there were a lot of things danbi could consider herself inept with - she had grown a little more uncoordinated than usual, having a tendency to lose her balance here and there as well as have the occasional odd twitch in her limbs, causing her sometimes to take a small spill. and then there was the fact that she had a hard denying others, no matter their odd request or the uncomfortable situation she would be put in as a result of taking on their favors. no matter what happened, the idea of turning them down always weighed heavy on her heart. and certainly, there were some other more negative traits she could elaborate on, but one thing that danbi didn't think she was prior to this afternoon was being cursed with having no sense of direction.

she lets out a small squeal as she nearly collides with the other female, having been wandering around this maze for so long she's lost track of time and become a little disoriented. coming face to face with someone else had surprised her, but she's honestly relieved that the other wants them to team up to find their way out together.

"that's right. you're . . . jinsol, right?" she says gently, knowing the other from neighboring apartment. she's happy to encounter someone she knows, but the relief lasts only for a second before a concerned frown mars her features, listening to the other female cough. danbi reaches out to touch her arm, trying to offer up some reassurance alongside a small smile. "hey, don't push yourself too hard. we'll find our way out of here. we can do it together." she squeezes her gently, turning only to look at a fork in the road before them. "okay, so . . . should we go left or right?"

👻 spooky maze shenanigans! ↪ @dvpendable

spookier than anticipated.

going into the maze, jinsol, admittedly, did not have much expectations. she'd always believed the maze to be no different from any other, with the exception of an occasional halloween decoration or standee to match the season's event. but as she'd never participated in years prior, jinsol decided that this fall carnival would be the year!

however, each corner she took proved to be scarier than the last. though she hadn't intended to, jinsol let out a piercing shriek each time she'd bumped into a familiar face by happenstance. each encounter ended with the same shameful apology. it wasn't until the tenth run in (maybe more. truthfully, she'd lost count.) that jinsol decided that her throat had had enough.

"park danbi, was it?" she'd barely managed to speak through her coughs as she attempted cleared her throat. "how do you feel about finding the exit to this thing together?"

she tried to steady her breathing, rocking back and forth as she rocked back and forth, huddled up in a tight ball. "what do i do?" the girl cried out, as if hoping that someone would come to save her. ( xhanjs )

plenty of people found fireworks to be beautiful. soonwon could admit that the views were spectacular - the experience one he had yet to find an equivalent to. but there was something about it that never felt as exciting as he supposed it meant to feel like. seeing others cheer and record the show was a stark contrast against his subtle disinterest as he lingered towards the back of the crowd that had stopped to admire the flowers in the sky.

the one thing on his mind is considering the foot traffic that will erupt once the show ends so he chooses to leave the show early, excusing himself as he weaves through the few couple of people at the back near him. between one burst and the next, soonwon almost doesn’t make out the sound - but he catches onto a whimper. stopping in his tracks, soonwon’s head turns from side to side as he questions if he’s only hearing things when he hears a cry. immediately, soonwon pinpoints the direction it came from and he hurries over, turning around the stand to find - jinsol - squeezed into the furthest part of the corner. 

something tugs at his heart (he tries to brush it off) and he takes it as adrenaline. before he realizes it, he’s already in front of jinsol hovering over her protectively as he feels the fear from her. he feels lost though, and he’s not sure why the first thing he says is,

“ jinsol ? hey , i’m here . everything’s going to be okay . ”
