▫ storage

@☩ baek minseok It was the sound of rifling which caused Hyunwoo to stop in his tracks. Initially he had believed he was the only soul in this room, and for a moment he wondered if it was who he had been looking for. He turned at a pivot to look at the space behind him, taking a few steps further into the room before out of the corner of his eye, a foot caught his attention. He was silent as he moved around towards the back of this stranger, watching him for a long moment before he had ceased his motion. Hearing him sigh, he cocked his head and wondered what on earth this human was doing in such a conspicuous spot, so near curfew, with seemingly no business there. Not that Hyunwoo had any more entitlement to be there either.
"What are you doing?" He asked suddenly, voice cutting through the silence and exposing his presence to the boy beneath him.

@☩ lee hyunwoo Minseok was looking through everything inside the storage closet, in which he had no business in. He was calming himself down from his fear getting ahead of him. He was looking through box after box, stack after stack, etcetera. He had completely lost track of the amount of time that was passing by a the longer he spent in there he sighed in content as he finished looking through a box, enjoying the wonderful silence that surrounded him in the storage closet. He was in his own bubble, dead to the world perhaps. Wether or not he didn't think about anything of anyone at that in the peaceful but packed storage closet.

@☩ baek minseok Hyunwoo had found himself absently in search for his short time groundskeeper companion as he did most days. It had been increasingly difficult to find the vampire amongst the ever growing population of the farm. His only inclination was to search through the various locations he knew the vampire frequented. He came up short at the pool, the janitors closet showing no signs of previous disturbance. His only remaining location was the storage room, the nosy human sauntering in as though he had the entitlement to the space. He peaked through every shelving unit jam packed with miscellaneous equipment, contraband and back up utilites to no avail. He signed in disappointment, accepting the absence and readying to leave for his dorm. It was currently nearing curfew and Hyunwoo knew that despite his adversity to the strict guidelines he was required to follow, curfew was not one he could disregard.

@† chittaphon leechaiyakul Seonghwa slowly descended from the ladder as the other vampire explained why he was in the storage room. "Ah let me grab the clay for you then," he nodded. He headed further into the storage room to where a shipment of the clay was sitting. "I'm doing alright. Just the usual really. How have you been?" he asked curiously. The pair only occasionally crossed paths, but when they did, it was always pleasant.

He brought over two slabs of the clay, each wrapped in the usual plastic that it came in. "How many more do you think you'll need?" he asked, gesturing to them. He couldn't say he was much of a sculptor. He always appreciated the arts, but clay was always a tad bit too messy for his liking. He moved onto finding the box of tools, selecting only the ones in good condition. He decided that he would need to look through the tools soon, to make sure they were all clean and not broken.

@† park seonghwa The Head of Human Relations had grossly miscalculated how many would be in attendance of his sculpting class that morning, dried clay coating his hands and even on top of his left cheekbone while his button-up shirt sleeves were rolled up to just below his elbow. Humans and vampires alike were in attendance, so he left one of the recreational planners in charge of delegating tasks while he sought out the storage room to gather more materials.

Ten hummed softly to himself as he used his cart to prop open the door, jolting a bit at the greeting before he offers the other vampire a warm smile. "Ah! Seonghwa, hello! Nothing too extreme today, just need some more sculpting tools and clay to bring back to the classroom," he laughed, eyes creasing with the motion as he moved around to see if they had enough of what he needed, checklist in hand, "How are you doing today?"

Going through shelf by shelf, Jennie made sure lol materials were put in proper place; lifting around boxes as her eyes adjusted to the poor lights rather quickly. She made mental notes on inventory to report to a recreational supervisor. Not because she had to but because there wasn’t much else to do at the moment that was helpful. She ran her fingers through her hair, puffing her cheeks as she had to reach on her tip toes for the next shelf. “Nugh!” She grunted as she clawed the box centimeter by centimeter closer toward her. “Come on God, come on,” she muttered to herself as the box got off the shelf bit by bit .

@† chittaphon leechaiyakul Cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. Some people hated the chore, but Seonghwa was never one to shy away from it. It was soothing and satisfying to see all of the dirt and mess disappear bit by bit and reveal a cleaner and clearer version. Whether it was a room, the pool or somewhere else, Seonghwa enjoyed cleaning just about anything - and that included organising and taking stock of things in the storage room.

He was making sure that there enough supplies for different recreational activities that the humans enjoyed partaking in, as well as the tools and equipment for fixing up any of the provided furnishings of the facility. There were other little things too, like chargers, extra clothes and blankets. There were influxes of humans in the facility so Seonghwa always liked to be prepared.

Just as he finished sorting and organising the top most shelf, he heard the door open and turned to look from the top of the ladder he was standing up on. "Oh, hello Ten," he greeted the fellow vampire. "What might you be looking for?" he asked.

@☨ kim minjeong The place was poorly lit. So Jisoo didn't even brave enough to take a breath before knowing for sure who the person who walked toward her was. When she finally heard a familiar voice, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She followed the red-eyed vampire to the room which was the place they met at noon. it was even darker than outside. She could feel the hairs on her neck stand on end. "I'm ready." Her answer was like a hesitant whisper. Well, she wasn't ready and will never be ready, probably. She didn't know the consequence she had to face if the guard outside catch her. But on the other hand, she missed her sister very much.

Hopefully, the reckless action she took was worth it.

"Can we go now?" She asked nervously.

@☩ kim jisoo When the vampire heard the human's voice, then she appeared from the platform. "I'm here." She greeted her with red glowing orbs before looking around and dragged her inside the storage room, "Are you ready? I disabled the traps in the west side of the farm, it'll only take six hours before it turns back again." She whispered to her before looking through the window sill of the door to check if they are still lurking through premises.

@☨ kim minjeong Jisoo almost rejects the idea. She almost let herself sleep instead of meeting Winter where they had met before. But she couldn't even close her eyes for the moments she spent in bed. Her mind was too occupied by Jisun. She misses her sister, and she really wants to see her.

After contemplating for hours, the female finally made her way to the storage room. Just when she was about to enter the room, she saw a familiar figure from behind. "Winter?" She whispered, making sure it was the person she was supposed to meet instead of the other vampire.

@☩ kim jisoo () so sorry i took too long to reply ;n;

as the night falls, many vampires would much likely to roam around the facility but when minjeong rests in her bed, winter awakes with glowing crimson orbs and starts to dress herself before making her way to the storage to meet up with jisoo before looking around, not making suspicious movements as she made her way to the storage room. waiting for the other to go inside as well.

@☨ kim minjeong Jisoo blinked several times. She contemplated should she just go with the plan or not. Of course, she missed her sister so much, but... Would it be worth it to take the risk? And it wasn't that she didn't trust Winter. She was just... too afraid. The times she spent alone outside were scary and left a deep trauma.

Seconds after Winter left, Jisoo finally walked outside the storage room too. At least she still had some time to think.

@☩ kim jisoo "just... meet me in this very same place tonight. i'll wait for you." winter told her and starts going out of the storage. when she closed the storage door, that's when her red hues became blue, indicating that minjeong already taken her body.

she blinked and looked around, confused a bit. "huh? that's weird..." minjeong muttered before holding her tummy, she's hungry and need to take a lunch. "i need to grab a lunch!" she looked at her wrist watch before running to the cafeteria.

@☨ kim minjeong She was silent for a while, too stunned to speak. Having been living alone out there and now living with much comfort inside the farm, definitely get rid of Jisoo's courage to get outside. "Out of the facility..." She swallowed her saliva. As the human was about to ask a question, Winter continued her words. Tonight, she said. So she finally would meet her sister again but had to take the risk of meeting evil vampires outside the area. Besides... a cave sounds scary.

"Winter, are you okay?" Jisoo asked worriedly when she looked at Winter. Well, she knew it happened every time the other persona will take her place but still, she worried her whenever that happened.

@☩ kim jisoo she shakes her head, "i meant 'out of the facility'. jisun wanted you to meet her in the forest, at the cave she knew." winter told her and sighs. looking at the human, she knows she hasn't been bonded by some filthy vampires yet. in secret, jisun asked winter to protect jisoo from her own kind and she agreed to be the one to protect her younger sister. "i'll be escorting you tonight--" then her head starts making a stinging pain before holding her head, minjeong might take over her body soon.

@☨ kim minjeong Jisoo leaned to the nearest shelf and read the letter. It wasn't long. Her sister just wrote about her condition and told Jisoo to not worry much. A simple note yet managed to warm her heart. At least she knew she still had someone related to her in this world. "Saving you from hunters?" Jisoo turned her head. Knowing her sister's nature, who is not afraid of anything, she should've not been surprised by the fact. "When will she come to the facility?"

@☩ kim jisoo winter smiles at her gratitude and gets a compliment from her, "not really, i'm just helping your sister in her exploits." she told her softly. "she never told you how we met by saving me from a bunch of hunters, no?" then chuckles before leaning against the wall, "however, she never add another words in that letter, she told me that you two should meet up out of the facility."

@☨ kim minjeong As she was going to grab her meal in the cafeteria, she saw a familiar figure. Jisoo was sure her guess wasn't wrong; looking at the red iris in her eyes, it must be Winter. She looked around before following her into a storage room. "Thank you so much!" She whispered as the other female handed her a letter. Well, probably a simple thanks weren't enough to express her gratitude. A wide smile appeared on her pretty face. "You are indeed an angel."

@☩ kim jisoo when its time for the worker's breaktime, minjeong's cerulean orbs changed into vermillion red indicating that it's winter's time to show up. she goes to her locker and gets a letter hidden inside her folded uniform before pocketing it inside her sleeves. she sees jisoo coming towards her, when they meet eye to eye. she moved her red orbs to the left, signaling the human to go to the storage room. when the vampire and human were inside, winter broke a smile and gives her a letter from jisoo's older sister, "another letter from jisun." she told her.
