A humble thank you| Lillian & Luna

@sonxta

She had gotten the girl’s address from the ARG. Honestly, Lillian truly wanted to thank her for finding the key and helping them all get closer to their goal of opening that god-forsaken door in the abyss.

Part of Lillian hoped she didn’t seem too intimidating, she had a bad case of resting bitch face, but the other part of her didn’t really care. Maybe the gift she brought would...help?

The brunette explorer had baked cookies and packed them in a cloth bag to give to Luna. She’d never really met this girl before, but still. She had to be thanked.

Taking a breath, Lillian knocked on the door to Luna’s house.

Lazy Days ||  Henry & ??? (Open)

It was so hot... The height of summer and there was honestly very little Henry could do to cool off. He currently sat inside a little restaurant in the abyssal city, staring out towards the Abyss, wondering if it could provide for him the experiences of summer he so badly lacked and desired.

He sighed and sipped the sweetened coffee he had ordered. Maybe if his insides were hot, he’d be cooler from the outdoors? Either that or he just really needed the caffeine.

His left hand reached for the umbrella that was leaning against the table next to him. palming the end of the grip idly. He should probably get going. Maybe.

However, Henry apparently fiddled with the parasol a little too much and it slipped out of his hand, clattering to the floor and rolling away towards someone.

“Oh shoot! I’m so sorry-” he automatically apologized, despite having done nothing wrong. Henry got up out of his chair and jogged over to his discarded umbrella, picking it up. “I hope I didn’t bother you. It slipped out of my hand you see.”

The young teacher offered the stranger an apologetic smile.

An Off Day || Lillian & Dia

@lilyoftheabyss

“Have you found anything new?” Was the first sentence to come out of Lillian’s mouth in a long while. She was lying down on the couch she and Dia shared in their apartment, a book resting on her chest. The book was opened to a random page, but it was unread and was only lying there in case Lillian felt like actually picking it back up.

She sighed, “Sorry if I’m being annoying, asking about it. But like...let me know if I can help or anything.”

♡  OPEN STARTER.

The thick scent of impending rain hung in the air. Seoul showers had a different feeling than the ones she remembered from her childhood in Jeju. The tall buildings and amount of people often made it stifling, as if each droplet was its own entity pushing past her. She much preferred watching it from within her dormitory window or listening to the pelting of it on the rooftops. Luck decided not to go on a walk with Chorong that day. Instead, it brought down a heavy rain on her head. Little flicks to the crown of her scalp. Coupled with the cool weather, she shivered to the bone.

Instinct brought her swiftly underneath the narrow outcropping of a cafe’s veranda, but she knew remaining there would only lead to more inconvenience.

Her eyes met briefly with a person she didn’t even notice was striding alongside her. Not until they opened the door for her. She bowed her head and muttered a quick “thank you” before shuffling inside and grabbing a seat at a table. Multiple people had the same idea; they poured in after her, abandoning their makeshift umbrellas as they entered.

Chorong was once again too caught up in her own little world to notice the same individual from before planting themself across from her. She busied herself with rifling through her bag to make sure the items were still in tact. ( Though, this process involved placing each and every one of the contents on the table. ) Miffy mini notebook: check. Phone: check. Colored pen set: check. Fortunately, nothing seemed soaked through aside from her hair.

(  “Some weather we’re having.”  ) Their voice rang out.

“Oh.” She squinted at him. Too familiar. Their features were so distinct, it would be difficult to forget. Along with their voice. “Oh! Hey, aren’t you…” It was on the tip of her tongue. Only because she wanted them to continue for her. There was an obvious reason for them keeping part of their face concealed and Chorong didn’t want to be the one responsible for potentially blowing their cover. “You don’t have to act all suspicious around me. And, yeah, it’s not really great weather.” What a cheesy line! As if she wouldn’t have said the same thing.

jihyun huffed out a breath, phone and hands clunking down onto the sides of the bench she sat on. how in the world did anyone live their whole lives on the internet? she couldn’t manage more than fifteen minutes at a time. then again, real life was always more entertaining.

take that person, for instance. staring off at someone else for god knows why. from her own vantage point, she could only see half of their face, definitely not enough to make a solid assumption. figuring it out nonetheless shouldn’t be hard. who could tell hwang jihyun a lie?

she ran her hand through her hair to re-situate it before making her way over to her mark. a smile etched itself onto her face and worked into her tonality before she opened her metaphorical grand doors, “i see that look.” jihyun let her entrance sit, knowing waiting long enough would have most questioning what look had been on their face in the first place. her answer being the key, she broke the air with a sharp turn of the lock, “you totally have a crush on them, right? that’s so cute. puppy love’s adorable.” jihyun’s laugh rolled out like smoke. after it dissipated, she clicked her tongue on the roof of her mouth, “though-” in her pause, her arms folded inward, and a hand came to her face, forefinger resting against her cheek, “aren’t they a little out of your league?”
