LOST AND FOUND @lgctiger - Tumblr Blog

she hummed, as if considering the idea of bringing him back anything. it was a tease — ruby would most likely end up with a lot of souvenirs that reminded her of him while she was gone. it was a month and a half. the time and distance seemed a little daunting yet she refused to make tiger worry. "i'm kidding~ what kind of stuff do you want? if you don't tell me i'm just going to buy everything."

( she wasn't joking. )

make a move sounded like a recipe for disaster. ruby's face expressed her disapproval of the concept with a grimace. she made a show of miming the act of opening a long scroll with flourish. "let's start with reason number one, shall we?" she adjusted her pretend glasses and peered at the scroll and then back at tiger. "oh, right! she's older and i don't think i'm her type."

ruby dropped the schtick with a pout. of course tiger would see no problem with simply making a move: tiger was effortlessly gorgeous and everyone seemed to get along with him well. ruby was almost convinced that anyone would be willing at just the suggestion of something happening. "it's not going to happen and i shouldn't be delusional that something will happen. so i guess i can just admire from far."

the floor felt like a better option for her woes. ruby lays on the floor, eyes locked in on the texture of the ceiling tiles. she's silent for several moments. then, "you know, you're like crazy supportive. you shouldn't support a doomed yuri, though." she cracks a smile and reaches for him to join her on the floor. "i'll get over it. i know i will. but she's just ....so pretty. and her voice is angelic. i know once i'm over it i won't feel as intensely."

she sighs. whenever that'll happen.

"A pair of underpants with 'I heart city name' on from every city," he says with an entirely straight face. "Honestly, though. Anything you see that reminds you of me. Even if it's just a cool rock from the side of the road. Just wanna know you've been thinking of me. Can't have you forgetting lil ole me, right?" As if she could. Tiger's her best friend, and she's his, and despite him worrying a little about the time apart, he's got faith in their friendship; they can withstand the distance, and time apart. As they say, distance makes the heart grow fonder.

However, Tiger quickly finds himself frowning down at Ruby, and following her to the floor, where his sits with his knees bent, forearms resting atop them. "You know... you miss all the chances you don't take." He gets it. He'd been afraid of showing his feelings for people in the past, especially when he'd realised he liked guy as well as girls. It was terrifying, despite entirely accepting that it was okay to be bisexual. He was lucky; he never had to go on a journey of self-acceptance. Maybe he'd always just had a big ego.

But the thing is, Tiger thinks Ruby's like... the best person to exist. She's cool, and funny, and he's got eyes; he can see she's stunning. Breathtaking, in fact. She's a total catch, and unless this girl simply doesn't like women, Tiger can't see why she wouldn't like Ruby back. "Anyone who doesn't think you're the coolest, prettiest person to ever exist has no eyes and no brain, Ruby." He sighs, shifting over to lay beside her on the floor, his hands resting in the center of his chest. "I'm not gonna pressure you to confess, and whatever happens, I'm here for you. And I think you're super cool. If you get your heart broken out there I'm only a call away and I'll like... find a way to doordash ice cream to your hotel room."

He wants to reach out and hold her hand, but he doesn't want to risk a staff member seeing them and writing them up about 'inappropriate friendships' or something dumb, so he just turns his head and smiles reassuringly at her. "Rocket ship tonight?"

NIGHT MARKET @lgctiger

Lights, noise, scent of smoke and grease - too much for most introverts, let along this one with a poorly trained nervous system.

Jinyi put a hand over his racing heart and bid it to calm. He told himself to not fight the current of discomfort and instead, to ride its waves and go with its flow. This was, after all, the life that he had chosen. Better to drown in stimulus than sit alone in silence again. Better to disappear into a crowd than to stand out as the solitary one on the sidelines. Even if he didn’t belong, he could at least pretend.

He ordered two servings of tteokbokki from the stand that had the most interesting options and carefully weaved through the crowd to get to the rendezvous point they'd agreed upon.

"I got rice cakes," he announced, once he'd spotted Tiger. "Here you go." Jinyi offered his friend a bowl with paper napkin tucked underneath. "That's how it works, right? I am older, so I should be getting food and taking care of my little brother Tiger?" He smiled, soft like a feather, but heavy with sincerity.

Tiger has always loved the night. The orange glow of streetlamps, and the way the air grew colder. Nights in Seoul felt just as alive as the days did, though with an element of excitement washing over the scene. Dark corners held secrets and unknown dangers, and people huddled in puddles of light, like fluttering moths.

Tiger soaks it all in as he wanders through the market, weaving past people selling hotteok and bungeoppang. It takes all his self control not to follow his nose, and keep his feet moving forward. He'd been to the gym earlier in the day, and felt he deserved a good binge on street food, so it seemed the perfect outting for him and Jinyi.

He spots his friend easily; he's got that slightly stricken expression on his face that Tiger had grown used to seeing when he was in unfamiliar situations. The presentation of tteokbokki, however, draws a grateful groan of relief from the depths of his chest, "oh my god- you are a lifesaver! I forreal thought I was gonna wither away and die, bro." He gladly takes the bowl, and immediately skewers one of the rice cakes into his mouth, moaning and leaning his head back. "If you keep buying me tteokbokki, I'll let you do the whole 'big brother's treat' thing. You know it's my guilty pleasure." Poking the little stick into another rice cake, he reaches out to link arms with Jinyi, "let's find our next course while we eat," he says, before tugging him off through the crowds once more.

"you can't miss me too bad while i'm gone." the sentence is followed by a giggle as she twirls around @lgctiger in the practise room. this was one of the last times they were going to spend any sort of time together for what feels like the longest they've been separated since becoming friends. the mission was the trainee showcase. a daunting task for ruby, who was only on her second year of being a trainee. she's not sure how it would go for her when she doesn't like singing.

she'd much rather do a co ed performance, if only that meant she had the comfort of her best friend being with her. she teases him, but the truth was that of the two, it would be ruby who would struggle with the distance.

"it does mean," she starts, pausing in her dance around her friend. "that i get to travel with the pretty trainee that caught my eye." she hadn't said a name, at least never in legacy grounds. they had developed a code name for her, the pretty trainee. they had long since established that ruby was being ridiculous with this lingering crush. even so, she had yet to get over it. until then, she'd choose to enjoy the ride. "i don't think anything will ever happen but it'd be nice to spend the time together."

His eyes follow her, and a bright laugh bubbles up past his lips. "I'll try my hardest to stay strong," he assures her, grinning and slowly turning to keep his eyes on her. Tiger can easily admit that he'll struggle with the distance; usually he spends at least a little time every day with Ruby. She's the first person he seeks out when life begins to feel hard, when certain things spark old memories that give him stinging paper-cuts. Ruby's sort of his rock. Which, when you think about it, is rather comical to say. He's not even sure when she became his best friend; something just clicked.

It's exciting for her to get to jet off and see different sights, though, and Tiger can appreciate that, even if it's at a detriment to him. "You better bring me back souvenirs." Items mean little to Tiger, but knowing she'd thought about him at least a few times when shopping for something to gift him would soothe the pain of weeks without their night-time catch-ups beneath the rocket ship in the playground near the dorms.

"You don't plan on taking advantage of the fresh new exciting sights to make a move?" Ruby had talked about this 'pretty trainee' a lot recently, and despite a little sliver of jealousy Tiger felt at his best friend finding someone even remotely as cool as him, he was happy that Ruby had someone to 'set her cap at', though it seemed she really had no intentions of making her feelings known. Had it been Tiger with the crush, if that's what this was, he'd have made a move already. Life was too short to put things off until the 'right time'. There never would be a right time, and then before you know it, the opportunity's slid through your fingers.
