strawberries and cigarettes; [a jeongcheol au] jo (jh) is a known model pero sobrang kulit! his father had no choice but to hire a bodyguard. para daw pumirmi siya. jo was 'meh' abt it; no reaction. but once na nalaman nyang cho (sc) would be his bodyguard, he went ballistic.

notes & disclaimers! — official accs are blocked but pls censor the names if ur going to mention them — r-16!! lots of murahan, vulgar and provocative words so be mindful! (will put warnings din naman) — nonlinear storyline! expect flashbacks (= flashbacks)

cont. — fluff, nsfw (somehow), crack & humor (will try my best not to put any angst but won't promise huhu) — if may mga jokes or part of the story na nakakaoffend, pls do inform me thru dms :> — im still on hiatus so expect slow updates! (im in uni pls bear w me )

cont. — idk if fully socmed 'to so for sure maraming narrations! just a heads up :) — thought abt this au bc of jiji. sc brainrot lang talaga 'to haha — pls do scream at me !! i encourage ur qrts and telling ur thoughts abt the au <33 — cc: curiouscat.qa/ficsforyjh

[main characters] yoon jeongh/an | jo — model — sakit ng ulo ng tatay nya — "what's life without a little bit of fun?" — (read: i will make everyone's life a living hell) — but knows his boundaries — when he turned 15, he never liked cho since then.

[main characters] choi seungch/eol | cho — ex-military — jo's bodyguard (and childhood fRieNd) — gusto niya nang sakalin si jo sa sobrang tigas ng ulo — "putangina, jo. upo sabi." — mananapak ata lagi? — frustratingly mad at jo for whatever his reaons na sya lang nakakaalam

:) sana you can see the tiny details from their actions.

new character unlocked! xu ming/ha/o | xu eya — jo's manager! — never pinigilan si jo to stand up for himself, he eve encourages him to do so. — intimidating sa una — pwede na rin talagang tour guide sa sobrang daming alam na venues n tourists spots

quick poll! (this doesn't affect the plot n ending in anyway, don't worry. just wanna know wachu guys think.) — who fell first?

— who fell harder?

(di ko na alan kung pang ilang update 'to)

kakaiba mood swings ni jo

bakit mo tinatanong.............

check time stamp :) n it's jo's priv twt btw

don't skim n scan technique okay. tiny details are important :)

nalimutan ko pala 'to isama. cho took the picture during the shoot, but posted it after the interview hence, the caption :)

and for visualization / visual purposes, this is their position dun sa last part ng narration :)

a week after!

hahahaha jo hay i lob u

"oh. oki." alam niyo ba yon? parang tunog nag(redacted) HAHA HAY JO WAG PLS. DI YAN CRUSHIE NG BFF MO, IBA TYPE NAN JO

please take time to read this! ty! twitter.com/0408archive/st…

back to present tayo!

uy, parang ang lambot naman ng i hate you na yon? emz HAHAHA

nakauwi na po ng batangas si jo.

// provocative words

read between the lines! figure it out kung ano ibig sabihin ng convo ni jei and jo. kaya niyo na yan, malalaki na kayo hahaha

don't skim n scan!

take 2! may wrong spelling kasi.

just kiss each other oh my god

like legit . just kiss (kneels in frustration) tutulak ko na kayong dalawa e >:[

mcho.benz

// mentions of alcohol & smoking

mentions of alcohol & smoking laging naglalapit mukha nila, but never once nagkiss. what if itulak ko kayo para naman maglapat na mga lips niyo puta

charing lang sa flashbacks na yung next, eme lang yon. pahapyaw muna tayo ng pov ni mayor pogi

mentions of alcohol and drinking

mentions of alcohol and drinking tangina i say KISS duwag k b!?

we're all sevi at this point. KISS KA KASI TANGINA (nagdabog)

mentions of alcohol

for reference ng nose scrunch and smile ni jo! (tangina kilig malala kasi si sc rin kaharap niya dito)

sarap magmahal ni cho. legit. banayad pero sigurado.

pano yung ngiting di maipinta? ganto po :)

jcho playlist! i'm still curating it and adding songs from time-to-time but hereee! happy listening! open.spotify.com/playlist/6DKAk…

mentions of alcohol & drinking pause to read! i didn't time everything right so bear with my edit hilo na po kasi ako hahahaha read between the lines btw! i gave hints kung ano set-up nila before the bodyguard thingy.

the morning after (if u know jo's lockscreen, good for you )

:) if u look closely, there's something different with this conversation compared to others

buong moa arena, NAG-INGAAAAAAY (weak k nmn hmpf)

take 2! may typo :)

ok quick poll lang uli! round 2 of the same poll before since nung round 1, si jo ang nanalo sa both polls. — who fell first?

— who fell harder?

PLUSSSSS! if i make a twitter space talking about this au, will u join me and dadaldalin niyo rin ba ko? jashsgshaha gusto ko kasi kayo makakwentuhan tapos topic natin jcho :) if yes, qrt kayo here (or dm me) if what day and what time nyo want :)

i suggest listening to this song while reading :) open.spotify.com/track/2KvQuEPu…

(flashbacks ahead!) don't skim and scan! the timeline & days shifts quickly so to track the days, don't skim :)

before anyone gets mad at cho, let's all patiently wait for his pov :)

— it's either love or hatred, no in between.

still flashbacks. just random days.

different day na 'to ah

"i think i'm gonna fail." "do you think i'm gonna let you fail?" kind of conversation :)

the sunset or yung kasama mo? lol syempre yung sunset, you're still oblivious with ur own feelings e

then there's jei na gulat na gulat

jo.yoon, signing off (for now.)

may i present to you, cho.i [i've said this before, but don't skim & scan. the days along with the thoughts with it shift quickly, so to track the days, read thoroughly! :-)]

random day

the time on the lockscreen doesn't matter. the time on the message tho is important :)

hulaan niyo na lang nalimutan ni cho :)

natatawa ako na naiiyak hahahah

ok sige dahil masyadong malungkot, ito medyo happy hahahaha

hello! i'm back!

remember the exchange of messages between cho's dad and him? here's the context :)

context: when jo messaged cho out of nowhere. the time cho watched the sunset alone :)

loe po hehehehe timeskip tayo, weeks before august (cho's 18th bday)

read thoroughly. time skips happen in between narration.

:)

:)

listen to this song and read the lyrics if you can after watching the vids :] (just promise to listen to the taylor's version of this song once it comes out) open.spotify.com/track/2YjKcFQ1…

then listen to this afterwards :) open.spotify.com/track/12M5uqx0…

timeskip: enter college year, 1st year.
