They're on opposite sides of the door. It's dark but it's early and Daesung and Yongbae and Seunghyun senior are out doing something actually not work-related for once in their lives. Seungri and Jiyong are home and what they're doing doesn't really have to do with work either.

What they're doing is sitting with their back's to the thin wood ( Read more... )

;-;....

Thank you.

!!!!!!!!!

joy!!!! I loved this, so much so that I cannot really comment properly without basically quoting the entire fic. While the "sex" was hot, what really got me were the parts before the sex, their conversation, Seungri crying and feeling guilty, and the whole image of them on opposite sides of the door trying to "figure each other out", which is something I think they would totally do in this way, because Seungri has a lot of pride and Jiyong would probably do anything to get under his skin and into his mind.

I think Seungri would definitely open up to someone as "aggressive" as Jiyong in this way because he does tend to just keep to himself, his thoughts in his head, thus making it easy for the other hyungs to often misunderstand him. I can even picture Seungri alone in the apartment some nights in this same position, the bedroom locked and his back against the door (or a wall, or if the others ARE home, then maybe a secret pace in a tiny closet where he can just retreat when things are getting too hard and he doesn't have it in him to ask for help, or something like that -- maybe even in an empty bathtub late at night) so as you can see, just that one image of Seungri bunched up against a door resonates very strongly with me and that's kind of why the beginning won me over.

of course the "sex" is a bonus, and the slight pay-off at the end is somewhat of a relief - except they go back to pretend eventually, which both ensures the cycle of their denied romance while at the same time complicates it far deeper than it would have been had they abstained. But so worth it.

I think I'd like to read some angsty g-ri with seungri bunched up somewhere late at night, fighting through anxiety attacks and found by the hyung, who maybe can do nothing but speak to him from he other side of a door, or shower curtain, because moments like these make Seungri feel too vulnerable and if Jiyong were to see him like that it might completely undo him.

But that really has nothing to do with you.

Nothing...to do...with you... >.>...

thank you for writing and posting this wonderful fic.

Hey you. I haven't seen you around, and then you go and post this butt-fuck long post.

....

.... <3. Hey.

Anyways, thanks, I really appreciate the comment. I feel very similarly about Seungri, and I think as a character and a person he's very dynamic.

Jiyong is just strange and freaky. Also, don't go and give me strange ideas like that, it leads me down long and dark roads and away from the multitude of fics I need to finish. .__o derf.

<3 again.

I'm ninja like that.

You don't see me and then all of a sudden it's like, WHAM, BAM, KAPOW, and you're seeing stars and stuff.

You're welcome, you deserve it. :)

I love this comment because of the way you described Ri and Ji's relationship as controlled and broken and cycled, the way you think that they understand each other, think that Ji's the only one who really understands Ri. I love love love how you think Ji will be the only one to undo Ri, and how Ri will just be closed up to anybody else. Also, I love how you see their relationship as tension-filled but bittersweet.

We think alike.

And yes, if it comes to tension-filled-angst, this girl here is the only one who can do it. She invented GRI angst.

Yeah, totally. And I think I really noticed it when I was watching Daesung and Seungri's Intimate Note; the hyungs kept getting on Seungri's case about his personality, which is nothing new, really, but for some reason it struck me as almost too much while I was watching it because it seemed like they had one complaint after another lol. And yeah, it's all in good fun but at the same time we all know they're half serious.

Seungri "found out" that Taeyang also feels awkward with him, when I think he thought that he and his Taeyang hyung were fine. Seungri found out that YG doesn't really like the way Seungri approaches him, even though Seungri is doing it out of a fear of being forgotten - and the only reason he found out is because Jiyong spilled the beans, I think without realizing it by studying his face and reactions when Daesung said, "(referring to Seungri) Yeah but he doesn't know."

And Seungri's face was actually kind of heartbreaking in its own way. But throughout the show Jiyong seemed to always be the one trying to kind of remind Seungri that they love him, they're just playing, with his discreet little touches and glances and stuff.

But still, it makes me wonder, especially with that obvious fear Seungri has of not amounting to anything, not shining, being forgotten, how much stress/frustration he keeps inside of him. And how he must feel when he gets bombarded by all the things his hyungs are disappointed with about him. I wonder sometimes if he ever just cries in the shower for a few minutes because it builds up or what. But the fact that Jiyong is there and he seems to be the only one who really, truly understands the way Seungri's mind works and is able to predict what will make Seungri feel bad even if he doesn't show it, says a lot.

I think Ri is very deep. Just unwilling to open up too much in case it'll leave him too vulnerable. That's mostly how I view Seungri, in terms of what I really enjoy in fanfiction.

So, if we do think alike, that's pretty awesome because, well, it is, and it's not often you meet someone who perceives things the way you do. So nice to meet you, although I read you often anyway. XD

This has got to be destiny. You didn't photocopy my mind, right? Or maybe I did yours?

Even before watching Intimate Note, I already noticed this undeniable connection between GRi. i cannot explain it but somehow, without all the fanservice that they were once so blatantly doing, you can feel their affection for each other onscreen. Watch Ji's eyes, Ji's smile, Ji's ever present concern for Ri and I never had a doubt that Ji is the only person in BB that really understand the workings of Ri's mind.

What I really want to know though is why oh why did their fanservice suddenly die down? I think maybe Seungri started to grow up (and it's hard growing up when people expect so much from you and watches over you constantly), and Ji understands that Ri wants space (silently) but misses Ri (jealousy on rooftop and confrontation in Madam B and Come To Play). The others love Ri and cares about him but Ji's the only person that really do get him.

I mean... just look at the way Ji always stands up for Ri when people are going too far with their accusations on Ri. Like his issue with women and Ri's awkward relationship with his hyungs among others. And Ji's the only guy who gets to annoy the hell out of Ri but stil stay the same at the end of the day. That really, sometimes, if you watch interviews you'll see that Ji and Ri has this sort of inside joke that the others don't really get or that the others aren't really interested in.

I like Ri a lot. Like you've said, even though he's over flowing with confidence, he's so sure of himself, still he's just really afraid of failing.

I think, the charm of GRi fics is that they seem so real. It deals of real situations and emotions and possibilities and what ifs and maybes.

Hi too!!! Really? I've never seen you in my lj though. HAHA. <3
