In all the time he had lived in Magnolia, Baekhyun had never once visited the sweet shop. As he put up a poster, he made note to come back and try out the sweets they have to offer.
@ʰ seulgi k。ᶜᶦⁿⁿᵃˢᵉᵘˡ He takes a deep breath of the fresh, crisp air of the night air. It feels right since it had been raining an hour ago, and now, the cold weather envelops his frame snuggly like a second skin. Finally, Kyungsoo tells himself. That's the only thing that he has been thinking about, all day long. Long shifts, little to none break, he deserves a piece of cake and where more to go other than Happy Pills. There seems to be a special promotion on seasonally themed delicacies, and Kyungsoo wants at least one to bring back home tonight. So, he gets on the bus that goes in the opposite direction from the doctors' residency and patiently waits until he arrives at the bus stop. It is a five minutes walk from the bus stop to the store, and he doesn't mind it one bit. He is happy to see that the shop is still opened and once he steps a foot inside, he notices one slice of cake left on display and rushes ahead. "I'll take that last slice, please."
@jeongin y。ʸᵒᵘⁿᵍᶦⁿⁿᶦᵉ Yeongin's happiness was contagious, compelling the inu to break out in constant broad grin or titters until his facial muscles feel stiff. Sungbin loosened his grasp on the male's fingers, allowing the latter to break free if he wanted- scooping out candies with one hand would be difficult, or so he'd thought. But the kitsune showed no inclination to withdraw from the handholding, rather the said male dragged him along without much effort. By the end of this candy selection, Sungbin had somehow been provided with a plate filled with motherload of candies and a very exuberant kitsune. The demon retreated his hand from Jeongin to fish a pocket-sized wet tissues, "What a child. " he taunted in a joking manner as he pulled out a single tissue to wipe the male's mouth after a wilful shake of head. "Innie, don't eat too much candies or else you'll get full and won't have any space for dinner. You can take the rest packed up and eat it at home, how about it? "
@sungbin b。ᵖᵗᵒ.ᵇᶦⁿ jeongin must admit that sungbin’s presence felt like a protective barrier encircling around him— or them. its like he’s in a little bubble just filled with mystery yet fun, he’s out there to play but not for grabs. it was a weird feeling, and jeongin thinks that he’s intriguing. they never let go, and jeongin thinks he’s roseate cloudy cheeks might end up cracking or breaking from the intense muscle tension of his bright grin. it was true though, showing everyone that walks past the duo how elated he was. his nose scrunches up slightly at the almost overwhelming scent of sweetness and happiness, and jeongin’s eyes twinkle. they enter the shop and with sungbin’s invite, he skips over to the aisles and aisles of the large variety of sweets that range for sugar coated lollipops(personally not his favourite), to marshmallow cookies to bite size chocolate stuffed with caramel. it was fortunate that the shop had plates situated in front of the little display cases of sweets to test try. by the end of his fifth round of rainbow sugar glazed mini donuts, he’s euphoric with the overload of sugar in his system, sugar and adrenaline bursting through his veins. his cherry tiers were stained with syrup and sugar that sticks to the side of his mouth shamelessly, as he tugs and pulls sungbin from aisle to aisle to test try every candy.
@jeongin y。ʸᵒᵘⁿᵍᶦⁿⁿᶦᵉ Sungbin guides them to a cul-de-sac, a tiny sweet shop huddled despondent among the tall buildings. They walk(hands intertwined) on the granite sidewalk smoothly cut into puzzles that fit systematically, oblivious of whether it was mid-day or midnight. Its pastel pink glistening under the golden strays of the sun that'd maneuvered through the dull greyness of the concrete monoliths. A pleasant sound of bell attached to the casing, ring clear announcing their arrival. The interior of the shop was what he'd describe as rainbows and sunshine stored in jars, turning towards his companion with a beaming smile, "We are here, Innie. " Sungbin said stroking the male's knuckles gently. "Go on. Pick whatever you like."
@yoojung c。ᶜᵘᵗᶦᵉʸᵒᵒʲ⁰¹ (it's fine I know what it's like to be busy)
"hey, no worries." Yewon smiled and waved to her friend as she got close. "really I'm just glad you made it" she nods "though I was getting ready to send out a search party to see if the heat had gotten to you" she grins and says in a joking tone.
@yewon k。ˢⁿᵒʷᶜˡᵒᵘᵈᵈʳᵉᵃᵐᵉʳ “I’m coming!” Yoojung was running late and she felt bad. She knew she had to make it up. She wore a frilly shirt that sleeves we on the sides of her arms with a jean skirt and flats she walked into the shop and waved towards yewon coming up to her. “I’m so sorry I’m late.” She bowed apologetically
(I’m so so sorry for the late reply I’ve been busy with work)
@yoojung c。ᶜᵘᵗᶦᵉʸᵒᵒʲ⁰¹ Yewon gets off the bus and heads inside the shop. She's wearing a sleeveless dress with a cherry blossom print on it, a pair of purple flats, her cloth purse. and her hair is in a ponytail. once out of the heat she pulls her phone out of her purse and goes to im yoojung "Hey I made to the ice cream shop, just waiting on you, the a/c is nice in here"
@taehyung k。ᵗᵃᵉˡᶦᵉⁿ He lifts his head up only to glare at you. It was a weak glare that wasn't even intimidating, honestly, for he was blushing too hard and pouting but he did give your shoulder a good punch in retort. Jungkook follows you over to the counter and tilts his head a little as he watches the cashier weigh the bags. She definitely didn't seem like she was enjoying her job on this particular day. It was beautiful outside and store was pretty much empty yet she was still stuck in here, sitting behind a counter. He offers her a friendly wave as he heads towards the exit. "To the park!" Jungkook declares in glee, beaming up at you as he slides his hand into yours. "Let's go."
@jungkook j。ᵇᵃᵇʸᵏᵒᵒᵏ “Well I beg to differ, Kookie.” He coos obnoxiously at you, only teasing though.“That’s cute.” And with that, Taehyung is taking the two bags of candy to the register. The cashier looks more than bored as she weighs the bags and sets them off onto the counter to ring up their total. Taehyung doesn’t blame her though, it must be a slow day for them. He thanks the girl and heads towards the exit, holding the door open for you. “Come on baby, off to the park we go.”
@taehyung k。ᵗᵃᵉˡᶦᵉⁿ "Shut up," he grumbles in response, "I am not." Jungkook leans into his touch and hums low in content, green eyes fluttering a little. His cheeks flush a little when you begin laughing, turning his head into your shoulder in an attempt to hide. "Is it worse if I say that my favorite flavored lollipop is cherry?" Lifting his head and glancing up at you then down at his bag, he takes a quick opprotunity to glance at the candies before snagging several cherry lollipops. "Yeah. Now I'm done. I'm gonna be on a sugar high."
@jungkook j。ᵇᵃᵇʸᵏᵒᵒᵏ “You’re a whole baby,” he muses, reaching his free hand up to caress the side of your cheek, eyes still trained on the candy in front of us. Taehyung can’t help the laughter that bubbles up in his chest and spills out, “Lollipops and nuts, we’re quite the combo. Gay indeed. But, lollipops are nice yeah, but I usually end up get bored and eating them.” I looks down at his bag once more, most filled with gummy worms and snickers. Perfect. He turns his head to cast a glance at you, a smile still etched on his face “you ready bunbun? we can go to the park and eat our candies? It’s not far from here.”
@taehyung k。ᵗᵃᵉˡᶦᵉⁿ He meets your gaze and gives you a flat look in return. "What..? Like the owners of this shop would willingly give you this place over me. Bet, Taetae. /Bet/." Jungkook groans quietly as he reaches into a jar to grab a few Smarties and places them in his bag. "Yeah. Dry. Dry salad. No ranch or Italian dressing or /anything/." He catches wind of the burst of color around your aura and the little smug smirk on your lips. It makes him confused but only for a split second, for he then realizes what he said and how it came off. Huffing quietly under his breathe, Jungkook nudges your arm with his elbow as his cheeks turn pink. Jungkook shuffles a bit closer so he's leaning against your side, nuzzling your shoulder. "Snickers are really good," he agrees. "I like lollipops." That... certainly doesn't help his train of thought; you like nuts. He likes lollipops. The combo made him snort a little.
@jungkook j。ᵇᵃᵇʸᵏᵒᵒᵏ Taehyung only regards him with a look from across the room that says “bet”. He’s always been foolish in terms of money anyways, so maybe, just /maybe/ if he wasn’t unemployed at the moment and had the money to do so, he might’ve actually not been joking. His face screws up in disgust, “dry salad? No ranch? You may look like a bunny but that, that is complete torture. Sounds like my mom and your mom need to have a little talk.” His lips twitch upwards as he smirks to himself, childishly so, at the mention of meat. Taehyung is most certainly going to hell for having such thoughts about someone so innocent. He shakes his head,more so amused with himself, and goes through the aisle absentmindedly putting all sorts of candy into his bag. He feels your presence before he feels the head on his shoulder. His warm bunbun. “My favorite..” He trails off, eyes flickering down to his half full bag, “is the sour candy sprays. Or anything sour liquid. Love it. My favorite candy bar though is probably snickers. With nuts.”
@taehyung k。ᵗᵃᵉˡᶦᵉⁿ Oh... Oh. /Oh./ Jungkook's cheeks began to turn a scarlet hue as he stares at you, wide-eyed and slack-jawed. Hot. He looks hot? "T-Tae.. I doubt my looks right now is worth this candy shop," he stutters out dejectedly, pout still adorning on his lips. He looks away, shy and bashful and filled with warmth. Putting some Snickers and quite a few of Starbursts in his bag, Jungkook turns towards you curiously as he watches what kind of candy you put in your own bag. "My mom was the opposite. She always believed candy and sweets and sugar in general were bad for all of us. She even tried to make me eat salads all day for meals. Dry. Salads." He shudders a little, scrunching his nose at the memory. "I don't mind eating salads occasionally, but... meat is where it's at and I swear I was about to go insane if I didn't have a burger." He walks down the aisle a little, eyeing the displays of candy as he gets closer to you. Once he stands by you, he leans his cheek tenderly on your shoulder. "What's your favorite candy, Taetae?"
@jungkook j。ᵇᵃᵇʸᵏᵒᵒᵏ “What??? Bad?? You??” He gawks at you incredulously. He shakes his head, “No, I just mean you look really ... for lack of a better word, hot. Really hot- and stop looking at me like a kicked puppy right now or I’ll do something drastic like buy this whole store for it.” It’s a ridiculous threat, but seeing that kind of expression on your beautiful face hurts his soul in ways it shouldn’t. He watches as you wander off into the store, internally longing for your hand again which is ridiculous in itself because it’s not like he needed to touch you 24/7. He grabs a bag of his own, ready to fill it up with delicious candies of his choosing. He starts with the chocolate bars, his most favorite in the whole wide universe, snickers. He makes a face at your parents style of parenting, much different from his mothers. “My mom always bought me candy, mostly to cheer me up most of the time. I was kind of a cry baby back then and mom said sugar was the medicine. And it was.” He stops speaking to examine a candy bar he’s not quite familiar with, ultimately putting it back. “Until I started gaining weight rapidly. It wouldn’t have been a problem if mom could afford to buy me new clothes. I was not about to exercise but I didn’t get what I want and that’s why I needed up playing soccer in school. Disgusting.”
@taehyung k。ᵗᵃᵉˡᶦᵉⁿ His eyebrows raise a little at your words, a bit perplexed but mainly fond as he watches you ramble and the vague hand gesture at... all of him. Jungkook looks down at himself, wondering if he had worn his t-shirt inside out for such a dramatic gesture. "Illegal to be this... what?" he drawls in confusion as he peers up at you, flicking his fringe out of his eyes a little; a confused little pout on his pink lips. "Do I look that bad..?" He knew he should've worn a hoodie. Or maybe a different pair of jeans. Or maybe not even bothered with the Timberlands, his go-to shoes. Jungkook follows your gaze and notices the gummy bears and can't help but giggle quietly, leaning over to press a kiss to your cheek as he lets go your hand, wandering over towards the candy. "Well, no," he answers as he places a few Kit-Kats into his bag, "my parents didn't really allow sweets in the house. So I barely had any."
@jungkook j。ᵇᵃᵇʸᵏᵒᵒᵏ Taehyung beams at the attention and compliments, a genuine smile. “I could say the same about you but times ten. I’m not even joking, it should illegal to be this,” hand making a wild motion as he gestures to you up and down, struggling to find another word other than what my mind really wants to say, “yeah.” He finishes lamely, looking elsewhere as if suddenly the big jar of gummy worms was the most interesting thing in the world- until they were. Gummy bears sound so good right now. “I’m buying a jar of gummy worms today, mark my words.” I turns to look back at the other boy, tilting his head about in confusion and endearment, “well yeah babe? Have you not ever been to a candy store before?”
@taehyung k。ᵗᵃᵉˡᶦᵉⁿ Jungkook notices the soft burst of color swirling around you--the color of curiosity--but once again, you don't press about the issue. He's grateful for that. If he was going to be pushed about his past--is it even considered his past? It happened 4 months ago--then he wasn't going to talk about it. Period. But you're patient and kind and open-minded and it makes him relax considerably. The mystery of the Forest Spirit's death was a raging topic in town once everyone saw the forest coming back to life. "Really handsome," he affirms, eyes still raking over Taehyung's form. He himself was wearing very casual and simple clothing. A pair of faded blue jeans with rips at his knees, some tan Timberland boots, and a slightly loose white t-shirt whose V-neck collar dipped to show a hint of his toned chest underneath along with those collarbones. His hair was getting long but he quite likes it this way; wavy, unstyled, and flowing like silk in the wind. "Small bag... Oh, you mean this?" Jungkook reaches up and grabs a bag from the service counter. "I just fill this up? Oh, wow. That's a lot easier than I thought."
@jungkook j。ᵇᵃᵇʸᵏᵒᵒᵏ He gives a soft hum in response to that, pushing away prodding questions. He’ll get all the answers he needs and wants to know eventually. Patience. He quirks a brow at the compliment unable to keep the smug smirk that makes its way onto his lips , off of his face. “Oh yeah? How handsome?” Taehyung doesn’t consider his own self handsome not by any standard, in fact he thinks of himself as just another regular guy. However, Jungkook is a masterpiece, carved from the gods themselves and foolishly let earth have him. Jungkook belonged in the heavens, where angels should be. So if Jungkook of all people calls him handsome while he practically eye-s him, then he’s going to eat it up. “I actually tried today,” he admits rather sheepishly contrary to confident façade just moments ago. He was honest though, with his black thrasher hoodie paired with his favorite ripped jeans and red sneakers- a boyfriend look if you asked him. “Yeah pick anything you want. Unless it’s in a container-like jar, then you grab a small bag and put in as much as you want. Like skittles and M&Ms, those sorts of candies.”
@taehyung k。ᵗᵃᵉˡᶦᵉⁿ ( no you're fine! 3rd pov is fine <: )
His cheeks flamed a deeper shade of red as you press a kiss to his cheek. "I-I was just looking around..." Jungkook mumbles quietly, lower lip jutting out in a small pout. "But... No. I've never been in here before." He never really ventured out of his forest honestly. The only time he did was when he went to go volunteer at the flower shop down the road. When you let go of him, Jungkook turns around to face you; green eyes scanning you head to toe slowly. "You look really handsome today, Tae..." He kept his voice low, not wanting anyone else to hear it but you as he gives your hand a small squeeze. "O-Okay.. How does this work anyways? Do I just.. go around and grab stuff?"
@jungkook j。ᵇᵃᵇʸᵏᵒᵒᵏ (Do any pov you want, I tend to switch unnoticeably)
A soft chuckle leaves his lips before they press themselves to your cheek as an apology, “I’m sorry bunbun, you just looked so cute and unsuspecting.Have you ever been in this store before?” He asks, noting your curious eyes and how looked around in so much wonder. Like a kid in a candy shop, literally. Unwrapping himself from you, he opts for taking your hand in his, intertwining your fingers. “You can have anything you want, baby. It’s on me, my treat.” He says that in confidence because he knows this candy shop like the back of his hand, prices included.
@taehyung k。ᵗᵃᵉˡᶦᵉⁿ ( oh rip dunno why i did 1st pov my b )
Jungkook peers curiously at a sheld full of sweets, pine green irises scanning each candy ready for the taking. Skittles. Kit-Kats. Snickers. Reese's. Starbursts. Smarties. Whatchamacallit--wait. Is that for real? Leaning in loser to the candy bar he does, indeed, note that it's an actual candy bar and can't help but chuckle; finding the name of it so amusing. He continues looking at the other candies on display before jolting a little, startled as arms wrap around him from behind. He recognizes the touch almost immediately and the familiar voice whispering in his ear. A glow of pink dusts his cheeks as his hands slide down Taehyung's arms. "Don't startle me like that, Tae..."
@jungkook j。ᵇᵃᵇʸᵏᵒᵒᵏ Taehyung walks as fast as his sneakers will let him, trying to pace himself so he doesn’t burst into a full sprint trying to make it to the sweets shop. It takes about ten minutes and a very out of breath Taehyung to reach the shop. He composes himself with ease before stepping into the familiar store. He spots the other male immediately, thanks to the lack of costumers, but it seems the boy has yet to spot him. He maneuvers his way around the shop, careful not to be detected, rounding the corner so he’s behind Jungkook. He tiptoes the rest of the way until he’s close enough to wrap his arms around his middle, “Gotcha.”
@taehyung k。ᵗᵃᵉˡᶦᵉⁿ Reaching up and gently pushing the door open, I peer around curiously while takin a few steps in; examining the interior of the shop with a childlike curiosity. I linger near the door for a few seconds before walking further in as to not block the entrance for other people.
@bin m。ᵖᵘᵖᵖʸᶜᵃᵗ "The candy might inside; I don't know." She blinked. "Oh? What are you going to do?" Dannie asked, then watched him move to the back with the water bottles. After he was done, the unicorn smiled at him. "That was super cool! How did you do that?" Dannie followed after him to their seats and sat down, still smiling. "What's this show about anyways, Bin?"
@bin m。ᵖᵘᵖᵖʸᶜᵃᵗ "That's very true. Yeah, they more than likely won't let us bring these in, so...Let's just leave them here and hope that they don't melt!" She replied. Once the car was shut off, she grabbed her purse and got out. The unicorn stretched her limbs a bit before smiling at the sight of the theater. "I'm excited."
@bin m。ᵖᵘᵖᵖʸᶜᵃᵗ "Oh, no worries. I make money at the flower shop, so...let me spend it sometimes, yeah?" She said, grinning at him. "But thank you for offering to pay!" The unicorn took her jar and followed him out to the car, thanking him for opening her door before getting in the passenger's side. After she put her seat belt on, Dannie got herself situated and looked out the window as he drove. "That was a great idea to start the night out with, Bin."
@bin m。ᵖᵘᵖᵖʸᶜᵃᵗ "Ah, so very limited lollipop flavors! That's okay. Not everyone likes everything, after all." The unicorn said with a hum. After finishing up with her jar, she turned and looked at him. "Really? Then, let's go and pay for these and we can be on our way, alright?" Dannie took her jar and walked over to the counter, reaching in her purse for her credit card. "Just this, please!" She said, smiling at the woman behind the counter.
So uh hey guys. Would it be possible after I'm accepted at the new one to be reaccepted here long enough to transfer over my profile and stuff? If not, it's totally fine.
