° dive bar

@yang hongseok *sees how your cheeks turn pink, I bite on my lower lip to refrain myself from cooing again*
Well, cheese factory is cute too! Maybe even cuter~
Mhmm that must be so nice. *smiles and nods, a snicker can't be held back when you choke on the word I use, I roll my eyes playfully*
One day, yeah~
I'm sure he is, how else are you this mess then? *laughs softly yet teasingly*
Please, I'm not /that/ baby. I can hold a door of course. I'm a gentleman after all~

@lee seoho *laughs lightly, cheek coloring when you poke and tease* eyy... he's the cute one. I'm just a cheese factory. ...and very much whipped, there's no point in denying that. *laughs again, shaking my head* I know right... I like planning out a future with him...
wait, my future... *widens my eyes and coughs, cheeks coloring at the word "hubby", and clears my throat* it's not... I mean... hopefully, one day... but I haven't asked him. anyways... by all means, talk to him. he's soft and kind and you'll love him. *smiles brightly again* oh, wait... *hurries up when you hold the door open* oh wow, I should have done that as the hyung. sorry. and thank you.

@yang hongseok *sees how your face brightens up and changes once Jinhwan was mentioned, I can't help but grin and let out a whine-like coo as I poke your cheek*
Look at that face~ cute~
Whoa... That's so sweet. That's amazing, hyung! *places a hand over my chest, even though it looks dramatic, it was genuine*
That's really nice. Maybe I should meet my hyung's future hubby no? *glances at you to get your approval, looking at our way again and see we are close before I let go of your arm to open the door for us*

*Sits down at the bar, a cigarette between my lips as I order a double of whiskey and two shots of vodka*
Keep 'em coming... I have some to drown tonight

@lee jooheon *sits alone in the bar, perched atop a stool, feet lightly swaying and tapping against the metal bars as they went to and fro. sighs softly and nurses a bottle of beer that has long gone lukewarm from how slowly I've been drinking it. I finish it off and push it lightly off to the side, pulling out my phone and messaging the idol group chat that I was added to a while back*

"Heyyy, is anyone free tonight?"

@jung jihoon *in my usual black attire, matching my dark silky locks falling over my forehead, I walk into the bar lazily and make my way to an empty stool, sitting down and resting myself on the counter with my elbows. I greet the bartender with a faint smile and order me a strong shot, not remembering the last time I drank properly. I ruffle my hair and lowes my hand to mindlessly rub at my plump lower lip as I glance around the bar casually*

@kang seungsik ((your turn to kick me. I’m serious))
*I almost want to laugh at the way we both gulp for air after our kiss, knowing we’re always so caught up in each other that we forget to breathe, and breathing is important if we want to be together in this life, but what matters in this moment is the way your eyes search for mine, and when they meet, I feel so many emotions flooding through me, your radiant smile driving me crazy to the point of no return*
*I can tell by the look on your face that you’re so overwhelmed with feelings, and I feel the same. all of our promises, especially after all we’ve been through together, are emotionally overwhelming, I can see it in your eyes. though I know we’ll have our hardships throughout being together, i know we’ll never have a downfall because at the end of the day our love is unconditional and stronger than any problem we might face. my heart is flooded with ecstasy, utterly thrilled to be so intimate with the man I’m so desperately in love with. as the tears begin to pour down your face, I don’t bother wiping them with my hands, admiring the crystal streams that prove you’re happy, your heart is 100% mine, 100% in this, and I’m feeling the same exact way. I lean in, softly kissing your tear-stained cheeks, murmuring an “I love you” with each kiss. pulling back, I gently nuzzle our noses together, my hips still making love to you as I whisper* and I’m yours.

@wen junhui Uhmm... *looks at you then laughs softly out of nervousness when you pay all attention to me, shrugging slightly*
It's just... What they say... Away from sight, away from heart.
I could feel me getting impatient, and my enthusiasm and feelings for him slowly dying and I feel so guilty. And it made me hate myself more that you guys partially delayed your wedding for him to be here. And it just made me realize how would I survive your wedding guys without him there? *chews on my lower lip not to cry already* I always imagined how good he'd look in your wedding and how would I imagine our own wedding, especially now that we are engaged. *drops my gaze to my ring*
But... All this is fading... And I also decided if he doesn't show up till tomorrow... I'll stop waiting for him. I can't do this anymore...

@lee yoonji [h] You're welcome, Jiji.
/hums softly and props an elbow on the bar counter, ordering my own drink as well before turning back to you
Mmm, I do my best to keep you updated after all, but we always seem to talk about me and Gyu. Right now it's time for you to vent and get anything off your shoulders. I'm here to listen.
/nods with a soft smile, resting my chin on the palm of my hand as I give you my full attention

@wen junhui Mhmm. Thank you Junhui.
*follows you closely behind and sits down on the seat*
I'm going to hear from you then. *smiles and nods before turning to the bartender and orders me a drink*
I'm glad you solved it. You guys not only engaged but have babies together and one on the way as well.

@lee yoonji [h] I figured that you'd wanna talk about that... And I'm all ears, of course, so vent away.
/nods my head and wanders along until we get to the dive bar, walking inside to take a seat, pushing out the seat next to me
Mmm, I hope so too. He's saying it's most likely some pre-labour symptoms, so that's why we think number three is on the way any day now. And yeah, I think I got that solved. Took a little bit to fix it, but I think now we really will be okay.

/walks along the empty side streets at night and I finds myself in front of the bar, heading inside the building; makes my way to a stool at the end of the bar counter, jumping up onto the seat and leaning against the counter with a hand raised to get the bartenders attention so I could order something strong

Bambam looked at the text and got concerned. He slipped a shirt on and grabbed Jaebeom's car keys. He sat in the car, realizing he had no idea where the other was. "What's wrong? I need to k ow where you are."

@bang sunghoon oh, i am not judging. i am merely amused. i'd love to hear more of them, though.
/with a gentle curve of my lips, i put the pearly whites on display upon releasing a string of simper seeping through my lips so casually and light-heartedly, rendering my face glowy with particular happiness and amusement.
i have never found whiskey bitter.
/shrugs a little yet smiles nonetheless, my expression softening once you mention our comeback, nimble fingers coming through my hair casually/
yes, we had our comeback around 1,5 month ago. i enjoyed this one a lot, it was jaebum's song and we were all so proud. i am right now on a little break before japanese promotions. and yeah, i have. thanks for caring so much, mother.
/adds the last part playfully with a lighter voice, a petite chuckle prompted in the back of my throat before i shake my head and eventually settle my gaze back at you.
what about you? any recent filming projects?

@lee minhyuk {mx} *enters with you and goes to the bar, sitting on a stool*
What would you like to have, MinMin?

@jackson wang (I forgot about this ;; but ill.reply soon^^)

@xiu akay That’s just my headspace right now.
Its not towards you so~ you’re in the clear~
*orders us a round*
I hope it goes good this time for you two. Maybe that engagement ring will remind him each time just how much you love him.

@shim changmin [sh] /blinks a few times
Why are you being negative huh? I'd thi k you'd be happy since you guys have a new album and everything.
Mhm.. I was able to get him to rethink.. Plus I had given him the engagement ring I had gotten a while ago.. I guess it triggered something.

@xiu akay Not counting work. Of course i leave house for work but otherwise I prefer to be inside and just away from negativity. Meaning me being the negative one. Oo~ are you happy now then?

@shim changmin [sh] /blinks a few times/
What do you mean? Why haven't you left your house.. Don't you have promotions and stuff going on?
Hm plus I'm feeling a lot better anyway since we got back together.

@xiu akay Congrats on being the first to get me to leave my house. All in the name of getting you to feel remotely better.

@lin feng song "Sure thing~ I mean, it's not usual that we get to meet like this you know. I got you, no worries." Kihyun then asked the bartender for a glass of soju before serving it to Feng Song. "Enjoy the drink." He smiled as he drank more of his soju, facing the other male.

@kwon jiyong [h] /can almost see through the bravado but I play along and I shiver in fake fear
Go easy on me, yeah? I'm sure neither of us are horrible so it'll be fine
/grins after I speak, shaking my head in amusement when you stick your tongue, watching you get the pool stick ready and then hit the cue ball into the other balls, watching them spread along the table but none going in so then it's my turn
/walks around the table, finding some good angle before I pick a shot, taking aim on the cue ball and hitting it to push a striped ball into the middle pocket
Lucky~

@lin feng song Kihyun then rested his arm on the counter, facing the other male. "I'll buy you a drink for now- I have a lot to make up to. What do you feel like drinking then?" He let out a slight grin.

@lin feng song As Kihyun recognized who the approaching guy is, his lips turned to a smile as he gave a tight hug as well, patting the other male's back. "It's been a looong while- I didn't expect to get to see you here. How have you been doing?" He asked and took another gulp of soju. "Wanna have a drink too?"

@lin feng song Kihyun just arrived in China yesterday as a leisure trip, since he has a few days off from his group's promotions. For the night, he wanted to just hang out with his friends, so they went to the bar to chill. "Soju, please." He asked the bartender, as his drink was served, taking a few gulps while talking with his friends who went along with him. Not too far though, he saw a familiar face in the bar as well, which seemed to be his old friend.

@kang insoo /Watches you set the game up while I steal a few sips from my drink and sets it to the side, I roll up my sleeves as to show off the skills and confidence I didn't have in playing pool. With a smirk of my own I add./
Sure thing, oh now, what if I said that to let your guard down. Just kidding, I'm not that good.
/Sticks my tongue out and winks before taking on of the pool sticks, using the pool chalk on the end of the stick before I lean over, lining everything to my target. I hit the white ball which hits the ones that were set in place only to break apart, spreading all over the surface of the table. Straightens myself and goes ahead to take a sip from my drink./

@kwon jiyong [h] /claims a table for us next to where my jacket is, racking up the balls because that’s generally the easiest thing before I set the cue ball on the other side of the table, getting two pool sticks for us before I notice you and grin, showing you my handywork, walking closer to the table and taking a sip of my drink, humming a bit atvthe dustinct mix
You wanna break? I know neither of us are at our A game but …
/trails off with a smirk

@kang insoo Pepsi and henny on the rocks, gotch ya~ I'll be back
/Heads over to the bartender, ordering your drink and then just a beer for me to start off at least before I decide to switch to something heavy for the night. Places our drinks on the table once I paid and made my way back/
For you~

@kwon jiyong [h] /keeps my smile light, running a hand through my hair, my eyebrows pulled together a bit of concern before grin back a little wider when you look at me, figuring you’re not at your happiest but wants to help alieviate some of the plight
Pepsi and Henny on the rocks.
