Sugar & Spice

“No, no. I’m okay, I swear. I just have something in my eye.” Sniffling in between her sentences, she tried to crack a smile. “It’s just… a piece of glitter or something, I’ll be fine…”

Clearing her throat, Yooyoung slowly attempted to make herself small by huddling down towards the floor. “I totally didn’t,” she stated quickly, suddenly feeling self-conscious about her lie. “Okay fine, it was me! I was starving, I’m sorry! I ate the last doughnut.”

Grabs a white blanket and places it over her head, “Booo, that’s totally a lie! See, look.” Pokes out a hand and wiggles her fingers. “They have hands too,” she laughed as the blanket soon fell to the floor. “For real though…How else would they haunt people by opening doors, knocking things off shelves and making random objects float? Unless they use their mouths?” Continuing to chuckle, she shook her head.

After frantically trying to avoid the insect with sheer terror lingering over her facial expression, Yooyoung exhaled with relief,“What?! Oh thank goodness, I thought it was one of those giant black wasps.” Swatting at the fly, she attempted to get it to get it away from her precious banana milk. “Shoo!”

“Don’t worry, we’re not gonna get caught, so there won’t be any trouble to get into, I promise!” Yooyoung reassured her, trying to think long and hard about how they were possibly going to get out of the mess they were in.

“Oh, I’m ill alright. I’m the /sickest/ ill anyone’s ever gonna get. I completely, totally– really have no idea where I’m going with this, I’m sorry.”

”Solar, my dear! Thank you, unnie. I’m super happy to be here!”

“You have no idea! I’ve needed this badly.” Kindly takes the item and practically slices through the wrapper as she shoved a bite of the nutritious granola bar into her mouth. “Life gets so tiring when your chasing pigeons in the park to pass the time– I mean…practice, dance practice makes me really tired.”

“Come to me, come to me, oh!” Wiggles around with her and turns the music up louder.

“Hmm…out of curiosity…” Yooyoung started, laughing quietly to herself, “If hentai actually were an animal what would it look like?” Thinking deeply for a moment, she seemed heavily lost in thought before her eyes suddenly widened. Leaning back to frantically shake her head, her expression went from curious to utterly horrified. “Never mind, that was a visually bad question! I’m sorry!”

“The only show time tonight is me, cozy pajama’s, maybe some popcorn and a classic movie. I feel so tired, I can hardly stand!” Wobbles back and forth and releases a heavy huff, trying to stay put. “What is it that they say,‘Let’s get this show on the road’? I’m ready! …or not.” Falls on the nearest couch and passes into dreamland.

Lifting a hand to gently curl her fingers around her neck, Yooyoung pursed her lips in a full on pout.”I know, I kn–” she coughed, trying to clear out the irritation. “I think I ate too much spicy ddeokboki and now my throat feels like it’s on fire. Maybe I should hold back on the spicy foods for a little while, yeah?”
