wtf is going on with ITZY? (an essay)
Itzy has had an… interesting year. They’ve released five singles and two mini albums this year, including two japanese singles - and yet they have somehow made very little (good) impact on the industry at large. ‘Sneakers’ and the ‘Checkmate’ album  was arguably their most talked about comeback this year, but it was almost unanimously hated to the point of exhaustion. Itzy’s second Korean comeback, ‘Cheshire’ was met with marginally less hatred than its predecessor, but along with their two Japanese singles - ‘Voltage’ and ‘Blah Blah Blah’, they slipped under the waves within days of their release.
Tumblr media
But how the hell did we get here? Three years ago it was itzy’s world - they were JYP Entertainment’s newest girl group after Twice, and marked the shift between 3rd generation kpop to 4th generation. Arguably, Itzy set the tone for what 4th gen girl groups would be, and their comebacks were events. Their debut, ‘Dalla Dalla’ was a smash hit, and was the perfect balance between controversial and addictive in its sound that it got people talking about them, and brought in an immediate fanbase. ‘Icy’ continued their legacy, but it was ‘Wannabe’ that broke the ceiling. ‘Wannabe’ ruled 2019, and it was Itzy at their best. The hip dance, the chorus, the love yourself theme, the aesthetics, RYUJIN, this was everything Itzy was amazing at, and it handed them the coveted ‘4th gen leaders’ title on a silver platter.
Tumblr media
Some people argue Itzy fell off around the ‘Not Shy’ era, but I would have to disagree - while it did fail to top the legacy of ‘Wannabe’, it was still a very successful comeback. However, ‘Not Shy’ was the first Itzy single to stray from their self-love concept, and while some were excited for Itzy to explore new territory, others were frustrated that Itzy was ‘abandoning’ what made them stand out in the industry. With Itzy’s next comeback, ‘Mafia In the morning’, the frustration boiled over into anger. Gone were the rainbow concept of releases past, and here were Itzy, clad in black leather, performing to a song that could only be described as… girl crush. I loved this comeback, and its album is one of my favourites from them, but many midzys were pissed. Had Itzy completely forgotten themselves? It remained a successful comeback, but the unrest in the fandom was growing. JYP Entertainment decided to take a step back, regroup and come back again when everyone is good and ready.
Tumblr media
And so, five months later,  we were given ‘Loco’ and Itzy’s 1st full length album, ‘Crazy In Love’. ‘Loco’ was a return to Itzy’s roots - the music video was colourful and chaotic and insane, the chorus dance heavily featured the groups iconic crown choreography, and the production was maximalistic and full of personality. But still, many fans remained frustrated. For some, the song just wasn’t sticking like ‘Dalla Dalla’ or ‘Wannabe’, and with SM’s latest girl group, aespa, dominating 2021 with their highly talked about comeback ‘Next Level’, it appeared Itzy’s crown was slipping.
Tumblr media
But let's talk about another group that entered the scene shortly after - JYP’s next girl group, NMIXX. NMXX’s ‘O.O’ was one of the most controversial releases of the year - maybe of all time. It was criticised for its structure being a ‘worse knockoff’ of the aforementioned ‘Next Level’ by aespa, and for sounding like two songs rolled into won. But the talent in this group was undeniable. All seven members were insanely good dancers - something Itzy were noted for too - and INSANELY good singers - something Itzy has often been criticised for not being - and their whole concept was arguably an offshoot of Itzy’s at debut. But JYP debuting NMIXX couldn’t really affect Itzy right? Wrong. ‘Sneakers’ was Itzy’s next comeback, and, as I said before, was unanimously despised - but something else was wrong. The quality of the music video was significantly worse than Loco, and the teaser rollout was a mess. It appeared that JYP had almost forgotten Itzy in the haze of NMIXX’s debut - despite Itzy’s debut significantly outselling them. And with ‘Cheshire’, the quality downgrade was even more obvious. The choreographies had become more lazy and weren’t nearly as complicated as Itzy were once known for, and even the song’s quality had taken a hit. Why wasn’t JYP capitalising on the success of girl groups in 2022? Why was Itzy stumbling when most previous groups were soaring in their 4th active year? And why was Itzy, ITZY, fourth gen leaders Itzy, Twice’s juniors Itzy, taking a backseat to everyone else in the industry?
Tumblr media
I don’t have the answers to these questions, other than pointing the finger at JYP’s consistent incompetence when it comes to managing groups. But what can Itzy do now? If I were their manager, I would say take a break. Itzy has been everywhere and nowhere this year, and with the insane domination and oversaturation of new girl groups like Le Sserafim, New Jeans and IVE, Itzy needs a time when fans are truly starved for something that only they can offer, with their experience and talents. And when that comeback happens, it will have to be a smash hit, up there with their greatest, or Itzy may succumb to irrelevancy. It should have a unique and catchy choreography that’s both difficult and addictive, it should embrace the modern kpop sound that Twice have been exploring, and it should show the industry at large that Itzy are a force to be reckoned with, not a group condemned to be ‘washed up’ on their fourth year in the industry. Can JYP do it? That remains to be seen.

truly you are so smart and correct all the time w the yeji genderisms, like its insane she's so girl boyfriend im obsessed with her... want her want to be her yk how it is
Idk about being smart but thank you so much for seeing the vision with me hagahsh. Like. Sometimes I just sit and really ponder how itzy has both a legendary sapphic of sapphics as well as the living personification of if a man and woman had a baby, in THE SAME group
And not too be too personal and gay on main but god want her wanna be her but never in a gender envy way? I look at her and I just see yknow? Not even because of her specific presentation but just the fact that she's so so confident about it in the way that she is? None of it is even "fanservice", like she literally just dresses and carries herself like that, her most boyfriendism and fishing hat dad outfits are from her own closet.
I'm not saying she's actually genderqueer in any way that's not my business to speculate and it'd be kinda unfair to out kpop artists to hyperfixate on just that to "prove how genuine it is" but man stanning her has really made me understand my own relationship (or sometimes lack thereof) with gender and validated my nonbinary ass desire for mfs to move away from saying that genderTM looks one way cause fuck 😭😭😭 Yeji is so gender 😭😭😭

youtube
I love Mera.
She never fails on a video essay of dissecting the obvious and sounding like a poet blessed by the muses while doing it. And she makes me think, which I find harder and harder to find in youtube videos (...or maybe my class of youtube videos has become stale and needs to be revitalized, idk)
This video in particular, did a brilliant job of laying out Itzy’s image as it’s given to us through it’s music videos, and called me out as writer by showing why we see the members in a certain way due to their music video coding. But more than being stunned that the characters I draw from them to write about, it validated and inspired me, and gave me direction for the personas I had created from their coding palette. It felt like a library archive, some secret wisdom I had stumbled on as a fanfic writer... 
Now. I don’t often stand to disagree with Mera. She’s brilliant at what she does, and I am learning from her every time I watch her videos. She’s much wiser and more educated than I, and it feels like an honor to sit at her feet and listen to her speak. 
...but I feel the need to be in defense of Cheshire.
The core of Mera’s video had been member coding. She took the cinematography and laid out how it presented each member-- a brilliance in the way that Itzy’s core of different and unique and self-confidence stemmed from individuality, and tangibly allowing the audience to feel that with each member. From the costuming, to the camera angles; from the sets to the storylines. The status quo can be rejected, and it doesn’t have to look the same; Ryujin the in-your-face, anti-authoritarian punk; Lia the queen bee, glittering high class in playfulness; Yeji and her feline maturity, aloof and unaffected; Chaeryeong with introverted confidence, girl-next-door, the quiet but no less strong (I... might’ve gotten emotional during this section); Yuna the teenage hero, pop-star-by-night, bubbly, comfortable-in-her-own-skin persona. If I started thinking too hard, I started wondering--
https://twitter.com/redpiper3/status/1610070731932553220?s=20&t=2N_36_XfCJ3X9zGrldQacw
But that’s besides the point.
After Mera properly dissected and laid plain the coding Itzy had debuted with, she laid plain the tracking of this coding through her eras: the debut trilogy cementing their image and personalities as individuals, being vital to their identity as a girl group; the costume era struggling at first and at the tail end, but experimenting with it in new lights, and finding a brilliant visual playground in MITM; and then the shortcomings of the newest era, which floundered in Sneakers, done right in Boys Like You, and seems to break coding in Cheshire, allowing them to seemingly evolve as a group, and take a new direction.
Now, I will not say Sneakers was anything short of a Mess. I remember being glamoured by the costuming and ideas for sets, and then watching on twitter as everyone tried to pin down what exactly JYPe was doing-- a historical concept? Tracking strong independence through the ages and... ending on a sneakers commerical? Was this a branding deal gone bad that they had to rescue?
It feels, after seeing the Cheshire album come out, that something unexpected happened after the ten months of preparation. Their japanese titles were nothing short of brilliant (chef’s kiss at Voltage and Blahx3) but the Checkmate and Cheshire albums were... haphazardly done in planning. I have my suspicions about them feeling like they were supposed to be a full album together... Sneakers would have been a brilliant promoted b-side next to Cheshire: a bright summer song for the group while still maintaining their growth and maturation with Cheshire. Further, their promotional styling being similar before the album release... is suspicious. I have a sneaking suspicion that making Mama 2022 their comeback stage, and having a single release of Boys Like You that played in a different genre and soundscape probably influenced the Checkmate release to be what it was. They needed something before they went on tour, and the Checkmate album-- minus a few gold tracks-- gave them plenty to work with, and prepped the audience enough for Boys Like You. Mera compares Boys Like You to Blackpink’s release of Ice Cream, for trying a different color and taste with the freedom of a western release, and it’s almost for that reason I think the company might have pre-emptively struck with Sneakers-- I’m not into Blackpink and their fanbase, but I think I remember the general reaction of the public being confusion and rejection of Ice Cream due to the strong ongoing themes the group had. And if Sneakers is nothing else, it’s a play with the public. 
Now, I am also going to assume that budgeting works like this-- Sneakers had expensive and shiny sets, and Mama pulled certain budgeting, and between time and money between a world tour and preparing for year end stages, the filming of Cheshire was just between a rock and a hard place. I... am probably wrong, but that’s the kindest assumption I can give to the company :)
So with all that in mind-- Cheshire.
youtube
Mera noted in her video that Cheshire leaned more into the flashy editing and the concept of “true or fake?” and group styling similarities more than their general member specific coding and the usual showing, not telling, of individuality. She thought the group is maturing, evolving, and doing away with their original debut codes to do it, seemingly meshing with the rest of 4th gen girl groups, but still standing out because they’re Itzy, and everyone knows them, and they’re on top of the generation anyway-- all of which I can agree with.
Something could be said about the company sending out feelers whenever they feel their girl groups are getting stagnant in concepts and want to try and mature them... something could be said. We won’t say it here.
I might have been a little too much in love with Cheshire. This is my sin-- the vocal maturity and the subtlties of it, the playing into each members’ vocal strengths, it all just makes me very happy and excited for the group as a whole and where they’re headed. 
And I can’t stop listening to the song. And watching the video-- first time through I felt... underwhelmed? And not I catch something new everytime I watch it, it truly a testament to subtlety and blink-and-you’ll-miss it messaging. The members don’t seem to own any place of their own, interrupting each others’ sequences and shots, until you watch through and follow each thread.
But when it comes to member specific coding, Cheshire seems to take what we know and play deep into it’s roots, and seemingly turn everything on it’s head as it projects us into the future of this group as it matures. Let’s go member by member, and each “cheshire cat” as they present themselves:
Tumblr media
In our game show of discerning lies from reality, Lia has her little corner of comfort, like the princess she is. She’s playing with practical illusions, things that can only be see properly from the correct angle, and she’s playing with facial expressions that make it hard to pin down what her intentions are or how she’s looking at us. There’s something cynical and mean about her from her first scene... darts fall into her set and we’re brought to Yeji’s set.
Later, a piano drops and shatters in the middle of her set (another non-CGI effect) where she tells us she’ll give us a hint and she’s interrupted by MC Yuna, who’s telling us to watch closely. 
We move past the game show into the world of the cheshires-- Lia’s is surpringly calm next to some of the other members, giving a disinterested vibe through a computer shot. 
But the important scenes are the ones we end on, where we revisit the members in their initial solo sets, and Lia is lying on the couch, everything a mess around her, and we dive into her mind through her ear. There’s rubble falling on top-- this is right before the piano had dropped. It seems like it’s going to drop right on top of her!... except we know from the earlier scene-- she isn’t there. Her final set shot is the piano destroyed at her feet, and her looking up from where we’ve been watching.
It’s just a trick. Lia’s played with us. 
Tumblr media
Yeji has one of the more key roles in the plot of the music video, and unlike loco, they aren’t using the grand sets and obvious styling to scream CAT! CAT GIRL! CAT WOMAN! in our faces. 
They use the more subtle web-plucking.
She’s introduced top down on Lia’s set, and she’s throwing darts at a dart board, in a cute little set-up that spells out YOU. She’s hard to pin down, and she’s playing with the audience the entire time. She steps into the middle of Yuna’s curtains pulled back to peek into Chaeryeong’s scene, she’s popping on all sides of the frame in the office scene, and she’s the one who pulls the plug of this operation when the illusion goes way over our heads. You could even say she’s the top down shots looking at Lia-- maybe she dropped the piano herself.
Yeji’s running this operation. 
Out of all the girls, she’s the one who’s directly looking into the character, directly taunting the viewer, deciding when they’ve gone too far into the illusion, when they haven’t looked close enough at one of the girls’ sets, and takes the final bow when all the trickery is finished. She’s in front of the target, twiddling the dart like she could do this all night. She’s the final playful shot before the cat tail teases us, and she’s pulling all the strings.
Tumblr media
Ryujin’s speeding down the freeway in her truck, and nothing’s going to stop her.
...except she isn’t.
She’s the first one to tell us it’s not real, her car parked, stand-still in front of the set, as she rolls the windows up on us. Windows, it can be noted, that are covered in stickers. This car isn’t meant for driving at all, but Ryujin doesn’t care.
Ryujin is the cat that spoils the ending, the first to make us question everything. She’s the second computer screen, who deletes the background and shows us what’s fake and what isn’t in their MC group dance shot-- and it isn’t much! Only the question marks and arrows, that had been CGI-ed to confuse us on what was up and down, had been untrue. Everything else on set had been...
Then we get to her cheshire in the snow, and she’s not playing. She’s got an icy playfulness that’s asking “why so serious?” before Yeji pulls the plugs, and then she’s the one right in the middle of the gameshow, spinning the wheel and making us question every one of the initial solo sets. She knows, and she knows we don’t know. Her final shot is her sitting on top of her car, twirling her hair and smirking at us for trying so hard.
She’s taunting us. And she knows we’ll let her get away with it.
Tumblr media
Yuna’s the hardest cheshire to pin down-- because she shows us her tricks right from the beginning.
She’s the one running the lights, switching us between the game show and the CGI transition to the cheshire snow world. She’s in front of the curtains, and we don’t know what her deal is, except for one unavoidable fact-- she’s moody. She’s either introducing the game show, or morose and haunting. We don’t know whether to be excited or scared at what’s about to happen, we don’t know whether being fooled should terrify us or enchant us. 
And Yuna wants us to remain in that uncomfortable place of not knowing. 
In her cheshire scene, she’s still playing with lights and shadows, and dancing like a teasing cat. It’s a little scary, but she tells us in this way “someone might find their path.” 
When everyone is playing their final trick, she doesn’t offer us a smile, only throws her arm up to present the acts before stalking off and letting us figure it out for ourselves. There are no light switches, nothing to hide or seek, just what’s before our eyes that we still won’t be able to understand. 
In her final scene, she laughs at us, but she’s not our friend. She’s almost looking down on us.
We’re not friends.
Tumblr media
Chaeryeong probably lays it out as obviously as possible in her solo set.
She gets her own room, and not happy: she’s crying, doesn’t want to talk to us, and wants to lie in bed all day. Moving outwards, two members immediately clue us in to know that this isn’t true-- Yeji stands by the curtains pulled back, to show it’s only a set, and Yuna wears identical fake tears to Chaeryeong’s, only to pull them off and show that they’re fake. Chaeryeong even gives us a smile while she wears the fake tears.
Chaeryeong isn’t upset, we’ve just been manipulated into thinking she is. 
As a cheshire, she’s the one who makes us see “true” and “fake” for what it is. She shows a cheery doll can really be something plain and ordinary we’ve been made to believe is something of comfort, and playing catch can seem like a bomb thrown in our face.
Exaggeration and lies. 
She throws her bedsheet up to show she wasn’t even in the room in the first place-- the editing leaving her shadow walking out from behind the falling sheet to let the illusion properly register for us.
In her final scene, she’s having fun jumping on the bed and making a mess of the feathers and pillows, no tears on her face. 
She was actually having fun with it all. On her own.
Tumblr media
Now what does this all have to do with anything? I haven’t proven or disproven anything, I’ve just spelled out what we’ve seen. Let’s draw some parallels--
Lia: preppy and pretty and playful-- check, check, and check. 
Yeji: in command and unaffected and mature -- check and check, and I’ll concede the maturity is a little muddled, but we’ll revisit that in a moment.
Ryujin: anti-authoritarian and punk -- well, you try driving anywhere with stickers all over your window. Or taking over a game show by driving your car right into the middle of it.
Chaeryeong: quiet, introverted but with an inner strength and self-confidence -- check, she certainly wasn’t trying to prove anything to us.
Yuna: teenage hero and bubbly and perfectly made for what she’s doing -- I don’t know if you’ve met a teenager, but they’re angsty as hell.
But she’s not quite the dalla dalla Yuna is she? In fact, scrolling back up, none of these are quite the coding of the girls we debuted with in the debut triology are they?
Now, here is where cinematographic coding and members’ personalities and company advertising could all blur, so I’ll only say this before we stay in the cinematography: I’d like to think JYP gives their groups as much freedom as Stray Kids gets, but you never know. But in a perfect world, Itzy played a hand in their own concept building, and their own very real individualities bled through to build their concept. But if it did or not, Dalla Dalla gave them sets and outfits, fit with colors... and then let them build the scene. The attitudes they brought, the way they commanded presence and attention? Music video building after that worked with the energy they brought to the screen. The confidence, the character, the individuality itself. And the girls have grown a lot in the industry and as individuals since then. These aren’t hot rookies with headlining reputations and everything to prove. These are women who’ve established themselves and been burned in their industry a couple of times.
Subtle maturity is a beautiful thing. 
Yuna is still perfectly made for what she’s doing-- only it isn’t showing all of her bubbliness to you. (Side tangent: stop chasing my girl for every little thing she does. She can say “bless me” and cover Love Dive without being put up against impossible standards, alright?) Being in the industry is playing your character close to your chest, and Yuna is made to be an idol. She’s no longer a teenager, but she’s every young girl you know, and she’s impossible to be, and someone only to look up to with awe. 
Ryujin is still the punk who sticks it in everyone’s faces, but now she’s got a driver’s license. She’s not playing your game, she’s making her own. 
Yeji is still mama cat, she’s still cruella, and she’s still the icon of maturity, targeted for the older age group. But she doesn’t need to prove it anymore-- she’s the oldest who’s taking care of everyone, running the show, and she can have fun while she does it. 
Chaeryeong is the girl-next-door, quietly confident in herself, and throwing the stereotype of what we think introverts are so much in our face, it’s almost as though she knows what we think, and has the confidence to rewrite that trope for everyone. (And I love her for it. Mera’s chapter on her in her video made me so emotional, we need to open the conversation about individuality and confidence and strength in the quieter people, and stop trampling over girls who don’t present the way we expect when we see powerful women.)
And Lia is still our princess. She’s got a more mischievious side that’s flaring more now than it did in Icy, but it’s there nonetheless.
The coding isn’t just in the styling, it’s in the subtleties of the members.
And it’s not the same as debut era, it’s growing.
Mera has another video I adore, where she praises Twice and their femininity. Twice as a group matures and their music evolves and tries to find where to go, but the feminine beauty of it remains the same at it’s core.
I think the same could be said of Itzy. Individuality was something they had to scream when they debuted, but now that they’ve told us who they are, and they settle into who they know they are, they show us the nuances and subtle beauties of individuality. 
Individuality doesn’t pretend to be anything for anyone, it doesn���t have to play all it’s cards on the table and show who it really is, it’s full of joy in it’s maturity, and while it can be fully rebellious in it’s own rights, it can also be full of life from the comforts of home, where knowing who you are and being strong in that is enough.

i stand corrected: itzy has TWO strengths their creative team needs to be utilizing more: dance AND *this* unique brand of concept.
it's hard to see this strength when their concepts have been so lackluster for the past couple comebacks---itzy gets pigeonholed a lot. itzys concept is this or that, or they always stick to the same thing, or this doesnt feel like itzy anymore; people are very attached to itzy as an idea.
~~more itzy thoughts below the cut~~
thats the thing that makes then unique and hard to get a grasp on: their concept is intertwined with them. it's a double-edged sword. on one hand, they have what everyone wants: a memorable brand that people associate with YOUR name. on the other, the requirements are so specific and subjective and it's very easy to fall out of grace if people don't feel like they're seeing YOU anymore.
mafia in the morning was too over-the-top and silly, sneakers wasn't strong enough to be them. cheshire had none of the feeling of itzy, cake felt like it was trying too hard to be itzy again.
but one thing i'll give this phenomenon with itzy is this: people have their eyes on them. people know who they are and whether they have given up or not, they care. because itzy have made a name for themselves and i guess that means they still have the chance to rise up from the ashes or whatever. the kpop industry moves fast enough for public opinion to change again.
but this concept: RINGO... it does what it does with intention and with efficiency!! even without reading the translated lyrics as a non-japanese speaker i got the gist. a sort of "i'm no snow white i'm no princess i control my story" type of message. THIS IS EPIC
with the lush sultry delicious glowing colors and the styling and the dark eye makeup and freshly bitten red lips... the sound of the song and the calls at the end and yuna's rap and the pronounciation in "bring me RRRINGO"
cake was fun, but cake is as i said it was earlier: it felt like they were trying to bring something back. they were trying to revive "old itzy." fun, quirky, young. it was fun! and if i didn't get this feeling that itzy themselves AND their team are trying for something more, i can enjoy it for what it is.
part of the reason it's hard to enjoy itzy's newer releases (even as someone who has been listening to cake AND loves the entire ep--and i've never listened to itzys bsides before) is because everything they're doing is screaming panic. and you can feel it through the screen. they're clearly trying at something and failing. they're clearly scared of the public's reaction. they're clearly clawing for the success and love of their debut era.
that just can't happen in this state. they need to let loose and do something fresh and let it be itzy's.
in summary... bring me ringo ringo ringo

a/n: AHH FINALLY FINISHED! hello everyone and say hi to my first fic ever on tumblr. i hope you all like it and please send your feedbacks because it motivates me and makes me so happy. i hope you won’t regret spending your time on it. thank you!
Tumblr media
When you finished law school, you already had hundreds of job offers and calls. You graduated with an honorable degree and with the impressive internships you did throughout your education, you managed to catch the eyes of the best law firms but ended up signing with the one you wanted the most.
Your parents were so proud, your friends were so proud of you, they were all there to celebrate you graduating. you worked your ass off to finish this school and now you felt it paying off when you hold your diploma in your hands, excitedly shaking it in the air as you run to your friends. 
“I made it!!!” 
All your girlfriends screamed with you as they hugged you, tears of happiness were forming in your eyes. You almost thought this day would never arrive. 
“Y/n!” A voice you hated so much through these 5 years filled up your ears. But this time it didn’t bother you that much. 
“Jay.” You turned around on your heels, holding your diploma in your hand in a weird way to show it off to him, the side of your mouth curling upwards as you stared at his eyes.
“I wanted to congratulate you for being first in our class.” He smirked. You raised your eyebrows getting confused by his politeness. 
“And congratulations for coming second, Jay.” You scanned his diploma and his clenched fist around it, even though he was smiling to your face. If they asked you which feelings were better between graduating Harvard Law and beating Jay Park, you would think about it. That's how competitive you were with him and you knew he felt the same about you.
“Let’s hug.” He leaned down before letting you speak or in other words protest as he held you from your waist and pulled to himself, resting his cheek next to yours, smelling his after shave and light perfume.
“Enjoy being first in your university life because I will never let you feel that way in your business life.” 
You froze in his hold. His annoying giggle echoed in your ears like he was the villian from a movie. What the fuck did he mean by that? You were never going to see his face again after this day anyways.
He stepped back before his mother appeared next to him, shaking hands with your mom as well, it was the first time they physically met. Even though Jay and you were never friends, each other’s name never left your mouth whenever you were back in your hometown. Jay only talked about how he got higher notes than you and you only talked about how the teacher liked your essays more than his. Your poor mothers thought you were friends or even lovers at some point since you only talked about each other to your parents at every dinner. You also hated how your mom loved Jay so much, and weirdly his mom also liked you a lot. 
It was weird their kids hated each other’s guts.
“Y/n! I can't believe you guys are colleagues now!” His mother squeaked, as she pulled you in a tight hug, squeezing your shoulders afterwards. 
You forced a laugh. “Aha, Mrs. Park, yes we are both attorneys now, how nice, right?” You raised one eyebrow, wishing for her to confirm your words. You wished she meant being colleagues as doing the same job until you are 50 something and did NOT mean working in the same law firm as Jay.
Instead, she laughed loudly. 
“My Jay got the position at WANG, just like you did!” 
The information you heard was so sudden, you choked on your own saliva, your mother worriedly slapped your back. 
You finally managed to get your breathing again. “I beg your pardon?” 
Instead of his mom, Jay decided to break the news to you. “Sorry to break it to you, y/n but you were not Mr. Wang's favorite intern at all. He hired me 15 days after you left and he immediately offered me the same position as yours.” 
You closed your eyes, trying to process everything you just heard.
“Wait, wait, wait. so, you're telling me, we will be working together in the same law firm?” 
Jay smiled with his pearl white teeth in the fakest way possible. “Exactly.” 
At the end, Jackson Wang saw two incredibly talented lawyers in the making and he couldn’t choose only one of them. 
So he decided to get both.
*
It was 16 months later after graduating, both of you had your positions in the firm and you were both very successful. 
That's why your boss gave you two tables next to each other, so you can work together and brainstorm cases. 
Jay and you were always fighting and bickering, he was driving you crazy. Working with Jay was hell. The only thing making this a better experience was he really was a good lawyer. He was stupid but he was good at his job. 
“Can you please focus and stop staring at Ryujin?” You pinched his forearm and he squeaked. 
“I am definitely not staring at her.” 
You rolled your eyes. “Yeah, you are undressing her with your eyes, those two are different things.” 
Jay gathered his hands around his chest and made a pout. “Oh my god, y/n, are you jealous that your partner is staring at some intern instead of you?” 
You squinted, giving him a deadly stare. You swear to god only if he wasn’t helpful in cases you would have already got him kicked out of the firm somehow. 
“In your dreams.” You rolled your eyes. 
You knew Jay liked her, but it was impossible for him to date her anyways. Your boss Mr. Wang had strict dating rules. He wanted everyone to focus on their work and he truly was a supporter of that you can’t separate work and love. Since you started working here, two lawyers decided to marry and Mr. Wang kindly asked them to resign just so he wouldn’t fire them after their happy announcement. 
“I am already cock blocked by Jackson, anyways.” Jay whined and you shushed him. 
“Jay, stop calling him by his name oh my god. Where is your manners?” You whisper shouted.
“I left all my manners at Harvard, darling.” He got up and shuffled your hair and you kicked him on his ankle and made him stumble as he walked towards the restroom. 
This was exactly why Jackson Wang hired you both as partners. 
You hated each other’s guts and he knew you two would never ever ever date or even like each other. 
Jay and you were partners but the rivalry between you two was in the talks of the whole firm. Interns loved watching you bicker and try suggesting a different idea everytime the other came up with a different and better one. On every meeting, you fighted, usually because Jay teasing you for something stupid. 
Jackson Wang made you a team, just so there wouldn’t be so much chaos in the firm. He literally read forums about you and Jay from your fellow Harvard graduates. 
-one time i was at the library and these two started shouting out of nowhere, don’t go there if ur trying to memorize med terms :/
-jay will be first of course. jay why didn’t you call me back after the night we had? :( 
-y’all i would watch this rivalry if they documented it on netflix, ngl.
-i was trying to study and i heard a girl scream, when i looked out of the window i saw she was kicking the pavement out of frustration… turns out it was y/n and she was frustrated cause she got A- and Jay got A+.
-y/n and jay should fuck each other on our graduation day we all deserve it.
You were famous before you graduated, and Jackson loved the fame you brought to his firm, making others left in shock as he got you both.
*
After Jay came back, you tried to work for a little while before Mr. Wang called both of you to his office. He was young, the firm was his father’s legacy actually and after graduating law school he became the ceo. Everyone loved him so much but he had his own little weird habits let’s say. 
You knocked on his door and Jay was standing beside you. after hearing him say “Come in.” You opened his door. 
“You wanted to see us, Mr. Wang.” 
“Ah, yes, yes. take a seat please. Wait or don’t. It will be quick.” 
You and Jay eyed each other in curiosity. 
“There is this friend of mine, uhm to be honest, my ex-girlfriend. She is filing a divorce and she called me.” 
You pressed your lips to each other to hold your laugh. For some reason your boss talking about his ex to his employees felt awkward. Jackson continued. 
“He apparently cheated but she doesn’t have any proof we can show in the court so you know what to do.” He rolled his eyes as if it was nothing. You and Jay have been having divorce cases left and right since you started in the firm. 
You sighed, seeing all the files on top of each other beautifully sitting on Jackson's desk, waiting for Jay and you to go through. 
“She really must have loved you if she is making her ex file her divorce, right boss?” Jay asked with a stupid smile on his face and then winced in pain when you pinched his thigh. 
Jackson just stared at Jay and didn’t even bother to answer his question.
“We will work on it all night, have a nice evening mr. wang.” You bowed your way out pulling Jay from the collar of his blazer as you dragged him out of Jackson’s room. 
“Didn’t know you wanted to get fired so badly.” You rolled your eyes and started walking without waiting for him, you heard his footsteps following you to the elevator.
“You won’t get rid of me that easily, darling.”
*
You decided to invite Jay over (for the first time ever in 16 months) since you had to work the whole night. You knew Jackson had his full trust on you two and Jay was also aware of it, so you were sure he would just professionally work and leave. 
You cleaned your house and prepared some snacks and you checked your fridge if you had some wine. 
Since you graduated, you were single as a pringle. You had a boyfriend in 2nd year of college, his name was Sunghoon and he was studying software engineering back then. It lasted for a while but then your classes got heavier and you decided to give your all to your studies so you broke up. 
And since then you only had some coffee dates through college and nothing since you started working at wang. 
It’s why now you were at your house, getting nervous at a man entering your household. Even if it was only jay. someone that is obviously you would never date. 
You went to your room and put on some biker shorts and an oversized graphic t-shirt. You put your hair up in a messy bun and added some flavored lip gloss that you enjoy wearing. 
You put all the files on your coffee table and prepared your macbook with necessary tabs open and decided to wait for Jay as you sat on your sofa. as you sat down, you realized how tense your neck was, you were literally struggling to keep your head up. Your work was stressful and definitely not easy. looking through hundreds of folders every day was incredibly tiring for your body. And now you have to do this with jay. 
You heard the door and stood up before unintentionally checking your face on your mirror in the hallway. 
When you opened the door, you saw something you didn’t expect at all. 
It was pouring rain outside and Jay was soaked. Of course he wasn’t carrying an umbrella, you were the one who covered him whenever you went to meet clients and it started pouring rain. Since you were tired, you didn’t even realize when it started raining. 
“Oh my god.” you grabbed his wrist and pulled him inside in a swift move, jay stumbled towards you and your chests bumped before he stumbled back. “I told you maybe a thousand  times to carry an umbrella.” you rolled your eyes to grab some paper towel from your kitchen, meanwhile curious Jay kicked his boots over and followed you inside. 
Your place was nicely decorated, it was minimalistic and had warm beige tones mainly. Jay scanned your kitchen when you were busy tearing apart paper towels. 
“Nice place, I expected something horrendous from you.” He commented, leaning himself to the little island in the middle of your kitchen. 
You sent him a death stare before you approached him with the paper towel. 
“You look like a wet rat in my kitchen for the first time and this is what you say?” You rolled your eyes and touched his shirt to see how badly soaked it was. 
“Were you trying to make a romantic music video or something in the rain? How did you get this wet?” You shook your head in disbelief as you tried to dry him down. 
“Ouch. A wet rat is a little bit mean.” Jay pouted and got the tissues from your hand to dry himself. 
“This is not gonna work, I need to give you some clothes.” You dragged him to your bedroom this time. surprisingly jay didn’t complain, maybe he was just used to being dragged by you anywhere you go. 
You opened the door of your bedroom and went straight to your closet, looking for your brother’s and Sunghoon’s old stuff that you still had. 
You managed to find some basketball shorts and a black t-shirt that would suit Jay. 
“Here.” you handed him the clothes. 
Jay scanned the clothes, especially the basketball shorts and gave you a questioning look. You huffed. 
“They were Sunghoon’s.” you blurbed out. Jay made an oh sound. He knew Sunghoon from college, you were all in the same friend group once. He never understood how you managed to date an engineering dude in second grade. 
“That is why they seemed familiar.” He said and his hands went to his belt to unbuckle it. 
You stood there for a while to process what was happening in your bedroom, Jay Park was about to get naked and he didn’t even ask you to get the  fuck out before he do that. 
You closed your eyes and turned your back to him and let out a scream. “Why are you undressing in front of me?!” 
“Why are you acting like you have never seen a male’s body before?” He snapped back, you heard his wet jeans dropping to the floor behind you, followed by his shirt finding its place in his pants. 
“Thank God my underwear is safe.” He mumbled, almost talking to himself and you scratched your eye to distract your mind from twisting his words and making yourself snort. 
“Are you done?” You put your hands on your waist, expecting an answer from him. 
“Yeah.” 
You turned around, seeing Jay with the basketball shorts and his hair looking wet and messy so it made you smile. He actually kind of looked cute.
“I will give you a towel to dry your hair.” You stormed out of your bedroom, leaving him in your bedroom alone. Curious cat Jay's eyes started scanning the environment he was in again. Your bed sheets were dark emerald green and he saw the strap of your nightgown sneaking under your pillow. He walked up near your head side of the bed and hooked his finger on the strap, sliding it to himself to check it out. You had a simple satin black night dress you always wore. Jay puckered his lips as he nodded his head in a confirming way. At least you weren’t wearing grandma pjs. 
He quickly tucked your nightwear back when he heard your footsteps coming closer. 
“Here.” You handed him a black towel. “Be quick, it’s already 10pm.” You squinted, trying to look intimidating to him before you walked out of your room, you heard jay’s following you and the ruffling noises of his hair. 
“Thank you.” He mumbled, almost in a shy way and handed you the dampened towel. You bit down the inside of your cheek before you scanned his face and took the towel from his hands. 
“It's fine.” You shrugged and threw the towel in the laundry basket. “Go to the living room, I have everything ready there. I’ll bring some wine.” You said and pointed to the living room area with your eyes to get him moving. 
Jay sighed as his body hit your couch, ruffling his hair with his fingers and relaxing his muscles. Running in the rain was tiring and definitely not romantic to him. 
You sat down next to him and placed his glass of wine on the table. You didn’t make any eye contact as you directly went in for the files and he did the same, your hands touching each other’s like it was a stupid rom com movie. 
“You can get that one.” He cleared his throat and went for another file, hoping the moment was not weird. You awkwardly smiled as you started reading it. 
After working for some time with Jay and sipping wine as you do, you almost choked on it when you saw something you didn’t expect. 
“Oh god, Mr. Wang and Mrs. Kim broke up because of the firm’s rules. Dating was not approved.” 
Jay continued the story.
“And she married the CEO instead of Jackson?!” 
You slapped your mouth in shock. 
“This is why!” Now you understood why Jackson had a different view of dating in the firm. 
“My man’s got heartbroken.” Jay mumbled, sipping his wine in a melancholic way. 
“I am sorry you won’t be able to make a move on Ryujin.” you showed his shoulder to tease him. Jay rolled his eyes. 
“I don’t like her. She is just hot, that’s it.” He shrugged. Since Jay was just a man, you found that fair. He cleared his throat and smirked. 
“I am sorry for Heeseung though, he is whipped for you.” 
Your eyeballs almost came out of their places at the new information Jay threw at you. “Heeseung?!” You chirped. 
“Mhm” Jay mumbled as he was scanning the file in his hand. “I heard him talking to Jake in the restroom, he said he was jealous of me because I get to be with you all the time while he is stuck with Jake.”
You were overwhelmed at how Jay effortlessly started spilling. You side-eyed his wine and saw his empty glass. You smiled. 
“Poor Jake.” you pouted, Heeseung’s words might have hurted him you thought. Jay nodded and rested his back on the couch. 
“Do you think you are lucky, Jay?” you looked under your eyelashes, looking as innocent as possible. You were one hundred percent sure Jay was a light drinker, even in college years and you totally forgot about it when you handed him the wine. 
Jay’s eyelids fluttered as he stared at you. “I am the unluckiest man on earth.” 
“Shut up.” 
“Would you rather Heeseung over me?” He asked this time, his hand went to his glass and he realized it was empty. “Do you have more wine, by the way?” He asked. 
You got the bottle that was standing on your side of the coffee table and poured more for Jay and yourself. 
“I’d rather you of course.” You said expressionlessly. “You are a pain in the ass but we make a good team.” 
“We are actually an amazing team.” He smiled. 
Jay couldn’t believe he was able to talk to you so casually, in your house late at night. College Jay would not believe this happening. College Jay, never looked at you as someone who is likable. Now as he was staring at you in the dim light and laptop screen lights, he realized how pretty your eyes looked when you smiled, how your upper lip was in a beautiful heart shape and perfectly plump. He gulped loudly. 
You dropped the files to the desk and turned your body to Jay and rested your elbow on the head rest, your face leaned into your palm. 
“What?” he asked, a smirk appeared on his face. 
“I am bored.” You shrugged. 
Jay let out a chuckle. “Nice joke, y/n.”
“No I am serious, we worked enough for today.” You really were bored and the case wasn’t that big of a deal, it can be easily finished tomorrow at work. Being with Jay like this awoke unknown feelings inside of you and you wanted to enjoy it more. 
“C’mon.” You whispered, leaning into him and taking the files from his hands and putting them on the table. This was the second time your hands touched and goosebumps rose on your skin. What the fuck was happening to you?
“Okay.” he mirrored you and started talking about normal life things as you listened to him carefully. 
*
“I feel like I am tipsy.” You giggled and checked the time. “Oh my god, Jay. It’s 3am.” 
“Is it?” He chuckled and let out a sigh. “Time flies with you.” He threw himself on the couch, his back was laid, he turned his head to look at you. You were sitting on your side, your legs crossed under you. Jay’s eyes were a little red from lack of sleep and wine.
When your eyes met, he laughed. 
“What are you laughing at?” You asked, examining his lips and teeth as he laughed. 
“Just remembered how we hate each other a lot.” 
You slapped his bare arm. “I still hate you, this night is an exception.” You told him as you tilted your head. 
“So we don’t hate each other tonight?” He asked, his breath fanned your lips as he talked. You scooted closer to him. When your hand met with his tilted neck, a shiver went down his spine. 
“No we don’t.” Your fingers stroked his skin, going up to the little hairs on the nape of his neck. 
Your faces were only inches above now, Jay’s scent enveloped you. 
“Do you wanna break some rules while we are at it?” He asked, your noses brushed when he talked. You let out a big sigh. You just couldn’t believe you were in this position with a man after almost 3 years and it was Jay. 
The guy you hated the most. 
“I don’t wanna do something we might regret.” You whispered against his lips, feeling concerned. But you wanted this so much and Jay could tell. 
“I don’t think I will ever regret having you for once.” He gripped your chin with his fingers and connected his lips to yours. You immediately tilted your head to allow him more access to your mouth. You grabbed his neck and pulled him closer to you as his arm snaked around your waist and scooted you closer to his side. Jay’s lips were so soft and careful against yours, you didn’t think he had a side to him like this. 
His hands lowered down to your hips slowly before he broke the kiss. 
“Do you want me?” He abruptly asked. 
“I don’t know if this is just wine or I am losing my mind but I want you, Jay.” you stared at his eyes. You couldn’t believe those words just spilled from your mouth. 
“How did we end up like this?” He laughed, leaning in to peck your lips again. Instead of replying, you straddled him, wrapping your arms behind his neck. He stared up at you like he was mesmerized. It has been so long since he had a woman sitting on his lap like that. 
“Less talking, more kissing tonight, okay?” You kissed him, now with the intention to taste his kiss and get the feeling of him more. Your body craved the urge to explore Jay, you doubted if you carried these feelings all these years or was it something new. 
Jay’s hands sneaked under your shirt, his fingers caressing your skin when your lips dropped to his jaw to leave open mouthed kisses. 
“Let’s go to your room.” He mumbled, dropping his head to the back and giving you more access as you sucked on his soft skin. You hummed against him, getting out of his lap and giving him your hand. 
Jay chuckled as he grabbed it and let you drag him like you always did but to your bedroom this time. 
For him to fuck you. 
You giggled when you felt him hugging you from behind leaving a trail of kisses down your shoulder. When you reached your bedroom, you turned around in his arms to kiss him again. Jay lifted you up by grabbing you from your thighs and dropped you to the bed, trying to be gentle as much as possible. He got rid of the shirt you gave him so quickly, giving you only a few seconds to breathe before he smashed his lips against yours. 
You felt his chest and abs under your palms, feeling the bumps and ridges of his deliciously soft and tanned skin. 
He slid your t-shirt up towards your ribcage, exposing your skin to his eyes. You looked so fucking breathtaking as you laid under him. He stroked the sides of your body before he pressed kisses all over your delicate skin. His fingers came in contact with your biker shorts. 
“Can I?” He asked for permission, you frantically nodded, making him laugh at your excitement. 
He pulled them down, leaving you in your lacy black underwear. Jay’s lips kissed every inch that was newly exposed to him, he kissed your thighs and his fingers were hooked under the elastic of your panties, playing with them slyly. 
You let out a moan when he kissed your clothed core. Jay was satisfied to hear you moan for the first time tonight, actually the first time in his whole life. The woman who taught him what real competition is was now moaning under him. 
Getting rid of your shirt, you exposed your upper body as well, leaving you only with panties. Outline of Jay’s dick was pretty visible and all you wanted now was to feel his big cock stretching you out. 
You palmed his crotch just to see if your eyes were mistaken when a guttural moan left Jay’s lips. Jay was hard and big, it made you squeeze your thighs together but you couldn’t because his head was between them again, he rubbed his cheek inside of your legs. 
“Mhmm.” he let out a satisfied moan as he felt your arousal against his lips over your panties. 
“Jay, please.” You whimpered in frustration. “Take them off and let me feel your lips.” 
“You want my mouth on your pretty cunt, huh?” He responded, biting the inside of your thigh. Jay was very straight forward and you were shocked when you didn’t see any glimpse of shyness on his face. His eyes sparkled with lust and hunger instead, as he stared up at you. 
He took your words as his command either way and slid your panties down to your ankles, seeing the wet patch formed in the middle. He licked his lips at the sight, your pussy looking perfect for him to devour. 
“What a pretty cunt.” He complimented, bringing his index finger around your clenching hole to see how wet you were. When the tip of his finger easily sunken inside you, he brought his other finger, spreading your wetness all over your pussy as natural lubricant. 
“I wonder if you’ll be able to take me.” He tsked, still toying with your cunt as he rubbed his fingers up and down through your folds. Your breath hitched on your throat when you started hearing the wet sounds coming from his fingers. It was so dirty and erotic. 
“I wanna take all of you.” You whimpered loudly, your fingers pulling on his hair. 
“Good girl.” He inserted his two fingers after he already saw you dripping down to your sheets, making wet patches on the expensive looking material. 
You took his fingers well, biting down your lower lip to suppress your moans. He curled them up like he had a map of your cunt, making contact with your g-spot deliciously. 
He fingered you for a while, turning you into a moaning mess before he grabbed your leg and put it over his shoulder, leaning back down to your core to lick a bold stripe through your folds. 
“Oh my god.” You screamed, pulling on his hair with your whole life, your hole clenching around nothing as he sucked on your clit like it was candy. 
“God, y/n. You taste so fucking good.” He hummed against your hole, sending vibrations all over your body. You were seconds away from cumming. 
When you saw Jay also rubbing his cock on your sheets, painfully hard in his jeans and trying to get a friction, you realized how close he was just from fingering and eating you out. 
“I want you Jay.” You whimpered, impatiently pulling him to yourself as you grabbed him from his face, kissing him again. Jay shamelessly showed his tongue down your throat, making you taste yourself mixed with his own juices. You reached down to pull his shorts over his ass, feeling the curve between his butt and his waist. His ass was perfect and you thought how amazing it would feel to push him deeper inside of you from his hips and he thrusted in you frantically. 
Jay pulled his underwear down as well, kicking the shorts and the boxers from his legs as he struggled a little but he managed to do it. 
“Do you have a condom?” He asked out of breath, kissing the valley of your breasts as his one hand played with your nipple, pinching and rolling it on his palm. 
You reached out to your bedside drawer, Jay’s lips automatically falling down to your ribcage, peppering kisses all over your tummy. Being a whimpering mess, you managed to grab a condom, wishing it hadn't expired. 
He towered you before getting the condom from your hands, ripping it with his teeth in a hurry, he just wanted to be inside you right now. You curiously studied his cock, as he gave it a few sloppy strokes to, spreading his precum over the length to begin with. Then he carefully slid down the condom on his cock, he palmed himself from his base as he guided himself over your cunt, collecting your juices all over the condom. 
When his tip rubbed against your clit, you whined, showing him how eager you were to take his dick. Jay smirked as he kept rubbing himself against you, enjoying the feeling of this new type of intimacy. 
“Jay!!!” You whined once again loudly, if he kept doing this you would cum without even getting to feel him inside. He pressed his against your entrance hovered above your body as he had to push his dick into your tight hole. You tried to open your legs further for him to go deeper but everytime he moved, you clenched so hard and whimpered. 
“So fucking tight.” He grunted, looking down between your bodies and seeing his cock halfway in. You wrapped your arms around his neck, pulling in him and kissing his jaw. “It’s okay, I am not in pain.” You assured him, wanting him to be balls deep inside because for fuck’s sake you had enough. 
“I don’t wanna hurt you.” He said in concern, moving his hips forward a bit more, eliciting a moan from you. He sighed in pleasure as he felt your heat enveloping him even more. 
Jay was kissing down your neck when you suddenly wrapped your legs around his waist, making Jay bottom you out in one move. The way he moaned so loudly against your skin made you clench again, you felt so fucking full. 
“Fuck!” He cried out, the way your walls wrapped him so beautifully was driving him insane. 
You whined his name, pulling him closer to your body and hugging around his shoulders. 
“Are you okay?” He asked, pushing your sweaty hair out of your face to see your expression. It has been so many fucking years since you last had sex, but you didn’t want to tell this to him and boost his ego. He already understood anyway, you thought. 
“Hmm.” You hummed, as you hugged him close, not letting him move as you waited for the slight burn to subdue completely. Meanwhile Jay gave you some kisses to make you feel comfortable, seeing you in this state looking so pretty and vulnerable switched something inside of him, he wanted to take care of you the whole night.
“Tell me when to move.” He kissed your temple as he patiently waited. It was your fault  being so eager and ending up hurting yourself but he wasn’t surprised. Your eagerness was also present at work. 
“Move, Jay… please.” You cried out, literal tears forming on your eyes from the immense pleasure of feeling so full. His cock felt like it was the perfect match for your needy cunt. 
When Jay started moving, your eyes literally rolled back to your head. His pelvis was perfectly grazing over your clit, creating the most amazing sensation and made you squeeze him as he started slow with grinding motions.
His nose bumped against your before he gave you a soft chaste kiss on the lips, which made your heart beat so fast. His lips dropped to your jaw, then your neck and then up again to your earlobe, biting it gently. 
“You feel amazing.” He whispered to your ear, sending shivers down your spine as your back arched. 
You didn’t know how you made him feel but you were sure you were on cloud nine. Jay was so fucking good, he was everything you needed all these years and you hated the fact that he was right in front of you. 
After a while, Jay was easily going in and out your pussy, he was pulling out to his tip before he plunged himself back fully into you. The filthy whimpers he left with every move made you go crazy, wrapping your legs tighter around him to feel more friction. You wrapped around him like velvet and he thought he was in heaven. 
“Can I go faster?” He mumbled against your neck, you only nodded, feeling unable to answer him in words. Jay patted your thigh, as he buried his face in your neck completely. His hands grabbed your as with his pretty hands to hold you in place before he started a quicker rhythm. 
Your moan cracked in your throat and your hands gripped your bed sheets, he was fucking you fast and deep, it felt euphoric. You just wanted him to fuck you every fucking day. 
That’s when you had your idea. 
“Jay…” You whimpered. “So close.” Your eyes shut with pleasure. Jay’s cock was feeling your spasming walls and it pushed him to his release way faster. 
“Me too, darling.” He stopped sucking your neck to look at your disheveled face which he decided was extremely hot. 
“Let go with me, let’s cum together. My God you feel so good y/n.” He grunted as he quickened his pace even more to make you both cum. 
You cried out as your back arched and held onto Jay’s shoulders, having the best orgasm in your life. Ever. 
Jay filled the condom inside of you, your walls milked him until there was nothing left for him to release, he cummed a lot, he couldn’t ignore the idea of you cumming inside of you loads and watching it spill from
your slit. 
“Fuck.” You breathed out, regulating your breath as Jay laid on top of you, trying to get his back. If he stood up right now he would fall on top of you. 
You played with his hair, massaging his scalp as he stayed inside of you for a while, a silence taking over the place of your moans and the sound of sex. For some reason, Jay felt peaceful, his skin was warm and pretty, it gave you a comfort that you craved for so long. 
You wanted him to sleep next to you. 
He scanned your room with his eyes to spot the bin, before he got up to discard the condom he placed a kiss on your jaw, you felt yourself blushing for the act. (like he wasn’t balls deep inside few seconds ago)
You watched him slip inside of his boxers quickly and without a word he came back to bed and laid down next to you, watching your ceiling. 
Both of you felt the awkwardness and the sudden change of your rivalry turning to friendship and then it ending up in bed, things escalated so fast for you to process. 
You spoke up like you read his mind. 
“Let’s talk about this in the morning, okay?” You asked, turning your body towards him to stare at his side. Jay was built deliciously and carved by gods you almost swore at how you never fucked him once in college. 
“Mhm.” He hummed, pulling your sheets over himself. He lifted the side for you to come in. 
You quickly cuddled into him, as he covered your bodies. You hugged his waist and put your chin on his chest, feeling peaceful than ever. 
“Can we keep loving each other until tomorrow?” He asked suddenly, making you look up at his glossy eyes from the tiredness. His words made you smile softly. You nodded, your hand finding the side of his cheek as his found yours, pulling each other in a kiss like magnets. 
You fell asleep to Jay’s lips kissing you gently.
*
“Wake up, Park.” 
You slapped the piece of paper against Jay’s sleeping face as he laid in your bed. You were already dressed up, you opened your windows to let the smell of sex disappear and spending exactly 45 minutes on the hickey on your neck to cover it up, thanks to him. 
But, the most important thing you did was what was on top of Jay’s face. 
“Good morning to you, too.” He rolled his eyes as he stood up, making you suck your lower lip to the sight in front of you. You were already dressed up in your pants and blazer, he realized you had showered and was smelling of your expensive perfume that he always secretly admired. 
“If you agree with all the clauses I listed down in the contract please sign it.” You put your hands on your waist, staring up at his face because he was taller. 
Jay was dumbfounded as he sat down back on your bed, flipping the paper to read it out loud. 
“Friends with Benefits'' contract.” he furrowed his brows and looked up at you. “Seriously?” 
You sighed. “Please just read.” 
Jay huffed, looking at the first line. “Whenever one of the other person wants sex, they have the right to call the business partner in order to satisfy their needs.” 
“Hmmm.” Jay hummed, laying down completely on your bed and lifting his arms up to keep reading the paper. You crawled next to him and straddled his thighs. 
“Physical contact whenever someone craves it is also okay.” He continued then looked at your fingers toying with his waistband. “Like now?” He smirked. 
You slapped his tummy. “Just continue, Park.”
Jay squinted to read the other line. “No other sex partners. Or any partner that will contain the use of body fluids.” 
“I’m a little hypochondriac.” You scratched your neck, reasoning him. 
“So this means as long as this contract is present, I’ll only get to kiss you and no one else?” He made it clear out loud for you to confirm.
You proudly nodded your head, making Jay let out a cute giggle. 
He got serious again when he saw the sentence that was written in bold and red. 
“Dating each other and falling in love is forbidden and the other has the right to terminate the contract if it happens.” 
Jay cleared his throat, staring at your clothed figure sitting on top of him. You decided to talk. “We will keep this a secret of course, no one can now.” you mumbled silently and looked at him with keen eyes as you anticipated an answer. 
“Give me a pen.”

A month already flew by with the agreement you did with Jay and everything was simply amazing. You had frustrated from work sex, I want to feel something sex or simply I am bored so I am here to fuck you sex. Well you couldn’t complain at all, fucking Jay was one of a kind and surprisingly both of your sex drives was as high as Mount Everest. 
You found yourself biting your lip as Jay bent down a little to show Chaewon what she couldn’t do on the computer. You licked your lips at the view of Jay’s ass in his tight work pants and his tiny little waist inside of his designer belt. 
“Yeah, just like that.” he assured her, giving her a smile before he walked up to his desk next to you, of course he caught you staring shamelessly. 
“Something on my butt?” He pouted, trying to look behind his back. You sent him a deadly stare. 
“Probably your brain.” You smiled at him annoyingly. 
He was about to say something when Ryujin stepped inside. “Good morning, everyone.” 
You unintentionally turned to look at Jay, to see his reaction to seeing her. She was pretty, she was younger and she really was Jay’s type. When you saw Jay smiling at her softly, you had a pain in your stomach, and uneasiness took all over your body. 
“My internship is ending in 15 days so I wanted to tell you all that. I will be working at a different firm.”
Jake came up to her, “So you won’t be a part of WANG in 15 days?”He asked, and she pouted, nodding her head. 
Now, you were scared to look at Jay, there won’t  be any blocks between his work crush and him in the matter of 15 days. He was going to  terminate your contract and make a move on Ryujin and then marry her after 3 years and have kids. 
“Y/n!!” Someone yelled. “My God, are you deaf?” Jay waved his hand in front of your face. You snapped out of your own thoughts suddenly. “Hm?” 
“Client is waiting for us in the lobby.” He explained,  and stood before your chair as you gathered all the things you needed from your desk. “Okay let’s go.” You got up, started following Jay to the elevators. You got in after him and watched him press floor 2 instead of L. 
You furrowed your brows. “I thought we were going to meet the client?” 
“I lied.” He nonchalantly said as he stretched his neck to the back and then to both sides. You licked your lips. 
“Sounds like you found a safe spot.” 
He puckered his lips. “Oh, yeah.” 
*
When your back hit the cabinet behind, you made a surprised sound. Jay’s lips literally attacked yours, your teeth clicking sometimes from how hard he was kissing you. 
He brought you to the archive, after he found out the guy who stood here goes to lunch around these hours and there were no cameras in the room. 
“Now it’s the time that you can touch my butt.” Jay breathed into your mouth making you laugh. 
“Did you bring me all the way down here so I can touch your butt?” You talked between kisses, his fingers unbuttoning your shirt to expose your lacy black bra. 
“Mhm, my favorite set.” Jay ducked down to suck on the skin that was showing over the material. As he was busy down there, you quickly unbuckled his belt and pulled his trousers down, grabbing his ass and pulling his crotch to yours. 
He moaned at the feeling of your hands touching his ass and his clothed cock making contact with your clothed core. 
“Fuck, that felt good.” He chuckled into your neck. 
“It’s unfair you have a better ass than mine.” You pouted as your nails scratched the nape of his neck. 
“We can go to the gym together, darling. Y’know, bonding time.” He winked at you, making your eyes roll in a funny way. To be honest, sweaty gym sex didn’t sound bad you might consider going to gym with him. 
You kind of felt relaxed that after the news Ryujin dropped, Jay was still thinking about you and wanted to be with you. But you knew you had to talk about this matter with him later.
Right now, you just wanted to make him feel good. 
You put your hand inside of his underwear and grabbed his hardened member as you started stroking him, his precum was already leaking from his tip so it was about time. 
You twisted your wrist as you pumped his dick, to get all of him. 
Both of you were startled when your phone rang out of nowhere. You kept your hand on his dick while the other went to your pocket, grabbing your phone.
“Shit, it’s the client. They must be here.” You whined as you stared at Jay’s hazy eyes from pleasure. You just couldn’t leave him with blue balls like that. 
You got down on your knees in seconds, taking his cock in your mouth and swallowing around him, giving him the fastest blow job you can ever. 
Jay closed his mouth with one hand to muffle his moans while the other held on to your hair with his dear life, to keep you in place and guide you on his cock. You took him down your throat and breathed through your nose before you started bobbing your head, your fingers caressing his thigh. 
Jay’s dick twitched in your mouth, his precum on your taste buds when you looked up at him, catching him looking down at you, his one hand still covering his mouth. 
A throaty moan left his mouth, when you licked the vein underside of his dick. 
You pumped his dick in your hand fast to get the job done even quicker and put your mouth back in, so he won’t make a mess in the archive. He searched your face for permission and you nodded.
“So close. So close! So CLOS—” Jay didn't get to complete his sentence before you felt the hot ropes of his cum shooting down your throat. He slowly let his hand down on his face, breathing loudly and freely after the overwhelming high he just had. 
“I’ve never cummed this fast in my whole life.” 
You got up and as you were doing it, you pulled his pants up to his waist and buckled his belt. “Write it on your records list then.” You smirked and wiped your mouth with the side of your hand as you stared at his eyes, making him blink a few times and gulp loudly. Without a word you grabbed your files and phone from the floor and started walking towards the exit, until you realized Jay was still standing there. 
“Jay!” You shouted. “We are already late, c’mon.” 
He shook his head to the sides to get his senses back to himself and mouthed a ‘wow!’ before running after you. 
*
Jackson assigned 4 attorneys (including you and Jay) along with Heeseung and Jake and two interns, Chaewon and Ryujin to attend a conference in a different city. He said you and Jay will make nice contacts there and the others might learn something new. 
Of course Jay’s first thought was going on a trip with you but he kept forgetting the fact that you were keeping this secret and also, you weren’t his girlfriend. He get to kiss you and fuck you but he was never going to get to call you his girlfriend. 
Jay was craving a relationship for a long time now and had to accept this, he did like you. He wasn’t sure if it was just his sexual relationship he had with you or was he actually developing some feelings for you. 
On the other hand, Ryujin really seemed interested in him and he used to like her, but now he was confused. He could have chosen to be with her and solve all his problems but he didn’t want to lose what he had with you. 
He didn’t want to lose you at all. 
On the plane, the seats were taken randomly so you were seated next to Heeseung, which Jay confessed that he was interested in you and for his chance, Ryujin was sitting next to him. 
He couldn’t find anything to talk about with her. He remembered the first night you and him had sex, how the conversation just flowed effortlessly. Ryujin was talking to him about stuff she was interested in and the music she listened to but Jay couldn’t relate. He decided he lost his interest for her over these few months and he had only one woman in his dreams.
Meanwhile, seated next to Heeseung, he was making you laugh a lot, he was naturally funny. He told you about his funny moments he had with Jake in the firm and some hilarious gossip he heard about Jackson. You were now sure Jay wasn’t lying when he said Heeseung was into you. Being an attorney came with some gifts that you earn with experience over time. The way Heeseung leaned into you, made eye contact as he spoke about something and stared directly to your lips when you talked made it clear for you. His body language was speaking to you. 
You acted like you were stretching to check out what Jay was up to and saw him listening to some bullshit Ryujin was telling. He tried to seem interested or you wanted to believe that he was uninterested as she showed some pictures from her camera roll to him. 
You froze when your eyes met, it tickled your stomach catching his pretty eyes looking at you. He faintly smiled at you before turning his attention back
to Ryujin, who kept showing pictures to him. 
Jay was jealous that you were laughing at everything Heeseung said, but he was unaware of your feelings that were matching his. 
You also only had him in your mind. 
*
When you checked into your hotels it was already midnight, so everyone went to their rooms to sleep. In the elevator Heeseung asked what your room number is which made Jay’s blood boil, why the fuck he needed that information. 
He stormed out of the elevator, obviously jealous, side eyeing you as you unlocked your door, Heeseung wishing you a goodnight, opening his own door as well. 
You and Jay were in single rooms and Heeseung and Jake and the girls were in two seperate rooms. 
Once you got in your room, you immediately got naked to hop in the shower and take a looong one since flying always tired you a lot. As the hot water caressed your skin, you were thinking about Jay and being worried about Ryujin and him going out to have some drinks. Uneasy feeling took over your body as you were shampooing your hair. 
Meanwhile Jay in his room, changed into comfortable clothes, stared at the ceiling, with a frown on his face. He was visualizing the way he would burn the contract in front of your face after you fuck Heeseung. 
What if you invite Heeseung to your room instead of him? What if you fall in love with him and leave the firm to be with him and leave Jay all alone there? 
He put his pillow on his face and screamed into it. 
Since there were no messages or calls from you, he tried to sleep. 
*
After your one hour long shower, you opened your suitcase and found your baby blue pj set. You gathered yourself in lotion and light perfume before you picked up your phone and laid on your bed. 
No texts from Jay. 
‘Was he with Ryujin?’ was your first thought, sending shivers down your spine. You felt like you needed to text him. 
You opened your chat with him, which consisted of messages of ‘are you coming’s? and ‘i’m on my ways’.
—“do you wanna come over to my room? 🤧” you typed and hit send. 
You bit your lip as you tapped your phone screen with your nails, getting impatient. You just wanted Jay next to you since the day you fucked for the first time. It was like his pheromones were just a magnet to yours and you couldn’t get enough of him. 
Now you wanted him to ruin the shower you took for an hour. 
But now, you were feeling sad, thinking if he feels the same way. Were you being a crazy bitch and had the urge to lick him all over when it felt the same as masturbating to him. 
No feelings and just using each other to satisfy your needs was what you had in your agreement after all.
You wanted to unsent. Your overthinking was getting over you, thinking if you were being too needy. 
Thank god your cloud of thoughts were interrupted when you heard knocks on your hotel door. You got up, side eyed yourself in the mirror quickly, your baby blue silk pj set looking so cute and sexy. Your hair is silky smooth resting on your shoulders and you made sure you smelled like cozy notes of vanilla for extra spice. 
“Hi Ja—”
You couldn’t finish your greeting when Jay's both hands cupped your face in a forceful way, smashing his lips to yours and kicking your room door with the back of his boot. The muffled sounds came from your mouths as he pushed you to the wall and caged your body. Your hands immediately went under his simple black t-shirt, feeling the slight lines of his abs. 
“I thought you were getting laid with Heeseung.” He confessed, kissing your jaw and then biting down your neck to make you feel his frustration. You were shocked with what he said and couldn’t reason it, was this because you sat next to him on the plane?
“Why would I fuck Heeseung, we signed an agreement…” 
You grabbed the top of Jay’s silky black hair in an aggressive way, making his hazy eyes stare at you. He was so lost at your sudden movement and the dumbfounded expression was on his face when your eyes met. 
“Are YOU fucking someone behind me?” You fired your question, your face came closer to his out of frustration and your noses bumped to each other.
Jay swore he had butterflies in his stomach. You were so cute when you looked at him like that, thinking you were looking intimidating but you looked like a little angry kitten to him. He couldn’t help himself and leaned down, bumped your noses together in the softest way before kissing the tip of it. The way you gulped was so loud, it was embarrassing. 
“I am loyal to our agreement as well.” He said, putting his hand on the wall to lean to you. You looked down feeling ashamed now, it sounded so desperate like you were jealous of him. You weren’t jealous of him… You just didn’t want stds, or lose this connection you have with him when he moves on and falls in love with some other girl. You were obviously feeling intimidated since Ryujin announced she was leaving the firm. 
“Why are you not making a move on Ryujin?” You suddenly asked, still looking down. “You know… if you want to ask her out, we can end this.” You pointed between your chests. 
Your suggestion made him chuckle and gave him a relief after he understood you were obviously jealous, just like he was of Heeseung. He didn’t give a damn fuck about Ryujin when you stand in front of him in your baby blue set, and your eyes looking up at him worriedly. 
To Jay, your body, your scent, the way your fingers touch him, the way your tongue feels on his body, the way your walls wrap around him everytime he fucks you was all he could think 24/7. 
“Fuck Ryujin, and fuck Heeseung.” he sighed. “I only care about us.” 
Us... What did ‘us’ mean? Two work friends, (formerly hated each other) fucking each other whenever they have a chance? What an amazing bond, you thought. 
You’ve come to a realization that you knew every detail of Jay's body but you didn’t even know his favorite color. You knew what position he liked the most, but you didn’t know anything about his childhood. 
You didn’t want to fixate on the word us. 
Jay and you dating was impossible. As long as you worked at WANG, best thing you could do was having sex like this. A relationship was not in the books for you two. 
You have to keep Jay your dirty little secret, forever. 
“Jay…” you sighed, pulling him to your lips from the nape of his neck. “I need you.” 
Jay smiled to himself as he grabbed you from under your thighs and lifted you up. “I was waiting for you to say that.” 
You giggled into his mouth as he never broke the kiss and put you down onto your bed. He leaned over your body, the craving is finally being satisfied. you wrapped your legs around his waist even tighter as he held your face between his hands.
“Tell me what you want, I am at your service.” 
“I just want your cock, no foreplay.” Your hands went to his jeans to unbuckle his belt quickly. you were getting eager every second. Jay kicked down his jeans from his legs and threw them to the floor, before he leaned back he also got rid of his top in a swift way. You supported yourself on your elbows as you traced his v line. 
“No foreplay? Are you sure?” He asked, playing with the strap of your pj top. 
You pulled his face to yours to start making out again. “Some more kissing-uhm.” Jay's lips felt so soft on yours, sucking on them and even biting them was pure ecstasy. His arm wasn’t supporting himself, he was basically laying on top of you as you kissed, your fingertips trailed down his back until they came to the elastics of his underwear. 
With one strong move you pushed Jay away and rolled over to get on top of him, not losing any time before you started sucking on his neck. He was letting out heavenly moans, you thought you might cum to the sinful noises he was making. your tongue pressed flat on his neck before you suck on it and then gave kitten licks all the way to his jaw. 
You took off your top in a slow motion for him, your boobs bouncing as the material hit them. You swore you felt Jay's cock stirring under your thigh. then you stand on your knees, pulling your shorts down erotically, letting out moans as you did so. 
“God, y/n. What are you doing to me?” 
Jay's fingers pinched your nipples as you got rid of all the clothing you have, straddling him bare. He loved your body, he loved every bit of you, every detail of you was perfect to him. 
You rubbed your cunt against his clothed dick, both of you letting out a loud moan. He was so painfully hard, the friction you felt was amazing. 
“Jay, can I cum like this?” You asked, giving him puppy eyes. “Can I use you like this, Jay?” 
Jay was losing his mind. He wanted you to use him, spend him. Oh god, only if you knew how fucking heavenly you looked on top of him as you rubbed your cunt against him, asking to cum like that. 
“Fuck.” he rolled his eyes as you frantically started to rub yourself on him, when you gave him your hands to hold, Jay intertwined your fingers before kissing the side of your hand. His underwear was getting tight on his crotch now and he felt he was going to make a mess in seconds if you kept doing this.
Jay felt the knot in his stomach getting loose, he had to do something, he couldn’t just cum in his pants when he let you grind on him like that. He couldn’t believe he was going to cum before you. 
“Sit on my face.” He commanded. “or sit on my dick for fuck’s sake, I am so close.” 
You chuckled at his desperation. Although you would enjoy watching him cum in his underwear and make a mess, it was way too early and you wanted to feel him more. 
“It's okay Jay.” you smiled as you tugged down his boxers to his knees. His boner slipped out of his boxers the moment you pulled them down, your mouth watered at the sight. 
“Oh Jay…” you moaned. “Fuck, you look so fucking good right now.” You complimented him. You took his length in your hand and stroked him slowly as you spread his pre cum all over him. “Be a good boy and tell me where I can find a condom.”
“My back pocket—ah. fuck. my jeans.” He spoke out, having trouble breathing at this point. You gave a kiss to his lower stomach which made him shiver and his cock throb. 
“Wait for me.” 
You quickly got out of bed to look on the floor for Jay's jeans. As you tried to find a foil packet quickly you felt your fingers shaking. He was making you feel nervous and you couldn’t help it. 
Jay supported himself on his elbow as his other hand lazily stroked himself up and down and he watched you find the condom packet. “There.” You whispered to yourself and immediately put your knee on the bed to go back to your needy colleague. You slapped Jay's hand with one hand as the other brought the packet to your teeth, professionally tearing it apart. 
Jay's heart dropped as he watched you spitting the piece of foil to the floor. It was somehow nasty and unexpected from you. He realized himself blinking at you and salivating.
You carefully put the condom on Jay, making him hiss. The way your delicate fingers runned up and down as a little tease, made him impatiently slap his thigh now. “C’mon darling, don’t make me wait.” 
You followed his order as you aligned him with your dripping cunt and easily sunk down until your clit touched his pubic one. Both of you let out a moan of satisfaction in harmony. 
“So tight, so wet… you are so fucking amazing.” Jay's eyes rolled back. At first your hips started with grinding motions, feeling his outline hitting every spot inside your walls and his tip already pushing up your g spot. 
“I don’t think I will ever get used to how big you are, fuck.” You huffed. You wanted to bounce on his cock, go crazy and wild on him but you knew you would end up bruising your insides. And if you walk funny tomorrow, everyone would understand what happened the previous night.
You pressed your forehead to his as you kept swaying your hips, finding a nice rhythm that both of you enjoy. 
“Believe me I would like to ride you better, but we have a conference tomorrow to attend.” 
Jay's hands guided your hips, “Being inside of you is more than enough, darling.” He searched up your face to see if you could answer him. When he realized you were focused on grinding and kissing his temple he continued.
“I will fuck you slowly and passionately like this, if that’s what my girl wants.” 
Your hips stopped moving. His girl??? What was he saying to you? Was he aware or was he just playing along to set the mood? Were you really his girl like, as his friend you could still be his girl, right? Did he mean it romantically? Was Jay falling for you? 
“What's wrong?” Jay pouted against your lips. You shook your head like it was nothing. You didn’t want him to feel that you were overthinking. 
“Sorry, just a cramp.” You mumbled before you got back to your slow rhythm you set earlier. Jay hummed as he kissed you again. your tits were rubbing up and down his upper body as you fucked. This felt so good, so intimate. 
This felt like a sex that couples in love would have. Jay's hands were running all over your body, his lips were kissing your lips, your jaw, your neck and forehead basically anywhere he can reach from the position he is at. your hands were tangled up in his hair, massaging his scalp and tugging on his hair as you were getting closer to your high every second.
Jay felt you clenching down on him, the way you felt like velvet even with the condom, he could have only imagined how your tightness would feel bare. Every bit of your skin was touching each other except the part that was covered with the stupid piece of plastic he hated the most. 
He imagined about how he would fuck you if you were his girlfriend, he would tell that he loves you right at this moment, when his girlfriend is breathless from the amount of kisses and her thighs sore from riding him for so long. 
He decided to fuck you all night. because why not? It was everything to him having you on top and seeing you trying to get off on his dick in slow motion, it made him sleepy and calm. The pleasure mounting on his lower abdomen sometimes halted, which he loved, the more he was inside of you, the happier he felt. 
“Do you wanna cum?” 
Jay nodded his head to the sides. “No.” 
You bit down on his sharp jawline before you left little soothing kisses on the area. “No?” You asked in curiosity, you expected him to say otherwise. 
“You feel so good, I don't want this to end.” He pouted. His face made you let out a giggle. You pinched his cheek and nodded. 
“Okay, but change positions? My thighs are kind of hurting.” you said as you pushed his sweaty pieces of hair out of his forehead. Jay nodded and made both of you lay on your sides, facing each other, keeping your bodies connected. 
You pressed your chest to his again and threw your leg over his hip, he slid even deeper and with the emotion of pain painting your face Jay kissed your forehead. 
He was balls deep inside of you now. 
“Feeling good?” 
You nodded your head as you held onto Jay's shoulders, Jay held your ass in the meantime to make it easier to move. 
Your bodies naturally find their rhythm again. It felt so good, so natural. His beautiful sparkling eyes as they stared at yours, his lips parted slightly to let out sinful moans for you to hear. his cheeks had a rosy tint from the heat, and his scent was raised around you, wrapping you in some form of safety and comfort. 
Were you really falling for him? Why were you having such intimate sex with your fuck buddy and staring at his eyes like you were fucking your husband on your first night. 
A wave of thoughts took over you and the control of your body. You got scared of your feelings, you knew what was happening to you and if you kept on doing this, you would be so lost and confused after. 
The way you flipped Jay on his back again was so sudden, his almost closing eyes snapped open to your action. His head hit the bed harshly before you put your hands down on his abs, as you frantically started to bounce on his dick. You let your head fall down from the pain and pleasure mixing in your body. 
You knew Jay was surprised so you blurbed out. “I changed my mind.” 
When he looked down at the point where you bodies connected his eyes rolled, you were fucking yourself hard on him, his heart felt like it could stop. He didn’t want you to hurt yourself, he loved fucking you both ways whether it was hardcore or soft. 
“What about the conference tomorrow?” He breathed out between moans, he swore he was just two seconds away from cumming. 
“I don't care.” 
Walking funny and fucking up the conference was okay. You knew you could recover from it. 
But falling in love with your co-worker that you can never be together with? That you refused to do. That you were so scared of but knew was inevitable.
*
On your way home, you and Jay were seated next to each other on the plane. the conference went well, thankfully you weren’t limping or anything after what happened the night before. Now you were sleepy and again, Jay being next to you enveloped you with an indescribable comfort. 
You glanced at him, his eyes were closed as his cheek rested on his palm. 
Your heart’s beating was irregular these days whenever you looked at him, he was making you feel some type of way that you’ve never experienced before. 
Your connection was something rare. Was it worth risking your job though?
After checking out everyone and seeing they are asleep, you sneaked your hand to his lap to hold his free hand. 
He mumbled as his eyes were still closed. “Someone might see.” 
“Everyone's asleep.” You assured him. Jay smiled and squeezed your hand in his. “Gimme a kiss then.” 
You snorted and bumped your shoulder to his. “That, I can't do.” Jay pouted at your words. When he pouted like that, you couldn’t hold yourself and pulled him into a chaste kiss from the side of his neck. 
His lips closed on yours, they always felt so soft. Your lips stayed pressed into each other for a few seconds, as your eyes were closed, enjoying each other’s presence out in public for the first time. 
It felt so fucking good, you both felt the butterflies in your stomach. 
Jay broke the kiss, his eyes scanned the seats around you to see if everyone’s still sleeping before leaning in and kissing you one more time. 
You licked your lips in a satisfied way, making him chuckle. 
There was a silence as you stared at each other lovingly with a stupid smile plastered on both of your faces. 
Just by looking at each other’s eyes, you swore you telepathically communicated.
You both knew your connection wasn’t just sex and there were feelings involved and you needed to make a decision about it when you get back home. 
*
After landing safely, you messaged Jay instead of talking to him, because you felt Heeseung's eyes on you. The last thing you wanted was to find others that you had some sort of relationship with Jay. 
—“take a different taxi and come to my place?🥺” 
You were sitting on your suitcase as you all waited for a drive and you shifted when you heard Jay's giggle, then the typing sounds coming from his phone.
—“already missing my cute little butt?🥺” 
You bite the inside of your cheek as a wave of embarrassment washed over your body. You quickly started typing back. 
—“no, we need to talk. but yes, i also missed your cute little butt. 😒” 
Jay smiled.
—“i'll be there, darling.”
Your heart flipped inside your chest, seeing your nickname on the screen. You caught him staring at you when you met his gaze, smiling as you put your phone to your bag. 
“This is our ride guys, we are all going in the same direction!” Jake yelled, pointing at the girls as they all got in the car. 
You felt Heeseung sneaking up behind your back, and gently tapping your arm. “I can give you a ride if you want y/n.” 
You kindly smiled. “I already called a cab— oh it’s here!” you showed the taxi parking in front of the gate. 
“Oh okay, then. see you at the office tomorrow.” he waved at you as you got in. You spotted Jay through your windows. He only winked at you before you saw him getting on the other cab that stopped behind yours. 
*
After you got home, you changed into something comfortable quickly since Jay was only 2 minutes away from you. When your doorbell rang, you found a Jay 
Park leaned against your door frame, looking as boyfriend as ever. 
“Hi.” You beamed at him, tilting your head at the sight. You gave him your hands for him to come inside before you pulled him in a hug. 
Jay sighed at the warmth of your body hugging him. He buried his face in the crook of your neck, you stayed like that for a while before you took his hand and dragged him to your living room. 
“So, I wanted to talk with you.” You started. Jay looked at you curiously but kind of guessing what were you going to say. He already knew how he felt.
You cleared your throat. “I feel things that I am not supposed to feel when I am with you, and it scares me.” You confessed, looking at your lap and playing with your fingers. 
“I love my job but I also…” The words almost spilled from your mouth before you stopped yourself. 
“You can’t decide between your job and me.” He said. 
It sounded so cruel when he worded like that, you saw the pain in his eyes. You wish there was a way out of this without hurting each other or risking your careers. 
“If you want to leave and date someone, it is okay.” You said, wishing deeply from your heart that he would say no. What would you do if he stands up and leaves you there like that? How were you supposed to be next to someone you are deeply in love with when they were in love with someone else. Even the thought of Jay touching someone made you feel devastated.
“I am terminating my contract.” He stared at you with glossy eyes. It felt like someone squeezed your heart inside your chest, the pain you felt was indescribable. 
When a tear dropped down your cheek and you understood it all wrong, Jay smiled and kissed away your tear, making you flutter your eyelashes. 
“Because I fell in love with you.” 
“Dating each other and falling in love is forbidden and the other has the right to terminate the contract if it happens.” 
“And I don’t care if it will cost me my job, I don’t give a fuck. I only want you. I want to be with you.” He held your face in his hands, stroking your cheeks lovingly. 
“Jay…” You said his name in shock. You couldn’t find any words to say so you kissed him, wrapping your hands around his neck. “I am in love with you too.” You finally confessed, feeling light as ever. 
“We will keep it a secret, I’ll let you be my dirty little secret forever if this is what it takes.” He talked, his lips caressed yours as he did. You tackled him on the couch, giving kisses all over his face. “I love you, I love you, I love you.” 
Jay was a giggling mess under you, he wrapped his arms around your body and pulled you to his chest. You listened to his heartbeat that felt so peaceful. 
That day Jay and you had a very long night, you let him fuck you without a condom the first time, and the second time and the third time. You both loved being connected like that, it felt so raw and intimate.
Then you talked for hours in your bed, only wrapped with your sheet, his hands all over you as you told him stories. Jay kept getting distracted because of your lips, so he stopped you midtalk to smash his lips against yours. He was so whipped for you and you felt the same way about him. Then he made you instant noodles because the activities you’ve done tired you enough, he wanted you to be full before you took a shower together. 
In the shower, he took good care of you, helped you wash yourself and gave kisses and massages to you. His hands roamed all over you, caressed your thighs and hips, his lips attacked your collarbones before he wrapped you in his arms as you just swayed under the warm water. He dried you after the shower and watched you putting on lotion when he dried his black hair with a towel, getting flashbacks of the night he first stayed over. 
Without asking you, he opened his suitcase and found a clean shirt that is way too oversized for you. He tucked the shirt over your head and then your arms, giving you the princess treatment of your life. 
You realized you were so lucky to have him.  
You patted the space next to you after he cozily tucked you in your bed.
Jay gladly lifted the covers and cuddled you, pulling your leg over his hip and pressing your face to his chest. 
“You smell so good.” You mumbled as your fingers drew patterns on his back, which made Jay feel sleepy and safe. Being in your arms was definitely his favorite thing. 
“Are you my girlfriend now?” He chuckled, placing a kiss on top of your head. 
“Seems like it.” You kissed his chest. “What are we going to do at work tomorrow?” You asked in curiosity. Were you supposed to act like you still hated each other? How were you going to stand not touching him all day when he was sitting beside you. 
“Don’t worry about work, everything will be okay.” He assured you. You just nodded, you trusted him with your whole heart. “I love you.” You mumbled against his chest for the 7th time that night. 
“I love you more, y/n. More than you can ever imagine.” 
With those words, you drifted off to sleep in your boyfriend’s arms. 
*
You opened your eyes in Jay’s embrace, his strong chest pressed against your back and his leg over yours, trapping you. His face was buried between your shoulder blades and it was so easy for you to feel his regular breathing hitting your skin. 
You laughed when you couldn’t move in his strong grip. 
“Baby?..” You caressed his arm that was over your stomach. He let out a whine. 
“Jay, we will be late for work.” You turned around in his arms, pulling him from his thigh against you even more before you leaned in and pressed a kiss on your boyfriend’s neck. 
He rolled you over and got on top, making you scream. 
“Jay!!”
“Morning sex?” 
“My god, what was in your dreams?” You slapped his chest lightly. 
“You.” 
You checked the time and calculated in how many minutes you can get a shower and have breakfast and dress up after having sex. It didn’t add up that well but, you loved your boyfriend so much. 
“I can’t say no to you.” You giggled before Jay’s fingers hooked in your panties to slide them down. He already was hard from morning, and being in Jay’s existence only was enough to make you wet. 
He took his cock out of his boxers and hugged you before he plunged into you, feeling your warm velvety walls around him without a condom. Only if you knew how heavenly you felt. 
He lazily thrusted into you, it was so funny because you had to kiss his face to prevent him closing his eyes sometimes, he was still so sleepy. 
You connected your lips in a passionate kiss as you wrapped your legs around him and made him go deeper in you. 
“I love you so much.” Jay mumbled against your lips. Then he leaned to whisper in your ear. “and I love this pretty cunt. Always tight and wet for me.” 
Your cheeks got the color of literal tomato to his dirty talk all of a sudden. But you didn’t want to be defeated by your shyness. 
“Only for you, baby.” You bit down on his bottom lip and pulled it slightly between your teeth, making Jay hiss. 
“Look at me when you cum, I wanna see that pretty face of yours.” He commanded and you were only able to nod to his words. 
After a few more thrusts, you felt his cock twitching inside of you, so you knew he was so close. When he was about to pull out to cum on your stomach, you stopped him. 
He stared at you in anticipation. 
You stared at his eyes. “I want your cum.” You talked boldly, making Jay suck on his bottom lip that you were biting a few minutes ago. 
He started giving you slow but hard thrusts, never breaking eye contact. Your rosy cheeks and little droplets of sweat forming on your forehead made you look gorgeous to him. 
You reached your high before him and looked at him as you promised, 
When Jay released his high inside of you, painting your walls with his hot cum, he didn’t even want to leave your cunt. He wanted to stay there forever. 
“I love you.” He kissed your cheek lovingly. “I love you, Jay.” You beamed at his spent face. After a moment of silence he spoke up.
“Should I pull out now orrr—“
“Lift me and take us to shower please we changed the sheets yesterday.” You bossed him and it made him laugh. 
“Whatever my girl wants.”
*
At work, you never get to kiss Jay once and it was depressing you. You were missing your boyfriend so much, especially when he was sitting next to you like a snack, going through client files with his specks on. You watched him fix his tie from time to time and roll his sleeves up. How have you never realized how hot Jay was all these years? You hated yourself for it. 
You decided to meet up in the restroom while no one was looking and Jay pulled you into a cabin from your hand, locking the door behind you. 
“Hello, gorgeous.” He trapped you between himself and the wall. “Hi.” you cackled, finally kissing him after long hours for the first time. 
He bent down to kiss your neck, inhaling your scent loudly. “I missed you so much.”
“Not being able to touch you is torture.” You pouted, caressing his lean shoulders over his shirt. When you were about to kiss again, you heard footsteps coming into the restroom. 
Jay lifted you bridal style, and shushed you so no one would understand there were two people in the cabin. 
“I swear to God, I saw it with my own eyes.” You heard Heeseung talking. 
“Man, you were probably dreaming.” This was Jake who talked back to Heeseung. 
“He was kissing her on the plane!” Heeseung whined to Jake because he wasn’t believing in him. 
You and Jay looked at each other as your hand covered your mouth in shock. You saw Jay mouthing a ‘shit’ under his breath. 
“Bro, y/n hates Jay’s guts. Is this April fools?” He laughed and Heeseung rolled his eyes at his unseriousness. 
“Watch me get Jay fired with this, then you can have a laugh.” 
You opened your mouth to yell at Heeseung but Jay was so quick to cover your mouth with his own hand, shaking his head saying you no. 
“Hmm, then you can get Jay’s position and be partners with y/n.” Jake smiled as he was checking himself in the mirror. 
Heeseung sang. “Exactly.” and he left the room. 
“Wait!!! Heeseung?? What about me then?” Jake ran after him after he realized his partner was going to leave him alone.
When Jay put you down on the floor, there was a deadly silence between you two. He put his hands on his waist before he talked. 
“You are not gonna do anything about this y/n, okay?” He taunted you very seriously, you wanted to protest so badly but you were able to see how angry he was and you didn’t want to make him even more frustrated. 
But you already set your mind about what you were going to do and no one could have stopped you about it.
You had your eyes on Heeseung all day, watching his every move. You had to go to Jackson’s office before he does and talk with him. When it was almost leaving time, you got the piece of paper from the printer and made your way to your boss’ office. 
You knocked on his door and waited for him to let you in. 
“Boss? Can we talk?” 
Jackson looked at the paper in your hand, furrowing his eyebrows. “Y/n, what’s going on? Is that-” Before he was about to finish his words, the door knocked, and Jay came in. 
“Hey, boss” He said, then his eyes met with yours.  
“Y/n? What are you doing here?” He raised his eyebrows as he stared at you and your heart felt heavy when you saw the paper he was holding in his hand. 
“Jay..?” Your eyes teared up when you realized both of you were in the room to resign to be with each other. 
“Okay can someone tell me what the fuck is going on?” 
Jay mouthed you a ‘it’s okay’ before he walked up to Jackson’s desk, putting the paper in front of him.
“Boss, I fell in love with your best lawyer.” He said smiling at you, while you couldn’t hold back your tears spilling down your cheeks. “And she deserves this job just like she deserved her first in Harvard.”  
Jackson was too stunned to speak at this point, he was so confused, because he was sure you wanted to smack down each other only a month ago. 
You wiped away your tears and protested. “No! I am resigning. Keep Jay, he loves his job.” 
“Y/n I told you to do nothing about this.” He spoke between his teeth, obviously angry because you didn’t listen to him. What was he expecting though, you were always such a trouble maker since he met you. 
“Boss, I fell in love with him first, fire me.” You crossed your arms in front of yourself, raising your one eyebrow at Jay like you were dueling him. 
Jay bit the inside of his cheek. “You did?” He pouted, fluttering his eyelashes. You turned to him. “I am pretty sure, I did.” You tilted your head. Jay first acted like he was defeated but then turned back to Jackson. 
“Lies– fire me now, Boss, I am ready.”
As Jackson was about to speak his door opened again, a beautiful woman came into his room. You literally saw Jackson’s eyes sparkling when he saw her. 
“Hey, handsome.” She walked up to him and kissed him on the lips. You blinked a few times to be sure you were seeing right. You looked at Jay, seeing his face as surprised as yours. 
“Oh am I interrupting your work?” She said, giggling shyly. 
Jackson cleared his throat before he introduced you to the woman. 
“This is Mrs. Kim, the client I made you guys study on her divorce case.” After making you work on that case, Jackson asked you to give him everything you guys have found and he went to the court instead of you and won the case. The work you did was spectacular, so it was so easy for him in the court, defending the woman he once loved. 
“I need to thank you two as well then.” She smiled at you. “Everything went so smoothly, now I am with the love of my life again.” 
You choked on your spit, excusing yourself as you turned back and coughed your lungs out. 
“So you found the love of your life because of us?” Jay asked Jackson, pointing between himself and you as he did. 
This seemed like he owed you two a big thank you. 
Again, before Jason was about to talk, the door opened again and this time Heeseung rushed in. Jay sent him a deadly look. 
“Boss, I need to talk to you about something.” He said, but then saw the woman sitting on the armrest of Jackson’s chair, and Jay’s resignation letter on his desk. An annoying smile covered his face. 
“What is going on?” 
You walked up to Heeseung and pushed him from his chest. “I know that you saw us kissing on the plane, you idiot.” 
Jackson put his head between his hands. “Were you guys publicly making out on the business trip I sent you?!” 
Heeseung got rid of your grip and runned up to Jackson’s desk. “Exactly, boss. I am volunteering for Jay’s position.” 
Jay walked up to Heeseung and grabbed him from his collar this time, “You piece of shit—“
You screamed, pulling Jay to yourself from his blazer, Jake and the girls stormed into the room since they realized something was going on. 
“Enough!” Jackson yelled, standing up from his chair, making everyone look at him. Jay let go of Heeseung’s shirt in a forceful way, making him stumble a few steps back. 
“If you guys had let me speak. Just for ONCE. You would understand what I wanted to say.” He loosened his tie out of frustration. One thing about attorneys that they loved to talk, which was their best skill that comes with their job. 
“There are no more rules.” He said silently, sitting back down like it was nothing. 
“Huh?” You raised one eyebrow at your boss. 
“You heard me. Everyone is free to date whoever.” 
“But boss—“ Heeseung tried to complain but Jackson put his hand up, silencing him. 
“The love of my life was my partner too, and if I never had the courage to date her because of some stupid rule, now she wouldn’t be standing next to me.” He grabbed her by the waist and pulled her next to his side. 
“And I am not willing to lose my best attorneys just because they love each other now.” He laughed at himself. “Maybe less bickering and more kissing would make you guys work harder, who knows?” 
A stupid smile took over your face before you looked at your boyfriend and saw his pretty eyes staring at you back. You finally got the best of both worlds. 
“Now please leave my office and get back to work.” He dismissed everyone, obviously wanting to take care of his girlfriend. 
The night of the eventful day, you were over at Jay’s place for him to cook dinner for you and watch some Netflix. He made you your favorite food, and that day you found out his favorite color was purple. 
“Baby, do you remember Harvard forums, where they write loads of shit about graduates anonymously?” You asked, as Jay was laying on your lap and you played with his hair. 
“Hmm, I do of course, why?” He asked, getting more comfortable on your lap as his hand grabbed your upper leg. 
You snorted. “I swear to God, there was an entry about someone wanting us to fuck each other on our graduation day… Now I am thinking maybe they were right about us.” 
Jay giggled against your skin. “So you’re saying everyone knew we actually didn’t hate each other, we thought we did because we admired each other so badly, it hurted our egos and turned into hate.”
“Oh my god!” You slapped his shoulder. “You are right!” 
Jay laughed, “Do you wanna put an entry now?” He laid on his back to look up at you. You nodded in an eager way. 
Jay got his laptop from his room and got back on the couch with you, the movie you put on long forgotten. 
“So, what are we gonna write?” He asked, tapping his fingers on the keyboard nonchalantly. 
“Just write your worst enemy can be the person you are deeply in love with and then add our names.” You said smiling, tucking a piece of hair behind his hair. Jay turned his head and kissed your hand before he started writing what you said to him. 
That night when you were cuddled into each other and sleeping peacefully, a notification sound came from Jay’s phone, but none of you heard it because of how deep you were sleeping in each other's arms, knowing there were no obstacles holding you back from loving each other freely. 
The notification was a reply to Jay’s entry on Harvard’s forum: 
-THEY FINALLY FUCKED I CAN DIE PEACEFULLY NOW. <3

Itzy as the 5 love languages
Tumblr media
(This was harder than i thought since i think some of them have more than one 😭)
Disclaimers! Bad grammar, Not Proofread
Paring: Itzy x Reader (separate)
Masterlist: GG,   BG
YEJI - Words of Affirmation
Tumblr media
(YOU AS A IDOL)
I think words of affirmation really suits her mainly because she’s the leader of itzy.
If you’re the 6th member she will extra complement you on your progress if it’s for dancing and/or singing.
If you’re on a diet and you’re forcing yourself to not eat she would probably say how beautiful you are and praise your body while kissing, she would also say just because your on a diet doesn’t mean you can’t eat anything.
She would randomly say “I love you” in your ear no matter where you guys are
If you forgot a line or dance part she would be okay with it and say you did a good job anyways.
(YOU’RE NOT A IDOL)
She would always say/text ‘i love you’ to you everyday no mater what.
if you think like how did someone ugly as me have a girlfriend like you, Ryujin seems like someone better for you, etc. She would literally cancel her schedule for that day (If she can) and literally go off on a 70 page essay about Why she chose you to be her girlfriend and how she doesn’t deserve you. 
She would say certain things on stage it’s a code that you guys made up so she can mention you without anyone knowing .
LIA - Acts of Service 
Tumblr media
(YOU AS AN IDOL)
She would totally help you with your lines and dancing.
If you start singing and then start coughing she would give you her water.
She would give you her seat.
Shares a blanket so you can cover your legs
would give you her jacket if your cold or wearing a relieving outfit for a performance
Would bake you something to eat.
(YOU’RE NOT A IDOL)
If she had a break and you just got back from school/work she would offer you a relaxing bath, bake for you ,and maybe even a message
 She would totally help you with chores
and buy you sweets and clothes
RYUJIN - Quality Time
Tumblr media
(YOU AS AN IDOL)
Would totally do lives with you
She would hold your hand where the camera can’t see it
Would make you sit in her lap 
Will give kisses off camera 
Gets snacks at a convenient store with you at midnight so you guys won’t get caught
Drive you places like the aquarium and theme parks
would take you to a cafe 
(YOU’RE NOT A IDOL)
cuddle with you while watching a movie
will get snacks with you if she has time
she loves doing stuff with you since you guys barely have time together
will take places to go shopping, shopping, and for fun
CHAERYEONG - Physical Touch
Tumblr media
(YOU AS AN IDOL)
loves giving you hugs when you do something right like finishing the choreography or something
holds your every time when you guys are at music awards to see if your comeback song is going to win
LOVES holding your hand, your hand is hers now
kisses your cheek randomly
kisses your hand when she is holding it
(YOU’RE NOT A IDOL)
CUDDLES
cuddles are must since you guys don’t have a lot of alone
loves giving and receiving hugs from behind
hold your hand when you guys go out
kisses all over your body
I read that sex also plays a part in physical touch but i don’t write that stuff so y'all can imagine
YUNA - Gifts
Tumblr media
(Yuna only got this since she was the last one)
(YOU AS AN IDOL)
She is both on the giving and receiving side but more on the receiving end
If you get her snacks she obviously gives you something as a thank you
gets you guys water during dance practice
you both offer each other for lunch 
if you got presents from her on your birthday or something she will totally ask you to brag about it or post it on Instagram
If she got something from you she would brag about to the members and Instagram
will get matching necklaces for yourself 
(YOU’RE NOT A IDOL)
More on the giving side
would give you tickets to their concert
if you're a big fan then she would totally pull some strings to get you their albums and make sure she can put most of her inclusions in it
If you go to their concert and your backstage and  give her flowers she is so thankful
would offer you on dates 
totally get you matching stuff
I hope you like it. The requests are always open:)

Who are your favorite groups and biases in those groups?
Hmmmm... I'm gonna go right for my ults. ITZY is a long time favorite of mine and it doesn't help since Yeji and Ryujin are both my ults... 😍 love those girls.
Short form: (I don't mean to be reductive its just so this isn't an essay long)
Not in order
IVE - Wonyoung and Yujin
LE SSERAFIM - Chaewon (close to being ult)
TWICE - MISAMO
fromis_9 - Saerom and Hayoung
aespa - Karina and Ningning
NMIXX - Sullyoon and Lily
ARTMS/Odd Eye Circle - Jinsoul and Kim Lip
(G)I-DLE - Minnie and Yuqi
Red Velvet - Seulgi
Dreamcatcher - Yoohyeon
VIVIZ - Umji
Everglow - Yiren
ok... there's a lot more than I thought but it works... I guess? I listen to a lot more groups but I'd say that these groups are my favorite. I also like IZ*ONE and a lot of their members but I got into them after they disbanded 😭

trying to guess stray kids rising signs because i’m bored
(wrote a whole essay for hyunjins because his chart is to confusing) ALSO I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL. THIS IS JUST SOMETHING FUN I WANTED TO DO. also probably some grammar mistakes i’m sorry😪
bangchan- confirmed gemini rising!❤️it really comes out when he has to talk in award shows and or interviews because he’s always given me a very social person (i hope that makes sense)
lee know- confirmed gemini or scorpio rising (i feel like he’s more of a gemini rising) even though they are more know to be sociable (like i said for bangchan) i think his HEAVY SCORPIO PLACEMENTS makes him much more of a quiet person when it comes to meeting new people.
changbin-taurus rising. i know he gives off scorpio rising to a lot of people but he’s never given me the intense aura scorpios do (i mean you can usually tell when someone has scorpio placements in their chart) he’s always given me that very approachable, cancer like energy. which could come from his cancer mercury. so to go with that i would say taurus or maybe (very unlikely though) cancer rising.
hyunjin- okay. this is the one i keep going all over the place for. because, depending on the time. he could be a libra moon, and even more instead of a pisces sun, a aries sun. (if they do a fancall someone please ask him for his birth time 😪) i’m just going to say, i did consider him a taurus rising at one point but it just didn’t fit to me. he’s very hard working like one but i think it comes from his virgo moon. he doesn’t really give me a leo rising either. (i know his hair is a big thing but still, he’s never given me that. besides people talk about his hair more than he does himself.) personally, i think he’s a sagittarius rising or cancer rising. while i don’t think his midheaven is in virgo (he definitely has a fire sign mid heaven, but maybe it’s just the mars in aries, possible aries sun, or even the possible fire sign rising in him making me think that) i think he fits more of a cancer rising. his midheaven would be in aries which, to me makes more sense than virgo if he was a sagittarius rising. midheaven is usually all about career, so with his aries midheaven he’s very firery on stage, which is very true! also cancers are know for their rounder faces like the moon, (example itzy’s chaeryeong) and sometimes hyunjins face seems rounder (mainly in predebut photos/ videos.) plus his visuals are very soft, which could come from all that pisces in him!😭 this is to hard with so many factors to consider. (if you couldn’t tell i have a cancer moon and rising😭)
han-okay, i can only picture han with TWO rising signs. aquarius or leo. honestly after hyunjin, his rising sign is so confusing for me too… he has the possible chance to have the exact same chart as felix but they give really different vibes in the way that i know that han is a pisces moon. someone please ask them for their birth times!!
felix-maybe it’s the libra mercury and venus BUT, he just gives me libra rising. in interviews a lot he’s much more calm, with still having a personality that makes everyone wanna be around him. i’m sorry i don’t know any libras so this might not be accurate for him and chan! my second guess is cancer. i don’t have an explanation for this one but i get that vibe off of him too. (like hyunjin)
seungminn-okay so. majority of the placements in our charts are trine (besides our conjunct moons and his venus being libra with mine in pisces) i don’t why i had to mention that but i did.😭 but with that said i can only see seungmin with three rising signs: taurus, gemini, sagittarius. i know a a few people with sagittarius placements and they act like him so much it’s crazy😭 with taurus, he is really calm! i have never seen him get crazy all that much. which is the same thing i have seen with alot of taurus risings (example seulgi from red velvet, i don’t see her ever get to loud) and with gemini, again i don’t know i just wouldn’t be surprised if he was like a lot people in stray kids.
i.n-okay, three options again. sagittarius, capricorn, or aries. with aries it might be his aries venus but i know a lot of aries and they act just like him (karina from ��spa also has a aries venus and you can see it with her cancer moon but that’s a story for another) he’s usually, well specially during video on the skz chanel, doing his own thing and keeping to himself. which i have noticed a lot of people with aries placements do. now with sagittarius, again i don’t have a explanation for this one, just gut feelings (i am no professional in astrology just have to clarify). capricorn, again that independence, and also very down to earth like one. edit: nevermind i can see him being a taurus rising, idk why but i js thought of it
that’s it!!❤️ i’ll probably redo it once i learn about more rising signs. also if you like, ask me to do other groups or just ask me abt stuff in general! i’ll try my best to do it. might do a girl group, won’t say which one though!!! BYEEE🤭

My Current Top 10 Itzy Songs
Context: I've been a fan since I first saw the Icy dance practice in late 2019, but I became a superfan with the release of Wannabe and haven't looked back since--well, except for a slight moment of hesitation with the release of MITM, but the delightful Crazy In Love album brought me back!!
I'm in the process of designing my dream Itzy comeback, like @nayeonline did! [link to their post] I wanted to share this top ten list first, so y'all have an idea of what kinds of songs I love most from these ladies! See, no matter how much I trash-talk Itzy's music (sorry, Not Shy, I was too mean to you for far too long), I really do love SO MANY of their songs--I only criticize some of their tracks as passionately as I do because the highs of their discography are soooo high for me. So let's talk about them!
1. Nobody Like You
Itzy are rock stars in my heart <3 Anything with them + a guitar brings me sooo much joy! Also, the second verse is SO pretty, it's what drew me to the song right from the day the album sampler was released :)
2. Wannabe
I don't think there's any other choice for my favorite Itzy title track--I'd be surprised if anyone has a favorite other than Wannabe. I really have to do an essay about this era one day...
3. Ting Ting Ting (with Oliver Heldens)
This song is totally just trolling all of us! I HATED it for that during the first few months after it came out, but now I don't mind at all--I'm completely in love with it, and all of its weird production choices! I love when songs make me laugh, because I don't find too many of those out there, and the prechorus in this one always gets at least a giggle out of me (JUST LISTEN FOR THE WEIRD GRUNTING SOUND IN THE INSTRUMENTAL WHAT EVEN IS THAT ITS BEEN THREE YEARS AND I CANT STOP LAUGHING ABOUT IT)
4. Icy
Yes, I'm THAT guy who likes Icy more than Dalla Dalla. I know minimalistic choruses are overdone nowadays, but this basic chorus format is so well-suited to such a charismatic group--they carry the energy of the song so well!
5. Be In Love
What did I say about me when Itzy + guitar? This song makes me soooooooo sentimental.
6. That's a No No
There are tracks I like more than this from the Wannabe album, but I'm sure this is my most-listened track from that comeback--most days, its infectious, chaotic energy is exactly what I need to get by :)
7. #Twenty
(This one and above are in the category of songs I would die for btw!!) Look, I just LOVE mean girl music! This is a song that barely manages to hold itself together--luckily, it has the Itzy members to give it some semblance of being a... something? (Whatever it is, I can't help but sing along, so here we are.)
8. Cherry
Minimalistic choruses for the win! Again, their charisma really gets to shine here.
9. Loco
Look, I know Itzy aren't anywhere near the best vocalists out there, but they sound SO strong on this song! I think it's one of their best vocally, and Itzy really is one of the first groups that comes to mind when I think about my favorite vocalists. So I love this one :)
10. Love Is
Yay, a sentimental coming-of-age movie pop ballad thing! I've heard better examples of this vibe (see: Playing Games by Anna of the North), but this still makes me feel Feelings, so I come back to it quite a bit!
Honorable Mentions: It'z Summer, 24 Hours, 365 (it's become a comfort song lately! so i don't hate it anymore hehe), Domino, Cake (it's CATCHY go away), None of My Business

Yknow the "Itzy changed their brand!" whining always make me laugh because no one has been truer to the debut stuff that people loved from them, so consistently I can pair them up:
The fun rebel summer:
The fun Do What I Want summer:
The darker alluring concept:
The fun in your face love concept:
The self-defining beat-heavy confidence concept:
And the best part is I can keep mixing and matching! Untouchable also next to In the Morning or Cheshire for the step in vocals, the taunting in the lyrics? Cake next to Wannabe for not giving a damn? Not Shy next to Sneakers for a simple track that emphasizes an easy-going flow?
Don't even get me started on the b-sides and literally growing up with your favs as they mature vocally and in their song concepts, and-- MM THE ESSAYS INSIDE OF ME ITZY BRINGS OUT 😘🤌
Love that! Love them! Any other group switches concepts twenty million times and their fanbase is loyal don't say you want consistency from concepts you don't! You love your favs for being your favs and having their unique touch to what they do!

hello world :)))
studyblr (re)introduction.
i used to lurk in the shadows as an inactive studyblr account but now that i'm a university student i want to team up and make friends :D
about me
i'm aleixandre, i use she/her pronouns and i'm studying robotic engineering. i'm only on my first year so there's a lot i have yet to learn !!
my degree involves chemistry, physics, a lot of maths and programming, for now.
i'm from spain, so i speak spanish as well. i'm not interested in the language side of the community but if anyone wants to chat in spanish i'm open to it. also, if i make any mistakes in english i blame it on not being a native speaker lol.
what do i plan to use this account for?
i'm looking for people in the stem community so we can complain about how our degree is so so hard together :) and also to see how is it like to study engineering at other places/countries.
i'll post cute pictures from time to time, but i'm not all that focused on aesthetics. i'm messy at heart but i like toying with image edition :)
i like poetry and essays too, so i'll share quotes/articles about learning and academia that i find around.
lastly, i'd like to take part in productivity challenges and other commmunity activities, if only to connect with more people :D. i study a lot anyways so i might as well share it with the rest of the class !!
misc
i listen to a lot of music and i like making connections/web weaving !! some of my favourites are
° argentinian urban music (which doesn't feel like most people in the studyblr community are into, but it's like. really mainstream stuff lol),
° kpop groups such as itzy (the girl in my profile picture is ryujin!) , xdinary heroes, stray kids, [g]idle or nmixx.
°sad girl classics, aha, like fiona apple and mitski
° and... a lot i don't feel like individually mentioning but can't sort into categories either. they will come up in my blog though :))
i also watch anime sporadically. i'm currently obsessed obsessed obsessed with chainsaw man !!!
i was told i should be more participative in class so i'll try my best to put myself out there too. people usually tag people here but the blogs i used to follow (main is @originz, i follow from there btw) are mostly dead so if anyone from the stemblr community wants to be buddies it'd be great ?? if you read till the end you get my gratitude <3
see you around!
