         it’s not exactly surreptitious, the way jiwon kind of ducks his head to the side to avoid being seen by her  ---  as if dahee hasn’t already noticed, wasn’t probably already walking up by the time he tried to hide. he gives himself a half-second of panic before he raises his head again  &  then rolls down the window.  ‘  uh... fuck. hey.  ’

‘    is  there  something  you  wanna  tell  me   ?    ’    word  gets  around   quickly   in  the  industry   ,   kaya  informed  by  a   mutual   friend  of  some  information  she  wonders  if  hayun  has  the   guts   to  tell  her  herself   .

        “oh  --- ” there was certain excitement in the tone of her voice. “you can see me ?” they didn’t seem to be god or shinki  --- she’d be able to tell that much ( or so she’d hope ). the beige ‘ tail ’ attached to her backside seemed to flicker, if only momentarily. “like really see me ?”

     it was him who had been weak that night. he’d blame it on the alcohol, but his thoughts were clear. no sign of a hazy detour; it was a clear sky ride that led him straight to her door. he swear he couldn’t be blamed. there was a few quiet moments where he sat in his car watching her silhouette go from one room to the next, and at first that was enough. until it wasn’t. until the shadow of her frame went in one room and never came out. that’s when the need became too strong, and his car door slammed shut and his legs moved at a speed much faster than his mind could tell them to stop, and then he was in front of her. trying his best to give nonchalant smile as he breezed in through the door. “have you been well?” he asked in a tone that was meant to be bright, but instead came off as rushed and a bit panicked. “you can ask why i’m here, but i...-- honestly, i can’t give you an answer..”

          “i should stop coming over here. nari throws a fit every time she finds out that i came here without seeing her.” she’d probably throw more of a fit if she knew what they were doing when he came over. 

‘     ...    and  what  exactly  are  you  doing  here    ?   don’t  you  know  what  time  it  is   ?   i  thought  rookies  like  you  had   curfews   .    ’     brow  is  raised  in  suspicion   ,   eyeing  skylar  up   &   down  out  of  curiosity  and  admittedly  something   else   ,   mainly  due  to  the  liquor  still  in  his  system  from  festivities  he’d  attended  just  hours  ago   .   he’s  been  home  for  thirty  minutes  only  for  slumber  to  be   interrupted   by   an   unexpected   guest   .

        “i was so nervous for my math test that i walked RIGHT into the boys bathroom --- didn’t even notice until i was all the way in !! i’ve never ran so fast in my life.”

      ‘ guess what i did !! ’
