If someone could find her more than just the tough girl that was meant to be high witch of Seoul after her mother passed or her father’s understudy, she wished it. She wished for people to see the real person she was, the one that had real joy when fighting and not because it was expected but because her fondest memories were learning how to fight with her dad. She was very quietly sentimental. Not many people knew that. “I didn’t mean to put you on the spot, I apologize.” She paused. “I don’t….actually care. About that. I know and remember the issues my family has had with the fae over me and I don’t…care. They did what they could to protect me then, but I could very much hold my own now.”
[ 🙤 · ┈┈┈┈┈┈ · ] ⠀ ━━ he sure his reputation wouldn’t mean anything to her. not when one considers the quiet, unsavory activities her family takes part in on a regular basis. what damon has done, what yoobin has done … his actions pale in comparison. but the scrutiny follows him regardless. he gives her a gentle smile, “you hold the power. if that’s how you feel…you know where to find me this evening.”

“Ah, I’m….actually not sure.” If she was truly being honest, she wasn’t. She didn’t know what didn’t attract men to her. But then again, she did have high standards. Seeing her parents growing up being the ideal and example couple made her search for that exact fit. “It doesn’t feel like I do.” She admitted once Camile’s in her line of sight again. “But you’ve never been wrong before, I have no reason to think you’re lying to me. I like that analogy. Do you think that about me?”
[ 🙤 · ┈┈┈┈┈┈ · ] ⠀ ━━ her tone is soft, and she speaks with a gentleness and vulnerability that seem so unlike the berry he’s grown familiar with. it baffles him a bit, and makes him reconsider the question she’s asking. reconsider the meaning behind it. he searches carefully for words that would not insult, “…i’ve never had to consider it before now. you’ve put me on the spot, miss berry. but yes…yes I would think of you as something worth trying to outbid everyone else for. but I also don’t think I’d be permitted to be part of the auction at all. “ he’s well aware of his own reputation. there’s a reason he’s remained unattached all these years.

“Ah-” Okay, she hadn’t expected that. The red head whirls around, trying not to look like she’d had the shock of her life. “I mean, it’s not that I don’t think I can, it’s more like…I don’t know, I seem to scare men.” Though with good reason, she supposed. Jinyoung had taught her, she was his warrior princess, and she was a very substantial fighter.
[ 🙤 · ┈┈┈┈┈┈ · ] ⠀ ━━ camile tilts his head to the side a bit, as if to attempt to continue to see her face after she’s turned her back on him. with a small smile, he realizes might’ve been a bit to forward. they’re inside now, and camile sets the painting down on the nearest surface gently, “ are you to much for them, or are they not enough for you ?? there’s something to be said about the way we frame things. you command a high price. not to place you in the position of property again, it’s just an analogy but … “ he moves back into her field of vision, “ when artwork is auctioned off, it’s easy to see it as a bunch of rich, selfish individuals squabbling to buy a trophy. but in reality, it’s a piece that is so highly desired and important, than people will crawl and scramble over each other to have it. yes, marriages can be convenient. but you get to decide who it’s convenient for. you hold all the power.”

“Yes, it’s to throw me to some man for power reasons. I never thought my mother would ever agree to this.” It’s a century old tradition and she knows it, but that doesn’t make it any better. “Hyunwoo is likable, so is Soren. They’re pretty boys that can get any girl to fall for them. And that’s fine. I swear, I don’t think there’s anyone that can match up to me.”
[ 🙤 · ┈┈┈┈┈┈ · ] ⠀ ━━ “ and what makes you any less of a beautiful woman who could make men fall for her ?? “ his question is genuine, and accented with a small smirk, “ you are no less gorgeous and powerful than the women who’ve come before you. i mean this in the most respectful manner possible, but I’m unsure what it is about you that makes you believe you’re incapable of having the same draw.”

“I don’t know how much I like that we’re surrounded in drama. But I’m used to it, so it’s fine. I’m happy as long as I’m with my family. My family is family, Ethan is family, you’re family.” Leia blinked, surprised. “We’re going out? Isn’t it dangerous though?”
[ 🙤 · ┈┈┈┈┈┈ · ] ⠀ ━━ “ ethan knows, and we have plans in place if anything happens. he didn’t want you cooped up in here forever – going to work is a little much, but I can take you to breakfast. also, the thought of being cooped up in your boyfriend’s dorm is…” he shakes his head, his expression reading that the thought makes him uncomfortable.

Berry raises an eyebrow, wild red hair tossed over one shoulder with a small eye narrowing. “Hey, I don’t like having to forcibly put on a dress. It seems…..ridiculous, really.” She tilts her head, looks at him directly. “Truly I think I would be more excited to do that. At least you’re not being auctioned off like some prized trophy.”
[ 🙤 · ┈┈┈┈┈┈ · ] ⠀ ━━ camile’s brow quirks, realization striking him, “ ahh. so that is purpose of this party. “ it makes sense, and he cannot help but feel sympathetic. presumably it was not only for berry, but everyone else within her group – soren, hyunwoo, eris too perhaps ?? he doesn’t know, and he won’t ask, “ i understand the distaste for it then.”

“Ah, my grandfather and grandmother sure keep you on your toes it seems.” Imagine, Berry Park being felled by anything or anyone? And here she was absolutely being felled by this art restorer. “My mother wishes to have some deliveries done before the gathering tonight. And then I’ll have to put on a dress and pretend to care. Surely you know I’m not excited.”
[ 🙤 · ┈┈┈┈┈┈ · ] ⠀ ━━ he doesn’t think berry the gossipy type, but he still keeps his own thoughts regarding the affair to himself. younger member or not, she is still a park. he’s gotten used to being at least mildly proper around them so that he doesn’t find his studio upturned out of spite, “ surely i did not know, but it does seem to be in character for you. “ is his response, a playful smile on his lips, “when you find yourself not caring and bored, remember that my job for the entire night is to stand around paintings and eventually auction them off. you get to take part in all the enjoyable parts of the affair. “

“I mean, yeah. But I mean…” He laughs, rubbing the back of his neck shyly. Well, there was one thing about the two of them; they had their focuses. He wants to eventually be a director, she wants to work with fish. “Ey, it’s not that impressive. My dad just always talked about it. Ever since I’ve known you, you’ve liked fish. I have very distinct memories of when we were kids and you always knew things about koi fish. I didn’t think fish were even cool until you started talking about them.” He tilts his head. “What’s that one called? Reef fish are usually good to have together, right? I do listen!”
[ 🙤 · ┈┈┈┈┈┈ · ] ⠀ ━━ “ the yellow one? that’s a yellow tang. “ she shakes her head, chuckling still at his insistence on being invested in her hobbies. it wasn’t something she ever asked or expected of him, “ yeah, reef fish get along well enough if there are no predators for them to wrry about…you don’t have to, y’know? like i get it, i talk a lot about this stuff. it’s interesting when you look at it in context of the whole marine biology field, but on it’s own it’s just boring and rambly.”

“And why not? It’s true!” Leia points out, just happy to have her friend in any capacity. She didn’t want to think about having to live her life at all without Namgi. She was so convinced that for awhile she’d have to continue as a very lonely art student again. Having him back was a beautiful gift. “It’s another issue with my dad. It always is. I…hope eventually Ethan and I can have a place to ourselves just to get away from this madness sometimes. You know, if anyone deserves some shred of normalcy, it’s him.” She shrugged. “I’m really excited to spend time with you, though. You’re just in time, I was about to bake the dorm out of existence.”
[ 🙤 · ┈┈┈┈┈┈ · ] ⠀ ━━ “yeah, i’ve come to learn how much…drama seems to surround you and your family. and i think if ethan truly was bothered by it, things would’ve broken off between you two by now. he’s risking is career and livelihood every day. maybe this is normal enough for him. “ namgi shrugs, “but those are just my stupid observations – go get dressed. we’re going out.”

God, she’s annoyed. All of these things going on have her wanting to just run off. So today she’s in and out with her mother’s orders for herbs and such, and she’d asked her daughter to go talk to Yoobin. Of course as she’s about to walk through, she raises an eyebrow and turns to see Camile. “Let him in. You don’t want me or my father to discipline you for disobedience. Grandfather’s business is not any of your business, is it?” Her tone is clipped to the guards, motioning to Camile. “It’s been awhile, how are you? Come in, please.”
[ 🙤 · ┈┈┈┈┈┈ · ] ⠀ ━━ “ thank you. “ he avoids the guards gaze as he steps past them and walks alongside berry, “ i’ve been well. very busy, though, you grandparents have always had a knack for keeping me occupied.” he motions to the parcel in his arms – a delicately wrapped painting that’s taken him some number of days to restore, “ this is going to be auctioned off at the gathering this evening, i’ve been told. so there was a bit of a rush to have it done. and you ?? “

Really, she hadn’t planned on doing anything except just stay in the dorm and read or bake. Stress bake, of course. Of which Ethan would probably gently chide her for making them all violate their probable diets for this new drama they were filming. So when she wakes up that morning and goes to make herself some coffee, she’s pleasantly surprised. “Namgi!” She’s thrilled, all of a sudden, tucking herself into him in a tight hug. The last time they’d seen each other was when Ethan was talking about taking him. “I missed you too. Oh my gosh, it’s so weird going to the library and not seeing you anymore. You’re doing well, though? I know nothing’s too hard for you, you’re awesome.”
[ 🙤 · ┈┈┈┈┈┈ · ] ⠀ ━━ “ aish, don’t say thinks like that. i’m not awesome. i’m lucky. lucky i got to know you. otherwise i might not be here right now. “ acceptance of himself was the hardest part of this ordeal. even now as he acknowledges his corporeal nature, he misses the days where he’d convinced himself he was alive, “ ethan asked me to babysit you while he’s out, so we’ll get to hang out more. at least until your dad says it’s safe again.”

“Please don’t think I’m stupid, but I know nothing about fish.” That was what he’d said to the tank guy when he’d bought that huge tank for Sky House. It’s a test, really. If Solbin likes this, then he can really start thinking about the huge tank he wanted to make for her to study her fish. It was…probably, the neatest way to propose. They’d been together four years, and this thing was still a long way off and still a concept and a dream, but for now he’s happy to have gifted the tank for their four year anniversary. And judging by her reaction, he did a good job, which has him with Solbin at a mart in Seoul. “Babe, this is a lot of…like, how do you even know where to start with this sort of thing? I thought I remember you saying that some fish can’t actually live together or they’ll eat each other. I don’t know how you do it.”
[ 🙤 · ┈┈┈┈┈┈ · ] ⠀ ━━ “ jagi, I already think your stupid, that ship sailed years ago. ” solbin’s eyes are locked on a particular tank. specifically, a strikingly bright yellow fish that’s darting in and out of the synthetic reef, “ it’s not any different from anyone else having an interest, yknow? like…everything you know about film and production … “ she turns her gaze on him, “ that’s just as impressive. “

[ 🙤 · ┈┈┈┈┈┈ · ] ⠀ ━━ camile is not surprised by the increase of security around the park estate, so much as he is irritated by the guards barring his entry into the main house to drop off a piece of work for damon, “ he’s expecting me. follow me in if you like, i just need to drop this on his desk.” when a guard reaches out to touch the item, agreeing to deliver it himself, camile takes a step back. that earns him no trust, “ very delicate … “ he sighs. and then his attention is caught by the fact that these same guards have moved aside to let one of the park ladies of the house in. berry to be exact, and camile calls out, “miss berry – “ he said quickly, “ would you be so kind as to tell them to let me in ?? i have something to deliver to your grandfather.”

[ 🙤 · ┈┈┈┈┈┈ · ] ⠀ ━━ “ leia ~ !! “ there’s not a huge height difference between himself and leia, but the manner in which he’s managed to swallow her in a hug gives off the image of him being much bigger than her. it’s been a little over a month since he’d last had the chance to interact with her, let alone hold her. he’s making up for lost time,“ i missed you. i’ve been so busy. so, so, so busy it’s amazing. it makes me miss working at the library.“ leia in d:fi’s care isn’t typically an issue, but on the first day of new schedules, it became apparent they’d be out of the dorm all day. and so ethan had solicited the help of someone he knew would go above and beyond to keep her safe.
