@Park Jimin That's good.
//nods slightly, frowning a little/
Yes, I realize that the app isn't as popular as we anticipated.
As long as you're able to find someone you like, even with limited choices, it will be worth it, though!
//chuckles a little/
No, I'm not currently with anyone right now.
I haven't been using the app to find someone, either.
//scratches the back of my head/
Though, I probably should.
//laughs a little/
I haven't had much luck finding someone special in person.
@Kim Taehyung Oh, right.
-somehow the fact that this was a gathering for people on the app seemed to have slipped my mind, and i take a glance around to see if i can spot the only person i've gone on a date with so far.-
Uhm, I think it's been going well.
There's not a lot of choices, but I'm talking to a guy right now.
-looks back at you after giving up on finding the man. unlike you, with your red hair that stands out in a crowd, he's not very easy to spot, apparently (if he's even here at all)-
What about you? Or do you already have someone?
I don't want to assume you made the app to meet someone.
-tries to laugh off the awkwardness of my questions-
@Kim Yugyeom *chuckles lightly, picking up and cradling the vase in her arms to keep from dropping it*
I get that; I'm pretty sure I have at least three of his things already in my apartment.
They're so pretty, it's hard to just stop at one
@Yagi Arisa *after seeing the contents inside of the tent, my eyes widened seeing how amazing the sculptures looked; taking note of the vase Risa pointed out*
That is very nice looking!
*nods in agreement, walking over to a few different pieces examining them*
Everything looks so good, I don't know if I can choose.
*chuckles lightly*
@Park Jimin //chuckles a little and nods/
I know. We met on the app, remember?
Sorry if this sounds intrusive, but it's important for me to know this as the co-founder of alrighteros.
Have you been finding prospective dates well?
@Kim Taehyung -watches and waits patiently for you to get your shoe on steady yourself. your comment makes me look around and notice that no one’s attention is on us-
Maybe I’m just drawn to strange people.
I’m Jimin.
@Kim Yugyeom Exactly! Beat the crowds and all
*hums in agreement and lets go of you once inside, moving to a porcelain vase decorated with cherry blossoms and birds*
Ooh, this one is really nice! So pretty
*glances around to look for her friend, finding him all the way at the other end of the long tent, before looking at you*
Is there anything that catches your eye? Maybe I can talk him down on price
@Yagi Arisa *chuckles lightly, and nods*
*follows you as you link your arm with mine and tug me in the direction of the tent*
We can get the early look on things before everyone buys it all
*arriving at the tent, seeing the inside of it somewhat before we arrived*
So far his stuff looks good
@Bae Jaewook //nods a little/
I see.
//watches as you tear into your bag of chocolates/
So far I’ve only been on a date with Jimin.
I haven’t made many matches yet.
@Cha Hakyeon *chuckles a little*
Yeah. He's good at that.
I'm not sure, honestly.
I've talked to some people, but I don't know if it's going anywhere.
*scans the snack table for something good to eat*
I'm sure I'll meet someone eventually.
*grabs a bag of chocolate candies and rips into it*
Maybe even two people.
@Bae Jaewook //looks at your hand and looks at you and back to your hand before taking it and shaking it firmly/
Cha Hakyeon.
Likewise.
//crosses my arms over my chest and leans against one of the posts of the snack bar/
So.
Have you had luck finding any dates on this site yet?
Jimin came as quite a surprise to me.
//cuckles a little/
@Bae Jaewook //frowns as someone approaches me, having hoped that I would get by the event without getting disturbed/
Jimin?
//glances over to where he is currently occupied with someone else/
I mean, we went on one date together.
@Cha Hakyeon *spots you, and recognizes you because Jimin had shown me pictures of you*
*walks up to you with a smile on my face*
So. You're the one that's seeing Jimin, right?
@Park Jimin //offers you a tired smile, thankful for the assistance. with your help, I'm able to get my shoe on/
//stands upright and offers a brighter grin/
Hey.
//chuckles at your comment/
So it is, but you seemed to be the only one to notice.
//takes a look around the park at all the other people at the event who are just talking to other people/
@Kim Taehyung -spots you from a mile away, your red hair drawing obvious attention to you. approaches you, giggling like crazy as you struggle to put your shoe on your one bare foot, and holds you steady to help you out a little-
Hey.
-as an act of kindness and familiarity, i offer a small smile-
What a way to make an entrance.
-giggles more, waiting for you to get your shoe on before letting you go-
@Ten Leechaiyakul *I blink once hearing an approaching voice and smile recognizing it immediately*
Yes Ten ... Thank you for coming.
That would actually be really nice. It is the very first time I come here and I don't know my way around.
*i tilt my head with a curious smile*
Is this party for all the people who moved into the town?
//overslept and so now I'm really late. hobbles into the park, which is directly across the street from the apartment I live in, hoping on one foot as I slip a shoe on the other/
@Kim Yugyeom *nods, grinning*
Yeah, he's really good! It's still pretty early too
*links her arm with yours lightly tugging you in thw direction of the tent*
We should! Before everyone catches on and it gets crazy hehe
@Kim Jisoo *after seeing the message that Jisoo was at the entrance of the park, I walk to the main entrance of the park*
*approaches the one girl that is just standing there, clearing my throat lightly*
Jisoo? It's Ten. I'm here as promised.
Would you like me to lead you to the area that we are hosting the event?
*walks slowly switching attention between the directions read out loud on the phone and the noises coming from the street and places around*
I think this could be the place but... Which way to go?
*mumbles softly while trying to catch on any interesting or familiar voice*
@Yagi Arisa *nods lightly with a smile*
Also gives a reason for people to go out on the nice day if they have nothing planned.
*looks over where you are gesturing*
Oh, sculpting? *hums to myself, watching a few people coming out with a few things*
He seems popular, must be good.
Should we take a look together?
@Kim Yugyeom *hums in agreement*
It's a nice day, I guess everyone wanted to take advantage.
*gestures to a nearby canopy tent, the entrance flap tied open with a few people going in and out*
He's a sculptor, trying to sell some things to clear out his workshop a bit
@Yagi Arisa *once the other stands up to greet, Yugyeom smiles brightly*
I'm actually glad that I made it here, it looks interesting.
Seems there are a lot of activities going on in the park this day.
*looks over at you*
So what is your friend doing here?
@Yagi Arisa@Xiao De Jun@Park Jimin@Kim Yugyeom@Kim Taehyung@Kim Sihyun@Jennie Kim@Im Nayeon@Cha Hakyeon@Bae Jaewook [tagging everyone to notify the event is now on going we can all participate when you are ready!]
*standing on the small stage that was put together for the evening, that would later accompany a band that would play for the evening*
Hello everyone!! *speaking into the microphone to get everyone's attention*
Welcome to the first event of alrighteros, a gathering in the park. This is a chance to get to know others in person and maybe make some new friends, or perhaps go home tonight with a new partner *winks at the crowd*
Sorry, bad joke. *clears throat*
Anyway, there is some food over there by the picnic benches with drinks, everything is supported and payed for by us, so don't worry about a thing.
Let's get mingling.
*puts the microphone back on the stand and walks off the stage before the band comes on*
@Kim Yugyeom [it's okay lol, i wasn't expecting any quick turn around. that sounds like a plan!]
*with an admittedly short attention span, her search is interrupted by a couple of frolicking dogs and a small smile settles on her face until her name is called. she blinks in surprised before turning to source and smiling brightly*
Yugyeom, hi!
*she greets, standing up to properly greet you*
Don't worry about it, I said whenever you could make it. I'm glad you got here alright!
