Tumblr media
August is a weird month. It seemed to rush by you like a dream and yet at the same time it felt like the last period of every Friday, not finishing fast enough. You'd prefer the former.
August reminded you of memories— pretty but mostly ugly ones or maybe when the hurt in your heart ran so deep, even the happy memories turned ugly, didn't they?
It was not a month you enjoyed, you didn't like summers, you didn't like feeling like new beginnings and first love.
August reminded you of it all... It reminded you of Jake.
Tumblr media
It was 1st of August when you realized what those weird feelings were.
‘Y/N!’ You opened the door to the sound of your name, only to be met with a tired and almost teary eyed Jake. He looked up at you, mustering a small smile as you stood before him your mouth agape. 
‘A-are you okay?!’ you asked, pulling him into your house.
‘Um. Not… really’, your friend replied, scratching his neck nervously. ‘It’s just… she kinda broke up with me.’
She. he didn’t even need to mention her name and yet you let the word pierce your heart, a little. Kang Eunji. Jake’s girlfriend, well, ex girlfriend. 
It was her, always her. It wasn’t unusual for you to hear that they both had a fight but you never thought they'd break up. ‘What? Are you being for real?!’ You were shocked to say the least. Jake and Eunji were what people deemed to be the “power couple” at school. They wouldn’t break up, or could they?
He nodded and sat on the couch, ‘We were fighting over one of those petty matters again, she was angry why I was so busy. It was about soccer practice of course! And when I kind of lost it, she said we were over.’ His voice caught in his throat before he let out a small sob.
Your heart sank as you patted his back and pulled him close into an embrace, ‘Ssh, it’s okay’, you ran small circles on his, ignoring the butterflies set free in your stomach at the close contact. 
You could never understand what went on in their relationship. This may have been the first time they broke up but it surely wasn’t the first time Jake came to your house on the verge of tears.
You hated seeing him this way, like a broken record. 
‘What will I do now, Y/N?’ ‘You just broke up, it’s not the end of the world. Plus, you have the entire summer before you, right? We’ll figure a way out,’ You broke the hug, looking straight into his eyes, trying to reassure him.
But they all meant nothing. Getting reassured of a broken heart didn’t mend the damage, you knew better than him. Jake nodded nonetheless, wiping away the stray tears, ‘Goodness, I feel so dumb for just crying like this.’ ‘don’t be. You are allowed to feel your emotions.’
He gave a small smile in your direction and your heart skipped a beat.
‘So’, you turned towards the television, searching for a distraction. ‘You wanna binge watch something? Or maybe some Doraemon?’
Jake grinned, ‘I’d love that! What would I do without you, Y/N?’
You let out an almost sad chuckle, ‘I am the coolest best friend ain’t I?’ The word best friend left a bad taste in your mouth.
Tumblr media
4th August was when Jake realized the bookstore was his safe place.
Clink! The door to the bookstore opened with a small chime. You looked up from your position at the counter only to find Jake walk into the shop. 
He smiled before taking a seat beside you, much to your surprise. It wasn't unusual for him to drop by the store. But mostly he came for borrowing a book or having a quick chat with you. 
But never like this.
'So, how are you doing?' You asked, turning towards where he sat, fidgeting with a pen. It was a slow lazy afternoon with barely any customers.
'Oh, uh, I'm fine. At least I'm trying to be. We had so many things planned and like, it feels weird. We were good for each other…' he kept on rambling about his latest break up.
You could feel your heart clench a litte. You understood why Jake was doing so but it didn't help. It didn't help that there were two broken hearts in the same room. It was always you and the second lead syndrome against the world.
Sometimes you really wondered what you had done to be stuck in the loophole of falling for a friend.
You had been friends with Jake since middle school, always finding yourself blush whenever he was around. 
The first time you tried confessing to him during Valentine's Day in freshman year, your hand baked cake (which you had prepared for hours) got destroyed. You kind of gave up on him, treating him as a friend.
Well, that was until Eunji came along last year. Seeing Jake with her brought about a fresh wave of emotions you think your heart had forgotten.
It hadn't. 
Tumblr media
The bookstore was Jake's hideaway from the world. He loved everything about it. Loved how calming it was and the people who came in always greeted him with a smile. He was a quaint place, maybe mysterious in a sense that Jake didn't want to uncover the secrets it hid.
He liked how you let him sit there for the entirety of your shift. But mostly he loved the conversations.
Throughout the summer, Jake couldn't remember the number of times he found you sitting with him, flipping through some book as you both chatted away, be it in the lazy afternoon or under the evening sky, where the buzz of the grasshopper was the only thing he could hear. They felt weirdly intimate, like the secrets he used to keep as a kid. He almost wanted to gatekeep them. 
'Sorry do I bore you here?' You asked one day. It was a question bothering you for a while.
Jake frowned, 'What? No. Of course not, Y/N. You could never bore me.' But you were unconvinced, 'No, like, who spends their summer sitting in a small little barely functioning bookstore except maybe be. You must have a lot of plans, right?'
'I wouldn't lie. I haven't ever spent such a quiet summer but turns out, I like a lot. Too much for my own sake. The bookstore isn't boring. Rather, it gives me a sense of escape from reality.' He gave you a reassuring smile.
'Also', Jake added as a second thought. 'You aren't boring Y/N. You just make it all loads better.'
Tumblr media
Your phone went off with a sharp ring. Your alarm wasn’t set to ring today. Who could it be? You groaned as you sleepily grabbed it from the nightstand. Without even checking the name, you picked up the call, ‘Hello? Who?’ ‘It’s me Jake, you dummy!’ His excited voice came from the other side.
You yawned, ‘What do you want?’ you checked the time, ‘It’s literal fucking half past four.’ ‘More reason to wake up, right?!’
‘Shut up, I’m hanging up and-’ ‘No no! I really did plan a surprise. Get ready, please, just for today. Please’, he begged from the other side.
Now, you were definitely wide awake, upon hearing his voice. He had planned what…? ‘Okay but the surprise better be good.’ ‘Also! Keep your bicycle ready.’
‘There you are!’ Jake greeted you with a wide smile as you grumbled and walked down the road with your bike where he stood. ‘You don’t get to smile like that after pulling me up from sleep’, you muttered angrily.
But really who were you to complain? It was Jake and you couldn’t deny the fact that you were genuinely excited for what was coming. It was always an adventure when it came to him.
‘You won’t be disappointed, trust me’, he said, boarding his bike and motioning for you to do the same. 
You breathed out a calming sigh, looking ahead at the empty road. Thanks to summer, the sun was already somewhere there on the horizon, spreading a fuzzy glow around you. Everything looked simpler, softer. In the light of the dawn, your thoughts felt less complicated, you almost felt it would be easy to sort out your feelings. Would it?
You turned to look at Jake, cycling in peace, a small grin on his face, ‘Told you! I sometimes go out on early morning rides, especially if I have a lot on my mind.’
‘So, why are you taking me then?’ ‘I don’t know. I just have a feeling you’ll like this place’, he shrugged. ‘Plus, I like spending time with you’, Jake added as an afterthought.’
A blush crept into your cheeks at his words. Stop over thinking you scolded yourself. But you couldn’t help the hope blossom in you. False hope. 
‘Here we are’, Jake spread his arms wide, showing you the view. After half an hour of cycling through empty streets and quiet places, you found yourself on a small hill. It was pretty abandoned, the only sounds that reached your ears were the chirping of birds and the whistling of trees in the cool summer morning.
In front of you lay your town and the forests beyond it. Those familiar buildings looked all new when you saw them from top of a hill. It radiated calmth… and comfort.
Or was the latter because of the person beside you? 
‘Thanks’, you spoke in a soft whisper but then you felt a hand tucking a strand of your hair behind your ear. Your heart stopped as you turned towards Jake looking at you with a fond smile and slowly pulled you closer, resting his head on your shoulder. 
You couldn't process what he was doing. Was it all intentional? No, it was the usual playful Jake you knew, right? But the usual playful Jake wasn't like this. He had pulled you into a hug several times but never like this.
Never so tender in his actions that it made you think otherwise.
'I like the view so much. I hope you do too. It's just… very special, I had never shown it to Eunji either. People ruin things', he sighed, looking ahead. 
You scoffed as an attempt to lighten the atmosphere, 'So, I'm not a person?' 'No, you're Y/N. It's an entire special thing to be in itself.'
You didn't know what it meant anymore. The secret smiles, the small actions. You weren't oblivious, you saw it all but your face masked it behind the friendship.
But was it even friendship? You hoped it wasn't. You hoped you both had crossed the line of being "just friends".
Tumblr media
It was the 20th of August when Jake liked mint chocolate ice cream. 
He touched his cheek as a familiar warmth flooded in at the sight of you. What was happening to him? Ever since the day on the hill, he had been feeling weird. Be it when he visited the bookstore or when you both hung out during the day (or night).
The way your laugh sounded in his ears, when you smiled, he noticed the way his heart skipped a beat. But he loved the most when through the afternoons you talked. Just talk, nothing and everything.
Jake had never felt so connected to anyone. You both had always been friends but seeing a friends standing before him, two ice creams in hand shouldn't make Jake blush.
But it did.
'Hey Mr.Zoned out!' You snapped your fingers before him, pulling him away from his thoughts. You handed him his ice cream while joining him on the curb. 
He made a disgusted face at the cone you were holding, 'Ugh. Mint chocolate.' You slapped his shoulder playfully, 'Yah! You are a person with zero taste.' 
'Oh really? Lemme try it then', Jake replied, challenging you. He scooped a bit with the plastic spoon before closing his eyes and tasting it. 
'Ew', he gagged. 'This tastes like fucking toothpaste', he wiped his mouth in disgust.
'Shut up, no need to be so over dramatic about it all', you chuckled and rolled your eyes. 
Jake looked at you as you continued eating and looking at the street in front. It was almost 5 in the evening, the kids were out playing but their shouts were only distant noise because all he could hear was your voice. All he could see was you. You weren't bright like the background but in his eyes, you were glowing. The sun falling on your face, as if highlighting only you in his eyes.
Almost as if on instinct, his hand slowly reached out to your free one, his fingers finding yours and intertwining them together.
You stopped, your heart beating way too fast, you could almost feel the redness of your cheeks.
What was happening? What was Jake doing? Why was he doing this? 
It felt wrong, you knew it. Your intuition could tell it. This was something you had waited forever to happen, but you knew this couldn't be.
Let go of his hand, Y/N. Let go let go let go let go… don't let go.
You didn't, too foolish and in love to walk away. And maybe that was the first mistake you had made.
Tumblr media
The first rain of August came on the 25th.
Why was rain often associated with sadness? No, rain didn't mean sadness.
Because on that one day of August, you stood outside the bookstore looking at the dark clouds, the rain gave you hope.
You sighed, no wonder your mother kept on insisting you to take an umbrella. Now, there you were, standing in front of the closed shop.
But a bright yellow thing caught your eye, standing out in the dull gray background. You squinted your eyes as the figure came closer.
Jake.
Your stomach jumped. Had he come for you? 
He ran through the rain, his bright smile evident as you stared at him in wonder.
'What?' He asked. You shook your head, 'You…?' 'I came for you. You always forget your umbrella.' He completed the sentence for you.
Your mouth formed an "O" but a soft smile spread across your lips. 
'Here', he handed you the spare umbrella in hand and took hold of your wrist, pulling you into the rain.
You shrieked, 'At least let me open mine first.' He laughed at your sight, moving closer and holding his umbrella over you.
You noticed every single thing, the things you had noticed a hundred times before. But mostly you noticed his little actions.
The ones that made you fall for him all over again.
'Fuck, if I catch a cold, it'll be your fault, Sim Jake', you threatened the boy standing in front of your porch, grinning. You both had recklessly ran in the rain as a result the umbrellas had been pretty useless… but it was fun.
'Don't worry', he stepped forward, a certain fondness flickering in his eyes. 'I'll be there to bring you the meds.' 
It happened in a fraction of a second, swiftly, Jake bent down and gave a sudden kiss on your cheek. It was soft as a feather, almost like it didn't happen.
But you felt it. You almost felt dizzy, her cheeks heating you. You brought your hands to where he had just kissed you. It had happened, hadn't it?
But before you could say anything, Jake turned around, his head hung low in embarrassment but his stomach full of butterflies and sprinted in the opposite direction.
Had he meant it?
As Jake walked his way back home, his head filled with thoughts of you, a sudden buzz of his phone. He took it out, expecting a text from you.
But no… It was someone else.
His heart dropped. A contact that hadn't been there since 1st of August.
Eunji.
"jake, im so sorry."
Tumblr media
But what followed after that day was something you had always feared. 
He ignored you. Every text, every call, no reply. Did he just get awkward? But even an awkward Jake wouldn't be this rude. Or was he angry with you? You didn't even do anything.
The next time you saw Jake, three days later, was when you went on a grocery run.
You could spot him anywhere. 'Jake! Wait', you called out to him. He didn't stop. 'Omg, stop being a shit head would you?! Stop fucking ignoring me!' You huffed, annoyed. 
That's when you saw his figure slowly turn towards you. 'Sorry', he muttered. You ran a hand through your hair. sorry? That's all he had to say? 
'Look, if it's about that day then forget it. You-you never kissed me.' 'What? Of course not, it isn't about that day', he replied. 
You looked at him confusedly, 'Huh? Then why, Jake? I had tried calling and texting you so many times but you couldn't bother to reply to me.'Your voice slowly rose.
'I was busy catching up with Eunji okay?!' his tone matching yours.
There came that name. Her name. Did you hear it correctly? What was she doing in this conversation?
'E-eunji…?' you looked at him, at loss of words. 'I thought yo-you were over her?' 
He gave you a look of disbelief, 'No. That day she sent me a text and I realised… I wasn't.'
Why did the crack in your heart deepen? Why was it always you who got hurt? 
And you couldn't help but ask, knowing the answer would make you feel worse, 'What about us then, Jake?' 
'Us? Y/N what are you talking about? We are friends, we always have been. There is no us.' 
There, the final blow. 'Why did you make me feel so special then? All for nothing? You know how much I like you, so much that everytime we spent time together this summer, I got my hopes up. I was so foolish, because of you Sim fucking Jaeyun. And that day you kissed me, I thought, finally you'll realize but no. It's always her, isnt it?', you didn't scream but the crack in your voice said it all.
And Jake remained silent through it all. because he knew he deserved 'So, this summer meant nothing to you?' You sniffed, a single tear rolling down your cheek.
'Nothing.' But you missed the flicker in his eyes. The flicker that said otherwise.
That it wasn't nothing, it was his eveything.
Tumblr media
August 31st was when you lost it finally.
‘It was just a summer thing’, the words rang in your ear, loud and clear. They drowned the voices of all the chatter of classmates. ‘y/n? y/n? Are you okay?’ Lily asked beside you, furrowing her eyebrows in worry.
But you couldn’t respond to her, at that very moment, you thought you couldn’t do pretty much anything except look. Or rather stare at the sight unfolding before you. Before you knew it, the plastic cup fell from your hands, the beer splashing all over the floor and getting the attention of the people in the room, the attention of them. 
In the haze, you met your eyes with his, the soft brown ones that you had fallen in love with, the one which enveloped you in warmth. But now they felt like they were hurting you, the annoyance in them.
A tear rolled down your cheek as you turned around. The room suddenly felt too small, the stares of the people felt accusing. You let go of Lily’s hand that gripped your wrist and ran in the opposite direction.
Did you hear footsteps behind you? Were they Jake’s? You hated to admit it but you wished they were. You wished that he was the one following you, the one who'd hold you back.
For once, prove it to you that you weren’t the second lead.
But he wasn’t there.
You found yourself rushing to the porch, the sounds fading out. But you could hear the blood pumping in your ears, the sound of your shallow breath that you had been holding for so long.
He wasn’t there. What did you even expect?
You were a summer thing for him… but he was your summer love.

Tumblr media
I’ve written a little about original content in the Doraemon anime that I’m not a big fan of, but there are other cases where I think it can be quite good. One of these is the episode “できすぎラブレター” (approximate translation: “Over-the-top Love Letter”) from the 1979 anime series. It aired in 2005, making it one of the final episodes of the classic Doraemon anime. Although it is an adaptation of the manga chapter “もはん手紙ペン” (“Model Letter-writing Pen”, which I mentioned previously here), the story has been substantially modified.
In the manga, there is a gag in which Nobita tries to use the Model Letter-writing Pen to write a letter to Shizuka, only to end up penning an... age-inappropriate message, because the age setting on the pen had been incorrectly specified. After Doraemon fixes the problem, this incident never comes up again. The episode, on the other hand, makes it the focus of the story.
In this version, Nobita writes the letter alone in the park, instead of at home. There, he is spotted by Suneo, who takes the letter and reads it, and it is then that Nobita realizes that he’d gotten the settings wrong on the pen. Suneo is intent on embarrassing Nobita by showing the letter to everyone, but the next person to read it, Dekisugi, is actually very impressed by Nobita’s writing skills. Gian, however, decides that the letter needs to be shown to Shizuka right away.
Before Gian and Suneo can take the letter to Shizuka’s house, Dekisugi steps in and tricks them(!!) into thinking that Shizuka is out shopping, which gives Nobita enough time to write letters for Gian and Suneo expressing his appreciation and admiration for them. They are so moved by Nobita’s writing that they return the letter he wrote for Shizuka and leave him in peace.
With the matter resolved, Nobita puts the letter away into an envelope... but he’d forgotten that he’d already stuck one of Doraemon’s Super-express Stamps on it. Whoops.
As expected, Shizuka is very flustered after reading Nobita’s letter and is unwilling to see him. Later that day, however, she stops by with a letter for Nobita, explaining that she’d figured out that he wouldn’t have written a letter like that on his own. After getting confirmation from Doraemon that Nobita had been affected by one of Doraemon’s gadgets, she encourages Nobita to write to her as himself, using his own words.
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, Dekisugi is none the wiser about how Nobita was able to write such charismatic letters. He shows up at Nobita’s door the next morning and tells him that he plans on running late to school with him, in the hope that he’ll be able to pick up the same skills by emulating Nobita’s behavior!
Tumblr media
It’s a sweet story that puts an original spin on a minor plot point from the manga, while giving some depth to almost all the characters involved without contradicting their established characterization. Well done to the anime for this one. It would have been fun to see more of this type of interaction between Nobita and Dekisugi in the manga (or the franchise in general)!

I HAVE THIS URGENT FEELING OF WRITING SOMETHING FOR MY OTP (ATSUMINA) BUT LIKE I'M BUSY 😭😭
I just rewatched that old clip where Acchan says that if she's 30 or 40 and she's not in a relationship/haven't fallen in love, then she wants to live with Takamina for the rest of her life. Then she adds the comment, "we should just get married or something" and let's ignore how the interviewer tells Acchan that's not possible....
Like she's already past 30... but Takamina is married... 😭😭😭 so I want a fluff AU where they end up together.
Like, Takamina isn't married. Acchan still went through with a marriage and has a kid, then got a divorce. Let's say they kinda fought for something (not important, maybe), and now, Acchan needs someone to help her with her son.
Takamina is her first choice but she remembers they've been on bad terms... so, she asks around and when no one can help her, not even her parents. Acchan swallows her pride and calls Takamina.
Obviously, Minami says yes. Minami can't say no to Acchan.
The kid knows Minami, but still is shy. Atsuko promises ice cream, a day in the park, and some snacks the next day if he's a good kid. Minami says it's fine, she will find a way to keep him busy.
Atsuko can't quite look at Minami's eyes. She still feels a bit embarrassed.
"Everything will be fine," Minami says softly, holding Atsuko's hand and giving her a light squeeze. "I'll take good care of him. He won't even realize you will be gone for long."
Minami mistakes her embarrassment for worry. And Atsuko wants to smack Minami's head and also kiss her.
The thing is, Atsuko goes. She works and the time pass. When the director of the drama she's shooting yells 'Cut!' Atsuko asks for the hour.
2am. Way past the hour she told Minami.
She doesn't know if she should knock on the door, press the bell, or send Minami a text. She opts for a call.
Minami opens the door of her apartment, a hand rubbing the sleep off her eyes.
"I'm so sorry, the recording went far longer than I anticipated," Atsuko whispers as she walks inside of the dark apartment.
"It's fine," Minami whispers back, her voice hoarse. "I predicted as much and planned accordingly. You should stay. He's deep asleep."
Atsuko stops then, a few steps away from what she knows is Minami's door. She's not surprised that Minami knew how to distract a kid, she always was better with kids, but it surprises her that Ken-chan is sleeping in Minami's room. She guessed Minami would place him on the guest room.
"Are you sure?"
"Of course! I still have some of your clothes in the closet," she opens the door, slowly and with care as to not disturb the kid inside. "Just change and come to bed.
There's a little light coming from the bathroom, the door left slightly open, enough to wash the room with a yellowish light, but not bright enough to wake the people inside.
"He told me you bought him a doraemon light to help him." Minami smiles, sitting at the edge of the bed as Atsuko leaves her bag need the closet and proceeds to search for her clothes. "He wanted to be big and brave though."
Atsuko turns, an old, big T-shirt in hand, her son lays on the left side of the king size bed. He holds his safety blanket tightly, his thumb on his mouth —habit Atsuko has tried to get rid of, unsuccessfully.
"I told him grown ups use the light of the bathroom."
Both share a soft chuckle.
Atsuko changes in the bathroom. Not because she's shy to undress, after so many years, they're not shy when it's only them. But because she really wants to have a warm bath.
By the time she finishes, it's past 3am.
The warmth water relaxed her, all the stress and her worries left her body and her eyes feel heavy.
Minami now lays on the middle of the bed, and Ken-chan moved to snuggle next to her. The light of the bathroom doesn't disturb them but is enough to allow a photo. After taking a few dozen, she puts her phone on silent mode and finally gets on the bed.
Not near and neither far away from the two of the most important people Atsuko treasures.
Even in her sleep, Minami reaches blindly for Atsuko. Pulls her closer, and only when Atsuko's head is on her shoulder, an arm around her middle. Minami sighs and continues sleeping. This time, a light snoring fills the silence.
Normally, Atsuko has trouble sleeping. On this night, however, Atsuko is asleep before her brain can process it.

[MY SWEET JOURNEY II — WITH EVAN]
E: I was just wondering how your arrangement of the workshop has been going these two days.
E: And, by the time I noticed, I was already here.
I used a small amount of hot water to moisten the ground coffee first and then poured in circles starting from the center and moving outward.
[MC]: Actually, I just received your letter too, and then I couldn’t wait to let you come and take a look.
The coffee boiled and its rich aroma was slowly released.
[MC]: But, if you’re ever curious about the situation here in the future, you can come at any time.
I set down the glass kettle and scooped out a particularly colourful flower petal from my pocket, waving it in front of him.
[MC]: This is the crabapple tree’s flower, and also the “key” that leads here.
[MC]: With it, you can come whenever you like.
Evan accepted the key in my hand and his eyes brimmed with a hint of gentleness.
E: Does this count as the key to Doraemon’s Anywhere Door?
MC: It’s not that godly, you can only come to my tiny workshop.
He reached out to wrap an arm around my waist with a soft laugh while his other hand raised the brewed coffee. He took a slow sip.
E: No, that’s enough.
That very, very light voice mixed with the slightly bitter fragrance of coffee and filled the air around me.
E: Your efficiency is very high. In just a few days the workshop has become very different.
[MC]: Mhm, the prototype is complete.
[MC]: But right now it’s still relatively simple. I’ll slowly think about it and slowly add onto it.
He leaned against the bar counter contentedly and the hand that had stopped on my waist reached out a little further, gripping my fingers and kneading them from time to time.
E: Other than doing designs here, this place is also quite a nice paradise.
E: There won’t be uninvited guests and you won’t need to deal with outside disturbances.
Evan’s gaze swept through the office area until it reached the bright and clear French windows. Unknown emotions appeared in his eyes.
My heart moved and I turned to remove his glasses.
[MC]: If you don’t want to be the omnipotent CEO Lu for a time, you’re also welcome to come here to escape reality.
[MC]: Before, it was always Doraelu bringing out all sorts of magical tools to solve my troubles.
[MC]: This time, I also wish my small home can become a paradise for you.
The sunlight shone on his face rampantly and when his eyelashes trembled they made dappled shadows below his eyes.
He was a little stunned, but soon my fingers were enveloped by a warmth.
E: Or maybe a place that has you is already the paradise I hoped for.

SPOILERS FOR PUSS IN BOOTS THE LAST WISH!!!
I'm putting this here cause there's no way I'm putting this on twt(again...twt had nuff of my bullshit) or anything but I consider this a rant just because I can't, won't and do not want to spoil my friends about the movie but I'm too fixated on how well constructed it was.
First off, I was watching the first few scenes and oh my god. They brought in so many memorable takes from the first one which was so sweet!
My favorite was the "Ooh" cat popping up in the cat shelter.
I just realized that the sleeping giant seemed to be an example to amplify how big of a threat death was. The sleeping giant was a possible ploy, as it poses a great threat to the lands. However, Pib is met with someone who's able to fit in the same room as him. Someone that resembles himself, someone he couldn't possibly be, because it's someone we'll always end up meeting in the end, staring at it. It stares at us with its red beady eyes. Death himself.
The design for death. man. Man.
The scene where Pib(Puss in Boots) felt genuine fear from bleeding from his head. The red piercing eyes and the fucking strength he shows. From first glance I kinda knew he was death already, since his presence alone said a lot. I love how you don't even need so much to tell the audience what a character is meant to be perceived as. Giving them a few lines, visuals and subtle movements and cues are enough for the audience to pick up on it.
And of course, who could forget the portrayal of panic attacks. That one gets one of the stars for me. I love how they framed it as something that basically gets you in a way where you feel like you need to leave. You have to escape. You have to survive and live.
Each scene of the panic attacks occurring played important roles that constantly concern Pib and the viewers. We first become aware of the threat, how we know this threat could appear at any time. Now that–that's terrifying to think about. Which is true, death can come for us at any time which we least expect, which I really like how they were able to represent that as well.
The scene where Pib was worried about someone coming for him, aka Death, where he stares at the front door and sees a snout sniffing near it. I knew it couldn't be death at his door since it was well established that he was being hunted by the Goldi and the Three Bears. I like the detail where he's literally concerned that he constantly has to keep his eyes peeled twice now for something that's larger than life.
The first of the main characters that were introduced were Goldilocks and the three bears. First thing I thought, "she's hiding something isn't she. Oh she wants the wish, oh she wants to find her family again doesn't she?"
Then the second one was Perrito, love that lil guy. This dude breaks my heart honestly. I mean. Fuck man, something this innocent (well partly) gets hurt in every way and still does his best to forgive... I honestly like how he was introduced to Pib just cause they have contrasting personalities. I love how he's determined to be a therapy dog one day! Aaaaahhh
And then the third was Jack horner, yeah no. I got nothing else to say other than the fact that he looks like the guy from the lorax with dyed hair and power hungry issues. No need for me to predict shit at all. I hate that guy and his Mary Poppins, Doraemon ass bag. (They made a good villain, good job, I hate him👍)
And then the last if I'm not mistaken was Kitty Softpaws, so glad she was back around. But oof, damn exes unite huh. Thought about her wishing she could trust someone from the get-go. Of course, she was wishing for Pib, obviously.
I was honestly thinking throughout the movie, like what's the point? Right? You have one wish, but you have these people around you already. What could be so great that could potentially be a wish come true to them?
Except there was me hoping that Pib would at least get his lives back MAN. I WAS SOBBING.
To be fair, some areas were predictable where others weren't but I don't care. I loved it. I loved the hell out of it. I don't care about the cliche. I care about the story telling. What I could not predict was QUALITY AND WHOLE. And oh my goodness, don't get me started on that, the DESIGNS THE LIGHTING THE ANIMATION, THE FIGHT SCENES WERE SO WELL MADE SO WAS THE MUSIC ACCOMPANYING THE SCENES HEEEELL YEEEEEEAH.
THEY DELIVERED A CONCEPT THAT WORKED SO DAMN GOOOOOD!!
In the scene where the characters stood for the corners of the fucking star my god that was so smart. I was like "THEY PLANNED THIS ALL WAY TOO INTRICATELY I LOVE HOW EVERYTHING CONNECTS!"
I really like how the scenes weren't common. Like the fight scenes and everything. Where they take place and what kinds of combat could be possible with the equipment they're available with. I always love those kinds of combat.
We got like two found families except the other guy was just thirsty for world domination I guess. Yes I am insulting you, jack horner. Edna mode would kick your ass tbh. (Sorry I'm salty, I hate him, he was mean to Mr. Grasshopper cricket thing who I assume we might see again so that he gets united with Pinocchio, cause that was the first thing I thought)
The references are pretty good too. The jokes, the one liners were fantastic. I love how some of the humor transcends old style humor and some of the common ones today.
I was sobbing for almost the entire film cause of how well written and made it was. Jeez.
Wait, I think I've already done this before...huh deja vu.
Anyhow if I remember anything else I'll probably add it but whatever!

助けてドラえもん - Help me, Doraemon
“Please listen to this song when you feel like nothing goes your way. This is Asin Kuroda. This song is for adult Nobita-kun.”
たすけて ドラえもん ぼくもうダメかもしれない たすけにきて ドラえもん セワシは ほっておいて Help me, Doraemon I think I might be too far gone come help me, Doraemon leave Sewashi alone
失敗ばかりの 毎日 好きな子には 無視される 昨日はバイトで55回 店長に怒鳴られた this everyday is filled with failures the girl I like keeps ignoring me yesterday my boss got mad at me 55 times
どこでもドア 出してよ どこか 遠くに 行きたいんだ まあ君は もうここには いないわけだけど please put out an Anywhere Door I want to go somewhere far away but, it seems like you’re not here anymore
たすけて ドラえもん ぼくもうダメかもしれない どんどん 自分のこと キライになっちゃうんだよ help me, Doraemon I think I might be too far gone I’m slowly starting to  hate myself more and more
大人になったら 何でも 正解が分かると 思ってたけど そういうわけじゃないんだね I thought when you grow up you magically know what’s right but it seems like  it’s not that way at all
せめて夢の中くらい ヒーローに なりたいな ネトゲでも 神になれない ぼくじゃ 世界は救えない I at least wanted to become a hero inside my dream but even in videogames I can’t become god I can’t save the world
タイムマシンを出してよ あの頃に 戻りたい ダメダメなぼくだったけど 心から 笑えてた please bring out a time machine I want to go back to those times I was the same no-good me but at least I managed to laugh from the heart

でも人は そんなことで 人をキライには ならない ヒーローって強いやつの ことじゃないだろう? but you didn’t start to  hate people because of it a hero isn’t necessarily  someone strong, right?
さよなら のび太くん きっと きみは大丈夫だよ 勝ち負けばかりの世界 たまには 負けもいいだろう goodbye, Nobita-kun I’m sure you’re doing alright in a world of winning and losing it’s fine to lose once in a while
さよなら のび太くん きみは 人に笑われても 人を 笑うやつじゃない それって すごいことさ goodbye, Nobita-kun even if people laugh at you you didn’t become someone who laughs at others and that in itself is amazing
さよなら ドラえもん 今ぼくに 必要なのは どこでもドアじゃなくて ドアを開ける勇気だ goodbye, Doraemon what I need right now isn’t an Anywhere Door but the courage to open the door
ダメなぼくだけど 今日は がんばってみようかな 昨日よりも ちょっとだけ 自分を好きになれるように I’m still the same no-good me, but maybe I’ll try my best today so that I can, even by a bit like myself more than yesterday

I haven't fully decided which case studies I want to use yet, however I do have some ideas. I read through the transcript and at the start of every case study it includes a year. I was liking of looking at this as jumping through time maybe using a time machine or similar motifs to that.
Tumblr media
Here's a few images that came into my head when thinking about time travelling from already existing franchises.
The first two I thought of were Rick and Morty and portal. The reason I group these two together is cause they use a oval/ circular portal that they shoot using a gun and then they walk through to get to wherever time/place they are going. When thinking about travelling through time and portals I thought of the door motif seen in Doraemon, suzume and monsters inc. In these series the characters walk through a door to get to where they need to be. I also explored into Doraemon and realised he has another mode of transport of time travelling and thought about back to the future and doctor who where the characters need to be inside a physical machine to time travel to somewhere.
When searching up time travel I was met with a bunch of clock motifs and watches. I was thinking perhaps a time travelling watch similar to Ben Ten how he turns the dial and slaps the watch face to be able to transform.
Lastly my last idea I came up with is similar to how Mario travels in Mario 64. He jumps through paintings in peaches castle to defeat bosses. Out of all these ideas I like this one the most. I could have paintings of the innovators that are mentioned in the transcript that take him to that period of time and see's their lives and what they did.
I haven't decided what media to do this in. I feel as though I want to work in 3D but 2D would be the most time efficient way that personally I can make this in. Although I can try make it in 3D with 2D style to it or vise versa.

2023/06/22 English
BGM: Faye Wong - 夢中人
It was a day off for me, but it was raining so I spent my precious morning time really lazily (I even slept again!). After that, from 10:30 am I started using ZOOM to attend a meeting about English on ZOOM. Today we tried to make some sentences by using the useful phrases as "get along with" and "be far from". Suddenly, I made a sentence "Russia has to get along with Ukraine". Yes, it is a clearly controversial or tough one so I got embarrassed. But other members accepted this with kindness so I felt pleasure a lot. And also I tried to make another one "I'm far from bilingual"... After that, a member from India taught us an interesting concept "the millionaire mind". It was really grateful time. I went to the library and borrowed some books. I had wanted to borrow Kazuko Fujimoto's ones (one is about feminism in America, and another is about Richard Brautigan). But I found Karen Cheung's "The Impossible City" at the "new books" corner. I decided to read that by my inner voice.
I finished reading Dan SHAO's book about translation. It must contain a lot of "ingredients" (I want to say about the topics or pieces of idea this book has). But it is never "too much" for me. I have been attracted by the topic about Kurt Vonnegut (his works themselves, and how he has been read in Japan through translation). I have to say this. I have NEVER read his books so I reserved some books of collections of his short stories by the site of the library. Learning about various Japanese translators who did Vonnegut's masterpieces into Japanese (as Hisashi Asakura), I thought that it was good for me or us not to become a translator (or I have to admit that "I could never be"). Because translation means not replace English words with proper Japanese words automatically/mechanically. I need to learn the writer/author's background, and also I have to try to replace words by thinking how they belong to their context. I have to read every sentence as carefully as I can... It is really sensitive. I learned that simple and important fact by that Dan SHAO's work.
This afternoon I tried to translate the questions a Russian woman had sent to me/us into Japanese by myself. I have to say this that my skill of translation is really poor (we have to follow the fact about translation I wrote above). I want to be careful not to misread or make mistakes through that translation process... And suddenly I thought how I could start living my life with autism peacefully, like making harmony. It's important for me that I am now enjoying being a member of the "self-help" group. By joining that group, I could learn that there are some autistic people besides me in this small rural town... I can't say if I/we can invite that Russian woman in our meeting. And also I can't say exactly if it is good for us to put Japanese lifehacks into the Russian autism life/situation. But... I guess (by my inner voice) that it would work better/useful for her even it it might be a little. I have to work hard to realize that project/dream one day, in the near future.
This evening I started ZOOM again to attend another meeting. In this meeting, a member/friend shared various episodes when she had lived in Moji, a city in Kyushu area in Japan. After that, I started reading Karen Cheung's book I had borrowed this morning. I have never been in Hong Kong so should say I am ignorant. Of course, the Hong Kong was the place people had tried to achieve democracy by themselves (I can remember "The Umbrella Movement"). I once had thought that it had been clearly different from Japan. TBH I rarely enjoy travelling (or I should say "I have NEVER been out of this country"). In this morning's meeting about English, we enjoyed an "if" tale. If we had "Anywhere Door", which is an amazing tool of Doraemon. If there were Doraemon... Then I would like to go to Hong Kong and Russia to meet my friends. I also would go to Tokyo... TBH I am really, terribly broke so I stay in Shiso. But as the Underworld's song, I imagine this. Where would I go if my boss gave me "Two months off"?

About this Uncle DD who is managing supposed to be and must be the fundings about here the "house expenses" let's say managing and assisting in a good way... Receiving and producing some fundings for the main casting in the family.... If you have the power,it is a big responsibility and a good feeling to lift people,if you can have a purity of your heart and soul. But! Until now,no signs of life coming from Uncle DD...
Hmmm....We all know angels,in a lil while it will be christmas and 2023! I still feel self-pity and bitter. I wanna have starbucks everyday... I wanna see donkeys and camels... I need money for my needs and wanna buy stuff and I know I have to work and I want some self-fulfillment... I HOPE DORAEMON CAN OPEN A DOOR FOR ME...

Doraemon Movie Review: Nobita and the Island of Miracles (2012)
What is Doraemon? The title character of the Doraemon manga and anime is a blue robotic cat from the 22nd Century who keeps an array of high-tech gadgets in a portable pocket dimension on his belly, and has traveled from the future to improve the fortunes of a hapless schoolboy named Nobita. Although relatively obscure in the English-speaking world, Doraemon is a Mickey-Mouse-level cultural icon in East Asia (and some other regions, too). The Doraemon franchise was a big part of my childhood, and there are still elements of it that I enjoy now.
Doraemon has released theatrical films almost annually since 1980, most of which involve Nobita and his friends (kind Shizuka, brash Gian, and crafty Suneo) getting swept into adventures thanks to Doraemon's gadgets. Despite being of potentially broad appeal to fans of science fiction and animated films, there are very few English reviews of the Doraemon movies, so I'm embarking on a project to write about all the films that have come out so far. Good luck to me…
Tumblr media
Movie premise: Nobita and his friends travel to the 22nd Century to visit an island that has been converted into a preserve for extinct animals.
My spoiler-free take: Conceptually appealing, but severely undermined by a contrived and underdeveloped story. Sad to say, one of my least favorite Doraemon movies.
POTENTIAL SPOILERS AFTER THIS POINT
Review: By all rights, I should love this movie. I found the short story it’s based on (previously discussed here), in which Nobita tries to save moa and some other animals from extinction, to be one of the most memorable out of the Doraemon manga I’ve read, for probably obvious reasons. Nobita and the Island of Miracles not only expands on that tale, but also adds a whole host of remarkable extinct Cenozoic animals to its critter roster. (Something interesting I noticed was that whereas the original manga and next-movie teaser from the previous year’s Doraemon film incorrectly drew moa with wings, I didn’t see any scenes in this movie itself where visible wings were shown on the moa, making it possible that this was an error they caught during production.) Furthermore, one of the protagonists’ new allies in this film is a younger version of Nobita’s father who has been displaced in time, an interesting idea! From a conceptual standpoint, this movie shows a lot of promise.
Sorry to say, however, I like very little about Nobita and the Island of Miracles. To start off, there’s the premise that the extinct animals on the island preserve are sustained by the “life force” emitted by an immortal golden beetle that lives there. (No, this is never elaborated on any further.) The existence of this golden beetle drives much of the story, and yet it simultaneously feels wholly unnecessary. As an explanation for how the extinct animals can live on the island? That could have been chalked up to 22nd Century animal husbandry. As a source of wonder for the protagonists? One might think seeing extinct animals alive would have been enough. As a target for the villains to go after? The movie would have worked just as well if they’d wanted to poach the extinct animals.
Then there’s the fact that the entire story is built on contrivance after contrivance. Doraemon and Nobita bring the moa into their home by complete chance, unlike the original manga in which Nobita actively wanted to rescue extinct species. The reason Nobita’s father ends up in the 22nd Century as a child comes down to a series of accidents and a robot employee from the animal preserve being incredibly incompetent at his job. Doraemon sends all his weapon gadgets away for maintenance, and then the plot still has to devise ways to make most of his remaining gadgets unusable. (Why did he try hitting a charging Elasmotherium with the Anywhere Door?!) Right when the heroes need to fight a giant mech, Doraemon happens to rummage out his Big Light, which happens to turn on and happens to shine on a beetle that the main characters didn’t know was there. The list goes on...
The movie also tries to force emotional moments that don’t always work. For example, one scene has the main characters reminisce about their experiences with their parents, which was nice and all, but felt thematically odd at the same time. Despite Nobita’s father being a major character here, most of the story doesn’t particularly focus on the interactions between the kids and their parents. A conversation like this would have been more fitting in, say, Nobita and the Birth of Japan. (It also doesn’t help that much of the dialogue for this segment appears to have been borrowed from the 1974 manga chapter “Mom Swap”.)
Suneo of all characters gets a good bit of characterization in this film... or it would be good if it weren’t immediately undercut. When he and Koron, the young granddaughter of the village chief on the island*, are captured by the villains**, he tries to reassure her by saying the others will rescue them, even adding that Nobita is actually quite dependable in situations like this. (It’s rare to hear Suneo say anything good about Nobita!) Not only that, but when the villains threaten Suneo in an attempt to persuade Koron to give them information about the golden beetle, Suneo continues to insist that she shouldn’t tell them, a very brave gesture compared to his usual reactions to danger. Unfortunately, just then a pendant made out of a fossil of the golden beetle’s horn***, worn by Koron’s pet dodo, starts glowing, giving away the beetle’s location and rendering Suneo’s heroism moot. By the way, the fact that the pendant glows in response to the beetle and that this phenomenon can be used to track the beetle’s location are never mentioned before this.
*Yep, there’s a village of humans living in the middle of this extinct animal preserve. Why are they there? This is not explained.
**At least it’s not Shizuka getting kidnapped for once... 
***Why is there a fossil of the beetle’s horn if the beetle is still alive? This is also not explained.
Meanwhile, Nobita is panicking over how they’re supposed to save Suneo and Koron without any of Doraemon’s weapon gadgets. After this goes on for some time, Shizuka tells him to get a grip, saying (paraphrased), “Can you do nothing without Doraemon’s gadgets? I hate cowards like you!” Whoa! As much as I’d normally welcome Shizuka displaying aspects of her personality other than straightforward niceness, this reproach felt unearned, because Nobita’s concern came across as completely valid: how are some children, peaceful villagers, and a babysitting robot supposed to contend with 22nd Century criminals without weapons? What’s more, when the heroes eventually reach the villains’ doorstep, Doraemon reveals that he does still have a few potentially useful gadgets left after all. Maybe you should have brought that up back when the others were panicking and arguing!
Probably the most ridiculous part of this movie, however, is when the protagonists respond to the villain leader bringing out a giant mech by... running around and yelling. Somehow, this actually works to stop the villain from attacking. Maybe he was just as confused as the audience was...
Tumblr media
(This is so far the only Doraemon film I’ve watched in theaters, and this may well have been the most awkward scene I’ve ever seen in a cinema.)
Now, how do I end this on a positive note...? Well, I guess we got this relatable Shizuka moment.

How did you help your blog gain attention? Im a bby writer and need help 🥺👉👈
Hello! Welcome to the fandom bby!!🥰🥰🥰
Okay, so I actually never have a thought about how my blog got attention or how to gain attention? Because okay, in how I see things here, never put your hopes solely to gain a lot of attention.
Make a story and fiction that you loves first, make sure you really loves writing it... With that, no matter how many attention you got, you could still be happy with the results because you enjoy writing it...
Like, see the attention you got as a sweet bonus for your hardwork! Enjoy writing every little piece, just love the character and such... Because if you focuses on how many likes that you got, how many people reblog you your fiction, you wouldn't be satisfied, baby💞💞💞
Yes having a lot of reblogged and likes seems like you are a successful writer... But from the start I know there will always be people who wrote for years and maybe a professional writer too... So basically this is how my mind works:
1. Write something because you want to write it
2. Remember that attention is a sweet bonus, not the main goal
3. Always make a room to improve yourself (Not change yourself)
4. Befriend. No, not in hoping you got attention. But so you know the same struggle as you need to rant and some people will be there for you when you are down in this fandom.
I am sorry if this is not what you are looking for, baby. But this is like what keeps me sane in this fanfiction world. Tho if you really want to got attention, tags really helped tho! And like, make sure your first line already a bomb, because that's what makes people on keep reading your words...
All of those reasons above was so we could be satisfied with the results only, love! Because I used to checking out every hour how many likes or how many people actually read my works... And trust me, you don't want to feel like that and I don't want you to fall to the same routine... That's why I gave you all of these long ass paragraph. at least on the phone it feels long
I hope what I say could help you survive in this fanfiction world! I am sure everything that you write must be awesome because everyone has their own writing style and each person always so good with their words🥺
Please don't hesitate to message me or ask something if you need anything. Either as a writer, or a friends. I am in, okay? 🥰🥰🥰
With crazy amount of support,
Eycee💕

Pranking Mikey Headcanons
Got longer than I expected  💀 more after the cut!
Tumblr media
Bold of you to try
So you know he loves doriyaki, he has it almost every day pack it up Doraemon 🙄✋
And you'd consider yourselves to be pretty close
Deep enough in the relationship for you to even attempt to do this
You don't do it on April fools so he won't suspect anything
Your brilliant mind planning the ultimate Mikey prank
Making him doriyaki, but with a twist
Substituting the sugar for salt, and using unsweetened black beans instead
While you're putting it together you laugh to yourself, imagining the look on his face when he bites into it
You do consider his feelings for a second, the betrayal he's gonna feel
So you buy him a regular doriyaki from him favorite place
When you meet him outside, the smile on his face makes you wanna cancel everything
Abort mission
Just give him the one you bought
But no, you gots to see it through my boi
He hugs you as a greeting
Guilt is seeping through your pores rn
"Hey y/n! What smells so good?"
You don't know, the house next door was probably making breakfast, but you roll with it
"I made you something!"
You grab the doriyaki in your bag, handing it to him
Your hands are lowkey shaking
His face was so precious in that moment
The sparkle in his eye, surprised look on his face
Oh the guilt
"Woah! You made this yourself? Thank you!"
No please, no need for thanks
Sweating intensifies
He unwraps it and takes a huge bite
Big mistake
He grimaces but sees you watching him
It’s disgusting but he doesn’t wanna make you feel bad
Powers through it, smiling
“Mmm, it’s uh, it has a unique flavor”
“Mikey spit it out”
Don’t have to tell him twice
He disposes of the wrapper, wiping his mouth
“I’m sorry y/n, but you did your best”
He pats your head
“It was a prank”
You try to stifle a laugh, his face showing the gears turning in his head
You give him the store bought doriyaki in your bag and he takes it
Looks at it very carefully though
Turns around and starts whispering numbers
“Mikey?”
“I chewed that for exactly 7 seconds, add on pain and suffering... you owe me 7,000 store bought doriyaki”
Emphasis on “store bought”
You laugh and say “I can do a doriyaki a day for the rest of the month”
“From the store!”
“From the store” you nod

Part 22: An unexpected news happens, Player 3...? What will you two decide to do?
Warnings: Pregnancy symptoms such as nausea, the word vomit, period...
Part 21 - Part 22 - Part 23
From the beginning
You woke up on an empty bed, some rays of sun passing through the small openings of the curtains. February 15th, 9:03 can be read in the phone alongside some messages from Kenma
[Gamerboy💘] “Hi Kitten, remember that I had a meeting today and I had to come😒” “I hate to leave you waking up alone, but you have been so tired lately that I didn’t have the heart to wake you up” “I’m gonna try to get home as soon as I can. Love you”
[Me] “It’s okay Mr. CEO, try to pay attention to the meeting” “Please do, I miss you. Love you too”
After the Black Jackals won their first match of the Premier League against Schweiden Adlers, their energy and confidence led them to win the V. Premier League. Right now all of you are in a small break before the guys start to practice again, this time for a tournament that would help decide the players for the Olympics next year, so everyone was stressed out. These past weeks you've been feeling so much more tired than you ever had, so this rest was much needed.
You stand up from the bed to make some breakfast, but as soon as you stand up some dizziness appears, making you grab the bed immediately. Blaming it on exhaustion, you decided to ignore it, after all you just finished a big tournament, so what else could it be?
After eating and doing some basic house chores, you went to play Animal Crossing while laying on the couch. A few hours passes when you hear the door open, revealing an exhausted Kenma, who takes his shoes as fast as he can and moves fast to where you are.
"Hi love" says laying down on top of you, wrapping his arms around your waist
"Hi love" you chuckle when he takes your hand and puts it on his head, his body relaxing completely "was it that bad?"
"I hate meetings so much, why do I have to go? I’d rather be with you"
"Maybe because you’re the CEO of the company? If it makes you feel better, your software makes my job much easier"
"That’s why I keep going to those" he stands up "Here, I bought you this on the way back. I’m going to change"
"I swear, if you put those Nekoma sweatpants I’m throwing them away" you say looking at the doraemon keychain and some chocolates that he brought
"They’re comfy!"
"And full of holes. You have more, put those"
"Fine, but don’t you dare to throw them away, they have lots of memories attached"
"What types of memories? Like when I had to drag you to the gym? Or when you whined that you didn’t want to practice?" You shake your head chuckling
"Well, mostly because this uniform helped me to have many amazing things and people in my life…you included" says nonchalantly
"You became so cheesy"
After he changed, you spend the rest of the morning cuddling while updating each other on your days, deciding to order some food while he plays with Lev and Yamamoto. You pass him the food as he plays while sitting on the couch, also eating.
After a few bites, you start to feel incredibly nauseous, so you cover your mouth fast.
"You alright love?" asks Kenma, he always notices these things
"Yeah, yeah, I’m fin-" you tried to say, but the sudden urge to vomit appeared, making you stand up immediately to the bathroom
"Love, hey, hey it’s okay" says Kenma, hand in your back while you sit in the floor of the bathroom, nothing coming out "nauseous?"
"Yeah, I thought I…would…"
"It’s alright, don’t force it" he helps you up, going back to his room with worried eyes "sure you okay?"
"Yeah, I guess the stress finally caught up to me. I’m going to nap for a while"
"Want to cuddle? I can stop playing…"
"No, no it’s alright, I don't feel that bad. You keep playing, if I feel worse, I’ll tell you"
"Oka, but please let me know if anything else happens"
"I will. Don’t worry, it’s just a nap" you kiss his cheek, giving him a smile.
However, as soon as you leave his office, you go into your phone. The symptoms can be due to stress but if your period is late, it can be…
Oh.
You had been so busy with the guys and practice that you didn’t notice that your period was supposed to be two weeks ago.
Instead of going to sleep you quietly leave the house and go to the nearest convenience store to buy some pregnancy test, slightly panicking. Back on the house you go directly to the bathroom; with hands shaking as you read the instructions and take it.
2 lines, both of the tests. They were positive
You were sitting there, slowly processing the information. The only time you've talked about children was when you made that comment about them having a double nationality. You knew that Kenma wouldn’t suggest anything that you didn't want, he probably won't even be mad, but that doesn’t make it less scary.
You go to his room and open the door slowly, shaking in the process. His forehead with a frown speaking angrily
"God Lev, how the fuck are you so bad?! It’s literally pressing two buttons!" says before noticing you at the door, face softening immediately "are you okay love? Did I wake you?"
"N-no, can you…"
"What is it?" He takes your hand and pulls you over to his lap
"Can you…stop playing for a bit?"
"Of course" says frowning, he then says something to the guys turning off his computer, looking back at you with worried eyes while taking your face delicately "What’s going on, kitten? And don’t you dare to tell me it’s nothing"
"…I’m pregnant" you bluntly say,tears going down your cheeks, not sure what emotions were taking over. Kenma's eyes widen while looking at the tests, but soon enough his arms go to your waist "we’re...having a baby"
"A baby…our baby…I’m going to be a dad…we’re going to be a family" says hugging you even tighter
"Yeah…we are…I’m scared" you say, making him chuckle softly
"I’m scared too, neither of us planned this, but I know we can do it. We will figure it out just like we’ve figured out everything in our relationship, together" says while connecting your foreheads "You’ll be the one dealing with the physical changes, but I’m always gonna be there for you, always"
"I know, never really doubt that… it’s just…terrifying"
"It is, but you know?" says looking directly at your eyes, his soft smile appearing "I’m also really excited to start a family with the love of my life"
"When you put it like that it doesn't sound so bad" you chuckle softly, before looking at him "are you sure you want this? I can always look for abor-"
"I want it, I truly do" he stops you before giving you a kiss "We can do this" says closing the gap between your lips.
For the next few minutes you two are a mix between cries, soft chuckles and lots of kisses. After calming down properly, he takes you to the living room, sitting you in between his legs while you eat something, talking about some of the details that were about to come
"How dare you?" He pokes your waist softly
"Eh?"
"Back in high school I never wanted to be in a relationship, let alone get married or have a kid…and then you came around and changed everything. How dare you?" says looking at you playfully
"Is it bad that I did that?"
"No…not at all"
"Good, because I love you"
"I love you too, pretty. Thank you for coming to my life" he smiles with his eyes shining
"Thank you for letting me enter"

Evan: Watch out!
The floor of the elevator suddenly tilts, the powerful force of the action knocking us into the wall. Evan raised a hand, bracing it against the wall while he used the other to shield me within his embrace.
The sound of screeching metal against metal rang out in the air as the elevator, which had originally stopped, continued plummeting once more!
The ear-piercing roar intensified, and all I could see were the red digits counting down with tremendous speed. Tears spilt forth from my eyes like a rushing stream.
My entire world spirals as the feeling of weightlessness crashed down upon my being, its clutches iron-clad. I closed my eyes in utter terror, my heart seemingly stopping.
Only one thought was reverberating in my mind: I don’t want to die like this!
❖☆———————————★❖
Tumblr media
Evan: Hold on tight.
The arm around my waist tightened its grip while the palm at the back of my head patted twice in reassurance.
The elevator was freezing and dark, yet this embrace was all-consuming and so very warm. It gradually calmed my panic-stricken heartbeats.
Evan: There’s no need to be afraid.
Evan kept his gaze firmly on the rapidly changing display panel within the darkness of the lift, a deep crease between his brows. An increasingly vibrant crimson hue flashes past his eyes.
As the crimson fades into nothingness, the elevator jolts thrice more before coming to a standstill.
Ba-thump, ba-thump…
A set of calm and panicked heartbeats resonated, ringing out within the small enclosed space.
❖☆———————————★❖
Evan: Okay. Everything's fine now.
I didn’t dare to see if the elevator would continue plummeting once more. My body stiffened, tightly coiled and unwilling to relax.
Then, a beam of light shone from a phone to the elevator’s door. It shook slightly from side to side.
Tumblr media
Evan: Does this make it a little better?
MC: Yeah…
I had yet to recover from the shock. I clung tightly onto his sleeves, nodding dazedly.
Evan: Don't be scared. We'll be able to get out soon, trust me.
He placed the phone into my hand. He then reached into his pocket, procuring two pen caps.
❖☆———————————★❖
Tumblr media
Evan slotted both pen caps onto each of his index fingers and crossed them. The shadow of a little rabbit was cast upon the halo of light shining against the elevator door.
As if frightened, the little rabbit trembled twice. Its two floppy long ears hung close to its body as it huddled against the ground.
❖☆———————————★❖
MC: This is a frightened rabbit.
Evan: Yes, well… It resembles your earlier self quite a bit.
He looked at me, a mischievous smile surfacing within his eyes.
Not wanting to lose out, I picked up the two pen caps and lifted them. The rabbit shadow cast upon the door suddenly became much more lively.
Tumblr media
MC: As if!
Evan: Then, why do you always seem to be in such a pickle whenever I see you?
I opened and closed my mouth, unable to formulate a response against that. The last time I met him, I was frantically trying to get out of the way of danger. And this time, the elevator broke down, and I even clung onto him so hard that his clothes were all crumpled and wrinkly...
In the end, I still needed him to comfort me.
MC: I definitely won't be in one the next time we meet.
Evan: Oh?
MC: I'm actually pretty brave! Normally… I just never expected an accident like this to befall us so suddenly out of nowhere.
Evan: It doesn't matter whether or not you're brave. You've still fared splendidly earlier.
His smile was filled with firm assurance. It made me subconsciously throw all fear and panic that I’d felt right out the window.
MC: You’ve been stuck here for so long. Wouldn’t it affect your work?
MC: You’re supposed to be preparing for the succession ceremony, aren't you? Yet, you ended up disappearing for so long.
Evan nodded, seemingly troubled.
MC: I can help vouch for you that we were stuck in the elevator if the CEO gets mad at you.
Tumblr media
Evan: Do you… know who's the CEO?
MC: Nope. Although, I’ve heard the others talk about how nice he is; about how he’s a gentleman and about how he’s very easy to approach.
MC: And about how he’s very hardworking. He arrives at the company earlier than everyone else and only leaves in the morning when everyone’s gone...
MC: But these are all rumours, so it’s bound to be a little exaggerated here and there.
The mirth in his eyes only grew.
Evan: Hmm… and?
MC: And I think he’s like Doraemon! Only in my head, of course.
MC: I hear that he can even magic out band-aids and bruises spray from his pocket in the dead of the night!
A warm smile slowly forms on his face. Looks like my words managed to amuse him well.
❖☆———————————★❖
Tumblr media
Ding-dong!
The lights above us flashed twice before coming back to life, followed by the “ding” that denoted a floor arrival.
MC: We're saved?
❖☆———————————★❖
The elevator doors slowly slid open to reveal a well-built man. His eyes widened in surprise upon seeing us.
Tumblr media
??: ……!
Evan: Sorry. I have some business to tend to. Can Zhou Yan send you over instead?
MC: No need. You can just go on ahead, I’ll be fine by myself.
Evan nods and doesn’t say anything more.
I waved at him before running straight to the front desk.
❖☆———————————★❖
Tumblr media
To prevent the accident with the elevator from happening again, I reported the incident to the administration about how it had broken down earlier.
❖☆———————————★❖
Tumblr media
Time passed quickly in the afternoon, and soon, it was almost time for the CEO’s succession ceremony to begin. The venue was already filled with people the moment I entered.
The media were all armed to the teeth with their mics and cameras at the ready as they all wanted to be the first ones to catch a glimpse of how the new CEO of the Warson Group looked like.
Hao Shuai: The back row's still empty. Let's move over. No one's gonna find out if we sleep in the back!
Li Man'man: I don't think that's a good idea…
Man With Quiff Hairstyle: When's this going to go on till? It's getting in the way of my work.
Brother Mao: See if anyone's gonna give you their time of the day here, Mr. Oh-I'm-so-serious.
Zheng Lin: We can't do that. The administration has already allocated seats for each Team. We're up front.
Brother Mao: Front seats are a win! I wanna see the true face of this mysterious CEO!
Everyone followed Zheng Lin, seating themselves in the front row.
The ceremony soon began. The announcer fixed up the mic. And after making a simple and brief introduction as an opening remark, the announcer raised his hand in a gesture for the next person to take the stage.
Announcer: Next, let us invite the new CEO of the Warson Group, Evan Lu, to speak!
Evan? I suddenly recalled the signature that had been beneath my offer from Warson.
Tumblr media
Evan: Good afternoon, everyone. I thank you all for taking the time to attend the ceremony today despite your busy schedules.
Evan: I am Evan, and I will be taking over as the new CEO of the Warson Group.
I thought I’d misheard him. I dumbfoundedly raised my head.
It felt as if everything around me had gone out of focus. All I could see was the bright stage with all its brilliant lights and the man who stood in the centre of it.
My saviour from the Café back then; the one who comforted me back in the elevator, and the person currently standing on the stage… They were the one and the same.
I can't believe he's the CEO…
But now that I think about it; it all made sense. It was only logical for him to have been near the show venue of the competition if he was the Warson Group's new CEO. And it would make sense why he'd told me that he was preparing for the succession ceremony earlier as well.
Who would've thought that this was how everything played out to be...
Dumbfounded, I stared up at Evan. Those calm and bright eyes of his cut through the crowd and faced me, as if our minds were one.
It was alight with a warmth akin to the one that had been reflected within his eyes in the darkness of the elevator.
I was still stupefied by the time the succession ceremony came to a close and everyone left.
It was then that a cup of coffee appeared before me.
MC: … This is?
Tumblr media
Zhou Yan: I'm Zhou Yan, Mr. Lu's assistant. We apologize for the scare you had earlier. This is from him.
He slipped the coffee into my grasp without a word before turning and disappearing into the crowd.
There was a familiar logo on the coffee cup. It was from the Café that Evan and I had met.
It was just like an inadvertent reminder that no matter what his identity, that wouldn't change the moments we'd shared before this day.
Tumblr media
MC: Thank you, Doraemon.
