𖦹 JUL. 6 (SUMMER BREAK) — 10:30 PM
“OOOOH, WHO WAS TEXTING YOU?” Haewon teases, watching as you slide your phone back into your pocket. She takes a sip of her drink, wiggling her eyebrows at you from above the rim of the cup.
“It was just one of my friends,” you explained, shaking your head with a laugh. “He needed help with something.”
“Damn, do you need to go right now?”
“Nah, he’s actually just around here somewhere.” You glance around the party. “But uh… yeah, I think he’ll be fine.” You wave a hand dismissively, sure that Eunseok would text you again if he needed extra help with Sohee.
“You guys came together, then?” Haewon asks, tilting her head. “Are the two of you close?”
“Mhm! He’s pretty much my best friend. But I would never say that to his face.” You grimace, causing Haewon to chuckle. “I mean, we’ve been friends since middle school, so I’m pretty much stuck with him. And him with me, for that matter.”
“Oh my god, I totally get you! I actually know someone like that, too; we were neighbors as kids, and I haven’t been able to get rid of him since.” Haewon rolls her eyes lightheartedly, before she continues, “Hey, maybe we should have them meet. Like, I don’t know, a little playdate?”
You’re giggling at her interesting choice of words when something seems to catch Haewon’s eye from across the room.
“Hey, speak of the devil! I see him over there,” she says excitedly, pointing at somewhere behind you. You turn around towards the direction of her hand, finding a group of guys conversing among themselves by the staircase.
“Jake!” Haewon hollers, trying to be heard over the music blaring from the speakers. She waves a beckoning hand. “Come here!”
One of the guys, with neat dark hair and a pair of black-rimmed glasses perched upon his nose, turns around at the sound of his name. His eyes search the room at first, before landing on the two of you. He seemingly excuses himself to the others, before heading over to where you and Haewon were standing. As he approached, you noted the relaxed, charming smile adorning his admittedly handsome face.
“When’d you get here?” Haewon asks him in a somewhat accusatory tone as soon as he’s within earshot.
“Jeez, no hi, hello?” Jake says, feigning hurt. “I got here, like, five minutes ago.”
“And you somehow already have a drink in your hand. Nice!” Haewon snickers.
“Did you call me over here just to bully me in front of one of your friends?”
“No! Not really,” Haewon quipped. “I wanted to introduce you to her! y/n, this is Jake—the friend I was telling you about.”
“y/n?” he repeats. He meets your gaze, before offering his hand as the corners of his mouth quirk up into a friendly smile. “Nice to meet you.”
“Hi,” you laugh sheepishly as you shake his hand. “It’s nice to meet you, too.”
“What were you saying about me this time?” Jake questions, turning back to Haewon with his eyebrows raised.
“Nothing bad! I was just saying how funny it was ‘cause y/n here has this guy that she’s known since, what, middle school?” You give her a nod of confirmation. “Yeah, and, you know, we were thinking—“
She’s suddenly interrupted by someone else calling her name. You search the room for the voice and find a girl, likely one of her roommates, urgently beckoning her to the kitchen.
Despite not knowing what exactly the situation is, Haewon seems to understand that her presence is needed. “Duty calls,” she sighs, throwing her hands up wearily.
She glances between you and Jake. “But I mean, you two are good here, riiiiight?” she continues, starting to walk away with a mischievous glint in her eye. “Have fun! I’ll come find you again later!”
Haewon gives a not-so-subtle wink as she leaves, but you’re exactly not sure who it’s directed to.
You’re left standing next to Jake, now forced to make conversation with him without Haewon acting as the buffer. As you sip your drink awkwardly, you frantically think of anything to say to fill the silence, but Jakes beats you to it.
“Sorry, I don’t really know what her plan was when she called me over here,” he laughs as he rubs the back of his neck apologetically.
“No worries, I’m sure she left me in good hands,” you quip, earning another chuckle out of him.
As you’re talking to Jake, you realize that, for whatever reason, you can’t hold eye contact with him for more than three seconds at a time. Instead, you resort to glancing down into your cup or anywhere at the party raging around him. Regardless, you could still feel him studying you through his glasses, head subtly tilting towards you as he tried to catch your gaze.
“Okay, I hope this doesn’t sound too weird, but…” he says, sounding like he had been pondering this thought for a while. “Did you happen to take math with Professor Yoon last semester?”
You finally meet his eyes, your eyebrows raised in surprise. “Yeah, I did, actually! Were you in that class, too?”
He nods. “I was asking ‘cause I think I remember you sitting in front of me in lectures. You were always next to this one guy— pretty tall, has a hamburger sticker on his water bottle?”
You laugh, amused at his memory of such a specific detail. “Mhm! That’s Sungchan, we live together.”
“Oh, are you guys… a thing?”
“Nooo, oh no,” you find yourself saying a little too quickly. “We’re just friends. We live with two other guys.”
“Whaaat?” Jake’s eyes widen in genuine disbelief. “Wait. So you’re the only girl?”
“Unfortunately,” you confirm with a dramatic sigh. “I’m kidding, though. They’re all great.”
“That sounds… interesting. Or fun…?” Jake tilts his head thoughtfully as he tries to find the appropriate word. “Were you already friends with all of them before you moved in?”
You take this as an invitation to tell him about how you ended up in this odd living situation, even going into the rather ridiculous things you’ve experienced since moving in. Without realizing it, you end up talking for a good amount of time, but Jake doesn’t seem to mind, as he just listens to you attentively while you go into your spiel.
Once you’d practically recounted the past three months of your life to him, Jake could only amusedly remark, “Jeez, you guys sound like you’re living in a sitcom or something.”
“Might as well be,” you shrug with a laugh. “I dunno, I’d feel like you’d get along with them—my roommates, I mean. I think it’d be funny if you all met.”
“Yeah?” Jake laughs with a skewed smile. “Hey, I’d be down to meet them.”
This catches you off guard, leaving you blinking up at him in surprise. “Really?”
“Unless you were joking…?”
“No!” you blurt out. “I mean, if you actually want to…”
As Jake lets out a soft laugh at your reaction, you feel a blush creeping up your cheeks and to the tips of your ears. You fervently hope he doesn’t notice, or that he just chalks it up to you being flushed from the alcohol.
But as you watched him direct his ever-so-charming gaze back towards you again, you figured that, even he didn’t notice your blushing face, you were sure he had already realized at this point how you were inexplicably, undeniably, into him.

꒰ AUTHOR’S NOTE ꒱ me taking like half a year to continue this story only to introduce a new love interest for yn 🕴️ HEAR ME OUT OKAY!!!!
꒰ TAGLIST ꒱ open! leave an ask or comment to be added :) (strikethrough = can’t be tagged)
OFCCCC 😞 ive def been working on it but between writers block and being busy with real life stuff its been hard for me to actually finish the newest chapter but i hope i can get it out soon 🫡
but omgggg 😭 thank you for this ask bc tbh knowing that there r still people waiting to read it gives me so much motivation !!!! infrunami will be definitely be continued ^_^!
hi all!! sorry for the unplanned hiatus T_T life just caught up to me and stuff so i wasnt able to find time to work on infrunami as much as id like </3 but ive been working on it in bits and pieces, and i just wanted to let everyone know that this series has not been abandoned lol ^^;; hopefully i'll be able to get a new chapter out soon, sorry for the wait !
why can’t yall just be happy for seunghan, yes sm still needs to take accountability and take legal action against those certain ot6’s but we all knew that fuckass company wasn’t going to add seunghan back to the group so let’s just be happy and support seunghan at least he’s still able to achieve some part of his dream and i say part bcs riize was his dream
also i’m not saying you’re not happy for him or wtv i’ve just seen lots of briize being disappointed in him debuting solo which i understand but there’s some saying they won’t support him u less he’s in riize which is just ???😭
hi! i think fans are unhappy for good reasons. i love seunghan and will continue to support him. however, i can’t help but feel like sm is doing this to silence the fans. it literally feels like “alright, here’s seunghan stfu!” pls remember that seunghan was unfairly put in an indefinite hiatus for so long. he was unfairly removed from riize. he was sent funeral threats. and sm allowed for all of that to happen. this simply just feels like they’re announcing his solo in hopes that fans will go back to supporting and they’ll forget about everything that happened
the stark contrast between love and hate makes my heart so full, all these projects are so beautiful :(( i know sm hates to ses the goodness in the world. oh hani i hope you can see you are so loved ♡ good always wins ♡
y'all are getting too comfortable as time goes on with the fact that a 19 year old was subjected to crimes over and over again and bullied out of his dream at 21 by 100s of death wreaths.
if you cant even go without watching content, are you going to crumble when they release an album? because I think sm is going to be doing that considering y'all are being like this in less than a week.
theyre desperate and they'll do anything including having a comeback. it's very likely.
im not saying we have to be miserable forever and hold onto the awful thing that happened. im just saying that this is not over and you need to boycott because sm and ot6 ruined did something horrific and spat in our faces.
and all you have to do this press a button and not do anything. it's that simple. so do it.
hiii everyone! please sign this petition and assist briizes in bringing our seunghan back! we've been fighting for 10 months for the return of our lucky7 but we had all of our hard work taken away within the span of two days. we just want seunghan back and for our other 6 boys to be happy again. any help is greatly appreciated! RIIZE IS SEVEN 7️⃣🧡
whenever you're losing hope, please remember that you are fighting not only for seunghan's nor riize's justice but also for the future of all idols out there. a single password and hand sign means nothing when we know that even the members themselves want seunghan back. if riize could fight for 10 months for seunghan then so can we
hi to my small blog :) this isn’t a goodbye, but rather, a see you later :)
i’ll give it a month and see how the situation unfolds, and whether or not it would be possible for seunghan to return. the support he’s receiving is making me happy, and though i have been participating in this boycott for about eight or so months since seunghan was put on an indefinite hiatus, i do agree that the fandom needs a backbone.
1. boycotting is a choice. people especially those who decided to stan after seunghan’s hiatus are attached to the boys differently, and that’s okay. while i have my own personal feelings about some of the reasons behind why people won’t want to participate (e.g. “i don’t wanna hurt the boys”) i just want to reiterate that the boycott is first and foremost meant to hurt sm’s stocks, not the boys directly. this means not streaming, not buying albums, any merchandise, and not giving sm any revenue source. you are not hurting the boys for refusing to buy an album.
2. the boycott needs to be focused and to the point. the way this has been organized is disastrous in the sense that people are getting the wrong message and giving antis a chance to hop on and be malicious to the boys. remember: the point is to hurt the revenue stream, not the group. the industry, especially one that’s as hypercapitalistic as kpop, only cares about money. sm is a comparably larger company compared to blockberry, and it might seem hopeless, but these companies as well as their marketing team only see the uptick in attention through data and hard numbers, not through words. they only pay attention when one of their revenue streams are at risk, and a concentrated, organized boycott, especially one that’s done well, should at least send a message.
3. change only happens when there is concentrated effort. i’ve seen many talk big on boycotting only to have snippets of official content from social media. every youtube video, every tiktok, and anything distributed online generates revenue. a full boycott (and this is only directed to those participating in the boycott) means a FULL boycott. commit to the bit.
that’s all from me :) i’m still not comfortable touching any pending drafts from my drive, but i hope that something good comes out of the hellish year riize had to endure.
i'm coming back and posting this just to advocate for seunghan and that's it because it is the least i can do as someone who loved riize as 7 very much. i have been in contact with some big briize fanbases and have been sending out as many emails to journalists and kwangya 119 reports as i could. i hope you all can help out in any way that you can.
first of all, i hope that sm removing seunghan's name off their site under riize does not discourage anyone. please continue to boycott. i can't stress this enough, we CAN make a change.
here are some things you can do to help our voices be heard:
this link has EVERYTHING you need to know, please read it!
sign this petition!
mass unfollow and report ALL riize's official accounts under spam!
mass report to kwangya 119, the template is here!
do NOT vote for riize on ANY music shows/awards since kfans said they can do it without us, show them that we have a voice too.
if you are in korea next week and can join the face to face protest, here is more information on that.
support/donate to any ads or trucks or projects you see that will be sent in support of riize and seunghan.
do NOT stream riize's music on any platforms.
here is a list of media contacts and template you can use to help get more media coverage on seunghan's situation.
trend all the hashtags you see across X, tiktok and weverse.
do not give up on seunghan! every fandom has come together to help briize, leeteuk from superjunior has reposted the situation, lee sangmin has deactivated, sm knows what is going on, they see us, they hear us, let this be a sign, let this be your motivation to make a change for the kpop industry. we do NOT support sm and their treatment towards their artists. boycott and make a change. even if it's one thing off this list, even if it's a simple reblog to help spread the word. please share, please help seunghan get justice. if you are a fan of riize you know how hurt they are right now. let us be their voice.
if you have any questions at all my asks are OPEN. i'll only be posting in relation to seunghan on this account for the time being. thank you.
