❛ i should've worshipped them sooner. ❜
❛ we were born sick. ❜
❛ the only heaven i'll be sent to is when i'm alone with you. ❜
❛ i'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies. ❜
❛ good god, let me give you my life. ❜
❛ there is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin. ❜
❛ it's toying somewhere between love and abuse. ❜
❛ no more alone or myself i could be. ❜
❛ [i/you] lurched like a stray to the arms that were open. ❜
❛ i lay my heart down with the rest at [your/their] feet. ❜
❛ i wonder if it's better now having survived. ❜
❛ i'm so tired trying to see from behind the red in my eyes. ❜
❛ no better version of me i could pretend to be tonight. ❜
❛ [they/you] found me just in time. ❜
❛ cause with my mid-youth crisis all said and done, i need to be youthfully felt cause i never felt young. ❜
❛ it'd be great to find a place we could escape sometimes. ❜
❛ we tried the world and it wasn't for us. ❜
❛ you knew who i was with every step that i ran to you. ❜
❛ would things be easier if there was a right way? ❜
❛ honey, there is no right way. ❜
❛ i fall in love just a little bit every day with someone new. ❜
❛ there's an art to life's distractions. ❜
❛ love with every stranger, the stranger the better. ❜
❛ all i've ever done is hide. ❜
❛ when you kill the lights and kiss my eyes, i feel ike a person for a moment of my life. ❜
❛ but you don't know what the hell you put me through. ❜
❛ it feels good to be alone with you. ❜
❛ there are questions i can't ask. ❜
❛ now, at last, the worst is over. ❜
❛ i know that you hate this place. ❜
❛ there's something tragic about you, something so magic about you, don't you agree? ❜
❛ there's something lonesome about you, something so wholesome about you. ❜
❛ innocence died screaming. ask me, i should know. ❜
❛ there's something broken about this but i might be hoping about this. ❜
❛ we'll lay here for years or for hours, your hand in my hand. so still and discreet. ❜
❛ i'd be home with you. ❜
❛ any way to distract and sedate. ❜
❛ i'm somewhere outside my life. i keep scratching but somehow i can't get in. ❜
❛ don't you stand there watching me, won't you? ❜
❛ don't you join in, you're supposed to drag me away from it. ❜
❛ i'm so full of love, i could barely eat. ❜
❛ [they/you] are sweet as can be. [they/you] give me toothaches just from kissing me. ❜
❛ no grave can hold my body down, i'll crawl home to [them/you]. ❜
❛ you never asked me once about the wrong i did. ❜
❛ [you/they] would never fret none about what my hands and my body done. ❜
❛ if the lord don't forgive me, i'd still have you and you would have me. ❜
❛ why were you digging? what did you bury? ❜
❛ i will not ask you where you came from. i will not ask and neither should you. ❜
❛ just put your sweet lips on my lips. we should just kiss like real people do. ❜
❛ i know that look, eyes always seeking. ❜
❛ i will not ask you why you were creeping. in some sad way, i already know. ❜
❛ you know better than to smile at me like that. ❜
❛ i know who i am when i'm alone. ❜
❛ you don't understand. you should never know how easy you are to need. ❜
❛ don't let me in with no intention to keep me. ❜
❛ it can't be unlearned. i've known the warmth of your doorways. ❜
❛ i'll find my way back to you. ❜
❛ my heart is heavy with the hate of some other man's beliefs. ❜
❛ screaming the name of a foreigner's good is the purest expression of grief. ❜
❛ i feel no control of my body. i feel no safety in [your/their] arms. ❜
❛ all that i've been taught and every word i've got is foreign to me. ❜
❛ it looks ugly but it's clean. ❜
❛ your fight and fury is fiery. ❜
❛ it's worth it, it's divine. i have this some of the time. ❜
❛ you called my name til the fever broke. ❜
❛ i heard a scream in the woods somewhere. ❜
❛ i turned and ran to save a life i didn't have. ❜
❛ i need you to run to me. run to me! ❜
❛ when i was a child, i heard voices. some would sing and some would scream. ❜
❛ don't you ever tame your demons but always keep them on a leash. ❜
❛ you've done me wrong for a long, long time. ❜
❛ after all you've done, i never changed my mind. ❜
❛ please, try to love me. ❜
❛ my love will never die. ❜
"Wait so you're afraid of me? I guess I probably shouldn't have taken you on a date in the woods then huh? You'd better start running"

Minjun nodded as he understood. “Don’t cry.. I promise to go as slow as you need me to go.” He reached out carefully wiping away his tears. He held Youngnam close to his chest letting him cry into his arms. He rubbed his back tracing small circles on his back trying his best to soothe him. He hummed softly and looked down at him. “Can I do anything for you to make you feel better??” He asked him not wanting him to feel guilty or scared.
he just felt so very helpless in this situation often priding in himself that he would always have plan to get out of any sticky situation. but with what was happening now between the both of them was entirely unplanned as he obviously no intention in telling the older male just how truly felt about them and that he really wanted to take their relationship if you could even call it that at this point really to the next level thinking that now was not the right time for him to tell them as he was much too scared to face what they’d say about his sudden confession or how they would react to it as the last thing he wanted was for them to outright reject them or even worse comes to worse leave them because of this but yes ! he still did have the plan to tell them about this when they were both ready enough in their relationship to go through it but now that after just one intense drunken night out together here he was crying his eyes out having already confessed how he truly felt about his bestfriend and though they had confessed in return that they had felt the same way about him and wanted to given being boyfriends of one another a try opting in to take things as slow as he needed it to be ─── he just felt so much shame for forcing the other male into this situation without their prior consent as he had just practically dragged them into this mess on this lazy sunday afternoon where they should be just laying around nursing away their hangovers from the night prior here they both were coming to terms with the reality of what their relationship would and should be though he was still grateful towards minjun for being so warm & patient with him and despite everything they’ve both already gone through just today he had promised to be with youngnam through thick and thin no matter what at this point clinging on more tightly to the older male wanting to savor in their warmth as he slowly began to wipe away his remaining tears from his face before turning back towards them with a small smile already creeping onto his lips “ thank you so very much minjun for understanding. ” he said planting a gentle little kiss onto their cheek “ i’m just so sorry for being a crybaby today but maybe i can make it to you for all of the mess i’ve created today how about we have a movie night in and i can whip up some sort of feast for you how does that sound ? ” he added letting out a cute little giggle in response brushing one of his free hands onto their cheek.

his world had crumbled at this feet once he'd heard those painful words come out of their mouth. even if he knew that deep down they had meant those words completely , not hiding any sort of pretenses behind them that there was no way that kiyoung could just as easily move on from up until now was a still a very fresh even open wound upon finding out that the boyfriend he'd loved for many years was cheating on him and yes ! they had both made great strides towards their shared goal of moving on and putting what had happened in the past those very thoughts still had very much lingered at the back of his mind even now when they should be sharing his happy moment together for once in a very long time and as much he hated to admit it and as much as he hated to lose adrian ─── he was right that would so much better for them to part ways for now and silently work on things their own little ways with the thoughts of loosing his boyfriend a second time had only served to break him down even more than the initial news of finding out about the cheating ever did he honestly was already such a MESS inside not really able to trust not even himself , let alone the other people in his life he was already in shock from hearing those words coming out of their mouth that at first he didn't seem to react to their words instantly dropping the smile from his face and avoiding any and all eye contact with them before he'd finally spoken up “ you're right i understand. ” he said wrapping his arms around them one last time in return leaning in close to their body wanting to savior their warmth for the last time “ but please can we still sleep together in bed i just feel so scared without you. ” he added looking up at them fighting back the tears already welling up in his eyes.
all she could do in this very moment was laugh her ass off at least judging by the other female reacted to her prior words. she was glad more than anything that they didn't really take her words previously to heart and that she was clearly just joking with them , meaning no harm whatsoever to them only wanting to break the obvious tension between them as they had continuously poured over their notes for their upcoming math exam which only up until now had been looming over their heads as their professor had been basically threatening them that they'd NEVER graduate if they had failed this upcoming exam as it did count for more than half of their score for the whole entire semester and don't get me wrong here hannah did obviously care about passing her classes like any other college student would but it wouldn't really hurt anyone if they still had a little fun here & there while they were studying. that was until they had ducked their head down making it very clear to the both of them that they had been making too much noise at the library while they were doing so as they'd caught the attention of the librarian telling the both of them to keep it down or that the very next time they had caught them making too much noise again with their constant barge of giggles they'd kick them out before heading back to their duties filing away returned books from other students glancing over to make sure that their cost was clear before erupting again into laughter , smile becoming even more evident on her face before she had gently nudged by her friend in return from earlier “ hey ! if you weren't making so much noise we wouldn't gotten into trouble like that. ” she said words dripping with obvious sarcasm letting out another soft giggle in response “ i don't know either but we better study for this exam pls ─── my treat after this maybe ? ” she added pleading with them to continue what they were doing earlier pouting slightly in order to convince them.
IT TOOK A FEW SECONDS TO TRULY REGISTER what her friend had said before a mock expression of distaste followed and she grumbled , ❛ —- why you gotta do me dirty like that ? ❜ of course it was all in jest and the moment she felt her friend koala ' ing onto her , the breath against her neck had her jokingly pulling away placing a perfectly manicured hand over her face . ❛ ew bro , i don't want your cooties !! ❜ having been friends since the dawn of time , she felt comfortable acting in such a way with her . ❛ you used to say i was the prettiest girl in the world —- .. ❜ unable to keep a straight face at her own lie , she burst into a fit of giggles also before hearing the librarian shush them both . gritting her teeth , she ducked her head down before gesturing for hannah to be quiet with her index finger against natural pout .
❛ well done for getting us into trouble , ❜ a hissed whisper but humor evident in her tone as she nudged her friend once more for good measure . staring at the multitude of equations upon the page in front of her , she genuinely did feel like she was about to cry ( much to the dismay of her previous comment ) , a s t r e s s e d hand running through dark locks . ❛ i'm a history major .. what has maths gotta do with anything ?! ❜
no matter how many times they'd fight and argue with one another over the same stupid little things. he would be lying even to himself that no matter volatile their relationship had become over the years they've been together there was something almost inhuman that had been pulling him towards ian , that no matter how many times he'd go over and over in his head that he had to get over the other male and move on with his life no matter how many times he'd tried to focus on himself and his son maybe ? even put all of his remaining energies into running his cafe leaving him in the past finally nothing would work almost as if they were destined to be each other even if when they were still together in the past all they pretty much did was yell at each other at the top of their lungs after one if not both of them triggered an argument between them over the smallest of things and after they'd get tired of that they'd only end up having the angriest hate sex afterwards in order to make up for having their little fight earlier and then they'd just as easily repeat the same VICIOUS cycle over & over day in and day out though they did have their good days together yes ! which for obvious reasons was something that mingyu had missed very dearly showing each other maybe even themselves just why they ended up with each other in the first place even if it was still quite hazy in his mind probably due in part to the alcohol he'd already consumed at the party they were both currently attending he could still remember how they both first meet each other and how they both slowly but surely fell in love with each other , how they gotten to know each other through late night talks while out late at night when their kids had gotten to bed of course walking by han river or even the fact that both of their kids had become so very close with each other through the years they've gotten to know each other and eventually dated one another which was obviously something he really appreciated about ian that despite all of their bad times together they both at the end of the day truly loved each other no doubt about that the only question is that does that fact still hold up even today ? with how palpable their reactions to seeing each other for the first time again after many years apart from one other it was almost as if they had finally found their missing half their missing piece and even if there were still very evident warning signs for them not to get back together there was still no denying that deep down within his heart that he still want ian back in his life again and to pretty much pick up from where they had left off from one another in the past the question is though is that would the other still reciprocate his feelings like this and be willing to continue along with their relationship just like it was in the past or would they reject their advances outright for whatever other reason they may have as no matter how much he loved the other male there was still no inkling on if they still felt the same way as he did with them.
though the very though still linger at the back of his mind though was if they did for whatever miracle he could pray for would they end up the same way they were in the past. as from looking at them during the present day they hadn't really changed that much maybe ? this was probably the alcohol talking here but in his eyes he did get more handsome as time passed but as if snapping back into reality shaking his head he responded “ oh ! i'm sorry but i'm doing good as well i've just been busy with my cafe and haven't really gotten time to go out like this unlike today of course. ” he said let out a soft chuckle in response as he leaned in for their kiss onto his cheek wishing that it wasn't so bittersweet as he'd already longed for their arms to be wrapped around him like it had been in the past though he was just as happy to be around them again like this he just wished that they were to meet again not under such awkward circumstances though he can only dream of that at this point really. “ well i'm really glad to see you again ian. ” he added words lingering as he tried to mask behind them what his heart really wanted to say to the other male how he truly felt about them , how he'd longed to be with them again and be in their embrace like they had in the past he just hoped though there was something between them before it was too late of course.
𖹭 𝅄 . ׁ ˳ he would be a hypocrite if he claimed ignorance about the reasons behind the inevitable end of their relationship . he couldn't escape the awareness that everything had grown suffocating and overwhelming between them . the constant bickering and heated arguments had painted their love in shades of conflict . yet , as much as it no longer felt right , he found it excruciatingly challenging to walk away . everything connected to mingyu held an addictive allure that defied reason . breaking up had become a difficult task because he had grown accustomed to mingyu's presence . despite the fights , mingyu had always been his refuge , until that one fateful day when everything changed , and as if by some mystical force , they became strangers , fading from each other's lives . he had tried to move on , but mia made it nearly impossible with her persistent inquiries about mingyu . the little girl seemed oblivious to the complexity of their split . deep down , he recognized that he could never truly erase mingyu from his heart , and seeing him at the party only confirmed this painful truth . ian , although slightly taken aback by the unexpected reunion , finds himself drawn to his ex lover and steps closer . perhaps it was the effect of the alcohol coursing through his veins that emboldened him , or maybe it was a surge of long buried emotions . he couldn't say for sure , but there he was , making his way toward mingyu , the echo of his heartbeat filling his ears . “ hey , ” he utters , his hand landing on mingyu's shoulder as he leans in to plant an almost involuntary kiss on his cheek . ian doesn’t care if he’s being imprudent , he’s never done . the scent of mingyu's perfume lingers in the air as he pulls back , finally meeting mingyu's gaze . he hasn’t changed much , or at least not significantly , he thinks . perhaps his hair is a bit longer ? ian isn’t sure , but mingyu still possesses that timeless beauty that captivated him . “ i'm good . ” he replies , his eyes never leaving mingyu's face . there’s a subtle clenching of his jaw , a sign that beneath the veneer of civility , emotions still simmer . “ i never thought i'd see you again either . i haven't seen you at any of the other parties so . . . i thought you'd moved to another city or something . ” he admits . “ how about you ? ” he asks , his head tilted slightly to the side . “ how . . . how have you been ? ”

peony grasped at her heart, over the dark maroon sweater that kept her cozy and warm. there was something wrong, in the sense of the unknown. she placed the cups on a nearby place, and ran the tissues along the areas that got splashed, thanking him again in the process.
makade nenookaasi shared the wealth with nature, all things born with the air, the wind, the fire and the water. all of the elements were known as home to the spirits who had guided and allowed peace to the journey forward. once she realized that the love between the two slowly started cracking, the heart of hers had tried to stay strong and calm the emotions that had fallen. her heart, her soul wanted to bind the broken connection, though this different kind of wealth was so unknown to anything she believed in … though, to survive, she had to make the abrupt decision to leave. to run in hopes that reincarnation could bring them together, that spiritual love can last longer than humans know. she didn’t want this to become a mere dream, in which she would wake up crying, and craving the warmth that she knew with him. the birch bark canoe no longer brought a piece of adventure, as the tears in the water below stained her eyes. the cries had gone on, a part of her heart had been missing, the second they lost physical contact. her form had died, the emotions went to the water, the flame, the gusts of wind that travel with the leaves. in order to keep her mind at bay, she made sure to give life meaning, to appreciate each and every single day… and now that she had her last breath… all she wondered was when they would meet again and how powerful it would be to look at him, knowing the love she had didn’t shatter. she kept it growing instead.
“i am a party goer. and don’t apologize. i do happen to be lost in the train of thought too. you aren’t alone is what i mean to say. i got invited out too. three month anniversary of friendship.” she had hoped to remain in a steady headspace, but being beside this stranger… drumming. she could hear a hummingbird, along with a woman singing. “you… “ peony wanted to apologize as she went to wipe a tear off her cheek. more and more tears simultaneously fell. “i don’t… trust me. i don’t want to cry in front of you. i don’t know what’s gotten into me.” she turned her face away. “honestly, i was going to offer you a drink for helping out… but now i feel pathetic asking you while i am a mess.”
it was more and more evident that just being near each other was already starting to effect each other more than they’d hope. which from the outside looking in was rather strange was they had NEVER meet one another beforehand and there clearly was such a deep and profound connection already built up between the both of them and obviously it would be like he wanted to jump to conclusion here and just come out with it that he thinks that they are his long lost lover that had died alongside their love many many years ago how ridiculous would that sound to any other person ? he’d just as quickly laughed at mocked for the duration he would studying at the school at least that was the mere thoughts that were running through his mind at that time it was something he was telling himself moreso knowing if anyone of his brothers were here with him right now they’d just as easily tell him that there was no proven way that they were them that what he was feeling inside was nothing unless he could prove for a fact that the person standing in front of him right now was the same person that he had loved with all of his undying heart that he’d just as easily given over his kingdom and then some to her in order to make her happy and that he’d gave up all of his riches and privileges that he had at birth right he’d gladly throw all of that way like it was nothing to have her again in his loving arms. but then again he could not as easily deny what he was feeling inside of his heart that as previously stated that he just felt in his gut feeling that despite never seeing this person ever in his newly reincarnated life was the one his only true love but how exactly was he going to prove them to anyone let alone to the people that he grown to care for over the centuries as them just randomly out of nowhere crying was just a mere coincidence maybe it was because of something unrelated in their life maybe it really was the universe’s way of saying that this was the sign that they had finally found one another after many centuries looking for each other through their shared lifetimes he just had to stick out with them in order to found out the truth of who exactly they were and if they really were the one he’d been looking for all of this time and plus it would have been more than rude to leave them in such distress like this without trying his best to console them as it was just in his nature that hadn’t changed since he’d died all of those years ago to help out anyone and everyone who were in trouble letting out a cheeky laugh in response to their previous words covering his mouth with his free hand “ HAHA that makes sense. ” he said before his lips began to slump downward when he’d noticed that they had began to cry out of nowhere showing how worried he’d become of her despite not really knowing that much about them at this party gently placing his arms onto her back rubbing slowly and taking her hand into his “ oh ! no what happened ? did i say something wrong ? i’m so sorry if i did. ”

this chanced encounter had clearly been a surprise to the both of them at this point as he’d obviously never expected in a million years to run into a childhood friend on the street like this. but they were again standing in front of each other after what felt like a lifetime apart only to be reunited on a random cold afternoon while he was running some errands before he had to pick up his kids from their daycare in a couple hours , from face value they hadn’t changed one bit from the very last time they’ve seen each other again in the flesh only time could tell if they had still remained the same person they were when they were playing together as kids regardless of that though he was still very much glad to run into the other male again like this and wanted more than anything to rekindle their long lost friendship again if they were comfortable doing that themselves of course he did have to confirm that fact much later into their current conversation having to first APOLOGIZE for sneaking up behind them and surprising them like this settling down the things he was currently carrying in his arms in order to bend down to pick up the various supplies they had gathered for something he’d have to figure that out a later date obviously handing everything back to them once he did letting out a soft chuckle in response feeling very apologetic for pretty much scaring them like this “ i’m so sorry for scaring you but yes it’s me dooyoung. ” he said slightly bowing before continuing on with his words “ you must be hyunho right ? unless i’m sorely mistaken instead. ” he added feeling almost for certain that the man standing in front of him right now was that childhood friend he had growing up in his pack all those years ago but he still wanted to make sure that was them before delve in deeper with them and rekindle once again their what he’d thought their long dead friendship up until now that is though.
