‘fu-’

one moment yuanlan is still on her broom, then the next she feels someone else’s weight knocking into her. 

‘shi-’

free-falling through the air. usually she likes the wind on her face and in her hair, but not now. definitely not now. her words are more breath than actual sounds, and she tries to remember all the survival skills she learnt but they didn’t tell you that your brain probably turned to mush when you’re in mid-air.

‘crap-’

accio — @mmdaeil !

why is here, you ask? sunwoo doesn’t know either. what he does know is that he was a goner from the minute he said, “yes,” nodding at his sunbaes ( his wonderful, hazing-perpetrating, party crazed, dueling club sunbaes ) and grasping onto the money slipped into his clenched fist. from the minute he decided to take the road less traveled, the so called shortcut. from the minute he sees the colorful signs and streets of seoul morph into something less familiar, darker, grimier.

but his eyes are still bright—as bright as ever ( ripe for the taking ) as they dart from storefront to storefront, vendor to vendor. how is he supposed to find something as obscure as “the shady looking wizard with a stash of jinxed soju at the street corner” is uncertain. the definitive: he really doesn’t belong here.

he doesn’t belong among the shadows that lurk around every dim streetlamp. among the strangled pleas and desperate shouts. and certainly not among the peddlers lining the dingy alleyway in which he is currently trying to pass through.

it's a strange predicament, really. a glassy eyed boy, filled with nothing but blood in his veins ( gold in his heart ) , strays a bit too far from the yellow brick road. said boy is a lamb, wandering freely, willingly into the lion’s den. of course, he doesn’t realize this. not when his intentions are pure, bleach white.

he doesn’t realize this even as he’s about to hand his money over to some strange looking lady with a toothy smile and a tight, rough grip on his forearm. he’s desperate now, just wanting it to stop. to be left alone and on his merry ol’ way again.

“ahjumma, please,” the enunciation of the latter and the strain in his voice does nothing to deter her though. she’s hungry for her prey—the green and blue bills in sunwoo’s left hand.

and when her nails start digging into his skin, her voice becoming frantic, he concedes. he’ll just have to deal with his disappointed ( sober ) sunbaes later. right now, he just wants to go home.
