ariavld​:

Jooae couldn’t help but grimace guiltily as she watched Hyunsik try to clean himself off. “I’d offer you one of my tee shirts from my bag, but I think it would be a little too tight on you,” she joked. She knew he wasn’t one to get too upset over such things, but it didn’t stop her from feeling bad about it. 

When he questioned her comment, a small (but still a little cheesy) grin appeared on her face. “I was breaking my diet. If anybody asks, you saw nothing. My sweet tooth comes out when I’m stressed which, admittedly, isn’t great. But once ice cream one in a while won’t hurt anything…” Was she trying to convince him or herself? She wasn’t entirely sure. “As for you… I’m not sure. Maybe the universe didn’t like your shirt.” Her teasing smile returned a little stronger than before.

“I can’t wait to see what all you’ve been working on,” she then replied. “Me? We have comeback and kcon all happening at once so it’s lots of practice, lots of meetings, you know how it is. I’m supposed to be doing a live in an hour but I had a few minutes off so I thought I’d capitalize on it.”

The joke that came from Jooae caused laughter to bubble up from Hyunsik’s core, the pleasant sound coming out likely a little too loudly, especially more than was intended. It was a funny image, is all. Imagining Hyunsik is one if little Jooae’s shirts. Even if it was oversized, it wouldn’t fit at all. “I think I might return it looking like a bed sheet, or a tent,” he continued, soft chuckles still escaping from him as he spoke.

“There’s nothing wrong with having sweets once in a while. It can help with stress,” he offered with a small, one armed shrug, his smile never wavering as he spoke. Hyunsik knew too well how much food could affect a mood. While he tried not to let his diets affect him, sometimes he may become a little shorter with his members than he’d care to admit. “If you’ve worked hard, you deserve it.”

Hearing about her plans, he wished it were him, having missed out on K-Con in Japan, and now in the states as well. On the down low, he simply missed performing. “Oh so you’ll be flying to LA, then?”

vldmoonsan​:

a nod of understanding and a silent promise to himself not to pry any further, the time frame presented slightly putting out the sparks bursting out of the younger. sangwook was of curious nature, however, once senses kicked in the young man knew better to stop. he learned how to press on the breaks after nearly ruining friendships that ran deep because of too many questions on topics others did not want to unwrap. and even though hyunsik and sangwook were not on as close of terms, legion’s leader would rather not step over any lines set. “fine, fine. i guess i’ll hold back my questions until it’s out,” a promise to come back to the conversation, much to any dismay that might have been held.

“oh that’s nice,“ a chipper giggle passed his lips, eye-smile and two rows of pearly whites coming into full view. “thank you! though, there’s not much that can be done at this point. i think i spammed our manager into temporarily blocking my number.“ he appreciated what seemed to be a genuine offer to help. perhaps had there been many options, moonsan would have even selfishly accepted the offer. “i’ll just plan an anguish when the manager comes over. that’s actually what i was headed to do just now. food, however, does sound much more appealing,“ usually when comebacks were around the corner, practice occupied most of sangwook’s brain capacity to a point food was forgotten unless someone actually put it in front on his nose. somewhere close enough for him to process that he needed food to survive. “did you think of ordering or going out? or are you craving cafeteria food? i’d gladly join you.” peeking at the screen of his phone, sangwook set aside a timer in his mind, starting the countdown to when he would he absolutely needed to get back into the studio.

It was kind of exciting, having someone in front of him who was eager to see what Hyunsik was going to come out with. As much as maybe he didn’t have confidence yet in what he was putting into his solo work, that doesn’t necessarily mean others won’t like it, or be proud of him for it. Everyone has to start somewhere, and for Hyunsik his album Greed is just it. The only way he can go from there is forward, and if the feedback about the album isn’t what the company wants it to be, then they can change it for next time. Maybe, Hyunsik is hoping just a little bit that maybe the feedback isn’t as positive as they’d hope. Only so he might have some more creative control for the next one. If there’s a next one. “I promise to answer all of them,” the older assured Sangwook, still smiling brightly, regardless of his internal thoughts. “For now, it’s my little secret.”

The junior in front of him being happy to join him for a meal was something unexpected, but not unwelcome. For the most part, people usually took Hyunsik;s invitations as sheer politeness, when in reality he just likes spending time with people. The only way to make new friends and connections is to go out of your way to spend time with them, and perhaps a meal could change Hyunsik and Sangwoon’s relationship from work acquaintances, to real friends? Lately, the dancer had felt like he’d been lacking in that department. “I usually settle for cafeteria food, but if you have the time we could walk somewhere? When I arrived this morning I could smell the Japanese restaurant down the street preparing for the day, and I’ve been kind of craving it since.” At the mention of it, his stomach audibly grumbled, causing a laugh to spill from his lips as he rubbed at his tummy. “What do you think?”

[hyunsikvld]

vldyeseul​:

and with the simple sentiment, yeseul’s aware that the boy probably knows her quirks and habits to know she’s not a force of nature meant to be manhandled and subjected to a relationship that keeps her still. yeseul moves, no. darts from place to place without a glance past her shoulders and she thinks it might be an innate reaction to being stagnant. “you’d be shocked, hyunsik. there are many things you don’t know about me — i could prove you wrong at anytime,” she counters, leaning her back against the wall as her hands would adjust the mangled strands into a loose bun. 

the thought of something as mediocre as a love story found through internet matching comes as a funny image, one that forces her arms across her chest. “of course — isn’t that anyone dreams of being? a boring motherly figure who does no harm, and loves on all the children she has. i know i’d enjoy living a life of monotony.” it paints itself sarcastic the way she speaks through low hums and subtle shakes of her head. but the stoic expression shatters the second hyunsik’s suggestion converges inward, leaving a burst of laughter exude from her lips. “you’re funny — hyunsik. sure, let’s both join tinder, but before we do  — what do you really want? i made a goal for you, but let’s hear your goal for yourself.”

There was this way that Yeseul always managed to speak to Hyunsik, a way that made him really think. In his life there hadn’t been many people ( aside from his brother on the odd occasion ) that had tried to force the idol to think for himself. Not in a way where he relied on others to tell him what to do or where to go, but more to think about what he wants out of his own life. Mostly, he was used to worrying about others, wanting to ensure that they’re happy and healthy. Very rarely did he stop to worry about whether or not he was happy and healthy. Would a relationship do that for him?

“You should.” He spoke suddenly, eyes still shamelessly watching the woman as she tied back her hair. “Prove me wrong, I mean.” It sounded almost like a challenge, one Hyunsik hoped the woman would take up. Still, he couldn’t help laughing at the sarcasm that dripped from her lips. In a way, he always thought it was kind of cute. Tilting his head, he chewed on his cheek as she continued speaking. “Honestly? I dunno.” Really, the answer was very honest. Likely more honest than he would usually find himself with a hook up or a fling. “You first.”

[hyunsikvld]

vldjiyeon​:

jiyeon watched hyunsik’s reaction to her comment about her experiences at summit media. she knew she probably shared too much without disclosing any valuable information, but it was already said. nothing could really be done about it anymore, but at least she knew that hyunsik still somewhat cared and didn’t brush it off like a part of her assumed. just knowing that fact was enough for the singer. she should’ve known better than to assume the older would do something like that. if she still had any idea to who he was, it wasn’t something he would do.

“yeah, but there’s no need for that. i’m fine.” she knew he meant well, but it’s been months since she last talked to him about what was going on in her life. jiyeon was used to taking care of her problems without others helping her again, and she wasn’t looking to change that anytime soon. “i’ll remember that if i need someone to talk to, so don’t worry.”

as much as jiyeon didn’t want to make the encounter awkward, she was already closing herself off. it was a moment where she didn’t know exactly what to do. “dance the night away wasn’t too bad, so there were obviously no complaints from me.” she picked up her speed again as she cleared her mind. she raised an eyebrow at the mention of mon:star being busier in the upcoming weeks, curious of what it would be for. “oh? i’ll keep an eye out then. i’m sure whatever it is, it’ll be great.”

Hyunsik knew the harsh reality better than most. That idol life isn’t always as fun and glamorous as it seems. Ever since his own groups scandal all those years ago, they’d never really returned to what could be considered normal. Their schedules were all over the place, and the company seemed more interested in splitting them up into units and solos than actually promoting them as a group. While he liked to hope his group was a special case, and that things like this don’t happen to everyone, hearing the words come from Jiyeon confirmed the worst.

Truthfully, as much as he knew it would be awkward, he hoped that his ex would consider him if she needed to talk to someone. They knew a lot more about each other than many others in the industry, and he knew it could be hard to find people to talk to that either judge, or take things the wrong way. “Do you still have my number?” He questioned, fingers cracking at his knuckles nervously, as he asked with with a raise to his brow.

Nodding, Hyunsik had to hide the way his body involuntarily tried to force his lips into a smile. While Greed wasn’t exactly the dream solo debut he’d always imagined, it was something that was his. The spotlight only on him for a period of time. He couldn’t help being excited. As they’d continued walking slowly, they finally made it to the elevator to go down. “I hope you like it.”

[hyunsikvld]

seyongvld​:

for someone who’d been a functioning adult for a near decade now, seyong had miraculously gotten away with years of utter laziness. a lack of any conscience and general disarray of lifestyle meant he could ignore the fact he had no muscle mass and wandering around as a hollow shell of his old self. 

playing ice hockey had meant intense conditioning and exercise all the time. it was addictive, to an extent - always being in control of his body. he knew what he could and couldn’t do in order to perform his best both mentally and physically; such a mindset had long abandoned him by now. 

after this quick decline in general health and mindset, he had a penchant for needing others to force action on him. exercise was one of those things. frankly, he didn’t want to hear ‘you need to start smaller’. he wanted hyunsik to look him square in the eyes with a look of utter wrath and say ‘i know you can do more.’ 

anything motivational would do at this point. 

“fine, fine… but i’m not changing it. navigating the weights here is ridiculous.” he was also lazy and had no intention of making this an enjoyable experience. subconsciously, he did that often. tried to turn people off his company. reaching for his water bottle, seyong ignores the train of thought.

After spending so much of his time in the gym, being coached by so many people that had likely spent more time there already than he ever would in his life, there had been some surprising things that the idol had learned over the years. One of the main things, is that more weight doesn’t equal more strength. It was something that took a while to sink in, especially since it was an attitude that had been instilled in him for longer than he could remember. High school, perhaps. But only when he’d overcome that hurdle was when he actually started to see real results, and enjoy the gym.

Hopefully, he would be able to convince his friend of this fact. If he doesn’t then all Seyong is going to do is end up sore, unable to move, and hating the gym. Which is the last thing he wants for his friend.

“What’s the point if you can only lift the weight two or three times? Wouldn’t you rather lift a lighter weight lots of times? You’ll actually get a work out then,” Hyunsik tried to assure his friend, taking a step back and adjusting the snap back that was sat on top of his head, acting as somewhat of a sweatband. “I can change it for you, I don’t mind. I just want you to be comfortable.” He knew that his words may not be helping, but he hoped flashing a reassuring smile towards his companion would.

vldyeseul​:

she drops the cover swaddled around her body, figuring the familiarity of hyunsik serves no purpose for faux puritan roles. instead, she gets out of bed letting the slivers of sun kiss her skin. “people use tinder for a lot of things — i know people that use tinder for friendship,” yeseul points out, slipping into a random t-shirt hung over the bed. “some people use it and end up finding their marriage partners — that could be you someday.” it’s a suggestion that’d leave her berated by his manager and choi kiwoong himself had hyunsik found himself embittered by another scandal, but this talk to her is surface-level and she can only hope that none of the words are taken to heart.

“you don’t think so?” she turns on her toes, a gaze that meets his dead-on with an arch of her brow. “i’m offended.” it’s exasperation — a bad attempt at acting leaving her mouth agape. however, son yeseul knows better than anyone she’s not destined for marriage nor is she a woman meant to be strung to something so permanent. “i haven’t told you? my goal is to have a shotgun wedding by the end of 2020. a baby in my belly and a guilty husband to match — if i’m on that path, i’m going to need to find you a nice little girly before i can embark on my mission.”

With the way the woman began to wander around the room, Hyunsik couldn’t help the way he sits up with the motion, moving to allow himself a better position to simply watch. Over the years there had been hours spent between them, but he still found himself drawn to Yeseul. He didn’t think he could ever become bored of her. “I guess it’s not that I don’t think you could, I just wouldn’t think you’d want to.” There was still a sheet that covered the lower half of Hyunsik’s body, draped lazily over his lap. Although really it left nothing to the imagination, not that the SNC manager needed to imagine anything.

If Hyunsik didn’t know the woman better, he’d think she was serious. Perhaps she’d missed a career opportunity. He didn’t think it would be too late for her to be cast in some dramas if she realy wanted it. There was a harshness to her that was still a little coy, and some would call it almost flirtatious. Running a hand over the back of his neck, he couldn’t stop the way he chuckled out at the comment. Coming from her, it was funny. “Really?” He had to ask, although he was sure she was mostly joking. But, with women you never really know. Hyunsik had been burned for making assumptions about women too many times in his life before, and he wasn’t going to pick up that habit again now. “What if we both join tinder? Make it a race to see who can get what they want first.” Really though, what did Hyunsik want?

vldkiki​:

kiki couldn’t help but return the smile made in his direction, only wanting to be a good guest for his senior. he didn’t want to intrude nor be rude, especially when hyunsik had gone out of his way to invite the trainee over because he knew he was feeling overwhelmed by the number of people at his company. hyunsik was a good person, better than most — and kiki made a mental note to tell him that at some point. 

“okay, if you’re sure.” he hesitated again before going towards where he’d seen the games and picking the first title he recognized — street fighter. it wasn’t a game he’d ever been particularly good at, but it was one he knew all the commands to and wouldn’t make too much of a fool of himself. taking it out of the box and doing his best to set it up as quickly as possible, he settled on the couch just as hyunsik returned with his findings. “yeah, i did.” he assured the other with a grin. “you could’ve asked for help, you know. just cause you could probably bench press me doesn’t mean you have to carry everything by yourself.” he laughed and shook his head, glancing over all the snacks that were placed in front of them. waiting until hyunsik had settled, he handed the other a controller with a grin. “let’s see just how bad we both are, hyung.”

Sitting down with his friend, the older idol began to put everything on the table for them to choose from, the snacks easy to pick at before filling two glasses with the soft drink he’d brought over. “Let me know if you want a glass of water or anything too,” he tried to remind Kiki with a soft smile, humming out as he finally looked up to see that he had begun to set up Street Fighter. It was a game that the dancer hadn’t played for a long time, but he was sure the muscle memory would come to him when it was time to play against the trainee.

Taking the controller that was offered to him, the man settled back into the couch that was his, waiting for the game to finish loading up so they could pick their characters and their map. Not that the map really made a different, it was just pretty. “Why’d you pick Street Fighter, do you play this game much?” He questioned, locking in his own character before picking one of the peperos out of their pack and popping it into his mouth, chewing on it and sucking it into his mouth while he waited for the game to start. “I don’t think I’ve played in... I don’t know how long. Could be years. But, I think I could still beat you.” The tone was teasing, cheeky smile still obvious.

[hyunsikvld]

vldmoonsan​:

sangwook played into suspicions further, ears perking up at the confirmation from hyunsik himself that he was working on a project on his own. “oh, is this your way of saying it’s a bit lonely in the studio? you can come ‘round if it gets too quiet. we’re not mon:star, but we do have a lot of volume to spare.” making an ordeal out of a single word mentioned could have been classified as a talent on it’s own accord, the very corners of sangwook’s mouth staying twirled in a way that told he was delighted to catch up to the situation. even if the offer seemed to come more from the leader of the junior group rather than an actual friend.

slightly furrowed brows and a hand moving in a dismissing manner could have almost entailed that the younger was profusely rejecting the idea that information was held back from him. it would not have been the first time sangwook refused a no for an answer, driven by his nosy nature. “i get it, i get it, every click counts,” however, the melodic hum that followed proved to be too playful to be serious.“i guess i’ll just have to wait like the rest of the mortals and try not to hack into the cloud to see what’s up.” deities know he would just to selflessly satisfy his curiosity. fortunately the younger still nurtured enough sensibility and respect for him to actually do so, leaving his words nothing but a joke. “so how much longer is it gonna be until we find out what’s going on?” being denied of details did not stop moonsan from continuing his little investigation into the origins of hyunsik’s frequented presence around atlas records. almost hesitant to answer the question he received before getting at least a crumb of an answer himself. “well, yea..” his smile dropped slightly, index finger coming up to scratch along his brow. “we’re working on it. i was hoping to get my hands on a proper comeback schedule but our manager is ignoring my texts.” he paused for a second to purse his lips. “a very me problem, isn’t it?” at least he was self aware.

It was a special talent of Hyunsik’s to not take things personally, perhaps missing underlying hints of bitterness and harsh tones spoken towards him. It had served him well over the years, it meant there were no hard feelings between him and those that may be pushing unwarranted hints of jealousy towards him and his group ( not that it would likely happen now ), but it meant that phrases that could be easily misconstrued as rude by others could completely go over his head, the man none the wiser. While there may be other seniors that perhaps would be insulted by the way a junior group invited him into their studio because they thought he could be lonely, it was only seen as kind gesture in the dancer’s eyes.

“Only a few weeks, you won’t need to wait for too long, I promise you don’t need to hack into anything. It’s close.” There was a content sigh that escaped his nose when he was done speaking, bright smile presented across his features, dimple protruding in the soft skin of the mon:star member’s cheek. Although he had to admit he didn’t know enough about the younger to be aware of whether or not he actually could hack just to fulfil a curiosity. Satisfy an itch to be in the know so to speak. Titling his head he continued to listen to Moonsan speak, knowing all to well just how difficult it could be to have schedules and times confirmed with the company. Once you had a schedule in your hands, it was usually all hands on deck and time to go. There was no room to be lazy or slack. “Just because it’s a you problem doesn’t mean it’s not a problem. Do you think there’s anything I could do to help?” Unless that thing is tracking Legion’s manager down himself and taking the schedule from him, it’s likely there wasn’t. “Hey, where uh, where were you headed? Have you eaten yet?”

[hyunsikvld]

vldyeseul​:

to say hyunsik’s a body to fulfill a hedonistic goal would be written off as a pretty lie, considering he’s one of the few she keeps in her circle — a friend, yeseul knows him to be. and sitting in the back, observing each scandal and downfall leaves her with the ounce of hope that perhaps someday, he’d settle and find the happiness she knew him to deserve. a stable relationship, one built on love and adoration was what she wanted him to find — for this proposition, she’d serve as the best wingwoman. 

“of course i don’t use tinder, are you crazy?” a burst of laughter leaves her lips, and humored enlightenment peels her gaze away from the screen of her phone and back onto him. “i stand still at a bar, and men come to me — it’s the perks of being a normal person, not an idol.” it’s subtle bragging, knowing that anonymity behind her name gives her a layer of luxury that idols get stripped away the moment they sign onto a company. “too busy with what? i don’t think i saw monstar’s schedule have a comeback in the next month. besides, i can help manage your account — i already thought of a good slogan. ‘hi i’m famous, match me.’” her tone becomes lighter with the hint of a grin and a dismissive wave of her hand. “i’m good — i don’t need your help right now. what are you gonna do when i get myself hitched or in a fun relationship? just fuels the agenda to get you a girlfriend before 2020 ends.” 

The man couldn’t help blinking at Yeseul’s response to being asked if she used tinder. She did have a point though, she was a pretty woman -- one with an aura of confidence about her -- which automatically made her effortlessly sexy. All she had to do is breathe and men would flock towards her. Saying it hadn’t worked on him would be hypocritical, seeing as he was currently sharing a dishevelled bed with her. Part of their romantic affairs was due to the air of familiarity around them, both knowing the other person was safe to be vulnerable with. The other part was purely physical, based on looks and attraction alone.

Still, that didn’t mean Hyunsik was eager to try out tinder anytime soon.

“Don’t people mostly use tinder for sex anyway?” He questioned cautiously, arms still folded beneath his head as he looked over at his companion. Perhaps, he was trying to change the subject a little, not wanting to talk about exactly what made him too busy for it at the moment. Even if he wanted to. Surely she’d find out soon enough anyway. “You? Planning on getting hitched or in a relationship before 2020 is over? I don’t think so.” Chuckling, Hyunsik shook his head as he turned to look up at the ceiling again, sighing out of his nose. “Not that I don’t think you could, but...”

[hyunsikvld]

vldmoonsan​:

atlas records hq august 2020, with @hyunsikvld​

the main objective moonsan raised for the day was to talk his way into obtaining a preliminary schedule for september. all from the staff meetings to legion cooping up in practice rooms or recording studios seemed to be foreshadowing a busy month. the busier they got, the more planning the youngest had to do on his own accord, resting and setting early bed time on the days before any scheduled health check ups. one might call that cheating, san called it working smarter, not harder. such ideology consequently had legion’s leader excusing himself out of the dance practice to track down their manager after texts were left unanswered. however, the presence he met once the elevator dinged was not the one he expected, completely distracting the conspirer from getting in the elevator. “oh, hello there!” moonsan spoke up having tilted his head akin to a curious puppy examining something new.

“i feel like we’ve made eye contact in passing every day this week. i can’t remember the last time i saw you around the company this much. what a nice change of scenery,” voice loud and full of energy, yet there should have been something inherently distasteful about the genuineness in his jolly tone and the dimple showcased as he beamed right at hyunsik. “what have you been up to here these days? and don’t tell me it’s a secret.” at a point in time, the younger was highly active in hyunsik’s life until he mindlessly cut all contact right after the mon:star scandal aftershocks hit legion. should anyone ever asked about it, moonsan might be able to pin point the moment, the incidents somewhat forgotten by the general public but not by his health. which is not so day he’d be proud to admit it, pinning all that happened and the way it was handled on the senior group members a little unfair. nevertheless, it was only a part of the reasoning, – cutting people he once was overly-invested in off and subsequently acting like nothing happened might just be the ugliest part of his daily routine. “or is it a secret that everyone is aware but not me? i’ve been living in the practice room, kinda reminds me of our trainee days.” curiosity might have been the only reason san continued speaking, the young man stepping aside and completely forgetting about his original intent.

With his solo debut drawing closer and closer, Hyunsik had been spending more time within the walls of the Atlas building than usual for a member of mon:star. Sure, usually they were around semi often for one thing for another, but in terms of real, dedicated practice for a comeback? Those days spent in dance studios were few and far between within the last few years. If there was a member who was frequenting often, something was bound to be happening. Which, one Seo Sangwook seemed to have noticed. For reasons the mon:star dancer wasn’t really aware of, the Legion member didn’t seem to want much to do with them as a group through the previous years. But, as the younger of the two began to speak, Hyunsik was pleased nonetheless to strike up a conversation with his junior.

The other’s tone and energy could only be matched by Hyunsik’s own as he spoke, an immediate smile drawing across his lips with the excitement he was receiving. “You know, it really has been. I don’t think I’ve had this much time alone in the studio... Ever.” The man commented with a bright expression, free hand running through his already messy hair as his other arm held onto the duffel bag that had been swung over his shoulder. Truthfully, Hyunsik did want to keep what he’d been working on a secret, not to provoke hushed whispers of people excitedly guessing at what he was creating, but mostly because he wasn’t confident in what he and the company had put together for him to debut with. Only time would tell. “Ah, I wish I could say, I really do.” He didn’t. “But that makes it exciting, right?” All he could offer was a shrug of his shoulders, sunny expression unable to falter regardless. “You too? Does that mean I need to get ready for a Legion comeback?”

vldkiki​:

having been a fan of mon:star for so long, sometimes it still felt surreal when he got to spend time with hyunsik on his own — it felt like a privilege to see a different side of the idol, to see him as a real person, just like a friend would. of course, they were friends but sometimes, in kiki’s head, the sixteen year old he’d once been still screamed every time he remembered that fact. still, he was glad to have a friend like hyunsik, someone kind and sweet who allowed him into his home just because he knew kiki was having a rough time with the summit media idols that he was now sharing a building with.

hyunsik’s admission only made kiki laugh softly, shedding the bit of nervousness he’d felt when he’d walked in. sometimes, he still struggled with making new friends, especially when it was more than a cordial relationship. “are you sure you don’t need help?” he asked, unsure of what he should be doing. it was often that he was a house guest and, when he was, it was usually at the kostion dorm, where he was more than aware were everything was. “i know you’re strong and all, but you don’t have to carry everything yourself.”

.

The offer from the young trainee to help him with the snacks and the drinks caused a smile to appear across Hyunsik’s features, one that expressed fondness towards Kiki. It was almost as if everything the younger did caused the dancer to smile. Even before Jeju Island he had felt a similar way towards the guest who was now in his house, but the trip had only helped to bring them closer. Shaking his head, he brought his hands up to shake those too, chuckling slightly before he spoke.

“No no, you’re a guest. You can pick out a game to play while I get some things. I won’t take long.” Really he wouldn’t. There were a few bottles of soft drink he could bring over, and some packaged snacks. Kkokkalcorn, pepero, shrimp chips, and if they wanted something else sweet he might have some chocopies he had been planning to save for a special occasion. Entertaining a guest was definitely a special occasion in it’s self. Holding everything he could in his arms, along with two glasses for their drinks, he joined Kiki where his television was set up. “Did you find everything okay?”
