🧺 ⌣ “ they’re just so … slimy and weird looking and some of them are so scary . not to mention there’s not telling what else is in the ocean , what if i see something i’m just not equipped to see ? sometimes i wonder if pacific rim was onto something , there could be MONSTERS deep down under the sea and i wanna live in blissful ignorance . ” finally she takes a breath after her long winded explanation , no care for how silly she must sound .
“ okay yeah that’s totally VALID . some of those deep sea creatures look a little terrifying . but again , there’s a reason why they’re in the deep sea . they’re NEVER going to see the light of day , ” they muse with a nod . ligaya does have a point ! “ safe to say that you’re more of a fear the ocean more than space kinda person ? they’re both terrifying but there’s just ... so much of the ocean that’s unexplored . ”

“Greek baklava is sweeter, so it’s better.” Duke decided, taking a quick glance at the two pieces to size them up and make sure he wasn’t getting short changed. Chloe would have loved this, his sister and her degree in Classics, Greece was probably the motherland for nerds like her… But he didn’t want to think too hard about it. “Stuff happens, you know?” Leave it at that. It was an answer. “You?”
“ i guess i can’t fault you for lacking taste , ” they lightly jest before helping themselves to a forkful of baklava . her mind wanders , wondering if there’s a chance the ship would be docking in turkey . given its proximity to the greek isles , they think they should ! “ wow that’s not vague at all , ” she chuckles , but leaves it at that . they know him well enough to not pry . “ broke off a long-term relationship because of work priorities and decided it’s better now than never to take a vacation , ” lara explains . “ although , i ran into my ex on the ship of all places so thats . . . fun . ”

✿ 𖥦 𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 , 𝑦𝑢𝑛𝑎 𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑠 ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑓 waiting to be served a sampler of twelve wines & a charcuterie board in a restaurant in santorini . clad in a white sundress , a pair of sandals , & a sun hat , she was basking in the sun & admiring the sapphire waters that surrounded the aegean islands . perhaps , she was too indulgent with the amount of drinks she was about to consume , but she goes by the saying : ' 𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑓 ' . yuna was scrolling through the pictures she took when she hears a familiar voice— she thought it would be a great idea to share the drinks . “ hey !” she waved over to their direction , a smile gracing her lips as she admires their attire for the trip . “ i may or may not have ordered twelve wines— care to join me ? it’s my treat . ”
santorini’s vibrant architecture and sapphire waters truly is a sight to behold . they amble along the streets , searching for the next thing to do . for today , lara didn’t have a list of activities . eyes survey her surroundings before seeing yuna waving her over . “ hey ! ” they beam at the other . “ twelve wines ? ” she asks , almost in disbelief but nonetheless sliding into the seat across from her . “ that’s certainly one way to enjoy your vacation . ” light laughter expels past their lips . “ but what else did you get ? don’t tell me it’s JUST wine . it’s barely midday . ”

“ 𝘰𝘩 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘩 ! ” leyla nods her head , ” i went as soon as it was open ! it’s so big too ! " she continues , sipping at the warm coffee in her hands . " it’s really relaxing . i bet it’s really cool late at night . “
“ and how would you rate it on a scale of one to ten ? ” she asks , reaching for the salt and pepper shakers to season her eggs . “ i did hear from someone that it’s pretty nice late at night . it’s giving me mind palace vibes . ”

✿ 𖥦 “ 𝑖 𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒𝑛'𝑡 𝑦𝑒𝑡 , 𝑤ℎ𝑖𝑐ℎ 𝑖𝑠 𝑎 𝑠ℎ𝑎𝑚𝑒 , ” yuna sighs , breaking off a piece of the bread in front of her and spreading butter on top of it . “ that was one of the first places i wanted to visit , but the first few days of work really got me struggling to juggle my free time here , ” a pout sits on her lips , popping the piece of bread in her mouth and savoring how fresh it was . “ are you busy today ? i say we should visit the oceanarium while it’s early . ”
“ my day is free so i’m down to explore . honestly , you’d be saving me another day of laying around at the sun deck , ” she admits with a light chuckle . while this cruise so far isn’t bad , most of the amenities are food-based . and she can only do so much ! safe to say they’re looking forward to docking and being able to get off the ship for a bit . lara stabs a fork into her fruit bowl . “ but what’s your day like ? i don’t want to take you away from work and get you in trouble for playing hooky . ”

“ you have to give this baklava a try , ” lara suggests , before cutting into the pastry . they cut two even pieces , placing each on a plate before handing one over to duke . “ there’s only a slight difference between the turkish one but maybe i’m just a little biased because turkish baklava is my favorite , ” she admits , light laugher expelling past her lips . “ so tell me , what’s going on with you and why are you on a cruise like this ? ”

it wasn’t difficult for teddy to feel at home in the various towns within greece. though it was still very different from her hometown, the woman felt a sense of belonging here, almost like she had family in this town. so it isn’t so hard to believe that she’s already made friends with the locals despite being here for less than a day. she’s got a glass of raki in hand, smiling at the local bland playing their own rendition of what sounds like… call me maybe? “don’t you just love this sorta stuff? oh, here. try some of the fried snails, they’re so good.”
she’s missed this . good food . good company . the livelihood . it felt like home . lara’s already helping themselves to the food without needing to be asked , nodding in agreement with teddy . “ definitely ! ” at the mention of fried snails , she’s already using a pair of tongs to grab one . “ they look delicious , ” they comment , maneuvering the fork to separate the meat from the shell . “ speaking of , have you tried the zucchini fritters ? it is just –– ” mimics the motion of a chef’s kiss . “ with the tzatziki sauce . ”

nimble fingers pick at the heat protectant sleeve covering the hot exterior of his latte cup, but immediately pause once his brain registers the question being asked to him. ❝ an oceanarium ?? is that just, like, an aquarium on steroids or something ?? ❞ ali asks with widened eyes. ❝ i haven’t but i’d be down to go if you wanted. ❞
sets her drink down and helps herself to a forkful of hashbrowns . “ i guess you could say that ? i assume it’d be like a large aquarium . ” although an aquarium on a cruise ship felt a little ... questionable . is it not just an underwater lounge ? “ i am curious now so we could totally take a couple hours to figure that out if you’ve got time ? ”

jaeyi listens to lara with a lot of attention while drinking his coffee, but ended up feeling a little bit disappointed when he heard the rest. still the smile was in his face and he nodded as his response ‘ is not my favorite part of the ship but i go there sometimes. ’ he adds, it made him feel kind of sad, lonely and maybe nostalgic and he didn’t even know why. ‘ but you should totally go if you haven’t seen it. ’
could they have gone a different way to ask about the oceanarium ? yes . but where’s the fun in directly asking ? “ oh ? if you don’t mind me asking , why so ? you’re probably the first person who expressed a different opinion than everyone else . ” and lara isn’t the type of person to let opinions influence her . however , she’d still like to know !

❤︎ ↝ ﹕ “ alright , point taken . but i think most of the amenities are just food related minus my clothing shop . ” now that pixie thinks about it , the owner might’ve been trying to distract everyone with their problems through good food . “ don’t ask me . i’m not an architect . although i’ll be honest with you , i don’t think the oceanarium is that big . ”
“ i think they might be onto something with all of these food related amenities . and adding some sort of oceanarium while at sea just really adds to the vibes , y’know ? ” light laughter expels past the lawyer’s lips . “ oh i haven’t gotten the chance to visit the clothing shop on board , yet ! i take it you’re pixie ? ”

ANOTHER HOME RUN FOR THE HOME TEAM or whatever. He won & therefore, it was the only thing that matter. One step closer to the goal & another step closer to the life he deserves and has battled to achieve. And, he should be somewhere else doing something else, not this, not going through the obligation of sitting in cruise as request by his friends and, even his new therapeut ––– only the thought of it made zeki laugh. But, for now, he would sit in his booth and will drink to his new contract signed at any point or any hours of any day, regardless of what. ❛ Okay people, the next round on me, cheers . ❜ He announces to anyone closer to listen, mostly, speaking through the phone, letting his associates know they could go out and enjoy, but also to whoever wanted to sink some alcohol in their systems.

head whips around at the sound of a VERY familiar voice . they think they’re hallucinating . there’s absolutely no way . what are the odds ? doubtful . she blinks twice , almost as if the action would cause her ex-boyfriend to disappear . lara internally curses . he’s the last person they expect to see . and it hasn’t been that long since they mutually called it quits on their relationship . so yeah , safe to say they clearly weren’t expecting to see him . nor is she prepared .
nonetheless , they signal for another drink from the bartender . she saunters up to the counter , pushing down any lingering feelings . a teasing smile graces their lips instead . “ well this is a surprise . i thought you’d be too busy for a vacation . or am i interrupting a work trip ? ”

❤︎ ↝ ﹕ keon only listens and nods in agreement . there’s just something so comforting about going to watch a movie with your pajamas and slippers on and just lounge around whilst eating something tasty . you don’t have to worry about anything except for maintaining the silence . “ i never had the time . ” he nods , glancing over at her with a soft chuckle . voice barely audible . “ i’ve always been so busy . i think coming to this ship is the only time i get to do stuffs like this . ”
this was ... nice . relaxing even . it’s moments like these that make lara realize that they’ve spent far too much time fixated on their career . and while it’s not necessarily a TERRIBLE thing to establish oneself , she needed to learn how to take a step back . “ i totally get that . the last time i did something like this was college . ” the lavish parties her family threw never really counted in her opinion . “ have you explored any other places ? ” she asks , eyes drifting back to the screen .

𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫'𝐬 𝐧𝐨, 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞; there are people there. his reading ceases long enough for him to reach for his tea mug, eyes flicking to the other. though he didn’t think he was the one being spoken to, what if he was? it’d be rude not to answer. once the mug clacks against its matching saucer, the nurse clears his throat before offering a softly spoken, ❝ no, but if you end up going, please do let me know if it’s worth the trip. ❞
his answer was unexpected as they’d been asking the server that’d just set down their food but lara welcomes it nonetheless . “ yeah , of course ! i heard it’s really calming at night so i might visit during then , ” she muses . “ if you don’t mind me asking , do you have any favorite spots on the ship worth exploring ? ” after all , the purpose of being on this cruise is for lara to actually focus on something else other than work .

“coming right up!” hyunwoo calls out, as he practically dashes over to the other end of the bar. “hi, i’m so sorry to bother you, but can you please pretend you’re completely engrossed in an urgently interesting conversation with me as i make this other guest’s cocktail very slowly?” he could only hope that the neon lights of the bar were enough to hide how furiously he was blushing. “they keep asking for a ‘sex on the beach,’ but when i give them the cocktail, they keep arguing that it’s not what they want, and.. they just— they tried to lick my hand. so, please?”
lara doesn't bother to hide the face they made when he explained his predicament . “ god , i thought shit like that happened at bars in new york , ” she jests , in an attempt to lighten the mood . “ guess it’s a universal thing , ” they shrug , reaching for their drink . “ but to answer your question , sure . i’m now invested . what do they think is in a ‘ sex on the beach ’ if they keep arguing that’s not what they want ? ”
