Street

@Kwon Jiyong Unlike the other couple, Joe and Jenna wasn't that physical. They talked about family background and professions, to hobbies and favorite music. There was no obvious flirtation between the two, though Jenna constantly had her hand around Joe's arm, sometimes on his chest, not that he minded.

The playful remark was taken as a compliment and it brought a smile on the older's face. There was a hint of tension and slight awkwardness in Joe's part when their eyes met. Those eyes seemed to gloss with harmless mischiveous glint. Nonetheless, he held it until it was time for him to make a payment for their desserts.

Jiyong's first stare went unnoticed. It was assumed that the younger male was only taking in his features in order to familiarize him. But when it came to the second stare; he could feel something was up. "How did the two meet?" He asked Jenna, loud enough for the other two to hear. Once their treats were ready, Joe took his and went to a table near the counter to settle down.

"Well why don't we ask them?" Jenna turned to both Jiyong and Caithlyn while shoving a spoonful of sweet heaven into .

@Joe Manganiello [ what do you mean 'not that good'? I like it, don't worry :') ]

When they shook hands, Jiyong felt a certain kind of aura around the tall male. He eyed him a while longer even after he had introduced himself before turning his head towards the long-haired female next to him, giving her a questioning smile. "Caitlyn," she then said, peering at him through her long bangs before hooking her arm into his, pulling the group into motion. Their first stop was the ice cream parlor and Jiyong was pleasantly surprised to hear Joe treating them all. He nodded, pleased, and gestured a thumbs-up towards Jenna as he nudged Caitlyn forward, a hand in the small of her back, indicating her to order her share of ice cream first. They had been kind of touchy-feely and flirty the whole way here, both laughing at each other's jokes and sharing eye-contact longer than necessary. It was a first for Jiyong as well, to be going on a double date. Usually, he wasn't the love-dovey type, but a change once in a while didn't hurt. And until now it wasn't that bad.

"A man with deep pockets, who doesn't like that," the blond-haired male commented with a smirk, glancing over his shoulder towards the other before ordering a large strawberry sorbet with a cookie and some chocolate sprinkles. Maybe it was taking advantage, maybe it was just teasing, there was only one person who knew. And that person kept staring directly into Joe's eyes until the latter would break the contact first, feeling a soft (attention-seeking) hit on his arm from the female, but ignored it. Once the taller male turned away to pay, Jiyong quirked his head back towards Caitlyn, humming a small "hm?".

"I asked, 'are you that hungry?'" She still chuckled, lightly elbowing the male in the side. "Nah, not really," Jiyong answered, propping his fingers in his pockets as he took a step to the side and lean his behind on one of the tables, "just craving a dessert." He said, grin still plastered on his lips as he talked and waited for his ice cream to arrive.

@Kwon Jiyong () I have to force myself to write and my writing isn't that good btw otl

Doubles dates weren't Joe's cup of tea as according to him, it's a 'teenager' thing. The young woman whom he met at a club the other night had glimmered of hopes in her blue eyes when she asked the older male to go on a double date.

"Uhh."

Joe wasn't one to upset people. The woman was starting to fiddle with the hem of her black leather jacket, anxious that she would be turned down. But that wasn't the case otherwise she would have been embarassed since she had four other female friends with her.

"Sure."

One of her friend followed suit while the other two stayed behind. The woman went by the name of Jenna. Unlike her friend, her outfit was non - revealing. Dark blue crop top covering her entire busty chest but her flat stomach and sleeveless arms tucked warmly inside a black leather jacket. The brown ombre wavy short hair suited her well that Joe spoke out his compliment.

A mini black limousine pulled up. The girls were excited, probably it was their first time on a limousine. They told the driver to go to a convenience store to pick up the other's date. Once arrived, they waited outside while she strolled inside. It took quite some time that Joe assumed the female had never spoken to her date before. Otherwise she wouldn't be walking about the isles idly. Jenna was groaning out of frustration from watching her friend. "Finally." She murmured when her friend exited with a huge smile.

Joe had never felt so awkward before. Nonetheless he shook the male's hand and introduced himself, putting on a relaxed demeanor so he would enjoy his first double date. An ice-cream shop was their next stop. It was cute in Joe's opinion. He ordered a watermelon sorbet and a chocolate mint for Jenna, both in a medium cup.

"My treat. What are you guys having?" He turned towards the couple while retriving his wallet from the front pocket of his blue chinos.

@Byun Baekhyun Ten watched as the other in his own visible funk, got out the money with such dramatic flare, Ten couldn't help but crack a chuckle, taking the case and opening it all the way for himself. No big deal. But it did confirm one thing that boosted Ten's pride; the other was just as weak as before. Ten looked over the stacks of cash, running his hands over it and checking over the bills to make sure they were real. Ten didn't want to take long though, as he felt a cold couple tears slip down his face in the dark, as his nose threatened to run. Mmm, must be the invisible winter breeze in early fall causing his eyes to non-stop water fall. That was obnoxious. "They're clear" Ten closed the case, locking it up himself as he took another long inhale of his weed, his body trembling from the rush. Or something else, as Ten normally wasn't the tremble reactant to drugs. "367920" Ten recited the ship number as he stood himself up, not even giving a nod or any form of respect as he his heels and headed toward his motorbike which was parked a block from the pier. He needed to get up and out of here. With his leather sleeve he wiped the waterfall of tears away, trying to make nothing of it. He needed alcohol, or more drugs, anything to make the pain stop.

@Ten So that's how Ten was going to be. Fine. Two could play at this game. Baekhyun's eyes rolled in his annoyance, hefting up the metal briefcase up onto a nearby oil drum, slamming it down with unnecessary force. Of ALL people who came to meet him at the pier instead of Jinwoo, it was /Ten/. As Baekhyun took his sweet time unlocking the briefcase, he couldn't help but think of how much he would love to just swing the case into Ten and knock him off the pier. All the fury and feelings of betrayal Baekhyun had locked away resurfaced as if they'd always been there, just lurking under the surface. Avoiding looking directly at Ten's face, Baekhyun cracked open the case, pushing it towards Ten without opening the lid fully for him, because Ten was NOT royalty and Baekhyun just wanted to /leave/ now. "'s the deposit," Baekhyun grunted, figuring Ten wouldn't know about what he was doing here. "Tell Jinwoo I'll meet him here again tomorrow night if the goods are clear." 'Don't say anything else,' Baekhyun urged himself silently. 'Don't go psycho on the guy, you'll just make a fool out of yourself-'

@Byun Baekhyun Ten had to take a night job for Jinwoo, not that Ten slept regular hours anyway, but it was one extra drug shipment he had to sort, act tough and be prepared to shoot on sight if the deal goes down hill. Ten hung in a leather jacket and skinny jeans against the railing of the peir, smoking some in order to be awake and vigilant. 3am was upon him in no time. He didn’t care to look up from his place until he heard a distinctive voice ask who he was. Lazily he pulled his head up, and his eyes flickered in shock, but the rest of his body remained calm due to the drugs. “Show that cash and I’ll give you the ship number” it was Byun ing Baekhyun. Did the world just enjoy ing Ten over?! He was suddenly so pissed off, and he let out a snort, unable to keep it inside as he took another hit, but he didn’t verbalize his anger, hurt, tears and pain from seeing this er’s face in this town. That was sort of Ten’s thing. Stuff and internalize. He took a deeper hit, breathing in the plant aggressively as he felt his chest threatening to break in half from the emotional pain.

@Ten Baekhyun's a busy guy, mainly because he's been doing just about every single job he comes across on top of what his younger brother assigned him. He reasoned to himself that it was part of the /hustle/, and the hustle meant shamelessly taking leads and jobs from the other triads and whatnot in the area. And /that/ meant that Baekhyun had to be extra careful to be more inconspicuous and try to be more secretive to not run into the peoples' jobs he was stealing. So here he was at nearly three in the morning, approaching the dark pier at the edge of the city. There was a shipment he was supposed to be checking and collecting the order, and there was /supposed/ to only be Jinwoo there to meet with him, but as Baekhyun approached the dock, he noticed the silhouette of the man there was slimmer, shorter than Jinwoo. He squinted, but his steps didn't slow. That was a mistake on Baekhyun's part. It wasn't until he was face to face with the other man at the piers he was shocked to a standstill. "I- What are you doing here?" was the first thing he blurted out, his hand twitching as he resisted the urge to pull out the gun he'd tucked haphazardly in his back pocket (in Baekhyun's gun safety defence, it was usually kept in the glove box of his car).

@Joe Manganiello It didn't happen a lot, but every so often there was a day that Jiyong didn't drink - or didn't drink as much as usual. This was one of those days.


It was still early in the night, close to 9 PM and Jiyong lazily turned circles on his chair, pushing himself around with the tips of his shoes as he barely reached the ground with his toes. He sat slouched, arms crossed over his chest while blowing a few small bubbles with his bubblegum behind the cash register. It was nearly the end of his shift and Jiyong was waiting for a hesitant female to just freaking find what in heavens name she was searching for. He wanted her to exit the small convenience store so he could go grab a much-desired chocolate bar. She'd been walking around the aisles for a few minutes already, seeming like she had no idea what she came looking for.

When Jiyong finally heard a pair of footsteps approach the registry he stopped himself from rotating and stood up, leaning the palms of his hands on the counter to await the female's arrival. He put his weight on one foot, upper body slightly bend forward as he watched the young lady drop a cola-flavored lollipop on the surface in front of him. A lollipop. A goddamn lollipop. Jiyong stared at the candy for a few bitter seconds, wondering why it had taken her so long to get one of these, before looking the female straight in the eyes. Was she serious? Jiyong wanted to laugh, but before he got that chance, the girl spoke up and it finally all made sense to him.

"You're off at 9, right?" She asked, her arms crossed, pushing up her almost non-existent bust to form some cleavage behind her low cut black crop-top. She tilted her head to the side, her long, dark wavy hair dropping over her shoulder as she looked at the male with a gaze that spoke of utopia. One of Jiyong's eyebrows quirked upwards and he straightened his posture, picking up the lollipop along the way. He spat his tasteless bubblegum to the side, aiming for the garbage can right next to his feet, while he tore open the plastic of his new candy. Once unwrapped he popped the sweet into his mouth, all the while keeping eye contact with the female in front of him.

"Where to?" Jiyong rolled his tongue around the popsicle, moving the ball from one side to the other as he watched the female's lips contort into a smirk. "We were thinking of getting some ice cream."

"We?"

"You'll see. I'll wait outside." And the girl left, swinging her hair to the side once her back was turned and shamelessly swaying her hips as she exited the convenience store. Jiyong watched her walk away, a tiny grin hiding behind a straight face as he threw the plastic lid into the trash can. It barely took a few minutes for his co-worker to arrive and without bothering to pay for the piece of candy, Jiyong took his sweater and left the store with a simple wave of his hand. Once outside the thirty-one-year-old male quickly spotted the female again; her long dark brown hair being quite a sight. She wasn't alone; there was another female with her and also a quite tall male. As he approached the three - supposedly - friends, Jiyong threw an arm over the previous female's shoulders. "Y'all ready for a brain freeze?" he spoke, not caring that he was interrupting the conversation that was going on between them. "Jiyong," he then simply stated, the female beside him smiling softly as she shyly turned her face to the ground. The smaller male reached out to the back of the second female's neck, gently pulling her closer to greet her with a kiss on the cheek before he held his hand out towards the male in front of him.
