Ryoma's Short Story from the Manyo no Shou Special Edition Booklet

This is the last short story from the booklet, and it's the only story that does not take place at the Nishi Hongan-ji Temple.

Sorry that I cannot find a way of translating the Tosa dialect of Ryoma in English though :(

This SS was written by 長野 和泉

(I went back later than I thought. I wonder if Chizuru is already asleep.) 

Under the dim light of the paper lanterns that floated in the darkness, I hurried towards the inn where I was staying with the person who interested me the most right now –– Yukimura Chizuru. 

We were traveling together to the east, gathering information while chasing after our former friend, Nakaoka Shintaro, who had turned into a fury. 

(If she’s asleep, it would be rude to wake her up.) 

I arrived in front of our room and opened the sliding door carefully, trying not to make any noise. 

And then…

“Ah… Ryoma-san. Welcome back.” 

Chizuru greeted me in a clear voice and with a smile. It seemed that she was doing some mending. She had a sewing box that she apparently borrowed from the hostess of the inn. 

“I didn’t expect that you’d be up at this hour. Didn’t you feel sleepy while waiting for me? You could have gone to bed first.” 

“No, not at all. I was just so taken up by the needlework that I didn’t notice time passing.” 

“Really?” 

“Yes, really.” 

She answered with a troubled smile while deftly tying up the loose threads, and then she stuck the needle into the pincushion.

But right after that, a tiny yawn escaped from her lovely lips.

“Ah…” 

“See, I know you feel tired. ” 

As I said that, I wrapped my arms lightly around her slender shoulders. 

She seemed embarrassed and shrank back. 

“Anyways, thank you. You must have been holding back your fatigue and waiting for me until this late.” 

“…!” 

Chizuru wasn’t used to being hugged by a man like this, and her body stiffened. But she didn’t seem to hate it, and when I gently traced along her shoulders with my palm, she seemed to relax a bit. 

At this distance, where we could feel each other’s breath and the slightest movements of our lips, she was clearly bewildered. After a while, she looked at me hesitantly. 

“But… Ryoma-san, you’ve been reckless lately, and I’m worried about you.” 

There was not a hint of a lie in her eyes. 

From her eyes and her words, I could tell that she was overflowing with concern and care for me. 

(To be worried about by a woman like this, it’s a man’s dream come true… )

With these thoughts in my mind, I stroked Chizuru’s hair gently while still holding her shoulders. 

“I’m sorry for making you worry. There’s a lot to do tomorrow too, so let’s go to bed soon.” 

As I urged her, I could feel Chizuru’s slender shoulders twitch under my palms. Her eyes, which looked at me intently a while ago, wavered with anxiety. 

“What’s wrong? Are you scared?”

Then she shook her head frantically, looking nervous. 

“N-no, that’s not the case…! I know very well that Sakamoto-san is not the kind of person who would do something strange without a woman’s consent.” 

“That’s right, you understand me well. I wouldn’t bother with a woman who doesn’t love me.” 

After saying that, I stared into Chizuru’s eyes. And then, I added this. 

“…Well, I do think you’ve come to love me a lot more than when we first met.” 

Then Chizuru’s cheeks turned all red in an instant. 

“H-how can you be so confident! I never said anything like that…!” 

“I said ‘compared to when we first met’, didn’t I? I’ll lay out the futon, so please wait for me.” 

She was fun to watch with her exaggerated reactions. I thought to myself as I got up. 

“Ryoma-san, I can lay out the futon…” 

“Don’t worry about it. Leave this to me. You can just go and change into your nightgown.” 

“But…” 

“You’ve been waiting for me all day, and you must feel rather lonely. So let me do the chores for you.” 

Chizuru thought for a while, but she must have realized that it was meaningless to refuse any more. 

“Then… thank you for your kindness. I’ll be right back.”

After bowing her head slightly, she left the room to change into her nightgown. 

After we both changed our clothes, we turned off the light and went to bed. 

“Good night, Chizuru. Have a sweet dream.” 

“Good night.” 

Chizuru’s voice from the futon next to me sounded relieved, and my heart was warmed by it. But…

 (I feel a bit unsatisfied if I just go to sleep like this.)

 As I thought so, I turned over lightly and called out to the futon next to me. 

“…Hey, Chizuru.” 

“What is it?”

 When Chizuru turned to look at me, I got up on my hands on the tatami and leaned over her futon.

 Her big eyes looked back at me with curiosity. 

I didn’t give her any opportunity for hesitation, and kissed her softly on the forehead. 

“…!”

 I felt her gasp. And then, her big eyes blinked twice. 

“Ryoma-san! What are you…” 

It was the second time I kissed her on the forehead, and besides, Chizuru was old enough to get married, so I didn’t expect her to be in such a panic. 

(Is she naïve or inexperienced…? I’m getting worried about a lot of things.)

This idea came across my mind, and I let out a bitter smile. 

As I was tracing her lips which were trembling out of confusion with my finger, I said.

 “I’m happy that you trust me, but I don’t want to be seen as just a safe guy. Next time, I’ll go for your lips, so be prepared.” 

I was half-serious. Chizuru was speechless, her face red and her lips quivering. 

(Seeing this expression on her makes me satisfied…)

 I lightly tapped her shoulders over the futon. 

“Well then, good night. Since you’re here, then I hope you dream of me.”

I said and returned to my own futon- 

“What are you saying! How can I dream of Ryoma-san after what you did… I don’t think I will be even able to fall asleep in peace!” 

Chizuru was so embarrassed that she covered her head with her blanket and decided to sleep. 

(Oh well. It seems like it will take some time for us to be able to have a mature romance. Well, there’s no need to rush…) 

I thought so as I closed my eyes and waited for sleep to come.

This is part four of Jeb’s Story. You can start with part one -> here

Aleki: “If anything goes wrong - you run. Everyone is on his own then. Promise me.” Jeb: “I promise.”

Enrico pushed the ventilation panel aside. Enrico: “Ok - let’s go!”

Aleki: “Behind this door the kids are kept. I’m going to hack the door code now.”

Even though we made sure that we picked a time where none of the scientists is on the corridors, one of them decided he had to go to the restroom - unscheduled... Enrico: “RUN!!!”

Felix: “Hey!”

And I ran...

Enrico and Aleki got cought by the police (blessing in disguise not by the council!). Due to their long police files of crazy ‘offenses’, like glueing themselves on the entrance door of the ‘The ······ Lab’ or unauthorised demonstrations against the military, they were set free on probation after two months in jail, because they thought it was just another silly offense and no act against the council. Francine told me, that after our break in, the security for the kids was aggravated. I can only imagine what they had to go through in addition after our deed... I was so ashamed and rueful that, from that day on, I started to wear that bag on my head. Not only had I made everything worse for the two kids, I even dragged two innocent men into my abyss of thoughtless and stupid actions.

I shouldn’t have approached you in the first place and think it could all be forgotten. (Editor’s Note: Ms Coombes - spinning her threads - told Ji Ho to join school activities. What he did. And there he had met Jeb and Kiyoshi! Jeb told Ji Ho once, how he had felt when he met him and what made him aproach Ji Ho.)

I’m sorry I lied to you and caused you so much trouble and harm. Giigs, please forget about me. I’m a nobody.

Soundtrack on youtube: Don’t You Forget About Me - Simple Minds (It’s the Breakfast Club version -one of my favourite movies of all time)

Slow change may pull us apart When the light gets into your heart, baby

Don't you, forget about me

Will you stand above me? Look my way, never love me Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling Down, down, down

Will you recognize me? Call my name or walk on by Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling Down, down, down, down

Don't you try and pretend It's my feeling - we'll win in the end I won't harm you or touch your defenses Vanity and security, ah

Don't you, forget about me

These are the background stories of Giga, Jack, Kiyoshi and Jeb. This is the end of Jeb’s Story. Proceed with -> ‘The Story of Giga and Jack‘

CoD Zombies Main Oc Face Claims (Ultimis and Primis)

Here are some face claims that I have in mind that really made me took a lot of time of decision making and surfing through the hells of Google just to make my ocs have their own face claims. This is a slightly long thread but not very time consuming to read to give you all some slack.

Liza Soberano for Valena Villanueva

This really took me some time to choose which would fit Val as I have some other candidates like Erich Gonzalez, Janella Salvador, Charlie Dizon, Sofia Andres, Kylie Padilla, Janine Gutierez, Maja Salvador, and Arci Muñoz. I chose Liza because the way she smiles made me take some notes of how Lena smiles considering she is the sunshine of the crew. But she can also be serious and fierce which fits for Licia as well.

Jeon Yeo-been for Gong Ji Eun

I haven't watched Vincenzo before but it was on my watchlist just in case I ever feel like watching it during my free time. Yeo-been caught my attention from just a single poster as I also have other candidates like Park Min Young, Shin Min Ah, Han So-hee, Park Shin Hye, Kang Mo-yeon, and Shin Ye Eun. The way Jeon Yeo-been looks serious and fierce here brings out a fierce and badassery vibes to it that made me decide to make her the fc of Ji Eun.

Robert Pattinson for Arthur Frensby

Hear me out, I remember watching The Lighthouse back in Summer and I was holding myself not to fangirl in front of my brother because Robert looked so fine with his mustache and stubble together with his messy hair. He was the first person to pop up in my head. Ngl, I also planned to make him as the fc of William Remington who is a Shadows of Evil Oc of mine so I may or may not have Robert as his face claim.

Ed Stoppard as Dragomir Ostrowski

To tell you what, the first option I had was Adrien Brody but I reserved him for Lorenzo from the Salvatorix crew, then I went for Jake Gyllenhaal and Chris Evans but I put them on reserves just in case. Now I chose Ed because I saw a photo of him from the History Channel series Knightfall where he played as King Philip IV in which he has shoulder-lengthed hair that made him become an fc of Dragomir. Tbh, I was really running out of options so I settled down with Ed Stoppard cause I have nothing else to think about an actor to be a fitting fc.

𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝑩𝒆𝒚𝒐𝒏𝒅 𝑬𝒗𝒊𝒍 (𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐚)

𝐄𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐝𝐞 𝟏: 나타나다 Pals, I wrote this post months ago (maybe at the end of last year??? I don't know). I wrote it with the intention of rewatching the whole show and doing episode reviews/documenting my musings. But.... life got in the way (as it always does).

But as today is the two year anniversary of the first episode airing, I thought I might as well share what I wrote. Even though it only covers the first like... 20 minutes of the episode lol

Having said that, I will note that there's definitely an abundance of rambling, as well as me taking the piss out of Joo Won, and of course, me thirsting HARD for Shin Ha Kyun 😌 So, are you wearing your glasses? Cause, I am. fyi, you're going to need a drink and maybe a snack because this is a very long post. I hope you enjoy what I share. Please note: Do not read this if you haven’t seen the whole show. It contains major spoilers.

Part 1/2 (??) Okay, out of all 16 episodes, the first is the one I have seen the most. I have previously done a ridiculous review of it, which you can read here. ⬅�� Now for my unorganised thoughts (which have been organised more as bullet points than anything else):

I like BE’s intro/title sequence. There are some very sexy scene selections and colour grading. I’m personally a little fatigued when it comes to glitch art, so the little 90s-inspired glitch effects don’t “wow” me. But I still appreciate that they included this in the overall design of the show’s aesthetic 

here are some of my favourite shots

⬆️ THAT'S GAY! Dong Sik looking down with his eyes open and Joo Won looking up with his eyes closed??? heaven vs hell, open mind vs closed mind. Bound together by cuffs (their version of the red thread of fate) on THEIR LEFT HANDS. resting their heads against each other????? Excuse me, but this has no right being so obvious

I didn’t like the soundtrack when I first watched the show… I know… I know. I did like a few songs but overall, I wasn’t too keen on the general sound. Now, however??

i'm grooving Also, does anyone else get... you know... in the opening scene when Dong Sik demands Ji Hoon to put his flashlight into the air so he can find him?? 😳 sir, give me a chance! I like a logical man (who canonically was just flirting with his future boyfriend)

Also, I like that Ji Hoon is wearing a yellow and blue raincoat in this scene. I wonder if this is a slight nod to the yellow raincoat serial killer, Yoo Young Chul?? Also, visually, it is an early indicator of Ji Hoon’s age, as he (out of the three men in the scene) is the only one wearing bright primary colours, which is often associated with young children/younger people. It could also be a subtle indication of his profession, as the South Korean police use blue, yellow, and red as a part of their emblem's colour scheme. It is also an efficient way of adding contrast to an otherwise very dark and semi-monochromatic scene.

"동식아"/ “Dong Sik-ah”- JUST YES. Through the power of honorifics alone, we are able to gauge the nature of Ji Hoon’s relationship with Dong Sik, before they've even shared the same space onscreen. 

Including Dong Sik’s heartbeat during this part of this scene - told entirely from his perspective - is a very nice touch of immediately humanising him to the audience and indicating the gravity of this event. 

Cut to the year 2000 and we're immediately shown the killer (1 of 2). Jin Mook’s van is shown passing through various locations throughout Manyang as a way to establish the location, the events of the era, and the personality of the town. But what the creators do so artfully here is they showcase to us how Jin Mook was able to go on for 20 years without being suspected by his fellow townsfolk. We, the audience, just like everyone else in the story, do not pay attention to him/his van. Instead, we focus on the people and locations he passes through. He is almost invisible, but he is like a poison or an air bubble passing through the bloodstream, you can’t always see him, but he kills the host either way.

This sequence of events also mirrors how Joo Won is introduced

We are shown Jin Mook delivering a bouquet of flowers for a funeral (belonging to the Lee family. Which I'm guessing Jin Mook maaay have worked for or at the very least, helped out), and then immediately to Yu Yeon’s fingers. 

Then we are shown Yu Yeon in the glow of the hazy sunlight basking through the church window as if she is an angel or more of a memory than a living person. 

“Even when injustice strikes our world. Even when mistrust spreads. We will only believe in our Lord.” “Our world is covered in darkness. Lord, please light our world.”

These are the lyrics to the song the choir is singing. How… yeeeeah… how appropriate for the rain scene in episode 16.

I love the tenderness we see in Kim Young Hee (Yu Yeon and Dong Sik's mum). Honestly, I adore her! What a wonderful mother that loved her children and tried to do right by them. I love that Dong Sik got his curly hair from his mother, and I love that he has her wide smile (it's a smile the twins share). I love that you can see how proud Young Hee is of Yu Yeon and that, even though Dong Sik is “bringing down the family name”, you can tell that she still loves him dearly.... even if he’s a little shit. 

Also, we do not give enough credit to the makeup department for the way they transformed Park Myung Shin’s appearance.

Oh god. Not Dong Sik not turning up to his grandmother’s funeral service…. In a scene where they just brought up the concept of karma, and how Dong Sik is bringing bad karma to the family… 🙃🙃

Here he is choosing not to say goodbye to a family member (in a church, no less), then later in the same day, he loses his twin sister, and then 3 years later, his father dies. He doesn’t go to the funeral of one family member and loses two family members by force…. Almost like he’s being punished for his “poor” choices. He was released from the army to attend his father’s funeral (where he was the “상주”/Sangju/Chief Mourner. He is shown all alone before Sang Bae came to support him), and then much later on, he is shown again choosing to go and to be the Chief Mourner of two more funerals (Kang Min Jeong and Nam Sang Bae). It is only when he completes this does he find out who Yu Yeon's killer is; almost as if he’s made up for his bad karma??? Am I pulling smoke out of my arse here? Probably

NOT DONG SIK BADLY SINGING ALONG TO A SONG WITHOUT A CARE! Nope. nope. STOP 😭😭😭

I find the way the three females in this scene interact with Dong Sik to be veeerrry interesting. There are no giggles, no exchanging of telling glances, no blushing, teasing, and definitely no flirting. None of them finds Dong Sik attractive (they have no taste) or believes that he finds them attractive. There is no indication of any romantic connection between him and them. They only view him as someone they can openly laugh at because he’s (in their eyes) an annoyance: someone worthy of their laughter. This scene could have been an easy way for the show to make Dong Sik het, but they didn’t do that, leaving his sexuality and relationship status during his younger years unknown to us. (Considering he didn’t go to church and that he has no romantic tension with any of the girls in his age group, it really says a lot👀)

I really like Bang Ju Seon… she’s so cool and a little mean but I respect her for it! Although....

This is uncool. But I do like that they interrogated this into the story and that it was subtly explored through Dong Sik's actions throughout the show

Young Dong Sik is really given way too much shit. They’re acting like he’s the worst kid on the block (i’m exaggerating), when in reality, he’s a 20-year-old hanging out at a music cafe in his local town. Yeah, he “starts fights”* (as noted in the church scene) but his face isn’t bruised or bloody. He’s not shown smoking or doing drugs; he’s not getting anyone pregnant. He’s just a teenager in a small religious town, who’s clearly feeling the pressures and restrictions placed upon him. He’s just trying to have fun. He’s not sure where his life is going next and honestly, that’s super okay. Poor baby, he really didn’t deserve what that town did to him. *throughout his childhood, Dong Sik would beat up bullies. But I do love how these small details of his teenage self are used as fuel for the fire. Because of his “bad” behaviour, the people in the town were quick to believe that he committed sororicide. The detail that Dong Sik is "nothing" in comparison to Yu Yeon was probably seen as a motive (he was angry about being second best and was jealous of YY, etc)

Yu Yeon has a picture of her and her mum together [top left-hand corner], just like Jae Yi.

Also, her room reminds me of Min Jeong’s

I like the detail of Yu Yeon sneaking out. It shows that she and Dong Sik aren’t as different as everyone makes them out to be. Also, I like that we’re led to believe that it was Dong Sik that “lured” her out of the house. 

The Lee’s family home was so nice!! 😭😭😭😭

NO! NOt the camera lingering on where Yu Yeon’s fingers end up!

YU YEON AND DONG SIK BOTH WEAR PLAID SHIRTS. Do you think she’s wearing one of Dong Sik’s shirts??? Cause I do. 

I also like that the camera focuses on Yu Yeon tucking her hair behind her ear. In visual media, this is often used to convey bashful/shyness/romantic feelings from young women. So, without words, we are being told that she’s thinking about/on her way to meet a romantic love interest. 

ALSO!!! Due to the fact that the city council weren’t distributing funds equally throughout Manyang (it’s noted that they spend their budget on the densely populated areas), the lights are turned off on the road. This leads to Yu Yeon becoming scared and deciding to run to meet up with Jung Je. Perhaps, if the lights have been left on, she wouldn’t have felt scared, meaning she wouldn’t have run, and wouldn’t have ended up coming across Jin Mook murdering Ju Seon… meaning… maybe she wouldn’t have died that night.

I get shivers every time they pan down to Ju Seon's body

The religious imagery!!! The angel statue is first shown with Yu Yeon, then Ju Seon, Young Hee, Dong Sik, and then finally, Joo Won. 

Okay, so this heartbreaking scene of Young Hee finding her daughter's fingers. Other than the obvious (and the way she stretches her hand out towards Yu Yeon, foreshadowing how even though she can no longer hold her daughter, she'll never let go😭😭), please note that Dong Sik and his mother have the same singing voice 🫠

Then we cut back to 20 years later/present day. But the show makes sure to show us that Seoul expanded and grew, but Manyang stayed the same/got worse (a.k.a became purgatory)

The female gaze is so sexy here. THIS IS ~THE~ INTRODUCTION SCENE OF ALL INTRODUCTION SCENES. Can you believe that Joo Won got to sleep with this man??? I honestly think about this scene every time I wash my face… that’s probably super sad but… here we are. Also, I know it doesn't need to be said but.... SHIN HA KYUN 😩😩😩😩

The shot of Dong Sik walking through his family home, with the camera following him to reveal the way the house hasn’t changed (has only been touched by time) is one of my favourite shots of the show. We are given so much information with a singular pan of the camera 😩

We are shown Dong Sik walking through his family home, stuck in time. Then the next introduction we are given is Joo Won, in his flashy sports car on his way to Manyang. It’s the equivalent of a slow-mo shot of a bullet leaving the barrel of a gun and the journey it takes before it reaches its destination. (Dong Sik is walking around in circles. Joo won is moving in a straight line, heading directly to Dong Sik. DS is shown wearing browns and reds. JW is first seen in a bright blue car. Dong Sik is shown as a person inside a family home, and Joo Won is shown inside a machine. What I’m trying to get at is that they’re shown as opposites)

NO. FUCK OFF! I JUST REALISED SOMETHING: jwds are both shown twice through glass/mirrors during their introduction sequence. (side note: I love that they're given equal attention during this sequence, it really establishes that this is their story)

Dong Sik is shown shaving- as in shedding a layer, preparing himself for the day, and getting ready for his next performance (which is something he has to overcome)

We first see Dong Sik through a fogged-up mirror, then through a completely distorted mirror. Further proving that the person we are being shown is viewed as a reflection of our perspective of him, and not the person he truly is

Joo Won is shown looking through the car window with the sun beaming on it- detailing to us that he is blinded (which is something he has to overcome) 

His view is insular and dictated by the "bubble" he was brought up in/keeps himself in. He also looks out to the world through an unclear perspective.

Dong Sik is shown looking at his own distorted reflection, whereas Joo Won is looking out through the glass. Neither has a clear vision of what they're about to face. (And only when Dong Sik isn’t hiding behind his facade and Joo Won starts seeing with clear eyes are they able to unveil the truth.)

Am I making a mountain out of a molehill??? Or am I onto something here? 

(Also, it should be illegal for a show to have two leads that are this attractive. That is genuinely one of the things I liked the most about BE, the first time around and even now😂 In my opinion, Shin Ha Kyun and Yeo Jin Goo are equally matched in their looks. Ngl, it’s a nice element to their partnership on screen haha)

When I saw Jin Goo’s face for the first time, I remember thinking, “gosh, he’s wearing a lot of makeup” 😂😂 But I will note that I like the way the makeup department decided to present Joo Won. He isn't too dulled up, he's not perfect (you can see Jin Goo's skin texture, his scars, and some spots/zits every now and then) and in comparison to other shows Jin Goo's been in, he looks way less airbrushed, and more like a person wearing makeup. It just looks like Joo Won is choosing to wear makeup, which I personally really like for his character. Basically, he's pretty but not perfect

[Cut to the salon scene] I like that it is noted that Lee Kang Ja’s husband is a cop, and how it’s understandable for the audience to believe that Dong Sik is her husband… but nah 👀😂 Also, I swear that Lee Kang Ja calls Dong Sik “Dong Sik-ah” (which… given her and Gil Goo’s involvement in his framing and the cover-up that ruined Dong Sik’s life, is suuuuper fucked up)

Also, I like that class and financial income is brought up in this scene. It adds substance to the kind of area Manyang is

I reaaaally like that we get to see Dong Sik doing his job without Joo Won making us believe that he’s guilty of something. We see that Dong Sik is observant, patient, kind, calm, and authoritative. He knows the law and understands when to apply it (👀😈)

Park Ji A... oh what I would give to be in your shoes right now. Also, thank fuck for Dong Sik that Joo Won never saw this… he may have gotten ideas 👀😂 (also tag yourself. i'm ji hoon at the window)

Honestly, this scene is kind of hilarious because it's like the only time the show dedicates this much screen time to comedy, and the way they chose to do it is by showing people disregarding Dong Sik's person 🙃 [cut to the station scene]

Up until the scene inside the station, we have been told by multiple people that Dong Sik isn’t/was not as accomplished as Yu Yeon. Which kind of implies that he wasn’t as academically accomplished, and perhaps, not as smart. But then we are shown Dong Sik resighting individual articles from the criminal code from memory, proving that these claims against him were false (it really sets up a precedent, doesn't it???)

Side note: Gwang Young is such a brown-noser and I really like that about him. He’s a bitch- a harmless bitch but a bitch nonetheless, and I fucking love it!! 😂😂😂 (I just wanted 1 bitch-off between him and Joo Won. Like a proper one! Where neither wants to back down)

This scene just proves that Dong Sik is the smartest in the room and is one step ahead of everyone and is sooooo bored. It’s the perfect time for someone smart and new to come into his life to shake things up, isn’t it? 👀 Also, the women from the salon were taken to the station with perming lotion on their hair… GOODBYE HAIR!! SEE YA! RIP. That hair is literally being burned off as they argue over their innocence

I love the first time Joo Won arrives (properly… aside from his stalking) at the station, we are shown him pausing to observe what is happening. Joo Won is highlighted as an outsider, looking in

Not Gil Goo wanting to break the rules and asking Dong Sik to let things slide!!!!! 

💀💀 isn't that what he gets arrested for in the end???

🔊ATTENTION. ATTENTION. PLEASE MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION. HAN JOO WON HAS ENTERED THE BUILDING. I repeat... HAN JOO WON HAS ENTERED THE BUILDING 🔊 🚨 IN FUCKING SLOW MO!!!!🚨

The “sea” of women part, making way for him… kind of like how the Red Sea parts for Moses, js

Of course, Dong Sik doesn’t look up from the computer until he hears THAT voice… I get it, Dong Sik, no judgement here. I totally get it. 😌

Joo Won has the fucking AUDACITY to sigh before introducing himself! Girl, YOU SET THIS UP. YOU WANTED THIS. THIS IS YOUR BIG MOMENT. WHY ARE YOU SIGHING??? (maybe it’s cause he knows he can’t go back now??)

🫠Yeo jin goo’s voice should be illegal🫠 Them:

Me:

In case you were wondering… dong sik fancies joo won from the get-go 🤷‍♀️ i don't make the rules Note: This is also the last scene Joo Won has any resemblance of “coolness” or can be seen as “chill”, which is hilarious considering all the hoops he put himself through to get to this moment 😂

In the scene with Joo Won and Sang Bae, I’m really taken aback by how young Joo Won seems. I know it’s because Jin Goo was like 22(??) when they filmed this, but yeah… he seems very… unprepared for what he’s about to face (which he is) “Delaying things isn’t really my style” Well, you sure did delay arresting Dong Sik, didn’t you???? I guess with everything in Joo Won’s strict life, Dong Sik is the exception to the rule

Joo Won’s first question about his new job is “who is my partner?” and I’m just screaming. I wrote about this scene here (but I’ll sum it up now: I think he wanted Dong Sik to be his partner)

Sang Bae isn’t really the kind of person to care about other people’s opinions of him. But in his first scene with Joo Won, he seems almost embarrassed that his computer crashes. He has a nervous energy and keeps laughing to downplay that embarrassment. Do you think he knew Joo Won came from Seoul and was worried that his smaller substation (later referred to as “the worst” substation by Hyuk) may be looked down upon?? Or… perhaps it’s all an act to make Joo Won warm up to him???

One of my favourite scenes of the whole show is where Dong Sik is pretending not to listen to the gang when they're talking about Joo Won. I. LOVE. IT!!! I love how much he wants us to know that he “doesn’t care”, but then just ends up showing us that he really does, in fact, care. I personally think that he likes what he hears about Joo Won’s accolades (although he's singing THIS to himself😂), and only seems to sour once he’s informed of who Joo Won’s father is. His disappointment is soooo apparent. He cannot and does not hide it. That’s a super interesting detail to include… it says a lot. (it's also the first time in the show that Dong Sik shows any interest in someone). Dong Sik learns that HKH is Joo Won’s dad, and his first reaction is quiet disappointment, NOT excitement… He cares more about Joo Won, the person, and not Joo Won, the chess piece. Hmmmmmmmmm... interesting.

(it's okay baby, you'll get him in the end dw)

Note that the camera lingers on Dong Sik when Gil Goo points out that Joo Won is handsome and physically fit… 👀👀👀👀 Also, when Joo Won is put down on paper, he’s super impressive and almost untouchable. But through Dong Sik, we get to see that it’s bullshit. Joo Won isn’t the person his father wants him to be (i.e, the perfect student and police officer). I really like that we’ve been told to be impressed by him, without getting to know him, and it’s only when we get to know Joo Won, do we get to see that he’s a walking contradiction (and he’s as human as everyone else). We shouldn’t view him through the narrow lens he and his father put him in, because he is so much more than that  Sang Bae lets Dong Sik process a missing person’s case, even if they technically can’t do it within the confines of the law!!! 😩 Fucking hell, they really showed that guilt from the get-go, didn't they??? This scene is so goddamn important for the whole show!!! I JUST!! Ah! and of course it’s Dong Sik who first highlights the restrictive nature of the SK's laws. Joo Won watches this whole interaction (and gets turned on). He listens to the difference between a “runaway” and a missing person… what does Joo Won’s job become at the end of the show?????? 😩😩 I'm fine, I promise Joo Won leaves the station after getting one last look at Dong Sik and then later on (how long was he driving around Manyang, cause it is daytime and suddenly it’s nighttime??) in his car checking Dong Sik out, are the first warning signs of the Inner Slut ™ begging to be unleashed.

Also, I guess Dong Sik walked to work that day??? 

When I first watched BE, I wasn’t a huge fan of Dong Sik popping pills for his leg injury*. I’m still on the fence about the fact that he bites the pills and seems to eat them, instead of swallowing them whole. But then again, this guy is severely depressed and a smoker, so maybe he doesn’t care about the taste… or for the health of his teeth and gums???? It doesn't matter. I'm convinced that Dong Sik was thinking about Lee Sang Yeob in this scene because Joo Won reminds him of him (they have glaring similarities) and that's what causes his leg pain *During my first watch, I immediately knew it was psychosomatic pain. It’s a pretty easy visual motif to show us that he’s dealing with unresolved trauma. 

Gosh, Joo Won really did watch Dong Sik cross the road, getting all horny cause Dong Sik can recite the criminal code from memory… and then later uses it as a way to flirt, showing that he cares enough to listen and that he retains that information... that really is one of Joo Won’s biggest love languages

ugh. Gay people.

So, yeah... that's all I wrote and I don't have the brain power to finish it. But I hope that was entertaining for you all See ya!

20. things you said that i wasn’t meant to hear

for Dong Hoon and Ji An (is this my selfish choice to get more ficlets for them? Why yes, yes it is - but it still is a perfect choice for them).

She is not sure if she has heard him, at first. It is late, even for them, and they are on his couch, his legs curled up beneath him, his head just there, in the slight concave of her lap, her fingers tracing the faintest lines of his temple. She had thought him asleep, somehow, exhausted after the activities of the day and already well on his way to catching a chill, and so she startles when he says it again, voice muffled by the fabric of her pants.

Ji-ahn ah, he murmurs, half-dreaming, Ji-ahn, and she hums in response. Do you know? There is a beat, perhaps more, and he shifts, almost as clear as a bell, now, thick with the last threads of consciousness—that day by the railroad tracks, he continues, when you came to me, and said you were going to tell everyone. And I hit you.

She places the lightest touch over his mouth, then, trying to quiet him—she has known, even without him saying so, that there is no need to bring this up between them, not when they are like this—but he raises a hand, swats at her wrist, a lazy thing with eyes closed, and she takes it for what it is. I didn't want to hurt you, I don't think. I've never wanted to hurt you.

I know, she answers, because he needs to hear it more than she does herself, and he makes a sound in the back of his throat, like he is trying to keep himself awake despite his better judgement and failing anyway. He is deathly quiet afterwards, and so she makes as if to reach for the blankets—Ji-ahn, he says, and she stills. I know what I wanted, back then. I told myself that wasn't what it was, but I know. You knew me better than I did, even then. I think I was afraid of knowing.

I know, she says again, this time almost to herself, and then, louder, I know, as she resumes, one hand drawing the blanket around his shoulders. I know. He will not remember this, it seems. The tension eases from him, slowly, something she doubts he has realized he had, and she wants to ask, But do you have it now, what you wanted?—but he is shifting again, now, and turns his face into her other hand, and exhales, a great release, and there is the cool weight of her ring against the bow of his lip, and the steadiness of his breathing, and he does not answer that. She does not ask him to, and it is well.

Tale of the Nine-Tailed (9/10)

Oh no. This drama knows how to get me. I am absolutely a sucker for complicated sibling feelings. I cried multiple times because of the relationship between Lee Yeon and Lee Rang. Like, don’t get me wrong! The main romance is also nice! I liked Ji Ah and Yeon together, but the relationship that stabbed me directly in the heart was the relationship between the brothers.

Right. So. This is a fantasy drama involving gods and myths and Korean folklore and reincarnation. The basic rundown is the 600 years ago Lee Yeon was a mountain god. He fell in love with a human woman and due to the machinations of an evil entity called Imugi, she dies. Lee Yeon makes a deal with the mystic people who run the afterlife where, if they promise to make sure his love reincarnates, he will work for them.

And so, finally, in 2020, Lee Yeon’s first love reincarnates as Nam Ji Ah- a producer at a TV station whose parents went missing under strange/supernatural circumstances when she was a child. She produces a program that investigates urban myths and as part of that, she crosses paths with Lee Yeon who was on a mission on behalf of the Afterlife Immigration Office. Then Imugi rears its head again. Will history repeat itself or can Lee Yeon and Ji Ah make it through with both of them alive this time?

So that’s the basic shape of the show, but goddamn the part the hooked me was the relationship between Lee Yeon and his younger brother Lee Rang. Rang is actually Yeon’s half-brother. Rang’s mother was a human and as a child, she abandoned Rang in a haunted forest. Yeon saved Rang and took Rang to live with him. But then when Yeon gave up his position as mountain god after his love died, the mountain and its forest was no longer protected. Angry villagers burned the forest down, killing Rang’s beloved puppy. Abandoned and angry, Rang uh... made lots of bad choices? Including killing the villagers who destroyed the forest which made him a target that the afterlife gods wanted to eliminate. They sent Yeon to kill Rang and Rang survived, but... yeah. You can see how the relationship between the brothers might be complicated! It’s so good though. The actors playing the brothers are fantastic and the writing is so good for their scenes too. I cried probably 3-4 times because of them!!!

Overall the story was tight and the acting solid. The writing was good and the secondary characters were charming and compelling. I would absolutely recommend this drama. The ONE weakness is that sometimes I feel like plot threads got dropped and I get it... there was a lot going on. But idk. Part of me is like “are we just never going to acknowledge the fact that an island full of people just vanished?” and there are some other threads I wish had been explored more. Still a great show though!

A prequel series is coming out in a couple of weeks and I hope it is good, but idk! I am cautious! I can’t see how they can compete with the original.

4 days until arrival…

“Be safe with both of you. Sorry that I can not accompany you this time. Now with the wedding pushed closer, I have to prepare and fix up both of your clothing,” Chris said as he bowed. You smiled at him. “Thank you though, I think we’ll be fine.” You told him. He nodded his head. “I’ll see you both later then, be safe you two,” Chris said before turning and leaving.

You and Hyunjin then looked at the guard in front of you. “Everything alright, Gunho?” You asked him which caused him to jump at the calling of his name. He looked over at you as he quickly nodded.

“You don’t seem fine. You don’t usually zone out like that,” You said to the male. He knitted his brows together as he sighed. “I forget how good you are at telling lies…” He mumbled, but still loud enough for both you and Hyunjin to hear. 

“It’s just…once we get away from this village and when you do take me back to the ship…will Yunho really accept me back? I betrayed him when we were younger, I almost got him killed…” Gunho frowned. You sighed as you crawled back out of the hidden chamber. You brought him into a tight hug before speaking. 

“I know he will.” You confidently said to him, breaking away and going back into the hole. He furrowed his brow. “How can you be sure?!” He asked just as you closed it. You looked up at him as you met his gaze. “Because…I would be dead right now.” You simply stated before closing the hatch completely, leaving the male in shock.

You and Hyunjin stopped as you looked at the map. You held your hand over the map as you were the one casting fire from your pointer finger, just enough to see. “If we keep going straight and take a left, we’ll reach the dungeons.” Hyunjin said, tracing his finger over the trail that he saw. 

“Alright, then let’s continue going,” You said as you rolled the map back up, putting it in the satchel that you had before continuing straight. It went quiet again as it felt comfortable being with the male. “Uhm…Aadya?” You suddenly heard him speak. “Yes? Is something wrong?” You asked him.

“It’s just…I haven’t seen her in almost a year and a half. What if- What if she hates me?” He asked, hearing the pain and hesitation in his voice as he looked at the back of your head as you continued to walk. You looked over your shoulder at him as you frowned. “I don’t think she hates you, it was under your power to stop it. You did the best you can to keep her safe, and you still are. We will tell her everything and soon you’ll be together again…safe.” You said to him. 

He looked up at you, tears slowly trickling down his face as he did. “You just have to continue having faith,” You continued as you looked ahead just in time as you saw the turn you’re supposed to take. Turning with Hyunjin following, you saw stairs leading down more. You both took your time as you began to descend. 

“Without faith, there is no hope, and without hope…we’re just lost souls. We won’t know what or who to believe anymore, we would live in a world without harmony and compassion. We have to hold onto that thread, because if not, we’ll all die with hatred for each other.” You told Hyunjin, glancing at the male. 

He nodded his head again as listened to your words as he took them into consideration. “Put your faith in me and I promise that this world will not crumble in hatred anymore,” You told him as you continued going down the stairs.

“We’re here.” You said as you came across a door that had webs and built up dirt and rock on it. You placed your hand on the handle as you slowly pushed it, hearing the cracks and breaks of the built up debris and moss. Just as you did, dust filled the area, making you instinctively use your power to blow it away, though it still made you and Hyunjin cough. 

You looked around for any guards, making sure that you both didn't get caught. Once seeing no one, you slowly stepped out, gesturing behind you for Hyunjin to follow pursuit. He did so as he walked over to you as you both crouched down and slowly made your way around to find his girlfriend, Ryon Hasun.

As you walked around the corner, you saw a brunette head…wait…you saw two more heads but they had black hair. Your eyes widened as you stood up completely and ran over to the cell. “Aadya! Wait!!” Hyunjin yelled at you but in a whisper. 

You grabbed a hold of the bars, startling those inside the cell as they all looked at you. You gasped as you saw Hyunjin’s girlfriend, along with Chan’s younger siblings. You smiled as tears began to form in your eyes. Hyunjin rushed over as he furrowed his brows. “Why did you run over here so quickly?!” He asked as he placed his hand gently on your shoulder. 

Suddenly a woman let out a gasp. “H-Hyunjin…?!” Ryon said as she stood up and ran over to bars as she looked at the male. He looked at her too, their eyes meeting for the very first time after what felt like decades. “Ryon…” The name left his lips with ease as he looked at her with love. “My god, you look more beautiful than I last remember,” He complimented her, brushing her hair back as he put his hand between the cell bars. 

She giggled softly as tears streamed down her face—not just her—but Hyunjin also was crying softly as they gazed at each other. You smiled at them but didn’t dwindle too much on them as you looked over the two kids in the corner who watched. 

They looked just like their older brother as you couldn’t help but smile. “Hannah…Lucas…hi.” You greeted them, catching them off guard as they looked at each other rather than at you. “Who…Who are you?” Hannah spoke as she looked at you with confusion. You looked at her with gentle eyes before speaking. “I am Aadya, Goddess of Life and All. I’m here to protect and save you all.” You said, crouching down to be more eye level with them.

“G-Goddess…that means- Are you going to marry Hyun-?” “I am not.” You interrupted Ryon, turning to face her. “I have no such feelings for him as the way you feel towards him.” You blanlantly said. Her eyes widened as her face flushed. You chuckled as you looked around to make sure no one was coming. 

“We have to be quick since we can’t stay here for long.” You suddenly got serious as you looked at both Ryon and Chan’s younger siblings. “In four days, I will getting you all out of here and to safety. Hannaha, Lucas…I will get you and your older brother back together. He misses you both dearly and worried to death about you both. I will send you five to somewhere safe and sacred that no one will ever find you again” You said before pausing as you heard something in the distance. 

You furrowed your brows as you realised that guards are heading your way. “We have to go now…remember, continue surviving as it won’t be long until I see you again. I will be back soon…” You said before you grabbed Hyunji’s wrist and went back through the secret passage, closing it just in time as the guard came into view. 

The guards looked at them with disgust. “Did we feed them today?” One of them asked the other. “I don’t know, nor do I care. Stop asking me and hurry up set up the game.” The other said as they sat down on a stool and placed a table in front of them. The first guard pulled out a deck of cards and placed them faced down on the table…

You and Hyunjin were back at the room you first came to when you got your powers back. “Are you going to try and practise to get your wings?” Hyunjin asked as he looked over at you. You zoned out for a moment, feeling as the air was different. You snickered a bit as you knew exactly what it was that you were feeling right now. “Aadya…?” Hyunjin called out for you, causing you to zone back in and look over at him. 

“Hm? Oh, yes. My apologies, I was just thinking.” You smiled to reassure him as you turned to fully face him. He smiled back at you before looking around. “Do you need space?” He asked, which in response, you nodded your head. “Yeah, just in case my wings protrude and hit you,” You softly chuckled as he joined you. He then took a few steps back from you as he sat down and watched in awe. 

You slowed your breathing as you kneeled down on the ground, concentrated on your back and the muscle and bones. You closed your eyes as you saw a few things under your eyelids, something felt like there was electricity soaring throughout your body. You gasped as you felt something slowly cutting through the back of your flesh. 

You let out a scream of agony as you fell over from the pain. Hyunjin widened his eyes as he listened in horror. “A-Aadya! Are you okay?!” He asked, nearly running to you. You held your hand up and pushed him away with wind. “I-I’m fine…this is the pro-cess of getting wings,” You struggled to speak as the pain was nearly unbearable. Tear welled up in your eyes as you continued to feel the bones and muscle force his way out of you back as blood slowly ran down your back, staining your shirt. And just as you felt the fabric of your shirt rip, you felt another presence entering the area. “I knew it…” You muttered under your breath.

You stumbled to stand straight up as you the process of your wings retracted back, it left a sting, but it wasn’t as painful as them protuded out. You rushed over to Hyunjin and grabbed him by the wrist. “What ever I say, you must agree, understood?” You whiserped to him. “Huh?” He questioned as he looked at you with confusion. “Understood?” You asked him again, look into his beautiful cat-like eyes. He slowly nodded his head.

“Look who we got here,” A voice suddenly said, making both Hyunjin and Aadya look over at him. You widened your eyes, pretending to be surprised that he was here. “How- I thought no one goes down here anymore!?” You asked, looking at the male in front of you. He raised a brow and tilted his head to the side as he looked at you with confusion. 

“Why are you even down here in the first place?” He asked you, glancing over at Hyunjin as his eyes sligtly widened. “Hyunjin?! What are you doing here?!” The male asked, looking at the prince with surprise. Hyunjin looked at you before looking back at the male. “I-” “I asked him show me this place, but he denied. So, I threatened that if he didn’t then I will kill that whore of a mistress of his!” You yelled, stepping closer to the male. 

He didn’t budge as looked down at you with anger. “Threatened?! I- Hyunjin, is this true?!” The male asked, looked back at the younger guy. Hyunjin looked at you, back at the guard, then back at you. “What ever I say, you must agree, understood?” The words rang through his head, sighing before looking back at the guard. “Y-Yes, Jungkook hyung…she threatened if I didn’t bring her here she would kill Ryon…you know how much I love Ryon.” He said, going with your lie.

The guard, Jungkook, turned back towards you and grabbed your forearm harshly. “Threatening to kill a human for your desires…I should of known. Not only that, but forcing Hyunjin, the prince! To bring you down here against his will is diabolical! You will be punished for your sins, Chung Aadya.” He said before turning you around and putting you in restraints. 

You looked at Hyunjin as you smiled, mouthing a ‘good job’. He frowned as he just stood there and watched everything happen. “Hyunjin, follow me so I can take you back to your room, then after, to the holding cells for this Goddess.” Jungkook said as he pushed you forward to walk. Hyunjin harshly swallowed his spit as he followed closed behind. What are you doing, Aadya…the plan! Hyunjin thought as he nibbled on his lower lip.

A Little Crush

“Ah, and what are you doing here?” Waylon asked, as the painted face of the Trickster poked through the doorway of the morgue.

“I’ve come to share my lovely new single with those delightful delinquents.” He cooed playfully, bat twirling lazily. “And that you might have something to help with my…problem.”

Waylon turned from where he was preparing some of the balm used to help with the Huntress’ sore hands, an eyebrow arching up in disbelief. “Your problem?”

“But I wish for more, more screams, more cries, more music to my ears!” He sighed, a hand dramatically placed on his chest. “I want to give love, to someone who does not seem to feel it in return!”

“Hold on, hold on.” Waylon raised his hands to make the Trickster pause. “You came to me because you’re in love?”

“My passions know no bounds, but still, I desire that which I may not have!” Ji-Woon’s hand went to cover his own eyes, though Waylon caught him peeking between the well manicured fingernails. “How do you exist in the same room as such perfection? Would you not simply die from such exposure?”

“What in the God’s names are you blathering on about.” Borna flitted in and walked past as Ji-woon let out a heartfelt sigh.

Waylon shrugged at her, and watched as the Trickster’s fingers tensed over the end of the bat. Waylon’s face was a picture when he realised that the singer’s eyes were focused entirely on the mortician.

“He’s come to play with the Legion, are they here?” Waylon asked, trying not to laugh at them, Ji-Woon’s attempted posing and Borna’s cold indifference, as she turned to grab some thread and another blade for her bonesaw.

“They’re in trials, so they might need the remedy, not your latest scream-laden single.” She admonished, turning to look at the singer. “You know the rule. If you stay here, you bring something we can use.”

“I brought you some flowers, they were laden on my dressing table, along with some other goodies!”

Waylon’s lips pressed together firmly, as Borna picked through the “goodies”. Her disapproving glare moved over the chocolates, the teddy bear, and straight to the flowers, picking through some.

“Well, at least you tried. And you’re a pretty face.” She mused, plucking out some of the lilies, and stalking back towards her back rooms, even as the door opened, letting in one of the Legion.

“Did she just call him pretty?” Suzie wondered aloud, as the Trickster let out a soft sigh, clutching his bat to his chest.

The Devil Judge: Episode 8

I just finished The Devil Judge and something about this show compelled me to take copious notes - it had emotional intensity and layers of mystery. These are long and rambling, so they're likely not of interest to anyone else, but since I spent all that time writing it I decided, why not post it. Perhaps someone will find it interesting.

Below are my moment-to-moment reactions, predictions and analysis as I watched episode 8.

eps 1&2  ep3  ep4  ep5  ep6  ep7  ep8  ep9 ep10  ep11  ep12  ep13  ep14  ep15  ep16

I wrote about my initial impressions, up to episode 5, here and here.

This is cleaned up only slightly. I followed the spelling given in the Viki subtitles. I mostly don't explain what I'm reacting to, so this will probably only make sense if you've seen the episode recently. Occasionally I give timestamps. 

I was confused by the prisoner switch because I thought the point was supposed to just be that he aged. But i guess it really was a switch

i love how they showed this same prison yard breakdown scene from different angles and shots in the next episode recap

i'm confused about a lot of things surrounding this switch including:

What did Yo-Han want Ga-On to believe? that someone somewhere is doing something shady?

Does Ga-On suspect Yo-Han of doing the switch?  In the alternate angles of that scene we the audience see Yo-Han's conspiring behavior.  Are those shots implying that Ga-On sees it too?  In general I can't figure out how naive vs. observant he's supposed to be

and then of course the question of what is actually happening. I think it's that Yo-Han got Mysterious Assistant to organize the switch for the specific purpose of winning Ga-On to his side.  and nothing happened to the scammer, he's still wherever he's supposed to be, no one else in the story cares about him besides Ga-On.  But this show, as is often the case for political intrigue shows, keeps tying the threads of characters' pasts together, so the scammer himself could end up being a major or minor plot point.

Yo-Han vs. Seon-Ah confrontation, wow! did they both come out as bisexual to each other?  is that one of the implications the show wants the audience to take from that? this whole bit with the pin is excellent.  and the way they tie it back with the "do you like me" So far i'm pleasantly surprised with the backstory they're giving Seon-Ah and how they're revealing it, but not too much and using it.  it doesn't feel flat

This show is starting to say interesting things about gender and about sexual violence.  I'm not sure what yet, and i think what the show is saying probably connects closely to its korean context so it's not necessarily what i'm interpreting from it.  

this whole scene with Ga-On at home.  and calling up Su-Hyeon  and everything in the restaurant.  I'm starting to get more interested in her as a character in her own right (and I think the show is getting more interested also). so beautifully done, and - not understated exactly, but just the right amount of 'stated, not overdone

I think Ga-On's actor is excellent in this.  It's not a virtuosic part like Yo-Han, and I suspect the actor is not as skilled as Ji Sung, but he conveys Ga-On perfectly.  I know he's a very famous K-Pop star, but I haven't seen him in any other context, which I'm grateful for so I don't have anything else overlaying the character.  

I do see the dancer in him - I feel like his physicality is very dancer-like.  not so much that he's graceful, although he is, just that he looks totally at home in his body in a way that feels specific to dancers.  He's not carrying extra tension, but also not floppy.  Able to move in any way at a moment, but not telegraphing his readiness.  It ends up working very well for the character I think.  It adds some layers, because it's not what you'd expect from a lawyer/judge.  And it gives the character I quiet confidence that gives his opposition to Yo-Han more heft.  I think because the script itself mostly puts the balance of power in Yo-Han's favor, if the actor was more timid in his physicality the push and pull between them wouldn't be as interesting.

Yo-Han on the other hand I feel like is holding himself very tightly in order to appear very relaxed and confident.  And I believe that's a deliberate acting choice by Ji Sung - look at the difference when he's playing around with Elijah.  or even that bit where he trips over the wheelchair.  

That was such a small moment, but it felt so revealing to me! the way he trips and the way he reacts somehow felt the most human we'd ever seen of him. so much so that i first wondered if it was an accident during filming that they kept in, but they shot it from multiple angles/takes, so i think it was scripted.

back at the house but the kitchen in these shots is looking very shiny like the political outside world.  they're in their suits with their public facing hairstyles

we're explicitly being told that Yo-Han is manipulating Ga-On.  I mean, we knew it, but it's interesting that the show is telling us

I have thoughts on the shifts in Y and G's relationship, but they're not quite coherent yet.  the rhythms of getting closer, pulling apart.  how that is shown in the way things are framed as romance vs. corruption. and i think maybe it's Yo-Han who is the most variable. He started letting down his mask, felt betrayed by Ga-On taking his sister to meet the cop, and slammed it back up again.  So that's the romance plotline, but the political intrigue plot conveniently also requires him to switch to corrupting?  Or was he the one who instigated this huge change in the political game?  Hmm. He threw down the gauntlet of naming the big 5.  that was in response to Cha's attack on him. Not sure if he had another option at that point, so i tend to think it's more the convenience of the plot lining up with their romance plot than him doing politics stuff in reaction to his romance feelings.

I wonder if we'll ever learn more about Mysterious Assistant?  I feel like it could go either way - this show likes connections, but it's also pretty conservationist in its use of characters - e.g. Our Two Representative Businessmen,  and willing to let secondary characters be flat.  we are getting more and more from Seon-Ah's assistant, so there is some hope.

Su Hyeon and Elijah together again! I'm excited to see what this relationship is going to be.  and that we now see Elijah as part of the game.  she has been, mostly behind the scenes, but now i think we're going to see it.  The actor is only 16! She's so good.

unformed thoughts about the parallels and differences between Su-Hyeon and Ga-On's relationship and Elijah and Yo-Han's relationship. and the lines and connections among all four of them.  we've seen all combinations so far besides Yo-Han with Su-Hyeon.  So far I can't picture them as anything except antagonists over Ga-On's love/his soul, but I can also see this show bringing in something more interesting.  Does she also get won over to his cause?

I feel like we're seeing a Hunger Games' style love triangle, where in choosing between his two love interests Ga-On is also choosing what kind of person he wants to be/what life he wants to live.

I'm confused again about Yo-Han.  if the revenge is just about the church fire, it seems not bad enough to fuel all this work?  even the hypocrisy of asking for the money. Do the series-makers want us to see Yo-Han as sufficiently justified? or are we supposed to see him as overreacting because he is in fact a bit of a sociopath?  or did his anger about those specific personal harms lead him to a more general moral quest to bring them down because they are the most harmful people to S. Korean society? I can't tell if the show wants us to believe one of those, or if it wants it to still be a mystery.  probably the mystery.  part of the problem is that it flattens some things into caricatures (like the businessmen) and keeps others richly complicated (which is understandable, there are a lot of moving parts in this show and not all of them can be realisitic and human) but that sometimes means i can't tell what is flat and what is intentionally mysterious or ambiguous.

(44:00) cute rooftop scene (thoughts on meaning of this rooftop -safe space? feeling space?) but also useful for info on Su-Hyeon's feelings on Ga-On

Is Ga-On gay? That's not the only potential reason he's not dating Su-Hyeon, but it would fit.  (He loves her and relies on her and sees her as family.  part of him wants to be in love with her but he can't be) because there are times where he almost acts like he's in love with her too but afraid for some reason to take that step.  but perhaps it's that he's afraid because he's not in love with her. [this would mean that the show is acknowledging both queerness and homophobia, which i get the sense korean shows tend not to do]

(the symbolism of that knife! she will literally cut herself to prevent him from turning evil [doing something immoral] )

(47:48) Revealing conversations on the rooftop yet again.  Su-Hyeon and Ga-On:  "Have you come back for good now?"  "Actually no, but I need to take care of these. [plants]"  "You shouldn't visit, you should return completely.  This is your home."  "But there are people I need to take care of over there, too."  "How about taking care of yourself? Please."  "Me? What about? Why do I need any care? I'm living an exceedingly comfortable life as it is."

i feel like this convo between Prof. Min and Su-Hyeon is one of the few glimpses we're getting (outside of the generic faceless masses or our power hungry main players) of how people see and think about politics in this society

I don't have the cultural context to interpret this line, but it stands out: "I didn't become a police officer to point a gun at our citizens' chests."

the battle over Ga-On's soul.  Prof. Min and YSH vs. Judge Kang

I still can't tell how seriously this show is taking its statements on politics.  I assume we're supposed to see YSH and prof Min as the voices for morality here.  they let our hero say something that is (to me) such an immoral statement.  obviously they are showing his internal conflict, but i don't know how extreme this would sound to mainstream Korean audiences, or at least how extreme the show creators meant it to sound

once again Ga-On is being asked to choose sides

Prof. Min is the only person shown entering the battle who's outside the power structure.  Well, technically he's inside since he's on the supreme court, but in the framework of the show he's an outsider who wants to bring the whole system (I'm a little vague on what that is - is he just blaming the televised trials?) down.  and he's saying he's going to be using public opinion and the media to do it, the very thing that he's saying is causing the problem in the first place.  Is he supposed to come across as naïve?

I guess it's confusing because he seems to be trusting the public here to make changes, but the only reason that the public trials are a problem is because the public is blindly swayed by them to violence.

I guess the weirdest part for me is that the televised trials seem to be presented as such a powerful force in this society whether they're seen as good or dangerous.  but it's hard for me to see them that way.  like i wouldn't go from 'police brutality is a problem' to 'it will get significantly better if we get rid of he public court'

and it's probably a shorthand, or a show writing convenience to make Yo-Han a powerful figure: whatever he's in charge of has to be a powerful force in society because in order for the show to work he has to be powerful.  but it just makes the politics of the show feel odd.

(I think that's why I struggle with political shows in general.  their depreciation of the causes and solutions of political problems usually strikes me as either offensive, ridiculously oversimplified, or both.)

like, i guess there are no figures here advocating for actual structural change, or even pointing out what the problems are.  The show itself sort of points out problems with wealth and corruption and powerful people not having any accountability.  And interestingly, saying that implies, what we need is accountability and transparency - which is what Judge Kang was saying he was going to be doing with the court.  but then his courts were portrayed as, not bad, but nonsensical and arbitrary, not transparent at all.  but he and prof. Min have been the only people to even mention transparency.  interesting.

Is this show going to have a nihilistic view of political change and power?  seems likely at this point. By portraying the general public as a monolith of easily manipulated sheep, only those in power have any agency or chance of affecting the world.  That's convenient for making a show - it greatly reduces the number of characters that can affect the plot and keeps it to issues and themes that can be controlled.  but it's also an inherently anti-democratic world view.  

here it seems like they might be saying that the media and public opinion are so powerful, you can't escape using them if you want to have any impact on society (whether for personal gain or for public good) but I can't tell if that's a statement that the series-makers are making about S. Korean society/society at large, or just a way they're fitting Prof. Min's beliefs and actions into the simplified world of the show.

unformed thoughts on public vs. private.  Media/public opinion etc is portrayed as all powerful, and the big decisions are all made behind closed doors. This is both a point of the show, but also doesn't always work.

I think maybe I'm not quite feeling the weight of Kim Ga-On's moral struggle because the moral and political logic of the world around his ethical quandary feels so flimsy.  like, the choice doesn't feel as meaningful to me as it should or as the drama wants it to.

i think prof. Min is supposed to be the moral center of this world.  The other option is that he'll turn out to also be corrupt, but I don't think that's the direction the show is going in.  

rewatching, his plan does make a little more sense and is less let the mob fix it.

(50:40) Ga-On wears a sweater at work! Is there significance to Ga-On's two hairstyles?  I haven't seen a pattern yet.  but Yo-Han's two styles are very meaningful so I'm inclined to look for meaning

We get to meet Mysterious Assistant!!! And so does Ga-On.  I did not predict this.

Also, the first time I saw Mysterious assistant I thought he was Isaac.  He looks a little like Ga-On, and they gave him the same hairstyle

This feels like jealousy? like i know Ga-On has reasons to be mad at M.A. but if you ignore the words it feels like they're each staking a claim to Yo-Han.  and he's smirking in the background.  I guess I don't understand why M.A. would be pissy unless he's also feeling possessive of Yo-Han

The best version of Kang Yo-Han has the same goal as Prof. Min.  If that is the true version of him (which I think it will turn out to be) then the moral quandary Ga-On is facing becomes one of methods and 'does the end justify the means?' 

I guess this would need to be a dystopia in that case, if Yo-Han's way was the best way.

Oh! The defense attorney is working for Judge Kang. Lawyer Go was Ju Il-Do's lawyer

i'm confused about what this actress did during Cha's son's trial..., oh she was the first caller.  i just needed to wait two seconds lol

(55:00) I'm getting heist movie vibes.  The gang's all here, gathered for the first time, meeting in a picturesque abandoned warehouse.  I'm sure there's some symbolism or something evoked by the fish and aquarium tank...

 the first time the politics feel real

still the question of trusting Yo-Han is there, but that look at the end.  Ji Sung's expressions! although the musical cues help too

(58:20)  And immediately following is the other seduction/corruption campaign - Seon-Ah's of Judge Oh

I feel like this scene support my theory that Judge Oh is an avatar/stand in/representative for the manipulatable faceless public

(1:00:05) more mirrors in scenes where people have on or are putting on a mask

that is a sexual seduction

Is this evidence planted by Yo-Han? or is it real?

(1:02:35)  Ga-On in his seat!

Here is an explanation of the scammer guy stuff.  I think we're supposed to take it as the true one.

honesty from Yo-Han about his willingness to manipulate.  so he's saying he didn't switch, but would have.  But what was up with his conspiratorial looks with the prison guard?

"this is me. take me as i am"

1:04:10 /dinner with Prof Min.  "what have you decided"

prez buffoon - emblematic of and chosen by mob mentality.  xenophobia.  mob violence.  this youtuber guy - another form of taking justice into his own hands - is that an intentional parallel?

(1:06:10) who created the rage in the first place

(1:07:21) "Were people so stupid that they become enraged just because they were stirred up? It started from something else, didn't it." He's finally asking my question.  Don't know if we have quite the same answer though. or at least Ga-On's is in a more limited sphere. "It was the bad guys. Those guys who deserve death for making innocent people shed tears of blood. Was asking to properly punish them such an impossible request?"  "Ga-On"  "You should have done better. If people like you had done better, if people like you who even joined the Supreme Court had done your job properly, then none of the would've needed to happen. If the people who took these positions had done their jobs properly." "So in the end... you have made your decision?"  "You were the one who forced me to make a decision, Professor. If there is no justice in reality, but only a game, then I also want to be among the winners."  Ga-On gets up and walks away to the opening credit music. with a slight smile on his face - is that an intentional acting choice?

I have to remember that mild mannered Ga-On is filled with rage and resentment.  I don't know why I keep forgetting this.

ok, wow, he's pissed at prof. min.  I assume, I can't think why else he would be so in his face about choosing Yo-Han ('s path) over him.  That is some dramatic staging.

(1:10ish) "Do you regret it?  I will promise you..."  "It's not just for revenge.  I want to fight the world that's gone wrong."

their faces here! the way they look at each other (or don't)!

ok, copaganda.   :-/

WARNING » it’s an old writing, i’m editing the typos and posting it here so beware of the cringe :) ft. Jaemin, Chenle and Mark being your annoying best friends.

WORD COUNT » 3288 words

"Ah yes, Mr. Jung said that class 2-4 will have a combined session with us today," one of your classmates reminded an other girl that was on leave the earlier day, you would have remembered this little detail too if you weren't so engrossed in your very interesting surrounding.

You picked up the brightly colored feathers that served as a decoration for your classroom, from the ground. They were stuck on long threads with glue, and some were separated from the thread as a result of the dried up glue.

An idea struck your head. You held the threads on your hand and curled it around your ears and stuck some red and blue feathers into your hair, and climbed onto your table and started making weird noises.

You were always the entertainer of the class, every class had one, didn't they? This didn't mean that you didn't at all care about school stuff, you did your work on time and surprise tests got your nerves crying in your blood.

What others thought never really mattered to you, and it wasn't even a bother in class 2-3, the girls were always immersed in the screens of those little devices and the boys were always busy creating an evil plan to conquer the whole world. Your two close friends and some other girls were the only one that gave you a little attention you deserved.

"Oh darn, Y/N, hahahah!" Your best friend, F/N said as she clutched her stomach to stop the pain from laughing so hard. "God, are you pretty?" You hoped a little and continued your silly little dance with the colors of the feather and it felt good standing on a high stage and have your fans clap around you. Oh yes.

From the door to your classroom came some muffled voices and sounds of dragging chairs. You looked back but no one came into the class, might be some other freshmen students, you couldn't care less.

Jisung, complaining under his breath and slightly irritated by the rush of his classmates, entered class 2-3 just to see the sight of you dancing, acting like a cuckoo. His thoughts of being roiled all vanished as a smile spread across his face.

"I'm sitting on Y/N's table, where are you sitting, Ji?" Asked Jaemin as he passed by the former to go to your groups table.


"And I will be sitting here, Y/N." Declared Jaemin as he pulled his chair near yours and made some space for Chenle and Jisung. "So will some other dudes." You had got down from the table and laughing over it with your friends when you heard a deep voice saying your name.

"What are you doing here?" You looked at the boy from the other class quizzically, not realizing that you still have the feather accessories on you. "Mr. Jung's class. Don't tell me you don't know, he announced this just this morning." He put his notebooks down and pulled out some pencils and started doodling on the back of his book.

Wait so if Jaemin is here, and if he's from class 2-4, and Jaemin is Jisung's classmate because Jisung is also in class 2-4 then Jisung must be here too. Taking a while to process everything, you remembered that Mr. Jung did that say 'that' and that you still had your beautiful, beautiful hair clips around your ears and on your hair. Your hands reached to pull them out but your eyes caught sight of Jisung pulling his chair next to Jaemin's. Oh shoot.

You quickly pulled out the feathers out and just prayed in your little heart that no one saw you goofing around. Too much for not caring about what others think. Well, it was okay if the one who saw was Jaemin and Chenle. You guys were childhood friends and you very well knew how much more weirder they were than you. But Jisung was different, he mattered. Everyone's first crush do, don't they? And your feelings for your first crush had followed you till sophomore year from middle school.

"Oh hey, Y/N," Jisung said as he tried to hide his obvious smile. All you could do was nod to hide your embarrassed face, and quickly sit on your seat. You wished you'd just dissolve in thin air.

Mr. Jung entered the classroom as all of you stood up and greeted the teacher. "Yes, today we'll b starting with Unit4, Algebra.." He said but all you could think about was sitting next to your crush. Jaemin wanted to sit with Chenle and Jisung didn't like sitting on the seat right next to the aisle, so he had changed seats with Jaemin and you were very distracted.

Jisung was just so effortlessly gorgeous, everything he did was glorious, the way he held his pen, the way his right brow raised when he didn't understand the lesson, the way his bleached hair fell just perfectly on his forehead exposing a little of his forehead, the way he was right next to you and that he knew nothing about your heart that was about to explode as it banged on your rib cage desperate to escape.

"Oh here," Jisung said handing you a small piece of yellow paper, without even looking at you for a second, he continued to take notes. You were cut off from your reverie, startled, you opened the folded piece of paper.




『 i won't be surprised if you failed

algebra and if jisung has a hole right

through his face, you've been literally

staring at him for straight 35minutes 』




You, realizing what you were doing, flushed a pink tint all over your cheeks. You looked up to see who passed you the paper and Jaemin was there smirking behind Jisung who was bent down to write in his book.

'What?' You mouthed to him. Jaemin, still smirking looked away and shook his head slightly.

Since the very embarrassing moment, Jaemin always invited no, dragged you to small hangouts at cafés with his whole squad. It was very awkward at first but as time went by, you grew used to their presence, you got to know other four friends of Jaemin and everything was worth it.

You and Jisung talked but it was invariably the same, about school or just some shit talks about how annoying Jaemin is and how cute his smile is. It was like this since middle school when you guys first talked on Jaemin's birthday party.

You felt that Jaemin knew how you felt but it wasn't only him, Chenle knew the whole shit, but they always chose to not interfere and make you two go on a date or something. They always said 'Fate does his work well, just wait'.

"Guys, what will I be getting for Christmas? It's like nine days away and we've prepared what?" Haechan beamed as he had flowery thoughts for Christmas.

"Why are you the only one not prepared?" Jaemin said as he took another sip on his lemon-flavored iced coffee. "What? You guys did not!" You smiled at the boys laughing and teasing Haechan. Jisung was seated across of your seat, you took your chance to stare at him as he smiled the world's brightest eye smile. He was laughing and it was the most melodious sound you've ever heard. You found yourself smiling contently.

"I see where this is going," Mark who was right beside you, leaned down and whispered in your ear, startling you. "What? No, I wasn't, I was just, i mean-" You tried to reason out but he just nodded and gave a knowing smile. One more on the list.

"I am having a party at my place, my parents said that they will be going to grandma's for Christmas and I, being a responsible son, told them that I'll go home after Christmas eve to look after the house."

"That's very responsible of you, Chenle."

"Shut up, Jeno. Anyways, let's have our outfits picked and you guys 'need' to be there, see how the host is personally inviting you all. And it's a themed-party, this one will be like a Halloween part2 because we had tests on October."


"What will you be going as, Y/N?" Jisung spoke as he walked beside you while exiting the café. The sun was setting in the west, the sky was lilac-colored, the night air replacing the atmosphere of the morning brought a sense of calmness.

"I am not sure whether I'll even be able to come, what about you?" You noticed he was looking down at you, the height difference was crazy, as well as the fact that his face perfectly went in pair with the sky's color.

"What? You need to come, it'd be boring without you." He said almost complaining.

"W-what?"

"I-I mean, Chenle did invite us personally and all the eight of us must be there."

"Oh. Since it's with Jaemin, I'm guessing my mom will consider me leaving for the night." He nodded. The two of you walked in silence as school stuffs were too far away to talk about and Jaemin wasn't annoying these days. But weirdly, the silence wasn't awkward, it was surprisingly comforting, a smile spread across your face of all that was made of today.

"I hope you're coming," Jaemin said catching up to you just when you were nearing the bus station to get home.

You smiled bitterly, remembering the last Sunday, you taking the whole day just to decide what to go as, you browsed the net, asked your mom, nagged your friends but it had taken less than a second to decide what to buy once you got into the costume store in Hongdae.

There were stacks and stacks of hanboks in one aisle and you had instantly fallen in love. But then again, there were a lot to choose from so you searched for a hanbok that ancient queens wore, something that would have the features of an olden royalty clothing, because gorl were you of the superior human race.

Going through it, you found one, no two hanboks, it was a king/queen couple hanbok, the king's hanbok had a beautiful navy blue color with gold embroidery, you weren't that big of a fan of the huge head accessory.

Since Mark asked if you wanted help with picking a costume, you thought it'd be polite to send him a picture, so you did and told him about the situation. He wanted to come over to the store but you said that you were going to buy this and that it was decided.

"Of course, I am, don't want the money I spent on my costume to go to waste now, do we," You looked over at the boy. His eyes were literally glowing in the bright sunlight. You reached out your hand and zipped his bag for him, it was something Jaemin was always forgetful about. "Oh thank you. I won't ask what you're going as, make sure to be in time!"

"I will be before time, I want to help you guys, how 'bout I come at around 3pm?" You asked as you boarded the bus with Jaemin following suit. You guys lived just four blocks away and it was convenient to use the same bus. "Your costume won't be a surprise then."

"Oh it'd be uncomfortable too, anyways I'll go back home and change or something, oh, i know, I'll bring it in a bag with me." You pointed as you sat down. "Do that then, but really, you don't even have to help, we'll manage!"

You piped frosting on the last gingerbread man and then stretched. "And that's a wrap!" The other two boys were just about done with the X-mass tree.

"Yep, now we're free." Chenle dusted his hands and smiled. "We've finished an hour earlier, now you can go and change or something, girls do take quite a while getting ready, don't they?" Jaemin said as he looked at the time on his watch.

You rolled your eyes. "Yeah, I'm gonna go now."

You took your time getting ready in Chenle's room, it was pretty well, very spacious enabling you to move around and practice walking in the big dress of a hanbok. You walked down the staircase, and most of the people had already arrived, the girls looked amazing and the boys well, dashing, you coughed.

You had on you a beautiful, bright hanbok. The lower part of the dress, Chima, literally flowed, it was of a wine red shade, and the top part, the Jeogori was dark red in color, almost a scarlet red, and it was decorated with embroidered symbols which were done in gold, showing that you were an empress.

On the hem of your dress, you carried a Phoenix symbol. Your hair was let out loose and you had done some light wavy curls, because you knew big turban-hairstyles would make you look like a literal potato. After putting on some minimal makeup and some liptint, you were on it.

"Bow before your queen, peasant!" You held a spatula on your right hand to knight your best buddies and your left hand held your hanbok from sweeping the floor, you were really trying to look at the very least, a little elegant.

People were complimenting you and Mark again looked at you with that same knowing smile from the day at the café before telling you something nice.

You had notice the other boys, they were dressed in weird clothes, one was pennywise, one was micheal jackson and one was petter pan, everyone who was invited was to see how much of a crackhead your friends were.

You were having a lot of fun but a little part of inside of you were searching for a sight of Jisung, you hadn't seen him all day.

"You're in for the Christmas Couple Contest for tonight, right?" A girl that was from Jaemin's class interrupted you from knighting your fellow brave citizens for holding this party. Also by 'couple' ? you've got the wrong person.

"Well, find me a king and I'm in," You shrugged and turned back to look at Chenle and Jaemin, the peasants of Y/Nland but they were busy having a little fangirl moment of something you wanted to know.

"I'm in then," a familiar voice spoke from behind you, your cheeks, in response, took a crimson color. Oh shoot.

Jisung walked to your direction, his pink-colored hair slightly curled, fell over his usual luminous eyes, the only difference, you noticed was he had grey contacts in his right eye which on his left eye wasn't present, his ears had long hanging silver earrings throwing in a hint of modernness into his outfit.

And if this was what coincidence was, you were ready to believe in all those 'fate' bs. Jisung was wearing the corresponding costume to yours making you guys a match.

The navy blue brocade, looked just right on his proportionate body, everything looks so good, Jisung was a walking art.

"Okay, you two it is then," the girl interrupted again as she jotted down some names and made way to some other group of people listing their names on the sheet.

"Now you two can dance," Mark said as he pushed you and Jisung out of the counter area and onto the dance floor.

You were vigorously shaking your head but you noticed that Jisung was just calm and going with the flow, you doubted why he was acting weird, to make matters worse, he grabbed your hand and walked you to the dance floor.

He held your two hands and started moving side to side, to make the atmosphere calm down, there were people around the two of you, there were best friends, couples and classmates dancing with each other but everything was a blur beside Jisung, it was like nothing in the world mattered but him.

Jisung's pale skin was flushed with a tint of pink, his left hand had a Daniel Wellington watch and it was funny to see a modern accessory with a hanbok. "Um— uh, you look great," You managed to speak, finally.

His smile remained the same but the the look in his eyes was about to say a lot to you.

"I don't know if you noticed me but that time you were dancing on the table with those crazy earning," He rolled his eyes whilst smiling. "I saw you." You turned your line of sight away since the vase near the hallway suddenly got really interesting.

"I—i could see another side of you and hell my feelings just grew, I knew it was wrong to like someone my best friend might possibly be liking. Jaemin," He added seeing the puzzled look on your face. But then, he shook his head saying that it was just a stupid assumption.

"Yes, I liked you way before, which is amazing because I usually got over my old crushes in about a month or so, you lasted a lot more." His feet moved in sync with yours as you two gracefully danced, you noticed so girls eyeing you with envy written all over their faces.

"What is even there to like in me, there are a lot of beautiful girls out there who are dying to get you to look at them."

"Well Y/N," the music changed to a much slower one, a sentimental ballad, it was a typical partner dance music. He shrugged making you aware that of the obvious fact that it was a couple song. And exactly at that moment, you wanted to escape rather than fall down after having Jisung so close to you. It was already hard to take in the fact that your costume was matching his.

"May I?" You nodded.




His left hand made its way to support the small of your back while his other hand held your left hand a little high, his closed the space between you two making his face come awfully close. You could just see how flawless his skin was.

"...You serious? Beauty doesn't matter, although you are very pretty. I just, you know, like you. I don't exactly know the perfect reason but as time went by, I just got more dragged into you. And knowing you was a whole lot better.

"I like how you always put everyone before you, I like how you like seeing other happy, you always try to make others smile. And you understand what it means to really care. You care about not just about your close friends but of everyone, why would you even volunteer to work at the school infirmary, that's like the most dreaded punishment.

"Moreover, you notice everything, the smallest of details, I bet you already noticed my earrings and contacts," He pointed at his ears and eyes with his left hand. You couldn't hold in your smile, you secretly prayed that the dim light in the room lasted as you were so sure you were shape-shifting into a cherry red tomato.

"So, um, will you go be my queen?" His body gained confidence after a nanosecond. You damned cheesecake.

"Cheeseball, can't you see, I am already a queen!" You were quite surprised your voice didn't break.

"Okay, then cut off the queen, will you be mine?" Avoiding the question you got closer to him and rested your head on his shoulder, still swaying your body to the music, Jisung took a moment to process everything. "Hey, don't leave me hanging like that!"

✧ notes: surprise! i know i scheduled the release for may 7th, but thought i’d release it a little early :)

next。

“i can’t believe you’re up and leaving us for a month,” yeonjun sarcastically commented while helping her lug her last luggage into the mercedes van that sunwoo had been so generous enough to send to pick them up. “and from the looks of it, it doesn’t look like soobin, beomgyu, and taehyun are going to let go of the others.”

and true to his word, she looked over to see them gathered in a group hug. beomgyu clung onto yunho with teary eyes, he’s never been separated from him for a month before. yunho gently pat the younger puppy’s head with a small smile. 

she chuckled at the heartwarming scene. “guys, you’ll still be able to call and facetime. and you’re acting like we’re never coming back! we’re only going to jeju island.”

“but what if you run away with this person because they’re rich?” beomgyu asked, ignorant to her background. at his question, the other boys gasped and whipped their heads over to her. 

her smile slightly faltered, forgetting that they don’t know of her origins. she knew she’d have to come clean someday—maybe this trip was the right time to tell. 

“don’t be ridiculous, of course we are,” she gently reprimanded before coming over to ruffle beomgyu’s hair. “beomgyu’s imagination is just running a tad bit wild.”

pouting, beomgyu shifted from yunho to engulf her in a bear hug. 

“soobin and i’ll make sure beomgyu doesn’t grow any grey hairs while worrying about you guys,” taehyun jokingly reassured. he knew beomgyu well enough, even though he was an addition to the family a month ago.  

“miss, it’s about time to depart to the airport,” the driver informed with a bow. 

with a nod, she rubbed beomgyu’s head. “okay, we need to go now, bub. we’ll message you when we get there, okay?”

reluctantly nodding, beomgyu let her go. he joined soobin, taehyun, and yeonjun to see them off, waving until they not longer saw the black vehicle. 

in the car, yunho, mingi, san, and yeosang were fascinated with how fancy the interior was. there were two rows of two seats, and row with three seats in the back. the seats were so comfortable, and it was so roomy; an environment unfamiliar to the hybrids. while seonghwa and yunho knew somewhat of her background, the others wondered how she managed to afford something like this. 

“is your friend rich?” san asked, looking back to face jiyu. seating arrangements were decided by an intense game of rock-paper-scissors. in the end, yeosang and hongjoong sat in front, mingi and san were in the middle row, and jiyu was squished in between yunho and seonghwa in the back. 

“that’s one way of putting it, yes.” in truth, she was worried about how they would react to her and sunwoo’s background. most of them had come from influential families or illegal organizations to begin with. having terrible memories with them, would they change once they knew who she really was?

“but don’t worry, he’s really nice! he has a hybrid friend of his own, too. i think he said a german shepard hybrid.” yunho seemed to perk up at the thought of meeting another dog hybrid. 

“hm...if you say so. if you trust him, then we do, too,” hongjoong said before getting comfortable in the seat. 

upon arriving at the airport, the van immediately took them to the runway where a private plane was parked and waiting. she assumed it was sunwoo’s. the boys plastered their faces against the van windows at the sight of the plane. they’ve never been on one before, hence their childlike fascination. 

“are we really going on that?” san asked with excitement. “i love your friend already,” he teasingly commented. 

jiyu softly chuckled as the van came to a stop. hopping out, she saw sunwoo standing at the entrance to the plane with a hybrid she assumed was eric. catching sight of jiyu, he started climbing down the stairs. she smiled and waved to him, an action he returned with a small chuckle. 

“were you waiting long?”

he shook his head. “don’t worry, we came ten minutes ago. eric’s been eager to meet you and your—” seeing the six hybrids behind her filing out of the van, his eyes widened. he knew she had hybrids, but he didn’t really know what to expect. “you have six?”

she sheepishly chuckled. “yeah...i hope you don’t mind. they won’t bite if that’s what you’re worried about.”

on the contrary, sunwoo didn’t mind at all; it actually made her a hundred times cooler in his eyes if anything. he’s never met a girl who managed to befriend six different hybrid breeds. but then again, with her job, he should’ve seen it coming. despite that, she just kept surprising him with who she is. 

“guys, this is sunwoo,” she called out to the boys. “he’s the friend i was talking about!” 

while the boys acquainted themselves with sunwoo, the german shepard hybrid approached jiyu with a friendly smile. “hi, i’m eric! although i think sunwoo told you plenty about me already.”

jiyu giggled at the boy’s abundance of energy. “he has mentioned you a few times. i’m jiyu.”

eric enthusiastically nodded. “i’ve heard about you a lot, too! sunwoo didn’t stop talking about you for a whole week after your first meeting.”

jiyu felt her face flush at the new piece of information. “a week—”

“ji! sunwoo said there’s also video games on the plane!”

before eric could continue exposing sunwoo, yunho came bounding up to her with the others in tow. with their calm and excited demeanor, she assumed that they managed to feel relaxed and at home with sunwoo, which made her happy and relieved. 

“is that so?” she mused, rubbing the spot behind his ears. yunho nodded and giggled, pushing his head into jiyu’s hands. eric glanced at sunwoo and couldn’t help the smirk on his face at the sight of the soft look on his friend’s face. 

snapping out of his reverie, sunwoo cleared his throat. “we should get going.”

the plane ride nothing out of the ordinary—the boys were getting to know eric, while jiyu and sunwoo caught up over a glass of champagne. 

“so it seems like your friends don’t know about you yet?” sunwoo inquired. “i told eric to keep his mouth shut about it just in case.”

softly shaking her head, she quietly glanced at the hybrid group that had passed out not too long ago after expending all of their energy. “only seonghwa and yunho know about it. i never found the right time to tell the others but this trip might be it.”

mingi had sleepily wandered over towards them and plopped down next to her before laying his head on her lap. within a few minutes, his breath evened out again. 

an endearing chuckle left her lips as she threaded her fingers through his faded red hair. “ah, you big baby,” she cooed. 

sunwoo watches her with a soft smile on his face. he watches the way she gently lulls the giant bunny to sleep, the mother-like smile on her face, the gentle aura she exudes—he could go on and on. she was completely different from what he had been expecting. while they had a few brief meetings during company gatherings, she always had a blank expression, never smiling nor frowning. it was almost like she was more robot than human.

when his parents had informed him of his future marriage with her, he didn’t know how to react. a part of him would’ve been lying if he had denied feeling the tiniest bit of disdain at his fate.

but lo and behold, she managed to leave him soft and charmed with every meeting, even if this was only their second one. 

“sir, ma’am, we’ll be landing in about ten minutes. please fasten your seatbelts.” 

his pilot’s voice managed to break him out of his thoughts, leaving him to scramble to sit up straighter and cool his flushed face. 

“i should wake them up,” jiyu said, completely unaware of sunwoo’s dilemma. softly shaking mingi’s shoulder, she gently prodded him awake before relaying the pilot’s message to him. padding over to the others, she did the same.

sunwoo sighed before buckling in his own seatbelt. he needed to keep himself in check around her before he accidentally does something that would embarrass himself. this is going to be a long month.

upon arriving at the private vacation home, jiyu was already bombarded with the youngers’ pleas to go to the beach. luckily for them, the vacation home was just down the street from the beach, giving them easy access to visit whenever they wanted. 

“i’m really sorry, i hope you don’t mind,” she apologized to sunwoo for the fact that they were going to the beach the moment they put their bags down. “if you’re tired, you can stay. i can take—”

sunwoo’s soft chuckle made her pause mid-sentence. she didn’t know he was capable of making such a melodious sound. while she was still living in the main house, her friends had painted him to be an aloof person. and even from what she saw at company dinners. the daughters of other elites were always throwing themselves at him, offering him drinks and their company. 

yet every singe time without fail, he would coldly reject them.

so when yuta had told her that he was the one her father set her up with, she was doubtful if they could even be civil with each other. 

“it’s fine, i’ll go with you and the others. eric’s been pestering me to go, too so it works out.”

the soft and friendly expression was just proof to her that maybe, just maybe, she had been judging the facade he puts up.

“oh, okay then!” she smiled before scurrying to her room to change. “let’s meet back here when we’re ready!”

watching her excited like a child to go to the ocean, he couldn’t contain the smile that he had been biting back. he was glad that they could at least be friends despite the circumstances.

“stop staring at her door and go change, loverboy.”

he was bought back to reality by his best friend’s quip. throwing him a half-hearted glare, he trudged to his room. “i wasn’t staring.” even his protest was weak. 

eric couldn’t help the smirk that crosses his face. he’s known his best friend long enough to know that he never gets like this around girls. “this should be an interesting trip.”

by the time they all met back up to leave, it was two p.m.—a prime time for the sun to be out and bestowing them with it’s heat on their short walk to the beach.

“it’s the ocean!” yunho shouted with utter glee and happiness as he and eric raced each other across the sand and to the water. the others ran after them, even san who ended up straying on shore and dipping his feet in the water. hongjoong joined him as he watched over the others in the water. 

jiyu and sunwoo had found a group of beach chairs under a big umbrella and tossed their bags down. stretching her limbs, jiyu sprawled out on a chair and closed her eyes for a brief moment. hearing the ocean waves along with the cheerful shouts of the boys in the water made her smile with content. 

cracking an eye open, she caught sunwoo throwing off the white t-shirt he had on and shaking his head afterward to fix his hair. her eyes raked over his body against her own will. his lean figure, the define abs lined on his stomach, and the hints of muscles on his arm only served to have a volcano of butterflies erupt in her stomach. 

“everything okay?” he asked, leaning down towards her face.

looking away from his piercing gaze, she jumped up and quickly discarded her own outerwear before speed-walking towards the water. “yep! just great!” she definitely didn’t miss the smirk that was threatening to take over his face. 

sunwoo smirked before running to catch up with her. he couldn’t help but take note of the red two-piece she was sporting. a part of him wanted to throw his earlier discarded t-shirt over her to give her coverage from other people’s gazes that were lingering just a bit too long, but he bit back his own desire.

after all, they were just budding friends who were about to be stuck in an arranged, and potentially loveless, marriage.

but that didn’t stop him from lifting her up and tossing her into the water.

emerging back up, she had to rub her eyes to get rid of the salt water before throwing a glare towards the laughing culprit.

“kim sunwoo!” she stood up and crossed her arms across her chest like an angry child. 

“i had to—hey!”

too busy caught up in his own laughter, he failed to notice the wolf hybrid sneaking up behind him to exact revenge for jiyu. emerging up next to jiyu, shook his head to remove excess water out of his hair before looking for his culprit. seeing the proudly-smiling seonghwa on shore with his hands on his hips, he let out snort. 

“alright, you got me.”

she burst into giggles before floating on her back. looking up at the sky, there were no hints of clouds—just the endless blue that seemed to stretch out for miles on end. feeling someone tug her feet, she perked her head up to see yeosang pulling her. 

“you were floating too far out,” he informed before lightly flicking her forehead. “watch out before you float away and we’re stranded here without you,” he added with a chuckle, just barely missing the splash of water that jiyu retaliated with, before swimming off back to yunho and mingi. 

“he seems fun to be around,” sunwoo said as swam up to join her. “he reminds me of eric, only more sass.”

“yeah, i never know where his sass comes from—”

she was cut off by a huge splash of water from behind that had not only hit her, but also sunwoo. turning around, she expected it to be yeosang, san, or eric.

but no one was behind them. 

sunwoo furrowed his eyebrows. the hybrid group was at least twenty feet away from them—there was no way any of them could’ve done it since he and jiyu would’ve heard them swimming off or laughing. 

“that’s odd, who—ah!”

before jiyu could finish her sentence, a pair of arms grabbed her waist and yanked her underwater. having no time to react, she felt herself being tugged away as they started swimming with her in tow.

sunwoo swore his heart almost stopped; whether it be from the fact that it all happened so quickly or the fact that jiyu could potentially be drowning, he didn’t know. he didn’t have time to know.

“oi, what the—!”  

his scream caught the others attention. looking over, they sunwoo looking frantic pulling something up from under the water. 

but there was no jiyu. 

they all swam over with urgency, fearing something went wrong.

“where is she?” hongjoong asked, brows furrowing with panic. the others looked ready to fight what or whoever took jiyu, even yunho and mingi even though they both looked on the verge of crying. 

“something pulled her down and just...swam away!”

meanwhile, underwater, jiyu was having a ball trying to fight off what or whoever pulled her down. it was definitely a person—she felt the arms around her waist and the hard chest that was tightly pressed against her back. looking behind her she managed to make out a male with majestic, black with gold highlights. 

the lack of air snapped her back to reality from her gawking and she stared to try and pry the man’s hands off of her. as if catching onto her message, he quickly brought her back up to the surface. 

inhaling like her life depended on it and coughing out some water, she turned around and glared at whoever decided to try and almost drown her.

but before she could her a word out, she was blown away by how...pretty the man staring back at her was. with his hair tucked behind his ears, it framed his face perfectly, showing off his distinct and defined facial features.

but something else caught her eye. 

the lower half of his body was a tail. eyes flicking back and forth from the man’s face to the tail, her mouth opened and closed like fish out of water.

“a fish h-hybrid..?”

“oi, jiyu!” 

at the sound of her name, she looked behind the man to see everyone swimming up to her. it turned out that they weren’t that far away from shore—the man, or hybrid, just took her along the shoreline rather than farther out like she had originally thought. 

the unknown hybrid just watched as the seven other hybrids and sunwoo crowded her to make sure she was okay. yeosang profusely apologized, saying “i know i joked about you floating away and stranding us, but i didn’t mean to make that a reality”.

sunwoo ruffled her wet hair, breathing out a sigh of relief. “you scared me there. i thought i was going to lose you on the first day here.”

“huh? yeosang?”

at the sound of his name, yeosang turned around and practically fainted. he literally swam past him, how did he manage to miss the extremely familiar face.  he stared at the underwater hybrid, wide-eyed, like he had witnessed another miracle from the universe. the unknown man mirrored yeosang’s look.

“wooyoung?!”

24. “Behave.”

91. “I know for a fact that you can be a hell of a lot louder than that.”

notes; a little softdom!jihoon, kitty!hybrid!reader, thigh riding, heats, dirty talk, mentions of breeding kink, i swear to god my hand fetish always comes out with jihoon, also i said hybrid cycle of drabbles but i never said who was the hybrid HAHA!! 😈 Also oddly enough, keeping a list of who I’ve written for in this cycle of drabbles and who still needs to be written for has given me some very zen moments skdksj it took me so long to get organized 🤡 lol, as always, thank you for requesting! Enjoy! 💕

“Kitten. Behave.”

You let out a sharp whine - thighs rubbing together and tail swishing behind you fervently. “B-but I can’t…”

The heat in your body was unbearable as you sat next to Jihoon and he’d already made you wait too long for your liking. “You can’t or you don’t want to?” He retorts, too focused on the work in front of him as you continue to squirm next to him on the sofa.

“Ji--Jihoon… It h-hurts…” You nuzzle into his side, soft moans spilling from your lips. “P-please? Can you j-just take a second? You don’t have to, ah, do a-anything…”

This catches his attention as his fingers leave the keyboard. “I don’t have to do anything? And why’s that, kitten?” His voice drops an octave and it goes straight to your core as you shiver.

Your heats always required Jihoon to take off, at least, a week’s worth of time from work. But this time, your heat had come a week early and neither you nor Jihoon were prepared as he sat with a new load of paperwork to get through before the day was over. He’d been kind enough to let you sit with him as he worked, but you soon found yourself only able to squirm and shift as you inhaled his scent and fantasized about his touch.

“I--um…”

“Hmm? You’ll have to use your words properly or I won’t give you what you want.”

You let out a choked sob as a rush of wetness soaks into your already wet panties. “I--p-please, just l-let me ride your t-thighs…? Just n-need to c-cum please…”

Jihoon licks his lips, taking his eyes off of his laptop screen to stare at your pleading eyes and flattened ears atop your head.

“If I let you cum now, will you promise to be good and let me finish my work until I can properly take care of you?”

You nod feverishly; already trying to inch your way into his lap as he chuckles under his breath and leans back against the sofa.

“You have twenty minutes, kitten. Make it worth it.”

“Mmh, oh!”

You bite down on your bottom lip in an attempt to stifle the loud cries you want to let out and Jihoon grins in return - tensing the muscles in his thigh as you only grind down harder onto his clothed leg. You couldn’t blame him for how busy he was and it wasn’t your fault either that your heat had come early. It was just unfortunate timing on both ends.

“Kitten, you’re so quiet. What’s wrong, hmm? Not comfortable?”

Jihoon’s hands squeeze your waist before he starts to snake one hand up to cup your cheek. You lean into his touch, moaning and shivering as another wave of arousal pours over your sensitive body. “N-nothing… feels g-good...” He ‘tsk’s before you feel his thumb prodding at your lips and you’re quick to part them as he eases his thumb into your mouth.

“You’re probably thinking about how good I’m going to fuck you later, huh?” You wrap your lips around the digit; sucking and lapping at it in between quiet moans. Eyes fluttering shut, you imagine it’s his cock instead as your tongue swirls around the digit. “Pretty ‘lil head only filled with thoughts of me breeding your ‘lil cunt full.”

“Mmhmm…”

You swivel your hips faster - panties sticking to you like a second skin and soaking through Jihoon’s pants more and more with each passing second. “That all you can say? I know for a fact that you can be a hell of a lot louder than that, kitten. Let me hear you.”

He pulls his wet thumb from between your lips; a thread of saliva connecting the digit to your mouth. “Let me hear what you want when you make yourself cum on my lap.”

Your hazy eyes meet his, thighs trembling and squeezing Jihoon’s. “I--I want… Ngh, I wanna feel you c-cumming inside of m-me and filling me up with--with your c-cum…” His hand dances back down to your waist as he guides you gently.

“More.”

“Mmh, J--Jihoon…” The pleasure inside your body builds up at a rapid pace just as he tugs you down harder onto his thigh. “C-can’t stop thinking, ah, about y-you breeding my p-pussy… all n-night… Over and--and over… S-so much cum until it’s, mmh, spilling out of m-me… Ah, I n-need it so bad… N-need to be b-bred so b-bad...”

He smiles appreciatively; eyes flitting down the wetness soaking through the material of his pants. “You must’ve been waiting quite a while, huh, kitten? So good and patient for me but I want you to cum now. I think you deserve it, don’t you?”

Nodding frantically, your shaky hands find purchase on his shoulders as you race towards an orgasm. You grind down harder; fantasies of what was to come playing out in your head as soft cries mix in with garbled attempts at Jihoon’s name continuously falling from your lips.

“Oh, Ji--Jihoon, I---”

Your body immediately locks up in his lap as you cum hard; momentarily feeling yourself black out as the pleasure that washes over you becomes too much for your overly sensitive body. 

He whispers soft praises as he massages your waist and helps you through your high.

“That’s right, kitten. Feels good, doesn’t it?”

“Mmh, Jihoon…” He keeps the muscles tensed as you continue to grind down onto him - trying to milk out as much of your orgasm as you could knowing that you had to wait even longer after this.

It takes a few more minutes before your trembling body comes to a halt; slumping forward into Jihoon’s warm chest as you inhale his strong scent.

“You s-smell good…” You mumble, sated and a little bit tired.

“Do I, kitten?”

“Mmhmm… D-do you want me to…?”

Jihoon shakes his head, tugging you closer and bringing a free hand up to pet your soft ears as you moan and snuggle into him. Your tail swishes behind you happily as Jihoon pampers you in his lap.

“No, don’t worry about me right now. You should get some rest while I get some work done and I promise I’ll give you my full attention in a bit, okay?” You nod sleepily against his chest, fighting off the urge to sleep when you pull away from his warm touch.

“You really really promise?”

“Yes, kitten.”
