching some memorable scenes, Tae said “You’re so handsome” out of the blue when he saw Hyungsik’s character THEN he proceeded to be flustered and looked like he didn’t have the intention to say it out loud like that. He said it with a somewhat exasperated tone that fangirls have when they come to admire their male crushes. He was so shocked that he voiced it out and became silent afterwards.
-Playing with male idols’ ears. This has somewhat become an endearing move when it comes to Taekook since he does it to the maknae all the time, BUT we should also take note that he does it to male idols who catch his interest (?) Bogum and Sungjae eventually became his friends, right? AND SPEAKING OF BOGUM. No, I’m not gonna talk about their Jeju date since straight men can also have “platonic dates”. Admittedly, it was very cute though. I am, however, gonna point out about Tae’s fixation on him. I have seen Tae interact with several idols and, for me, none of them had caught Tae’s interest as much as Bogum did. When he first saw him MC-ing during an award show, he immediately played with his ears and sent several glances in his direction the whole time. (Not to mention he barely even looked at Irene, who was also MC-ing with Bogum even though she was the one talking). It was also said that he approached Bogum first backstage and asked for his contact. Then when he was asked during celebrity bromance, he said that he contacted Bogum every day. Also, out of all his friends idol friends outside Bangtan, he only ever bothered to set up pre-planned dates with Bogum. You know what? I’ll talk about the Jeju thing anyway. Why would he choose to spend the day immediately after a tiring concert, to immediately fly to Jeju with him during one of their rare rest days? (I’m not implying that they’re dating, what I’m saying is that there is definitely an attraction that comes with that much effort, BONUS: have you heard of the Korean reddit user who said Bogum bought him a drink when he was in PULSE (a gay bar) and stated that Bogum had a super famous person with him that night and they left together?). Having said that, he may find comfort in hanging out with people who
share his sentiments.  
-Finally, the randomest shit he’s ever done this month. Sit on Jeon Jeongguk’s lap. Come on, you’re lying of you say that that didn’t surprise you at least a little bit. (BONUS they were both so GENUINELY flustered when it happened, it kinda looked like it felt awkward for the other members).
NOTE: This is part 1 and I basically put all the light stuff here. The heavy stuff is for the part 2. So, I’m sorry if you think this was a waste of time, but I think part 2 is where the serious stuff is at. I’ll be mentioning there his relationship with members, some BigHit stuff (Stigma and the like) and a little about his background
AGAIN: I AM NOT STATING THAT HE IS GAY. He may be perfectly straight and is actually just a very VERY touchy person BUT please respect my opinion and I will respect yours. I WILL LOVE HIM NO MATTER WHAT HE IS AND NO MATTER WHO HE LOVES SOOOO
UNTIL THEN :)

RFA: Walks In To Zen’s Shower
[Warning: May contain spoilers, read at own risk]
I elaborated all the point-form scribbles from random scribbles that I typed in my notepad awhile back. Here’s RFA members + V + Saeran’s reaction with MC as Zen’s S/O. It’s my first attempt, hope you guys like it! - Mod Yoo.
Scenario The RFA is having a post-celebration for yet another successful fundraiser party from the night before. This time it’s Jumin’s turn to be the host. As expected of the corporate heir, he had already hired some of the country’s top culinary professionals as the occasion’s personal chefs, to collaborate with his private chef to serve up a special luncheon. Halfway through the luncheon, Saeyoung “accidentally” spilled not 1 but 2 cans of Dr. Pepper (he brought a carton over, very surprising) that he furiously shook in an attempt to prank Yoosung, who somehow manage to pull off a quick dodge since boy plays sports, and the drinks unloads ALL onto Zen’s back, he didn’t anticipate it cos he’s busy feeding MC. Saeyoung let out a quick yelp and took off running after Yoosung while Saeran ponders about having such a dorky twin. Groaning with frustration, Zen is left with no choice but a bath to get rid of the sticky, sugary mess he’s in. “Feel free to utilize one of my guest bathroom, it’s all yours.” Jumin said sniggering but continued: “I’ll have Driver Kim get a new set of clothes, it shall be ready by the time you’re done cleaning up.” Barely able to keep himself from yelling at Saeyoung and Jumin, Zen mutters quiet thanks and excuses himself from MC to go in for a shower. *Personally, I feel like Zen would be the type of guy that takes long bath, to ensure every inch of his perfect skin is taken care of; plus, he’d totally make full use of those luxurious products simply laid out in Jumin’s guest bathroom.*
Yoosung
He was so determined to hide from Saeyoung.
Ends up going into the bathroom that Zen is in.
Doesn’t realize that someone is inside until he hears a soft humming.
Then he caught a glimpse of a male silhouette from the shower curtains.
His eyes widen, raised both his palms to cover his mouth in a frantic attempt to stop himself from screaming.
Luckily, Jumin’s guest bathroom is too huge for Zen to hear someone came in.
He runs back out to the luncheon still trying to deal with the fact that he just saw Zen’s fully naked silhouette.
Found a spot beside Saeran and pulled him into a tight hug just sat down staring into blank space.
Somebodyhelpthissmolbean.
Saeyoung
Oh dear. Here comes the devil himself.
He was nearby when Yoosung ran out of Zenïżœïżœïżœs bathroom, he picked up on smol bean’s footsteps.
He pinpoints the exact location cue secret agent 707 and wastes no time to check the guest bathroom.
Immediately recognized Zen from the humming, he dipped his hands into the depths of his jacket’s side pockets to pull out a spy cam with size of a lentil seed oh god no Saeyoung WRYD.
He’s trained to be nimble. Easily presses the camera onto the best spot.
Tiptoed out of the bathroom before Zen could realise.
Rejoins the group as if nothing happened.
Sends a cheeky wink to Yoosung once their eyes met. 
This man boy. Really.
V/Jihyun
This kind soul probably just wanted to wash his hands after he’s done eating.
Slowly walks into the guest bathroom that Zen’s in.
Although partially blind but soon realises that he’s in Zen’s company when Zen starts humming in the shower.
He’d probably feel a little awkward but rationalises that he’s just here to use the tap for a bit and would be out in a jiffy.
Zen is aware of V walking into the bathroom from the sound of V’s cane tapping.
Considering V’s vision, both of them naturally let it slip.
Pleasejustgoandgetyoureyesfixedangelslikeyoushouldntbelikethis.
Jaehee
She enjoys wine but is such a lightweight drinker. 
Jumin’s eager to have everyone try out the limited-edition bottles of wine sent as gifts to him by the personal chefs.
This woman never says no to her source of moolah. 
She would’ve started rambling on by now. But damn, those wine tastes great heavenly. 
Before she realises, she’s had more than enough. 
Effect of those alcohol kicks in on her.
Politely excuses herself and leaves to the washroom. Staggers into the nearest bathroom “Lucky I don’t have to walk further.” Or so she thought.
Gets bewildered in a nanosecond when her ears pick up a super familiar tune *cough* Zen humming his own songs *cough*.
“ZEN?! O-oh my God!” Mentally scolds herself for being so careless. Probably also says a silent prayer to thank God 
Fumbles in her weak drunken attempt to escape.
ThoughtsofImaginesZenbeingcompletelyundressedisTOOdistracting.
Slipped on her heels. Black belt judo martial artist managed to quietly catch her own fall. 
Saeyoung, unbeknownst to her witnessed the entire process on his phone came up to help this poor soul. 
She feels blood boil to the tip of her head when Saeran thesmexyhacker shows her the video clip that his twin had recorded.
Praysfor707.
Elizabeth the 3rd (Bonus <3)
Struts into Zen’s bathroom and sat on the marble tiles like a queen.
Humming Zen starts to sneeze uncontrollably. “That’s odd.” He thought.
Gazes towards Zen’s direction.
“Meowwws~” 
Zen peeks out from behind the shower. “O-ooh c-crap-p! So this is why!” He hisses.
“HAN JUMIN!”
Slowly struts her way back out upon Zen’s screaming.
Queen pussycat does not want to get caught in no commotion. 
Seeing her leave, Zen blows out a long sigh of relief.
Islegitsecretlyflatteredthatthefurballlikedhisvoice.
“I wish I could sing for Elizabeth.” He thought as he goes back washing.
Jumin
He’s already well on to the 3rd bottle of his elegant wine.
Faintly hears Elizabeth's meows echo from spacious bathroom. "Maybe she’s just bored.”
Hears Zen yelling his name immediately after. MC unaware as she is occupied caring for Jaehee.
Cat dad’s alcohol-flushed face instantly livid. 
Shot up from his chair and strides toward his guest bathroom.
Flung the bathroom doors open with widened sharp eyes scanning for Elizabeth. 
Charged towards a yelling Zen whosenakedshowerbodstillinitsfullglory and clutched on his bare shoulders without regard.
“WHERE’S ELIZABETH THE 3RD, ZEN?”
He totally catches Zen off-guard.
“H-how would I know! S-she just walked out. L-let go of me. NOW!” Zen croaked.
Turns and storms out of the space. 
Zen thought, “W-what t-the heck just happened? H-how is he unfazed by my this beauty?! Trust fund jerk should just make that fur ball his wife.”
MC
Checks her watch and realizes that Zen has been away for more than an hour. With all the distraction he got, it’s no wonder.
She knew that he enjoys lengthier baths, but has always taken about 1 hour.
Walks up to Jumin who is walking back from the bathroom with Elizabeth the 3rd in his arms.
Seeing how the corporate heir appears so relieved, “Jumin, is everything okay?”
“Yes, MC. Thank you. Go on ahead and pick up Zen’s new clothes at the door. Driver Kim has offered to bring them up for you.” Jumin spoke calmly.
nicemcisnice Expresses gratitude and apologizes for inconvenience caused to Jumin and Driver Kim, she heads to the guest bathroom to find her husband still washing up.
Quietly walks to the nearest counter and lays all the new attire on the countertop. She also grabs a fresh towel, folds it up nicely, places it on top of his new clothes.
Caught by surprise when a pair of wet strong arms wrap around her waist from behind.
“Care to join me, my little lady?”
MC is flustered but soon turns to face her husband.
“I’ll wash you real good when we’re home later, my beautiful beast. Now please finish up quickly, it’s not fun without you at the luncheon dear.”
Saeran
Quickly finds and enters the nearest bathroom.
Muttering Inaudible grumbles and curses.
Saeyoung had just managed to spill gravy onto Saeran’s hands and pants when he tried to mess with Yoosung’s food again.
He’d witnessed a lot in Mint Eye back then. (peoplegotstrippedtotheirbirthdaysuitswhiletheywererepeatedlytortured, anytimethe“Savior”orderedbrainwashing).
He couldn’t care less even after knowing Zen is in the same bathroom.
Zen becomes aware when he hears Saeran running the tap water. 
Saeran spits out, “Just MYOB and we’re both good.” before Zen could start.
Guess some things are just difficult to change when you’re angry.
Scrubs the fabric with soap and warm water to lift the gravy stains from his candy peach thismanlovessweetswhat’dyouexpect colored chino pants.
Blows a soft sigh of satisfaction when he succeeds. It was actually the first of many birthday gifts from his twin brother
Coolly exits the bathroom. 
Glares at Saeyoung who goes on, “I’d always buy you another gift *threw in a wink*!” 
Punches Saeyoung in an attempt to hide his own embarrassment.
Rika (the -ending- bonus)
Assuming that she is mentally healthy and didn’t do all those bad things. weknowwhatshedidbutslet’sjustalltakeitasifeverythinghasbeennormal.
She’s also a fan of Zen’s talents just like Baehee.
But isn’t as strong-willed.
Faints the moment she realizes that the most beautiful idol shares the same bathroom .
Her handsome, teal haired fiancé nearly stumbles and falls on her when he walks into the bathroom wanting to check on his beloved fiancée.
He panics, but calms down after he determines from her pulse that his woman’s life is not in danger.
Stifling a chuckle, soastonotalertZen this angel probably got all the right guesses about the sequence of events that had taken place.
Her fiancé sweeps her up bridal style, walks to a couch in the living room and gently takes a seat with her still in his arms. Careful not to wake her up from her peaceful slumber.
When she woke up, she tells him the story of her dream where she saw Zen in his performance, spicy jalapeños maybe?.
“I’m glad you had a good dream, my stunning sun,” he said in a chuckle.

Episode 1 - Should We Just Call It A Day And Vote Out A Heterosexual Or What ~ Isaac
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Okay so right away I like trixie! Shes funny and I think we'll work well together. RTP is cool too since he likes HAIM and all HAIM lovers are great. Its fun having raf back on my tribe since we played before but I want to make new relationships so I dont want to just default to him. I also played with Eric before but voted him out so awk i hope he doesn't hold a grudge!! Im liking the tribe tho but hating this twist so much. Im using my idol at the first tribal FDSKJFSDH but then what if I get voted next since i dont have one.
Tumblr media
I'm really nervous because I don't know anyone that well on my tribe except for Logan, and they all seem to know each other. I'm gonna slap on a smile and pretend that I have confidence.
Tumblr media
WOW I JUST GOT IN AND IM EXCITED!!!!! well ummm I like to say ummm that everyone having idols is like ummm a bad thing because... if everyone plays it but one person.... they be idol'd out umm... yea. and plus... I have to like keep myself safe somehow...
Tumblr media
This tribe? Loving the concept. I want to work with Bryce because I know he's a sweet baby boy. He'll be loyal if I scoop him up first. Also, Trixie is as cracked as ever. I love that we all have idols. Guaranteed safety is a concept I love, but Trixie also told me she has an extra idol. Now, she might be lying since she said that Willow told her that one "houseguest" got an extra idol. This ain't Big Brother, and I would have preferred if she did not have an extra idol. She is straight up lying to me, but we'll see how it goes from here. Tonight is for forging bonds.
Tumblr media
Okay, this season is cute as heck! I am gonna give a full tribal first impression. Akito: My boy, we work well together and hopefully that can continue here. Isaac: Tends to get medevaced but I still adore this sweet boy and I look forward to playing with him again Jackson: Very social initially! I see myself in him, he also just started college and yadayada. Kelsey: We've exchanged like 4 messages but nice enough Linus:  A GOOD BEAN WHERE DID HE GO IN HOENN WE JUST DONT KNOW Mo: Pun Boy tm, but this is my turf so we're gonna have to share that title QuilLynn: Listen. She likes adore Delano. that's all I need Tyler: HE DOESNT LIKE MY PUNS that's all, see ya later 
Tumblr media
Love my tribe not doing much for the challenge! I got 9 of our 16 points so hope it shows that I'm trying. Although I only got 9 of a possible 18 possible points I could have gotten so yikes 50%! 
Tumblr media
im shocked we won immunity i didnt do anything sooooooOoo I was busy checking to see if i was pregnant jk
Tumblr media
People I've socialized with: 0 
Tumblr media
We meet again Raffy... We. Meet. Again.
Tumblr media
I love my tribe its so cute! Jackson is my friend from TS Ebola and I love him so much so yay! Mo is great I'm really glad Him me and Jackson could form a good group so early! Logan is great he guested a week in a BB i'm in and he was nice and said he's glad to be playing a game with me so woo! Tyler is nice so far but you can tell he is cocky af and I know even though he's new he's good at these games! I'm hoping we lose immunity, because I think I'd like to take tyler out asap, but if we win at least I know i'm not first boot. 
Tumblr media
So like yay for reward. Like winning a competition? A concept. Now, I feel like sending RTP to exile was the best decision since he was not going to participate in the challenge, but sending Tyler there was also an added bonus. I've played with Tyler before and I do not really trust him. I do not want him to make merge or be on the same tribe as him. So like, he can go sooner rather than later. Finally, me vs. Mo? We love a hero/villain dynamic. :) 
Tumblr media
We lost the reward challenge, it would of been nice to go to exile and date someone on the other tribe. We would of some funnnnnnn like bring out the margarita bring out the nachos and quesadilla with guacamole. Because it's about to get HOT in here!
Tumblr media
ok so my tribe is cool except trixie...they are annoying...im over it...and i got to go to exile because im gonna be at a wedding....lol take that! 
Tumblr media
so... we lost. yep. hoping to kill an inactive, hoping to not die. that's all
Tumblr media
We won! Loving the concept! Being safe is such an icon and Willow is such an icon. Anyways, I plan on working with Bryce, Trixie, and Richie because they seem like nice people. Literally nothing else to say because no gameplay yet.
Tumblr media
Oh god.... oh god no..... this is bad this is really bad
Tumblr media
im trying to get richie to showmance me and then we can later on down the road suddenly find out we're cousins and i think that'd be pretty funny. also i love willow she is so sweet and I hope she has a fun time hosting
Tumblr media
I'm literally so fucking gay and I just want a showmance like ???? I get here and the only people who I can legally attempt to seduce are Tyler and Mo? So obviously I pick Tyler because Australians are hot and Tyler looks hot and that's fun. So I was like "lol let's vote out a str8 yeah" and then Willow descended from the heavens on her hoverboard and was like "he str8 scum" and I can't believe I'm about to get voted out because I slandered heterosexuals.
Tumblr media
Guess who might be using their Jordan Pines idol! THIS GUY!!!!!!!!!!
Tumblr media
Yay my tribe won immunity. Queens! I just hope that we can keep winning because I haven't talked to anyone. God I need a better social game.
Tumblr media
" it will have juice and im living for juice" - Tyler 2k17 Heyo im alive! I was sent off to exile this round... And i came back with an Australian Super Idol! I was given the option to mutiny my tribe, but its a no from me, i tried convincing Ryan to come over but he has some sense in him so he didn't :(. The idol hunt was really intense, there was about 4 different clues leading other clues. It was an adventure and a half. So at 6am i found it! (With no sleep cause sleep is for the weak). Im not telling anyone about the advantage cause.... everyone's a ho. This whole tribal situation is very complicated with all the idols going around. I expect me to be a target this round so im 100% playing an idol considering i have two! I feel like if we just get 3 or 4 people to vote one person who won’t expect it we’ll be good it's hard because you want the vote to be unanimous so everyone feels included but this twist means we have to blindside someone every time Which means we might have to tell the person we vote for a name Yeah its going to be difficult But I bet the person getting the most votes will play an idol so if we just do our own little thing we should be good - My thoughts atm, also sent that to Jackson But now i think I'm going to vote for someone who would never guess that anyone else would vote for them, get rid of a juicy target while i can. Not sure if my vote will have any impact but it will have juice and im living for juice ;). No ones really chatting to me and im assuming most people will play their idols... so #YoloSwag
Tumblr media
Yay we won reward!!! Happy to start off on a good note. Sad tho that regan striked. Hope she starts trying more. But I guess it would be nice to have an inactive to vote if we lost a challenge. Trying to socialize with 8 other people is hard but I think I'm doing alright so I hope I've made no enemies.
Tumblr media
Tower 7 was a controlled demolition.
Tumblr media
Hi there~! I'm Kelsey Valentana Mikaelson, coming to you live and IN full HD colour~! And, what else, it's time for a tribal! Going into the tribal, I was kind of groaning since I was fully expecting to be targeted but alas; I don't think it's going to be me! Now, don't get me wrong, I get that "as soon as you think you're safe, you're GONE!" and all that, but the drama doesn't seem to be circulating around me on tonight, and it's a welcome change! I think, for the most part, people are more set on letting Isaac get the boot tonight, which...eh. I tried throwing Linus' name out there but it seemed to get a bad reaction. Oh well. I still don't want to see Isaac Thunderf*ck go tonight however and this idol twist is very well placed to prevent that. I told Isaac he might receive votes tonight but, for the main part, it's between Linus and Tyler. I think Isaac really genuinely trusts me but I can't tell him he's the majority because...well, I'm actually being SPOKEN to! It's such a weird thing to happen to me, usually I have to do all the bone bashing for myself, but people are actually coming to ME and telling me options, it's uncanny! I don't want there to be any chance AT all of me losing those resources. Speaking of resources, if I had to guess who's puppermaster-ing at this point, I'd look over at lil' Jackson over there. I thought it was sweet and romantic that he wanted to talk to me about the vote and, don't get me wrong, it makes me feel swell but NOT swell enough to realize that the people he suggested to me were the very names everyone else seemed to have "heard" and not came up with themselves. For the most part,  I think my best option is just not...being Krazy Kels and blasting it, but sweaty, I'm only going to be calling Ms. Jackson if she nasty, you feel me? All in all, I'm feeling rather confident about tonight. Either Isaac goes and everyone feels comfortable with telling me plans; Tyler goes who's just...slimey. Or Linus goes! Who's basically just here for the food, I feel. Anyways, say goodbye to Derrick or Kim Chi. And THAT'S all there is to it~! Christmas was ROBBED! -Kelsey V Mikaelson
Tumblr media
Hi I'm Jackson and this is my first Confessional. Okay so yeah about this tribe. Not sure how I feel. It's been helpful not having a One World twist (meaning I don't have an obligation to get to know the other tribe) but I haven't made a lot of connections here so it's kind of a wash. Quillynn is my babe and I hope people don't figure out how close we are (because I'm not turning on her anytime soon, that's for sure). Mo quickly pulled us in for an alliance, and while I like him, he's gotten a little attached to Tyler which is kinda messy. Akito is kind of strange but she's nice, and I think not many people talk to her so she's looking to work with me. I get paranoid vibes from Logan but otherwise I like him. Linus, Isaac and Kelsey have been barely active at all, which is problematic but it kind of makes me want them to stay over someone like Tyler (who I think is kind of a big threat). Either way we lost both challenges so that kinda sucks, although at least it means my friend Trixie is safe. Not that I don't want the other tribe to go to tribal at least once though. Any opportunity to finally vote Ryan M. out should be taken, as the students of Kvaloya learned the hard way. Oh by the way I hate this idol twist. I mean I'm probably gonna like it later on in the game when I want to vote out someone who's already used theirs, but for now, it sucks. The people I'm working with want to split the votes between Tyler and Isaac in case one of them idols, but I'm worried something could go wrong. Also it'd be awkward if Isaac went home and Tyler basically knew that he was the backup in case Isaac idoled (which is the truth of the situation, since Mo doesn't want Tyler out even though me and Q do). Okay I'm trying to get this done cause my friend wants to go to dinner so let's  end this here and hope I don't get voted out with like one vote lol
Tumblr media
(Late)
okay yoooooo I’m here I’m still recovering from the trauma of my last game so my heart is still healing and I’m not running on full steam at the moment so i haven’t really talked to anyone theres no one on this tribe that i really have clicked with which kinda sucks but its mostly my fault for not speaking to anyone but also no one reached out to me either so they all suck too!!!! we won the first reward and immunity so things are looking good hopefully we can maintain this momentum so that i have time to build some relationships before things set off!
VOTING CONFESSIONALS
Tumblr media
Tyler Kelsey voting you because both Tyler and Isaac are gonna play their idols. Maybe but this is a gamble and this vote is a throwaway. Might be me not gonna be surprised if it is everyone having idols is bad.
Tumblr media
(Voting for Tyler)  Tower 7 was a controlled demolition
Tumblr media

Tumblr media

SPOILER ALERT: This story contains plot details from Monday night’s season 3 finale of Better Call Saul, titled “Lantern.”
Chuck McGill was not exactly an easy character to like. He was priggish, self-righteous, bull-headed, and dismissive. He claimed to suffer from an allergy to electricity that prompted him to wear a space blanket around the house and to force all people who came into his orbit to surrender all electrical devices. This illness, however, was ultimately proven to him (in a public hearing) to be more mental than physical. Let us also not forget he ruined his brother’s chances at becoming a partner at his firm, in part because he always felt his brother unjustly accrued the lion’s share of love from their mother.
Chances are that you wished some form of comeuppance upon Chuck. But chances are that it wasn’t that.
At the end of Monday’s season 3 finale of Better Call Saul, Chuck (Michael McKean) apparently decided enough was enough, and instead of continuing to face his daunting demons, he gave into the darkest instinct of them, taking his own life by literal lantern light. The decision, made by someone clearly in an altered, tortured state, came as a shock after he recently confronted the realities of his illness and seemed committed to change, putting in the hard work with Dr. Cruz (Clea DuVall). The results were tangible. He was shopping for groceries again, and could even hold a lamp for a short time.
But after his ego-crushing exit from the law firm he co-founded — his longtime partner/ally, Howard (Patrick Fabian), couldn’t usher him out the door fast enough, handing him a $3 million check drawn from his own personal account — and after a devastating conversation with his brother Jimmy (Bob Odenkirk), the sibling with which he waged many moralistic wars and the one he dismissed from his house by saying, “You’ve never mattered all that much to me” — something in Chuck finally broke. (It was all the more surprising after Jimmy showed up at his house and Chuck looked as good as we’d seen him in recent years, listening to music, surrounded by electrical light, etc.)
After taking a pill and reviewing the journal where he tracked his progress in exposing himself to electricity for the last time, Chuck decided he just couldn’t do it anymore. He shut down the power in the house, unscrewing lightbulbs, and ripping his home down to the studs in search of the one last electrical charge that was causing his meter outside to keep ticking. He never found it, spiraling further into chilling mania. In the final moments of the episode, Chuck sat in his office in a numbed-out state, robotically slamming his foot into his desk, where a lantern was perched precariously on some papers. Finally, one of the kicks did the job, sending the lantern tumbling onto the ground and quickly setting the room ablaze, presumably marking a fiery end to a fiery character who stoked the ire of fans.
RELATED: Michael McKean explains that Chuck shocker in Better Call Saul finale
One can only imagine the damage this tragedy will have on Jimmy, who was destroyed by that conversation with Chuck, one in which his brother also urged him to acknowledge himself for who he truly was. (“In the end, you’re going to hurt everyone around you. You can’t help it. So stop apologizing and accept it. Embrace it.”) The battle for Jimmy’s soul, though, was still ongoing. He attempted to right last week’s wrong of using innocent old lady Irene as a sacrificial lamb in his desire for Sandpiper lawsuit money. He returned her to the good graces of her mall-walking friends by trashing himself, ending his own elder law career that waited on the other side of his one-year suspension. (Yet another piece of ground-laying track for Saul Goodman.)
RELATED: The Cast of Better Call Saul‘ on the Pressures of Following Breaking Bad’ Elsewhere in the episode, Kim (Rhea Seehorn) finally saw the light of workaholic ways after her dangerous car crash and decided to focus on her recovery. She also more than hinted at a future, or at least future office, with Jimmy. Meanwhile, the dark-but-weak-hearted Hector (Mark Margolis) almost met his maker but was resuscitated by Gus (Giancarlo Esposito). This marks the second curious sparing of Hector’s life in a year by Gus, wasting the efforts of fellow Salamanca haters Mike (Jonathan Banks) and Nacho (Michael Mando). One of these men is already starting to find himself in the employ of Gus; the other’s fate remains unclear.
There are plenty of questions surrounding “Lantern,” so let’s flip on the circuit breakers and dial Better Call Saul co-creator Peter Gould, who just might illuminate a light bulb or two over your head.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Let’s start at the tragic end. When did you decide you were going to kill Chuck? Or rather, that Chuck was going to kill Chuck? PETER GOULD: It happened during the season. We had a choice, and Chuck had a choice. After the midpoint of the season — that great episode “Chicanery” that Gordon Smith wrote — there was this powerhouse confrontation between Jimmy and Chuck, and Jimmy won. Chuck was humiliated and there were a lot of choices that we could have made at that point. One choice would have been to have Chuck redouble his efforts to get his brother, to try another round of tricks. That didn’t feel right, and it’s interesting — the moments that I find most satisfying in the writers’ room are the moments where the characters surprise us, and our first reaction, of course, was what I just said: “Okay, now how is Chuck going to bounce back and be even worse?”
And the more we talked about it, the more we thought about what a brilliant man Chuck is, and what he would actually take out of this experience. We came to the conclusion that maybe this could be in some ways good news for him. Maybe there’s a chance for growth, even? [Laughs.] So while Jimmy is kind of wallowing in his anger — the winner in the conflict is the angry one — Jimmy is pissed that he has to go to community service, he’s struggling to make ends meets and keep the office with Kim — Chuck actually takes what we always used to call his hero’s journey. He goes out of his safe house and goes out into the world and makes the call to Dr. Cruz [Clea DuVall]. And of course, Chuck previously has been vociferous in denying that there’s anything wrong with him other than sheerly a physical ailment. Chuck has been dead set on avoiding any confrontation with the medical establishment. Of course, the whole end of season 2 turned on that. But now Chuck is actually reaching out to this person who he’s never trusted and never liked, and he does some of the work. And you see it in subsequent episodes that he’s under this doctor’s care, he’s starting to make real progress to the point that in episode 8, you see him go out to the grocery store and get his own damn soymilk, which for some of us is not a big deal, but for Chuck, it’s the equivalent of climbing Mt. Everest barefoot and without oxygen.
That just all felt very natural, but we then realized that it’s one thing to make the choice to get help, but the bigger, more difficult problem in life is to carry through with change. And there’s really nothing more difficult than changing yourself. We’ve all tried it, it’s not easy to do, and under stress, as things continue in the season, Chuck reverts. Instead of taking it step by step as Dr. Cruz suggests, instead of really starting to understand himself in a deep way, he turns to the outside world and he starts blaming the outside world for what’s happening on his insides. Of course, the ultimate version of that is, after he has what might be the terrible final confrontation between the brothers, when Chuck says those terrible things to Jimmy, then he’s got an itch that he just can’t scratch. That’s when it all falls apart. And for me, one of the most heartbreaking moments in the finale is when he actually does call Dr. Cruz and there’s a moment where he could actually say, “I’m in crisis. I need help right now,” which is, by the way, what I would encourage anyone who’s in that position to do, but his pride won’t let him. Somehow, his pride keeps him from asking for help when he really needs it the most. And the results of that are, to my eye, tragic.
Now that he has been suspended from the law for a year, we’ve been asking a question in the second half of this season: Who is Jimmy McGill without the law? But for Chuck, in a way, he was nothing without the law. How much did Howard calling his bluff and removing him from the firm contribute to that downward spiral? And he really had no family left after what happened with Jimmy, including that devastating last conversation. What, in sum, led him to take his own life? It’s a little bit of a watercooler question: What drives Chuck to do what he does? I would point out, though, he is expelled from HHM with a giant bonus, and he still has his law license. As he said to Howard in the previous episode, he is getting better. There’s nothing to say that he couldn’t practice law himself. There’s nothing to say that he couldn’t turn around and try to hang his own shingle out in a very luxurious office or even join Schweikart & Cokely, or any of the other firms. There’s the possibility for renewal, and when Jimmy comes to Chuck’s house, Chuck is dressed properly, he’s listening to music, and he’s got it together enough to confront his brother and just cut him to the core. It’s only after he has that terrible scene with Jimmy that Chuck’s downward spiral begins. So to me, that means — however important what happened at HHM might have been — somehow it’s the scene with Jimmy that’s the trigger.
