once more, he sees his companions’ faces ; livid in the first faint light, gray with cement dust, nebulous in the mist, tinged with death in their uneasy sleep. at night, under the heavy burden of their dreams, their jaws move, chewing a non-existent turnip. // independent && selective apocalypse survivor, best set in twd and similar themed verses. as brought to life by MIKO !!

     and her words, her mere presence, cause a hallow to open up beneath tightened chest, to cause something prickly and demanding to make a home in his heart ; he has never been in love, doesn’t think he knows what beauty and trust that beth speaks so easily about, but he does know loss. he knows the ache of a missing person in his life, knows knowing intrinsically that his family is dead, knows anyone he could call a friend or family from the world before is long gone. he knows pain more than he knows love, and her honeyed words mean nothing to him.

     “love makes you stupid.” makes you reckless, selfless, blind - makes you too trusting in a world where trust could just as easily get you killed than save you. “love leaves a hole in you. what happens when the person you love dies, huh ?” not if, but when, as everyone dies eventually, as everyone dies too soon in this godforsaken world, as she can die tomorrow just as easily as he can die tonight. it’s not worth it, though jae knows he would rather never experience it at all than go through the pain of losing it ( losing her ).

    “probably not very likely.” she sighs trying to figure out all their options. the first thing that came to her mind was a tent     years of camping with the millers had taught her how to make her own in case of an emergency     but she wasn’t too fond of those in the apocalypse. there wasn’t enough exits. “we could put something over the window, maybe barricade the windows after with shelves or something to keep out the dead?” 

     of course not very likely - he can already picture the rows of shops with shattered windows, with windows futilely boarded up, with too many exits and not enough shelter, and it set him on edge before they even decided a plan. jaw tenses as he weighs their options, tries to figure out if it’s worth it to stay out another night and face the harshness of the elements, or to find a place with four walls and a roof. it’s obvious what jae’s answer will be, defeated noise resting somewhere in throat. “first we have to find a suitable place, something with as few busted windows.” something that didn’t get ransacked in the aftermath of the end of the world.

     he knew before she finished speaking what plan was rattling around in her brain and, as much as his heart threatened to launch itself into his throat at the thought, she was RIGHT -- jae could always argue that building a fire on a roof was just as effective but it was undoubtedly more dangerous, and he’d like to survive the night. “i know -- but these aren’t residences, they’re shops. what’re the chances of finding one without busted windows ?” with some semblance of safety, perceived or not.

[dyiingliight]

open to: anyone !!

     “you know what i’d kill for ??” it’s the only safe topic jae brings up of his own volition, the only conversation he can control and keep within safe bounds even as it strays dangerously close to open wounds and memories best left alone. “a working radio. hell, even an ipod nano, or shuffle.” and that means crappy pop music, which is not his taste at all, but desperate times and all that. “anything with music on it.”

momcnts / hyeri.

if she hadn’t already been his friend, hyeri was sure she would have had quite an infatuation with him.  not that the thought hadn’t crossed her mind. it was merely because she respect jae as a professional with his own skills in the sport of parkour, and she didn’t really want to ruin something like that. besides, sometimes being friends was all it really came to, and she didn’t mind that. as she watched his bolt off, diving off the ledge and defying gravity in the process her jaw dropped in awe, wanting to clap out loud if it wasn’t for the camera in her hands. she followed him as fast as she could to catch every single flip and jump he did. her viewers were going to love this feature. 

when jae finally returned, she tossed him a water bottle, holding the go-pro up to his face. “the legend himself: choi jaewon, everybody !”

     nothing else mattered to jae when he was on rooftops, feeling the wind blow through his hair, feeling the roofs drop away as he leapt from building to building, relishing in the adrenaline thundering through his veins and singing through his heart -- all thoughts, all worries and problems and fears, everything disappeared when jae was free running, mind going blissfully blank. for a moment, he forgot he was putting on a show for his friend and her viewers ; for a moment he was running for no one but himself, running towards nothing, running just to run. but then he caught a glimpse of hyeri across the way and threw in a flourish as he made his way back to the roof she was on.

     he caught the water bottle with a grin, heart beating like thunder in his chest and breaths leaving him in heavy gasps. he twisted the cap off and downed half the bottle in one gulp, wide grin still permanently etched on features as he pulled the bottle away and flashed a peace sign to the camera. “the man, the myth, the legend, but you can call me jae. anything for hyeri - and free food.”

surfinkra / kaiko.

“ poor- “ his gaze immediately shifts on to jae, eyes sharply fixed on him. “ I make a decent amount of money. “ kaiko snaps back. arms fold over his chest as he quirks a brow up. “ fine. but if you actually eat it on the landing, i’ll definitely laugh. “ he then takes a step back and gestures his companion to the opposing rooftop.

     “sure, sure,” he responds amicably, teasing glint entering dark gaze and left hand dropping away. jae takes a few steps back after gauging the distance, flashing a broad grin towards kaiko. “i think i’ll be the one laughing when i stick this landing and you’re treating me to food.” and, with a final taunt, he takes off into a run, leaping off the ledge and landing on the opposite roof, rolling to brace his fall and knocking his shoulder against the vent on the roof. however, he rolls and bounces onto his feet and turns to raise arms, bright grin visible even across the way. “gimme a challenge next time !”

momcnts / hyeri.

“yeah, my viewers are gonna love you. handsome and brawny?” she winked playfully at him before pointing the recorder at him. “do whatever you want to, whatever comes naturally!” hyeri responded as she prepared herself to follow his movements. “and after this we can go eat and i can treat you for being the most amazing friend ever?”

     “get ready to capture some awesome skills, hyeri.” guaranteed way to get jae in a good mood are parkour, compliments, and food, in that order ; hyeri’s words managed to hit all those points and he flashed her camera a broad grin. he took a few steps back, gauging the distance, before calling out, “i choose the place !” as soon as the words left him, jae took off, leaping off the edge and landing on the opposite roof, rolling to brace his fall.

momcnts / hyeri.

“ok.. you’re right– but i don’t know if i could do that again.. i didn’t realize how much i hated heights…” she adjusted her clothes before looking over at the pavement where they had set up the gopro. “thank you for doing this, by the way….”

     heights were a common fear, but jae never could understand how someone could be afraid of being on top of the world, or be afraid of the sensation of flight. the traceur paused, turning to give her a faint nod. “anything to show off,” he responded around a huffed chuckle, turning back towards the other rooftop and measuring the distance. “want me to do what i normally would, or add some flair ?”

[dyiingliight]

surfinkra / kaiko.

kaiko takes a few steps towards the ledge, his eyes darting from the nearby rooftop then to the alleyway below. it was a good couple of meters, but not impossible. “ five bucks? if the bet is that low, then it must be a no brainer, man. i’ll buy you lunch if you can only land without eating shit. “

     bright grin grows upon lips as jae lurches into a stand from where he was sat on the a/c unit, dusting seat of pants. “only set it that low ‘cause i know you’re poor. but, if you insist --” and he moves towards kaiko, extending left hand with a confident smirk. “i'll even let you choose the place.”

[dyiingliight]

a smile that could melt my heart. 🧡

@surfinkra liked !!

     “five bucks says i can make it to the next building.” it’s a bet he knows he’s going to win, as jae’s been practicing his landing the past week and knows he can nail it.

antibuttons / coraline.

THE RESPONSE WAS A HISS FROM THE BEER CAN, eyes slowly wandering to jae’s with a wide grin ; of cause there was absolutely no hiding how h a p p y the woman was to see the man. eyes gleaming with subtle delight. ❛  ━━  NOW WHY WOULD I DO THAT ??? ❜ taking a sip from the can for show, eyes never leaving the others ; taking time to note how tired he actually looked right now  ❛  ━━  you look like shit, you okay ???  ❜

     grin spread upon lips hearing the woman’s voice, seeing the way her gaze lit up. “it’s you,” as if that was an obvious answer ( and it was, as it was coraline and that’s all the answer jae needed ). “pulled double shifts,” he responded dismissively, kicking off his shoes and moving to settle next to the woman, grabbing at the condensing beer can in her hand. “treat me to a drink for working so hard, yeah ?”

[dyiingliight]

momcnts· / hyeri.

“ok ok .. fine!” her eyes still closed, hyeri stepped off the platform and prayed to jesus that he would actually still be there to catch her. she couldn’t help the yelp that sounded from her lips at the feeling of free falling until a pair of arms braced her fall. it was a moment after did she dare to open her eyes, not realizing she was clinging to jae’s neck before quickly separating herself from him.

     jae turned to move towards her when she finally assented, positioning himself so she wouldn’t fall, faint noise escaping as hyeri collided against him. “told you --.” matter of fact voice sounded when the woman fell directly into his arms, holding her up until she separated from him, turning back around to face the skyline. “see ? it’s not so bad up here.”
