#Jiwoo seems to get better with Wooin instead.

[shesalewa]

Been reading eleceed bc lookism is so fkn slow.

ALSO

I would like to point out a few things.

She feels like a forced female loved interest. IDC. IDC what y'all think. She's older than Jiwoo. Not just a couple but a few.

Now the difference between few is that it's not a couple.

A couple means 2. Because obv. When you see a couple. It's 2 people.

And a few means. Well. More than 2.

Jiwoo Is 17. And it's stated that she's a few years older than him

So obviously she's not 18 or 19. She's 20 above.

And in Korea 19 is the age of an adult.

I DO NOT CARE IF IT'S JUST BY A FEW YEARS. IDC. SHE'S AN ADULT.

Also. He's a decent guy. Legit.

These 2 are hot. They act like gay dads who aren't really gay but act gay and are on the verge of getting a divorce and fighting over Jiwoo's custody. Genius+Genius = Stupid.

These two have 1 braincell. Legit. Just one. And it's not even in their brains. They use Bluetooth to use that one single braincell. And I love them together. They're a stupid duo. Stupid +stupid = genius.

(This might be hypocritical of me but they are a cute ship)

Best boy.

YES I SHIP KAYDEN AND KARTEIN. DON'T FIGHT W/ ME RN. YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND.

Also they give off Gungoo vibes, but less aggressive and more father like figures.

Fathers' ✨✨ ✨✨✨

Embarrassment

This follows after Joy. Certain sections of this were initially written in Joy but I ended up scrubbing them and using them here instead.

Read on AO3

“Hey hyung,”

“Hm?” He looks up and finds Jisuk frowning intensely at his phone. “What is it Jisuk-ah?”

“Have you ever thought if Casein Nitrate isn’t actually a cat?”

He hasn’t exactly expected the question. He would have teased Jisuk about it, but he’s known Jisuk long enough to know when something’s really bothering him. “What brought this on?”

Jisuk seems to contemplate whether to speak his mind or not. Inhyuk settles himself to wait but the boy shakes his head. “Nothing, just forget it. He’s probably just really smart for a cat.”

The look on his face says otherwise and Inhyuk’s ready to point it out. He decides against it in the end. He’s sure it would come up again. For now, he’ll let it be.

He should have realized, honestly.

He’s bleeding out. The guy should have stayed down. He berates himself for being foolish. He’d know that being driven could push someone past their limits. He’d just failed to judge exactly how much his opponent believed in his goal and now he was paying the price.

At least, the kids were safe. Wooin was down and Jisuk had been beside himself. Jiwoo had looked devastated to leave, but he understood his friends needed help and he, himself, wasn’t faring better any better. They’ve grown so strong and Inhyuk knew they could handle themselves. Unfortunately, they’ve been fighting for too long and this put them at a disadvantage.

His own condition is far from ideal right now, but the knowledge that Seongha and the others would have found them by now had alleviated some of his worries.

His opponent had been readying himself for another attack. Inhyuk gritted his teeth and tried to concentrate. He probably had enough energy to create a shield but it wouldn’t be as strong if he wanted enough to power his attack.

Seeing the familiar pattern, Inhyuk braced himself for the pain. His eyes caught movement from somewhere to his right. Then in a blink, he finds Casein Nitrate in front of him. He doesn’t even have time to shout.

A surge of light nearly blinds and he shields his eyes. There’s the deafening boom as forces clashed against each other, then the familiar churning sound of a storm before he dissipates into nothing.

“Tch.”

He lifts his arm from covering his eyes and finds himself looking at a familiar figure. Inhyuk could only gape as he recognizes the long hair, the almost lazy stance, and the sharp dark eyes.

“Unbelievable. You’re in the top 20 and you let that shithead beat you?” he cocks his thumb to the other awakened, who looked horrified upon realizing the identity of the newcomer. “I thought the years would have changed that. Guess I expected too much.” He cracks his neck and turns his attention to the enemy. His face split into a bloodthirsty grin. “Now, I heard you were terrorizing my student. Since I’m such a great guy, it’s only polite that I return the favor.”

“Let’s see you did it like this, right?” And Inhyuk watched in awe as Kayden beat the guy with his own ability. It was a swift yet painful battle. To see your own ability used against you with far more efficiency than you’ve achieved—it was devastating. No wonder they called him the Destroyer.

He flinches when Kayden turns back to him. The guy clicks his tongue in annoyance when he hears Inhyuk gasp with how the movement aggravated his own injury. He crouches in front of him, takes a look at his wound. “That looks nasty,” he mutters and reaches to place his hand on it. Inhyuk’s breath hitches, holding himself still for whatever Kayden would do.

Kayden makes an aggravated noise, and somehow Inhyuk’s reminded of a cat’s growl. Considering the circumstance, it was quite fitting. “Stop being a dumbass. I’m not stupid enough to hurt you when Jiwoo’s fucking attached to you, alright?” he huffs. Without ceremony, he covers Inhyuk’s wound with his palm. Inhyuk feels a rush of warmth and then the odd tingle of getting shocked followed by light numbness.

Feeling someone’s force jump start your own was always strange. Each one different from the other. Healing wasn’t an easy skill. Mostly, it was reserved for your own. Manipulating force to heal others wasn’t a shared art, yet somehow Kayden had figured it out. He didn’t heal Inhyuk all the way, but it was enough to get him off the edge.

“There. The hospital can do the rest.” He moves and Inhyuk yelps as Kayden gathers him in his arms.

“Wha—”

“Shut up. This will be quicker. And we are not going to talk about this, capiche?” Kayden glares him into submission and really, Inhyuk feels so stupid because _how _could he have missed that? It’s the same damn glare Casein Nitrate gives him.

And this opens the flood gates of memory of the fucking things he did for him.

“Please,” Inhyuk blurts. “Just end me now. It’ll be kinder.” Where was a meteor when you needed one? Or an earthquake? _Fuck, _dying was better than this. He should have let the guy off him.

“Wha— Did the guy knock something loose in your head? The fuck is wrong with you?” He sounds like he wants to be as far away from Inhuk as possible. Yet he still keeps his hold on him. “You and that Jisuk kid are so goddamn weird. Is it a Shinwa thing?”

Inhyuk wanted to take offense. To open his mouth and defend against the slander, except… All he wanted was for the earth to split open and just swallow him. Because fuckfuckfuckfuuuuuuck. He cannot believe he wanted to cuddle Kayden the fucking goddamn Destroyer. Have been trying to get into his good graces just to pet him.

Seongha was right. His devotion to cats did come back to bite him in the ass.

(Later, Inhyuk would remember that Kayden had been naked the whole time.

Just not until Jiwoo squeaked and Seongha threw his coat towards Kayden.

At least, Jisuk hadn’t been there. Although he preferred if Subin hadn’t been present either.)

“So…,” Inhyuk starts. Pausing to lick his dry lips, “…you were Casein Nitrate this whole time.”

Kayden groans. “God, will anyone ever stop calling me that?” He was fully dressed now in sweats and a too-loose shirt. Apparently, he and Jiwoo shared clothes whenever this happened. He does look younger dressed like this and hair tied in a lazy bun. Less intimidating and having a… cat-like grace to him.

“You never really answered me before…” He’s courting death. He knew this. But he needed answers. He digs around in his pockets and brandishes the packets in front of Kayden, “…but which treat did you prefer?”

“FUCKING GET OUT!”
