Cardcaptor Sakura Clear Card Special Chapter: Comments and Analysis

WELCOME BACK, CCS FAAAAAAAAAAAANSSS!!!!!

Oh my god 3 months went already by from that December 1st and chapter 80, didn't they?? Feels like yesterday 🙈But we're finally here, finally ready for the release of the definitive, last SPECIAL CHAPTER of Cardcaptor Sakura Clear Card!!!! After this, no more CCS for at least a while!!

Why do you see me so euphoric?? WELL, THERE IS MORE THAN ONE VERY GOOD REASON 😂 But let's not jump the gun and let's introduce this post properly: this time around, I won't be posting pictures to "illustrate" the analysis/commentary, because this special chapter was treated differently from the other ones. It didn't get, in fact, a free release on CLAMP's Youtube channel, in any language, and wasn't even uploaded for digital purchase on Comic Days like all the rest of the chapters. The only way to obtain it was via the April issue of Nakayoshi, either with the physical or digital version. Since it is clear to me their intention to keep this gem of a special chapter away from the internet jungle, and since lately I used only the screenshots from Youtube to illustrate my analysis, this time around I won't be posting anything (aside from the color page, which was released by the official account themselves).

AND! I won't be mixing analysis and summary, because I have already conveniently prepared some screenshots with a detailed summary of the chapter for the people who were curious to know, but didn't get to see the chapter yet or did see it but couldn't read Japanese. I have already posted these screenshots on my Twitter account, and I'll put them here too under the cut (please don't repost them around or in other social media), so you can immediately get a broad view on the content of the chapter (I don't have to point out translation mistakes, haha 😅), and then, afterwards, I'll write my commentary. And there is SO MUCH to say!!

But before starting, we can't break the tradition right at the LAST ROUND of our chapter commentaries, right?? So off we go, with the GIF OF THE MONTH!!

Yes, I think this is the GIF that can represent this chapter the most. 😂

The Color Page

This special chapter is composed of 33 pages, and of course I can't avoid starting my commentary precisely from the color page!!

I admit it, I hoped for a color spread with the four main characters of Clear Card (hence, including Kaito and Akiho too), but since the other two appeared with their own color page just in chapter 79, we'll gladly take this single color page with SyaoSaku too!! ❤️ The JP text reads "We've been together till now, and we will always be! Featuring a long-awaited special chapter!!" Syaosaku look absolutely adorable....and so, so happy!! Looking at us, from a wreath made of cherry blossoms, of course dressed in their image colors pink and green, in a "pair look"...I think their shiny smiles conquered the hearts of the entire fandom (saw many comments about it) and it is certainly a perfect introduction to a chapter that is, indeed, completely made of this happy, leisurely, warm atmosphere. I feel like it tastes even better, after all the anxiety they made us go through, right? I'm pretty sure that was CLAMP's goal all along, giving us this little reward after all the hard situations they've put their characters through. This color page looks like Sakura and Syaoran are saying "goodbye" to us, holding their hands in a lover's hold, but seeing them so cute and happy definitely soothes the sad feeling 🥲 Until we meet again...hopefully!

Letters From Around The World

But it's when the chapter starts that we get our first surprise: the time skip is of one entire year!!! We left our little heroes at the end of the first year of Tomoeda Middle school, ready to go in spring break and then start the second year...here, Sakura says she's in her spring break of the next year, ready to become a 9th grader!!! I almost couldn't believe they actually went that far, I knew from CLAMP's podcast that there was a timeskip, but I expected just some months! Although....I have to say the characters don't look that different, Mokona said she made them a tiny bit older and she kept true to that, because it's barely visible! 🤭 But if you compare them with how they looked at the middle of the story, of course the difference is visible.

I was so happy to see that the chapter started right away with a letter from Akiho: a letter or a videocall was definitely among the type of content I wanted to see in this chapter, because of course I still was quite preoccupied about the difficult journey Akiho and Kaito embarked on, so I wanted to see how they were faring. The amount of letters Sakura accumulated over the span of this year tells me that they moved around quite a lot, and she had always something to share with her "long-distance sister" 🤭 Kero praising Akiho's skills and even feeling some sort of "reverence" for her insane talent to find all the crazy and rare books was so funny and nice!! 😂Sakura is adorable, feeling all proud about the talent of her "sister" 🤭 Loved that they actually mentioned the place where Akiho and Kaito are currently at!! (cause they didn't reveal where they'd go first, in chapter 80, and I guess we'll never know). I appreciated SO SO much that they let us see that Akiho didn't drop, but actually continued to practice her sewing skills like she was doing before everything went down the drain with the Alice in Clockland play: moreover, finding out later that this skill is also helping her greatly with the true ambition of her life made me incredibly satisfied. How cute of her to send outfits for Kero and Suppy, even from far away??

I was quite surprised to find out that Akiho sends all the rare books to Eriol, and then laughed my as* off at Kero saying he's selling them off (the way Kero phrases it in JP makes it look a QUITE shady activity 😂). This shows there's a continued collaboration between the "group" in England and YunaAki, and it's very nice. They're not only "taking" support from Eriol, Akiho also does return the favor, providing Eriol with the books he needs.

And then....got really emotional to know that Kaito wrote a letter to Sakura, back when they left one year ago 🥲 I DID feel like some kind of acknowledgement or apology from Kaito to Sakura was missing from chapter 80 (but honestly, with everything they had to explain, where they could fit that?) and so this little mention completely fixed that sense of "he made a mess and barely managed to apologize to Akiho before leaving". Kaito isn't an ass*ole so of course he would've done something like that, and a letter seems perfect for an introvert boy of few words like him. I imagine the letter wasn't really long either. The little moon on the sealing wax...❤️The fact that Sakura is storing that single letter together with Akiho's letters in a specific box makes me almost cry. She cares for those two so, so much! 😭 Sakura wishes to receive more letters from Kaito and I really hope he will open up to her along the way, because he could benefit ENORMOUSLY from her advices and perspective! Also THANK YOU CLAMP for giving us a little "still" of those two next to eachother from the moment when they were leaving Tomoeda, with the suitcases and all 🥲that last faraway shot of all four of them together in chapter 80 was so great, but I wanted to see them like this too!

The SyaoSaku Date

Aaaaaand then we get to the long awaited, craved, coveted SYAOSAKU DATE!!! 🤣 I can't count how many people I've seen wishing for this....to be honest I was going to be ok with any kind of sweet moment between the two, but gotta admit that a carefree afternoon watching a stage play and then taking refreshment at a café gives this sense of normal, complete fun that was missing a bit for them. They are dressed in a very fancy way (loved that Sakura isn't wearing her usual long one-pieces but something different, with puff shorts! A sign of her growing up?) and even though they're not exactly wearing a "pair look" (too corny, maybe?), they are well matching eachother's outfits. And of course we find out that Tomoyo made Sakura's cute outfit and even the decorations on Syaoran's collar! The fact she was the one asking Syaoran to wear them at the date is kinda funny, like some sort of guidance into looking like a couple, thanks to the matching decorations! Tomoyo really takes care of everything....yes....everything. 🥲 The mention of Sakura's wedding dress of course made me go "OH MY GOD" and made me realize that if Tomoyo is already mentioning that.......we aren't *that* far away from that day (I always imagined SyaoSaku marrying early, since they're soulmates and got together so young!! 😆). Truly an emotional, sweet moment that was reinforced by Tomoyo's tender expression in the flashback. Her resolution to devote herself to learn to design even normal everyday outfits, or date outfits, everything that could accompany her dear Sakura everyday, reminded me that Tomoyo found her very own way to be with Sakura, and she's perfectly content with that. Tomoyo's happiness is seeing Sakura happy, and she will do anything to achieve that. ✨

Syaoran and Kaito's Friendship

And then my blushy blushy Sakura changes topic and suddenly throws me on the floor in a fit of laughter, because seeing Syaoran's confused look while he was trying to make sense of the pictures Kaito sent him on his phone WAS HONESTLY PRICELESS. 😆 My god, how long have I wished to see them like this? Moving their timid steps into a friendship (since their girlfriends are like sisters and Sakura literally saved Kaito's derriere), being their awkward dorky selves...they surprisingly get along so well and Syaoran doesn't seem to hold resentment towards him, which is GREAT for me!! He's learning from Sakura to just let go of hard feelings, when you've found out the person who acted in an oppositive way was just in a very desperate situation and had actually no ill intentions. And that makes me incredibly happy. Kaito needs all the support he can get, to make the right decisions in his life, and I can totally see him finding a particular connection with Syaoran, due to how they're both moon boys, who would give their life for the person they love. I think precisely for this, precisely because Syaoran can understand to a degree Kaito's situation and behavior, he wouldn't feel judged and would feel more free to establish a connection with him. I was k*lled with laughter and endearment when I saw that Syaoran felt confused, but still tried to understand Kaito's peculiar way of communicating with him 😂 And guess what? I think he doesn't realize it, but he's totally starting to get it! 😂The way our wolfie boy snaps that picture IMMEDIATELY as the cat passes by, and how he only framed the ear, really shows how in the end he's speaking "the same language" as Kaito 😂 Seeing Sakura so excitedly think to herself that the two became such good friends made me scream "SAME SAKURA-CHAN, SAME!!!" 😂 All in all, seeing these two having such a relaxed, comfortable date talking about their friends and stuff that happened lately made me completely feel that one year that elapsed, and now they act totally like a couple that's been dating for quite some time. 😊 Ooooh thank you sensei, really. Thank you so much for this scene. 🙏

The Moon Is Really Beautiful, Right?

BUT! The real reason why CLAMP will always have my heart and my gratitude is hidden in the next scene. 😂

Oh my god, the screams I've belted out when I saw them. And when I've read THAT. But let's go in order, let's go in order and not jump the gun! We're in Germany, Akiho and Kaito now seem to be living in an apartment in a nice building! They're still talking in keigo, and still calling eachother "Akiho-san" and "Kaito-san". 😊

Kaito SMILES genuinely at the picture Syaoran sent him!! And answers, to an observant Akiho, that he's having fun!! 😭HIM! The one who couldn't understand what was fun in interacting with others!!! He looks honestly so radiant and happy, a sign that his mental recovery is going strong. And that he's slowly expanding his "trusted people" network. 🥲🙏Also, he looks younger than ever!!! 😂

It made me INCREDIBLY HAPPY to see that Akiho didn't drop the "hobby" she had started in chapter 26 (ages ago!!), remember this scene?

I remember how much I loved to know she had started learning how to do this, because together with my friends, at the time, we all thought this could easily become her aspiration in life......and guess what?? CLAMP confirmed she wants to take on a job revolving around books and book repairing!! This is all canon!! T___T oh my happy tears.... There's a sense of pride in seeing that this journey for Akiho isn't only revolving around finding the cure for Kaito's shortened lifespan (which hurt his body terribly) and restarting his "stopped time", or finding Momo and the Alice in Clockland book, but she's also got the mental resolution to do something for herself, for what she wants to do in life, something that is completely disconnected from Kaito. Again, I cannot reiterate enough how this girl doesn't have an unhealthy codependent relationship with Kaito, and she's completely capable of thinking about her own future, aspirations and wishes. She wants him with her, and she could never live happily without him, but the love of her life isn't the only thing that exists for her. It is incredibly satisfying to see her working hard for her own future, where she'll be able to contribute (especially financially) to their livelihood. I can see Kaito helping her and assisting her with that. The other day I was dreaming away with my friends about Kaito and Akiho managing a "book cafè" together somewhere, how impossibly sweet that would be?

Seeing this volitive, ambitious, strong-willed Akiho once again filled my heart immensely. And I wasn't the only one, apparently.....

Oh god, you have no idea of the SHRIEKS I belted out when I saw Kaito saying "the moon is really beautiful, right?" in full daylight. Like. It is absolutely unmistakable at this point what kind of love he feels for her, and while I always knew, I'm sure the character took his own sweet time and personal introspection to reach that conclusion. If you remember, I've always said it and reiterated it at the end of chapter 80: Kaito won't understand things overnight, it will take a long time. And one year, at that age, is enough of a long time to come to terms with one's feelings and understanding what exactly they mean. They lived all that time together as two "equals", no more butler/boss bullsh*t, so they had even more opportunities to see eachother's true colors. And Kaito couldn't help but fall even more in love with Akiho, to the point that seeing her working so excitedly for her future made him gently overflow with that feeling....and said that sweet quote of Natsume Soseki that we all know, by now, what it means. I think the mere fact that what made his heart explode was seeing her so independent and strong, is a good sign that Kaito's love for her is the healthy and supportive kind, too. He doesn't love her and feels attracted to her soul because she's a weaker, younger, malleable being that he can dominate (as a toxic relationship would portray), but at the contrary, because she's free and strong and wonderful on her own. The more he sees her shining, the more that feeling grows. Throughout this scene, he looks at her and talks to her in such an intensely sweet way, you can totally see he's smitten with her.

The most popular reply to someone who confesses with "the moon is beautiful" is the equivalent of "I could die for you/I can die happy now", in Japanese. And Kaito had been unconsciously replying that way, with his actions, the whole damn time during the serialization of Clear Card. But since he took it way too literally, things were really heading to tragedy. Nobody wanted him to die for real, and yet, subconsciously, that was the only way he had found to give outlet to an enormous amount of feels that he couldn't express (because it wasn't appropriate, and nobody would ever love him, and he only caused her pain, and he had to let go of Akiho anyway at the end of it).

So considering all of THAT, this "I love you very much" he said now (he added とても, "very", like Akiho did ❤️) in this way, makes me think even more "yes, you finally understood what was the best way to convey it!" and therefore, it represents another character development for our moon boy. 🥲

There's debate over whether he had already understood what Akiho had meant, in chapter 48. I stand firmly by my convinction that, even if he was informed of the Japanese folklore tale around it, he quickly dismissed it as "no, she's meaning it literally for the moon", since he couldn't really believe that anyone would ever take interest in him, and was sure he would've always been alone. Otherwise, if he really understood and believed that Akiho was in love with him, I don't think he could've ever said that "I thought you didn't need me to be happy". It doesn't make sense. But everything that happened at the fake moon, and all her angry tears, and all her resolution to find a way to cure him, made him finally see that she really meant it in that way. ❤️So his own acceptance and introspection could finally start, and....it brought to this. ❤️ If you want to know more about the popular phrase "the moon is beautiful, right?", I invite you to check my first Clear Card Trivia post, focused on the literary and musical references portrayed throughout this story!

And LOL, I couldn't help but noticing several things in how this scene played out: first, he immediately "runs away" blabbering about the breakfast being ready, a very similar way to how he "ran away" in chapter 52 when Akiho could see right through him and was trying to express her support and feelings to him. This is definitely an indication (taking into consideration also how he acted when he was little) that the reason why Kaito walked away back then, slamming the door, had a sprinkle of embarrassment embedded in it, too. Yeah. I mean, look at the face he's making here, just before he notices, puzzled, that his hand is shaking:

He's smiling so tenderly, among the pain he's feeling because of his poor health. He even laughs! He's happy he heard that! But he just couldn't stay hearing any longer, back then. Now, in this scene of the special chapter, he literally throws "the bomb" and runs away without hearing her answer or reaction 😂😂😂this is definitely embarrassment, and I'd like to think there's even a hint of teasing streak that I've always seen between the lines in his personality. It came out particularly with Syaoran and Momo, but Akiho isn't excluded from this dynamic! 😂

And excuse me, but Akiho's reaction literally made me roll on the floor laughing!! 😂The poor girl is probably so used to live abroad, and Japanese folklore isn't probably coming up immediately in her mind anymore, despite it's a phrase SHE used HERSELF back then! 😂Or maybe it's because she didn't really expect it from him, and so she took a moment to connect the dots. Either way, it was extremely funny! And I can't absolutely avoid pointing out how our girl isn't blushing like mad anymore, but just slightly.... I mean. It must have been quite clear to her too, by now, that her feelings were in some kind "reciprocated", be it for what Sakura said back at the fake moon, his decision to go back to her, and his decision to reveal his true name, hence giving her his most vulnerable part of himself... This isn't a shock for her, and she probably waited patiently, patiently, for him to finally say something like this. So maybe, more than embarrassed, she's surprised that the day finally came! 🥲 Goodness. This really puts all my worries to rest, Akiho will truly be happy. And it makes total sense that CLAMP made him say this now, and not at the end of chapter 80. As I said, more time was needed. This entire scene leaves me with a sweet, soft, comfortable feeling, and it's totally how I've always imagined their relationship to be. Also....no more of that "he loves her as a daughter/sister" crap, not canon-wise at least. 😊

One last thing I have to point out about this scene, which curiously reconnects everything together, is that recently CLAMP have announced the themes to which their upcoming exhibition will revolve around: among them, there's LOVE (of course!), and among the decorations surrounding the featured character on the key visual (Sakura, for now, but there's at least another one coming!) there are a couple of birds too. Birds are, in this sense, a symbol of love in CLAMP's language. I couldn't really help but noticing all the birds flying outside the window next to Akiho, the moment Kaito says that "the moon is really beautiful, right?". Basically, CLAMP were trying to scream it all over the place, however they could. 😂

"Momo-san?!"

It was so nice to see Yukito and Kero-chan gossiping about Touya right in his face, with the complete intention to tease him 😂in that sense, Yukito really seems like a sweet and harmless character, but don't be fooled! His teasing power is over 9000!! 😂Touya's killing glare made me crack up! He's so done for, now that both Kero and Yukito can tease him in the open! 😂😂😂

But please, please, let me scream about MOMO!!! Oh my god I would've never accepted a special chapter that didn't feature her!! Aaaaahhh I'm so glad to see that she's fine 🥲 The conversation between her and Sakura made clear to me that she isn't that free to move how I imagined her to be. Certainly, she decides where to go and who the book stays with (and when to leave), but the impartiality imposed on her role doesn't allow her to act freely like she wants, unless she pays a price. And she decided to pay a price, not to see Akiho and Kaito, but to go and thank Sakura herself first. Because, as her "those kids" suggests, she of course still feels some kind of maternal instinct towards them, and as any mother would do, she wants to thank Sakura from the bottom of her heart for having helped and saved those two. Even her body language (the position of her hands) portrays that. And excuse me, but I A B S O L U T E L Y loved how CLAMP clarified once and for all, addressing directly the complaints of their own fandom, that Sakura wasn't forcingly dragged into a matter that wasn't related to her. Everything she did, she decided to do it because she felt it touched her personally. From the moment she became Akiho's friend and came to care for her, everything that happened and everything that she was involved with was related to her too. This wasn't "somebody else's business" anymore. Because Akiho is one of her most beloved friends, no matter how "fast" that happened. Some relationships bloom almost immediately, because the connection is just that strong. And so, this turned into just another expression of "your happiness is my happiness", with Sakura acting according to what her heart suggested. As Kaito is Akiho's most beloved person, Sakura couldn't help but care for him too, because doing so would've made her friend happy, in a wonderful "circulation of love".

Special mention for the scene with pregnant Lilie, oh my god I didn't really expect this either. How long ago I wrote that Tumblr post about cosmos flowers and the origin of Akiho's name? A couple of weeks ago? It's like CLAMP answered my curiosity, with this scene. I still keep my interpretation in my heart, but I also love the logic "it is a flower that keeps the same name in many countries". Of course. "Wherever you'll go, you'll always be your unique self". (And now I want to cry, mama's heart is so big😭) The way Lilie keeps her hands over her womb made me tear up. The ring isn't there anymore, a sign that she probably already gave it to Momo (understandably, since once Akiho would be born, she wouldn't really have much time left). The baby bump isn't that noticeable, probably because she's at the beginning of her pregnancy. Who knows if she kept seeing little Kaito while she was pregnant. 🥲Who knows if in the scene where she's telling him about how wonderful it is to have something you love, especially a person, she was already pregnant with Akiho. 🥲

Momo and Sakura's final words made me understand that Momo cannot go back to Akiho and Kaito till the circumstances and the moment is right. Whether it depends on Akiho's wish, or the right cosmic arrangement, it's surely not in the short term. Especially considering the limited scope of Momo's agency. It cannot come from Momo (unless she pays a huge price), it needs to come from them, strongly enough. I also want to think that, again as an acquired mother figure, Momo wants those two to find their own way, identity and figure out their relationship on their own, without her interference. I'm sure she's keeping an eye on them from faraway, though. 🥲Even though this still feels bittersweet because I wanted to see them reuniting in canon so badly, it gave me lots of hope for the future. Momo is just waiting for the right moment, and she'll be ready to embrace them when the time is right. Maybe, who knows, we'll see that reunion in another series or in a special publication in the future?

The End

And then....the final scene 🥲NOW it is finally clear what Ohkawa meant in that one Twitter Space, when she mentioned that there was a reason why they never featured Sakura's birthday!!! THEY NEEDED TO KEEP THE EXCLUSIVITY FOR THIS!! 😂 I'm so glad they did, really...it's so sweet to see her reaching 14 years old (the "standard age" of many shoujo heroines! 😂) and seeing Syaoran giving her a present, with that strikingly sweet smile full of love...but most importantly....the breathtaking final double spread 🥲🥲🥲🥲 The way she pulls his hand close to her chest, to her heart, while saying that Syaoran will be forever and ever her most important and special person.....really, this chapter is meant to k*ll us all with feels!🥲and I love how CLAMP keep finding ways to portray their physical displays of affection without resorting to the classic, most wanted (but also probably considered not appropriate yet) "kiss". The very final page is a direct parallel of a page from chapter one, where Sakura was going to school alone and looked back down the street to admire the cherry blossoms in full bloom.

Now, she's not alone anymore, but actually hugging the love of her life on her special day! Really, what a wonderful and fulfilling way to give the final touch to this amazing story! 🥲 Her very last line also contributed to this. Sakura leaves us again, 24 years after the first ending, with words of positivity for the future, and love for her important people. This wraps everything up nicely, but it still keeps things quite "open-ended", hopefully in the eventuality to return to this wonderful series in the future. Sakura is growing up, as CLAMP wished, and it might be possible to see her dealing with more "grown-up" situations, magic and non-magic wise. But one thing is for sure, her relationship with her loved ones will always take top priority. ❤️

Well well well, we came to the end of this looooooong commentary for this special chapter too. I can't help but thank once again all of you who followed my posts all these years, and commented with your POVs on the story.

As I've said multiple times, Cardcaptor Sakura gave me so much ever since I was a kid, and this sequel was no exception. This special chapter, in particular, overflowed with things I wanted to see, and I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking so. I once again want to congratulate CLAMP for wrapping everything up nicely, and thank them from the bottom of my heart for these almost 8 years of emotional journey. 🙏

See you around with my other tumblr posts, and let's look forward to the release of volume 16 on April 1st, and hopefully, news about the anime sequel of Clear Card!!

[ (Special) Chapter: Sweet Surprises]

Muichiro Tokitou x Reader

Summary: And as the night wore on, the moon casting its soft glow upon them, Y/n couldn't help but feel that this birthday would be one she would remember for years to come—a celebration of love and connection.

Wattpad: [KNY Fanfiction] (One shots) Tokito Muichiro x Reader

Archive: Kimetsu No Yaiba: Tokitou Muichiro x Reader Master list: ♠ Information ♠

It's a special chapter celebrating my birthday; 05.25.23. I couldn't post it on the exact date as I got busier during the day.

If you guys ever found the link to the artist's profile please do tell me- The art does not belong to me, credits to the rightful owner.

As Y/n sat in her dimly lit room, the atmosphere seemed heavy with the weight of her weariness. The ticking clock on the wall echoed in her ears, further adding to her annoyance. She longed for a change of scenery, to escape the confines of her room and find inspiration elsewhere.

Leaning on her study table, Y/n placed her elbow down and rested her chin on her palm, her gaze fixed on the moonlight streaming in through the window. The moon shone brightly against the darkened sky, its soft glow casting an ethereal ambiance in the room. The absence of stars only accentuated the moon's prominence, leaving Y/n with a sense of solitude.

Her tired eyes reflected a lack of motivation, a weariness that seeped into her very being. The stack of notebooks and papers on her table, filled with meticulous notes and reviewers, served as a constant reminder of the tasks and responsibilities that awaited her. Yet, in that moment, they seemed mundane and uninspiring.

Y/n yearned for something more, a spark to reignite her passion and drive. She craved a break from the monotony, a chance to escape the confines of her room and explore the world beyond. The silence in the room was only broken by the faint rustling of pages and an occasional sigh that escaped her lips.

As the sound of her alarm clock pierced the stillness of the room, Y/n's gaze shifted from the moonlit night to the digital numbers glowing on the clock. The realization struck her: it was her birthday. A mix of emotions flooded her thoughts, ranging from excitement to disappointment.

She couldn't help but pout, feeling a sense of frustration at the timing of her special day. While she longed to celebrate and indulge in the joyous moments that birthdays bring, her responsibilities and the stack of papers and reviewers demanded her attention. The weight of her work seemed to press down on her shoulders, overshadowing the potential festivities that awaited her.

‘If I had a dollar in every sigh, I’d be a millionaire by now.’ She whimsically thought.

As Y/n rested her head on the table, her frown deepened, and the pout remained plastered on her face. She felt trapped in a cycle of monotony and responsibilities, unable to fully embrace the joy she desired on her birthday. The weight of disappointment lingered, threatening to dampen her spirits further.

Just as she reached a momentary state of resignation, her thoughts were abruptly interrupted by a distinct knock at her window. The unexpected sound jolted her out of her reverie, and her eyes snapped open, searching for the source of the disturbance.

Uncertain if her ears were playing tricks on her, she cautiously approached the window, her steps hesitant. With a gentle pull of the curtain, she revealed the outside world, hoping to identify the cause of the persistent noise.

To her surprise, there stood Muichiro, his head slightly tilted as he peered in from the other side of the window. Y/n's eyes widened in astonishment, a mix of confusion and recognition crossing her face. She blinked, momentarily speechless, before a smile of recognition slowly formed. Muichiro, finding a way to bring a touch of excitement to her birthday.

Despite her room being on the second floor, Muichiro had effortlessly and silently climbed the tree near her window, determined to surprise her. His presence alone was enough to uplift her spirits and infuse a sense of wonder into her mundane day.

With a sense of curiosity, Y/n opened the window, allowing Muichiro to enter. As he gracefully made his way into the room. “Mui, what are you doing here? It’s already midnight y’know.”

"Exactly," Muichiro replied, a hint of amusement in his voice as he brushed off a few stray leaves and branches that clung to his jacket. His thoughtful gesture of bringing a box of donuts and beverages made Y/n's eyes sparkle with delight. Sweet treats had always been a welcome remedy to her lack of motivation, and Muichiro's company added an extra layer of warmth to the moment.

Y/n couldn't help but appreciate the considerate gesture, her gaze fixated on the box of donuts as her mouth watered in anticipation. The aroma of freshly baked goods filled the air, mingling with the faint scent of ink and paper that permeated her room.

Seeing this; Muichiro’s soft chuckle resonated in the room, echoing Y/n's excitement. He carefully laid the delectable treats and drinks on her study table, making sure to create some space by gently pushing aside her notebooks and papers.

With a grateful smile, Y/n joined Muichiro, sitting at her bed. The mundane papers and reviewers temporarily forgotten; they now had a moment to savor the sweetness of the occasion. It was as if the donuts represented a metaphorical break from the seriousness of their responsibilities, allowing them to indulge in a brief respite.

The room, once filled with weariness and boredom, now transformed into a cozy haven, filled with laughter, sugary treats, and the comfort. “Mui, thanks for bringing these treats, I really appreciate it.”

“No worries, I figured you needed it.” He patted the bedsheet, inviting Y/n to sit in front of him. With a smile, she eagerly complied, positioning herself in a comfortable spot. Muichiro wrapped his arms around her waist, drawing her close in a tender embrace. Resting his head on her shoulder, he exuded a sense of comfort and safety.

Y/n could feel his warm breath against her shoulder, a ticklish sensation that elicited a soft chuckle from her lips. In response, she lovingly caressed his head, relishing the intimate moment they shared.

“Y/n.” Muichiro called out from behind.

“Hmm?” Y/n kept her gaze forward, awaiting Muichiro's continuation.

She was caught off guard by the sensation of his hand grazing her neck. His touch brought a cooling sensation, yet it ignited warmth within her. He gently pushed back strands of her hair, gathering them in one spot, revealing her spotless porcelain neck.

In a moment filled with tenderness and intimacy, Muichiro lovingly kissed her neck, sending shivers coursing through Y/n's entire body. Her cheeks flushed a deep shade of red, taken aback by the sudden display of affection. She felt a mixture of surprise, delight, and a hint of embarrassment at the intensity of her response.

Muichiro's whisper, deliberately warm against her ear, broke through the silence. "Happy birthday, Y/n," he murmured, his words laced with a bit of tease.

Despite her face being flushed with a maddening red, Y/n turned to him, her gaze a mixture of light glare and a playful pout. Muichiro, in response, gave her an innocent smile, his intention clear in wanting to convey his feelings through his actions.

“So, what? That’s your gift to me?” Y/n's pout remained, her attempt to regain composure and appear unaffected by Muichiro's intimate gesture falling short as her blush betrayed her true emotions. She questioned him with a hint of skepticism.

Muichiro, still wearing a gentle smile, shook his head in response. His laughter, soft and captivating as always, filled the room, creating a warm and playful atmosphere. Y/n couldn't help but feel a mixture of curiosity and uncertainty at his reaction.

"Of course not," he reassured her, his voice carrying a genuine sincerity. His smile seemed almost too innocent to be true, causing her to withdraw slightly and furrow her brows, cautious of his intentions. Her mind couldn't help but wonder if he had ulterior motives or impure thoughts in mind.

But Muichiro's laughter only grew, observing Y/n's cautious behavior. He could see the flicker of doubt and concern in her eyes, and it amused him in an endearing way. He laughed softly once again, his laughter like a melody that washed away any lingering tension.

"Come here." Muichiro invited, patting the bed once again. Y/n's eyes held a trace of doubt as she looked at him, unsure of what to expect. Muichiro responded with a small, reassuring smile, hoping to alleviate her concerns. "I won't do anything else." He assured her gently.

Hesitant but curious, Y/n cautiously took a seat, preparing herself for whatever surprise awaited her. To her surprise, she found herself once again met with Muichiro's gentle hands on her neck. This time, however, a different sensation greeted her—a cool touch of metal encircling her skin.

Her eyes shifted to her collarbone, and there, hanging delicately, was a beautiful pendant. Its intricate design and shimmering presence caught her attention, mesmerizing her. The pendant held a certain allure, and Y/n couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and appreciation for the thoughtful gift.

She reached up, lightly touching the pendant with her fingertips, tracing the contours of its design. Its presence on her neck brought a sense of elegance and grace to her appearance, reminding her of the special bond she shared with Muichiro.

“It’s beautiful…” Y/n's voice was filled with awe as she admired the beautiful pendant adorning her neck. The words escaped her lips softly, expressing her appreciation for the thoughtful gift. She couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth and happiness knowing that Muichiro had chosen something so special for her.

“There’s my gift.” Muichiro leaned closer, gently parting Y/n's hair bangs with his fingers. His affectionate gesture caused her heart to flutter, and she felt a surge of anticipation. As he drew near, he pressed a loving kiss upon her forehead, his lips lingering for a moment. The tenderness of the gesture spoke volumes. “Happy birthday, Y/n.”

Prologue Previous

Come Down That Tree! (An aftermare story)

Chapter special:  Dream’s takeover!

HEY! YOU, YEAH YOU! I’m taking over this chapter, xoxo. Dream.

“Hello there~

You may know me as Dream! Or maybe “one of the guardians of feelings”? “The positive one”? “The ultimate helper around town”? 

I’ve been called many things: “Dreamcatcher”, “Sunray”, “hey you”, “Princess Sunshine”, “strong bony guy”… 

And my favorite, I do not get to hear it often, “brother” or “twin”!

Because I am a brother and a twin to the other known guardian of feelings (yes we’re two on the job), the very purple-clothed Nightmare!

Well, if you’re from around here, you probably already know that? 

Oooor maybe you’re from far away and still new to this?

Let me tell you a bit about me, this village and my other half!

I should start at the beginning.

You see, Night’ and me? We were fully aware of our duty right after our creation. Our mother barely had time to whisper the story before she fully fused with the tree we now guard! Why did she do that? It’s a bit of a gruesome tale, let’s leave that for now… 

So, we twins, were borned spirits, bodiless and so full of the apples’ energy (the tree of feelings is an apple tree, isn’t that funny? Why not a cherry tree? I like cherries a lot…), acquired our body in the form of a skeleton monster’s shape and got released into the world!

I learned later that babies aren’t supposed to already know how to walk and talk and had to wait a few years sometimes to be as tall as we started our lives as. But then, it was just the way it was. We aren’t built quite the same as others.

We’re guardians.

We met the first villagers five years later (or so Nightmare says, I was bad at numbers then) and it was a whole experience.

They approached us very carefully, asking permission to settle down down the hill, promising they wouldn’t touch our treasure and would show us things we never saw before.

They offered us food and clothes and stories and many other things we did not know the use of. You see, our inane vocabulary stopped at what our mother knew about and even then, we lacked any true understanding (and genuine interest) about most stuff we grew up without.

I was very wary of these men back then and let my twin do aaaall the talk. So more useless words spoken, incredibly worthless compared to shouts of delight running through the long grass, compared to the low song of the stars twinkling high and compared to the earable pressure of one hand in another when the sun rises…

I despised those men. They were loud, foreign and constantly disrupting the peace of the forest nearby. But Nightmare was fascinated…and kept reaching out, delighted by the new knowledge he could gain from chatting with some and in his new favorite toys, books.

So I reached out as well, once the first children came around. I appreciated having new friends to run around and learning new games was nice. The beginning was slightly bumpy when I realized none were that interested in the games I enjoyed before meeting them. 

But despite that, they somehow grew on me fast.

I liked that period. The villagers started to bow less and dropped the formal titles the kids didn’t wait to ditch. I played all day, sometimes with Nighty, sometimes without him, and when the sun set, we’d cuddle against the tree, my twin reading aloud a story book and I’d always fall asleep right through it, dreaming of half tales (when our mother wouldn’t lurk around my sleepy mind).

Books really always were my brother’s thing, isn’t it?

Thankfully, nobody snitched on the fact yet I’m still awful at reading anything more complicated than market panels… Nightmare would never let me leave without running me through horrible classes once again. 

I’m not study-smart, ok?

The switch in attitude happened somewhere between the second and third wave of travelers joining the rapidly expanding I think.

I didn’t notice anything. One day, we would happily run together around half-built houses… The very next, we started walking very different paths.

I was always running down the streets and he always stayed put at the tree, claiming reading was more interesting or that he would go later.

I didn’t notice how fast we drifted away. I never really knew if something somehow got between us or just if that was the fate of two brothers with divergent interests…

Ugh, maybe that void where a strong connection had once been was one of the reasons I had such a miserable phase of experimenting things with people they claimed would “make me happy” but we’re… not talking about that!

At this point, you might start to wonder why I’m telling you all this?

I just wanted to talk about something with you that happened recently in my life, in our life, that I have mixed feelings about and I believe some context was needed!

And that conversation stays between us! I trust you.

So…

A season ago or so (I never said I got that much better at numbers, do not look at me like that), I dragged a homeless unconscious guy back home. 

Now, it doesn’t sound very good, said like that, but how can someone fall on what looks fairly similar to your build, all passed out on the dirt and not think “I must drag him to my tree?”

I know I’m right, now next thing.

I’m an hospitable guy so when I see no one is going to give a stray a home downtown, of course I tell him he can put his butt in my spot of grass!

I didn’t really take into account that allowing a stranger in our home would upset Nightmare and, that, maybe is at least part my fault for dumping that poor guy here…

I think, however, that Geno was a needed change in our life.

Maybe a dangerous change, teetering along the line of good and bad ideas each day something happened…

But despite the fear and confusion after those few “accidents”, I can’t deny Nightmare’s true smile, I missed him.

I’m worried however.

No amount of aweing at surprising them sleeping close or sharing stupidly sweet moments can take away the fact, the village’s atmosphere is more… sour than usual.

Especially since the last (bad) event! 

Last verflor festival, I went with Nightmare in the village with the objective of making the most of the day and sweeping some flowers to redecorate our mother’s scar. It didn’t go as planned. 

I lost Nightmare in the crowd when I got swept away by the music and the playful offers of dance by the local children. 

Maybe the fact I got used to waltzing alone around there is the main reason it took me so long to notice the devastating absence. Or that old couple dominating the place with their dance was that good.

Regardless of the reason, I let go of his hand and wandered alone.

In fact, while I was a smidge anxious when I noticed… I thought he’d be fine and that he’d probably just go back to the tree first! 

That maybe he’d pout at me for leaving him and after some banter, we’d tell our day to Geno and all!

That’s not what happened.

And you know that, don’t you?

I searched around for a moment but I kept getting robbed into activities or helping (something that strangely did not happen when I was still holding Night’s hand).

The sun was already down before I managed to flee back home, energy buzzing at the thought of finding my missing brother).

I was right about one thing.

I did find him here.

Small and shaky, curled up in Geno’s arms.

I was welcomed by a hard glare from our guest and cruel silence.

They both refused to tell me what happened and I didn’t insist.

I felt guilty enough like that.

It’s been some time since then.

Things are more or less back to normal.

I’m not stupid however…

And I do not like the dots I’m starting to connect.”

End of chapter 18... Go to chapter 19?

[ENG] Atarashii Joushi wa Dotennen (My New Boss is Goofy) Vol. 2 SP3: Kinjou-kun’s Insta

As a change of pace from posting GakuBaby stuff (and also me putting in some practice on using GIMP lol), here’s a special chapter from volume 2 of Atarashii Joushi wa Dotennen.

In this chapter, Kinjou talks about his Insta posts, and looks back on the workplace abuse he experienced from his former boss.

Read after the cut, or get it here.

I hope you enjoy, even if it’s different from my usual posts. Thank you ☺️

——————

Haijima’s in the gray, so I guess there’s still hope for him to change for the better. Kurono’s (Momose’s ex-boss) personality is already pitch black, so I guess he’s irredeemable 😅

(And yes the characters’ names all have colors in them 😆)

HTSM Special Chapter

Happy new year! May 2023 be your best year yet!

Here's a short little announcement for any of those interested: a new, special chapter (and first) of How to Steal Moonlight is going to be posted tonight!

It contains ZERO spoilers for HTSS, so if you haven't brought yourself to read the finale there yet (looking at you, @miksancheese lol) no stress, you won't run into anything spoiler-like here.

Hope you are all doing well, I seriously miss you guys. Have a very happy new year, and I hope to hear from you soon. Happy reading!

lil' excerpt from "How I Met My Arsonist" below

Edging out of the rubble, the man appears maybe ten feet away. The dull light from a street lamp illuminates the way the curve of his nose meets the sharpness of his eyes.

Sharp. Guarded.

Beautiful.

The word rattles you more than you'd care to admit, so you clear your throat and try to picture what he'd look like with cilantro in his teeth. That usually helps.

"Well," he says, gesturing around as if to say, you've found me, idiot.

"Well," you echo unwillingly. "Erm. Are you Seokjin?"

★彡pairing(s)彡★ : gamer!heeseung × gamer!fem!reader

★彡genre彡★ : slice of life, crack, smau, strangers to lovers, romance, fluff, comedy

★彡warning(s)彡★ : profanity, cringe, heeseung is a perv!, lots of gaming references esp. league, NSFW

★彡based on彡★ : real life! fun fact: this is actually how me and my long-term boyfriend met — with some modifications.

★彡a/n彡★ : as always, reblogs, likes, and comments are always very much appreciated. feel free to give me your feedback and critique.

Truthfully speaking, becoming your boyfriend doesn't feel any different from how the two of you were back then when you were just flirting with each other online. The two of you still tease, mock, and throw dirty comments at each other whenever and wherever you two were Albeit, you guys were shy at first, not being used to having the other person directly front of you when you tell them phrases like "Shut the fuck up before I slap my d*ck across your forehead" — you mostly said this phrase by the way. But within a short span of three days, the two of you have effortlessly surpassed it and can now do it shamelessly in front of the other.

For the record, after the two of you had your long awaited first kiss with each other, Lee Heeseung had been pronounced from then on to be your boyfriend. Now, along with obtaining the prestigious title of being YN's boyfriend there comes various responsibilities and tasks that he must uphold. You're proud to say that within the time that the two of you have been officially together, Lee Heeseung has effortlessly carried out all of these tasks and resolved any kind of conflict that's come his way.

Lee Heeseung had fulfilled all of them seamlessly — even doing extra little side tasks here and there to gain extra love points from you. 

For example, he always accompanies you wherever you go. If you want to go shopping, he'll take you to a store he likes, sometimes even paying for all your purchases even with you protesting in the background that you can pay for it yourself.  He listens to you you you talk about your favorite teen romance comedy drama. He lets you rant about ehat irritates you and then hugging you after. He takes you on picnic dates, goes to watch movies with you, holds your hand, everything! You name it, Lee Heeseung, your official boyfriend, has most likely done it.

Actually, now that you think about it, there is something Heeseung hasn't done yet.

And that is to meet your parents!

Well, it's just 'parent' without the s.

"YN… I don't think I can do this." Heeseung confesses nervously from beside you. 

After a successful day spent with Heeseung out at the river, you had decided that after 3 weeks into your relationship that today is finally the day that you should introduce him to your mother. And so, here you two are, standing in front of your porch, fulfilling your mothers request to have dinner with the both of you.

Releasing a sigh, you squeeze Heeseungs hand that had been permanently wrapped around yours in assurance as you try to ease the tension in his jittery body. "It'll be fine, bambi. My mom will love you." You say, giving him a smile in order to somewhat calm his nerves. "I'm pretty sure she already does, if I'm being honest."

As much as Heeseung wanted to reciprocate the sweet smile you gave him, he can't. He's too caught up in his own doubts to ever smile as comfortably as you're doing right now. 

"B-but what if—"

"Too late!" You cut off, suddenly ringing the doorbell to your house.

It doesn't even take a minute for the door to open, revealing the image of your mother wearing a plain white apron, a chefs hat, and a spatula grasped in her hands. 

"Mom, Hi!" You greet, pulling your mother in for a warm hug and releasing the hold you had on Heeseungs hand. "I want you to meet someone actually. Mom, this is Hee— Heeseung?" You call out, cutting yourself off as you search for your boyfriend who's not by your side anymore but instead, hiding behind you like a scared child facing an ominous stranger.

"Oh? Is that Heeseung?" Your mother asks, craning her head to the side to peek at the boy who's eyes were shyly darting from your mothers figure and to the ground.

"Hello... Miss?" He trails off, waving shyly, trying to give her a charming smile but instead, looked as if he was constipated.

"Aww" She coos. Everything Heeseung does— even merely just standing there, seems to make your mom squeal, gushing about how adorable he was being. 

You can't blame her really. With your boyfriend peeking over your shoulder, his bambi eyes wide, and a nervous smile spread across his lips you won't lie to yourself that you've been wanting to squish his cheeks in the palm of your hands multiple times because of how cute he always looked. You know that this is only one of the many auras Heeseung has. Your mother just doesn't know the hot side of him. "Just call me Mom." She winks at your boyfriend.

Rolling your eyes at your mothers antics, you give your mother a chance to look at Heeseung now that you aren't covering him anymore. The boy looked shy and he felt small under your mothers gaze, resembling a child even though to you, your mother wasn't radiating any sort of intimidating aura like she would whenever you would go to introduce her to your past boyfriends.

"Ah YN, He's adorable!" She squeals, pushing past you to give your boyfriend a big hug. In shock, Heeseung stumbles a bit, not expecting your mother to warm up to him immediately. You, on the other hand, weren't shocked to see the action coming from her at all because unlike the others, your mother loved Heeseung even before she had met him. You're not so certain why. You can only guess that it's because he's the only one who actually treated you right. "Come in. The two of you!" She ushers the both of you inside.

Heeseung follows behind you as he steps inside the warm comfort of your home. It's completely different from his dorm to say the least. Constantly being surrounded by other teenage boys close to his age means that there's always some sort of mess somewhere like clothes being piled up in a corner or dishes that were carelessly left unwashed. The younger boys weren't exactly a nightmare to live with per se. He finds comfort inside their cramped dorm because there, he always has his friends to play with, talk to, and spend his free time with. 

In contrast, your house is clean and organised. Taking his shoes off before sitting on the couch right beside you like you told him too. Inside your living room is a normal sized TV, the news playing a little bit too loud for Heeseungs taste but it was understandable since your mother wanted to hear it all the way to the kitchen where she was currently finishing up the dishes she was preparing. There's a small coffee table in the middle of the room as well as a fuzzy white rug underneath it. Heeseung fingers itch, trying to fight the urge to run his fingers childishly through it.

Being the observant girlfriend that you are, you notice this, making you cover your mouth to hide your snickers.

"Heeseung," You call out, lacing your hands with his like before. "Are you feeling okay?"

"Y-yeah I'm good. Just still a llittle nervous that's all." He chuckles awkwardly.

"It's nothing to be nervous about, Hee. My mom literally adores you. I'd even say she likes you more than me at this point since she talks about wanring to see you so much."

Hearing this, Heeseungs tilts his head at you in interest. "Really? What does she say about me?" He asks, face leaning dangerously close to yours and a smirk playing on his lips— the usual expression he would wear when he's teasing you. 

"How much you stink." You deadpan, shoving his face away with your hand, slightly afraid that your mother might see the two of you.

'Don't get me wrong, I love it when he does this but I'm not risking my mother seeing and then teasing me about it afterwards'

Heeseung whines at that, shaking your hands that were threaded with his in protest. "Tell me~"

Rolling your eyes, you smile at how cute your boyfriend's being. Even when he acts childish like this, you can't ever seem to be mad at him. "Nothing really. She's just been bugging me a lot about you lately. Saying how she's so glad her daughter finally has a functional boyfriend. How handsome you are. How nice you are yada yada."

"How did she know what I looked like before?" He asks. "Did you show her pictures of me, huh, YN?" He teases.

And he's right, you have shown your mother multiple images of Heeseung, even going as far as to tell him how pretty his voice sounded and how hot he looked whenever he danced. But of course, Heeseung can never know any of those or else, it'll be the end of you and a start to his endless teasing.

So you dismiss him, telling him that she happened to have seen a picture of him on your phone while the two of you were texting. Heeseung doesn't seem to buy it but nods his head nonetheless as your mother calls out to the both of you, telling you that dinner is ready.

The both of you make the short trip towards your kitchen, telling Heeseung to sit down while you and your mother prepare the table, much to his protests.

As you were reaching up to grab the plates for the top shelf, your mother appears beside you, smiling knowingly. "YN, the both of you are so cute!" She gushes, bumping her hips with yours.

"Ow, Mom." You whine. "You were looking?" You ask to which she replies with an eager nod. "That's so embarrassing."

"How can I not look?! It was adorable, really." She assures you. "Finally, you found a decent man."

"Hey, my other boyfriends weren't that bad."

Your mother gives you a look and you feel a little afraid as she looks like she's about to throw the silverware that she's got at you. "Really? Your first boyfriend made you a side hoe and your second one only dated you because he's a weeb and he thought you looked like an anime girl he liked."

"Jheez, Mom. Didn't need to get so personal there." You say, rolling your eyes as you secure the plates in your arms. Walking back towards the dining table, you place the plates on top of the mats, smiling warmly at your boyfriend when the two of you make eye contact and sitting down at the opposite side of him once you are done. 

From the kitchen, your mother reappears, placing a hot pot filled with what seemed to be curry and Heeseung bows gratefully at her as she sits down at the head of the table. 

"Mom, this looks so good." You gush, excitedly picking up the ladle to pour some curry for yourself when your mother suddenly slaps your hand away. She looks at you and her eyes dart from Heeseung and then to the curry, silently gesturing for you to pour some for him first. Seeing the exchange, Heeseung tries to hide laughter with a thank you as you do what your mother tells you too with a frown.

As the three of them start eating, Heeseung eyes turn up to look at you and then your mother. He can't help but notice the multiple similarities that the two of you share— not only your features but your mannerisms were alike as well.

Like Heeseungs thoughts have said. You're a spitting image of your mother and she's a spitting image of hers. Even after all she's been through, she still stands lively as if her youth didn't pass by a second as she was raising you all alone. 

When you were being born and your mother was in the delivery room, your father had gotten involved in a car accident and died on the spot as he was on his way to the hospital. As your mother was pushing you out, she was cursing your father for being late once again. Your father had a bad habit of being late for everything, your mother told you one time when she was sharing stories about their relationship to you. Sadly, your mother caught the news that he was dead after she had successfully delivered you by herself. Knowing how hard it's been for her to raise you without her other half, you were reluctant to leave her alone in South Korea without anyone to stay by her side and assist her. However, she always prodded you to go and chase your dreams, supporting you no matter what. And so, eventually, with a lot of persuasion coming from your mother, you went off on your own journey in Australia.

"So, Heeseung," Your mother starts, quickly gaining the attention of both of you. Her face is in a semi serious manner. However, you can only smile to yourself at your mothers obvious act to try and make Heeseung nervous for absolutely no reason when she knew how much the boy was nervous. "How has YN been treating you so far?"

The potato that you were chewing gets spat out in an unladylike manner once you hear your mothers words. "Mom!" You squint your eyes at her, watching as she bursts out laughing as she points at the chunk of potatoes scattered across the dining table. "What do you mean 'How has YN been treating you'?! May I remind you that you are my mother and not his?!"

Still in a state of laughter, "I-I'm sorry, dear. I just co-couldn't he-e-lp it. Look at him being so nervous!" Your mom says, struggling to talk straight as her laughter continues.

With that, Heeseung finally loosens his tensed body, permitting himself to laugh as he looks at the chewed up piece of potato laying in his place. He checks to see if your mother was staring at him. When he sees that her eyes are still closed whilst laughing, he looks you in the eye, picking up the piece of your food that landed on his plate and then eating it afterwards. He manages to do all of this while putting on a straight face and you applaud him for that. However, that doesn't stop you from cringing at his antics. So, you throw a small bulk of rice at him, laughing as he tries to dodge it.

"Well, now that I think of it, Mom," He smirks at you but his voice falters a bit at the end, still shy about using the name. "YN hasn't been treating me all too well these days." He pouts. This apparently shuts your mother up, as she tilts her head in confusion, silently telling the boy to elaborate and continue. "You see, your daughters been calling me many hurtful names recently."

Both you and your mothers eyes go wide as you immediately tell your mom that it isn't true but she doesn't seem to believe you at the moment as she continues to pierce you with her hawk-like gaze. "That is not true! Mom, do not believe a word coming out from him."

"Mom, it's true." He says, fakely wiping the non-existent tear that left his eyes as he gripped his chest as if his heart was wounded. "She kept on telling me how stupid I am and that she's ashamed of being with me"

"YN," Your mother gasps. "Why would you say such a thing?!"

"First of all! I only called him stupid because he kept on inting my rank games. And second, that was me just being sarcastic!"

"Still, you hurt the poor boy." Your mother reasons out, getting out of her seat and hugging your boyfriends shoulders from the back to console him as he continues to carry out his pained act. "YN, say sorry and that you love him." She says in a stern voice.

Wearing a victorious smirk on his face, you glare at your boyfriend. "Never!"

"You will." She orders.

"Why should I?! It's not my fault he can only play one champion properly!" You protest, stomping your feet under the table.

"Hey!" Your boyfriend screams. "Take that back!"

"Agreed, YN. I don't know what you guys are talking about but take it back." 

"Granny." you mutter under your breath.

"What was that?" She asks, raising an eyebrow at you in speculation, daring for you to repeat what you had just called her.

"Nothing." You grumble, folding your arms to show that you were angry before sighing comically as you rolled your eyes. "I l—love you, Heeseung…" You blush. "and… Sike! Bitch, you thought! Get better at the game, loser"
