ABC of Bang Yongguk ► Q for Quotes

[psunluna-blog]

“and isn’t your life a little more brighter when you see me?” she replies, another smile gracing her features. “but i’m doing good, thank you for asking.” she chuckles. “oh, sorry! i’m just use to calling you mr. bang.” she gnaws on her bottom lip, reluctant on calling him by his first name. “yongguk.. has a nice ring to it. a wonderful name to a beautiful face, no?”  

she wasn’t even fazed at her words, seemingly because it was the truth. but also luna didn’t have the word shame in her dictionary, and she continued on sweeping the floors and humming a small tune to carry along with her chores. “how about you? how’s everything lately for you?” she never really knew anything about yongguk, except for the fact he worked at the same place with her and had a smile that got the mother’s that come into the store all smitten. she wouldn’t lie that sometimes she feels the same way.

yongguk is becoming extremely overwhelmed by luna’s straightforwardness. he’s never met anyone this assertive, excluding joohui and she doesn’t count. that’s his sister; he knows perfectly well how to handle himself in that scenario. but luna? totally different case. the grip he has on the broom tightens, quietly murmuring, “thank you, luna. your name’s pretty too.” 

he finishes his part of the sweeping, right hand lifting to pat his cheeks to assert that they weren’t tomato red anymore. they seemed cool enough to turn back to face the other, thus he places his cleaning item down and does so. he doesn’t gaze directly at her, however, instead choosing to avert his attention to toy animals waiting to be stuffed with love. “good as well. you know, it’s nice having a job i enjoy or else i don’t think i’d be feeling as great. when i go home, at least i leave with a warm feeling. what about you? you seem to enjoy it here by the way you’re constantly smiling.”

luna always loathed closing time. most workers loved the idea of going home but build-a-bear to her was a second home. she enjoyed her time there and seeing kids walk away with a radiant smile plastered across their face when they made a new friend made her feel like she accomplished something, and so, she continued to clean the store with a dejected pout on her face. 

she hadn’t even realized another soul occupied the same place with her until she heard a low grumble break the silence and she jumps embarrassingly, a pink tint flourishing her cheeks. “oh! mr. bang, i forgot you were here.” she bowed apologetically, hands gripping onto the broom handle tighter than before. “someone’s a little nosy with my life. why? would you like to be in it as well?” luna liked teasing the older, only to see him panic and maybe if she’s lucky, see his gummy smile that he adorns on his face.

wrinkles form on his forehead from scrunching his face because mr. bang? what in the world.. that makes it sound like he’s old, which he is not. forcing a small chuckle, yongguk shakes his head, a hand reaching out to dismiss her bow. “ah, it’s fine. i get that a lot actually. also, you can just call me yongguk...” the man continues to sweep, only to almost drop his broomstick, mouth gaping open. “oh no! uh,” he slurs out quickly, trying to find the correct words to form a sentence. 

tongue tied and nervous, he turns away from his coworker to hide his burning cheeks, afterwards coughing to clear his throat. “you don’t have to tell me anything. i was merely asking,” he responds, the pitch of his voice lowering deeper than it already is. that occurs when he’s panicked as hell. speaking up again, yongguk says, “and technically, i’m already in it... because we see each other almost everyday due to work..”

( @psunluna ) 

it’s 15 minutes after 9 and the doors of build a bear workshop are safely locked for the night. yongguk had sent joohui and sana home first, deciding to stay behind to assist his coworker, luna, with cleaning. unsurprisingly, not much is known about the female (at least not much is known by him) other than that she’s full of energy and cheerful. she lures in children and adults alike with that signature bright smile of hers. how he became aware of it, you ask? well, it’s typically hard not to acknowledge it when luna is surrounded by crowds of ecstatic, tiny people. 

sighing, his gaze from the floor shifts to said person across from him before shifting to sweep again. “so.. luna.. how’ve you been?” he asks rather awkwardly. he’s not sure what’s worse: the uncomfortable silence before he opened his mouth or his awkwardness. he chooses the latter.

“You mean what’s left of it?” She chimes in a teasing manner. She always had the knack of pushing on people’s buttons, and her brother is no exemption to that. Joohui was against his new haircut, despite it being anything but new, which is why she doesn’t let any opportunity to make a joke out of it slip past her fingers. “I kid, I kid. You look great.” The statement was followed by a snort as the female finished chewing on the last bit of her breakfast, before proceeding to empty her morning coffee. One cup is never enough when she has to deal with children for five hours straight, so she made a mental note to drop by a coffee shop later that day. 

An apparent groan is heard from the younger one, but she knows better than to complain. “Yes, sir!” She salutes at no one, diligent fingers stacking the plates on top of each other as well as the mugs used before making her way to the sink. She turns on the tap water after putting on a pair of gloves- she just did her nails the night before, like hell she’ll have them be ruined now. “Oh, that reminds me” Joohui calls out, loud enough to be heard over the sound of running water. “We have to get the groceries today. We’re out of juice!”

[bbangguk-blog]

“Thanks a lot, punk.” He mutters quietly as he sits down on their plushy living room couch. A hand reaches up to slide over his hair while the other aims for the tv remote. The cut isn’t that horrible, really. His hair stylist had said it was a good look on him, and he trusts her judgement completely unlike his sister’s. All of a sudden he’s not in the mood to watch anything anymore, thus he lays back and closes his eyes, arm hanging off to the side of the sofa’s arm. The sound of the running water is calming to the point of falling asleep, but Joohui’s voice snaps him out of it. 

“We’re out already? I thought we bought a carton two days ago,” he blares in response. How much juice can a person drink? Yongguk sighs. “We’ll go after work. Is there anything else we need to stock up on? I’ll make a list, hold on.” Shifting his bottom off, he begins to head towards his room, grabbing his phone as soon as he spots it. Fingers unlock the screen and press on the notepad application while the older walks back into the kitchen. “Juice,” he states slowly, typing it into the device. “What else?”

“Mm” Came her own shortened rendition of a ‘Morning’ as she lifts her elbow on the table, chin settling on the center of her palm, eyes at rest at the busy figure of his brother. Over the past few years they’ve decided to live independently from their parents, Yongguk has managed to learn a few (specifically three) recipes on his own, which is enough for the siblings to last a decade longer compared to living off of instant noodles. “Thank you~” She chimes, fingers curling around the handle of her mug as she takes a small sip, hissing at the sting on her tongue from the heat she was asked to be cautious of. “Warn me earlier next time.” The younger one played it off like it wasn’t her fault, scrunching her nose in distaste.

”10 o’clock sharp, if we’re talking about being punctual.” She says between chews, crumbs unceremoniously flying from her mouth to the place mats on the table. A true lady, Joohui is. “Could always clock in around the same time as you and tell them you were taking too long doing your hair.” Grinning, she takes another sip from her drink, more careful than before.

[bbangguk-blog]

“Hey, at least you can’t say I didn’t warn you.” He laughs, hand reaching for a piece of toast. As expected of Joohui. Words always manage to flow into her ears late for some unknown reason. He takes a quick glance at his hand watch that reads 8:45. Plenty of time to kill. “You could,” he agrees while biting into his toast. “But I won’t allow it. Anyway, pretty sure the whole world is aware that it takes less than 5 minutes to fix my hair.” It’s like she doesn’t even know him and he is slightly offended.

After gulping down his coffee, he raises the now empty cup as if to show it off and places it in front of the younger. “Your turn to wash dishes.” The chair he’s sitting in creates a sharp screech when he moves it back to leave the kitchen area, his feet leading towards the living room. TV sounds good right about now. It’s not like he has to rush to get ready anyhow.

         ( @bbangguk )

Pale covers rustled as the sleeping form beneath it awakens from deep slumber with a close-mouthed groan, arms stretched cat-like above her head before proceeding to blindly reach for the blaring sound of her alarm. It can’t possibly be morning already, but the small rays of sunshine peaking through the blinds were enough indication to prove her thought otherwise. With a harrumph, Joohui dragged herself out of bed. She knows lazing around in bed any longer than necessary will give the people at work more reason to give her a load-full for the possibility of being late to work (again), and she’d rather not deal with that. 

“Guk-ah,” She greets sleepily upon entering the kitchen, resting her chin on the dining table after sitting down, eyes leering towards the general direction of her brother. “What’s for breakfast?” Joohui asks, as she does everyday, despite knowing he could hardly crack an egg open, much less cook anything other than that.

[bbangguk-blog]

Four slices of toast are placed on a plate, each covered with a decent amount of butter. The coffee maker finishes filling up the mugs Yongguk had placed under it earlier and makes way to prepare the drinks to his and his sister’s liking. Careful not to burn himself, he grabs the mugs by their handles before placing both on the kitchen counter top to join the sugar and cream. One teaspoon of sugar and cream for him and two and a half teaspoons of sugar and loads of cream for Joohui. He slowly looks up at the sound of, speak of the devil, his sister’s voice. 

“Mornin’, sleepy head,” he smiles, gums and all. “Nothing special. Buttered toast and coffee. Here.” He stirs the liquid once more, making sure it’s blended well and finally walks over to the table with the toast platter and coffee mugs. “Be careful. It’s still hot. The coffee, I mean,” he says while taking a seat. It’s funny how he usually warns her about the tiniest things, but it’s not like he can help it either. “What time are you supposed to be in today?”
