basement 。

@ΣΥΤ ⁴ minhyun。 i observe you, our swinging hands and all, and the moment itself feels like it's fluttering, bright and soft, reminding me of the last time things had been so pure and.. nice. but as my mind drifts off in that direction and replays the story, sloqly the mood of it all begins changing like it once had, and at those thoughts, i find my once bright expression faltering, my grip loosining at the same time. i sigh, and become composed once again by holding tight a second time, and gazing up at you. the rose-like pink that shades your cheeks makes me flash a small smile, then slpqly shaking my head.
i'm not being silly at all, minhyun. you've just gotta trust me on this one, ok?
i raise my tone slightly at the end of the sentence, leaning in a little closer to you with ny slightly tilted head gazing up at you within the same time. i stand there, almost at a standstill until you nod, a flustered laugh escaping my parted lips, my ldft hand subconsciously scratching the back of my neck, but i then drop it back to my side for seconds before usoing it to lightly caress your hand that is touching my coloured cheeks, making the colour become deeper than before.
stop talking about yourself. sure, you could say i'm attractive but not to that extent- you're the crazily atrractive one here.

() kk!

@ΣΥΤ ³ daniel。 the light swinging of our hands made me feel young again- not that we aren't, but there was a sense of comfort and innocence to the simple action that had my insides tingling with delight, a feeling i've realised i didn't mind feeling whatsoever. fondly, i roll my eyes at your ridiculous words, despite the light shade of pink coloring the apples of my cheeks once more at your flattering words.
you're being silly.
i uttered though with no bite, my words quiet but affectionate in a way, gaze trained onto our connected hands as the pad of my finger grazes over your knuckles, lips tugged into a soft smile at the sight. your confusion had my gaze turn to you once more and i blink once or twice before nodding slowly at your later question, eyes staring at you and your attractive facial features. the moonlight illuminated them which only increased your handsome factor by a whole lot and i couldn't help the chuckle that slips past my tiers as i notice your now lightly coloured cheeks. almost unconsciously, my free hand lifts up to graze the tips of my fingers against the flushed skin as if i was in a daze.
you're just.. wow. i mean i knew you were attractive, but only now i realised just how attractive, heh.

[ ] we can switch to the lake when we start walking mhmm c:

@ΣΥΤ ⁴ minhyun。 a soft feeling immerses me into the moment, your existence next to my own being pleasurable, to a practically immeasurable level. your hand seems like it perfectly fits in mine, and when my gaze travels back to our conjoint hands, i find myself lightly swinging our hands, matching the light-hearted yet fluttering sentiment that seems to surround us and spread around the air, at least in my busy mind. the sound of your whine makes me playfully coo, before i then chuckle lightly.
oh, come on. if you're not cute, then you're adorable. just listen to yourself, really.
i take in a deep breath once we reach the outside, then letting out a relieved sigh before talking to myself quietly.
finally. it's so much better out here..
my gaze goes from the ground and then back at you, as i make eye contact with you, then blinking and looking behind me.
is something going on here? why the wowㅡ
wait..
my cheeks light up with a pink shade, then tilting my head at you.
were you saying wow at.. me? why-

@ΣΥΤ ³ daniel。 your grin was endearing to say the very least and it made me feel calm despite the loud surroundings of the party itself. your touch was reassuring, your presence was pleasant - it was just overall peaceful to have you with me and i appreciated that. my cheekbones at this point were aching to keep smiling just because of you, but i had to control myself to appear poised as per usual, although that was probably pointless at this point as you had already seen me tipsy. at your added compliment, i couldn't help but let out a small whine, a part of me wishing you'd stop flustering me but another part of me enjoys the warm attention given.
that's a lie. i'm not cute, psh.
i tried to retort albeit weakly, letting out a defeated chuckle once we've reached outside. instantly, i was relieved to have exited the stuffy party, taking in a deep breath of fresh air as we stood on the sidewalk. i turn to look at you, now being able to properly take in your good looks unlike before when the light was dimmed down and dark.
wow.

@ΝΓΤ ¹ doyoung。 *seeing how red your face went, I know how taken aback you are by your own thoughts that I actually planted in your head only to disappoint you in the end. I smile genuinely this time and slips my hands in my front pockets, nodding toward the exit from the basement*
It sounds good and yummy, hmm?
Let's go.

@ΝΓΤ ¹ doyoung。 "Yeah? you think so?" He sounds somewhat incredulous judging by the unsure expression stealing across his features, he couldn't help himself since the other had sounded somewhat stiff with the remark. "Relax, it's just me." Taeyong adds, a low chuckle erupting from the back of his throat as he took note of how nervous Doyoung seemed to be in his presence– that too, completely oblivious to the fact that he was partially at fault for being so unabashed with his flattery and compliments. It didn't take long for them to arrive at the freshmen dorms however, the party and it's traces long left behind them as he heads towards the benches just outside the lobby which led up to the lofts. He guides them over to an empty bench before setting all the items down onto the table and unceremoniously taking a seat. "Let's eat!" The redhead exclaims, completely famished as he looks up at the younger with an anticipating simper, radiant and charming.

@ΝΓΤ ³ yanjun。 Taeyong falls silent for an ephemeral moment, letting the weight of Yanjun's words sink in as he takes a quiet intake of air, and then, he slowly exhales before roseate lips finally part to speak. "No, we were just young, reckless and dumb. If you ed up by not realizing—" The redhead pauses, emerald spheres flickering up to meet Yanjun's gaze once more. "—then, I ed up by letting you slip through my fingers. I should've tried harder." A melancholic simper steals across his lips as the older dismisses the topic with an absentminded cough, his heart heavy in his chest. "Anyway, you're right. I'd keep calling you baobei even if one day you get hitched and have mini you's running around the whole place." Their banter feels familiar, and warm. The same warmth he could recall having indulged in a long time before, a time when the two of them were the only ones in the picture. "What do you take me for? I'm not a cheat– unless, well, it comes to certain things. Then again, I'm taking this bet really ing seriously so you can count on me to be fair /and/ win." He crosses both arms over his chest before offering a resolute nod.

@ΣΥΤ ⁴ minhyun。 as you close the gap between us, i let out a contented breath, my thumb then moving to caress your hand softly, yet my gaze falls to the ground for moments as i think, however the emotions i currently feel make my eyes shine brightly even when i'm gazing away from you, the provider of all of these feelings. when i finally glance at you again, i see you looking at me too, a moment that causes the upper corners of my lips to rise, then flashing a toothy grin at you. i hum softly as i stand there, then quieting down as i listen to your words.
it's not flattery, it's just the truth in my eyes. but that's good- you're especially cute when shy.
i nod, laughter pouring out of my parted lips at your pout, then muttering a little to myself.
you're being way too cute, minhyun..
i follow along as you tug on me, swiftly maneuvering past the sea of bodies who were immersed in the loud party, softly exhaling once we reached the exit.
yeah, me too. a nice walk with you sounds very pleasant.

@ΝΓΤ ⁴ taeyong。 as he let's taeyong take the drinks, he can't help but to notice the lack of coverage his clothes give him. feeling apologetic, he wonders if he should offer the other his jacket back - besides, doyoung was never one who enjoyed being an inconvenience to others and he didn't want to risk his senior catching a cold due to his selfishness. before he could begin to pull his arm out of the sleeve as he followed after the other, he found himself stopping at the unexpected compliment. he always thought his smile was a bit too wide and a bit too awkward - but in this moment, doyoung can't hide his grin. "i - your smile isn't too bad either." internally punching himself for his horrible people skills, he made a mental note to buy a compliments 101 book in the future.

@ΝΓΤ ⁴ jamie。 the unexpected answer catches me off guard and my face flushes at what thoughts had been running through my mind, wondering if i was in the wrong for even thinking of such things. my hesitation doesn't falter as i recall your previous suggestive attitude but your change in tone has me confused, unsure of whether i can trust you or not.
i - well, i mean, ice cream doesn't sound too bad...
my voice is low, still wary about your intentions. the uncertainty is clearly evident on my face, the only thing breaking me from my baffled state is your touch, making me reach up to try and fix my ruffled hair.

@ΝΓΤ ⁴ taeyong。 "I think there is something to feel a little bad about. But now's not the time to apologize for a whole history... I ed up, didn't realize what I had, right?" He offers a weak smile, forcing himself to stop talking and just push it back to the unspoken as it had been ever since he'd reconnected with the senior. Moving on, he rolls his eyes again. "Even if I threatened to murder you while you were sleeping, you would just keep calling me baobei, then?" It hadn't been the first time he'd heard a line like that from the other, but it didn't abate the little feeling he got in his chest, brushed off by a gentle shove, "Do I? Only if you win, which I doubt. Oh, and no cheating."

@ΣΥΤ ¹ yuri。 my wild flailing slowly stops at your threat, letting my hand fall in silent defeat as i mutter a string of incoherent words under my breath. before he could even think of something to retort back at the younger male, he felt himself being pulled up and back over onto the couch, landing with a sound that was something short of a scream - wishing he could take back the noise the moment it slipped out. "alright, i guess you deserve bragging rights but don't think that'll keep me from kicking your one of these days," he grumbled up at the other, not even bothering to shy away from the touch.

@ΝΓΤ ⁴ taeyong。 Fingers wring together behind his back, anxiousness and calculated excitement brewing in his chest as he rocks back and forth eagerly on his heels, eyes ranging up and down the man's figure as he nods his head once, twice, and then stills. "Can't be bad, right." Clearing his voice to rid it of any waver, he bears down on his lower lip and swallows thickly, hoping to quell any more questions. "Tomorrow? I'm out of class at 1:15. The math building, I'll be there."

@ΝΓΤ ³ yanjun。 "Don't be, it's us. There's nothing to feel bad about aight?" He wishes he could remain unfazed at any mentions of their past together, one which turned out to be so bittersweet and melancholic to memory. The least he could do was reassure and show Yanjun it didn't matter as much anymore, when inwardly, it very much did. "You kidding? I wouldn't stop to save my life." He's grinning wide. "You look like the next guy I'll be kissing." His response is brazen as usual, as he emits a chuckle. "Two weeks of course. I look forward to winning my bet."

@ΝΓΤ ¹ dunsol。 "We'll grab a drink together next time." Dunsol was drunk, and never in his right mind would the younger be uttering the words he was in a sober state. However, given the circumstance Taeyong didn't feel it was bad for him to respond with white lies, the other appeared to be far too blitzed and the redhead doubted Dunsol would have any recollection of the nights events the next morning anyway. However, his next words have him bite down hard, on his lower lip as Taeyong momentarily tears his gaze away to contemplate over the sudden torrent of emotions crashing over him. Did he hate the other? Sure, he was phenomenally irking, an excruciating pain in the and a massive piece of to Taeyong the moment they'd met but-- did he hate him? "I don't hate you." He finally responds, the words leaving his lips without his conscious permission as he stares at the other finally submit to the beckoning of slumber. A part of him wants to delve lissome digits through the others hair but he refrains in favor of draping his leather jacket over the others sleeping form and walking away. "Can't see us being friends though." He whispers under his breath, lighting a cigarette as he wanders off.

@ΝΓΤ ¹ doyoung。 The temperature had dropped by several degrees by the time he'd stepped out into the front porch, and Taeyong honestly expected nothing short of it to be freezing considering how late into the night it was. Clad in nothing but a simple tank and a pair of ripped jeans, he wasn't exactly braced for the cold of the night-- but then again, it didn't neccesssrily seem to faze him either. He could see his breath rise into the air in puffs following each exhale as he remained mesmerized by it's artistic swirls. "You brought a lot." He remarks the moment he finally see's Doyoung make his exit. "I'm ing starving, let's go." He adds, taking two bottles of what appeared to be Soju off Doyoung's so he could carry it with his free hand. "You have a really cute smile." Taeyong remarks, feeling the need to point it out as he strikes a debonair, and rather boyish grin of his own.

@ΣΥΤ ³ daniel。 with no hesitation whatsoever, i allow myself to get pulled towards you, closing the gap myself by lightly pressing the fronts of our bodies together. i finally lift my head up to meet your eyes, my own gaze soft and curious as i look at you, taking the time to simply take in the moment and take in the wonderful sight of you, not knowing how i got myself into this but at this point, it was a blessing despite our initial intentions. but this felt.. nice. my hand in yours, your presence in my own - it was all nice. your laugh made me smile, the sound almost melodious to my ears whereby i wouldn't mind listening to it often.
did you mean your flattering words? cause yes, i'm feeling a little shy.
a small pout forms on my lips as you were spoiling me too much with nice words, not knowing if i was truly displeased by it or if i was just being flustered and panicky due to the countless 'attacks' by you. your reply had me nodding in agreement though as i use the hold i had on you to tug you to the nearest exit, pushing past the mess that is the party itself.
i could use a breather. maybe we can take a walk, mm?

@ΣΥΤ ⁴ minhyun。 almost automatically, i use our entwined fingers to hold you a little closer, and tighten the grasp slightly. i find my glance traveling around the whole surroundings, and then going back to our hands for a few seconds. the moment starts to feel weirdly satisfying, especially after considering this isn't even close to my first time of holding hands with someone else, although the whole process to this moment was quite unique. i then watch you, noticing as you duck your head away as if to mask something so that i don't know it happened. your actions cause me to quirk ny eyebrow slightly, and let out a laugh at your endearing actions.
oh, is minhyun feeling all shy at my small words?
i speak playfully, another amused laugh escaping me after i spoke.
and it's no overstatement. i'm a pretty blunt and honest person- i wouldn't lie to you like that.
i nod once to affirm my statement, then returning a tiny squeeze to your own hand. my lips protrude slightly as i pause to try and come up with a suggestion, then shaking my head.
i can't think of anything either. what about we just go outside? and then.. everything else can just come with the flow.

@ΣΥΤ ³ daniel。 casually and bravely, i intertwine our fingers together in a loose grasp, eyes trained on our now connected hands and it was weird because i usually took time to be this touchy with someone, but maybe it was because we jumped a few barriers right off the bat so i was already comfortable with you, not that i was complaining. a breathless chuckle escapes my lips at the word 'ethereal', warmth blooming in my chest at the fact that you even thought of me that way as a light shade of red colors my otherwise pale cheeks, head ducking down to hide the fact from you.
ethereal is an overstatement, but thank you.
my words come out soft and almost shy, unlike my more confident demeanor from before. i give your hand a small squeeze, all my attention set on fiddling with your fingers. i let out a hum at your question, thinking of just where to go with you.
i'm not sure myself. anywhere with you would be great anyway.

hey jihoon

@ΣΥΤ ³ yijeong。 "not gonna drop you," he reassured the yijeong, but scowled as the other haphazardly attempted to grasp some part of his body in order regain some semblance of control," you're gonna shave my eyebrows, huh? do that and i'll strap your bruised to an old mattress and toss you into nu gamma's lawn." he tightened his hold of yijeong; he could feel the muscles in his upper arm and shoulders tighten as he swiftly lifted the younger up from himself and flipped him onto the couch,"don't worry, pretty boy. you're not all that hard to lift; had to hoist up many men bulkier than you." yuri looked down at yijeong with a wide grin as he brushed back the sepia strands of his now disheveled regalia.

morning kun ge
