Ravi

sometimes he doesn’t leave his apartment for days. you can tell because his mailbox overflows but you can hear the music from his apartment for like a week straight,,,,,,,and then sometimes you’ll see him leaving his place at like 3 am dressed like he’s going to a Very Fancy club

“it’s the life of a composer,,,,,,,i don’t sleep for like ever and when i finish i have to go and get drunk with the person who paid me to write the song”

his apartment is essentially his recording studio, all the instruments and his computer are in the living room and it’s so crowded he bumps into his piano everytime he tries to get to the kitchen

likes collecting those little lego figurines and they’re like everywhere. on his computer, above his microwave, probably in his bathroom near his shampoo

wears some,,,,,,,,interesting outfits that always become the talk of the block

likes to try and keep everything clean but at some point he’s so into work he doesn’t realize he’s spilled cola under his desk chair and the laundry hasn’t been done since hyuk got a solo i mean what now

you know ravi is a composer,,,,but you aren’t really sure what that entails

until your best friend hakyeon, who happens to be close to ravi is over at your place and is handing a list that is titled “how to keep ravi alive” and you’re like what

and hakyeon is like,,,,im going on a trip to europe for a month and usually i check in on ravi when he writes but i won’t be here and everyone is busy and i need to make sure he at least eats something,,,,but i can’t so please,,,,,,,,,,,,,,do this for me

and you wanted to refuse at first because you don’t even know ravi

but hakyeon is a sweet person and he promises he’ll come back with something nice from europe for you so you decide fine, how hard can it be to just check up on a person

TURNS OUT when it’s ravi it is kind of hard

because the first day you literally come into his home and try to introduce yourself 4 times before you realize he’s so sucked into his computer he can’t even hear you

you check his fridge and there’s just,,,,,some old wine and like???? take out that smells Suspicious

and you throw it out and come out of the kitchen to tell ravi he needs to eat but then he looks up at you and screams because hOw DID you gET in here,,,,,and you’re like IVE BEEN HERE FOR HALF AN HOUR and ravi is like?????? i never noticed

but he apologizes as soon as you explain what hakyeon told you and he’s like embarrassingly rubbing his neck like,,,,oh don’t listen to hyung im fine on my own

but you think about his refrigerator and how sunken-in his eyes look from probably not having sleep and you’re like ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,no i think hakyeon was right you need someones help

so you grocery shop and you buy coffee, red bull, energy supplements - whatever he needs to stay up

and hakyeon is only gone for a month but in that month you get to know ravi better than most people

how he works tirelessly, day and night, on 5 seconds of a song. how he gets angry with himself for not being able to write a melody. how he refuses to sleep until he’s met his goal

and the perseverance and creativity in him really shocks you because wow,,,,you’ve been living next to such a hard-working and talented person and you never even knew it

but also ravi you’ve worn those basketball shorts 4 days in a row take them off please

at one point you asked if ravi had brushed his teeth and he said something you couldn’t even understand so you went to the bathroom, came back with his brush and a cup of water and were like “open up”

and ravi was like ????? and you were like “ill brush your teeth while you work”

and it was,,,,,,,,,,oddly very intimate

and ravi may or may not have suffered like (3) mini heart-attacks

but when hakyeon comes back and ravi is done with his song you revert back to being,,,,,,just neighbors

until ravi needs to shut himself in for work again and you get a call from hakyeon where he’s like “you need to know something, ive been trying to make sure ravi is ok this past week but he keeps calling me by your name and when i tell him hello - im hakyeon he lets out a deep sigh and long story short i think ravi grew an attachment to you”

and you’re like??????? me????? but also,,,,,,,,you can’t help but smile a little

and you go next door and let yourself in and you’re like “ravi?” and you see he’s asleep with his head on his desk and you go over to get a blanket to cover him with but when you do, tucking it around his shoulders

you hear him murmur something low and you lean in closer and hear him say thank you along with your name

and when you come back to check on him again in a couple hours he’s awake and seeing you, it makes him actually stand up from his computer (something he does not do often when he works)

and he’s glowing, his sharp features all turning soft as he sees you

and you’re like “hakyeon told me you missed me” and ravi is like “AH,,,,well,,,,,,,kind of,,,,,i just,,,hakyeon nags at me and you were nice to me-”

and you get this smug look on your face and ravi is faltering under it and you’re like “here i brought some fruits over for you to snack on, but also -”

and you press a paper slip into his palm and ravi’s eyes widen and you’re like “it’s my number, so you can call me instead of hakyeon”

and you don’t see it as you go into the kitchen with the fruit but ravi literally gathers what little energy he has to do a little happy shimmy dance

and he tapes your number to the side of his computer screen and whenever he looks at it he gets this goofy grin on his face,,,,,,,,,because hehe,,,,,,,i have my crush’s number,,,,,

Hongbin

only person in vixx who makes his bed in the morning

lives a pretty simple and clean life, likes consistency and has one of those big calendars on his wall where he writes down all his future plans and probably even has like a workout schedule

park hyo shin album shrine in his bedroom complete with framed autograph

the type to have like candles ,,,,,,, that are in the shapes of like flowers it’s cute

bunnies have always reminded me of hongbin so maybe if he lived apart from vixx he’d have one that he jokingly names like wonshik but no no it’s real name is something cute like whatever the korean is for like carrot soup or something LOL

idk why but he likes pastel polka dots imagine him with pastel polka dot bed sheets he’s such a cute person

people are always surprised that he doesn’t have like,,,,,one billion mirrors in his house because like how can one Not look at a face like that

but in reality those kind of things make hongbin really shy,,,,,,like he’s just like,,,,im not handsome and everyone in the building is like IF that isn’t the biggest lie i have Ever heard with my own two ears

everyone in the neighborhood has a crush on him. it’s unavoidable. it’s hongbin fever

you’ve lived next door to him for a longtime so you guys are pretty familiar with each other,,,,,but the problem is everytime he meets one of your friends. they fall for him

and end up begging to come over just for a glimpse of him and then when they try to ask him out

hongbin awkwardly like ,,,,makes up an excuse as to why he can’t date them and they get sad and you’ve seen this happen five times and you’re just like ?????????? what is his type ????? what is he looking for???

but you’re not gonna ask him that because well like That’s Rude

but one night you actually end up over at his place because your tv broke,,,,and the premire of your favorite drama is on and hongbin was kind enough to let you in to watch it

and during a long commercial break you look down to see hongbin sitting at the table, writing down something and you decide that hey you’ll never have another chance to be alone like this with him

so you lower the volume a bit and you’re like “can i ask you something?”

and he nods without looking up and you’re like,,,,,, “ive lived across from you for like four years and ive never seen you,,,,,,,with someone,,,,that wasn’t from your friend group and this is probably super invasive but - are you seeing someone?”

and hongbin’s eyes go wide and he like looks up in silence

and you’re like “,,,,,,is it like an arranged marriage thing????? am i asking too much this is rude im sor-”

and hongbin shakes his head and is like “no,,,,,i just,,,,,,,,,” and you’re like ?????? and he kind of sadly laughs

and is like “,,,,,the person i like hasn’t come to a realization yet.”

and you’re shocked because hongbin. prince of your neighborhood. actual living art is harboring a one-sided love????

and you can’t help yourself you’re like “who is that blind? i mean,,,,,,,,anyone who looks at you is enchanted”

and hongbin laughs because that’s what he does. compliments make him shy

but then you go back to watching your drama and you don’t notice hongbin has stopped writing and suddenly you hear in a very quiet voice: “were you,,,,,,enchanted by me?”

and you look down at him and you’re like “are you asking if i liked you?”

and hongbin swallows a lump in his throat but builds up the courage to nod his head and you’re like “of course,,,,,,but i knew it was a longshot i mean ,,,,,,,,do you know how popular you are? it’s like falling for an idol-”

but suddenly hongbin is up and he’s like “don’t say that.” and you’re like is he embarrassed??????whats going on??????

but he just takes a seat next to you and he’s like “it’s you,,,,you’re the one i wanted to confess to me.”

and you’re so shocked,,,,,,you literally drop the remote and hongbin is getting red the longer you stare at him wide-eyed

until you’re like looking over at the tv and the drama is a kissing scene and then you look back at hongbin and you’re red now too

and you’re both red and there’s kissing in the background but you know what there should be some kissing in this apartment too

because you both like each other so why not

but when you do kiss him you’re like wait. wait. is this real did i fever dream this-

and hongbin takes your hand and puts it on his face and he’s like “it’s real.”

Hyuk

big tall meme

who can’t figure out how to cook a meal for himself but can reboot a computer and probably fix your tv in less than ten minutes

for the sake of this au,,,,hyuk is Nerd. as in his whole apartment is full of like action figures and comic books and video games and dirty socks and,,,,,half eaten bags of potato chips, opened cans of redbull

your usual college boy whose friends are all part of the e-sports club at school like c’mon

of course how could i forget, his movie collection of sci-fi alien flicks is the only thing that’s organized on his bookshelf

everyone in the building comes to him for help like the ladies need help with their broken microwaves and hairdryers while the dads don’t get why their son managed to break the new computer (hyuk looking at the sticky keyboard: uh,,,,)

and he does it for free for elders but the teenagers who go to him to learn how to game or upgrade their setups he’s like “my work isn’t cheap. 20 bucks an hour on nothing.”

hakyeon: stop pandering from teenagers

hyuk: ,,,,,,i have no idea what you are talking about *hiding his piggy bank which literally says ‘money from gamer nerdz’ jokes jokes

you know hyuk is handy with,,,,,electric stuff and whatnot so when your lights go out in the middle of the night even though you paid all your utilities like last week,,,,you know the man to go to

and when hyuk opens the door you’re like “whats up, my lights are out and im not sure if it’s a fuse box thing or -”

and hyuk is like “i got you let me come over”

but as you’re walking through the hall of your apartment you realize, you don’t have a flashlight and you’re like my phone is somewhere on my sofa,,,,,let me fell around

but you have literally zero light and it’s night out and you think you’re heading toward your sofa but you feel something soft standing in your way

and you’re like touching it and you’re like it’s soft,,,,but hard???

and warm????

wait is that t-shirt

and you’re like hold up

“hyuk??? am i touching you????”

hyuk: “yep”

you: “why didn’t you stop me what th-”

hyuk: “it was fine, i liked it.”

and you turn pink, thankful for the lights off and want to swat his hand but you don’t know where that is until you feel his hand take your wrist

and he takes his phone out of his pocket and shines it on you and you’re like heY

and he’s like “hehe cute” and you’re like excuse me what

and hyuk is like “nothing, lead the way”

and when you get to the fuse box you hold the phone and see hyuk work with the wires. you notice the light shading his handsome face, a set jawline and wow,,,,his height????

and you’re like this is the first time im looking at hyuk and going ‘he’s hot’ what the HECK is wrong with me

and hyuk finishes in under five minutes and all your lights turn back on and he smiles

and it’s so,,,,,cute his nose is adorable did you just notice that??? why are you having all of these thoughts about your neighbor??

and he’s like “all done. how’d you like to pay me?”

and you’re like “i think i have some cash- but,,,,”

and hyuk grins because he’s like “yes,,,,,i don’t want cash”

and you’re like oh,,,,,,,,and you’re like “ok lean down-”

and hyuk does super duper excited that he’s about to get a kiss

but instead you pinch his cheek and go “ill order us pizza, don’t think im easy han sanghyuk.”

and with that you turn around and hyuk is just like: that was sexy

you: shuttup what kind of toppings do you want?

Update after a long absence!

Hey everybody! I’m not dead!

It’s been -way- too long since Ive posted an update. Figured I should explain why. Its been mostly a silence due to shame over lack of productivity. For the last 6 months or so it’s be so difficult to get the writing i want to do done. I’d have weeks where I couldn’t get into a grove, and when I did manage to get something written it was way shorter than i wanted to. I would sometimes spend days thinking of how i wanted to write that next bit of text. I’m not the first person to struggle with writers block, nor will i be the last. Hell, this is a long project so i expect it will strike again sometimes. I haven’t posted because I didn’t want an endless stream of posts of “oh i didn’t write much this past week”. But I’m here now so that must mean something has changed, right! Yes actually! I’ve recovered my Mojo so it seems. I figured it would be appropriate to share some of the things that i feel have helped me get back on track. The holidays were really bad for getting creative work done for me. There was just too much chaos on top of already annoying writers block issues. I don’t liek being interrupted, so having my week thrown off by having to plan around family events really sucked. In January i started making some changes. The first thing i did, and i think one of the biggest changes i made was to create a google spreadsheet. On that spreadsheet I put a bunch of tasks that I wanted to aim to get done every day. One of those(and the most relevant one) is to get at least 1 page or 500 words written every day. That’s into a difficult goal. It’s a small one that’s easy to achieve so that hopefully once I’m in the groove, I can get much more than that amount written. The keeping track is mostly so I can see trends where productivity is suffering and actually try to adjust for them rather than sweep them under the rug. The numbers here hurt, but don’t lie. In January I completed my 1 page/500 words goal on 9 days out of 31. Ouch. That hurt me to count. That’s hardly inspiring. Whats worse is that often that was barely meeting that goal. But... BUT, lets look at February so far. it’s 2/13/2018 (well, technically it’s the 14th, but for writing purposes, since i haven’t gone to bed yet, it’s still the 13th.). There have been 13 days so far and of those 13 days Ive completed my writing goal on 9 of those days. That. Is. So. Much. Better. AND having that streak inspires me and tells me that I can keep writing even more. Whats even better is that many of those days I wrote well over the minimum goals (like 1000 words or 6 pages). This past week I had a day where I wrote 1700 words, and another where I wrote 1500. Today, including the words in this post I wrote over 2200 words(only 1000 without this post, haha). The chart has helped me so much. It’s given me encouragement when Ive been doing well, and through shame it’s exposed what i knew but wasn't giving proper respect to. A long stretch of red colored “No”s has been a really powerful motivator. That’s not the only thing that I think has helped. At the beginning of this month I had kind of a realization. The stuff I was struggling to write was basically filler. Sure, I had intended it to have character building and plot points in it but ultimately it was filler. I had put it in the outline because my brain said “oh these needs to be a time gape here, so something needs to happen.” I may have been right still, but sitting down and trying to write something just to kill time in the story isn’t good fro meeting my writing goals. So i started skipping those parts and getting to the stuff that is most important to the story. One of the big hurdles for writing those scenes is that they’ll require extensive rewrite because i already know so many things i want to change for draft 3. So it becomes this balancing act “okay so i write it like this, but write it with this new plot point in mind because you going to change it”. It may be that i have to write these sections anyway later, but I’ll have the benefit of the larger story being complete and those plot points I want to add being built. It will take so much less mental effort on my part once that is done. The past week Ive been writing some of the most powerful emotional moments in the book and it has been so... Refreshing to write the scenes again. To feel the impact. They need work but i think Ive given it a good base. Being able to write the important scenes that Ive seen in my head for the past year and a half has been great. One thing that has been great for my writing, but maybe not so much great for my sleep cycle is changing my writing time to be after 10PM. Like I said I don’t like being interrupted, so picking a time where the only people calling or texting me while I’m writing are either drunk or in an emergency is really liberating. I’ve heard that a lot of other writers do similar things (writing either really late, or really early.). Maybe it will work for you. Dungeons and Dragons has been a super important activity for me. When i completed Nanowrimo last November i had just come off of running a year long story oriented campaign. I think that’s what allowed me to finish the 50k words in a month. After that I haven't run a campaign since then. I didn’t want to split my creative energies. i didn’t want to “waste time” preparing for DnD when I should be writing my book. I was playing in a friends game for the past year but not running one. Then i made the realization at the beginning of the year that I wasn’t getting the creative stuff done and I wasn’t doing something that I really enjoy doing. It was then that some friends bugged me about starting a game for them. I caved and set a start date for February 3rd. The first session went amazing and the next one is this Saturday. I’m running them Bi-weekly trading off every other week with my friend. The chart helped me get onto a schedule, but i think running and planning for DnD again has given me a huge boost to my creativity and creative endurance. When you’re running DnD you don’t get to slack off and say “I’ll finish that scene tomorrow”. You’re players are right there and need a description, or ruling *right now*. this is a great skill to have when writing. The ability to just decide on a detail or event right now is invaluable. I’m a story teller at heart. That why I want to write this book: Because I have a story I think is worth telling.

There are some other smaller things (but important) of a more personal nature, but I don’t want to put them out into the wide public but if you’re curious feel free to message me.

If you made it this far, then thank you so much for reading!
