《Seventeen One-Shots》-5- S.Coups Revised
Advertisement
You sat in your room, blaring music, studying for a college entrance exam. You had been secluding yourself from everyone...even your parents.
There was a knock on your door but you ignored it.
The knocking got louder.
You only blocked it out more.
"(Y/n)! Open up!" You heard a familiar voice and smiled largely. "No! You're gonna distract me!" You laughed, opening your bedroom door to reveal your long term crush of 4 excruciatingly long and painful years.
He smiled at you largely and hugged you tightly. "I haven't seen you in a week. What's the deal?" He asked, plopping onto your bed. "I've been studying...a lot." You said simply, avoiding looking at Seungchol sprawled out on your bed.
You have liked Seungchol since y'all got paired up for a biology assignment your 1st year of high school. Shortly afterwards, y'all became good friends. Then...somehow, thanks to your lack of knowledge of the opposite sex, you became his wing woman and got him a girlfriend your 2nd year of high school. They've been together ever since and you have been shamefully awaiting the day she gets tired of him.
"How does your girlfriend feel about you seeking off to visit me?" You asked, sitting down at your desk. "What girlfriend?" You heard your bed creak as he sat up and you heard total animosity in his voice. You got wide eyed and turned to face him. "Y'all broke up?" You were in between feeling bad for him and feeling good for yourself. "Yeah...She decided that I wasn't good enough for her anymore. She said I tried to hard to be funny, I smothered her with to much attention, worried to much...I was to jealous and secretive. Also...she looked through my phone and didn't like that I sent you good morning texts 3 minutes before her." He counted everything off on his fingers.

You thought that was ridiculous.
"Do you need anything?" You asked sympathetically. "A hug would be great." He stood up and you walked towards him with open arms. As you got closer, you noticed tears welling up in his eyes. You hugged him tightly, wrapping your arms around his neck. He wrapped his around your waist and began weeping into your shoulder.
He cried for half an hour and you let him. Hell...you started crying with him. He sniffled and pulled away. "I'm sorry... I shouldn't have taken you away from your studying...I just wanted...needed to see you." He wiped away his tears. "No need to be sorry. If you ever need anything at all...do not hesitate to talk to me." "Can I just hang out for a little while?" He asked, hope taking the place of his tears. You smiled softly and nodded. "If you keep the pestering to a minimum...then sure. This test is super important...but so are you." You sat down at your desk and picked up your pencil.
You felt Seungchol's strong arms wrap around your shoulders and his head rest on top of yours. "Thanks. I love you." He said simply and flopped back into your bed.
You weren't sure how to respond to that so you just sat at your desk smiling like an idiot the rest of the afternoon.
Long story short...you would've failed your test if your guessing skills weren't on point.
Just a little update on my health...I am feeling way better. I didn't end up going to the doctor and my headaches have stopped. I still have a stiffness in my neck but that's probably from sleeping with to many pillows tbh.

Old Riding Author Lunatic Asylum
Just off the A19, in the dark, incomprehensible lands known as Yorkshire, there lies a town. A town where shadow-silent alleys glint with the secret hunger of knives. Where blood soaks the chipboard window shutters of forsaken terraces stretching off into the night. Where the smog-choked air rattles with the depraved laughter echoing out from clubs that can only generously be described as post-apocalyptic. Well, that’s Middlesbrough. But down the A19 a bit (an impossibly long way down, actually) there lies another town: Raughnen, in the ancient, forgotten Old Riding. It is an equal match in muggery and thuggery alike. It also has magic spells and pointy wizard hats. And now, across the miles and across all sensibilities, a pretty nasty power (a magic one) calls out for its pretty nasty counterpart (a decidedly unmagic one): a proper sound Boro lad. Nothing good can come of it. This is a collection of one novella and four connected short stories: I. A Yorkshire Summoning II. Old Riding Day Trip (the novella) III. Heaven is a Parmo IV. Death on the 66 V. Death on the 257 In total, this comprises 34 chapters totalling around 35,000 words, so try not to worry. It will be over relatively quickly. There are three more short stories with more tenuous links to the core collection: Rush, Paper Round and Scenario 79: Sausage Fingers, all of which can be found in my collection Short Records of Misadventure. Reading these may allow you to make more sense of certain parts of the story, if any sense is to be made at all. NOTE: There are instances of prejudice and discrimination within these stories, including elements of sexism and ageism, which are purely the thoughts and actions of the characters involved and which certainly do not reflect my own views on these matters. ANOTHER NOTE; A WARNING, PERHAPS: This can get a bit weird. In less than 150 pages, we have four viewpoints, first and third person narratives, and a completely disjointed plot with lots of gaps, dead ends and no real resolution. Also ZERO lunatic asylums. It's all a bit odd. If that sort of thing isn't your cup of tea, which it most likely isn't, it might be best to move on now.
