OPEN STARTER // TW: blood, mental unstability, violence.

alone, in her home- binding herself to a near pitch-black bedroom, nara’s mind and her curse was in action. she didn’t fear the darkness surrounding her, but the darkness in her own heart, feeding off her consciousness. that would explain why she was cowling into the corner as if her mind wasn’t the culprit.  where else can she run though?… when her enemy is herself? 

this wasn’t like any other mind facing a mental demon either, this was something far beyond it. the power her conscious had was foul, and didn’t care for boundaries- even now, it manifested an infant boy; knowing that she’d come crawling toward it, her arms outstretched, crying. ignoring the voice cutting into her.

‘i have to admit, i’m not buying it, nara. you didn’t love, taejo.’ 

 she didn’t even think to respond, her mind was set on wrapping her arms around her baby.. taejo. but, as she expected, the moment her fingertips grazed his the child morphed into herself like she was looking in a mirror-.. except this one had black eyes and livid dark intent. the look-alike walked toward nara, a sinister smile on her lips, taunting her. the skinwalker recoiled, dragging herself back into the corner. 

‘your weeping does not impress me.. a killers tears, does not impress me’ 

nara this time had something to say, covering her face with one arm and holding up a sword with her other, using that to block the double from coming closer. “be quiet-.. be QUIET.” hearing the other continue to speak, nara repeated herself over and over, swinging her sword until she was chasing ‘herself’ around the house. her mind was literally, taunting her- so much that she didn’t even care that she destroying her home, she wanted her.. it, whatever it was, dead. 

eventually, nara was lured out of her home, looking for her enemy. hearing steps around the corner, maybe a voice, her paranoia sprung into action; and before she knew it, she’d pinned a random person, and her sword was pointed right at their neck. blind to the fact, they weren’t her. 

wiping the blood coming from her nose, she sniffled. “does this impress you, hmm? i can kill you right now. i can- i will do it.” 

Minsik couldn’t say he saw the appeal of coming back to Korea most days. Aching body, throbbing feet, and barely coherent words - check, check, and check. As a new fellow in the trauma department, Minsik was seen as the one who did not fit in, an anomaly in the carefully crafted culture of the healthcare unit. Minsik felt like an invader in the place he was supposed to call ‘home’, and now he felt like an invader at work too. Signing off dutifully at the end of his proglonged shift each day was something he sadly looked forward to now, the once burning passion now flickering with the last of its embers. 

Dragging his feet out of the prestigious hospital, Minsik already began to dread the beginnings of his freedom. After all, it would lead into a repetition of an endless cycle that he despised. Deciding that there was no point being such a little downer, the doctor trudged into the first convenience store he came across to pick up endless supplies of candies, jellies, and snacks. Sweet things cheered him up, and the prospect of lying on his twin’s luxurious couch while gorging himself on them would be a small win, at least. 

He’d been a couple blocks away from their apartment building at most, when an unexpected force jerked him backwards, the edge of a knife pointed precariously against his jugular. Minsik’s first reaction had been to freeze, to formulate a way out of this - he didn’t want to die, couldn’t afford to die. Not right now, anyway. Through the dark, he barely saw his assailant’s face, but he heard the agony in the restraint of her voice, smelled the hint of iron before he felt the warm drop of fluid on his skin. 

Minsik’s anxiety cooled immediately, the logical part of his brain kicking in as the doctor surfaced and took the reins. “I know you can,” Minsik reasoned in a levelled voice, keeping eye contact with the other. He raised his hands - a show that he was unarmed and did not intend to bring harm upon the other or anyone in their vicinity. “Good evening. I noticed that you’re bleeding from your nose. Is it alright if I took a look at it? Nosebleeds may suggest an internal injury and I just wanted to ensure that everything is fine. I am a doctor, by the way. My staff badge is in the left breastpocket of my shirt.”

⛲️: what's your ideal dream date?

“First, we’d wear matching outfits, then we’ll hang out all day at the animal cafe - bonus points if it’s the owl cafe because I’ve been wanting to go there for a loooong time now. Then maybe we’d hold hands and take a stroll, and eat street snacks for dinner. And then maybe a smooch on the cheek good night before we part ways?”

🏗: what's your preferred method of dealing with stress?

“So there’s this one animal cafe downtown that I love visiting. Being able to spend time with the little critters make me happy and forget any worries that I have. If you’re interested, I can send you the address and if you’re too shy to go alone, I’d be happy to accompany you!” 🌈: what are your thoughts on 'love'?

“I think love is a beautiful thing! But also dangerous. I haven’t exactly experienced romantic love myself, so I can’t exactly speak to that, BUT nothing is greater than familial love, in my opinion. It’s hard to put in words, but I hope everyone gets to experience that at least once - family doesn’t have to be blood related family, you know? People who respect and accept you for who you are can become your family too.”

“I’m going to protect you.”

His eyes were swollen with tears, chubby little cheeks flushed from how much the young Yi had been crying. Minsik hid his hands behind him, a feeling of shame washing over him as the welts stung as he flexed his fingers. The verbal humiliation rang in his ears as he failed to complete yet another task assigned to him by their tutors despite how much he had tried. 

“I’m sorry,” Minsik warbled, voice wet with tears as he remained huddled under the blankets, too ashamed to face his twin who was sent to check in on him. “I’ll do better tomorrow, I promise. I’m sorry I let them hit me, it must really hurt, right?” Despite his apologies, Minsik knew, deep in his heart that tomorrow would only yield the same results. He lacked talent and lacked the tenacity that seemed so prevalent in their family. But Minsik had no rights to complain, when his twin was flourishing so well under the tutelage, and here he was, perhaps in a slightly better position than a squib. 

Minji shouldn’t have to protect him. As an Yi himself, great things had been expected of the twins. Yet Minsik failed, again and again, to prove himself worthy, cast aside with disappointment by the people who should have offered him care and nurture. As two individuals, him and Minji were supposed to have each other’s back, to support each other through it all. Yet he was left in the dust while Minji improved by leaps and bounds, his fantasy a mere pipe dream. 

Minsik understood that he and Minji, despite their connectedness and status, would never stand on the same level. He would always be some kind of liability.

Guilt overwhelmed the teen as another wave of tears swelled in his eyes as he sniffled and wiped them away. The back of his eyes were beginning to hurt from how much he was crying, and he was sure Minji felt it too. More guilt. “I’m sorry for being such a burden,” he mumbled, curling into a pathetic little ball.

Minji was frustrated. She had been trying to get their father to make time to have a formal meeting with her but all he could give her were excuses as to why he didn’t have the time. It wasn’t helping her situation at all. He was barely around to keep the calm between the members of the coven and she felt like all eyes were on her because of her title, name and role for The Aegis. Although Vic had explained to her some things that had happened while her and Minsik were in Chicago she still felt lost. She had no guidance and it even felt like her own gang didn’t want her there. She couldn’t help it. She was shoved into this life. She didn’t want it. But at the same time, she couldn’t say no to her father. 

But they day came to an end and it was time to unwind back in the comfort of her penthouse. There were still some furniture that she was waiting for to arrive so she could finish decorating but as she scanned her key to the front door she looked up and saw a fort that was magical and warm to see. It reminded her of her childhood when her and Minsik would do a spell together to magically build a fort in their shared room. And this gave the same feeling. Her eyes glistened with tears that teased to fall and quickly took in a deep breath as she kicked her heels off by the door and hung her bag on the coat rack, walking over to it. 

“Sik?” She called out, admiring the twinkling lights that framed the blanket that made the tent like structure. 

At the sound of his name, the young doctor poked his head out of the warm fort that he had gone ahead to construct. “Jiji!” Minsik smiled, dimples deep and eyes crinkling into small crescents at the sight of the other. When others would discuss the idea of connectedness between twins, the Yi twins were on a different tier altogether. When he had felt an ugly churn deep within his chest earlier that day, it didn’t take more than a single braincell to put together what was going on - someone had most likely upset Minji, and in a vexing manner, no less. With them having just returned to their homeland, Minsik, who had found absolutely no motivation for exploration cooped himself at their shared penthouse seeing as he was not due for work until the following week. So he made himself useful, and began operation: cuddlebug, just as he used to do when him and Minji was younger.

“I’ve been waiting for you to come home,” he quickly pulled open one of the flaps that draped over the entrance. Two steaming mugs of hot chocolate awaited them, as well as a well-cushioned bedding consisting of multitude of soft comforters and an avalanche of pillows. The twinkling lights glowed with warm light, inviting and relaxing with the wizard already (or rather, still) in his teddy bear-printed pyjamas. “Wanna snug? We can talk about things later. Maybe over a movie or something. How does Inside Out sound?”

🗽: who's your role model? or what qualities do you think are looking-up-to worthy?

“OOH great question, I’m glad you asked! I look up to my older brother Victor the most, followed by my twin, Minji. Like...you see, they’re amazing human beings if you haven’t met them, and if you have I’m sure you’d totally agree with me. As for qualities, I think people who are righteous, morally sound, and kind-hearted are most admirable. In times such as these, to be able to stick to their beliefs and ideals is a difficult thing to do.”

[maneosik]

“You always smile like you’re about to cry.”

“I have a right to be angry!”

“You hear my heart beat? Just focus on that.”

“I’m going to protect you.”

“Give it back.”

“Shh. Stop fussing. I’m just braiding your hair.”

“How about a kiss?”

“Here. Let’s share the blanket.”

“No- just. I really like you in my clothes.”

“Wait. Don’t pull away…not yet.”

“I’m supposed to hate you for what you did.”

“Maybe we should work on the fact that you go in fists flying when things don’t go your way.”

“Don’t look at me like that, like you’re afraid of me.”

“I thought we were friends!”

“Lie to me then.”

“There’s no time to run.”

“It’s fine. I can wait.”

“I hate you!”

“Don’t let me go.”

“Bite me!”

“You’d be a great mom.”

“You’re one hell of a guy.”

“Why are you naked?!”

“You have…superpowers?”

“Put me down!”

“There’s only one bed…”

“First one to make a noise loses.”

“Did you just…agree with me?”

“You’re insane!”

“I know. Isn’t it great?”

“Why is he bleeding?”

“Want to see what kind of trouble we can get into?”

“Do you sleep anymore?”

“It’s just a papercut.”

“You’re not as evil as people think you are.”

“I don’t give a damn.”

“It’s a long story.”

You’re a part of the family, didn’t you know?“

“Woah! Slow down, what’s going on?”

“This is a one time thing.”

“You smell nice.”

“Did you just lick me?”

“Stop telling me you’re okay!”

“What a pretty sight.”

“Take off your clothes.”

“Car sex looks way easier in the movies.”

“Where are your clothes!”

“When did we get a cat?”

“He did what?!”

“You look pretty today. I like you in blue.”

“Stop calling me that! That’s not my name.”

“Are you flirting…with me?”

“Oh! That’s not my leg!”

“I like your voice.”

“You’re still here and making- pancakes?”

“No, I said we were safer. Not safe.”

“If we get arrested it’s your fault.”

“Do you ever think we should stop doing this?”

“Are you scared?”

“Promise me you won’t take it off.”

“They’re afraid of me.”

“Don’t lie to me!”

“I lost a bet.”

“I don’t regret anything.”

“You’ll break his heart if you do this.”

“What’s in your hair?”

“You don’t want to know, trust me.”

“Are you always an ass, or am I just special?”

“Did you hear something?”

“I can’t stop shaking.”

“You got about as much charm as a dead slug.”

“Oh! This one’s pretty.”

“Shut up and get over here.”

“You’ve got to believe me!”

“Take a picture, it’ll last longer.”

“What’s up with your dad?”

“Please. Don’t stop.”

“Take my hand.”

“Don’t bleed on my floor.”

“Would you please put your tongue away.”

“Deep breath now.”

“Is that a lighter in your pants or you just happy to see me?”

“Why can’t you love me?”

“I like your face.”

“God, I could kiss you right now. Wait- uh…”

“That’s not what I meant!”

“Who are you?”

“How did I get here?”

“That’s disgusting. You’re lucky you’re cute.”

“Five minutes! And that’s it!”

“Eyes up here, amigo.”

“You like me?”

“I don’t like the dark.”

“What is that?”

“Are you smiling or is that a grimace? I can’t tell the difference.”

“We’re not going to die.”

“You wrote me a poem?”

“Stop staring! It’s rude.”

“Bend over.”

“Kiss me, asshole.”
