mbti ♰⸝⸝ for @beseojun

luciel has never tried on a korean school uniform, he feels a little strange about it, but it’s a new experience regardless. “do i look awkward in this…?” he mumbles to seojun, straightening his collar. the script for this episode looks pretty much like a classroom-kind of theme, where they have to take silly tests for their mbti.

thinking about it, what was his mbti again? he knows it’s important to know in society but… was it INTJ or something? he’ll roll with that, he supposes. he remembers his result changing a couple of times, though.

“hyung, what’s your mbti?” luciel asks the older boy. even if he gets an answer, it’s not like he’ll remember what is it about… he better check it up later. “i think i’m INTJ, but i don’t know if it’ll remain the same for this one?” he wonders out loud as he sits down on the chair, crossing his legs.

duo ♰⸝⸝ for @behaneul

perhaps their pleas were heard: vybe is getting more ‘01 liner content! luciel wonders if making those hints about getting more 01 content would make the fans happy, or if it’s a coincidence — in any case, him and haneul were going to showcase ‘lucky to be loved’ together. this would be their first time showcasing a song as a duo. naturally, they practiced together for this, making sure things flow smoothly for the both of them. but since it’s already a song they’ve been learning for a while, it didn’t take too long.

after their group showcases, and then then the individual ones, their turn was next. after that it’s another group song to end the show. there’s some talking segments in between but it’s a relatively simple list. before their turn, luciel nudges haneul, whispering, “hwaiting?” not forgetting he’s still in front of an audience, he keeps up his smile, clapping along with the rest of the crowd when siwoo’s turn ends.

when the host of the show asks them if they had anything they wanted to show, that’s their cue. luciel picks up his mic, nodding his head, “that’s right. not just on my own, but with haneul too.” he turns to the other boy, waiting for him to say his next lines.

[lucielxbe]

vybe mission 5 / begin again.

it was a surprise when luciel came to know that he was going on a solo show to showcase his vocals. it’s his first solo schedule, and it involves singing — it’s a good opportunity for himself. he had the freedom of picking any type of song, so he took his time to choose a song carefully. the options are endless. he spent his free time looking for songs to sing, then he settled on one eventually.

he hasn’t sang this one in a long time. he wasn’t sure if he should go with it, since he’s sung it before on stage once, of a time where his lifeless voice was dripping with emptiness.

when luciel arrives on set, he greets everyone politely with a smile, getting along with the crew. it’s important to make excellent first impressions, before anything. he has a chat with them, asking for their names and checking in whether they’re good to go before the actual filming.

when everything is ready, the song begins, and luciel straightens his back, once again, just like his very first stage of nextgen — clasping his mic, as if it was a prayer.

an acoustic version of black sorrow.

a different mood compared to the last, a little lighter, yet still sombre. he’s started out singing with this song, so why not kickstart his solo schedule with the same sombre mood too? luciel used to start off a little hoarse, unprepared with the apparent lack of vocal training. most of all, he could sing the entire three minutes of the song.

so this time, luciel begins the song smoothly without a hitch. slowly, pouring his voice into the song, then a bit of his heart, and then another bit of his soul. a song that is meant to be performed for the world to listen to, and then somewhere along the way, they became words sung to a person. the ending of the song, the emotions and clear desperation within the lyrics—sent to someone.

to me, you are my black sorrow.

it was a different sort of feel, if people were to compare the first stage to this one. from hopeless longing, to desperately reaching out for the unreachable stars in the sky.

and this time… there is love, in luciel’s voice.

when the filming ends, and the boy thanks everyone for a successful filming, luciel smiles. wondering when it would be released, when it would be heard, and when a certain cruel friend would listen to it.

[lucielxbe]

vybe mission 5

in a blink of an eye, they’re filming for their next comeback. time used to move slower for luciel, and now the seasons became warmer before he realises. he wonders if he blinks again, the beginnings of winter would be right in front of his eyes.

two newer songs to be recorded. ‘countdown’; another refreshing pop sort of song that fits the vibe of vybe, seems like it’s perfect for the summer season, and a pretty nice song for a summery slice of life anime, luciel thought to himself. then there’s ‘lucky to be loved’, mellower tunes to listen to in the cooling shades, with the sunlight peeking through softly.

it’s yet another routine of practicing for the song, dance and vocals. then recording and film. all in between schedules of attending other programs like begin again, and then busan one asia festival. luciel practices a personality befitting of their summery songs; lively, innocent, and refreshing. with this persona, he practices until it matches the mood of the songs.

he’s an idol, whether or not he likes the songs is another thing — he should be capturing the essence of the song and deliver a perfect performance; for the sake of the company, his groupmates, and the fans. and so he smiles, “our new songs? it’s addictive, the kind where you’ll want to listen to over and over again after the first listen. it’s been stuck in my head the entire month~”

[lucielxbe]

“even so, we worked hard to get into lime, didn’t we?” luciel reassures the older boy. it’s true that being in a big company comes with great advantages, and the expectations placed on vybe — lime’s first boy group in a long while, was really high. the training doesn’t stops at debut, it continues forevermore. “the reviews has been decently positive thus far, our efforts will pay off.”

he laughs along with the jokes they were making. “hey…! well! you’re not wrong, people’s eyes are always on you. there’s some sort of charm you have on you~” noel is vybe’s center for a reason, after all. “if i was a fan huh~? hmm… i think you’ll be my bias then, you have a nice smile.” luciel throws him a slightly cheeky grin while saying that.

lucielxbe

"big... i believe we're decent enough?" luciel throws a soft chuckle. he hasn't been looking at social media much, or ego-surfing and all that. he's never been an internet guy... though the social media workshop he took months ago was eye-opening. attending and squeezing in those monthly workshops paid off. when noel takes a step back, luciel looks at him from head to toe, then gives a thumbs up to the older boy. "fresh and attractive," he comments. just like their concept. "professionals always have an eye for detail, though... these styles of clothing still takes a while to get used to," he laughs lightly again when he hears what noel said next. "but will i remain your bias forever?" a tease.

“i suppose there’s advantages to being lime’s first boy group in some time” noel shrugs “but we did work hard for our debut, so it does feel deserving to be here” noel nods. noel was aware they had an advantage even before debuting, debuting under a big company, but noel wanted to make sure that people liked them for being talented, and not simply because they were under lime.

“the professionals know what they’re doing” noel nods “i always thought i did my make up well, but they just do it so much better” they also definitely styled him better, but noel usually didn’t care much for what he wore. “you’ll be my bias until i look in the mirror, then i’ll see someone even prettier” a laugh escapes noel’s lips “sorry~ we’re both pretty! if i was a fan of vybe i’d have trouble choosing a bias” he nods his head.

[lucielxbe]

luciel thinks about the potential hashtags to be used in the post… maybe a ‘01z’ or something? he’ll take a look at their other post captions to reference from later. he hasn’t been online that much, significantly lesser ever since debut. he’s never been the kind of person to linger on social media that much, anyway.

he poses with a thumbs up, angling his face in a way he was told that looked the best, and then a half heart on his cheek as his second pose while giving the perfect, shining smile. luciel notices that posing for the camera comes more naturally to him now, and that bit of stiff awkwardness is slowly fading away. “how did they turned out?” he asks as his eyes continues to look at the phone, waiting for haneul to show the pictures.

the boy stretches a little, then straightens his back. “do we have time to film a quick video?” he wonders out loud, trying to think about the recent video trends he’s been seeing around. of course, nothing much comes to mind. “a short video would be engaging… so something fun? before we switch out of these outfits.”

he also moves to stand facing the mirror, glad that he had waited to come back to their waiting room before he had asked to take the pictures together. he hadn't even thought about freshening up a little before taking the pictures so he's glad that luciel had done so for him to follow suit.

quietly reaching up to fix his hair a little, adjusting his bangs so they'll look optimal in their selca(s) together, haneul grins at his friend and grabs some tissues to blot the sweat off of his forehead. "we have to! i haven't checked online to see what's popular within the group but i personally think we need to push the 01 line more," he says with mock seriousness, nodding grimly.

"i think they should?" he says, unsure actually because he hasn't really been keeping track of what has been posted and what hasn't so far. he probably should check online and see if their fans are happy with the content they've been given so far.

either way, it would be good content to be posted at some point in time, even if it's not right away. he shifts, getting his phone and then moving to stand next to luciel, immediately throwing up a peace sign once he's turned the front camera on, letting the other vybe member pose before snapping the first picture.

HANBIN ☆ BLUE @ MUSIC CORE 250301

[lucielxbe]

“oh? sure~” luciel answers as he quickly gulps down some water, to stay hydrated after the stage on busan asia one festival. their stages has slowly been getting bigger, and so has their audiences. these are sights that he would never have thought he would be seeing. he wonders about their own concert one day, with a crowd filled with vybe fans.

he takes one look in the mirror, fixing his hair if there was any strange loose hairs flying around and checking if his makeup still looks decent after all that sweat — which yes, it still looked good. thanks to the makeup professionals for that! “that’s true~ let’s show off 01 line more,” luciel says with a laugh. “i wonder if they’ll actually post it later…? otherwise i’ll convince our manager a lot.” it’s not all the time the pictures gets posted.

luciel wonders what kind of pose should he be doing. maybe a thumbs-up for an ‘otsukare!’ kind of thing? it’s not too old-fashioned, right? or so he thinks.

* zero one

a vybe mission starter for @lucielxbe

being able to perform at prestigious events like the busan asia one festival is something that he had never really imagined he would be able to do. perhaps it's because his dreams had been shattered a few years earlier from his old company dissolving, but it's something that hadn't even been on his dreams list when he had been thinking about how he wanted his career to go in the future.

but this feels different. the cheers of the fans when they step onto the stage, and hearing the fanchants as they perform their debut song is such a crazy experience that haneul wishes they could do this more.

maybe one day they would be able to hold their own concert in a big stadium like this.

"let's take a selfie together," haneul says, finding luciel backstage once they've finished performing.

"we need to promote the 01 line more," he adds, grinning once he's gotten his phone from their manager. "and fans love getting backstage stuff, especially if they recognize our outfits from the performance!"

[lucielxbe]

"big... i believe we're decent enough?" luciel throws a soft chuckle. he hasn't been looking at social media much, or ego-surfing and all that. he's never been an internet guy... though the social media workshop he took months ago was eye-opening. attending and squeezing in those monthly workshops paid off.

when noel takes a step back, luciel looks at him from head to toe, then gives a thumbs up to the older boy. "fresh and attractive," he comments. just like their concept. "professionals always have an eye for detail, though... these styles of clothing still takes a while to get used to," he laughs lightly again when he hears what noel said next. "but will i remain your bias forever?" a tease.

looking good

there was so much going on now that noel had debuted, his schedule hadn’t gotten the slightest bit slower or empty, it was practice after practice, and then they had other stuff than practice to do as well. noel was enjoying it all, having fun with dancing this much, and though the fansigns had slowed down, they still had time to interact with fans, like at music festivals.

“i can’t lie, it surprises me we’re joining 2025’s myk festa kpop concert, it feels like we just debuted, are we really big enough to perform here?” he tilts his head to the side as he talks to luciel ( @lucielxbe ) . “how do i look by the way?” he takes a step back “i still have to get used to being styled by someone else, though i’d say, professionals definitely do my make up better than i do it myself” he pouts “you look good though, if i was a fan seeing you like this, you’d instantly become my bias”.

[lucielxbe]

playing games with him, toying with his dark heart. they’re not entirely in a private place, so luciel suppresses the urge to get even closer. at some other part of his brain, he still makes sure that there’s no other eyes on them. “say congratulations to me?” he asks, pleads almost.

it was a childish promise made a few months ago, and yet baek seonghan kept it. a silly promise, with memories of a heated bite. it’s all healed up on his neck by now… what a pity. it was only a wound that could heal, and not a scar that could fade.

the boy listens to those simple compliments. he’s expected this, and yet he couldn’t help but to smile at those empty praises. it’s so seonghan-like of him - to fulfil a promise heartlessly as cruelty spills from his lips, with that pretty face.

it starts falling on deaf ears as luciel fixates his gaze on seonghan’s face a little too much. he’ll probably point that out later, make fun of it perhaps. luciel only snaps out of it with the sudden question. he blinks again at that. “you… want me to leave?” he asks softly. “if i stayed, would you stay with me then?” this and that doesn’t makes sense; but when has their relationship ever made sense?

“if i leave, you’ll leave…” luciel starts mumbling to himself. seonghan mentioned it before, about leaving him in the darkness. but he looks good in the dark, right? no one else can see him that way. he’ll coil a little chain around his ankle, let seonghan wait for him in the shadows, so when luciel returns from the light - seonghan would be there to greet him.

“but even if i leave, i’ll come back to you.”

seonghan doesn't hold anything sacred—there's nothing in this world that's worth a sacrilegious meaning to someone like him. at the end of the day, there's nothing tangible forcing him to stay where he is, surrounded by excited fans eager to see the faces of rookie entertainers destined to take the world by storm. still, seonghan chooses to fulfill the promise that he made with luciel, despite there being no obligation for him to.

he doesn't have the passion required to comment on the performance, too many bright lights directed towards the stage, blinding him. seonghan is a consumer by default, no accolades of his own to critique or compliment what he's watching and listening to. there's a cascade of warm colors over their heads, orange and yellow mixed into one with a dash of green; what he assumes is a dynamic entrance into the industry coupled with a playful greeting.

how fitting, seonghan thinks as he listens to the loud cheers of the audience, welcoming them with open arms. a spotlight hangs over each member, landing on luciel eventually, the boy who managed to wrestle his way out of the dark and into the light.

and yet, seonghan remains, shrouded by the shadows. like he always was, always will be.

luciel has no reason to, but he'll seek seonghan out again tonight. this time, seonghan finds him beforehand, faced with the back of his childhood friend in an area too secluded for a rookie idol. just then, his phone vibrates in his pocket—so he picks it up and says, "looking for me?"

seeing the other boy surprised isn't anything new, it's something he keeps pulling out of luciel, to an almost unhealthy degree. "do you need my congratulations?" he retorts back, kickstarting yet another game of cat and mouse in the form of verbal conversation. he smiles, elusive as ever, returning his phone to his pocket. "someone made me promise, so i came."

what else is there to say? regardless, luciel looks at him as if he's searching—craving—for seonghan's approval. "it was a really bright and energetic stage. everyone seem to be enjoying themselves." generic words, generic compliments.

"are you going to leave me behind for the stage, too?" he questions with a smile, followed by the crinkle of a soft laugh. "it suits you."

[lucielxbe]

luciel is still studying amongst his idol activities, but nothing much has changed. he still can study online, and submit his work online. he's long since quitted his only part-time job since before joining project green. he wonders if images of him during his part-time job would surface sometime soon... maybe it's already floating around, who knows? the internet is a scary place.

"i can hear it well, it's OK~" luciel makes an OK sign with his hand. he's getting used to being called by his birth name during his idol activities, but it's still going to take some time to get used to being referred as that by his groupmates. "nervous for later?"

vybewave ♰⸝⸝ for @noelxbe

it has truly been busy, the amount of workload is horrendous, there’s hardly much time to work on hobbies and all that. they can’t afford it, especially since they recently debuted. life goes on nevertheless, it’s just been busier now. the life of being on stage, facing the camera almost all the time—something luciel has thought about in the past few months, became real. he’s used to smiling, at the very least. amongst music show promotions, fansigns and photoshoots; vybe is part of a lineup for the trendwave concert in incheon. it’s a little different than music shows, but it’s the same— rehearsals, and then the actual concert later on during the day. “is the mic working, hello~?” luciel speaks into his mic. “noe- wook, is it working?” he turns to him. it’s still odd to call him by another name now, after all those months of being together.

noel honestly wasn’t aware how busy idol life would be. noel had always been a busy man, originally handling school and multiple jobs, then school, trainee life and multiple jobs, then it switched to work and trainee life. when noel joined project green, he said goodbye to his part-time jobs, thinking then he would be less busy, but no, he had basically been more busy. there wasn’t much time to relax, especially now that they had debuted, it was schedule after schedule.

noel turns to luciel, almost runs a hand through his hair until he remembers it’s been styled and he can’t ruin that. “it’s working fine lu-, uh jihyun” noel still hasn’t gotten completely used to the stage names. a lot of people call noel ‘wook’, though he usually prefers noel, he figures from now on, he’ll hear even more ‘wook’s. “and what about mine jihyun? one, two, three, does it sound fine?”.

[lucielxbe]

shadows around the spotlight ♰⸝⸝ for @beseonghan

their first debut stage was over, just like that. singing, dancing, and smiling for the world to witness. it’s hurting luciel’s head in a strange way — the dopamine, perhaps? it’s odd. his hands are trembling ever so slightly as he looks back at the audience, leaving the stage with the rest of the vybe members. his eyes looks for someone in particular; luciel knows where he is, he saw him, but he wants to talk to him. he knows he’s being a little greedy, but so what?

was i great? was i good? did you liked it? what did you think of me?

a call. luciel needs to call seonghan, desperately. after debut celebrations are over, after the staff and fellow trainees congratulated them and all, when they have the slightest bit of time… luciel calls seonghan.

his dear, childhood friend.

when the line goes through, luciel’s eyes almost shines. “seonghan—” then he pauses at what comes after. he hears seonghan’s voice through the phone, and then right behind him. luciel turns around, dumbfounded and shocked. oh, right. of course he could come in here. usually he would had furrowed his eyebrows, say something along the lines of: are you making fun of me, by picking up my call even though you’re here?

but right now, he could say nothing about that. luciel unconsciously closes the distance, tilts his head slightly and presses his lips. “you came.” if luciel ever had dog traits on him, his tail would had been wagging to no end. “are you going to congratulate me?”

[lucielxbe]

a blink of surprise at the sudden change of directions. luciel initially doesn’t feels too steady about it, narrowing his eyes ever so slightly. yet he quickly adapts to the new pace, relaxing his stiffened muscles.

he’s been thrown a barrage of questions; a clearly, vehement attempt at not just peeking into his life, but to understand. luciel briefly entertains the thought of answering every question.

“my name… i thought it was pretty,” luciel hums. there’s nothing too special about it. he looked into an english book, and there happened to be a character with the name luciel. that is all there is to it. “did you forgot about my korean name? it’s ji-hyun…~” he enunciates. it’s not a secret that he chooses to go by his english name.

then he glances into hansol’s eyes. “contradictory, you say… haha. i suppose i am.” but for how much hansol is trying, he feels a little pitiful for the other boy.

just a little. “it’s just associated with someone who makes fun of me. i won’t tell you who, though.”

“uh-uh. you don’t get to do that.”

hansol tightens his hold on luciel’s hands and swivels them in a half-circle so luciel’s now the one skating backwards. it’s a more difficult maneuver since he won’t be able to see where he’s going, but that’s the point. you’ll have to trust me, it’s meant to say.

“i told you a looot ‘bout me, so now it’s your turn.”

a glint in his eyes is the only warning he gives before he starts pushing luciel to go faster, all while rapid-firing questions.

“why is your name luciel? what does it mean? est-ce français? is that a name you were given, or do you have a korean one too? why is thinking a luxury to you? what is it that you don’t wanna think about? aren’t you being a little contradictory? you say you don’t dare to think about it, but you’re wearing scents as a reminder. so which is it?”

hansol abruptly stops. the momentum brings him a step too close.

“and what’s your deal with rain?”

[lucielxbe]

seonghan looks tired, even more than usual. it’s expected that idol training is draining, even for someone like him. somehow, luciel feels a pleasant surprise seeing this kind of look. “oh, that… mmh, sort of?” he’s not completely lying, he does have chocolate leftovers for other people. he doesn’t talks about how he used his precious, free time to make these chocolates just for him. seonghan wouldn’t believe him, anyway. he’ll just make fun of him. because he’s cruel and foolish.

then the smile on luciel’s lips twitches just a little, barely noticeable—to the regular person, that is. it’s not going to miss seonghan’s eyes, whenever the boy leans into his ears for a whisper, there’s some sort of power his voice has over luciel. his beautiful, soft voice that never matches his venomous words.

whispers that would jolt luciel awake, or lull him into deep slumber like a lullaby. this time it’s the former. if he was a character in a manga, there would’ve been a small blush drawn on one of his cheeks.

“i’m always thinking about-” then the words dies in his throat. luciel blinks, did he heard that right? he looks into seonghan’s eyes and starts squinting.

i’m not the first? who else would give you chocolates…?

“… you have admirers?” he questions. an honest, yet absolutely senseless question. luciel sounds dumbfounded. “here? you’ve charmed others already?” as he continues going on asking, he’s starting to look even more aghast, as if a cold bucket of water dumped on his head.

what the hell, why is he so… affected by this?

luciel presses his lips into a line, resisting himself from frowning ( of course, it doesn’t works ). “ever the popular baek seonghan…” he mumbles with a heavy heart. crossing his arms, he takes a glance at the little box on seonghan’s hand, then returns his gaze to seonghan’s face.

in a serious tone, he comments, “at the very least, mine has to be the most delicious.”

there’s nothing special about valentine’s season. seonghan never understood the tradition, at least when it came to himself. the concept of a month ( or two, counting white day ) to celebrate love never appealed to someone like seonghan, who viciously trampled on what he thought could be love. a few years ago, he tried it—held the belief that maybe, with that experience, he could learn what it meant, what it felt like. essentially, he used a person as an experiment; of course it didn’t go well.

for seonghan, it would’ve been just another day. nothing out of the ordinary, hours spent training for a dream he doesn’t quite have. he expected this outcome, finding no trouble falling into this habit of constant rehearsals, a new schedule to adhere to. that’s how his day was meant to play out, until it was disrupted by a voice calling out to him—oh, it sounds a little more eager than usual. what could be the special occasion?

at another time, seonghan could’ve pretended to have missed the sound, carrying on towards wherever he was headed. today though, luciel was louder, the soft-spoken voice he keeps leveled reaching an unusual height. it’s enough to make seonghan stop in his tracks, allowing luciel to cross the short distance between them. eventually, he finds luciel taking his hand, presenting him with a box, a bit more decorated than he expected it to be.

“giri choco,” seonghan repeats, followed by an amused hum that luciel must be familiar with. “then i can assume you’ve prepared these for all your friends, haven’t you?” he questions pointedly, that same smile etched onto his face, despite his tired eyes. “it can’t be for just me, since you’ve collected a few friends along the way. what about your soon-to-be group members?” he asks, whispering to luciel’s ear—this is still somewhat of a secret, after all. not everyone can know. “did you give them any?”

seonghan pulls away, accepting the chocolates. “how sweet of you, to always be thinking of me,” he replies in a manner that doesn’t reveal whether he believes luciel’s words or not, keeping the other boy guessing. never allowing any certainty. “unfortunately, you aren’t the first,” seonghan lies with a smile. “it’s already the middle of the day, if you wanted to be my first… aren’t you a little late?”

[lucielxbe]

luciel understands the sentiment, as much as he enjoys partaking into reading as a hobby, it’s time consuming. he’s someone who reads quickly, and even quicker when he was younger—but life eventually catches up as an adult, and luciel finds himself reading slower than when he was a youthful boy. even more slower now, as a trainee. he still doesn’t wants to lose his reading habits though, so he tries to spend some time reading, at the very least.

he nods along to the girl’s words, “reading does gives you a lot of knowledge, even odd facts sometimes.” when he thinks about it, he does has random bits of unusual information stored in his brain. “english…? are you not from here?” he blinks.

“writing is difficult indeed,” luciel agrees. “at the very least, you tried. i believe it doesn’t hurts to try again, especially if the inspiration hits. or you could write down some drafts, and improve it over time, maybe ask your friends for their opinions too?” he tries to give some uplifting words to the girl. “is your brother into the arts, then?”

lucielxbe

“truthfully, i’ve read most of the books here…” luciel eyes the shelf once more, glancing over the familiar titles. this is when it makes him realise that oh, he does read a lot…? it doesn’t occurs to him how much he’s read, luciel doesn’t keeps a book tracker of the sorts. “so please, go ahead with taking that one. i hope you enjoyed it as much as i did,” he returns the smile. it’s not a bad feeling to have someone take his recommendations. the boy nods as he listens to a fellow book lover’s talk. luciel doesn’t reads much romance, but he’s also not foreign to stories that aren’t completely happy. “alright, i’ll keep those titles in mind then, wuthering heights isn’t a very happy story either, haha~” “i suppose i did tried to write before, back when i had a little more time but… it’s hard, to write nice stories,” luciel laughs softly. “i’m not a very creative person, but i did thought about publishing a book of the sorts when i was younger.”

“ah i wish i had more time to read” she nods a bit “if i had the time i would be through all of the books here as well, sadly school takes up a lot of time” she shrugs. “but it’s a hobby i’m glad to have, you learn a lot from books, even the fictional ones” she hums. “i’m a slow reader though, especially when i read in korean, english is still somehow easier for me”. “i’ll take this one home with me then… thank you for the recommendation, i’ll be looking forward to reading it” she shows a smile to the stranger.

“i’m the same, i love books so i wanted to write my own, i’m not creative though and the end result… well… totally sucked to be honest, none of it made sense” she pouts. “my brother is the creative one out of us, perhaps he’d be able to write one” noel had always been more creative than ria. “it’s harder than it seems to be honest, but attempting to write my own book made me appreciate books even more, there’s put a lot into writing just one book”.
