— STARTER FOR @JVNGYUNO​

         LIPS PURSE AS HE GATHERS THE COURAGE (or rather, pushes down his pride) to travel down the hall, towards the younger idol that he has grown closer to in the prior months. one would think that, given said closeness, he would be able to shed the awkwardness that comes as he approaches, but with the question that lingers heavily upon the tip of his tongue, fingers curl into the fabric of his pockets as he nears.

“ah, jaehyun-ah,” his features only soften as he speaks, sheepish laughter soon tumbling over his lips as he comes to stop beside him, using the company vending machine that the other seems to be peering into as an ice breaker of sorts. “you’ve been well, right?” his wallet is pulled from his sweats, retrieving a couple of bills and offering one towards the other. “it’s been awhile; kinda feels like we were in america for years.” it’s awkward run-on of questions and musings, still not having gotten to his point. soon, though. he’ll get to it soon.

— STARTER FOR @SNGYEONZ

          TEETH CLAMP DOWN ONTO THE STRAW of his iced coffee, the heavy taste of americano lingering upon his taste buds as legs carry him to the end of the queue once again, fingers already delving into his pocket to retrieve his wallet. the shop is relatively busy for a monday, though considering its proximity to the mbc building, it comes as no surprise that more and more patrons are beginning to flow in as the time nears noon. there are already people coming to stand in line behind him, filing into the empty seats, and— oh. his pocket is empty.

not bothering to fret just yet, his hand travels to his other pockets, and then to his jacket. his wallet, almost unsurprisingly, isn’t there either, and he releases his straw to exhale out in brief annoyance. there’s a polite murmur to the person behind him as he steps out of the line, makes his way back over to his previous table. as he approaches, there’s a girl that somehow strikes him as familiar, with no wallet to be found. “uh,” the syllable sheepishly leaves his lips, bowing subtly in greeting. “i sat here just a minute ago, and um,” a raised eyebrow, “you haven’t seen a wallet have you? leather, black?” he highly doubts that she would steal.

“Lets run! Don’t fight them!”

“Hey, hey! We’re busy here!”

“Wait! You can’t come up here!”

“I don’t care if you’re a monster.”

“I just organized things. Nothing’s ruined.”

“I feel terrible, like there’s a weight on my chest.”

“It’s so strange. I’ve never felt so peaceful, before.”

“That is ancient sorcery… and quite powerful, too.”

– I’m not sure what I strike many people as if I am honest…I am quite complex – my bigger vice is leaving little messes/trails ㅋㅋㅋ  – But sunbae, guess what!!! – I have your wallet right here! Or I think it’s yours at least…it should be since no one else is in this practice room

      [ LINE MSG  //   슬기 ] - everyone is, right? i probably shouldn’t make assumptions...  ㅋㅋ -  wah, you’re seriously the best. i was kind of worried i’d left it at the pool hall instead. ^^; - i guess i’ll have to head back then... i owe you one!

@93ybm​:

( ♕ ) THE AWKWARD MOMENT WHEN SOMEONE YOU AREN’T that close to send you a message, as It definitely comes as a surprise to her seeing a message from him. An eyebrow raise in question when his name pops up on her phone screen, but it quickly changes into laughters once she reads his text. Bomi loves games ( not as much as Hayoung does though, that one is a game addict ), so for once she actually finds it easier to talk to her sunbae.

( LINE SMS - 태민선배님 )  ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ ( LINE SMS - 태민선배님 ) I would never have thought you also play tsum tsum ㅋㅋㅋ ( LINE SMS - 태민선배님 ) Please tell me you play pokemon go too.  ( LINE SMS - 태민선배님 ) I’ll send you a heart right now but this means you owe me a meal ㅋㅋ

        HE HAD INDEED WONDERED IF it would be awkward to message the same-aged idol so spontaneously, though as teeth draw his lower lip into their grasp, eyes flickering across the screen out of hope for a quick reply, he finds that his desperation to continue to play outweighs his shame in texting her like this. there’s subtle impatience as he takes notice that she has begun to write her response, a smile budding at the corners of his lips as the chat bubbles fill the once empty screen.

        [ LINE MSG  //  보미 ] - really? ah, tsum tsum is life!!  -  ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ - pokemon go... outside of practice, that’s how i get most of my exercise.  ㅎㅎ - a meal?? for a heart?? i thought a heart alliance would be enough!!

“this isn’t what i wanted.”

( meme ): accepting!

          THERE IS NO SHAME TO BE FOUND as the younger idol stares down at his phone, the image upon the screen not exactly what he had asked for. he is aware that the purpose of handing him his phone was to capture the image of the other man standing in front of the river (likely to be posted to sns), but instead, jaebum has been presented with a photo (or three) of taemin’s face— a practical joke, despite how lame it may seem. his laughter towards the other’s response is thinly veiled, with only the hand that comes to cover his mouth muffling the amused sound.

“but you asked me to take a photo, right? it’s not like you told me what to take a photo of.” an explanation follows as his hand falls away, returning to the pocket of his sweatpants as he rocks backwards onto his heels, eyes crinkling at the corners with the smile that remains upon his lips. he isn’t so sure that jaebum will find as much hilarity in the act as he does, but it’s harmless enough. “although, i was wondering why you had to walk so far away for me to take a selfie. you weren’t just intimidated by my selca skills?” 

as if to make up for, though, he moves forward with a hand extended to take the device once more. “here,” he clears his throat, more serious now— “i’ll do it right this time.”

“why didn’t you tell me?”

( meme ): accepting!

          FINGERS CLASP AND UNCLASP as he remains beneath the woman’s gaze, unable to quite meet those steely eyes as she questions his decision to not tell her about his conflicting plans. if he’s honest, it really hadn’t been intentional— at least, not really. he’d forgotten about the night out he had promised to his closest of friends weeks ago, and although it’s not unlike him to sometimes play favorites, this certainly hadn’t been one of those times. he feels bad, too, and not just for the sake of escaping her annoyance. he actually had taken interest in that store she had demanded he visit, but now— now, he can’t just go back on his prior promise. 

“because— i really didn’t know?” the response is left to stagnate in the air between them, an awkward beat of silence ensuing before he finally gather the courage to look up, to peek towards her features. perhaps it’s foolish to act so cowardly over such a mundane matter, but she is certainly scary when she’s unhappy. in her position, taemin is (selfishly) sure that he would be disappointed, too. “it just sort of slipped my mind. i don’t really write these things down, so,” a tentative smile buds at the corners of his lips, blossoming into something hopeful as he seeks her forgiveness. “i really am sorry. you can show that store another time, right?” 

will there be another time? it’s not as if they’re particularly close, but he can certainly wish for a second chance.

how can someone capture your heart ?

          HIS HEAD TILTS IN RESPONSE to the inquiry, though his amusement doesn’t fail to show as it twitches at the corners of his lips, at the tip of his nose. there’s a shake of his head that soon ensues, uneven fringe stirring upon his forehead as he does so. 

“seriously, ah— don’t you know that i never know how to respond to questions like these?” the words fall teasingly from his lips, though true to his statement, it’s really just a means to stall as he comes up with a proper answer. a single shoulder lifts into a shrug, almost hesitant as he replies— “it doesn’t take as much to capture my heart as it does to keep it, but it’d be too easy to tell you how to do that, right?” a grin brightens his features, though his coyness shines through. “besides, it’s shinee world that already has a hold on my heart~”

and it’s true. with all of the time and dedication that his work requires, there’s little room left for something else, too.

“when did it all happen?”

( meme ): accepting!

          THERE’S A TILT OF HIS HEAD as he recalls the last encounter he had with a ‘sasaeng’ fan, though his own interactions with them have (fortunately) been limited over the years. if he were to count the endless phone calls he receives at night, and the daily friend requests that he receives on line and various other personal messaging apps, he could answer with today. but, well, he has come to accept those as just an everyday occurrence, and telling of the last unknown number that attempted to contact him doesn’t garner much interest. 

“i mean,” a single shoulder lifts into a shrug, gaze returning to the younger idol’s features after having flickered off in search of a distant (but still engaging) memory. “if we’re talking about the time i got chased when leaving the company with jongin, that happened almost three years ago. maybe it’s sad to say that it wasn’t that bad, but—” a pause accompanied by a contemplative purse of lips, now reaching to take the smoothie he had purchased not long ago. “i actually haven’t had many issues with sasaengs. other than, you know, the usual phone calls and occasional fan that follows when they see me out on the street.” as for the younger, though… eyebrows raise as he brings the drink towards him, speaking just before he captures the straw between plush lips— “does seventeen have problems with those kind of fans?”

he’s genuinely curious. he is aware that in an industry such as their, newer (and more ‘trendy���) groups tend to have it the worst.
