The person opening the door was the opposite of Candice. She looked so messy that it almost amused the boy but he tried to play it cool and maintain his poker face. He couldn't help but notice the way she was scanning him from head to toe. The words that left her lips left Bummie completely baffled. The poker face was no longer on the table, his facial expressions shifting into a shocked one, tasting the disrespect. Did she just just ask to sign for a package? Did she just mistake him for a courier? He rolled his eyes, this trade mark expression and pinched the bridge of his nose in a rather dramatic manner. "Did you just call me a poor in all the languages? I mean, I do deliver on a daily, but in looks, not in packages."

The unexpected response that came from the man caused Nari to raise an amused brow. Despite being complete strangers, she couldn't help but appreciate his quick wit. If she had found herself in a similar situation, she might have responded with a similar level of humor, but he definitely surpassed her. A gentle smirk formed on her face as she raised both hands in a gesture of innocence, indicating that she meant no harm. "I gotta admit, I might still be a little drunk... Sorry, about that. I could kind of tell right away that you were far too stylish to be a mere delivery person. But these days you never know what to expect— no offense to the delivery professionals," she added, shrugging her shoulders and rubbing the back of her neck in an attempt to release the tension that had been building up since she woke up. "Are you here for Candice though?" Nari wasn't about to allow just anyone to enter her sister's place, so she needed to verify his identity before proceeding any further.

"Sweetheart, I know neither of us feel like we're prepared enough quite yet..." Nari looked over at the pile of vitamins, baby stuff, and the carrier. "... but are you sure we couldn't leave some of this in the car?"

Bummie knocks on the door expecting for Candice to open up but he's being greeted by someone else. "Oh? Did I get the wrong apartment? I'm really sorry--"

"Shit!— hold on a moment!" The sudden knock on the door startled a groggy and hungover Nari, causing her to nearly trip and hurt herself while rushing to answer it. Her sister, Candice, was currently not at home, and Nari had been sound asleep before she left to run some errands. However, Nari knew she had to face the situation head-on in case Candice had any packages or deliveries scheduled. Swinging the door open, Nari's appearance was quite the opposite of Candice's polished and put-together look. Her hair was messy and disheveled from restless sleep. "Are you here for Candice? She left a while ago, but I can sign for the package if you have one," she said, mistaking the unfamiliar face for a delivery person, although she couldn't help but notice that he was dressed much more fashionably than a typical courier.

Mackenzie took a deep breath. She knew they were there. They'd figured out their positioning already before they got there, thanks to Sam and Sylvia. But she couldn't fight the pit in her stomach.

The oracle slowly opened the door, stepping into the vacant, slightly decript home. She glanced around, breathing slow. She knew not to let her guard down, but even this was...

He was here somewhere. He had to be.

"Well, aren't you all grown up?"

Mackenzie tensed, looking around. She didn't see him anywhere, but he could see her.

Sam stayed in his spot below the window to the living room, shotgun ready, looking towards Nick and raising an eyebrow. The wizard had heard something inside, but couldn't make anything out. He just hoped Alec was exactly where they wanted him to be.

curiosity found trouble

the question had the bodyguard freezing in his spot and looked over to where the other spoke to him, his fingers twisting around the slender ropes that he had picked up from the floor when he walked into the room. "... huh?"

Nari hit pause mid-stride, head cocking toward him with that knowing little smirk tugging at her lips as she crunched over the shattered glass littering the cabin’s floor. Rumor had it this rotting shack was the last known bolt-hole of some unhinged murderer—and of course that meant she had to go poking around, consequences be damned. Just to prove whether the bastard had actually drowned or was still out there, laughing at them all.

She’d dragged Byeol into this mess late tonight for a reason.

Watching him as his fingers hooked around the frayed ropes on the floor, she tossed back, “That’s definitely evidence. Bag it. I’m hitting the basement.” No question who’d be the one going first—because, let’s be real, Byeol was the only soul on this planet she’d trust with her back. Bodyguard title or not. It still didn't mean she would have him going down there when this had all been her idea.

“ do you think we should move in together? you spend all your time here anyway. ”

Nari scrunched her nose up in deep thought, considering the idea. At first, she didn't think it sounded too bad. After all, the sisters would definitely have a blast if they were under the same roof. Maybe they would have way too much fun, but Nari didn't want to scare Candice off with her occasional insomniac tendencies either.

"Don't tempt me!" Nari exclaimed, her eyes lighting up with excitement. "I already don't want to go back home." Slumping over on the floor, Nari stretched out her arms and legs, as if she were preparing to make a snow angel. Of course, there was no snow in the apartment. Instead, there was just a rather defeated Nari, trying her best not to give in to the wonderful idea of rooming with her sister.

Suddenly, an idea sparked in Nari's mind. "What if we found a place that's even bigger? I'm talking about a three-bedroom apartment! We could decorate it however we wanted!" The wheels in her head began to spin with possibilities, and Nari couldn't help but imagine the endless opportunities that a bigger space would bring.

Nick knocks quickly at the door, waiting anxiously and bouncing in place again, sniffing for her coming to the door out of-- reflex...

Nari took a deep breath, standing by the door for a second before opening it. She was anxious. But excited. Happy, God she was happy, but she was nervous, too.

They were still young. But she had faith.

The dragon smiled at him when she opened the door, joyful tears in her eyes. "Hey, darling. I've got something to tell you."

Title: Passing Notes

Muse: Nari

Okay, this is simple. Just reach back, and hand him the note. Easy. Super easy. A lot easier than figuring out all on my own if that kiss actually meant something.

Nari bit her lip, staring at the note for another second. She watched Spud at the front of the class, reaching back without turning when he turned around and holding the folded note out to Nick wordlessly.
