“post the names of all the files in your wip folder regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous they are. let people send you an ask with any titles most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it! and then tag as many people as you have wips.”

an angel — felix. this is just some fluffy felix who is lovesick about reader :D

can you tell me how to love? — jisung. this is just me projecting how desperate i am to experience a romantic relationship even if i actually don’t want to get into one LMAO but this involves the reader actually trying it out :p i actually work on this every time i go through it™️ help

returning to balete — seungmin. so i posted a teaser of this fic last year before but i plan to totally revise it from top to bottom :D and ofc this is a trese au btw lol

the adventure ensues — seungmin. IT’S SEUNGMIN AGAIN LOL but it’s basically an atom no ko au (i love the series so much please)... and that’s kind of a giveaway on what seungmin could be here HAHA and i kinda win here as an i.t. major bc game developer!seungmin is soooo </3

dog ear bookmarks — felix. i haven’t touched this wip in a long time but i really want to continue it when i have more time! this is an author!felix au heheheh and a classic fluff fic from me obviously :> i think there'll be elements that i haven't done before for this fic ;)

walang pinagbago — hyunjin. this was a scrapped wip... that i decided to revise soon too and hopefully finish! HAHA so just from the title, it’s obviously a fic set in the philippines... and it’s just some cute high school au with some relatable elements(? for filos ig) (and spoiler: it’s childhood friends (who eventually separated) to lovers :p idm sharing the trope lol)

hey! i'd really want to know more about your wip "can you tell me how to love?" with jisung please☺️

omg HI MOON!

so, as of now, i have written the reader's monologue HAHA and jisung just showed up in the last edit of my wip 😭 i hope you don't mind me spoiling a part of the reader's rant that gave me the most pain (this is def quite long but i'm okay with spoiling a lot for u <3)

The question is, will the day of someone confessing their love for you even come? You often find this as a rhetorical question. Assuming no has always been the answer. 

It wasn’t fair; it didn’t make you feel you belong somewhere; it gave you much confirmation that you’ll live alone. It was a reality you often denied. You know you deserve someone who’ll give you their whole soul, like your friends to their significant others. You deserve a touching moment of a tear-jerking, heart-warming, and cheesy confession in public. You deserve someone always looking at you with glittering eyes. You deserve an intimate kiss, refreshing hugs, words of affirmation, and much more from someone who devotes you.

Hell, it makes you cry thinking about these. So much for trying to be independent and numb. Are you that undesirable? That unwanted?

No wonder why you went through high school and were often seen as a great friend—unfortunately, it always stopped until there. You never heard your classmates spreading rumors about a certain classmate having a crush on you. Your friends never shook your shoulders and squealed upon the discovery of someone liking you more than a regular classmate or friend. There was never a time when you were the center of a topic like crushes and relationships. You were the one gossiping about a classmate liking another classmate, and you have done nothing else but that.

Your life comprised watching rom-coms, reading romance books, and obsessing over celebrity couples. Love songs, especially the ones that make you squeal, have always been on your playlist. How come you came to a point where your life didn’t reflect your interests? Just because?

Your wishes are too similar to the air hockey game you always play in the arcade. You can never predict if you will score the disc on the side where you’ll finally feel love and be loved or the side where you can be that rich relative of your friends’ children and splurge on books. It was a race, often making you confused about what your life was for.

HEY BAE i was alr tagged with the wip snippet thing so I'll just do my part in asking u for a snippet of walang pinagbago cuz 👀👀👀 walang pinagbago!! (Just like our g0v3rnm3mt fr) HAHAHAAHAHAH

HELP SAGEIASFDA (u r so real tho)

sooo what's hard abt giving a snippet is deciding whether i should give one from the first version or the second version... because riel is a perfectionist

...and i literally am planning to revise it again 🥹 oh well, here are free ~300 words from the second version below the cut!

Even if your own life right now is such a dream already, your childhood was another one. “I guess we never told people about it. Being associated with each other sounds unreal.”

“For real though. I always thought Hwang was never that type to be your friend,” Seungmin glances at you. Seungmin knows you very well too. With your open and approachable traits, some things about yourself are open a bit too much sometimes. “None of your friends are that popular. Tzuyu may be one, but she’s quite a private person.”

“So are you telling me we are a bunch of mediocre people?” you giggle, receiving a light push from the boy beside you.

Talking with a full mouth, Seungmin objects, “I’m not saying we’re mediocre! I’m pertaining to the statuses of every one of us in school.”

“Do you see that the most popular students are friends?” Seungmin asks, handing you a flimsy piece of tissue paper, “While we, neither outcasts nor famous, are well-acquainted with each other?”

You hum as you wipe your mouth. Truth be told, you are on good terms with every single student in your class. But in the end, you’re selective about whom to really trust with all of your heart.

“I’m telling you, a lot of our schoolmates would definitely be behind Hyunjin to ask him out for prom. Nobody would do that to us.”

You point your stick to him as a sign of affirming, “And that is the benefit of being neither outcasts nor famous.”

Wait a minute. The last thing Seungmin said replayed in your head. “Stop, about that...”

You slowly turn your head to Seungmin to continue, expecting a surprised reaction from him, “He rejected every single person who asked him out.”

Seungmin widens his eyes and covers his mouth as his jaw drops.
