The atmosphere between them is quick to be a comfortable one once they’d started talking, as though the previous hostility between the two of them had just melted when they’d started talking and there’s even a part of him which thinks that he and Hyejeong are almost back to how their were all those years ago and the reason for the hostility in the first place is almost foggy and lost for him.

He ends up chuckling at her words, shaking his head a little in the process. “Yah, it’s really the alcohol that makes the bad decisions, don’t blame it on the club. I’m in the club a lot and I’d like to think that I don’t make a lot of bad decisions.” Taehyun ends up shooting a somewhat cheeky grin at the female, maybe it was too soon to tease her about the whole incident last night, but his cheeky grin soon fades upon hearing Hyejeong’s words and he can only mumble his agreement quietly. “No, I don’t think all the decisions last night were bad ones. Definitely not.” A small wave of his hand follows, together with a small smile. “Hey, you would do the same for me, even though I’m not sure I’d get into the same type of trouble. But really, there’s really no need to thank me.” Truth to be told, it’s not rare for Taehyun to see such scenes inside the club, in fact, it a much more common occurrence than one would think, but usually the security or the bouncers would step in before anything drastic would happen, he wasn’t usually someone to meddle, after all, his job was just a bartender and he’d really much rather keep it at that. But then again, last night was just an exception, Hyejeong was always an exception for him anyways.

Another shy laugh leaves him, as he ends up holding onto the girl’s hand even tighter–she hasn’t brought up the topic and it really does feel that it’s just some unspoken thing between them, the both of them wanting to be close to each other, yet not wanting to talk about the topic. “Well, we did manage to meet out of the sharehouse, which is an achievement. Who knows, maybe we’d be able to meet more now…?” It’s probably a little embarrassing to admit but he is shy and always a little shy when it comes to him talking about the school where he’s studying in. Taehyun knows of course, that the school he’s studying in is considered ‘top’ to some, yet when the topic comes up, he just usually shrugs it off. SeoulArts was the school and the only one that he’d wanted to get into ever since he’d had his mind set on picking up his education again. “It’s not..really…top. It was luck that I got in, I swear.” It’s his turn to be surprised now, his memory was always foggy about them talking about their future goals before, truthfully he thinks back then he was more focused on the present. “Photography? What type of photography are you into? Like the really artistic type? Or do you plan to be a photographer for journals and such? I haven’t really had much experience with taking photos. I draw rather than take photos, is that…strange?”

[93shj-blog1]

Another urge to slap herself across the face. She should’ve known better than to tell him how the club scene worked as she knew that he lived in it to work. When she thought she couldn’t gotten anymore embarrassed, the coiled feeling in her gut proved her wrong, making her think that now her stomach was just a bunch of knots that might not be able to get straight again. “Does this mean I should get away from the alcohol? You know, so I don’t do bad decisions again like last night’s.”, a similar mischievous smile teased on her lips but Hyejeong didn’t let it rise; he was right. Not all decisions were bad and it was mostly because they locked lips at the end. “I didn’t regret the other things, though.”, the words were quiet but with no one around them, she was sure the boy could heard her.

The thought of meeting Taehyun more frequently around the share house fluttered her heart as it felt much more intimate than bumping onto him in a club or a restaurant. She lived here as well and she could ran into him while she was dressed in her pajamas or casual clothing. Despite the anxiety of when would they meet, there was excitement as well to see him every way. “Hopefully there’ll be some warning in advance when we would meet. I gotta look my best.”, her lips quivered just a bit before it beamed a cheeky smile, fighting over her shyness and embarrassment with her own joke as Hyejeong flipped a bit of her hair with the free hand. As she learned more about Taehyun’s life ever since they lost contact, the brunette swelled with pride for him, knowing how hard he had back then. Maybe he hadn’t reached the peak yet but she had full faith in him for it. “Hey, however you got in there, you did it in a honest way, right? And you’re here now. There’s no excuse for you to not be proud of yourself.”, she patted the back of his hand that clasped her other hand, a soft smile curling on her lips. 

Her eyes couldn’t pried away from his face for so long and her gaze stopped, lingered on the sight of his lips. Hyejeong felt a little shameful for focusing there a little longer than the rest of his face as she could remembered and traced back every second of the memory from last night in her head. “I’m trying to turn into the artistic style but I believe every style has its own artistic points.”, she cleared her throat as she steered her thoughts into the conversation. “I like to take pictures of people! And food! They’re just interesting in their own ways, you know? For the future... I guess I’ll just see how everything turns out.”, Hyejeong shrugged her shoulders lightly, not wanting to peeked into the vast uncertainties of the future. “You draw? Can I see them one day? It’s not strange because people has their own talents. Drawing means capturing things that you see or might be beyond your imagination, right? Photography can do that as well. They... Somehow just fits for each other, compliments one another.”

“I won’t flunk, don’t worry, don’t worry!” She makes defensive gestures with her arms, trying to calm her friend down–but also in part herself. She needs to remind herself that her grades through the term have been fine so far, and that she really can afford this little deviation from her academics. Even if only for a night. “it’s not tomorrow, i promise–” She pauses and laughs. “It’s the day after, but I can manage! I’m halfway done!” It’s really more a third of the way done, but that’s just  a little detail.

“I have no idea whose six pack it is, but we won’t get caught I promise! I’ll replace it first thing tomorrow–I just don’t want to go through the trouble of going out and buying our own. Especially in the middle of the night!” Granted, they’d easily find somewhere–a convenience store perhaps–even at this time, that will let them buy alcohol, but that’s just more time wasted, when they can be destressing together, Mina thinks. She gets up and leads the way out of her room, her eyes on alert when they reach the floor’s mini kitchen. Luckily, no one else seems to be paying attention them, but she gestures for her best friend to be on the look out anyway as she opens the fridge grab the beer away. “Come on–” She hisses, giggling as she practically makes a run for it back to her room.

[93shj-blog1]

Everything was such a blur in front of her eyes, maybe due to the rush of adrenaline from taking someone else’s six pack back to her friend’s room. Hyejeong followed suit when Mina already had the cans in hand, jogging on the petite girl’s trail before any of the studying students looked at them with suspicion. When the tall girl was already in the room, she quickly closed the door behind them with a triumph grin beaming on her expression. “Victory!”, her voice filled the room and followed by laughter. 

“I guess we should always have a six pack of beer of our own when finals are here. We can’t get through it without a bit of having fun, right?”, Hyejeong sat down on the floor with her back leaning onto the edge of the bottom bunk. Her body heat spiked up when she had the adrenaline rush but as it left her now, the girl felt a little bit cold clad in her thin pajamas. “How are you holding up, though? Have I asked that?”, her hands were busy reaching out to the plastic bag of snacks with her eyes still focused on Mina. 

They had gone through finals together ever since they became friends in High school but because they went to different schools, the girls never really had the experience of taking one together even now. Maybe back then they could studied together with almost similar subjects but now, Hyejeong could only filled in the emotional support with her lack of skills or knowledge in architecture.

Taehyung nods his head in answer to the female’s question, smiling wide. Now that he’s all warm and toasty, he feels a gazillion times better. Heat is a beautiful, beautiful thing, he realizes. The sight of his waterlogged clothes causes an involuntary shiver to crawl up his spine, bringing back too many memories of the cold.

He wraps his towel tighter around himself before stepping out of the bathroom (it’s okay because he’s covered). And finally, he’s able to officially thank the woman for everything she’s done. “Um … thank you! For helping me get cleaned up and stuff. I honestly don’t know how I would’ve gotten in if it wasn’t for you.”

He should probably be heading off to his room now to change into the comfiest pair of pajamas he owns, but instead,  he pauses, eyes glancing around the room for a few moments as he searches for something else to say.  Because he does feel like he needs to say something else, at least, besides the typical thank you.

“Uhhh … oh yeah! I don’t even know your name. I’m Taehyung, and I get lots of paint on myself. What about you?”

[93shj-blog1]

There was definitely awkwardness creeping into the air as the boy stood there, with a towel just hung around his hips and Hyejeong had to focused on his face. The scene was embarrassing for her and it sent pink tints flushing her cheeks. Despite thinking that the neighbor seemed so much like a little brother, it was still embarrassing for her to see the opposite sex walking around the share house half-naked, which happened a lot of times while living in Umbrella. 

“Oh, nice to meet you, Taehyung-ssi.”, she chuckled with his small joke. “I’m Hyejeong and turns out, we live in the same floor. You know, messiness means you’re creative, study proved it.”, Hyejeong did read about that somewhere before and she just hoped that the now-named neighbor would take it as a compliment. “It was a great way to meet, though. Such a good ice breaker.”

Another second passed with the fear of awkwardness. Maybe it was time for her to let him change first before they continued their conversation - only if he wanted to. “Hey, you should really change first before you really get sick. The heater hasn’t really been helping with the wind coming through the windows.”, the brunette hissed and shivered, as if to demonstrate what would happen when small gusts of wind went through the cracks of the windows. That would be something she had to report to the land lord. “I’ll be making ramen after this. Would you like to join me?”

{ * the box is left at the door of the tall female’s room, containing this, and with a note tacked onto it }

Hyejeong-ssi!

Merry Christmas! I’m so sorry that I haven’t been able to leave more thoughtful well-wishing, but life kind of took over during the holidays. I hope you enjoy your gift though! I’m hoping it might be very useful for you.

Your Secret Santa, Park Sooyoung

{/ she lugs the big shopping bag containing gifts from the restaurant’s staffs when she almost stumbles into her room because of the box at the doorway; hyejeong furrow her brows because she’s not expecting any gifts or packages these days so when the brunette picked it up to read it’s from her secret santa, a smile beams on her face } I need to really give back to her...

[93shj-blog1]

{– smiling shyly, seulgi slowly hands a small wrapped gift containing this to the older girl} Unnie, Merry Christmas! I hope you like it. Use it on our next photo hunt! {– laughs nervously}

{/ her eyes follow the young girl when she comes closer and widens as she looks at the small gift that seulgi handing to her; with much surprise, hyejeong carefully takes the gift as if it was made out of fragile materials } Wow... Seulgi-yah, you didn’t need to give me anything! But thank you so much... I didn’t know what to say-- {/ she chuckles but extending her free hand to ruffle the younger’s hair affectionately } Maybe you should come with me, to choose a Christmas gift for yourself. I have been so busy this year with work... That I couldn’t even gone out for a shopping spree!

With the mop in her hand, the girl covered every surface of the floor before the restaurant opened its door for the evening. The other staffs were busy preparing the kitchen and menu for the night, making Hyejeong the only one to cover the cleaning part. The year was coming toward the end and that meant for the holidays. Many people booked tables for a company dinner or even a romantic dinner for couples. The latter made the girl cringed, mostly, with bitterness. 

She looked over the glistening floor after being mopped with a heavy accomplished sigh and a big grin donning her lips. She hadn’t been working at the restaurant for a while due to her finals but now everything was over, Hyejeong could focus on enjoying the break and working. Due to the busy service shifts, the brunette had offered an acquaintance from the share house with a job for the holidays. A job that would just to help out around the restaurant; bringing side dishes, grilling or what she was doing now, cleaning. The thought of Joonyoung came into mind and Hyejeong sighed, wondering where the male was. She took a glance of the clock at the cashier counter with its bright digital digits. She hoped he would get here soon before he lost the job on the first day.

“Not… tomorrow.” Mina answers, laughing. She isn’t lying–her project isn’t due the next day, but rather the day after tomorrow. Never mind that she has one other project to work on, she really really needs a break at the moment, and she’s glad that Hyejeong had arrived at her doorstep as if her best friend knew she needed an excuse.

Hanging out in her room sounded perfect to her; she just needed to put away her school items, which she does in a haphazard manner. She throws all her pens into her bag and covers her project with a sheet–the point is so she isn’t reminded of any of it in the next several hours.

“You know what’s better than just watching a movie, though–?” She tilts her head to the side, lips curling in a manner that can almost be described as mischievous. “I saw a six pack of beer in the fridge earlier,” she begins. “And I can really use a drink or two–it should go well with this snacks, too!” She’s unsure who the actual owner of the beer is, but she figures she can just replace it early on the next day. She’s in dire need of destressing and alcohol always provides a good push towards  that direction. “You in?” 

[93shj-blog1]

With wide eyes, Hyejeong watched as her petite friend turned into a whirlwind and cleared up any evidences of her on going project from plain sight. It brought a light laughter to her and she just watched, not wanting to be on the way. This time of the year was definitely a stressful one for all university students which meant most of the Umbrella tenants. “You sure it’s not tomorrow? I don’t want to be the reason for you flunking!”, she shivered on the image and thought. To be on the way for her friend’s success wasn’t something Hyejeong wanted.

“A six pack? Whose beer? What if we get caught?”, a tinge of excitement tingled throughout her and made the brunette stood up from the bottom bunk. Even if she had voiced out her worries, her body couldn’t lie that she needed the alcohol kick. Hyejeong could handle her alcohol and beer wasn’t anything to her but it would do for a relaxing night. “Let’s do it, then. If we get caught, we’ll say sorry and maybe they even let us pay for them.”, she let the mischievous smile crept onto her face before making a quick bee line towards the door that led outside. 

Along with the cold weather and everyone cramming up for the finals, Hyejeong had missed the excitement of actually enjoying life. Her friends had their noses stuck into the screens of their computers but she was glad Mina could spared the night for her. “You ready?”, the girl took a quick glance over her shoulder to her friend then continuing her way to the kitchen. The students that were studying outside were too immersed in the lesson, paying no mind to Hyejeong and Mina.

“Possessed. I definitely don’t want that,” he added on, playing off that he was completely engulfed in thought minutes ago, “no I can pay for the snacks, really.  If you feel like you must contribute then we can pay separately. I didn’t stand in line all that time although you weren’t that late.” However, this was his first time noticing the crowds of people. It is the weekend, he thought but getting pushed through a sea of people wasn’t part of their afternoon plans. When they finally got to the ticket booth he paid for their tickets then ripped them in half, handing one to her and keeping the other. 

Afterwards, he followed her to the concessions stand. He didn’t have to look at the menu for long because popcorn was always the traditional choice. He reached in his back pocket, pulled out a bill and placed it in her hands. “Although, I know your quite stubborn, feel free to pay for out snacks with that.” As they stood in line he couldn’t help but to think once more, this time avoiding the awkward silence. It’s been awhile since he’s seen them after all. Wouldn’t they remember him? “Hyejeong,” he turned to face her, with concerned features, “Do your parents even remember me? It’s been such a long time. I don’t think your mother ever liked me too much.” He laughed as they approached their turn in line. 

[93shj-blog1]

The question that was all of a sudden thrown at her definitely set Hyejeong aback. Her eyes widened slightly in surprise but she quickly managed herself just in case her friend got scared he had said something bad. “Oh... I’m pretty sure my dad would remember you. You’re the tallest male friend that I have! Besides, he was a bit wary about you. For my mother, don’t take it to heart. She doesn’t like anybody”, she mustered up her best playful smile even though her gut ached a little on the memory of her father. The scene of what she told Joohyuk replayed in her mind; she was just telling him about her friend when her father got all suspicious that Joohyuk could’ve been her boyfriend all along. The then-young girl could only rolled her eyes before they shared a hearty laugh. 

“Why did you ask that all of a sudden, though?”, there was curiosity sparking within her for his sudden question. It had been quite a while since the last time the brunette even thought about her parents. She had tried her best to not think about them as the year-end approached and people had been prying onto their sentimental sides. Hyejeong distracted herself by ordering the popcorns for the both of them and the drinks, jesting on how generous her friend was as she paid the snacks with the bill he had handed over to her. It was one of her defense mechanism when it came to her past; she just needed to keep on living the present. 

As they were finally walking towards the theater, she could felt the subtle buzz of her phone in the pocket of her jeans. “Hold on...”, the girl muttered quickly before balancing her popcorn and drink in one arm, answering the phone in the other. “Hello?”, without looking at the caller ID, Hyejeong pressed the gadget against her ear. The voice was a welcomed one yet the coincidence couldn’t be more impeccable. She listened as the neighbor auntie who was always kind to the brunette even before and decided to be the eyes and ears for her after catching Hyejeong snooping around the neighborhood a little while after her return. 

The smile faltered from her face as the story went on and she mindlessly scooted over to the wall on the side to avoid the movie goers that were going into the theater. Her feet brought her even without her thinking about it. She could only listened and asked measly questions before the line was cut. “Joo-yah... I... I really need to get to the hospital...”, her words were cuts and quiet despite the noises around them. She looked up to see her taller friend with her nervousness obviously struck across her face. “I need to see my dad.”

Seulgi’s face lit up at the older girl’s suggestion. “Ah, we can do that! It’s been a while since I’ve eaten at a pojangmacha,” she replied, grinning. She wasn’t a voracious eater. When it came to food, Seulgi would take quality over quantity any day. The serving they received, however, was too small even for her, and truthfully, price was no indication of quality. They indeed would have to find something more satisfying later on. “We have to schedule our trip to Insadong on a day we’ll have time to eat before we head out,” she quipped. Deep inside, she hoped they wouldn’t need to eat at such an expensive place again.

“Well, now at least we have more energy to run!” she laughed, covering her mouth daintily. Her qualms about the place and the food it served disappeared when she saw the older girl’s reaction to the food. At first, she only watched, but seeing how quickly Hyejeong took a second piece, Seulgi wasted no time in following suit and took a chicken wing for herself. After taking a bite, her eyes widened in surprise. “Ah, it is good! I’m surprised!” She quickly took a second piece for herself as well.

Before answering the older girl’s question, Seulgi bit down on her lower lip. “It was a pretty busy day, actually.” She took her time to choose her next words well, not wanting to make it sound like she was terribly busy and worry Hyejeong. “But it was nothing out of the usual: school, then a bit of work. What about you, unnie?” While waiting for an answer, she took a sip from the bottle of sparkling water, which made a slight wince appear on her face.

[93shj-blog1]

Even though she had said before to hoped otherwise, she knew deep down that the younger girl would have had a busy day. They both had a hard time to penciled each other into their schedules up until today so it was a question that already had its own answer. “Same like always?”, Hyejeong chuckled softly as she wiped her greasy fingers with the napkin that was set neatly on one side. “Don’t forget to take care of yourself, though, okay? The weather is cold and you’re working your butt off for everything. You deserve a night out like this, at least. Minus the running around.”, her hand waved a little as if to emphasize the highlight of the night so far, a playful smile looping on her lips. 

Growing up as an only child in such a heinous family environment, the tall girl had always wished she had a sibling, younger or older, it didn’t matter. Even if it wasn’t for the wisest reason - to had an a scapegoat for her mother’s hatred, now she had learned that she wouldn’t even let her sibling went through that if she had one. Looking at Seulgi, the brunette felt like having the younger sister she wanted. “I had an okay day. Same like you; classes and then I just dropped by the restaurant to checked out if the uncle and auntie needed some help. They said it’s fine for me to not do the shift tonight... So I guess, we had the same day, just for me, not the working part.”

The wince that Seulgi made after that sip of the sparkling water tickled a laughter from Hyejeong, quickly getting a sip of her own. The carbohydrate water filled her mouth and resulting the same wince as if so the younger wouldn’t felt shy or embarrassed. “Wow... We aren’t that fancy for this water.”, the girl jested but drank it anyway to get the price she had paid for. “You can finish off the chicken wings, it’s okay. As an apology to drag you here... Let me just buy you the food at the pojangmacha, okay?”, her mind quickly went back to the mental calculation and she knew she had more than enough money to fulfilled her promise. Her motherly instinct kicked in as well if she wanted to remembered what Seulgi went through. “And you cannot say no!”

With a heavy sigh and a loud groan, Mina’s cheek hits the surface of her drafting table. She just really wants to be done with her final drafting project of the term–and she almost is, but she’s reached a point in the night where her brain is just refusing to function properly. She holds her protactor by the end and tries to make it twirl against the table; unfortunately, all it does is get accidentally flicked across the room. She stares at it, eyes narrowed as if willing it with her non-existent telepathic powers to come flying back to her.

She stands up, and is about to take the first step towards the curved ruler, when there’s a knock on the door. It’s quickly followed by the sound of a familiar voice calling out to her name, and just like that the protractor is forgotten and Mina practically runs to the door to open it for her best friend. If she’s being honest, she woud have gladly welcomed any form of distraction, but the fact that it’s Hyejeong who appeared so save her from the monotony of school work makes it even better.

“Yes, yes, hello–!” She beams as she looks up at the tall girl, one hand reaching for their wrist so she can pull them into her room. Hyejeong is already in her sleepwear, much like Mina is with her old worn out short and loose pajama bottoms. “What are these–?” She reaches for the bag of snacks as soon as she catches sight of them. “For me??”

[93shj-blog1]

“Oof--”, it caught her by surprise as the petite girl pulled her into the room and quickly surrounded by a different kind of feeling. It was something that Hyejeong had felt whenever she visited someone else’s room in the share house. Despite living underneath the same roof with almost the same layout of every room, the tenants brought their own personality then mixed with their roommates’ to create another whole new world within their personal space, in her opinion.

Mina’s was no exception. She almost felt like she was back in her best friend’s room in her family’s home. “Yes, these are for you, miss.”, with a big grin, Hyejeong handed over the bag full of snacks even though her friend had took it right away. “I know you’re having a hard time with your finals... and I wanted to check up on you. Please tell me no one hadn’t done that yet.”, her lips jutted on a playful pout as her rear end had found a spot to sat on the bottom bunk of the bed. Even though it could’ve been Mina’s roommate’s, the brunette just sat on the tip of the edge, not wanting to be intrusive. “I wanted to be a good friend, you see, to be the first that checked up on you.”, she chuckled with her eyes shooting a glance towards the huge drafting table that obviously had became a nest for the other. 

“When’s that due?”, her chin jerked softly and slowly towards the on going work her friend had, making sure that she wouldn’t be in the way of a deadline. Hyejeong knew how it was first-hand and she didn’t want to do something that she would’ve hated from someone else. “I was just thinking if we can hang out... It’s lonely if I stay up in my room. Maybe we can watch a movie or a show!”

bittersweet reunion - 2hye.

[uhxhyemin-deactivated20170602]

she chuckled softly at the other and shook her head. “Don’t worry. On the off chance that something did break, I’d take care of it on my own. Unless you deliberately broke it, but I don’t think you’re that kind of person.” sure, she knew her words weren’t all that encouraging, but that didn’t stop them from being the truth. hyemin thought for a moment before answering the next question. “Well, I guess it’s kind of a long story? I was born here, but I didn’t move to this house from the same city. Does that make sense?” she hesitated momentarily, but decided hyejeong was worth telling. “I was looking for a place of my own, really. I’ve moved quite a few times throughout my life and I’m just ready to settle down. Well, settle down in the sense of living in the same place for as long as I want.” she returns the question, “What about you?”

when the other stops, hyemin stops with her, just in case she needs to offer some assistance. when she realized her services were unneeded, she nods in response, another laugh tickling her lips. “That sounds good and thank you. Both my back and I are thankful for your hospitality.” despite playing along with the joke, hyemin was certainly telling the truth. however, the situation at hand had made her believe she needed to go through her belongings, getting rid of what she didn’t need. especially her clothes. was she even going to have enough closet space? the talk of food pulled her from her head and she responded, “I don’t really feel like anything in particular. I’ve reached that ‘I’m so hungry, I literally just want food and I don’t care what kind’ stage.” she thought to herself, well, that’s what you get for refusing to eat all day, dummy.

when hearing of their arrival to her new home, hyemin was almost unable to contain herself. sure, she’d seen the layouts, as well as a vacant room of her desired floor plan, however this was the first time she was going to set her eyes on the room belonging to her specifically. she maneuvered her body, allowing her eyes to catch glimpse of the areas on her floor hyejeong directed her to. she had high hopes for this place, and the people, and so far the place was delivering. and so were the people, at least, the one’s she ran into so far…which was only hyejeong, but those details didn’t matter much. “Hm,” she hummed in thought, “I don’t think so. Not right now, anyway, but I’m sure it won’t be long.”

[93shj-blog1]

Her head bobbed softly in understanding. It wasn’t rare to find someone that just wanted to had a place on their own in the share house, away from their parents as they started university or simply to embraced their independence. Hyejeong knew how it felt so for almost all of the tenants here, she could relate to their reason herself. “So you had been living outside of Seoul before? Where did you live before moving back here?”, she looked over to the other girl with a soft smile donning on her lips. There was something that tugged her heartstring for the new people that had that kind of reason; to find a sense of home. It made her feel proud for living in Umbrella. “Don’t worry, though. Everyone’s very friendly here and you’ll feel like home in no time!”

When the spotlight was turned to the brunette, her cheeks flushed a little in fade red tints. How would she able to tell the new neighbor her story? During the times when she just first moved to the share house, Hyejeong had developed a way to tell everyone her reason without actually prying too deep. From then on, it had been on the top of her head whenever someone asked. “Well, almost the same like you, I just want to have a place on my own even though I am from the city. I moved here and there as well before settling here and you know, I loved it here so far.”, with a beaming wide smile, she hid her flushed cheeks and a moment of taken aback quickly and seamlessly. Hyejeong felt relieved once they talked more about food and it made her felt happy to think about what she could had with dinner. More over, the bonding time the two girls might had later on. “How about some dalkkallbi? I know a really great place just a few blocks down and the restaurant owners are originally from Chuncheon so I can even vouch for the authenticity!”, the smile was still intact on her face before the girl bursted a small laughter. 

Her face instantly brightened up as she watched Hyemin took a look around of the area. Maybe it was how she was back then, the feeling of freedom, maybe? “I live upstairs, in 4A, so if you need anything, you can always come upstairs, yeah?”, Hyejeong carefully stepped into the room and settled down the boxes on the floor. She never knew how the weight affected her hands until she could felt them getting a little weak on the aftermath. “So, ready for another round?”

“F-fourth … floor . .” is all he can manage before he’s being pulled away. Taehyung can’t even feel his feet or his hands or anything right now, and he’s shivering so violently now. He follows the woman blindly because, really, that’s all he can do for the time being, but he’s pretty sure she’s not going to put him through anymore torture, so he isn’t too scared.

As soon as he enters the building, he’s hit with a blast of warm air. The feeling is oh so welcomed on his freezing skin. A warm shower or bath, she said. Yeah. That would be great right now. He thinks he manages to give the female a small smile and a weak thumbs up before he’s dragging himself up the stairs.

While ascending the steps to the fourth, he has to stop at every floor, almost falling over several times, but he somehow makes it to the very top. And then he’s heading to the bathroom and turning on the shower and stepping under the shower and being transported to paradise. The warm water is heaven in H20 form, and Taehyung can feel his body slowly thawing itself out the longer he stays in there. 

It feels like hours pass before Taehyung is stepping out and wrapping a nice, warm towel around his waist. When he peaks his head out into the hallway and see’s the same woman who helped him get clean, he’s able to smile an actual smile at her this time and even wave.

“Okay, fourth floor.”, she gave him a thumbs up and watched as the soaked boy walking up the stairs. Even though they - or she - had came up with the plan, the steps were still a little wet with the mini puddles he had left as breadcrumbs of his trail. Hyejeong could only sighed, knowing she had to wiped them up on the way to the fourth floor. With a free, clean plastic bag in hand she snatched from her part in the kitchen cupboard, the girl carefully picked up the heavy soaked clothes and dunked them in to return to the unfortunate neighbor. Another second she spent outside, chills couldn’t stopped creeping through out her body. It was a miracle yet a stupid move to spray him with the hose in such a weather. 

Once everything was neat and dry, the brunette rushed her way towards the fourth floor in hope that she could catch the unnamed male before he got into his room. It would be another quest. There was no one in sight when she got upstairs so Hyejeong decided to wait out in the common room, taking a breather on what just happened. Her own room was already in front of her and she guessed the boy could be a new tenant, as she never saw him when they both lived in the same floor. ‘Maybe you’re the anti-social one these days’, the small voice in her head chimed in. 

The door of the bathroom cracked open and a head poked out. She looked over to the said head, chuckling when she realized it was him. Hyejeong waved her hand in return before lifting the heavy plastic bag in the other hand as if to show him what she was there for. “I got your clothes!”, she called out to emphasize her reason. “Did you feel better?”

With the semester coming to an end and only a little less than two weeks from winter break, the share house came to its full capacity or what it seemed like it by tenants filling up their own rooms at some rare hours in Hyejeong’s opinion. Usually she would be greeted by the silence and peace of mornings or late nights but now, seeing each common rooms get filled by a group of students studying and cramming their text books wasn’t a queer sight. It made her felt guilty yet smug from the way she skipped the stressed students towards her best friend’s room for their own girl night. A plastic bag with some snacks inside, her camera slung across her body in its own holder and herself dressed in comfortable pajamas. She could almost felt the stare that burned on her sides and back from the studying tenants and their friends. 

It wasn’t her fault that most of her finals would be project-based meaning she would just need to compiled and take photos based on what the professors of each class wanted her to or any other project that related to the class. Only one that would be a written exam but that also didn’t need the girl cramming a text book inside her head. With a big grin beaming on her face, Hyejeong knocked on the door of 3E, hoping that it was Mina that would popped her head out of the crack of the door. She never really knew her friend’s roommate and she thought it would be awkward to meet at the moment with how she was presenting herself. “Mina-yah! It’s me!”

📷: what kinds of things does your muse take photos of?

Because she’s an aspiring photographer, when she doesn’t have her Fuji camera (which is a highly unlikely chance), she uses her phone to take the interesting pictures she find along the way. From food, people or to random-yet-interesting shots, she would have them all in her camera roll.

🃏 : does your muse have games on their phone? if so, what kinds?

Hyejeong isn’t that big of a gamer but she has just simple games in her phone like Candy Crush or Angry Bird. These days she has been revisiting the farming game as well.

📞: who does your muse call most often?

She’s not a big fan of calls so she only usually calls the auntie or uncle of the restaurant. To her, calls are for emergency only.
