Without missing a beat, she entered the shop in the hopes that her manager would not steal her away from her friend. Even though it was her day off, she had her own worries for the limited time she had to rest, and it made her possessive of her quality time outside of work.
“Hey, that looks like- Wait…” Her voice faltered as a feeling of shock and disbelief fell over her. Right before her very eyes was another Min-jun. But how was that possible?! Was this one right next to her his twin after all?
Whether or not it was by natural instinct, her hand reached to cling to the sleeve of her friend, if she were to call him that considering this remarkable situation, and she addressed him by name in spite of her previous doubt.
“Min-jun… Am I hallucinating…?”
❝ you aren’t. ❞ & they’re looking at each other, the logic nodding at the happiness. happiness lifts a hand in recognition with the arm without her attached to it. ❝ sorry ! ❞ he keeps his voice hushed, the apology directed at both her & logic. ❝ that’s logic. I don’t know what he’ll think is the most reasonable step, ❞ said a little too cheerfully.
logic approaches, nods again, & gestures to outside : it’s almost captivating to watch himself be so decisive, but unnerving to see his face devoid of anything, including paranoia. as if forgetting her ( but not really, he just assumes she’ll follow ), he follows logic outside, & as soon as they are out logic taps happiness on the shoulder & --- disappears.

Now there’s a face she hasn’t seen in a while. Her target was locked, and she was ready for the attack.
She ran up to the tall man, and wrapped her arms around his torso, pressing her pink-dusted cheek against his chest. It wasn’t in her nature to be this forward but this was an exception. She didn’t realize how much she missed having him around until he showed up out of the blue.
“Where’ve you been?”
he stiffens at the sudden contact & he is surprised to feel no pain : but then again he’s not in danger, & he recognises her breath & the sound of her footsteps, anyway. exhales at her question, he weighs it up & knows he can’t really say he’s been --- saving the world ?
❝ I’ve been busy. work. ❞ so vague, it’s not good enough !! he’s been gone for weeks. ❝ & ... something came up. ❞ ( he should apologise, shouldn’t he ? ) ❝ sorry. also, the hug���s unexpected. planning on caging me ? ❞ he can’t bring himself to return it. --- what if he uses too much strength or he does something that’s frowned on or --- ??

“Oh…” So she was close to being used by a stranger. That didn’t earn the guy any points in her favor. At the very least, he admitted to his intentions, though a stern expression remained on her face as she listened to his justification.
She hesitated before answering to his pitiful statement, trying not to let her guard down. Not being familiar with his background, how could she trust his word off the bat? Especially after he almost duped her into being his cover from unwanted attention.
“Well, I don’t appreciate your motive there…” Her brow furrowed as she averted her gaze from his, a demeanor of defeat in her features which was followed by an irritated huff.
“But I don’t give a damn about my reputation; so if you need a rental friend for the day, I’m free.” She really did pity him, and she cursed herself for caving in far too easily.
❝ really ? ❞ surprise overtakes his expression & removes his usual distant demeanour, just for a moment : he had expected a REFUSAL & her walking away. that’s what he would do ( & has done, but he’s always been told by others he’s a cold man. ) ❝ you shouldn’t --- not only because my motives are questionable, but because I’m a boring person. ❞ a moment of hesitation, then he sighs.
❝ well ... then ... ❞ ah, he hadn’t thought this through. as soon as he’d explained himself, he expected a blunt rejection. he shifts uneasily, clearly unused to talking to anyone in anything that’s not work-related. ❝ I don’t --- need anyone for the whole day, um. is there anything you want to do ? I’ll pay ? ❞

Fans? Stalkers? Was she talking to a celebrity? Was she supposed to know about him? Regardless, she could never bring herself to care about all that petty gossip about people she didn’t know, as charismatic as they were. Besides, this guy seemed eager to avoid all the attention his supposed fame had drawn to himself, and she didn’t mind giving him a hand as long as he was honest.
At his invitation to reward her, she grew sheepish. For barely doing anything, this guy sure was generous!
“Oh, uh, you don’t have to! No payment needed for… mumbling.”
--- that didn’t work. another look outside & he’ll sigh, although
the sigh is a gentle one that he barely hears : then decides he might as well tell
her. takes his phone out to check ( pure habit the driving force ).
❝ it’s not really payment. I was going to use you as cover.
no one seems to notice me when I’m with other people, & I honestly just want
to avoid a coffee in peace. ❞ there’s a roll of his eyes & a self-deprecating smile ---
for once, pretending to feel things is coming in handy. but you can’t stop hating yourself
for sounding like other people in your life. ❝ don’t worry about it, though. I get it if
you don’t want to risk being known as like, my friend. ❞

Part of her wondered how true that casually-spoken statement was. How often was he lonely without her knowing? She made a mental note to invite him more often to tea and/or coffee.
She stared dumbly at him as he went on about emotions. At this point, he was speaking riddles. All this talk about his emotions as if they were physical entities left her at a loss. Now she was all the more curious as to what he meant, and played along instead of questioning him further.
“Uhh, there is the one I work at that’s only a couple blocks from here…” She gestured for him to follow as she made her way down the street.
follows in her steps dutifully, there’s a look around
himself as if anyone can be another part of himself & every shadow is capable
of holding him : no shadow is able to ( none would sink so low --- PUSH
AWAY THE UNHAPPINESS, this body has no room for it. )
❝ that’s probably it, then, ❞ he’ll say, wonders what he’ll
do if they aren’t there, & what he should do if they’re there. probably smile &
welcome them in, but what would logic say ?? as he thinks, he’ll take longer &
longer strides until he reaches where he thinks they’re supposed to be. hesitation
robs him of any potential action he should take, & he’ll seek help from her,
silently asks her to enter first.

Quite a snappy one, it seemed. Although, he supposed that he were partly at fault for his lingering gaze. “My apologies,” It was said with a faltering smile, faint embarrassment etched into his expression. “You seemed rather pale, is all… Are you quite alright?”
❝ I normally look like this, ❞ & will not mention
it’s rare for him to appear under sunlight, ( he’s not allowed to do so normally,
as far as he knows ). ah, now he has to ask, ❝ are you asking because of
my skin or because of how I’m dressed ? ❞

How could a person kill someone? | From Janna
* john mulaney. / accepting ! / @prismbursts !
by ripping out throats or by pulling out their heart, or driving them to the brink : — HIS HANDS DO NOT SMELL OF ANYTHING OTHER THAN SOAP. he knows because he washes them clean every night & he smells them three times in the day, each time before he is to eat. ( YOU CAN PRETEND HOWEVER MUCH YOU LIKE, YOU FAILURE, but sin is not erased. )
❝ you close your eyes, the first time, ❞ or at least he did, he remembers looking away from scenes of death & eventually, he stopped being able to pull himself away, he watches bodies fall like it’s rain. it’s a careless shrug that follows, WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO IT ?
❝ why ? ❞ — why do you ask, when you likely know how it is done ? why are you asking him ? * words are silenced & bound, will not be granted voice.

headcanon : his past. this will apply until canon tells me it or if i remain dissatisfied w it :)
he grew up fairly isolated when he was a child up until about the age of 9. his mother also verbally abused him, although he himself isn’t aware that’s what it is : but as he’s older, he’s now slightly aware of this. he tries not to imitate his mother but finds himself still being acidic / abrasive. his father left when he was about 11, citing his mother as the cause.
in school he had no friends but several acquaintances. they all liked him & usually want to get to know him better, but he resisted because knowing him is like getting to know his mother. consciously, though, he just says he’s not interested in forming relationships.
he’s never had a girlfriend, because his mother tells him he is worthless & stupid, but all women want to control him anyway. she tells him his one good thing is his appearance, but he thinks she’s wrong. she tells him he’s dumb, but his test grades say otherwise. he moves out when he’s 18 for university & she tells him he’ll fail. while he didn’t pass a few courses, he still graduated & both of his parents were there. his mother tells him she always knew he could do it, & his father says he’s so proud of the son he raised. as soon as they get in the car to go celebrate, his mother tells him he took too long to get it & his father says he could’ve gone to a better university.
when he’s 22, he’s home from a job interview at the place he really wanted to work at when a fire breaks out at the place he’s staying. he nearly dies, but instead ----

“Ah?” A dumbfounded expression painted her features as she stared up at the rather attractive man. Pretend to talk? She wasn’t much of a conversationalist herself; so even that would be a tricky feat for her. Regardless, she found herself muttering nonsensical things that she hoped would pass as a “conversation.” It was a relief for her that she didn’t have to keep up with this charade for too long; especially when it was for the sake of a stranger whose motives were undetermined. He could be a criminal on the run for all she knew.
“Mariko,” she replied to his introduction as she gingerly shook his hand, a wary eye maintaining contact with his own. “Who were you hiding from?”
❝ fans, I think. I’ve seen them around a lot though,
so... stalkers ? ❞ his tone will convey disgust, although his controlled
countenance barely flickers. ❝ sorry, that came out of nowhere. --- I was
hoping to enjoy time by myself, but I’m sure you can guess what
happened. ❞
but given how she asks, he supposes he’s going unrecognised.
--- he thanks�� the stars it’s her he chose & not --- anyone else : YOU MAY USE
THIS TO YOUR ADVANTAGE & HIDE FROM PRYING EYES. ❝ I’ll buy you something,
as payment. ❞
