misbound

Thumping beats spilled out into the streets taunting sensitive ears, just a bit too big, while their owner shuffled from one foot to the other. Having spared a few moments after work to spiffy up for the occasion, (or at least get as spiffy as a nerdy bookworm could get in switching out a cardigan for leather jacket), he’d headed for the agreed upon meeting place. Fingers carded through thick hair as he pretended to scroll through an outdated smart phone that didn’t even have internet access. He was outside of his element, but not worried. In fact, the bored young man looked forward to these little adventures. If arriving ten minutes earlier was not indication enough.

A glance at the time and hunched spine straightened to his full height, casting about for a familiar face in the bustling crowd. Itaewon never seemed to sleep or maybe that was just Seoul itself. When he’d first arrived, Byungjoon had been quite sure the city itself was a slumbering monster just waiting to crush him between its jagged skyscraper teeth. Even now, he could sometimes swear the surroundings began to collapse on him from every angle.

Into the air shot a hand as the elder waved exuberantly, soles lifting slightly off pavement. He wasn’t quite childish enough to yell across the crowd, not that it would be heard.

"Quick question. What’s the protocol on going back to a bar after going home with one of their bartenders?”

“depends. what’d you do as soon as you got home?” london puts her coffee down, and leans forward, elbows resting on the table. “i’m not gonna assume sex, because for all i know, you couldn’t spent the night playing league or something.” 

she reaches for another sugar packet, rips it open, and pours the contents out into her not-so-hot latte. 

“see, the way i see it is, you’ve got two options,” she says, spoon clinking against the ceramic cup. “if it was a great time, then you’ll have no problemo walking back into that bar, amigo. like, if you both had fun, it shouldn’t be awkward. however.” london pauses to take a sip of her coffee. too sweet. barely drinkable. “if it was an absolute shitty time, i’m sorry, buddy, but you’re gonna have to find another place to drink at.”

It had been roughly five years since the murder of his mother. he had mixed feelings about it to be honest. his mother had caused him a tremendous amount of pain in the past. but the way she was murdered was always confusing. beaten to death with a mirror? it seemed like a very personal murder. someone who was close to his mother. and he’d talked to everyone who she had ever known...so who was it? either there was someone just under his nose, or he had been wrong all along. 

“So there’s two shoots today, Jun..are you listening?” his manager asked as he drove, looking at the model through the rearview mirror. He wasn’t listening. his head was some where else and his eyes were on the city around him. his eyes caught on a sign outside a building for a private investigator and he snapped out of his reverie,

“HYUNG! STOP THE CAR!” he roared as his manager slammed on the breaks, sending the clothes and makeup in the back flying forward. His manager pulled off to the side of the road. 

“What the fuck, Jun.” his manager answered, his thick eyebrows furrowing together and his cheeks heating in anger. Junhyeok didnt answer. He got out of the car and walked down the street a little bit until he found the door that led to the investigator. He heard his manager screaming a him to get in the car because they were going to be late...but he ignored it as he opened the door.

“Hello? My name is Kim Junhyeok...I’m in need of help.”

“Some lady just walked up to me in the bar and proclaimed that I looked like a ‘shady motherfucker.’ Can’t argue with that one.”

“I mean...you’re a private investigator...isn’t it part of your job description to BE a ‘shady motherfucker’?” he responded as he slung his feet over the couch end. He spent most of days that weren’t at the studio, in Chaeyeon’s office. It was nice to have someone to confide in..even if he was paying her. Junhyeok let out a chuckle as he imagined an elderly lady coming up to her in a bar just to say that. he fiddled with the lighter in his hands, spinning in between his fingers.

“You’re the shadiest person I’ve ever met.” he confessed as he looked at her, putting the lighter away, “All secretive and stuff. Wait were you following a lead at the bar? Or were you drinking?” Jun asked suspiciously as he sat up straight, raising an eyebrow. “You were probably drinking.” he mused aloud with another chuckle.

"I need you to be best friend brutally honest about whether or not I can go into public like this”

It was weird that Chaeyeon was asking her that question. The older female just dissed the attire she wore to their so-called meeting just a week ago. Why did she all of a sudden wanted to know if she can wear that obviously stylish outfit in public? It was making Midori's head hurt, but something tells her there was a right answer.

She hesitated at first, but she pretended to carefully go over the clothes. "Yes...?" She let out, the tone raising just a wee bit at the end as she scanned her face for confirmation. But there was nothing. "Okay, okay, it's not... I think?" She waited again for an interruption, anything to bring the train of thoughts from going to worst case scenarios.

"Is this a test?"
