continued from . . . here — with @meantome!

home feels like sunshine kisses on his cheeks and the cool embrace of ocean spray. a home-cooked breakfast of rice, kimchi, and grilled fish, the latter caught hours earlier from the very waters he could see from his bedroom window. it sounds like rhythmic waves, crackling bonfires, and sand sinking beneath bare feet. this storm resembles almost the very antithesis of home for jiwon, but he's spent enough years in this city to adjust. never underestimate the weather forecast, and stock up on candles, fleece blankets, and snacks.

"jiwon," he answers, emerging from his little coat closet with a pair of indoor slippers. after handing them to his impromptu guest, jiwon scoops up the soaked hoodie in a towel like one might round up a house cat. a second towel is handed to jaemin, along with a quick glance-over. "i.. might have something you can change into, if you'd like to toss those in the dryer. is your phone charged? do you need to call anyone so they know you're okay?"

fifteen steps from the door to his chair. a greeting from the group leader four seconds later. two stacks of styrofoam cups; one tank of water and another for medium-roast coffee. there's sugar and cream, too, but jiwon touches none of it. after all, caffeine is a drug. he sits and waits, picking at the loose skin around his cuticles. the little stings of pain keep him grounded, keep him from floating away with his whirlwind thoughts. jiwon knows every name that fills the circle, even if he can't recall their faces. there is, however, one that he can match both for every time. young hwan, with cold-shoulder eyes and perpetually crossed arms. at first, jiwon had a horrible, dreadful feeling that hwan could read his mind. that gaze pierced right through him every time their eyes met, no matter how fleetingly. now, jiwon doesn't have to worry about that harrowing paranoia because hwan does. he knows. every time their eyes meet, jiwon looks away immediately, only to be drawn back minutes later. guilt, shame, and embarrassment swirl in his stomach like a poisonous cocktail, churning with stomach acid and nearly burning a hole right through the middle of him. he knows. stories are shared around he knows the circle like a pinball, back and forth between volunteers, but he jiwon is never one knows of them. not a word sticks to memory, and before jiwon knows he it the session knows is over. then hwan is stood in front of him, because he knows. "can we go outside?" jiwon asks, pointedly avoiding the other's gaze. "i can't hear anything in here."

close starter for @interxstitial inspired by kindred spirits.

the scent of stale coffee mingles with the sterile aroma of clinical disinfectant, hwan sits among the circle of chairs. his presence marked by a quiet defiance, a subtle resistance to the therapeutic embrace of the group. he slouches in his seat, arms crossed tightly over his chest, as if daring the world to penetrate his armor of indifference. every week, he dutifully attends these sessions, an unwilling participant in the ritual of self-examination. he despises the forced camaraderie, the superficial empathy of strangers who pretend to understand his pain. yet, beneath the surface of his contempt, there lies a fragile hope—a desperate longing to prove that he is more than the sum of his traumas. and then there is him—the object of his reluctant fascination. across the circle, bathed in the soft glow of the overhead lights, sits a fellow traveler on the road to redemption. their eyes meet in fleeting glances, exchanging silent secrets that only they can decipher. he watches him carefully, observing the telltale signs of his inner turmoil. the subtle tremor of his hands, the vacant gaze that betrays a mind adrift in the haze of chemical solace. he knows the demons that haunt him, the silent whispers that drive him to seek refuge in oblivion. and yet, despite his own misgivings, he cannot help but feel a pang of concern. beneath the layers of cynicism and self-loathing, there lies a kernel of compassion—a tender ache that binds them together in their shared journey towards healing if that even exists. as their session unfolds, he can't help help feeling progressively possessed, witness of the clear telltale of a mess unfolding. he waits, patiently to the end of the excruciating painful meeting to run towards him. 'what is going on with you today?' he whispers, launching himself with no preamble. not that they needed one.

seventy-five thousand won is a lot of money. jiwon could buy a new jacket, or maybe half a pair of those shoes he's been thinking about for the past week so that basically means the whole pair would be half off. "ugh, fine," jiwon groans with a potentially earth-shattering eye roll. he grabs the box and shakes it a few times, turns it this way and that for a thorough inspection. "get your money ready—" he says, only to shriek at a definitely earth-rupturing pitch that drowns out the clatter of the box falling to the ground. it's only a little pop-up ghost puppet, but jiwon hates surprises!

he’s  still  holding  the  box  out,  shaking  it  a  few  times  as  if  jiwon  is  a  cat  that  he’s  trying  to  lure  out  with  treats.     ❛❛   seventy  –  five  thousand.  also  i’m  holding  her  for  both  of  us.   ❜❜     for  both  of  their  safety,  he  means.  if  jiwon  does  end  up  freaking  out  he  doesn’t  want  the  poor  animal  to  get  stepped  on  or  tripped  over.  he  also  has  no  idea  if  his  friend  will  throw  the  box  either  so  that's  another  thing  on  his  mind.     ❛❛   come  on  hyung,  it'll  be  fine  !   ❜❜

holding out a very colorful box in one hand and carrying tea in the other arm. "i'll give you seventy thousand won if you can open this and survive the horrors without screaming."

"unless this is full of shitty drawings from when you were five, i'm not opening this." pale as a ghost, jiwon deliberately avoids looking at the box and reaches out for his daughter. "and give me my cat back, kidnapper."

"i never said it was your fault. i said it was our fault!" jiwon cries in both their defense, eyes wide like an anxious chihuahua. he shakes like one, too, as he hops up onto the table when a cricket gets too close for comfort. if they weren't already in such a state, jiwon would probably start crying, but he has to keep himself together right now. it's very hard, though, not to crumble and shatter when suchan is so upset with him. (at least, that's how it feels.)

"i mean, f-frogs eat crickets, right? and that'd be nicer than just setting them on fire, wouldn't it?" with a wobbly lip, jiwon looks over the sea of crickets hip-hopping 'round the room and attempts to cover up a sniffle by inhaling slowly. he may not like creepy crawlies, but that doesn't mean he wants to murder them through immolation. "d'you think we could round them up with a big box? like they do at cat cafés? oh, but what if we step on one? the others will get mad, won't they? that won't be good at all—"

❛❛   no way, this  is  most  definitely  not  my  fault.  it’s  not  like  i  wanted  to  do  this  either.   ❜❜     normally  suchan  would  have  agreed,  but  this  time  is not  going to be  one  of  them     ▬▬▬     even  the  best  screwed  on  lids  were  no  match  for  glass  hitting  tile.

he  has  a  large  desire  to  swat  at  jiwon’s  arm  to  keep  him  from  moving  and  the  only  thing  that  prevents  him  from  doing  so  is  the  fear  that  his  own  sudden  movements  would  scare  the  insects  into  flying  around  or  something.  can  crickets  fly  ?  he  feels  like  he  should  know  the  answer  and  yet  every  thought  he  had  had  up  until  a  few  moments  ago  has  disappeared.

❛❛   frogs  ?  seriously  ?   ❜❜     his  voice  comes  out  as  a  sarcastic  hiss,  not  necessarily  directed  to  jiwon  but  more  to  their  situation  as  a  whole.     ❛❛   can  you  set  your  sights  higher  ?  a  match  box  maybe  ?  a  lighter  ?  a  blowtorch  perhaps  ?   ❜❜

rough doesn't even begin to describe his week, but the validation is nice. in the same vein, loud and wrong are also understatements for the over-privileged parents he has to deal with twice a week. the kids are meant to have fun and explore their talent, not be exploited for vicarious achievements and farmed like scout fodder. if jiwon weren't so adamant on being a good role model for his students, he'd give those few parents enough lessons to make them re-think every decision they've made since developing the ability to vocalise.

with a long sigh, jiwon lets his gaze drift to the fence past the pool. he spots a gap in between slats, maybe no more than a half-inch wider than the rest, and it irks him for some reason. every other slat is consistently spaced except for that one spot. then he blinks and bites at the inside of his lip for a handful of seconds. "no, it's.. not the first time they've heard that." (not just in general, but from jiwon.) "i was gonna apologise at our next session. i feel weird about talking to them any other time." jiwon knows better, but it's hard sometimes to accept that his therapist is also just another person. someone who buys groceries, pays bills, eats and drinks and sleeps, and also makes mistakes.

he blinks, again, and glances at the weird gap in the fence, again.

"i'm kind of high right now," jiwon confesses, fingers clasped around the last gummy bears in his palm. three is more than enough. too much, honestly. "i wouldn't really trust the drinks here, 'specially if you didn't mix it yourself." a third blink; a third look at that gap in the fence. "the last thing i bought for myself was a keychain for my bag. it's one of those, um, shaker things, with the water and glitter and floating charms. it's shaped like a thing of boba tea."

do-hyun's  smile  remains  throughout  the  first  half  of  jiwon's  response     ▬▬▬     at  least  until  the  other  starts  to  talk  about  the  various  troubles  and  problems  that  have  occurred  over  the  week  and  his  expression  slowly  changes  into  one  of  concern.     ❛❛   oh.  that  sounds  rough.   ❜❜     his  gaze  falls  onto  the  remaining  bears  currently  being  crushed.     ❛❛   well  …  if  it  makes  you  feel  any  better  usually  all  rich  people  are  like  that.  loud  and  wrong  i  mean.   ❜❜

the  other  two  issues  are  ones  he's  aware  he  probably  can't  really  help  with.  jiwon  knows  his  leg  better  than  anyone.  do-hyun  may  have  his  own  pains  but  their  situations  are  quite  different  so  the  advice  he  would  normally  give  might  not  work     ▬▬▬     especially  if  jiwon  isn't  doing  anything  anyway.     ❛❛   i'm  sure  that's  not  the  first  time  your  therapist  has  heard  that  from  someone.  did  you  apologize  ?  i  bet  they're  experienced  with  stuff  like  that  and  know  you  didn't  mean  it.   ❜❜

he  falls  silent,  taking  another  sip  of  his  drink  and  stares  out  across  the  lawn  towards  the  pool.  it'll  be  a  new  week  soon.  even  if  jiwon  didn't  want  this  week  to  end  time  will  continue  to  pass  and  they  have  no  choice  but  to  move  forward.  do-hyun  hates  it  sometimes.  life  is  too  fast  for  him.  he  swears  it  messes  with  his  mind.  too  confusing  …  too  much.     ❛❛   next  week  will  probably  be  better.  anyway,  you're  here  now.  it's  the  weekend.  be  free  !  go  get  a  drink  or  something.  what  about  retail  therapy  ?  when  was  the  last  time  you  bought  something  for  yourself  ?  i  hear  that  works  wonders.   ❜❜

@idleds asked: 20 from hyunsoo 😇

he can't breathe. air goes in just as fast as it leaves him. not a single molecule seems to permeate his lungs, and julien feels vitriol burning all the way to the marrow of his bones. never before has he felt so furious, so fucking humiliated. in all the years he's borrowed from the air of this planet, julien has never raised a hand against another person. he's better than that, would never resort to such barbarianism when he has the intelligence to work his way out of anything.

until tonight.

julien can't breathe, and he despises it. even as he sprints down the corridor, he feels his hands shaking with a ferocity he can't control. he hasn't felt so lost inside his own body since the day he woke up in the hospital, two days after his heart stopped for a whole three minutes, just hours after he was struck down by a speeding car. it wasn't the first time he'd willingly locked himself in a room with a known criminal. it wasn't even the first time he'd been cornered, or propositioned, or touched despite several definite no's. it was, however, the first time anyone struck him for talking back.

in a split-second, julien feels his body move faster than he's ever seen. he watches his hand swipe through the air before a sharp crack follows. after that, his memory fades. moments or minutes later, hyunsoo is pulling him off a motionless body and yelling at him to get out. they have to leave before anyone connects them to the scene, or else everything they've worked for will have been for nothing. it's not until they're in the car does julien feel himself settle back into his body and take his first real breath. his voice still feels faraway when he speaks, but at least he can be sure it's himself.

"i didn't kill him."

image-based prompts: ACCEPTING! you chose . . . this!

— starter for @adorajpg ! »

there's upheaval in the studio. fifteen kids between the ages of five and seven raising their hands to be picked while simultaneously yelling over each other, all sharing the same goal: convince mr. micah to dance in the upcoming showcase. they still have a couple months 'til the event, which is plenty of time for the special guest to fine-tune his arabesques and pas de chats. half of the kids surround micah; the other half goes to jiwon to further plead their case. their enthusiasm tugs hard at his heartstrings, and jiwon is powerless to deny them. as their teacher, after all, it's his responsibility to nurture such passion.

"they're right," he speaks up, bringing the ruckus to a calm. wide-eyed and hopeful, jiwon's students look back and forth between him and micah in anticipation. smiling, jiwon tucks a stray strand of hair behind an ear, tilts his head, and continues, "there's still enough time for you to learn the routine, and it's not too late to get you measured for a costume. which season do you want to be in?"

(and maybe that's the wrong question to ask, because now all the students are yelling again, begging micah to join their group as if their very lives depended on it. but jiwon thinks they're all very precious anyway.)

[interxstitial]

" parties aren't really my thing... "

[ for jiwon ! lí chényǔ is a wallflower of the highest order--- ]

"they're not mine either, but i figured it'd be better to suffer together."

once upon a time, not all that long ago in the grand scheme of things, jiwon thrived in environments like these. he used to be that person dancing on the tables, clearly one too many drinks down the hatchet. even when the crowd dwindled, jiwon would have been petitioning for an after-party further down the block because he knew a guy.

now, he would much rather curl up on the sofa with a fresh cup of tea and re-watch one of his favourite reality shows. there's really only one reason he would find himself at a party after the accident, but tonight he seems to have found another.

"i'll look out for you, i promise," jiwon reassures, linking arms with chényǔ. somewhere down the corridor, uproarious laughter booms from a private party room. in his free hand, jiwon adjusts the heavy gift bag and inhales slowly. the aroma of barbecue sits thick in the air, and the clink-clink of shot glasses chimes like church bells. he tries to convince himself that it's not really a party, that it's more of a work thing that he has to go to after work. it's just a birthday dinner with people he happens to work with!

"sit on my right and eat as much as you want." then, to convince chényǔ and himself, jiwon adds: "everything will be fine."

party prompts: ACCEPTING!
