( Jaejoong’s NPC has the face claim of Kim Boah of SPICA )
Melody Kim is probably the only person who brings him joy. If we’re speaking current day, it’d be her. He loves her, a lot actually. She’s the only person who has stuck with him this far, but her venomous banter and obvious contrast to his own personality keeps him entertained. Jaejoong does his best to protect her, and she does the same for him. Her own feelings aren’t exactly known, but he assumes she cares for him. Maybe not love, but care a lot.
“Why are you laughing?” He asked, he was out of breath. I looked at the monsters behind us-- what the fuck.
It was all a blur really.
If you’re reading this, it can only mean two things: One, I’m dead and you found this while looting my body. Or two: You have terrible luck and bad taste in reading selections-- aka I lost my diary. But I’m writing this down because I guess I want to recount how I got here. How I’ve survived this long.
Funny to think, before all this shit I was some after school club Taekwondo instructor at some snob fest high school in Gangnam. Now, I’m out here killing shit and skulking around like I”m Laura Croft. I think I have no regrets, in some weird way I’m happy but then again not really. It’s complicated, my mother would say something sexist like, “Well we are women after all.” Stupid huh? My mind is all over the place.
Also the cold season is pretty much through, and now spring is here. Around this time I met Jaejoong. It was a warm spring, seems like forever ago. But it was after Jenny died-- well turned. I shot my own sister in the head-- me. How could I go that low- I- I didn’t even realize she was bitten, she went to lay down. A few minutes later she’s charging at me, I- hesitated but took the shot and she went down. But the sound brought more naturally, like a moth to the flame.
I stood there. I killed my sister, crazy right? Years ago, that would’ve made news. I wonder about now. Me- her sister, I killed her and I saw her-- I just.
It was fuckin’ insane you know?
The world was over and I never thought about it that way, until then. I had one job and that was to protect my sister. I failed at that, I was failure before this and that moment proved I was still a failure. I stood there and waiting for them to come for me, I was like fuck it. No family, no life. I was done. But honestly, what happened next to surprised me. The walkers started falling like dominoes and it was like I didn’t hear the gunshots, I couldn’t hear Jaejoong shouting at me to run. I couldn’t hear anything, but I looked at my arm, fucker grazed me. When did my face all wet with tears? I didn’t know-- I didn’t know anymore. I remember looking down to see his hand holding mine, pulling me along before he just screaming at me to run.
That’s when I snapped to and charged on, I was-- laughing. Just my luck- just my fucking luck. “Why are you laughing?” He asked out of breath. I looked at the monsters behind us, “You’re an asshole that’s why.” I shouted as we kept running.
I never ran so fast in my life. When we finally stopped, I was coughing wheezing. I looked around, as I adjusted the bag around my shoulder. “Who the fuck do you think you are?” I almost screamed till a hand clamped over my mouth, pushing him off of me, I pushed him back a few more times. “I asked you a question pretty boy, now answer it.” My gun to his head cocked, ready, and unfortunately for him he was out of ammo so his hands went up in response. “I saved your life, you were just standing there.” He said to me, and I laughed, “I know that was the point.” He looked at me confused, I remember that face. “My sister fucking turned and I shot her in the head. I..” I stopped talking for a moment, “..I gave up for a moment.”
“Why would you want that?”
“I guess.. I-- I just.. this world.. you know, I just wanted something out of it... but not this.”
“I can give you anything you want, just come with me.”
Seeing the snowflakes drifting down from the sky, Jaejoong only sighed softly his breath so cold, wisps escaping from his red lips. Following behind, Sulli he only smiled, when she mentioned the word surprise not that he was scared, the girl was tall but he was sure if this was some sort of ruse he could potentially over power her. When she stopped in her tracks, and turned swiftly on her heels—- Jae opened his mouth to say something before looking above his head and tilted it, “Ah.. I never pegged you for the romantic. A kiss in the snow?” The mistletoe that was above the two, amused him a bit and he leaned in first brushing his nose against hers. It must’ve been cold, and he wasn’t the type to shy away from physical contact if it was offered in any shape or form. Closing his eyes for a moment, as he pressed his lips against hers and his arms slowly encircling her waist bring her closer to him. Her arm lowered from above them to wrap around his neck and he swayed the gently together.
Not sure how far he should go, he kept the kiss as innocent as he could. Because he knew sometimes he lacked self control, and pulled away leaving one more kiss on her forehead. As gentle as a kiss he pressed against her forehead, “Merry Christmas, right?” He says quietly, dusting the snow from her coats. “A kiss to warm each other up.” Chuckling softly, pecking at her lips before taking her small hand into his, and she smiled at him.
"Let’s go back alright, it’s dangerous out here you know?" Wrinkling his nose at her before urging her to walk alongside him.
"Merry Christmas." They both said as quietly to each other, as they walked as if it were some sort of prayer- maybe the only comfort they’d share for a while.
