walk on memories.

of all the people he could have run into, he didn’t think dahye would be one. it was ages ago when they had had their little, innocent romance. he still remembered the awkward first kiss - she had tasted like strawberries. he had been so young, and it had all felt like a dream. like the pilot episode of a cheesy kdrama. it was everything he had wanted it to be. looking back on it, however, he realized how embarrassing the entire ordeal was. 

she had grown up so much, so it wasn’t easy recognizing her, but after enough overt squinting in her direction, he was able to figure out who it was. her features were so womanly now, he felt a heated flush fill his cheeks as he noticed her curves. he liked her hair though, the light colour, the long length. it was really pretty... it suited her. 

he needed a couple minutes to summon up the courage to do it, but eventually he managed to get to his feet and go over, nudging her shoulder with his as he leaned in to speak quietly, his voiced a hushed tone. “hey bunny.” bunny. that’s what he called her way back when. she was always so soft and precious looking like one, at least to him she was. she had grown out of her bunny looks, but she would always be his bunny.

bffs.

trainee life was shit right now. family was shit. love life was shit. friends were all shit. self-confidence? double shit. everything was pure and utter shit.

everything except dahye.

dahye had proven to be shiah’s constant in life. she was her number one, the person who was always there to keep her going, and they were doing everything together. dahye was shiah’s best friend, at this point they were practically sisters. everything was shit, yeah, but as long as shiah had dahye then it all didn’t really matter. it was bearable, she could get through it with dahye at her side. if she didn’t have dahye then the girl quite literally had no idea what she would do. 

she knew dahye’s birthday was soon though, and it was kind of ironic that their birthdays were so close together (within the same month, both virgos too). dahye’s birthday was going to be a good, positive thing for both of them to be happy about, because shiah knew dahye, and she knew the girl was in the same boat as shiah too. 

she hobbled on over to the bench of the practice room, plunking down on it in an exhausted fashion before looking to her unnie, a lazy, half-assed smile forming on her lips. “unnie, your birthday is soon. we need to do stuff. fun stuff. we’re going to make it the best day ever, yeah?”

as much as shiah loved training 24/7 and practically dying all the time, getting out of the royal building and having a little fun was great and loved by shiah too. to be quite honest she needed to get away from training for a bit. she loved it but she was starting to get a little sick of it, especially with how hectic everything was getting over that show royal was doing to select their new girl group. she just had to get away from the crazy and relax.

of course shiah had dragged dahye along too, the woman rapidly becoming her best friend. their idea of fun was usually a bar and some alcohol, loud music, and not remembering anything the next morning, but they had made a pact to swear such things off. with the crazy hours they had for training it didn’t leave much to do afterwards that wasn’t associated with the kryptonite that was the nightlife for them, but when shiah had heard about the nocturnal exhibit at the zoo and their late hours she had grabbed dahye and marched right out the front door of the royal building to go relax and have a little fun.

along the way they had run into seoyoung, another trainee at royal. shiah didn’t know her very well, they hadn’t worked together for any performances or evaluations really, they had just been co-existing under the royal roof. this seemed like the perfect opportunity to get to know her though, and so shiah had also dragged her along as well. now, waiting in line at the zoo to get in and see their fluffy nocturnal animals, shiah turned excitedly to the other two girls, bouncing a bit in place. “are you guys excited? i can’t wait to see them! i bet they’re all really cute.”

:// new kids w/ dahye

oh boy.

shiah had made it into royal and to be very honest, it was so overwhelming for her that she wasn’t sure any of it was real. she was a trainee now, her. how had that even happened? she couldn’t even remember as she stepped into the building and started to make her way through the halls. the even more shocking part was that she had been signed with a fellow friend, dahye. dahye her clubbing buddy and surprisingly easy to talk to confidant. the idea of them possibly debuting together... she wanted to scream with excitement!

good thing she didn’t, it was too early for that.

the schedule was a little demanding, but with shiah not being in school it was easy for her to accommodate it. the tricky part would be adjusting. to her right was dahye though, looking way worse off than shiah did, and on instinct she reached to grab dahye’s hand and squeeze it reassuringly. “wake up unnie, we have a long day ahead of us. our first day...” 

that was way too surreal for her, even just saying it gave her a chill. she rounded a corner, fairly certain she was leading dahye at this point, heading towards the dining hall where breakfast was being served, hopefully the food would be good. hopefully there wouldn’t be too many judging eyes on them either.

what was she thinking? of course there would be.

:// turn up w/dahye

with shiah's clear decision to become a proper part of toshi's life it was only right that she make an effort to make a good impression on his friends. dahye was one of those friends. she had only heard good things about the girl, and the success the woman was seeing gave shiah nothing but good vibes. she already had respect for this woman and she hadn’t even properly met her yet. if shiah was being honest, she was rather intimidated by this woman. it wasn’t to say that shiah thought she herself wasn’t successful, dahye’s reputation simply spoke volumes, and the pressure was on to impress her.

how to do that in a clubbing, drinking, partying, next-to-skank-ing setting was beyond her.

she had relayed the message through toshi for dahye to meet shiah outside club 11 in hongdae if she was interested in having a fun girls night with a ‘potential new friend’ as she had put it. she stood in the chill with her coat tugged over her outfit - shorts, a black velvet peasant blouse, and a leather corset with nylons and ankle boots on underneath, ready to dance and looking hot while still covering up - looking around for the other, hoping her invitation wouldn’t be ignored.

au starter for @dahyexrk

it had been a long day at work, but he had a smile on his face nonetheless. one of his students hadn’t been too happy with him, but he cared about the kid’s education and was making the effort to show him that someone cared. kids these days were quite rebellious, but there was reason behind it and he was determined to break through to the kid. it wasn’t an easy feat though, and it left him rather exhausted. one day he’d get the hang of being a professor, but until then he’d have to tread carefully and do his best.

despite all the hard work, there was a broad smile on his face as he made his way home (by foot of course, walking was healthier, and with the traffic in seoul is was much easier and quicker getting home this way anyways). why was he smiling? he knew he had an angel to come home to, of course. 

somehow, someway, he had managed to keep in touch with dahye ever since their little summer romance they had shared. he had made a habit of sending her letters every month with different song lyrics and poems written in them about her. he was certain she had had boyfriends and crushes elsewhere during that time, but he never let her forget him, and soon enough she had come back to seoul and to him. he didn’t let the chance slip him by, and two years later here they were, living together, making a life together. he couldn’t have been happier. 

“honey, i’m home!”
