”How much can you change and get away with it, before you turn into someone else, before it’s some kind of murder?“ —— oh jaehun, "frigid", delta 2 / 21 bones / west 3 / mechanic

noticing his breezing over of the question, she let’s it drop and scoffs. ‘ why? am i make you uncomfortable? ’ skye questions, stepping forward with a cheeky grin on her lips. shrugging innocently, the girl seems to bat her lashes in a playful way. ‘ maybe i am. ’

[xmjaehun]

“ i don’t get uncomfortable. “ he retorts with a slight roll of his eyes, watching her for a brief moment before the slightest bit of asshole in him acts up, reaching out to curl his fingers into the fluffy towel and tug downward lightly, letting it fall where it may. “ do you? “

[xmjaehun]

@realityxm​;

“ you’re kidding right? it’s not broken is it? “ his eyes flick up to the blinking red on top of the doors, lips pressed into a thin line. unbelievable. 

[fbevangeline-deactivated2016102]

❝ excuse me? ❞ she questioned, her face passive in her surprise, but voice growing slightly edged. ❝ you’re obviously not one for first impressions, especially when this wasn’t on purpose. ❞

[xmjaehun]

“ it wasn’t like your first impression is painted as anything beyond a sightless dwarf with a clumsy tongue and two left feet, anyhow. “ he utters back with practiced ease, tone cool as the expression on his face. “ can you remove your foot now? it’s dirtying my shoe. “

[xmjaehun]

@xmjoohyun;

“ you have eyes right? god didn’t fuck up that badly when molding you right? you should use them more. “

[marxna-deactivated20160319]

‘ i don’t know what you’re talking about, i’m the most innocent person you could ever meet. ’ she replies just as teasingly. trailing behind him, she leans against the wall with a nod. ‘ yup. what’s on it? ’ she peeks at the necklace curiously, leaning forward but making sure not to drip her wet hair on his clothing.  

[xmjaehun]

“ i’m sure you are. “ his eyes roll playfully, long fingers curling around the metal, gaze moving to meet hers. “ nothing special. “  tone dismissive, cold eyes lower absently to the white towel wrapped tight around wicked curves. “ shouldn’t you get dressed before someone else walks in? you’re starting to seem more like the perverted one here. “

( FROSTY )

the mishap originated from something purely innocent. it started off merely just spending quality time with the only blood relation he adored, as simple as that. sehun fucked off from the very much forced chore of decorating the massive christmas tree in spite of the nagging instructor for his twin. but of course, even if it’s outdoor in the numbing cold and decorating yet another christmas tree, 

he won’t complain(, it’s jaehun’s tree so sehun has blinded himself that he’s okay with it). plus, he’s barely moving a muscle and that’s perfectly perfect for our ever so lazy oh sehun.

“it’s a shame everyone else is playing with that stupid tree inside and they can’t see yours.” it’s funny he knows, the way he dotes on his brother albeit the slim age difference (the age difference being a few short minutes). sehun muses in the bruising cold with his mutation happily providing warmth, warmth perhaps generating from the sight of his brother content. 

well, everything is perfectly perfect till hot liquid sloshes onto little jae, that’s when the havoc wreaks. 

[xmjaehun]

it was childish, perhaps. but maybe it was the spirit of christmas that infected him—pushed him to go to such lengths as to generate a tree, completely out of ice. but that’s the thing with christmas, when it came down to it the holiday was the most reminiscent for the younger twin. maybe because they had been used to alienation. to having to decorate their own tree because oh jaehun’s touch rendered too cold for anyone to near. too dangerous to the christmas cheer.

somehow, year by year, this had become tradition for them.

though you would think that at age twenty-one he’d be over it by now.

“i don’t think i want them to see.” he answers truthfully, brandishing an ice crystal with a wave of his fingers, nudging it toward bristles of frost and ice. “not that i’d care, either way -- i mean if you want, hyung, you can bring your little girlfriend by to see like last time.” truthfully, he hadn’t been able to help himself. but maybe that was a bad suggestion to begin with.

the hot chocolate that comes searing against bare skin proved enough retribution. 

hissing, he’s quick to step away, icing over reddened and blistering skin quickly. “hyung--” it comes out, despite himself, in a form of a barely subdued ( angered ) whine. “what the fuck.”

FINE CHINA—

[xmsooyeon-blog]

( * / if you asked sooyeon about her list of things that royally annoyed her in the world, then the fact that not only one but two mutant twins towered above her, to the point that she had to actually look up to speak to them, definitely topped that list. thus, the brunette did everything in her power to find even the tiniest flaws to use against the boys in ( futile ) efforts to somehow regain her dignity that became lost with her lack of height — and yes, the petty teasing and insulting came along with that package. ) “oh god — please tell me you’re kidding.” ( * / she scoffed, rolling her eyes at him for a more dramatic effect. ) “the wonders of teaching, let me tell you.” ( * / she murmured in a voice that was nothing but oozing with sarcasm. glancing up at him as he spoke, she raised her eyebrows for a brief moment before casually shrugging her shoulders. ) “as tempting as the idea of ditching work sounds, that would imply that there was something actually worth sneaking off to.. which there isn’t.”

[xmjaehun]

( * truly, it amused him to no other that the woman before him was such a hot-head. jung sooyeon is the kind of woman you don’t want to piss off -- even if she looked like anything but with her short stature and soft features. and this, jaehun assumes is a complex of hers — to be completely unthreatening with anything beyond her sharp tongue. genetics seems to have completely dealt her the wrong hand on that behalf. ) “you shouldn’t be too bitter. you’ll break their little holiday spirits.” ( * amused by her antics, he does little but watch the woman move on with her little act, head tilting to the side slightly as his gaze flicks away to the mess going on behind her for a brief moment. ) “i hear there’s a tree lightning ceremony in the city, should be loads better than this.” ( * he shrugs, lips curving very so slightly. ) “if you’re into it, teach. i can take us there.” ( * it’s not like he wants to spend time here either. )

[marxna-deactivated20160319]

the thought of someone else watching the female shower doesn’t bother her all that much, and she tilts her head in thought when hearing of his missing item. she let’s the soap begin to pool at her feet for a moment before speaking. ‘ mm, and here i was thinking you just wanted to snoop on innocent girls showering. ’ she teases, hand poking out of the curtain to grab her towel as she shut the knob off. ‘ dog tag.. you know i think i saw something left on the sink? ’ skye finally adds, pushing the fabric aside so she can step forward, towel secure around her. 

[xmjaehun]

thin lips pursed, he ignores the slightest twitch that surfaces with her tease, lifting long fingers to knead into a knot on his neck. “ can you really be considered innocent? ” the smallest of teases can easily be picked up within the lilt of his words, head turning at the sound of metal dragging against the bar. “ oh? “ absently, his gaze meets hers before lowering to bare shoulders and the pastel towel wrapped tight around her body. “ thanks. “ jaehun then moves, movements lax in his approach toward the sink, already spotting the glint of metal reflecting in the light. how did he even miss that?

[rinaxm-blog]

Her eyes narrowed as she watched him intently. Since coming to school here, he was the first person other than the teachers that she had spoken to. However, if this little Christmas gathering hadn’t even been going on, she was pretty sure that they probably wouldn’t have had an interaction at all. “Oh, uh— Sure.” She responded, dipping her head in gratitude. “Thank you… The assistance is appreciated.”

[xmjaehun]

“i’m sure it is.” tone tinged with an air of dismissiveness, he gestures the blonde for the small container of ornaments in her hand, head tilting to the side slightly once she hands it over. “just tell me where you want to put it.” his words rang clear, at least, not one to inject pleasantries ( not that he actually knew how to in the first place ) into his words. not even for the holidays. much less the fairest of skin and prettiest of eyes. “here?” jaehun gestures idly at a bare section of the tree, absently wondering how in the world anyone is going to reach the top sections of it. but surely that wasn’t his problem.

[sgninna]

( of habits. )

   ( * chaos always tucks itself away in false insecurities of peace, rearing its head when she seeks for a moment of relaxation. she is lulled by the scent of cinnamon wafting through the air, misguided into the belief that heaviness trudging on eyelids can be given into safely for a whole five seconds. yet reality never slows and bodies don’t freeze even when mind is on pause. uncareful shove of force by bustling stranger has her stumbling steps back. alarm slams through half consciousness as hands scramble to catch on anything before ass meets hard ground. she supposes it’s irony that fingers catch on firm tush to save her own. perhaps some could even call it fate that it’s his of all people. )  

[xmjaehun]

( * despite being mutant of nature, things had always been mundane since he arrived at the school. such was expected, jaehun supposes, the point of the school was to keep things under control. or was it the fact that he simply was already too used to the sort of restrained chaos that was the school. the occasional rumble of the floors does nothing to phase him, much less the roar of a beast two doors down from his room. long story short, oh jaehun was bored. ) — ( * and so the sudden hand on his rear has him pausing for a flicker of a second, head turning to regard the owner of the hand in question — the big eyes and pretty lips of son naeun. amazing. ) what are you doing, son?

[marxna-deactivated20160319]

‘ does anyone? ’ skye retorts with a cocked brow. she grabs the shampoo from the other, clicking her tongue. ‘ thanks. any reason you’re standing around in the showers? waiting for a calling? ’ she questions as she delves back behind the curtain to finish her hair care routine.

[xmjaehun]

“ i do. “ jaehun replies simply, flexing his fingers absently and taking a step back to watch the silhouette behind the shower curtains with a quiet hum. “ i left something here somewhere so i’m looking for it.” he gives pause then, shifting to lean against the porcelain wall. “ do you see a chain with a dog tag attached to it in there somewhere? ”

WINTER SONG—

[xmjinri]

winter in jeju is rarely a wonderland washed in white.  more often, it is a collection of gales nipping at cheeks and rubbing them red, rather than a feast for the eyes and a chilling pinch of the nostrils; so naturally, when the landscape of jeju colours itself the exact opposite of sorry pitch, jinri is more than happy to explore its depths, recording them with earnest enjoyment in the square pages of her journal.

“today,” she murmurs, scribbling and walking along in the snow, “jeju is an island sleeping.  it is wrapped up in white blankets.  from inside, it looks awfully warm, but outside now, i am cold. i like it very much, and regret not bringing my camera with me today.  worry not, dear journal!  i will plaster you with pictures of a rare and gorgeous jeju white winter.  we have too few of these for me not to. i will also make sure to call harabong tonight and see him tomorrow, to see if the cold is treating him well.  the coat of youth is not avai–” her pen jerks, slipping off the page, she squawks, and her feet trip right over a particularly hard snowdrift that had hardened to ice.  embarassment stains her cheeks a bright sanguine, and she jerks her head to and fro, trying to comfort herself with the idea of solitude, that no one had seen –

– but such is made impossible by a certain oh jaehun.  she feels the tips of her ears and fingers burn for the sake of disappearing into the air, and scrambles to pick up her utensils while offering a supposedly casual, “hey.”

materials gathered, she tries to dig her vanished fingernails into her palms whilst cooly (at least she hoped it came off as such) asking, “whatcha doing out here?”

[xmjaehun]

you don’t need eyes to tell that he’s not a socializer. jaehun’s body language had always been stiff, broad shoulders pulled back and spine straight, most people knew better to stray away. yet some, some, jaehun supposed likely resembled choi jinri, smiles and laughter and clumsy all neatly wrapped in a pretty package he could care less for. but it doesn’t help that she’s everywhere. that they live within the same dorm and two doors down no less. it doesn’t help that she’s friendly, that she tries to extend herself to start any pointless conversation for the sake of it.

it does help that she’s pretty, though.

annoying, but pretty.

nevertheless, he doesn’t miss the squawk that slips through the racket within the building, attentive eyes flicking over in time to watch a certain choi pick herself up from the floor, lips twitching slightly in amusement. as expected, she’s as clumsy as ever. although he almost regretted it, given the fact that she was already heading toward him.

that, was anything but a sign to approach.

“hey.” jaehun retorts idly, dragging blunt nails over the fabric of dark jeans as he eyes her, slightest bit of amusement surfacing. “not falling.” the tone teeters between teasing and jeering, hand lifting to card through soft blonde locks as he leans back further, humming.

“you know if you don’t have the right shoes to walk on ice then you shouldn’t be out at all. much less roaming around narrating your journal. it’s common sense, really.” his eyes cut at her, sharp and piercing. and this is how you know jaehun isn’t the best at offering friendly advice. or well, friendly anything.

“you should go inside before you hurt yourself is what i’m saying.”

[xmjaehun]

FINE CHINA—

[xmsooyeon-blog]

( * / maybe because she wasn’t exactly the most festive of people when it came to the holidays, but waking up in the morning to the sound of obnoxious christmas music flooding the halls wasn’t, contrary to popular belief, her ideal way of starting her schedule for the day. so with a groan at the remembrance of responsibility looming over her shoulders, she mustered up her remaining willpower — after the third repetition of let it snow drained it down, of course — to force herself up and out of bed to actually do her job. though, that came easier said than done as she wasn’t expecting to deal with the annoying student body right as she stepped out of the door. ) “i wish — what ‘bout you? are you already bitter?”

[xmjaehun]

( * the core-elemental professor was hot. jaehun wouldn’t deny it. although he was in no way a boy that would drool over a woman ( openly, at least ) or show any sort of signs, it wasn’t as if he was blind. as if he was into the game of denial. still, professors were professors and jaehun knew a tiny bit better on that front. ) “what’s there to be bitter about? the weather’s great.” ( * retorts in dry amusement, grip slipping from her slim arm before dropping his own to his side, shifting his weight from one foot to another absently. ) “but then again i’m not the one who has to supervise, huh teach?” ( * though barely there, the tease is at least evident to those who are a little sharper than others. and having seen and attended jung sooyeon’s core elemental classes, he knows fully well just how sharp this woman could be. ) “i won’t tell if you sneak off.”

[marxna-deactivated20160319]

‘ see you could continue to talk about that, or you could hand me the shampoo. regardless, i just want to wash my hair. ’ she sends a grin, hand outstretched toward the soap currently too far for her to reach. ‘ pretty please? time is ticking and this water is getting much to cold for my comfort. ’

[xmjaehun]

“ it’s too bad you don’t like your showers cold then. ” he offers little but an amused quirk of his lips, reaching out to curl his fingers around the bottle, plucking it off the stand to offer over to her, mindful of the steam emitting from the waters. “ here. “ 

[rinaxm-blog]

Most would have probably been offended at the way he spoke to them– but not Rina. Despite his attempt at sounding kind, he clearly wasn’t doing a very good job at it. Rina, however, was so used to being spoken to in this manner that it didn’t phase her even in the slightest. Staring blankly at the ornament in her hand, then back over to him, she nodded as she surrendered it over. “Here.”

[xmjaehun]

long fingers coiling around the ornament, he wastes no time to raise his arms and hook the holiday trinket onto the tree, brushing his fingers over the surface to add an absent layer of frost to achieve a more “white christmas” feel to it. “is that all?” turning, he regards her absently, head tilted as observant eyes flicker over blonde hair and big eyes; the makings of a standard pretty girl, he supposes. “i can help you with the rest if that’s all it takes to keep you from being a walking hazard.”
