>. Had she gone too far this time?

"Don't -- Don't you fucking start with me right now, H a r v e y. I don't want to hear it--" Binary hated it. Hated that he was the only one who could see right through her bullshit and never hesitated to call her out on it. No matter how hard it was to hear the truth, he forced her to listen --;; and most she hated she'd never want anyone else.

"---- What do you want me to say? That no -- I don't recognize even an inch of my old self anymore? That I can no longer relate to that girl in those photos from two years ago?"

She wanted to throw something. To yell at him, to tell him to leave her alone -- but she stood rigid, her mind dissociating from the storm that was erupting within.

"So spare me the crap and tell me already. That I'm too far gone. That Roy -- Roy and his fucking asshole company managed to do what he sought to do all along. To ruin me. To make me rotten to the core."

Not everyone believed in second chances. Not everyone believed that luck would deliver them their truth. In her eyes, there was nothing but search and destroy...But if that was the bitter truth...why was her eye welling up with tears at the mere thought of becoming the very thing she sought to become all along?

"I don't---I don't want to be ruined. I never wanted this, Harvey ---"

Tear after tear, the mascara smudged underneath her eyes. A soft, hitched breath escaped her cramping lungs as she struggled to meet his gaze.

Seeking his comfort as much as denying herself of it.

"...---Will I ever be f r e e ...?"

"---H a h . F-Fuck, Roman."

“Hehe... dog paws...”

“It’s 2:30 in the morning, so shut the fuck up!”

“Do you want to be loved? Like a T. rex?”

“We’re talking about a guy that punches doors.”

“Stop making me say baby!!”

“Take that, ASS GOBLIN!!”

“Why dontcha make like a tree and get hit by a bus, ya tramp!”

“What do you want, free hair? Do you think hair grows on trees??”

“What’s that gotta do with banana phones?”

“I wonder if this guy’s super self conscious about his legs...”

“Oh really?? Well if potatoes don’t have blood, what do you think KETCHUP is made out of??”

He got there early, which actually, was kind of a first. It’s not like Hyukjae was far from punctual, he was just really bad at managing time sometimes, which yes, he knew it probably wasn’t too professional, but truthfully, what can you do when you want to do many things on the same day? He couldn’t help it, it was kind of a habit at this point... and the good thing about it was that Aroon knew. Of course he did.

Dropping his bag next to the nearest wall, Hyukjae pulled his phone out of his pocket and opened his text conversation with his best friend. To pull a small joke on him (if you could even call it a joke), he texted him expressing how disappointed he was on him for “being late”, especially when he had been there waiting for him “at the time we agreed on”. He knew it was okay to joke with it because they never held anything against each other, at least not seriously. 

He’d never dare hold anything against him, anyway. Even if something bad ever happened between them, Hyukjae knew he’d never have the strength to fight him, no, not Aroon. He was bad at conflict and generally terrible at confronting issues, but with his best friend? It only got worse. It was physically impossible to be mad at him, even if he tried. They had been friends since the very first day he was signed as a trainee and since then, they had been inseparable.

Walking over to the sound system, he plugged his phone to the console and took his time choosing the song he wanted to dance to as a warm up. Once he made up his mind and the song started to play, he walked over to the center of the studio. With one swift movement, he turned back his hat so it wouldn’t block his view, if at all. To the rhythm of the music, he moved. Some steps were firm, some steps were a bit lazier than the others, some even looked sloppy. Hyukjae had always been good at learning whatever choreography they wanted him to learn; but when it came down to freestyle? He felt like he was terrible at it, or at least, that was his perception.

To say Taehee was excited would be a huge understatement. For weeks, after the company let her and her group mates know they soon would be working on their comeback, she truly couldn’t even describe the happiness she felt. Sure, for some time now, she had been actively making appearances here and there with Heaven, which was phenomenal because she knew she couldn’t stay home forever or else she’d go absolutely nuts. Either way, knowing they were going to work on something new, something fresh, brought her an undeniable happiness.

After weeks on top of weeks of preparations, Taehee’s confidence grew, something she had lost along the way but was slowly, yet surely, working on achieving once again. She was so satisfied with what the group was doing and could only hope the fans would be just as excited as she was. 

Today was the perfect day to figure that out. She had woken up with the biggest smile on her face, and she was pretty sure she kept that goofy smile throughout the rest of the day. Maybe it was a bit bizarre to some, but to her, it meant everything. Of course, she was both happy and nervous about the fans’ reaction towards her, but luckily, she didn’t go through anything bad, so that only further eased her into feeling more comfortable, into thinking that /maybe/ they forgot. It couldn’t be though, she’s always been more than aware that they never forget, but a girl was allowed to dream.

One of the best parts about this was getting to see familiar faces you haven’t seen in so long. Last time Taehee saw so many people was at the Gayo show and after party, and even so, it wasn’t like she had managed to meet up with many of them. She had seen faces pass by, had waved her hand at someone, you name it. Yet, she felt like there were still plenty of people she didn’t have the luck to catch up with before. 

10... 9... 8...

With the countdown in the final seconds of the year started, we hope you’ve found someone to share the first moments of the new year with!

J'lihmu Rhatni's outfits

Tagged by: @alexia-reybrant

General: Li wears outfits that are mostly breezy, and that shows off a lot of skin. There’s also a lot of fur, fur coats everywhere (Yoshi pls tm) although if she’s not in any snowy terrain (or anywhere cold) she prefers loose fitting outfits.

Adventuring: She has two types of outfits she wears on occasion. Throughout her adventure in liberating Ala Mhigo, she had switched to a more ‘casual’ attire, although some of her friends jokingly called her a ‘pirate’ for it. It’s a bit more revealing compared to her tribe’s outfit.

Her second one is basically something close to what she’d wear back home, and decided to wear it almost close to the end of the liberation of Ala Mhigo. A tribute to her home, as well as Curious Gorge for helping her overcome her own Inner Beast, sort of (and his, and his love life-).

These outfits can also be considered what she wears around the towns. For J’lihmu, they’re pretty casual although the first one would fall more into that category than her warrior clothing.

Swimsuit: Believe it or not, J’lihmu is quite self-conscious about her body with all the scars she has. She didn’t have any swimsuits until much later on, a certain friend decided she’d look very cute in one. Much to her dismay, they were able to get one for her... but, she didn’t dislike it as much as she thought she would.

This is the only pair she has currently, and she’s in love with it. The colors, the flower necklace (and she also wears the necklace both she and Gan wear together at all times) and she recently got a corsage to add as an accessory whenever she relaxes and goes swimming.

At home: Her outfit basically consists of her hempen camise and some short shorts she’s had for the longest of time. Even if they’re mostly used in her home, she also goes outside of her house for small moments with them, because she’d prefer to not get into her full outfit when she feels ultimately lazy and wants to relax with her life-partner.
