⫯ park

@❀ cha beomyoung ⁱⁿᶠˡᵘᵉⁿᶜᵉʳ Izzy wasn't sure why she loved to instigate so much when it came to Beomyoung, but there was just something about him that made it so entertaining. Maybe she enjoyed how easy it was that she seemed to get under his skin, maybe it was the way his reactions sent her heart racing, though she would say it was simply due to the rush of going back and forth with someone who could keep up with her. Either way, there was a little pep in her walk as she made her way to the park, the designated meeting place. Was she really planning on fighting him? Of course not, but he didn't need to know that, nor was she going to back down from a challenge. When she finally caught sight of him, she slowed her pace, refusing to seem too eager to be around him. Ever since he had stopped being a trainee, they hadn't had much excuse to be around each other. She'd never admit it, but she liked hanging out with the doofus, even if she annoyed the out of him. Finally reaching him, she quirked a single brow before grinning and tip-toeing behind him when she noticed he wasn't looking. Instinctively, she held her breath as if that would somehow make her quieter, and then suddenly latched on to him from behind as she yelled. "Boo!"

A small sigh escaped Jayden's lips as he walked along a trail in the park. He hoped his mask and hat would be decent enough to keep anyone from noticing him, but the time was dark in any case. With a small bag in his hands, he stared at it with his eyes watering just slightly while thoughts began to flood his mind. Of course, he'd known for a long time that these feelings that he'd begun to feel were hopeless. But it'd be difficult for anyone to simply force away, would it not. He sighed once more, thinking things over. Perhaps going out of his way to get valentines chocolate for someone who wouldn't feel the same way was idiotic. And maybe, he wondered, he should just throw it away and not bother giving it to this person.

Even so, he couldn't bring himself to discard the little bag. He'd put so much work into making sure the note he wrote was perfect, which resulted in many crumbled pieces of paper filling the trash can at his dorm. It would be shame for it not to get to the person it had been intended for. At the same time, though, he couldn't help but wonder if keeping these feelings to himself could somehow save him any amount of torment. He knew he would be rejected if he handed it off, no matter how much he wanted to believe he wouldn't be. But the part that seemed to scare him more was a fear that it would ruin his friendship with the other. What if, he wondered, he gave Kion the valentines chocolate along with the note and was never spoken to again. That would be an even worse fate than a simple rejection, or even pining after someone who was simply unavailable.

He tilted his chin up, holding back the tears which threatened to fall for a few moments before sitting down on a bench he'd made it to and releasing yet another sigh. He really was hopeless, he thought to himself. His grip on the small bag tightened slightly as he lifted it to his chest and closed his eyes. It hurt, he thought. His chest was tight, a similar feeling to if needles were poking into the inside of it. This feeling was one he'd had to imagine back when he was acting with his family at home. But this was probably the first time he'd actually felt it for himself in such a genuine and authentic way. He was tired of acting. The more he saw the other's face, the less he could keep up his facade. The less he could act like he saw the other just as a friend, or that there was nothing more. And at the same time, he was too much of a coward to actually say something.

@♦ maekawa mizuki 「ᴍᴊ」ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ /tries not to smile too wide at your words, nodding slowly so she wouldnt look too excited at that/
Of course. I will help you cooking too!
I think I'm a better chef now compared to before hehe so rest assured, I can help you well around the kitchen. Hehehe

@❀ ohara honoka 「ᴋɪᴍ ᴄʜᴀᴇᴡᴏɴ」ˢᵒˡᵒⁱˢᵗ /feels the warmth of your nose on my cheek, scrunching up my nose at the touch before turning towards you, reaching out to gently hold your waist, face still flushed at how direct you were/
of course i don't mind doing that....
but for now, i gotta go cook and let my baby have a full tummy~ then we can do whatever you want.... and i mean, whatever...

@♦ chalita adulyadej 「ɪᴢᴢʏ」ⁱⁿᶠˡᵘᵉⁿᶜᵉʳ [] figured we could continue, if not just ignore lmaoooo also lets pretend the whole text convo took place this time of the year

cold, nippy air convinced beom that he needed to exert energy into stretching his legs as he stood up from a hardwood seat. he did that thing most do when cold, packing your hands into the pockets of a jacket and hugging his arms as close to his body as possible. after all, it approaching that time of the year when seoul, amongst the whole country, was entering that frosty time of the year. he exhaled, seeing his breath before his eyes as he sat back down on the bench waiting for that blondie.

@♦ maekawa mizuki 「ᴍᴊ」ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ /bites back a grin when she notices your red cheeks, walking beside you to the roadside then nuzzles her nose against your cheek/
mmh it is winter and can be a bit freezing
but I have you to warm me up, no~?
you don't mind doing that for me, do you?

@❀ ohara honoka 「ᴋɪᴍ ᴄʜᴀᴇᴡᴏɴ」ˢᵒˡᵒⁱˢᵗ w-what do you mean no clothes....
/the imagination coupled with your arm wrapped around me hit me like a truck, face immediately flushing red before I walk a little bit quicker, letting the cold air dull my senses/
it's a big deal... idiot...
/quickly taps on my phone to call a cab, waiting for it to arrive by the roadside/
it's winter, you'll freeze....

@♦ maekawa mizuki 「ᴍᴊ」ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ I promise. That'll be the last time I ever pull something like that.
/can't help but to pout when you pushed her away but say nothing and just wait until you complete the purchase, taking the drinks with her and almost immediately wrapping her free hand around your waist again/
that or I can just use no clothes, no big deal.

@❀ ohara honoka 「ᴋɪᴍ ᴄʜᴀᴇᴡᴏɴ」ˢᵒˡᵒⁱˢᵗ /grins when I feel an arm wrapped around me, turning around to lightly prod you on your nose, sighing softly/
Don't do that again..... promise? Now, I really have to pay for the food and drinks, you're going to have me hold up the line, Chae...
/shakes my head in amusement before pushing your hands off me, paying for the stuff at the cashier before holding up two big bags of ingredients, gesturing for you to get the drinks/
Let's go grab a cab then back to my place~ you can change into my clothes, no big deal.

@♦ maekawa mizuki 「ᴍᴊ」ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ n-no, I'm not... I know self-control please-
/face turns red at the accusation, which quite right but no way she would admit that out loud, but frowns when you walk away, quickly chase after you and wrap her arm around your waist/
No... it was after I met you. Few days after we met again at the recording studio...
I'm sorry I haven't updated you with everything since then...

@❀ ohara honoka 「ᴋɪᴍ ᴄʜᴀᴇᴡᴏɴ」ˢᵒˡᵒⁱˢᵗ me, taking advantage? wow, but you're the hornier one....
/says it nonchalantly, chuckling a little before placing a whole carton of 6 into the basket/
brand ambassador huh... looks like somebody was busy when she came back... and she didn't even find me first....
I'm so disappointed, Ohara Honoka.
/huffs a little teasingly before turning away, getting the final ingredients before making my way to pay for the items/

@♦ maekawa mizuki 「ᴍᴊ」ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ now I'm worried that you might take an advantage of drunken me
/playfully crosses her arms in front of her chest while gasping at you, look at the can and laugh/
yeah, lets get that too
it taste good, and no i'm not saying that just because i'm the brand ambassador hahaha

@❀ ohara honoka 「ᴋɪᴍ ᴄʜᴀᴇᴡᴏɴ」ˢᵒˡᵒⁱˢᵗ Mmmh I think I have a vague memory.... but I only remember the happy times... maybe if you get drunk tonight, I'll remember everything~
/teases you lightly, nodding as I head to get whatever ingredients for the dishes that you wanted/
Wow, somebody wants a feast huh... as for the drinks... this looks kind of interesting?
/picks up a can of jin-beam, shaking it to your face/

@♦ maekawa mizuki 「ᴍᴊ」ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ did you forget? you did tho
when we were in the previous company, you even carried me home
/chuckles as she taps your nose playfully
who said your cooking isn't the best? its pretty delicious. Kimchi fried rice, sunny-side egg, and maybe kimchi jjigae just in case the bad hangover tomorrow

@❀ ohara honoka 「ᴋɪᴍ ᴄʜᴀᴇᴡᴏɴ」ˢᵒˡᵒⁱˢᵗ And you trust me to deal with your drunken state? Though to be fair, I've never seen you drunk before...
/squints at you before reaching up to lightly pat your head, nodding a little/
Sure~ get whatever you need, okay? I'll try to whip up whatever you want today, though my cooking isn't exactly the best.

@♦ maekawa mizuki 「ᴍᴊ」ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ I haven't had alcoholic drinks for like...ten months? maybe because I don't trust anyone else to deal with my drunken state. And it would be bad if I did something I would regret in the morning.
/stares at you for few moments then shakes her head while shrugging/
I'll go with you first. We can get the drinks later before we go to pay.
don't want to let you out of my sight too soon.

@❀ ohara honoka 「ᴋɪᴍ ᴄʜᴀᴇᴡᴏɴ」ˢᵒˡᵒⁱˢᵗ that is because you are silly~ but very very adorable.
/chuckles softly as I pinch your puffed up cheeks, looking around the drinks selection as well/
Wow~ wanting to get drunk already? But sure, I'll be there to take care of you, anyway. How many bottles~ go ahead and get it, I'll get the other stuff for the kimchi fried rice in the meantime. Maybe some meat as well.

@♦ maekawa mizuki 「ᴍᴊ」ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ you seem to love calling me silly
/puffs her cheeks lightly as they walk into the supermarket, looking at the drink selection once they're inside/
hmm tea?
but no. Hmm... why don't we get some soju and beer?
it's fine if I get drunk in your place right~? hehe

@❀ ohara honoka 「ᴋɪᴍ ᴄʜᴀᴇᴡᴏɴ」ˢᵒˡᵒⁱˢᵗ you, fierce? jokes on you, i never once thought you were fierce, Ms. Kim.
/stops and stares at your attempt of looking mean but eventually laughs when you break out into your own giggle as well/
please~ you flatter me, silly.
/reaches out to lightly pat your head, already turning out of the park and walking straight into a nearby supermarket/
any drinks for you?

@♦ wang ziyi 「ᴇ.ᴢ.」ᵇᵒᵈʸᵍᵘᵃʳᵈ it was amusing how taeyoung didn't even need to see her reaction to understand how she felt. with his arm around her and ziyi's arm finding its place around his waist, there was no way he could ignore the flutters in his heart. the sentiment he harbored towards her had drastically changed in the last couple of weeks, thanks to various heart-to-heart conversations. as far as he knew, these conversations marked the first time he was genuinely honest about everything. although he didn't get a chance to express one particular thought, he felt that it wasn't necessary for the moment. however, that conversation was reserved for a later time. for now, he was simply enjoying her presence and nothing else.

"on your side, always. but you know, a little mischief keeps things interesting," her playful accusation about him setting her up drew a chuckle from him as he replied. moments later, the pair was nearly trampled into a pile of rubber and metal as kids narrowly missed them with their bikes. it was an annoyance, for sure, but that did not catch his attention. taeyoung, for once caught off guard, snapped his head in her direction. his expression was a mixture of happiness, bewilderment, and everything in between. fortunately, he quickly recovered and smoothed himself, deciding to savor the moment rather than discuss it at that moment.

"right. ice cream! let's hurry before something else runs into us," he replied rather hastily as they quickened their pace. yet, his hand never left her side, remaining firmer and closer to her than ever before.

@♦ maekawa mizuki 「ᴍᴊ」ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ You're just being biased Ms. Kim. I'm not even cute. I am fierce
/tries to look as mean as possible but ended up laughing at her own silliness/
Oh right, sorry.
Your beauty makes me forget things easily because its just too mesmerizing

@❀ ohara honoka 「ᴋɪᴍ ᴄʜᴀᴇᴡᴏɴ」ˢᵒˡᵒⁱˢᵗ that better be the case....
/squints at you before letting out a yelp when you bite my finger, only to chuckle and shake my head/
feels like you've gotten even cuter when you're away...
and wasn't somebody wanting my kimchi fried rice~ let's go get groceries and i'll make it for you back at home!

@♦ maekawa mizuki 「ᴍᴊ」ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ And surrounded by their smelly stinky sweat? No thanks. I'd rather have one Maekawa Mizuki who is still smell so good even when she's sweating
/lightly bites your finger and grin playfully, releasing it after a few second later/
So where should we go now? Are you hungry?

@❀ ohara honoka 「ᴋɪᴍ ᴄʜᴀᴇᴡᴏɴ」ˢᵒˡᵒⁱˢᵗ what about a thousand boyfriends then?
/looks back at you, still with a mischevious smirk before finally bursting into a giggle, lightly tapping the pout on your lips with my finger/
just kidding, just kidding~

@♦ maekawa mizuki 「ᴍᴊ」ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ I know, I know. I'm sorry it's my fault
I guess I was still so used to handling things alone, even when I had you with me.
/panicked when you walk away and quickly chases after you, grabbing your hand to stop you from walking away with a pout on her lips/
Not even a hundred boyfriends can replace you, Min.
you are the only one I need

@❀ ohara honoka 「ᴋɪᴍ ᴄʜᴀᴇᴡᴏɴ」ˢᵒˡᵒⁱˢᵗ and this is why you should have told me everything, idiot.... i could have been there for you, you know? am i not your girlfriend, am i not someone to rely on? you're always like this, wanting to act tough and be strong and take everything on your own.... stupid...
/squints at you before prodding your forehead with my finger/
yep, a boyfriend, though I don't know how true it is. oh, you can have a boyfriend too huh? you want a boyfriend? go ahead, leave me and get one for your own, hmph.
/lets go of your hand and starts walking ahead, huffing but with a teasing grin on my face/

@♦ maekawa mizuki 「ᴍᴊ」ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ hmm i guess you can say that. it wasn't easy but yeah
/looks at you while still pouting though the sound of your giggle made the corner of her lips curled up
oh? a boyfriend huh?
and what do you mean by that? I can have a boyfriend too if I want to please.

@❀ ohara honoka 「ᴋɪᴍ ᴄʜᴀᴇᴡᴏɴ」ᵃᶜᵗᵒʳ Oh I see.... that's good then. But you must have been really lonely there alone.
/looks back at you when you stop walking, a giggle bursting out of my lips at your accusation/
Are you crazy? As much as I miss you, I was hurt, okay? I just really wanted to find you so I just stopped and asked if she was you. Besides, she has a boyfriend too. A total opposite of you, for sure.

@♦ maekawa mizuki 「ᴍᴊ」ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ She only knows about me coming there when the news of my mother's passing was broadcasted. And after that, I didn't see her much until when its time for me to go back here.
/frowns at your words as she stops walking, pouting slightly/
You did? You're not....immediately kiss her, were you...?

@❀ ohara honoka 「ᴋɪᴍ ᴄʜᴀᴇᴡᴏɴ」ᵃᶜᵗᵒʳ You sure you weren't flirting back in Japan? Not with your so called precious Hiichan? And yeah, you'll be kicked out. You're so going to be kicked by me, hard, dummy.
/rolls my eyes at your words, though of course my heart feels warm with your confessions, as if the hurt wasn't even there in the first place/
Me too... if I didn't love you, I wouldn't have spent every waking hour searching for you in my free time... funny how I came across another person looking exactly like you, with the same name as you too. Thought heaven was playing tricks on me.
