CHASE SUI WONDERS BY JONNY MARLOW FOR W MAGAZINE (2021)
Jennie Kim X BILLBOARD
truth be told, he had not thought of it that way but, now that she'd mentioned it, he couldn't help but notice his game idea wasn't as original as he'd thought and was in fact just a one-sided version of the beloved truth or dare game everyone definitely played as a teenager. fuck ! “ i guess it is. ” and he hated having to admit it. but it was too late, the game had been going on for long enough for him not to give up on it now, especially when he was able to use it for his own benefit like at that exact moment. “ mhm. ” he was almost finding one of those huge lit up arrows and pointing it to his head as she seemed to be thinking of a target. of course, spelling his own name would've worked but he'd always been fond of the theatrics. “ it's what the box says. you shouldn't disappoint the box, it could bring you back luck in the new year. we don't want that. ” he shook his head with fake concern, a teasing smile easily finding its way into his expression. “ if i say i do… ” he started, making sure to look deep into her eyes as the words came out. “ will you come find me when the countdown starts ? ”
somehow it feels like the stars have aligned for mila at this moment . if this was someone else , she would have asked to see that piece of paper to double check the dare , and yet she doesn't really want to question it as soon as the midnight kiss was brought up by him . after all , how could she when it's kendrick she would be kissing when the clock strikes twelve ? if anything , this is like a dream comes true , for that mila has been dreading the idea of not having someone to kiss on new year's eve . at the mention of bad luck , she lets out a gasp and quickly shakes her head . “ oh , you're so right . i feel like i've had my fair share of bad luck this year so no , we don't want that anymore . thank you , next . ” there's a soft smile gracing her features – for some reason she could feel her heart skips a beat when his gaze finds hers , taking a second to snap out of her delusion . “ wow , you could really hypnotize someone with those eyes , ” she blurts out , smiling sheepishly at him . “ how long until the countdown starts ? sorry , i didn't really catch that one . what were you saying again ? ”
“mmm,” head tilts, not entirely buying it. “doesn't really sound like you do,” head lolls toward her, leaning against the wall as they move upward another floor. only four left before they start their journey downward, unable to keep the smirk off of his face. he couldn't deny that half of the fun was watching an unsuspecting neighbor stuck on his little ride. “both,” he quips, unfazed by the opening and shutting of the doors on the next ( thankfully ) empty floor. “you ever just get bored of sitting in your apartment ? staring at your same four walls ? sometimes i just like to spice it up a little.” not most people's version of spice, he knows, but it was entertainment enough for him. “where are you going all dressed up miss mila ?”
even if she's doing this on purpose , mila couldn't help but feel restless . granted , she hasn't really meant to be this late , and yet thanks to a certain neighbor of hers , it makes her quick to realize that this is a bad idea after all . had she been on time , she could have avoided julian and his shenanigans with the elevator , or the risk of showing up almost an hour late to her date . eyes roll in annoyance at julian's words before she glances down at her phone , typing a quick text to someone . “ i said i appreciate the honesty , not that i support whatever this is you're doing . if anything , i'm against it . ” she lets out a sigh , head shaking slightly at the other . if her date doesn't go well this time , she might have to blame this one on julian . “ well , i'm sorry that your life is so boring . you ever consider maybe calling up a friend and doing real fun things together ? ” her attention shifts towards the door momentarily when it opens , thankful that they have reached yet another empty floor before it goes further up . “ maybe the next time you get bored and have nobody else to call , let me know . i'll help you out . ” despite the sarcastic undertones in her voice , mila actually means it , if it means she could keep him away from the elevator at critical times like this . “ not now though . unlike you , i go on fun dates when i get bored . you should give it a try sometimes . ”
leon chuckles, "i would've. if he was throwing a party," his words are playful, and his smile widens at her offer. "i won't ever say no to a few drinks. we can be party crashers. you know, crashing all the parties," he grins. it would be fun, he and emma showing up uninvited to five parties or something. the blond has always loved partying. it frees his brain from overthinking, something he's very good at. "i think kenny's throwing one. but that's about it. i don't know who else," he shrugs. being back in palmview for a month and he hasn't even caught up with all the people he's met over the last year. but he's glad that he and emma have been spending time together. he really likes her, she's a good friend. "are you gonna make any resolutions for the new year?"
it wouldn't be emma's first rodeo after all . she's been crashing parties since she was a teenager – people were often too busy getting lit to even care about it anyways , and it helps that everyone kinda knows everyone in this town . “ well , you're looking at a professional party crasher so fuck yeah , we can do that all night . ” as an avid party go - er , it's all the more reason to do it on new year's eve . she flashes a grin at leon , getting excited at the idea of them crashing parties together . at the question about new year's resolutions , emma couldn't help but let out a snicker , shoulders lifted in a casual shrug . “ i don't do that kind of shit , leon . i don't know . do you have any for the new year ? ” she returns the question to him , convinced that he might have a few on his list .
a snicker drops from her tongue, taking another sip of her wine ( is it even wine ? there's an umbrella attached to it ) as she forges offense over the matter. well, maybe she is a little offended but it's only because she's not receiving the attention she so cherishes. after all, drunk lana is far more high-maintenance than her usual, sober self. “ you ignored me, “ she accuses, bottom lip slightly extending in a pout as she motions over in the direction of her guy. “ and all for a him, “ another snicker drops, even though lana could've easily done the same ( probably even will at some point ). “ i was waiting for you, “ a half-lie, since she couldn't find her own prince phillip ( he's off somewhere with his friends too ).
the accusation causes emma to roll her eyes , albeit playfully . had she seen lana before the cute guy even got to her , she would have chosen her friend in a heartbeat . hell , even if she was already talking to him , she would rather ditch the guy and hang out with lana here instead , that much she could admit . “ one , that's impossible . i could never ignore you even if i tried , ” she tells the blonde , head nodding once . “ two , you should know a him has nothing on you . i always pick the pretty girl . ” she reaches for lana's hand and gives the back of it a soft kiss , followed by a shameless grin . “ and now that i'm right here , you have me for the rest of the night . promise . ” after all there is no reason for emma to go back to that guy , although she appreciates that he still comes back to give her a drink . too bad she would have to bid him goodbye , and once the guy makes his leave her attention quickly returns to the girl sitting next to her . “ well , he's gone . can i get a smile from the pretty girl now ? ” she pleads , taking a small sip of her drink .
serin’s laugh was soft, more of an exhale than a sound, but it carried enough weight to make her amusement clear. she tilted her head slightly, her dark hair catching the sunlight as she gave emma an appraising look. the flicker of mischief in the other woman’s gaze didn’t go unnoticed, and serin wasn’t about to let her have the upper hand. not yet, anyway. “admit it?” she echoed, her tone light but with an edge sharp enough to cut. her lips curved into a wry smile as she crossed her arms, the movement drawing attention to the delicate gold bracelet on her wrist. “emma, darling, if you were on my list, you’d know. i don’t do subtle.” she let her gaze linger on emma for a moment, the silence deliberate as if daring her to respond. when she did speak again, her voice was softer, almost teasing. “but i’ll admit, you’re making a strong case for being a permanent fixture.” serin’s fingers brushed against another candle, but she didn’t pick it up this time. instead, her attention remained fixed on emma, the faintest hint of a smirk playing on her lips. “takes one to know one, hmm?” she mused, her tone thoughtful, though her eyes sparkled with something closer to mischief. “well, if nothing else, you’ve certainly made this otherwise mundane little outing… tolerable.” at emma’s quip about serin appearing out of nowhere, she finally allowed a genuine smile to break through, small but real. she leaned in slightly, just enough to close the distance between them without being obvious, her voice dropping to something just above a whisper. “maybe you’re right. maybe i did hear you. or maybe, emma, you just have a way of drawing people in — whether you mean to or not.” she pulled back just enough to let her words settle, the enigmatic smile returning as she straightened. her eyes flicked briefly to the bustling market around them before returning to emma. “so, what now? do we pretend this is a coincidence and part ways again? or do we see where the day takes us?” her tone was casual, almost dismissive, but the subtle tilt of her head and the challenge in her eyes suggested she already knew which option she preferred. serin kaplan didn’t waste her time on people she didn’t find interesting, and emma, it seemed, had managed to pique her curiosity. for now, anyway.
emma couldn't help but laugh at the remark . see , she's conceited enough to know that she always leaves quite an impression when meeting someone , and yet not enough to think that they would want to be involved with her again . maybe it's a defense mechanism of some sort , but she's never been the type to hide her interest in someone , much less try to pretend like she's not interested in them at all . “ you don't do subtle , ” she repeats , purposely letting it trail for moment as her attention stays on serin . “ then what the fuck is this ? it's like you're trying to tell me something , but you don't really want to . am i on your list or am i not ? why are you making it so complicated ? ” she asks , words dripping with a hint of sarcasm . at the question , she hums softly to herself as she gives it a thought . surely , serin would have expected her to go for the latter . as she should , but a small part of her wonders how serin would react if she was to choose the former . wants to see if it would catch her off guard , whether she would try to change emma's mind now that she has suddenly gone off script . after all , where's the fun in being predictable , right ? maybe this is her plan all along , to keep things interesting between them , and emma just somehow walks right into it . once she finally makes up her mind , she leans closer to the girl , one corner of her mouth tugged into a smirk as she crosses her arms , mirroring serin's move earlier . “ well , since you said i might be on your tomorrow's list , i'm afraid we have to pretend that this is a coincidence and part ways , darling . i wouldn't want to ruin the original plan you have in mind for me . ” there's a teasing smile on her face , although this time it appears more provoking than usual , like she's trying to hit a nerve . “ do you have any particular place or timing you'd expect to run into me tomorrow ? what kind of outfit you'd picture me wearing , maybe ? let me know , serin . i'll make it easier for you . ” with that being said , she leans back with a cheeky grin , studying the expression on the girl's features .

this is a common occurrence for emma , especially when she couldn't get a friend to go with her to the drive - in . she manages to stop a car on her way , followed by the sweetest smile she could muster once their window's down . “ hey , you going to tidepool’s by any chance ? ” it doesn't matter if they are or not , but she figures she'd ask out of courtesy . “ i need a ride . you can just drop me there , or if you're not doing anything right now , we could go watch something together . ” it's a win - win situation . the movie wouldn't be as fun when you're watching alone and she needed someone with a car to go with . “ well , okay , it's fine if you're busy or whatever but a ride would be cool , yeah ? come on , help a girl out . ” there's a hopeful glint in her eyes , a poor attempt to at least get a free ride instead of calling an uber – emma could just make anything work when she gets there anyways .

national oyster day @ pearl's seafood bistro
sure , it was mila's suggestion in the first place . after all it's national oyster day or something and they have a buy one get one deal for the day , which seems too good to pass up now that they're here . it's when the oysters are finally served did she feel the sense of regret washing over her , a look of distaste evident on her features before she turns towards her company . “ have i ever told you that i've never had oysters before ? ” the question serves as an effect more than anything else , and her gaze flickers towards the delicacy again . “ they seem a little scary to me but uh , i thought i'll give them a try . ” mila lets her words trail , not so sure about it now that she's seen them up close like this – she doesn't even think it would get pass her throat . why would people eat something so terrifying ? “ you've had one of these before , right ? please tell me they actually taste good . they don't look like they do . ”

indoor ping pong @ heights community center
truthfully , gianna didn't think she would ever show up . she's not even a part of the seaglass heights community , nor did she often stop by the area , but somehow the idea piques her interest anyways . after all she's always been a sucker for a good game and ping pong is basically just tennis played over a table , so she decides it wouldn't hurt to try . if anything , this could totally be an ego boost if she manages to show off her skills here , and that's why she wastes no time volunteering for a ping pong match against someone else when asked . she could say she already saw this one coming - both the ball and her winning the game , she only needs one more round to seal the deal . “ come on , show me what you've got , ” she taunts , couldn't help the smirk on her face when she gets ready to serve . “ or should i go easy on you this time ? just say the word . ” truly , there's no going easy on somebody when it comes to competition , although this is just meant to be something casual .
at pearl's seafood bistro after closing with gianna yun … @amadouers
it had maybe been an hour since the restaurant closed, meaning this was a late dinner for both her and her companion. but viviènne had owed gigi a special dish that wasn't on the menu ― and likely wouldn't make it, not to pearl's menu at least ― and she was a woman of her word, no matter how late she'd have to keep the kitchen open. “ i know we said one dish but i have never really been a single course woman so… ” she clapped her hands together a single time, getting ready to explain all she had prepared for the other to try. “ i'm gonna start you with a yellowfin tuna tartar, avocado crema with coriander and plantain chips. our main is a salted crusted mediterranean dorade with glazed potatoes, cucumber salad and pil pil sauce. for dessert, blueberry panna cotta with vanilla ice cream and almonds. sound good ? ”
even if it's a tad bit late for dinner , gianna is excited to be here nonetheless . granted , vivienne probably wouldn't have enough time to entertain her if they were to do this during the restaurant's opening hours , and since it's vivienne who will be preparing the dish , gianna shouldn't really be picky about the timing or place . she appreciates the private setting though , makes it feel even more special than it already is . there's a hint of astonishment in her eyes as she listens to the explanation , impressed by the fact that vivienne ended up making a full course meal instead of a single dish . “ you really took surprise dish to the next level and i'm not complaining , ” she tells vivienne , a smile gracing her features . her gaze briefly flickers towards the meals in front of her . “ i take it these are not on pearl's menu ? they look really good . ten out of ten on the presentation . ” it's why gianna opts for fine dining , because while the taste is often the priority when it comes to food , first impression always matters . “ well , they better taste as good as they look , ” she says jokingly , followed by a soft chuckle .
bodies crash together in the centre of the dance - floor , frame swaying with little encouragement until hands are curving around her hips to stabilise her and she giggles in response. bronze , sparkling hues land on one of her closest friends and she impulsively pulls the other into a tight hug of a greeting , the frustration of being slammed into instantly fading. nell gives emma an unsteady twirl , showing off her outfit and how it cuddles curves effortlessly. she offers her a sip of her drink , already half - empty as some has spilled onto her chest in the collision. " now i'm all wet and sticky , ems. " she giggles childishly , the euphemism not missed by her and she throws a playful wink. " a drink , a dance and a kiss ? are you trying to take me home ? " she teases , but she's certainly up for it. " i accept your offer , no one else here is as interesting or as beautiful. "
it's clear that emma is already a tad bit tipsy at this point . she couldn't help but giggle at the remark , gaze momentarily drifts towards the stain on nell's chest as emma takes the drink from her . “ oops , my bad , ” she drawls , purposely letting the remaining liquid drips onto herself when she takes a sip , followed by a mischievous smile . “ well , i guess we're both wet and sticky now . ” emma couldn't let her friend get stuck in such uncomfortable state alone , at least not when the countdown's about to start soon . an eager nod follows and she laughs , moving closer to whisper to the girl . “ okay , gorgeous , i'm going to get us drinks and come back for a dance . stay here , alright ? ” with that being said , she disappears to the bar for a brief moment , two drinks in both hands when she finds her way back to nell . “ cheers to us baddies and happy fucking new year , ” she says , clinking her cup against nell's before taking a sip . it's when auld lang syne ( the new year's anthem , mariah carey's version ) starts playing did she squeal , could barely hide her excitement – that should serve as a cue or something . “ oh , now we're getting really close to midnight . are you fucking ready ? ”
starter: emma ( @amadouers ) location: shopping in coral cove
Marley hasn't felt her heart race like this for a while. It's not unusual when looking at a pretty girl, but this isn't the good kind of rapid heartbeat, though the fumbling of her shopping bags is just the same. It's been even longer since the last time she saw Emma (she'd argue not long enough) but she still makes Marley nervous to the point of turning on her heel and trying to go back in the opposite direction on sight. Unfortunately, someone had been right behind her, forehead bumping against his chest and loud swears as he storms off surely drawing Emma's attention to her. She picks her punnet of strawberries back up off the floor, refusing to turn around and check. "Shit..."
the idea of a girls trip to france excites emma to no end . the first thing that comes to her mind is how she's going to need new clothes for that particular occasion , which is how she wound up here at the shopping mall on her own , given that neither vivi or any of her girls are available to tag along . eyes wander around aimlessly , too caught up in her own little world before some other guy's loud swearing pulls her back into reality . emma turns to spare him a glance , and then her gaze falls on the girl who seems to be picking her things up from the floor . slowly approaching , she crouches down to reach for the last item , handing it towards the girl . it's when she finally gets a closer look did she realize that it's someone she knows , someone she hasn't seen in ages . “ holy shit , ” she gasps , a look of excitement taking over her features . “ where the hell have you been , loca ? ” as if she too hasn't disappeared almost five years ago .
