《Genie - Park Jimin》27 - Bless

Naraes POV
Jimin teased me the whole time while we were cooking.
I even turned around to see him wiping sweat off his chin as he was standing near the oven which must have been hot.
He wiped the sweat off his face with his shirt, exposing his stunning abs and pecks.
But we were now finally finished cooking and we all sat down to eat the stir fried noodles and spicy rice cakes.
Jimin and I sat on one side of the table and my parents were on the other.
We just finished plating up the food when I remembered that Jimin can't eat the proper food he put on his plate.
"Mother, father" I said getting there attention.
"I think there's someone knocking on the front door" I lied to my parents.
There eyes widened as they got up to answer the door.
Quickly I took Jimins food and scrapped it off back into the bowls taking the messy bowl and sticking it on my lap under the table.
Jimin seemed to understand what I was doing and made a replica of the food I just scrapped back into the bowls.
My parents walked back after locking the door.
"No one was there honey" My mother said raising an eyebrow at me.
"Oh. Maybe it was my eyes playing tricks on me" I said to them.
"Or maybe they got the wrong house" Jimin suggested as my parents sat down believing what we said.
"Ah well... Dig in" My mother said warmly and we all started eating.
"So Jimin, are you from Busan?" My father asked him.
God awkward chats between my parents and my crush, how awkward could things get...
"I believe so, I have lived here all my life at least" He answered honestly before taking another mouthful of food.
"Do you have a job?" My mother asked.

I cut Jimin off before he could answer.
"Ma~ That is rude to ask" I hissed.
"I wasn't asking to take his money Narae. I was just curious. I mean if you both get together I need to know my daughter will have enough money" My mother said trying to clear up what she said.
"Jimin you don't need to answer that question" I said.
I saw Jimin sigh in relief because we both knew that the only job he has ever had was being a kpop idol as well as having the duty as being a genie which isn't something he gets paid for.
"Do you have siblings?" My father asked him.
"Yes. I have a younger brother" he said smiling.
"You get on well with him?" My father continued.
"Yes I do sir" He said before taking another mouthful.
"Well you both are welcome around here anytime" My mother said.
"Ah- Thank you" Jimin said his voicing breaking slightly.
I held his hand under the table because I know having them mention his family likely was hard to hear.
"So where are you taking Narae?" My mother asked Jimin waving her eyebrows.
"Are we allowed to know?" She added.
I looked at him waiting for his response.
"Ah it's a surprise for Narae but I don't mind telling you both when she goes to get dressed" Jimin said to my parents.
"Ooo, alright~" My mother said smiling.
"But weren't you going to help me decide what to wear?" I asked him.
"Already chosen for you. The clothes are on your bed" Jimin said looking at me then eating some spicy rice cake.
"Oh. Thanks" I said returning to my own food.
"Jimin you must not bring her back later then a maximum of 10:00pm" My father said and Jimin nodded.

"Of course, I don't think we will be out that late" Jimin said as we both finished our meals.
"Good" My father said putting his head down to eat his food.
However when he did my mother also looked down so I took the opportunity to place Jimin's real plate back on the table so that when my mother goes to grab it, she will be able to actually pick it up.
Jimin made the plate he actually used disappear as my parents looked back up seeing movement.
I stood up to distract what we just did with the plates.
"Um, I'm going to get dressed" I said awkwardly having everyone's eyes on me.
My parents nodded and continued to eat.
"Don't be mean to Jimin while I'm gone" I said to them while heading towards the stairs.
"We won't" My dad said as I headed up the stairs.
I walked up the stairs and into my room.
I could hear muffled voices however I wasn't sure what they were saying.
I locked my bedroom door and then turned around seeing a beautiful dress float out of the wardrobe and into my hands.
I smiled so widely seeing the beautiful dress before me.
It was a summery white dress with floral prints all over it and a split which can show off my legs.
I also grabbed some cute tanned heals which went well with my tanned skin and I curled my long dark hair while pushing my glasses up on my nose.
I walked in the bathroom to do my make up.
Then I heard a knock on my main bedroom door before someone entered and headed towards the bathroom where I put foundation on and started to colour in my eyebrows.
"Narae?" I heard Jimin ask as he sounded as though he stopped before the bathroom.
"Yes?" I hummed as I picked up some natural lipstick.
"May I come in?" He asked me.
I looked at my appearance in the mirror and smiled.
My hair flowed over my bare shoulders, my make up was perfect and the dress Jimin chose for me to wear... god I looked so good.
"Yes you may" I said turning to face Jimin before he walked in.
His eyes scanned me as he saw me.
His mouth fell open.
"Holy shit" He exclaimed looking at me.
I smiled as my eyes looked at what Jimin wore.
He wore a white button up shirt with pictures of people on it as well as words.
He also wore tight fitting black jeans and some black fancy shoes.
He had two cute golden hoops in either ear and his blue hair was parted slightly flopping over a shaved underneath layer of hair.
"Damn you look good" I said without any filter.
Jimin smirked at me.
"Thank you. However I think I am going to have to have your hand in mine at all times because there is going to be so many people looking at you" He said walking closer to me.
"Jimin I'm not everyone's type" I said as he put his hands on my thin waist.
"Maybe not, but you surely are gorgeous to look at" Jimin said looking into my eyes.
I blushed and bit my bottom lip turning away from looking back into his eyes.
However I knew his eyes were still on me.
I looked back at him and smiled.
"You may be my genie but you more look like prince Aladdin to me" I said to him.
"And why is that?" He asked me.

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.
