《LOVEABLE ENEMIES ✓》37.

Taehyung & Jimin were walking in the hallways of the college and it's been so long since the pretty boy attended the classes because he was just so busy with Jungkook & Haeun.
"Where is Jungkook?" Jimin asked.
"Oh, he went to meet his dad." Taehyung answered as they continued walking.
Jimin nodded but then he asked while eyeing the other's neck, "So how was your long drive date???"
"It was very good." Taehyung replied, smiling shyly after recalling the last night.
They made love under the sky, on the mountains, in the tent.
Damn, it was one of the best moments of his life and his boyfriend was so gentle with him.
He snapped out of his thoughts when Jimin spoke up, "I can see that."
The pretty boy furrowed his brow but then he noticed how his best friend was eyeing his neck that was filled with love bites.
"Jeez, Jiminie!" Taehyung said in embarrassment, instantly buttoned up his shirt button to hide his love bites made by his lover.
Jimin started laughing, making fun of the pretty boy who was getting embarrassed but they both halted in their tracks when they heard a very familiar voice, "Hello, darling."
They both exchanged gazes before turning around to look at the person and froze on their spots after seeing that someone.
Jimin stole a glance at his best friend who stood there with big eyes as he saw some ghost.
Jimin looked back at the person and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"I got admission here only for my darling." That someone replied while stealing a glance at the pretty boy who curled his hands into fists and grumbled, "Stop calling me, darling!"
That someone just chuckled.
Jimin stepped towards that someone and said, "Listen Yugyeom if you came here to bother Taehyung then don't even think about it."
ignored Jimin's words as he stepped towards the pretty boy and asked, "Did you miss me babe?"
"No, I didn't, bloody fucker!" Taehyung shouted, glared at him.
Yugyeom clicked his tongue inside his mouth before growling, "I think you're forgetting our past____"
"Don't talk about the past." Taehyung said in a threatening tone, eyes turning red in anger.
Yugyeom didn't say anything, just laughed like a maniac.
Jimin walked to Yugyeom and asked, "Why did you come here? What do you want?"
Yugyeom changed his gaze at Jimin and said, "You want to know what I want huh?"
Jimin nodded his head but gritted his teeth when Yugyeom pinched the pretty boy's bread cheek and said, "I want Taehyung. I want him back in my life as my boyfriend."
Taehyung was about to punch the bastard but Jimin was quick to do that.

"You've got guts to say that even after ruining his image in school! You fucking bastard!" Jimin spat angrily.
Yugyeom controlled his anger as he ignored Jimin and held the pretty boy's hands then said, "Taehyung, I'm very sorry about whatever happened in the past but when you left Busan I realized how much I love you."
Taehyung harshly pulled his hand from the other's grasp and shouted, "Stay away from me, fucker!"
The pretty boy then grabbed his best friend's wrist and said, "Let's go, Jiminie."
Jimin nodded his head as they both started walking but halted in their tracks when Yugyeom spoke up, "I heard you got a boyfriend. What's his name uh? Oh, yeah, Jeon Jungkook."
Taehyung's gorgeous face instantly became pale after hearing his boyfriend's name.
Yugyeom stepped towards Vmin, stood in front of him and said with a smirk, "Did you tell him about us? And oh, how would he react after seeing these pictures?"
Yugyeom took out his phone and showed old pictures of him and Taehyung.
Jimin noticed the pale face of his best friend as he groaned then looked back at Yugyeom and growled, "Shut up! Jungkook isn't a narrow minded boy. He lives in Seoul where making boyfriends and girlfriends is normal so don't fucking threaten us!"
"Let's go, Taehyung." Jimin just held his best friend's hand and dragged him away from there.

"Taehyung, stop crying." Jimin said, wiping his best friend's tears as they were standing outside the college.
"W-What i-if Kookie w-will leave m-me because o-of my past?" Taehyung asked while tears were falling from his glorious almond eyes.
Jimin shakes his head, smacks his best friend's head and says in a duh tone, "Yah! It wasn't such a big deal. I mean, Jungkook's past was more horrible than yours. He was a fuck boy."
"B-But what i-if_____"
"Don't think much and just tell everything to Jungkook before he finds out from somewhere else." Jimin suggested, wiping the other's tears with his small hands.
Taehyung was about to speak but a voice interrupted- "Hey, bread!"
They (Vmin) moved their heads and saw the black-haired male coming towards them.
"Hey, what's up— wait— Tae, were you crying?" Jungkook asked with a worried face, moving closer to his boyfriend and noticed tears on the other's bread cheeks.
Taehyung shakes his head in denial, biting his lip and saying, "N-No, I didn't."
"You're such a bad liar. Now tell me who the fuck dare to make my gorgeous bread cry?!" Jungkook asked as he wiped the tears from the other's bread cheeks with the pad of his thumbs.
The pretty boy felt his heart flutter by his boyfriend's action as he parted his lips to speak but Yugyeom interrupted- "Oh, hello!"

Jungkook moved his head, gave a weird look to the other and asked, "Do I know you?"
"No but Taehyung knows me very well." Yugyeom replied with a smug face but gritted his teeth when the black-haired male asked, "Oh, are you his brother or something?"
"What the fuck?! No! I'm not his brother." Yugyeom grumbled angrily, glaring at the black-haired male who laughed before speaking, "Then who the fuck are you? And yeah, don't raise your voice on me or else____"
"See this." Yugyeom got frustrated and just showed their (Taehyung & his) old pictures to the black-haired male.
Jungkook was confused but he felt his blood boil after seeing those pictures.
In one of the pictures, Taehyung was sitting on Yugyeom's lap with a big smile on his gorgeous face and in another picture, Taehyung was kissing Yugyeom's cheek.
Jungkook threw the phone in anger as he just grabbed Yugyeom by his collar and asked angrily, "What the fuck is this?!"
"Why don't you ask the same question to your lovely boyfriend?" Yugyeom asked with a chuckle but winced in pain when the black-haired male punched him on his eye, causing his eye to turn black.
"You fucker! You thought I'll fight with my Tae after seeing these shitty pictures!" Jungkook shouted.
Vmin were standing there, watching everything silently as Jimin leaned forward to the pretty boy and whispered into his ear, "You were stressing without any reason."
Taehyung didn't say anything because he was still stressed.
Jungkook pushed Yugyeom and growled, "Fuck off from here if you don't wanna die from my hands!"
Yugyeom whimpered in pain as he last glanced at the pretty boy and left.
The black-haired male cursed under his breath, shifted his gaze at his gorgeous boyfriend and asked in a serious tone, "Who was he?"
Taehyung gulped in fear because Jungkook was looking damn scary.
"I-I'll tell you everything once w-we go back home." Taehyung stuttered.
"Then let's go because I'm so fucking angry after seeing those pictures and want to know the truth as soon as possible before I lose my temper again." Jungkook said through gritted teeth as the pretty boy nodded slightly.
"Jungkook, look I_____"
"I'm talking with my boyfriend so you don't interfere Jimin. Anyway, we are going. Let's go." Jungkook said in a serious tone, just grabbed his lover's hand and led him towards the car.
He opened the car door for the pretty boy and signaled him to get in as the pretty boy got inside the car. He also got in the car and just drove away, leaving a nervous Jimin behind who was just praying for his best friend.

"Who the fuck was that boy?? And why the fuck were you sitting on his lap? And oh, why the fuck were you kissing his cheek?!" Jungkook asked in an angry tone, looking at his boyfriend with a furious face.
Taehyung, who was sitting on the bed, got scared after seeing the black-haired male's furious face as he flinched hard when his boyfriend yelled at him, "ANSWER ME!"
Tears started to fall from the pretty boy's teary eyes, feeling his heart aching because of his boyfriend's rude behavior as his boyfriend always treats him like a fragile doll and never shouts at him but today he (Jungkook) yelled at him.
Jungkook let out a frustrated groan, ran his fingers through his hair as he grumbled, "Stop crying, Tae!"
Jin, who was passing the black-haired male's room, stopped by after hearing the noises from inside.
He saw the door was already open so he stepped inside only to find Taehyung crying while Jungkook was looking angry. He stepped towards the pretty boy and asked, "Taehyung, why are you crying?"
The pretty boy didn't reply, continued crying and it made the black-haired male annoyed, "Jin Hyung, please tell him to stop crying. It's annoying."
Taehyung looked at his boyfriend with teary eyes and asked, "I-I'm annoying?"
"Right now? Yes." Jungkook replied with a dry chuckle.
The pretty boy got up, opened the other's wardrobe and grabbed his boyfriend's favorite hoodie. He looked back at the black-haired male and asked, "I'm annoying?"
"Yes, you're— w-what the fuck are you doing Tae?!" Jungkook half-yelled yelled when the pretty boy started snorting on his hoodie.
"T-That's my favorite, Tae!" Jungkook said, walked to his pretty boyfriend to stop him but the pretty boy continued snorting on his favorite hoodie.
Jin shakes his head at the couple's childish fight as he got up and shouted just to stop both of them, "Stop it!!"
The pretty boy stopped his movements as he threw the hoodie on his boyfriend and said with a smirk, "Don't call me annoying again."
"It was my favorite hoodie." Jungkook said with a pout.
"Jungkook, you can buy many hoodies." Jin said as he looked at the pretty boy and asked, "Why were you crying Taehyung?"
"He yelled at me." Taehyung replied in a sad tone, fiddling with his fingers.
Jin changed his gaze at the black-haired male and asked, "And why did you yell at him, Jungkook?"
Jungkook let out a small sigh before speaking, "I know I shouldn't have yelled at you but I was just angry. I'm sorry, Tae." He apologized.
"Awwww." Jin said, stretched awww a little too much.
Taehyung didn't say anything, just hugged his boyfriend who hugged back and then Jin decided to leave the couple alone so that they could talk.

Sword System Academia
2/17 NOTICE: I'm putting this on hiatus, possibly permanently. I didn't want to spam with an "update chapter", so hopefully here and in the story blurb will get enough eyeballs. There are a couple reasons for ending SSA for now. 1) I wrote the next chapter but wasn't happy with it. I've been less and less satisfied with SSA's quality the more I thought about it. Part of the reason is... 2) I am seriously thinking about trying to publish some novels to help pay the bills, since I don't have my other source of income anymore. I have never asked for anything from SSA readers, no money, not even a review or rating. SSA is written for fun to amuse myself, primarily, and I would kind of feel bad actually charging someone money for something as unserious as that. I don't think it is good enough to ask anything in return. To use an analogy from music, SSA is more like a jam session with a bunch of friends. You're just chiling and having fun playing some music. I mean, if you are Mozart or even Eminem, your jam session is good enough to sell, but for an amateur beginner like myself, haha, no. If I want to publish something, I feel like I need to go the proper route of practice and rehearsals, which might be more similar to a classical concert performance. With SSA, I work from worldbuilding notes and a loose outline, but what you are essentially getting is the first draft with lots of so-called pantsing. Pushing out a web novel like this also means it is very difficult to go back and improve things without breaking everything else downstream. I wanted to try this "jamming" approach, as it was a good way to teach me about another aspect of writing, but to move forward, I think I need to hone my "classical" techniques, which emphasize rewriting, or at least, revising outlines. 3) While I intend to try to make $$$, my actual current goal is to "get gud". I've spent a lot of time recently trying to understand the self-publishing industry, and I'm pretty sure I can make some money by using short-term strategies with my current amateur skill level. But I've seen too many authors come and go/burnout, and really, the only way that I think I can enjoy writing and still make money on a long-term basis is to become a better writer. And the next step for me, which I haven't done much before, is to spend more time on rewriting and outlines. That is pretty much antithetical to the way SSA is developing. I've always been kind of 20/80 plotting/pantsing, but I want to spend a lot more time outlining before I even start writing. SSA jam sessions don't really fit my goal anymore. If you're curious about what's next, read on... Among other regrets, I regret not finishing SSA. It's the first story I've dropped, but then again, it's the first web novel I've attempted, so I suppose that's not a surprise. I don't think traditional web novel formats suit me that well. The whole SSA story I had loosely planned (beyond a first book or major arc) is way too large as well. Big story = good for neverending webnovel with Patreons, bad for penniless and fickle writer like me. I am currently outlining a complete trilogy to another story in great detail. I want the story to end concisely, and I also want the chance to really spend a lot of time on the full outline to spot pacing problems, character issues, lost themes, and so on. I'll still share this story on RR. What I intend to do is finish book 1, flash-publish the whole thing here for a few weeks, then publish on the big Zon. Repeat for books 2 and 3. The upcoming story will be about crafting heroes. The backdrop is an isekai-like setting, where elves will summon humans to their world as heroes, but the whole hero crafting business is still in its infancy. The elven mage researchers are figuring out how to imbue heroes with power, while the heroes are trying to figure out how to use the powers that they gain. Humans are the best hero templates because they are blank and have no intrinsic magic. Or at least that what the elves thought. The human MC has his own secrets... There will be some similarities with litrpgs, but I would call it more a progression fantasy or gamelit story. For example, the stats are very low, at least initially. Say we have a stat called Str. Going from Str = 1 to Str = 2 is a huge deal. Also, going from Dex = 0 to Dex = 1 is an even bigger deal. I guess you could call it a "low-stat litrpg", haha. Also, the heroes won't be gaining stats simply by killing things or leveling up. You can't increase stats arbitrarily, either. There will be rules to how stats can increase, and how they work with each other. The elven mages will be figuring out these rules in order to craft stronger and stronger heroes. Some inspiration will be from cultivation magic systems, but there won't be overt cultivation, at least for now. A theme I really want to explore is the idea of interactions. That includes things like hero crafter vs hero, tactics vs strategy, skill synergies, racial interactions (dwarves, elves, etc), and son. Yeah, so hero crafting. I'm super excited about this project and venturing into publishing. If you want to check out the upcoming story, you can follow my RR author profile to see when it drops here. Finally... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry that SSA is stopping, but I hope at least some of you will find the next story at least as enjoyable, if not more. Thanks to all the readers who gave SSA a shot. Big hug or solid fistbump to all of you, whichever you prefer! I hope this message is not a downer but an upper, because I am psyched!! -purlcray -------------- BLURB: Talen, youngest Master of the Koroi, makes his way to the Empire's capital to salvage his clan's fate. But the bustling city has few opportunities for the traditionalist. For the old sword clans are fading. With the rise of alchemy, gold can purchase strength that ordinarily took years of training to cultivate. Sword artists, once rare and accomplished, are quickly growing in number, especially among the wealthy noble class. Even with such alchemy, though, no one has advanced to the rank of Grandmaster in countless years. Talen's true dream is to walk the path of a sword artist to the very end while fulfilling his clan duties. And then the Swordgeists return, fabled founders of all sword arts, gods who had touched the world long ago and vanished. These myths turned into reality warn of a coming threat. Alongside this warning, they issue an invitation to the Sword System Academy, a path to power beyond the mortal realm. But first, they will hold an entrance exam... Story notes:Sword System Academia blends elements of western and asian fantasy such as xianxia and litrpg. I took parts from different genres I enjoyed and twisted them into my own creation. There will be an explicit system, both of the litrpg kind and the hard(ish) magic kind, but it is embedded within an academic structure that will develop over the course of the story. This is my attempt to design a unique type of system, the System Academia.
