The farmer’s market in Altissia was bustling early in the morning, which was good for Ignis. He had woken up early, extracting himself from a very clingy Prompto - not that he minded, oh no. He adored that Prompto was such a cuddly sleeper, as it helped him to stay asleep for much longer, sometimes to a fault. But no one seemed to mind that their breakfast was a little late sometimes due to his incapability to wake up at the crack of dawn since confessing his feelings to Prompto. Today was a unique exception, as they had arrived at Altissia late the day before, and today was a day to get acclimated to the city. So Ignis decided to go and explore, and found himself in the farmer’s market. 

He picked through produce, looking for the very best that the stalls had to offer. He had seen them the night before when they’d gone to meet Weskham, who was a very nice gentleman. He could see why the King was friends with him, as he was proving to be a vital asset to their own group. He had pointed them towards the Leville, and had offered them free drinks and food, should they find themselves thirsty and hungry. They took him up on his offer the first night, but Ignis would not rely on that service again. 

“Is there something in particular you’re looking for?” A lovely woman asked him, standing behind her wares of fruit. “Are you looking for something unique? Something familiar?” 

“I’m just looking for now.” He didn’t want to be rude, as he was having a nice time browsing, but he knew that the woman needed to make some money. “How much are those melons?” He pointed to a group of green melons near where she was standing. 

“These normally are fifteen gil a piece, but if you buy two, I’ll give you a third for free.” 

It was a tempting offer. “Would you sell me two, and give me two for free?” 

“I think that can be arranged.” She began to look for the ripest melons for him. 

Ignis walked away from her stall with his melons in a bag, and went to a nearby stall that was selling nuts and cheeses. Most of the items here were for grazing, rather than for creating a specific meal, which was fine for him. His three friends seemed to pick and eat more than have a proper meal for every single meal of the day. Ignis has tried to make it so that they enjoy breakfast and dinner together, while lunch can be done in any sort of fashion that is suited to the individuals. 

Something orange caught his eye. “Aha!” He looked at the gourd, and picked it up with one hand. “How much for this beauty?” He asked the stall owner, who was finishing up a conversation with another buyer. 

“Ten gil, sir.” 

He handed him the money, and added it to his bag with his melons. There were a few more stalls he visited, grabbing a few different items to take back with him to their suite. Once he was finished shopping, he hopped onto a gondola, and headed back to the hotel. 

Everyone was still fast asleep when he entered the suite. Noctis and Gladio were sharing one room, while he and Prompto were sharing the other. It was fine - Noctis and Gladio knew about his and Prompto’s relationship, as he made it no secret to them. He didn’t think it was fair to keep Prompto hidden, when he cared for him so much. The blond had really made an impact on him, and he couldn’t help but make it known to the world at large. 

Cutting up some melon, he took it to the bedroom he was sharing with Prompto, and saw that he was sprawled out on the bed, taking up the entire mattress. The sheet was down low around his hips, revealing his naked chest, with the slightest showing of his underwear beneath the sheets. Ignis pulled his phone out and quietly snapped a picture of his love, who looked delightfully beautiful in his passed out state. 

Ignis set the plate down next to where Prompto’s head should have been, but since the pillows had been moved to the center of the bed, it gave Ignis a place to sit down without being encumbered. “Darling, wake up.” He leaned over and spoke quietly into his ear. “I’ve brought something for you.”

“Mmmm….” Prompto rolled over, and put his head directly onto his lap, causing Ignis to smile. He brought his gloved hand down to Prompto’s blond hair, and gently brushed some off of his face. “Iggy?” Violet eyes were soon looking up at him, after Prompto blinked a few times to get the sleep out of his eyes. His smile increased, as Prompto gazed up at him with a look of both happiness and slight confusion in them. “Is that you?” 

“I hope so.” He teased, loving how confused Prompto was when he first woke up. It’s been something he’s been enjoying these last few weeks, as they’ve become very close to one another. “Who else would it be?” 

“I dunno.” A soft yawn left Prompto’s mouth as he snuggled closer to Ignis’ lap. “You left?” 

“I did.” Ignis nodded his head, while his fingers somehow found their way back to Prompto’s hair. He slowly began to play with his soft strands. “I’ve been gone for a little over an hour.” 

“An hour?!” That woke up the blond, who sat up a bit too quickly. Ignis reached for his upper arms, steading him as he swayed a little from moving too fast. “Thank you, Iggy.” Prompto leaned forward, resting his head against Ignis’ shoulder. 

Smiling, he put his arm around him. “I brought you something.” 

“What did you bring me?” The weight on his shoulder disappeared as Prompto sat back up. “Is it something edible? I hope so, because I’m starving.” 

He reached for the plate, and presented it to him. “I know you like melons, so I thought this would be a nice treat for breakfast.” 

“Iggy!” Prompto threw his arms around his neck. Before the melon could fall, Ignis set the plate down on the bed, and returned the enthusiastic hug. “This is so nice! Thank you!” 

“You are quite welcome, darling.” He brushed a soft kiss to his cheek, then picked up the plate to hand to him. “Why do you enjoy this, while I go and get the other melon cut up for the Prince and Gladiolus?” 

“You didn’t do it all together?” Ignis shook his head. “You must really love me.” 

His cheeks grew warm at Prompto’s comment. It was innocent, and he knew Prompto didn’t mean it in the way he was currently taking it, but that didn’t stop him from thinking about it. Is this love? He’d been so involved with the Prince for most of his life, that he never once thought about what it would be like to fall in love with someone. Could this be that? He looked forward to spending time with Prompto. He slept better when Prompto was near him. On the nights that Prompto wound up between Noctis and Gladiolus - those were the most difficult for him, as he slept poorly. He would wait for Prompto’s reactions to his cooking, and would only smile when Prompto made a particular face which meant he really liked the dish. 

Oh. 

This is love. 

Ignis gave Prompto a small smile, then stood up from the bed while Prompto continued to eat his melon. “I’ll return soon, darling.” 

He left the room, very aware that he hadn’t bothered to contradict Prompto. As he sliced up the rest of the melon, he was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn’t hear either the Prince, or Gladio, as the two came over to him. It took someone snapping their fingers directly in front of his face to pull him out of his thinking. 

“You good, Ignis?” Gladio asked, pointing to his knife. “You’ve been slicing air for about two minutes now.” 

Looking down, he could see that the melon had all been cut, and there was nothing left for him to slice. “Oh. I see.” He set his knife down, then looked at Noctis, who was staring at him with a knowing expression on his face. “Your breakfast.” He pointed to the cut melon, then grabbed a few slices for himself. 

“Should we save some for Prompto?” Noctis asked. 

Ignis shook his head. “No, he already has some.” 

“I bet he does.” 

He didn’t hear the Prince though, as he was already walking back to the room he shared with Prompto. He had to talk to him, otherwise this was going to drive him mad.

Prompto was finishing the last piece of melon when he entered the room. “Iggy!” Prompto set the empty plate down. “You’re back so soon!” 

“Was I gone for long?” He came to a sudden stop, not at all sure where he was going with this. “I didn’t think I was.” 

“You weren’t, don’t worry.” The bedsheet fell off of Prompto as he stood up, and walked over to him in only his underwear. “Are you okay, Iggy? You look a little pale.” 

Pushing his glasses back up onto the bridge of his nose, he gave a sharp nod of his head. “I am, Prompto. I…I need to tell you something.” 

“Oh, no.” Prompto quickly sat back down on the edge of the bed, a worried look coming over his face. “What’s wrong??” 

“What?” He blinked, then shook his head. “Nothing is wrong. Quite the opposite.” He went over to where Prompto was, and reached for his hand. He felt a bit calmer with Prompto’s fingers now lacing with his, the weight of his hand against his feeling divine. “I want you to know that I love you.” 

“I know, Iggy.” Prompto leaned his head against his shoulder. 

“No, I mean, I’m in love with you, Prompto.” 

“I know.” Prompto’s eyes met his, a mischievous smile on his lips as Ignis stared at him with wonder in his own eyes. “You’re in love with me. Just like how I’m in love with you.” 

It made his chest feel like it was on fire, hearing Prompto say the words back to him. He brought his hand up to his lips and planted a kiss on the back of his hand. “I didn’t know. When you asked me about cutting up your fruit before everyone else, it sort of hit me.” 

“Oh, is that why you left??” Prompto laughed. “Oh, Iggy. What am I going to do with you?” 

“I suppose you’ll need to be patient with me, as I was unaware of the most simple thing.” He lowered his head, and laid a sweet kiss on the blond’s lips. “I love you.” 

“I love you too.” The words were whispered against his lips before Prompto pressed another kiss to them. “I like saying it.” 

“I like hearing you say it.” Ignis admitted. 

Prompto kissed him again. “I won’t tell the others, Iggy. This can stay between the two of us.” 

“Whatever you wish, darling.” He murmured against his lips, hungry for another taste. 

Sharing a few more kisses, Ignis reluctantly pulled away from Prompto knowing that they had a long day ahead of them. “I’m going to go shower, Iggy.” Prompto stood up from the bed, his face and neck slightly flushed. “I won’t be long.”

“Enjoy your shower.” He resisted the urge to join him, having already showered himself before heading out to shop for breakfast for his friends. 

There was still much to be done before the Prince was to make his pact with the Hydraean tomorrow. They had to meet with the first secretary of Altissia to finalize the preparations for what needed to be done. They had to get the citizens out of the city, as they knew that the Niflheim army was going to be making their own stand against them. But knowing that Prompto was going to be nearby, it made the overwhelming tasks seem less difficult. 

Ignis knew that there would be plenty of time to spend together after the pact was made. He would make sure Prompto knew just how much he loved him after the ceremony. Until then, he had to focus on the tasks at hand. It was going to be a very, very long day.

The Monster Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickinson

A reread to prepare me for book 3 because lord knows I can’t remember these plots and characters and intrigues and backstories two years after I read it. I can barely keep track of the plot while it’s happening.

Two reasons why this series is kicking off my spooky season reads: I am a bi woman who is terrified of Incrastic hygiene, and the Canciroth is the thing of nightmares.

#cinnamon reads of 2020 #currently reading: still the witching hour #i might finish it this weekend? #we'll see #also reading books of blood v1 #i should finish it today and then go onto v2 #which is not that much of an achievement because my copy is v1-v3 #and next up: baru 3 #which will surely give me nightmares

Venti

While his hands are relatively soft to hold, his fingertips are a bit rough due to plucking his lyre strings for hundreds of years. It’s not a bad feeling but his fingertips are a bit more sensitive compared to the palm of his hand. If you want to hear this bard shriek just cover your hand in some slime condensate and hold your hands together and never let go. No matter how windy it gets. 

Venti has no issues with linking hands together even when you’re both friends. If it’s to drag you off somewhere and away from whatever important task you have to do that day domain farming he’ll do it. He think’s it’s really sweet when you hold his hand a bit tighter whenever he has to use his elemental skill to give you a small boost to grab that last violet grass. 

He has a habit of swinging your hands together if you’re both walking side by side. His other hand will gesture as he rambles on about a new song or story he heard of and he might even gesture with both hands. He refuses to let go of your hand though so your arm is on a ride whenever he get’s to a really intense part. 

For Venti, holding hands is a sign of stability rather than affection. He may be the archon of anemo with a strong sense of freedom but he is quite lonely. He was asleep for a long time so the people he used to know have long since passed. While the wind flows and rushes past everything, being able to hold your hand stables him onto the ground. 

Diluc

Despite being a pyro vision user, Diluc’s body temperature is on the cooler side. It might be because of elemental reactions on the body or that’s just how Diluc is. Either way, his hands are relatively cool to the touch that it always surprises you. You always give a small reflexive flinch expecting warmth from the red-haired man’s hand, but you’ll slowly relax and connect your fingers together. 

Diluc has an aloof personality and enjoys his personal space but he is a kind person deep down. A tiny bit touched starved but he’s never going to say that out loud. So he doesn’t mind if you want to hold hands but if you’re going to initiate it, you’re committing to it. If you want to give him something akin to a handshake, just shake his hand instead. But if you hold his hand and let go, he’s snatching your hand back. 

He tends to rub small shapes into your hand unconsciously. There’s something relaxing in the act and you don’t seem to mind. Though sometimes he needs to adjust his glove but then he’s right back to holding your hand. Diluc isn’t necessarily embarrassed with public affection, he’s just busy and he’s never been in a relationship before or one where he’d consider friendly interaction. 

As weird as it seems to others, Diluc prefers to have his palm rest against your wrist. His hand is bigger than yours so that he can still wrap your fingers together, but feeling your pulse against his palm gives me peace of mind. It means you’re alive and you’re right beside him. 

Zhongli

There’s never a specific moment where you and Zhongli hold hands. Even when the both of you are walking together, your hands stay to your own sides. You never ask to hold hands and he never initiates but that’s alright. You both have different way so of communicating your affections. Zhongli is naturally blunt and straightforward with his affection but it’s usually in unprompted moments. You both could be working on paperwork and he’ll mention out of the blue how he enjoys your presence in his life, offer you a small genuine smile, and hold your hand in his. You’re not too sure what the appeal of doing paperwork is but to each their own.? 

His hands are a bit stiff and weighty but it’s a comfortable feeling. While Zhongli is a bit naïve and awkward when it comes to handling mora he’s quite smooth in slipping his hand in yours so naturally. Whether it be because your hands looked cold or he just wanted to, both end up flustering you. It’s kind of cute when he has to write something down but can’t because he refuses to let go of your hand. He ends up writing with his left and the penmanship is actually legible that it makes you kinda proud at how randomly talented Zhongli can be sometimes. 

Zhongli doesn’t have any habits when it comes to holding hands but he usually prefers to hold hands firmly together rather than a loose hold. He say’s some spiritual take on the matter, that rock’s should be sturdy to support the one’s above and likewise so should the joining of two hands, but it really just kills the mood.  

He’s secretly a bit of a tease so he enjoys seeing you turn pink whenever he holds your hand. Zhongli enjoys peace and quiet so whenever it’s just the two of you together working on mundane things, it allows him to take a small step back and just bask in your features and your presence. You’ll soon note his staring and ask if there’s something wrong but there isn’t. Not now at least. So he’ll smile calmly and remark how he wishes this moment would last.

Subliminal in Scrubs (the records) |  navi. | m.list

The orientation went by like a breeze with Ms. Narae’s quick run throughs of Woocheon’s clinical processes and systems, training programs, hospital expectations, and the explanation of the rest of the map of the hospital you weren’t able to cover during your tour earlier. Before she wraps up, she retrieves your IDs from underneath the table and places them on top of the desk for everyone to get later.  She dismisses the orientation exactly ten minutes before twelve, requesting everyone to head straight to their department’s on-call room after the break.

Soomin, who you’ve recently discovered to have her own Youtube channel, takes out her phone and records a video. You watch from the side as Soomin does her thing, until she tries to call you all over and officially introduce you as good friends turned work colleagues to all her subscribers. 

You hadn’t really expected this whole vlogger thing from her, especially when Soomin was a bit reserved when you were first acquainted with each other, but then again, as your friendship grew, you realized that she had a bit of Chohee in her as well and you thought that’s what caused you to gravitate towards her naturally. 

“Anybody up for lunch?” Soomin asks, rubbing her hands together after she finishes her short recording and tucks her phone back in her pocket. “Yeah, I’m starving...” you murmur, placing a hand on your belly as you hear your stomach grumble its complaint. 

“I heard Woocheon is known to have the best hospital food in Korea. Ever.” Jungkook says, looking around. You’re starting to get skeptical about how Jungkook is lingering around Jimin...Or was it the other way around now? “Shall we?” With Jungkook’s undeniable proposition, Soomin briefly glances at your reluctant face, her own lips pursing with your reaction. “Fine,” you sigh. 

There’s no getting rid of Jungkook now. 

Woocheon’s cafeteria...does not look like a cafeteria at all. 

You weren’t expecting an...urban haven of some sort, a portion of the hospital that you had least envisioned to what seems to be the warmest part of Woocheon. The laminated flooring, faux wooden grain wall panels, along with the suspended lights from this wave-like uneven wooden ceiling - it was as picturesque as a spread on an interior design magazine. 

The interior could easily outrival any other kitchen in the city. “Are you sure this is not some hotel we just walked into?” Jimin questions as he marvels over the sleek urban design of the cafeteria. There’s even a café - which you recognize holds the same logo as Good Day café. You ought to confirm this with Jimin later. 

As you near the serving area, the unmistakable aroma of roast beef fills your senses, making you hungrier than you were just seconds before. “Please don’t tell me Woocheon is actually serving roast beef...” 

You practically salivate at the sight of the food in the counters, a lot of which you realized were influenced by western food culture. There were three different kinds of salad to choose from, baked potatoes, burgers, seafood stew, stir-fried meat, as well as the Korean classic side dishes that you’d never miss in a meal.  And, true to your trusty sense of smell, roast beef was at the end of the line up in all its roasted glory.  

“Yeap,” Soomin says as she turns to face you, “You have three options for the sauce too: mushroom gravy, pepper sauce, or truffle sauce,” Soomin replies matter-of-factly, pointing at the farther end of the food counter. 

“Oh I love this place already!” Exclaims Jimin who’s undecided between eating to his heart’s content and risking a stomachache on the first day of work, or sacrifice half of the dishes for a later time in your stay at Woocheon. Thankfully, Jimin decides on the former. 

“Make sure you have your IDs ready,” Jungkook announces as he joins the line after you. “You’ll have to tap it against this tiny device then they will automatically deduct the total amount of the food you got from your account.”  

Jimin’s face falls instantly at the realization. Jungkook claps the other man’s back, face crumpled as he keeps his laughter in. “Still love this place, Jimin-ssi? Don’t worry now, the three of us can pretend we didn’t hear anything at all.” 

With features forlorn, Soomin makes a hilarious attempt to appease Jimin’s disappointment by stating facts - “Jimin-ah. Hospital food isn’t free.” 

“Yeah. I realize that now,” Jimin replies, an ingenuine smile playing on his lips. 

“Cheer up though! Ms. Narae did mention faculty and staff get a five percent discount on all hospital services...just so happened that they included the cafeteria there as well.” 

Albeit reluctant about the price, Soomin manages to convince your entire group to try out the roast beef for once (and probably your last too. Figures.) “Oh, and by the way, there is one thing that’s free actually. It’s the drink of the day - free for all staff. One each, and available during lunch only.” 

Your eyes travel to the end of the counter straight away at Soomin’s reminder. Calculating the number of cartons left and the people left in the queue, you’re beyond pleased at the fact that you’ll be able to get a free 250ML carton of banana milk today, and also the last person to do so. 

Unfortunately for you, a staff member returns to the counter and retrieves a tetra pack, claiming it was for a senior doctor who forgot to claim the drink. Much to your dismay, a middle-aged man in a white coat was waving to the counter, with his other hand pointing to his tray to prove that he really wasn’t able to take any milk with him. You can’t hide the scowl that creeps on your face. 

Through your peripheral vision, you notice Jungkook closely monitoring the milk as well, the same look of disappointment evident on his face. Maybe losing the milk wasn’t that bad. After all, if you couldn’t one, Jungkook wouldn’t be able to score one either. 

While Jimin checks out his food, one of the kitchen staff suddenly retrieves another carton from the other side of the counter, mumbling about how it must’ve fallen over earlier. You were just about to grab it when the lady at the till calls you next, and you’re forced to move your tray sideward so she can calculate the total amount of your order.  

When you look up to grab your free drink, Jungkook reaches out at the same time and manages to snatch the milk quicker than you. “Hey!” Jungkook simply shrugs his shoulders at your indignant tone. “Sorry darling, finders keepers.” 

You stare at him in disbelief, until the lady calls for Jungkook next, a little too loud for your liking. Your eyeroll comes almost involuntarily, and you shake your head as you follow where Jimin and Soomin were headed to as they look for a seat. 

Jungkook arrives shortly after you do, so you immediately lose the chance to rant about your annoyance towards the latter. He decides to sit across you and you don’t have the chance to complain about it either when he sticks the straw in his milk while he smirks at you. 

What an actual kid. 

You promised yourself you won’t let him get to you, choosing inner peace over fighting with a brat. Besides, two can play at this game, and it’s going to take more than a small carton of milk for him to truly vex you, so you simply smile at him back, returning the favor (of course, while secretly wishing he might choke on his banana milk too).  

“Would you guys mind if I recorded a little bit?” Murmurs of agreement are heard across the table. “Alrightey then,” says Soomin, “This time, none of you boys will be able to escape the camera this time around.” Just as you’d expected, Jimin and Jungkook whine in chorus, vocally expressing their petulance towards Soomin’s ‘vloggering’. 

“Hey! For all you know, you two might even bring more subscribers when I put you two as my thumbnail!” 

“I’m shy…” Jimin argues as he poorly covers his face with his small ID, yet continues to peek through the small gap between the card and the lanyard. 

Soomin rolls her eyes at their childishness and records her food first, praising how surprisingly appetizing the hospital food is. She proceeds to pan the camera towards you as you say hi for the second time today. As Soomin moves onto Jimin, he instantly puts his ID down and waves at the camera sporting a cute smile. “Everyone, this is what ‘camera shy’ looks like nowadays.” 

On the other hand, Jungkook, shameless as ever, pretends to not pay any regard to the camera but he decides to chew on his food with much suave, jaw tightening with every bite of the beef. Soomin calls on Jungkook to say hi, to which he responds by introducing himself and punctuating his statement with a flirty wink. 

For some reason, you feel your stomach drop at the action, causing you to look away momentarily while Soomin instantaneously switches back to her front camera, “Okay, everyone, let’s just pretend these two weren’t flirting with the camera just now.” Soomin shakes her head at the two, deciding that was enough content about lunch at the hospital cafeteria. 

“Shame the camera couldn’t handle it,” Jimin says, pouting as he places a hand over his chest. 

“Maybe it was the lady behind the camera that couldn’t,” adds Jungkook who continues to wink, alternating both his eyes before making a weird face. 

“Okay Jeon. I think that’s enough winking for today.” 

Jungkook wouldn’t stop though and Soomin finally looks at you for help, “Diagnosis: winkitis, ophthalmologist recommends immediate enucleation.”

“Of course! How could I forget? A wink for this young lady over here too.” Jungkook turns to you now but you simply squint your eyes at him as you fake choking on thin air, “I think I might have lost my appetite altogether.�� 

As the three of you head back to the locker rooms to retrieve your stuff before going to the surgery department, another hospital staff stops briefly on their way to greet Soomin. It’s the third time in ten minutes and you’re starting to think Soomin knows not just ‘someone’ from the hospital. Strangely enough, they all seemed like they came from different departments too. This particular person must be of high authority or someone really famous to have people greet her as often as this. 

When you round the corner, at the end of the corridor is a lady in formal attire, sporting the same ID as yours  and it’s Soomin who approaches this person this time. As she pulls the person aside, she urges the three of you to go ahead, telling you she’ll catch up in a moment, leaving you sandwiched between Jimin and Jungkook who tower over you easily. 

“Jimin, do you happen to know who it is exactly she knows here?” 

The blond shakes his head no. “She’s never mentioned anybody in particular...all I know too is that she knows somebody here.” 

“Some relatives perhaps? Maybe she’s a family member of a renowned doctor here?” 

“How about her Youtube channel? Maybe she’s famous then? How many followers does she have?” 

You quickly tap on Youtube on your phone with Jungkook’s prodding, looking up her channel on the app. “It says here she’s got quite the following actually... “ you tilt the screen for them to see, “six thousand followers…” 

“That can’t be it. The second one who greeted her was at least in his mid-fifties...Boomers couldn’t have possibly been following...what does she vlog about again? Um… a day in the life of a med student…” 

From behind you, you faintly hear a ‘goodbye’ and you clear your throat, alerting the two of Soomin’s return. “What were you guys going on about here?” 

Jungkook chuckles, smoothly making up an alibi as he takes your phone in his hands, “Hope you don’t mind us checking out your channel…” Surely enough, your screen was showing a video of Soomin studying for her finals. 

“As long as you subscribe, it’s fine with me.” She gives you all a thumbs up. “It’s been a while since I posted anything though...Maybe if we get to the on-call room early, maybe I could film a few shots too! Come on!”  Soomin hooks your arm in hers and drags you to the locker rooms, leaving the two boys standing there in the middle of the hallway.

You figure the four of you were the first interns to arrive, as most of the doctors lounging around were either in their scrubs or heading out for lunch. “Soomin,” Jungkook seemingly deep in thought, taps the girl’s shoulder. 

“Hmm?” 

“Remember when you bumped into me on the day of our graduation...you were with someone right? Um...Jung...Ho...I can’t quite remember his name…” 

“Oh you mean Jung Hoseok? He’s my cousin.” 

As Jungkook opens his mouth to reply, someone calls Soomin from the other side of the room. “Soomin! You’re here!” You spot the surgeons you’ve met during the hospital tour earlier this morning - Dr. Min Yoongi, Dr. Kim Seokjin, and Dr. Kim Namjoon. You all bow promptly as soon as they stand up. 

“I didn’t really have that much of a choice,” Soomin grumbles as she gets squished with each of the doctors’ hugs. “Come on! You’re saying that as if Woocheon isn’t any good at all!” 

The three of you stand awkwardly in the corner while Soomin and the other doctors mingle with each other. You nudge Jungkook’s elbow, “Hey what’s with Soomin’s cous--?” 

“Oh right! These are my friends - ________, Park Jimin, and Jeon Jungkook.  We’re all under your care now.” The three doctors call you over, extending their arms out for a handshake, “Ready to lose your social life?” Dr. Min asks, his bright tone contrasting his drift. 

“It’s an honor to meet you Dr. Min, Dr. Kim, and Dr. Kim.” You bow curtly. “Oh doctor? It's too much! Call us sunbae instead. Oppa is cool too when we’re not working.” Dr. Seokjin’s handshake lingers a little longer than usual and you feel your cheeks start to heat up. “Besides, I don’t know what I’m doing most of the time.” 

Yoongi visibly grimaces at Seokjin’s words, while Namjoon covers his face with his hands, mumbling, “Hyung.... For the love of god, please make sure the patients never ever hear that…” 

Namjoon’s reaction elicits laughter from the whole group, but someone’s laugh stands out above all and it’s coming from the other side of the door. Soomin seems to recognize the voice instantly. “He’s here!” 

“Soooommmiiiiiinnn!!!” A loud voice echoes throughout the room. He hugs Soomin briefly, and addresses the rest of you. “Wassup bros?” The newcomer gives each of the surgeons a dap in greeting then turns to greet you three. 

“The whole gang's here!” He says, rubbing his chin, “Let me guess...Jeon Jungkook, _________, and Park Jimin, right?” 

Eyes wide in surprise, you nod slowly. “Soomin here has told me all about you!” Soomin is behind the man, drawing a hand across her throat. “My name’s Jung Hoseok, by the way. Nice to finally meet you all.” 

“He’s the next chairman of the Woocheon Medical City,” Seokjin whispers as he winks in your direction. Hoseok elbows him in the ribs. “No I’m not.” 

“Ah yes. Correction. Not yet.” Seokjin mumbles, massaging his sides. You, Jimin, and Jungkook look at each other with knowing gazes. So that’s the ‘someone’ Soomin knows. 

Woocheon ought to be...interesting.

HameFura Manga V6 Bonus SS (translated)

It says “Magical Girl Flag Breakers” and “Our Enemies: The Ruin Four”

Volume 6 Bonus SS - “Magical★Girl Flag Breakers”

Hello! So I snagged a raw copy of Manga Volume 6 on the internet because I was really excited for the bonus story ever since I got raws of Volume 5. For those who don’t know, typically a copy of the manga comes with an extra chapter with Katarina having a dream about different scenarios (V1 was Fortune Lover, V2 is a Highschool AU, V3 is a Fantasy RPG AU, V4 is a Genderbend AU and V5 is a Kindergarten AU), and alongside the chapter of the volume is a image preview of the next story in the next volume.

I couldn't wait to read this one-shot so with the power of google translate, I’ve decided to translate it myself! Please read this one, it’s a very fun one-shot, so much so that I want more of this story XDD (also because it took me half a day to translate this from pictures qwq)

Please do remember to read this one-shot once an official English Release of Manga Volume 6 comes out, and please forgive me for any mistake I made while translating this story to English.

--------

It was a sunny morning that day. I, Katarina Claes, an ordinary high school student, overslept that day and was late for school. While I was dashing to school with a fresh cucumber in my mouth from our fridge instead of my breakfast, was suddenly struck with something hard on the head. I was surprised! I rubbed my head and looked around, but I saw nothing.

I was about to start running again because I assumed that I just imagined, until I heard a voice. "Ouch, I'm sorry I bumped into you", the voice said as I looked up to follow it. "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH~~~~" I screamed instinctively as I looked at what looks like a small little doll.

There was a small boy with wings. The boy covered his ears and frowned at my loud outcry. "Oh, I'm sorry" I apologized, also instinctively, but this is turning out to be a really weird situation. What even is this small little boy? It's a really well-made toy or something like that. "I'm not a toy", eh did I say that out loud?

I was surprised to hear a reply, so I asked "Are you a dwarf then?"

"No, I'm a spirit" he said with a matter-of-fact tone. 'Oh, so he's a spirit~' is what I would have said........ 

"Wait, what do you mean a spirit?" I wasn't convinced at all. What do you mean it's a spirit? The little spirit boy begins to explain to me, who was still surprised and flustered, while pointing with his tiny finger.

Well, it turned out to be quite the serious discussion. While a story about an evil organization, the most worrisome part to me was, "So, if the 'planet' dies, what will happen?" I could predict what his answer would be, but it still scared me to hear what the answer was. "If the planet dies, all living creatures here will die" The little spirit replied with an expected answer. When he said that all living creatures will die, does that mean everyone?!

"We will fight and defeat the evil organization with the power we receive from the planet," the spirit declared so bravely. He may look cute like a doll, but he was very cool. I instinctively made a guts pose, "In behalf of everyone, I thank you. Good luck on your fight". "Thank you, but the one who will be fighting is not me--. The spirit boy was interrupted by a loud explosion nearby, where I heard a loud scream saying "Ah! It's a monster!".

When I ran over there to check it out, for some reason, there was something big rampaging in a park just further away. Wait, what? There was a giant bear that appeared out of nowhere?! Around these parts, there could be monkeys showing up, but not bears.

Next to me, the spirit boy was visibly upset. "Oh no, They've already started to appear. I haven't even formed a contract with anyone yet" the spirit boy whispered. What does he mean by a contract? No, its not the time for such questions when something serious is happening in front of us.

"Um, Spirit boy, lets run away, the situation over there looks dangerous". I called out to him, but the spirit boy didn't answer with his eyes growing bigger. "And you, can you help me with my work?" He said as if there wasn't anything happening in front of us. What does he mean help with his work? What is he saying in such a dangerous time like this.

"The Evil Organization".

"?!"

"What happening right now, it's involving the things I've told you about. I need your help, please". "Wait, even if you say it so suddenly like this...." I'm already really late for school, and at this point getting in would be really difficult. I'm in deep trouble. "Please, I can only ask you." I was being stared with such a desperate face and moist eyes, making it really hard to refuse. Aside from that, the noise in the park is getting louder, and I feel like it's really dangerous to stay here.

For now, its best to run away for the time being and listen to him when we get to somewhere safer. I thought and said, "I understand. I'll help you, so lets run away from here first." My words did not even finish until the end. Before I finished, the spirit boy grinned and said, "Okay, then lets form the contract."

The moment I saw his grinning smile, I knew something was weird, but before I could say anything, the spirit boy pulled something that looked like a stick with a flag and asked, "What is your name?" "Katarina Claes". For some reason, my mouth started to move on my own and said my name. Eh, what's going on?

"Then, Katarina Claes, I will appoint you as a magical girl who will help protect this planet". When I shook the flag that the spirit boy had, my body was wrapped in light, and my school uniform changed into a cute and frilly costume. 

"What's this?!" "It's a magical girl costume. Now you have the power to do more than what a hundred normal persons can do".

"Wearing this frilly outfit can make me do that?!" "Yes, that costume has that kind of power. With this, you can defeat the enemy as a magical girl". "Wait, what's a magical girl? and by enemy you mean--" "Ah, it's already here"

As soon as the spirit boy interrupted my words with his own, a giant pink bear doll came out from the entrance of the park.

"What's that?" "That's our enemy. Now, let's defeat it with the power of a magical girl." "Even if you tell me to defeat it--?!"

What should I do? The bear started to launch itself towards us while I was trying to figure out what to do. While it is a stuffed toy bear, it was very big so it's power was quite impressive.

It’ll be bad if I get hit, so I jumped really high unexpectedly in order to avoid it. Wow, the bear looked really surprised by my movements, which are a hundred times faster and stronger than a normal person, and it made the bear look like fool as he gave his all into that attack. What a terrifying bear. That bear tried to attack with a punch again. The bear is very quick for its size. Thanks to this outfit, I can easily avoid his punches, but this can’t keep going on like this.

“Hey spirit, how I can I defeat this bear?”. While trying to avoid the bear’s attacks, I asked the spirit who was watching me jump above. “Oh, that’s right. Point the bracelet at the bear and say ‘Flag Break’. If you do that, you can defeat it”. He seems to have forgotten to tell me this earlier.

I wondered if that was enough, but I did as I was told, pointing my bracelet at the bear and shouted “Flag Break”, and a ray of light appeared from the bracelet. When the light hits and wraps the bear in its entirety, it disappeared after the light.

I coughed while staring at the spot where the bear disappeared, and the spirit who was now next to me said, “Thank you, Katarina. Thank you for your continued support. My name is Raphael”, he said as I held his outreached hand. 

This how I, Katarina Claes, became a magical girl who fights against evil organizations.

And, through this event, I learned that I should not accept unclear requests so easily. I became a magical girl by being convinced in a shocked state by Raphael, and in the months since I became a magical girl, my number of friends seemed to have increased. After several months, I realized that there are more magical girls in my school, such as Maria who was part of the student council and the school’s cooking club, Mary from the gardening club, and Sophia from the literature club. Strangely, all of them are smart and beautiful students. Not only that, they were all scouted by a female spirit named Anne as magical girls. I was only scouted in the heat of the moment, but everyone else are so good at their job, and eventually we all began to get along as friends. Until then, I usually go to school late because I always get lost, but now we all go to school together every day.

“Yes, I tried to turn the flowers in the gardening club as a bookmark, Katarina. If you’d like, please use it”. “Wow. it’s so cute, thank you. Mary has good taste” “Katarina, I’ve brought a book I want to recommend” “You did? I’m looking forward to it. Thank you, Sophia” “Katarina, I brought some sweets I made in the cooking club, please eat some if you’d like” “Oh! Thank you Maria. I love your sweets so much because they are just so delicious”

Just like that, we continue to have fun chatting to each other, when suddenly there was a figure ahead of us. “Hello, Katarina and co.”

A beautiful young man with blonde hair and blue eyes appeared before me. “Wow, you’re here again Geordo” I frowned, but Geordo returned it with a smile. “Today, I will defeat you and make you mine”, that’s when he suddenly changed into a black cloak with a mask; the uniform of the evil organization.

Yes, this handsome young man is named Geordo, he might look like a prince, but he is actually one of the Four Kings of Ruin, part of the enemy organization that we, magical girls, need to defeat. I met Geordo after I had become a magical girl, during my third battle. It was Geordo who summoned enemies like the giant stuffed toy bear and released it onto the city. Since then, I had fought him multiple times as enemies, where he continuously says things like “You’ve piqued my interest. Would you become mine?” whenever he approaches me. Is this a new form of attack? When I reply to him with an attack, he would reply with “One day, I will beat you and make you mine”. 

I don’t know if this is a new kind of attack, but Geordo would typically show up every three days, and now that its the third day, it probably means I need to transform into a magical girl again.

“I hate you” “Yeah, please stop disturbing our good time” “Please pack it up”

Mary, Sophia and Maria all said, as they transformed into magical girls too. “You girls are interrupting the moment between me and Katarina. You girls are in my way” Geordo said, as he raised his hand to the sky. Then, a black circle appeared, with people falling out from it.

“Ouch! Geordo, do you know how many time you’ve been calling out to us recently? I was gonna take a nap”, that was Geordo’s twin brother who scratched his head, the snobby Alan who is also part of the Four Kings. “That’s right, I was on a date with a girl” said Keith, the playboy from the Four Kings of Ruin, who frowned and brushed his bangs. The last one was expressionless, but was looking at the pasta who had fallen onto the ground with a sad face. He is Nicol, the final member of the four who has a magical and mysterious charm to him.

“Everyone, don’t be so lazy. Let’s work together and defeat the magical girls once and for all” Geordo said to them, and they all turned to me in a daze. There’s something he didn’t know about his allies when he called them out.

“Yo, it’s been a long time, Katarina. You’re still playing magical girl?” Alan said. Perhaps he was embarrassed that he had just declared that he would take a nap, because his face was flushed red. I met him during one of my battles.

“Katarina Claes, you’re always so free. It’s so lonely to think that you don’t have anyone to date yet,” Keith said. Perhaps he was shy or was embarrassed by the girl he was just on a date with, because his face was also quite red. I also met him during one of my battles so I’m acquainted with him.

Maybe he was called from a place where he was eating his pasta, and now it had fallen to the ground and splattered, because Nicol had a very sad expression. ”................” “Would you like some of these sweets so compensate for your food?” I offered to him. He gave me such a happy and devilish smile, saying “thank you” as he reached out for one of the sweets. I staggered a bit at the sight. I also met Nicol during one of my battles.

“What are you guys talking about so happily with my Katarina? I called you guys here to deal with the other three magical girls who are trying to get in between us” Geordo said. “What are you taking about? You’re the ones who are in the way of our good time,” Mary lifted her eyebrows and snapped at Geordo, who simply replied to her accusation with a dark smile. “That’s my line. You high school girls who just talk about crap without any meaning”.

“That’s rude, it’s not meaningless” Sophia said angrily. Well this is the kind of thing that Geordo definitely won’t understand. He doesn’t seem to have a prejudice against high school girls... wait a minute, shouldn’t we be fighting? Geordo, Mary and Sophia are quarrelling, Alan and Keith are summoned but have flushed cheeks and are looking away, Maria is sharing handmade sweets to Nicol who lost his pasta.

Recently, every time we confront the Four Kings of Ruin, we more frequently fight like this, without throwing any hands. I even started to wonder if I was still a magical girl, so I tried to look around for our two spirits, before I was interrupted by Maria who offered sweets to me. It was so good that I lost all my will for battle.

“Lady Katarina, Lady Katarina, please get up. It’s time for you to go to school”

What happened to the battle? “Battle? Katarina, you’re sleeping. We need to get you ready for school”, Anne said, bringing out my clothes. “Oh I had  a very strange dream. I was transformed into a magical girl. Not only that, the enemies were Geordo and the others. What a strange dream”.

“What’s a magical girl?” Anne gave me a suspicious look while the adjusting my clock. “Ah, um, a magical girl fights against an evil organization--”

“Katarina, I’m grateful for your explanations but we don’t time for that right now, so I’ll ask about it later after we finish your preparations”. Ann told me, and when I looked at the clock, I knew that it was almost time for class and that I was about to be late. I hurriedly cooperated with Anne and started preparing myself for school. My usual day begins as from that point.

--------

That’s it! It’s a very cute one-shot, and I hope after I post this, maybe it inspires people to write stories based on this au qwq. Volume 7′s oneshot is “Detective?! Katarina’s Office” (Tantei?! Katarina Jimusho) so if thats interesting then i’ll translate that too.

Some unnecessary notes from me if you’re interested in reading:

Since Katarina is the hero and Miri is the leader of the evil organization, I guess if this really was a story then the plot twist is that Katarina is her daughter. I can imagine maybe this story takes place in her old world with her old family (mom, dad, grandma, two brothers) but the difference here is that Katarina is adopted or something like that.

It’s interesting that Raphael is Katarina’s fairy partner instead of Ann. It works since both Kat and Raph use Dark Magic in canon lol haha also because it shows how competent Ann is haha

It’s also cool to see the playboy version of Keith liking Katarina.

Sophia and Nicol don’t seem to be related at all in this version of the story, which I’m cool with. They could also have a Hawkmoth-Chat Noir situation where they aren’t aware of each other’s secret identities (though I doubt it myself since they all transformed in front of the boys, but hey i’m just throwing it out there).

Omg rip Nicol’s pasta. Press f to pay respects

All the Things (Your Man Won’t Do) 18+

Pairing: Sam Wilson x Black Reader

Summary: Everyone around you sees how crappy your boyfriend treats you. How long does it take for your old friend Sam Wilson to convince you that you’d be better with him?

Warnings: Crappy boyfriend, unfulfilling relationships, not cheating but persuasion, nothing too sexual

A/N: So I listened to All the Things (Your Man Won’t Do) by Joe and I got Sam Wilson vibes BIG TIME and I had to write this lol This is the version that I listened to, the above link is to the music video where I got some of my inspo from lol There’s no real difference other than the length of the song lol

Word Count: 2,500 ish

v2- I typed all of the texts out in this version so people can see them if they don't load on the other version. Sam is italicized and reader is bolded. I tried to separate them. Let me know if the format is messed up 💖

You stood at the counter, ringing up your last customer for the night. It had been a long but exciting shift. You’d gotten a chance to see an old friend of yours, Sam Wilson. You’d seen him on TV fighting alongside, and against, the Avengers. No one believed that you knew the Sam Wilson, especially your boyfriend. It was great seeing him again. You two talked for a while when there weren’t many people in the store, and you exchanged numbers, excited to catch up with him soon.

As you locked up the store, you thought about the good times that you spent with Sam in college. You knew how he had been planning on joining the military and you were glad to see that he was doing well for himself. 

You sighed in annoyance when you heard a clap of thunder over your head as you looked around. Your boyfriend was late once again to pick you up. You absolutely hated waiting around for him, and you hated it even more that he used your car while you were at work.

Deciding not to wait for him, you pulled out your phone and ordered yourself a Lyft when you received an incoming text.

Hey Y/n. It’s Sam.

It was good seeing you today.

Hey Sam!

Yeah, I really enjoyed seeing you as well 😊

You checked your Lyft’s location, noting that it was just around the corner. You shifted your weight onto your other foot as you waited when you saw the headlights from the car come around the corner. You adjusted your bag once again as the driver pulled in front of you.

“Y/n?” the driver asked when you opened the door.

You nodded your head, “Yeah, that’s me.” You slid into the back seat and closed the door. You were settling in when your phone buzzed again in your hand. Once you were completely settled, you unlocked your phone and opened your text stream with Sam.

I don't want to sound too forward, but I was wondering if you would like to grab a drink with me sometime? You know, catch up some more.

But, I understand if you don't want to.

I would love to catch up sometime!

Great! How does tomorrow sound?

Tomorrow sounds great! Though, I think I should mention that I do have a boyfriend. So this would be just as friends.

You chewed your lip as you waited for his response. You hoped that he still wanted to meet up. You spent the rest of the car ride trying to distract yourself from waiting for Sam’s reply, and when you made it home without hearing from him again, you were a bit upset with yourself. Maybe you shouldn’t have brought up your boyfriend. Maybe he did just want to catch up as friends and you just ruined that possibility.

You let yourself out of the Lyft after handing the driver a tip and glanced up to your apartment. The living room light was still on, which meant that your boyfriend was home, he had clearly forgotten to come pick you up. Again. You rolled your eyes and trudged up the stairs and contemplated whether or not you wanted to argue about it or not. 

That decision was made for you when you walked through your door to find him laid back on the couch with dirty dishes everywhere.

“Damn, Ty!” you groaned then slammed the door. “You said that you were going to clean up!” you kicked off your shoes and began picking up the mess that he made.

“My bad, Y/n,” he mumbled without taking his eyes off the TV screen. “You know it was my day off.”

You rolled your eyes, “Yeah and I had to work all day! You didn’t even cook? Come on, Ty. You said that you would help out more.”

He waved his hand as if dismissing you and you made your way to the bedroom to get ready for bed. You wrapped your head up in a pineapple before hopping into the shower. Once you were done, you put on lotion and brushed your teeth. Ty had made his way to bed while you were in the shower and he looked to be sleeping already. You pulled back the covers on your side of the bed and flipped on your reading light and opened your book. You were halfway down the page when your phone buzzed.

You smiled when you saw Sam’s name on your screen.

I'm not surprised that someone cuffed you lol

Just friends it is then

Do you work tomorrow?

I'm happy to hear that. Yeah, I work tomorrow but I don't close.

I get off at 3. Where do you want to meet?

Have you heard of Pietro's Bakery?

YEAH! I love their cinnamon rolls!

I know the owner. Let’s meet there at 4?

Wait! How do you know the owner?

😅Friends from work

I'll introduce you.

Awesome! I can't wait to see you again, Sam.

Me too. Sleep tight, Y/n

Good night, Sam 😊

And for the first time in months, you fell asleep with a smile on your face.

 Work was going by slowly for you and you kind of anticipated that it would. Whenever you were excited about something, time seemed to slow down.

You’d cleaned almost every aisle of the bookstore and made sure that all the books were facing the right way in the aisles that you cleaned. You’d fluffed pillows refilled coffee mugs of those that needed them and eagerly helped patrons that asked for help. You were intent on keeping yourself busy.

You’d looked at the clock for the millionth time and loudly groaned when you saw that it was only 1:30. You still had an hour and a half left of work.

You looked up eagerly when the chime above the door went off and crinkled your eyebrows when you saw Ty walk through the door. You watched as he scanned the room and make his way over to you when he spotted you.

“I need your car,” he said once he reached you and you rolled your eyes.

“Hey Y/n,” you said in a mock voice. “Can I borrow your car?”

“Hey, Y/n, can I borrow your car?” Ty repeated with a dry voice.

“Why?” your hand was on your hip as you waited for his response.

“Because I have to work late tonight and I’d rather not take a Lyft.” Ty held his hand out for your key and you looked him up and down.

“So how am I supposed to get home?” you said, your foot tapping with annoyance.

He shrugged, “Take a Lyft. Look Y/n, give me the damn keys, I’m about to be late for work.” 

You crossed your arms and pursed your lips, “That sounds like a personal problem.”

“Look, Y/n, I really don’t have time for this,” you could tell that he was becoming agitated. You fished your keys from your pocket and handed them to him, and he snatched them from you and turned to walk away.

“You’re welcome,” you mumbled. “Make sure you put some gas in it too!” you yelled at his retreating form.

“When you gon let him go, Y/n?” your coworker, Tanya, asked you as you walked back up to the front of the store. “The way he treats you isn’t right, and I know you know that.”

“Yeah, I know. I just… I don’t know,” you admitted. “I know he loved me once, but now I don’t know. Now I think he just sees me as… less. Ya know. Like, he barely touches me anymore, not even a hug. It’s like our relationship has run its course but neither one of us wants to be the first to say goodbye.”

“Wow,” Tanya dragged out. “Quoting Gladys Knight?” she chuckled. “Look, you deserve someone that’s gonna love you no matter what. Someone that worships you and brings out the best in you and Ty does not do that. He never did, and you know it. I say, be the first one to say goodbye, because you deserve way better than he can give you.”

You chewed your lip as you thought about what she said. Your three-year relationship with Ty was stagnant, and you couldn’t think of a time when it wasn’t. There was no fire, there never had been, and honestly, your fights weren’t even fights. He typically just sat there as you complained about his mess or that he forgot to come pick you up, something that happened way too often for your liking.

You groaned at your situation wondering how you managed to dig yourself into this hole.

You finished helping one last customer before you clocked out for the day. Now that you didn’t have your car, it would take you longer to get there. You decided to walk instead of catching a Lyft. You needed some time to clear your head before meeting up with Sam.

You window-shopped as you made your way to the bakery. You took in all the sales and wished that you could stop and partake in some retail therapy, but you continued on.

You made it to the bakery sooner than you had hoped, but you didn’t have anywhere else to go so you went in.

You walked to the counter and ordered yourself a cinnamon roll and found a seat in the corner. As you waited, you people watched the patrons in the bakery. Some were old, some were young, but many of them were around your age it seemed. Most of them came in with their families, and it made your heart hurt a little. When you were younger, you thought that you would be married with a couple of kids by now. You had plans after college, but for some reason, they didn’t pan out for you. 

You picked at your cinnamon roll for a few minutes before a shadow cast over you.

“You’re early!” Sam’s booming voice startled you.

“Hey, Sam!” you slid out of your seat and threw your arms around his neck. You melted into his embrace; it felt like you belonged here. Quickly shaking yourself from your thoughts, you pulled away from him and sat back down.

“I’m glad you came, Y/n,” Sam’s smile took up his entire face. That was one thing that you loved about him, his smile was infectious. You couldn’t help but to smile when he did, and his smiles were always genuine, never forced.

You two talked for hours, you didn’t even notice that the sun had gone down.

“Hey, Sam,” a woman with fire-red hair appeared next to your table.

“Wanda, hey, this is Y/n. Y/n, this is Wanda, she owns the place.” Sam introduced the two of you and you smiled as you shook her hand.

“Nice to meet you, Y/n,” she smiled brightly at you. “I’ve heard a lot about you over the last few years, Y/n, it’s great to finally meet you.”

You looked to her in confusion before she continued, “He said that you’re the um, what did you say, Sam?”

“It’s not important, Wanda,” Sam said, clearly trying to get her to move on.

“That’s right, you’re ‘the one that got away’,” she winked at you with a smirk on her face before turning to Sam once again. “I’m going to head home, will you lock up for me?”

Sam nodded once again, “Good night, Wanda!”

You watched as Wanda walked away laughing to herself at Sam’s obvious discomfort. “Well, she’s sweet,” you commented once you heard the back door lock.

“Yeah, and a pain in my ass,” Sam grumbled. “Look-”

You cut him off, “So I’m the one that got away?” you chuckled.

He shrugged, “I had plans to come and get you once I got out but I was kinda messed up after Riley, then Captain America needed me, then the whole Thanos thing. I just wanted to be at my best when I finally did get to see you.”

“Sam, I have-”

“You have a boyfriend, yeah I know.” he scrubbed his face with his hands. “Can you tell me that you’re happy with him, Y/n?”

You remained silent, giving him your answer.

“We have history, Y/n,” Sam continued. “You know you’re mine, and you know I’ll do all the things he won’t do. I’ll do them for you.”

“You know I remember that night? And I know you remember it too.”

Your eyes fluttered closed as the images of that night flashed through your mind.

The two of you panted as Sam thrusted into you, his hips moving at a slow pace and your nails dragging down his back. He fit so well inside of you, like he was made for you. You’d lost count of how many times he’d made you cum already, but you could feel another orgasm stirring. He whispered in your ear, telling you how good you felt wrapped around him.

You’d imagined this many times before, but nothing, nothing, had prepared you for how he would actually make you feel. 

Sam’s hips began to move faster and his hands moved down to your hips to hold you into place as he fucked into you. Your breathy moans filled the air as he grunted in your ear. You’d never heard anything sweeter than the sound of his voice as the two of you made love.

In that moment, you imagined your life being filled with this. Coming home to Sam, loving him, and having him love you. That was something that you could get used to.

You snapped out of your thoughts when Sam squeezed your hand, a smirk on his lips because he knew what you had been thinking about.

“Y/n, he treats you like your nothing,” Sam said instead. “You’ve told me about all of the times that he’s taken your car and had you find your own way home. I wanna do all the things your man won’t do.”

You chewed your lip, “I hear what you’re saying, but-”

“What good is a diamond nobody can see?” Sam asked. Your hand rested in his as his thumb ran over your knuckles. 

You shrugged, “We’ve been together for three years. It just doesn’t feel right leaving him, ya know?”

“You’d rather spend the rest of your life unhappy?” Sam lowered his voice and leaned closer to you over the table. “Y/n, you know I can make you happy. You deserve it.”

“Sam I-,”

“You say you need someone to be there for you,” he interrupted you again. “To love you all night long

I don't think you have to look no further because I'm right here. And I'm ready to do all the things your man won't do.”

You locked eyes with him once more, and you saw nothing but sincerity there. Sam was your safe place. He was your home, and he was right. You didn’t have to look further. He was the one for you.

How do I give up smoking using a vape?

Once you’ve been using the e-cigarette for a while, and you think you have got comfortable enough to use it properly, you should consider dropping down a nicotine level. It’s a scary thought, and I’m not saying you won’t notice the difference because you probably will, but it’s a small price to pay. Just imagine changing brand of cigarettes, or going for a lightly “lighter”tobacco, and you’ll have the right idea. Just like the changes to your smoking habits you made in the past, you and your body will soon get used to it. It’s just a matter of time.

Vapestoreuae is the largest online vape shop for all brand vape in Dubai.

I only stuck with the high level stuff for a month or so before I decided to change down to the next lightest nicotine strength, and I would suggest doing it when you feel comfortable. 

If you are trying to get used to a lower nicotine level while using an electronic cigarette you can’t quite get the hang of, you’re going to find yourself getting agitated. If it takes you a couple of months to settle down and get the hang of things, so be it. Wouldn’t you rather take your time, doing things properly than rushing in, trying to get to the end point too soon, and failing because you didn’t show a bit of patience?

Anyway, the point I am trying to make is when you feel you can do it, make an order for new cartridges or liquids, but instead of going for the high strength stuff, choose to order a lower strength instead, such as medium.

Taking different e-liquid strengths into consideration…

Obviously, some e-cigarette companies will have strengths available over others, so if you want to do it in more, slightly smaller stages, feel free to go for one like V2 Cigs that offers a wide range of strengths. White Cloud is another great e-cig company to opt for also, and they have the highest strength liquids and cartridges we’ve come across so far.

When you order the medium liquid, use it for a couple of months again. The first time I quit smoking with e-cigarettes, this second phase; the medium phase, lasted me just a month before I decided to go onto the lower strength of cartridge. To be honest, I think this was too fast, for me at least. I’d give it a couple of months on the medium stuff before you head down to the low strengths. At least 8/9 weeks anyway.

When to hit the low e-liquid.

You’ll know when the time comes to finally start hitting the low strength stuff anyway. That’s how it went for me…I started leaving my e-cigarette at home. I wasn’t as reliant on it as I had been at the start, and although I still craved nicotine, I didn’t freak out quite so much when I realized I was going to need to wait almost an hour before I was home to smoke it.

 There were a few times I left it in the office overnight too, and had to resort to using an old backup kit I had bought many years ago. Once you start forgetting it, you’re not reliant on it – your brain isn’t constantly thinking about it. You should embrace it because it’s not a bad thing!

When you go onto the low strength stuff, you should deliberately start leaving your electronic cigarette at home. When you head to work, pack it in your bag and whack your bag in the trunk so you can’t get to it. Do the whole journey without it and see how you feel. Try not to smoke it on the way to school with the kids in the morning. Leave it at home rather than tucking the e-cig in your pocket when you leave to go to the grocery store. The trick is to get used to being a non-smoker and sometimes that literally just means being a non-smoker, even if it is only for a couple of hours at a time.

Low strength is just one more step away from being a non-smoker. Very soon, you will be on your way to being nicotine-free. Imagine the money you could be saving, and the health benefits you could be reaping. Studies have shown that quitting smoking could boost your quality of life in many hundreds and even thousands of different ways. Isn’t it time that you started enjoying life as a non-smoker again? Imagine the money you’d save on air fresheners for your smoke-ridden home!

After another couple of months on the low strength nicotine cartridges or liquid, and a few attempts at deliberately leaving it at home or in the car when you go out and about, you should start thinking about going to zero…no nicotine.

Zero Nicotine (It’s not as scary as you’d think!)

It’s a scary thought but if you decided to quit smoking, you must have known this day would come… The day that you would finally be free of the nicotine-chains you have been held by for the last few years, even decades in some cases. Buy a couple of bottles of zero strength liquids to refill your cartridges with, and have them to hand. 

Don’t make a date for it if you don’t want to. That can be too much of an intimidating thought for some. One day you’ll more than likely wake up and say “today is the day”and make the switch anyway. Again, that was the approach I took and it worked well for me.

 The liquid turned up and I put it in my drawer of e-cigarette paraphernalia, planning to forget about it for a while. Three days later, I put the low strength stuff in the drawer and took the zero strength stuff out. Apparently, that was the day.

I did about two weeks on the e-cigarette on the zero strength cartridges before I put it in the drawer and didn’t take it out again…For two years. I had a particularly bad day at work and the e-cigarette wasn’t going to be enough to curb my cravings. 

I bought a pack of ten cigarettes and smoked again for three weeks before I went back on the e-cigarettes and started the process all over again. The second time, I gave up smoking for about seven months. It just goes to show it works. Perhaps I just don’t have enough will power yet? Still, even with smoking the e-cigarettes you’ll be saving money on regular cigarettes, so you can’t really complain!

The trick to getting it right is…

The trick to quitting smoking with e-cigarettes is to do things slowly. I found the faster I tried to quit, the worse my attempt was. The third time I quit with e-cigarettes, I only spent three or four weeks on the various strengths before sliding down to the next one. Within five months I had gone from smoking to zero strength, and within three more months, I was back to smoking.

The longer I took in the various stages, the better the length of time I gave up for. My best attempt was when I took about eight months to quit from start to finish. Maybe that’s the sort of time frame you should be looking at yourself?

Warnings | Language, slight smut (dry humping), mentions of weed and alcohol

A/N | Here’s the next part of The V2 Series, a flashback that details the first time Y/N and Taehyung ever hooked up after breaking up in high school. Thanks @sleevelessparkjimin for being my plot coordinator & helping me soooo much with this, you’re the best :* Enjoy! <3

— Set 1 year into your relationship with Hongbin —

You stare at the blinking cursor on your screen, fingers hovering over the keyboard of your laptop, stomach twisted in nervousness. The feeling either stems from the venti caramel macchiato that you just chugged on an empty stomach—which has been known to leave you anxious and trembling on more than one occasion—or, more accurately, it may have something to do with the decision you are currently contemplating.

Your eyes graze over the home screen of your Facebook, where you stopped scrolling in awe at a status update from a former . . . friend.

Kim Taehyung is feeling accomplished—with Kim Eon Jin and 2 others.  

Underneath is a picture of Taehyung in a graduation cap, his parents flanking him on either side mirroring his signature smile with ones of their own. Taehyung had a reason to feel proud—in high school he’d sworn he wasn’t going to go to college; he’d said it wasn’t for him, it was for people who had done better than him and who actually had a chance at surviving two more years of education.

Like you, he’d said. You’re smart. You should definitely go back to school, baby.  

The nickname echoes in your head. You can still hear the soft tone of it, the way sometimes he’d caress your cheek when he said it, the way he’d whine the word when he wanted you to get off the couch and get him something to drink because he didn’t want to miss a minute of the game, the way he’d make it come out of your own mouth in a more wanton way when you two were—

This, you think, is why after you break up with someone, you should delete them from all social media. And if you were at all smart like Taehyung thought you were, you would have done it a long time ago. Because then you wouldn’t be thinking of sending a congratulatory message to a person you hadn’t spoken to in over two years.

It could be simple, right? Just a “congrats,” nothing else. That wouldn’t hurt anything, would it?

Your fingers jump over the keyboard, itching to write the message and get it over with, so you place your hands under your legs. You glance around at the Starbucks cafe, trying to catch any suspicious eyes averting to yours, wondering why you are concentrating so hard on the tiny screen of your computer.

When your gaze is unmet, you look back at the screen, at that god damn blinking cursor that is mocking you in the comment section of Taehyung’s status. Why were you so scared? Two years was a lot of time to mature—and if you did it in a mature, nonchalant way, Taehyung would also take it as a mature compliment . . . right?

But then, who all would be able to see it? Everything that you commented on or liked on Facebook and any other social media always ended up on your friends timelines. A public comment wasn’t a good idea. A DM, instead? Or was that too personal? Too closed off? Too secret?

You groan outwardly, leaning back in your seat. A woman to your right reading a novel at a small table glances over at you, but doesn’t say anything.

“This is stupid,” you murmur to yourself quietly. “Just do it!”

You quickly pull up your chat and type Taehyung’s name into a new box and start your message:

Hey, congrats on graduating

Too brief. Do it again.

Hey, an Associates! That’s awesome! Always knew you would get there one day. Remember in high school when

Too long-winded. And too fucking happy. Again.

Hey, uh, just wanted to say congrats on the achievement

“UH”? Were you a bumbling moron?

Hey, long time no talk

You pause, biting your lip. That was casual, right?

Hey, long time no talk. Just wanted to congratulate you on getting your degree, and I hope you’ve been doing well :)

You let out a long breath of air from your nose, reading the two lines over and over again until you finally hit ‘Send,’ and close out of the app as quickly as you can. You close the lid of your laptop too, realizing for the first time that your heart is beating rapidly in your chest, pulse singing in your veins. It feels good, but you’re worried it won’t last long. What if he didn’t even answer back?

You don’t give yourself much time to dwell. You pack up your things, throwing away your empty venti cup in the trash can beside the door as you exit the cafe. You decide to give it twenty-four hours before you check to see if he read it, just to save yourself from disappointment and from looking over-eager to reply to him—if he decided to reply .

But Taehyung doesn’t care about either of those things, obviously, because as soon as you are settled into the front seat of your car, your phone buzzes with a message:

Y/N! Thanks so much. I never thought I’d get there, honestly. & it HAS been such a long time . . . how are you?

— 1 month later —

“Can you pause it?” you ask Yeonwoo. “I have to pee.”

She rolls her eyes. “This is like the third time!” she groans, but pulls the remote from underneath her blanket and hits pause. “We’re never going to finish the HP series at this point.”

You two were having a movie marathon during a dreary Saturday—as the movie paused, you could hear rain splatter heavily against the windows in the living room—and Yeonwoo had insisted you start the Harry Potter series from her favorite, The Goblet of Fire. You were actually a fan of The Prisoner of Azkaban, but when you suggested watching it first, Yeonwoo had acted like she hadn’t heard you.

“It’s the margaritas!” you yell, already halfway down the hallway to your bedroom. “Stop judging me!”

As you round the corner into your bedroom, you whip out your phone from your hoodie pocket, tapping twice on the screen to make it light up.

The first message you have is from Hongbin, an email sent thirty minutes ago:

I have a meeting tonight after work. I’m sorry I keep cancelling our anniversary dinner, but I promise I’ll make it up to you.

-Hongbin

He wasn’t allowed on his phone during work hours, so he’d resorted in the last few months to a distant, formal mode of communication that the computer on his desktop would allow him. You hated it, mostly because a message from work meant the inevitable—Hongbin was telling you he was getting off late and/or cancelling plans. Today it was both.

You use the bathroom and wash your hands, drying them off on a towel next to you before picking your phone back up. You bite your lip, reading over the message once more. Your anniversary was three weekends ago, and Hongbin and you still weren’t able to celebrate because of his demanding schedule. You just wanted some time with him, but Hongbin insisted on getting dolled up and taking you out—which led to reservations and a special time allotted that he, in turn, kept being unable to make.   

You sigh. There’s nothing you can do—sending back a biting remark or getting mad would do nothing. Hongbin was working hard at his firm, determined to climb the ladder after his father. Who were you to complain about that process? He had drive, ambition, goals—and what did that matter in the face of his girlfriend wanting to spend a little time with him after a year of dating?

As you exit out of the email app, your phone vibrates in your hand, alerting a new message in a private Facebook chat. You click it open, revealing a smiling picture of Taehyung standing beside a road sign—one that you recognize well. Underneath the caption reads:

Guess who has two thumbs and just moved all their shit into an apartment here?

You break out into a grin instantly, fingers flying over the keyboard.

Shut UP! No fucking way! You got the job at the library???

Taehyung is typing . . .

Duh! Those fuckers want me to start Monday

I don’t have a bed frame or a comforter

My mattress is sitting on the floor with just a navy fitted sheet on it

You breathe out an airy laugh before sending your response.

Lmaooooo, poor kid

Congrats tho

That was so quick, you’re insane

It was too good of an opportunity to pass up!!

& thnx :) How’s your day going?

“Y/N, this century, please!” Yeonwoo yells from the living room. “Jesus.”

You send a quick movie marathon w/ Yeonwoo. Harry potter to Taehyung before tucking your phone back into your hoodie and walking back to the living room. You fall back on the couch, bundling up with your blanket and margarita glass.

“Sorry,” you say, giving her a smile. “Press play!”

Hongbin 9:36pm

Just getting home. I’m so tired

You roll your eyes at the message, throwing your phone back down onto your bed. You were cuddled up in a blanket, catching up on shows on your DVR while Yeonwoo was getting dressed for a night downtown. It was still raining, so you’d decided to stay in—but your roommate obviously didn’t care about her hair or herself getting wet whatsoever as she stepped into your room donning a short, black skirt.

“Is this cute?” she asks, turning around in a circle. “Maybe with a jean jacket or something?”

You nod. “What about that rugged one you just got from the thrift store a few days ago?”

She disappears again, some rustling coming from her room as she searches. “Are you sure you don’t want to go?” she calls. “We can pick one place and stay there, so we don’t get soaked!”

“I’m fine,” you say back, eyes trained on the TV. “I’m not really feeling it, just gonna watch some shows or something.”

Yeonwoo comes back into your room a few moments later, hair curled in pretty, loose ringlets and outfit complete with a skirt, floral top, jean jacket and boots. 

“Good?” she asks.

“Cute,” you say. “You leaving now?”

“Yeah, I just called the Uber. I’ll let you know when I’m on the way home, okay?”

You nod, listening to the sound of her boots clunking down the hallway before the front door opens and closes. You sigh. You probably should have went with her, knowing how she gets, but you hope that for once she can handle herself without you. Or that one of her friends is playing the “mom” card for the night. You wanted to sulk for a little bit; if your boyfriend was going to cancel plans, you might as well sit inside and do nothing and it be completely his fault.

You settle back into your blankets, trying to refocus on your show when your phone vibrates again by your thigh. You’re thinking it’s Yeonwoo, saying she forgot to lock the front door, or Hongbin, wondering why you haven’t responded to his earlier messages—but it’s neither.

Video Call from Kim Taehyung…

You stare at the screen, bewildered. Looking back at you is the reflection of someone who should not be seen in video form—but you find yourself hitting the ‘Accept’ button, anyways. Taehyung and you don’t video chat, so this is new.

Taehyung’s face fills the screen immediately, and your heart jumps at the sight. He’s wearing a dark beanie, his ashy blonde locks sticking out from the front and sides a little. In an awkward silence, he blinks twice into the camera, making sure he isn’t frozen from his side of the connection.

“Y/N?” he says with caution, and your breath hitches quietly at the sound of your name coming out of his mouth after so long.

Of course, with you and Taehyung having reconnected on social media a month ago, you’d done your fair share of stalking his profile—looking at pictures, status updates, his tagged content—but seeing his face on the screen of your phone was something else entirely. You find yourself speechless.

His eyes, pretty and brown, search the camera unsurely.

“Are you frozen?” he asks again, shifting in his seat. “Hello?”

You finally break out of your trance, opening your mouth and shaking your head a little. “Hi,” you say quietly, watching Taehyung’s face brighten at the sound of your voice.

“Hey!” he says, grinning. “We had a bad connection for a minute, there.”

“Yeah.” You laugh lowly, nervously. “The internet here sucks, sometimes.”

  “Yeah, same.” He moves around with his phone in his hand, placing the camera lower so that you get more of his chin and neck, the strong line of his jaw. In the background, you see plain white walls and kitchen cabinets, making you realize where he is, finally.

“Is this your new place?” you ask, sitting up in bed. “Let me see.”

“Yep!” He taps his screen twice, turning the camera around to the kitchen.

It’s a small, cozy room with dark granite counters and white walls, giving it a modern feel. Taehyung gets up from his seat and walks into the living room, giving you the tour. A small, dark couch sits against one wall with a ton of boxes surrounding it.

“I haven’t gotten much done,” he says, laughing nervously. “Moving by yourself is so hard. I had no idea.”

“You did everything alone?” you ask. “Your parents didn’t help?”

He doesn’t answer, moving past the living room to his bedroom, which is exactly like he explained earlier with a single mattress sitting against one wall, a night stand placed beside it and a desk on an adjacent wall.

“I was thinking of putting my bed in this corner,” he explains, “then it wouldn’t be up against that window and I’d have some space to do stuff in the middle.”

“Like what?” you tease. “Dance?”

“Yeah, maybe,” Taehyung says, laughing. He taps the screen again so the camera is back on his face, and your stomach clenches at how he prettily smiles into the camera. “You never know what can happen at casa de Taehyung.”

You roll your eyes, which only makes his smile grow brighter.

“But yeah, my parents helped me move the big stuff and then they left.” He frowns. “Now I have to unpack everything before I work on Monday.”

You shrug. “Well, you don’t have to. But I guess that would make the most sense, huh?”

“Yep.” He sighs. “Oh! I have a reason for this phone call that I keep forgetting to ask you.”

A little part of you feels relieved. It felt odd but good talking to Taehyung, but you were beginning to wonder why he’d chosen videoing instead of a text or phone call—either way, you were happy he was taking your mind off of other things for the time being.

You watch him walk back through his apartment to the kitchen, where he turns the camera on a bouquet of flowers sitting on the table.

“How do I keep these alive?” he asks. “Someone gave them to me as a housewarming gift—don’t ask why, I have no idea. I mean, seriously,” he turns the camera back on himself, quirking a thick eyebrow, “do I look like a flowers kind of guy?”

You giggle. “I mean, maybe?” you say. “Remember in high school when Mina asked you to prom? She went all out with it, too! She got someone to record it and she brought you flowers—”

“And I had to gently let her down because I’d just asked you out a week earlier?” he finishes for you, cringing at the thought. “God, that was terrible.”

“Hey, I told you to go with her!” you counter, laughing. “I didn’t care about prom whatsoever, but you made me go anyways.”

Taehyung shrugs, giving you a soft smile. “But you were so pretty in your dress, so I don’t wanna hear it.”

Your next laugh dies in your throat, but you manage a smile at Taehyung’s compliment. You two are quiet for a beat, eyes focused on each other in the camera lens as you relive the moment in your memories.

“The flowers need a vase,” you say, finally. “Do you have one?”

Taehyung cocks his head to the side. “If I’m not a flower guy, why the hell would I have a vase handy?”

You resist the urge to roll your eyes again at his ever-present sarcasm. “Shut up.”

“Should I put them by the window?” he asks, getting up from his chair. “In the morning, they can—”

“No!” you say, a little louder than you mean to. Taehyung freezes on your screen. “I mean, direct sunlight will make them wilt faster. Don’t you know anything?”

“I know you’re being very unhelpful to my situation,” he says, tsking. “Do you have a vase?”

“Yeah?”

“Then bring it to me.”

You pause, feeling your heartbeat increase as you ponder the offer. Bring it to him? As in to his house? As in seeing each other for the first time in two years?

“Oh, uh—yeah,” you stutter, eyebrows furrowing. “I guess I could. I mean, you said you needed help unpacking . . . before Monday . . . right?”

Taehyung nods, keeping his expression even. “I’ll make it worth your while—I can make us lunch or dinner or something. Whenever you’re free to help tomorrow.”

You’re still quiet, so he tacks on: “Don’t feel like you have to or anything!”

“No, no.” You shake your head. “Sunday is good.” Hongbin was going on a golfing trip with some coworkers and Yeonwoo would be passed out until the afternoon time. “I can come, and I’ll bring you a vase.”

You’re glad you agreed, because the way Taehyung’s face brightens—a wide smile splitting his face—makes you feel like you’d do anything to see it happen more often.

“Great,” he says. Then he sighs, and looks past the camera around at his apartment. “Well, I’m going to try to get some stuff done in the kitchen tonight so we have somewhere to eat tomorrow.”  His eyes meet yours once more: twinkling, hopeful, a little mischievous, but that’s just Taehyung. “I’ll see you then?”

“Yeah,” you hear yourself say, “See you then.”

His voice is a soft hum to your ears, “Goodnight, Y/N,” right before he disconnects the call.

The screen goes back to Facebook, and you stare at it for a little while, relishing in the excited rush flowing through your veins, at the familiarity of it all, at one thought turning over in your brain for the rest of the night: you were going to see Taehyung tomorrow.

You tell Taehyung you won’t be headed over to his place until after lunchtime, but your excited nerves have you awake at eight. You stare at the ceiling fan rotating in the center of your bedroom for a while, watching a single blade spin while your mind reels similarly until you feel dizzy and have to close your eyes again. It was just Taehyung, and you were just doing him a favor. So why did it feel like you were keeping a secret?

After watching a little TV in the comfort of your bed, you get up and take a shower, going through your normal routine at a leisurely pace to help waste some time. You grab a granola bar off your desk and eat it while you pick out an outfit. When you finally step out of your room and into the living room, you’re surprised to see Yeonwoo stretched out on the couch, a white sheet mask covering her face as she watches TV.

“Hangover?” you comment, snickering. “You’re up early.”

“So are you,” she snaps back, but her usual biting remark is softened by the stiffness of her mouth as she tries not to move too much and disturb the mask. “Where you going?”

You decide to tell the truth, seeing if it helps ease the building anxiety in your stomach. And to cover your tracks for later, whatever later was. “I’m helping an old friend move into their apartment.”

Yeonwoo sits up, eyeing your outfit—a pair of plain jeans, a crew neck sweater and sneakers. When she’s satisfied with your believable clothes, she relaxes, shrugging her shoulders. “Sounds like a shitty way to spend a Sunday, but okay. Have fun.”

You laugh with her, trying to sneak out of the house without any further questions. Just as you open the door, she hits you with another: “What’s with the vase?”

“Housewarming gift!” you quip, stepping outside. “Bye!”

You realize on the way over that you’re making a mistake.

You should have told Hongbin. You weren’t just going to help an old friend, you were going to help an old ex. A person who, foolishly, in high school, you thought you were going to spend a good portion—if not the rest—of your life with.

You look down at the housewarming gift in the passenger seat of your car: a bottle of white Riesling with a gold bow around it, and your stomach twists in nausea. As the GPS directs you to make a u-turn because you just missed the exit to Taehyung’s house, you find yourself pulling off onto the side of the road.

Hongbin answers on the fifth ring.

“Hey,” you say timidly, biting your lip for a second. “I just wanted to call you—I’m like, I don’t even know what I’m doing right now—”

A roar of laughter erupts in your ear, cutting you off. You hear Hongbin excusing himself and some rustling before he finally addresses you. “Y/N, hey,” he says, rushed. “What’s up? I told you I was busy today with work.”

It’s a response so fucking typical of him you can’t even give him the satisfaction of getting mad. Here you are, trying to give him some insight on your worries and he’s too busy chasing a promotion to care.

“Seriously? You’re not at work, Hongbin,” you remind him sourly. “You’re on a golfing trip kissing ass.”

“And if we ever expect to move in together, I’m going to have to get back to kissing said ass, Y/N,” he snaps back just as easily. “I’ve got to go.”

“Fine. Forget it. Bye.”

You hit end on the call and throw your phone down in the seat next to you, listening to the harsh sound of it smacking against glass. You wince, and although you don’t want to, you glance down to make sure you haven’t broken the two gifts beside you.

Taehyung. Your annoyance at Hongbin drains and nervousness replaces it—but it’s a feeling you’d rather have a thousand times over than one of neglect. So you put the car back into drive, make the designated u-turn the GPS is telling you to, and get back on the road to Taehyung’s house.

Which building/room?

Taehyung is typing . . .

1100/425!

You grab the wine in one hand and the vase in the other, making the short walk from the parking lot to the building lobby. You take a deep breath as you step into the elevator, letting it fill your chest, lungs, stomach, and letting it out through your nose only when the shaft lurches to a halt. A ding sounds as the elevator stops on the fourth floor, and all too quickly you are standing in front of room 425.

With your heartbeat pounding against your rib cage, you rap your knuckles softly on the surface. You hear heavy footsteps and clicks of the lock, and then Taehyung is swinging the door open, his face full of delight to see you standing on the other side.

He’s traded the beanie and sweater from yesterday for freshly washed hair that sits in voluminous, messy pieces on his forehead, a grey zip up hoodie, and black sweats. He looks so reminiscent of times when you two were in high school hanging out at his house that you feel relieved—if anything, he was still the Taehyung that loved to be in baggy, comfortable clothes.  

“You made it!” he says, grinning. “And you brought the vase!”

He steps back and gestures for you to come inside, which you do, cautiously. You glance at the floor, following his bare feet into the kitchen, watching as they come to a stop in front of the oven.

You set the vase down on the table, still gripping the wine awkwardly in your left hand. “I um—brought this, for you,” you say, holding the bottle out towards him. “Hope you still like sweet white.”

Taehyung smiles softly, taking the gift from you. “Of course I do. Maybe we can crack it open after dinner.”

You nod, and the space between you two falls into an uncomfortable silence. Taehyung tries to make it not as obvious that he’s taking you in—eyes trailing from your head to your toes and back again, taking note of all the changes—but you can feel his gaze on you even as you look away, bringing an embarrassing heat to your already warm face.

You clear your throat. “How much did you get done last night?”

Taehyung seems to remember why you are there, finally, pushing off his relaxed stance against the counters and walking into the living room.

“The kitchen is pretty finished, I think,” he says. “But there are so many boxes in the living room that need to be unpacked.”

Your eyes trail over the ones stacked on top of each other on the couch, blocking any and all possible ways of relaxing in front of the flat screen TV already perched on an entertainment stand.

You sigh. “Well, let’s start with those, then.”

You two fall back into your old rhythm quickly. You’re grateful for this, because the first thirty minutes are spent quietly unpacking, neither of you being sure what to say to the other until Taehyung finally starts talking about his library interview.

You catch back up on what each other have been up two since high school: you, working full time and just recently deciding to go back to school, and Taehyung, living with his parents while he took day classes and saved up money to move out. In two years time, both of you have grown up so much; but also not, by the way you still reminisce about the past, teasing each other about old embarrassments and times together.

Taehyung has matured. He has hardened in places—the line of his jaw and playful glint in his eyes both sharper, body filled out and lean underneath the thin t-shirt that you see after he sheds his hoodie, voice sultry and deep, an air of confidence that follows his movements that you aren’t used to seeing. You wonder what changed him, but you’re fine with whatever it was because this is a good look for him.

“We’re so stupid for moving out so early,” he says later, flopping back on the now-cleared couch. His face glows with a radiant warmth, his hairline a little sweaty from moving furniture around in the living room. You’d offered to help but you couldn’t lift much—and Taehyung had insisted he could do it by himself.

“Hey, Yeonwoo and I are doing just fine,” you counter, frowning. You take a seat on the opposite end of the couch, pulling your legs underneath you. “You should have gotten a roommate. It would make everything easier.”

“I don’t want to live with anyone, though,” he replies.

“Why?”

He shrugs. “It’s hard.”

“So is paying rent by yourself,” you add, laughing. “I think you’re hard to get along with, and that’s why you don’t want a roommate.”

Taehyung raises a questioning eyebrow, crossing his arms. “Explain.”

“Well for starters,” you begin ticking each point off on your fingers, “everything has to be neat and tidy. You hate mess.”

“This is true. Go on.”

“And,” you add another finger, “You survive off of coffee and chicken wraps like a weirdo, so a roommate would starve going grocery shopping with you.”

Taehyung rolls his eyes, but lets you have that one. “Mhm, and?”

“And, you smoke. Not everyone likes that.”

Taehyung smiles, knowing he has the one-up on you. “That, my dear, is where you’re wrong,” he says. “I quit.”

You sit up a little. “What? For real?”

“It’s too expensive,” he says. “I do something a little cheaper, now.”

“Cigarettes?” you say, unable to hide the disgust in your tone.

Taehyung reaches in the pocket of his hoodie thrown over the back of the couch. “Cigars,” he says, brandishing a rectangular box.

You furrow your brows. “But you used to smoke these before.”

“And now they’re weed-less,” he counters, giving you an impish grin. “Here, smell.”

He takes one out and hands it to you. It’s skinny—not the giant ones that mob bosses smoke in movies—and you bring it to your nose with caution. On the inhale, your senses are flooded with a sweet, smoky smell, something reminiscent of fruit and maybe, firewood.

You hand it back to him and he digs around in his pocket for a lighter. You reach for the box instead. “Summer blend?” you read.

“Yeah, they’re pretty good.”

He lights it up, takes a long inhale. You watch the tip glow red, watch the way Taehyung’s mouth purses around the end before he blows out a continuous exhale of smoke. Even though you’re on the other end of the couch, the smell hits you immediately and you realize it’s one that has been floating in the air since you got there. Earlier, when Taehyung brushed past you to get another box you would smell it, and you thought it was just the scent of his deodorant or body wash. Somehow, knowing it comes from a cigar makes it more enticing, and you watch curiously as Taehyung takes another slow drag.

His eyes meet yours through the skinny smoke hovering in the air and he raises an eyebrow. “Want to try?”

You feel yourself reaching for it before you’ve entirely made up your mind. You smoked a cigarette, once. You hated it. But that wasn’t with Taehyung watching you intently from the end of the couch, so you find yourself more inclined to like cigars as you bring the plastic tip to your mouth.

You cough a little on the exhale, but otherwise it doesn’t feel like anything. You find yourself wishing for something a little stronger, and your eyes drift to the unopened bottle of wine on the table as you hand the cigar back to Taehyung. His eyebrows raise questioningly at you, but otherwise he doesn’t say anything.

You gesture to the kitchen. “What’s for dinner?” You pause. “Or late lunch, rather?”

Taehyung scratches the back of his neck lazily. “Umm—”

“You didn’t buy anything, did you?” you guess with a sigh. “So typical of a chicken-wrap-and-coffee guy.”

“What? No.” He laughs. “I said I was going to cook for you but it’s going to take a second. Is that okay?”

“Oh.” You perk back up. “Yeah, that’s fine.”

“Great.” He gives you a smirk. “But you’re right about the chicken wrap thing—I'm also a dying-vase-of-flowers guy,” he adds jokingly, getting up from the couch and walking towards the dining room table. He puts his cigar out in a little ash tray on the table, touching the wilted bouquet before spinning on his heel to look at you. “Can we salvage these?”

“I suppose I can work my magic,” you say playfully. “You start cooking.”

“Deal.”

While Taehyung pulls pots, pans, and ingredients from the cabinets, you work on cutting the stems on the flowers shorter. As you run them under cold water in the sink, Taehyung looks on from your side.

“Girls must be born with the ability to take care of things,” he hums appreciatively.

You smile a little and try not to let him see it as you pull dead leaves and wilted petals off before finally, sticking all the stems in the clear, glass vase you brought from your apartment.

“Pretty?” you ask.

Taehyung turns around from where he’s chopping vegetables at the counter. “Perfect,” he agrees. “You’ve earned a glass of wine.”

“You say that like I didn’t buy it,” you snort, rolling your eyes.

“Hey, it’s my housewarming gift,” he says. “But I’m willing to share.”

You grab a glass from the cabinet Taehyung points to, thanking every instinct under the sun that you thought to get a bottle that had a screw-on top. Without looking for it, you know Taehyung wouldn’t have a wine opener.

“What are you making?” you ask.

“Stir fry,” he says. “I figured it would be quick and easy. That okay?”

You sip quietly and stand beside Taehyung as he chops, looking at the graceful way in which he handles food. His hands, big and tan, work with a knife flawlessly. You can’t help but wonder where he learned the skill—in high school he hadn’t known how to cook eggs properly.

He gets you to pour some wine in a separate glass for him that he sips on occasionally. You’re glad you thought about buying it—somehow having a drink in your hands eases the awkward staleness in the room that seems to creep back in during silences. He asks you a few more questions while he prepares—what was the best place to eat in town, what was the nightlife like, what was there to do for fun—and you rattle off what you little you know.

Lastly, he pulls out a small package of white mushrooms and begins slicing them. When he sees the uneasy expression on your face at the addition of a certain hearty vegetable, he shakes his head.

“I’m cooking them in a separate pan, love,” Taehyung murmurs quietly, brow furrowed in concentration. He doesn’t even look at you when he says it, casually tacking on the old pet name onto the end, but you’re glad he doesn’t, because the shock on your face would tell everything.

He hasn’t forgotten anything about you or your preferences. The thought pulls at invisible strings on your insides, but it’s not the same anxiousness as earlier. It’s more of a warmth, an appreciation, a heartfelt emotion that has been silently gnawing at the back of all your interactions since you stepped foot in his apartment. You missed this.

You down what’s left of the wine in the bottom of your glass, hoping the alcohol will take that tight feeling in your throat with it as it travels to your stomach.

“Shit, I forgot to cut up the broccoli!” Taehyung says suddenly. “Y/N can you do that while I get these mushrooms frying? They’re going to take longer.”

You nod, going to the refrigerator. Taehyung puts a pan on the stove and turns on the burner, digging around for a spatula to cook with as you grab the knife and get to work. Somehow, you forget everything you’ve ever learned about cooking or cutting, and a few seconds into slicing the broccoli stem, the tip of the paring knife goes right through the tip of your index finger.

“Ow, fuck!” you say, dropping the knife immediately and cradling your injured finger with your other hand. It oozes blood and you step back from the cutting board to save the food.

Taehyung is at your side immediately. “You okay?” He cuts off the stove burner and rushes out of the kitchen. “Run it under some water, I’ll get the first aid kit!”

It isn’t bad, but it’s going to need a band-aid if you expect to carry on the night without a huge mess. You watch the dark red liquid start to run down your finger so you walk out of the kitchen to avoid getting blood in that sink and opt for the bathroom connected to Taehyung’s bedroom instead.

“I know the first aid kit is around here somewhere,” he murmurs as you walk through, his back to you as he bends over a few boxes stacked in the corner of his room.

You turn the sink on and rinse off the blood pooling at the end, blotting it dry with a square of toilet paper. Taehyung walks into the bathroom with the first aid kit just as you are closing the lid on the toilet, sitting on the seat as you apply light pressure to the cut.

“Is it bad?” he asks, crouching down in front of you. He pulls some ointment out of the kit and flips your hand over, cradling it with his much bigger one as he inspects the damage.

“It’s fine, I think,” you say, trying hard not to show the way tingles are shooting up your arm as Taehyung spreads a small amount of ointment on your finger, hands dancing and caressing your skin with care as he tends to it. “Sorry that I’m so awful at using a knife.”

He looks up at you, giving you a pretty, genuine smile. “It’s okay, I should have remembered—last time we tried to cook together it ended in a disaster, too.”

There’s a beat of silence—partly because you are racking your brain trying to remember the specific time Taehyung is referring to, and partly because suddenly, his face is close to yours for the first time of the entire night and you can see everything that you missed about Taehyung: the chocolate irises that stare happily back at you, the freckle that dots the tip of his nose that you used to kiss over and over, the softness of his pink lips and the way they pull back over a set of straight, beautiful teeth and send a warm smile your way.

And then his head is bent again, the moment gone as quickly as it came as he focuses back on the task at hand. He grabs a thin band-aid from the kit and works on unwrapping it, letting go of your fingers for the time being.

“Thanks for this,” you say, finally. “And thanks for inviting me over, I’m really—” you pause, licking your dry lips and trying to swallow the lump that’s suddenly formed in your throat, “I’m glad I got to see you.”

Taehyung doesn’t look up immediately at the confession—instead, he lets it linger quietly in the air of his cramped bathroom as he peels the paper strips off the sides of the bandaid. He wraps it around your finger gingerly, dropping the trash in the waste basket that sits beside the toilet. Still crouched in front of you, Taehyung pulls your hand up, fingertips aligning with his as if measuring your hand sizes before he intertwines them between yours. He gives your hand a squeeze like this, and you find it hard to look away as your eyes meet.

“Me too, Y/N,” he says softly. “I missed you.”

The quietness of Taehyung’s apartment lays easily on the conversation, covering the confession like a warm blanket. Your face is hot, and you can’t tell if it’s because of the wine or the intensity in which Taehyung is staring at you, still crouched in between your legs and holding your hand with his own.

When his eyes lower from yours finally, you realize you had been holding your breath the whole time, and you let it out quietly through your nose. Taehyung seems to deflate in front of you as well—deciding against whatever was rolling in his mind and making his eyebrows furrowed, as he loosens his grip on your hand and moves to straighten up.

But you don’t want him to move yet. You want to stay in this atmosphere, in this pulse-racing closeness with Taehyung because it’s a feeling that hasn’t coursed through your veins in a long, long time. You tug him back into place and he stutters at the movement, opening his mouth to say something but you don’t let him.

You just want to touch him, to feel him underneath the weight of your fingertips, to run your hand across the tan, smooth skin of his cheek. The feeling is so strong you can’t decide a solid reason why you shouldn’t. So you untangle your hand from his and rake it through the long, blonde strands of his hair, scratching lightly at the back of his neck where you know he likes it. Taehyung’s eyes close from pleasure, familiarness—and when he opens them, you know he’s lost the battle with himself from the fire lit behind his brown irises. You don’t mind, because you lose the same battle when you decide to lean in, using your hand resting on the back of Taehyung’s neck to guide his lips to yours.

The kiss is timid at first, a testing of the waters with closed mouths pressed against each other because neither of you are sure what is happening, or if it should be happening. But when Taehyung brings his hands up to cup the sides of your face, breaking away for just a second to reposition so that his lips are slanted across yours in a harder, more urgent kiss—all sensibility you had leaves the room.

Taehyung pulls you up from your sitting position as he straightens his legs from crouching, using the opportunity to bring you closer and wrap his arms around your waist while his lips graze feverishly across your own. It’s been  over two years without pressing your lips against his, but the moment they touch, everything comes back. Taehyung kisses you to leave you breathless, his tongue easily slipping in after a few moments, lacing with your own in a way that is familiar but exciting and new at the same time.

You’re reminded of the mushrooms suddenly, and that Taehyung hasn’t forgotten anything about you like this, either, despite some time apart: the way you loved it when he cradled your face with one hand while his other wrapped around your waist, cocooning you in his warmth and pressing you against his lean body; kissing you slow, but hot and needy to where your body can’t help but feel like melted ice cream in his hands; the way you loved it when he pulled back and looked at you, gauging your reaction to it all, even when he knew exactly what he was doing to you before diving back in with eagerness that made your heart skip.

When you break away to get some air, Taehyung only moves his attention to the skin of your neck, peppering kisses down your jawline until he reaches your pulse point, suckling on the skin lightly there. You close your eyes, tilting your head back to encourage him further, a breathy sigh releasing from between your lips at the warmth of his mouth.

Somewhere along the sucking and nipping and feverish, open-mouth kisses on your skin, Taehyung begins walking you back through the bathroom door frame and into his bedroom. You stumble with him towards the bed, unable to take your hands off of each other for fear that the moment will be ruined and unable to be recaptured with quite the same amount of passion. Neither of you speak, either, for the same reasons, you suppose--but you couldn’t say anything if you wanted; Taehyung doesn’t give you a chance with the way his mouth dances across yours.

Taehyung lightly pushes your shoulders once you’re at the edge of his mattress that sits on the floor—sans bed frame—and you lower yourself down as he follows you, covering your body with all of his. He positions himself perfectly between your legs so that his hard cock sits right against your center, placing pressure on your most sensitive bits, and Taehyung milks a slight moan from your mouth when he ruts against you.

Your clasp the sides of his face, bringing his lips back to yours with fervor unmatched to any time you’d been kissed in the past two years. While Taehyung licks inside of your mouth, your hands roam underneath his thin, white T-shirt, fingernails dragging along the skin of his back in a light scratch that has him groaning in the back of his throat. He leaves your mouth again to nip along your collarbones, bringing one of his hands up to pull down the collar of your sweater and give himself more access.

It’s hot in his room, and not because the A/C isn’t working—in between closing your eyes, you see the vent on the ceiling right above your heads—but your skin is warm all over your body, a feeling that only comes with the circumstance of Taehyung between your legs. You roll your hips upward  to meet his, making his mouth stutter in the marks of distinction it was making along your chest. He sits up, kneeling between your legs and looking at you with curious eyes. Taehyung’s lips are swollen from all the kissing and his hair is mussed from your fingertips running through it, but in this moment, you’ve never been more attracted to him.

You tug at the bottom of his shirt and Taehyung snatches it over his head with ease, smirking when your eyes roam over the tan, lean planes of his chest and stomach. His shoulders have widened and broadened, but he’s still managed to keep a slender, boyish figure over the years; you want to run your hands over every crevice of his body and re-remember all the lines so that when this moment between you two is done,  you can revisit the memory over and over and over.

When Taehyung leans back over you to connect your lips again, you roll over his body before he can, pushing him flat on his back and swinging your leg over so that you’re straddling his waist. Though Taehyung looks surprised at first at the sudden dominance, his eyebrows slowly return to their normal position on his forehead as you lean down to kiss him once more.

He melts underneath the brush of your mouth, his hands rubbing up and down your thighs caging him on either side of his body. While you trace the underside of his jaw with your tongue, he breathes out, “God, I missed you,” while his hands roam upward, grabbing what he can of your ass through the jeans you have on. The movement makes you jump in surprise and Taehyung laughs a little at the way you pull back from him to look at the playfulness in his eyes before he leans up and kisses you on the mouth chastely.

With his hands spread across your backside, Taehyung pulls your hips towards him, causing you to grind against his hard cock that sits beneath the crotch of his grey sweats. You close your eyes as Taehyung’s tongue sneaks out to tease against yours, coaxing you with the warmth of his mouth and his lap to continue your ministrations.

“Tae,” you breathe out, bowing your head as you continue to grind on him.

Your panties are slick with your wetness, sticking to you uncomfortably underneath your jeans but you’re too lost in the haziness of the moment to do anything about it. You realize how pathetic you might sound, moaning because of the friction between so many clothes, but when you open your eyes and look at Taehyung, staring half-lidded back at you and breathing heavily—you couldn’t care less. His gaze sends a knot coiling in your stomach, tightening with every roll of your hips.

When you moan his name again shamelessly, Taehyung sinks his teeth into his bottom lip, closing his eyes as if fighting with himself for what he wants to say—but then he loses when the words escape his plump lips.

“What is it, baby?” he murmurs. “Why don’t you take these off?” He pats his hands where they rest against your butt, squeezing once again through the material.

The thought flashes in your head of what underwear you wore today—certainly not a fuck me pair—and try to think of how Taehyung would react to seeing your simple, baby blue cotton panties.

“Hm?” he asks, letting his hand come down on your ass in a harder smack this time—still encouraging the roll of your hips against his cock. “Take them off, I want to touch you.” He pauses, fighting the groan building in the back of his throat. “Wanna—make you feel good, Y/N.”

Hongbin is never this forward with you—he wasn’t much of an ass guy in the first place, so he would never do this—and since it had been a while since you two shared a passionate moment because of his work schedule, you couldn’t remember what it was like with Taehyung overpowering those memories with his sensual, fiery touches and narrations.

You want to get completely lost in the moment, but you can’t. Hongbin—he floods back into your brain, unwarranted and at the utmost wrong time he possibly could. It’s all happening so fast—but not fast enough. Your mind takes over instead of your body, your wants, and you open your eyes from their closed state, taking in the sight before you:

Taehyung, underneath you. Shirtless. Small, pink marks covering his neck and chest from your mouth. From your mistakes. From your infidelity. You snatch your hands back from where they rest on his stomach, guilt flooding your system as the fog in your brain thins. Taehyung’s eyes open to anxiously search yours, and he knows immediately what has happened in the last few, precious seconds.

“Taehyung—” you gasp, moving off him and scooting away, off the mattress and toward the wall of his bedroom. When the cold, hard material presses against your back, you realize how far your shirt was pushed up—how close you were to taking it off with your pants following shortly after, and it only makes you feel worse.

“Y/N,” Taehyung says, rushing to crawl after you on his hands and knees. He cradles your cheeks between his hands, brushing away trails of tears you didn’t even know you were crying. “Y/N, I’m sorry—fuck, I’m so fucking sorry. I—” he pauses, running a hand through his air, looking past you with far off eyes. “I didn’t mean for this to happen, god. Fuck!”

You run a shaky hand through your hair, blinking away tears and moving your head side to side in disbelief.

“I’m sorry,” you murmur, pushing his hands away. “I have to go—I have to leave, I’m—” you push up from the floor, walking on shaky legs towards Taehyung’s bedroom door.

He grabs his shirt and is after you in a flash, reaching out to capture your wrist in his before you can make it far. “Y/N, wait a second, we should talk about this.”

You pull out of his loose grip and he lets you, watching you with worried eyes as you put on your shoes and jacket by the door.

“Y/N, please,” he says, and you can hear the hopelessness in his voice. It makes you pause and look up at him, but then your eyes zero-in on the marks on his chest, at the shirt in his hand, and your eyesight blurs with tears again.

“There’s nothing to talk about, Taehyung,” you say. “I’m sorry, this was—this was a mistake.”

Taehyung flinches at the sound of the word, but he nods slowly in understanding. “I’m sor—”

You manage a soft me too, cutting him off before he can say it and then you are rushing out, pulling Taehyung’s front door shut behind you. Just before it closes you catch a glimpse of his kitchen, at the pans on the stove sitting with the cold, forgotten remainders of a dinner that never should have happened in the first place.

— One week later —

“You all right?” Yeonwoo asks as she sits across from you at the kitchen table, setting a mug of steaming hot coffee in front of your tightly clasped hands. This is about the millionth time she’s asked since you got back from Taehyung’s last Sunday—it’s annoying, but at least you’re getting to practice your lying by having to convince her over and over.

“I’ll be great as soon as I drink this,” you say, giving her a smile right before the cup touches your lips. You welcome the burning feeling of the coffee, coating the lies and guilt that keep building up in your throat whenever she asks you.

Yeonwoo hums in agreement, naively, and takes a sip from her own mug.

Of course, you couldn’t tell her what had happened—you couldn’t even process the thoughts yourself, much less explain to someone else what made you cross such a terribly huge line in your seemingly stable relationship. You know you’d wished for it in the moment, but now you want the unrelenting memories of Taehyung to stop flashing through your mind at any given moment and give your poor, guilty heart a fucking break.

“Want to go shopping today?” Yeonwoo asks, not looking up from scrolling on her phone. “I need a new pair of boots.”

You take another sip of your coffee in contemplation, glancing at your own phone sitting a few inches away on the table. Taehyung hadn’t contacted you once since then, and it was eating at your nerves a little bit—shouldn’t he have something to say about it?

“We can go,” you say, finally. “But I need to make a phone call, first.”

Yeonwoo nods and doesn’t look up as you leave the room. You walk in your bedroom, phone in hand and shut the door behind you. For good measure, you lock it, just in case Yeonwoo decides to burst in while you sit Indian style in the middle of your floor and try to figure your conflicted emotions out.

You tap the Facebook app on your home screen and type ‘T’ into the search bar—the first person that pops up is Kim Taehyung from your incessant checking of his timeline within the last week. All he’d posted was a few normal pics of himself sightseeing around town and going to work; it was all boring, mundane things that didn’t help the insatiable craving to reach out to him, but at least he looked cute in his new work button-ups.

You pull up your chat, staring at the last message between you two:

Which building/room?

1100/425!

You knew where his house was, you could just have this conversation to him in person—the thought has you shaking your head before you even finish it. If you couldn’t control yourself last time, how the hell would it be any different during a second round of being alone together?

But, deep down, did you really want it to be any different? The thought had been scaring you for a week straight.

You drag both of your hands down your face in anxiety, pressing your knuckles against your eyes until you see black and static stars. You cross and uncross your legs, pick your phone up and put it down a few times before you finally click in the space to type and let your thoughts formulate freely:

Taehyung, I’m sorry that I left last Sunday and we didn’t really get to talk about what happened. But I’ve had some time to think. Honestly, I think the only thing we can do is put it behind us and move on. I’m sorry that it happened and it shouldn’t happen again. But meeting up made me realize how much I’ve missed you, and I think I kind of need you around as my friend. I’m really sorry, and I hope you still want to talk to me after this. I understand if you don’t, though.

You press send and throw your phone away from you, pulling your knees up to your chest and burying your face in the space between your legs and chest. You breathe out shallowly, thinking over in your head what you just texted and hoping it didn’t make you sound like a pitiful, stupid, selfish idiot.

You knew it was wrong of you to ask Taehyung to come back in your life after what happened between the two of you. Hell, you know it was wrong to bring him back into your life after two years of radio silence between the two of you. What happened was more than just a moment—it was a melding of hidden feelings, of unfulfilled desires and the unrelenting urge to be with someone who knew your body better than you did.

You loved Hongbin. But Taehyung set a fire within your ribcage that billowed outwards and swallowed everything you thought you wanted in your relationship with your current boyfriend; Taehyung, in just a few short hours, had made you forget all of it, made you cross lines you swore you never would because you knew what it felt like to be cheated on. But something about it had felt so right in the moment—

No. If you were going to do this, you had to do it right. You had to be Taehyung’s friend. You had to bury the moment you two shared along with all your dirty desires and do what was right.

But then again, you never were the best at making decisions. The thought passes through your mind as you hear the distinct, vibrating hum of your phone across the floor a few feet away from you, and you snatch it up with sweating palms, a racing heart, and an unrelenting sense of hope blossoming in your chest.

Before the message even pops up, you know, without a single fucking doubt in your mind, that this moment is going to change everything.

Taehyung is typing...

In The Woods (Rocket x OC)

Max, the hunters, and the characters in the town, the rest belong to Marvel! <3

The art is also done by me.

------ Chapter 13, Fishing V2 ------ "Let's go, Max, we're wasting daylight!" Rocket called from the door, his fishing pole and tackle box in hand.

"I'm coming!" Max called from her room.

Rocket sighed and turned to look at the lake, it had been a day since their long discussion. Rocket had already made a few guns to sell and a little something else, but he planned to keep that a surprise.

"Alright, let's go."

Rocket turned back and blushed, she was dressed in jeans and a black tank top that perfectly displayed her breasts, she wore a flannel jacket over it and her pole was held loosely in her hand.

"You ready, Rocky?" She grinned, the nickname only causing his cheeks to redden further.

"I uh, y-yeah, w-whenever you are," he stuttered out.

"Alrighty then, let's get going."

With that, they made their way down to the river, Rocket looking at the ground as they walked. Sometimes it felt like she was doing this to him on purpose, was he really that obvious?

"So, uh, how many are we catching today?" He questioned as he set down the tackle box.

"Oh, I don't know, I'd like to catch about three dozen but that's probably just wishful thinking."

He grinned, "Eh I don't know, I think I got something that can help us out."

Max sighed, "Oh boy, what did you make?"

"Oh, just made a little somethin that'll make fishing a hell of a lot more easier," he said as he opened the tackle box and pulled out a small metal ball with a button on top.

"Rocket, I don't know about this."

"It'll be fine," he said with a wave of his hand, "Just watch."

With that, he clicked the button and tossed it into the middle of the river. Max covered her ears and winced as a loud boom erupted and water sprayed everywhere, Max yelped as she got sprayed with water. She could hear Rocket laughing, she turned to meet his gaze with a glare.

"Look at you, you're soaking!" Rocket laughed as he clutched his gut.

She just sighed and crossed her arms, "I guess this is what I get for making fun of you for falling, huh?"

"Yeah, yeah, it is-"

Rocket stopped himself when his eyes fell onto her breasts, now shinning due to the water and even more pronounced by how Max was crossing her arms. Max followed his gaze and blushed, quickly putting her arms down to her sides as Rocket turned away.

"That's, uh, a pretty neat way of fishing Rocket, but maybe we should try it the old fashioned way, just for now," she said awkwardly as she walked over to the edge of the river to see several fishes that were blown onto land.

"Y-Yeah, thanks, I uh, I'm gonna go look around a bit, I think I saw some fish over on the other side of the river," Rocket muttered as he slowly back away from her.

"Yeah, alright, just be careful," she replied, not bothering to turn around to look at him.

Rocket was quick to leave, his whole face was red as he made his way to the other side of the river. He couldn't believe he did that, that he stared like that. He was so humiliated, his thoughts going back to when he told her he had a thing for humans. God, now she'll probably think he has a thing for her, well, he does, but he didn't want her to know that! She'd probably be disgusted or freaked out, maybe she'd try to avoid him or hell, she might even kick him out. The kiss they shared flashed through his mind, she was the one who kissed him, why would she do that if she didn't like him? He just answered that with, it was just the heat of the moment, she wanted him to stay and she was going to do anything for that.

Rocket groaned as he rubbed his eyes, "I'm such a fucking idiot."

---

Max sat along the ridge, she could see Rocket on the other side of the river, picking up the leftover fish. Her face was still tinted red as she thought about Rocket and the way he stared at her. She never thought he'd do something like that, then again, he was a guy. Of course, he'd stare at any boobs that happen to be laid out in front of him. It just seemed so weird to think that Rocket, a highly intelligent raccoon, would like boobs. But then again, he wasn't just a raccoon, if anything he was more human then she could ever have possibly imagined.

There was a strange sort of glee she felt whenever Rocket acted shy and taken back by her. It brought her a sense of power and made her feel confident. She wondered what it'd be like to become intimate with him. Would he want kids, would he ever want to settle down, how would he want to raise his children, what does settling down look like for him, what would being with him be like, what would it be like to have sex with him, has he ever had sex, what does his dick look like?

Max shook her head, these were not the type of thoughts she should be having about her best friend. Besides, she's already seen his dick, the night she fished him out of the river and changed him she saw it. Though she didn't really remember anything about it, she was more focused on the cybernetics on his back and what he was to even worry about his penis. She often wondered about the cybernetics, always forgetting to ask him about it, she assumed it was what made him what he was and without it, he'd just be a super-smart raccoon.

"Hey, Max."

She jumped as she heard his voice, her head snapped around and saw Rocket standing behind her with his arms filled with fish.

"I uh, I'm sorry about, y'know, earlier, for starin," he muttered as he looked at the ground shamefully.

She smiled softly, "It's alright Rocket, I shouldn't be wearing this shirt anyways, it's not really proper fishing gear," she laughed.

He gave a small nod, "Yeah, I uh, I just wanted to apologize."

She nodded, "Thanks Rocket, you're sweet."

His cheeks darkened as Max turned away, he set down the fish onto the ground before sitting next to her. They sat in silence for a while, Max catching a few fish here and there. It was about one in the afternoon when they decided to call it quits. Max told Rocket that she'd be heading to town to sell the fish and asked if he wanted to come with to which he declined, he needed to keep working on his guns and make sure they're safe before selling them.

When Max finally returned it was late in the afternoon, she had a bag full of clothes in her hand and a smile on her face.

"Hey Rocket, I got some clothes for you."

He eyed the bag as she pulled out a t-shirt that was obviously way too big for him.

He cocked his brow, "Eh, Max, I don't think that'll fit me."

"Not yet, but I think if I can find a way to shrink them down to fit you."

"Oh, how?"

"If you wash clothes in warm water they can shrink, if I do it enough with these then maybe they'll be able to fit you."

He shrugged, "Couldn't hurt to try I guess."

"Perfect," she smiled, "I'll go ahead and put these in the wash and then I'll get supper."

He nodded before turning back to the guns he had made, they were all finished and were triple checked to make sure that they were safe, well, safe enough to sell. He then turned his gaze back to Max, a small smile forming on his face as he watched her, maybe he could have a domestic life after all.

God & His Priests & His Kings V2: Chapter 2 - A FFXV OC Fanfic

I’m rewriting this fic almost 3 years after I finished it since new ideas and plot bunnies have hit so here’s hoping I can stick with the series and see it through this time around. Sequel to How Rare & Beautiful.

Previous Chapter

Gesture of Resistance - Scarlet Heart Ryeo

I was among the beautiful trees in Tenebrae once again, the dreamscape mimicking my memories from seven years ago. I hummed quietly as I wove my way between the massive trees, letting the dreamscape lead me to where I was needed. Standing between two trees was the one who called me, a familiar woman dressed in white as the moonlight made her blonde hair appear almost silver.

I approached her with a warm smile, accepting her hand when I came to stand at her side.

"Luna, it has been so long since we last spoke." I said joyfully, squeezing her hand gently as I greeted her.

"And the fault for that is mine, dear one. The empire's grip on Tenebrae is suffocating and these days, it is a trial to simply perform my duties as Oracle. Can you forgive me for my silence?" the woman pleaded, her pale blue eyes searching for forgiveness.

"There is nothing to forgive as the fault doesn't lie with you. You needed rest more than you needed to speak with me, Luna." I assured the former princess, guiding her towards a bench that appeared at the edge of the forest.

"Of course, Soo. Thank you." the blonde woman shifted, making herself comfortable on the bench, "I take it that Goryeo has treated you well, as you are appearing as a growing woman rather than the appearance of your soul."

I looked down at myself, completely unaware that I had taken on the appearance of my living body, draped in silks and the light linens of my people rather than the bloodied school uniform I had died in.

"I guess I'm more comfortable in my skin now than before. You look like your mother just….sadder." I observed, noticing faint frown lines on her face despite her young age of nineteen.

"My wellbeing is nothing for you to worry yourself over. Nifelheim cannot hurt me for fear of angering the people. I am the Oracle, and without an heir to pass my duties onto, I am as safe from the empire as I can be." the former princess assured me gently before turning her gaze to me, "You however may not be. Ravus has entered Nifelheim's military and returns to the manor run ragged, meaning that the empire is planning an assault."

"There are few targets that remain free from the empire's grasp—Accordo is no longer a target as they publicly declared their neutrality; the empire has been at a standstill against Lucis for some years now, few territories outside Insomnia remain in freedom." I observed, thinking carefully about the whispers that had come into port with the travelling merchants.

"All that remains unconquered outside of Lucis is Galahd, and Goryeo. Despite your kingdom's unspoken neutrality, your council of princesses remain a threat to the empire due to the kingdom's history of peace and allegiance with the past kings of Lucis. If called upon, your people would most likely side with King Regis out of duty, if not out of honour." Luna continued, her fingers fretting at the hem of her dress.

"Where do you think the empire will strike first?" I questioned, looking up at the starlit sky through the trees as if searching them for answers.

"Galahd, I believe. Unlike Goryeo, they have no army lying in wait for a call to arms. It would be considered an easy victory before moving onto Goryeo." I felt guilty about the relief that washed over me at hearing that Galahd was the first target, but it gave me that much more time to convince the council to begin preparing the soldiers and people.

"Thank you for telling me this, Luna. I know you're busy enough with your duties as Oracle." I said quietly, looking to the blonde woman beside me.

"There is no need to thank me, we are both agents of the Astrals, meant to guide the Chosen King. You can't guide him if you fall to the empire." Luna assured me, her hand resting on my shoulder and squeezing it gently. I smiled in response before looking up at the sky as dawn slowly began to colour the sky.

"You should probably get some actual rest, Luna. I know coming to the dreamscape leaves you drained." I told the blonde, looking back to meet her blue gaze.

"Of course. It was good speaking with you again, Soo-Min." she said in farewell, a sad smile resting on her face.

"Go get some rest, princess. You need your beauty sleep." I replied, making a shooing motion with my hands. Luna laughed quietly before fading out of the dreamscape, leaving me to wander until I awoke.

*BREAK*

Fingers slowly traced their way up the curve of my body as the dawn's light woke me from my slumber. I hummed quietly, offering a sleepy good morning to Orion as his lips gently brushed my cheek before he slipped out from under the blankets.

I slowly pushed myself up into a sitting position, holding the blanket to my chest while I watched Orion dress in the morning light. I propped my head up on my knees, smiling lightly as I admired his figure, my gaze filled with fondness as he grinned cockily upon noticing my eyes focusing on him.

"I'll see you in a few days, jagiya. The boss is wanting to bring in a large haul, so we're going to be out at sea for a while." Orion told me as he sat on the bedding in front of me, pulling on his worn leather boots.

"Be careful out there." I murmured quietly, allowing him to steal a quick kiss before leaving.

"I always find my way back to you; don't worry." The older man assured me as he slipped out into the quiet courtyard, closing the rice paper door behind him.

I was left alone in the morning silence, relaxing for a few more moments before I slowly pulled myself from the warm bedding to begin dressing for the day. I gathered the hanbok from the day before and tucked it into the wash bag for the musuri to collect before opening my clothing trunk to select a new one for the day.

Dressing in the plain white underclothes, I proceeded to put up my hair before continuing to dress in the green silks and cotton of my uniform. Brushing a light dusting of powder onto my face, I inspected my exposed skin for any lingering marks left behind by my encounter with Orion. Satisfied that I had no noticeable bite marks or bruising, I slipped my shoes on and quietly departed from my quarters to collect Princess Eun-Byeol's morning meal.

I slipped into the kitchens just in time to see the cooks preparing the princess' food, allowing me enough time to snatch an apple and enjoy it before bustling off to see if the hot water was ready for the morning tea. I eyed the boiling kettle before setting to work, selecting the ingredients for the tea blend.

I hummed lightly as I worked, mixing the dried leaves together and putting them into a small jar to travel to the princess' chambers. I collected the necessary pots and cups before pouring the boiled water into one of the tea pots and transferring everything onto the tray. The morning meal was quickly being placed onto the tray as it came closer to the hour the princess was awoken at, and I was soon carrying it through the palace halls to where the third princess was sure to be awake and readying herself for the day.

I quietly entered the princess' chambers, offering Eun-Byeol a respectful nod as court lady Bo-Ra dressed her in lavish silks of pink and violet. I began to move the food from tray to tabletop, arranging it quickly before starting on the tea.

As I waited for the tea to brew, I watched Bo-Ra do Eun-Byeol's hair in a beautiful style that complimented her youthful face and announced her status as a woman without a consort. Her hair was pulled away from her face, and braided intricately and pinned to the top of her head, while the rest of her hair hung loose down past her waist. Her jewelry was silver, accented by pearls and opals as they decorated her rings and hair pins.

I turned my attention back to the tea, placing a strainer over the top of the teapot that once contained the hot water before pouring the tea into it. I continued to prepare the breakfast, placing it in front of the princess once she had seated herself at the table. Offering her a small bow, I backed away from the table slowly and stood against the wall as she broke her fast.

"Soo-yah, what do I have to attend to today?" Eun-Byeol asked as she lifted the cup of tea to her lips.

I cleared my throat gently before answering, "There is a court session being held in an hour that requires your presence, and you are to survey the conditions of the markets this afternoon."

The elder girl nodded her head slightly, acknowledging my words before finishing her food and tea in silence. As soon as the princess appeared to have finished, I gestured to Bo-Ra to begin clearing the table as Eun-Byeol made her way out of her quarters with me trailing behind her.

The remainder of the princess' handmaidens joined us as we departed from the wing of the palace that contained the living space of the royal families. We headed towards the courtroom, already hearing the hushed mutterings of men and women as they awaited the arrival of the princesses.

Eun-Byeol was the last of the princesses to arrive in the antechamber, nodding her head respectfully to Gyeong-Hui and the second princess, Se-Hyeon, before falling into place behind the elder women while the court ladies congregated behind the princess they served.

A eunuch announced their arrival to the court, the council of princesses sweeping into the room in fluttering silks, the court bowing reverently as they praised their reign and their long life. As the council climbed the stairs to their thrones, the court ladies arranged themselves on the ascending steps according to the hierarchy. I was closest to Eun-Byeol as her main court lady, my mother smiling lightly at me as she stood among Se-Hyeon's ladies.

The head eunuch stepped forward, bearing a scroll with the itinerary for the day's court proceedings.

"Today the council of princesses will be hearing the cases of a marriage proposal between the clans Kwon and Byun, a trade proposal from lady Baek A-Reum on behalf of Baek Song-Ki, and the territorial conflict between the minor clans of Park and Min." Gyeong-Hui smiled warmly at the court gesturing for the first case to step forward.

The clan representatives the Kwon and Byuns approached from the group of politicians and clan heads, making their way to the foot of the dias. I slowly began to tune out their petition for the union of two of their clan members, focusing on those who filled the courtroom. The various individuals were either respectfully listening to the case being posed at the moment or allowing their minds to wander until it was their turn to speak.

A commotion at the back of the hall caught my eye, the eunuchs were fluttering around nervously and appeared to be in a panic. One of them skirted the edge of the hall and whispered quickly into the head eunuch's ear before silently rushing back into the antechamber.

As the clan representatives finished their speeches, the princesses looked to each other before Gyeong-Hui began to speak.

"The council of Princesses grants permission for this most honourable union between the clans Kwon and Byun to occur. You may seek out the royal astrologist to have a wedding day decided upon. We wish your clan members a happy and blessed union." she offered, nodding her head as the representatives bowed in thanks and respectfully began to move away from the stairs.

The head eunuch cleared his throat, gaining the attention of the princesses and the rest of the court.

"Your highnesses, an embassy from Nifelheim has arrived and is seeking an audience with you." the head eunuch called out with a slight tremble to his voice, clearly unsettled by the suddenness of the situation.

The court erupted into hushed whispers, the second and third princesses shifting at the mention of the empire. Gyeong-Hui's eyes merely narrowed, her hands gripping the arms of her throne a bit tighter than before. She glanced between Se-Hyeon and Eun-Byeol before nodding to eunuch grimly.

"Very well, let him in then." she announced, a silence falling over the court as tension filled the hall.

A figure strode in from the antechamber, heavily cloaked despite the warm climate of the island kingdom. A heavy silence weighed upon the hall, a chill creeping up my spine as the stranger drew closer. Coming to a halt at the foot of the stairs, the man gave a swepting bow, removing his hat almost mockingly.

"Greetings to the fair princesses of Goryeo, and their many clans." the stranger called out in a eccentric drawl, smirking lightly at the three princesses seated before him, "Allow me to introduce myself, Chancellor Ardyn Izunia, embassy of Nifelheim to your fair city."

Gyeong-Hui narrowed her gaze slightly, staring down at the man before her.

"Welcome, Chancellor Izunia. Forgive our surprise, we were unaware of your arrival or impending visit to our court." the first princess offered frostily, her black eyes staring into those of the chancellor's.

"There is nothing to forgive, your highnesses. The Emperor would have sent word but it was simply easier for me to deliver the offer to you myself." the chancellor replied, putting on a faint smile that served to put me on further edge.

"And what is Nifelheim's offer, Chancellor? The council is willing to hear your proposal." Se-Hyeon said, leaning forward slightly as she watched Izunia slowly move up the stairs.

"It has come to the empire's attention that Goryeo has remained impartial for the entirety of the war, a decision which the Emperor deeply respects. He would like to extend a formal offer of peace to your fair city." my eyes narrowed further the closer Izunia came to the princesses, the tension in the hall weighing heavily on us all.

"What would the terms of this peace be?" Eun-Byeol questioned, her hands worrying the sleeve of her ruqun.

"My dear princess, the empire offers peace through the unification of royal lines." the chancellor said as he came to a stop on the step below me, "The empire proposes the marriage of the third princess Eun-Byeol to Ravus Nox Fleuret, the former prince of Tenebrae, as a symbol of peace."

The court immediately erupted into whispers, the princesses staring at the man in shock as they tried to process this offer. Gyeong-Hui raised her hand swiftly, silencing the murmurs of politicians and other court members.

"That is a generous offer, Chancellor. However, the empire appears to unaware of our customs in regards to marrying outside of Goryeo." the first princess announces, staring the foreign man in the eye, "If we were to consent to this marriage, third princess Eun-Byeol would be forced to abdicate from her position on the council and leave for Tenebrae, where she would remain with her husband until one of them perishes, bereft of clan and title. One without Goryean blood cannot reside within our lands, making your offer of peace through marriage unbeneficial to both monarchies."

Izunia hummed lightly, "Well, that does put the relationship of our countries in a difficult position, your highnesses."

"We are willing to continue remaining impartial to the ongoing war between Lucis and Nifelheim despite this, Chancellor. We have no quarrel with the empire or its ruler." Eun-Byeol offered calmly despite just receiving a marriage proposal mere seconds ago.

"Of course, your highnesses. The emperor will be glad to hear of your country's continued cooperation without a formal peace negotiated. Now if you will excuse me, it is a long journey back to Gralea, and I must head back with haste. Your highnesses." the chancellor said with a flourishing bow, removing his hat once more.

"We wish you a safe return, Chancellor Izunia. May the Tide Mother grant you safe passage." Gyeong-Hui offered, the other princesses nodding in agreement as they sent off the chancellor.

The man left in silence, the only noise that broke it was the creaking of the great oak doors closing behind him. The princesses looked between each other before Gyeong-Hui rose from her throne gracefully.

"Court has been adjourned for the day. All matters that have not been addressed will be during tomorrow morning's assembly. Thank you for your time." the first princess announced before descending the stairs with her ladies.

I stood and waited for Eun-Byeol to make her way down, my mind churning over the imperial chancellor's visit and the omen it brought.

    Stan da Man here for litupsneakers.com, s over the last year and a half we’ve had a multitude of EZ 350 V two colorways drop it almost to a point of people getting tired of Yeezy releases which I never thought would happen the Yeezy 350 v2 is by far the most prolific easy to ever drop meaning that it’s dropped many more times than any other years of silhouette other than colorway changes and slight alterations to the heel tab the shoe is remained largely the same as when it first released based on images released by Kanye himself and also the fact that we’re getting a brand new ez 350 v2 released this weekend I don’t think the 350 v2 is gonna stop anytime soon this butter colorway is the next colorway to drop and no that is not a nickname that is the official name of the sneaker from adidas I think it’s obvious by this point that the hype on the EZ line is finally starting to die down so that begs the question can the butter color weigh a big easy 350 V to reignite some of the Yeezy fans what passion let’s find out what’s up everybody I’m Seth Fowler and today I’m reviewing the upcoming adidas Yeezy 350 v2 in the butter colorway first off I want to give a huge shout out to my friend Edwin for helping me grab this pair of sneakers early you guys have seen him in my blogs before he’s a fellow sneaker articler his channel is the son of some man so do me a favor and as a thank you for him helping me get this review out early make sure to sub to his channel I’ve left a link to it in the description below but getting back to the sneaker itself kanya has come out and said that he wants us to be more of a minimalist easy 350 he wants it to try and fit into this sort of minimalist lifestyle aesthetic that he’s trying to create it’s definitely an interesting concept and it sort of reminds me of the aesthetic of Japanese brands like Muji minimalist aesthetic when it comes to fashion design means basic color tones gender-neutral design and basically no patterns at all as simple and clean as possible eliminating any unnecessary details when comparing this colorway to other Yeezy 350 s you can definitely get that vibe because there’s essentially only two colors on the shoe whether I like these colors or not it’s kind of a different story so without further ado let’s jump right into a more detailed review of the adidas Yeezy 350 v2 in the butter colorway  jumping right into the upper of the sneaker even though the colorway and the pattern of the upper has changed the materials have not the upper of the ez 350 v2 is still made up of two separate pieces of primeknit sewn together down the middle the thickness and the texture of the prime minute all from previous models around most of the upper you’ve still got that rough primeknit texture except where the stripes are on the lateral side which even though you can’t see them because they’re the same color as the rest of the upper they’re still there and the way you can tell is that the knit actually gets a little bit finer and a little bit smoother in fact you can even see the line down the middle that separates the two stripes and if you look closely at an angle you can actually see the SPL y 350 still stitch into the upper of the shoe it’s just an ever so slight raised texture just like the cream 350 v2 that released a little while back there are no color variations anywhere on the primeknit upper like I said before minimal aesthetic one thing I was really surprised by when I got this shoe in hand is how different it looks from the pictures that are online I thought it was gonna be sort of a light tan cream colorway but when you get it in hand it’s like really light highlighter yellow and that I’ve got to be honest was a little disappointing this is not exactly a colorway that I find easy to rock in fact I sort of find myself in the same situation that I found myself in with the supermoon yellows I don’t really have anything I can wear with this and because of that I have to make this sort of a pop piece so I either have to wear this with basically no other colors so I’ll wear like black jeans and like a white shirt or I have to find something that has this shade of yellow in it and I’ve got to be honest that’s not easy to do from a distance the stitching down the center looks like it’s the same shade of yellow as the rest of the upper however when you get close you see that it’s more of a glossy white color to finish moreso than the color creates a slight bit of contrast on the upper which isn’t a bad look as you continue up the shoe you find your solid color rope laces weaving through the primeknit upper they also come and highlight or yellow in fact there are a darker shade of highlighter yellow than the rest of the upper so they stand out a bit more again not exactly my taste not sure what I’m gonna wear this with but it doesn’t look bad if you just look at the shoe by itself I am pretty disappointed this is a highlighter yellow and not sort of a cream color it’s just I don’t know I am really excited about the upcoming sesame colorway though I feel like that’s closer to the color on the outsole and will definitely be easier to rock continuing up the shoe around the top of the ankle area you’ve got this piece of fabric sewn around the top of the ankle and sort of a more and shade of yellow which I actually prefer to the rest of the upper moving inside the sneaker on the back of the padded sock liner you’ve got your adidas three stripes in 3m and then of course rounding off the inside of the shoe you’ve got your standard ez 350 v2 insole with the adidas branding and the EZ branding if you were wondering the insole also comes in butter yellow as for fit the EZ 350 v2 butter fits just like any other recent ez 350 v2 for me it’s true to size for you it might be something different if you’ve never worn a pair before I definitely suggest trying a pair on which shouldn’t be too hard now because there’s so many 350 b2 s floating around however if you don’t have that opportunity you should be good going true to size continuing around to the back of the shoe you’ve got your standard Yeezy 350 v tube pull tab this is like the only feature that they changed on the EZ 350 b2 some pairs have them some pairs don’t all the recent pairs do but I definitely see how it’s a little redundant because when you’re pulling on the shoe I usually use this tab and not so much this I think this is purely aesthetic but I’m not mad at it because they usually use it as a design detail to provide a little bit more contrast on this colorway I don’t love it they actually match it to the color of the laces which is that highlighter yellow that I don’t love it just stands out to me a little bit too much even though the upper is yes a highlighter yellow it still has some sort of earthy tones to it but this is just like a bright hit of neon but at the end of the day it is what it is continuing down the shoe you get to the signature ribs easy 350 v2 outsole this time around it comes in a semi translucent cream or butter color you can definitely see the boost through it but it doesn’t seem as translucent as previous colorways to be fair though it could just be that it’s a light color on the back of the shoe with Dida’s has decided to keep this weird design detail that they have and all their previous pairs of 350 v2 s and that of course is having the different color rubber outsole wrapping up onto the midsole which is weird I’ve never liked this detail it always looks weird it’s not centered it just doesn’t seem to make sense to me I don’t get it like the ribs don’t even line up it just it just doesn’t make sense whatever it’s not something I can change it looks like a mistake but it’s not something I can change and while we’re talking about the outsole on the bottom of the sneaker you’ve got this sort of light gum or sort of brownish cream translucent rubber I actually don’t mind this color at all in fact I think this is my favorite color on the sneaker if the entire shoe had been this color I really would have preferred that because this sort of brown is more earthy and it’s easier to pair with different outfits like I’ve said before this highlighter yellow not easy to rock not a bad color of course as we’ve come to expect from the Yeezy 350 v2 you’ve got a full length boost midsole which you can see through the bottom of the sneaker that makes the ride of the sneaker incredibly comfortable and when it’s paired with this pretty soft and pretty breathable prime the upper overall it’s a very comfortable sneaker but ER Yeezy 350 v2 is a great sneaker but I just don’t think it does enough to revive the initial hype of the EZ line the colorway itself isn’t bad I do love that it got rid of all the crazy patterns on the upper of the shoe those are my least favorite parts I know Kanye and Adidas are planning to release a whole line of monochromatic ez 350 v2 s which I’m actually pretty excited for I think the shape of the silhouette itself is attractive enough and it doesn’t need any of that sort of extraneous text or patterns or anything like that again this colorway is not exactly my thing I definitely prefer the sesame colorway that’s coming out in a couple months this colorway isn’t bad though and the good news is if you’re trying to copy it’s not too crazy limited if you’re really trying to grab a pair enter a few raffles stand in line and you should be good to go if you’re unlucky and you aren’t able to grab a pair on release day resale isn’t gonna be bad at all so you should be fine grabbing a pair that way as well the adidas Yeezy 350 v2 butter colorway releases on Saturday June 30th for 220 bucks but that about wraps up the article for today I’d love to know your thoughts on the butter colorway of the 350 v2 and whether this excites you about the EZ line again or if this is just another Yeezy drop for you so make sure to leave those comments in the comment section down below

actually gets a little bit finer and a little bit smoother in fact you can even see the line down the middle that separates the two stripes and if you look closely at an angle you can actually see the SPL y 350 still stitch into the upper of the shoe it’s just an ever so slight raised texture just like the cream 350 v2 that released a little while back there are no color variations anywhere on the primeknit upper like I said before minimal aesthetic one thing I was really surprised by when I got this shoe in hand is how different it looks from the pictures that are online I thought it was gonna be sort of a light tan cream colorway but when you get it in hand it’s like really light highlighter yellow and that I’ve got to be honest was a little disappointing this is not exactly a colorway that I find easy to rock in fact I sort of find myself in the same situation that I found myself in with the supermoon yellows I don’t really have anything I can wear with this and because of that I have to make this sort of a pop piece so I either have to wear this with basically no other colors so I’ll wear like black jeans and like a white shirt or I have to find something that has this shade of yellow in it and I’ve got to be honest that’s not easy to do from a distance the stitching down the center looks like it’s the same shade of yellow as the rest of the upper however when you get close you see that it’s more of a glossy white color to finish moreso than the color creates a slight bit of contrast on the upper which isn’t a bad look as you continue up the shoe you find your solid color rope laces weaving through the primeknit upper they also come and highlight or yellow in fact there are a darker shade of highlighter yellow than the rest of the upper so they stand out a bit more again not exactly my taste not sure what I’m gonna wear this with but it doesn’t look bad if you just look at the shoe by itself I am pretty disappointed this is a highlighter yellow and not sort of a cream color it’s just I don’t know I am really excited about the upcoming sesame colorway though I feel like that’s closer to the color on the outsole and will definitely be easier to rock continuing up the shoe around the top of the ankle area you’ve got this piece of fabric sewn around the top of the ankle and sort of a more and shade of yellow which I actually prefer to the rest of the upper moving inside the sneaker on the back of the padded sock liner you’ve got your adidas three stripes in 3m and then of course rounding off the inside of the shoe you’ve got your standard ez 350 v2 insole with the adidas branding and the EZ branding if you were wondering the insole also comes in butter yellow as for fit the EZ 350 v2 butter fits just like any other recent ez 350 v2 for me it’s true to size for you it might be something different if you’ve never worn a pair before I definitely suggest trying a pair on which shouldn’t be too hard now because there’s so many 350 b2 s floating around however if you don’t have that opportunity you should be good going true to size continuing around to the back of the shoe you’ve got your standard Yeezy 350 v tube pull tab this is like the only feature that they changed on the EZ 350 b2 some pairs have them some pairs don’t all the recent pairs do but I definitely see how it’s a little redundant because when you’re pulling on the shoe I usually use this tab and not so much this I think this is purely aesthetic but I’m not mad at it because they usually use it as a design detail to provide a little bit more contrast on this colorway I don’t love it they actually match it to the color of the laces which is that highlighter yellow that I don’t love it just stands out to me a little bit too much even though the upper is yes a highlighter yellow it still has some sort of earthy tones to it but this is just like a bright hit of neon but at the end of the day it is what it is continuing down the shoe you get to the signature ribs easy 350 v2 outsole this time around it comes in a semi translucent cream or butter color you can definitely see the boost through it but it doesn’t seem as translucent as previous colorways to be fair though it could just be that it’s a light color on the back of the shoe with Dida’s has decided to keep this weird design detail that they have and all their previous pairs of 350 v2 s and that of course is having the different color rubber outsole wrapping up onto the midsole which is weird I’ve never liked this detail it always looks weird it’s not centered it just doesn’t seem to make sense to me I don’t get it like the ribs don’t even line up it just it just doesn’t make sense whatever it’s not something I can change it looks like a mistake but it’s not something I can change and while we’re talking about the outsole on the bottom of the sneaker you’ve got this sort of light gum or sort of brownish cream translucent rubber I actually don’t mind this color at all in fact I think this is my favorite color on the sneaker if the entire shoe had been this color I really would have preferred that because this sort of brown is more earthy and it’s easier to pair with different outfits like I’ve said before this highlighter yellow not easy to rock not a bad color of course as we’ve come to expect from the Yeezy 350 v2 you’ve got a full length boost midsole which you can see through the bottom of the sneaker that makes the ride of the sneaker incredibly comfortable and when it’s paired with this pretty soft and pretty breathable prime the upper overall it’s a very comfortable sneaker but ER Yeezy 350 v2 is a great sneaker but I just don’t think it does enough to revive the initial hype of the EZ line the colorway itself isn’t bad I do love that it got rid of all the crazy patterns on the upper of the shoe those are my least favorite parts I know Kanye and Adidas are planning to release a whole line of monochromatic ez 350 v2 s which I’m actually pretty excited for I think the shape of the silhouette itself is attractive enough and it doesn’t need any of that sort of extraneous text or patterns or anything like that again this colorway is not exactly my thing I definitely prefer the sesame colorway that’s coming out in a couple months this colorway isn’t bad though and the good news is if you’re trying to copy it’s not too crazy limited if you’re really trying to grab a pair enter a few raffles stand in line and you should be good to go if you’re unlucky and you aren’t able to grab a pair on release day resale isn’t gonna be bad at all so you should be fine grabbing a pair that way as well the adidas Yeezy 350 v2 butter colorway releases on Saturday June 30th for 220 bucks but that about wraps up the article for today I’d love to know your thoughts on the butter colorway of the 350 v2 and whether this excites you about the EZ line again or if this is just another Yeezy drop for you so make sure to leave those

    Stan da Man here for litupsneakers.com, s over the last year and a half we’ve had a multitude of EZ 350 V two colorways drop it almost to a point of people getting tired of Yeezy releases which I never thought would happen the Yeezy 350 v2 is by far the most prolific easy to ever drop meaning that it’s dropped many more times than any other years of silhouette other than colorway changes and slight alterations to the heel tab the shoe is remained largely the same as when it first released based on images released by Kanye himself and also the fact that we’re getting a brand new ez 350 v2 released this weekend I don’t think the 350 v2 is gonna stop anytime soon this butter colorway is the next colorway to drop and no that is not a nickname that is the official name of the sneaker from adidas I think it’s obvious by this point that the hype on the EZ line is finally starting to die down so that begs the question can the butter color weigh a big easy 350 V to reignite some of the Yeezy fans what passion let’s find out what’s up everybody I’m Seth Fowler and today I’m reviewing the upcoming adidas Yeezy 350 v2 in the butter colorway first off I want to give a huge shout out to my friend Edwin for helping me grab this pair of sneakers early you guys have seen him in my blogs before he’s a fellow sneaker articler his channel is the son of some man so do me a favor and as a thank you for him helping me get this review out early make sure to sub to his channel I’ve left a link to it in the description below but getting back to the sneaker itself kanya has come out and said that he wants us to be more of a minimalist easy 350 he wants it to try and fit into this sort of minimalist lifestyle aesthetic that he’s trying to create it’s definitely an interesting concept and it sort of reminds me of the aesthetic of Japanese brands like Muji minimalist aesthetic when it comes to fashion design means basic color tones gender-neutral design and basically no patterns at all as simple and clean as possible eliminating any unnecessary details when comparing this colorway to other Yeezy 350 s you can definitely get that vibe because there’s essentially only two colors on the shoe whether I like these colors or not it’s kind of a different story so without further ado let’s jump right into a more detailed review of the adidas Yeezy 350 v2 in the butter colorway  jumping right into the upper of the sneaker even though the colorway and the pattern of the upper has changed the materials have not the upper of the ez 350 v2 is still made up of two separate pieces of primeknit sewn together down the middle the thickness and the texture of the prime minute all from previous models around most of the upper you’ve still got that rough primeknit texture except where the stripes are on the lateral side which even though you can’t see them because they’re the same color as the rest of the upper they’re still there and the way you can tell is that the knit

that I find easy to rock in fact I sort of find myself in the same situation that I found myself in with the supermoon yellows I don’t really have anything I can wear with this and because of that I have to make this sort of a pop piece so I either have to wear this with basically no other colors so I’ll wear like black jeans and like a white shirt or I have to find something that has this shade of yellow in it and I’ve got to be honest that’s not easy to do from a distance the stitching down the center looks like it’s the same shade of yellow as the rest of the upper however when you get close you see that it’s more of a glossy white color to finish moreso than the color creates a slight bit of contrast on the upper which isn’t a bad look as you continue up the shoe you find your solid color rope laces weaving through the primeknit upper they also come and highlight or yellow in fact there are a darker shade of highlighter yellow than the rest of the upper so they stand out a bit more again not exactly my taste not sure what I’m gonna wear this with but it doesn’t look bad if you just look at the shoe by itself I am pretty disappointed this is a highlighter yellow and not sort of a cream color it’s just I don’t know I am really excited about the upcoming sesame colorway though I feel like that’s closer to the color on the outsole and will definitely be easier to rock continuing up the shoe around the top of the ankle area you’ve got this piece of fabric sewn around the top of the ankle and sort of a more and shade of yellow which I actually prefer to the rest of the upper moving inside the sneaker on the back of the padded sock liner you’ve got your adidas three stripes in 3m and then of course rounding off the inside of the shoe you’ve got your standard ez 350 v2 insole with the adidas branding and the EZ branding if you were wondering the insole also comes in butter yellow as for fit the EZ 350 v2 butter fits just like any other recent ez 350 v2 for me it’s true to size for you it might be something different if you’ve never worn a pair before I definitely suggest trying a pair on which shouldn’t be too hard now because there’s so many 350 b2 s floating around however if you don’t have that opportunity you should be good going true to size continuing around to the back of the shoe you’ve got your standard Yeezy 350 v tube pull tab this is like the only feature that they changed on the EZ 350 b2 some pairs have them some pairs don’t all the recent pairs do but I definitely see how it’s a little redundant because when you’re pulling on the shoe I usually use this tab and not so much this I think this is purely aesthetic but I’m not mad at it because they usually use it as a design detail to provide a little bit more contrast on this colorway I don’t love it they actually match it to the color of the laces which is that highlighter yellow that I don’t love it just stands out to me a little bit too much even though the upper is yes a highlighter yellow it still has some sort of earthy tones to it but this is just like a bright hit of neon but at the end of the day it is what it is continuing down the shoe you get to the signature ribs easy 350 v2 outsole this time around it comes in a semi translucent cream or butter color you can definitely see the boost through it but it doesn’t seem as translucent as previous colorways to be fair though it could just be that it’s a light color on the back of the shoe with Dida’s has decided to keep this weird design detail that they have and all their previous pairs of 350 v2 s and that of course is having the different color rubber outsole wrapping up onto the midsole which is weird I’ve never liked this detail it always looks weird it’s not centered it just doesn’t seem to make sense to me I don’t get it like the ribs don’t even line up it just it just doesn’t make sense whatever it’s not something I can change it looks like a mistake but it’s not something I can change and while we’re talking about the outsole on the bottom of the sneaker you’ve got this sort of light gum or sort of brownish cream translucent rubber I actually don’t mind this color at all in fact I think this is my favorite color on the sneaker if the entire shoe had been this color I really would have preferred that because this sort of brown is more earthy and it’s easier to pair with different outfits like I’ve said before this highlighter yellow not easy to rock not a bad color of course as we’ve come to expect from the Yeezy 350 v2 you’ve got a full length boost midsole which you can see through the bottom of the sneaker that makes the ride of the sneaker incredibly comfortable and when it’s paired with this pretty soft and pretty breathable prime the upper overall it’s a very comfortable sneaker but ER Yeezy 350 v2 is a great sneaker but I just don’t think it does enough to revive the initial hype of the EZ line the colorway itself isn’t bad I do love that it got rid of all the crazy patterns on the upper of the shoe those are my least favorite parts I know Kanye and Adidas are planning to release a whole line of monochromatic ez 350 v2 s which I’m actually pretty excited for I think the shape of the silhouette itself is attractive enough and it doesn’t need any of that sort of extraneous text or patterns or anything like that again this colorway is not exactly my thing I definitely prefer the sesame colorway that’s coming out in a couple months this colorway isn’t bad though and the good news is if you’re trying to copy it’s not too crazy limited if you’re really trying to grab a pair enter a few raffles stand in line and you should be good to go if you’re unlucky and you aren’t able to grab a pair on release day resale isn’t gonna be bad at all so you should be fine grabbing a pair that way as well the adidas Yeezy 350 v2 butter colorway releases on Saturday June 30th for 220 bucks but that about wraps up the article for today I’d love to know your thoughts on the butter colorway of the 350 v2 and whether this excites you about the EZ line again or if this is just another Yeezy drop for you so make sure to leave those

    Stan da Man here for litupsneakers.com, s over the last year and a half we’ve had a multitude of EZ 350 V two colorways drop it almost to a point of people getting tired of Yeezy releases which I never thought would happen the Yeezy 350 v2 is by far the most prolific easy to ever drop meaning that it’s dropped many more times than any other years of silhouette other than colorway changes and slight alterations to the heel tab the shoe is remained largely the same as when it first released based on images released by Kanye himself and also the fact that we’re getting a brand new ez 350 v2 released this weekend I don’t think the 350 v2 is gonna stop anytime soon this butter colorway is the next colorway to drop and no that is not a nickname that is the official name of the sneaker from adidas I think it’s obvious by this point that the hype on the EZ line is finally starting to die down so that begs the question can the butter color weigh a big easy 350 V to reignite some of the Yeezy fans what passion let’s find out what’s up everybody I’m Seth Fowler and today I’m reviewing the upcoming adidas Yeezy 350 v2 in the butter colorway first off I want to give a huge shout out to my friend Edwin for helping me grab this pair of sneakers early you guys have seen him in my blogs before he’s a fellow sneaker articler his channel is the son of some man so do me a favor and as a thank you for him helping me get this review out early make sure to sub to his channel I’ve left a link to it in the description below but getting back to the sneaker itself kanya has come out and said that he wants us to be more of a minimalist easy 350 he wants it to try and fit into this sort of minimalist lifestyle aesthetic that he’s trying to create it’s definitely an interesting concept and it sort of reminds me of the aesthetic of Japanese brands like Muji minimalist aesthetic when it comes to fashion design means basic color tones gender-neutral design and basically no patterns at all as simple and clean as possible eliminating any unnecessary details when comparing this colorway to other Yeezy 350 s you can definitely get that vibe because there’s essentially only two colors on the shoe whether I like these colors or not it’s kind of a different story so without further ado let’s jump right into a more detailed review of the adidas Yeezy 350 v2 in the butter colorway  jumping right into the upper of the sneaker even though the colorway and the pattern of the upper has changed the materials have not the upper of the ez 350 v2 is still made up of two separate pieces of primeknit sewn together down the middle the thickness and the texture of the prime minute all from previous models around most of the upper you’ve still got that rough primeknit texture except where the stripes are on the lateral side which even though you can’t see them because they’re the same color as the rest of the upper they’re still there and the way you can tell is that the knit actually gets a little bit finer and a little bit smoother in fact you can even see the line down the middle that separates the two stripes and if you look closely at an angle you can actually see the SPL y 350 still stitch into the upper of the shoe it’s just an ever so slight raised texture just like the cream 350 v2 that released a little while back there are no color variations anywhere on the primeknit upper like I said before minimal aesthetic one thing I was really surprised by when I got this shoe in hand is how different it looks from the pictures that are online I thought it was gonna be sort of a light tan cream colorway but when you get it in hand it’s like really light highlighter yellow and that I’ve got to be honest was a little disappointing this is not exactly a colorway
