@melloreturn​ | “don’t take this the wrong way, but you don’t exactly blend in.” ( from melloreturn for…anyone who wants to meet alfred?? ) more random dialogue prompts
---
It wouldn’t take much to make that assessment but for once Patrick doesn’t mind getting to hear it.
He prefers blending in, that’s the routinised way he approaches life, it’s just easier to disappear in a crowd or act so nondescript to completely vanish out of the general public’s perception. But it’s also... brutally unrealistic.
Appearing bored yet confident enough to not look out of place, to not look as though he has no idea how to behave in a foreign coffeehouse, it would be as strong of a spot as running around the place yelling old-forgotten song lyrics at the top of his lungs. Sometimes, at least. Sometimes people are more trained to pick out the mundane and memorise that, than they are likely to pay attention to the very eccentric.
That and Patrick walked in and sat down perhaps a tad too confidently, as if he’d been here before, as if he’d been visiting this place all his life. A little foolish there, that’s not how con-artistry works, making an unlikely scenario likely doesn’t work if circumstances don’t work in your favour.
The bags under his eyes and the debris dust on his clothes don’t help, either.
Patrick drops his gaze from the barista’s and snorts out a little puff of air over the coffee he’d ordered, aimlessly turning the cup in his hands as if he seems to have next to no intention in actually taking it to a table and drinking it.
He straightens his back with a sigh, drops his elbows on the counter, and his face into his awaiting hands. Well, whatever. “Neither do you, now,” he offers, pushing against one of his cheeks to tilt his head slightly to that side. Corners of his lips lift slightly, slowly, as if... well... whoops, who cares?
He frees his left hand to point at Alfred’s. “You’ve got some rough hands, there. I take it you haven’t been a barista all your life? Unless I’m assuming the job to be less taxing than it is. My mistake, in that case.”

“i guess crime really does pay.” ( from….alfred 🤩 aka @melloreturn )
    taiyang watches alfred count dollar bills between his palms, feeling a stylistic appreciation that perhaps borders on . . . envy . alfred has a sense of swagger about him ; it comes naturally, chips off his shoulder in waves of smooth easiness . . . taiyang wonders if this is what everyone sees when they look at his father; a man captivating enough to be forgiven for what would be perceived as transgressions in others ; someone who makes ' bad decisions ' look good. he wonders if he would have liked his father ( like he likes alfred ) in another life. in a universe where taiyang wasn't his son, but his friend. it’s so different when the so-charming 'faults' are inside your home, the one place you expect to be safe . . . the silent query colors his response, a somewhat strained joke ;
Tumblr media
  “ yeah, it does ... but I think I like you better in your day job. don't quit— nobody makes a green tea like you. ” ( he hopes alfred stays different. a better man than the one he knew. )

♔ ———–​
  “Are you looking for Patrick?” 
  Hyuk’s back in Europe for a few days, visiting his dear friend after a long time of relying on the phone to communicate. Even though he cannot stay for long (he just started working for the Gangnam Police and also decided to continue his studies by joining a postgraduate program, though he’s on a break from that), he still takes any droplet of time he can to spend it with his best friend. 
   Awkwardness in posture, a hand moves to cover part of the bandages stuck on his forehead with his hair. Even if he’s careless about what might people say about him or his rather rowdy attitude, he’s not exactly dealing with just a random someone at the moment. This is a person Patrick considers precious, a person who brings his dear friend happiness in ways that Hyuk is very grateful for. So, in that sense, let’s just say that...well...her opinion matters. 
   Felicity. Patrick’s sun. 
  Hyuk then realizes that his hand is also bandaged; knuckles covered by gauze that Patrick recovered from a drawer last night. He clears his throat; limb stiffly falling to his side, letting fingers slide into the loose pocket of his shirt. 
  “He’s...not here right now. But he said he’ll be back soon...if you, uh, want to wait for him.”

"She's beautiful. I know," those words stir, dragged rough in contrast to the plinking chimes. Its owner lumbers yet hidden. Still, it's rather clear, here in this hazy shop with its crowded shelves of medicines, what that waned, dragging voice had undoubtedly meant: the lotus flower, there, fragrantly dried upon the storefront panes. Pink. White. Nestled neatly like arms at hug... The beaded curtain at the back clacks, and a head peers out with that mysterious voice. Ah. He blinks. That bracelet-- "But it’s lived enough lifetimes, so it's my tea, now. Besides--” the symbolism, its poetry-- “you don't need it."
@melloreturn, ♡’d.

@melloreturn​ | “is that seriously your password?” ( nell for…seok-ju maybe?? but also feel free to skip any if all of these lena!! 🥰🥰🥰 ) more random dialogue prompts 
---
Two could be their reactions: one, he was so utterly relieved their laptop was working again at least well enough to even request a password; two, they’d be completely and utterly mortified by having to explain himself as he is about to.
With a sheepish smile and vaguely embarrassed gesticulating at nothing but perhaps air and the words he’s gathering in their mind, anything that might be slightly useful to properly explaining themself.
There are none.
He feels as though he can still see the imprints of their shame hovering over the keys Nell had to press to insert his password.
Their gesticulating comes to halt at the loss of hope now instead exhibited by their sinking arms. The keys typing out the syllables for ‘Jung Ji-hoon Rain Oppa’ seem to glow faintly, mocking them for his faith.
He buries their face in his hands. “Please believe me when I say it was my niece. I know it sounds like I’m making up excuses but it was her please believe me.”

@ofgentleresolve ♚ smol starter call
♔ ———–​
    Waking up at ungodly hours of the night isn’t new to him anymore. Sometimes his body decides to shut down against stubborn wishes to stay awake; leading him to forceful slumber. Periods of snoozing do not last long, more like cat naps or the so-called forty winks, where he wakes up mildly disoriented and alone. They’re even shorter when nightmares attack drowsy cobwebs, much like this time around. 
Tumblr media
   As eyes slowly open to recognize his surroundings, he finds his hands tightly latched to the armrests of living room’s sofa; heart pulsing wildly against his neck. At least he didn’t wake up jumping off his seat or with lungs pleading for air; his return to reality being lighter than some past experiences. Still, he doesn’t know if that’s a good thing, for he’s able to remember the night terrors crawling about, no matter the defenses his body has built as to repel intemperate reactions. 
   Night terrors that were once a vivid image of his youth.    The blood, the red staining his hands, the thought of him being the culprit---    He sighs; sits upright.     There’s a thin curtain of sweat on his forehead. 
   A hand gets unglued from armrest; palm pressed on his cheek. It’s warm. Too warm. He even feels dizzy. 
    He doesn’t want to think about that anymore.     About the day his mother passed away.      About the time he found her in a nest of crimson. 
    Taking a deep breath, he grabs a tissue (his handkerchief is saved in his room; he remembers putting it on the nightstand after changing to his pajama pants) from the box nearby to dab the sweat away, looking at the digital clock sitting upon table. It’s three in the morning. That’d mean it’s seven in the evening in London. It’s not an indecent hour to call someone, is it?
    He just...wants to hear his voice.      No run around the park or random television show; no song on a playlist or idea for a painting is as calming as his voice. His presence. His energy. Patrick’s. 
    A hand reaches for his cellphone.      He dials a number he’s memorized by heart.      One ring, two rings...three...the call connects. 
   “Patrick, I...hi.” 
    Voice sounds a little deeper than usual; raspier.      He closes his eyes, tries to remember what Patrick has told him.      ‘I don’t mind it, really. I like it when you call.’      There’s sudden warmth flooding his stomach.
   “Are you...busy?”

MBTI SUMMARY.
Tumblr media
INTJ / THE ARCHITECT
It can be lonely at the top. As one of the rarest personality types – and one of the most capable – Architects (INTJs) know this all too well. Rational and quick-witted, Architects pride themselves on their ability to think for themselves, not to mention their uncanny knack for seeing right through phoniness and hypocrisy. But because their minds are never at rest, Architects may struggle to find people who can keep up with their nonstop analysis of everything around them.
Architects question everything. Many personality types trust the status quo, relying on conventional wisdom and other people’s expertise to guide their lives. But ever-skeptical Architects prefer to make their own discoveries. In their quest to find better ways of doing things, they aren’t afraid to break the rules or risk disapproval – in fact, they rather enjoy it.
They bring a single-minded drive to their work, applying the full force of their insight, logic, and willpower. And heaven help anyone who tries to slow them down by enforcing pointless rules or offering poorly thought-out criticism.
This personality type comes with a strong independent streak. Architects don’t mind acting alone, perhaps because they don’t like waiting around for others to catch up with them. They also generally prefer making decisions without asking for anyone else’s input. At times, this lone-wolf behavior can come across as insensitive, as it fails to take into consideration other people’s thoughts, desires, and plans.
Architects can be single-minded, with little patience for frivolity, distractions, or idle gossip. That said, they’re far from dull or humorless. Many Architects are known for their irreverent wit, and beneath their serious exteriors, they often have a sharp, delightfully sarcastic sense of humor.
It would be a mistake, however, to view Architects as uncaring. Whatever the stereotypes about their stoic intellect, these personalities feel deeply. When things go wrong or when they hurt others, Architects are personally affected and spend much time and energy trying to figure out why things happened the way that they did. They may not always value emotion as a decision-making tool, but they are authentically human.
Because Architects value truth and depth, many common social practices – from small talk to white lies – may seem pointless or downright stupid to them. As a result, they may inadvertently come across as rude or even offensive when they’re only trying to be honest.
Architects are full of contradictions. They are imaginative yet decisive, ambitious yet private, and curious yet focused. From the outside, these contradictions may seem baffling, but they make perfect sense once you understand the inner workings of the Architect mind.
