life chapter “ass-pa”: gossipy

life chapter “p.s your baddie”: invu

life chapter: ass-pa “perfect night cause she’s dancing with her girls”

“i’m almost there Yoon-ah” ChanHee sighed driving nearby, he knew he wasn’t the first option to call but was positive about the fact that after years Yoon went to him in an emergency.

Yoon called YeRim first but she didn’t pick up as she was filming something actoral related and then Aeri and Yizhuo went out to buy some groceries and clothes, MinJeong went to the hairstylist and JiMin went to the company to talk about her appearance in a fashion show.

as if yesterday a whole war wasn’t fought in their home.

ChanHee and Yoon have been friends since years, both grew together but never mistook their relationship as something romantic, not back not now.

when Chani pulled over she was standing there, puffy face and disastrous outfit, covered with thousands of layers.

“Yoon-ah you shouldn’t be looking this ugly when trying to win back a guy” ChanHee tried to joke when she hoped in the car, but she pouted and started to cry her eyes out, her body trembling by the sobs.

“he told me he hated me ChanHee” she sobbed as he started to drive again, notoriously mad about his friends words “he blamed me for everything and…i mean! i have some fault but we couldn’t even talk properly because he didn’t got my point”

“Yoonie, it’s okay let’s calm down a bit” he remained calmed as always “maybe the pressure of the rumors and everything happening made him say stupid things”

“he asked me if we were something” Yoon said abruptly while cleaning her nose with her hands and ChanHee couldn’t help to chuckle.

Yoon continued talking about the whole conversation and ChanHee couldn’t believe how stupid both were.

“he didn’t have time to beg you to come back but have time to think about us having something?” he sarcastically said stepping out of the car at his shared home.

Yoon got off the car and walked behind ChanHee, to his house.

“i have company, get dressed!” ChanHee yelled as soon as he stepped into the house, Yoon laughing under breath.

“i don’t mind if you aren’t wearing a shirt TaeYang-oppa” Yoon joked loudly, JaeYoon stepped out of the kitchen.

“TaeYang isn’t here pervert”

Yoon laughed and JaeYoon took some time inspecting the situation, she never came over unless it was something serious.

“are you okay Yoonie?” he asked ruffling her hair, she wiped her nose with her hand like a kid and nodded with a sad smile.

“okay, you know the drill, open door and no loud tv” JaeYoon left the topic not wanting to push Yoon and started joking about them dating, like all SF9 did always.

“shut it hyung!” Chani rolled his eyes at the older and pushed Yoon towards his room, JaeYoon kept joking behind their backs.

“we should date Channie” Yoon said with no hesitation but also nonsense, ChanHee raised his eyebrows and untied Yoon’s shoes for her to kick them off.

“you’re talking bullshit” he rolled his eyes throwing himself at Yoon’s side, she laughed loudly and he rolled his eyes again, with a silly smile.

they started talking, ChanHee trying to avoid the situation and the topic of Mark Lee and Yoon’s upcoming duet.

“i want to be as jobless as you” Yoon teased ChanHee after the topic became what is your last youtube search, her friend lightly kicking her leg.

“at least i know what’s the noise a giraffe do when coughing”

“at least i know you’re single by choice” she teased again and ChanHee was about to kick her again but a sudden burst in the door distracted both.

it was YoungBin, just arriving still in practice clothes and holding a bag with beer and fried chicken, behind him was JaeYoon and SangHyuk.

“is there space in the bed for us?” and before YoungBing’s question was answered by a moody ChanHee, Yoon was tearing up.

life chapter: p.s your baddie “rum pum pum pum”

Yoon and Mark stood in silence, Yoon’s room felt small and suffocating for both.

JiMin and TaeYong sent them to talk after the altercation at the living room, a tom have to be said but anyone wanted to do it.

“Mark…” Yoon hesitated, nervous under his eyes, it wasn’t the same small thin kid she knew.

“you know how hurt i felt after you texted me we were over?” he said without trembling, looking forward to her eyes.

“well, that’s how it felt when you literally ditched me a whole month, in which was included our monthly count and my birthday, i was your girlfriend Mark” now Yoon didn’t flinch, tired of being portrayed as the one with the fault.

“i was a 15 year old being overworked! what did you expected from me?!”

“i didn’t expected anything, i wanted you to fulfill your promises at the same time as your dreams!” Yoon raised her voice as well, tears forming up in her eyes.

Yoon only had other 2 situationships after Mark, both ended up with maturity, none hurt like Mark’s.

“that’s why you ran to ChanHee’s arms when you could?” he mumbled angrily, that thought being in the back of his mind for a long time.

Yoon opened her eyes surprised at the implication, she had met ChanHee just a little time before she called it quits with Mark, but never involved herself with him in any way.

“what the fuck did you said?” Yoon muttered with gritted teeth, angry stepping closer to Mark whom seemed to lost the bravery he had a moment ago.

“repeat it!” she was closer and Mark could see the tears in her eyes, the sadness behind them, it seemed like the rumors uncovered a wound not even close to heal.

“you don’t know how much i cried over being forgotten by my first boyfriend, by the one that was my first love and said to me i was his” Yoon finally said untying her feelings, the ones in her chest from years ago “you don’t know how much i blamed myself for it, how much i yelled at everyone for being grumpy about you looking just fine without me”

“you were the one to broke up with me” Mark mumbled in a little voice, almost whispering “i suffered too but i had to go to work everyday, i couldn’t just go and cry at the stage”

“i didn’t even had time to sleep or eat, you think i had time to beg you to come back?” his words have hit Yoon hard in the chest, it was true but she wanted caring gestures, an idealized attitude.

“i didn’t wanted you to beg, i wanted you to send a text or even just a call a week” Yoon smiled with empty eyes “i guess we were kids, what were we doing playing boyfriend and girlfriend”

“i just wanted you to be more empathetic and understand that i just debuted, it wasn’t that hard Byun HaYoon” Mark was mad again, calling Yoon by her government name and shit.

“and i wanted someone to trust and rely back at the fact that my parents didn’t support me, and YeRim was promoting her hated debut” she said quietly again, none of the sides calming down, just outing their hidden feelings.

“and ChanHee was just there?” Mark needed to clarify that doubt for his own sanity, so he asked skeptically raising his eyebrows.

Yoon’s eyes turned up again, almost throwing flames, the talk was about her and Mark, what did ChanHee had to do with it?

“leave ChanHee out of this!” she exclaimed loudly and Mark grinned unamused.

“why? did you promise him your unconditional love? or to protect him no matter what?” Mark said sarcastically the same words she whispered to him one night after a tiring schedule.

“do you care?”

“i do, because i loved you and i think i was being taken as a joke”

Yoon couldn’t take it anymore, she was tired and Mark was too stubborn to get her point.

Mark was tired and Yoon didn’t understand that he needed support too.

Both selfish, both childish.

“get out” she said under her breath, angry and sad tears threatening their way out.

Mark looked at her but she didn’t looked back, not wanting him to see the mess she was for him.

johnnystoeS wait for SM to fool us and releasing a sexy song with this cover of the album and a cunty photo book

life chapter: ass-pa “a homie hopper and a home wrecker”

“what if i combust and die”

“weren’t you into his friend?” the makeup artist inquired as Yoon was overthinking about the fact that she had to film a relationship-kind video with THEE Jung Jaehyun.

the valentine sweethearts came together to attract the world’s attention after the “Mark” incident, SM decided to stay silent and suddenly just drop the promotional campaign for a valentine’s special single.

but first it was the meeting that led to concept and demos, if something was wrong or didn’t match the idea of the company it was supposed to be displayed.

Yoon came into the room first, waving at the cameras and sitting with her manager then the door creaked open and Jaehyun appeared.

she remembered him from SM rookies and a few other activities together and he debuted with Mark firstly on the 7th sense unit, she was used to see JaeHyun at the practice room when she grabbed lunch with Mark, or when they fought on the halls and he had to call Mark to continue with the the practice.

“we finally have the Valentine’s babies!” the creative director said happily as the request was finally answered.

they both smiled and the meeting started, the demo and concept was presented.

soon the meeting room was getting empty, JaeHyun’s and Nabi’s managers sharing important things and both idols got together to talk…i mean they were supposed to kiss and everything for the promotions.

“thoughts on this?” it was the first thing JaeHyun said to her, Yoon frowned slightly.

“i’m against it, they could be releasing a statement about privacy but they got me here looking like a homie hopper” she mumbled angry, after talks and talks TaeYong and JiMin agreed to do whatever the company wanted or was willing to do.

“strong words, how about we don’t hop in each other” he tried to joke but Yoon didn’t found it funny so she stared at him “look it’s not like i wanted to do it, it’s my fault to be born on Valentine’s as well? no, if i’m honest with you i’m scared to lose my friends, this project is kept as secret from 127 crew so…yeah we are both screwed”

“your real birthday is on Valentine’s?”

“yes, yours isn’t?” he said confused.

“yes! but i saw somewhere that your birthday was given by the company to make you look even more perfect” Yoon said curiously, trying to dismiss the fact that she was being rude to JaeHyun and he wasn’t the one to blame.

“more perfect?” a mischievous smile flashed JaeHyun’s face and she could help to laugh at the goofiness.

“shut it, i’m still fighting my feelings for your friend” she rolled her eyes not caring anymore about the situation, he opened his eyes widely since Mark seemed pissed of at the next day they talked.

“so…i’m being putted on the spot as a home wrecker?” JaeHyun mildly asked as he was scared for his personal life now.

“i don’t think so, Mark hates me, he said it to me the other day right at my face” Yoon smiled sadly “it’s okay, i guess i got selfish when he debuted and then when i saw him again i couldn’t help to burst into flames”

“you’re…single then?” JaeHyun raised his eyebrows, trying to break the sadness set in the conversation earning a joyful laugh from Yoon.

“i am, but i don’t date people from the same conglomerate” Yoon continued the joke and it was his time to laugh.

“it has happened to you?”

JEON SOMI & BYUN HAYOON

Yoon was proposed to join produce 101 while she was a trainee but went to the set at Mnet and hated the idea still stayed to audition.

There was Somi, looking and sounding energetic.

They talked and threw some hate comments at Mnet while laughing and there was a friendship starting.

Both being trainees for a while brought them closer, all in a Mnet set.

Both debuted at different time but there wasn’t any problems in between, they continued texting and sending each other greetings.

When Yoon started to “date” Mark, she asked Somi to teach her english.

Fun fact: Yoon was the one that actually introduced Somi to Giselle.

KANG CHANHEE & BYUN HAYOON

Somehow Red Velvet’s and SF9 schedules came together and as Yoon was attached to Yeri all time she was there in a wating room when Chani stormed in and started to take of his shirt.

“are you a crazy stalker?!” “yes”

Chani had an annoyed look while Yoon an shit eating grin.

Ever since that day that Chani entered the wrong room they’ve been friends.

Sadly there isn’t any high quality pictures, just the ones dispatch take when they go out.

Actually their friendship was acknowledged as a dating rumor but even before the companies could release an statement, Yoon went live.

“if we were dating, he would treat me lovingly not leaving me behind or making me carry his stuff”.

And then Chani did the same.

“i kinda dislike her a lot, she is annoying time to time and snores in the front seat she steals from me”

KIM YERIM & BYUN HAYOON

It’s a repetitive story: audition almost the same day, got in almost in the same time and couldn’t debut together because the concept didn’t match the aesthetics.

They cry every single birthday they spend together because they always get drunk and they start talking about being soulmates.

Both used to be in love childishly with Johnny, and giggled anytime he was around.

JooHyun used to iron their uniforms together and make identical lunch boxes for each one, as SeulGi used to play with them in the practice room.

Basically the 2nd maknae of Red Velvet.

Just as Kai and TaeMin, dispatch tried to call them a couple but they just went live and pretended they were, in fact, a couple.

life chapter: p.s your baddie “invu” media

“what the fuck i’m supposed to do?” HaYoon threw her phone at the couch as some dumbass came out saying that in an old picture of high school you could see her and Mark walking while talking lovely.

“i’m calling TaeYong oppa” Aeri took her phone out at the same time as Jimin “i’m calling the manager, she came out too long ago for the food and she needs to fix this, fuck the fried chicken”

“i’m starving!”

“not now Minjeong-ah!”

soon the dorm had the manager trying to collect herself and TaeYong was on his way…with Mark.

“someone clean the eye boogers out of her face!”

so everyone who had a long time in the company knew that Mark and Yoon dated as they were always getting scolded for being to affectionate in public, as making out in the hallways and some other adolescent stuff going on.

it was a long time no see, and no one—more than YeRim—knew they used to be a real relationship not the one Yoon displayed weeks ago.

“for what tho?” Yizhuo inquired as everyone was trying to make Yoon less just-woke-up messy “so they can french kiss and we can call them a real couple?”

“Yizhuo!” the manager and Yoon scolded the girl as she laughed lightly with the others, but everything went silent as a knock was heard.

Aeri breathed and got up, opened the door and soon Yoon and Mark were face to face, after a long time.

“hey, Yoon you look…great”

“you too Mark”

and then both of them almost ran away to sit on opposites on the couch, while Jimin, Taeyong and the managers stood on front, ready to bring up solutions.

“i know it’s uncomfortable but, can you two tell us what actually happened?” Taeyong signaled at Yoon and Mark as they tried to find something more important to see.

“we briefly dated and then she broke up with me”

“i did? i remember you saying we couldn’t be together anymore because of your debut and stuff”

“because i was tired of all the rehearsals and i told you about it and you said let’s call it quits”

“because someone forgot the month count we had and my birthday, DongHyuk congratulated me better than you!” at this point Yoon and Mark were standing, almost yelling at each other.

“oh you’re still bitter because i couldn’t put it in?” this isn’t the Mark i know, who is this asshole? Yoon thought as he outed the time they tried to bang and couldn’t do it.

“yes, but you should be more bitter than me as you were the one that couldn’t keep it up” the giggles and TaeYong clearing his throat brought them back.

“i was super tired, it happens sometimes” Mark said ashamed, and Yoon felt as she was supposed to hug him for the humiliation that just happened.

“i think you both need to talk” Jimin started “but now we all need to figure out what to do or say about this pictures”

“let’s say they are friends, YeRim and Mark are friends, let’s connect them by her”

“i don’t think that’s a good idea, it could put YeRim or Yoon on the spot”

“we need to think better” TaeYong calmly said “girls can you leave the room?” he asked and then they quickly walked out “we have to talk and you guys should too”

suddenly Mark and Yoon were the only ones in the living room, just looking at everything but each other.

“i think…we should close this correctly” Mark said in a low tone, as Yoon nodded.

koreadispatch - [FROM SM ENT]

late classmate of 00’s on SOPA has proven to be right or to bring reality about the sparkling rumors around NCT’s Mark and Aespa’s HaYoon ‘Nabi’

a timeline: on december, both idols seemed awkwardly standing next to each other on SMtown latest edition, which lead to fans to start speculating about their past or their relationship as more of co-workers.

then netizens that used to attempt to SOPA on younger generations affirmed that the idols had a ‘really cute friendship that could easily being mistaken as a relationship’

dispatch inquired onto the rumors and found out there were most likely a relationship between idols.

and suddenly as one of the generational classmates was looking at the pictures taken at the end of semester he found several pictures that had both of the idols sharing a cute moment on background, having relationship actions such as kissing each others cheeks and holding hands.

life chapter “p.s your baddie”: some Hawaiian punch.

“oh sorry” the r sounded weak making Mark turn his head at the girl he just stumbled with.

ever since he came from Canada hasn’t faced anything more than xenophobia, mean guys telling him to go back to his country or girls making disgusting jokes about his accent when he tried to be nice to them.

every encounter with staff or other trainees was filled with malicious intentions of hurting him.

but not this one.

the black haired girl seemed really sorry for almost breaking his guitar and as it was known as ‘one of the foreign trainees’ she was really trying to apologize in a way he would understand.

“it’s fine” he mumbled in korean and the girl rushed to him to hold his hand.

YeRim told her about a canadian cute boy who was bullied for almost everything, she didn’t wanted him to think she was bad.

SeungWan explained the boy spoke a weak korean and that was an obvious reason for people to make fun of him.

“it’s not, i’m sorry let me buy you a fruit juice or something?” she said slowly but not in a offensive manner.

“can you buy one for my friend DongHyuck, he won’t leave me alone if i don’t have something for him”.

“is DongHyuck bad with you?”

“he’s annoying but surprisingly not a bully”.

“then he can get a juice i guess, can i drink it with you guys?”

by this point the pair was already walking to the convenience store while stumbling on some words or mixing languages time to time.

“i don’t think i have friends anymore, YeRim is about to debut”.

“you have…us, i guess” his nervous laugh made Yoon laugh as she placed her arm on his shoulders.

“i have you guys”.

life chapter “ass-pa”: gossipy

“you used to be all ‘oh god he is so handsome’ when he was out there looking like a whole loser” YeRim laughed at the memory of her best friend dying of love.

HaYoon shaked her head with a smile of disbelief “isn’t he your friend? wasn’t he your friend at the time?”.

both girls were walking aside of Han River, something they do since they’re trainees and was interrupted by the stacked schedules both had.

“i missed you unnie”

the other smiled while trapping her under her arm “i missed you too dummy”.

after the exchange of some caring words they continued their walk until an interruption because of a phone call.

JiMin sounded in distress on the other side of the phone as soon as HaYoon picked up.

she was being called to the dorm in urgency.

she hurriedly said goodbye to YeRim and almost ran to her manager waiting in the side of the parking lot.

“oh my god you’re dating Mark?!”

HaYoon had Yizhuo clinging on her as soon as she opened the door, JiMin keeping an straight face along with the manager, both behind the maknae on top of her.

“Ning, let’s see if there’s some new words we can learn” Aeri talked to the girl as if she was talking to a preschooler but the dense feeling of the manager burning in rage needed some soft treatment to not make it explode.

“were you with him just now?!” the manager almost yelled making HaYoon and JiMin gasp.

“who?”

JiMin took her phone out to pass it to her, a bunch of dispatch news displayed but the most recent said…

“i was just with YeRim! i swear!” she almost threw the phone when raised her arms in innocence.

JiMin and the manager raised and eyebrow “those are old pictures, we were on high school or something he never even kissed me properly!”

“well if it’s not that serious you can fix it” the manager said after a long silence and HaYoon almost begging they to believe her.

“fix what?” MinJeong arrived to the dorm as the manager left to her room and Yizhuo and Aeri came running to the living room where was HaYoon dramatically laying on the ground.

“fix the dating problem” JiMin said as if it was funny causing the other four girls to scream, only one out of frustration.

“but are you and him dating?” Yizhuo asked again.

“we did almost five or six years ago” HaYoon said annoyed “i don’t even remember half of the relationship”

“she said it wasn’t real because they didn’t french kissed” JiMin used her words against her making her huff and the girls screamed again.

facts

officially made her debut as an almost SM artist when she sang along with EXO’s Chen for Descendants of the Sun OST ‘Everytime’ creating an amazing reputation as she was acknowledged to be only 16 at the time.

as æspa’s concept was revealed she was pointed in many theories as Nævis for her looks, later being denied by SM, saying she was taking part in the history as hero as the other girls.

fans thought she had some family business with EXO’s BaekHyun as they share last name, SM denied the rumor and then herself came out to say she is a huge fan of them and that she’d always root for BaekHyun as her bias.

she auditioned at SM cause she attended to Shinee’s concert and ‘bawled her eyes out’ (explicitly as she said) to JongHyun’s ‘Y si fuera ella’ so she wanted to recreate the feeling on others.

Lee Soo Man admitted he knew he wanted her in when one of the staffs told him a 13 year old bravely auditioned with After School song ‘Bang’ rapping and all, then thanking and picking up her lunch box to leave.

She appeared in NCT U’s MV ‘Without you’ and said later it wasn’t uncomfortable as a lot of people think “Sunbaes weren’t weird, they made me feel as their little sister”.

she is close to Red Velvet’s Yeri and said she cried with her mom when her friend debuted, she’s a Reveluv and ever since debut she’s attended to every concert or showcase that the group have held in Seoul.

Fans have suggested her and NCT’s JaeHyun to do a special stage for Valentines as they share birthday on this date.

Fans ofter call her LoveyDovey as a wordplay, sometimes she would name herself Yoonha or for romantization YoungHa, which stands for Dove and Lovey for her birthday on Valentines or Lovers Day.
