[🦁]: you just look REALLY good in this picture, i don't think i really appreciated it before [🦁]: it just... surprised me, that's all [🦁]: if you're looking for honesty then yes, this is a good picture [🦁]: if you sent me this picture, i would probably be thinking about it for the rest of the day [🦁]: probably longer.

It doesn't take much to ruffle Nagako's feathers when it comes to more affectionate gestures, and Sunhee knows this intimately. Luckily for both of them, Nagako has adjusted (relatively) to letting Sunhee give her massages—even a little too well.

Has she been Pavlov'd by Sunhee's hands on her shoulders?

Nagako swallows thickly. She doesn't dare move a muscle now that Sunhee has slowed down. Part of her is terrified that this'll be the final straw, that Sunhee will no longer want to have anything to do with her.

"No!" She blurts much too quickly. "It hurts, but I like it. Liked it. Uh—" Nagako blinks rapidly. She can't think while Sunhee's still pressing, and an involuntary shiver runs down her spine, every nerve on her body much too alert. "That sounds bad. It wasn't a bad hurt," she clarifies in vain. "I... I..." Say something. Anything!

"Please, don't stop."

That... is somehow even worse.

❛i-❜

sunhee's voice trails off. she stops trying to guess what it is that nagako is going to say next, because clearly she has ABSOLUTELY no idea. while her movements have slowed, they haven't stopped. in fact, she regains her confidence, knowing that she hadn't hurt her group mate - she digs her thumbs deeper, once more, tries to tease more tension out of the other's muscles.

❛a good hurt... as in... the tension is gone?❜

it's time for sunhee to slow her voice, instead. each word is intentional and CAREFULLY delivered. ❛...or is it causing a different type of tension?❜

sunhee follows up her question, quickly. ❛-not that it's a bad thing! it's completely understandable, actually. massages can do that, it's not uncommon, gako.❜

her hands smooth against the other's back, her eyes drawn from the screen now. instead, she focuses on the way that her hands move against nagako's body, STUDIES the way that her muscles react. had gako always had a body this... sculpted?

❛i just- you know i don't know what to suggest with that kind of thing. i know haeun jokes about me being pent up all of the time but... she's actually not wrong- i kind of am... all the time.❜

"Oh my God. Oh my God," Nagako repeats, bringing a hand up to cover her eyes, like she can't even bear the thought of possibly seeing Sunhee's reaction somehow. The hot crawl of embarrassment comes further up her neck as her body continues to heat up in spite of it all. "This is mortifying, actually. I need to buy a gun."

Sunhee digs again, and this time, Nagako just barely navigates her whine into a very sharp exhale. "You're doing this on purpose!" Nagako accuses. Okay, Gako. Chill. It's fine. You have control. Sunhee is just... testing it. "Well, that makes the two of us, then," Nagako says weakly. "You don't need to suggest anything, Sunhee, I already know what's going to make me feel better."

A pause. While she knows she can handle herself just fine, Nagako's mind flies to Sunhee embarrassingly fast. She bites her bottom lip and shifts a little. Rolls her shoulders into Sunhee's hands.

"Not that it has anything to, um, do with you." But it does. It really does. Those hands could go elsewhere. They're strong, too. Nagako stills.

Nagako's tone is sharp in the way one might scold a child for touching the too-hot stovetop. It bursts from her before she can even think of how it may be perceived, and Nagako is more than eagle-eyed enough to spot the immediate bunch and shrinkage in her leader.

Oh, that's not—that isn't... Did she do that?

Some sort of aggravated huff leaves Nagako instead. She promptly drops down onto the end of the bed, but ensures she doesn't jostle Jimin, the act nearly ginger.

"That's not what I meant. I'm not trying to nag you or anything, it's the last thing you need, I'm sure—... I'm just worried about you." Her admission comes quietly, hardly spoken above a whisper. She dares a glance. "If you were having such a hard time, I could've helped you."

gaze settles in lap and doesn't move, afraid of what she'll find in the face of her groupmate. she always waits for the disappointment to come, always waits for them to tell her she's a terrible leader, even in moments such as these. it never comes, of course, because the girls don't think that way, but sometimes ji-min can't get it out of her head.

' ...i'm sorry. '

the apology comes easily, flowing from her lips like water. how often had she apologized in the last few days about the incident ? management had been down her throat about her being reckless and how she was going to ruin their chances now that she was to rest up.

' ...i just...i want to pull my own weight. i don't want to drag you all down with me when i'm struggling. '

jikida-a

Jimin somehow makes herself smaller, and Nagako emphatically shakes her head. "No. You know that isn't how this works. That's how we end up struggling, when we don't rely on each other. Come on, I'm basically spitting your own advice back at you," Nagako teases, reaching out and poking her leader in the chest. "How many times have you told me the same thing, huh?"

Nagako's gaze softens. She allows her hand to fall, and then resolutely changes her mind by grasping Jimin's tightly. If only to ground her. If only to stop her from heading down the spiral that Nagako knows is already happening.

"You do owe me now, though," Nagako comments lightly. "You have to hang out with me once. The arcade, or biking—maybe not that—whatever. You know. Time. Outside of this. Of work."

#hoshirae: jimin.

Nagako, to the misfortune of Rumi (and by extension, HUNTR/X), is not one to take losses while laying down. If anything, their defeats have spurred her to work harder—become better, prettier, sound nicer than all three of the hunters combined.

She doesn't care if she's nothing but a nip against Rumi's ankle. Nagako is committed to being a thorn in her side whether she likes it or not.

"If you think I need you, I'm about to burst your bubble, princess," Nagako smoothly snips. Her hands don't waver, even as they clean up one last line of glitter on Rumi's face. But then—her thumb pauses.

Nagako's dark eyes glint knowingly.

"I didn't see that anywhere on the news. Wouldn't that sort of thing be everywhere?" Her thumb disappears, but Nagako walks her fingers across Rumi's shoulder instead. "Are you telling me all of your secrets, now? That's a good way to get a leak, you know."

❛the rivalry is the only reason people still know who you are, nagako, don't kid yourself.❜

but, it's rumi's turn to feel the anxiety as the other's thumb pauses and withdraws. her eyes WIDEN as she realizes what she's just let slip. it's only made worse by the teasing movement of nagako's fingers across her shoulder.

rumi reaches out and grasps at her wrist FIRMLY, narrowing her eyes.

❛you wouldn't dare. if you breathe a word of this i'm taking you down with me. i'm sure your management would love to know why you were found in my private dressing room, hm? rumors can spread so quickly, jagi.❜

jikida-a

Rumi's always been such a smartass, Nagako isn't shocked to hear the air of smug superiority. She revels, practically basks, in the new chaos that she has created—the sudden leverage that Nagako has over K-pop's darling princess.

Should she do anything with this information? Hm. Nagako's not too sure, yet.

"Oh, really?" Nagako smiles up at Rumi and bats her lashes. "And what exactly are you going to tell my management? Are we having a sordid affair behind closed doors? Star-crossed lovers? Quick, tell me the cover story so I can play along. That's free publicity, babe." She doesn't move her wrist from Rumi's grip. As much as her hand is trapped, it feels like the opposite. "You wouldn't, anyways. I know you're too concerned with keeping a squeaky clean PG-13 image. I've never seen somebody so uptight in my entire life. Having rumors swirl about you and I would just about destroy you inside."

#neomsabyeok.#oh my show is on!

thinking about how gako's original aspiration was to work in medicine.......... ideally as an ER doctor (for specific reasons)............ she knows it's basically a pipe dream now and recognizes that she is very much in a privileged position (don't get me started on her imposter syndrome and feeling like she's an industry plant) but she is still enrolled in an undergraduate program at seoul national university for physics. it's taken her much longer than the usual four years (she's now in year 6) because she has to piecemeal her courses since idol duties are the top priority.

it's extremely common to see her doing coursework in the tour van, or having it pulled up alongside any songwriting/emails/etc. on her laptop. nagako is extremely academically gifted—but it just isn't a priority among daily life touring with em5 and maintaining contact with kazuo, her younger brother (and by extension, her father and ... the rest of it).
