› growing together with @niccho . . . 🌱

there's small splatters of clay scattered around the studio - a collection of gray smears painted across the tarp at their feet, showing that someone had been hard at work trying to perfect their latest masterpiece. but danbi isn't sure if she can confidently call the lopsided teacup and saucer she made to be a paragon. especially when nic had spent the majority of the class gently coaching her on how to shape her creation, and how to not lose control of the pottery wheel as she often did whenever she took up his offer on coming to a class. despite his patient and thorough lessons, she had stepped on the pedal a little too hard and most of the materials had splashed up and stained her apron.

"that was a really fun class," she says with a smile after the last of the patrons leave, the corners of her mouth curving upwards as she turns to him. even if she wasn't the most coordinated student, danbi had still given the lesson her all and had enjoyed herself despite her slight blundering. "you're a really good teacher. it's no wonder your classes book up so quickly," she chimes, the words true and genuine. nic had an undeniable knack for putting others at ease, and though danbi wasn't the most extroverted of creatures, his warm disposition encouraged her to come today even when things like this were out of her comfort zone. "do you want to stop and get something to eat on the way home? it'll be my treat - since you, uh . . had to clean up after me and all."

danbi's cheeks flush ever so slightly as she thinks back to how out of all the other attendees, her station had been the most chaotic. "sorry again about that." she adds after a beat, shuffling her feet from side to side as she waits patiently for nic to finish attending to the last few closing tasks before they can begin their trek home. as soon as he turns off the last light, the smaller of the two turns to the door to push it open, only for it to not budge. danbi blinks once, twice . . . she tries again, putting forth a little more weight and effort this time, but it doesn't so much as squeak. she turns to him, eyes widening and a little bewildered. "it's . . . stuck?"

the title i went to see my father piques his interest. the cover gives him a serene feeling. a blue sky with faint clouds, a lonely but cozy house placed atop of fresh, green grass. hajoon briefly flips through the pages, city names that he doesn’t recognize greet him, passages about a daughter in disarray and the fleeting memory of her father. he slides it back into the shelf, in between its sister copies. nic didn’t stop when hajoon came to a halt in front of the novels section, he moved on to the destination they came here for. the scent of croissants suddenly washes over the section, a fresh batch must have just been pulled out of the oven at the café in the back of the store. he unglued himself from the novels and tries to trace nic’s steps. the croissant scent is enticing but he manages not to get enchanted and instead spots nic, his winter coat thrown over his shoulder, nose already buried in a book. hajoon brushes his fingers over spines of random books, looking for everything and nothing, eyes scanning titles and author names. he unbuttons his coat, the warmth inside the store finally getting to him as well. the fresh, warm croissants must work like a radiator in this space. ”found something already?” he asks, wondering if others aren’t as picky with books as he is. a book is a commitment, he feels like. he has the compulsive need to finish a book even if it he doesn’t enjoy it, so he prefers to only read those he assumes to enjoy. to spare himself some torture. another title. warm letters. another house underneath a blue sky, only this time it is dark. the imagery seems to haunt him, does it have any meaning? poems of love, life and family it reads on the inside. somehow those three words aren’t very relatable to him, although they are words every human should have a personal concept for. he wonders if that is worrisome and decides to put the book away. perhaps something easier for today should suffice.

are you bored yet? @niccho / ansong fall carnival ... continued from these texts that, in fact, did talk callum into wearing an actual superman costume underneath his clark kent costume

the last thing callum looks for in public is attention. he still can't wrap his head around when people have to stare when he's putting out fires — yeah, sure, they can be scary and dangerous, but why is it that disasters always leave people more dazed and confused, rooted to the spot, when they have every free will not to? why not run? is destruction really that fascinating?

but also, couldn't the same be said for halloween costumes? did everyone really have to be so obvious when they were choosing to stare?

"i should just let you go without that damn thing." the two of them are a comedically stark contrast of one another, nic's twisted garb of thin sheeted fabric wrapped scantily around his torso and waist to cover him in only the most necessary areas while callum is... a very unhappy looking and fully clothed clark kent. he tugs at the collar of his dress shirt uncomfortably. in the midst of the halloween stalls and carnival rides and everything else overloaded their senses, nic had misplaced his phone which equated to a mild public freakout and callum's drive to jump out of this costume even more severe.

his sixth attempt to call nic's voice comes with no avail. callum's screen goes dark and he blows a small raspberry with his lips, mentally thumbing through his recollections all the stalls and benches they'd been at during the day. he eyes his friend's costume again and squints at a sudden realization. "wait a minute. that thing doesn't have pockets or anything? you were just holding your phone the entire day? when was the last time you remember having it?"

[solstitios]

callum: that's not how juries work sorry to inform you callum: should i block you callum: you can change your costume callum: whyyyyy do i have to be him................ can i not just go as myself callum: i mean how would you feel if you called the police or fire dept and someone showed up dressed as LITERAL superman callum: pretty sure wingmen are for when you're trying to date someone and i'm not trying to do that 🤨

nic: 😐😐😐 are u saying i'm not hot bc the me myself and i jury came to a unanimous decision nic: well that's too damn bad nic: no i'm cupid i can't be superman nic: how would that make you jobless on HALLOWEEN dude tell ur boss to pull the stick outta his ass nic: what do u think a wingman is for 🤨

a way to cut through the week's tedium, yijung had signed up on a whim upon seeing the studio's promotional pricing for her first 3 classes. who would've thought that being severely humbled in front of a pottery wheel would end up being her choice of a wednesday night engagement?

"okaaaaay." yijung pauses, sizing up the lump of clay before her. it's a far cry from @niccho's, but she's spent too long slaving over it--- and they haven't even gotten to the actual throwing! she'd come in a little earlier today, proclaiming she was going to wedge her own clay, but a quick look at the clock reminds her that if she hadn't been so confident, she'd already be way further in failing to make her own piece.

no matter, of course. it'll surely all be smooth-sailing from here onwards. this is her, what, 4th class? yijung's absolutely sure there are no air bubbles in her own wedge, and there's zero chance of it exploding in the kiln! "i think- no, this is good. right?"

A memorial ceremony was held in a Tokyo park Sept. 1 to commemorate thousands of Koreans massacred in the aftermath of the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake as a group that denies the slaughter occurred staged a gathering in the same venue to reassert its claim.

Hundreds of metropolitan police were assigned to Yokoamicho Park in Sumida Ward to prevent a recurrence of skirmishes that flared last year between the group and people who oppose it and led to a number of arrests.

But no major disruption occurred this year due to a heavy police presence that ensured the two sides remained separate.

The memorial ceremony, held annually since 1974, by a group called Niccho Kyokai (Japan-Korea association) in association with other groups.

About 700 people attended last year’s event held in front of a monument dedicated to the deceased Koreans, according to committee organizers. The number of attendees this year was scaled back to about 30 due to the novel coronavirus pandemic.

Delivering an address, Yasuhiko Miyagawa, chairman of the committee, underlined the importance of remembering the tragedy that targeted ethnic Koreans and Chinese because of unfounded rumors.

“Koreans and Chinese were killed by vigilante corps, the military and police that believed in the rumors that swirled after the disaster,” he said in the streamed event. “There have been moves in recent years to make this indelible fact forgotten. We should never forget that countless precious lives were robbed.”

An estimated 105,000 people were killed in the quake that struck the capital and surrounding areas on Sept. 1, 1923, according to the central government’s Central Disaster Management Council.

Koreans and Chinese living in the metropolitan area were targeted as rumors spread that they were plotting to stage an armed uprising, were setting fire to property, looting homes and poisoning water wells.

♦︎ ♦︎ ♦︎ ⸻ insu tries his hardest to school his face into something less transparently full of disgust, but then he gags and ruins it. he shivers for dramatic effect and then frowns deeply. while nic laughing at his expense made a small bout of irritation flare through him, there was some sort of fondness he refused to identify as his friends face lit up. instead he watches as nic finishes the rest of his coffee, narrowing his eyes and debates taking the cup back again just to attempt a quick free-throw toss with it right into the trash.

"listen, black coffee is how you're supposed to drink it. it puts hair on your chest. you wouldn't understand seeing as you drink that sugary abomi-fucking-nation." he grumbles and adjusts his own jacket, trying once again to swipe at nic with his foot but following suit, regardless.

the trip to nic's apartment is quick, something in and out that insu rolls his eyes at, and then they're on their way. the drive is smooth and quick, insu gently cooing at his car as if it could hear him, and once they finally arrive insu is already taking out his wallet because he knows nic will try and pay and he refuses to owe him anything. and maybe he wanted to also just be a good friend, or something equally mortifying. besides, hearing nic scream like a scared kid was worth more then the discounted tickets.

"we're in theater number ten," he tells nic, waving their little stubs in his hand, even holding the door open for him to enter like a true gentleman. "the next movie starts in 'bout fifteen so you can be the true princess you are and get all the treats your heart desires, all on me." he waves a hand towards the concessions and smirks, maybe a bit playful despite it all. "but also keep it under fifty bucks 'cause i'm not made of money."

——— "that 'weird pile of goop' is literally just clay," nic retorts quickly, feeling satisfied at insu's pout when nic hoards his coffee closer. he refuses to comment on the remark about insu being good with his hands, however. nic's already disappointed enough at his reluctance to sleep around despite his obvious want to. he has eyes and needs, okay?

instead he just puts his half-smoked cigarette out in the ashtray that looks a little worse for wear sitting on the table outside. seriously, the thing looks ancient, cracked around the edges and usually always overflowing with cigarettes smoked all the way to the filter. nic will sometimes empty it in the nearby trash can so they don't blow away in the wind, but today he's got things to do, places to be. "i'm not dignifying your delinquency with a response," he says evenly, as though he's not somewhat of a delinquent himself.

a snort escapes him at what he knew would be insu's reaction to the date comment. "your appetite could withstand a nuclear apocalypse, you'll be fine you big baby," nic says as he stands and stretches his hands above his head, narrowly missing insu trying to kick him under the table. that, unfortunately, gives insu a window to snatch up nic's coffee and take a sip despite nic's earlier inner monologue about not letting a greasy bastard steal his shit.

"you mother—" nic's cut off by insu's outburst about how bad nic's coffee is, which is just factually not true. it's the superior way to drink coffee. it's not nic's fault that insu's a heathen of a boy who has never seen a bottle of cream or a cup of sugar in his life. laughter bubbles out of his throat while insu goes through all five stages of grief as he looks at the cup of coffee like it personally offended every single member of his family. he's still fighting the giggles when he snatches his coffee back to down the rest of it, and quips back, "some of us like to enjoy our coffee instead of seeing how many cups we can down in the 30 minutes between waking up and running out the door because we're late for work."

nic still wears a smirk as he pulls his jacket closer and waves insu along. "i have to take this cup upstairs before we go, c'mon."
