( first love / late winter— taeyeon

with @shintaeyeonnie​

        “ —– huh? … oh , uh.. i’m sorry. ” it was true that her gaze had been wandering away the whole night for a certain geum girl that had been lately occupying every little space of her brain and how unfair was that. but , when the boy asked , taeyeon had put every effort into convincing him that she wouldn’t have been a good date and perhaps , the literal line of woman waiting for him to ask would’ve been a better choice. —- yet , despite it all , he chose her. kangdae always chose her and there were possibly no words to describe just how thankful she was for him. 

                                          so , how could she have said no? 

        possibly borderline selfish , but taeyeon knew that about herself. knew that she asked kangdae to take someone else but wouldn’t actually be able to fully see him grow close to someone that wasn’t her. but that meant nothing , right? she’s just an overprotective friend. yeah. 

        finally breaking into a smile at his words , the older shook her head before nudging him back. “ i think i look prettier as a wallflower but my date… hmm , you’re right i guess , he does clean up well in a suit. ” hands trailing up to his tie as she straightened it before giving it a gentle pat. “ but you know i don’t dance… ” she agreed to come to the thing , where’s the effort though?   “ —— maybe i can try?. ” 

     kangdae may be dumb. but he’s not stupid. 

    at least when it came to emotions. he can tell that taeyeon didn’t want to be there, ( but that was often the case ). but he knows she doesn’t want to talk about it with him, at least not yet. so instead he smiles as he always does, his fingers finding hers, intertwining them for a moment before pulling away. “ you don’t have to say sorry, i just want to have fun with you. no pressure.” well, he’s not as unselfish as he seems, his feelings for taeyeon has always made him a bit more protective, a bit more aggressive, always having to push down the urge to make her LOOK at him.

   kangdae tilts his head, before laughing, “ i grew up surrounded by flowers, “ he says as he gazes down at his date fondly, as she straightens tie, it had become crooked as he ran around the ball.  his fingers gingerly pick up her hand, bringing it up to his lips and pressing a soft kiss to it, “ you’re not meant to be a wallflower, at least to me.” it’s embarrassing, and kangdae feels even more out of his element, classical music filling his ear instead of the heavy bass and quick beats he’s used to but he swallows it down, hoping his ears don’t redden. he’s not the handsome and smart lead that taeyeon deserves. not the same level of beauty or grace she naturally comes out of.

    “i don’t dance fancy either, i can probably dougie though.” he says the impish smile is back, holding out his arm for taeyeon to grab ahold of, “ we can make a fool of ourselves together, i promise.” he explained, as he lead them towards the dance floor.

( first love / late winter— taeyeon

with @shintaeyeonnie​

“you seem distracted,” kangdae stated, not that he doesn’t feel off himself. the tie around his neck felt like it was choking him, and the suit felt like it was a different person’s. even if he had went with seojun to pick one out. he was far more used to wearing hanboks or robes at formal events, it wasn’t until he attended college that he began to wear formal suits. he wondered if taeyeon could tell he felt out of place.

he was surprised she even said yes, he knew things were going with taeyeon that she didn’t want to talk to him about, so he didn’t press the matter. yet, he took it upon himself that she could at least have a fun time at the ball.

“nonna,” he chimes, poking at her arm playfully, “ come on, it’s a dance, don’t you want to dance or something, you’re too pretty to be a wallflower, and your date is too hot to be one to..”

【↝ @msukangdae​ 】

sage isn’t weak, in fact pretty far from it. they’ve been through their families insane trials of strength, and they are still alive. so yes, sage can handle himself. but it doesn’t mean they don’t like when sweet people offer to help them. or did they tell kangdae to do it this time? that much doesn’t matter. regardless, they do enjoy the help and company while they make their way to class. that is what brought sage to letting—possibly making—kangdae carry his bag to class. it was heavy enough that it did feel like a weight lifted off of his own small frame. he could have just used magic, but the way kangdae thinks is entertaining to him so he does genuinely appreciate the company. “ kangdae, you won’t be late to your own classes, correct? ” he checks in half-minded. in all honesty, he doesn’t care if the other man is late. but he feels its respectful to ask.

it was easy for kangdae drop what he was doing and help others. whenever he saw a friend in need, his feet moved before his brain could, pulling him towards the other with a polite smile. ( maybe it was his grandmother’s nagging, always urging him to help the the old ladies in the market ) 

so it’s no surprise when he swings by sage, taking the other’s bag in a quick scoop. “ uhhh...”kangdae furrows his bro, did he have a class soon? what day was it? no wait, he took most of his classes in the morning due to needing time off for quidditch. “ nah! i’m pretty free in the afternoon, at least today, i have a stupid lecture class at night though, but the professor doesn’t mind if i’m late. 

probably being co-captain of the geum quidditch team had it’s perks, especially as a sports management major. he shifts the weight of sage’s bag, humming to himself, “ how many books did you cram into here?” he questioned, “ or is it something cool like...oh like a cursed monkey doll or something, i don’t know what you guys do in those curse classes.”

msutaeyeon​:

​( are you lonely? ━ taeyeon

        shin kangdae possible actor?? that’s what it seemed like in the way he soothed the apparent pain on his shoulder… not to mention the compliment he’d always so subtly slip in that’d make the older laugh ( not to mention the slight tint of red on her cheeks ). “ yeah but i did join the boxing club a while ago so don’t say dumb shit like that unless you wanna get beat up. ” she teased in return , her nose scrunching up before a proud smile graced her lips. —- had it always been this fun and easy with him?

         scoffing at his… self confidence , taeyeon broke the gaze to look out to the horizon. his playful nature was such a stark difference from the kind of way she was brought and the people that surrounded her. it was all work and no anything else at the shin household , maybe that’s why she was so enchanted by this innocent looking boy who stumbled into london from an humble little city , so full of life. despite being hesitant at first , taeyeon was always enamoured.

        “ my heart does not… flutter… ” my heart does nothing after eloise trampled all over it. a bleak thought she was more thank happy to keep to herself. “ handsome… hmm , i don’t really see it. ” she mused , turning head to look at him , as if actually examining the possibility of his face being… handsome. —- of course it was and she knew this. many a times she caved because of those innocent looking eyes. 

        suddenly though , he was up and gesturing towards the open space and taeyeon followed his gaze , nodding at the view. definitely serene and peaceful and— wait , why is he taking his shirt off?? why is she watching him take his shirt off?? why hasn’t she said anything about him taking it off dramatically slow?? —- when did he get those abs?? did he always have them?? does he do many crunches while sweat drips down his chest and—– HELLO !!! stop that !!! 

     finally caught up to what was happening , her mouth was still half-open and her eyebrows raised at the sheer audacity of the man to just… jump into the lake. “ —– are you insane??? you’re gonna catch a cold and i don’t even have my potions kit with me to help !! ”  oh every fibre of her being knew this was dumb…. but then why was she a little tempted to jump in. “ is that even allowed? kangdae-yah , come on.. come back out… ” 

     it was easy to make taeyeon’s cheeks flush. so simple to have her stumble over her words, ( back then it was on accident ) kangdae was always an affectionate person, never stingy with praise, or sweet words. but he had learned quickly that for taeyeon people tended to be much stricter with honeyed words. and now he did his best to ensure that the older woman would never be without it, even if she called him stupid because of it.      kangdae may not be the most intelligent, he much preferred playing in the field, then looking at  old textbooks, and writing essays. but he’s not dumb. kangdae’s well aware he’s handsome. from the way girls in his school would twirl their hair as they asked him to carry their books or how the older ladies at the market would pull at his cheek when he passed them by. but he won’t hold that over taeyeon, after all this was a trip to cheer her up. instead, he slyly smiles, “mhm for sure, maybe get your eyes checked, my mom told me i’m very handsome every time i see her, i don’t think she’ll be kind to you once i tell her that you don’t think i am.”      he laughs, unashamed and loud as always.  “ taeyeon, come onnn, it’s fine.” he says as he quickly swims closer to the edge of the dock. easily adapting to the cool water, it reminds him of summers years before, before magic and absent fathers came to ruin it.  he leans against it, droplets of water sliding onto the wooden dock. “my mom has some potions in the cupboard, come on, it’s fine! we’ll just warm ourselves up with some spell later, you’re smart, you should know one.” he urges, as always a dumb smile on his face.      it’s times like this though, kangdae realizes how pretty taeyeon is. as her brows furrowed with worry, and her cheeks flushed in color similar to the persimmons his family grows, he wants to take a picture, was there a spell for that? one that could savor this moment for him? he holds his hand out once more, “ come on, you’re not gonna let me get sick by myself right?”

msucallie​:

msuseojun​:

— young, wild & free

event starter for @msucallie​ & @msukangdae​

not going to lie, but callie was pretty surprised when seojun had invited her to come chill with him and kangdae – not that they didn’t before. the three usually hung out around campus whenever they were free to, but the two geumseong males had a very specific group of friends they would actually party with that differed from callie’s own company. so when she received a text in a group chat asking her if she wanted to blow off some steam down by the lake, who really was she to say no? it was halloween after all, the night for the mad and insane!

she was just leaving the mirror maze (after being stuck there a little too long with a specific quidditch captain, but digression) when she realized that it was time to meet up with seojun and kangdae. hurrying over to the lake where the dock was, callie spotted a darkly clothed figure only to recognize it as seojun after closer inspection – ignoring the fact that he had called her out a second before.

“sorry! i was going to be here sooner, but i was held up. don’t get your cape twisted, kylo.” she stuck her tongue out at him, but then grinned signifying that she was only teasing him. peering into the darkness, she squinted for a sign of the taller geumseong student only to see another figure approaching them not long after. “see, i’m still here before kangdae so i should get bonus points for that.” there was a small pause as she reached into the side satchel of her costume, pulling out a small favor bag that she had snatched from one of the party tables earlier in the evening. “oh, and i have candy too. i don’t know, i think you should accept my peace offering.”

KANGDAE felt a rush of childish glee pass through him. halloween was still relatively new to kangdae, he never celebrated as a kid, and it seemed nothing like the movies he used to watched as one. nope, a lot more skin ( not that he really minded that )  and alcohol seemed to be the main event, not the candy. ( which was sort of disappointing to the geumsong chaser but! that’s not the point) maybe it was because he started celebrating as a teenager rather than a child,  it wasn’t nearly frightful as he was told.

nah.nothing was that spooky about hanging out with two friends near the lake. okay maybe a little, they probably could have pregamed in the dorms like anyone else but it could be fun! it was halloween after all. he didn’t see callie outside of practice as often, maybe here and there but running in different circles when it came to weekends and the partying scenes made it unusual to pregame with her. and that should be pretty fun. plus the idea of seeing what the other two had decided to dress up WAS exciting. kangdae himself had decided to hide what he was going to be, which WAS HARD from his roommate and friend,and he was pleasantly pleased by the way he managed to pull it off.

he spotted the two not far from him, and quickly made his way towards them, only catching the end of their conversation as he watched callie pull out a small favor bag, fingers snatching the bag with ease. “ don’t mind if i do,” kangdae said cheerfully, but his smile quickly dies down as he pulls out a candy corn, ugh ew. the young man flicks it at seojun’s, “ohhh dude, are you like….an emo kid or something?”

my dude.

watching a movie with @msukangdae​. 

“i don’t get this.” honestly, nate isn’t that big of a movie person. well, depends on the movie — animated ones, he can get behind, but this? he can barely even tell what it is they’re watching. some kind of horror movie? mystery? some other weird movie genre? he doesn’t know, all he knows is this movie sure is confusing as hell. which is, to be fair, how he feels about most movies, but still.

“like, okay, there’s a disease? or some shit? is that all?” he looks over at kangdae with an inquisitive look, but the junior looks just as confused as nate feels. so, uh, he’s probably getting just as much as nate is, then. “let’s play a game instead,” he suggests, eyes finding the bag of popcorn shared between them. “throw some popcorn at me, bro, let’s see if i can catch it with my mouth.” 

kangdae’s eyes were barely opening. after the various shenanigans and people he did and met with throughout the night, he could hardly pay much mind to the movie that was playing in front of the students. all he knew was that the actual horror of this film was lacking, and the fights were far and in between at this point.  

“huh?” no way nate was asking him a question, kangdae was even more lost than he was, “ i don’t know, i thought it was a zombie thingy?” he questioned, a yawn escaping his mouth, before perking up at the other’s suggestion. “ a game? sick!” okay okay, finally something that was more fun.  he quickly grabbed the bag, scooting furthering away from nate. he wanted to see if he could throw it into his mouth from a good distance. 

he squints shifting through the popcorn kernels before finally finding one that caught his standards, “okay, open wide dude!” he said, before flicking the single kernel towards nate’s face.

msufriday​:

last to leave

SHE WENT OVER THE LIMIT. friday knows this fully well, can tell by the way her body sways without permission, ground under her now bare feet swaying back and forth like a pendulum; has her arms stuck out like a flightless bird trying to balance on solid ground. too much. but it didn’t matter, well to be fair after the nth cup nothing hardly matters. though friday is at least lucky that she had a predesignated walking buddy. that at the end of the night, she has someone to cling to on the walk back to the dorms. a kind, forgiving, big-hearted-meaty-chested (ed? is that a word? it is right??) buddy who did not seem to mind in the slightest that she threw him into a tree. whew.

or. friday pauses to watch him walk a couple feet ahead rather than beside her (OR maybe YOU’RE slowing down, friday!!), her spelled platforms skipping alongside him. maybe he does. 

                                 well, that’s not really second male lead of him.

“kangdae!” she whines, tongue thick with childhood’s accent; one that so naturally slips out whenever the two are alone. “kANGDAYDAY!!” friday repeats, this time in nearly belligerent english, body hot despite the crisp night chill. she takes a minute to tug off the hoodie she had stolen prior, tying it off around her waist. by the time she was ready to yell a third time, the caped giant was already within breathing distance, eyes held with a certain concern that friday is either unable to read or bothered enough to process.

instead, she lifts onto her toes to slap her hands against his cheeks, tugging him down to eye level. “i have something to tell you.” friday speaks slow, trying her best to sound coherent despite the heaviness of her tongue. this is a serious matter after all. she’s been holding it in all night after all. 

“i—” she pauses, eyes flicking around to make sure the coast is clear. this is, after all, something that should only be heard by kangdae’s ears alone. and, suspicious of any eavesdropping shrubbery, her hands drop to reach for the sides of kangdae’s cape, flipping them over both of their heads to lock under her chin for a makeshift “privacy bubble”. yeah, because certainly nobody will be able to hear her under this.

“i,” friday meets his eyes, pupils blown and teeth sinking into her lower lip. confession of the century? it certainly feels like it. “i…stole all the licorice wands at the dessert table.”

                                                                                       / @msukangdae, @msuseojun

     he should have stopped friday from drinking twice her weight. kangdae REALLY should of. but when he was with friday chaos was expected, and she was a grown woman after all so kangdae had no real power when it came to limiting drinks with her.

           but then again he as usually the person holding friday’s hair when she was puking outside whatever club in busan they snuck into it. he grimaces at the thought but spares not a second more on it. because one! kangdae’s mind has settled into a pleasant haze, and scolding someone was never really his style, especially when he was feeling relaxed as he was.        he was just glad to be out of that stuffy dungeon, where it was damp and mucky, and his costume was more akin to a second skin than anything else, kangdae relished the cool autumn breeze, lifting his head up ( much like a dog lapping up the sun ), he couldn’t wait to peel off his costume off. after the various events he went through that night, it had become a bit uncomfortable. 

            his steps were light, almost lost in his own world, before he vaguely heard yelling ( what now? He was just thinking about his nice bed who was call—) ah there it was again, his little sister was never much of a yeller, or one for attention, but kangdae sort of felt like friday was the type of little ( wasn’t she older than him? kangdae doesn’t remember ) sister who would scream until she got what she wanted. 

       kangdae turns, before he’s abruptly pulled down to eye level, ( her lashes were too long, were they the fake ones again ? ) “what?” he questioned, squinting as his friend struggled to spit out her concern, was it something serious? like when she broke a heel after a victory party one time? 

    suddenly his cape is over his head, HUH? she’s taking too long and kangdae is losing interest, his mind wanders to fields, candy apples, pink li— “ that’s all?” he repeats, he’s pretty sure he ate all of the chocolate frogs at that exact table, he knows that look though if they wanted to make it back to the geum tower, he was gonna have to take desperate measures.

his hands are at her waist, and he throws her ( GENTLY ) over his shoulder ( she was always so light, but if he remembered she could get squirmy) . “ yeah yeah nonna, you lost walking privileges, “ he says brightly, before his free hand moves to grab his phone, where was SEOJUN? 

[031320]

msutaeyeon​:

— ride away with me 

      “ FIRSTLY , chess is a game of intellect and there’s nothing ‘ dweeby ’ about it… and secondly , everyone knows you’re the dweebiest. ” it was probably not as strong of an argument she’d usually make… but then again , the woman wasn’t here to make arguments when they could be doing something much better. 

       it was always so wondrous seeing the younger’s balance of innocent and yet risqué side , where his words seemed light and playful , yet the look he’d give the girl filled with something.. more. usually she’d shrug it off , laugh and push him away but taeyeon couldn’t do that tonight… maybe because she never actually wanted to push him away , always just bring him suffocatingly close. and right now , there was nothing stopping her. 

      thank merlin and all the stars that aligned for the pair choosing this particular activity where no eyes were on them and taeyeon was planning to take complete advantage of that… as you could see with the way she sat atop of him and with lips that refused to part for more than a few seconds. 

       hands sliding up to his perfectly made hair ( sorry about that , kangdae ) , the senior gently tugged as she felt his tongue against hers… she’s definitely going to need to reapply her lipstick because the walk of shame from a carriage ride wasn’t something either of them needed. not that she could care about that right now. 

       her hips slowly moved against his as their kiss deepened , it was rough and messy and very unlike all the other times the two shared moments like this —- but man did it feel like electricity coursing through her and charging her every move. THAT WAS UNTIL she had to realise that they were in fact on a very bumpy carriage ride and the violent shaking almost caused the older to lose her balance as a small yelp escaped her mouth and she wrapped her arms around the man to steady herself before laughing. turning to the threstal , she shook her head “ that was very rude of you. “

    It’s EASY for kangdae to lose himself in the kiss. as with everything thing he does, his one-track mind usually leaves little room beside the task at hand, ( and currently, the task at hand was bringing taeyeon closer, just a bit more, his hands gripping at her waist ). something, maybe it was the cold air, the heat that the older’s body brought as they kissed, but it was addicting. they’ve kissed before, they’ve done more than just kiss but tonight, it was different.

    his hair’s a mess, the slick back state transforming into strands of black hair sticking up where taeyeon had her fingers in, but kangdae couldn’t find himself to care. his tongue entangling with hers, his head felt dizzy with excitement ( maybe it was because they were so high up in the air? wasn’t like oxygen thinner?).

     the science lesson in kangdae’s mind is cut short when he felt taeyeon’s hips slide against his, a groan escaping his lips as own hips began to arch up against hers. the skintight costume that the older woman was wearing was doing nothing to stop the heat that was growing in his stomach. 

    “huh?” kangdae muttered, his breath warm against taeyeon’s,  his mind a haze as the kiss was broken. he began to nip at her neck, not bothering to pay much attention as the carriage shook, it was safe right? oh she was talking? to who? the threstal? kangdae frowns, pausing in his work on taeyeon’s neck, why wasn’t she paying attention to him? his hips jerk up roughly against taeyeon’s, urging her to return her attention towards him.   “tae, come on,,” kangdae groans, enjoying the friction and heat, but he wanted more, the hand on her waist moving lower, gripping her ass, “ finish what you started.”

[031320]

msuwendy​:

SHIN KANGDAE IS…DIFFICULT. not sure how to further expand on that, but to paint a picture: it’s like working the graveyard shift in retail with a playlist cursed to loop pharrell’s happy and something else vaguely grating on a happy beat. and before her is this egregiously dense mountain of a man with puppy dog eyes that can’t and won’t take a hint. 

              seriously, she’s like dropping hints that she doesn’t want him around.                      one time by actually telling him she doesn’t want him around.

but kangdae’s degree of thickheaded is severe—and wednesday supposes she can’t outright tell him off for doing nothing. he is, at his infuriating buoyant core, a good guy. and she has no reason to refute him otherwise. still, she wonders how she comes off to him—if it’s so much as a taking pity on an impudent child who’ve shut the world out as it feels like it is to her. whatever.

“you’re only one year older.” don’t patronize me mother fucker. words better conveyed through a scowl than anything. “but yeah, okay, fine, whatever.” she quickly tacks on, just in case this turns into a full out lecture (that’ll really harsh her vibe). 

“uh huh,” somehow, coming from someone like kangdae—she’s not surprised he wouldn’t know. “no—” though, valid, she’s heard that stupid fucking joke tons of times. “i was named after—” her mouth pulls into a thin line, eyes dulling momentarily. she remembers having this conversation with mom awhile back, but also—fuck her. “never mind what i was named after.” wednesday quickly dismisses, brow raising at the compliment but saying nothing of it. she’ll blame it on the night, the atmosphere, maybe the leotard is squeezing the blood out of his brain, whatever the fuck. he knows she hates that kind of thing.

“superman.” yes, i know who the fuck superman is! do i look like an idiot!? well. that’s kinda on you for assuming kangdae understands any sort of derision. “nice.” wednesday commentates dully, watching him hold up his cape like a child showing off. “it does fit you, i guess, all perky good guy and symbol of light or hope or whatever the saying goes.” about as fitting as wednesday addams, brat queen of the dark and unfeeling fits her.

         well, sort of. this wednesday can’t be unfeeling no matter how hard she tries.

“going in?” ah, the first quizzical look of the night. “where—” she barely catches sight of the sign overhead before kangdae is walking them in. oh, the maze. well—it wasn’t like she had anything else planned. but wednesday has never done anything in the interest of being easy. “yeah, but—don’t you have friends to go to these things with you?” her eyes lower to their hands, nose scrunching in slight disdain as she shakes his grip free. not so much against him as it is against the implication hand holding gives. 

“or unsuspecting wide eyed girls who’d cling and whine the whole way through thinking it’s cute—” BOO! she jumps at the sudden appearance of a passing ‘ghoul’, hand gripping onto the fabric of kangdae’s cape. there’s a brief flicker of surprise that passes wide eyes before dissolving into something less than impressed. teetering on vexation. partly at herself for being predicable but mostly at this whole insufferable setup. goddamn jump scares. 

                                                    “i fucking hate it here.”

    kangdae is aware that wednesday’s prickly. much like the thorny paths, he would have to go through to get to school when he was younger, yes for the most party kangdae would avoid the rather pointy parts, but occasionally he would get pricked by one. talking to wednesday was like that, most of the time he would let the biting words roll off his back, but sometimes her glares did sting.  never mind that! kangdae’s mother always instilled in him to be sweet as one could be, treat others as you would want to be treated. she may have acted sour but she still kept him around without kicking him in the balls, so that must have meant something.

   “ yeah i guess it’s only a year.” kangdae repeated, with a curt nod, as if only being made aware of their age difference.the idea of wednesday calling him oppa or sunbae almost made the geumseong chaser choke with laughter, that’s a sight that needed to be seen. one that could hardly be caught, as mokseong students usually spoke english to one another on campus, kangdae still preferred his native tongue though.“ you still have to call me oppa you know that? i mean go ahead speak informally though, i don’t really mind that part.” he never cared for being called oppa, being rather easy going but it’s fun to tease wednesday, even if a kick to the balls was an option at the end for him.

    kangdae tilts his head at the sudden interruption of her name origin. well NOW he needs to know. he couldn’t just not know why she was given that name. “ wednesday! don’t leave me hanging,” it’s easy for him to fall into dramatics, “that’s not fair you can’t just start a sentence and not explain!” sighing, “ listen! i’ll tell you what my name means, and you call me where you got yours!” he explains, hoping his hand up, his pinky extended towards the younger. “deal?”

    “ yes! It took me forever, i was worried it was going to be a waste of time, because i don’t know how many witches or wizards keep up with like superheroes you know?” kangdae explains, he didn’t grow up surrounded by the fully immersed wizarding world, comic books were a muggle thing that kangdae and his friends would read for hours some days. But he wasn’t sure about wizards reading comics, when he went to stay with his dad it was bare beside just spell books, which WAS BORING, to say the least. “ but i saw a ton of people dressed in superhero costumes, which makes sense since mokseong is usually down with muggle shit.”       kangdae hums, his eyes tore from wednesday and instead to the maze, he wondered if they would have some staff members running around in costumes, can you imagine professor aurora dressed as a zombie chasing students? “ i do. but you’re my friend too, so i don’t see the difference, “ he explains, giving the younger a rather carefree smile.      “ maybe i do—” his words are cut short by the sudden appearance of a ghoul, and kangdae automically holds his arm out in front of wednesday, before turning to see her tugging on his cape. “ what were you saying about scared girls clinging onto my cape?” the geumseong chaser teased, before laughing as they continued to walk through the maze.       his laughter is cut short, as as they continue through the maze, cobwebs that were hung across met kangdae’s face, and ended up all over his head  ( he’s sure the orgainzers didn’t think to do this to anyone, but not everyone was 6’3 unfortunately for kangdae) the young man gags, trying to get the cobwebs out of his mouth, ew gross. “wednesday, help me get them out, “ he cried, before leaning down in hopes the younger would pick some of it out.

( take a bite — jamie 

apple bobbing with @jamiemsu​

KANGDAE had lost his friends again. well not really, his habit of moving from group to group during festivals, parties, and other events had come to rear its ugly head, he never could really stay in one place, especially when there was so much to do! like the mirror maze, the carriage ride ( well, he was going to meet up with taeyeon later for that), or maybe even apple bobbing, though kangdae was a bit unsure of what exactly apple bobbing was. 

like why were so many people lining up for this shit? it was just dunking your head to grab an apple, would you take a bite out of it or? the chaser wasn’t sure, all he knew it was some white people shit that kangdae hadn’t heard of until he went to this school. 

but nonetheless, kangdae found himself hovering around the large group around the booth, his movements stalled until he noticed a familiar figure of the hwaseong’s keeper, “ jamie!” he called out, clunkily moving around the large group, and meeting her in the front of the line. “ yo how does this apple thingy work, like why is it so popular ??”

msutaeyeon​:

— ride away with me 

       every moment they spent together , taeyeon wondered why it was that this boy put up with her. she could be quiet , sometimes too quiet , she could be moody , her way to deal with feelings and emotions was not ideal and not to mention the baggage of her past that came with her. yet this boy looked at her and she felt like the most special girl in the world. she was difficult and she knew this , it was probably why none of her relationships ever lasted or the feelings she felt were never reciprocated. taeyeon at this point had made piece with taking whatever love and attention she’d get but knowing that her and lumi were the only ones going to end up together. 

       when their eye level was almost matched as he ducked down for her , taeyeon really couldn’t stop the wide smile that spread across her lips. he was annoyingly cute , but she wouldn’t have had it any other way. “ aw kangaji , that’s not true…. you’re always a dweeb. ” she chuckled playfully and gave a soft pat on his cheek. the senior did smile the most when she was with him. 

       carefully listening to his words , the senior nodded along as she patted the creature who clearly meant no harm , but their appearance and reputation lead them to often be shunned and her heart really broke at that. “ that’s true… they’re so often misunderstood and mistreated but all they want is what everyone wants… a little bit of love. ” she ended with a smile as the creature leaned into the girl’s touch , they were friends after all. “ yeah , if you’d like to. ”

      once they got on and the ride started , taeyeon’s grip around the other tightened just the slightest while they began to pick up speed and fly above while the sky below was covered with a thick layer of fog. “ flattery will get you nowhere. ” she further teased but soon enough , he was leaning in and their lips ( finally ) met. it was gentle , delicate… precious and taeyeon appreciated that , she did —- but right now , right now she needed more. 

     as the kiss broke off , a little too soon for her liking , the older was slightly smiling too as she looked up at him , but that didn’t last long before she crashed their lips together once again. only this time , it wasn’t sweet and soft… this time , there was a sense of deepened passion to it.  which is exactly why she had to break apart just for a second to position herself on top of him , her legs tucked on either sides of him as her hands were firmly placed on his neck to pull him closer into the kiss. 

    kangdae preens under the praise, leaning into taeyeon’s touch. obviously satisfied with the attention and touch that was given to him by the older,  “ hmm, nah i think you’re the dweeby one here nonna, aren’t you a member of the chess club?” he questions. 

he may not be the smartest person at the school, but kangdae thinks he knows taeyeon well enough, knows she elbows him when he says something stupid, he knows how her eyes harden with passionate on the quidditch team, he knows that when she speaks about the creature in front of her, she’s talking about herself. instead, he remains silent, watching her for a moment, something moves his chest, it always feels like there’s a mirror between them, something stopping kangdae from crossing to her side. “ can’t wait.”

“ i don’t know about that. flattery got me on this carriage ride with you didn’t it?” his smile’s innocent, joyful as a young boy when he hears the final school bell, always eager to see how far he can go. how far he could go with his mischievous tone and glint in his eyes.

ah. forget patience, it was never kangdae’s strong suit anyway. he dips his head down again, meeting taeyeon halfway as his palms cup her face, bringing her closer his lips fitting against hers once more, catching her bottom lip as he deepened the kiss, following the older woman’s sense of urgency. 

he leans his forehead against hers as they break apart, his eye lazily opening as he felt the weight of taeyeon’s body settle on his lap, a gust of laughter escapes him, “ careful,” he mutters, creakiness and rocky nature of the ride only increasing as it took off,  but before he could finish his sentence he’s pulled into another kiss, the pressure of taeyeon’s fingertips on his nape bringing a pleasant excitement through him.

his own hands press against the older woman’s waist, pulling her own body closer to his torso, his tongue impishly slipping itself against taeyeon’s mouth, persuading hers to join his.

msutaeyeon​:

​( are you lonely? ━ taeyeon

      she knew , she knew this place meant a lot to him and that’s why it meant a lot for her to be here… with him. it was the way his face lit up the whole time they were there that caused taeyeon to smile too , it was weird because she’d hardly ever be happy in someone else’s happiness and yet , here she was living his memories through him. 

       it was always so fascinating to hear stories about his time here , how he’d say he was free… she could’ve never imagined a life like that for herself. if she hadn’t ran away from home… if she was still there. taeyeon wouldn’t have even been herself anymore and thoughts like these used to be the cause of sleepless nights for too long. 

       snapped out of her thoughts , the older looks down at the seat being offered and she smiles before taking it , her legs dangling just as his dead and she swinging them with the wind. but when he spoke again , the swinging stopped and her breath was honestly a little taken away. she probably never would’ve gotten to his honesty , how words rolled off his tongue just as he thought them. the girl really had nothing she could say to that besides looking up at him with wide eyes. 

        the tension always got so thick around them and with this atmosphere , it was so easily to get caught up in it that she had to force herself out of it. nudging his shoulder away , she just laughed softly and shook her head. “ yah.. how many times have i told you not to say stuff like that.. ” his care and concern for her was something she couldn’t understand , never realized how people selflessly cared for one another so easily. “ —— and how do i take advantage of it , hmm? ”

     he wonders what would have happened if he stayed. If he wasn’t impulsive enough to climb out the window and set off in some country where he could barely speak the language, much less make it to his home oceans away. what would have happened if he had asked taeyeon to come with him? kangdae bites the inside of his cheek, there was no use in regretting, his grandfather always told him to never look back. who knows. maybe it was faith for them to reunite when they were older, a little wiser, just maybe.      “ow,” kangdae whines, rubbing his shoulder as she nudged him away, “ that hurt, have you been working out? i thought quidditch season was over? “ he teased, falling into dramatics easily. it’s so easy to poke fun at the older woman, at least when the goal was to bring a nice redness to taeyeon’s cheeks. always eager to see the woman beside him flustered.      “ why? does it make your heart flutter,”  a boyish grin takes over his face, “ have you fallen for me? I know i’m really handsome.”  kangdae’s caught off guard by taeyeon’s words, the air cracks, like lighting the tension is there again, his words caught in his throat, but he quickly recovers, letting out a ( nervous ) laugh.         “ you gotta take advantage of the great outdoors!” he quickly stands up ( ignoring the tension ), holding his arms out gesturing towards their surroundings, eyeing the lake with a new found interest, “ come on taeyeon, let’s go swimming. “ he exclaims, pulling off his shirt ( a bit slower, he hopes she’ll become aware he’s no longer the scrawny teenager she met those years ago, he’s matured in mostly physical ways than anything else) his sweatpants soon follows, leaving a heap on the dock.       before ( like most things ) he takes the plunge into the water, laughing as he’s enveloped by the cool liquid, he comes up after a few seconds, leaning against the edge of the dock.                   “ tae. are you gonna come in? the water’s REAL nice.”
