“You—” Jessica hesitates. “I like your smile,” she says sincerely, if rather awkwardly, “but you’re not… Your smiles lately haven’t been real.”

There are two new girls this year. One is tall and round-cheeked and sweet-looking. The other one – from Canada, with her collection of instruments and powerhouse voice – won’t leave Irene alone.

Joohyun turns around so they’re facing each other, so she can look into Seungwan’s eyes instead of merely seeing her reflection in the mirror. They say that objects in a mirror are closer than they appear, but Seungwan can never be close enough for Joohyun.

Wendy always seems to know what she’s thinking; knows to pass her water when she’s thirsty, sing her a lullaby when she’s tired, give her reassurance when she’s disillusioned. Wendy always seems to know her, and yet she feels like she barely knows Wendy at all sometimes.

Taeyeon is obvious, and Jessica is oblivious. [Total fluff. AU, of course]

Sooyoung and Yerim spend half the ride home after Weekly Idol teasing Wendy about her “unnie is delicious” slip of the tongue.

“You were,” Myungsoo starts, and doesn’t even know how to finish that sentence. He always has too many words he wants to use to describe Sungyeol and yet never enough at the same time.

Yerin seems to take great enjoyment in how much she annoys Sinbi.

“Hi, Jessi!” Tiffany’s smile is almost hard to look at. It’s just so…bright. Tiffany’s just so bright. It makes Jessica wants to cover her eyes but peek through the gaps between her fingers. “It’s nice to meet you!” Or: the JeTi kidfic that wouldn’t leave me alone.

“Did Yerin unnie treat you well in Europe?” Eunha asks her when they’re filming for V App.

“Look,” Yerin stage whispers. “Taeyeon sunbaenim is staring at you.”

When Taeyeon is told that she’s going to have a female love interest in her music video, she may or may not immediately embrace the idea. When Taeyeon is told that said female love interest is going to be played by Jessica Jung, she may or may not quietly but completely freak out.

Xiening keeps a diary.

The thing is, you don’t realize when you first fell for her.

It’s the same routine, until it isn’t.

“Hey, it took you long enough!” is Tiffany’s way of greeting, but it’s the other person across the table that makes Jessica stop and stare. “Oh, I invited TaeTae too. You don’t mind, do you Jessi?” “No, of course not,” Jessica says with an airy laugh. It’s not a lie; she doesn’t mind, she would never mind Taeyeon, it’s just that… Well.

Taeyeon laughs for a good five minutes when Jessica tells her that she’s a zombie. “I think you’ve been watching too much The Walking Dead.”

Joohyun’s stare used to make Seulgi’s heart race, her face flush, but now she’s incapable of any of those things. Even time no longer moves the same way when she feels trapped within the same moment while the world moves forward without her.

The first time that Heeyeon goes to the coffee shop where Junghwa works, she’s running around half blind because she broke her glasses again and she has half a cream cheese bagel stuffed into and probably looks utterly deranged.

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

Meeting you is like making a switch to polar coordinates: complex and imaginary things are given a magnitude and direction.

Daisy never thought she’d one day be obsessed with a strand of hair. Surely, this is the most irksome, distracting, burdensome strand of hair that ever existed. Yes, she’s talking about that one strand of hair that keeps getting into Yeonwoo’s eyes.

Jessica likes girls. Likes the feel of their hair, especially when it’s torn from their scalps. Likes the sound of their voices, especially when they’re screaming, pleading, choking. Likes the look in their eyes, especially when the life has faded from them.

She’s aware that she’s gaping like a fish on dry land, but she’s too shocked by seeing Jessica here of all places. Even though this is the country they were born in, grew up in, seeing Jessica here feels like a dream, or a different life. Or: JeTi reunite at a Hollywood audition.

ihatecucumbers: so there was this new girl in math today prettyinpink: and???

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.

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

‘All my intel said you’re not meant to be back until next week and I’m sitting here using your flat as a sniper nest to kill a bad guy. This is awkward.’ AU

“I did it,” Fu Jing whispers into Xuanyi’s hair, her tone one of disbelief, like she’s still shocked at it all.

Fu Jing doesn’t like Xuanyi. (Or maybe, she likes her a little too much.)
