Valerie senses his hesitance and bites: “You’re being kind.” He didn’t like people, he hadn’t back then, either. But she was getting way ahead of herself, surprised by the ease with which the conclusion had come, far too soon, too early. Unwelcome. An amiable smile wet with wine, sipping quietly. Even the sound of the man’s voice… what a haunting experience to live through, one that had the skin on her arms break out into goosebumps. For years you might smell someone on the clothes they left behind. You might have visions, dreams of them. The sound of someone’s voice, in flesh, is something no technology had been able to recreate entirely just yet.
“Touché.” Easier to let him think she was hiding than to reveal the cards so early in the game. Listens with genuine interest, seizing the opportunity to so blatantly stare at his familiar face while he speaks. “I’m afraid I have to disagree with you on that. History — yes, the way it is so commonly told. But Art can both glorify the past or crush it. It can make sense of it. Offer solace. Rip through us, inside out. I suppose at the end of the day it will still be an illusion.” Such pictures, were they trying to make sense of anything, or barely documenting? Perhaps in the display, in the holding of an event full of known faces, that’s when it all started to crumble. It felt plastic. “But what a beautiful one to experience.”
Han Se-joo. It suits you. She takes his hand without much delay, warming up to his touch. Writers have delicate, worn hands, much like those of painters — and his used to be stained in ink from changing the ink ribbons. Now laptops were a thing. “Valerie Clemence. I’m a writer as well, though I’ve been known to have many names.” A near feline smile spreads across her face, setting the wine glass on the bench and gracefully letting go of his hand. And should the name ring close to him or not, she’d know soon enough. “So, is there a set time you have to be here? When does the editor lift the curfew?”
Tumblr media
It was an almost impossible task to feel a kind of natural comfortableness around people, especially those that he did not know. Or maybe it was worse with those that he did know, it was hard to tell sometimes. Maybe he just didn’t fit it, his edges far too blunt, same as his words, to truly ever fit in. Or maybe he just didn’t make the effort to do so, or maybe once he did, but it backfired. Either way, she had his attention, and as she spoke, giving her own reasoning to his initial comment. Se-joo couldn’t help but nod absentmindedly, his eyes moving from her face up to the black and white images on the wall. She did have a point, he could understand where she came from. It was an interesting point of view, one that maybe he didn’t fully share, but he couldn’t disregard either way. 
                                                                “ Ah, a writer. ”
 He said knowingly, maybe that is why there was some ease with her, even though he couldn’t say the same thing with other writers. But he pushed that aside, he’d think about that later. “ Well, he looked down onto the watch on his wrist, for at least another half an hour, and then it can be seen as polite if I leave, I do have a deadline. ” The drink that he had placed on the bench where he sat, was forgotten until he saw the glass and took a small sip. “ I’ve met some writers from Europe, that come here to get inspired because their characters are in Korea or Asia, and so they need more face-to-face experience so that they know what to write about, is that the case with you or? ” The calm of their secluded conversation didn’t last long, it never did, as he heard his name being called somewhere behind their back. “ Se-joo, Han Se-joo, I’ve been looking everywhere… ” His agent almost ran towards the bench, stopping his mumble as soon as he saw that he was not alone. “ Oh, you have company. ”
 It was almost impossible not to roll his eyes, so he sighed, taking another sip before getting up. “ I need you to meet someone, I hope your friend doesn’t mind. ” There was a goofy smile on his face that he really wished he could slap off. “I’ll be there in a minute.” He pushed the man, making sure to tell him that he’d be with him in a few moments. “ It was lovely meeting you, if I can help you with anything, feel free to contact me. ” Fumbling with his jacket pocket, he found a business card with his email, he didn’t give out his number to anyone. “ I hope you enjoy the rest of the exhibit. ” With a nod of his head, a final glance in her direction, he was off to suffer through whatever meeting he needed to have.

For as long as she has lived, Valerie has never been keen on reminiscing. The past is very long. The future — unimaginably so. The past is a list of all the things she’s outlived. Revolutions, love, art, words, poetry, sunsets, a bittersweet agglomeration of memories whose weight she does not wish to be reminded of. How much longer until it’s over? Until it all reverts back to being meaningless?
Tonight’s far from it. A whole century — give or take — that’s how long it’s been. Her Korean’s rusty, of course it would be, but she’s found most people fairly accommodating ever since she’s stepped off the plane and into the hired car with an invite in hand, expenses paid. Different country, same social scene, same myriad of expensive perfume and even more expensive arm trophies on Louboutin’s. Something else brings her to the gallery — someone else. A familiar face on the guest list. One she had never thought to see again until the Earth lost its spin.
Tumblr media
And there he is. Different, of course. Dressed… well, era appropriate. Drastically different hairstyle, new name, luminous skin, glowing under the aspirin white lights of the joint and not standing in a half-shaded smoky office behind a typewriter. Could’ve been his grandson. Could’ve been someone else entirely. Valerie keeps her hopes locked in chains: tells herself curiosity has brought her here, not anything else. Not the twisting, churning glimpse of fate in her chest, not the painful possibility that it could be….
“Not a fan of mingling?” She takes the spot at the opposite end of the bench, facing the same dusty photograph. Black velvet on smooth marble; she holds a glass of white wine, the base resting on a folded knee. It’s just the two of them and the occasional wanderer, or a waiter peeking in, topping up drinks. Defining her approach as far too vague and fearing he might simply get up and walk away, she adds, “Crazy to think it wasn’t that long ago. The distance between us as these pictures, that fateful March… merely an illusion.”
Tumblr media
There was a long list of people that he didn’t want approach him, or better yet, the types of people that would shimmy across the polished surface of the floor, pretending that anything hung on the endlessly tall walls brings them any kind of interest. But alas, as long as the person speaking to him in this moment wasn’t his agent or anyone from the company, pushing him towards another group of mindless idiots, he’d be content. 
“ I guess you could say that I don’t like…” people would be the more honest answer, but honestly is hardly ever appreciated…” social events. You have to share some of the sentiment if you’re also here, hiding. “ It wasn’t like their bench was away from prying eyes, but it was far enough away from the center of the main room, that most didn’t even venture their way, ironically enough, that way they also stayed away from the main purpose of tonight. He spoke easily, friendly enough to anyone that heard him, not surprised that a foreigner was speaking to him in Korean. Probably from one of the embassies, funnily enough, the Europans seemed at times far more genuinely interested in these exhibits, than the rich and wealthy of Korea. 
Both groups wanting to get their money stained hands onto whatever art piece would give them more bragging rights. ” It is an illusion, all art or history is. Failed attempt to glorify the past, as if somehow the humans that lived before us were better than we are, or that we’re more advanced than they were. It’s all the same really, same as most of the other faces on the wall, they’d sell their country and countrymen for a few gold coins. “ There was a layer of pompousness that enveloped the way he spoke, a part of him that believed himself to be better than most, and that was not a hard thing to believe in. ” I apologize, I didn’t even introduce myself, I am writer Han Se-joo and you are?“ He asked, turning fully towards her and offering his hand. 
                   ” Are you also an artists or someone interested in buying something?“

: plotted with the beautiful one
The gallery was packed, a line still leading up to the wide glass doors and the flashes of light from the cameras could still be seen no matter how far in to the building you went. The company demanded him bet here, mingle, make friends. Like his agent wasn’t painfully aware how much he h a t e d small talk. Especially with the type of people that went to these sort of things, he wasn’t even sure who was the group he despised more, maybe the artists, the list of writers and painters that would stand around with a drink in hand, ready to sell what little dignity they had to whoever would listen. Or maybe the rich socialites and business men that paraded with the newest alarmingly young woman on their arm, buying art pieces that had been priced to the heaven only so they can put them in the lobey of whatever building they owned. 
Tumblr media
The paintings and old photos that decorated the walls, depicted the March 1st movement, determined faces of people long gone stared back in their shabby clothes. None of them would have enjoyed what was happening here, especially seeing that most of the people here would glady sell their soul and country to any bidder. 
Se-joo found himself a marble bench and sat down in the corner of one of the smaller rooms, in front of the a group of freedom fighters that were depicted as young kids, maybe in their early 20s with a look of determination that couldn’t be ignored. As someone said down on the other end of the bench, he could only hope it wasn’t anyone that was trying to sell him anything or try to sell him on anything.

                      SHE WAS IN HER RIGHT ELEMENT WHEN engrossed in music, eyes slowly closing as live instruments guided their movement. it was in times like these when the world stood still, senses attuned to immediate environment only.   ❛  you do not.  ❜   his fears finally dismissed, the ability to keep up with her satisfying enough.  ❛  though, if it’s not from this you get your inspiration, where does it come from?  ❜   writing was an artform in itself, appreciated mostly by those incapable of finding the right words when needing them the most ( kyesun was indeed one of those victims ).
Tumblr media
It took no effort to move around the dancefloor to the melody and song performed live on stage. It was that specific part of night, where the drinks were flowing, and people had allowed themselves a moment to forget, well everything outside of these walls. “ I am sure it would be more poetic to show some kind of pretense about how even the smallest part of my day can bring me inspiration. But sometimes you have to force it. “ Publicly he was known for mundane love stories and covers of mundane events, in private he was the mastermind behind the resistance being informed and organized, and the C O D E S in the newspaper. “ And what brings you inspiration ? “

                    THE NAME SPARKED NO MEMORY,  which may be the very best thing. kyesun didn’t enjoy the act of catching up, its premise hardly entertaining enough. for reassurance’s sake, a pleasant smile accompanied her due introduction:  ❛  nice to meet you hwiyoung-ssi. i’m yeon kyesun.  ❜   hand hugged his with reciprocated interest, posture tuning itself in on his presence.  ❛  do you dance, by any chance?  ❜   a challenge of a wording, boredom threatening to seize her unless she got up moving. though not necessarily common for a woman to ask so openly, kyesun hated the idea of sitting around waiting when she could have what she wanted right here and now.
Tumblr media
Eyes on her, while he couldn’t deny the shadows behind, decending onto the dancefloor and among the occupied tables. Ever present watchful dogs that would snif and bark, until they sensed blood before they’d viciously attack. It was almost like he could smell them in the air, like these were not just human bodies and limbs, like any other, as if they did not bleed the same red everyone else did. While they were men, Hwi refused to see them as such, it made things easier. “ Only when a beautiful woman asks me to. “ Was his immediate reply, quickly getting up, and taking her hand, the same one he shook just seconds ago. Moving them both from the bar and between other dancing bodies. “ I hope I do not disapoint as a dancing partner. “ The half smile, half smirk was there, like a second thought.
