° thanksgiving 2017

[PART TWO -- READ SECOND]

honestly, there’s so much to be thankful for. everything i’ve gone through, all the ups and downs, twists and turns— there’s a lot, but I'm not sure how to compile it into words. I'm thankful that my characters have gone through hell and back to get to where they are now, because otherwise it wouldn't be the same. I'm thankful that i’ve met so many great people, that i’ve had the opportunity to spend time with everyone and roleplay with them.

this is a little ooc chunk, because i feel the need to express a couple of things about taecyeon’s rper. but honestly, i could gush all day, so i’ll just keep it short here. i know i wouldn't have had my character date again. i was actually telling jugeullae at one point “man, i really wanna rp with deullie… but I'm too nervous to say anything” so i never did. then my character when through something really rough and i was like “nope. no more dating, none of that ”— and then deullie swept in (i still had never said anything to deullie, though— it was all jugeullae because im a smol nervous bean 98% of the time). honestly, roleplaying with deullie is amazing. i don't know how to explain it, but it is. ////// i haven't been comfortable with an rp partner for a long time (other than with jugeullae, of course) so this is a really big step for me ;; so really, i just want to say that I'm thankful that someone as amazing as deullie wants to roleplay with someone as mediocre as me— and that they wanted to be my friend in the midst of all of that. boy, am i lucky to have scored such an amazing person as a friend.



i, cha hakyeon, have never been so in love with someone. taecyeon has swept me off my feet and kept me close ever since we first met, and i never thought i would fall in love again. this heart of mine has begun beating again, but for one sole purpose, and that’s to make taec happy. I'm so, so thankful i met him, that i gave love a chance because of him. without it, i don't know where i’d be right now. I'm so thankful that he let me into his heart, that he loves me, and that he wants me. i am so unworthy of the love that i have gotten from such a wonderful man, but trust me, you wont see me passing that up at any point. I'm thankful that i know i belong with him, that he is the one for me. because i’d be lost without someone as amazing and beautiful as he.

thank you all for spending thanksgiving with this family. we wouldn't be a family (who yeah, has horrible fights all the time) without any of you. let’s continue to make this a happy home for everyone who comes along <3 i love you guys!

[PART ONE -- READ FIRST]

what am i thankful for, you ask?

the roleplay. as much as it drags me down sometimes, this place is my home. it has been ever since me and the original admin (jugeullae) created it waaaay back in january (really, for our own roleplay purposes). did we ever think it was going to last this long? nope. but it has. we've seen so many people come and go. we've seen people stay here since the beginning, and honestly... it warms my heart. it makes me so glad to know that you people like this role-play. the fact that people have stayed this long, made this their home, makes me so happy. so really, I'm thankful for this roleplay, the people i’ve met over these past 10 months, and everything else.

the people. i’ve got a handful of people i want to mention (i’ll be saving the best for last, hehe).

*** jugeullae, my one and only. honestly, there’s so much i want to say, but i say it every single day to you. i love you so so much, okay? more than anything in the world. thank you for creating this role-play in the beginning with me for our dongsoo in the beginning, our everlasting friendships between characters, the birth of nogo, and our lovely yoo brothers… thank you so, so much for everything.

*** chanyeol, my little chanaegi, my precious bean fluff. i love you so much, and i hate that the world wants to basically treat you so wrong, but you are my little happy virus. never let anything get you down because honestly, you’ve made me so proud every since i first met you, and boy am i glad we met. thank you for becoming my friend and letting me parent you <3. 

*** my precious ken baby, you’re so amazing. you’re always there to cheer me up, to remind me of the things i’ve done right, and help me get my head out of the toilet when I'm feeling icky. you’re the best son i could ever have.
*** darling youngjae. you’re the sweetest fluff ball in the world, and you’ve honestly been there for me for so much— I'm super duper proud to have you as my friend. don't you worry, your boi.m and your kitty will always love you.

*** those who have been here since we first opened (you know, all the way back in january): yohji, hyuk, bjoo, sanha, moonbin/jeno, sungjin, eunwoo, inseong, bretman, ashley, chen, woozi, minhyuk, jooyoung, and yusuke/mj. you guys have seen semi through a lot of things, and I'm very very glad you have stayed as long as you have. i hope you always come back to this place and think of it as home.

*** my fellow admins, who have worked so hard to help me keep this place the way it is (and of course jugeullae who was the main admin before handing the rp off to me). honestly i wouldn’t be able to be sane without you guys. lord knows i would have thrown in the towel long ago. thank you for being so hard working and helping me out every step of the way.

wow ya boi just broke the chara limit on this hold on

i am thankful for having come across this place. there were surely many ups and downs like a rollercoaster ( s/o to people who got the reference, ay ) and i definitely had moments when i didn't want to be here but in the end i'm brought back here by an unknown force of strength so big i can't help but to stick around. and truly, isn't it what home is like? sometimes you want to run away from home, sometimes you want to be out as long as possible, sometimes home is all you think about, sometimes home is the only place you feel comfortable at. home. crazy, little home since august.
i met so many amazing people ㅡ with not all i kept in touch with, i drifted from some but i never regret having met you. i often find myself thinking back to every friend i made here, i miss those who are gone. people here helped me a lot, taught me even more. i was taught care, patience, understanding and coming in terms with my own happiness. growing up, i think that's what this place helped me in.
if i were to mention every person, it would take infinity. if you're special to me, i'm sure you know it. i don't talk much nowadays because of a busy schedule but my heart doesn't change ㅡ i still cherish those whom last time i talked in for example september with. i just want to make a very special spot for cha hakyeon and kang daesung, or more like minswoon and jugeullae. thank you for being amazing parents, good listeners, thank you for having my back. you helped me a lot and i am glad to have met you. whenever life gives you lemons, remember i'll be there to make you the best tarte au citron to give you some sugar and love. i adore you two and you are goals. hakyeomma, thank you for giving me chanaegi nickname ♡. another person is yixing. god, yixing. we've known each other before here but you know you're my precious baby bean baobei, the best friend i could ever have. i love you so much!
lastly...yeah, everyone saw it coming, i suppose. byun baekhyun. or shall i say my /finally/ boyfriend. i am so thankful that we came across each other month ago. and maybe i was to you and i was about to lose you but fate and destiny is so weird we were brought together anyway. thank you for coming here. thank you for always being there for me. thank you for holding me. thank you for all the affection and care, for my heart bursts into fireworks of love, colourful and vibrant, so alive and beautiful when i'm with you. thank you for putting up with me ic and ooc. thank you for showing me so much patience, for not leaving, for waiting and making me blossom underneath the nurturing sunshine of your existence. thank you for being so beautiful and perfect, an epitome of everything i ever wanted. thank you for making me realise i deserve happiness as well. thank you for being an amazing friend and lover. i am always so giddy to talk to you, check my phone just to see if there's a message from you. thank you for every good morning, for every goodnight, for every i love you, for being mine. i'm so whipped and in love with you. you brought the broken pieces together and i've never felt this beautiful, your love is art. forever, my honey. we'll make it forever.

thank you.

I'm thankful for a lot of things, mostly people, and probably too many to mention. I'm thankful for my friends, especially Yoonji, and my favorite hyung Changkyun. I'm thankful for my family, especially my cousin Kihyun hyung, and Hakyeomma, both of whom take good care of me. I'm also thankful for people I haven't mentioned by name but who still talk to me and make me feel wanted here even when I get to be down in the dumps thanks to these hormonal mood swings. I'm thankful for so many of you.

Last but not least, I'm thankful for my fiancé, my big bear, my Hyunnie. I never would have thought the crush I had on him would turn into anything more. Then he asked me out, and now here we are. I hope that he knows just how much he means to me. I want to spend the rest of my life showing him how much he means to me. I know he'll be a wonderful appa for our baby, and I know he'll be an amazing husband. I love him with all of my heart, my mind, my soul, and my body. There's no one in this world whose last name I would rather take, or that I would rather spend the rest of my life with.

I'm thankful for my career an how well it's been goin this year (Forbes' top 10 most influential people in China ayy)
I'm thankful for all the meigeni who support me an what I do an who make my career what it is
I'm thankful for the fur babies- RouRou and babe's puppy Siwol- even though she craps on almost everything
I'm thankful for my moms who's always been there for me an who raised me to be the man I am
an most importantly I'm thankful for my Queen- it's been a roller coaster since August with a lot of ups an downs- but it brought Jung Taekwoon into my life- I'm thankful for my beautiful fiancé- the mother of my child- an a man who just gets more beautiful to me erryday- an I pray that I get to spend the rest of my life showin him just how gorgeous he really is- an even more so when he's carryin our child

I'm thankful for the opportunities I've had in life, and for second chances. I'm getting older, so I'm looking to the future, and I've had the chance this year to do a lot of wonderful things. I had my Japan Dome tour earlier this year, and I'll end the year with three of my four hyungs this year for our Last Dance performances. Heck, I even bought an investment property this year. I'm also thankful for all of my friends, most of whom have kept me sane these past few months, Ken and Hak especially.

But what I'm most thankful for, is Cha Eunwoo. In his kindness he gave me a second chance after the mistakes I made all those months ago, when no one would have blamed him if he didn't. I couldn't be happier now. I love him, with all of my heart, and I intend to spend every day doing right by him. If there's anyone in this world who could inspire me to do better than I have, it's him.

I’m thankful for my hyungie~ my one and only Inseong Hyung for making me the happiest person alive!!!

I'm thankful for my amazing baby brother Seungwoo, who continues to support me everyday and take care of me. I'm thankful to my members, for putting up with me this long and cherishing my presence. I love you all very, very much.

Ooc, I'm thankful for the admins of this roleplay for doing what you all do and putting up with everyone here. You guys are truly amazing, and I sincerely appreciate all your hard work towards this roleplay. I'm also thankful for unnies, you all know who you are, for sticking by my side and putting up with my crap and rantings all the time. I love you neomu neomu much.
