she threw the black hood over her head, hiding her face in the shadows. it was a piece of clothing already known between the employees - and also most regulars - yet it never failed to impress. she took slow, gentle steps towards the boy, stopping right behind his back before whispering in the lowest voice she could manage. “i am batman.” the perfect english wasn’t quite proof of her birthplace - it was a line everybody knew, and there wasn’t even an accent to serve as tip. it only served for her coworker to turn around and admire the situation he had found himself in.
yet it wasn’t her coworker, was it? and her day had been going so well. so jiae slowly brought her hands up to her face, hiding it away in pure shame. though her index fingers kept themselves separated for her eyes to spy on the situation she was in. why was his white shirt styled the same way as their uniform? it was an accident just waiting to happen - and it did happen, though sadly with sunday instead of anyone else. “oh, man, i’m not actually batman. sorry to disappoint.”
her fingernails tap on the counter, frown marring her face as she waits to for her order to slide through. her mind is wandering, to everything that’s happened the past few weeks. it’s all begin to wear down on her, the medicine’s effects, the reoccurring therapy sessions—the worried methods of contact from her parents that she wanted to avoid at all costs—and noel’s sudden role reversal in their sibling relationship. it’s all weighing her down, knocking her down on her back and holding her feet down so she can’t stand back up again.
it’s frustrating. tiring, it’s all bottling up to the point where sic feels like she’s about to break.
her jaw tenses, eyes narrowing as she glares at the counter, her finger increasing it’s tapping, incessant and impatient. the barista is smiling when she slides her drinks over, but sic can only manage half of one as she accepts them. with a weak thanks and a bow of her head, she turns on her heel and makes her way back to the table—the form of the male seating there making her frown falter just a little bit. she exhales softly, attempting to relieve herself of the irritation—pushing a smile on her face as she increases her pace a bit. reaching him, she presses a cup of iced coffee onto the side of his cheek, leaning over to peer at him with a cattish grin.
“sorry for the wait. got you something. my treat.” she tugs the drink away from him and sets it down in front of him, sliding into a seat across from him. “it’s iced, sorry—but it has a lot of espresso to keep you awake.” her smile is teasing, eyes crinkling at the corners. she wraps her hand around her warm beverage, the hot chocolate in her grip a chance of solace and comfort. “thanks for coming—“ she had planned on performing that night at the festival, and she wanted to have any sort of possible support and relief; and she thanks hoya to the moon and back for indulging. “it means a lot, really.”

RELATIONSHIP TALK ━ playlist edition!
theme: first love ( feat. kim sunggyu / former @rksunggyu )
( you remember your first love because they show you, prove to you, that you can love and be loved, that nothing in this world is deserved except for love, that love is both how and you become a person and why. )
► she’s loved and lost but she’s only been in love and lost it once. he’s left nothing but a stain on her heart and fond memories covered with fog and cobwebs. he’ll always be the one she’s put the most into, always the one she may have considered forever and more with. he’s helped her learn a lot about herself– both before, during, and after the relationship.
01. no more sad songs, little mix
i keep trying, nothing’s working
i still wanna know, if you’re alone
i keep trying to put this behind me
i still wanna know, who’s taking you home.
02. kids in love, mayday parade
young love was such dumb love
call it what you want, it was still enough
03. spring day, bts
yeah i hate you, although you left
there hasn’t been a day that I have forgotten you
honestly, i miss you, but now I’ll erase you
because that will hurt less than resenting you
04. fine, taeyeon
i keep thinking about our last moment
the words “take care” was it for our plain breakup
not yet, i tell myself, like a fool
i can’t swallow the words that linger in my mouth
it’s not fine
05. 11:11, taeyeon
everything finds its place and leaves
you took all of me and left
but like the two hands of the clock in my heart
i keep lingering in the same place
06. i’m your tonight, the academy is…
forever alone until i found you,
and now you’re always there;
voice on the air, scent on my clothes.
oh, but when the sun exposes all my demons,
will you stay or run away?
07. speechless, the veronicas
i thought I could resist you
i thought that I was strong
somehow you were different from what I’ve known
i didn’t see you coming, you took me by surprise and
you stole my heart before I could say no
08. on your side, the veronicas
i still wear your t-shirt out
all the ink is faded now
i wonder who you’re dreaming of tonight.
Are there any lucky guys or gals out there that have caught your eye?
she takes a moment to take the question in, humming as her teeth worry at her lip. her head lolls to one side, shifting in her spot as she attempts to think. lucky, huh? “well,” she starts, smile curving at the corner of her lips. “i went on a date not too long ago. he was good company, more than good, actually. i’d definitely do it again-- but i’m not saying any names. i don’t kiss and tell, after all.”
Can you remember a time in your life when you felt alone?
“I can honestly say that I’ve been really lucky in this regard. My best friend was my next door neighbor growing up and still is now even though we moved away from Busan together. Howon’s always been there for me, even when it seemed like no one else would. So I can honestly say that because of him and his family, no, I can’t really remember a time where I felt alone.”
