Hyemi: I never said I was!

Lux: No, but you certainly act like it!

Hyemi: I don’t act that way! Deokhye-unnie, do I act motherly?

Deokhye: Hey, I’m staying out of this one.

Hyemi: What do you think, Hansung? Do I act like a mom?

Hansung: *rubbing his eye* Well I, uh-

Hyemi’s feet shuffled slowly as she inched her way towards the front of the line. Despite the fact that she often nagged her friends about eating healthy and getting plenty of sleep, she often didn’t take her own advice and was prone to late nights, early mornings, and almost dangerous amounts of coffee. She didn’t even have to tell the cashier her order, just giving them a nod when they asked if she wanted the usual. After receiving the cup and taking a sip of the hot beverage her so body craved, she took a look around the café for an empty seat. It was quite crowded today, but she did manage to spot a seat in front of a young man who looked about her age. Not one to be afraid of strangers, she quickly approached him. Upon closer inspection he looked somewhat familiar, but she couldn’t quite figure out why just yet. “Excuse me, but is this seat taken?” she asked, gesturing to the seat across from oddly familiar looking male.

Eunha: I can’t just smile because I feel like it?

Nami: If I go outside and all of our mugs are on the front lawn, I'm moving out.

Jitae: What?

Jaehyun: It's how we usually settle issues in The Wildlings.

There was only silence after that. She knew how much shit the other had to go through. Sure, everyone who had chosen the gang life went through a lot. But somehow, Maeying always felt a little more... protective of the other. All she wanted to do was help him, just like she would with her other members. She wanted to make him feel accepted, and for him to accept what has been done. This would take some more time, obviously, but the leader was determined to be there by his side no matter what. If only she could tell him that without sounding too rough. “I’m sorry you still feel like that, Jitae. But you know we’re trying our best, hm? Let’s just focus on our future, something that’ll look brighter, okay? I know it’s hard to forget the past, but acceptance is the first step.”
