@Yang Jeongin ˢᵒⁿ ᵒᶠ ᴵʳⁱˢ Lino was surprised by the hug for a moment, and did a startled jump, but let the younger hold him, his eyes red and puffy, his smile weak and quivering,"it... It means a lot" lino managed to utter, he just didn't know what to do and wasn't used to someone being this kind to him, or his brother, lino just stayed like that, in jeongin's arms, for a little while, before looking at him and smiling, less Shakey and in a very thankful way
@Lee Minho ˢᵒⁿ ᵒᶠ ᴬʳᵉˢ "Oh gosh..." Not sure what to do with the tears, Jeongin just wraps his arms around Lino and hugs him. Hugs always made him feel better what he was crying, so he kept Lino in his arms, rubbing a hand along his back to try to help him calm down again. "You're welcome, I didn't do that much but you're welcome." He didn't think he'd done all that much at all but it clearly meant a lot to Lino. He supposed the grave did look more beautiful now and his brother had the flowers as company. It seemed like such a small thing to Jeongin, but it clearly meant more to Lino.
@Yang Jeongin ˢᵒⁿ ᵒᶠ ᴵʳⁱˢ lino starts choking up before pulling jeongin into a hug, crying into the youngers shoulder "t-thank you, for everything-..." he was so greatful for jeongin, even though he had just met him, he had already done so much in such a short amount of time, he tried to stop crying, but he got hiccups, and was hiccuping and crying into the youngers shoulder
@Lee Minho ˢᵒⁿ ᵒᶠ ᴬʳᵉˢ "Oh," Jeongin blinked, the didn't sound bad that sounded good. Good tears. That was better, he calmed down a little when he realized that Lino wasn't upset. Looking back at the grave he smiled softly. "I'm glad I could do this for you Jieno. You deserve a beautiful place to rest." He nodded, looking back at Lino and offering a sweet smile. "And these flowers will bloom even in the winter, they have my magic in them so they'll stay beautiful just like they are now. He'll always have a beautiful place for his spirit to rest. I think everyone deserves that, at least all the good people do, and I bet your brother was a very good person, I can tell because you're such a good person."
@Yang Jeongin ˢᵒⁿ ᵒᶠ ᴵʳⁱˢ lino looked up at jeongin, still crying, wipping his tears, smiling "no, its just... no one has ever done something like this before.... for him or me-" he continued to cry while still trying to whip the tears away, but they only kept coming, his smile shakey but pure, his eyes were full of happiness but also respect for what the younger had done
@Lee Minho ˢᵒⁿ ᵒᶠ ᴬʳᵉˢ Seeing the tears Jeongin panicked a little, flailing his arms. "Wait, I'm sorry! Did I do bad? Should I not have done that? Does he hate flowers?" He asked, he should have gone with a tree, the tree would have been better. But then maybe they weren't angry tears? "Was it me? Did I do something?" He asked, feeling bad that he'd made Lino cry when that hadn't been his intention at all. He just knew you were supposed to visit the dead and talk to them to make sure they didn't feel lonely if they were still lingering around.
@Yang Jeongin ˢᵒⁿ ᵒᶠ ᴵʳⁱˢ (short one bc idk what to really say for thisss ;;)
lino watched jeongin's actions, he stared at the ground, his eyes watering his mouth started trembling as tears started to drip down his cheeks, he was so happy and sad and just so overwhelmed with emotions, he clenched his hands in fists, no one had ever done something like this for jieno or lino.
@Lee Minho ˢᵒⁿ ᵒᶠ ᴬʳᵉˢ Jeongin knelt down in front of the grave, reaching out to touch the ground and from his fingers spreading outwards a vibrant rainbows of wildflowers sprouted surrounding the little grave stone. "Hello Jieno." He greeted him with a smile, offering a little bow. "My name is Jeongin, it's nice to meet you. Your brother Lino was telling me about you and I knew I wanted to come and visit. I hope you like flowers. I can't do many useful things but I can make flowers. They will keep you company when Lino can't be here. I wanted you to have something beautiful to surround you, because you deserve that. B-but if you don't like flowers let me know! I can do a tree instead! Or or... really only plant related things, I'm not much use outside of plants I'm afraid."
@Yang Jeongin ˢᵒⁿ ᵒᶠ ᴵʳⁱˢ Lino nodded and headed down a path, staying completely silent, walking a little bit past the gates of the camp, leading the younger into a semi lit opening, trees surrounding the two, he kneeled down and uncoved a small grave stone, reading lee jieno, it had some wilted flower petals around it, along with a bright red rose, freshly put down, must've been lino a few days ago, lino showed jeongin the grave
@Lee Minho ˢᵒⁿ ᵒᶠ ᴬʳᵉˢ "Hopefully." Jeongin agreed, but he wasn't sure how hopeful he actually was. He would make the best of it and make his own happiness though, he knew how to do that. He was good at that. "We could go now? If you wanted?" He offered, it wasn't like they were doing anything else really. Just walking and talking, and Jeongin was getting to know his new friend. He liked getting to know people, they all had their own stories to tell and he loved learning about those stories.
@Yang Jeongin ˢᵒⁿ ᵒᶠ ᴵʳⁱˢ "hopefully you'll grow to like it" pats jeongin's head gently, he looks down at the ground for a moment, seeming to be debating if he should awnser the memorial question, he nodded to himself and then looked up at the younger, "yeah i do- its hidden, i- i could show you if you want- sometime-... i mean whenever your not busy..." he seemed to be slightly nervous, but he hid it pretty well.
@Lee Minho ˢᵒⁿ ᵒᶠ ᴬʳᵉˢ "I don't know if I like this place...." Jeongin mumbled, his arms coming around to hug himself as he shook his head. It didn't sound like a nice place. The more he learned about it the less he liked. Though, he had met some nice people so maybe it wasn't all bad. He was here now so regardless he had to make the best of it somehow. "I'm sorry for your loss, and I'm sorry that no one believed you. It must be hard to grieve all alone. Do you have a memorial set up for him? I could bring him flowers?" He offered, since that's the least he could do for someone he had never met and now never would.
@Choi Yeonjun ᴱʳⁱˢ "well- that counselor is gone now- he just left, said his mother was in need, never came back, the river here is also different, it doesnt really wash things up, you throw something in there you either have to go in and get it or its gone, the river leads the the ocean over there, so either someone got the body which is highly unlikly or hes somewhere in the ocean, i got here like a year or two ago so his body is probably gone." lino could tell that the younger wasnt the same as earlier, he could tell that there was fear in jeongin's eyes, he didnt know if he was uncomfortable with lino now, so he started to walk away, putting some distance between them, walking along side of jeongin but on the opposite side of the path
@Lee Minho ˢᵒⁿ ᵒᶠ ᴬʳᵉˢ "Okay but... bodies don't just disappear... and your brother would be gone?" Jeongin pointed out, still just as confused as when he started. He didn't see how a murder could be covered up that well. There would still be a whole person missing, and the body would have washed up somewhere along the banks of the river at some point. The fact that the counselor just dismissed it so easily concerned Jeongin a lot. Did they dismiss everything so quickly? Jeongin didn't feel very safe at all if that was the case, because they should have been more competent and definitely stronger than some random girl.
@Choi Yeonjun ᴱʳⁱˢ "she threw his body in the river... while i was going to get a counselor, to help him, by the time i got back with one, the body was gone, i saw a slight trail of blood that dragged out into the river, but before i could tell the elder it was washed away, i told him after the fact, he said no proof" he waited for a moment for the younger to catch up before patting his back and leading him down a path, towards the main area of the grounds
@Lee Minho ˢᵒⁿ ᵒᶠ ᴬʳᵉˢ "But... don't you have your brother's body? I mean... you said he was... d-dead. Isn't that proof?" Jeongin asked, finding himself horribly confused and unable to keep up with what was happening. This made no sense so far but he was still a little frightened despite Lino's words. He did follow after him though, like a lost little duckling. He didn't know what else to do, he was too afraid at this point to wander off on his own.
@Hwang Hyunjin ˢᵒⁿ ᵒᶠ ᴴᵃᵈᵉˢ "Its alright... whenever you are doing anything for the first time, being scared is good. That means you are going to be careful. But at the same time, try not to overthink and just go with the flow." He said and blinked as he had a small idea. "How bout we go now? Have you been to New York? we can try delicious and unique foods there." he offered and sneakily takes out two Persephone's pearls from his pocket.
@Henry Cavill ˢᵒⁿ ᵒᶠ ᴴᵃᵈᵉˢ At the touch, Hyunjin was about to pull away, only to allow the other to push up the corner of his lip. It felt weird to smile, rubbing his cheek and letting the smile disappear. Any country? Hyunjin looks to his hands, soon putting them on. “I-i wouldn’t know where to go Henry.” Frowning before listening. “I’m scared of that.”
@Yang Jeongin ˢᵒⁿ ᵒᶠ ᴵʳⁱˢ "they dont believe me, i had no evidence or witnesses... no nothing." lino stopped for a moment to listen to a nearby camper yelling happily 'shes gone!!' 'finally!!' the girl had been taken into higher powers, where they would be able to punish her the correct way, lino let out a small sigh of relief and continued to walk away, "your safe now,.." he said quietly to jeongin as he turned slightly, and waved for jeongin to follow him "come on kid" he said
@Lee Minho ˢᵒⁿ ᵒᶠ ᴬʳᵉˢ "Why didn't you tell the counselors now? I mean if they know she can wipe memories then they would know you're telling the truth. Wouldn't they?" Jeongin asked, grasping at straws because this whole thing was scaring him more than he wanted to admit. He was not okay with the fact that a murderer was running around camp acting like a total psycho. He was on her hit list, he was going to die. That thought almost made him panic and he didn't know what to do when Lino turned away from him. "W-why are you sorry?" He squeaked, he felt so small and so helpless and so out of his element. He didn't know how to handle things this heavy the worst he'd ever had to deal with was when his pet rabbit died.
@Yang Jeongin ˢᵒⁿ ᵒᶠ ᴵʳⁱˢ "no they dont allow it, its strictly prohibited" lino breathes deeply and lets go of jeongin and stands up straight, "her powers, they can make anyone forget a event, small or large, she did it to everyone at the camp, it somehow didnt effect me" lino's hands started shaking at the thought of seeing his brother, the image played over and over, his hands clenched, "i shouldnt have told you" lino said as he turned to leave, as he turned jeongin could see that lino was tearing up "im sorry"
@Lee Minho ˢᵒⁿ ᵒᶠ ᴬʳᵉˢ "I didn't realize they let people murder each other here..." Jeongin felt a sinking feel in his gut even with Lino's reassurances. Lino was still a stranger, why would he promise to protect him? It didn't really make sense, and Jeongin was going to have to find a counselor and ask them about this because he didn't think this camp allowed murder. That just seemed wrong, his parent never would have encouraged him to come here if it was dangerous. He knew that, he knew his parents only wanted what was best for him. "I don't feel so good suddenly... why didn't you tell the counselors? Why didn't they know about it? I don't understand."
@Yang Jeongin ˢᵒⁿ ᵒᶠ ᴵʳⁱˢ "yes, the day she came, she murdered my older brother" he didnt move, the memory seemed to haunt him, the camp did not allow killing at all but she had done it out of pure jelousy, then she had whiped the memory of all the campers and councilers so they didn't remember, but he did and it had tramatized him, thats why he had grown his power more and more, his power was much stronger than hers, and more powerfull them most of the campers here and even some of the councilers "no one will hurt you, as long as im here, no matter what" he said, his voice was reassuring
@Lee Minho ˢᵒⁿ ᵒᶠ ᴬʳᵉˢ "Wait, she killed someone?!" Jeongin yelped, that shocked him to the core and he felt like he was the one who got drenched. He didn't know they allowed that kind of thing here. He was frozen with his shock, so much so that he didn't even move as Lino buried his face in his neck. He could have died. He hadn't considered that at all. Everyone here had powers, he wasn't special anymore, and some of their powers were dangerous. He really could have died trying to help Lino and he hadn't even considered that as a possibility. He wasn't sure he liked this camp so much if people were allowed to murder each other so easily.
@Yang Jeongin ˢᵒⁿ ᵒᶠ ᴵʳⁱˢ Lino whispered in his ear, "shes not my friend, shes obsessive and crazy, she killed my brother because she thought he was a random boy who had a crush on me, he didnt, he was innocent" his voice started shaking as he burried his face in the crevis of jeongin's neck "it wasnt your fault, i've been ignoring her for a while," lino's hair was somewhat wet from the cloud, it had gotten his hair just a bit, "please dont be sorry" he says before reburing his face in jeongin's neck
@Lee Minho ˢᵒⁿ ᵒᶠ ᴬʳᵉˢ Jeongin blinked in surprise when he was hugged, but he didn't fight it. He slowly reached out to wrap his arms around Lino in return, patting his back to try to help bring him some kind of comfort. "Sorry. I really didn't mean to cause any problems with you. You didn't have to cancel your plans for me. Maybe next time you can spend the time with your friends and come see me after. I could have waited." He honestly felt bad for causing that scene, it was his fault the girl had gotten so upset and he genuinely felt bad for her upset and for Lino's anger.
@Yang Jeongin ˢᵒⁿ ᵒᶠ ᴵʳⁱˢ "Go!"Lino barked the order at her, she stepped back still soaked and ran off seeming like lino had just broken up with her or she had found him cheating, lino tensed and turned to face jeongin, his eyes slightly less red, he moved toward jeongin and then pulled him into a hug, his anger seemed to fade as hugged jeongin, the way the younger smelled seemed to calm him,
@Lee Minho ˢᵒⁿ ᵒᶠ ᴬʳᵉˢ Uh oh, Jeongin had no idea how she knew he had been the one to create the raincloud. No one even knew him here, let alone what his powers were so that threw him for a loop. He quickly waved the cloud away but it was already too late, she was soaked, and even more angry and suddenly Lino was grabbing her when she lunged at him. He took several steps back, wide-eyed and slightly fearful of what was happening in front of him. "M-maybe you should just go with her? I don't want to cause so many problems..."
@Yang Jeongin ˢᵒⁿ ᵒᶠ ᴵʳⁱˢ The girl screamed at jeongin, accusing him again, the rain cloud formed over her and drenched her, she screamed in anger and attempted to grab jeongin, immediatly assuming it was him who had done it to her, lino's eyes narrowed more and he grabbed her wrist before she could touch jeongin, his eyes glowing a deep red, anger filling his eyes, he was pissed at the girl and the way she treated him and his friends and especially the way she treated jeongin just then, he growled under his breath and let go of her wrist, it was really red
