jaguars in the air

hello friends !! i’m kyla ( she/her ) , it’s nice to meet you all and i hope you are ready to meet this knucklehead girl, gi is a miss or hit and is ready to take a lot of risks around town. . . i’ll put some bullet points about her below if you are interested in plotting with us. i’m really excited to write with everyone asap so please don’t be shy and like this, i will slide into your ims in no time <3 btw for the discord lovers hit me on rhy#0273 .

home has always been a disturbed word to clinge to, gi didn’t knew that until a few months ago. the bliss of innocence was great before that; things would enfold without hardship, all she had to do was be tolerable, quiet, graceful. long ago were the nights in uncertanty of accomplishing an escape, eventually she’d do it.

tonight was the night, discreet and raspy she gathered a bag with a few clothes and just promised to stay away for a while. it wasn’t the first time that month, she slept with a couple of friends and in saunas before, but today she had no place to go. and as scared as that might sound, gi was actually excited for this type of reckless abandon.

she had already burned most of her pocket money with alcolohic bevarages, junk food and a cute bracelet . . . now she was homeless but fashionable at best. most passing on the street would see the half drunk newly young adult girl and be in disregard, fortunally she was too oblivious to care.

gi finally stood by the lamp post of the neighbour thinking how completely lost she was —  in all aspects of life. the water which started raising in her eyes, quickly brushed off with a single head movement. no more mercy for herself.  

maybe it was time to come back crawling, asking for forgiveness or just pretending like nothing happened at all, it was the protocol they knew by heart. but this time was different, gi knew that and deep down she just wanted a prove of such. it was not like she believed in signals, so she just gave up and sitted on the floor like a mutt in the rain, all hope shattered. 

what an eventful night — to say the least. when called upon a few days ago for this gig, gi wouldn’t have imagine what was in store. niki’s festive, huge, marvelous, special and to even say noisy, birthday party. ryu gi only recognized the pattern of niki’s taste when she was already in the establishment hours ago, the glam decorations and that kind of crowd could only meant one thing: this was her ex’s retreat. she was invited to entertain her own heartbreaker.

so much drama to be handled, she thought sitting at the bar of the pompous night club, not exactly gi’s scene but she visited the place once or twice. it was her first time playing in a venue like this, this was high quality scene, a good opportunity. niki couldn’t have known, in fact, she wasn’t even sure the other knew about her career ( if she could call it that ). had she seen her? did she knew? who would want their ex at their birthday party? whatever the case might have played, gi decided not to think about it after playing the first song and she wasn’t going back for a review now.

her hand swirled the glass of the manhattan drink without dropping before taking a sip, warming her inside up for a battle. despite having a few people wave in harmony, not many were acknowledging gi in the room and she was pleased for such. no need for a pep talk. or a sob story. she didn’t have one, she didn’t want one. 

and god forbid if someone would disturb her withdrawal right now. there was nothing left there, except for the drink still cold in her hand thus a couple more sips and she would be gone, like she wasn’t even there. it was an adaquate plan at most, prior to the quiver announcing an amity beside. 

ㅤ—— ❆ YEONA WAS IMPRESSED by gi’s canoeing skills. all the talent she had with the pen, paper and other art tools, she lacked in most other activities, including anything water related. although she knew how to swim ( or at least she thought she did ), she would most likely panic in an emergency situation. “ this is amazing, gi ! i don’t think i’ve ever seen a place like this before. the view is out of this world. ”, she was clearly impressed and her tone showed it as she smiled. taking her phone out of the pocket of her jacket, the artist was careful not to drop it inside the lake, of course, and took some pictures — including some of gi herself. “ strike a pose~ ”, she pointed the camera at the other with a nod. however, gi’s question made yeona worry for a moment — wasn’t the question too much of a coincidence to be asked while they were in the middle of a lake ? “ i — kind of. do you ? ”, she asked back with an arched eyebrow. “ gi, please tell me you know how to get us back to the land. ”

    “yeah, there might be a few things, actually…”, fuyuko responded with a soft chuckle. she felt flattered by the younger, however gi wasn’t the first young woman who seemed to be feeling rather at home and comfortable with her around. after all, she knew that taking care of someone – even if it was little things – could bring one further in life. and if it didn’t; fuyuko still knew that she had done a good deed. “i’m sure there’s a whole bunch of stuff that you could show me, right? like… maybe music or something. i’m really not good at that.”, she mused as she held another marshmallow over the fire, making sure she was turning the stick in her hands evenly to get the most out of the heat. the fact of sleeping outside somehow made her shiver a little, shaking her head. “you know what?”, she asked as she turned her head to look at the younger, raising her brows a little at what she was about to say. “there must be something. i don’t think the landlord just let us go like that. i’m sure that man is up to something.”, the detective explained, pursing her lips. “somehow doubt he would just do something nice for us for no reason, don’t you think?”

gi and buzz were the ultimate chaos / fun combination, almost everyone close to her knew that. but there was a fine line, one that you shouldn’t cross whenever she was that drunk — which was more often than so — a stage that’s almost feared by some and that is honesty. it’s a fair understatement, some people get really sincere when drunk, gi is one of them, of course she uses this to get into people’s minds and win them over back to her place. gladly, she never actually said something compromising, people would just asume she was being a tease, like always.

party friends weren’t necessarily best friends, gi knew that and would never confide herself into one but it was almost easy to do so since they wouldn’t take it so seriously.

the timing wasn’t right even if the company was good, gahyeon was one of those people that just became much funnier once drunk and gi was a fan of whatever hilarious they didn’t plan on to have together. right now, it seemed like a good idea to not call a cab and walk home side by side, leaning on the walls and singing to their hearts. alcohol’s most at fault.

the grip on the other’s side was hard, protective, she would never leave a friend on the street specially in such a state, even if her state was exactly the same. it was funny, stupid and completely reckless, things they were accostumed to. ‘ we are each other’s balance, how cute! ’ gi wasn’t sure if she said or yelled, but her hearing it.

when the complex was getting into their sight, gi let an ease feeling ran throw her, it was weird and good to have a place to call it hers; home. ‘ aaah, home sweet home. ’
