indie . selective. multimuse written by xixustar city children: wingless but drunk on rose gold champagne, bottles emptied into bridge-side harbors and thrown against the setting sun. We were god’s children until we were cast out of heaven, our ankles bitten by the earth’s crust, grounded. We are asphalt kissed.

Words of a random K-pop song - ASAP by STAYC - fall out of the tall males lips ( but only just below a whisper ). He’s so parched, there was another coffee shop down the street but he HAD to have a Caramel Machiatto from Starbucks. Any other shop’s equivalent simply wouldn’t do!
He’s pulled out by his trance just as his favorite part of the song hits - to hear Bin. “Huh?” Charlie’s brain takes a while to process, then he pulls away his hand and laughs nervously, “Oh um,” another laugh falls from pale pink lips, “I didn’t know! Sorry.” He bows a little and backs up, removing one headphone from his ear so he can hear clearly the next time.
bin feels BAD for ruining the stranger’s vibes. he bows back too. this guy is probably older, so he should be polite. more polite. his hands shake a little he grabs the drink from the counter--s n a t c h e s  almost. he’s taking too much space, moving too slowly through this space.    ❛      s-sorry... thank you,     ❜    he says quickly. a large, foreboding presence overcomes bin’s frame as he passes by the stranger--odd, strange, VERY SCARY. he pauses in his tracks suddenly. there’s something terrifying about him.

it all happens in sort of SLOW MOTION. he’s sure this guy doesn’t realize he’s drinking the wrong drink  ( BIN’S DRINK ),  and the baristas are too busy to correct the order. maybe he should just count this as a loss and walk away, but he’d already paid a hefty sum for his drink. he musters up the courage and takes a step forward, tugs on the man’s elbow.
   ❛      e-excuse me... y-you... that drink... it’s mine...     ❜    his voice is meek, shy. he’s sure his cheeks are bright red just from the effort of talking to a stranger, but he points to HIS NAME on the cup to clarify.
