Takato Tasuku SSR: Training Camp Backstage Story - Spring Boys’ Night! (Petals Flutter, You Slumber)

In which Tsuzuru suffers...

Tsumugi: The hot water is nice... Itaru: Yeah, it relieves the fatigue from the day. The dorm's baths are big, but the hot springs are on another level. Azuma: This hot spring is great for your skin too. Chikage: So alcohol has been prepared as well? Hisoka: ...I'll have some. Chikage: I might as well have some too. Tasuku: Azuma-san and Mikage can take quite a bit... but you're no enemy to liquor either, huh? Masumi: ...... Sakuya: Masumi-kun? What are you so restless for? Masumi: She must be in the women's bath too. What if someone's peeping... Tsuzuru: You worry too much... Masumi: ....I'm going to check up on her. Tsuzuru: You'll just end up being the peeper! Homare: Aromatic bubbles, the heart free of troubles, a healing star, flowing grace's hot water! Guest A: Ooh, I don't really get it, but that was a smooth song. Guest B: It makes you feel happy. Won't you let us hear more? Homare: Of course! You shall be fully healed by the synergy effect of my poems and the hot springs. Citron: Oh! Homare's poems are a big hit with the grandpas!

Sakuya: I feel plenty nice and warm. Hisoka: Ungh... Tasuku: Good grief, Mikage was carelessly soaking for too long... Tsumugi: Once Hisoka-kun noticed, he was surprised by how dizzy he was. Itaru: Good job to the carrier. Azuma: I'd like to drink a little more. Should we open that local sake once we get back to our room? Homare: That sounds great, I shall join you. We need to prepare something to snack on. Tsuzuru: Chikage-san, you took of your glasses in the hot springs, right? But it didn't seem like you had trouble seeing... Are they just for appearances after all? Citron: In truth, the glasses are just for show and you've put in contact lenses, right? Chikage: I wonder, which is it? Masumi: It seems like the Director hasn't returned yet... I'm worried whether she's being peeped at... Itaru: You're still on about that? Masumi: As I thought, I'd better check-- Sakuya: Woah, you can't, Masumi-kun! You can't go into the women's bath!

Tsuzuru: Alright then. It's a little early, but should we call it a day? Tsumugi: Yeah. We were planning on doing morning practice tomorrow as well. Citron: No, no! I'm not tired yet! And we still haven't talked about love or played trump yet! Tasuku: We practiced really diligently and had a performance today as well. You should be worn out. Homare: Hm, that's right. If you don't rest up properly and restore your spirits at times, you won't be able to cultivate a good work of art. Azuma: Staying up late isn't good for your skin either. Hisoka: ... Let's play trump tomorrow. Citron: Ugh... fine. Azuma: We'll be going up then. Night. Sakuya: Okay, good night.

Tsuzuru: (Hah, today was really tiring, I will be able to sleep like a baby...) Masumi: ...Ah, cute... Her Insta... I'll save it once more. Itaru: Hell yeah! Passed the boss fight~. Tsuzuru: ..... Citron: Speed! Sakuya: I, I can't see well~...! Chikage: ...... Tsuzuru: ...for the love of! Shut up! It's getting on my nerves - there's no way I could sleep. Itaru: Well, it's only 10PM. This is when the golden time of games starts. Chikage: I still have a few things I want to do as well. Citron: Secretly playing trump and hiding it from the teacher is the best part of a training camp! Sakuya: S, sorry! Because Citron-san said that, I felt like I could play just a little... Masumi: Because of the hot spring, I'm wide-awake. Tsuzuru: You just do as you please! Tsuzuru: Geez...

Tsuzuru: Excuse me. Tsumugi: Oh, Tsuzuru-kun? You're carrying your pillow and your futon... What happened? Tsuzuru: The thing is, the guys downstairs have no intention of sleeping... they're so noisy that I can't sleep. Tsuzuru: Could you let me sleep on the 2nd floor? I'm fine with the corner. Tsumugi: Ahaha, so that's how it is. Tasuku: We don't particularly mind. There's plenty of free space. Hisoka: Ungh... welcome, Tsuzuru... Tsuzuru: Thank you. Sorry for the intrusion. Azuma: Fufu, if you like, I could sleep next to you? Homare: Or I could recite a lullaby poem... Tsuzuru: No, I will pass on both...

Tsuzuru: (Sure enough, Winter Troupe is really quiet... I can probably get some sound sleep.) Tsuzuru: ...... Homare: *muttering*...it's art...hm....? Aha...! Homare: Brilliant blossom, light samgyetang, slightly drunk on fruity wine...! [1] Tsuzuru: A, Arisugawa-san? Are you awake? Homare: ...*mumbling*...ungh.... Tsuzuru: Sleep-talking!? But the others shouldn't be able to sleep this way either... Tsumugi: Zzz... Tasuku: ngh...ungh... Hisoka: Srnnk.... Azuma: h....h.... Tsuzuru: Are you serious!?... Tsuzuru: But the first floor is...

Masumi: Hah... no matter how often I look at her, she is too cute... Itaru: Shit, these small fry are too annoying. But I did get the materials, so what's left is to reinforce my weapons... Sakuya: Yay, it's my win! Citron: Oh, I lost~! Revenge! Sakuya, one more time! Chikage: ...... Tsuzuru: (...either floor is hell...)

Izumi: Good morning, guys~. Tasuku: Morning. Homare: Hm~ it's a great morning! Masumi: Mornin'. You are cute today too... Chikage: Morning, Director. Tsuzuru: ....good morning.... Izumi: Tsu, Tsuzuru-kun? For some reason, you have bags under your eyes... Homare: Oh, Tsuzuru-kun, what's wrong? Did you not get much sleep? Itaru: We've got practice today, so isn't it inconvenient if you're sleep deprived? Citron: Tsuzuru, you need to sleep properly~. Tsuzuru: Whose fault do you think it is?!

[rumor-imbris]

To keep your mind busy while you're in a train.

Besides Connor (your sweetheart) do you like another assassin?

Any future fic of Mary and Connor?

Which part you find it difficult: the writing of the novel or the research on how it was the New World in the 18th Century?

~From the fatina 😊 ✨

Giulietta, my sweet fairy! Here I am, I'm sooo late, sorry! Connection was really bad on board the train because of the many tunnels, then I was tired to death and fell asleep! UoU zzZ So, thank you so much for your ask. Wow, how many questions! Let's start...

1. Ezio was the one who started it all for me, he was my mentor ^-^ righ before I found my soulmate in the Mowhak Valley (▰˘◡˘▰) So, yes, I can say a very affectioned one is Ezio; like for anyone else, I guess, he enters your heart, makes you a novice and never leaves you. I also had a big crush on him in the beginning, (again like everybody!) but you know I'm very jelous by nature, so it couldn't work between us xD!!! And then you came and he fell for you! Oh, and his sister Claudia! i think she's amazing and I'm one of those poeple who think she deserved a spin-off game! Claudia inspired me a lot to create Mary's path in my AC3 FF novel!

Adewhale is also an assassin I really loved, very well written, tenacious and amazing, very underrated. I really liked that in "Freedom Cry" you're not motivated by money or resources, but in terms of freed slaves; it represents very well Ade's purpose, I think.

And then, of course Grandpa Edward! I'm not a big fan of AC IV Black Flag, but grandpa is grandpa! In my headcanon AU Grandpy Eddy is still alive and so proud of his grandson captain of the Aquila ★~(◡‿◡✿) 2. Mmhh... I have something on my mind. The main story is concluded, but I was thinking of writing some separate episodes, little adventures, maybe one where they sail to England, a new OC and fragments of their life before and after the journey North. We'll see. Some things are well shaped already on my mind, other less, but as always, I think I'll start writing only when I think it's the right moment ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ

3. This is a good and interesting question. As I wrote here many times, writing the whole novel was a super hard thing on its own, it took a lot of motivation. I had to force myself thinking that this was something I wanted to do for myself, no matter the purpose or gaining nothing useful out of all of the work it could have taken, it was all about me and my passion. Also it took almost three years and during that time many things evolved and changed, in between which I had one of the worst moments of my life and the writing process was completely ceased, until things started to align in a more positive way and I felt like going on writing again and concluding the story. It happens, I guess. The most difficult part, however, for me was the naval language. Historical research for a period writing is never easy, I've been there before, for other stuff I wrote in the past, and this time most of that part was in the main game already. The naval technical language though is... tough! Also I had to search terms both in Italian and then in English, as they are very different! It was hard, but I learnt a lot. The world of the ships, vessels, frigates, brigantines and so on is extremely fascinating, but it's a real maze! You could easily end up losing yourself and making mistakes, especially when it comes to describe battles in open sea and list the cannon types, the shots, the directions and all the sailors' terms the case requires! Furthermore, about Mary, I always tried to keep in mind that she is a young lady in the 18th century. A very difficult time for women, mainly ruled by men, when people thought that a girl's only purpose in life (even a wealthy one) was to get married well and give birth. I don't want to spoil too much, but I mentioned an important figure of Feminism and progressive thinking back then, I hope you might want to read until the end to find out who she is!

Sorry for the very long answers, I hope everything is clear and exhaustive! Thanks again for the ask, come visit me again whenever your curiosity wishes to!

Little White Lie

Jumin x MC Week

Day Seven: Birthday

10/5/17

MC tells Jumin she’s taking her midterms all day when she is actually planning his birthday party.

Happy Birthday, darling Jumin and thank you, @juminmcweek, for hosting an amazing week.

Word Count: 2667

I couldn’t help myself.

I bought over one hundred purple and white balloons and tied them around the penthouse, somehow not waking Jumin up and somehow managing not to pop any of them. My phone vibrated; more messages poured into the messenger.

MC has entered the chatroom

Jaehee: MC, hello.

Zen: Good morning, MC!

Yoosung: Our coordinator has arrived!

Zen: So, are we still doing this?

Yoosung: MC! The venue is still being set up, Jaehee and I have just finished setting up the balloons!

Jaehee: Hah…yes, that part is done. I really like your suggestion of bringing whatever we wanted to bring, MC…it was a relief, not having to contact several catering companies.

MC: Good morning everyone! Yes Zen, this is still happening! Yoosung, thank you so much! And Jaehee, that just makes today even more genuine for him! Has Saeyoung appeared at the site yet?

Jaehee: Not yet. I will let you know when he shows up.

MC: Thank you! I’ll be down there as soon as I can, I just need to keep Jumin believing I have midterms all day.

Yoosung: Lying to Jumin? That’s gotta be a difficult task…

MC: You’re telling me. But, he seemed to believe me yesterday, and I’ve hidden everything from him thus far, so maybe I’ll get away with it.

Zen: He should be grateful that we’re throwing this party for him instead of being sour about you lying, MC. Thanks to you, we’re able to celebrate his birthday, with actual balloons and cake and stuff.

V has entered the chatroom.

MC: V!

V: Good morning. Jaehee, Yoosung, I’m at the location, where are you guys?

Yoosung: Behind the curtain!

Jaehee: We need to finish setting everything up. See you soon, MC.

Jaehee Kang has left the chatroom.

Jumin groaned and reached out, his hands repetitively patting the space where I normally slept.

MC: Guys, I should go, Jumin is starting to wake up.

Zen: He needs to realize how lucky he is to have you…

Yoosung: Stop being jealous of him.

Zen: I’m not!

MC: See you guys soon!

I sighed out of the messenger, crawled onto the bed, and gently kissed his eyelids.

“Happy birthday, my prince.” I hummed.

He groaned and slowly opened his eyes. I lightly traced his eyebrows and smiled. “I made you breakfast.”

Jumin sat up, a sleepy smile gracing his features. “Good morning, my darling.”

My phone vibrated again and I hastily silenced it. “Come on. I made you a sausage omelet!” I tried to pull Jumin out of bed, but he was stronger than me; he pulled me onto his chest and wrapped his arms around me.

“Thank you for cooking. For now, I want to roll around in bed with you.”

“Jumin…” I felt sweat break out on the back of my neck. “…Jumin, I can’t really do that right now.”

“Why not?” his voice was still masked with sleep and I had to fight off the temptation of doing the unexplainable to him so early in the morning.

“I have to go to school today. I have midterms all day.”

“…Ah…I remember you told me yesterday.” Jumin sighed heavily.

“I know…but, I’ll finish them all super-fast so I can come home to you and we can spend the rest of the day together.”

“Don’t rush them on my behalf.” Jumin scolded. “You want to get good grades on them. Though grades technically don’t matter, it’s all about whether you understand the material and grades shouldn’t be a factor of your understanding.”

“Preach.” I kissed his cheek. “You know what, screw college.”

He looked at me.

“…I’m still gonna go though, I need to pass.”

Jumin lightly pecked the side of my head. “Will you eat with me?”

“Of course, I will.” I pulled him up. “But you need to get up first.”

“Here, let me.” Jumin put my gloves on my hands and gently secured a heavy scarf around my neck. I squeezed his forearm and pulled him down, lightly teasing him with light pecks to his lips.

“I’ll hurry back.”

“I’ll be cheering for you.” Jumin returned my kisses and I tried not to look into his eyes. If I did, the truth would be revealed.

He always knew how to pry the truth out of me, just by looking into my eyes.

“I’m off!” I secured my backpack over my shoulder and left the penthouse. Jumin’s bodyguards led me downstairs, where Driver Kim was waiting.

“Good morning, Miss.”

“Good morning!”

“To the secret location?”

I nodded enthusiastically and off we went.

“MC, you’re here!” Yoosung ran towards me and I pulled him into a light hug. The venue was perfect, almost magical; balloons graced nearly every corner, everybody’s gifts to Jumin were neatly stacked, streamers were dangling from the ceiling, and fairy lights were strewn about, lightly feeding into the atmosphere.

“You guys did an amazing job, it’s so beautiful! Do you think Jumin will like it?”

“He’d better like it.” Zen pulled me into a light side hug and stretched. “Those streamers were difficult to put up there, so he’d better appreciate everything.”

“I bought snacks for you guys.” I opened my backpack and gave Zen and Yoosung wrapped sandwiches. “Where are Jaehee and V?”

“Behind that curtain there. Seven is here, too.”

“Ah, perfect!” I grabbed my backpack and ran to the back.

“Ah, MC, you’re here!” Jaehee beamed.

“Did Jumin figure it out yet?” V asked teasingly.

“…I want to say I covered my tracks pretty thoroughly, but nothing really gets past him.” I scrunched my nose.

“Maybe you were successful!” V smiled.

I stared at him.

“…Okay, maybe not.”

“Now is not the time to worry about that. MC, everything is set up, and we have most of the foods refrigerated. Did you bring the cake?”

I delicately pulled the cake out of my backpack and set it down. “Somehow, I managed to keep it all in tact!”

“Did you make it? It looks really cute.” V leaned over and carefully observed it.

“Thank you for thinking so! Hah…well, since everything is set up, maybe I should go and get him…” I looked down at my watch. “…or is it too early…?”

“Nim!!” Seven embraced me from behind, nearly knocking me over.

“Saeyoung!! Thank you so much for coming!”

“I couldn’t miss Jumin’s birthday party!”

“Actually,” V lightly tapped his chin. “this is the first birthday party he’s had since he was little.”

“That trust fund kid has had his fair share of parties to make up for it.” Zen strode in with Yoosung.

“Don’t be like that, Zen. Jumin didn’t bitch and moan when it was your birthday.” Saeyoung scolded.

“Yeah, he fed me cat food.” Zen pouted.

“Come on Zen, don’t be a spoil-sport.” I hugged his arm. “At least try to be a bit more festive? Please?”

“…I can’t deny you, MC.” Zen smiled down at me fondly. “All right, let’s make this party a success!”

“Yeah!!” Yoosung howled and threw confetti into the air.

“I really want to grab him right now, he’s probably up in the penthouse working…” I glanced back down at my watch. “…are you sure everything is done and there’s nothing else I can do?”

“Everything has been taken care of.” Jaehee tapped her notepad with her pen. “You could get him now, MC, but wouldn’t that feed into his suspicion about your…ehm…midterms?”

“Like it matters!” Saeyoung smiled. “Just say that you’re a genius and managed to knock all of them out really fast!”

“If you feel uneasy, MC, you could just hang out here with us for a couple of hours.” V lightly placed his hand on my shoulder.

Zzz Zzz. I looked down at my phone and saw a blurry photo of Jumin holding Elizabeth the 3rd. The caption under the photo read, “Don’t rush. Do your best.”

“What’s that?” Saeyoung leaned in and viewed the picture.

“…I think he bought my lie.”

V chuckled softly. “Don’t be too confident.”

Three hours had passed, and I couldn’t stop my leg from bouncing. Finally, I could bring him to the venue, but I couldn’t help but be nervous about the whole thing.

“Deep breaths, in~” Yoosung inhaled. “and out~”

“It’s cute how you still get nervous when it comes to Jumin.” V patted my head. “He doesn’t bite!”

“Hah…hahaha.” I ran my hand over my neck. “Yes, he does.”

“…I don’t want to know about that!!” Zen hollered.

“Then…I’m going to go and get him now! Everyone, you know your positions?”

“Check!”

“Got it.”

“Yes, ma’am!”

“Okay…see you guys soon!!”

I arrived at the doorstep and the door immediately flung open. Jumin beamed down at me and embraced me tightly; I didn’t hesitate and embraced him with all my might.

“Welcome home, darling. How did your midterms go?” Jumin kissed my forehead and stroked the back of my hands.

“They went well! I think I aced all of them!”

“That’s my girl.” His eyes shone. “Come inside, I have wine and cheese out.”

“Actually, Jumin, I’d like to bring you somewhere.”

“Where?”

“Come on.” I pulled his hand and led him to the car. “Don’t be alarmed, okay?”

Jumin’s brows furrowed. “MC, what –”

I secured a blindfold around his eyes delicately and tied it quickly, trying not to arouse any suspicion from him. “Jumin, you trust me, right?”

“Of course I do.” His hand lightly hovered over mine. I held onto it, nodded at Driver Kim, and off we went.

“Just lean on me.” I whispered into his ear. “I’ll guide you.”

Jumin nodded and squeezed my hand. “Lead the way.”

As soon as we arrived at the venue, I pulled Jumin out of the car and led him up the steps.

“Okay, I’ll be right back.” I tried release Jumin’s hand, but he just held on tighter.

“Why is it so dark?” Jumin kept looking around, his mouth slightly ajar.

“Trust me.” I kissed the back of his hand and eased my hand out of his. I poked my head through the curtain, and Jaehee switched the power on. I led the RFA members out from behind the curtain and pressed my finger to my lips, signaling them to stay quiet. Jumin stayed still, his stance slightly tense. I made my way back over to him and delicately undid the blindfold.

“Jumin…happy birthday, sweetheart!”

“Happy birthday!!” everyone shouted.

Jumin’s eyes widened and he jumped slightly, his fingertips slightly digging into my arm.

“Happy birthday, grandpa!!” Saeyoung charged at Jumin in an attempt to hug him, but Jumin quickly side-stepped out of the way.

“Happy birthday, Mr. Han.” Jaehee dipped her head slightly.

“Happy, happy birthday, to you!!” Yoosung skipped towards Jumin and blew confetti into his face.

Jumin stood silently.

“Jumin?” I quickly faced him. “Are you all right?”

“Come on trust fund kid, at least smile.” Zen folded his arms over his chest.

“Maybe he’s still shocked?” V scratched the back of his head.

Jumin slowly looked at me, his eye contact so intense that I couldn’t look directly at him. Suddenly, he softly began to chuckle.

“Jumin…?” I looked back up at him hesitantly.

“Thank you. All of you.” Jumin bowed his head.

“Hm? You’re not upset?” Zen’s eyes widened.

“Why would I be upset? My friends are celebrating my birthday. I was taken aback, I’ll admit.” Jumin gripped my wrist. “But I admire all of your efforts. Truly, I thank you.”

“Then, let’s celebrate!!” Saeyoung hollered and released many of the balloons still tied at their posts.

“Jumin, come, come! I want you to open my present first!!” Yoosung beckoned Jumin to the back.

“Presents should be opened after the cake is sliced.” Jaehee scolded.

Jumin released my wrist and walked towards the others. V cleared his throat, lightly nudged me, and bent over.

“He may be biting you plenty tonight.”

V went off to join everyone else…and my eyes bulged as I realized what he meant.

“Are you sure you don’t need help cleaning up?”

“I have everything handled. Spend the rest of the evening with Mr. Han.” Jaehee tied off a trash bag and grinned at me. “I’m sure he wants to enjoy your company before the day ends.”

“Thank you so much.” I gave Jaehee a quick hug and ran towards Jumin.

“Are you ready, darling?” Jumin extended his hand and I snickered softly; his party hat was still on his head, and his shoulders were littered with confetti.

“Yeah, let’s get going.”

“V. I’ll call you later.” Jumin held onto my hand and waved at V.

“Sure, I’ll look forward to it.” V did a quick double take and winked at me.

“…Huh…?” Before I could inquire any further, Jumin had pulled me into the car.

“Happy birthday, Mr. Han.” Driver Kim turned around and handed Jumin a small box.

“Thank you.” Jumin smiled and held the box in his other hand. “Straight to the penthouse, please.”

“Yes sir.”

I rested my head on Jumin’s shoulder as the car moved out of the venue and closed my eyes. “How long have you known?”

“For a little over a week. Ever since you mentioned those midterms.” Jumin hummed.

“How?” I rested my chin on his shoulder. “I thought I was so convincing, too.”

“You could have fooled anyone else, but you can’t fool me, darling.”

“Psh.” I placed my hand on his cheek, turning his head towards mine, and kissed him ardently. He moved his hand to the back of my neck and deepened the kiss further.

“Happy birthday…my Jumin.”

He smiled as he continued kissing me. “Thank you, my darling. But, you know I can’t just let your lie go.”

“Oh, come on.” I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer to me. “It was just a little white lie.”

“A lie nevertheless.” He cradled me in his arms and eased my back onto the leather.

“J-Jumin…we’re in the car –”

“I’m aware.” He reached behind me and my eyes shot open as I felt my bra loosen. He began to unbutton my blouse with his teeth; ecstasy coursed through the most sensitive parts of me. I tried to undo his shirt as well, but he pinned my hands over my head and began to kiss my chest.

“You don’t get to do anything.” He growled. The sternness in his voice excited me; I pressed my body up against his and briefly met his excitement as well.

“I was never one to beg or plead, Ju – hoo… Jumin…” I gasped. “But please…go easy on me… I’m still so – oooh – sore from last night…”

“I’ll consider it.” He hummed as he pushed shirt open and began to lick and kiss my stomach.

I didn’t know how long we were in there. I didn’t even know that the car had stopped. All I knew is that we had ravaged one another, him more so than me, over, and over, and over again. We were sweaty, sticky, and utterly satisfied.

At least, I was.

We quickly put our clothes back on, composed ourselves, and walked out of the car. Well, I wobbled out, but Jumin was fine.

“Good evening Mr. Han, Miss.” A bodyguard bowed towards us.

“Good evening.” Jumin and I replied simultaneously and rushed inside the penthouse. Jumin locked the door, and our eyes met; his were still clouded with lust, and surely, so were mine.

“Well, we’ve…never done it there before!” I exclaimed.

Jumin pinned me up against the wall and kissed my already-swollen lips. I kissed him back, my lips and my body still hungry for him. He tore off my bra and pressed his hands up against my breasts.

“Happy birthday, Jumin.” I huffed between breaths.

Jumin lifted me up, gently lay me down, and crawled on top of me. It was as though he was resuming where he had left off, his lips contacting my heated, exposed skin. We made eye contact again. He smirked devilishly.

“Happy birthday to me, indeed.”

june: week three

12: i got up at 7 am and then decided not to work in the office today. i just felt really sad again. i also wasn’t going to get dinner or lunch with vicki because she was too far T_T i’ll see her when i go back to chicago though. i laid in bed for 30 minutes or so and then brushed up and decided to walk over to the closest postal box to ship off my other rothy’s. oh, i didn’t explain to you all why my feet are hurting: i wore rothy’s flats for two days straight and they cramped my big toe and got my joints to flare up. the first day felt fine but after the second day, my feet hurt. it hurts to walk when i get up. x_x; so yeah, i returned both the 7.5 (too wide) and 7 (fit me but pointed toe box was too small). i had to wrestle with the customer service rep -__-” for me to return it. ugh. anyway, i took that walk and regretted it walking back because my allergies were starting to flare up and my legs got itchy. also, the box didn’t open all the way so my package wouldn’t fit x_x; 

the morning continued to be semi-bad? i cut my nail with the serrated knife (just he nail) so i went to clip my nail and the pin that held it together popped out and down the drain.... i sent in a maintenance request and then told kevin what happened and he was basically like “typical.” x_X; we ate breakfast and then after kevin left, the maintenance guy came and asked me if i really needed it and i said not really so he just left hahahaha. omg. much fails this morning. i ordered super nice nail clippers on amazon with my credit card reward points and then put on ‘beauty and the beast’ (live action version) and went to work. i also got to watch all the episodes of the ‘world of dance’, and i tried watching gordon ramsay’s ‘the f word’ but it’s a really weird show format-wise. x__x; i was pretty productive while watching stuff so i think i’m going to continue doing this while i work from home and recover. 

after work, i did 45 minutes of abs because i can’t do cardio. i didn’t want to listen to blogilates talk (LOL) so i put on the second season of ‘master of none’ and worked out to that. kevin came back early because he didn’t decide to climb today. i baked lemon pepper chicken again and kevin made some yu choy. i showered and then we ate leftovers and all of that for dinner while watching gordon ramsay videos. kevin cleaned up and then marinated pork butt in a char siu marinade while i ended my night walking 10k (i had to make up some steps after dinner) and watching videos. i went to sleep at 11:40 pm. i ko’d.

13: i got up at 8:30 am and then prepared for work. i ate breakfast with kevin and then went to work after he left. i also looked into glasses and contacts’ exams. hmmm i might just sign up for america’s best’s eyecare club for 5 years. hmmm. idk. well, i worked on my current project, ate lunch, and etc. i watched all the episodes of ‘love connection’ and then went on to watching the newest episodes of masterchef. i also got to catch up on some manga. on another note, i found out the name and artist of the song i’ve been dying to find on a youtube video. lol, kevin also tried looking for me... we found it though! yay. my feet are still healing and not yet fully recovered :( i worked for the rest of the day and after work, i just got real into looking at airline reward systems and got a headache so i took a 20 minute nap. kevin came back and then i worked out while watching master of none and kevin worked on finishing up cooking his char siu while making dinner for us. i did a bit of dance cardio but my feet still aren’t 100%. i took it real easy. we ate dinner and then ate some of the char siu and it was DELICIOUS. omg, kevin is a masterchef <3 i’m so lucky to have him LOL. we nommed on some meat and then cleaned up a bit and showered. i was totally beat after that. i went to sleep at around 11:30 pm. zzz.

14: lol i woke up at 8;30 am again. i ate breakfast with kevin and then went straight to work and realized i had a good amount left to do. i put on the newest episodes of world of dance and masterchef while i worked. then i ate lunch, worked, got on standup, and then finished up the project. then i rested with some videos and planned what to do for the next day. i think tomorrow i’m going to go to fedex and print out test copies of this project and hopefully, they turn out great. kevin surprised me by coming home hella early even though he said he was climbing? apparently, his team left the office at 3:30 pm and so he did too and went climbing. so i kind of rushed to finish my oblique workout and then showered and then we ate char siu banh mi for dinner mmmm. so yummy. i ate an apple pear for dessert and that tipped me over and i felt so bloated... kevin also is very clumsy and hurts me all the time. my foot is feeling better but kevin like kicked it and it stung a bit but still ok. my left foot is healing faster than my right. i don’t know what’s wrong with my right foot T_T please heal, i’m sorry! i fit in a small minimal intensity cardio workout at the end of the day and then went to sleep at like 11:30 pm.

15: i had a call at 10 am so i hopped on that after eating breakfast. kevin said bye to me in the middle of the call and went to work. the call went pretty well and then i spent another 30 minutes doing some visual work for the customer. then i decided to skip lunch and just head out to fedex and the prudential center so i could get back home and eat a later lunch. i spent an hour or so at warby parker trying on frames and i think i found the ones i’m going to buy next month (: woot. then i stopped by the eataly in the mall and got a plain croissant. it was lemon-flavored o_o; i ate and found this hidden fedex and spent like 2 hours there talking to cliff, the guy who works there. he was a really nice grandpa/dad figure haha. he kept telling me to buy a house in rhode island and invest in it. then he gave me great restaurant recommendations all while i figured out the best font size for the printed map. he also had great opinions about design and he is a super smart guy. i gave him my business card (first business card swap) and i’m definitely coming back to this fedex if i ever need to print anything again.

it was 4:45 pm by the time i got out of there. i commuted back (it wasn’t bad at all). then i ate a bowl of cereal because i was so hungry and then heated up the char siu and toasted the bread. kevin got back and we ate banh mi for dinner. then we chilled on the sofa and kevin got too tired and relaxed to cook omurice so i’m on my own tomorrow and he’ll buy lunch LOL. i managed to get in my arm workout at the end of the day before showering and hitting the sack. i went to sleep later than usual at around 12:30 am?

16: i woke up very unsettled... i’m still pretty unsettled. it’s something about my friendships right now that make me feel this way... anyway, i got up at 8:45 am and then started my day. it was a pretty productive day! there were a lot of loose ends to tie with the things we’ve been working on but everything was coming together. i watched some masterchef and youtube videos while working. i made some fried rice for lunch and only ate a bit. i think i needed to add more oil or even butter. :P after work, i did manage to do 30 minutes of kickboxing cardio without weights and my feet were pretty okay? kevin went climbing today but came back early still. kevin refried the rice with butter and made some veggies. i ate a lot of the fried rice because it was sooo good after being cooked with the butter. the rest of the night we showered, chilled and relaxed. it was going to be a chill af weekend and i hope my feet would make a full recovery. i ko’d at around 11 pm or 12 am.

17: lol i annoyed kevin in the morning. he was trying to sleep but it was like 9-10 am and he said we would go grocery shopping and go to coco leaf early in the morning. so i kept bouncing on the bed and stuff like that. he yelled at me LOL. T_T i was hurt for a bit but it was also my fault. we ate a bit of breakfast before heading to coco leaf and then drove into dorchester for the first time. we were in a very vietnamese neighborhood haha. we ordered a che thai, che lychee, hello vietnam savory crepe, tray cai sweet crepe, and their big bang flavored popcorn chicken. the popcorn chicken was meh and so were their crepes. they were alright. their che were delicious though. kevin’s was more refreshing and floral and mine was the traditional che thai with durian tho :O it was slightly overpowering but i got used to it. we couldn’t finish 2/3 of the savory crepe (most vietnamese tasting food we’ve ever had -- i think it was the hams in there) and got it to go. we drove back home, meal planned, and then tried getting a tour of a room in deco that has a den in it. we couldn’t because the current tenants haven’t moved out yet so we just decided to put our names down. we have 3 days to figure out if we want to stay in deco for the same price. i think we’re staying because we don’t have time to move.

we got groceries at kam man, good fortune, and then bj’s. then we came back home and chilled for the rest of the day. i managed to make myself play bravely default again (been procrastinating). kevin and i went out to grill some hamburgers and ate them for dinner. then i kept gaming until i felt like i needed to do a bit of moving. i did some butt exercises and then showered and gamed with kevin until 2 am? lol my sleeping schedule is totally messed up now. :(

18: we got up at around 10 am and then we ate breakfast and i did a bit of gaming before we headed out to bj’s again to use our coupons. we were in and out and then headed to the movies to get tickets to watch wonder woman. we got tickets to captain underpants instead because there weren’t any good seats left for the wonder woman showtimes x_x; plus, kevin heard that the captain underpants movie was pretty good. we drove back home and then chilled until we needed to go back to the movies. i gamed, did laundry, and got into low-impact exercising! kevin gamed and read fanfic lol. the movie was pretty funny but it did get a little slow in the middle. overall, i could see why it has an 85% on rotten tomatoes. we got back home, i cleaned the bathroom and kitchen, kevin started cooking, and before all of that though, i got real hungry during the movie so we heated up some tyson chicken strips. uhh, they’re alright... they’re kind of mushy on the inside. i prefer their nuggets. i gamed for the rest of then night, talked to hillary on the phone for a bit, and finally got to the last chapter of bravely default. i’m gonna finish this game!!! D:< i stayed up way later than i expected and ended up sleeping at like 1 am. x_x; i was definitely going to work from home again because my feet are still recovering :(
