      Slender legs dangled off the edge, orange painted toes swirling around in the cold water. The blunt that rested between her fingers was brought to her mouth before her eyes moved towards the midnight sky. “I used to think that the stars were people their souls y’know? Like, dead people. Yeah.” Her words weren’t making any sense and Minhee wasn’t entirely sure what she was trying to say either. A fog filled mind certainly didn’t help to make it any clearer. “Fucking aliens, man.” A laugh escaped her, nose scrunching up lightly. “Bet they’re just aliens. Nothing poetic about it. Just aliens.”

Sometimes I don’t get you, I said. She didn’t even glance at me. She just smiled toward the television and said, You never get me. That’s the whole point.

“Lucky me.” The girl grins, liking that she wasn’t the only girl who was straight forward in this god foresaken town. “What’s your name, angel?” She  was excited at this point.. maybe this girl was just as fucked up as she was.

[finding-minhee-blog]

“The name’s Minhee,” she gave a smile, a hand running through her dyed locks briefly. How intriguing. Perhaps this girl would be offer some excitement for her, because really, Minhee was still quite disappointed with Brighton in general. It wasn’t her home. “What about you, hm?”

“Let’s not play games here, Min. I am the coolest guy,” he smiled, and couldn’t help but snort a small laugh as he looked over the clothing in the store. He could be cool—when he wanted to be. Following close behind, he looked at the scarf she had her eye on, and shrugged. “Red is nice. Simple. I think too many colors’d draw too much attention, no?”

[finding-minhee-blog]

“Sure sure,” Minhee’s sarcasm was easily detected as she spoke, turning her back towards the other in favour of the different scarves. “Yeah either go for one colour or maybe a mix of two. Try this one on though, see if it doesn’t itch and all that,” her grin grew as she practically pushed the woollen scarf towards him, urging Kai to try it.

“Did you just open a photo of a cock in front of me??” The girl laughed, thinking the situation was all too funny. “Gotta agree with you on that. I reckon you should go for it.” She mumbles, raising a cigarette to her lips. “You do seem a little too pretty to be into boys, though.” She shrugs.

“Maybe,” a chuckle escaped her as she locked her phone again and turned her attention to the stranger. “Too pretty to be into boys, huh?” She couldn’t help the cocky smirk forming on her lips, her head tilting in the process. “Sounds you would want me to take an interest in girls. But I suppose you could consider yourself lucky. I swing all ways.”

He let the scarf fall away, now sufficiently warmed up, and picked up the excess before it could hit the ground to wind around Minny’s neck. “Okay, okay,” he mumbled, letting himself be dragged along to whichever clothing store she spotted. He really was terrible when it came to shopping, and if it wasn’t for Amy, he’d have been dressed by his mom well into his late teens. “Let’s make sure I don’t look like a dork, okay?”

[finding-minhee-blog]

Giving the other a small smile as if to say thank you, Minhee entered the nearby store. “You’re really giving me an impossible mission here Kai, because you are a dork,” she scrunched her nose lightly as she laughed. Moving towards the section with knitwear, she ran her fingers along a particularly red scarf. “Want a multi-coloured one or just one tone? Bet this red one would look cute.”

[finding-minhee-blog]

A small notification had popped up on her phone, a new snapchat and Minhee was fast to open it. A mistake. The rather explicit image of one of her friends privates had caused her eyes to grow big and a choked up sound to escape her throat. “Oh my god. I will never be able to unsee that.” Then a smirk appeared on her lips, “it was a nice one though, not gonna lie.”

[ohmax]

His brows knit at her statement as he wondered what she meant. He figured there was a reason to her vagueness so he simply tried to brush it off, hoping the conversation wouldn’t die so quickly. Max nodded as the female spoke until she mentioned Kai. The name made his heart jump and with widened eyes, he looked at her in disbelief. “You know Kai? Kai Choi, right?” he asked, wanting to make sure they were talking about the same person. “I’ve got stories. I’ve got tons of stories. Let me think for a second.” He went silent for a second, brainstorming all the possible stories he could tell, until a funny one came up. When one finally came to mind, he found himself chuckling at the memory. “Okay okay, I got one. You ready?”

[finding-minhee-blog]

The incredulous look on his face was amusing to her, lips curving into a smug smile. “Yeah, Kylan,” Minhee nodded, raising one brow as she grew curious to the connection the stranger might have to Kai. “You guys friends?” Another sip from the bottle. Waiting patiently for the other to come up with a story, her brown hues shifted around the bar, to the man trying to get his obviously drunk wife to go home with him to the lonely woman at the other side of the bar. “Alright, let’s hear it.”

“I drink milk, Minhee,” he laughed, bending his knees just slightly so he was a little bit closer to her height. “There, that better? And yeah, hot chocolate is kind of a must at this point.” A bright smile crossed his face as he turned to look at her, the kind of smile he always gave when he was about to say something very ridiculous. “—hey, what if I just got a really warm kigurumi for the winter? Pikachu. Or rilakkuma.”

[finding-minhee-blog]

“Well, guess that is the thing that went wrong in my upbringing.” Ironic. But it made her chuckle nonetheless, slowly moving away from the other and thus making the thick fabric from the scarf slip away from him. “Those are fine for at home, but we gotta get you something to wear outside of home as well. Gotta keep you warm for the winter,” her eyes formed small crescents before taking the other’s hand and tugging them along to the nearby clothing store. “C’mon.”

“Mm. Right. Doona,” he reapeated the name, sounding strange even to him as he stuffed his hands into his pockets. He was sure she didn’t want to start talking about that. Even if he kind of wanted to ask. At the very least it sounded like the family was kind. Burying his face into the scarf as well, he peered over at her, “I’m not doing anything, so yeah, I’m totally down.”

[finding-minhee-blog]

“Yeah,” Minhee nodded lightly, not too keen on exploring the entire topic and instead closing her eyes briefly as the two huddled together in the much too large scarf. “Ya, why are you so tall?” She protested, raising her head towards him as light pout formed on her lips. “But alright yeah, just... just a lil moment longer in warmth and then we’ll get you a warm shawl as well, alright? But we gotta get some hot chocolate later okay? We gotta.”

“Minny, Hana… what would you rather go by?” he asked, a bit unsure of the which of the two to choose as he didn’t want to choose wrong. But again, he was given two options, yet this time, it was all on him. “Depressingly honest, huh?” Humming as he thought about it, he furrowed his brows at the female. “Does it have to be all depressing?” Though he turned to face his body towards her, Max started at a spot on the counter as he considered the other option. “What kinda fun are we talking about?” he asked, not wanting to make any assumptions.

[finding-minhee-blog]

“Minny, but they tell me the name is Hana. I don’t fucking know,” Minhee shook her head, a small laugh escaping her lips as she shrugged and shook her head. She knew she wasn’t supposed to burden others with her problems and that it was probably just a nuisance to the other, but Minhee couldn’t help her sarcastic responses for humour seemed like the only way to deal with the situation, how twisted it may have been. “Let’s hope not, but fuck does it seem like it. Kai seriously is the only one who makes me feel at least a little sane in this shitty town,” her bottle was brought to her lips briefly, not at all aware of Max’s connection to the person she considered herself most closest to. “Just anything, games, a funny story, just some entertainment.”

“I can’t even imagine what you’re going through,” he laughed, shuffling closer to unravel a bit of the smaller girl’s scarf and wrap it around his own neck. Sharing is caring after all. “I don’t get how you’re more prepared than I am—but yeah, shopping would be… a good idea. I kinda suck at picking things out for myself.”

[finding-minhee-blog]

Fixing the scarf further around the other, Minhee chuckled lightly, somehow finding the situation rather endearing. His statement however caused her to purse her lips briefly before speaking. “Doona got it for me. Saying she didn’t want me to catch a cold and be prepared for Brighton or whatever,” the word ‘mother’ refused to leave her lips just yet, obviously uncomfortable using such a term for someone who seemed like a perfect stranger. “Alright, I have some time right now. ...If you want?”

I didn’t like having to explain to them, so I just shut up, smoked a cigarette, and looked at the sea.

“Snow? In the beginning of October? This is crazy, Oregon hardly got any snow at all,” Kai commented as he read the weather off his phone, pulling his sweater more snugly over his chest with the other hand. “I don’t even have a winter coat.”

[finding-minhee-blog]

“This place is really still something to get used to,” Minhee muttered, her head shaking slightly before she ducked her face further into her warm scarf. “Perhaps it’s a good idea to invest in that though. We could go shopping together?”
