Conspiracies || Junkyung & Haneul

Sat, 14 Jul 2012 17:06:18 -0400

It wasn’t easy for Junkyung to rip his interest in the Madonna group he’s been hearing about, it keeps on drawing him back in the past, when he had attempted to flirt with that really hot nurse called Heeyeon. Why her? She doesn’t look like the dancing type, so why does he keep on recalling her? However, he’s not one to ignore people’s company, especially Haneul’s, since the last time he recalled, he was head over heels for her and he still was. He looks back at her, from the lighting crew, to the Madonna sign and then back to her. Oops. He’s still flipping out in his stomach and that’s not good. (Duh)

“Why? You don’t like my flattering lines?” Junkyung tried to sarcastically nag, though he’s not sure if that worked. Not when his heart is thumping too loudly against his rib cage. Ugh stop it, he tells himself as he glances around, in attempt to close out any anxiety he might feel later on.

Even Haneul hasn’t heard of the Seoul Showstoppers, eh? That’s pretty interesting. They must be new, Junkyung foolishly thought. But of course, in the back of his mind, he knew they were powerful since they’re going up the so called femme fatale Madonna, or so he thinks as he listens patiently to Haneul describing them. Then his mind drew a blank and then blasted him back to Heeyeon. If she was in the Madonna group he suspects her to be, she’s one heck of a prowess to be working in the hospital and not some girl next door he had eventually thought her to be.

“You know, I don’t think this competition is made for singers. Well, not this year. I don’t know, some gut instincts telling me.” Junkyung shrugged, as he looked at Haneul, with much gathered courage and preparedness. He was immediately sucked into her beautiful eyes, as he had expected. It was the first thing that made him fall in love with her anyways, that night when he first listened to her in Haru.

Just like the sky, it was always beautiful at night, and even better when there were some dazzling stars accompanying it. In this case, the stars would be Haneul’s eyes.

She scrunched up her face once again in disgust. “Flattering? Just don’t.” She shook her head at his attempts and felt a smile tugging at her face when she replayed the cheesy line in her head. So maybe she didn’t totally dislike it when it came out of his mouth.

Haneul was already aware of who was taking part in the Battle Royale this year, it was all anybody could talk about at the club and whenever she was there, her fellow workers would ask for her opinion on their routine and so she’s probably watched every single stage that will be coming up soon. The battle seemed to be between Madonna and the Seoul Showstoppers though. She wasn’t too familiar with the latter but has heard of how good they are. She was still rooting for Madonna though because she knew them and how talented they were. They really deserved the win.

“You think so? I kind of had that feel too. Everybody who’s joining seemed to be dancing.” She frowned because she actually did want to take part but it really seemed like she’d be outshined by all the amazing dances that were going to take place. “Maybe I’ll just join next year and by then some people actually sing like me.”

Well, Junkyung starts, turning back to Haneul. He’s not really good at convincing so he doubts he can convince himself otherwise that he can actually forget about this Haneul crush love thing for a second and work in peace. Apparently he forgets the words he wants to reprimand himself for when he catches a glimpse of Haneul’s eyes. Were they sparkling? Why are they so… He blinks, snapping back into reality. For the second time that night, the staff attempts light control check and he swears, if they could stop indirectly contributing to the weird feeling Junkyung’s been feeling in his stomach since Haneul sat down, he would feel a little bit better. And that kind of makes a lot of difference, he hopes.

He seemed to be really interested in the stage setting that was going on for Battle Royale. There seemed to be nothing that striked interesting in her opinion but what does she know. She chuckled a little at his comment on her looks. “But I guess your cheesiness never got much better?” She scrunched up her nose and shuttered a little from his comment. “Thank you really but I’ve gotten wrinkles everywhere from university as well. I think it was a good idea for me to go back to school.” She remembered how upset she was when she had to drop out after she ran away from home up to Seoul. She always longed to go back and was jealous of all the people her age that seemed to have so much fun at school. Thankfully, she’s raised enough money for the past something years she was alone and was able to enroll once again.

She observed his face. “Hmm, there doesn’t seem to be any bags today and you look fine. Although your eyes are a little red.” She giggled. “Internship must be hard but it’ll be all worth it, right?” She wasn’t exactly sure what he was interning as but knowing Junkyung, it was probably something amazing. He was smart judging from their past conversations. He knew more than she did - she blames it on the years that she couldn’t go to school - but she’s positive she’ll be able to catch up to his intelligence but by the time she did, he’d be way ahead of her once more.

“So, Battle Royale. Who do you think is going to win this year? I’m kind of rooting from Madonna because I know those girls and they’re all beautiful girls and talented. But I’m pretty sure the Seoul Showstoppers are a big competition from the rumors. They seem to be really good.” She frowned. “I would have joined this year as well but I didn’t have enough time to prepare a stage.”

Dasom was about to visit her mom today, she hasn’t been to her grave in a while and decided that since it was pretty nice outside, weather that her mom loved, she would go visit her with a bouquet of daisies like every time - daisies were her mother’s favorite. She was walking into the floral shop she always goes to when she bumped into a lady that was walking out. She quickly turned to her and bowed several times, saying sorry over and over again. The lady in front of her had no response but merely stared at her. She was confused, did she know her? “May I help you?” Then she offered a smile just in case there was something she needed.

Haneul shook her head and mentally slapped herself for staring. That’s rude Kim Haneul and you’re going to make things awkward between her… If that really is her. “Oh, I’m terribly sorry. You just look… familiar.” She shuffled through her bag and looked for the letter that she had taken that was for the Dasom girl. She thinks she saw a picture of Hajin and Dasom in the letter but she never got a close look at it. She found the letter and opened it up then observed the picture. She looked up and compared the picture and the girl in front of her. “You’re…. Son Dasom, right?” She handed the girl in front of her the card.

“Kim Hajin. He was my brother. I set out looking for you because this letter and this,” she took out the box with her customized necklace in it, “was what my brother tried to retrieve at his last moments.” She smiled at the girl and hugged her as she saw the tears forming in her eyes. She pat her on the back and smoothed her hair out as the tears kept falling onto her own clothes but it was fine, this was how she felt when he first died as well. She felt that her words were a little harsh though. “It’s not your fault he died though sweetie, I hope my words didn’t make you think that. Everybody has a time when they have to leave the world and Hajin’s was just earlier than what we wanted.” She offered the girl a warm smile then pulled her into a hug once more.

“You must have been really special to him.” She told the girl who looked up to meet her eyes, surprised. “You know, he didn’t tell me one word about you but starting one day, Hajin would just come home so happy and when I asked him what he was smiling about, he said it was a secret. I just thought he had a good day at school but really, it’s impossible for a student to feel good after coming back from school everyday for practically 2 years. You were really something to him Dasom.” She smiled at the girl in front of her again. Dasom was still bawling and hugging the letter and present to her so tightly. She walked up to the counter and asked the lady for a bouquet of forget-me-nots and larkspurs. She thanked the lady and went back to Dasom. “I was going to visit my brother, you want to come along?”

reminiscing hajin } haneul + dasom (pre-chapter 2)

Thu, 07 Jun 2012 13:19:29 -0400

It’s been exactly 7 months since Hajin left the world. It was a tragic day when Kim Haneul’s younger brother was killed in a horrible hit and run accident. She could never forget the sight of her beloved sibling being run over and before she could fully endulge in the event, the car simply went away. It was so close to Christmas too. They were out buying gifts for the family, Hajin wanted to go early because he knew that the lines would be so long if they went only days ahead, and one their way back home, he was hit. She knew she shouldn’t have let him get the one gift that rolled out into the street, it wasn’t even that important - or was it? She didn’t look at it since the day he died. She couldn’t bear to. To think that the object inside that box was the mere thing that caused his death, it hurt. However, Haneul has gotten over it and she has started to learn how to live without her lovely brother. She walked over to the box and the card that was attached to it. She remembered how he was writing in the card at the store and how she punished him for doing so telling him that he could wait until he got home but he said he couldn’t wait. She took a deep breath then opened up the box first and inside it was a lovely necklace that had the initials DS on it with a pink heart next to it. DS? What could that possibly stand for? Confused, Haneul opened the letter that was attached to it.

Dear Dasom. Dasom-ah! It’s almost our two year anniversary ㅋㅋ Remember when I asked you out your freshmen year and my sophomore year last Christmas? My friends made fun of me for dating a underclassmen but I couldn’t resist you. The moment I first saw you, I can’t even describe what happened in my stomach. There were butterflies everywhere and my belly kept doing cartwheels, I couldn’t believe someone as beautiful as you existed. Am I being too cheesy? ㅋㅋ You know that’s who I am, always being cheesy. So to celebrate our two year anniversary and a happy Christmas together, here’s my gift! I had it specially made for you. I have to see you wearing it all the time, arasso? ㅋㅋ I love you Sommie and I hope to spend the rest of my life with you. Merry Christmas and happy two years. Love, Hajin (Your Baby Boo ㅋㅋ)

Haneul was shocked. She didn’t know that her younger brother had a girlfriend, and of two years too.. Why didn’t he ever tell her? And why did she never notice? He always said he was going out with a friend but he never said a girlfriend. Why didn’t he tell her? Did he not want to tell his older sister? Was be too shy? She felt betrayed but at the same time wondering, how would this Dasom girl feel at the moment? Was she informed ever of his death? Maybe she should tell her? But how would she ever find this girl? Then she remember, the letter. He was writing on the envelope too, so an address should be there right? She quickly took the envelope and searched up the address that was there. She grabbed the present and the letter and headed out.

She followed to where the address lead her but it was to a flower shop. Did she have the right place? She went inside and asked the lady at the counter if this was their address and she said it was right. This isn’t a house. She walked back up the counter and asked, “Is there a Dasom here?” The lady looked at her for a moment then as if she thought of something she snapped. “Ah, yes! She’s a frequent guest of our flower shop. She always comes here to get flowers for her mother who passed away.” Haneul nodded and thanked the lady. Why would Hajin write the address to here? Was there a reason he didn’t just put it to her house? As she was walking out she bumped into a young girl who was walking in. “I’m sorry,” Haneul said then she looked up. Could it be her?

Conspiracies || Junkyung & Haneul

establishingarealman:

(….)

True enough, the teen was probably right. The building had an ominous feeling and for a grand event, the venue was oddly peculiar. Uneasy, he took a seat and watched as staff from Haru he remembered seeing ushered people to the seats provided. The event was starting, he ought to go back home considering Hanuel wasn’t here but something was urging him to stay. Moving up closer, he thought that maybe it would be nice if Haneul was here. It seemed like something she would enjoy, but then again, maybe he wouldn’t want her to be here, this place was dripping with secrets and Junkyung’s pretty sure the end results aren’t going to be pretty.

Well, he was only concerned for a pretty young thing like Hanuel.

It would be an understatement to say that she wasn’t slightly anticipating the call. The call from the charming Oh Junkyung, asking her out tonight. The Battle Royale 5 was to be held this night and she decided not to participate in the event this year because she didn’t have enough time to practice and perfect a song that she’s been working on - it would have to wait for the next year. She would just enjoy the night watching her fellow musicians and artists perform while hanging out with Junkyung, yeah, that’s what she’ll do.

Battle Royale was quite a crazy event. She remembered being a part of the huge contest last year, she didn’t win but it was quite an experience. And there’s always a surprise twist to the battle and it always comes and hits you in the back because you’ll never expect it. She couldn’t even remember what it was last year because she had managed to forget the memory. Haneul didn’t think it was exactly a good surprise though, she remembers hearing things of people getting hurt and whatnot. Hopefully, nothing too bad will happen this year.

Haneul slipped into something personally comfortable but looking nice at the same time. She’s sure this is the first time that they’re actually going out on a “date” if that’s what they wanted to call it and she wanted to look nice but knowing about Battle Royale, she expects that she’s going to have to be comfortable sitting down and watching all the people that are performing. She decided on a pair of skinny jeans and a nice big button up collar shirt that she stuffed into her pants and then a pair of her favorite heels. Junkyung towered over her all the time so she decided that she should always wear something high when she went to meet him so that she didn’t have to strain her neck and look too far up. She cursed at herself for not drinking the milk that her mom always set down on the table when she was young. Hajin always did, maybe that’s why he grew to be so much more taller than she ever was.

She arrived at the building in which she knew so well and stepped in, looking around for the familiar boy in which she would be spending her evening with. She caught sight of the man and walked up to him, fixing her hair in the process to make sure she looked decent enough. She tapped him on the shoulder and waved then took a seat next to him. “Long time no see, no?” She didn’t think it was that long ago but really, seconds away from him could feel like years to her. Cheesy, no? She hated being cheesy but really, this was the truth.

voiceless meets voice || Junkyung and Haneul

Fri, 09 Mar 2012 23:33:59 -0500

junkayisalive:

Junkyung figured he shouldn’t bring up all what Sky had just said. It seemed like a painful memory in her eyes. Accident, her parents, why was she so comfortable to tell him all this despite just meeting an hour ago? Still, he felt at ease with her words. He liked the soft feeling when someone trusted him. Finally, after all those years, after reconciling from someone who stubbornly hated the world to a gentleman. Still, her words pierced him, especially when she mentioned the accident? Had she done something wrong? Who could possibly cause her this much pain that she had to hold back her tears (Yes, Junkyung could see that so very well.) Knowing it wasn’t time for her to yet reveal her past, he listened and hung to her every word. In time, she would and Junkyung didn’t need to worry.

Slightly embarrassed, Junkyung was able to break from his train of thought and restrain himself from smiling. “You can keep it then. Just think of it as a gift from your fan.” He said, a visible blush creeping up his cheeks as he stopped at the foot of the stairs. Fast in jumping to conclusions, Junkyung sighed. Walking her home was probably a one time chance, if he wanted to see her more he would have to stop by the club but that wouldn’t be anytime soon since school has been so demanding lately. No wonder people dropped from University so easily, but there was no chance he could give it up. Giving up meant that all his efforts to prove his past friends were in vain. He had no choice, he would have to see her less fre— “Haneul. Kim Haneul. That’s my real name.”

“That’s gorgeous. Haneul.” he said without thinking, such a short and sweet name to fit such a young beauty like her. After a while, he pulled out a card and passed it to Haneul. “This is my number. You can give it a call or a message if you want me to take you back home again.”

When Haneul entered her house and just as Junkyung returned to the junction before with the coldness immediately creeping up his only layer of clothes, Junkyung felt like a complete idiot. Sky was Haneul in English. Of course. Could he have gotten any stupid than this?

She wasn’t too sure if she was making him uncomfortable or not so she just cleared her throat. “Oh, sorry. I have a tendency to just go on and on and drag on about something once I start talking about it.” She let out a nervous laugh and everything died out to a silence. Maybe she opened up to him too quickly. She could have easily scared him with her total honesty, she didn’t want to do that to him. He made her feel safe and it felt like she had a shoulder to lean on now although she’s only talked to the guy for an hour. There was that feeling, what was the feeling? Haneul wasn’t too sure how to describe it but she knew for one thing that it was a good feeling, she liked it. It made her smile.

She tugged at the jacket a little closer. “Oh really? But I couldn’t. I’ll be sure to dry clean it and return it to you, I’ll promise you that.” She didn’t want to keep the jacket just because she kind of wanted another opportunity to meet him again, she’s got to come up with some excuse. She blushed slightly at his compliment on her name and giggled like a little child. “Thank you Junkyung-ssi.” She was about to step into her apartment when he handed her a card. Oh, his number. She smiled at him and took the card and bowed. “Oh! Wait here just a second.” She went into her apartment and took a sticky and scribbled her number onto it. She stepped back outside and handed him the sticky. “I don’t carry around cards with my number on it so here. We should meet up some other time. And I’ll be sure to call you if I feel lonely walking home again.” She smiled again and thanked him then walked into her apartment.

Fri, 09 Mar 2012 20:49:10 -0500

junkayisalive:

Junkyung laughed, eyes still onto the floor. “I guess you can say that then.” Bringing a hand up to rub his nose, he glanced at Sky. Was she freezing? Junkyung observed her a little longer, it was hard to spot her goosebumps under the poor light but when he brought his eyes up to her lips, it was shivering and blue. He thought about shedding his jacket for her but somehow he felt awkward.

“So what brought you to start off with a club? Out of all places. You could have gone for an audition, I’m sure you’re still eligible for those.” Junkyung couldn’t imagine if it was her dream to sing in a club, where all the drunks never took note of her sweet humming. If Junkyung had to count, he — and along with the sober employees in Haru — was the only one who actually appreciated her on the platform they called a stage. It wasn’t even at least nice-looking to be called a stage. If it wasn’t close to midnight, he would bring her to an agency right now.

Still walking, Junkyung wondered when they would reach her house. Gulping down the weird emotions, he shrugged off his jacket and wrapped it around her. “Here.” His hands lingered on her shoulder longer than it should be and when he drew them back, he felt something within melting. It was a painful feeling at first but as it got warmer inside, it felt like cool water to a burning bruise. Falling into curious thought, Junkyung stared at Sky as if searching for the answer in her. What was this feeling?

Haneul smiled and clapped in joy. “I’m special.” She giggled like a child and looked down on the floor and stuffed her hands into her pockets. It’s been a while since she’s laughed so freely. He helped her feel special, and she liked the feeling she got when he was with her, she seemed comfortable.

She looked up at the sky and pondered for a second, why did she end up at a club again? Oh right. Her parents. “If I tried out for some big agency then there’d be a greater chance of my parents finding out and figuring out where I live. You see, I ran away from home to pursue my dream of being an artist but I was too scared to do any job larger than working at Haru. It’s safer there for me.” She let out a sigh and saw the white huff of breath come out of her mouth. “I’d love to join some big entertainment company but I want to keep in secrecy of my parents, I don’t want to see them yet after… the accident.” She forced back tears as thoughts of Hajin came back up and forced a smile on her face. “I’m fine though. I’m sure I can forgive my parents soon enough for me to stand on a bigger stage.. hopefully.”

Turning the corner, Haneul caught sight of her apartment. She was still shivering when she felt a jacket wrap around her shoulder and his hands on one. She whispered a slight thank you and instantly warmed up a bit. “Ah, but we’re almost here, I’ll be inside real soon.” They climbed up the stairs of the apartment building and came to a stop in front of her door. “Thank you for walking me home, it was really nice talking to you.” She was about to walk into her home when a thought stopped her. “Haneul. Kim Haneul. That’s my real name.”
