crying over minjun & addie on discord with @idolpyre & how it genuinely took one interview with no spin for addie to be kicking her feet & giggling over him

she   would   still   be   𝓽𝓻𝓪𝓹𝓹𝓮𝓭   𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓮   ,   forced   against   her   own   will   to   do   these   horrible   things—   he   would   still   be   trapped   here   ,   being   𝙸𝙼𝙿𝚁𝙸𝚂𝙾𝙽𝙴𝙳   𝙵𝙾𝚁   𝙴𝙽𝚃𝙴𝚁𝙽𝙸𝚃𝚈   in   a   hellscape   where   not   even   death   was   a   true   end   to   the   torture   &   pain   .   shallow   breaths   slow   over   time   ,   the   tears   that   streak   down   her   cheeks   begin   to   dry   ,   a   small   trickle   of   crimson   begins   to   drip   from   her   nose   as   she   feels   her   whole   body   tremble   ,   head   spinning   …   why   would   the   entity   curse   them   with   a   power   that   left   them   in   such   a   shambled   state   ??   or   …   perhaps   she   was   just   too   𝑊𝐸𝐴𝐾      .

breathing   finally   returns   to   a   normal   pace   ;   her   hands   still   tremble   lightly   as   she   slowly   turns   to   meet   the   former   idol's   gaze—   doe   eyes   glimmer   with   ᶤᶰˢᵉᶜᵘʳᶤᵗʸ   &   ᵘᶰˢᵘʳᵉᶰᵉˢˢ   as   she   wonders   what   he'll   do   now   ;   almost   worrried   that   this   small   interaction   between   them   would   𝐴𝑁𝐺𝐸𝑅   the   one   forcing   them   into   these   𝖓𝖎𝖌𝖍𝖙𝖒𝖆𝖗𝖎𝖘𝖍   𝖌𝖆𝖒𝖊𝖘   over   &   over   again   on   loop   ,   she   peeks   around   nervously   to   make   sure   no   one   else   is   around   to   see   before   she   speaks   back   to   him   finally   .      

❝      t-th   …   t-thank   you   .   ❞

she   speaks   in   𝓪   𝓱𝓾𝓼𝓱𝓮𝓭   𝓿𝓸𝓲𝓬𝓮   ;   as   if   speaking   to   loudly   too   him   would   land   them   both   in   𝚀𝚄𝙸𝚃𝙴   𝙰   𝙱𝙸𝚃   of   trouble   ,   despite   her   not   knowing   for   sure   whether   or   not   that   would   be   the   case   .   ❝   y-you—   you   didn't   just   l-leave   me   there   …   ,   ❞   gaze   drifts   to   the   soil   beneath   her   ;   fingers   running   through   the   bits   of   grass   she   had   pulled   up   from   the   earth   below   them   amidst   her   crash   ,   ❝      w-why   ???   ❞

⠀ ⠀★ @wiredsmile sacrificed an offering : heart pounding behind her ribs so hard it aches ; ears ringing , vision blurred as the rush of adrenaline from the frenzy dissipates & leaves her crashing down to her knees — whole body screaming in pain as the effects of their momentary rush of unbridled blood lust thrust upon them by the entity wears of . she hates frenzying , she truly wishes she never had to do it . so disoriented in her current state-- she doesn't notice the survivor watching as she removes her mask in an attempt to breathe ; cat eared hood slipping down long pink curls to rest against her back as she gasps for air .

⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀minjun has seen her chase more than he has seen her actually swing at the survivors — with the three generators already done, maybe she's lost all hope. even in the bloodthirst of a frenzy, she had only managed to injure feng min before the girl escaped off into the inky darkness of the macmillian estate.

⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀minjun, who had been hiding behind the rubble and fully ready to jump in front of feng min to take the legion's blade — did not have to resort to such lengths as his fellow survivor simply just got away. the killer however does not seem as lucky, and minjun can't help but watch as the legion collapses into a pathetic heap in the dirt.

⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀stuck between a rock and a hard place, the idol wonders if he should just leave her like this or not. she doesn't even know he's here, he could escape and go do something actually useful for his team with ease — but how heavy would that weigh on his subconscious ? maybe jiwoon was right, maybe his soft heart is what ultimately got him killed.

⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀❝ are, ah — are you alright ? ❞ his voice is soft and laced with concern, and her heaving figure reminds him of a past version of himself. those first few steps off the stage, away from the crowds, and trying to force the air back into the tightness of your chest. what is he doing ? showing empathy for one of the things hunting them all down for some greater god — but when he catches the side of her face, minjun realizes she is just as human as he is.

⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀crawling towards her, the idol puts a gentle hand in the middle of her back. in this moment, they don't exist as two sides of opposite teams, as killer and survivor — they exist as two humans thrown into a shitty situation, both of them prey of the entity. ❝ it's alright, you're alright — just breathe with me . . . through your nose for two counts, and then slowly out of your mouth for four. ❞

are we still friends?

it's   almost   funny   to   her   that   he   asks   that   question   ,   even   as   they   sit   together   ,   trapped   in   a   quite   literal   𝐇͟𝐄͟𝐋͟𝐋͟𝐒͟𝐂͟𝐀͟𝐏͟𝐄   that   they   just   can't   seem   to   escape—   it's   𝑜𝑑𝑑𝑙𝑦   𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔   ,   in   a   way   ,   to   see   that   even   after   the   …   ʰᵒʳʳᶤᵇˡᵉ   ᵗʰᶤᶰᵍ   jiwoon   had   done   to   him   &   the   rest   of   the   band   ,   that   minjun   was   just   the   same   as   he   was   the   last   time   they   had   spoken   before   she   got   the   news   .   that   awful   ,   ɴɪɢʜᴛᴍᴀʀɪsʜ   ɴᴇᴡs   .   she   could   still   feel   the   cold   numbness   that   washed   over   her   the   moment   she   had   turned   on   the   tv   to   see   the   news   that   mightee   one's   recording   studio   had   gone   up   in   flames   ;   hearing   that   the   others   had   𝚊͟𝚕͟𝚕͟   𝚙͟𝚎͟𝚛͟𝚒͟𝚜͟𝚑͟𝚎͟𝚍   in   the   flames   whilst   the   known   diva   seemingly   disappeared   without   a   trace   .   it   made   her   chest   ache   ,   her   stomach   𝐃𝐑𝐎𝐏   just   thinking   about   it   momentarily   ,   but   she's   brought   back   to   the   𝑜𝑛𝑒   𝑠𝑖𝑙𝑣𝑒𝑟   𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔   she   can   find   in   amongst   all   the   despair   &   unfairness   of   the   way   they've   ended   up   .
