âYou have some toothpaste on your lips, unnie.â Hanuel giggled, pointing at the woman who had entered the kitchen connected to the living room. âYouâre such a messy brusher!â She taunted, laughing as she tuned out the cartoon playing loudly on her iPad.
Solji snickered, wiping the white paste off the corner of her mouth with her index finger before sucking on it. âYeah,â she looked at Sunmi who hid a grin behind her hand, âi forget what iâm doing sometimes and get it everywhere.â She chuckles as Jongdae walked into the kitchen behind her. He winked at her, lightly tapping her behind as he went past.
Sunmi grimaced mockingly as she stared out of the large window, her face resting against her open palm. The penthouse was high above the settlement of the city of Seoul, curtesy of being two famous and well-looked-out-for ďżźentrepreneurs. They traveled quite a lot, having fun with one another while doing their job and Sunmi was left rest assured of her daughterâs situation as Jongdae took care of her whenever they went on trips across the globe. The day before they had arrived back in South Korea after touring Dubai, a beautiful wealthy country where the rich were kept well fed due to the oil percentages underneath their grounds, Sunmi had finally realised how much she travelled for work, but not herself. It really changed her prospective on her life in general.
A bored hum left her pink lips as the corners of her mouth twitched downward. The life she lived was prosperous, beautiful, full of good times, and hardships (leaving her sister behind, not staying in one place for long â besides for vacation or relaxation time â and so on), but there were faults in this life she lived that she couldnât press her perfectly, recently manicured nails (done up in Dubai, of course â nothing like self-care to bring her spirits up) on. She craved an adventure, something more than this schedule she had; it was almost like her life was a chore, not a life.
Seol Sunmi needed a change, and quick.
âNoona, we should get a ferret.â
Not that kind of change.
An idea popped up in her head as she looked at the two adults conversing in the kitchen, smiles and small, short laughter shared between the two. Sunmi glanced at her daughter, whoâs doe eyes were entranced by the flashing colours and squeaky voices of the characters on the small screen of her iPad in front of her.
She smirked, eyes darting between her best friend and her boyfriend.
âHey, Hannie,â Sunmi grinned, gazing down at the small girl who stared up at her, âYou wanna go on an adventure?â
Hanuel jumped up, her mother grabbing the iPad before it could drop to the floor, and chanted. âAdventure! Adventure! Adventure!â She shrieked in delight.
Solji gave the girl a look, whereas Jongdae made eye contact with Sunmi, who raised her eyebrows as she motioned to Solji with her eyes. He huffed.
â â Iâll choose her happiness over my own every time. â
â â I never craved attention, until I tasted yours. â
â â I hope to see you in my dreams. Tonight, tomorrow night, a month from now, even a few years. Maybe even⌠my last breath. â
â â You donât have to pretend. Not with me, never with me. Show me every side of you, every little flaw and I will kiss them with my touch and make you feel better, my love. â
â â We donât have to talk. We can just sit here. â
â â Believe me, I will never be tired of you. â
â â I love how you look in my shirt. â
â â There is no better way to start the day than seeing your face. â
â â Is it fair to say that you read the love letter and that this means âyesâ? â
â â I would like my good morning kiss now. â
â â why her? â -> â why anyone else when she exists? â
â â I donât believe in never. â -> â I donât believe in always. â -> â Well, opposites attract. â -> â Never. â -> â Always. â
â â Careful. â -> â What? â -> â Your smile. You look like youâre about to fall in love. â
Scenarios:
â He looks at her like he just realised what love is.
â A man/woman with charm is a very dangerous thing.
â Trouble never looked so goddamn fine.
â Nobody smart plays fair.
â Be careful who you trust, the devil was once Godâs favourite angel.
â Sometimes itâs you and your iced coffee against the world.
â Sheâs in love with him and heâs in love with her and itâs like a goddamn tragedy because she look at him and see the stars and he looks at her and sees the sun and they both think the other is just looking at the ground.
â The different love languages are vital in every friendship, situationship and relationship. Always.
â She/he didnât want love, she/he wanted to be loved â and that was entirely different.
â She/he cared. She/he always cared. That was her/his problem.
â For her/him, she/he would.
â He/she was all she/he wanted love to be.

â â Maybe we are meant to be, but just not this time. â
â â Vincent Van Gogh once said, âthe more you love, the more you suffer.â I believe that so much, you donât understand. â
â â How long was forever in your favour? â -> â Just a second. The second I believed. â
â â I didnât blame you for not loving me, I blame you for pretending you did. â
â â I tried to hold onto you hand; a hand that never seemed to fit into my own. â
â â I just need this moment. This last one. â
â â Whyâd you let go like you were the only one holding on? â
â â What I mean is, Iâm going to stop watering a dead flower, expecting it to grow again. Itâs over, this is over. â
â â Arenât you tired? Can we stop this and give our hearts rest? â
â â We shouldâve leaned. But we didnât. â
â â This canât possibly be happening. â
Scenarios:
â She loved him and he loved her, but it wasnât that simple.
â And suddenly, sadness turned into anger.
â She/he didnât deserve that. He/She knew it too.
â Maybe they were meant to meet, but not to be.
â The love that leaves is a love that never should have been.
â There is no clearer message than silence.
â She/he fell in love with his/her words. Unfortunately, he/she was a good liar.
â Every scar tells a story, every smile hides one.
â Saying what you are most afraid of saying, say it.
â Wasnât that the definition of home? Not where one belonged, but where one would be wanted.

WHO IS KANG AERIS?
On June 11th, 2015, Kang Aeris, a female trainee of Linear Enterprises, a company dedicated to shine the spotlight on talented individuals and groups both young and old, debuted with her best friend of three of five of her trainee years.
Kang aspires to be the reason youngsters choose to believe in something they lost hope in. She, alongside Hyun Jang-Mi, âhope to provide a sanctuary, a safe place, for those who need it. We cannot be there in person for them, but we hope to be there for them through our songs, a sort of⌠communication from one person to another.â
âQuoted from June 27th, 2017 during an interview found here: www.koreaboo
Kang Aeris was found to be battling with her own mental health after confessing to thousands of fans on her Instagram live (from December 12th, 2017) that she faced many hardships growing up. She revealed to have a guardian, and not parents as they refused to take responsibility for their actions and for their childrenâs childhood. Kang had also said that there were many times when her father would be present and sober, but he would fall victim to drugs and alcohol once again while her mother was diagnosed with Bipolar and Schizophrenia, making her extremely difficult to deal with and therefore she was found to have died by an overdose of heroin. Her father died of liver, heart and kidney failure as his toxic drinking (and drug) habits finally caught up him. That left Kang in a very awkward situation: what would happen to her and her siblings? The order of the siblings from first to last born: Jae-hee (f), Aeris (f), Lilly (f), Hyeon (m), Hye-sook (m) and Iseul (f). The idol was left to fend for herself and her siblings.
Due to Kangâs refusal of the continuation of detail from her childhood, no other confirmed allegations have been brought up since her physical argument with a saesang, who overstepped her boundaries and was put to the floor after making an inappropriate comment to her face. The saesang was announced to have been fine, only being bruised around the eye, a broken nose and a fractured wrist. She herself had a lot to say about the damage done to her, a lot of which we will not be able to disclose due to the inappropriate language used. But, whoâs with me when I say I was rooting for Kang? âCause damn! That woman may only be 5â5â but she has some strength.
Kang Aeris was born October 31st, 1997 and, with photographic evidence, was proved to have attended the same school and class as BTSâ Jeon Jungkook, and even dated him before his debut! It was said that the two were very close but when Jeon continued his path to a bright future of an idol career, the two grew apart, petty arguments aroused frequently â whether at school or on a day outisde of school â, they barely showed affection and the cherry on top: Jeon had fallen in love with his older hyungs, who he is now in a happily committed relationship with â yes, all seven of the BTS members are dating!
Kangâs management confirmed in the early days of July that she had not dated anyone since their breakup, causing rumours to arise between the two old lovers.
To read more on our star of the week, the link below will direct you to our main website, where we reveal the juiciest, the thickest secrets of our beloved idols!
âArticle 382, IdolFind
Jang-Mi being angry was an understatement. âWhat absolute bullshit!â She yelled over the phone. âI canât believe them right now! Youâre in Seoul, without me, and the public are gonna start on you, I just know it!â
Aeris stayed quiet for a second before deciding her next words carefully. âIâll be okay, Mimi. I have security, and itâs only the MAMAâs, so itâll be packed with idols so fans, saesangs and the public canât get to me.â She explained. âThey wonât even be able to reach me on stage.â Her eyes flickered to the window that displayed a clear, beautiful view of a sunset over the large city of Seoul. âPlus, youâll be here soon anyways.â
âMhm.â She replied. âSure, sure, and why donât we just throw in the fact that BTS are gonna be there too!â Jang-Mi was protective over her maknae, and refused any type of harm to touch her because they had a sister-type bond, nothing more, nothing less. âRumours are gonna spread the second you walk in after them, I can guarantee that.â She huffed, âJust like the moment me and Eloise met in France, and suddenly everyone was all over us.â
Aeris chuckled. âBut you two are actually dating, and Jungguk⌠wellââ
âDonât you dare finish that sentence because I know youâre acting in the heat of the moment and rethinking everything. Donât, cheonsa, please donât do this to yourself. Not again.â Jang-Mi pleaded, voice stuttering with emotion. She sounded like she was going to cry, and Aeris couldnât blame her. The last time Aeris thought of Jungkook in that particular way, it wasnât pretty; she became depressive, rarely responded to her older sister and Jang-Mi alike, until she ended up attempting a threat on her life. That attempt was painful, and Aeris was in mental pain whenever she thought of it, she could still feel certain parts of her body shaking with spilling blood and the painâ
âI have to go, cheonsa.â Jang-Mi said, disappointment clear in her voice. She sighed into the receiver and the two said their goodbyes, both wanting to stay on longer, but Aeris needed to get dressed and ready while Jang-Mi was still on her way from the airport, having to get dressed in the limousine on the way. âIâm on my way, so sit tight, yeah? Iâll be with you soon.â
After her best friend hung up, all the lonely woman could do was gaze and admire the sun setting beneath to buildings in the distance, small rays making their way in between the tall structures. Clouds slowly drifted past as the different light shades of the horizon turned darker with the passing time. Before she knew it, an hour had passed and she had two hours before having to make attendance at the award show.
She stood up from the bed, shaking her head lightly to get rid of her sudden dizziness as the door opened, revealing her two other members, make up and clothing artists and her manager. They clustered into the room with a trolly containing their accessories for the night.
âOkay, girls,â Su-Yeon, their manager, started, gesturing for the the three of them to crowd around her, âtonight will be a bit difficult to comprehend but Iâll make sure to explain it while you get ready and again on the way, yeah?â She looked between the girls and they nodded with determined smiles. âOkay, good plan. Now, go.â She responded with a smile of her own as the girls were ushered to their own small station by their team to get them ready.
ŕźâ§âËâ§
Jang-Mi swiftly closed the door behind her and the car took off almost instantly. âWhat a call, am I right?â She laughed, and Victoria shook her head at her.
âYouâre lucky,â the latter started, âwe almost left without you, dodo.â
The former frowned playfully, âI love you too, itty bitty titty vicci.â It was her time to smirk as the woman in question choked on her spit.
Mabel and Aeris shared a look of amusement before chuckling together. The two maknaes were close, but not as close as Aeris was to Jang-Mi as the two of them had trained together for three years. Mabel was closer to Victoria as they shared many interests and factors and enjoyed each otherâs company quite frequently, whether it was going for a walk, reading together, dancing, producing or vocal practice, they did it together. Their bond was almost as powerful as Jang-Mi and Aerisâ, who instantly hit it off the second they met.
Aeris leaned against Mabelâs shoulder, the older woman softly dropping her head on top. She loved moments like these: Victoria and Jang-Mi playfully arguing while she and Mabel sat back and watched it happen. Moments like those helped her stay calm and relaxed, and she needed all the calming sentiments as possible because MAMA was a big deal for her. Ever since the MAMAâs were created, Aeris was interested. She wanted to do what the artists did, she wanted to sing and dance and perform for thousands, if not millions.
A dream, she called it.
A moneymaker, her parents called it.
She didnât care about them, though. They did nothing to help her raise herself and her siblings, they didnât care about any of them because if they did then they wouldnât have done what they had. She almost felt bad whenever she thinks of the fate they came to be; ashes in an urn, to which no one visits.
Aeris closed her eyes, trying to calm her nerves when the weight of Mabelâs head on her own was lifted and her shoulder suddenly disappeared. She peeped an eye open and there sat Jang-Mi in all her glory, smoothing down her hair before replacing Mabelâs old position. âYou okay, bubs?â The elder asked. She received a quiet hum. âJust focus on your breathing.â She whispered, âSuyeon-ssi is going to explain tonightâs plan and Iâll tell you when weâre seated, yeah?â Another quiet, but hesitant hum.
The rapper smiled, before leaning the side of her head on Aerisâ, ready to listen to her manager. Victoria and Mabel sat with no spare space between them. Theyâre like each otherâs anchor, Suyeon mused to herself.
The manager cleared her throat. âNow, when we get there, we need big smiles, teeth and even gums if possible. Iâm looking at you, Mabel.â
Mabel grinned in response.
âVictoria, youâre the leader, therefore, youâll be getting out first and it will be absolutely packed â I spoke to Daniel about it, itâs pretty chaotic. You need to make sure these three donât go wandering, but whatever you do, stick together as much as possible, okay?â
Victoria nodded sternly.
Suyeon turned to Jang-Mi, who immediately perked up, but not enough to disturb her occupied best friend. âJang-Mi, it is important for you to stay by Aerisâ side all night, okay? If she goes to the bathroom, so do you. If she wants to speak to another group, so do you. If she does absolutely anything, you need to be there as well.â The bleached-blonde shook her head in agreement. âWe canât risk the paparazzi or saesangs getting sight of her. She wonât be able to handle them on her own.â
Jang-Mi smiled, looking down at her maknae. âIâll make sure of it.â
âGreat.â Suyeon turned to stare out the window as car came to a slow stop. The flashing and shuttering of the cameras awoke Aeris as she sat up and prepared herself for the worst, mind still slightly foggy from her short trance. She busied herself with preparation of checking up on her make-up and smoothing down the creases in her clothing.
âOh, and Jang-Mi?â Suyeon asked, opening the door and allowing Victoria to step out, Mabel following.
âKeep her far away from Jeon.â
ŕźâ§âËâ§
The venue sparkled and shimmered with circling bright lights. Idols from varieties of different groups, and soloists, were crammed into the bottom, near the centre stage as fans of many surrounded the upslope sides, lights sticks raised and waving.
Jang-Mi held tightly onto Aerisâs hand as they walked down the steps, the two girls in sync with the others movements. Victoria led the way, manoeuvring past different people and seatings to find their own space. Luckily, it wasnât too far from the stage, and therefore, it would be a lot easier access to backstage to get ready before they performed. Aeris scanned the area, a breath of relief escaped her when she realised she was out of the clear and confidence striking her as the coast, she deemed, was clear.
They reached their assigned seating. With twenty or so minutes to spare and the cameraâs already rolling, the four of them decided to chatter amongst themselves.
âWhat⌠is your biggest flaw?â Mabel dragged out, her chin rested on her open palm as she awaited an answer. Victoria instantly shot up. âGo on.â
Victoria cleared her throat. âForgetfulness.â She answered proudly. Jang-Mi scoffed. The younger of the two held a sharp look. âWhat?â
Jang-Mi chuckled. âDonât worry.â
âNo, no. I will worry. Tell me.â
âShare with the group!â Mabel clapped excitedly, a large smile on her lips.
Jang-Mi shared a look with Aeris, who raised an eyebrow with a smirk. The latter turned to Victoria. âForgetfulness, sure, but youâre forgetting your Egoism.â She leaned back onto the palm of her hands as her best friend placed a hand on her thigh, the placement just above her knee.
Mabel laughed. âMy flaw is I have no flaws.â She flipped her long hair back over her shoulder.
âI refuse to believe that.â Jang-Mi scoffed again.
ŕźâ§âËâ§
Jungkook couldnât keep his eyes off of her. They wandered from her face, to her crossed legs and to her boot-clad feet. She was still as beautiful as the day he left her. Fingers appeared in front of his vision, blocking and blurring Aerisâ figure. It was Jimin. His hyung looked at him in concern.
âWhatâs wrong, kook?â He asked, his hand coming up to rub Jungkookâs bicep soothingly.
âItâs nothing, hyung.â The maknaeâs eyes rotated away from his lover to the woman sitting there, legs still crossed, still leaning on her arms. Her smirk was gone but she was laughing. What he would do just to hear her beautiful laughter again.
Jiminâs eyebrows furrowed, following his eye line to see his younger loverâs first love. His heart dropped. If she was here, then rumours will arise, especially with himself and his partners seated so close to hers. Jimin watched as Aeris threw her head back and laughed at something one of her band mates had said. A smile appeared on her face, and he himself couldnât help the upward twitch of his own lips. He bit his lips to stop his smile, turning around to the others and leaving Jungkook to stare.
Seokjin, Yoongi and Hoseok were conversing about what take-out they wanted after the group got back to their hotel while Namjoon and Taehyung admired the lights and staging. Jiminâs worry only worsened when he realised Jungkook was still gazing at her, his facial features relaxed and adoring.
What he would do to see him not stare at her like that.
ŕźâ§âËâ§
The dress change had been very quick, along with the make up and hair. Microphones were removed from them the second they finished their routine and disappeared off-stage.
It had been exhilarating.
The four women were released from back stage and made their way back to their seating arrangement. Mabel and Aeris fell behind Victoria and Jang-Mi, who conversed and poked fun at one another, like sisters (just less violent). Aeris smiled unconsciously.
âYou did good out there, you know?â Mabel said softly, looking at her maknae with something she wasnât able to identify.
She nodded slowly, exhaling. âYou did too, SB.â
âYou didnât just call me that.â Mabel scoffed in disbelief. They walked past a couple girl groups on their way. âI thought we dropped that.â
Aeris smirked, shaking her head. âDefinitely not, it was too good to pass up.â As Mabel went to rant about how she did actually know how to cook smoked bacon properly, and almost burning down the dorms wasnât entirely her fault, but Jang-Miâs as well, she locked eyes with brown.
A man. A man she knew all too well.
Min Yoongi, present lover of her past lover.
His feline eyes softened a smidge, before hardening as he stared her down. Her breath had been stolen as she ambled past with Mabel droning on. The second they walked past, she could still feel his eyes on her back, burning through her clothing, through the skin on her back and into her soul.
Aeris inhaled deeply, eyes widened as she moved on. She hadnât recovered, despite her putting on a mask of calmness, as she sat down. Her eyes scanned the stage, bright lights invading her clear view as another group performed. She dared to glance his way, only to see him leaning forward, elbows rested on his knees, hands lazily clasped between the space, his eyes on her every move. Her eyes averted. Her breath quickened.
âWhy is so he so beautiful, but so damn scary.â
âDid you say something, bubs?â Jang-Mi looked over at her, eyebrow raised. Aerisâ eyes met hers as she immediately composed herself. She nodded hurriedly, a sudden yawn escaping her mouth. Her hand moved to cover her action.
âYeah.â She mumbled, tired, and longing to go back to the hotel and sleep everything off.
Jang-Mi shrugged, nodding. âIf you say so.â Yet, her suspicions were hidden, she turned around to continue watching the other two interact, eyes glancing between them and the sight of her frizzled friend.
Hello Hello! :D
I just wanted to quickly say that this is a draft of something I started almost forever ago and I wanted to alter it and work with it as much as possible, so it wouldnât go to total waste.
If so, I am considering converting it to an âx readerâ instead of an original character. Although, I havenât decided yet and even then it would take a lot to turn a new page and avert everything to something like that. Itâs still in considering, though.
I also just wanted to say I have no update schedule and such cause Iâm going to be very busy with counselling and personal as such things. I will update whenever can. Hopefully soon though, because I quite like what Iâm doing with this work.
