An imagine when Taeyong dared Doyoung to approach a girl and give her some free fast pass and food vouchers from the theme park but the someone came and Doyoung thought he was her boyfriend and got heartbroken.
*
"Go on, Dodo. You can do it", Taeyong whispered from behind him.
"Taeyong, I swear to God, I'll kill next time you force me to do something like this", he warned.
"Well, I'm not the one who lose the bet", Taeyong smirked. "Meet you at your home. Bye", he said as his friend got off from his car and walked towards the girl.
*
"Hey, guys-", her mouth hung widely as she looked at the vacant space infront of her.
"Yah... Did they really leave me? I just went to park the car for awhile", she said referring to her friends.
Scratching her head she dialed her friend's number but nobody out of her 5 friends answered.
"Aish! Jjinja?!"
"Where are they?!"
She yelled in frustration at the empty car park.
"Need some help?", a husky voice asked her.
She faced the owner of the voice.
A guy.
A tall, young and rugged man. His shirt hung from his broad shoulders perfectly. A warm smile plastered on his face.
"Urm..."
"I think you do. Come let me show you around."
He gestured her to follow him.
*
He showed her around the theme park but she didn't go on the rides. She wanted to look for her friends. Everywhere they went, she kept an eye for any of her friends.
She frowned all the way of the tour.
'Where are they?'
'What will they think if they see me with this stranger?'
It's not that she's not grateful, she was indeed very grateful of this miracle. It's not everyday someone will lend you a helping hand. Moreover, a stranger.
But she's afraid of what her friends would think. No, more like she didn't want to get teased.
"I haven't introduce myself. I'm Doyoung. And you?", his question brought her back to reality.
"Huh?"
"Your name?", he asked again.
"Oh... I'm Jina", she answered.
Then, her eyes caught a glipse of her friend. Minji.
"Well, you look distracted. Are you okay?", his eyebrows formed a concerned frown.
"Actually, I'm looking for my friends. It's not like I'm not grateful for your help but I need to go", she said and quickly ran to Minji.
"Thank you!", she managed to shout as she ran while waving her hand.
*
"Hey, I think we left someone behind", Hayeon said.
"Right...", Chaemi nodded.
"Wait. Where's Jina?", Sori asked.
"Right... We left Jina at the car park", Aeri said.
"Hey, guys. I got a missed call from Jina", Minji said.
"Ppali, guys. Look out for Jina while we walk around", Hayeon said.
*
"Guys, isn't that Jina?", Sori pointed at the merry-go-round.
"Yes. It's her", Aeri said.
"Who's that next to her?", Chaemi asked, pointing to Doyoung.
*
"There you are", Jina said as she catched her breathe.
"I've been searching everywhere for you guys", she panted.
"Searching for us or going on a blind date?", Hayeon teased.
"Eh? No!!! Aish! You guys left me and accused me going on a date?! Ai! You are so mean!", she yelled.
"I'm just kidding, Jina-ya", Hayeon grinned, patting Jina's shoulder.
Jina pouted.
"Come on. Have you guys go on the rides? Cause I haven't", Jina linked her hands with Hayeon and walked towards the rides.
The others followed suit, grinning as they did. Feeling grateful because they had found their dear friend.
*
"That ride was NASTY!", Chaemi yelled the last word, referring to the rollercoster.
"I want to puke already", Aeri put a hand across her mouth.
"You weak ass bitches, look at me. Strong and steady", Sori smirked.
"Wait till we get to the haunted house", Hayeon deadpanned.
Sori rolled her eyes and stuck her tongue at Hayeon.
"I'm not scared."
Then, they heard someone coughed from behind them.
They turned around and saw Doyoung.
"Hi", he waved.
"I'm Doyoung", he introduced himself.
"Ohh~ You're that guy with Jina,right?", Chaemi asked.
"Yeah... She looks like she was lost so I showed her around", he explained. "No harm intended", he raised his both of his hands in a surrender motion.
"Thank you for taking care of our friend", Hayeon thanked him. Her eyes scanned him from top to toe.
She was wary of this stranger. Her instinct told her not to trust him.
As for Doyoung, he had been searching high and low for Jina since the latter left him a few hours ago. He still hadn't settle the bet - but actually it was more than that.
That Jina girl, caught his attention.
Although her indifference towards him, kind off irked him but he knew, she's just worried about being alone in a foreign place.
The way her eyes wandered around the compound made him wondered what she was searching for. Her small frown looked disturbing but cute at the same time.
God, Taeyong must say that he's crazy if he told him that but imagining if he could wipe away the frown and replace it with a smile made his heart skipped a beat.
What does that girl had that made him so crazy right now? He didn't believe in love at first sight but that Jina girl changed it all.
Suddenly, someone greeted them.
"Jina. Is that you?"
"Oh... Hi, girls", the same person said again.
"Jae... Jaehyun. Hi", Jina awkwardly waved at him.
"Didn't saw this coming. I must be lucky to bump into you today", he said with a grin.
"Don't be silly", Jina replied. Her face was red as a tomato and her eyes wandered everywhere except Jaehyun's face.
"Ai~ Did you plan this or something. I smell something fishy here", Minji teased them.
"Eh? Jina didn't tell you guys? We're going on a date. Sorry, I'm late, Ji", he winked at her.
She looked else where, her face turned redder. Her friends laughed at her and continued to tease them.
Doyoung's expression turned gloomy.
'So she already have a boyfriend.'
"Erm... actually, I just want to give you guys this", he handed Hayeon some tickets.
Hayeon cautiously took them.
"Goodbye", he said and walked away.
Everyone didn't notice Doyoung left except for Hayeon. They seemed to be absorbed in teasing Jina and Jaehyun. Jina's face was as red as a beetroot while Jaehyun grinned like a mad man.
"So why are you actually here, Jung Jaehyun?", Aeri asked. "Waiting for your girlfriend?"
"Yeah. I came here a bit earlier than her. Last time I made a big mistake of arriving late", he answered.
"What if she saw you flirting with Jina?", Sori asked.
Jaehyun chuckled.
"She knows about us."
"Come on, Jina is fine with it, right?"
"Yeah. Thanks for giving me fake hope", Jina made a face.
"Jina, don't be salty. Aren't you happy seeing me again?", he teased her.
"No but I think you'll be happy seeing her", she pointed at his girlfriend.
"Oppa!", Jaehyun's girlfriend ran to him, giving him a big hug.
"Jinri", he hugged her back.
"Eww... cringe", Hayeon faked a gag.
The couple laughed.
"Annyeonghaseyo, eonnie", Jinri greeted the girls.
They waved at her.
"Now, shoo. We single girls want our bonding time together. Couples are not allowed", Minji said, gesturing the couple away in a playful manner.
Again, they laughed.
"Have a good day", Jinri wished them as Jaehyun lead her away. The older girls nodded and waved them goodbye.
"Now... Lets eat", Chaemi said. Marching to the nearest restaurant.
"But first, where's Doyoung?", Jina asked.
"Aww... Already missing you prince charming?", Sori asked.
Jina rolled her eyes. "He was here a second ago", she said, ignoring Sori's tease.
"He left already but he gave us this", Hayeon showed them the tickets.
"Wah! Free fast pass and food vouchers!", Aeri grabbed the tickets.
"What a day! Lets enjoy!", Chaemi pumped her fist to the air.
"Why do I have you as friends?", Minji massaged her temple, distancing herself from her two child-like friends.
"Stop acting weird guys. Lets go", Jina said.
A part of her still worried about Doyoung but then he's just a Good Samaritan so she shrugged off the thought and enjoyed the day with her friends.
*
"How's today?", Taeyong asked him as he entered his room.
"The cute girl already have a boyfriend", Doyoung sighed.
"The girl I dared you to approach?", Taeyong asked.
Doyoung nodded.
"It's a shame. She's cute", Taeyong said. "She might make a good girlfriend."
Doyoung shooked his head and grabbed a console.
"Lets play some games, Taeyong", Doyoung said, switching on the TV.
"Whatever make my friend happy at this moment", Taeyong said, jumping off his bed and sat next to Doyoung on the couch.

Hi there!
This is my first time posting on tumblr. Actually, I posted this oneshot on nct amino and wattpad. I hope you like it! ❤😘
What I love the most is when a story is told and there aren't any sequels, the story is over, but there are other stories set in the same world which occasionally mention the characters from the first story like oh! They're happy! They're living quiet unassuming lives!!! They have no more story to tell except the story of living peacefully!

Becoming a writer is great because now you have a hobby that haunts you whenever you don’t have time to do it
Hey, my cute little Muses!
Let's talk about something that's as essential to writing as coffee is to my life: description. Yep, those juicy, detailed snippets that paint a picture in your reader’s mind. Buckle up, because we're diving deep into the wonderful world of words!
First things first, let's get this out of the way: dialogue is awesome. It’s the sassy sibling of description that gets all the attention at family gatherings. But description? Description is the unsung hero, the one who quietly makes everything beautiful and meaningful.
Example Time!
Imagine a scene where two characters meet after years apart. You could write:
Dialogue Version:
“Hey, long time no see.”
“Yeah, it’s been a while.”
Description Version:
The air hung heavy with unspoken words as Jane stepped into the dimly lit café. Her heart raced, a drumbeat echoing the years of separation. Across the room, a familiar figure turned, his eyes widening in surprise. The years had etched lines into his face, but his smile – that same old smile – was unmistakable.
See the difference? One is a quick text exchange, the other pulls you into the moment, making you feel every heartbeat.
Let’s get real. My early attempts at description were… let’s say, less than stellar. Picture this: me, hunched over my laptop at 2 AM, trying to describe a sunset. I wrote, “The sunset was nice.” Genius, right? Shakespeare would be proud.
But over time, I learned to appreciate the beauty of weaving in details. Descriptions don't just tell you what something looks like; they tell you how it feels, smells, sounds, and tastes. They make your world vivid and real.
Another Example!
Consider a spooky old house:
Dialogue Version:
“Look, it’s an old house.”
Description Version:
The house loomed ahead, its windows like dark, empty eyes. The wind whispered through the broken shutters, carrying with it the faint scent of decay. Each step on the creaking porch felt like an invitation to the unknown, a call to uncover the secrets hidden within its ancient walls.
You feel that shiver? That’s the magic of description.
Here’s the kicker: “show, don’t tell” doesn’t mean you have to ditch description for action-packed dialogue. Description is a vital part of showing. It’s about making your readers experience the story, not just read it.
Show, Don’t Tell Example!
Tell Version:
John was scared.
Show Version:
John’s hands trembled as he gripped the flashlight. His breath came in short, sharp bursts, and his eyes darted around the dark room, searching for the source of the eerie noise.
In the “show” version, you’re right there with John, feeling his fear. Description brings out the emotions without simply stating them.
1. Depth and Atmosphere: Dialogue can be snappy and fun, but description sets the scene. It creates the mood and builds the world your characters inhabit.
2. Character Insight: Through description, you can reveal a character’s thoughts and emotions in a way that dialogue alone can’t.
3. Pacing and Tension: Good description can slow down a moment to build suspense or quicken the pace to heighten excitement.
Remember, balance is key. Too much description can bog down your story, while too little can leave readers feeling disconnected. It's all about finding that sweet spot.
So, next time you’re writing, give a little extra love to your descriptions. Think of them as the cozy blanket that wraps around your story, keeping it warm and inviting. And if you ever find yourself writing “the sunset was nice,” just know you’re not alone – we’ve all been there.
Keep writing, keep describing, and remember: every detail counts!
Until next time,
Museadvicecorner (a.k.a. the person who has way too many notebooks)
P.S. If you need me, I'll be here, trying to describe the indescribable and failing gloriously.
Your feedback on my blog would mean the world to me! If my posts make you smile, why not fuel my caffeine addiction? Any support is super appreciated, even a comment too. Got any topics you want me to dive into? Just holler. Need some custom writing prompts? Hit me up anytime! :-) Also I'm thinking of starting a writing community do tell me what you think about it (◠‿◕)

“Feel like another round?”
“You were great last night…”
“Wow, you look even better in the daylight.”
“My clothes look better on you than they do on me.”
“I had no idea you were into that stuff…I’m glad I found out.”
“We didn’t even get to use the toys last night.”
“You should play with my hair some more…”
“I don’t remember ever having this many hickeys. But I don’t mind.”
“That was a workout.”
“I don’t know your name. But you can share it with me, so I know what to scream this time.”
“The fun doesn’t have to end.”
“I think I can convince you to stay…”
“Don’t pretend like you’re asleep. Should I find a way to wake you up?~”
“We could order pizza and just stay like this all day.”
“I love your bedhead.”
Awkward
“Oh no…what did we do?”
“Hi! You need to leave.”
“I’m sorry…who are you?”
“Ugh…I drank so much.”
“I can’t believe I did this again.” / “I can’t believe we did this again.”
“Where are your clothes?”
“…I’m sore in such weird places.”
“Hey, sorry! I’m gonna go. Right now.”
“You didn’t seem like you were having such a bad time last night.”
“Someone’s coming. Is that your mom/partner/spouse/etc.?”
“I think this was a mistake.”
“*trying to sneak out while half-dressed*”
“Your foot is in my face.”
“Did we use protection?”
“*sees ___ and screams*”
