welcome aboard, ALEX YOO, student #21. we are excited to set sail with you ! has anyone told you that you look like rowoon? according to our records, you hail from melbourne, australia, prefer he/him, are cis-male, and are here to study culinary. we also see you received a spot on the ss university because of your money — we won’t tell anyone. during your first few weeks here, other students said you were + charming, + laid back , but also - mysterious. it sounds like you spend most of your time at the fitness center. upon checking your luggage, we noticed you packed chef knives set handed down by his grandfather. hopefully your roommates don’t steal it!

“It’s interesting how we got ourselves into this.” It was even an unlikely image they ever find themselves drinking their sorrows away, being a buddy to another for ranting what mostly makes them the most bitter, or even ugly crying if either one of them has to tell a sad one. “It’s a good thing they’ve got soju here. I thought I’d never get to have it until now. Bring your glass over, and I’ll pour you one.” @sujinfm​

“I can’t believe you’re here. I’ll meet you in a few.” A call that he hadn’t expected in a long time. Talking to his beloved mother; her surprise visits always never cease to amaze him no matter where he had been. After shortly meeting her in a few minutes, bombarded with too many kisses as he’s used to. Without even knowing a few smudges of her lipstick had stuck on his features, he just remember he had to meet Zara to fetch her in her quarters. A knock on the door, scratching his head. “Hey! I’m sorry for being late. Something came up earlier, you just won’t believe what happened.” @faeriepie​

“I just thought it would have been the most favoured choice to eat at this unholy hour, but you’re right if you ever compare it to chopsuey.” He agreed with a smile plastered on his face, slightly shaking his head. “Even though I wanted to keep it spicy this way, It’s also quite thoughtful, you know, if we kept it at mild. Not everyone shares your spice tolerance, apparently.” Fairly grabbing himself a spoonful once more, tasting his own cooking. When he finished up adding a few shrimp as requested by her, he started cleaning and putting away the pans he used. “Just a minor project, and I couldn’t sleep without doing it. You could say I got a bit inspired. How about you?”

“I’m sure she’ll feel just as grateful to have you back though, even if she says the opposite things. It’s in these things they just feel the most selfless, and I think there’s also no harm if you do come back home, taking care of her. Though, it still comes down to you, mate.”

He blinked a few times, processing the information she muttered away earlier. “That’s good to know.” When she ranted about her sister, he responded with a tilt of his head. “Well, she’s your sister after all. You could’ve easily tell her, right? You might want to leave the sugarcoating behind, and maybe she’ll take your word for it. Oh, and what I’m thinking now? Just wondering what to eat later.”

“ Oh God you’re right. That cursed song! Ahh! Now can we turn back time and forget I even asked?”

“Hm, well for all I know you are quite brilliant yourself, so I’m sure with that mind of yours, you could patent and make it sellable at some point.”

“Well, alright. I do hope it fits me though... My proportions are quite different than others.”

“Take it easy, Yuri. Calm down. Breathe at least.” He smiled, amused at the way she’s comedic in her state of panic. “You do. I’m sure you’ve done great with your classes lately, but you also need to relax a little, so you should come with me with mini golf.”

“I guess you’re right.” He smiled at her with a hand scratching at the back of his head. “Me too, honestly. I just happen to wake up early when I’m in an unfamiliar place. And yeah, that’s good that you keep a list. I’m terrible with waiting in line too so I do tweaks a few. Basically we’re here for enjoyment anyway.” He shrugged after uttering. At this point, he had completely forgotten about the awkward air they used to share, especially with the very faint memory of a night they once undressed themselves. “Well, you have a list. Why don’t we follow as planned?”

“ You would’ve been fine without me, although you would have likely gotten potato crisps at this hour, because honestly nothing beats snacking on crisps at this unholy hour.” He starts off, endlessly playful as he has always been with her. When he had heard her feedback, he took in what she said and immediately added a few spices. “Great. I thought so too! Seems we’re two peas in a pod this time.” Shaking his head with a small smile forming against his lips. “Hm, not really. What, you want more? I can add heaps for you then. Let me whip that up quickly.”

“Well, it would be frustrating to leave your man hanging here, so there’s definitely no turning back. What is it?”

“I’m sorry about that, mate. It is quite tough to think about your folks from afar, especially when they aren’t in their current healthy state. Maybe if you could ask Dean Murphy for some leave to fly back home, I think he’ll honor it?”
