jooae wasn’t a materialistic person. if she didn’t absolutely love something, then she didn’t buy it. her mother called her picky, her father called her smart. so the things that she did have were very precious to her. and that included the only eye shadow palette that she brought with her. the only one she owned. it was an expensive one - she’d gotten it the last time she’d been in america and had spent a solid seventy dollars on it. it was a splurge, but she’d never regretted it.
so when it went missing in her hotel room, she was a little beside herself. she tore everything apart, checking bags and under beds and in the drawers to no avail. and then she saw eunyoung in the lobby, a very specific shade that jooae knew very well smeared carefully over her eyelids.
she felt heat rise to her cheeks as rage swelled in her heart. it was totally in character for her to steal things and she immediately started trying to determine the best way to go about addressing this. carefully? ideal. but the second she opened her mouth, her exhaustion and frustration was evident in her tone.
“unnie, if you want to borrow my things i don’t care. but please ask. can i have my eye shadow palette back? i can’t finish my makeup without it. it’s mine anyway.”
eunyoung--was feeling good. too good, per say. after all, she had been having more than just an eye on that palette that one of the snc members had had in their drawers. what was her name again? right. jooae. it wasn’t her fault that she had short term memory sometimes when it came to the people that she didn’t really want to care about, not especially those where she had to cut away her own share of the spotlight, though eunyoung supposed with the amount of terror that came with sharing their tiny spaces with her, she could very well be nicer to them.
“hm?” ignorance, is the easiest thing to fake when one of the snc members come to seek her out to demand back an item she had not stolen--rather taken with slight doubts about returning. after all in this case, they were just going to assume that it was her anyway, since she had worn a dab of the eyeshadow for her own makeup. she preened a little, studying her own reflection in the mirror. “oh darling, what eyeshadow?” she hummed, almost cooing out the entire sentence as sultrily as she could. “i don’t recall any particular eye shadow palette.” her eyes lift, brows raised, before she exhales softly and tilts her head.
“maybe you left it somewhere or something? perhaps in one of the makeup artist’s kits or rooms where we do make up or anything? and what do you mean you can’t finish your makeup without an eyeshadow palette? are you telling me that you need something of mine to help finish up your make up?” she leaned forward crossing her arms. “but then again, maybe i did use your makeup and forgot to return it. but sharing is caring, isn’t it?”
