one might easily be convinced that lightning has struck the building, as minjun's apparent fury is equivalent to that of heaven and hell's combined — like a vociferous clap of thunder ordained by a god. it is now that jace's lips press together; now that he leans far back into his flimsy chair of torture in full preparation for his inevitable fate. it is now he can begin to truly fear for his life – take this ending seriously. though afraid, he has little light left within him to shine down on the concern, choosing instead to slump over unceremoniously. he makes an altogether executive decision to submit to his demise. with eyes closed does he vaguely listen to minjun's mumblings of disappointment in his overall performance. this isn't the first time he's been referred to as a bore, though jace believes it may likely be the last, deafening curiosity guiding him to wonder how long it'll be before this building catches fire. little time passes, and jace mistakes the cacophonous noise from the door's removal to be a sign he was right : he'd soon be blown to smithereens ! the well of his wit runs dry, a tired haze replacing the little caution he had conjured from within. his ears buzz ever so loudly with panic — with tiny worker bees spinning up honey combs full of fear. but tony's touch cuts through the noise quite sharply, unexpected yet and yet unmistakable.
jeongmin reacts very little as the other comes into his view. partially, because he can hardly see at all. one eye swollen almost completely shut, the other nearly closed from exhaustion : what he sees is a shadow of the man he loves drifting above him. surely i must be imagining things, he considers, hallucinating. but the hallucination continues unraveling the rope that had run his wrists raw, and a small part of him brightens with belief that he is in fact alive — that this was real. and the shadow moves closer; it envelops him in a deeply specific wave of affection that he selfishly hopes that only he himself can recognize so intimately. it is him.
the raven's awareness borders absence. it takes a few beats for him to find the rhythm of tony's sobs, the shadow of guilt and blame clasped to his shoulders. it is an immediate response to guard the other under his wing, regardless of how clipped. still, he finds himself ever troubled — he hadn't been expecting him. ❝ you got hurt… ❞ he mumbles, as though announcing the unknown, and all together unconcerned with the other's apologies. through an insistent tremor, his hand reaches the other's countenance : it is an effortlessly painted portrait of blood and shame. both of which a tender thumb caresses away. and though iron soaked, the fingerprint of his identity subsequently finds a home nestled in the soft hair near the edge of tony's ear, a secret thing that jace learned to love from far away, but took advantage of up close these days. the pleading etches a seemingly permanent frown onto his face, averse to the apologies. ❝ stop. stop it — ❞ a searing pain near his clavicle cuts him off. injuries do hurt after all, and pain is catching up as adrenaline quickly loses the race. ❝ it isn't your fault that i didn't listen. ❞ though the statement is made through cinched teeth, discomfort surpassing his sentiment, he conveys what is necessary. you shouldn't have come : it's what he wants to say. that he was right, that finding each other meant danger — it meant disaster. jace swallows his pain for the sake of conversation. ❝ you couldn't have known. ❞ he suggests, hoping to absolve the other of responsibility for his own decision, ❝ you did protect me, you're here — ❞ here, where they are, where they certainly cannot last long. ❝ we should g-go…. ❞ jeongmin is embarrassed to tremble mid-sentence, but his wounds and his memories hardly do him many favors. the strong front he's attempted to build for the other begins to shake, its foundation hardly sturdy enough for survival. ❝ please, i want to go. ❞
the earth beneath their feet shakes --- in tremors of an enraged , scorching --- a grotesque , shocking display of wrath --- that cracks open like porcelain . ugly , macabre --- crimson dotted , drowned silk glistening in the dim , harsh light above the devil's crown . it is a blazing storm of a planet's collapse --- violent , trembling in his own terror !
it freezes his system , captures an astonished countenance before erupting --- with twitching features , hues alike scorching solar flares to wipe out any proof of existence . it slips from its cocoon , gradually --- edges the confinement he himself cannot escape --- bound is his entity to suffer from such humiliating curse ! " insolent little --- " , an interruption snaps his head back and the male raises up to his full height , turning his attention to one of his men . whispers of urgency leave him to flip his tone into the realms of decency anew --- " your pathetic self can count itself lucky today , jace . i will leave you to succumb to your fate --- it has been rather a bore with you , i must admit . . . " , annoyance leaves shoulders to sink , back turned to jace , as the elder rubs a silken hankerchief over his stained face , --- departing in hurried , long strides alike the rest of his men --- within seconds , roaring engines in the distance are the sole farewell --- until a disturbed quietude echoes in these halls . it takes less than five minutes --- less than an étude to conclude --- before one of many steel doors is violently shaken out of its hinges , explosively launched into the vast emptiness of the hall .
heavy footsteps , fuelled by an adrenalized urgency --- a silhouette inking its contours sharply against the contrast of the decaying concrete --- midnight's deepest zenith , widened umber , bursting alike split wood --- consumed by the destruction of a wildfire's storm . a dishelved countenance , a bleeding cut aligning itself with his cheek --- merging into tissues of an old injury --- hues of purple blooming on the side of a face , drowning in the shock of what it laid its eyes on . the weight pulls him , tearing to beckon him --- sink him into the bottom of the sea , bury him once and for all --- and it takes all his fading strength in its final approaching wave to run to jace . shame , guilt alike latch onto him as trembling , wounded hands dig themselves into the tied knots , ripping them into nothing but threads as they pool on the ground . it punches the air out of his lungs --- shakes his breathing .
delayed , blurred vision --- as tony faces jace . bathed , in blood , sweat --- tears . low lidded , strands hanging over his eyes . the silence is unforgiving . an ache , that stretches into eternity , with neither beginning nor end . it's his heavy breaths that fill the gaps gradually until the elder collapses like a star in itself --- like a summer's monsoon --- it spills out of him in such tragic grandiosity ; his curtain call . in violent shakes , in quiet gasps --- the muted bounce of shattering porcelain .
his calloused palms , bloodied and ruined by the season's of his life . . . what gives him the right ? he inhales , loudly --- unsteady , trying to scramble his words with a desperation rarely to be perceived . " jeong - jeongmin -- " , his fingers dig into the flesh , through the fabric --- neither greedy nor forceful --- no , his soul is swaying against the tides --- his only hope remains in front of him --- the rock , he is holding on for dear life .
on his knees . . he holds his arms wrapped loosely around jace's waist , his head buried against their lap . " i am sorry - i am so - " , head raises , glancing up at their bruised state --- and tony winces at the sight , " i am sorry , i am so sorry jeongmin -- " , a strong frown locks his countenance as his gaze scans their face for any sight , any trace of a reaction . his tears have glazed their own way across his face , his scar wet from the trail left --- eyes stained by soft crimson . tony captures jace , holds onto him --- as if his life depended on it , as if he is begging forgiveness for not this mere singular mishap , but his entire life --- his existence . at the feet of all that he could never have been . " i did not want to drag you in . didn't wanted to force my own decision on you --- " , gaze lowers itself , jumps around with no fixed destination , as if chased , " i should have known . that i cannot escape . cannot fight this fate of mine . no matter what i do --- i cannot erase what i am . " , defeated --- he sinks on his heels . " should have protected you --- should have known better --- " , this man's voice grows quiet , thrums in a sphere of pain resembling the flutter of a butterfly's wing --- now , that he is re - united with the accumulation of all destruction caused by his hands . in the form of the most cruel punishment --- the worst sin . he couldn't turn a blind eye --- even if he had wanted to . in his shame , he declares his defeat . accepts it .

juxtaposed too near are the velvet red and the harsh scarlet of both hair and blood; jace's breath catches high in his throat as the other crawls eerily nigh. the muscles of his shoulders are tense – straight with sharpness – yet his eyes remain trained on his captor's. although dead behind the gaze of his tears, jeongmin remains ever observant, examining the way the other's dramatized expressions of concern and dismay take up life, fill up the room. he wonders briefly how uncommon it must be, for the man ever to be declined : to be simply told no. most certainly, it could not be often. although not all together lost on the other's charisma does he remain utterly unimpressed, for what good does it do the scion of a snake to be charmed ? saros may be long gone as jace's preceptor, but the other's voice remains — his mind's personal pundit on the underbelly of their world. and as he was the charmer back then, it maintained the utmost important that he endure the feeling of indifference. how horribly he has done at that recently. a taut string pulls at the very pit of his gut. minjun's bold taste of tears catches him entirely off guard, nose scrunching, head turning. somehow, the two end up nose to nose again. brutalized, jace's tired mind can only dance with all of the other's impressions, deeming them untrue, almost desperately assured. hatred that his body is too weak to show burns inside at the implications : that he isn't loved, at least not enough. tony loves me, he wants to argue, but in his feeble silence meets the realization that these were words he's assigned himself, not words that have ever met his ears. the mere thought fans the flames. what if he doesn't ? perhaps, he doesn't care at all. by chance, jace is just a play thing. or worse — a nuisance. turned into a tool, how he remembers the story. the speculation makes him swallow dryly, a sharp lump of anger swallowed despite his cold and departed stare.
jeongmin hates minjun. he hates him for acknowledging silent truths aloud. he hates the way that he sells his words. hates the way the elder's gaze twinkles at his pain as though observing the finest of art. the way his reverent and desperate admiration clung to his bruised and bloodied skin. its also the other's eagerness, his absolute insistence upon his worth, his appeal. if tony's mind supposedly proves fickle, then minjun's must be unmistakably and palpably made up. jace's sorest heart spot, cajoled just right by the situation. his stomach churns with the tides of hatred and frustration : but his lips poorly claim ownership of soft skin just as he turns his head. their noses brush, a bit of jace's blood smearing on the other's cheek. unbeknownst to by chance the both of them, the synchronized breaths did no service in preventing the kiss that is to follow. jeongmin's mouth is just slightly ajar despite himself, which he corrects quickly, drowning somewhere between an eagerness to be liked and to be rescued. the immediate result is a crimson smear, a desperate painting of their bloody aftermath. and yet as it ends does the younger find : it doesn't compare. for all its seemingly effortless intensity, this is a fact that angers jeongmin even further. nose to nose, eye to eye, at last he manages a huff of words between bated breaths : the ghost of a whisper against parted lips. ❝ i've never seen him run from a fight. ❞
carven grin stretches --- flashing ivory , widened eyes --- in their unholy quietude , do merely pants and sobs bounce off the stained , chipped walls . the elder drinks it in , savours each drop --- before he invites himself closer , bending his lower body . distorted countenance , a bruised , dried ruined painting --- a brush coated in the depths of vermillion , rusted . in their final desperation , eye to eye with a doomed fate , their demise --- a dying star's final rays pulsating in these veins --- oh , it elevates his pulse --- sharpens the glimmer , crystalline alike an emerging diamond . hand captures their chin --- examining their pained expression before lowering , tilting their red mane , to stretch their own tongue across their face from the bottom to the top of a wet streak of tears left . jace's trembling voice leaves the elder to hum , alike strings to vibrate against own bones . " what i want ? oh how generous of you to ask ! jacey ! darling ! " , he sings after pulling his head away . the devil digs the tip of his dagger into the pads of his digits , spins it lightly without puncturing his skin , " what i want --- is what you want . " , he snaps the knife against his open palm , stretching his gaze across their frame with a delicate pace .
crouching , body brushing against their knees , concern echoes on features . " tony will drop you . like he always has . the one thing that man is scandalously marvelous at -- is dropping it all and running the opposite direction . " , the elder shakes his head in an act of convincing disapproval , " what makes you think you will be treated different ? jace , you will break my heart ! look at you . . . " , a sigh , a huff --- an empathetic exhale --- a frown carving itself into his forehead . minjun straightens his back , clasps his hand between own dagger as if in prayer --- " don't you think you are deserving of proper appreciation ? " , he'd slaughter heaven --- butcher it down to the last creature --- craft a testament of his most sincere apologies while crowning himself . flat palm settles itself snugly on jace's thigh --- own body almost closing the disregarded void of personal space , arching to align himself on eye level . " depraving yourself of all you could have . for a man who can't make up his mind about you . " , voice has quieted itself down , lowered its register into the abyss --- own lips brushing against the younger's , glance darting over their eyes , " wanna taste something sweet for once ? " , brows raise , own chin lightly tilting up . enough with all this nonsense ! empty words , all loyalty in vain --- unrequited , doomed and cursed twice - three times over ! it borders disturbance in a system possessed by hedonism's spirit , ruled by it . " all this misery is gonn' ruin my appetite . can't stand it . " , he purrs -- merely mutters his outspoken thoughts , buzzing with uncertainty , an answer yet to be bestowed upon him !

jace's shoulders jump — his reaction most evident of the startle of a fright, though he plays this off smoothly as the girl's voice settles into recognition. wednesday. although opposite to each other in many ways, jace does hold the deluded belief that they could make an excellent team in solving the mystery. and excellent friends. it is in his nature to force his presence upon others ( see : his attendance to never more in the first place ) but at least a common goal might make sense of the crossing of their paths. curious eyes can not help but flit towards the folder momentarily before finding contact with the other once more. he subsequently nods affirmingly, determined to engage. a finger presses his reading glasses up the bridge of his nose before he conjures his response. ❝ deal. ❞ the hesitance is warranted. ❝ i just want to say, i want to find the culprit just as bad as you do. ❞ although apprehensively, he pushes a file of his own on the table in immediate direction of wednesday. sure, jace was lucky enough to call himself a nightshade now, but the circumstances of the society weren't lost on him. he was a normie. his membership and relationship to this world is antithetical. but outcasts are his friends. and those that he cared for were dropping like flies. ❝ it's not much, but it's everything i've found since… ❞ since the last death…
✧ 𓂅 closed for @bluestboy .
as wednesday stood in the door of the nightshade library , she thought of one simple common phrase : beggars can't be choosers . “ i have a lead . ” she offered as a greeting . her dark boots clomped on the cracked marble as she approached the table he sat in ; the manilla folder she entered with held tightly against her chest as she took her seat beside him . as much as wednesday preferred to work alone , this wasn't a foreign mystery . nightshade members were being killed one by one , and whether or not she was confused on the how , jace was a nightshade . “ before i share this with you you have to promise it doesn't leave this room . you only share it with other nightshades and only if you have your facts together . deal ? ”

manners ? oh, how his eyes would like to roll. what of politeness when under attack, taken against one's will — abused ? despite his most prominent affinity for tact, for respect, does jeongmin's expression twist into one of incredulousness at the suggestion. the depth of his frown is hidden well within his visage's bloody destruction. his jaw twitches, yet does his chin lift at the sound of the sharpened clash; the looming and cautionary composition of the other's fine blade. jace isn't surprised to find that its detail is grandiose. how befitting of her owner. despite his burning discomfort is he placated by the wafting scent of cigarette smoke, eyes fluttering shut in attempt to detach. he's in search of it, an escape to somewhere far and deep, away from the impending pain that one simply cannot prepare themselves for. for there must be somewhere, somewhere in the dark for the light to visit; to stay in preservation and rescue — a source of withdrawal from his unwarranted crucifixion.
they open only at the sound of his name in full. jeongmin… cloying and insipid. his irises awaken without amber : they open with a sunless onyx as deep and as raven as his hair. his mouth is to twitch with disgust, a loathing that he may typically reserve internally. yet a lack of energy allows said disgust to spill on the floor alongside his blood, his sweat, and now most effortlessly his tears — rolling swift as the sea tides as the point of the dagger toys with the skin of his neck. what could he do ? he was a fool; and now he sits tied up in the center of the wrong man's attention. go figure. there's little room left for thought as the blade at last meets flesh : piercing and ripping, leaving a blood trail as red as the apple of eve. jace cries — whimpers, really — and the thick liquid drips a slow and satisfying leak down purely un-punctured skin. there's nowhere to go. there's nothing to think. there's nowhere to run. there's nothing to do. the thoughts echo in his mind as the pain sears. it stops — just to start again on the other side with a greater depth. the soles of his dress shoes press harshly into the concrete floor. stupid fucking shoes. stupid fucking decisions. ❝ fuck ! ❞ at last a response other than a sound. its guttural, louder than one might have expected he could get, and the harsh rip of the ropes around his wrists dig as his hands pull with equal strength, though the exploitative is merely followed by a wail. it is a wail so hollow, one that doesn't stop until the ripping does, his breath catching up to his circumstance as he sobs with a sudden incoherence.
perhaps its a punishment well deserved. its the only mental escape jeongmin can assign himself, rapid breathing replacing his cries, though the sniffles remain. although still alight does his will begin to die, the sight of his own injuries hardly capable due to the angle but enough to drain him as the searing pain overtakes. in a haze he can hear the conversational prompts, though he remains perplexed by the ordeal, by his captor's pleasure. it sparks a thought, that perhaps tony's abdication cannot feasibly be the only reason for this game. and perhaps it was, that he should play. ❝ i can see… ❞ albeit barely beyond his tears, his voice nearly incomprehensible, ❝ your eyes… ❞ like mirrors. ❝ i see. ❞ jeongmin's voice trembles, fearful as its timbre betrays despite his search for a direction to bend in, a shape to mold himself into — to please. the other's gaze gives away nothing, only a distinct and dark gratification. and yet, ❝ what is it ? what do you want ? ❞ besides the one thing, the one person that he isn't willing to give away, he hasn't the slightest of clues.
lips curl , tugging the seam of the corner of his lips upward , carve deep amusement into the adorning features of a devil , disguised , clad in the most heavenly of appearances --- and yet . . . entirely void of such appreciation , it leaves the tall male to tsk , smack his lips and tilt his crown . " what blasphemy ! lacking manners ! " , propped cigarette is captured in between his lips --- yet to reveal their distaste of the poorly chosen words --- in the eye of such nefarious , peril --- indeed , is the elder astonished about the vigor , the dying light of vigor . . . burning itself out . . alas , not yet , not yet ! minjun's free hand unsheathes with a gentleness , as if reunited with a lost lover --- grinding , sharpened metal echoing , bouncing of the high walls . the reflection is blinding , long and flat does the surface of the weapon show itself --- its grip adorned by intricate , delicate artwork , clearly not belonging into their age and century .
truly , hardly does he contain the disappointed exhale escaping agape lips . . . on his torn countenance , do his features twist and yet --- do they paint their own tragedy much too close to victory , glide gracefully , snake their way --- flicker and disappear . he offers the flat side of his dagger , taps gently against the bloody chin of the younger . " jeongmin . . . " , a lowly thrumming scold , " such bravery ! i am stunned ! bewildered ! " , tone flips anew --- euphoric , warm --- much too saccharine , does his praise slicker into the forming cracks --- watching them reveal , form , split one by one , do the male's eyes mimic adoration . slowly , a pace and movement that required naught such care to be executed --- does the edge of the blade turn . pointed , curved --- hovered exactly underneath jace's burning skin . the devil tilts his crown upwards , silken strands falling into place --- high enough to meet his damned creator , or so he prays ! " i must remind you . . my sweet , sweet diamond --- the price , the only price -- " , the tip of the dagger travels downwards , passes his neck until it halts anew , in midst of his collarbones . " that should matter to you , right now , is the one those lovely words will cost you . don't you think ? " , heart - shaped lips stretch until they bare ivory , blindingly pristine --- eyes widening in his own excitement ! had he not come to slaughter heaven anew ? to finally taste , truly taste the reunion of a sweetest sensation ? the lack of effort is mere disappointing , as the blade begins to work itself into the flesh of the male's collarbones --- gliding across the thin skin , thin ropes he counts in his head --- hazy , gaze narrowing , kept on the younger seated in front of him . it is satisfactory , chin lightly to tilt lower to eye the other --- and yet . . not nearly enough , no , no !
the elder's lips forming a thin line , a louder sigh escaping before , the blade -- glistening in its new colour of crimson moves to the other collarbone , working itself in , deeper --- again and again , " i truly believed you to be well - behaved . . fooled me ! " , head tilts --- a snicker echoes , sinks into the mere sound of scratching , splitting open flesh to reveal its inner colour , slowly but surely under a precision , clearly holding itself back from unleashing devastation too soon ! grip is about to loosen --- remove the edge of the tilted dagger before the elder's eyes light themselves up , burning ablaze --- in deepest bordeaux ; " don't you lose that little glimmer i see ! right there ! " , euphoric at having spotted such , does body crouch lower , indeed removing the blade . seconds stretch into an agonizing silence --- an adoration of what is before him , do own glances waltz up- and downwards again and again . it sticks like tar , like a curse much too divine , too blissful to shake it off , " you should see yourself . . " , pride is worn with reason --- the brightest of suns , indeed ! a halo , blindingly , sinfully magnificent ! " now ! on to the second round ? or , perhaps , you have something to whisper into my ear ? are you going to leave us hanging ? me and your pretty boyfriend ? all disappointed in you ? " , the genuine concern mirrored on sharp features is a mirage , falsified , faux and despite such --- carefully veiled and projected .

intrusively wandering eyes, stupidly senseless tongues, jace has long since become accustomed to the waggish ways of his classmates here at nevermore. yes, his peers manage to make the astute observation that he is the sole human at this university. while he has been particularly outcast since his arrival, he isn't one for solitude — and his most optimistic perspective now lends him the energy to finally approach vivian. still, he has sensibility about him, an awareness of his own personality's buoyancy. many take to him easily, others with much resistance. most of the nevermore population identified within the latter category. such fun. vivian's stinging sarcasm is biting and blatant, but jeongmin would not have taken up the task of attending this institution if he had a preference for tale above truth. the suggestion is valid. admirable. ❝ yeah, ❞ he replies, quieter this time, although his newfound volume is subsequently sabotaged by the immediately following series of pops from his gum again. ❝ i lied. i've actually been coming here all semester and i always see you here. but wouldn't it be even more awkward if i was all like 'what's up vivian, i've been watching you at the library waiting for a chance to say hi until now' ? i had to come up with something. ❞ a response befitting of the other's honesty. ❝ i think we should study together. ❞ cue the imaginary and unceremonious sound of a sorrowful trombone.
the pain rears its head near at once, the sunny tone and piercing voice worming into her ear. who-? oh. the question dies before it fully forms. she knew this person, knew of at the least; it wasn’t every day a normie joined the ranks of a nevermore student. besides, she’d heard him in a number of her courses, volume control clearly was not his forte. as her luck would have it neither were boundaries—mouth just barely ajar, an eyebrow pulled up in a silent question. she feels the glances raking over them, she had no social capital to begin with, but this? she would never recover; mind now preoccupied with studies, murders, a normie, and her reputation. action had to be taken. she turns to him voice low, ❝ jace, is it? yeah, really funny meeting you here. in the school library. during testing season. i digress, is there… something i can help you with? ❞ her bag in hand, notebook shutting. his disposition unsettled her, he was too sweet too bright. ‘god, i sound like wednesday.’ there was little need to be so forthcoming with strangers without ulterior motives, it was only smart to minimize interactions with him. lest she find herself marked next.

the acrid and metallic taste of blood pools heavily atop the taste buds of jace's tongue. it weighs and leaks behind the firm press of stiff and sticky duct tape, covering the full length of his mouth. it is for this reason only, that the long ride to the unknown location remains almost entirely silent. despite the laborious fight he had already put up outside of his home, an insolent spark of defiance remains. thus, the way that his nostrils flare as he ever so secretively attempts to catch the hatch of the harsh metal cuffs in a stray pointed piece of the van's seat release tab from the trunk. the endeavor doesn't last long; he's soon caught by one of his initial captors — it results in the taut grip of his hair — the repeated force of his head against the cheap material that constructs the hollow back of the vehicle. ouch. the hint of a remaining spark fizzles out slowly. it is dampened quickly by the slow drip of his first few tears, which roll thickly over the silver slab of tape sealed to his lips. perhaps, too tired to keep up, he fades into a deep haze of disassociation, eyes glazing over with tears over mumblings of keeping him alive and being careful. it should be none of his concern, but it proves itself a poor sign. it means only one thing. it paints his worst nightmare true. he is the bait. so his love must be the ransom. god fucking damn it, he thinks. don't. don't come for me. be angry with me. a different wish from that of the one he held before, just before the other's departure. the hour that stretches on does not pay his mind any further answers.
instead it opens the door to more darkness. all strength having been soaked up by his previous fight, he is ashamed by his own subservience; his tail is between his legs as he follows, silently blind folded, down what feels like a never ending path. the chair is cold, the ropes rough, and the handcuffs sting, each device a thorn of its own to his already bleeding body. enter : light. while relieved to see, to breathe, to speak, the groan that escapes him is not merely one of relief, but simultaneous discomfort, the blood from his brutalization leaking from his nostrils – and at last his open mouth. the bout of relief is of course short lived, interrupted by a presence that is both shocking and absurd. jeongmin squints, pained by the harsh light emitted by the bulb, too hot and close to his face. but just past the glare does he make out the entirely pristine attire, down to the very detail of the jewels. until at last, does he meet a gaze that most certainly should read kind, unfortunately translates amusement, and much to jace's dismay feels recognizable. and handsome. his own dark eyes narrow further, flitting to and fro at first to register the stranger's expression, and immediately after his surroundings. though he is immediately met with the environment covered in nothing but dark shadows and a large door that did not spell out an easy escape. well, shit. he's in it for good, tears continuously streaming despite the flare of resentment which boils beneath his prickling skin as the other speaks — questions him and what feels like his intelligence.
as the shine of the light wears away, it is that velvety red that he recognizes most. paired with an intonation that is all too gleeful for the predicament, it finally strikes him. the art show that he had done long ago. well, well, well…are there not fallen angels with feathers on every hidden path which leads to seoul ? it was a face he had once seen before, though muddled in his sloppy memory. it proves enough. jeongmin wishes that he could react. but with one eye swollen nearly shut, and the energy siphoned by his injuries, there is little left remaining on his expression besides apathy. by chance, there is a glimmer of what seems to be resounding agitation — disgust — resentment. of course he knows why he is here. but why ever, would he acknowledge that ? to even speak, requires a deep heave. ❝ you're either really into obscene art, ❞ jace's voice is not his own, sounding out deep yet shattered, the notion a callback to the fact that he remembers minjun's face in the very least, ❝ or you're way too invested in the idea of selling six billion won worth of coke. ❞ sarcasm seeps into the concrete beneath the soles of their feet, spewed straight from the tone of his words. while he is aware that it is no small feat, both experience and the discerning rake of his eyes down the other's opulent extravagance allow him to enforce his insight that six billion won, to his captor, must be mere chump change. annoyed even by the other's grandiosity, the raven cannot help but destroy the display of his own intellect. ❝ which is fucking dumb. ❞ the other's hungry gaze, his games are not lost on jace. long ago he became perhaps too well equipped on dealing with those who hold the appetite of this sort. how he should accordingly proceed, is yet to be revealed.
⸺ ∿ ✺﹒ @bluestboy . &&. . . . jeongmin chai .
here is how these things go. with precision , command . in the clutch of blood - stained palms . in the echo of a prior atonement , yet to be reached , yet to be granted . jace's words almost cut him lovingly . they almost caress him . bitter confessions . the elder almost wants to speak --- but lips stay sealed . his protests , considered unworthy --- it's taste too close to the plea , he colors his prayer with . the younger doesn't understand , doesn't see . but tony neither claims the right of setting him straight --- what had it all been worth , truly ? if all his presence evolved into , remained woven into the world , that tried to bury its claws into his legs anew ? his mind , littered with unknown , faceless , nameless threats --- he knows far too well , in this war --- it came in waves . knocking one down , drowning them again and again . he dares not to raise his gaze . wants to hide that starless sky , born into his eyes . dull --- dripping in thick ink , a soft frown weaving itself across the elder's features . he shakes his head , barely --- trying to swallow his concern . oblivious , as jace was --- it could cost them much more than merely a shared dinner meal . more than the mutual shove of separating their burdens so intricately --- the phantom echo of guilt yet to be lived . for once , jeongmin rejected , to be thrown back into havoc and war , to be pushed and torn by the current . who was tony to deny him such ? he turns on his heel , wordlessly leaves without glancing at the other's face --- firm , determined to leave the younger his peace . inside --- brooding . his mind shifting itself , to forget , to erase --- deviate his focus onto catching whoever hid themselves behind the witnessed assault . to step back into the beast's den , revive a demon he wished to eternally have sealed away -- how naive , he thinks . to be convinced , to truly believe . . . controlling a man's fate lied in his power . he disappears into this maze of an underworld — . . .
merely a handful of days pass --- sleepless nights for the elder . time , a thick molasse with no beginning nor an ending . full ashtrays , heavy exhales . another set of concerns , pressing and urging him to return to jace and scoop him up on the spot . but the male simply cannot bring himself to go back , let alone face the other after such a short timeframe anew . empty handed , with promises and words that were hard to believe , leaving his lips --- even for tony himself . his reflection , reminds him --- each time he believes to have forgotten .
jace's reflection however --- on the screen of his phone , black -- merely illuminated by the stark light of the hallway , outside of his apartment . bouncing off --- blurry lines , no beginning , no end . if only he had tilted his phone slightly lower , if only he had thrown a glance over his weary shoulder --- " errand boy . we need you to be good and come with us . " , the small group of men cast a shadow , stretching into a mountain range . drown jace entirely , trap him between his locked door and their bodies . a determined shake of his head , declining any invitation almost too eagerly --- as the thread snaps in the fragment of half a second . bare fists , brute force --- until the younger's protests and efforts to escape turn into pants , coughs -- with a ringing in his ears , from the repeated collision with the door frame of his very own apartment . it is too precise , the timing too convenient to be anything but a revisit from the same group , having come for tony . jace is handled like a sack of potatoes , thrown and handled with little care , blindfolded , cuffed --- kept silent , in what feels like an endlessly stretching drive in the back of a van . by the time , he is hauled into a chair --- dusk breaks . footsteps echo , in this large hall . occasional mutters , the click of something mechanic . until the estimated group of people quicken their pace of walking --- closer to the corner in which jace remains planted .
the blindfold is torn off with no prior warning , painfully pulling at the strands of his disheveled hair . a naked lightbulb tears at his vision . bruised lips , dried blood around his nose , the side of his head --- sticky and cold . the first thing , his strained eyes must lay themselves on --- is the towering presence of a tall stature , clad in velvet --- jeweled gold , catching in the cold illumination . red - maned , widened hues --- a warm smile , as if offering a welcome . " little sapphire ! still with us ! you look awful . . ah , just awful . " , a shake of his well kept hair . the male's tone resembles a song , a melody bouncing between the beat , following the rhythm of complete silence , than any usual tact . the male figure remains standing , so close that his legs almost brush the younger's --- the straight posture of an arrow , a flickering glimmer unburying itself within hues , as they drink the tied up figure --- with an infernally starved curiosity , a hunger poorly satisfied . amusement drips from a countenance , inhabited by sharp features , a long shape to frame it --- slender fingers holding onto his burning cigarette . " any idea , why you have ended up here ? " , heart - shaped lips pout with an accompanied frown , theatrically absurd , " you are in college , are you not you ? " , the male slightly bends , legs kept straight --- leaning closer into the other's personal space with no regard for its concept at all , " do you think you are smart enough , to figure this one out ? " , eyebrows raise --- in an excitement , solidifying itself in his intense gaze . rotten , widened eyes --- his quieter , intimate tone dripping with a temptation , a lust utterly unholy --- and absolutely shameless .

the sun's affinity for darkness needs to be studied. to jace, vivian proves an elusive figure; a code difficult to crack. there is a distinguishable difference between the two, the girl's reservations claiming a place of intrigue in his mind. they had taken only a class or two together, yet her quietude rendered him curious. place the blame upon his meddlesome temperament, it is entirely inevitable that he should be drawn to to her. there is an initial hesitance to his approach : perhaps, she would prefer not to be bothered. but taking the recent series of events on campus into consideration, it is decidedly jace's opinion that everyone could use someone to talk to right now. and with said decision we find the feather light lift of his feet, guiding him to a soft landing just before her in the library; black leather bag slung too heavily over his shoulder as he pops a bubble of bubble-gum. he isn't quite sure who she was talking to, but he personally speaks to himself all of the time. what judgement was there to pass ? ❝ hi, vivian ! ❞ blurted despite himself, and though he's oblivious in many ways he realizes his volume is obnoxious --- catching a few stray scowls from across the room. ❝ uh, hello vivian. ❞ he quickly corrects his volume in accordance to the environment, taking the seat beside her without permission. ❝ funny meeting you here. ❞ in the library ?
𓂃 ࣪˖ open to all muse vivian lin setting library dynamic(s) any
searing hot pain flares behind vivian’s eyes, hand buried in her hair tightening around the roots, tugging at her scalp. was studying meant to be a full body experience? by now she should’ve packed her textbook and given up — the material had decided not to stick; who was she to defy the fates? eyes squeeze shut, the pain dulling, turning to memory. ten more minutes. then, and only then, would she ready her belongings to depart. straight to her apartment she’d go to pack her bags and drive back home — mental preparations for the tongue lashing she’d receive take precedent over the words still swimming behind her lids. a hushed drama queen, melodrama is such a bad look on you hissed at her from the recesses of her mind quickly combatted with a whispered remark of her own. ❝shut up. being melodramatic it's the only time i have any fun.❞ finally her eyes open, lowered guard having not alerted her to the person now standing directly within her line of sight.
