“i know that we don’t know each other very well. of course, um, i visit the bakery when you’re there, but i only stop in when you’re there. i- i go just to see you, siwon, because. because i like you. not just as a friend, but as more than that. i know you’re going through a lot right now and it’s more than okay if you don’t feel the same, i don’t want you to feel like you have to say yes, but i’d really like to take you on a date when you’re able to leave the hospital.” his words are overflowing into each other as he tries to get it out without pausing, worried that if he stops to think about then he’ll cut himself off to think better about making things awkward with a friend. he glances at the boy and looks away just as quick before saying, “only if you want to, of course.”

“don’t say that. if you were my nurse, i’d probably get injured on purpose just to spend some time with you,” he laughs, but his cheerful expression quickly morphs into a grimace. right. his injuries are healing quite nicely, according to seojin, but the bruises that litter his body still hurt too much for him to move around a lot. “kidding,” he groans and manages to crack a slight smile, “once i get out of here, i don’t plan on coming back. not this year, at least. you never know what next year might have in store for me, but i’m hoping for less explosions.” both of them fall silent after that, and for the first time in a while, siwon doesn’t feel the need to fill the silence with endless rambling about useless facts his brain stored over the years.

all he wants to do is stare at the boy next to him and engrave every little detail into his brain so he never forgets it again. but that is silly because siwon doesn’t think he could forget his face, even if he tried. just friends, his brain reminds him, to which his heart stutters in protest—or maybe it’s the way kai says his name that makes his heart skip a beat. he doesn’t get much time to think about it because the mermaid is talking to him again, and his eyebrows knit together in worry when he refuses to look at him. the words that rapidly roll off kai’s tongue, however, make him think twice about opening his mouth and asking him if everything’s alright, and it takes his brain a moment to comprehend what he’s trying to tell him.

“you... like me?” he asks quietly. “you like me as more than a friend and you want to go on a date with me.” it sounds more like a statement this time, and siwon can’t help but chuckle. “wow, this better not be some cruel prank because i’ve had a crush on you ever since the first time you walked through the doors of the bakery.” the confession falls from his mouth with such ease that it takes him by surprise. his eyes search for kai’s, and the pixie carefully looks for any signs the other is just messing around with him, but doesn’t find any. of course he doesn’t; kai doesn’t seem like the type to play with someone’s feelings. “i don’t think i have to say this, but i— i would love to do go on a date with you when i get out of here.”

tw! mentions of death.

“you know,” siwon says when they’re sitting on the couch in his living room one evening, “you’re the only one who hasn’t signed my cast.” it’s half a lie. there’s plenty of people in amaranthine who haven’t gotten around to signing his cast, but in terms of the ones that matter to him the most, kai is the only one he hasn’t asked yet. with a little less elegance than he would’ve liked, the artist plops down his leg on the other boy’s lap. it’s a decision he regrets almost immediately and a grimace twists his features.

“be careful,” kai chides him, gently lifting up his leg to put a pillow under it. “sorry,” siwon mumbles and passes his boyfriend the marker when he holds out his hand. the fond smile on the mermaid’s face ties his stomach into knots and his tongue into mush. he doesn’t think he’s ever felt this way about anyone before.

always too busy. never any time for breaks.

he doesn’t realize he’s staring until kai’s voice snaps him out of him, “siwon?” to which he eloquently responds with, “huh, what?” it earns him a hearty chuckle that colours his cheeks a soft shade of red. “i asked if you’re ready.” his confusion must be apparent because kai looks at him with an amused smile and points at the television screen before elaborating, “for the movie.” all siwon can do in response is nod, and if his boyfriend thinks he’s acting ridiculous, he doesn’t say so, for which he is incredibly thankful.

except he isn’t ready. at all.

“this is boring,” he sighs halfway through the movie, grabbing a handful of popcorn and shoving it into his mouth all at once. it isn’t very charming, but he’s at home and his leg hurts like hell, so siwon thinks he deserves a bit of a break.

kai raises an eyebrow as he turns to look at him and pauses the movie. “didn’t you pick this one though?”

siwon shrugs. “yeah. i wanted to watch something i’d never seen before, but i don’t think i made the right choice.”

“we can watch a different movie,” kai suggests. he doesn’t seem too bothered about switching off the movie for another one, and siwon thinks that he could kiss him right then and there. but he doesn’t. someone like kai deserve a first kiss more special than an awkward one on the dingy, old couch him and siyeon found on the sidewalk one day. hey, beggars can’t be choosers.

the pixie’s face lights up. “can we watch arrietty? it’s my favourite movie, but i haven’t seen it in years.” 

“really?” kai asks, sounding surprised.

“yeah,” siwon replies. “i love studio ghibli in general. their movies are what inspired me to start the web comic i’m working on right now. i— i could show you sometime, if you’d like.”

his boyfriend responds enthusiastically, and he feels himself relax in relief. while he isn’t shy about sharing his art with others, the web comic is a project he posted under an alias and only a handful of people know he’s behind it. the thought of showing kai his most ambitious work to date makes him feel a little nervous. “now i’m curious,” the boy in question says, “how did you get into art?”

“my mom was a painter,” siwon answers him truthfully. his parents are a sensitive topic and one he usually dodges when it’s brought up, but he feels comfortable enough around kai to share this with him. “i watched her paint a lot when i was younger, and i remember being fascinated by all the pretty colours on her canvas.”

hesitation flickers in kai’s eyes before he opens his mouth again, “where are your parents? if you don’t mind me asking.”

“they’re dead,” siwon says quietly. he notices the regret on the mermaid’s face and stops him before he can apologize. “it’s okay. it’s been a long time, i don’t mind talking about it.” but both of them fall silent after that, until he picks up the remote and shoots a gentle smile kai’s way, “let’s just watch the movie.”

they don’t talk much during the movie. it isn’t a comfortable silence, and siwon feels bad for the way they left off the conversation. he doesn’t want kai to feel guilty for asking an innocent question—a question anyone would’ve asked because he knows it isn’t common for a twenty year old to be living alone with his baby sister. point is, his boyfriend couldn’t have known and he wants him to understand he isn’t upset.

“hey,” siwon starts when the credits are rolling, “i have a question.” kai looks over at him curiously and he lets out a chuckle, “this might be a little weird, but if your childhood had a smell, what would it be?” definitely weird.

and, yeah, kai didn’t see that question coming, but it doesn’t take long before a smile blossoms on his lips. “the ocean,” he answers without hesitation. siwon hums and nods his head. of course. his boyfriend is a mermaid, he should’ve known the answer to that question himself. “i’ve never been to the beach,” he confesses instead, a tad embarrassed. “i’ve only ever seen the ocean on tv. siyeon’s been begging me to take her though.”

“no way,” kai exclaims, eyes widening in surprise. “i’ll have take you someday. we can take a trip when we both have some time off— if you’d like to, i mean. we don’t have to.” now it’s the mermaid’s turn to look away from him shyly, and siwon can’t stop the corners of his mouth from curling into a large grin.

“i think i’d like that a lot.”

thinking about the high probability of rejection makes his nerves rise up in his throat again. he doesn’t want to ruin their possible friendship by telling the boy he likes him, but what if he gets hurt again and kai loses his chance altogether or loses siwon altogether before he can say anything at all? no, he has to do this today. kai takes a deep breath to strengthen his resolve. “i am really glad to see you. i saw you while you were sleeping of course, but it was scarier to see you like that i think,” he says, his smile turning sad, “at least i know you were out of your coma then. i just didn’t realize how, um, important you are to me until i couldn’t see you anymore, you know?”

guilt settles deep in the pit of his stomach when kai answers his jokes with sincerity, the boy’s voice carrying a note of concern—for him, he silently notes. “i’m sorry,” is the quiet response that slips from his mouth. “i feel bad for worrying you. i didn’t mean to.” but that’s all he has been doing lately, hasn’t he? the artist didn’t purposely get caught in the blast, and he couldn’t have predicted what was going to happen that night. none of them could have. siwon knows he got lucky; if he had been standing a little bit more to the right, his injuries most likely would have been fatal, but that’s something he doesn’t want to dwell on for too long. while he has been blessed with the gift of immortality, death is something he has come to fear greatly since the passing of his parents.

“the note?” siwon asks, and his face lights up. “oh— yes! i did get your note. i have it right here.” he pulls out a piece of paper stuck in the back of his sketchbook, a fond smile spreading across his features as he reads the words written on it again. “i was sad when siyeon told me you stopped by while i was asleep,” he says, looking up at kai. and he shyly follows it up with, “i really wanted to see you. i missed having you around, so i’m glad you’re here.” chuckling softly, he puts down the sketchbook and the note next to him and carefully scoots over to make room on the bed. “you can sit down if you want to. i promise i don’t bite,” he tells kai, patting the mattress. truthfully, he just wants the other close to him, but even after a near death experience, he’s still too nervous to say it out loud.

a frown creases his brow when kai continues talking. siwon doesn’t dare to ask in what way he means it when he says he’s important, and his fear of rejection arises once again. “i know,” he answers softly, “you’re important to me too.” and it is in that moment he decides that if kai doesn’t reciprocate his feelings, he’d be content just being friends. “i’m sorry you had to see me like that though. i can’t imagine what that must have been like for you.” except he can—very vividly so, but that is a secret he keeps for another day. “i’ll try not to get injured again. no promises though.”

kindness is often found in places you least expect it.

amaranthine isn’t meant to become a home, but when they offer him comfort and safety in a time where he most needs it, he comes to the realization that this might be the place he has always longed for. it scares him as much as it excites him. his plan was never to stay, but to leave when he has enough money saved up to return to college or if he finds a job that is safer and pays about the same amount—whichever comes first.

being hospital bound gave him a lot of time to think—a lot more than he would’ve liked, and while he sometimes finds himself roaming the dark corners of his mind he hasn’t visited in years, he spends most of his time preoccupied by thoughts of people who have only been a part of his life for a couple of months. and yet they mean so much to him. it doesn’t fully hit him until he sets foot outside for the first time in weeks, accompanied by seojin.

well, not literally. with both his right arm and his left leg out of commission for the time being, he isn’t setting his feet anywhere. but that isn’t important right now. siwon looks up at the fallen angel and smiles. his first impression of the man doesn’t match his opinion of him now, and he can’t help but think how grateful he is to have met him, especially knowing how hard he fought to keep him alive. and not just him, but the others as well.

fuck. he owes seojin his life, doesn’t he?

siwon doesn’t mention it. instead he enthusiastically points out a bird in a tree and the clouds in the sky with the brightest smile he can muster, only to pout seconds later because he forgot to take his sketchbook outside with him. they talk about everything and nothing, and if seojin notices the tears in the corners of his eyes, he doesn’t mention it. and for that he is grateful as well.

“wait,” he speaks up, right as they’re about to go back inside again. “can we— god, this is gonna sound stupid.” siwon laughs, “but can we maybe take a picture together before you lock me in my room again?” a soft shade of red spreads across his cheeks, and his blush only grows when the medic agrees. 

“thank you,” he says softly, after taking the picture, “it’s just— it’s been such a nice day, all things considered. i don’t want to forget.”

he swallows the rest of the truth. that the hospital brings back memories he tucked away in the back of his mind when he was but a child is something he isn’t willing to share. not right now. and admitting he needs something tangible to ground him whenever he feels himself slipping again seems like an incredibly lame thing to admit. siwon quietly saves the selfie, and his lips stretch into a wide grin when he looks back up at the angel.

“alright, doc, let’s roll! i think it’s time for my nap.”

kai’s going to tell siwon that he likes him. he has to. after siwon went into a coma, he regretted not telling him and he wouldn’t waste more time on it. he just hopes he won’t ruin their slowly blossoming friendship by confessing to the boy. regardless, he straightens his shirt and knocks on the door before peaking his head in. “it’s me– um, it’s kai!” he says with a soft smile, taking a more confident step into the room.

being confined to a hospital bed isn’t how he imagined to spend the majority of the month of may, but life is unpredictable, and sometimes you have to make the best of what is thrown at you. siyeon jokingly tells him he has no excuse not to work on his portfolio now, but both of them quickly come to the realization that none of his work is likely to be presentable enough with his right hand out of commission for the time being. ever the optimist, siwon quips that maybe he’ll come out of this situation as ambidextrous, but when his sister leaves, his happy demeanour deflates like a balloon with a slow leak.

he misses sleeping in his own bed and waking up to the scent of freshly brewed coffee, he misses the friendly faces of the elderly couple at the bakery and the bell that chimes every time a customer enters the shop, and above all, he misses gazing up at the stars from rooftops of high buildings. there is something else he misses—or rather, someone else. his heart beats a little faster every time he thinks about him, and while he tries not to let his mind wander too often, it’s difficult not to think about the cute boy who comes into the bakery every once in a while when he doesn’t have much to distract himself with.

the artist is disappointed when he finds out kai came to visit him while he was asleep, and it only grows when he doesn’t come see him again. siwon gets his hopes up every time someone knocks on his door, only to be let down when he finds out it isn’t the person he wants to see. it’s stupid, he knows. if his memory serves him correctly, it’s midterm season, so of course his crush is too busy to visit him right now. 

that doesn’t stop him from pouting about it though.

“come in,” siwon calls out when he hears a knock on the door. he’s seated in bed, with a sketchbook in his lap and a pencil in his left hand, attempting to draw the flowers on the table next to him. his expectations to see kai are non existent at this point, and he’s surprised to find the very person he’s been hoping to see when he lifts his eyes from the paper to the door. “kai,” he says, voice growing softer, as it always does in the other’s presence. “i almost thought you had forgotten about me,” he jokes, followed by an embarrassed chuckle. “kidding. i’m— i’m really glad you came to see me. you didn’t have to.”

     took your advice and did the 𝒐𝒑𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒊𝒕𝒆,               just being young and 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐩𝐢𝐝.

date: may 24 - may 30. trigger warning: mentions of death.

luck has always been on his side, but when he’s told he is lucky to be alive and that he is expected to make a full recovery, siwon finds himself unable to agree. he should feel lucky he didn’t lose his life in the attack, but instead it is fear that wraps around his heart until he feels he can no longer breathe. the reality of the danger he put himself in by joining a gang finally sinks in, as does the realization he could’ve left his sister without both her parents and her brother. fear quickly turns into guilt, and he wonders if he should leave amaranthine when he gets out of the hospital, before something worse can happen to him.

something he can’t recover from.

as desperate as he is for money, putting his life on the line doesn’t seem worth it, and he’s going to run out of excuses to tell siyeon sooner or later. if she’s suspicious of the story he tells her, she doesn’t say so, but maybe that’s because she’s too busy wetting his hospital gown with her tears. “sorry i missed your birthday,” he mumbles with a weak smile. she responds by hitting him in the chest and calling him an idiot, only to apologize profusely a second later when he grimaces in pain. he laughs at that, but soon realizes just how exhausted he still is, even after weeks of being asleep. and with the promise he’ll make it up to her as soon as he’s released, he feels himself drifting off to sleep again. 

siyeon returns the next day. she picks up a note that he doesn’t remember being there the previous day and smirks as she hands it over to him. get well soon ♡, it reads. “kai came to visit you yesterday.” and before he can say anything, she tells him, “he didn’t want to wake you up, so he left you this note.” his sister only laughs when he turns his head in an attempt to hide the blush that dusts his cheeks and he tries to reason with his heart that kai is just being a good friend and there is no need for it to beat as erratically as it does. after all, boys like kai don’t fall for boys like him.

another four days come and go, and it doesn’t take long for him to get bored of being stuck in a hospital bed, even if he spends most of his time asleep. seojin and iseul are faces he grows accustomed to seeing on a daily basis, especially the former, who he is convinced hasn’t left the hospital since the incident. he doesn’t dare ask if the man has even slept since then, scared of the answer he might get. a question he does ask is who else had been injured and feels his stomach turn at the names that are given to him: hana and somin.

he pays the women a visit, despite that he isn’t too familiar with either, and leaves both of them with sketches to make their rooms seem a little less depressing and the promise he’ll return another day, using the excuse he needs to practice drawing with his left hand more. it is half a lie, but neither of them need to know that he feels lonely and trapped every time he returns to his own room, and that the pristine white walls of the hospital remind of the day his parents died. and if his signature smile falters for the first time in seven years, no one is there to witness it. 

it is after hyunae visits him, he realizes the family he’s been longing for has been in front of him all along. amaranthine has shown him nothing but kindness in the past couple of days—no, in the past few weeks. they took care of him without hesitation, worrying and fearing for his well being despite only having known him for months, and it is that realization that has tears flowing down his face in the dead of night. but he smiles. home has been an intangible concept since his parents passed away and after years of searching, he’s finally found a place where he belongs.

maybe he is lucky after all.

siwon looks at him with wide eyes and kai stares with wide eyes right back at him, until the brunette turns his head away and the older woman answers him instead. the mermaid nods at her with a small smile on his face, “thank you so much, i’ve been craving one of them! they were delicious when i had them last time.” he watches as the boy is shoved out from behind the counter and feels his heart stutter in his chest. most of the conversations they’ve had up until this point have been strictly related to food: pastries, vegan alternatives, favorite drinks. it didn’t help that kai was feeling more nervous than usual. when he was leaving school and buying his own strawberry milk to drink on his bike ride to the small bakery, he saw a peach milk sitting next to it and bought one of them too, remembering siwon saying it was one of his favorites.

now that he has time to speak with siwon one-on-one, he opens up his backpack and offers the drink to the boy. “i just, um,” kai mumbles as he tries to think of an excuse for randomly having his crushes favorite drink in his bag, “i pressed the wrong button on the vending machine! i wanted strawberry and bought peach on accident. but, i, um, remembered you like it… right?” he knows he’s right, every moment with siwon engrained in his memory, but he is not about to admit that to him. he shakes his head adamantly when siwon apologizes to him for bing too loud, “don’t apologize! i’m normally much louder than whenever i come here. i just turn my internal volume down because it always seems so peaceful. and, i don’t mind waiting. especially not if you’re waiting with me,” kai says with a wide smile, sounding more confident than he feels, “you always brighten up the place a bit. i was wondering where you were when i came in.”

his fingers accidentally brush kai’s when he reaches to accept the drink that is offered to him, colouring his cheeks a soft shade of pink. “you remember my favourite flavour of milk?” siwon asks curiously, eyes crinkling in delight as he looks down at the carton in his hands. the artist recalls mentioning it in passing, but he never thought his crush would store that tidbit of information somewhere in his mind. “thank you. i haven’t had this in months.” a gentle warmth spreads from his heart and through his chest. it’s a simple gesture, but no one has ever bothered to remember such trivialities about him before, with the exception of his sister. it means more than he could ever put into words.

“i can’t imagine you being loud. you’re always so soft-spoken,” he says honestly, amusement twinkling in his eyes. and then he laughs. “but you probably think the same of me.” confidence is something siwon possesses in abundance, never too shy to speak his mind or strike up a conversation with anyone coming into the bakery, but things never seem that easy around the other. “we can sit down, if you’d like. there’s plenty of seats to choose from,” he chuckles, gesturing to the tables behind them.

but kai’s next words stop him dead in his tracks. the boy with stars in his eyes and a smile that rivals the sun thinks he lights up the place? he must be dreaming. “really?” a small smile blossoms on his lips, and he turns his attention to the peach milk he’s holding, poking the straw through the hole as a brief distraction. “i’m not here on most days. i handle deliveries, but i help out behind the counter on days they need me to.” siwon beams up at the boy, showing a spark of courage. “but, y’know, i’m always hoping you’ll come through those doors. no offence to our other customers, but you’re one of the few people my age who visits this place. and... i really enjoy our conversations.”

🚼,📰,💍

not accepting!         ✂︎ —— get to know my muse ¸

🚼 - does your character have or want kids?

not likely. he’s only twenty years old right now, so that answer might change as he grows older. this also has a lot to do with the fact he currently has custody of his younger sister, and while he loves her very much, she’s a handful and he isn’t interested in raising any more children for the time being.

📰 - an obituary for your character was found in the local paper this morning. what did it say?

this isn’t mine, but siwon would write his own obituary and it’d be something along the lines of, ‘it pains me to admit it, but apparently, i have passed away. everyone told me it would happen one day but that's simply not something i wanted to hear, much less experience. once again i didn't get things my way! that's been the story of my life all my life.’

💍 - does your character wear any type of jewellery?

he mostly only wears earrings because he can’t afford to spend too much money.

🍰🌍😈

not accepting!         ✂︎ —— get to know my muse ¸

🍰 - what is their favourite type of dessert or sweet?

he has difficulty choosing one dessert, so anything that has blueberries or peaches in it is somewhere at the top of his list. his favourite changes about every week or so—or whenever he discovers something new.

🌎 - if money were no object, where would they live and what would they do with their life? 

siwon doesn’t care where he lives, as long as he’s surrounded by the people he loves and gets to be an artist. he doesn’t feel particularly connected to one place and would love to travel around the world someday because he’s never left the country before.

😈 - what’s your character’s favourite cuss word?

probably shit, but he tries not to curse too often.

⌚ & 🎃 & ⚠

not accepting!         ✂︎ —— get to know my muse ¸

⌚ - is your character punctual or procrastinator?

surprisingly, siwon can be very punctual. despite being quite chaotic, he shows up to work in time every day and has never missed an upload on his web comic. however, he isn’t the best student and when he was still in school, he’d often procrastinate because he knew he wasn’t going to get it done anyway—that he could have gotten it done if he had asked for help is a story for another day. so it depends on what he’s doing, i’d say!

🎃 - what is your character’s favourite holiday?

halloween, hands down! siwon loves everything horror, even though he’s the biggest scaredy-cat, so this is the perfect holiday for him. side note: he’s in charge of decorations at the bakery during halloween season, and they let him design the menu too. 

⚠ - what has your character almost done that made someone talk them out of or convince them not to do it?

jump off a building. siwon does not have any suicidal tendencies, but he likes to push his boundaries when it comes to his abilities and often comes up with the stupidest ideas to do so. however, this person was unfamiliar with him and his ridiculous stunts, and he felt so guilty for making them worry that he decided not to go through with it that day.
