∞ Stare ∞ | Kae & Shin

[…]

Shin looked over to where she was looking and found nothing, just thin air and bushes that fenced around the park. He narrowed his eyes on it and then back to her. What was she staring on? Or was she just thinking and let her gaze went far off? His lips pursed in curiosity as he decided he should just make her the main character of the sketch of the day. The outlines started again but his curiosity was boiling and it made his head dizzy. A scoff surpassed his lips before he stood up, making his way towards the girl. He sat next to her, leaving a space between them before fixating his eyes off to where she was staring again. “What are you looking at?”

Her pupils dilate to the max but her gaze retains its oddness, deciphering its deeper intent is close to impossible, questioning it is a lot easier and so people do so, questioning with such aggression that would sometimes cross the lines of rudeness. Nonetheless, Kae had grown nonchalant, choosing to block off such negativity with a front of dumbnes which in the long run became her. Airheaded Kae would never ever think one’s being rude unless they state so themselves. Numbness to rude comments and questions lessen the burden of her uncanny ability.

She never intended to stare for as long as she did. Unwanted attention soon piled as she continues to drown in her own trance and she continues to be oblivious to her surroundings. It may have been a defense mechanism she honed unconsciously to shield herself from the scrutinizing gazes or it’s just that she simply doesn’t care at all, but nonetheless her focus is functioning at its peak.

But despite the attention she garnered from passersby, both good and bad altogether, no one dared to approach her. Maybe it was because most of them would rather tend to their own business than to approach a weirdo in the park, or the mere reason that she was a weirdo and they’d rather not deal with such people, either way, no one dared. Not until she was approached by someone who’d people understand as a free spirit that dared to approach the unhinged girl staring at nothing. But although he spoke audibly for Kae to hear, her gaze never leaves the ghost. She acknowledged his presence only by lifting a finger towards where the ghost was standing before speaking, without really thinking, a mere slip of the tongue, or just her dumbness working to its full effect.

“Someone’s standing stagnantly in the midst of the kids playing. Don’t you see him?” she asks, a question she’d probably regret later on when she snaps out of it.

∞ A mother's instinct ∞ | Kae & Hakyeon

A long face masks the unique beauty. The choice of a pair of washed out jeans that had seen better days and a plain white v-neck shirt that if you look closely would tell you that it’s stained yellow otherwise was her outfit for today, but it was obviously not spared much thought. The disaster doesn’t stop neck down. It carried over to her face that sported an unfriendly scowl, which was almost never seen donning her features ever. She was a bright girl, but today, something had obviously pushed her patience to its limit.

Driving Kae’s patience to its limit is a feat to be bragged about. Only a handful of unfortunate individuals have experienced the boiling, pent up wrath she hides deep down in the darkest corners of her demons and trust that she’d skin you alive with just a stare, boil you with her burning words and finish up with the coldest of shoulders you’d ever come across your entire lifetime. And although that sounds extremely terrifying, it is even more terrifying for people that would bump into her while going through such a disposition. She’d be too occupied with nonsensical thoughts that prettying herself up would be the least of her concerns whenever a mood so dark overcomes her and thus would explain the thoughtless fashion sense she sports today. Everything is just a mess at this point.

“I hate him.” she murmurs to herself as she angrily and aggressively feasts on the lunch that had just arrived on her table. It didn’t even occur to her that eating by her lonesome self was quite a sad scene as she feels as if someone so irritating was dining with her. Though the company was indeed a living, breathing person she knew personally, it was only the hatred she feels towards him that allowed her to feel as if his presence was with her. And it irritates her even more that she would be thinking about him at a time like this.

And so she attempts to rid her thoughts of him, shifting her attention to her phone and begins to skim through her short list of close friends. One name stood out most and she quickly sends out a desperate cry for distraction.

frozen epiphany ↣ [chorong & kae]

[…]

As her right hand flopped juust by the side of her face, with the occasion of hitting her self at times, she noticed a crowd that was building up by the side of the street. There was loud chatter coming from them, and everyone held something in their hands. Chorong figured that it was a food stall, but she’s never seen people gather like a pack of wolves like that. Curious, she walked towards the mysterious location, her eyes squinting very tightly to get a better look at it. As she came closer, she saw people’s hands be covered in the sweetest dessert anyone could ask for. Finally, something that would REALLY keep her cool.

ICE CREAM.

hdxkae

A scowl on her brother’s face was never absent during these times of complete and utter bliss for Kae. What seems to be some sort of unfortunate mishap for the younger and much hostile twin emphasized only the importance of it to the brighter and much normal older one, and so he did whatever he was told with only a look of dismay as protest but no words were mouthed. He knew Kae loved this line of work and brother dearest had no choice but to swallow and own up to the silent pledge they made even before they were born. The pledge that Kae lived up to every breathing moment and Jae accepting his fate as an ice cream truck owner was enough to ensure Kae that he did his own end of the bargain.

And thus, another day of smiles for Kae whereas another day of torture by the sweet, cold treat he deemed evil for Jae.

She was all smiles, as always. Greeting each customer with different pleasantries, and each one genuine at that. Although at times people would sense a gloom of an energy looming from within the truck whenever a shadow of some sort passes by behind the flowery aura of Kae (her brother), enough positive energy from Kae to ride on as they continue to converse with her and purchase their treat would rid of the spine tingling feeling as if it was never there. She enjoys bringing smiles to people of all sorts and what better way to do it than to sell them ice cream with a pretty smile and an even prettier conversation to go with it.

“Have a good day, sir!” she bids goodbye to a patron that had always enjoyed the company of Kae. Five minutes of her time wasn’t enough and so he stands by the small window while he indulges himself with the treat he bought from her, pitching in his two cents on the small conversations she spares each customer with. It wasn’t a bother for Kae at all, but at times he’d garner a strange look from the patrons, which Kae never enjoyed noticing. He was a nice guy who’s probably just lonely for some casual conversations.

She bids him one last wave before letting a wider smile to spread across her glossed up lips, greeting the customer next in line with a sickly positive and high pitched tone.

“Good afternoon! What will you be having today? Let me guess..” she pauses to add to the dramatics. “Strawberry?”

∞ Through the rainy night ∞ | Kae & Howon

The sky threatened Hongdae with roars of thunder and lightning, the surrounding darkening but not especially how Kae appreciates it. Umbrellas of all sorts pop in unison once it poured but the girl who had always expressed her hatred for rain made do with only a flimsy handkerchief for one. The agitation she felt was obvious, her forehead scrunched into folds of frowns and her lips uncomfortably pursed tightly to add to the scowl. How was she to know that’d it rain today? The sun was shining so brightly with no signs of turning on her when she left and sparing a moment to check the weather report was too much of a hassle. Then again, with the amount of people that had umbrellas prepared, it was safe to say that Kae was once again the weird one for not having one.

“I sooooo hate the rain!” she exclaimed to almost a shout. But the sound of the rain washed it out completely with no one else to hear her frustration but her.

Puddles were forming, filling up the little crevices on the ground slowly, but surely and Kae wasn’t going to wait until it comes to a point where she’d have to skip just to avoid them. She needed somewhere to take shelter in and with the downpour obviously only building up strength by now, she’d have to find one quick. Her damp clothes were starting to feel heavy and her body temperature was lowering down by the second. Running through the crowd, which only seemed to thicken as the rain worsened, was beginning to be a struggle as well and her desperation to find refuge only grew stronger.

“UGH!” She groaned, her feet inches deep in a puddle with the water seeping in as quickly as how she stepped on it, and it was the last straw. She stomped with long and heavy strides towards the nearest commercial establishment and banged at the door with her fist that was dripping wet.

hdxjia-deactivated20141018

what a shame, truly. jia would’ve preferred to see an old man than the girl who now stood in front of her. her expression showed that too, it was a disappointment mixed with bitterness. in a way she had no idea how to approach this situation. the chances that this girl could shed some light on her problem was rather slim.

a second or two passed before jia responded, figuring that she didn’t have anything to lose. “actually, i’m here to help you.” she smiled, a smile that promised far more than what she was willing to give. “you must be kaeun.” the girl. “i’m jia.” she extended her hand for a handshake, never having liked the tradition of bowing—meng jia didn’t bow for anyone or anything.

"i knew your grandfather, or i guess that your grandfather knew me. i have some questions and i’ll give you’re the only one who can answer them. can i come in?"

hdxkae

Bitterness, was it? Disappointment perhaps, Kae assumed. There was a hint of uncertainty mixed in with all the other confused expressions she had. Obviously Kae wasn’t what the unexpected guest was expecting to have opened the door, and unless her stoic brother had divine intervention and finally got a girlfriend (which chances are not the case), she was certain that this person is someone less of an acquaintance to her. Nonetheless, the bright girl still greeted her with a complimentary smile.

The smile grew tired from waiting for her guest to speak and she resorts to rolling her lips in quite awkwardly just to have something for them to be busy with. But once the other party breaks the silence, a smile finds its way to her moist lips once again. There was no time for Kae to question Jia’s words, not even how she knew Kae’s name or how she was supposed to be able to help the now obviously confused girl. Kae was only allowed to accept a handshake and is left to question just with her expressions, and her expression was one big question mark.

Only after her grandfather is brought up and was asked if she’d allow Jia in that she snaps out of her wordlessness, nodding while she steps aside to invite her guest in. “Yes, yes. Please come in and make yourself at home.” Courteous, she was still. But the curiosity she had was only fed as time passes by and even before they could reach the living room, questions escapes her lips.

“You’re here to help me? And how do you know my name? Most importantly, how do you know my grandfather? He’s been dead for quite a while!”

∞ a night of distractions ∞ | Kae & Sangwoo

Lonesome people tend to find distractions through all sorts of things. Anything to have time pass by quickly enough before their forlorn self catches up to them, dragging them back to a less peaceful state of mind. It’s been days since her inconsiderate brother left her for the US, leaving with words muttered not even hinting a miniscule of guilt when she’s practically begged on her knees for him to take her. “Parents need help, I’ll be back” is what he left her with, the coldness of his words bring no surprise to her but he could’ve at least spared a little warmth, she was his sister anyway. But then again, with Kae’s brother complex, she might have unreasonably reacted a tad over the line when he’s actually going to be back after a couple of weeks. Nonetheless, she felt lonelier and lonelier as days passed by. Drama queen.

As if owning up to the title, she started to seek refuge and solace to the one thing she’s always loved, the night sky. What drama queen would she be if she didn’t set the atmosphere to highlight her mood? A walk among the night crowd seemed to have done the trick of distracting her. Obsessed, she seems to be; as if the obsession she has for her brother shifted to the peaceful state of mind she acquires through walking around the neighborhood. “Better than wallowing miserably by my lonely self in the confinement of the house” she thought to herself.

And so she walks, no particular destination in mind and motivated solely by the unexpected distraction that awaits her.

┌ No Place, No-Face ┘ :: Kaeun & Taeil

hdxtaeil-deactivated20150106

[….]

Thrown shoes. Hung vest. Unbuttoned shirt. Bare boxers. Taeil let his whole body breathe the moment he stepped foot inside his small, but comfy place. Letting his tendencies get the best of him, he cleans up in the restroom and relieves himself before facing the mirror to reassure himself that he is strong and no longer creeped out. His session starts, binge-watching on his soft couch, chopping down the chips of the second bag before ultimately reaching his zoning phase of bobbing his head in and out of consciousness. One minute he is in space, and then back to the couch. This was the case until four knocks came upon his front door. Feeling the need to address it out of habit, he lugged himself out of the couch, only to drag himself towards the entrance. Unlatching and opening the door without checking the peephole, he irritably asked, “Yes, what is it?”

hdxkae

With a couple bag of chips cradled with her arms, she proceeds to the counter, standing behind him dangerously close with gaze so intense, it would’ve bore through the back of his head. She notices how they were about the same height, something she would never have found attractive based on her own preference but surprisingly she overlooked that flaw. Kae’s intense gaze had always been the first thing one would notice upon meeting, though now the same intense gaze drags along the outline of his head, taking in every detail to memory just in case she’d never have a chance in the future to do so. She observes a lock of hair flicking to a different direction compared to the others and she imagines how it would be like to sift through the softness; his nape, beyond manly to the eyes of an enticed girl. A couple of moments later, her gaze moves to inspect his broad shoulders, again, “manly” she thought but she didn’t linger on longer than she did when her eyes find their way to the man’s arms, his tattoos teasing her to the point where she almost reached out to have a touch. Luckily, he had moved out of her reach, which lead her to snap out of it as well.

Just as she thought she’d lose him after having exited the convenience store so much earlier than she did, she spots him almost immediately after she exits and she breaks to a fast walk, strides longer than the usual while she breezes past obstacles in front of her—be it a person or an inanimate object—until finally she’s close enough to slow down to his walking pace without the fear of losing sight of him.

With the plastic bag of chips in hand, she follows him inside a building, which she immediately recognized as residential. Steps light, with a little subtlety and cautiousness as she observes the obvious jitteriness in his movements; even deeming herself considerate for taking into account his uneasiness, though it is still very obvious that he’s on edge. But that didn’t stop her from continuing to observe him as he waits for the elevator and when he alights, she immediately presses the button to call for it once again. She didn’t forget to glance up and check where the elevator would stop and she smiles, almost deviously while muttering “eleven” to herself. She steps inside the elevator when it arrives, pressing the necessary button before impatiently tapping her foot against the metal floor as she watches the numbers jump from one onto the next until it reaches the 11th floor. She cautiously peeks her head out just in case, but luckily she only catches one of the doors slamming shut.

The walk from the elevator to the front door is a hellish one; she was quite lost as to what she was to do next but nonetheless finds herself knocking. Up to this point, she still had no idea what to say or do when he opens the door for her, which unexpectedly happened only after four knocks. The obvious look of shock on her face showed that she didn’t expect him to open the door for her at all, but what shocked her even more was the tone of his voice. Annoyed, it was, and she was obviously being a burden, but despite such thoughts, she lifted the plastic bag with the chips up to him and faked a smile while she finally speaks.

“Do.. Do you want some?”

∞ Stare ∞ | Kae & Shin

As if the day is mirroring Kae’s mood, the sun shone brightly with its rays hitting her pale skin, which illuminated brightly under it. She basked in the sunlight gifted to her by the skies while she walked towards her destination, which she understood as it smiling down on her like how she’s smiling up at it. As much as she loved the night sky, the morning sky weighs just the same. Their contrast was always significant to how she lived her life until now—seeing ghosts, the night, her bright personality, the day. And so relating to either of them is easily done.

She strode through the busy streets of Hongdae until she reached the park near their house that their ice cream truck usually frequents. Not only was it a hotspot for kids whose pockets are filled with change to spend, but also the ambiance the grassy surrounding gives off very much appeal to the girl with an unnatural taste—again, contrast. Rowdy kids running around the serene surroundings, screams from spoiled brats fighting the sound of the leaves rustling against each other as the wind blew through, she enjoys it all.

The bench seemed comfortable enough for a rest, settling herself on it almost immediately as she spots it. The easy-going, lazy feel of the afternoon calls for a refreshing stretch, lifting her arms up above her head while her feet sprawls in front of her, a quiet squeal leaving her lips while at it. She gives herself a couple of seconds before relaxing once again, a small, girlish smile taking over her plump glossed lips after having been refreshed with the simple action of stretching and she whispers to herself a quiet “what a great day”, an understatement really—it was a perfect day.

Only when an unusual individual caught her attention that she tenses up slightly in her seat, back suddenly straightened against the wooden bench with her hands unconsciously fiddling with each other, not to mention that her gaze is taking its very unusual form—intense but at the same time empty, focused but lost. The same gaze she has every time met with a ghost. She found herself staring, seconds turn to a minute which turned to five. The ghost was simply standing in the midst of the kids playing around, watching with no sign of causing any trouble nor moving at all, but even so, it was still very odd.

And so she stares, her perfect day interrupted by the uncalled for manifestation of her undead friend.

¡A promise is a debt. kae&jia

[...]

So it was no wonder that on a bitter cold october afternoon Meng Jia had left the comfort of her own house to seek out these grandkids. They would—hopefully—put her mind at ease. She rung the bell twice and took a step back.

hdxkae

Lazy afternoons are far too comfortable for someone who’d rather be up and about. Kae, on the other hand, enjoys such lazy afternoons. You’d expect one to be reading to burn the leisurely time away but Kae would rather bum it out until she’s needed to move, like their doorbell ringing twice.

She allowed herself a couple more moments to enjoy the comforts of her couch before finally deciding to attend to the front door. She wasn’t expecting anyone and her brother didn’t mention any visitors—not that he frequently invites people over. It’d be a delightful surprise for Kae if he did.

With a brief glance at the mirror and a couple of pats here and there to put into place loose hair, she heads for the door, opening it to have a female, who was sure she’s never met before, standing at the other side.

“Can I help you?” She asked out of courtesy.

┌ No Place, No-Face ┘ :: Kaeun & Taeil

[....]

At the end of his walk, he passes into the convenience store. Let’s get some goodies to snack on. Planning on filling his face while watching some of his favorite reruns, he snatches two potato chip bags and a liter of Sprite. Heading towards the register, Taeil cannot help but to suddenly have a nagging feeling. Why am I like this? His body starts feeling cooler, and it is nothing like the small chills he received from the outside recently. Like tiny daggers, his back, arms, and legs shoot up, covering his entire backside in goosebumps. I’m just tired, let’s head out. He presents his snacks to the register, and looks forward to knocking out on the couch.

hdxkae

Evenings hold a special place to someone like Kae. Cliché, one might deem it so, but it isn’t a sin to follow the norm. A simple walk through the neighborhood with the known fact that the night sky is watching down while the cold breeze embraces her frame, if not always, most of the time, allows the feeling of serenity to surge through her mostly burdened state. It grants the troubled female a temporary escape from her own thoughts though often times, since nighttime would be bustling with activity from the other world, she’d be met with an unwanted company. But oddly enough, tonight was peaceful. No signs of spirits manifesting nor that tingly feeling that they’re nearby. It was peaceful enough to assume that the night sky gave her the privilege of freedom to enjoy her surroundings, to take in whatever it is the night scene throws at her, something she usually was never allowed every time she sought comfort from it. With a quiet murmur of “thanks” while looking up at her favorite starry sky, she proceeds with her walk through the neighborhood.

The night was rather normal for the first half. Expected sights such as couples walking hand in hand and businessmen with sullen eyes on the way home from work were encountered, but never did she expect someone to easily catch her attention. As if her gaze were drawn just in time to witness the glorious moment of him unbuttoning and folding his sleeves up just enough to have his inks peek through, her head soon fills with unnecessary curiosity. Mystery always was attractive to young ladies, and even with Kae’s uncanny ability, she isn’t an exemption to this. And the mystery this person holds, his tattoos and overall countenance, unexpectedly very much appealed to the unknowing Kae.

Innocent as she may be, the unforeseen attraction would be the culprit that urged Kae to act upon with the succeeding actions she took. With curiosity clouding her judgment and no regards for being mistaken as a stalker, she followed him around, gaze never leaving him for the fear of losing him completely to the night scene. Mirroring every step with subtlety not an obvious concern for her. She had nothing to hide, it was pure attraction and she’s acting on it by following him around. Only when he almost took notice of her while they were both inside the convenience store that she felt the need to act casual, taking the role of a normal buyer just like him and grabbing onto whatever was close by—conveniently it wasn’t anything odd, just a bag of chips, enough to make her seem normal. It occurred to her that if she did get caught, she might have to stop following him around.

But her curiosity isn’t satisfied just yet.
