"BTS' Jeon Jungkook rumored to be dating stripper from nightclub!"

"Jungkook is no longer single, ladies!"

"Jeon Jungkook is dating a stripper? Why the hell is he doing that?"

"Who the hell does she think she is? I bet she's not even pretty."

"Jungkook fell for a stripper? Out of all people? Damn, and I thought he was better than that."

Jungkook has been tired, the rumors constantly being spread day in and day out. But, it still didn't mean he was gonna say shit to prove himself to people out there. He didn't need to give anybody answers. Hell, this was strictly between you and him and that's how he wants to keep it.

Fuck every single one of you who didn't wanna be behind him and support him. Don't even think about calling yourself a fan of his if that's your mindset.

He could truly care less. He was happy and he felt ten times better than he has in a really long time. It's unfortunate how people love to stay narrow minded. The only thing that bothered him was the fact that it was so unfair for you - how they stuck to that stripper image, rather than really getting to know you beneath the surface.

But it's not like anyone else deserved to know the real you, not after all this shit. And he was gonna keep it that way, and protect you.

"Hey, don't listen to any of that shit, okay?" Jungkook says as he meets you in your car in the BigHit building garage. "None of that matters to me."

"I know, but Kook." You look at him. "Your career, BigHit literally might not even want me here and-and—"

"Then I'll make sure they understand it's not an issue, because it's really fucking not." He says, getting irritated only at the thought of the company giving him issues over you. He watches as you slightly frown, causing him to sigh and soften his own facial expression. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get worked up like that. It's just annoying how people are narrow-minded. This has absolutely nothing to do with you." You give him a small smile. "Come on, I'll walk you." You silently nod and hop out of your car. You follow beside him, your stomach in knots having to meet with their performance director. This meant you'd also most likely run into the rest of Bangtan.

In which happens to turn true pretty quickly.

"Jungkookie!" Hoseok says loudly down the hallway as he approaches the both of you. He does nothing besides smile, curiosity definitely filling his eyes.

"This is Y/N. Y/N, Hoseok hyung." He holds out his hand for you to shake, his head tilting ever so slightly because you know he's familiar with your face. He's just trying to remember from where. Or, he has recognized you, but he's trying his hardest not to say anything.

Cause they have seen all of you, especially in that fishnet bodysuit.

"Hi! Nice to meet you! You can call me Hobi for short. Are you meeting with someone?" You nod.

"Yeah." Is all you can reply with as you shyly tuck a strand of hair behind your ear.

"Nice, goodluck!"

"Is everyone else here?" Jungkook asks, making Hobi nod.

"Yeah, but they're still running through some stuff in the dance studio. I just ran off to take a break."

"Okay." Jungkook looks at you. "Follow me, he's in one of the private studio rooms." You both part ways from Hoseok, the need to clutch onto Jungkook's arm immensely strong right now. You hold yourself off though, because even with passing a few female staff members, you catch them looking at you oddly with the way you're walking side by side with Jungkook.

Nope. Don't even think about it, Y/N. It doesn't matter.

Jungkook knocks softly on a door, the middle of it being made up of entirely frosted glass so it's difficult to see inside. Their performance director opens the door swiftly and welcomes you in with a warm smile, stepping aside to let you in.

"I've got it from here, Jungkookie. Thank you." Jungkook nods but tries to peek through the door to get one last glimpse of your face before he shuts it fully. "How are you doing, Y/N?" He sits in front of you, leaning onto his knees with his hands fully clasped together.

"I'm good. How are you?"

"Good, tired." He chuckles. "Thanks for taking my call earlier and for meeting at such short notice on a weekend. I had a couple of things come up and didn't want to push things off until later." You smile.

"It's no problem."

"Jungkook tells me a lot about you."

"Does he now?" You chuckle and tilt your head to the side.

"Says you're a really good person. Super hardworking. Told me a little bit about your situation with your brother."

"Mmyeah, it's a little complicated."

"It's alright, no need to get into the details." He smiles before letting out a small sigh. "It's incredibly rare for me to hear Jungkook speak like that. In general. He's usually very closed off, doesn't like to let people in much. He really respects you, you know? Cares about you a whole lot." You slightly blush.

"I'm still getting used to it." He chuckled.

"Look, I know you've been worrying because of where you've been and all that, but I want to reassure you that none of it matters. I don't like to focus on all that. You're here as you, not her." He says, putting another pronoun to your stripper persona.

"Thank you, I appreciate it." He nods. There's a small pause before he begins to speak again.

"I could really use some help around here if you're still interested? The boys are becoming a lot for me to handle."

"Ah-uh, yeah! Of course I am." You found yourself stuttering at the sudden offer. Was this fucking real?! "But, you are aware of where me and Jungkook are at, right?" You ask, trying to be completely transparent and honest about their relationship. He nods and waves his hand out.

"As long as you keep it professional here, right?" You nod.

"Right."

"Come, let me show you around really quickly and have you formally meet the boys." You swallowed the lump in your throat. Fucking great. He definitely didn't know they've all seen your titties and pussy out during Yoongi's birthday, and now here you were - about to meet them again in this environment. Hobi was awkward enough even though he tried not to be.

Surprisingly, Jungkook wasn't waiting outside in the hallway like you thought he would be, but the tour commences and the PD is taking you around pretty quickly. You feel even more awkward and somewhat alone [even though you weren't] without Jungkook nearby, but you chug along and say your hello's to the people you're introduced to. He finally brings you into the dance studio, where there's loud ass music blasting, Jungkook, the boys and some backup dancers in front of the mirrors fooling around.

"Aye boys, come here real quick." You and Jimin lock eyes and your body suddenly gets tense. The room feels 10x hotter than it already is, especially when he slowly walks over and clenches his jaw. He is literally seeping with hate right now, maybe actually disgust, and he doesn't even try to hide it. Most of them for sure recognize you, but they seem to brush it off and give you a big wave/smile anyway.

"Last, that's Jimin - Jimin, Y/N." You give Jimin a fake smile, and the only thing his ass can reciprocate is the smallest, tight-lipped smile you have ever seen. You've never even seen your mom do that when she got mad or upset with you.

"Hi." Is all you can say.

"Sup." He looks at you before turning on his heel and walking away.

"Ooookay?" Namjoon furrows his brows as he watches Jimin walk away so rudely. "The hell was that about?"

"I knew that was Kookie's girlfriend! Maybe Jiminie remembers seeing her titties and shit too, needs to walk away before he gets his ass beat by him." Yoongi says lowly behind Namjoon.

"Yeah, like you're any better." Namjoon says, looking at Yoongi weirdly.

"I mean, we did see her practically naked." Jin says, chiming into the discussion.

"I touched her." Yoongi's mouth slightly hangs down. "I touched her."

"Go ahead, say it louder so Kookie can hear you." Jin nods sarcastically. "Go, say it!"

"No, stop." Yoongi's cheeks turn red while shaking his head and laughing. "He'll literally launch me out the window with one hand."

"Good."

"You asked for her to sit on your lap too, bro!"

"I was joking, and it's not like she did it anyway!"

"Whatever, I'm keeping my birthday deep in my memory storage."

"Clean slate for her so it should be for you too, my guy." Namjoon says as he has enough of their conversation.

You look at Jungkook who is silently standing there, looking like a big dork with a huge smile on his face and his thumbs up. You give him the tiniest nod before proceeding to follow the PD out.

"So?!" Jungkook dashes to meet you in their waiting room area, where an abnormally large picture of Jimin posing oddly hung up.

"He said he'll send me all the info and papers and stuff!" You respond excitedly as Kook hugs you and quickly swings you around.

"See, I knew it would work out!" He puts you down. "Are you gonna tell Kai?" You shook your head.

"Not today at least, it's his birthday and I don't wanna take away from that. It's his day." Jungkook smiles at you.

"Text me when you've picked him up? I should be home by then."

"Okay." You blush and back away, making Jungkook look at you with confusion. "I have to keep it professional here, duh."

"Ah I see." He chuckles. "That won't last very long."

"Jungkook." You whine.

"There's a lot of private rooms here and—"

"I'm not listening, sorry. I think Kai is suddenly calling me." You cover your ears as you begin to walk away, giving him one last smile before leaving him to the rest of rehearsals and whatever else they're doing. He laughs to himself as he waves you off, excited to get through the day so he can just spend time with you and Kai.

As the hours go on and it's about time for you to pick Kai up, you quickly stop by the store because you're a procrastinator and didn't buy Kai's birthday gift any earlier. You felt bad you weren't able to find the shoes he wanted, but you at least snagged the video game he had been talking about for a couple of days now. Before walking into the arcade, you made sure to write your birthday card and slip some more money into it before shoving it in your bag to give to him later.

"Your pretty sister is here." Yeonjun grabs Kai by the shoulder as he finishes up a game.

"Yeah, and you're too young for her."

"Age is nothing but a number. It's only like.. 6 years apart."

"Besides, she's taken, dude. Sorry." Kai snorts as he watches Yeonjun's smile fade. "You would have never had the chance."

"You're mean."

"I'm mean, or you just have really high, unrealistic expectations?" The rest of their friends laugh as they follow Kai over to you.

"Hey!" You smile at all his friends.

"Hiiiiii Y/N." They all say in unison, some waving in awe, while the others shyly dug their hands into their pockets. "Birthday boy, you all good to go? Got some good Loco Moco waiting for you."

"Yeah, I'm good."

"Happy birthday again, Kai! Get online later!" Soobin yells out.

"Yeah, yeah." He says, waving them off as he follows you out to your car.

"You guys run through the entire arcade?" Kai laughs.

"Pretty much." He sinks into his seat, legs damn near touching the glove compartment with how long he is. "I'm honestly so excited for Loco Moco. It's been years!"

"It has not been that long." You laughed.

"You're right, it's been months." Kai looks out the window. "Wait, you're passing the road to get to our go-to shop though?"

"Cause I found a better place."

"How is there a better place when that one was already supreme?!"

"Hey, trust me on this okay?" You laugh. Kai starts telling you about his day and how so many people he knew from school had been messaging him happy birthday. He truly looked his happiest today and it was all you could ask for. Though at the same time, your heart slightly sank at the fact that he'd be going off to uni soon and staying at the dorms. He was just growing up way too fast, and you wanted to spend as much time as you could with him now before he was too occupied being a college boy.

You slipped yourself past Jungkook's security, parking in the one guest spot they have in the garage that's closest to the elevator. Kai doesn't really question it and hops out anyway, his hands in his pockets as he follows you into the elevator and onto Jungkook's floor.

"You ready, kid?"

"Is this some like, Michelin Star Loco Moco restaurant?"

"Ah, I guess you could say that." You knocked on the door, hearing music playing in the background. Jungkook opens the door and Kai's eyes widen.

"Oh shit, that's Jungkook?" Kook laughs and steps aside to let you both in. "Sis why—what—how come you didn't tell me we were seeing your boyfriend? I look like a mess!" He says lowly.

"You don't!"

"Hey Kai! Happy Birthday!" Jungkook says smiling, making Kai actually blush. He's cheeks are tinted with a rosy color and he suddenly gets all shy.

"Thanks."

"Your brother's tall." Jungkook looks at him up and down.

"Looking at an 18 year old 6 footer."

"Must be nice."

"Go sit." Kai silently nods as he sits awkwardly on Kook's couch, while you go and check in on him in the kitchen.

"Is he always that shy?"

"No. Just with you, apparently. He's not even that shy around girls." You chuckle as he places a quick kiss on your head. "Need my help?" You still ask even though the plates are neatly prepared already.

"Not really." He smiles down at you. "You hungry though?"

"Starving, actually." Your eyes light up at the plates. "Ouuuuuu, yum."

"Honestly, I think this batch might be better than my first."

"Still honored to be your guinea pig." You carry a plate over to Jungkook's coffee table in the living room.

"Oh shit, that looks amazing." Kai says, slipping himself down from the couch to the floor so he could get a good whiff of the plate. "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Jungkook hands you the remote before walking into his room. "Pick something."

"Here, birthday boy. Help me choose."

"Let's watch Soul on Disney+." At this point, Jungkook comes out of his room with a wrapped present, his eyes locked on the TV.

"Ooh, I keep seeing this everywhere! Niceeeee." Jungkook says, smiling with Kai nodding and already digging into his plate. "By the way, this is for you." You shoot him a look as he sits on the floor by you, watching as Kai unwraps the present. Kai's eyes light up as he sees a shoebox underneath the wrapping, quickly flipping the lid open to reveal those blue Air Jordans he wanted.

"Kook?!" You say lowly, making him smile at you and gently pinch your side.

"Holy shit!" He holds out a shoe, only for him to immediately shake his head and close the box again. "Jungkook, I can't take this." Kai says.

"No, it's your birthday."

"Yeah, but isn't this expensive? You've already done so much for me and my sister, I-I don't want to—"

"Kai, it's cool. If it's one thing you can do to repay me, it's to take my present." You literally want to cry at how sweet Jungkook is being with your brother. He had been good to you, no doubt, but this was one thing you didn't expect from him at all. Quite frankly, you had forgotten you mentioned the shoes to him. The fact that he actually remembered and kept his word.

"Okay." Kai says, gently setting the box down aside before looking at Jungkook with a small smile on his face. "Thank you. I really appreciate it. Like, even with the food and everything. It means a lot to me."

"You're welcome." You give him a soft smile before digging into your food while Soul was already off to a start. Kai and Jungkook devour their food together, with you following shortly behind as Jungkook brings over a small ice cream cake from his fridge for Kai to blow his candles on. After the boys had helped themselves to a good serving of the cake, they started getting hyper and pulled up Smash Bros on Kook's Nintendo Switch [as if Kai hadn't played enough games today]. It started to get intense; the boys jumping and yelling everywhere, bouncing off of the walls, with you getting pulled into the competition every now and then. Even though you knew you'd lost over and over again, you happily joined in anyway, seeing how excited your brother was - plus, it was always a bonus to hear Jungkook's loudly obnoxious, nerdy laugh.

"I WIN!"

"Hey, hey, hey. I let you win because it's your birthday." Jungkook said, making Kai laugh as he crashed to the floor.

"Sure." Kai huffed and puffed. "Crap, I'm tired. What time is it?"

"Almost midnight. We should start heading out, bubba." You patted Kai's chest gently.

"What? No, it's late. Why don't you two just stay here?" You suddenly remembered you've had Kai's shit in your trunk since you dropped him off at Yeonjun's this morning. You didn't have any change of clothes, but that could easily be fixed with Jungkook's closet.

"Only if the queen wants, she's driving."

"It's late, baby." Jungkook says to you softly. "No way I'm letting you two head out there."

"Okay." You give him a small smile before handing your keys. "Can you do me a favor?" He chuckles.

"What is it?"

"Kai's duffle bag is in my trunk." He nods and takes your keys.

"I got it. Kai, you can take the guest room or my office room." Jungkook says with his 3-bedroom apartment having ass. "I have my computer in my office room though, and a pull out bed. I don't know how comfy you'll be."

"It's cool, I'll just take your guest room. I always bring my laptop and switch whenever I sleep at my sister's." Kai says getting up. "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Jungkook says, toothlessly smiling at the both of you, completely endeared at how alike you two were - even down to the fact that you both said thank you for every little thing. If this was a result of Kai being close to you and having you as pretty much his mother figure, then Jungkook wouldn't know what to do with his feelings. He felt butterflies every time he thought about how cute and sweet you were, and he was always excited to be around you.

Jungkook does a quick jog to your car, grabbing Kai's Nike duffle from your trunk before jogging back to the elevator and back to his apartment. He walks in to see Kai helping you clean up the remaining dishes in the sink, tidying the rest of the things in his kitchen.

"Thank you." Jungkook says himself, a little unfamiliar with saying such a thing to be completely honest.

"You're welcome." You say softly, wiping your hands on his hand towel. "Off to bed, or are you gonna go online with your friends?"

"I'll see what they're up to, but I'm pretty beat. Today was fun." Kai smiles at the both of you. "I really appreciate it." You ruffle his hair a bit before gently pushing him towards his bedroom for the night.

"Bathroom's right over there, help yourself to anything you need."

"Don't stay up too late."

"Only if you aren't too loud." You gasp while Jungkook laughs out loud.

"Kai!"

"Hey, I'm just being honest. Please remember that I'm right in this room."

"Oh my god, go to bed." You shove him inside the room and shut his door. "Don't even say a word." You look at Jungkook shyly as you hurriedly brush past him to get into his room - even though Jungkook is literally right behind you with those long ass legs of his, making every stride so much easier for him to catch up to you.

"What's your outfit of choice tonight, pretty lady?" He shuts his door behind him as you start to make your way into his closet.

"Hm, I'll just wear this plain black--" You unfold it. "Balenciaga? Okay, I definitely can't just wear this to sleep."

"Why not?"

"Because this is like, name brand and everything."

"So?" He shrugs. "Just wear it, babygirl. It's not gonna make much of a difference, you're wearing it either way." You do a slight pout before you start to slip out of your clothes to get into his shirt. You make his way to his bathroom to take a little tinkle when you notice another toothbrush sitting next to his. A pink toothbrush, next to his blue one.

"Why do you have two toothbrushes?" You wash your hands as he comes in to the bathroom to start getting ready for bed.

"That's yours." Your eyes light up at his statement.

"Mine?"

"I figured since you'd be over more, it'd be easier for you." He furrows his brows lightly. "Unless.. you didn't want--" You press a kiss against his lips, his hands resting on your arms to keep you close.

"No, I did want that. Thank you."

"Of course, baby." He pecks your forehead.

"By the way, way to make me look like such a bad sister!" You say as you start getting your toothbrush ready.

"Why? The shoes?"

"The shoes, the Loco Moco, the games, the ice cream cake." You laughed. "I literally got him a video game and some money."

"I mean, he is turning 18. I wanted to help make it as memorable as possible."

"I appreciate you a lot. Really."

"I appreciate you too." Your eyes widen as you brush your teeth.

"Waaaaow, say thaht wun mohr tiyme." You say, pulling a Jungkook while brushing your teeth.

"Eye apprushiate yoh toh." You giggle. The both of you finish getting ready for bed before slipping into his warm sheets. Jungkook never goes to sleep early, however, he makes sure all the lights are off and that the show he's watching isn't too loud. You have no idea what's going on in his show, but you lay on his chest to watch for a little bit until you feel yourself getting a little more sleepy. He's holding you close, his hand brushing through your hair softly, causing tingles to ripple through your body.

"Kook."

"Yes, baby?"

"You make me happy." You say sleepily as you hung him tighter. He smiles down at you, your eyes now shut close as you slowly start to drift into a deep sleep. He presses a light kiss against your head, fingers still in your hair.

"You make me happy too, sweetheart."

Delaying the Inevitable - Chapter 19: Revelations

Book: Open Heart 3 (Post Series)

Pairing: Ethan Ramsey x F!MC Tobias Carrick x F!MC

Rating: Chapter: Teen

Summary: Extended Series WIP – Love Triangle. In this chapter: Floria discourages Ethan from overstepping with Casey; livid, Ethan confronts Tobias and, later, Casey; Naveen and Alan pair up; preparations are underway for Thanksgiving.

Category: Extended Series (WIP)

Warnings: Drinking, language

A/N: Well, I managed to get a chapter out with the new job in place. This is an accomplishment. 😊 Those who have stuck around for 18 chapters know, brevity is not my strong suit. So, despite the length of this chapter, it is shorter than I intended for it to be. I think the model of shorter (relative) chapters will begin, so the series may go on a little longer. This is subject to change as I find a new groove.

A/N 2: As of now, releases will take place on Saturday or Sunday. Stay posted.

A/N 3: A reminder, it’s a triangle folks. To all those DMing me that they can’t believe she is considering Tobias… I will reiterate … it’s a triangle folks

A/N 4: The enthusiasm for this series continues to astound me. Knowing this story is enjoyed by so many continues to blow my mind… a sincere thank you to each of you.

A/N 5: Last, but not least, a big thank you to my LLS @ka for pre-reading this chapter. Seriously, your support, your help, and your friendship have been one of the best things to come from this fandom! And girl, what they’ve got us doing next…. Lol <3 love you, little sis!

CHARACTERS BELONG TO PIXELBERRY STUDIOS

If you wish to be added or removed from tags, please let me know. Comments and reblogs are always appreciated. 😊

“Si, I’m so glad you took the walk to Derry’s with me! I miss you so much. Plus, it’s November, Boston will be covered with snow within the next 20 minutes, and we will be stuck inside until the spring thaw.”

“Casey, I think you may be exaggerating just a bit. Except about the missing part. There is no exaggeration there,” Sienna smiled.

“Really? Even though I’ve been abusing you, using you as my unpaid therapist every night. You still miss me?”

“Of course! I miss you even more now.”

“Awwww,” Casey squealed as the two friends stopped in their tracks to hug one another.

“Hey! Watch what you’re doing!” a pedestrian hollered as he nearly crashed into them.

“Relax!” Sienna yelled back, “This is what dolphins do! Deal with it!”

“It is what?” Casey laughed, as the bewildered man stalked off.

“I don’t know, we were squealing… it sounded good in my head. I’ll never see him again, what do I care.”

“Why don’t you take out that coffee and start drinking it, Sienna,” Casey laughed as they walked toward the hospital entrance, “You’re a little off your game!”

They were about to enter the lobby when Casey heard a voice calling from the street.

“Casey! Case! Wait up!”

They both turned to see Tobias running between cars that were stopped at a red light making his way toward them. He jogged up and stood in front of Casey.

“Hey,” he said, his eyes as bright as his smile.

“Hey,” she replied, cheeks slightly flushed.

Sienna looked between the two of them several times with a knowing smirk on her face before interjecting.

“Hello to you too, Tobias. Lovely seeing you.”

“Oh, sorry, Si. I didn’t see you there. I…”

“I get it. I’m short.”

Tobias chuckled, “Look I won’t keep you two. Case, I just wanted to let you know that I’m driving into Charlestown to do grocery shopping after work. Did you want to come along?”

“Oh, yeah, I should. I want to get stuff for Thanksgiving.”

“Your Mom is aware that I’m not letting you actually cook anything, right?” He teased.

“There is no need to be a wise ass, Tobias Carrick! I am actually making some of the food.”

“Oh, God, no! What are you making, Casey?” Sienna asked, clearly horrified.

Tobias burst out laughing.

“It’s OK, Si. I’m limiting her to the tomato and mozzarella salad. I don’t think she can do much damage there.”

Sienna gasped. “You think… she can’t… are you aware that Rose is an Italian mother, Tobias!? Please tell me that you never said those words to her! Further, there is most certainly a way to screw it up and… I’m truly sorry Casey… but if there is a way to do it, Casey will find it!”

“Wow, thanks best friend! Thanks, roomie. I am so feeling so much love from you two right now.”

“It’s OK, Sweetheart. We all love you, just… not for your cooking abilities.”

“I mean if we come right down to it, it’s actually fair. You’re pretty much perfect otherwise, Case. God had to fuck you up somehow.”

“Sienna, you’re spending too much time with Jackie, without my supervision… and it shows.”

Sienna giggled and jumped up to give Casey a kiss on the cheek.

“I love you, bestie!”

“Do you know if you’re joining us yet, Si,” Tobias asked.

“Nope. But my schedule is out tomorrow. I’ll let you know as soon as I do.”

Casey was still shooting a defiant smirk in Tobias’s direction.

Catching her, he shook his head, “Truce dear, truce.”

“I’m only accepting it because you are driving and sparing me eight hours from hell on Amtrak.”

“Hey, I use what I can to my advantage,” he winked. “Look, I’ve got to fly, I have a consult with Reynolds in fifteen. Case, I’ll pick you up at the side entrance at six?”

“Sure, see you then.”

“Bye T!” Sienna yelled as he walked away, watching Casey keeping her eyes locked on him until he was out of sight.

Sienna cleared her throat.

“What?”

“Oh, nothing. Just a tickle,” she grinned. “So, have you given any more thought to what we have been talking about?”

“What, about Tobias?”

“No, Casey. About why Taylor Swift was inspired to write Folklore! Of course, about Tobias!”

“Well, what’s to say? I think I feel something but, I need to take some time. I don’t want to do anything that would harm our friendship, you know?”

“That makes perfect sense, but what are you afraid of?”

“Well, that he doesn’t feel the same about me, for starters.”

Sienna chortled.

“Si, what is it?”

“Casey, how are you so smart, yet…”

“What!?”

“What time is it, Casey?”

“8:30.”

“What time did you leave the apartment?”

“7:30.”

“When is your diagnostic team meeting?”

“At 9:30, what’s your point?”

“How many times do you think you and Tobias will cross paths at work today? I mean, before 6:00 PM grocery shopping, that is?”

Casey folded her arms across her chest and looked down at her friend.

“Your point, Sienna?”

“Oh, nothing. It’s just that men with zero interest in someone are known for running between cars on the street to catch up with someone they saw just an hour ago, and who they will see in another hour, to ask a question that could have easily been handled in a 2-second text. That’s all.”

“Si, when did you become so snarky.”

“All the unsupervised time with Jackie, of course. But, regardless, what kind of a best friend would I be if I didn’t point out the obvious.”

“Oh! Speaking of the obvious, if you end up joining us for Thanksgiving, what are you bringing? Mamma Rose asked me to text her before her big grocery order today, and she’ll have my head if I don’t respond.”

“Take that off your to-do list. I am in contact with Rose on my own, Casey. Do you seriously think we’d leave this to you? If I can go, I told her I’d make the Braciole. I’ll take that off of her hands this year.”

“Wait! She gave you her Braciole recipe, and she won’t give it to me!?”

“Well, would you look at that I have, uhm… a thing… right now…. but don’t worry Casey,” she yelled fleeing into an elevator, “I’ll let you know as soon as I get my schedule. Bye!”

Casey shook her head exasperated.

I can learn how to make Braciole too! Well, maybe. I could try. If we notify the Boston Fire Department in advance. You know, it’s best left to Sienna.

The sounds of laughter coming from the diagnostic team office finally took Casey’s mind off of Braciole-gate. At least one voice wasn’t familiar. Ethan was seated at his desk, with Harper and Floria seated in the chairs in front of him.

“Oh my God, and then he called Naveen down, and in his bathrobe! I swear it’s the only time I ever saw the man curse! When he saw Ethan… oh! Good morning, Casey, I didn’t see you come in,” Harper smiled.

“Hi, Harper. It’s OK, you guys carry on. I’ll just wait at the table until our meeting starts.”

“You’re more than welcome to join us over here,” Ethan emphasized.

“Thanks, but I’m ok here,” she answered sheepishly.

She and Floria locked eyes as she turned away. Floria offered a faint smile.

“You know, what? I really need to get back to work anyway. Ethan, will you have those reports ready by 2:00?”

“Yes, if you don’t have them by 1:00, please send me a reminder.”

“Will do. Bye, Casey,” Floria said as she headed out the door.

Tobias entered just as she exited. He saw Harper and Ethan were still engaged in a friendly conversation, and Casey sitting at the conference table appearing glum. He quietly entered the room and slid into the seat next to her. He tilted his head and whispered in her direction.

“Hey, you doing ok there, kid?”

She lifted her head and smiled.

“Doing better now.”

Ethan, who had been surreptitiously watching their exchange from his desk, cleared his throat loudly.

“Casey, Tobias, why don’t you come sit up here. Our meeting is going to be extremely brief today.”

“Sure thing, boss,” Tobias answered as Casey silently stood.

“Hey, smile,” Tobias whispered. “After today we are on Thanksgiving recess.”

“You make it sound like we’re back in Kindergarten.”

“Kindergarten, Edenbrook… same thing really.”

She laughed and broke out into a bright smile.

“You’re not wrong,” she laughed, “So, team, let’s get this meeting over with, shall we?”

____________________

Floria looked at the clock in her office, 1:00 PM. She checked her inbox. No reports from Ethan. She e-mailed him a reminder, as promised, and fifteen minutes later he replied with a simple, “Come here.”

“You couldn’t figure it out, could you?” Floria smiled as she sauntered into his office.

“Negative. These things have never been my forte. I didn’t exactly go to med school to learn to run reports.”

“But it’s still part of the job. You never seemed to have any problems with them before, what’s with your sudden regression?”

Ethan sat back in his chair thoughtfully.

“Casey used to run them with me.”

“With you, or for you?”

He shot her a look.

“This is why we should always teach, and never do,” she chided. “Relax, I’ll help you.”

She slid next to Ethan and began showing him how to run the report.

“Ethan, it may be none of my business but, you’re still on the same team. Why didn’t you ask her for help? Clearly, anyone’s company must be better than mine,” she laughed.

“Normally, I’d agree,” he said snarkily, but then smiled when Floria glared at him. “But right now, I think it’s best that I maintain my distance from her as much as I can.”

“She looked pretty miserable when I was in here this morning,” she paused as she completed entering the data required for the report. “Can I offer you some advice, Ethan?”

“I suppose if I say no you will continue anyway.”

“You always were observant,” she mocked. “Ethan, try to work things out so you could at least be friends. I mean, you work together and, take it for someone who has handled past breakups…”

He looked up at her and she lowered her eyes, “… atrociously in the past. There is a better way.”

“Well, Casey has made it abundantly clear that she is not ready to be anything more than what we are now.…”

“Which is?”

“Which is what you saw this morning.”

“Well, I’m sorry to see that,” she said standing to leave, “the reports take about thirty minutes to run when you see them in the queue just…”

“Floria, why don’t you sit down.”

She eyed him suspiciously. “Why?”

“I could use the company,” he grinned with almost enough sincerity that Floria didn’t look for an alternative motive.

“Uhm, OK. You usually aren’t too welcoming; do you have inside information that I’m dying or something?”

“It was the Napoleon. You know I can be bribed with my sweet tooth.”

“Had I known that I would have bought you a box full on my first day at Edenbrook. That could have saved us months of discomfort.”

“Eh, discomfort is underrated. Everyone wants life tied up in a pretty little bundle, and it doesn’t work that way,” Ethan said eyeing the reports. “Learning to be comfortable with discomfort, it’s not such a bad thing.”

“Is that what we’re doing right now?”

“Perhaps,” he said handing her a spreadsheet. “Is this all the data you need?”

“Yes, but there is a field missing. Employee zip codes are needed for payroll data. But don’t worry, I’ll extract them from an existing report. So, there is no need to…”

“That’s right!”

“What’s right?”

“I forgot… have access to my team’s employee records! I haven’t gone into that system in years. How do I get in?”

“You’re that excited about employee zip codes, Ethan?”

“I am assuming there would be other address data, not just zip codes, am I correct?”

“Yes, but… wait…” she crossed her arms, “Ethan, what are you looking for?”

He grimaced, “I just want to know where Casey is staying.”

“Why?”

“Because she won’t tell me, and I want to know.”

“Not a good reason. Ethan, you should really reconsider this, I don’t think it’s a good…,”

“I’m not going to stalk her. I’m not sending her roses. I’ll just feel better if I know.” He began flinging papers around his desk, “I know I have instructions written down somewhere… I will figure it out, Floria, you can just save me time and effort.”

“And that delay may help you come to your senses. Listen to yourself, Ethan! She’s not wrong, where she lives is no longer your business. Besides, if you do this, you will be ruining any chance of….”

“Floria, there is no chance of, understood? We’re in the past.”

“Ethan, you’re full of shit! Why do you care where she lives if she is truly in your past? I mean, I am truly in your past; I don’t see you breaking into systems to find out where I live.”

“I just want to know… I want to know she is someplace safe.”

“Ethan, you do know that. She shows up to work every day! She’s rested, she’s dressed, she’s eating. She’s a grown woman! One that you broke up with and you lost any claim. I have to side with her here, you don’t have the….”

“You can stop now, Floria… I just got in.”

Floria stood up and moved to turn the computer screen toward her.

“Ethan no,” she said blocking the screen, “you don’t have to do this….”

Ethan had completely tuned her out and turned the screen back toward him.

“Wait a second… One Franklin Street. One Franklin… Isn’t that the Millennium Tower?”

“Ethan, I’m new to Boston, you’re asking the wrong person.”

He plugged the data into Google.

“It is the Millennium Tower.”

“OK, so she’s living in Millennium Tower. How is your life any different than it was three minutes ago?”

His fist slammed into his desk, startling Floria.

“Jesus, Ramsey, are you trying to give me a heart attack?”

“You knew.”

“What?”

“You knew, that’s why you were trying to stop me?”

“Ethan, what are you talking about.”

“She’s on the 55th floor.”

“So, she has a good view?”

“She has more than a goddamned good view.”

“I’m not following.”

“She also has Tobias,” he said as his face turned red, “She’s living with Tobias.”

Floria raised her eyebrows.

“Look, I’m new to town, but even I know that’s a huge building. It doesn’t mean that…”

“It’s the 55th floor, what are the chances,” he said furiously typing before pushing his chair back in disgust. “It’s the same unit. The same goddamn unit. She’s living with fucking Tobias!! Son of a bitch!”

“Ethan, take a deep breath, I know… I mean, they’re good friends so this doesn’t… “

“You thought they were dating, remember?”

“Well, I mean, they have a certain rapport between them, but that doesn’t mean any… wait, stop. Even if she were, which for the record I don’t see, but honestly, it’s none of your business.”

“Floria, it’s time for you to leave.”

“Excuse me?” she said snidely, but one look at his angry stare and she gathered her things.

“Ethan, please use your head.”

“I am. Now go.”

He took out his phone and furiously sent Tobias a text.

He inhaled deeply and sat back in his chair.

She’s been there this whole time, hasn’t she? This whole time. But she never told me. HE never told me. Why? Why the hell wouldn’t he tell me at least on the side. Just to let me know she was OK?

Waiting only made things worse as his mind began to wander. This morning at the conference table:

“Hey, you doing ok there, kid?”

“Doing better now.”

How had she gone from being so down to a bright smile so quickly? He barely said hello? And the looks on their faces. There can’t be…

She’s sitting at their booth in Donahue’s, she is wearing a Johns Hopkins sweatshirt, it wasn’t his… it had to be? But she didn’t heave her clothes yet… because you threw her out, a small voice said, but he silenced it… but the day he joined them in the booth, the two of them, looking at photos on her phone… was there more to it?

His mind went back further, to when they were together:

… Baby, I’m meeting T at the Seaport for lunch, I’ll be home by 5:00.

… there is no need to worry, Hun, T walked me home. I’m safe as could be.

The party after the board exams:

“Well, we may have to move, I don’t think we will all fit here?”

“No need!” Tobias yelled, “It is time to get out there and show the DJ how it is done.”

“Oh my God, YES! I have been dying to dance! Ethan, join us?”

“Oh, no! You go dance the night away!”

“Suit yourself!” She grabbed Tobias’s hand and they were off.

The day that he and Tobias had lunch together at Sorellina’s:

“I figured if my girlfriend considers you one of her “besties”, as she would put it, and we were once “besties” too, I thought it would be wise for us to try to improve our relationship.”

“Well, I don’t disagree; but are you sure it’s not a keep friends close and your enemies closer thing?”

Could they be? Could they have been? He seriously doubted Casey was involved while they were together, but what were they now? What had Tobias been feeling then, did…. If he laid a goddamn hand on her so help me God….

Ethan’s thoughts were interrupted.

“Hey, Boss, what’s going on, sounds like we have a fire to put out.”

“Close the door Tobias and lock it.”

Tobias eyed him suspiciously but remained calm as he returned to the door and snapped the lock shut. He returned to Ethan’s desk, leaning against the wall to talk to him.

Ethan’s rested his head in his hands, running them through his hair before exhaling loudly.

“When did Casey move in with you?”

“Excuse me?”

“Don’t play stupid with me Tobias,” he lifted his head and stared him in the eyes, “I know she is there. I want to know for how long, and I want to know why you never said a word about it to me.”

Tobias’s nonchalant reaction only served to fuel Ethan’s rage.

“She’s been staying with me since she needed a place to live. I never said anything because it wasn’t my place to. She asked me not to, and I gave her my word. I will always honor my word to her.”

“Your loyalty to Casey is commendable. Perhaps it would have been nice if you had some to me as well.”

“Then perhaps you can point out where I have been disloyal to you.”

“How about you allowed my girlfriend into your home and neglected to inform me.”

Tobias half smiled, “Your girlfriend. Casey ended up under my roof precisely because you freed her from that role. She had no place to call home, Ethan, and she needed a place to stay. Neither she nor I needed to clear that with anyone. Especially not with you given the circumstances.”

Ethan chuckled menacingly. “The more things change, huh Tobias?”

“What is that supposed to mean?”

“What a damn fool! He’s her good friend! I should get to know him again! He’s not a bad guy! I tried. I tried, Tobias, and all the while…”

“Ethan, stop right there. Don’t go down a road you don’t want to travel on. Casey is staying with me because she needed a roof. She is there because she is my friend and she is important to me, but there is nothing more than that between us. So don’t go there.”

“Really? Care to explain her wearing your Hopkins’s shirt at Donahues?”

“Sure. Her clothes were still at your place. Would you have preferred she show up naked?”

Ethan stood up and moved to the window, his jaw clenched.

“Why is she always sitting next to you, Tobias? You’re not her only friend. Always smiling. Even this morning, glum as could be until her good buddy Tobias strolled in, then her face was aglow. Am I imagining things?

Tobias’s face began to twitch. Oh, the shit he could throw in Ethan’s face right now. But he didn’t want to go there. He took a breath and composed himself, but his patience was wearing thin.

“Ethan. She is my friend. And if you think I’m going to apologize for making her smile, well, you’ll be waiting for a while.”

“It all makes sense, now. That lunch, remember when I wanted to try to rekindle our friendship, ‘keep your enemies closer, now it all makes sense…”

“Ethan, stop the bullshit already! Casey and I have been tight since I started at Edenbrook and she …”

“…and she is living with you.”

“Because she had no place to go!”

“Sienna? Jackie? Aurora? Even Bryce? It had to be you, right? Her good ol “T”. Only you.”

“Well, if you ever chose to kick the love of your life to the curb again, you may want to give a little more consideration to the day you chose to do it on. Maybe the very day her friends were moving into their new place, and she was moving in with you, wasn’t the best decision you ever made, now was it?.”

“Spare me! How long did you wait?”

“What?”

“How long did you wait to jump in? Was it a day, a week, two? Is this nothing more than a game to you? If you think I’m going to sit back and watch you use Casey as a pawn in this sick competition between us…”

“What competition, Ethan? What competition? When is the last time I competed with you? I’ve grown up! I’m not the same asshole I used to be. You’re my boss, for Christ’s sake, my boss! Would I work for you if I was still trying to one-up you? I’ve told you, you’re the better doctor. I’ve worked my ass off to rebuild our friendship, do you think that’s a way of launching some competition? I literally begged you to work things out with Casey. I showed up at your door in the middle of the night, begging you! I suppose that’s how I was trying to “jump in” on her. And, Bro, even if there were a competition, I would never use Casey, never!”

“Like hell you wouldn’t. How happy were you? How happy were you when she called you crying? Saying I left her? That was the perfect opportunity, wasn’t it? Do you think I’m stupid? Maybe I was back then, but I’m not anymore. The way you looked at her, the way you danced with her, with me the damn fool watching, so happy that you two were such good friends…”

“…and that’s all we were Ethan.”

“I WASN’T DONE!! You couldn’t wait! You had to have her because she was mine. I should have expected this of you all along. Failing to realize that you would stoop so low, that is all on me. But Jesus! Casey? I thought better of her! How fucking long did she wait before she jumping into your bed?”

Tobias felt himself begin to tremble, the restraints inside of him beginning to snap. He saw red. He jumped to his feet and in a moment he was in Ethan’s face.

“OK, it’s time for you to watch your fucking mouth. If you want to talk shit about me, make bullshit up in your head and believe it? Have at it, I can’t stop you and frankly, with who you’ve become, it’s not even worth my effort to try! But don’t you dare talk about Casey like that! Don’t you dare! All that woman ever did is love you, she loved you like no one else ever saw fit to. She was the best thing that ever happened to you, and you reciprocated by tossing her on the street. And for what? For the grave sin of trying to teach Ethan Ramsey that it’s OK to love? You fucked up, and you know you fucked up. Want confirmation? Ask Naveen, Harper, I’m sure your father… they all tried to tell you, I tried to tell you, but you only listen to the damn voices in your head. So don’t turn this on me, and don’t you dare turn this on Casey. You already hurt her enough!”

“I’m not turning this on anyone. Yes, we broke up…”

“No… you broke up with her… get it right!”

“We broke up Tobias, yes, I called it off. But you know how much she mattered to me! She wasn’t some woman I picked up at a bar, I loved her. You, you’re supposed to… How long after she left my apartment was she sitting in yours? How comfortable was she there? How easy was it for her to say out with the old and in with the new because good old Tobias was waiting in the wings? If you were her friend, never mind mine, you would never have done that! You would have…”

“OK ENOUGH! Enough! You loved her? She meant something to you? Some way you have of showing it! How long do we all need to be subjected to this poor, pathetic little Ethan act? How long do we walk on eggshells to keep the truth from you? Well, I’m done! You cared about her? Do you think she called me that night and asked me to come get her? Like I was the only person in the world she could trust? I wish it had played out like that because that’s a lot prettier than the reality. I think it’s time you get a little education. Do you want to know how I found her? I found her on the ground! On the goddamn ground shivering cold, crying, she didn’t even know where she was. A stranger was standing over, a stranger! Because she knew it wasn’t safe for her to be alone in that condition. But you, the almighty Ethan Ramsey, the man who claimed to love her, you let her walk out of your door like that. Then you couldn’t even be bothered to check if she were dead or alive for six hours! For six hours! But I’m the bad guy? You want to see who the bad guy is in this situation, Ethan? Find a fucking mirror!”

Seething, Tobias headed toward the door.

“Tobias wait! TOBIAS!!!”

Tobias turned around slowly, biting his lips, his eyes on fire.

“Your just her friend? That’s all it is? Then look me in the eyes and tell me you don’t love her.”

Tobias stood in place, not a muscle moving. He owed no explanation, but he would never lie about what he felt for Casey.

“She is living in my condo, Ethan. But we are not together. Not that it would be any of your goddamned business if we were.”

“I didn’t ask that. I asked you to tell me that you don’t love her, tell me you don’t want her.”

“How could I not? Tell me, that? How could I not? Casey is … she’s perfect … she’s brilliant and beautiful, and kind, she is funny, and she loves with all she has and asks for almost nothing in return… who wouldn’t love her? Tell me, Ethan, who would be stupid enough to turn her away? Huh? I begged you, I begged you to get the help you need, to work things out with her, because I care about the two of you. I did it out of respect and out of love, but every day I become more grateful that you didn’t take my advice. Because the only thing you and I are beginning to agree on is that you never deserved her in the first place. If Casey were mine,” he stopped and took a deep breath before he continued, “If she were mine… I’d treat her like the most precious thing in this world because she is! So yeah, I love her. But she has no idea because even now, even when I could have taken advantage one hundred times over, I’ve never acted on it. And you know why? Because I love her that much!”

Ethan shook his head and smirked, the urge to punch Tobias suppressed only by the fact that they were in Edednbrook.

“Are you foolish enough to think that she will ever love you the way she loved me?”

“I don’t profess to know what Casey will do. I don’t get to speak for her. But I’ll tell you this, I would love her more than you ever could. I already do.”

Both men turned as they heard a key enter the door and Naveen stamped into the room.

“What is the meaning of this! What is going on in here! I can hear you two all the way down the hall, and so can everyone else!”

“Why don’t you ask the golden boy here?” Tobias said. “Casey has been staying at my apartment., Naveen. He put her on the street, and I gave her a place to stay. But he’s still untouchable and I’m still the piece of trash and, frankly, I’m tired of it.”

“Tobias, I will need to speak with you both about this after things calm down. But for now, why don’t you go, I need to address this with Dr. Ramsey.”

“With pleasure.”

“And Tobias?”

“Yes?”

“Thank you for looking after Casey.”

“No one ever needs to tank me for caring for her.”

Ethan sunk back into his chair, looking away from his mentor

“Ethan, this has gone entirely too far and it has to stop.”

“She’s living with him Naveen! Living with him!”

“Son,” Naveen said with a soft, steady voice, “where Casey lives stopped being your concern the day you left her. You know that’s true. So, stop it. It might hurt to hear that, but you know I am right.”

“She just dismissed me and replaced me, like I meant nothing to her.”

“Ethan, she never dismissed you. You dismissed her. You can’t tell someone to leave and then get mad at them when they do. Where do you think she’d be right now if you hadn’t behaved in the abhorrent way that you did? She’d be with you. There is no doubt.”

The men sat in momentary silence before Naveen spoke.

“I know you’re supposed to see Alan. I want you to leave tonight, I’m putting you on leave for a week. Go, spend Thanksgiving with your father. Talk to him and come back with a new perspective because, this is still a hospital, and I can’t have you behaving like this no matter how much I love you.”

“You can’t give me off, Tobias and Casey are already off... funny how that worked out… “

“Ethan stop! Stop! Harper and I will cover the cases. I’m not requesting you take time off; I’m demanding it. If I don’t see immediate improvement, I am going to order you into therapy. Do you understand? This isn’t only my love for you speaking, it’s also my obligation to the wellbeing of the hospital. Now, I want you to gather your things and go. Go home, call Alan, head down there. It’s not a request. Go.”

“Naveen, I don’t…”

“GO!”

Ethan never broke eye contact as he pushed his chair back and stood from his desk, but once he fixed his eyes on the door, he never looked at Naveen again. He gritted his teeth as he exited.

“I’ll text you when I’m in Providence,” he said before stammering out into the hall.

____________________

Tobias had stormed out of the office after Naveen’s arrival. Every single eye on the floor turned to stare at him. He shook his head as he smirked. Once again, everyone saw big, bad Tobias. He was certain that he'd be turned into the villain that stole Casey from Ethan. He told himself that he didn’t really give a shit, but deep inside, he knew he did.

He barged into an empty on-call room, promptly kicking a trash can across the floor. He considered punching the wall. Oh, God, how he wanted to punch the wall. But he closed his eyes and focused instead. Everyone was waiting to see the old Tobias Carrick show up, and he was now intent to show them that he no longer existed. Once he gathered himself, he grabbed his phone, he needed to warn Casey.

He dialed her phone.

Ring.

No answer.

He stepped out into the hallway just as Jackie was passing by.

“Hey, T, what’s going on? I heard that….”

“Not now, Jackie. Have you seen Casey?”

“No. Why?”

“I don’t think she has her phone on her. I’m going to look for her, but if you should see her, ask her to call me, OK?”

“OK, but can you…” she didn’t finish her sentence before Tobias was gone.

____________________

Ethan had every intention of leaving the hospital. Especially when he left the office to find all eyes on him. It was uncomfortable, but he knew just what stares to throw in order to make people scatter, employees, guests, and patients alike. He glowered as he headed toward the stairwell. A young volunteer walked past him and Ethan recalled a conversation he overheard between the young woman and Casey have earlier today. Casey had mentioned that she would try to stop in on an arts and crafts workshop in the community room at some point that afternoon. With that in mind, he changed his direction.

Peering into the glass window on the door, he spotted Casey. She was smiling and leaning over an elderly patient’s wheelchair, helping her place her project to place in a canvas bag. The bright smile on her face dissipated the moment she looked up and saw him staring at her. As the patients flooded out into the hallway, he entered the room. Casey did her best to ignore him, gathering the remaining supplies, clearly eager to exit.

He walked toward her, blocking her from entering the closet she was trying to reach.

“Ethan, I have to get to these into the…”

“This won’t take long,” he said somberly.

Her shoulders slumped in defeat and her face sank. She looked pitiful, the antithesis of who she was just moments before as she reveled in the joy of her patients. She turned her eyes toward the floor as she waited for Ethan to speak.

“You’re living with Carrick?” he asked accusatorily.

Casey’s downcast eyes bulged open, and her demeanor changed in an instant. Lifting herself from her shoulders up, she stood tall, her eyes fixed on him.

“Yes,” she said clearly, “I am.”

Ethan snorted with disgust.

“Not even a trace of remorse. Not an attempt at denial.”

“Remorse? Denial? Why would either of those things apply to me?”

“Because you’re living with Carrick!”

“Where I live or what I do with my life stopped being your concern the moment you threw me away like I was nothing.”

“I offered to help you! I told you could stay…”

Casey raised her voice and defiantly spoke over him.

“You know what, save it, Ethan! Even you know how ridiculous that sounds. You can’t try to destroy someone and then offer to be their savior.”

“So instead, you ran to my rival?”

“I didn’t run to anyone. Besides, when did he become your rival again? I must have missed that memo.”

Ethan hadn’t heard a word she said. His eyes were dark, he was locked into a world of his own.

“Are you sleeping with him?” he asked pointedly.

“Excuse me?”

“Are you sleeping with him? It’s a simple question, yes or no answer.”

“I’m picking the third choice. It’s none of your fucking business.”

“I swear to God, Casey! I never thought you would…. we have been apart, what….”

“TWO MONTHS. We’ve been apart for two months, Ethan. Let me ask you, how long am I supposed to sit around mourning the man that abandoned me? For doing what? Did I betray you? Cheat on you? Deny you? All I ever did was love you! So, how long am I supposed to wait?”

“I don’t know, but I thought it would be more than fifteen minutes after you left my apartment.”

Casey smiled sardonically.

“You’re apartment. Hmmm… I seem to recall you evicting me from it about fifteen minutes before it was to be our apartment.”

She walked toward Ethan, her eyes as cold as ice.

“Fifteen minutes. Let me see, if I remember correctly, I was sitting on the floor in front of the elevators crying at that point. Praying that you would come to your senses and come after me. I sat there staring at the door, waiting for you to come and get me for over a half-hour, Ethan. Shielding my face so the neighbors wouldn’t see me. Thirty minutes I waited, but you never came. But you think I was what, crawling into Tobias’s bed,” she chuckled wryly. “Dear God, did you ever even know me at all?”

She shook her head and walked away, but turned around as the anger inside her began to rise. How dare he?

“For the record, even if I had moved on fifteen minutes later, I still wouldn’t have had to explain it to you. I seem to remember someone saying I needed to get over them because they were already over me. Remember those words, Ethan? Because I sure do. They were the last words you said to me before you tossed me out like I never meant a thing to you. Three years. Three years of my life I gave to you. Being your friend, your confidant, your lover, no matter how much you denied me. You were my everything. I would have died for you, Ethan. But do you know what you are to me now? You’re my co-worker. You are nothing more, and that is by your design. This is how you wanted it, well, congratulations, you have it! So don’t you dare get angry at me for what you have done. If you think that my love life, or lack thereof, is any of your goddamn business, you are sorely mistaken. If I wanted to fuck Tobias, the new guy in IT, and every goddamn member of the Boston Red Sox, that's my business and it will never be yours again. Now if you will excuse me, I have work to do.”

Casey walked brusquely to the door just as Naveen entered the room. He smiled tenderly at Casey, honestly happy to see defiance, more than sadness, in her eyes.

“Casey, are you, OK dear.”

“I am,” she said lifting her chin.

“Good. I want you to go home for the day.”

“But, why, I…”

“Casey, I insist. Don’t worry, I’ll get coverage for all of your patients, please, just go. Come back after the holiday, you deserve the time.”

She touched Naveen’s hand tenderly, “Thank you, Naveen, I think I’ll take you up on that.”

She turned over her shoulder and glared at Ethan before turning on her heel and leaving the room.

“Ethan, I did not tell you to leave for you to come down here and harass Casey. Frankly, you have done enough to hurt her already.”

“Naveen, she… he loves her! The two of them…”

“Ethan! I don’t know what’s happening between the two of them, and neither do you. But no matter what it is, it’s none of your business! And, if they are something, you have no one to blame but yourself. You can’t rid yourself of her and then expect her to stay loyal to you! Do you not see how far gone you are? Ethan, please! Go see your father, spend time away, when you come back, I want to see you in my office before you start. This has gone on long enough and it stops now.”

Casey walked down the hall quickly, she didn’t think anyone other than Naveen had overheard her conversation with Ethan, but she did not want to take any chances. She slipped her hand into her pocket, eager to text Tobias and warn him. That’s when she realized she was without her phone. She headed to her locker, hoping she had left it there. Running into the locker room, she sprung her door open and there it was, aglow with text messages from Tobias, Sienna, Bryce, Raf, Jackie… it was good to know the news was all over the hospital. She slunk to the bench in the empty room and placed her head in her hands.

Just then, Tobias came running into the doorway. He turned his head and spotted her sitting dejectedly on the bench several yards away.

“Casey?” he whispered as he made his way to her.

Her eyes sprung up at the sound of his voice and she wrapped her arms around him when he sat next to her. Feeling safe, she began to gently cry.

“It’s OK,” he whispered, rubbing her back, “It’s OK, baby, let it out.”

“He has no right,” she sniffled, “no right to make me feel bad.”

“No, he doesn’t,” he pulled back from the hug and looked at her directly, “so do you?”

“No,” she answered defiantly, “I don’t. I have no reason to be.”

“Damn straight,” Tobias smiled.

“Please, can we go home?”

“You got it, kid, let’s go.”

“Wait!” She said, pulling him back down to the bench. “Can I have one more hug first?”

“I always carry a few extra in case you need them,” he smiled, “so why not?”

The two of them remained on the bench for several minutes, collapsed into each other’s arms. He smiled. He loved her, he wanted so much more, but he was happy to be where he was. She smiled. She was falling for him, she hoped one day there could be more, but she was happy to be where she was.

He was the first to pull free.

“I guess we are blowing the grocery store off then?”

She smiled, “I mean, we could just head to Philly early and do it there. It’s not like my Mom would be unhappy having… well, correction… I’m sure she’d be thrilled to have you join her in the kitchen. Me… she’d probably send me to clean the gutters or something.”

Tobias laughed, “I’ll leave it up to you.”

“Let’s just go home. I’m exhausted.”

“Then I have my marching orders, let’s go,” he said, extending his arm. Casey grabbed on to it and they walked out together.

____________________

Ethan had barely sat in his car before his phone started ringing. He looked at it and rolled his eyes. Clearly, Naveen already made the call.

“Hi, Dad.”

“Hello, Son, I…”

“Let me guess, you got a call from Naveen, and he said…”

“He said you’re on your way down here now, I hope he was correct.”

“Well, I’m sort of sitting in the parking lot at work. I wouldn’t consider that on my way down just yet.”

“Then you have two options. Go home and get your things, and begin heading down here right now. Or, I will gather my things and I will be at your condo in just over an hour. Take your pick, Ethan.”

He sighed.

“I should be on the road to your house within the hour, is that acceptable?”

“Yes, as long as you text when you’re leaving.”

“Deal.”

“Son, I’m glad we will get to spend the holiday together, but you should know. We are not evading things on this visit, we will be having some serious talks.”

“Understood. That’s fine, Dad. I love you.”

“I love you too son, now, get going before it gets late.”

“Will do, I’ll text you when I’m leaving Boston.”

Ethan pushed back into his headrest and closed his eyes. He wasn’t looking forward to the introspection. He wasn’t looking forward to Naveen ordering therapy, but he really didn’t see an out. He wasn’t looking forward to any of it, but he finally accepted that it was necessary, whether he wanted it or not.

He closed his eyes and waited until he heard silence, then he pulled his car out and began driving home. It was time.

I decided to switch to an ask, hope that's okay. So one big reason why I commented in the first place because I thought of you as some crazy shipper, but after talking to you for a while I saw it's not really true. That was purely me being wrong and I apologise. I just went through your whole pinned post and a lot of it was stuff that I already expected and I still don't think I can change you mind but really, a lot of that stuff is things that friends could do. 1/?

Getting dinner together, giving somebody a necklace etc. friends can do that too. Some might even see it as an elaborate marketing strategy. You see it as romantic, because you want to. And most of the stuff, like posting something at a certain date or time of the day or changing song lyrics is just pure speculation. They might be coincidence. Some things might not even have anything to do with them together but something completely else. 2/? You say that you try to not see hints where there are none, but stuff like that, analyzing dates and looking for clues in what exact time of the day a certain thing was posted in sm is just that.You see those things as romance because you want to see them as such, not because they objectively are. That's exactly it, seeing things where there are none. 3/3

I said this more than once already but I am open to having my mind changed. If I didn't, I wouldn't ask for discussions in my pinned post. To have a proper discussion, though, both parties should 1) have the same amount of knowledge on the subject, 2) leave their emotions out of it and 3) be open to the possibility of being wrong. So again; I am open to having a rational discussion about this. If you aren’t, please let me know.

Getting dinner together, giving somebody a necklace etc. friends can do that too.

Of course they can. But do friends feel the need to be secretive about it? When it comes to their dates in June 2018 and December 2019, they spent the night together. Not to mention, they went out of their way to spend 520 - Lunar Valentine's Day - together. Would friends do that? Right after the date in Dec 2019, Yibo wore a pink hoodie to the airport, which as far as we know was the first time he wore pink of his own volition. In his interview with Cosmo two months later, he got asked "what's the first thing that comes to your mind when hearing the word romance?" and his reply was "pink pink". Cp fans think this means that gg was the one who gave him that hoodie since dd himself doesn't like pink. But even if he didn't receive it from gg, Yibo must have been in a romantic mood to be wearing pink - and that, after being with XZ, his “friend”. Regarding the necklace, if it was given by a friend, then why does Yibo constantly wear it yet hide it? To compare, he wears the necklace and ring Han-ge gave him at any event/recording and he wears those openly, too, the way you're supposed to wear jewelry, right? He wears the ox head necklace at events and also in private, in selfies, in between schedules, during rehearsals etc and he started hiding it, i.e. wearing it under his shirts, after fans started fighting about it. Surely, you know that Yibo is an honest/straightforward/blunt person. If we cp fans were wrong with our theory, he would definitely call us out and simultaneously please his solo fans by telling them they're right, thus putting an end to drama among his fans - but he hasn't. The only thing that explains this is assuming he received it from a romantic partner cuz being involved is something that Yibo’s company would not allow him to go public with so instead, he has to hide the necklace as well as his relationship. Likewise, he surely wouldn’t be wearing the necklace all the time if the one who gave it to him wasn’t even closer to his heart than Han-ge is.

Some might even see it as an elaborate marketing strategy.

Marketing what exactly? CQL is over and done with and they don't have other projects together. Not to mention that their connection has brought more harm to their reputations than good and they have way more solo fans than cp fans. Thinking ggdd would go through so much or any trouble just to give credibility to a lie implies that they do it for clout (which neither of them needs or wants) or that they think that queer relationships is something to make fun of or else, that they have no integrity. What exactly is it about them that makes you think they would be such people? They both starred in a BL. Yibo even insisted on trying for that role although he got rejected twice. XZ has shown his support of the lgbt community before. Given Yibo’s entire attitude and e.g. his song lyrics in WuGan, he doesn’t care about fame/clout. He does what he’s passionate about because he’s passionate about it and for money, according to himself. And I don’t think I even need to point out why XZ has clearly no need for more attention. (In fact, his studio asked fans in a recent statement to stop their fan support and voting etc - as a result, his supertopic dropped several spots from the #1, after having been there for months).

And most of the stuff, like posting something at a certain date or time of the day or changing song lyrics is just pure speculation. They might be coincidence.

So what is the limit? How many coincidences do there need to be exactly for them to stop being coincidences? How can posting something at precisely minute 3 or minute 8 always be a coincidence? Especially when XZ wrote in an older weibo post that he uses kadian. He posted at 13:28 in two of his latest updates. On TTXS, Yibo got asked what romantic things he’d do for his partner and he literally said he’d remember certain dates and times and do something surprising. In a more recent weibo, Yibo made a post in support of Han-ge at precisely 21:00 - the kadian of which means "ai ni", love you. He once posted an ad for his mobile game at 18:21 which means "Yi Bo ai ni" and which could have been directed at his fans. Some of their kadian might be but not all of them are reaching and the sheer quantity of all the kadian they've been using proves that those are not coincidences either. Regarding the changing of song lyrics, yes those are speculation. Gg never actually said he'd do that. But the circumstances around those is what makes it seem meaningful. And that time when he changed the lyrics to have the letters ybxz in the beginnings of lines seems meaningful and obvious enough as is.

Some things might not even have anything to do with them together but something completely else.

Of course that is a possibility and one that I am well aware of. I can and do obviously only base my judgement on what we see and know. If there’s something I don’t know that would somehow make my pov wrong, I would be willing to admit that and change my mind. When it comes to things like XZ, changing lyrics to ybxz or Yibo, posting at 10:05 (gg’s birthday) or talking about ordering clothes home to share and then seeing gg in those clothes or gg posting at times that have Yibo’s name or dd, posting at times that have XZ’s name - make it unmistakable to me that they are each other’s special someone and not anyone else’s. Since those things only fit each other.

You see those things as romance because you want to see them as such, not because they objectively are. That's exactly it, seeing things where there are none.

At the beginning of your message, you apologized for assuming I’m a crazy shipper but you end the message with this. “Seeing things where there are none” is what I’d consider crazy shipping so that last sentence sounds like an insult to me. I don’t know what to make of this, lol. Your assumption that I want to see those things as romance is wrong. They’d have it soooo much easier if they were just friends, why in God’s name would I want them to have it more difficult? They wouldn’t feel the need to hide so much, to be so distant in public. We’d probably get fanservice and selfies and joined endorsements. The scandal from February may not have ever happened cuz they’d definitely have fewer cp fans. It’d be awesome if they were nothing more than friends. Not to mention that making wrong claims about a relationship between two real people, solely based on what my desires are, is selfish - it’s about what I want instead of what is. I do not have that attitude. The fact that I wanted to believe they’re just friends is precisely why it took me several months to concede that I must be wrong. I kept dismissing all that I saw as coincidences or as platonic. I do not want ggdd to be lovers but I also don’t want to deny reality. I know that my perception may be fallible, though, so of course I am open to discussing this. I would welcome being proven wrong about this. You don’t properly back up your claims and your arguments don’t take all that we know into consideration. Which is why so far, at least, you haven’t made me see differently.

Reacting To: The Hollow (Season 2 Episode 2)

Episode Title: Hollow Games

Key Highlights (Spoiler Warning): Kindly proceed if you’ve already seen the episode or simply don’t care about spoilers.

This episode was amazingly gay, wasn’t it? Let’s begin:

1. The episode picks up where things left off in episode 1. Our favorite trio are being cornered by their greatest childhood fears.

2. Mira decides to confront Adam’s fears for him and the rest of them follow her lead with Adam taking on Mabel, the giant chicken and Kai taking on creepy doll. The guys take on a physical approach but Mira tries to reason with the bullies. Unfortunately, none of their methods are working.

3. Amidst all of this, we find out that Mira has an older sister on top of her younger brother, Miles.

4. At one point, Adam is pinned down by Mabel with its foot and Kai sees that he’s in trouble and goes to rescue him.

5. Kai yells and tells Mabel that he’s not afraid of it and as it’s about to charge right at him, it disintegrates. I like how Kai is the one to save Adam this time around instead of the opposite because it’s usually Adam who saves him. Basically, they discover that facing their own fears is the way to go. Well, it’s pretty obvious, no? But it seems a little too easy for all of them to conquer their fears by just yelling at them. Oh well...

6. After the showdown, they head back to Kai’s big mansion to make sense of what’s happening to them. During their discussion, Kai seems to regret having had a crush on Mira because she’s Miles’s sister. What’s the deal with her brother, Miles? Oh right, we’ll find out later in the episode.

7. Hold up, hold up, hold up! Kai still thinks that Adam and Mira have a ‘thing’ for each other and he doesn’t want to get in between them. Is this going where I think it’s going?

8. OMFG!!! Stop everything! Drop everything. Kai said “I’m gay”. He said the word GAY. And he said it so casually! I didn’t expect this coming out to happen so early on in the season. I love it! Kai’s reaction was cute and totally chill. But poor Mira almost had forgotten that she actually kissed Adam. She apologizes to him and blames it on the memory block she had due to the game. Sure Mira :)

9. But seriously; It’s pretty clear Mira knew that he was gay all along and I’m sure if she had her memories with her at that time, she wouldn’t have kissed him. Oh and Adam is aware he’s attractive. Of course he is! How can anyone resist someone who is as tall, dark and handsome as he is.

10. I’m smiling so hard right now. But anyways, back to the situation at hand; They’re now talking about the glitch they saw when they were playing the game (back in season 1) and how the glitch was able to create such an accurate depiction of their lives. Adam thinks that they’re now on Level 2 of ‘The Hollow’ but Mira isn’t buying that theory. Master Kai still thinks it’s all a dream. Will he just stop?! LOL

11. They call for The Weird Guy’s help but nothing happened. Mira thinks they should look for him at The Hollow Games studio. But before they could all leave for the studio, they’re stopped by Davis, Kai’s butler. He insists that Miles should head to bed and that Mira and Adam leave the mansion.

12. If you look closely at his sleeves, the initials K P are on it. That means Kai’s last name starts with a P. I wonder what it is? Maybe it’s Parnall for Connor Parnall, the voice actor for Kai? I think it’s adorable how he says, “Silly Adam” before going to bed.

13. Mira drops Adam outside his home but she’s too wary of everything that’s happening around them and isn’t convinced that Adam should trust his parents and stay with them. I completely understand Mira. She really wants everything to be solved asap and she wants to go to the studio to see The Weird Guy tonight. But there are too many uncertainties and she has to consider what both Adam and Kai want as well. She also feels like she can’t trust Adam because she doesn’t know if he’s real or part of the game mechanics.

14. On the other hand, Adam thinks that they’re on Level 2 of the game and they just need to live like they usually do and wait for quests or challenges to appear before them. It’s sad to watch them argue. I guess that’s how being in a complex game/experiment-thingy does to your mind; You can’t help but to come up with any sort of scenario.

15. Okay, so we now know that Mira and Adam are actually childhood best friends prior to starting the game. They even carved their initials on a sidewalk.

16. Remember in my episode 1 review when I said Adam’s mom is creepy. This scene right here takes the entire cake for me. *Shudders

17. Adam is busy searching for clues in his room and finds a Moby Dick book but with completely blank pages. How strange. This world is really messed up. Mira is driving through town and sees Skeet speed-running on the streets. This should be interesting. Since last season, I’ve always thought of Skeet to potentially work with the main trio one day since he was so reluctant to fight them. We shall see what happens deeper into the season.

18. The next morning, Adam and Kai meet up outside the donut shop and Kai is freaking out because he says he hasn’t woken up from his dream. He tells him about a new theory he has to explain why everyone is acting so weird: an Alien Invasion. I honestly can believe any explanation at this point because everything is so messed up.

19. Mira didn’t show up and they become worried. They walk over to Mira’s house and ring the doorbell. It’s Miles! And he immediately recognizes Kai. Miles and Kai seem to be gaming buddies.

QUESTION: I’m now wondering about how long Kai has known Mira and Adam prior to ‘The Hollow’. I guess he could be childhood friends with them too?

20. Adam thinks that Mira probably went to the Hollow Games studio last night and they make their way over there. They are stopped by a security guard who doesn’t even know what building she’s guarding and isn’t aware of ‘The Hollow’. I guess this supports my theory that only current game players know what ‘The Hollow’ is.

21. Is it just me or does Adam always feels like he has to touch Kai in some way or form, every chance he gets? I’m not complaining though.

22. Darla is hilarious and I totally stan her. We need to see more from her and her ex, Steve. Apparently Reeve is or was friends with Adam and Mira in real life. From my understanding, all three of them were in a team (for The Hollow?) before something happened and they had to recruit Kai as his replacement. I love all the backstory we’re getting. This season is doing a good job with that. And this explains the picture of the 3 of them in Adam’s room last episode. It’s such a contrast because they were kinda direct enemies last season.

23. They sneak into the building to find Mira and they’re pretty sure she’s in there because her scooter is parked outside.

24. It looks like it’s ‘The Hollow’ champions wall. We see a picture of Gretchen Aguilar and her team but no sign of Adam, Mira and Kai on that wall. This further confirms their suspicion that they haven’t actually won the game yet.

25. They head to the stage room where the participants would wear their VR-looking googles and play ‘The Hollow’. Kai trips on a cable that he suspects is connected to a server room that powers the game. But Adam calls him from what it appears to be the control room as he is looking through files to gather more information.

26. After surviving a random and sudden earthquake, they come across the server room but they are swarmed by a bunch of laser-shooting bots. They barricade themselves inside the room, which has a broken wall that leads to a big portal. They suspect that Mira jumped through that very portal.

27. Adam isn’t sure if they should enter that portal but time is running out and they need to make a decision fast.

28. Any excuse to touch Kai huh? He is so smitten by him (I need to stop lol)

29. The episode ends with the two of them literally taking a leap of faith into the portal. Stay tuned for my reaction to episode 3, which will be out very soon. BTW y’all, I’m still not over Adam’s coming out scene to Kai! Cue me replaying that scene over and over again.

I DID MY BEST TO PROOF READ THIS, SORRY IF THERE ARE STILL SOME GRAMMAR MISTAKES!

. * 　　　 ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . * ⁺ ⁺

You ring the doorbell to Yoongi’s Genius Lab and wait patiently.

After hearing a few electronic beeping sounds, the door is being pulled open. You are happy to see a pair of bright eyes and a heart shaped mouth, forming a smile at you.

“Hi Hobi,” You greet him and stand on your toes to reach his lips for a peck. “Hi Angel, thanks for coming!” He says after kissing you back and stepping aside so you can step in.

Once you enter the room, your eyes land on Namjoon, whose arms are already stretched out, waiting to receive a hug from you. You giggle at how cute he is. “Hi Joonie,” You say as you step into his arms. He waste no time wrapping his arms around your waist and you wrap yours around his head, softly holding him to your chest as you stroke your fingers through the strands of hair at the back of his head.

Namjoon closes his eyes and enjoys the soothing feeling of your fingers in his hair.

It’s only been a few days since you’ve seen him but he always misses you dearly when you’re apart.

Still wrapped in Joon’s arms, your eyes meet the side of on Yoongi’s face.

His bottom lip is pulled in between his teeth as he focuses on the computer screen in front of him. He hasn’t turned to see you since you entered the studio which isn’t unusual.

Most people would take offense to him not greeting them when they arrive but you know Yoongi well enough by now to know that that’s just the way he is.

Usually when he’s focused on his music, he has little to no time to pay attention to anything else.

“Hi Yoongs,” You finally say, just wanting to let him know you’re there. “Hi Kitten.” He responds, not taking his eyes away from the screen.

“He’s been like that since we got here earlier.” Namjoon mumbles to you and you nodded understandably. You unwrapped yourself from Joon and walk over to where Hoseok is sitting on the couch. You find your place on the plush seat next to him. He drapes his arm over your shoulder, pulling you closer to him and you snuggle up into his side.

“So what goes on?… Why did you guys tell me to come here?” You asks, mindlessly playing with Hoseok’s hand. You use the tip of your finger to trace the skin over each bulging vein.

You never thought yourself to be a person who is attracted to someone’s hands but as mentioned before, a lot has changed since you met the boys...

“We just wanted to see you.” Namjoon speaks up and you have to raise an eyebrow at him in suspicion.

‘I just saw you a few days ago.’ You think to yourself. 

“Ok, not that I don’t want to see you guys too but y’all never really invite to the studio.” You say crossing your arms over your chest. “So excuse me if I don’t believe that you told me to come over just because you missed me...” You add in disbelief.

“I always invite you over.” Hoseok protest you, moving his hand down to wrap securely around your waist.

“Yes, I know Hobi but these two,” You say pointing between Namjoon and Yoongi. “Never want me around.” You say jokingly with a pout forming on your lips. “Lies, you tell.” Namjoon argues and you giggle.

“There’s a reason why I don’t invite you here when I’m working and you know that...” Yoongi says, finally turning around in his chair to face you.

You take a few seconds to take in his appearance. He’s dressed in all black... One of your biggest weaknesses.

A beanie on his head, a hoodie, some sweatpants and a pair of Balenciaga sneakers on his feet to finish off the look.

Although he looks good enough to eat, you can tell by the look in his eyes that he is exhausted. You almost want to scold him because you know he’s been staring at the computer screen all day, probably hasn’t even eaten or taken a break, but you refrain from doing so as you know it would be pointless…

He’s going to do what he wants, especially when it comes to his music, even if it means working himself tirelessly...

“Why do I always tell you that you can’t come here while I’m working?” Yoongi asks again, getting you out of your thoughts. He looks at you expectingly.

“Because, I’ll be a DiStRaCtIoN.” You say in a mocking tone while holding your fingers up to put air quotes around the word. Yoongi can’t help be chuckle at your antics. “Bingo.” He confirms before swiveling back around in his chair.

“Well I for one,” Hoseok starts, gathering the attention of you and Namjoon. “Love when you come visit me Angel.” He says, theres a hint of mischief in his voice and you know exactly why.

“Yeah because her visits to your studio always ends with her mouth around your cock.” Namjoon apparently knows why too…

You bit back a smile and hold your hands up to your cheek as they start to warm up from embarrassment. “I won’t deny that that is true but it’s not the only reason why I like when she comes around…” Hobi informs him. “I mean that’s a big factor but not the only reason.” He says, and you blush furiously before hiding your face in his chest.

“Cute.” Namjoon coos, beaming over at you.

He thinks you’re the most adorable when you’re flustered, as do the other boys.

You know you should be used to these types of conversations with your boyfriend by now and you know they’re even more detailed when you’re not around but for some reason they still make you blush like a little school girl… You can’t help it.

“Any who,” You say as remove your face from Hoseok’s chest. “Why am I here?” You ask, getting back on topic.

“We need your help with something.” Yoongi informs you, eyes still glued to his computer. “Something like?” You ask curiously.

“A song." Namjoon tells you.

“You need my help? With a song?” If you were confused before, you are even more so now.

Why would the guys ask for your help with a song… It’s not like you’re music expert or anything. Yes, you understand the basics... You know what it is and you enjoy it but anything beyond that? Nope.

“Yeah we want you to listen to something we’ve been working on.” Hoseok explains. “We got the beat down but we feel like it could be better.” He continues.

“It’s missing something.” Namjoon voices.

You nod your head, letting them know you understand what they’re asking of you. They just want me to listen and give your input. That doesn’t sound too hard…

You suddenly perk up in your seat when you realize this is probably a song that no one else has heard yet. You’ll be the first to listen to it… You feel a sense of pride swelling in your chest knowing they respect your opinion enough to let you listen to one of their unreleased songs.

“Okay, I don’t know how much help I’ll be but I’ll take a listen.”

“Nice!” Hobi says enthusiastically.

Soon after the word leaves his mouth, Yoongi hits a button on his keypad and a beat starts to pour through the speakers in the studio.

Yoongi swirls back around in the chair to face the rest of you.

The beat starts off slow. It is definitely giving R&B vibes. It’s very… sensual and different from the usual style of music they do.

You bob your head as the tempo picks up just a bit.

You don’t noticed that they boys are watching you intently… You are too immersed in what you’re hearing to pay attention to anything else.

You continue bobbing your head to the rhythm. So far so good. You really like it and just from what you hear, you already know whatever lyrics the boys decide add later, will make the song ten times better.

But you do agree, there is definitely something missing. You’re not sure what but, there could be more, like Namjoon mentioned.

“What do you think?” Yoongi asks after the beat fades out. “I love it.” You say immediately. “I love all your other music but this is different…” You explain. “It smooth... It flows nicely... It’s more sexy?” You try not to cringe at the use of the word sexy but you couldn’t think of a better word to express what you mean.

“Thats what we were going for.” Hoseok says proudly beside you. You beam up at him, happy because he is happy.

“Although it’s already good, I do understand what you mean about it missing something…”

“Right? There could be more.” Namjoon suggest and you nod.

“Which is why we thought about you.” Hoseok confesses and you turn your head to look at him.

“Me? Why would you think about me?” You ask in confusion.

 “We thought your voice would be a nice contribution...” Yoongi says.

“Ha!” You laugh out loud, throwing your head back. Namjoon chuckles with you and Hobi smiles. “You’re joking right?” You ask with amusement in your voice.

“Nope, not at all.” Yoongi say without a hint of humor in his.

You look at the three of them, your mouth falls open slightly, in both shock and disbelief.

“The three of you are aware of the fact that I cannot sing right? Like can’t hold a note to save my life... I’m worse than Joon in the shower.” Yoongi’s eyes scrunch closed and his shoulders visibly start to shake as he laughs at your statement. Namjoon on the other hand did not find it funny. “Hey! I can sing.” He says, glaring at you. “I know you can baby but in the shower? Not so much.” You retort. You feel a slight pinch on your thigh which causes you to yelp softly. You look over at Hoseok, knowing he’s the one who inflicted the pain on you. “Don’t be mean.” He warns you, with an amused smile on his face. “I’m not!” You defend yourself. “Joon knows I’m only kidding, right baby?” You say before getting up from the couch to walk over to Namjoon. You plant yourself in his lap and he instantly wraps his arms around you.

If he was mad at you before, there’s no sign of him being mad now.

“Anyways,” Yoongi speaks up. “We weren’t asking you to sing.” He informs you.

“You weren’t?” You say a puzzled look on your face.

“Mm, mm.” Yoongi hums and shakes his head.

“Then what?” You ask.

“We were hopping to use you voice for something else...” Hoseok mentions. You look at him, curiosity taking over you features.

“Okay...” You trail off, wanting him to give you a proper explanation.

“Something different...” Namjoon chimes in, his voice has suddenly dropped an octave and if you weren’t so perplexed about what the boys needed your voice for, you probably would’ve felt the tingle you always feel in your abdomen, every time he uses that voice on you.

“Why does it feel like you guys are beating around the bush...”

Yoongi sighs. “Cause they are...” He says. He spins his chair around to face you for third time tonight. “We want you to moan for the song.” Yoongi blurts out and had you been drinking anything, you would’ve spat it out in shock, right in front of him.

“W-what?” You stuttered out.

You’re not sure if you heard Yoongi correctly, he does have a tendency to mumble when he speaks sometimes...

Maybe he didn’t actually say what you thought he did.

“We’d like to record you moaning for the song.” Yoongi says.

“Ok, so you did say what I thought you said.” You mumble to yourself. You sit up in your seat, placing your hands neatly in your lap. “Lemme get this straight,” You start, looking around the room to see each of their facial expression as you talk. “You all called me over here because you want to record the sound of me moaning… For your song?” You question. Even saying it out loud, it sounds fucking ridiculous. This has to be a joke.

“Correct.” Yoongi confirms nonchalantly while nodding his head.

You clear your throat… “I’m flattered really, I am but I don’t think it’s a good idea.” Your voice is filled with worry. “Why not?” Without turning to face him, you can almost hear the pout that you know is on Hobi’s face and you hate to reject them but you can’t help but think of the fans.

You're sure ARMY would get suspicious if the boys released a song with some random girl moaning in the background. Releasing a song like that would be basically be like ratting yourself out because, knowing the fans - they’d just dig and dig until they find what they’re looking for. You’ve done an exceptional job a keeping things under wraps so far... No need to break the streak now.

"What about the fans?" You finally voice your concern. "Hm?” He hums cutely. “Why do you ask Baby girl?" Namjoon asks, tilting his head to the side like a puppy would if they were curious. "Well, I'm sure ARMY would have a lot to say after hearing a girl moaning in the background of one of your songs." You stated causing Yoongi to chuckle.

"We've already thought about that and have come up with a solution."

"Enlighten me..."

"First of all, your voice would be subtle in the background.” Yoongi begins explaining.“We'd be rapping over it, so it wouldn't be picked up right away.” He continues.

“We'll blend it into the beat so it sounds more like an instrument rather than anything else.” Namjoon chimes in.

“And if they do catch it-...” You cut him off, “Which they will… You forgot that your fandom is exceptionally sharp and quick witted.” You state the obvious. “If they do catch it…” Hoseok picks up from where Yoongi has left off. “We’ll just tell them that we’ve taken Jungkook’s voice and pitched it up. They’ll have a field day with that.” He seems enthusiastic about the situation.

“So why don’t you just do that instead… Use Kookie’s voice” You suggest, wondering why they’d wanted to take a risk by using yours. “We don’t want too use Kookie’s voice… We want to use yours.” Yoongi says bluntly.

“Isn’t it too risky?” The weariness in your tone makes Namjoon raise an eyebrow at you.  “You really don’t want to do this huh?” He asks, a hint of sorrow in his voice.

You know it must sound like you are coming up with every excuse in the book to not have your moan recorded but you just want to make sure the boys have thoroughly thought this through and will have no regrets later on.

“No, it’s not that I don’t want to… I’m definitely intrigued but I just don’t want this to cause any problems. I don’t want ARMY to be upset or anything…” You say solemnly.

“You’re so considerate, its cute but you don’t have to worry. We know what you’re doing.” Namjoon assures you.

“It’ll be fun Angel… The song will be even more special this way and only the three of us and the kids will know about this.”

“The other boys are on board with this?”

“Jungkook was the one who said to tell ARMY it’s his voice.” Yoongi notifies you.

“Hmm….” You hum to yourself. Thinking for a few seconds about whether or not this would actually be a good idea.

“So what do you say?” Namjoon is impatiently waiting for a response.

A few beats of silence pass before you finally give in. “Okay.” You say shrugging your shoulders. You trust your boys and if they say it’s going to be fine then it’s going to be fine.

“That’s our girl. Come on, let’s go.” Namjoon says standing up.

Fuck, you didn’t think they’d want to start immediately. “Right now?” You ask, suddenly feeling a little nervous.

“Of course, why waste time.” Yoongi says as if it’s the most obvious thing in the world.

Hoseok stands too and holds his hand out for you. You put your hand in his and he leads you to the recording booth… Namjoon follows closely behind.

Yoongi stays seated, messing around with all the little buttons and knobs on the sound equipment. "Aren't you coming my love?" You ask, directing your attention to him. He shakes his head. "I have to stay here, make sure everything is running smoothly but don't fret Kitten, I'll be watching you." He assures you.

A pout falls on your lips. You want him to be in there with you too...

As you step into the booth, you are greeted by an array of plush blankets and pillows covering the center of the floor.

It seems like the boys had been anticipating you agreeing to do this for them, already making arrangements to keep you as comfortable as possible during the recording process. “How did you guys know I’d say yes?” You ask, turning around to face Joon and Yoongi. “Cause’ we know you and you’d do anything for us.” Yoongi’s voice fills the room you’re in, even though he’s on the opposite side of the glass.

You’re not sure how recording booths work but you suppose he can hear everything that is and will soon take place in the room.

You just nodded in agreement at his statement. He’s one hundred percent correct about that... You’d do anything for them.

Hoseok gets down on the floor, sitting comfortably on the plush blankets. He spreads his legs open for you. “Come sit Angel,” He instructs you and you spring into action, getting down on the floor to sit in between Hoseok’s legs with your back pressed against his chest.

You lightly lean back against him, not wanting to put too much of your weight on him in fear that you might hurt his back because of the position he is in.

“Comfortable?” He asks against your ear and you nod your head, rubbing your hands over the softness of the blanket you’re sitting on.

“Nervous?” Namjoon inquires next, squatting down so that he can meet your gaze. Your eyes suddenly drift down to the thickness of his thighs...

To be honest, you noticed them as soon as you came into the studio… The way they look in the black shorts he’s wearing, how thick they’ve gotten and the way the muscles in them beginning to bulge a bit whenever he flexes them, even more so now with new position he’s taken on.

Oh how you’d love to have his thighs in between your own right now. The thought of you rubbing your core on his muscular thigh sends a delicious shiver down spine. You pull your bottom lip in between your teeth to stop the whimper that is at the back of your throat.

Namjoon notices this and a smirk forms on his lips. He knows one of your favorite things about him is his thighs and he knows it drives you insane when he wears shorts but he does it anyways to get a reaction out of you.

You finally snatch your eyes away from his lower half to look up at him. He’s smirking at you...

You’ve been caught staring... Again.

“Huh?” You ask, hoping he’d repeat whatever it was that he asked you. “I said are you nervous?” He asks again. “Oh... Uh, a little bit.” You say truthfully, looking down at your hands. Namjoon reaches out and grabs hold of your them to stop you from nervously fiddling with them. “Don’t be baby girl.” He tries to assure you. “Yeah, it’s just us... And don’t we always take care of you?” Hobi adds, kissing your bare shoulder. “I know you guys will... I’m not worried about that... Just the whole idea of being record is...” Your voice trails off. “Is what?” You hear Yoongi’s voice again. You look over to see him standing up with his hands on his hips, staring at you through the glass window. “What if I sound weird…” You say shyly which causes the men around you to laugh. “Not possible baby girl. You make sweetest sounds I’ve ever heard and I’d really like to hear them now if you don’t mind.” Namjoon tells you and you feel your face and body heat up with arousal at his words.

“Okay...” You say softly.

Suddenly the lights in the recording booth are being dimmed down to set the mood. You assume it’s Yoongi’s doing. “Just relax, okay?” Hoseok comforts you, by wrapping his arms around your waist.

“Whenever you guys are ready.” Yoongi encourages you all.

Hoseok is quick to pepper kisses on the exposed skin of your shoulder and neck. You tilt your head to the side to give him more access, always loving the feeling of his mouth on you. “Mmm.” He hums contently. “You always smell so good.” He compliments you and your face heats up for the hundredth time tonight. “Thank you?” You respond softly, not sure of what else to say.

Hobi chuckles at how adorable you are.

Your eyes start to flutter open and closed as the feeling of Hoseok’s lips on your neck cause a warmth to spread between your legs. You can feel your heat getting wetter by the minute... It’s becoming a bit uncomfortable and you’re itching to get out of the leggings you’re in.

Namjoon is now on his knees in front of you. He brings his hand forward to brush the back of it across the side of your face. “Our beautiful girl.” He whispers and you smile, leaning into his touch.

Your heart feels like it might explode from the affection and attention you’re receiving from your boys. In times like this, you can’t seem to wrap your head around the fact that you are actually in a relationship with seven amazing men who adore you and worship the ground you walk on....

You of all people?

‘How did I get so lucky?’ You think.

Namjoon leans forward until your faces are only a few inches apart. His breath is fanning over your lips. “I love you.” He mumbles sweetly. You respond by leaning forward, closing the rest of the distance between the two of you so that you can press your lips against his full ones. Namjoon can’t hold back the smirk forming on his lips as the two of you begin molding your mouths together, all the while Hoseok is still attacking your neck, leaving a beautiful array of lust induced bruises on your skin.

He unwraps his hands from around your waist to place them against your thighs. He grips them softly, causing a small whimper to escape your mouth.

Any little touch counts at this point.

When your lips part for a brief second, Joon takes the opportunity to pull your plump bottom lip between his teeth. He nibbles softly on it then sucks it into his mouth before letting it spring back into place.

You almost whine at the lost of Joon’s lips from yours. You want more, you always want more. You lift your hands up to grab hold of the strings on his hoodie, pulling him closer to you with as much force as you can. You smash your lips against his frantically, eager to taste more of him. He groans against your mouth and you waste no time slipping your tongue in.

The taste of his mouth is familar yet so sweet. It swallows you whole and makes your cunt tingle with anticipation. If you could spend the rest of your life making out with Kim Namjoon, you do it.

“She’s wearing too much clothes.” The impatient tone of Yoongi’s voice catches you off guard. You pull away from Joon to give your attention to Yoongi. His eyes are burning into you, so much so that you can feel an electric shock pulse through you just from his gaze.

You wish he were in the room with the rest of you.

“Is that so Angel? Should we take these off?” Hoseok says as he pulls on the hem of your shirt. “And these.” Namjoon hooks his fingers in the band of your leggings, teasingly pulling at them.

“Please.” You say in needy breath, not sure if you can take much more of how slow things are progressing.

You just want them to play with your pussy already.

“Always so polite.” Joon smirks at you and your clit throbs instantly at the sound of his voice.

You need these panties off, immediately.

“Arms up Angel.” Hoseok instructs you and you do as you’re told, sitting up straight and lifting your arms up for him.

Hobi hurriedly takes your shirt off, exposing the ugly heather grey sports bra you’re wearing. You suddenly feel self conscious, wrapping your arms around yourself. “Uh uh uh.” Yoongi tsk at you. “Don’t cover yourself up Kitten. I wanna see you.” He commands.

“If I had known…” You moan out as Hobi nibbles on your earlobe. “That coming here, would end with me being half naked…. I would’ve worn something prettier.” You try to make an excuse for yourself, thinking that they wouldn’t be happy with your appearance.

Hoseok laughs against your skin. “Oh Angel.” He says against your skin. “You’re pretty in everything…” He informs you.

“It also doesn’t matter what you’re wearing,” Namjoon says from in front of you. “It’s all coming off anyways.” He starts to tug your leggings and panties down in one go, causing you to lift your hips off the blanket.

When the material is completely off your body, he tosses it behind him. You hear it hit the floor with a soft thud.

Namjoon’s eyes fall on to your wet center. Your lips are glistening with your arousal and in Namjoon’s eyes, you are the most appetizing thing he’s ever seen.

“Fuck, she’s dripping.” Namjoon thinks out loud.

“God, I bet.” Hoseok growls, just the thought of how wet you are is making his pants feel a lot tighter.

“Fuck.” Yoongi groans at the sight of you.

“Let’s give Hyung a show, yea?” Hoseok mumbles in your ear for just the two of you to hear. “Yes,” The word is strained as it leaves your mouth.

“Spread her open for me Hobi.” Namjoon instructs the man behind you.

“My pleasure.” He starts. “I can’t wait to get my fingers wet…” He kisses the side of your head before sliding his hands in between your legs, his index finger slipping in between your folds. You throw your head back against his shoulder, eyes fluttering closed. “You’re so soft and warm.” He compliments you. His finger glides easily against your harden nub. You lift your hips up off the floor, wanting to feel more friction against your clit. “So needy.” He says teasingly.

“I said spread her, not play with her.” Namjoon hisses, laying down on his stomach, positioning himself comfortably between your thighs. He kisses a trail up from your knee too the middle of your thigh.

“Sorry Joon, I couldn’t help it.” Hoseok confesses as he hooks his hands under your thighs, spreading you open wider.

Namjoon and Yoongi now have a full view of your glorious cunt. He watches in amazement as your hole clenches around nothing. His dick twitches in his pants at the sight.

You’re so pink and pretty and swollen for them and he can’t wait to taste you.

Namjoon goes back to peppering open mouth kisses on your inner high. He’s leaving a scorching trail with his lips on your skin, getting closer to your core... You think he’s finally going to give you what you want but he switches his attention over to the right thigh before he gets to your most needy part.

“No more teasing... Please.” You beg as he nibbles on your skin. “Someone’s impatient.” Hoseok mocks, followed by a devious smirk from Namjoon between your legs.

He grips your knees, using them the pull you a little closer to him. Your back slides further down the front Hoseok’s body. You can now feel his thick, hard cock pressed against the middle of your back. You want so desperately to take care of it for him, but the thought flies out of your mind the minute Namjoon licks stripe from the bottom of your pussy to your clit. “Oh fuck,” You moan out instantly, back arching against Hoseok.

He removes one hand from underneath your thigh, sliding up your side to caress your skin. He slips his hand under the band of your sports to grab the hold of your bare breast, gripping it softly before kneading the flesh as best as he can within the confinements of the material.

Namjoon on the other end is licking into to you repeatedly, the grit of his tongue gliding in between your folds is causing a string of soft moans to escape your lips.

It feels so good but of course it’s not enough for you. You put your hands on his head and grip at his hair. “More.” You breath out. “What was that Angel?” Hoseok asks, being the only one to have heard you... Or so you thought. “She wants more.” Yoongi informs his members. “More what?” Namjoon speaks against your wet center. The sounds of his voice vibrating against you, making your hips buck forward. “Please, suck my clit.” You beg him, not caring how weak and pathetic you sound at the moment.

“Ah,” Namjoon says in realization. “Patience Baby girl, I was getting there.” He assures you and you almost let out a groan because patience is something you don’t have enough of right now but Yoongi’s voice stops you from doing so...

“You guys aren’t doing your best tonight.” He teases the other boys. “If I were in there, Kitten would’ve been on her second orgasm by now.” Yoongi says smugly.

You don’t have to look over to him to know there’s a cocky grin on his face.

Namjoon growls at Yoongi’s words before diving mouth first into your pussy. He pays special attention to your clit, lapping his tongue around it. You throw your head back in pleasure, pulling at Namjoon’s hair.

‘Yes, this is what I’ve been waiting for.’

“Fu-uck yes! Right there Joonie,” You moan out loudly. “Right here?” He responds, mouth wrapped snuggly around your clit. He sucks it into his mouth, savoring the taste of you.

You begin panting, the more he sucks on you. You’re chest heaving and your mind spiraling at the pleasure building inside of you.

Yoongi’s words must’ve also lit fire underneath Hoseok with the way he is frantically pulling your bra up over your breast, freeing them from the god forsaken cage that was your sport bra.

Both his hands come down to cup your perky round breast in his palms. He began rolling your nipples between his index and thumb. You whimper out at the feeling.

There is so much going on that you’re sure you will not last long.

You hadn’t realized but you’ve been lifting your hips up off the floor to meet Joon’s mouth. “You’re so eager Kitten.” Yoongi confirms from where he’s sat.

At this point you were a moaning uncontrollably, whimpering weakly between the two men, panting their names back and forth.

Namjoon was making a mess of both you and his mouth. He pulled away from you, letting out a ragged breath in the process. His lips glazed are over with your arousal, breath fanning heavily over your swollen clit.

“God, you taste amazing. You always taste so amazing.” He compliments you. His words causing your pussy clench around nothing

He brings his hand up, taking two fingers to run up and down between your lips. The tip of his fingers brush against you sensitive bud. You breath out, the sound of your moan getting caught in your throat. “That’s it baby. Nice a loud for me.” Yoongi encourages you.

“You’re doing so well.” Hoseok praises. You want to respond to him but Namjoon sliding his fingers into your tight hole causes you to lose your train of thought. “Oh my god.” You whimper, your eyes screw shut. “How are so tight?” Namjoon questions you before latching his mouth back on to your clit.

He plunges fingers in and out of you, the wet squelching sounds of your pussy, mixed in with your moan and ragged breathing fill the room.

“Fuck” You hear Yoongi groan, you take a chance and glance at him... Your mouth falls open at the view. His head is thrown back against his chair, his neck and adams apple is on full display... The way is bobs as he swallows does something to you. You can’t see anything past his waist but it doesn’t take rocket science to know that the up and down movement of his arm, means that he is pumping the flesh of his cock between his palm. The sight of Yoongi is enough to push you closer to your climax.

“Yoongi,” You moan out his name, his head snaps up to look at you and he smirks when he realizes he’s been caught. “I can’t wait to get my hands on you Kitten.” He informs you, his voice is so desperate and needy that you almost want to run to him and drop to your needs before him.

You swear you were about to beg Yoongi to let you suck his dick but Namjoon begins making out with your clit as his fingers pump relentlessly inside of you. “Come on Baby Girl.” Namjoon encourages. “Please cum for me. I want you to cum around my fingers, please.” He begs as he curls his fingers up, moving them against a certain sensitive spot inside you. “You’ve been doing so well Angel.” Hoseok tells you. “Making such pretty noises for us.” He adds.

The pressure you feel on your abdomen is heavy... Something finally snaps inside of you after building up for the past 5 minutes, you can feel your orgasm consume you. It feels like being submerged under a pool of pleasure.

Your body shakes in Hoseok’s arms, all the while Namjoon is still giving you his all, mouth and fingers still on and in you. You begin pushing his head away from your core, “I-I can’t...” You nearly scream out. “One more.” It’s Yoongi’s voice again, he is pumping feverishly against his cock, his breathing is staggered and his words are strained.

“You can give us one more Angel.” Hoseok’s voice is so sweet, yet so sinful in your ear and you can’t decide which side of him you like more at the moment.

Namjoon is up on his knees now, steadying himself with his fingers still in you. He pumps them in and out of you and places his thumb on your clit, pressing down hard. You yelp and buck your hips, feeling another orgasm approaching.

You didn’t even have enough time to recover from the first one. “Joonie,” You whine out his name, ready to beg him to stop. The overstimulation is way too much that tears start to prickle your eyes. “Gimme one more Baby, just one.” He says, fingers pumping mercilessly.

Hoseok puts his fingers under your chin and turns your head towards his. His lips crash down on yours as a way to distract you and it works for a bit when he slips his tongue into your mouth and sucks on your bottom lip but then you hear Yoongi panting and grunting from the opposite side of the glass. Your pussy clenches tightly around Namjoon’s fingers at the sound. “That’s it Baby girl.” Namjoon speaks lowly, as if he’s talking more to himself than to you.

You gasps against Hoseok’s mouth as you feel a familiar warmth roll over inside you. Your mouth falls open but the sounds is caught in your throat, as your orgasms washes over you for the second time. You eyes roll back into your head for a brief second before you hear Yoongi’s voice again... “Look at me.” He growls. He selfishly wants your attention as he is also about to come undone in his hands. You force yourself to keep your eyes open, giving Yoongi the eye contact he asked for.

He grunts and groans as he cums, making sounds you are all too familiar with as you have been the cause of them many times.

Namjoon watches you ride out the rest of your orgasm, cumming all over his fingers, palm and the blanket. He smirks, seeing your arousal drip down your thighs.

You look so pretty like this, completely lost in lusts, covered in your sticky, sweet substance and flushed beyond belief.

He pulls his fingers out of you and you whimper at the loss.

“You are amazing.” Hoseok whispers in your hair, placing multiple kisses to the top of your head. He brings his hand up to wipe the sweat off your forehead. You skin feels warm under his palm. “I’m proud of you Baby girl.” You smile tiredly at Namjoon. “Did you get it Yoongs?” You ask curiously and Yoongi chuckles in the same tired manner. “Oh yea, I definitely got it,” Yoongi confirms and your smile grows a little bit wider.

“I hope you guys invite me to the studio more often.” You say after finally catching your breath. This causes your boyfriends to laugh out loud. Hoseok wraps his arms securely around you and sways side to side. “You’re always invited.” He tells you and you hum contently.

“Let’s get you cleaned up.” Namjoon says before popping his fingers into his mouth. He nonchalantly sucks your arousal off them while standing up to retrieve your leggings. “What about the three of you?” You say, eyes traveling to the tent in Joon’s pants. You feel bad that you hadn’t been able to touch or pleasure them the whole entire time. You wanted to return the favor.

“Oh don’t worry Kitten.” Yoongi tells you.

“We’re gonna clean up then we’re taking you back home.” There is an insanely smug look on his face, you’re not too sure how what is going on in his mind but you would certainly love to find out. “We’ll need a bed for what we want to do to you next.” He adds. Your cunt throbs again at his dirty words...

‘Oh fuck...’

Humming Spring Day, you made your way to BTS’ dorm. It was around three in the afternoon and they didn't have to be at the airport until eight in the evening, so you had five hours to help them get prepared and to hang around. They would be gone for five months and you wanted to get in as much time with them as you could. You knew that when they got back they would be back in the studio.

When you got to their apartment complex, you strolled through the entrance, and texted the group chat, letting them know you were there. Getting an ‘okay’ back, you waited on the lobby couch for one of the boys to come down and get you. You had told them it would be easier to just buzz you in, but they said they preferred having someone come down to make sure you get in safely. While waiting, you pulled up snapchat and watched people's stories, only putting it away five minutes later when you heard someone calling your name. Looking over at the elevator, you saw it was Namjoon who came.

You smiled and walked over to him, “Joon! You excited for tour?”

“Yeah, I'm excited to see all ARMY,” there was a big smile on his face, and it made you happy for them. They had worked so hard to get to where they are now, and you were very proud. They deserve everything they had accomplished and so much more.

Namjoon led the way to the elevator, pressing the 9th floor when the both of you were inside. There was a comfortable silence in the small elevator, that was only broken when the doors opened and a screaming Hoseok came running out of their apartment.

“Y/nnnn!!!!” his voice was loud and filled with excitement. The maknae line was close behind, joyous laughter leaving their lips. You loved how he was enthusiastic to see you, but you couldn’t breathe.

Getting pulled into a tight hug, your face squished between Hoseok’s chest and hand, you mumbled, “Hobi! I can't breathe!” He quickly let you go, throwing his arm on your shoulder instead. Allowing him to pull you along, you glanced around and noticed both Jin and Yoongi were nowhere in sight. It was weird to not see Yoongi there. He was usually the one to get you or the first one to greet you when you get on their floor.

Opening their door, Jungkook yelled out to the two remaining members, “Y/n is here!” A loud crash was heard as soon as the words left his mouth, leaving you all to be confused. It was dead silent for several seconds before Jin could be heard yelling.

“Yah! Min Yoongi! I just bought those plates!”

Just by his voice, you could tell Jin was annoyed. Moving towards their kitchen, you peeked your head around the door, taking in the scene. There stood Jin with his hands on his waist, an apron covered in flour around his waist, eyes furrowed. On the other side of the room was where Yoongi stood with shards of glass surrounding him. Judging by how his hands were shaking and a sweat broke out on his forehead, you could tell he was either scared or nervous. He didn’t really look that scared at being yelled at, so you assumed he was nervous. But for what reason? He was almost never nervous.

“Is everything alright in here?” you announced your presence, slowly walking into the room. Hearing your voice caused Yoongi’s eyes to widen and he took a step away from you. He must have not realized there was glass, for he stepped on it. Hissing, he tried to move away from the sharp pieces, but ended up stepping on more.

You gasped, rushing over to him, grabbing his arm to stop him from stepping on any more, “Gosh Yoongi, you have to be careful! Come on, I’ll get the pieces out of your foot and wrap it up.” Letting him lean on you, you brought him into the bathroom.

“You don’t have to,” his words were mumbled, and if you looked closer you could see a blush forming. Huffing, you ignored him and helped him sit down on the closed toilet seat.

Going through their cabinets, you pulled out tweezers, antibiotic cream, and gauze, “I do, what kind of friend would I be if I didn’t?” He felt his heart drop when he heard you say the word friend. Before he could think any more of it, you kept talking, “Besides, we can’t have you injured before the tour even starts.” Right, today was the day they were leaving. It was also the day he was telling you the feelings he had for you.

Starting to pull out the glass, the silent room was filled with nothing but his small sounds of pain. Once they were out, you put the antibiotic cream on and wrapped his foot in the gauze. Putting away the medical stuff, you then pulled him up and supported him. Walking back to the kitchen, you saw the broken plates had been cleaned up. All the boys were sitting at the table, eating what looked to be brownies and ice-cream. There were two seats left for you and Yoongi, and you helped him sit down in the one closest to Hoseok. The room was filled with talk of tour, what you would be doing while they were away, and what they would do when they got back. All throughout, Yoongi was quieter than usual, and it made you worried.

While everyone was talking, Yoongi was busy thinking over everything he was going to say. Should he be formal with you? Or should he just blurt them out? Or maybe he should write you a song! No, that would take too long, and if he didn’t tell you today then he never would. He had been hyping himself up for months now and he couldn’t wait any longer. After eating, each member went to double check that they had everything they would need.

“Namjoon-ah, don’t forget your passport this time!” you teased the man, waving it in your hand when you noticed him looking around for it.

His tense shoulders relaxed, overcome with relief to know he hadn’t lost it, “Oh thank god. I thought I had lost it already.” Shaking your head, you smiled at him.

“Y’know, if you put it in your carry on you wouldn’t lose it so much. Or, you know, give it to one of the other members to watch over,” you gave him the advice while handing it over. Namjoon nodded, liking the idea, going into Jin’s room to give it to him. Chuckling to yourself, you went to your best friend’s room to see if he needed any help.

Pausing in his doorway, you leaned against the frame and watched the way he packed. His tight shirt showed off his muscles, and you lick your lips at the sight. Yoongi was startled when he saw you out of the corner of his eye. Turning towards you, he stared at you, cocking his head to the side. Not even realizing he was facing you, you continued to daydream about how he looked underneath the shirt.

Yoongi cleared his throat after some time, “Can I help you Y/n?” It was like you hadn’t heard him, for you were still staring at him, now biting your lip. This only lasted for two more minutes, before you became aware he had said something.

Snapping out of your thoughts, you gazed at him with wide eyes, “What?” A gummy smile broke out on Yoongi’s face, and he shook his head. He turned back to his luggage and continued to pack. “No, what did you say Yoongi?” you questioned him.

“Nothing, don’t worry about it miss daydreamer,” there was a teasing tone behind his words.

You knelt down next to him and pouted, “Tell me Yoongs.” He snorted at the whine that left your mouth, looking at you. Glancing down at your lips, he couldn’t stop the thought of what they would feel like from running through his mind.

“I asked if I could help you with anything,” he gulped, quickly tearing his eyes away from your mouth. Who knows if he would be able to stop himself from kissing you.

You nudged him playfully, “Shouldn’t I be the one asking you that?’ Yoongi rolled his eyes, nudging you right back and muttering out a ‘whatever.’

Once his suitcases were all packed, you each wheeled one out to the living room. The rest of the BTS members were already there waiting by the door. Taking a look at your phone, you saw it was already six in the evening.

“We’re gonna go out to eat dinner and then head to the airport,” Jin informed everyone, starting to head out of their apartment. One by one, you all followed him out. Being the last one through the door, Jimin closed and made sure their door was locked.

All eight of you got into the elevator. It was a tight fit, and you find yourself pushed up against the wall with Yoongi in front of you. His chest was pressed against yours and you could feel his heart beating fast. He tried to avoid looking into your eyes, not wanting you to see the emotions swirling around. Having Jungkook move backwards to let someone into the cramped elevator caused Yoongi to press even closer to you. Looking up at him, you caught his attention. You realized that if you moved onto the ends of your toes, you would be able to connect your lips with his. Before you could allow yourself to go through with it, you heard the elevator beep, signaling you had reached the lobby. Clearing his throat, Yoongi backed away and you followed behind him. Walking beside him, you went out front and saw a car waiting for you guys. Yoongi rushed to get a seat in the way back of the vehicle. Getting in, you sat in between Hoseok and Taehyung, pulling out your camera to vlog for your YouTube channel.

“Hey guys! It’s Y/n and today I’m just going to be vlogging our shenanigans at the restaurant. It’s gonna be a short video, but I promise the next one will be longer!” you did your intro, panning it around the car, showing all the boys.

Jimin was napping with his head on Taehyung’s shoulder, while Taehyung was on his phone. Hoseok was smiling at the camera and waving, causing you to laugh. Jin was facing the back towards Namjoon and was quietly discussing their plans for when they got to their hotel in France. Turning the camera to face Jungkook, you filmed him quietly singing to the song playing on the radio. Lastly, you caught Yoongi anxiously chewing on his lip, wringing his hands in his lap. He gave you a timid smile when he noticed you were filming him. Giving him a reassuring smile, you turned back around and ended the clip.

--0--0--0--

Pulling in front of the restaurant, the eight of you got out and headed inside. Namjoon told the waiter the name the reservation was under. The waiter led all of you to your table, in a secluded corner where no one would be able to disturb you. The seating arrangements were as followed: On the right side, sat Hoseok, Taehyung, you, and Yoongi. On the left side, sat Jin, Namjoon, Jimin, and Jungkook.

“My name is Min-Jun and I’ll be your waiter for the evening. Can I get you anything to drink?” the young man asked, keeping his eyes on you. Which Yoongi noticed, and he didn’t like it. Not one bit.

Hoseok ordered first, “I’ll have a sprite!” You couldn’t help but to let out a small snort at his drink order. That man was obsessed with sprite and it always amused you when he got so excited over it.

“I’ll have a diet coke,” Namjoon said politely.

Jin was next, “I’ll take an iced tea, please.”

“I’ll have milk!” Jungkook exclaimed.

“Can I have a coke?” Jimin asked the waiter.

Taehyung waited until the waiter had finished writing before saying, “I’ll take a sprite.”

The waiter wrote down his order, before looking up at you with a flirtatious look on his face, “And what can I get for you beautiful?” His words caused your eyes to widen, and you fidgeted. Yoongi could tell you were feeling uncomfortable so he put his arm around your shoulder and pulled your chair closer to his.

“I’ll take a black coffee, and thanks for the compliment. She’ll have a coke with no ice.” The boys were shocked to see Yoongi act this way. He’s never done that before, and they were curious as to why he did it now. Clearing his throat, the waiter nodded and quickly left to get the drinks.

You leaned your head on Yoongi’s shoulder, mumbling your gratitude, “Thanks Yoons.” The other six boys watched, fascinated by how their calm member looked at you with heart eyes. They weren’t going to say anything, not wanting to ruin the moment you two were having. Well, all except Jungkook that is. He opened his mouth to tease his hyung.

“Hyung! Why are you looking at Y/n with he-” Jungkook cut his sentence short when he felt Taehyung kick his shin from across the table. Jin started telling jokes, trying to take your attention from the maknae. Laughing at Jin’s jokes and puns, you didn’t witness Yoongi glaring at the younger boy with heated eyes.

A different waiter came back with the drinks, introducing himself and informing you that he would be your waiter for the rest of your stay. Yoongi smirked, knowing he was the cause they got a new waiter. He didn’t care if he was rude, he wasn’t going to lose you before you were even his. After ordering your meals, the conversations continued on. When the food arrived, everyone ate quickly when they caught sight of the time. They only had an hour to get to the airport and through security.

--0--0--0--

The ride to the airport was filled with everyone laughing and joking around. All except one min Yoongi that is. He was usually calm, reserved, and poker faced, so he wasn't completely out of character. Though it seemed today would be different. Every once in awhile, you would glance over to see him fidgeting with his hands, nervously. He was either rubbing the back of his neck or chewing on his bottom lip. Whatever the motion, seeing his nervous tics caused you unease. Yoongi's peculiar behavior continued on for fifteen minutes before you'd had enough.

You leaned over to his ear, whispering so you wouldn't draw too much attention to your conversation, "Yoongs? Are you okay?" His breath faltered a little when you put your hand on his thigh. He knew your intention was simply to comfort him, but that didn't stop his heart from racing a little faster.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine," his voice cracked causing him to stutter. He cleared his throat before continuing, "I'm just nervous about getting ambushed at the airport I guess." You could tell by the way he avoided meeting your gaze that he was lying. Not wanting to make him feel uncomfortable, you nodded. He could tell that you had seen through his lie, causing him to feel guilty. You have been best friends for a while, and have always told the other everything. This big secret he was hiding had just been another weight on his shoulders. But he was planning on telling you everything today. Hopefully.

Tuning back into the other boys' conversation, you joined in with their antics. Jungkook was messing with Jimin and Taehyung, while Hoseok was jokingly complaining about all of

Jin's puns and Namjoon was just watching it all take place.

Jimin leaned over Taehyung and gave a squinted smile, "Yah Y/n don't miss us too much." You laughed at his teasing, but you knew you would miss him. He was the one you were closest to after Yoongi.

"Are you sure it won't be the other way around Jimin-ah?" you had a teasing smile, shaking your head slightly when he threw his head back and laughed. He knew it was true just like the rest of you did.

Seeing Yoongi let a small smile out warmed your heart, knowing whatever was bothering him wasn't too serious. Yoongi could feel his heart stop for a second when he realized you all had arrived at the airport. He was hoping for more time to calm his nerves. He thought of just not telling you, but he knew he had kept it in for too long. Hell, he's kept this a secret for the last two years. If he didn't confess now, then Yoongi knew he never would. What a perfect way to tell you, then when he was about to board a plane to go across the county? If you didn't take it well, then he had five months for you to forget he had even said anything. Then the two of you could live life as best friends, just like you are now. Nothing had to change if you didn't want it to. No matter how much he wanted you to be something more, he would never make you.

"Yoongi? You coming?" your voice was soft, bringing him out of his thoughts. Yoongi looked around noticing everyone else was already out of the car. Not wanting them to wait any longer for him, he nodded and got out.

The boys put on their face masks and hoods, heads down, ready to walk through the airport halls with screaming fans. Even though there were bodyguards surrounding the lot of you, Yoongi still didn't like how you were behind them. He wished you were walking right next to him, his hand connected with yours, grip tight to make sure you didn't fall behind. But you weren't dating so he could only dream, plus he didn't think the fans would appreciate. He couldn't help but take glances over his shoulder, making sure you were still safe.

Looking back one again, he noticed you were falling behind, and he couldn't have that. Forgetting all about their fans, he slowed down to let you catch up. Without looking at you, he grabbed your hand in his. Taking a look at you from the corner of his eye, he could see you were confused by his actions. “I didn't like how you were falling behind,” his words were mumbled. If it weren't for the way he leaned down to your ear, you wouldn't have heard him.

You squeezed his hand, showing him your thanks through your actions. By now, fans were screaming even louder, flashes going off fast to capture the moment. Yoongi knew there would be a lot of backlash from what he did, but as long as you weren't hurt he couldn't care less. He would go through a lot more trouble if it meant you're not harmed. Arriving at their private security check, they stopped to say their goodbyes to you.

“Now, be safe Y/n. Don’t talk to strangers and don’t forget to eat and sleep properly! Oh, and also don’t forget to upload!” Jin lectured you, lightly slapping your arm when you rolled your eyes at him.

You laughed, trying to block his attack, “Yeah yeah, I promise dad.” He let out a ‘yah!’ before laughing along with you. Suddenly, you were attacked with a back hug from someone.

“I’m gonna miss you Y/n-ie~” Hoseok’s voice was next to your ear, and his arms tightened when you tried to get away from him. You were finally able to turn around and return his hug, uttering out your ‘miss you’ as well.

Jungkook, Jimin, and Taehyung ripped you away from their hyung. They all wrapped their arms around you, creating a giant hug. As one, they all yelled, “Don’t forget to text us!” “We’re gonna miss you Y/n-ah!” and “Don’t miss us too much!” You shook with laughter, getting squished even more when you answered them.

Getting out of their embrace, you made your way to Namjoon, “Don’t forget your passport mister.” He chuckled and tugged you into a short hug, thanking you for reminding him. Taking a glance at his watch, his eyes became huge when he noticed the time.

“C’mon guys, we only have 20 minutes before our plane leaves,” Namjoon said, getting into his role as leader right away. They all yelled goodbye to you, before walking over to the security checkpoint. Someone cleared their throat behind you, and you spun around to see Yoongi standing there. He looked even more anxious than earlier, and he slowly walked closer to you.

You brought him into a tight hug, placing your head on his chest, “I’m gonna miss you Yoongs.” Yoongi wrapped his arms around you, resting his chin on the top of your head. Before he could speak, Jimin yelled for him to hurry up. Yoongi let you go, grabbing onto his suitcases with both hands.

Swallowing his nerves, he stared at you with a soft expression, “Look, I don't have much time, but I need to tell you something.”

“You know you can tell me anything, right? You don’t have to be nervous,” you made sure your voice was gentle.

He nodded, letting out a shaky sigh, before he spilled everything, “I needed to tell you that I’m in love with you.” You stood there, completely shocked, not knowing what to say. Seeing you just stand there, caused his eyes to water and his face to heat up. You didn’t have any time to reply back, for he quickly stated, “Look, I know you don’t feel the same, but I’ve been holding it in for two years now. I had to tell you and I figured this would be the best time. I’ll be gone for five months, so by the time I get back we can continue on as best friends.” Once again, before you could open your mouth, he was rushing off towards the rest of his group. You stood there for ten minutes watching as their plane took off, and then rushed out of the airport to get back to your apartment as quick as you could.

--0--0--0--

It had been a day since Yoongi had told you he was in love with you. When you had gotten home the other day, you had hurried and packed a suitcase. Once that was done, you went to bed, deciding to text their manager when they landed. You had to tell Yoongi you were in love with him as well, but needed to make sure you were allowed to visit first.

Waking up, you waited a few more hours before texting Sejin, explaining everything to him. Getting the okay from him, you grabbed your luggage and made your way to the airport, buying a ticket when you arrived. Deciding to vlog, you pulled out your camera and hit record.

“Hey guys! It’s Y/n here and for today’s vlog, we are going to France! Well, more specifically, we’re heading to the boys’ hotel because mister Yoongles forgot his headphones and we all know he can’t live without them,” you explained to the camera, showing the headphones that Yoongi coincidentally left behind. The PA system came on, announcing your flight was now boarding. You looked back to the camera, “Well, looks like that’s me! I’ll update you guys when I get on the plane!” Turning off the camera, you put it in your carry on and made your way to the boarding area. Handing the lady your ticket, she scanned it, and then you got onto the plane. Once you were all situated in your seat, you turned your airplane mode on and then turned on your camera.

Fixing your hair, you told the camera your plans, “So, I just got on. The flight is gonna be about twelve hours. Most of that time I’m going to be sleeping because ya girl loves her sleep.” After clarifying everything, you turned the camera back off. Like you said, you fell asleep as soon as you closed your eyes.

The plane ride flew by fast, due to your unconscious state, and before you knew it, you were landing. Getting off the plane, you took your phone off airplane mode. It buzzed multiple times before becoming silent. Letting the messages load, you could see all of the boys had messaged you or called you.

Your cell phone started vibrating, indicating you had a call coming through. Looking at the caller ID, you saw it was Jin that was calling you. Picking up the phone, you were automatically ambushed with his loud voice. "Yah, Y/n! Why weren't you answering Yoongi? He's freaking out thinking you hate him!" "Sorry sorry! I was on a plane and couldn't use my phone,” you tried to calm him down. He was confused, and questioned you, "Wait...Why were you on a plane?" You’re silent for a minute, then declared, "...Oh my god you're such an idiot Jin I swear. I'm not going to tell Yoongi I love him over text." "Wait, so you got on a plane to come all the way to France, just to tell him you love him?" Jin asked you, his tone filled with amusement. You nodded, before you realized he couldn’t see you, "Uhh yeah? I mean he's the one who dropped the bomb on me right before he got on a plane." "Wah that is so cute. So is it a surprise?" Jin said, making you smile. You knew it would be best to tell him in person and not over the phone. "Yup! I’m actually at the airport right now." You enthusiastically said. Jin told you, "Alright I'll keep quiet about it then. I'll send you the hotels location." "Thanks Jin, I'll be there as soon as I can!" You stated, before ending the call. A minute later your phone vibrated with a message from him. Opening it, you saw the hotel’s location. You hailed a taxi and told the driver the address, and you were on your way.

--0--0--0--

When you made it to the hotel, you paid the taxi driver, grabbing your suitcase from the car. Closing the car door, you turned to face the hotel in amazement. It was absolutely beautiful, and you were happy Jin had offered to buy you a hotel room. Walking inside, you went to the front desk and got your room key. Getting in the elevator, you hit the fifth floor. Luckily, he was able to get a room right next to Yoongi’s. Strolling down the hallway, you stopped in front of your room, and slide the card to open the door. Once it beeped, you pushed open the door and stalked inside. You were captivated by it as you looked around. There was a king sized bed, and a huge window that showed a perfect view of the Eiffel Tower. Plugging your phone into the charger, you became aware of the time. The boys would be in sound check right about now, and you had an hour before you had to leave.

The hour passed by quickly, and before you knew it, you were on your way to the venue. Your nerves were acting up, and you could feel your hands start to sweat. You had no reason to be scared. You knew he felt the same way as you. Hell, he was the one to admit it first! When you get to the venue, you could hear the screaming fans from outside. Going to the back, you saw a bodyguard waiting there for you. Showing him your ID, he allowed you in, and showed you the way to the boys’ dressing room. Throughout the whole concert, you watched them perform their hearts out. The concert ended, and you were starting to feel anxious once again. Loud, cheerful voices could be heard coming down the hallway towards the room you were in. Taking a deep breath in, you stood up and faced the door, just as it opened. The boys all trudged inside, and you watched as Yoongi was the last one in. He was looking down at his, frowning with his shoulders slumped. He only looked up when you said his name.

“Yoongi…” your voice was quiet, and you watched as his mouth dropped open. He was astonished to see you standing in person in front of him. Last he checked, you were ignoring him.

He slowly stalked towards you, his voice low and puzzled, “What are you doing here?” He stopped in front of you, and you walked closer so you were almost touching.

“You didn’t think I would tell you I’m in love with you over the phone, did you?” you quietly asked him, giggling when he just continued to stare at you. Yoongi put his hands on your waist and tugged you into him.

He leaned in and smashed his lips onto yours passionately. He let his emotions flow through the kiss, smiling when he felt you kiss back. The two of you stood there, just kissing each other innocently. You knew you should stop for there were people all around you, but his lips were too addicting. You figured it was safe to say he thought the same, seeing as he only pulled you closer and deepened the kiss. Needing oxygen to breathe, you pulled away, slowly opening your eyes. Gazing at you with love, Yoongi softly kissed your lips one last time before releasing you from his embrace. Instead, he intertwined his fingers with yours, not wanting to let go of you completely.

You were reminded of the others when Jin cleared his throat. He gave you guys a teasing smile, “Now that you two are done, how about we head back to the hotel?” Everyone nodded, congratulating you and Yoongi on their way out of the room. Jin stopped to say, “Oh, by the way, Yoongi we had someone move your stuff into Y/n’s room. You can thank you me anytime.”

“Thanks hyung,” Yoongi muttered, rolling eyes. He gave you a gummy smile when you nudged him. He pulled you into a soft, slow kiss, and mumbled against your lips, “Let’s go back to the hotel jagiya, I’m tired and I wanna hold you in my arms.”

thoughts on the cw the lost boys recastings?

Not really? LOL I mean I had to google lost boys recasting because I’ve gotten a couple asks about it this week but this was the first one that mentioned recasting, and I had had no idea why all of a sudden ppl were asking about it again, so...*shrugs*

So I guess the CW didn’t like the pilot that was shot and they released all the cast from their contracts except for two of the lesser known names. I mean sure, I’m kinda bummed that we won’t get Posey playing a vampire in a campy CW show that’ll likely be at least as terrible as TW if not worse, lolol, but that’s literally about as high as my expectations ever went? I’m sure he’ll land something else soon enough.

I know people are always looking to make a big deal about this sort of thing, and so anyone’s free to believe me or not or assume I’m biased because of what a huge Posey stan I obviously am, but tbh....its really not that big a deal. This sort of thing happens all the time, its just nobody outside the industry really pays attention except when its involving a specific project or show they’re interested in, or an actor, so it seems less common from that perspective than it actually is, but like...honestly, this kinda thing happens at least once a pilot season, if not more.

Like literally all that happened, far as I can tell, is the CW passed on the pilot. That’s it. That happens allllllll the time, with something like 70% of the pilots shot every pilot season never seeing the light of day. That’s actually a conservative estimate.

The only thing that’s different from the rest of that 70% here, that puts this in the ‘usually only happens once or twice a pilot season,’ is that the CW didn’t scrap the whole project, and are looking to recast. Usually when that happens, its for one of two reasons: its a passion project for someone hide up on the food chain like one of the executive bigwigs, or else their option on the IP is about to expire and they either are afraid they won’t be able to re-up on it because someone else is looking to horn in, or they don’t want to waste their investment in the project so far but still don’t want to commit for yet another year with nothing to show for it either.

We’re talking about Lost Boys here, so my guess is it could be either, or even more likely, a combination of both. It’s a cult classic with a sizable following and big footprint in the vampire genre. I’m sure there are always people looking to snatch the option for it up the second it becomes available again. The CW’s had this project in development hell for a number of years from what I can see, ever since Rob Thomas first wanted to do something with it for them, and that means the option’s been tied up for years and this is the first time they’ve even gone all the way to pilot with it.

So if they still can’t make it to air with a new pilot and pass on that too, they’ll have to go back to whoever holds the IP rights for the movie and try and re-up again for another year (idk who that is, could be Schumacher, could be the studio that produced the movie, it depends). And if they’ve already had the option tied up for this many years, I guarantee the second word got out that the CW had passed on their pilot, people started making calls and making sure the source option holder knew they were interested, should the option become available again. Which means the holder of the original IP rights now has additional leverage to make the CW pay a higher price to re-up, or else they’ll take their option elsewhere, to the many others who are interested.

And trust me, the CW doesn’t want that. Because then they’ll have to decide if they want to let it go, despite all the money sunk into it over the years already.....or if they want to hang on to it, pay even more than usual to re-up, in addition to the money they dropped this year on one, possibly even two pilots. I’m sure at least some of the people in the decision-making chain at the CW are fans of the original movie, given the nature of most of the shows the CW greenlights, so its pretty much a given that some of them really WANT to see something come out of this option, but sooner or later every studio has to cut their losses and walk away, and I suspect from not just them going back to the drawing board, but going back this late in the year, that there’s a degree of urgency to this that you don’t see most years, meaning they’re probably on the brink of having to make that call. If they pass on this second pilot, whenever they reshoot, I wouldn’t be surprised if they then go ahead and let their option expire next year.

As for everyone but two actors being recast.......okay, so look, this is part of where the whole ‘there are reasons I don’t really ‘stan’ for actors the way most people on social media do’ thing I’m always going on about, lol. Yeah a large part of that has to do with having worked with so many actors the shine has worn off and I’m very aware they’re just people no different from anyone you work with, and you’d find it very odd to stan for a random coworker of yours, I’d imagine. But another part of it is just.....my perspective on the industry and actors is from a very different angle from most peoples’, so a lot of the times I’m just kinda....bwuh, at the things people make a big deal out of, if that makes sense?

Like I mean, as I said, this is literally the first I heard about the show being recast, I haven’t been keeping up with any news or gossip about it at all, but I know, I just KNOW that there are people reading a lot into this, either in support of Posey or looking to make digs at him for....what to my POV....very likely has absolutely fuck all to do with the cast at all?

LMAO. Like I just mean, in my perspective, it wouldn’t even occur to me to assume the actors all gave shitty performances or were a let down and that’s why they’re all being recast, at least, were it not for years on social media making me aware that is a common assumption.

Like...nope, that’s really not a thing that happens, like, it literally just doesn’t. Again, people can believe me or not, but I promise, I PROMISE, there has been no pilot in the history of ever, where almost the entire cast was recast because every single one of them phoned in a shitty performance. Nope. Look, no matter HOW long you’ve worked in the industry, pilots are NOT easy to come by. Pilot season is hands down THE most competitive time of the year for any actor, on pretty much any level. Unless we’re talking actors who don’t even have to be cast because their involvement is the only reason a project is happening, that sorta thing.....NO ACTOR EVER TAKES A PILOT CASTING FOR GRANTED. Like, if an actor honestly just didn’t even care all that much whether a pilot gets picked up? Then why the fuck would they even bother going on auditions for that pilot, or why not just sit out that pilot season? It’s a bunch of hassle they don’t need as well as possibly getting locked into a longterm contract for a project they don’t really care about....lol just no, that’s not a thing. Actors don’t do pilots unless they WANT that pilot to be picked up, and for them to have a contracted role. Full stop.

So when you keep that in mind....honestly, what are the chances that in a full cast of professional actors, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM couldn’t manage to give a compelling performance, while bringing their A-game, except for the two cast members with the least on their resumes?

The chances are zip, because on the occasions an entire cast or almost an entire cast gets replaced for a reshoot, it has absolutely zero to do with any of the performances, and everything to do with the direction taken with the premise, like, the basic pitch they chose to go with for the characters.

Because again....its about Hollywood’s favorite magic word: leverage.

Nah, if one actor gets replaced after a pilot, before reshoots or even just between shooting the pilot and the show starting shooting on the rest of the season? Then it might be about the performance there, the studio just didn’t like that actor in the role and wanted to recast. Or it might be about the actor having had competing commitments that meant they turned out not to be available longterm after all, or there was a ceiling to how long they’d actually be available, or maybe they had enough other commitments that technically made them available but were still a hassle for the studio to work around and they just didn’t want to bother.

OR, in some cases....an actor gets recast before the show goes to air, because the studio couldn’t negotiate an agreement with the actor for their contract, that satisfied both parties.

Because that’s the angle most people forget to consider in this specific type of situation: actors sign on for a pilot, when they get cast. Their contracts have nothing to do with a full season at that point, because there’s nothing to even negotiate there, until a pilot is actually greenlit. Because until that point, nobody even knows for sure if they’re going to get a full season pick up, a half a season pick up, if the studio is just going to order eight episodes at first and then see how the ratings are before picking up five more episodes on the back end, etc.

So AFTER a pilot gets greenlit, the casts’ representation goes back to the table with the studio and hammer out their longterm contracts for the actual season.

And when a cast has to shoot not one pilot but two, before they even reach the negotiation stage for a full season pickup....they come to the table with a HELL of a lot of leverage. Because they know exactly how badly the studio needs THIS particular show to work out at this point, after that much of an investment. They know that the studio used up pretty much any buffer time they had, in order to get a whole second pilot shot, and they literally can’t AFFORD to have too many of their main cast walk at this point, if they don’t agree to their terms.

So when a studio recasts almost an entire cast before going back to reshoots, its because they’re trying to hedge their bets as much as possible and nip that negotiating power in the bud with a full recast with brand new actors who are brought in with the understanding that ‘we know we don’t have a lot of time to get this done and don’t want to waste our investment on this flopping, and YOU know that and we KNOW you know that, but if you want this part at all, you’re not going to make that a thing when it comes to full season contracts, do we have an agreement there.’

And you can’t make that kind of agreement halfway through things with a cast you’ve already made any kind of commitment to, not and expect them to be on board without any kind of concessions made.

So yeah, that’s why my guess is who knows what kind of performances the cast gave, it very likely had nothing to do with the recastings. Best bet is the studio just wasn’t happy with how the pitch they went with for this initial pilot looked when realized on screen, or maybe they were torn between two pitches initially anyway and now they feel the other might be a better bet.....and they couldn’t afford to stick with a cast that already had this much negotiating power this late in the game, so they released everyone from their contracts except for two of the ones who had relatively little negotiating power to begin with, and weren’t likely to give the studio too much of a problem over full season contracts.

Besides, if the new pilot does make it to air, by the time the new cast negotiates their full season contracts, the studio can sit down with these two and say its not that big a deal to recast one or two more at this point, all things considered, so.....again, do you want this role or not.

Ahhh, good old Hollywood. Where the bullshit in question is never exactly the bullshit most people assume it is, but make no mistake - its bullshit all the same. LOLOL.

Ugh, if only I weren’t a masochist who didn’t love being a THEEEEEEEESPIAN so much. Ah well.

But seriously guys, the thing you have to remember always, is there are never any guarantees, ever, at any stage, so its always a mistake to assume that a late stage decision or change has anything to do with quality, when there are a million other bullshit factors studios tend to consider before they even get around to giving a shit about what they think of the quality.

Like, an example....six or seven years ago, I don’t remember exactly...maybe it was eight, even? The year Jay Leno’s scandals were all over the news and NBC pulled his contract and all the late night talk shows moved around and swapped hosts.

Anyway, doing that meant that all of a sudden, NBC had an entire slate of open slots they needed to fill in the ten o’clock hour of their season lineups. Monday through Friday, when they usually would have a brand new hour of Leno programming for viewers from 10-11, all of a sudden, they had NOTHING. It was pretty damn unprecedented and nobody knew for sure how things were going to play out....just that it was November, and NBC was scrambling to pick and staff and cast as many pilots as they could in as short a time frame as they could, to cover the gap.

In the end, they had about half a dozen to maybe ten pilots at most, all filming at breakneck speed throughout December, right before the holidays, with the studio hoping to make a decision on them over hiatus and start shooting again over sweeps for a late midseason premiere to them.

So us poor dumb bastards who got cast and shoved through contracts, fittings, filming and all that good stuff in one of the most whirlwind and exhausting start-to-finish shoots any of us had ever experienced in the industry, were like, okay we KNOW better than to assume anything’s a sure thing, but like....this is PRETTY CLOSE to a sure thing, right? RIGHT?

Ugh, what dumbasses.

LOL and me I was one of the worst, because I wasn’t SAYING it out loud where anyone could hear it, but like, I was SURE this was going to be my big break. Because see, I wasn’t cast just on any old last minute pilot. No, I landed a bit-part-with-possibilities-of-recurring on a pilot starring David Tennant, like, fresh off his role on Doctor Who and very much in demand. It had a fair number of other names going for it...Jane Curtin, Cleo King who’d just gotten a big boost in popularity from The Hangover releasing over the summer, Abigail Spencer from Timeless although back then she was mostly just known for her work on Mad Men, etc. Like, this production was so rushed it never even got to the point of having an actual title, it was called something like “Rex Is Not Your Lawyer" on all our official contracts and stuff lol. We shot it over two weeks in December and wrapped filming the day before Christmas. And then we waited to hear about a decision, pretty fucking confident we were about to get a midseason pickup, because like....literally what else did the studio even HAVE?

Well. Nothing. We were right on that front, at least. They had nothing else to put on air besides the pilots they’d hastily pulled together and shot.....but in the end, after ALL of that, and after all that expense, and drama, and rushing and whatnot....the higher ups decided eh...you know what? We’re not really feeling any of these, hey, let’s just air re-runs of the Leno show in his old ten o’clock spot, that’ll be good enough.

....*headdesk*

LOL and the best thing was they didn’t even bother to tell ANY of the casts their decision until like, a month after making it. I mean we’d pretty much figured out from watching the clock that for whatever reason, it just wasn’t going to happen, but despite being a nobody, I was weirdly one of the very first in the cast to know for sure we weren’t getting picked up, because one of my friends who works in costume design was working on a different show on the lot where we’d shot Rex, and called me at like 6 am one day to say ‘oh shit, they’re packing up your sets, wtf,’ and that was basically as good as confirmation, lmao, ugh.

Though tbh, for me personally, that one doesn’t sting nearly as much as Washington Field, which was....I wanna say one or two pilot seasons before that? It was my first year in town, going out on auditions for pilot season as a fully paid up and registered SAG actor, the CSI franchise was winding down and CBS was looking to replace it with a brand new franchise, and Washington Field was the procedural they were hoping to use as a launching point for that new franchise. Some FBI procedural, like lbr, I would have never ever watched it myself and probably hated every script with a passion lol. I remember first time I got the full script for the pilot, like, it was pretty much right before we were all set to fly out to where we were shooting on location, so a bunch of my acting friends were over for a last minute party kinda thing, THOROUGHLY enjoying a drinking game they’d made out of the script, called something like “Get a shot every time Kalen’s character is a MASSIVE TOOL of the Establishment!” LOL like lbr, it wouldn’t have been my favorite role to break into the biz with haha. But the cast was pretty cool and we had a blast - GINA TORRES, ugh, still so bummed there, Teri Polo, Cole Hauser which is ironic given this is an ask about Lost Boys, lol, oh and Eddie Cibrian but he was super cranky the whole time b/c like his affair with LeeAnn Rimes had just become public knowledge lolol whooooops - anyway.

I was pretty sure that was a sure thing too, because CBS was pushing the hellllll out of that pilot, talking up all these big plans they had for it, it was something like a $5 million pilot, we had helicopters, shut down a whole freeway for filming one day, the works. Big big production. I didn’t even have representation at the time, I was booking my own auditions and literally only got called in for that one because the casting director had remembered me from some indie I did, weirdly enough, and looked me up on a whim. But like, yeah, I only found out we’d been passed over on that one when I ran into one of the other cast on the street like the week before pick-ups and she was like “oh honey no, didn’t you hear? They passed on our pilot, we’re all released from contract.” ....lol, that was not a super fun way to find out.

Oh well, ANYWAY, point is, nobody ever knows anything even when they think they know and also studios are stupid and dumb and make stupid dumb decisions all the time so never ever assume a studio’s decision has anything to do with anything other than being stupid and dumb and also, I am DEFINITELY not biased, okay, maybe I am a little bit but my bias has actually absolutely zero to do with Posey and everything to do with being Jilted one too many times by studios who are both stupid and dumb, and thus clearly not to be trusted. Harrumph.

....I think there’s an answer to your question in there. Somewhere. Idk, I think I got lost too.

MCU’s Captain Marvel - Thoughts, review & more

I’m off to see DC’s latest superhero reincarnation Shazam later today, but I wanted to make sure I captured my thoughts on the MCU’s last superhero outing, Captain Marvel, so I don’t get my feedback crossed.

I know I’ve said in the past that I’ve been a bit burned out when it comes to comic book movie (CBM) adaptations, but there are a few here and there that still catch my eye, and essentially I’ve boiled it down to: “Does this genuinely pique my interest?”

Now, I wasn’t too interested in Captain Marvel based on the trailers and didn’t plan to see it, but I struck a deal with my Mom. (Backstory: She and my stepfather go to see all the superhero movies because, hello!, they’re the nerds that nurtured this Big Nerd. Seriously, I started reading comic books because of them, and my geekery just grew and grew. I rely on them often to fact check the fandom details most comic book nerds on Tumblr claim to be authorities on. And yes, their 40+ years of comic book knowledge and expertise puts most of you to shame.)

With that said, she wasn’t very interested in Shazam. She said it looks like they’re aiming for a kids-only audience, and that made it kind of m’eh to her. But I said I would go see it because I’m a Zachary Levi fan. Billy Batson’s OK, but for me, it’s the casting of Zach that piqued my interest. So the deal was that she would see Captain Marvel and tell me if she thought I’d like it. And I’d see Shazam and do the same for her. Based on her commentary, I went to see CM, and now I’m returning the favor.

That was the intro.

Now, here’s the set-up.

If you’ve read anything related to the CBM-world here on my Tumblr, you know that I am a supporter of the DCEU, X-Men and the MCU, but I go hardest for the DC universe. You’ll also know if you stop by often that my point-of-view rarely matches up with the popular perspective within the fandom world, in general, or in the fandom communities, specifically.

But unlike some (dare I say, many), I never want to harsh anyone’s squee! If you loved something that I didn’t. Bless you. Live in that love, and pay me no mind. I have no desire to rain on anyone’s parade simply because I don’t land on the same conclusion regarding comic book characters or their feature film adaptations. I don’t think less of you, hate you, or even care if you don’t agree with me. If you do, that’s cool. If not, that’s cool too.

But before I jump into my mini-review of Captain Marvel, allow me to prepare you for how I roll. Here are some examples of where I landed after watching many, but not all, of the films from the MCU, DCEU, X-Men, Deadpool, and Spiderman franchises. I repeat, I rarely share the popular perspective or take on a CBM as the masses. You have been warned.

I enjoyed Ant Man and the sequel. If they made a third film, I’d see it.

Logan is a brilliant masterpiece, and I would change absolutely nothing about it.

Although I’ve never been a big fan of origin stories because they’re typically written like the audience is simple and can’t appreciate anything beyond the most cookie-cutter of plots and a paint-by-numbers of good and evil characters, I enjoyed Sam Raimi’s first film of the Spiderman franchise the most when it comes to comic book adaptation origin stories. So far, he’s still the person to beat in this category.

I enjoy most of the X-Men films, but often find the changes they make to the characters unnecessary and poorly executed. I also want Bryan Singer to leave the Summers boys alone.

I found the Wonder Woman film completely underwhelming. Why? See my #3 regarding origin stories.

I enjoyed Black Panther, but was not really wowed by it.

I enjoyed both Deadpool films, but I still think his character is highly overrated by male fans. I like the movies for what they are. They don’t really say anything. You’re just meant to “Ooh!” and “Aah!” and LOL! Then go home. I can respect that.

I thought Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was brilliant, and easily one of the best comic book-based films of the last 20 years. That film is a work of art, and I’m saddened that Zach Snyder’s vision wasn’t appreciated and respected by the studio. Even if the mainstream public thinks that comic book movies should be light and fluffy with virtually no connection to any messages of substance or strong characterization, the studio should have respected his vision and let him complete it with Justice League.

I liked The Avengers and I thought Age of Ultron was pretty decent, but I felt that Civil War was a mess of poor characterization, weak execution, absurd conclusions, unresolved tension, and a dispensable villain unworthy of the audience’s time. Literally everything the mainstream public and MCU fanboys (and fangirls) complained about Batman v Superman applies to Civil War, not to BvS. Civil War was the film that was rushed, and it shows.

I have virtually no interest at all in the main storyline of the MCU anymore. I don’t care about Thanos. I didn’t see Infinity War, and I don’t really plan to see Endgame. Yes, I’m aware of certain events happening regarding specific characters. Still don’t care. The run-up to this final showdown with Thanos was so poorly done and underwhelming that I have no emotional investment in this fight anymore.

Now, if you’re still reading, I want to say thank you for sticking around and ... welcome to my brain. Since this post is already long, let’s dive into Captain Marvel.

I saw the film twice. So that right there should tell you I enjoyed it. Yet, the weekend it came out, apparently, a bunch of fanboys and a handful of critics took to their keyboards and YouTube channels to review it and cry disappointment. Ultimately, I didn’t care too much because, again, it didn’t really pique my interest.

Then my Mom told me what she thought about the film and how it was the antithesis of what the fanboys and reviewers were claiming, and this ... is what actually piqued my interest. I love a good mystery, and I felt as if I needed to see the film for myself to not only see what the hubbub was about, but to also determine who was wrong/right.

So I saw it the following Tuesday after its opening weekend. And I walked out feeling as if the MCU had finally grown up.

What I liked

The 1990s nostalgia without the 1990s “nostalgia.” That is, the language, the clothes, the tech, the venues, etc. were all great throwbacks to this oddly romanticized decade without any of the romanticizing. As someone who was a teen throughout the ‘90s, and remembers it somewhat differently than others, I appreciate that. Respect.

Maria Rambeau. She is a best friend who gets to shine and enjoy the spotlight in her own way. She also has dark skin and short hair. (Yes, it matters.) But more importantly, Maria Rambeau isn’t a sidekick. Instead, she is the best friend everyone dreams of. Not only is she smart, fearless, and a badass behind the controls of a space-worthy fighter jet, but she’s also not judgmental. I don’t know many people who wouldn’t have some residual anger over being made to believe their ace boon was dead for 6 years, then one day just knocks on your door and say “What’s up? I’m not sure who I am.”

The villain-turned-not-so-bad-after-all Talos, played to perfection by Ben Mendelssohn, has the best one-liners and reaction shots in the film. Also, we get aliens with a variety of accents, character depth, and families.

Despite the fact that the passengers on the light rail/subway car saw the “old lady” could handle herself in a fight, the surrounding passengers did get involved to try and pull Danvers off of the old lady because, from a common sense perspective, this young woman should not have been trying to beat the hell out of an old woman. Kudos to them for trying to do the right thing.

I’m scared of Ms. Monica and her guilting her Mom to fly with Danvers, Fury and Talos on a life-endangering mission. When she said, “Just think about what kind of example you are setting for your daughter if you don’t go?” I was like, “No, she did not!”

The perfect subversion of the “prove to me you can beat me without weapons” gag at the end. Not only because it means that Yon-Rogg (Jude Law’s character) might show up in later films, but because that trope is sooooooo annoying. Plus, we all know she’s stronger, so why bother?

There’s some subtle commentary about the treatment of refugees as terrorists or enemies of the people by the same people who made them refugees in the first place. I would like to think that commentary is intentional, but that may be asking for too much.

What I didn’t care for

The CGI on Phil Coulson’s face. Um, yeah. That was not good. It would seem they spent more time on getting Samuel L. Jackson’s face just right so he could look believably younger, but then they ran out of time to do the same for Clark Gregg.

The CGI they used on Annette Bening’s face is ... not great in some scenes. Not all. Just some.

Why does Danvers sitting down with Fury in the bar for a Q&A about their past provide proof that they’re not Skrull? If the Skrull can’t adsorb distant memories, then this Q&A would only fill you with confidence to trust the other person if you actually know the other person. Danvers didn’t know Fury before that day, and he didn’t know her. Sitting there and answering questions only lays the groundwork to determine if they’re not Skrull later, but it shouldn’t provide proof that they can trust that the other isn’t a Skrull at that very moment. Also, how does Fury know that the Skrull can’t shoot blasts from their hands? He’s just going to take her word for it? Although given he was told by his “boss” to stay close to her and find out what she knows, I could see this as him simply playing along for the sake of his mission.

I’m not really buying this imaginary world where a black woman in the military is taking the time to keep her hair straightened while flying jets and working on special aircraft missions. However, I will suspend disbelief this time due to the fact that Rambeau was working on a top secret project and therefore was not necessarily hindered by the typical schedule of the average fighter pilot. ... This time.

I wished we could have seen more of Gemma Chan. Yeah, Minn-Erva’s a bad guy, but ... it’s Gemma Chan. I already had fanfiction theories playing in my head about her relationship with Yon-Rogg before I left the theater.

What I loved

We go on a journey with this character. We learn about her as she learns about herself, which is what keeps us invested beyond the “she’s going to be Captain Marvel by the end of the movie, obvs.” idea. This is an origin story done in a far more interesting and captivating way than anything presented in the Marvel cinematic universe since Iron Man. We get flashbacks to the most unassuming events of her life that later turn out to be the most important ones. Where others complained about this approach to an origin story, I wholeheartedly applaud it. Nothing in CA: The First Avenger, Thor or Ant Man was as clever or interesting as this angle when it comes to introducing a superhero’s origin.

I don’t want a flurkin. But at the same time, I want a flurkin.

Having a villain who turns out not to be a villain, and a mentor who turns out to be our actual villain, was to me another sign that the MCU has finally realized that complexity isn’t a bad thing and not every story must have a one-note single-purpose villain. Yes, we get a little bit of that in Ronan (Lee Pace’s character), but to lead the audience down this road where not all the information you receive can be immediately trusted suits me just fine. It’s realistic and engaging. Danvers’ confusion mimics our confusion, but not so much that we can’t enjoy the story. We don’t have it all figured out and determined who has the moral high-ground until she does. I love that. And as a writer myself, I respect that.

I love, love, loved the 1990s songs in this movie. Not only because the songs reminded me of my adolescence and you can never go wrong with Garbage’s “Only Happy When It Rains,” but because No Doubt’s “I’m Just A Girl” is THE perfect song for the big showdown between Danvers and her former Kree brethren. I almost jumped out of my seat in excitement when I heard that music intro. Kudos to whomever made this soundtrack!

There is no love story. Unless you count the love between 2 best friends/family being reunited, there’s no love story. Thank you.

When I first started watching the film, I had to scratch my head. I thought, “Since when are the Kree good guys?” After watching every season of Agents of Shield and knowing how it’s the Kree who leave mankind dangling on by a thread, manipulating them, torturing them, and turning them into their own little ant farm, my brain had to pause and question this version of the Marvel universe where Danvers is a Kree. But as the story continues, of course, we’re led on this journey where we learn 1) I was right not to trust the Kree as good guys, 2) there are some Kree who are good and Dr. Mar-vell is one of them, and 3) the MCU is capable of writing stories where character development isn’t sacrificed just for laughs and boss fights. See what I mean about growing up?

I think that’s it for now. This review is already long enough, and I’m sure I could discuss more details about the film if I had more time. Yes, I am aware of the mainstream critic and fandom backlash against the film. I’ve heard some of the complaints, and frankly, I struggle to find the justification for them anywhere in the film.

I read one critic complained saying that because the audience doesn’t know who Danvers is from the beginning, she’s hard to root for or identify with. I disagree. The audience learns as Danvers learns. And by the end of the film, it’s clear that what matters most about her is not her name or where she’s from, but what she does with her power. Personally, that’s a great message to everyone when you think about it.

I’m also aware that a lot of the fandom backlash has been ... how do you say ... male-driven. I think that’s unfortunate given that Captain Marvel is the MCU’s first female-led superhero movie and it’s long overdue. I don’t know if CM is flawless (I doubt it), but I know I enjoyed it as much as (and in a lot cases, more than) the other superhero origin MCU films. The message was great and the character relatable.

No, I’m not saying everyone can relate to a human-turned-all-powerful-superhero by a blast that should have killed her, but we can all relate to understanding that it doesn’t matter how many times we are knocked down, what matters is how many times we stand back up.

I’m not usually one for the hokey, after-school special messaging that a lot of MCU films (and DCtv shows) push, but that message about what makes her a hero (the standing up after getting knocked down) seems just as powerful as the message behind what makes Steve Rogers a hero (it’s not the special serum, but the fact he was willing to die for his countrymen in battle). I’m not sure how Danvers’ story is less worthwhile than Rogers’ story.

As for fanboys saying the studio should have just made a film about Natasha/Black Widow, it’s statements like that that make others wonder if your dissatisfaction with Captain Marvel isn’t rooted in misogyny. You would rather watch an origin film about a female team member on an already predominantly-male team where she plays a role, but is in no way as strong or as powerful enough to go toe-to-toe with most of the team members. Hmmm?

Hear how that sounds? There’s nothing wrong with liking Natasha. She’s the bomb. But again, making a film about Black Widow instead of Danvers, leaves the Avengers with one less female character, and one less character who can kick ass and take names with the big boys. The fanboys -- whether intentional or not -- have painted themselves as afraid of Captain Marvel’s strength and the power she has to be actually considered an equal to the other members of the team.

Perhaps if they said the MCU should’ve made a standalone or origin film about the Scarlet Witch, the misogyny wouldn’t be as glaring.

I don’t know. I’ll leave that argument for others for now. I’m heading out to movies now. Shazam here I come!

[Update] Real Life Stuff + Update of the Blog

This is just a post to kind of explain a few stressful things that have happened recently and where I’ll probably be going from here. If people want to skip this, they can go right ahead. To those who read and want to help out or have, I thank you.

This is queued, by the way, so please don’t shoot me a message expecting I’ll respond swiftly. Knowing me, I am probably still in bed when this goes up.. lol.

As some have known in the past three or so years of me running this blog, they have been aware that my living situation isn’t the best ever. It’s been toxic since day 1, and I live with a bunch of people that are supposed to be family but have mentally and physically mistreated me so much I’ve forced myself (especially as of late) to call them my landlords and or by their real names. I rent out my living space (the room is big enough to be a studio room) so in a sense, they are basically just that, but I dunno—I guess when you put ‘family’ near anything you expect they’d be loving and supportive; especially in an awful economy that hardly allows you to make ends meet unless you can run 3 jobs or find 1 really awesome job that pays you enough to make a decent living.

Which, given all the abuse I’ve endured growing up I’ve not been the most social person or well equipped to even hold down one job very well as I approach everybody with caution and act fearful they’re going to yell at me because they can when you work retail.

When it comes to my ‘family’ I’ve been grabbed by the throat, kicked, screamed at inches from my face, griped at whenever I so much as try to use the kitchen so I’ve not bothered to buy any food to heat up all because it can ‘smell gross’ when said landlords buy and heat up the same stuff I did, told constantly how fat I look, how I should eat, how loudly I eat, how I eat too quickly or too slowly to where I got an eating disorder or even eating out in public or near people is a nightmare, told what an inept child I am, what an idiot I am (even recently), and when I am proven to be right after such horrible treatment in a situation that caused a vile avalanche of unneeded name calling, the person reasonable won’t even bring themselves to apologize but instead storms away from my presence and avoids me like the plague.

A week later, they still haven’t bothered to apologize, and I know if I ever bring it up ‘I am being childish and holding onto the past’ somehow…

Because yes, I'm always in the wrong…*Sighs*

Things have gotten so bleak for me because I see myself suffering as this for years to come unless some miracle happens that I just sort of gave up wanting to even live for the past several days. I’ve shot down my eating less and less in hopes to scrounge up money to pay off my credit faster for one (as I had to buy a fuckin’ new car battery for 158 dollars…so my once 600 dollar credit shot up to 758…), but for another I am hoping to either just get what money I need on this crappy job to move out or something—I won’t say but you get the idea of what I wish would happen at this point as I am so fed up with feeling like a prisoner.

It was a reason my commission prices had to increase too, and I apologize for people wanting a story for cheap prices, but I just cannot keep writing nearly 100 page stories for 30 dollars. It’s not something I can do anymore, and I need the money to get somewhere other than here…

I also decided to stop doing free requests as I just cannot find the time for them anymore. When I started playing Spyro recently I realized how long it has been since I actually sat down and enjoyed a game without worry of ‘oh no, I gotta update my blog, this fic, this thing here’. Maybe for writing exercises you’ll see me open them but I feel when I look back on stories of mine that could become great novels or personal OC/Canon stories, I took the ‘please everybody’ road and turned them into reader inserts. I really want to drift away from that, stop giving so much and only getting 2 or 3 people out of 2,000+ giving donations to help me in my situation out. If I were getting more donations then I would for sure write more inserts, but it’s just not helping me at all with making ends meet and that’s sadly what I have to look at here—if free stuff is worth the outcome.

In the end, it is not, so my reader insert days will probably come to a close after I finish Ignis’ and Noctis’ runaway with me stories or someone commissions me to write something else.

The only thing I can look at is Patreon when it comes to something like that and ask people to pay a dollar a month for something special they can read but whether or not anybody would be willing to donate even a dollar a month is beyond me, but I mean—seriously, guys—if 2,000 people donated a dollar a month, I’d be making WAY more than what I make now at my retail job, and it’s worth a shot for me. But, I dunno. We’ll see what becomes of that idea.

I do have a Redbubble account which I cannot link here as I know Tumblr will hide the post from search, but just know that it’s there. I did update some pieces, made them even bigger so they can fit on more things, and I deleted the ones I wasn’t happy with. If there’s anything art wise you’d like to see in my account, then by all means, let me know. Ko-Fi is linked in my description of my blog, so if you want to donate whatever, you’re welcome to. I would do Twitch streams and such but I am so shy at people watching me game. Maybe when I get the courage I will start slowly with a few people I know before building up an audience. I am just not and never was big on wanting to be the center of attention. ^^””

Anyways, I thank you all for your patience; especially my commissioners. I am super sorry I took a hiatus from even updating my commissions when I shouldn’t have, but I do appreciate you guys for waiting all the same. It means a lot to me. I promise to get back to everything that I can soon. I just…needed a mental break…a day or two to cry.

~Oreana Galena

#and now if you'll excuse me...I just banged my fuckin' knee on my desk #and god damn it hurts... x-x #real life #writing #writer woes #commission #commissions #abusive home life #important #update #kwehed

SION: So, does having the same strange aura mean that OMI-kun and I are fellows?

OMI: No, it’s totally different. Stop it.

RYO: Here we go again~! The bashful OMI-kun ☆

OMI: Am not. I’m tootally not shy.

Q. You really get along, huh?

LEO: That’s right. Even on stage we talk eagerly. (lol) As you can see from the flow of the conversation just now, OMI-chan has established a unique world.

MAGURA: Even though there are only 10 minutes left until the stand-by, OMI-kun checks the steps by himself.

RYO: Today too, I was wondering where did he run off, but once he came back he was all sweaty (lol). “Huh!? Did you just come back from a sauna!?”, said Leader to poke fun at him. (lol)

MAGURA: Leader’s comedy acts are always running high, haha.

SION: That’s true!

LEO: Huh? Before I knew it, it’s my turn? (lol)

RYO: Even when Leader is the MC, he sets up his silly booby traps! He’s really reliable! OMI-kun and Leader have totally different personalities, but when they’re standing together on stage they show a really reliable side of them; it gets us all fired up and make us want to work hard!

MAGURA: LEO-kun’s leadership is really something. He pulls us together.

RYO: That's not an aggressive sensation, it’s natural. If I were a girl, I would definitely fall for a guy that has Leader’s qualities~!

SION: But if it’s about being natural that we’re talking about, aren’t you also pretty straightforward, RYO-kun?

LEO: His switch is always on after all. Especially the tension when there’s a meal in front of him is remarkable. (lol)

RYO: I like catering, that’s all!!

MAGURA: Indeed, haha. In front of a catering, RYO-kun’s tension is at its MAX. I think it’s really cute when that happens.

RYO: Eh!?

SION: There’s no mistake, since Hi!Superb’s cute one says so.

RYO: ! Ah, thanks!!

LEO: Also, when I’m the MC you take the lead telling me I gotta be lively during our scenes and enhance the mood, so I’m always saved by that.

RYO: I was praised by Leader! Yaay!

LEO: However, there are also moments when you rush things up, so there’s room for improvement, haha.

RYO: !!

OMI: Because you push your way through as if you’re in a bulfight. I’d be happy if you could calm down a little.

RYO: Uwaaaah~~ I was body-slammed~~ (cries).

SION: I think that having a challenging spirit is amazing.

RYO: Thank you, SION!

A question from Leader that’ll cause the youngest members to be in a pinch.

LEO: To MAGURA and SION in particular, if you were to work with someone from Hi!Superb, who would you choose?

MAGURA: Hmm, let’s see...

LEO: It’s okay if it’s just from your current impressions!

RYO: No, no, I’m scared!

SION: Ehh, It’s troubling because I want to be with everyone.

RYO: Well then! When I went out to eat with SION before, I was told that "I feel so comfortable with RYO-kun!"

SION: I wonder if I really did say that, haha.

LEO: So, is SION saying he’s fine doing things together with RYO?

OMI: Somehow, the pressure here is amazing.

MAGURA: I really want to try being together with everyone, so it's difficult to answer..... But, I'm sure that here “I want to be with you all” is the right answer, right?

RYO: Stop make this look like it’s business! (cries)

LEO: Speaking of MAGU-chan, he has a refined ability to perceive and watch closely his surroundings, haha. Before, during Hi!Superb’s program Hi!SuPunch, I ate something very spicy, but when I was in agony MAGU-chan was the very first that brought me water.

RYO: Although they’re younger than me, I think they’re really reliable. During lives, it’s odd how I often go to the youngers’ (to MAGURA & SION) side, maybe it’s becose I sense safety from them.

LEO: You really love MAGU-chan, RYO!

RYO: True, sometimes I mistake him for a girl! (lol) But when I look at his abdominal muscles, "Ah..... I get it, after all he’s a man" I say, disappointed. (lol)

OMI: That’s obvious.

RYO: Here’s the straight man, OMI-kun getting colder and colder!

OMI: Stop! Don’t stick close to me!

MAGURA: RYO-kun...

SION: Yeah, and a bit of a M.

LEO: SION, what's your impression on MAGURA?

SION: Well... We’re the same age and we get along. It’s kind of like... if you get too close, he’ll disappear, as if there is a hole in one’s heart?

MAGURA: Such a thing, you’re formidable, SION. A natural charisma.

Q. Although the debut single “Turn Into Love” was released on May 30, please tell us about the most important part of the tune title.

LEO: The image and the songs are filled with all the charms that us, Hi!Superb, have now. It's a fascinating song, I think that you can enjoy this single even more if you do it together with us.

MAGURA: The parts of the lyrics, “We’re here now because we could overcome it”, “Shine on our tomorrow“, have this kind of “We’re keeping an eye on the future so we’ll work hard!” feeling. I'd be glad if you noticed not only the performance, but also the rest.

RYO: It's a song filled with the refreshingness of 5 people working altogether for their dream and giving their 10000% in performances!

OMI: It's the song that symbolizes us. From now on, whenever we show off this song, I think that it will keep evolving rapidly. A fascinating song suitable for a debut, so please pay attention at the live and have fun.

RYO: I think it’s a very exciting song! I will do my utmost for the performance, so I hope you enjoy it when I’ll perform during the live. In the lyrics it says “Let’s believe in a world that we drew together”, but it’s filled with thoughts like “It’ll come true with all those who support you!”. I’ll be very happy if everyone can hear it with such feelings!

SION: “Turn Into Love” means “Come to be Love*”. Those who know us and those who don’t, I hope that if you listen to this song your love for Hi!Superb will deepen. It's our important debut song. I think it became a good beginning. In other words, amazing!

MAGURA: It’s our splendid debut song! I think that more songs will see the light from now on, but I think that this became the iconic song of Hi!Superb.

Q. “Turn Into Love” has a MV, but what are the points worthy of note?

MAGURA: There are a lot of lip synch scenes, but each personality comes out amazingly. By all means, find out each of our personalities.

LEO: The lightning tone scene at the beginning leaves a strong impression.

RYO: Yep, yep! Me too, my switch turns on when listening to the thunder at the beginning!

MAGURA: RYO-kun’s lively switch?

OMI: It sounds different when it comes to it.

SION: Suddenly comical, haha.

LEO: But, it may be true that that sound surely contains feelings. At that moment, it really feels like from one we become five.

SION: Usually everyone separes this way, but in this MV a lot of sex appeal comes out.

Q. Thank you very much. Is there anything you would like to challenge yourself with in the future?

MAGURA: Since SION can speak english and chinese, it’d be nice to have a place to use that skill.

RYO: Sounds nice! I want to go overseas!!

OMI: How simple-minded, but I sure want to challenge myself and perform overseas as soon as possible.

LEO: Since our motto is to challenge anything, I'd also like the 5 of us to star in play someday.

RYO: Ah--!! That’s nice too! I wanna do that too! And I'd like to be on the cover page of a magazine! MY★STAR stuff, I’ll be in your care!!

SION: OMI-kun and MAGU-chan already said it earlier, but we shouldn’t stop in Japan; we’ll start up activities overseas and live the american dream (※Editorial note: It was a very good pronunciation....!)

OMI: There’s a part in Turn Into Love that says “To a world we have yet to see”, but I think that the future we can't even imagine is waiting down the road. A play, activities overseas too, precisely because we’re not known I want to challenge myself to see what I can do.

RYO: How nice! Like, basketball!?

OMI: .... What?

MAGURA: Ah, I’ll make the teams.

RYO: As expected, I think that it’s good for the 5 of us to sweat over one spor...

OMI: Leader, the final words to you.

LEO: Eh-!! (lol)

Q. By all means, please give us a final message!

LEO: Understood (lol). Hi!Superb is a group of which charm lies in performances and team work. Said charm can be seen in lives, no matter how many times I say it!! So, anyway, come see us first. If you think you were deceived, I’ll say it one more time! There’s also the MV attached to the special edition CD released in May, so I think you can enjoy it more if you see the images and listen to the songs, that’ll make us happier than anything. But even without preparations, since we’re making a stage that you can enjoy, I’ll say it again, please do come and see us Hi!Superb.

ALL: By all means~!

Chapter 8 of naito’s autobiography which is about his time in mexico

USA TNA participation In S where will you base your base? Although it was a TNA expedition of gthr month, it was mainly three months and a half to America but during that time I stayed at the hotel in Orlando in Florida for a long time .. TNA is a venue within Orlando's "Universal Studios Florida" So I was recording games for TV taping. I think that it is probably about 1000 people not to enter probably because it is only the side from the main camera that the audience seats are made by making the audience seats and entrance gates in the place like the exhibition hall and placing the ring. Take a game of about two days and four weeks a month at a stretch here. We feel like one game a day. After that there was a PPV shooting with regular broadcast at about 1 a month, otherwise it was somewhat live show at other venues. That's why T does not exist. I was surprised that the number of games was quite small compared to New Japan, but in the NA era of Team 3D that was close to the hotel, I went through a total of 10 games and practiced a bit.D dojo is Brother Ray & Brother, Di ↓ "Youm 3D Academy" which was then the 1 WGP Tahugu champion then! Because there was a ring there, I played a game with young players at week 3, and Ray and Deepon were not about that content, but I could hardly understand almost (lol) I was instructing that my father seems to be a hot blooded foster, and have a rumbling dumbbell. He seems not to be a former wrestler, though. Well, the number of games is small, but I did not feel uneasy especially at that time. 11 TNA also learned Okada athletes and learned to be aware of the position of the camera during the match at the site, how about that? That is the same for me. Often it is said that millions of people are watching over the main camera r that TNA's erotic person ". It may be hard for Japanese customers to understand, but since TNA is mainly televised, it was playing while thinking about the camera's ancestry somehow. It is part that thinks attractive game, and this experience is living even after coming back to Japan. Even though I am watching Okada's game, I do not think she is conscious of the camera NO LIMIT won the MCMG with a non-title title in the first game of TNA, made a good start, I think that the reaction of customers was also good, is not it different from Japan? I bet he probably did not know who we were, but I think he was surprised at the movement of Koch. However, the ring of hexagonal system of TN A characteristic was hard to do anyway. Running at right angles to the opponent, basically it is necessary to run in the oblique direction of the opponent without having a corner, so, that is why, that was not used to the end at that time +2 «u was big names such as Sting, Cart, Angle, Kevin Nash etc in the American matte world, but what about doing research by watching the game? Or, I have not seen much of it (laugh). I think that I am interested in observing it now, but I was a wrestler over there and I had a bit of contact with Tama Tonga before coming to New Japan ... I saw it in the 3D dojo several times . When Tiger Hattori came to Orlando, we all went to eat rice, including Tama's father Mr. Ki Gaku, and Mr. Haku had seen the game left in fan days , "When you first met," Are you the one who was up to Arai Japan? "I thought after. It was Scott Steiner that I met a bit with the TNA and after all I was amazing at Steiner Brothers in New Japan in the 1990's, so I hit it with Patru Royal only once, so I got him over over the top rope I was dropped. At that time TNA had a lot of athletes, but I thought that the quality of the game was high is MCMG and AJ. I only watched their games. TNA is getting into the venue early in the day, it has been time to leave and slept in the waiting room. Because it is at 18 o'clock but the competition must be at 10 o'clock. Well, I guess I have only to go to bed. (Laugh) "11 As a result, from the surroundings I took a GOOD NIGHT and Nightwear," GOOD NAITO. It seems to have been called (laugh). r, what is this Japanese? (Laugh) "TNA had luxurious catering so much in the day and night, but basically I slept except to eat meals, but I occasionally play cards I had it mixed with AJ. It is rare for me to take that kind of behavior from myself, but it was 1 ton by crushing the ruins while playing cards with AJ and the opponent of the staff. I did not know the game, but I got taught somehow, I, sap and ase as "I am playing with uu, me, A J -." (1 夭) "When traveling abroad, are you also concerned about the trend of New Japan Matt? Will you be forgotten?" I was checking the news that I did not have when leaving Japan on the net. I was particularly concerned about the location of the 1 wGP junior tag. MC challenged in the United States and lost, MCMG did a defensive game with Ap o 11 o 55 in Japan, but even then you absolutely win! Because I was thinking. If it is not, there is no meaning that we got into America. 11 Especially what hard work did you have in the field? Because I thought, it is a barrier of words after all the words. We need English to appeal something before, during and after the game, we can not do that at all. Even when taking a promo, the TNA side did not have to speak r so much "It was like a feeling (bitter smile). No matter how good the game is in the United States, I understand it painfully that I can not succeed unless I can appeal in my business. Come to think of it, I also made Mike practice at the 3D dojo. Yujiro was doing his best in English in katakoto, but I can not speak at all, so what am I going to do. If you do that, you can do it for Japanese"I was ordered, Tetsuya Naito, my favorite food is a monster! I remember saying something like "(r)" It is delicious when you add mentaiko! It is great to eat while drinking a cola! "While saying" While I can say only this, there is a meaning to practice microphone I thought, 'Wonderful?' However, perhaps the outcome of the exercise at that time may be demonstrating now (laugh) In this TNA expedition it was the biggest match for NO LIMIT that was done on April 19> At MCMG 1 wGP Junior Tag with wire mesh 3 WAY Th e L atin A me ri can 2 change (It was a game that fulfilled the challenge with Homicide & Sean Hernande. In this house show about 2 days ago, Alex Sherry and Tag When I got involved, I got dislocated from his throwing technique and dislocated his knees.I was so swollen that I could not move at all.When on the day I hit a pain stop and tightened to tighten in the taping, the throne Although I tried to force it out because I could not shake the opportunity of war, it was not that sweet, TNA has also learned a lot, but I get back the belt Vivid debut with Mexican stews NO LIMIT went through the TNA expedition for three and a half months and wrestled Mexico CMLL from the end of May 2009 wwar What is this background? Originally, I planned to return to Japan in about two months after I regained IWGP junior tag from MCMG. It is just bad even if I go back to Japan as a result of a series match in the title match 4 It is feeling that I changed the ring to fight in the sense of breaking the state that er 勐 H was. If you are successful in CMLL, you can raise the value of NO LIMIT. - ICM LL is a naive group with the oldest history in the world. However, there are images that anyone who experienced a noise experience players who traveled to Mexico, but did not resist? I was worried about what kind of country in advance, but it is a dangerous place to investigate anywhere. To honesty I wanted to change the fighting environment, I honestly thought "I do not want to go for a while" (laugh). K, Funi, I watched the CMLL relay on Samurai TV in the era. At that time Mistico was a big There was no ater in Rucha as it was happening at , and the packing of Arena Mexico continued. Because I liked faster game development rather. However, there was prepared that I can not do it because I went to Mexico and I could not return home live (lol) "Yujiro leaked complain about Mexico entry, r ah, I never ever I had never been to go back to Japan and both of them would have enlarged the belly without any souvenirs.It will be impossible to return to Japan and the first round of CMLL will be on May 29th at the Arena Mexico Tournament Semi.Le Junior & La Sombra with a trio with El · Ifjo de Dos · Crows (Dos · Kaktor · Garza & Vorado · Ar-ú del Rio which becomes 33-ancu-ame to ena-se) Three people also participated in the New Japan later, and it seems that about 10,000 people were in the venue when I thought that it was awesome cards Japan and the United States It is totally different, the most way is to support, Mexico does not have a habit of flying calls to players together.If you like to blow a rumble that is like Vuvuzela, I mean, we were Ruud, but the response of the venue was not clear at the time It was a big boat. According to what I heard later. The guys who were near-tag champions come! It seems they had pretty much promoted it, like the advertisement like - u6 ga ga garasa down by ca at Stardust Press Garza decided to make a relentless debut with Canceled CMLL side I feel that syuji and this one became a big branch point for NO LIMIT. I decided Stardust Press at first, and KO the top players. Without this impact, the name could also be sold with a single shot, and the future of NOLIM ︼T after it seems to have changed a lot. I think that it was also connected to Ross Ingo Perna Breath after that. Did you recognize the players of R>? No, not at all in this first battle. However, as for Dos · crow, r has a little rim. He has been to the general competition in Japan several times, is not it? At that time, I got a ticket to a group of Hamaguchi gym and went to see the convention of the Yokohama Cultural Gymnasium (01-8: 18 = .DEEP 2001 In YOKOHAMA). At this time, Dos Crows threw the over mask to the audience seats before the game, but I caught it (laugh). I also wanted to tell him this episode But at that time, Spanish was also clear, so it was regrettable that I was not able to tell it, but when I was z ^ it seemed that I was staying at Eji Hotel all the time, but what is the life base in Mexico? I entered Mexico and 2 ^ 3 = was staying at a hotel next to Arena Mexico, but later I moved to a Japanese-owned pension found by Yujiro. After that I heard that Tanahashi Rider and middle 3P. It seems that he stayed there even when it was expedition to Mexico. Because it is for Japanese people, it seems that 4-point safety was guaranteed (laugh). But I also had dangerous eyes. I did not get stabbed, but I was scolded by a knife. Something, when I got on a taxi, the signal was stopped by a man who took a hand with a knife from the pick and r knife while swinging! What? Talk to me (laugh) "Because it was a strange eye, it may be that I was using an obscene medicine, then at that time the taxi driver got angry," Take that dirty hand back. It scolded and scolded away like me, but it was also!) "It is also nice (laugh). Speaking of a taxi, did not you do it? It is a routine event in Mexico. However, because it is not a big bait for the Japanese yen, it is said that it seems stupid SAZws fun is stupid "After two months or more - diarrhea continued and Kana In the stage immediately after entering the locality, I thought that "Tacos is Mexico is speaking" and I ate the guy who was selling at a stall in front of Paku, but that is a lucky stick "strong straw As it stops for a moment, I will be back soon again so when I go to Mexico it was over 100 kilometers over the 10 kilometers in that two months I did not want to go out much It was a mistake that I made it easily in front of the pension (laugh ).Area · Mexico's Luca classroom _ BUSH - This pension is the reunion in the selection? BUSH belonging to all Japan then - NO LIM 08 I went to Mexico since November but when I went to the preview of the pension it happened that I met Battari earlier than BUSH au T. I feel like each other? Since Hamaguchi Jim, I have not contacted Mexico all the time since that - it's BUSH when I first met! It is a fat image, but when I saw him in Mexico I was fluffy. With Mexico doppli and feel familiar. At that time impressive CAP who was accompanied by us] teaching Mr. Hattori, BUSHI takes care of you well · I will introduce sightseeing sites, teach the main shop, maybe the tie is , Boston's strength is the strength of BUSHI later (laugh) "It may be related to this transfer in 0, BUSH! The player has gone up to a different organization instead of CMLL at mexi n"? I went to a very far place. When I go to the venue with this taxi, it is a nightmare of CMLL! I guess it's gonna be like that. That's why it was 80% of what I would like to be harvested. (Laugh) - That was all that CMLL was broadcasting in a good time of terrestrial broadcasting, and I gained a sense of recognition at a stroke with a single shot that sent Gulfa to tanka. For me, Mexico is more indie group like iw RG than in the US It was a place like about 1 o'clock, but I was also enjoying having a lot of excitement going to see the game so far . - BUSH - It seems that it was a relationship held in the field. Certainly BUSH 1 took care of me, I am BUSH! I guess you'd feel like trying to give the ogle to you, BUSH! I came from Guy Guy (laugh) "I was not interested in organizations other than New Japan, and at that time he was a member of all Japan, so I did not feel like getting along well. One medicine. But, BUSH! Before I go anywhere I take the initiative I know something nice: with. It seems that half of the returning week seems to have taken me to a barbecue shop. Do not say the presence or absence when the slip comes in! "Offering to the cotch (laugh). Well, BUSH! I got a consultation when I made costumes and ring shoes in the field and he was selling it making original shirts and goods, but also support "Naito san also should do it" doing for me. Collectibles are irrespective of the permission of the group, it is feeling that each player is doing it without permission. Rather, if you do not do it yourself, it will be made without permission and sold at the shop (bitter smile). 111 Rights relationship is in an uncontrollable state (laugh). I was also Ogow, but CMLL was fight money so much! . Basically anything is ants, so that country. If you look at selling merchandises of Japanese maskmen around the venue still, you absolutely do not have permission, do you? I think (laugh). Also, BUSH! He gave me a variety of ingredients from Japan, so make curry and make rice balls for your lunch. I was able to rice well in the morning "and came to wake me up. Right now, his role in J. ru CA, in fact, it was exactly like a wife..What kind of pace was the CMLL? TNA has a small number of games, but CMLL has some permanent venues, and when I was there, Monday was around 3-4 per week from the beginning Arena Puebla 9. We are holding a tournament every week here, Tuesday is Arena · Mexico 冫: name - 1 and Arena ·, Coliseo · Guadalajara (C squirrel NE) 2 places. I wonder if it was Arena Mexico or Terrahara on Sunday. Clerical IT of CMLL It was too early to become familiar with IT Ruta. CMLL is closed on Wednesday and Thursday, Friday is on Arena Mexico on Saturday and is closed on Nácoliseo - + - a na ,, - 1, Arena · Coriceo · Guada once a week, I'm going to check out, but the games were organized on the main semi semi - NO LIM. That's why Yujiro has taken over the Japanese style battle. Whether Mexico did not suit, Rucha classroom which I am presiding also came only about the first time. _ cMLL holds a course to teach Lucha, from young people aiming for Lucha doll to active players. There are many classes, and what to do by the teacher is different. I was not forced to attend at Arena Mexico, but I was taught to the former athlete who took a break. There was not srer from the staff y; +0 so it is tires and 41 people. Q-. 'ther, r ___ ___ ___ ___ 0 ___ ___ 0 ___ ___ 0 ___ ___ ___ 0 It is practice of e to say that there were a lot of basic 6. So when you sleep after the 2 hour practice is over and go to the gym train to the gym from the evening when there is no match → + 6, honest Where in Luchi + 4 the room is quite quite quiet on the CMLL 's top, but the first places I sold originally did not come, but in my case I will stay there Because it was great that I became acquainted with other Ruchador because I was in trouble Temple helps you - What kind of lechado did you learn together? If you are familiar with Japanese fans, mascara, Dorada, or a race that is over 20 years old Probably it was before and after the CMLL debut.What is the same physique as me R "I became a partner well in the practice of becoming a pair of two people. Other than that, Sombra 6 gave a voice to me, but Jimbra was a different class. If you meet in the venue or in the street, feel free to talk about the original members of Ingo Berna Press, you tas. La I feel that the connection of has been used later. Everything is "Tranquilo" Is it also in Mexico? zo ーー MIT was basically a separate action except on the ring, but I met only with the huge 1alar hand at the venue almost .. At the time of TNA was still in the same room at the hotel but in Mexico Because it was a separate room at Pensin, so much else. Well, I did not mention much about the pension itself, though. Unlike in the United States for some reason, I personally got hooked on Mexico. I made friends of Rucha d'Or and local colleagues, and I was imprisoned in the Mexican house unexpectedly. Back to the pension is when you are going to pick up your luggage, at that timing you feel like going out to eat rice with BUSH-. So, say "Ok then" I will return to my friend's house (laugh). 11 At that time, Naito was particularly good friends Ruchadoru? Angel de Oro 12 years rSUPER! Will you join? And then that older brother, Angel De I also know Soprano · Junior who came to 193 Plata (4th? DC) - "CMLL FANTASTICA MANIA" aw ru, war) since he was young. Because I lived behind the house of a good friend of mine. Is not the best reason why Mexico fitted was nonbillion. Everything is called "trunk-t" or CMLL officials said, "Because there is a TV coverage, we are gathering at Arena Mexico at 10 am", no one came by on time Yes. So when it comes around eleven o'clock or around twelve o'clock, it will come without worrying (a bitter smile). At the beginning I was with Ira, but the feeling that one can not be bound by that time has become fit for me. It was very free air. So, I did a lot of things that I do not do in Japan. Unlike Japan, there are no acquaintances in the venue, and even if we get in line, I do not understand it in Spanish, so it was said that it was an easy environment to do such things. For example, regular people sitting in the front row of the audience seats every time, but I was pretty much pleased. So, Mexico is tired easily because Mexico is thin, so I went to those people during the game, got a bee ,, aru or popcorn and played a game while nutritioning tu IICMLL requests and restrictions on games Did you have it? CA (laugh). It was said quite strongly that the weapon was not good. After that the pile driver is banned 194 It is cheerful, because it will be suspended when you use it, it seems that there is a license of Ruchador certified by the Mexican Federal District Commission beyond, so it seems that we can not do it together We are a special border from abroad , I got a license not to take a test, I always had one.

Certainly there were audiences who pulled out the edge of the eyes to narrow down the field, so on the contrary, "I see, you can open the cotch?" I started doing that gesture.

(Well, that poise came in, there are also many farming associations receiving interviews from various media on the site and it is said that in the talk show like r konko in Japan " I had been out, but because Spanish was the main thing so basically I just did a pose that opened my eyes all the time (laugh) "Were you playing with iR! 110 at that time? I was cheerful but I did not come to the scene on the day (bitter smile). Even though I take it one, I think that Mexico did not suit me. "OKUMURA Even though the players are careful, Even if you are looking at by side whether you are watching by side, the feeling that you are having fun in the United States has been communicated, so Hirouji Shiro is nothing more about what will happen in Mexico, how it will be formed after coming back to Japan Thinking about it 41 On the contrary, I was thinking about Japan about returning to Japan n 40 and thinking that it was not the top in C MLL. "Did there be any difference in the popularity of NO LIMIT at the site? I think that it was so, like the cheers in the game, the venue 0, the rate I can call out when I get out Since I was watching the sun at Arenamakebi m and being playing well, it was Shokufuku, and in Rude ai - u the loss of Ross, Guerrero slug Nero 's missing! Timo Greero who did it was that boss and it was more noticeable as it was characterized by an aggressive attack. For Technico "r»: a 5, "The popularity of Stiko and Polador is terrible, and it is as the continuing after that, Sombra, about twenty years old, gathered attention and supported it, and to Japanese fans I suppose it will not be familiar, but I remember well the season like Tuscano and it is not a player with big features, but because I was the opponent who won the hair cut match. 111 Hair trimmer match, the Arena mehi nva hosted the big match r Infinno on July 31, 2009. It is a battle against 15 crowded wire gauze Cabella in A-L-Ring. It is er. As a fighting game, the man who escaped from the wire mesh is overwhelming, and at the end it became a single fight with Toscan EN, and I was dangerous whether it was late running away and being a booby penalty (K) 7-11 Last Naito fought at the Dragon Soup Rex and Toscano became a full-bodied figure! This and the first Tiger Mask Sayama on January 16, the Japanese won the match against Caberajer at Arena Mexico 79 A year ago, Alphon? Danthes. Since I made it a tea ceremony, it was the first time in 30 years that I gathered aw and collected It would not have been transmitted to Japan, but the locality was blown up by mecha kuchiya. In the first place u himself was winning Mexicans at the main of Arena Mexico, it was almost impossible almost impossible, so at the moment I won, the fireworks came up in the hall and confetti snowed. In that victory, I thought that the fire was more popular, listening to the name of the chief - Tiger is also legendary in the field, but rather I was called Raigel You're a Ryger player. When we were in Mexico, big linger players also joined in short-term expedition due to the appearance of Hisabisa in Mexico, but it was a hot topic. Ryger has participated in CMLL for about two weeks from September 11, 2009. I'm going to pick up Ryger at the airport, but not a local specialty magazine or a sports newspaper but a great number of media gathered from general magazines to television. Even when NOLIMI T entered Mexico, the number of TVs was one or two, but it did not compare with that one. -NO LIMIT is a quartet with Riger player and 0 KUMURA players and Guelero & Atlantis & Garza & Black Warrior at the annual maximum event of CML on September 18 r Anniversary Salio " I won pairs and left the impact. At that time Arena Mexico was buried gissiri from end to end and it was awesome excitement, so its impression is stronger than the game. Mexico is strongly patriotic, so booing was focused on nch as expected, but when I came up with the Riger player at CMLL, I realized again that "Riger 's awesome popularity is reality. In my CMLL my popularity is higher "I thought. However, I was confident through this expedition as much as "I am not a device for Liger." The feeling was really strong. In the middle of November, during the expedition of Mexico in the war against Cabella, Mr. Sugiba president (currently · 0 and Tiger Hattori visited the site, having a meeting with the representative Francisco Alonso, the work of both groups The partnership was officially announced.CMLL It was thought that because NO LIMIT played an active part in Mexico that it became a solid relationship to that. Prior to that, Tanahashi player, Nakayashi Cho, Taguchi player and Goto players. Many Japanese Rises to CMLL. I only have and only months we have continued to rise to E main or semi because we are the only ones we had business collaboration announced during our expedition and it will be the success of NO LIMIT . I went up to the ring of Denipur Saorio and felt the rousing enthusiasm of Luca with skin, so I thought, "Japanese fans do not know this fever but I want to tell you by our active activities." So it was a pleasure when I heard the alliance. And at this time, President Suginbayashi gave NO LIMIT a 1.4 Tokyo Dome plan for the next 10 years. However, because NO LIMIT is an important time to dig into the CMLL 's top front line, "I want you to prepare conditions, positions and guarantee that we are convinced if returning home," then -2. This is totally real intention. It is a waste to let go of the position built with our power. In the place that it is set as the summit of Mexico a little more, I am lost about what I have to go back to Japan. That was the kind of feeling that I do not want to get out of New Japan before I go out on a trip abroad, but even though I felt the possibilities and responsiveness as my wrestler in Mexico. About TN when I was concerned about Japan, but after going to Mexico that CA It is not even. So, rather than returning to Japan, I was thinking how to deliver the situation that is active in this CMLL to Japan more. , At that time, NO L-MIT is CMLL and El Terrible & Tejano Jr.'s Tag Team · Iho de Apelo. And had developed conflict. Tejano is trying to challenge the 1 w GP junior heavyweight championship held by Mr. Minoru in 2007 and · Terrible later collaborated with BULLET CLUB, both of which are related to New Japan, but what kind of Do you have an impression? CMLL is a lot of lightweight players who are good at airborne killing, but terrier and Tehano obviously have a body deck .. There is not much flying skill and ordinary Japanese heavyweight players Feeling close to us, we were mutually mutual, but CMLL was losing as soon as we inflated a foul, so it was unexpectedly batting in a straight game. And, both teams will play Capelli 2 races at the main of December 4, CMLL's Last Big Match Jin Sarida '. At this time, it was done with three games, the third one greeted one on one, Naito ate after eating a 1 and Teribre visited the diving body press and was defeated and fought. sat, zo, MIT is becoming a shudder "to the key point (bitter smile)" The shopkeeper of Life = 3 degrees That was a humiliation 4 "It was as small as memorable vs, t2% It was yelled at the Makabe player and turned down by Mr. Masaru, Mr. Hirasawa (bitter smile)" It was the third time in my life But, in the first place the game you played in Mexico is the final settlement, or the title match is like a battle. So during this expedition period I and Yujiro also rounded Luchador. That is how I left the track record and fought at the front line of CMLL, but when they lost and became a shudder r ah, it ended up "I became a feeling. That 's why the things we built are close to the feeling of collapse. It is only a few minutes to cut it, but I thought about various things. Although it is Ruud vs Rude, as it is a graphic expression of Mehi ng Ha Pon や, it is exciting when the other side won over us no matter what kind of hands, because we used to make the Mexican shoulder until then Basically think that "Zamami kan Raw" was air - At the end of this game NO LIMIT will return to the country, but is the game still unforgettable? In many ways it seems ... ... Actually, I was in physical condition with a shock when I was invited to Mr. Sugabayashi to talk about my return home in November. Something, r, ever Mexi

drunk confessions -oh hyuk

Genre: Angst

Pairing: Reader x Hyuk, Reader x Code Kunst (<--- this was never supposed to happen lol, but it did)

Word Count: 3,190

Backstory: the both of you never remembered the drunk confessions, never noticed the feelings you mutually shared, until it was too late.

“You think they would be dating by now, right?” Hyunjae whispered to his two bandmates sitting next to him.

“Honestly it’s about time we tell them what they do when they’re piss drunk.” Donggun said, then elbowed Inwoo, “Take a video, this must be the end of the drunk confessions.”

Hyunjae, Donggun, and Inwoo have a shared photo album, where they put the videos they captured of you and Hyuk confessing to each other. They decided tonight, shall be the last video, and the next party they will expose the drunk confessions.

You met him on the playground during elementary school, your goal that year was to make him your best friend. The problem was, Hyuk was shy, and any attempt of socialization made him run away from you. The ambitious little 8 year old you were, did not take no as an answer, so you chased him. This lasted about two weeks, until he finally spoke up, and spoke to you for the first time.

“What do you want from me?” He said not running away from you.

“I want to be best friends with you.” You replied with the biggest smile on your face, you couldn’t believe that a single word would come out of his mouth.

He awkwardly stood their looking at you, “Um, why? You don’t know anything about me, and I don’t know anything about you.” He replied scratching the back of his head.

Your smile deflated, how were you supposed to reply to that? Since you didn’t respond quickly, Hyuk started to walk away. You couldn’t accept the rejection, he couldn’t slip through your hands this quick. As you were used to at this point, you ran up to him.

“Hyuk! You shouldn’t walk away from your friend like that.” You replied upset, and to prevent him from walking away again you held his hand.

“What are you doing?” He looked at you surprised with flushed cheeks.

“Best friends hold hands, silly.” You started to happily walk ahead, and you felt a tug. Hyuk planted his feet and wouldn’t move, so you dragged him along with you. “Hyuk, me tugging you all the time won’t work out every recess. We need to work together.”

It took a week worth of recess for him to finally walk along side you, but he still remained silent. You asked him simple questions to learn more about him, and he’d give you one word answers.

At the end of the school day, parents would come to pick up there children. One day you decided to approach Hyuk’s parents when they came to pick him up.

“Hello Mrs and Mr. Oh, it is nice to meet you both.” You said excitedly to his parents. “I’m Hyuk’s newest best friend, well I’m not sure if he thinks we are friends, but I do. I was wondering if Hyuk could come over to my house tomorrow for a play date.” You smiled at them hoping for a more friendly reaction from them, rather than Hyuk’s rejection.

They looked down at your eager eyes with smiles on their faces. They weren’t aware of Hyuk’s new friend as he never spoke a word of his classmates. To them you were a very friendly girl, and to Hyuk you were a pest. “We’d love for Hyuk to have a play date with you. Are your parents here yet? We should talk to them.” You nodded in response and brought the Oh’s to your mother and father.

While the parents were talking, you saw Hyuk with his arms crossed and his head down.

“Why do you want to be my friend so bad?” He said to you as you stared at him.

“Because, I just want to.” He looked at you displeased with your answer. “If you don’t have fun at the play date tomorrow I will leave you alone.”

He nodded his head, “Fine. You can’t chase me around, talk to me, or hold my hand if I don’t have fun.” In Hyuk’s head he thought that he was going to dread this play date with you. He thought he was going to be free from your grip forever.

Hyuk thought wrong, the next day at your family’s apartment he had a blast. He never bothered to learn about you, so he didn’t know what to expect. At your house, your father had a whole room dedicated to music. Once he stepped foot into that room, he found himself amazed to what surrounded him. He looked around at the guitars hanging around the room, the gigantic grand piano in the far corner, all the signed pictures from foreign artist. Your father let Hyuk play a couple of the guitars, and taught him new chords.

After that session with your father, Hyuk sat down on your couch to watch TV, his face still covered with a smile. Seeing how happy he looked, you gathered one of your many CD players and a couple CDs from foreign bands to give to him. As you approached him he pointed at what you were carrying.

“What’s that for?” He asked.

“It’s a CD player, it’s for you.” You replied, holding your hands out for him to grab it.

“Wow, really?” He questioned you surprised. “But I don’t have any CDs to put into it.”

You handed him the CDs you picked out, “These are also for you.” Hyuk looked at you with such a big smile, and got off the couch to give you the biggest hug ever.

“Thank you so much Y/N!” Hyuk exclaimed jumping up and down.

“Are we best friends now?” You asked Hyuk once he finally let go of you.

“Best friends forverer!” He exclaimed.

After that play date, your friendship with Hyuk blossomed. Almost everyday, he’d go to your house after school. He started talking to you more, he told you secrets, he told you everything about him.

Sixteen years of friendship later, and you couldn't be happier. Every moment you shared with Hyuk was something you’d never give up. You’ve watched him grow up into such a talented and successful man. You’ve watched his band grow, and you couldn’t be more proud of him.

He was also very happy you’ve been on the rode to success with him the whole time. You were the support he needed whenever he wanted to give up. He believed that your friendship was the strongest relationship he’ll have with anyone. You knew more about him than his own parents.

The thing is you both started growing feelings for each other, both afraid of ruining the bond you have, you kept your crushes a secret. Yet keeping those feelings hurt the both of you, Hyuk would go out dating girls that wasted his time and broke his heart. Expressing his feelings through his music, you never knew you were connected to a ton of his songs. You assumed that his feelings for you were no more than a friendship, and the songs he wrote were for the girls that broke his heart. You were jealous and torn, but you would never show that to him. He will only remain your best friend, there is no point in jeopardizing a 16 year friendship.

Every now and then, Hyuk will host a small get together with friends and other artist just to have a good time. In all honesty, many of these get togethers you cannot remember, and that was because you would chug one drink after another. You didn’t want to have any recollection of the night before, afraid that you’ll see something you didn’t want to see. You treasured this friendship way to much, and if that meant getting your heart broken then you’d have to deal. Although the drinking left you dead the morning after, this was how you handled your feelings, unhealthy but there was no other option.

Hyuk would also drink his heart away during these gatherings, it was quite a scene for people to see. Hyuk tends to be a more reserved person, but when he is drunk you’ll see a whole different side of him. A more open, and happy Hyuk appears while under the influence of alcohol. His intentions were the same as yours, not witnessing something that could hurt his heart. You are the only girl he loves, all his past relationships were away of suppressing his feelings. To see you fall in love with another man would kill him, if only you knew his feelings.

He thought falling in love with you was wrong, and to try to rid of these feelings he found himself in the bed of other girls, that he thought he could like. He found himself doing this more than often, and didn’t realize you were aware the whole time.

Group Chat with hyukie and 35 others

hyukie: party at my place @ 9 byob

hj: byob? lol no

inw00: ^^^ tf bro, u better supply us u think WE have the money

dongGUN: yeah hyuk, come one bro

hyukie: stfu b y o b, or ur not allowed in

inw00: then have a fun party by yourself :/

unknown number: lol i’ll bring stuff

unknown number: ^^

15 others agreed to byob, leaving Hyunjae, Inwoo, and Donggun to finally surrender.

You made a deal with yourself a few months ago, that if someone showed interest in you, you wouldn’t turn them away. Hyuk has no interest in you romantically, so it’s time to move on to someone who will show you the love you so desperately want.

The past couple parties Hyuk held, you found yourself conversing with this one man. His name was Sungwoo, a well known producer in the music industry and a fellow friend, and labelmate of Hyuk’s. He took you out on small dates, bringing you to his studio, to clothing shops, to places you’ve never known of. In the few months that he has known you, he has never once made a move on you physically, he wanted you to open up to him without any convincing. He was genuinely interested in you, and you welcomed all his flirtatious messages, his affectionate touches. He was handsome, and nothing but kind to you, the only thing that was stopping you from falling into the arms of this man, is Hyuk. This man makes you smile, he shows you love, a future with him would be great, you must push away these feelings towards Hyuk.

Throughout this night though, you found yourself talking about Hyuk, more than yourself. Sungwoo listened to your stories, he noticed how you smiled so wide when talking about your best friend. He learned the ins-and-outs of your friendship, he learned how much you loved this man. He thought that maybe he should stop his growing liking towards you, because you loved another. The other side of him thought that maybe you’d start feeling the same way about him, like you did with Hyuk. There was a small part of you that liked him, or you wouldn’t be touching each other so affectionately. He noticed your lustful stares, he noticed the ways you dressed differently for him, you enjoyed his attention, as he did yours. You’d happily take his hand in yours, there was no way you didn’t like him.

You were distracted from the conversation when you saw Hyuk whispering into a girls ear, and her giggling in response. They were touching in ways similar between you and Sungwoo. It hurt to watch, it hurt to realize that the man you love doesn’t love you back. You have to stop focusing your feelings on Hyuk, Sungwoo has showed you endless love, you don’t want him to think your using him to make you feel better.

“Y/N?” Sungwoo waved his hand in front of your face, trying to grab your attention. “You really like Hyuk that much?” He laughed sounding a bit hurt.

“No, no. Everything's fine, I was just caught off guard. Do you want to go somewhere more private?” You focused all your attention back to him. Why waste your feelings on Hyuk any longer, if the man right next to you reciprocated your feelings. Friendship is as far as your relationship will go with Hyuk, and you’ve finally accepted it.

You grabbed Sungwoo’s hand and brought him to the balcony outside. The cold air made it evident why everyone was inside, but it gave you privacy, and allowed you to focus on the man who truly likes you.

“You have been so patient with me, I’m sorry I have made you wait for so long till I could confess my feelings. You’re truly such a great person, without meeting you I think I would be lost. You’ve shown me endless care, and love, I’m so grateful for you.” You told him honestly, staring out to the illuminated city.

Noticing you shiver, Sungwoo wrapped his arms around you from behind. “You have nothing to apologize for.” He said. “I wanted to wait for you, I didn’t want to rush you into anything. Even if you didn’t want to be with me in the end, I would still want to be your friend. I don’t want you regretting anything.” Leaning into his embrace you realized you didn’t need anyone else’s love to be happy. You enjoyed this feeling, you enjoyed being in the arms of this man. The feelings you had for Hyuk were just a distraction to something better.

You turned around to face Sungwoo, he looked at you with an adoring face. If only you opened your eyes earlier, this man was so patient with you, so gentle, you were so oblivious. Standing on the balcony face to face, the feelings you pushed away for Sungwoo came at full force. Bringing your face closer to his, you placed your lips upon his. Sungwoo brought his hands to your face intensifying the kiss, a chill ran through your body, but it was no longer from the cold air.

It was the sound of the door opening that made you disconnect your lips, looking over Sungwoo’s shoulder, you were faced with your best friends heartbroken face.

“Oh,” was the only word that he could let escape his mouth. He waited too long to confess, his fear got the best of him. After witnessing you kissing another guy, he found himself broken.

Walking back inside, he grabbed the strongest drink he had, and drank it straight from the bottle. He didn’t bother with grabbing a cup, he wanted the alcohol to drain his feelings out.

The party was soon over, and you told Sungwoo your saying after to help clean up, and that you’d text him when you get home.

With a trash bag in your hand you helped Hyunjae collect the empty bottles, while Donggun and Inwoo put the trash in a separate bag. Hyuk appeared when the trash was cleaned up, he reeked of alcohol, his motor skills showed how drunk he was.

“Yoooo where’d everyone go?” He asked loudly. Stumbling towards you, he put his arm around your shoulder pulling you closer to his body. What’s up with him? You thought.

The three other boys looked at each other with concerned expressions, you weren’t drunk, far from it actually. The repeated scene that happens at every one of these parties, is about to happen in front of your eyes, and you’d remember it. They knew what Hyuk was about to do, and they’d finally get to see your true reaction.

“Why do you guys look so scared?” You said laughing, hulling Hyuk’s heavy body to the nearest couch. Plopping him down, you attempted to walk away but felt your body being pulled down to Hyuk’s.

“Y/N don’t leave me.” The drunk man said with a saddened tone. “Don’t leave me, please.”

Laughing awkwardly, you separated your body from Hyuk’s. “I’m right here, Hyukie, I’m not going anywhere.” You stood up trying to walk away, but you found yourself back on the couch, Hyuk pulled you down again.

“You don’t understand me, don’t leave me. Don’t leave me for another man. I saw you kiss Sungwoo,” he scowled at the mention of his name, “don’t be with him.”

“Why?” You asked angrily. He may be your best friend, but who is he to decide who you can and cannot date.

“Cause I love you...” Hyuk answered, the air around you tensed up, you were shocked. Hyunjae, Inwoo, and Donggun stood in the living room looking at the both of you, not sure what they should do at this moment.

The room was stricken with silence, until you finally spoke up. You thought you’d be happy to hear this sudden confession, but you were the complete opposite. “You love me. You love me? Then why Hyuk, why did you find the need to date other girls in front of me, sleep with other girls, confess to other girls the same thing you just said to me. Am I supposed to believe this?” The coldness in your voice made the men freeze.

“You think it was easy for me to accept that I’m in love with my best friend?” He questioned you back, with anger in his voice.

“Hyuk you think that if you truly liked me that much, you’d sleep around with others? Huh? I loved you, yet I didn’t fuck around with other guys, I didn’t whisper in their ears, I didn’t kiss their lips to confirm that I loved you. I loved you for a long time, you filled my thoughts constantly, and I thought you would never like me back if you introduced me to other girls, so I moved on. It took me months to move on, to accept the fact that I shouldn’t love my best friend, if we have the tightest relationship ever. Why ruin it? I found a guy who likes me, who waited for me, cause he knew I loved you.” You got up and walked to the door, this time he didn’t pull you back. “Oh Hyuk if you truly loved me you would’ve not fucked with my feelings like that, you would’ve not brought new people in to your life and use them. You’re a coward, and so am I. At least I had the decency to accept my feelings, and move on when I needed to.”

With that said you walked out the door, without giving him the chance to let another word come out his mouth.

“Love really can ruin a friendship.” You laughed to yourself walking back to your apartment. “He won’t remember this tomorrow, anyways.”

The next morning Hyuk woke up with dreadful headache, getting up to look in the mirror he noticed his eyes were swollen, and bloodshot.

“What the fuck happened last night?” He said to aloud to himself.

Pulling his phone out, the bright light shot pain through his head, he saw a text from you.

y/n: drink some water and take advil, dickhead.

hyuk: you’re too kind

y/n: if only you knew how far my kindness goes
