𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐱: ah fuck sorry i know u don't like words like that
𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐱: shit, i cursed again
𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐱: wow.
𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐱: like furnish like how?
𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐱: i think we can do it, are you up for a challenge?
SORA : i can curse! i just prefer not to do it at the office.
SORA : ~professionalism~
SORA : but it was, in fact, a dickface move.
SORA : uhhh stage it like a real home, make it look enticing. i normally have backups on backups, but i've been leasing more luxury office spaces lately and not actual homes, so my contacts are all booked up.
SORA : always down for a challenge.
SORA : say, you can't cook.. can you?

jack: I've a friend who could do it in 48.

SORA : well i can't push the date of the open house on such short notice, but i CAN help speed up the process.
SORA : and i suppose mostly-done is better than not at all, hm?
SORA : but i would love you forever if you know someone who could help !

SORA : tell me about it.

“ good morning! ” it was roughly one pm when parker poked his head into sora’s office, but what difference did it make to him? he’d showed up to work half an hour ago and still had the starbucks cold brew in his hand to prove it, and ‘ morning ’ was a relative concept. “ i come bearing gifts from little brazil. ” and sure, this detour to the single street that his co-animator ( a chinese-brazilian expat ) deemed representative of real brazilian food made him even later to work than he already was, but everyone knew parker’s 9 to 5 was something closer to 12 to 8 anyway. “ i brought you an acai bowl and everything so that i’m not just showing up with cheese bread and, like, fried chicken croquettes. ” and then he plopped himself down in the chair on the other side of her desk and folded his hands behind his head. “ anyway, i’m avoiding work and also avoiding leaving work because then i have to go talk to nell about dog custody and that sounds like so much more than i have bandwidth for right now. how are you? ”
𝐎𝐅 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐒𝐄, 𝐒𝐎𝐑𝐀 𝐈𝐒 𝐖𝐄𝐋𝐋 𝐀𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐄 of the time, but she doesn't miss a beat with greeting parker back. " morning, " she toasts the black coffee in her own mug to match his, since there was never a bad time to consume it given the office they worked in. her face lights up when he declares he comes bearing gifts, and sora claps excitedly. a part of her is relieved there's no cheese bread and fried chicken croquettes - food like that didn't bode well with her anxieties, but the rest she could handle. " how kind of you! come sit. " she waves him in but also gets up herself to rearrange the seating into something less formal, before sitting down and clearing a space for them to eat. " so you're telling me you're basically imprisoned at masters? now, that's a pity. it's a pretty building, but i hear the inmates can be quite brutal. "

it’s a humid summer in southampton , the wind picking up the salty air of the ocean to the front door of the cottage . hanbin had been in the kitchen whisking up a small snack for himself , sora , and eleven - month - old duri . he picks up the platter and the bowl for duri , carefully balancing both as he used his back to push open the door leading to the back deck . it has only been three days into their vacation , and hanbin didn’t want to think about returning to their fast - paced lives in the city . for now , he wanted to soak up as much of slow paced living as he absolutely could before it’s back to the usual grind . ‘ one charcuterie board for us , ’ hanbin announces his presence and places it down the table to join their half finished drinks . ‘ and homemade food for my lovely duri . ’ he gently rubs the dog’s head as she prances over , and finally takes the time to sit down with sora once more . he easily tosses his arm around the back of the chair to invite her closer . ‘ i think we should stay here for longer than a week . we could always end our house search and stay here , right ? ’
𝐈𝐓'𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 in years that sora has felt like this. of course, she'd always caught glimpses of it since she met hanbin, the whir of butterflies in her stomach that made her excited to wake up, to check her phone when she pulled it from her purse, the lackluster sleep because she was always looking forward to her next waking moment. but those feelings were overwhelming now with a weight completely off her shoulders, away from the hustle and bustle of the city and unable to be distracted by problems which yanked her from the bubble they occupied together. her fingers idly brush through duri's fur, eyes distant until she hears the sound of hanbin's voice. like clockwork, a smile springs to her mouth as she turns to look at him, face expressive in excitement of the snack he's prepared for them. she presses closer, humming in thought at his words, moving to rest her head on his shoulder. for once, she feels at peace. " twist my rubber arm, bin. " her smile fades into a smaller one, though not less genuine. " i was just thinking the impossible has happened. i don't miss the city at all. and you know, real estate in the hamptons could make me a pretty penny. "
“why would you even do that?” gwen asked, confusion in her tone evident. it was times like these that she realized she truly didn’t understand people very well. though more accurately, she realized she didn’t understand her coworkers very well. she didn’t know if she was cut out for the office-space environment. she belonged in the pit, mostly. @masterspost
.
𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐄𝐎𝐏𝐋𝐄 𝐀𝐓 𝐌𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒 weren't exactly known for their kindness, so sora watching someone bodycheck gwen out of the way to get the last of the break room donuts isn't surprising, though it does make her feel bad. " i hear the break room on the next floor up hasn't touched theirs yet. should we check it out? i assume there'll be a better atmosphere. less assholes. " she raises the end of her sentence to make sure the other person hears her well and clear, before looking to gwen.
“okay so “allegedly”…i may or may not be going into the supply closet to smoke a joint and i was wondering if you’d want to keep me company.” it was their not so subtle attempting at asking if they’d want to smoke up with them. everyone at masters knew that river was pretty invincible and would never get fired. but that didn’t mean he wasn’t always causing trouble.

𝐒𝐎𝐑𝐀'𝐒 𝐎𝐍 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐏𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐄, waiting for a client to meet her when she hears a voice perk up. for a moment she has to pause and register what they've just said, but then her eyes grow wide and incredulous. " in the closet? " she can't help the laugh of disbelief that escapes her, and she shakes her head. " i'll have to pass. smoking's not exactly my thing. but... what do you do here? aren't you afraid that'll get you cut loose? "

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐀𝐓 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐁𝐔𝐂𝐊𝐒 is long , but sora's thankful that being a regular means her order is already prepared by the time she gets to the counter . a quick trip to the gym in her building , some breakfast ( the only thing she knows how to make ) , coffee , and she's still got ten minutes to spare by the time she's walking in the entrance of masters. " for you ," sora grins , wiggling the cup free from the tray and handing it to oliver when she sees him. she's gotten used to their morning interactions, and while she wouldn't say it out loud in fear of being overbearing, she's started using it as a reason to check in on him. " did i miss any dramatics when i left early yesterday? i heard a stray wandered into the lobby , but i hardly know what to believe here anymore. " @polygrcph

if it weren’t for sora’s clothes and the distant sound of music floating down the hall , hanbin would have assumed they were on the moon . he feels stupid , really , to be allowing himself such feelings . he never thought he’d see sora again , especially not at a work event , not at a place where people could be hearing their conversation ( it was the last thing he wanted to deal with right now ) . ‘ and you don’t think i was scared too ? that i was worried about us buying a place together , about us building a life together ? you made my decisions for me and that’s fucked up of you , sora . i had no chance of saying how i felt because you never gave me the chance . you never let me tell you how i felt , if i was ready for it or not . that’s not … that’s not fair . ’ hanbin feels like a petulant child as he begins repeating himself , and he places his hands on his hips as he tries to get himself to calm down . even now , when he has every right to scream until his face turns red , he cares about her well - being . he’s always hated to see her cry and to see her hurting . he presses his lips together in a firm line , in an effort to stop himself from cutting her off . hanbin may be upset , but he’s not that much of an asshole . he takes in her words , let’s them marinate in his brain as he releases a heavy puff of air that he’s sure he’d been holding since the start of their conversation . what does he want from her ? what kind of person would he be if he asked her to quit her job ? he would never ask her to do such a thing , and he would never ask her to do anything that hurt her in the end , even if he was the one hurting right now . a scoff falls from his brims as he scrubs his hand underneath his eyes to rid himself of the tears that desperately wanted to fall . ‘ you fucked me up , sora lee . i have never — i have never let someone in my life like i let you in , and i could say how much you hurt me until i’m blue in the face , but i don’t know what i want you to do . i could tell you to fuck off and never talk to me again , but i’m not that mean . what i want — i want you to let me hurt . i don’t want you to fix anything , and i don’t want you to make anything right . just let me be , sora . ’
𝐀𝐒 𝐌𝐔𝐂𝐇 𝐀𝐒 𝐒𝐎𝐑𝐀 𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐒 to respect his wishes , there's a big part of her that's desperate to say more. would it change anything if she did? if she really explained herself? selfishly , she thinks she'd be devastated if all it meant was that he wouldn't be like this with her anymore. because while that should be enough , her self-absorbed fantasies made it otherwise. she missed him. " i'm sorry i didn't give you a chance. i didn't ask you how you felt, i didn't let you say your piece. and i didn't give you any closure. " it certainly won't fix anything , but she thinks he deserves to know that she's aware of exactly what she did wrong. that's how apologies worked , didn't they? there's a break when she asks what it is he wants from her , and sora nervously waits , fingers fully shaking now. she couldn't quit , could she? at least not without giving some sort of notice , but she's prepared to hear any answer he's about to give her. and she knows whatever it may be , no matter how much it hurts her , she'll do it. the way her heart still swells when she looks at him tells her exactly that. another blanket of guilt falls over her when he speaks again , and sora feels as though her entire chest has caved in. the words are so close to the tip of her tongue , she nearly wants to scream to get them out. i want to tell you everything. i'm still scared. if i explain, would you ever love me again? " hanbin , i - " sora pauses , dark brown eyes taking in the sight of him . exasperated , flushed , cheeks stained with tears . she swallows the words .
she doesn't deserve him .
" if that's what you want , i'll let you be. " she nods , wiping furiously at the tears now that won't stop coming . " and if you don't want to pretend , then i'll be here . if you ever want to yell at me or say what you think , you just find me , okay ? "
meeting sora was not in hanbin’s plan — in fact , after his last breakup , hanbin had put romance on the back burner . he had no interest in having feelings for someone else , especially since he assumed that his last serious relationship would have been his last . he’d only ever allowed one other person aside from sora to infiltrate his life the way she had , and maybe it was crazy of him to do , but hanbin had no interest in someone if they didn’t pass duri’s test . of course , duri was a dog but she was as judgmental as they come , but when the apricot - toned pooch took a liking to sora , he figured he’d finally met someone else who he could let in . hanbin’s no easy nut to crack : it takes him forever to let someone in , to let someone know how he’s really feeling , or to tell them where he’s headed next . with sora , though , all of that happened so naturally . late night talks with his fingers in her hair as he spilled everything , even down to how he currently felt about his father . so , it makes sense when hanbin feels that his cheek is wet , and he angrily swipes his hand against the flesh in an attempt to hide his frustration before sora can say anything more . ‘ don’t do that . don’t — don’t make this about your marriage because you know it’s not . i get it , i understand how you felt about your marriage , and i get that we were rushing , i was there to see that too . you could have told me , though . that … that is where i’m not getting it . you say that you felt like you finally got it right , but then you turn around and break up with me . not - so respectfully i might add . ’ he sinks his teeth down into his lower lip , not wanting his frustration to bubble up in his frame like it had before , but when his chin quivers he knows he’s fucked . ‘ you don’t get to say you love me when you broke my heart like that . you’re not allowed to do that to me now . not after all this time . ’ hanbin sinks his teeth into his lip , and shakes his head . ‘ and that’s where you’re wrong . i don’t hate you , i’ve never hated you , but i’m mad . i’m mad at you for hurting me like that and thinking i can forget running into you tonight . that’s not fair to me . ’
𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐘 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘'𝐑𝐄 𝐀𝐓 𝐅𝐄𝐄𝐋𝐒 oceans away , and sora can't bring herself to think about going back. in fact , she can't imagine when she'll be mentally out of this moment , the way it's surreal to be near hanbin again and having this conversation at all. she misses the version in her head so dearly , where she told him everything , where it made sense. where he understood. if the explanation she gives now isn't enough , she couldn't blame him for that. and while she thought she'd never see the day where she could keep from giving him what he wanted , it seems it had come. " people do things in the moment when they're scared. i'm not proud of it , i wish i hadn't run away. i wish i'd talked to you, but i don't - didn't know how to get the words out. " there's no part of sora that can keep from tearing up herself when she catches the emotion on hanbin's face ; she wants so badly to reach out , wipe the pads of her thumb across his cheeks. except that wouldn't be fair, either. " but i do. " a quick hand reaches up to swipe her own face , voice quivering through her attempt at being stern. " i-i did a bad thing - a horrible one - but it doesn't change that. a-and i won't lie and say it does. " it's not her space to cry and she knows that , doing her best to compose herself , keep her voice steady and blink away the wetness continually collecting along the rim of her eyes . her head screams at her to sit down and drink something to deal with the faintness , but she's so far rooted in their conversation she can barely feel the tingling in her fingers. " i'm okay with you being mad at me. you deserve to be mad , hanbin. i don't want you to have to pretend you're not. i just... i don't know what you want from me now. whatever it is, i'll do it. " everything except one.
“I love it. I’ll be honest I’ve been eying these trousers since Kenzo’s show last year and the gala’s my excuse for finally pulling the trigger,” Tom admitted. “But my inspiration is Hypnos, the god of sleep so the suit’s actually fitting. Poppies are associated with him as well as the moon and nighttime and stuff,” he said vaguely gesturing to the light eye make up they’d done. “But yeah-” they tended to ramble when they got on tangents they knew a fair bit about. “-yeah! Absolutely” Tom said setting the drink down to offer some assistance. “I’ve probably thrown at least… ten Halloween parties for my birthday so I’ve done this a couple of times,” Tom explained as they got a closer look at their best plan of action here.
.
" 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓'𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐄𝐒𝐓. " she nods , admiring the details. " when you finally have an excuse and the means to get that thing you've been just dying to. call me shallow , but it's definitely one of the joys of life for me. " her eyebrows raise in curiosity and she smiles. " i did not know that! see , you learn something new every day. " with a shuffle she moves closer towards them , tilting her head and grabbing her drink back so they can get a proper look. " thank you so much. it doesn't have to be perfect , just... passable? "
“ i did enjoy it, don’t worry, ” griffin assured. he then held up the wine bottle in his hand, “ i came as dionysus because i always enjoy my drinks, literally no matter what. ” some might even say it’s a problem ! he smiled at the other girl’s laughter, not expecting what he’d suggested to elicit that response, but he of course wasn’t complaining. “ true, ” he nodded with a grin, “ or it might get stuck and you’d have to cut it out, which would be even worse. forget i even suggested tape and pretend i said something actually helpful instead. ”
" 𝐈𝐅 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐈𝐒𝐓. " sora agrees easily , though her face clearly shows how bemused she is. it does click into place considering the costume. " well , i think the outfit is quite fitting then for what i've just witnessed. i don't think i've taken a drink like that since i was in college. and i say that with admiration. " she notes , smile still on her mouth. " i mean technically it could still work - but i won't be the one to try it. let me know how it goes if you do , though ."
