impassive dark orbs gawked at the two very beloved people who stood in front of her, jieun's solid black heart had not been moved by her parent's political conspiration and overall, how their life literally spun around an earth full of nothing but constant tabloids, endless public speeches, and the fact that they rarely spent time for their own daughter made it worse. whether if it was her curiousity that got to the best at her at times that led to her rebellious and stubborn nature or perhaps, her parents were the scapegoat for the very reason of her gray-clouded demanour-- jieun wasn't proud about the lifestyle she had as opposed to a regular citizen who would have anticipated living a luxurious lifestyle and worked their arse off of it for most of their lives (then again, almost anyone would). right now, she really needed them to disappear from her sight and take a break of her own, a relief and breather for herself-- to seclude herself from their annoying agenda that she would be forced to follow like a ragged doll being dragged on the blank pavements of a sidewalk by a hopeless, ambitious child.
"i think i'm going to go out for a quick walk." inside, she cringed, nearly rendered half-dead at the unexpected smile that was rather forced and unusual, bare teeth being shown and if this was picture day, it would have been the perfect potrait-- without a doubt. her eyes formed the shape of a crescent moon, but they were not bright and alluring as the real moon was, her expression was much like the stereotypical "i'm about to kill you" look. (jieun was always told to smile and flaunt that off, to be a "lady".)
luckily for jieun, her parents were caught up in their own little world and flew away from the very fabric of reality. jieun knew, if her mom initiated any form of eye contact, she'd be shut down on her plans and it was another week worth of public speaking classes for her, however, not from a teacher but the devil itself-- her mother.
each step she took, further and further, the sight of her parent's presence, along with the other politicians and fancy people grew dimmer and smaller as she turned around to reassure that they would not hinder the path she was going to take. from where she was now, they looked like ants permeated on a hill. picking up her two feet, it took her about ten minutes to completely get out of their terrain.
jieun wasn't astonished if she would be alone at this time, but there wouldn't be anything amazing if there was another person in the same area as she was right now, at this very moment. she held a newspaper, eyes scanning through excerpts and storing viable information in her head. that mass murder huh.. with the world it was today, even if her parents were so obsessed with reshaping it to become much more open and accepting community and what could at least be the epitome of "humane", it took more than politicians and their propaganda. in the end, there was both the good and the bad and the right and the wrong no matter how many arguments or debates there would be. jieun shrugged her shoulders at the mere thought, eyes narrowing down to the presence of a stranger or so.. she thought to be. until, she was proven wrong when she looked back at the newspaper and at the face of the other woman.
she grinned, anticipating for answers to her inquires.
"are you the same woman who killed those pathetic human beings?" she emphasized on the word-- pathetic, even repeating it another time to indicate her interest of the torture against those poor beings, "pathetic."
