    “are you kidding me? you think this experience will make me stronger than having to live in a hospital for five years? go to hell, jihoon.”

A sigh left him at the other's hostility, "Listen," he slowly started before settling more into his seat as if he was about to start on a long-winded type of tangent. "Firstly," He started off, eyebrows raising, "I'm already on the way." He joked about her telling him to go to hell possibly a bad time to do so, but--, "Secondly," he spoke, now he seemed to have softened some visibly in the way he was presenting himself until now. "If I think about it, Anything that was difficult, seemed to have taught me something." he sighed at this thought and his eyes downcast as he seemed to ponder over it, "No matter how small it is, if you can find one positive in anything, sometimes it makes it a little less unbearable--Not to say that it won't be a negative. . .  Cause, Of course, it will be; But, No person is born strong. . . You work your way there and go through rough times to mold yourself in the strong person you wanna be, even if inside you might be weak and vulnerable." He sighed and wrinkled his nose as he head seemed to tilt to one side in thought. "I've never been great at words, I hope that made even the smallest bit of sense."

❝ Kori, ❞ Eiri starts off with an affectionate call of her name. Or her nickname, to be exact, but emphasis shouldn't be placed on the contents of his speech but more so on the tone of his voice. Ever since the events that shook his world upside down, the renowned young novelist had been an empty shell of a man, as cold as ice and as heartless as they came. However, the female before him was special -- they had met in the midway between Eiri of the past and the Eiri everyone knew present day, and it made his relationship with her a little complicated. At times, seeing her or even just talking to her would bring back vivid flashbacks of his time spent in the hospital -- and sometimes blurry images of the time before during the traumatic incident. They were memories he'd prefer to forget if he could, yet the positive memories over-weighed the negative. Of a newfound friendship, and a pillar of support. ❝ We haven't seen each other in over a year and your eyes are glued to your phone screen instead? You hurt me. ❞ A little teasing was all it was, nothing of great severity. Of course it went without saying that during his time back in Japan, they kept in touch rather frequently, however face to face conversations were different from when they had to rely on a man-made medium.

    she couldn’t help the giggle that erupted from her, she just found it TOO funny that he thought this way. “wait, you’re not joking? oh my god —” she paused, breathing in deeply and erupting in laughter yet again. “soonyoung, darling, you practically killed him with your eyes when he asked for my number. i would call that jealous.”

MG: Gas me up ig!?

    her eyes scanned her toes, biting her lip before breathing in deeply. kori had to think about what she said, analyze her next words as to not give away too much in one sitting. “um, i get what you’re saying! but it’s a bit too much for me to try new things. i have to take my time, if you understand? i’m uhm..” she pauses for a moment, formatting her next words carefully. “a bit restricted in adventuring.”

her hands lept to cover her mouth as she laughed, dropping them instead to clutch her stomach. “don’t make me laugh this hard, i might pee!” she continued to chuckle, wiping a fake tear from her eye. “you may not legally be, but darling, the mirror says otherwise. just LOOK at those cheeks!”

Jiwoo deadpans at the other’s words, a light huff escaping from her lips, and eyes analyzing the other as she's practically witnessing her dying of laughter. Well, if Kori did pee, it would be completely her own fault. She wasn’t the one who was doing the laughing nor did she see anything truly humorous here. “Remind me, why am I friends with you again unnie?” The hint of a smile creeping its way across her face is proof enough that she's teasing the elder. Of course she knew the answer already, but after being laughed at she had to get revenge even in the smallest way possible.
