That doesn’t go past Haneul. “What do you mean? I don’t…remember dying.” He’s confused, but he keeps it at that. “Hey, don’t focus on it. Maybe it was just a bad dream, you know? Those happen. I’m just glad we’re not fighting anymore.”

↳     it was so clear, and distinct an image in his head. the fox pulled away from his friend, worry still on his features, “it just feels so real.” and with reese saying hanuel’s soul was splitting due to being reborn to many times, was it possible tae was seeing one of hanuel’s pasts? but how could he if taekyung himself hadn’t been there for it...unless he was too? pushing back the confusion in his mind, he forced a small smile, “ but yeah! fighting doesn’t look good on us. and everyone else in the dorm gets upset about it too, so we have to stay strong together.”

Haneul brightens considerably, wrapping his best friend tightly in a hug when he does. “You’re not allowed to die, Taekyungie. Even if I have to do everything in my power. You and Woowoo have to live forever, you know. I can die eventually, but you two are true loves.”

 ↳     tae’s life ends when his fox reaches nine tails. but that’s so far off from now, it’s difficult for him to even try and coneptualize it, “all three of us forever then. I already watched you guys die once, I’m not doing it again. i definitely can’t do that again--” taekyng paused, his grip on hanuel tightening a bit, “...what am i saying? where did that---”

“Still, I know you were trying to help. I shouldn’t have lashed out either, I’m in the wrong too.” He sighed, fidgeting with his fingers. “I kind of figured. I can’t remember things as well, it’s been harder for me to transition because I can’t remember how. So I figured. And Reesie is always hanging around near me, I know he doesn’t do that unless something’s up.” A pause. “Well, I guess I should just live the best I can right now, right?”

↳     “you should !! -- but not because you might die. you’re not going to.” taekyung moved across the room to bring his friend into a hug, “hyunsik-hyung and falyn-noona are going to figure out how to fix you so you can live a long life, hannie. we’ve still got  lot of things to do together, and i’m not going to die for a few hundred years so...you’ve got to be here for at least that long.”

Oh. That’s what this was about. Reese ruffles his hair a bit, immediately growing nervous. Like Atlas hyung said, everyone deserves to explain themselves. That’s what drives him to nod silently, a tiny frown on the usually bright maknae’s features as he sits down as well on the opposite end of the bed.

↳     ethan turned his cup in his hands, gaze locked on the liquid swirling around inside as a result of his motions, “i don’t know how seeing works for you, but for me...it’s sort of a genetic thing. my entire family are seers. but when i was young, my seeing powers didn’t manifest like everyone else’s. my ‘seer gene’ as it were was dormant. so my parents worked with some shady ass people to force awaken my seeing ability. and it hurt...a whole fucking lot. and it always has hurt because it was forced in an unnatural way. and even when i screamed and cried, my parents told me that no matter what you’re feeling or going through, you have to power through and you can’t let things look bad. you have to suck it up and grow up. after a while, those words just sort of became my mantra and the things i would say to cope when i was in pain.” he turned his head to look reese in the eye, “and when you hear and say things enough, you start parroting them to other people. i’m not...saying this as an excuse, but it’s...what i went through is why i approach things the way i do now. I know inside it’s wrong, but it’s something i have to work hard to combat. I don’t mean to be harsh to you, reese, you’re---you definitely don’t deserve it. i’m sorry for being such an asshole hyung to you.”

“Come here.” He reached for Jia, pulled her into his arms, and laid back on the bed. It felt like it had been months since he’d last seen her, and he needed to hold her for a bit. Gabriel turned his head and pressed a kiss to Jia’s temple, then her cheek. “I’ve missed you. Just stay here for a while, let me hold you.”

↳      "how long is a while?” she questioned softly, letting herself get wrapped up in his arms and fall in a heap on the bed. The warmth of the embrace and the familiar feel of his lips made her miss this kind of normal life. One not packed with schedules and strict curfews, “--i do have rehearsals to get to later.”

“I hate it too. I know friends argue sometimes but I hate it. Still makes me really sad when we argue like that.” Haneul shrugs, rubbing the back of his neck. “I’m not angry at you anymore Taekyungie. You were just trying to help me.”

↳      taekyung’s smile was small a bit, “...i went about it wrong though. my answer is always to run away from things. to erase things, to act like they didn’t happen because it’s easier than facing it head on. i shouldn’t push that on other people. and with...” should he say? didn’t he have the right to know the state of his own soul?, “...with--your soul, hannie. reese says it’s splitting. and if you get to stressed, you could break. having memories of your ex laying around felt like...something that could cause you to break before we can figure out how to help you.”

He has every right to be suspicious, considering that Ethan doesn’t usually do this. Still, he gingerly takes the drink with a gentle smile. “Thanks hyung. This is my favorite.” It’s nice to know that the elder pays attention to things like that. “Was there something else?”

↳      taking a sip of his own drink, he moved past the maknae and sat down on the bed, “yeah. i want to be a responsible hyung here and resolve things. i hurt you...i didn’t mean to, and--i owe you an explanation about some things. if you’ll listen.”

“Ah, I mean. I don’t mind either way. In hindsight, I was changed younger, so you’re still older than me in a sense of your age. I was twenty one when I was changed.” Falyn blinks, suddenly surprised with the question. “Yes, it’s possible, though sometimes you want to forget. I was a princess during the Shang Dynasty. Was, at least. Not anymore.” She smiles, gently shrugging. “I had so many dresses and grew a lot of flowers.”

↳      “well, let’s just say you look great for eight thousand and leave it at that.” he smiled, “a princess...that makes perfect sense, actually. as long as i’ve known you, you’ve had this sophisticated air to you. your regal upbringing really shines in your personality.”

After the argument, Haneul had pretty much distanced himself to practice. He’s incredibly behind and needed to catch up on some of the choreography for Side Effects. “Mm. No.” He sighs, running his hands through his sweaty hair as he looks at his roommate. “What’s up…?”

↳      "i--” he didn’t even fully know what to say. he hadn’t really prepared anything. all taekyung knew was that he wanted to make up and have things go back to normal, “we never got back to talking again about the ring thing because i went to jiwoo’s so--i thought we...should get it out of the way. i don’t like being in an argument with you... it’s not good for either of us to be upset with each other.”

“Uh, well. Uh.” Oh. Oh no, he hadn’t gotten this far. He hadn’t even thought he’d confess today. He just goes with his gut. “My next move would be asking if you want to see a movie this Friday with me. Or whenever you’re available. I mean, if you want to.”

↳      "mhm...solid move, solid move. well i would then probably suggest something else like going to the zoo or the aquarium because i’m a sucker for animals and movies are shit for talking and hanging out. what would you say to that?”

Ever since being slated for the survival show, Reese had been practicing even harder. He had to be in the final lineup, if anything, to prove to himself that he wasn’t a failure of a person and that everything he’s been told is wrong. He has to prove it to himself. He’s been practicing the choreography for Focus, his audition cover song, stopping the music when he hears the door. “Yeah?”

↳      “hey.” ethan held one of the drinks out to him -- an iced pumpkin coffee from two star’s in house cafe in the lobby, “they started selling the pumpkin drinks at the cafe, so i got you one on my way back from the studio.”

↳      two drinks in hand, ethan lightly tapped on the door to reese’s room with his knuckle. he didn’t want to startle him or catch him off guard from his practice of...whatever he happened to be practicing at that moment. be it singing, dancing, or trying to be more ‘tough’, it always seemed reese was up to something in his room, so ethan wanted to be respectful and not just barge in.

“Yeah.” He’s very serious, just gentle and serious as he tells her all of this. Sure, all the stuff about his friend was a bit sad, but he could care less about that as much as it did hurt. “Uh, probably since that one day we hung out and you didn’t treat me different. Not like everybody else. You treat me like a real person, not some guy with some issues. I feel normal when we hang out, human. I can be myself with you.” He sighed. “I didn’t say anything earlier because I didn’t want to lose you. Stupid fears in me telling me I have a chance at losing you forever, you know?”

↳    solbin let out a small scoff and shook her head, shifting from her slightly slouched position to fully upright “alright, so. you like me and have liked me and now i know about it. what’s your next move?”

↳      "....hey, hannie...” taekyung poked his head into the door of the practice room to find his roommate, “are you--are you busy or anything?” they hadn’t spoken for a day. he hadn’t even seen hanuel since the argument.

“I don’t think you’re dumb or anything.” Mikey sighs hesitantly. “It’s okay to not like me like that, but I have a pretty big crush on you and I’m not playing around there. It’s okay, cause I’ll take care of my feelings but I also like, I hate lying? You know what I mean? And you’re a really cool girl and I don’t like keeping secrets from you.”

↳    “you--” solbin paused, taking a long moment to process the confession. taking a moment to register all the dumb shit she’d said up to this point that probably made mikey feel a bit awful, “since when? how long have you been into me and why didn’t you say anything sooner?”
