@mphoshi

He nearly jumped out of his skin when Hoshi crept up behind him and placed  a hand on his shoulder. Baekhyun was a stealthy creature by genetics but that didn’t stop him from getting scared when the tables were turned on him.

He laughed awkwardly to show he wasn’t too fazed by Hoshi getting the jump on him and settled for a grin that might have looked painful. “It goes with my dazzling personality.” He joked but blurted the first thing that came to mind. “Huh, knew you were cute then, still are.” 

Foot meet mouth. Baekhyun was normally smooth when it came to flirting. (At least he thought so, never mind what Hwasa and Hyuna thought of his skills) And he only ever blabbered when he was nervous. Which was what he was now. Quite nervous. 

It was one thing to share hilarious cat videos with the guy, whom Baekhyun actually treated like a friend, it was another thing entirely to meet him.

“So….” He rocked a bit in his chair. “Hi. Hoshi. Hoshi Hi.” He stammered, feeling his cheeks get red as his hair. Oh shit. Shit. “How you’ve been? Sold any melons lately?” SHIT. SHHHHHHIIIIT.

@mpbaekhyun

Hoshi smiled from ear to ear at Baekhyun’s adorable reaction to him. He was normally the shy one of the two, even behind a computer screen, but seeing him all cute and caught off guard made the younger feel even more comfortable around him. He rolled his eyes at Baek’s prideful quip and sat in the seat in front of him. “Yes, you are nothing but sparkly,” he giggled sarcastically and shaking his head playfully, “Still just as much of sweet talker as before too. Do you still have girls following around like you used to brag about?” Since the blonde had the upper hand for the first time EVER in one of their conversations, he thought he’d finally tease him back for once. Hoshi was always shy and not exactly social; he always saw Baekhyun as his better half who was more optimistic and confident which made Hoshi look up to him a lot. Still watching his best friends stumble over his words so much made his cheeks flush red too. He hid his face in his hands as he chuckled at his redhead friend’s strained question. “No.. Not yet at least. I actually still have old melon seeds from the farm grandma sent with me,” Hoshi chuckled, fiddling with one of the napkins just laying on the table, leaning in closer to him. “So~ did you just call me over just to stare me Baek? Should I buy us something?” Hoshi asked, his smiling half-crescent shaped eyes looking around for an employee to call over.

[mpminho-blog]

“Sparkly?” Baekhyun repeated, feeling a teeny bit suspicious at such a word to describe him, but he took into stride. Sparkly seemed like a compliment, and Hoshi was never a guy with guile. “ That’s me, Sparkly Bacon.” He grinned only to scoff at Hoshi’s comments about the girls. God, he was such a dork.

“Oh, I let them take a day off. We’d need elbow room away from them,” He waggled his eyebrows and flapped his arms and elbows, looking even more ridiculous. 

When Hoshi blushed as red as he did, surprisingly that made Baekhyun relax a bit more. If both of them were stumbling around each other like idiots then it couldn’t be too bad, could it? They were friends and they joked about a lot of stuff even amidst flirting so it should be okay? RIght?

That was until Hoshi leaned over so that their noses were almost touching. Baekhyun sat still enough so his eyes widened considerably. A beat, before he flashed what he hoped was a dashing smile.

“Well I could stare at you all day Hoshi,” He winked and dared to tap his finger against Hoshi’s cheek before pulling away. “I am kinda hungry…” He pouted thoughtfully. “I’ve stocked up on all the coffee this place has to offer though, but I wouldn’t mind buying you anything…” He squinted at the over-eager waiter as he approached.

[mphoshi-blog]

Hoshi laughed, loving Baekhyun's responses to him. He was just as much of a nerd as he rememebered. "Right~~ Elbow room, of course," Hoshi responded sarcastically as played with the spare napkins on the table.

The young, light-haired boy could almost swear he heard both of their hearts pounding when he leaned in towards him that made his breathing hitch. It was how different the two of them were acting around each other in person, despite talking for such a long while. A small smile creeped up on Hoshi's face once Baekhyun poked his face and hurridely looked away, motioning for a waiter to come.

Running his hands through his hair, Hoshi looked up kindly at the waiter, ordering green tea and banana bread for himself and allowing Baekhyun to order whatever he wanted from here as well. It was the least he could do for his only friend. Once the guy finished taking his order, Hoshi finally leaned back in his seat and finally started to fold one of the napkins he was just haphazardly spinning around. "So Baek," Hoshi started in order to break the silence that was trying to form around them, "What are your plans here for Mt. Phoenix? As far as living here? Are you here on a top secret mission or just here to live comfortably?"

How lucky was he to pick out such a sweet bystander, not only playing along but worrying about his comfort? Really, what a cutie, all soft voice and stutters. 

Slipping the gloves on gratefully he nuzzled closer, turning his face further into the stranger’s shoulder and winding arms around one of the other boy’s as the men come closer, passing them and continuing on down the street. It feels like the necklace in his pocket is burning but It’s easy to pretend they’re good friends, cuddling up in the cold. ‘Act natural’, he breathes to himself. Maybe he should consider dabbling in acting. Not an overly touchy person this physical contact is very nearly making his skin crawl but he toughed it out, closing his eyes for a moment. 

Instead of answering verbally he nods, peeking out only once he knows they’ve passed, quietly dipping his head in their direction before actually looking at who he’s snuggled up with. “You really have a cab coming?” Eyes darting around he tries to decipher where the men went, and when he can’t find them he sinks a bit lower. “Let me come with you?”

@renxmp

Hoshi wasn’t exactly the most comfortable person when it came to skinship with random strangers himself, but he endured it for the while that he was next to him. He wondered to himself what the pink haired male had done to be running from the group of males. As the voices became louder, Hoshi slightly sunk into the bench, watching as someone walked fiercely down the sidewalk away from the two of them. The guy was not only a foot taller than him but he also strong frame and muscles so large, it frightened Hoshi to even look at him walking away.

Turning his head back to stranger curled around his arm, he nodded his head and was about to assure him about the taxi when he noticed it turning the corner. “It’s here.. J-Just a few more seconds.” Hoshi looked around cautiously noticing the three men, still in sight but walking away still. One, however, had caught sight of the taxi and was now eyeing it down, possibly to check to see who came out of it. “W-when it comes, you go in first quickly. O-one of the guys may be watching us, okay??” Hoshi said in a scared yet assuring voice. When the taxi rolled up, no passengers were in there. The small blonde got up to open the door and let the stranger get in first before quickly getting in behind him and closing the door. Hoshi told the driver where to go, finally taking a long sigh as the taxi began to pull away from the stop. ‘Why do I always end up in situations like this?’ Hoshi thought to himself, sweeping his hood off his head. “S-so is this common to you stranger? Running away and hiding from big buff men in suits?” Hoshi asked the boy beside him, assuming they were now far away from the people looking for them.

[seonghwaxmp]

The way he hits the pavement sounds much heavier than it really is. Boots meeting cement send jolts up his legs but he leans back against the wall, blinking into the shadows and listening for approaching footfalls. When nothing comes he slips out of the alley, tossing the hood of his hoodie back. Bright pink hair bleeds to black and he glances this way and that, coolly blending into the crowd.

His fingers wrap around the necklace in his pocket- stolen property, but so glowy and interesting -and then he sees someone sitting alone at a bench. How sad, he thinks, to be hanging out all alone on a nice night like this. Behind him in the alley he can hear a shout, three men stumbling out, looking for him. Effortlessly he slides into the space next to the stranger and drops his head on their shoulder, hoping they’ll play along. 

“Looking for company? Waiting on me?”

[mphoshi-blog]

@renxmp The night was freezing cold, but Hoshi stayed pretty warm with his silky, cream muffler and Hello Kitty themed earmuffs. The young boy had nothing else to do, other than play in his thoughts as he roamed around the city. He figured he'd do something interesting or fun to make himself feel better after a long and dreary day. Hoshi had impatiently called a taxi a whole ago as he'd grown sick with treading through the cold winter night by himself, despite the fact he was probably seven minutes of walking away from downtown. His entire body shivered and trembled even under his large white winter pecoat. He sniffled slightly to himself, taking in the overwhelming loneliness of the evening when he felt someone scoot close to him on the bench and lay their head on his shoulder. Flustered, the young male tilted his head forward a bit to catch a glance of the stranger who was now cuddled up beside him. His bright pink hair shimmered under the street lamps and his physique was so lean and soft-looking, Hoshi could barely distinguish him as a male if it weren't for his voice- even though Hoshi wouldn't be one judge others in terms of looking girly. "Uh, y-yeah," Hoshi said questioningly, before he heard the distant sound of angry voices coming from the alley. The sheltered country boy was very dense when it came to serious situations as these, but he knew how to act at least in order to help those in impending trouble. "I j-just called a cab. It should be here soon." Hoshi said calmly, looking down at the other boy, just as freezing as he with no protection from the dangerous weather. "Oh my gosh, aren't you f-freezing?" Hoshi asked in the tone of a concerned parent looking at their child's bare hands. The light blonde immediately took off his gloves and handed them to the stranger, along with his earmuffs that he then placed on top of his silky pink head and throwing his furry hood on his head as a replacement. "Are there people l-looking for you?" Hoshi whispered so softly, his words almost blended with the rustling of the leaves in the frigid, winter wind.

@mpjennie

The small boy nibbled on his rice crackers, staying mostly silent other than for the constant, light tap on his teacup as if touching it would help the tea steep faster. Hoshi smiled when he saw how Jennie’s face filled with color after drinking his tea. It was nice knowing that even offering a small cup of tea to someone could help them, even for a little while. He followed behind her in his mannerisms, removing the bag and placing it on a napkin to the side and sipping the hot, letting the hot liquid course through his body and make me feel awake and warm inside.

Hoshi was a bit surprised to hear Jennie’s reason for coming to Mount Phoenix. He supposed everyone except him knew who they were and merely just wanted to live a free life enhancing their skills and powers and living amongst their godly family. It was almost reassuring to know that he was not the only seeking family. The young boy cradled his teacup with both hands, allowing the heat to warm up his cold, pale hands as he responded. “I’m here looking for family too~ I…. left my grandma behind to come here. She said it would benefit me more here than at home with her. I do have a older brother now, which is  p-pretty awesome, but I’m hoping to one day.. meet my mom and hopefully ask her why she.. left me the way that she did,” he said, taking another sip of his tea.

Letting the memories slip away, Hoshi reached for another rice cookie watching how Jennie looked at his tea as if she’d just drank fairy dust. “Nothing unnatural~,” Hoshi joked, taking another bite at his cracker, “The blend was jasmine, raspberries, strawberries, and carnation petals. The tea leaves themselves came from small stubbly plants near the bush you found in. I’m not sure what plant it is, but it has the qualities of both mint and aloe plants, so they are tough but have a nice taste and are super rich in vitamins.” As much as he knew that when he went into one of his plant rants no one knew what he was talking about, he enjoyed explaining his medicines and plant knowledge to people. It was the only time he kind of felt smart. “O-oh! And I do live alone. Sorry for not answering earlier. I just moved in around two weeks ago, so I don’t really know much about town or many of the people here..”

There’s some pain in his voice when he talks about his past. Jennie doesn’t really know what it’s like to have siblings because she has always been an only child. She wonders if Hoshi was abandoned as a child by his mother. He must miss his grandmother a lot. It seems like a lot of demigods are wandering and searching for their parents. It’s just a weird period in her life and she’s sure that it’s the same for him. Every demigod just wants answers, really. Jennie places the cup on her lap since it has cooled down. Her thoughts drift to memories of her own mother. Athena has always been a strong and independent goddess. Maybe many gods feel like they’re above being parents.

His face lights up when she asks about the ingredients. She lightheartedly jokes, “What if it paralyzes us from the waist down?” She happily takes another sip, “Then you’re held accountable.” During military academy, she was taught to be cautious of nature. She’s familiar with wilderness survival. Yet, she didn’t come across any dangerous plants during her venture into the forest. Maybe it’s another security measure City Hall has taken. She remarks with her eyes fixed on him, “You should really follow me into the forest next time. Maybe there will be some stuff you like.” Although, she won’t be surprised if he refuses.  

“Since you’re not a forest bunny, what do you usually like to do?” Between school and work, she tries to look for ways to kill time. She usually plays sports or hangs out with her friends. She’s waiting for him to say something like he collects Chinese antiques on the side. Maybe she’s being too mean by teasing him when she barely knows him. “Do you like baking?” At this point, she’s looking for something in common they can talk about. “I work at the bakery. It’s pretty cool, I guess.” For some reason, she begins rambling about her work at the bakery. “You should see my boss. He owns the place but can’t bake at all.” She lets out a little laugh. “He tried making a batch of brownies but they came out hard as rocks.”           

[mphoshi-blog]

Hoshi almost choked on his tea at the idea of it doing anything harmful to anyone, nevertheless paralyzing someone from the waist down. “O-okay,” Hoshi said with a half hearted laugh, touching his ears nervously as they’d became burning red after her remark. “I promise this isn’t any w-witch elixir or anything. Just tea.” He smiled and finished the rest of his tea graciously, enjoying every sip of the natural, sweet liquid. Luckily, the younger boy had finished his tea when the next shocking thing left Jennie’s lips. “You’d come with me?” he asked, his eyes widening and sparkling with excitement. Hoshi was thinking about the forest ever since the two of them had left; after finding so many wonderful herbs around it, he could only imagine what sort of magical herbs were in it as well. “O-only if you want I mean. I’m not sure you want a s-scaredy cat like me following behind you in the forest while you are hunting.”

Hoshi ate his the rest of his crackers quietly and bashfully at Jennie’s last question, wishing that she wouldn’t ask anymore, however he was expecting her next question soon. Stretching his legs out, he almost bumped the table when the hunter girl used his own words against him, laughing at himself and slightly at her joke. “I-I am not forest bunny, indeed. I go to school for pre-med. I-I guess. I haven’t really decided my major officially. I also bake a lot and drink a lot of tea. I collect plants. Make medicines…. Oh! And I work at Miach, it’s a tea shop near downtown~ You should come and visit sometimes.” He kept eye contact with Jennie almost the entire time and with a wide smile, finishing off his little ‘about him’ vent with a happy giggle. This was longest conversation he’d held with anyone before, so Hoshi was nothing but interested in what Jennie’d say back.

mpbaekhyun:

@mphoshi

You know how you have friends that are you’ve known since childhood and somehow you don’t talk to them anymore? And you know how you’ve got friends that it’s cool that you don’t talk often but you know you’re still friends? And Baekhyun’s favorite category of friends are those friends whom you just met online or through texting and haven’t exactly seen these friends in person but you know they’re the coolest people to hang out with. Hoshi definitely was categorized in the third list.

Baekhyun and he exchanged numbers in a random encounter that consisted of bus tickets, a grumpy old woman and an old box of crackers, but that story would be for another day. Long story short, Baekhyun had gotten Hoshi’s number oh so many years ago and they would text throughout the years. Hoshi was probably one of the few people who knew Baekhyun before he became Cheshire (though Baekhyun was very vague about his work as a hacker), so suffice to say Baekhyun kept him updated about stuff in his life and vise versa.

When Baekhyun moved to Mount Phoenix, he was surprised to find out Hoshi was around the area, and quite characteristically invited him to hang out, catch up that sort of thing. It was only later did he realize he hadn’t exactly told Hoshi why he was in Mount Phoenix to begin with. That he was a demigod, so he wasn’t exactly your normal kind of weirdo now.

He sat at the coffee shop, fiddling around with his spoon, waiting for Hoshi, practicing ways in how to tell his friend that he was a different kind of weirdo.

“Surprise, I leveled up?” He muttered under his breath, reciting lines as he waited for Hoshi to show.

Hoshi was walking lackadaisically to the coffee shop around the corner from his apartment since his long time friend, Baekhyun, had called him and told him to meet him there. Long story short: Hoshi went out to go sell some of his grandmother’s watermelons and came back with 500 dollars and a phone number. He claimed he was a hacker named after some cat and always hyped himself up so much, but he was also kind when he wanted to and seemed to be really interested in the tiny farm boy he randomly found on the streets. Living basically in the middle of nowhere, only living things near being his grandmother and the stray cats that roamed the fields, it was nice to have a friend the same age as Hoshi that he could talk to and annoy sometimes. Even if it was just through text and memes of his face all the time. Either way, the young male wasted no time getting to the cafe, soon walking through the door and greeting the workers that were welcoming people at the door. Hoshi looked around until he saw the tall, pale male he called his friend looking off in the face as if he was having a conversation with someone already. Jokingly shaking his  head, Hoshi slowly walked over to him and trying not to bust out laughing when he heard him rehearsing to himself. He placed his hand on his shoulder before walking in front of him and smiling. “Nope. I always guessed you were this tall in person,” Hoshi joked before sitting in the seat in front of him. “I didn’t expect the bright colored hair though.”

Taekwoon shook his head, trying to prevent his rage from really erupting. This poor child did not deserve what he was throwing out, but it did not matter to him. He was in a bad mood, and he was given a doll to take his anger out on. A scoff leaves the vicious man’s lips. “If I want? I do. However, you’d probably mess that up too.” He spitefully insults the other.  He can’t help but to enjoy watching the other cower before him. Taekwoon stands all the way up. “Don’t be dumb. I wouldn’t hurt you. There is a whole crowd watching you be a fool. I wouldn’t get myself put in jail over you.” Though he was still steaming, he saw a silver lining in this. “Anything. Don’t promise something you won’t follow through on.”

@mpxtaekwoon Hoshi kept his eyes locked on the ground, trying not to cry or provoke the older, much more angry man anymore than he already had. His heart pounded so harshly, he swore that others around him could hear it. The younger boy ran his hands through his hair nervously, looking up at the stranger. He wished the stranger would just take pity on him; he had to be looking really pitiful about now. “I promise. I’ll clean your shirt. I’ll pay for your food. I’ll do anything.” Hoshi said, still bowing on his knees.  Of course, the young boy had no idea what he was signing himself up to do, but in order to clear his conscience, this is what he had to do.

Inari just gave a little smile, looking down at the fox in question when Hoshi asked him to be safe. He ruffled the kit’s head, telling the fox telepathically in which it simply yipped. He gave a soft laugh, and straightened back up again. “He told me that he will certainly say away from the cars.” “I am pretty new to Mount Phoenix,” Inari explained, already turning to walk back out of the alleyway. He beckoned with his hand, as if wanting both the fox and Hoshi to follow him. “Where’s your favourite place to eat? Is there a good diner around here?” He asked softly, looking over his shoulder at him. 

@inarimp

Hoshi beamed with complete and utter awe as he watched Inari speak to his little, tiny fox companion watcher of the town. He smiled in response when the god told him the little fox promised not to be in the way of many cars, nodding his head at the cute animal. The young demigod was almost completely absorbed in attempting to talk to the fox in his mind like Inari when he noticed the god was walking off. Both him and his somewhat new found fox friend scurried up to catch up beside him as he walked out the alleyway and down the sidewalk.

“Well, I’m actually pretty new myself… I just moved here a couple of weeks ago and I haven’t been to too many diners. But, I think I know a good one that’s near hear. It’s a small cafe called Miach~ The food there is pretty healthy and light, but it’s really filling,” Hoshi explained as he attempted to keep up with his strides. The younger had to take almost 3 steps for the god’s one step, similar to the baby fox on the other side of him. “S-so, you are the head of police of Mount Phoenix? Y-you must be super powerful if the Council entrusted you with the position,” Hoshi continued, speaking admirably of the older man. The young demigod was doing a good job of putting up a nonchalant front, but he couldn’t be anymore excited. He was the embodiment of a GOD, for crying out loud. He helped make the world what is it. The innocent teen really thought he should bowing at his feet by now, but maybe it was because he spent all his waking childhood reading about mythology and knew how awesome Inari really was.

Chuckling slightly at the fact that Hoshi had never been here before he smiled at him, before replying, “Sure hoobae, just a grab a tray from that cart over there and then you can look at each stall and decide which kind of food you want. There’s Chinese, Greek, Arabic, Japanese, Italian, and other kinds of cuisine. A menu should be listed next to each restaurant, so you can pick what you want. After that you pay with a credit card or cash, but only if you’re not part of the meals program, here you can follow me and I’ll show you the ropes!” Looking at his hoobae, there was something about the guy that made him want to protect and help him. He was so innocent and always curious, reminding Namjoon, slightly of his older brother Jin, however nothing about Jin was innocent, but the man was always interested in everything, he had to give him that.

Deciding that he was in the mood for Greek cuisine today, he made his way over to that area of the cafeteria, making sure Hoshi was following him, so the younger wouldn’t get lost. After all the cafeteria was huge and it was pretty normal for someone who had never been there, to get overwhelmed easily. But before he walked further he remembered what Hoshi had said earlier about trying not to be a bother to him. Turning around again Namjoon said warmly, “Oh and hoobae? Don’t worry about being a bother, I like you, you’re a good guy, so I’ll take you under my wing and teach you all my study tips. I only work a couple of days a week, so don’t stress too much about needing my help. I’m sure you’re plenty smart on your own, so just think of me as your secret weapon for extra success.”

@mpnamjoon

Hoshi followed behind closely behind his senior while excitedly looking around the huge cafeteria area. It was its own mini food court: numerous lines for so many different types of foods, different seating arrangements from tables to booths to lounge areas with sofas. Hoshi had been to malls and hotels a couple of times when he had visited the city to sell goods from the farm, but never did he see anything as extravagant as this place.

He stayed no less than a foot behind him as he followed him to the Greek section of the cafeteria before he stopped. Halting in place, Hoshi let out a small “yes seonbae?” in case he had accidentally did something wrong. The response was nothing of the sort, and instead made Hoshi smile gratefully and ruffle his hair out of shyness. “Oh, thanks seonbae! I-I promise I’ll be the best student you’ve ever had under you!” Hoshi said, not quite sure whether his sentence made since, but just went with it. He followed Namjoon through the crowd finally getting food. Of course, being the nature boy he naturally is, he got a Caesar salad with pita bread to the side. Somehow, he was already registered as a part of the meal program at the school, so the meal checkout lady walked him through the procedure of getting a meal card and sent him on his way. Hoshi walked over to Namjoon who’d already gotten his food and looked around the large building hesitantly. “Do you want to sit next to the windows, seonbae?” Hoshi asked, pointing over to the tables and booths near the large windows that gave a perfect view to the autumn covered view of the campus.

Seokjin laughs. “Okay, I’ll add you to my growing list of apprentices. Don’t worry, though. I’m not very strict.“

He hums to himself, until Hoshi surprises the cra- ahem - living daylights out of him. “Your mother?” he splutters ungracefully.

He points at himself, and then to Hoshi. “You’re my little brother?” He pounds his chest as he coughs. “Sorry, I’m just-” he coughs. “Surprised.”

He takes a few moments to catch his breath again. “I’ve never had a biological younger sibling, that I’ve know of, much less a younger brother.” He sticks out his hand, planning to pull the younger into a hug. “Noe you have to call me Jin-hyung! Don’t call me sunbae. I’ll have to- to- stuff you to death,” he threatens jokingly.

“I also have a full older brother - I might’ve said that already - but if I get back in touch with him, we could all meet up. He’s your brother too, I guess.” Seokjin laughs, scratching the back of his head.

“A younger brother,” he says more to himself than anything. “Wow.”

@mpseokjin

Hoshi paused just as older male had paused in front of them. He could obviously tell he was in shock. Of course, if some random boy came into his apartment and ate cookies and pointed at a picture of his grandmother and claimed he was his brother, it’d take him a while to comprehend as well. The young boy therefore suppressed some of his feelings for the moment, watching Jin’s face as he took it all in. He chuckled softly when he said he was surprised. When he offered his hand, Hoshi tried to just shake it, but instead brushed past it and gave the older a huge bear hug. Well, as large as it could be as Hoshi’s head was barely at Jin’s shoulders.

He truthfully couldn’t believe it himself. He finally had a family of his own. One he was sure that he had a blood or well godly relation too. It had been the first time in his twenty years of life where he felt part of a whole and not just separated from the world. Hoshi laughed at Jin’s threat to stuff him with cookies, sniffling softly, doing his best not to get too emotional. After a while, Hoshi stepped back and sort of wiped his eyes acting as if he wasn’t about to cry a couple of seconds ago. “S-sorry.. It’s just r-really nice to know you are part of something. To be part of a family, you know?” Hoshi smiled, rubbing his head shyly and bashfully looking up at his big brother. “Just know more of your cookies are going to go missing now, h-hyeong~” Hoshi joked back, smiling brightly, his eyes turning into bright half crescents that shone with nothing but happiness.

When the young man starts pouring boiling water into the cups, Jennie detects a faint smell of the tea. There’s a floral and fruity scent emanating from the kitchen. It’s not too potent; in fact, it’s soothing. He places the tray in front of her and the tea has a golden color. Steam rises from the cups. She obeys his warning and decides to wait until the tea cools down. She watches him open the rice crackers. She does not understand the correlation between carrying weapons and rice crackers but they look awfully delicious. She bites into one. It’s light and crunchy. She places her hands around the cup and the heat transfers to her finger tips. She lifts the cup to her face and takes a small sip. Her lips gently wrap around the mug so she doesn’t burn herself. It doesn’t really taste like anything she has had before but it’s enjoyable. The weather is getting colder but the tea helps her body to warm up.    

What did she come to Mount Phoenix to gain? That’s a really good question. Obviously, her military career isn’t going to take off anytime soon. Does she say that her father can now sleep without being worried about his wild daughter? Actually, she came to be with her mother but she’s not sure what this is going to do for her future. She replies, “I came to meet with my mother and my father thought it would be a good idea for me to move here… How about you?” It is better that he talks about himself rather than see her struggle trying to open up about herself. She stares at a vase nearby. “Do you live alone?”  

“By the way, this is nice.” She raises the cup, indicating that she’s complimenting his tea brewing skills. She stares at the golden liquid. “What is it?” She’s hoping he’s not trying to drug her. Nevertheless, she’s still curious to know what’s in the tea. She adds, “And the rice crackers are good too…” Usually, cookies are served with tea but Jennie doesn’t mind having crackers instead. Overall, she appreciates his hospitality. 

@mpjennie

The small boy nibbled on his rice crackers, staying mostly silent other than for the constant, light tap on his teacup as if touching it would help the tea steep faster. Hoshi smiled when he saw how Jennie’s face filled with color after drinking his tea. It was nice knowing that even offering a small cup of tea to someone could help them, even for a little while. He followed behind her in his mannerisms, removing the bag and placing it on a napkin to the side and sipping the hot, letting the hot liquid course through his body and make me feel awake and warm inside.

Hoshi was a bit surprised to hear Jennie’s reason for coming to Mount Phoenix. He supposed everyone except him knew who they were and merely just wanted to live a free life enhancing their skills and powers and living amongst their godly family. It was almost reassuring to know that he was not the only seeking family. The young boy cradled his teacup with both hands, allowing the heat to warm up his cold, pale hands as he responded. “I’m here looking for family too~ I…. left my grandma behind to come here. She said it would benefit me more here than at home with her. I do have a older brother now, which is  p-pretty awesome, but I’m hoping to one day.. meet my mom and hopefully ask her why she.. left me the way that she did,” he said, taking another sip of his tea.

Letting the memories slip away, Hoshi reached for another rice cookie watching how Jennie looked at his tea as if she’d just drank fairy dust. “Nothing unnatural~,” Hoshi joked, taking another bite at his cracker, “The blend was jasmine, raspberries, strawberries, and carnation petals. The tea leaves themselves came from small stubbly plants near the bush you found in. I’m not sure what plant it is, but it has the qualities of both mint and aloe plants, so they are tough but have a nice taste and are super rich in vitamins.” As much as he knew that when he went into one of his plant rants no one knew what he was talking about, he enjoyed explaining his medicines and plant knowledge to people. It was the only time he kind of felt smart. “O-oh! And I do live alone. Sorry for not answering earlier. I just moved in around two weeks ago, so I don’t really know much about town or many of the people here..”

‘No Admittance except on Party Business’

Hoshi rolls his eyes playfully and pushed Baekhyun’s shoulder. “Oh hush… Every time I’m with you it is ALWAYS party business. Either party business or other kinds of illegal business… Of course your secrets are safe with me Bacon. We should schedule some ‘party’ business together when you are free” ;)

[mphoshi-blog]

'I would rather share one lifetime with you, than spend all the ages of this world alone.’

“O-oh! Oh my gosh, that’s really sweet~ Thank you so much Namjoon Hyung!” Hoshi smiled and bowed, before catching his words. “I-I mean seonbae… I’m so sorry. I mean unless you want me to c-call you- I mean you are like a role model to me, hyung, I-I mean seonbae..” Hoshi rambled on, fiddling with the rings on his fingers and avoiding your gaze as much as possible. “I-I feel the same about you too….” Hoshi mumbled softly, hiding his face in his hands and scooting out of his sight.

At least Jennie and Hoshi have something in common. Similar to his grandmother, her parents thought it would be best for her to move to Mount Phoenix. Obviously, her father thought moving to Mount Phoenix would be a better option than Jennie enlisting into the Special Forces on her own. Even though she’s bored most days, she tries her best to keep herself occupied. She has yet to experience her first real battle, where her life is on the line.  

She replies casually, “Sure, that’s fine… I guess.” He should really be careful about walking backwards. After all, he is kind of clumsy. Yet, Jennie doesn’t really say anything about it. She follows him to the elevator and eventually to his room. The short trip is awkward, with few words being exchanged between the two. For some reason, he gestures for her to step first into the elevator and into his apartment. She doesn’t really mind but steps in front of him anyway.  

She looks around his apartment. There’s a bamboo mat and a lot of plants. So, he’s telling the truth about collecting plants. Traditional Chinese art cover the walls and works of pottery are scattered around the apartment. Instead of making a snarky comment, Jennie appreciates the tasteful decoration of his apartment. None of the objects are in bad taste and it suits Hoshi quite well. However, it kind of looks like the room belongs to an elderly person. Her mother always taught her to show kindness to people who accept others into their own homes. That’s kind of ironic for her mother to say. When he suggests she make herself at home, Jennie looks around for a chair. She sits on a couch since it would cushion her behind. She sets her crossbow on the floor and quietly waits for Hoshi. Jennie watches him in the kitchen and he doesn’t seem to notice because he’s focused on making tea.  

@mpjennie

Hoshi was faithfully devoted his craft. He delicately split the stems of flowers opened, picked petals carefully of flowers, shaved off sorts of small buds and waxes from older, budding plants, and separated them into their separate containers. He made sure he place two of each plant off to the side to plant later. He hummed softly to him self when he went to his cabinets pulling out tea, other fruits, and a large container of water, gathering everything to assemble the tea.

He ground up some of jasmine he kept with some raspberries and cut strawberries. Then, taking some leaves he found off of a new plant he found at the edge of the forest, he covered the leaves in the fruit blend he made and let them sit. The young boy set up his tea kettle, stained a beautiful metallic brown copper color, and filled it with water to heat it up.  As the water heated, Hoshi ripped the sweet-smelling red leaves placed in small knit bags. Hoshi placed one of each bag in a teacup as the tea kettle let out a high pitched screech alerting him that the water was hot enough to use. He took the shimmering tea kettle and poured it into the cups allowing the tea to steep. The young demigod loved how every time he made tea, the water sparkled in the light with a goldish tint similar to when he healed things

Hoshi peeked over to Jennie to see if she wasn’t bored or asleep. He knew he’d been really focused on making the tea; reaching over to his cupboard, he grabbed some package of Chinese rice cookies before walking the tea over to the sofa where she sat. He placed the tray on the coffee table in front of her and then sat on the floor in front of her. “Watch out, it’s really hot… I-If you want a lot flavor, leave the bag in for longer,” Hoshi explained crossing his legs and opening a pack of rice crackers. “And I have rice crackers. They sound weird, but they taste really good. Especially after a long day of walking and carrying around weapons and whatnot.” Hoshi smiled, nibbling on one of the small oval shapes cookies. He enjoyed having Jennie over; she resembled an older sister Hoshi had never had, but one he always imagined would almost exactly like her, blunt yet somewhat caring enough for young boy to bear having her in his presence. “S-so what did you intend to gain from coming here? T-to Mount Phoenix I mean…”

She rolls her eyes when he gives her a look of confusion. When he asks her a general question about how long she has been living here, she replies casually, “Hm? Around two years? I came here after high school…” She actually moved to Mount Phoenix after military school and training for the Special Forces but she doesn’t want to reveal too much about herself. It’s a habit that grew with her personality as well as training and upbringing. She’s not a liar nor is she cold; she prefers to keep things to herself. She throws the question back at him, “How about you?”

He seems so enthusiastic about this nature stuff. For her, it was a nightmare trying to walk through all the vegetation in the forest. She clears her throat and asks curiously, “So, where are we going to have this ‘tea’?” She feels like she has a right to know about where he is taking her. She always has her guard up. Her crossbow may be on safety but she’s ready to react to whatever happens. Nevertheless, tea sounds relaxing, especially after a couple of hours of walking through the forest. Dessert sounds nice too, maybe a small cake.

After walking for a bit, they arrive at a building. It looks like an apartment complex. So, a random guy is inviting her to his apartment? It seems kind of sketchy and he’s awfully nice to her. Yet, she follows him anyway. If he tries anything, Jennie will be the first one to knock him out.  

@mpjennie

Hoshi twisted the plants between his fingers as he listened to Jennie’s answer. “Oh, I’ve only been here for a week or so now~,” Hoshi replied, brightly, “My grandmother told me that I-I would have a better life here, so she told me to go."  Hoshi smiled bitterly at the memory as he gazed around at the beautiful scenery around his apartment.

The entire look and felt just as calm as the appearance of the apartment building he lived in. He spun around to face Jennie, walking backwards confidently but still carefully, not wanting to fall flat on his behind in front of a stranger just yet. "My apartment~ I-Is that okay with you?” Hoshi asked only out of politeness as the girl seemed okay to go anywhere really. Turning back around, he caught eye the apartment building, coming to the front door and opening for Jennie so she could walk past. He called the elevator for the second floor, just because he didn’t really want to walk the stairs today. The two caught the elevator up to the second floor and exited turning the corner to his apartment. Hoshi opened his door with ease this time around and let Jennie walk in first once more.

The young adult was proud of his set up. It was his style too. A flat, modern style sofa sat in the living area with a comfy bamboo mat on the ground near it. The apartment was filled with numerous plants in distinctly decorated clay pots he made himself. He managed to find some pieces of  nice pottery and pretty pictures, mostly traditional Chinese art, to line the walls. It was simple and peaceful, the way he remembered his grandma’s house. Walking over to the kitchen, he placed his herbs and flowers on the counter and sorted them out before grabbing his wooden mortar and pestle and a couple of knives, looking up to to his new hunter friend. “Sit wherever you want; make yourself at home, if you want.” Hoshi smiled, going back to prepping his ingredients.

♢Brother?

Seokjin beamed when Hoshi complimented his baking. “Of course I am,” he singsonged. “My cookies are utter mastery. They’re the first thing I ever perfected.”

He giggled when Hoshi took another cookie. “Here, just take a bunch,” he insisted. “I have way too many, and it’s good if it goes to a hoobae,” rather than one of his useless cough Jungkook cough friends.

He shook the intrusion of a thought off.

Upon hearing Hoshi call him from his hallway, Seokjin pitter-pattered over to him. “Her? She’s my mother. Hsi Wang Mu, the Chinese goddess of healing. And next to her,” he pointed to a framed photograph of his older brother, his father, and himself, “is the rest of my family.”

He peered at the photograph. His brother took more after his mother while Seokjin took after his father, but they were still easily recognizable as siblings.

@mpseokjin

Hoshi giggled at Jin’s huge confidence about his baking. He wasn’t sugar coating it, literally, his cookies were the best ones the small boy had eaten in a long time. “Seonbae should teach me how to bake~” Hoshi cooed, between bites of cookies.

The brown-haired junior smiled brightly when he handed him more cookies, blushing slightly wondering how he had saw him sneak another one. He found a spare napkin and folded his cookies up cutely in it before walking over to the portrait. He felt as if he looked sort of similar to lady in the picture with smaller, crescent eyes, large cheeks, and basically non-existent ears. Hoshi smiled at the idea of it, his eyes glued to the picture.

Hoshi felt his heart skip a beat when Jin looked at the picture and told him who the person was. The young demigod stared at his goddess mother in all her beauty right in front of him, and looking beside him to see Jin, a random nice guy he met on the apartment floor randomly. A bit zoned out Hoshi mumbled to himself before speaking a bit louder. “Hsi Wang Mu, i-is your mom?” Hoshi asked again, not exactly awaiting a response. “She is my mom too~”

The young adult could feel his heart swell and and warm glow flow through his body, almost making his skin glow suddenly. He thought of his grandmother momentarily, or the lady he called grandmother; she said he’d finally meet his family when he arrived. Hoshi looked intently at his seonbae, no his new brother with wide eyes, almost welling with tears. “Are you…. I don’t- I h-have family?” Hoshi squeaked, taking one step closer to him, “Are w-we….. brothers?”
