jaehyuk: no, i'm in space... yes, i'm in my office, min.

jaehyuk: i can easily have someone lock the door for me....

jaehyuk: 10? for a 20 min drive? someone's desperate to see me.

jaehyuk: downtown, usual spot.

jaehyuk: who said i was at home? 😉

jaehyuk: come find me if you wanna see me so bad.

"if you keep that up, you won't get to see any 'trick' of mine." jaehyuk retorts with a slight scoff, though his tone is all but serious. an empty threat he's sure the other can pick up on. however, his features soften as the other starts talking about his job, head tilting to the side to give the other his full attention even though his hands are still busy fulfilling the task he was given. "would imagine it's kind of hard to get irritated or pissed off when you're surrounded by pretty things all day." jae says with a nod, gesturing towards the abundance of flowers that were in the room.  "though i'm sure you've dealt with a few... less likable customers. i've seen clips of that one show — shit what's it called?! bridezillas?? is that the title?" he asks with a slight chuckle. jae couldn't even imagine trying to put up with one of the brides-to-be on that show, his patience for things like that was far too thin. "okay maybe twenty minutes, if you're lucky.. but that's pushing it." he teases, glancing over at the other as a slight smirk starts to form across his features. "depends. i could be persuaded to put it off until tomorrow." there's a certain tone to his voice, though he doesn't glance back over at takeshi as he speaks, pretending to be more focused on his 'work' than the conversation they were having. "aw, is someone mad they don't get to feel what my sheets feel like against their skin?" he teases, a tsk of his own falling form his lips as he turns to fully face the other. "luckily enough for you, i practically work from home."

"you're lucky i'm patient enough to be curious!" jae grins back, wiggling his brow for added effect. "if i told you what i did, i'd have to kill you. which i don't really want to do considering you're joining me for food." he teases, nodding his head. "yes, i'm paying for the food. wouldn't have asked you to come only to expect you to pay for your meal."

there's a bad habit that follows jaehyuk no matter where he goes, and part of it happened to be the fact he seemed to be a creature of the night. finding solace in the shadows that the moonlight creates, the sky almost as pitch black as the pavement beneath his feet. that's half the reason he's headed towards isaac's apartment as late as he is, trying to be as quiet as possible in the hallways so he doesn't disturb his neighbors. the other reason he had picked isaac as the person he wanted to accompany him was because the other intrigued him. he wasn't sure why, but isaac seemed to be some breath of fresh air. something new, something different. fragile, even. but he doesn't want to describe anyone as that, doesn't want to assume something he isn't sure is even the truth. however, the interactions he'd had with the other lead him to believe the other is like porcelain, fragile in the most beautiful and elegant ways possible. "hi babe." he grins, shoving his hands into the pockets of his jeans once more as his body leans to the side to rest against the door frame. "yeah, i want you to come with me.. you were the first person i thought of. it's beautiful out there tonight, wanted you to be able to enjoy it with me." jae replies, a slight rise and fall of his shoulders following the words that drip from his lips. "take your time, issy. there’s no rush.." the male continues, taking a step into the other's apartment, gently closing the door behind him. "we've got all night."

"considering falling down is not the 'trick' i was talking about." he quips, brow raised. "not hurt the flowers. got it." the male nods, closing his knife before shoving it back into his back pocket, picking up the scissors. "you really like this job, don't you?" jae asks, his tone quiet as he does so. perhaps he needed to pick up a 'side job' that he loved just as much as the other loved being around flowers. "your shop looks like it did help, maybe more than you even intended it to." he continues, a small smile barely tugging the corners of his lips upwards as he glances over at takeshi. of course once the other starts handing over flowers that he'd cut, jae takes them and places them in the water where they belong. "i was teasing you. figured they had to be good sellers once you told me they weren't for the wedding." the dark haired male replies, tone still as gentle as it had been not too long ago. "i'd say it paid me for maybe ten minutes of overtime, and we're already pushing that time frame." he chuckles, freehand carding through his hair before he goes back to the flowers he was working on before. "up to you, i suppose. i can do the shit i need to do at like midnight tonight so i'm free."

"ah, understandable. you'll have to tell me what it is eventually, you've got me curious." he replies with a slight nod of his head. "no big deal, it's not like the people i know would want a specific time frame of when we could use their places, so just let me know whenever you're free." jaehyuk shrugs, a slight grin pulling on his lips. "maybe my cockiness comes from my confidence?" he teases lightly. "sushi it is. there's a real good place just a few blocks from here."

jaehyuk has always been the outgoing type, someone who'd put himself out there and he wasn't shy about it. that's perhaps what drew him towards isaac in the first place.. the other seemed to be a complete opposite of himself and well, jae being the person he was, he wanted to spend time with the other. 'rub off' on him if that was even possible for him to do. that's why he's showing up at the other's door around twenty minutes after midnight, black hoodie, black jeans and black shoes adorning his body as he knocks at issy's door. he hopes the other isn't sleeping, because even though he did want to spend time with the other, he didn't want to interrupt issy's sleeping schedule. "hi issy." he grins, leaning against the door frame. "so, i was thinking..." the male continues, slender fingers reaching out to gently cup the other's chin. "it's beautiful outside tonight, barely any clouds.. perfect weather to go on a walk and then maybe to that diner that's open twenty-four-seven?" jae explains, brow raising lightly. "and well, i don't want to go alone. so i figured i'd come to the one person that can actually compete with how pretty it is outside, and that just so happens to be you." there's a tiny smirk that pulls on the edges of his lips. "what do you say, babe? wanna come for a walk with me?" // @kalcpsiia​

he was known for just showing up at sooyoung's door without even so much as a text telling her he was on his way. today was no different, clad in all black with his usual silver accessories as he strides towards the other's apartment. he's asked her to go on drives before, more than once. but tonight it was a little different, there was something else going on that he wasn't going to really be up-front about with her. not until they were almost there, that is. he knocks, once, twice, three times and then takes a step back, leaning his weight onto one leg, hands shoved in the pockets of his ripped jeans as he waits for the door to open. "surprise, it's your favorite nuisance showing up unannounced once more!" he smirks, posing in a dramatic position before a chuckle falls past his lips. "hope you're not busy, because if you are, i'm gonna need you to cancel whatever plans you had and come with me instead." there's a faux-pout on his features as he speaks, jutting his bottom lip out on purpose before placing both palms on the surface of the doorway, leaning towards sooyoung. "i wanna go on a drive and i want you to come with me." the male starts, brow raising up at the other. "i'll literally do whatever you want after this but just — please??"

"would me dropping to my knees right here, right now be enough to do the trick or do i need to think more outside of the box?" he asks with the same kind of nonchalance. he isn't being completely serious, though he is curious. he can't lie about that. "why? what's the difference between a blade and scissors?" jae asks, glancing back at takeshi for a moment. "so you're saying that what i'm doing isn't vital for right now, but you're having me do it anyways?" he teases with a slight shrug of his shoulders. he's quite for a bit after that, turning around to lean against the counter as he continues to work through the flowers, listening to the other talk. "and here i thought you couldn't get any cuter. guess i was wrong." jaehyuk mumbles out, a small but semi-fond grin pulling on the edges of his lips. "did it help them?" he asks, genuinely curious as he places the few flowers he was done with down into the water. "better to have it done now than wait for whoever you were talking about." he continues, grin turning into a slight smirk. "you paid me for some overtime, not all of it. joining me for food would pay the rest of my time off. plus, you'd get food out of it. can't really say no to that can you?"

"hunter, right? unless you want me to call you something else." he grins, brow raising ever-so-slightly at the other's comment. "she doesn't really have to know, does she? i've got a few places i could talk to. get the place on an off night when no one's even there if you do want to. just let me know." jae continues, running a hand through his hair gently before shoving both hands into the pockets of his jeans. "is there anything wrong with being a little bit cocky?" he asks, looking over at hunter with a chuckle. "what kinda food you in the mood for?"

i absolutely love fall. the colors changing, being able to wear sweaters and hoodies. bonfires and s’mores. fuck pumpkin spice bullshit, though. peppermint is where it’s at.

far better than the start of 2018, honestly. can’t complain. i’m healthy, haven’t been arrested for anything, get to do whatever i want to do. life’s good.
