☯ — now you see me ✗
seungwoo’s days aren’t very exciting. he doesn’t know if he’d find them exciting even if they were anything other than hydrus headquarters, the grotto and home-- then the grocery, when he absolutely has to go, and restaurants to pick up food and coffee shops to survive. he “hangs out” with people, sure, always a social, albeit exhausted, person. it’s all just ultimately meaningless, and yet when he can gather the energy to drag himself out of his apartment (which miraculously ends up being nearly every day) he bums it at hydrus headquarters, getting any assignments they need him for and otherwise being a complete nuisance to distract himself from his disgrace of a life.
maybe if he’s obnoxious enough someone will get fed up and kill him. he knows hydrus members are volatile enough. (he’s counting on it.)
he’s on his way out of headquarters, likely to go inject coffee directly into his veins to fight the desire to sleep through the entire day, when he spots miteum standing outside. naturally, he makes his way over to him, eager to strike up a conversation. does seungwoo know how much he tortures miteum every time they speak? answer unclear, ask again later.
“miteum, my good friend!” he greets him. they are not really good friends. seungwoo considers them friends, but that’s seungwoo, and everyone is a friend to seungwoo, even if none of them are real friends. he’s at least aware enough to know miteum likely doesn’t consider them friends, but that doesn’t stop him. “you look so happy to see me!” he grins, always shameless, always pleased with his own jokes. (yes, that’s a joke about miteum being blind. he can’t actually see him, get it?)
