candid memories

through a different lens

date posted: 2/18/2024 pairing: lee seokmin (dk) x reader word count: 3,446 why it's my favorite: i wrote this fic first for valentine's day, and then it unfurled into something bigger so it became a fic for seokmin's birthday. i feel like it's one of the best examples of what i consider my writing style. i'm just really proud of this fic and that it stands among some of my biggest fics notes wise, without having smut.

[odinsblog]

By the time Cuqui Rivera had to renew her car insurance policy in December 2019, the longtime activist had only heard about some of the reasons she — a Hispanic female with a high school diploma — may pay more than her white, college-educated neighbors.

So, Rivera decided, "Let me be your guinea pig," she said. "Let's see if this is true."

She looked on the website of Liberty Mutual, the company she had been with for at least two decades, to see if it said anything about factoring education, work history and credit score into insurance rates. She said she found nothing.

Her annual policy with Liberty Mutual cost $2,997, Rivera said. She went to CURE, the West Windsor-based insurance company, and said she found the same policy for $1,188, a 60% savings.

That's because CURE is the only insurance company that doesn't factor in education, employment and credit score when determining a driver's rate, according to the advocacy group New Jersey Citizen Action.

The result of using these "income proxies" in rate-setting is a racial and class disparity that Rivera and other advocates say amounts to widespread discrimination in New Jersey — disparities that the insurance industry does not deny but insists are incidental to societal realities beyond their control.

Advocates have pressed lawmakers, as they have for more than a decade, to change the law so companies can no longer use those factors and others, such as marital status and whether a driver owns a home, to determine insurance rates.

But their mission has been unsuccessful. A bill that would exclude those factors from insurance rate-setting narrowly cleared the Senate but was not posted in the Assembly on the last day of the legislative session last week, meaning it must start the process over again.

That means drivers in mostly Black neighborhoods in cities like Paterson, heavily Latino areas like Camden and low-income towns like Lakewood will likely continue paying higher rates for car insurance than people who live nearby in mostly white, higher-income communities such as Ridgewood, Cherry Hill and Brick.

On average statewide, drivers who live in majority Black and Latino ZIP codes pay nearly 50% higher premiums than those in majority-white ZIP codes, according to the Consumer Federation of America. Drivers in mostly low-income ZIP codes pay nearly 52% higher premiums, on average, than those in high-income areas, the federation said.

"There is a disproportionate penalty levied on African Americans and Latinos," said Douglas Heller, an insurance expert with the consumer federation.

"Every day that is delayed" passing the insurance legislation, he said, "New Jersey residents with perfectly good driving records are paying too much for insurance because policymakers are afraid to stare down insurance companies."

Representatives for insurance lobbying groups in New Jersey did not respond to interview requests, but in testimony on the bill last year they denied discrimination in rate-setting.

Rates vary by race throughout NJ

Rates can vary by hundreds of dollars within one small area. Take a 4-mile stretch of mostly white towns in the Meadowlands, for example.

According to the data, the average annual rate in Carlstadt is $1,822. It's $1,707 next door in Rutherford. And in the next town over, Lyndhurst, it's $1,688.

But racial disparities are clear through New Jersey, according to a USA TODAY Network analysis of the data, which was collected in 2020 by the insurance data company Quadrant Information Services and provided by the federation.

All but one of the top 25 ZIP codes with the lowest average annual insurance premiums — about $1,071 — were mostly white, affluent suburbs concentrated in Hunterdon, Morris and Somerset counties, according to the analysis. The one ZIP code that was majority Black represented a population of 258 people across half a square mile in Bernards Township, a Somerset County town that is 68% white, according to U.S. census data.

The 25 ZIP codes with the highest average premiums — about $2,250 — were in mostly Black, low-income cities in North Jersey, including Elizabeth, Fairview, Irvington, Newark, North Bergen, Passaic and Paterson.

Here are the 10 ZIP codes in New Jersey with the lowest average annual insurance premiums and the 10 zip codes with the highest.

the colors of spring

|| Miya Atsumu ||

Prompt: “Aren't the flowers beautiful?” “Yes, but they're not quite what I'm looking at.”

Genre: florist au; fluff; kinda angst.

Word count: 1.2k

Masterlist || Network Event

Miya Atsumu was a pretty simple person. A simple gray color among the rainbow of colors that spread throughout the world. Although they normally considered his brother that way, because of his hair more than anything, Atsumu believed that the color gray was what represented him the most.

And in spring, it was where it was most prominent.

Miya Atsumu hated spring and became a completely different person during those three months that the 'horrible' season lasted: annoying, grumpy, and with a completely red nose.

He was allergic to spring. Well, flowers really. 

Could that be the reason for his simple, dark color?

So when a new flower shop was established right next to his volleyball team's training venue, MSBY Black Jackals, he thought his allergy would get worse… But maybe that wasn't entirely true after all.

The first day of spring was sunny, the birds sang, and cherry trees swayed from side to side on the sidewalk where Atsumu walked. Next to him, the colors that surrounded him, were shining, making him even smaller in his own greyness. His steps were slow and his back was arched forward. Also now and then, the sleeve of his jacket brushed his nose.

Anyone who saw him walking like that, would think he was spending a lot of time with his former teammate, Suna Rintaro; who was distinguished by having a rather particular posture. 

A few meters before reaching the entrance of the building where he had to train, someone got in his way. And then Atsumu sneezed loudly.

“Do you want a flower?” asked the figure in front of him. “It's free, I just opened this place so new clients are welcome, but for now, it's just a taste of my great pieces of art!”

Atsumu looked up after trying to stop a second sneeze with his forearm. 

'Sakusa won't want my sets now' he thought as he examined the flower that caused his major allergy.

The vibrant pink color that could be attractive to many, and that only made Atsumu want to run away (and sneeze over and over again), sat on both hands that came closer and closer to his face. A big smile was hidden behind that present, which he did not even dare to inspect, and eyes full of hope and dreams looked at every move he made.

“Sorry, but no. Thanks though,” he replied after a few seconds and continued walking. Behind him, a discouraged sigh was heard, but Miya didn't turn around. 

He hadn't even seen the face of the person who had offered him the flower; not that he was very interested in it. The thing is, that was the first time you two met, and unlike him, you memorized his face; hoping to meet him once again. He would get one of your precious flowers, whatever it took you. 

There was something about Atsumu that caught your attention. It could be from his sneeze caused by the flower. Or also that in some way, he resembled one as well.

Finally, and just as Atsumu had predicted, his teammate, Sakusa Kiyoomi, did not approach him for the entire practice.

The next day, the colors were the same. And Atsumu, gray as always. Unexpectedly, the same situation happened: a person with a flower approached him, Atsumu sneezed, apologized, and continued his way. This time, though, he looked at their face; and to his surprise, he saw a big smile. Your smile.

Even if he had rejected one of yours 'great pieces of art’ just as he had before, you wanted to show him that even when you were repudiated, you still hoped that he would accept sometime.

Atsumu was the one who memorized your face this time. You didn't look gray like him, you were pretty as a flower. Well, how a flower was supposed to be. Not just a source of allergies and a bad mood, but something beautiful that was loved by all. 

Something full of color.

'Maybe spring isn't so bad after all' thought Atsumu before sneezing for the eighth time after his second time meeting you, regretting his thought.

The whole week was the same: a gray Atsumu, a pink flower, and a big smile from you. He denied, apologized, and walked. 

As the days progressed, a smile appeared on his face, but on yours, it disappeared. Maybe he wasn't interested in your flowers after all. What you thought was just a 'game' for you to keep insisting, it might not be one. Maybe it was time to stop; although Atsumu was already planning to ask for your name. 

So today you both had different plans. For the first time Atsumu stopped his walk solo, no one had intercepted his way. Startled, he looked at the ground, where he found a small flower, very similar to the one you had offered him the previous days. 

The flower was almost destroyed. It had been stepped on several times and some petals lay beside the stem; which still remained with some of them. Its pink color looked grayish. But still broken and discolored, her beauty still existed.

“Maybe the owner dropped it?”  he asked aloud, not waiting for an answer, of course.

Atsumu panicked. It was just a simple flower, as simple as he was, so why bother? His allergy was far more important. But on the other hand, he was just a few steps from the flower shop, just a few steps from you. 

Knowing your name was more important than his allergy, right? 

Atsumu zipped up his jacket to cover his mouth and nose and then covered his hands with the sleeves. He later bent down and took the flower. Miya tried to breathe as little as possible, but as soon as he got up, he sneezed.

Atsumu watched as the flower fell from his gray hands, only to be picked up again by someone

“Poor thing, it didn't deserve this terrible fate,” you said, looking at the flower with a melancholic smile. “Of course it's not your fault though, you tried to save her from imminent death. Tragic, but imminent. I can tell that you like flowers, even if your body tries otherwise. Thank you anyway.”

Atsumu widened his eyes. Again you had stood in his way, only this time, to save the little flower even more destroyed after his sneeze.

“You don't have to thank me, I did absolutely nothing. I couldn't even lift her off the ground! ” Atsumu said, without letting his nose be uncovered.

“Oh do not worry! Even crushed and gray it's pretty, don't you think?” you asked, and then noticed that not only he was watching the one you had in your hands but all those that were in the ornaments at the entrance of the flower shop. “Well, actually, aren't the flowers beautiful? In general, I mean.”

Atsumu returned his gaze to your bright eyes, remembering your words: 'Even crushed and gray it’s pretty…’

Gray… just like him. 

When Atsumu realized it, he felt like a fool. How could have he missed it? The flower was simple and gray, just like him! But it didn’t mean it wasn’t beautiful! 

It didn’t mean Atsumu wasn’t important or that he didn’t matter.

Maybe the color gray didn't feel so simple anymore.

And you were the one who made him realize that.

“The flowers…? Yes, but they're not quite what I'm looking at.”

The colors of spring were always part of Atsumu's life.

He just didn’t know that before.

What Is a Storm Moon?

By Patti Wigington

Updated January 12, 2019

As the saying goes, March rolls in like a lion, and if we're really lucky, it might go out like a lamb. It's the time of the Storm Moon, the month when Spring finally arrives, around the time of the Equinox, and we see new life begin to spring forth. As the Wheel of the Year turns once more, heavy rains and gray skies abound — the earth is being showered with the life-giving water it needs to have a fertile and healthy growing season. This is also a time of equal parts light and darkness, and so a time of balance.

Depending on where you live, this moon may be called the Seed Moon, Lenten Moon, or Chaste Moon. Anglo-Saxons called it Hraed-monat (rugged month), or Hlyd-monat (stormy month). A stormy March was an omen of poor crops, while a dry March indicated a rich harvest.

According to the Farmer's Almanac, this month's moon is sometimes called the Full Sap Moon and the Worm Moon — and no wonder, since after a storm, there are worms all over the place!

As the temperature begins to warm and the ground begins to thaw, earthworm casts appear, heralding the return of the robins. The more northern tribes knew this Moon as the Full Crow Moon, when the cawing of crows signaled the end of winter; or the Full Crust Moon, because the snow cover becomes crusted from thawing by day and freezing at night. The Full Sap Moon, marking the time of tapping maple trees, is another variation.

As the weather can be anything but predictable, the month of March in your area might not see the same weather as other locations, because your environment depends on a number of factors. If you need to adapt March's magical correspondences to those of a different month, then feel free to do so.

Correspondences

Colors: Use green, yellow, and light purple to represent the colors of the season. This is a great time to explore magic with pastel colors.

Gemstones: Bloodstone and aquamarine are often associated with early spring, the vernal equinox, and the month of March.

Trees: Dogwood, honeysuckle, lilacs, and cherry blossoms are just beginning to bloom this time of year in many areas, so find a way to incorporate them into your workings as needed.

Gods: Work with Isis, the Morrighan, Artemis, and Cybele, all of whom are considered powerful during this time of year.

Herbs: High John, pennyroyal, wood betony, and apple blossom can often be found during this season, depending on where you live.

Element: Water is the element most closely associated with the Storm Moon — after all, it's one of the wettest time of the year, thanks to thunderstorms rolling through.

Storm Moon Magic

Use this month for magical workings related to rebirth and regrowth. New life is blooming during this phase of the moon, as is prosperity and fertility. Here are some things you can do this month and plan accordingly.

Begin planning your magical herb garden for the year. What would you like to grow? Consider whether you want specifically medicinal and healing herbs, or if you're going for a variety of magical purposes.

Are you thinking about making a change in your career? Now is the time to tidy up that resume and get it up to date. Start researching the companies you'd really like to work for and figure out what you need to do to make it happen. Make phone calls, network, send in applications, and take control of the reinvention of your career.

Got a storm rolling in? Place a jar or bucket outside so you can gather rain water for use in ritual (bonus magical points to you if it's collected during a lightning storm!).

Spring tends to be the time of year to begin thinking about going back to school in the fall — partly because for many colleges and universities, this is the season when acceptances are finalized. If you're thinking about continuing your education, get those admissions forms completed.

If you've ever thought about changing your life (haven't we all?), especially by making big changes, now is the time to plant the seeds for those efforts.

Place your magical tools outside for cleansing during the Storm Moon.

Keeping Track of the Weather

If you don't have a copy of the Farmer's Almanac, it really is worthwhile to invest in one -- they're less than $10. You can also visit their site online and see what the weather and agricultural markers are for your zip code on any given date.

okay!!! here’s my drabble ( honestly it’s a little long ) about all three of lukes marriages. also known as luke gets divorced three times. if you read it lmk, cause honestly i had fun LFMSLKMFLKSM 

Hope Atwell -- high school sweetheart  

THE WAY THE DOOR creaked under pressure as he opened it caused his already knitted brow to tighten. fuck, that was loud. too loud for his liking, it wasn’t just the POUNDING in his head that caused him to crave silence, but also the part that should be inside. checking the watch that was flipped on his wrist for the time, he blearily noticed that it was ten AM. wherever his phone had ended up last night, the alarm must still be blaring from where he’d had it set for six. he was late, he knew that. luke had promised hope that he would be home before the sun rose, and that was only because she hadn’t wanted him to go out in the first place. the excuses that left his lips were always the same.                         it’s for networking, baby. i have to go make friends, you know? BUT IN REALITY IT had nothing to do with friends. he had plenty of those, plenty of connections. the truth was, he liked parties. he liked having fun, he always had. at first -- back in high school when hope still looked at him like he was king of the world -- the pills were just to keep him going when he felt too tired to get up in the morning. now it was a mixture of what she liked to call pills, parties and powder. he knew she had a point -- he was going a little overboard. at his rate, he’d be going down the same path as his brother. he needed to tone it down. he had to tone it down.  LISTENING TO THE SOUND his shoes made as he dropped them in the entry way, he continued his slow progression of his apartment. it was quiet, which was strange. it was welcome, but strange. typically hope was awake by this time, doing her hair or flipping on the TV to listen to while she painted. the fact that there was no sound at all, was unnerving. he wasn’t bold enough to think she was asleep, which was why when he made the corner and saw her sitting on the couch -- his heart sunk.  “hey, babe.” the rough voice called out to her, no thought in his head to simply slip past. she lifted her head to catch his eye, and he winced. she looked like she hadn’t slept. “do you know what time it is?” her gentle voice, such a contrast to him right now, called over to him. luke opened his mouth -- but the firm line of hers caused him to shut it. it wasn’t really a question.  “i’m sorry.” “you’re not.” ANOTHER WINCE LEFT LUCAS at the accusation, not because of how it made him feel but because she was right, and he hated it. he wasn’t sorry. he really wasn’t. he had fun last night. just because she didn’t know how to have fun wasn’t his problem, was it? she used to be fun, back in high school. but that also was a time before he needed a friend in the bathroom with a bag to have fun.  “can we fight about this later, hope?” he reached up and rubbed his face -- a good husband, asking to postpone the fight so he could go to sleep. “i’m tired.” THERE WAS A WHIMPER from the couch and he caught sight of the tear trickling down her cheek. his chest ached. he did care about her crying, he always had. crossing the living room quickly, he was on his knees before her -- taking her soft small hands between his and rubbing the pad of his fingers over her knuckles.  “don’t cry, don’t cry --” he whispered, feeling so much like a child at the moment. if he had been older, he might have called himself a child. he was barely twenty years old. they’d barely been married a year, and he couldn’t remember the last weekend she didn’t spend crying. “i can’t do this, lucas.” her voice cracked -- but it wasn’t just the pain in her features anymore. there was anger. she yanked her hands away from him as if he’d burned her, settling in her lap as her shoulders shook. “i won’t go out tomorrow, okay? i’ll stay home, we can watch that stup-- that movie, the one with the fish. you love that movie, right? please don’t cry, hope.” as if her words hadn’t even phased him, she said it all the time after all. that she couldn’t do this, then she’d kiss him with those soft glossy lips and he’d forget to reflect on what she said. “no!” her voice broke through the stale air, and suddenly it was heated. standing up, the hungover and partially fucked up reed before her tumbled back onto his ass out of surprise. staring up at his wife, eyes wide and still a bit blood shot -- he looked at her in all her anger.  “you always say that, it’s always that! i won’t do it this time, hope. i’ll stop, hope. i won’t take anything, hope. she’s just a friend, hope. i didn’t do anything worse this time, hope. it’s just a party hope!” her shoulders trembled as she screamed at him, and he felt so stupid staring up at her. he had no courage to speak against his small wife’s anger, and instead sat there like the lump of a husband he was.  “i can’t do this anymore!” SHE SOUNDED ALMOST hysterical as she walked away from the couch and towards the very entry way he’d just came through. part of him felt like this was going to be like every other time she stormed out. her screaming, then coming back and kissing him and telling him she was sorry. he stayed where he was, sitting on the living room floor until the sound of the door slamming and a frustrated shout from her on the outside.  HE HEARD HER CAR start and slowly laid back on the carpet. eyes falling closed, he wondered if he should have chased her. as far as he knew, there was no reason to think this fight would be different from any other -- which was why as he drifted to sleep against the floor, he thought this time in their life would be something they’d laugh about when they were thirty.  WHEN SHE CALLED HIM three days later from her parents house, after ignoring the countless times he’d tried to contact her, to tell him that she’d filed for divorce -- he looked like the biggest idiot in the world for saying he wasn’t expecting it. 

julio dean -- minivan mistake

PAUSING AS HE STARED down at the phone in his hands, he wondered exactly how he was meant to go about this. the idea of being married wasn’t something he was afraid of after hope, no if anything he wanted a NEW marriage to prove he could do it RIGHT this time. but the idea of being married to dean, that was something he . . . couldn’t wrap his head around. scrolling down through his contact list, he found the mans number and pressed call -- leaning against the side of the building. propping the phone between his shoulder and cheek, luke removed a cigarette from the pack in his back pocket and lit it up as he listened to the ring. “you’ve reached julio, how can i help you?”             for some reason, the sound of the mans voice cut into him and made him wince.  “hey, dean. it’s lucas.” “oh. hey, beautiful,” the tone of the other mans voice over the line changed to something that made luke’s voice twist into a knot. fuck, he still had NO idea how to go about this.  “yeah, so -- about that.” he decided that the best way to go about it was not to think about it. “i always knew you were a bastard, but i didn’t think you’d fuck me like this.” “i thought you liked it when i fucked you, lucas?”  LUKE’S STOMACH TURNED IN a way that made him laugh breathlessly. he scrubbed a hand over his face and took in a fresh breath to fill his lungs with courage. just say it. just say it, luke.  “why did my brother call me to tell me he was mad i got married without him?” luke wasn’t going to encourage julio anymore than he already had. “because you got married without him. rude, honestly. i thought you liked him a bit more than that, since you freaks share a face.”  “julio, the last time i saw you was four months ago. did we get married?” “yeah. janet officiated it.”  THE FLOOR FELT LIKE it fell out from under him, and he let out a pathetic sound as he shrunk down to the floor, in a crouch. the cigarette between his fingers trembled, but his eyes were stuck to the cherry at the end. the next time he got married, he wanted to do BETTER. getting married to a contact for a story he was working, a god damn con artist, was probably the STUPIDEST thing he could have done. no wonder gavin sounded so fucking angry on the phone.  “we’re fixing this. i’m not -- fuck, i don’t want to be married to you.” “that’s rude,” julio sounded a little more than pleased at the way luke’s voice shook. it made him grind his teeth. he was going to break his nose in the other direction this time. “can’t we talk about this?” “no,” was all but growled out by luke.  THERE WAS A LIGHT laugh on the other end of the phone, as well as some shifting. “alright, alright.” julio’s voice was still so full of mirth. “come meet me tonight, and we’ll work on this. honestly i thought it wasn’t valid, but i’m glad you found out from gavin.” “. . . i’ll be there around eight.” SEVEN HOURS LATER, WHEN lucas was zipping up his pants and fixing the belt around his waist -- he glanced over at julio’s sleeping form and wondered how he ended up in these types of situations. julio had agreed to the divorce, verbally at least. that was more than he thought he’d get. getting him to actually sign the papers would end up being a different matter -- but with two marriages under his belt, even the confirmation that he was SINGLE again did nothing to help luke out in his own head. 

jerome murphy -- one last shot

THE PURE EXHAUSTION HE was feeling was monumental. jet lagged and feeling like the bottom of a sludge bucket, he had no thoughts in his head past his husband. all he wanted to do was crawl into bed with him, he knew that jerome was off because luke was two days late from when he was meant to be home. he’d already called when his second flight was delayed, and even tho jerome mentioned that they needed to talk when he got home -- he had assumed it had something to do with their weeks apart.  “babe, i’m home!” luke’s voice rang out as he entered into his shared home. dropping his luggage at the door, he toed out of his shoes and continued inside. “i’m so fucking glad i got a self driving cab, traffic was backed up all the way to the . . . “  HIS VOICE TRAILED OFF as he caught sight of his husband. the large mass of a man was sitting on the couch, hands folded in his lap and kind eyes watching lucas. for a moment, luke felt like he was nineteen again and had just walked in on hope crying. but he wasn’t nineteen. he was an adult now, far past twenty. and jerome wasn’t hope. it wasn’t just the sight of him sitting there all patient, but it was what he had with him. on the coffee table there was his duffel bag, the one jerome brought with him on every report he’d ever gone on -- and an envelope. it wasn’t even just the bag ( jerome had said nothing about going away? ) or the envelope that caused his voice to cut off. it was what was sitting next to it.                                                   his wedding ring. “. . . what’s going on, jay?” luke kept the smile on his face as he searched over the older mans face. that kind expression never left his husbands face. “lucas, sit.” he moved over and patted the cushion next to him. for a second, luke wanted to argue --- he didn’t want to sit, but like a moth to the flame he slowly drifted over and took a seat next to his husband. their knees touched, and for some reason that was a comfort to him. that made him feel more safe. the wedding ring on the table was glaring at him from the corner of his eye.  “i’m sitting. what’s going on?” luke reached out, feeling like an idiot, for his husbands hand. jerome let him take it, and he held onto it -- squeezing tightly as his eyes searched his face.  “c’mon, luke,” jerome’s voice was a bit softer now. “you can’t tell me you didn’t see this coming.” HE FELT LIKE HE got shot at that. those words cut into him in a way he couldn’t explain. they were painful. but he smiled and shook his head -- brows knitting. “no, i -- what?” “i told you, remember? when we went to new york last year?” jerome sounded as if this didn’t hurt him, and luke was wracking his brain for anything his husband might had said last year. he had a good memory. he poured over the conversations in his mind, but he wasn’t fast enough for him. “we were eating dinner. the waitress asked if we were on retreat from our wives, and when we told her we were married she seemed shocked.” “because she was a homophobic brat.” “because we have no chemistry. we don’t mesh, lucas. we --” jerome pulled his hands back, and luke made a pathetic sound as he grasped at them -- unwilling to let go. but his husband continued and laid them in his lap, leaving the younger journalist’s hands empty. “we’re friends, luke. we’re friends who fuck.” “no, no.” luke shook his head and held up his hand, turning it so the gold wedding band caught the living room light. “we’re married, dumbass. we’ve been -- where is this coming from? we’ve been married for years. are you trying to tell me you --” HIS VOICE CAUGHT IN his throat as he let out an incredulous laugh. “you don’t love me anymore?” THE LOOK IN JEROME’S eyes said everything, and lucas felt cold. “i don’t think i ever was in love with you, luke. i don’t think you were ever in love with me either.” “bullshit -- i love you, jay --” “you love me, but you’re not in love with me. we barely see each other, you’re always working and so am i. we come home, eat together sometimes, make love and go back to work. we’re not in love. and, i’m getting older. so are you, lucas.” his tone sounded like a father scolding his son, and luke thought he was going to be sick. he should have taken that drink on the flight, but he’d wanted to be clean and sober when he got home to jerome. the thought that all he wanted to do was curl up against his husbands chest was still there, but now it made him feel like a sick fool.  JEROME SEEMED TO HAVE taken the lack of reply as acceptance. reaching up with those big hands, he cupped lucas’ face and pulled him in for a kiss. luke didn’t fight him on it, instead he all but melted into the taste of his lips, deepening the kiss in a way that jerome more than likely didn’t intend -- but didn’t stop. a good moment went by of their kiss, bitter by the taste of salt on luke’s end -- before jerome was pulling away.  “i’ll come back to pack up once i talk to my lawyer,” jerome spoke against his lips and luke couldn’t fight the bitter sob that broke from his chest. those hands were still on his face, and they rubbed soft circles against his cheek bones. when he opened his eyes -- he saw that kind face was tinted with a tinge of sadness.  “this is for the best, lucas.” “okay.” he sounded pathetic to his own years. why he was accepting it was beyond him, but he had never had the strength to fight with jerome as long as he knew him. the man was too kind. too sweet, and too smart. when his hands left him, his face felt so cold from the lack of heat. lucas didn’t chase him as he grabbed his duffel bag and headed for the front door. he heard the sound of him moving the luggage away from the door, before the gentle click of it closing behind him left him alone with no sound but the filter of the fish tank, and the sobs bubbling up from his own chest.

________________

“C’mon, c’mon! Pour up, Y/N!” Yejin exclaimed as you were fumbling with the lid of the soju bottle. It was you, Yejin, and Jongin, sitting in the living room of your apartment, for your monthly drink night that takes place every 2nd Friday with the aim to get absolutely drunk.

“I’m trying, you know!” You yelled back at her, the alcohol making you slur your words. You continued to fumble with the lid, but it didn’t want to budge. “Fuck!” You were about to throw the bottle against your wall, but Jongin caught your wrist before you could.

“I got this.” And with a flick of his wrist, the lid was off which meant more soju.

Not too long after, the three of you were long gone, laughing at ridiculous stories of the past.

“Listen— It’s not funny! I actually liked her!” Jongin was whining, as you and Yejin couldn’t stop laughing. “Jongin— you genuinely thought that giving her a bear mug would do the trick?” Yejin laughed even louder as she clung onto your arm, resulting in Jongin merely huffing and taking another swig from the bottle.

“You know... despite this university being supposedly for people like us… rich and all, it’s still boring. We’re so secluded from other universities! We can’t even go to their parties!” Your hands were thrown up in the air as you complained, your friends nodding in agreement.

“We should do something— something fun.” Yejin suddenly narrowed her eyes before pointing at you, her finger pressing into your cheek. “You. Miss I’m-an-incredible-hacker.”

You furrowed your brows and pointed at yourself. “Me?” Your answer made Yejin roll her eyes. “No, I’m referring to Miss Jongin.” Which resulted in him giving Yejin a light shove.

“Y/N, you should hack your way into Black Pearl and get us a free subscription on their alcohol and snacks. Wouldn’t that be fun! Right, Jongin?” The male nodded and stuck up both his thumbs.

A light scoff left you as you climbed over Yejin to grab your laptop before falling right back in your seat. “Piece of cake. Watch us bathe in champagne and pretzels!” You said with a grin before you opened up your laptop, cracking your fingers before you typed away.

Originally, you were born and raised in Seattle. But your parents decided to send you to a prestigious and private university in Seoul. They had the money, you had the brains. It was a match. And there you were, in Seoul, with your own apartment, own car, and the drive to graduate in biotechnology. That’s where you met Yejin, Jongin, and Chanyeol. It clicked right away, and you guys became a tight group of friends.

Chanyeol, unfortunately, couldn’t join the drinking night due to his working shift.

Not all 20 year olds were born with a silver spoon in their mouth.

“Y/N. You’re so slow. You suck at hacking.” Jongin murmured, causing you to narrow your eyes at him. “Don’t rush me! I don’t want to make mistakes.”

“Is that why we can’t look whenever you hack into wherever…” Yejin pursed her lips, causing you to roll your eyes at her as you continued to type away.

Soon, you noticed that you broke past the firewall. It confused you however, because liquor stores shouldn’t have such tough firewalls. But you were too far gone to think straight, obviously bathing in pride that you once again successfully hacked into another place, even when you were clearly drunk.

“Guess who’s making a breakthrough? This girl!” And your friends yelled in happiness, raising their bottles before taking a huge gulp.

Your eyes were glued to your screen once again, yet they slowly widened as you saw something very different pop up on your screen.

Black Lotus.

With furrowed eyebrows, did you delve deeper. And with regret. Suddenly, you could see a huge list of names. Some had red lines through them, others were underlined. You clicked on one of the names with a red line through them, and widened your eyes once again, feeling nausea hit you.

He was dead. There was a gaping hole right through his forehead.

The next picture was a news article speaking about this man’s death. But that wasn’t all. There was so much more. More names. More pictures. Locations. Weapons. And money. Lots of money. The numbers you saw made you gasp.

“Y/N? Is everything alright?” Jongin asked. But you didn’t respond. You couldn’t.

“Y/N? Hello? You’re paling!” Yejin snapped her fingers in front of your eyes, causing you to come back to your senses, quickly closing all tabs and slamming your laptop shut.

“I— Uh, it didn’t work. They had a second firewall I couldn’t break into. Sorry! I’m calling it a night. Goodnight!” And you quickly stood up, stumbling slightly before regaining your balance and making your way up the stairs and into your bedroom, leaving your friends confused.

You didn’t know what you just saw, and how on earth you got into their system. But god, did you wish that you didn’t.

—————————————————————

On the other side of Seoul, Minseok, the one in charge of Black Lotus, was currently furiously cursing.

“Fuck, fuck, fuck! How on earth did someone manage to hack into our system!” He was clearly frustrated, fingers threading through his jet black hair as he couldn’t stop walking around in his office.

“Seemingly our defense is too weak.” Baekhyun murmured with a shrug, comfortably situated in one of the armchairs.

“Shut the fuck up, Byun. This isn’t the time for your remarks. We don’t know how much they’ve seen.” Minseok quickly moved back to his desk, furiously typing away at his computer all whilst Baekhyun simply gazed at him.

“Let me guess, you’re trying to find out?” He tilted his head slightly to the side, brushing his brown locks away from his eyes.

“Do you genuinely think I can find out how much they know. I can’t get into their head— Ah. Well this is interesting. They, or should I say, she, should’ve hid her IP address.” A grin spread over Minseok’s lips as he leaned back in his seat, turning the computer towards Baekhyun which had a picture of you on it.

“Y/N Y/L/N. Currently attending Haesan university. 20 years old, and has a habit of visiting the gym every saturday evening. Byun, I have a job for you.”

“Does this one pay me well?” Baekhyun rose an eyebrow as he got up this feet, hands dusting off his pants.

“Does me not shooting your brains out count as a payment?” Minseok hissed at the male, causing him to let out a light laugh and raise his hands in defense.

“She really did piss you off. I see. How do you want me to take her out? Fast? Slow and agonising? You tell me.” Baekhyun’s fingers were playing with a small knife that he held, fingers brushing the blade before he locked eyes with the other male.

“I don’t care. Just get the job done. And you know how we work here at Black Lotus. You go in, as—”

“As silent as the black night. Take out. Vanish. I know the protocol, Minseok. Come on, I’ve been doing this job for how long now? Easy now. Am I not the one that earns us the most money?”

“Don’t get cocky, Byun. Just go.” Minseok said with a sigh, as Baekhyun merely grinned before walking out of the office and down the hallway.

“Y/N. You don’t know what’s coming.”

—————————————————————

The next day, at university, you tried your best to convince your friends that nothing was wrong. You played it off with the same excuse of the firewall, and that you left them because you felt very nauseous due to drinking too much. They didn’t buy it at first, but you continued to press that that was the truth and to just leave it be. Eventually, they agreed.

“So, anyone joining me tonight on my gym session?” You said as you and your three friends were walking towards the parking lot of the university.

“Sorry, I have another work shift tonight.. We will definitely hang out together soon! I’ll ask my boss to change my schedule next week?” Chanyeol said with a small smile. You simply nodded before turning to Yejin and Jongin.

“You see— we’re still pretty hung over from yesterday. We planned on getting some coffee and crashing at Yejin’s place. Sorry, Y/N. We’re not as sporty as you are.” Jongin wrapped his arm around your shoulders, giving you an apologetic smile.

“You guys suck as friends. I’ll go alone then. Watch me rock that summer body.” Your eyes narrowed at your friends before the four of you burst out into laughter, soon seperating to go to your own cars.

Later that evening, you decided to walk to the gym. If you were going to get sporty, then walking was that cherry on top. Once you got the gym, and stored everything in your locker, did you walk up the stairs to start your usual treadmill session for half an hour. You had your earbuds in, and were very focused on maintaining a solid breathing pattern as you ran. Yet you couldn’t shake the feeling off that someone was watching you.

After an hour or so, did you call it a day since your muscles were evidently complaining. Boxing asked a lot of effort. With a sigh, did you step out in the cool night air, zipping your coat further up as you made your way back home. That eerie feeling of earlier was still rather present. That feeling of someone watching you. You didn’t know what it was, but it made you pick up your pace.

Two streets later, and you felt very much followed. You didn’t know what was going on, but it was slowly starting to make you panic. You quickly turned the corner, nearing a busy shopping street. Yet before you could turn that very last corner, did you feel a pair of hands clutch onto your shoulders, pulling you backwards.

You were about to let out a piercing scream, but a gloved hand covered your mouth as you were pulled into a secluded alley. You were then thrown against the brick wall, the person in front of you pressing their forearm against your throat.

You couldn’t see clearly, since it was quite dim, and the person in front of you was wearing a mask and cap. The only thing that you could see were a pair of what seemed to be dark brown eyes, gazing intently at you.

“Wh—What do you want? Money? Take it—” You managed to choke out, struggling to breathe with their forearm still pressed against your throat. The person rolled their eyes and shook their head.

“Don’t worry. I have more than enough.” He murmured, his voice sounding quite smooth compared to the rough way he was pressing you against the wall. He then reached into his pocket, pulling out a sharp knife.

“Unfortunately, I’ll have to bid you farewell. Sorry, love. You shouldn’t have hacked into our system.” The male pressed the cold blade against your jaw, slowly sliding it down to your throat, leaving a cut on your jaw. Your eyes slowly widened as you realised what he was talking about, panic washing over you.

“I—I didn’t see anything! I don’t even know what Black Lotus is! Please, don’t—” You were gasping for air, as tears started to well up in your eyes.

“Assassins, sweetheart. Like I said, you shouldn’t have hacked your way into our system. Goodbye.” He pressed the blade against your throat, and you started to squirm against his grip. You didn’t want to die. There was too much left for you to do, and you didn’t want one drunken night to ruin everything. That’s when you realised something. Your legs.

You struggled even more against his grip before lifting up your foot, and kicking the male right between his legs, causing him to topple over, dropping the knife in the meantime. Once you were free from his grip, did you also fall down to the floor, gasping for air. Yet you realised you didn’t have the time for that, quickly grabbing your bag and dashing away from the male.

However, you felt a strong grip on your ankle as you tried to escape, pulling you down to the ground with a slam, causing you to groan out in pain as you landed right on your left arm and leg.

“You bitch.” The male muttered as he grabbed the knife again, quickly hovering over you and pinning you down to the ground. You continued to struggle against his grip, squirming around even more as he tried to cover your mouth once again. When his hand succeeded at covering your mouth, did you part your lips to bite down firmly onto his gloved hand, causing him to curse and pull it away from your mouth.

“You really are a tough one, aren’t you.” Yet before he could do anything else, did you let out a piercing scream.

“Someone please help me! In this alley! I’m being attacked!” You continued to scream as you struggled more and more against the male, trying to make it as difficult as possible for him to do anything with the blade. However, your struggling was soon stopped, as he firmly pinned your arms above your head, sitting with his full weight right on your abdomen. You tried to move, but to no avail.

His grip tightened on your wrists, as he kept them in place with one hand, the other reaching out for the knife once again. Tears welled up in your eyes once again as the blade came in your sight.

“Game over, love.” And you felt the cold metal press against your throat once again. But that was until you heard a voice yell.

“Hey! What’s going on here!” It seemed to be a male. Soon, his voice was followed by another male. And another male. And a woman. All stood by the opening of the alley, yelling at the man on top of you.

“Someone call the police! He’s attacking her!”

“Fuck.” You heard the male mutter. He quickly let go of you, before getting up from the ground, looking around before he clicked a rope with a hook tied to it off his belt. He threw the hook up, until it was secured on the edge of the building to your right, and quickly climbing his way up before the spectators could catch him.

And with that, he vanished.

Yet there you were, on the ground, tears still streaming down your cheeks as you slowly tried to sit up, two of the spectators walking up to you and crouching next to you.

“Miss, are you alright? My god, what happened there?” Did the woman ask, reaching her arm out for you, as she slowly helped a wincing you up. Your arm and leg hurt, and you expected to find bruises on them the next morning. You shakily lifted your fingers up to touch your bleeding jaw, wincing once again at the contact.

“I—I’m fine. Thank you for saving me. But please— don’t call the police. I’ll be fine. Please.” You shakily exhaled, looking at the two spectators with a sad smile. You had a feeling that if the police got involved, it would cause a lot more trouble. Plus, they’d find out that you’ve been hacking, and that would get you into trouble as well.

“But miss, you’re bleeding.” The man pulled out his phone, as he pointed at your jaw.

“It’s fine— Please. I’ll call someone to take me home. But please don’t call them.” You practically pleaded. The male sighed before nodding, and the woman slowly helped you stand up. You felt your legs tremble, and you had to brace yourself against the wall as you took out your phone to call Chanyeol.

You didn’t know what you got yourself into, but it wasn’t pretty. You hacked into the database of Black Lotus. An assassin network. Suddenly, you hated soju and swore to never touch it again.
