it's a game. always a game—everything's a game if you want it to be. it's what lara raj has been telling herself since that incident with her ex that taught her a valuable lesson of playing someone before they turned the game on you. at the elite private college, dream academy, where lara is one of the most popular and wealthy students and she's also known to have a reputation for using people and discarding them after lara let them believe she wanted only them for her own amusement— not many know this, but other times it's because of whatever bet she has with her friends. but unfortunately for lara and her friends, but fortunately for the students, it has gotten boring playing the same game with the same people in different fonts and wants something challenging for once. enter sage. sage is one of the newer transfered students along with her older sister. lara has heard about them in passing due to yoonchae and sage already having a few friends that also attend the school. and to make matters better lara finds out sage is the daughter of both the newest dean and a professor at the school. this school year is going to be full of surprises.
angels who done nothing wrong
LARA RAJ • lararajj • laranothere
second year. music major. the girl in everyone's mind and conversations— and lara's hasn't cared if they were good or bad because of no one being brave enough to say it where anyone that knows her could hear or to her face. one of the school's legacy students, years after her older sister graduated, lara's impact on the school was felt only a few weeks after her arrival to the school during her first year, where she has since made dream academy her own playground and student for something to mess with when bored— or protect herself from. not many people outside of her friends and shiloh know the reason why lara now acts the way she does, but what she does know is she's not letting it happen to her again. but now that she's in her second year, lara has now gotten bored of messing around, or sleeping with, in her words, 'different people in the same boring fonts, and nothing shocks these idiots anymore' —until she sees sage boudreaux in the dean's office with manon and immediately sees an opportunity for her best game yet but also has some reservations because sage is the younger sister of the only person who helped and took care of her after the most awful night of her life.
MANON BANNERMAN • meretmanon • spoonsburner
final year. music major. wherever there's trouble, manon's usually not far behind, watching it all go down, and no one can actually tell if she's the cause or the reason behind it or if she's just there to see what'll happen next. manon is also the only one in the dream academy's history who sought after her to attend their school, and she's had her fair share of the manipulative games and fun lara and some of their friends play and hasn't done her own in a long time for the same reasons lara has now become bored of— the other is because she's been locked into a back and forth with friend— and secret obsession— sophia laforteza and believed it was going to continue that way. she had seen shiloh once or twice from afar outside of school and thought nothing of her, but then she finally got a chance to see her up close and in person one day outside dani's dance class with sophia, where she witnessed sophia immediately tense up and learned from dani, after much pestering, that several have tried to ask shiloh out, but she either rejects them or outright says she's uninterested. seeing how quickly sophia tenses whenever shiloh's name brought up or when seen, manon becomes intrigued enough for an idea for a bet of her own.
SOPHIA LAFORTEZA • sophialaf_ • notfifi
final year. theater major. one of the school's top students. the golden girl of dream academy and also its pride and joy. there have been plenty of positive things to be said about sophia laforteza due to her reputation as one of the warmest, most positive, and best influences on all students, new and old. when it comes to sophia, her good girl reputation is well earned and deserved; only a few know of her more ruthless and spiteful side. sophia doesn't go to great lengths to cover it up either or stop people from knowing because she knows not many will believe it or could ever see her like that. sophia and manon have had their own personal back-and-forth game since the moment manon came to the school because of their shared mutual obsession with each other. she has also known shiloh for years, and shiloh's the only person in sophia's academic school career who has effectively beaten and surpassed her— she doesn't know if she wants to destroy her, put shiloh in her place, or if she wants her. so imagine sophia's surprise when she sees her with daniela outside of her friends' dance class and learns that the girl has transferred to dream academy and immediately agrees to a bet with manon about shiloh.
DANIELA AVANZINI •_danielaavan • danibabi
third year. dance major. daniela and yoonchae, and sometimes megan, are probably the only 'normal' ones in the friend group and don't see the point of playing with people's social lives like it's a game. while yoonchae outright refuses to do or even support what lara, manon, sophia, and sometimes megan do, daniela willingly used to be a part of it, but since she personally got to witness the aftermath of someone's fall, she hasn't participated in any bets or even picked out the next person to see who could handle it. daniela has known shiloh for years since they are part of the same dance studio and considers the girl a close friend and has seen firsthand the pressure she's under. when she learned from shiloh and yoonchae that she'll be transferring, dani knew she had to keep the girl far away from her other friends after realizing manon's interest and the subtle way sophia tenses up whenever shiloh's mentioned and has definitely clocked lara as a new target but doesn't know it's her friend's baby sister.
MEGAN SKIENDIEL • meganskiendiel • meimei
second year. dance major. honestly, megan's more amused by it all in a way that basically boils down to, 'it's only funny and amusing because it's not happening to me.' as far as megan's concerned, it's all harmless, and nobody has been seriously hurt over it, and none of the people she genuinely knows and cares for have been targeted, so why would megan try to interrupt it? megan knows that sometimes things can go too far, and whenever that happens, she actually does voice out her concern about it and tells lara or sophia when she has her moments that they're doing too much and pulls back from it. megan and tamara have had an intense rivalry since they came to dream academy, and megan absolutely loves provoking the other girl just to get a reaction from her— and she may or may not harbor a small crush on tamara but is afraid to admit it. it was actually megan who tried to get lara to leave the situation with eunchae alone since the girl had absolutely no idea what was happening and immediately went to yoonchae about it,
JEUNG YOONCHAE • y00nchae_ • yoonchips
first year. music major. either quietly observing-- or judging-- yoonchae can't but notice how everything or everyone is when no one's paying attention due to people misjudging her introverted nature as something to be dismissed or somehow seeing her as an easy target before learning very quickly just how lethal her words can be. yoonchae doesn't have to do any kind of the games everyone in the school somehow plays or do anything really to let other students know she's simply not one to mess with, and if you do attempt to try it with her and yoonchae doesn't come back with a response, it's mostly because she doesn't see you as worthy enough for a comeback— if sophia or lara, however, hears about it, then consider your social reputation and academic career to come to an end. yoonchae has known sage and shiloh for a few years since their parents know and live in the same neighborhood as one another and has subtly warned lara to leave sage alone when noticing the way lara has started looking at the other girl whenever she appears. has intervened several times whenever she hears of lara's plans and even stopped talking to lara the rest of the summer after the incident with eunchae.

we have a trusted ADULT-adult
SAGE BOUDREAUX ● _sageadvice ● skywalkinover
theater major. second-year student. considered the golden child by her family and friends, the need to be perfect and presentable doesn't fall on her shoulders, but sage was still one of the top students in her school. easy to get along with, sage is a warm, kind-hearted person and just an all-around friendly girl— but can be a bit naive, especially when it comes to relationships and seeing someone's true intentions, and sometimes it has caused her older sister to step in, though sage doesn't know shiloh was the reason those people backed off fully from her. because of her friends and her knowing that yoonchae's attending the private college, sage was actually very excited to attend the same school as them. she, however, worries— constantly worries about her, sage friends say— about shiloh, whom until recently sage had a somewhat strained and distant relationship with because of their parents. sage being naive is a sore spot for her when brought up because she genuinely believes that not everyone has nefarious motives and believes the best in people. has only been attending dream academy for a few weeks and is loving it so far and continues to look forward to getting to know people. unfortunately, she's managed to capture the right kind of attention from the wrong person.
SHILOH BOUDREAUX ● shilohanise ● lohandbehold
final year. major in dance with a minor in music. the ADULT adult and the oldest boudreaux child, so her parents always demand perfection, and shiloh gives it to them— the perfect, obedient eldest daughter who makes her parents proud with high academic scores, being on the dean's list, getting solos, and the first violin chair. whatever that needs to be done— shiloh does it. and the pressure has started to take a toll on her. shiloh has no choice and only does any of it because her parents will turn their high standards and expectations onto sage, and she will not let it happen and would rather her sister continue to thrive without restrictions. knows lara because lara and her ex gf used to frequent her former college before the incident where shiloh was the only one to help and took care of lara that night. shiloh and sophia have known each other for years, as they attended private high school together, and she's the only person who has actually bested her but keeps a wide berth from both her and manon, with whom she has had several run-ins in and outside of school since the girl first saw her with daniela outside of dance class. has known daniela since they were younger because they have attended the same dance studio.
LAYA DELEON HAYES ● layadeleon ● layaonme
second year. theater major. laya has been best friends with tamara and sage since they attended the same daycare together, and when their parents saw how inseparable the three little girls were, they didn't want to separate them from each other. laya has always been the quiet, observant one between her two extroverted friends and the friend group in general, so she sees everything without meaning to, and because of her being quiet, no one really notices when she's around, so she knows a lot more than everyone thinks. since she's an only child, laya views sage and shiloh as her sisters and even goes to shiloh for advice dealing with homework and has listened to complaints over the years from sage about how cold her older sister is, but laya always told her that there's probably more to it. was almost caught in one of lara and her friends' games but outmaneuvered them, which impressed lara immensely, and has had little to no trouble with any of the popular rich kid crowd or anyone lara hangs out with since.
TAMARA SMART ● tamarasmart ● watertribe
second year. theater major. overprotective of her friends and loud whenever she's excited or just in general. tamara is widely known for being the best at whatever she chooses to do— whether it's on the softball field or on the stage in theater class, no matter what, she will give 1000% because that's just how she is. has crossed paths with lara and her friend group in and out of school but mainly has butted heads— or constantly antagonized —with megan since the moment they stepped foot into dream academy and on the team, but even then tamara pays them no mind. due to her practically being friends and friendly with everyone, tamara hears lots of things— like mumblings and whispers about lara having her eye on one of the new transfers, and she has since kept a closer eye on sage, telling her friend to just be careful around certain people but hasn't outright said lara's name...yet, but she hasn't said anything to their friends because she hopes it's nothing and is hesitant to tell shiloh about any of it as well because she knows shiloh would get involved to protect her sister and them if needed.
SHIN YUNA ● shinyuna ● yunaisangry
third year. dance major. yuna turns head wherever she goes and very well knows she does and has consistently used it to her advantage to get herself and/or her friends out of any situations— or into them should things call for it— that required a certain type and level of charisma—and a really good pouting face— that yuna had unlocked when she was just a child, bad for her family because she tries to get herself out of trouble using it, but good for her. yuna's considered one of the legacy students that attend dream academy due to every member of her family, including her older sister shin ryujin, who's attending the school for her final year. so it's no surprise to anyone that she's never been on the receiving end of any games or people trying to take advantage of her or whatever it is the other rich kids do when they're too bored because of her sister being shin ryujin— so yuna is essentially untouchable, and by extension, her friends are as well once they know she's with them. however, some have tried to test things and have failed catastrophically.
HONG EUNCHAE ● eunchae_ ● notchae
first year. dance major. eunchae's the youngest of the group and basically uses the 'im baby' card every chance she gets with a pout that can— and has— beats yuna's. has a bit of a dry sense of humor and is known for constantly humbling people without realizing it— eunchae knows very well when she does it. yoonchae and her family had been friends long before the girls were born and only wanted her to attend dream academy instead of any other college. during the summer before school, eunchae almost became collateral damage in one of the student's schemes until yoonchae intervened with help from tamara and has since stuck mostly beside tamara and their friend group since. eunchae has no idea that it was lara who was behind it all because she got a 'little upset' at being rejected because the person was more interested in talking to eunchae.

when shiloh unexpectedly quit the up-and-coming rock band katseye after they exploded on the scene with a critically acclaimed first album that was followed by a highly successful world tour, it left both fans and critics shocked as to why she would leave at the height of the band's success and popularity. unbeknownst to all, shiloh's contract wasn't renewed after being voted out and replaced by daniela's best friend, manon bannerman, by her band members. for the past two years shiloh has been dark on her public socials until she out of nowhere drops a teaser of her new single along with rumors of her releasing a solo album soon —right around the same time her former band will be dropping their third album. things are going to get interesting, especially when she has to start being around her ex, sophia, and the girl she left her for and was replaced in the band with, manon. fun, huh?
a/n: the second written part will be out sometime later today! sorry for the shortness and the abrupt ending, but im sorry for the wait my brain is just not working with me because of real life, work and school so i apologize for any decline in quality or if this is all boring to you guys now dnsnsm
i know that ryujin and yoonchae had their reasons for asking for space but now shiloh’s shutting everyone out and them scratching their heads at her not replying to them is so frustrating…..ryujin’s reason was valid i guess but idk yoonchae’s anger at being kept in the dark was kindaalittlesorta misplaced imo but i can’t really fault the one person in the band that was on shiloh’s side at the time and neither can i fault shiloh for not telling her because she saw that as sparing her from the pain
….only for missy to inflict that pain anyway! man i was waiting for the moment the band finds out the extent of the damage they had contributed to and what a brutal way to do it. missy evil in every universe iktr! i was wondering why you had her be at the hospital in the aftermath of shiloh’s attempt and settling hospital bills etc and that was a really good set-up for this moment bc yeah ofc bun lady had other motives
sophia and shiloh both shutting out the people who love them when their feelings are too much to handle…they’re so meant to be! 🥰 lol i lived for shiloh’s outburst at sophia, i’m glad she got to say her piece even if she ended up regretting it. sophia needed to hear it from her
hope you’re doing well and fantastic updates, looking forward to more!
-w&a anon
p.s i’m so seated for cruel intentions. the tumblr employees are scared and asking me to leave because you haven’t even posted the first chapter yet but i’m simply too seated.
it really is. I've had the same done to me and that shit is lowkey so frustrating because in shiloh's mind with ryujin she's giving her the space she asked for and yoonchae was in the heat of the moment with anger, and she's realized now her anger is misdirected so now it's towards missy but because of her taking the day to calm down, she formed thoughts coherently because their relationship would have gone a little bit sideways because of the kneejerk reaction of being angry coming from yoonchae towards shiloh.
yeah missy knew exactly what she was doing when she took care of everything because that woman always have something up both her funk ass bun and her sleeves and she threw it out when both shiloh and the girls were making it know what they wanted and it was a clear power move and also reminded shiloh that 'ay i still have control'.
girlies that shut down together are meant to be together 🥰🥰shiloh feels some remorse because she lashed out in the heat of the moment but she does not regret saying it at all to sophia and sophia needed to hear that from shiloh and only shiloh because it never landed when yoonchae, manon or even when megan had lashed out at her because it had to be said from shiloh and now it's all crashing down on her.
hope you're doing great as well! work and real life can be hell and i hope you're taking care!!
i have so much planned for cruel intentions with lara/sage...and sophia/shiloh/manon--- it's going to be one wild ride.

WHY HER, NOT ME? - SHILOH'S OFFICIALLY BACK BITCHES!!!

a year. it has only been a year since karina lost her best friend turn fiance oh jae-in. arranged to be married since they were children, the two would develop genuine feelings for each other and do things their own way much to the annoyance of their grandparents. everything was planned perfectly— but it was ripped away by the sudden death of jae-in. karina has been living on autopilot ever since and has yet to properly grieve and accept that she will never again love anyone in the manner she loved him until she learns that the arrangement between their families will continue. but with someone else— that someone being devon jackson, jae-in's half sister, his hidden half sister. a half sister that his mother gave up to stay in america with the biological father and his family far away from chaebol society and her family. but devon herself has her own demons to deal with, and now she's learned about her mother and the maternal side of the family, along with having another younger sister and a now deceased older brother, and has now gained the responsibility of continuing his engagement to his late fiancee. devon has no idea about chaebol society or how to navigate it, nor does she know how to deal with the fact that her soon-to-be wife looks at her as if she shouldn't exist. but feelings and love are very complicated— they can also sneak up on you when you least expect them.
GUARDIANS OF THE LONE BRAIN CELL
DEVON 'DEVIE' JACKSON • jackdaniels_ • lesbihonestnow
devon grew up believing she didn't have a mother because, according to her father, she's the reason why her mother's no longer with them anymore because of her dying in childbirth and was raised primarily with her grandparents and her aunt. considered a soccer prodigy from a young age, and it was the only reason why her father became more involved in her life but would end up suffering a career-ending injury during a college championship game and switch her major to focus on cinematography and getting a master's in photography because she just wanted to be busy. spends most of her time helping her sister manon with filming her vlogs, helping her aunt with her gallery/art studio, being kidnapped periodically by ayo to come on her film sets, and being the only person her cousin trusts in taking photos of him. has a very strained relationship with her father and only deals with him because of manon and her grandparents and has a service dog named pancake, pan, for short thanks to some crying convincing by manon. works in the movie industry but uses her nickname and manon's last name.
AYO EDEBIRI • ayoedebiri • ayoohoo
lives to get on devon's nerves...out of love! director, writer, and actress— ayo goes to her friend first with her short films or just drags devon with her because of her not wanting to be on set alone. outside of her devon's cousin and jennie, she has known devon the longest, even before they went to the same school together due to their grandparents being friends, and has been friends through everything— including the time period where devon's father didn't want her to have outside distractions and wanted her to concentrate only on soccer. ayo and kelvin both sneakily mention devon being a cinematographer, and devon has worked on several film/tv projects that has ayo in them. has tried, and failed, to get her best friend back into dating after their last relationship, but whenever she brings it up devon always throwing something at her. considers herself the baby daddy of devon's service dog, pan.
KELVIN HARRIS JR • kevharrjr • kevsnothere
devon and manon's cousin. everyone swears he's the normal one in the group when he's very much not. views devon more as his little sister than a cousin due to them practically being raised together when he and his mother lived with their grandparents when they were raising devon. an established actor who can and will mention that devon is a cinematographer, so he. kelvin at one point did have a close relationship with devon's father, but after seeing how he treated devon and how hard he pushed her when she played soccer, it soured the relationship, and now he doesn't care about him at all after devon suffered her injury. actually met karina and devon's late brother when he went to korea for filming. considers devon's service dog as the group's baby and mascot.
JENNIE KIM • rubyjane • jenkneesnuts
kpop artist and actress, jennie and devon's grandparents have lived next door to each other for decades and were known for coming directly over to see baby devon after coming home from school. that's still hasn't changed, as whenever jennie came to visit her grandmother as she got older, she would go directly over to see devon. jennie knows bits and pieces of what happened with devon's mother from listening to her and devon's grandmother's conversation, but because of not hearing everything, she still believes that the woman is dead. she's very protective of devon, overprotective if you ask ayo and yunjin, and spoils devon and shows no remorse about it when someone points it out.
MINNIE • min_nicha • minnieme
model, singer, and songwriter. minnie met devon after she and her family moved from thailand and she started attending the same school, and they started hanging out more once devon's father lifted his restrictions. considered to be devon's muse by everyone but devon herself because she just likes taking pictures of minnie or in devon's words, 'it's not my fault minnie is so photogenic.' she and devon did date throughout high school and some in college but mutually decided to break it off once minnie started taking her career in singing more seriously and decided to remain friends. minnie's the only one devon has confided in about her relationship with her father and how the pressure of being in soccer really affected her. is the actual baby daddy of devon's service dog, pan.
HUH YUNJIN • jenaissante • thisnotjin
singer, songwriter, and devon's main headache (affectionately). yunjin takes being the youngest girl in the friend group very seriously and is a walking, talking chaos vortex with a very beautiful voice, and if you ask devon or anyone how she became part of the friend group, none of them have any idea but say the same thing about how she just appeared out of nowhere and has been part of the friend group ever since. yunjin's family is also wealthy, so she has met and knows karina and her friends and has talked about them in passing to her friends and has even said to devon's going to end up taking pictures of karina up close and personal one day. she and miles are the only ones who will use knowing devon to their advantage because they are more comfortable with her when it comes to taking pictures or being photographed for magazines and different photoshoots because they know her— and yunjin knows devon won't say no to her.
MILES CATON • mil3s_ • milesishere
actor and singer. miles is the youngest of the group and is the one everyone actually dotes on and spoils; he claims to hate it but will look at everyone sideways if they treat him differently for more than two seconds. between him and yunjin is the calmer one, but when the two of them are alone, there's absolutely no telling what dumbness the two of them will get into, and it happened— and still happens— when they were in school. it got to the point where they were almost separated in music class because they kept talking in class, but the teacher saw that they were more productive when making music and musical activities. a very gifted musician but was convinced by ayo and devon to try out for an audition for a film— the film went on to become an award-winning hit with people pointing out his performance, and it boosted both his career in music and in acting. has managed to convince his management and team to let devon be the one who photographs him during most of his photoshoots and goes to her when he needs advice on how to take better pictures for his social medias.

it's a game. always a game—everything's a game if you want it to be. it's what lara raj has been telling herself since that incident with her ex that taught her a valuable lesson of playing someone before they turned the game on you. at the elite private college, dream academy, where lara is one of the most popular and wealthy students and she's also known to have a reputation for using people and discarding them after lara let them believe she wanted only them for her own amusement— not many know this, but other times it's because of whatever bet she has with her friends. but unfortunately for lara and her friends, but fortunately for the students, it has gotten boring playing the same game with the same people in different fonts and wants something challenging for once. enter sage. sage is one of the newer transfered students along with her older sister. lara has heard about them in passing due to yoonchae and sage already having a few friends that also attend the school. and to make matters better lara finds out sage is the daughter of both the newest dean and a professor at the school. this school year is going to be full of surprises.
PAIRINGS: lara raj x fem!oc reader, a secret side pairing that's not so secret
TAGS: slow burn, kys jokes, lara, manon, sophia and megan are not great people in this for a minute, emotional manipulation, implied abuse, it's based on the movie cruel intentions 1997 that's enough of a warning tbh, angst, heavy topics, profanity, suicidal ideation, abuse of authority from a teacher over a student, power dynamics. will add more as I go
THE CAST: katseye, yuna from itzy, eunchae from le sserafim, chase infiniti, laya deleon hayes, tamara smart. elizabeth olsen. will tag more as i go.
STATUS: ongoing
A/N: fc is kyleigh curran. i know i know. listen-- im dumb :D. i was watching cruel intentions and went hmm. this is waaay separate from whyhernotme and is not a spin-off of that universe but sage and shiloh make a return but this time sage is taking center stage to be terrorized i mean loved!
profiles: we have a trusted ADULT-adult! | angels who done nothing wrong
omg i read wicked game ch 2 and i fucking loved it! i thought the reasoning at the end was strong enough for me to forgive sodani just a little bit but now i’m mad at the dad too! like tf you mean you made a deal with the two people who ruined the last five years of your daughter’s life and asked her to listen first without anger!!
i can empathize that sodani had tough decisions to make to save their families and themselves but they really couldn’t have just cc’ed her in the email and looped her in??? instead they disappeared for five years and let her spiral all for a lie??? i really want that sodanon endgame but they’re gonna have to work for it. i’m looking forward to seeing what you’re gonna make them do to get back in manon’s (and her friends’) good graces bc i’m sure it’s a lot lolololol (as they deserve!)
and as much as i love her, unfortunately i’m also looking forward to seeing the unraveling of manon now that they’re back in her life and she might have to play house with them (if i am interpreting it right). what can i say, i just love angst and pain and you do it so well
- w&a anon
even when i was writing the part with manon's father i went 'i know i wrote this but sir-- wat do you mean listen without being mad???' his mind went straight to seeing how he could protect the families legacy and the company instead of thinking of manon cause it's kneejerk reaction not a defense but parent brain can be stupid and he was stupid dsjfnsdfkf
...oh ya'll not going to be happy at all about the next reveal in chp 3 because hgvjbknjknj but oh manon's going to put them through it for a while cause the anger was much easier to deal with when she didn't have to look at them but now that they're physically where she can see them oh that anger will surface. lara and yoonchae may talk to them but it's kind of surface level and megan does not deal with them at all. but future chapters will have a sophia and dani's pov, i plan to do sophia's for chap 4 or 5.
you're interpreting it correctly! she will have to play house with them but she will not make it easy as she manon barely likes attending any upscale parties and now is basically being forced to go.

when shiloh unexpectedly quit the up-and-coming rock band katseye after they exploded on the scene with a critically acclaimed first album that was followed by a highly successful world tour, it left both fans and critics shocked as to why she would leave at the height of the band's success and popularity. unbeknownst to all, shiloh's contract wasn't renewed after being voted out and replaced by daniela's best friend, manon bannerman, by her band members. for the past two years shiloh has been dark on her public socials until she out of nowhere drops a teaser of her new single along with rumors of her releasing a solo album soon —right around the same time her former band will be dropping their third album. things are going to get interesting, especially when she has to start being around her ex, sophia, and the girl she left her for and was replaced in the band with, manon. fun, huh?
half-written chapter
WORD COUNT: 4.6k
her mother's fingers played with the end of her curls as she looked into her daughter's eyes. there was warmth or any trace of love towards shiloh, "you've always been hard to love, and it's why it's best for you to stay alone, shiloh."
shiloh hadn't said a word during the drive to hxg company building.
it was starting to get concerning.
the only time shiloh did say anything was when she greeted the driver and simone while she climbed into the backseat of the car next to simone but said nothing afterwards— it worried her manager immensely.
she's only known and worked with shiloh for a few months, but she is not yet used to shiloh being this quiet, as this was a side of the younger girl she had yet to witness. however, she also knows the moments when she needs to be pushed— and when it's best to leave it alone until shiloh tells you herself when she's ready.
this is one of the moments where pushing may lead to shiloh shutting down completely.
simone made a note in her phone to remind her to tell her assistant to send that list of highly recommended therapists in the area to her personal email. she meant every word about caring about shiloh and her well-being.
meanwhile, shiloh was replaying the talk she and ryujin avoided. both were afraid of the possible outcomes that would come from it and what it could mean for them and their friendship in the future.
ryujin knew from the moment she laid eyes on shiloh when they met while katseye was touring in korea that she wanted to get to know her better, and the feeling grew exponentially from the many conversations— and all the flirting ryujin did— when they started working closely together behind the scenes.
she got to see why many people considered shiloh to be some kind of prodigy when it came to songwriting— the girl had a way with words and knew what to do to make you feel how she felt while writing.
ryujin was intrigued.
—she was in love. and hadn't known it yet.
didn't understand it— until it was too late.
the moment ryujin knew her feelings were deeper than she realized was at the party hxg had thrown to welcome her to the label— seeing shiloh smile, dance, and have fun stirred up feelings inside ryujin that she had just mistaken for admiration— then the kiss happened.
that kissed changed everything for ryujin— and for shiloh.
ryujin knew in that moment that her feelings were much more than just her being attracted to her— it was not just a crush. and shiloh— she has always, and still is, oblivious to others' perceptions of her due to her parents and can't grasp that anyone could actually love or want her. what she thought was harmless flirting was no longer harmless.
it terrified her.
because she knew that— shiloh knew—
even now shiloh was afraid to admit to herself. regan had said it through their texts, and shiloh shut down after it was brought up— she didn't want to think about it. didn't want to acknowledge it. it was too much.
shiloh and ryujin both believed and told themselves that the kiss didn't change anything between them and everything would go back to normal for them.
ryujin flirtly with her relentlessly.
shiloh being flustered by it and not knowing how words work.
normal.
they continued their normal—and safe— dynamic all the way til the meet and greet turned sleepover in shiloh's home, where everyone proceeded to witness what regan always says in their group chats and regular conversations: how much shiloh babies the youngest members of katseye and now sage. —everyone but halle was too scared to make fun of shiloh about it, though.
but something…shifted between ryujin and shiloh that nothing.
the only person who didn't realize it was shiloh but ryujin did. she knew something inevitable was about to happen between them, and instead of fighting it or ignoring it like she's been doing— she'll just let it happen.
and it did.
ryujin was still awake when sage had come back downstairs; she could tell from the redness in her eyes that she and shiloh had the long and overdue talk about their parents.
when twenty minutes had passed by and ryujin still hadn't gone asleep— she didn't know what possessed her to do so, but she went upstairs to shiloh's bedroom, and everything started off normal— they talked.
neither woman was aware of the subject shifting away from what they were originally discussing. they were talking about how things were going with ryujin's album when there was a long pause after another question thrown ryujin's way that had shiloh thinking the other woman had fallen asleep sitting up like she's done before, but then she heard ryujin whisper, "i can't get you out of my head shy…"
shiloh said nothing.
ryujin continued.
"i think— i've tried everything to not think about you, and in doing so, i think about you more than it consumes me wholly, shy..."
shiloh remembers the way her fists were tightly gripping the covers— can even feel the softness from them in her hands now. that night shiloh didn't know what to do or what to say that would be of any comfort to her friend.
she feels...something for ryujin and has known for a while that she does.
but there's also a part of shiloh that she has not addressed yet or wants to acknowledge that stops her every time, and because of that, shiloh does not want to lead ryujin on or give her hope for something that could ruin their friendships.
or me ruining her—
you're so hard to love, shy—it's why you'll be alone—
more was said— both agreeing that what they're about to do would be a one-time thing and maybe— maybe— this would get it out of their systems, and afterwards they will have a full, honest discussion about it all and what it means for them and their friendship.
ryujin truly believed that them sleeping together would get her to finally move on and stop shiloh from consuming every part of her because this has happened several times before where she thought a crush was really just physical attraction, and then she would move on from it.
or that's what was supposed to happen.
when ryujin was fully awake in the morning, two realizations hit her all at once.
she had slept with shiloh.
—and her feeling about the other woman did not go anywhere.
it wasn't physical attraction that drew her to shiloh, and it's not just a simple crush.
ryujin's feelings for shiloh are real and stronger than she originally believed.
and that scared her.
by the time shiloh had woken up, ryujin was gone and downstairs. they went into avoidance about what happened between them that night ever since. their normal dynamic returned— but it felt forced, and none of their friends had caught on to it yet.
ryujin saw that them avoiding what happened that night could potentially make things between them worse— she feared her eventually resenting shiloh if they didn't talk about it.
well— they talked. ryujin bared everything to shiloh— admitted that she's liked her for a lot longer than she realized. how she knows just how frightened she is of letting herself be loved, but shiloh also told her that she does have feelings for ryujin and that it would be so much easier for them to be together, but she knows that if they would try, ryujin would start resenting her.
"because of sophia?" ryujin asked her. shiloh went rigid at hearing the name.
"so you're ruining whatever we could be cause you're too afraid to move on," ryujin said this without malice; the words came out so softly, but shiloh still flinched visibly.
they had talked more— shiloh apologized for leading her on in any way, but ryujin stopped her, telling her that she shouldn't blame herself for something she did on her own free will.
it ended with ryujin saying that she needed some space and to be alone for a moment, that she knows shiloh has a meeting to go to, and that she'll text when she's ready to be around her again. "i'm not ending our friendship, shiloh—it's only— it's a temporary pause until then— i can't…"
she didn't look at shiloh when saying that.
not once.
shiloh wanted to give ryujin everything she ever asked for— wanted to let herself be loved by her. —but it would be fake— forced. she's simply not ready, and ryujin deserves someone who's not stuck forever in the past and can't emotionally move on from it. maybe she would be someday but right now—
you're hard to love shiloh— is this what mama meant by that?
now shiloh's in the backseat of a car with her manager staring at her anxiously as they are driven to the label's main building— and to that meeting room where she sat two years ago, only this time she wasn't there to be kicked out and replaced but for something different.
simone reached out and put a hand on top of shiloh's, rubbing calming circles on the back of her hand with her thumb in an attempt to console her and letting her know that she was there for her. she didn't know what exactly caused this kind of quiet from shiloh but simone's not going to sit here and let the younger girl suffer silently— not while she's around.
she didn't even look up from her phone when she shiloh turned to look at her— shiloh wanted to thank the older woman for what she was doing but was afraid that she was going to blurt out something embarrassing or worse— start crying. probably sensing the building emotions through the physical contact, simone squeezed her hand
shiloh shifted her gaze away from simone to the car window, leaning her head back to rest against the seat while she looked outside and smiled softly to herself— she really was a big softie like the assistant said she is. shiloh made a mental note to ask her what it is simone likes before the day is over with.
—simone's hand stayed on top of shiloh's hand for the remainder of the ride.
her hands were shaking.
shiloh's hands hadn't stopped trembling since they entered the building and hadn't stopped while they were being escorted to the elevator— if anything, the trembling got worse.
she was scared. no— shiloh was absolutely terrified, and it showed.
it showed in how she would look over at simone with these wide, pleading eyes. shiloh knew that this meeting was inevitable and needed to be done— but that doesn't lessen the fear going through her body just by being in this building and knowing where they're going. shiloh did not want to go into that room— she did not want to remember that day.
i need to move on.
i have to move on— i have to—
they had arrived to the meeting room, and while everyone else had gone inside already— shiloh was just standing there staring at the door. shiloh had the urge to turn around and run out of the building or start screaming, and maybe that would stall this from happening— or they'd send her directly to a hospital for another psych evaluation.
simone had placed a hand on shiloh's lower back to encourage her to enter the room or let her know she was still there, and shiloh almost ran then because it startled her.
"i'm going in— i just need a little time..." shiloh said. simone nodded her head, understanding completely why the other girl did not want to enter into the room where you were told that you're being kicked out and replaced. and she had a theory that this was done by missy and hxg on purpose because this meeting could have been done in another part of the building, but instead this one was conveniently chosen.
a power play, that's what it is. they wanted to make sure shiloh knows her place still and rattle her. simone thought. the disgust she already had for this label continued to rise steadily.
shiloh took a very calming, deep breath, fists that wouldn't stop trembling were curled tightly to her side as she steeled herself. she was scared— terrified even— but she wasn't going to let hxg or missy know that because she knew that was possibly the reason why this damn room was chosen in the first place and, before she could talk herself out of it, walked into the room and almost passed out on the spot when she saw manon and sophia— her eyes had immediately gone to them. just like their eyes had locked on to her when she came into the room and stayed when she sat in the chair opposite them across the table. shiloh had lowered her gaze to the table in an attempt to slow down her racing heart—
she did not want to dissect the reasoning behind why that continues to happen whenever the two of them are in close proximity to each other.
the tension was already noticeable in the room, but it became near suffocating the moment shiloh's eyes were on the table— everyone was holding their breath— waiting to see what or who would break the tension.
but when shiloh looked up, this time her eyes went to yoonchae and megan's with the latter sending a wink and finger guns her way. shiloh tried and promptly failed to contain her snort of laughter.
hearing her laughter, even a small one, lifted the tension in the room— yoonchae nudged megan with her arm, but there was a smile on her face, which made megan grin even bigger. lara and daniela both put their heads down to hide their own smiles from showing. lara's shoulders shook slightly— she was definitely laughing. even manon and sophia had to hide their grins behind their hands.
it always started like that in serious situations— megan does something, shiloh tries not to laugh but does anyway, followed by yoonchae trying to reel the two of them in before joining in because of lara laughing and daniela dragged in because of her making eye contact with either megan or shiloh and she ends up laughing.
sophia's usually already laughing.
and manon fit right in with the ridiculous of them all.
simone took notice of what just happened— how easy the chemistry was between all of the girls.
she filed that down for later.
for now simone has to go into manager— and protective older sister— mode. if hxg and missy won't protect shiloh, or even the girls, then she has no problem doing it herself.
in the span of thirty minutes missy managed to actually talk about things that were reasonable in their approach— mostly because she knows that she's walking on a very thin line due to the agreement she and hxg had with shiloh about her having full control over everything in her career. missy found a loophole to get shiloh back— shiloh used it to her advantage. simple.
missy stated in complete detail about what it is that she and the label want and what they meant when it came to shiloh's agreement about her involvement with katseye and admitted upfront that they had left out some key details on what it is she'll be doing.
shiloh immediately turned to simone at what was just said— the older woman's expression was unreadable, but judging from how she stiffened, simone was none too happy at what she just heard. she shouldn't be surprised that details were kept, possibly due to them knowing that simone and shiloh both would have either shut it down right away or made some adjustments that worked more in their favor.
"i think everyone in the room knows that shiloh's return has brought lots of engagement and excitement for the label—" the sentence brought out different reactions around the room: shiloh made a face, lara and megan both rolled their eyes, and simone raised an eyebrow— shiloh has learned whenever she sees her manager do that, it is because she's currently contemplating if jail would be worth throwing something at someone. yoonchae just closed her eyes and sighed— she knew that they would do anything but give shiloh the credit she deserves. daniela side eyed missy and then shook her head— manon and sophia made the same face as shiloh did— a simultaneous look called, 'what the fuck, missy?"
shiloh made that face quite a lot when she was with the band whenever missy spoke to them.
"it also brought on some questions and some— hope concerning katseye and shiloh being in the same place as each other. —which is why we think shiloh should be more hands-on involved with katseye's third album—" everyone, but simone and the girls, nodded their heads because they all figured that shiloh was going to be involved in their third album. but it made them wonder, what did they mean by keeping some details away? "we also think shiloh should be involved in the writing and instrumental process if you're— 'comfortable' with it, that is."
the room stilled.
shiloh just stared at missy, eyes slowly widening as realizations started to hit, but before she could even conjure up a thought, missy added on, "the 'surprised guest' we had mentioned to the girls will be shiloh as the featured artist on a song, followed by a collab with the girls and shiloh as a special bonus for the fans—think of it as her being like a seventh member of the band."
sophia's head snapped over to missy— she knew missy was going to pull something, but she never would have guessed it was going to be anything like that because she knows— sophia knows shiloh would not be comfortable at all being in the same space as her— her and manon to be exact. she may desperately want to apologize and be near her again, but not like this, not when it's basically forced on her.
when no one said anything, however, missy continued, "before shiloh's unexpected— exit— " manon flinched. sophia's jaw clenched, and she looked down at her clasped hands in her lap. "—riot games came to us about creating a virtual band and wanted a few of our members, but because of the unfortunate timing of what happened, that fell through, but now with her back, they came to us again with the same idea, and we've accepted."
simone eyes narrowed at missy— she should have better prepared for this. she should have known that as soon as missy had enough time to recollect and think, she would pull something that would force shiloh into places she's not yet comfortable.
"the members that are joining— who would they be?" simone asked. voice clipped as she stared straight at missy. she had a feeling that missy was just going to wait until the last second to let both the girls and shiloh know.
"well— shiloh of course, is one of the members…along with lara—" well that's not surprising; lara has a beautiful voice, so it makes the most sense she would be included. "sophia, manon— and ryujin."
shiloh's stomach dropped.
ryujin.
ryujin and sophia.
in the same room and possibly sharing the same stage because there's a high chance they would be asked to do the song live.
but missy didn't stop there— she apparently had more surprises she wanted to throw at them when they'd barely recovered from the news she had just delivered.
"the fans have made it very clear how they'd like to hear shiloh sing with katseye again— but they seem to really love the idea of hearing her sing with sophia again—" missy glanced over at manon, then slowly brought her gaze to shiloh. "and they would like to hear the former co-lead sing with the current and seeing as this is something that the fans want and shiloh accepting being involved with katseye—"
she's not going to suggest what i think she is—
"shiloh will collaborate with sophia on one song and another with manon. we've already talked to the studio to arrange timeslots for the recordings, and we'll discuss more later with manon, sophia and shiloh seperately about how promotions will work, as today is all about shiloh and katseye working together, and anything further that needs to be discussed outside of this and what can be worked out, send me an email or call me, and we'll talk this over," missy said as she looked directly at simone, making sure the other woman knew the last part was for simone.
simone hadn't kept her from missy through the woman's entire explanation, while missy divided her looks between the girls—mainly sophia and manon— and shiloh, though she tended to keep them primarily on shiloh as if she wanted to see how she specifically reacts to any of the information she told the room. shiloh had sat back into her seat, eyes lowered to her hands that were in her lap because she knew— she knew what missy intended to do and still wasn't properly prepared for it.
it made simone's eye twitch.
"only if shy— shiloh agrees. " everyone's head turned towards sophia, but she was looking at missy, "if she agrees, then shiloh, manon and i choose how we get to do the promotions— and the girls want to interact with our fans again and promote our third album our way, like we did before. you can make suggestions, but all of us get the final say."
"when it comes to the songs— the songs lara and i wrote from before— they will be the ones i record with them, and we get the final say on which ones will be on their album," shiloh said before missy could respond.
"missy are you telling shiloh she's collaborating with me and sophia or asking her? you phrased it like she has no choice in the matter when she should. " manon pointed out. "we know the fans want it, but the decision should be hers to make, and then we either scrap it or let her decide who she wants to sing with."
everyone in the room knows exactly what the fans want because of how loudly they are on social media about it. fans have been saying even when shiloh stopped posting that they've wanted to hear her sing with sophia again and how they would like to hear how manon and shiloh's voices mix together— some have even posted audios on tiktok where shiloh and manon's voices are isolated and mixed together just to hear it. manon herself would love for it to happen, but still it doesn't shiloh should be forced to do it.
because of how vocal the fans are on social media, everyone in the room knows exactly what they want. even after shiloh went dark on her public socials, eyekons continued to express their desire of hearing her sing with sophia once more and how shiloh's voice would blend just as well with manon's or how all three would sound together, with some even making audios where they've mixed their voices together on tiktok just out of curiosity.
manon would love for it to happen and has wanted to say something in agreement whenever fans brought the idea up whenever the girls went live— her mind usually went blank because then they drifted to never-ending thoughts manon did not want to deal with back then, but the thought never changed. however, the thought still remains— the fans and manon may want it, but shiloh shouldn't be forced into doing it.
shiloh's should make that choice because she wants to do it.
the choices have been taken away from her enough.
missy's jaw twitched; there was a flash of irritation before she caught herself and looked down at her notes. —but shiloh caught it. there was a lot of things missy most likely expected, like feedback, questions, and even a little bit of pushback. missy wasn't expecting all the girls to be on the very same wavelength or unified in a way that seemed natural. too natural.
but the girls had more to say. sophia speaking out first seemed to have created a domino effect.
"— i want to address the fans about what happened recently," lara said. she looked around the room nervously before her eyes landed on shiloh's— this time she didn't look away from the older woman in shame or guilt. "shiloh shouldn't have had to be the only one to say anything— i need to say something as well. " lara wanted to say more, but she would have rambled out an apology, but it would have been manipulative— very manipulative. an apology shouldn't be done where there are people around and it forces them into accepting the apology, and lara does not want to do that. she rather it happens when it's the two of them and it just— she just wants to talk to her. even if she doesn't forgive her for what happened two years ago— and with sage.
simone stepped in quickly before missy could say something that would derail the girls from speaking more. "i think it is high time that the company does something to protect the girls better because from my and fans' points of view, the label does nothing to ensure the girls' mental health or well-being is being taken seriously. all of them deserve better than what you've given them."
shiloh had to fake a cough to cover up the laughter that bubbled up because of the look that missy currently had on her face— the brief look of irritation was no longer brief— it was full-blown, and shiloh really wanted to laugh in her face but controlled herself enough to not do so, and with the meeting winding down, considering that everything that needed to be brought up and said was done— she also did not want to be in this room longer than necessary.
but apparently— missy wasn't going to let things go that easily.
"yes— i have been taking steps to ensure the girls and shiloh would be better protected and have arranged for mental health professionals for the girls whenever they need them so the girls wouldn't go through a crisis," missy looks directly at shiloh as she says the rest, "we wouldn't want another incident where a mental health episode sends one of our girls into a hospital for several days— right, miss boudreaux?"
the silence that came over the room was deafening.
simone clenched her jaws so tightly that she was shocked that the pressure didn't cause her teeth to crack. she was already aware of the attempt because shiloh herself told her about it, and now she was disgusted by missy callousness.
lara's eyes widened, looking back and forth between missy and shiloh it started to click in her mind.
daniela's eyes darkened. she was furious— but not at shiloh. no— she glared angrily at missy.
sophia eyebrows furrowed, confusion written over her face as she tried to understand what it is missy meant.
what does she mean? hospital— did shiloh— no. shiloh wouldn't… she wouldn't… snoopy what did you do?
manon and yoonchae however, knew exactly what missy just implied and both looked over to shiloh.
for shiloh, the room stilled, and she immediately felt how crushing the silence that came after missy's words, she stared, unblinkingly, at the older woman for so long that her eyes began to sting.
the one thing she did not want anyone in the room to know about— knows.
yoonchae knows.
yoonchae knows.
they know.
shiloh turned her head slowly, looking at yoonchae, face paled, with wide eyes that were now filling with tears, and what she saw hurt even more.
yoonchae looked absolutely crushed. "unnie…?"
you're so hard to love, shiloh.
a/n: im so sorry this took so long. my break from school started back and i've mainly been working night shifts so i've been tired and overwhelmed....also i dont really like this chapter and it's been deleted and i have started it over repeatedly and i still don't like it but here we go! pls forgive any mistakes
that last chapter was lowkey at an out of body experience. outstanding. devastating. it was a lot and still at the end i wanted more. 10s upon 10s and then more 10s.
this deepening of shiloh’s lore…the audacity of her mother to reach out to her after all that AND demand she reply omg! and her fuckass dad too! and the way her found family abandoned her too! what the farkkkk <- me the whole time reading the shit she had to go through. it actually partially reminds me of the broadway musical next to normal, except in that at least the parents make some sort of effort to love their alive daughter
you put both me AND shiloh through the ringer. bravo. that last part broke me. shiloh passing the age her uncle was when he died and choosing to make the same decision he did and surviving. shiloh seeing all the hate when she opened twitter and planning her exit while telling regan she was doing better. shiloh equating being left by everyone in her life to her trying to off herself because of the pain from all that abandonment, because that would mean “leaving” yoonchae and regan…OH MY GOD! painnnn. the moment with regan (and of course, everything else that’s been built up before) has made me really appreciate the position her circle of friends have in her life after everything that’s happened. and with regan, especially, being the person in the immediate aftermath of what happened, i wonder how she’s taking the reintroduction of not only katseye back in her life but also eventually finding out about (i’m just predicting here), shiloh’s parents trying to force their way back in too.
everything felt so visual and lyrical and cinematic here. thank you for writing this beautiful chapter, with how hard it was to read (as good as it was), i’m sure it was even harder to write. but you did it and it was a treat (and torture at the same time.)
-w&a anon
HVJHBH thank you thank you i was truly afraid that i did entirely too much with this chapter and like thought people would think the same so im very happy to see that it's being well received.
even while writing i was amazed at her mother's audacity cause like ma'am YOU the problem and set the system up! i had it in my head way before that josiah's stupidity is the catalyst for a lot of shai then shiloh and sage's trauma because of what he did to his brother by dating and not saying anything about their son's back to back seizures that man really destroyed lives and then dipped dbsnsmsms
shiloh always had this weird thought that played in her mind after she read her father's journal because she fully believe that her fate was going to end up exactly like her uncles if and when she passes 21 because of her parents projection of their grief and guilt and pouring into her cause of their constantly saying 'you look like them' and was just defeated when she realized she survived but when she saw regan in that hospital and thought about yoonchae it hit her very hard that she tried to leave them and she's traumatized so badly baby girl thinks her trying to kill herself is the same as abandoning people. OH REGAN HAS PLENTY TO SAY ABOUT IT ALL!! and she's going to address it too, and there's going to be a lil confrontation in the future between her and sophia...possibly manon first but that sophia one is gonna hit hard and regan does not yet know about shiloh's parents coming back, neither does yoonchae or even sage, but that girl is going to be homicidal when she does she's very protective over both shiloh and sage.
fndkdkd thank you for the compliment and you are very welcome i am so very glad that you liked the chapter and yeah it was hard but i did like giving you guys a deeper lore of why shiloh is the way she is.
also chp 2 of wicked game has been posted and I honestly cannot wait to see what you think of it (and the ending)!
when shiloh unexpectedly quit the up-and-coming rock band katseye after they exploded on the scene with a critically acclaimed first album that was followed by a highly successful world tour, it left both fans and critics shocked as to why she would leave at the height of the band's success and popularity. unbeknownst to all, shiloh's contract wasn't renewed after being voted out and replaced by daniela's best friend, manon bannerman, by her band members. for the past two years shiloh has been dark on her public socials until she out of nowhere drops a teaser of her new single along with rumors of her releasing a solo album soon —right around the same time her former band will be dropping their third album. things are going to get interesting, especially when she has to start being around her ex, sophia, and the girl she left her for and was replaced in the band with, manon. fun, huh?
SHILOH BATISTE-BOUDREAUX - 23
eldest daughter
named after her brother and uncle.
lived in louisiana for a short period of time until she moved to california with her parents.
fluent in louisiana creole and knows some french but doesn't really care to learn it
abandoned by parents: her father left when she was 6, and her mother left after her 13th birthday.
spent the majority of high school lying to everyone at an all-girls charter school but cannot lie to save her life (regan and yoonchae find it hilarious)
former co-lead singer and lead guitarist of katseye
obsessed with star wars and snoopy.
love life = complicated.
SAGE BATISTE-BOUDREAUX - 20
youngest daughter
before she knew shiloh was her sister and always connected with her more when she was in the band, and she still has the giant posters of her sister in her bedroom
songwriting and music were the only things that kept her sane while living with her parents.
found out shiloh was her sister by accident.
doesn't know she had a brother or know anything about her uncle.
shiloh became the main reason why she went to school for songwriting/music
her and shiloh have a lot of similarities that only shai noticed as she grew up
in love with lara raj
currently lives with shiloh after an argument with her parents went bad
SHAI BATISTE-BOUDREAUX - 51
mother of shiloh, sage and her late older and only son shiloh 'jj'
fell in love with her husband's brother but started dating josiah since she believed the feelings weren't returned
kept tabs on shiloh without her daughter knowing.
the trauma of her son's death followed by the traumatic early birth of shiloh changed her significantly
took out her grief over what happened with jj and projected it onto shiloh
her grief caused her to isolate both shiloh and sage
believes because she stayed with shiloh the longest, she deserves a chance to be back into her life
hasn't been to any of katseye's concerts when shiloh was with the band but watched all recordings, interviews and commercials she was in
while shiloh was afraid of her father as a child it has shifted over to her mother
JOSIAH BOUDREAUX - 53
father of shiloh, sage, and the late shiloh 'jj'
actively pursued shai knowing full well his brother and her like each other
still blames himself for jj's death years later
always had trouble looking into shiloh's eyes because he always saw his little brother in them
began his affair with sage's mother before leaving louisiana and learned about her pregnancy weeks before they moved
is partly the reason why shai left shiloh and said she can come but he doesn't think he'd be able to handle being around shiloh
has regrets for how he treated shiloh but is too proud/stubborn to admit it
shiloh used to be extremely afraid of him as a child because of how she observed him and how coldly he looked/treated her
had been to most of shiloh's concerts when she was with katseye and it was actually him who shiloh saw one night that caused her to have a panic attack

the more I know about shiloh's story the less I want her back with sophia 😭
and if manon doesn't know the full extent then she should dump sophia's ass after finding out /hj
dsifjdsoafjmifm in a small defense of sophia, shiloh has never told her the extent of her family history and the only two people shiloh has ever told it to are regan and yoonchae.
and manon has no idea about shiloh's situation with her parents and just thinks shiloh is estranged from them because the girls at least still respected shiloh's choice with letting her tell people about her parents abandoning her.
the way i think ao3 commenters and yall gone snatch my soul out of my body because of the way the second chapter to wicked game ended and im feeling slightly afeared
