@theotherwhybietoldmeso @hyperbolicgrinch (Happy Saturday, girlies!)

So I really should be sleeping rn but I'm currently reading a manhwa called Mr. Baek and it's fucking got me hooked so...no sleep. At least not rn. But I will...eventually. Anyways. So, remember that Junchun fic that I had, Touch Within the Abyss? Yeah, so I decided to scrap it and write a new fic...still Junchun and still mafia. And who knows, maybe I'll go back and write that other fic...maybe one day. But anyways, please enjoy a snippet from the new Junchun fic A Thousand Cranes

Meanwhile, in a nearby apartment, the young man who had witnessed the bloody mess Zhan Junbai had created stood in the bathroom and clutched at the sink so tightly that his knuckles were white, his complexion pale as he looked at himself in the mirror.          ‘That wasn’t…that wasn’t real, right?  I didn’t…I didn’t just see all of that blood in the alley way and a man standing there with a bloody knife in his hands…right?’ he asked.  His reflection, however, just stared right back at him, making him sigh heavily as he hung his head.          “They’re going to come after me…I just know they are” he murmured, just as there was a knock on the bathroom door, making him turn to see a young girl, around high school age, looking at him in concern.          “Ge?  Are you okay?  Are you sick?” she asked.  The young man, Yu Tangchun, smiled softly as he shook his head.          “No, A-ning.  I’m alright” he assured, just as the girl, Yuan Zining, walked over to him and looked him up and down.          “Are you sure?  Your face is pale” she stated.  Tangchun smiled softly.          “I’m just…tired.  It was a long night, that’s all” he explained.  Zining nodded.          “Right, you were performing for a large party tonight, right?  Did it go well?” she asked.  Tangchun laughed.          “Yes, it did” he replied before he looked at her and frowned.          “What are you doing up so late?  Shouldn’t you be sleeping?” he asked.  Zining nodded.          “Yeah, but…I was waiting for you to come home” she replied, making Tangchun look at her fondly before he reached out and gently ruffled her hair.          “Silly girl…you need your sleep.  I’m home now, so go to sleep, okay?” he instructed.  Zining nodded.          “Okay” she agreed before she turned and made her way to the door, only to pause and looked back at him.          “Ge?” she started.  Tangchun raised an eyebrow.          “Hm?” he replied.  Zining looked him in the eyes.          “You’d tell me if something was wrong, right?” she asked.  Tangchun blinked before he laughed softly and nodded.          “Of course I would.  Now, go to sleep” he instructed. 

JunChun - modern/entertainment industry AU

Actor and performer Yu Tangchun needs money to pay for his medical bills, and thus works himself to the ground by going on small gigs to bars and parties, while at the same time taking on small acting roles in various small-scale film productions. His health deteriorates the longer he goes on without taking any breaks, but he fears that the company that he signed his contract with will let him go if they realise that he would cost them more money with his poor health. After all, the entertainment company that he works for, Pear Garden Entertainment, is a small, and fairly unknown company, so they would not keep an actor like Yu Tangchun, who is mostly known for his good looks and voice.

One morning he gets a call from his agent. The company has successfully landed him a supporting role in a high-budget production. The up-coming and highly anticipated series is starring a few very popular A-list celebrities, so this might be Yu Tangchun and Pear Garden’s breakthrough moment. Yu Tangchun accepts the job and is temporarily transferred over to East Wind Entertainment, a multimillion entertainment industry conglomerate owned by the Zhan Group.

On his first day on-set, Yu Tangchun helps Yuan Zining get to the filming location due to a mishap with the communication between the transportation team and the company staff. They meet up with the rest of the crew together, garnering a bit of publicity once a few photos are purposely leaked to the public by production. New fans quickly discover Yu Tangchun because of his striking looks and it doesn’t take long before they start shipping him with Yuan Zining. This eventually blows up and their interactions land on the top trending list. Yuan Zining, who plays the main female lead, is already shipped with her co-star by her large fanbase, so a storm is stirred up online. Fans of both the two A-list stars start trying to bring Yu Tangchun down.

It starts with accusations of Yu Tangchun clinging onto Yuan Zining for the fame. Production fan the flames by filming more behind-the-scenes of the two together, because any publicity is good publicity for the up-coming drama. It then escalates to Yu Tangchun being talentless and unworthy of his role because he only landed it due to his face and because he sought favours with the production team. Yu Tangchun continues working hard, ignoring the talk online like his agent advised him. His deteriorating health start showing on his body and antis begin circulating rumours of substance abuse. This is where production looses their control over the flow of publicity. Then finally a few months in, everything backfires; the top rumour becomes that Yu Tangchun slept with the chairman of the Zhan Group, Zhan Tianqing.

The rumour was spread by an anti who claimed to know some of the higher-ups of East Wind. Since this was a serious act of defamation against both Yu Tangchun and East Wind, the matter was not to be taken lightly.

The scandal drew the attention of the old chairman who quickly got annoyed by the commotion it was stirring up. Zhan Tianqing ordered his nephew Zhan Junbai, the current director of East Wind, to solve everything as fast as possible as he actually had a few skeletons in the closet regarding similar matters.

@hyperbolicgrinch @theotherwhybietoldmeso (hi besties!)

So it's been a hell of a week and honestly I've been reading more manga than working on my wips, HOWEVER! I have been working on my Junchun fic A Thousand Cranes and I'm happy with what I've got so far, so please enjoy a little snippet from it!

A little while later, they arrived at Yu Tangchun’s apartment building, Yu Tangchun quickly stepping out before he turned and bowed to Zhan Junbai.             “Thank you for bringing me home” he thanked.  Zhan Junbai nodded.             “Of course.  See you tomorrow” he replied.  Yu Tangchun bowed again.             “Yes.  Goodnight” he bid before he turned and rushed over to his apartment, quickly unlocking the door before he pushed it open and stepped inside.             “A-ning!  I’m home!” he called out.  However, when he didn’t get a response nor did he hear the pounding of feet running towards him, he frowned and stepped further inside, looking around.             “A-ning?” he repeated.  When there was no answer, Yu Tangchun’s eyes widened and he made a beeline for Zining’s bedroom, quickly throwing open the door only to find it empty.             “Zining?  Where—” he started just as Zhan Junbai appeared behind him.             “Is everything alright?” he inquired.  Yu Tangchun jumped and quickly turned to face him.             “O-Oh.  It’s you” he breathed before he cleared his throat.             “I’m sorry, it’s my sister.  She didn’t come to greet me, so I’m worried something happened to her” he explained.  Zhan Junbai hummed and looked around the apartment before he shook his head.             “It doesn’t look like anyone has tried to break in…have you checked everywhere?” he inquired.  Yu Tangchun pointed to the bedroom behind him.             “I was just about to check my bedroom” he replied.  Zhan Junbai hummed.             “Let’s go check then, shall we?” he suggested.  Yu Tangchun nodded and quietly slipped past him towards his room before he opened the door and stepped inside, only to pause and let out a sigh of relief at the sight of Zining passed out on his bed, her chest rising and falling evenly.             “Thank God” he murmured, just as Zhan Junbai appeared behind him.             “I take it you found her then?” he asked.  Yu Tangchun looked over at him and nodded.             “Yes, I did” he replied before he frowned.             “I don’t mean to be rude, but…why are you here?” he inquired.  Zhan Junbai chuckled.             “Well, I was going to leave after making sure you got in safely, but when the expression on your face changed and you suddenly rushed inside, I figured something was wrong so I wanted to make sure everything was alright” he explained.

@theotherwhybietoldmeso @hyperbolicgrinch (Happy Monday!)

So, I know it's not the weekend but since I missed the weekend (I've been very busy these past couple of days) I really wanted to post something so here we are (isn't the name clever?)! Please enjoy this snippet from A Thousand Cranes

Later that morning, in his office on the top floor of the tallest building in Jing City, Zhan Junbai was going through reports when Jiang Yuelou stepped into his office and walked over to him.          “You’re so fucking lucky I like you because if anyone else had asked this of me, I’d have fucking told them to fuck off” he stated before he threw a file down in front of him, making him raise an eyebrow as he picked up the file.          “And good morning to you too, Jiang-xiong.  What's this?” he asked.  Jiang Yuelou huffed.          “The file on the guy who you said witnessed your…handiwork this morning” he stated, making Zhan Junbai look at him in surprise.          “You found him already?” he asked.  Jiang Yuelou grinned.          “I’m good at what I do, Zhan-xiong” he replied before he pointed to the file and sighed.          “Kid’s got a hell of a mountain of debt…no fault of his own, of course, looks like his old man got himself into some trouble with the loan sharks and dipped.  Mom passed when he was young, so it’s just him and his little sister” he explained before he looked at him.          “Turns out, he’s actually a singer at one of the lounges you own” he stated, making Zhan Junbai look at him in surprise.          “A singer?” he repeated.  Jiang Yuelou nodded.          “And apparently a very good one too.  Manager says he’s the reason a lot of the patrons keep coming back” he explained.  Zhan Junbai hummed as he stared at the young man’s file.          “Are the loan sharks still after him?” he inquired.  Jiang Yuelou hummed.          “Not that I know of, but I don’t think the kid even knows that he has that much debt.  If they haven’t come knocking yet, they will soon” he stated, making Zhan Junbai hum softly as he continued to look at Yu Tangchun’s photo in his file before he sighed heavily.          “Take care of him by tonight and send me the report” he instructed.  Jiang Yuelou nodded.          “You got it, boss” he replied, just as a thought hit him.          “Oh, by the way, Yuzhi said that he has some free time right now, so go ahead and see him when you’ve got the chance” he instructed.  Zhan Junbai nodded.          “Alright.  Thank you” he thanked.  Jiang Yuelou hummed and nodded before he turned and made his way towards the door, just as Zhan Junbai looked at him.          “Jiang Yuelou” he called out.  Jiang Yuelou turned to look at him.          “Hm?” he replied.          “Make sure you do it where his sister won’t find him.  I don’t want her to see that” Zhan Junbai instructed, making Jiang Yuelou look at him for a moment before he chuckled softly.          “Always the softy for kids, Zhan-xiong” he teased before he nodded.          “Alright.  You have my word” he declared.  Zhan Junbai nodded.          “Thank you” he thanked.

You know what, fuck it, I'm up early anyways, so here's Sunday's WWEC snippet from A Thousand Cranes (Also, remember how I said I might work on Touch Within the Abyss again? Yeah, well, I figured out how I'm gonna rework it so look forward to that whenever I get around to it...after I complete at least one of my multiple fucking multi-chapter fics...anyways)

         “How’s the ringing in your ears?” a young doctor, Jiang Yuelou’s husband, Dr. Chen Yuzhi, asked as he sat before Zhan Junbai in a private conference room.  Zhan Junbai sighed.          “Ringing as usual” he replied.  Chen Yuzhi hummed.          “And I suppose you’re still experiencing insomnia and headaches?” he guessed.  Zhan Junbai smiled.          “Right you are, Dr. Chen” he replied.  Chen Yuzhi hummed again as he made a note on his clipboard before he looked at him again.          “Are you still taking the medicine I prescribed?” he inquired.  Zhan Junbai sighed.          “Yes, yes, but it’s not helping, clearly.  Can’t you prescribe a higher dosage?” he asked.  Chen Yuzhi sighed.          “You’re already taking a pretty high dose, Executive.  Anything higher might result in some pretty serious lasting neurological damage” he warned, just as Zhan Junbai hummed.          “Not like I don’t already have lasting neurological damage” he grumbled.  Chen Yuzhi fixed him with a look.          “Executive” he scolded.  Zhan Junbai laughed and waved his hand.          “Sorry, sorry” he apologized, making Chen Yuzhi sigh heavily before he looked at him.          “I have to ask this but…do you experience less pain when you’re not working?” he asked.  Zhan Junbai scoffed.          “Come now, Dr. Chen, when am I ever not working?” he sneered.  Chen Yuzhi sighed.          “I know…it feels like I hardly ever seen Jiang Yuelou anymore” he murmured, making Zhan Junbai look at him before he smiled apologetically.          “I’m sorry.  Hopefully I’ll be able to give him some vacation time so that you’re able to spend it together” he stated, making Chen Yuzhi smile slightly.          “You’re too kind, Executive” he replied before he cleared his throat.          “Now, what was the most memorable moment as of recently?” he inquired.  Zhan Junbai hummed.          “Today” he declared.  Chen Yuzhi raised an eyebrow.          “Oh?  Did something happen?” he inquired.  Zhan Junbai sighed.          “A boy…witnessed my work today” he replied.  Chen Yuzhi blinked.          “A boy?” he repeated.          “Young man, actually” Zhan Junbai corrected.  Chen Yuzhi hummed.          “I see.  And what did you feel in that moment when you realized what he had seen?” he inquired.  Zhan Junbai sighed.          “I didn’t…I don’t feel anything.  And I haven’t…for a long time” he replied, making Chen Yuzhi hum softly before he looked at him.          “But surely you must have felt something.  Anything, even if it’s small” he stated, making Zhan Junbai hum and think back to when he saw Yu Tangchun standing at the entrance of the alley before he shook his head.          “No.  Sorry” he apologized.  Chen Yuzhi smiled and shook his head.          “No need to apologize.  I just figured I would ask.  Sometimes people just need a little nudge before they admit what they’re truly feeling, you know?” he explained.  Zhan Junbai smiled.          “And this is why you’re the best” he praised, making Chen Yuzhi laugh and wave his hand.          “No, no…I’m just doing my job” he replied before he pushed himself to his feet and cleared his throat.          “I’ll try and prescribe you a different medication to see if it helps, so please take it when you get it” he instructed.  Zhan Junbai nodded.          “Of course” he replied, just as a thought hit him.          “Oh, Dr. Chen” he started, making Chen Yuzhi look at him.          “Hm?” he replied.  Zhan Junbai smirked.          “When you see Chu Ran, tell her I said “hello”” he instructed, making Chen Yuzhi’s eyes widen before he smirked.          “I have no idea what you’re talking about, Executive” he replied before he turned and headed out of the room, Zhan Junbai letting out a soft chuckle as he shook his head before he leaned back in his chair and let out a soft sigh, letting the warmth of the sun shining through the large windows wash over him.

Of course no one would harm him, we all know you’d go feral attack dog and kill them (as we all remember what happened when that tailor stabbed him)

Because that is exactly what it is
