RE: when you're stuck inside the dark;; - Seojin Jeong - November 14, 2025
Every little sound Ahn-Bo-ah made was always a delight to Jin, but now more than ever they were reminders that he was back to (semi) normal after being embodied by a figurative gwishin. Jin didn’t even want to think how shallow and empty his aein had looked yesterday when they’d first seen one another. He obviously hadn’t been eating or sleeping well, or doing much of anything except torturing himself, and a quick bath with one good meal would not undo months of anguish but— every little hum or smile or laugh was another step in the right direction. And Jin was perfectly content to help Ahn-Bo along however he could, but especially if it meant just laying with him and being close.
The answer that followed made Jin raise a brow. He hadn’t expected a full blown adventure to explore the local landmarks but… they should definitely get some fresh air at some point. Take a walk, maybe. But ‘just this’ was good enough for now. (Maybe after he used the restroom.) Smiling brightly as Ahn-Bo tugged him closer, Jin hummed. “Just this is nice,” he agreed. At some point they should probably eat too, but if Bo-ah wasn’t hankering, Jin certainly wasn’t going to press him. He wasn’t starving either. “I like… just taking care of you,” he admitted with a slight flush. (It hadn’t sounded so stupid in his head as it did aloud.) Moving one hand to tug Ahn-Bo’s own towards him though, Jin traced the thread he’d knotted there appreciatively. “It looks like it worked,” he smiled, nodding at the thread. “Did you sleep alright?” Perhaps it was a little belated to ask the question, but he didn’t mean it as a mere pleasantry. Jin was actually curious to know. He meant it that he liked looking after Bo-ah. Honestly, if he could have spent the rest of his days just fussing and following, he’d have been perfectly alright with that. And maybe, now, he’d have to— to some degree. (Not that he was particularly pleased that it had to be in this way.)

Ahn-Bo Jeong
Jin’s agreement was easy enough. That is how they would spend the day then, cuddled up in bed. It was a nice change being able to think about the hours ahead of him without dread or emptiness. It would be a good day today because he was with Jin-a. That’s all he needed, really. Although now that he had been awake for a bit, the other necessity was more prevalent. He didn’t particularly want to tell his friend to just walk away from the cave a bit and pick a spot to use as the restroom… but maybe it was obvious already? Given his living conditions and all?
The trail of embarrassed thinking was interrupted by the vampire’s confession. His heart skipped a beat, the corner of his mouth quirking the slightest bit. ”Oh?” was all he had had a chance to respond with before his aein pressed on, the slight flush giving his own embarrassment away. Ahn-Bo would have liked to explore that topic in far more detail—there had been many times where he’d taken care of Jin-a over the years. Subtly, of course. Like the warming spell for the scarf he’d given (and allowed Jin to think he’d stolen for his own.) Bringing little gifts back for him whenever they returned from a holiday. Not that Jin-a hadn’t returned the care. He’d done that tenfold. But it had never been like this… they’d never had the opportunity at Maho.
His gaze fell to the thread in question, softening at the hopefulness he’d seen in Jin’s expression. ”Better than I have been,” he affirmed. It hadn’t been a perfect night’s sleep, but it hadn’t been full of nightmares. That he could remember, at least. But it wasn’t because of some silly string that had been tied around his wrist (sweet as the sentiment was.) ”Because you were here with me.” And then, because he knew his cheeks would pinken right along with the vampire’s, he asked, ”How did you sleep?”
