#ilschaeri

boy. had it been a long day. and by long well… seongyi was stuck doing a lot of things he hadn’t wanted to. first off, he wouldn’t have been at the carnival at all if it had been his choice. there were so many other things that he needed to get done. so much research on wendigos waiting in his room at his fishy home. podcasts left unlistened that he hadn’t had the time to catch up on since coming to ilsang because of all the responsibilities he suddenly had.

responsibilities that came with being the new owner if isang wonders…

he wondered if it was too late to change his mind at that point and tell his parents he didn’t want to start over in ilsang anymore. honestly, a boring desk job in the cities might have been the better option… but he supposes… being the owner of isang wonders did allow him a lot more flexibility to do whatever he wanted during a day instead of slaving away to a corporate business that gave no time for their employees.

either way.

the issue at hand here was that as the owner of isang wonders, seongyi was required to present at the carnival to host an amusement stall. not only was he forced to be somewhere he didn’t want to be, he was now also forced to interact with everyone in town that decided to join in the festivities. and it honestly drained him.

so come time for his break and trading off shifts with the other isang wonder part-timers, seongyi made a beeline for the movies. perfect to say that he was still present if the part-timers needed any immediate assistance. but also perfect because he wouldn’t have to interact with anyone and could actually get some peace to himself.

the beginning of spirited away starts and seongyi feels himself relaxing at once. perfect for some calm time considering that out of all the movies that were going to be playing through the week, he thought this one was the most tame. 

and before he realizes it, his eyelids begin falling without much struggle and he falls into a deep sleep faced up, head cushioned with his hands crossed underneath it.

knock, knock. the commute from hailey’s room to chaeri’s was no longer than a minute seeing as they were on opposite ends of the haedodi house’s second floor. with the help of youtube tutorials and hyemi yelling out what not to do with her face, body, and hair, hailey was really getting the hang of the “getting ready” process that the humans were so concerned about. 

“life is a cakewalk when you’re pretty.” she hummed to herself as she rocked back and forth on her heels waiting for the door before her to open.

flattery will get you nowhere, alien. 

hailey rolled her eyes with a small huff. “oh lighten up, little one. you should love yourself more.” she absolutely loved how easy it was to look at herself with the assistance of the human phone. her reflection was always readily available at every given moment!

“chaeri!” she now called out through the door. “i’m ready to leave now!”

i wish those movies you binged all night taught you some manners. everyone must think that i am so rude!

“maybe that’s because you are?” 

how dare— ! 

knock, knock, knock~!
