[Minho to Inhye] ❝Maybe you should sit down.❞
Sickness starters: Status - Always accepting@thenextleap
“I’m fine.” Despite the insistence it was obvious that ‘fine’ was the very last thing that she was. Rising too quickly to her feet was enough to leave her faint and stumbling to find the edge of the table for support. How long had it been since she’d actually had a proper nights sleep? She couldn’t even remember. She was completely exhausted but far too afraid to sleep and see the horrors that came to her at night. “Honestly oppa I just stood up too fast.” Even though she tried her words weren’t convincing at all. She sounded as drained as she felt.
“I apologize but I do not believe you” always so polite, even now, Minho didn’t touch her straight away and instead let his arms hover over her upper arms ready to catch her if it was needed. He was frowning softly as he watched her, he could smell the exhaustion on her. Maybe it was an odd thing to smell but it was for the sake of hunting, even if he no longer hunted, to choose the best target possible “When was the last time you slept? I do not like to make such comments but you really do look worse for wear”
[Jinah to Nari] “ how many have you kissed? ”
kiss sentence starters: Status - Always accepting@thenextleap
Nari had made a joke when they had first agreed to the idea of a sleepover that they would talk about boys and braid each others hair but she really hadn’t been wrong, had she? Well, unless Jinah had just waited a few days to continue on the joke. “Damn just dive right in there on those personal questions huh?” With a snort her head cocked to the side, lips pursed and eyes on the ceiling as she counted in her head. “Six but two of those were for dares so I dunno if they count. What about you?”
“I’m curious!” Jinah herself had close to no experience. She wasn’t a virgin, she had been kissed too, but...eh...it hadn’t been anything amazing. She wondered if she had expected too much but, at the same time, was it unfair to except something? It had just kind of happened, been a bit of a fumble, and dating had been quickly put onto the back burner in favour of her career after that. “One” she was honest, she wasn’t going to lie. She didn’t really talk about her poorer upbringing, the motivation that kept her working so hard. She was caring for her Mother, paying for her brother’s studies, but it had taken a lot of hardship to reach that point. The only one to know of it was her current boss, surprisingly enough, he had only interviewed her out of pure curiosity over why someone so under qualified had applied to the job and she had been honest. She was just lucky that he was a kind enough man to give her a chance, something she had been quick to prove she was deserving of “Years ago, I’m really out of the dating scene”
[Sooyoung to Minhee, as she's a shy little bab who can get scared or change her mind about doing something pretty easily] “W-We need to get out of here!”
Paranoia Sentence Starters: Status - Always accepting@thenextleap
“Sooyoung is everything okay?” Minhee knew it was a stupid question to ask when her friend was telling her they needed to leave but it had just seemed to come completely out of the blue. Until that moment she had thought that her friend was having a good time but was that something she had been really wrong over? With a twang of guilt she looked to the woman wondering if she had been an awful friend who hadn’t picked up on any signs of discomfort from the woman. As she waited for an answer she didn’t wait on the spot and was quickly leading the way through the crowd to get Sooyoung to somewhere she’d feel safe.”
“C-can we leave..?” Sooyoung’s voice was softer this time, smaller, as she kept her head down. It was only a small gathering but she had seen them, caught glimpse of them, anti mutant demonstrators. They were preaching their opinions on mutants as if they were preaching the word of God, handing out leaflets filled with hateful words, and while Minhee didn’t know what she was Sooyoung just wanted to get out of there...needed to. It was so easy for her knew start to feel so fragile, as if it could fall apart, her living her life as if she wasn’t a mutant depended on not being recognized by anyone in her past and she knew that it could so easily all be destroyed “I’m sorry, I j-just-” she continued to breath out words but she didn’t lift her head, even when her large glasses slipped down her nose. She just needed to get away..
inspirante-muses:
Minx couldn’t get drunk, or at least not on human alcohol but at times like this she wished that it could. She had opened up and confessed to a little of her thoughts but if she managed to get a little drunk then surely it would have been able to loosen her tongue and have speak a little more freely. Yura was such a sweet woman, one who Minx actually found herself developing feelings for but she just couldn’t put all the worries she had into words to find reassurance.
Looking up at the mention of her name the young demon stilled her fingers to listen to what the model had to say next and with what came she smiled shyly and lowered her gaze. She had felt cared for before but it was nothing compared to how Yura made her feel. That didn’t mean she was ready to jump into a relationship or into bed but she could definitely tell that the woman wasn’t toying her or playing some kind of cruel game.
“Eonnie…” Minx was nearly a century year old but technically in comparison to human age Yura was older and even if she wasn’t it felt safer to use. She appeared younger after all and she wasn’t ready to reveal what she was just yet. “Could you… mmm…” She wasn’t even the shy type or at least not usually but this was something embarrassing to request. “Would you kiss me?” She asked, the question forced past her lips as she forced her head up to meet the woman’s eye. She really did like her and perhaps a kiss could show what her words could not.
Yura was looking down at her lap, at her perfectly painted nails that she so badly wanted to chip. She normally took great care of her nails, of her appearance in general, but with alcohol in her system and her feeling nervous and fidgety from her words her nails seemed like the perfect target to vent out those feelings.
She wasn’t good with things like this, with feelings...with love. She didn’t do love, dating, she instead had one night stands and loads of fun. She treated every girl she slept with like royalty, even if she didn’t remember their names the next day, but while she treated them like princesses she wanted to treat Minx like a queen.
A small breath passed her lips when Minx called out to her, expecting to be told that she had been too much. She lifted her gaze though, accepting that as she knew she had been. She had broken her own rules, she hadn’t wanted to bring it up to the younger woman, but with her tongue loosened she found the words slipping out before she could stop them.
“I-” Minx just asked Yura to kiss her. Yura blinked a few times, her lips parting and then closing once more. If she was more aware of herself, more sober, she would have asked the younger woman if she was sure but instead Yura found herself running off of her own desires now that consent had been given in the form of a modest question.
Yura’s hands reached out for Minx’s face, cupping her cheeks before leaning in to press a kiss to her lips. The kiss was soft, warm, so very gentle. Despite the confusion, the hurt, the feelings Yura was so unused to there was one thing she still managed to hold above anything else. To treat Minx with care, to look after her, that the younger woman was precious.
Cozy days. Room Commission
xsleepwalkingx:
“If you’re sure you wouldn’t mind.” She wasn’t adverse to speaking like this if it would make the other male more comfortable because he knew some people really could be sticklers when it came to the honorifics of the language, it was just a lot more comfortable to speak a little more informally. It made her feel more like she was talking to a friend as opposed to somebody she worked for and an authority figure. “It would be a little easier talking like this.” And with that admittance she slipped back into mid formality with the older man.
Rather than keep continuing on the conversation the woman thought it best to head over to the counter so she could grab there drinks. It was good to stay hydrated and if she were honest her throat was painfully dry after the anxiety experienced. As soon as she returned she was sure they would be able to pick the conversation back up naturally and that’s exactly what she tried to do when she found herself back at the table.
“Here you go oppa.” Carefully placing the trey on the table she lifted each mug to put it in front where each of them sat. “I hope you like it since you went on my recommendation.”
It was truly alright with him and so he was offering Inhye a soft smile as the woman called him oppa upon her return. She wasn’t the only one to call him oppa, hyung or anything similar and while he didn’t easily use those more casual terms himself that didn’t mean that he didn’t like to hear them. He liked that someone felt able to talk to him more casually, as he was very much use to the opposite, casual interactions were rare for a Prince in any culture.
“I am sure that I will enjoy it, thank you for your recommendation” his hands reached out for the mug as he spoke, wrapping around it as his soft smile stayed on his lips “And, of course, thank you for buying it. If we are talking for long enough I will be sure to buy the next set of drinks”
Minho wouldn’t make her stay, for all that he knew they could be both ready to leave when they had finished their drinks, but if they found that they were enjoying one another’s company he wouldn’t be at all opposed to staying for another. He would leave that for her to decide however, she had dealt with enough pressure that night, and while he would never pressure her into staying he didn’t doubt there was a chance of him coming across that way no matter how innocent he might be.
“Do you often take walks like these?” He asked as he lifted the mug to his lips, blowing the steam away “You sounded as if they were a common occurrence for you”
ofpearlsxgods:
Jiyeon nodded. “I think I told you this before but Seojun was supposed to come with me to the musical and to the backstage. He got a call from work, though, when we were getting ready to go.” She felt disappointed at the time, after all, the two of them did not spend as much time together as they wanted and the tickets fell from Heaven like a blessing. Free backstage tickets, no less. When she got home from that night and told him about what she saw and what she met, Jiyeon clearly remembers the smile on her brother’s face. He was listening, even though she was rambling, and she felt that he was genuinely happy that she had fun even though he had to head to the other side of town. One could say all they want about Seojun but that he doesn’t love his baby sister is not one of them. “He promised we’re going on vacation this Summer but I learned to always be suspicious of his promises.” She preferred to keep her expectations low so when he says that they cannot go or that he cannot go with her, she won’t be as sad.
“Oppa, you can make ice cream out of everything. All you need is to want.” She laughed quietly, holding her hand by her lips while so. “This is the only place I know that sells kiwi ice cream and, since I’m feeling quite Ozzian today, I think it is only appropriated.” She was also weirded out with it but then she got a taste of what Heaven must taste like and changed her opinion. “I don’t think you’ll find cookie dough ice cream here, oppa. Daniel-ssi likes to boast about how his ice cream is made out of the most natural and selected ingredients so, if I were you, I’d think fruity and Nature. Once Eloise-ssi told us to think like a fairy.”
“You have done. It is a shame that he hadn’t been able to come but I’m glad that you had come despite that” He hadn’t thought they would end up at this point when they first met, having just popped by as a part of the tour for fans, but he couldn’t be happier with how things had turned out. It hadn’t been easy and it had been a long path but Hyunseong couldn’t remember a time he had ever felt more accepted than he did with Jiyeon. “I hope that you get to have your holiday together, where are you planning on going?”
Could they really make ice cream from Kiwi? He guessed it made sense, that she was right, but it just seemed like such an odd flavour to him. He wasn’t the most experimental though, especially with sweets, as most of the time it was sweets he was trying to avoid “I’ve never heard of it before, but it does sound positively ozzian” he agreed with a soft smile.
He performed the same show most days, practiced it everyday, many would expect him to grow sick of it but he instead found himself loving it more and more. With each performance he got a new perspective on parts of the show, every show was different as no two audiences were the same. For him it never got dull, it never lost its spark, and it was that what made it such a good show.
“Fruity and nature?” Hyunseong paused as he considered flavours that he might like that matched that description. It was such a niche concept but he guessed that it was the unique idea behind the shop that kept its doors open “Would raspberry be an option?” that sounded nice in his head.
inspirante-muses:
“I know.” Deep down she knew that Yura didn’t want to hurt but that was exactly what he had said too. He would make her feel like she was on the top of her world and then leave her falling with anyone to catch her. For months her heart had been toyed with and in the end left destroyed as she found herself forgotten and abandoned. “You’ve never made me feel pressured.” She quickly reassured her friend. Usually Minx was bright, bubbly and overly energetic but that didn’t mean there weren’t times where she couldn’t be mature and a good ear to listen if anybody ever needed to vent. She could be strong and wise, good at advice and offering words of reassurance. “You don’t need to be sorry. We all say things sometimes and… and it’s not like it was really bad or anything.” She added as her fingers gently caressed the stem of the wine glass in her hand. It was really touching to hear how Yura was patient, comforting even to have it confirmed there was no pressure at all but Minx had other worries too. “I’ve never been with a woman before. I mean…never even kissed one or anything. I’d probably bore you in the end. I wouldn’t be worth much wait.”
Yura was a little drunk, a little tipsy, and it was that which had made her lips loose enough to ask the question she always asked herself. How could she get Minx to like her? Would the younger woman ever like her back? She hoped, sometimes she felt that she saw hints that maybe she had a chance, but she also knew that she would keep on following and waiting even if nothing certain ever came. She always told herself that she was fine with just being Minx’s friend, just being near the other woman at all, but sometimes that was so hard. She wanted more and yet she knew it was selfish to want it, she should be more grateful for being able to be in Minx’s life at all.
“Minx-” she breathed out the woman’s name, her empty glass having been left before she had started speaking. She wanted to lean in closer to Minx but she stopped herself, instead offering her a small smile that seemed almost insecure on her face. Yura of all people being insecure, most would find that laughable. The quickly rising model and actress, known for her looks and strong personality, no one would ever expect to see her feeling as small as she did then “I’ve never wanted to wait for anyone before, I’ve never had...I’ve never felt-” she’s shook her head “There’s never been anyone like you, who you have and haven’t been with doesn’t mean a thing...I never knew someone could capture me like this”
She had said that she would stop and yet she couldn’t stop speaking, she had been holding it all back but it was spilling out now. She was going to hate herself in the morning.
xsleepwalkingx:
She was aware that they had only just met but she was sure it was obvious now that she was younger and it wasn’t common for a younger to be spoken to in the way in which he did. “I’m not used to being spoken to like that.” She explained, not that he had asked why she had been surprised on it. “Oh good! At least I was right when I called you oppa.” She was quick to switch to a more formal way of speaking since with his personality it seemed it would be something he would appreciate. “I didn’t really have time before to get a proper look at you so I just had to go with it.” She explained. It would have been pretty embarrassing should she have insulted him by assuming him older than his years. “It’s not rude.” It wasn’t rude to return a question to her anyway. “I just turned 22 a few months ago.” The author answered honestly. She couldn’t stop from smiling that her recommendation was enough to sway him, a natural reaction from anyone that their opinion seemed to matter. “Okay, I’ll be right back.” With her jacket having been placed on the back of her chair she rose to her feet and retrieved her purse from the pocket then headed off towards the counter.
“There is no need for you to speak in the same manner if you rather would not, I will not be offended” Not by a mortal, he would never hold them to the same standards as he held his people but he also treated them differently. He was more casual with mortals, by his standards at least which he had been taught were still very formal. He was in their world, despite being royalty he was a guest in mortal society and he kept that in mind.
“You were very right in calling me Oppa, you are welcome to keep on doing so” In the back of his mind he found the exchange funny, there was nothing else he could be after all...apart from maybe Ahjussi, but she was unaware of that “I just prefer using more formal language myself, you do not need to follow my lead”
He nodded, letting her go. He still didn’t like that she was paying but he wasn’t a man so proud of himself that he would never back down. Sometimes it was right to let things go, even if it wasn’t the preferred outcome, and this was one of those times. She wished to return a favour and while unnecessary it was admirable. With her gone he got comfortable in his seat, his posture perfect as always as he sniffed lightly at the air to gauge his surroundings. Everything seemed peaceful. Wonderful.
xsleepwalkingx:
“You know I have.” There was no point being coy about it. She liked all the artists she’d heard under his label and so she was almost always up to date with the latest music videos and releases from the company. With a nod of her head she once again confirmed her approval for the models aesthetic which she could certainly appreciate even if she wasn’t attracted to himself.
“I can’t disagree with you.” She really couldn’t. Jinah’s boss definitely had a good eye for the people he took on. “When you say he’s a good guy though it doesn’t sound like it’s totally believable followed by you wanting to punch him.” She teased her friend even if it did mean taking it a little out of context. “Guessing he’s just a bit much at times, right?”
“Hey, you might have missed this one!” She knew Nari kept up but she wouldn’t just assume that everything had been seen. The only reason Jinah kept up so well was because it was a large part of her job but she didn’t doubt how hectic all the different releases and comebacks could seem to an outsider.
Jinah let out a laugh, taking her phone back once the video was done and returning her hands to her coffee cup after putting the phone into her handbag “No, he really is a good guy, I guess our personalities just clash a little. I couldn’t handle his energy but that doesn’t make him bad. I’ve had a few fun conversations with him. He’s just a bit much, like you said, he takes a lot to keep up with”
How Mr Choi did it she had no idea but, then again, he had the patience of a saint.
[Yoojung to Avery, just to change things up a little] “I didn’t know where else to go.”
Avery smiled small, she didn’t think Yoojung would be at her doorstep but she let the girl inside. “it’s raining outside, you must be soaking” She said. “Let me get you a towel and some warm clothes to change into” Avery said. Her apartment was small and full of furniture in every corner. “Did something happen?” Avery asked carefully as she kept an eye on Yoojung.
“Alright, then you go shower and I go get you some clothes, okay? How about that?” Avery asked with a soft smile at the other. “I can order us some food too if you’re hungry?” Avery suggested. “Pizza or anything you want” She explained feeling like an older sister but she didn’t mind. She liked Yoojung. She felt protective over her.
“Okay, yeah...thanks” They were all good ideas. A warm shower, dry clothes, a chance for her to thaw out, but Avery’s apartment suddenly felt so unfamiliar as she stood there with legs ready to give out. She chewed at her lip, holding onto the towel that was wrapped around her, as she gave a small nod “Pizza’s fine...” she liked pizza “I’m pretty hungry”

“please take me far away from here, I wanna runaway“ sana said and buried her head under the pillow.
She looked at him and shook her head. “No…I just need a…..cup of tea or something” She said and practically ignored his words. She knew very well she needed to take a break. She had told Yunho the same thing over and over again but when it was about her it was like something blocked in her when someone told her she was working too hard. But when he mentioned runnig away she looked up at him. “Runaway?” She asked.
“Sana” he didn’t sound angry but he did sound stern, a frown pulling at his lips as she ignored his words. Yunho knew that he could be a hypocrite from time to time but he hadn’t seen Sana to be the type, ignoring the signs that she needed to rest when she also kept on going about how much rest he himself needed to get “A tea, a sit down and a nap” he agreed, letting her at least have the tea “We can talk about our little run away another time but for now you need a break, even if I need to pick you up and make you have one. You look like how I felt before I passed out”
The last thing he wanted was for that to happen to her, for her to reach that point. She was overworking herself and the strain was starting to show. Yunho needed to step in.
[Yura to Minx] “How can I get you to like me?”
❤ ▬▬ emotional starters to kick you in the feelings. @thenextleap
I already like you. They were four words and yet far too difficult for the young demon to say. It was a confession that she wasn’t quite ready to make when she was still confused over so much. Growing up she had always known deep down that she was also attracted to women but she held no experience with women beyond platonic affection that was natural for the country. That alone was enough to hold her back from being as honest as she usually was but there was also the fact her heart had been broken when she’d fallen for the wrong person just over a year ago. Her heart had been on the line and ended up trampled and that wasn’t a feeling she ever wanted to experience again but pulling away from her thoughts she realised that she hadn’t yet given the woman an answer.
“I’m scared.” The confession came out before her mind even had chance to properly think and form what she wanted to say. “I don’t want hurt again. I… I couldn’t take that.”
“I don’t want to hurt you” Yura breathed out in reply, she would never mean to hurt her but at the same time what could happen in the future? There was no knowing how badly she might mess up, even if she never wanted to, and the last thing she could ever do was judge Minx for being scared. It was scary, yes, Yura found that she was scared too. She was usually a flirt, someone who bounced around women with no strings attached. She hadn’t had feelings, didn’t do feelings, or at least she hadn’t done until Minx. That scared her but it also felt right, it was as if the only reason she hadn’t done feelings was because she had been waiting for Minx to show up to make those feelings grow inside of her.
“I don’t want to hurt you but...I also don’t want to pressure you” she let out a sad laugh, shaking her head as her gaze turned upwards and away from the woman in front of her “I shouldn’t have asked, I shouldn’t have said anything. I’m sorry” A small smile reached her lips next, though it looked just as sad as her laugh had sounded “I always told myself I’d wait for you and I meant that, even if nothing ever comes of it. I just want you to be happy”
