@Jung Sooyeon /my eyes follow the cigarette on its way down, mentally grimacing as the ashes are crushed against the floor/
/however, my features remain still as I watch you struggle towards the window. for a second, I feel sympathetic/
Never mind that. Messes can be cleaned. /I shrug, waving a hand dismissively/
But I think what you've got is a bit harder to deal with. /folds my arms loosely across my chest/
/it's obvious you're having a hard time dealing with *something,* but I'm mentally debating whether or not to ask/
Since I went through all the trouble with putting up more 'No Smoking' signs just to catch you. . .
/I hesitate slightly, knowing I may be prying/ Think you can humor me with your story? /leans against the wall/
@Won Jongjin Thank you for understand me like always, Jin.
I will see you, later.
/its a miracle itself that I can hold myself from burst into tears in front of you when its quite hard to hold my emotion in right now;walk out of your house and goes straight to the elevator, letting the tears fall down on my cheeks freely/
/feel quite grateful there is not one around as my vision start to get blurry because of the tears;steps into the elevator once the door open/
I-I'm so sorry, Jin.
/furiously wipes my tears away even the effort is useless since my stubborn tears still dripping down like a rain;jogs to my unit once the door open, fumbling little bit with the key but somehow manage to enter my house anyway and goes straight to my room, lock myself in there/
@Ahn Sukyung /Senses there's something wrong with you, but of knowing you for years already, sometimes it's better to let you go to calm yourself first and then can always ask for it later/
Peaceful sleep...? /Trying hard not to spill out any of the unnecessary words which might can hurt you more/
I will try not to worry but...
/Starts to think whether there's people talking bad about you again just like before, they used to say that you're using my family for your own needs but as I knew you very well, I know who you are and your family a bit even though you never really talking about them/
Sure... Just take your time and rest well... Okay?
@Won Jongjin /stumble back a little as impact of you pulling me;swallow the lump on my throat down as I look away, trying not to let the tears fall down just yet/
nothing. I just want a peaceful sleep but you are not letting me to get one. So I figure that I should go back to my own home and take a nap on my own comfy bed.
/let out rather bitter chuckles, desperately hoping my voice don't crack as its getting harder to control my expression; suddenly thinking when it start to be hard to tell you everything like I used to do. perhaps its because we are both adult right now that I don't want to burden people with my problem, especially you and your family/
its nothing really. so don't worry hmm?
/curses inside my head when a single tear manage to escape from my eye, trying to pull myself from you before I break into tears/
I just need to go now.
@Ahn Sukyung Heol? When did you start to use such words my lady? The Kyung I used to know is so polite and kind... But she's gone now. Ah- That is why I asked you to practice the using of honorifics between us. But then you refused and said, 'Jin, stop being so old and lame. We lived in a modern life anyway.' And by that, now you're being such a rascal and start talking strange.
/Shakes my head/ I know that. You're never sane anyway.
If you ever sane, even for a second, I would be gladly throwing a part special for the debut of your sanity.
/Keep on caressing your face, enjoying the moment because to actually care for you is mainly of the main reason why I'm letting you to stay/
It's not called clinging to my family. It's called helping.
Let them say whatever they want Kyung-ah.
/Startles for a while when you suddenly get up from bed and quickly reaches out to pulls you back, not wanting for you to leave. Yet./
What's wrong?
@Won Jongjin heol. grandmother? please. I'm too hot to be a grandmother. at least I'm younger than you anyway.
/my lips curls upward into another small smiles at your statement/
you know my sanity is never really been here. I don't need my sanity or reality right now.
/as absurd as it sounds, I think by staying inside my shell is the only thing I can do to keep myself from getting hurt by the harsh reality of mine considering the fact I couldn't get over my past even I don't show it to anyone, not even to you; quite enjoying your touch on my face since you rarely show your affection toward me/
/let out soft sighs when you seems dont have any intention to let me sleep in peace/
that's the point. I have to stop clinging on you and your family, Jin. I want to stand on my own feet. I don't want to be like what they claimed me to be!
/get off of the bed immediately as I could feel my eyes brimming with tears; doesnt know why I suddenly being sensitive like this/
I think I will go back now. Call me if you need anything okay?
/quickly storm out of your bedroom, heading toward the main entrance, refusing to let my tears spill in front of you/
@Ahn Sukyung Annoying or not, might not be the biggest reason why I'm letting you to stay in line, associates much with my life's surrounding. You can be quite understandable like a grandmother at times. So I need to keep you around for a good advice, only when your sanity is around.
Of course... I'll get bored if you two are away out from my life.
You both were just too precious to let go. Consider me as an idiot if ever did so.
/Rubs your face gently, knowing how tired you might be with all the works you did/
I always tell you this... I can give you proper job or my mom can even recommend you to any of her friends... But you rejected them all.
/Chuckling hard and senses the movement of your body as it getting closer to mine/
Is that a command? You know, I don't receive such command from a tiny voice like you.
@Won Jongjin even we both are so annoying you couldnt help but missed us terribly if we don't bother you. and not to mention that you love us to death anyway.
/clicked my tongue and swats your hand away, not wanting you to mess with my hair more/
but you have to admit that you are going to get lonely when we both is not around. we are like part of your life already.
/let out soft snicker at you;open my eyes/
because I have two job to do sometimes, mr obvious. so every sleeping time I get is precious. But I seriously going to reconsider to get married and be housewife and just raise up my children while waiting my husband come back from work.
/moves closer to you anyway and close my eyes back;chuckling inwardly/
yeah. perhaps I am perhaps I am not. either way, shut your mouth up and let me get some sleep before I go.
@Ahn Sukyung Whats with the sudden laughing? I'm telling you the truth here. I don't know how did you manage to get yourself a job... I think people need to start practicing mental's test before landing a job to someone nowadays.
/Looking at you for a while before lying down beside you/
Hm? Why? Why I let you get into my life? Isn't that obvious?
Because my mom asked me to do so. And you're likely to be the second mom after my mom which you both are so annoying and keep telling me to eat and do chores and you know, acting like a mom.
/Pats your head hard and laughs/
Why lacking some good sleep? You always sleeping like there's no tomorrow for you anyway.
Go hunt for one. I don't think there's any prince who dare to save such damsel like you.
/Burst out laughing when you want to cuddle together/
Did you just... Expressing your secret lust towards my undeniable attraction of being a perfection? Be honest here girl, you just want to cuddle me in and fall asleep in my arm, right?
@Won Jongjin /burst out in laughter at your statement, find it quite funny right now/
so mind telling me why did you allow me to be around you since we are in high school till now? does that mean you are actually not in your sane mind?
would you be my sugar daddy then? like damn- you can keep hot chick like me.
/place the pillow under in between my head and hand after I shift my position to lie on my side;grinning cheekily at you/
couldnt help it. I lacking some good sleep lately.
/close my eyes as I mutters that thinking about my job. no matter how bad I want to quit, it was the only income that I have right now/
unless a prince save this damsel in distress, that would be totally different thing. do you want to cuddles together?
@Ahn Sukyung The whatever of your sentence is just too annoying to be acceptable by a simple human being. I, Won Jongjin, is currently in the state of sound mind and totally sane enough not to keep you around me.
Especially with your level insanity. It will drive me crazy.
Ah- So now you did admit I'm so rich like Bill Gates and want to it all? I mean- my money...
/Looks at all the frame, nicely stand on the wooden table and decided that I'll put your picture somewhere in between them/
Magic touch? More likely to be the wicked touch of a witch. And you seriously need to change your job. You know you can always ask a job from a useful guy like me.
/Knocks your head when you praising yourself and laughs/
Nightmare, by that I mean it could bring corruption to my poor heart dear.
/Looks at when you lie down on my bed, takes the pillow and throws it right at your face/
You just doing few little things and acting like I've been asking you to build the house.
@Won Jongjin yeah whatever. Just say it if you want to keep me to yourself, babe.
I totally have nothing against it since you are rich. I can leeching on you anyway ha.
/smiles smugly at you, acting as if I will really do it/
shussh- just accept my beautiful artwork and it up or you do it yourself.
/turn to look at you and throw you daggers look before I walk to arrange the frames on the small table beside your bed;clasp my hands together after I done with my work/
not that bad. I still have this magic touch even after years. good job, sukyung. Lets change your job after this.
/talking to myself and nods my head proudly after that/
pft. bet you wouldnt be able to sleep simply not because of you hang my picture in your room but its because you couldnt stop staring at my flawless face. is there anything is, darling?
/shamelessly lie down on your bed, stretching my hands up looking like I just done doing heavy work right now/
@Ahn Sukyung Yes, first, meant to chase them away from you. Like I said before, you're meant to be alone and stranded here with me. Although I might or might not getting married soon, I still want you to be single forever. Like, to keep the not so purity mine of yours.
And no- /Waves hand dismissively/ You're not right, not even close to it. More likely getting into the misconception of your delusional world again.
/Hands on , judging your work from behind when you start arranging the frame-/
Why placing them all at the same place? Thought you're one of the Davinci descendant. Then mind to tell me why did you out it there? Uhm- Your picture...?
/Shakes head and burst out laughing/ Why do I need to put your picture in my room? Like what sort of connection or relationship do we have that could lead me to have a picture of you anyway?
Plus, I might not be able to sleep at night if I ever hang your picture somewhere in my room. It's a total nightmare, don't you think so?
@Won Jongjin by hardship you mean you were trying to chase them away from me actually. Am I right or am I absolutely right, my little devil?
/casually walk in and sit on the edge of your bed;couldn't help but imagine to strangle you in my head/
let me look at those frame first. you know I'm quite artistic when it come about arrange some things.
/stand up and walk closer to you, peeking into the box and pick up few frames;couldnt help but smiling widely at certain funny picture of you/
curtain? oh well, you can always believe in me. In my choice of color anyway.
/pats your back rather hard whilst I already plan something inside my head for you;walk to the wooden space at the window and start to arrange the frames not in chronological of event but rather trying to build up 'story' with it/
dont even have my picture here? tsk.
/clicked my tongue after I complaint that/
@Ahn Sukyung It's a heaven for me to tease you by using that way- You know,
tossing around your embarrassing moments and your weaknesses.
So later, if you ever get married to someone, I can use them to test the guy, whether he'll be able to overcome those hardships.
/Raises eyebrows, such a weird expression suddenly came across
my face and I just laugh/
Nah- By body I mean brain. I'm having problem where to
put all those frames. Whether on the wooden space at the window
or just on the table or anywhere you might find suitable.
It's a dead end for me to keep thinking about it- Well...
At least for now.
/Gets up and walks to the frames box, taking few out of it and remember not to let you see the one which I kept inside my wardrobe/ And another thing. I need you to choose bedroom's curtain for me... Just remember not to buy any striking color which can give me instant headache, okay?
@Won Jongjin I said quite mentioning my past embarrassing story you handsome man.
/give you dirty look before I collect your plate and glass as well;is about to walk to the kitchen but had to halt my movement when I heard your statement/
that sounds scary suddenly. what are you planning to do?
helping you hold something heavy?
/continue to walk to the kitchen and put the dirty plates into the sink before I start to wash it;wipes my hands dry after I done with the dishes and walk toward your bedroom, hands on my hips/
so what should I do anyway?
/mentally grimace seeing the color of bed sheet of your choice; thinking to change it later when you are not here and throw away the dull color bed sheet/
@Ahn Sukyung Will forever not ready to tell you that.
/Sighing heavily and forces a smile, although part of me keep telling just to tell you the truth but then... It's better to keep thing as a secret for time being anyway/
/Nodding my head, signing that I understand your gesture and smiles/
Yeah- Done with eating. And you little girl who used to cry over a cat, you need to help me with something after this.
Your body is the necessary part for my next things to do.
@Moon Hyuna /jerks my head to the door of the restroom and quickly throws down the cigarette smother it with my foot/
I-I'm alright. /looks at you with puffy red bloodshot eyes and walks
over to the window stumbling in the process over,opening it while
waving my hand around to help get some of the smoke out/
Sorry about the mess and the mess before that.
/stuffs the pack of cigarettes and my lighter in my purse and leans
my head against the wall inhaling deep breaths of fresh air/
I'll be out of your way as soon as possible.
/nods my head once and taps my hand against my leg counting to 100
as my breathing become steadier my the second/
@Jung Sooyeon /an audible sigh escapes my lips as I spy another cigarette on the floor, the sight of it crinkling my brow/
/I crouch to collect to collect the offending item, only to be greeted with more—a trail leading outside/
Got you. /I rise to my feet with a hint of smile, privately congratulating my brilliance/ About time too.
/pushing open the door, I take my first step outside, where my senses are immediately assaulted by smoke/
/I blink through the white haze to make out your features, hazel locks and a pale, nervous complexion/
Excuse me? /my approach is careful, a bit hesitant, but I’m undoubtedly curious/ . . . Are you alright?
/I had planned to sound more displeased, but the anxiety in your eyes and the jittering of your hands shakes my willpower as well/
@Won Jongjin /let out soft sighs, knowing something is really wrong judging from your face but decided to not push the matter further since I don't want to ruin your mood/
alright. Just tell me when you are ready. I will jut wait for you.
/reach out to give your hand gentle squeeze before I retreat my hand back;stand up and pick up my empty plate and glass/
are you done yet? if you are, let me wash the plates and glasses and you can continue to clean up around.
@Ahn Sukyung / Knowing that sooner or later you'll know about it so I decided not to tell a thing and just play dumb/
Nothing happen. Mom just exaggerating things around. My father and I, we just not in a speaking term for time being. The relationship doing fine, just not good.
/Looks at you and flashes a smile, although I'm not really feeling like smiling/
He done nothing and so did I. You know- Like I said before,
things get complicated. I wish I can tell you that. But I can't, yet.
/Laughs after hearing you and mind reader power obsession. This is not the first time you talk about how you really want to jump into my mind and read everything inside my head/
Please don't. You might die if you ever know what I've been thinking everyday.
@Won Jongjin /noticed the change of your body language after I mentioned about your father;swallow the macaroni first before I speak/
don't tell me that you are not in good term with your father? what have you done again, Jin?
/scratch my forehead as I look at you, knowing some story from your mother as well that sometimes you and your father are not in good relationship/
or perhaps what have he done do you this time?
/tilting my head a bit after I put down the fork after finishing my meals;clasp my hands together as I give you rather serious expression/
you know, sometimes you are the one who like to keep more things to yourself than me. I have to confess that there is time that I badly want some mind reader power so I can know what's inside of your head actually.
@Ahn Sukyung Stop abusing my - This girl really-
/Waves hand dismissively while mocking on your expression,
chuckling hard when heard you talk about my dad. It's well aware that I do not have good relationship with my father for this past few years because of something but I never tell you about it/
Yes. Just tell my father and for sure he will say nothing.
/Laughing out loud upon seeing you bite a chili, giving two thumbs up and shaking my head/
Childish. Now who's the kid eh...
I know- I know. DOn't worry. I'll find one. Later.
