hdriyan

riyan's eyes flick to the screen - hearts flooding, comments screaming, and his smile sharpens. he moves just enough to stay out of frame, shoulders angling like muscle memory, then dips his chin toward the phone with a lazy sort of respect.

"live?" amusement blooms low in his voice. "mm. so brave."

his gaze drags back to hanbin, slow this time. he's not staring, he's assessing. the dimples don't help; riyan hates them, but it's a problem he's going to enjoy revisiting. "don't worry. i know how to keep my reputation… off camera." he smirked pointedly. "usually." his eyes trace the line of hanbin's shoulders, the way he stands like he's ready to bolt or dance at any second. cute. "first week?" riyan asks, voice smoothin over, knowing. another glance at the phone, then back at hanbin. he's got all the time in the world and fully intends to use it. "well, welcome to hydra," he says, softer now. "rule one: survive the hallways. rule two…" his smile tilts, subtle and very leo-coded. "don't trust anything that goes viral on day one."

he hooks his thumb into his waistband again, claiming the space like it's his. "i'm riyan," he repeats, the name needs to be said again. "and you're doing great so far, live audience included."

hdhanie

"ah, okay..." hanbin says, a little too fast, eyes flicking to his phone like it totally betrayed him. hearts are still coming. some account is spamming WHO IS THAT in all caps. he swallows. "hey everyone," he says into the camera, and decides he should cut the thread before it tangles. "i'm gonna hop off here. studio tour part two later, yeah? eat well. drink water." he ends the live.

the hallway goes silent in a way that feels loud. hanbin lowers the phone and exhales, shoulders dropping like he's just finished modeling shoot. "sorry again,” he says, though he's not sure for what. existing, maybe? "they're… really intense, huh?"

he's aware of how close riyan is now, how the space feels claimed without a hand ever perching on his shoulder. intense as well, but polite. he recognizes it. he respects it. it still rattles him. "first week," hanbin confirms. "first… everything." he smiles, smaller now, more real and dimpled. he bows, "min hanbin. it's a pleasure to meet you."

ordinary progress —

written for han minhyun (@hyunhd) ♡

hanbin likes the gym because it doesn't ask questions. here, progress is measurable. weight plates don't lie. muscles either hold or they don't. effort is totally honest. you lift, you fail, you try again.

he's halfway through a set when the space behind him changes. someone steps close enough to matter, but hanbin doesn't turn. he adjusts his grip, breathes in, accepts the arrangement without distraction. the bar lowers and he feels his shoulders engage, a familiar strain blooming through his arms. normally, this is the part where his thoughts narrow to numbers and form. he tightens his jaw, eyes locking onto his own reflection as if focus might be contagious, and that's where the composure breaks seeing minhyun's reflection.

he doesn't make a thing out of it. just a quick look. after another rep, hanbin steps out from under the bar and shakes his arms loose, breath still a little heavy but steadying fast. "hey! thank you so much for the help, i appreciate it," he says simply. full of manners this one especially to staff. he wipes his palms on his shorts, nods toward the rack, "you working out today, too, or you just passing through?"

senahd

sena said nothing at first. he merely stood there, a silent spectator to the internal war being waged within the young trainee. and when the boy finally confessed his tenure, sena was not disappointed, nor did any flicker of judgment appear on his countenance. if anything, sena felt the thrill of a new game beginning; his gaze sharpened with a renewed, mischievous light that danced beneath the lights overhead.

"relax, relax," sena chuckled lightly, a melodic resonance that bubbled from his throat, and waved off the young boy with a slender hand. he was genuinely delighted. "i’m not much of a singer either, and i've been doing this since before you were born, probably. i'd be a hypocrite to hold that against you when i've built a legacy on far less than vocal perfection."

sena let the words settle before he continued. "the standards in korea might be different from japan, but let me share something that's universal. you can train to be a better singer or a better dancer. but what's harder to hone—to truly master? is character. presence. the ability to make a room hold its breath just because you walked into it."

sena pushed himself off the doorframe and closed the distance to stand directly in front of the younger male. he moved with the languid, effortless grace of a man who owned every inch of the ground beneath his feet, his voice dropping to a register as smooth and intoxicating as aged whiskey. "tell me. how do you want to be remembered? what do you want to be known for?"

sena was not particularly interested in his exact answer, nor was he looking for a technical goal; it was his interpretation of the question, and how he would respond to it, that sena was fishing for.

hdhanie

hanbin listened. the words sink in his chest like stones dropped into water heavy. the room went quiet after sena finished speaking. even the lights felt less harsh.

how do you want to be remembered.

it was not a new question. it was one he asked himself late at night, lying awake when practice left his body sore and his head too loud. he had always answered it poorly. to be brighter. to be famous. answers that felt like running away from something instead of standing still. he took a breath. he did not smile. "i don't want to be remembered for being perfect," hanbin said. "there are a lot of perfect people." he looked at sena then. really looked. he did not look away. "i want people to remember how they felt when i was there," he said. "that something changed. even if they couldn't explain it. i want to be the kind of person who makes others braver," hanbin went on and couldn't stop himself. "not because i'm better than them. but because i tried anyway. even when it was ugly."

his hands curled once at his sides, then relaxed. "i don't need to be the best singer in the room," he said. "i just don't want to be forgettable. and i don't want to leave halfway through becoming myself." he bowed again. not deep or rushed, just enough. that was his answer.

"i'd really like to hear more about your career, though," he added for good measure.

crossing paths, casually

FT. @hdhanie

riyan nearly collides with him by accident — shoulder to shoulder in the hallway of the practice rooms, the kind of almost-crash that makes his iced water slosh dangerously close to spilling. he steadies it with an easy reflex, eyes flicking up just in time to catch hanbin mid-apology, phone already half-raised like muscle memory.

he clocks the dimples first. then the grin. then the fact that this boy looks way too put-together for someone who just walked straight into him.

"—whoa," riyan laughs, light and unbothered, stepping back a half pace instead of forward. "my bad. hallways be dangerous around this hour."

he notices the camera app still open on hanbin's screen, the soft glow of it reflected in his eyes. very gen z. very cute. riyan doesn't comment on it — just tips his bottle in a small, lazy salute.

"you filming content," he asks, tone easy, curious without prying, "or collecting evidence for when hydra finally blames us for structural damage?"

his gaze drifts, takes in the lean lines of hanbin's frame, the way he stands like he's always ready to move — dancer instincts, even if the confidence isn't loud yet. riyan smiles, subtle, like he already knows this encounter's about to turn into something recurring. "i'm riyan," he adds, thumb hooking casually into his waistband. "you're… new-new, right?" there's no rush in the way he waits for the answer. an open space, an invitation. running into each other was always going to happen eventually anyway.

hdhanie

he's still live. he knows he's still live because the comments are flying, hearts bubbling up the side of the screen like a soda shaken too hard. "ah, sorry! i'm sorry," he blurts out, bowing out of instinct even as he steadies his iced water with his other hand. disaster narrowly avoided.

then he actually looks. oh. that's… riyan.

that riyan. pretty-boy riyan. the one trainees whisper about in corners and comment sections under burner accounts. the one whose fancams trainees pass around like contraband. the one who (okay, allegedly) dated the ceo's son, but hanbin has always told himself rumors are rumors and also not his business, except his brain has stored the information anyway, neatly filed under Things About Riyan (Do Not Be Weird About This).

hanbin laughs, cheeks already warming. "i, uh, yeah. hallways are definitely dangerous," he agrees, nodding like this is a serious occupational hazard officials should analyze and resolve. he glances down at his phone, then back up, dimples carving themselves into his face without permission. "i'm, um—yeah. i'm live," he admits, lifting the phone a little higher so it's obvious. "touring the new studio. they just uh, gave me a tour so i thought of giving everyone a tour, so…" the comment section loses its mind!

senahd

sena made no effort to mask the visceral wince that flickered across his features at certain points in the young lad's performance. and at other points, no more than a handful, it teetered dangerously close to an auditory assault, a weaponised impairment of pitch that would have normally driven him away. yet, sena remained. rooted not by singing prowess but by the sheer, unpolished grit beneath those shaky notes. oh, it was a marvel to behold, that specific brand of resolve that refused to be dragged down by gravity before leaping off a cliff. sena fed on the zeal of those gravity-defiers; they grabbed at his typically fickle interest and held him captive.

once his presence was recognised, sena shifted his weight, uncrossing his ankles to allow the trainee passage from the booth, but showed no intent himself of vacating his current post. and why would he leave when the audacious promise that tumbled from the boy's lips gave sena such unadulterated amusement? he threw his head back, a chuckle rumbling from within his throat, airy and rich with delight. many would covet the melody this young man had just so graciously received—and for free, no less! but if those others were here, sena would simply point a slender finger at their inability to elicit such a thrill from him, a thrill that was now coursing through his veins and hazing his logical mind.

"well, you better, if you want to remain here for long," sena drawled, mirth dancing in his eyes and softening the sharp edges of his critique. "or, you know, go beyond here. which might take you a while, if you don't get any better. charisma can carry a tune, but it can't compose the whole symphony.

"how many years?" sena asked with a casual tilt of his head. he did not need to clarify that he was asking for the tenure of his training, and specifically, how many years were spent nursing such lacklustre singing while cultivating such spectacular confidence.

hdhanie

hanbin almost lies.

the answer perches on his tongue, light and so convenient. 'six months, less than a year,' something soft and forgivable that would let him pass as raw clay instead of a boy who'd already been handled, shaped poorly, then set down unfinished. he can already picture how it would play: sena's eyebrow lifting, the indulgent ah, that explains it, the lack patience afforded to someone used. it's tempting. peter pan syndrome, alive and kicking, and neverland is stitched behind his ribs, insisting that if he refuses to grow up, refuses to accumulate time, then maybe time won't claim him either. but sena's looking at him like he can smell cowardice.

hanbin swallows. "…since january 2023." he rubs the back of his neck, sheepish but stubborn, rocking once on his heels before stilling himself. "so… two years. almost." he braces for impact, jaw tight, like he’s about to be scolded for wasting oxygen. "not here," he adds quickly, because context matters. because he needs it to matter. "my old company didn’t really do… vocal foundations. it was more like—" he gestures vaguely, hands fluttering, searching for the right word. "—survival 24/7."

then, softer, honest in a way that makes his chest ache a little, "i kinda taught myself. badly. but i watched everyone, from my peers to my seniors. copied..." he lifts his chin, eyes bright. not defensive, not apologetic, just there. daring. he's new to hydra, he thinks. "i know i'm behind, but i don't freeze. i don't disappear. and i don't quit when someone looks at me like i'm… inconvenient. if confidence isn’t enough yet," he bows lightly, "then please help me build other skills rest around it." he bows again, finally meeting sena's eyes.

hdyejun

doomscrolling is a horrible hobby, he's determined, if he can even call it a 'hobby'. despite arriving earlier than the original meeting time, it passed by in a fleeting moment, halting at hanbin's declaration of his arrival. "oh you're fine! it's good to see you again. i think it's been..." yejun trails off at trying to think about when the last time they met was- "far too long too even recount. so. lets make it a shorter break in between meetings, yeah?"

"its got to be both, but i do like it to at least look good enough for a photo. camera eats first," he rolls his eyes, mostly at himself. it's a habit he can't get out of, snapping it for later, only later never actually comes to fruition. "but don't you worry your pretty lil' head, i'll go order something for the both of us." disappearing for a moment to the counter, he orders two drinks that he favours, but one is tea-based, and the other one espresso-based. if hanbin had a preference for one, yejun would be fine with whichever was left over. after paying and taking a seat, "if both drinks are a fail, we'll just order something else. but what's bothering you?" shoulders hunching as he leans in closer, attention all focused on hanbin. "i'm all ears. and you know i'd never judge."

hdhanie

hanbin reaches out without overthinking and curls both hands around the tea, like it chose him first, shoulders relaxing the second the warm cup hits his palms. "okay," he murmurs, smiling down at it. "yeah. this one's mine."

he takes a careful sip, then nods like he's quietly proud of yejun. "mm. you did good. this is… comforting. very 'sit down and breathe for a second.'" he laughs softly and nudges the other cup toward yejun. "espresso suits you anyway." yejun is the type to lean in, all attentive but gentle, like an espresso. he shrugs, "i think i just get tired," he admits, honest. "not in a dramatic way. just… i try really hard all the time, and sometimes i don't notice until i stop moving. plus, family drama during the holiday season is imminent." he traces the rim of the cup with his thumb, absent-minded.

"seeing you helps!" he adds quickly, he so doesn't want to make things heavy. he looks up at yejun again, dimples flashing, that boy-next-door charm oozing through. "thanks for asking, though. really. i'm okay. promise... how about you? the yejun i know wasn't on his phone all the time...?"

#한빈 / musings

senahd

⟡ @hdhanie — thread.

a copy of his freshly signed executive contract lay forgotten somewhere in a drawer at his penthouse, yet that did little to dilute the proprietary ease of a predator surveying hunting grounds yet unchartered, as sena walked the pristine and fluorescent-lit halls of the agency building. he was here to assess the 'inventory', to separate the diamonds from the dull glass, the stars from common space dust. he expected some level of polish, he expected desperation and even the stifling rigidity of perfectionism that he could already pinpoint in some of the trainees he had seen on first impression alone.

he certainly did not expect... this.

the sound drifted to his ears through the crack of a slightly ajar door down the corridor: a vocal performance that contained unbridled confidence, in the face of skills that left much to be desired.

curiosity was an insatiable beast that ruled sena's impulses more than it should, and it nudged him closer.

with a fluid grace that barely stirred the air, sena pushed the door further open, enough to accommodate his slender form leaning against its frame. he crossed his arms over his chest draped in fine silk—exposing no more than his pale collarbones, a moment of modesty for him—and watched the young boy, nameless and no more than a face in a sea of many others, pour his heart out into a song that did not seem to agree well with his present vocal capabilities.

it was farcical, it was a touch more conceited than what sena was usually willing to stomach. it was, sena decided with an amused and sly curve of his lips, exactly the kind of audacity that he liked to work with.

hdhanie

hanbin doesn't notice producer-nim at first. or maybe he does, maybe some instinct hums at the back of his pretty skull, that someone's watching, someone important, but he's too deep into the song to break the fantasy he's building for himself. it's not good... hanbin knows it's not good. his pitch wobbles, his breath control is a mess, he hits high notes like he's trying to charm them into submission instead of actually supporting them. but he means every word, as if sincerity alone can fill in the cracks training hasn't.

he's not here to sound perfect. he's here to make the room bend toward him.

only when the track cuts does he finally lift his head, chest rising with uneven breaths, then his eyes snag on sena in the doorway. at first, confusion; then surprise; then pink embarassment flushes his cheeks, "...oh!" his voice cracks on the single syllable, mortifyingly honest. he bows. quickly, too quickly, the kind that nearly throws his balance off because he's rushing to salvage dignity he already lost. his hair falls over his eyes, hiding the worst of the blush but not the tremor in his breath.

he walks out of the recording booth, shoulders back like he's in front of a panel. oh, he's heard of sena, of his particular perfectionism, and hanbin's been wanting to be his pupil ever since (very ala kill bill). "—i mean, hello. sorry. i was practicing." he says it like it should excuse everything, and he reflects back in full anxious flashbacks: the cracking note on the bridge, the overconfidence, the way he sang like he thought he owned the place. oh god. but then, because he can't help himself, because he was born with delusion dripping like gold through his veins—

"i get better the more you listen." bright and boyish. "promise."

the soft gothic —

written for kim yejun (@hdyejun) ♡

setting: a hip little bookstore café in hongdae. the bell above the door rings and hanbin almost regrets coming. it's totally loud, crowded, but then he spots yejun by the back shelves, and it's stupid how quickly hanbin's shoulders drop. like a familiar shape just clicked back into place. he slips into the seat across from him, tapping the table gently with his knuckle so he doesn't startle him too hard. "hey you," he says, the word coming out in a quiet rush. "sorry i'm late. i got distracted looking at a shelf of books i'm never gonna read."

he pulls the little café menu toward himself then stops halfway, tilting his head. "okay," he says, though it sounds more amused than serious, "do you actually order things here based on the taste or based on what looks good in photos? anyway, it's nice catching up with you," he adds, softer now, his thumb rubbing the edge of the menu. "everything's been… a lot lately. so this is kinda perfect."

he clears his throat, shakes it off, and taps the menu with a grin that finally shows. "anyway. pick something for me. i trust your judgment more than mine."

hdzoe

zoe is delighted by his whole dramatic spill. the pointing, the hand drop, way he says you're actually insane bit. she's been managing him since they were teenagers, since the first time he walked into a room like he was apologizing for taking up space and demanding it at the same time. she knows his entrances, his moods, his many, many tells.

she knows him.

so when hanbin starts flailing his hands like a man being personally attacked by organizational structure, she presses her lips together to hide a smirk. it doesn't work. her smile slips out anyway, "oh sweet, naive hanbin," she says, tilting her head and letting her earrings swing, "sweetie, you absolutely can't survive without departments. you need labels on people like i need labels on skincare. otherwise you start letting your inner gremlin into your life and calling boys you meet 'destiny.'"

she lifts her chopsticks, poised above the pho like she’s conducting an orchestra. "but of course i ordered for you. you come back after months and expect me to trust your palate? puh-lease. i've seen how you eat when i'm not supervising."

hdhanie

it's ridiculous how quickly she reduces him to who he used to be. not in a bad way, in a oh right, someone actually sees me way. he drops his face into his hands for half a second when she calls him sweet, naïve hanbin, like he's a wounded bird, but his laugh spills through his fingers.

"don't—" he lifts his head again, eyes narrowed like he's ready to fight but he's really fighting back another laugh, "—don't talk about my inner gremlin. he doesn't pay rent, he shows up maybe twice a year. three times if i'm heartbroken. and one time was because of that-boy-who-will-not-be-named who looked like he escaped from a perfume ad, so honestly, i was set up!"

he gestures vaguely in the air, as if waving away the memory… or the embarrassment. he chokes on his own pride a little. "fineeeee," he grumbles, "maybe I do… attach quickly. but that's because i see the best in people. it's not my fault everyone in this industry is stupidly pretty but emotionally unavailable." he tries to give her a deadpan look. it melts into a soft bunny. "honestly? thank god. the streets were getting dangerous without my handler. i've been eating things like," he lowers his voice like this part is scandalous, "plain rice triangles. with nothing inside. nothing, zoe."

hdzoe

of course hanbin walks back into her life like he never left, dimples first, dramatics second. she sits up straighter, flicking one perfectly manicured nail against the rim of her water glass like she's announcing her presence. not that she needs to. the lv tote beside her is practically a beacon for all those stylish and burdened by normies around them. she watches him talk. no, really talk; in that excited, slightly breathless way he only does when he's hiding his actual emotions. it softens her, just a touch. enough that she has to look down at her broth before he can catch her looking fond. she just wishes mae was with them...

the moment he says give me the tea, she exhales through a laugh, shaking her head like he's absolutely impossible. "first of all," she says, like, she's about to offer him runway commentary instead of intel. "welcome back to civilization. clearly you've been depriving yourself of quality gossip." she reaches for her chopsticks but doesn't unwrap them. zoe would never waste a dramatic moment on practicality.

"before i answer, question: are we talking boys who will ruin your sanity," she starts and skips right over to the juicy section, "or boys who will ruin your credit score? because those are two different departments and i staff both." knowing hanbin though, there's definitely something more specific he wants zoe to pre-screen.

hdhanie

"how do you always know..." that's his first thought (loud, dramatic, borderline accusatory) the moment zoe flicks her nail against the glass like she's calling court into session. hanbin swears he feels eighteen again, sitting across from her in their old trainee cafeteria, pretending he's not hanging onto every word she says. his dimples flash before he even sits. they never left her, really. he just walks back in like a seasonal weather pattern.

"you..." he points at her, then drops his hand uselessly because even pointing feels too on-the-nose, "are actually insane. you clocked me in, like, two breaths." and she did. he sees it in the way she watches him talk, really watches him, and suddenly he's the one looking down at his broth, hiding a smile. also, can he gush over the fact that she ordered for him? "no, don't do that," he waves his hands, laughing helplessly, “don't make departments, zoe. i can't handle departments. i barely survived company hierarchy the first time. the talent consultants told me it'd be different here."

he leans in, lowering his voice like this is some state-level classified stuff. "but listen, if anyone is going to destroy my credit score, it's going to be me. i'm responsible. i do that myself." then, quieter, playful: "and you. when you drag me into stores I can't afford."

🪞 HYDE ACADEMY STUDENT FILE NAME: prince hyangbin of the minthrone court KNOWN ALIASES: "last gwehae prince," "the soft fanged prince" AGE (MORTAL YEARS): 22 (estimated to be a few centuries old) SPECIES: gwehae yagwanggwi-shifter... in short terms, a werewolf but make it cat. HOUSE AFFILIATION: 🐺 IRONFANG ROLE: prefect of the east wing! 🫡 specializes in patrolling the grounds after dusk, escorting lost quidditch players back to his- their dorms! and suppressing feral transfigurations during moonstorms.

🕯️ SECTION I — ORIGINS

long ago, the gwehae were a feared and revered race of nocturnal feline shifters, mountain-born predators whose bodies were built for the hunt. their lineage came from spirit-beasts that once prowled the high ranges, granting their descendants heightened senses, shifting anatomies, and a unique biological organ known as the yagwang core: a bioluminescent heart-center that burned pink-violet when instincts surged. It was not a soul. not a ghost. it was closer to a second heart like this a living reservoir of memory, power, and feral drive. the gwehae thrived for centuries, ruling shadowed forests and alpine cliffs, until an all-out conflict with human sorcerers decimated their numbers. some carried a dormant strand of the old blood; diluted, yes, but sleeping, barely understood. most born into the line felt nothing more than a mild sensitivity to moon phases.

then hyangbin was born.

a child with a heartbeat too fast, senses too sharp, eyes that reacted instinctively to light like a nocturnal animal. his early tantrums shook lanterns; his laughter made house-cats kneel. by age 9, he could hear footsteps from three floors below. by 12, his pupils started shifting in the dark, narrowing to slits. unlike the legends, nothing "merged" with him. no flame descended. no spirit chose him. it did however, come with its set of consequences: surges of aggression, moon-triggered partial shifts, hunger he couldn't explain, the urge to defend, stalk, chase. when the transformations intensified at fifteen (digitigrade legs cracking through, claws snapping bloody free) HYDE academy intervened not to cage him, but to train the rarest creature of their age: the last living gwehae prince, and the only known shifter whose entire lineage awakened inside one body.

🕸️ SECTION II — AURA & STYLE

Aesthetic / Monster Fit: he dresses like those embassy kids attending public school. long, fluid coats that trail, high collars hiding a faint pink glow, layered outfits and structured jackets in moonlit blues and ink-black shadows, gold-threaded embroidery catching light like quiet constellations by his hearts, and his imported boots are soft enough for a predator's step. his jewelry hums with old magic, and an effortless, unsettling elegance that makes every room dim slightly as he enters, every lantern tilt toward him.

Powers:

LANTERNHEART: a bioluminescent flame inside his ribs that reveals illusions, exposes lies, and guides souls to love. can ignite into spectral fire.

SHAPE-SHIFTING: partial-to-feral transformation into a feline-lupine spirit-beast, digitigrade legs, elongated jaw & claws, and heightened, predatory senses.

NIGHTSTEP: moves silently at supernatural speed; can traverse shadowed hallways like water.

SOUL SCENT: smells emotions (fear, longing, anger, envy, lust especially).

ECHO-VOICE: when angered or overwhelmed, he speaks in 2-5 layered tones that compel attention or obedience.

ASTRAL TARGET: can mark a person or monster, allowing him to find them anywhere on campus.

Weaknesses:

DAWNFALL: exposure to morning light weakens him; light and fire in general dims his abilities, instincts go dull.

HEARTFLARE: emotional spikes (jealousy, desire, grief) can overheat his gwehae flame and injure him internally.

SILVER: bells, threads, and weapons dampen his abilities or force a partial de-shift.

ATTACHMENT: his species bonds violently once it chooses someone (in the old days, matriarchs killed their partners out of love and it was a worshipped feast), a devotion bordering on territorial obsession.

🕯️ SECTION III — PERSONALITY SHIFT

in this world, hyangbin is still warm, curious, and quick to grin, but the softness is threaded in hunger. the dimples remain; they just glow when he's lying. the shyness remains; it just masks instinctual protectiveness. the friendliness remains; it just comes with a shadow that watches you even when he sleeps. it's not genuine and everyone can tell. he is playful with his house, fiercely loyal to his pack, endlessly nosy, and tries very, very hard to seem normal. but when the lanternheart pulses… he looks like something that crawled out of a blackhole.

🕷️ SECTION IV — MOTIVATION

his core goal is very simple: control the flame before it controls him. protect the few he loves, even if it means unleashing the creature inside him. prove that a boy born from longing can still choose his own future. he wants belonging, purpose, and maybe… to understand the emotions he scents on others but can't always name.

🌒 SECTION V — THE BLACKOUT EFFECT

Do they remember the original HYDE? Or believe they’ve always lived here? yes but not like a human would. he remembers it like a dream lived by someone else wearing his face. moments, gestures, flashes of happiness: a greyhound nosing his cheek, a guy's tall shadow, the taste of pho shared after practice. they feel like memories from another life he is both afraid, ashamed, but desperate to reclaim.

Any glitch-visions / lingering memories? when his lanternheart glitches, he sees:

himself standing on a stage under too-bright spotlights

hands brushing his hair back with gentle familiarity

a second shadow following him, sometimes lagging behind by a heartbeat

a version of himself with no claws and no flame

he wakes with his ribs glowing.

A rumor whispered about them in the dorms: "if prefect meanie marks you, he'll find you anywhere, it's so annoying. even in your dreams. seriously, can't the academy do something about this?"

"behold the lanternborn, stitched from longing and midnight. a creature who wears boyhood like a borrowed coat, and carries a demon's hunger beneath a mortal grin. follow him, and the hallways brighten. love him, and the shadows learn your name."

hanbin pushes open the fogged-up glass door, the bell chiming overhead like it remembers him. same way the broth smell hits him like a big hug. star anise, basil, beef. it's been only months, but it still feels like their place. he spots her immediately. not because she's waving, not because she's calling his name, no, because her louis vuitton tote is propped up on the chair like it got here early and booked the seat for her. classic zoe. he snorts under his breath, grinning as he slips into the seat across from her, his own designer bag hitting the chair beside him with the same familiar thud.

"wow" he says, dimples out and bright as ever. "two seconds back together and it already looks like we're filming a luxury brand ad in a pho shop." their chopsticks aren't even unwrapped hanbin starts yapping away. hydra, new opportunities, new trainers, new expectations, the stuff they're supposed to be excited about. and hanbin is. mostly. "some things never change, he murmurs, stirring his broth while sneaking a look at her. "like us complaining before we eat."

he's teasing, but there's softness there, the kind that only comes from surviving the same trenches. he missed this. missed her. she's his closest girl friend. "so!" hanbin leans forward, like he's about to drop state secrets.
