{` when plans fall through for the day, jonghyun finds himself with little to do but sit in a large, street-side restaurant tent and inhale the scent of fried chicken while sipping at an icy bottle of soju. the alcohol, as always, burns on the swallow but he enjoys it nevertheless, eyes flicking over the other patrons sitting at their own little tables with cups to ward away the autumn chill in the air. there’s something inherently nice about it that brings a smile to his lips that isn’t all the pleasant buzz of soju in his bloodstream.} two orders of chicken, thanks. {` grins, watching every table fill up the longer the scent wafts into the air, and fully expectant of a great lunch to accompany the bottles beginning to line the table.}

{` stares at the sight before him with some measure of curiosity, having avoided stepping inside the paper parcel building for at least a month thus far. as always, the people—or dolls—walking around amaze him in some little way that shows in his expression as he taps his registry papers against his thigh and waits for the call that says the technicians are done maintaining sooyeon. but it’s barely been ten minutes and so he takes the opportunity to wander around the complex, taking a sip out of the soda in his free hand while examining the meticulously clean hallways. soon enough, he steps out onto a veranda and finds himself wowed by the garden tucked into the side of the building like a getaway from the city beyond.} — {` quietly, he takes a seat on a nearby bench and stretches his legs out before him, content to sit there and just take a breath of the fresh autumn air.}

{` the dangers of living in the city are no stranger to jonghyun. no, it was honestly something he’d accepted from the day he’d chosen to live there—the possibility of getting ran over as he crossed the street, or robbed on his way home from the club. well, maybe he hadn’t been prepared for the pain. he barely registers the presence of the bicycle courier speeding past him until the bike clips his leg and the pure heat of pain shoots straight up from his calf.} fuck. {` a glance down reveals the beginnings of blood seeping through his pants leg in the orange glow of sunset. with a sigh, he shifts his weight to his other leg and reaches down to peer through the torn fabric to the wound beneath—glad, at the very least, that the few drinks he’d had before leaving the apartment is dulling the pain even as strangers continue walking past on their own paths through the city.} ow. ow.

he’d never been one to pass up a party. even though he hadn’t owned a tuxedo since his teen years, the decision to rent one had been easy. sooyeon already had a dress tucked away in the closet—a purchase of whim, as far as he knew—and so it was with a light laugh that he’d called to rsvp. that was two nights before, and the excitement hadn’t quite died away. with the familiar warmth of his full-time companion at his side, jonghyun stepped in the door and breathed in the familiar scent of wine and autumn spice.

the mask perched upon his nose held steady as he peered past the cobwebs and plastic spiders strewn carefully over each and every surface. he watched with amusement as sooyeon became enamored with something and promptly wandered off to examine it further. how nice. the company influence was clear, but subtle, given the presence of their logo on a cup or two near the punch bowl—or the presence of people he couldn’t be sure were human or not. it was hard to tell, given that the only thing that set most of them apart was the inherent curiosity in their eyes.

jonghyun moved closer to the winding staircase leading up to the second floor, picking up a brochure tucked away on a small, round table. “nice party.”

{`the next track had Yoohwan widening his eyes in pleasant surprise, the smooth melody had him bouncing to the beat, shifting on the balls of his feet awkwardly.} I see. {`he states, nodding with a light small. He knew about the grooves by ear but could do little to make his body sway to the beat, long having given up on his mind-limbs combination. He took a step back when the DJ did, noting that it’s better for him to stay clear of the expensive machine.} I…I don’t know. {`he scratches the back of his head, giving a shrug. He hadn’t planned to stay for long either, and a quick glance down on the dance floor had him shuddering. There’s no way he’d be amid those people.} I just thought I’d have a couple of drinks and then head home, to be honest.

[exi-jonghyun]

{` not really the partying type, was he? jonghyun stifles a bit of amusement at the male’s words and glances up at the clock. It’d already come a bit too close to one in the morning for him to be comfortable with having nothing in his stomach but alcohol.} ah? think you’d be up for grabbing some food before then? I usually have a snack at the café down the street around this time. {` without waiting for an answer, he lifts his hand to gesture the standin dj back to the booth again. with a clap on the back and a murmur to keep it slow for a little while, jonghyun steps down from the booth and moves toward the front door—again, confident that yoohwan is following him, though he glances over his shoulder.} it’ll be my treat before you go home.

{`he kept silent as he watched in amazement as Jonghyun’s fingers worked wonders. Managing a nod or two at his statement, his eyes dart between the machine and the dance floor, only then noticing that it’s capable of changing up the music and the lighting. Holding on to drink tightly as he stepped forward tentatively, Yoohwan remember to keep an eye on his drink in case he spills. } Hmm? {`he blinks, averting his gaze for a moment to think. What request could he have? He’s no expert in the field of remixes, sticking close to the world of classical music and covers. The most he’s ever tried was dance-pop, and even so he’s not all that big of a fan. } I- {`he starts, then pauses. In the end he rubbed the back of his neck with one hand, giving a sheepish smile. } I have no requests, actually. Play me your favourites, then.

[exi-jonghyun]

{` he isn't the least bit surprised by that answer--if anything it only brings a brighter smile to his lips as he tunes fades the playing song into the next one; an r&b track with crooned vocals and an addictive beat that pours through the speakers situated at every corner of the club. } "I favor rhythm and blues, honestly. What they call dance music is actually damn near impossible to dance to." {` jonghyun sighs a bit, stepping back for a moment in favor of sipping his drink and watching the crowd move along. } "What do you intend to do with the rest of your time here, Yoohwan?"

Huh? {`dunking half of the beer, Yoohwan moved in step behind the other, trying to avoid the mob but failing terribly due to the number of people in the club. He blinked in slight surprised when he was led up to the DJ booth, standing a little awkwardly in the corner so as not to mess up anything by accident given his clumsy nature, before his ears picked up the vast change in musice. Yoohwan looked over to the DJ in slight surprised, not at all expecting such a soft tune to come from the intimidating-looking machine. It was a groovy beat, perhaps more towards R&B but he wasn’t all too sure - it was a genre that he wasn’t familiar with, but was definitely more pleasing to his sensitive ears. He made no comments as he moved closer in curiousity, wide eyes examining the many buttons and levels and the two black discs. }

[exi-jonghyun]

{` he takes his time shifting into his usual position in front of the turntables, flipping switches here and there to control the lighting on the dance floor before as the songs meld together before slowly separating--it moves into his own and jonghyun smiles to himself, pleased as he glances over } "This is your run of the mill table, but it works pretty damn well." {` with that, he slides his fingers over the discs, spinning them subtly with practiced movements as he leans into the microphone placed in front of him } "Let's slow it down for a little while, yeah? Get close." {` grinning, he takes another sip of his drink and gestures for the other male to step in even closer--attention now fully on setting the drink aside and showing him what does what } "Everything I need to remix anything on the fly is here--tempo controls and what have you. Got a request?"

[exi-jonghyun]

(` beams when he returns the kiss, jumping a bit at the pat as she squints playfully, smile still apparent on her face as she moves to retrieve his laptop from the bedroom) — (` hugs the electronic to her chest as she pads out into the living room once more, lips quirked almost impishly as she moves to settle in his lap, setting the computer on hers) There! (` couldn't look more pleased with herself)

{` finds himself amused as always by her antics as he settles his chin on her shoulder and watches over her shoulder as she boots the laptop up, weaving his arms around her waist } Comfortable? {` murmurs the question absently, leaning back into the couch while tugging her along with him } Alright, you know what to do.

[crossgrid]

[exi-jonghyun]

… Jonghyun please… 

[exi-jonghyun]

We should! Do you want me to get your laptop? (` blinks at the wink and smiles widely) Thank you, you aren't too! (` steps closer in favor of leaning up on her toes, pressing a small kiss to his lips)

Sure, go and get it. {` waves a hand in the air, entirely too happy to take a break from picking through halloween advertisements for the upcoming party at the club--grins at the kiss, pressing back before giving her backside a small pat } Go get my computer, Sooyeon-ah.

[exi-jonghyun]

I know it's a stereotype, but why is it one? And no, I don't think so..

... I don't actually know. Maybe we should naver it--

You're not dumb.

{` insert grin and wink idk }

[exi-jonghyun]

Jonghyun! Jonghyun! Why are blondes dumb?

That's a stereotype, Sooyeon-ah. You're not dumb, are you?

(‘a small chuckle leaves her lips when she sees his smile only to nod gracefully as she pulls her bag closer to her side) Thank you so much! (‘can’t help but bow quickly before walking next to the other with a curious look in her eyes) I have heard of them I-I just never been to one… {‘she could feel her cheeks warm up from the embarrassment, clearly realizing that if she wanted to feel ‘human’ she should at least know what those are but to her limited knowledge she felt like her cover was blown) I, don’t get out much…(‘sighs as her head tilts to the side) I always need help with things. 

[exi-jonghyun]

{` he smiles happily, fingers threading themselves through his hair at her answer--all too glad to show her the way as he glances over her face before turning the corner and moving to the front door of the convenience store.} "Well, it's not exactly 'wow' material, but here we are." {` in a spur of the moment decision, jonghyun holds the door open for her and follows her inside, grateful for the cool air that greets him as he casts a look at the cashier before moving to the drink cooler.} "Basically everything you could want is here."

Ah. {`his gaze dropped to stare at his own hands. He couldn’t see the difference of course - they were long and slender, but seemingly weaker than his brother’s. Were they pianist’s hands? He begged to differ, but the statement did put a light smile on the raven’s face } I see. {`murmurs, then looks back at you, chuckling lightly. His friend had since excused himself as he joined the dance pool, looking a tad too eager to merge into the group of girls with tight dresses and killer heels. } They think that I need to get away and loosen up a little. {`shrugs lightly } I figured that switching up a genre for a change shouldn’t be all that bad either. {`scrunches his nose when the volume of the music increased once again } Though, do you guys always have such, loud music?

[exi-jonghyun]

"Yeah, it's always this loud." {` he hums in response, having taking the young man's words in like a sponge, despite not commenting on them just yet. instead, jonghyun watches the other one depart with wry amusement as he takes another drink and gestures for yoohwan to follow him--intent on doing something about the rather notable shift in his expressions when it comes to the music.} "There's not really any place I know better to loosen up, at least. If you'll be patient with me and follow me up." {` he heads to the dj booth, a quirk to his lips once he speaks to the stand-in before stepping behind the booth and promptly sliding it into a similar yet more mellow tune.} "It's all in the atmosphere."
