Ocean Rescue || Jia & Woori

[jia-guardian]

When Woori reassured her that she was fine, Jia’s feeling of worry subsided a little and she started to smile warmly as Woori pulled her in a hug. Regardless of the fact that the gesture itself was not something she was comfortable with, she knew very well what the meaning of it was and she was glad that Woori was on such terms with her that she would show her happiness over seeing her again through a hug. Smiling still as she moved out of the other’s grip a little again, she nodded her head. “I know. I kind of ran out on work, though, so you can tell them that it was an emergency right?” she stated with a loose grin, shrugging her shoulders lightly before looking down at the guy she just floored. “At the same time perhaps call up headquarters to get this guy back to his rightful place and have him put on two months hard training duty, it will make him regret ever being like this to you without the need for you to have him put to Superior judgement. It’s kind of harsh, no offence.”

Looking back up at Woori after those words, she started to smile a bit wider again. “It’s really good to see you, though, girl!” she then stated with a lot more happiness in her voice than she’d shown so far, because she finally let herself out of the working mood and into the catching up with friends-mood. “It’s been ages or something! How have you been? And why on earth are you all the way out here? Are you enjoying a holiday without inviting me along?” Narrowing her eyes in a suspicious manner at the last sentence, she lifted a hand to point a blaming finger in the younger woman’s direction. That of course didn’t last too long before she lowered it again and was grinning once more. “Ah, Woori-ah, didn’t I tell you to call more often? I like what you’ve done with your hair, by the way! Truly marvellous! So much shorter but very nice. And a change of colour too, very brave indeed!” Grinning in amusement, Jia threw an arm over Woori’s shoulder as she calmly led the younger woman a bit away from the unconscious man, a little further down the shore. “You must tell me all about what you’ve been doing!”

[inactivewoori-superior]

Woori noticed the way Jia reacted to the hug and instantly let go, placing her hands at her sides, making a mental note not to do that again. "Yeah sure..emergency." She repeated and looked down at the male who was passed out. She honestly had no plans of even telling on him and felt offended even if Jia said no offense. A tinge of anger flared in her, mostly because she thought Jia knew her better than that. Her mood suddenly dropped, and she kicked some sand under her feet some. She chose to ignore the comment instead and look at the ocean, crossing her arms over her chest casually. "Sure." She spoke finally. 

She supposed that it was normal for things like this to happen. Nobody was perfect, she knew. There would always be that boundary between castes, like it was meant to be in the first place. She felt sort of lumped together with the more harsh superiors, and it didn't feel right. She'd never hurt someone or have someone be put to death for something as trivial as this. She mustered up a smile despite what she was feeling and listened to Jia speaking, keeping usually quite for the time being. "I like the ocean. I don'--I just like to watch the waves roll in and out." She smiled at the thought, and when her hair was mentioned reached up to touch it, measuring the length with her hand, forgetting just how short it is.

"Thank you, Jia." She smiled a bit easier this time and followed Jia when she was pulled away, leaving most of her thoughts behind her. "I guess I was just busy with hotel stuff, that I haven't really kept in contact with many I guess. I'll try harder." She glanced up at the sky and took hold of the metal bar that lead to the boardwalk, walking up the stairs. "I've not really been doing much. I bought a car. Learned to drive. I managed to get a car like a guardian, because the superior cars just don't fit my tastes."

Ocean Rescue || Jia & Woori

[jia-guardian]

[...] As he sunk down to the ground, she straightened up again, rubbing her hands off on her pants as if to clean them from the dirt of the male and peering down at him with contempt for a short second. She turned her attention away from him then, because he was as good as passed out anyway, and focused on Woori. Reaching out, she gently took hold of the younger girl’s upper arms, eyeing her in worry. “Are you alright?” she questioned softly, wanting to make sure first that Woori was okay before she would voice out her happiness for seeing the other again. After all; it had been months once more since their last meeting. Which was partly her fault as well this time around.

[inactivewoori-superior]

Woori turned around when she heard the familiar voice and blinked with wide eyes. She didn't really expect Jia to come all the way there, but she was suddenly glad she did. She sauntered over behind Jia and was about to say something when she saw that she was being protected by her friend. A small smile grew on her face and gratitude swelled in her chest as she witnessed the man getting kicked in the face by Jia. She chewed on her lip and when her arms were in the other woman's grip she nodded at the question. "Yeah I'm okay." She smiled and reached out to pull Jia into a small quick hug, "Thank you." She spoke calmly though slightly bothered by what happened. 

Focusing on Jia, Woori smiled wide and let out a low laugh, "I didn't know you would just appear out of it. I'm so glad to see you, you know." She playfully swat at the other and pouted. She saw since their last meeting they changed appearance quite a bit. Woori cut her hair again, and went from a blonde color back to brunette. Right now it was pulled back a little with a headband placed securely in her hair. She wanted to talk to Jia about things that happened, anything really. They were in for a catch up and this seemed like a good time than any,

Ocean Rescue || Jia & Woori

Woori found herself all the way at the beach. She finally broke down and bought herself a car before she even learned how to use it, but after a while and a lot of lessons she managed to drive everywhere. She learned to love the road, especially the highway. When she got on it that morning she didn’t know at the time where she’d end up, but it didn’t matter. She didn’t care. She just wanted to get away from everything. From the watchful eye of the other Superiors, to being guarded, from the inferiors working around her. She had only wanted some peace to herself. 

The ocean gave her that peace. The vast ocean ahead of her, hours from the main city. She wondered if she’d ever get out of this place. What would it feel like to advance or lose what you have in the world. Were other places like Nurturia, or are they completely different. She sighed, as she sat in the sand pulling her knees to her chest and just stared at the blue waves that continued to roll in endlessly, forever energized enough to never stop it seemed. If she jumped in and swam as far as she could, where would she end up? Drowning? In the seas of another country? What was out there. These were all thoughts she had to keep to herself, always. 

Woori hadn’t realized just how long she was driving until she glanced up at the sky and it was nearly sunset. The sky was a brilliant orange and purple. She could see the stars starting to peak out from behind the sky and it was beautiful. She wished she was a star rather than anything. A part of a constellation that has some important legend about. A brave warrior, who fought for her tribe..or something like that. But she wasn’t one. She never would be. 

So completely lost in her thoughts she barely noticed her phone going off. A reminder of what was supposed to be done that day. She sent a text to Jia out of not seeing her for a while, and partly a need for companionship. The last time she was around the guardian they had been on a boat speeding down the river. The memory caused her to smile. She took a picture of the sunset and sent that to Jia as well, allowing her to know exactly where she was. She stood up to turn around, nearly running into a guardian she’s never seen before. The close proximity told her he smelled of alcohol and had been drinking. It must’ve been his day off. 

“Excuse me.” She spoke politely and went to walk around him, when a hand clasped around her arm, tugging her back. 

“It’s my duty to protect you, you shouldn’t be out here on your own.” His voice slurred. Woori frowned and pried his hand off of her arm giving a small smile. 

“I can take care of myself. I don’t need a guardian.” 

“It’s my duty. Come with me.” He latched onto Woori’s arm again with a smile, showing his teeth. 

“No, really. It’s okay.” She spoke more deeper and angry so the male would back off a little bit, walking around him and back up toward the boardwalk, hopefully seeing the last of the male.

[inactivewoori-superior]

hey guys

I know I haven't been here in a really long time. I was hoping to just leave and come back when I was feeling more into it. It didn't really happen like that. I've decided to leave here, and if there is a future for Dystopian Seoul, I will definitely come back..probably as a new character. I lost my muse to be honest, and the smidgen of writers block didn't help. If you want to keep in contact you can find me here. 

I've had such a memorable time here as it was my first ever rp directory and so far the only one I've ever joined. I hope within time I'll be back brand new. :c

[...] Grinning over at Woori when the other glanced back, she lifted her free hand to show she was fine before her eyes were pulled to their surroundings again. The speed was much like driving a car, but the way they raced over the water had them hopping up and down occasionally and it gave the whole thing something new and unknown. She loved it. “This is amazing!” she therefore called out not long after, turning her gaze back to Woori for a moment. “It must be amazing to have a job that includes being out on the water every day!” The excitement was clearly visible in Jia’s expression and her grin showed that she wasn’t afraid at all. In fact, she was even more than willing to do this for a lot longer. “You think I could steer as well?”

[inactivewoori-superior]

 As they were gliding over the water, Woori smiled to herself enjoying the wind that whipped through her hair. She couldn't remember the last time she had actually been in a boat, but her memory of driving one was still fresh in her mind. She glanced around at their surroundings as well, but made sure to keep her focus on the water in front of her. She laughed quietly upon hearing Jia's voice and what she said. She slowed down just a bit and looked back at her friends expression. She was almost surprised to see the excitement on her face. "Ne, I'm sure people who have to work on the water every day might not think it's amazing." She laughed, and continued to slow down until they were just floating ontop of the water. She stepped away from the steering wheel and pointed to it. "Sure, go ahead and steer" She grinned and waited for Jia to step up to the steering wheel.

Lost Memories | Woori & Donghae

[donghae-guardian-deactivated201]

He smiled warmly at her girlish-like chuckle. It was still good to know that she could chuckle like that, like he remembered her. Maybe not so many things had changed about her through the years after all. “Yeah, I guess you’re right about that blissfully ignorant part.” He said, as he still looked down at his glass. The warm smile faded again, though, when she started to answer to his words. And he hummed and nodded at her question as he turned his head lightly back into her direction, without looking at her still. What she said was true, after all. He only would look up at her when she stated that it was okay to not be okay. Sending her a genuine small smile back upon seeing hers which slightly widened as she told him that she was also glad to see him back again.

“I’m not a great guy to talk about feelings and that sort of stuff.” He started talking again after a small silence in which his eyes had traveled away from her. “But I think you’re right, once again, with saying that it’s okay to not be okay.” Focusing back on her, a light smile formed on his lips. “So… I don’t know, if you’re in for a talk or need help one day… with anything really… I guess I can be there for you if you need that.” He concluded. His smile widening lightly at the end before he pressed his lips together after which he turned his head back to the bottle of wine on the table and went for another fill of his glass. “And want.” he added quickly then after he had thought over his previous words once more. Finding this whole situation a bit awkward to deal with and at the same time not because Woori still was a childhood friend of him. Who he has protected before from the big bad world. Only that big bad world has changed a bit now that they were grown-ups, but he still would like to be a friend of her in this world. That actually was still the same, only the settings had changed a bit for both of them.

[inactivewoori-superior]

"I'm always right." Woori said with a small nod, before adding "And that's not the superior in my talking." She grinned, and let out a small sigh. Her head tilted up toward nothing in particular. The light fading quickly it seemed, despite the already darkened sky from the storm. She reached over with a free hand and pat Donghae's back a few times with a short smile. She didn't actually remember how they got onto this serious subject, but she didn't like being depressed any longer than she had to be. She nodded again at what he said and smiled, "If you ever need to talk, I'm sure I'll have time to listen as well. Thank you" She shifted in her seat, taking a large gulp of the wine and looked up at him. She could see that it wasn't something that he said regularly which made her smile at him. "I suppose we should exchange numbers then?" She asked, fishing in her pockets for her cellphone, finding it and pulling it out, dropping it onto the table in front of them.

Woori finished up her third glass and decided to herself that would be enough for at least a little while. She stood up from the couch and shuffled over toward the light switches, turning some on, and stood in front of Donghae for a moment. "I'd offer you something to eat, but as you can see, I don't think any kind of food is in here...I'm hungry though, so maybe someone will deliver some food." She scratched her head, spinning into a slow circle, about to dance to music in her head.

Jia had been planning to just walk along when all of a sudden the younger one had pulled her along into what seemed to be a mad dash for the girl’s usual composure. But it didn’t bother her much, it wasn’t like physical exercise was anything new for her. So she followed along with Woori with a slight grin on her face, jogging down the bridge and then towards the place where one of the people seemingly owning the boat was situated as well. Once they arrived, Woori let go of her and she easily came to a stop, her breathing not having accelerated but her smile having grown a bit wider regardless. She kept her distance to let Woori have the conversation with the man.

When the younger girl turned back to her and spoke again, however, Jia’s grin grew a notch more and she looked at the boat for a moment. The surprise on her face was a genuine one and she looked back at Woori for a moment as if to verify the situation. “Really? You’re going to steer the boat?” she questioned, her grin wide and happy. But she did not hesitate anymore after that to actually step onto the machine, holding on to the railing once she was on the suddenly unstable surface but still grinning widely nonetheless. She had never actually been on a boat in her life and odds were that wouldn’t happen either any time soon, so this little adventure definitely was one she was going to cherish for a lifetime.

[inactivewoori-superior]

Woori put on a small grin toward Jia and gave a nod, "I'll be the captain on this boat, until we return it to it's owner." She said, hopping on and turning the boat on, hearing it start up. She laughed speeding away from the dock and down the river some. "Make sure you stay seated, and don't slip." She hummed, letting the breeze whip her hair around gently. She hadn't been on a boat in such a long time, she thought she might have forgotten how to drive one. The fact that she couldn't drive a car, but could a boat had her laugh to herself. She glanced up when they were going under the bridge, and quickly looked behind her to check on Jia. She was grateful to have such a good time today, with her friend. If it wasn't for her she'd be in her house doing nothing all day. 

[inactivewoori-superior]

ooc;

Hey guys. I'm really sorry I always have to post these things occasionally. I have writers block. Also..I'm on medicine and if I skip a few doses I'm like...aljfhhsa and don't want to do anything, mostly because I don't /feel/ like it. I don't know how to explain. I'll be back soon. I'm sorry!

Woori’s words served Jia’s imagination not much better and for a moment she looked at the girl taxingly, as if to figure out if she would really do ‘whatever she said’ as she had so nicely put it. The pout had a small smile appear on her face yet she chastised herself with the knowledge that the other was still a Superior. So instead of replying, she shrugged off the subject and walked on. Woori made another pirouette, making the smile come back to her face full force and then a chuckle left her as she spotted the younger’s grin. The next question had her sighing lightly but then she suddenly came up with an idea as her gaze wandered over a little boat on the river.

“What about a boat ride? Have you ever been on a boat?” she inquired, eyes going back to the younger with a happy twinkle in them. She had never been on a boat herself because they weren’t just open to anyone, but surely Woori with her status of Superior would be able to command any person with a boat they’d find to just bring them up and down the river a small end so they could do that. It sounded exciting to her, yet one of the less dangerously exciting things on the list in her mind which was exactly right for things to do with her younger friend.

[inactivewoori-superior]

Woori tilted her head curiously at Jia when she didn't really answer her. It just made her curious about anything Jia had wanted to do. She followed along next to her friend and peered over to the boat on the river. With a nod she smiled at jia and let out a small laugh. She wasn't going to let her question go that easily. She'd just ask her later anyway. "I've been on a few boats growing up." Woori smiled, and grabbed hold of Jia's hand to pull her along, almost in an excited jog. "Excuse me!" Woori called out to someone nearby the boat and smiled, waiting for them to turn around so she could talk to them. 

Letting go of Jia's hand, Woori took the initiative and spoke to the person for a couple of moments before turning back to her friend with a small grin on her face. "Let's go, I'm going to drive us." She winked playfully and held her hand out toward the boat so Jia could step on, "let's go m'lady."

Lost Memories | Woori & Donghae

[donghae-guardian-deactivated201]

(...) “People do change their smiles often. I guess that’s part of the whole growing up thing. I’m sorry you had to see my changing smile, Ri.” Pausing for a moment he again showed her the previous light smile before he then lightly turns his head away from her. “I won’t pretend then anymore that I’m happy all the time. But, don’t think that I wasn’t happy to meet you again today. It was just the talking about my life and the whole marriage thing, plus the fact that you didn’t seem quite enthusiastic about your life, that made my smile change.” He admitted. Swallowing after he had spoken and then turning his eyes back down to his glass. Feeling relieved, actually, that he could speak this honest to her.

[inactivewoori-superior]

Woori wanted to turn away from Donghae when their eyes met. Even though she told him he didn't have to be happy, she wouldn't really follow her own advice. It wasn't that it was so much weird to be so honest to someone that was almost stranger to her, but it felt like it needed to be said. She stayed quiet as long as Donghae had been. She wondered briefly if anybody was ever truly happy. It never seemed like anyone really was. Woori self medicated in order to get any type of feelings out of her system. When she wasn't slightly buzzed or on some kind of high she wasn't something someone would want to be around. She let out a sigh and finally released Donghae's chin, leaving her hand to rest upon her lap and look down at it for a few moments. She listened to what he had to say and ended up letting out a girlish chuckle. "I think it just appeared to be better back then. We were so blissfully ignorant to what our lives would become it seemed like we were happy." She looked up to look at him, wanting to smile but it was more of a sad one if anything. 

"Of course people change their smile, but it's not always normal for one to frown and then to smile again so drastically, is it? She asked, flicking a small piece of hair away from his forehead, before leaning back against the armrest of the couch. She nodded in understanding at his words. "I get it. I suppose...the grass is always greener on the other side. I can have anything I want, yet I still have things missing from my life." She said, folding the hem of her shirt into her hands. "It's okay, to not be okay." Her lips curved into a genuine small smile when she looked up at the male. "It just makes you human." Woori leant forward, and poured herself a third glass. She took a small sip and swirled the contents into a circle. "I too am glad that I met you once again, here.'

It was but a sentence but Jia instantly rescheduled her evening so that she would be able to take Woori along with her to the tallest building she knew and go to the roof. She’d find a way, get a permit for one of the other fake reason to get up there and bring her friend along. It was almost impossible to imagine that Woori hadn’t even been on the bridge in her life doing silly things like dancing a bit. It was all Jia lived by; those moments in between work where she would play around in a club, a bar, on the streets of the city. It was all the fun she had in her life because she’d never be able to change her job to something she really wanted to do - like being a dance teacher for example. And she figured life wouldn’t be much easier for a Superior like Woori, trying to take care of a whole chain of famous hotels in her father’s name. So it was an easily made decision to give Woori an adventurous experience like standing on top of a building, and of course she would not say a word about it to the other but instead drag her from whatever plans she would have that evening and take her out.

Yet first there was a different question shot at her and the first answer that came up in her surprised her way more than any question whatsoever could do. Stilling in her position for a moment, the smile faded away to a neutral expression as she seemed to become completely unaware of her surroundings, but then it returned full form and Jia grinned at Woori easily. “Oh I think that the things I want to do that I’ve never done are a little too edgy for you,” she retorted teasingly. “So let’s instead walk a bit further down this bridge before going back. We came here to walk a bit, after all.” Motioning over to the long bridge ahead of them, she easily kept the hold on Woori’s arm with her own, kind of pulling the other into movement along with her.

[inactivewoori-superior]

Woori imagined herself at the roof of a building. She could almost taste the bit of fear she had of heights, but didn't think anything of it. She was a really sheltered person and with this small little outing with Jia she realized she's never done much in her life. Not that it was her fault. She was expected to act a certain way growing up, and with a traumatic experience on her back it caused her to pull away almost completely. She let fear run her life most days, and she figured it was time to let herself go. She was grateful for being out with her friend that day, but even as she was grateful she kept it to herself. She would thank her later when they were just about to be parted. 

Woori looked at the older girl when she asked what she wanted to do, and tilted her head to wait for an answer. An easy grin appeared on her face after receiving the answer. She stuck out her bottom lip at the teasing and playfully pouted. "Come on. Give me a chance. I might surprise you with what I'm capable of. As long as you're with me, I will do whatever you say." She said with a nudge of her arm and allowed Jia to pull her along further onto the bridge. She did wonder what kind of things Jia wanted to do. She once again held onto Jia's hand and did a slow pirouette, with a grin. "You have to do something exciting with me~"

Returning Property | Kyujong & Woori

[ex-kyujong-median-blog]

Kyujong caught sight of Woori stepping into the ambulance as well and it seemed to be what he’d been waiting for because mere moments later, he blacked out, going limp on the table they’d placed him on and becoming defenceless against the ambulance workers’ movements. He opened his eyes here and there, not fully aware of what was going on but still seeing ambulance workers and Woori by his side. When he finally did regain consciousness, he was put on a hospital bed or at least that’s what it probably was because he found himself in a white room, sinking away in the comfortable softness of a white pillow and his body resting on an equally white mattress. What he couldn’t fathom, however, was how the hell he got there and what had happened to him to get there. In fact, all he did know was that he’d been fixing a clock together with his father last he could remember and apart from it blowing up in their face there was nothing that could have happened with the device to make him end up in a hospital. Frowning lightly at nothing in particular, he turned his head to look at the room, convinced he’d find his parents there and they’d be more than happy to see him awake. Yet there was nothing of the sorts, not even a card or flowers on the bedside table. And that’s when he started to really wonder what on earth was going on.

[inactivewoori-superior]

Woori was fast asleep in the waiting room. She had been waiting for what seemed like a week, but was really hours. She felt a nudge to her shoulder and opened her eyes, seeing an orderly looking down at her with half a frown and smile; if possible. She briefly told her that Woori could go in to check up on Kyujong, and in an instant Woori was on her feet and straightening her clothes out. She had been worried, because after all she had caused this for hiim. Hesitantly she moved to his room and peeked her head inside catching a glimpse at the male. Shuffling forward she eventually stood at the edge of his bed and fingered the bottom of the sheet almost nervously. "Kyujong? They said I could come see you." She said, almost nervously but managed to look up at him with a small smile. "I'm sorry this all happened, and I..cause the concussion"
