     @yhjiwon​ is here!

     the local tavern was said to be the best place in the little town to grab a foreign, american bite. with something as ridiculous sounding as animal fries on the menu, yumi just had to go!      with the sea salt still in her hair and sand stuck between her toes, the girl parked her bike outside. she hoped that wearing nothing but a swimsuit and a sun-dress coverup was good enough to wear inside such a small town’s bar.      inside, it was dark, but not quite the nightlife she expected. it was only seven in the evening, yet, she expected far more bustle than what she was meat with. it felt somewhere between a cafe and a bar prior to the true night life illuminating.      once inside, with a bright smile, she trotted to the bar stool smack in the middle. she hopped up, fixed her dress, and patiently waited for the bartender to notice her.

: THREAD OF ORIGIN. ( @yhjiwon )

❝ ⠀⠀⠀ it was not the most endearing conversation she shared with someone,, not that she was the kind of person to offer the best of advice or source of amusement. compared to words she uttered during her encounters with people of familiar visage, she was more successful at holding a professional business meeting. however, raewon was not there for business or anything alike, it was just a frivolous enmity she wished to witness after their brief confrontation the previous day. she sure took her sweet time to recognise the other, remember that once upon a time ( was it four or five years ago ? ) they held a decent acquaintanceship during her visits to yunhwa. back then he wore kindness over his features, his words not exactly a connexion of honey but definitely more sympathetic. not a friend but an acquaintance to greet if they ever came across each other.

time changed him and instead of feeling offence over his venomous and ill-tempered defiance, raewon found amusement in his new persona. she did not even wish to learn what caused the change, it was not her matter to care. she just wanted to see how much he changed and how fun would it to witness the new side or perhaps, a side he so perfectly hid until now.

was she that bored to do something so meaningless? yes, she was.

“ i heard of that quote before, ”  raewon stated completely unbothered by the other's choice of colourful language. “ followed by: respect others even if they don't deserve it to reflect your own character, blah and blah. ” she waved her hand to dismiss the unimportant part of the quote. “ but there is a fine line between learning manners and implementing them. i'm just saying you might need to be more careful with implementing them, especially while working. ” she shrugged.

it was no secret that jiyeon was a frequent coffee drinker. much of her day was spent running back and forth between the town hall and yeyun inn to get her hourly daily fix. now that it was about time for her lunch break, jiyeon immediately made her way to the tea shop as her first stop. by the time of her arrival, a line had already formed itself for the establishments rush hour. of course, this was too be expected, and jiyeon waited patiently (having already calculated an approximate queue time into her tight schedule). 

once she’d finally received her order, the secretary wasted no time admiring the beverage. instead, she’d readily gulped down her coffee in one go, feeling full and satisfied. under normal circumstances, jiyeon would have disposed her trash and continued on with her day. today, however, she felt an unusual gaze fixated on herself. hesitantly, she began to survey the room for a pair of eyes looking in her direction. when she did, finally, managed to lock eyes with another, jiyeon found herself pleasantly surprised by who she saw.

“jiwon-ah? what are you doing here in the middle of the day?” she was, no doubt, sounding like a broken record by now. each time she ran into the other, jiyeon was astonished at just how much the little boy, whom she’d known during his summer visits to yunhwa, had grown. despite how much he’d changed (and the rumors that swirled around the small town), she just couldn’t help but see the boy she’d met all those years ago.

it’s busier than usual when jonghyuk first enters the bar, opting to lean against the counter at the end while he waits for an opportunity to approach. a small smile tugs at his lips as he watches jiwon rush around to get everyone their requests.

when there’s finally a break in the crowd, jonghyuk is about to move closer when jiwon’s words shock him. a soft chuckle escapes him, “i underestimated how perceptive you are.” he smirks, finally walking over to take a seat in front of his friend. he leans against his hand, “besides, i thought it would be fun to admire such a hard-working man from afar.” he turns his body, looking around the bar which is indeed more full than jonghyuk had seen before. “you’re so busy tonight.” he points out, gaze returning to jiwon, “is there a deal or something going on tonight? maybe pretty boys get drinks for free? because that would be perfect for me.” he jokes.

it simply wasn’t like somin to go off about who she actually was. that was the whole point of her coming down to yunhwa: to make sure she was hidden. however, there was something about the bar and the dark, late hours that seemed to push her to spill things about her family and herself. not too much because she’s not going to risk that but just enough to not feel bottled up. enough to not feel like she’s living a complete lie.

on the other side of her mini ted talks was the poor ol’ bartender that she picked up her first time here and have chosen to continue speaking to. upon seeing him, somin could tell that jiwon was the type to not talk much. though a part of her feels bad because he probably hears one too many rants from his customers, she couldn’t find it in herself to trust anybody else. she only really visits once a week for her own sanity, but she’s always sitting in the same chair, same place and talking to the same person. 

“you wouldn’t believe it when i tell you i have to carry my own water bottle around because i’m afraid of being poisoned. i’ve seen it happen with my own eyes, and i couldn’t let it happen to me.”

“hardware store? for what?”

@yhjiwon sent this ask meme! 

“What do you mean for what? Did you or did you not say you were going to help me with my apartment? Jinah looked up at the younger man with a raised brow. Her voice was quiet and her face expressionless save for the questioning glance. “I need to make a custom shelf for my living space. Hardware stores not only have the supplies, but they can build almost anything for you there.” 

She pulled out her phone as they entered the building to show him her plans. “I’m sure they will have everything here, but I need help carrying these around and finding them.” Her eyes glanced around for the first isle she was looking for; screws and nails. “Did you forget our conversation yesterday?” She really didn’t know anyone around town yet. So when this young guy heard her plight and offered to help, well of course she said yes to that.

𝐬𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬: not accepting

the spring festival was one event she fervently counted down the days ‘till, more than eager for the highly coveted wine that the artisans spent the year cultivating. if possible she’d buy out their entire inventory had they not put her on a three bottle limit per year. the gall of them. though, somewhere in the back of her mind, she was somewhat grateful that someone was looking out for her, indirectly or not. despite the cap, that didn’t quell her excitement once the bottle was in her hands. five paces away from the booth and she couldn’t handle the temptation waiting for her, instead finding an empty table to sit at, carefully opening the bottle and taking short sips from a styrofoam cup she’d ask a neighbor for. she relished in the sweet aftertaste, letting the warmth settle in the pit of her stomach and radiating to the rest of her body. 

dusk was finally relenting to the evening, the outdoor lights around her engulfing everything in a warm yellow hue. for a moment everything and everyone seemed so far away, gayoon entrenched in her own internal dialogue that she hardly noticed the other approaching her. 

she purses her lips, tapping the table twice with a perfectly manicured nail before giving jiwon a polite smile. 

“you caught me on a good day, so fine,” she nudges the empty chair across from her with her sandal. “drinking alone is depressing, anyway.” she turns to ask for another cup, then fills it halfway with the wine before setting it in front of the other. “don’t be so used to this generosity, though. i’m not always this nice.”

     yumi held the straw of her lemonade close to her lips. she never let the delicious drink out of sight. even when she looked for whatever jiwon spoke of, her drink was still right under her nose.      she furrowed her brows. two boys, maybe teenagers, checking out the side of a stall. it was odd, for sure, but not at all what she was confused by.      “tourists?” she spoke between sips, “what do you mean? they look like totally normal kids to me. . .”      she watched them for a while longer. she did not want to be so nosy, she was no drama queen herself, but she could not bring herself to look away. perhaps it was jiwon’s curiosity that spilled into her own heart.      “they just look confused. . . maybe they’re reading a menu or something. it’s totally, like, not a big deal. they’re probably just, like, stupid kids.”
