The coughing was a tell tale sign he'd caught him off guard, moving to pat his back awkwardly to help move the coughing along. He felt a bit bad about that, if only because he knew choking on alcohol was like lighting your nose on fire and suffocating half the time. He listened closely to each...

Perhaps it was the cold air finally reeling him back in, or the ever tight muscles finally feeling the release of breaking something, but Jae-Hwa was finally coming to his senses about what he'd just done. He didn't regret it, of course not, but he was certainly sure for a moment that Vadim...

"I've had it for as long as I can remember," he replied earnestly, thinking to his childhood. Only the oldest specimen meant the most to him, locked away in a drawer to never be seen by anyone but himself. It had been the creature that started his interest in bugs, and had been there for him at...

Jae-Hwa let out a snort then, moving and knocking the other with his finger on the forehead, though it wasn't hard. "I told you before, I don't offer things that inconvenience me. If I didn't think I could handle it, I wouldn't offer," he replied, offering a smile. "Things that annoy me aren't...

A lonely death. How sad to think of, something truly disheartening in the idea. Truth be told, he had always assumed there was some part of a person that felt relieved with someone close by in their last moments, but he supposed that was his own way of thinking. Vadim was right, at the end of it...

Well wasn't that just a pickle. On one hand, two people doing research together would get farther than just one, but on the other hand, Jae-Hwa wasn't the generous type in any sense. The idea of him being around his little puppy crush would, normally, be enough to send him into a rage. Thoughts...

If his brothers or sister were here, they might comment on his almost puppy like pout from behind. Despite how innocent that sort of pout was, anyone who knew Jae-Hwa knew it held much darker meaning. He wasn't the type of person who accepted being second best to anyone but his choosing, and he...

Someone special, someone he was interested in. How infuriating. He ignored the rage that bubbled under skin, threatening to spew lava from his mouth as soon as he heard. He let out a hum, leaning back on his elbows. "I wouldn't put it past yourself. You've encapsulated me, who's to say you...

"What about yourself, hm? I hear professors are into their students pretty regularly," he teased, but a small part of him felt a bubble of rage at the idea. Someone else seeing what was rightfully going to be his specimen left a feeling of anger in his chest. Raw and rubbed aggressively. He...

Jae-Hwa paused, letting out a loud laugh at the concern of money. He supposed it was fair, it wasn't like he had mentioned the fact he gained money passively from his family. "Don't worry, consider it a housewarming gift," he replied, waving the money off. "If ordering dinner would've busted my...

It was fairly obvious a nightmare was happening, the quiet whispers and jerks and jostling in sleep were telltale signs. The only reason he could recognize them was because of Michiru, so he was at least a bit thankful. When Vadim startled for a moment upon seeing him, he figured he was in the...

He half expected an emotional reaction, but he wouldn't lie and say he wasn't surprised by the loud wailing. He wasn't bothered, far from it, but it was a surprise to hear. Then again, he supposed he shouldn't be, considering what he'd heard and seen so far. Loneliness was a crushing thing...

"Well, we'll be in the same boat then," he replied with a lighthearted snort. He couldn't blame him, that was arguably the best thing that man had done. He purposefully didn't bring up the worst, knowing well that even for someone like him, things got too bad with that. So it's like that...

Jae-Hwa let out a laugh, full belly with a nod at the comment. Uwe was the most pathetic of any person he'd met, which was saying something considering the line of work the family was in. "Quite frankly, none of us like him. Even my father's thought of shipping him off," he answered honestly...

"You should learn to get used to it, especially considering I'll be doing far more," Jae-Hwa replied, voice airy and playful at the comment. He was being honest, though, knowing that his attentiveness could easily become overbearing at the best of times. He nodded, thinking back to that night...
