새벽을 깨우듯 비가 내려 : @consilian

IT’S SO ABNORMAL FOR HIS BEST FRIEND to be as quiet as she is, and Jihon isn’t entirely sure what might be responsible for this sudden shift in her behavior, but they are best friends for a reason and the male would much rather stay by her side and offer distraction or comfort, if possible, rather than letting her be all by herself, even though he knows she doesn’t enjoy letting other people in on what bothers her.

A part of him can understand that, for it’s a dangerous thing, to bare your soul to someone else and hope they won’t take that information to break you into pieces later on, but he’s seen far worse in the past, as has she. If anything, he believes this will only strengthen their friendship. “Hey, you called. I couldn’t possibly say no to you, could I?”

When he speaks, his tone is light and carefree which might imply that he isn’t entirely serious, but Jihon does mean what he says: Flora is his best friend, a woman he trusts with far more secrets and things than he does his own family, and considering that Jihon thinks highly of the people who have raised him, it should say quite a lot on this matter. Because of this reason in particular, he finds himself unable to deny Flora something, especially when he knows there’s usually so little she asks for, anyway.

“Listen, I’m here now, so what can I do?” Running a hand through lightcolored hair, the male couldn’t help but bite down on his lower lip anxiously. Whatever it was that had bothered the older female enough to request his presence, he knew it must be something heavy since she tended to keep most things to herself and wouldn’t go out of her way to call him, if it wasn’t something that she felt might be overwhelming her. To others, the assumption might sound obnoxious but Jihon knew Flora for so many years that, at this point in time, he was sure he could read her like an open book.

“A movie? Do I get to take you out for food? The park? Animal shelter? I’m all yours for the rest of the day, so just name what you need me to do.”

             ⊰ ✿ ⊱  — She’s breathless without a reason to be ; gaping slightly in words that she COULDN’T let spew out of cold lips. Though she tries to hide it. ( failing in the process. ) the was a pause in her timeline, burning taking over and leaving her weak in the middle of drought. Oh god how she’d wished her father was there to come to her aid ; remind her that it wasn’t some unworldliness that she held in the palm on her hand.  —— Yet every time such a thing came into her mind where she wished for family, she’d be reminded of the fact that she has family, Jihon was her family now. But it wasn’t as though she had much of blood related family to fall back on in the first place. Merely only her and her farther til he passed : a rather large QUESTION MARK hovering over her like a distinctive glow she couldn’t remove. 

              ❛ I know, i know i just —— ❜  she tries to smile ( not like he could see ) it’s as painless as she could be but her eyes are burning, snot threatening to fall down her face from her nose and even flora knows she looked like a mess, a broken woman out of war.   ❛ thank you. i don’t know where i’d be…. ❜ she leaves words short, yet the ‘ without you ‘ is easy to find in all context even through her hoarse voice breaking half way. It’s almost bittersweet : calved into a mess of grounds, broken shards moving together to become a dance of fright and in this case, flora didn’t know how to dance. 

              Chest is grieving for all that has desisted throughout her times ; hours lost through waves of a storm PAINFULLY attained through delight’s chime of a song. Honeyed spirits slipping from angels breath without stopping. ( god why did you let me fall this way ? farther used to say the world wouldn’t give me anything that i couldn’t handle yet here we are and i’m struggling to hold on to something where there’s nothing there. )

                    There’s hair covering her face til now, face covered by a book she was reading. ( even though she’d been looking blankly at the same two pages for the past few minutes. ) ❛ can we just go and get some green tea and —— ❜ Hands shuffle under her face to wipe any source of what was once badly hidden tears, eyes still will a little redness but still she feels the tug of her lips showing off a tiny smile at his words, meeting his eyes finally. ❛ you can tell me about the weather or something and then maybe we can go visit the animals at the animal shelter. ❜
