✈ Getaway

@Kwon Jiyong Yeah, I was out of a job for a while... /I frown/ I am not going to tell you how much! It's my problem to solve.
/I poke you when you deflate/ what is it? Should I make something up?
/I make a face at your example/ yeah, I've seen some of those too... and I do not think it counts. /I snort/
well I don't know... I guess it'd be great to get laid, be sweet together and have long deep talks, but I can't just make it happen? As long as it's someone I really like, then I will adapt to whatever they can offer me... /I bite on my lower lip/ I'm just saying I'm not interested in what the others here have... and in a lot of the people here... I want someone special.
/I squint/ well that's great, I'm glad you prefer me to the wall...
let's just go play then...

@Woo Jiho You have debts? How much?
*I'm already calculating in my head how much money I have left, I made sure I had enough to keep me afloat for life. Stealing some from the gang before I took off so I still have a lot, maybe I could help?*
Oh... that's fair... I suppose.
*Sometimes I feel like you're the pin to my balloon and I visibly deflate*
Uh... Some unsettling ones about their private life, yeah. But it still counts. *points my index finger at you*
Is that what you want or what you think you deserve? Love isn't about making "do" if you're just floating through it wanting the bare minimum then... people will treat you like that and you should... you should have more for yourself. You deserve more than that.
*I nod with a hum* Who else am I going to play with? There's no one else here, unless I play with the wall...

@Kwon Jiyong /my eyebrow curls in surprise at your outburst/ the police doesn't work like that... and anyway, it's done now... I'll have to find something else I want to do... but that's not for now, I have debts to pay.
If I were in a long term relationship, then maybe I'd be able to give you some advice, but you were the one and only I had anything with... my new pair hasn't even shown his face yet, so no, I wouldn't think I have anything to hide or any strategy I can recommend...
/tilts my chin a bit/ did you ever see the couple here have any conversation?
/I roll my eyes/ I want both, of course. But I can do with less and less cuteness if I have more conversation... that's all.
A dice game? I remember Jamm mentioning it... /I take the bottle from you when you offer it and get a few sips, I better, if it's anything like the game we played last time/ are you ok to play with me? At that?

@Woo Jiho Not a big deal? You should have your own office by now not be stuck behind a cash register.
*I huff in frustration, they really did kick you to the curb*
Hmm, so you can give advice in everything else except that... I'd think you were keeping something from me.
*I poke the button of your nose with a teasing look in my eyes*
*Your serious face is so funny I can't help but giggle but I hide my mouth behind my hand* Some of the best conversations happen the morning after. You can have both, did you ever think of that?
*I think out loud with an exaggerated hum* Oh I don't know... There are some game rooms set up? A dice game or something?
Hmm~ The wine always tests better this way, try it? *I wiggle the bottle out at you*

@Kwon Jiyong /of course you would ask that, I think as I shrug in reply to your question/
yeah... sometimes... but my shifts are short, it's not a big deal...
/I finish my glass of wine and place it back on the table/
well thanks /I snort/ I told you I'm not good at that ...
/I look back at you, dead serious/ I'm just saying it's not the most important thing for me... I like to have conversations... /there's the shadow of a blush on my cheeks/ but yes, I do have needs too, I'm human...
/I turn my head towards you/ a game? Like what?
Ah ok, I guess now we're foregoing the glasses uh? /I wonder what's making you so sad today, is it because of what's happening with Jaehyo? Yet I have no courage to ask/

@Woo Jiho But... don't you find it boring?
*scrunches up my nose at the thought of your intelligent brain stuck behind a counter*
You're right, your advice is lame.
*I huff and sit forward, resting my chin on an upturned palm*
*looks at you deadpan* You're telling me that you don't want to or be cute? You are full of it sometimes. You have needs to you know?
*I stay there and close my eyes for a minute, just for a moment the world stops spinning*
Do you want to play a game or something? I don't want to think about it.
*I scoop up the bottle and bring the neck to my lips, taking a sip straight out of it*

@Kwon Jiyong /nods/ it's nice to do something I don't really have to worry about... /scratches my cheek/ it's not my dream job, but it's good enough for now...
/I wiggle a little when you poke my chest again/
Asking me what? How to find something that lasts? I imagine you just need to find the right person...
/I wave my hand/ I mean what other people have here... it's not for me... all they do is and be cute... it's not the kind of life I can see myself leading... but that doesn't mean I don't want a boyfriend...
/I turn my head when you lean your head against my shoulder, I can smell your hair and I wonder what shampoo you use/
I am not miserable, Ji...
I have a job, a roof over my head, some new friends... most of the time, I'm not lonely...
/I squeeze you closer/
I'm sorry you feel that way though...

@Woo Jiho Woo Jiho
I'm not cooking anything, I'm just selling the pasties... the worst that can happen is that I give out the wrong change, but most people pay by card nowadays...
how is this cocky? I didn't say I was good- /I poke your blush, just to gasp when you hit my chest/
well man, I'm not the best one for advising you on that...
/i can feel your stare and I turn to look at you/
that's in the past already. A lapse of judgement caused by the excitement of the place.
As you noticed yourself, it's easy to wish for something happy here...
but then you also realise it's not for you

Oh... Do you like doing it?
*I laugh at that reaction and give your chest another poke just for good measure*
I don't care, I'm asking you.
*I keep staring even when you look my way but I reach behind you to rub your back*
Why isn't it for you? Maybe you're not looking in the right places either...
*I lean my head against your shoulder*
But for now we can be miserable together at least...

@Kwon Jiyong *follows you into a bedroom* Good idea. Blankets will be comfortable while we hide too. *helps bring my luggage along*

@Ahn Jaehyo *tugs Jaehyo towards one of the bedrooms* We can hide under the blankets so the ghost doesn't find us. *tugs both of our suitcases along with us to use as protection*
