"like a p h o e n i x from the ashes ... they may defeat you, burn you, insult you, injure you, and abandon you ... but they will not, shall not, and cannot destroy you, for you, like rome, were built on ashes. and you, like a phoenix, know how to resurrect."
he immediately recognized the voice, and he recognized it well, however he could not place it at all. Maybe it was the unexpected attire that threw him off as he could not think of anyone he knew who was also a cop. He laughed softly as the other revealed his face “lucky me! so generous of you officer” he smiled widely. “that great! Maybe you can even help me out here. You see, I have this beer” he took out an unopened can and looked at it rather troubled “and I have nobody to drink it, think you can be of assistans officer?” he smiled widely once again. “my night is pretty great, luring in the shadows unnoticed. It’s a pretty cool feeling, unusual. I mean being able to without covering up, though I am wearing a mask but so is everyone else”
——— 「 ☪ 」 his strides are l o n g, carrying him to the other’s side in no time. the detective’s hands move to his thighs, slender fingers taking hold of his slacks to hike them up a smidgen before he plants himself beside jaehwan. a grin slithers onto plump tiers as a hand is raised, waving quickly to dismiss the alcohol. as much as he might enjoy getting to relax with male, he couldn’t risk it. not on a night such as this, anyway. ❝ no, jaehwan, you can be the one to drink it for me. or you can save it for another ... ❞ his voice trails off as wonjae glances down at the watch adoring his wrist, ❝ two hours and i can really join you then. whichever you prefer. ❞ starlit hues have shifted, moving over to their surroundings. he nods, it’s something he has little difficulty understanding --- being in the limelight isn’t easy ( which is why he has so much respect for most of those who do it, so long as they don’t take advantage of the perks ). ❝ i’m really glad to hear you’re having fun, kid. truthfully, i hope it only gets better for you ! ❞
It felt refreshing - being able to walk around in the open like he was nobody or rather anybody. He sat on a bench, sipping on a beer, watching people who had gathered by the bonfire. Delighted by the fact that nobody paid attention to him. He was, as usual, wearing a disguise but this was different cause tonight so was everyone else. All kinds of costumes and characters could be found there. A zombie was sitting on the bench closest to his, talking to a jigglypuff. He smiled as he took another sip of his beer and let out a small chuckle as he found himself almost feeling a bit lonely. “Hey” he called out to a stranger just passing him where he sat on the bench in his batman costume. “Care to join me?”
——— 「 ☪ 」 dressing up has never been something he cared for, however he knew he’d have to make an exception one day ( today was that day ). to make patrolling easier, the detective had decided to blend in, which also meant ‘ sticking ’ out. he’s sporting his uniform, complete with the hat and shiny shoes, which may explain why he went unrecognized; even by someone close. the familiar voice earns a grin in response---at least he knows his plan is working---and he replies, ❝ sorry, bat-dude; i’m workin’. ❞ wonjae finally lifts his head to reveal his face he’s kept hidden under the brim of his hat, ❝ and you’re lucky i don’t make you work, too. ❞ he’s kidding, of course. his artist ( especially his favorite one ) deserves a break, there’s no way he’d ever take that away. ❝ anyway, i can spare a couple minutes if you don’t mind the company. how’s your night goin’ so far ? ❞
——— 「 ☪ 」 an eyebrow is raised before a shrug can roll from his broad shoulders. ❝ i suppose i can see where you’re coming from, but i don’t think it’s that serious. plus, it’s one of those things that you can never really prepare for. ❞ coffee hues fall from the male before him, eventually making themselves at home on their surroundings. ❝ no use is letting it get to you until you have all the information; when it happens, deal with it as it comes. otherwise, just do what you can and hope for the best. ❞ plump lips c u r l into—what can be described as—an almost smile. ❝ i have faith in you, though. ❞ wonjae swallows his remaining words, i guess.
⊰ ❀ ⊱ — jaeun has been dozing off standing at the bus spot for god knows how long, suitcase between legs and backpack resting on top with the girl leaning forward, head on top. eyes were closed as arms tighten themselves around her luggage because even in her sleep - filled haze she’s on high alert of her surroundings. normally, jaeun would not be dozing off like this, or be this exhausted really but she’s had a long week prior and is now just returning from a rural side of south korea where her mother resided. they had been doing a memorial for her late brother for a week, even went up to the temples and prayed. all of that has left the poor girl completely exhausted—- mentally and physically; hence the reasoning of her cat nap at the bus stop. it wasn’t until she felt her suit case being knocked over jaeun jolted wide awake, head snapping up and looking around. body the first to really respond as the woman stands, quickly picking up her items. ❛ i’m sorry … i shouldn’t have been in the way.. ❜ jaeun murmurs as she glances up, ❛ are you okay? ❜
——— 「 ☪ 」 his gait is l o n g, steps wider than usual due to the urgency coursing through his bones. there’s a message displayed on the screen of his mobile, eyes downcast to ghost over the words in hopes of quickening his pace. unfortunately, wonjae’s job isn’t the easiest in the world --- especially because it’s impossible to help everyone, but he takes pride in those he ( positively ) affects. sometimes, however, things don’t always stay golden and the fight doesn’t end simply because you think they have. there’s a low growl emanating from the detective’s throat just before he’s pulled back to reality, thanks to ... is that luggage ? he’s unable to confirm or deny his suspicions, the sound of a woman’s voice pulling his gaze elsewhere. he offers a deep bow as hurried apologies spill from dried lips, it’s not how he’d normally react, but there were more pressing matters he needs to attend to. ❝ please, don’t apologize. it’s my fault, i was the one who wasn’t looking where i was going. you’re okay, though, right ? ❞ wonjae glances down to the watch adorning his wrist, he’s running out of time, ❝ i’ve actually gotta run, but please let me repay you for the trouble by getting you some coffee later on or something ? ❞ slender fingers begin to fish through his pockets, his wallet revealed from his coat and he arms himself with a business card. ❝ here, ❞ his arm extends, ❝ just text that number and let me know when you’re free and we can get together or whatever. ❞

If you were president, what is the first thing you would do?
“ if you were looking for something profound, you came to the wrong one. truthfully, i’d probably see what kind of free shit i could get or test the limits of the power that’s usually given. i mean, just think of all the stuff i could get away with if i were president ! ”
“ that depends on your definition of cheating. is it cheating if you’re not an actual couple with someone, but you’re in the ‘talking’ stages of a relationship ? or do you only consider it cheating when you’re in a relationship ? either way, i completely disapprove of the latter. if you’re actually with another person, then you absolutely should never do anything with someone who isn’t the one you’re with. if you have the desire to, then break it off with your significant other before moving forward with acting on said desire. problem solved. ”
“ even though love is stupid and gross, i do think true love exists. now, does everyone get to experience it ? i also think that’s a thing. of course, i don’t necessarily believe that we all experience true love in a romantic way, some of us are lucky enough to experience it in a platonic sense, too, but … anyway, there’s that. ”
