“alright, when she calls you this week i’m going to ask her. i need proof that your answer is absolutely legitimate,” was he really going to harass jae’s mother? no. was he going to embarrass his best friend in front of his mother? absolutely. jae scolding him only made him laugh. “you’re so cute trying to scold me about snacks you steal from work. you thief,” ji-hun mocks pulling out his phone to call 911. “should i make a call or? i’d hate for you to go to jail for something so minor,” smirk lined his lips as the phone touched his ear. “yes dispatch sending an officer to arrest jaesun for thievery. stole snacks from some poor soul,” barely making it through his fake call without laughing. once he set his phone down he absolutely lost it. oh his stomach certainly hurt from how hard he was laughing right now. “i should feel offended right now, but considering how soft you are. i’m just going to let this slide,” holding his stomach he hunches over to catch his breath. his face a tad bit red now. they were definitely flushed. in mock offense he sets a hand over his heart. “hear that heart you’ve been broken too many times, and here goes jaesun just breaking it once more. a dick?” pointing a finger at his said best friend he wags it bag and forth. “i’ll have you know sir. i am not a dick maybe an asshole, but never something so easily hurt,” his tone might have been a bit serious, but his face wore that famous sarcastic smile. it was quickly turned to an amused one as he rolled his hues. those dark hues looked from the tv to his friend. “i would never say such things to her. i’m not some creepy dude who lives with his mom and gets off to cheap porn,” ji shrugged his shoulders. he instead lived with a roommate, and watched free porn. maybe that was worse? chuckling once more his boxy grin made an appearance. talking about selene only made him amused. she avoided him like the plague sometimes or just down right tried to make him jealous. “mm, it’s kind of fun. she avoids me, i make her jealous, and then well you know. not ideal, but it’s fun. i don’t understand why she doesn’t like me,” oh he knew exactly why. playing dumb though was his best bet though. “probably never jae. you know how i am,” which meant guarded, and yeah stupid. “the one time i brought someone home you went into dad mode. like sir,” he gave him a teasing glare before laughing it off. ji-hun smirked quirking his eyebrows before chuckling. “mhm. i’ll be seeing a certain female around here again. unless that best friend of hers beats you too it,” ji certainly wasn’t ready to hear the drama from that. “probably not, but i’ll just keep letting myself think so,” his ex was living it up in california from what her social medias claimed. sometimes he didn’t understand why he still followed her. maybe out of desperation. turning his frown upside down he bites his lip. “well, i think karma would certainly laugh at my carvings on your gravestone,” shooting the other a wink while trying not to laugh once more. taking one of the cookies he slips it out of the wrapper. “then just ask her out. why sleep with her roommate? jaesun are you trying to make your life into a kdrama?” opening the cookie the paper fell out into his lap. picking it up his eyes darted over the words in pure amusement.  “ nothing astonishes men so much as common sense and plain dealing,” it read as he gazed at his best friend. pursing his lips together trying not to smile. “a competition? jaejae, you’re going too loose you silly fool. get ready to spend hundreds on my fancy snacks,”

jae narrowed his eyes at his best friend, trying to discern whether or not his threat was based on any real level of intent or if he was simply bluffing in order to tease him. because, as ridiculous as the idea sounded, and as tempted as he was to simply wave it off as far-fetched, he had learned long ago not to dismiss any of ji’s ideas as impossible. “ and risk losing your good favor with my mom? you would never. you like being her favorite far too much for that. ” having decided that he wasn’t serious, he didn’t hesitate to tease him. however, the laughter that had tumbled from between his lips as a result was short-lived as he found himself gasping in mock offense only a moment later when ji-hun accused him of stealing all of their snacks from work; an accusation that was, of course, entirely true. “ I steal snacks from my place of work - snacks that you love, that you eat during your midnight cravings - all to make you happy, and this is how you repay me? ” even as he was attempting to appear hurt, he couldn’t stop the laughs that intermittently tumbled past his lips and he could actually feel his cheeks beginning to ache from just how much he’d been smiling. “ I hope the cops are coming for my accomplice as well, if they’re on their way. because my first crime would’ve never happened without you - a fact I’ll be more than happy to share with them when they arrive. ” he huffed stubbornly, hand settled onto his chest as he tried to regain his composure. “ are you saying that if I called you an asshole, you wouldn’t take any offense to it at all? ” tilting his head curiously, he listened to ji explain the delicate dynamic he’d found with the girl from his school. it sounded complicated to him but, then again, he wasn’t exactly in any place to be judging anyone for relationships that were too complicated. “ it’s fun until she makes you jealous in return, you mean. ” he teased with a roll of his eyes, already able to imagine just how easy it would be for the other girl to get under his skin. if she wanted to. “ hey, I had to make sure that they had good intentions with you. can you blame me? ” okay, maybe he was a little too protective. maybe. but it was only because he cared. “ oh, I’m sure he’s trying. he’s been waiting for me to fuck things up with her forever. I guess we just have to hope that the feeling isn’t mutual. ” even the mention of uriah had him in an immediately foul mood, the thought of the other boy putting him on edge more than he was comfortable admitting. and maybe it wasn’t fair, maybe it wasn’t really his fault, but he couldn’t help it. “ I can’t just ask her out when I’m the one that broke up with her in the first place. ” even if he could, he couldn’t imagine molan ever saying yes. and even if she did, he couldn’t imagine a scenario in which the two of them didn’t end up apart again a few months down the line. “ but, if I was going to try to turn my life into a kdrama, would you watch it? ” he added with a groan before blinking dumbly at ji as he read his fortune aloud. “ did ... that fortune cookie just call both of us idiots? ” even the question was enough to pull another laugh out of him.

hearing that she still made him nervous made a wide grin appear once more. her heart was fluttering not without a bit of ache following it. oh how she wanted to cry right now. “nervous around me? why? i’ve seen you naked,” she chuckles shaking her head at her own words. why must she be like this? as stated before her mouth has absolutely no filter. one would call it confidence. she called it word vomit which was not something to be confident about. molan fidgeted with her fingers while trying to keep a straight face. it faltered as her laughter reigned through the room. “she’s had a dozen hints. at this point she’s just desperate. maybe we should find her a boyfriend, girlfriend, just something,” she spoke between her endless giggles. speaking on old times was only making her laughter more frequent. she couldn’t help how happy she was feeling. it was rather great to feel like this. when the last few months had been absolute hell. she didn’t have jae or uriah to keep her sane. “seriously poor girl probably writes fanfiction about you. i’m going to check wattpad later,” she teased running her thumb over his bottom lip. her fingers moving on their own accord. a sad reminder that she couldn’t do this all the time like she used to. her giddy mood sunk a bit when he mentioned other “donuts.” honestly molan hadn’t even thought about anyone other then him. she really hated herself for it. why did she love this person so much when he was always ready to leave her. regret always pressed her when her best friend looked at her the way the blond looked at jae. sighing she shook her head. “no. no other donuts,” letting her hand fall while averting her gaze. she refused to be vulnerable but it was starting to become a fight. one she wasn’t winning. working up the courage to smile she nods. “maybe i’ll bring ki with me. i’m sure he misses you,” she knew her brother secretly saw her ex whenever he wanted, but she’d play along. ki had a weird relationship with uriah and jae. sometimes that made things harder for her as well. chuckling once more letting her hues fall back upon him. “i’ll get you a new one. one with the leather fringe. it’ll make you look more badass,”

arching an eyebrow mo tries not to say what’s on her mind. his words only making it ten times harder to keep her mouth and hormones in check. tsking she clicks her tongue against the rout of her mouth. “easy?”  the smirk thatwas now placed on her lips couldn’t be helped. a smirk that was more challenging then sarcastic. “definitely not easy,” letting the words leave her lips she really wasn’t surprised by them. better then the other thoughts trying to slip through her teeth.  “i don’t think that’s a habit you could live without,” plopping down on the bed she lays back against the fluffy pillows laughing fully knowing his eyes are following her. oh she planned on it. she replied in her mind. his words only making her heart beat faster. her cheeks flushed as she felt a bit flustered by him. damn it. averting her gaze once more it goes to the ceiling. “cruel? i could never be. not my fault you can’t resist my charm,” giggling it takes away the warmth of her cheeks for a different reason. propping herself on her elbows mo finds his gaze once more. motioning to her body with her hand giving him a cute smile. “my body is your canvas jae. paint or ink it the way you want,”

a surprised laugh bubbled past jae’s lips at molan’s unexpected way of questioning his nerves. and, as ridiculous as it was, the sentiment succeeded in making him relax again. “ for some reason, I think getting naked in front of you was less nerve-racking than ... whatever it is we’re doing now. ” he shrugged, a furrow between his brows as he considered the truth of that thought; being friends with her was so much harder than being more had ever been. “ that’s not a bad idea, actually. you know anyone who’s single? ji is the first one to come to mind for me but ... something tells me the two of them wouldn’t last two minutes without going at each other’s throats. ” if the nostalgic thoughts passing between the two of them wasn’t already enough to make him smile, the sound of her laugh would’ve certainly been. he’d missed that sound - perhaps more than he was even willingly to admit to himself. “ you sound a little excited to read those stories. are you sure you’re not just checking for yourself? ” with her as close as she was, her thumb running across his bottom lip, it was impossible to ignore the pang of regret that lingered just below the surface of his chest. when he was alone, he could almost convince himself that he’d done the right thing - that he’d only left her before she could leave him - but now, with his gaze almost eagerly gliding across the features of her face and catching on every flicker of hurt, there was no denying the truth; he’d made a mistake, one born of his own fear, and hurt them both in the process. “ there will be. eventually. ” he was sure of that much; one day, probably soon, she would find someone new and he would have to watch as she slowly came to believe what he’d been saying all along. she deserved better. “ either misses me or hates me, I’m never quite sure with him. but he’s welcome too, of course. as long as he’s willing to wait until after my shift if he wants to fight me, of course. ” he teased, eager to dispel the wounded expression he’d accidentally put onto her features. “ leather fringe? so badass cowboys are your type, huh? good to know. ”

“ living without that habit would certainly be significantly less fun, I’ll admit. ” as he suspected she had expected, his eyes never left her form - not even as she made her way across the room, settling onto the bed beside him at a distance that was almost cruelly short. all it would take is one brave movement, one reach of his arm, and he could touch her again - could put an end to the almost never ending loop of ‘what if what if what if’ that haunted his every thought. “ mm, maybe not. but you could certainly make it a little easier for me, if you didn’t enjoy torturing me so much. ” he knew that he should look away, should stop his eyes from trailing down the long length of her throat as she glanced at the ceiling above her, and yet, by the time she turned her gaze back onto him a few moments later, his eyes were exactly where she’d left them - his attention entirely hers. “ anything I want, hm? you sure you want to give me that much creative freedom? could end up putting my name somewhere on you. maybe.. ” swallowing, he pushed himself up onto his knees so that he was knelt beside the bed. at this point, his pretense of looking through her belongings underneath the bed was almost entirely forgotten. but, as his gaze did another slow once over of her form, he couldn’t bring himself to care. after all, whether or not she was aware of it, everything he’d come back for was laid out right in from of him. “ right here? ” humming thoughtfully, as if he was genuinely considering the tattoo, he let his finger reach out to gently brush along a spot on her thigh.

I’m losing my mind why is he so hot

[jaesunfms]

euphcrix​:

“you honestly just don’t want to share. it’s ok, i see your mother never taught you how too. sharing is caring jaesun,” putting an emphasis on his friends name to let him know he was playing. ji-hun very rarely called the other by his government name. if he did well it was either because he was mad or in really big trouble. “not intimidating? now you take that back. i’m very intimidating. don’t let my smile fool you. this is why i keep my resting bitch face on at all times. going to have people thinking i’m soft,” who was he kidding. he was a complete soft boy. ok maybe not all the time, but with his best friends. he was a giant teddy bear. he lightly pushed his friend when he nudged his shoulder. huffing he shook his head once more. “a little?” ji scoffed all while trying not to laugh. an amused expression couldn’t be helped. watching the other clench his jaw was all too familiar. tossing a biscuit at the other it hit him square in the forehead. in return only made ji laugh so hard his back hitting the back of the couch. “you got it bad sir. not going to lie molan is hot. don’t kill me for saying that though,” he could barely speak his sentence from laughing so much. bringing a hand up to fan himself so he could calm down. quickly nodding to agree with jae. “so don’t be so honest until someone actually likes me? then how will they like me for me? sounds like a them problem if you ask me,” his chopsticks picked up another good size amount of food. ji squinted his eyes as if to really give his question an actual serious answer. popping the rice into his mouth he shook his head. “nah just casual sex. pretty sure i’m just being used, but i guess it’s mutual. she can’t stand me because i’m top of the class, and she’s second. i’m sure you can some what understand that? we argue more then talk. how that turned into whatever we got going i really don’t know. can’t complain though,” maybe he was being a bit more open about the situation then he needed to be, but jae did ask. “bring someone to meet you? ha!” his brown hues rolled knowing just asking him such a thing would ever be possible. ji smirked, “nervous? maybe you’re right. my voice is pretty deep. maybe it scared her. i’ll try again. i don’t want to look desperate though.” even though he was. the girl intrigued him he really hated to admit that. he was never the one to chase someone. “jae, how many times have you given me finger guns in public?” giving the other a skeptical look for being a bit hypocritical. he absolutely knew he was joking, but he couldn’t help himself. shifting into a softer setting he set his chopsticks down. ji reached a hand out to set on jae’s shoulder. “look bro you don’t have to explain it to me. i went through the same thing with destiny, and look now she’s 3000 miles away. will not answer my texts, and i’m just pretty sure at this point just changed her number,” the hurt in his voice couldn’t be helped at the mention of his own ex. “if you don’t think it’ll work i believe you,” ji was sure it wasn’t the end for the two. yet, he’d support his best friend regardless. ji brushed his dark locks out of his eyes all while smirking. oh this was too good. tapping a finger against his chin his eyes widened. “ok so how about “died from sleeping with exes roommate. ex is a certified badass: here lies jaseun,” chuckling he starts picking for the fortune cookies. “i don’t know how you got into that mess. are you sure you just didn’t want an excuse to be close to molan? i don’t know. daphne though? shame sir shame. if you make it out alive i’lll buy groceries for a good month or two. since i’m sure you’ll crash and burn i’m not too worried. i wish you luck. if molan kicks your ass please tape it,”

“ y’know, for some reason, I think that maybe when my mother taught me to share she wasn’t exactly talking about sharing my partners with you ji-hun. ” jaesun returned his friend’s playful emphasis with a roll of his eyes. “ besides, you’re going to have to get better about not eating all of the snacks we keep around here before you give me a lecture on sharing. ” he added, reprimanding him with mock seriousness. “ I know you far too well to think you’re anywhere near intimidating anymore. but, I’ll admit, that if someone didn’t know you, you might be a little intimidating. happy? ” he conceded to a compromise, despite the fact that he was fairly certain that both of them knew it was hardly true. ji could be difficult to figure out at first, sure, but who wasn’t? and the truth of the matter was that, once you knew him, he was by far the softest person that jae knew. it was refreshing and, although he only ever teased him for it, it was honestly one of his favorite aspects of ji. “ i take back everything I just said. you’re not soft; you’re a dick. ” he grumbled as he felt the biscuit ji had tossed at him hit him directly in his forehead. although, even as he tried to seem upset, he couldn’t help the smile that twitched at the corner of his lips as he watched ji laugh so hard that he was falling back against the couch. “ as long as you keep that thought to yourself, you’re safe. you share it with her though and I make no promises. ” finally caving in to ji’s infectious laugh, he let his facade drop long enough to actually laugh along with him. “ yeah, I get that. sometimes disliking someone enough can be as powerful as loving them, in terms of what it does to chemistry. and as long as you’re cool with it and that’s what you want too, then I guess it’s a good thing? a little bit messy, maybe, but at least it gives you an outlet for when you two start butting heads. ” he shrugged, hoping that the situation was truly as under control as ji described it. “ what? are you really never going to bring anyone back to me? ” he knew it was probably a long shot, that ji wasn’t exactly the type to do things like that, but he hoped regardless. “ hey, better to look desperate than be sitting here a week from now still wondering what would’ve happened if you’d tried, right? worst case, she blows you off and you let it go afterward. ” he attempted to encourage him, knowing how rare it was for ji to even consider chasing after someone. if he was doing so now, this girl had to at least be worth the shot. “ I’m not answering that. ” he murmured, dismissing ji’s claims momentarily before begrudgingly lifting his hands up to shoot finger guns directly at ji across the couch. “ you really think she’d change her number? ” momentarily sobered at the sound of the hurt in ji’s voice, he found himself speaking a little softer as he shifted his focus onto ji’s problems instead of his own. however, as quickly as the sincere moment had come, it was gone and he found himself laughing again as he watched ji gleefully attempt to figure out what should be written on his gravestone when his entire exchange with daphne inevitably blew up in his face. “ I think you’re having a little too much fun figuring out the best way to call me an idiot. ” he pointed out playfully, holding his hand out in a silent request for whichever fortune cookie ji didn’t pick. “ I don’t know, maybe you’re right; I might’ve just wanted an excuse to get close to her again. ” he admitted with a shrug, before narrowing his eyes. “ I’m going to make it out of this alive just to prove you wrong now; it’s a competition and you know I never pass on one of those. especially if the consolation prize is you buying groceries for a few months. ”

euphcrix​:

when he leaned into her touch a small smile couldn’t be helped. her heart beat a little fast at the small action. it had become a habit of hers one she didn’t have unless she was with him. maybe it’s because she had grown so used to taking care of him. without him around she really had to fill a void. one that was not easily filled. “that’s because you have a habit of running your fingers through your hair. especially when you’re nervous,” molan couldn’t help but bite her lip mid smirk. being this close to him was a bit intoxicating. the proximity and the smell of his cologne was enough to make her blush. her thoughts easily betraying her. “well if she would have simply left you alone. I wouldn’t have to be so scary. I will certainly come pay her a visit soon. you should give her my number just to hear the surprise in her voice when she realizes it’s me,” just picturing it was enough to make her chuckle. there we so many times Molan traumatized her. as well her constant pda with jae just to make her even more pissed. “I remember her trying to watch us make out in your studio. she certainly is a weird one,” rolling her light brown hues before her expression softened. his coworkers did come on a little strong. then again molan wasn’t oblivious to her looks. she just never paid them any attention. unless of course when they offered food. she would say a quick thank you and go about her day. mo let her hand rest on jae’s cheek before coming to cup his chin. “those men could never compare to you. no matter how many gifts they give me. I only have eyes for you,” pulling her hand away she gave him a thumbs up. “just admit those donuts were freaking delicious,” taking a serious moment to a more relaxed her lips formed into a grin. even with him claiming that she was welcome back at the shop. molan wasn’t one hundred percent that she would. it wasn’t the same as before. “i’ll see when i can this week. unless that’s too soon?” dancing around what the other was comfortable with was kind of weird. she just had to accept she couldn’t barge into jae’s life like she used to. a  playful, guilty look came to her face as she nodded. “yeah, you know i can’t stand dust bunnies. someone’s got to get down and dirty, and it’s not going to be me,” she assured all while wagging her index finger at him. giving him a small smile of her own she nodded. “only sometimes. you know i don’t buy myself much clothes. i improvised, and your shirts are comfy,” it wasn’t a lie the female really didn’t buy clothes often. her favorite shredded jeans were the same ones she had in high school. raising an eyebrow, “i thought you wanted your stuff? plus, that’s a lie it looks damn good on you.”

“so what you’re saying is you like making me and other people unable to resist you? sounds unfair if you ask me,” she playfully nudged his shoulder. “or you just have fun making my hormones and heart loose absolute control. either way that’s still unfair, and completely rude,” chuckling her eyes never left him. seeing how relaxed he got once her fingers touched his skin was bringing her more joy then she imagined. just joking around like this was enough to give her peace. why wasn’t all their conversations this easy? wasn’t he here to get something? oh yeah, a notebook! all their playful banter was completely distracting her from helping him. at the moment though she really didn’t mind. jae was one distraction she’d never loose interest in. molan smirked as her tongue wet her lips. “ok maybe it is pretty cool, but at least you can show yours it looks great. definitely compliments your tattoos. you’ve got a total bad boy look going on,” and molan was drooling mentally. the little inner voice was really saying things she couldn’t say out loud. at least she was trying to hold back some of them anyway. sometimes her brain moved faster than her mouth. her stupid heart jumped when his finger captured hers. her breathing caught for a moment. maybe he did still have an effect on her.  “oh really? should i get my own sleeve? maybe a thigh tat? now that’d be pretty hot,” was she challenging him right now? maybe. watching jae tattoo anything near her thighs was enough to make her head run wild. maybe this was a bad idea. seeing jae laugh only made herself laugh. it was too contagious for her not too. “encouraging teenagers who are already filled with raging hormones. don’t tell me you stop by the high school, and hand out condoms as well?” 

hearing molan talk about his habits with such confidence, an admission of just how completely the two of them knew nearly every detail of each other, was somewhat bittersweet; he couldn’t decide if he enjoyed the fact that parts of him still lingered in her thoughts or if it made his heart ache to know that it wasn’t necessarily his place anymore. “ well, you always have made me nervous. guess some things never change, huh? ” he chuckled, the sound far more relaxed and casual than he truly felt. “ next time she asks for my number, which will almost undoubtedly be during my next shift, I’ll hand her yours instead of finding another excuse. let her call and talk to you instead; maybe she’ll finally get the hint then. ” he wasn’t sure if she would, honestly, or if their plan would only lead to him having to explain why molan was still picking up his phone when they weren’t even together anymore. but, either way, the smile that the entire thing brought onto molan’s face made the risk worth it. “ oh, god; don’t remind me. I thought all of our pda would’ve upset her but, after that whole fiasco, I think maybe she enjoyed it a little more than we expected. ” his nose scrunched up in distaste at the memory. however, the expression quickly softened as molan’s hand cupped his chin, giving him very little choice to do anything but meet her gaze. “ you mean you used to only have eyes for me. now, though, you might let your eyes wander for some more of those donuts, right? ” he wasn’t sure if he was correcting her for his sake or her own, wasn’t sure whether he needed the reminder as to why this couldn’t work or if he just wanted her to tell him that he was wrong, but, whatever his reason, he felt his own stomach sink as the words left his lips. “ they were very good donuts though, to be fair. I can’t blame you. ” he added his agreement afterward, hoping to somehow lighten the mood that he had sort of unintentionally sobered. “ no, that’s not too soon at all. I know that you’re busy but, whenever you have the time, come on by. ” it was odd, to have to schedule his meetings with molan again, but he knew that he was the only one to blame for the way they were currently having to awkwardly tiptoe around each other’s boundaries, so he swallowed the unease and forced a smile to stay in place on his lips instead. “ I only wanted my sketches. anything else I left behind is free real estate, as far as I’m concerned. beside, it may have looked good on me, but it looks great on you. unless you don’t want it? then I’ll take it off your hands. ”

“ that’s exactly what I’m saying. although, I think I’m doing a pretty horrible job at it since you and everyone else seem to have a pretty easy time resisting me. ” his eyebrows shot up in surprise when she implied otherwise only a second later, attempting to remind himself that she was only teasing when his heart got ahead of itself and began to beat a little more wildly against his chest. she couldn’t actually want him still, could she? “ oh trust me, making you lose control of your hormones is the most fun I’ve ever had. but, if you think it’s so rude, I’ll try to rein in the old habit. ” he winked, all thoughts of the text from daphne waiting in his pocket and the remaining items underneath mo’s bed forgotten as his eyes greedily followed the movement of her tongue running out across her lips instead. he’d put everything aside for the chance to live in this moment for even a second longer. “ oh, you are cruel. as if you aren’t already hot enough to make me lose every train of thought I have, just go ahead and make it worse. ” his gaze dropped down toward her thigh as he spoke, what he should and shouldn’t be saying aloud almost entirely forgotten by now as he found himself imagining all of the designs that he could bring to life on her skin instead. “ but even if it would be very bad for me, I think you would look great with a sleeve. or a piece on your thigh. I’ve still got a few designs that were saved for you in one of my journals, if you ever want to give it a shot. ”

“ don't it feel fucked up we're not in love? my shadow's dancing without you for the first time; my heart is hoping you'll walk right in tonight and tell me there are things that you regret 'cause if I'm being honest I ain't over you yet. it's all I'm asking; is it too much to ask? ” // @euphcrix

euphcrix·:

molan gave him a small smile all while trying not to reach back out for him. they may not be strangers, but she had to fight urges like they were. nodding she spoke with a smile. “gotcha, just tell me if I go too far,” her hand reached to fix the hair he so obviously rushed to fix. her fingers ran through his dark locks softly. “stay still. ,” the petite female was only three inches shorter than the male. that didn’t stop her from standing on her tippy toes. “there,” her face locked in concentration as her finger lightly brushed the last strand that was stubbornly sticking out in front of his forehead. the mischievous smirk couldn’t be helped as they discussed that awful secretary the shop had. “yeah she was pretty scared of me. especially when I would sit on her desk in my biker shorts and leather jacket,” molan chuckled just an remembrance of her disgusted expression every time they saw each other . she really had fun messing with that woman. she stayed asking jae out when she wasn’t around. which of course only made molan absolutely amused. so in return mo would make her day just a little harder. oops? she brushed a stray strand of her own silver hair out of her face smirking. “a bunch of men complimenting me all day? sounds like a good day too me. they even bring me treats. I remember that one guy literally bought be a whole bakery once. we were set in food for a good month. I don’t know why you’re complaining you love sweets,” she playfully rolled her eyes. she honestly didn’t pay attention to any of his coworkers. watching jae so focused while he worked was enough for her. even if that sounded a bit boring she didn’t care.“i’ll only visit if you want me too. I don’t want to invade your space without your say so,” she really meant it. his space was no longer hers to intrude. with a laugh she shook her head. “no just some of your habits were very unhygienic. your room you know is gross. i cleaned it once and about died. never again,” finding a dust bunny about as big as her was enough to traumatize her for life. when jae pulled out one of his famous black shirts. it must have fallen from her bed. she honestly wore it more times then she’d hate to admit. molan nodded her head shamelessly shrugging her shoulders at the same time. it no longer smelled like him, but that didn’t mean it didn’t still bring her comfort. “yeah, I still wear it sometimes. it probably fell between the bed and wall at sometime. I just haven’t had time to look under there. So beware of dust bunnies. They may be more deadly then the monster,” keeping the conversation light. Until she realized she might just have more of his clothes. Molan was notorious for borrowing his clothes. when she gave him back his things the first time her closet became a bit light. “ I think I have your leather jacket too,” her brown hues shifting from him to the closet then back to him. she guessed he could take them both. he was here for his things anyway.

a giggle couldn’t be helped as she playfully pushed his shoulder. “shut up. you’re already hot enough. get anymore good looking, and I honestly have no idea what I’ll do,” simply pass away that’s what you’ll do. she honestly fought off enough women when they were together. she sure nothing had changed. it was taking everything in her not to shut the door, and forget just why he was here. instead she simply laughed to make it seem like she was only teasing him. that was all they needed. a night together to make them question everything. Molan wasn’t sure she was ultimately ready for that just yet. “one up you? I could never. I mean I got another piercing, but I can’t show you that one. it’s a little indecent,” she teased while pressing the crease that was between his brows. a wide smirk playing at her plush lips. “Well it was actually Ki who did it for me. You know my brother likes doing tattoos just not for an actual career. I promise if I get anymore my skin is all yours to decorate,” she held out her pinky as if they were children. rolling her hues once more she stuck her tongue out at him. “yes because children flashing each other is a great way to grab their attention,” biting the inside of her cheek was one way to keep herself from laughing. maybe that was a bit extreme, but it was enough to make her laugh. “Ok, ok, that sounded horrible,”

‘too far’ was a concept that jaesun didn’t understand when it came to things between molan and him; a fact that was proven when he found himself leaning into her touch as she sorted out the mess that was his hair. “ thanks. pretty sure that hair has been out of place since I knocked on the door. ” and if he was honest, he was really struggling with keeping his hands from reaching up to put it out of place once more already - if only to give her another offer to fix it. “ oh trust me, I know how scary she thought you were. she didn’t hold that opinion back whenever you weren’t around. not to mention the only time she was ever quiet was whenever you were around. you have no idea how much I miss that. ” he groaned, only half-playful. despite the fact that he was single now, the secretary’s flirting was still nothing but bothersome to him. and her frankly distasteful level of enthusiasm over his newfound lack of a relationship only made him less receptive to her advances - a fact he would’ve previously thought impossible. “ listen, don’t get me wrong. I was very grateful for how many sweets we had laying around the apartment for months after that. but I would’ve been a lot more grateful for them if they hadn’t gotten there because someone had wanted to charm my girlfriend directly in front of me. ” he explained himself, his expression softening without his permission when she offered to stay out of his space if that would make him more comfortable. as if that was the problem; as if he wasn’t truly worried that having her in his space again would only make him want to keep her there forever. “ I want you there. you don’t need to worry about that, I promise. come by whenever you want. ” he assured her honestly, a soft smile settled on his lips. “ ah, is that why you really let me in today? needed someone to fight the dust bunnies for you so you can rest easy? ” keeping his tone playful, he decided to avoid the admission that molan apparently still wore his clothes; his heart wasn’t ready to figure out how that made him feel just yet. “ oh? ” so much for avoiding the subject, he thought, as he followed her gaze toward the closet. and he knew that he should stand up, take his jacket out and tuck it into a pile to take with him when he was finished here, but he couldn’t bring himself to. maybe she was ready to part with it but he wasn’t sure he was ready to watch her. “ well, it always looked better on you anyway. keep it. ”

“ I don’t know. that kind of sounds like a challenge to me. and you know I’m never one to back down from one of those. ” there was a smirk plastered on his lips, a natural side-effect of all of the compliments molan was passing his way, and it was getting increasingly more difficult to remember what exactly had brought him to her apartment or why he couldn’t simply stay here in her room with her for the next few hours until he figured it out. if it kept her looking at him like that, it couldn’t really be that bad of an idea, could it? “ you do understand that saying that you’ve got a piercing somewhere indecent is literally the definition of one upping me, right? there is no way I can compete with even the concept of that. ” he huffed, only to feel all of the tension melt off of his features the second that her fingers settled on the crease between his brows. how could she not know what she did to him?  “ oh, really? he’s been practicing then, his lines have gotten a lot cleaner. it looks good. but I’ll hold you to that, even when ki gets good enough to give my technique a run for it’s money soon. ” the relief in his tone was almost palpable as he linked his pinky gently with her own, letting their fingers stay intertwined for a few moments longer than necessary. “ also, don’t say if. we both know that you’ll be in my chair again soon. once you get a couple, it’s tough to stop. trust me. ” he added with a grin, shrugging the shoulder of his tattooed arm in silent explanation before reluctantly pulling his pinky away from her own. “ alright, I’ll admit that it’s not the best plan in the long run but it’s certainly the quickest way to get a group of high schoolers to shut up. ” if the sight of her attempting to hold back her laughs hadn’t been enough to make him laugh already, the content of their conversation surely would’ve been. “ not as bad as me defending it, don’t worry. ”

“That happened one time. It’s not my fault that she couldn’t tell us apart. last time I checked we’re not twins. wait wasn’t she a bit blind? if so I feel like a dick,” not that you weren’t truly one regardless ji. he was just more aware that they both were good looking. which could sometimes cause issues. not that they really had the same type when it came to dating or whatever they did. ji-hun went for more of the gamer and artsy types while jae. Well he wasn’t really sure he’d only seen him with one person. “I’m not saying it’s not a good look on you. it’s just a bit scarier then mine. I got a resting bitch face as they say,” the laugh that escaped his lips was a bit louder then he intended. “jae, keep telling yourself that. I’ve seen you about punch a guy just for eyeing who should not be named wrong. Ok given he did whistle at her. I’ll give you that, but just admit you’re the jealous type,” ji chuckled giving his head a shake. Which only caused his long locks to cover his eyes for a minute before he moved them out the way . “Honesty is in my personality I can’t help it. It’s a helpful trait in my book. Ok, ok, I’ll try not to be so brutally honest if that’s what you mean,” that was an easy fix. at least he had hoped so. even if jae was just messing with him he took his words to heart. there’s no one he trusted more then him. “they do sound a lot sexier then yours huh? sorry bro,” when in reality whatever he had going on was with one of his classmates. boy did she hate him until they were tangled between the sheets. ji just figured it could be worse. he wasn’t keen on a relationship regardless. when his ex left to be across the country he really didn’t see the point in trying anymore. maybe that was his downfall that he believed love wasn’t as great as everyone made it out to be. his glare become a little more intense from his friends statement. “I simply asked her name for your information. that was it I promise. I’ll even show you. also, those kids are jerks I did the right thing. they need to learn life lessons, and as a teacher I’m here to help with that,” giving jae a wink he shot him a finger gun just like a teenager. ok maybe he wasn’t any better than those children. the room filled with laughter as he tried not to choke again on his food. once he had settled down he took another swig of water. “No, no, i mean I had a hunch, but damn I was right. first time for everything huh?” before he could bask in his glory he eyed jae. now wait a minute. her friend? The only friend ji knew was that tall fellow who he was sure jae might or might not like. tai? yeah that guy. An eyebrow raised as he chuckled. “are you sure? Molan seems tough on the outside but I’ve seen the way you guys look at each other. Plus, didn’t you break up with her?” now back to our regular programming. “Ok so as in friend are you speaking about her best guy friend or that chick that stays with her? because either way I’m pretty sure you’re going to like die when she finds out. so what should I write on your headstone? loved but dumb? yeah, I kind of like that. let me get a note pad,” maybe he shouldn’t be teasing the other about this, but he was sure it was not going to end well. ji watched jae literally hide in his room when he broke up with Molan. he really didn’t want to go through that again. “just be careful. your ex is scary.” 

“ see? this is why you’re not getting a chance to talk to any of them. ” jae murmured simply, playfully. “ besides, if your words didn’t scare them off, your resting bitch face, as you’ve put it, might. no one else knows you well enough to know you’re not really that intimidating. ” he leaned over to bump his shoulder against ji’s with a grin as he teased him before groaning when his own jealousy was brought into question. “ alright, fine. maybe you’re right. I might be a little jealous. ” he grumbled stubbornly, unable to defend his jealous streak now that ji had pointed out such a specific example; one which he could, unfortunately, still remember with enough clarity that it made his jaw clench even now. he was a lost cause. “ although, for the record, I think it’s different when it’s her. I wouldn’t be so easily upset with someone else ... probably. ” he defended himself weakly. “ I think your honesty is admirable. it’s put me in my place when I needed it on more than one occasion. just work on that brutal honesty until you know someone a little more and you’re good. ” he loved ji, trusted him more than anyone else in his life, but he could certainly see where he could be intimidating to someone who didn’t quite understand him yet. “ yeah, yeah, yeah. is it anything serious or are you two just having fun? because I’m still waiting on you to bring someone home to introduce me to, y’know. ” he was teasing, giving ji the opportunity to play the entire thing off as a joke if he didn’t feel like telling him the details, but he’d be lying if there wasn’t a certain amount of truth in his words; ji was his best friend, he wanted to see him find someone who made him happy. “ alright, just checking. why don’t you play with her and talk on voice chat though? might make it a little easier to strike up a conversation. maybe she’s nervous. ” he rolled his eyes when ji gave him finger guns immediately after. “ or maybe she’s just somehow seen you do that and decided not to reply. ” he taunted, before sobering when the topic shifted back to molan once more. “ I did. but it wasn’t like I wanted to, really. it’s just - it was never going to work. not with how things were. you know how stubborn we both are and neither of us were willing to change what needed to in order for things to have any hope of working out so I just - I left. before it could fall apart on it’s own. ” he’d thought it would hurt less that way, if it was his choice, but he wasn’t so sure anymore. “ hey. at least add some context if you’re going to call me dumb on my epitaph, I wasn’t dumb my entire life; just at the end of it when I decided that sleeping with my exes roommate would be a good idea somehow. ” he groaned when he realized that attempting to defend himself only managed to point out how catastrophically idiotic he’d been. maybe ‘loved but dumb’ was an accurate summary of himself after all. “ don’t worry, it’s not like I’ll be telling her anytime soon. and daphne doesn’t want anyone to know either, so I just might make it out of this alive after all. ”

euphcrix·:

ji’s eyebrow rose at the mention of his side pieces not being treated as good as him. “give me their numbers i want to ask them personally. just for research purposes,” and blackmail later. with a fake gasp the dark haired man child set a hand over his heart in fake mockery of it being broken. “i will let you know any look is good on me. you though, when you get jealous look like you’re about to kill someone,” he chuckled shaking his head at how dumb they were. ji-hun wasn’t lying though. he’d only seen jaesun jealous a few times. those few times ji was very grateful his best friend was better at controlling his actions than himself. “that’s what i’m here for. to boost that huge ego of yours, and then kill it. just keep you humbled. i’m a great boyfriend. i don’t know what these women be complaining about,” probably because you suck at commitment the voice in his head practically shouted at him. ji couldn’t help the smirk that was now very apparent. “i only cheat on you once a week yours is more like a good few times a week. see the problem? i mean it could be worse,” they could be the two lonely roommates who couldn’t get one night stands. now that’d be one awful life. video games only filled so much of a void. until he intentionally got bored of that. he took another big bite before glaring at the other. “she’s so mysterious though. i’ve played with her a few times, and i can never get her to answer me back. i even messaged her. like damn maybe it’s because she can’t see my face? hey! those teenagers deserved it. they started talking shit first. it was only right,” ji was really trying to defend himself. except he knew he just looked more like an ass. he about started choking on his rice at his friends confession. ji-hun was of course suspicious, but he didn’t but into jae’s life unless he had to. taking a quick swig of his water to wash down his food. “wait, wait, who? i know it’s not molan,” he was really racking his brain for a potential candidate. “no wonder you smell like perfume and sweat,” his smirk returning before grabbing one of the sugary biscuits with his chopsticks.

“ and give you a chance to scare all of them off in the process? nice try but that is not happening. ” while there was very little that jae ever wanted or felt the need to keep from ji, he had learned not to give the other boy a chance to talk to anyone that he was interested in romantically until he was certain that they liked him too much to run. “ and who said that murderous intent isn’t still a good look on me? besides, it takes a lot to get me jealous like that; anyone who gets that look has earned it, if you ask me. ” he could only recall a handful of times when he’d lost his composure enough to show it like that, most of them around mo, and he’d thought all of them justified - although he may have been slightly biased. “ you do keep me very balanced, I’ll give you that. although, if you’re looking for advice, maybe consider a little less of that killing the ego thing. not everyone appreciates your ... honesty ... as much as I do. ” he chuckled, reaching out to pat ji on the shoulder in mock consolation. in reality, he knew that ji could have anyone he wanted - no advice needed. “ you make it sound like you have cheating appointments. sounds like a very passionate affair you have going on there. ” grin settled seemingly permanently on his lips, he took another bite of his food as he listened to ji’s complaints and it took every ounce of restraint he had not to laugh. “ before I give any advice on your girl here, what exactly did you message her before she so mysteriously avoided you? also, bud, no matter what the children say to you first, it’s not right to say it back. ” he shook his head as he swallowed yet again, his gaze darting over to ji when he began to choke. “ I don’t know if I should be offended that you’re so shocked by someone sleeping with me that you choke or not. ” his hand reached out to pat ji on the back lightly as he spoke, making sure that he was okay before retreating back to his end of the couch. “ yeah, yeah. pretty sure the entire town knows that molan doesn’t want that with me. ” he sighed, tossing his head back against the back of the couch. “ but uh, if I told you that it was actually one of molan’s friends, would you think I was a complete asshole? ”

euphcrix·:

hearing his laugh brought a smile to her lips. she loved the sound as well as watching his nose scrunch making his eyes close. it was one of the most adorable things she had ever seen. molan reached out to press her finger against his currently scrunched nose. chuckling if this was a normal circumstance she’d be nose to nose with him. giving him the endless eskimo kisses until they were both in a fit of laughter. instead she had to refrain from even doing something as small as touching him. bringing her hand back she mumbled a “sorry.” her grin turned into a sad smile as he spoke about her habit. he didn’t have to say it out loud. “i mean you could ask that nice secretary to help. i’m pretty sure she has a crush on you,” mo couldn’t help the mischievious smirk that now adorned her lips. bringing her thumb to her mouth she playfully bit it to keep from chuckling. “but if you ever need to relax i’ll come help. i do miss the shop. all your coworkers loved me,” most of them were of course men covered in tattoos. so it was only natural to give their attention to molan. not that she really cared for it. she’d honestly sit in the back, and nap since shed have long nights. was it ok to be laughing this much? her hues rolled at him. “sir, i’ve seen your floor. it absolute has underwear that i’ve disgustingly seen you wear. i didn’t want to say anything then, but i’m a need you to do better,” her tone nothing but teasing. when he mentioned going under her bed molan gave him a scoff. “if there’s a monster under there at least it saw you first. gives me a chance to escape. i could be sending you to your death,” this childish banter shouldn’t be this easy right now. yet, they both knew the silver haired beauty liked making awkward situations manageable. she turned her head to look at him. gosh did she hate to admit he did look good before she didn’t even notice. now she got a good look at him, and wow was all she could think. her lip finding it’s way back in-between her teeth. his tattoo’s were on full display, his black hair styled, and the eyebrow ring. was she still breathing? 

“it’s kind of hot,” her smirk now matched his. of course he knew he looked good. why not stroke his ego a bit. her hormones weren’t screaming at her or anything right now. maybe she’d shouldn’t have complimented him though. it wasn’t her place anymore. different for her? it seemed her search had stopped for a minute as she lifted up her tank a bit. her toned stomach had a small body jewel in the middle. “does a belly ring count?” the small bar had been there for a few months now. “oh and,” she pointed to the small sunflower that was inked into her skin right above the band of her shorts. “i feel like we’re children having show n tell right now.”

having such a simple touch from her shouldn’t have been enough to bring his entire world to a halt and yet jae could actually feel himself holding his breath as her finger settled on the scrunch in his nose, as if his body simply forgot how to function with her so close and familiar. “ don’t be. we may not be together anymore but you’re far from a stranger to me, mo. you don’t need to act like one. ” as soon as that sentiment left his lips, she was suggesting he let the secretary at the shop to take her place and he had to keep himself from physically cringing at the mere suggestion. so much for being casual. “ you’re pretty sure she likes me? was her asking for my number everyday since she started there not obvious enough for you to be entirely sure? ” he scoffed, rolling his eyes when he noticed the mischief swimming in her gaze. “ you sure you wanna’ make that offer? my coworkers hit on you constantly back then and that was when they knew I was with you, I can only imagine the horrible lines they’d try to lay on you now if you came to visit. ” despite how desperately he wanted her there again, to have an excuse to spend more time with her, there was a part of him that kind of hoped she’d retract her offer if only to give him respite from having to watch her flirt with a few of his more charming coworkers for the afternoon. now that he had no right to do anything about it, it sounded like a nightmare. “ so you’re telling me this whole time you’ve thought my room was gross and my hygiene was bad and you’re only just now telling me? I could’ve really used this feedback months ago. ” he teased in return, laughing softly as he sorted through the miscellaneous items littered underneath her bed. “ no monster so far. just a lot of papers and a few shirts - one of which I think might actually be the one you loved to steal from me. have you been hiding this here all along? be honest. ” familiar shirt in hand, he turned toward her with a playful grin only to find her already looking his way. and god, it wasn’t fair how gorgeous she looked like that; still half wet from the shower she’d clearly taken before he’d interrupted her night, looking at him like maybe she thought he was something special. he could dream, couldn’t he?

“ kind of hot? what else do I have to get pierced to get that to sound more sure? ” it was a delicate line they were both walking, he knew that; balancing between teasing banter between friends and skirting around the edge of too much between exes. despite that, he couldn’t bring himself to care. he’d spent six months keeping himself away from her entirely and if she wanted to talk to him now, to compliment him, he wasn’t going to be the one to put that line back in the sand between them. “ are you kidding me? of course that counts. it looks amazing. just had to one up my eyebrow piercing, didn’t you? ” he taunted, trying to keep his tone playful despite the fact that his throat had gone dry the second she’d pulled her tank up and it didn’t seem to be coming back anytime soon. “ oh, and you let someone else ink you, huh? I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little offended. I’m just teasing; it looks great. ” he swallowed past the new lump in his throat, unsure if it was from the lingering memory of her new piercing or the sight of someone else’s art on her, before offering her a smirk. “ I don’t know. I think I would’ve liked school a lot more if it had been anything like this. ”

it took everything in ji-hun not to roll his chocolate orbs at his best friend. this shameless flirty banter was nothing new. it always got the into some weird situations sometimes. every time they went to the grocery store the looks they got still made ji laugh. not that he really helped out in that situation. in his defense the cashier was about fifty, and kept trying to get his number. He really didn’t need a suga momma who worked at the store he frequented. “am i? you sure treat your one and only like a side piece,” he turned his nose up as to look a bit snooty. he guessed that was the word for it. he proceeded to sulk while pushing his lip out in a pout. ji-hun may just be one of the biggest babies in the world. no wonder he was single. oops? “void? you mean messing with some hussy’s. hmph. what a waste of a man you are,” he stood up to turn their big screen off. “plus, that game system can never give me the satisfaction you do. how dare you ever compare yourself to some piece of plastic,” now he couldn’t hold in his laughter as a boxy grin landed on his lips. his tongue ran over the lip ring that was on the left side of his bottom lip. “i mean you words not mine,” his shoulders came up in a shrug as his grin turned into a smirk. he plopped down on the couch before jae joined him with the food. his stomach growled as his eyes never left the containers in his friends hands. he didn’t hesitate to take it before opting for the chopsticks in the container. before he could shuttle a giant ball of rice into his mouth he chuckled. “it is real. i could never leave you. well i might later you have your booty calls i have mine. wait should i word that as late night adventures so we don’t sound like trash?” with that ji stuffed the ride and pork into his mouth. when jae mentioned the teens who he just crushed in the game he smiled. swallowing down his food he held up two fingers. “those children could never. now some chick beat my ass in call of duty. not gonna lie it was kind of hot, but then my pride felt a bit bruised so i opted out for kicking some kids ass. what about you where you been?”

jaesun suddenly didn’t blame the cashier at their favorite grocery store for assuming that there was something romantic between ji and him. out of context, and without any prior experience with the two of them, he was certain that their conversations sounded like they were in the middle of a heated lovers quarrel more often than not. the only thing he was upset about was that ji hadn’t taken her up on her offer to be his sugar momma; they really could’ve used the discount that certainly would’ve come with that and he could’ve really used that story against ji. " if that’s what you think, you should see how I really treat my side pieces. trust me, you’re very special. ” he played along, almost breaking character when he noticed the pout settled heavily on ji’s lips. “ oh, c’mon babe, jealousy isn’t a good look on you. ” he murmured, a surprised laugh finally tumbling past his lips at ji’s next comment. “ is it weird that I’m sort of on a weird ego high after you defended my honor against some piece of plastic? ” he questioned playfully, only to roll his eyes as he passed ji his food and fell down onto the couch beside him. “ so you threw that whole fit over me being with someone else when you’ve been cheating on me this whole time? maybe we are trash after all, no censorship necessary. ” he took the chopsticks from the container before taking a bite as he listened to ji’s stories from the day. he laughed around the rice in his mouth as he listened, swallowing his food before shaking his head. “ god, only you could get so frustrated that you were into some girl who kicked your ass in call of duty that you’d bully some kids on fortnite instead of just talking to her. ” he scoffed, unable to keep the obvious fondness out of his tone as he teased him. “ but me? hm, how did you phrase it earlier? I was, uh, out having late night adventures, I guess. ”

euphcrix​:

the mention of that night made her slight happiness falter. their argument still fresh in her mind. an argument she hated to even have. they fought over some very petty things in their life. like the one time she ate his fudge pop, and he didn’t speak to her for a a few days. no this was an argument over a part of her life no one was supposed to know. yet, she hated to lie to the one person who stuck by her side until well now. molan wanted to yell and scream that it wasn’t fair how she got punished for keeping him safe. instead she kept her mouth shut. she let him go so easy that even she wondered why she did. simple. she wasn’t the girl jae needed. the faster she came to terms with it the better off they’d both be. yet, she was a bit selfish when it came to him. mo nodded watching him move his fingers through his hair. she wanted to smile, and tell him how he just made it even more messy. “yeah, you were in a bit of hurry,” she simply agreed not trying to dwell on the night that ended them. mo was certain she knew which one he was talking about. she had found it about a month ago, and placed it in one of her drawers.  it contained the very sketch that was on her back. maybe that was why she couldn’t let it go. not that she didn’t expect him to realize it was gone. it had only taken him about six months to even think about it. did that mean he didn’t think about her? probably not he hadn’t even texted her. “no worries, i’m sure it’s around here somewhere. i probably have a few other things you can take as well,” mo grinned yet small she was trying to keep her emotions in check. 

molan noticed him staring at her biting her lip which only made her mentally smirk. a sigh escaped her lips as she nodded. she knew jae loved to just sit with her in her room. she’d spend the day writing while he would draw. “i loved watching you draw. i always knew it’d be a good drawing because you’d get an angry expression on your face,” she giggled whilist her fingers brought her hair out of her face. she quickly tied it up before setting her condiments down by the food that was waiting. “no i’ll help. it’d be kind of rude of me not too. plus, i have missed you,” she bluntly admitted. mo turned her on heel to head towards the contents of her room. easily finding the teal door she turned the knob to reveal a room that barely saw it’s owner. everything was pretty tidy except for a few clothes scattered here and there. turning the light on she quickly picked up a few undergarments before throwing them into a hamper. “my bad didn’t expect any company. yet, i’ve seen your room i don’t know why i’m apologizing,” should she really be teasing him right now? it was pretty natural at this point. mo went for the desk first. it had most of her important things on it. it even contained a few of the drawings from jae she had chosen to keep. “you could check under the bed. i honestly don’t remember where you used to keep it,” her fingers rummaged through one of the drawers as she spoke. she knew exactly where he kept everything, but she couldn’t say that out loud. “also, what made you get an eyebrow ring all of a sudden? it’s- hot, sexy, i’m losing my mind,” she paused trying not to speak her mind. “different,” good job mo. she scolded herself. suddenly very glad her back was turned to him as she licked her lips. “i mean it looks good,” very subtle molan.

jaesun couldn’t help but feel as if both of them were talking about more than his rushed attempt at grabbing his things from her apartment now, the unsaid weighing heavily between the lines of each thing that was said between them, and he didn’t know how to tell her that he’d never been in a hurry in his life - not with her. he’d always taken his time, always so sure that they had more time to do the rest in the future. but instead of telling her any of that, he only nodded wordlessly. let her believe that he’d been in a hurry, if that was what she wanted. “ oh, you mean I left even more behind? sorry about that. I’ll try to get everything out of here this time. ” he hummed, certain that she was eager to get his things out of her space even if the sheer concept of that was enough to make his own chest ache. 

despite himself, jae found a laugh slipping past his lips before he could stop it as molan pointed out the memory of his expression whenever he got lost in a drawing. “ I wasn’t angry, I was focused. ” he grumbled stubbornly. “ although, considering I’ve had quite a few clients ask if there was something wrong while I’m working on something for them, I think maybe you’re right about what it must look like. and it’s only gotten worse now that you’re not there to make me quit it. ” in fact, the memory of how she used to run her fingers over the crease between his brows to get him to relax only made his scowl worst on most days now, but he decided to keep that particular fact to himself. “ thanks, I’d appreciate the help. and y’know, I’ve missed you too. ” he turned to follow her toward her room after that, happy for the distraction before he could regret that bold admission. “ hey, I’ll have you know that there isn’t any underwear on my floors right now. other dirty clothes and various cans, maybe, but no underwear. ” he huffed with a teasing grin, unexpectedly frustrated by how easy it was for things to feel almost normal between them. wasn’t it supposed to be harder than this when you weren’t meant to be with someone? “ okay, never mind, I take it back. maybe your room is cleaner than mine if you’re willing to let me reach under the bed. ” he murmured playfully as he got to his knees, carefully pulling out the few things that he found underneath the bed; none of which was his sketchbook, a fact that he was oddly grateful for if it gave him an excuse to linger just a moment longer. however, he paused in his search when she brought up his new piercing, turning his glance toward her in curiosity when he swore that he could hear a hint of longing in her words. she was turned away from him, though, and he sighed when he realized it was only another answer that he’d never get. “ honestly? I don’t know why I did it. ji told me that I needed to try something new, get out of my comfort zone or something, and I guess I may have taken his advice a little too literally. went and cut all my hair off and got a piercing, which was maybe not exactly what he’d meant but it is - like you said - different. ” he answered honestly, a smirk settling on his lips as he quoted her. “ what about you? anything new going on? ”
