《Chasing The Bad Boy (J.JK ♥ S.CY)》Dinner
Advertisement
I Was Having A Hard Time To Breathe As I Stared At JK..AKA..Jungkook In Front Of Me. To Make Things Worse, He Was Just As Shocked As I Was. So Seconds Passed And I Actually Gawked At Him Like A Moron. Yes, I Gawked At Him. I Couldn't Help It. He Was Only Covered By A Towel For Goodness' Sake! So I Took The Opportunity Of Seeing My Future Husband Half-Naked. I Didn't Think He Noticed Anyway Because He Looked Like He Was Contemplating Things. After A Moment Or So, He Broke The Silence.
"If You Wanted To See Me Half-Naked, You Could Just Have Asked Me Instead Of Stalking Me In My House."
My Eyes Widened When He Said That. Me? Stalking? Psh, I Would Never Stalk A Guy. Like...Psh... Okay, Fine. I Stalked A Lot Of People In My Life But I Wasn't Stalking Them. I Was Just Following Them, Spying Them And Stuff. That's Not Stalking! Besides, I Didn't Follow Him Intentionally. I Didn't Know He's Dahyun's Brother!
"You Can Stop Gawking, You Know?" He Stated More Than Asked. He Crossed His Arms Over His Chest, His Dripping Wet Yummy Chest.
I Finally Spoke. "Sorry To Burst Your Bubble But I Wasn't Stalking You! Like Psh!" I Waved My Hand Dismissively.
"Then What Are You Doing In My House, Specifically In My Room?" He Had That Smug Look On His Face Again.
"Just To Inform You, I Came Here With Dahyun!" I Crossed My Arms Over My Chest.
He Looked Taken Aback And Stared At Me From Head To Toe. I Felt Like Shrinking From His Gaze. It Was Like He Was Judging Me Or Something. And I Was Sure That He Was Thinking That I Was Overdressed. I Know Normal Girls Wear Pants. But I Don't Like Wearing Pants. It's Just Not Me. I Love Wearing Dresses Because I'm Girly. But If I Really Had To Wear Pants, I Do. I Mean There Are Places When You Can't Wear Pants. I Don't Know What Place Because I Wear Dresses Anywhere I Go.
"So You're The Great Heiress, Son Chaeyoung." He Smirked.
For Some Reason, I Felt Like That Comment Was Said As An Insult. And I Suddenly Realized I Was Being Mean To Him. I Was Panicking Inside. Shit! What If We Became Enemies Because I Was Talking Back? But If I Tried To Be Sweet, He Might Think Of Me As An Easy Girl. What Should I Do? Act Like A Mean Girl And Play Hard To Get Or Be Sweet And Seductive? I Thought Hard About It Then I Finally Came To One Easy Solution. I Would Act Like My Usual Self Around A Guy I Like.
"Yes, I'm Son Chaeyoung." I Smiled At Him. He Looked Like He Was Confused Of The Sudden Change Of My Actions.
"That Must Be Why You Look Familiar."
I Was Clueless For A Moment. "Huh?"
"You Know, You're Always In The News. Like ALWAYS. It's Ridiculous How You End Up In The Headlines Just Because You Went To A Party In A Club Or You Walked Around The Park."
He Walked To His Closet And Opened It.
"Oh. It's Not Like I Can Control The Paparazzi Or The Media For Making Everything I Do A Big Deal."
"Of Course, You Can't. So.... Why Are You Snooping Around In My Room?"
Just When I Was Starting To Think He's Nice, He Had To Ruin It By That Question. And So Ladies And Gentlemen, Mr. Hot Egotistical Jerk Is Back. Let's Give Him A Round Of Applause And Kissed The Ground He Walked On. *Clap* *Clap*. He Should Be Thankful That I Was Drooling Over His Hot Body Or I Would Have Smacked His Head. No One Dared To Talk To Me That Way. And I Wouldn't Let Anyone Get Away With Talking To Me Like That.... Only Him Because He's My Future Husband. I Must Be Forgiving Wife That Would Teach Him A Lesson So Our Future Kids Wouldn't Pick Up His Attitude.

"I Wasn't Snooping. I Was Looking For You."
He Turned Around To Look At Me. I Tried Hard To Keep My Eyes On His Face, Away From His Yummy Abs. He Walked Towards Me And I Backed Away Until I Realized I Had My Back Pressed Against The Wall. As I Was About To Escape, He Put His Both Hands On The Wall, Trapping Me
We Were So Close To Each Other. I Was Hyperventilating. He Leaned To Me, Our Lips Just An Inch Away From Each Other. I Could Tell That He Was About To Kiss Me Because He Closed His Eyes. I Didn't Close My Eyes In Case It Was A Trick To Humiliate Me. I Just Watched Him Getting Closer And Closer And.......
The Door Bust Open With Dahyun Looking From Me To JK/Jungkook Then Back To Me. We Stood There Frozen. There Were Lots Of Emotions That Crossed Dahyun's Face; Surprise, Confusion, Happiness Then Concern. Wait, What? Concern?
JK/Jungkook Walked Away From Me, Leaving Me Flustered.
"I Went Here Because You Guys Were Taking Too Long." Dahyun Explained But Jungkook And I Remained Silent.
Dahyun Took A Deep Breath. "C'mon, Chaeyoung. Let's Leave JK So He Can Put On His Clothes."
She Grabbed My Wrist And Dragged Me Away From His Room And Then Shut The Door Once We Stepped Out Of It. She Continued Walking Then Brought Me To The Other Room.
"What Was That?" Dahyun Asked, Her Voice Was Incredulous.
"Dahyun.... I Have A Confession To Make."
She Looked At Me Warily But Nodded, Urging Me To Go On.
"Dahyun, Remember The Guy I Told You I Was In Love With? I Asked Her.
Realization Crossed Her Face. It's My Brother!" She Gasped And I Nodded.
"Is That Why You Wanted Me To Visit My Family?" There Was No Hint Of Accusation In Her Tone, Just Mere Curiosity.
"No, I Didn't Know He's Your Brother. I Thought His Name's Jeon Jungkook!"
"Yes, His Name Is Jeon Jungkook."
"Then Why Do You Guys Call Him JK?" I Asked Her.
"He's Name Is Jungkook, We Call Him JK For Short, We Never Called Him By His Last Name Because He Couldn't Pronounce Jungkook When He Was Younger. He Could Only Pronounce JK."
I Put Two And Two Together. JK Is Jeon Jungkook. I Was So Stupid! How Could I Not Think Of That? I've Always Known That Dahyun's First Name Is Jeon. It Was No Coincidence That They Share The Same First Name And Live In The Same Small Town. I Should Have Realized That They Were Somewhat Related. But They Don't Look Alike So I Never Thought Of That. Ugh! Jimin Was A Lousy Investigator. How Could He Found Out That He's The Jungkook I Was Looking For But He Didn't Find Out That Jungkook Is Dahyun's Brother? He's So Gonna Feel My Wrath.
"But How Come You Didn't Find Out That He's My Brother? I Thought You Asked Jimin To Do Some Spy Stuff?" She Asked.
"Well, Apparently, Jimin Did A Lousy Job."
She Chuckled Then Looked Concern Again.
"Chaeyoung, You Know How Much I Love You. You're Like A Sister To Me So I Think I Should Warn You. My Brother.... He's Not Your Ideal Type Guy. He's A Heartbreaker. Everything Is Just A Game For Him. He Doesn't Take Girls Seriously. I'm Saying These Things Because I Don't Want My Brother To Hurt You." She Held My Hands In Hers.
"I Understand It, Dahyun. But It Doesn't Matter. I'm Madly In Love With Your Brother. I Don't Care If He'll Play With My Heart. Anyway, It's Not Like I'm Going To Let Him Play With It. I Guarantee You He'll Fall In Love With Me." I Smiled And I Knew My Eyes Sparkled As I Said Those Things.

"Chaeyoung, If You Two End Up With Each Other.... We're Not Rich. I Don't Think He Can Give You The Luxuries You're Used To. I Don't Think He Can Give You The Kind Of Love You Lived."
"Dahyun, I Don't Care About The Money. I Can Forget About Everything As Long As I Have Him."
She Smiled As I Said That.
"Well, I Already Warned You. But If You Really Love Him Then Go For It. You Got My Support."
I Grinned. "Will You Help Me With Him?"
"I'll Do What I Can But No Promises."
I Nodded.
"Wait, Will You Wait For Me? I Want To Call Jimin."
She Smirked And Nodded.
I Dialed Jimin's Number. The Phone Rung Twice Before He Answered.
"Hello, Ms. Chaeyoung?"
"Jimin!"
"What Have I Done Wrong, Ms. Chaeyoung?"
"You're Really Asking Me That? How Did You Find Out Who's The Jungkook I'm Looking For?"
"Well, When I Search For Guys With The Name Jungkook In The Town, There Were At Least 50 Of Them. But 10 Of Them Are Babies. 30 Are Kids. 5 Are Old Men. Then There Were 5 Left. They're All Teenage Guys. But There's One Who Stood Out Because He Looked Like Your Type. So I Figured It Was Him."
"Great Job But How Come You Didn't Find Out That He's Dahyun's Brother?"
"What?!"
"Yeah, You Heard Me Right. Expect My Punishment Soon, Jimin. We Would Talk Longer About His Abs."
I Almost Saw Him Shuddering As I Said That. I Rolled My Eyes Then Hung Up. Dahyun Looked At Me, Smiling.
We Went Downstairs And Headed To The Kitchen. Wendy Was Waiting Patiently There. Jungkook Was Seating Beside Dahyun, In Front Of Me. We Took Are Seats And I Discreetly Glanced At Jungkook. Unfortunately He Was Staring At Me So He Caught Me Glancing At Him. He Snickered While I Blushed From Embarrassment Of Getting Caught. There Was An Awkward Silence In The Air. I Felt Like It Was Because Of Me And Jungkook. It Was Obvious That Wendy Knew Something's Up Between Me And Jungkook Because She Was Staring At Us With An Evil Glint In Her Eyes. It's Not 'The I Know Something's Up' Stare. It Was More Like 'You Guys Are Caught And I'm Planning Something Evil' Stare. She Smiled At Me Knowingly. I Fidgeted In My Seat Nervously. I Focused On Listening To The Rain That Was Pouring Hard Outside. There Was A Loud Thunder. Dahyun Started A Conversation With Wendy. I Wasn't Really Listening. Jungkook Wasn't Listening Either. He Would Just Glance At Them Then Nod If They Asked Him A Question. I Don't Think He Even Knew What They're Asking Him. He Just Nodded His Head Nevertheless. To My Surprise, In The Middle Of Their Conversation, Wendy Turned To Me.
"So, Chaeyoung. You Got A Boyfriend?" Wendy Asked, Smiling. Jungkook Looked At Me, His Expression Was Blank.
I Looked At Her Questioningly Before Answering. "No, I Don't."
"That's Good. So What's The Type Of A Guy Do You Like?"
"I Don't Really Have A Particular Type.... Any Type Would Do. I Mean, It's Not Like I Can Choose Who I'd Fall In Love With."
They Smiled In Response.
Dinner Went On With Wendy And Dahyun Talking About A Random Stuff. When We Finished Dinner, I Tried To Help Cleaning Up The Table But Wendy And Dahyun Refused To Let Me Help. They Told Me Jungkook Was Supposed To Be Cleaning Up The Table And He Did. Dahyun, Wendy And I Seated On The Couch In The Living Room. I Was Trying To Call Hoseok But He's Out Of Reach. The Rain Hasn't Stopped Yet.
"Chaeyoung, I Don't Think It's Safe For You To Go Home. It's Late And It's Raining Hard Outside." Wendy Told Me.
"Ugh, I Can Call The Driver To Pick Us Up."
"That Won't Work. There Would Surely Be A Traffic Jam. Your Driver's Going To Have A Hard Time Driving Here. Why Don't You Stay For The Night Instead?" She Asked But I Don't Think She Would Take 'No' For An Answer. The Looked On Her Face Said It All.
"Oh..... Okay. Are You Sure It's Okay With You?" I Asked.
"Of Course, We Don't Have A Spare Room Though. Dahyun And I Will Sleep On The Same Bed."
"It's Okay. I Can Sleep On The Couch Or--"
"Don't Talk Nonsense! You're A Lady; You Wouldn't Sleep On The Couch. You're Going To Share A Room With JK." She Smiled Knowingly Again.
Then It Hit Me.
She's Setting Me Up With Jungkook. She Knows That I Have A Thing For Her Son. I Was That Obvious? She And Dahyun Glanced At Each Other And They Both Giggled Like School Girls. They Knew That I Figured Out What Was Happening. Well, I Would Never Say 'No' To An Opportunity. So I Nodded My Head, Trying To Looked Nonchalant. But Deep Inside, I Was Giddy With Excitement. Their Stares Said 'Go Get Him Girl' And That Was What I'm Planning To Do. Wendy Called Jungkook And He Walked Into The Living Room. He Looked At Her Curiously.
"Your Sister And Chaeyoung Can't Go Home Because Of The Storm."
"And What's That Supposed To Do With Me?" He Asked.
"Chaeyoung's Sleeping In Your Room."
"Mom! I'm Not Going To Sleep In The Couch. It Hurts My Back." He Looked Like A Little Boy Whining.
"You're Not Going To Sleep On The Couch Silly. You'll Just Share Your Bed With Chaeyoung."
"What?!" He Looked Surprise.
"Aren't You Supposed To Keep Us Away From Each Other Because We Might Do Something?" He Asked Incredulously.
"Yes, But I Trust You Two Not To Touch Each Other.... Intimately."
"Mom!" He Actually Blushed From Embarrassment. Dahyun And I Just Watched The Whole Exchange Trying To Hide Our Smiles.
"No Arguments Here, Mister."
He Looked At Wendy, Dahyun And Me Like He Was Figuring Things Out.
"Whatever." He Said Then Walked Upstairs.
When We Heard The Door Close, Wendy Turned To Look At Me.
"Don't Mind Him. I'm Sure He Enjoyed The Idea Of You Sleeping With Him. And Although I Approve Of You As My Future Daughter-In-Law, I Don't Want You Doing Stuff With Him Under My Roof. Are We Clear?" She Tried To Look Stern But Failed.
"Thanks Wendy." I Walked To Her And Hugged Her. She Hugged Me Back.
"I Assume You're Going To Shower Before You Sleep."
I Nodded.
Dahyun Suddenly Smiled. "I Have Some Clothes. I'll Give Them To You Later With Spare Toothbrush, Extra Blankets And Pillow."
"Okay, Thanks Dahyun And Wendy." I Smiled.
It Was Going To Be A Long Night.

Dungeon Core Chat Room.
This is a slower-paced "experiment and dungeon building" web novel that tries to use the idea of peer-to-peer communication with Dungeon Cores instead of Dungeon to slave monster communication to break up the detailed dungeon building. Rank 1 description: (minimum met for system initialization...detailed description as follows) Each race was given a system by the gods to make up for their shortcomings and balance their place in this world. Humans: Abysmally bad at understanding and using magic unable to use more than the lowest of magic were given the "Skill System" magic in the form of premade skills with use, study, and mastery tied to experience. Elves: Intuitively understand magic and have long lives leading to vast knowledge and skill in their chosen fields. However, as a species, they have nearly zero sex drive and less than low fertility, so they were gifted the "World Tree System" with experience gained through the care of natural areas – gifting the chance of children to increase their numbers without dirty copulation. All “natural” or “wild” monsters are given an "Evolution system" designed around killing and consuming as many creatures as possible, slowly increasing strength and, at thresholds, allowing mutations to alter them multiple times. Dungeon cores are different. Unlike humans, they can see, manipulate and live off mana. Unlike Elves, they naturally crystallize after extended periods of time in high mana level areas. However, they cannot easily move or communicate and typically go insane without companionship. As a species other than the odd eccentric they are unimaginative. Brute forcing solutions without the drive to truly innovate. Thus they have been gifted with the "Dungeon Connection System" a magical version of the internet accessible by their peers that allows them to barter and sell: bait, traps, monsters, and knowledge, as well as entertain each other with “adventure streams” using exciting recorded battles and humorous reels of arrogant chumps biting off more than they can chew to often fatal effects. This is the casual story of a dungeon unluckily spawned far from potential adventurers forced to innovate beyond its peers to find its place in this world. Rank 2 Description: Justification. I've been on a dungeon core kick for months and while I love the genre – it's sparse with entries. Often the forced conflict gets repetitive and frantic solving of threats "power levels" the protagonist to god levels to progress the plot – taking away the nice steady progression fantasy I'm looking for. (Progression in this story is linked to how strong of monsters/traps/whatever he can create not his "level"...this is demonstrated by some of his newer monsters beating his older monsters not with discrete "this monster has 10 attack this one has 40") Additionally, the focus on 3rd parties with their drama takes away from the reason I’m reading dungeon core novels in the first place – I'm looking for magical crafting, experimentation and kingdom building – not defence from higher and higher levelled enemies looking to steal/destroy/control the MC. This novel is kind of just me writing the story I wish I could read. I like thinking about the experimentation that can be done in fantasy settings using 'mana' as an excuse to make up rules and try to keep them internally consistent. IE once I define how a rule works, I'm going to commit to keeping it – no breaking hard truths I've given when it's convenient, even if it backs me into a corner. Hopefully, that should make the story interesting to read even if it's SOL and less action-oriented. There will be problems to solve and a clear progression in strength (of created monsters and knowledge) however due to not wanting to force conflict for the sake of conflict the general theme will be closer to slice of life with few action sequences and no overarching goal so please keep that in mind when picking this up as the genre is not for everyone. Finally, I have a clear goal of what I want from this story (not an endless romp but a series of arcs and then a conclusion that's a couple of dozen medium-sized chapters long) I want to commit to finishing it or at least bringing it to a point of rest. I hate all the engaging stories that stop with a “hiatus” indefinitely so in the event I lose motivation I'll work to end this even if the ending becomes rushed/unsatisfying just to give a sense of closure. I’m planning on including several polls in terms of direction and taking feedback heavily into account if I get enough readers (but may choose to ignore it if it deviates too far from the direction I want to take this as in feedback like: “The MC needs a cartoonishly evil arch-enemy that wants to enslave him and force the mc to pump out magic items” or “the MC needs to make a body and learn teleportation then live with humans” will get shot down without consideration.)

MCU Oneshots and Novellas
My back catalogue of shorter MCU fanfiction. Most are focused on Loki, Thor and Odin, but the other Avengers also show up on occasion. 1. Shadows of the Past Yet Loom:Thor thought he had grown out of his childhood stutter long ago, but to his distress, the speech impediment resurfaces shortly after he's crowned as king of Asgard. Loki tries to cheer Thor up. [set between Ragnarok and Infinity War] 2. Another Sleepless Night Thor has brought Loki back to Asgard and Odin has pronounced his sentence – Loki is to spend the rest of his days in the dungeons. That was supposed to be the end of the matter, yet sleep continues to elude Odin. One night, he makes a covert trip down to Loki’s cell. 3. Truths, Lies and Bilgesnipes There are children you can leave unsupervised for an afternoon without courting danger. To Odin's consternation, the two young princes of Asgard are not that kind of children. With Frigga absent and Odin distracted with the minutia of government, Thor and Loki sneak out of the palace on a bilgesnipe hunt. Their short adventure leaves Loki badly injured. But the physical injury is not as potent a force as the secrets Odin is determined to protect or Loki’s desperate need to live up to his father’s expectations. 4. Dear Mr. Thanos The trouble with the universe is that it doesn't want to be balanced. In fact, it requires regular pruning. In the year 2327 the Infinity War is a distant memory and Ariadne Thornton has some questions for the dark spectre that has haunted the universe for the past three hundred years. [post Infinity War, not Endgame compliant] 5. Not A Place But A People For a time, dreams of peace and safety can sustain a people lost in the wilderness. But soon the reality of the situation sinks in – a ship not provisioned for the number of people on board, a culture on the verge of extinction and a shadow spreading further with every passing day.
