reunited

[rktiffxny]

(* there’s a curt laugh, an awkward, forced, tense, out of place laugh as she wipes at her eyes, shaking her head ) i’m not crying, you’re crying (* it’s an immature response, she’s more than aware of that, but it’s all she can muster the courage to say, a joke to replace how she’s feeling. a placebo for a real answer. she shakes her head, wondering why him coming closer makes her feel more weak, more vulnerable, more prone to the tears welling up in her eyes again ) i’m fine. (* another laugh but it’s softer this time yet just as awkward, even more hesitant ) it’s okay. (* she’s a broken record again and tiffany absolutely despises those moments, when she has nothing to say ) i asked you … it was my fault (* and those words hold true for a lot of things when it came to them ) i should be the one saying sorry 

[rkjayce]

let's get you home. {/a hand is brought up to her lower back and he's pushing her in the direction they had once been walking as if she needed his aid to keep up. the dogs almost immediately get up from their positions and follow behind them, and there's just the pitter patter of their paws on the streets that fill the silence between them as they walk once again. it's needless to say that the hand that had been placed to push her in the right direction hasn't moved away, and whether it may be because he has forgotten, although unlikely, or because it was yet just another excuse, it stays on her lower back as they make their way through the streets.}

[rkjayce]

back so soon? (jayce x hyuna)

[rkhyunakim]

The hood falls away from her head, playfully sticking her tongue out at the male in a cheesy greeting. But the pink muscle retracts when he touches her face, eyes shutting and whining at him while her hands swat at his to stay away from her face. It doesn’t take her long to do any of her make-up, but she would rather keep it on than getting it smeared by his hands if he had his palms up a little more higher. “Not the cheeks. Anything but the cheeks— okay, not just anything.” She blinks for a moment and glances over to the area behind them, just to see the set-up of the venue and it’s just as she remembers it.

He said ‘song’. "Did you suddenly decide to pick up singing while I was gone or are you still rapping, cause I could’ve sworn you just said ‘song’—" Maybe she’s been in training for so long that her definitions of the word are a little warped. Some songs can be rap songs, dummy, she reminds herself with a mental smack to her forehead. She waves off her mistake and smiles, “I wouldn’t miss it for the world. When are you going to drop a mixtape?”

With her hoodie off, there’s a few more greetings here and there of people saying they haven’t seen her in a while. Others state that they’ve missed her, while there’s the few in the crowd that… don’t seem too happy. But it’s not like she’s going to go on stage and rap, since she’s never really competed in rap battles. Her thing’s been more of dancing. Rapping was something she never really knew up until late last year and a bit of this year before Bobby came into the picture and became her mentor. 

They’re just mad.

[rkjayce]

calloused fingers retract from her face as she's pleading and although blank for a second, he quickly remembers why she had requested 'anything but the cheeks'. he remembers, although it is a little foggy because it seems like it's been ages since she had made her way back to the scene he thought sh truly belonged in, the first time he had smeared her make up and she had gotten rather upset. not that he knew much about the topic but he had assumed it had taken more than a while to perfect the make up, and he had left it at that.

"yes because rap songs aren't song right?" he's playfully teasing as his brows are raised, and he just assumes it's due to the countless hours spent training. it was hard for him to imagine what a life as a trainee would be like, especially so because it seemed so hard to endure the tight schedules they forced upon their trainees as well as the fact they had little to no freedom. it was harder for him to watch more and more people fall into the lifestyle and although he felt happy for them, it meant less time for him that he had to spend with them, and it was now affecting the people most closest to him. it seemed like he shared the preference of underground over companies with no one.

although she waves the mistake away he's still teasing at it, and shoulders come up in a shrug before calloused fingertips run over the watch on his wrist, which is then brought up to check the time he had left. "i actually have picked up singing. not singing tonight though. maybe some other time. and i'm working on something. i'll give you a little sneak peek, but i needa go now. be right back." with the click of his teeth, he's retreating back to the stage where thick fingers grab the mic that's been laid aside for him.

carousel (jayce x gd)

[advsungkyung]

julian took a step back and observes silently as the other works his magic on the old, abandoned carousel, mostly because he didn’t know what to do and because he didn’t want to stand in the way for the other, but also because it was fascinating to see him work on it like he owned the place. he let out a low whistle when the carousel comes back to life, a grin spreading across his features and he nods in approval. “that’s neat.”

his ride of choice is on one of the horses although he doesn’t really trust himself enough to stay balanced enough so he grips the post, the other hand busy bringing the drink towards his lips and he takes another sip. all that spinning plus the alcohol in his system was not a good thing. something was bound to happen. he would have to see how long he’d be able to sit on that horse without falling off. “it’s great here, so far. met a lot of interesting people, done a lot of crazy stuff.”

[rkjayce]

as the effects of the alcohol slowly begin to take him over, the lights in the children's ride becomes blurred and the music slowly begins fading away, although he can still hear it in the back of his mind while trying to tune into the other's voice. the other's around him had settled into their respective rides, and as the ride begins to, or at least feels like, speed up, chocolate hues settle down onto the figure in front of him, nodding and jutting out the lower of his lips.

"you know, so--" it's then when the power of the machine shuts down, and the ride comes to a whirring stop, lights dimming before they shut off completely and music surely fading away. peeking up from his set, he can distinctly make out two men in uniforms and he's reminded why they had stopped frequenting the abandoned ride. "shit." alcohol tinted breath spills out as he mumbles under it, placing the bottle behind the structure in hopes it would help their case, although he was sure it didn't do much.

unwillingly

[xrkyoona]

{ ` yoona had no idea where he was coming from, but she presumed that it would take some time before he would arrive in front of the nova building. she debated going inside the building to practice some more, but she also figured that by the time she got inside, he would be texting her and probably complaining as to why she wasn’t where she said she would be. knowing jayce, he would probably do something of the sort. instead, she plopped herself down on the bench in front of the building as she pulls out her phone to entertain herself while she waits. she’s so enthralled in playing disney tsum tsum that the honking of the horn caught her off-guard } oh my gosh. { ` she exclaimed as she rushed up from the bench and got inside the car } hello oppa! { ` she noted in english, taking the opportunity to speak her native tongue whenever she could, even though hearing that in combination with the korean title was a bit strange } how’s your night been?

[rkjayce]

{/eyebrows are furrowed together as she climbs into the car, and his facial expression shows anything but delight in seeing her as her voice carries out in their more comfortable of tongues because that had always been their relationship, and no matter how many times he told her that she was too chirpy or that her emojis annoyed him, those very things helped pick up a rough day.} tiring. i better be getting food that's worth more than my car. {/a smile finally breaks through to his lips as he's looking back, steering the car out from its current position back onto the road.} you? {/he returns the question, glancing over at the younger seated next to him. if she had been training all day, there was no doubt she was more than exhausted, and that was one of the things that brought him more towards the underground and to reject companies.}

[rkjayce]

some nights

[rkhyunakim]

/she’s already making her way back to her apartment, with a quick swipe of some treats from her boyfriend’s place in hopes that Chocolat wouldn’t mind a missing treat. just one wouldn’t hurt, considering she doesn’t have a single one at her place and she doesn’t own a pet to need that reason. not too far off down the hallway, she can see a figure standing at her door and a chuckle falls from her lips with a light shake of her head, Champ’s bark drawing on one from another canine living on the same floor. slippers pad across the hallway floor, her hair pulled back messily as she approached with a grin; Chaaamp. /she calls to the dog, pulling out the treat to show him as she got closer;

[rkjayce]

{/soft thuds lead him to turn his back to the door and face down the hallway, and he's greeted with a familiar face, his face contorting to display something of disapproval, and his head shakes.} tch... you see me here and the first thing that grabs your attention is champ... {/and of course the pup is more than elated to catch the scent and sight of a treat handed out just for him, and he's tugging at the leash that's place in his owners rough palm.} alright, alright. {/bends down, setting the puppy free from the restraints of the leash as he unclips the leash from his collar and he watches as the small pitbull dashes towards the other, jumping up onto his hind legs to reach for the treat.}

▪▪▪ { ❛ something out of a dream —

[rksunyoung]

she nods at his words, making sure to take his advice in and actually remember to use it, especially at a time like this. although sunyoung has been living in seoul for quite a while now, there were certain places that she didn’t know of, nor even stepped foot in during her stay — this particular district was one of them. if it weren’t for her friend, she probably would be sitting in her apartment, wondering what if but not trying in fear of getting lost. obviously, she was quite happy with her decision to have faith in her friend and go with him, because if she didn’t she wouldn’t be talking to one of the rappers who she’s been following for ages now — to say sunyoung was simply thankful would be a little of an understatement. groomed eyebrows raise at jayce’s confession as he speaks, “really? you guys handled it really well ~ i don’t go to many rap concerts so i just thought it was something of the norm, honestly.” a small, almost shy chuckle escapes past her lips, 

at the mention of heading home she nods again, eyeing how the hoard of people slowly seemed to be separating, disappearing from the scene in order to do what he just advised her to do — she should probably do the same. sunyoung gives him one last grin before she’s turning her head behind her, eyeing the crowd only to see that her friend isn’t in the same spot that she left him at. “what the fuck…” is mumbled underneath her breath, body turning to face the opposite side fully while her eyes frantically search the area for the boy that she came here with — because if he was gone, then sunyoung had no way home. the soft sound of laughter that rung in her ears from the left was recognizable, and as she turned to see her ‘friend’ driving off with another girl in the passenger seat, she had to will herself not to scream right then and there. the buzzing of her phone soon after symbolized that she received a text, and it only confirmed what she assumed the situation was. “looks like my ride just left me for a booty call,” the girl reveals to jayce quite bluntly, running slender fingers through brunette tresses as eyebrows furrowed in annoyance. though despite her situation she flashes another smile his way, one that’s slightly salty and forced compared to the others moments before, “it’s alright, though. i’ll just see if i can call up someone else to pick me up, or something. i’ll be out of your hair soon, i promise ~”

[rkjayce]

he's got to say that this had been one of the longest conversations he had had with a fan, not that he was complaining. it's just that they were always so focused on getting a picture and he had always had time for just that so conversations more than a minute long were rare, but very much appreciated. even now though, like everything else, their conversation must come to an end. he would hate to keep her out for so long, especially more so because it was getting late and she needed to get home safely. brows furrow together in concern as her back is turned towards him, and although the crowd is loud, it is dispersing and the phrase that happens to end in a cuss makes it to his ears. "everything okay?" the statement that follows soon after earns a small chuckle from him as he shakes his head, sighing as calloused fingers run through his hair, his locks falling back down into place. "hey... don't be so harsh on him. we have needs y'know." the crowd before them is slowly thinning until the scattered people amongst the streets can no longer be called a crowd but random by standers decorating the sidewalks alongside the two of them, and as he's hoping it's not too much to stay with her throughout the entire time, she speaks up again.

"it's not a problem. i wouldn't want to leave you alone and find out that you've been kidnapped and i was the last person to see you the next morning when your face pops up on the news." a chuckle closely follows the statement, and his back is pressed up against a brick wall near them as he awaits the response from her friend with a nod in response to her. chocolate orbs flicker from the image in front of him to the accessory on his wrist, before determining that trying to read the time on his watch was futile and fished out his phone instead. his shows never tended to last too long, but because of the set time that had been placed upon them, they had no choice but to comply and end a bit later than usual. he wonders why they hadn't reserved another venue as his part in order to fill the silence between them. "are you from around here or are you visiting korea?"

short term relief ( jayce ★ kaia )

[kaiark-blog]

{` she hadn’t really thought about what they might be playing that night but then again it wouldn’t really matter much to her either. it was a theatre that she went to often because they played some rather interesting older movies. it was a bit of a guilty pleasure for the woman who was so modern that even the concept of camping was an absolute nightmare to her but when she grew up mainly raised by her grandparents it was the genre she was mostly used to. } nah, no idea. but they usually play really good ones there. i’ve seen a favorite film or two there just stopping by on chance.

{` as they neared the black 2015 kia forte she’d recently acquired from her fathers sponsorship, the door was unlocked with a press of the button attached to the keychain and she freed her hand from his arm to make her way around to the drivers seat. } {` her eyes rolled at his question, shooting him a playful challenging raise of her eyebrow. } and if it is? {` it most certainly was not. those kind of sacchrine love stories always made her cringe and sometimes she would even be yelling at the characters for how dumb they were. she was an action movie fan but more specifically old gangster movies. } you know what? i hope they play the notebook. ryan gosling is soooo dreamy. {` she put emphasis on the ‘so’, hands clasped together and eyelashes batting as if she were some love stricken middle schooler. even saying it made her cringe, her head shaking as she laughed and pulled open her door. } they usually don’t. i’d probably burn and collapse into myself if they did. though i mean, if you wanted to see ryan gosling we can arrange something, hon. {` she laughed as she said, her bag placed on the back seat as she climbed into the drivers seat. the car still held the new car smell since it was less than a week old but just underlying it was the smell of the perfume she used often, Chanel No. 5, and the faint scent of air freshener placed on the air vents. } {` keys pushed into the ignition, she turned them to start the car and the music was instant. the bass on blast and speakers loud no doubt to get her hyped on her way to work, the Flawless Remix by Beyonce featuring Nicki Minaj filled the small parking lot before she could turn it down, jumping in surprise. }

[rkjayce]

{/her response brings out a chuckle, as he had known it would've been her response, because she had often brought up titles to movies he had never heard about, and after doing some research, it had always turned out to be one of the more outdated forms of entertainment. it was always nice to have someone with different tastes though, because that would lead him to try new things and who knows if it would become something he would obsess over. tonight would be the first time watching one of her beloved old films, and although he wasn't too ecstatic about the fact, there was no doubt that he had been waiting to try one out. there just hadn't been time offered or enough will power to bring himself to load one up and sit back to relax, because in the recent days it felt like time had always fallen short, and he was always wishing there were more hours in the day.} 

{/he's settling himself into the car she had told him about less than a few weeks ago, and he remembers her saying something about her father purchasing it for her, although whatever reason there was has slipped his mind. the smell of the new car eases him a bit, as he knows it's, well, new. there couldn't be too much he disliked in here, and even if there was he would try to look out the window until they reached the destination.}

{/it's rather hard to surprise jayce, and that was very well known amongst his friends. no one had ever gotten a genuine surprised expression at one of his birthday surprises, but it wasn't as if it was something he could control. he had always been somewhat immune to them so it's more than funny to him when the music blasts off and it causes the other to jump in her seat, although it does make him wince the slightest bit as his ears are sensitive and the loud music catching only his ears by surprise, but calloused fingers reach over to turn the dial down as he chuckles.} i think that was god's way of telling you that ryan gosling and you are never going to happen.

some nights

[rkhyunakim]

[ ✉ JC Chasez. ]

Yeah cause no one except one other person’s been in my apartment since I moved to Hongdae like, a month ago.

[ ✉ JC Chasez. ]

I’ll make sure it happens on your shoes.

[ ✉ J형. ]

Make Champ bark so I know you’re actually there and not the delivery guy.

[rkjayce]

{/there's a sigh as he slips his phone into his back pocket, charcoal orbs looking down at the panting dog next to him that has made himself comfortable on the floor outside her door.} kim hyuna, i swear to god... {/sighs as he raises an eyebrows at the pup next to him pursing his lips because this is the perfect time to test out if the trick he had been teaching him would stick.} champ. {/ears perk up and wide puppy orbs look up at him at his name, a small smile tugging at his lips. he had always found it hard to hide his affection towards the little animal.} ...speak. {/almost immediately there's a response that brings about a wider grin as a bark rings throughout the hallways of the building, bringing about a bark from a different source, possibly the dog hyuna had borrowed a treat from.}

[ text: to jayce ] i have whatever money you need.

[ text: to jayce ] i knew you’d come around. i’m already at the front of the building.

[ text: to jayce ] oppa is the best! (▰˘◡˘▰)p>

[rkjayce]

[ text: favorite dongsaeng ] i know

{/it doesn't take as long as it would take for him to get ready, half of the reason being that he's been too lazy to change out of his clothes after walking champ, and although it was unusual for him to not change as soon as he entered the house, he hadn't entered his room, and he hadn't been home for too long anyhow. car keys move against each other and decorate the hallway with their sounds as he makes his way down to his car, the engine rumbling to life as soon as he's in it and wheels bring him closer and closer to nova. it doesn't take long for him to get there, nor does he need to ask for directions. this hadn't been the first time she had needed a ride from him.} {/windows are rolled down and eyes scan the front of the building, horn honking as he spots the petite girl waiting outside.}

[rkhyunakim]

[ ✉ J형. ]

If that’s the case, go home and leave him there ㅠㅠ Chaaaaaaaamp.

[ ✉ J형. ]

You’ll probably meet the delivery guy on the way here. [ Attached Address ]

[ ✉ J형. ]

Please make sure he shits outside and nowhere in my apartment. It’s probably gonna be one treat stick and I’m sure Chocolat won’t mind.

[rkjayce]

[ text: twinkle toes ] you act like i haven't been over before [ text: twinkle toes ] i'll make sure he let's everything go in your room [ text: twinkle toes ] open the door i'm here

[ ✉ J형. ]

[ ✉ J형. ]

YES. Hang on, gonna steal some dog treats for Champ from my neighbour a couple floors above me.

[rkjayce]

[ text: twinkle toes ] no he cries cause he doesn't want to see you [ text: twinkle toes ] alright fine [ text: twinkle toes ] don't take too much i just fed him 

[xrkyoona]

[ text: to jayce ] i meant to say plus. not times!!! (T⌓T)

[ text: to jayce ] can you pick me up from the nova building and take me to the mall? i’m really tired. but i need to get some things.

[ text: to jayce ] they’re lovely. they make my day tbh.

[rkjayce]

[ text: favorite dongsaeng ] sure you did  [ text: favorite dongsaeng ] ... i thought you said i wasn't going to regret it [ text: favorite dongsaeng ] what do i get in return

[rkhyunakim]

[ ✉ J형. ]

Champ likes me okay he would rather come to me than anyone else, let’s face it. 

[ ✉ J형. ]

Are you saying that when you’re not walking Champ, you’re wiping your ass all day because there’s 24 hours in a day and seven days a week and I don’t get a text until I send you one? #rude

[ ✉ J형. ]

Hurry up before I decide to go sleep

[rkjayce]

[ text: twinkle toes ] is that why he cries every time i say your name [ text: twinkle toes ] you know sometimes i wonder why i associate myself with you [ text: twinkle toes ] i'm bringing champ i'm too lazy to go home and then go over

[rkjayce]

rkyoona 

[ text: to jayce ] i said it. and i’m always right tbh. [ text: to jayce ] mmm…nope, no regrets in asking. i promise. [ text: to jayce ] why are you whining? they’re so adorable (▰˘◡˘▰)

[ text: favorite dongsaeng ] you used to insist six times eight was fourteen when you were eight... idk about you but i doubt that's right [ text: favorite dongsaeng ] aii what is it? [ text: favorite dongsaeng ] no stop they bother me

[rkhyunakim]

[ ✉ J형. ]

The noise I just made because Champ—

[ ✉ J형. ]

Does that mean you picked up his shit with a really thin layer of plastic and now you’re touching your phone that you put to your ear every time there’s a call and then when you’re using it and you’re not walking Champ and you put your hands all over your face cause ew.

[ ✉ J형. ]

Then jam session yo. I can try to play like Beethoven and you rap my ear off while you get free food.

[rkjayce]

[ text: twinkle toes ] champ doesn't like you [ text: twinkle toes ] ... [ text: twinkle toes ] maybe this is why i don't text you as often as you'd like [ text: twinkle toes ] yes rap to beethoven
