KICKIN'

         ♣° × ———▐█ HE DOES NOT LIKE the words that ring through his ears. yoonsik is not planning on leaving where he is in his life right now, he is set in stone about it, and he has to admit that hearing sehyun say that life can take you places even when you think you have set your roots terrifies him. he would give ALMOST A N Y T H I N G not to go back to where he was in life before. why was it so difficult to stay content in one place? yoonsik bites his lip for a moment until sehyun adds that that is only from his personal experience. yoonsik huffs. ❝ don’t talk like that, ❞ he says a bit gruffly, mostly because he is not prepared to go back to living in second place. ❝ i’ll tell you now i’m never leaving where i am. even if i have to live on this fuckin’ bus, ❞ he half jokes, although most of his words ring TRUTH in them.

SOOKIE 🌻🌻 : really!!! i think you could pull of anything tbh !! SOOKIE 🌻🌻 : i want to !!! i might go back to blonde after this fades to pink, but i wanna try a few other colors as well. i’m just  usually worried about messing it up lol.

SEHYUN: three months late?? idk, that seems kinda sad

SEHYUN: even for me

SEHYUN: i mean, if you want to go into technicalities, i'm sure it's SOMEONE'S birthday, somewhere

JAEHWAN: better late than never right??

JAEHWAN: Don't you dare call my bro Sehyun sad! Shame on you!

JAEHWAN: Pick whatever you want and I'll get it for you as a late gift~

SEHYUN: that's ... debatable

SEHYUN: wow, shamed for speaking the truth?

☆ —— she shakes her head back and forth, nose scrunching up at sehyun’s words. ‘ no, no TRUST ME; you weren’t missing out. ’ she was definitely going to have to find a better hiding place for that journal now. simply hiding it in her sock draw doesn’t seem like a sufficient enough barrier to keep hungry minds and eyes out of it. celeste’s hands flung up into the air in a shrugging motion; if there was only one constant in her life, it was how much people sucked ass. ‘ doesn’t it bother you, though ? that the world we live in so negative that it hurts to watch the news sometimes ? ’ don’t get her wrong, she tries to remain OPTIMISTIC despite everything that she sees on the news. but reality seems to have a way of hitting her like a freight train. lips press together due to sehyun’s statement, the girl setting up, pulling her knees to her chest ( she always picked this position when some serious talking was about to happen. ) ‘ just because you’ve learned to manage it doesn’t mean that you can HANDLE it yourself. and your problems would probably be a complete downer, but you’re one of my friends — i’m sort of required to help you deal with your issues. ’ but oh god, she doesn’t want to really share hers. it seems that everyone she knows has been tainted by jaejin - no one safe enough to be a neutral party to deem when one of them was going to extreme. ‘ i almost didn’t make my rent last month — i spent maybe a LITTLE too much money on food last month. and i still haven’t heard from my brother and i’m kind of scared something’s happened to him. he’s stupid and impulsive and that isn’t a good combination is his line of work. ’

         ♣° × ———▐█ YOONSIK KNEW THAT sehyun was right. if he was going to ask something so… well, possibly out of the blue and maybe EXCESSIVE, he had to give it back in return. but, honestly, yoonsik was not sure how to take such a response. he was the one who had done too much to make the conversation so… emotional… and he kind of regretted it after sehyun hit him with the promise to return the favor. but, even if sehyun left and never talked to him again, yoonsik felt he would still somehow care about him. it was a definite that he would wonder where in the world sehyun even went. he would have a lot of questions, too —— why did he leave? who drove him away? did he want to come back? did he realize what he left behind? —— some that may be more personal than others, but it would be that overly caring side of yoonsik that would come out on him. he had some kind of silent attachment to sehyun, one he would not feel comfortable enough to get rid of, therefore, he nodded in response to the other and said, ❝ yeah, i can make that promise. ❞ he then pauses and purses his lips. it was that moment he realized that he was never going to leave seoul, at least, not the part of seoul he lived in NOW. so he lets out a small laugh while he watches his thumbs collapse on each other. ❝ this bitch ain’t going anywhere, though. i came here to get away from something. there’s no way in hell i’m going back to what i left behind. ❞

          she was glad it was her bracelet and not her hair getting tangled. that would far worse and awkward. mijin beamed her usual smile when the other spoke. her eyes fixated on the tangled object that slowly, but surely, became to it’s rightful position back onto her wrist—tangled-free. “ i wasn’t. i was going home since my schedules for the day were finished. i’m quite grateful this happened so i don’t have to go back to my noisy roommate yet. “ a soft giggle escaped past blossom lips. “ i hope you weren’t in a rush. thank you for being able to untangle it, or else one of us would have lost something. “

SOOKIE 🌻🌻 : i mean true mayBE ,, but still !! SOOKIE 🌻🌻 : i think any color would look cute on u tho tbh :3 SOOKIE 🌻🌻 : but i agree, black suits u rlly well ! SOOKIE 🌻🌻 : and nah, i mostly just stuck with going blonde over the years since i thought that looked the best !! this was my first time trying something different !!

JAEHWAN: OH

JAEHWAN: Did we celebrate it??

JAEHWAN: I wonder whose birthday it is today... I hope it's not dads, that would be awkward

SEHYUN: we didn't, no

She couldn’t even really find a proper response without seeming overly rueful at her experience, but settled for a simple, “Well, what can you do.” She perked up at the mention of the band members coming from different countries – hardly anyone could hazard a guess that they would be from anywhere else. But then again, Korean entertainment at least employed people from other countries under the guise of diversity, but  in America that notion was a grand fucking novelty to everyone. “You’re actually on the nose with that. Although, one of my bandmates is from here a well, but he’s as good as a foreigner.”

She rose her brows in surprise at the declaration. “Oh, really? what are you studying there, if you don’t mind me asking?”

        it was only logical ---- he thought, for jaekhyung’s band members to be from different places when she mentioned exposure in our home countries; but then again, he could have interpenetrated her wrong. relief flooded his stomach when she came back with confirmation, allowing him to relinquish in the fact that he’d been correct for once in an assumption. ‘ is he ? well, i guess it could be good to have someone from the same place if all of you were to separate. ’ maybe --- what did he know about band separation among countries ?
