Warnings For This Chapter: Revelations
Tumblr media
There's a long pause just seemingly waiting in the wind this afternoon as Jeongguk puts on his dress shirt.
The recent wedding events clarified just how in love he is with you. He's protective and emotionally charged with anything and everything that has to do with you. Standing up to the people that tore you down only solidified how far he would go to make you comfortable.
He would have beat Jasper into the lower rings of hell for even looking at you wrong.
He almost did.
So now as he gets ready for his trip to the office he's worked for for years, he isn't afraid to think that this will take a burdensome load off of his shoulders.
"Almost ready?" you inquire, peeking into the walk in closet.
"Yeah, I'm good to go," he breathes, grabbing his watch and turning toward you.
A smile creeps over his handsome face, watching how you lean against the door frame with both of your arms crossed curiously.
"What?" you ask, lifting your hand to brush off any crumbs that might be on your face.
Your boyfriend strides over, taking your hand as it inches upward and bends down to press his forehead against yours.
"You're beautiful and I love you," Guk whispers, closing his eyes.
"I love you too," you reply, wrapping your arms around his waist.
"That's all I need," he murmurs, pressing his chin to the top of your head and sighing happily.
Tumblr media
Stepping into At Your Service, Guk is hit with the overwhelmingly familiar scent of vanilla and jasmine. It brings back nostalgia in waves and he can almost remember the exact day he began working here.
He was wearing these grey slacks that were way too big for him and a cardigan that was pimply and knitted weirdly. He didn't know anyone and all he knew was that fucking was making him a lot of money already. Now years later, strolling past the front desk with a black striped dress shirt that has three buttons open and fitted black dress pants that accentuate his thick thighs, he's come a long way.
"Lydia," he greets pleasantly.
She gives him a polite nod, not really looking up from her magazine.
She was always the only receptionist that had dignity about her.
"Hey," she murmurs, grabbing her sparkling water.
He continues down the long hallways, sometimes casually peeking into one of the clear office rooms where a random woman or two is meeting their next date or hook up.
Now that Guk thinks about it… this is all so impersonal.
'Hey, how are you doing?'
'I'm doing fine, thanks. And you?'
'I'm great. Wanna bang?'
It's astounding.
He consciously chooses to take the path that would keep him away from Jimin and Taehyung. He doesn't feel like hearing Tae's mouth and he's not in the mood to listen to Chjm ramble on today.
He just wants to get in here, say his peace and go home with you to cuddle and fornicate until he's spent under silk sheets.
The father of your child nods to a few of his other coworkers that aren't in meetings, taking in their fresh faced looks.
He's been here such a long time that some of these faces he doesn't even remember.
Finally, he comes to the two cloudy glass double doors that he's been seeking and he knocks gently but firmly in hopes that he's heard.
"Yeah? Come in."
With the order, he gently pushes in the door.
He hasn't seen the inside of this office for years. It's changed a lot since Guk has been here.
Rounding the desk is the man Jeon Jeongguk has known since his college days. He's decked out in a three piece suit, his blonde hair slicked back just enough where it doesn't look greasy and he has this air about him that bleeds money and begs for people to fuck with him.
"Tony," Guk greets professionally, extending his hand.
"Oh stop that shit!" Tony laughs, he grabs Guk's forearm with a friendly smile and the father of your child does the same, giving a big smile back.
"Sit down, dude! Please!" Tony fawns, waltzing over to the drinks caddy he's had time to put in since his parent's were the owners.
Your fiance does as told, looking around the professional office shortly before turning back to the man he's known for years.
He watches him pour two big glasses of whisky before striding over to the glass desk and sliding it across.
"So what's up, my man? You look really good these days! I've seen your numbers, I knew you would be perfect for this even back in our good ol' college days!"
Guk doesn't want to take a trip down memory lane. He doesn't need the reminder.
"I wanted to come in and talk with you because-"
"Is it the old cronies we're sending you out to? Cause they request you, dude. I get it, the old bags aren't the kind of eye candy you want to be having to go out and meet but they do have cash," Tony interrupts, lifting his glass with a wink.
"Oh. No. I don't care about that, some of them were really nice. I'm just here to tell-"
"That's good! As long as the cash is flowing then daddy's happy!"
Guk forgot just how annoying Tony can be and right now it's coming back in waves. In college, he's not sure anyone the blonde man was talking to could ever get their point of view across -- ever.
The father of your child chuckles awkwardly, taking a sip of his whisky to quell the frizzled nerves that are starting to sprout up.
"So what can I do for you, big dog? How can I help one of my star money makers? Cause that's what you are. A star," Tony chuckles, clapping his hands loudly and rubbing them together in some sort of bizarre, seemingly gross manner.
"I just need to tell you that I'm q-"
"Do you want a raise? Is that it? Because I can get you a raise! It might make poorer women look over you in the look book but I can do that for you!"
Guk sighs softly, shaking his head at the sheer ridiculousness of it all.
Holy shit, the escort feels like his head is going to explode.
How can one person be so infuriating? Jesus Christ.
"I am quitting!" Jeongguk enunciates, holding up his hand and pressing his index and thumb together.
The look on Tony's face is like he just got shot. His perfectly handsome features twist and change into pure shock and horror at the words. His mouth drops open and he blinks several times for it to sink in.
"What?" Tony hisses, standing up. He begins to pace behind his large desk chair, propping his hand beneath his chin, "Big dog, you're my star quarterback here! You're my team captain! You can't quit, dude! You've worked here for years! Look, man, if it's the money I can get you more money! I can get you hotter clients that want to bone. I can-"
Now it's Jeongguk's turn to interrupt and it's written all over his face how good that feels.
"I'm getting married and I have a baby on the way, I don't want to be an escort anymore," he simply states, finishing off his whisky with a cringe.
Tony stops pacing to turn around. "Oh, man. That's crazy. It's crazy cool, though! I mean… congratulations that's super sick but… I'm just surprised I'm losing you like this!"
Guk simply shrugs, fixing his watch. "It's gonna give me peace of mind and ultimately make me happier so I have to do it for myself."
The blonde man nods, holding up a finger before digging into the desk. "Here! Take this!"
He holds out a couple of thousand dollars and Guk tilts his head. "Tony, no. I'm not taking your m-"
"Oh, come on! It's a wedding and baby gift! I've known you for like a million years! Take the damn money, big dog! You deserve it!" Tony insists, shaking his hand.
Guk sucks an unsure breath between his teeth, grabbing the money. "Thank you, it's very kind of you."
"Yeah, I'm a giver," the blonde man agrees, sitting back down at his desk, "Y'know Applehyme is gonna be crushed."
Guk laughs then, rolling his eyes at the prospect of the older woman. "I think she'll be just fine."
Tony chuckles, folding his arms. "It was a pleasure to have you work for me, man. Really. You're dope."
The father of your child blinks. "Yeah… you too… man."
The boss smiles widely, winking at him. "Go on. Go have a real life then."
"Thanks," Guk mumbles, putting the money in his pocket.
As he goes to leave, his attention is called back to Tony as he grabs the door handle.
"Yo, Guk?!"
He turns his attention as he opens the door, tilting his head.
"Is your girl hot?"
The father of your child snorts softly, catching himself as he goes to roll his eyes. "Super hotm very gorgeous."
"Niiiiice, big dog. Very nice!"
As Guk leaves the office, he feels as if he's stepped out of a frat boy alternate universe and he can only shake his head at the past encounter.
That man has not changed for a single damn second. That's crazy.
He begins his brisk walk back to the car where you wait for him and he goes over the meeting once more and all that's transpired.
He never once remembered Tony like that and now that he has he can't stop thinking about it.
It's really astounding how people stay stuck in their ways for years on end. He wonders if the blonde man has ever gotten married, he wasn't paying attention to a wedding band but he doesn't seem like the type to settle. Although, Guk could be wrong and he's a super loyal guy to his woman.
Tony is kind of an enigma.
As Guk climbs back into the car, he greets you with a gentle kiss before sliding his hand over your stomach.
"How did it go?" you inquire, pushing some of his hair back.
"It was like a blast from the past. Wasn't terrible, though," he announces, kissing your temple.
"Well, that's good!" you cheer happily, giving him a smile.
"You would never interrupt me when I'm talking, right, baby girl?" he asks, putting on his seatbelt.
"No, that's rude," you breathe, starting the car up.
"Yeah… it is," he murmurs, lacing your fingers together.
Tumblr media
It isn't everyday you get to go out to a lovely fancy dinner with the father of your child. Nor is it normal for his two best friends to show up either.
This feels good though, it feels healthy and you like that.
From the moment you stepped out of your closet, Guk cannot keep his hands off of you. Your dress is incredibly short, incredibly revealing showing off all the swollen, wonderful body parts that are growing because of his baby and the dress is tight enough around your stomach to make you seem probably more pregnant than you are.
He's obviously very happy with the choice of clothing and you're very proud that he is.
The private room that shelters you while you eat in this luxurious restaurant gives him enough courage to constantly have his hand dipping between your thighs as he talks to his two friends.
You were surprised Taehyung showed up and so was Guk to be honest. Maybe Tae is getting over the pain of having him taken away. You can only hope.
"I'm happy to see you," Guk tells the handsome man, leaning back in his chair with his glass of scotch close to his face.
God, everything he does is just so attractive. How does anyone in the world stand a chance when Jeon Jeongguk exists?
"Yeah I didn't know if I should come. I was an asshole lately," Tae bleats, combing his fingers through his hair.
Jimin just folds his arms, shrugging at you with a toothpick snuggly between his plush lips.
Guk tilts his head and sips his scotch unsure of what to say other than agreeing. "What's so wrong with me being happy, Tae? Everyone makes mistakes. You're not above it all. You know that."
"No, I know!" Taehyung agrees quickly, watching how your fiance angles himself closer to you to drift his hand over your stomach, "I was just feeling bitter."
"Why?"
The question is so simple and you and Jimin almost choke on your own spit at the word. Jimin hastily guzzles water while you find it apt to shove a piece of buttered bread into your mouth.
Guk doesn't seem to notice, taking his friend's thoughts and feelings as the most important thing right now.
The handsome man across the table from him simply shakes his head. "I just… I can't tell you. I don't want to ruin our friendship even more then--"
"You didn't ruin our friendship! Don't say that! I invited you here tonight, didn't I? Please… Tae… C'mon," Guk practically begs, wanting so eagerly to understand what's been going on.
Sure, it's one thing to be protective and defensive of your friend but to be that vicious about it? It's concerning.
Taehyung sighs heavily, picking up his expensive brandy and guzzling it for liquid courage of some kind.
He shakes his head, seeming like he's having some deep inner conflict.
You decide to just look down at your lap, tracing the outline of your stomach that seems to peek out in this tight dress.
Jimin guzzles his own drink, closing his eyes at the thoughts swimming through his mind.
"Tae?"
"Just hold on!" he snaps, running his now sweaty palms over his suit pants.
Jeongguk widens his eyes, taking a sip of his scotch wordlessly.
"I just… am very protective of you. I…" the handsome man stops himself before starting again, "Jimin and I have been a thing and we were wondering if you wanted to be a thing with us but then you started dating and I got upset."
You nod to yourself for a moment, happy that the truth has come out and that it can stay that way but then there's silence.
There's silence for a long time.
An incredibly long time.
You don't have the courage to look up at the rest of the people at the table so you just sit patiently and wait for someone to say something.
"What do you mean 'a thing'?" Jeongguk inquires finally.
His voice is very hollow and short, not judgemental but inquisitive.
"A relationship thing. We fuck… often," Jimin clarifies and when the youngest's eyes snap to his, he makes himself smaller in his chair.
"How long?" Jeongguk asks, folding his arms.
"Three, almost four years," Tae murmurs, staring down at his plate.
"FOUR YEARS," Guk booms.
You look up quickly to see the sparkling water within your glass quaking at the force of his voice.
Taehyung and Jimin both flinch in kind, staring down.
Guk runs his hands over his face, taking a deep breath to steady the betrayal and nerves within him.
When he stands, your eyes follow him. He stalks towards the private room double doors, the muscles in his back are tense.
He grips the door handle for a moment before collecting himself and turning around.
"Listen to me," he calls to his best friends, they both turn to him with weary eyes and he sighs at the sight, "I'm not mad you're in a relationship. I'm happy about that. If you guys are happy then that's great. You know I don't judge, I've done stuff with guys before understanding it wasn't for me. But I'm fucking pissed that you hid this from me for four years! And I understand if it's something you're not ready to tell the world yet. I understand that. But I still feel betrayed and hurt. Period."
He leaves the room in a single second and you shift awkwardly in your chair.
Taehyung goes to stand but Jimin simply plants a hand on his chest. "He's not ours to look after anymore. Y/N is his choice."
The handsome man diagonally from you looks over at you and the wicked gaze you expect to get doesn't happen. He nods understandingly, grabbing Guk's drink and chugging it all with a flinch.
You slowly stand up and make your way out of the room, looking for Guk through the now busy, loud restaurant. You check in certain little alcoves but ultimately step outside only to find him sitting on one of the benches near the front door. His head is down between his knees and his hands are in his hair.
The night air is brisk and chilly, sending goosebumps shooting up over your skin. When you approach, Guk looks up.
"You're gonna catch a cold, baby! What're you doing out here!" he hisses, pulling off his suit jacket and standing up in a flash.
He wraps the jacket around you, running his hands over your arms to transfer some semblance of warmth. You simply hug him tightly and he sighs loudly above you.
Jeongguk buries his face in your hair, eyes fluttering shut. You can feel his heart hammering inside his chest but you stay silent.
"Fuck," he curses, hugging you tighter.
"They're happy," you whisper in his ear and he solemnly nods, pressing his face into your sweet smelling neck.
"Good. They deserve to be, it's just going to take me a minute to wrap my brain around it," Guk replies, taking a large calming breath.
The truth is out now and there's nowhere to go from here but up.

am i the original, the remains, or the later writing?
Fresh off my first watching of Sophomore Year, I was desperate for more Nightmare Forest-esque content for my beloved bad kids. Thankfully, I immediately stumbled upon @gilears fic Over and Through! I absolutely adored this fic, bingereading it in one go, and knew I needed to show my love and feelings somehow!!
So here are the six bad kids' personal hells, shown in my order of reading!

Imagine Ayda having a nervous habit where she bites the dead skin off of her lips. This causes her to often have chapped lips without realizing. Fig immediately notices and instead of telling her, she always motions for Ayda to rest her head in her palm, and Fig applys the chapstick for her ♡

Random question but what do you think has been the best arc of tbhk? Is it the one you enjoy the most?
The best arc was picture perfect, we got Hanako at his best (he was built for an antagonistic role and I say this with the utmost pride), good characterization for EVERYONE, and Mei! Mei's story is so good, the conclusion made me go 'oh' out loud.
My favorite/the one I enjoy the most is the Grim Reaper arc, or the clock keepers! (The one of chap 23-27, the current one is my least favorite)

ok ive been wanting to ask this for a while but i didnt know if youd be able to answer since its giving a lot away.. but f it lmao. does ravenstan know jersey kyle is HIS kyle? bc he hasnt said anything but how many ginger jewish jersey boys are there named kyle matthew broflovski hsjjdks im assuming one
ooooooh. ok...Hm.
so, i stared at this for a while and...
you know what, my friend? i should, one, prolly stop randomly jumping the line of 34973 ask memes in my box whenever i get a new one bc i get super excited & have no attention span, but also this is...Important.
and tbh, one of the Big reasons that rm got so tricky for me was because i got overly anxious about the timeline, too worried abt what sequence of events the fic should follow/what things should you know and when, etc. so i actually have a lot of random rm itinerary/lore that i wrote that i was going to drop you guys in other chapters but wasn't sure if it was...Time yet?
buuuuut given that posting to my ao3 has been super stressful for me as of late/i'm still trying to ease back into it/i feel more posting comfortable stuff on here -- combined with the serious bummer that i can't really write updates in the sorry shape i’m in rn with settling into my new workplace and grappling with my mental health/healing my complex feelings abt writing
which is a Serious Bummer indeed because i try to be as fun and zesty as possible in my ask responses, but i really want to give you all something more solid to Read, you know?
so this is my little compromise for you. :)
basically i wrote this little scene thingy like a month ago and Almost put it at the beginning of rm6...but it was too complicated and i was like maybe i should wait, idk...
but i am feeling chaotic today!~
and the fact you guys care enough about my weird little fanfictions to regularly send me thoughtful, kind, excited messages abt it even when my updates are few and far between — idk, that means so much to me. you all mean a lot to me…and you guys know i am unhinged and cannot resist posting snippets/spoilery things.
so…i’m closing my eyes!! but also it’s not a spoiler if i was going to post this earlier Anyways…right? dhsksks
( if you want to read it it’s under the cut w/ more info xx )
it is however…a draft. it’s really…not that good. like i said i was going to fix it / rewrite it when i figured out where i wanted it to go, but i wanted to answer your question without saying too much about it sooo i think this little scene thing should tell you/give you the information you seek while also keeping you confused/interested?
maybe?? idk?? i’m sweating, smh.
( some of lines just ended up re-written in my actual fic so if they look familiar that’s why — ANYWAYS! )
the Context is actually abt Kyle’s CRIMINA LAUR class, which if you rem(ember), jersey was writing an essay that was due at midnight but got rizzed too hard by raven and passed out and couldn’t turn it in!!! jersey kyle was ready to fight for his life ( aka lie out of his ass abt why his essay didn’t get uploaded w/o mentioning crimson dawn bc Ew ) but mr. mackey said that a Compelling Case was submitted upon his behalf by a
Third Party
and waved the missing homework assignment, where, in the section where kyle would have uploaded a copy of his essay, a video had been uploaded and submitted.
here’s the beginning of it
also jersey is in his pajamas, his hair is up, he looks radiant, he’s red bc having some box wine and his eye is twitching btw — pls tell me you can see it — also this was either going to go up before the hate or after it so i don’t think the time frame matters — this is just part of what happened while kyle was passed out back stage )
anyways! *jersey vc* Cheers! Mazel <3
