    What begins as brief conversations after class slowly becomes something harder to define. Not quite inappropriate. Not quite harmless either. By the end of the semester, one point seems small enough to be insignificant. It isn't.

    During his semester break, Jeon Jungkook takes on a night delivery job just to earn quick money and fill his empty schedule. The work is simple-fast deliveries, silent streets, and customers who never ask questions. At home, he shares an apartment with his hyung, Kim Seokjin. Jin is playful, teasing, and effortlessly annoying in the most comforting way. He jokes too much, laughs at the wrong moments but he's hard working guy. After long midnight shifts, Jungkook often finds himself talking to Jin without meaning to. About tired days, strange customers, small frustrations... things he never says out loud anywhere else. And Jin always listens. Sometimes with a teasing comment. Sometimes with quiet understanding. But he never pushes Jungkook away. Random conversations in the kitchen at 3 AM. And a growing sense that Jungkook's life is slowly revolving around this strange, comforting rhythm-work, home, and Jin's presence in between. understands. Some delivery locations make him uneasy. Certain houses feel too quiet. Certain orders feel... wrong.

    "I wasn't looking for anything. I just started noticing." It wasn't supposed to mean anything. Just ordinary days. Ordinary lectures. Ordinary conversations in crowded classrooms. But somewhere between those small moments, Mira started noticing things she never meant to notice. A glance that lasted longer than it should have. Eyes that seemed to find her in every room. Silences that felt heavier than words. Maybe it was nothing. Maybe she was imagining it. Or maybe some stories begin in the quietest ways- in moments so small that no one else would even think to write them down. Except she did. And these are the notes she never meant to write.

    This is a one-shot I submitted to 5hfanfiction.tumblr.com a few years back while Camila was hospitalized and the girls were forced to perform as a foursome. This one-shot is a realistic fantasy of a situation that could have happened if the circumstances were correct. If you enjoy daydreaming about cuddly, sweet encounters, you will enjoy this short scene. Link: http://5hfanfiction.tumblr.com/post/95588629632/subtle-invitation

    Meet Nikolai, a twenty-three year old that is chronically sick. On the verge of death, most people would wait it out and die. However - Nikolai did something that NOBODY ELSE should do. Spend three years to build a life-sized puppet and transfer his consciousness into it. From there, he'd be able to live a healthy life, or lack-thereof, for a year. Unknowingly...he actually becomes rather more known as his puppet: Marionette. A puppet that has spooked, charmed, and thrilled people all at once. Although...the main reason was to avoid boredom for a year - he seems to have strayed one bit too far.

Life is orderly-until she begins noticing a student, Idris Bello, who seems to appear in hallways, classrooms, and dorms where no one else sees him. At first, it's subtle: a shadow, a movement, a figure that disappears when looked at directly. But as the days pass, the incidents grow more unsettling, and Na'ima finds herself questioning what is real and what isn't. Amid the daily routines of boarding school life-lights out, inspections, and strict rules-Na'ima must navigate the growing unease while no one believes her. Friends notice she's distracted, teachers dismiss her concerns, and the mysterious student continues to appear in impossible places. As tension escalates, Na'ima faces the chilling question: is Idris Bello real, or is she seeing something that shouldn't exist at all? Eyes That Aren't There is a subtle psychological horror story that explores perception, isolation, and the thin line between reality and the unknown.
