[ ✂ ]

     suddenly, one of the front wheels got jammed on something in the road and james was sent tumbling into the empty street. perhaps his balance had deteriorated over the past few years. “man down, man down!” he shouted dramatically to the girl that he had been hanging out with (and showing off to) — yang sunhwa. he wasn’t really hurt, minus a dull ache in his knee from the impact, but he made no effort to move. he simply laid on his back on the pavement, staring up at the sky.

james’ invitation to spectate had come as a surprise to sunhwa. not to say they didn’t get along, but with recent developments, she’s found herself drifting further and further away from any friends who stood on joja’s side. she understands circumstances and opinions, but in the end, she just can’t bring herself to fully accept it.

his attempt at reconnecting did tug on her heartstrings, though, and she concedes with a smile as they go on their merry way. she has an idea of what he has in mind by the skateboard in his hand, but there’s a bit of mystery as to where he plans on using it. the paths in yangwon weren’t exactly the smoothest. pebbles strewn about, dirt, and uneven bricks laid as obstacles everywhere—ah, but she supposes he could see them as a challenge. 

which seems to be the case as she sits by his chosen location, chin resting on her hands idly. she gives him the occasional applause at tricks well-done, but remains mostly an observer until the accident. 

“james!” she calls out in a panic as she jumps to her feet and runs over to him. “i told you the rocks were going to be a problem!” the scolding tone in her voice contrasts his laid-back attitude about the situation, but she doesn’t notice until she gets closer. 

“are...are you okay?” a frown of both confusion and concern arises on her features as she looks down at him. “you didn’t hit your head, did you?”

#ywjisun and Other Things That Ruined My Life: An Autobiography by ywsunhwa

[ywjae-deactivated20190414]

𝒍𝒆𝒕'𝒔 𝒃𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍

ft. @ywsunhwa ; 

“ so what exactly are we making ? ” jae questions, pulling yumi’s hair out of her face and tying it back in a simple braid before pecking the top of her head and ushering her off the step stool aside the counter. “ i’m limited on my apricot recipe knowledge. ” he hums, beginning to sift through his fridge. “ but i have a lot of basics and staples for whatever you have in mind. yumi, can you turn on the stereo ? ” the little girl nods, rushing over to press the red power button on jae’s barely hanging on stereo, the aged machine humming to life as one of his cd’s plays lowly in the background. 

picking an apron off his wall and tossing it over his head and around his waist, body leans against the granite counter with ease, eyes watching sunhwa in quiet interest. “ your two very qualified assistants, here to help. ” as if to echo his statement, yumi does a mini salute that has jae chuckling.  

[ywsunhwa]

there’s an expression of concentration on sunhwa’s face as she squints at the cookbook she had brought along to the nam abode. she needs something simple, yet delicious, but what? pies and tarts have been overdone recently, and as much as parfaits tempt her, they’re a little too simplistic for her tastes. maybe next time!

and that’s when she finally lands on apricot cobbler. it’s not too different from the others, but just unique enough to be an adventure for all of them. “here,” she smiles proudly as she slides the book over to jaeyoon, pointing at the recipe. “this one,” and as music clicks to life behind them, sunhwa turns to give yumi a little pat on the head before they start. how she wishes she had a child of her own. “let’s get started then, shall we?” she claps her hands together enthusiastically. “we should wash and prepare the apricots first.”

ywjisun‌:

        Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ⊶ Appreciate silence follows with a touch of awkward saturates the air around her much like a heavy perfume. it will be something she will have to get used to or shatter, but now when the stars are laughing on the ebony cloak of night, she’s not out here to be purposeful. simply let things lapse as they will, or won’t. fingers brush upon the warm mug, deciding after the girl’s comment to wait a little bit. ❛　―　thanks i’ll keep it in mind.　❜

          the question with a beginning but no ending captures her confusion for a second. is there something you need? is there something wrong? the answer to both is no but to say no by itself felt like an incorrect response. jisun focuses on the latter half instead, a tired tug of her lips into a smile. ❛　―　it is. i have a small headache from it. i didn’t think when i first began learning…that i’d have to be good with maps and drawing.　❜ 

          ❛　―　so if you ever have a map you can’t read…or get lost and have a map on hand, i’ll be able to solve all our problems. the drawing bit… not so much i’m still a stick figure preferring person.　❜ a little jest.  ❛　―　or geometry if you’re into that.　❜

as the smell of coffee permeates through the air, sunhwa starts relaxing a little more in jisun’s presence. no reason to be so formal―she’s never been the type. just be the friendly, cheery sunhwa you’ve always been. “mm...i have no idea what any of it means,” she giggles sheepishly, staring holes into the parchment just to avoid having to make eye contact. something about looking someone in the eye while in their bedroom just―...it’s too weird.

“i think we have an old map of the area lying around, but it’s pretty outdated. yangwon has changed too much recently,” there’s a tone of disdain her voice but by this point, jisun’s fully aware of the reason why. “it’s probably not worth a look anymore.”

she does laugh at the joke, though, leaning back into the softness of the bed a little more. “i nearly failed geometry back in high school. i can’t do maths to save my life,” painful memories of test days flood back into her mind. “i can’t imagine making a career out of it.” you’re amazing, she wants to say, but stops herself just in time. that’s a bit too embarrassing to say right now.

[ywsunhwa]

i’ll be here.

@ywseunghae

this situation is all too familiar to sunhwa; not because of her own experiences, but instead one of a dear friend’s. she’s lucky the path to haestal farm is ingrained in her memory at this point, as she spots out her friend and just about collapses into him from the rush.

“hae—...halmoni isn’t letting me take over the orchard!” there’s a sense of panic on her face as the words come tumbling out her lips. “well— i don’t know if she was joking but i think she’s serious about it and she doesn’t think i can handle it alone and i don’t know what to do!” she wails and her head thumps against his chest as she finally catches her breath. exhaustion is starting to seep into her bones and now she’s both sad and tired. what a day.

“i didn’t know who else to talk to...i don’t— i don’t know why,” she whines hopelessly. “this is so unfair.”

[jiwonyw-deactivated20190526]

first date. (sort of.)

for @ywsunhwa​

Maybe it had been a bit naïve of Jiwon to assume that his grandmother wouldn’t eventually latch onto his quiet single life. Where the rush came from he couldn’t quite understand but there seemed to be this idea ingrained in her that all of her grandchildren had to be married by twenty-five or she’d be a failure. Perhaps that was why he had never really found it in himself to tell her no when she’d not-so-subtly told him about this meeting she had arranged with him at the tea shop. “It’s with a girl your age. You need more friends, after all, you’re so calm and always working.”

Sunhwa was familiar in the way most people your age in a small community are; they had both visited the same year at school for as long as Jiwon could remember and she was very pretty. It just so happened that, at least going by the impression he was receiving, that she was just as hesitant about this meeting as he was, sitting across from him out of duty and not because she wanted to. “I might be wrong but… you don’t really… seem to be thrilled about this here either, no?” Jiwon smiled apologetically.

[ywsunhwa]

sunhwa loves her grandmother, really. the strong woman who’s raised her ever since she had been four was one of the biggest influences in her life. acting the part of the ever-obedient granddaughter hadn’t been tough with her innate sense of filial duty. from her education to career path, she’s been following along with barely a complaint. admittedly, that’s changed in the recent years as she’s started doing her own thing, like with cider and all. sunhwa expected support from them, seeing as she’s never been disobedient in her life. she’s still continuing the family business and all, but when she had asked the sensitive question of inheritance, her grandmother had dropped a bombshell on her.

she couldn’t have been serious, right? is all sunhwa can think as she sits across from a familiar face. ‘sunhwa-yah. go meet that nice lee boy for lunch,’ her grandmother had insisted with the aura of a matriarch, and all sunhwa could do was smile and nod. she understood what this meant, and it infuriated her. hadn’t she proved her capability for managing the orchard already? does grandmother really think she can’t handle it without a husband? 

her irritation must’ve been obvious, as jiwon speaks up. sunhwa looks back at him in shock and she remembers her manners. an awkward smile appears on her lips. “ah...yeah,” she admits sheepishly, fiddling with her hair. “not that i think you would make a bad...erm. husband? it’s just...not...” she trails off aimlessly, waving a hand through the air. “you know. it’s weird.”

✧༺ skip a stone

          Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ⊶ The sunflower seeds she’s offered the birds in the winter have blossomed into sunshine into the sky, released by the dormant animals who had incubated them in the cold months. she relishes watching the dust of white which had coated brown, vanishing to be painted over again with green in some areas. in other places, like her work site, ochre is dominant. but that’s a good thing.

           it means that jisun can finally root herself back into the ground again. allow herself to get dirty without hearing the echo of some nagging in the back of her head. her workplace but also her secret playground. though not as clandestine as she tends to pull for a game of intrigue, easily babbling on about her interest when someone asks. or showing her world to another as long as they are willing.

           spring means bringing the girl whose house she has been living in for the past two months. butterflies briefly lived in her stomach when she inquired for though two months have smoothed some things out, there had been a wall when she first arrived. she doesn’t know how far she’s broken it down but at least an agreement to visit the mountain together had been granted. 

          ❛  ― i’m sorry it’s not the most interesting thing right now since we’re still setting up so you’ll probably be a little bit disappointed but, ❜ arms stretch wide open. head cant to the side while she exposes the open field that is outside squared off by rope and pegs. ❛ ー this is the main area. we looked through historical archives and deduced that if we were to find any old artifacts it’d be here.  if you’re curious we found some ammonite fossils before and i can show you them. ❜

sunhwa doesn’t expect it when jisun invites her out on a trip. 

well, it’s less of a trip and more of a ‘bring-your-housemate-to-work-day, but the former is easier to say. 

she would’ve expected jisun to invite sunyool over her, seeing as how sunhwa’s been treating her guest the past few months. not the most courteous, she must admit, but city slickers never had good manners. that being said, at least jisun’s learned over time, adapting to the countryside lifestyle without needing sunhwa to hold her hand the whole time. maybe sunhwa had grown to like co-exist with her somewhere along the line without even noticing, and maybe that’s why she accepts jisun’s invitation without a second thought. 

she knows yangwon like the back of her hand, but the mountains have never been familiar. she can’t explain why, but she’s only ever made a couple of trips into the area, and in none of the times has she ever gone close to the mines. that’s about to change now, though, as she treks up the mountain with archaeologist by side.

as jisun introduces the area, sunhwa’s interest wavers in between the looming mountain above them and the actual dig site in front of her. it’s been awhile since she’s seen the mountain up close, though the trees block most of her view. 

“no, it looks interesting. i’m just not sure what to make of most of it,” she admits sheepishly, surveying the site. “what do you expect to find here? i was wondering why there would be anything this far out from yangwon,” she tilts her head with a frown, genuinely curious about the answer. “oh, but i would love to see those!” her eyes light up briefly at the offer of something vaguely familiar. every kid knows what a fossil is, and she’s always been curious to see what they looked like in real life. 

[ywsunhwa]

hey so i meant to do some stuff here but! i’m heading out for a fanmeeting today so i’ll be busy for the next 24 hours or so (from fatigue mostly whew),, please be patient with me :’)

[ywsunhwa]

“Did I do something wrong?”

it’s been awhile since sunhwa’s been this easily startled, but when the silence of the darkened living room is broken by the sound of the main door opening, she stiffens in her spot. it could be anything, and as far as she knows, it’s not anyone who’s supposed to be entering at this hour. everyone should be fast asleep...not that she’s checked, she supposes. 

so she tries to calm herself, setting her pen down on the table gingerly as she pushes off the couch to investigate. should she be arming herself? it couldn’t be anyone dangerous, right? not in yangwon...

the sound of the door closing startles her yet again, her heart threatening to leap out of her throat. it’s definitely not any animal then, because what kind of animal closes doors—

“huh?” a barely familiar voice and figure enters her sight and she nearly yelps in shock. an imposing figure for sure, one who’s much taller than her, but recognizable regardless.

“s-sunyool?!” she clutches at her chest, her breath finally returning from the tension. “what are you— oh my god,” she exhales sharply, turning away from the boy. it’s just her brother, thank god, but why— 

“did i do something wrong?” he almost squeaks out, shrinking back into himself. sunhwa could’ve sworn he temporarily reverted back into a child for a moment.

“where were you...why were you just coming in? where have you been?” she tries not to sound too bossy, but he shouldn’t have been out at this hour. it takes a moment for her to look back at him, but when she does, her eyes widen in horror. “you’re hurt!” she approaches him almost instinctively, crouching down to inspect his wounds. it’s nothing too bad, but the specks of blood send a chill down her spine. “what happened? go sit down. i’ll go get some water,” she almost orders, her protective instinct kicking in before anything else.

@ywjisun:

    Cognac hues in the relentless concentration of the mind, narrow themselves onto the map in front of her. with spring bringing in signs of renewed life and the layer of white vanishing, it was time for her to update the map for the new stratum. footsteps failed to be heard by her ears at first, but the soft knock registers. startled, but not in a manner where motions are visible, jisun swivels around in her chair to face the girl.

❛ – oh,  ❜ lackadaisical expression is quickly replaced with crescent eyes and an upturned smile. ❛ – thank you, that’s so sweet of you. ❜ she uses one hand to motion to the bed, the other quickly scrambling to create some space on the desk for the warm drink that she definitely needed. ❛ – if you don’t mind…uh feel free to join me for a bit. ❜

sunhwa’s nod stutters a little in nervousness, still unsure of how to really act around jisun when it’s just the two of them. she smiles, though, and steps into the room briskly. the door shuts with a quiet click behind her and she makes her way up to the desk the archaeologist is sat at. “here. be careful, it’s a little hot,” the mug is placed in between sheets of paper, the only open spot she sees in the sea of parchment. 

jisun’s offer does stun her, though. curious as to what she might have in mind, sunhwa decides to postpone her own work for now. “uhm, sure,” she nods politely again and gingerly takes a seat on the bed. it’s a bit weird, sitting in someone’s room like this (even if it is her home), and she can’t help but fidget because of it. 

“is there something?” the question is open ended, but light, breaking the silence as she can’t help but sneak a peak at jisun’s work. “that looks really complicated.”

yooo i’m haru!! and here is my girl yang sunhwa! she’s the local apple girl (like the fruit, not the phone), and will!! fight for yangwon’s honor. her family’s been in yangwon for more generations than she knows about, and their orchard is a national treasure (not really, but she thinks so). she’s super proud of their legacy (and fruit) and lowkey hates jojamart for stealing business and upsetting the balance of their town. she’s the first generation to start making cider from their produce, but it’s been a success already, landing her a spot in the family register as a innovator!! (an exaggeration.)

anyways i’ll leave some info about her under the cut and her links here, but please like to this post if you would like me to slide into your ims for plotting <3

lives with her grandparents ever since her parents ditched her for haesan when she was four !(:

she’s lived apart from them ever since, only ever visiting during big events and holidays

has a younger brother who was born in haesan ( @/ywsunyool ) who she’s barely even talked to

essentially an only child raised by her grandparents

she’s fine with it now, though. gotten over her abandonment issues and all (not really)

works at her family’s orchard (blossom orchard) which produces apricots in the spring and apples in the fall

really loves yangwon and hates jojacorp

isn’t a mean person but will give you the “i’m not mad, i’m just disappointed” look

she’s learned how to make apricot and apple cider all on her own! to improve business after jojamart opened

just kinda really likes it herself tbh

anyways i’m open to most plots just hmu with anything!
