lake

@jongin k。hachiman It'd been nearly two weeks since Taekwoon had come across his old friend, the man clearly wanting nothing to do with him and yeah, that hurt. Wouldn't it be strange if it didn't hurt just a bit? This was a man that the elder had stuck by countless times, pulled him back from the edge whenever he would go too far, so didn't that mean he deserved at least some kind of recognition when he'd walked into his butcher's shop? Jongin, as rude as ever, although he didn't like how that rudeness had him now, and he'd sure as hell make the man regret it in no time at all. He had the fact he had become good friends with Jie on his side, and what did that mean? Nothing good for the grump of an old best friend Jongin was.

He'd found himself with a rare day off, even the evening and night, he didn't need to hurry off to the host club and work there for another night. No, instead he had time off. He almost didn't know what to do with himself, until he'd remembered he hadn't really had much time out in the fresh air, and whilst his shop full of plants was better than nothing, it wasn't exactly the same either as going out and experiencing the real thing was it? So Taekwoon had found himself at a nearby lake, a small good walk away but good all the way and the fresh air, open trails and high trees were a comforting surrounding for the kumiho.

The weather was mild enough that he'd taken off his jacket whilst he had been walking, never having liked been too warm when he was out and about. So he leaned his backpack and jacket against a fallen log, the man perched atop the log as well as he took a moment to catch his breath and drink some water, all whilst watching the still, almost eerie lake in front of him. It wasn't too long before Taekwoon could sense a familiar presence though, his hair raising on the back of his neck as he turned his head just slightly to one side, his teeth sinking into his bottom lip as he tried to hold back a small smile.

Honestly, what were the chances Jongin was going to turn up here, today, of all places and now? Clearly something was making the two men interact more than usual, but for now Taekwoon waited, biding his time and waiting for the man to make himself known.

@samuel k。bimbogami She sighed in relief when the other decided to sat down.The goddess may be look relax on her outside appearance but in all truth, she kept thinking on what to say to the other. Silence was never her cup of tea, it's making things scary for her. She perched, fidgeting hands in her lap and as some thoughts were circling on her mind, staring at her reflection on the river until she can't bear the silence that was rising around them. She cleared "Do I make you uncomfortable?" she said, with all tranquility that she can put in her voice she hoped that the other will answer her this time. The goddess have heard about bimbogami and all of the warnings that the other gods and goddesses including the servants have given to her. But it doesn't seem to fit right on what her eyes see, their detestable words that they spit out of their mouth made the goddess thought that they don't deserve their names. The goddess took a glance on the other "You don't need to be so tense around me. I don't have the power to harm you." she said, giving the other a soft smile as a sign that he doesn't have to be afraid.

@heeyeon a。kishijoten The bimbogami stare at the other with caution. Who knows what the other would do to him. He have encountered numerous gods who are very honest with their dislike of him. Albeit their devine nature, gods and goddesses can be as vile as the devil. The Bimbogami snapped out of his thought by the other's soft voice. He do nothing to answer the goddess' question as he kept his defensive posture. He knows better than to be swayed by gentle appearances. At the mention of his tears, his hand immediately went to touch his face. And there are tears, he did not realises that he was crying before. He was just reminiscing his unfortunate life. He wipe the tears away with his sleeve. Once he saw the goddess step away and settle down few meters away from him, his mind tells him to run away. But something told him that, it's okay. The other won't hurt him. He's tired of running away, so he choose to listen to his that something. Slowly, he sit back down onto the log. His posture are tense as he look back at the lake. And silence ensues.

@samuel k。bimbogami As the goddess grew closer, she seem to know who this man is- no it's a god. It's the god of poverty, Bimbogami. That made her curiosity grew even more, but to her surprise, the other seemed to panic. She immediately stopped on her tracks, she was sadden when the other told him not to come close. "Are you worried that your misfortune will come upon me?" she said in a soft voice, hoping that it would calm the other and take a sit again. "You look like you were just crying.." she whispered to herself after she took a look at the other's face, she wanted to wipe those tears but forcing the other even if he doesn't want to is too much. She slowly walk at the side of the river, sitting on a rock stone, she doesn't know how far she is from the God but it looks like it's meters away so that's good. "I won't force you, I'll just sit here." she said, giving the other a smile as a sign of reassurance.

@heeyeon a。kishijoten The god of poverty sense a presence approaching. He knows that the approaching entity is not human, but it's not animal either. Compare to humans, animals have strong instinct of survival. The animals can sense danger and threat, and his misfortune is a threat for them. How cruel. He can't even have animal as his companion. So of course the in coming creature is not a mortal being. His thoughts are correct when he saw the entity. He get up from sitting in surprise , and immediately took a defensive stance as he take a step back with his palm reach forward. "No stop! Don't come close!" The bimbogami shout in panic, his face still wet with traces of tears from before. Of course he would panic. He don't want misfortune to fall onto another. That was never his intention nor his nature. Not even once, of all his existence. So he stop the other from coming close to him. Especially not another one of his being, a goddess. Yes. He knew the goddess in front of him. She is what the humans love. The one whom they longed for and cursed him for it he get close to them instead of her. Kishijoten. Even though the other is a goddess of fortune and has the possibility to overpower his, he doesn't want to take any risk. Even he doesn't know what kind of misfortune will befall onto someone until it was too late to be save.

@samuel k。bimbogami "My lady, you are ought to prepare for--" the servant must have give up nagging at this young goddess as she run off making her way to the lake.The breeze made her dress move as if it was alive,some locks of her hair swept across her features, loosening it and made the hair stick fall off on her tracks, she finally felt like she's free. Not so long, the young goddess finally arrived at her destination. A blush crept on her face as she look at the beautiful nature that surrounds her. The young goddess smiled as she slowly walks around the area, she hummed at sight, going with the flow of the beautiful nature, but she stopped on her tracks when she saw a man, not far away from where she was standing. The air around him must've rose the curiosity of the young goddess. She finally stepped forward, approaching the man.

@heeyeon a。kishijoten A figure sitting on the log beside the hidden lake. The lake is calm with its water clear with small fishes swimming inside it. No one would expect to see this lake in the middle of dense forest full with vicious wolves. No human would dare to enter, not even a hunter. The figure is an exception. He's no human. He's one of the god. A lonely god who is despised by all, but his only wish was to have a friend. He doesn't want any wealth nor power, just a friend. But it seems to be a heavy wish. Misfortune will be fall upon to anyone who approaches him. No matter the nature of the creature. It ended up the same. Thus, the God of Poverty sit by the late. Staring off a distance. With drops of tears fall from his eyes. Alone. Like always.
