I can't remember when I bought the K Records 2 LP retrospective "Sooner or Later" from Neo Boys, but it was certainly pre-blog. While Neo Boys have had a couple of mentions over the years the number is woefully low.
The band formed in Portland in the late 1970s and definitely have snarling punk sound from the time, they also have a riot grrrl feel that predates that sound by over a decade. They regularly shared the stage with The Wipers, opened for Nico, and one of the coolest facts, their first show was opening for Television.
Their sound is closer to The Raincoats, Kleenex/LiLiPUT, and The Slits. I was just listening to Moss Lime the other day, and I can't imagine Hélène Barbier wasn't listening to Neo Boys at some point before or during that bands time. And let's not forget Vomit Launch who came on the scene in Chico, California not long after Neo Boys left the scene.
Thanks to Mississippi Records (I didn't realize one of their early releases was a reissue of The Clean "Compilation") for releasing this "special art edition reissue of the bands 1980 debut single as well as their 1982 EP, "Crumbling Myths."

You're sitting at your desk—finishing up this major assignment for college. After many days of being stressed, you've been able to collect yourself and work calmly. It's almost midnight, 11:58pm, and your boyfriend who's an office worker still didn't come home yet. You're sure it's nothing and you get up from your desk to grab some fruit to eat in the kitchen.
You first wash your hands and apply soap—watching the lather increase when you rub your hands together. Then, you pick up some strawberries, bananas, and peaches—and wash them up before picking up a knife and cutting them and placing them into a cute platter. You wash the utensils you were using and go back into your room to finish up your assignment. You then hear keys fumbling outside and the door unlocking—to see a very tired Sungho walking into apartment.
"Hi love—I'm home," Sungho speaks out while loosening his tie and collared shirt. No answer. "Love?"
"I'm in here!" You yell out from your room while in the middle of eating an apple.
Sungho smiles and walks into the room, knocking first before he enters. "Hey babe," Sungho mutters as he throws his bag onto the bed and partially unbuttons his collared shirt.
"Hey…" you mumble right after you finish eating your apple. Sungho comes closer to you and kisses the crown of your head.
"Are you still working on any assignments?"
"I just finished, then I went to get fruit."
Sungho nudges you. "Atta girl," he replies while ruffling your hair. He then proceeds to hug you super tightly so you don't escape from his grip.
"Sungho…" your voice muffled because he's hugging you so tightly. "I can't breathe…"
"Then don't breathe."
"So you want me to die?"
"Noooooo," Sungho whines before he starts peppering kisses all over your face. You try to escape his grasp but that doesn't seem to work. He starts walking and you start walking backwards—until you feel your legs on the edge of your guys' bed.
"Sungho please!" and you collapse onto the bed with your very exhausted boyfriend on top of you.
Sungho looks up at you with those cute eyes in which you cannot resist. "Love…why won't you let me cuddle you…? Hmph!" Oh—well looks like your boyfriend asks cute when he's exhausted? That's a first. "I just wanted to kiss you babe…"
"Okay," and you let him pepper your face once again.
On your cheek,
Then your nose,
Then your jawline,
Then your ear,
Then both of your eyelids,
And right before he lands a soft kiss on your lips, he looks back at you with that tired smile of his—then he kiss your soft lips. They're cold, but they feel so addicting that you don't want him to let go yet just yet.
"Alright you big baby, go change into your pyjamas and we'll get you to bed. I'll cuddle you, okay?"
"Yes please," you hear his muffled voice as he nuzzles his face into your neck. "I love you baby…"
"I love you too," You reply to Sungho softly. "Now get your ass up and change!"
ᅠᅠ ೯⠀⁺ ⠀ 𖥻 사랑 𑣲 you give them flowers⠀ᰋ .ᐟ 𝑔𝓃! reader ★ 𝗰𝘄. none 𝐢𝐢 ♡ 𝖮𝟧𝟨𝟤
🪷 ୧ ꒰ ﹒fluffy , angst on moka's part, can be read as both platonic and romantic, short scenarios for each of them ﹒ ꒱ 𝐢 𝑡ags ⋮ ✶⋆ 𝒇iles
SANA who got caught by surprise when she saw the flowers on her door. it wasn't something unusual to receive those as a celebrity—after all fans gave her every kind of gifts—but those weren't from a fan. they were from you. at least she was sure the messy hand writing from someone who decided to include a little note to the flowers before leaving them. the next time you visited her? the flowers were inside her bedroom, by the window, happily flourishing just like your relationship.
MOKA wouldn't have expected the flowers. not at all. the kinds of stuff people gave her were little keyrings, sylvanian dolls and all kinds of little objects moka could collect. flowers weren't one of them. sure, a fan or another gave it to her but these were from a close person. from you. and that made it all more special. she would never admit it, but she had actually cried at night staring at the flowers—even feeling a bit guilty as you mentioned her hiatus and how you wished her a good recovery.
KARINA thought it was just a prank at first, that you were messing around with her and not really being serious. but as she picked up the flowers from her doorframe and brought them inside, she saw the little note you left her—something alongside the lines 'thank you for being my bandmate <3' with a little heart on it. she really wasn't expecting that, and she couldn't help the smile growing on her face while watching the flowers for a while, imagining how grateful she was that she had you.
JIWOO was speechless when you showed up at her dorm late at night with a flower bouquet in hands. poor girl barely reacted when you shoved them in her arms and said goodbye, running away. she was left there frozen in place, staring at where you came from—and also left—with warmth in her gaze. this wasn't something she expected, but she was happy you chose her out of everyone to give flowers. how did you know her favorites? she'd never know.
LIZ is a pretty girl and she knew that. throughout her whole life she was used to getting flowers and all kinds of gifts. but when they came from you, no matter how simple, she was always flustered. and now that you got her flowers?! oh, she definitely fell asleep like a content cat, thinking of you. it's always a surprise when you get her things, and no matter what it is, it's always a pleasant one. which is why she's probably already thinking on what to give you back as a thank you.
SOYEON is a busy woman since forever. she'd spend all her day thinking on how to do things better for her, but also mainly for the group. everyone got used to that—except you. which is why you showed up at the studio with a few flowers, leaving them on the desk where soyeon would see them. a note was attached to it, saying 'take a little break and spend more time with us, we love you <3'. it was not little to say that soyeon was both surprised and happy from the gift. and it worked! a few days later, she took a three day break with you and the others.

♡...
The sun had long disappeared beneath the horizon Gyehyeon insisted you stop.
"I'm telling you," he groaned dramatically, dropping his sword onto the grass before collapsing beside it, "my legs are giving out. If we keep walking, I'll perish right here."
"You've said that three times this week."
"And every time I meant it."
You only shook your head, unable to hide the smile tugging at your lips as you sat beside him.
Truthfully...
Your own ankle had begun aching an hour ago.
Coincidence. It had to be.
The cool air settled around you, carrying the crisp scent of pine and earth. Autumn had quietly slipped away, leaving winter to claim the mountains.
Your favorite season.
"...Winter already," you murmured almost absentmindedly.
A year.
It had been a year since you'd first met him.
Back then he had been nothing more than an irritating stranger who had grabbed your hand in the middle of a bustling marketplace, dragged you into trouble, and somehow never really left your side afterward.
Which was odd.
For someone who claimed he never stayed anywhere.
"Reminiscing?"
His voice pulled you from your thoughts.
You glanced over.
He didn't even open his eyes.
"...Just thinking." You hugged your knees to your chest, absentmindedly rubbing your ankle. "It's already been a year since you barged into this place."
A small hum escaped him.
"I quite like this place."
You snorted. "Liar."
He cracked one eye open. "Oh?"
"You've never stayed anywhere this long."
He simply smiled.
"So?"
"So..." You tilted your head, studying him. "I'm surprised there aren't wanted posters with your face on every city gate by now."
"There probably are."
"...You're serious?"
"Depends which city."
You laughed despite yourself.
"What changed?"
He was quiet for a moment.
Then he shrugged, closing his eyes again as another cold breeze swept past.
"They can't really do anything to me."
There it was.
That infuriatingly calm confidence.
The one that always made it impossible to tell where the joke ended and the truth began.
Rolling your eyes, you stretched your sore ankle.
A quiet hiss escaped you.
Before you could move again, warm fingers settled over yours.
"Gyehyeon—"
Your words dissolved into a surprised yelp as he gently lifted your leg onto his lap.
"I can do it myself."
"Mm."
"Gyehyeon...-!"
"Stay still."
It wasn't loud, not a command, just... sure.
He glanced at you once before lowering his gaze to your ankle again, his hands surprisingly careful as he slowly stretched it, feeling where it had stiffened.
His palms were warm.
Warmer than yours.
You found yourself relaxing despite every intention not to.
"...You're quite likable like this."
He looked up.
"Oh?"
"When you're not talking."
He grinned immediately.
"So you're finally falling for me."
You sighed. "Ruined it."
He laughed, rich and unrestrained.
You shoved his shoulder with an exaggerated huff while pulling your leg back.
Only...
Your foot brushed against his side and his smile faltered a little, taking a sharp inhale.
A barely audible hiss.
You froze. "...Gyehyeon?"
"I'm fine."
It was too quick to be natural. You liked to think you knew him well enough after an year.
Suspicion settled in your chest.
Before he could stop you, you caught the edge of his robe and pulled it aside just enough.
A long crimson gash stretched across his ribs, the blood no longer fresh but nowhere near properly treated.
Your expression fell.
"...This is from the other day."
He scratched the back of his neck. "Maybe."
"You told me you weren't hurt."
"I wasn't that hurt."
"You are bleeding!"
"Barely."
You shot him a look sharp enough to silence even him.
Without another word, you reached into your bag for the medicine you'd been carrying.
And he watched quietly as you cleaned the wound.
"You haven't treated this at all," you muttered, unable to keep the frustration from your voice.
"I forgot."
"You don't forget injuries."
"I do."
"You'll get an infection."
"I won't."
"It'll hurt."
"I've had worse.
"You'll still be in pain."
You continued rambling, exasperated, carefully applying the salve before your voice got quiet.
"...You should've told me."
You frowned when he didn't say anything.
"...You shouldn't have hidden it from me."
Still nothing.
Only when you looked up did you realize he hadn't taken his eyes off you once.
His usual teasing smile was gone, replaced by something quieter. Something like uncertain, unfamiliar feeling.
"...What?"
His voice came softly. "You sound like you care what happens to me."
The question caught you off guard.
Your hands paused.
"...What if I do?"
You didn't mean to say it aloud, atleast not like this.
Not with him looking at you as though the world had suddenly gone still.
His hand rose slowly, wrapping around your wrist where you held it.
Just tight enough to keep you from pulling away.
"Do you know the consequences..." he asked quietly, "...of getting involved with someone like me?"
You met his eyes, surprised by how serious he sounded.
There was no smile. No joke.
Only an unfamiliar heaviness.
You instinctively pulled back. "I'm not scared of you."
"That's not what I—" He stopped himself.
His fingers loosened around your wrist.
"...I..."
The word lingered unfinished.
You'd never seen him struggle to speak before.l
Never. He always had an answer. Always another joke. Always another smirk. Another distraction.
Yet now...he simply looked lost.
You frowned again. "What?"
He blinked. "...Nothing."
"Gyehyeon."
"It's nothing."
He finally leaned back, attempting that familiar crooked smile.
"There you go again," he chuckled. "Making things serious."
But when he tried to pull away, you didn't let him.
Your hand caught the front of his robe before he could retreat, bunching the fabric in your fist.
He looked down at your hands then back at you. For a long moment, neither of you spoke.
"...Answer me."
His smile weakened.
"...You're persistent."
"So are you."
Another silence.
When he finally spoke, his voice was barely above a whisper.
"...I usually don't let go of people once they're close to me."
Your breath caught.
Not acquaintances. Not allies. People close to him.
People he considered... his.
It was the first time he'd admitted something so vulnerable so plainly.
You noticed his gaze drifting downwards, slowly, almost unconsciously.
Stopping at your lips.
When his eyes lifted again, they held none of their usual mischief.
"...Can you handle that?"
Handle him. Every reckless decision. Every scar. Every piece of the past he buried beneath laughter.
Your heart pounded loud enough that you were sure he could hear it.
And something inside you simply gave way.
You leaned forward, giving him a quick kiss.
Soft. Barely more than a brush against his lips before you pulled back immediately.
His eyes widened. For perhaps the first time in his life, Gyehyeon looked completely caught off guard.
"..."
"..."
"...You kissed me."
Heat rushed to your face. "I..."
Had that been too impulsive? Too much?
You instinctively looked away. "...Forget it."
But he didn't let you turn away, his warm hand cupping your cheek, pulling you back towards him, closing the gap again between you.
The moment his lips were back on yours, the feeling returned, warm but unhurried. Tender but so so sure...
You hadn't quite managed to process the first peck but this was... You didn't expect him to be so soft.
This kiss lingered.
Like he was trying to convince himself of something, or maybe he was coming to a realisation.
Your fingers curled into the collar of his robe.
You melted into him after only a heartbeat's hesitation, feeling him smile ever so slightly against your lips.
It still wasn't enough. It already wasn't enough.
When he finally pulled away, it was only long enough for the both of you to breathe.
His forehead nearly rested against yours.
After deciding that was enough oxygen for him, he leaned in again, almost chasing after your lips.
You leaned away, face reddened, already out of it and then promptly pressed two fingers directly onto the untreated wound along his ribs.
He jerked back with a sharp hiss.
"Ow—"
"You're injured."
You looked entirely too innocent as you reached for the bandages again.
"No more distractions."
A laugh escaped him despite the sting.
"There she is."
You carefully wrapped the bandage around his torso, pretending not to notice the fond look he hadn't bothered hiding anymore.
Just as you tied the final knot, he leaned over.
Pressed a feather-light kiss to your flushed cheek.
Then murmured with that familiar, infuriating grin returning to his face.
you and your boyfriend finally get to have some downtime
۫idol!운학 x 𝒻!reader genre suggestive warnings 16+ established relationship making out slight hair tugging messy hair woonhak pet names (babe , pretty girl) LOTS of tension wc 903
from fae — i lowk got carried away so now this fic is 16+…this beautiful fic that made me drool while making this is for my bebe @lovehakie as she loves woonhak and malcolm happy bday my dear sweet nini 💕 (ty rosy for beta reading!) also listen to breathe by malcolm todd while reading this fic! . masterlist
It had been a while since you and your boyfriend, Woonhak, had hung out properly. With him being an idol—and with being an idol comes with hectic schedules, and your university semester being a little too stressful. Finally he's free and out of the dorms, and you're both cuddling in your room—your head on his chest and his right hand playing with your hair on the back of your head. You're both watching a movie on Netflix on your laptop when Woonhak opens his mouth.
"See, I don't understand as to why she's going back to him—HE CHEATED ON YOU TWICE GIRL, SAVE YOURSELF!" Woonhak yells as he points out the obvious.
"Woonhak, could you be any louder… it's almost midnight and you might wake up my parents," You respond to him while looking at him unimpressed.
"Well, I'll have you know that I would never cheat on you, babe—because if you cheat on someone, why did you even agree to date them in the first pla—"
"Shut up, it's the makeout scene," You cover your boyfriend's mouth with your hand and focus on the screen in front of the two of you. While the couple on the screen is making out and tugging on each other's hair, Woonhak seems to be bored out of his mind—like, bored to the point where he needs to do something in the next five seconds or else he's going to explode.
"Can we makeout?" Woonhak blurts out, leaving your eyes widened and your face looking like you've just got a sunburn. "I—I mean—we don't have to but like…I do wanna make-out with you but…" He stays silent for a few seconds. "I think I just made this whole situation awkward now."
Yes. Yes he did.
You and Woonhak have kissed before—giving each other pecks on the lips, peppering each other's faces with kisses and the occasional passionate kiss—but the two of you never made out before.
You both looked back at the screen and continued watching the movie. While you're perfectly fine—investing all of your time into the movie. Meanwhile, Woonhak was getting bored again until he finally gave in. He brought is hand to your chin and made you face him—and then he leans in.
"Um, Woon? What are you doing?"
"Shhhh…" and his lips meet yours. Well—almost. You cover his mouth with your hand for about 5 seconds before you pause the movie, get up from the bed and exit the bedroom.
Woonhak starts whining the second you get off the bed. "Awww babe—why did you leave? Come back!" He gets off the bed as well and follows you.
"I'm going to get more snacks," you reply. "Want something?"
"Yes—I want you~" he starts becoming needy while still following you.
You open a top cupboard when you feel a pair of hands creeping onto your waist. Then a soft kiss on your neck—followed by kisses to your jaw—then your ear. You hear a voice whisper into your ear, a breathy one. Woonhak's arms are now entirely wrapped around your waist. He's still kissing your neck, jaw, and ear. "I want you so bad right now…" Woonhak whispers into your ear. "You're so hot, y'know that?" He continues to kiss you softly. So softly that you can only feel the tingle at the the end. You life your head up and close your eyes as you feel the sensation of his kisses, your breathing becomes heavier.
You turn your head to face him and his lips meet yours in a soft, but firm kiss. He turns your body around—arms still around your waist, and lifts you up onto the counter. The kiss gets messier as your hands reach Woonhak's hair, slightly tugging it. He whines when you do so—letting go slightly with his forehead against yours, panting for air. He looks at you. "Come on pretty girl…" he gasps. "Let me take care of you."
Woonhak brings your legs around his waist as he lifts you off the counter, carrying you back to the bedroom as you both continue your messy makeout session. Once you both make it to the bedroom, he places you onto the bed as he climbs on top of you. Pinning your arms onto the bed as you're kissing.
"So…good…" you mutter, almost inaudible.
"Yeah? You want more?"
You nod eagerly once he asks. He starts nipping your ear. Then kisses your jaw, then neck. His lips travel to your collarbone as his hands explore your abdomenal area under your shirt. Your breathing gets heavier—and you tighten your grip of Woonhak's hair. His lips travel back up to meet yours in another kiss. This time it was more soft.
You both let go and Woonhak flips you over so that you're on top of him. His arms are wrapped around your waist, cuddling you tightly. Your head is on his chest. "So…how did I do?"
"Eh, could be better."
"You wanna break up?" Woonhak smacks you with a pillow.
"H-hey! I was kidding! You did so well!"
"That's what I thought." Woonhak replies, still holding you in his arms as you start drifting into a slumber. Woonhak also closes his eyes and you both fall asleep—him holding you in his arms. Both wishing to have this experience again.

IF THE GIGGLES COMING FROM the hidden room backstage wasn't anything to go by, the absence of both girls definitely were.
the group had won their first win with their new song, lemon tang, and right now, were about to get on stage to perform it. well, they couldn't go right away because two of the nine members weren't present.
stella and you.
poor jiwoo was going crazy trying to find you two—even if she was failing miserably, having to get yuha to reassure that you're probably getting water or something like that.
truth be told, you weren't too far from where you were supposed to. just a few rooms away, hiding inside the tight closet that no one remembered of it's existence.
“shh!” a giggle was heard from stella as soon as you tried sushing her, as if she didn't care if someone found you both there.
“no need to be so worried, yn. no one's gonna hear us.” she whispered, her breath tickling your face from how close she was.
“well if they do we're gonna get in trouble!”
she looked you from head to toe—the best she could in the dark room, at least—and smiled, placing a finger in front of your mouth, “relax, it's fine.”
well, that got you quiet, thankful that stella couldn't see your cheeks getting red.
you stared at each other for a while, as if the time wasn't quite literally just a few minutes away from disaster, until she let her finger down and leaned closer.
“don't get too used to this,” it came out more as a playful remark than a serious observation, but before you could say anything, her lips were pressing against yours.
it felt like time had stopped.
your hands found their way on her shoulder as she held you by your waist, kissing you in a way only lovers should do.
you didn't know stella kissed so well, and a jealous feeling grew inside you. who had kissed her before? has she done this with one of the other members too?
well, either way, you couldn't think too much with how good her mouth felt on yours, like you were tasting a bit of paradise with it too.
a few whimpers fell from you, making stella almost smile on the kiss, pulling you even closer—
“yn! stella!”
hearing ian's voice calling for you made you and stella jump away from each other, looking at the door in surprise before relaxing when you realized ian hasn't found you... yet.
the temperature in the closet felt like it had suddenly dropped, a way to remind you of what had just happened.
stella seemed to be feeling the same way, as she gave you one hesitant, shy glance, before opening the door and stepping aside for you to leave first—what a gentlewoman.
“uh, stella—”
“oh there you guys are!” carmen exclaimed while standing on the doorframe, unaware of the events that happened moments ago. if she noticed the faint blush in your cheeks, she didn't comment on it, too busy hurrying you both to get where you should be.
