Leesha didn't think she had a problem. She wasn't overly skinny. She didn't look like she had an eating disorder and in her opinion, if she didn't look like she had a problem, she didn't have one. The only problem she did have was people not leaving her alone. She sat in the hot tub with her favorite wig and her green bikini. This place didn't seem to care too much about its students doing things they shouldn't so she had a bottle of wine with her. she had a few shots to start things of before starting on her favorite white wine. She knew she shouldn't. Her father was a preacher man. She should be a good girl and do all the right things but Leesha was sick of the pressure. Her family had practically dumped her here. They abandoned her so why shouldn't she do what she wanted? Half the bottle was already gone and the heat from the hot tub was speeding up it's effects. Leesha was already fairly drunk by now but all she was doing was sitting back with her eyes closed, enjoying the water jets and the warmth of the hot tub. She could sit her all night if no one bothered her.

Tae Min giggled as he ran away from the staff member who was looking after him, for his own safety of course because he was still mentally a child. He clapped his hands some as he came to a stop by a room he'd not yet entered. Though, since he had only been here for around a week he couldn't, realistically, been able to enter every room. Since he still had his special lessons and he'd had a therapy session and there was friends to be made and staff to hide from at meal times. The there was the Winchester's and their insisting that Tae Min still have a "bed time routine" even if the boy only slept when his body forced him to by shutting down.
He blinked and looked around, realizing now that it was quite dark and that he wasn't at all sure where he was. He whimpered a little, not able to see anyone else before hugging his stuffed toy - a fairy apparently - to his chest, babbling a little in a mix of Korean and English trying to obtain the attention of one of his delusions. When that didn't work he shifted and tried to read the label by the door telling him what room it was. He didn't recognize the first word but when he saw that the second said 'pool' he opened the door.
He gave a soft giggle as he toddled inside before turning and closing the door behind him. Once it was closed he looked around and began to wander through the room, wanting to see if there was anyone here - and if there was if they'd play with him. That, and he really wanted company. Especially since he really really hated the dark and without his ~friends it was scary when it got late. "Annyeong...?" he called out in a greeting, in case someone was there. ___________________________________________________________________________ Word Count around 300 Inspiration nothing & cousins Tags tae min & leesha Status Complete Template By Arro @ Caution 2.0 Picture By photobucket !

Alicia felt quite comfortable here. She was even grateful for the fact that she had the place to herself this evening. Usually there would be a few people who decided a dip in the pool would be a nice idea and Leesha couldn't blame them. She loved the water. She would go swimming all the time if she could but there hadn't been much of a chance for that back home.
She swirled the water around gently with her fingers. Eyes still closed as she thought about things. She felt so relaxed here but she knew this was wrong. What would her father say if he knew she had alcohol? He wouldn't be happy at all. There would probably be a 40 minute lecture on how wrong it was. He might even draw her a few graphs and mind maps to emphasize his point.
It was stranger being here. She knew that her parents probably wouldn't find out but it still felt a little wrong, like she was doing something bad. There was a tinge of guilt but it was soon washed away by the water jets and Leesha resigned herself to enjoying the water and the warmth of it.
Leesha was almost drifting off to sleep at this point. The alcohol and the hot tub were making her a little tired. She stirred a little and yawned when she heard giggling, sitting forward a little. Falling asleep would have been a bad thing. She could have drowned but the girl hadn't thought of that.
She heard a voice and turned, trying to see where it was coming from. It sounded young. "Who's there?" she asked. She wouldn't mind some company now. Her choices were, stay awake or get out of the hot tub and get some sleep. It had been a long day and the last thing she needed was to get her wig wet and ruin it. It looked real though, that was the point. Only the best quality for Leesha so that everyone would think it was real.

It was rare for Tae Min to ever do something wrong intentionally - most of the time he wasn't even aware he was doing something wrong. However running away at meal times or 'bed time' he knew was wrong. But he didn't really mind because he didn't want to hang around for them because it meant less time playing, and he'd hate that. Because for the physically young, and mentally younger, Korean boy fun and games were the best way to go through life. Saying that he was still only four mentally so that could be a reason for his childish thinking.
He looked around the room curiously, coming to a stop after he spoke. His head turned, eyes fixing on the door for a moment, wanting to make sure no one was coming since he didn't want to get in trouble before the sound of a woman's voice made him turn back around, wanting to find her. "Hello?" He called again, in English this time as he made his way forward, hoping that he was heading in the right direction to get to the owner of the voice. He assumed he was, but remembered his sister saying something about indoor pools being echo-y.
Eventually he found her and giggled once more, jogging forward the last couple of steps before he came to a stop, making sure to avoid the edge of the hot tub where he could see a bottle of something, not that he could read the label or anything. "I'm Tae Min." he said to her with a grin as he sat down on the floor, watching the water curiously, since he'd never been near a hot tub before really purely to avoid possible accidents - because would you really give a child access to a hot tub? Not a good idea I can assure you. ___________________________________________________________________________ Word Count 312 Inspiration nothing ;A; Tags tae min & leesha Status Complete Template By Arro @ Caution 2.0 Picture By photobucket !

She turned to identify the source but her eyes were already half closed. She was getting tired but the water just felt so good. The jets against her back were soothing and she didn't want to leave the hot tub. Leesha didn't have one back home. They had a nice house an nice things but it was never too extravagant. Her father never liked to show off and felt no need to have these status symbols so whenever she got the chance to enjoy it, Leesha would take it.
She smiled when she heard the hello. "Marco!," she called out playing the familiar kids game. You would call out 'marco' and the other person would reply 'polo!' and she would still use it with her friends in a crowd to find them. It was so much easier that way. There was a lot of echoing going on in there which didn't help but it wasn't massively huge so she knew the stranger would find her eventually.
She smiled when she saw the boy. He looked absolutely adorable with that stuffed toy. It was cute really and he was obviously no threat to anyone. "I'm Alicia," she said with a smile, leaning back and enjoying the jets again. He seemed young but she knew he couldn't be too young. It was just the way he held himself that did it. Still, he was clearly a teenager and that was enough for her to be polite and offer him a drink. "Want a drink?" she asked, pushing the bottle toward him.

Tae Min's eyes were wide with curiosity as he toddled around, listening to the sounds that echoed. The sounds of the hot tub and of what he thought were his own feet. Or, he hoped that was the case anyway because he didn't really want to run into any monsters here. He glanced down at his feet for a moment checking that it was his feet making the noise. It was, since he was wearing his favourite pair of custom rainbow converse that his dad's had gotten him. His smile faded slightly as he walked before returning again as he reassured himself it was his feet making the echo-y noises.
He jumped when she called out 'marco' and, not sure what to respond with, he remained silent and just travelled a little faster to the sound of her voice. He really wanted to find out who it was, since he didn't think he recognised her voice, but he'd been wrong before. He cuddled his stuffed toy a little tighter as he walked, only relaxing his grip when he eventually found the source of the voice. The source being that of what the boy could only see as 'a pretty lady'. He smiled as he sat down, patting the toy's 'head' as he looked at the water in the hot tub, his eyes practically fixed upon it - probably because it was new to him.
Because of that he didn't notice she'd spoken to him for a short while. Eventually it was the movement of the bottle that caught his eye. He looked startled for a moment before looking to the bottle and shaking his head. Not only wasn't he allowed that - both because of his physical and mental age were too low - but he wouldn't dare touch it. It smelled weird and since it wasn't water it counted as food to Tae Min. "No no." he babbled, repeatedly shaking his head, pulling the 'fairy' up to cover his face when he stopped shaking his head. After a moment he squirmed and lowered the toy with a mumble of, "Bad." and a nod of his head. ___________________________________________________________________________ Word Count 370?

He didn't say Polo and Alicia just smiled. Obviously the stranger just didn't know how that worked. They used to do it all the time in pools. It was a fun game as a kid.
She watched him staring at the water. He definitely didn't look like he was dressed for the pool so what was he even doing here? "Do you want to get in?" she asked, just being polite. He looked like he wanted to get in, at least in her opinion.
Alicia wasn't going to push him to do anything. It was just odd having a boy sit there with a stuffed toy while she was in a hot tub relaxing. It was almost like he should join her. She wondered for a moment if that would actually help before deciding it wouldn't. He just seemed so much like a little kid.. It was off really.
Leesha couldn't help but laugh at his reaction. It was so darn cute. He really was like a little kid and she was the youngest in her family. Leesha had always wondered what it would be like to have a younger sibling. She nodded at him not waiting it and pulled it back. "More for me then," she said quietly despite not actually drinking anymore of it. "Who's that?" she asked, pointing at his toy. Kids always named them, didn't they?

Tae Min sniffed a little as he sat there, his eyes constantly darting every now and then, curious about the room. Though, mostly he just stared at the water in the hot tub since it was different to normal pool water and he didn't understand why is was or how it was happening. Though, even if someone tried to explain it to him he probably still wouldn't get it. it was pretty hard teaching him new things, since his mind was still under-developed and he had to try and remember twice as many words since the Winchester's didn't want him to forget his Korean heritage and encouraged him to keep speaking the language - even going as far as to get CD's and DVD's for him where everything was Korean.
He blinked when he heard her question before slowly shaking his head. "Noooo" he mumbled, not wanting to since the water was behaving differently to normal so he wasn't sure if it was safe or not - even though she was in it. That was probably all the more of a reason for him not to considering his dislike of being close to women - other than his adoptive sister. So really, she had no chance of getting him in something strange. It's not that he thinks her a bad person, he just doesn't like females for whatever reason. Don't worry though, he's not dangerous, I promise. He shifted a little as he sat there and stroked his toy's head before setting it carefully on the floor next to him and lying down on his side facing her so he could keep talking. He wasn't going to sleep, he was just getting comfy.
He smiled quite happily as he lay there, playing with his toy some, letting Alicia think and then speak before he looked at her curiously. He nodded when she said about there being more for her before freezing when she asked his toy's name. Quickly he shook his head. "Not say." he nodded, he knew it's name obviously but just like his 'magic friend' no one else could know the name. "bad." he mumbled, clutching the stuffed toy to his chest as he lay there, watching the water. For a while he lay there in silence before wriggling a little, his eyes seeking her out, "Leesha?" he asked, unable to correctly pronounce her name yet but wanting to ask her something. ___________________________________________________________________________ Word Count 417 Inspiration u-kiss' neverland album Tags tae min & leesha Status Complete Template By Arro @ Caution 2.0 Picture By photobucket !

Alicia laughed a little at the No. "That's fine," she said with a smile. "I'm not about to make you do anything you don't wanna do," she promised him. She was more than happy to just sit there and talk. Besides, this guy seemed interesting.. And perfectly safe which was always a good thing in a place like this.
She just stayed on when he wouldn't say its name. That was odd.. Or was it? Might be one of those kid things but then he wasn't a kid, was he? He sure acted like one and that was enough for Leesha to see him as a kid. "Alright, I won't ask again," she said, happy to drop the subject altogether. Maybe it was one of those little pretend games and he couldn't say its name? Who even knows.
Leesha had a stuffed toy when she was little. A cotton bunny in a blue dress that she used to dragged around with her everywhere... Except school, the bunny wasn't allowed at school, but daddy would still let her take it to church so that it could listen to his sermons and be a good bunny. Of course, she was only about five and eventually grew out of it.. It seemed like this kid just never did.
"Yes?" she asked with a smile. Happy to talk about almost anything now. She felt comfortable here in the water. The jets felt amazing and everything was nice and warm. She felt happy and that didn't always happen so easily so Leesha was determined to make the most of it.

Tae Min's eyes mostly stayed fixed on the water or on Alicia, but when they did wander it was either to try and remember parts of the room or he thought he'd seen something out of the corner of his eye. It was hard to get him to sit still thanks to his multiple imaginary friends. But he wasn't totally crazy and it wasn't schizophrenia, since his mental age was only four so they couldn't really diagnose it as more than just delusional disorder. Besides, at least he seemed aware that other people couldn't see most of his ~friends. Even if he wasn't aware it didn't matter, they didn't tell him anything bad, they really were just there to play with him when he didn't think anyone else was, so it was okay. Right?
Hearing the promise that she wouldn't make him do anything he didn't want to Tae Min's face broke into a huge grin. He liked people like this. Nice and good people in his opinion. He really didn't like people who made him do things he didn't want to. Just like people who said he was bad or other nasty names. He didn't like them either. Because he was a good boy, his daddy's told him so, therefore it had to be true because they never ever lied because lying is wrong. Or so he'd been taught by the Winchester's. He wriggled a little, cuddling his toy as he curled up into a little ball, his smile gradually getting smaller - not because he was sad but his face was hurting a little from the huge smiles he kept pulling.
He played with his toy a little, running his hands over it his dark eyes fixed on it for the moment before he gave a slight giggle and looked at Alicia. Then after a short while he came up with the question for her. After getting her attention he shifted and pointed to the water in the hot tub. "why... uhm... funny?" he asked her, genuinely curious. By 'funny' he meant 'weird' or 'different' he just couldn't say either of those words so just had to do things this way. It wasn't a bad thing though, since the way he was meant you could just fob him off with some answer like 'it's magic water that's always warm and makes you feel better' or something. He'd probably believe you. ___________________________________________________________________________ Word Count 425 Inspiration SHINee sherlock&dream girl albums Tags tae min & leesha Status Complete Template By Arro @ Caution 2.0 Picture By photobucket !

Leesha just smiled when the guy grinned. He was like a little kid. He seemed all safe and harmless and that was always a good thing. Leesha wasn't about to fool herself into thinking this school was all rainbows and candy floss.. She knew exactly how bad it was here. She was aware that there were violent level fives around and she knew to avoid them but then there were nice people who were perfectly safe to be around, like this guy.
Leesha stared down at the water jets going and wandered for a moment what it was he meant. It took a second to figure out that he meant all the bubbles. "Oh," she said, sitting back to get a better look at the jets. "It's just the water jets," she told him, putting hand over it. "It makes a lot of bubbles," she said with a smile. Bubbles were fun, kids understood that. "You can feel it if you want. It's safe," she told him. It was fine if he wanted to put his hand over it and feel it. It wouldn't hurt him.

Because he was so obviously not a threat, he was the type of person some of the crueler more manipulative patients could very well use. Especially since he was, usually, quite obedient and didn't often ask questions when he was told to do something, he just did it no matter what it was really. But, so far there had only been once incident and no one had gotten hurt so it was all forgotten. Or, it was all forgotten for Tae Min anyway. It wasn't that he had a bad memory per-say it was more a case of he wasn't able to access as much 'storage space' in his brain as normal fifteen year old's and so couldn't remember as much useless crap as others so he was very selective about what he remembered.
He shifted a little, fiddling with his toy as he waited to find out why the hot tub water looked different to normal water. His hand found it's way back to his mouth, his thumb resting in it as he listened to Alicia and nodded some before giving a whine and shaking his head, not wanting to touch it even though she said it was safe. Why was that? Because he didn't completely trust her, if only because she was a woman and for whatever reason he wasn't a fan of women. He let his hand fall from his mouth, eyes still on the water. "magic bubbles?" he asked her genuinely curious. He quite liked magic things. After all he had a magic imaginary friend and his favourite toy was something he called a 'fairy' so yeah. ___________________________________________________________________________ Word Count idfk Inspiration nada?

Leesha giggled at the boy's reaction. He was so darn cute! He might be older than he acted but he was still a lot like a little kid and Leesha had always wanted a little brother. It was no surprise that this was the first thing to pop into her head. He was like acute little kid, just absolutely adorable in her opinion.
Leesha could have tried to explain the bubbles but it was easier to go along with it. "Yes, magic bubbles," she said with a smile. It was easier to stick with that story then to try and explain how water jets worked considering she had no idea and no real technical knowledge of any of it.
"But look," she told him, pushing the button on the hot tub. "I can stop it," she told him, the water did stop. The button she pressed was only to turn it on and off. "If you press it, it'll start up again," she told him, allowing him to press it and play with the bubbles if he wanted to. That way, he wouldn't have to touch the bubbles, he could just turn it on and off.. like magic.

Tae Min shifted, his hands fiddling with his stuffed toy as he sat there moving his legs so they were flat in front of him as he moved his feet some, just happy being here with another person rather than alone somewhere creepy - especially when it was dark like now. He really really didn't like the dark, which was weird because he rarely slept so he was often up in the dark. Saying that, he'd always had lamps and things on during the night when he played. He was perfectly happy playing alone at night, he was use to it in fact since the Winchester's all, usually, went to sleep apart from the few times when one of his dad's would sit up and play with him to make sure he was staying safe and didn't accidentally hurt himself. He liked those nights best. It was more fun to be with people that to be alone, he was sure of that much. That was why being at this place was so fun, there was usually always someone around.
He giggled a little, cuddling the 'fairy' before he shifted, looking to Alicia when he heard her talking. He tilted his head ever so slightly to one side as he listened happily. He cooed happily at the thought of magic bubbles before blinking and watching like she told him to. His mouth and eyes went wide with shock as she stopped the bubbles. "Magic!" he boy giggled as he dropped his toy and moved, crawling up to the edge of the hot tub where Alicia was, trying to find the magic button so he could press it. He paused for a moment, hesitating almost, before he pressed the button, laughing loudly and clapping when the bubbles started again. He wriggled a little before leaning to press it again deeming this his new toy as it was fun to play with the magic bubbles. He giggled happily as he watched the water before shifting to press the button once more, having way too much fun with this.
Though, don't you play with new things when you first get them or are first taught to work them? I'm sure it's just a natural human reaction. It just so happened that because of his mental state that natural human reaction seemed a lot more like a curious child about to accidentally break something than an intelligent trying to get something to work. not that Tae Min could really help how he was, since it was just how his brain worked. People can't choose how their brains work, not to that extent anyway. They can choose how much of their brain they use and sometimes if they're smart or crazy enough they can change how they see and perceive things. But, not this. No, one can't control their mental age, especially not when their own brain is fighting against it to keep things the way they are. Especially considering it might be better for him in the long run to leave him like this. ___________________________________________________________________________ Word Count idfk Inspiration SHINee Sherlock Album Tags tae min & leesha Status Complete Template By Arro @ Caution 2.0 Picture By photobucket !

The boy just seemed so happy and blissfully ignorant of anything bad in the world. It was nice to be near that. Alicia almost missed being a kid again. Things were a lot simpler then. She would spend time with her parents, watch cartoons, go to school. It was all easy but then she got older and there were questions and arguments about skipped meals and if she was alright. In truth, it was too much concern that got to her. Everyone kept asking her if she was fine and all Leesha wanted was for them to just leave her alone. She was old enough to make her own decisions and she didn't see the need to blow things out of proportion.
This boy reminded her so much of the times she missed. The times she wanted to go back to when everything was fun and she was happy with not a care in the world.. But those times were gone and there was no point in trying to get it back. She needed to move on but it was hard to do that when she was stuck here.
He looked utterly amazed at the bubbles stopping and Leesha couldn't help but giggle at how cute it was. It was like baby sitting a really little kid who was just surprised at the things you did because they hadn't seen anything like it before. To her it was just the controls on the hot tub but to him, it really was magic and that was nice.
Leesha laughed when he pressed the button. This was suddenly so much fun and just watching him look so excited over it made her happy too. She hadn't had that in a while and it was nice. She had a new little friend who made her smile. It was good. Feeling the bubbles go on and off made her giggle too. It had become a fun game for her too.
She could clearly see why he was here. It had to be some mental thing. The boy was acting a whole lot younger than he was but now that she knew that, everything made more sense and Leesha could handle it just fine. She used to baby sit kids on her street who were around this mental age and they loved her so she figured this would be great.
