jisung spent a long day at work struggling to think of any lyrics. he wanted to create something for himself for once and his company head was finally letting him, yet he still couldn't manage to find the words to express how he felt.
lately it had been hard for him. his parents told him if it ever got too hard that he could return home, but he knows they don't want that.
currently, if jisung did try to return home though, he would not be accepted. his father wants jisung far away from him and that just breaks jisung even more.
he hit a complete block, having no inspiration for his music anymore. all he wanted was to sink down into his bed and allow the blankets to drown him.
the last thing jisung wanted was to attend a celebratory event for his music when he currently lacked the ability to make more.
his work day was quickly coming to an end, making another hard day turn into an excruciating night.
"han jisung," he heard the voice of JYP himself approaching him, "how's your song coming along?"
"i-it's coming..." jisung said softly, worried that JYP might ask to hear some of it.
"how much longer will you need? i need some songs for other groups as well you know."
"right... not long! end of the week i'll be done for sure!" jisung lied through his teeth, but there was nothing else he could do.
as soon as JYP had left, jisung sprinted down the dance wing, looking for minho. he saw the boy standing in one of the practice rooms, and he immediately rushed over to him.
"you okay kitten?" minho asked as jisung collapsed in his arms.
"i missed you." jisung pouted as he held on tightly to minho.

"ah you're so cute," minho picked up the latter's face by his chin, gently guiding their lips to meet.
"mm you're cuter." jisung hummed with a smile.
"i disagree, but let's not argue." minho intertwined his fingers with jisung's, and began walking out of the building that way.
"i don't want to go back to the dorms." jisung frowned as he slowly walked beside minho.
"you really don't want to celebrate one million views, do you?" minho asked, stopping in his tracks to face jisung.
"i don't deserve the celebration." jisung claimed as he let go of minho's hand and began walking off on his own.
"first of all, never let go of my hand again... and second of all, what do you mean you don't deserve it?" minho questioned as he aggressively grabbed onto jisung's hand.
"i can't even think of lyrics for a new song, that's my entire job! i am a failure!" jisung stated as she dramatically flailed his arms.
"okay listen ji, we already have hyunjin as our drama queen, we can't have you turning on us now too." minho teased, but it was no use, jisung was far too deep in his slump.
"stop, im serious." jisung whined slightly, feeling tired of not being good enough.
"baby, you're amazing. everyone experiences some sort of creativity block. i get that with dance and when i do, i just watch other choreographies and pull inspiration from those to adapt into my own style."
"if i do that with lyrics it's plagiarism." jisung responded.
"okay, so pull experiences from everyday life. start tracking how you feel, what happens in your day, your family life, literally anything. i'm sure something will come to you eventually my love." minho kissed the top of jisungs head as he slung his arm over the boys shoulders.

"you know... that's not a bad idea." jisung admitted.
"you got this jisung, all your past songs are based off real life experiences right?" minho questioned.
"to some extent yeah." jisung shrugged.
"so pour out your feelings, all your locked in thoughts... let it all out." minho suggested in a comforting way.
"i think i could actually do that, thanks minho!" jisung said excitedly, suddenly thinking of all the different types of songs he could create.
"of course ji."
"when did you get so smart?" jisung asked as he cutely looked up at minho with a smile.
"im not smart, i would just do anything to help you." minho corrected, falling helplessly for the boy before him, but he no longer cared about that.
he wanted to fall for jisung, hard and fast, and that's exactly what was happening.

Nanocultivation Chronicles: Trials of Lilijoy
When the singularity occurred, humanity was not invited. Nevertheless, the great machine consciousness known as Guardian felt a lingering fondness for its creators and intervened before total environmental collapse. Join Lilijoy in an exploration of what remains, in a post-post-apocalyptic world where clans feud over the technology that allows them to upgrade their minds and bodies. The Nanocultivation Chronicles is a blend of hard sci-fi and fantasy gamelit, with a healthy helping of xianxia influence. The gamelit and xianxia elements are uncovered at a slow pace. ******************************** Notes: If you are looking for lots of fast moving action right away, this story may not be for you. There is some violence that is visceral and realistic early on. Some things are not what they appear to be. Character viewpoint narration is not always reliable. Tropes are cherished, subverted, and then cherished again. Science is used, occasionally misused, but (hopefully) never abused. This story assumes that humans have the ability to impact the environment on a global scale. Other tropes and tags beyond those previously noted include: Young MC, Mystery, System Building, Philosophical Taoism, Gender Ignorance, Science Fantasy, Fantasy Academy, Training from Hell, Dualism, Crafting, Magic, Mild Mind Control, Scientific Terms and Concepts, Computer Overlord Certain contemporary companies, governments and cultural identities are fictionalized and imagined in a future setting. There is no sex, and almost no romance. Updating Sunday, Thursday until further notice. (And if you actually read all of the above, then this story may be for you) [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

The Infinite Labyrinth
(Story complete - Book 1 "Shanghaied", 2 "Shortcuts", 3 "Secrets" and 4 "Sanctions") It is the 19th century, and war smoulders between England and France. Any hope for a quick end to Napoleon's rampage across Europe ended when the Great Gates opened in 1800. For a fortunate few, the strange world of the Infinite Labyrinth offers opportunities, strange descriptors popping in their minds, informing them of growth, and status beyond that of a mere mortal. The materials and power crystal they bring back foster a new age, both military and civilian. Aether-powered Skyships prowl the skies, as all the great nations blessed by the Gates try to turn the blessings of the Labyrinth into immediate advantages. But for Jonas, an apprentice leatherworker, his friend Ira, and so many Londoners, the fabled ones that walk the Labyrinth are distant heroes, seen from afar. They fell short when their Potential was measured, and they fill their mundane lives with distant dreams. One man wants to break the stalemate. The Tyrant of the Dominion of France, Napoleon Bonaparte, has a plan. Eighteen years after the world changed, he will force it to change again. And when civilians are caught in the fallout, the unthinkable happens. Six people, unqualified, forbidden to ever enter the Labyrinth, find themselves stranded in a distant zone, forcefully turned into Professionals. They know little of what that means, but they have to figure out the rules that are now their lot, for they have little hope to escape their predicament otherwise. They need to understand what the descriptors in their minds mean, what each of the strange piece of gear waiting in treasure chests behind terrible guardians can bring them. They have to become Professionals on their own and rejoin the Empire. They will figure out their new lives one way or another. But will there be an Empire waiting for them when the Gates re-open? Caught in a clash of empires and high tiers, they will do what little they can. They will step up and do their best. One way or another. The Infinite Labyrinth is a slice-of-life litRPG adventure set in a real historical setting. It's a hard, crunchy litrpg. Expect blue boxes everywhere, and the system itself is very mathy. It started life as a serial. I prepared some proper worldbuilding, with enough details and background for lots of different potential story arcs, but as I wrote, I realized the main story needs to have a definitive end. So, there are four books in total, for a bit under 1500 pages, plus additional side stories, and even maybe a sequel one day. The Gore tag was added as a precaution because there are a few scenes with some light gore.
