@akimoto kozue Nana noticed on some facial expression changing on her friend when she told her about her experience with this thing called humanoid boyfriend. "Maybe I'll really gonna get one," she exclaimed while nodding her head firmly. "Hearing how you told me about them making me... curious. Maybe we can have a double date as well," she didn't know where such idea came out on her head.

Both of them were walking to the nearby park and when Nana saw the cotton candy man, she dragged Kozue along with her. Both of them seemed so excited with this sweets and who wouldn't? "Two cotton candy please," Nana spoke to the man while handing him the money. "Thanks," she said after taking he cotton candy and handed one to her friend. "Let's go sit somewhere." she suggested while walking towards an empty bench. "So tell me, how many humanoid have you purchased until now, Kozue?"

Kozue shook her head and shrugged with still smiling. "The expired date. I even couldn't finish to do oh so many things that I've planned before," she chuckled lightly while keep on walking. "You'll get addicted with those humanoids because they look so real!" Kozue couldn't hide her amazement towards the dolls and talked happily.

She pursed her lips, waiting for the other girl to bring her somewhere. "Cotton candy? Sure thing!" Kozue answered with wide smile and nodded. her steps became faster after Nana mentioned the cotton candy; it was her favorite thing ever.

@akimoto kozue "Got sent back? There must be something wrong with them then," holding her chin, Nana slowly nodded her head. Kozue suggested to her friend to try the humanoid boyfriend and her suggestion caught Nana off guard, "eeh? Hmm.. Well, I don't know I'm just not so sure about it," she admitted shyly while looking at the pebble that Kozue kicked randomly.

Nana's thought wandered somewhere else, thinking about her new friend's words about the humanoid that could feel the empty feeling inside. She didn't completely understand about it. But then Kozue dragged her out of her reverie when she asked about their destination. "Eeh?" Nana looked around confusedly, "hmm where should we go?" She repeated the question to herself. "Hmm, what about cotton candy?" She answered to Kozue.

@im jinah Kozue quickly shook her head with a soft chuckle escaped from her lips. "No, it's not like that. They got sent back to the factory before I could finish what I wanted to do with them," she said while pursing her lips. Her hand shoved into the pocket of her jacket and looked up to the sky. "It was fun actually.. even though they only a humanoid." Kozue said with straight expression. "At least they can fill the empty feeling inside me.." she mumbled softly as she looked down on the street, randomly kicking the pebble off the road. "Go try that thing!" Kozue suddenly said with huge grin on her face.

Kozue was still walking side by side with Nana without knowing where was their destination. She glanced at Nana's side profile and smiled, in fact she really liked to see her face like this. She looked like a doll for her. "Oh Nana, where are we going now?"

@akimoto kozue Having her new friend telling Nana about the Boyfriend Factory now seemed to make her starting to think about visiting that place, she wanted to know how it felt to have someone who wanted you. But then again, it was just a humanoid, they weren't real. Nana still doubted the fact of unreal thing that would satisfy her.

"Didn't go well?" Nana carefully asked when the words entered her brain. "What do you mean? did you guys fight or did he harm you?"

Nana had no experience with the humanoid boyfriend so she didn't also really know how to react about that.

@im jinah Kozue walked happily with the girl to the balloons. She quickly turned at Nana after listened to her compliment about her name. "Nooo~ you're prettier than me," she said, smiling brightly. Kozue hummed a yes answering to Nana's question. "Yes, I'm a Japanese. I just came to Korea 2 years ago." She said as she slightly nodded and tucked some strands of hair behind her ear.

Both of them had walked to where the balloons are and found nothing there. It was just a balloons seller who was selling lot of balloons for the kids there. She sighed in disapointed because she didn't found any festival there. She looked at the taller girl while pursing her lips. "Hmm.. No festival here. So, what should we do now?" She asked the taller girl while tilting her head a bit, making her long hair fell beside her shoulder.

"You shod try it! I've tried it, twice." She chuckled while showing her fingers in front of Nana with a sly grin. "But it didn't go well," she added as she shrugged, remembering that her times with the previous dolls didn't end well.

@akimoto kozue Nana's smile never disappeared from her face while listening to the girl introducing herself. "So Kozue, what a nice name for a pretty girl," she replied happily, much more happier when Kozue agreed to be her friend. "But wait, are you from Japan? cause your name look like one." Nana asked curiously trying to get to know her new friend better.

Walking happily hand in hand with Kozue, they both walking to find out whether there was a festival or not. If there wasn't any festival then Nana thought about asking her for ice cream later.

"eh? Boyfriend Factory? hmm.. one of my co-worker ever told me about it but I never try to buy it. I mean, I'm planning to buy it but I feel rather hesitant about it." she shrugged by the end of her honest statement. "What about you? Do you have one?"

@im jinah Kozue's smile grew wider when the girl agreed the offer. Looking at her introducing her name, Kozue took her hand and shook it lightly, introducing herself. "I'm Akimoto Kozue. Just call me Kozue. And I'm also 20 years old," she said in happy tone as she knew that they were on the same age. "Mm.. Nice to meet you, Nana! Yes yes let's be friend!" she beamed happily.

Kozue immediately took her hand and lead her to the colorfull baloons on their opposite side of them. Kozue took a glance at her before asked some more questions to her, trying to befriend with her. "Nana, did you ever buy a doll from the boyfriend factory?" She curiously asked while tilted her head a bit. Because if Nana really did, she wanted to know her experiences with the dolls.

It was actually really nice that Nana could talk to nice person like this girl, despite they were stranger to one another. The girl offered her to check on whether there was really a festival or not.
"Of course," Nana said with a wide smile on her face. She then outstretched her right hand, thinking about introducing herself, "My name is Im Jinah, but please call me Nana. And uh, I'm 20 years old," she said while looking at the girl nervously, "I'm just curious whether I should call you eonni or not." she said as polite as possible. "And uumnnh, let's be friend."

Nana never knew before that making friend can be this easy, it was true that she shouldn't be an introvert person. She was promising to herself that later, she would tell this girl, whoever her name, that she was actually her first friend ever.

@im jinah Kozue furrowed her eyebrows and pursed her lips, thinking the answer for the girl's question. "I don't know.." she shrugged and looked back at the balloons again. She quickly turned to the girl again with a thin smile on her face. "Perhaps there's a festival there. Wanna go check for that together?" She offered with happy tone and bright face. "If you don't mind of course," Kozue finished her words.

She realized that the girl was slightly taller than her, and they probably shared the same age or maybe the girl was older than her. Having a companion to check on the event was the best thing instead of just came alone, she thought. She really hoped that the girl accepted her offer earlier.

@akimoto kozue "Aah the balloons," Nana looked up at the colorful balloons she just missed, she didnt know that it was there at the beginning. hearing the girl question, Nana the shook her head while still smiling, "No, you didnt hurt me. don't worry," she reassured.

Nana really shouldn't lock herself inside her apartment, spending more time taking a walk outside wasn't that bad. "Is there any festival or something?" she asked to the girl regarding the balloons, Nana would love to go to the festival.

@im jinah Kozue still bowed her head, afraid for looking at the person. But then she looked at the girl because she was asking a question for her. "Uhm.. I'm fine.. Those colorful balloons attract me," she pointed at the colorful balloons that not far with them. "That's why I walked backward. Sorry," she bowed again.

"Oh, did I hurt you?" She looked at her in worry, observing the taller girl in front of her. Sometimes Kozue was just like this, she got attracted with something easily when she was walking. She often bumped into something/someone and stuffs.

[ no, you're not c: sorry if my reply isn't as long as yours >< ]

@akimoto kozue Nana's eyes were wandering away across the river while she was walking down the pedestrian path. She liked the refreshing air brushed against her skin and seeing how beautiful the river scenery. She wished to herself that she would spend more time here. "Maybe I shouldn't lock myself in my apartment all the time." She talked to herself.

After walking for a while, Nana stopped. Shoving her hands inside her pocket jeans, she stared the calm river while her brain was busy building up another scenario to complete her story draft. She slowly closed her eyes when there's a breezing wind, helping her brain to concentrate more. But then it was interrupted when someone bumped on her.

"Oh, sorry!" That girl, the pretty girl who bumped on Nana earlier kindly bowed to apology to her.

"Nah, that's okay," Nana replied with a wide smile attached on her face. "Are you okay? Why are you walking backward? She asked the girl.


(I'm not Godmooding right? Tbh honest this is the first 3rd pov style RP I joined)

@im jinah It was another lonely day for Kozue after she ended the contract with her previous doll. She was about to order another doll to spend another 1 precious week with her but she just too lazy to walk to the factory. And now she decided to walk around just to feel some fresh air. She forgot when was the last time she went outside the apartment.

She was walkingto random direction with the earphones plugged in to her ears while shoving her hands to the pocket of her jacket. Her random steps brought her to this place, Han river and she smiled seeing the surroundings. She walked backwards because something on her back attracted her but then she bumped to someone. "Oh, sorry!" She bowed in apology to the person, avoiding to get anger from the other.

It was just another quiet day for Nana that she spent alone, she rarely came out from her comfy apartment unless she went to office for discussing about her draft or going for groceries. Nana woke up late, just like usual, hence she would sleep after midnight. Too much caffeine was making her day a bit messed up, she would stay all night long but felt sleepy at noon.

Nana decided to take a walk near the Han river, searching for some fresh air for her mind. she needed to find new idea for her story. Getting writer block was always be every authors' nightmare. Nana never really had a friend, she wished that today she would bump on someone she could talk to.

chanyeol had perked up at that, eyes widening in disbelief at the shorter before him. "what- but noona, i AM going to buy you flowers," he whined, aware that she could very much do that, and possibly take away all his other CFs too. she didn't have to threaten him; he had been planning to buy her flowers anyway! "i'll even let you pick which flowers? you likes lilies, right, noona? i really want that cf." he drawled out jinah's name, eyebrows furrowed together. it was a comical sight, his baritone voice whiny, lower lip jutted out in a pout. "it's going to be a big-_____ bouquet, i promise you. even bigger than the bouquet i got granny park for her birthday," added chanyeol. he was trying rather hard to ignore the somewhat critical looks they received from parents (and their children, but the kids seemed more awestruck than anything) and other strangers walking by. he liked being with jinah, but chanyeol didn't particularly enjoy the attention. the female before him didn't seem all that disturbed, though, so if she's okay with it, then he'd better be okay with it too. she is his favourite noona, after all.

he hums his (kind of unnecessary) assent, completely aware that she's giving him 'that' smile. it was something he'd learned to live with since they were children, a young jinah demanding chanyeol's attention as he started running off to play with other boys his age. she was taller back then, and she'd mastered a smile that made chanyeol submit, and perhaps it stuck with him all throughout the years, despite his being way taller than said female now.

chanyeol breaks out into a coughing fit when jinah tells him the theme of the shoot and what was that about toothfairies and did she just refer to his _____? "noona, oh my god," he chocked out, dropping his hands to cover his crotch. as well endowed as he is (information courtesy of mama park), chanyeol hasn't really done shoots as revealing as lingerie shoots and why was he going to dress up as a tooth fairy? chanyeol will never know. "noona," he calls meekly, staring at the sack. it was vibrating. oh my god. "noona, what's in the sack?"

@park chanyeol "You either buy me flowers today or you're going to lose your new shoes CF," Nana idly threatened as she gently brushed her little ball of sunshine's head with a toothbrush. That threat wasn't exactly empty - she had invested in that company and had a say on what to do with it.
People were throwing them weird looks, one kid was even gawking and muttering 'dinglehopper' (the little mermaid reference), but Nana didn't mind. She enjoyed being seen with her cousin, be it in an embarrassing situation or not. Speaking of being seen with him, she had a surprise. "Channie baby, when I rescheduled some shoots, sort of all of them wanted you to come with me on the next schedule. That's okay with you, right?" She showcased her loveliest smile with an undertone saying 'you don't really have a choice'.
Her eyes trailed off from his hair down to his neck, chest, then crotch (in the most obvious and uncomfortable manner ever). "I wonder if your thingy has gotten bigger. We're going to do a lingerie photoshoot." A small giggle. "Maybe I can peep when you dress up in your tooth fairy costume!" She grinned as she help up the sack she'd been carrying all the time, the vibrating stronger than before.

he tugged at his snapback, cheeks colouring slightly at jinah's statement on his punctuality. "sorry noona," he murmured, a heavy hand rubbing at his nape. ignoring her statement on his attire (a quick "you look quite weird yourself, noona," ready on the tip of his tongue, before he decided against it), he continued on. "the photographer wanted a few more shots than expected... which also explains why i don't have any flowers for you?" the last part was somewhat true. he, more or less, forgot - but if he did remember to get his rather eccentric cousin flowers, he wouldn't have had the time to anyway. he didn't dare mention that he forgot, afraid of receiving an earful from jinah, who seemed to be glaring daggers at him upon coming into contact with his messy, gel-slick hair. "but i'll get you flowers later? or the next time we see each other?" he tried at a small smile for the shorter; anything for jinah - besides, chanyeol was all too eager to please his wonderful noona.

the next thing chanyeol knows, a toothbrush is running through his hair, courtesy of the woman in front of him. he didn't exactly know what jinah was aiming to do with his hair, but he assumed she was trying to brush it to her liking. "um. noona. people are staring. noona." he coughed into his fist as a few incredulous stares flew their way. "nana. noona. jinah noona. we have a reputation to uphold, noona?" he tried, voice whiny and compliant. he didn't stop her, though - a rather fond force stopping him from doing so.

@park chanyeol Hands were over Nana's mouth. They were (in her opinion) hands of solidified cuteness and love: Chanyeol's. She turned around, a smile of pure elation on her face. "Channie baby!" She pecked him on both cheeks before flicking a newly manicured finger on his forehead. "You're pretty late."
There were a lot of things that she should be saying to her cousin, starting from how she managed to escape work to what her sack contained. But first, she needed to complain about his un-spiffy outfit. He didn't look cool at all.
"You look weird. A coat and tie would've looked better. Did you bring noona flowers? Because you've got lots of gifts from noona." She asked as she messed with his hair in attempt to make it look smart. His hair felt sticky and hard- it was like he didn't even try to remove the hairspray applied. She shot him a glare upon realizing this fact.
Her baby boy shouldn't be messy and unkempt. He should maintain his adorable yet y appearance, undercover or not. Digging her sack, she searched for a toothbrush to use as a comb.
There it was. A bright pink toothbrush (powerpuff girls limited edition) went from the doting woman's hands through the unbelieving cousin's hair. Nana really adored this guy.

he'd just finished another photoshoot and chanyeol was well on his way out of the studio. he agreed to meet with his cousin earlier on, her stating that she "desperately missed her baby channie." it wasn't of any surprise to him, really. jinah was clingy, in a rather unconventional sort of way, but chanyeol loved her dearly nonetheless.

of course, they'd meet up by han river. give it to jinah to choose a potential murder scene. he sighed, pulling his snapback down and surveying the area, looking for said cousin. she wasn't so hard to spot; with the help of a few weird glances from passersby, he spotted jinah, dumb face and all.

"oh my god," he mumbled, running over to her as she shouted. nearing her, he did realize she looked sillier than expected, plus the sack of vibrating things chanyeol didn't even want to think about. "noona, noona, shut up, noona," he breathed out, covering with his hands. people were staring - crap, he was celebrity. they were both celebrities, despite jinah's ridiculous get up. "jinah noona, i missed you too, but - but, noona, i didn't reschedule four other photoshoots for you to make noise, please shut up."

Like Santa bringing presents to a nice kid, Nana had a particular dairy costume and a vast collection of crude toys in a sack for her nice cousin, Chanyeol, in a huge sack. In order to make it look prettier, she spray-painted a huge pink heart on it, so as not to scare the passersby.
To the unknowing eye, the actress looked like a street comedian of some sort, if not a funny kidnapper (something was moving/vibrating inside the sack). She wore a pair of glasses that had a plastic nose and mustache attached to it in order not to draw attention as a popular TV icon. Obviously, no one was suspecting her of a celebrity.
She sat beside the river, sack over her shoulder. A glance at her watch: 11:29 AM. Where was that big, lanky idiot? He said he'd go to the Han River (after a lot of nagging from the bossy cousin, Nana). She turned around, scanning the area for any signs of him.
"Chaaannie! You there? Noona misses youu!" She didn't bother if she looked like an idiot. Nobody recognized her. Chanyeol should be going near her any minute, and he'll be known as that idiot who knows the guy with a vibrating sack.

Jiyeon took a step at a time. She doesn't have anything to look forward to other than waiting for her doll to response. The lack of response somehow saddens her. She thought the doll would give her love and attention as what the description on the box said.

@seo joohyun
Sumin took the card and just stared at her back as she walked away. She sighed and shrugged her shoulders, pulling herself up from the pavement. "So much for helping." She muttered under her breath, brushing dust off her skirt and straightening her dress.

@seo joohyun Sumin could feel that she was forcing a smile and felt really bad because maybe the girl was having a really rough time. So, she tugged on the girl's sleeve hoping that she would agree to her plan so that she would feel a lot better and maybe she could help the girl somehow. That would make her heart feel more at ease. She bit her lower lip and gave her a small smile. "Do you want to take a walk with me?"

@seo joohyun Sumin turned and saw that a group of people were gathering and wondered what they were doing. She went closer but kept being pushed back. It was annoying her, but her curiosity wasn’t giving up. But after more than ten times being pushed around she gave up and huffed as she marched away from the noisy crowd. However, she didn’t realize that there was someone walking in her direction because she was looking at the ground but sudden collision disrupted her thoughts and she looked up at the person feeling guilty. “I’m sorry…” She said softly, her voice almost a whisper.

@seo joohyun Sumin looked at her feet as she walked along the Han River, holding on to the strap of her shoulder bag. An icy wind blew and she shivered slightly at the cold touch. She looked at the river, watching in amazement as the lights changed colours , making it look like a wonderful play of the light. The night made it even more beautiful, a soft smile formed on her lips as the lights kept on fascinating her. There was barely anyone there but there were a few people, like her who loved the view at night and liked to avoid the crowd that were there during the day.

@044 - jinyoung "Thanks." Younghee heard him say, causing her smile to grow bigger. "You're very welcome." She nodded.

"You know...I wish people would see you like how you yourself see the Han river. They should see something greatly appreciated -- something exceptionally beautiful." Younghee's cheeks turned a shade of red at his words, her voice caught in at the compliment. "T-thanks Jinyoung.....but such a thing is impossible sadly..." She said sadly, turning and gazing at him. "I'm not greatly appreciated and I'm not exceptionally beautiful."

@044 - jinyoung Younghee smiled from their place on the bridge, nodding at Jinyoung's question. "Sure we can. I've seen it at night a few times when I was little. It was really beautiful." She said with a smile on her face, gazing out at the river.

Sipping on her coffee, she attempted to relax for once, trying not to think of anything but what was going on with her and Jinyoung.

She almost found it.....strange that she had begun opening up to him so quickly. Younghee had never done that with anybody... Perhaps, he was truly different than everyone else she had encountered since she had begun her life on her own.

(ya know what? I'm gonna buy you again for the hell of it /shot)

Minah woke up early and decided to take a stroll around the han river. She was quite unsure if the 'boyfriend' she chose will be delivered at this very day. It's been quite a while since she had someone as a lover or her boyfriend. The last time she had one was very painful yet she managed to endure it but still she can't forget him. She found a bench and sat on it, turning the volume of her ipod in full blast.
