@Park Chaeyoung [poke]

@Park Chaeyoung "Well yeah...but not like that though. You'll find out soon enough." Her face fell, but then lifted back up. "Oh goodie!" she said,
Oh wait, can I use your restroom? I should wash my hands." SHe stood up.

@Jessica Jung "Oh your sing- eh? son? You have a son?" Rose blinked in surprise, her head cocked in curiosity. "You're single but you have a son?" She asked one more time, trying to process it. Rose let out a pout at her request. "Sorry to say but we don't have that" She paused for a moment before giving her a surprise smile. "Kidding, ofcourse we have that!. I'll order it for you."

@Park Chaeyoung :Oh gosh, no. I'm single," said Jessica, "If you must know it's my son." Jessica's eyes got wide at the site of the macarons. "Do you...have...bubble tea. Specifically sweet taro bubble tea?"

@Jessica Jung "Oh really? It's a he huh? is he your boyfriendd? husband?" Rose suggested, wiggling her eyebrows playfully at Jessica. "Well yeah. very draining if it is not going well" She nodded her head in agreement. "Ofcourse! we sell anything a cafe sell. what beverage do you want sica?" She motioned towards the menu they had displayed. The macaroons soon arrived on a pastel pink playe displayed and stacked perfectly. Rose said thank you to her worker before sliding the plate towards sica "there you go, love"

@Park Chaeyoung "You'll find out when he comes. It's a surprise," replied Jessica. "Yep, yep that's true. Also relationships can be draining." She looked around a bit. "So, do you sell any beverages here by any chance?" she asked.

@Jessica Jung Rose could not help but burst into slight laughter wheb the other squeaked, her head shaking in amussment at how excited her friend could be. She jotted down her orders before saying "I'll be right back madam" and then going to the counter, passing the menu towards her worker to make send the macaroons their way. [ Yup I did ahahaha] Rose walked back towards her friend, pulling the chair back before sitting on it, inclining her back to lean on the chair. "Oh really? Who is it?" She asked, her tone questioning the other. She then nodded her head at what the older had said. "Yeah I can just give love to myself you knoww"

@Park Chaeyoung Jessica squeaked at "order anything, it's on the house." Her eyes widened. "Macarons..." she said in a loud whisper. "Oh gosh, I would really like some macarons," she said in her now normal voice, "Two raspberry ones, a salted caramel one, and one nutella filled one please." She clapped gently. That's when the sound of the song 'Hoot' by SNSD could be heard. It was her alarm on her phone. She really liked that group. There were nine members and one of them even shared her first name, which was so cool! [lol see what I did there?] This alarm in particular was her reminder that her son was getting out of school now and she had to pick him up. On Fridays she always picked him up and dropped him off. "Oh, wait just a second," she said to Rose. She sent a text his way to tell him to walk from school to meet her at the bakery, since this area wasn't far from the school anyway, luckily. She put her phone back. "I may...or may not have someone special for you to meet," chuckled Jessica. Returning to the original conversation, she said, "Well, sometimes being alone is the best, to be honest."

@Jessica Jung "Yeah, Sorry for not telling you. Moving was an impulse thing, we wanted to get away from the city hence why." Rose answered, pulling the other's hand and guiding her to a table. "Really? Why haven't we see each other then? that's so weirdd. Ahhh, no wonder. Yeaaah we have a lot of catching up to do." She nodded her head pulling a chair for the other. "Sit down Jessica and order anything. It's on the house just for you" The owner grinned at her friend before passing her the menu. "Well, nothing much. I became a certified baker and now a bakery owner. My love life? boring. I've dated some times in highschool but none of them lasted so here I am a single Rose." Fits of chuckles escape her lips at her last sentence, shaking her head slightly.

@Park Chaeyoung "Oh I never knew the name of the town you had gone to. I never thought we'd see each other ever again. I'm so glad we found each other," said Jessica. Then, to answer the other's question, "Oh, no. I actually live here now. I moved here a year ago actually. I can't believe we haven't seen each other until now. I wanted to live somewhere that was nice and quiet so I could focus on my work. Also, less competition in the photography business this way. Oh gosh, we have so much catching up to do. Tell me more. What's going on in your life now?"

@Jessica Jung Rose pulled away a bit from the hug, smiling at her old friend infront of her. "Yup. This is my bakery!" She exclaimed proudly, pulling away completely then putting her hands up to show the other around. "You know how I loved to bake so yeah, this is mine." Her lips curled into a grin. "Aws thank you jessica, Yeah. I moved here after you know, my mom died and life has been very great. I made new neighbours and friends. and it has been peaceful. What made you come here? are you here for a trip?"

@Park Chaeyoung Jessica held the other tight, noticing how she smelled like baked goods. Oh wow, this must be her bakery. "Is this your bakery, Rose?" she asked, "Oh, and thank you. You're even more beautiful. I'm doing good. Life's great! How about you? Is this the town that you had moved to years ago?"

@Jessica Jung Chaeyoung let out a high pitched squeal, immediately going over to Jessica to hug her tight. "Oh my gosh. I wondered what happened to you too! You're so beautiful now! oh gosh. How are you? How's life?" She pulled away slightly, bombarding the other with questions after questions. "Its such fate to meet you here girl!"

@Park Chaeyoung Jessica laughed at the other's suggestion. "I'm a photographer more than a model," she teased. She took another picture. "Yeah, that's my name." She saw the other's eyes widen. "You okay?" "Wait...how do you know...? You're...?" She remembered. "You're Park Chaeyoung? Oh my gosh, Rose!" Jessica put down her camera. "Oh gosh, I wondered what happened to you. I never forgot!" He hugged the other.

@Jessica Jung Chaeyoung could not help but flush a bit from embarassement. It was not an ordinary thing for her pictures to be taken so suddenly. "Take a bite? Why don't you take a bite and I'll take a picture of you!" She suggested, not really wanting to do that picture. Chaeyoung nodded her head when she introduced herself, humming in understandment. "Oh-wait your name is Jessica Jung?" Her eyebrows furrowed at the familiar name, her mind immediately taking her to the past where she used to have a really close friend back at her old town, her name.. was Jessica Jung. Her eyes widened, scanning the other's face. It was her. "Jessica? Sice? I'm Chaeyoung! Rose!" She exclaimed excitedly. "Do you remember me?"

@Park Chaeyoung "Oh yeah, that's good!" replied Jessica when she saw the other looking at the menu. It looked so natural. She snapped a few pictures. "Okay, so like could you take a bite out of something for a picture?" She held the camera up. "Oh yeah...and to answer the question...yeah! Well sorta. I own a photography studio. I'm a professional photographer. The name's Jessica Jung."

@Jessica Jung Chaeyoung couldn't help but jump a bit when she was surprised, her eyes widened slightly at the same time when her hair kinda hit her face.Blinking multiple times, a bit taken a back, she supressed her chuckles, meeting the eyes of this woman. She seemed.. vaguely familiar.
"Hel-" Chaeyoung's words were cut by the sound of a shutter when the woman suddenly took a picture of her. What just happened? she chewed on her lip. "Uhm Madam, where are you from? Do you work for a company or?" She started to ask, tilting her head slightly after hearing her request. "Uhmm sure." Shrugging her shoulders, she back away, standing over the macaron displays, she decided to not look at the camera as she flipped across a menu book, wanting it to be captured candidly

@Park Chaeyoung Jessica was in her own world whenever she took photos. If she had a dollar for everytime Austin near gave her a heart attack just by saying "Hey" softly whenever she was in the zone, well, she'd own all of Littleton, wouldn't she? She made a cute "eep" and jumped slightly when tapped. She turned, but probably a bit too fast, her silky, luxurious hair swund around and might have hit the other in the face. Might have...she didn't know for sure. "Huh?" Jessica asked cutely. She saw a pretty girl with pink hair, and well, whenever Jessica saw something pretty...
*click*
She snapped a picture of the woman too, because she was aesthetic, too. Especially with that hair. "Hey," said Jessica from behind the camera, "Hey, can you do me a favor? Could you stand over by the macaron display?" Mm...macarons...she'd have to get some after she was done with her art. "It's make for a great picture."

@Jessica Jung "Done." The pink haired girl stepped a few steps back, her eyes scanning the two tiered Sophia the first themed birthday cake that was ordered, looking for flaws. A proud grin replaced her frown, clapping her hands, feeling satisfied with herself. She placed the cake on a display before asking her one and only employee to finish it up, washing her hands, she then stepped outside, noticing no one had entered the store, so she just continued to wipe down the counter right after. She looked towards the corner of her store and to her surprise, a very sophisticated looking woman had already entered, a camera hanging on her neck as she seemed to be taking pictures very professionally. Not that she mind her taking pictures but she wanted to know if she was maybe from any blogs or an instagram influencer. Maybe that can help her sales? Chaeyoung stepped forward, approaching the woman before giving a tap on her shoulders. "Hello may I help you?" She greeted with a smile on her face, craning her neck a bit to look at what the woman just took pic off.

@Park Chaeyoung Jessica entered the bakery called Cherry Blossoms on a winter afternoon. She had been driving around town running errands while her "son" Austin was at school. The silly woman almost ended up having a traffic accident when she had been distracted by the cutest looking shop ever. She just had to stop by and check it out. Now Jessica wasn't one for sweets e̶x̶c̶e̶p̶t̶ ̶b̶u̶t̶t̶e̶r̶ ̶p̶e̶c̶a̶n̶ ̶i̶c̶e̶ ̶c̶r̶e̶a̶m̶,̶ ̶t̶a̶r̶o̶ ̶b̶u̶b̶b̶l̶e̶ ̶t̶e̶a̶,̶ ̶m̶a̶c̶a̶r̶o̶n̶s̶,̶ ̶f̶r̶a̶p̶p̶e̶s̶,̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶m̶o̶c̶h̶i̶ , but the bakery was so aesthetic she just had to get a closer look. It was the artist in her getting thirsty. She grabbed her camera after parking and hurridly rushed down the sidewalk to where she had saw the shop. "ooh," she cooed. She took a picture of one of the displays in the windows and then went inside. So far it seemed empty. Maybe someone was working in the back. Everything was right about the display cases in there. Great uses of bright colors, not to mention everything was so nice and neat. It was so beautiful one would have thought all the pastries behind the glass would surely be fake, but they were real. Not to mention the lighting in the bakery gave such ambiance. She started snapping away, taking pictures.

@Oh Seunghee *takes a sip of my drink*
Things have been well—
I mean, I’m working at the casino now.
So as good as it can be.

@Jeon Jungkook *quickly takes the second bite of cake, wanting to have tasted it first*
I’ve been good, actually.
I’m taking a year between undergrad and grad school so I can stay home for once.
How have things been for you?

@Oh Seunghee *smiles and happily takes the first bite of cake, and talks with a mouthful*
Yeah, something like that.
*swallows*
How have you been?

@Jeon Jungkook *pays for a cake for us to share and a coffee for each of us*
*joins you at the table, sitting the items in front of you*
I’m glad we finally got to meet up like this.
It’s been, what, almost a year now?

@Lee Naeun It was but eh, though on the positive side , im happy , and thats all that matters , and thank you , its yeah , will be hard in a sense of always being alone , but hey with you on my side, and me on your side, I can support you all You need at anytime
*picks up a banana tart and takes a bite, going wide eyed upon the great taste *
Wait really? Ah I see, sometimes you need to break away even if it is hard, though medicine is quite an interesting subject even if you do not like it , however I ought to write them a letter to try and change their minds , i will make sure its anonymus, but only if you think it is helpful
*frowns then looks at you folding my arms and looks at you in interest*
Ah, all that time studying, did you have something else in mind, ah I see, I do see, and have they left you alone? Also , if you wish I can help you find what you do like and help you acheive it ?

@Chou Tzuyu It sounds really tough. Being a cop is such a great career choice. It's a pity they don't see that. It must have been really hard on you. I'm happy to be by your side and help you. /smiles a little/
/heaves a sigh and rubs my palms together/
My parents didn't want me to be a teacher either. They want me to be a doctor like my father that's why I'm taking up medicine at the same time. It's to appease them. /chuckles bitterly/
You know, I also don't want to be a teacher. I don't really know what I want but I'm sure that I don't want to be a teacher. I just did this to rebel, hoping that they'd leave me alone.

@Lee Naeun I do beleive you are right though, yes that is the truth, but even still sometimes it is better to be silent about it , it stops others from questioning , yet othertimes its right to tell
*rubs the back of my neck while looking at you with a frown*
Well yes, ah perhaps one day you will , one day you will, but unlike you I will admit this, you dont have to run away after your parents tell you not to return, they opened my letter of congratulations upon becoming a cop, boy where they furious , so I just thought "stuff this" and became a cop here, got transferred here and bingo we have met
*shakes my head softly then leans back*
Adjusting to different foods and other things was a little hassle, but regretful no, not at all

@Chou Tzuyu /shakes my head, smiling in reassurance when you told me what happened before/
No, it's all right. It's better to spill them out than to be sad and broken alone. Don't be like me. Be honest in how you feel. Only then, you'll truly be happy.
/sighs softly, pouting a little/
In a way, we're similar, huh? The only difference is that unlike you, I don't have the courage to run away. Or maybe, it's just me who do not know what I want.
/shrugs my shoulders; eating the slice of strawberry cheesecake this time/
So, you don't regret anything, right? You don't regret being a cop?

@Lee Naeun (Yes thank you)

I am not sure I don't think I have yet but I will though
*nods a few times*
It's surprising, you haven't met other people but it's strange how things suddenly happen and boom we are friends
*shakes my head at you quietly*
They didn't want me educated, they wanted me to stay home and do house work that's all ,but I mean I had consequences, but when they were out I ran off to learn at the local school,and boy they where not at all pleased I became a cop,so I left...Ah I really did spill too much just then,we only just met

@Chou Tzuyu [[No, it's okay. We're both busy and it's understandable ^-^"]]

Speaking of being friendly, have you met other people from the town yet? How are they? Are they being nice towards you? I hope they are.
/takes a spoonful of the last bite of the blueberry cheesecake/
I think it has been a while since I met other people aside from my coworkers, students, and parents.
/blinks my eyes in surprise then furrows my eyebrows/
Ran away? Why did you run away? No, why did you have to run away? Did they not approve of your career choice either?
/smiles gratefully and nodded my head/
Noted!
