Kim Jonghyun "JR", son of Brigid ♊︎

[amaterasuxmp]

" oh, man, i'm sorry! i'm so clumsy... "

Amaterasu's usually smiling face was a mix of worry and amusement. Already some of the museum gift shop's clerks were busy cleaning up the mess and she in turn looked towards the demigod responsible.

"That was the only time I've ever seen somebody knock a whole shelf of souvenirs. Are you okay dear?" She offers her hand as if to pull him away from the disaster area of smashed snow globes with various little figures of the Museum's exhibits.

"Come on, I'll get you to the infirmary. How did that happen, I wonder?" Her golden eyes swept over the tall demigod's frame, assessing for injury that would require a visit to the hospital rather than just the museum infirmary.

Jonghyun gaped at the shelf of snow globes that now were nothing but shards of glass in puddles of glittery water, heart palpitating in his chest urgently. What have I done?! His panic set in as he tried to count how many of these ornaments he had smashed, his head already hurting from all the calculations he was doing. He couldn’t help but pick up the price tag that laid soggily on the floor, shuddering at the thought of multiplying this for compensation.  “I’m... I’m sorry,” his head hung low in embarrassment, a palm reaching to clasp at his forehead as he recalled this horrible moment. He had only walked into the store out of curiosity, as he spotted a windchime he liked at the window; he was pondering the option of decorating his empty apartment with something small like this, and now he should be expecting to be paying for much more than that. The stinging sensation on his palm brought him back to the present, and he looked down to find small cuts sprinkled across the skin. “You didn’t have to... I caused so much trouble!” He protested weakly, but followed the goddess anyway, feeling like he could rely on her kindness to soothe his tension a little longer. He knew eventually she would thrust him a big bill, but he tried not to think about that for now.

I’m In Trouble / Ahri & JR

[mpxjr]

@mpahri; continued from here

“That was absolutely insane,” Jonghyun gasped as he took off his helmet with Ahri’s GoPro attached to it, shaking his head vigorously to free his forehead of his bangs sticking onto it. When she had asked him for that favor, he didn’t think much into it as not much was revealed to him; all he knew was that he was tasked to drive her somewhere in her new bike. He certainly wasn’t out looking for any trouble, but that was something he couldn’t wrap his head around. Ahri seemed to not only gravitate towards such situations, but also had a force that dragged others into them, too.

He thought he had quite a good command of the motorcycle, but his targets were gods, one of them a god of war, too, even. He was obviously no match, so when Ahri threw that compliment that certainly didn’t sound like one, his eyes widened in protest. “Are you seriously saying that right now? And I thought I was the one who went into this not knowing who I was supposed to be chasing after,” he exclaimed, following her into the building not only to review the shots on the GoPro, but also to demand that meal and beer she definitely owed him. “Come on, I don’t even need to look to know that the clips are definitely going to be as good as they can be.”

New In Town || JR&Eros

Continued from here with @mpxjr

–*

  Eros laughs and shakes his head at the last bit of what this new face says. It was a fair thing to wonder and were he in the demigod’s shoes he would likely be thinking the same things! He puts the car in park for a moment to better talk to the other man.   “That’s not rude,” he says surely. “It’s good to ask and make sure that it’s normal. Mount Phoenix is a bit different than the mortal realm is and it is largely very common to help your neighbors around. Especially if the weather is a bit blistering!”   He hits a button on the side panel of his door and it unlocks the side door for the other, the heavy metal of it swinging upwards instead of the door being one that opens outwards. Thankfully it’s slow so the new guy has time to move out of the way of them. Eros comes into full view then and he waves from his seat. The AC is on and inviting in the summer heat as he sits there. “I’m Eros, god of love and lust. Happy to meet you! What’s your name stranger?”

[mpxjr]

If he were back in Seoul, where a single wrong step he took could take him straight to living hell, he would have booked it, like the way he ran here to this island. It still had his heart beating right out of his chest, just the thought of that. But this place was different. It was enchanted, for god’s sake. He was safe here; he just needed to get used to that idea. “Alright then, if you say so,” he finally nodded after a long moment of thought, wary but grateful all the same. It didn’t help that he was slightly fidgety, and perhaps his broader smile and the way his eyes crinkled under the sunlight would not let the man - no, god - misunderstand.  “Well, nice to meet you... Eros,” he worded his name slowly, making sure he got the syllables right, for it sure was odd meeting someone with a name he only heard from boring Greek history documentaries dubbed in Korean. “I’m Jonghyun,” he mumbled as he stepped into the car and reached out to close the door, a little sheepish about the fact that he didn’t quite know how to close it. As if he would be prepared for a chance to sit in one of these cars, he retorted to himself inwardly. “Some call me JR. I go by both.” Rubbing his hands awkwardly at his knees, he looked over to give the strikingly handsome god a quick grin before looking down at his fingers again.

Jonghyun at the Summer Gala

[mpxjr]

" you stayed? "

"Yeah," Jonghyun replied simply, turning his head to take a proper look at her. They were alone in the park, and the skies were so clear that stars shone, sparkled brightly in the dark. There were quite a few others just relaxing out here under the moonlight, but soon it was just him and Hotaru whom he spotted a distance away. This surely wasn't chivalry, but just an instinct that wouldn't go away even though he was in a differently place now. He most likely didn't have to worry about ladies hanging out alone at night. But he stayed anyway and shifted closer, and although he didn't know her well, he gathered she wouldn't take such gestures kindly. So he shrugged nonchalantly, rumbling through the plastic bag beside him for a can of beer, cracking it open and taking a long swig. "Want one? I've got an extra."

[mpxjr]

" what's mine is yours. always. "

Jonghyun had been hustling. He hadn't been here long, but with nearly nothing in his pockets, he felt uneasy whenever he let himself stop and rest. Today was another day of work, and after arranging some new arrivals and organizing this month’s bestsellers, he took a seat at the counter, chewing on a roll of kimbap while scrolling through his phone attempting to find some sort of app or website that people here on the island would use to hire part-time staff or task-doers.  It wasn’t long before he felt restless again, and he ignored the slightly stuffy feeling near the top of his stomach from shoving his lunch down too quickly, and dragged out another box of new photography albums from the back to begin sliding into the shelves. He finally got to find out who he was when he arrived onto this island, a place he somehow stumbled across, found, but never quite understood why. He knew he was different from others somehow, and while he knew exactly how now, he was hesitant to reach out to his mother, whom had also settled down here recently. It all seemed like fate - no, destiny - that he was to be here right when she decided to stay, and he knew it came from her blessing. So to show his gratitude, he wanted to hold off meeting her until he deemed himself somewhat presentable and dignified. Not right after what had just happened a few weeks ago back in Seoul, no.  Yet he never considered the fact that Brigid would come and seek him herself, and time seemed to have stopped when the bell chimed at the push of the front door. He wondered how she would be like, how odd it would be to face a complete stranger and call her his mother, but his doubts have all been wiped out, and all that was left was a sense of relief, even comfort. He felt complied to rely on her, and he didn’t want that just yet. He bit at his lip to hold back the rush of emotions, yet his eyes remained fixed on his mother’s beautiful face, shoulders rising and falling from heavy breathing. “If I deserve it, that is,” he managed after a long pause, the words themselves sounding spiteful but they were anything but. Before his mother, he became vulnerable and helpless, and after all, he was just a young man who occasionally needed someone to lean on.

Oh I’m in trouble...

[mpxjr]

" wow... you look... you look amazing. "

Jonghyun gave Jayoung a pointed look, eyebrows raised but one corner of his lips upturned into a grin. Jayoung’s bold, honest displays and expressions sure made it easy to convey his across, too. His hand slid onto the counter of the bar, fingers tapping in thought, before he leaned in to look her in the eye, gaze darting to observe the pretty hues of her eyeshadow and the lovely curve of her lashes. “Didn’t you say I looked like a wild monkey the other day?” He knew she was probably just poking fun at his work look, but now was his turn to do so, too. He made it a point to prove that he could clean up well. “Keep saying that and it’ll inflate my ego,” he concluded, grabbing her drink without asking and taking a sip out of the glass.

[mpxjr]

" you need a lift? " Eros says after he's rolled down the window of his car. The day is blistering hot and no one should really be walking if they weren't a snow or ice deity. "It's hot out!"

Jonghyun didn’t think settling in a new environment would be this easy. Within moments he had an apartment, a job, a goddess mother, no less, and even friendly neighbors who offer rides to complete strangers. This was a lifestyle he would never comprehend. “Who? Me?” He leaned down a little to peer into the window at man in the driver’s seat, eyes widening with a small grin that looked a little pensive. “That would be nice, but is it common for people here to offer rides to random people on the street?” It was hot though, certainly, and he reached back to wipe at the sweat dripping at the back of his neck, his other hand holding a bag full of instant food and water that would have to make do for now while he figured out this place. “I don’t mean to be rude, but I’m just curious.”
