The road to becoming an idol, wasn't a turn he expected to take. Yongguk was no longer a teenager, rapping of women and alcohol no longer fulfilled his ambitions. He became aware of the world around him, of the rottenness and the corruption of the system, surrounding him and his generation. He had a message to give, and needed a bigger crowd to receive it. He thought, if he found a company who allowed do his own music without too many idol constrictions, he could follow his own motto, the words he had imprinted in his skin: do what u like and luv what u do. TS Entertainment seemed to offer him the chance to live his dream.

It wasn't easy. It took the proverbial sweat, tears and blood, and a level of commitment Yongguk didn't expect. He had to face his own doubts (he wanted to write and produce music, he didn't want to dance, he didn't know how to dance. He didn't understand why he had to learn such things aegyo and fanservice), yet the hardest part was the loneliness. He did make friends with other trainees, but he was

Yongguk life story is amazing and heartbreaking and amazing ♥ I love how you described his progression from an initial interest in music/rap to something much, much bigger. And Himchan is home kyaaaah ^^♥

[akmongs]

Thank you omg~ I didn't think I'd end up being so focused on Yongguk, but in the end I did! I even put research in this fic because I wanted his past to be as accurate as possible kkkk ♥♥

I'm actually thinking about making it into a longer fic, with more descriptions of Himchan and Yongguk's relationship, I really liked writing this

ARGH I love how even from young he discerns the difference in meanings and then later he outgrows the underground scene and then nooo~ his grandfather ;A; that whole era was heartbreak in retrospect. BUT THEN HIMCHAN. ♥__♥ this was super sweet~

[light + reaction, banghim, pg] (part 1) i really really couldn't keep this under 1k but i really really wanted to post it so i'm sorry, may the tbb gods strike me with lightning

Himchan knew it was a daring decision, but he refused to let himself be stopped. Yongguk sounded ecstatic when Himchan proposed the idea, so when he kissed him goodbye a little harder than necessary, he knew he wasn't going to regret it.

Driving to the place, Himchan weighted the pros (sex. Wild adventurous sex, more sex than they had in the last, say, 4 years) and the cons (he was too old to pull these stunts). Himchan scratched that. He wasn't old. Not a single wrinkle on his priced face. He was going to do it.

The color was... light, in lack of better words. Looking at himself in the mirror, he couldn't stop picking at his locks, smoothing his long bangs, touching the shorter hair at his nape, the buzz feeling funny on his fingertips. He turned his head, tilted it up and down, changed angle like he was in a photoshoot. Sunwha, his hairdresser, was

"Bang Yongguk, you have a thing for blondes?" Himchan asked, detaching himself from Yongguk's hungry lips. He was impressed by Yongguk's eagerness. He wished he had the time to lay Yongguk on the couch and let him mess up his hair. The good way. But he didn't. "Where's Daehyun?"

"Maybe I do," Yongguk shrugged, grinning. He took Himchan's hand and walked down the hallway. "Daehyun is out with Youngjae, by the way." They stopped at the second door on the right, and Yongguk leaned against the wall, smirking at Himchan. "You know you have to face the real judges now, don't you?"

Himchan sighed. This was what refrained him for so long. He was scared. But now that the deed was done, he had to face it, eventually, and cross his fingers for the best. Yongguk smiled and squeezed Himchan's hand. He raised a brow, "You're ready?", and Himchan nodded. Yongguk turned the knob.

"Daddy!" two resonant screams shouted, and soon enough Yongguk found himself with an armful of Jongup and Junhong. Himchan peeked through the door and smiled
