Anonymous asked: WHY DON'T YOU UPDATE MORE LATELY?! IF YOU TAKE SO LONG YOU SHOULD JUST QUIT.

Ah…I’m sorry.

I haven’t been myself lately. I put on a front at work in front of my boss and co-workers. The kids bring an honest smile out of me. Anxiety is eating at me from the inside out. My friends want me to be more social but I’m scared. I want to curl up in bed with a hot cup of tea and a good book and maybe even a video game with Sunggyu’s voice singing in my ear, through my iTouch of course. I want to find a cool place in the shade and hide. Let my imagination drift away. Because lately, I haven’t had the chance. I’m overwhelmed by nightmares and I’m so tired but going to sleep also scares me.

I’m sorry that you’re stressing out about my recent update schedule, or lack thereof, but I don’t want to write anything depressing. Yet I can’t force myself to write something upbeat. The little drabbles I’ve written out have been lackluster and too melancholy for my taste.

I will earnestly try to work on something for tomorrow. Please understand that I’m an emotional wreck and I can’t be forced to update everyday of my life even though I wish I could.

With that all said, I will never quit just because someone tells me to. I have been given so much support; I will not quit until I am satisfied that I am done.

Thank you. :)

Anonymous asked: D: Yoon Mi isn't going to be a regular like Hee Sung and Min Ki!? WAE!?

> 3< Because I didn’t put any thought into her. ; 3; I’m really sorry. I asked a friend to pick her name at random really. She doesn’t have an age or a favorite color or favorite hobby :( All she is right now is a name. Also, I really don’t want to start to make too many Daddy Series. I’m really partial to Min Ki and poor little Hee Sung has been left to the side to make room for other things I want to write.

But if I do decide to work with Yoon Mi more I’ll be sure to have them here so…I don’t want to get your hopes up by saying “Look forward to it” but…OTL just…keep an eye out, I guess? Thank you for the interest in Yoon Mi though :)

Anonymous asked: What do you do for a living, Erica?

Fangirl. *laugh*

On a serious note, I’m a student :) I’ve been slowly taking my time with classes while working part time on campus. People have asked me if running this blog is what I do for a living but that’s so far from the truth. This blog in no way earns me money nor can I live off running this blog.

As for part time work, I work in a Children’s Center on my Community College campus. The kids there run from 2-5 in age and all of them are either kids of people going to college or staff who work at the college. Then there are the minority that belong to the community around there :D This is the reason why I have a soft spot for Min Ki. And it’s also the reason that, I feel like, I have a good grasp on kids that age *laugh* Because I’m surrounded by kids that age at work :) Ah. Just in case you’re curious: I absolutely LOVE children~<3 I adore them. Their pure way of thinking and their laughter and their need for attention. I loved when I finally worked there long enough that, right now, every single child can call me by my name (//U//) It is the greatest feeling. I can’t wait till I’m old enough to have my own *laugh* Now you’re just getting to know me a little too well I guess. Hahaha~ It’s all just too much information, huh?

I was told that I’ve been ignoring Woohyun lately…which isn’t a lie really…I’ve just been having too many feels for other members ^^ So I have this for you all~<3 I didn’t put too much thought into names since this is the only time I’ll be using the character I created. You should DEFINITELY check this out because without that, this scenario wouldn’t exist :) And that’s it from me today~ Enjoy?

[EDIT: I forgot! Woohyun and the Reader Character are just dating O U O)b And again, enjoy?]

—————————————————————————————

Woohyun let out a sigh as he dropped onto the sofa beside you.

You smiled and turned to him, “Tired?”

He ran his hands through his hair and raked them back all the way to his neck, “Absolutely tired.”

You reached over and tucked some of his stray hairs behind his ear, “You did a good job though.”

He turned to you with a grin, “Thanks.”

He let his head roll back to rest on the back of the sofa and he slouched down a bit.

You stared at him a moment and you couldn’t stop the snicker that slipped past your lips.

“What?” he rolled his head to look at you. His eyebrow quirked up and he stared at you in anticipation.

“You have a bit of stuff right here.” you reached your hand out again and swiped your index finger at the corner of his lip.

Anonymous asked: 5 things you thought about Infinite's recent Japanese album.

O U O Ahm…hmmm. 5 things at random? Shoots. Okay :D

1. Sunggyu sings a Japanese version of ‘Because’ but in the ending bit where he sings and then basically echos himself is weird OTL It’s not written out in the lyric book but if it were to have been written down, it would look like this:
   愛が眠れないじゃない / [원하잖아]
   これ以上苦しめないで / [머물지 마]
   遠くなればなるほど / [멀어질수록]
   どんどん近くに感じて / [점점 더 가까이에 있고]
   忘れようとするほど / [계속 이렇게]
   君だけがもっと欲しくなる
   :S I don’t know if they meant to put in the Korean echo or not  but it’s weird. If you translate both the Korean and Japanese bits then it’s not that bad as far as the meaning goes [the first one doesn’t make any sense at all OTL]. But it’s really strange. I mean…he had to re-record the track so why didn’t they think about re-recording the echo? You know? [D: UNLESS IT’S A MISTAKE. Oh gosh.] *laugh* It’s a really petty thing for me though because the track itself sounds great :)
2. Talking about re-recording. I always think this but why can’t they re-record a song that they’ve already done with lines that are distributed better? Sungyeol is getting more and more confident with his singing, at least I really think so, but they keep to the original line up for the song. They could shift their lines around to accommodate him better, don’t you think? Unless he’s not confident with his Japanese…OTL They should get him to sing more.
3. GUYS. The revamped version of 날개. Oh. My. Sweet. Gosh. *laugh* 날개 is one of my favorites and to see that there’s a Japanese version now and that the music got an upgrade is seriously awesome. [My Mom couldn’t tell the difference = u = But I can. And that’s enough for me *laugh*]
4. Going off of that, I really want a Japanese version of Hysterie!! D: So many more current songs are getting their Japanese counterparts but Hysterie hasn’t yet! It’s my favorite Infinite song of all time so it’s a bit disappointing that it hasn’t been done yet ; 3;
5. Um. I really like this album O U O I honestly can’t really think of a major 5th thing I thought. It makes up for talking too much in the other points though. Ahahaha~<3

Request: You try to tell him you love him but he keeps interrupting — Sungyeol

O U O Just some small trivia~<3 It won’t affect your reading at all but it’s something I put a lot of thought into…so…if you’re interested you can read this long note, if not go ahead and skip this~.
Love in Korean is 사랑 (sarang), Lollipop[I cheat a bit because it should really be Candy > 3<] is 사탕 (satang), Lettuce is 상추 (sangchu), Lion is 사자 (saja), Lift is 상향 (sanghyang) [this one is a really rarely used word though ^^], and Line is 선 (seon)…at least I’m pretty sure these are all correct. Anyway, I chose words that all started with an ‘S’ sound in Korean but come across as ‘L’ words in English. > 3< There were actually less than I thought there would be. OTL But you’ll see how it plays out in the scenario *laugh* Enjoy?

—————————————————————————————

You watched Sungyeol sit and flip his bangs across his forehead. His brow was furrowed and he couldn’t seem to sit still.

“What are you doing?” you asked him finally before your curiosity ate you alive.

He turned to you and gave you a toothy grin, “Trying to see which looks better on me.”

He flipped his bangs over to the right side of his face with a sigh, “Does it look better on this side?”

He flipped it back to the left, “Or this side?”

Anonymous asked: UNNIE! WORLD TOUR CONCERT! OMFG! Do you plan to go? Where would you go? :D

[For those who haven’t seen it yet~ There is this video (//U//)b]

And O U O YES. *laugh* I’ve already told my Mom that no matter when it is, I’m going to take off a few days from school and go to see them. [We were actually in the process of trying to see if my whole family would go on the trip but only me and my Mom would go see the concert OxO It’s a slow moving conversation…because I don’t want to take my sister when she has no interest in them at all :S I feel like it would just kind of bum me out…I apologize if that makes absolutely no sense at all] And if anything I’d be going to the LA one :D Unless Hawaii is included in that etc at the end *laugh* Which I doubt it is~ But a girl can dream, can’t she? [I was also debating on NY for the sole reason that I’ve been to LA before but never been to NY. Hahaha~ I keep being told: “It’s going to cost more! D:< LA is convenient!”] What about you, Anon?

Anonymous asked: D: why is l's story so popular and hoya's want story has so little attention?

O U O Series tend to get less attention just because there are more parts. At least, that is what I honestly believe. It’s much easier to read a one-shot in one sitting and be content with that versus having to tune in every time to read a whole story that’s broken down in to multiple pieces. [As a writer though, writing multiple pieces is more fun just because it allows us to expand and elaborate on things we normally wouldn’t in a single one-shot] *laugh* Don’t let it bother you though, Anon~<3 The notes aren’t an indication of how many people are reading it. It doesn’t bother me so please don’t let it bother you either. Okay? :)

And if you’re really, really concerned about it then think of it this way: Myungsoo’s recent one-shot got 50+ notes but Hoya’s Want Series has gotten a total of 130+ notes over a span of 7 chapters~ :D And that’s amazing in itself, is it not?

I have reached that stage where I write things and delete them quickly because I’m quick to judge it. And then hate it :S So I apologize. That’s exactly why I didn’t have an update yesterday. No matter how much I wrote or what I wrote I ended up trashing it all. I worked on this almost all day today because at one point I really hated it but then I fell in love with it. In the end, I’m really happy with how it came out  but…I’m kind of torn D: I’ve kind of lost my mind and I don’t know if this is really good or if it’s complete garbage and I’m just thinking it’s good because I like it *laugh* OTL Still I really hope you enjoy?

I used this song as inspiration. I would be happy if you listen to it while you read because the bolded words throughout the scenario are the lyrics that I spent an hour translating myself ; U ; It’s a personal favorite of mine. And as always, I can’t guarantee the accuracy of the lyrics since I’m not fluent in Korean~<3 [I do my best with what I know though]

—————————————————————————————

“Can you wait a little bit? I’ll come and pick you up.” he said to you softly.

You could only manage a furious nod of your head as you tried your best to suppress the sniffles.

“Tell me.” he started but you sniffled at the same time, “Tell me, where are you right now?”

Anonymous asked: unnie~! have you seen nell's new teaser already? :))

(> U <)b YES! I have! It’s actually been on loop the past hour *laugh* [If any of you reading this haven’t seen it yet, then you can check it out right here. Take a listen and fall in love with it~<3]

; A ; I want to stand in the rain with Kim Jong Wan. OTL I would suffer through catching a cold for it. But I’m just trying to envision what the full MV would be like ; U ;
All of them standing there, at first, dry.
Then the rain starts falling.
Slowly the room fills up with water.
Higher.
Higher.
Until…
The room is completely filled with water.
The music hits its peak.
Small particles float around as they move.
Light shines in and out of focus.
The music slows.
Then everything just…
Stops.
In a shimmer: Nell ‘Ocean of Light’ appears.

UGH. I’m already killing myself imagining it. Forgive my overactive imagination! Ahaha! And, of course, even if things don’t pan out that way I’ll still be impressed. I mean, it’s Nell :D

Anonymous asked: Out of curiousity mostly what bias do your readers have?

Hmmmm. Well, this is kind of hard because I’ve only ever spoken to a few people on a semi-constant basis :S So out of all the followers I have I only know about .02% of them ; A ; It’s a little sad. But I’m shy and people are shy so in the end it’s understandable, I guess.

But from the people I have talked with I would say that the bias leans towards Sunggyu :) Which is fairly expected, is it not? Especially since I’m Sunggyu biased. Coming in a close 2nd would be a tie between Dongwoo and Sungjong followed fairly closely by Sungyeol. And Woohyun, Hoya, and Myung are all pretty much tied for 3rd. [Though you really need to keep in mind that this is only based of the .02% of people I’ve actually had conversations with. This is in no way a basis of all the people reading my scenarios and in the end it really comes down to the fact that: We all love Infinite. Nothing more to it than that, honestly :D]

:( I was typing today because I have a blister on the finger I normally rest my pencil/pen on OTL It’s right under the place where I put it *laugh* It’s kind of crazy. Still, Ahhh! I only have 1 more part of this to go :D I’m excited! Thanks for all the supportive mails about this Series~<3 I appreciate it~

Nothing has changed and my inspirational music is still this song~ :D And as always, you can find the other parts on my blog [because I wouldn’t suggest jumping into a Series at its near end *laugh*] With that all being said: Enjoy?
—————————————————————————————

Through the bars of the cell Hoya could see the bright rays of the sun shining through. He let out a soft sigh as he rubbed at his eyes. He didn’t manage to get a single wink of sleep and the morning sunlight was stinging his eyes.

He held up his hand and blocked it out with the back of his hand.

He stared into his palm silently.

Even though the sunlight was warm he still felt that it wasn’t as warming as the feeling of your hand holding his yesterday.

It was crazy, but he kept telling himself that you wouldn’t just let him die. It wasn’t crazy because he thought that you didn’t care for him. It was crazy because he knew that you didn’t have enough power to do anything to save him.

The executioner had a list of names and Hoya’s was the first one on it.

He wouldn’t give up on you though. Because he knew that you wouldn’t give up on him.

He would just believe in the warmth, and the strength, that he felt from your hand.

Anonymous asked: I was just wondering how that b-day card for your blog got to you.

O 3O)b The mail. Or well…@____@ I’m not really sure what you mean, Anon. It did come by mail. If you’re wondering how it got to me in the mail then what happened was I gave my address out. Er…like….the person who mailed it mentioned that she had made a card and then I was greedy and wanted to see it *laugh* So she offered to mail it to me, for which I will be forever grateful ; U;, and she did~<3 It even came with a picture of Infinite from my all time favorite Era (//U//) It’s also probably my favorite picture of all time from that Era~<3 *laugh*

Anyway, yes. That’s how it happened :) I don’t have my address anywhere on my blog, just in case you plan to ask. I don’t quite feel safe with it out for every single person who sees my blog to see ^^
