January 18, 2023
Evie is excited because Chan Hee had asked her if they could meet up and she’s really missed his company recently. He told her to dress up a bit fancier than normal and she very happily did. She had asked if a dress would be fine and the older boy very happily told her yes. She got dressed and curled her long blonde hair. Once that was done she decided to do her makeup, her dogs not leaving her side. She was for some reason nervous, what if she was underdressed for the first time in her life, or even more overdressed than normal. She just wanted to look nice for Chan Hee, I mean she did have a crush on him. Chan Hee called her while she was getting ready. She didn’t want to look desperate so she let it ring a few times before answering and smiling big as she did.
“Did you want me to pick you up?” He asked her, a smile clearly on his face by the tone in his voice.
She smiles and teases him gently as she speaks. “Why of course I do, isn’t that how we always meet up anymore oppa?~”
“Then we will be on the way soon. Make sure you’re ready, my beautiful princess.”
With that he hangs up and she can’t help but feel her cheeks flush at him calling her princess. She finishes getting ready putting her boots on and quickly rushes out the door with an oversized trench coat, a bucket hat, and sunglasses on. She didn’t want it to be noticeable that she was wearing anything fancy, let alone an outfit people would assume is a date night outfit, I mean she’s just meeting up with a close friend right? Once she walks outside of her apartment room she gets a message from Chan Hee that they will be there shortly. She takes a deep breath and walks out of the building, rushing to him when she sees them. They exchange a quick hug, like normal before he helps her inside the vehicle. He smiles at her as he begins to drive off.
She chuckles a bit before saying, “You look excited.”
“Well yeah, I’m with you, I’m always excited with you.” His smile is the biggest it’s ever been and he pauses for a moment then shrugs and speaks again. “You make life more enjoyable. I like your company.”
His words cause her to blush slightly. “I also enjoy your company, Chan Hee.”
“Well I’m glad because I don’t plan on going anywhere.”
She giggles and lays her head on his shoulder for a moment before they drive off in silence for the rest of the ride. She stares out the window and takes a deep breath, suddenly she’s nervous. They get to a restaurant that the two are very familiar with, and once again Chan Hee helps her, and he offers his arm to her, she takes it with a soft smile. This treatment isn’t normal from him but it’s nice, she enjoys it. She stares up at him with a loving look, he’s really cute, his hair looks really nice to her and she wants to run her hand through it.
“You look handsome.~” She cooes softly at him as they walk through the door.
Chan Hee’s cheeks flush slightly. “Thank you, that means the world to me, especially coming from a literal Goddess like yourself.” He says gently back, this time it’s her turn to get flushed.
Once they enter the restaurant they head to where they always sat where it was relatively private and you can’t see it from the door. She takes off her coat and hat, leaving only her sunglasses and mask. Chan Hee couldn’t help but stare at her with borderline hearts in his gaze. He just kept whispering “stunning” or “seriously, stunning” under his breath when he looked at her. Evie felt like a fairy princess in her outfit, and at that moment she just really wanted Chan Hee to be her prince. He gently takes off her sunglasses and tucks her hair behind her ear.
“You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve set eyes on Evelyn.” Chan Hee says softly, hugging her.
“Awe, thank you! You’re a sweetheart.” Evie says with a smile.
A waitress comes back. “I assume you guys want your regular meals?” she asks gently. The two idols nodded and said “yes please” and the waitress walked off again leaving them alone again.
“What have you been up to Oppa? It’s been a while since we last spoke like this.”
Chan Hee’s tone is gentle and full of love. “I’ve been dreaming about you, Evelyn.”
Evie smiles, “Hey, is this like a date or something?” she asks curiously.
Chan Hee looks over at her and tilts his head. “Yeah, I guess it is, is that okay with you?”
“Of course it is, I wouldn’t want it to be with anyone else.” She beams, staring over at Chan Hee. “Is there more planned?”
“That, my dearest, is a surprise!”
“Awe, come on, you know I hate waiting.”
Chan Hee very gently grabs her hand in his before speaking in that same gentle tone as before. “I promise you it’ll be well worth the wait.”
Evie shakes her head and the waitress comes back with their drinks gently placing them on the table. “5 more minutes.” The two idols nod knowing the drill by now.
Once the waitress walks away again Chan Hee speaks again, “You know, blue has always been such a flattering color on you, Evs.” he says, tucking another strand of hair behind her ear again.
She looks down at her outfit and smiles remembering she’s wearing one of her favorite date night dresses. “Why thank you, it’s one of my favorite dresses.” She says with a big smile on her face.
He stands up and gently grabs her hand and guides her to do a spin. She giggles as she does two full spins for him, she always loves the way this dress twirls with her. He pulls her seat out and she sits back down and next thing they know their food is here. They happily eat and do their normal catching up with a bit more of a flirty tone than usual and Evie is clearly happy and Chan Hee is glad he could make her smile, after the time she’s been having recently. After they eat and pay for everything Chan Hee helps Evie put her coat back on and she’s nothing but smiles the entire time, she’s having a great time with her..boyfriend…?
Chan Hee and Evie climb into the car and go for a short drive, it’s very cold but he still wants to stargaze with her, he knows that’s one of her favorite date activities and he doesn’t know when the next time he can take her out will be so he wants to do it now. They drive to one of Evie’s favorite parks and her face lights up like a kid in a candy store.
“Chan Hee! You didn’t have to take us here! It’s so cold. We can just go home, today was already so great!” Evie says to him truthfully.
“Ah, but what if I want to do this for myself too, darling?”
Evie blushes. “Fiiine, but if my legs get cold what will we do.” she pouts rubbing her already semi chilled legs.
“I have a spare blanket and if that isn’t warm enough you can also always have my jacket okay?”
“Okay Chan Hee. Let’s go then.”
They get out of the car and head to Evie’s favorite tree. When they get there Chan Hee lays out a blanket before he has her sit down and they stare at the stars. They laugh and talk about everything and nothing while stargazing, this is something Evie has been wanting to do for a very long time and she can’t help but love every moment she is having with Chan Hee. She lays her head on his shoulder and he wraps an arm around her shoulders.
“I think I found my favorite star, and it shines the brightest at night.”
Evie tilts her head and looks up at him. “Which star is it, oppa?”
Chan Hee grabs a mirror and gently holds it out in front of Evie with a cheeky smile. “Right there.”
Evie gets extremely flustered to the point she covers her face in the blanket that she had over her legs causing Chan Hee to chuckle lightly. “I thought you’d like that one.” he says to her teasingly. “You like really cheesy things right?”
“Ya!” she threw the blanket toward him causing him to chuckle more, she also starts giggling as well. “Tonight was amazing Chan Hee.”
“Good, I’m glad. You deserve a nice night for a change.” he then clears his throat. “A nice date too.”
“You’re right Chan Hee, this was a lovely date.” She says as she sort of leans on him more, feeling the cold to her bones even with a blanket and a big trench coat.
They sit like that in silence for a few moments just staring up at the stars as it starts to snow and the two end up sort of cuddling as it does. Evie feels really safe here with Chan Hee, it’s been such a long time since she’s felt this safe with a male that was outside of her group, in fact she stopped her casually dating because of her fear of men, so this was a huge step for her. Cuddling with her close friend, who may also soon be someone she’d consider her boyfriend.
“We can go home whenever you start getting too cold.” Chan Hee says while hugging her sort of close to him.
“Five more minutes?” She asks needily. He smiles big and nuzzles his face into her neck a bit.
“Five more minutes then I have to take you home okay?”
“Can you stay tonight?” the sudden urgency and fear in her tone shocks Chan Hee a bit.
“You know what? Yeah. I can. I’ll stay tonight. You don’t deserve to be alone.” Chan Hee is clearly breaking a rule here and making a stand. Evie needs him so he’s going to be there for her, as always.
“I know you aren’t even supposed to be hanging out with me anymore after rumors and stuff but… I feel safe… with you… you know…?”
“I get it, if they ask where I was I will say a family member needed me, they aren’t afraid to lie on my behalf.”
“Are you sure? I don’t want you in trouble..”
Chan Hee gently takes her hands in his again. “I won’t get in trouble Evs, I promise. This can’t become a habit though.”
Evie nods, “understood.” she says with a happy smile.
“Come on now cutie, let's get out of this snow.” Chan Hee says with a slight shiver. “I’m freezing.”
They quickly grab their things and rush to the car, Chan Hee helps her into her seat before putting everything away and climbing into the car himself. “You have a spare phone charger?”
“Naturally.”
“Thank you Evs, I hope you had fun.”
“This was the best date ever Chan Hee.” She says kissing his cheek causes his cheeks to turn bright red.
“So will there be another one?” he asks, raising an eyebrow.
“Obviously.” Evie giggles.
They go back to her apartment and are greeted by her dogs excitedly waiting for their mother’s return. She asks Chan Hee to walk them while she gets into some pjs and he agrees. When she’s done she starts to heat up some water for hot chocolate and starts to remove her makeup. When Chan Hee comes back to her apartment she’s got half her makeup off and he smiles at her.
“You’re so beautiful.”
“Nah, mate, I look a whole mess right now.” She says laughing before going back to making them hot chocolate and sitting on the couch.
They finish the night with a movie and Evie ends up falling asleep laying on him with her head in his lap on the couch so when the movie is finally off he very gently and carefully carries her to her bed and tucks her in. He softly kisses her head and tucked her in and he helped both her dogs into her bed knowing she enjoyed sleeping with them. He also gave her a plushie, one which he had forgotten to give her til that moment, he hugged it a bit to make it smell like him and then he left the room, leaving the door slightly cracked. He goes to her spare closest in the hall and grabs a spare blanket and pillow before he goes and lays on the couch, quickly falling asleep.

Sometimes it's easier to think about the hurt, than the joy.
In other words, here's another story about the Isle
'Til you let it out (and let it in)
There’s something people don’t really talk about on the Isle, and they certainly don’t talk about it once they're off. It’s an open secret really.
Everyone knows that the Isle isn’t a good place. That it is filled with the worst of humanity, and then some of the worst creatures. So it shouldn’t come as a shock that they abuse their children. They beat, manipulate, scar, and do far worse to their own flesh and blood.
This is why, when you get a knock on your door and you see a friend, family, ally, or even just someone you know standing there, the desperate look in their eyes that mimics the same look you’ve had before, you let them in. Now it doesn’t mean you have to treat them well, just give them a space to hide for the night. This wasn’t free of cost of course, but it was a shelter.
So when Mal and Jay tangled their legs together, shivering from the cold in a drafty castle. It wasn’t unusual. Most either knew or could infer about Jay’s home life and no one dared to speak about Mal’s. A perfect partnership, hiding the other from the sins they could only hide from for a few hours.
It wasn’t abnormal to see Carlos climbing into Evie’s window, blood staining his hands, desperate to hide just for a night where she wouldn’t look. Evie helping him, desperate to talk to someone, anyone, other than her mother. They would sit side by side underneath the window. And when the sun rose, she helped him out of it, knowing the next time they would meet, it would be just like this.
When the storms or memories were particularly bad, that’s when you would find CJ sitting by one of her siblings beds. They understand, having needed to find the other before, and just curl together or walk around. No words needing to be said, no direct actions to be taken. Only peace. Only the other needed.
When he forgets again, perhaps just about her, is when Freddie finds herself standing in a shoppe or in front of a ship. Uma will know she’s there, they always know when the other is near. Sometimes Freddie would help clean or run the shoppe, other times they would just sit on the edge of the docks, staring into the darkness, wondering if in a different life they could have been the other one.
When Anthony opens the door and sees a young girl, with curly black hair and the faintest tinge of red in her eyes, he lets her in. Never saying a word to anyone that she was there, just hides her in a crevice in the back of the salon. Gives her the smallest amount of food he can afford to lose, who knows when the last time she had eaten was. Anthony knows better than to let this secret out, but he’s held secrets for the Hooks for years now. He knows better than to spill just one.
So yes, just about everyone on the Isle knows this. They know better than to refuse to help. People remember stuff like that. So when it’s you running, there just might not be a place to hide.
