A STARTER FOR▸ HAEJIN. ( @catchcr )

A FAINT ‘FUCK’ MANAGED to escape their lips, the cigarette hanging loosely at the c o r n e r of jasper’s plush lips. hands fumbled around their pockets for a lighter, but the missing bump in their jeans seem to have caught them off guard. of course, they could only blame themselves — no better way to start the morning than without a good smoke. the blond stood around lazily until they spoke to the first person they saw within earshot. “ hey – d'you have a lighter on you by chance? i got no clue where mine is. trade you a cig for one. ”

◇── HOW HE’S HAD the misfortune of ending up in the presence of the other is baffling to haejin. their similarities began and ended with their profession (thank the heavens) leaving haejin with little motivation to fill jasper’s request - he didn’t particularly like him. ‘ you call yourself a wizard? ’ he inquires flatly, what use was a lighter anyway? the simplest of spells could conjure a flame strong enough to light their cancer stick. it takes everything not to roll his eyes as with a snap of his fingers he produces a spark, another snap and a flicker, a third snap and finally a flame that of which he offers to the other.

｡:゜☆｡･ﾟﾟ･｡. HE WAS SO ANNOYING. the most evil being to ever live!! the ju jak has nothing on him!! she stood there, crossing her arms. “you took my nintendo switch you demon!!” she yelled. “i just turned eighteen!! how are you a teaching assistant?? you’re stupid!! so stupid!! can’t even tell that i’m eighteen.”

◇── WHATEVER HAPPENED TO respecting authority? most days haejin ran on autopilot, these brats didn’t require that much thought to handle. did he confiscate unauthorized electronics? he could hardly remember. ‘ excuse me? are you asking for a detention? ’ though he hated issuing them, more unnecessary work. ‘ if you’re really eighteen you ought to know better than to be playing games in class. ’

━━ 𝐇𝐄 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐒𝐄 𝐅𝐋𝐄𝐄𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐌𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐒. her soft, rose-petal lips turned up in a grin. he smiled, half-bitten. her cheeks flushed as she bit down on her lips and walked off. it reminded him of the kind of fleeting glance that lied somewhere between I know what BEAST lurks behind that pretty face and what i wouldn’t give to be DEVOURED by it. she giggled as she twirled around to meet his gaze that followed her from the hallway door he held open. he winked and waves his hand to her as the door swung shut behind him. his steps were confident, prideful of the body he carried as he sauntered into the matchmaker’s classroom, even if he was hopelessly lost.

he noticed her magic first, soft and warm as it glowed off her fingertips with a golden spark. he envied little things like that, an INNOCENT kind of magic that didn’t burn his body or cut claw marks into his palms. his brow quirked in surprise, quickly smoothed into his usual smug half-grin. ❝ HARA━ and friend, ❞ he added smoothly, pulling up a chair to join them. ❝ just the girl i was thinking of. ❞ if his gaze flickered suggestively, he didn’t linger on it. ACTUALLY, he had been reliving of SEVERAL of his past late night college jaunts, but figured he could reasonably bundle her with the other on his walk down memory lane. ❝ are you busy? i’m in need of some direction. ❞

♡━━ HE WAS NO stranger. if he was, she might easily melt under that grin and sparkling gaze. this was well tread territory, all too familiar. she struggled to retain that same cheery expression but she was a professional. heartbreak was par for the course and something she, of all people, knew how to get over. at least she liked to think she did, despite the twinge in her chest and somersaulting stomach. her smile falters before she can catch herself, forcing her to avert her attention to her notebook.

she’d nearly forgotten she was in the company of another. someone other than seojin. the world disappeared around him, it always did. she couldn’t decide whether he were a blinding light or a black hole. regardless her eyes always found him and him alone when they were near each other. ‘ really? ’ she tried her best to sound skeptical rather than hopeful, desperation wasn’t very becoming. ‘ not at all. ’ she winced at her response. idiot. an apologetic glance is shot at the other across from her, hopeful they’d forgive her. stupid, stupid, stupid. ‘ how can i help you? ’

— he could have cried. truly — he could have. in fact, if it weren’t for the way the stranger’s eyes seemed to follow them until they were completely out of sight, he most likely would have. he wasn’t equipped to put up with such high level stress situations. because really, facing fire breathing dragons ?? hunting for devilish pixies and dangerous poltergeists ?? hell, that was considered easy in kit’s books. but put before him an angry stranger, and one that was speaking in fast korean past a first grader’s knowledge at that ?? well. it was to no surprise that the first thing he did once they rounded a corner was pull hara into as tight of a hug as he could muster. by that point, his legs were already a closer consistency to jelly, and he’d cooled down to somewhat of a cold sweat, but he had escaped, alive and well, and it was all thanks to the other. ( once again, not that anyone was surprised. ) ❝ THANK YOU. ❞

— wrapping both arms around her and clinging on even as he ate nearly a mouthful of her hair, it was worth it to just bask in the freedom of such a quiet world !! no yelling old men, no complicated korean dialects. just him, hara, and the idealistic falling of fluffy snowflakes around them as her voice was muffled into his chest. perfect— it was absolutely perfect. ❝ hara … i almost died. ❞

♡━━ HIS SCENT HAD become familiar, like home. she welcomed the embrace though kit didn’t leave her much room to return the hug. instead, she laughed into his chest, the heat radiating from his body providing some much needed warmth to her freezing and blushed features. she pulled back, struggling to squirm free of kit’s long arms. ‘ you did not. ’ the touch of amusement coloring her features only brightened at the sight of his goofy, dramatization of the whole ordeal.

‘ see what happens when you go wandering off on your own? what in the world happened, ’ she huffed though both her and kit knew she wasn’t in the least bit annoyed, concerned, yes. annoyed? never. ‘ better stay away from that guy, bit on the crazy side. pretty infamous around here, actually. ’ or perhaps he was just another old wives tale. nevertheless, better safe than sorry. she breathed out, entirely unsatisfied with the fact she could almost see her own breath. ‘ now can we please go find somewhere to keep warm. ’

｡:゜☆｡･ﾟﾟ･｡. THE STARS ALWAYS MADE the most sense to her, more so than other magis and humans. people were complex, coming in different variety of emotions and thoughts. she tried her best to listen and she was the best listener. the only time she feels comfortable in speaking so openly, is when she does her readings. maybe that’s why she’s always admired hara and her ability to be able to make so many friends and talk to so many different people.

she watched as hara does what she does best. watching as she scribbled down little anecdotes, not knowing what the specifics were but she thought it was so inspiring. “oh, no worries!! not a big deal at all.” she smiled gently as she played with her deck of cards. “o-oh?? really?? i-i don’t know what i did or what that means, but thank you!!”

♡━━ IT NEVER ONCE occurred to her how odd it may be to drag (practically) strangers around at her will. in many ways she was entirely too unassuming. though she’d yet for anyone to take advantage of such naivety (yet) leaving her unchecked and, in a sense, wild. at the very least today she’d picked a beloved senior (even if sera didn’t know quite how much hara admired her) - thrilled that the other had even agreed to go out with her.

‘ don’t thank me! ’ hara insisted, gaze trailing from face to cards. stating the obvious didn’t deserve gratitude, from her perspective. the slightly flustered smile wavered as she continued focusing on the other’s cards. of course, divination fascinated her - though she’d dabbled in the arts the thought of knowing her own future terrified more than excited. ‘ is it always accurate? ’ a stupid question coming from a matchmaker, she supposed she should know.

IT IS WHAT IT IS ━ and sometimes, hanbin can’t HELP the fact that one second his pen is tracing the outline of some RIDICULOUS essay he’s supposed to write ( key words: supposed to ) and the next, there’s a hand around his wrist that drags him over with little force, because he’s always had a soft spot for hara and her ENDEAVORS so it’s not like he’s going to deny the distraction anyways. school work can wait, especially when it’s someone that he actually doesn’t MIND. she gets lost in her own world more often than not and surprisingly enough ━ patience never comes to him so easily ━ he waits for her.

he grins easily, fingers brushing over the spine of her book though he doesn’t dare open it up ━ more so because he’s TERRIFIED of what he’ll find in there. probably names and more names he can’t and won’t pronounce. “ you’re saying that like i don’t spend my ENTIRE day being cute, ” his reply is automatic, just waiting on the tip of his tongue for the reaction he knows she’ll give. “ don’t you get bored of anaylsing people? ”

♡━━ AN ABRUPT GIGGLE erupted from her lips, entirely sincere. lately she’d found herself laughing out of politeness, too caught up in filling the silences with something less awkward and uncomfortable. it felt nice to be transparent for once, her reactions genuine. there was never anything to prove with hanbin. she never had to be anything but herself, no hurdles to jump or script to follow.

self-consciousness was a funny thing - how it only ever seemed to manifest at the worst of times with the oddest selection of people. her cheery, unapologetic exterior might often be mistaken as the home of someone who didn’t care. hara, however, cared quite a bit - much more than what one might consider healthy. it was only in moments such as this, where she felt at complete ease, that she could acknowledge the tightness of her posture and practiced smile she’d grown so accustomed to. she melted with that giggle, making note of just how thankful she was to have a trustworthy set of friends.

‘ you’re right, my mistake. ’ instinctively sticking her tongue out at the other - though she couldn’t, in good heart, disagree. or perhaps that was her rose-tinted glasses speaking. ‘ never! ’ she gasped, hands automatically finding her notebook to cradle against her chest. ‘ it’s much more personal and meaningful to find matches through observation. i want people to know i really care - because i do. ’ a coy grin ghosted her lips, the kind of expression she’d only ever reveal to him. ‘ plus - it doesn’t hurt knowing the gossip on everyone. ’

◇── IT SHOULDN’T HAVE taken as long as it did for haejin to realize he wasn’t alone. his brow twitched with annoyance upon the realization, glasses sliding off nose to hit the table with a dramatic clatter. he rose slowly, amazed the student had yet to acknowledge his presence - amazed, and irritated.

‘ tch. ’ he clicked, gliding across the classroom to stand forebodingly over the student. ‘ lecture ended half an hour ago. ’ he stated, arms crossed as he tilted his face into her field of view. ‘ are you even old enough to be a student here? ’ @heavensecnt

◇── THE BUNDLE OF student papers nestled firmly in is sleek leather bag weighed heavy on both his shoulder and his mind. grading papers felt more like a punishment than a responsibility, which he supposed was the reason the professor had entrusted the duty onto him whatever chance he got. he had half a mind to think the old man couldn’t bear reprimanding these snot nosed brats, shying from use of harsh criticism that came secondhand to the warlock. not that he particularly enjoyed crushing dreams, he frankly couldn’t care less. besides, he’d happily take interacting with students on paper alone rather than having to closely instruct as the old professor swore by.

so his relationship with students had always been strained, strictly business as it should. for months he refused conversation, refused questions, refused office hours in favor of writing study guides and assigning additional homework to keep the kids busy. that is until the headmaster reprimanded him for such actions, forcing a hodgepodge study group onto him that he’d learned to... tolerate. it was for this reason alone he took notice small first year surrounded by an unsavory crowd he found unfamiliar. it wasn’t his business or job but he found himself approaching the group nonetheless, shooting a pointed glare towards the collection of warlocks he’d decidedly labelled as degenerates.

‘ loitering in the hallway during instruction is punishable by manual labor. would you lot like to be responsible for cleaning out the animal stables for the next week? ’ haejin delivered the line flatly, he had no intent of following through with his threat though he also highly doubted he’d have to. he turned to joy, features barely softening though the crinkle between his brows relaxed enough to indicate friendliness. ‘ joy. i expect better of you than to be wandering the halls during class time. ’ he shot another icy glance towards the lingering before continuing on his way, pause - ‘ joy, come on now. we need to talk ’ @enigmvs

♡━━ THERE WAS NO greater peace in the world than her pen gliding across the pages of her most beloved notebook, that is her matchmaking journal, as she recorded her observations for the day. it was uncommon to be so methodically thorough, empirical knowledge was hardly necessary for magi matchmaking when divination and other methods existed (requiring much less analytical effort on her part). nevertheless, hara had always preferred a hands on approach with most things, matchmaking being no exception. nothing felt more satisfying than to physically hold her life’s work and passion in her hands.

she stared lovingly at the swirling pages of notes, dreamily connecting one bachelor with another in her mind with a soft sigh, nearly forgetting she was in the presence of another. someone she’d gone out of her way to force out with her. ‘ sorry, beautiful! ’ she snapped the book shut with a snap of her fingers. she always used her magic for the most useless things. ‘ you just did the cutest little thing, like so transparent of your character! i had to write it down for reference. ’

♡━━ ‘ PROMISE YOU WON’T be mad? ’ the girl fidgets as she clutches the neatly wrapped box to her body, small noises emit from the content of the present. ‘ well i guess the cats already out of the bag, get it? ’ a giggle as she slides the top off to reveal a calico kitten. ‘ he just reminded me of you!! can you keep him? ’

❪ * i. 대화 ; — open starter ! ❫

— panic coloured his features nearly six ways to sunday as the person in front of him ranted on. stuck on the outskirts of haneul, where the residents were more human than magi, there was no way to activate even a quick translating charm as he was hit with verbal barrage after barrage for something he still couldn’t seem to find the answer for — hell, he couldn’t even understand what he was being yelled at over in the first place. with the stranger’s korean dipping into a dialect he could barely decipher, and a speed at which his brain just wasn’t equipped to handle, he was left with making apologetic, hopefully soothing gestures as he shot a quick one up to the gods in hopes that someone could step in to help. ❝ hey— hey, ‘scuse me, can you, slowly please— i’m sorry ?? ❞ but with his nerves frayed and his words tripping over themselves worse than ever, nothing seemed to be getting across.

♡━━ IT SHOULDN’T BE this hard to find a giant, yet it’d been almost hours (in reality, minutes) since hara had lost sight of that familiar tower always at her side. hara didn’t take kindly to winter and wished nothing more than to be in the warm safety of a nearby cafe or restaurant, which she just couldn’t do until locating her lost puppy.

of course she found him in the last place she’d think to look, which if she’d been in any right mind would have been the first place she’d look. the events unfolding nearly amused her enough to hang back and watch, maybe if she didn’t have such a nagging conscious and urgency to get inside.

in an instant she’s at his side, arm looping through the other’s tightly as she smiled cheekily at the blabbering stranger. ‘ i’ve been looking everywhere for you. ’ she spoke through gritted teeth as she maintained her grin, urging kit to begin inching away. ‘ nice seeing you, sir! ’ she nodded towards the man before yanking kit with all her might down the street. ‘ what a lucky day for you! meeting the town lunatic all on your own. ’
