Fanfic Series: The Heartbreakers, Chapter 1. Life of a Heartbreaker
Hey guys, here's the first chapter of The Heartbreakers! As ususal, this can also be found in the forums here.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
Seohyun was checking her account if she has any requests. She scrolled down on the endless list of jobs that she had completed. Being a vampire, she had broke countless of hearts, as have her unnies/
“Why not take a rest, Seohyun-ah? You’ve been too dedicated to working as a heartbreaker. Have a heart.” Taeyeon, her oldest sister, teased. Her other sisters chuckled.
“I don’t have a heart, we all don’t.” Seohyun said while scrolling down and recalling the girls she served and how jerks were their boyfriends.
“Look! I have a new request and she’s asking me to meet her tonight. Wow. Humans never stop having their hearts broken, don’t they?” Tiffany said before closing her laptop.
“I’m come with you, unnie! I have a long list to be checked. I might as well start trimming them down.” Seohyun said as shut down her laptop and fixed her bag.
“Mortals are too weak. They always get their heart broken; they never learn how to fight for what they feel. Pssh.” Hyoyeon said.
“But that’s why we exist.” Yoona added, blowing on her newly polished nails. “All of them are fools when it comes to love.”
“Well, we have to thank Lucifer for cursing us never to fall in love.” Seohyun said, fixing her make-up and putting on some eyeliner.
She’s a real badass, giving off a fierce vibe. She’s not-maknae-like in this group. Taeyeon’s even bubblier than she is.
“By the way, where’s Yuri-unnie?” She asked, still fixing her eyes.
“She’s hiding from the TVXQ gods. I think she failed her last mission.” Yoona said coolly while brushing the tips of her nails dry.
“What???” Taeyeon exclaimed. “That brat, now why didn’t she tell me?!” Taeyeon let out a sigh. “Now I have to go to the TVXQ gods and beg for another pardon. She should have told me.” She shook her head.
“Come with us, unnie. Look for her in the land of humans. So we’ll be back together later.” Tiffany said, while patting Taeyeon’s back to comfort her. “It’ll be fine. Yuri’s a good heart breaker, it’s just that our maknae here is the best.”
A slight pink hue appeared on Seohyun’s cheeks as she blushed a little and exclaimed, “Unnie~ Stop that.”
“Come on, let’s go.” Taeyeon pulled down her blouse and dusted them off. “Wake Jessica up when it’s time to hunt for dinner.”
“Oh, come on. That lazy girl will wake up if it’s about eating.” Hyoyeon said.
“Did I hear eating???” Sooyoung suddenly appeared on the doorway which started Seohyun as she was standing by the door, ready to leave.
“Unnie!!! You should really stop doing that!” She playfully hit Sooyoung on the arm.
“We shouldn’t waste our fast reflexes you know.” Sooyoung said jokingly, stretching her arms up and wiggled her hands.
“You’re only fast when it’s about food.” Hyoyeon said making everyone chuckle.
In a few moments, they arrived in the city. SM’s hideout was extremely far from the city but it takes a minute for the girls to go to the city since vampires travel really fast. Tiffany turned around as she sensed the place where she’s supposed to meet up with her ‘customer’. She pursed her lips with a shiny lip balm.
“I’ll get going guys. Found my rendezvous point.” She said looking back at the girls with her only to find Seohyun. “Where’s Taengoo?” Seohyun shrugged her shoulders and then suddenly, Taeyeon came running from a distance.
“Ah, jinjja. You guys should wait for me! I’m not a fast runner like you!” Taeyeon shouted from a distance.
“Ahjumma! Ppali! I’m leaving! I’ll see you both later!” Tiffany said and waved goodbye. She disappeared in the crowd after.
Taeyeon panted as she reached Seohyun. She held onto her knees while giving off heavy breaths. “Aish…jinjja. Have you guys never tried travelling slowly?”
“You’re getting old. I can’t believe a vampire’s aging.” Seohyun teased her unnie.
“Y-yah!” Taeyeon stood straight and hurled her hands on her hips. “That’s disrespectful! Besides, we don’t age,” She said, with a frown forming across her face.
“Do you need help in finding Yuri-unnie? She’s got long legs, you know.” Seohyun continued teasing Taeyeon, looking at her unnie’s short legs.
“Of course not! I can do that on my own!” Taeyeon shrugged.
“The last time I checked, Yuri-unnie runs faster than me.” Seohyun said, “Anyway, I’m going! See you later for hunting!” Seohyun waved goodbye but shot a glance back at Taeyeon. “Don’t make us wait for too long!” She said chuckling and continued walking until she blended with the crowd walking along the busy streets of Seoul.
Taeyeon sighed and went on her own way.
Seohyun was playing with her cellphone when it beeped. She was sitting on one of the benches in the park where little kids where playing. She had actually enjoyed the sight of light-hearted kids; sometimes she’s just tired seeing tears from the girls who ask her to break the hearts of their exes. She ended her game and opened the message. It was from her former ‘client’.
It read: Thank you, unnie. My boyfriend and I are back together.
Then another message came saying, ‘My boyfriend became sweeter than before. Thank you!” then more messages came.
“How many hearts have I broken and healed at the same time? I’ve really been working a lot lately. Same things always happen. Yesterday’s always like today. I roam around, meet different guys, make them fall for me and break their hearts until they return to their precious ex-girlfriends. It’s a mystery why I never get tired doing this. Maybe breaking hearts is kind of fun. Or maybe not. Or maybe I should just check on my bank account.”
She finally stood up and went to the nearest teller to check on her account that must have been filled with payments from her customers. They’re using the money to become the kind girls they should be. They can’t be who they are always so most of the time, they disguise as cutesy girls, or lady-like or a demure one. It just depends on the guy they’re going to deal with. They also try their best to hide their identity, moreover, as vampires.
But as she was checking on her account, a click of the gun was pointed on her right temple.
“Give me your money.” A rough voice said from her back. She sighed. “Humans, they never get tired of this, do they?”
She immediately grabbed the gun and turned around, twisting the guy’s arm and pinning him down on the ground.
“You’re messing with the wrong girl.” Seohyun said before twisting the guy’s arm further.
“I should be breaking hearts, not arms.” She hissed, letting go of the guy’s arms and swiftly disappeared from sight.
Her eyebrows were crooked, pissed off big time, as she went back to the streets heading towards the coffee shop her next customer awaited. The smell of coffee burned her nose. Human food was never pleasant to vampire’s sense of smell. But she managed to just breathe normally, getting used to the various scent of food they encountered in their lives as vampires.
She looked around, spotting the girl who hired her. She walked towards her and took the seat across the girl.
The girl was crying, “A-are you Seo Joo Hyun-shi?” She sobbed in between words.
“Yes, I am.” Seohyun said, “Stop crying. You did not hire me for nothing, right?” She tried comforting the girl. “Now, the papers.”
The girl extended her hand to Seohyun and handed her an envelope. “He just broke up with me a few days ago. Damn that guy.” She cursed.
“What exactly did he do?” Seohyun asked, holding the envelope, not yet opening it. She was too used to reading the likes and dislikes and hobbies of most guys. She might have even memorized them all.
“Oh, Joohyun-shi—“
“Seohyun, it’s Seohyun.”
“S-Seohyun-shi… Neh.” She sniffled then continued, “he’s actually a very good looking guy. His body is well-built. He’s incredibly tall. I’ve never seen him around before I met him at the train station.”
“Continue, I’m listening.” Seohyun said in a clam manner, while not making it obvious how uninterested she is to listen to these heartbreak stories. She never felt for them mainly because, she’s a vampire cursed to never feel love at all but also because this is probably the 10th case she handled today. Working with too many guys is sometimes irritating too.
“I was so broken when I broke up with the boyfriend before him. I went through a bad break up with that ex-boyfriend of mine, I hurt him a lot. But I felt so stupid that time that I wanted the train to crash me into piece” She said. “And just when I was about to step onto the middle of the railings, this guy came and somehow saved my life.”
“So you fell for you savior… I see.” Seohyun nodded with subtle disinterested and boredom.
“He took my all insanity away, I felt sane when I’m with him. He’s just perfect; it’s beyond what words could describe. He’s like Daniel and I Lucinda in the novel. He was the best thing that ever happened to me; he cared a lot, he… he made me feel loved.” She explained.
Oh, good lord, she was crying harder now. “B-but he broke up with me just as everything was perfect. He broke my heart the same way my ex-boyfriend did. He did all those stupid things in the end too.”
“W-what do you mean?” Seohyun asked just to get into the conclusion of how the guy broke her heart.
“He left without any closure. He met up with me in the train station where we had first met; he said he’s never coming back. And that he’s not capable of loving. That everything he did to me was just a favor. And that my ex-boyfriend still loved me so much that I should get back to him instead. In a second, he ran towards the other end and the train passed… and then he’s gone.” The girl sniffed. “He did not even let me utter a word to even hold him back…” the girl finally wiped the tears.
“H-he asked you to come back to your ex-boyfriend?” Seohyun grew curious about the guy. Of all the situations she handled before, it’s her first time to hear that. Her ears perked up and she paid attention to what the girl was saying.
“Yes, he did. And that lame ‘I’m not capable of loving anyone.’ line of his, it’s… it’s just so stupid but it broke my heart.” The girl suddenly started crying again and then she felt her nose bleeding. “Oh, God…”
“Y-your nose… it’s bleeding.” Seohyun wrinkled her nose. She tried to hold her breath since among all the SM members… she was the weakest in resisting human blood.
“Y-you need to go.” She said. Her eyes glared a golden-red color to the girl making her back off a little. “I’m serious, just go and—and clean yourself up. Stop crying over that guy. I’ll hunt him. I mean I’ll find him for you and break his heart too.” Seohyun said avoiding the girl’s eyes.
She followed what Seohyun said abruptly and stood up. She left the coffee shop covering her nose with her handkerchief to stop the bleeding.
Seohyun can still smell the blood stinging her nose. It’s too sweet. It’s been so long since she last tasted human blood. But it was wrong… Soo Man would surely send her back to Lucifer if she tried biting a human.
Seohyun was suddenly lost her mood. She was still supposed to meet up with two guys that she was currently dealing with. But she just wanted to ditch them right away. She grew a little dizzy; the smell of sweet human blood lingers on her nose as if it was the most expensive perfume.
“H-hey, Seohyun, baby…” Someone suddenly hugged her from behind.
“Nice. One of the stupid guys caught me.” Seohyun thought and she rolled her eyes. The guy started sniffing the alluring scent of Seohyun’s hair from behind.
Seohyun tried to get the guy’s grip off her but he wouldn’t budge. So she tried harder. The guy almost screamed with the pain.
“Get off me.” Seohyun glared. She just knew it was sparkling in with that golden-red hue again.
“W-what happened to your eyes?” The guy asked, Seohyun avoided the guy’s gaze. No mortal should know that vampires like her existed.
“Nothing. Hey, Taeyang.” She said looking back at him, making sure the golden-red sparkle wasn’t visible anymore. “Did I mention before that I never really liked you?”
“W-what are you saying?”
“I was saying that I’m going to meet my boyfriend in five minutes. So I have to go. Taeyang-shi, goodbye.” Seohyun said, leaving Taeyang behind.
She quickly disappeared into the busy street of Seoul that Taeyang didn’t had the chance to go after her. Taeyang really liked Seohyun. But little did he know that Seohyun was just doing it for IU—Taeyang’s ex-girlfriend.
But instead of calling IU, Taeyang dialed his bestfriend’s number. “Hey, hyung… can I ask you something? About the Heartbreaker’s online site? Can you sign me up? Yes, give me the details when to meet up with the guy. Someone broke my heart way too easily tonight.”
Seohyun proceeded right away to the next venue—to another boy she’s to break up with. It was the last for the day anyway. And same break up lines she uttered probably for the nth time.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t think we’re meant to be… maybe this love isn’t true. The sparks and fireworks were all gone… I’m sorry. I can’t feel you anymore.” Seohyun muttered under her breath as the guy before her was almost crying.
“I-it’s okay… maybe you’re right… I’m plainly stupid…” Myungsoo said.
“I’m sorry.”
“Stop it. Stop saying that. It’s okay.” The guy said and forced a fake smile.
Well at least this was easier to handle than Taeyang.
Seohyun slowly walked away from the guy. She checked the list on the cellphone and marked Taeyang’s and Myungsoo’s names. She clutched the envelope from the girl to her side thinking she’ll just work on this case tomorrow. She definitely needs to hunt some deer down and suck the blood out of the poor animal.
She met up with her sisters on the park near the forest.
“Ooh, look who’s late.” Taeyeon said, who’s standing in the middle between Tiffany with the smile on her eyes and Yuri, who has her arms crossed on her chest. “And look who caught the fastest runner!”
“Shut up, I’m off to suck some bloody animal.” Seohyun said without stopping by her unnies and disappeared in the shadows of the forest.
Her three sisters exchanged looks, Tiffany and Yuri shrugged their shoulders. Taeyeon mumbled, “Human blood.” Taeyeon sighed as she shook her head. Then the three of them followed Seohyun in the darkness of the forest.

[Translations] Jessica interview with celebrity lifestyle magazine @ star1
Recently, Jessica did an interview with celebrity lifestyle magazine @star1 in which she talked about her experiences with photo shoots, working on her drama “Wild Romance”, and her real self.
Q: How did you feel about doing a photo shoot alone on a rainy street?
A: I did a few photo shoots in the rain before, so it wasn’t that hard. However, I was a bit lonely because I rarely do photo shoots alone and I had no other members to play with.

Q: Do you usually like the rain?
A: I didn’t like the rain when I was young…but recently I started to really like it. Sometimes, I enjoy the feeling of listening to rain-themed songs on rainy days.

Q: How are you doing after the drama “Wild Romance”?
A: I’m currently resting. I’m enjoying the rare moments of sweet relaxation since I’m not part of a musical or a regular member of a variety show. I meet up with my friends and acquaintances. I’ve also visited my family members in San Francisco.

Q: You made an attempt at a serious drama with “Wild Romance”. How was it?
A: It was very interesting. I would do it again if I got another chance. The drama itself wasn’t hard, but I had so many difficulties trying to organize all my schedules because I had a lot of international performances. Adding on to that, I didn’t have enough time to prepare myself because the decision was made on such short notice. For that reason, I felt like I didn’t show everything I could do. It was hard but enjoyable work. I found it very interesting to create an emotional plot and carry it through. It was difficult in some aspects considering the fact that the character had a lot of inconsistency regarding her emotions, but I enjoyed the challenge. I want to do a bubbly or a melodramatic character next time.

Q: I assume that you were a bit burdened by the Korean language, which is still slightly difficult. How did you handle the script?
A: Daily conversations are not hard at all. It’s the difficult words in the script such as…hmm…old sayings or anything related to legal matters that were hard to understand. However, I was happy to be able to learn more Korean while filming the drama.

Q: From Jessica’s point of view, singing and acting: what are the differences?
A: Many celebrities talk about their sense of ecstasy on stage, but I think I’m a bit different. Personally, I like listening to my own voice inside headphones. The sound of my voice streaming out from the radio gives me an odd feeling. I think that feeling is what stimulates me and gives me a sense of joy.

Q: Many members of Girls’ Generation are now doing solo promotions and individual activities.
A: I’m cheering them on. I feel proud. I.. have actually had a dilemma since my trainee years. I had always thought about what to choose and focus on between singing, acting and dancing. I even had a “slump” period because of this. “Dancing” is defined by Hyoyeon, “Singing” is defined by Taeyeon, and “Acting” is defined by Yoona… I had a hard time thinking about how I should characterize myself. But now, I’m different. I try to think positively about everything. I still want to experience a lot of things in many ways. Wouldn’t that eventually lead to a unique image of Jessica?

Q: There’s the Jessica image we all know, but I wonder what the “real” Jessica would be like.
A: I don’t get out of bed when I’m at home. I read, use the computer, listen to music, I even eat on the bed. I take care of everything on my bed. (Jessica is also known to be the sleepyhead in Girls’ Generation.) I don’t really like going outside. I like to wear comfortable clothes if I do go outside though.

Q: The name “Jessica” gives off a very stylish vibe.
A: Honestly, I don’t really like to decorate myself. I like comfortable fashion. The majority of the fashion items I look for on the internet are very basic. Knits, leggings, huge bags… These are the items I usually buy. I especially like shoes and bags, but my shoe size is 225 so it’s really hard to find a pair that matches. (Translator’s Note: In Korea, shoe sizes are measured in millimeters.)

(Translator’s Note: In Korea, shoe sizes are measured in millimeters.)
Q: You look really thin. Do you have a dieting secret of your own?
A: I gained a lot of weight after the drama ended because I went around everywhere eating. During the filming period of the drama, I was around 40-41 kg. When I actually do go on a diet, I use a training technique that does not form muscles. Of course I also control what I eat, but I don’t follow it too often.

Q: You have been given the nickname “Ice Princess” since the debut days. Does this fancy and cold image burden you?
A: I personally like the nickname “Ice Princess”. But my actual personality is so different from my image that people who are close call me “Clumsy Jessica”. I don’t dislike the cold image though. I think it’s my unique advantage compared to others.

Q: It has already been five years since you debuted when you were in your teens. A lot of time has passed since then. What are some of the things that have changed?
A: It’s true that I held onto first place awards. I always had a greedy thought that I should most definitely focus on getting the award. Now, I think my field of vision has widened. The most important thing I think about is whether or not I, or Girls’ Generation, made a satisfying stage rather than hanging onto awards. Honestly I don’t really cling to awards anymore. I have also found the nerve to laugh off any negative articles. I think this is a peace of mind that time has taught me.

Fanfic Series: The Heartbreakers, Chapter 0. Synopsis
Hey guys, starting from today, we will begin a new series of lineups in addition to our usual articles and photo stories. The fanfic series will be the first of more exciting developments to come, so do follow and support our works!
Without further ado, here's the synopsis for chapter 0 of "The Heartbreakers"
__________________________________________________________________
The Heartbreakers
SME is a private and secret league of heartbreakers. Its members were divided into groups: TVXQ – the highest in rank next to the boss Lee Soo Man. They only handle situations only when absolutely necessary—or when their hoobaes fail. They’re also assigned to punish those who fail in their missions. Super Junior – the seniors and expert heartbreakers. They are rarely hired since most of them were mentors to their hoobaes. Girls’ Generation, the lady-heartbreakers. They’re mostly assigned and hired by those shattered girls to break the hearts of men who left them. SHINee - they are hired to break the hearts of teenage school girls. F(x) - the girl version of SHINee - trained to break the hearts of school boys. Exo-K and Exo-M are the newest groups in the league. They had suddenly came to Lee Soo Man without any warning, but he had no choice but to take them all in the league.
How are they capable of breaking hearts?
That’s simple.
They’re immortals, non-humans and are not capable of falling in love. They have lived forever, so they never dwell in loving a person. They are vampires, born of hellish descent. As if fallen angels, they sided with Lucifer. But they also departed from hell and they were cursed to be vampires to lure humans. Lucifer cursed them to be incapable of falling in love. In simple words, they can’t fall in love, so they become heartbreakers.
Mortals visited the secret allegiance known as ‘SM League’ through their website. They sign up and then they choose the right heartbreaker to shatter the hearts of their exes. They are dangerous, but promised themselves never to drink human blood ever again. So they only meet those whom they’re supposed to give heartbreaks and those who asked them to do so for payment. This is their job, their living.
In a town of hot and gorgeous vampires, a town of heartbreakers, who’d be the first to end Lucifer’s curse and fall in love?
Seo Joo Hyun, the youngest member of Girls’ Generation, also known as the most famous girl group heartbreakers under the SM label. Her mentor is Super Junior’s Kyuhyun. She has been working as a licensed heartbreaker together with her 8 unnies. She’s the most efficient one since she’s the maknae. She always succeeded in her missions and was able to bring back the broken hearted boys back to their exes who hired her. She was never punished to have failed a mission.
Kris – He’s the oldest member of Exo. Being under the same label, he’s in the group with 11 other guys. They’re newly hired but Kris has been one of the best heartbreakers around. His mentor is Heechul, who trained him to be a perfect and smooth operating heartbreaker. It’s just that Kris has a little secret going on with the rest of Exo-K and Exo-M. TVXQ respects him a lot for having a good start as a heartbreaker.
Kim Jaejoong – He left the league a few hundreds of years ago. Seohyun never got the chance to meet him personally, but she had heard a lot a about him. He’s stronger than TVXQ, he’s much more powerful than anyone else. He has reasons why he left, but what if there are reasons to be back?
But what if these three heartbreakers clash for a mission? Will they stay as the heartbreakers as they are? Being the badass heartbreakers, will they never let their guards down?
“I was supposed to be the heartbreaker, not the one broken.”
