@rkmarklee
he is not a child. joo haknyeon is an almost full grown adult –– so he thinks it’s stupid that the zoo has these ‘rules’ prohibiting ‘children’ ( people under the age of eighteen ) to visit without adult supervision. haknyeon’s pretty sure he can supervise himself; or mark can supervise the both of them. which was the only reason he’d begged for his aunt to take both him and mark to the zoo to see these animals.
still, all the ( childlike ) anger quickly disperses the moment they enter the zoo and he lets out a gasp before grabbing hold of mark’s arm. he jumps a little, shaking the boy with him. “oh my god!” he says aloud, only to remember that they’re not supposed to be loud at this time of night. quickly he hushes himself up and links his arm with mark’s. “this is so cool!” he smiles brightly.
though his eyes slowly fall onto his aunt’s and his bottom lip juts out a little. “probably would’ve been cooler if they didn’t have those… stupid adult children rules…” he sighs, “but this will be so fun! we can get my aunt to help us take pictures!” he grins, suddenly forgetting all that whining he’d been doing just hours before.
mark honestly for the life of him can’t remember the last time he went to a zoo - so when haknyeon invites him to some night event that the seoul zoo was holding, he was beside himself with joy - finally, finally finally he could make some time for a visit!
(although he would have honestly preferred if haknyeon’s aunt hadn’t been there to chaperone them, and not that he has a dislike for her or anything; on the contrary, she was almost like a second mother to him. but well, it’s always better to be alone with just your friends.) mark stubbornly tucks away that thought in the corner of his mind but forgets it immediately as they set foot into the zoo together.
he shares haknyeon’s bubbling excitement - although feeling a little overwhelmed by the atmosphere to be making as much noise as his best friend was. but he could feel himself getting more impatient and restless with every step they took into the zoo. the animals!! he can’t wait to see all the animals.
all night!

@rkmarklee
as good as her korean’s gotten in the past few months, there are times when stella still slips up and makes a stupid mistake, or stumbles over her words, stutters or trails off her sentences when she’s unsure of how to say something. usually this isn’t such a bad thing; often she’s in school and people are rather lenient and understanding, knowing that she’s only been in korea for a year. they’ll correct her or sometimes laugh a little if she accidentally pronounces something in a certain way that completely changes the entire sentence (usually to something either rude, or embarrassing).
this isn’t the case when she’s in public though, as she appears completely korean in every sense of the word. she fits in appearance wise, fashion wise, and on a good day, language wise as well - but today doesn’t seem to be a good day at all as she stands at the counter of a coffee shop, tapping her lower lip and wondering what to order.
she should’ve known not to try and order coffee when she’s tired, as her pronunciation tends to go a bit funny when she’s not fully thinking about it, so as she’s ordering, the barista thankfully one who usually takes her order, so knows her usual, she slips up on her korean, and an old woman beside her lets out a scandalised gasp, turning to look at stella in disgust.
“ya! what do you think you’re saying?!” an accusatory finger comes up to wave in front of stella’s face, and only then does she realise due to the slip in her pronunciation she’d accidentally sworn. she stutters and stammers, lifting both hands up in front of her chest as she protests and tries to explain, but the angry ranting continues and stella feels the tears of frustration welling in her eyes.
she just wanted coffee, not to be shouted at by an old woman and have the entire coffee shop stare at her.
it’s mark-has-absolutely-no-idea o’clock, and he’s standing in line at a coffee shop, blinking sleep out of his half-lidded eyes. he’s useless prior to his daily caffeine beverage, so he looks forward to the surge of energy the coffee gives him.
a few minutes pass and he’s gratefully sipping from his iced coffee, standing by the counter and observing the other patrons of the cafe with a tired kind of alertness. it was nothing out of the usual, really - students taking up tables studying with already-finished cups of coffee, businessmen chatting politely with each other, couples on carefree dates.
he immerses himself in his thoughts until a sudden, screeching shout jolts him back to reality, and he’s shocked to find an elderly lady absolutely fuming at someone who was ordering her coffee. it seemed as though the entire cafe had their eyes on the both of them, and he quickly realises what was happening.
it almost feels like deja vu to mark, what with him being from canada originally and moving to seoul when he was young. he remembers how it feels like to be afraid to speak, for not sounding ‘korean’ enough, for being misunderstood in public...
thankfully, though, mark’s pretty much assimilated into society by now, having been living in seoul for a few years. which is why he feels an inclination to go out and help the woman in her predicament (even though he’s normally relatively quiet around strangers). true enough, he can’t hide the stutter out of his voice as he tries to explain to the old woman the situation as calmly as he can, who was still fuming.

rksiyeon:
it’s amusing to see the male react so largely to the smallest of things — almost adorable, even. while there was some trepidation about her new deskmate, by now siyeon is sure everything will run smoothly. it’s all working out even better than she expected, actually. ❛ mhm. it’s been awhile, but it was cool. ❜
park siyeon becomes a whole new person when seeing a dog ( much like any person would ) and dubu is no exception. now she just wishes she could hold the small pet in her arms and never let go. ❛ i love dogs—- more than anything. ❜ and she’s telling the truth, believe it or not. is that a smile on her face ?? yes it is !! ❛ i don’t have one, but i really wish i did, ❜ she answers with a small pout, knowing very well the apartment building she lives in doesn’t allow pets. for now she’ll just live vicariously through other people’s ownership.
❛ sorry, ❜ she apologizes, handing the male his phone back with an apologetic smile. she’s been smiling a lot, actually, which is very surprising. there may or may not be a few people staring at the two’s interaction, because siyeon seems like a complete different person right now. ❛ do you have any hobbies ?? ❜ that should be a good place to carry on conversation, hopefully.
mark’s not sure that what was going on right now in front of him was even real - for one, he was having a really good conversation with someone that he was just getting to know, and what’s more is that the person in question was park siyeon.
he'd never imagine that they’d be having a conversation other than “excuse me”s, “you dropped this!” or “here’s your homework handout”, and yet here they were, conversing as if it was the most natural thing in the world. (or it would be, if mark would just stop overthinking about how the conversation was going.)
mark’s also grateful he decided to bring up dubu because damn - siyeon seemed to do a whole 180 from how he thought she was in class. he actually found it pretty cute and might have even told her... that is, if he wasn’t so previously intimidated by her seemingly cold demeanour.
“hobbies?” he says aloud, taking his phone back from her. “writing... songs?” he scratches his neck sheepishly, as if embarrassed. did he seem lame to her? “i like listening to music... it’s nothing much, really. what about you?”

jaehyunrk:
he feels a little guilty –– he’s gotten too busy to spend time with mark and as much as he loves the younger boy, it’s hard to juggle being a trainee ( and selling your soul to royal ) along with spending time with his favourite dongsaeng.
so when he finds a little free time during his already tight schedule, he immediately invites mark to the beach for a little bonding time together. “you do?” jaehyun says, loose and thin white t-shirt hanging from his body. it’s summer so the heat is killer regardless of the time of day.
he follows the younger boy, bright smile on his face before he settles down at the spot, finally letting out a sigh. “god,” he breathes, sinking himself into the air. “it’s been so long since i was out like this!” and he’s already excited, the sea feels as though it’s calling out to him –– and jaehyun doesn’t think he can wait any longer.
with a laugh he pulls off his shirt and throws it into the sand. “oh beautiful majestical sea… wait for me,” he says, walking towards the ocean.
mark’s almost impatient by the time they settle down into their spot - he hurriedly takes his shirt off and dashes into the direction of the ocean the moment he can. the sun’s so bright that he’s squinting - but he doesn’t care; he takes in the welcome sunshine and loves the feeling of the sun on his skin.
“hyung, hurry!” mark whines as he turns back towards his hyung who was making his way to the water as well.
“jaehyoooons!!!” mark yells as he dashes into the water and dives headfirst when it’s deep enough for him to. the cool water felt nothing short of amazing against his body, and when mark resurfaces from the water, he lets out an unrestrained laugh.
he feels like a kid again (when was the last time mark’s been to a beach anyway?) but he revels in the feeling, and as if to bask in it, he splashes seawater at jaehyun. “mark used surf!” he yells, not really caring about the other people who were at the beach with them.

haknyeonrk:
( @rkmarklee )
studying is important. sure it is –– that’s what they all say. but when you’re seventeen and feel as though you have the whole world beneath your feet, you find that there are a lot more exciting things to do than … studying.
which is exactly how haknyeon finds himself dragging his best friend to the arcade, the both of them grinning from ear to ear as they threw their bags aside and attempted some ddr. “i’m going to destroy you,” haknyeon grins, feet rapidly moving to the beat ( only to later on lose to mark. it’s fine though ).
it’s only when they’re finally done with dancing and haknyeon’s gulping down on his water bottle does he notice a few girls looking at them. from the uniform they wore he assumed that they were around the same age –– just some highschoolers looking to have some fun.
a grin finds itself sliding onto his face and his eyes glance back and forth from mark to the group of girls. “hey,” he says, nudging his best friend, “i think one of them is into you,” he nudges mark a few more times, little giggles leaving his lips. “you should go up to her!”
mark tucks his worries away at the back of his mind as he and his best friend head to the arcade together. it’s not every day that they decided to treat themselves like this, he tells himself, and it’s been a stressful week for them both. the arcade was a perfect place to unwind for the both of them.
the first game they play? ddr, of course. mark and haknyeon were practically ddr veterans, and they play for a few rounds, eventually working up a sweat and challenging each other - in which mark wins, but narrowly.
mark sees haknyeon grin that one evil smirk and he knows his best friend was either hatching some sort of mischievous plot under his sleeve to embarrass mark, or get them into trouble, or both. (not that he minded, haknyeon’s ideas were normally
“you’re joking,” mark says, taking a swig from his water bottle and wiping the sweat off his forehead, but he glances in the direction haknyeon tells him to anyway, and sees the group of girls in question. they must have been around the same age as mark and haknyeon, judging from their high school uniforms. (he also notices that haknyeon was probably right about the girl, too.)
“come on dude,” mark says, laughing as he pushes haknyeon lightly. “that’s nuts. you’re nuts. i don’t even know how to talk to girls!”

@jaehyunrk
mark squints as he scans the beach for any shady vacant spots for him and his hyung to place their stuff. the sun’s beating down on his skin - but he doesn’t care (he does care, he put on a ton of sunblock before he left the house), he revels in the feeling.
it’s been way too long since he had been to the beach, so when jaehyun suggested that they head down together for a swim or to chill, he jumped at the invitation almost immediately. it’s been way too long since he last saw his hyung anyway, and he was so excited that he bought him an iced drink before they met up - jaehyun’s favourite, of course - a large iced lemon tea with extra ice.
“hyung, i see a spot!” mark half-shouts a little too excitedly, and he bounds over to the spot before anyone else could take it. he’s very much looking forward to getting into the water already; it’s almost as if the sea itself was calling his name.

rk-mark:
rksxngji:
his awkwardness is nothing short but endearing. she beams a smile at him as he settles down and introduces himself, while remaining leaned back in her seat and comfortably taking a sip from her coffee. it’s luke warm by now but it’s almost empty either way. she’s definitely ready for a refill.
“nice to meet you mark.” she returns with a short nod of her head, ready to string the conversation along in favour for releasing the stiffness in his shoulders and take the burden of having to come up with the next topic but he’s already speaking again.
“gps tends to mess up a lot, tell me about it. I hate when it keeps doing that. on the positive side- did you know that for every step your character takes you gain miles for your eggs? so even when you’re sitting, the messy gps allows you to get steps!” the information leaves her lips without struggle but the next question he directs at her does leave her speechless for a moment.
the smile that widens over her lips is almost too hard to control, fits of laughter pressed down in favour to protect his pride. “yes I uh… I do like them alot. I grew up with the anime after all.”
he nods slowly at what she tells him - he’s heard bits and pieces of handy information like that from his friends, but he didn’t know if they were actually true. well, i guess they really are, then, he thinks.
grateful for a new topic, his eyebrows raise in interest at the mention of the show. “me too!” he agrees in response, maybe a little too excitedly. but before he can stop himself, he goes on. “the first two seasons are still my favourite. but i think my favourite movie is destiny deoxys. it’s really good and i-”
he finally regains his senses and cuts himself off. “i’m sorry,” he says sheepishly. “i tend to get a little carried away.”
he scratches his head. “then um, do you play the games?”
the very best
