"...ew." Sunhee hated this part of town. Run down, dirty, suspicious people staring at her and as her bright, soft outfit made her stick out like a sore thumb.

"You!" She spotted him at the end of a street, getting a running start (though it wasn't very fast or very aggressive) and greeting her dumb half brother with tiny smacks to his arm. "You were supposed to pick me up an hour ago!" Continuing to let out her little frustrations, her hits probably barely felt through his jacket, she ran herself out of breath, pushing away and moving out the strands of hair that had fallen in to her face.

"I had to walk home from class! Then you made me worried, you weren't responding to any of my calls!" She held up her phone showing the numerous attempted calls she'd try to get through to him. Her adorable little tantrum, all out of a place of love, ended with a stomp of her foot and a pout -- what else were older brothers good for?

       frown  appears  on  femme's  face,  subtly  reaching  out  and  allowing  nimble  fingers  to  wrap  around  everest's  wrist,  lightly  pulling  his  hand  back  around  ;  gaze  falling  onto  the  colored  knuckles.   "  i  guess  that  makes  sense,  i  just  worry  the  time  they  gang  up  on  you  when  you're  on  your  own.  "   clear  worry  lacing  sooah's  voice,  lips  pouting  a  bit  as  she  let  their  eyes  connect.   "  did  you  put  some  healing  balm  on  there  ?  used  to  it  or  not,  you  should  treat  it.  "   otherwise  she  would  be  making  it  her  personal  mission.

instinctively  shoved  his  hands  into  the  pockets  of  his  jacket–  too  late,  she  saw  it.  didn’t  mean  to  worry  her,  it  was  just  in his  nature  to  find  trouble.  “  hey,  i  couldn’t  let  those  bullies  humiliate  the  poor  guy.  ”  his  thick  eyebrows  knitted  together  at  the  thought  of  what  he  witnessed.  at  least  they  weren’t  school  kids,  so  he  wasn’t  worried  about  them  being  minors.  “  it’s  okay  though  …  my  hands  are  almost  always  looking  that  way.  i’m  used  to  it.  ”  he  reassured.

     being pestered throughout the entirity of the evening, having urged miyeon to almost leave rather than continue having a good time with the friends she had appeared here with. attempt number ten and miyeon moved to face the previously touchy stranger but, femme's line of sight was occupied by another man's back to her ; his words making her blink a few times, as if she was currently starstruck. head lifts, gazing at the drunken man and nimble hand rests on the other's shoulder.  " as you can see, ahjussi, i'm already way better off without you. "  fox-like smile offered to the weirdo staring the two down.

open to: anyone. plot: the cliché plot where ym is being bothered by some weirdo and everest steps in to help ( could pretend to be a fake boyfriend too ).

he had promised to lay low and not cause trouble but what was he supposed to do in this situation? sit and watch? it wasn’t like him to do that. “ buddy, look at you– wherever you go, clown music plays. ” he taunted the guy who was bothering the other. it was such a everest thing to step in and turn into a referee, not caring what or who was the problem. “ is ‘no’ not enough for you? shall i reply for them too? ” he sneered with his fists balled. one more word and he was going to throw the first punch.

rhea freezes in her tracks when eyes lock onto a face she hasn't seen in years,  the weight of full shopping bags pulling at her arms as breath catches in her throat.  she's been here all morning,  picking out new fabrics and materials to craft her new dance outfit out of,  but none of that seems to matter now.  next destination forgotten entirely when he says her name.  everest.  she stands there,  unable to move,  his smile so familiar yet foreign at the same time—a memory she'd tucked away for safekeeping,  only now realizing how much she's missed it.  him.  it's almost dizzying.

“  h-hey,  ”  finally manages to say something in return,  legs carrying her over to him before she can really process what's going on.  she's never been able to forget him,  even after years of radio silence,  of him cutting her off.  heart thuds in her chest.  “  it's been a long time…  ”  finding herself at a loss for words now that they're face-to-face again,  she musters up a smile,  knowing her expression must still reflect her shock.  “  what brings you here..?  ”

˚ 𓏸 ྀ། a plotted started for @cruelaffair !

weather was finally nice outside, the sun was shining brightly and the birds were singing. a perfect day to head out and do what he has been postponing for a while now. in all honesty, everest wasn’t a big fan of shopping for clothes and shoes, preferred to purchase things online but with the good weather, he seemed to be in high spirits too, hence the decision to go out ( touch grass as they said ). with a destination in mind, he hopped on his car and drove to one of the biggest shopping malls in the city.

kids ran around, screaming and laughing— he missed being so carefree and happy. a lopsided smile gracing his features as he walked among the crowd. his eyes met with another pair�� then did a double take. stopping in his track, everest could actually recognise her. after some years rhea looked almost the same. his smile grew wider and he lifted his hand to wave at her. “ hey, rhea— ”

       "  i  suppose  so,  yes  ...  but  never  really  in  detail.  "   rubbing  at  her  nape  while  soft  eyes  land  over  on  the  male,  curiosity  hinted  in  her  gaze.   "  sounds  like  you  have  ?  elaborate  for  me  on  that.  "   leaning  a  bit  forward  and  cupping  face  in  the  palms  of  her  hands,  genuinely  interested  in  where  this  little  conversation  would  go.

“  have  you  ever  dreamt  of  a  better  version  of  yourself?  ”  he  was  curious  whether  it  was  just  him  who  did.

            "  n-nothing,  you  just-  "  for  a  brief  moment,  she  felt  the  sting  of  embarrassment  from  being  caught  red-handed  mid-stare,  cheeks  coloring,  "  you  look  funny.  "  she  deflected,  leaning  into  playful  sarcasm  as  a  makeshift  shield  against  her  shyness,  "  also,  you  have  something  on  your  chin.  "  she  added,  pointing  at  the  red  spot.  fighting  back  the  urge  to  laugh  at  the  sudden  childish  teasing  coming  from  herself.

felt  eyes  on  him,  instinctively  turned  his  head  only  to  lock  eyes  with  her–  “  why  are  you  looking  at  me  like  that?  ”

Aeri blinked in surprise as he went along with the lie, her mind racing. She expected him to call her out, shove her to the side, and tell the woman she was crazy since they never got along but instead, he was playing the role perfectly. She could feel her own heart racing, both from the unexpected turn of events and the ridiculousness of it all. "Yeah, it was totally magical," she said, forcing herself to play along while staring at Everest with wide eyes, trying not to laugh at how well he was acting. She squeezed his hand a little tighter, matching his 'adoring' look as best as she could. "He really knows how to sweep a girl off her feet, doesn’t he?" she added, raising an eyebrow in mock surprise at him, feeling slightly more impressed by his performance than she cared to admit.

Meanwhile, the lady handing out the samples looked impressed, and Aeri felt a spark of hope. Maybe, just maybe, this was actually going to work.

open to: female muses. plot: your muse had the idea of grabbing the very first person they bump into and lie that they are engaged for free cake samples! that very first person happened to be everest. connection: strangers / enemies / aquintenances / neighbours ... go crazy.

“ oh, yes– we got engaged a few weeks ago and … whoa, it was magical. ” he put on his best smiles, his adoring look for the other, the way they were holding hands. everest could be a paid actor. “ i planned it to be super romantic, just the way my girl likes it. ”

Sunhee told the mild scolding with a pout. Her gaze still lingered on his bruised face and wondered if he was lying to her or not, considering how their father had been wrapped up in shady business and her own mother seemed to disappear for nights on end sometimes, he was really the only f a m i l y she had left and she'd already latched on to him. Still, as the younger sister, she nodded in understanding without arguing back.

"I'll still worry if you don't answer. What if something were to happen to you?" Sunhee wanted to think Everest was strong enough to handle himself, but if he lingered around parts of town like this getting in to fights, he must be doing something dangerous in his every day life and that didn't settle well with her. "I don't want you getting hurt. I just found out that I have an older brother and I already have a neglectful mom and a dad who never bothered to get to know me, you can't blame me for being worried." Letting out a little huff, she reached for his arm again and started pulling him towards his car, deciding that ice cream would be a good idea after all.

“  what  do  you  mean?  you  are  a  kid–-  ”  he  said  in  a  joking  manner,  the  tonality  of  his  voice  giving  it  away  even  though  his  expression  didn’t  really  change  as  both  walked  away  from  the  place  where  he  would  never  allow  her  to  go  close  to  again.  with  the  way  she  stopped  mid-sentence,  everest  glanced  at  sunhee  only  to  notice  the  way  she  finally  looked  at  him  properly  and  what  she  saw  had  the  alarms  in  her  head  ringing.  when  she  moved  to  stand  in  front  of  him,  he  gently  swatted  her  hand  away  after  a  moment  of  her  examining  his  face,  head  shaking  in  the  process.  “  i’m  fine,  it’s  nothing  unusual  for  me.  ”

there  were  too  many  things  that  she  would  find  alarming  and  he  wasn’t  sure  if  he  would  be  able  to  hide  some  of  them–-  bruises  were  obviously  going  to  be  dead  giveaways  all  the  time.  “  i  got  into  a  fight  at  the  …  club.  some  dude  was  really  fucking  annoying  and  i  had  to  step  in.  ”  a  little  lie  would  never  hurt  anyone.  his  eyebrows  knit  together  when  he  heard  the  whistles,  a  death  glare  sent  at  the  guys  who  were  passing  by.  “  sunhee,  don’t  you  ever  do  that  again,  okay?  if  i’m  not  answering,  don’t  just  go  and  stalk  where  i  am–-  i  can  handle  being  in  places  like  this  but  you  can’t.  for  both  our  safety,  if  i’m  ever  not  on  time,  just  go  home by yourself and i'll get to you as soon as possible.  ”

"Ice cream? I'm not -- I'm not a kid!" There wasn't much resistance at the pull and linking of their arms, Sunhee falling in to place beside him and feeling a bit relieved knowing her newly found older brother was safe. She'd panicked for nothing, already scolding herself for getting so worked up. At least she had an excuse; it wasn't every day she found out she had an older brother. Her own mother, the only family she had, didn't take any effort to spend time together, so having Everest willing to do simple tasks like taking her for ice cream was enough to give her that warm feeling inside.

"If you're going to be late, next time just call or--" She looked at him, really looked at him, since he'd emerged from whatever cave he'd suddenly appeared out of. Busted lip, bruised cheek -- her eyes narrowed, then concern followed right after. "Oppa! Are you okay? Are you hurt?" Their walking suddenly halted as she stood in front of him with her hand gently coming up to cradle the bruised cheek and examine the injury.

Turns out she did have reason to worry, pieces falling together as to why he was late and never responded to any of her calls. Who did this to you? Why would..." Bottom lip stuck out in a pout, not wanting to believe someone had intentionally hurt her older brother, though it soon turned in to a scowl when a couple of less than savory looking men passed them on the road and whistled at Sunhee. She glared as they passed, instinctively turning her back on them, facing Everest again and trying not to snap back at them or their whistles.

well–-  she  was  certainly  not  supposed  to  be  in  this  neighbourhood,  walking  alone  like  that.  didn’t  put  out  much  of  a  reaction  to  her  little  yet  adorable  tantrum  though  he  was  genuinely  sorry  how  his  …  schedule  dragged  out  and  he  failed  to  meet  up  with  her  as  they  have  agreed.  wanted  to  be  there  for  her  and  walk  her  home  at  least  at  the  later  hours  but  the  collisions  with  what  he  had  to  do  would  be  inevitable  sometimes.  

when  she  held  up  her  phone  for  him  to  see  the  amount  of  times  she  had  called,  everest  gave  her  an  apologetic  look.  was  this  …  was  this  how  it  felt like  to  have  a  little  sister?  he  expected  some  d r a m a  going  down  between  them  due  to  their  upbringings  and  the  way  they  never  got  enough  of  their  father’s  attention,  likely  because  of  the  existence  of  the  other.  or  maybe  they  weren’t  there  yet–-  not  that  he  was  complaining  though!  there  was  enough  shit  going  down  in  his  life  and  this  would  be  the  last  he  would  want  to  deal  with.  “  no  but  …  how  did  you  find  me–  ”  stupid  question.  she  probably  looked  at  his  location  now  that  it  was  shared  with  her.  fuck.  he  would  have  to  be  mindful  of  that.

“  you  know  what–-  ”  linked  his  arm  with  hers  and  pulled  her  along,  walking  her  to  where  he  parked  his  car  a  block  away.  “  let’s  just  go  grab  ice  cream.  you  like  that,  right?  ”  trying  to  distract  her  from  noticing  his  busted  lip  and  how  reddened  was  the  left  side  of  his  face.  didn’t  need  to  know  what  he  did–-  not  that  he  could  lie  much  about  it  but  she  wouldn’t  know  the  whole  truth.
