“I am a citizen of the law, eonni,” the younger replies as she drives past the intersection. (Leave it to Soyi to be the one to drive her eonnis and her two younger groupmates to and from the convenience store for free Slushees and ice cream.) “I abide by rules, speed limits being one of them.” –She says as she’s driving 5kph over the limit. It’s alright. Their manager’s not there with them.
Citizen, schmitizen. Since the day she came out the womb, Miyeon had little regard for rules and laws, and there’s no chance of that changing any time soon-- not when everything she wants is available with a little bit of shortcuts and trickery, or in this case, an extra push on the gas pedal. “But Soyiiiiii--” she starts to whine in English, filling the car with the unavoidable sound of her high pitched antics. “Do you know how hot it is? It’s melting! And we don’t want to waste food, do we? So I think it’s only fair that I eat your ice cream since we won’t be able to get it back to the dorms before it’s soup.”
