@w. yukhei () aaah i'll reply back to this one then you reply at the aquarium if that's alright with you? :")

"Aaah rpgs hm? It's cool but it's so much to do aha. I used to play sports like fighting games but i just pressed random buttons." lets out a soft laugh before slipping my hand around your arm. "Let's go, love!" starts walking with you while the sun was blazing.

@e. perrie my lips conform to an honest chuckle, standing up alongside you, "i mainly play just rpgs and some sports games. i dont play those games either, honestly." my head nods, letting my posture stand up straight from the bench. the heat from the sun and in the air collects at one place, forcing me to exhale once im relieved from my sitting position. "sure, let's head on over there!"

[ yes! lets continue there. did you want to start or should i? i dont mind starting tbh. ]

@w. yukhei () hey, do you wanna continue this at the aquarium room?

@w. yukhei "Good then-wait what kind of games you play? I don't play the community games like fortnite and other games like that." i chuckled while shaking my head. i gasp in awe by your answer to my question especially about hanging out more at the aquarium, i get up from the bench right away as i stretch my arms out. "Alrighty my ice cream partner, you ready to go? I'm ready whenever you are!" toothily grins while dancing a lil because it would be my first time going to a aquarium.

@e. perrie i allow the spoon i had to casually rest between the grip of my teeth, drawing small circles with my feet soon thereafter as the ice cream slowly dissipates to small, melted globules on the inside of the tub, "well, i just think that video games are good in general for putting my attention elsewhere. but sure thing! i think games are always fun with more people." my head conformed to a gentle nod before grabbing a napkin and letting the spoon reside there for the time being. i gave you a quick nod, always in the mood for another go at ice cream whenever the time calls for it, "yes, please do let me know. it was particularly good on this hot day." a breath of mine exhales out sharply, surveying the area for a bit, "sounds good, i love aquariums! definitely one of my favorite places to be."

@w. yukhei i end up grinning widely by your words and actions, finding it adorable as . watches your try to get the last of the ice cream that was left before scooping up a lil bit of the ice cream that was on the side. i take off the last of the ice cream on my spoon all while listening to your hobbies before nodding. "very interesting indeed. i thought you wouldn't be the type to play video games but i was wrong. we should play video games together one day? it's been awhile i've played any since i've been at the university. i'm also glad you're exercising and finding it fun while me i like exercising but it isn't fun aha." i chuckled especially since the ice cream only had tiny bit of ice cream left. "there is hardly any left but at least i got a ice cream partner. whenever our favorite ice cream is in this store but there is only one left, i will let you know hm? shall we go somewhere else? maybe the aquarium?" looks at you with curiosity.

@e. perrie another soft simper is displayed across my lips before it falters, my bits of laughter mirroring yours for a bit, pleased and thankful for your words of support, "thank you! and as to you as well. school life isn't always easy so let's get through this alive, okay?" my fists ball up in the air as well, toward the radiant sun. the modest tub was already seeming a little low in volume, my spoon trying to scoop up smaller pieces to allow the dessert to be savored. "ah, i see," i lean back slightly on the bench, posture relaxed, "well, i like to do all sorts of things. i mainly watch anime and play video games from time to time. i've also been getting into exercising recently so that's really fun as well." my gaze drops down toward the tub of ice cream, "ah man... it's almost gone."

@w. yukhei "i am very glad to hear that, love! i give you lots of my support and luck!" i put my fist up in the air. i look over at the ice cream, pouting a lil because it's almost finished while i listen to your words especially the question before letting out a soft chuckle . "aha wow there's a lot of hobbies to list but mostly i like to watch movies/tv shows, sleep, eat foods especially trying out new ones, go out to places especially with my friends, party, and going to fashion shows to find inspiration. if you wanna know more, hang out with me more." a lil smirk appears upon the side of my lips. "how about you though?"

@e. perrie another bright beam of a smile raise the corners of my lips upward, "that's great! and yes, it certainly looks that way. i'm always more concerned about job stability as well, and for accounting, it's fairly decent," i tossed you another firm nod, holding the spoon in between my teeth in thought. the rays of the sun were particularly radiant today. my body moves slightly at the small nudge, "how about any other hobbies? what else do you like to do in your free time..." my hand moved over too scoop another small piece, "...besides going to the store and eating this ice cream, of course."

@w. yukhei i take the ice cream off the spoon while i listen what your major is, smiling at you. "Well that's alright, as long as you doing what you love. Oh fashion photography is really fun indeed! I've started to fall in love with it ever since my aunt who was a fashion photographer, took me to her photoshoots when i was a lil kid. It's really want i wanna do, i hope you wanna do accounting as well as your future career." i nudge you a lil as i look at you while still smiling because i enjoy talking to you.

@e. perrie the heat of the environment was finally starting to get to the ice cream, small droplets of the dessert pooling slightly into the tub. it made it much easier for my spoon to dig out a piece to eat, "gotcha, fashion and modeling. i'm majoring in accounting right now. nothing really to write home about; i'm doing a lot of math for the time being." another subtle strings of chuckles made its way out, "fashion photography seems a lot more exciting," i dropped my spoon into my mouth, dragging it along to savor the taste, "i assume that's what you want to do for a career, then?"

@w. yukhei i nod by your first question before i chuckle after hearing the second one because it was indeed a small world because i've seen people especially my friends and teachers i've seen in the university a lot of times. "aha i agree with the small world thing even though this city is big asf. i'm also a sophomore and you're very welcome by the way. i've never seen you before either so no need to say sorry aha. " i chuckled while i shake my head. "aah i study fashion photography and modeling. there is a few people who study it but not a lot. how about you though?" after you take a scoop, i end up taking a scoop as well.

@e. perrie my eyes seemingly trailed along the edges of the plastic spoon, stopping at the edge of the tub once i realized that we both went to the same university. it was a fairly sizable school, so i'm not surprised to see an unfamiliar face who also went to a familiar setting. also i was never the type to seek out many others in my leisure, "wow, you go to solace too? i'm a sophomore there right now... small world, huh?" i erupted out a small bit of laughter from me. it seemed purely coincidental to be faced in a scenario like this. "thank you, though. sorry if i never recognized you before, i don't get out much except, well, today. what do you study at solace?" my fingers allowed the spoon to reach for another scoop.

@w. yukhei "aha it seems you about to ask a question first so take your time, love." i scoop some more ice cream by my spoon. i put the spoon in my mouth to taste the ice cream while i listen to your very first question in the game, looking back at you while still smiling. "i go the solace, a university that isn't far from here. oh hell yesh, it stresses me the hell out but i can make it through anything so i got this." i nod with confidence. "how about you though? you look like you're in high school as a senior which was a compliment because you look 18."

@e. perrie my nod and string of chuckles amused me to the thought in agreement, "that's very true as well." my fingertips coddled the handle of the plastic spoon as it dug into the ice cream. a small imprint of the spoon perfectly shaped a crater into the icy dessert, before i stuck the spoon into my mouth. though used to its flavor, i was always joyed to eat it whenever i could, each time seemingly like it's my first. "the question game," my gaze deviated toward you then back at the tub, "alright, well let's see..." another bite of ice cream accompanied his thoughts. small hums vibrated between his lips. he had never met the woman before, so naturally, where to start with questions was always tough. "ah, where do you go to school then? i can only imagine the school the stresses you out that much."

@w. yukhei "aha if you didn't snatch the ice cream and i yelled at you which kicked us out, we wouldn't be here so you right." i point my finger with a wiggle at you while a lil smirk appears upon the side of my lips. a lil surprised by your words because you didn't think it was weird before i end up smiling in amuse. "well aha not to save money but whenever i drop my spoon or fork because i've been dropping them lately." i chuckled with a nod, taking the spoon out of the cutlery wrap while you open the tub. i gasp in awe by the amazing ice cream flavor upon me then looking at you. "hell yesh, we shall! also shall we play the question game? i gotta admit, you're interesting so i'm curious about you." scooping up some ice cream with a spoon before tasting the ice cream, hums in delight all while smiling at you.

@e. perrie my mind wavers over the thought of taking on such endeavors, especially that many at a time. another fit of laughter mirrors yours, "oh i hardly think i deserve it more. but i mean we're here now," i took a seat before glancing over at the array of plastic cutlery, the small jingles they made as they collided with each other, before i gave your antics a slight nod, "no, no, i actually think that's pretty neat. save money i guess?" a small grin lapped over my lips. i grabbed one of the spoons before opening up the tub, the ice cream still unsullied, flat in shape yet slightly eroding at the sides from the heat. "let's dig it then."

@h. tiffany going to the night market was supposed to be an exciting activity for nahee. it was one of the few things that seemed like home, with authentic korean food warm and freshly made. perhaps that's why she was so distracted, savoring the taste of so many foods she had craved, and that's why she was now finished at an extremely late time. she hadn't been keeping track of time, only leaving when the food vendors started to, too, and that was perhaps her greatest downfall so far in seoul. the last bus back to campus and the dorm had left a whole thirty minutes ago, and nahee knew she couldn't catch up to it no matter how fast she ran. in fact, the bus probably left the campus stop ten minutes ago since it wasn't that far.

the young woman sighed, biting on her lower lip as she weighed her options. should she take the late-night subway train or just walk back home? she'd never been on the subway before, but she knew it was fast. if anything, she could always ask for help... right? she didn't know, and she wasn't sure if she wanted to find out either. should we walk back? her heeled platform sandals were of no help right now. she frowned, kicking a rock, when she heard someone trying to speak to her. "h-huh?" she's utterly confused. do strangers in seoul usually help others like this? what if the woman was a serial killer or a kidnapper? "u-uh... i'm fine. don't worry about me and continue about your way," she answers softly, nervously clutching onto her phone case. her solace id is on the back of it and her case is clear and she certainly does not need a stranger knowing anything else about her.

@w. yukhei i listen to your response about me doing so damn much which makes me chuckle along with you. "Yesh love, don't ever do what i am doing because it's so much to do. Ah that is very understandable but you do deserve that ice cream as well just saying." I wink at you before i go through my over the shoulder purse before taking out two wrapped plastic spoons and forks each with a napkin. "Whenever i go to a restaurant that gives me those wrapped cutlery sets, i always ask for a extra aha i know it's weird." i chuckled as i walk towards the bench before sitting down.

@e. perrie my ears listen to your carefully places words, taking in the information. i gave you a succeeding nod, exhaling out of my parted lips as to mention the amount of time dedicated to all of your work and clubs, "wow, i can see why you would seem to be stressed about that. i don't think i could even handle something like that," my chuckle afterward took a slightly battered and nervous tone, but i still responded adequately, "well, yeah. it is pretty damn good. i have schoolwork and stuff, but i mean a lot of my stress kind of... builds up? and i guess it just needs an outlet. so ice cream it is." i watch as you gesture us toward the seating spot, "oh a bench? sounds good. but i dont think i have a spoon or anything to eat the ice cream with," the words accompany a slight disheveled shake of the head.

@k. nahee Tiffany was more than happy to stroll the nightmarket, the last she went had been such a long time ago with her father. She heaved a deep sigh as she could already begin to feel the swirling whirlwind of emotions that consumed her whenever her father was mentioned. Nevertheless she was easily distracted by the sight of dukbokki and made her way over to the food stand with a smile, within minutes she could hardly remember what made her upset before.

It was about an hour later with two bags on each of arms that Tiffany finally decided maybe it was time to call it a night. At a leisure pace she continued to stroll around the market as she had nowhere better to me and it wasn't like anyone was waiting for her back home. It was in passing one of the clothing stalls that Tiffany thought she saw a familiar face, however she didn't dwell on it and continued on. It wasn't until she had reached her car that she saw the same figure, she couldn't quite make out her expression but it was clear that the other was distressed. Of course Tiffany wouldn't be Tiffany if she just left. It took a moment of hesitation but then she turned around with a determined step in her stride as she approached the female, a million terrible scenarios running through her mind as she got closer. "Hello? Is something wrong, I-I know we don't know each other but you just seem so worried and I....I just wanted to know if I could help." Her voice grew softer as she trailed off, realizing how moronic she might seem to a total stranger. But would could you do. It's not like she could or would take it back.

@w. yukhei hums in delight when you agree to my words, being very hopeful that we will indeed become close friends in no time. i continue to walk beside you, listening to your question before i look up at you. "oh love, it was a stressful week for me all because of two jobs, classes, and clubs. i got the ice cream because it always comforts me when it comes to days like these." i chuckle with a nod. "how about you though? you don't seem stressed at all but you just wanted this ice cream because it's so damn good right? oo let's sit over there, eat our ice cream, and get to know each other hm? if you want to that is?" i'm still grinning while i point at the bench that is almost near us.

@e. perrie my tiers parted into more laughter as you spoke, nodding lightly to acknowledge the straightforwardness of your response, "i gotcha," our strides lead us toward the exit, where the automatic doors slid in their horizontal mobility to the side for us. the small store was only one of the many that were spread across the night market. the traffic of people was exceptionally high. "and a pleasure as well, perrie. i'm sure we'll definitely carry happy memories with us today." a small grin peeked among the crowds, we kept walking, longing for small talk to fill in the silence. my head turned toward you to be more curious as to why yourself was found in such a store, "have you had a long day as well? that's usually my reason for getting this ice cream."

@k. doyeon looking around the street, myeongji was sure she had to the right corner, all she needed to do was identify where doyeon was. when she heard her name being called out, she immediately twisted her body towards the sound, a smile spreading on her face. raising her hand up in a wave to make sure doyeon knew she heard her, she started making her way over. when she finally made her way in front of doyeon, she hummed softly "hello again... are you ready to feed your sweet tooth again tonight?"

@k. myeongji doyeon cradled the mobile device to her chest as she waited by the food truck for her lovely new acquaintance, myeongji. the owners made conversation with her to put her at ease due to the overwhelming nightlife of which seoul had to offer. although she had fun at the nightclub, it was too crowded for her taste and she was more than content to get a breath of fresh air. glancing at her phone again, she smiled to herself at the little messages myeongji and her exchanged. peering over her shoulder as the conversation died down, the tall girl spotted the shorter one in comparison. "myeongji over here!" doyeon beckoned her.

@k. doyeon myeongji walked through the streets with a small smile, entranced by all the bright lights and sweet smells of the night market. taking a turn, she made her way towards where the man before had pointed and told her where the waffles were. she was excited to get out of the club and feed her sweet tooth, and more excited to meet up with doyeon - despite the embarrassing snap story she made of her.

@w. yukhei "aha but i already cause a problem for you by yelling at you and me being the reason we getting kicked out. "i chuckle and nods, waving at the cashier as a greet as they ring up the ice cream. "but you had good manners but unlike me, i didn't care about the customers." i smile in amusement before thanking the cashier then walking beside you as we head towards the exit to outside. "whatta unique name by the way. it's a big pleasure to meet you yukhei, i am perrie! aha it's a weird way for us of how we met but it will always be as good but funny memories we cherish together." i nudge you a lil with a big grin upon my lips.

@e. perrie i smiled once more, heading over to the registers with turning my head to allot some attention to you in conversation. "of course, it's no problem, really. i just think that if we fought, it would only cause more problems," i slid the tub of ice cream over the person manning the register. the pads of my fingers became acquainted with the material of my wallet, folding it outwards to begin paying, "plus it would've been discourteous toward the other customers too. i would've kicked us out too..." my lips erupted a most intrusive string of chuckles. i checked us out, waving off the need for a bag since we'd be sharing it anyways. i continued our casual back-and-forth as we headed toward the exit, "ah yes, my name. it's yukhei. wong yukhei. and yours?"

@w. yukhei "I forgive you for that but i shouldn't yelled at you when all you been is kind and calm to me." I said as i nod, looking at this boy who hasn't yelled or got an atittude with me and wow i wanted to be his friend..if he wanted to be friends with this crazy bish. i noticed his actions before i start walking beside him, listening to his words about his plan on how to buy the ice cream before nodding. "Alright then, that sounds like a good plan. Aha it's take another month so it'll take awhile. You're really kind you know that? Thank you for accepting my apology, love." i smiled up at him while standing beside him as we wait for our turn for the register. "If you don't mind me asking, what's your name? I swear i'm not a creep or a stalker aha." i chuckled as i shake my head.

@e. perrie listening to your words of guilt and apology, i let out an exhale of breath to make the situation easier to digest. of course, i immediately shook my head, dismissing any sort of blame from your side, "no need to apologize. like i said, i should've been more aware of my surroundings." the tub still lay cold and relaxed in my hands, the imprint of my fingertips leaving trails in the thin frost. i then gestured us to the front toward the check-out area, "how about this: we can split the cost of it to make it all the more even. does that sound good? and of course i still want to share; it's only fair since i'm not sure when they'll restock on this ice cream." with the initiative, my steps carried me toward the front register, seeing if you would tag along.
