☼ :ㅤlake

after bidding goodbye to her alter, she drives down to the greenery where she just want to sit by the lake and have some time alone to herself. parking right on the unpaved road which there are various ways to get to her final destination, she gets out and breathes in deeply while slamming the door close gently. "the air is fresh as always. i love you, nature," she says to nobody but the blowing breeze and the slightly faltering flowers with the trees around her firmly rooted to the ground. she then raises her head to look upwardly and sees the blue sky with clouds passing by with the small opening formed by the trees to allow sunlight in. "that's beautiful too." she takes in another deep breath and closes her eyes as if to relax as the nature intends it to be before reopening them and continue on her walk through the forest first. chatters of squrriels and birds chirping fills the air accompanied with her feet crunching the fallen tree branches underneath her sneakers. she hops from one exposed tree root to another before finally coming face to face with the still waters of the large lake, rays of the sun reflecting off its surface. "and even more beautiful here," she adds on with a soft smile gracing her lips. her legs moves to get into a small jog towards the edge, sitting on the nearby large rock and crosses her legs underneath. "Do i really deserve to be here...?" That question was asked to nobody but herself and nature around her.

@☼ : soojoo hong。 [ ] always struggling to reply to you rip ;;

Whatever internal conflict he had been just mere minutes ago, Chanyeol had already ceased to remember; their existence faded, disintegrated, turned into dust- gone away with the wind. The light, caressing breeze that barely grazed by them was analogous to the particular envision; indicative of time- passing of time- the past, rendering denoted history irrelevant. For once, time didn't elapse for him, rather, it stood still, its dynamic nature sustained, slowed, just long enough to make Soojoo his world- all that he knew. "Creative.. Sounds too complicated.." He mumbled, closing his eyes and resting his cheek onto the crook of her shoulder. "I don't want complicated.." There wasn't anything to hold him back, only feelings that burdened him- urged him to be senseless; thoughtless, and just solely feel- indulge. Gone were the usual masks of facade and playfulness he hid behind, no mind games he could play to try and deceive, trick or fool the opposition with. This was as good it gets, it was simply just who he was as a person. She felt warm, so close to him like this, in his arms. He felt comfortable; free of troubles, guilt, self-loathing- numbed out, careless, nonchalant.

He pulled back- the lack of sight making unable to visualize her demeanor as she told him to confine himself back in his suite. Also, the inability for him to steady his spinning, dizzying mind and consciousness made it challenging for him to infer anything, just based on the sound and tone of her voice. Eyes heavy but open, he looked at her with a pout. "That's no fun. You're a party pooper, Soju.. Are you trying to get rid of me?"

@☾ : chanyeol park。ʰᶦᵃᵗᵘˢ [] wys. Shh its okay bb. :3 you good

Silence had always been thriving when it comes to confounding the female’s thoughts and feelings. At some point, it’s been her ally, giving her the solace she needs in her world filled with mishaps. There were days too that it had the habit of amplifying the fact that she’s a lonesome ranger. Yet the one she and Chanyeol were having in between them was another thing she couldn’t conclude at all. It wasn’t the deafening type, nor was it the opposite. But was it really the silence that clouded her or his inner thoughts she’s yet to crack? That thought in mind was on repeat. As her lithe digits traced his cheek, she bared with his pace, not wishing to rush him. Soojoo momentarily allowed darkness to blind her sight, lids closed as she felt the rough parts of his veneer with that same gentle smile before looking into his eyes.

The girl wanted to think that she’s an intellect, one of the finest out there, but in actuality she was an airhead most of the time, blaming it on the lack of sleep. How she failed to take in consideration that very simple fact, she didn’t know; and she couldn’t care less when the other indulge in her touch. Quick to grace him with the luxury not all people could get from her, Soojoo had let her thumb draw circles just above his prominent cheekbone; a gauche chuckle slipped past her tiers. “Well we just have to be creative.” But what came next stole the brightness from her visage. Gravity pulled the flask down, a chink sounding at the contact with the gravel bed. It wasn’t mere selfishness for the ardent spirit though; she fretted about the prominent casualty of him being more washed out than he already is. The female prepared to reprimand him.

Haplessly, her intent was altered by the man’s bold onrush. Their sudden proximity had her disconcerted, frozen before long. The rawness of the night went powerless when heat started to brim within her. As soon as he spoke though, it brought her back to her senses, his lousy words quite triggering. Albeit her eye roll, she tittered, hand making its way to his broad shoulder. And just when she thought she’s off the hook of such a rollercoaster, he zeroed in on her, arms encasing her. Her eyes widened and his statement wasn’t of good help either; for to do what she wants never leads to anything good. Insistent on keeping him steady, Soojoo held her stance. Once she was able to find that balance, her resolve pointed to the escape route. Yet her arms were drawn to do the same for him, giving comfort down his disturbed soul. Her narrow fingers played along the back of his neck, her breath hitting his ears when she sighed. “You should go home.”

@☼ : yoongi min。 /knowing very well you're not exactly going to bring yourself here, especially if you have that choice, so i simply pack a couple bags and have you bundled off with me
/a bus ride and short walk later, with unanswered questions along the way, i lead you to a clearing where a lake opens out in front of us, making me smile as the sunlight glints off the surface
c'mon
/tugs you along with me, my hand naturally in your own as i lead us a little closer, the bags in my other hands whilst i have jog with you to a nice spot under what looks like a weeping willow - plenty of shade for you
/asking you to wait a moment i lay out a couple blankets for us to sit on, weighting them down before i gesture for you to sit down, having even brought along one of those neck pillows in case you wanted to nap
/kneeling down on the blankets i rummage through the bags, taking out this and that before i find what i want, the sun protection lotion, rubbing it into my skin before i hand it over to you
don't forget your ears. they burn quickly
/murmurs without a thought, just knowing you well enough for it to be habit by now, offering you a quick smile before i'm pushing myself back up to my feet
/curls my long fingers underneath the hem of my t-shirt, tugging it up and over my head leaving nothing but bronze, sun-kissed skin beneath, draping my shirt over one of the lower hanging branches, my shoes slid off and leaving me in just the swimming shorts beneath
/pushes my hair back from my face before i turn to the water, glancing over my shoulder at you and smiling that boxy grin of mine before i speak up
i'll see you in a bit
/rushing off past the low hanging foliage of the tree i make a beeline for the crisp looking waters, that almost childish delight morphing into something else entirely
/when i cut into the cool liquid, the water spraying up at my sides before i lose my footing, i dive into the water when its deep enough, disappearing beneath before i resurface and honestly look like something out of an old book full of fairy tales about sea folk
/treading water as i brush my hair back from my face, i laugh and lift my arms up above my head, sighing in delight as i tip myself back and disappear beneath the water again
/this time when i resurfaces its in long, powerful that my arms take after slicing through the water, sending ripples outwards towards the edges whilst i swim
/coming to a stop a little while later in the centre i just calmly tread water, droplets of water clinging to me as my damp hair does the same, my head turning to look over my shoulder again as i try spy you from where i am, waving just in case as my laughter carries across the water and land

@☼ : soojoo hong。 [ ] ashdgahdgshas im so sorry my replies and aren't as good as yours ;;

Torn, conflicted and in opposition had been his guilty conscience before, but now his mind was on the verge of opaque; hazy, clouded and compromise- floating in limbo. Especially when Soojoo physically reached out to touch him- offering a contact of camaraderie upon his cheek, after the punch of annoyance to his arm. Unlike him, he didn't react, staying mum, maintaining the tranquil ambiance of their surrounding scenery. The delay in response truly reflected his compromised state now; Chanyeol failing to answer the latter without a sustained pause. It was an attempt to gather his disorganized thoughts, or try to, as he hopelessly found himself just getting lost in her eyes. And the way she laughed again, but this time with the lack of memories its sound brought up.

"Some random.. we're in the middle of nowhere, Soju." He spoke softly, finally pointing out the obvious fact. Chanyeol leaned more of his cheek into the gentle grazes of her fingers, gently reaching down to her hands- prying the girl's hold of the flask, its light weight ignored by the dullness of his senses which was coming on frighteningly fast to his liking. Chanyeol momentarily retreated from the closeness of the latter, just to see if there was any remnant of the moonshine, not wanting to drink any less than she had. He immediately gulps the vile, hot liquid down, ending their on-going task of trying to finish the awful concoction, ditching its hollow emptiness to the ground.

He doesn't stop to think- Chanyeol then proceeds to just lean in up close and personal, walking right up to her, staggering his height to make himself more even to her- resting his chin atop of her shoulder, taking wrongful advantage of her kind, generous offer. "Getting your ear.." He mumbled quietly into her sense of hearing, chuckling softly at his lameness. "I want to do whatever you want to do." Chanyeol then says, his arms enclosing around her petite figure as an innate, uncontrollable reaction- his support, to steady himself from swaying considerably on the spot.

@☾ : chanyeol park。ʰᶦᵃᵗᵘˢ It was his propensity to exhibit such spirited disposition that kept her from knowing his depth, eventually steering her to think he’s incapable of having such a pensive state. Yet, that very moment seemed as if it was solely designed to prove her wrong. Gone was his usual boisterous self. The female started to question if all he allowed the world to see was ever true. Such appalling smell of cheap liquor was all over him and although he had that curve on his lips that outright spelled mischief, it doesn’t take a genius to unriddle that something was off for the lad. Particularly when his eyes betrayed him the most. One thing is for sure: she wanted to unravel him.

Soojoo was undecided whether to take his statement as a compliment or a blatant slur, not that she was taking his words seriously. It’s just comical that even when inebriated, he didn’t miss a shot at getting or at least trying to make her peeved. Hand balled into a fist, she aimed at the other’s arm in a gentle revolt, eyes rolling in feign annoyance. “And this is why you’re single.” Her small laughter launched right off. Watching him closely, her gaze switched back and forth between his flushed face and that flask, trivial worry surfacing from innards. “You’d probably end up doing that with some random woman out there if you don’t stop anytime soon.” In an attempt to spare him from such possibility, Soojoo reclaimed the cursed vessel, downing half of it’s content only to remember that she’s not one to speak as she can’t hold her own drink. ‘I could’ve just thrown this’, she thought to herself. The taste had once again cracked her facial features, feeling the burn it caused down . Nonetheless, she smiled at the other, swinging the flask in hand as she eagerly listened. To see him in such a vulnerable state was something foreign but engaging. She felt the uncertainty of the man to talk about his thoughts, his feelings. Reaching up a hand, her fingers caressed his cheek, careful not to cross his personal bubble. “I won’t push you to talk but know you have my ear whenever you want to spill.” Eyes glued to his, she offered a small comforting beam. “Or we can do something, if you want.” She followed.

If life were a movie, I'd be the lowest rating.

@☼ : soojoo hong。 He was all lazy smiles at her company, the specific expression being a projection of intoxication and as well, liking towards her. The latter emotion was on amplification, strengthened by the prior; his consumption of alcohol. Chanyeol had wanted a distraction, and she was the perfect one- too perfect. Something about the way in she tinkles out a delicate, soft chuckle instantly dissolves the horde of troubles that had been ingrained in his mind, moments ago. Chanyeol can feel what was once their affixed hold upon his thoughts weaken- slipping away, along with whatever barriers- feeling comfortable.

Abrupt laughter fell out from his lips, the way in which Soojoo's changed to an unsubtle visage of disgust at the taste of the horrible booze, being the cause of his amusement. "You're too pretty that as soon as your face derps, it becomes hideous." Chanyeol snickered. "But see, this is exactly why I'm drinking that on my own." He remarked to her, snatching the flask back from her before throwing his head back and taking another, awful long swig. "Ugh, that tastes like a one night stand gone bad." He comments, before providing an answer to her last inquiry. "Same, and just.." Chanyeol hesitated. He had been pitching rocks into the lake as way to relieve his raging emotions, but now that they had been suppressed down with the arrival of the latter, what was there to do here? "I was upset about something, before. So I was blowing off some steam by throwing some rocks, but I think I'm okay now." He cautiously spoke, in the process of determining exactly where his own feelings were gravitating towards to.

Or- officer hops

Hey nanay

bb

Comes here again and kicks my legs in the water.

Looks around just in case anyone was checking before jumping into the lake and cooling off. I missed you, water.

@☾ : chanyeol park。ʰᶦᵃᵗᵘˢ The sky had bled to death, gloom covering the vastness of its reign. Yet its one of the most celebrated demise as luminaries radiated their gentle beam unto every possible veneer they could touch. And she could only look from below, her lowly sight not being able to behold the glorious parade of incandescent mourners behind the curtains of the night. Soojoo breathed in leisurely, allowing her advertency to feel every bit of air flowing in her system that induced such calmness to her rigid being. And in collusion, the breeze wrapped her in its firm albeit gentle hold, along with the trees that swayed in such gracefulness; the bustling of their lush greens refreshing. She breathed out, the warmth of her breath rebelling against the chilly air. In all honesty, she was inept to recollect in mind the last time she actually felt such connection with her surrounding. Oh how glad she was to be in perfect solitude.

She wanted to see the water and how it envies the stillness of heaven. For an unknown reason, every single time she would affix her gaze on the lake, she would have this rugged desire to go in in defiance of the fact that she can’t swim for her own life. But, somehow, a feeble voice nearby caught her senses; one that sounded like a madcap. Body then alert, she set out to scout where the sound originated. Following the race of dried leaves the strong wind insinuated, the female made chary steps towards her destination; the lush started to fade as the view of the open gradually unfolded. The soft rumble of soil below her every step snapped to heavy crunches as gravel frazzled one another; and there a man was. It’s a stunner though when she ascertained who the figure was, having psyched herself that this would be a lonesome night. Not that it was bad. In all honesty, she’s glad to see him. Her once emotionless face was adorned with a serene smile, eyes looking at the stone he offered and to what the other was clutching to. She chuckled, taking in the stone in her palm. “I should be the one asking you that. How dare you enjoy a drink on your own?” Stepping closer to him, she took the flask and took a sip of whatever the icky stuff was, making a face at the aftertaste. “But yeah, just needed some fresh air. You?”

@☼ : kangjoon seo。 [mmmmhhh oh MY GOD ITS BEEN TOO LONG IM SO SORRY T^T ]

Baekhyun opened his eyes when he heard another male's voice. "Kangjoon?" He had only passed him by when he was dance or sing-practicing but his voice had something unique that Baekhyun could recognize. Maybe the tone or he didn't exactly know. He shrugged as he thought to himself before he sat up on the branch. "Of course! Everything is better with a lil company, yeah?" He chuckled as he jumped down to meet him halfway. "Do you come here often?" He reached out the blunt for the other to take.

@☼ : soojoo hong。 A chilled evening, with the moon glowing bright- the purity of its light casting a swaying a reflection down onto the water of the lake. The sounds of subtle dynamic flow created by the body of water would make its presence intermittent, occasionally breaking the quiet ambience of the forest that surrounded the view. Even with such breathtaking scenery before him, Chanyeol found that its natural tranquility did little to nothing to ease his mind- to dampen the cacophony of his conflicted thoughts. All weekend long, he had expected that if he had enough distractions, he would be able to obtain the perfect getaway- the perfect escape. But he hadn't, the more he had tried to forget, the more he remembered the pressing matter on edge- in intricate, eloquent detail too. It was eating him up from the inside out- a debilitating force. He didn't like it- he didn't like it at all.

Flask in hand, and one rock out of the pile he had collected, Chanyeol tossed the rock up and down lightly, catching it in his single hand before he held it, pulled back his arm, and chucked it across the lake with all his might. "And strikeee one." He said to no one in particular after he heard it land inside the lake and make its sound of arrival, laughing boisterously to have caused such a ruckus amidst the calm water. Taking a sip from his flask and groaning at the absolutely disgusting taste of the moonshine he had bought out of sole curiosity, Chanyeol bent over and picked up another rock, standing back up slowly when he heard the sound of snapping twigs, rustling leaves. The noise changed- growing steadily in volume, until it changed to that of crunching gravel; sediments of the bank that made up the lake's edge, where he too was currently standing. He smiled. Her unexpected presence brought forth a sense of comfort. "Sojuuuu, what are you doing here all by yourself~" Chanyeol picked up a rock, holding it out to her.
