we ain't ever getting older

when he said he was ‘gonna eat good’ for his cheat day jaye wasn’t lying. he wakes up with an extra pep in his step at the start of the day and ends his morning jog a few minutes earlier than usual. he actually makes it to class before it’s scheduled time all smiles and throughout his classes he’s wondering what will make him hate himself tomorrow when he’s back to his regular healthy eating: donuts or pizza? maybe chicken nuggets?

when it’s been about a month of not eating anything similar the list of what sounds delicious goes on forever.

and then, in the process of thinking over, he realizes that he’s not alone today. since meeting him, jaye and minho had practically linked up schedules and started this monthly dive into junk food eating together. at this point it feels a bit odd to not be planning something with him and so during his last class he sends the other male a text.

the reason why jaye and jieun are even aware of each other’s existence is for the lack of available tables in the cafeteria. really it’s his timing to blame after he decided to walk a friend to their class but it’s not a moment that he can say he particularly regrets. it’s a five second exchange that turns into a usual greeting, a familiar smile, and soon enough they’re comfortably speaking of their busy schedules and piling school work.

today, like most, he greets the other girl with a smile before taking his seat across from her. pulling his bag from his shoulder he rests it against the table as he leans back into his chair, “morning,” it’s nearly the afternoon, “i nearly fell asleep in my last class because i spent all night trying to cram, and then when i woke up i considered stay home until i remembered i spent all that time trying to study for a test.”

▓ = caught stealing their belongings

“bro.”

his tone is neither loud or threatening, but disappointment drips from his tongue and the moment minho turns around he’s confronted with jaye laying his arms across his chest with an arched brow. he’s making this whole situation much more dramatic then he has to be, but it’s not like protein powder was inexpensive and he was growing that shit on his balcony.

sore and tired jaye turns his key and steps into the shared apartment with a sigh of relief. the blistering heat did nothing but male the walk back from the gym that much more unbearable, but it was a decision he made to cancel out reality for a moment in time. a missed call from his sister goes unanswered, wanting to first take a shower before doing anything else.

but even there were obstacles before that. he’s sure that august was home when he spot the usual pair of shoes when he walked in. the other was probably in his own world and most nights jaye respects that, leaving him alone, but a glance inside his drawer brought the corners of his mouth to turn into a frown. he’s neither upset or disappointed, it’s not the first time (and he’s sure that even after today it wouldn’t be the last) something of his disappeared and he’s certain it was just a mistake. like always.

he doesn’t bother knocking when he approaches august’s room, swinging the door open effortlessly as he walks inside.

☁ = being caught in the middle a storm with them

“i wanna die.”

their car is broke down on the side of the road and jaye swears that they could have made it to the gas station if they were on a dirt road. but unfortunately luck wasn’t on their side and what makes matters worse is that it was pouring outside. the wind makes the car feel like it’s seconds away from becoming a scene from the infamous final destination movies--or worse, he honestly prays that it doesn’t get worse.

the radio serves as nothing but background noise despite the rain hitting hard against the windows. he leans back in his chair, reclining it a tad as he tries to find some peace in the whole situation. but that’s impossible. “how far did the gps say the station was from here? maybe one of us can be like.. a sacrifice for gasoline.”

☠ = pushing them against a wall

moments are just as they seem--moments. they pass by as the earth continues to spin, time being wasted or safely secured as precious moments depending on that person’s perspective.

for jaye he doesn’t know what to think of this situation. he’s confused, to put lightly, and is still collecting his thoughts and piecing everything together when his back meets the wall. it’s cold and solid, easy to indicate and separate from the warmth of her hands against him as well as her overall presence. eyes dig into his being and for some reason it feels like she’s looking right past his defenses; finding his weakness.

▤ = falling asleep on them 

he almost feels like apologizing again when he hears mumbled complaints of a headache and the floor spinning. jaye looked away for a second and the next thing he knows hyeri is drunk--for the first time since they’ve known each other she’s drunk instead of it being the other way around. and knowing she’s finally hit her tolerance he can almost imagine the terrible hangover she’ll have the next morning.

“don’t worry we’re like ten steps from your bed, if i remember correctly.”

the walk back to myogak was a challenge itself with stumbling feet and hyeri growing slightly heavier. it’s an indicator that she’s ready to finally close her eyes and rest and he honestly couldn’t blame her. he’ll probably end up crashing on her couch. (at least that’s his plan.)

a wave of relief comes over him once he opens the door to her bedroom, pulling the intoxicated female to her bed. “okay, hyeri--hey, are you awake?” dipping his head he attempts to get a better look at her face but gravity has other intentions for the two of them. leaning forward only causes her to do the same, which ends with both landing in the comfort of the mattress. there’s a hint of regret in the sigh that slips past the male’s lips, turning over onto his back and realizing that his arm was stuck underneath the younger woman’s head.
