jet shoves his lighter back into his pocket and takes a long drag of the cigarette between his lips, letting her statement hang in the air for a moment like the smoke he exhales. “ because we came to the same place for a smoke break ? pretty weak evidence. ”

❝ maybe if you weren't lurking in every corner i glance at, i'd believe you. ❞ huffs around the retort, petulant in the specialized way he brings out. resolves melts with a drag of her own, slinking back against the wall. ❝ are you driving today or just haunting the tracks? ❞

𝒞hapter one …

winding up alone in the hole-in-the-wall aquarium isn't an exact indicator of social ineptitude, though there's little debate on how those stats pan out. it's a relief, actually, being spared the inane chatter of her co-workers, all about pop culture she's behind on and trends she can't keep up with ⎯ the coat of sweat on her palms still feels fresh, even when she rubs them dry on her jeans. she doesn't part her lips to make a sound until she's well and truly by herself, crouching down in front of a small tank to peer through the glass. happiness is immediate, almost foreign to a woman on the clock, but she can't help the grin breaking across her features. “how are you so beautiful? are you even real?” she pokes at the glass, soft and harmless. the baby octopus inside doesn't acknowledge her even a bit, and her heart swells for it. “wahhh... i've been waiting to come see you all day! oh, gosh, i need to calm down. calm, calm, calm.” she shakes her head a little, tendrils of hair falling into her eyes as her hand pinches in front of her, as if she can physically vacuum the nerves out of her. in the end, she giggles again, folding her arms over her knees to watch the octopus. the quiet expands around her, just a few seconds required to dim her smile. she thinks, like clockwork, of jiayi's smile. of how easily her voice melded with the others', the pinnacle of belonging. five steps apart the entire day and yet they may as well have existed on separate oceans. “oh, man,” she exhales, blowing air through her lips as she closes her eyes and rests her forehead against the cool glass. “talk about a wasted opportunity...”

through the static noise of the aquarium, a familiar voice filters through. soft words of praise filter through the air, and she can't help but be curious about who has managed to grasp the other's attention so well. intrigue carries her closer, quiet footsteps until she finally has eyes on saerom, cooing from the other side of a tank at the blob of tentacles it holds. consider her herself thoroughly entertained when the other's attempts to physically pull the nerves from herself seems to have a visible effect. whatever magnetic force connects them urges her to get a better look, carrying her to kneel down next to saerom just as her head meets the glass. ❝ saerom, ❞ name leaves her in a cool hum, a greeting and the start of a question. ❝ are you waiting to meet someone, or is the octopus your lunch date of the day? ❞

guilt is a worm in her ear that's quick to die ⎯ it all but disintegrates between one roll of the battery and the next. eyes flutter shut in the brief grapple for zen ( she should've never started dodging her therapist ) before she reaches into her fanny pack for a replacement. “don't even think about dying down here. you're the experienced one, remember?” she pops the battery back in and flicks the light on, having the decency and forethought to shine it up and to the left before it can beam directly in trinity's face. “i'll keep the light. you navigate.”

enbloom

trinity silently thanks whatever is willing to listen for the back-up pack, puffing out the world's loudest sigh of relief when a beam of light illuminates their path. one hand to her chest, one hand to pat rosa's shoulder. ❝ you're literally my biggest hero. ❞ eyes blink to adjust to the new lighting, and she hopes the way she guesses which direction to go isn't obvious. ❝ okay. exit's this way. ❞ hand slides down, two fingers hooking around the waistline of rosalie's waistbag, tugging her along like they're connected with a leash. ❝ we'll be out in no time, right? ❞

reaction splits two ways: vast majority of him is annoyed by her response, but there's an undeniable curl in his stomach that loves a competent woman. he head drops back with a groan as she pulls him along, though he offers no real resistance. “the easy way in looks like we're going to be keeping a crematorium in business this weekend. are you sure there's nothing else you'd like to do with your time? nothing at all?”

enbloom

❝ your faith in me is inspiring, truly. ❞ goeun hums, no real bite to her tone. she's too busy with a giddy feeling that just won't leave – the impending rush calling her name twice as loud. she looks over her should at him, brows raised. ❝ oh? is there something else you'd rather be doing with me? ❞ accusatory and teasing, perfectly crafted to poke all of his buttons. ❝ do tell. ❞

❝ are we gonna talk about that, or— ❞ sentence trails off, cut short by the way he has to shoulder check everyone in passing to catch up with the person ahead of him. ❝ why did you kiss me? ❞
