Two people entered the room, only one came out. Mostly because he was passed out drunk on the floor, but that's irrelevant because people assumed that Danny had beaten him up either way. He was, after all, the only one who left the room, and everyone had at least a healthy amount of fear for the strange and mysterious boy.
He had come out of nowhere one day and just stuck around. He was also insanely strong and fast, and could probably beat two thousand people all at once if he wanted to. On his first day, he had broken up a fight between Vin Jin, Zack Lee, and Vasco, like it was nothing, and left all of them passed out on the floor when they tried to retaliate. The boy also kept mostly to himself ever since he had joined the Visual Art department, but rumor went that he worked at a tattoo parlor by night and dealt with all kinds of crazy delinquents and mob bosses.
And now, Logan had entered the same room as him, and he hadn't come out. Not that anyone would miss him, of course! The arrogant bastard liked to throw his weight around and act like he was the shit, despite the fact that everyone knew that Daniel Park was, in fact, the true tip of the pyramid when it came to both strength and intellect.
Well, Jace had a theory about 'The Silent King', as the students at J High had begun to secretly call him.
"I don't know bro," One of the guys in the Architecture Department scratch his head and looked at the spiderweb of red string that connected numerous blurry shots of the boy and various notes scribbled in pink glitter pen and neon green highlighter.
Jace looked at him baffled, eyes bloodshot from lack of sleep, hair sticking in every direction, and clothes crumbled. There were deep purple bags hanging under his eyes and the look on his face made the guy slowly back up and hide behind Vasco. The latter was eyeing the various sticky notes covering the entire wall, surrounding a large picture of Daniel's face from his student ID with a growing amount of worry. Finally, he turned back to look at his best friend with the same expression.
"Jace," he began gently," when was the last time you had any sleep?"
"SLEEP?"
His sudden shout made Euntae unintentionally flinch back and cover their cowering classmates behind his bulky frame. Never before had he seen his friend act like this. In a moment of panic, he ambled forward and decked the raving big-eared boy over the head, before catching his limp form in his arms.
"I-uh..."
"You should take him to the infirmary! Maybe a nap would do him some good." Someone piped up from the back.
Vasco nodded furiously before slinging Jace's unconscious form over his shoulder and leaving the classroom, much to the relief of his terrified crew. Jace slept the day in the infirmary and when it came time to leave his friend took him back to his house without too much fuss.
Later on in the evening, after he had finally finished cleaning the classroom, someone passed by the Architecture Department and caught sight of the state of the wall at the back of the second year's classroom. He paused, silently pushing the door open and stepping into the deserted room. Black eyes wandered over the huge read web connecting all of the information together, taking the time to read each and every note and analyze every single picture with great interest.
Danny closed the door behind him and let out a low chuckle before leaving the school. The large picture of him in the middle of the red string fell off the wall and onto the floor. The words 'Time-Traveler' were written in pink glittery ink on its bottom corner.
I saw that you wrote a drabble on my ask and I loved it. It was so well written and Taehoon's personality really carried through.
I do have another idea for a time loop and it does involve Taehoon again, but also with Johan and Daniel.
It would probably take place at about the end of the God Dog arc where Johan is abandoned and fighting Gun.
Little Daniel is there (but y'know, like tall, buff , post training, etc.) and he's seen Johan at the taekwondojang here and there and he knows that Taehoon has mentally adopted Johan. So he subtly makes a call during the fight.
Just as Gun is about to knock Johan and Zack down after Zack shows up to help, Gun gets kicked in the face. Again.
After this, I guess the 2 of them would fight and Yeonwoo, and Dowoon (who tagged along to see who the guys who's been flirting with fighting Taehoon is) and they take Johan to the van. Johan gets promptly adopted by Seong Hansoo.
Meanwhile, everyone wants to know who this pretty gremlin is who's fighting Gun and has Gun smiling. even thoguh he's scolding him. - especially when he finds out about Johan's situation
Vasco : Johan's brother is still flirting with his boyfriend. Who knew Johan had a brother?
Zach :*confused*
Daniel : grinning because he's about to cause mayhem
Jiksae : filming in the background
Well, this also turned out a bit long haha.
Achievement Unlocked!
Child Acquired!
Hansoo looked down upon the two similar boys, one of which was his, and resisted the urge to pinch the smaller's cheeks. That was a feat in of itself, since Johan still retained a small portion of his baby fat, making his cheeks look extra-pinchable.
That was it, he was adopting him. And if he came with an adorable dog, who was he to separate them?!
Johan fit seamlessly into their little family. He was baby, after all, and both Taehoon and Hansoo adored him. They never really stopped babying him, but knew he had his own life and let him do his own thing most of the time. All in all, things were peaceful.
Then came the phone call.
Tae was hanging out with 'daddy issues #1' and 'daddy issues #2' when his phone began ringing incessantly. Annoyed, and having half the mind to just tell the person on the other side to fuck off he picked up.
"Taehoon" Danny's hurried tone sounded through the speaker before the brown-haired boy could even open his mouth, "Uh, you need to come here. Johan's in trouble!"
No other words were needed, Tae hung up and began sprinting toward the location of his brother's phone. That had been one of the conditions of letting him continue on with God Dog, that he would keep his location visible to them at all times and call if he needed help. The last part was near impossible for the proud boy, which is why both he and his father had insisted on the location bit.
The taekwondo prodigy skidded to a stop before the scene that greeted him, Yeonwoo and Dowoon panting a little behind him. His eyes zeroed in on Johan's fallen body laying on the bloodied concrete, before shifting onto the man looking down upon him with his hands in his pockets.
"Oh no, you don't!" He mumbled, rushing towards him.
Gun felt a sudden sense of dread wash over him before his face made contact with the asphalt, hard. Deja vu was one of the only things registering in his mind before he got his bearings back. He turned to look at the attacker, a large smirk stretching on his lips as he caught sight of the familiar mop of brown hair.
"Taehoon~" He practically purred, dodging an incoming kick.
"Satan's secret lovechild." The boy replied deadpan, socking him in the face.
"It's so nice to see you again."
"Can't say the same." His tone didn't change despite Gun's sultry voice.
The two continued exchanging hits while the others watched. It didn't look like they were going to be slowing down anytime soon, so they were content with just watching the show. Yeonwoo and Dowoon in particular were egging them on while simultaneously fighting over ship names. Daniel was nursing the two childhood friends' wounds the best he could while sneaking glances at the two fighters. He didn't want to miss anything important, but Zack and Johan were still bleeding and he had to deal with them first. Nonetheless, he secretly joined Dowoon and Yeonwoo in cheering for the brunette once the two began showing signs of waking up.
"Gunhoon!"
"Taegun!"
"Gunhoon!"
"Taegoon!"
"What the hell is going on?"
They paused their bickering turning to the now-awake dog-lover and gave him a shrug before resuming their conversation.
"They're fighting over ship names," Danny informed him, slipping over to check on the still-sleeping boxer before facing Johan again. "You might as well get comfortable. Something tells me they're going to be at it for a while."
The boy nodded dumbfounded, before leaning back down next to Zack. He was out like a light, causing Danny to coo and take pictures of him sleeping. He was sure Taehoon was going to thank him for them later, and it would probably be enough to bribe him to go easier on him during training. Daniel could only hope.
After a terrible natural disaster most of the pyramids of the world have been destroyed. Scientists are shocked by this, but even more shocking is that, after archeologists investigate the sites they discover beneath the rubble multipe chambers. They are sealed with what appers to be molted iron, each adorned with a different symbol. One has a dragon, another a thunderbird, and a hydra, and so on. They decided to enter one of the chambers they deem the most safe from any type of natural factors that may damage it. The chamber that is chosen to be opened and investigated by a small group of archeologists bears the symbol of a single man with wings.
Danny: There is no future. There is no past. Don't you see? Time is simultaneous, an intricately structured jewel that humans insist on viewing one edge at a time, when the whole design is visible in every fact. Zack: ...All I asked was if you wanted to cut your birthday cake first.
Random: I saw the most beautiful woman outside today. Zack: That’s impossible, Mira has been inside with me all day.
Zack: Well, Mira and I finally did it! The rest of the squad: *gasps, shocked expressions, etc.* Zack: That's right... We kissed!
In the midst of the void, daniel knows that he is going through another loop as his soul goes in the process he felt shivers even though he doesn't have a body, it felt to him that someone's hands lingering in his soul like he is being toyed with love? obsession? admiration? adoration? awe? Daniel feels calm as he thinks he knows that person or knows that they won't hurt him. Daniel felt their hands let go of them as he vanishes to his next loop. Daniel Daniel My beloved Daniel No matter what loop we are in, we will be together even after death. You will love me for awe, You will hate me for being obsessive with you. You are our light, and we sacrifice ourselves for you But we will drag you into the abyss for your mind, body, and soul. Again And Again And Again As you are our beloved daniel
"Daniel, my dear? wake up! it's time for school!" Daniel hears a familiar voice. ________ You can interpret it in any way on who the is the person in yellow and black bold. the coloring is already a hint.
Jay didn't know what the empty feeling in his chest was but he detested it. Nevertheless, he endured, knowing that his beloved would soon rejoin him. Soon.
The darkness lit up with the arrival of Daniel's soul. As usual, it waited around for a new loop to start while making silly little shapes out of his forms. Jay snickered at the blue being that resembled a cow and cooed over the cat-shaped one before his darling melted back into a floating blue orb. He adored watching his Danny's antics and shenanigans across the loops, secretly cheering him on each time from the sidelines.
This time Jay felt strangely emboldened and reached out an invisible hand to touch his lover's soul. It shivered and backed away in confusion, but that did not deter him. He sent his feelings of adoration through the void and felt them echo around the little soul. Joy and adulation bubbled in his chest as the little soul tried to curl around him like a satisfied cat expressing its affection.
Of course, his perfect Daniel, his love, would find a way to sense him although he could not see him!
Jay felt as if his heart could burst at that very moment, but he was snapped out of his fantasies by a crack appearing in the void. He clicked his tongue in annoyance and gave the little blue soul another gentle nudge before reluctantly stepping away and allowing him to be engulfed in the light and take to the next cycle.
"My beloved, you will come back to me! No matter how long it takes! You will forever be mine, and mine only!"
With another loving sigh, Jay drifted through the cracks left in the other's wake, eager to join him once more. He slipped through the jagged shards of the void with practiced ease, paying no mind to the infernal shrill sound of his prison mending itself once again. It never matters anyways, since it can never withstand his honey's power and always crumbled before his bright soul. Daniel was just special like that, and it only served to further fuel his obsessive love for the boy. That was partially why he always followed after him.
It didn't matter that he forgot his memories at the beginning of each loop like all the others, the echo of his affections never faded from his heart and they would be reunited before he would be forced to leave again, he just knew it! So each time he was found and his soul was torn from these worlds, he clung to his darling Daniel and dragged him back to the void with him.
Never would he be willing to leave a world alone.
Never would he and his beloved be separated again, no matter how selfishly he had to act.
Never.
They had sworn an oath after all~ And Jay would see it through. No. Matter. What.
You are sitting at your desk one quiet evening finishing up some assignments when you hear a crack behind you, like someone just stepped on one of the creaky floorboards of your cozy little home. Only problem is, you live in an apartment with cement floors covered in fluffy carpets.
Wordlessly, you pull out an ancient blade with shining symbols all over it that seems to buzz happily as it is once again in your grasp.
Throughout Lookism you get these cut-aways where different characters comment upon things happening in the main storyline, and while at first they’re framed as convos between two or more characters, at one point they start to come across more as like a third party interview:
And I just want to know who is interviewing them???? And how do I get that job???
Zack: Don't stay up all night, Daniel. Last time you got this sleep-deprived, you tried to eat your own shirt.
Zack: How do I deal with my enemies? Danny: Kill them Zack: That's a bit extreme, I was hoping for a more passive solution Danny: Kill them only a little?
