The streaming session of the KinnPorsche world tour I was participating in kinda fell off the rails during the English version of Why Don’t You Stay, which was very sad. Hopefully it turns out okay for the rest of it tomorrow.

My thoughts in no particular order:

Dang, Slot Machine is awesome and I should go look them up. (We amazed a random discord member who randomly wandered into the stream about Mile having previously been just a filthy wealthy dude that played the guitar)

Oh my goodness, Jeff!!! Said multiple times, by multiple people.

The VegasPete scene was chef’s kiss. Gonna wax dance show critic here but Bible has some amazing physicality and charisma. Like I’m pretty darn ace and I still can tell that he’s hot and does amazing work as Vegas. I’m in the middle of episode 10, so I haven’t fallen headlong for Pete/Build yet…but it’ll probably happen.

So highly amused that Barcode made up for the clothing deficit amongst everyone else singlehandedly. Pretty sure I missed the main brouhaha about the song he performed to, but nobody mentioned it was a cover of a Blackpink song! I love Blackpink!!!

The chat punched the air when Tay slapped Time. It’s possible to do polyamory ethically. Whatever Time’s deal is…isn’t it. On a sidenote: more Tay centric fics please.

I was highly amused that the mom got a sarong for her little thing with Chay/Barcode. The subtitles were on a horrendous delay, so I don’t actually know what all went on, but it’s cute that she was momming him.

As for the KimChay…I don’t quite see how that ending was horrible? Slightly more open ended than it could have been. But the flipside of forgetting the bad times is remembering the good ones. Obviously there were some good times or else Chay would not have been devastated by Kim’s betrayal. And…then there were technical difficulties and we had to stop the stream in the middle of Jeff’s performance. So that was lame. But Jeff did a good job before technology decided to pitch a hissy fit.

I concur with the person that said they hoped Jeff had gotten cleared to sing by a doctor. I’ve only listened to a few of his live performances and I could tell his range was a little rough. Don’t let them force you back into singing before your vocal cords have healed!!! That’d be awful if you permanently damaged them.

Anyway. Looking forward to the final half and all the Magic Mike bits.

I’d like to give Jackson Wang and whoever else is on his creative team congrats for having an excellent track record on music videos. I just watched the one for Cruel and my gosh that was neat. I like the through line of vapory lifeforce from Blow. That was cool.

My writing fingers might be slightly inspired…so who knows what’ll come.

Finished the second half of KPWT!!!! Once again in no particular order.

Would it have killed them to fix the subtitles before releasing the rerun tickets??? Like seriously, I thought youtube subs could be iffy, but these were…special. They could have held off on letting people do the rerun viewings long enough for them to fix the timing and the quality. Yeah, live subtitling is super labor intensive…but afterwards…you get to pause and rewind to make sure you’ve got it correctly.

Anyway. The Minor family thing was entertaining. I would probably strain something in my back if I had to do flips in the air. It’d be fun…but yeah…I’m not nearly as athletic as Bible.

Build playing the saxophone amused me to no end.

I’m excited for the MileApo flick and hopefully they plunk it on iqiyi or something so I can support BOC with my watching.

I’m very impressed at how many parents were there…because if mine were at such an event…I’d change my name and move to the Southern hemisphere.

I must give JJ’s arms and shoulders an honorable mention because he has obviously worked hard on them. I certainly would not want to get tackled by him.

I snickered when I saw how tall the heels on Jeff’s boots were during the final…clubbing moment…or whatever we are calling it. Finale of some sort. Anyway…Jeff is tiny and Barcode is definitely taller than him and I am delighted. I say this as if Jeff isn’t possibly taller than me by a couple inches. Crap. I’m gonna have to look that up. Anyway, Jeff is all the gender in a pint sized package. Except for where he’s still probably above average height.

Ahem. Lovely experience, would watch again if they fixed the subtitles.

Oh dear lord, if the infantilization of Apo that’s going on on twitter by some people also has a side of ableism…I will riot.

I haven’t exactly watched a lot of interviews with him but the ones I have watched screamed possible adhd. He could just be very energetic. But if he does have adhd…infantilizing the grown man is doubly aggravating.

Anyway, glad I don’t go searching for stuff on twitter.

My #1 post of 2022

I wish I remembered who wrote the fic with Kinn comparing his accent in English to Vegas’ and lamenting the fact that nobody was gonna send a second son to an international school and that’s why there’s a difference. Because it lives in my brain rent free and I wish I’d made a note of the fic.

I Can’t Handle You Being Back~Chou Tzuyu x black! fem! reader {2}

Parts: 1 2 3 4 5

Pairing: Tzuyu x reader

Summary: Your first night as a Twice member sought you connecting with the women you once knew as trainees. Well into the night, you bond a bit with your group members, even Tzuyu would it seems doesn’t want much to do with you anymore.

Genre: Angst, Idol-Verse, Romance, Slow Burn, Hurt and Comfort, Best Friends to Lovers

Warnings: none

Word Count: 2, 380

Writer’s Note: There’s interaction with Tzuyu in this chapter! If have any Twice, Blackpink, Red Velvet or Dreamcatcher requests just send me a message and I’ll try to get it done. Hope ya’ll enjoy!

Odd wasn’t the right word; it felt unknown falling back into a groove with them. The only member I kept in contact with was Nayeon and Sana, even then we didn’t talk much. It only went to check ins on how music was going, along with the occasional ‘miss you here in Korea’ or ‘working with this American artist right now.’ 

Being in the dorms feels weird. I’m supposed to be a member now,  I’m fortunate enough to have this opportunity again. (Even if this opportunity will potentially ruin my online presence; the Korean Netizens are still a handful.) That’s the least of my worries right now. Tzuyu’s blank stare continues to jumble up, down, left then right in my mind as I stare up the ceiling of me, Jeongyeon and Momo’s room. How the hell am I supposed to even fall into conversation with her? the rest of them? They were all my competition five years ago and I believed most of them to not like me. Of course it was the reason of being American, but also of being Black; a foreign trainee that quite literally stuck out from the others. From the welcome a few hours ago, they all seemed to remain fond of me (excluding Tzuyu, one that hurts the most). 

“Y/N?” 

I nearly fall from the bed at the presence of the few of my members: Jihyo and Jeongyeon stand in the doorway with huge hoodies and weary smiles aimed at me. 

“Hey guys,” I say with a grin. 

“Hey,” Jihyo says as she sits on the edge of the bed. “We just wanted to check up on you. You’ve been cooped up in here for hours.”  

Jeongyeon crossed her arms as she leans against the wall. 

“Are you OK?” she says. “We know that this is a huge shift for you.”

I nod and sit up to fully face them both. 

“It’s more than I shift,” I explain. “I thought my K-Pop career was over with that Sixteen elimination and--” I pause to keep the image of Tzuyu and Momo’s tear stained faces from their own eliminations; they’re both moments from the program. Just being in their presence again, after so much success and growth they’ve had is nerve wracking.   

Jihyo scoots closer and puts an arm around me. Jeongyeon steps over, kneels down in front of me and takes my hand. 

“Tell us what’s on your mind,” Jeongyeon says. 

“This a safe space,” Jihyo reassures. “We’re here to listen. All of us.”

I nod at her words, yet my mouth can’t help but spill words that should have been left unsaid. 

“What about Tzuyu? She hardly looked at me.” I say. 

Jihyo’s eyes softened; she squeezes me a bit tighter. 

“She’ll come around, trust me,” Jihyo says. 

Jeongyeon nodded sharply. 

“Are you hungry? The managers dropped us off some burgers if you’d like to eat with everyone,” Jeongyeon suggests. 

“Yeah,” Jihyo says. “We can catch up, it’s been so long.”

I agree with a hum, but I don’t attempt to get up when Jeongyeon and Jihyo do. 

“C’mon Y/N, please?” Jeongyeon asks. “You have to eat and we’re teammates now, everyone needs to know how you’re getting through this.”

 “You’re an idol now, Jihyo says. “And more importantly, a member of Twice. No matter how Tzuyu feels about the situation, you’re here and she has to accept that.”

I can’t help but giggle at Jihyo’s sense of authority; a perfect leader for Twice, it’s nice to hear that she sees me as a member, even though I’m still new to this. 

“C’mon can we go?” Jeongyeon groans. “I’m starving.” 

Jihyo rolls her eyes at Jeongyeon playfully before reaching for my hand. 

“Are you ready, Y/N?” 

My smile widens at Jihyo’s easygoing grin as she nudges me with her elbow and flutters her eyes. I take it; she erupts in a quick fit of giddiness and drags me out of my room, downstairs then into the living room where the other girls await. 

“Y/N!” Sana squeals. She shot up towards me, embracing me just as tight as she did eariler.

“Uh, hi Sana!” I say while noticing the Mcdonalds cup in her hand. 

Sana frowns as she sips. 

“You all right?” she asks. “I forgot you’re American and kind of weird about skinship.” 

“It’s ok, it’s just a little jarring,” I admit. “Being back here. You guys got Mcdonalds?” 

Chaeyoung nods, hops off the couch from her seat between Dahyun and Tzuyu to shift in the giant bag of greasy (yet not as much grease as America) goodies. 

“We haven’t really been studying a lot of American culture,” Chaeyoung explains. “But I do know that it’s complicated, especially with you being a Black American. So we opted with something simple, Mcdonalds!” 

“We didn’t really know what you usually ate there, so the managers ordered everything for you!” Nayeon declares as she threw an arm around my shoulders. 

My eyes scan through the various burgers/sandwiches, nugget boxes and an array of shakes; flavors range here in Korea, similar to how it is in other Mcdonalds across the globe. The gesture alone makes my chest warm, tears cling to the edge of my eyes but I stop them. They care; regardless what they thought about me five years ago, they still care about me. 

“Thank you guys, it means a lot,” I say. 

They all utter out a ‘you’re welcome’ in unison; Chaeyoung, Nayeon and Sana huddle toward me, pulling me in a mini group hug. Jihyo, Mina, Momo and Dahyun join soon after, squeezing me a little too tight. 

“C’mon guys, let the woman eat,” Jeongyeon mutters through a few fries as she grabs a six piece nugget for herself. 

As everyone plus away, I catch Tzuyu’s eyes from the couch. An instant but I got it: it wasn’t blank like before, rather wonder prior to her turning her attention back to the green tea shake she was consuming. I want to ask her a question, anything to hear her voice again but Jihyo’s words come back. She’ll accept it, no matter how she feels. I’m not sure how I completely feel about it though. Deep down I care about her feelings, hell she was the first person to build me up as an artist who could break international barriers. Even though they were teenagers then with over zealous dreams, it was nice to have some to dream big with (it meant more to bond with someone from another country and become so close). 

“Y/N?” Jihyo’s question breaks me from my thoughts.  

“Are you still jet lagged or something?” Mina teases as she nibbles on half of a cookie. 

“Huh? No, this is still a lot,” I say. “What was the question?” 

“I was just wondering if you wanted to binge a bunch of Disney movies with us?” Momo says. 

I giggle at how enthusiastic Momo is. 

“Would one of them happen to be Monsters Inc?” I ask.

Momo flushes, plays with her hands and glances down at the floor. 

“Maybe,” she mumbles. “How’d you know?” 

I’m the one that flusters this time: my chest grows hot as I scratch the back of my head. 

“I’ve kept up with you guys,” I say. “You have so many plushies from fansigns and your dog’s named Boo, like the character.” 

“You’ll meet him soon!” Nayeon coos. “He’s so adorable.”   

“You could have reached out more,” Sana says. “We could have invited you on tour and caught up sooner.” 

“Maybe I could have, but you know how weird Jinyoung can get,” I say. “I still can’t believe he granted me this opportunity. Ever since Sixteen I-” 

With my pause this time, all nine of them granting me a look of concern; Jihyo grasps my hand again and gives me a tiny grin.

“Take your time,” she whispers. “We have enough time to catch up.”

The others nod and give their own sympathetic looks, except Tzuyu; she keeps her attention to the ground, face clouded what I cannot assume at all. (A face as blank as it was earlier.) I decide to finish though. It’s like Jihyo said, I’m a part of this team now. 

“After Sixteen, I believed myself not to be talented enough,” I say. “It took me months to get out of my creative slump and write songs again. I guess my talent was there, or maybe I wasn’t at a decent level for JYP or Korea itself to accept a Black woman in K-Pop. I’m not even sure if they’re ready now.”

“They are OK,” Chaeyoung declares. “And if they aren’t, we’ll make them!”

I know Chaeyoung’s being supportive, yet I can’t help but giggle at how her cheeks puff out while she’s chewing on her chicken nugget. She’s so passionate that it’s cute.

“And if not, you aren’t alone Y/N,” Jihyo says as she softly nudges me. 

“Enough about dwelling on the past,” Jeongyeon says. “Let’s start watching some films!” 

“Which film should we start with, Y/N?” Momo asks. 

“Hm? I thought you wanted to start with Monster Inc Momoring?” Mina says. 

Momo shrugs with a growing smile and sunk down in the couch beside Tzuyu. 

“Y/N should choose, it’s all about making her feel comfortable. Right?” she says. 

I give her my best smile while I bite through the Big Mac, which I probably won’t be able to eat for awhile. 

“How’s Lion King sound?”

Everyone utters in agreement: they all grab more food and sweets before hopping to the couch to bunch in while Jihyo grabs the TV’s remote. I glance between the end of the couch, where most of the maknae’s are.This excludes Tzuyu, who’s seated in the middle of the couch, dodging Nayeon’s spoon as she tries to feed the maknae some of her ice cream.

“Y/N! Sit over here!” Sana shouts, solving my dilemma for good as she and Jeongyeon slide away from each other to make room for me in between them.

“Gosh, unnie I said no!” Tzuyu growls. 

I flinch along with Nayeon as Tzuyu rises and stomps up the stairs. 

“Nayeon,” Jihyo warns. “Now I have to go talk to her. Go on and start the movie without me.”    

She follows Tzuyu’s trail as Jeongyeon scolds Nayeon herself. 

“Told you to quiet messing with her,” she says. “Not all of us can take your insistent flirting.” 

Nayeon rolls her eyes. 

“She kept eyeing Sana’s milkshake I thought she wanted some of mine,” she explains. “I know she couldn’t take her eyes off of Y/N’s buns either.” 

Nayeon sends me a wink and I sink down deeper into the chair. 

“Nayeon, please not now,” I groan. 

Jihyo returns just as quickly, her face fixed tight in irritation. 

“She’s not coming back to watch movies with us,” she says. “Let’s just carry on.”

*            *           *

We’re halfway through Monster University, and I keep nodding off every now and then. I get a bit disoriented when Sully popped up, then Nemo--who knows how many films I slept through. 

“She’s so cute,” Sana coos. “She can rest her head on my shoulder if you want to switch unnie.”

Jeongyeon shakes her head as she pats my head and allows me to lay it back on her own shoulder.

“If you’re tired Y/N, you can go back to our room and sleep,” Jeongyeon whispers. “Momo and I won’t bother you, I promise.”

I sit up to stretch, noticing Tzuyu quickly grab something from the fridge and hurry back up the steps. Jihyo pinches the bridge of her nose, then sighs.

“Just let her be,” she says. “I can try talking to her later.”

I should listen to Jihyo, yet my body has a mind of it’s own. I’m on Tzuyu’s heels in an instant, grabbing her wrist in the next.  She freezes; I do the same. 

“T-Tzuyu, please. Can we talk?” I ask. 

Tzuyu turns to me. Her face isn’t blank, but carries a look of exhaustion. 

“How have you been?” I say, trying to start somewhere. 

“I’ve been better,” Tzuyu says as she continues up the steps and toward her bedroom. “You should sleep.” 

“I-I’m not tired.”

Tzuyu gives me an incredulous look. 

“Sana and Jeongyeon unnie are so loud,” she says. “You could barely get through a couple of films.” 

I flush at her words, at least she’s being somewhat emotional with me.

“I know Nayeon can be a bit much, but you could have stayed and watched--”

“Nayeon unnie was only part of the reason I left,” she says. “I needed my space and I still do.”  

“What’s the other reason?” 

Tzuyu’s face softens at the question.

“Y/N--”

“Is it me?” I say. “I had no idea that I--”

Tzuyu cut me off before I could finish, her face taunt in rage similar to how she reacted with Nayeon earlier. 

“Of course you have no idea!” she says. “You were one of the only friends I had back then, even when elimination was imminent, you promised me you would have stayed!”

Her words are like iron branding marks underneath my skin. She’s saying something now, but how can I make it right? What can I do to make sure that I don’t lie to her again. 

“I know Tzuyu but--”

“That’s the thing Y/N, you don’t know,” Tzuyu says. “It took me so long to get over you leaving. And now, I can’t seem to handle you being here again.” 

The iron presses deeper and deeper. My mouth closes. Maybe I should try again later, and honor her request. However, Jihyo’s words come fluttering back; we’re a team and if Tzuyu has a problem, we have to deal with it. Talk it out like partners should. I flush a bit at the word. Tzuyu and I dreamed of being more than partners, it’s now a distant memory due to how resentful she feels. 

“Well, I’m not over you Tzuyu,” I say. “I’ll leave you alone for now, but just know that I never got over you. You still mean at lot to me.”

Tzuyu stands still for a moment, face still taunt in anger but it changes, and softens. I would have stayed to see it, but I honor her request and walk back to my room.

Living Life Through A Lens: Chapter Three

Chapter 3: YG Entertainment

Word Count: 4.4K

Warnings: None

[8:00 AM KST]

           The ride on the way to your meeting was a peaceful one in comparison to your ride to work back home. The difference being that you were now driven to work and that everything was quieter. There was rarely any honking and even the hustle and bustle of people on their daily commutes was barely audible.

Soon enough you arrived at YG Entertainment headquarters. The building was modern in style, very monotone with lots of glass windows. To you it looked like a gigantic version of a computer tower. A computer tower that just happened to be made of concrete, steel and glass. Parked under the building were a collection of black and silver vans. Just before pulling into the lot you see a billboard that had a picture of Blackpink, it read “BLINKS DEMAND FOR BLACKPINK.” You smiled and thought, I’ll give you the content you're waiting for Blinks, just you wait. Apart from the billboard you notice a large group of people with signs and various other banners gathered at the company gate. When the car slows you get a chance to look at their signs, you were shocked as some of them had your face on it causing you to chuckle. How did they find me…? Right you did an Instagram live yesterday.

As soon as you and Lex get out of the car you're met with three new bodyguards, Scott and a woman who introduced herself as YG’s assistant. Before heading into the building, you made your way to go meet the fans standing at the company gate but were instantly stopped by YG’s set of bodyguards. With a confused look on your face, “am I not allowed to greet them? They came here for me…”

The guards said nothing but instead looked to the assistant and waited for her to tell you why they had stopped you. “I’m sure you're well aware of the risks that comes with meeting your supporters but because of the lack of security and strict YG protocol we cannot allow you to meet them.”

“They would never hurt me. If I stand a few feet away could I at least just say hello?” you ask.

She didn’t say anything and that alone told you it was a no. Feeling sad and guilty you look back to see them waving at you with their big signs and smiles. You wave back with just as much enthusiasm and very slowly make your way into the building.

Walking into the building you're brought to a reception desk where immediately you are given a warm welcome and a badge with your name on it. Before making your way to the elevators you pass by the famous YG cafeteria, you wouldn’t have noticed if it weren’t for the black-wall waterfall you’ve seen during one of Blackpink’s vlives. The elevator dings signaling its arrival. Playing With Fire is playing in the elevator and to break the tension you ask, “I like this song! Anyone know who sings it?” Everyone in the elevator laughs, even YG’s bodyguards.

Getting out of the elevator you and your team are seated in a conference room and are told that YG would be there soon. Spinning around in your chair you look for a distraction, as a reflex you look at your phone and notice more missed calls and text messages. With an achy feeling you put your phone faced down on the conference table in front of you. Through the glass panes of the conference room you notice a group of people making their way toward the conference room doors. You look closely and see that it was YG, and he was surrounded by not one, not two, not three but four people. He had an intimidating aura around him which only made you more nervous. Blackpink, however nowhere in sight.

YG and his team walk in and immediately you're on your feet, feeling lightheaded with how fast you stood up. Nervously, you bow forward and greet him, “hello. It’s nice to finally meet you.”

“Hello, Y/N is it? How are you enjoying South Korea so far?” YG asks as he goes in for a hug.

Hugging him awkwardly and then pulling away, “that’s me! How did you know? And yes, the people here have been so kind. And the food­– don’t get me started on the food.”

“I have to admit that I’ve searched you up on the internet. I must say the photos don’t do you justice, you're much prettier in person.” He says confidently.

Before you could tell him thank you, an even larger group makes their way into the room. It was only a few seconds, but everything was in slow motion, everyone in the room turns to look and see that it’s the members of Blackpink along with their managers. Your jaw hung open at what was currently in front of you. Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa all entered the room and now stood before you.

Each of them went straight in for a hug and greeted you a hello. It was barely audible as you were still shell shocked. Without thinking you say, “oh my gosh, this only happens in my dreams.” The room erupts in laughter.

After hugging each member and greeting their managers, YG sits down to start the meeting. YG was seated at the head of the conference table, his assistant and translator on his immediate left, followed by Scott, you and Lex. On his right sat another translator, Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and then Lisa. On the other head of the table was a large TV screen and camera. A confused look on your face was noticed by Lex. As if answering the question in your head, she whispers “Ethan wanted to be included in the meeting last minute,” you nod in response.

The people at YG had technical difficulties trying to connect with Ethan, so while you were waiting you found yourself glancing over in the girls’ direction. Sometimes making eye contact and when you did you blushed and quickly spun your chair around to avoid their gaze, gaining a laugh from each of them every time you did it. When Ethan finally popped up on screen only then did you feel less nervous. Ethan was a smooth talker and good negotiator, so with him included in the meeting meant less time for you to talk. Or so you thought.

The meeting started with the formal introductions, everyone around the table said their name and their role in their respective companies. After that was over, Ethan and YG each took their turns discussing the business aspect behind the deal and each company’s expectations. You already knew what was expected of you so instead of listening you found yourself sneaking quick glances at the girls. Pinching yourself in the same spot until it turned red; your mind was still unable to process that this was real life. Suddenly you felt a nudge under the table from Lex, looking up you realized that everyone’s eyes were on you awaiting an answer.

Looking at the members in front of you blurt out, “sorry they’re so pretty its distracting,” immediately causing the members to blush and laugh amongst themselves.

Jisoo chuckles and speaks for the first time and though it’s in Korean the translator next to her looks to you and says, “Jisoo says for you to wait until you get to know each of the members, only then will you realize they’re not so charming.” In retaliation, Jennie and the other members playfully punch Jisoo’s shoulder. They will be the death of me, you thought to yourself.

The meeting continues and you explain how you’ve decided to film Blackpink’s upcoming documentary. Nervously looking around the room you start, “I hope you’ll forgive me for being so nervous, if I’m honest I am still shocked that we get to work together. It truly is a dream. But if you look to the information packet that my company has chosen to provide us for this meeting, you’ll see all my research and plans to make this documentary a successful one. It starts off with just the quick basic biography on me. What’s important in here is that my shooting and editing style are unique to me. It’s how I’ve always worked, and I don’t see it changing anytime soon. The next bit in this packet explains how I’m choosing to produce the film in its entirety.”

While holding up and pointing to the page you're referring to you continue, “it’s really simple. I have a small crew that works with me, I film. I have a sound person. I have someone looking at the monitor to make sure my shots are okay. Very small and intimate. As for how the film will be made, it happens in four phases. The first phase, there’s really no work done here other than us­– and by us I mean myself, Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa getting to know each other. This phase is a bit unorthodox in that it doesn’t really happen with other documentaries. I choose to include it as it takes away a lot of the awkwardness when it comes to filming. The more we know of each other, the easier it is on me as I learn the boundaries; what to film and what not to film etc. The second phase is the easy part, you go on about your schedules and I follow you around with the camera. On occasion we’ll have a few sit-down interviews here and there but that’s all. The third phase is just editing and then the fourth and final phase is the premiere–” you stop and notice that Jennie was looking at you oddly. You couldn’t quite tell what her expression was. Was it admiration? Interest? Confusion? Whatever it was caused you stop in your tracks.

Giving her a quick smile and to close the sudden silence you asked her shyly, “w-was there something you wanted me to go over?”

Jennie hesitated. “Me? - sorry was I staring? No, please continue.” Smiling and using her hands to also gesture you continue.

You continued with the rest of the information in the packet, and still in the corner of your eye you could see Jennie looking at you with the same look and occasional smile. Once what seemed like hours but in reality was only 45 minutes, you got through everything you needed. All that was left for the day was the major press event with Korea’s media and a few international networks. The event was to be held in a large auditorium where you and the members would be seated on a panel and would be asked questions regarding your partnership.

[1:30 PM KST]

Before the press event everyone in the meeting was encouraged to grab a quick meal at the company cafeteria. You all made your way down and after grabbing tea and a portion of fruit you sat down at one of the tables. Lex and Scott were both making conversation with some of the staff which was a blessing in disguise because you just wanted to eat in peace. Wanting to calm your nerves you took a sip of your tea and wondered what the press would ask. Would they stick to the details of the documentary? Would they venture into your personal life? Your breakup had now become public, so much so that your company had to make a statement:

“It is true that Y/N and one of our company lawyers have ended their seven year-long relationship, and although we would have wished for this matter to remain private it has become such a spectacle that we are forced to confirm this news. They both have said they’re focused on their current projects and wish that the public refrain from asking questions about their break-up.

Thank You, Universal Film and Entertainment.”

When the you first read the statement it made you angry, you argued that the statement would only fan the flames and that you wanted it to be handled privately. You wanted whoever made the news public to have their head on a pike. Before you could let yourself get mad again you felt someone sit next to you.

It was Lisa and soon enough she was followed by Rosé who sat on the other side of you. Not wanting to talk with food in your mouth you turn to each of them and smile, covering your mouth as you do. Jisoo and Jennie sat across from you and each of their plates were filled with a variety of breakfast food.

Lisa starts off the conversation, “so Y/N? How do I pronounce your name correctly?” She said it correctly, but to confirm you sounded out your name slowly going over each syllable.

As if she could feel you tense up Rosé spoke softly, “Y/N, I hope we don’t make you nervous. I know we only just met, but please treat us as your friends. In fact, treat us as you would if we’ve known each other for a long time.”

“I’ll try my best but naturally I’m timid and shy. It will take me awhile, but I hope that we become great friends and co-workers.” You say with a smile.

Jennie spoke next, “Y/N. What do you like to do in your free time? After this we have no schedules for the rest of the day so let’s do something that you like to do. Are you okay with that?”

Feeling a bit more comfortable you reply, “mmm… I’m really not all that interesting but I wanted to get to know the area around my apartment as I’m going to be living here for the next year. But besides that, I would like to eat and go shopping.”

They all laugh and each of them go on to talk about the shops they want to take you to. Soon enough, Lisa and Rosé start to argue about where to take you first. You reassure them that you have lots of time and would be able to visit them all. They really are how they seem on Blackpink House. While Jisoo was occupied with one of her managers and Lisa and Rosé still arguing, Jennie looks up at you and smiles.

“Is this all too much?” she asks. How does she know exactly how you feel? Was it the look on your face? You thought you hid it well.

“It was in the beginning, but I can feel myself warming up. Slowly. You guys really remind me of my friends back home if I–” but before you could say more Scott comes and tells you guys that it’s time for the press event.

[2:30 PM KST]

The press event was well underway, it had started with a few photos of you and the members of Blackpink in front of a large backdrop that had all your faces on it followed by introductions. You sat in the middle while Jennie and Jisoo were on your right, and Lisa and Rosé on your left. Pulling your mic closer to your body and fixing the earpiece that would translate the medias questions to English you waited patiently for the spokesperson to pick a person to ask you a question.

The first question was easy, “Y/N. In a previous statement you’ve said that this documentary will be different and will surely be successful. Could you please elaborate?”

“This documentary will be different in that it won’t be a regular two- and half-hour film. I have decided to film a docuseries instead. Each member will have their own respective episode followed by a final episode, which will be a movie length long, focusing on Blackpink collectively as one unit. As for the success of this I am quite confident. Blackpink’s fanbase, or should I say Blinks- are a fandom second to none. The support they show is unbelievable. Unlike any I have seen so far. Plus, because YG has confirmed their comeback scheduled in four months I hope to provide a behind-the-scenes look at the hard work they put into it, which is content I am sure Blinks will enjoy.”

The second question was for the girls and how excited they were to be getting their first official documentary. As an unofficial leader you found Jisoo pulling her mic closer toward her. Through the earpiece, it was a rough translation but in short, she said that they were excited and ready to show a different side to Blackpink in comparison to what they have shown in the past. Jisoo also said that she and her members already felt like you guys were already great friends and that the they hope the documentary will do well. It took a while for it all to come through the earpiece but when it was over you looked over and smiled at Jisoo and surprisingly she took your hand and gave it light squeeze while also returning a smile. Further in the distance you see Jennie’s eyes make their way to you and Jisoo holding hands, making eye contact with her you gave her a polite nod too.

It was about the tenth question in and you were hoping it’d be the last. However, this particular reporter who was chosen had a press badge with the large letters reading ET on the front. Dang it, Entertainment Tonight. This company always caused you great headaches. They were constantly prying into your personal life enough so that you had warned them multiple times in the past, which didn’t stop them of course. So, you sat there bracing yourself for impact.

“This question is for Y/N. Your recent breakup with high profile Universal lawyer Irene has recently made headlines. How has this affected your work, in terms of being able to get along and work through this documentary?” They really aren’t shy with their questions, are they? It takes everything in you to answer the question professionally, but you still have a hard time trying to answer anyway.

Looking down while fumbling with your fingers you begin, “uh- uhm. I- I mean we­­–” you look around for Scott for some help but instead you hear some fumbling and Jennie has her mic in her hands. Very quickly she’s able to shift the attention back to the documentary and away from you. Disappointed with your inability to answer the question you look down at your fingers fidgeting under the table. You feel Lisa’s hand grab a hold of yours while also feeling a light squeeze. Her doe-brown eyes meet yours and she mouths “it’s okay,” her mouth forming into a warm smile. You mouth a quick “thank you,” which goes unnoticed by the media as they are distracted with Jennie still. Lisa let go eventually, but from time to time for the rest of the event she would put her hand on your leg to encourage you.

The press event was finally over and you could slowly feel yourself relax again. The crushing feeling in your chest dissipated as you felt Lisa and Jennie link their arms with yours as you made it off the stage.

“I just wanted to say thank you again. I should have been more prepared.” You say shyly.

Jennie responds, “don’t even mention it. It shouldn’t happen but it does happen to the best of us.” You look up and finally see Lex and Scott typing away furiously on their phone. Oh man they must be furious. Although it was never mentioned, it was assumed that the questions asked at the press event were strictly supposed to be focused on the project, nothing personal. You unlink arms with the girls and give them both a polite nod before running toward Scott and Lex for a hug.

While still in a hug Scott rubs your back and says, “Oh my gosh Y/N. I am so sorry. I had no idea that they would be here let alone ask you that question. I am so sorry for not preparing you ahead of time. I’m trying to find our contact with ET. I’ll get this fixed in no time.”

It wasn’t okay, you were blindsided but to make Scott and Lex both feel better you told them that it was okay, and you were thankful for what Jennie did for you. You turn around and the members are standing off to the side with their managers. Jennie’s eyes are lasered in on Scott and Lex, when you she takes notice of you staring back at her she looks at you and smiles.

[4:30 PM KST]

Your team was too angry about what happened to go with you and the girls to dinner, they wanted to kill whoever was responsible at ET. Before you parted ways with them Lex pulled you aside and apologized again, she told you that she would meet you back at your apartment as she wanted to set a few things up for you at your new apartment as an apology. After telling her it wasn’t her fault for what seemed like the millionth time, you hugged her goodbye and made your way to Blackpink’s company van. You were going to ride with them to the restaurant while Scott and Lex took your van to the hotel and apartment. Turning back, you made sure Scott and Lex were safely settled in the van; this would be the last time you saw Scott in person as he would be travelling back home to get back to work. Where I would I be without you guys, you thought to yourself.

“Y/N! Are you coming?” Rosé says as she pops her head out from the van. Quickly you spun around and made your way to the van.

On the way to the restaurant you found yourself still in awe of South Korea. Everything was still so new and refreshing for you. The girls on the other hand couldn’t care less, their eyes were glued to their phones. Before you knew it, you arrived at the restaurant. It was a small mom and pop shop and you could feel your stomach grumbling on the way in.

You sat down in the booth and noticed Jennie sat immediately on your right. Lisa and Rosé both ran for the spot on your left, Rosé won, and you laughed.

“Nobody wants to sit next to me?” Jisoo asked in a pitiful tone.

“I’ll sit next to you unnie,” Lisa said as she sighed. This caused Jisoo hit Lisa in the left shoulder; she had said something to the effect of “why do you sound so disappointed” in Korean. You only understood as Rosé translated it for you.

After ordering, you thought of what you talk about with the girls. You remembered you wanted to make a few things clear before you started filming. You started, “hey I just wanted to say a few things that I couldn’t earlier.”

The girls immediately focused in on you making you a little nervous.

“I didn’t want to say it earlier in front of all the businesspeople at the meeting this morning, because frankly their job is to look at the numbers and make sure that this partnership does well on both ends. All they care about is the profits and margins, and there’s nothing wrong with that but– I guess what I’m trying to say is that before I am a director, editor, or whatever occupation I hold, I want to be your friend and someone you can trust first and foremost. So, if there is anything– and I mean anything that I catch on film or you don’t want filmed, just let me know you aren’t comfortable with it and I will delete it. I don’t believe in creating drama for views despite what our agencies might ask of us, so if you want something deleted, it’s gone. No questions asked.”

It was silent for a moment, but each of them expressed their gratitude for your honesty. They opened up about their experience in the industry thus far. You guys talked about how rare it was to just have genuine friendships, and that it was tiring trying to decipher who was real and who wasn’t. Being able to have this in common and bond over it made you all feel so much closer. The whole night wasn’t all serious though, you found yourself laughing and cracking jokes as if you guys had been friends for years.

While Jisoo was caught playing referee for an argument between Lisa and Rosé, you took this time as a chance to talk to Jennie. You didn’t have to get her attention as she was already looking at you. She was always looking at you. Why? You figured you would ask. What could go wrong?

Smiling and laughing as you ask her “why are you always looking at me?”

She laughs too, “Do I have to have a reason to?”

“I mean no, but it makes me nervous when you do.”

Teasingly she inches closer to you, so close that you could see her individual eyelashes. “Are you saying…I make you nervous Y/N?”

You push her away and out of breath you say, “yes. Very nervous.”

“Good,” she replies and goes back to eating her food. What is with this girl? Was she flirting as a joke? Should you flirt back?

The rest of the evening you guys talked for hours, so much so that the owners had to come by your table and say it was closing time. With all of you stuffed to the brim with food, it silent on the drive to your apartment. The girls were falling asleep and so were you.

After pulling into the driveway under of your apartment you said goodbye to each of the girls. You gave all the members a hug before exiting the van and while hugging Jisoo you notice a familiar figure waiting at the doors of your apartment building through the window of the van. The figure turns around and you see it’s Irene.

In Conversation with KNK, a South Korean Idol Group

KNK, a South Korean idol group, first saw the light of day in 2016 when they debuted on the domestic market. They relatively quickly made a name for themselves with their mature and serious looks, music and gentlemen attires. In 2017, a huge crowd welcomed their performance at the Feel Korea concert in London and even then, KNK showed potential to stand the test of time as long as they kept their future performances at the same level.

After the departure of You-jin, an immense vocal talent, the group welcomed Dong-won, a rapper who added his own charm to KNK; the group now consists of him, Ji-hun, In-song, Seo-ham, and Hee-jun. After successful performances in the US, KNK are now about to embark on their 1st European Tour called Sunrise, which will include 6 cities: Berlin, Warsaw, London, Lisbon, Madrid and Paris. KNK will play the O2 Academy Islington in London on August 18th. Tickets are now available to purchase via Ticketmaster and Ticketweb.

Ahead of KNK’s European Tour Sunrise, we caught up with the group and chatted about K-pop, their newest release KNK S/S Collection and life in general.

2016 was the year you officially debuted. Prior to your debut, you obviously trained to enter music industry, but was it your dream to become a part of a boy group?

Ji-hun: Yes. I wanted to become a ballad singer when I was a student, but afterwards I became determined to be a dancer as well as a singer.

In-seong: Yes. I am so happy to make my dream come true.

Seoham: Yes. As I started practicing as a trainee, I really wanted to debut as a singer, so I practiced hard to achieve my dream.

Dong-won: As you know, I became a new member of KNK in 2019. I always had a dream in my heart of becoming a singer, since I was a student, but I didn’t have any chance to do it, so I was in fact preparing to become an actor. Fortunately, thanks to KNK members who called me to be a part of the group, I was able to make my debut as a singer.

Hee-jun: Actually, I wanted to be a football player.

Your most recent album [KNK S/S COLLECTION] was just released. What was the creative process behind it and – as your lyrics are in Korean – would you mind telling our readers which themes your songs represent the most?

Ji-hun: This time, we tried for new sounds – compared to our previous songs – and we will keep working hard to make good songs in the future.

In-seong: For our new album, we tried for a dynamic and exciting concept which is reflected in the music. When you listen to it, it’s like being in a fashion show.

Seoham: Visually, it’s a new concept that we hadn’t tried before: KNK members as fashion models. The lyrics, however, tell the story of a man in love.

Hee-jun: Also, we wanted to express love and melancholy through the colours used in the music video – like the feelings you have when someone leaves.

What were your feelings when preparing for this video (SUNSET)?

Ji-hun: In my case, when we were preparing the video for SUNSET, I just wanted to show it to our fans as soon as possible.

In-seong: I remember that although the group dance scene was very hard this time, the on-site atmosphere was really good.

Seoham: The shoot itself was very difficult because there are several scenes that include all of us dancing at the same time, but the shooting session was different from the ones we had done in the past, so it was a lot of fun.

Dong-won: The shooting of my personal scenes took longer than expected, so it was very burdensome at first, but I think I did well. I am getting used to the hard choreographies by now.

Hee-jun: It was exciting because we were able to show different styles of KNK.

Your image comes across as a very mature one, including your music. Are there any other concepts, or certain music, you would like to try out with your future releases?

Ji-hun: I love songs that feature dancing and complex choreographies; however, given the chance, I would like to sing lyrical and moody songs.

In-seong: Vampire concept!

Seoham: I would like to keep exploring trendy music styles like SUNSET since it features a new concept for KNK. Summer-like songs would be great as well!

Dong-won: If I must choose, I want to try hip-hop. Even though I’m not confident enough about my skills just yet, it would be great to try! Also, bright and refreshing music!

Hee-jun: More than trying new concepts or styles, I would like to keep promoting KNK and become the world’s favourite artists!

Is there music you like, which never fails to make you feel good? Who really inspires you as an artist?

Ji-hun: I’ve been listening to Night That Reminds of You by 20 Years of Age a lot lately.

In-seong: Since I’m a singer, I was inspired by VIXX and TVXQ.

Seoham: KARD is the best! Listening to their music gives me energy!

Dong-won: I really like rapper PH-1! He is famous not only as a rapper but as a singer as well. I’ve been listening to him a lot these days.

Hee-jun: I would say that one of the artists who inspires me the most is Coldplay.

What’s the hardest thing about being in a group? As there are five members, there are also five different personalities. How do you make it work as a team?

Ji-hun: Probably, the hardest thing about being in a group like KNK is the choreographies. As we mentioned before, they are very complex and physically demanding. Luckily, since we have very similar personalities, we can get along and overcome the tough moments.

In-seong: I think the most important aspect to consider in order to make a group like KNK work is the understanding of each other’s points of views and personalities.

Seoham: Personally I think there are no difficult moments because being together with all the other members is fun and because we support each other every single day. So, everything works just fine!

Dong-won: Since I am the new member in the group it seems natural to feel lost at times, especially among members who already have quite an impressive teamwork skill. Fortunately, the guys took good care of me as a new member, so I think I was able to get used to KNK’s pace quickly.

Hee-jun: [Referring to Dong-won’s previous answer] I think it’s because we have the same dream as KNK members.

When you are not working, what do you do to get away from it all and relax?

Ji-hun: I really like watching YouTube videos when I have some spare time. I can just spend my day with something to eat and YouTube!!!

In-seong: I usually go fishing. I like games, too!

Seoham: Rather than going out, I prefer to stay at home and have a good rest. There, I enjoy eating delicious food.

Dong-won: My favourite hobby is fishing! Since In-seong also likes it, as he mentioned previously, we go fishing together. In fact, it is not only a hobby, but a way to heal and relax.

Hee-jun: If I’m not sleeping during my free time, I try to do some activities to keep my body active. Just like football or working out.

Which would be your dream collaboration, if you could choose any singer or a group?

Ji-hun: I would love to collaborate with 20 Years of Age and sing a track like Night That Reminds of You.

In-seong: A duet with Jooheon of MONSTA X!

Seoham: KARD!!

Dong-won: I would like to collaborate with PH-1, that’s why he is on my playlist nowadays!

Hee-jun: It would be great to work with Coldplay and Camilla Cabello. I really like them!

K-Pop is huge nowadays, and with various groups (BTS, EXO, BlackPink etc.) pushing through into the foreign markets, how do you feel about your own career abroad?

Ji-hun: I’m so excited about the positioning of K-pop in foreign markets nowadays. Just like BTS, EXO and BlackPink, we want to keep working hard in order to become a popular group everywhere.

In-seong: Me too, I’m so excited. Having the opportunity to meet our Tinkerbells [KNK fandom name] when touring abroad is a great experience. We really want to meet all of our fans in Europe during the next tour.

Seoham: I’ve always wanted to visit different countries. My dream is to have as many concerts as possible and meet more fans all over the world.

Dong-won: I’m so grateful to the fans who are welcoming us from all around the world. We’re always excited when we go on tour overseas. I would like to go to even more cities and meet our fans.

Hee-jun: Since our senior colleagues [referring to more experienced K-pop acts] paved the way for us, we’ll do our best to meet fans expectations wherever we can go!

What’s next for you as a group?

Ji-hun: We will keep working hard to strengthen our music style. Personally, I would like to improve my singing skills in order to become a popular singer not only in Korea, but around the world!

Seoham: What’s ahead of us is an active promotion of our most recent single SUNSET. Also, we are preparing for our upcoming European tour which will start very soon. Right after that, we should start working on our next album.

Dong-won: What’s next for KNK? We will stick together as a group making songs that our fans will love. Many more concerts and why not – perhaps we’ll get the 1st place on one of the Korean music shows. I want to be with the other KNK members and do the music that our fans want. Also, I would love to win the first place on music shows and want to have concerts often!

In-seong: 1st place!

Hee-jun: I want to let everyone know about KNK and I hope people get impressed by our music.

BLACK souls, PINK lips

A blackpink hunter!au

//

|| Lisa Manoban ||

The rag was damp in your hand as you grabbed the last shotglass and proceeded to wipe it dry before placing it in the stack under the counter. It was late at night and the bar held it's casual, calm atmosphere, with the thick smell of cigarette smoke lingering in the air and the melody of a classic jazz song faintly playing in the background of the few costumers' conversations.

You leaned on the wooden countertop lazily, eyes lost in the translucent brown hue of whiskey whirling in your glass. A ringing sound caught your attention, turning your head to the door which was pushed closed by a thin girl in camo pants.

Her blonde hair draped over her shoulders like long strings of gold, fluttering side to side as she made her way to take a seat on a red leather stool in front of the bar. A huff of disappointment escaped her lips and you noticed her frown with an understanding glare.

"I'll take it from the look on your face that it didn't go that well, huh?" You said and watched Lisa shaking her head in agreement and grabbing your glass to take a huge gulp, a satisfying burning sensation blooming inside her chest.

"He ran off." She spat the sentence with a bitter tone, her eyes not baring to lock with yours, keeping them focused on the bottles of alcohol lining the shelves behind you.

It wasn't the first time that had happened, the first time to fail a case, but she should've learnt to accept that failure is a part of the job.

Your voice was soft as you took your friend's hand in yours, rubbing soothing circles. "It's okay Lisa, we'll find him again. A beast like him can't hide for long."

The troubled expression didn't leave her face. "I know y/n but...It's only a werewolf. I cant be that useless to not be able to take down a werewolf. After all these years of training... After all these cases." Her eyes finally looked up to you, glassy from new formed tears that she held back with great will. Her voice was shaky and hoarse, you could tell she had been yelling before. "I can't do this anymore." And with that she downed the rest of the whiskey, setting the glass down loudly.

All you could do was let out a sniker, to which she frowned even more so than before. "And I can't believe the words coming out of your mouth right now." She couldn't be that oblivious to her skills. "You know you're one of the best hunters to ever walk inside this bar and you know your team is counting on you."

She didn't even flinch listening at you, only lowered her gaze to the empty glass. "They don't need me." She said after a few silent moments, voice filled with shame. "Last time we were on a hunt they found the ghoul all on their own, I felt like I was there as an extra. And you know what?" Lisa took a deep breath, shaking her head. "I think they'd do better without me. Without Jennie having to save my ass from a vampire or Rosé carrying me after getting shot like an amateur. I'm just holding them back y/n."

Frustration was flushing over you hearing her and you leaned closer, propping your palms on the counter. "What are you saying? Are you even listening to your self? Lisa, you've completed so many cases, both on your own and with the girls, I don't understand why you're acting this way. You were the best in training, remember?" A comforting tone coated your words but she simply hid her face in her hands.

"I've lost what I had back then." was her only reply.

You reached out to rub her arm, while trying to find the right thing to say to make her see what you and the other girls do. Lisa was the lead in most cases, she was the one to set up the plan along with Jisoo and she always managed to get them out of trouble. A true ace in shooting and martial arts and the one to deliver the final hit when things got physical. She was willing to walk straight through fire to save someone, never afraid of anything, never hesitant. She was the bravest, most fearless and selfless person you know but above all, one of the best hunters.

"Lisa...Please, stop thinking like this for yourself. You were and always will be on top at what you're doing. You haven't lost anything, you've even improved so much."

The girl looked at you and sighed. "Can you fill this up?" She said wiggling the glass in her hands without commenting anything else on the matter.

You snatched it from her, lips pressed together in frustration, and poured from a bottle of Johnny Walker behind you. You slid it over the counter and she drank silently. Your eyes turned to the last couple of costumers getting up from their seats across the bar, two tall men wearing leather jackets. One of them, whose neck was inked up to the ear, nodded at you and you returned the gesture with a fake smirk, as your mind was too caught up with Lisa's situation.

Her eyes were still watering and you could tell she was still thinking, mentally blaming herself for everything that has gone wrong in the case. The only sound to break the silence was the music coming from a speaker in the far back of the room, too low to make the awkwardness between you two fade.

"Go get in the car and wait for me." You said after a few quiet moments, grabbing the rag to hastily swipe it over the counter.

Her eyes shot up to you. "What? Why?" You grinned and grabbed a mop, swiftly walking around the counter to start cleaning the floor in a hurry.

“We're going after that werewolf." Lisa jumped from the high stool, her black coat flowing around her.

"What do you mean 'we'? You're coming on a hunt?" You nodded and her face lit up. "But you haven't worked on a case in years."

To that your grin got wider. "Then let's see if I've gotten rusty." You winked and observed a smile creeping up to her lips, her teeth shining like white pearls. "Go start the engine while I close." You said and Lisa strolled across the bar, taking her car's keys out of her pocket and jiggling them in her fingers.

She walked out and you heard a loud roar before taking your purse from behind the counter and shutting the lights, sinking the old jazz bar in darkness.

And a feeling of adrenaline and excitement washed over your at the sight of a black 97' Jaguar, Lisa behind the wheel. You rode it every night after work, but tonight you knew you weren't going home this time and your body longed to feel the adventurous feeling of hunting, of searching and taking down all kinds of supernatural creatures and making the world a little safer every night.

YG 보석함 (Treasure Box)

I have been following the YG Debut project and have some thoughts and was wondering if anyone else felt the same way as I do. WARNING: LONG AND SPOILERS, also excuse any errors, I just wanted to get then rant out of the way, and maybe share it.

There will be spoilers if you have not yet watched all of the episodes that are out as of today 1/1/19. I also know that there will be people that disagree, I would love to know your opinions on the show as well, and maybe you could change my mind on some things. 

I do not bring up any trainees in specifics because I do not want to critisize them individually because I am not a professional. I may be wrong about my opinions and the producers of the show and YG as a company most likely know better than I do in some instances. 

First off I think that so far with how they have been chosing those to be in the Treasure 7 (or 6 or whatever amount YG wants), they haven’t really been chosing them in a fair way. The first time they created the Treasure 7, He just chose the best like two or three from each team. But, I feel as though there were some trainees on different teams that were better than those who were chosen on some of the other teams. (Ex. Someone from Treasure E gets chosen, however there was someone better than them in Treasure D. I am using teams that do not exist to make an example, I know). So therefore there was some talent that was missed out on.

Then when those who were chosen to challenge the Treasure 7, were only chosen based on talent or charm that had nothing to do with actual singing, rapping, or dancing. These were the ones that were chosen by Blackpink (nothing against them tho, I love them, they just followed what the producers of the show told them).

Another thing that I have an opinion on is the Treasure C team. I love them, but I feel as though some of them are not yet at an age where they should debut. If YG wants to use their resources correctly, then he should debut the older ones and then the younger ones, then he can have more groups, more fans, and ultimately, more money (because that is what entertainment companies are created for, music and money). But there are the older trainees that have been training for years and are obviously ready for debut. I love the younger ones, I really do, but you can just tell that some of them are not yet ready to debut. 

Another thing that bothered me is that YG said he just wanted a group that are pretty or attractive, but what about talent too? Is he undermining the actual talent and just looking for pretty faces? Like, that was kind of an unneeded remark and thought process for this show. 

The one part of the show that I have actually agreed with so far is how the teams were chosen for the 2:2 battle. Winner actually chose the best pairs based on their teamwork, song choice, and overall talent as a pair. So that I agreed with. 

The biggest thing that has bothered me is when they had the Treasure 7 and they had to pair up and then left one of the boys and he had to join the trainees again. Like, WTF? Is it a popularity contest now, and not based on talent at all. I understand the choosing of the Treasure 7, but if they were going to win their spot by winning against the previous member, or keep their spot by defending, and then not get chosen to be apart of one of the three pairs so therefore not being apart of the Treasure team I dont think that is the best way to kick someone off. It just makes them feel like shit because they werent chosen as a partner. 

I am not going to lie, I have a bias towards those in Treasure A because they seem the most ready to debut. There are a few that I wish to be apart of the final group than others, but none of the bias is intended to show up in this rant about the show. 

There was another thing about the Treasure 7 and Treasure 6 that I wanted to point out. There are too many high toned vocals in the selection right now. Don’t get me wrong, they are all very talented and have beautiful voices, but there isnt any low toned vocals. There is like one low toned rapper and that does add something interesting for the ear to listen to, but right now with the selection before the 2:2 battle for the Treasure 6 spots, there are just too many high toned vocals and they sometimes blend together too much. That is just my opinion. I understand if you disagree with me though!

2019 Recap

January 

1/18: Bought my plane ticket back home to the motherland! 

Binge watched You season 1 — thanks, Kayla, for recommending it to me! 

Worked full-time during winter break because my work was severely understaffed (more $$$ yaasss)

As a result of working full-time, I also drank coffee on the daily. 🙃

Also binge watched The Hookup Plan on Netflix. 

First and only time my class was cancelled because of a snowstorm. 

The start of my second semester as a junior. 

Restarted watching Game of Thrones. 

February

Identity crisis. 

Bought tickets to see BLACKPINK in April. 

Obsessed with skin care, spent a lot of money at Sephora. 

Uni kept me busy for the most part. 

Wasn’t able to watch GoT as much. :(

Hello, dean’s list! 

March

Started my weekly professional practice experience (PPE) at UI Health. Every Friday for 8 weeks. Made me realize how crazy expensive parking downtown is. 

Binge watched GoT so I can watch the last season when it came out. Season 7 is my favorite! 

Discovered SHY Martin and omfg I love her music. 

Had a fight with one of the closest people in my life, and it opened my eyes to many things. I learned a lot like for example: no matter how close you are to a human being, there will be times where your opinions and views won’t align and I guess that’s okay. Try not to take things personally.

Also discovered L Devine from a YouTuber and I love her music too!! 

I was finally able to use my Twitter account on the actual app. I was locked out for months and had to use a third party app. 

April

Saw BLACKPINK with my sister and two of my cousins. First concert attended for 2019! 

Finally caught up with GoT and was able to watch s8 as it came out every Sunday. 

Uni kept me busy (lol when does it not???)

I was awarded, along with two other classmates, the Chancellor’s Student Service Award. 

Became a ninang to my first ever inaanak, Miah. 💗

May

Watched “Someone Great” on Netflix and bawled my eyes out towards the end. Nicely incorporated music throughout the whole movie. 👍🏼

Started to get disappointed with how GoT was going. 

A classmate & I did a joint report on our PPE experience at UI Health to end the semester. 

Started to watch Kdramas again! I watched Touch Your Heart and I had the biggest crush on Lee Dong Wook for a couple of weeks lol. 

Watched Aladdin with my sister at AMC Oakbrook and wore an all white outfit when it was pouring rain lmao. I still feel sad about how my continental 80s were soaking wet. 😢

June

Started watching Lucifer. I fell in love with Tom Ellis. 

Worked the weekends only because my boss didn’t give me as much hours as I wanted. :( I need money for my vacation :(

Warriors lost the finals, and with many injuries to their star players. I am a sad potato :(

WHEN THEY SEE US. Omfg this show stirred up so many feelings in me that I didn’t know I was capable of. I still highly recommend this mini series. This show also replaced my crush from Tom Ellis to Jharrel Jerome. 

So many books and conferences for senior year. I cry :c

Spoiled by coworkers (bought me coffee almost every weekend) <3

New crush alert: #15 USWNT. 

July 

Hello birth month! Kicked it off by travelling to Florida with my grandparents to visit my tita & tito who live there. Very hot and humid omg. First time my eyes were ever dry that I needed to use eye drops. 

Also, Southwest lost my luggage so we were stuck at home the first day in FL to wait for it to get dropped off. 

 A lot happened this month...

Had to fly to PH early because of a family emergency. 

CULTURE SHOCK. I haven’t been home in 6 years. 

So grateful for my longtime bff, Johan, for staying with me at home while my grandparents were in Bohol sorting some things out. 

7/23: LANY concert at MOA Arena with Johan. Second  and last concert for 2019. #thefeels. Manila traffic is insane. Flew back home early the next day because..

7/25: stayed at davao overnight. Had dinner with friends. I was wasted af. Early flight next day to Cebu. 

7/26 - 7/30: Spent 5 days with my close gal pals Johan, Hannah, Cara, Arvel, and Auleve at Cebu and Bohol. Spent my 22nd birthday with them and it was the best. ❤️❤️❤️

7/27: At Simala Church and I prayed to God about you. (He really listens!!)

He made me a playlist because I asked for song recommendations. That was really sweet of him. 

7/31: Instead of closure, we started something new. We decided to try again. Probably the first and last time I’d let someone read what I wrote on my private blogs. Also, everything happens for a reason haha. 

For the record, I’ve drank the most in this month than I ever had in my entire life. Hangovers can suck it. 

August

08/04: Davao house party with our closest friends!! Love how supportive they are of us. Didn’t get much sleep, took care of my wasted friends lol. 

Frances made a video of the house party linked here: https://youtu.be/t_AATf2fCg8 

08/09: 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛

08/10: Date at davao, then had dinner with Dan (one of his closest friends and our high school classmate) and his girlfriend, Alyssa. 

Started to get texts and emails again from work and uni. :(

Meant so much to me that one of my favorite high school teachers supports us. ❤️

Awarded some $$$ from uni because I had the highest GPA in the HIM program. 

Attended the junior orientation at school. Glad to see it’s getting more diverse each year. 

Lover!!! 💗💗💗

Officially a senior! One. More. Year. #HIM2020

Impulsively upgraded my phone from 8+ to the XS. 😬

September

My lover’s birth month. 

Honeymoon phase. 

Part of UIC’s Jeopardy team at the AHIMA Conference and we won!!! YAY TEAM!

One of my high school friends, Paolo, and his friend Riz, visited me here in Chicago for 2 days. Going out with them was a nice break from my monotonous schedule. 

And because I had visitors, it was the first time I had to drive on the highway for a long time. Finally conquered my fear of driving on the highway because I had no choice. *pats self on the back*

October

Sad month. Lost another classmate. 

Back to drinking Starbucks on the daily. My debit card is crying. 

Baby fever is real!

And who would’ve thought... my bff is pregnant!! I tagged Johan on a tweet that said “baby fever but like in an aunt way” and she called me a few days later telling me the good news. I thought she was messing with me at first hahaha. I have a new inaanak coming soon!

Mama’s birthday. Had lunch at our favorite place Joy Yee. 

My mom’s brother who she hasn’t seen in 8 years visited us here in Chicago. 

November

Friends thought I’m getting engaged or married when I told them I’m going back home after graduation. Love how supportive they are haha.

I was invited to be a panelist for an event at uni. Great experience, although I would not do it again because parking downtown is expensive. 

“Not everything about your relationship has to be shared with others.”

Mental health spiral. (I pulled through after disappearing for a few days)

Cut my hair short, but not that short. 

December

Senior In-Service done!  

Starbucks discontinued my fav Chestnut Praline Latte and I am the saddest bean ever. :( </3

Impulsively upgraded my phone to 11, hated the quality (reminded me of android phones). So after four days, I upgraded it to the 11 Pro Max. No more spending this year! Lol. 

After all the struggles I went through with school this semester, I still managed to finish with straight A’s thanks to the extra credit points from completing the course evaluations. Summa cum laude = secured. 👩🏻‍🎓✨☝🏼

I tried Disney Plus and binge watched The Suite Life on Deck. I remembered I used to have the biggest crush on Cody since the first Suite Life lol. 

#2019 recap

Kpop Tag

FIRSTIES First kpop group you listened to? 

I think it was GOT7?? I was watching the fine bros react to kpop thing bc dan and phil were on it lol First group you actually knew the members’ names?

BTS, it took me forever and I kept getting confused because there were like 15 names being mentioned in the comments but only 7 members and I had no idea what was going on (like hobi/hoseok/jhope, how was I supposed to know they were all the same person??)

First bias ever?

Kim Taehyung

First song to make you emotional? 

Hmm idk, I think I Need U? the first thing I remember properly crying at was the You Were Beautiful mv.. the only song that makes me emotional without the mv accompanying it is Climax (I told you my answers were gonna be similar ahahah) and I usually skip it when it comes on shuffle bc I just don’t have the emotional strength😢

TOP 3 Top 3 favorite male groups

NCT, iKON, Day6

Top 3 favorite female groups

Red Velvet, Blackpink and then Twice or CLC? maybe, idk.. definitely RV and BP but after that it kind of just becomes a mess of groups joint third ahahah, I’m still pretty new to girl groups so I don’t know them that well (other than RV) but I think I enjoy the music from these groups the most  Top 3 favorite solo artists

GD, Dean, Hyuna. I also love ONE (he may only have 2 songs but they’re amazing) and yeah I guess Bobby doesn’t really count but his solo album is the best thing since sliced bread so I’m gonna put him in here anyway💓 (I basically just retyped your answer about these 2 but oh well aahahha)

Top 3 biases

Taeyong (NCT, u all know), Hanbin (iKON) and uh then it becomes a problem, I’m gonna go with Taehyung (BTS) just bc I don’t wanna let go of him but Mark Lee and Kim Donghyuk are really great…. I’d put someone from Day6 in here but I can’t pick a bias from that group so yeah

Top 3 fandoms you’re part of

I feel like I’m only really ‘part of’ the NCT fandom (I don’t contribute but i do have friends here yay) but yeah, NCTzen, iKONic (haven’t figured out where the capitalisation goes in that but we’ll go with this) and MyDay (is there a space??) I never use fandom names sorry

Cherry Bomb - NCT 127

i’m probably forgetting stuff but that’s enough anyway

ULTIMATE Ultimate bias group? 

my life’s biggest question… gonna say nct bc I’m on my nct blog and some of u might bully me if I say ikon (no but really I can’t pick, I’ve been with nct longer and I love them very much and my ikon hype is through the roof but I’ve only been here a few months and it might die down and then i’ll be all over nct again?? anyway I love both groups a lot💕☄) i also love day6 very much and all of their songs are amazing but i think i feel more of a connection with the other two just because of the amount of content there is...

Ultimate male bias? 

….kim hanbin (please tell taeyong I’m sorry, I was trying to resist but hanbin got me good)

Ultimate female bias? 

I actually don’t know? I really don’t know girl groups well enough in terms of their personalities to pick an ultimate bias :(  rena from pristin can step on me tho, I love hyuna too and I love yeri, actually my answer is Yeri (Red Velvet)

I tag @jeno-jeyes @hydranoel @cherry-ten @kpopmainlizzy @we-are-onexo and @idontknowshittbh 💞

Hello! Could you write 2. Stay here tonight with Blackpink's Jennie? Please and thank you~ ♡_♡

“Stay here tonight.” x Jennie

You had been friends with Jennie for years, and now, after all those years you finally took her on your first date. Honestly, it didn’t go as well as you had hoped, as either of you had hoped. You had hoped that going on a date with her would be comfortable, like hanging out, but more organized. It wasn’t. Apparently the label ‘date’ made everyone rigid when they heard it. The night had started out normal, you picked her up from her dorm and from there took her to the carnival that had been set up across town. The car ride over there was almost silent, you had attempted to turn on the radio but it lost signal about half way through the first song. You attempted to hit it a few times, but nothing worked. Jennie grabbed you hand gently and smiled, “Leave it, we can just talk. We’re good at that.” You believed that, and oh boy did you wish you had just kept hitting the damn radio. The rest of the car ride was shifting around in awkward silence while every once and awhile one of you would attempt to make a conversation that never went anywhere. You finally found somewhere to park and got out of the car, Jennie following quickly behind you. You thought it would end the tension between the two of you when you played a game together, but you had forgotten how competitive the two of you were. Usually, it worked out in your favor since you were usually on the same team, but when you were competing with each other, whoever won also lost. Which happened to be you, and you were not exactly someone who was fun to win against. You went on to a few more games, you winning a stuffed bear before the two of you decided to leave. After a few minutes of teasing each other about your wins and losses, and you dancing the stuffed bear around her head, Jennie shoved you playfully and pouted, turning away from you. “You know this is a first date right? If I had won I would’ve given you the bear.” “But it’s not exactly a first date if I’ve known you forever.” You countered as the two of you exited the carnival together. “It definitely feels like a first date.” Jennie said, a slight chuckle escaping her lips. You looked at her for a moment before handing her the bear. You knew, at this point, that she didn’t mean that in a cute way, this was just as bad for her as it was for you. You shoved it farther in her grip when she refused to take the bear for herself, insisting that you had won it, and she was just joking. You kept your hands in your pockets until you reached the car. You opened the door for her and shut it behind her as she got in. You walked to the drivers side as slowly as you could without making it look like you were purposely slowing down. The drive home was somehow worse than the drive to the carnival, and all you wanted to do was go home and vent about it to someone, but the one person you wanted to vent to was sitting next to you, looking anywhere in the car but at you. When you walked her to her door you lingered outside with her for a moment, you opened your mouth to say something before deciding not to as you just watched her open the door and let herself in.“I’m sorry.” You sputtered out quickly before she had the chance to close the door in your face. She paused and opened it a bit more, just enough for you to be able to see the three girls hiding behind the couch and holding a finger up to their lips so you knew not to say anything to Jennie. “I’m sorry, this didn’t really turn out the way I had hoped it would.” You elaborated, suddenly becoming more and more interested in your shoes. She laughed a bit and walked outside, shutting the door behind, “Don’t think we need to make their show any easier.” She added a bit. “I don’t know what happened.” You added, finally looking at her. “I really thought it would be easier because it us, you know.” Jennie smiled, “Yeah, I know.” she danced the bear around, “At least I have this, we can pretend that I won.” she joked. You laughed and nodded a bit, “Maybe we can try again? You know, like start from the beginning?”“We’ve been on one date.” She said gently pushing you again, “Besides, it’s not like I don’t know you, maybe next time we just don’t think about it like a date, just like us going out.”“Yeah, maybe I’ll even kiss you.” You agreed with a smile.“You still have time to do that now.” Jennie said quietly, she leaned forward to press a light kiss to your lips before pulling away in surprise when you hear a muffled shout come from behind the door. You opened the door and saw Lisa sprawled on the floor, the other two slowly standing from their hiding spaces.“Lisa fell off the chair.” Rose explained.“I was only listening cause they made me.” Lisa muttered, slowly pushing herself up. You smiled a bit, and nodded, feigning belief for her sake more than anything else. You looked at your phone, seeing a text from your roommate coming in. “I should really be going.”Jennie snuck her hand into yours and pulled you back towards her room, “Tell her you’re not going home.” she urged gently, “Stay here tonight.”  You smiled a bit and followed her willingly, thinking to yourself how maybe this date didn’t turn out as bad as you thought it did.

Three:Project Shining Diamond

// what was originally supposed to be a scenario turned into this instead? inspired and based off this video HERE. all credits for the video go to @hoon-seok

// warnings: fighting everywhere omg how many times do i have to warn this, mentions of drugs, mentions of murder, is prison a warning??, holding people hostage?

// sneak peek: “Seungcheol?” And it all goes to Hell. It’s Y/N. It’s Y/N’s voice. She’s crying, sobbing on the phone, heavy breathing and choked cries as loud as the heart pounding fast in S.Coups’ chest. He knows it’s Y/N - he’s only fallen in love with that voice too many times. “Seungcheol? Are… are you there? Please. Please, Cheol… help me.”

   After the occurrence of meeting Bangtan Boys and being handed the USB in which S.Coups later listened to with Woozi, he’d decided two things.

  The first thing he’d decided was that nobody was to know of what was on that USB.

  S.Coups had listened to the single audio file on it again, and again, and again. He’d listened to it until he memorized the poem, until he could pinpoint the exact moments in which Y/N let out a choked sob, breathed heavily in, made her voice crack. He’d listened to it until it was burned into his memory like an annoying song on the radio that looped on for infinity. He’d listened to it until it’d become his worst nightmare, and tinged every single part of his brain in a dark soulless color that could resonate only the sound of his deepest love’s sorrow and fear.

  And after Seungcheol had memorized the downright sound wave of that heart aching audio file, he’d thrown the entire USB into a burning flame he’d lit on his very desk. The action had been in fear and dread, and Seungcheol could still feel the hot tears rolling down his cheeks as Jeonghan’s loud scolding filled his ears, trying to put out the fire that had already eaten away at his desk and the only remnants of the person he loved so dearly.

  Jihoon had sworn he wouldn’t tell anyone about the audio file, albeit in hesitance, and Seungcheol felt a pang of guilt in his chest every time they accidentally shared eye contact.

  The others were, of course, curious about the sudden change in attitude from both of them as well as the desk fire once they’d heard about it, but Seungcheol had done his best to assure them that nothing was wrong. The last thing he needed was for the rest of the gang to be in the same constant state of depression and paranoia that he himself was experiencing at this moment. Besides, wasn’t it S.Coups’ job as a leader to take the burden?

  The second thing he’d decided was that it was time to stay low.

  Everybody in Seventeen was instructed to fall off the grid. Attracting attention to the gang was forbidden, picking fights with others found punishable. And while some were annoyed and disappointed of the new rules (Joshua, Dino, and DK to only name a few), others were glad for the break granted after the stress and initial gloom of no longer having Y/N around with them.

  Of course, this second decision didn’t go exactly as planned, if even at all.

  The first day these new rules had been established, Seungcheol had received a rather anxious phone call from Seungkwan, who was asking for backup after they’d indulged themselves in a fight with a rival gang, BLACKPINK. S.Coups could still remember the nerves in Seungkwan’s voice as he spoke.

  “S.Coups,” He’d breathed out at the time. Seungcheol could hear shouting and muttering in the background. “I… we… we need a favor. I know you said we had to stay low and lay off the fighting but… well, we’re kind of stuck here.” S.Coups had gritted his teeth.

  “If you’re gonna say something, Seungkwan, you better say it quick. I’m not about to let you waste my time after you disobeyed my rules.” There’d been a pause on the other end.

  “Vernon, Dino, and I… we’re in a fight with BLACKPINK. Three against four, S.Coups. These girls don’t play nice either. We need backup, we’re really getting our asses kicked.” The faint sound of police sirens and shouts for help from his own members in the background had startled Seungcheol. In fact, it had startled him enough to momentarily forget his anger and fury towards the three boys.

  “I’m sending Joshua and Mingyu. Let this happen again, Seungkwan, and I’ll kick your ass.” The second time somebody disobeyed Seungcheol’s rules, it’d only a few days after the previous incident with BLACKPINK.

  The news was delivered to him in an ill tempered tone from Mingyu on a late night when he said, “Attempted murder and massive bank robbery. Jeonghan and Joshua are in prison right now. Our sources say we need to get them out fast before they uncover the entirety of Seventeen.” In a span of two and a half hours, Seungcheol had come up with a foolproof plan to get both of his members out of prison the next morning that involved bringing the whole gang together - a risk, but one S.Coups was willing to take to save his family.

  When the event of the actual escape came along, the gang was divided into three different groups: S.Coups, Jun, Woozi, Mingyu, and THE8 in Team A, Hoshi, DK, and Seungkwan in Team B, and Wonwoo, Vernon, and Dino in Team C. With that, each team was assigned a truck as they headed to the prison in an anxious and excited bunch.

  Wonwoo, whose team was currently ahead of everyone else’s, got excited when he saw the gates of the prison drawing nearer and nearer, and he could only barely make out the sight of people in the courtyard, lumbering around in their enclosed, miserable state.

  “Floor it.” Dino’s voice is just barely audible over the anticipation of getting Jeonghan and Joshua out of prison, but there’s no mistaking the smile in his voice. Wonwoo takes a steady breath, licks his lips, and then presses hard on the gas, the truck lurching forward at a heart racing pace. Team B, who’s right behind them, doesn’t take the time to watch the truck’s sudden speed before they’re racing forward as well. It’s Team A who takes precaution in the territory of the prison.

  Vernon, who’s sitting in the passenger seat of Team C, feels his heart creeping increasingly faster up his chest and throat, his teeth grinding harder together as the gate comes closer, and closer, and - it crashes open as the truck hits it at full speed.

  There’s a moment’s hesitation in the prison, a moment when all the inmates and guards are stunned at what’s happened, but Team C takes no time to waste as they open their doors and start firing with guns and other dangerous weapons. It’s almost like a knock-off James Bond movie in slow motion before everyone else seems to have come back to life in a few seconds. And then it’s chaotic.

  Team B has pulled up behind Team C, firing anything they can at the guards as well to keep them distracted. There’s inmates everywhere - some fleeing through the open spaces of the gate, some trying to get inside the trucks, others fighting against the trucks, and even some running back to the prison itself.

  Dino catches the sight of Jeonghan in the crowd - the only male with long black hair that’s strolling casually through the chaotic scene with a charming smile on his face. Joshua is not far behind him, laughing in joy as if he’s witnessing a comedic theater act.

  “Hurry the hell up!” Dino shouts loudly. They don’t have time to act this out like it’s some kind of made up story. “We can’t wait up on a couple of pretty boys!” Jeonghan tsks loud enough so Dino can hear, and Joshua laughs.

  “Is that anyway to speak to your elders?” Joshua chastises. Jeonghan laughs as they walk past Team C’s truck, heading for Team A. Jeonghan frowns at the annoyed expression on Chan’s face.

  “Oh, come on, Dino. You look so much more handsome with a smile. Come on, who’s baby are you?” Dino rolls his eyes and goes back to firing at the guards. They drive back after they’ve gotten the signal from S.Coups, and both Jeonghan and Joshua alternate from changing trucks at least six times on the way back to base.

  And despite all the trouble they’d gone through as a team to save Jeonghan, Joshua, and Seventeen as a whole, it seems like it’s almost done for nothing. Because just the next day, Seungcheol receives a tip from the same source as last time that Woozi is being suspected of some gang related crimes that could earn him an entire life sentence in prison. S.Coups is forced to have Jihoon fall off the grid for a couple weeks to clear everything up.

  And a couple days after that, S.Coups gets word of an old gang murder and finds out Jun and THE8 are the top suspects, which, as it turns out, S.Coups himself can remember giving them the order for the murders just some months ago. It’s almost as if somebody is purposely trying to get the entirety of Seventeen in trouble.

  Seungcheol is almost sure of the fact when he has to pull a favor from a crooked cop after Hoshi, Wonwoo, and DK are caught smuggling drugs across the border to Russia, Japan, and China. It would’ve been one of their biggest sales, had it not been for the mysterious snitch.

  But S.Coups is grateful, because it’s at this moment that everything begins to calm down. There’s been no trouble from authorities, other gangs, and the like, and all the members have managed to stay at base together for the past four days.

  The clock in Seungcheol’s office strikes 12:02 in the morning when he receives a phone call for the first time in four days. He’s tired, exasperated at the assumption that somebody’s gotten in trouble again, and S.Coups doesn’t answer at first as he picks at the burnt pieces of material on his desk, insomnia eating away at him like the dark melody of the poem that won’t stop repeating itself in his mind. The phone stops ringing, and there’s a faint echo of the sound still lingering in the room. But before it’s gone, his phone is ringing again, and Seungcheol can hear it louder than before, can feel the annoyance panging at his mind’s eye.

  Something of a growl and a grunt come rasping from his throat at the same time as S.Coups picks up the phone with tremendous frustration, a knot in his chest winding up all the stress and anxiety he’s felt these past weeks.

  “What is it this time?” Seungcheol all but shouts into the phone, anger gnawing away at the annoyance in his mind. But it all soon fades away as fast as its crept upon him, because S.Coups can hear choked crying and quiet sobbing on the other line. His eyebrows fall from their angered knit and he’s suddenly worried about the person on the other end.

  “Seungcheol?” And it all goes to Hell. It’s Y/N. It’s Y/N’s voice. She’s crying, sobbing on the phone, heavy breathing and choked cries as loud as the heart pounding fast in S.Coups’ chest. He knows it’s Y/N - he’s only fallen in love with that voice too many times. “Seungcheol? Are… are you there? Please. Please, Cheol… help me.”

  “Y/N?” Seungcheol can’t help but let his tone of voice fall into something desperate and worried, and he’s clutching the phone with both hands, almost like he’s afraid somebody will take it away from him any moment now. “Y/N, what’s going on? Where are you? Are you okay?” A loud sob comes from the reception, and it’s nothing like S.Coups has ever heard before. He finds his heart aching at the sound, can feel his entire being deteriorate at the sound of the person he’s loved so much… in so much pain.

  “Seungcheol, please.” The sobbing is getting progressively louder and more desperate. “I need help! Help me! I’m - I’m alone. Nobody can help me. I just want to go home!” Then there’s the sound of hyperventilating, and Seungcheol quickly sits back in his chair.

  “Y/N, calm down. It’s okay, alright? You know I’ll always help you. Just tell me where you are. Tell me where you are, and we’ll be there as soon as we can.” There’s a long pause, one that almost frightens him that the call’s been ended, but then the voice is there again.

  “It’s - It’s a carnival! Some miles away from Bangtan Boys’ base. AKMU knows where it’s at. Just please, Cheol! Come help me! Some gang - they’ve got me hostage! I need help!” There’s a strange pause before Y/N repeats her last sentence in the same exact manner and tone before it cuts altogether and a long beep follows afterwards. Seungcheol slams the phone back down before he finds his heart is racing faster than it’s ever done before.

  In an anxious manner, S.Coups runs both hands through his hair, holds his face as he finds he’s hyperventilating just as Y/N was before, and he’s confused and reeling with a thousand emotions clogging his rational mind all at the same time. Seungcheol slams open the door of his office faster than his mind can tell him not to, and he finds a few of the boys are sitting around a table, a game of poker momentarily forgotten as they stared at their frantic leader.

  “Supplies, weapons, we need it all! It all goes in the vans! Wake up everyone! We’re leaving now!” They sit there in shock for a couple seconds. “Did you hear me? I said we’re leaving now! Get the hell up, and get everyone and everything to the vans! We need to save Y/N!” At once, they’re up from their seats, some rushing to the dorms to awaken those sleeping, and others scurrying to the weapon and supply rooms.

  It’s not ‘til almost everyone is outside waiting in the vans that Seungcheol realizes he’s been too lost in his anxious and frantic manner to see that Woozi was the only one left inside the base besides him. The boy is staring at him, arms crossed with an expression of worry on his face.

  “Should we really leave today, S.Coups?” Seungcheol’s at a loss for words, sentences reeling in his mouth with ideas and thoughts of what Y/N might be tomorrow if they don’t arrive today.

  “Of course we’re leaving today! We have to save her! She’s our family.” A look of hurt falls over Woozi’s face. He steps closer, pulls his coat tighter around his body.

  “S.Coups… it’s the first of October.” An entire poem that Seungcheol has been muttering like a torturous mantra suddenly comes rushing back to him with an impact like a train hitting his entire body.

  S.Coups feels his heart drop to his stomach.
