《Finding Sunshine (Sope)》35

I really need some advice.
Yoongi couldn't decide if he was relieved or not that the text he had received was not from Hoseok. It was from Jin. There he was, sitting alone at a table for his lunch break, torn between opposing feelings. He really wanted a response from Hoseok. However, he was also super nervous and scared to see what Hoseok might text back. What if Hoseok didn't want to talk to him? That was something that really scared Yoongi.
About what?
There was only one thing that would cause Jin to ask for advice right now, and Yoongi knew that, but he wanted to get Jin to say it. There was nothing for several minutes. Yoongi started to think that Jin wasn't going to text back. He shifted his gaze out the nearby window for a moment before his attention was pulled back to his phone when it vibrated.
Jin
I need advice about my situation with Jimin.
Yoongi
Just talk to him.
You two need to work this out.
Jin
Just copying the advice given to you about Hoseok?
Yoongi stared at that text and let out a heavy sigh. He knew he needed to talk to Hoseok. He had reached out. Unintentionally, but still, an effort was made.
Yoongi
I texted him, Hyung.
Jin
You did?
Really?
Yoongi
Yeah.
Now you should talk to Jimin.
Come here.
Jin
Would that be a good idea?
Yoongi
Would you rather go to his house?
Or have him go to your house?
Jin
Fine.
I'll come by there tomorrow.
Yoongi
Should I tell Jimin?
Jin
No.
Yoongi
Okay.
Just don't chicken out.
Jin
I won't.
Yoongi
Good.
See you tomorrow.
"Who're you texting?" Jimin so-nosily asked. When Yoongi slipped his phone into his pocket without an answer, he knew."Jin-hyung, huh? You think he's gotten over it yet?"

That choice of words seemed peculiar to Yoongi."Gotten over it? Like it's something he could easily forget?"
Jimin shrugged his shoulders so simply."Well, I mean, it's not like we can go back and change it. It's done. He needs to move on from it."
"He needs to move on?" Yoongi wasn't liking how this was sounding."You've already moved on from it?"
"Yeah." It had been easy for Jimin to move on from that. So he didn't see why Jin was still unnerved about it."We had sex. So what? We were drunk. That sort of thing happens. There's no use in dwelling on it. It's not like it meant anything."
It's not like it meant anything.
It meant everything to Jin-hyung! Yoongi hated this."Jimin, why do you even like Jungkook?"
"What's with this question all of a sudden?" Jimin didn't even know what would cause Yoongi to ask that.
"Just answer." This was not looking good to Yoongi. Not at all.
Jimin stuffed his hands into his pockets."He's hot."
Yoongi perked an eyebrow."And?"
"And what?" Jimin cocked his head just a little to the side."No and. Just that. He's hot."
"What about his personality?" Yoongi was really hoping to prove wrong the thoughts he was having."Doesn't his personality interest you at all?"
"No. Not really." Jimin was confused about these questions. He didn't know why Yoongi would suddenly start asking him these things."What's this about, Yoongi-hyung?"
This was troubling. Yoongi didn't like this one bit."Is this a result of you hanging around Namjoon too much? Or have you always been like this, and I'm just finally seeing it?"
"What are you talking about?" Jimin didn't understand.

Standing from his seat, Yoongi narrowed his eyes at Jimin."Appearance is all that matters to you, isn't it? You don't give a shit about anyone's personality. So long as they're attractive enough, you swoon over them. You don't really like Jungkook for who he is. You just like how attractive he is." This was pissing him off."And you never paid a bit of attention to Jin-hyung until recently because you weren't getting anywhere with Jungkook." He clenched his hands into fists by his sides."Jimin, you're fucking shallow."
Jimin's eyes widened just a little and for only a second before he frowned at his manager."Is it really that bad for me to like attractive people?"
"No, but it's bad for you to only care about looks and not give a shit about what's on the inside." It was quickly getting more and more difficult for Yoongi to refrain from punching Jimin."Jungkook is such a good person. He's caring and sweet. He is nice to everyone. And Jin-hyung is wonderful. He's protective of the people close to him and does everything he can to make sure his friends are happy and healthy. But to you, none of that matters. To you..." Yoongi was getting increasingly upset about this."To you, they're just handsome shells. Good on the outside, but nothing on the inside matters."
Letting out a huff, Jimin really didn't like the way Yoongi was talking to him, no matter how true his words were."So what? If I hook up with a man, I want him to be really attractive. Is that a crime?"
"You slept with my best friend, Jimin, and you're acting like it was nothing." Yoongi had enough of this. He was getting too angry."Go back to work. We'll discuss this some other time."
"Whatever, Hyung. I really don't see a reason for this discussion anyway." Not liking the way Yoongi had been talking to him, Jimin just turned and walked away. He could tell Yoongi was mad, but he honestly didn't see much of a problem with the way he acted. Though, maybe he could understand that Yoongi was being protective of his best friend.
Yoongi knew he should have controlled his temper a little better, but it had really upset him to finally see how shallow Jimin was. With that type of attitude, he doubted there was any way Jin could ever be with Jimin. Maybe Jin was as blind to Jimin's shallowness as Yoongi had previously been. But now Yoongi saw that shallowness. Maybe seeing that would be the thing that could help Jin get over his pointless crush.

Flame Beneath The Snowfall
Alto is a world governed by Tones. Magic, as one might call it. Manifested through deep mental and physical conditioning, one can control the Tones in a way that is unique to them. The power to store items in gems, transfer life, affect a person's mind, and even the more primal abilities such as control of the elements. Those who have these supernatural abilities are called 'Vassals.' People that fully manifest their abilities are not as common as one might think, and not all Vassals acquire their ability through practice, given if conditions are met. In fact, those who had received much trauma manifest the Tones more frequently, albeit spontaneously. However, the rare kind of Vassals are those who manifest it from childhood. A gift, but not without its repercussions. Alto is stuck in a transitional era, where the line between modern and dated technology is blurred. One can travel to a city that has a tall skyline, bustling with people in sophisticated clothing, or a mere town governed by a lord, all the while riding on a powered vehicle. Cultures vary: Some turn to the more dated practices such as castes, others are more inclined to set equal footing on their people, led by nobility. Some are dedicated to become scholars, studying Alto's Tones, while others set foot on hunts, protecting lone towns from the creatures of some of the still-untamed lands. And the Vassals? Those willing are took under The Organization, an elusive group, its presence said to permeate all throughout Alto, taking care of Rogue Vassals that abuse their abilities and other businesses related to their side. But what is this story all about, you may ask? Well, set your sights on the upper portions of this huge landmass that is Alto. Yes, the 'whole' world is called Alto, but that is because the majority of the known people live on this large continent. Relieve yourself of the worrying tensions everywhere, and see the white snow. Trace the piercing mountaintops and focus your eyes between the valley. A town sits there. Mido. After realizing that the memories only left in his mind was the night of his town's imminent destruction in flames, a boy finds himself grasping for every fiber of his life as he lays down flat on the ground. Beneath him was soot mixed with the white snow. Fortunately, a group of investigators, who were supposed to answer their call for help, saved him from his sorry state. With a newfound second wind, but hampered by his loss of memory, he must solve his own case: Who had the audacity to set Mido, his town, aflame? Flame Beneath the Snowfall focuses on action, with a sense of adventure, but mostly the discovery of an outside world, and the protagonist's exposure to it. Add in a whisk of soft magical elements, and you get a story that I hope will be interesting to the readers. That is not to say that my work is without the sense of unnerving atmosphere, however. As a forewarning, there are elements of gore, horror, minor elements of mental trauma, etc. so it is not for all audiences. *The book is already completed. Although I have plans to continue the story (it would have to involve much larger scope in terms of world-building), I have yet to decide when to start the next entry.

To Blunt The Sharpest Claw
The Velvet Paw of Asquith Novels are a series of New Fable genre novels that involve cats and dogs and high adventure and romance and espionage and food-fights and hotels and explosions and car chases. With large casts, exotic locations and an absurdity only possible in the absence of human characters, the Velvet Paw of Asquith Novels blend Wind in the Willows with James Bond, though with more cafes and fewer badgers. This submission is the third title in its Morigan Trilogy, beginning two-thirds of the way through the series' longest adventure yet. Here's a quick recount of what's happened so far: When Oscar Teabag-Dooven, a Velvet Paw of Asquith, is ordered to investigate how a mysterious poet, the Ar'dath-Irr, is able to travel instantaneously around the world, two very bad things happen. Firstly, he meets Lydia, an insane librarian who punches everyone in the face, and secondly, the Ar'dath-Irr reveals he is intent on taking over the world. Although this second thing might be considered worse than the first, Oscar feels differently following Lydia’s destruction of a cafe, a library and his face in one afternoon. In comparison, thwarting world domination just seems easier. Along with Binklemitre, a fellow Velvet Paw of Asquith, and Lydia, Oscar infiltrates the Ar’dath-Irr’s realm of dark poetry to discover the dog not only intends wrenching the world apart but has no intention of cleaning up afterwards. As a result, Oscar decides it’s all too hard and goes home to have a bath. After lots of arguing and the sort of food fight that posh restaurants were invented for, Lydia and Binklemitre convince him that they must stop the Ar’dath-Irr for several reasons, one of them quite serious. A vibrant cast of characters collide as Oscar, Lydia and Binklemitre battle the Ar’dath-Irr and his disciples in an adventure involving exploding cafés and appalling hotels, car chases and inadvertent surgery, dreadful poetry, lots of arguments and at least one temper-tantrum, all of which draw the three into dark and convoluted corners of a world they weren’t aware existed. Moreover, any chance of sitting down and discussing things over some buns disappears when Lydia punches the Ar’dath-Irr in the face. This results in her having a psychotic episode and Oscar getting run over by an ambulance. Although Binklemitre suffers neither, he witnesses both, which is almost as dreadful, though not nearly so messy. An enormous battle ensues, followed by a dinner party and then everything explodes.

Immutable
