"You're crying again." 

His face feels hot but it's not the swell of embarrassment under his cheeks. It's from dragging his palm over wet skin until he rubbed it all raw. It doesn't stop. He sniffs and looks pretty petulant. 

"I'm not." Hands take his, turning them over to view the bruises dotting each knuckle. He presses them back into his lap and meets Jinhee's eyes. 

"You're soft-hearted, Minghao." 

 -- 

He feels the press of dewy grass against his back when he collapses. Water logged clothes means he'd feel heavy when he sat up, but he doesn't feel like sitting up just yet. His head swims a murky sea between indecision and pain. His mouth tastes like a bunch of coins. He touches dried blood on his lip. 

Night passes into morning this way, and he jolts awake every hour. There's the buzz of insects in his ears, but he can't dissociate from the persistant memory of an old friend. He's shivering cold and his nose starts to run. Finding the energy to curl up inside a shed isn't easy. 

 A type of storm forms inside the bodies of certain people. People who are used to having control taken out of their hands. Minghao is a restless sort of personality. He hears the lull of a voice even with his eyes closed, and the heat of the sun on his face when a door creaks open. He's wide awake now, pressing back against wooden boards as if he can flatten himself and disappear inside the small shed. His wide eyes meet Jinhee's.

👀 [bbh/yf] "What's something attractive about me? You may name more than one thing."

“...More than one thing. What if I can’t think of one thing?” Maybe Yifan finds it amusing enough to focus on, smiling in the incomplete way he always does. It shines more in his eyes without forming into a full grin. Barely an upward twist of one corner of his mouth that disappears. “You’re incredibly stubborn. It can really be annoying-- but it’s your work ethic that I admire. You care so much about your work. Sometimes people get in the way of it, but you’re never cruel, you always try to help someone else in trouble at the expense of yourself. You hide your fears well. I know it was hard for you after the gala. The possibility of...” 

he doesn’t finish. normally he wouldn’t try to shield anyone from such blunt phrasing, but baekhyun is different. 

“...You’re a loud person. A very demanding presence-- it was almost too much for me in the beginning. I didn’t like you for a while, and then it changed. It shifted at some point. But maybe... It was curiosity that made me wonder why you try to hide so much of yourself by being so intrusive in everyone else’s lives. Even when you have suffered the most, you smile. You joke around, you say the dumbest shit. I couldn’t figure it out, why you suddenly became so interesting to me. I’ve never been able to be as free as you, be so unguarded and honest in my reactions to people and situations. But...”

“It’s captivating to be around someone like you. In ways, I think being around you made me a better agent, a better partner. And I don’t understand you sometimes, but I don’t think we need to understand completely. It’s just enough. It works this way. I’ve always liked to watch it all unfold from an outside perspective beside you. Trying to figure out how you view the world.”

Yifan pauses, fitting his chin into the palm of his hand, eyes trained on his friend.

“You probably want to hear me wax poetic about your face, don’t you? It’s not going to happen. I’m not romantic and I don’t find it all that useful. Besides, you know you’re not ugly.”

“It’s when you talk about something you love, something you’re passionate about, it shows in your entire body. You’re always present in the moment, and I’m always watching the way your eyes light up and the way your lips move.”

Yifan turns away, tucking his fist under his chin. His interest in continuing ends.

“That’s enough of that.”

👀 + okay so BAEKHYUN your true and honest feelings about yifan SPILL IT

Send me a “👀 + a question” and my muse has to answer honestly! ┊❥↺ @ksung

“Have you ever met an old dog who you really wanted to like you, so you keep showing up in front of it so it’d get used to you? Then you try to play with it and even though you two don’t really fully understand each other, you feel like there’s a mutual understanding? Well Yifan hasn’t. When I told him about this he said it wasn’t relatable and asked me why I called him at five in the morning.

I guess I find it really easy to talk to him? And he listens even when he seems like the type who wouldn’t, so bothering him is fun. Bothering most people becomes boring when you realize they get annoyed too quickly and don’t care about you at all. I think Yifan somewhat cares. He takes good care of me on missions, and sometimes it doesn’t feel like something that duty binds him to. I try to take care of him too. Only rarely does he consciously allow it, but I think he lets me slip past his defenses because deep down he needs a little care. 

I like him. I also liked him. We bicker back and forth and I thought maybe this could be one of those old married couple dynamics. It wouldn’t work though. I’m okay with it not working. What we have to offer each other is good at this level and it wouldn’t get better if we tried to date. 

I also don’t think he would let me fuck him so that’s a deal breaker.

But Yifan is a good man. I’ll help him with any favor if he ever asks me. Even if it’s fifty years into the future and he randomly shows up on my door step. I’ll help him”

when minyoung asked jisoo to strip she probably got so flustered her voice got real shrilly

minyoung was probably a little drunk so she hugs jisoo’s head to her chest. not even subtly, but like encases her whole head and smushes her face on top

“--so if now isn’t a good time to interview you, when would be a good time? I know how busy you are.”

The one trait they shared consistently creates the standstill, Minyoung buzzing around Jisoo when a questionable case still has yet to be filed. Women in their positions were rare, law and politics male-dominated and subtly but effectively always discouraging interest. Determination was an absolute for them to survive, stubbornness more like a prerequisite for their personalities. Jisoo has always been far more entertaining than her co-workers and the chief of police (who still refuses to see her). It’s a bit risky fraternizing in such a way, but there’s a story with Jisoo, and Minyoung just wants to give that narrative a voice. She uses Jisoo’s desk much like a chair, becoming a distraction Jisoo certainly does not need.

“You’re always dancing around my questions at work, so why not dance around them off the clock over lunch?”

[starrdew]

It hurts because Jisoo has been waiting for the words to finally leave Minyoung’s mouth. Her eyes have said it for a while now but Jisoo chose to look away. 

It hurts because it’s been a year. They have whispered I love you’s for a year, made each other laugh for a year, and revealed their vulnerabilities for a year.

But it hurts because there’s a possibility… that Minyoung is right.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY @hideousmentality​ 

[hideousmentality-blog]

they walked miles in each other’s shoes. hers would never fit him and she took his off and threw them at the wall. they had different roles to travel, after all.

he looked at her face and finally saw someone. she looked at him and hoped to never someone else waiting there. someone even worse in the future.

they saw each other enough (not to really see anything) they spoke just enough (not to really say much) they related to each other just enough (not to feel like strangers do) what happened when they were young together happened just enough until it wasn’t enough to ignore. not anymore.

as adults their words echo silence and they never say anything important. sometimes, he thinks maybe he wants to. maybe he should.

maybe build a bridge and let her walk across it.

yet, words always become sharp. turn into barbed wire. and he builds the fence around her even higher.

“Your hands are always bleeding or bruised-- punch a face or two?” “It must be nice never having to get hurt, princess-- being you.” “I’d say ‘if only you knew’, but I’d never want you to.”
