The thing about unknowingly -sort of, laterally- being part of the mob on your mother's side is it'll catch up with you one day. Chay would know. Sometimes it catches up with you in such a convoluted, painful way it leaves you crying in an unfamiliar room for days on end. And then, after weeks of seclusion and some gentle begging from your older brother, you can even try to move through it.

My brain: but what about a Kim pov of the rest of the night

Then, after nearly twenty-five minutes of waiting, there is Porsche. Kim takes one look at him and understands what the selling point of this scam is. Porsche is fit and tan and gorgeous, which works wonderfully with a weak man such as Kim's brother. "Sorry for the wait!" Kim feels a sense of dread crawl up his spine at the way Kinn struts to the newcomer, taking off his sunglasses. He shoots a look to Big. Please don't leave me alone with these two. All he gets back is a frown and a puff of smoke. - Kim's pre-tour vacation in Phuket takes a weird turn when Kinn decides to involve him in a sailing trip. Witnessing his brother's pathetic attempt at flirting isn't part of his definition of relaxing, but at least there is Chay.

Chay stumbles on it by accident. He's done his due diligence of clearing his social media following of anything even remotely Wik-related, but the post still makes its way into his timeline on the merit of being about the band.

It's two pictures, black-on-red words of Maybe Now in one and what Chay takes embarrassingly short to recognize as a very old Wik song in the other.

And seven days ago / when it was raining outside your door

Seven days until I see you / and it'll be raining I know

User bemywiiik, who has a close up of Kim's ringed hand as their profile picture, captioned it: "Sentinel has a baby sister! No wonder I like Lost Idea's single so much."
