water it down

                  perfect. what a funny word, because how could something ever be perfect? yet that was what was expected of hyunji. every move he did, it needed to be right, nothing could be wrong. the way he talked, walked, smiled, it had all been perfected, it had all been practiced. and truly this was boring, but it was just the way things were in the dam family. and this? this wasn’t perfect. hyunji could somehow get away with flirting with other people in public, nobody really noticed how much of a flirt he was, but how could this go unnoticed? 

it genuinely wasn’t anything big, yet as hyunji stood here, he wondered how his perfect self could make such a little stupid mistake. he spilled water on someone, nothing big, we all make mistakes. hyunji doesn’t mistakes, so he stands completely still, how is he supposed to react? he just turned around and there they stood, and suddenly his glass of water was all over them. soon napkins were in the hands of hyunji and he tried to wipe off the water of the other’s shirt. “my apologies, i apologize so much!”.

pretty pretty

                      it’s the little things that do it. having two sides to oneself and only enjoying one of the sides can be quite troublesome. hyunji doesn’t actual enjoy these kind of events, but he’s often just expected to come to them, it’s just a part of the perfect guy he has to be. but as said, hyunji doesn’t enjoy these kind of events, mostly actually he just doesn’t like the day. this is because during the day hyunji is expected to act the way his parents wants, which is usually just like a perfect guy. it gets boring in the length. hence this it’s the little things that do it; flirting. hyunji flirts like crazy at the parties he goes to a night, during the day it’s more subtle, but flirting is still the thing that brings a little joy to hyunji.

hyunji had heard of her slightly, moon jangmi, however he had never seen her face he believed. but here she stood in front of him and they were talking, and she was beautiful, so so he decided, why not? he takes a tot of her hair, plays with it. “you know, you’re actually quite pretty” he smiles at her, lets go of her hair “have you considered becoming a model too?”.

open to: any connection: friend location: minja’s apartment setting: you and minja are cooking when a fire starts

minja? it’s quite hard to say whether minja is smart or an idiot. she is smart, but however often she does dumb stuff. climbing onto trees and then not being able to get down, mixing pepper and chili? it’s both stuff that shouldn’t happen yet happens way too often for minja. 

today minja had invited a friends over, a fellow idol, she had invited them over for that they could cook and talk together. just as minja was rambling about something the other’s eyes shifted from minja to something else’s. “what is it?” minja asked before looking behind her to find a fire, it was quite small, but big enough to scare minja. “oh my god…” she mumbled “we are going to die” the female half shouted.

[twmoon]

.miraefmd

mirae turns back to the stove to life the lid again and fan the smoke from the pan. she can tell from the scent that wafts her way that she was right to think they wouldn’t be eating what they’d originally planned to. that was fine. people only learned through making mistakes and she hadn’t been starving to start with.

she’s broken out of her thoughts by the sound of minja falling, and this time, she’s too shocked to disguise the concerned furrowing of her eyebrows. the younger girl is clearly asking for help up, so mirae goes over and grasps her hand, pulling her up into standing position again and making sure she’s steady with a hand on her shoulder. “please be careful,” she requests, that older sister voice she really shouldn’t have down as well as she does when she hadn’t had much time to play that role to her actual younger sister coming out. “what do you want me to order us?”

was minja clumsy? probably. she was always a little too carefree and going to fast, she doesn’t put much thought into a lot of the things she does. it does not bother her however when she falls, because it’s not the first time, no minja probably falls multiple times a day, sometimes the female questions how she is still alive, one day she’ll surely fall and break her leg or something, won’t she? maybe not, she hopes she won’t. the other helps her up and minja smiles, “ill try” minja sends the other a smile as she tilts her head. the female then walks over to the window and opens it.

it’s not often minja orders from outside, mostly because it’s too unhealthy, and minja as the person she is cares way too much about what is and isn’t healthy. “hmm” minja rubs her chin “i think i’m craving kimchi and rice, but i already have that here” she walks over to her refrigerator and opens it, then closes and nods, surely she had that there. “is there anything you would like? i think im up for anything!” was the other paying? or should minja offer to pay since she was the one who burned the food?

[twmoon]

open to: any connection: friend location: minja’s apartment setting: minja learns you a tik tok dance….

“it’s not that hard!” minja begins showing the move to the other once again. minja, while not being the youngest, is still not old, hence she’s on the app tik tok. she of course has her profile private, and she doesn’t even post, she just saves them as drafts. however minja does sometimes use a lot of time learning tik tok dances, and today she had asked a friend over, and somewhat the two had gotten here, now minja was learning the other a tik tok dance.

minja took a deep breath as she was about to show the next move, she wasn’t about to laugh, definitely not. “yeah and then, then you just face to the side and” minja faces to the right and then “then you… you like kind of just shake your ass?” minja really tried her best to stay serious, but it was a bit awkward to shake her ass while being alone with her friend.

[fmdjeonghwa]

while jeonghwa would consider herself someone who was usually up to date on trends in social media, on tiktok, she only tended to become aware of dances when they blew up. as was the downfall of a targeted algorithm, dances weren’t at the top of her list. she liked them, sure, but after seeing the same thing too many times, it became boring, which, after a couple of days on the app, led her away from a page full of it.

she liked to dance, though. on days jeonghwa’s body wasn’t feeling too stiff, it would be hard to not catch her dancing at least once during the day, even if it was a little excited shimmy of the shoulders. so, jeonghwa gladly accepted minja’s teaching, and followed along as best she could. a half second behind, she’d mimic minja’s moves, most of the time lazing about, until it came to trying together, at the same time.

ass, shaking, all of about twenty centimeters -okay, maybe jeonghwa wasn’t the best at judging distance- away from her face, she couldn’t help but cheer. in another context, it’d seem more like catcalling. jeonghwa liked to believe her intentions were better than that. she followed suit, and bumped her hip against minja’s before she stopped. grin on her face, she said, “the best thing about these dances is how there’s, like, always ass shaking on ass shaking.” in another world, jeonghwa thought she might have liked to be a professional ass shaker. with some implants to fit the job better. “but, like, wouldn’t it be better if it was less full shaky and more like,” jeonghwa demonstrated with a more rhythmic pattern, then, standing straight again, “or that thing where it’s like, bend and snap, but no snap?”

[twmoon]

minja looked at the wall for a second as she was thinking, was she too old for tik tok? no she wasn’t, right? there were older people than her on the app, but majority was most likely younger than her, that didn’t mean she couldn’t use the app though, hmm. minja looks back at the other, “what’s your relationship with dance?” she asks as she smiles. minja’s relationship? she likes dancing, she was a main dancer in her old group, she is not that anymore though, not that she minds it too much, being the main vocal is nice too, except for the many many high notes she has to hit. though perhaps, when she thinks more about it, perhaps she does like dancing more than singing, just because singing isn’t usually something too hard for her, while dancing pushes her. 

minja looks at the other as she talks, yeah truly it does kind of look better, but minja also liked the original choreography. “hmm” she rubs her chin as if she has a beard. “i do like the way you’re thinking, but i also think that keeping it to the original is good” she smiles at the other “after all we are learning not creating a dance” that’s when it hits her “wait! what if we made a tik tok dance?!” minja smiles happily, showing her teeth. “i’m sure our great minds could put something together” she giggles, thereafter puts a tot of her hair behind her ear.

[twmoon]

minja isn’t completely sure where her love for make up comes from, she would say that she’s so in love with it because it can transform her to become someone even prettier, but she began liking make up before she started caring about her looks. maybe she just likes it because it reminds her of drawing and painting, but with make up she can actually do it, and that she can’t with drawing and painting. minja puts on make up basically every day, but she does realize that there are days she should let her face rest, or else she will end up becoming allergic to make up one day. those days where she doesn’t put make up on herself, she often puts make up on others.

today the lucky guy had been sehoon ( @fmdxsehoon​ ), a member of charm, a group which minja was quite close to. after all, they were under the same company. minja was sitting on a chair in front of sehoon, she emptied her back for everything and at least a million pieces of make up came out. minja looks around for a while before finding what she was searching for, a rose face mist. “just tell me if i am getting too close” minja says before putting her pink bunny headband on the other. “close your eyes” minja tells the other before spraying his face with the rose face mist. “it smells good, doesn’t it?” minja smiles softly.

“do you like make up?”

[twmoon]

.fmdxsehoon

sehoon isn’t really well versed with make-up despite the fact that he’s had to use it for years. it’s always felt like a normal necessity in their line of work, so he’s never paid actual mind on it. he’s interested enough to be curious on how minja will do his make-up today, though, and appreciates  the fact that the products she’s using actually smell good instead of smelling strongly of chemicals. it makes him smile as he ponders over her other question.

“i don’t particularly hate or like it… i’m more on the neutral side, i think” he admits, closing his eyes as he’s instructed and relaxes a little in his seat. “but i am interested, to some extent… if that makes sense?” he adds. he doesn’t know how to put make up properly by himself, if he’s going to be honest. and if he really thinks about it, he doesn’t mind going out or being seen bare faced when he’s not headed to any specific schedules.

“i mean, i know it isn’t exactly the easiest thing to do. how are you guys so good at it? color mixing? shading? it’s like… painting in a way, right?” he says. “also this does smell good. what is it?”

minja listens happily as the other talks, normally she isn’t exactly the best at listening to others, not that she doesn’t care about others, she truly just easily gets bored. however as they speak about make up and their interest in it, minja listens carefully, listening to what the other has to say. “i used to be neutral too, i only used it when i had schedule or something” minja puts down the face mist, thereafter picking up her sunscreen. “then i joined wish and magically i was super interested in make up” truly minja knows why she got to interested in it after joining, but she’s not about to say it, wouldn’t that ruin the mood? 

“it is hard, in the beginning i was terrible, luckily youtube and trying it out helped me a lot.” she smiles as she puts some sunscreen on her fingers and thereafter spreads it out in the younger male’s face. “it’s a rose mist, it smells so good, i often use it even when i don’t wear make up” she looks down at the rose mist “i don’t know how many of those i have used” she chuckles and then looks up again.

.fmdyoojin

yoojin stares over at minja with a blank expression. **“ **minja-unnie, ” she mimics in the same whiny tone the elder had given to her. **“ **i told you – i simply don’t have anything to shake. it’s not giving up if i don’t have it anyway. it’s putting myself in my own lane, **” **yoojin explains, shrugging. she doesn’t want to make a fool of herself, after all – **“ **you go right ahead, you have more of an ass to shake than i do. **” **she points out, shrugging. she wasn’t exactly sure if that was true, after all she didn’t spend a terrible amount of time staring at her friends behind – but considering how little assets yoojin had, she could imagine anyone had more than her. **“ you go right ahead and learn – i’m not stopping you. go be hip and trendy – but a reminder that you’re the unnie here, ” **yoojin retorts.

**“ **i don’t think shakespeare said that, **” **yoojin states, frowning. **“ **i’ve only heard to shake what your momma gave you – which wasn’t shakespearean – and unfortunately my momma didn’t give me anything. **” **she points out. **“ **hey, my lack of participation is not saying that you’re not allowed to shake what you have; just that i’m not going to partake. ” she shrugs. **“ **maybe you can shake your ass, and i’ll become inspired, yeah ? let’s try that. ” yoojin suggests, crossing her arms over her chest.

unnie. even after all these years minja still has yet to get used to it. it’s weird, she was so young when she debuted the first time, her second time she was also young, but now she’s been in this group for so long and now. now she’s becoming one of the older ones, now people are beginning to call her sunbae, noona and unnie, and she still has yet to get used to it, used to the fact that she’s truly old. still she smiles when the younger calls her it, though it feels weird it does not feel bad and she does not mind it. minja let’s out a big sigh as she looks up “noooo, you’re trying to give up” minja looked at the other and showed her puppy eyes, as if she was the young one. “come on, we got to keep going” minja grabbed the other’s arm, pulling it a little. “you know, you’re just young, born yesterday” minja let’s go of the other “and i can be hip and trendy, i am still young” minja stomps in the floor and thereafter chuckles while putting a tot of hair behind her ear.

“i am sure shakespeare said that, you know he was my great grandpa right?” not really, minja doesn’t even know from which time he is from, is he just that young or is he older? maybe he lived with the dinosaurs… probably not. it does not take a second before the other has finished before minja begins shaking what her mom gave her. “join me” she says smiling while trying her best to shake what she has.

-biyufmd

biyu wasn’t entirely serious herself, though she wouldn’t lie, she’d certainly entertained the idea of spending a night or two with minja. she was pretty in her way, charming, and she blushed in a way that made her understand the appeal of cuteness in a partner. biyu flirted perhaps aggressively, but there was always a note of sincere interest in her mind.

she chuckled at minja’s words, looking away for a brief moment. “you’re at least as troublesome as me, you know. your managers must hate you.” hers certainly didn’t seem to be her biggest fans, through some fault of her own, she would admit. she was aware that much as she wanted to be, she wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea, especially not those who genuinely spent time with her. oh well. she’d save her tears over it for her pillow.

minja, often at times, would flirt without it being her purpose, she was a natural flirt, but currently she was aware of her flirting. it wasn’t like other times where she unintentionally was flirting. she smiled, tilted back and forth. her heart was beating a tad faster than usually, but that it always was when she flirted with others. so much stuff made her nervous, excited or just gave her heart reasons to beat faster.

minja let a chuckle out upon the other’s words. surely, she probably was troublesome, after all, she was the type to crawl into trees and then be unable to get down. “i wouldn’t say they hate me, but i’m probably not their fave” she giggles shortly. “but you know, troublesome can be quite cute” minja tilted her head, checking if the other understood she was calling her cute.

-fmdtaeyong

ash tried not to make his skepticism too obvious, but he failed, his doubt reading across his face. if asked, he couldn’t really convey what his idea of fun even was anymore, but ash was pretty sure it didn’t look like seeing how many different versions of the woah and how much finger pointing could fit in one “dance”. he didn’t want to be any ruder than he’d already been, so he kept that fact to himself.

“if someone demands i do a tiktok dance to get their number, it sounds like they don’t actually want to give me their number, so i’d leave them alone.” ash had never had anyone demand a performance of a social media trend in exchange for their number, but maybe he just wasn’t up to date with the dating habits of the kids these days. he hadn’t been on a real date in years.

“besides, aren’t most people on tiktok born in the 2000s? they’d probably be a little young for me if they’re demanding that.” there’d be a generational gap, for sure, but that could be his fault seeing as minja seemed to know plenty about tiktok and she was only a year younger than him. “have you ever had to do a tiktok dance to win someone over?”

minja doesn’t want to speak, because the other is making sense. if someone demanded minja to do something so absurd in order to get their phone number, minja would most likely just walk away, unless of course, they were pretty, then she would reconsider and try her best to do the tik tok dance. most likely she would get their number, because there’s basically not a single tik tok dance minja doesn’t know.

“ah, well, what if they are super funny, super pretty and super smart? ah” minja scratches her neck “well, my point is, learning tik tok dances could be important, so we must learn this, you shall shake your ass, even if it takes five years” minja sends the older a smile.

“hey!” minja’s face drops “tik tok is for all ages, young people like me use it too” minja crosses her arms “perhaps you’re just too old to know that” minja giggles before brushing a tot of her hair behind her ear. minja looks around, as if if she looks around she’ll find a proper answer for the other. “well, no, but, it’s a possible scenario i would say” she hums for a second “expect the unexpected?”

-miraefmd

“i…” mirae tried to hide the look of hopelessness in her eyes when minja returned with a tiny personal fan. that’s not really what she’d meant, but she couldn’t blame the younger girl when she hadn’t been specific. she’ll have to make do with what they have, so she takes the fan and holds it in the vicinity of the pan in hopes it will take care of at least some of the smoke.

“can you open the windows too? we don’t want to set your smoke alarm off.” if there are no bigger fans to be had, that’s the best option and hopefully minja doesn’t have the kind of windows that don’t actually open all the way to let fresh air in. “we might want to order delivery instead of trying to salvage this, too.”

surely minja is smart, but she also isn’t the smartest, she’s a good combination of dumb and smart, how she is both so much as the same time she doesn’t know. she remembers dances and lyrics with ease, but with everything else she can barely remember, she’s sure she had at least forgotten mirae’s name once or twice. she was okay in school, but common sense isn’t exactly something minja masters in. she doesn’t give it thought when she shows up with the world’s smallest fan, no she just smiles.

“ah yes” minja runs over to her windows, obviously a little too fast, and then she falls, right on her butt. she looks up at the other, a sweet smile, showing that she wants to be helped up, she could probably do it herself, but doesn’t want to, after all, she is that sweet annoying girl, isn’t she?

-fmdrowan

POV  :  you only ever spend time on alt tiktok, so you have no idea what the latest fads and dances are and they frankly look pretty dumb to you. ❝ look, can you just show me with, like, actual counts ? ❞ it’s not that she’s frustrated. if anyone asks, rowan has never rage quit from anything, least of all dancing. ( cue exaggerated wink : yes. yes she definitely has. ) it’s not her fault the original video had so many filters and weird editing cuts that just didn’t —- okay. calming down now.

or just bursting into laughter, that works too. rowan sinks into a squat in the midst of her hideous witch cackles, wrapping her arms around her knees. ❝ what are you teaching me ? ❞ she manages to squeeze out before toppling over onto her buttocks. ❝ is this what, like, thirteen year-olds are doing these days ? ❞ she takes a moment to compose herself. pinching the bridge of her nose for a few seconds, rowan pops up to her feet when ready. ❝ okay, okay, i think i’m good now. show me one more time ? ❞

         minja isn’t the greatest dance teacher, that’s obvious. she smiles awkwardly when the other tells her to do it with counts, because if there’s anything she’s bad at, it’s counting while dancing. it’s weird, but it just feels like every time she counts, the next time she counts it’s different than the time before. how one can mess up counting so much, she does not know, and she’s not proud of it, but it’s what she is. “we don’t need counting, trust me! i am a master at this” master is a lot of an exaggeration, but that’s something minja is good at, exaggerating.

minja tries her best not to burst out laughing too, but she does smile, while her hands land on her hips. “what!” minja shakes her head and hands “no no, this is for all ages, even an old soul like me can do this” calling herself an old soul, feels weird, but after all, she is a tad old, isn’t she? minja leans her head back and sighs before once again showing it “you shake your ass” minja says it as seriously as possibly, while, while shaking her ass.

yoojin doesn’t exactly know how them hanging out devolved into … this … not that it had really devolved; quite honestly, they’d been goofing around for a while ( which was unusual for yoojin to do with anyone other than yuju – it was a fresh change, really ), and somehow it seemed inevitable they’d end up doing something as ridiculous as tiktok dances ( which, strangely, yoojin also usually only did with yuju … ). as easily as yoojin tended to pick up on dances, this one was something that she typically didn’t do. not because she couldn’t but because – “ minja, i don’t have an ass, what exactly do you want me to shake ? ” she asks, propping her hands up on her hips and staring over at the other pointedly. “ i’m telling you, i’m not doing it. i don’t shake my non-existent ass for my members, i’m not going to shake it for you. ” she states with finality, shaking her head.

“ now if you can find an actually fun one to do, maybe i’ll do that – but i’m not doing that. ” she states, going back to scrolling through another odd article or two that she probably shouldn’t have been; but what was she going to do ? not find out everything she could about how netizens were reacting to 7rophy’s last comeback. perhaps it was an obsession she should get over, but it was certainly one she had. who would’ve thought starting that from her early years trolling through articles, she’d still be doing it years later ? “ i’d rather doom scroll than pretend i actually have assets. i’m flatter than a 2-by-4, we both know this. ”

minja didn’t want to give up, she had begun this and she wasn’t stopping until she finished. yes, this perhaps wasn’t the smartest idea the female had gotten, but they were two that had begun this, and they were going to be two that finished this. minja refused, how could she give up just because of such stupid reason? “yoojin~” minja stretched the name and whined a little. “i am not giving up!” minja put her hands on her hips “this is such a good idea, and why would we just leave such good idea behind?” minja, the talkative person continued talking “learning tik tok dances is quite important, if you don’t know any you’ll just seem like an old boring person… well… maybe not, but it’s still important!”

minja leaned her head back as she let out a sigh, she thereafter looked at the other again “we are doing this dance, i am not giving up, come and shake your non-existent ass” 

“as shakespeare once said, it is not the ass that is important, but the shaking” most likely shakespeare had never said that, but it sounded nice in minja’s head.

open to: any connection: friend location: minja’s apartment setting: you and minja are cooking when a fire starts

minja? it’s quite hard to say whether minja is smart or an idiot. she is smart, but however often she does dumb stuff. climbing onto trees and then not being able to get down, mixing pepper and chili? it’s both stuff that shouldn’t happen yet happens way too often for minja. 

today minja had invited a friends over, a fellow idol, she had invited them over for that they could cook and talk together. just as minja was rambling about something the other’s eyes shifted from minja to something else’s. “what is it?” minja asked before looking behind her to find a fire, it was quite small, but big enough to scare minja. “oh my god…” she mumbled “we are going to die” the female half shouted.

biyu chuckles, looking minja up and down. was that a role she’d be willing to take on? maybe. minja was exceptionally pretty, if not necessarily conventionally attractive by korea’s standards. she wondered privately if she even was. she wasn’t even korean, after all. strike one. her skin had a little color naturally. strike two. she had a softness to her face, though, and doe eyes, pouty lips, and since when had she ever let people make her insecure?

she shook her head as if to erase the etch-a-sketch that was her brain and gave minja a wink and a smile. “i could be, but i don’t know that wishing wells would be happy about me sweeping wish’s leader off her feet, you know?”

minja was never really the best at flirting, she was charming, sure, but often at times it wasn’t on purpose. she had managed to get into wish and to get fans, she had managed that, but she had also managed to gain a big handful of haters. to minja it was a surprise whenever people flirted with her even the smallest, because she had oh so often been told she was annoying. her energetic energy scared people away, and she was often clueless.

it wasn’t fully minja’s intention to flirt with the other when she spoke her sentence, but she did see how it could be taken that way, and when the other spoke about sweeping her off her feet, she did blush a little. “you know” minja leaned against the wall and crossed her arms “what is it now one say?... what people don’t know won’t hurt them?”. minja sent the other a smile, thereafter looking her up and down.

open to: any connection: friend location: minja’s apartment setting: minja learns you a tik tok dance….

“it’s not that hard!” minja begins showing the move to the other once again. minja, while not being the youngest, is still not old, hence she’s on the app tik tok. she of course has her profile private, and she doesn’t even post, she just saves them as drafts. however minja does sometimes use a lot of time learning tik tok dances, and today she had asked a friend over, and somewhat the two had gotten here, now minja was learning the other a tik tok dance.

minja took a deep breath as she was about to show the next move, she wasn’t about to laugh, definitely not. “yeah and then, then you just face to the side and” minja faces to the right and then “then you… you like kind of just shake your ass?” minja really tried her best to stay serious, but it was a bit awkward to shake her ass while being alone with her friend.

“what’s the point of this again?” ash asks, dubious. ash knows of tik tok, but beyond that, he has little interest in the app. the last thing he needs is another public social media account to be reminded to post on after going months without checking in and, to be honest, he’s seen enough of the content on it to recognize that he’s too old to be spending his time there. if he’d felt out of touch during the phase of some of his friends making vine references, he’s accepted his hopelessness in keeping up with the latest social media trends. and he’s fine with it.

“yeah… okay, i don’t think this is for me.” ash hasn’t participated at all so far, but he decides to put a stop to the illusion he’s going to go along with it. it’s not that he has anything against ass-shaking; he just really doesn’t see the point here. “i don’t even have a tiktok. what would i even be learning the dance for? i don’t think i can get on stage at my next concert and shake my ass to a tiktok trend.”

minja was never one for giving up, that you could tell by how she became an idol, even after her first group disbanded she still had hope, even after all the hate she got in wish, she kept in. no it wasn’t in minja’s blood to give up, she was the type to keep trying, even if it sometimes seemed dumb.

minja really had no idea how they had gotten here, because it seemed like minja was the only one excited for this, ash just… allowed her to do her stupid stuff. “what do you mean what’s the point, the point is…” minja grew silent for a second, truly not even she could fully see the point “to have fun?”. “nooo ash” immediately she went over to the other and grabbed his arm. “you’re learning this tik tok dance, even if it takes an hour or two” she was being stubborn, and she wasn’t planning on not giving up. 

“okay okay wait” minja put her hands on her hips “what if you met a super cute person and the only way they’d give you their number was for you to do this tik tok dance? see! you need to learn it” quite not so possible scenario, but minja didn’t see that.

fmdminhee

as her heartbeat slows back down, minhee breathes out a laugh. there was probably a better way to douse the flames – she’s seen enough cooking shows to know that sometimes chefs set their food on fire in the pan on purpose, and she’s eaten enough creme brulee to have seen plenty a blowtorch in action. to think that something so delicious could be so scary.

but minhee’s not a chef, and that wasn’t creme brulee. so, into the sink it went! she looks a little forlornly at the remnants of their meal momentarily, but swiftly moves on to the next option for feeding her grumbling stomach.

“yes! let me choose the place we order from though?” she gives minja her best puppy dog eyes, bottom lip jutted out as she punctuates her request with little please, please, pleases. it’s not that she wasn’t looking forward to minja’s cooking, because she was. it’s more that minhee is always thinking about new places to order food from, always thinking about what she wants to try next from the menu. she considers herself to be an aficionado of takeout food. “there’s a place i got dinner from a couple of weeks back that i wanna try again. – you’re not allergic to shellfish, are you?”

“hm, no. i don’t think smoke stains go great with light pink somehow.”

minja didn’t often buy take away, but that was mostly because it felt like she was constantly on diets, hence making her own food was easier. however today minja felt like after having survived a fire, she definitely deserved to get take away, and what better day was there to get take away than a day where she was with her friend? minja nodded “you can choose a place, and don’t worry about the prize, i will pay for both us” minja felt like she was rich while saying that, truly minja had never been on the most wealthiest side, but after wish’ great success, she definitely had more money than she had in the past. “i’m not allergic to anything but bees and pineapple! at least of not what i know of…” 

“you know...don’t you think i would look good in pink and flames?” minja spun around “like the female from hunger games! when they were burning! maybe i should get that clothes in pink and light fire to myself?” minja giggled, she would probably never be brave enough to set fire on herself.
