Australia, Belarus, China, Hungary, Japan, Netherlands, Sealand, Tibet
...So many. Sobs.
Australia: Do you have any quirks when speaking?
...What the hell is that supposed to mean? Um, I say "um" a lot? Does that count or.
Belarus: Is there anyone you love? Family, friends, romantic interest?
I loved someone once. But, now, I don't think I do anymore.
China: What was the best moment of your life?
Definitely not coming here.
Hungary: Who is the person you trust most?
As the famous...I actually don't know where this quote came from, but I'm assuming it's from a rap song or something...Anyways, trust no bitch. Simple as that.
Japan: Tell us a secret about yourself.
Secrets are secrets for a reason.
Netherlands: Most generous thing someone has done for you?
Uh, someone once made me food when I was hungry. I think that's the only thing I can come up of.
Sealand: Who is your best friend?
...I have no such thing.
Tibet: What do you value most?
Honesty and affection. You never see those things anymore.
Liking works, I suppose. -smiles- I havenât been here long enough to have any particularly good or bad experiences, so Iâm fairly neutral. Optimistic, though. -gives a small shrug- Do you dislike it here?
Hm, I see, I see. {' nods.} I'm gonna hope you're not gonna experience anything bad. It's interesting to see someone...positive in this pace. {' tilts her head.} Honestly? Yes. I dislike this place very much. But, to be honest, I'd rather be here than at home.Â
{' chuckles.} I see. Ulsan, huh? {' she must be filthy rich or something, she thinks to herself. But, ignores it.} What's that like? Is it nice? {' she pauses after you ask her.} I'm from around here, kind of. It's rather quiet where I live, unlike Ulsan, probably.
With so many other things going on, it's hard for me to keep up with this account. I'll still be here though. Posts and replies will be a bit slow, but you can always reach me through the inbox and on AIM (hover) and also please plot with me because you're all lovely sobs.
I suppose itâs not that common to see foreigners in some parts of Seoul, that makes sense. /nods along/ If your mom keeps you locked up maybe I should come and help you sneak out to go places. /chuckles again/ How I got here? I made a mistake. Simple as that. I introduced my girlfriend to my parents and they werenât all too delighted with the news that I had one. I say had because she left me the same night. /shrugs/ Itâs not that big of a deal though. What about you, how did you initially get stuck here?
{' raises an eyebrow, pausing for a moment as she actually considers it in thought.} To be truthful, that does not sound like a bad idea. {' smiles a little, her smile fading as she listens to your story.} Ah, I'm sorry. That sounds pretty awful. Does she know you're here? {' tilts her head.} Me, uh...my dad caught me with my...err, I wouldn't say girlfriend. But, she wasn't just my friend, for sure. And then he got mad, threw her out and..yeah. {' nods.} Then, the next morning I found out my dad left because of me. So, my mom sent me here.Â
(`eyes the other closely, obviously disappointed) Itâs a pity you arenât a man. Otherwise, itâd be a lot easier. (`nods a bit halfheartedly) I suppose youâre right.
/raises her eyebrow/ Wow, they really are stupid, arenât they? /chuckles a little/ Really now? Iâm the first? You didnât meet any non-Koreans before outside this place? /pauses as you speak before she hangs her head a little/ Ah, that explains a lot. Maybe when you get out of here you should have a look around the city? I mean you deserve that much after they locked you up here.
I probably have once. It's just that I never have really been anywhere other than school and home. {' she realizes that she probably sounded racist, or extremely sheltered, or most likely both, and shakes her head.} I mean, I live in kind of a quieter part of town, where foreigners don't really go. {' nods.} Ah, I would love to. But, after what happened to me, my mom's probably going to lock me up even more. {' sighs.} Anyway, may I ask how you got here?
Really? -genuine interest crosses his expression as the smile fades to a curious one- Does this place have a bad reputation or something? -frowns thoughtfully- I was told this is a very successful instituteâŠbut Iâve also heard of a few disturbing rumors -waits to see if she responds to that-
...Well, not really. You're right with both. {' pauses.} Disturbing rumors? {' she blinks, her face starting to mimic his curious expression. It is true she's seen some interesting stories around here. But, she'd like to hear it from someone else's point of view.} Like what?
(`nods thoughtfully as well) Maybe I might just go out of my way to scare you. (`narrows his eyes, playfully asking) Do you mean Iâm not boring? Or is it something else? (`sighs in defeat, unfortunately unable to read the otherâs thoughts) Iâm not sure if youâre meaning this all as a compliment or more negatively, care to enlighten me?Â
/nods along as she listens to you speak/ Whatever it is, itâs not really going to help anyone if they get harsher. Then again itâs not like they actually care about helping us so why would they bother taking that into consideration. /snorts lightly at the thought/ Yeah, Los Angeles. Iâm not Korean. Taiwanese American. /shrugs/ Sadly? Do you not like life in Seoul? /tilts her head slightly/
That is true. I think it's because they think we're listen if they're louder, when all in all, it just makes us feel like shit. {' bites the inside of her cheek.} Oh, Taiwanese-American. I see. To be honest, i think you're the first non-Korean I've met. {' blinks.} Well, I understand that Seoul is nice and all. But, I guess I haven't gotten much of a chance to see it because my parents are rather...they didn't like the idea of me being free. Or out of their reach, at least.Â
1: Could you go the rest of your life without smoking a cigarette?
If I haven't smoked one ever, then probably.
3: What if I told you that you were pretty?
Then...thank you? I wouldn't believe it. But, I would appreciate it.
5: Are you interested in anyone right now?
Perhaps. Then again, depends on what you mean by interested in.
7: Do you want to be single?
If I will never be cured of this thing, then yes.
9: How late did you stay up last night?
Um, late. I know everyone was sleeping and I was just awake. I don't really sleep a lot.
11: Last three things you had to drink?
Coffee. And then water. It sounds like two, but I had two cups of water so.
13: Have you ever told somebody you loved them and not actually meant it?
I have. It's quite awful. But, they've done the same thing to me.
15: Is it hard for you to get over someone?
It depends, again, on how hard I have fallen for them.
17: What were you doing at 12:30 this afternoon?
I'm not sure? I was probably in the cafeteria. And if not, in my room.
19: Could you go for the rest of your life without drinking alcohol?
Well, I mean, I do like drinking, so I don't think I can. Ah, I sound kind of bad. But, I do admit it's nice.
21: Do you miss anyone?
Yes. I miss a lot of people.
23: Did your last kiss take place in/on a bed?
It took place on the floor, near the bed. Does that count? {' blinks.} Wait, I just realized how dirty that sounded. I promise it didn't turn out that way.
25: Have you ever cried from being so mad?
Yeah. I tend to do that a lot.
27: Are you listening to music right now?
No. It's too late and the guards might hear it.

Out lot...? Do you mean out loud? Because if so, then...I don't remember.
31: Do you wear the hood on your hoodie?

I've gotten...dyke, loser, freak, lesbo...But, I'd rather be called Jiyeon.

I don't think I did.

Lately I have been.
41: Have you ever wanted to tell someone something but didnât?
Yes. It really ruined a good opportunity for me.

Nope. Unless you count my mom's car every time she takes me out, because I really don't want to be in there.
45: What is wrong with you right now?
I think the question is, what isn't wrong with me right now?
47: Where did you get the shirt/sweatshirt youâre wearing?
Um, I forgot. It's one of those Boy London shirts. But, I think it was a birthday present.
49: Do you make wishes at 11:11?
I think they're stupid. But, I can't help but sometimes find myself wishing off of them.
51: Love really is a beautiful thing huh?
Not for me. I mean, unless you call being stripped of your rights because of who you love, beautiful. I doubt you would though.

I really hope that they did.

I thought I have answered this already.Â

Honestly, no. I would really like to find that one person, though.
67: Have you kissed anyone in the last five days?
No.
69: Will next Friday be a good one?
I highly doubt it. But, how should I know what the future holds?
Areum bit down on her lower lip and shrugged lightly. âIt hurt only a tiny bit, donât even spare a single thought on it. Luckily itâs not a deep wound. Actually, Iâd feel pretty much of a loser if it was more serious,â she laughed quietly and she couldnât help a smile creeping up on her face because of Jiyeonâs genuine worry for her. This girl was nice and Areum really wanted her to be one of those who she offered her trust for â only after a particular period of time, of course. No matter how much she wouldâve loved to trust her already, she had to be careful. There wasnât much to lose in this place, but⊠what if once they actually managed to get out of here, they decide to keep in touch and then she betrays her? Areum didnât even want to think of that as a possible outcome of their relationship; not the escape, but the betrayal part of it.
âPlease, donât tell me youâre laughing at me. Or because I have that ugly thing in the centre of my forehead.â Areum tried to wear a huffish look on her face, but she couldnât stop the corner of her lips from curving a bit upwards into a half-smirk as she imagined herself with that band-aid again. âMy willingness to leave this room is getting lower and lower every second,â she chuckled before sighing. She knew she needed to go out anyways; not only because she had promised Jiyeon that she would accompany her to the buffet but because she actually wanted to do that.
âWell, it doesnât really matter anymore, does it? Letâs just go and get some⊠food,â she nodded and gently pushed her all the way out of the room, stopping at the door and waiting for the older to start heading into the right direction so she could follow her. Areum made sure to keep up with her pace and for a few minutes, she didnât do anything but silently amble next to Jiyeon, her mind filled with pictures of disgusting food mixed with Jiyeonâs face which greatly confused the younger girl. She didnât want to put food and Jiyeonâs lovely features in one category so she mentally scolded her brain for ever doing such a stupid thing.
âActually, the food here isnât that awfulâŠâ, Areum started but stopped, chewing on her lower lip. She felt kind of uncomfortable admitting her reason for her âfood-phobiaâ because it sounded rather foolish and immature and Areum didnât want to cause Jiyeon to have similar thoughts about her. Shaking her head once, she decided to keep her ridiculous phobias to herself.
âWell, I wouldnât call it ugly. ButâŠyes. It looks kinda funny." she points out truthfully after composing herself, trying hard to not let her gaze fixate itself onto the adhesive, âHey, you can probably take it off in like, ten minutes, or so. I think." Sheâs still taken aback by the smile that had crept onto the otherâs face. If this girl was who Jiyeon suspects her to be, she would have at least gotten smacked upside the head as punishment for her previous actions and that would have been the end of it. Itâs endearing to Jiyeon, actually, to have seen a smile pointed in her direction since her time here. A thought rendered in her mind, that maybe, possibly, she would like to be friends.
Areumâs discomfort that was obviously shown as the word âfood," slipped her mind baffled Jiyeon for a moment once more, whilst she hummed quietly with a short nod in response. She opens her mouth to speak up about it, and suggest that it would be alright if she went alone. But, it was too late as the other had already pushed her to the doorâs entrance. Sheâs not too sure of what to say. But, instead, she follows what her conscious is telling her and, crossing her arms, she leads the other towards the cafeteria.Â
"Yeah. Itâs not 5-star quality, but itâs tolerable," Jiyeon replied in a soft tone, chuckling. âTo be honest, I expected there to be traces of hair and for it to be all mushed together like you see in movies and stuff about prisons and camps. But, it looks and tastes, kinda, like normal food." The curiousness and worry of Areumâs behavior towards food crossed Jiyeonâs mind again. Was it because she just wasnât one who liked eating? Did she have an eating disorder? Was sheâNo. It was bad to think about that, and it could lead to her even asking on it. So, she cleared her throat and reluctantly tried to shove those thoughts out of her mind.
The room was not as far as Jiyeon remembered, and as she entered it, the pungent fragrance of  food and window cleaner that sticks to the air thicker than blood entered her nose. Itâs quite honestly one of the better aromas that Jiyeon had noticed around True Solutions, one that at least wasnât congested of perfume in the girlsâ room, or sweat inside of the gymnasium. The low walls of the cafeteria all look upon her in their boring array of colours; sea foam green, and white. As expected, the only people present was the irritable, and intimidating staff members that catered the food. She looks over at Areum for a moment, nodding towards the section of the room that contained the actual food. âYou..should eat." She says. âItâs all free, anyway."
