       FOUR HOURS of slumber was normal for jihoo & hopefully while being in an actual home away from his noisy mother he would be able to fix his schedule. yet he’s dragging himself out of bed, groaning & doing the typical monkey-butt scratch as he leaves his room without a shirt on. surely there must be some sort of caffeinated product in this apartment & he was set on finding it no matter what. what he wasn’t expecting was his stranger of a roommate being perched up in the kitchen. his AUTOMATIC reaction to seeing her was to reach up & cover both his nipples. “ uhm, yo ? ” he questions, “ are you gonna be out here every time i leave my room ? i’m not ready for that kind of commitment you know. ” his eyes land on the coffee mug in which he could find the brown liquid honey sitting there. “ shit — are one of those for me ? coffee sounds so good right now. ” with that he’s eager to move close to the other, smiling at her as to not pose a threat. “ i’m settled in good for right now. thanks for letting me crash here forever. ”

dae hadn’t considered himself a religious man until he started seeing eunji— and it was only afterward, as if he’d come into some kind of spiritual awakening, that he suddenly found GOD in all things about her. in the bow in her lips when the weight of a smile was too much for her to bear … in the mischevious gleam in her obsidian eyes. even in the way her babydoll slip looked, gently pooled around her ankles, underneath a lowly dimmed light. and this was how he knew that if god was real, heaven was where their bodies came together, drunk and hopeless in a world that was too cold and cruel for them. and there was no doubt within him that if she was an angel disguised in the flesh— he was the devil personified! unwilling to compromise ( or to commit even ), he dragged her across the hot coal … not caring how it hurt her so long as she was with him. and fuck; they were each other’s greatest foils. he knew better than to keep crawling back to her but looking upon her now, he hated to admit how lost he felt without her. he missed the warmth of her touch; the absolving effect of her kiss … both forgiving and pacifying a sinner’s HEART. how fucking frustrating it was to be bound in a thousand ways but one!

“mm,” he let out a sound of consideration as eunji turned away from him— her anger still evident in the way her jaw tensed at his reflection in the mirror. matching her gaze, dae smiled emotionlessly, “just wanted to see you, that’s all.” though he had intended the words to come off detached, his voice betrayed him, instead carrying a hint of sincerity in the words that followed, “i missed you.” resting his hands gently on the back of her chair, he leaned over to her shoulder, his lips curling up as he watched her continue applying her makeup, “and i just wanted to tell you how pretty you look tonight.” 

          she knows that he knows those are the words she LOVES to hear. i missed you. whether he meant it or not, eunji feels some sort of validation from him thinking about her. it’s fucked up how easily it affects her, making her pause the motions of applying blush on her cheeks for almost a second as she stares at his reflection in the mirror. she can’t deny how much she’s missed him, almost unbearably so that there were OCCASIONS where she almost texted him in the middle of the night. but then she remembered why that wasn’t a good idea, why she stopped talking to him in the first place. he could’ve been with anyone on those nights, maybe with the very person who gave him that mark and she refused to look like a fool if he saw her message hours later. “i don’t need you to tell me that,” she huffed, dropping her brush on the table only to pick up her lipgloss, “i already know i am.” and yet goosebumps appeared on her arms as soon as he called her pretty, especially with how close his face was to hers and how the scent of his cologne was enough to make her shift in her seat. 

          they were LETHAL for each other, at times eunji felt suffocated under his gaze. what was once nothing but a fling turned into something more, something with a deeper meaning until she realized she was on her own there. they used to have carefree fun, they went out, daehyun took her to places she’s never DREAMED of going. physically and emotionally. the film of her polaroid camera ran out quickly with pictures of him, of them and they decorated her room, and even kept one of her favorite pictures of him on her phone-case. eunji had to go and fuck it up and catch genuine feelings for him, and she knew it was going to be unrequited and yet she stuck around and took what she could get until one day it was over, and her bed was left COLD. she had been doing so well without him despite the endless nights she missed his touch and cried herself to sleep for being so foolish. and somehow , despite everything, dae managed to crawl back into her life and she let him. it turned into a game of push and pull, there were more fights than there was sex, more BITE and silent treatments. eunji hated herself for the fact she’ll take what she can get from dae, not knowing how to shake him off ( not wanting to ).
