Jisung drags you back towards the entrance to the mountain with one hand around your bicep, a scowl on his face the entire time. Felix frowns when he takes notice of it.

“Jisung, relax,” he says. “She's—”

“I know what she is,” Jisung interrupts, continuing to face forward. “We’ll let the rest of the council decide what to do with her.”

Felix faces forward too, but his expression doesn’t fade. You had been ecstatic to reach the entrance to the mountain only minutes before—the end of the escape route from the Fidis clan. Now, you only feel a sense of dread at the thought of entering the home of the Lykos clan. You’d been so surprised by how easy Felix was to talk to, to get along with—but now you realize he wasn’t the standard for demons; he must be the exception.

SKZ Masterlist | Whispers of Nature | Wilting Wisteria

prologue.

Seungmin doesn’t think he’s crying. It doesn’t feel like it, at least – his chest doesn’t hurt, his throat doesn’t ache, his eyes don’t burn with a fire like the sun shining during the hottest hour of the day, but when his legs finally give out and he collapses to the grass, something liquid falls on the backs of his hands, glistening in the moonlight.

Not a cloud dots the sky. It’s too early in the night for dew. Seungmin blinks once, twice, and something wet trickles down his face.

Tears, then. Even if he didn’t know he was crying.

With a sigh, Seungmin brushes the wetness from his eyes, ignoring the tremble of his fingers against his cheeks. He clenches them in a fist and outstretches them once more. They shake a little less as they drop to the grass, blades blissfully cool on his skin, and his eyes close automatically, head falling backward to lean against the trunk of the tree he fell under.

This is nice. This is alright. Soft wind breezes past Seungmin’s face, rustling the grass beneath his palm and the leaves overhead, fresh air after having breathed stale whispers and gossip between stone palace walls for so long – spirits, Seungmin does appreciate his lot in life and enjoys the part he plays in it, but sometimes, by all the stars, sometimes it’s just so –

“Who weeps beneath my mother’s tree?”

He screams.

Sorry to be an ugly fun-killer but in light of the recent Invasion I urge you all to be mindful of the things you reblog and the memes that you repost. Please remember that behind every "world war 3 lmao" post there is a reality where real people are going to be displaced from their homes and are going to lose their lives.

Before you laugh at that tweet that talks about the draft or whatever ask yourself: are you laughing because it's funny? or are you laughing because you're safe and comfortable in the West and it's not a direct problem for you?

❀ BANG CHAN

Neglecting you.

Chan normally stays up late, often neglecting his health. When you confront him about this he says-

“I’m fine, just stop worrying.”

“Why are you so concerned? This isn’t about you.”

He’d constantly neglect himself, which leads to neglecting you. He works hours on end, come home, then immediately fall asleep.

“Hey, how was work?” You’d ask.

“It was fine.” He didn’t even look at you. The same process would repeat almost everyday. You like to convince yourself he’s just tired or not in the mood, but you know you’re just trying to make yourself feel better.

❀ LEE KNOW

Points out your insecurities.

Whenever you two argue, he always points out your insecurities. Sometimes he’ll point them out for no reason when he’s in a bad mood. One thing he focuses on pointing out is your appearance, specifically weight.

“You look like you’ve gained weight.”

“Your face looks fatter.”

“How much have you been eating recently? You should cut down.”

The words he’d say to you cut deeper than you could imagine. So much to the point where even being around him you’d feel insecure. The worst part is that he wouldn’t even apologize. He’d just go back to saying how much he “loves” you and act like nothing happened.

❀ CHANGBIN

Judges your body.

Changbin constantly works out, so of course he’d have a “perfect body.” In his mind, he thinks he’s looking out for you. But in reality, he’s just trying to get your body to look the way he wants.

“Your thighs look too big. You should work on them.”

“Your stomach looks bigger than last month; how much have you been eating?”

He didn’t even notice the effect he had on you. And being honest, he didn’t really care. Because again; in his mind, he was just “worrying about you.”

❀ HYUNJIN

Makes fun of your laugh.

Ever since getting in a relationship with Hyunjin, you’ve also built a friendship with the rest of skz, which has lead to you laughing a lot more. Han always cracking jokes, the members playing pranks on Changbin—everyday gave something that made you smile. Until Hyunjin told you how annoying you were.

“You’re so annoying, that wasn’t even that funny.”

“God, your laugh is so obnoxious. Quiet down.”

He’d tell you this so much to the point where you’d stop laughing. He’d notice how quiet you get when he points it out, but he’ll shrug it off as you being “sensitive.”

❀ HAN

Gets bored of your relationship.

Han can’t tolerate staying in a relationship for long. He needs change. This isn’t necessarily bad, but what is bad is that rather than speaking to you, or breaking things off, he cheated on you.

He’d try playing off as falling out of love, but he did love you. He was just bored—wanted something new.

After you broke it off with him, he didn’t even try to keep you. He just let you go. He went on to do this to his next partner as well.

❀ FELIX

Unintentionally patronizing.

Felix would always explain something to you if needed. However, he’d treat you like a baby; like you don’t know anything.

If you need him to explain something more than once, he’ll drop all formality and get kind of irritated with you. He’d speak slower, use “simpler” words, a “teacher-like” tone.

“I’m not a kid, Felix.”

“Yeah, well I obviously have to explain everything to you like you are one. This isn’t hard to understand, stop playing dumb.”

❀ SEUNGMIN

Taking things too personally and blaming you.

Seungmin would often practice singing or dancing in front of you. However, when you’d offer constructive criticism, he’d take it to heart.

“Min, maybe try moving your arm to other side for this part.”

“Seriously? I’ve worked hard on this dance. It looks bad?”

“No, I was just giving advice…?”

“You could’ve told me before we were an hour away from performing.”

His inability to take your advice got worse the longer you two were together. No matter how much you tried, he just wouldn’t take it.

❀ JEONGIN

Neglects feelings/how others feel.

Whenever you and Jeongin would argue, he’d never admit to being in the wrong. He’d constantly come up with some excuse to make it seem like you’re the wrong one. Mostly consisting of invalidating your feelings to make you feel bad.

“Jeongin, you can’t keep staying out this late, we have kids to take care of.”

“You’re here, you can take care of them.”

“Yes, but I can’t do this all day everyday. You’re a parent too.”

“I have way more to worry about than you do. Taking care of a kid should be easy. You’re the one who wanted them.” The only thing you could do was stand there speechless.

“Is he really more concerned about his job than his own partner and kids?” You thought to yourself.
