decadence, glamour and beautiful people in a single venue. hyun’s hands are the only ones who can craft extravaganza of such magnitude. his wicked touch is noticeable in every detail. the hwangs receive invitations as social tradition, and family obligation, dictates. each of them decide on contrasting times to leave for the party. minwoo, an early bird, is not drawn to excess and his sober outfit pick reflects it. while he loves the spotlight on him, it is different when he is required to veil his true self behind a mask. the need to put on airs emerges from his whole character, his last name. there is no point in anonymous trivialities.
the buzz inside his breast pocket is unexpected. plenty of the guests attending have his number, yet they are all drowning in chaos. the outside world is now eclipsed by raw pleasure. it is ara the one that still remembers him beyond debauchery. she possesses sufficient experience to identify him among the crowd, but her message results in surprise. he is unsure about the manner in which he should approach her, especially after their last conversation. minwoo’s silver tongue failed the moment of the revelation. however, for the middle song sister to address him in a casual way, it must correspond to a good sign.
her name on his phone screen is peculiar, the outcome of an inside joke between two good friends. long ago, his knowledge about batman was average, involving movies and action figures. plus, the laughable relationship between the superhero and their own species. then, ara decided to instruct him on his alter ego. according to her deliberate research, bruce wayne and hwang minwoo shared a few traits: rich and stoic. the girl made him sit through enough works of fiction until he accepted the comparison. ara also found a complement to his newly assigned code name, which she accompanied with the cat emoji.
minwoo abandons his glass and texts back using the same tone, in hopes that the informality continues. his question is essential for the search.
[ kkt → selina kyle 🐈 ] i don’t see the problem with it
[ kkt → selina kyle 🐈 ] what color are you wearing?
the sky lacks in stars tonight, looking impossibly endless. a few clouds scattered about decorate it, their usual whiteish color now a midnight blue. ever since she’d been little, ara’s longed to be able to reach them—to fly away from the confinement she still calls home, like a migrating bird. maybe that’s why it’s become habit for her to walk the roofs, constantly looking for a place higher up. whenever she’s in search for peace of mind, or simply in need of a bit of clarity, she’s found there.
her phone’s buzzing in the clutch she’d been carrying. she’s pleasantly surprised to see the name on the screen, absentmindedly wondering what he’s doing on his phone instead of enjoying the party. then again—she’s one to talk. she’s atop the roof’s ledge, picking up the ends of her dress in one hand to twirl around carelessly, her phone in the other hand typing in a reply.
( kkt ⇝ bruce wayne 🦇 ) hwang minwoo, oblivious?
( kkt ⇝ bruce wayne 🦇 ) it’s more likely than you think!
she’s smiling. though it’s in reference to his disinterest in color, her comment hints at something more. but after a decade of tirelessly pining, it’s nice to be able to joke about it without feeling like it’s the end of the world. it’d taken a while before she’d been able to reach this point, but it’s pleasant. freeing. she hadn’t realized how much it’d burdened her; like a pressing weight on her shoulders. even in the many days where they’d been apart, she’d been full of anger and regret. in comparison, not feeling much of anything is a relief.
( kkt ⇝ bruce wayne 🦇 ) i’d tell you to look around and guess but that’d be a bit unfair considering i’m outside now
( kkt ⇝ bruce wayne 🦇 ) it’s champagne-colored but trust me i look way better than how that tastes 😤
