summer 10 - open library prompts & closed hyunseok prompt.
a. LIBRARY - BEFORE LATER
[ When Haein isn't holed up in his room, he's usually posted in some corner of the library with his nose in a book. He'd first visited the library with the intent to keep his mind sharp now that he was missing his usual college classes, but it hadn't taken long to discover that there was a troubling scarcity of non-fiction books.
It means picking up fiction books and hoping for the best, but honestly he's just been disappointed over and over again. A few premises catch his attention, and then he gets a chapter or three in and it's like he can't care to continue reading.
A particularly upsetting book (upsetting in that it's boring him to death) gets the unfortunate and rude treatment of Haein chucking it over his shoulder with an annoyed sigh. Good luck to whatever poor soul may be in the trajectory of that airborne book because it's coming in hot and fast.
Hey, at least it's a paperback book. ]
b. LIBRARY - LATER
[ Everyone knows that one romantic scene in media where two people reach for something at the same time and then it's like boom, here's where it all starts, right?
Well, this is kind of like that, with two people reaching for the same book, fingers brushing up against each other.
And then this is usually the part where eyes meet and hearts flutter, some charming person on the other end with promises of cheesy romance somewhere down the line. Only, this is nothing like that. It's just Haein glaring. To be fair, he'd probably look nice if he didn't look like he was two seconds away from committing murder for this book. ]
c. COMMUNITY CENTRE - LATER LATER
[ Having spent enough time at the library, Haein is now leaving the community center. Maybe run into him on the way out. Maybe actually run into him on the way out, physically colliding and all, because he's not paying attention to where he's going. ]
d. CLOSED TO HYUNSEOK
[ It's been more than a week since Haein had spoken to Hyunseok, which had not been plenty of time to cool off and let his anger dissipate. Oh no, Haein's temper is never ending, but on a kind of bright side, he's not as mad as he was before.
So wherever Hyunseok is, whatever he's doing, he might feel a pair of eyes on him. Look, this isn't easy for Haein... but he kind of feels strange that they're here on this island together and not on speaking terms (because of Haein but who's keeping track?). So he's mustering up both the courage and the will to say something first.
Right now, though, he's just watching Hyunseok with his usual scowl (which is probably permanent at this point) from a safe distance, waiting for an opening. ]

You have? [ Tries to look mildly curious when in fact he is very curious. ] I don't have anything like that where I'm from.
no subject
I used to work for an orginization that hunted down aliens. It tends to make you a bit jaded towards the unusual I’ll admit. Ianto Jones by the way, nice to meet you.
no subject
Haein... [ He's still trying to process the hunting down aliens part, so no formalities in return. Though in normal circumstances, he'd still withhold on those. ] Are these real aliens? Or are you one of those conspiracy theorists chasing after UFOs?
[ Can't be too sure at a place like this. ]
no subject
Real aliens. There’s a rift in time and space that runs through the center of Cardiff. We deal with it. [Or used to. It’s been awhile since he was a part of Torchwood, although it always makes for good conversation even now.] We always liked the conspiracy theorists, though. They make it easier to hide a top secret organization.
no subject
Top secret? [ Thinks about it for a moment. ] I guess there's no reason to keep it a secret here.
no subject
no subject
Nothing like that. [ They have gods, but people generally don't know about those, and Haein's not trying to share that bit. ] Those kinds of things are just... stories.

Probably. I can't imagine anything worse than that book.
