☼ ･ ° ✧ || SUN CHILD. ( ap )

As of this moment, this blog is on INDEFINITE HIATUS.

That means that I might come back in some time, or I might not.

The young female looked up from her phone before tucking the device back inside her purse and walking over to the teal-haired figure. “Hey! It’s great to finally meet in real life like this. Talking through the messenger is great and all, but it’s still different from actually seeing someone.”

Sharon did take note of the rather obvious sunglasses, but she didn’t think much of it. It was sunny out that day, so he would have easily just worn them to combat the brightness. 

“Shall we go inside then? I took a quick peak inside earlier and one of the tables by the window is still free. Those always have the best view!”

“It really is good to meet in person. Specially considering that I barely ever have time to look at the chatroom, and I’m not a huge fan of phone calls.” He opened the door for her after her suggestion of going inside, looking around to spot the table she had mentioned. Thankfully the lightning in the place wasn’t too exaggerated, it wouldn’t further make his tired eyes hurt, but he still decided against taking off his sunglasses. 

   “It just… I feel like I haven’t earned the title yet,” Rose explains as she leans

     on him. It seems like she had everything handed to her, skill or otherwise,

     and Rose feels as if she wants to earn her position, like she’ll be more

     credible that way. Smiling at his suggestion, genuine happiness passes over

     her when she looks up at Jihuyn. “That sounds really good. I’d love to do that

     with you three. Just tell me when you decide to go.”

   Leaning back into him more as they continue, Rose blushes at the pet

     name. Saying her name fondly is intimate, but saying ‘ my love’ just as fondly

     makes her cheeks burn in a way she isn’t sure of. “I’m glad. Your happiness

     matters so much to me, Jihuyn.”

“I personally think you’ve more than earned it. Being naturally good at it has never stopped you from practicing and working hard, and you keep getting better and better.” He was honest, and it was in fact one of the things he admired about his girlfriend, how passionate she was about her photographs even when he knew well that whatever photo she took would look good no matter what she did.

“Gotcha! I’ll hang up now, okay? See you soon!”

ー With that being said, she pressed the little red telephone icon, ending the call. Instead she went over to her inbox to send the link of the cafe to the teal-haired male. Just to be sure, Sharon checked the place’s opening hours. She was fairly certain they were open on all weekdays but you never know. It would be embarrassing to meet up in front of closed doors.

Message to: V

[Sharon]: This is the address!

[Sharon]: [Link]

After sending the message, she gathered all of her things and headed out of the door. Thankfully, the weather was nice today so she could go there on foot rather than taking the bus or metro.

Checking the address she had sent him, V immediately called a cab to take him to the location. Living in such a secluded place had its pros, but its biggest con was that nothing was within walking distance. And with his eyes being like they were, driving himself was not an option for him anymore. Still, he arrived to the place rather quickly.

“Hm…the sun…perhaps. We’ll see.”

She was going to be vague. Besides, could she even do a detailed Sun? If it was a moon, sure though that was more bias than anything. Of course, this isn’t for her but for someone else so surely she could make something as simple as a intricate sun painting…

However, that is not what she has her artistic mind on. Not in the slightest. She would say but…why ruin the surprise? Surprises are meant to bring joy so…she’ll keep it under wraps for now. But she knows he’ll love it!

“All I know is, you’ll love it once the exhibit opens. I can’t promise it will be a master piece but…I will try at the very least!”

“Ah... Whatever it is, I’m excited to see it~”

He means it, he certainly is looking forwards to her exhibit, since he is already a fan of her works, but now he has more reasons to be excited for it. He’s thinking he should probably do something for her in return... But painting is not something he believes he’s good at (even though he is). 

   “Now you know how it feels when you compliment me…” Rose says bashfully,

     ducking her head to peer at Jihyun through her eyelashes. He doesn’t blush

     often, so whenever he does she can’t help but feel flustered over how

     adorable he looks. Rose isn’t sure if he’d like being called that though, so she

     keeps it to herself. “I mean it though. I’m lucky to have you in every way, not

     just with looks.”

“  OH  ?  YOU THINK SO  ?  ”  of course  ,  it isn’t like jaehee to fish for compliments  .  but v is always so gracious and humble about them  ,  it’s a bit difficult not to feel flustered in the presence of such a sincere smile  .

“  i do have to admit  ,  ”  she adds softly  ,  bringing a mug of coffee to her lips  .  the soft aroma melts away her stress  ,  allowing her to enjoy a rare break even more  .  “  it is slightly unusual seeing you without your camera  .  it must be nice to take a break from your work  .  ”

“I know so. I still don’t understand why Jumin makes you wear glasses if you don’t need them... But oh well.” Indeed, he knew better than anyone that his dearest friend was a piece of something. He could only hope it wasn’t too hard for the younger woman. 

She can’t help but smile and blush at how much he believed in her. He always did, didn’t he? Since the beginning? The only other people she could think of that did that were her late father and late best friend. She found herself clinging even more to his hand, a wave of fear suddenly rushing over her. Both people that believed in her unconditionally had died, and V almost did, too. This HAD to be a second chance for both of them. She wouldn’t let him down like she did the others.

His questions bring her back, trying to steady her heart rate from the small scare she had given herself. “They’re doing….as best as they can. Jaehee is still working like she usually does….you know her. She doesn’t think she can afford to linger on things like that when there’s work to be done. Yoosung is…..well…” She bit her lower lip. “He’s taking it the hardest. He was the one most attached to all of you, I think. You, Rika, Seven….it’s a lot for him to take in, especially now that he knows the truth.” Neff sighs, and it’s easy to tell things are harder on her than she’d like to admit. “But he’ll be okay. Seven’s been out and talking with him so it helps them both. I think at least with his best friend out and about they can both get back on track.”

With a deep breath she pats the side of his leg, a signal she usually gave to tell him to scoot over. She sits up on the hospital bed, swinging her legs up enough to be sitting up next to him, but also with her shoes on the side as to not make a dirty mess. Still holding his hand, she flicks on the tv.

“I’ll be sure to tell everyone you say hello. And who knows….maybe they’ll stop by and say hello themselves. Now…is there anything you fancy on listening to? We could have some background music, a drama, whatever you’re in the mood for!”

His brow furrows as he listens to her talking about Yoosung. It was no secret that the youngest RFA member was having it hard enough, even before the truth came out. His constant allegations of hating V made it evident, and while V had never really been okay with it, there was not a lot he could do. “I hope I can talk with him soon myself... I have a lot of things to explain to him, now that I don’t have anything to hide.”

The brief drop in her tune doesn’t go unnoticed, and the way her sigh sounds confirms his suspicions. Maybe he’d have realized sooner if he were able to see her... But regardless, he gives her hand another soft squeeze, a reassuring one, and his voice is softer than ever next time he speaks. “And how have you been doing? You always come and take care of me... I’m sure you’ve been taking care of the others too... But are you taking care of yourself, Neff? I know this situation is hard... It’s probably a load on your shoulders, isn’t it? But you can talk to me. I’d be more than happy to listen.”
