Examples


Minghao + Ocean Vuong
The most beautiful part of your body
is where it's headed. & remember,
loneliness is still time spent
with the world.

Ocean Vuong - night sky with exit wounds

Hoshi/Anyone; "Beauty is terror"
Thinking about these two quotes together and the idea of on/off-stage personas:

"Beauty is terror. Whatever we call beautiful we tremble before it. And what could be more terrifying or beautiful, to the Greeks to to our own, than to lose control completely?" - Donna Tartt, the Secret Histories

"I am calm in everyday life but when I put on my in-ear device and step on stage, I can feel the tension and hear the cheers getting louder as the music gets louder. When the staff tells me it's time to step on stage, I feel something boil inside me. I feel it steaming inside and I think I have to give a burst of something, spill what is inside me." - Hoshi in Hit the Road Ep. 04


Any ship; "It's been so many years"
Hello, hello there, is this Martha?
This is old Tom Frost
And I am calling long distance
Don't worry 'bout the cost.
'Cause it's been forty years or more
Now Martha please recall
Meet me out for coffee
Where we'll talk about it all.

Tom Watts - Martha

Soonyoung's bed is still on the floor. It makes Wonwoo's skin itch even though her bed is also a disaster. It's not on the floor though.

Wonwoo doesn't like sitting in Soonyoung's bed because she always makes a joke about it, about who was there last, about how Wonwoo is lucky she washed the sheets. And Wonwoo knows she's kidding, knows that she hasn't had a guy over in weeks, because she always tells her. Tells her everything.

Wonwoo knows enough about Soonyoung's life to fill books, all in brief mentions, downplayed.

"Oh, I was dating him when he got hit by that car," Soonyoung says.

"Yeah, we fucked when we worked together back in 2016," Soonyoung says.

"He's got a huge dick. But like, no balls," Soonyoung giggles.


So Wonwoo knows thing about her now. She knows how often Soonyoung is approached, how often Soonyoung is embroiled in some new shit. She knows how it wears Soonyoung down after a while, the constant attention and expectations. The reputation Soonyoung has, of being someone who knows everyone, who has slept with everyone, who will sleep with you.

Wonwoo, selfishly, wants to be different more than she wants to sleep with Soonyoung. Not to say she doesn't; her hands shake with it.

But if she does, what's so different about her? What makes their relationship special? What makes Wonwoo more than a story Soonyoung can tell?

So Wonwoo sits on Soonyoung's bed, half on the floor, her long legs tangled in Soonyoung's weighted blanket, and watches Soonyoung get changed.

"Wonwoo?" Soonyoung says, pulling her out of her thoughts. "Can you help me put on my tape? On my shoulder?"

Wonwoo tilts her head. Soonyoung lets out a bashful sound and says, "I dislocated it a few weeks ago. Rock climbing with Jisoo."

"You don't rock climb," Wonwoo says, before she can stop it.

Soonyoung smiles and says, "Right? But Jisoo offered to teach me. Wonwoo, he really taught me."

Wonwoo wrinkles her nose. "I can help, yeah. Just tell me what to do."

"Thank you," Soonyoung sings. "Love you, Wonwoo."

Soonyoung pulls off her shirt, exposing her pale chest and the round shape of her breasts. Wonwoo tries not to look, but she does. She can't help it. Soonyoung's nipples harden into points in the cold air of the room and Wonwoo stares, stares until it's obvious. Soonyoung holds out the KT tape to her, looking entirely unaffected. That makes it worse.

Wonwoo shuffles around on her knees until she's right behind Soonyoung, her hair trailing down the center of her shoulder blades. Wonwoo holds her breath as she takes a piece of tape and peels off the paper on the back.

"Just--just start under my shoulder blade and pull it up," Soonyoung says, and she moves her hair to her other shoulder. Wonwoo can still see her tits. She tries not to, her hand shaking a little as one of her blunt fingernails catches on the edge of the tape, tangling it a little.

She sticks the tape to Soonyoung's smooth skin, right over the ridge of her shoulder blade, like she asked. She doesn't even want to breathe, to break the moment.

"Pull up," Soonyoung says quietly. There's no other noise in the whole apartment, Minghao gone doing something else. It's just them.

Wonwoo pulls the tape up, wrinkling Soonyoung's skin.

"Harder," Soonyoung says.

Wonwoo bites her lip and pulls the tape up harder.

"Now, press up and over, to my chest," Soonyoung directs, seemingly oblivious to the way Wonwoo's breath is coming out uneven and shallow.

Wonwoo does what she's told, lifting the tape over Soonyoung's shoulder and pressing one cold hand to Soonyoung's chest, sticking the tape a few inches above the swell of Soonyoung's small breast. Soonyoung has her hands curled in her lap, picking her fingers.

"Okay, now do one more, but more angled, like from my armpit to my collarbone," Soonyoung says.

Wonwoo doesn't know if she can keep it together for another piece of tape, her pussy already throbbing. God, this is really fucked up. She's supposed to be helping her.

Does Soonyoung know what she does to her?

Wonwoo peels the other tape and sticks it to the patch of skin near Soonyoung's armpit, and then pulls across until it sticks to her collarbone. Soonyoung isn't talking anymore, just breathing.

"Okay, last one," Soonyoung breathes out. "I'll face you, and pull it from my chest to my back."

Before Wonwoo can say anything (not that she knows what to say), Soonyoung turns and faces Wonwoo, close enough that the side of her tit brushes against Wonwoo's outstretched hand.

"Okay," Wonwoo breathes, trying to look anywhere else, trying to keep her eyes open.

She takes the tape with shaking fingers and peels the paper.

She drops the paper.

Soonyoung giggles and bends down to grab it, showing off the smooth curve of her waist on the way down. Wonwoo feels lightheaded. This has to be a ploy, or something? Wonwoo can't just be... this can't just be a normal thing for girls to do. Maybe if it was, it wouldn't be so quiet.

Soonyoung hands her the tape and then flicks her hair off her chest, kneeling with her back straight and her chest high and Wonwoo feels like there's got to be some way out of this, back into the safe, warm water of their friendship.

She presses the end of the tape right below Soonyoung's collarbone and expects her to turn back around to affix it to the back, but Soonyoung stays still and smiles at Wonwoo.

Wonwoo gives her a shaky smile and shuffles closer, putting an arm around her to get enough of a vantage point to see down her back. She tries very hard not to smell the junction of Soonyoung's neck. She fails. Soonyoung smells clean and fresh and a little bit sweet and Wonwoo wants to eat her.

She pulls on the tape, hard, and Soonyoung's breast grazes her arm. "Ah, sorry," Wonwoo breathes out, pressing the tape onto Soonyoung's back and wrenching herself out of her orbit. "Good?"

Soonyoung's chest is sort of red and splotchy. Wonwoo thinks maybe she pulled too hard.

"Good," Soonyoung says quietly.

***

The day Wonwoo moves in with Mingyu for real is the day he breaks up with Seungcheol. Breaks up with is a disproportionately strong phrase for the weak thing they’ve been carrying along with them for months now, but it is still a breakup, because they were together, thought of themselves as supposed to be together, and now they are not.

Seungcheol doesn’t make it easy. In some sense, Wonwoo is glad, because if he’d thought about it before—not that he’d thought about it before, but if he had—he would rather this, instead of something easier. Even though this—the breakup, the aftermath, the in-between part where they know where they’re headed but no one has officially done anything yet—is only a stepping stone, and they both know it. Because Wonwoo will move in with Mingyu, and he will see Seungcheol less, and then they will each have their own space.

Other groups have dorms that are less crowded. Other idols live in penthouses.

Wonwoo takes it all—the consequences, Mingyu, his gaming equipment out of Seungcheol’s room—but he’s not able to let go. He can’t let go, not when they’re in the same group together, the same unit. He knew it was a bad idea to do anything official from the start, but he’d seen the way Seungcheol and Jeonghan danced around each other, molded together and splintered apart, and he’d known what he hadn’t wanted, so. Here they are. A clean break, except.

Except, “You couldn’t have told me this in person?” Seungcheol says.

Except, “You’re always expecting me to be something I’m not,” Wonwoo says.

Except, “How can I know when you don’t talk to me anymore,” from both of them, and they’re on the same page; they always have been. The same page with no words written on it. The same words but no meaning. Now they’re opposite pages bound together in the same book.

“Are you going to fuck Mingyu tonight?” Seungcheol asks as he helps Wonwoo move his stuff, because he’s always been kind to Wonwoo and he’s always been quick to agitate, and that’s never going to change no matter what Wonwoo says to him.

Wonwoo glares, though, because that was uncalled for. “What do you think?”

Again. “How can I know if you never tell me anything anymore?”

Again, “What do you mean I never tell you anything when you’re right there talking about the group all the time and tell me nothing about yourself?”

Again, “I tell you what I’m thinking; I can’t help it if I think about everyone else so often. What do you want me to do? Change?”

And, “You’re supposed to change for someone you love,” Wonwoo says, and then they both stop, because they’ve arrived at the point where the next step is supposed to happen, where Seungcheol is supposed to say something like But I don’t love you and Wonwoo is supposed to storm off, or where Seungcheol doesn’t say anything, and Wonwoo is supposed to push him until he moves.

They stare at each other over the box containing Wonwoo’s PC. Wonwoo wants to look away. He knows he should keep looking, should put some expression on his face that means he’s longing, or he’s sorry, but he doesn’t know what to do. He doesn’t know how to feel about this—a breakup that’s not a breakup, a love that was tinted wrong for a few months and has to return to its original hue, like a mislabeling of a product.

Seungcheol has bags under his eyes. Wonwoo is sure he looks just as tired. Mingyu’s stuff is already all moved in. He’s just waiting for Wonwoo. Everyone is just waiting for Wonwoo, who is waiting for Seungcheol.

Seungcheol opens his mouth.

Wonwoo beats him to it. “It’s okay,” he says. “Maybe it’s better this way. At least now we won’t get caught.”

Seungcheol’s expression shutters, and Wonwoo thinks, I did that. The thought leaves an acrid taste in his mouth. He flips over the box flaps aggressively, grabs the tape by his foot and tapes it aggressively, too. Fine. It’s fine. He can handle it. Bandage his emotions and continue on as normal. He’s had scandals before; he’s had shit to deal with. He’s been the bad guy.

Seungcheol doesn’t know what that’s like, not really. He thinks he’s the bad guy for leaving during the Ode to You tour. He’s too good. He doesn’t know shit.

Wonwoo will unpack his PC and with it his emotions, and he’ll barricade himself in his new apartment and ignore Mingyu’s earnest pleas to let him make him soup or whatever, and he’ll take himself apart. And then he will be fine. And Seungcheol will be fine, because he won’t have to deal with Wonwoo dragging him along.

We’re not together anymore, he imagines Seungcheol saying, and finds that he wants there to be more, something more substantive, greedy even in this. He tapes up the box and pushes it out of the room. “We’re officially over,” he says, and breaks up with Seungcheol. He broke up with me, Seungcheol can say, and at least Wonwoo’s name will be in his mouth.

this was sooo fun to read!! i love how childish their bickering is but how serious they are about it until they aren't. The year of Mingyu - now renamed to the month of Mingyu - ends on January 29, which is the same length as some Februaries, so it still counts as a full month. is so perfect. thank you for sharing :D

ki *______* this is such a fun triangle and i love the nuances you built into it. i think my favorite thing out of many favorite things is just minghao watching wwjn. he's so MEAN to ww at first and i love it. i love wonwoo who's continuously shocked that someone finds him interesting, minghao who's probably resentful that jun is taking interest in someone else. Wonwoo was acutely aware of Minghao a few feet away, standing there and pretending he wasn’t listening. and as local girl who's obsessed with how others perceive her and her relationships this was soooo good and perfect. and i love how you can see the minghao melissa jun nick wonwoo frances it's just caught so well the complexity of those relationships and still, the want in them all.

He reminded Wonwoo of one of the conventions of playwriting. It’s more interesting to watch someone try not to fall apart than to watch them fall apart. i also think how you put in things like this is so cool, it really feels like you have such a good understanding of story conventions and writing techniques and it adds a meta element that almost highlights why exactly your writing is so good LOL. thank you for the treat <3

[cracks knuckles] here I come...

Hwa!!! when I couldn't decide between wonhan/jeongcheol for the fill and simply end up including them both in a way, I never expected it would lead to this. You've taken the details I've merely paid short visits to and spun a vivid story around them and I'm *____*

I had a vague idea of where Jeonghan stood in the grand scheme of things, but until you wrote him, all the pieces hadn't come together yet. Then they did! Everything became so clear--Jeonghan couldn't be anyone else other than this boy who wanted a simple life, had he been born without the weight of a crown upon his head.

I loved the way you build him up. But there was also Jeonghan, a boy who dreamt of slow summer afternoons, lying down by the river, poetry being whispered into his hair. Knowing how the story ended just lodged the knife deeper in between my ribs, because yeah, they could have had that... In a different lifetime, Jeonghan would spend summers by the river, Wonwoo whispering poetry into his hair. (insert painful pterodactyl screech).

The parallels with the original are as wonderful as they are painful, but this one especially got me good: He could do this, with Wonwoo's hand in his, Jeonghan can rule. He could stop doing this alone.

There was a question I received upon posting about what Wonwoo's colour would be in Jeonghan's eyes. Was so giddy that you answered that, as I also wanted to know (lol)

The intricacies of the political conflict in this and also the insinuation that, Wonwoo had once in a while, given suggestions to Seungcheol when he read through letters meant for Jeonghan... perfect. I think it was the biggest ego boost to have seen this email dropped into my inbox. I squealed and screamed and people on my private account could probably attest to how unhinged I was. Thank you for remixing this!! I'll be thinking about them with every surviving brain cell of mine.

hwa thank you so much!! i really feel like you got so much of what i wanted to portray (jun in fact joking to hide that he's sincere, mostly. but the point is that you're never quite sure) and more that i didn't even consciously know, like how minghao is less controlled around jun because they're so comfortable with each other and because there's truly not enough patience in one body to deal with jun LOL. i'm so glad you liked it, and so thankful that you prompted such a beautiful and inspiring quote <3
