exit wounds.

ft. @idaroon; detail your characters practicing one of their secondary skills; lyric writing (+5/+5).

it’s dark. the lights are off, the curtains are closed. seokyung would even dare to say it was quiet if it wasn’t for aroon’s breathing, one that had gotten calmer and quieter in contrast to how erratic it had been just moments ago; when their bodies moved against each other, when they touched, kissed, and tasted. maybe his breathing could be heard too, but he didn’t perceive it, maybe because he was too focused on the man he was sharing this hotel bed with. it had to be. 

some other times they would be laughing, probably even already planning when to meet next time, you know, casualties. but they’re not. it’s quiet and if anyone knows seokyung, then they know he hates quiet. quiet makes people overthink. it makes people more emotional, it makes people... get in their heads. and the thing is: he knows why they’re quiet. it’s because aroon’s head really isn’t all here, he can only assume. 

sure, he loves when they fuck and he’s a pretty good fuck at that. but before all of that? he’s a friend, a close one. seokyung is aware of his life, of the most important aspects anyway. he knows aroon thinks too much lately, yet still gives himself to him ever so willingly. it feels great, it’s a bonus and it’s also the reason why he doesn’t pressure him to speak up, he doesn’t really press on the matter, he doesn’t want to bother him. which, honestly, it’s for the better; seokyung has never been good with words, especially when it comes to love. 

god, he hates love. but maybe because he can’t really have a relationship to save his life. he’s too selfish, too self-absorbed, too obsessed with himself. it never really ever works, so he’s not the best when it comes down to any of that. yet, he still shifts around to his side and looks at his friend. yes, they’re not a couple and there’s nothing romantic between them but it doesn’t mean he can’t admire how pretty he is, after all, that’s the reason why they got themselves into this.

“as quiet as a tomb.” he breaks the silence, one hand coming up, fingers brushing aroon’s hair out of his face, “you’re not even complaining about midas pulling some bullshit on you this time; so whatever thing going on in your head right now must be tough then.” he knows what that ‘whatever thing’ is, but in such circumstances like this, he doesn’t even dare to say it out loud. probably just to see if aroon is in the mood to talk about it or not. “or, was it the moaning, hm? you were actually pretty loud tonight, so i wouldn’t be too surprised if your voice is gone because of it.” and he smiles at him, so he knows he’s joking, so he knows he can trust him if he wants to talk.

He got there early, which actually, was kind of a first. It’s not like Hyukjae was far from punctual, he was just really bad at managing time sometimes, which yes, he knew it probably wasn’t too professional, but truthfully, what can you do when you want to do many things on the same day? He couldn’t help it, it was kind of a habit at this point... and the good thing about it was that Aroon knew. Of course he did.

Dropping his bag next to the nearest wall, Hyukjae pulled his phone out of his pocket and opened his text conversation with his best friend. To pull a small joke on him (if you could even call it a joke), he texted him expressing how disappointed he was on him for “being late”, especially when he had been there waiting for him “at the time we agreed on”. He knew it was okay to joke with it because they never held anything against each other, at least not seriously. 

He’d never dare hold anything against him, anyway. Even if something bad ever happened between them, Hyukjae knew he’d never have the strength to fight him, no, not Aroon. He was bad at conflict and generally terrible at confronting issues, but with his best friend? It only got worse. It was physically impossible to be mad at him, even if he tried. They had been friends since the very first day he was signed as a trainee and since then, they had been inseparable.

Walking over to the sound system, he plugged his phone to the console and took his time choosing the song he wanted to dance to as a warm up. Once he made up his mind and the song started to play, he walked over to the center of the studio. With one swift movement, he turned back his hat so it wouldn’t block his view, if at all. To the rhythm of the music, he moved. Some steps were firm, some steps were a bit lazier than the others, some even looked sloppy. Hyukjae had always been good at learning whatever choreography they wanted him to learn; but when it came down to freestyle? He felt like he was terrible at it, or at least, that was his perception.

He was so focused on his moves that he didn’t even notice the moment someone opened the door, nor the moment when that someone just stood there, that is, of course, until he turned around and looked up, his body suddenly coming to a stop, almost as if he was a child who just stole a cookie and got caught. His eyes connected with Aroon’s, and his right hand came up to press itself against chest, “Ah~hyung!” he expressed, almost breathless and now completely startled. “How long have you been standing there?” his question was then followed by a sheepish chuckle, “You scared me.”

contrast.

To say Taehee was excited would be a huge understatement. For weeks, after the company let her and her group mates know they soon would be working on their comeback, she truly couldn’t even describe the happiness she felt. Sure, for some time now, she had been actively making appearances here and there with Heaven, which was phenomenal because she knew she couldn’t stay home forever or else she’d go absolutely nuts. Either way, knowing they were going to work on something new, something fresh, brought her an undeniable happiness.

After weeks on top of weeks of preparations, Taehee’s confidence grew, something she had lost along the way but was slowly, yet surely, working on achieving once again. She was so satisfied with what the group was doing and could only hope the fans would be just as excited as she was. 

Today was the perfect day to figure that out. She had woken up with the biggest smile on her face, and she was pretty sure she kept that goofy smile throughout the rest of the day. Maybe it was a bit bizarre to some, but to her, it meant everything. Of course, she was both happy and nervous about the fans’ reaction towards her, but luckily, she didn’t go through anything bad, so that only further eased her into feeling more comfortable, into thinking that /maybe/ they forgot. It couldn’t be though, she’s always been more than aware that they never forget, but a girl was allowed to dream.

One of the best parts about this was getting to see familiar faces you haven’t seen in so long. Last time Taehee saw so many people was at the Gayo show and after party, and even so, it wasn’t like she had managed to meet up with many of them. She had seen faces pass by, had waved her hand at someone, you name it. Yet, she felt like there were still plenty of people she didn’t have the luck to catch up with before. 

And as people walked around backstage and her group mates had gone their own way, she did the same; walking around the hallways with no specific route. It was then that she saw her and Taehee couldn’t help but smile at the sight. She had known Jiyeon for quite some time now, maybe they weren’t the bestest of friends (not even best), but at least she knew they were two people on good terms and someone Taehee liked striking a conversation with whenever there was a chance. “Jiyeon-a.” she called for her, her natural warmth pushing her to pull the other female into a soft and quick hug, “How’ve you been? Gosh, it’s been so long since the last time I saw you... or you know, since the last time we talked, don’t you think?” smiling at her, she tilted her head, “Ah, you look so pretty today, by the way!”

roses & songs.

She thought it was a great idea. Even without knowing who they’d want her to work with, and you know, not like she would have an issue with anyone anyway because she took a lot of pride in having good working relationships with other artists, she was already sold on the idea. Taehee could be a lovesick fool if she really wanted to be, there was no question about it. She loved the whole schtick about Valentine’s Day. The gifts, the colors, the chocolates, the balloons, the flowers, literally just about everything and anything about it even if she had no one to celebrate it with.

Okay, maybe her friends. Which is why, the moment she was told she’d be doing this special broadcast with Jaeyoon, she pretty much about lost it. Jaeyoon was.. special. He had been one of her very first friends when they were younger and they even had a small, sweet relationship back in the day. It even wasn’t anything serious at all, it was just one of those relationships you have because you feel happy and comfortable with the person until you realize you’re much better off as friends. This was the case of that. 

Thankfully, both had grown up practically together, just seeing each other, hanging out with one another. Taehee was aware of the kind of personality he had, and it was very interesting because he was the complete opposite to who she was. People often wondered how a friendship between the two could be possible when they weren’t alike at all. She obviously didn’t pay much attention to that, being much more focused on her friendship to be bothered.

And so, here she was, sitting in front of the computer the company had set up for him and for her and their “Special Valentine’s Day broadcast”. She knew that her most dedicated fans would be aware of her close friendship with him, but for those who didn’t know, she was happy she’d be able to show them that today. Though, for some reason, she was a bit nervous to do this; truthfully being in front of a computer and knowing she’d have to go live in a moment was pretty... terrifying. It surely brought back many memories she tried hard to suppress everyday. 

They were only waiting for him so they could start the broadcast, and when the door swung open and she turned to see her friend standing there, she got up and opened her arms, a dramatic, yet cheerful “Yoonie-yaaaaaaah!” escaping her as she approached him, tightly wrapping her arms around him. “How exciting is it that you get to spend today with one of your favorite people in the whole world?” the ‘exciting’ was pure sarcasm, because she knew he was probably (definitely) not too happy about this.
