minatozaki sana. 1996.12.29.
a girl with a big heart and even bigger love for food and good things. made in osaka, japan with one cup of cute, one spoonful of sexy(?).
"no sana, no life!"
the buzzing of his phone has gyu reaching in to quickly check in on the message. at sana’s texts, he immediately looks up to scan the area up ahead. it’s crowded today, thereby making ‘girl with a green tea’ a bit challenging to use as an identifier, however, gyu’s never been one to shy away from an interesting game. he pockets the phone again and takes the novel with him ( if it turns out he needs an escape in the end, a book ‘to buy’ is always handy! ) before making his way over to the cafe. a quick assessment of the people here doesn’t come without further clues: he knows sana is a girl, eliminating about 40% of the people standing around. that, combined with someone who’d be near the counter… and looking for someone herself–
ah, there. a short girl with a searching expression to match his. gyu can’t be sure it’s sana just by her looks alone but why would he, a rational-thinking male, ever pass up the opportunity to ask a pretty girl her name? some mistakes weren’t mistakes at all. “hey.” he approaches her with ( what he hopes ) is a friendly manner and gyu checks out the cup in her hands with interest. “are you sana? janna’s twin sister?”
her tactic to find sunggyu is similar to his own, first looking for a male around the cafe. there are more females than males, thank goodness, hopefully making her search for him a lot easier. she glances down at her phone once more, hoping she'd receive another text from sunggyu before she's having to look for him again, though when she hears someone call for her (or at least she thinks he's calling for her), she turns to look.
before he has a chance to finish his sentence, she's smiling brightly, soon interrupting him with a, "gyu-kun?!" she brings up a hand to cover her mouth as she giggles in delight, lightly bouncing on the balls of her feet. "ah! it is so nice to finally meet you! it is i, janna's twin sister! though i don't have long ears like her, ne?" she tucks a lock of her hair behind her ear, leaning a bit towards him to show him before letting out another giggle. "what do you think? am i better than my twin sister?"

» i’d accuse u of copying me bc i also love green tea
» but since u brought it up first i guess i’ll let you have it this time ㅋㅋ
» maybe you should’ve cosplayed? >< that’d be easier on both of us
after firing off the last reply with a click of a button, gyu pockets his phone into his jeans with a quiet sigh. despite the obvious plans already made, meeting sana in person was still a reality he hadn’t quite accepted yet; knowing someone online and talking to them daily created a different level of intimacy than one born of being forced to meet physically face-to-face with them. and for some, the former was the better circumstance– gyu included.
( he only hoped he wouldn’t regret this. )
as promised, he takes up a spot near his favorite manga section and prepares to wait her arrival out. plucking up the latest youkoso light novel, gyu flips through the pages idly, absorbing a volume he’s already read twice with his own copy at home. luckily, it’s a pretty good one.
[ ✉ : gyuzreal 🌟 ] cosplay? i do not have the costumes!
[ ✉ : gyuzreal 🌟 ] maybe someday i can! ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ
she's excited than she is nervous, far more than she probably should be to meet someone she met online. she knows she should be a little more careful, but sunggyu certainly doesn't sound like a serial killer out to befriend girls online and murder them in person; he's been nothing but kind since the first game of league they had been matched up together in.
so without a second thought, she makes her way inside the bookstore they promised to meet at, and heads straight for the cashier situated at the cafe section. she glances around curiously, taking a quick look at everyone there ( a lot of people were here today, apparently ) before turning back to the cashier, a bright smile on her face. "ah, may i have a small cup of iced green tea?"
[ ✉ : gyuzreal 🌟 ] are you here already?
[ ✉ : gyuzreal 🌟 ] i have just ordered some green tea! (•̪┌┐•̪ )

( become a star, soonyoung-kun—. )
rkship: minatozaki sana x kwon soonyoung (@rkhoshi)
they're not in the same class, but sana comes to find out that that's not the reason why she hardly ever sees soonyoung at school.
it's weird because she swears the person she walks with to school in the morning is definitely soonyoung, but whenever lunchtime comes around and she peeks inside the window of the classroom next door, it's like her mind is playing games with her... like she never walked with him because he's not there.
"ne, where were you at lunchtime?" she asks during dinner, glancing up from her food with a smile as soonyoung does with a blink. there's a noticeable pause, like he has to think about it, and she awkwardly looks over at his parents that seem to be waiting for an answer, too. noticing a speechless soonyoung, she quickly adds, "ah-- i was looking for you! because i thought we could have lunch together, ne?"
"bathroom!" he finally exclaims, his eyes arching with his smile. "sorry you missed me! lunchtime is bathroom time for me, you know? i drink a lot of water, ha! --haha!"
at first, his reason seems plausible-- she goes to the restroom during lunchtime, too-- but when she realizes his disappearance is a constant thing and he isn't there during breaks between periods either, she senses that there's something else at play.
"ne, let's eat lunch together tomorrow?" she finally suggests with a smile on their way home one afternoon, hands locked behind her back as she merrily puts skips in her steps. what really raises her suspicion is when the usual "yes man" soonyoung lightly fiddles with the straps on his backpack, even more so when his eyes become shifty as he thinks.
"ummm..." he drawls. "we can," he says, and sana knows something's definitely up because his answer isn't a "yes" or a "sure".
what really puts the icing on the cake is when he walks her home one day before turning on his heels to head for hagwon as usual; he walks in the opposite direction of what she usually sees. that's not the way to hagwon, is it? she knows she shouldn't, but she waits for him to turn at the corner before following behind him, eager to know just what he's up to.
what sana sees that day isn't a mere reason why soonyoung's constantly absent; it's much more than that. much bigger. she stands there watching him for hours and hours in secret, witnessing his shirt become victim to his sweat and hard work as he smiles and laughs and practically glows while dancing with fellow passionate dreamers. what sana sees that day sparks millions of different things within her that were once forgotten, and the feeling is beyond overwhelming.
"why weren't you at hagwon today?" at the sound of soonyoung's father's voice, sana freezes in her spot at the top of the stairs and carefully peers over to find another speechless soonyoung. "your teacher said you weren't there."
"i, uh--"
"well?" his mother chimes in, and sana's body moves before her mind does.
"he was with me!" she chirps, sleeved hands finding the stair railing as the kwon family of three turn their heads to look up at her. her smile is sweet as always, not once faltering at the look of confusion on soonyoung's face as she continues. "we were at the library to study; i asked him for help." she tries her best with her broken korean, making her way all the way down to the end of the stairs as soonyoung's parents exchange glances with one another.
"well, sana certainly wouldn't lie..."
she just did, but she plays it off with another smile before bowing her head respectfully when the two adults make their way upstairs after a mutter of good nights. soonyoung watches his parents' backs grow further and further away before turning to look at sana when they're finally gone.
"why did you do that?" he whispers, frowning. "what if you get into trouble because of me--"
"soonyon-kun!" she takes his hands, bringing them up to shake them gently as her eyes light up with excitement. "i saw you! i saw it-- your dance!"
soonyoung blanches visibly, as if he's seen or heard something absolutely terrible, and at the sight, sana's hold around his hands grows a bit tighter.
"i won't tell ajussi or ajumma, don't worry." her gaze searches for a look of relief on soonyoung's face, her insides dying to tell him so many different things that would probably just end up coming out as word vomit if she's not careful. "you're amazing; is that what you have been doing during schooltime? is that what you want to do? your dream?"
"i-- i want to, but--"
she's asking him too many things at once that he's having a difficult time keeping up, she knows, and before he's able to properly answer anything, she speaks up again.
"become a star, soonyoung-kun!"
soonyoung blinks. "... eh?"
"follow your dreams; i will be cheering you on always!
「星になってね、スニョン君。」

Caught up in his thoughts, on his consistent hesitancy over whether he wanted to commit to a new piercing or not, he hadn’t noticed anyone approaching – nor that a girl had come to stand behind him. His hand reaching and retracting from the handle, pressing to his chest as if it were burnt and he were about to scurry away before anyone noticed. None of him was prepared for the voice, to swirl around to the sight of the girl and his entirety jumped; flinched at the sight of the girl. The immediate rush of thoughts were childish; that he were being followed, that she were going to tattle on him to his mother, that she was an agent for his mother.
“Ah, ah.. I.. I.. Yeah?” Joshua just wanted to stop stuttering, to stop himself from rambling on like he were choking on his own thoughts and he tried to bob his head in politeness. But it was more to hide the burn of hot red in his cheeks up his neck and work out what he was doing. “I was going to get another piercing. Here –” he lifted his hand up to pinch at the curve of his ear, and glancing at her. She hadn’t asked, but he didn’t know how to talk when his heart was drumming a thousand miles a minute. “But I’m not sure,” he finally admits, confesses; like a weight off his chest that had fallen there in a few seconds after he said ‘yeah’.
"oh--" she lets out with a small smile at the male's reaction, bringing up a hand to her mouth. "ah, i am sorry! i did not mean to scare you!" she didn't mean to, but it seems she had, and she feels a little bad. she tries not to chuckle at how cute the stranger seems all flustered before leaning in slightly for a better look when he points out where he thought about getting another piercing, and she nods in agreement.
"that would be a nice piercing! and shou-san would do a very good job with it! --that's the owner of the shop, by the way." another friendly smile finds her lips as she reaches for the door instead of the male's arm (in case he's not comfortable with a stranger touching him), and she turns to look at him. "i think you should go for it! it would look very nice on you and sit very nicely with the piercing you have already." her eyes practically sparkle with interest at his words, curious as to what could be holding him back from getting the piercing.
"if you are afraid, i could hold your hand while you get it?" she says jokingly, a soft giggle leaving her lips as she does so.
[ kkt ⇾ sanna 🎀 ] jsyk d-29 til my ez gets his guardian wings ^^
[ kkt ⇾ sanna 🎀 ] u still okay with meeting up tonight?
[ ✉ : gyuzreal 🌟 ] ah, i cannot wait! ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ
[ ✉ : gyuzreal 🌟 ] maybe i will get ahri’s skin!
[ ✉ : gyuzreal 🌟 ] though i look best in my janna skin, ne? (•̪┌┐•̪ )
[ ✉ : gyuzreal 🌟 ] yes, i am okay! where will we be meeting?
when she spotted her at the park, jihyo finally decided that it was the last straw.
lately, it didn’t matter where she went—the other girl was almost always there. it was probably nothing more than the kind of crazy, impressive coincidence that you see in movies—but jihyo just had to discover what was up. was there more to the story? was it destiny that they should meet, so the hand of fate was constantly trying to place them on each other’s paths? jihyo wasn’t going to pretend that she knew the answer, but it did feel rather strange.
“hey! you!” she finally called out to the stranger, breaking the silence that they had maintained literally every other time that they had seen each other. “i know it’s pretty darn weird, but i feel like i see you everywhere. what’s up with that?” she asked, amused laughter bubbling up from within her. “literally everywhere. am i crazy, or have you noticed it too?”
she's feeding birds when she hears someone calling for her (or at least she thinks they're calling for her), and she turns her head to see who it is. she forms an 'o' shape with her mouth when she realizes she recognizes the other female, though recognizing is all she does; she doesn't quite know the person. sana won't say that she's an expert at remembering faces of strangers, but when she's seen a particular stranger so many times for the past two weeks or so, she's bound to recognize them.
"ah-- yes! i have seen you too!" she's also amused and curious as to what could be an explanation for this, but decides at last minute as she sticks out a hand that it really could be fate bringing her a new friend. "i am sana! we have seen each other a lot lately; might as well know each other's names, yes?" she says with a bright smile, round cheeks raising up to her eyes as she does so.
There was a coat of sweat on Joshua’s hands as he stared at the piercing shop. Out of everything, this was one thing his mother would tolerate; or more so, she would take two weeks to notice and if he were careful, she wouldn’t notice at all. A tiny new pin prick in his ear, a tiny flesh of rebellion, a tiny mark of how he was nineteen now and his mother couldn’t stop him. There was less anger from the woman if she knew he could pull it out and it would heal over. Still, he was hesitant. He’d been considering getting another piercing in his ear for the last two months and every time he left school, passing by the same shop–filled with the scent of disinfectant and teens–he changed his mind. Today would be the day, today he would go in and he would commit – or at least, he would commit until he got scared of being scolded, pull out the ring and let it heal over slowly while his mother was distracted. He was headed for the door this time, managed his way to the handle and then was swayed back away, turning to flee from his decision.
during her breaks, she likes visiting friends nearby with some treats in hand from sweet avenue, and today is no exception as she visits "shou-san" at the tattoo and piercing shop. it hadn't been too long since she had met the man at where she worked, but considering how they were practically hometown buddies, hailing from osaka, it wasn't too hard for them to bond as quickly as they did. he was a peculiar man, hair always an abnormal color-- like he was a character that jumped straight out from an anime-- and body covered in tattoos and piercings that turned heads whenever he walked into the cafe, but sana found out simply by talking to him that he was very friendly and kind despite his rather scary appearance.
turning at a corner towards shou's shop, she sees someone standing at the door, and she smiles to herself. a customer for shou-san? she stands behind him curiously and peers over his shoulder into the shop before taking a few steps back when he does, her lips finding a bright smile when he turns around. "hello there! are you headed inside?"
