Sometimes I feel like making a side blog specifically to bitch. Things have been pissing me off, weighing on me, and just making me cranky and sometimes I just want to vent and unleash. But I don't want to do it here, because I don't want that negativity on main.
But then I think, "yeah, but that just means that negativity will be elsewhere, and negativity breeds negativity, and I don't want to contribute to that."
So I resist.
But, yeah, I've been feeling kinda antsy lately. Unsatisfied with my creative attempts, frustrated/angered by the state of the world at large and my country specifically, little things are piling up to tick me off, and falling into yet another of my "What's the point, why am I bothering" anti-social phases.
Yo when I tell you I wanna be touched so bad! I want my ass grabbed, I wanna be kissed like it's the last thing I'll do (lol what the hell), I wanna hold hands with a special girl in public and be like "this is my beautiful, amazing and wonderful girlfriend!" But at the same time , I don't want my heart broken again 😂 feelings are hella confusing!

Jihoon X Reader [(Mentioned Seungkwan X Vernon) Brother! Seungcheol]
Requested: Hey, hey, I wanted to request Seventeen Woozi and #9 if it's still open! ^^
Prompt: 9. “It’s past cuffing season… Where’s my cute partner that I spend the holidays with?"
After third-wheeling my best friend and his partner for the past week. I decided I had enough and with that, I flopped onto the couch. Jihoon came over and asked me what was wrong, “I watched my best friend Seungkwan makeout with Vernon every other minute while we were hanging out,... I’m doing dandy.” He laughs, “That’s rough for you.” I shake my head, Jihoon is my brother’s best friend. And to say I’ve been in love with him for the past few years would be an understatement.
It wasn't until I was in my senior year of high school when I realized I had a crush on him. I went over to their place for the first time and he saw me and waved and struck up a conversation with me. My heart went, ‘that’s Jihoon? and you didn't tell us about him before'? I moved into their apartment because Seungkwan’s apartment was big enough to be a kid's bedroom. They had three rooms and one bath, and I was not about to turn down a cheaper rent payment either.
He knew I had early shifts, and he would always make an extra cup for me. Knowing he would pull all-nighters I made sure to have a stash of energy bars for him, so he wasn't only relying on coffee. When I can’t sleep, and Jihoon is up and typing away on his computer. He will gesture for me to come over and talk to him about it. Whenever I seek comfort, I go to him, and he never fails to make me feel better. Whether it be deep or meaningless conversations, he is someone I can talk to, and he feels the same way about me.
He pokes my side, trying to get me to turn over and look over at him. I decide on grumbling into the couch, and he says, “Come again?” I sigh, moving my head from between the cushions to look him in the face. “It’s past cuffing season...Where’s my cute partner that I spend the holidays with?” He shrugs and gestures for me to move over. I sigh and lean on his shoulder. We sit like that in comfortable silence until Seungcheol comes barging in. “Guess who just got himself a date?” I look over at Jihoon and groan into his shoulder. Jihoon can’t help but laugh at me, and Seungcheol asks, “What’s wrong with them?” Jihoon shakes his head and says, “They are upset about not having a date for the holidays.” I look up and catch Seungcheol’s eyes and he goes, “Sucks to suck I guess.” I look up at the ceiling, “Why do you forsake me this way.” They laugh at my agony, “Anyway, you want to hear all about her?”
I exchange a look at Jihoon, and we both roll our eyes, “Sure, why not.” I say with a shrug of my shoulder, and he happily bounds over and tells us about his date. “She sounds lovely and you sound completely enamored.” He nods, “She asked me my favorite flower the other day. She brought them in and asked me out on a date. I’m in love,...” I furrow my brows, “How long ago did you meet them?” He smiles, “A few weeks ago,...” Jihoon says, “Well, if you’re that in love with her, then we’ll have to meet her.” He nods, “Well, to be sure I’m going to wait like five dates.” I nod, and Jihoon tells him that’s reasonable. Seungcheol skips up to his room, and Jihoon asks, “What are you thinking about for dinner?” I shrug, “Eh,... why don’t we check what’s in the kitchen?”

It’s drawing closer to Christmas by the moment, and I still got no one to bring home for the holidays. But Seungcheol does, and she’s so nice and pretty. I haven’t liked a lot of his partners, but she seems like a keeper. And if Jihoon and I can both agree on that, it means Seungcheol better take care of them. Seungcheol was happy to have our approval, and now he gets the chance to show off to our parents.
I finished up buying Christmas presents for everyone, including Seungcheol’s girl. After wrapping them, I'm placing the presents under the tree into separate piles. When I hear someone clear their throat behind me, I look up to see Jihoon, and I let out a ‘hi’. He smiles, “I um,... I know you don’t have anyone to be with on Christmas, neither do I,...” he trails off and sighs, “What I’m trying to say is,... I’ve harbored feelings for you for a while. And I was wondering if you did too?” I can’t help the smile from breaking out across my face. I stand up in front of him and wrap my arms around him, “Yes, yes I do, Jihoon.” His arms, wrapping around my waist, pulling me further into him.
When we release each other from the hold, our cheeks are fiery red. Our arms are still around each other as we go in to kiss each other. When Seungcheol comes bounding down the stairs. “OH-oh,... I mean I was expecting this, but, but, not right now. Um? Should I leave?” I look at Jihoon, and we both shake our heads and laugh. We break apart, and Seungcheol stands in front of us and says, “Alright, so I’m totally cool with this. If you guys do happen to break up this is going to leave me between a rock and a hard place. Because you’re my sibling and you’re my best friend. So you guys have to stay together.” We both shrug, “I think that’s the plan.” He grins and claps us both on our shoulders and says, “Thank God. Now you won’t be the sibling without a date.” I glare over at Seungcheol.
Jihoon shakes his head and ignores Seungcheol and asks me, “Where do you want to go for our first date?” I grin, “Wherever you are, I’m happy.” Seungcheol looks between you too, “So McDonald’s?” We both glare over at him and he puts his hands up in defense, “I’ll be over at--” We nod, “Yeah, we could guess that.”
