It wasn't our fault, but it was our burden to bear.

If you lose your food-obsessed fiance in a crowd, here’s how to find her in three tries or less.

The story starts with a group, a huddle of boys fresh off the boat but with dreams bigger than the universe itself. It starts with two young men chasing their dreams and ends with them circling each other in a death spiral. It starts with a boy from the stars and another forged from fire. The story starts years ago. It starts like this—

The hand at her back slides off, and that’s a little painful too. Byul is awake. They lie there in silence for a while, neither of them talking, but both knowing that the other is awake. Yong contemplates pretending to go back to sleep, but that’s the coward’s way out. Instead, she shifts to lie on her back and rolls her head to the side. Byul is already looking at her, expression blank. || or, Byul and Yong aren't soulmates, but they don't care.

Everyone has a breaking point. And tonight was his.  A Leetuk-centric story.

Taemin is an idealist, young and full of life. Minho is a realist, determined and organized. They make an odd pair, everyone keeps saying. Yet maybe a little oddity was just what they needed.

The three times Jennie tries to protect Chaeyoung, and the one time Chaeyoung protects Jennie.

'it's been a while.' and so it has. when myungsoo left his hometown, he never planned on coming back, yet life has a funny way of digging up the past. faced with the guilt and regret of ten years ago, myungsoo finally learns to let go. 'sometimes, without me realizing, i feel like my heart will be revealed.'

When he was 10 years old, Kim Heechul learnt he wasn't like the other boys. As he grew older, he met the people that helped him to explore his differences, and maybe even learn to embrace them.

It is quite evident that most people knows "savage af diva" Kim Heechul. Brash, honest, and loud. Yet over the years, through each experiences he witnessed, his softer side seems to show up more recently making people around him to be surprise and unsurprise. 

The relationship between Kim Kibum and each SHINee member throught the years TRIGGER WARNING for mentions of: suicide, self-harm.  

Yeonwoo is approached by an idol trainee, who asks her if she could listen to her sing. Yeonwoo would've said no, if not for the tears in her eyes.

In which Hyuk started a blog to document his new life as a university student who lives with 5 completely different, very interesting, and sometimes idiotic hyungs. To put in another way... This is a character study of Cha Hakyeon, Jung Taekwoon, Lee Jaehwan, Kim Wonshik, and Lee Hongbin, from the eyes of Han Sanghyuk.  

The first time Mimi sees Bora, she mistakes her for an elementary school student.

It’s like they were meant to sing together. That’s all she allows herself to think. Not that they were meant to be together, only sing together. It’s easier to think of it like that, to think of Taeyeon as her fellow main vocal and future member and friend at most. Or so she tells herself anyway.

  Lee Jinsook is a curious girl. She knows everything: which kind of book Sojung read when she's sad, the way Cheng Xiao frowns her forehead when she can't understand a korean word but pretends she does, how Jiyeon likes to fold her own clothes when she's nervous, and the many ways Dayoung likes to when she isn't well, because her fellow maknae always knows which buttons to push. She knows everything, until she doesn't.

Lately, I’ve been thinking about two questions: What do you think about Hani? and What do you think about Heeyeon?

Sometimes Baekhyun feels too little. Sometimes Baekhyun feels too much.
