@α┊choi seunghyun ᵀᵒᵖ The cliché of night and day didn't even begin to encapsulate the differences between Seunghyun and Taeyeob as the two finally came together at the entrance or the waterpark. The younger man beamed with content excitement, blonde hair brilliant under the sun and his body wrapped in the warm air just above the light t-shirt and shorts he had on his body. He didn't have days like this too often, most spent in a studio recording or filming or practicing-- or a number of other things that left him exhausted.
He stopped at the gate, confusion at his features as the older man was nowhere to be found yet he knew he was here. His eyes searched until they landed upon the suspicious figure by the corner. His eyes formed a look of further confusion, tracing the outfit the other man wore. He cleared his throat, "I-- Hyung? Seunghyun hyung--? Weren't we-- Are we-- Waterpark?"
@Ω┊ lee taeyeob ʸᵒᵒʲᵘⁿᵍ On the spur of the moment Seunghyun had asked to hang out at a waterpark. It had been forever since he went to one even though the man loved amusement and theme parks. The adrenaline from a good ride was like nothing he had felt before. Only, at the higher point of his career it was nearly impossible for the rapper to visit public places like this without a security guard. Now though, it was easier. Or at least he didn't have to take the security guard with him. Seunghyun waited by the entrance, grey hood pulled up over his head, sunglasses on, his hand tucked into the pocket of his jeans whilst he waited, his other hand holding a cigarette he took a few puffs from. He glanced around waiting for the other man.
@α┊кιм нαηвιη ᵇᶦ We can just order and go to your place
/I hum lightly as I walk with you making sure to follow where every go since I don't know where to go. at some point there are to many people around us and I reach out to lightly grip at the back of your shirt so I don't get lost in the crowd /
@Ω┊ нαη נιѕυηg -A warm grin forms when you nudge my arm and we begin walking out of the showers-
Sure, that actually sounds really good. Would you like to just order them and go to mine? Or would you prefer to eat in the restaurant?
-I question, wanting to make sure you would be comfortable with what we do. It would make sense to eat at mine so I could set up the game, but it would also make sense to just eat since we were pretty hungry to begin with, or at least I was-
@α┊кιм нαηвιη ᵇᶦ /snapping out of my thoughts when hearing your voice just to look over at you with a sweet smile forming on my lips/
Ah yeah..I tend to be quick.
/smiles softly as I over my lips and give your arm a gentle nudge as we start to walk. Letting out a faint hum at the question as I try to think of something/
Maybe burgers? It's easy to grab.
/tilts my head to look at you curiously/
Is that okay?
@Ω┊ нαη נιѕυηg -I pulled my clothes from the knapsack and shoved my swim trunks and somewhat wet body care items back into it, saving my clothes from getting any water on them. I remove the towel and toss it into the nearby bench before slipping into my clothing. A black pair of shorts, dark gray t-shirt and the same slides I wore to the pool. It was simple but comfortable-
-I venture out with my stuff and spot you waiting for me-
Jisung, ah, you beat me again.
-Laughs while motioning for us to begin our departure and get some food-
Is there anything you’re craving? Im not really good at deciding on where to eat, but if you aren’t either I’m sure I could come up with something.
@α┊кιм нαηвιη ᵇᶦ Ah- don't think that at all I'm just surprised that you actually want to spend so much time with me. It's sweet.
/I nod with a smile forming on my lips to show that it was perfectly fine and you didn't need to worry at all. I nod when you mention the one you'd go to before going my way and starting my routine. I had finished a few minutes before you and was now waiting right by the door while hugging my bag of things. I now wore a pair of shorts and an over sized long sleeve blue shirt that nearly covered my white shorts. Knee high shocks and white conversed on my feet as well as a beanie covering my still slightly wet hair. As I waited I couldn't help but wonder how you were enjoying our day. If you really liked your time with me or not. I always had some doubt in my mind especially when things were going along so well./
@Ω┊ нαη נιѕυηg -My dark orbs observe the way your head tilts before focusing on your eyes that happen to widen due to my question. An awkward laugh escaping as you hadn’t expected me to ask for even more of your time. I find myself feeling somewhat anxious about your answer, I was already requesting more of you. Almost as if the time we have spent together wasn’t sufficient enough. Anything to keep you from separating me for the time being-
Ah, I feel as though I’m being selfish and not taking into consideration that you may have other plans, or would like to recharge your social battery.
-Your beaming smile gives me a form of relief and I offer a warm grin in return-
Sounds good, I’ll probably use one of the ones down here…
-As you venture toward the cubicle you wanted I went in the direction of the free lockers, gathering my body wash along with my shampoo and conditioner. I head back to the shower area with those items and a towel in hand, entering a cubicle myself and beginning my shower routine-
-Twenty minutes goes by-
-I shut off the water and flick off whatever excess before snatching the towel and pat myself dry like before. Once I’m mostly dry, I wrap the towel around my waist and head out, my right hand holding the material in place so it won’t surprisingly fall off. My left arm juggling my shower belongings as I’m heading back toward the lockers to pack up, get dressed and meet you-
@α┊кιм нαηвιη ᵇᶦ /a small grin forms on my lips when you say that it's still a hard question and just watches you curiously as I get rid of my own towel just to head over to the locker with my clothing. /
Hm..that makes sense. I'd have to agree on that part.
It would be hard but it would also be fun learning together.
/hums lightly before I'm nodding with my bag in hand that it is your last question. Head tilting to the side to look at you ready for the question though once asked my eyes are widening a little that you'd still want to spend more time with me on top of going to eat. /
I- definitely wasn't what I was expecting...but sure. It would be fun~
/a bright smile forms on my lips before heading towards the showers though pointing to the one at the end/
I'm going to go down to the last one...
/words seem to drift off before I'm head down to the last stall so I can wash off./
@Ω┊ нαη נιѕυηg -Whilst we saunter towards the showers I’m debating back and forth with myself about who or what I would like to be stuck with-
While it’s a typical question I can admit that it’s kind of a hard one.
-Honestly speaks as I toss my used towel into a bin with the others-
I suppose I would like to be stuck with someone who could adapt to their surroundings well. Someone who would know what to do in such a situation. Though, I am sure I would have more fun with someone I’m close with. Learning how to adapt together and such. Having to only pick one thing is where it’s difficult. I would pick a tool of some sort but I’m sure I would go insane without another person beside me.
-I explain-
Okay, I believe this is my last question to you…
-I turn to fully face you and offer a soft, polite smile-
Would you care to come to my place to play some of that Mario kart I mentioned earlier?
@α┊кιм нαηвιη ᵇᶦ Is it? Oh creepy weird is bad...
/shivers a little since I've experienced a few incidents with people that are creepy weird before. Cheeks inflating as we head into the are to shower and change/
Okay...let's see.
Heh, a typical question since I've asked some serious ones. If you were stuck on a desert island who or what would you want to be stuck with and why?
@Ω┊ нαη נιѕυηg -I cross my arms whilst listening, nodding slowly as you describe your personality in one word. I nod understandingly-
I see, being weird is always a good thing… as long as it’s not a creepy weird.
-I softly laugh at the addition to my comment, knowing that there were plenty different descriptions of the word ‘weird’-
Okay, you ask me another question. I will try and make sure I have a good one to ask you after.
-I hum, motioning for us to begin walking back so we could get cleaned up and head out for food-
@α┊кιм нαηвιη ᵇᶦ Ah..
/I grow embarrassed by the comment of laugh and just shakes my head slightly as I gather my things. Grabbing my things and turning to face you again once settled/
My personality I would say weird? Not in a bad way it's just that it changes depending on who I'm around or how many people I'm around if that makes any sense..
@Ω┊ нαη נιѕυηg Your laugh is cute…
-I find myself wondering what you mean by your comment. Too perfect? For who? You? I decide not to question it since it was my turn to ask you another question-
Hm,
-Im pondering again, chewing my lower lip as I’m wondering what else I could learn from this conversation-
How would you describe your personality?
-I slip into my slides whilst waiting for you to gather your thighs-
@α┊кιм нαηвιη ᵇᶦ /raise my hands to ruffle through my messy hair before I'm looking at you with a curious tilt of my head as I wait for your answer./
/biting down on my lower lip gently at the comment while nodding my head a few times in understanding/
You're starting to sound a little too perfect, hyung.
/laughs off as I turn away from you to try and hide the smile that stays on my lips/
Hm, ask away~
@Ω┊ нαη נιѕυηg -Continues to pat myself dry whilst you think up a question to ask me. I’m sure to get all areas before placing the towel on my head to soak up the water from my locks of hair-
-I glance over to you and spot the faint pink dusting your cheeks which causes me to smile slightly to myself-
I don’t mind, if it’s a part of who they are who am I to deny them? It only adds to them and I find it cute. Happy that they aren’t afraid of letting those characteristics out.
-I finish getting most of the excess water out of my hair and drape the towel around my neck, just in case any more drops slide down-
I suppose it’s my turn to ask a question?
@α┊кιм нαηвιη ᵇᶦ /humming lightly once you remove your finger just to pet out a soft hum as I get up once again while lightly clearing my throat/
Hm right....let's see.
/mutters softly as I try to think of a good enough question for you. Deciding to go a little more personal which also cause a soft tiny of pink to form on my cheeks before I even ask the question/
How do you feel about guys that decide to dress or act more on the feminine side?
@Ω┊ нαη נιѕυηg -Removes my finger from your forehead once I was sure you got the gist of it. Happy to have shared these exercises with you-
Haha, well, thank you. I’m glad I can be of some help.
-Speaks softly, watching as your dark orbs open and look at me. This causes me to stand up straight and rub my nape sheepishly-
Okay, uh, next question…
-I chime and snatch my towel from the chair, patting myself dry whilst I wait-
@α┊кιм нαηвιη ᵇᶦ /I instantly lower my head when your eyes open again doing my best to hide the slight blush that formed on my cheeks. I blink a few times at the hair pushed away from my face just to peek up at you curiously again. /
Oh- okay.
/bobs my head in a nod as my eyes fall shut to try relax and focus on the trick that you do I let out a faint hum at the comment. A faint hum falling from my lips in understanding/
I see...you're better at this then I'd thought you'd be. Definitely makes me feel better. Safer.
/whispers as my eyes slowly open to look up at you/
@Ω┊ нαη נιѕυηg Mhm~
-Opens my eyes to show off my dark orbs of life shortly after finishing, unknowing of you watching me instead of your hand-
-I’m happy to see your excited to see this trick and want to know more-
Sure
-I raise a hand to gently move strands of hair from your forehead-
Okay, for this one you want to close your eyes and draw a figure 8 or the infinity sign. Take slow deep breaths while doing this as well.
-Places the finger pad of my index finger on your forehead, my eyes open so I can track my finger, and begins to slowly make a sideways 8 on your forehead-
Another one you can do is run your wrists under cold water, it can help to slow your heart rate. Usually when our heart rate is going crazy it can make us feel like we can’t calm down or control ourselves.
-I say all this as if I had experienced it first hand, but I have a dear friend who suffers and I learned many of these things from her-
@α┊кιм нαηвιη ᵇᶦ It's not you're fault if anything it's mine for just assuming you'd be the same way.
/my voice grows soft since I kept thinking of things from the past instead of focusing on what was happening now. Shaking my head after a moment to push the thoughts away and instead focus on the trick you show/
Oh..I see. That's very smart.
/mutters as my gaze raises to watch you your voice as you go through it all. A shy smile forming on my lips since you went to such lengths and at the question I blink a few times not wanting to be caught staring just to look abck to my hand/
Yeah? Hm, show me.
/nods slightly as I gaze back up at you curiously. Eyes nearly sparkling at the fact that I've learned a new trick to help./
@Ω┊ нαη נιѕυηg Ah, I’m sorry you had experiences where it was much more intense than it should have been…
-I chime in a soft tone, wanting to show that I was different and not going to treat you in such a way-
Really? Well, thank you for telling me. I will be sure to help you as much as I’m able.
-I crouch down and gently take your hand in mine, facing it so your palm was toward me. I take my index finger and start at the bottom of your thumb-
Okay, so this is a deep breathing exercise along with a sensory type of thing~ what you want to do is inhale while your finger slowly travels up your other fingers and exhale while traveling down. So like this…
-Slowly drags my index finger up your thumb, inhaling deeply whilst doing so, eyes closed. Once at the tip of your finger I slowly trail my finger down and exhale the breath I had taken in. I did this with every finger on your hand before parting-
I feel a bit more relaxed after doing that… I have another one if you’re curious?
@α┊кιм нαηвιη ᵇᶦ It's very rare to find someone as understanding as you have been with me though...plus when it comes to games like this people can get pretty intense even if it's for fun.
/I've had bad experiences before were it was just supposed to be a fun game when instead I was hurt in the end and made to sit out so I had appreciated everything you've done. As is all back over to the chairs to grab at my towel and start to dry off slightly while listening to your answer/
Ah....just if you're serious about spending more time with me I tend to have episodes often. I wouldn't want you to not be prepared...thats nice of you. At least you wouldn't panick.
/mutters before I'm sitting on the chair and looking at you with a curious tilt of my head as I hold our my hand for you/
@Ω┊ нαη נιѕυηg Me too…
-I chirp, glad that you were also ready to get out and that hunger was beginning to set in-
-Notes your figure shifting closer until you’re able to plant a soft kiss on my cheek, I turn my head to look at you with a somewhat stunned expression. I didn’t hate it, I was just surprised by it-
Of course, what kind of person would I be if I couldn’t have patience and understanding? I’m also having fun with you.
-I watch as you go ahead of me and it triggers me to follow after you, climbing out of the pool and sauntering toward our chairs-
That is a pretty intense question… I think I would try to find out in what way they are feeling this way. If they aren’t sure then I would offer doing deep breathing exercises, finding different ways to help them calm down. Can I see your hand? I know of a trick that is supposed to help.
@α┊кιм нαηвιη ᵇᶦ /I freeze for a moment when you say my name so seriously before I'm letting out a shakey breath worried that you were going to say something meanier. Instead I find myself relaxing again as I bob my head in a nod of understanding. /
Makes sense..
/hums lightly before raising a brow in confusion when you suddenly toss the ball to the side though the mention of getting out has a faint smile forming on my lips./
Sure, that sounds good. I'm starting to get hungry anyways.
/nods shifting closer to you for a moment just to pause and quickly leaning in to press a very light kiss to your cheek/
Thanks for being so understanding and doing this with me. Im having fun so far.
/mutters loud enough for you to hear before continuing out the water/
Okay as for my next question...how would you respond to someone you care for having some type of emotional episode or even an anxiety attack?
@Ω┊ нαη נιѕυηg -I feel bad the moment you apologize for not being super sporty, it wasn’t my intention to make you apologize-
Jisung, I don’t care that you’re not good at it. I’m having fun with you, that’s all that matters. Don’t feel like you need to apologize for that.
-I hope that this reassures you, figuring I should be a little more careful with how I reply to things-
Well, I do want to get to know you so I feel like this may be appropriate.
-Nods as I have before, carefully listening-
I understand…
-I say, catching the ball and tossing it off to the side. I instead make my way toward you but am courteous of your space-
Why don’t we go ahead and get out? We can ask one another questions while on the way back? I believe I need you to ask me two more before I can ask you another~
-I hum, hoping you wouldn’t mind the suggestion-
@α┊кιм нαηвιη ᵇᶦ That makes sense..
/mutters as I puff out my cheeks a little just to glance over at you again at the comment hoping you weren't to upset over how bad I ended up being. /
Sorry...not the sporty type. I'm trying my best.
/nibbling on my lower lip lightly before I'm looking to the sky again/
That's a kinda deep question...but I guess I don't? I'm alone enough as is that I'm used to it. It does leave me with pretty negative thoughts but there isn't much I can do about it.
/I finish by hitting the ball back over to you/
@Ω┊ нαη נιѕυηg That’s understandable, it seems like quality time may be part of your love language.
-Of course that was just an assumption, I couldn’t be for sure-
-I furrow my brows and shrug my shoulders when the ball hit the water-
You seem to need some practice
-I watch you puff out your cheeks and in return I offer a kind smile-
Okay, question three…
How do you cope with loneliness?
@α┊кιм нαηвιη ᵇᶦ Yeah? I mean I know they're simplistic things but most the time it's what I crave for the most..
/sticking my tongue out at you to try and distract you but instead it fails and I'm left chasing after the ball again in which it ends up in the water/
Wow I'm bad this..
/cheeks in flate slightly that I missed it again/
@Ω┊ нαη נιѕυηg -I’m intently listening to what you have to say, hanging onto every word as if it was an answer on a pop quiz-
That makes sense, I like those things too.
-Hums softly-
Yes, two to one~
-I say this as I make contact with the ball, making sure it went back to you-
