it’s after he’s had a very upsetting, intense phonecall with hyejung that his hands begin to shake. most of the time he never wanted to pick up when he saw hyejung’s name on the screen anyway, but it wasn’t like he had a choice when they had to have a functional co-parenting relationship. she hurls accusations at him as soon as he picks up - and it’s the fact that some of these accusations are true that’s so damaging. but the rest is wild leaps and bounds of fiction that hyejung’s overactive imagination has conjured up, and he knows trying to talk her down - to reassure her that he hasn’t done anything to ‘endanger’ their daughter is a lost cause. it was a difficult balancing act keeping his personal and professional life completely separate, but something he’d managed none the less. he never told anyone his birth name, so nothing he ever involved himself in could come back to hurt mijoo or his baby mama from hell.

nonetheless, it’s evident that teddy is spiraling - the wheels in his mind rapidly turning as he tries to figure out how this information could have leaked. he only had a few friends he still talked to, much less confided in from his old life - and one of those friends happened to be damian. which is how he ends up at his old friend’s door with a drink-holder filled with coffee and a distraught look on his face. the coffee was the least he could do, the most half-assed apology he could manage for the potential hell he was about to put his old friend through. 

A quiet night, it was what Feng Wu needed after all of this. This week had been hell. Back to back long shifts, a busy emergency department, made for one very tired Feng Wu. Yet. She she knew that she wouldn’t sleep, even if she went home and tried.Taking a bite out of the folded pancake, she let her feet dangle over the edge of the wall, she was just too short to touch the ground from here...but it had one of the best morning views in the city.

The rest of the city was about to wake up. The morning was racing in, the sun was rising over the river, the morning birds were on the pavement in front of her, bumbling around to shake off their morning stupor. Soon people would be commuting, bustling their way to offices and workplaces, ready for another day of...well...life.

Right now, Feng Wu would happily freeze this moment, and just exist in it content with her street food and company. A gente elbow, “hey,” she said softly, trying to catch his attention, “hey,” she repeated herself, another elbow, while her question was not important, it was slightly out there. Blame it on the lack of sleep and the fact she’d been awake for far, far too long.

A pirate’s life meant obviously a lot of time traveling through the seven seas, but it wouldn’t mean that one didn’t had any time to enjoy the pleasures existing within firm ground. Elisa slid her way to one of the booths within the diner she found as her ship reached land. The other members of the crew had went to their own preferred places of entertainment -- To which she didn’t had to guess much where that could be by, seeing the late hour and while she could had went along, she preferred to stay behind and have another type of treat instead.  Sweets from time to time got her in trouble, but it was hard to resist a caramel ice-cream and some waffles with chocolate syrup. Once thanking and paying in advance for the treats by sliding the cash on the employee’s cleavage with a wink, she took a little bit of each and ate with gusto. Been a long while since she had sunk her teeth on such things, as they didn’t do good while on days on end on the ship and when she last noticed, a few sounds, might had ran past her scarlet lips. Because whom wouldn’t when their diet was so restricted on the usual? 

Maybe she wouldn’t if she recalled she was in a public place and if she had at least one ounce of shame in her. Remember the trouble she would get in? Usually it would take other less interesting forms, but as she heard something hit the table and bounce a little ahead and then later knock her in the head was when she realized that perhaps she was bothering someone. The blonde’s head turned to the side, to study whomever was behind her without turning completely, so to see if she wouldn’t have another piece of fruit smashed into her and once seeing that things had calmed, she turned her head further behind to face the other and rose one eyebrow as if to ask if the person ran out of blueberries, despite knowing that it was probably her damn fault for being so dramatic as she ate.

“Not a fan of fruit or was I being too loud?” She finally questioned, not holding the smile that was forming in her lips due to amusement over the whole situation and observed the other as she tilted her head slightly to the right, letting her body spin their way slightly now, as she waited for what the response would be.

It was his brilliant idea. At least it seemed to be when he passionately talked about the weekend getaway, about the woods and camping. Jimin wanted to experience nature waking him up in the morning with the song of the birds and whisper of the wind, wanted that same nature to lull him to sleep with stars shining brilliantly in the dark evening sky. He wanted to get in the touch with it, wanted to unplug himself from the world and just enjoy. He kept on wanting, kept on dreaming, kept on talking about it until his friend finally agreed to join him.

Jimin was ecstatic at first, googling everything they needed, asking around, watching videos, reading as much as he could about the camping and the benefits of it. But it wasn't enough. Nothing was able to prepare him for this. He found himself standing in front of the large area they cleaned, ground cloth already being laid down by Damian. The said male was on his way to the car, getting the rest of their things while leaving Jimin alone to assemble the tent.  "I'm not really sure what to do with these..." Jimin could sense his voice being absorbed by the trees surrounding him, for a moment making him question if he ever said anything at all or did the words stay inside of his mind. He was gripping at the two tent poles he held in his hands, trying to understand what to do with them while looking down at the tent frame. Jimin knew that staring at it won't make the tent magically assemble itself though that didn't mean he couldn't try. Unfortunately, it didn't work, making Jimin chuckle and shake his head as he crouched down and started pushing the pole through the body of the tent, hoping he was sliding it through the right slot. "Uh, maybe like this?" He wondered, tongue peeking out of the corner of his mouth in child-like concentration, doing his best with the task he was given.

as the two were talking, hyeri was not feeling like herself. it was a very long story between her boyfriend, well ex-boyfriend now, and her. he had left her for another girl and hyeri knew all a long that he was with another female, but was just waiting for her boyfriend to tell her the truth. the only reason she waited was that hyeri believed in him and thought of him more than a d o u c h e bag. but when he had called her out to the cafe that they met and broke her heart into a million pieces, all she thought of, at that moment, was ‘was i not enough?… how could i have not seen this coming?’

after leaving him from the cafe, she saw him happily with his ‘new’ girlfriend. his arms wrapped around her waist, like the way he used to do with hyeri. she, hyeri, was horrible with confrontation and hated herself for not being able to talk back to her so called “boyfriend”. so she dreaded about it all day.

Minwoo was just enjoying the night, looking up at the stars as he tried to forget about the world around him. It was so easy to just drift off and think of nothing and everything at the same time. The young werewolf was almost to the point where he was able to forget that he should be going home soon, but just as he was pushing the thought from his mind an unfamiliar scent had the young male crashing back to reality. On his feet in mere seconds Minwoo instantly started following the stranger’s scent. There shouldn’t have been anyone in their territory, sure sometimes humans wandered in but... With how on edge his pack had been lately, he knew it wouldn’t be safe for any intruder here, human or not. Putting on a small smile as he got closer, Minwoo made sure to not to sneak up on the stranger, clearing his throat before he was speaking.

“I know your secret.” The woman declared as she stared down at the male seated on the couch and with her arms crossing over her chest she quirked a brow. “I never thought you’d go hiding things from your baby sister. I’m disappointed.” She didn’t know anything at all but that wasn’t going to stop her trying to put the fear of god into her friend.
