kibum leans against the glossy door of his baby blue 1959 cadillac eldorado, his baby, the one thing he’d ever allowed himself to completely splurge on-- it’s also the primary reason he lives in the cheapest place available on the island and is so stingy regarding nearly everything else, save for his clothes (you can’t put a pricetag on style, he’s always said). his lips wrap around the cherry lime lollipop clasped between his index finger and thumb, twirling the candy and idly observing the wealthy customers of the resort from behind circular sunglasses.
the twenty-three-year-old has always been a free spirit, marching to the off-kilter beat of his own, worn drum. not many can match his steps, or they give up trying fairly early in the song. somehow, however, ryden’s been one of the select few who willingly puts in the effort to keep up-- and he manages it, not only marching beside but also doing so to his own, unique beat, one that sometimes overlaps with kibum’s. the older knows his presence can be draining, what with his desire to push the boundaries and remind himself that he’s bursting with life and not just some meandering flesh sack of blood, bones, and organs, but ryden has never minded. if anything, he’s the only one kibum has felt knows what that desire feels like, a mutual need to thrive serving as a tie between them.
it’s not exactly something he voices, but kibum is incredibly grateful for ryden’s presence in his life. those restless feet of his often lead him trekking down foreign paths, scratching up and dirtying the calloused soles of his feet (he wishes they’d leave scars on his soul instead, proof of his existence, of his travels). he’ll admit it: it can be lonely at times, this quest and thirst for adventure. but he’s always known that, at a moment’s notice, ryden will be there for the journey, regardless of where it takes them. he just hopes the other knows he would do the same in return in a heartbeat.
