chapter 1

The painted and carved features dominates the once (s/c) base, every color was rather simple, yet bold and painted with such precise lines that it almost looks like a mosaic.

The facial features.

They are curved yet sharply defined; they seem to stable but tumble at the same time. Like Jimin, so stable but always in free-fall inside.

Jimin was soft, but could lampoon people who spark his anxieties without meaning to. He is bright, but there really isn't anything of substance inside.

But he hoped so for these dummies that he’s worked so, so very hard on.

He hoped that there is more meaning in the plastic bones that he created other than using them as an object for testing, tumbling colors, chaotic and shallow.

Jimin chewed on his bottom lip as he held his breath. 

His dark eyes were widened in focus.

He brought his face close to the plastic one as he brought the blue tweezers in his steady hand closer to the eye.

’Almost there..’ He mentally notes.

”I got it!” He cheered aloud, setting the blue tweezers aside on a small silver tray.

He just attached the last eyelash to the male’s eye.

Jimin grinned and let out a sigh of relief. Jimin stepped back with his hands on his hips as he admired his finished products.

The male dummy was probably one, if not, the best thing he was ever created. 

The male dummy had a round face, but also had a strong jawline. He had a longer nose, and a smaller chin.

His complexion was a pale, flawless type.

The dummy had a small mouth with an obvious Cupid's bow. His lips were smooth and a dark rosy color, his upper lip was thinner but his bottom lip was thicker.

His eyes were a dark mocha. They were round and doe like with thin double eyelids.  He also had dark, thick, perfectly sculpted eyebrows.

His hair was an ebony shade and it was soft, neatly combed and carefully styled.

His build was very slim, but also very masculine. His tiny waist gave him good body proportions too. The male dummy had long legs as well, it was actually taller than Jimin.

Smiling at the satisfaction of his work, Jimin's gaze shifted over to the female dummy.

The lines of her body were clean and symmetrical; it was a body which occasionally fell into splendid poses; there was no suggestion of the trim, stereotyped fashion-plate about it.

She had wolfish (e/c) eyes like limpid pools of gold that adorned her exceptionally (s/c) face, soft (h/c) hair that tumbled over her shoulders like a fountain of molten obsidian, an aquiline nose, and chalky pink lips that were blue with cold.

Jimin would go back later to fill in the color of her lips to make them a rosy color as well.

Her face shone in the watery white light above. It burst in beams through the almost complete cloud layer above to cast transitory spotlights.

”Wow,” Jimin breathed. “I’m good.”
