( `her lips curve down slightly, hands pressing her cheeks together as she narrows her eyes at him ) no no, that pie was technically mine first. but if i'm stuck with only the last option, i think it's only right you share, mhm!

“yeah? oh, c’mon ace. i’m not being that much of an ass. i’m just…” she let her words drift, bottom lip trapped lightly between her teeth as she thought of an excuse for her actions. “i just need your phone to call someone because my battery is dead! playing tsum tsum for hours does destruction to battery life, ya’know?” she flashed a cheeky grin towards the younger male, ignoring his irritated scowl. truth be told, it had been a long time since she’d seen him and she really just wanted to catch up with his life. she just wanted a short summary and what better way then to maybe sneak through his phone a little?

        Jo was a mess she truly was. Here she was, a beautifully cloudy day and while she should be focusing on the splatter of ice cream on the concrete she was more concerned with the length of her friend’s skirt. “Babe...baaaabeee, your skirt’s not short enough for this to work.” It must be the heat. The heat that retreated behind a shitty cloud whose excess spilled into her vulgar ventures. She’s with Soojung; nowadays she’s always with Soojung. She can barely leave the girl’s side. Attached at the hip wasn’t right, more like.....fused and defused in the right moments. In the shower, maybe. In the late night compulsions of her demons, more so. She took to nudging her friend over, no use crying over the spilled cone.

it was a struggle, really. going to overly crowded places like the fair and not being tall enough to see performers because the only thing she could see within her peripherals was a crowd of heads. she wasn’t that short, per say. it just so happened to be her unlucky day that almost everyone that had gathered around happened to be a bit taller than her. stretching on her tiptoes were of no use, and she only lasted two seconds before her feet declared exhaustion. “this is so stupid. why did we come here anyways.” she grumbled childishly and crossed her arms, tapping her feet as she continued to look around for a window of opportunity. she knew the answer to her own question: she had been dying to go to a fair and ace was willing to go with her. a snort was heard from the younger boy and her lips immediately curled into a sneer. “should i put you on my shoulders so you can see?” oh. well, maybe that would be a good idea too. craning her head back slightly, she gave her friend a quick once-over before nodding. “i’m not gonna hurt your back or anything if you put me on your shoulders…right? wait, this isn’t a joke either, is it—”

"Because you wanted to see all these acts perform, of course.” Ace answered her rhetorical question matter-of-factly as he glanced at her, a small smile on his lips. He also had his arms folded in front of his chest, his height allowing him a peaceful watching experience. Of all advantages there ever is regarding being tall, this just might be his top favorite. At one point, the girl’s whining finally seemed to bother him too, however. Searching for other options to help her but to no avail, Ace stretched his arms upward, let them fall to his side and ultimately offered kindness.

Chin placed on a thick pillow, Himchan splayed the whole length of his body along the base of the couch, not paying any mind to the friend he had crushed underneath in the process. He yawned widely, exhaustion creeping in and leaving its marks apparent in the dark bags under his eyes. Though it was blatantly obvious he was exhausted, he refused sleep. Sleep was a common occurrence these days, and it made the man feel dull. Becoming tedious was not an objective of his, in fact, it was quite the opposite. But the nimble fingers sneaking into his raven colored hair was not helping his condition. 

Eyelids began to flutter shut, discovering comfort in the simple action. If he had been using his mind in the moment, Himchan would have found it odd how kind Soojung was behaving given she was usually one to be snarky and ready to pounce onto any obvious weaknesses the male displayed, but, instead, he began to drift off. If it wasn’t for her hand gliding over a sensitive are, he may have done just that. 

"I can't hear anything."

"wait, what? you’re kidding me, right? you can’t hear anything?!” well shit. soojung wasn’t prepared for this to happen, but then again maybe it was her fault. he had told her the music was too loud but she insisted on turning the volume up until he yelled in protest and flung the earphones off. she only found it hilarious and keeled over on the floor. but that was when she was only met with silence and his face showed signs of confusion and panic. “ace, holy shit did i just make you go deaf? don’t play with me, jesus christ.” fear struck the girl and her eyes widened as she began to shake her friend. she wasn’t ready to hold responsibility for something like this just yet.
