Brushes And Beats chapter:01
pairing: JiminxReader
genre: fluff with a pinch of angst
trope: enemies to lovers
:That awkward moment when your nemesis tell you something that is right for you but you are too proud to take their advice:
In the glamorous world of music and entertainment, unexpected romances often take center stage. Behind the scenes, amidst the dazzling lights and flamboyant costumes, all kinds of story unfolds and I get to witness it all as a makeup artist. Every day, I had the privilege of working closely with some of the biggest stars in the industry. With my brushes in hand and an eye for detail, I would transform their faces into works of art, enhancing their natural beauty and showcasing their unique personalities on the stage and screen.
One particular pop star caught my attention from the start - a charismatic and talented individual who commanded the stage with his powerful voice and captivating performances. Little did I know that this pop star would become more than just a client, but also my nemesis. His name, Park Jimin - a renowned artist known for his remarkable talent and uncompromising attitude.
As a makeup artist, my job was to make him look flawless and ready to face the world. I pushed aside any personal feelings I had about Park and focused solely on my work, determined to provide him with the best makeup artistry possible. BUT BOY WAS HE ANNOYING with his diva-like demands and perfectionist tendencies! "It needs to be closely matched with the stage lighting and my costume," he would insist, nitpicking every small detail. Though I was fuming on the inside, I maintained my professional demeanor and ensured that his makeup was always on point.
"Oh the great Park Jimin" Fumi my work bestie passes the coffee to me as we take a break from the chaos backstage. I chuckled, knowing she shared my frustrations with the demanding pop star. "Tell me about it! It's like he expects me to read his mind and anticipate every little thing he wants". "But you know what they say, there's a thin line between love and hate," she said with a mischievous twinkle in her eyes.
I couldn't help but scoff at her suggestion. "He's my nemesis, Fumi! How could I possibly fall in love with someone who constantly challenges and tests my patience?" I dismissed her words, choosing to believe that our relationship would remain strictly professional.
"COSTUME CHANGE!!" I rushed back to my station, readying myself for another round of makeup touch-ups. As Jimin sat in my chair, I couldn't help but notice a subtle change in his demeanor. His usually confident expression seemed slightly softer, and there was a glimmer of vulnerability in his eyes.
Did something happen? I thought as I delicately applied his foundation. Jimin stayed unusually quiet, his gaze focused on his reflection. His quietness was uncharacteristic. Usually, he would use this time to critique the makeup or give his input - it wasn't often that he was so subdued. But today, he was different, quieter, watching my every move with seemingly genuine curiosity. I found my hands shaking slightly as I brushed blush across his high cheekbones, my nerves suddenly getting the best of me and then I saw his smirk with his right eyebrow cocked up. Bastard
"I don't know, don't you think the competition's makeup artists do it better? No offense, of course. You still do a passable job." oooh his tone was a mix of nonchalance and veiled provocation, I wont let him get under my skin. "Interesting, given how perfect your performances always are, I would think you'd notice that my makeup artistry is always uniquely suited to enhancing that. But if you'd prefer a 'passable' job, I'm sure the competition would be glad to have you as their canvas." keep calm...keep calm..."Oh, don't get me wrong. I know a great talent when I see one. After all, I work with the best around, don't I?" IS HE MOCKING ME?!
After a tense moment of silence, I finally snap back at him, fueling the argument with a retort, "Best around, hm? Yet you're always complaining, aren't you? I wonder if being the best includes never being satisfied." Hints of frustration tinge my usually calm voice.
Jimin retorts, "And I wonder if being a makeup artist means disregarding the client's demands. I expect perfection because that's what I give onstage." I was about to snap back when the director of the shoot came back with an excited look "are we done?" I smiled and took a step back "yes, we are". Jimin stands up smoothening his clothes and intentionaly bumping my shoulder as he sneekily winks at me "see you around birdy" . Asshole.
________________________________________________________________________________
Clubbing with Fumi was the best decision i made today, as its a friday night the club is already jam packed. We decided to sit at the bar and order drinks my mind couldn't help but go to the look on Jimin's face today he seemed kinda off. "Earth to Y/n" I realized I was in a daze "I've been calling you for 15mins, what were you thinking?" I shook my head and smiled at her "Nothing really" I laughed while she gave me a side eye "Anyways...Ugh I already feel tired, they said they might be a new face in the company and you know what that means MORE TOURS WHICH LEADS TO MORE FATIGUE AAAAA GOD WHY DID I CHOOSE THIS LINE OF WORK" hearing that reminded me of all kinds tiredness I felt when the artists go on tours and god forbid you are required to go with them but it isn't that bad if you think about it, you get to see new places and make fun memories.
"HEY WANNA DANCE?" Fumi chirped excitedly as she dragged me to the dance floor. "I want to get wasted tonight" Oooohh nooOoooh bad idea "You know we don't have a ride home" I chuckled reminding her we need to stay concious.
________________________________________________________________________________
"Ugh i missed you bed" A sigh escapes my lips well it was a long day of work plus with all the clubbing my brain wasn't braining, my head shifted to the right as i heard a Quack sound, Ugh i know that sound all too well, it was a specific ring set for a specific person, "What does he want now?" i muttered under my breath as I picked up my phone to see the message "Hey birdy", I squint my eyes at the text "What?" I replied back. "a bit rude, do I perhaps need to remind you what happened 6 years ago" I crunch my face in annoyance "I apologized to you at least a 1000 times already"
Jimin replied "AND THE PICTURE STILL CIRCULATES ONLINE" i couldnt help but crack a smile at his reference serves him right I thought to myself "Look I was still new and was still learning" I put down my phone but it buzzes again "Anyways do you have the reference of my outfit yet?" I sighed "not yet, Zara told me take it from the dry cleaners, I'll do it tomorrow" as i continued to type "So you are an errand girl now?" WHAT THE- "Isn't it her resposibility to send it to you" i sighed in fraustration "I don’t want to continue this conversation."
"I’m giving you some good advice here, you should take it. Stop picking up Zara’s dry cleaning—it’s not your job." I roll my eyes at the text, I DO NOT WANT TO ADMIT THAT HE IS RIGHT "Heard you went to a club, not sure if u managed to entice someone with your flirting skills birdy" wtf what does he think he is doing "That’s what people say about you." The unfortunate retort falls out of my mouth.
I try to rewind time. It doesn’t work. "Is that what you think you and I do? Flirt?" I couldn't help but say "Aren't you supposed to be the God of Flirting, thats what your fans call you" I cringe at my text maybe I shouldnt have said that "Birdy, if we were flirting, you’d know about it." I felt a weird drop inside, I smile at Jimin's response and feel a mix of relief and curiosity.
"Oh, really? So you're saying there's nothing going on between us?" I respond playfully, unable to resist teasing him back. Despite our history and the tension that sometimes arises between us, there's always been an undeniable chemistry. But lately, I've been questioning whether it's just playful banter or something more. Not lettiing him say anything I quickly bid him goodnight with my heart thumping in my chest.

Monday came, I have a feeling it will be a nice dayy, my gut never lies.
"hey birdy"
"Birdyyyy"
" Birdy birdyyyy"
"No it doesn't match, I see your skills are going down"
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HE IS BEING SUCH A PAIN IN THE ASS TODAY It seemed like he was determined to annoy me today. And then he added salt to the wound by criticizing my skills. I took a deep breath and reminded myself to keep calm and maintain proffesinalism, I look at the mirror and see him flashing me a mischievious grin, knowing it will rile me up and it did "Jimin, can we please focus on the task at hand? We both have work to do here." I respond calmly, trying my best to maintain my composure. Deep down, though, his teasing still gets under my skin. As the day goes on, I try to avoid engaging with him further. I focus on my tasks and give them my full attention. But every now and then, he finds a way to playfully disrupt my concentration. It's frustrating but also strangely exhilarating.
Finally its time to pack up and head home as I gather my things and prepare to leave the devil shows up with a smirk? "Ready to call it a day?" I dont have a good feeling about this as i can sense that he has something up his sleeves
I raise an eyebrow at himand playfully reply "Oh, are you trying to charm me into staying longer" he chuckels and replies "Maybe I am" my breath hitched for a moment "Well...not working, guess your charms are fading not a good look for a pop-start"
I smirk back, not willing to let him have the upper hand. "Goodbye Mr. Park" I swiftly turn around and make my way out, I stick out my hand in my back pocket for my phone but it's nowhere, "shit " I LEFT IT IN THE MAKE UP ROOM a sense of annoyance washed over me. It seemed like just another opportunity for Jimin to capitalize on my forgetfulness and tease me further.
Taking a deep breath, I reminded myself to stay calm and not let his actions get to me. I walked back towards the makeup room, he was still there, leaning against the wall by the mirror, I tried not to pay attention to him and scaned the room "Looking for this birdy?" I looked at him wiggling my phone in his hand, I took a deep breath and stuck out my hand "phone"
"Give me my phone back, Jimin," I said firmly, trying to maintain my composure despite the frustration building up inside me. He continued to dangle it in front of me with a smug smirk on his face.
"Why so serious, Y/N? Can't you take a little joke?" he teased, enjoying every moment of this power play. I took another deep breath and looked him directly in the eye "You know, i was thinking about last night" I took a step forward while he takes one back. Thats it y/n corner him
"well you know wondering what will it be like, you know...flirting with you" His back against the wall while my right hand was on his side by his arm "Well I think i'll be traumatized" I said twirling my hair "Let me tell you what will happen" I could feel his hand on my waist "You'll be thinking about it later on, lying in bed."
"Been thinking of my bed, have you?" I manage to reply. He blinks, a new rare expression spreading across his face. I want to slap it off. It looks like he knows something I don’t. It’s smug and I hate it. "Jimin, your expression"
He is distracted. "What about it?" Seizing the opportunity I snatch my phone from his clutches "Its filthy" and run away. HAH...dreaming about him NEVER though he looked kinda...hot.

THE FIRST CHAPTER OF BRUSHES AND BEATS IS NOW OUTTT, I HOPE YOU'LL LIKE IT
"I spent some time hanging out with my friends recently! It's nice to just let loose every once in a while and just have a little fun. Apparently it's not 'good for me' if I spend all my time brooding and monsterhunting. Who'd have guessed?"
[OOC] Look!! Me and my friends did a Castlevania photoshoot, something I've dreamt of doing for AGES. Most of the pics turned out delightfully goofy, but these are some of the nicest ones we managed to snap. Enjoy! :D Alucard: Yours truly (Check me out on IG at @ ancestorcosplay for more Alucard cosplay content!) Trevor Belmont: @ anubiss.cos on IG Sypha Belnades: @ nalin.cos on IG Go give my friends some much-deserved love!

Daenerys Targaryen Daenerys has the classical Valyrian look. She has violet eyes, pale skin, and long, pale silver-gold hair. She is said to bear a certain physical resemblance to Queen Naerys Targaryen.
Ohio’s favorite criminal against humanity… doodoodoodoo… The Gravediggress!
Ok, I need to discuss something with you cookie runners…
Affogato’s actions, can’t be defended…
You can come after me all you want, in saying ‘Oh, you’re just saying that because you like Dark Cacao’ No…I’m literally serious. He can’t be defended for his actions, because there’s literally no excuse. Having a rough childhood and backstory, doesn’t excuse his actions, it only makes us understand them.
I’ve seen a lot of people saying that Affogato’s way of leadership is right…
Well you’re wrong…
Because his way of leadership? It will doom the entire Dark Cacao Kingdom.
Case in point:
Affogato, uses the money in the Black Citadel’s vault to buy sweets. Later that same vault is mentioned by Chili Pepper Cookie to be completely empty.
So how much did the sweets cost, and how much did the vault have?
If this is how expensive or even hard it is to get sweets into the Dark Cacao Kingdom, to the point where the bank is LITERALLY EMPTY, then that means either Affogato spent all the money ON SWEETS, or he took the money and left.
Considering he was recruited into the COD seemingly immediately after the events in Dark Cacao Kingdom, I’d say he most likely, SPENT ALL THE MONEY ON SWEETS.
And considering the fact that the Dark Cacao Kingdom is poor, the economy of it and whatever savings Dark Cacao had spared would have been WASTED on sweets if ever they needed supplies from the outside.
You can say they can just sell things or bring in tourists, but that can’t happen…
The Dark Cacao Kingdom is not only poor but lives in a harsh environment. The only thing I believe they are able to sell is clothes.
Food? No, we need them to sustain our subjects save the food and preserve them for later use.
Milk? We need them to sustain ourselves.
Weapons? Who the hell buys weapons other than knights and adventurers? And we need them to defend our lands and arm our soldiers.
Sure it was successful in its economy BEFORE the War, but after when the Coffee Tribe and Licorice Village left or either died? It’s probably having a hard time sustaining it financially.
We also have to remember that the Dark Cacao Kingdom is the exact opposite of the Hollyberry Kingdom. To describe: It is the Raisin Village before Pure Vanilla but on a LARGER scale as it is an entire Kingdom/Nation. They can’t rely on natural resources, they have to hunt, unlike the Hollyberry Kingdom where natural resources are abundant and trade is mostly the income. Hollyberry Kingdom, has the resources available for the kingdom to THRIVE, but the Dark Cacao Kingdom? No…it doesn’t have those resources.
So whatever Plans Affogato had, he will eventually starve his people, because trade is unavailable and hard to the point where they can’t get rich on this. And because the lack of natural resources.
Let’s not forget this: Affogato is willing to banish Dark Cacao’s loyalists away, he isn’t willing to train new soldiers and has decided to just let his loyalists protect him. He is willing to deny people outside the Citadel AND the whole entire KINGDOM. Outsiders whether or not they live in the Citadel are NOT allowed inside.
This will eventually cause a REVOLT. A rebellion and Revolution. If Affogato did find a way to gain natural income, the way he denies people at the door because they don’t have the luxury of the Black Citadel, people will start to turn against him or die. It is similar to how the Creme Republic, treats the Lower City, but WORSE. The people will literally suffer the wrath of the wilds or the lack of food and resources. We already know that the people in charge of defending the Villagers were the Watchers of the Citadel, if Affogato manipulates them to not do their duty in helping the outsiders but instead protect him, then the Milk Village who remained loyal to Dark Cacao, will FALL. It will die, because there is no one to protect them from the Beasts. Sure some of them can fight, but considering that Dark Choco Cookie had to save the entire village in his young age from Wild CreamWolves, I’d say not many of them do know how to fight.
But there are still others who live around the area other than the Milk Village, considering Caramel Arrow Cookie’s remark to the rumors being spread, which is most likely not the Milk Village. And the cookie from the beginning of Episode 13.
But that makes it even more possible for a Rebellion against him, if this Cookie is willing to knock on the door for help, then others who have heard the tale of Ancient Heroes or other nations besides their own, will find help, OUTSIDE the Kingdom, Most likely, Gingerbrave’s Kingdom or Hollyberry Kingdom (Since they don’t know about the Creme Republic) since Affogato has no care of the outside world he will not see a rebellion coming, or better yet, his own loyalists turns against him.
His way of living will restart another version of himself, who absolutely despises him. Though the Dark Cacao Loyalists work in the Black Citadel, they also have families who don’t, possibly even Affogato’s. He will be killed by someone who he trusts and seems the most loyal to him until he is backstabbed.
Let’s not forget what he is willing to do as King.
He is willing to manipulate people
Willing to strike fear and banish those who oppose him
Willing to KILL those who get in his way and oppose him
Willing to ignore everything outside just to stay in the lap of luxury
Willing to not work at all
Willing to bribe others in the pleasure of wealth.
Willing to disguise it as for others pleasure when it is for his own.
People, This is isn’t a Leader…
THIS IS A TYRANT.
He is willing to Kill Dark Cacao just to get the throne and he is willing to do so to others to stay in it.
Do you really think he is truly right? No! The Dark Cacao Kingdom will not survive in his way of living and rule.
It will fall, by his hands and by the people.
Whether or not the COD interferes and Dark Cacao dies, his way will DOOM the Kingdom, till it’s nothing but history.
And if you’re saying Dark Cacao starves his people, again they Ration food, there’s probably not enough to last them a lifetime.
I am SLAYED, you hear me?! SLAYED.
