okay he lookin’ fine as hell
VOICELESS pt. 2
Athena felt the wind on her face, a smile forming on her lips. Those few moments meeting her inspiration were enough to brighten not only her day but probably her week or month. She clutched the album in her hand closer to her chest as she tuned out the continuous chatter of the crowd. The guards have escorted the fans out from the stadium after their meet and greets. She was still not able to spot Nicole in the crowd, she had promised that both of them would meet up after but she was probably still inside or fighting through the crowd of fans. Her mind kept going back to the moment she saw Suga smile at her, she noticed a tint of blush on his cheeks but it was probably because of the heat or something, it couldn’t be because of her. She doesn’t need to think like that, they are just idols, unreachable but are there for inspiration. She is just an admirer of their talent, nothing more.
It would be weird to think of them as more than that.
“There you are! I’ve been looking for you everywhere!” she hears Nicole from behind.
She turned around with a soft smile, taking out a piece of paper from her pocket she wrote out “How was it?” and showed it to her.
Nicole jumped and down with glee, “It was amazing! They were all so nice and funny! Oh, I can’t wait for their next concert!” She then pulled her to the side.
“I got a surprise for you, but this is a secret okay? Suga entrusted me with it” she whispered with a wink. Suga?
She faced Nicole with a confused look, questioning her what could it be. She held on to the silver bracelet V has placed on her wrist and played with it, somehow it gave her comfort; now that Nicole is giving her unnecessary anxiety.
“He wrote this number and said, “you’re the flame” and told me you would know” she raised her eyebrows in a suggestive manner. This confused her more, was it regarding their interaction earlier? Or her letter? Did he mean that she can contact him through this number? Or that she should contact him? She did not get what he meant by it at all.
“Do you know what this means?” Nicole teased, she shook her head no.
“It means he likes you! And you should probably contact this number!” she pointed towards the number written on her album, with initials of AD. August D? Was he referring to his other stage name?
She wrote in her paper “That’s impossible, it’s probably a dead number”
“Such an optimist!” Nicole commented, grabbing the wad of sticky notes from her hand, she took out a pen from her pocket and started writing.
“There is nothing wrong with taking a shot. Maybe this is your chance” she said as she placed the sticky note on Athena’s forehead. Athena pouted and took it. Nicole then linked her arm with hers. “Let’s go get some food, I’m starving! I’ll introduce you to some of my friends!”
Athena out of thought read what Nicole wrote. It was the number written on her album, with a bunch of heart scribbles and a wink emoji. She caressed the note with her thumb, did he really want her to contact him? Why? She pockets the letter and lets Nicole drag her to a bunch of people she had never met. She didn’t understand why her heart suddenly starts beating faster by the minute, was it because she was nervous about meeting new people and having to explain why she couldn’t talk or something else entirely.
Suddenly her hands were shaking, her body didn’t feel like her own, and flashes of lights kept blinding her. She taps Nicole by the shoulder, shaking her head vigorously, hoping that Nicole would understand. “Why what’s wrong? We’re almost there, don’t worry, they told me they were by the bay”
She shook her head again, “Don’t you want to meet them or you’re not feeling well?” Both, she thought. She felt her body shaking, her hands suddenly felt clammy and her mouth dry.
Nicole must have understood for some reason, a concerned look in her eyes as she grabs her arm tighter, wrapping her free hand on her waist for support. “You could meet them next time, I guess. Do you want me to take you home?”
Athena shook her head no, she doesn’t want to go home yet, but she also didn’t want to meet her friends, but she also didn’t want to burden Nicole. Maybe she should text Josh, so he’ll accompany her. Oh wait, he was busy.
“Let’s grab a bite then, we could gush together” Nicole smiled. Athena feeling guilty smiled back. “Oh don’t worry about me! I’m just glad I found a new friend”
Athena knew she was only saying this to comfort her but she felt glad nonetheless.
--
Suga didn’t know what he was feeling, but it didn’t sit well with him. Everything was finally over, they can finally have a few days before the next concert. But then again, those days will be packed with practices and constant lack of sleep, the usual. He didn’t know what he wanted a moment, but a break would be nice. “Hyung! So what your plans if she ever contacts you?” Taehyung jumps on the couch and settling beside him. Suga didn’t give that much of a thought, he honestly had forgotten it for a moment. She probably would think it was a joke though, but will she try?
He shrugged his shoulders, as a reply Taehyung pouted. “Aw too bad, I was hoping I could get to see her again too!” Suga raised an eyebrow, Taehyung laughed nervously. “It’s just that..*laughs* she… you... know... *laughs*” Suga throughout Taehyung’s stumbling explanation only gave him a stern look, crossing his arms in the process. Taehyung scratches the back of his head and blushes, “Nevermind… never mind… let’s just go” he laughs again. Taehyung then grabs Suga by the arm, pulling him up to stand, he chuckles as he pushes his back towards the rest of the guys.
“Hey Hyung! I noticed you blushed during the fan meet earlier, who was that girl again?” Jungkook called out, without a second later, all the guys started whooping and teasing. They started poking his stomach and teasing him with questions of who was the girl, giving out random names, he had never heard of. He gave Taehyung a look, telling him to keep quiet. The boy did seem to listen as he tried to stifle his giggles. This went on for a good few minutes before Jin blurted out a name that perked his ears.
“Athena… that was her name, right Yoongi?” Jin smiled as though he was recalling a recent memory. Suga feeling shy only hid his face in his hands, hoping the guys would stop the teasing. Everybody seemed to have remembered who she was as they started with the ‘oohs’ and ‘ahhhs’
Jungkook gave out a big smile “She was really sweet, she told me I have great potential to change a lot more lives”
“Yeah! She told me that she was glad that I pursued my dreams and that she couldn’t imagine me not being an idol” Jimin commented.
So they did have different letters, Suga felt glad and relieved at the same time.
“She told me she felt closer with her friend who died whenever she sees me, I don’t know what I should feel about that but it made me tear up,” Jin said giving them a sad smile, “I’m glad I’m a bridge for their friendship to continue even in the afterlife”
That must have been hard for her as well, did she lose her in the same accident she lost her voice? Suga wondered. This intrigued him more, he wondered how many of their fans have been moved through their music. How many of them have experienced a lot of pain in their lives and that their only sense of escape was them. This thought made him smile but his heartache as well. He was glad that he and the guys are making a lot of people happy with their music but it was also heartbreaking knowing that a lot of them are going through a lot. It also pressured him in a weird way, it felt like a heavy responsibility for him to carry. He was their escape yet he badly wanted to escape himself.
“Why don’t we get something to eat? I’m hungry” Namjoon suggested tapping his stomach.
The guys agreed and everybody started packing up. Suga felt an arm on his shoulder, “She must be a very interesting girl for you to give your personal number Hyung” Jungkook smiled with raised eyebrows. Taehyung!
“Oh no one told me, I just saw you writing it out earlier, you weren’t that discreet you know” Jungkook laughed, Suga shaking his head gave out a sigh. This boy will be the death of him.
They were walking towards the nearest burger shop, trying to be discreet as they can. They went by groups so no one would notice. Suga was with Taehyung and Jin, he felt that it was ridiculous that they had to wear wigs, sunglasses, a cap, and a mask to not look suspicious. They look suspicious! If he was a fan or paparazzi he would have known who they were.
“Hyung! What are you doing? Why are you walking like that?” Taehyung asked Jin who was walking with his chest out. “I’m trying to look inconspicuous” he whispered. Taehyung only laughed while Suga shook his head trying to distance himself from the two. Shoving his hands in his pockets Suga tried to focus on where he was walking as they arrive by the entrance when he hears a familiar voice. A familiar shriek.
“Ah! I knew it! Could you perhaps introduce me?”
Suga moved his body towards the voice he was hearing, the two already walking towards the counter... “Are they nice? When do you think will be their next comeback be?” the high-pitched voice questioned. Who were they talking about? Suga trying not to look like an eavesdropper inched closer. They were sitting by the window their backs facing him. Suga sat by the booth behind them and motioned towards Jin and Taehyung that he was sitting there. Both of them gave him a thumbs up, they would know his order by now. He then notices Jimin and Namjoon enter while J-Hope and Jungkook were already eating on the other end. Suga smirked as he saw how ridiculous Jungkook looked with his bob wig. Yeah, no one would notice him with that wig on.
“Anyways, I’m glad I met you! I’m so sorry for what happened though” the girl mentions
Suga wasn’t the type of person to eavesdrop, he usually minded his own business but this conversation kept him curious. He just had to confirm that it was the familiar voice he remembers from earlier. He slightly turns his head to get a glimpse at the two. Both of them were brunettes except the other one had shoulder-length hair while the other had long curls. Athena had long curls, could it be her? He tried focusing on the girl with long curls but her face was blocked by the girl with short hair. They were talking about a guy named Josh and that the short-haired girl was excited to meet him. The girl with long curls just kept nodding.
It might be her.
“Hyung! You didn’t tell us what you wanted so we got your usual” Taehyung mentions, placing their tray on the table and sliding on the seat in front of him. Jin still walking with his chest out placed his tray beside theirs and sat beside him. “Oh! I’m starving! Thank you for the food!” Jin bows his head then started digging in, Taehyung does the same.
Suga still tried listening to the two girls talking, he unwraps the burger and takes a small bite when the girl shrieks again. Her shrieking surprised the three of them who made startled looks. “YOU REALLY SHOULD! IT’S AN OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME! IF IT HAPPENED TO ME I WOULD REALLY PEE MY PANTS!” the short-haired girl screamed for everyone to hear. Everyone in the area gave her looks, even the four from the other end. The short-haired girl must have noticed as he heard her mumble a sorry. “Anyways you really should give it a try! An idol wouldn’t just give out a number to anyone you know!”
Suga’s eyes widened, it was them! Right?
“Hey, did you hear what that girl said? She said she’d pee her pants! For everyone else to hear!” Jin laughs meanwhile Taehyung looks at him with curious eyes. He probably heard what they were talking about too since their sitting together. Taehyung inches closer to Suga “do you think it’s Athena and her friend?” he asks as he tried glancing towards the two girls.
“Maybe” he whispers back.
Jin made a suspicious look, pointing at the two of them he asks. “Hey! Hey! What are you guys whispering about?”
Suga and Taehyung not wanting the two girls being suspicious of their looks, motioned towards the two of them with a slight movement of their head, their eyes moving to the side.
Jin made a confused look. “Huh?”
Taehyung leans toward the table “The two girls behind us, we think one of them is Athena”
Jin’s mouth shaped an ‘o’ as his eyes traveled towards the two girls who had their backs facing them. His eyes squinted, focusing on the girl with long curls. The short-haired girl was giggling, she was moving her body back and forth so he got a chance to glimpse a side profile. He smiled.
He looked at the two boys in front of him who were staring at him expectantly. Both eyebrows raised, he laughs at how curious they are. He nodded.
“It’s her”
He didn’t know who smiled bigger but he could see that Suga seemed excited. He had never seen this side of Suga, it somehow made him feel protective. Feelings are dangerous, especially for guys like them. “Would you talk to her?” Jin hears Taehyung asks, taking a bite from his burger.
“I’m not sure, what would I say?”
“Suga really? Of course, you would say Hello first!” Jin scolded, chewing his burger with a lot of confidence.
Suga places his head on his hand, why would he even try to ask. He felt Taehyung tap his shoulder. “Maybe she’ll come to us when she recognizes it’s us”
“What if she doesn’t? We look like weirdos with these on” Suga motions towards the black shoulder-length wig he had on. It made him look like a girl, if not for the heavily tinted glasses he had on and the fake beard they pasted on him. Both Jin and Taehyung stifled a laugh. “Yeah, they did go overboard with the ‘trying not to look like us’ look”
“While I look gorgeous with anything I put on” Jin flicked his blonde wig. He did not look gorgeous, he looked like a guy who hasn’t left his room for weeks with that wig. They didn’t even try to tame it. Suga rolls his eyes “So, should I talk to her or should I wait it out?”
“How could you talk to her?” Taehyung asks
Oh right.
“How about you slide in a note” Jin suggested.
“How?”
“We could crumple it and throw it in their direction?” Both looked at Taehyung with a ‘are you serious look. “This isn’t high school” both of them mentions. “Well got better ideas then?”
“Or… you could just casually come to our table and say hi” the three of them look up towards the short-haired girl who was now standing at the side of their table. Smiling brightly she gave them a wave, behind her was Athena who had her head down.
“Hi,” the three of them said in unison. Which felt awkward.
“You weren’t really that quiet with your conversation, we’re sorry we eavesdropped” The girl giggled. Athena only nodded in agreement as she kept twisting the charm on her bracelet. The bracelet Taehyung gave her earlier. Taehyung must have noticed it too, “Do you like it? The bracelet?”
Athena lifted her head, her eyes surprised at the mention of her bracelet. She was biting her lip when she nodded a yes. She was being cute, for no reason. Taehyung smiled “I’m glad”
Noticing the interaction the short-haired girl nudges Athena’s stomach. She only smiled as a response to her friends constantly glancing in their direction as though she was silently telling her to do something. Athena brought out a sticky note pad and wrote something, she then places the sticky note on their table.
‘I’m glad you guys are finding time to eat, enjoy your meal, and take care’
She then motions her friend to leave by pulling her arm. “I guess we’ll be going then! Nice seeing you! Whoever you are!” she greeted as both of them left before he could have said a single word.
“Her friend didn’t recognize us?” Jin asked
“Yeah, she said, whoever we are, so she probably didn’t hear us mentioning our names” Taehyung commented.
“But did Athena recognize us? She gave us a note” Jin picks up the sticky note, examining it.
Taehyung takes the sticky note from Jin and places it in his pocket. “She probably did, she said she likes the bracelet I gave her”
Jin raised an eyebrow, he didn’t know Taehyung gave Athena his silver bracelet. “You gave her a bracelet? What bracelet?”
Taehyung made a nervous laugh, realizing that Jin didn’t know, he knew how protective Jin could be when it comes to interacting with fans. “You know the one..*nervous laugh* the..”
“The one he had custom made last year, the one with the tear charm” Suga mentions as he takes a bite of a french fry. Suga had a different look on his face which made the two look at each other. “The one you said you would keep forever?” Jin asks.
“Yeah…” Taehyung scratches the back of his head, trying to avoid the look Jin was now giving him.
“It felt like it belonged to her, Taehyung was right giving it to her” Suga commented, his eyes staring at the door where Athena left. Both Jin and Taehyung followed where Suga was staring at then looking back at Suga.
“Are you really that interested in her?” Jin genuinely asks. Taehyung positions himself, straightening his back as he looks at Suga who was still staring at the door. He purses his lips and furrows his eyebrows. “That’s a question that I would also like to know”
Suga squinted his eyes “She makes me question a lot of things and I wonder why”
VOICELESS
She felt excited, she was finally meeting them. They were so close, within her reach. She could see how ethereal they are and how unbelievable this moment was for her. Too bad she couldn’t talk to them, oh well, at least she could finally see them in person. She felt grateful, nonetheless. Athena clutched her favorite album close to her heart and anticipatedly waited for her turn, she was the seventh in line, they were in her line of vision. She could see Kim Namjoon smiling at the fangirl he was engaging in a conversation with. Beside him was Jin who was listening to a different girl, he was laughing and interacting so kindly it made her smile. She always felt that they would be nice, she hopes they would understand her situation and would still try to interact with her.
“Hey, isn’t it exciting to meet them? I’m so excited!” The girl behind her squeaked as she tried to engage in a conversation with her. She only smiled and nodded, she felt shy, she didn’t talk to strangers, or that she didn’t know how to interact with others that much. The girl must have noticed her being shy and gave a genuine smile. “I came with my friends but they didn’t get the chance for the fan meets, how about you?”
She was alone. No one wanted to accompany her, or that they were too busy. She doesn’t have friends who are fans either and her best friend was busy with practice to support her fangirling. She shook her head no.
“Oh, so you’re alone like me, I’m Nicole by the way” She extended her hand for her to shake.
Athena smiled and placed her hand on her necklace spelling out her name. “Nice meeting you Athena” Nicole smiled.
“Oh, we’re almost next! I almost didn’t realize the line moved” she shrieked with excitement.
“My bias is V by the way, how about you?” she asked
Athena didn’t understand why she blushed, she’s not that type of fangirl who daydreams of marrying her bias or whatever, she just admires their passion and talent but somehow, she smiled shyly while she motioned towards Min Yoongi, who was only a few meters in front of them. Nicole shrieked again, this must be a habit of hers. “OMG! I totally understand why! I get the vibe.”
“I’m so excited to meet them! Let’s meet after this okay?” Nicole grabbed her hand, her eyes sparkling with excitement, her mouth smiling with glee.
Athena felt glad she somehow found a friend, she shook her head yes. Nicole jumped up and down with glee, with another shriek. “Great! I hope we could be friends for a long time, Athena!”
Athena hoped that too.

“Wow, there are still so many! I feel like all their faces have blurred into one” Taehyung said as he looked at the massive line of fans waiting to see them up close.
“Yeah, I feel like I’ve run out of words to say” Suga whispered beside him, his eyes wandering on the next few girls in line. Good thing they had a five-minute break earlier or else he wouldn’t have able to take all the smiling and conversing. Don't get him wrong, he loves meeting fans, but sometimes his social battery runs out. His eyes landed on a small girl who was smiling brightly at Namjoon, she slid her album on the table for him to sign but there was a small letter on top of it. Another fan letter? Namjoon’s on a roll today with those.
“She’s pretty,” Taehyung commented beside him, as they both observed Namjoon and the girl's interaction. She was still not talking, was she shy? This was a one-time opportunity, didn’t she want to talk to him? Namjoon read the letter, smiled, nodded, shook hands with her then signed her album. That was it? Maybe Namjoon wasn’t her bias. Jin who was beside Namjoon also smiled at her as she moved towards him, she brought out another letter from her pocket and placed it on top of the album she gave to him to sign. Jin read the letter, smiled, signed her album, and pocketed her letter. He saw Jin wiping a tear from his eyes as he stood up and offered her a hug. The girl seemed surprised but hugged him back as well. She still didn’t talk, Suga wondered why. “Wow a fan-made Hyung cry, I wonder what was in that letter to make him tear up” Taehyung once again commented.
“I wonder why she’s not talking”
Taehyung wore a puzzled look and looked back at the girl who was now moving next to Jimin, smiling brightly at her. “Maybe she’s an introvert, or she’s shy,” Taehyung suggested.
“Hmm… Maybe”
Both of them were at the end of the table, so she gets to see Jimin, J-Hope, and Jungkook before the both of them. He was intrigued by her, although she looked like the average girl, how she interacted with the others was very interesting to look at. She was now smiling at Jimin while he was reading the letter she gave to him. She wasn’t squealing or jumping up and down with happiness like other fans do during fan meetings, she wasn’t crying either. She was just standing there, smiling, a look of admiration in her eyes.
Jimin stood up and also offered her a hug like Jin did earlier. He pocketed her letter and signed her album, Suga also noticed he wrote a few words as well. She then moved to J-Hope who was giving her a huge smile. They had a similar interaction, while JK peeped on J-Hope's letter. He talked to her for a while but she didn’t talk back, she either just nodded or smiled with glee. J-Hope, later on, took off his yellow bonnet and placed it on her head, tapping it. He smiled at her and motioned her to move on to Jungkook. Suga thought that maybe he could eavesdrop a little on their conversation since he was beside JK. Suga observed her, she was wearing a pink dress that stopped by her knees, a jean jacket, and a necklace that spelled out the name “ATHENA”. She must have noticed him looking at her as their eyes met, she had deep brown eyes that looked surprised. He noticed a small tint of pink come from her cheeks as she focused her eyes back on JK who was smiling at her.
“Hello!” Jungkook said with glee
The girl smiled and waved back at him, she took another piece of paper out of her jacket pocket and placed it on top of the album she slid on the table. JK curiously took the paper and unfolded it, he must have noticed Suga peering over his shoulder so he turned his back on him and faced J-Hope who was busy entertaining an eager-looking fan. Suga made a pout and glanced over at the girl again. She had her head down but still smiling, she must be avoiding another eye contact, Suga thought.
Jungkook faced the girl again, he stood up and gave her a hug. “Thank you so much for your support!” he beamed. The girl, a bit surprised by the hug, smiled. She hugged back as well. When JK let go, he held her by the sides of her arms. “We are forever grateful for you guys,” he said.
But she still didn’t say anything back, she just smiled and bowed.
She was finally moving towards him, why did he suddenly feel nervous? His heart started beating loudly. She was wearing a shy smile. He was about to smile back when JK leaned closer to him and whispered in his ear. “She reminds me of you, Hyung” Suga faced him, JK just smiled and raised both his eyebrows in a suggestive manner which confused him.
He turned his attention back to her. She smiled genuinely at him, he noticed she was nervous like he was. She held out to him the letter addressed to him and the album he was meant to sign. He smiled again as he took the items from her. Not trying to show his eagerness, he slowly unfolded the paper.
He glanced back at her before reading, she was smiling nervously as she kept readjusting the bonnet J-Hope placed on her head earlier. She was pretty, he noticed that now.
He focused back on the letter.
Dear Sir,
SIR? She addressed him as sir? Suga’s eyebrows met.
I apologize that I cannot speak to you directly, which is why I am writing to you this letter. I was part of an accident earlier this year, which caused me to lose my vocal cords...
Oh… that’s why.
However, I am still very excited that I was able to meet you guys, you have been the anchor for me to continue on. I am in awe of your motivation and drive to continue pursuing your dreams. You guys have been an inspiration not only to me but to millions of people. I admire your talents and hard work, I will always be supporting you. I may not be able to scream out your names during concerts or sing with crowds but I will always be supporting you and singing with my heart. I am forever grateful for all the inspiring stories and messages you have shared with the world. You are a man filled with great potential and passion for music that no person can take, your music touches souls and fixes broken smiles. You are the flame.
Forever a fan,
Athena
Sweet, kind of cheesy but very heartwarming. Suga smiled, he kept rereading and rereading her name. He had read millions of letters with similar gratitude and support for them but somehow this letter felt different. He can truly feel the sincerity, a bit formal but still sincere. He also wondered if all the members received the same letters or each letter had a different message on it? It was a short message but it also felt very heartwarming. Suga thought that he’d ask J-Hope about it later. He didn’t know why but he had the raging thought of touching her hand. He wondered what happened to her during the accident she mentioned in the letter, he wondered what type of pain she felt, or what she felt when the doctors couldn’t save her voice, a thousand questions filled his mind as he kept staring at the girl in front of him.
He wanted to ask her, but he didn’t want to sound intruding. He instead took out the cap from his pen and wrote a note on her album and signed it. He handed back it to her and she accepted it with a blush. He smirked, “You’re the flame” he whispered to himself. She must’ve heard him as she turned her attention back to him while she handed the album to Taehyung. He looked at her and smiled, he mouthed “Fire” he didn’t know why he mouthed it but she smiled back and gave a nod, that was enough for him to give out a big gummy smile.
He somehow hoped that he’d be able to meet her again, but there it was probably impossible. Unless he tracks her down?
No, the management wouldn’t allow it. They should be on their best behavior, all eyes are on them especially now that their fanbase is internationally growing. But he really did want to see her again, was she from around here? Or did she have to travel?
Taehyung was still busy reading his letter, this was his chance to speak to her.
“Hey…”
She immediately looked in his direction, her eyebrows up lips pursed. “Are you from here?” he asked shyly. She only smiled and shook her head up and down, meaning yes?
The chance of meeting her again maybe wasn’t that impossible after all. Suga was about to ask her where she lives in the area, but she had already returned her focus to Taehyung, smiling widely at her.
“How sweet! Thank you, Athena, I will remember this” Taehyung beamed as he pocketed his letter. Suga wondered what was written on it. Athena was smiling shyly, surprised when Taehyung suddenly grabbed her wrist.
“This is for you as well, take care of it,” He said as he wrapped the silver bracelet he was wearing earlier on her wrist. Suga felt stupid for not giving her anything to remember him by, but she probably had a lot of their merchandise right?
He saw her blush as she tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. Taehyung must have really liked her letter for him to give her his bracelet. She observed her new gift with sparkling eyes, a smile so big that her cheeks bunched up together. She bowed and mouthed a thank you at Taehyung who copied her by mouthing the word welcome as well. She then took her album from the table and waved goodbye.
“She was sweet, wasn’t she Hyung?” Taehyung mentioned
Suga only smiled when the next fan came up to him. “Oh my gosh! I was so stupid! I didn’t take a picture of you and Athena! I totally forgot!” the girl pouted in disappointment. Suga made a confused look “excuse me?”
The girl looked at him with an embarrassed look on her face. “Oh I mean the girl before me, Athena, she mentioned earlier that you were her bias, so I planned on taking a pic at least for her. I totally forgot!” she then slapped her forehead.
Suga blushed, bowing his head. “I am?”
The girl shrieked “Yes!! Well, that’s what she said earlier, I only met her here so I don’t know much about her but she said we could be friends so…why not right?”
Wow, this girl is a talker.
Suga took the album from her, wrote something, and signed it. “Well, then could you do me a favor?” This is a risk he was willing to take.
Surprised, the girl eagerly nodded. “Will you keep it a secret?” he asked. This was risky. Overhearing their conversation Taehyung piped in. “What are you planning, Hyung?”
Suga leaned closer to him and whispered something in his ear, Taehyung only made an ‘are you sure?’ look. Suga shrugged his shoulders and motioned for the girl to come closer.
He had to make sure she wouldn’t tell anyone but Athena or else he’ll have to switch numbers again and the management will fry him. “The number I wrote on your album, give it to Athena and tell her the words “You are the flame”, she’ll know what it means” The girl intrigued nodded obediently, “but please do not tell anyone about this, I’m trusting you,” he said.
“Cross my heart” the girl beamed. He gave her a thumbs-up as she waved a goodbye and nearly jumped up and down towards Taehyung.
Taehyung only gave him a look that he knew that he didn’t approve of his plan but the few minutes of meeting her intrigued him so much that he was willing to risk his privacy just to meet her again. It was a bonus knowing that he was her bias, maybe that was why she was blushing the whole time? He had hoped she hadn’t noticed him blushing as well. Suga smiled to himself as another fan came up to him with eagerness.
“Athena” he whispered to himself...
About sweet home I think the desire to protect people is what made him turn into a monster, during the series he’s very calculated so that’s why we as viewers wouldn’t suspect him to turn into a monster. During the series he rarely shows large amounts of emotions but in the end we see him smiling because he knows that every will be safe. (He also “went back” knowing hyunsu was going outside)
Omg true true I mean I low key had a feeling that he was one based off how closed off he was. But it all makes sense I can’t wait for a season two and see what they do from them on cause we don’t know if he dies or not plus I wanna know what gonna happen with Hyunsu
What are your opinions about Hyun Soo and Eun Hyuk dynamics?
Hi anon!
Thank you for the ask and sorry for the [day] late reply. Wanted to rewatch Sweet Home and gather my thoughts.
Also, please keep in mind that this is all my opinions based on the LIVE ACTION kdrama and not the webtoon itself. From what I hear, there are more [or less] moments of their dynamics in the webtoon and one day I’ll actually check it out.
But for now, based on the kdrama, I do apologize, however, if my thoughts get rambly and incoherent regardless because I have feels. Lots of them. Especially in regards to Eun Hyuk (he’s a fave if you’ve noticed that I’ve changed and kept my icon of him for a few weeks now).
So essentially you have these two characters that are... different yet similar to each other. The differences are clear but it’s their similarities that are subtle. So subtle that one of them you’d even miss it being illustrated in the beginning of Episode 02. look at how their narratives mirror each other when they were researching the curse online.
I mean, heck, it took a couple of rewatches for me to realize that any voice overs had in this series were done majority by Hyun Soo and Eun Hyuk.
[placing a read more because spoilers but also there are a bit of pictures and I ramble... so there’s that...]
HANA YORI DANGO (ALL VERSIONS VERSIONS) BOYS OVER FLOWERS METEOR GARDEN
Best Makino Tsukushi Japan HYD
- Mao Inoue really embodied the strong female lead! Out of all of them she was the best for me. Character and visual wise.
Second: Shan Cai (Taiwan 2000)
Best Domyouji Tsukasa- Japan HYD
-He was funny, cute and a dork! He was the most believable for me character wise
Visual wise: Dylan Wang hahahaha
Best Hanazawa Rui: Hua Ze Lei - Taiwan Meteor Garden
I almost got second lead syndrome with this one
Japan HYD is close second!
Best Nishakado Sojirouh: So Yi Jeong Korean Boys Over Flowers
- loved his charm, his smile and damn his chemistry with Chu Ga Eul
Best Akira: Song Woo Bin Korean Boys Over Flowers
- badass loyal friend
- Vaness Wu was a close second
Best Chemistry: Japan! Love love love their chemistry, they made me cry so much even if I've already watched it a million times!
Yuki and Sojirouh: Korean Version was honestly the best, I love the things they added to their story and how Ga Eul realized her worth and stopped chasing after Yi Jeong. I honestly continued BoF just for them. They have more chemistry than the main leads ugh. I really hoped they would get another drama together!

Entering a bookstore with no money
I hate it when people in ya fandoms are like I blame *insert ya love interest* for my high expectations of men. Like those aren't high expectations that's just how men should act. Like, real men should meet those expectations lol.

//MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS - HERE IS THE ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM OF FINDING THAT RIGHT WORD!!!!!
I’ve reblogged it before, and I’ll reblog it again
I’m not much of a writer but for those that are.. I got you 😙😙
5-ITEM CHARACTER OUTLINE
1. CHARACTER A Character is made up of all their descriptors - their name, age, gender, sexuality, appearance, etc.
2. GOALS What is your Character trying to do, get, or achieve?
WIN - Battling against an opposing force and defeating it.
STOP - Trying to stop someone from doing something, or to stop something from happening.
ESCAPE - The character is trying to get out of one place/situation and into another, usually from danger to safety.
RETRIEVE - Trying to get something, or someone, whatever that may be.
3. MOTIVATIONS This is what drives your Character toward their Goal, making them do the things they do in your story. It is comprised of their Desire (what they stand to gain from accomplishing their Goal) and the Stakes (what they stand to lose if they fail).
4. CONFLICTS This is what gets between the Character and their Goal.
PERSON VS SELF is between the character and their own thoughts, feelings, ego, or body.
PERSON VS THING is between one character and something else, be it another person, object, or animal.
PERSON VS EXTRA-PERSONAL is between a character and the greater world or forces around them, such as society, nature, gods, or curses.
5. DEPTH We get to know the true nature of your Character when they are forced to act under stress. Regardless of who they appear to be, or who they think themselves to be, when they are forced to make difficult choices in pursuit of their Goal, the truth of who they really are is revealed.
“Pressure is essential. Choices made when nothing is at risk mean little. If a character chooses to tell the truth in a situation where telling a lie would gain him nothing, the choice is trivial. But if a character insists on telling the truth when a lie would save his life, then we sense that honesty is at the core of his nature.” - Robert McKee, STORY
Does anybody else get this thing where they have a new idea for a story except that its not really a whole idea? Just like, a picture or a scene from a movie unfolding in front of you? Only its so clear, so sharp and strong that you know its going to be a story. It burns inside you, making you replay it again and again, from a new angle each time because you want to know, need to know, how this fits in a narrative.
Like, you see the characters and how they look, you know the setting, you know the motivations (but not the context), and every minute detail and nuance of expression or shadows or well, everything.
You even know what sounds the characters can hear, what sensations they are feeling. You know what music would be playing if this was really a movie.
You just… don’t know how it fits into a plot yet.
Touch
Funny how a touch
In the same place
Can feel so different
Coming from two people
From your lover
A touch of the neck
On the small of your back
Or against your cheek
All touches of passion
Create chills up your spine
The kind of chills that topple empires
That topple my self control
And make me susceptible
To opening up once again
To being in love
The same touch from another
Leaves a different kind of chill
The kind of chill that leaves you awake at night
Awake remembering the times when your body was not your own
Remembering the days when your mind was under the control of another
When the hands of those you trusted
Became the hands you see in nightmares
For those were the hands that guided your own
And laughed as they watched
The blood stain everything it touched
Staining my soul
Making it so that the touch of another
Would leave me shaking
Unable to forget all of the hands that have done me wrong
