Na Jaemin does not know that you exist.
Good looking, charismatic, and popular โ itโs his world, and youโre just living in it. Or something like that. Youโre decently smart, somewhat funny, and not pretty enough to stand out, but not exactly hideous according to societal standards (source: those beauty quizzes in Seventeen magazine that you used to be obsessed with when you were thirteen and in desperate need of flirting tips). If he was the main lead, youโd probably be Extra #6, maybe Extra #2 on a good day.
By your calculations, the two of you should never cross paths, like two parallel lines. Wait, scratch that, you would probably never be aligned with anything that has to do with this guy. You saw him standing outside of the door of your shared accounting classroom during your fall semester, and he spent twenty five minutes editing his picture for Instagram and ended up late for the lecture. And he probably already spent even more time selecting the final photo to edit before you arrived to class and noticed him. Absolute idiot. Absolute handsome idiot, but idiot nonetheless. A grade A himbo with a grade C in financial accounting.ย
Okay, so scrap the parallel lines theory, maybe skew lines are a better way of explaining it. Yeah, that seems about right, the two of you are from completely different dimensions, never meant to interact or run parallel with each other. And once again, by this logic, your paths should never cross.

TIFU by getting hit by a car over labubus that I was trying to get for the girl I like
I (24M) was trying to rush to be first in line at the Popmart grand opening and arrived at 11 PM the night before. The girl I like is really into Labubu and Dimoo, and the new store will be fully stocked, first come first serve. I got in line and was fifth in waiting to get into the store. But before that, I had to sit in my car until midnight when people started lining up outside the mall entrance. It got too rowdy though, so the security guard yelled for everyone to go back to the parking structure. Obviously, people slowly inched their way back to the entrance again after pretending to leave, so I made sure to nab a spot by hiding in the bushes closest to the mall doors. Finally at 8 AM, they let us inside and I sprinted into the mall past almost everyone else. I secured the goods (have a seat set, exciting macaron set, wings of fortune, happy halloween party, fall in wild, flip with me) and happily made it out. This was going to be the best Christmas present for the girl I like, and therefore increase my chances of her saying yes to a date. But there was someone driving at way more than 15mph in the mall parking lot and with no care for stop signs and pedestrian walkways. So they ran over a few orange cones before coming to a stop after hitting the biggest speed bump aka me. Now Iโm left with a broken arm, a couple bruised ribs, and hopped up on pain meds in the hospital on Christmas day with nothing else to do except post on reddit

you don’t understand how much I loved Barbie girl 😭😭😭😭😭😭 it literally changed my life I’m not even joking .-. the way you write your characters and just the organization of the whole plot???? a true genius I have to say :D reading your art has been the best thing that has happened to me fr. just applied your writing to my real life and definitely realized some things about myself that I should’ve recognized and known before </3 can’t wait to read anything else you decide to share 🩷🩷🩷
omg hii, honey bee !!! 💛 thank you so much 🥹 aaa thank you for your sweet words and kind compliments 😭😭🫶🏻 writing barbie girl was truly a cathartic experience, and I feel like a lot of girls can relate to yn and had to deal with someone like jaemin in their lives 🤧 it’s based on a lot of personal insecurities and experiences shared between me and my irl friends, so I hope it would resonate with anyone who would read it as well 💕 and thank you so much for complimenting my writing style and calling my fic art !!!! 😭🩵🩵 tbh I feel a little rusty since I haven’t written in a while :’) so that really means the world to me, sweetpea 💐
wait omg applying my writing to your life ??? I fed like that’s the highest compliment ever, oh my god ???? thank you so so much, lovebug 🤍 I hope that’s a good thing 🥹 and if there’s any bg jaemin’s in your life, that you got rid of them for a fresh start in the new year 🤧
i have more fics on my masterlist linked in my bio if you haven’t read those yet !! bg is the prequel to pussy blocked, and august is another fic within that universe 💕 and I’ll be dropping my haechan holiday collab fic later today 💗
once again, thank you so so much for your kind words, honey bee, you definitely helped start my new year on a positive note, and I hope 2025 treats you kindly 🌷🌷

The Basement Yard reference SENT ME. I can see bits and pieces of like DUFF and Crazy Rich Asians in this (the part where sheโs talking to Jaemin and is saying when he finds someone he loves, she was how he got there) LIKE COME AWN. A round of a fucking applause.
The angst is so perfect in this and I hate hate hate how Jaemin is just so dumb in this.. ๐ when you go low, Jaemin will go lower my friends. Then Yeonjun is the lowest with that fucking seafood joke (made my jaw drop down to the ground)
So well written ๐๐ผ please write another piece like this.
aaaa thank you so so much for reading my fic and leaving the nicest feedback, honey bee !!!! ๐โจ
also, can you pls tell me what Basement Yard reference youโre talking about? ๐คง I know itโs a podcast but I donโt listen to it, and a couple of my friends have mentioned it before in conversation and I based this fic heavily off of irl experiences from myself and friends, so I feel like thatโs where I wouldโve gotten it from! but because none of my irls know I write, I canโt ask them about it ๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ but I would really love to listen to that part of the podcast if you remember ๐ฅน
and YES !!! Iโm so glad you caught the references to the duff and crazy rich asians ๐ I wanted to reference different rom coms that included some sort of makeover, like cinderella (the fairy tale references), sheโs all that (am i a joke to you vs am i a bet when she confronts him), the duff (tutoring in exchange for makeover), crazy rich asians (being enough and yes just as you said, she is how he got there), princess diaries (when mia said michael saw her when she was invisible, meanwhile jaemin was the complete opposite), sheโs the man (there was the gouda reference lol and jaemin was teaching her how to get haechan to like her, like how viola was teaching duke for olivia) ๐ผ
yes, unfortunately, jaemin is incredibly dumb and egotistical in this ๐ heโs a culmination of the many awful experiences and things irl men have said or done, and so are his friends ๐ but I thought yn should get the closure and apology she deserved in the end and see him grovel because a lot of us donโt get that irl, and we would at least get it in fiction this way ๐คง
thank you so much again, sweetpea !! ๐ and actually, this was the prequel to my other fic called pussy blocked for jeno, which Iโd say is similar to this one !! There are references and connections between the two ๐ another fic I have called august for yangyang is within the same universe and is not as heavily connected as pussy blocked, but you see some hints of him in barbie girl, which will be in that fic as well !! ๐ท
OMG HI GIGI IMY 💛💛 I always see you traveling to fun places in your insta stories, and I’m so jealous 🤧 I hope you’re living your best life and having lots of fun !!! I’m only back for a little bit, I had 70 hours in flights this year, so I decided to finally finish my collab fic during those hours with no wifi or data 🥹
