growing up, hyewon had learned intimately what it felt like to be overlooked and left out. having a twin had been something that had shown her the duality of friendships. she was included while simultaneously overlooked, cast in the shadow of her more energetic, outgoing twin. even at hogwarts, it had very much been the case that people had seen her as an extension of her brother, rather than as herself. fairly early on in her hogwarts years, she had decided that she hated the feeling. so she began befriending the people who reminded her of her, lonely, overlooked, ostracized. anybody who looked like they needed a friend, she stepped forward to hold out a hand, fighting past her own introversion to try and make a difference in someone’s life. 

that had continued into mokseong, though hyewon herself had changed — grown more confident in her own identity, less lost in the shadow of jaewon’s. she might not be completely sure of who she is, but she knows where she wants to go and what she wants to do. hyewon can sometimes get so caught up in taking care of others that her own needs are neglected, though. 

she’s in the toseong common room with ( @msuorion ), her head throbbing, and she rubs at her temples absently as she pores through her book. she knows the senior prefect has a reputation for being a bit of an asshole (which might be an understatement), but hyewon knows that orion isn’t actually a bad person. now if only others could see that, too... she scrunches up her face as a throb of pain pulses through her head, shivering involuntarily at the sensation. 

the trick with being petty and bitter was to talk to the right people. perhaps vindictive was the better word for what he was going for at the moment. “do you know haejin, by any chance?” 

he knew that orion knew him very well, better than hyunki, but still in a very similar way. and he wasn’t up to speed on the entire history there, didn’t really care to learn it all. he didn’t really care to concern himself with haejin in the context he was approaching orion. not again anyway. 

“of course, you know haejin.” there was really no point in hiding his attentions. it would be obvious anyway. hyunki smiles and says, “i had the unfortunate luck of sleeping with him a few weeks ago.” his tone is bitter and the hint of malice in his eyes betrays his smile. 

“and it wasn’t very good. i didn’t have fun.” sort of. it was a bit of a complicated situation. “i’m assuming you two have also slept together-- which, i’m sorry.” beside the point. he was getting off track. 

“basically, what i’m saying is that i think we should.” he wasn’t going to mince his words on this nor hide his intentions. “i like to ruin things for haejin and i know he won’t like it if i sleep with you so i’m asking, nicely, if you maybe want to... you know, fuck.” hyunki shrugs, seeming nonchalant about this. 

orion could say no and he would be fine with that, wouldn’t be so torn up, he would just think it’s fun, amusing, a little petty if he said yes. “if you don’t want to, i get it. you don’t know me, but... i’ve been told i’m very good in bed.” 

and each one of yours suck, @msuorion !!

the school year was already starting off rocky, much to cal’s dismay. but he still had an optimistic mindset that he preferred to go forward with the rest of the fall semester. is it still frustrating how he had to deal with his best friend and his childhood friend’s immature rivalry? yes. but that’s why he’s been creating distance with the both of them, even though it’s testing him with how he badly wanted to interact with the both of them. 

when it comes to people who were or are close to him, he never gets too frustrated with them if they ever just happened to make him feel like shit. really, he can’t get too upset at many people if they just happened to put him in a bad mood. however, there are those few people who he will not hold back from if they were to ever try him. and with those people, he feels as if it’s fair for him to dislike them as much as he does. 

* no spices (yet)

     he’s always liked simple friendships. it’s nice having someone who tells you something straight when you would rather hear it sugarcoated and they don’t do it no matter how you ask. it’s something of what he feels his relationship with @msuorion is, and he really does appreciate the other student. 

     honestly, jaewon isn’t quite sure how they had become friends. it’s probably something along the lines of how he’s the token extrovert of any given friend circle and has the uncanny ability to talk to an introvert for long enough that they eventually become friends. it happens more often than he thought it would, and he’s pretty sure it’s because he had been so used to taking care of his sister (who was an introvert) that it sort of just adapted and became half his personality. 

     not that he minded though, considering he’s made a lot of good friends out of this trait. 

     either way, he had somehow wormed his way into orion’s life and that’s manifested in him seeing things on the interwebs that reminded him of the older student which would consequently end up with him dragging said other out to try either a new restaurant, or a new food or drink or whatever fad had caught his eye and he thought they could enjoy together. and today is nothing new.
