REALLY Good Friends

REALLY Good Friends

C.(S). DPR Live x F.Reader + a lil bit of Scott and Ian | WC. 1669 | G. Fluff + Tiniest bit of angst | Prompt. Can u write for dpr about how ur a really good friend of him, and everyone thinks u guys should be together, but u and dabin just never discussed it and so it startssss

*Flashback*

You and Live were just chilling at Subway, during one of his breaks, discussing which sub toppings were the best, but to everyone else, you two were in a full on heated argument. 

   “I said it once and I’m gonna say it again, olives on subs are gross af”, you huffed. 

   “Just because you’re an olive hater doesn’t mean you’re right”, argued Live. 

   “Ask anybody and they’ll say olives taste gross, ESPECIALLY on subs”.

While you two continued to argue, one of Live’s co-workers came out from the back to see who and what was causing a ruckus in the shop. You knew most of his co-workers, as you came by often, but this particular girl was new and never met you, which would explain why she said what she did. 

   “Oh, Dabin I didn’t know you had a girlfriend, she’s quite pretty” she remarked. 

As soon as the words left her mouth you nearly choked on your drink. Live patted your back to help you out, slightly chuckling. You threw him another glare and quickly cleared up the confusion. 

   “Ummm, I’m not his girlfriend, just his best-friend who happens to be a girl”, you explained awkwardly. 

You and the girl made some awkward eye contact before she laughed slightly and apologized for the misunderstanding. The whole fiasco left you red with embarrassment and Live just laughed at your expense.

*Present*

You crack up remembering that day. After that delicate encounter, you and that girl were always super awkward with each other, hoping to avoid each other whenever possible. You wished that was the first and last time people mistook you and Live as a couple, but luck never worked in your favour. It happened constantly with even your friends purposely teasing the two of at any given time. You had never fully seen Live in that way, to you, he remained your best friend who just so happened to be a guy; your brother from another mother, a lad from another dad, closest guy friend, you never thought of him as a boyfriend — right?. You were almost 99.99% sure Live felt the same way and only saw you as a sister, yet little did you know, the thought of dating you crossed his mind pretty often. At first he also thought it was stupid when everyone mistook as you as a couple, however, the more he dwelled on subject, the more he understood it from a different perspective. The two of you understood one another without needing to say anything, but also the bond and chemistry between you was undeniable. Christian had even thought of casting you in one the videos as Live’s love interest but you always laughed it off, which to admit, deep down kind of stung. You both lay in your beds wondering how it would be to become an actual couple. As amazing and loyal Live was, you didn’t want to risk your entire friendship if it didn’t work out between you. Deciding to dwell on it another day, you close your eyes hoping to catch some sleep.

*A Few Weeks Later*

Live had a show on tonight, so you being the amazing friend you were, decided to go and support him. Arriving at the club you showed the bouncer your invitation and he escorted you to the VIP area where you were greeted oh so enthusiastically by the DPR crew. 

   “Well damn you look great!” remarked Scott

   “Oh dang he’s right, you sure you aren’t here to impress a certain someone?”, added Christian with a wink. 

You rolled your eyes, there it was, the neverending teasing, luckily Live saved you just in time.

    “Leave her be guys, she dressed up for herself not some guy” defended Live

Always a gentleman you thought, though you couldn’t deny the comment made blush slightly. 

You two conversed until he moved around to talk to some other artists. You sipped your drink and observed everyone. The staff and the boys were busy preparing for the performance while Live joked around with a group of girls. You continued to watch him laugh, talk, and then laugh again as some girls put their hands on his bicep and move closer. There was something wrong, why were they laughing so much? Why did those girls keep touching him?, didn’t he have to get ready for his performance? So why was he still standing there?

Without thinking you walked over and pulled slightly on his arm. 

   “Live it’s almost time for your performance” you spoke urging him to move away. 

He did have to go but he wanted to spend a bit of time annoying you

    “Yea, yea I’ll be there in a bit” he replied, turning back to laugh at something else one of the girls remarked. 

For a few minutes you two continued this small banter until one of the girls told you off

   “You really have to go now” 

   “He said he’ll be there in a bit, so just give him some space” she retorted. 

Hurt, you retracted your arm and walked away without another word. You ordered another drink and went to find a comfortable seat. 15 minutes later the host announced it was Live’s time to perform, as he got on stage he looked around for you hoping to catch your eye. The club was a little dark and the fact that you had on dark clothes didn’t help either, nonetheless he continued to look for you. 

He started his first set with To Myself, then followed by Know Me and Laputa, all the while hoping to catch you before a big reveal. You were seated off the side, almost hidden, quietly sipping your drink; the 3rd drink of the night that is. You bobbed along to the songs while letting the alcohol do its magic. Suddenly the stage lights dimmed and changed to a purple glow, with a soft instrumental playing in the background, Live began to speak. 

   “This song is dedicated to an extremely special person, they have been with me for a long time. They are one of my biggest supporters, after my mom of course.” everyone laughed, even you. He continued, 

   “I feel at peace and comfortable being around them so at first I thought of them like a sibling and my best friend, but for a while my feelings towards them have changed. They probably don’t know this but they are one of my biggest muses and inspiration behind my songs and stories. I’ve already said a lot so I’ll stop now, but that person is here tonight so I hope they pay close attention to the lyrics of this new song. Please enjoy my new single Jasmine”. 

He finished his mini speech, the previous instrumental started and he began to sing.

“You know I can paint the world

Sitting there in black and gold

You’re the perfect chemical

I gotta test I gotta know

You know I’m no criminal

But I could take your heart and go

You’re the perfect chemical

I gotta test I gotta gotta”

Half of you felt giddy and happiness inside but the other half was confused and worried. Was Live even talking about you?

You thought back to his words, there weren’t any other girls he had known longer than you or that you knew of. He always said how you were like a sister he never had and one of his best friends, but lately he hadn't even uttered those words to you or about you. If he really did have feelings for you, did you have any for him?. Earlier this evening you were jealous with the attention he got from those girls and how they kept touching and laughing with him. Tonight wasn’t the first time you felt this way, whenever you two went out and he pointed out a cute girl without fail there was almost a small ache in your heart hearing him talk about other women. Opposite of that, you couldn’t help the flutter and burst of happiness in your heart whenever he did something silly or complimented you. “Oh shit”, was all you thought, you DID like him.

Until now the only thing stopping you from confessing or actually acknowledging your feelings was losing the friendship but now that he indirectly confessed, to hell with fear you thought. You were pulled out of your thoughts when the song stopped playing and a spotlight shone on you.

   “Hey Y/n!” Live sang. 

Looking up, your eyes adjusting to the light, you made eye contact with Live and there it was, the flutter. 

The boys motioned you to come up and without a second thought your legs started to walk towards the stage. You finally reached, but before you could go up onto the stage, Live came down. 

You two stared at each other, just blushing for god knows how long until Scott finally yelled at you two, 

   “For my sake please just kiss already!!!” he shouted from backstage. 

The crowd was laughing and cheering the two of you. He rubbed the back of neck and shyly approached you, taking your hands in his. Leaning his forehead on yours he whispered,

    “Can I kiss you?” 

You nodded and shut your eyes, feeling his lips meet yours. 

The flutter in your heart turned into fireworks and the butterflies in your stomach were uncontrollable but in a pleasant way. You two finally pulled apart for a breath of air, breathlessly he gently asked, 

   “Will you be my Jasmine?” flashing you a charming smile. 

You pretending to ponder over his question and saw the smile start to drop the longer you stayed quiet. Smirking, you hugged him in the tightest grip you could muster up. The crowd and DPR crew cheered for the both of you and once again Jasmine started to play on the speakers. This time even you sang along but in the comfort of Live’s arms where he didn’t let you go for the remainder of the night, not that you were complaining. Maybe everyone was right, you two were a good couple and definitely more than friends.

Why Commenting On FanFiction Is Important

Alright kids, Boo here with a hopefully non-arrogant PSA.

I’m a writer of FanFiction because I like it and it’s my preferred genre (also a great way to receive feedback on writing that I can use on originals, bref). But like with most artistic work posted online, I have very little feedback.

When I was in a slightly writing rut, I cranked one shots left and right, nothing out of the ordinary. But instead of people commenting with their thoughts and good feedback, they just gave me requests.

I don’t think I could ever put into words what that felt like, but I’ll try (the irony of being a writer). It suddenly felt tiring, being a writer, and very quickly I stopped writing altogether. I only ever showed my friend what I wrote and left it at that. I haven’t published anything for a while after. It felt like people were treating me like a mule wanting me to do work for them, and I just wasn’t up for that. I lost my will to write, and then I began to think, “If I post something else other than what was requested, will people even read it?”

Then you get the infamous comments, “You haven’t forgotten about my request right??? Here’s another.”

That just adds anxiety and guilt. I’m purposely ignoring the comments to save my own uncreative ass, at least that’s what it feels like.

After weeks of convincing myself that my stories are worth sharing no matter how many people read them, I started writing and publishing again while working on some longer pieces. Slowly it got better.

Now this week, I remembered I joined another fanfiction platform, and realized I had never published anything on it. I had an idea, and so I started writing. It didn’t come out as I imagined it would, but I was so proud? Like, I started feeling happy about what I created again. Like genuine happiness that I haven’t felt in months since my last published work.

A few hours later, I get this comment:

I cranked out three 3k stories after reading this.

In four days.

It never happened before, and I don’t know how many times it will happen again. It was one comment, but it gave me so much fighting spirit that I think I’m on my way to regaining my initial writer mindset.

Fanfiction writers depend on feedback as a validation that their stories matter to people. If you’re wondering why your favourite author hasn’t updated/posted in a while, ask yourself, “Did I do everything that would convince them to continue writing this?”

Find My Love

C.(S). Shownu x Reader + I.M and Joohoney | WC. 898 | G. Fluff | Request. Hi! May I request for a MX fluff scenario (any member of your choice) where the boys receive a love confession through a scavenger hunt of sorts? Please and thanks. ^^

“Just confess to him, I’m sure he’ll accept your feelings,” said a very frustrated I.M.

For the past 2 hours he and Jooheon tried to convince you to confess to Shownu.

Lord knows how many times you explained to them his killer smile, his cute laugh, and well his body.

“It’s not as easy as it seems, what if he just laughs at me, and if he rejects me, not only will I make a fool of myself I’ll also lose my best friend.” You explained. You tried to imagine that scenario, but the image put a pout to your face. “I’ll just die alone”. You concluded face planting onto the couch.

Both boys pitied you, for the longest time you had hidden your feelings for Shownu in hopes that maybe he would like you back and little did you know that he too was crushing on you, but like you, was scared to confess. Sometimes Jooheon wanted to lock you guys together until one of you confessed, how on earth two people could be so clueless was beyond him. I.M being equally frustrated at the crushing couple thought out a flawless plan.

“What if you confess but don’t be face to face while confessing?” questioned I.M.

You lifted you head from the couch to stare at I.M suspiciously.

“Seems too good to be true” you answered.

“Hear me out, instead of telling him your feelings you can show him your feelings, by sending him on a scavenger hunt with all the items being things that you like about him!” Inquired I.M.

You thought over than plan, it did seem like an easier way to confess and not totally embarrass yourself.

“Let’s do it!”.

All three of you got to work brainstorming ideas.

~1 week later~

During the past week Y/N, Jooheon and I.M had thought up where, when and how to set up the scavenger hunt. There was a quiet park where Y/N and Shownu often hung out that would be the last destination of the scavenger hunt while the café down the street from Shownu’s apartment would be the first.  

Finally, the day arrived where Y/N would “confess” to Shownu, she dressed up in an off-shoulder, baby blue dress with white flats, minimal makeup and her hair open. Before leaving she messaged Shownu to meet in the café near his house. Leaving the house she smiled in content thinking about seeing him.

Shownu arrived at the café soon after Y/N’s text, seating at their usual table he ordered some tea as he waited. Looking around, he casually glanced at the door from time to time anxiously waiting for his crush to arrive.

Truth being he was hoping for today to be the day he told y/n about his feelings, he too had been crushing on her for the longest time and now that she was taking the longest time arriving it was slowly agonizing him.

Just as he was about to call her, the waiter brought over his tea along with a note. He read over the note, fumbling in his pocket he searched for some cash, placed it on the table and exited the café. As he rushed to the location Y/N  had written for them to meet, there he ran into Jooheon who handed him another note but this time the note included a trait which Y/N  liked about him. Just like this note the next four notes changed the meet up location and listed a reason Y/N liked him. Finally, he reached the last location, a quiet park where he and y/n would often hang out for a much-needed break from their hectic lives. As he walked closer to the lake side of the park he was met by Jooheon and I.M.

“What are you two doing here? Do I need to go somewhere else?” he questioned.

“No hyung, this is the last place” announced I.M.

“Since you’ve read all the notes you probably also figured out that Y/N has feelings for you” started Jooheon.

“We know that you also have feelings for Y/N but like her were too afraid to confess, so we devised a plan where you both could confess” finished I.M.

Right on cue Y/N came out from her hiding spot holding a small sign. Moving past the boys he walked towards Y/N until the stood arm’s length apart.

She quietly whispered “read the sign”, he grinned and looked down to read the sign. 

“Hey Shownu, I was too afraid to say how I felt so the boys helped me show my feelings, I hope you can accept my feelings.” His grin changed to a smile which spread all the way to his ears.

He looked Y/N in the eyes “I like you too” he confessed. Both love birds stood smiling at each other too shy and shocked to move,

“Kiss her already” yelled I.M, “Couples” he scoffed.

Shownu caressed Y/N’s cheeks before moving in to kiss her softly. He moved his hands from her cheeks to her waist as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Pulling away they rested their foreheads together smiling and blushing at one another. The moment which had been long awaited was too beautiful to ruin with words, so Shownu and Y/N just cherished being in the embrace of one another, guess it’s true what they say the fruit of patience is sweeter.

Three Months Later

In the deep quiet hour of the night, Belles’ stomach jolted her awake to a dark room. For a moment, when her bearings were not quite right, fear settled as if she transported to a strange place. Quickly turning her gaze there laid Jungkook with his back facing up and an arm around her torso. For the first time she let out a sigh of relief seeing the man’s face knowing that her location was at least familiar.
