Hongdae

Hongdae was lively which wasn't unusual for any night - let alone a Friday night. The atmosphere was bright and buzzing with the voices of hundreds of people combined with music (both live and recorded) and the buzz of delivery scooters as they cut their way through the crowds. Not wanting to be separated, Rui squeezed her arm through the space between her older brother's torso and arm, linking her own limb with his much to the older man's distaste. "Hey, cut it out. People are going to think we're dating," he said in Japanese, voice slightly raised to be heard over the din. Blinking, Rui looked up at her Haru before scoffing. "Yeah right," she responded stubbornly, "We look too much alike for that, dummy, but since you wanna be weird about it, fine." Without another word, she unlinked their arms and settled for holding onto the strap of his messenger bag. He simply shook his head but said no more, simply paying attention to his surroundings as he tried to find something for them to do. They'd come to the area in search of some entertainment, but never actually came to a conclusion on what that would be. After a few minutes of squeezing past people, both drunk and sober, Rui's nose caught the scent of fried dough and cinnamon sugar. Delivering one sharp tug to the handle, she effectively regained Haru's attention as the force tugged him back a bit. "We haven't spent time together in forever, so I think you owe me churros," she said, unphazed by his annoyed look and ready to turn on the puppy dog eyes if necessary. Seeing no need to argue, the male simply shrugged and changed course for the little stand much to his sister's delight.

@★ Jeon Soyeon The hug surprised him, so Jaejung just kind of stood there accepting it. He was having a mini debate in his head over whether or not to reciprocate it. When he finally decided to do, Soyeon was already pulling away before his hands could even lift up. He nodded at her promise to text and watched as she went into the building, just to make sure she was okay. Once she was inside, he started walking in the direction of his own dorm. Her message came through a few minutes into the walk and he read it, smiling at the content. He decided not to respond though, at least not until he got into the dorm. Once he was in, he sent of a quick message. "Made it and that's right, practice room. See you then!"

@★ Park Jae Jung Soyeon nodded her head and smiled at Jaejung sweetly. She faced him the moved in to hug him around the shoulders. "of course!." She says happyily then pulls away to face Jaejung with a caring smile. "Yeah.... I should probably go, but I'll text you okay?" She says cheerfully then pulls her bag over her shoulder more. With that she headed into the building and up to her room. She layed down on the bed then texted Jaejung. "Just got home, Thank you for tonight~ I'll see you tomorrow in the practice room right? And text me when you get home!

@★ Isabella Kwon {Bella} (Jaejung's not just going to run after some stranger, so we'll have to either discuss next moves or reorient this)

@★ Park Jae Jung Bella saw his reaction of her touch and thought to herself 'am I really that ugly..' She sighed aloud and looked up at the boy. "Yeah your right I guess, well I'll see you around..* She nodded firmly and walked past the guy as she walked out. "Aish.... What is it with me and guys..." She mumbled aloud and walked down the street glancing at her phone as she say down by a nearby bench. The guy kept replaying in her mind. "Does he even know who I am?" She scoffed and bit her lower lip thinking. "Why does he look so familiar..."

@★ Isabella Kwon {Bella} "Good," he said with a small smile. "Yeah, no, don't worry. I'm perfectly fine.." His sentence trailed off as she started brushing off his shirt, surprised by the action. Clearing his throat, he snapped out of it and took a step back, not particularly fond of being touched. "These things happen all the time," he continued, offering a friendly smile. "No harm no foul."

@★ Park Jae Jung She smiled warmly and took the phone from his hand gently placing it in her back pocket as she gave a firm nod. "I'm alright, are you okay? I should have been looking at where I was going!" She sighed and dusted his shirt off before smiling up at him shyly.

@★ Isabella Kwon {Bella} With his parents practically hogging the piano at home for work and his lack of desire to go to the company building, Jaejung found himself at his favorite music store. It wasn't the closest thing, his apartment being nearly an hour away by bus, but thr ride was well worth it. As he walked into the store, bell above the door tolling away, he greeted the familiar staff and made a beeline in the direction of his favorite piano. Only, he didn't quite make it before somone smacked into his shoulder. In the time that she took to bow, he'd already knelt down to pick up the device. "Don't worry about it," he said, handing her the phone as she bent down. "You're okay, right?"

@★ Park Jae Jung Bella looked around the music store aimlessly. She wondered why she was pulled into the music store, but hey she loved music so what was the point of mentally complaining about it? She smiled to herself as she strummed some of the chords on the guitar. When she was finished with looking around the store, she started to walk out staring down at her phone wondering where her mother was that she hasn't replied to her. She felt a muscled shoulder bump into her as she dropped her phone and apologetically bowed to the person before bending down to pick it up.
