I love the arrangement series so much! When will you post another chapter of the story ? You are truly the best writter! Im a fan 🥹. I hope you are okay wherever you are right now 🤍
Thank you so much! I’m hoping one day I can. I planned a hiatus and then it turned into something much longer than I originally planned. Life wiped me out. I hope you are okay as well! See you soon! ♥️
I decided to read the Counterplan again today and was happy to see there are two new updates. A little upset I missed then when they first posted but happy to have something new to read 💜 I hope you are doing well
Aww. I’m happy you found them and enjoyed them! ♥️
I have a feeling part of this upcoming album’s concept is going to fit to The Arrangement series almost as good as Love Killa did. And some for the other parts are going to fit the mafia blog. ♥️
Wonho’s hand rested against the small of your back as you made your way into the restaurant. He had picked a placed that was a little more upscale than you had expected, but Gina seemed to enjoy it. She stared wide-eyed as she took it all in. A bright smile on her face.
“Thank you for this,” you smile a him as he leans into you.
“Anything for you and your lovely sister.”
You laugh a little at his current schmoozing. The hostesses began to lead you back to the reserved table and his hand fell to wrap around yours. He gently pressed his lips to your knuckles as you were guided into your seat. You blush hot as Gina practically swoons at his actions. He gives you a cheeky grin before taking his own seat.
Once you had ordered you fall into an easy conversation as Gina shares what she had been up to for the past year or so to Wonho. You were already aware from the phone calls, emails, and texts she sent during that time.
He smiled and listened to every word. You admired him as he did, noting the bright twinkle in his eyes. He was happy here with you and that made you happy. He catches you admiring him and winks before reaching for your hand under the table. A gentle squeeze and you instantly tangle your fingers with his.
“I’m glad my sister has found you,” Gina confesses quickly after catching the look you were sharing with Wonho. You blush and look away and he chuckles agreeing quickly before the server returns with a bottle of wine and the first course.
….
You leaned into Wonho’s side as you walked out of the restaurant. Full and content with the evening.
“Are you going to stay the night?” He whispers in your ear. His lips brushing the shell of your ear sending shivers down your spine. You nod, biting your lip.
“Can we drop Gina off and let me change?”
“We can drop her off, but I would like to remove the dress tonight.”
You blush and nod once. You could allow that.
“Gina?!” A familiar voice calls and you both look to see Ian calling for your sister. His gaze finds you when Gina immediately moves back into your side. His gaze floats to Wonho and turns colder at the sight of another man touching you.
“Gina,” you say softly grasping her hand and pulling her into your other side. You didn’t know what Ian would do, but you didn’t like the look in his eyes at the moment.
“I’ll get the car,” Wonho says, his voice a little more tense now. He steps up to the valet as you do your best to ignore the hard stare of disdain from Ian while he helps his new girlfriend out of the car.
You keep your eyes glued to Wonho’s back and stay where he left you. He glances over his shoulder at you and the look in his eyes gives you a little peace of mind. You were fine and you were happy, no need to be worried or ashamed.
“Hello Gina.” Ian says cooly as he approaches. His gaze hardening when he turns to you before he loops his arm around his girlfriend. “Darling, I would like you to meet my ex-fiancée and her little sister, Gina.”
Your cheeks heat when she stares at you openly sizing you up.
“Cars here,” Wonho breaks into the conversation returning to you. His touch soothing you as he pulls you closer to him and guides Gina to go first.
“Let me guess you are her new beau.” Ian asks, a sharp edge to his voice again.
“Yes, excuse me,” Wonho replies trying to get around him after he puts Gina in the car. He opens your door and you start to slip in.
“I knew I would be hard to replace, but to pick someone like him,” Ian scoffs before smirking. “You’ve really hit rock bottom haven’t you?”
“Wonho,” you warn after you see his jaw tense. “It’s not worth it. I’ve had a nice night, let’s not ruin it.”
He nods helping you into the car before shutting the door. He jogs around to his side and gets in before pulling away.
“He’s just jealous, you know,” Gina says quickly, but you don’t reply instead staring at the landscape. Wonho’s hand finds yours, giving it a gentle squeeze.
“Ignore him. She’s right, he’s jealous.”
“I know,” you return lacing your fingers with his. “Already forgotten.”
He grins and you smile back before turning back to the window.
*this one is a little short, but exciting. Enjoy!*
“They want to meet me?!” You ask in shock.
You were currently perched on the edge of his bed in nothing but his t-shirt as he got ready for bed. You admired his back muscles as he brushed and flossed his teeth. He glances at you through the mirror and smirks a little at seeing your eyes large in surprise.
He finishes and pads back into the room. “Yes.”
“Why?” You ask as he moves you backwards up the bed until he settles above you.
“You’ve been occupying a lot of my time so they want to meet you.”
“Mmm,” you muse as his hands slip up your thighs. “All of them are in similar situations correct?”
“All but Shownu. Hyungwon too, but he isn’t ready to admit it yet.”
He edges his hands up your body until they are diving under your shirt to find you braless. His touch gentle as his fingertips skate across your ribcage and back down
“Fine,” You agree as he leans down over you. Your hands sliding down the expanse of his back. Your need already growing to an unbearable level.
His lips on your neck, kissing and nipping at the soft skin. “Well my sister wants to meet you too.”
He freezes before lifting his head. You bite your lip in worry, scared you had overstepped.
“Does she know?”
“Not exactly. She knows the fundamentals, but not the details.”
He quirks an eyebrow waiting for more.
“She thinks we are dating,” you huff. “I told her we aren’t.”
“Oh, but we are,” he says before leaning back down. “At least in her mind.” His lips find yours for short kiss. “Let’s let her think what she wants.”
You shiver once his hand slips between you legs touching your panties and pressing against you.
“Besides it’s fun to see you get flustered Love.”
“But-”
“End of discussion,” he cuts you off with a smoldering look that you melt for. You pout and he winks before moving his hand back between your legs.
“Wonho!” You gasp, heading tipping back as he rubs the fabric against you a little hasher than before. You shudder, legs splaying as a sign of wanting more. He smirks against your chin. “Please,” you pant as he continues to tease you. “Fuck me.”
“My pleasure Baby.”
—————————————————————————
Earlier that week:
“We should get to meet her,” Minhyuk argues back. “You’ve met ours and she is staying around for a while right?”
“Yes,” Wonho mutters, rolling his eyes. “She is.”
“You like this one don’t you?” Hyungwon teases.
“I like all of them,” Wonho tuts back taking a sip of his water before turning to Shownu who is silent but watchful. “Yes?”
“Nothing,” he shakes his head but Wonho sees the coy smile he is fighting back.
“It’s something.”
“It’s nothing. She seems nice from what I was told.”
“Tell Lena thank you for the kind words,” Wonho says with a soft smile. He was still fond of her even if she had chosen his oldest brother instead of him. Shownu flashes a smile.
“Min’s right,” Kih says quickly. “We always get to meet them. And unless Hyungwon is right then we should get to meet her.”
Wonho rolled his eyes again. “No games with this one. She’s staying and really needs my help. Is that understood?”
“On a scale of 1 to 10 how mad are you for me skipping out last night?” You ask your sister as you take a spot next to her on the sofa and pass her a to go coffee cup.
She had already been up when you came back with fresh coffee, but Olivia was nowhere in sight and her door was still shut.
“Since you brought me coffee, 3.”
“Mmm,” you muse.
She sips her coffee before her head rests on your shoulder. You waited for her to explain further why she wasn't more upset with you, but nothing came from her. Normally you’d expect her to be a little more upset about it.
“You seem cheerier this morning. Would that have to do with a certain someone who you haven’t told me about yet?”
You quirk an eyebrow and she giggles before glancing at Olivia’s door.
“She spilled last night after you didn’t come back.”
“Noted.”
She shifted. “Come on Sis, it’s fine. I’m happy you’ve found someone of your own choosing.”
“Me too.”
She snuggles into you and you both enjoy the quiet of the morning and the coffee until it runs out.
“He’s been good for me you know,” you murmur softly. "I was a wreck after finding out Ian wasn't faithful and our engagement ending. I was mad at him, myself, and mostly disappointed that I had let everyone down."
Her head was now in your lap and you were playing with her hair. She sighs, tipping her head into your touch more.
"He's the asshole."
“Agreed, but it's better now. Wonho has showed me that I am okay without Ian and that I don’t have to be what they decided I would be all those years ago.”
“From what Olivia says he seems decent.”
“He is wonderful,” you correct.
She giggles. “What does he do?”
“Owns a company,” you respond. Her lips part in shock and you giggle a little. “What?”
“Why do you always end up with weathly men and I can’t even get a date?!”
You laugh more. “It’s not like that. We are mostly just friends. I met him after Ian and he’s just helping me that’s all.”
“Are you sleeping with him?”
You pause and think about how to answer it. “Yes...”
“And he takes you out right?”
“Yes.”
“And you’ve stayed at his place.”
“Olivia is in so much trouble.”
She laughs before looking at you with the most sincere look. “You are dating.”
“We aren’t but you can think so.”
She shrugs, closing her eyes again as you resume playing with her hair.
“Do I get to meet him?”
“No.”
Her bottom lip pokes out and you smile a little. She was invested which meant she wasn’t angry or disappointed in your for abandoning the life your family had originally had in place for you.
Hello love! Just want to let you know that "The Arrangement series" is still by far the best I've read so far. So hands down to you!🥰 I just love the story flows and idea you put into this series. I can see that dedication and planning you put into it. My heart still sinks when I read to the last few chapters, like I could really feel the pain from MC 😢. BUT all is good! I love it and re-read the entire story last night. So thought I should drop you a msg. Hope you're doing well and HAVE A GREAT 2021, love! 💕
Thank you so much! That means the world to me. I miss the series so much. I miss writing so much. I miss you all too! I’m so glad it’s special enough for you to go back and reread it. It’s one of my favorite creations. I hope 2021 has treated you well so far. ❤️
With a heavy heart I am announcing a hiatus for the time being. I feel overwhelmed by all I want to do and the pressure to continuously post. This page has been going for over a year and the other ones for almost a year, if not just over a year, and I love it more than anything I had imagined. I enjoy writing, I enjoy interacting with you, but I’ve noticed my work has begun to decline in the amount I’m posting and the content isn’t as good as I would like it to be. It’s no longer a hobby or something to do for fun when I have free time, but feels like a second job. It’s not your fault as my reader, but my own for pushing myself so hard that I’ve burned out.
However, I will say that posting about Patreon and having many say they’ll sign up and then not, made me feel like my writing wasn’t worth it. I know that isn’t necessarily the case, we are in a pandemic and people are losing their jobs every day. But to be encouraged to create it and that some would sign up and then nothing… it was heartbreaking to be made to feel like I wasn’t worth it, that my content wasn’t worth it.
With that said moving forward, at least until December, I will be on leave working on improving my content and my storylines for all three Monsta X pages - Dreams, Mafia, and Desires. I ask that you wait for my return, but if you would rather not I understand. Thank you for your time and your kindness over the past year and half.
Things are going to start getting a little more intense and interesting from here! Enjoy! ❤️
The echo of your steps as you paced back and forth in the lobby of your former apartment building did little to ease your nerves. Your mind kept racing over the thoughts of how disappointed everyone would be now that the truth was coming out. Your sister was here, in Seoul, and you weren’t ready to share how much things had changed or even how much you had changed in the past few weeks.
You were equally nervous that Ian would show up and accuse you of stalking or something else equally absurd.
“Sissy!” Her familiar voice shouted out and you immediately turned, dropping your hand from your mouth to see her smiling at you.
You quickly gauged her suitcase to see how long she would be planning to stay, the bigger the suitcase the longer the stay. Thankfully it was small, or at least small for her.
“Welcome back,” you say with an attempt at a cheerful demeanor as you pull her into a hug. She squeezes you back before grinning at you from arm's length.
“It’s nice to be home.”
You smile weakly. “Where would you like to go first?”
“We can drop my bag off upstairs and go shopping if you are in the mood.”
“About that,” you murmur, folding your hands in front of you, ready to brace yourself for an explanation. She hadn’t given you much time to plan. Instead calling you after her plane had touched down in Korea.
“Giana?!”
Your head snapped up to see Ian coming through the door. Your heart clenching at the sight of him perfectly happy and looking well.
“Ian!” She beamed and moved to hug him. He peered at you over her head and you forced a weak smile with a simple shake of your head. She didn’t know. He sighed before pulling back and staring at her.
“How long are you in town?”
“A week, maybe two.”
He nodded. “Well, let’s get your bag upstairs.”
“No,” you say, your tone shifting to something darker and they both look at you. You wouldn’t allow him to hang this over you too. She needed to know, everyone did. It wasn’t like there was still a chance you would reconcile. “Ian, that’s not necessary. Giana will stay with me and Olivia.”
He frowns before letting her suitcase go. “Then why are you here?”
“She didn’t call me until she had already landed and it was easier to meet her here.”
He stares at you, gauging you, but you cross your arms over your waist and stare back.
“That’s the only reason?”
“Yes.”
“What is going on?!” Giana asked, her eyes flickering between you and Ian. She could feel the tension in the air, anyone could.
“We aren’t together anymore,” you mutter. “Ian found comfort in another’s arms so I ended our engagement.”
Her mouth falls open in shock and Ian just stares at you. He was surprised you had confessed so easily. He knew how much your future together had meant to your family.
“Let’s go drop your suitcase off at the apartment and we can do whatever you want,” you murmur, voice cracking a little as your grasp her suitcase handle and press past Ian with her hot on your heels. You don’t look back and you hope she doesn’t as you exit the building and head for a waiting car.
“I’m sorry,” she whispers, hand moving to cover yours, once you are both settled in the backseat with the Uber driver pulling away to take you to Olivia’s, and now your, apartment.
Wonho stared at you as you sat down at the piano and began to play a slow beautiful melody. He shifts, sitting up more once you began to hum along and a smile tugged at his lips. You glance at him and a little giggle escapes at his expression, pure shock.
You stop and fold your hands in your lap. “I’ve wanted to play since I saw you had a piano.”
“You can always play,” he set his glass tumbler down and moves to sit on the bench with you. “It’s never a question. That was beautiful.”
His lips press to your temple and he smiles at you.
“Do you play?” You ask.
He bobs his head yes, once before his fingers touch the keys. He begins to play another melody that is as equally soft, but this time he includes words and begins to sing softly. You beam at him before resting your head on his shoulder and closing your eyes. Swept away in the beauty of his voice. Once he finishes you lift your head, but his lips are on yours. A light moan leaves you while his arms find their away around you pulling you into his chest. Once the kiss ends he grins.
“Did you write that?” You ask. Your noses brushing from your close proximity.
He nods, smiling. “I dabble.”
“Sounds like more than dabbling to me.”
He shrugs and you roll your eyes at his modesty.
“Did you roll your eyes at me?”
“Yep.”
He smirks before pulling you back into him for another kiss. This one is different. The underlying tone making you shiver and press into him more. He groaned, hands tangling in your hair before it ends and he stares at you. Eyes searching yours. You smirk, proud of your effect on him.
“You like to tease me more than I think is fair,” he says, his voice barely above a whisper and it makes you shiver.
“I disagree.”
“Of course you do.”
You laugh before pecking his lips and slipping from him. You move towards the staircase and glance back to see him watching.
“Where are you going?”
Your bite your lip and tip your head, analyzing him before muttering your reply. “Your bed.”
Before you can take another step he is rising and following you. The need for you already flooding his senses.
—————————————————————————
The chime of a text message caused a groan of annoyance to leave the man beside you. He reached for his phone with his free arm, keeping you against him with this other arm. Your fingertip dragging down the groove between his pecs. You were tempted to plant another kiss against his soft skin. You lean and brush your lips along the curve of his neck and his grip tightens on you. You bite your lip before moving up to his jaw and pressing more kisses. He groans, eyes fluttering close halfway through the text. You knew just how to get a reaction from him now.
“Hurry, I want your attention,” you whisper against his skin.
After clearing his throat he reads the message before sending a quick reply and setting the phone down. He turns into you, pulling you under him.
“Where were we?” He asks before brushing his lips against yours. “Hmm?”
“Enjoying each other for another moment.”
“Right,” he muses before kissing you and your hand slips over his broad shoulders and down his back to slip the sheet away from him.
His growing erection enough to spur you on. You bite your lip, admiring him, his gaze glued to you, and you can tell you have him. He inhales sharply when your hand drags down the curve of his bare ass and around to the front. A grown quickly following when your fingertips brush against him.
“Fuck,” he pants harshly and you part your legs letting him settle there before guiding him into you.
“Slow this time,” you murmur into his ear after he buries his face in the curve of your neck at the feel of your walls around his length again. “I want to feel all of you.”
He lets out another sound of pleasure before nipping at your neck. He takes it slow, pulling out and pushing back in a slow and steady pace. Your breath mixing with barely audible sounds of pleasure. Hands find one another and tangle against the mattress.
But the sharp sound of his ringtone breaks the moment, he groans louder and you laugh.
“Answer it, it might be important,” you whisper, hand sliding over his bare upper body now that he had let your hands go.
He frowns but reaches over to grab it. You are busy with pressing gentle kisses to his chest and upper torso. His eyes squeeze shut as he tries to focus on the call and not how deep he is in you at the moment.
“Hyungwon?” He asks and you fight back a giggle at his strained tone. He looks down at you and you know he is struggling. Your hand slips between you and immediately his other hand is gripping the sheets as you adjust, pulling him deeper into you. He fights back a moan as his best friend since college asks him to join the game day celebration at his place.
You disregard the conversation already knowing he was going to decline as you touch your clit. He bites his lip, his eyes bore into you when a soft sigh of pleasure leaves you at getting some kind of attention.
“Stop,” he growls lifting the phone from his mouth. You shake your head, a little laugh leaving you. “I have to go,” he rushes out before hanging up the phone and tossing it. “You wanted slow, but you couldn’t resist a few minutes of my attention on something else?”
“Exactly,” you breathe pulling him back into you. “Your mine right now.“
Lips finding his as he starts to roll his hips again.
—————————————————————————
Hyungwon put his phone down and look at the others. “He’s not coming.”
“Why?” Minhyuk pouted, looking up from the takeout menu.
“He’s busy. I think he has a companion.”
Shownu clears his throat. “He does.”
“How do you know?” Changkyun asked.
“Lena.”
Everyone stared at him in surprise.
Shownu sighed before shrugging. “It was when she was still working at my mother’s store.”
“Oh.”
“I say let him be for now,” Kihyun speaks up. “He’ll come around eventually and tell us about her.”
“Agreed,” Shownu nodded before glancing at the others. Everyone seemed to agree on this one.
