really, jisun couldn’t have cared less on whether they were playing the newest releases or if they were sitting over an old dusty checkers board – she loved playing video games as much as the next girl ( in fact, she’d be playing them a lot more if she was in the position to actually buy them, but that was an entire other rabbit hole ) but she was more happy to just have some downtime. between running through both of her jobs and not to mention trying to make it to university and then the inevitable stressed catch-up after she periodically slept through her classes. it was more difficult for her than she liked to admit, trying to find good, proper time to spend with her friends, but she did her best – though she could never really give all that she wanted to.

“best gamer in the world huh? i think there’s quite a few people that’ll disagree with you on that – but i would say that i am the very best sims two player in the whole world,” she joked, sue her, she was a casual gamer at best – but if life ever really dropped, she liked to imagine she’d have a thriving career as a sims interior designer. “but i’ll gladly take the title of best friend so long as you’re not just giving the award to me as a participation award.” her words stop when she realised that she was thumping against the ground, with a heavy weight on top of her and then – oh. oh – she took a second before she actually realised what was going on, her eyes snapped open with shock written over her face, embarrassed and borderline glowing bright red because of it. “uh – “ it wasn’t too surprising for her to be at a loss for words, but she wasn’t annoyed by it – as much as her mind is repeating shit as if it was the last thing she’d ever say, part of her felt somewhat giddy? in the way that her heart pounded, “- i, uh – sorry, uh, for being the way,” she sputtered out, “i didn’t mean for you to uh – at least i broke your fall?”

a heavy red written all over his face doesn’t happen usually, he’s still stuck in bewilderment trying to process everything happening. what’s more concerning is jisun had to save him from his fall, “are you.. okay?” he doesn’t pull away from her but remains still as he doesn’t want to crush her. his eyes are locked on her soft beauty, staring hard when he shouldn’t be but he can’t stop himself. the back of his hand abrades her cheek, “sorry..” she’s always been pretty but never had he seen the gem of her beauty, breathtaking and gorgeous. “you’re.. beautiful, jisun.” he spout out an honest statement, one that he’s used for her before but this time, it feels different. and it was a battle for his rationality, vernon was one to think logically but that doesn’t work when his heart’s racing higher than norm.

when he realises it’s been over five minutes of this position, he pulls himself to stand up then bends his knees down to help jisun rise. he offers his arm to pull her up, “i’m sorry.. i should’ve been more careful. sorry, i’m weird..” he heaves a stressed sigh, scratching the back of his neck nervously. he shifts to walking around in small slow circles a couple of times to calm himself. “are you okay, jisun? did i hurt you?” he looks at her briefly before his eyes locked on the video game box sets. the tension is real, awkwardness rooted deeply in the air as he clears his throat, “did you still want to play anything or..?” it’s not the best breaker to relieve the atmosphere but at least, he’s making an effort. this couldn’t be the next step, tuning into the video games as an escape. many people were under the assumption that he was dating jisun but that was wrong. besides, they’re just best friends after all. he would never expect jisun to see him in such a way. it could never be.

whoops

“lucky,” he smiles and he’s glad that the other male doesn’t have to worry about finances. he’s in no position to be jealous – his own parents had helped him out a lot when he first moved to seoul as well, and he had only started struggling with money when he had told them not to help him anymore. he’s still struggling, but hopefully that he could start saving up better soon.

“volunteering is always fun though,” dongmin agrees, because he used to do it regularly before his schedule started getting busier and busier, and he nods when the other male points out the nearby animal shelter. “are dogs your favourite animal?”

“it seems that money makes the world go round though.” vernon doesn’t like this proposition, which only came with greed and power to the higher-ups. “people have so much money but don’t give it enough to charity enough.” but it’s not his problem, so he can only stand by and watch everything from a far distance. he just wishes certain people had more in their life.

“dogs are my favorite, yes. but i’m more of a reptile person!” he loves all animals but is only allergic to cats for some odd reason. “do you love dogs the best too?” he asks the question with a grin on his face.

februrary is a month full of odd holidays and celebrations, one that he doesn't celebrate much other than his birthday. valentine’s day is one he doesn’t pay attention much too either. vernon’s bothered jisun on a food adventure just because he wanted to grab some bites but didn’t want to go alone. he just can’t help but wonder why couples are going through the streets like there’s a whole zoo of them, but he shakes off the thought once he’s thinking of what to eat.

“i’m hungry too.” he sighs, rubbing his stomach as it makes some light noises. “no worries, i’ll pay for you! don’t worry about money around me, okay?” he meant every single bit of it. he’d been blessed with an unhealthy allowance of lots of green. “something simple like a sandwich or burger.” he shrugs as he’s still going through the menu. “what about you? what do you like?”

jisun didn’t hesitate much at vernon’s offer when he asked her to go get something to eat with him – in fact, she jumped at the offer, who was she to turn down food? she didn’t realise that after she’d eagerly run away from her droning on shift at the convenience store to meet him that they were wading their way through couple through couple that they fit into the crowds going through the streets. the mid-february gust of love seemed to go completely over jisun’s head, even after spending the last two weeks restocking heart shaped chocolate boxes over and over again.

“i’m starving,” jisun huffed, following behind vernon’s step, “for some reason everything was so busy today and i had to cut my break down, my manager said i’ll get paid for the time i was working and while my brain said okay, i think my stomach started crying.” the only thing keeping jisun happy was that they weren’t too far from the place they were going to eat at – at that point, jisun probably would have settled for anything. still, it was nice to be able to go out with her friend, especially after being cooped inside all day. by the time they got there, jisun was pretty much ready to order the whole menu, “what do you think you’re going to order?”

[rkvernon-blog]

what do you think of me honestly?

“what i think of you? why would you ask, don’t you already know?” she was already trying to think of a way to skirt around the question, “you’re my best friend,” and she wants to leave it at that, but that’s not entirely correct - not the honesty that was being looked for here. “i think you’re great,” she smiles as she’s talking, wholly sincere in her words, “you make me happy; you’re the best person to have around when i’m feeling down, or just, all the time; though i do get the feeling that you let me win in mario kart sometimes -  which is just unfair because i could beat you anyway!” she laughs, strung up completely in happy memories of them playing video games together, “i guess you’re one of the people i’d be devastated to lose; and i’m going to do everything i can to keep that from happening!”

despite having not actually owned a game console since the ps2 – which she still holds very dear to her despite it being packed away in her house back home – jisun did love to unwind by playing video games, especially with it being the only time that she even got remotely competitive about anything. even with her gentle disposition, she’d admit that even she was riled up by the cursed mario kart blue shell; usually she just hoped that vernon would take pity on her and let her get ahead. “it sounds great, but i’ll still throw a pouty child tantrum if i fall off the edge,” she joked, peering up at the other games.

“a little variety couldn’t work, you might want some other options if you get tired of losing to the best gamer in the world,” she joked, looking at the cases with interest. “i like soul calibur, i used to play that a lot as a kid,” she hummed, thinking back to it for a moment – she may not have been particularly good but it was the effort that counted, that and her begging her better friends to unlock new things for her when she couldn’t pass anything. hopefully she’d have improved after the what – ten years of not playing it, “but i’ll play anything so long as you don’t try too hard to destroy my pride.”

vernon has a lot of consoles. scratch that, the kid has all of them and even the ancient ones before the upgrades. he was an avid fan of old school games as they seem to bring in lots of nostalgia that he liked. it was a great childhood for him, going to play games right after school and homework. he grew up from playing it 24/7 to just playing with his friends instead of by himself. besides, more fun if he wasn’t all alone. the only excuse he uses to play when he’s alone is if it’s a new release or he’s on a grind to complete the quests or story mode in a short amount of time as he aspires.

“that’s cute if you did do that though.” he laughs at her joke, lips cracking into a brief smile before he turns to look at her. “you are the best gamer in the world. the bestest best friend in the world. seriously.” he might be joking about the gamer part but he wasn’t lying one bit about his close friendship with jisun. it’s fun and teases with her until he’s lost some sense of balance that causes him to collapse as he was trying to reach out for a video game on the top shelves. he manages to find some landing but it had been too soft than the floor, oh shit. oh shit. he’s realised that he’s tripped on his best friend, laying on top of her with their faces too close. he’s never been this close but he’s definitely gotten an unexpected kiss stolen.

whoops

❪ Q! ❫ everyone that means something to you in this world has left you, but you have one wish to bring one person back -- who would it be?

“i would bring back my best friend. i don’t think i can ever lose jisun, i can’t see myself without her. it’s really hard to. imagining my life without her is something i don’t want to think about.” the idea of loss creeps on him but he knows that jisun might feel the same way. the boy has a slight frown on his face, considering he’s hurt if he were to lose her. “my best friend is the most important to me.”

If a truth is proven to be false then was it ever a truth?

“truths also exist in other realities or alternate universes. i wonder if anyone else has ever thought of that, haven’t you wondered as well?”

[rkvernon-blog]

What are your happiest and worst memories?

“i know that my happiest moments were going around the world, seeing new places that i’ve never seen before and making friends in that country that i had visited.” with great travels came a price that he didn’t want it to happen all the time but dodging the inevitable seems impossible. “i didn’t like when i didn’t see my friends because i kept moving around all the time. it made a strain on friendships i had that i could have grown closer to the person but i was only allowed to stay at once place for only so long.”

[rkvernon-blog]

who are your biases from the recently debuted groups (luxe, convex, eclipse)?

“i don’t check up on idol pop a lot but from what i’ve seen in luxe, i like ella and yena. in eclipse i definitely like haseul! minji is my bias. i’d tie it between haseul and minji for eclipse but ella is my ultimate bias in luxe.”

[rkvernon-blog]

what is your pokemon dream team?

“get me a whole ass team of bulbasaurs.” he’s only joking but his list for a pokemon dream team is so long that he’s lost track by now. “i’ve had so many dream teams playing those games, i’m pretty sure i have no memory of the past of what’s my favourite pokemon dream team. i can’t pick one because they have their disadvantages and advantages.”

[rkvernon-blog]

If you could get away with any crime, would you commit one? If so, which and why?

crimes have never really gone inside his head, laws exist for a reason but even he hates them when they’re on the lines of being corrupt instead of helping in a working society. “i’m not sure… frankly.” he thinks about the inventions that were made but never patented because of specific industries with the worry of running out of business. “i would make a really cool experiment that would make this earth better. it would probably be something illegal in the first place.” vernon has some questionable ideas, some whack, but some reasonable.

[rkvernon-blog]

which convex member do you think is the hottest?

“um… jinki? the guy’s pretty good-looking.” to be fair, vernon has yet to check up the contents of convex and all of its other members, he doesn’t really invest his time in looking up boy group as of recently.

what kind of person do you think your soulmate will be, or who do you hope they will be?

he hasn’t gone through enough to experience the feeling that a soulmate would give, but he does believe in such a thought. “i.. think…” he takes some time to ponder as he wants to give an answer with meaning, not a half-assed one. “i want her to be someone that’ll love me until the end of time! i think of them as a part of me that i would hate to lose. someone i would be afraid of losing. that if i would, my whole world would feel like it’s fallen apart.”

“i just hope they’re loyal is all because i would give my all.”

[rkvernon-blog]

Someone once said that if you tell the same lie enough times then it'll become the truth, do you think this applies to happiness too?

the question is a difficult one that’s got him jumping into many conclusions but resorts to one choice that seems to make some sense to him. “i think if you’ve tricked yourself for so long then it starts to become a sense of delusions instead of it being the truth. the truth is what remains on being genuine and not just telling yourself paranoias that affect you from your daily activities, so much that it causes you to have a different view of happiness.” he shrugs his shoulders still interest in talking about other issues, “i think i wouldn’t be happy if i was lying to myself so much. i would ask people around me for affirmation if i need it.”

days of love overfill the streets of seoul, people that truly enjoy one another's company. which how relationships are supposed to be, or that’s at least generally assumed. he doesn’t give it too much attention, seeing it to be a waste of time thinking about valentine’s day when he would find more solace in spending the holidays with his best friend, jisun. he thinks of her as the yin part to his inner being. he’s offered buying her a meal out as his present for appreciation to her, which still doesn’t feel adequate at all.

“me too.” he passes through the entrance, despite hangry but doesn’t know what to buy from the very beginning. “i’m sorry. well you’re here now and i’ll get you as much food as you want to eat, so don’t be to afraid to get anything you want!” he shows her a reassuring smile, just wanting to make her day feel so much better now that he’s around. “i think i might get pasta. pasta always sounds good no matter the occasion.” he’s boring but he’ll go with the safe sides on the menu. 

“what were you thinking of, jisun?”
