RULES
- You are not required to have a Dreamwidth account to participate. There are no signups necessary. You may post anonymously if you want.
- There will be 3 rounds of this fest, and 1 round will be opened each week of the fest. Rounds will be left open for fills and comments, so there is no deadline for participating.
- Prompts do not have to be claimed before you write them, and they can be filled by more than one person.
- Once a round is open, you can continue submitting prompts for it until the end of the fest moderation period. (Ex: On February 17 after Round 3 opens, you’re still allowed to submit prompts to Round 1 and 2.)
- There is no minimum or maximum word count for fills. In the spirit of the fest, we encourage you to write shorter works, but any length is welcome and appreciated!
- Users are allowed to crosspost their fic on any other site, such as AO3. However, we ask that when possible, writers post the text of their fills as a reply to the prompt and include a link to an AO3 post if they choose to do so, instead of just linking to an AO3 post in their comment. This helps keep discussion in our community!
- Feel free to subscribe and join the comm to keep track of updates and view them on your reading page.

A/N: i’m doing it for the seulgicycle
-
“I think you’re a good person,” Seulgi says in the concrete stairwell. Where she’s leaning against the fifteenth floor door the push bar springs in, and out again as she shys away from it.
Baekhyun looks at her sharply. “Careful, you’ll fall.”
“I won’t.”
“Then what are you even doing there?”
What is she doing here? Seulgi should have asked herself that question hours ago. Weeks ago, in fact. When did her self-control give in so completely? Baekhyun adjusts his black baseball cap and the mask on his face, and sighs.
“Don’t tell me this is a bad idea, Kang Seulgi.”
“It is,” she insists.
“I’d believe you if you weren’t in my apartment building right now,” he says.
Seulgi found out about the contract dispute a few days before it leaked. don’t freak out, he texted with no context. She was on the way to a schedule and put her phone down on her lap, not daring to look at it again until the van had unloaded at the back door and she knew she was all alone.
He laughed when he picked up her call, ever the hypocrite. “Brave to do this in broad daylight.” He knew where she was, it was a public event.
“Am I supposed to think about what you meant for the rest of the day?” Seulgi snapped.
“No, you’re supposed to be a professional and focus on your fans.”
“You’re the worst,” she said.
“I meant it when I said not to worry. I just wanted to warn you something was happening, that’s all. The less you know the better.” He knew also that she was in the middle of her own contract negotiations.
“You’re killing me,” Seulgi responded. He hung up on her.
It had started raining since they’d arrived at the venue. She stood underneath the overhang for a bit longer, watching the water pool in the parking lot.
“Who are you always texting these days?” Yerim had asked a few months ago, mischief on her face. Two things are true: a broken clock is always right twice a day, and Kang Seulgi is a terrible liar.
“...My brother,” Seulgi said, sheepish. She pretended to search for something in her bag so she wouldn’t have to look at Yerim. “It’s, you know. Our parents’ anniversary soon.” She pulled out a lip tint and reapplied some.
“Uh-huh. Reeks of overcompensating.”
“It’s not,” she whined, and Yerim just rolled her eyes and took another bite of her melon bread. It wasn’t worth being right about, especially in the middle of a waiting room.
“I think part of you wants to get caught,” Joohyun told her later, disapproving.
Seulgi felt she was probably right but resented that she said it out loud. “Don’t be jealous.”
Joohyun turned her head. “Think what you want,” she said. “It’s not my problem.”
Some things are binary. The night will end in one of two ways: either Seulgi will have slept with him or she won’t have. The details of either option, whether they involve making coffee in his apartment in the morning or hailing a 2:30AM cab on the ground floor in the most inconspicuous way possible, are frankly irrelevant right now.
“You’re not leaving,” Baekhyun says, in the stairwell. It’s not a command— it’s an observation.
“I don’t know how to make decisions,” Seulgi says, desperately. “I’m sorry.”
He looks up at the spiral of staircases above them, and she knows distantly he is considering the possibilities too: someone else will find out what happens tonight, or they won’t. “I wouldn’t want to regret you,” Baekhyun says, miserable. “I’m scared I will either way.”
In her heart, she knows what she’d regret more. Seulgi reaches for his hand and opens the door.
Re: [FILL] all I got
“I wouldn’t want to regret you,” Baekhyun says, miserable. “I’m scared I will either way.” this line is sooo gutting, despite the obviousness of the set-up and all the rest of it...
