Things are so peaceful, here... - Gabbie

Hyun-Joon havde haft endnu en dag med at gå rundt og undersøge, opleve så meget som han kunne her i byen - eller, en morgen med det, i alt fald. Nu han ikke gik påskolen men rent faktisk var her fordi han endelig havde en ferie, så gjorde det jo at han havde rigelig med tid til at få set sig lidt omkring, og endda på tidspunkter hvor der ikke var alt for mange folk ude rundt omkring, så han rigtig kunne tage det hele ind og nyde det.

Som det så ofte skete, dog, så efter han havde fået shoppet lidt i gågaden, så havde parken været det der tiltrak ham. Han havde en tendens til automatisk at søge hen mod områder lidt mere fyldt opaf natur, han følte sig bare af en eller anden årsag mere tilpas når han var omringet af natur. han satte sig endda ikke på en af bænkene der var der, men på græsset tæt på den lille å derløb igennem parken, og satte sine poser ved siden af ham.

Idag havde han undgået at blive genkendt, i alt fald indtil videre. Altså, han elskede bandets fans, selvfølgelig gjorde han det, men det var også rart rent faktisk at være ordenligt på ferie uden at skulle skrive autografer og få taget billeder konstant. Så nu sad han der og kørte roligt en hånd igennem sit pinke hår, som han bare nød den relative stilhed, mens hans øjne fulgte en allike lige ovre på den anden side af åen. Den var tættere på ham end en allikenormalt ville være på et menneske, og lod heller ikke til at ladesig mærke meget ved at han bevægede sig... Noget der ofte havde fået andre til at kommentere på at det måtte være lidt af en voldsomt dyretække han havde, og... Tja... De havde vel ret? han var efterhånden bare blevet vandt til det, at de fleste dyr godt kunne lide ham, selv dem der ellers ikke var tamme.

Gabbie havde haft brug for en dag helt for sig selv, uden nogen som helst andre der kendte hende i nærheden og helst også gerne uden at skulle tænke på hvor hendes lille pige var henne, selvom det hele tiden fyldte. Hun var bare nødt til at lade det være op til politiet og sin bror at finde hende og få straffet hendes eks mand.

Det var også derfor at Gabbie denne dag var taget til byen for at shoppe lidt, hun havde købt nogen små ting men ellers ikke noget der ikke kunne være i hendes rygsæk som hun havde på ryggen. Det der med at skulle gå og bære på poser, var ikke noget hun synes var særlig praktisk, medmindre hun havde købt så meget at det ikke kunne være i hendes rygsæk. Gabbie gik direkte igennem parken for at komme over til et sted, hun elskede at komme sammen med sin datter, ikke at det ikke ville få hende til at tænke på sin datter, men så kunne hun mindes alle de gode stunder de havde haft her sammen. Hun kunne se der allerede sad en skikkelse ved åen, det gjorde hende nu ikke så meget, med et stort smil på læberne gik hun roligt hen hvor personen sad, det var lidt svært for hende at se om det var en mand eller kvinde da hun kun kunne se håret og ryggen af personen. Dog var hun allerede vild med personens hårfarve, hvilket jo var en god ting. Hun satte sig forsigtigt ned ved siden af ham, som hun var kommet helt derover. ” håber ikke der er optaget?” Sagde hun med et lille grin, hun havde lidt afstand til personen, så de ikke sad helt klisterede til hinanden.

Hyun-Joon turned around when he heard someone sitting down right next to him - her English sounded to be better than his, although it was still clear she was as much a foreigner here as he was, or at least, that she wasn't as used to speaking English as everybody else around here was. Then again, he couldn't be too hard on himself with that - this was only his second time in England, and you hardly ever had to use English back in South Korea, after all!

"Oh, no, not at all, you can sit down no problem," he told her with a smile, his accent probably a bit too clear with the way he put his pressure on the consonants, which was, after all, vastly different from how a native English speaker would. He looked her over a little, eyes maybe lingering a bit too long on the tattoos - but really, he hadn't ever seen so many tattoos! Tattoos were quite a rarity most places in Asia, so having only really seen them in the western parts of the world, well... Of course he looked. Especially with how many she had - damn, that must've hurt a lot... Which was the main reason he wasn't going to get any tattoos, ever, the pain... That, and well.. It wouldn't be good for his career with the bad associations people in Asia had with tattoos. But he managed to rip his eyes away from her again anyway, smiling as he looked out over the park, over at the bird which had hopped just a meter further off to the side - away from Gabbie, but closer to Emilio, obviously feeling safer near the hybrid than it did with the siren. "Nice day out, isn't it?"

Gabbie så på ham, som han sendte hende et smil, hans smil var dejligt og så ægte, hun glemte helt at fokusere på hvad der blev sagt til hende, hun var fascinerede af hans ansigt og øjne og ikke mindst håret. Hun havde ikke set mange asiater før, men hun havde altid synes at de var noget særligt, de havde en anden form for skønhed end så mange andre mænd havde. ” Thank you… sorry, i was just looking at…. Ohh this sound so fucking weird, but I like your face, its so beautyfull “ Sagde hun og kunne ikke helt lade være med at rødme og kigge væk fra ham. Det var virkeligt flovt som i virkelig flovt, ” Sorry” Sagde hun og kiggede ned på vandet i en den lille bæk der løb, hvor de sad. Hun havde virkelig svært ved at samle sig igen, særligt fordi det ikke lige havde været meningen for hende at hun skulle ende med at sige som hun gjorde, hun havde bare virkelig svært ved at holde det inde.

Hun så godt hvordan, han kiggede på hendes tatoveringer, men det gjorde hende på ingen måde noget, hun elskede blot at de fik opmærksomhed, altså hendes tatoveringer, der var jo også lidt derfor at hun havde fået så mange, og særligt også fordi hun elskede korpsudsmykning. ” yea, pretty much.. I like to sit here, with my daughter, she love it. Sometimes we can sit here for hours and just look at the water and animals” sagde hun næsten drømmende, det var tydeligt at se på hende at hun tænkte tilbage på sidst de havde siddet her. Om det ville komme til at se igen, vidste hun ikke, hun vidste ikke hvor hendes datter var og om hun var i live.. Luca havde heldigvis lovet at hjælpe hende med at få sin datter hjem igen, men Gabbie synes bare tiden gik for langsomt, hvorfor var hun ikke kommet hjem endnu? ”you not here form UK are you? I mean, I know where your form, but I mean… Your English Is as bad as mine when I came to England for first time… I'm best to speak Italian” sagde hun med et smil på læberne og et lille grin, med håbet om han ikke tog det som noget negativt.

"Oh, uhm, well, thanks, i guess? I mean, I don't think our manager would've picked me out for the band if he didn't think others would think so, but, yea, thanks," he chuckled, awkwardly scratching his neck a little - and with the slight embarrassment, his accent just got even clearer, before he muttered a few words to himself in Korean, too, before shaking his head, then turning to smile at her again. After all, the managers only picked people they considered both pretty, good singers, and good dancers as well... You had to have it all, or you weren't going to be picked out. Hyun-Joon just managed to be lucky enough for that, and that they'd gotten success, too, now...

"Oh, you have a daughter? Damn... Most people still consider me a kid..." he then said, smiling a bit to himself. He hadn't even had a girlfriend or anything yet... Nor sex or anything along those lines... he was only 17 but he'd just been working nonstop for the past few years, and in school he'd been concentrating on music and dancing, not any of the girls at school... Sort of felt like he was missing out.

"But uhm, yeah, I'm not. This is my second time here... I just... I mean, I saw a tiny bit of the country when we were here on tour, and it just seemed so.. Nice and relaxed? So I thought a vacation here would do me well, too... Things can be sort of stressed back home in Seoul, sometimes..." especially with the tight schedules you worked when you were a member of a kpop band, and constantly needed to train new dances, make new music, to not be forgotten in the minds of the masses...

Gabbie kunne ikke helt lade være med at grine og alligevel være en anelse flov over hun blot havde udtrykt det hun havde, men hun havde været ærlig. Hun var ikke typen som brugte tid på at lyve, hvad ville man få ud af det? ” your manager? The band?” spurgte hun spørgende indtil det gik op for hende hvad han mente med det hele, så han spillede i band? Fedt! Det gjorde hendes bror jo også, så der var da noget de kunne snakke om? ” Do you play musik? You know in a famous band? That’s nice, my brother do the same” Sagde hun og smilte stort til hende, mon han var her for at spille koncerter? Det kunne da være fedt, hvis han var. Måske hun kunne få nogen billetter? Og så tage sin bror med. Han trængte nok lige så meget som hende til at komme ud og slappe af, selvom hendes datter manglede og hun ikke anede hvor hun var henne. ” Are you here to play concerts?” spurgte hun stille med et lille håb I stemmen.

” yeah i have a daughter of 3 years, she is my little prinsess” Sagde hun og kiggede ned I vandet, hvorfor havde hun nævnt hende! Hun prøvede virkelig at skjule at det gjorde ondt at tale om hende. Han skulle ikke vide at hendes lille pige var blevet kidnappet af hendes egen far! ” How old are you? ” Spurgte hun og sendte ham et stort smil, han så ung ud, men så ung kunne han da heller ikke være at han var et barn? At folk mente han lignede et barn, var jo bare fordi det holde sin krop godt og på en ordentlig måde. ”You look young to me, but not that young” Sagde hun og sende ham et opmunterende smil.

” ohh you not here for playing concerts? You are on holidays?” sagde hun med et lille grin, det var lidt sjovt at hun først havde antaget at han var her for at spille koncerter. Hun kunne ikke lade være med at grine lidt akavet over det. ”If you will, I can become your guide if you want to?” Sagde hun med et lille grin. ” just as you know, I don’t know every places here” sagde hun og kunne ikke lade være med at grine over en af de første dage hun var i byen her, hun var faret vild på vej ned for at handle til tros for hun havde haft adressen på sin gps på mobilen.

"Uhm... Yeah... Well, I don't really play music as such, like, not any instruments or anything... I sing and dance... It's a Kpop band, you know? I'm one of our main dancers and rappers," he said with a slight chuckle and awkwardly scratched the back of his neck. But yea... It was himself and Hoya who did all the rapping in the band, and most of the dance solos.. "But yeah, we were here last year, and we're hoping to come back for another concert here next year. But this time I'm here alone, so yeah. I just wanted to see a bit more of the country, I guess, than just London."

He blushed a bit when she asked how old he was, though. He wasn't too happy talking about that, as many people often treated him differently as soon as they knew just how young he was. But eventually, he cleared his throat, and got around to answering her. "Oh. Uhm, well, I'm 17. That's why our manager got the apartment for me. I wouldn't have been able to buy it myself..." he admitted, looking away for a bit before returning his gaze to her, to see her reaction.

"But sure, sounds nice. At least just to have someone to walk around with sounds nice. I mean, like, it's a bit weird for me to walk around alone, actually. Back at home there's usually at least a bodyguard with me at all times when I'm out of the house..." he then said, a broad, happy smile on his lips when she offered to show him around.

Gabbie måtte nok sande at hun ikke vidste hvad det var han præcist talte om Kpop? Hun havde vidst aldrig hørt det ord før eller havde hun? Hun var i tvivl om det, men det virkede ikke til at være noget med rock at gøre, da han snakkede om at han dansede og var rapper. ” Hvad mener du med kpop? Jeg er ikke helt sikker på jeg ved hvad det er” Sagde hun en anelse usikker til ham, måske hun faktisk var en anelse flov over det? Hun kendte jo til en hel del genre indenfor musikkens verden men dette lød anderledes og ikke noget hun kendte. Det kunne godt være hun kendte det, hvis hun kom til at høre noget af det, men lige nu sagde det hende intet. ” Har du noget af det på din mobil? Jeg er tvivl om, om jeg faktisk ved hvad genre det er ” Sagde hun og kunne godt mærke hvordan hendes kinder blussede en anelse røde, måske mere end hun havde lyst til at de skulle gøre.

” Hvordan er det så at være på ferie alene i et helt andet land? Jeg kunne godt tænke mig at prøve at komme med til den koncert i skal have næste år, hvis jeg må? Hvor kan man købe billetterne?” Spurgte hun roligt, med et stort smil. Gabbie kunne godt se på ham at han ikke var glad for at få det spørgsmål, det var måske heller ikke det spørgsmål man bryd sig allermest om at høre. Men han svarede da på det og var ikke afvisende, dog kom det som en overraskelse at han var så ung som han var, 17 år og alene i England? Hvordan kunne hans forældre give ham lov til dette? Gabbie ville aldrig lade sin datter rejse rundt i verden alene mens hun var under 18 år. Dog valgte hun ikke at kommentar på det lige netop dette. ” Du er ung, men du er en pæn ung mand” sagde hun sendte ham et opmuntrende smil og kærligt blik til ham. ” hvorfor bor du ikke sammen med dine forældre? Hvis det er okay jeg spørger? Du behøver ikke at svare” Sagde hun og smilte lidt usikkert til ham, hun var ikke ude på at gøre ham fortræd eller genere ham på nogen måde, hun var blot nysgerrig.

Hun kunne ikke lade være med at grine lidt over hans udtale om at det var underligt at gå rundt alene når han derhjemme var vant til at have mindst en bodyguard sammen med sig hele tiden. ” Det kunne jeg forstille mig, men jeg kan godt være din bodyguard her ?” Sagde hun drillende og grinte lidt af det. ” Hvor længe har du tænkt dig at blive her? Altså hvornår rejser du hjem igen?” Spurgte hun med et smil, det var egentligt mest for at hun så kunne danne sig et overblik over hvad hun skulle vise ham først af ting man bare var nødt til at skulle se, af det hun selv havde set og kendte til altså.

Well, it wasn't the first time someone didn't know what k-pop was, so he really didn't take it to heart or anything like it - either you didn't know it, or you knew it, and either loved or hated it - it seemed like their type of music was very polarizing, at least, if one would judge by all the fans and all the haters out there, too.

"I'm not surprised... Many people in the west don't know anything about it," he said with a small smile, making sure she knew he wasn't disappointed or offended, or anything like it, really. "It's short for 'Korean pop'... So it's simply just because it's easier to say, that it's called k-pop instead. It's like... Idunno... A slightly more hard-pounding or at times electronic version of your.... Boybands, I think it's called?" he said, slightly unsure, but he believed that was what it was called, wasn't it? Anyway, he smiled and nodded when she asked if he had any on his phone. "Well, not just lying around on it, but I can quickly find something from the concert we had here a few months ago, hang on..." he said, and quickly got into youtube and found the video he wanted to show her, since it was one of their most popular songs and dances.

He simply let her watch 'till the end, a small smile on his face, and when she asked how it was being on vacation here alone, he shrugged. "It's okay. I mean, it's a bit lonely at times, I guess, but at other times it's nice finally having some time to myself and proper privacy." he never had that in the shared apartment back home... But the blush returned with a vengeance when she said he was a handsome young man - he knew it, most people said it, it was another sort-of criteria to be in a k-pop band - but he still really didn't know how to respond when people told him.

"Oh. Uhm..." he sighed, and looked away, as that sort of stung to think about. "I... Well, I haven't lived with my step parents for the past... 2½ years, I think? I just live with the other members in our shared apartment. Our management takes care of everything for us, there... Rent, bills, all of it..." he said, and shrugged. To him, that was just his average, normal life, after all.

"And I'm staying here for just about a month before I have to go back." he then said with a small smile. He'd been really lucky to get that time off, so he was damn sure that he was going to use it to it's fullest potential! "And it could be nice to walk around with a new friend,"

// Videoen han viser hende: link her

Gabbie var helt med på at han ikke var skuffet eller følte det som noget negativt, det kunne hun sagens se og høre på ham. Hun viste bare ikke hvad det var, eller måske gjorde hun når hun så det. Det var fedt at han ikke var indelukket med det og ikke bare afviste hende så snart at hun indrømmede hun ikke vidste hvad det var. Hun kunne nu ikke helt lade være med at grine lidt som han prøvede at forklare det. ” you sweet”” sagde hun og grinte lidt af ham. Hun havde aldrig selv været til boybands eller anden form for pop, men hun håbede at Kpop var anderledes end det hun kendte for pop, for det var virkelig noget lort… Mange af de unge drenge og piger der prøvede sig på pop, var bare en stor fiasko, måske det var derfor hun var endt over i den anden genre? Altså rock, metal og sådan noget? Ellers var det bare fordi hun havde sin storebrors gener i sig, det var ikke til at vide. Hun tog imod mobilen som han fandt en video og der gik da heller ikke længe fra den var gået i gang til at hun ikke helt kunne lade være med at ”danse” med på musikken som de sad der i græsset. ” Dammn, thats good, really I mean. Normally I don’t like pop or something like that, but this, this is soooo great! I love it! sagde hun med et stort smil på læberne, nop hun havde ikke vidst hvad det var, heller da hun så vidoen hun havde vist aldrig hørt den slags musik før men dammn det var nu alligevel godt og slet ikke i nærheden af det hun viste pop var. ” How long have you played music?” Spurgte hun med et stort smil op læberne og kunne ikke lade være med at starte sangen forfra som den sluttede.

Efter at have hørt sangen og set videoen en ekstra gang rakte hun hans mobil tilbage til ham, det var sjovt at se hvordan musik kunne være så meget anderledes rundt om i verdenen. ” loneliness i know all about that, before I came her to England is was lonely, with my daughter. But now I’m not.. And you just got yourself a new friend” Sagde hun med et stort smil til ham, venner kunne man altid bruge og måske virkede det lidt på ham som om han godt kunne bruge en ven som ikke bare ville være venner med ham fordi han var kendt og populær. Hun vidste ikke hvordan det var at være kendt og populære og alle ville snakke med en, men kun fordi man var det.. Hun havde ikke selv prøvet det, men hun havde da set nogle af hendes brors fans og det var virkelig fake, særligt de unge piger som hun havde set omkring ham og sådan..

At han ikke havde boet hos sine stedforældre i 2½ år fik det til at gøre lidt ondt på hende, det virkede heller ikke helt som om han havde det helt godt med det. ” can i ask why?” Spurgte hun stille og lagde en blid hånd på hans. ” Its okay, if you wanna talk about it you can tell me?”sagde hun spørgende til ham, hun ville heller ikke masse sig for meget på omkring det, men hun kendte det godt eller gjorde hun? Hun mistede sine brødre for mange år tilbage, fordi de fik nok og bare ville videre, hun kunne nok ikke sammenligne det på den måde, men der måtte være noget galt, siden en ung fyr på hans alder valgte at flytte fra sin familie.

” only a month? Then we have to start now, what do you want to see?” spurgte hun og prøede at peppe det hele lidt op for at få smilende og den gode stemning tilbage i den unge fyr. ” I had to ask, can you help to learn saying your name right? sagde hun med et lille grin, faktisk var hun i tvivl om de overhovedet havde udvekslet navne, det var lidt flovt men det kunne være at hun kunne redde den sådan.

A slight blush lit up his cheeks when she called him sweet, and well, since he didn't know what to say to that, he just shrugged and smiled instead, before finding the video and handing her the phone. "Aww, thanks! Means a lot to me... I mean, I can sort of guess what you might usually listen to, if your looks match." he said with a small smile, referring to people usually preferring rock liking tattoos and all of that, too. "I've been in the band since I was 13... So just about 4 years now. I practiced singing and dancing for as long as I can remember, though." he then said with a small smile, as he took his phone back when she was done watching.

A huge smile lit up his face when she mentioned he had a new friend in her, though - he loved making new friends, especially when it was someone he was sure didn't say they liked him just because of his fame and all that. This was just so nice - good thing she'd sort of stumbled over him, here!

But his expression turned a lot more somber when the talk landed on parents and all of that, and he sighed and shrugged when she put a hand on top of his. "Well, really, it's how it's done with every kpop band. You always live together with your band, not your family. Not that I ever felt like I belonged in that family, anyway." he had always felt like he was just the odd one out, even though his step parents were as loving as could be, he just always felt... Different. And he had no idea why - but this simple touch from Gabbie reminded him of one of the ways he felt sort of different from others. This deep connection he felt from just that small touch, how acutely he could feel her emotions in that moment, just as clear as day as if they were his own... He'd talked to his step parents about this once before, and they'd just told him it had to have been a coincidence, or he just thought he felt something that wasn't there. But he knew it wasn't the truth - because it happened every single time he had skin-on-skin contact with somebody.

But the smile was soon back on his face at the mentioning of looking at what the cities had to offer, and he sort of pulling his hand back to himself - bodily contact could give him such an emotional overload, after all. "Well, I don't really know what's worth looking at around here - though I do tend to like looking at whatever pretty landscapes might be around. I'm not much of a museum or monument type of guy... It's more nature and malls that're interesting to me," he grinned. He had just always been fascinated by nature, and felt so much calmer around it... Which was part of the reason as to why he'd taken a break at this park.

Gabbie kunne ikke helt lade være med at bemærke at han fik en anelse rødme i kinderne, det gjorde det hele bare mere sødt, synes hun. Selvom han var ung, kunne hun vel godt synes at han var pæn? Sød det var han i hvert fald, det var der ingen tvivl om. Dog kunne hun ikke helt lade være med at grine at hans svar, ” I know that, you are not the first to telling me that” Sagde hun med et grin og stort smil, det var på ingen måde fordi det generede hende at han sagde det, hun var vant til det og tog det ikke så tungt som mange andre nok ville gøre. Det var jo heller ikke fordi hun ikke kunne høre andens slags musik end det hun normalt gjorde? Det kunne hun sagens men det var ikke hendes ynglings, men hun var helt sikker på at hun ville prøve at høre mere af denne form for musik. Thats nice, really! I could imagine that it’s not always easy to be young and famous? I mean, with school and other stuff?” sagde hun og så ham usikkert men med et smil på læben, hun vidste ikke hvordan det var at være berømt og være i den alder, hun havde jo aldrig selv været det? Det var nu heller ikke fordi hun bare valgte at forstille sig at det kun ville være svært og fyldt med udfordringer, det kunne sagens men at være på den alder 17 år og berømt? Hun havde set det fra youtube og sådan, hvordan unge kæmpede med deres liv når først de var blevet berømte.

Det var ikke svært at se på ham at han nok helt ikke ville tale så meget om dette emne som samtalen var landet på, det gjorde hende usikker og en anelse trist, selvom det var normalt for dem at de flyttede sammen når man var en del af et Kpop band, det vidste hun ikke noget om men at hun kunne høre på hans stemme at han ikke havde det helt godt med sin familie, det var underligt for hende og alligevel ikke? Var det ikke derfor hendes brødre skred fra hende og deres mor i sin tid? Fordi de ikke hørte til i havet længere? ” sorry, it wasn’t my opinion to make you sad? I can see on you it isn’t something I want to talk about, and it’s okay I understand you, but if you want to one day, then tell me” sagde hun og lagde en blid hånd på hans for at vise at hun sagens kunne forstå at det var svært at tale om en familie man ikke følte man var en del af. ” it’s cool that you live with your band, it’s your family remember that sweety” Sagde hun uden helt at vide om han så dem sådan, men det måtte han næsten gøre. Man valgte ikke selv sine forældre, men man kunne selv vælge sin familie, sådan havde Gabbie det hvis man spurgte hende, bare fordi man havde samme efternavn var det ikke ens betydning med at man så dem som sin familie.

At Joon ikke var til museums og monumenter og sådanne ting gjorde slet ikke Gabbie noget, hun ville nok også et sted hellere se på naturen og sådanne ting end bare at skulle gå rundt indenfor i en bygningen i en klam dunst af sved og dårlig parfumer samt folk der virkelig lod som om de havde forstand på det de gik og snakkede om, nope det var ting der kunne få Gabbie til at få kvalme.. ” it’s okay, i don’t like that too” sagde hun med et lille grin og så ned på vandet, havde hun haft Angel med herud, havde de ikke fået lov at gå nogen steder før om et par timer, men det havde hun ikke. Hun måtte lige synke et par gange for ikke at lade sine følelser får overhånd på det område det ville hun ikke.. ” uhm i don’t know what we could start with? But google is my friend, so maybe google can tell us? Sagde hun med et grin og tog sin mobil op af lommen for at begynde at søge på hvad de skulle starte med at se. ” Do you like Historical things?” spurgte hun med et smil? Det kunne godt være at sådan noget måske virkede museums agtigt men det var bare slet ikke på samme måde som at gå og glo på kunst.

Well, Hyun-Joon was really just happy that she didn't mind him saying what he'd just said, fearing he'd stereotyped her too much - but maybe he'd just been right, then? Who knew, he was just happy she hadn't gotten offended or something! "Ah, yeah... That was sort of difficult. I'm really just happy I'm done with regular school, now, so it's just the music and all. We had to take the online courses with a home teacher checking up on us once in a while. We only ever went to the school for exams, and boy, was it a fuzz every time we showed up..." he sighed, but then smiled, clearly very happy to be done with his base education so he could concentrate on his dancing and singing.

"... Maybe some day. Just... Not right now. I don't even really know how I really feel about it, so no use talking about it." he then said, shrugging, but not looking at her while his thoughts circled on just how different he felt from his adoptive family, much more than any other adopted kids he'd known throughout his - rather short - life.

"I guess they are." he then just said to the thing with the band being his family, offering Gabbie a small smile - though, really, even with the band he felt rather like the odd one out at times. Not as often as with his adoptive family, though, so that was a big plus. But the smile turned a lot more genuine, and bigger, when the talk fell on what to do now. "Oh, sure, as long as it's outside and all, I don't mind. Like, it's not my go-to, but if we can just stay outside and all, that'll be cool," he said with a slight grin, running a hand through his pink hair before he got up, straightening his clothes a bit and doing a small stretch, then reaching down a hand to her, silently offering to help her back up.

Det var fedt at høre om det han lavede til dagligt og et sted kunne hun faktisk godt forstå at han var glad for at være færdig med skolen, tanken om at skulle rende rundt som mega kendt på en skole i ens hjemland ville blive ekstrem irriterende og hele tiden skulle have fans hængende omkring sig eller de her falske venner som kun vil være venner med en fordi man er berømt, jep Gabbie ville nok ende med at brække sig over det til sidst. ” Kunne levende forstille mig hvor dejligt det er at være færdig med skolen og bare kunne koncentrere sig om det man brænder for og lever for. ” Sagde hun og sendte ham et stort smil.

Gabbie kunne sagens forstå ham, at han ikke havde lysten til at snakke om det. Hun havde heller ikke lysten til at snakke ret meget om hendes fortid eller hvordan hendes liv havde været, slet ikke en til en man ikke rigtigt kendte. Måske det kom en dag, det var ikke til at vide. Gabbie havde i hvert fald ikke tænkt sig at presse på for at få ham til at fortælle hende det. ” Hvis du vil fortælle om det en dag så siger du bare til, så tager vi den der fra” Sagde hun for at afslutte den del, han skulle ikke bekymre sig om at Gabbie ville have ham til at snakke om det.

” udenfor? Måske vi kan finde noget, men er ikke helt sikker, er du sulten? Vi kan finde et sted at få noget frokost? Jeg vil gerne give, det skal du ikke tænke på?” sagde hun sendte ham et stort smil. Ved at de kunne finde et sted at spise, gav Gabbie bedre muligheder for at finde ud af hvad der var af ting de kunne se. Gabbie vidste ikke hvor meget der var i området eller om de skulle afsted til en anden by. ” Kan du lide Harry potter?” Spurgte hun med et stort smil til ham.

"Yeah, it's nice. It's a bit stressful, too, though - we can't ever relax, or the popularity might decline, and, well, that'll lead to less fans and less money, so of course we have to work our butts off all the time... Which's why this is probably my first ever real vacation, like, ever. So I'm going to enjoy it as much as I can," he grinned, leaning back, supporting himself on his arms as he looked up into the clear blue sky, a big smile plastered across his face, thinking about the ups of his job - he rarely ever dwelt on the negatives, but then again, he was generally a really positive person, so that just might be why.

"Maybe someday. Not now, and definitely not out here. I mean, why be out here and be sad, when it's such good weather and I've just gotten a new friend? There's so much more to be happy about!" he then said, the slightly sad expression from before quickly melting back into another bright grin.

"I guess I'm a bit hungry, yeah. D'you know any good spots around here?
