Parker knew well he didn’t always acquire the most eloquent countenance. Majority of the times, his colleagues and the world that knew him described him to have a permanently fixed inscrutable physiognomy. It was in his nature to not wear his heart on his sleeve. Sometimes it would come back around and bite him in the ass and this so happens to be one of those times. Honestly, he was afraid. He’s not one to take the reins on quests like this. He had come to Hongdae to invest further in a case and decided it was smart to get a cup of coffee which had live music and bands built in it. The rather flirtatious barista thought it would be a grand idea to insert his name to perform on stage next. The only thing he could play was a guitar and that was during his high school years. When hearing the stranger female offer a phrase that sound rather philosophical, the corner of his lip twitched.

“You could say that reaching the stage of fear requires accepting the unknown.” His arms naturally folded across his chest, turning his head so he could get a glimpse of the female. “What are we doing if not taking a chance? We’re being cowards in life. However, miss, I am very much afraid. Don’t allow my bland façade fool you. It’s just… I don’t do well with art. I’m not mold to entertain others. I’m afraid to make a fool of myself.”

No surprise to find Hyeonu at one of the local coffee shops in the city. It was  a good way to get away from the hustle and bustle of her every day life. She sat at the bar this time around, the place being a little too crowded for her liking but that was nothing to complain about. There were no papers scattered about or her laptop in front of her, just her latte she ordered and her phone for small things. The conversation was overheard and although it wasn’t her business, she made it her business with that slip of the statement. “Well this isn’t something that is super important, but living life in fear is useless. Everyone in here is just like you, even that band up there is honestly but no one’s complaining. I think they’d be happy to see a new face and this is coming from someone who excel in that field.” After taking a sip of her coffee she sat her phone down that occupied her hand before cheek was rested in her palm subsequent to her arm being propped on the bar. “But if you’re afraid and also afraid to make a fool of yourself, let’s not ruin whatever confidence you have, hm?” Final words were directed to the bartender, in which, she caught the drift and took her leave with no hard feelings on her expression.

“i always found sanity to be a tad bit overrated; where’s the draw and fun in going the logical route all the time? at least, some days, you should take a chance, move forward, and do what everyone’s thinking but never does. it ain’t any fun to keep your mouth and mind shut to what you wanna do… … .. or could do, in this case.” cool touch of the pebble between his fingers, settled sweetly against his palm while the other would be tossed across the water. it’s a game of “which duck don’t give a fuck” for blu– he’s hoping they have one for him.

“you know how they say what happens in vegas, stays in vegas? why can’t it be that what you hear in the club is just.. kept in the club? it isn’t like anyone needs to know what i said and you don’t really need to tell anyone what i said… loyalty is also overrated.” 

The male was right in a sense and that shocked Hyeonu. She never agreed with anyone, always preferring to have the upper hand in anything and everything. This time around all she could do was stay silent. “So are you saying you would push yourself to the point of asylum?”There was a smile on her lips that matched her playful inquiry. “No I’m kidding but, since you’re saying sanity is overrated, how far would you go exactly, when it comes to doing what you want to do or saying what you want to say.” There was a blanket over her legs so she could pull her knees to her chest with ease, chin resting in the palm of her hand once an arm rested atop. “Loyalty..?” She had averted her eyes that were focused on him, thinking about how her loyalty was her number one weakness. Despite that being the case, she still couldn’t find herself being not loyal, resulting in her shaking her head prior to her looking ahead to watch the pebbles skip across the water. Her eyes narrow for the sun was setting and blinding her in the process, her tone being a mere murmur. “Loyalty is never overrated.”

The dark thoughts were soon overcoming his mind, seeping their way into the depths of his memories. He didn’t want to remember such an awful year, but he knew that this feeling couldn’t just disappear on its own. The vampire tried going about his usual days. He continued hunting, the blood bag stealing, the rude and cold shoulders he gave. But it still couldn’t shake his mind off, especially at night when no one was around. The thoughts consumed him when he was alone, which would explain why he suddenly grew fond to clubs and bars, and kept himself busy most of the time. Soo didn’t want to be left alone with the burden of having to remember those nights and mornings. How the pain never left his body once he entered that building. He blamed himself for the situation because how could someone as strong as him let his guard down. He should’ve known from all the books he read as a human and all the shows that were broadcasted on television that people were interested in vampires. But so interested that some wanted to experiment on them, sadly he never thought that situation would ever come to him.

  If his friends asked where he had been, he tells a small fib. “I was just gone for awhile. Exploring.” That was his usual response and even though his friends had an odd hunch about it, knowing the vampire they’d just brush it off and kept to their conversation. I suppose the female had recognized him coming down the street. She had stopped to talk to him, saying how she remembered him walking the streets everyday as she would pass him. Although Kyungsoo never paid attention to the people that he passed, unless they caught his eye when it came to his urges, but other than that he wasted no time in looking. He gave his normal response when she asked where he had been, even if he didn’t recognize her the problem was that she did. “Do you want to tell me what really happened?” The women asked bluntly. Kyungsoo was taken aback by her inquiry and was at lost at words. How could she have known the small fib he told to everyone else he knew, or maybe everyone was aware of his lie and just never spoke of it. Nonetheless, the female wasn’t someone he felt comfortable knowing about this and he kept his mouth shut for a little while longer before he finally mustered up something. “Well, you know. I was off hunting in different states, just testing my abilities.” The demon played it off casually, at least to say he thought so himself and kept an eye on the women for her response.

The woman would wander around during the dead hours a little too much. She found it peaceful despite the many dangers that lurks around every corner. Who would do anything to her, she would think to herself, the thought being even worse when she was intoxicated. This night was one of those nights. There was nothing wrong nor nothing good. It was just an impulse that she wanted her blood to be soiled by those sweet tasting drinks that had a little too much of a kick after the fact. However, she felt good afterwards so she wasn’t complaining, though what happens once the high is gone is a different story. For now she was just stumbling about, trying hard not to look as drunk as she was. A woman’s weakness is when she’s not herself after all. Luckily no one was out since it was the middle of the week, except, for one male who she would pass one too many times. He had looked a bit off, could be his disheveled appearance or it could be all in her head. Either way the story he tried to tell wasn’t convincing enough for her at first. 

Curiosity level was at it’s peak whenever Hyeonu was drunk. Sometimes she would ask a question that would get her into trouble, resulting in her being snarky and a heated argument taken place. The male seemed all for it so hopefully things wouldn’t turn sour. “Testing your abilities in different states? You mean like America?”  Slurred words subsequent a sway in her posture. She tried her best to stand still but with the earth moving below her feet, it was hard to do so. “Ah!  You’re from America aren’t you?! No wonder why you always look so strange and give off this grannnddd aura!” Her hands mirrored her over exaggerated words. “But! How do you get from America to here in that condition? Aigoo, what an embarrassment.”

If there is anything that Seunghyun didn’t understand the most, it’s women. The way they thought, what they wanted, what they meant, what they were implying, anything. And having no particular interest or sympathy towards almost everything as one of his bad habits just made it worse. But this time he tried to be different. He tried to at least make sure that everything was alright with his friend, no matter how bitter or cold she sounded. “Are you sure? Are you really busy or are you avoiding me?” he took a few moment to look at her before heaving out a deep sigh. “Hyeonu-ya, will you ever try to at least open up to me?”

Once a strong enough bond was formed, anyone could pay a visit to the academy to see her. Albeit some who she didn’t even know would try to sneak pass for she was a wanted woman for many reasons unfortunately, lucky enough to have strong enough security in the lobby before anyone can get to the elevators. That was neither here nor there considering he stood before her in her office, which she considered her second home tied with her parent’s house. The woman was simply doing her job and then some, considering she would always go above and beyond with her work. Not to mention it was an off day for her, something he wouldn’t understand probably despite it being nothing to discuss. “I mean as you can see I’m really busy.” She spoke while continuing to plan out her week. He was obviously more of a softer friend since anyone else would have pulled her away from the papers by now. 

“I am opening up to you aren’t I?” The woman sat back in her chair, subsequent to setting her pen down and returned his look. “I tell you what you need to hear which is good enough to form some kind of judgement on me. Everything else is null and void.”

❛ It's the closest to what I relate to, but I was also pretty strange by my classmates standards when I was in high school. You ever live out of country or have you been here your whole life? It's a good thing we never moved here, tiny you woulda scared the piss outta me! Like, I was a tall baby, but I was shy as hell. Didn't talk 'til I was two, then I went mute again for a solid year

“I can believe it. You’re a pretty strange one now after all. I could say my second home is America. I’ve been there the longest considering my late middle school days and my high school days were spent there. I could’ve gone to university there as well but I had a plan that hindered me from doing so. Well I’m originally from Gangnam so I doubt we would have met anyway. I mean I scare the piss out of people now so nothing’s changed when it comes to that. Though since you were mute for a while, I probably would have protected you. I’ve always had the mindset of protecting the less able.”

 “  what?  “  jongin looks up from his paperwork and over at the woman, blinking a few times before he understands that the look on his face was still permanently marred from what happened the night before. it was easy to take a life for jongin now, but the realization that his hands would always be bloody and those who got involved with him, tainted, always bothered him. it was why he tried so hard to stay awake at nights when the anxiety hit him. “  nothing happened, i’m just exhausted about all this work.  “  

Silence fell among the two. Hyeonu only stared at him as if she was trying to read through his facial expression. “I find that hard to believe.” Despite disagreement she relaxes in her seat, arm propped on the armrest so her chin could rest in her palm. “However, I will go along with it for now and with that being said why are you overworking yourself when you can’t handle it? I feel like you’re trying to be like me expect it’s showing in your eyes because of all the dark circles.” She shook her head while clicking her tongue a few times. “Not a good look for you.”

☾ — “Hyeonu, why are you asking me this now?” She laughed at the older female’s question and leaned slightly behind towards the white wall. Her legs moved up so she could sit more comfortably on the couch. “Alright…” She turned her head slightly to the side, tilting it quite curiously as she thought about her childhood. For moments she thought about the moments she ran with her friends and then her first crush. Despite the fact people say a first crush, a first lipstick and a first blush mean growing up, she knows now that her crush was nothing but innocent so she did not consider that being grown up. “I guess it was when I watched this movie.” She thought about it dearly. The day her father sat with her in the couch and said This is a classic, you need to watch it. And so she did and she fell in love with it. She loved every luxury. The sweetness of Holly’s smile and bitter personality. The way she lived, moving from town to town because She had never done it before. Watching Breakfast at Tiffany’s had made her change the way she felt about her life and made her want to explore more about the world and about herself. For a moment she wished she was grown enough to use Tiffany’s jewelry. “Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Have you watched it? If not you should. When I saw that movie at age of twelve, I think… That was when I first felt like I was growing up. Now, as for the moment I realized I was a grown up I can’t answer for I don’t feel I’m that grown up yet.”  

“I’d say it’s an important question, my dear girl. You know what they say, curiosity killed the cat! Though let’s hope I don’t get killed by digging into your mind.” There was a cup of tea occupying her hands and a blanket draped over her legs. It was quite chilly in her residence because the bay window that wasn’t insulated. The weather outside was most likely in the negatives so her poor electric fireplace was doing the best it can to provide warmth to the house on top of her heater, which was on its last leg. “Breakfast at Tiffany’s?” Aidle thoughts were put to the back of her head for she wanted to give the girl her full attention. After all, it wasn’t often to have Hyeonu sitting down in her house and enjoying another’s company. She preferred to be alone once she stepped foot in those four walls for her house was a sacred place. However, for her female friends, she made an exception. “I haven’t seen it though I have heard my idol, Aubrey Hepburn, was in it? But you saw it as such a young age, it’s quite shocking to hear how much it affected you.” Hyeonu sat her cup on it’s designated plate atop the coffee table prior to sitting back and tugging the blanket up to her neck. “Even if you don’t know the exact answer, the movie is a start right? Unlike me who had an epiphany once I hit university. Heavens know I wasn’t ready for the change after coming from a privileged family.”
