"Please use me! Use us!"

Weekly Contest #90

“Are you really sure that you’re okay with this?” Namjun asked his friend again. Jun turned his head away from the side where he had been flirting with a girl and looked at his friend.“What?” Jun asked. “Are you really okay to come on this trip with me? I mean - closing your restaurant and everything?” Namjun clarified quietly as he glanced down at his feet before looking up again to his friend's eyes that were shining with a look of seriousness that Namjun rarely ever saw. Jun’s next words seemed to contradict his eyes but Namjun knew ...

May! June! February! April?

Weekly Contest #87

I had been told by Artemis that she thought she might've seen something she shouldn't have in a large, abandoned warehouse. Since I was the only person she knew that had a job dealing with illegal things, she asked me to look into it. It was really snowing on the roads now (Snow in April? Even the weather's against me) and I was worried about my little car but I needed to do my job and I figured it wouldn't take too long anyway. The culprit was probably not there anymore so I shouldn't run into anything too dangerous. Nothing but structural ...

Blindfold of flowers (and thorns)

Weekly Contest #86

It's been about a month. We've been married for a month and ..... she still hates me. She's amazing. She's intelligent, talented, gorgeous, and perfect! But ..... she hates me. She absolutely hates me. We've known each other for at least four or five months now and she still doesn't even want to talk to me. We even sleep in the same bed but she won't even acknowledge my presence. She agreed to come with me to the annual Spring Festival that the city I was raised in has every year. It's huge, and it's the perfect time to tell her how I f...

Valentines Cooking Contest Bargain (gone wrong?)

Weekly Contest #83

"You won't believe this! I won the valentines day cooking contest! Do you know what the prize is for that?" Jun almost rapped the three sentences to his friend in his excitement. "What?" Yoonki asked in a bored tone. "A ticket to one of the Virgin Islands and a prepaid hotel room in one of the five star hotels on one of the islands! It's almost all paid for! They pay for everything but other places and other store-bought things. Like, if I went to a separate swimming place then I'd have to pay but if I want to use the hot tub at the...

Roses Are Red ... And So Is Fire

Weekly Contest #81

Namjun had finally finished setting up the table. He smiled and picked up the match box that he had set down on the table. He lit a match from the box and held it to the first red candle on the table, smiling at the thought of how Melissa would react when she saw this. He was hoping that he'd be lucky enough to maybe even get a genuine smile. He started to light the second candle when his friend called out nonchalantly to him from the kitchen. "Your food's burning." Namjun dropped the match and knocked over both candles in his hurry to g...

Mr. Kim's Scandal

Weekly Contest #80

"Breaking news! Kim wins the election!!" The small group cheered after hearing what the news anchor said. Their friend had won the election. He would go down in history as the youngest president to ever be elected and he would also become the first Asian president. Things hadn't looked too good at first but quickly changed with how trustworthy and smart the young boy seemed to be. He would be changing more than just the U.S. during his presidency. He would be changing the world. "He really did it!!" Jaemin yelled. Yoonki smacked Jaem...

The Girl Who Defied Twelve

Weekly Contest #80

I wouldn't have seen this coming if it had been written on a paper and shoved in front of my face. It's just so ...... unexpected. Some people would say that I'm making history. I don't know if that's quite the way to describe it. You see, it all started when I was twelve. Well ... a little before that, I guess. There was a man who had been stalking me for months. He had set his mind on having me but he was sure that he'd get in trouble unless he could find a way around the age difference. (He was nineteen) He then had a brilliant idea. He...

Adjusting

Weekly Contest #79

I sat in the interrogation room quietly as I listened to the officers repeat what they had told me. "You have to tell us everything you know first. If you answer our questions then you'll be allowed to see your family." One of the two officers said. I turned my pleading eyes to the detective that had saved me. Detective Min. He shook his head with the same serious face he always had on and he spoke quietly so that only I could hear.  "It's best if you just tell them what they want to know quickly and then you can meet your family."I...

Perfectly Almond

Weekly Contest #77

I stepped into the cabin and unwrapped my scarf from my neck. I hung it up and reached for my hat but paused and looked back at where I had hung my scarf. There were already clothes there. It looked like the snow clothes belonged to a petite woman or maybe a teenage girl. I couldn't understand why they would be here though. This was my cabin. It was also in a remote place in the woods so you'd have to be looking for it to find it.  Here's the thing. About a month ago, I was pushed into quitting my job as a teacher and I was taken to a...

Silver Love

Weekly Contest #77

January 21, 2014 Poof. The beautiful, white, crystal gently lowered itself to the ground only to quickly be covered by hundreds more. I watched as they gently hit the ground outside my window. It was the first time that I had seen snow in twelve years. I had forgotten just how beautiful it was. Taradiddle The thought of, even the small freedom, of an uncovered window An outlet to the world I no longer belong in Riveted by the seductress Khione Alert to the beauty that is just outside my reach Delighted by the smallest freedom Imbued by ...

Weak Liar

Weekly Contest #76

Artemis, Jaemin, May, Yoonki, Doseok, Taehyun and Jungguk had gotten together at Yoonki's place to talk. Yoonki had called a friend meeting that excluded Jun. He had something important to talk about. "So, what are we here for?" Jaemin asked Yoonki once they were all sat down on the couches in the living room. "And why isn't Jun invited?" Asked Doseok asked. "You're not still angry about him walking in on you guys, are you?" Artemis asked. "You guys know how Yoonki holds grudges. Don't be too worried. This isn't about that anyway." M...

A change in perspective

Weekly Contest #75

2 Years ago I had just hung up on May. I didn't know what to do. She said she was pregnant. I ... I don't know what to do! I wasn't expecting this! I don't even know her that well! I've met her twice! The second time didn't even really count because we were drunk for most of it and neither of us remembered much. I wouldn't usually do things like this. One night stands weren't my thing and ... doing it, unprotected wasn't something I do either. I feel like an idiot! I need to slow down and give myself a chance to think. I sat down on the...

10 Reasons to Get a Girlfriend

Weekly Contest #74

Top 10 Reasons You Need A Girlfriend By: Min Yoonki You're annoying. You're probably annoying because you're lonely but ....... still. You seem to have nothing better to do with your time than annoy me. I'm a busy guy. Just because we're friends doesn't mean that you can prance into my house and into my room on my anniversary to congratulate me. May is still embarrassed by that! My wife can't even look at you without remembering what you saw and getting embarrassed. I just can't believe you weren't more ashamed by that. Also, the fact tha...

Five Diamond Rings

Weekly Contest #73

Once was okay. Twice was funny. Thrice was strange. Four times was crazy. But FIVE TIMES! That's too much! Let me explain what I'm talking about and, maybe give you my name. Artemis. Hi. Alright, Let's start on December twenty-third. I have a lot of friends. A lot of them are boys. I just seem to get along better with them. I'm not the most share-y care-y kind of person so it's not like I tell them everything. Anyways, I was at my bakery and business was booming! I got a text so I paused and checked the message. "Can we meet tomorrow nig...
