and your son is
smoking cannabis
;
after giving jennie the medicine that she needed to cure her headache, she goes to the one person she believes that still has the chance to change her habits.
rosé.
she hurriedly went to her room and opens the door without knocking.
greeted by the sight of rosé smoking, she immediately wanted to get out, but didn't.
before debut, chaeyoung had developed this habit of hers without even getting caught. she couldn't even understand why she does it, but the members just let her be. it seemed like the only thing that can make her calm.
"hey, lalisa! you should've knocked." rosé said as she scrambled the put the cigarette aside. "i'm having my moment here."
"yeah, sorry, chaeyoung." she closed the door behind her. "how are you?" such a stupid question, she thought. "how are you coping.. with this?"
"my smoking habit?" rosé asked and she nodded. "it's okay.. but it's getting a lot worse. i think i can't stop."
"rosé.. if the media finds out about this, our careers are ruined." she sat on the foot of her bed. "you know that."
"i know, lisa, i know." she rubbed her face out of stressfulness. "god, this is so difficult."
"yeah." lisa replied. "i feel the same."
"sometimes, i regret pursuing my dreams, you know? it's hard to cope with the stress that comes with it, causing me to become like this." she gestured to entire room, with messy clothes everywhere and the smell of marijuana lingering in the air. "at first i thought it would be a great idea to have a job that would just let you do the thing that you love."
lisa cannot say anything at the moment, because as always, chaeyoung is right. chaeyoung will always be right.

"but after debut, i started to think the opposite." she let out a shaky breath. "we're still rookies but look at all the pressure they're forcing on us. always trying to compare us with 2ne1 and bigbang sunbaenims. i hate it."
"me too." tears are now forming on the maknae's eyes as she remembered the times wherein their manager would always criticize them, throwing hurtful words at their fragile hearts. this resulted them to have their bad habits.
"oh my god, why are we getting so emotional?" the girl chuckled and wiped her eyes, "stop crying, li. do you want to take a hit?"
lisa stared at the stick in chaeyoung's hand, "no, thanks."
"i don't know how long i can keep up with this act though, but maybe i can still last a few years."
"if you're quitting, chaeyoung, take me with you."

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.
