'i don't like the way they're looking at you.' for jungyeon!

under the read more bc she got a lil lengthy . heart eyes emoji

‘  i  don't  like  the  way  they're  looking  at  you.  ’  

jealousy.  it  was  written  clear  as  day  all  over  the  woman,  even  before  such  brazen  words  were  spoken.  

jungjae  himself  experienced  enough  of  his  own  fair  share  throughout  their  relationship  to  recognize  it  when  he  saw  it.  it  seemed  to  be  quite  a  common  theme  between  the  two,  mostly  harmless,  though  that  much  was  expected  when  two  of  the  biggest  rising  stars  came  together.  they  were  highly  sought  after  and  vastly  desired  by  millions.  you  couldn’t  expect  them  to  not  want  to  hide  the  other  away  from  the  rest  of  the  world  and  keep  them  all  to  themselves  sometimes.  not  exactly  the  ideal  combination  when  it  came  to  their  occasional  possessive  roots.  

though  another  important  thing  to  note  about  jungjae  was  just  how  easily  entertained  and  pleased  he  became  by  the  jealousy  sooyeon  so  willingly  offered  him.  she  should  have  seen  it  coming,  really.  she  should  have  known  better.

torn  between  reassuring  the  girl’s  concerns  and  prying  more  out  of  her  if  he  could,  the  situation  just  seemed  far  too  intriguing  to  not  opt  for  the  latter.  “  who  ?  —  them  ?  ”  he  asked  before  sparing  a  curious  glance  to  the  person  she  was  clearly  talking  about.  the  only  other  person  standing  in  the  room  that  wasn’t  them,  not  at  all  even  attempting  to  conceal  the  lingering  gaze  she  was  offering  to  the  male.  but  he  merely  extends  the  staff  member  a  warm  grin  in  return.  just  playing  nice  he’d  blame  if  called  out  for  it.  then  his  attention  shifts  back  to  sooyeon.  “  why  not  ?  that’s  how  everyone  looks  at  me.  ”  words  were  so  teasing  that  they  practically  crawled  out  of  his  mouth  and  tugged  the  corner  of  his  lips  into  that  arrogant  smirk  he  always  seemed  to  bear.  “  what  do  you  want  me  to  do  about  it  ?  ”  he  inquires  once,  coming  forward  just  a  step.  “  do  you  want  me  to  say  something  to  her  ?  tell  her  that  i  have  a  girlfriend  ?  —  you  want  me  to  kiss  you  right  here  so  she  can  watch  ??  ”  and  now  he’s  leaning  in,  a  safe  distance,  but  close  enough  to  wrap  his  words  in  vitality.  “  i  don’t  know  how  much  she’d  enjoy  that  but  i  sure  would.  ”  a  wide  grin  stretches  across  pink  lips  and  knocks  down  the  smirk  that  once  housed  his  countenance,  and  then,  he’s  pulling  back.

“  she  works  for  me,  baby.  she’s  harmless.  probably  just  monitoring  us  because,  y’know,  we’re  us  and  alone,  so  don’t  worry  about  it.  —  but  i  will  say  ..  ”  a  sigh  falls  as  he  tilts  his  head  at  her.  “  you’re  too  sexy  when  you  get  like  this.  save  it  for  the  house,  alright  ?  ”

Danielle Babbles About Books - Summerlost by Ally Condie

Rating: 4/5 stars

Review: Why are kids’ books so often more emotionally deep and touching than books for teens or adults? I cried so many times. Shakespeare, theater love, grief, and of course friendship. I loved the characterization and growth. I loved how complicated Cedar was allowed to be. That she was allowed to have conflicting emotions and be a person. I was also really emotional over Leo and his family because I can relate to having a sort of (not even sort of, very) estranged relationship with my parents, being the odd one out. I also deeply relate to having a best friend I only got to see on rare occasions (and even less now) but we’re still best friends! I really did cry several times while reading, at work.

Favorite Quote: “My dad used to say that life was like turning the pages in a book. 'Oh, look,' he'd say, pretending to flip the pages in the air after we'd had something bad happen to us. 'Bad luck here on page ninety-seven. And on ninety-eight. But something good here on ninety-nine! All you had to do was keep reading!”

And whenever you want to do something and you're not an adult, people tell you to stop. Even when there's no real reason.

We’re in ❤️️ with the new paperback cover for Summerlost!  In Ally’s own words:

“Sometimes I am asked what Matched and Summerlost have in common–and my flippant answer is that they both have truly beautiful covers. I’ve been so lucky in that regard, and this new cover of Summerlost is also completely lovely and unique. Of course, I also believe that the characters (Cassia from Matched and Cedar from Summerlost) would have been friends had their paths ever crossed. In fact, Cedar might be a kind of little sister to Cassia had they lived in the same time and place. I’ve loved writing both of their stories, and having art like this to go along with them is nothing short of magical to me.”

I have been in the presence of a lot of greatness; and people I love, who loved me back. It might be the same thing.

i do NOT want to think abt their ship name... ashton / jisu for the ship meme!

domestic ship meme! * / accepting!

@summerlost ( ashton + jisu )

who reaches out to new neighbors: ash.. he always has the need to make good first impressions with people and will stop at nothing until he feels he has done that. including begging jisu to bake him something so he can welcome said new neighbors with it.

who remembers to buy healthy food: jisu... ash is perfectly fine with living off of canned beefaroni and poptarts for the rest of his live, someone has to step in.

who remembers to buy junk food: i feel like perhaps both at times? but mainly ash because he runs off of it.

who fixes the oven when it breaks: ash will first attempt to fix the oven because he is the one that broke it and now he feels bad. also because now how is jisu going to bake him anything with a broken oven?

who waters the plants/feeds their pet(s): jisu takes the animals and ash takes the plants. it’s a tag team effort.

who wakes up earlier: ash mainly because of classes, but even on his off days since his body has grown used to getting up at 8 am every day.

who makes the bed: that bed will remain unmade until there is a guest coming over and they are forced to make things look nice

who makes the coffee: jisu ( yep, you guessed it. ash is in the middle of a late night stream and he is once again begging her to make him his third cup of coffee. )

who burns breakfast: both of them 👍 together 👍

how do they let each other know they’re leaving the house: ash will always let you know exactly where he is going and when he is doing it. and he always asks if you’d like to tag along with him because he hates driving alone.

how do they greet each other when one of them gets home: i imagine jisu coming in and simply plopping herself down right on top of ash, regardless of whatever it is he’s currently doing. ash always goes right in for the affection.

who picks the movie for movie night: jisu since ash refuses to pick one out in case she hates it. 

their favorite kind of movie to watch: ash usually likes any type of movie? he’s hardly picky on genre and will enjoy watching anything she decides to pick out for them!!

who first suggests a pillow fort: jisu

who builds the pillow fort: ash

who tries to distract the other during the move: jisu, because even though she picked it out, she’s bored and ash is her victim.

who falls asleep first: ash. every.. single.. time.

who is big spoon/little spoon: they take turns because it’s a healthy relationship <3
