Dreams May Come

[ywhyunseo-blog]

“hrm, okay.” yihwa frowns, not intending to let go of hyunseo’s hand anytime soon. if anything, she squeezes tighter, chuckling quietly at how unorthodox her friend’s train of thought sounds out loud. not because it’s pathetic or ridiculous or anything in that nature. she takes a minute to let the energy of it sink in so she can have a better word for it, clicking her tongue in the meantime to interrupt the silence. “i mean, what exactly was i doing for you to come to that conclusion?” her brows knit in concern, mouth straight as she studies the other’s face, allowing the silence to linger with them in this space.

“i don’t have to be,” she reassures, belatedly. minutes prior, she’d been absorbing hyunseo’s words for their worth, the accompanying mindset of words only mean something if you want them to fighting to exist louder, almost to the point of her thinking aloud herself. her breath’s a bit shaky when she inhales, the exhale & co. being, “i mean, you’re weird and all but who says that’s not something to stay for?” backing it up with a lighthearted laugh, yihwa leans into her friend’s side and opts for clinging to her arm, head resting on her shoulder. “god knows i am, too.” 

they fit this way. behind closed eyes, there’s a daydream where it lasts.

She figures it was as silly as it sounded, to think that there was some truth to the dream that one of her longtime friends actually secretly hates her, as they were spending time together.  An example from the dream was asked for and she knows what she has isn’t exactly concrete.  “It was mostly the feeling, you just seemed... different. I’d try talking to you, but you’d give me these awful looks, like you couldn’t stand to be around me anymore.”  It was honestly a bit distressing to even think about, it hurt that even Dream Yihwa would think that poorly of her. 

“Please don’t be.”  The words came out quietly, as though she was still worried that the dream might have been partially true, maybe even partially pleading with her friend over something that hasn’t even manifested itself.  Yihwa calling her weird brought a smile to her face, as she did know that the other doesn’t mean anything harmful by it, more something affectionate, a term of endearment between friends.  As Yihwa’s head rests on her shoulder, Hyunseo lets her own softly rest on top of it.  “I wouldn’t change you if I could.  I like you just the way you are.”

Dreams May Come

@ywyihwa  continued from here

Dreams were a weird thing to Hyunseo.  She was pretty sure that she had read that scientifically, they really didn’t have much weight to them, that basically, it was your brain just giving itself something to do during REM sleep, but a part of her liked the more romantic approach to dreams, that they had a deeper meaning than just your brain being bored.

If they did, though, then she supposed she understood this one.

Her friend’s words slipped into her ear and she met the other’s gaze before tucking some hair behind her ear before giving her an honest nod.  “It did feel real.” She knew she would have to give a little more information than that, but the simplest response was okay for the moment. “I know it’s silly, but I think it was a bit of my own thoughts manifesting.” She averts her eyes again, settling down at her own feet for the moment.  “I know it’s... not always easy being my friend and I worry that maybe a lot of people might actually hate me.”  It sounded even sillier to her now that she was saying it out loud, but it was something she did wonder, with how she was probably considered odd by a lot of people.

“And I really wouldn’t want you to be one of them.  The dream hurt a bit, but it would hurt more in real life.”

As the Crow Flies

@ywjisun

She’s running late and she knows it.  It’s a habit that she can’t seem to break herself of and she’s thankful to those friends that have stuck by her side despite the constant disarray her life seems to be in.  Today she was on her way to go meet up with Jisun, one of the aforementioned friends, to play some music. They hadn’t exactly figured out what they’d do for a collaboration yet, but Hyunseo had been itching to play her violin recently, so this was a good of a time as any.

She had left her house on time, violin case in hand, but as per usual, she found herself distracted along the way.  She had remembered she had a book to drop off at the library, which, of course, led her to get into a conversation about the book with the librarian on duty, and she couldn’t leave without getting another book out to replace the one she just returned, so by the time she had found a suitable one, it was thirty minutes later and she still needed to make her way to Jisun’s place.

As she approached the house, she noticed a few crows around the property. She was quite fond of the birds herself, so it was notable enough that when her friend answered the door after she knocked, the first thing out of her mouth, instead of her apology for being late was “Did you know you have a small murder on at your place?” as she looked over her shoulder.

“Do you always do what the elders say?”

“Hmm?” It takes a moment for Hyunseo to contemplate the question, but she quickly shakes her head. “No, not always, if I did, there would be a lot less adventure, right? And a big part of science is questioning why!” she muses to her friend.  Even though she isn’t saying anything overly scandalous, it still seems odd to question the elders sometimes.  Probably expectations from around the community, but how could they learn anything new if they didn’t try to push the boundaries a little bit?

“The elders say that we shouldn’t really go in the woods, right? But I’ve been out there thousands of times and nothing has happened to me!” she claims, not really counting the scrapes and bruises she usually has, or that time when she broke her arm when she was eight.  Trying to build a glider out of just branches and leaves was not exactly her brightest moment. 

“Plus, if we really think about it, the elders are our oldest residents… but the trees are even older than them, and with all the things I’ve learned in the forest, I’d say that the trees would absolutely think I should be out there, so maybe the town elders should listen to their elders a little more,” she pauses for a second, wondering if that made sense, but she figures if anyone might get her, it was Yihwa. 

“In the world, there are examples of surviving species from prehistoric times, like crocodilians and certain fish species that are still around from back then, like the coelacanth, did you know they thought that it was extinct before they found one? It was located in…” she trails off, realizing she had moved onto another topic… but couldn’t remember what the original one was anymore.  “What was the question?” she asks with a pout, feeling sorry that she likely had rambled on too much.

“I’m going to need a little help here.”

The two girls had been carrying items picked up at the market back to the place Jisun was staying in order to practice playing some music together when Hyunseo had spotted the first anthill of the year that she had seen since the cold winter months had started to give way to the new year.  “Whoa you guys are early!” she said, crouching down to watch the tiny insects go about their business, having set the bags down next to her on the ground. Not exactly the most ideal of places, since they were in the middle of this task, but how could she pass this up?

“I think they might still be a little cold, they seem almost lethargic,” she states as she watches, fully entertained enough to not quite notice her friend coming over and picking up the bags she had set down, only to take a few steps and have a couple items from Hyunseo’s bag drop out and roll onto the ground.  They were unharmed, but hearing her companion say she needed help broke her out of her almost trance-like state.

“Sorry, sorry, sorry!” she said, getting up and scrambling after the items, scooping them up and taking the bags back.  She was glad that at least Jisun was willing to put up with her. She knew that sometimes she could be frustrating because her attention would become split.  “Here,” she says with a soft smile and takes a couple of Jisun’s bags as well to make up for it, it was the least she could do.

“Whatever you’re thinking right now, it’s not that.”

“I’m not going to ask again.”

“I’m brave when I am with you.”

“How could you not realise you’re bleeding?”

“I haven’t seen this in years!”

“Have you lost your senses?!”

“Do you think I was too hard on them?”

“What on earth are you wearing?”

“I’m not sorry.”

“If we get trapped, it’s my fault and I apologize.”

“If only the world wouldn’t get in the way.”

“I’ll let you go this one time.”

“What are you holding?!”

“Shh… Be quiet!”

“Are you still angry?”

“I’m going to need a little help here.”

“We make such a good team.”

“Do you always do what the elders say?”

“There won’t be another chance for me.”

“I will always be there for you when you need me.”

“Did I do something wrong?”

“I’m sorry, I’m not good at saying goodbye.”

“That was beautiful and very weird.”

“No offense, but that’s disgusting.”

“I dreamt that you hated me.”

“Wow, you’re terrifying.”

“As if we’d ever turn down a free dinner.”

“You okay over there? You sound like you’re dying.”

“So what’s this supposed to do?”

Hi!  I’m Kyle and this is my girl, Hyunseo!  We’re both really happy to be here, I’m in EST, though my sleep schedule is fairly messed up, so it might not seem that way ^^ 

Just quick glance stuff here first, here’s Hyunseo’s Profile and her Mini - About!  I currently don’t have a plots page up, but I’ll try to work on that soon as well, but that doesn’t mean we can’t figure something out! For those who don’t want to click on the links (and anyone else that’d like to learn more), I’ll include some more under the cut!

Hyunseo is 21 and works for her family at Sleepytime Farm and at their stall, Sleepytime Tea Stand.  She usually seems to be in a great mood, a bright smile and friendly demeanor towards everyone she meets. She is smarter than most people take her for, as she often appears to be distracted and not fully all in one place at one time.  She isn’t trying to be rude, she’s just got a lot of things taking up space in her mind!  She’s big on nature, especially animals and isn’t afraid to spend time in the woods, despite some people warning her about potential danger there.  She dabbles in a little bit of everything, from reading quite a bit, archery, nature photography, animal rehabilitation, and playing the violin!

One thing that she does have for a hobby, that only a very small select people may know about her, is that she has a fascination with amateur robotics and even has a small hidden collection of parts where she tries to build some of her own. While her family is very traditional about not thinking the latest tech is all that great, Hyunseo has an outlook that maybe someday technology can be something to help the natural world that she loves so much.
