considering i share mutuals across blogs,ย if you saw this post on vidya already donโt look at me.ย ย but tl;dr going to move han-seokย my multi. ย mutuals are free to follow, ย but i am a little bit more selective on my multi. ย i will be trying to move any active threads over to continue, ย but if i lose some feel free to toss them my way if youโre waiting on a reply !
beads of perspiration collected at the base of his neck,ย and han-seok felt his whole body shudder with the force of his heart battering against his ribs. ย the bright white walls of the maze reminded him of a hospital,ย the last place he had been before the city had suddenly becomeย ย desolate and barren. ย it was an oddly sterile feeling for a canvas that would be splattered inย ย ugly splotches of redย ย once the ticking timer ran out.ย ย like an animal on the prowl,ย his eyes darted to his left to follow the sound of approaching footsteps. ย in the shadows,ย he had foundย ย a temporary safe haven,ย ย as far from the mouth of the maze as he could get. ย the taggers lurked near the exits, patrolling close enough to make their break for it once they relinquished their burden onto another player. ย the rules of the game were simple enough:ย ย exit the maze before the timer ran out andย ย avoid being โit.โย ย ย
a long shadow loomed around the corner before the figure attached to its base followed. ย his body ached as he pushed himself off the wall,ย pain radiating from the side where the bullet had grazed against his skin. ย against all odds,ย flashes of his brothers face invaded his line of sight and for a brief secondย ย all han-seok saw was red. ย fuelled by his re-ignited rage,ย he mustered enough strength to turn to the entrance of the dead end. ย holding the revolver out at arms length,ย he bristled at the familiar face of the man. ย โ ย of course, ย โ ย he spat in english,ย a bitter laugh following. ย of all people to find him inย ย a fucked up version of panโs labyrinth,ย ย of courseย ย it would be none other than vincenzo cassano. ย the same man who had already been haunting him back in their regular world.ย ย a world that he could now say had more of a semblance of normalcy than whateverย ย sick experimentย ย they were part of now. ย ย
โ ย if youโre looking for someone to tag,ย i donโt know if iโm worth the hassle. ย plenty of targets thatย ย wonโt put up a fight,ย mr. cassano. ย โ ย even in his vulnerable position,ย his arrogance didnโt seem to budge. ย instead,ย he flicked the barrel of the gun in aย ย shooย ย motion. ย โ ย move along now,ย weโre both trying to get out of here alive,ย no ? ย โ ย with a pointed look,ย he clicked the trigger into position. ย a weak threat,ย ย but a threat nonetheless.
in his ivory tower he sits, ย while the world around him burns. ย jang han-seok is known by the media as theย ย dashing, ย young, ย ceo of babel group. ย the company delves in all things scientific, ย with branches in the chemical, ย pharmaceutical, ย and biological sectors. ย as a multimillion dollar corporation, ย they hold influence in the city crawling with crime. ย but everyone has their secrets, ย and babel group is no different. ย for years, ย the organization had swept their crimes under the rug. ย getting rid of those who got in their way, ย tampering with evidence shown in court lawsuits, ย and silencing everyone around them with bribes and blackmail. ย when han-seok had taken the title of chairman from his father two years ago, ย he had begun to steer the company in a different direction. ย while his father dabbled in everything besides the supernatural, ย han-seok had other intentions. ย jang han-seok wanted to harness the very thing that made superheroes just that ย โ ย super.
ย itโs ย charming,ย ย ย ย the ย way ย that ย fate ย plays ย its ย hand ย and ย she ย still ย finds ย herself ย within ย a ย game ย of ย chaosย ย ย ย โฆย ย ย ย without ย ever ย truly ย trying.ย ย ย ย sersi ย goes ย about ย her ย business,ย ย ย ย already ย late ย for ย work ย but ย still ย with ย coffee ย in ย handย ย ย ย ;ย ย ย ย itโs ย clear ย where ย her ย priorities ย are ย informed ย that ย morning.ย ย ย ย she ย hopes ย for ย no ย further ย distractions,ย ย ย ย no ย behemoth ย that ย rises ย up ย from ย cobblestone ย to ย swallow ย up ย better ย intentions,ย ย ย ย but ย it ย is ย not ย a ย monster ย but ย a ย man ย that ย causes ย her ย unending ย turmoil.
he ย is ย quick ย to ย walk ย besides ย her,ย ย ย ย ending ย far ย too ย close ย before ย his ย arm ย slings ย across ย her ย shoulders ย and ย she ย is ย hopelessly ย huddled ย against ย his ย side.ย ย ย ย the ย offense ย is ย not ย found ย in ย the ย gesture,ย ย ย ย however ย unwelcome ย and ย bold ย it ย may ย be,ย ย ย ย but ย the ย fact ย that ย a ย small ย spill ย of ย coffee ย sloshes ย through ย the ย hole ย and ย spill ย out ย on ย the ย ground.ย ย ย ย โย ย ย ย donโt ย make ย eye ย contact ย !ย ย ย ย โย ย ย ย he ย urges,ย ย ย ย jolsting ย sersi ย further ย as ย she ย tries ย to ย look ย over ย her ย shoulder ย at ย what ย creates ย such ย havoc.ย ย ย
โย ย ย ย uhย ย ย ย โฆย ย ย ย with ย you ย orย ย ย ย ?ย ย ย ย โย ย ย ย how ย tender ย is ย she ย that ย she ย doesnโt ย see ย delinquency ย but ย only ย need,ย ย ย ย some ย circumstance ย that ย causes ย @cheirman ย to ย speak ย in ย hushed ย whispers ย whilst ย huddled ย against ย her.ย ย ย ย โย ย ย ย you ย pull ย me ย one ย more ย time ย and ย youโre ย going ย to ย owe ย me ย another ย coffee.ย ย ย ย โ
his trip to london had honest beginnings. ย or as honest as a businessman like himself could be. ย the plan had been to attend the annual conference with his lead scientist who would give a talk about theย ย leaps and boundsย ย his company had made in the science sector since his fatherโs death. ย they had agreed that informing the world about their proposed projectย ย to study and harnessย ย the abilities of super powered individuals would be too jarring for the foreign crowd. ย as a new chairman,ย han-seok had yet to win their trust. ย so they kept their talk strictly business. ย no where in their plan had they accounted for han-seok staking out a pair of london's newest rumoured vigilantes. ย something he quickly learned wasย ย a bad idea. ย while american superheroes wereย ย too caught up in themselvesย ย to notice their surroundings,ย the heroes overseas were much too observant to dismiss the man trailing behind them for the better half of the day.
in a foreign city,ย han-seok lacked the familiarity of the weaving streets to make a run for it.ย ย so with grumbling men on his tail,ย he dove head first intoย ย the busiest intersectionย ย he could find. ย when heโd marked his target,ย he prayed that his easy demeanour would save him from beingย ย punched square in the face. ย โ ย why would i meanย ย with me ? ย โ ย despite the severity of his situation,ย the womanโs question took him off guard,ย slowing him in his hurried pace. ย the irritated furrow of his brows quickly melted away with a laugh,ย as his mask of charisma fell neatly back into place. ย โ ย donโt tell me i look likeย ย medusaย ย to you. ย โ
he nodded enthusiastically,ย offering her an innocent smile in return. ย โ ย i owe youย ย an entire dinner and moreย ย if you help me out here. ย โ ย thereโs a pleading look in his dark eyes as he spoke.ย ย as he steered them around the next corner,ย he was far more cognisant of her coffee than earlier. ย han-seokโs words were fast,ย and the lies rolled off his tongue with unnerving ease. ย โ ย loan sharks. ย long story short,ย moved here recently and was strapped for cash. ย made someย ย poor choicesย ย and i owe these guys money i donโt exactly have just yet. ย might be asking a stranger for a lot,ย but you donโt happen to know anywhere we could lose them ? ย โย ย he paused and sharply inhaled,ย giving her his best doe eyes. ย โ ย please. ย pinky promise iโll get you coffeeย ย a.s.a.p. ย โ
for anyone waiting on im / discord replies please bear with me,ย she going through major brain fog rn so sometimes i can pump out replies and other times im just head empty monkey clapping cymbals together
for the record,ย ย han-seok cannot cookย ย and was never taught how to.ย ย as the son of a wealthy chairman,ย ย he had access to nannies and babysitters whenever him or his mother pleased.ย ย even now,ย he hires chefs to cook for him or orders in/out food.
