CURTAIN CALL 안예은 ― AHN YEEUN
⏪ ❚❚ ⏩
🔈━━━━━━●┈┈┈┈┈┈🔊
AHN YEEUN IS SURPRISED TO find that at 10am on a Thursday, the grocery store near her apartment is crowded.
She hates when it's crowded.
It means more cars parked in the parking lot, more people loitering in the aisles, longer lines at the checkout counter, a limited option in the vegetables she got to pick from — it's just an entirely unpleasant experience.
Yeeun isn't even in search of anything special today, either. She just wants to get her cherry tomatoes, green onions, and pack of juice boxes (because God forbid she leave Nami without her juice boxes) and get out of there.
But of course, her friends are throwing a dinner party (at her apartment, of course, where else?) on Saturday night, and somehow Yeeun ended up stuck with grocery duty — somehow she always ends up stuck with grocery duty.
She's not even the one in charge of cooking, and yet the task is still left up to her.
Even after she's gotten everything she needs, the basket on Yeeun's arm is awfully light. With a sigh, she pulls out her phone, clicking on a group chat titled "Yeonjung and the Uglies" before thumbing out a message.

Yeeun is too distracted by the texts blowing up her phone that she doesn't notice the figure coming towards her until he bumps into her.
"Oomph!" She lets out a grunt of pain on impact, and almost drops the basket on her arm in surprise.
Unfortunately, the other person doesn't have the same luck, and ends up dropping his basket — right onto Yeeun's toes.
She sucks in a sharp breath, and almost bites her tongue to stop herself from saying something too explicit.
"Oh, I'm so sorry!" The guy exclaims, looking up in horror at Yeeun. He's young — young enough to go to school with her — and his eyebrows are furrowed in worry.
He leans down to pick up his basket from where it has fallen quickly.
"Oh, I really should have been watching where I was going. Are you okay?"
"Yeah," Yeeun forces out through a clenched smile. "I'm fine."
"Are you sure?" She's annoyed and her toes are throbbing, but there's something about how earnest he is that doesn't let her tell him that.
"I'm fine," she repeats like a broken record.
He raises his eyebrows, indicating that he's skeptical still, but she quickly tries to move on.
"I'll just—I'll go."
"Wait!" He calls. "It's Yeeun, right?"
She nods.
"I'm Taeil, Moon Taeil. I think we have English together."
"Oh, that's nice," she says.
"I'm really sorry, again," he begins.
"Okay."
"O-Okay?" He parrots back, and she nods at him again stiffly.
And then she turns on her heel and heads towards the counter before he can say anything more — or worse, drop anything else on her aching toes.
