we won't back down

You can't feel the heat until you hold your hand over the flame. You can't find the beat until you lose yourself in it.

“..I..I..” He started, but he didn’t even know how to finish, frowning deeply as he looked down at the ground, rubbing his opposite arm a bit sadly. “..Don’t you want to see dad? And..get to know your brother? I mean..it’s not like you have much of a life in a place like this..” Young didn’t feel good suddenly. It felt like..he had wasted a large part of his life. He did waste a large part of his life–Haneul wanted nothing to do with him.. “..I’m sorry..ill..I’ll just leave you alone..” He mumbled defeatedly, turning away quietly to start walking down the hall.

“Hey.” Haneul grabbed Young’s wrist lightly to make sure the other wouldn’t leave. “I want to see Junbaek, and get to know you. Just... Let me think about it. I’m not going to agree on a risky plan to escape a heavily secured island right off the bat. I... I don’t like that kind of conflict.” He let out a sigh. It was getting frustrating how Young couldn’t see his side of this.

No, I wouldn’t, ‘cause that would be your an’ their fuckin’ problem. Not mine. [Sid scoffed.] Bitch please, I don’t like anyone. Ain’t that kinda guy.

[Haneul sighed.] Fine, be like that. God forbid I’ll ever have a decent conversation with someone. I figured you at least weren’t crazy, but you’re just being a dick.

“..What do you mean? I found you–I promised dad id bring you back, you’re gonna see him and we can..you know, be a real family.” Young said, giving him a small smile, though it was weak due to the way Hanuel was speaking to him. And the looks he was being given..why was he acting like this? Why wasn’t he happier? “Haneul–we’re gonna go back together, I promise! We can get out of here–there’s a ton of boats and stuff and it won’t take that much effort, I have it all planned!”

“Do you realise what you’re saying? I talked to Junbaek, I was going to visit him in a couple of months. And I have a real family. In the Netherlands...” He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. “Look, in any other circumstance I’d be happy to get to know you, but you have to snap out of whatever fantasy you’ve come up with. I have my own life. Did you not think of what I might want?”

“..Well..I..” He trailed off, looking down with a bit of a frown. This was not at all how he imagined this would happen..not at all. He shifted in his spot a bit nervously, rubbing the back of his neck. “..I’m an escort, actually. I wanted to follow your footsteps..but I didn’t know this was where I’d end up. But we’re gonna get out of here, I promise. And I can prove to you i’m your brother by taking you to Korea.”

Haneul promised himself to hear the other out, but it was with a slight scowl on his face. His eyes widened when Young mentioned getting off the island, and he immediately shook his head. “Bad idea. Bad, terrible, stupid idea. You’re going to get us killed.” He took a step forward, a flash of worry crossing his eyes before she shook his head once more. “You’re stuck here the same as I. Should teach you not to blindly follow someone’s steps...”

youngminseok00 :

“Well…my..our dad, he told me about you just a few years ago. I went to visit the Netherlands, and I..followed your steps for the past two years. Our dads name is Junbaek Seok, and my name is Young-Min Seok. We have the same last name–technically your last name is Seok too.” He said all in one breath, looking at the other a bit nervously, worried he really wouldn’t believe him. “You were born in 1995, 6 years before I was. And..I don’t know why our dad kept me a secret..maybe he was embarrassed or something. But I’ve spent so long trying to find you.”

Haneul was refusing to believe all this. Some kid walks up to him, tells him he’s his sibling... "So long? You know, sounds pretty stalkerish. You might just have done some thorough research,” he muttered, but this nineteen year old... unlikely. “Congratulations. You’ve found me. Was it worth it? The older boy gestured around. “Or... wait, are you here as a client?”

youngminseok00 :

“..Sorry, I just um…I don’t really know how to say this..” Youngmin started, looking down a bit nervously before looking up to the other, running a hand through his own messy hair, before he smiled a bit. So this whole thing wasn’t in vain.. “..I’m your brother. Well..half-brother. But your bother, nonetheless..”

Haneul was about to say something when he heard the other’s words. He fell silent, looking the other over with a frown. “Say I believe you,” he started, “I had contact with my-- our father. He never said anything about that.” He’d mentioned getting remarried, but nothing else. “Prove it.”

Don’t fuckin’ tell me what to do. [ Sid sneered, though not as angrily as he usually would, as he snatched his shirt back from Haneul.] Perhaps you should just leave shit alone, that doesn’t belong to you. Could’ve touched the wrong person’s stuff.

[Haneul huffed and rolled his eyes.] Whatever. Not like you’d care if I touched the wrong person’s stuff, just if it was yours. [He smirked a little.] Or do you actually like me more than you’re letting on?

youngminseok00 :

“Could I just um..talk to you, for a moment?” Young asked, biting his lip nervously for a long moment, before grabbing the older male’s arm, pulling him towards a more private area. Well, not private, per se, but a spot without many others around to eavesdrop. “..You’re..Haneul?”

Haneul frowned at the other, a little confused as to what was going on, but then he was being pulled away, and he found that he didn’t tear his arm away. The question only made his frown deepen. “Uh, yeah? I am. Excuse me, but who are you and why do you know that?”

[thesidmason]

Oi! Just ‘cause I ain’t wearin’ that, doesn’t mean ya can snatch it! It’s just bloody hot today.

[haneulvsteenbergen-blog]

[Haneul looked up with a bit of a frown.] Oi, calm down. [He handed the shirt back.] It looked unattended, I would’ve looked for the owner if said owner didn’t accuse me of snatching it before I could.

mr-xavier-leblanc :

I own the island, so I’ve been here since day one.

You’re the owner? I, um... expected the owner of a place like this to look more like a serial killer or something. No offence.

mr-xavier-leblanc :

“I don’t believe we have. I’m Xavier.”

“Nice to meet you, Xavier. I’m Haneul. Have you been here long?”

“Oh, hey. Have we met? I feel like I’ve seen you around at least.”

The reply made him smile. “Good.” He handed over the menu to the younger man as he spoke. “I would just like to know what this place has to offer. It did boasted a lot on the brochure.” His gaze met the other’s as he picked up his drink next before sipping on it slightly. 

Haneul took the menu and started flipping through it. He shrugged a little at the other’s words, glancing up briefly. “Well, as the brochure probably mentioned, it offers a beautiful view of the sea, a great climate, as well as... us.” He fixed his eyes on the menu for a moment longer, not really sure how dissatisfied he wanted to sound in front of this man.

Charles slowly shook his head. “Nope, not at all. So, um, well… you won’t need to get comfortable with it if you found a master you like, and one who likes and respects you.”

Haneul considered the other’s words and nodded slowly. “I uh, will try to do that. There’s just not many people I know here, and I find it hard trusting anyone who is here because they want to... no offence.”
