( outro )

take all the love you're given through the gap in the wall ~ seal it tight with the light blue ribbon then unlock the door ( but your ego won't let you love ) and your fear is your downfall - if you won't take the l o v e you're given then at least let me go : please let me go. i’ve been trying to give you my love but you won't let me / i’ve been trying to give you some space but you won't let me / i’ve been trying to save you the trouble but you won't let me / i’ve been trying to give you my love

Jaehwan: how can you be so sure?

Jaehwan: then why doesn't anyone like me? I mean, nobody ever has..

inwoo: how do you know that, jaehwan?

inwoo: did you tell all the people you liked that you did?

inwoo: you're still young, there's no need to worry about this now

AN UNIMPRESSED EXPRESSION replaced softness ( though, only for a brief moment ) as, the pastel-haired boy began s h a k i n g  at his head softly — as if to indicate that he didn’t believe words that had been spoken ( but, without starting an argument — even if it would have only been a few disagreements, jeaki tended to STRAY ), without having to speak words. a soft sigh slipped, contentment pushing itself onto features, as the boy took a seat adjacent ( placing the purchased items in free space on the desk — cautious not to  a f f e c t  where any work may be place ) and settled. ‘ i had something on the way, ’ words hummed out, laced with reassurance ( to match the expression on his face ), ‘ you don’t have to ever worry about me — i’m doing a good job at looking after myself, these days. ’ he proceeded to shake his head, again, wanting to drop the topic that involved himself, ‘ so, how is your work going? anything interesting? ’ the boy questioned, as legs tangled ( squeezing to fit on the seat ), considering he ( actually ) has little knowledge on the work inwoo did ( curiosity was  s l i g h t l y  bubbling ).

          THE OLDER CAUGHT HIMSELF NOT quite convinced, but he had never been the type to pester others. he was caring to an extent, but he also knew jeaki was a young adult who probably didn't need a parental figure. still, inwoo couldn’t help the lingering feeling of worry. he had always had a bit of a soft spot for the other, always itching to be there if he should n e e d it ( he was an only-child, which in retrospect had been a good thing, but somewhat LONELY, and so inwoo found the comfort of ‘ siblings ’ in others quickly ). as if distracted by his own thoughts, inwoo glanced at his computer screen hesitantly and looked over at jeaki again shortly after. «‘ interesting ’ would be a stretch,» he admitted with a dry chuckle as he pushed the keyboard aside to make space for the food jeaki had so generously brought him. «but i suppose i can’t really COMPLAIN. how are you doing, though?»

SHOULDERS BOUNCED LIGHTLY in response, a slight frown now tugging at features ( though, only for  e f f e c t  ) with a sigh escaping, ‘ does there have to be an occasion for me to be nice? ’ his tone highlighted his light-hearted manner ( even if he did mean what he said ), the frown quickly re-shifting back into the familiar smile ( that was constantly plastered on jeaki’s face… at least when he was in the presence of others ), ‘ really, i just wanted to make sure you weren’t overworking yourself.. again. ’ he inputted, demeanour altering, as he took in the appearance of the other, ‘  —— and it looks like you are. ’ the words trailed, quiet ( almost inaudible ), and laced with a hint of sadness — jeaki’s worry ( truly ) sparking. there was a pause, until the pastel-haired male shook his head and re-plastered on the smile, ‘ you’ve GOT to look after yourself, so, eat up… i’m not going to leave until you do. ’

          A BIT EMBARRASSED inwoo ran a hand through his disheveled hair and cleared his throat as if it would somehow make him look more PRESENTABLE. «ah, i’m not,» he argued halfheartedly — he could hardly call it overworking anymore when it had become his regular schedule. if anything he was supposed to take care of jeaki, not the other way around. it made him feel a little guilty. «i'm f i n e, i promise,» he chuckled lightly as he indicated for the other to take the seat on the other side of his desk. «at LEAST tell me you got something for yourself too,» he pleaded, genuine worry evident now. jeaki was kind to others — inwoo couldn't help but feel concerned that maybe he wasn't as kind to himself.

Jaehwan: why are you working so late?

Jaehwan: I just really think I'll end up all alone

Jaehwan: it makes me sad... got me thinking that there must be something wrong with me..

Jaehwan: but I don't know what it is I'm doing wrong or if maybe I'm just all wrong..

inwoo: i'm just finishing up some things, don't worry!

inwoo: hey, where is this coming from?

inwoo: of course you won't end up alone!

inwoo: there's nothing wrong with you, jaehwan

sxraii:

The club was dark, strobe lights providing the only source of comfort to Sora as she attempted to push through the sweaty crowd. She felt drowsy and unwell, her brothers face taunting her in the distance. But the closer she got to his hallucination; the more the smell of SMOKE filled her lungs and caused her to cough, she looked around, eyes blurry, trying to understand why an earth NO ONE was choking just like her —why it was only her that felt suffocation. Hands grip the other’s shoulder in unease, the thought of dependency making her fists clench.  “I can’t breathe.”

          THE CLUB SCENE WAS still not familiar to inwoo — bars and pubs, sure, but clubs were often much too BUSY for the ceo. still, his customers seemed to enjoy it and if he wanted to keep them he could sacrifice a night or two. he had somehow managed to lose them in the crowd though, and instead had stumbled upon a petite female figure instead. «sora?» he asked incredulously, worry written all over him although he knew the girl wasn't very fond of him. «hey, it's okay. you're okay. let's get you out of here.»

COFFEE WAS TINGLING AT FINGERTIPS, as jeaki pattered through streets ( headphones blaring, as a distraction ), with the paper cup in his grasp and his chin glued to his chest ( not wanting to share eye contact with strangers ). his direction was planned, each footstep radiating through the floor with determination ( pace  f a s t  and, appearingly, unstoppable ) — a certain person in mind. it was a known fact that jeaki cared ( perhaps, a little bit too much ) and that was why he was doing a regular check-up — though, it wasn’t like the pastel-haired male had room for judgement, considering how much he actually neglects his own needs… something that he is quick to deny and dismiss — approaching their place of work with a  s o f t  smile on is face. ‘  i n w o o , ’ he beamed, presenting the coffee, expression screaming with pride, ‘ i brought you coffee — ’ a pause, as he ruffled in his backpack, ‘  — and something to eat. ’ @jexnwoo

          HE HAD PULLED AN ALL-NIGHTER AGAIN and knew quite well that he looked it too. he had lost count of the amount of employees that had come by to ask about something, then either proceeded to ask about how he was FEELING instead — or they simply just walked away, not wanting to bother the big boss. feeling tired had become a regular part of his schedule by now, overworking was the norm. he had spacing out, gaze heavy upon his static computer screen, when a familiar voice brought him out of his daze. «jeaki,» inwoo chirped happily as he sat up straighter in his chair, smiling brightly. «that was awfully nice of you. what’s the occasion?»

«YOU KNOW,» THE CEO BEGAN as he eyed the impractically huge teddy bear he carried in his arms, «this might be the sweetest thing you’ve ever done for me.» he wasn’t solely referring to the stuffed animal, although that of course was a s w e e t gesture too, but just getting out of the office was a blessing in itself. he spent too much time being TRAPPED within those four walls. it wasn't conventional maybe, the two grown men wandering the carnival alone, but somehow it was exactly what he needed. «no hand-holding though. i don’t hold hands on the FIRST date,» he added jokingly.

inwoo: of course not!

inwoo: what's wrong?

HOW DID SHE manage to stay away for so long ? when did she start feeling so pulled to him – when did she start having those type of feelings for him ? she had a good answer to that, she had a pretty god guess, that maybe it had started years ago, when they were both children and had no idea where life would take them. jiyoo managed to keep her feelings dormant for so long, too long. “ you’ve been here all day too. ” she was being redundant – she would be anywhere he was ( how deeper the meaning of that was to her ? ) she was drawn to him, and as her eyes snapped back at him, at were she fought it not to fall on – teeth sinking on her bottom lip, knowing how eager her voice would sound.  “ before ? ”

          HE WAS NEVER IN CONTROL around her and despite the excitement with that he knew how DANGEROUS it was for them both. it was his own company — own rules, sure, but people would talk and it could hurt both their career and reputations: not to mention their friendship. and there was little in this world inwoo valued more. still, the pull was undeniable. she was everything he had ever WANTED all in a petite and far too familiar frame, and he couldn’t stop himself as he closed the space between them and pressed his lips against her soft ones, w a r m t h spreading into his very fingertips as he rested his arms around her waist — where they BELONGED. but he was aware that they were in his office, that the real world was right outside of these walls, and he stepped back reluctantly. «i’m - shit, i’m sorry, jiyoo,» he breathed as he turned away from her, grabbing onto his desk for support. this was WRONG. «i’m sorry.»

taesuks:

              Taesuk’s expression brightens considerably at the idea. He was always a BIT of a sucker for other’s taking interest in the things that interested him, so he’s quick to set out the materials previously nestled in the basket he’d brought along with him. “Why not start now, then?” he suggests, eyebrow quirked up playfully as he hands the elder a floral wire, keeping one in his own grasp and starting to form it in a circle. “S’pretty easy, actually. They’re usually easier and more practical to do with fake flowers, but—” he pauses, offering up a shrug in place of a proper explanation. “There’s something stupidly romantic about the idea of using real flowers, you know?” —— As if Kim Taesuk had the slightest clue about anything that had to do with romance. “But first— you just kinda form the wire into a circle,” he explains, lifting up his finished base crown as an example. “Let me know if you need extra wire to fit your head,” he continues on to tease, mischievously thumping the creation currently resting on Inwoo’s hair with a chuckle.

          IN ALL HONESTY INWOO WASN’T all that interested in flowers in themselves — sure, they were pretty, but his mind had been elsewhere recently and he hadn’t even noticed his office being redecorated until it was pointed out to him the next day. he was too distracted to appreciate their beauty fully, but he had never been too distracted to take INTEREST in his friends’ hobbies. being around someone as passionate as taesuk was sure to help his mood anyway, and he wasn’t exactly in a rush. «yah, my head is not that big,» he chuckled lightly as he followed the younger’s instructions carefully — twenty-three years of age and he had yet to make his first flower crown.

♪ ♫ ♩  —— his fingers s t r u m out a small tune as he sits in front of the entrance to the nearest subway, a soft hum sounding in his throat as he tried to get the tune he wanted JUST right. it was eight in the morning on a tuesday, which was p r i m e  hours for those still heading to work to pass by him; also known as the ‘here’s some money i had in my pocket, now i feel better about myself’ time. while hyunseung would rather have people stand and E N J O Y listening to him before giving money, he couldn’t afford to be picky sometimes. though, judging from the sounds of the people coming back up from the entrance, the trains seemed to be having some problems. wonder how that was going to affect things. [ @anyone! ]

          MOST OF THE PEOPLE HE PASSED were headed to work — and there he was, finally headed home. they were launching a new extension to his website soon, something about sharing music online ( honestly, inwoo hadn't paid attention in the last meeting ) and as he was running on his 5th cup of coffee already that morning he decided it was time to e n d his shift. he was already half asleep as he waited for the train, one he soon noticed wouldn’t come, and he figured he’d go grab a 6th cup when he passed someone familiar. it felt PATRONIZING giving his friend money, so instead inwoo sat down next to hyunseung without giving it much second thought — he didn’t have any cash on him anyway.

SHE DIDN’T WANT to feed into any false hopes. jiyoo had had her heart battered and scarred enough, still, the dull ache was nothing compared to the fluttering feeling every time she was around him. it was liking wishing for something that would never happen – could never happen again. she wanted him, she craved him –  in silence, in secret. “ i am not that tired, actually. ” words soft spoken as she stared out the window, too afraid her body would betray her again. but like magnets, the simple motion of his body made her move, miroing his body, looking even smaller next to him. “ i should…? ” she wanted to stop sounding so hopeful. “ i mean, i am… i am just… ”

          HE KNEW HE SHOULD’VE looked back at what had happened as a mistake, but there was not a single grain in his body that was able to do so. he had never looked at his assistant and seen a mistake, a single f l a w, and instead saw only his own wish to be BETTER, just to deserve her ( and he knew he would never, could only ever dream to keep up with something as exquisite as her ). «you’ve been here all day,» he protested as he leaned his back against the desk, his gaze refusing to leave her. «you really should .. go rest,» he continued, absentmindedly leaning closer to her, wanting to brush his lips against hers, CRAVING to touch her again. «you really should go before ..» he trailed off again, large eyes intent on hers.
