✘ CLOSED STARTER — @msuxhamin​ 

Malia didn’t think it’d be very hard to stick closely to her brother, but the amount of people at the fair had definitely caught the girl off guard. Each time they were stopped by one of Nate’s friends to say hello, Malia would quietly step back from the group, not wanting to interfere with her brother’s social life. It worked out pretty well the first few times too— until she looked away for a second and he was nowhere in sight. She knew shouting wouldn’t help and she’d lent her phone to their mother since neither of the Moon siblings had believed they would end up in this kind of scenario. But despite still being unfamiliar with the campus grounds, Malia figured it would be best to follow the crowd, hoping she’d run into him again.

In doing so, the young wizard found herself at the entrance of the forest. The crowd had dwindled down, but there was still a handful of students walking further into the dirt path. As she continued to walk, Malia had caught the sound of magical creatures. Before she knew it, there was a whole zoo. Groups of friends were petting the animals and taking pictures with them, making memories for themselves together. Malia watched with a feeling of desire. She missed her brother, but she knew it was probably best to stay out of his way.

excessive, misleading praise given under the whims of intoxication. see also: hana and @msuxhamin, mokseong’s halloween party, and what happens when you pair powerful alcohol and delicious flattery. 

she feels a nonchalant lull sink deep into her veins. 

it keeps her afloat on a wave of numbness ; the tingling feeling in the pit of her stomach distracts her from the constant static lain privy to a girl who was so used to being wound so tight. tonight should have been no different -- yet, she feels the burn from her last drink scald her throat as it warms her cheeks -- the night wanes to different endeavors opposite of worn books. 

a residual flush clears from her cheeks to her very nape as she tosses the empty cup that had last been shoved into her hands by blake or selene ( at this point, she’s lost count how many she’s had -- an idea of who was supplying her her alcohol, now, also a bit fuzzy ) ; it was so irresponsible, something hana by no other definition was not.

cho hana being irresponsible? it was practically unheard of. 

but she stands, slightly unsteady on her feels -- pink wig slightly askewed as she rhythmically sways to the thrill running up and down her arms ; the erratic thump of edm beats in time with the heavy weight of her heart, urging her further down the depths of a sea she couldn’t quite pull herself out of. the thrill pulls inhibition and instinct forward ; leaving rhyme and reason for tomorrow’s regrets. just like how her arms pull her into one of a boy she’s seen a handful of times -- what was his name again? ah -- “hamin-ah~” her voice rings out a little too affectionately for their positions ; she barely knows him. but her fingers curl into his fit, tip-toeing up to poke his nose with a soft laugh. “you’re so cute? do you know that? have the other sophomores told you that yet -- no?” she gasps, as if it physically hurt her that no one sought the same thoughts as she regarding the other’s appearance. “that just wouldn’t do -- you have to know how delicious you look!”

Kevin had gone back up to his dorm to do some costume touch-ups and re-energize himself for the night with a few pre-game shots of soju. What he hadn’t expected to come back to was Hamin. Especially not a Hamin who looked ready to head to bed.

“Bro, bro, bro! What do you think you’re doing?!” He rushed over to the other before he could try to sneak away. Ever since they’d first met back at Hogwarts, Kevin always felt the need to drag the other along to join in his antics. It had truly caught him off-guard when the other was not only willing to participate, but just as crazy in his ideas! If Kevin was the brawn of each operation, Hamin was the brain. He knew that he wouldn’t be able to do half of the things he did without the other, and he wouldn’t have it any other way.

Following the events of Halloween, Malia couldn’t help but feel hung up on the fact that she’d left Hamin alone with the googly-eyed apple bobbing attendant following their coincidental apple peel reveal. He’d really come to her rescue when it came to warding off the silly comments they’d gotten, and yet she still ran away in the end. It was all over thinking on her part— she was sure of this much. But Malia also knew that the guilt would continue to gnaw at her mind if she didn’t do something to alleviate it. 

As the two made their way to Starbrew, the girl took the opportunity to thank the other. “Thanks again for taking the time to see me.” She turned her attention away from the walkway ahead of them, looking towards her company beside her instead. “I know it’s kind of silly, but I just felt really bad about leaving you to deal with the attendant alone. It didn’t seem like she believed a word you said and I could just feel her smile burning into my skin!” Malia jokes, sort of, shaking her head at the thought.

She didn’t want to seem as excited as she actually was during her first trip to the apple bobbing activity. If she had been, Malia just assumed that Taejun may have started asking questions about the initial she hoped to bob (and who it belonged to). Now that she’d been through this once, the girl was confident that she’d be able to bob a good one this time around.

And when she did manage to get one, it wasn’t the initial she had her sights sent on. “H.” She said aloud with a small pout. As she did, the girl looked up at the other beside her, Hamin, letting a small chuckle out from her lips. It was a coincidence that she ran into him— similar to their first encounter. But thanks to that, she was able to learn more about thestrals and exactly why she was able to see them.

After taking a peek at his peel, noticing her own initial floating on the surface. While she’d let out a quiet noise of surprise, the activity attendant was much more ecstatic than the pair were— hooting over something about soulmates.
