[ SMS: Jung Haeun ] I’m not a babysitter, i’m actually teaching children a valuable art. [ SMS: Jung Haeun ] You’ll understand when you’re in your thirties, chasing around little kids in leotards, and attempting to teach them some form of coordination.
[ SMS: Jung Haeun ] Wait, are you talking about your tan-colored dog that likes to stare into my soul whenever we meet up at the park, right? [ SMS: Jung Haeun ] I’m not the best person to babysit and Sori dislikes things that are loud. it breaks his concentration.

☠ (SMS: Jung Haeun) So you know how they say if you want to find out if you’re fit to have children you should babysit kids?(SMS) Let’s just say, this piano lesson is making me rethink my entire career as a teacher.(SMS) If you don’t bring me an espresso right now i will tell this child that you’ll give her as much cake as she wants then YOU can deal with her. (SMS) You can hear her tell me ‘no’ from halfway across the shop, right? Haeun, I never ask you for anything, please!
❤ (SMS: Jung Haeun) I can’t believe that it’s been so long since we’ve last seen each other but I’m glad that we finally made the time to catch up. (SMS) Oh, and thank you for the tickets. Seeing you perform again brought back great memories. I’m proud to see how you’ve improved over the years, you really are a star on stage~ (SMS) You won’t forget me in the future if ever you need a playwright or a danseur, right? Hehe.
recently kae’s been wondering why he spends more time at the ballet company. he has his job yes, but when he’s not in meetings and discussing terms he has no reason to stick around. no reason to watch the burn and break of souls that happen every minute. he’s seen a girl go from on top of the world to burning in the core before, and he watches it happen like clockwork. tears of failure, tears of happiness, interchanging much how fate likes to toy with people.
he’s watched it, felt it, lived it. and maybe that’s why he sticks around.
maybe he can’t help but understand this kind of torture. and maybe he can’t get rid of the torture he does to himself by choosing to remember and stay in his past.
it’s nearing midnight when he’s done his errands, when he can finally leave. with hiro pushing at his hand and waves to those who’ve started to acknowledge his presence. he’s come to know quite a few as passing glances and partial waves. everyone with a partial place in his day, and a plait in the idea that he exists separate from them.
some exist more than others, some draw him in more than others and haeun’s one of them. as much as she’s a reminder, a memory, she’s an existence, bold and bright rather than bitter. that’s why it’s pleasant to talk to her, why it’s okay to stop and talk and reminisce silently. it’s because she’s one of the breaks in this separation that he’s okay with his offer, okay with taking her home, for more reasons than on the surface.
“you guys leave late, if they didn’t close for cleaning at night, some of you would sleep there I bet.” kae can rarely talk easily during the night, got too many thoughts swimming around but he makes it work. “in fact, think I saw a girl sleeping there once, was doing a sweep of the floor when hiro nearly ran into her. wasn’t a pretty sight, she attacked me with her gym bag. you guys keep bricks in there.”
reality breaks again with his laugh, though light and not bouncing through the car it’s a laugh. it’s a start.
“tiiiny dancer~! why didn’t you pick up the phone? don’t y’know it’s, like, the law or something to not do that? i mean, it’s against the law to not answer me when i call you,” he says, words slurring. “how dare you!! i’m going to have my roommate arrest you because he’s a cop and he won’t stand for this injust– this injustice!! okay, i’m drunk so that’s why i’m yelling at you. but why didn’t you pick up the phone, seriously? seriouuuusly… seriously. serious. seriously. d’you ever say a word too many times and then it stops making sense to you? i’m serious. if you don’t call me back in like one single minute i’m going to kick you into outer space. i’m just kidding. i can’t punch that hard. i mean kick.” he laughs as if that’s the funniest thing he’s ever heard in his entire life. it really feels like it is when he’s at this giddy stage. “i miss you. i’m lonely. come hang out with me and keep me company before i do somethin’ really stupid, like leave drunk people voicemails. i mean… you know what i mean. jus’ call me baaaack, okay? call me back. right now, call me back. okay. that is all. ba-bye! oh – and this is seyoon, by the way. kang seyoon. don’t forget me. i’m the tall handsome guy you know who is very cool. okay. now, goodbye! g’bye, g’bye!”
( sms: the older eun ) this is really random but, I really like hearing stories from you. I guess you can say i'm patiently waiting until the next one, miss eun. so... until then?
( sms: snowflower ) you like my stories? Then why don't you stop by the store, and I'll tell you one. One just for you.
( sms: from cassiopeia ) I hope you're been doing well, mister. it feels like we haven't spoken in a while, haven't we? ( sms: from cassiopeia ) come to the cafe sometime soon, hm?

[ 3:22PM ] I’ve been surviving. Barely. I believe the boredom of routines is slowly getting to me. I’ve been tempted to fling myself off the stairs twice today to fix that. [ 3:22PM ] You know what, I probably will. Have a cup of tea ready?[ 3:27PM ] Actually, I think I’ll need two. There are kids in the ward now.[ 3:28PM ] They're walking sources of migraines. I'm tempted to fling them off the stairs instead.
