"If she doesn't wanna tell th' story, don't do it for her. Tha's rude, an' you know better."

"But- but-"

"But nothin'. You respect consent or you leave my 'ouse."

Serenas seemed almost to deflate. "Yes dad."

Leon's mind was a cruel thing, taking those two simple words--an obvious slip of the tongue, but he'd heard them all the same--and running with them as far as it could go in the sleeping hours it had. A life he had never had, and would never have, with Serenas and with her mother, gave him a wonderful rest, full of love and pride and comfort and contentment, but a miserable wakeup.

Mei can choose a song for Serenas! (@serenas-dawnsinger )

"Here." She hands her a vinyl. "I think you'll enjoy this."

Favorite Line: “I just need everyone, and then some.” 

 Why I Like It: This song is one that I relate to. That feeling of not needing anyone, but wanting everyone. Even people who are strong and independent need someone they can lean on. I’ve always felt like I could stand on my own, but standing alone gets lonely.

Taemin / Kai x OC pairing 1.168 words by Serena

Summary: The promise to her childhood friend Lee Taemin made Soojin choose the life of an idol. Only so she could meet him again. Had she known how things would turn out in the end, would she have proceeded to become an idol? Possibly. Because, for some reason, she found herself doing everything for him. Because with that odd feeling in Soojin’s stomach, who was she to say no to his request? Little did she know he was doing everything for her and more just as well. Even things that best friends usually don’t do. Because with that odd feeling in Taemin’s stomach, who was he to say no to her request? And of course, if she hadn’t become an idol, she wouldn’t have met Kai.

By the time the performance was over and even afterwards that lingering feeling of excitement roamed through her veins like electricity.

Soojin had the brightest smile on her face when she excited the stage and backstage area. Once she set foot on the well-lighted corridor she stopped, holding herself up on the wall. “Here”, Ha-Joon handed Soojin her phone. “I’ll get going already. Getting everyone ready to leave.” “Okay”, Soojin said while she took one heel off, quickly followed by the other. The hem of the dress was lifted up and held in between the fingers that now wrapped around the heels of the shoes.

At this moment Kim Jongin noticed the girl standing across the corridor, closing her eyes in relieve when she stood barefoot on the ground. He furrowed his brows, his eyes narrowed. He knew her but he couldn’t pinpoint from where.

Baekhyun hadn’t noticed the absent mind of his opponent, their discussion long uncared for to Jongin. Kyungsoo was the one noticing Jongin’s gaze who had stood by them in silence until now. “What are you looking at?”, he asked full of curiosity. With a swift turn he saw not what but who Jongin was staring at so absentmindedly. “Isn’t that your friend, Sehun?”, Kyungsoo asked, nudging the young boy on the shoulder. Thereupon Sehun turned around as well, watching what they’ve been watching. “Yeah, that’s Soojin”, he nodded. “We go to school together.” “I’ve seen her music video last week”, Kyungsoo said.

Suddenly the girl’s head shot up. She felt too many eyes on her not to take a look. The rookie immediately recognized the bunch. The second she laid eyes on Jongin her heartbeat quickened. Her breath got stuck in her throat. She couldn’t move, yet alone pass them.

Kyungsoo “I can get her number for you.” “No!” Jongin’s eyes were on his at an instant. His ears red, his cheeks flushed. “Don’t fool me, man, I know that look. You’re attracted to her.” If there was any chance his cheeks would turn a deeper shade of red, this was the second it would have happened. “I just- no, I just looked at her. I mean, yeah she’s pretty but I- I don’t know her. I don’t … and I’ve never met her so it’s uncalled for.” “Actually”, Sehun said, “you did.” Kyungsoo grinned. “See.” “When did I?” Jongin asked. Indeed, he felt like he had. She just looked too familiar. “Like three months ago. When you picked me up from school.”

Oh. Right.
