“Which animal shelter?”, Aesin mused for a second, gently using her fingers to close Byeol’s fist, making sure she’d keep the pin to herself. With her head cocked to the side for a few moments, she finally came to the conclusion that; “The one close to Hwajeon subway station.” The thought reminded her of how she sometimes liked to get lost in the city, trying to find little mysteries within the sea of skyscrapers.
There was just this problem about the question Byeol had asked her –– After all, Aesin wasn’t really paying that much attention to the cloud, as her stare had somehow wandered back to the other female. Byeol was special, she radiated an overpowering energy, something that Aesin had never felt before. She bit her lower lip, thinking, as she tilted her head back up, looking at the cloud formations. “Maybe it is a star. Just like you.”, Aesin said with a bright smile, nudging the other’s shoulder, enjoying any sort of connection with her. “Or maybe it is a starfish.”
A chuckle escaped her lips as she pondered about her own, stupid words. Usually, she never said anything like that, even jokes were something she just didn’t really enjoy or partake in. She was a woman of few words anyways, as she liked to think about the words she chose in her head before actually speaking them out loud –– but whenever she was with Byeol, her entire being seemed to change; Suddenly she liked saying stupid things just to make the girl laugh, suddenly she was touchy and craved every little brush against the other, the only thing that seemed like normality was her looking at the clouds, and still –– she saw Byeol up there.
She turned back to Byeol, gently placing one of her hands on her shoulder plate, enjoying the feeling of fabric against her fingertips. “Would you like to get some ice cream, dear?”, Aesin asked, suddenly craving the sweet, frozen liquid. “What’s your favorite flavor?”, and there it was, that thirst to know everything about the other still needed to be quenched.
as aesin explained which animal shelter had been so kind as to give her such a lovely pin, byeol's eyes widened and lightened. "i know that one!" when she used to have to commute to her old job, she'd pass by it nearly every day on her way. she always had wanted to venture inside and ask if there was anything she could possibly do -- volunteering was something she enjoyed to no end, after all -- but she never got around to doing it. no surprise that aesin had, however; to byeol, aesin was capable of anything. "it's lovely and i'm sure you helped a lot of animals, so it's a win-win."
the possibility of the cloud not only being a star but a starfish enchanted byeol. count on aesin to allow her to look at the world in a different light. cocking her head to the side, she flashed a grin at the cloud in question. "if you say it's a starfish, then it's a starfish! i’ll just follow your lead, aesin."
whenever byeol was around aesin, she found herself constantly wanting more. not in the obvious way ( okay, well, not really, at least ) but more in the type of way in which she wanted to sit down and listen to aesin’s entire, unabridged life story. byeol would be hung on her every word ( as had become the norm whenever she was with the brilliant, bright-eyed girl. )
the prospect of ice cream sounds too good to pass up, especially since byeol was regretting putting on a sweater for the day’s events. she was usually freezing no matter where she was or what she was wearing, but today was different. it could have been because aesin was around which heightened all of byeol’s senses. maybe it could have just been the fact that byeol was sure she was blushing a deep, dark red. “ice cream sounds great, and i know a really cool place nearby that offers nearly 20 flavors!” she affirmed before furrowing her brow at the way she sounded. “i sound like a commercial. anyway, my favorite flavor is raspberry swirl. it’s so good. what is yours?”
