𝑨𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒂ྀ || Waiting for Lei Yu 🛩️

Propaganda under cut:

A hand touched my back, right where my heart was. I swallowed hard. [...] “I'm reserving the spot on your back, where your heart is. You cannot give it to anyone else.”

As we walked down the hallway, Sung Hyunjae spoke. “You’re the first person to ever stay the night.” “I’m quite honored.” “Because of that, I’ll need a bit of time to prepare a bedroom. I do maintain the rooms, but they haven’t been slept in for a while.” Just tossing me a blanket would’ve been fine. The sofa was comfortable too. Though the living room was so large that sleeping alone in it would feel a bit lonely… “I’m too tired to wait. [...] Can’t I just share your bedroom?” [...] Sung Hyunjae slowed his pace and looked down at me. “I've never had anyone in my bedroom.” Had he really never dated anyone at his age? He didn’t have the kind of face for that to be the case. Maybe he’d never had a connection deep enough to bring someone home. “If it’s not okay, just leave me here. I’ll find a corner to crash on my own.” “Of course, my item is an exception. Can’t I take it everywhere?”

From this:

"I treasure you quite a lot, Han Yoojin-gun, but." Along with the words slowly spilling out, Sung Hyunjae's grip closed around my neck. Then he lightly pulled me to his side. [...] Without Fear Resistance, the gaze boring into me as if to pierce inside would undoubtedly have given me chills. No, I might've been struck by terror even more than that and avoided it. But I could face him head on without a tremble. It wasn't normal, but that was why it was a relief. "It's not to the point of giving up part of my body." "Do you really think that way? When it isn't your life, but only an arm and an eye? Sung Hyunjae-ssi, there are still many things I'm hiding." My lips curved in a smile. "So it'll be more fun from now on."

chapter 101: Cursed Contract

To this:

A large figure holding on to me, whose face I couldn't see in detail. If I didn't have Fear Resistance, I'd be scared stiff. "Your eyes." Sung Hyunjae's hand came close as if to touch my eyes. "Is this because of me?" "Technically speaking, it is. I'll recover as I did before, you don't need to worry." "I don't think you can see at all." I don't like having a debt like this, Sung Hyunjae murmured. Still, it was better than Chief Song-nim giving his life. "Take my right eye." "Excuse me?" "Since I've already staked it once." [...] "I'll leave the left eye to the young master." "I mean, why is our Yoohyun-ie even come up here?" "Because if I kept you all for myself, he'd undoubtedly be angry. The young master will be happy to do for you." That... um, I thought he actually would, so I was even more freaked out. I pushed Sung Hyunjae, sitting upright. [...] "There's no need. I'm started to be able to detect light, and even if I can't see forever, other's eyes... uh, I won't need them. I'll just get a monster to be my eyes and raise them." Even now, using the Teacher's skill wasn't that inconvenient. "Besides, if you lose one of your eyes, won't your combat ability diminished? Why would you take such a loss because of me?" "If I had to choose, I'd choose you, Han Yoojin-gun."

Gege... When I catch you Gege...

look at my crime lord dawg im going to jail 😭😭

And here's a reason for hope: the fundraiser is blasting away. They just made $50,000 in the past 3 days - let's keep it going!

"Wait, hold on, I don't know what's going on here"

What's the UNRWA?

"The U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, known as UNRWA, employs thousands of staffers and provides vital aid and services to millions of people across the Middle East. In Gaza, it has been the main supplier of food, water and shelter to civilians during the Israel-Hamas war."

-via PBS, January 29, 2024

If their funding is from the UN and various countries, what's up with this fundraiser?

A massive amount of UNRWA's budget was just cut in the middle of a humanitarian crisis, as the US and a number of other countries cut off aid to UNRWA completely.

Gift piece for @llisona! I love the idea that Jason didn't get those scars from an autopsy, but rather, somewhere else
