* annoyance w. @cherrylgc ,

rowon stares at the list. the list, aptly titled ways to annoy boyeon, stares back at him—blank. for the past several minutes, he’s been twirling his pen, brow furrowed, trying to think of adlibs that could bring kijoon’s playful dynamic with boyeon to life. so far, he’s got nothing. “let’s try the paperwork scene again.” maybe getting into character would help. rowon sets his notepad and pen down, grabs his nearly empty iced americano, and gives it a shake. the ice rattles obnoxiously against the cup. he slurps the last of his caffeine through the straw. wait. that’s it. AND ACTION! “there’s this new late night diner that popped up around the corner.” sluuurp. “we should go.” sluuurp. “c’mon, boyeon-ah. it’s almost nine. let’s go eat.” rowon rolls his chair over to cherry and leans in, his drink dangerously close to her ear. “what are you workin’ on anyway?” sluuuuurp.

cherry might not have landed the biggest role, but she’s still above happy for the role she’s gotten. boyeon is a bit similar to cherry, which is lucky for cherry because that makes her easier to play. she’s been practicing like hell for this role, and often finds herself practicing along rowon as their roles spend a lot of time together.

she’s looking at a paper, some notes and advice a coach gave her when she asked for help and performed a scene for him. she’s read over it a million times, and will probably continue doing so. she’s been holding her iced tea in her hands for a million years, but still too occupied to be taking a single sip.

she looks up at rowon as he speaks, giving a single nod as her return.

“the real question is why aren’t you working” she shakes her head, running her hands over different papers “i wanna be of help to boah” she pouts as she looks up at rowon. “but uh, do let me know what there is to eat at that new place…”. “no!” she takes up a few pieces of paper and throws them at rowon “we gotta work! there must be something that we haven’t noticed in these papers”. “you are free to get me something more to drink though” she looks at the other with a smile on her lips.

practice makes perfect

though cherry hadn’t managed to land a big role in one family business, she was still above excited to stare in the drama. cherry is still aware that she’s not the best actress, and she still has a long way to go, she’s probably not fit for any big roles yet, but she wants to practice her acting so she’s eventually good enough for a big role. she’s been spending an awful lot of time with rowon, their characters great friends in the drama, but cherry still wants to practice as much as she can, it’s a bit difficult to practice by herself though, and she attempted once to practice along her hamster, just for her hamster to run away.

so cherry invited minji over, even though the two hadn’t seen each other in quite the while. “something in me told me you’re quite well at acting, thanks for coming over and be willing to help me practice my lines”. “ah! are you thirsty? i have a lot of options, name whatever you want and i probably have it” while cherry had close to no food in her apartment, she did have basically ever drink that existed.

“i said what i said!” this wasn’t the time to argue, but there were points to be made. “and what are you talking about, metal doesn’t melt? of course, it melts! that’s why your pot is melting righ—what do you mean inside?!” dom yelped and threw the pot across the floor as if it was a demon child and not … burnt noodles. he stalled. and stalled. it did not move—of course, it didn’t. it’s an inanimate object, you freakin’ moron! his inner voice continued to go off, but he didn’t pay any more attention to it. instead, he stood there, staring at the pot that had turned over on the kitchen floor. and then, like a scene right out of a horror film, something began slowly oozing out from underneath. it was cherry red ( no pun intended ) in colour, almost like— “why …” dom grabbed onto cherry’s arm, his eyes widening comically at the horrific scene. “your pot … why is it bleeding …”

“dom you’re making even me feel smart” which should’ve been impossible, but i guess not, “metal melts, but on high temperatures! or something… well, it definitely won’t melt just from being put on my stove” cherry places her hands on her hips as she looks at dom, they really were dumb and dumber weren’t they?

cherry is still unsure how they messed up, but it’s pretty obvious they messed something up, but who hadn’t expected that? at least they hadn’t started a fire or something yet… though with the countless of fires cherry has started, she luckily knows how to put out a fire.

cherry scratches the top of her head, just as confused as dom while the two stare at her pot. “do you think my pot is haunted or something… or worse! it’s a bird! oh my god dom… we must’ve put the pot on top of a bird and now it’s bleeding and dying” what a stupid conclusion “lift up the pot! hurry!”.

“that’s good to hear.” aeri nodded, feeling glad that cherry had found something that she was interested in. as the topic of punishments were brought up, aeri thought about the last time she heard about it. it felt such a long time ago but at the same time, it was fresh in her mind due to the unexpected visit from all of the higher-ups and their managers. “i’m unsure either, but i think it would be good to keep it that way.” she stated as her voice softened. “you probably have a better idea than i do what the trainees are doing if you have some trainee friends. a lot of mines have left the company or debuted.” aeri shrugged, realizing then and there how she’s becoming more withdrawn compared to when she was a trainee. she knew her past self would still try to seek ways to interact and meet with people, but the present moment was an example of how some parts of that have changed. aeri chuckled at cherry’s words and tried to reassure her, “there’s probably a musical out there that i’m unaware of that might not have dancing involved, so if that happens maybe it can be the one for you?” she wasn’t quite knowledgeable enough to be considered an expert when it came to musicals but she did know some of the popular ones and the ones she’s been a part of. “...or if that doesn’t work out, maybe you can be a part of a rom-com drama where your character’s hidden talent is rapping.” she suggested lightheartedly, unsure if that would happen but based on the past projects she’s taken, aeri has been embracing the concept of “anything is possible as long as you try”.

“i wonder why it’s such a big deal… to date” the blonde leans back a bit. “i guess some people say it’ll distract you from your career or something” she shrugs “but i just can’t seem to find out how it’s such a big deal”. cherry deeply wished she could be public about her girlfriend, but not only was her girlfriend an idol, they were also both girls, and the world for some reason didn’t seem to be a fan of that. cherry wishes one day she can talk about it, there’s barely anyone that knows, her dad is the only person she’d told about her girlfriend. “ah well, i have a lot of trainee friends, i’m good at making new friends” she nods. 

“i could be part of some comic musical where we all suck at dancing” a chuckle escapes her lips. “i won’t worry too much about musicals at the moment, my first goal should just be landing a role, any role” she shrugs “i still have far to go though… not exactly the best actress yet” she pouts “but i’ll learn it” … “right?”. cherry had been used to sucking at basically everything, but now she had something she really wished to not suck at. “but it makes me curious, what will my first role ever be?”.

lgcsehun

sehun isn’t sure how he’d do with living alone. as independent as he is, having to decide what to eat everyday while residing in the legacy dorms is already more than enough work as it is to him. if anything, he’s sure he’d be in the same boat as cherry is, if he were alone under a roof all to himself; the entire apartment would be cold, lonely lest he had a pet like the hamster which rolls in its ball around sehun with curiosity. the moment cherry grabs ahold on him, sehun heaves her upwards with ease, “someone?” he teases, a breathy exhale following as a low-toned laugh. a gentle reminder to cherry of the fact she’d forgotten. he hums in acknowledgment, glancing over at the animal with tenderness in contrast to cherry’s irritated eyes, kneeling down to prod around at the ball with his finger. “you didn’t at all, i had nothing else to do anyway.” curiosity rises in him like it did the first time sehun stepped foot into the apartment. “sure. what d’ya have?”

there’s honestly so many reasons for why cherry should live with her girlfriend. she’d be much safer, someone to save her from the dumb situations she puts herself in, and she’d be much happier. she also deeply misses seeing her girlfriend, but they’re both busy, even though cherry isn’t really a proper actress yet. but the possibility of living together is slim and will most likely be far out in the future, her girlfriend is an idol and lives with her members, for now cherry must sadly continue to miss the other.

“oh yeah” the blonde sighs “that someone will probably have to be me” cherry knows she’ll never clean under her bed though, nobody can see how dirty it is, so who cares? (unless of course someone is as stupid as cherry and gets themselves trapped under there). “good, i was bored, berry didn’t seem to want to entertain me” she pouts, but berry is a great distraction, cherry sometimes looks at the hamster doing basically nothing and finds herself entertained. “well… for food i have uh” she scratches her head “bananas, apples, cherries, blueberries and raspberries and i think i have some cheese too” there wasn’t much diversity in cherry’s fridge. “for drinks i basically have everything, you name it and i got it”.

cherry's open connections !

hello everyone ! with the spring cleaning, i've of course got some new plots/connections ideas for you guys :3 please do message me/comment if there's any of them you could see your muses fitting :3 i'll also link cherry's plot page you can check out as well! if you'd prefer simply doing some plotting, just like and i'll come to you !!

. plot page

...

‘apologies, i don’t like you’ - open cherry has barely ever been able to tell when someone likes her, but this time she’s figured it out, she’s completely sure. she comes to you, to tell you she doesn’t like you that way, only to be met with the truth: you never liked cherry that way, she was just stupid and made the wrong guess.

‘apologies, i do like you’ - open as said, oblivious and dumb, cherry can rarely ever tell when someone likes her. you’re just friends, and cherry says it jokingly: ‘you’re acting like you have a crush on me’ only to be met with the scary truth: ‘i do like you’.

‘where are the cameras! is this a prank?’ - open had anyone actually filmed this, perhaps it was a prank people could laugh at, thing just was, there’s no cameras nor are anyone pulling a prank on you and cherry. it’s the third time, the very third time you and cherry manages to get stuck in the elevator, how does this always happen to you two?

‘enemies, without proper reason’ - open cherry doesn’t like you because she’s heard from people that you hate her, you don’t like cherry because you’ve heard she hates you. there’s not actually a good reason why you’re enemies, you just dislike the other for no proper reason. will it continue on like this or will the two of you ever work it out?

‘family? nevermind…’ - open helping cleaning her dad’s place, cherry finds a picture, a picture of clearly cherry and someone else, on the back the words ‘cousins’ are written. showing you the picture it becomes obvious it’s you and cherry, so now you’re family! turns out the picture wasn’t of you nor cherry, but believing it for so long, are you still some sort of family?

‘long time friends’ - open cherry was kicked out of her parents’ place at eighteen, you were there for her when it happened, and cherry was above happy to have you, though now, with the amount of friends she has, she’s almost forgotten about you, when she needs help, can she still go to you? or have you fallen apart?

‘i’m fake crying… definitely’ - open cherry is not someone who cries, she cries barely and ever, but when you show up at her door unannounced, you catch cherry cry, and though she doesn’t want to talk about it, it’s pretty clear, she needs someone to hug and talk about it with, are you willing to stay and listen? or will you just be a temporary distraction?

‘it happened once, it can happen again’ - open you went to high school together, disliked each other because you liked the same person, now you meet at legacy and it seems like it’s all happening again. it’s clear to you, once again, cherry likes the same person as you, what will you do about it? and what will you do when you find out cherry doesn’t like the same person as you?

‘to me?’ - open cherry has never ever had someone look up to her, so it takes her by great surprise when you let her know you look up to her, this is the confidence boost cherry needed, maybe there weren’t too much thought behind your words, but cherry has become extremely happy for you, how can she repay your words?

‘connection over our differences’ - open cherry has been in korea for a while now, still, she often feels like a foreigner as she grew up a whole different place. with you though, being a foreigner as well, she can come to you when she feels like she doesn’t fit in, ‘thanks for being different with me’

‘it’s my secret, now ours’ - open it might be easy to tell, but cherry doesn’t say it out loud, she suffers from disorganized speech. her dad knows, but she needs someone to talk about it with, and though cherry is always positive, is it okay if she cries in your arms?

spring questions

...

cherry sits down, hands on her thighs, cherry has never been the best to answer any type of question, not exactly a lot going on in her mind, but she’ll still attempt answering today’s question with as much honesty and thought as she can.

‘when someone wrongs you, do you respond with revenge or forgiveness?’ “i’ve never been someone to seek out revenge to be honest, even the people who have hurt me the most i still don’t want revenge from, just because someone hurt me, doesn’t mean i’ll hurt them” she taps her fingers on her thighs “but that doesn’t mean i instantly respond with forgiveness either” she shakes her head “there’s not exactly a lot of people out there who have wronged me, but for the ones who wronged me the most, i won’t forgive them, nor will i seek any form of revenge”,

‘which do you find more appealing: to be loved, to be admired, or to be feared?’ “loved, most definitely”. “i have no interest in having anyone fear me, i’m a nice person, or so i would say at least… i enjoy having people like me, like i like everybody, friendships and connections means a lot to me’”. “i also don’t need to feel admired, i know i don’t have a lot of talents, not really any reasons for anyone to look up to me, but that doesn’t bother me. i don’t need to be feared nor admired, as long as i have people around me that love me, for well, me”.

‘what, if anything, makes you feel insecure?’’ “i don’t really feel insecure about stuff” she shrugs “it hasn’t always been like that… i’ve never really been good at anything, while i was young that bothered me, now, not as much. i might not be smart nor strong or have a lot of things i’m good at, but i’m me, and that’s what makes me special. i don’t want to go around and have a life where i’m insecure about something, why be insecure about something that very well makes me, me”.

‘how much do you care what people think of you’ “i’d like to say not at all, but i don’t think i can… i don’t need anyone to look up to me or something like that, and it’s not the end of the world if someone doesn’t like me, still, i kinda wished everyone liked me”. “i’m not good at stuff, but i’m good at making friends, i want the people around me to like me, and maybe i can worry a bit that they don’t. but isn’t it impossible to not care at all?”.

@K_IMCHERISH JUST POSTED A PHOTO!

[cherrylgc]

can you dance?

cherry had gladly escaped dance practice once she switched to the acting path. cherry had never been good at dancing, absolutely never, even with hours of dance practice she remained with two left feet. cherry was pretty sure she’d never be the best dancer, but she was also known for staying positive, so that she attempted. cherry hadn’t minded the acting practice for this workshop, but she had been let known she needed to dance as well and she almost jumped out the window and hid for forever.

cherry has never been very fit, she quickly gets out of breath, and you can see that from how she stares up at baekhyun ten minutes into dance practice “i’m out of water” there’s a pout on her lips, ten minutes into dance practice and she’s sweating like hell “please let me drink the water from your water bottle as well”. cherry forces herself to stand up, a loud groan escaping her lips “you’re an idol, please give me some tips on dancing” still, out of breath, hands on her hips.

cherry had almost forgotten how bad she was at dancing, and how out of shape she was.

lgcxhimari

* ⟡ — best night ever

when cherry said that they should cook tonight, himari immediately gave it a big fat no. she held up her hand and announced that they were going to get edible food. "chicken and beer!" she had declared. and they had set off. himari had been wanting to go to get chicken and beer for some time now. considering someone wouldn't go with her, she jumped at the opportunity to have some fun with cherry. "you have to promise to eat well, okay?" himari says as she opens the door to the restaurant. "i'm paying tonight so eat as much as you'd like!" himari took a moment to survey the place. it was a recommendation from a friend. it wasn't large, but it looked cozy. there was an outdoor area as well. it hasn't fully warmed up yet but she still wanted to see what the other would prefer. "indoor or outdoor today? are you the type to be cold easily?"

cherry had never learned how to cook, and she was pretty sure she never would be able to. this actually wasn’t her first time living alone, her parents kicked her out at eighteen, still, with having lived by herself for years she never managed to learn how to cook. she tries every now and then, mostly just to end up with the same result: failing. she’s been lucky enough that some of her attempts have been… almost edible. but when you think about how she failed at making instant noodles, cherry seems like a lost cause. it’d been a while since she last attempted to cook, so she asked himari to cook with her, luckily the other said no.

“i can’t remember when i last had chicken and beer!” the thought was almost making her drool “i usually just eat whatever i can find at seven-eleven, or fruit… i eat a lot of fruit, just not the ones you have to peel, that’s too much work” the blonde shakes her head. “are you sure you’re okay with paying?” she asks, though in her mind she’s already prepared herself for the free food. “i’ll be eating a lot, until you have no more money left” she teases the other with a smile on her lips.

lgcminnie

when cherry asked minnie for help, minnie couldn't agree fast enough. it's good practise for cherry, but even better practise for minnie! cherry is an experienced host. minnie had the opportunity to absorb a lot of tips and tricks so that when it's her turn for something similar, she wouldn't feel so out of depth. minnie initially wanted to focus on modelling as a secondary branch of her career. brand deals were the way for better payouts, after all. but when she thinks about what mark she wants to leave on the industry, she wants to be known as a loved host. be it a music show mc or even for award shows: sometimes it could be really cool to be popular for hosting. it opens up many doors. minnie figured it would be something she finds a hidden passion for. "the cou— oh! okay, that's fine," minnie says, only faltering for a moment when she saw the mattress. she's had to live in similar conditions prior growing up. especially when the twins were old enough for beds. there was barely any space for four kids, all under 10. before they got bunk beds, minnie and minho shared a mattress on the floor. "hmm, a water should be fine for now. maybe a cola too so i have something else to drink." minnie plops down onto the couch without question. it reminds her of home in a way. "it must be quiet being by yourself. do you miss the dorm life?"

cherry had been used to being terrible at pretty much everything, it was so nice to have something she was good at. it had never bothered cherry too much that she sucked at basically everything, she was good at being positive and wouldn’t let anything get her down. still, it was so nice to have something that she didn’t just like, but was good at too. and she only wished to get better, even if she wasn’t completely sure how to. she had dreams for her acting career, but the dreams she had for her mcing career mattered much more for her.

“cola and water it is!” while cherry didn’t have much food at her place, she did have a million different things to drink, so she grabs herself a glass of fanta and comes back with a glass of water and cola for minnie. “ah, if i miss the dorm life?” she hums “i do miss living with someone, which is why i got my pet hamster berry, but she doesn’t exactly give me much attention” truthfully cherry just wished to live with her girlfriend “but it’s nice having my own place, i can invite people over whenever i want” the blonde smiles.

lgcyushin

▶▶ LOADING … diamond in the rough ( lgc top pet care w/ @cherrylgc )

somehow, he wonders if he's going to get doused in this episode too, since the last show had him in the pool. but this time, he was paired with cherry, who he was excited to be on a show with. they rarely had the opportunity! but he's already too busy pouting at the kitten in front of them, a sweet young ragdoll who looked to be in poor condition. "aigoo, cherry, i feel so bad for her! but i suppose that is why we are here." he gently pats her on the head first, smiling softly at her meowing back. she did seem uncomfortable with the matted fur. "let us see what tools we have to work with..." he smiles at cherry, not having had the chance to interact with her too much before so its probably a good time to do it while taking care of this kitty too. he's sifting through the different type of brushes, as he tries to find some that might be suitable on her longer fur. she was cute now but imagine her after getting all the knots out! "do you have any cats or pets at home?"

cherry loved being on variety shows, she would’ve preferred to host, but this is pretty fun too. it’s also not her first time on the show, and last time it went pretty well, though she wasn’t much sure what she was doing. cherry wouldn’t say she’s bad with animals, she’s just definitely better with humans. she’s excited to be along yushin, even if they haven’t exactly interacted much. last time she was playing with cats though, this time she has an actual job to do, a job she has no idea how to do.

“yushin and cherry to the rescue” she gives a firm nod before turning her eyes to the cat. “is there any instructions or… are we just hoping for the best?” she bites her lip as she looks at yushin. as long as the cat doesn’t mind getting groomed and attempts to kill them both, today should be fine. “i have a hamster called berry actually, she’s very sweet, though she doesn’t give me much attention” she shrugs “and you big guy? got any pets yourself?”.

lgcaeri

as aeri tried to imagine the activities team unknown had to do based on cherry’s explanation, there’s a part of her that reminded of how much work a lot of the trainees in their company had to do to debut as idols. “it almost made you want to quit being a trainee?” her eyes widened, surprised by what she heard. her voice softened as she said out loud, “i guess there was one positive point that came out of the team unknown experience.” pausing for a moment, aeri nodded as she agreed with the points that cherry made. the longer she stayed in lgc agency, the less she heard about what the trainees were doing especially when so many of her friends had left the company over the years. “yeah…” she trailed off, thinking of what she would hear about the trainees nowadays. “i think i hear more about the punishments that go on if anyone breaks any of the rules…” aeri admitted while sitting upright. “it seems like whenever that happens, the rumors spread like wildfire until one of the staff members mentions it to us. other than that, i might hear a thing or two about what the trainees are doing, but not as much.” it wasn’t like aeri really sought out such information, but she also wasn’t the type to dismiss it if anyone she knew had some gossip to share. “when it comes to musicals, dancing and singing are a must…especially singing. but other than that, i might even say the basics of stage combat in case you end up auditioning for a musical project that calls for it.” aeri added belatedly as she thought about the musical experiences she’s had and how all of them wanted her to work on that. “mhmm,” she nodded before continuing on to explain, “i knew singing and dancing from my time as a trainee, but i struggled with dancing quite a bit while singing was so much easier because i’ve been doing it for so long. it was still a bit of a challenge because singing a pop song is different than musical singing, you know? so that’s still something i’m still working on.”

“yep” she nods “i was not build for the kind of practice idol trainees go through”. she takes a sip before continuing “there was so much physical stuff, and i’m so weak, and i could never learn to sing or dance” she shrugs “i quite enjoy being on the acting path now, what we do actually interests me, it’s not a chore to go to practice”. cherry is happy she kept being a trainee, even if she for a while was sure she didn’t want to be an idol, having stayed made her eventually realize her love and interest for acting, so, good thing she didn’t give up. “oh yeah the punishments…” cherry thinks back to the punishments when some trainees kissed or dated, she’s not sure, she just remembers the charity work all the trainees were forced to do. “it’s been a while since all the trainees got a punishment… i think?” as long as the next punishment wasn’t because of cherry and her girlfriend, they were quite careful though “i have trainee friends, still, i don’t really know what the trainees are doing” she shrugs.

“welp” cherry leans back “i’m not expecting to join a musical any time soon, so i’ll just continue attempting to learn how to sing and dance”. truthfully cherry wasn’t really expecting to land any roles soon, though she enjoyed acting, she was still far from being a good actress. “dancing is hard” cherry says before stuffing a piece of food into her mouth. she sighs “yeah i guess so, musical singing will probably be different from the singing i practiced during my trainee days”.

[cherrylgc]

spin the imaginary wheel !

perhaps cherry was on the acting path, but her true passion was hosting and mcing. cherry hadn’t actually done much acting, she hadn’t even improved that much in acting, her mc career was definitely bigger. cherry still hadn’t done major things, but she had gotten to have her own youtube show and podcast, then her own youtube channel and then being a special mc for a music show. cherry loved acting, she just loved hosting a little more. practicing her mcing skills were a bit more of a challenge, she didn’t really have anyone to go to, and being on the acting path, her time in legacy was mainly used on practicing acting.

so cherry has taken it into her own hands, she’ll practice by herself and be the best host the world has ever seen. she’s invited minnie over for a quiz show, not that there is any viewers but themselves, but it’s an attempt at practicing those hosting skills. “i apologize about the couch” she says as she looks at the mattress on the floor that she calls a ‘couch’, her couch has been a mattress on the floor for more than a year now, and cherry has gotten pretty used to not having an actual couch. “thanks for coming over by the way, want something to drink before i drag you into an imaginary quiz show?”.

seeing cherry’s reaction and energy to aeri’s question regarding hosting caused the older to notice how much cherry really enjoyed hosting. in a way, she wonders if that’s how other people see her when she talks about acting or her newfound love for songwriting. but the second cherry had mentioned musicals, aeri’s eyes lit up as she knew that was something she wouldn’t mind sharing advice and tips on. “some people can say it’s hard, but it really helps a lot having that idol training background in my opinion.” aeri placed her utensils on top of the napkin, indicating that she was done with her meal. “since i’ve heard some actors who transition to musicals have a harder time adjusting to singing and dancing well at the same time, but when you’re training to be an idol that becomes one of the important fundamentals that a person would need to master.” she paused, thinking positively about the topic. “musical acting is also one of those things where it may seem really challenging at first but very rewarding in the end because you learn a lot about yourself and as an actress.”

“well” she leans a bit back “we did a bunch of workshops, for singing, dancing, acting, the list goes on and on”. “it was basically practice, just ten times harder, i called my gir-- uh, friend crying because of how hard it was” she hums. “i truly hated it, when i was a trainee i kind of slacked off, could not do that in team unknown” she takes a sip of her drink. “team unknown almost wanted me to quit being a trainee, and i guess in some kind of way it did make me quit… it taught me my interest in acting, so, sure, i hated it, but at least something good came out of it” she shrugs. “i think when you’re an idol, or actress, you don’t know as much what the trainees are doing, so i’m not surprised you haven’t heard of team unknown before”.

“i know i was an idol trainee for a while” she stuffs a piece of food in her mouth before continuing “but i suck at singing and dance”. “it’s never been easy for me” not that anything has ever been easy to learn for cherry “two years as a trainee in legacy and i still have two left feet” she shrugs. “i’m not that interested in musicals, but i want to have the opportunity, you get what i mean? like i would like to be able to be casted in a musical, so” she shrugs “guess i got to learn to dance and sing”. “though, at the moment, i should probably just focus on my acting”. “did you know how to sing and dance when you became and actress? or did you first learn that later on?”.

“what do you mean, your dad? why was he cooking? isn’t that the private chef’s job?” dom was appalled at the very thought. if his own father cooked, he couldn’t imagine what kind of meals concoctions they would be forced to eat. his mother and sisters wouldn’t be helpful either. they would just have to live their entire lives dining out. as he pondered on this, the smell of burnt plastic grew stronger. “it can’t be expired. noodles don’t expire.” he scanned the backside of the ramyeon pack — and there it was, 2027.03. “not expired.” then where was the smell coming from? dom sniffed the soy sauce. then the gochujang. then the pot. and oh, it was the pot. it was the pot! “uh, cherry?” he turned to his cooking buddy, pot slightly trembling in his hand. “i think … your pot’s melting. what do i — should i toss it out?”

“the chef’s job?” cherry keeps silent for a bit before a laugh manages to escape her lips. “are you rich or something?” she tilts her head a bit “we didn’t have the money for someone to cook for us, so my parents usually cooked” she shrugs “not that any of them were particularly good to be honest… the food always tasted better when we ordered food” she hums. 

“noodles don’t expire? man i guess you learn something new every day…”. though if it aren’t the noodles, cherry isn’t sure what it is. she attempts looking around as well, opening the fridge, but that’s definitely not where the smell came from. at last though, dom manages to find the source of the smell.

“dom what the hell do you mean my pot’s melting, that’s metal! it doesn’t just melt” suddenly cherry was feeling smart “it’s probably something inside of the pot, go look inside it!” she places her hands on her hips as she stares at dom.

it’s almost instant that sehun takes out his phone from the pocket of his pants, held-out in position; not wanting to waste another second to capture the clumsy moment that cherry caught herself in; camera clicking one too many times to count, before he’s satisfied. there’s a fond smile that curves across features when he does — to be able to laugh freely with a friend is a nice thing to have, sehun thinks. “you really take me for that kind of person?” akin to a kicked puppy, voice drops; lips shaped into a pout to accompany the tone. despite, sehun lets the hamster go to roll off elsewhere, and places his phone on the bedside table. shuffling closer, hands take ahold of the box on either side of it, and lifts the weight off of cherry—gently settling it to the side, on the floor wherever there’s space available. sehun lingers an open palm amidst the other’s view, “c’mon. i’ll help you get up too.”

cherry was doomed to get herself into dumb situations once she moved to live alone. how she managed to live alone for a couple of years prior to legacy was still a mystery, how had she survived? with all the fires she’d made, all the dumb situations she had gotten herself into. so far cherry hasn’t started a fire in her current apartment, but she also hasn’t really dared to cook. now she’s stuck under her bed, cherry simply sucks at living alone. she wishes she lived with her girlfriend, that would make life more enjoyable and easier.

and the box at last gets removed and cherry is close to tasting her freedom. “thank you” cherry grabs the other’s hand and finally gets to stand up. “man was there dirty under my bed, someone should clean up in there” she places her hands on her hips, forgetting that since she lives alone it’s her job to clean the apartment. “and my hamster is doing fine i see” cherry looks annoyedly at her hamster rolling around in its ball. “hope i didn’t get you at a busy time…” she looks at sehun “want anything to drink or eat my savior?”.
