Sejin NS1000
As always, what's new can be found on the Dumbphone Repo.
The Sejin NS1000 ought to get its own post some day. That simple looking phone was a bit infamous for some use cases, but the interesting part to me is how its MIDI softsynth makes heavy use of Roland SC-55 samples!
Sejin is a stronger woman than me, cause if I was in her place seeing Seung Tak doing everything to help/save Youngmin, going to Youngmin's house to get his clothes & supposedly knowing where Youngmin keeps money stashed, I would just assume they were dating.....
The blinding sunlight penetrated the glass window and lit up the living room of the Parks' house where at 6:59 in the morning, all 3 of them were sound asleep and still in dreamland. Sounds of the birds outside the window in their nests and the low rumbles of the vehicles on the road could be heard well, for that was how silent the house was.
Well, it was silent until her clock hit 7am and the alarm went off, causing the sleeping beauty to wake up and immediately rushing off, out of her bedroom and straight into her parent's. Poor bunny plushie's head had been dragged on the marble flooring. How should she wake her parents up? She could go stand beside them and tug on their pajamas. Or she could stand still where she was at the door and call out to them until they woke. Maybe climb in between them to shake them awake?
"OOPFHHS" Or she could jump onto her daddy and pull him awake. Yes.
"Good morning daddy! Mommy wake up!" she happily greeted, completely unfazed that her father was coughing due to the impact of her weight on him and him alone.
Poor Seonghwa had still been coughing, "go-good morning to you too baby. How did you sleep?" he asked. Despite being attacked without warning, he wrapped his arm around his daughter. A father's instinct to make sure she doesn't fall off the bed and hurt herself.
"I see the little gremlin succeeded in waking up by herself" greeted her mother, whose eyes were falling back down.
She playfully hit her mother on the arms, saying "I'm no gremlin ... I'm a princess! Daddy's princess! Right, daddy??".
Seonghwa turned his head to look at his daughter's face and smiled warmly, "right baby". Their daughter's eyes turned crescent as she nodded at her mother as if saying 'see'.
"Get up please! It's time for school...it's time for school! I need to go to school! Eeee" she screeched excitedly.
"Honey, can you help her get dressed? I need a few more minute of shut eye. I'll be there in a bit" asked his wife.
The Parks had moved into the neighbourhood not too long ago. Last night his wife had been awake till late hours washing the dishes to make sure there were no dusts or mites on them since it came out of the moving boxes. This morning, it was Sejin's first day of pre-school.
"Sure sweetheart. Go back to sleep, I got this" assured Seonghwa, completely forgetting how hyper his daughter can be at times. But he'll manage. Right? Pulling aside the duvet, he stood up and was led to the bathroom.
"Daddy, I need you to help me wash my hair super clean ok?"
"What do you want to smell like today princess? Strawberry? Honey?" asked daddy Seonghwa, holding up 2 bottles for Sejin to choose. She thought long and hard, "Honey!" came her answer a second later. "Hahaha ok baby. Today you'll be the princess of the bee hive".
It had been a while since Seonghwa got to bathe his only daughter. He'd been so busy with work that he missed cleaning her up and hearing her tell him whatever dream she had that night.
"Alright baby. I think you're done! Wanna pick what you want to wear to school today?"
"Yes!" "Alright~" He slid his hands under her armpit and pulled her back into the bathroom before she was able to step out, "but first we need to dry you off. Mummy won't be happy seeing the floor all wet."
The sliding door of her walk in closet slide to the right, revealing Seonghwa and a wet Sejin. The little girl didn't even hesitate to say what she wanted to be dressed in, "pink polka dots daddy!". Seonghwa pulled out a white and soft pink polka dotted dress, Sejin's favourite dress as it was the first dress she got to choose. He helped his daughter zip up the dress and smoothed out the bottom layer.
"I look so pretty daddy!"
"Yes you do princess" he kissed her forehead, "you'll forever look pretty baby" and that was a fact in his world.
Sejin was much like her father. She doesn't always dress up but she wanted to, she goes all out. The princess didn't stop at her favourite dress. She ended up picking her dainty necklace and satin ribbon to match her dress, asking her daddy to help her tie her hair up into a half ponytail.
Admittedly, it took him longer than it should've to neatly tie her hair in the up do. He was confused because in the videos, it looked simple. It would've been easier if Sejin sat still but he was too blinded to see that. He ended up needing to comb through his daughter's locks 3 times because she couldn't stop shaking it left and right. She thought it was a fun game she was playing with her father.
"Thank you daddy!" and she dashed out from the closet, screaming at the top of her lungs as if she was being chased by the closet monster.
"Mummy!" yelled Sejin. She clung onto her mother's leg and nearly made her stumble backwards. Luckily her mother didn't fall back.
"What'cha making mummy?" asked her daughter. She looked down and saw the little pink blushed nose scrunching and sniffing the air, trying to guess what was on the marble island.
"Kimchi fried rice baby, for your lunchbox" her mother replied, softly stroking her daughter's hair and careful not to mess up her husband's great effort. At the sound of kimchi fried rice, Sejin couldn't help herself but jump all over the kitchen, hurrah! Chanting the name of the dish about 5 times before her mother silenced her.
"You promise mummy you'll be a good girl at school and finish your food ok?" "yes mummy!" "Atta girl~" The mother wasn't worried about her daughter's appetite but it was cute seeing her make little promises every now and then. Seonghwa's voiced boomed from the other side of the house, calling for his daughter.
"Sejin-ah! Daddy all ready to go, come!" and no longer than 6 seconds later his little girl came running towards him with her school bag in hand and her mother trailing behind with their daughter's lunch bag.
"You got ready pretty quick today" noted his wife. He smiled and nodded, replying that her royal highness requested to leave early so she wouldn't be late.
"Bye mummy ... love you! Onwards daddy!" giggled Sejin and skipped out of the house. Seonghwa kissed his wife on the cheeks and off they went to his car. Seonghwa opened the door, took his daughter's bag and placed it in the boot then proceeded to strap her in her car seat. Sejin didn't need to use a car seat anymore but she liked it and he was happy to oblige since she was still considered small enough for it.
The car ride was nice with Sejin softly talking about random things about how she loved her lunch menu today or about how she didn't like certain colours because she thinks they looked weird. She was especially happy talking about how nervous she was about meeting new friends. All while she talked on and on, Seonghwa nodded and smiled, glancing over her seat to keep her safe.
The car stopped in front of a corner lot house. "This is it, we're here princess. Your new pre-school" said Seonghwa. The moment Seonghwa got out of the car, Sejin unstrapped herself and await for her daddy to open her side of the door. Taking her daddy's hand in hers, she took brave steps towards the entrance. They were greeted by a friendly looking lady who smiled and talked with a sweet tone.
"Hi there darling. Who might you be?" the lady asked.
"Sejin. Park Sejin. I'm new here!"
"Ah yes, Sejin. We've been waiting for you. You don't have to worry, I'm sure you'll have lots of fun here" assured the lady. Sejin nodded with a smile, keeping herself to her best manners. The lady and daddy Seonghwa talked for a while before Seonghwa had to bid his daughter goodbye.
"Bye daddy!" "Bye princess! Stay safe and I'll pick you up later kay? Love you!" and off to work Seonghwa went. The lady ushered Sejin inside and she placed her bags at her box of the shelves. Sejin looked around the area and felt a little bit out of place. Other kids seemed to already know each other. That was until tiny voice took her attention and made her turn around.
"Who are you?" asked the little boy. He was a tad bit taller than her but he seemed nice.
"I'm Sejin" replied the little girl.
"I don't know you. It's reading time right now. Come if you don't want to be left alone here" the little boy resumed his walking and focused in front. Sejin followed suit, not knowing what to do.
"Wait - what's your name?" asked Sejin.
"Kang Youngmin" and off to the reading room they went. From afar, the teachers / care takers were watching the whole ordeal and they smiled to themselves. They didn't have to worry so much about Sejin. She's been accepted already.
