/leans against the wall after sending the text, fixing his cap as his eyes looks at the people in the park, a soft smile on his face/

@✦ riley yoo「ᴏʀᴇᴀ」ᵐʸˢᵗⁱᵠᵘᵉ after a bit of stifling through the bags, she managed to find it and took a random one out of it, peeling it almost immediately in fear that it might melt. not too soon after, she took a bite out of it and hummed in bliss, leaning back to enjoy both the ice cream and the cool breeze. "I can come here when it is drizzling but not in the heavy rain. as for snow... maybe same, if it's just light snow, i can find myself being at the park and getting lost in my own thoughts." with that out of , she continued to nibble at the ice cream in her hand. "i love the stillness and silence this place brings, reminding me of home back then. it had been 8 years since i left."

@✦ patrick jainukul「ᴋɪᴛ」ᵗʳᵃⁱⁿᵉᵉ Bright smile at the younger as he sat down next to him "Its been a long time since I last saw you my friend" he laughed a bit, it was a bit of shock to see someone else who had work in the Thai industry, to be fair not many people around the area knew about him unless they had work with him before or saw his drama. The elder just smile at the younger he had grown so much.

He wonder a bit "I am actually here working on a new drama, its a korean one, but they asked me kindly to be part of it" he laughed a bit "what about you? how have you been I heard you quit acting and move, I was a bit shock i never expected that of you" he spoke curiously, he had heard about a few actors who drop actign and move away for a better future, but he didn't hear much from Patrick.

@✦ xenia chalita calhoun ᵗʳᵃⁱⁿᵉᵉ () I swear I replied. I'm so sorry!

"I sure did, Xenia!" Riley said excitedly. She laughed softly, picking up her pace until they reached Riley's favorite spot. Immediately, she sat down, leaning against the tree with a content sigh. "Yep. I come here sometimes just to sit and think. Unless it's raining or snowing." She hummed. She smiled, letting Xenia pick out an ice cream from the bag. "Right there. It's in that bag."

@✧ bright vachirawit ᵃᶜᵗᵒʳ Kit was so lost in his music that he was shocked to hear his name being called. His eyes shot open and he looked over at the person who called him. He blinked a couple times and removed his headphones. When it finally hit him who it was standing before him, his eyes went wide. "Bright?!" He asked in shock.

It's been a couple years since Kit last saw him. They knew eachother when Kit was back in Thailand acting. So he really didn't expect to see him here in Korea of all places. "What brings you here of all places?" He asked softly, moving over so Bright could have a seat on the bench as well.

@✦ patrick jainukul「ᴋɪᴛ」ᵗʳᵃⁱⁿᵉᵉ Bright was getting off a meeting when he decided to go the park, he needed some time decompress from all the meeting he had been having latetly. He wanted some time to breath and not feel like he was drowning with work, when he got out of the elevator he put on a mask and his sunglasses walking out so his fans wouldn't notice him much. Before he knew it he was already at the park, and he finally felt a bit more relax than what he had anticipated.

The blue sky was beautiful, and the bright sun was shinning down on him and he started to walk taking his mask off, and just enjoying the fresh air. He looked around seeing a bench under a tree, he found a bit curious and notice a person, he didn't want to bother the person, but looking at him closely he seem familiar, when he got close his eyes winded a bit as he offered a small smile "Patrick?" he asked curiously as he looked at the person sitting.

@✧ bright vachirawit ᵃᶜᵗᵒʳ Kit sighed as he took a walk around the park, before finally deciding to sit down. He had a long day of practice, so the fresh air felt really nice and very much needed. The bench he was sitting on was next to the walking path, overlooking a beautiful lake. It was a nice and peaceful area.

Kit took out his phone and headphones, turning on some music and closing his eyes. Kit has always been one to keep to himself. He was too shy to really approach anyone. So most of the time he was just spending his free time alone and with nothing to really do. He'd mainly just go out and walk the park, or lock himself in his room and play games or watch a movie when he was done with practice.

@✧ seo mingyu「ɢʏᴜ」ᵗʳᵃⁱⁿᵉᵉ () no problem~

@✦ hannah choi ᵃᶜᵗʳᵉˢˢ () I will move this to our walls okay ? ><

@✧ seo mingyu「ɢʏᴜ」ᵗʳᵃⁱⁿᵉᵉ Hannah knew she'd be having a good time as soon as she'd lay her eyes on Mingyu. Though skeptical about the whole thing at first she became more and more comfortable with the idea of it. Finally relaxing enough to enjoy their little escapades under the moonlight.

Feeling his lips against hers made everything so much better. Hidden, secret kisses under the starry night sky. Hannah wasn't naieve. She knew what she was signing up for when this all started. And yet, his words always had a weird effect on her. She loved it though.

"You have such a way with words, Gyu." She mused softly. Letting him play up his playboy-ability. She smiled softly, leaning into her seat with a content look on her face. She looked down at their hands when he took hers. Before she started this with him the most contact with a boy she'd allowed herself was to hold hands. But it was different with him, for some reason. A reason she couldn't figure out.

"You've got me all night, Gyu." She whispered. Squeezing his hand lightly as he drove them to the hotel. She looked out the window before replacing her mask, looking over at Gyu. "Ready to go in~?"

@✦ hannah choi ᵃᶜᵗʳᵉˢˢ mingyu couldn't help but smile at hannah's playful words, her teasing bringing warmth to the cool night air. her presence was like a comforting embrace, and he cherished these moments they stole away from the world.

he watched as she pulled her mask down, their lips meeting beneath the soft glow of the moon. It was a stolen kiss, a secret shared only between them and the night sky. mingyu's heart swelled with affection, grateful for these quiet, intimate moments that seemed to define their connection.

her giggle was music to his ears, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment wash over him. "you have that effect on me too," he confessed, with his sweet words like usual. "whenever I'm with you, hannah, everything else just fades away." a playboy like him for sure learnt all those cheesy and sweet words to impresser girls.

her kiss on his cheek sent a shiver down his spine, and he couldn't help but hold her hand a little tighter, their fingers intertwined. the idea of going to their favorite hotel brought a mischievous twinkle to his eye. "absolutely," he replied with a playful grin. "I can't wait to have you all to myself, away from all the stress and worries."

starting the car, mingyu pulled away from the moonlit scene, heading towards the hotel where they had shared countless times of their hot session.

@✧ seo mingyu「ɢʏᴜ」ᵗʳᵃⁱⁿᵉᵉ Hannah smiled, shaking her head at his playful words. "As if I would miss my favorite distraction." She teased softly. She pulled her mask down and allowed the kiss with a smile. The moonlight was the perfect cover. It was beautiful seeing the way it shone down on the duo inside of the car. Thankful it was late and not many people would be out and about in this area.

The girl giggled softly, tilting her head. "Is that so? I could definitely say the same for you..." She mused. "You always seem to melt my stress away... It's so nice, Gyu..." She pressed a kiss to his cheek. Happy to hear he was looking forward to it. "Me too... Today was so stressful I was happy to see your texts."

Hannah put her hand on top of his, leaning her head into his hand a little bit. The hotel... It's become her favorite spot most days. "Mmm... Yes please~. Let's go, Gyu~." She was getting anxious gut in the best way. Unable to wait too much longer.

@✦ riley yoo「ᴏʀᴇᴀ」ᵐʸˢᵗⁱᵠᵘᵉ "did you just say ice creams? Yo! we gonna have to eat that real soon before they all melt. come on, come on!" she urged gently, her walking pace picking up speed towards the assumed spot where the other had picked out earlier. Seeing the tree Riley had pointed out at, xenia wasted no time in racing towards the said spot and parked her scooter against its trunk and spun around so hard that she gave herself her own whiplash. no sooner than that, her hand already reached for the bags and used her vision to guess which bag had the ice creams. "things in traineeship did to us.. it sure does.. now where're the ice cream?"

@✦ hannah choi ᵃᶜᵗʳᵉˢˢ "mmm, well, look who's gracing me with her presence tonight," mingyu purred, a playful glint in his eyes as hannah entered the car. he leaned over, planting a soft and tantalizing peck on her lips, his fingers lightly brushing her cheek. the moonlight that filtered through the car windows seemed to intensify the allure of the moment.

"you always manage to make my day, you know that?" mingyu continued, his voice carrying a mixture of admiration and desire. he could feel the tension and stress from his day slowly melting away in her presence. "and I've been looking forward to this... diversion," he added with a sly grin, his tone laced with anticipation.

mingyu's fingers traced a gentle path from her cheek to her chin as he held her gaze, his eyes locking onto hers. "shall we head to our secret hideaway at the hotel, my dear?" he inquired, the subtle promise of the night's adventure hanging between them like a tantalizing secret waiting to be unveiled.

@✧ seo mingyu「ɢʏᴜ」ᵗʳᵃⁱⁿᵉᵉ Hannah walked down the street briskly. Her face covered with sunglasses and a mouth cover, and a hat hiding her hair, which was in a ponytail. And she was dressed in some casual clothes, that she'd changed into to help her cover. The moonlight helped as well. No one could really tell it was her. Which made her decide the sunglasses could come off.

She honestly couldn't wait for tonight's little escapade with Mingyu. Work had her a little stressed out and she knew he had his ways to make all of that melt away. It was nice. Friends with benefits wasn't an issue for her as she was in no rush to fall in love, with anyone.

She rounded the corner and saw Mingyu's car. Instantly filled with relief. She was still a little bit away from it. Giving her enough time to think about how everything would play out and it was making her a little excited. It has been a bit since they were both free to do this. Hiding from media was hard, especially when they were waiting at every corner to try to catch something to gossip about. A new scandal to feed the public.

Keeping this a secret was a breeze for Hannah. She didn't want to get caught and knew he definitely didn't either. It's easy when both parties understand the risks. She approached his car and tapped the hood lightly to let him know it was her. Opening the passenger door with a smile. "Hey you~." She shut the door and got situated.

@✦ hannah choi ᵃᶜᵗʳᵉˢˢ mingyu sat in his sleek black car, the engine humming softly as he waited in the dimly lit parking lot of the secluded park. he glanced at his watch, impatiently tapping his fingers on the steering wheel. the moonlight filtered through the trees, casting ethereal shadows across the empty spaces around him.

tonight, he was meeting hannah, a friend with benefits who was as skilled in keeping secrets as she was in her acting roles. they had to be careful, especially given their shared entanglements in the world of glamour and fame. gor him, these encounters were usually fleeting and exciting diversions, but hannah had a way of making their trysts feel different—more intimate.

he checked his phone for any messages, his thoughts racing as he contemplated the clandestine rendezvous they were about to get on. mingyu knew the risks, the delicate dance they had to perform to keep their escapades hidden from the prying eyes of the public and the media.

as he waited for hannah, he couldn't help but wonder how tonight's encounter would unfold. mingyu had a reputation as a playboy, but beneath the charm and allure, he was keenly aware of the need for discretion, especially when dealing with someone like hannah—an actress who understood the importance of keeping their liaisons under wraps.

@✦ xenia chalita calhoun ᵗʳᵃⁱⁿᵉᵉ Riley laughed softly when the other dismissed checking the snacks. "I got a lot. Snacks, drinks, and ice creams too." She mused. Smiling brightly. "I'm always prepared. I'm either hungry or not hungry. Right now... Hungry is the answer. So... Snack time~!" She walked towards the park with Xenia, happy they finally had time to just relax together outside the practice rooms and dorm. They entered the park and Riley immediately pointed to a large tree. "Over there. The absolute best shady grassy spot!" She started walking that way. "Its fine. I forget it's been that long sometimes... It feels like forever at other times though... Y'know?"

@✦ riley yoo「ᴏʀᴇᴀ」ᵗʳᵃⁱⁿᵉᵉ she waved her hand in a dismissive motion and shook her head, while still pushing the scooter forward. "Nah, even if it's not my favourite, i will still eat it regardless. as long as they taste good of course! i can always buy my favourite another day and you look like you—", she trailed off, her gaze once again roaming over the bags in her hands and let out an amusing snort. "—bought enough for a group. huh? then you lead the way. I have no clue what you're talking about.. and give me one of the bags, i can put that on the handles." her hand outstretched all ready to take the heaviest ones to hang on the said handles. "Sometimes i forgot it has been this long. pardon me, riley."

@✦ xenia chalita calhoun ᵗʳᵃⁱⁿᵉᵉ Riley smiled when the other gave her a confused look upon hearing her name called out. "I think so. Here. You wanna check for me? I'll go back in if your favorite isn't here!" Riley said quickly. Riley hummed softly. "There's this one super shady grassy area that's quiet. It's my favorite place to sit. Kinda in the corner of the park." She stretched a little bit before she started walking again, waiting for the other to get situated with her scooter. "I thought I'd know your favorites after being friends with you for so long, y'know?"

@✦ riley yoo「ᴏʀᴇᴀ」ᵗʳᵃⁱⁿᵉᵉ seeing that she wasn't here yet, xenia decided to head to the store while on the scooter, parking it at the side and out of the entrance way just so it wouldn't be bothering anyone. by locking it up with a special electronic lock, she turned around all ready to walk in when she heard her name being called out. "Eh?", she mused while looking up with her eyes all squinty. "Riley? You have already reached? one of them better have my favourites." With a light chortle coming out of the female, she once again unlocked her scooter and pushed it out of its parking spot and away from the store. "So where you wanna sit at?"

@✧ lee daehyun「ᴅᴜsᴋ」ᵗʳᵃⁱⁿᵉᵉ Despite having a day off work, Oliver still decided to wake up extra early on this particular morning. He was planning on meeting a friend he'd known since he was younger. A tired smile was on his face when he spotted him, waving a couple times but not speaking till he was closer to him. This wasn't cause he was conscious of being too loud, but rather because he was too tired to bother trying to project his voice. "Hey there, Dusk," He said with a hum, his head tilting to one side. "How are you doing?"

@✦ xenia chalita calhoun ᵗʳᵃⁱⁿᵉᵉ Riley hummed softly as she walked out of the convenience store. She's known Xenia long enough to be able to find the snacks and drinks she likes without being told what to grab her. It is quite hot so Riley made sure to get ice cream for the other, as well. As she was stepping out she saw her friend on a scooter. It made her smile. "Xenia!" She called out, waving. She held up the bags of snacks, drinks, and ice creams. She was more than excited to go to the park to hang out and relax. It is hot but there's one really shady spot in the park that Riley loves.

@✧ kang sungji ᵐᵃⁿᵃᵍᵉʳ Jiho had always found solace in the park, especially when he could slip away from the chaotic world of being an idol. On this particular day, he donned a mask and a hoodie, his trusted disguise to ensure he could roam freely and unnoticed. Clutching his new DSLR camera, he moved through the park, engrossed in capturing the beauty of nature.

As he framed a shot of sunlight filtering through the trees, his keen eyes caught a glimpse of someone in the distance. His heart skipped a beat, and he froze for a moment. It was her again, the girl who bore an uncanny resemblance to his first love, the one who had tragically passed away.

A rush of emotions flooded Jiho's mind. Seeing her always made him uneasy, stirring up a storm of memories and regrets that he had carried with him ever since her untimely death. He knew he couldn't simply ignore her presence this time.

Jiho heaved a sigh and carefully set his camera down on a nearby bench. With a mixture of trepidation and determination, he began to approach her, his voice quivering as he finally spoke, "Can I have a seat here?"

@✦ riley yoo「ᴏʀᴇᴀ」ᵗʳᵃⁱⁿᵉᵉ *after making plans with a fellow trainee since today was a short day for training somehow in some ways she herself cannot fathom, she heads to the park on her kick scooter which is a little a long way from home and as much as she wants to complain about the hot & humid weather, it itself is a great workout, one she really need in so long to pretty much destress. upon arriving at the rendezvous, she wonders if the latter has arrived* is she even here...? Should I head to the convenience store first?

*hearing the familiar voice from behind her, she glances over her left shoulder and snorts in amusement, seeing how the male is already struggling with the bag of cold drinks and shifts her attention back to stella, giving back the side hug that was given earlier* well the boba is here and don't kill him, we're out in the public. *she teases as she lifts her bum off the bench, reaching out for the brown-swirled cup and the straw* thank you for the treat, trent and good job on dragging these all the way here. *grins mischievously before sitting back down, tearing the plastic off the straw and shakes it around to mix the sugar and the milk tea. soon after, she poke it through the thin plastic lid, mercilessly taking long slurps until it is half empty* so good.

ugh, it's ing cold! (groans in annoyance as he makes his way over to where he could spot the two women from afar, hugging onto what seemed like a massive load of ice cool drinks as he sets them down onto the wooden park table) there we go, ladies. let me know if i got anything wrong.... or don't. i'd rather not get murdered by stella.

(peeks over her shoulder once noticing some movement from her peripheral view, squinting to make out xenia's pretty face until smiling with excitement and waving back once realizing who it is) hi unnie! at least you made it. the others are being so slow... as long as i get my boba i won't get homicidal. (laughs softly as she gently leans in to greet the other woman with a soft side hug)

/checks her phone to follow the pin to where stella might be and bumps into a street lamppost, whining right after and rubbing her forehead. instead of wasting time standing there, she just continues on until she sees the familiar face just sitting on the bench in a nice shady area. she waves in a wide motion from a short distance away to catch the other's attention and walks towards her/ heeeeey

(takes a seat at a park bench in a nice shady area, enjoying the afternoon breeze kissing against her face as she checks her phone another time to see if friends from the group chat were able to receive her location she sent) agh, where is everyone? that stupid boy better not flake on our drinks this time either...
