meilin was definitely nervous about meeting his parents,despite how the male has met hers more times than she can count. she has heard many wonderful things about them and she knew they must be wonderful people, but the girl can’t help but think that it might be a little awkward. she doesn’t know how to sign, how will she be able to express herself? the girl holds back in a sigh and looks at her boyfriend - looks at the desperation in his eyes and feels herself giving in. “fine,” says the girl. “okay, i’ll meet your parents.” a pause. “what should i wear?”

❝Something like what you're wearing now is fine,❞ he answers. He reaches out to take Meilin's hand in his, smiling softly. ❝Don't be nervous. I'll teach you some basic signs before we go visit, and they're going to love you. I promise. My father said I haven't talked about anyone the way I talk about you, so you're already in his good graces,❞ he laughs.

          her brother is already sticking his head in the freezer to pick out a popsicle by the time gaeul has even reached the first aisle. she trusts he won’t cause a ruckus, but stays close just in case. ❛ it’s a really lovely day, right ?? the weather is perfect. ❜ small talk ;; chit chat is good !!

❝The best,❞ Cameron agrees, her eyes going to the blossoming trees lining the other side of the street. ❝Definitely better than the kind of snow and rain we've been getting these last few months. Oh, and by the way, that popsicle's gonna be on the house if that's okay with you?❞

❝ You don’t know anything. ❞ Her hands push against him now, small legs struggle to push herself off his back clumsily as she snapped the words. ❝ You don’t, got it? I shouldn’t have called I can-. I can walk home, whatever. Go away. ❞

❝I don't think it's in your best interest to fight the person who's nice enough to carry you home,❞ Jaehun sing-songs, irritation evident in his voice. He wants to ask what events led to Mina being so reckless, but he doesn't want another cryptic answer. ❝I won't talk the rest of the way, okay?❞

she holds herself close to his side, walking with him back outside as he starts to lead the way to the resturant. she catches the attention of one of the girl’s from her history class whose she’s somewhat friendly with that’s sitting on a bench across the way, who raises a brow at her, smirk forming on her lips. shima smirks back, giving her a small wave before turning her attention back to youngjin as he starts talking. her phone vibrates in her bag, and she knows it’s her classmate wanting all the details - but she ignores it. she frowns a little, feeling guilty she asked him to talk more about it in the first place. before she can apologize however, he’s already changed the subject. her mouth falls open upon hearing he saw her at the showcase - she had no idea he had even been in the audience. quickly, she shuts her jaw closed again, face growing hot as well as her palms and neck. and then he said he could watch her dance all day? she giggles, burying her face in her free hand, grinning from ear to ear. her heart was racing 900 miles per minute at this point. “ah… yea, i-i’m working on something right now, actually…” she brings her face up out of her hand, but still doesn’t dare look at youngjin, her cheeks still bright red. “i could show you it sometime, if you wanted… i had no idea you saw me dance then…”

He caught sight of a student giving Shima a face that screamed "scheming," and he made a mental note to ask about it later. Now that Shima had mentioned it, he had never told her he was at the showcase. Youngjin did want to congratulate her in the lobby outside of the theater after the show was finished, but he didn't want to go through the struggle of being a babbling, incoherent mess in front of her.

❝I did see you,❞ he confirms, observing the landscape of Shima's side profile. ❝You're really talented, you know that right? I don't think there's anyone that dances the way you can.❞ His face flushes slightly at saying this - no one told him to be that honest, but she deserves all the praises in the world for how gifted she is.

          the question leaves an anxious look on sowon’s face that she tries to hide immediately. to be quite honest, she’s not feeling too hot about meeting her boyfriend’s parents, but that’s the LAST thing she wants him to know. ❛ it’s not the hearing thing i’m worried about, ❜ she began, tucking a lock of hair behind her ear, ❛ but more of the LIKING thing. i know you only said good stuff, but… what if they don’t like me still ?? ❜

He nods, understanding where his girlfriend is coming from. He was sweating bullets the first time he met Sowon's parents, so nervous he had forgotten to zip up his fly (something Sowon's father was more than happy to point out). But at the end of the night, it was obvious to them how much he loves Sowon, and that's what mattes the most.

❝Look, I laid down two ground rules for them. One, no sharing of my embarrassing childhood photos. Two, trust that meeting you is the best thing to happen to me,❞ Joonyoung says. He wraps his arms around Sowon's back, nose touching the nape of her neck. ❝They'll love you. Adore you. I know it's scary, but they're the best people ever. And I'm not just saying that because they're my parents,❞ he laughs.

          after a rather boring day spent at home, gaeul and her little brother decided that it was a good idea to go out for a snack from the convenience store. the nice spring weather and cool breeze made the girl smile — maybe this year will be different from the rest. ❛ no running, jaeho-yah !! ❜ the elder female called as the two entered the store. gaeul nodded towards the cashier with an apologetic smile. ❛ sorry, five year olds can be a handful. ❜

Cameron practically coos at the sight of the boy, wondering how any human could be so small and so darn cute. She's always liked kids, her maternal instinct usually being the butt of jokes within her friend group. She doesn't mind - they're missing out on how awesome children are anyway. ❝It's no big deal. Kids are kids,❞ she replies coolly, smiling at the customer.

SooYeon looked at the girl in front of her. It was not like she has lost the earrings. They were simply moved to one of the shelves in Salem’s desk. “But have you checked in your desk? I placed them there in a box in order not to lose them.” She said as she looked down feeling guilty.

She didn't check the desk. With a sigh, Salem sat down on her bed, unable to look at Sooyeon. ❝I'm sorry. It's just... I'm not really close with my dad. He's always traveling the world, he never has enough time for me, so whenever he actually takes the time to show that he's thinking about me,❞ she sniffs, ❝it means a lot. And those earrings remind me that some part of me is on his mind. It's stupid. I shouldn't have yelled.❞

SooYeon smiled brightly as she sat comfortably on the spot next to the guy. “Thank you.” She spoke with her calm voice as she took a sip from her drink. “Are you here by yourself? Are you with your girlfriend or friends?” She tried talking to the stranger even though that he looked like he did not want to be bothered. It was too awkward for them to be sitting next to each other and not talk. At least for SooYeon.

Oh boy. The girlfriend question. He doesn't know if this girl just wants to talk to him or have it lead to something more than that, but the urge to blurt, 'I'm gay!' is resting comfortably on the tip of his tongue. He doesn't want to end the night with a drink being splashed onto him out of anger, but leading her on would just be rude. ❝Actually, uh,❞ Yuanjun murmurs, ❝I don't have a girlfriend.❞ He pauses. ❝I don't really want one, if you know what I mean?❞ He hopes she does. Explaining himself is way too uncomfortable.

“Ahh. Please tell me. What did I do wrong? Why are you mad at me?” SooYeon asked with a trembling voice. She would do anything now to simply fix the situation and if there was something that she has done not on purpose.

❝You keep moving stuff when I specifically put it in certain places! I like knowing where everything is you know!❞ Salem snaps. She had left her good luck earrings on the coffee table, but Sooyeon had moved them somewhere else during one of her sporadic cleaning days. ❝Now I can't find them, and I have to go in for this interview with this stupid publishing company, and my dad gave me those earrings! They always give me luck!❞

SooYeon was begged one hour to visit the club by her friends, who were about to enjoy a social gathering finally after their exams. She was now wandering around the club like a lost puppy. This was for sure not the thing she enjoyed most, but she could handle a night out, right?

She was simply looking for a free spot to sit at and chill a bit with a drink. She finally spotted a free spot close to a charming guy in the corner of the club sitting there and ignoring everything that is happening around him. “I-uhm-I’m sorry, but is this spot free?” She asked as she pointed to the free spot next to him.

Yuanjun eyes the girl for a moment, skeptical. He doesn't want to be bothered, but she seems harmless enough with the way she was wandering around like a newborn baby giraffe.. ❝Yeah, it's free, he answers,❞ his throat a bit dry. He pauses to take a sip of his drink, still examining her. The most noticeable physical trait was her baby face, which only increased how lost she looked under the garish neon lighting of the room. ❝You can sit here.❞

It's another slow day at the convenience store. The spring weather is perfect, Cameron opening a few windows in the store to let the gentle breeze in. There's never really much traffic during weekdays, she knows this, but she's still bored out of her mind. Her phone isn't an option because her moms said she'll come off as lazy and "deter customers from coming in with her hostile nature," so she decides to count the number of divots and craters in the ceiling (again, for the hundredth time). When she gets to the one shaped like Saturn, the door to the store opens.

Yuanjun isn't the type to make himself the center of attention at social gatherings. He's the one people complain about when they talk about people who 'hug the wall' at parties, but unless anyone is willing to see him do the entire rap to 'Waterfalls' by TLC, they're better off staying quiet. This kickback is no different. He has a drink in hand, he's watching people grind on each other like animals dance together, drink together, and do all kinds of stupid stuff together. And he's happy minding his own business until he spots an attractive stranger take a vacant spot on the suede couch.

❝Look, just come meet my parents this weekend?❞ Joonyoung begs his girlfriend, his fingers crossed behind his back. They've been dating for five months now, and Joonyoung has already met her parents on multiple occasions. ❝It won’t be awkward. I can interpret the whole time and I promise they’ll love you. I’ve only said good things - great things,❞ he confirms. ❝Please?❞

although she laughs at his bicycle joke, what youngjin says next has shima staring at him in awe, listening intently to the man talk about his thesis. she can see the passion behind his eyes and hear it in his voice, and she loves seeing anyone talk about their passions, even if she doesn’t share them. it just brings her joy to see others have that light inside them - the blonde is much more of a listener than a talker in most cases. in fact for a while, she had debated going into the counseling field, but realized it probably wouldn’t be a good fit as she tended to get emotionally involved in others problems and issues - and that’s something you have to seperate yourself from as a counselor. “no, don’t apologize. it sounds so interesting. and the fact that you got to interview people who were alive during it… that must have been an amazing experience.” she grins genuinley at him, walking over to the book deposit and dropping her books in, giving a wave to the familiar librarian that sat behind the desk a few feet away. turning back to youngjin, she takes his arm again, hoping he’s not getting annoyed with how much she’s touching him. “you should tell me more about it. i’m not very familiar with that subject, other than the fact that i know certain parts of africa is still under british monarch control.”

It's a little difficult to talk about imperialism when Shima's finding every excuse to make physical contact with him. He's not complaining, of course, but everything she does makes him nervous, and everything he does is probably making her nervous, and damn, his palms are sweating again. He’s also starving, but the restaurant was only five minutes away, putting his hunger at bay.

❝Honestly, it’s depressing to learn about, Youngjin admits. ❝You wonder how people can be so awful to each other, you know?❞ He lets out a sigh, absentmindedly tapping his fingers on Shima's upper arm. ❝But taking a major tangent, have you been choreographing lately? That piece you did at the last showcase was amazing.❞ He pauses, looking at Shima with a sly grin.  ❝I could watch you dance all day.❞
