the last few nights had turned into a flurry of otome filled sleepovers, something that jinri couldn't necessarily complain about. guised as a sort of course to teach eunji about the opposite gender--because frankly, jinri and soojung didn't have much to teach the girl, other than keep calm and yolo on--the last half week had been nothing short of fun.
at the moment, one laptop was shared while the two coaches overlooked their student, offering protips (soojung and jinri) and translations (jinri). the game was second reproduction and at the time of choosing, jinri had forgotten one thing.
it's at 3:54 am that she remembers and promptly curls up into a ball.
"oh my gosh it's coming and i'm not ready, oh my GOSH it's COMING and i'm NOT READY," she murmurs, expression a mixture of sorrow and apprehension. upon being asked what was coming, she shakes her head and refuses to tell, "not wanting to spoil."
[ mailto: hotjiyongnim@hanmail(.)net ] dear hotjiyongnim, are brats like me allowed to place orders???? and do i get a discount if i'm a special brat?????? love, eunji
(/ shakes his head in blatant discontent; pursed lips, nose scrunched and all — totally expected it )
[ reply to: eunji ] no
(/ pauses then, contemplating a smiley perhaps because she is sort of a special brat now that he thinks about it — )
changmin: {` careful to avoid the mayhem he can almost certainly see coming from a mile away, decides to arrive early and set his gift on the nightstand beside the sleeping male (painkillers and various other manly things SOME TRAVEL SIZED SOJU BOTTLES HOLLA and a note: happy birthday, from changmin) -- peering down the hall to be sure that no one is coming along as he pulls a pair of energizer bunny ears from a small bag and takes a few minutes setting them on char's head before leaVING pce }
eunji: (/ lingers outside the door of a room she was told to meet at, apparently getting dragged along by soojung to a birthday party of a guy named char -- obviously came too early to the party with no one else around.. that, or she accidentally went to wrong dorm which is fully plausible. checks her text messages again -- it's correct. ) ... (/ contemplates leaving after a few moments until she hears faint traces of thoughts with familiar voices coming down the hall ) !!!!
ravi: {` abruptly sticks a finger right up the sleeping char's nose in order to wake him. he honestly hadn't dragged himself all the way to the others dorm just to linger outside until sleeping beauty decided to wake. wasting no time to bringing things to life, ravi snorted rather loudly with amusement as he pulled his finger away and moved backwards to avoid any flying limbs } char wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, people are coming, wake up /WAKE UP/
luhan: {` had intended to arrive early with his supply of various liquors to ensure the best times were had but finds himself encountering an unfamiliar young woman standing outside the door } yoooo -- {` blinks, a brow quirking as he double checks the room number before nodding to himself } here for the party? {` bangs rather loudly on the door with his fist, a few times for good measure }
eunji: (/ raises a curious brow at the newly arrived boy ) uh, yeah kind of. ha -- (/ awkwardly scratches at the back of her head, feeling quite out of place ) soojung told me to come. make new friends, i guess?
luhan: oh. {` grins, setting the bottles down and holding out his free hand while the other continues to bang every minute or so } i'm lu han. nice to meet you (~)
soojung: {` it must have been a blue moon or something -- that must be it, why else would she be working with ravi? though that didn't matter anyway, seeing as she had already gone as far to break in the window and float both of them in to get started on ~*~*~decorations~*~*~ while their birthday boy slept, who cares about the rest} yah-- {` hisses at the orange haired mutant} i didn't sneak you in here to stick your fingers up his nose -- are you done with the streamers?
soojung: {` stops at the door and scowls} shit
eunji: (/ instantly warms up to the other, returning the smile and reaching out to shake his hand ) nice to meet you too. i'm jung eunji. heh.
char: (/ STIRS. deep in sleep -- not even ravi's finger up his nose could wake him. )
ravi: {` peeks up toward the door, before looking toward his abandoned pile of streamers. he pondered whether he should openly lie and hope the commotion caused soojung to forget, but he doubted things would work in his favor. forcing himself to his feet, he snatched up one of the streamers and fiddled aimlessly with it as he took a peek back down at char. great he hadn't woken up either. his job really wasn't cut out for him today } why do we need streamers... he's just going to complain that we messed up his room. i'm not cleaning it up.
eunji: (/ recognizes the thoughts of soojung on the other side of the door, she perks up and starts knocking on the door alongside luhan ) YAH OPEN UP SOOJUNG, YOU ASS.
luhan: {` maintains a gentle grip on her hand for a minute before releasing it and picking up the package -- chuckling a bit as eunji starts to join him in his efforts to disrupt as many people as possible }
soojung: because the room looks more like a pig sty then it does a party -- {` stops at eunji's voice and winces, thinking quickly before moving to throw a pillow over char's face} shit -- she's going to wake him up. {` flailing }
char: (/ the noise begins filtering in char's ears, somewhere still between dreamland and reality. he stirs again, his mouth mumbling on its own -- not wired to his brain. ) shUT UP.
ravi: should i hold the pillow over his face for you..............? {` his hands linger over the pillow as he stares back over at soojung. he jumped a little as char speaks up, and quickly drops his gaze to the pokemon } oh, he's awake! wait...
char: (/ and even the pillow to the face doesnt wake him)
luhan: {` rolls his eyes a bit before reaching into his back pocket for the tools he usually reserves for midnight trips to the locked kitchen -- kneeling a bit before he starts to work on the lock } gatdamnit
eunji: (/ instantly feels like something is .. off as she lets go of luhan's hand ) .. (/ she can't hear any thoughts ) ... did you do something to me? DID YOU BREAK ME? (/ almost has a mental breakdown outside the door )
soojung: what the fuck.. {` blinks slowly and stares at char for a moment} maybe we're lucky and he's still sleeping -- just finish the streamers! {` hisses at him before she slips off the bed to head toward the door, wincing at the sound of her cousin's voice outside as she reaches for the doorknob and pulls it open, scowling at the two} shut up {` whispers loudly} you're going to wake him!
luhan: {` pauses only to glance up at her with a single word bouncing through his head : oops } uh -- i'm a power negator? {` trails off, expression sheepish before he raises his free hand } that'll last for an hou-- {` loses his balance when the door is ripped open, tumbling inside and into soojung's legs } shit! {` still manages to whisper }
ravi: {` huffs as he tugs the pillow away and turns his attention toward the door at the new people. he still wasn't going to do the streams, instead he unraveled the lot and let them fall on char's face, before he grinned to himself and gave a little nod } well at least luhan is here, i wasn't interested in getting burned today.
eunji: oh.... i seeeeeee -- (/ for the first time in, well, forever, she's taken aback by the door suddenly opening. it's weird not being able to see people coming ) !!!! (/ eyes widen a bit before crinkling in laughter at luhan tumbling in ) ha! (/ tries her best not to laugh too loudly )
soojung: {` blinks and looks down, amusement apparent as she moves a hand to push down on his head} dumbass. {` mutters under her breath, aggressively ruffling his hair as she shoots her cousin a look} get inside unnie and keep quiet!
eunji: (/ grins widely, obviously not very apologetic for her actions but bows her head slightly as she steps over luhan and passes into the room as silently as possible ) sorry!
luhan: {` pulls himself to his feet by using soojung as a ladder of sorts, prodding at her forehead before he salutes ravi and takes a running leap toward the sleeping char -- leaving the package outside the door and out of his mind -- with pure momentum to straddle the male and pinch his cheeks } happy birthday! {` mimicks soojung's loud whisper )
eunji: (/ bites down on her bottom lip in contemplation as she looks around the room. her eyes momentarily lay on another blonde haired boy in the room before moving to the more exciting scene happening in one of the beds -- luhan straddling the birthday boy, judging from the overwhelming display of love )
soojung: {` blinks furiously at the prod as she huffs, noting the package left outside as she steps forward to pick the gift up quickly and take it in, shutting the door behind her} ooh, ravi you are such a pussy. {` grins }
char: (/ a heavy pressure squeezes around his waist, and he feels like he's suffocating. wow, perhaps his injuries were finally taking its toll on his body. char's crossing the fine line between dream and reality, and when he goes to try and shift his body and it doesn't move -- that's when he's crossed back into consciousness… that and the sharp pinching of his cheeks. ) ngh… (/ he furrows his brows, eyes still shut. ) joonmyun, why are you on-- (/ he slowly raises his lids, to see luhan's cheeky grin stare back from above. ) oh my fucKING GOD, GET OFF ME. (/ wriggles underneath the other. ) you're so fat, i swear to god. (/ he freezes suddenly -- there were more people in this room. he first sees the blonde hair or ravi. then… soojung, and… this random girl he's seen around with soojung a few times. ) so you thought the guys on the yacht didn't ambush me enough. and you decide to do it yourself.
luhan: {` laughs at his words, careful to keep his weight off the other's bandaged shoulder as he plays with his face } yah, i'm no fatter than you! {` snorts a bit and rolls off of him and onto his back, yelping a bit as something digs into his back only to pull out a pair of fuzzy bunny ears } what the fuck char -- are you into some kinky shit with your roomie??? {` gasps }
ravi: {` he grins rather widely at the sudden rude awakening of the birthday boy. still fiddling with yet another lot of streamers ravi raised his hand to give a short wave as if to say /hey, fancy seeing you here/ before tugging at the end of the streamer to loosen them and toss them in char's direction } happy birthday
eunji: (/ feels the need to say something, suddenly shouts ) HAPPY BIRTHDAY (/ with no prelude. aaaaand she looks turns her head to stare out the window, a bit embarrassed tbh )
soojung: {` laughing honestly, though she doesn't pay much attention to the birthday boy as she sets the box down, moving over quickly to tackle her cousin in a side hug, lifting her legs to cling to her} hey--hey eunji. {` smiles sweetly as she leans in closer} I'M STILL MAD AT YOU FOR LAST TIME. {` bellows in her ear}
char: (/ groans -- this is definitely not the quiet morning he wanted. ) -- (/ he watches luhan pluck the band of bunny ears from atop of char's head (apparently) and stares at the thing, a little in disgust. ) … i don't know what that is. and (/ punctuates the last word with smack against luhan's shoulder with his only good hand. ) -- (/ he's about to say something else, but he pauses, letting his heart sink down into his stomach upon hearing /birthday/ wishes. ) … yah. (/ musters a chuckle. ) it's not my birthday.
luhan: {` takes the smack with nothing more than an indulgent laugh, laying there for a little while longer before he crawls to the end of the bed and picks up the box soojung had deposited there. he pulls a bottle from the midst of it, handing it over with a quirk of his brow } well, even if it's not we're here so fucking /pretend/ () {` holds it out for him to take } grand marnier, super flammable. {` borrowed from magneto. but he doesn't say that }
eunji: (/ feels the whole weight of a body hit her from the side while she's looking away. nearly falls over from the collision -- shit, this no powers thing was really keeping her on edge ) hey, watch it, fat ass -- (/ cuts off when soojung mentions /last/ time ) haaaaa, yeah.. about that (/ wiggles her body, trying to shake the younger jung off, a slight frown on her face as she concentrates with all her might ) it really isn't my fault. i wasn't the one who brought up the seven topic anyway!
jinri: ( *speedwalking because she wants to be quick but doesn't want to drop the box in her hands ) oh my, oh my, oh my-- ( *holds her breath when she sees the open door and tiptoes in, feeling a tad awkward and deciding to watch before opening her mouth :T )
soojung: {` clings tighter when she tries to shake her off, huffing a bit as she leans forward to knock her head against her cousin's a bit} yeah, well! sucks for you you're older i get to blame you. {` pokes out her tongue, turning for a moment to look at the birthday boy at the bed, blinking slowly as she turns around, stopping at the sight of her roommate as she narrows her eyes, masking her voice with the perfect tone of irritation} YAH CHOI JINRI.
char: (/ frowns deeply. the shadows from his brows making the bags under his eyes look darker. ) -- (/ takes the bottle though, narrowing his eyes at luhan as if expecting some kind of special condition was attached to the random gift. ) wake me up to knock me out again? alcohol is your choice. (/ smirks a little. ) could've just knocked me out with a punch; make me forget you guys are even here.
ravi: YAH! {` he shouted in soojung's direction, clearly telling her to shut up by raising his own voice. } People could still be trying to sleep! {` he was frowning, but he waved it off with a light smile as he shifted to plonk down at the end of Char's bed, legs crossed and arms hanging in his lap as his light smile, turned into one of those little grins that always seemed to rub someone's fur the wrong way } you can bullshit all you like, but we all know. {` with that, he leaned back to go through the pocket of his jacket before tugging out a small red box and tossing it toward char } there, i actually got you something.
eunji: (/ struggles a bit more before giving in and allowing soojung to cling, sighs -- a bit guilty about the whole ordeal, but not exactly willing to admit fault ) i'm like three months older, you poop. (/ scrunches her face up before turning in the direction that soojung's called ) jinri-yah! help pull this fatty off of me before she crushes me under her weight (/ :< )
jinri: ( *confused for a second, she falls in sync with the next--her upturned lips pull themselves down in the opposite direction and she jerks her head away from the jungs. ) eh? what's that? did i just hear a spectre? i can't help you eunji, there's nothing there.
eunji: (/ raises an eyebrow, trying her best to look back and forth between soojung and jinri. frowns a bit at a realization -- was their fight really this bad? )
char: (/ some new girl -- oh jinri shows up. and char's really just expecting the whole school to just barge into his room at this point. ) i-- (/ is cut off by ravi, who now sits on the edge of his bed with a shit-eating grin that could rival char's. ) i have no idea what you're talking about, idiot. (/ but he's pacified as soon as ravi throws a small box to him. ) are you proposing to me again with another rock?
ravi: are you going to accept this time? {` he shifted to rest an elbow against his knee, chin now nuzzled against his palm } cause last time you left me hanging.
soojung: YAH! {` shouts in response to ravi, pointedly ignoring him as she turns back to her cousin, huffing a bit} still older. {` scowls at jinri, hmphing for a minute as she releases her grip on her cousin and stomps over to char's bed, shoving luhan aside with a small grin before she turns to char} HEY BIRTHDAY BOY. {` grinning from ear to ear} i don't have money for a gift so how about i beat ravi up for you?
luhan: {` casually grabs a pillow and takes a swing at soojung, hitting her in the shoulder } watch it, jung soojung. i'll beat your ass. (|
eunji: (/ blinks, watching soojung stomp off towards the bed ) .. (/ still wondering about what happened with soojung and jinri, she takes a few steps in jinri's direction and nudges her in the side lightly ) ayy, i see my favorite has arrived.
soojung: {` grunts at the pillow and whips around to shoot luhan a glare} you wanna fight me? right now? i'll take you on! {` scowls }
luhan: {` lifts his hand to slide it across his neck in a 'you will die' gesture before half-turning to greet the young woman belatedly } yo. {` salutes before whipping his head back around to face soojung } you don't wanna take me right now, i'm at the top of my game. {` grins }
char: (/ char frowns deeply again. he's probably going to get premature wrinkles at this rate. he feels hot all of a sudden, and he's not sure if it's from anger or something else. ) should've my silence as a no. (/ scoffs. ) i don't marry people who give rocks. (/ looks down at the boxed gift, in his hand. patting it lightly and setting it on his bedside table to look at later. he also finds painkillers and bottles of soju, all topped off with a small note from changmin hyung. this is the first time char smiles today. which is better than none at all, which he expected for the 14th of january. ) i'll open it later and get back to you, potential husband. (/ rolls his eyes at ravi, but his lips are curled into a playful smirk. ) -- (/ his attention is averted suddenly by a smiley soojung. something he doesn't remember ever seeing before. ) it's not my birthday, (/ he feels like a broken record. )
jinri: ( *giggles, jabbing the other girl in return--all signs of her previous coldness gone ) late, but i'm here! is he gonna keep saying that or...
eunji: (/ eunji's worries seem to melt away with jinri's frown ) well, better late than never. (/ perks an eyebrow and glances over at the crowded bed ) oh, i have no idea if it's really his birthday or not. i haven't even been formally introduced, ha. also -- (/ points over in the general direction of luhan ) that blonde boy, with the kid face, took my powers so i have no idea what's going on right now. (/ chuckles, a bit pitifully at herself but shrugs it off )
luhan: {` turns scandalized eyes on the young woman } excuse you i do not have a kid face. (u
soojung: {` snorts at luhan and rolls her eyes, casually flipping him off as she shifts} you're never at the top of your game. {` pokes out her tongue briefly before turning to char, brow perked as she takes a few steps closer, still grinning} are you suuuure? because i double checked with xavier -- but if you want to play it like that.. {` trails off dramatically as she takes a breath, lips puckered as she whistles the tune to A VERY UNBIRTHDAY TO YOU FROM ALICE IN WONDERLAND HECK YEA}
eunji: (/ purses her lips, trying not to laugh at the retort ) well it is pretty young and adorable. how old are you anyway?
ravi: one does not ask a woman her age {` he quickly retorting in a snobby voice as he shot a narrowed eyed glance toward the girl }
luhan: {` sneers at soojung, throws those damn bunny ears at ravi and turns back to eunji all in two breaths } i'm eighteen. { I: }
eunji: (/ cocks her head to the side, a bit confused at the 'woman' comment but decides to brush it off ) ahh.. wait -- seriously? (/ takes a few steps forward, leaning in to get a closer look at his face ) i would believe you more readily if i had my powers, but y'know (/ laughs a bit before backing up again )
char: .. xavier let me down. (/ exhales loudly. he shuts his eyes and leans back into his pillow, willing himself to go back to sleep. but it doesn't take him ) goD you're all so loud.
luhan: {` blinks as she moves in closer, watching her expression with a perfect deadpan } would a student id suffice, officer?
jinri: ( *snickers ) yeah he kinda does that. and same, but i'm relying on what your cousin told me--i don't know if that's a trustworthy source though. ( *watches the noise with an amused look on her face, genuinely happy to just be there, before frowning at char's words ) we're going to keep being loud until you accept the bureaucratic truth!!
luhan: {` watches as she backs away, laying back across the foot of the bed and kicking his feet lightly back and forth }
soojung: don't be mean. {` rolls her eyes, casually laying down beside him on the bed as she reaches out to swat at his hair} oh yeah -- that's my cousin by the way, the one who thinks han is a hana of age sixteeeeeeeen. {` snickers and points randomly, feeling too lazy right now for a formal introduction}
eunji: nah.. (/ a corner of her mouth pulls up into a half smile ) i'm just playing with you, don't get so serious about it (/ her face turns at the voice of jinri again ) and soojung can be a bit dumb, so (/ shrugs, her amused expression still apparent )
eunji: oh.. (/ looks towards the direction of the dog pile again at the introduction ) nice to meet you guys. i'm eunji. (/ waves a bit with one hand, a big, goofy smile forming on her face )
char: i'm char. (/ waves a hand back. ) and it's not my birthday.
luhan: i'm not being mean... {` trails off, lower lip protruding a bit as he lifts a hand and returns the gesture, never one to leave well enough alone, especially once she continues } yah--jung soojung shut up. {` waves even though they've already greeted one another } stop bullshitting char.
ravi: {` shifts to now look toward eunji again, brows slightly arched } ravi, and it's nice to meet you too, i suppose.
char: (/ ignores luhan -- B< ) guys, why don't you go socialise out of my room… thanks.
eunji: well, i guess i'll find out the truth in approximately an hour or so (/ looks a bit pointedly at luhan ) but let's see.. char and ravi. cool. not too hard to remember.
jinri: should we get comfortable because i feel like we're going to be here for a while. ( *:T )
char: (/ deadpans jinri. )
luhan: {` lifts his head a bit } it wasn't on purpose -- i just forgot. { u: }
jinri: ( *stares right back :T )
eunji: (/ feels the need to pet luhan on the head like a sad puppy but restrains herself for fear of resetting the timer on her loss of powers ) uh, should we? (/ looks around the floor, finding it best to just sit down, cross legged, where she is )
soojung: {` making herself comfortable on the bed tbh} how old are you not turning again, char?
char: (/ stares at jinri, smiling a little in perhaps defeat. ) so i remember a kid asking you -- did you fart? cus you blow me away! (/ B> ) uhhh. i'm twenty -- i think. (/ 8< ) oh my goD I'M OLD
jinri:( *lips slowly curl into a grin and she laughs ) heck yeah! ( * ) they say i'm a breath of fresh air really. twenty? ooh... ( *takes something out of her pocket and turns around, opening the box to fiddle with something )
luhan: {` can't help but laugh at the exclamation, half-turning onto his side with his head propped on his hand } you already were /old/, calm down princess.
char: i don't think air from your butt is fresh. (/ snickers like a kid before hearing luhan's comment. ) shut the fuck up, fetus.
luhan: {` sticks his tongue out }
jinri: ( *half whining, half jokingly ) it's OBVIOUSLY not the same metaphoooooor! ( *still doing wtv the heckie )
eunji: (/ kinda feels like jumping into the pile on the bed but otomes taught her that you should behave when visiting a boy's room for the first time ) .. (/ frowns because lessons from otomes are no fun )
soojung: ....i {` starts, eyes fixed on the ceiling} am hella bored -- hella. {` huffs} can we do something now
char: i agree. somewhere not here.
soojung: you are such a downer {` prods arm}
char: what did you expect when you came in then? (/ ignores the touch )
soojung: for you to be touched and then maybe cry a little {` prods again} just a little
char: i don't cry. (/ char chuckles, face a little sour. ) especially on non-birthdays.
chanyeol: ( /he had shuffle hurriedly into the dorm room after having met up with joonmyun earlier and holds onto his coat carefully where a small lump was moving around inside ) shhhhh. you have to stay still! or else everyone will know what it is! ( / it's a light scolding as he taps the lump's head and grins as he makes his way to the door. he had visited char earlier but seeing as he left before he could really talk to char this would have be considered the first time he would see the first time again ) okay got to make you not seem so obvious ( / mumbles to himself as he adjust his jacket to keep the present warm against him ) and keep quiet ( / although after saying that he stops at the door already open and the sound of voices filled the room ) ....did i miss something? ( / he asked as he popped his head in and slowly shuffles into the room to see a mess of people ) this like one of those paintings with all the naked people on a bed together. except you're all not naked...
soojung: want me to cry for you? {` pulls out the kicked puppy eyes, lower lip protruding as she leans in closer} eh? {` blinks a few times when a familiar voice filters in, turning to look at chanyeol with an impish grin} yeah! it's char's 20th birthday and we're giving him kisses and you're just in time for your turn -- go chanyeol-ah, go!
jinri: ( *standing up straight once more still clinging to her goddamn box, looking for a safe spot to ditch it really ) yah chanyeollie, we keep it g-rated! most of the time. ( *forgets about faking things ) but yeah, what soojungie said! go, go, go!
soojung: {` shifts her legs to kick luhan} right, han? it's tooooooootally chanyeol's turn!
chanyeol: ( / finds soojung's impish grin more of something to take as a warning of not to listen to her and he just laughs lightly ) you're funny soojung ah. ( / he keeps a light grip around the small lump still and looks over at jinri ) ...hahah you're all so funny...
luhan: {` twitches a bit at the kick, opening his eyes to peer at everyone before greeting chanyeol } yeah, your turn.
char: … (/ is about to shove soojung away from giving him that look, before chanyeol's booming voice interjects. well booming to char at least. ) if the whole school wants to party the unbirthday here… (/ he mutters, but his lips can't resist the small smile curling at his lips. ) hi chanyeol, nice to-- … do you have another baby? (/ frowns deeply at soojung, jinri /and/ luhan. ) what the hell, guys
char: … (/ deadpans jinri again before his expression softens at the sight of the cake. char, no matter how shitty it looks, always loved cake. ) … thanks.
soojung: {` pouts a bit} i'm serious! it's your turn to kiss him! yaaaaaah! {` whines a bit as she sits up, moving her foot to nudge luhan} back me up luhana
chanyeol: ( / he looks over to his roommate who agrees and just grins and shakes his head ) do you want me to give you a kiss instead luhan? ( / and he prepares to shuffle his way over to pretend he was going to do so until he hears char's voice and looks over ) ...hey birthday boy ( / grins widely and looks down at his lump ) is it that obvious? ( / pats the small lump lightly only to have it wriggle around inside his jacket ) active little baby too.
ravi: {` eyes chanyeol for a moment before frowning } what is it...
soojung: {` stares at the bump suspiciously} is it devil's spawn
luhan: yah! keep your toes away from me -- {` wiggles away from her feet, only to end up almost falling off the bed, though he catches himself in time, standing up and grabbing for a bottle from the box he'd brought with him along with a few cups -- brow quirking at chanyeol } did you brush your tee-- what the fuck is that.
char: (/ eyes widen in horror at the /thing/ that rustles underneath chanyeol's jacket. ) oh sHIT, are you actually a father.
chanyeol: ( / he stares at all the eyes on him suddenly and the lump before looking over at luhan, eyes and expression trying to pull of a serious face ) it's our child, luhan. which ..could be the devil spawn... ( / once more it wriggles underneath his clothing after saying that )
luhan: oh, fuck you park chanyeol. {` grins while pouring himself a cup and tossing the remaining stack onto the bed -- he lifts the cup to his lips } obviously char got chanyeol pregnant and it's time to see what came out of the oven. ~
char: (/ his heart sinks in his chest, but a laugh rumbles from char's throat from sheer surprise. ) i knew it -- luhan's a fucking girl !
ravi: {` he leans back now, clearly bothered by the title of devil spawn and the unknown moving thing in chanyeol's coat } ...
soojung: {` giggles when he starts falling, shaking her head as she watches him with mild interest before turning her attention back to chanyeol as she shifted to sit up and cross-legged, head tilting slightly} i....this is unholy. {` snorts a bit, playing along enough as she shifts toward ravi, aiming a kick at his side} are you scared? huh? huh?
luhan: {` narrows his eyes at char } i will beat you as soon as your birthday privileges are up, mi amigo.
ravi: {` jumps at the kick and snaps his attention toward soojung } yah! i'm not scared... i just don't want ... devil spawn jumping out at me... okay?
char: … i was kidding about it not being my birthday. (/ grins at luhan. ) my birthday is all year round.
soojung: {` grins widely at his admission} you are tOTALLY SCARED! {` raises her voice accordingly as she moves close enough to give him a shove} so scared your hair turned white HAH
chanyeol: i thought..we did that already... i'm kidding ( / he adds within a second before laughing at the explanation even if he does entertain the thought for a quick second and watches everyone talk around ) don't worry the devil spawn isn't scary. unless i do this ( / quickly he shuffles over to ravi and leans in close with the lump up close to ravi's face ) wait i think the devil's spawn want to look at you! ( / laughing he watches as the lump wriggles in front of ravi before the head of a small puppy pops out suddenly looking confused and whipping his head around )
char: … i can't see. (/ B< )
ravi: hmph {` doesn't bother arguing as he turns his attention back to chanyeol, eyes narrowing with suspicion as the other got closer. out of habit, he leaned back, his little attempt in an escape, though he freezes in place as his eyes grow wide to stare down at the puppy. in all honesty he wasn't exactly sure how to react to it, but he sure as hell wasn't going to scream out as if it were something worse --- instead he could only find his frown growing deeper as he wrinkled his nose } why do you have a dog...
char: it's /my/ birthday and i can't see-- .. it's not my birthday. (/ purses his lips, mental cursing at himself)
luhan: uh huh. {` smirks } /hyung/ make up your damn mind, is it your birthday or not?
char: … no. (/ B< ) i still want to see.
soojung: {` leans in closer when chanyeol turns toward them, blinking slowly as she fixes her eyes at the moving lump, jaw dropping slightly at the puppy that pops out as she squeals} oh my god! it's so cute-- {` pauses mid cooing to turn to ravi with a grin} YOU WERE SCARED OF A GODDAMN PUPPY! {` dying with laughter akudhkgushgadukhg}
luhan: {` takes a sip of his drink and chooses to find a corner to sit in on the floor and watch the following developments }
chanyeol: ( / he was slightly. no greatly disappointed at ravi's reaction to the puppy. was hoping for a girly scream or not but he adjusts the puppy in his arms and shifts over to char ) sounding like an impatient birthday boy aren't you? ( / with a laugh he unravels his coat and carefully holds out the puppy with one hand before carefully cradling him in his arms ) here's...your real.. birthday present... happy birthday.
char: … (/ stares up at chanyeol with tentative eyes. not sure where to really look -- chanyeol or the supposed puppy soojung was cooing at. ) why are you talking to me like i'm seven. (/ char smiles a little at this though, despite how much he tries to suppress the change in expression. ) … oh. (/ the birthday boy looks at the puppy with wide eyes at first. but as they take in the adorable face and innocent eyes that gaze back at him, char's face softens into a wide, genuine smile. he remembers there are other people in the room though, and so he covers his face with his able hand. ) here i was thinking you gave the dog equipment as a gag gift. i didn't get it.
soojung: what are you drinking. {` blinks furiously and stares at the cup}
chanyeol: bjoo thought it'd be a fun idea to have confused you first ( / he offers before slowly reaching out and placing the puppy gently on char's lap ) he's a boy by the way ...hope you like him....( / looking at the bed he pauses before making his way towards where soojung and luhan are ) make roooom ( / he asks as he climbs onto the bed, long limbs and lanky arms crawling over to the open space )
luhan: i am drinking ... vodka. {` enunciates it carefully, holding the cup out } want some? {` glances up at chanyeol -- far far up -- watching him climb on the bed from his perch in the corner. on the floor. } should we be giving you two some alone time?
char: oh. (/ chuckles sheepishly, smiling as shy as the small dog now in his lap. the puppy sprinkled sugar all over char, and he can't seem to get rid of it. ) -- (/ he's a little afraid to touch it, as if he'd burn it. ) does he have a name? (/ the pyro looks at chanyeol who's now lounging across his bed. something he's still not used to. .. then again, he's not used to having luhan, soojung and ravi all in his bed either. )
char: … (/ glances at luhan. ) … alone time-- what why? (/ brows furrow ) are you really drinking in the morning?
soojung: ...uhm. {` stares at the cup, nose wrinkling as she considers it, not too sure if she can handle it tbh -- lightweight hahahah} you should go sit with your hubby and kid, chanyeol ~ {` puckers her lips to make a kissy face -- trolling hardcore}
char: (/ frowns deeply (god how many times has he done that today) at soojung. a heat working up to his neck and cheeks which he'll just blame on the drink… which he hasn't taken a sip from yet. )
luhan: {` shrugs a bit and finishes the drink before setting the cup aside } a party is a party, no matter what time of day. {` nods sagely, honestly a bit less than sober but that topic is dropped as he laughs at / with soojung } ehehhehe.
chanyeol: i thought this was a group party ( / he says genuinely confused as to why luhan was wondering why it should just be him and char at the moment. even if the thought was slightly..warm to his stomach ) and no, he doens't have a name. that's for you to decide! or...anyone here ( / he asks as he points in a circle at everyone ) ...soojung are you okay too? or were luhan's drinks too strong? unless he didn't bring any to share.. ( / he asks and it almost sounds like he was being an ass. trolling right back. sadly, he was actually wondering if that was the case )
char: … yeah luhan, i thought this was a group party. (/ immaturely mimics chanyeol. ) … oh. i don't… know what to name it. (/ scratches the back of his head, still not really touching the puppy that lay in his lap. ) you guys have any ideas?
luhan: {` rolls his eyes, attempting to think up a suggestion -- the answer comes quickly } mick-- {` pauses } wait that doesn't work.
char: … what 8<
soojung: {` wrinkles her nose as she shifts, leaning against luhan absently} uhm -- what about coco puff {` snickers}
luhan: ... bark simpson.
soojung: ... {` insane giggling}
chanyeol: coco puff sounds cute actually ( / he pauses before remember and lightly hits himself on the head for forgetting ) ah ah remember to thank bjoo too later char! since...it's our joint present..technically... ( / although he pauses hearing the name from luhan and repeats ) fart simpson?
luhan: {` ruffles soojung's hair }
char: … (/ hits luhan with a pillow)
char: (/hits chanyeol with a pillow)
luhan: al poochino.
luhan: {` takes the pillow -- it was worth it }
char: like I'm really going to say these things in public. (/ B< )
chanyeol: ( / is hit ) heyyy! ...al foochino? ( / butchering everything luhan's saying pretty much )
luhan: sTOP REPEATING IT CHANNIE! {` frowns lightly }
luhan: {` trolling }
char: (/ groans, hesitantly carding his fingers through its brown fur. ) i'll never find a name...
soojung: i like coco puff {` pouts}
char: isn't it a bit long… plus this is a boy. (/ B( ) not manly enough
soojung: he's manlier than han, he'll be fine with a name like coco puff {` }
luhan: {` smacks her upside the head }
chanyeol: i just wanted to see if i could pronounce luhannie ( / repeats back and frowns as well, but it never lasts long and he's grinning back at luhan ) ...what do you want to name it then protein pabro then? ( / sadly at the moment all his mind is thinking of are food names now )
soojung: {` yelps} WAE
char: (/ fingers play with the puppy's ears, smiling to himself as the others bicker over names. )
luhan: YOU KNOW WHY.
chanyeol: luhan's pretty manly ( / he adds with a sage nod as if being his roommate allows sudden insight ) he pulls off pink. which makes him super manly indeed. i can't pull off pink.
luhan: {` pokes her head }
soojung: YOU ARE SOOOOOOOO MEAN {` pouts as she stares up at him, showing off those puppy eyes}
chanyeol: ( / he looks over to char playing with the puppy and pauses before smiling ) joonmyun looked after him earlier in the day...he couldn't make it right now unfortunately...but he said...he'll be back later with his present for you...
luhan: {` nods at chanyeols words, tempted to give him a thumbs up as he chirps } yeah, i d-- {` blinks at the expression staring back at him courtesy of one jung soojung, shifting his hand to grasp her pouting bottom lip and pull on it a bit } don't pout at me. you started it. {` murmurs, frowning back }
soojung: {` blinks slowly when he grabs her lower lip, brows furrowing slightly as she pouts even more} mean, you're so mean! {` wrinkles her nose and shoves him a bit}
chanyeol: ( / whispers ) mean when you're the pea stealer ( / it's quiet obvious that despite how much he loves soojung. he's still harboring a small grudge over that. very smile. like microscopic. totally. )
char: ah.. okay. (/ shrugs a little ) i didn't expect anything anyway… so this is nice. (/ looks at chanyeol, ravi, soojung and luhan. ) thanks guys.. (/ darts his eyes back down to the puppy, taking refuge in its big eyes -- away from the ones of the other mutants on his bed. )
luhan: {` takes the shove with a chuckle, swinging an arm around to grasp her head in a light grip and pull it down before leaning in down -- half hug, half headlock -- and speaking against her forehead } you mean girl. mean. mean. /mean./
chanyeol: ( / looks over at luhan and soojung playfully bickering and he can't help but lean in and drape himself over the two of them, letting his weight press against them before looking up at char ) ...it's really no problem. if you're happy..that's really all that matters. especially on your birthday!
soojung: hey! i heard that {` huffs at chanyeol, though she's more distracted by the arm around her as she flails and whines a bit} you're the mean one -- stoooop ! {` whines and makes a face when chanyeol joins} oh my god, you're so heavy-- {` sighs loudly and dramatically} you know -- char, we didn't even get to cut into your birthday cake yet! {` calls out from beneath the two heavy bitches D<}
luhan: {` hunches over under the weight of chanyeol perched on his back and shoulders, but truthfully isn't the least bit bothered even as he grumbles } yah, you're not lightweight, yannooooo.
luhan: ooooh, cake. {` promptly loses his focus }
char: well my hand is full. (/ raises the puppy in his hand. ) the other is down. someone else cut the cake (/ lazy)
soojung: i vote one of these two fatasses {` grumbles}
chanyeol: i'm not heavy! i'm just big boned ( / he offers but laughs at the grumbling sound the two of them make before getting off and looking over at the cake ) ....luhan you should cut the cake. i trust your skills ( / grins at with a thumbs up )
luhan: {` sighs a bit as he pulls himself up and from under the other male, releasing her on the way to look over the cake -- chuckling a bit at the work of art on top } yeah, fine. {` picks up the knife tucked neatly inside the box, cutting char a slice -- it was only fair -- before handing him a plate and cutting one for himself; both big pieces } there. {` walks back to his seat }
soojung: ....dick.
luhan: {` takes a piece of the corner of his slice with the fork and shoves it into her mouth. } shut up.
chanyeol: ... ( / pouts ) ... ( / eventually leaves the bed and shuffles over to cut himself his own piece. seeing as no one else was going to get it and happily comes back after placing the cake on the plate and taking a bite himself ) mmm this is good cake.
luhan: {` goes back to eating } there are more pieces cut, just grab them.
char: thanks. (/ grins up at luhan. giving a shit eating grin toward the others )
soojung: {` blinks at the bite shoved in her mouth as she chews, brows furrowing at him} no. {` mumbles with her mouth full, eventually swallowing and flashing him a quick pout before she opens her mouth again} feed me it's your fault for not grabbing one for me.
luhan: no problem birthday boy. {` sneaks in the jab, lips curving into a smile that gives way to his characteristic -- open-mouthed -- disbelief } it's your fault for being lazy. here, feed yourself. {` gives her the fork and scoots his plate over a little to make it easier for her to reach -- watches chanyeol grab one of the bigger slices with a grin } isn't it?
chanyeol: ( / he nods after taking another bite and then offers his plate, since it had the bigger slice and grins ) in case princess soojung eats all of yours ( / but he turns over to soojung, it was a light-hearted joke and eventually leans out to char ) do you want a slice of cake too, char?
soojung: thank you. {` hmphs when he offers her the fork, taking a bite herself as she shifts and watches the other two, blinking a few times} so thoughtful chanyeol, you are my nicest subject. {` waves her hand dramatically, laughing a bit as she shifts} so -- what's the name of the pup? coco puff right? {` blinks, she might have totally forgotten to pay attention to the convo halfway in}
luhan: {` blinks, thanking chanyeol while taking a bit of the offered slice and popping it into his mouth before the other male moves away }char: luhan already gave me a slice. (/ he says albeit muffled. char's mouth full with the last of his cake. ) thanks though. (/ his eyes turn into crescents. the easy way his face contorts surprises even himself. ) uh-- (/ eyes soojung and then to the puppy. ) no. (/ B> ) i want a better name. … no offence.
soojung: {` frowns at his answer as she takes another bite} but why? coco is a perfect name! it matches his fur! {` huff}
char: … coco does sound better, i guess… (/ 8 | )
luhan: {` nods, chewing his piece of cake before speaking } i like coco.
chanyeol: of course, hoping to be rewarded soon for being such a good subject to you ( / mouth slightly muffled from the cake he was still eating and does a half-assed bow to soojung ) well... i have to agree with soojung and luhan this time. coco seems really fitting..and it's cute...and sounds tasty...the name that is!
luhan: and sounds tasty... {` repeats, not for the first time wondering if chanyeol was all there }
char: (/ peers down at the hopeful eyes of the puppy in his lap. he ruffles the fur under its chin. ) coco. (/ char's lips spread into a smile. ) you are coco.
soojung: {` whispers under her breath with her mouth full} moe
char: speak korean. (/ B< )
luhan: {` turns a bit and grasps the top of her head and her chin, moving them together } chew, princess. chew.
soojung: make m-- {` stops and blinks furiously at luhan, making a face as she reaches up to swat his hands away} don't touch your princess without permission i could have you flogged {` attempts that british accent}
chanyeol: coco sounds likes a tasty name okay ( / slightly pouts even though it was a weak ass excuse and continues to just eat the cake instead and puts a big piece into his mouth ) what's frogged? ( / asks after a moment of thorough chewing although he still sounds slightly muffled with some cake in his mouth )
luhan: flogged... like... hit? {` guesses himself, dropping his hands to his lap -- nose wrinkling }
soojung: yeah, hit. {` nods wisely} like so -- {` dips two fingers over the cream before she leans over and swats at luhan's cheek with it, grinning cheekily}
luhan: {` closes an eye -- half-expecting it to be honest } that's gross, soojung. {` murmurs and lifts his finger to wipe a bit of it off }
chanyeol: ( / luhan and soojung are both distracted with the cream trick, he quickly dips his fingers as well before calling out ) hey soojung ( / grinning he leans over and swipes her nose ) and luhannie~ ( / he singsongs as he moves over to swipe his roommate's other cheek a chuckle escaping after joining in )
soojung: {` snickers to herself and pokes out her tongue at him, looking smug as hell} wh-- {` stops short at the cream on her nose as she blinks a few times, pouting to herself before she moves, dipping her fingers into the cream before poking chanyeol square in the forehead} hah!
luhan: {` laughs, choosing them to shimmy away from the battle and escape }
oh jiyoooooong! (/ eunji runs up from behind the older, jumping onto his back without warning and laughing maniacally ) how're you, huh? (/ unlatches herself just as quickly as she came, moving to stand in front of him and raising her hand to pull at his cheek affectionately -- but only for a split second before she gets scolded for too much touching ) why don't you answer my texts to get food? i'm a growing girl who needs her nutrition! plus, i need someone to pay for me... heh.
(/ ji…. yong? jiyong? did that brat just call him by his first name — turns halfway until he catches her running towards him, automatically causing him to whip back around in a lethargic attempt to dodge the oncoming attack — to no avail however, he lets out a grunt when she jumps onto his back ) fucking terrible — (/ is his strained response as she gets off him; his hand snaps forward to roughly smack her over the head just as fast as she had pinched his cheek ) don’t you think you’re touching me too freely, kid? (/ lightly rubs his cheek with the most distasteful expression he can muster on his face, scoffing at her query ) ahhh, is my wallet the only thing you like me for? (/ pinches her cheek in retaliation ) all this fat — (/ wiggles the flesh he’s gathered between his fingers ) i’ll pay you to exercise instead (/ laughs then because he’s kind of a douche )
