If a cup is broken, can it be fixed? Suppose you gather every last shard. You spend countless patient hours fitting them back together. You fill the cracks not with invisible glue, but with liquid gold-the ancient art of kintsugi. You do not hide the breaks. You illuminate them. The mended cup is now more beautiful for having been broken. But what then? Can it still hold scalding tea? Will it bear the heat, or will the golden seams betray it? Is it stronger at the breaks, or forever more fragile? And is the time, the pain, the hope poured into its repair worth the risk of it shattering once more? Because cups are fragile. Hearts are, too. Are his mates worthy of being trusted with his heart a second time? And has he learned the most devastating lesson of all-that sometimes, to survive, you must learn how to hold yourself?

Loneliness: a state of mind linked to wanting human contact but feeling alone. Chan feels lonely. Which sounds, objectively, ridiculous. He's an idol. The moment he steps outside, he's swallowed by a horde of staff and security. He performs in sold-out stadiums to seas of screaming fans. He's part of Seventeen, one of the largest, most successful boy bands of his generation - a miracle of thirteen. He is, technically, almost never alone. His work is his life, and his life is twelve other people. Alphas and omegas who orbit each other with an instinctual gravity, he watches from the periphery. So the statement feels juvenile. A bratty complaint. And yet. The loneliness isn't in the lack of bodies, but in the quality of the space between them. Is it because he's the maknae? The only 99-liner without a same-aged friend in the group? Or is it the simpler, more brutal truth he circles back to every time? He is a beta. The only one in a pack of alphas and omegas. And in the silent calculus of pack dynamics, sometimes that just means you're alone in a room full of people who are supposed to be yours. [Cross-posted on AO3 under the same username]

"We are enemies for a reason, hwa." seongjoong theme song: sailor's song by gigi perez

Hongjoong's life has always flashed by with lights down low and notes dancing around yet the light vanishes and notes disappear as there's a feral fire in his heart. The warmth attracts one particular wolf to him, which he doesn't mind getting closer to the fire place, that is his soul. Wooyoung will someday let his wolf free without any restrictions. They both will snap the ropes binding their names and spirits down and if it means that the man's tries will end up having one particular spectator on the side, Wooyoung may give him a chance and let him come closer.

His wolf is giving him signals yet he doesn't know how to act when there is a man, cold as a stone, in front of him, making him feel all he ever wished to be. It's hard to say, should Mingi let the indifferent male go as many others or chase him with all his got. Yeosang has met as many people as there are stars in the sky, which is ironic because he spends all his nights with the shining objects above him. They blend in his routine well. Suddenly a stranger starts erasing the lines and entering his routine. His own wolf accepts him because he fits so well it's almost like nothing has changed.
