⋰ lake + beach

lake + beach.
to the northernmost border of the camp, you can find the long island sound; a vast body of salt water leading out to the atlantic ocean. the sound is surrounded by a sandy coastline mimicking a proper beach(but unless you have a poseidon kid with you, waves probably aren't gonna happen). you can find canoe boats and some modified jetskis here for water based activities.

on every major holiday, the children of hephaestus will put on a fireworks show by the beach for all to watch.

@j. jeongguk // that's good

Rather than responding, Minghao focused on the movements he was being shown and did his best to copy those movements as instructed. He was determined to learn how to surf so he and Jeongguk could have other things to do together that weren't necessarily ual or combat related. Then maybe once he had the balls to actually confess, they could do things like dates or whatever...if Jeongguk felt the same way, of course. Maybe Minghao was reading too much into things and their interactions were just friendly in the other's eyes?

He nearly fell over when the son of Poseidon spoke again, getting too caught up in his fretful thoughts, but he laughed it off and adjusted his posture as instructed so he eventually was smoothly jumping to his feet. "Like this?" He asked after he had done it a few more times, a little distracted under his friend's gaze, but definitely trying to play it off by doing a few extra reps. The pet name had his cheeks coloring a bit, though, and more laughter fell from his lips. "Must be channeling it from you," he mused, turning to glance at the water with a thoughtful hum, "I think I'm ready to face the waves. You'll be right next to me, right?"

"Ah, yeah, I'm pretty sure I have. Can't recall if I did it well, though."

@m. lalisa The two of them are their own version of yin and yang. Worlds between them, stretched apart in the way they conquer life, their values opposite too. And still, a part of him is like her, a part of her like him. As if only through each other they can connect and step into those ripped apart worlds. “Ain’t I always right?” His lips curl into a grin. Even with it being nothing but a joke, he could be quite full of himself from time to time. “Fear is a fuel that will keep you small, plaster your mind with anxiety until you don't even dare to step out of your room. Don’t make yourself small when the world awaits you.” He would never admit it, though fear had been his prison as a young boy. As his origin had still been a mystery to him, as his days had been covered by a darkness worse than the one at night. It would have been so easy to just give up on life as he had no reason to live for. “You are not putting her in harm, Lisa. You are allowed to do whatever you want to do. No one should stop you from it, especially not the fear of danger. We were born for danger, so? Makes it all the more interesting to master whatever challenge there is to come.” His fingertips caress along the skin of her arms travelling down to her hands and then moving over her stomach. “I think you need to refuel some energy from the ocean.” He whispers into her ear while tugging at her shirt.

@j. jaehyun His response, albeit unexpectedly blunt, earns a smile from her. It's a genuine display of her (hidden) affection, because although his answer was not at all what she wanted to hear, she did appreciate his honesty. Though admittedly, it did take her a while to become accustomed to his bordering flagrant transparency. He was brash, sometimes came off a bit insensitive — and that's probably only because she tended to be easily offended and dramatic — but she had since grown fond of it. She learned that it only meant he was sincere, and though she doubts it every once in a while, he had proven her time and time again that it was true. Perhaps it's the reason why she was so open and vulnerable with him. Why she wasn't afraid to air out all of her troubles to him, to vent when she wouldn't to someone else. He never sugar coated anything, or held back whatever opinion he had. He was reliable, and often gave the best advice. And she always took it, even if she's normally too stubborn to listen to someone. "You're right," she murmurs, tilting her head to the side as his pillowy couplets press a kiss upon her neck. "I guess I just got so used to living with people like us. I guess I'm afraid of putting people in danger. Like my mom. How could I ever put her in harm's way...again?"
j. jaehyun ( H 31.08 - 31.09 ) 3 years ago
@m. lalisa He listens to her carefully. The three words seem to rip a big crevice not only around but also between them. Responsibility and duty had never been what he cared about much. His whole life had been led by danger too so far, mainly because his recklessness controlled his everyday situations. Challenges and danger, it was what had him feel alive, had sparks rush through him each time. It might have been due to his father, lord of the underworld, that feeling alive was something that Jaehyun had to fight for. “You’re paranoid.” A smile tugs at his lips as the kiss is placed onto his knuckles, warmth radiating from her lips right through his skin. “Life would be boring without risks and danger, don’t you think?” His hand caresses over her collarbones, down her arms while a tender kiss is placed on her neck. “Even the camp cannot keep you safe forever. The biggest danger is being scared of the outside world, it will only end up feeling like you locked yourself away from it. Don’t give up on your freedom just like that. Plus, we were trained for whatever there is to come.”

@x. minghao [] seungwoo got me covered o/ gods bless

“Mm, I know” Jeongguk hummed, going through the motions of tucking his knees under his torso and pushing himself up into a loose stance that almost mimicked what skateboarders(though he would argue it was a surfer stance more) do. He repeated the movements a few times slowly until Minghao was more confident in doing it himself.

“Yeah, that’s good, do it a couple more times until you stop wobbling when you jump up. Bring your feet in a little bit too, you want them to be in line with your shoulders.” Guk replied, moving into a cross legged sitting position on his board to watch Hao practise getting up. It took a couple more attempts, but just as he expected, his friend got the hang of it fairly quick. “You’re a natural, babe” He grinned, giving Minghao a double platinum certified thumbs up(woah, that’s prestige right there). “Do you wanna practise a bit more or do you wanna go out and see what it’s like just to sit on the board on the water? Practise your balance our there too?”

“You’ve done the paddle boarding right? It’s kinda like that, actually”
j. jeongguk [A] 3 years ago
@h. seungwoo [] i know seungwoo isn’t a demigod but Guk doesn’t know that, hence why Seungwoo gets referred to as ‘demigod’ a few times

“Huh?”

“Mate, I think you got the wrong idea” Jeongguk snorted, holding his hands up to show that he meant to no harm. “I swear, I come in peace. I just have a 12th sense about stuff and you kinda looked like you needed someone to check in on you” In an effort to show good some form of good will, he made an exaggerated gesture of twirling his fingers— jazz hands, anyone?— and pulled the water from the other demigods shirt, dumping it into the lake.

“And It’s just me. I like to go on midnight swims sometimes. It’s surprisingly fun.” Jeongguk pursed his lips together, shoving his hands into the pockets of his jeans as a salty breeze ruffled his hair. It was a little chilly to stand beside the lake for the middle of July but it didn’t bother him as much as it did others. "I dunno if I've introduced myself to you, but I'm Jeongguk. last name unknown but you can substitute it for 'the freshest' if you want. Totally up to you". He and Seungwoo stood for a moment, his gaze directed out towards the water before he suddenly broke their silence “Sometimes I miss New York.” Jeongguk blurted out. “I live here full time because.. Reasons, but even though I haven’t been to the city for years, I still feel like it’s a bit of home.”

He turned to look at Seungwoo, meeting the other dudes eyes for a moment. “I couldn’t even imagine what it’s like for you and your.. army? No, cohort? I’m still getting my head around your Roman lingo but—” Jeongguk paused, taking a second to gather his thoughts(and maybe just test the waters in case he was about to get decked in the face) “For you guys, you didn’t ask for this. You can’t even leave the camp grounds without something bad happening.”

“Though I did hear about you and Serena, I hope your curse isn’t spreading to the whole campsite. Tch, I dunno why Luis just got angry at you, it takes two to tango.” Jeongguk snorted, shaking his head.

“You can tell me to right off if you want, I just get the kinda vibe that you needed to talk.”

@f. cody It wasn't like Krystal was on nightly patrol or anything, but tonight just seemed so perfect for a late night stroll. So it didn't take her long to cut through the camp and dip past the line of trees to come out upon the shore. This was one of her favorites sights after all: the moon reflecting upon the lake's tranquil surface with only the sound of crickets and the breeze passing through the leaves of the trees that acted as a barricade for the camp's northernmost border.

For a second, she thought she was alone because it was only her silhouette that was outlined in the sand. However, upon closer look, there was indeed a second dark figure a distance away. Must be one of the campers, Krystal assumed passively, deciding to leave them to their own business. However, a shift of the wind not only picked up the tresses of her hair, but carried a familiar scent across the shore. The second of surprise she had was followed by an amused chuckle. Of course, she considered approaching the person to give them a word — she was still a head counselor after all, but she found the reason why she ended up approaching was different entirely.
j. soojung 3 years ago
@h. momo The day was dragging on rather slowly, so even though Krystal was sure she probably had some counselor duties to do, she just didn't feel like doing any of them at the time being. Instead, she had made plans with Momo to come to the lakeside to get a breath of fresh air. It hadn't been more than a few weeks that she had come to the camp herself, but it was more than enough time for the female to make a friend. She was sure the latter would appreciate it since the instructors seemed to be drilling her pretty hard during training for whatever reason. Though they probably did that with everybody in camp, Krystal just noticed it a tad bit more because it was happening to her friend.

At the moment, the sun was high up in the sky, so she had settled herself underneath the shade of the nearby trees as she waited for Momo's arrival. It wasn't necessarily hot, but her being a daughter of Khione always appreciated it more when there just wasn't any sun to begin with. The avid wind did make her stay a bit more tolerable, but without another person here to take her mind off the weather, Krystal could only sit and ponder the absurdity of a winter-lover like her spending her time on the summer-equivalent beach. Upon further thought, she realized that it was actually her that had offered up the location, so she couldn't help but chuckle sarcastically at her own calamity.

@j. jeongguk // ajdfkaldfd i hope someone does for you soon ;;; we could always gukhao angst again at some point

"Excuse you. I only needed to learn how to swim to avoid drowning the best I can. My specialties lie elsewhere." Minghao laughed, jolting a bit at the hand pressed against his stomach. Clean thoughts, clean thoughts. He was not about to pop a hard on in this wetsuit while he was supposed to be learning how to surf. Damn Jeongguk and his hands. He made sure to listen attentively as Jeongguk explained the rules and regulations of the activity they were going to be partaking in, really not in the mood to die or get injured over something that was supposed to be fun and a way to spend more time with the son of Poseidon.

"Yeah, and I had to patch you up. That was really ty. Please don't ever do that again." He huffed softly to himself, recalling the memory with a frown. He's pretty sure he had cried about it a bit back in the safety of his own cabin, but he wasn't about to tell Jeongguk that. His gaze returned to his friend to watch his movements for a moment before laying down on his own board to mirror what his friend was doing. "Like this?"

@j. jeongguk Camp Half-Blood. Camp Jupiter.

Whichever it was, they say it's his /home/ now; but he could hardly believe it. How can he? When all his life the only home he knew of was in the shape of a figure— his sister? Who, even that, left him to shatter into bits. It was entirely absurd that just one day, he now has a home and a family to call; but, Seungwoo knew better than to be carried by those tempting words.

Thus, he didn't stray from his norms; in fact, he only portrayed his true colors.

On the first day of his stay in the camp, he already (yet unintentionally) stirred up trouble— one, he slept with a girl from Cabin 12 or 22(?), who announced she had a boyfriend only after their deed, two, said boyfriend stormed in his cabin and delivered a stunning punch, which earned his lip a bruise, and three, he slept with the very same woman the day after just to spite her boyfriend further, which led them to break up. For Seungwoo, it had been an exhilarating ride; it was as if he was successful in unraveling the realities of the place they want him to call /home/, but for some reason, a part of him honestly wanted to believe that this place was akin to one— where everyone could be in their own element and be... happy, or contented at the very least.

Just like him.

Seungwoo looked up at the familiar face of the man behind him. He knew who he was— Jungwoo, Jungkook, or something of the sort the woman he slept with gossiped about. The stranger was known as the camp's resident frat boy, and he could attest to that when he had seen him fluttered around the camp like some kind of social butterfly earlier in the day.

Sighing subtly, Seungwoo brushed off his worries for the time being and stood up to face the man, the atmosphere enveloping him shifting to a lighter spectrum. "Would've been better if my shirt didn't get wet," he answered with a lackluster tone before dusting the droplets from his shoulder, as if it would dry it off, and continuing, "So, tell me. Where's your posse? I'd rather be informed and leave than be showered with a bunch of your likes."

@j. soojung it was the perfect time of night for cody; the stars had premiered as dusk settled, and with the picturesque scene of lapping waves and shimmering cosmic bodies, serenity was easy to claim. especially as he grounded himself, bare feet buried a good few inches in the sand mirrored by his palms, while his curly moptop flounced back with the resting of his head. he drew in sacred breaths, filling his chest and every vein with the energy he so desired, and becoming one with his environment. once centered, the golden boy's fingers fished something slim and oblong from his shirt pocket, tucking it lithely between his lips before the tip sputtered to life with a dim flame that soon subsided. all that followed were opaque clouds of smoke appearing as a wisp in front of the young magus with every puff of the joint, sweet sweet serotonin finally swirling carelessly through his brain and blood. cody could care less about the world in that very moment of silence, wanting nothing else but this specific lapse in time that leaves the world on pause; and so the boy sat and enjoyed his treat unbothered, grounding himself with the elemental powers of the lake.
j. jeongguk [A] 3 years ago
@h. seungwoo For somebody who was so active during the day, there was something really beautiful about night-time falling. In the warmth of the sun, you could be the best version of yourself, you could be the happiest, the brightest, you could be the person who you, and others, wanted to be. That was why Jeongguk was always so passionate, so intense, about everything he did; he didn’t want to think about the bad that came with the good, he only wanted to focus on what made him happy. But when darkness fell and everything went quiet aside from the cicadas humming in the grass, the far off monster cries deep in the forest, you were given a chance to reflect on everything that makes you what you are. No distractions, no loud noises, just simple peace.

It was why Jeongguk enjoyed visiting the Long Island Sound during the midnight hours, diving deep, deep, even deeper, until the only thing he could hear was his own heartbeat and the currents that flowed past him.

Peaceful, is what it was, lying on the sand to stare at the flickering reflection of the moon on the surface.

Occasionally a naiad would swim past to coax him into playing a game but most nights he rejected their advances. He liked being the carefree resident frat dude but even he needed a break from that, to remember the things that led him to being here in Camp Half-Blood.

They never were the nicest memories. They made him cry salty tears that were hidden by the water, made him rip up the seaweed fronds around him when they so much as tickled against his skin, they made him clench his fists in anger and shame until they bled and scream into the endless ocean ‘why? why did you let me go that alone?’ but there was never a reply. There never would be a reply. His so-called family didn’t care, they never would. In the end it just made him appreciate the new family that he had made in his years at Camp Half-Blood, people like Minghao and Baekhyun, people like his younger half sisters Lisa and Yuqi, everyone else who cared enough to give him the time of day even if he aggravated them on occasion. They were the ones who calmed his anger when he would start to lose control.

But not everyone had a reason to cherish what they have now.

That was something that Jeongguk would find out as he pushed himself off the ocean bed and swim back up to the surface, letting the ocean wet his hair as he surfaced, lungs burning from the change from water to air. He shook his hair clear of the droplets, wading back onto the beach. Somewhere in the distance, a harpy screeched. Jeongguk toed off his dry shoes so he could feel the grains of sand under his feet as he walked, not back to his cabin but rather towards the pier so he could enjoy this time alone a little bit more.

‘The world is quiet here’ he thought to himself, lips quirking up into a brief smile at the book quote that belonged in r/im14andthisisdeep. He paused not a few moments later when he realised he wasn’t as alone as he thought; up ahead, a crouched figure sitting by the ocean. Even from here, Jeongguk could sense the depress expresso vibes coming from the stranger so he silently walked forward until he could actually discern who it was.

Jeongguk stopped about a metre away from the crouched person, chewing on his lower lip nervously as he debated whether it was a good idea or not to interrupt. Some people liked to be alone in their sorrow whereas some liked having someone to comfort them; it wouldn’t hurt to ask.

“Hey, uh, what’s going on? You alright?”
m. lalisa 3 years ago
@j. jaehyun Though she would never admit it out loud, his presence alone brings her joy. Her heart, riddled with dissatisfaction, feels a little lighter with him by her side. It's as if that dimpled smile, paired with the soothing voice that pours forth from those pretty, rosy lips, were the perfect anecdote for her troubles. It all becomes more bearable when she has him to talk to. Sure, she has paid a fair amount of visits to the beach alone, so that she may rely on the tide to wash away all negativity in her body. But even then it wasn't enough. Jaehyun, on the other hand, spoke to her. Showed understanding through actions or words and, most of the time, a combination of both. He provided feedback that the ocean failed to give her. So she allows herself to speak freely, to find comfort in him—something she couldn't bring herself to with others. "Danger. Responsibility. Duty." She murmurs, lifting his hand to her lips to place a delicate kiss upon his knuckles. "You would think that the most powerful children on earth have the freedom to do whatever they want. And yet we're the ones at risk. More prone to getting killed than regular human beings. Ironic, don't you think? Or am I just paranoid?"
j. jaehyun ( H 31.08 - 31.09 ) 3 years ago
@m. lalisa The pull at her lips radiates happiness in his heart. He would never admit it, clearly, but seeing her smile has effects on him that he can’t quite grasp into words. Soft moments were rare but even more so did he enjoy them each time. His arms envelop her once more as her back leans against his chest, warmth circulating between them. His chin rests on her shoulder, his head leaning against hers as he stares onto the ocean too. While they see the same in front of them, he is sure that their perspectives vary. Poseidon’s daughter must have quite a unique connection to the ocean. Almost as if his thoughts are confirmed, she guides the water as if it is the most simple thing to do in the world. “What stops you?” He knows of her status in the camp, a full-time camper just like himself. “You have all the possibilities in the world to change that routine. Either you try out something new at the camp or you actually go out into the world. Even with what we are or maybe especially with what we are, the world should be open for us, waiting.”
m. lalisa 3 years ago
@j. jaehyun His ministrations are small. Simple. Nothing entirely extravagant, and yet they're enough to temper vexation that burdens her. His kisses are subdued, placed between her strands of dark hair, but are enough to make her smile once more. And though her senses are enveloped by the being that is him, the sounds of waves crashing along the shoreline do not go unnoticed by her ears. The combination of his hold and the presence of the sea is paradise enough, at least for now. And with the namesake he gifts her—she's grinning like a fool. She attempts to hide this, but the pull of her lips betray her. "I am," she sits in between his legs without protest, leaning against his strong chest as she casts her blue gaze to waters of the same hue. A sigh is released once more as she reaches for his hand, idly intertwining her fingers with his. "I'm just. I guess I'm exhausted. Doing the same thing over and over again. I want to go out into the world and be 'normal' sometimes, but—" She waves her free hand towards the foam that ripples towards their joined figures, a bubble of water forming above the line of the sea. She's quick to let it go, and exhales in frustration. "I can't."

@m. lalisa Relief should have washed over him upon her murmur, though he feels as if the embrace is not enough to have her ease from whatever had brought her into this state. He senses her exhaustion. The waves still crashing at the small beach while holding onto Poseidon’s daughter almost has something magical. Jaehyun would never admit just how moments like these have him feel---content and at peace with the world. His hands glide along her back gently while his lips press yet another kiss to her hair. He wants to lock his lips with hers, have a taste of her sweet tiers. “Let’s lay on the sand, it’s warm.” A whisper is pressed to her ear before he loosens the embrace only to have his hand take a hold of hers. “My water princess.” Once he sat down on the sand, he looks up at her with a grin. It is nothing but teasing as her reactions amuse him each time. Nonetheless, he is serious about what he calls most of the time, mainly because those names suit her. “Are you exhausted from your routine? At least I am, working is stressful. I’d rather just stay here all the time.”

@x. minghao [] sdfghjklsorry lol but literally the need for somebody to pick me up on that plot is INTENSE. I NEED ANGST, YO.

“Yeah, I kinda figured you’d know jack ” Guk snickered, slapping his hand against Minghaos— coughs, tight— stomach. “even if we were doing big waves, just remember that I could give you mouth to mouth resuscitation” Jeongguk joked before he went through the rules about surfing though most of them ended up not really applying considering they were only two of a few(#rhyme) on the beach and the others were either paddling in shallower water or sunbathing. “And if you think something is wrong, you yell out and jump off of the board, no hesitation cause otherwise that’s how you end up with a potential broken leg or some other kinda injury. Remember when I did it a few years ago?” Yeah, surfing accidents weren’t pretty. Guk had ended up nearly snapping his knee clean off because he’d caught a bad wave further out in the sound away from the camp. It was not a fun time. “That’s pretty much all it is to it!” Jeongguk grinned and stepped back, jumping onto his own board to get Hao to copy his movements. “So you’re gonna practise on the sand first and then when you got the hang of it, we’ll get you out on the water where you’ll practise getting on your knees when on a wave. Follow what I do, yeah?” He said, laying on his stomach.

@j. jaehyun He's warm. Familiar. And though she'd want nothing more than to abandon familiarity for something more exciting, the male was a definite exception. Days of bustling, chaotic activity on camp grounds has rendered her exhausted, the girl yearning for a vacation from her usual routine. Wake up, train, teach, repeat. Her purpose is lost in the hours of seemingly unnecessary battle training, with the occasional capture the flag fiascos. It's tiring, to say the least. But Jaehyun, in comparison, was a calm force. Someone she—although she refuses to admit it—enjoys being with, at least for a temporary getaway. The strong pair of arms that curl around her frame brings her shoulders to deflate, a pound of her frustration dissipating in his embrace. She presses a kiss to his chest, a small smile curling upon her lips as his baritone voice calls out her name. "I'm feeling better now," she murmurs in response, closing her eyes as she remains still in his arms.
j. jaehyun ( H 31.08 - 31.09 ) 3 years ago
@m. lalisa A faint breeze ruffles through his hair. His eyes are closed as tiny waves of water crash against his feet from time to time. He feels at piece in the quietness, the camp being way too crowded for him at times. While he has no issues with social events, there is a part of him who craves silence. As he senses the female behind him, his heart feels at ease. Her presence has affects on him that he can’t quite grasp. By far, he must be the biggest tease she had ever had to deal with but even then, he never hesitated to reveal how much he actually cares for her. “Lisa.” Her name rolls of his lips like a spell, a smooth whisper. Jaehyun turns in her embrace facing his back towards the ocean as his arms enfold her body. “Are you okay?” His lips press against her head. Worry leads his actions as the woman in his arms seems to act quite differently from her usual self.
m. lalisa 3 years ago
@j. jaehyun The sand sinks beneath her feet when she steps foot onto the beach. At once does the ocean welcome her, waves crashing onto the shore as the salty scent of seawater envelopes her in an embrace. It’s calming, it always is, but she knew she wanted more than her father’s domain to quell the frustration that weighs heavily upon her shoulders. What she needed, instead, was the person that stood before the simmering seafoam. She casts a cerulean gaze upon his figure, a small sigh emitting past her tiers as she walks towards him, feet ceaseless in their steps until stands behind his frame. Without a second of hesitation, she curls her arms around his waist from behind, cheek pressing against the warmth of his back as she releases yet another sigh, however relieved.

@j. jeongguk // i saw your starter above this and for some reason my brain thought that was a reply to me, and i went "wtf guk" fajdlkfjadsf

"Could be. Guess I'll have to give you a fashion show on Friday," Minghao laughed, swatting at the other's hand once he was pinched, "I think some people would debate you on that. Surfers don't have to worry about being tossed in the air and caught by another human being." He stood along with Jeongguk, using his free hand to dust some sand off of himself while he gave the other's hand a gentle squeeze. "That's a relief, not quite sure how I'd even survive that," he commented offhandedly as his gaze traveled over the board he was now standing on, "Uh, I'm going to be honest and tell you I'm not entirely sure? I've never even touched a surfboard before today." It wasn't wrong. Besides learning how to swim for survival purposes, he really didn't spend time in the water.

@x. minghao "is that an offer for me to see you in a skirt? Cause I'm totally down for a femboy friday" Guk replied with a grin, pinching the inside of Minghaos thigh through his wetsuit. "But no, cheerleading is not the most hardcore, psh, what are you talking about. Cheerleaders don't have to worry about 50 foot waves tryna drown them" Jeongguk pushed himself up from the sand, tugging Minghao up with him and lacing their fingers together, bringing him to stand on the soft board. "Lucky for you, you don't have to worry about drowning or 50 foot waves." Guk was hardly shy with using his hands to help move Hao into the correct position, eventually settling on his hips and squeezing them. Even though it was highly, highly unlikely that Jeongguk was going to be giving Hao waves bigger than 1 or 2 feet, and this was meant to be fun, Guk had seen first hand the type of that surfing could do to people if they were stupid "So while we're not gonna be going crazy for your first time, I also don't want you to accidentally up, so can you tell me what you already know you're /not/ supposed to do out there?"
x. minghao ( H. 2/8 - 25/8 ) [A] 3 years ago
@j. jeongguk Laughter fell from his lips as Minghao clung to his friend in a poor attempt to help him find his balance again while he not-so-discretely let his eyes take in what he could see of Jeongguk in a wetsuit. It really was unfair that the son of Poseidon could literally look hot in anything. What deal with Aphrodite did Poseidon make for such a person to exist? He’d never know, but he was surely enamored as their lips pressed together for a brief kiss, one that made him pout for another even if he wouldn’t admit it. “It’s more fun to surprise you, though, and I wasn’t even trying to be quiet,” he retorted playfully, reaching to poke his friend’s cheek despite the sand on his hands, “Oh? Are we cheerleading instead?”
j. jeongguk [A] 3 years ago
@x. minghao “Phwoah!” Jeongguk topped sideways, throwing out a hand to stop him from tumbling onto the sand. His other arm wrapped around Minghao, a move that was practically second nature by now, a laugh bubbling in his chest. “Gods, give a guy some warning” Guk chided, shoving Minghao when he’d gotten his balance back up. He leant in, pressing a quick kiss to his friends lips, “Are you ready to learn the most hardcore sport of all of history?”
x. minghao ( H. 2/8 - 25/8 ) [A] 3 years ago
@j. jeongguk Time seemed to be going back unnecessarily slow that day as Minghao’s gaze fixated on his watch ever few minutes during work to see if he was any closer to being finished. He was feeling pretty giddy, bouncing on his toes whenever he swore no one was looking because he had plans at the beach with his best friend and they /finally/ had time for Jeongguk to teach him how to surf like he had requested a while back. Perhaps it was his mind wandering through the power of daydreams or time just suddenly seemed to speed up, because soon he was saying goodbyes to his students and heading to his cabin to change into a wetsuit he had made sure to snag once the idea was agreed upon. He changed quickly so not to delay his arrival any longer and couldn’t keep himself from doing a sort of awkward run walk through camp so he could get to the beach sooner, gracefully tackling the son of Poseidon once he was close enough. “Hey, you.”

@x. minghao Jeongguk always liked the feeling of sand between his toes. He bit his lip, smiling as he draw random shapes in the shoreline, only for the salty water to wash away his graffiti and make the sand sparkle like diamonds. It was a beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky(thanks Zeus) and the sun(thanks Apollo) was just past it’s midpoint, making the water glint and shine. It was just enough so that he was sweating slightly under his wetsuit but there was no point in taking it off; the person he was waiting for would be here soon enough and they’d be able to hop in the water for the rest of the afternoon. He left the water to jog up to the neatly lined up row of surfboards, picking out his usual board(a gun style with tribal patterns painted across the resin) and a soft top for Minghao considering this was his first time actually attempting to surf. Guk was excited to teach his best friend one of his favourite hobbies, something he’d made very clear when he’d literally jumped outta bed after talking about it. He lay the boards onto a flat area of sand and sat between the boards, his arms resting on his raised knees, soaking in the sun until Minghao arrived.

@l. hoseok The tide is high, and yet it calms her so. Cerulean spheres are stilled in a trance, the ripples of water enchanting her in a voluntary daze. Her frame is completely relaxed, including the chest and pair of shoulders that rise and fall with a steady breath. The water calls to her, and she smiles, the urge to dive in itching at her legs. But she doesn't, because unlike most days, the ocean was not why she came. Her reason sat atop a quilted blanket, admiring the water just as she did, perhaps awaiting her slightly belated arrival. She takes in a deep breath, halting in her tracks, then proceeds towards him silently. She breaks this once she's slipped atop the patterned sheet beside him, eyes at the ocean ahead. "You're early."
