It felt like it had been forever since Diana had had a moment to write, and it was beyond frustrating to her. So, given that she had the day off, she decided that today was the day that she would get some writing done. She had told Hwiyoung she was working and had risked turning off her phone, just in case he decided to check in. She just wanted a little bit of peace. She just wanted to write. It used to make her happy, and she just wanted to feel that for a moment.

But she had been sitting at her kitchen table, staring at her notebook for the past two hours, and she had barely written a word. A few scant notes lined the margins of the page, but nothing real. She was just coming up blank. It was like someone had flipped a switch on her creativity, had just completely turned it off. She sighed, resting her head on her folded arms and closing her eyes.

Then someone knocked on the door. She jolted upright, her eyes wide and her heart hammering. But it couldn’t be Hwiyoung--it would have been pounding if it were him, surely. She took a deep breath and stood on shaky legs, grabbing a hoodie from her couch before she made her way to the door. It was warm in her apartment, but she tugged the sweater on anyway to cover the discoloured splotches on her arms and shoulders.

“I know this sounds really weird, but would you mind pretending to be my date for a bit?” Diana whispered into Jinseok’s ear as soon as she approached him, leaning in intimately close, her trembling hands placed gently on his chest. Apparently, heartbreak and anger made her bold. She just wanted Hwiyoung to think she was unbothered. To think that she could move on as quickly as he had. And there was the fact that Jinseok was strong, imposing despite his sweet nature, and she needed something to make her feel safe. 

Maybe he was too loud or, the other was too close to hear his conversation with a customer, either way, they ended up having a conversation. Raiden explained (briefly) his situation and kept the topic towards the client service dynamic that he was still not used to but, time would be his best ally.

The more words they shared, the less formal Raiden was, accepting, without a second thought, the offer to see everything in the island. "It does mean a lot that you are willing to show me around. Tomorrow around 2 in the afternoon then?"

Tentative eyes trailed up from where Valentina was staring into the coffee mug in her hands. She was confused as she met Jinseok’s eyes, not quite placing all her memories from the night before in the right boxes in her mind. All she really remembered so soon after waking was meeting up with Jinseok while she was out with a few friends bar hopping, having a few drinks together and having a great time like they usually do together. Then all she can remember is waking up what she could only assume was his couch. Her head was pounding and she felt sick to her stomach, she hadn’t partied that hard in a while and it was coming back to haunt her very quickly. She chewed at her lip for a moment before she shrugged and spoke up sluggishly.

“Well obviously we didn’t sleep together because, number one you’re in a very loyal relationship and number two I’m on the couch. So, that means I must have done some reckless while we were out and you had to play knight in shining armor?” At least he had the decency to sound apologetic for what she could only imagine was her being quite a handful while inebriated.

“Old-?!” Chinsun physically flinches as she hears the words from the (admittedly) younger demigod in her apartment. Even if he had said ‘older’, some words were still not friendly! Leant forward towards her bathroom mirror she had been finishing her eyeliner before nearly giving herself a very Egyptian eye look as she hears him shout out, not appreciating being shooed away when she was trying to get ready for her work gala. Yet, hearing his dejected voice she groans softly, rolling her eyes before dropping her eyeliner back onto the sink counter top and pulls her dress straps back up over her shoulders.

“C’mon Jinseok, I’m hungry! We can play later.” Melody whined as she shoved her mitten covered hands further into her pockets. Deep brown eyes watching her big, little brother giggle and start doing snow angels in the middle of the snow-covered park. If she wasn’t so amused with his child-like delight she would be more grumpy, considering they were supposed to be heading to lunch. The older of the two stood there, shivering and her stomach rumbling while also trying to hide her own giggles at Jinseok truly enjoying himself. It reminded her of her much younger brothers back home and how they enjoyed the heavily snowed-in winters of Buffalo. It made her homesick for just a moment before shaking it off and simply watching this brother have the time of his life in the icy powder.

A content sigh spilled from her lips as she stood there and watched him with a gentle smile. Before long, however, the older sister was whining again. “If you don’t hurry up, I’m going to go get lunch without you!”
