Jun and I walked over to a more quiet area. "So how are you and Hao?" I asked him. He sighed "I want to confess but I'm scared. What if he doesn't feel the same way? What if he doesn't even like guys?" He asked worried. "Jun, trust me when I say this, you won't regret it if you confess" I said, and we both walked back to the group.
Jihoon pov
"Minghao, can we talk?" I asked him. "Ok" he said and followed me to a quieter place away from the group. "Hao, how are you and Jun hyung?" I asked. "I'm nervous to confess, what if he rejects me?" "Hao, I know how you feel, but you gotta go for it. Do you know how nervous I was to confess to Jeonghan hyung's twin sister. He's very protective of her and I was worried Jeonghan was going to kill me" I replied. He chuckled. "I guess, just give me some time, I'll do it soon" I smiled and nodded and we walked back to the group.
I met Ji and grabbed her hand "so how did it go with Jun hyung?" I asked her. "Pretty well, I think I gave him a boost of confidence" She replied. I nodded, "Hao just told me he was nervous, and I told him I was nervous too when I confessed to you and he should go for it" She smiled at me. "Technially you did it on acciddnt though" she said and we both chuckled.
Jun pov
We were all sitting around, doing whatever and Ji came up to me and sat down. "Jun go for it, go ask to talk to him on the balcony" She spoke in Chinese. "Alright wish me luck" I replied. "Hwaiting" she said and I got up to find Minghao.

I would be lying if I said wasn't nervous. "Minghao can we talk?" I asked. "Sure" he said getting up from his seat, following me out to the balcony. "What did you wanna talk about?" He asked. "Well" I took a deep breath. "I've been thinking about this for a while now and I just wanted to get it off my chest. Look, I like you a lot, like more than friends, and I was hoping you felt the same way" I said quickly. He didn't say anything but then he- he kissed me! I was shocked but eventually returned. He pulled away, "I like you too Jun hyung" he said smiling. We continued talking outside for a while before we went inside and parted ways before drifting off to sleep.

I saw Jun get up to go find Minghao and I ran over to Jihoon and started smacking his arm rapidly. "Ow! What are you doing?" He said shocked. "He's gonna do it. Jun's gonna confess" I whispered into his ear. He looked at me, eyes wide. "Really?!" He asked and I quickly nodded. We looked over and saw Jun and Minghao heading towards the balcony and of course being the people we are, we watched them.
After a while a was about to fall asleep on Jihoons chest but right before I did, I saw they kissed! I quickly looked up to Jihoon and he looked down at me. Our faces were centimeters apart but we didn't care, we were so shocked about Jun and Minghao kissing. "They kissed!" Jihoon whispered to me. "I know!!" I replied. We stayed there for a while in silence, looking at each other, Jihoon really is visually gifted. All of his features are just perfect. I don't know what came over me but I kissed him and he quickly replied. It got pretty heated fast but we pulled away for air. "As much as I enjoyed that, we should probably stop to prevent getting caught" I chuckled and nodded. "Yeah, but let me stay like this tonight, I'm sleepy" I said closing my eyes, my head still on his chest. I quickly drifted off to sleep, happy in his embrace.

I woke up to whispers "Take another one" "I am!" "Get one from another angle, from over there" "ok ok I will" My eyes fluttered opened "guys I think she's waking up" "run!" I opened my eyes to all the boys running into the kitchen. I rubbed my eyes and looked over to Jihoon to see he was still sound asleep. I smiled and poked his cheek "Jihoonie wake up" I said. "5 more minutes Jeonghan" "Jeonghan? I get it we're siblings but we don't sound that similar" I said slightly louder. He opened his eyes, looked at me, and smiled "Sorry Ji" he said in a sleepy voice. He rubbed his eyes and we both got up to eat breakfast. We greeted the puppies and headed to school.
I sat down for lunch with all the boys and Mark spoke up. "Ji, the Dreamies and I have to tell you something" "Go ahead" I said with my full attention on him. "Well, I know this won't be easy, but we can still keep in touch. Our dream is going to come true! All 21 of us are going to debut!" He said. "Aww I'm so happy for you guys, I know you've worked hard." I said getting up to hug them. "Even though I will be sad that I won't see you much anymore, I will be your number one fan, I'll always support you." I said.
"You should become a trainee Ji noona, you're really talented." Chenle spoke. "I might, depending on which direction my life leads me, because I really enjoyed composing with Johnny and Taeyong that one week, and I do miss dancing a lot, and singing and rapping has always been a hobby" They smiled.
"Ji you're gonna be a trainee?" Jihoon suddenly asked me. "I might consider it" I said "Ya know the boys and I considered it as well" he said taking a sip of his milk. "Do you think we should try together? All 14 of us?" I asked. "Maybe, we can talk about it after school, but we would have to balance quite a bit. Especially you, Seungcheol hyung, Jeonghan hyung, Joshua hyung, and Jun hyung because you all have jobs." He said and I nodded. "I think we could do it, if not, we can either stop training or quit our jobs and hope that all odds won't be against us" I replied. "Let's talk about it at home" He suggested and we finished our lunch.

Ars Magica
Our vision comes back into focus. Our eyes, while being able to perceive the immediate surroundings, still leave us with our minds uncomprehending towards what is actually occurring. Sure, there are definitive things that we can focus on, like the fact that we're either out upon the open sea or the open ocean, there not being much of a difference with no land in sight, as well as the fact that we appear to be upon a haphazardly constructed metal boat, whose seams are barely able to keep a hold of themselves in the crashing waves. However, that does not let us understand what exactly is causing the waves in the first place. If we were to rewind time, we'd find ourselves upon a calm sea under a peaceful sky with the only difference, being a small whirlpool that would be the precursor towards this uproar around the boat. Lightning flashes in the sky, with no clouds being near, and anyone actually manning the boat has either died towards the cause of the smashing tides in the first place, or are fighting amongst the flashes of lightning, all while trying not to become devoured, demolished, and utterly decimated by the beast roiling in the whirling waves. To better understand exactly what is happening here, there is one singular event that needs to be understood, that needs to be explained, and that is the arrival of a creature named Dave. Stepping back from current events and going towards this creature's first appearance in the world, we begin to hear the sound of water slowly dripping across rocky ground. The cavern is utterly silent except for this one constant, its cause feeding channels downwards, sloping towards cracks in the rubble along the floor from broken stalagmites and stalactites. And there, lying on top of something which had fallen over recently, judging from its cracks, is a person, the creature named Dave. His form is fast asleep, either from the impact or from an intoxication, judging from the smell upon its breath. A bright light suffuses into it for a second, giving life towards the pale skin, before it slowly dies down back to the comfortable black of the cave that it's within. Before this moment in time, Dave did not exist in the physical world. At least, not in the reality that he finds himself born into. We do not know whether or not his existence is simply a cosmic joke, or something that is being played out on purpose. All that we do know, is that one moment, the body was not in the cave, and simply formed in the next. The actual earliest time that we know Dave exists, is the interpolation of the memories of J-209, which we'll begin looking into shortly to gain context towards the coming narrative that is being written and hastily trying to keep itself written. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning: This story has several things which might turn its readers away. The first is that this story has shifting points of perspective. Don't worry about that previous sentence too much though, as the main character will always have a first person perspective associated with them. However, any other character from which we're viewing the story from will either be in third-person, as we are not necessarily in their shoes at the moment, or in first person, given that the narrator is an actual physical presence within the story. For the most part, chapters will be self-contained with their perspectives, so there will not be an abundance of switching perspectives within the same chapter. The most that an average reader would have to worry about is the fact that perspectives can switch between chapters. The second thing is that the main character is a bit on the 'special' side of things. He's not exactly mentally there most of the time, so there will be some times that his personality or his thoughts do not actively align with his actions. The third, and final thing of importance, is the fact that past the first couple of chapters, nothing has been planned in advance. There are arcs and plots that I want to do, want to implement, or have already been set into motion from our main character's introduction to the world, but the method that I use for my story writing and generating leads towards a bit more random chance being enabled. Basically...there's a lot of dice rolling behind the scenes. To not complicate the story further than its regular LitRPG elements, the rolls will not be publicly available. However, there will be knowledge within the author's notes on whether or not there were positive or negative critical rolls that had occurred within the chapter. You have been warned. Updates: Mondays & Fridays (Schedule permitting) Typical Chapter Length: (2,000-3,000)

Anchor Points: Age of Heroes
If you had a chance to reset history, knowing what we know now, would you take it? Six years after kicking an alien expeditionary force off the surface of the Earth back to their staging bases in the asteroid belt, and aided by stolen alien technology, the United Terran Republic Navy has finally achieved enough warship production to put the enemy on the run. Despite the facade of unity projected by the Earth's new federal government, deep cracks still lie under the surface that threaten the stability of world peace and the ability to protect humanity with a unified military response. Within this backdrop, the North American Union, now a mere state in the greater union, has created or reopened multiple off-books projects and black sites to house secrets both old and new that would be far too toxic or dangerous to be known to the wider world at such a delicate stage in world history. One of these secrets will draw Captain Henry O'Toole from his comfortable posting with the Jupiter Fleet straight into a world of conspiracies and secrets that could destroy the new, still fragile world order. Captain O'Toole will take command of mankind's first true starship with a secret mission that would be seen as treason by the new federal government. His orders are to use a prototype faster than light drive to travel through dimensions higher than spacetime and ride the expansion of the universe to create an off-books colony solely for the NAU. There are consequences for escaping time's jealous grasp, which instead position them to have a chance to change the course of human history. Fate has called the Indomitable Will and her crew into the Age of Heroes, will they be able to rise to the challenge?
