@garciti liked for a starter.

while leah once considered picking up skateboarding, the idea was quickly shut down by her (ahem, controlling) parents. thus, she had to settle with watching her younger cousin scrape his knees as he fell from his skateboard countless times. the 8-year-old leah wanted to experience that too, but alas, even until now, leah has never had one scrape on her knee.

always the impeccably untarnished little girl, huh?

speaking of which, that reckless cousin of hers is graduating from university in a couple of days. like leah, he was been sent to seoul to study. unlike leah, he’s now somewhat of a pro-skateboarder. that would make for a great story, a skateboarding future lawyer. it has a nice ring to it.

leah likes this cousin. he’s a good dude, so she wants to do something nice for him. she’s not going to get him a silly bouquet of flowers, no––she’s going to be special and considerate by giving him a new skateboard. that stingy little brat said he should save up and he keeps using that ugly and rundown skateboard he has since his high school days.

before she enters the shop, she walks with confidence. however, once she opens the door, she quickly becomes a shrinking flower. this is a foreign world for her, she doesn’t understand which skateboard to get. surely she can’t just get one that she thinks looks cool. it’s the same as getting a shitty laptop just because you like the colour!

so she walks up to one of the girls working there, “excuse me. can you help me pick out a skateboard?”
