A Dream Jumper

[krxalyiah-blog]

krxjohnny: 

Johnny nodded, flexing his wings as he often did once the transformation had settled.  It was like Morpheus had been trapped, his wings strapped down and when he took what he now knew to be the deity’s form it was a release of tired, aching muscles.  “Yeah, this is Morpheus.  Sorry that I can’t look like this when we’re awake… but hey, I can come and visit you any night,” he said with a wink, before nodding at her question.

Even before he had finished the movement they were no longer on the boat, instead on a particularly beautiful beach.  Johnny instantly decided he liked it here and tried to take in as much detail of the place to recreate it himself.  “I…” he started, his mouth snapping shut when he realised one of the two horses that were with them were speaking.  

Interesting, how she seemed to have so much control over her own dream.  It almost made Johnny ache and he let out a sigh, before addressing the horse almost more than Alyiah.  “Pretty well… why?  Are you about to make me fly for my life?”

In some ways, Alyiah envied Johnny for having some other form.  For her, it was like Poseidon was just this weird voice in the back of her head most days.  Others he was a booming, demanding figure, it really depended on his mood.  She supposed being the god of the sea does that to a person.  But where his real power reigned is in her dreams.  This seemed to be his territory and he could do whatever he wished to Alyiah. As it was, she’s surprised that they haven’t been taken to six different locations yet, Poseidon liked to leave her on edge.  “Lucky for you I don’t have a change of outfit or you’d be the one wanting me to come around at night.”  She teased with an easy grin.  

He’s skeptical, Alyiah doesn’t blame him.  “Well,” she grins and pats the mane of her horse again.  “This is usually the part where Poseidon likes to make me go through some sort of trial.  Keep me on my toes, you know, things like that.”  She likes to think it’s because he wants to exercise some sort of power over her whereas Alyiah is usually the one in control.  She’ll give it to him.  Most of the time.

As if on cue, the ground shakes and the loud cry of a beast is heard in the distance.  She rolls her eyes and gets on her horse.  “Alright, alright already we hear you!  Yes you’re so big and bad earth-shaker!”  Rolling her eyes again, she looks at Johnny and chuckles.  “So maybe not fly for your life just yet, but a race couldn’t hurt.”

‘making death-wishes on shooting stars’

[krxalyiah-blog]

krjiyong:

maybe he’s living his life in denial, but honestly, it would surprise him at all. someone like jiyong has to live with a certain amount of fantasy kept at the base of his brain, in order to function, in order to continue pressing forward—without it he would go insane. there isn’t any hope for ares, fiery and destructive, hungry without end, killer without remorse. but jiyong has remorse, jiyong has ptsd and the only thing at the moment keeping him from tumbling over the edge of which there’s no turning back from, is his delusions.

and alyiah might be one of those. she’s a real person of course, but her relationship with him might be as solid as a puff of smoke, for all the clues she gives him that she actually likes him. to anyone watching them, it might seem like she doesn’t, like maybe she’s just leading him on, but on some level, he likes being her toy, he likes being messed with. it means he can mess with her too, they can be even. it feels grounding for him, it feels concrete enough to let him smile. besides, for all her protests, she still kisses him hard enough to break mountains, and lets him touch her like he owns her, occasionally.

but as much as he enjoys the rough coarseness of alyiah’s tempter, the way her inner hurricane rears to life behind her eyes, right now he is wounded and even her teasing is making the aching worse. he groans tiredly when she brushes her nose against his, his heart stopping for a moment as she pulls away, but he doesn’t move, continues straining himself forward to meet her. “ahh, so i need to be dead to get a kiss? well, why didn’t you say so before, it’ll probably happen in a few minutes.” he’s being overdramatic and she most likely knows it, but he still grins at her anyway, before flinching and cringing at the stinging of the antiseptic.

he waits a few moments for the pain to subside before tilting his head and reestablishing eye-contact. “i really will be okay, baby, i’ll be alright. i just need a bandage, do you have some of those? i just need the pressure and then i’ll lay down on your floor for a minute where i’ll get the least amount of things dirty, and then be on my way, alright? i heal quickly, it’s not a problem. i won’t stick around too long, i promise.”

It is very easy for her to pretend that Jiyong is invincible most days.  The vague references he makes to his fights and battles, the way she’s seen him on the brink of death more than once and he has come back again and again. It is very easy for her to pretend that it will always be like that.  That he’ll always push through and stay alive.  Sometimes she even convinces herself that she helps.  That somehow, she keeps him grounded and sane very much the way that he’s pulled her back from insanity before.  And in those moments, it is so easy to joke and chide and tease him for his actions.  It is so easy to flirt with death.

Then he calls her baby and she realizes just how worried she actually is.  Her breath catches in her throat and she has to force herself to look away after a moment, suddenly very conscious of his gaze.  She doesn’t let herself believe something could happen because if it did, Alyiah isn’t sure how she’d take it.  If she’d be able to take it.  And she hates that.  The two of them—they’re barely something.  She doesn’t even know what they are but he reassures her and for the first time Alyiah realizes her hands are shaking.  “I—yeah.”  Not trusting her voice anymore, she turns and grabs the bandages, and carefully dresses the wound with practiced ease.  She even takes time on the smaller cuts and bruises as well.  Although that may simply be because she doesn’t want to see him like this.  Hopefully Jiyong won’t mention it.  

When she’s done, she keeps her hand on the wound, applying pressure and Alyiah looks up at him again. Without even thinking, she leans forward and kisses him.  It’s short but insistent and Alyiah hopes it will shut him up long enough that she can speak.  “You’re not going anywhere.  You’re going to get cleaned up, changed and go to sleep in a real bed.  I’m not just going to have you lie half dead on my bathroom floor Jiyong that’s not how it fucking works.”  In truth, she can’t risk him going back out there and getting himself hurt all over again.  Not tonight and really, not ever..  But she rarely ever states her mind with him, carefully keeping up her guard until the last possible moment no matter how difficult or painful.

۞: Are there any inner demons they can never seem to get rid of? What are they?

Although Alyiah is remarkably prideful and stubborn, and she’ll scream from the rooftops that she is perfectly content she is equal parts afraid of connection and commitment.  What she views has her failure to live to her families expectations has ballooned and turned into a fear of failure for everyone else.  So even though she has close friends and loves them dearly, she keeps everyone at a certain distance unwilling to reveal just how inadequate she can feel.  Yes, she’s grown as a person and truly does love herself and has great pride and what she can do.  But there always seems to be a voice in the back of her head, claiming that she isn’t enough, that she’ll never be enough.  It is both her motivation and her greatest weakness.

εжз : What about nature do they find calming? What about nature do they find disagreeable?

Perhaps her answer is a little too predictable but, Alyiah feels the most at ease when she’s out on the ocean.  Meaning on a boat, away from the shore and listening to nothing but the waves and the distant call of birds.  It reminds her how small she actually is in this big world and also a bit of a power trip considering what she can do with water.  She’s also a fan of the giant rocks in forests you can sit on, usually near a river.  Those are like perfect hiding places to her and she loves that.  Also really, weather wise she loves just about everything but especially rain storms.  

As for what she finds disagreeable, she has never been a fan of dry.  Deserts and savannas leave her quite unsettled and just the thought of being in one makes her queasy.  Everyone tells her these places can be beautiful, but she’d rather cut off her arm than visit one of them.  Also keep her away from caves 0/10 would not recommend taking her to a cave ever.

✦ magic of wonderland

[krxalyiah-blog]

krxjongkook: 

“Good to see you still in great shape after so long,” he chuckled, although he wasn’t sure if Alyiah heard his words when he saw that she was so preoccupied with the pup in his arms upon setting sight on it. He doesn’t know what to think of the fact that a small dog had far more attractiveness than he does, but not that he minded it. He knows that Alyiah truly loves dogs, or he wouldn’t have requested her to help him take care of the puppy for a short while.

“This cutie is called Mongshil,” he answered, and the small dog woofed and stuck its tongue out as if in response to his name being called. “Unfortunately he’s not mine though so you can’t steal him away, I’m just helping to take care of it for a few days.” As much as he would love to keep a dog, his schedule just makes it way too hectic for him to be able to. It was a pity, really.

“You sure it’s fine for you to look after it for a few hours? You don’t have to if you have other things going on,” he asked. He did want to work out in the gym unquestionably, but he didn’t want to get Alyiah into trouble either. “He’s an active pup, but he’s also quite obedient.” At least to him in that span of one day spent with the puppy in the house. He wasn’t certain if the small dog would get overly excited and run off in such a huge building with so many places for it to explore.

Now, Alyiah does hear Jongkook’s compliment but it doesn’t register with her to actually respond to him—at least at first.  The cute puppy in his arms has her far more preoccupied than one would expect so all her attention is on him instead.  In fact, it takes several more seconds for her to even realize she hadn’t responded to him at all.  “Huh? Oh!  Thanks, I’ve been working at it a lot, I have a good gym buddy.”  Or several rather.  

Mongshil huh? Mongshil is one of the cutest dogs ever, Alyiah has decides this and she’ll refuse to accept anything else.  The news however that the puppy isn’t his, isn’t much of a deterrent for Alyiah.  Until she decides that maybe it wouldn’t be a nice thing to do to put a friend in such an awkward situation.  “Oh psh, fine okay I won’t steal him because I don’t want you to get in trouble with your friend but he’s so precious this isn’t fair to me.”  Alyiah is bias, everyone knows that, if she had it her way, she’d own seven dogs at least.

He is being understanding of her time and of course she appreciates that but even so, she can’t help but give him a slightly perturbed glance.  Of course she wouldn’t say yes if she couldn’t do it.  The annoyance doesn’t last for long however, she smiles and shrugs instead.  “Don’t worry, don’t worry.  Worse comes to worse I’ll take him home and him and Leia will become best friends. Now,” she reaches her hands out and makes grasping motions, “give me the pup I want to snuggle him and have him meet the rest of the staff.”  Such a small dog in a big building probably spelled disaster.  It would be smarter for her to keep him in here, but she knows word will get around and everyone will want to see the dog anyway.  She might as well expedite the process.

Operation: Get Tuan Wet

[krxalyiah-blog]

krxmarktuan: 

I don’t want to do that, if I were you. Mark thought to himself as Alyiah hauls him to a corner. His hold over his emotions is already on its edge and losing it would be the last thing Mark wants to happen on top of all the bullshit today.

“I can, believe me.” Mark whispers, taking his arm free from the other. “Money isn’t an issue nor is the effort I made to go here. And I think you’re reading me wrong, I didn’t choose this shit, I only promised to attend your class but never to finish it.” He then sighs, brushing his damp hair back to have a good look at the lady. Adrenaline was slowly getting replaced by Mark’s usual rational self. He scoffs as he walks away to pick up his backpack and only continued his statement when he is back, a feet or two from Alyiah “Why are you fixated on me anyways? I’m just one person. If it’s the payment, I won’t ask for a refund so leave me alone. Just… leave me be.”

Mark looks downwards as he pass by Alyiah. “This is a mistake, I’m going home” He says as he types the same as a SMS, but both Mark and Alyiah knows that the statement was not only meant for the former’s friend.

There are few things that Alyiah hates more than her attempts to be kind being met with aggravation and dismissal.  In fact, it’s enough to make her not even care about the person she’s talking with any more.  Now she knows that it is petty of her to resent a person so quickly, but she’d never liked the way others tossed her aside as an instructor.  She had too much pride of that.  

Her words don’t matter, he’s already dismissed her but still they fly from her quickly and with barely contained disdain it almost surprises her.  “Sure, quit because you messed up one time.  Be afraid of the water for the rest of your life because that’s the easy and comfortable way out.  You aren’t the first student to run off and you won’t be the last.”  She scoffs and takes one step forward.  “And you’re not the first one I’ve tried to stop either. But I see my effort to be a decent teacher is wasted on you.”

She scoffs back a laugh again and moves back.  “I won’t waste any more of your precious time, I have a class to teach.”  Alyiah turns and takes a few away, then pauses and adds, “And you will receive a full refund because I couldn’t care less about the money.”  This is a bit of a lie, but again her pride causes her to speak before thinking. Still irked that she let him get under her skin, Alyiah walks away quickly, hoping to salvage what is left of her class time before the others give up as well.  Still, she is petty enough to talk with the office staff to make sure he gets his money back.

The Impact Of A Daughter

[krxalyiah-blog]

jihyoxkr: 

Jihyo smiled at Ahrin showing her best, her smile even brighter when Ahrin was complimented like that. It always filled her with pride whenever someone else saw Ahrin’s potential as well, could recognize what an amazing person she was. She carefully put Ahrin back down on the ground, who immediately trails around shyly but proud as well, mother’s and daughter’s smile matching perfectly.

“Did you hear, Ahrin-ah? You improved a lot, that’s good,” Jihyo smiled, causing Ahrin to grin even brighter, wide and unabashed.

“Ah, it’s nothing. We don’t have a pool, so… that was the next best thing,” Jihyo explained, shrugging a little sheepishly. “And she doesn’t want to swim anywhere else – except the ocean, but that’s a bit far.”

Ahrin pouted and heaved a put-upon sigh. “And mommy has to work.”

“Mommy has to work, indeed,” Jihyo supplied her daughter, ruffling her hair. “You can go and change into your swimming gear already, then you can get used to the water before all the other kids show up. Call for mommy if you need help, okay?”

Ahrin nodded, bowing politely to take her leave. “I’ll go change then.” She grinned cheekily, eyeing the two adults. “Call for Ahrin if you need help, okay?”

“Yah!” Jihyo laughed as Ahrin immediatelly skittered off after her mischief, “Don’t be a smartass!”

She turned her attention back to Aliyah, shaking her head fondly. “If she’s a hassle today, just splash her face or something.” She smiled. “She’s just very excited for today. If she does well, I promised to take her to the ocean. That’s safe, right? Or should I wait a little longer? I mean – I’d go with her all the time, of course, but…”

These are the moments where Alyiah has to stop and marvel at the connection that can be made between a mother and daughter.  It is times like these that she almost considers the possibility of having a family herself one day.  Really, it wouldn’t be a good idea and she has no idea how Jihyo is able to do it. She envies and admires the other for it.

For now, Alyiah is more than content to watch the connection play out in others and limit her interaction with children to a minimum.

She remembers what it is like to have a mother who works all the time.  Alyiah had been lucky enough to have the rest of her family surround her in those times.  She wonders if Ahrin does, but really it isn’t her place to ask so Alyiah doesn’t even if she wants to.  Instead, she merely nods with approval and relaxes her stance slightly.  “Practicing the motions is always helpful.  One of the best ways to learn something is to practice the mechanics of it repeatedly.”  

Ahrin’s sass brings a warm smile to her lips and a laugh bubbles up in her chest.  Kids can be quite sassy given the chance and it always tickles Alyiah what they could do next.  She likes Ahrin too for her sass, she’s always headstrong and ready to go.  Very much like her mother she imagines.

The ocean?  Her interest is immediately piqued at the mention of her favorite place.  Ahrin wanted to go to the ocean?  She can’t help but smile warmly and nods.  “I think it will be fine, and an excellent treat for passing a swimming test. I’d offer to join you as backup but I that is a bit out of my jurisdiction,” she shakes her head amused, “you’ll have to forgive me, I just really love the ocean as well.  I’m sure she’ll make you proud today with her score.”  Alyiah had absolute certainty in that.  

[baekhyunxkr-blog]

— party time

[krxalyiah-blog]

baekhyunxkr: 

Baekhyun moves a little to the side to give Alyiah more space next to him; he scrunches his nose when his uncovered ankle touches the cold granite workspace and shifts a bit, then leans back to grab the bottle of juice behind him, unscrews the cap and fills his cup. (He’s a bit obsessed with orange juice; keeps some in his fridge at home, at work, and at Jongdae’s; but that’s his dirty little secret.) “Saw my name pop up in the group, did you?” Baekhyun is a loud person, in person or over text - he’d had a pretty lengthy discussion about his favourite girl group’s newest release in that very same group chat, and had received more than a few annoyed complaints. He’s almost certain that most of his friends mute their chats moments after adding him.

He puts the juice away, then reaches for the bottle of vodka next to his thigh and adds a generous amount to his drink. Eyebrows raised, he turns to Alyiah. “Want any? Trust me, with the people who told me they’d come, you’ll want to be drunk soon.” Alyiah knows this, of course. They’ve both witnessed things Baekhyun would love to erase from his memory; he’s just glad he isn’t the type to undress when drunk.

“I’ve been well, actually - a bit restless ‘cause the weather’s been so great, and my dog got a bit sick the other week, but we’re all good. What about you?”

Alyiah knows about Mongryoung nibbling on the tomato plants again; he’d kept her updated via snaps, once he’d made sure his dog would be fine. Which reminds him: “And where’d you get that smoothie that was in your story a few days ago? It looked really great but I can’t place the packaging.”

At his question, Alyiah grins and nods.  “Of course, helped the decision to go actually.”  It’s rare for Alyiah to actually skip out on parties that she’s been invited to unless work gets in the way.  Really rare.  But she hadn’t been all that interested in it until she saw the familiar name.  She had even thought about messaging him privately about it but felt it would be some breech in etiquette.  The two of them didn’t tend to text each other too much. Texting is too permanent, the messages staying there, and indicates a closeness they hadn’t achieved.  Or at least, Alyiah assumed they hadn’t.  She keeps meaning to text him more but it is one of the few times she has no idea how to actually start the conversation. So she doesn’t.

Once she’s comfortable on the countertop, she sips on her drink slowly, in no hurry to get drunk. Therefore it surprises her mildly when Baekhyun pours a generous amount of vodka into his drink instead.  Who was coming?  Her brows furrow as she tries to remember just who is supposed to show up to the party.  Then a lightbulb goes off as she remembers some unsavory names in the group chat, and who knows who else will show up late.  She takes the bottle from him with a smile.  “Thanks, I’m not interested in remembering any messy people tonight that’s for sure.”  With that, she pours herself a generous amount, placing it back on the counter afterwards.  “People are already acting ridiculous.”  As if on cue, a loud yell of Jager from the living room sounds, followed by cheers of approval.

She’s really glad that she’s never gotten drunk enough at one of these parties to end up doing something she’d regret.  And that she’s not the sort to throw her clothes off.

All aggravation of lightweights is thrown aside at the mention of his dog.  They had talked about it on snapchat a few times and given that she loved dogs of course the news of improvement made her happy.  “I’m so glad Mongryoung is doing better, if you need any help with the pup at all, let me know okay?  I’m seriously just a call away.”  It isn’t often that Alyiah makes offers like that, she’s not sure where it comes from but it’s genuine all the same.  Her attention is diverted once again when he mentions the smoothies.  “Oh!  This new place near my gym opened up and their smoothies are kind of to die for, it’s called Beesket you definitely should go.”

She takes a large sip of her drink and rests it on her thigh, closing her eyes for a moment and sighing.  Sure the party is starting to get louder and energy is thrumming everywhere, but Alyiah is always the most comfortable when things are loud.  “I’ve been good though, spending a lot of time at the beach when I can. Leia always needs some extra love this time of year cause it’s so hot for her so I’ve been taking care of her too. Thought about going for a hike but then got lazy and cooked all day instead.”  He would know about Leia as her oversized dog is always on her snapchat but everything else would be new information.  

[krxmihyun-blog]

what happens in the locker room...

[krxalyiah-blog]

krxmihyun: 

Mihyun winced in pain as the hoodie caught one of her earrings when she yanked it down. She could feel her cheeks heating, her whole body warming along with them. Did she see them? Mihyun thought as she kept her head down, grabbing the dark wash low rise skinny jeans on. She could feel the sweat pooling under her arms, before she snatched up her deodorant and swiped it on, tossing it into her locker as well. The husky sound of the woman’s voice nearly made her jump out of her skin. It was ridiculous, the way fear turned every little thing into a threat. She thought she was over this, but apparently not. She just had to accept that nearly dying left a stain on her soul, blinding crimson on an otherwise white canvas. “Hi.” Mihyun croaked, she cleared her throat. “Hello.” She said, louder this time. 

She looked over and felt relieved because the woman wasn’t gawking, just changing. Mihyun’s eyes roved the hard planes of the woman’s abdomen, a pang of jealousy over-riding her fear. The tattoos were a bit shocking to see, but also interesting. They weren’t something she had really seen, she didn’t think she’d ever get one herself, and she didn’t know how someone could mark themselves permanently. What if they got older and wanted to remove it? The second question the woman asked, made Mihyun pause a bit before answering. A cold tendril of fear slithered down her spine. Had she been watching me? The gym was almost closed, too… Mihyun instinctively moved further from the other woman and towards the door, calculating how many seconds it would take to reach it. Just in case.  

“Yes. I can add more kilometers to my run now….” She said, trying to keep the wobble from her voice and failing. 

She’s in such a good mood that the hesitancy of the other is practically unnoticed at first.  She had no idea why it would be a concern to ask what seems like such an innocent question to Alyiah.  They were in a gym so she naturally assumed that the other was there working out.  And she hadn’t even really thought to be concerned by her appearance either. Perhaps she wasn’t as concerned about it as she should be, but Alyiah had never really been the sort to worry herself over the smaller things.  Or rather the smaller things for her.

As such, the only time she starts to notice that something may be off is when out of the corner of her eye she sees the other woman back away from her.  Still, not wanting to offend, Alyiah simply grabs her stuff from her locker and puts on a large tank top.  As much as she wants to go ahead and shower, it can wait until she gets home. Although maybe she can wait till this other girl leaves and get one quickly?  Yeah, that’s always a possibility.  

A possibility thrown out the window the second she hears the others words.  Kilometers?  Closing her locker door, Alyiah turns and goes right into trainer mode, eyeing the other carefully.  “Just make sure you don’t jump up too much.  Your body won’t thank you for it later.  Taking care of yourself is always more important than number gains.”  She can’t even count the number of times she’s had to tell her trainees and students that in the past.  The other girl may not have asked for it but Alyiah can’t help but be concerned.

[krxalyiah-blog]

lazy days

[krxalyiah-blog]

krxjieun: 

“Girl,” Jieun was breaking into a laughing fit at Alyiah, “You’re too much too handle. The world doesn’t brighten because of me that something else’s job. Science or some Apollo man.” She shook her head, grinning at the notification of Alyiah’s twitter post on her own screen. Jieun glanced up at her best friend and then around the coffee shop, agreeing that it was the best place to grab a quick bite before their shopping adventures began. Of course, Alyiah had already long entered the ever-growing line to order. 

Perhaps the coffee shop was a bit busy today, but it didn’t seem to take away from the intimacy of the space. The best coffee shop could manage the magic of comfort and warmth, which Seoltang did flawlessly, even when the people who inhabited the space were hectic. 

“I’d never turn down a photo opportunity.” Jieun tossed herself in line next to Alyiah, musing over which drink she would order. “I’ll probably go for a matcha latte and some sort of pastry… because I deserve it.” She sarcastically justified her sweet tooth. “Oh, and I’ll pay for the coffee today.” Jieun flashed a smile to her best friend, stepping up to the counter and relaying her own order to the barista. She offered up Alyiah to order as she pulled out a card from her wallet for payment. “I’ll follow you to the table.” 

Genuinely offended by her words, Alyiah places a hand to her chest and scoffs.  “Unbelievable.  Apollo can kiss my salty ass, you my dear are made of sunshine and I will fight even you on it so hush your cute mouth.”  As if Jieun would be able to convince her otherwise anyway.  Alyiah is far too stubborn and would boost her best friend up endlessly, given the chance.  “Besides, happiness is like sunshine anyway, and it’s better.”  Perhaps she idealizes the things her family taught her too much, the words of her grandmother being echoed here.  But there is some truth there, if only she could explain it better.

“Oh that sounds good.” For a moment, she debates changing her own order to that but decides against it.  She is nothing if not a creature of habit when it comes to her coffee drinks.  “Don’t judge me but I might get two pastries because treat yourself.”  That and she knew Jieun had a sweet tooth just like her, so Alyiah felt the need to justify it as well.  If only sarcastically.  “And a caramel macchiato.”  Before she has a chance to complain about Jieun paying, she’s already up at the counter relaying her order and waiting to pay.

Although she doesn’t like it, Alyiah places her order without complaints—choosing to get an extra cookie instead intending to split it with Jieun.  She waits for the barista to hand them the pastries from the display case and she grins at Jieun.  “Don’t think I’m going to let this go unanswered.  I’m paying for something later.”  Leaving no room for arguments, she turns and makes her way to the nearest free table.  Placing the pastries down, she sits and places her phone on the table as well.  “And I’m splitting the cookie with you, don’t fight it.”

A Dream Jumper

[krxalyiah-blog]

krxjohnny: 

Johnny noticed the way the ship had sped up; no longer were they floating along listlessly.  Instead sea water sprayed up at him as the bow cut through the waves and he actually expected dolphins to breach the surface, chattering as they raced.  The sea was empty though, and he had to wonder what that’s all about.  Surely Alyiah’s subconscious would have made them present at least?  He’s lost in thought deep enough that it takes him a moment to notice she’s prompting him.

“I won’t do too much, I kinda wanna see where this is going,” he started, pushing himself away from the edge of the boat now and turning to her.  He was glad to see that her trident was nowhere near him anymore and it made him feel safer about not having to change the dream in a split second.  “You should count yourself as special too, I don’t let just anyone see this.” 

Slowly the image of Johnny wavered and changed, his dark hair lightening and curling as it lengthened.  His eyes widened and his face morphed, his body becoming lean muscle as large, feathered wings sprouted from his back.  It only took about ten seconds or there about and when the transformation was complete he stood with his hands on his hips, grinning widely and completely unrecognisable.  “So what do you think?”

With the lingering presence, she could feel the subtle shift in the wind, the slight change of pressure in the air.  Something tells her to try and get rid of him, but Alyiah is truthfully too amused by his presence, too fascinated to shove him off somewhere.  Besides, at least he didn’t come in during one of her nightmares. Though something tells her it could turn to one at any second—her dreams tended to do that.  Maybe she should call upon a sea monster just to see how Johnny will react.

Of course, that idea is thrown out the window the second he decides to morph his appearance instead. The trident to the side is back in her hand in an instant—a reflex she barely understands—but is dismissed again when the transformation finishes.  Alyiah regards him quietly for a moment, amused at the change.  “So is that what your god looks like?  Cute.  I think I like this version better.”  She teases, the tip of her tongue sticking out slightly in teasing.  In an instant, she’s at the front of the ship, standing on the edge as if there is no danger at all.  “Wanna see what mine can do?”

She doesn’t give him the chance to respond.  Without a single movement, they’re no longer on the boat and instead of the white sand shores of an island.  The air is warm and heavy, behind them stand massive ruins, and to her side are two horses. “How well can you use those wings of yours?”  She questions and the horse nearest to her huffs and then actually repeats the question, speaking loud and clear for both of them to hear.  “Boxcar, let the man speak.”  Alyiah chides the horse but still carefully rubs his side, completely at ease.

what happens in the locker room...

She thought no one would bother going at the gym an hour and a half before closing time, but she was wrong. It wasn’t that the gym was particularly full but there was still too many people for move around comfortably. She must have looked like a loon as she skirted around the gym-goers on her way to the treadmills. 

A few months ago, Mihyun attempted a Pilates class here, but it ended with her popping a few aspirin with water from the tap in the bathroom sink. The pain lanced though her body with such acuity, she briefly considered going to the hospital…a total exaggeration at the time. The pain never lasted long, anyway. 

It wasn’t until her third time, that she devised a schedule that would minimize her interactions with the people around her. The 5 kilometer run on the treadmill left her unable to just change her clothes and leave, so she opted for a hurried shower. Now came the hard part. Even though she knew the gym would be nearly empty at this point in time, butterflies settled in her stomach at the thought of the three jagged scars on her lower abdomen. It had been years since she was almost murdered, but they were always hard to look at. A constant reminder of fear. 

Unwanted tears sprung up, threatening to crawl down her cheeks as she shoved her way into her jeans and snapped on her bra. Mihyun was in the midst of pulling the navy blue hoody over her head when the heard the doors to the locker room open. 

Normally, Alyiah doesn’t stay at the fitness center this late.  Even though she likes to work out after she her shift ends, she’s usually out by now.  But, after going home for a while and taking care of her pup, the manager called in an emergency and needed her to work overtime.  Which isn’t a problem really, but even she can start to feel the tiredness seep into her bones.  A few years ago she wouldn’t have minded, but with her body on a schedule now, when it gets thrown off it messes her up.  This of course means that her solution ends up being half an hour of yoga after the crisis is averted.

After working out some of the tension, Alyiah heads to the locker room.  Normally she’d leave her stuff in the staff lounge but she made the mistake of forgetting her key.  It wasn’t really a big deal anyway, there wouldn’t be a lot of people in there so they wouldn’t try and ask her extra questions.  Hopefully.  And sure enough as she stepped inside, there only seemed to be one other person in the room. Unfortunately they seemed to be just a few lockers down from Alyiah.

Oh well, she shrugs and makes her way over.  Just a few steps inside and she finds that she’s glancing at the other, enough to see the scars on her abdomen.  Interesting, nearly the same placement as one of her scars on her stomach.  Though really Alyiah isn’t concerned by it that much anymore, her tattoo hiding some of it and confidence being too high.  She’s still in a sports bra and low rise leggings without a care.  “Evening,” she greets the other as she opens her locker.  “Have a good work out?”  She always enjoys talking with others, maybe a little too much.

☎ : List three or more people they would call out for during an emergency.

Jieun 

They are Best Friends, so it is only understandable that Jieun would be on this list.  She’s the sort of person that Alyiah relies on endlessly and believes in with all her heart.  In fact, there are very few people that Alyiah trusts more than Jieun and her life would not be complete without the other in it.  

Taemin

Okay, so Taemin gets on her nerves.  She’s aggravated by him often and it doesn’t help that the spirit inside his body is Zeus.  But at the end of the day, Taemin is one of her best friends.  Although it seems that more often than not, she’s the one pulling him out of trouble, she knows at the end of the day he’s in her corner as well.  She may think he’s silly at times sure, but he’s also an incredibly understanding soul and powerful in his own right.

Jiyong

This might come as a surprise--even to Alyiah.  Jiyong is reckless, aggravating, annoying, and genuinely pisses her off more than anything and anyone.  But she is also aware that he knows how to get out of sticky situations of all sorts.  Although at times she may wonder if he’d actually help her out, something tells her that she could at least try.  Either way, willingly or otherwise, Jiyong would come to mind if she was in trouble.
