⠀ ❛⠀ x͟o, @iksseoul           ——       (i can't believe he just said that —     what do i say?     WHAT DO I DO?     why don't i even know how i feel?)     ah, haha, yyyyeah ..     it is.    (do something, kitty, ANYTHING)     um ..     want peanuts?     the airplane kind is the best kind —     i̵'m̵ ̵s̵o̵r̵r̵y̵,

⠀ ❛⠀ x͟o, @iksseoul           ——       first of all,     i haven’t met anyone with an ego as big as yours before,     and second of all,     just ‘cause you say “i dare you” doesn’t mean i’m gonna call you pretty.     (not out loud)     so, tough luck?     have fun doing that.     anyways,      which do you like more —     the yellow or orange tablecloths?     we have to get this just right.

⠀ ❛⠀ x͟o, @iksseoul           ——       hey,    MIN HO,    you must seriously be dreaming if you think i’m going to     —!    (bend over backwards for him after everything?)   just give it back already,    would you?    i called dibs on it fair and square anyways,    (he’s not budging..)    you know what?    fine.    pl —     oh god, i can’t even say it.     pleassss..    e?    there. happy now?

(silence)      —      ?        pretty please?

⠀ ❛⠀ x͟o, @iksseoul           ——       and you know you’re not making this any better,   right?   why don’t you just go and leave me alone and do rich people stuff,    or whatever it is you do all day?   drink 15krw detox smoothies on a yacht?   (it’s embarrassing for you to see me like this anyways.. why aren’t you laughing?)   i just don’t get it,   why he’d do something like that.   i know him.   i know he wouldn’t ..

⠀ ❛⠀ x͟o, @xonetzzn           ——       psh,   it’s not like i’m *trying* to embarrass myself,   you know ..   who wants that?   people here just judge way too much.   (and yeah, i’ve heard,)   how do people even come up with names like that?   it’s like ..    next level creativity.   and being a next level hater —   but people will talk.   i didn’t come all the way here for them anyways~   (doesn’t mean it doesn’t suck.)

it's fine if you sit here,   just  —   try not to embarrass yourself.   people have been calling you names all week  (i'm sure you've heard)  and you're about one click away from those things going viral.   not a pretty look for you,  new girl.

⠀ ❛⠀ x͟o, @xonetzzn           ——       oh, and he’s too loud for her,    so it’d totally be better for her to be her partn ..    sorry?    thinking out loud?    shit,    am i bothering?    i could totally —     erm —    go study over there ..    (at that table that’s completely full,)    or there,    (at that table that’s also completely full?)    or i could just ..     yeah, i’ll just be quiet. 

⠀ ❛⠀ x͟o, @bqbygirI           ——       [     kitty doesn't miss the way jina rolls her eyes,     causing her ears to burn red as she buries her face in her dorm-issued pillow, tossing her phone across the bed once she's 100% sure it's hung up.     ]     launch a basketball?     you'd totally get expelled for that!     [     her voice is muffled until she finally musters the courage to sit up straight on her bed,     looking over at her friend with brows furrowed.     ]     he gets on my nerves, but the weird thing is, jiji, sometimes it feels like there's a person in there, you know?     a caring, thoughtful ..     annoying person.     ONLY SOMETIMES!

            DAE?  —  [  her  eyes  widen  before  narrowing.  ]  is  it  dae  or  q?   or  is  it  /minho/  —  [  jina’s  cut  off  by  kittys  rambling, causing  her  to  roll  her  eyes  with  an  affectionate  smile.  ]  kitty,  it’s  okay  if  it’s  minho I  was  just  joking,  yeah  sure  he  can  get  on  my  last  nerves  and  just  looking  at  his  face  makes  me  want  to  launch  a  basketball  at  him—  I  guess  sometimes  he’s  alright. 

⠀ ❛⠀ x͟o, @bqbygirI           ——       NO, noooo, it’s definitely not —-    it’s,  um,  fuck  (who else in this school is british?)    it’s dae,    (THAT’S WORSE?)    q.    it’s q?    ah..     yeah, you caught me.     some collagen water emergency.    or something.     none taken,    by the way,    it does the EXACT SAME THING to mine     .. haha .. ha?

@xogoyangi 
            
            wait  shit  I  totally  forgot  you  had  to  study  I’m  so  sorry —  [  jina  apologizes  quickly,  taking  kittys  hands  into  her  own ]  and  yes,  that  is— who  I  was  telling  you  about  [  she  whispers,  her  curled  hair  falling  over  her  shoulder.  ]  but—  forget  that—  let  me  help  you  study  and  THEN  we  can  come  back! 

⠀ ❛⠀ x͟o, @bqbygirI           ——       (woah, even playing the nickname card? it must be important,)   haha,   okokok,   but we have to get back to studying history after,   promise?   if we don’t,   my passing grade will be the only thing in the past ..   where are we going,   anyways?   (…)   hey,   is that —?

⠀ ❛⠀ x͟o, @bqbygirI           ——       that's insane,     jiji,     I CAN'T WAIT FOR IT !!     [     kitty is already bustling about her dorm space,     closet thrown open in hope of finding a somewhat presentable concert outfit.     ]     your manager knows them personally ?     suddenly your manager is like,     my second favorite person in the world.     with you obviously being first !!     okay, okay, but you have to swear to teach me everything about them beforehand,     promise?     i can't handle another viral fail,     haha.     this is going to be ..     like a dream come true!

@xogoyangi 
            
            YES  !  US  AS  IN  ME  AND  YOU  !  [  Jina  matches  her  friend’s  excitement,  her  mouth  almost  hurts  from  smiling  so  wide.  ]   IT  WAS  SOLD  OUT  BUT  TURNS  OUT  MY  MANAGER  KNOWS  THEM  PERSONALLY!  We  even  got  backstage  passes  !  !  

⠀ ❛⠀ x͟o, @bqbygirI           ——       oh my god,    SERIOUSLY?    but wasn’t that show sold out?    (rich people with connections are insanely lucky, aren’t they? madison and ocean park, now this?)     that’s insane !!    whoever you’re gonna take to this is gonna have so much f —    (kitty, she said US.)    wait,    US?    US?    AS IN ME AND YOU?    NO WAY ..    JIJI !!

⠀ ❛⠀ x͟o, @kissfake           ——       and it wasn't my place to tell that, i told you before —   i swore i wouldn't ..   (something i wouldn't understand ..?)   even if i'm not some famous person,   my sisters are relying on me,   my dad is relying on me,    to learn about my mom,   and this is the *only* lead i had,   yuri ..   i just didn't want to do it alone.   i guess i've been nothing but a bother to you,   right?      (...)      just so you know,   people's opinions aren't worth as much as you think they are.   really ..   because i thought you were amazing,   trashed reputation or not.

@xogoyangi     ``♡︎♥︎      [    ID   :     XO,    KITTY.     ]       the   same   /interest/,   kitty  !?      do   you  have  any  idea  what  i'm  going  through  right  now??      i  just  found  out  i  have  a  brother,   which  by  the  way  you  /knew/ ,   more  than  i  did;     on  top  of  that  i   had  to  come  out  to  my  mom  this  week,   and  yes  in  a  way  it  was  freeing  but  as  your  so  called   "it girl"   i  have  a  reputation   to   uphold,   not  just  for  me,   but  for  my  parents  too    -   believe  me,   that  pressure  is  not  something  you  would  understand.    so  no,    i'm  not   treating  this  as   urgently  as   you.    i'm  sorry  you  can't  see  why.

⠀ ❛⠀ x͟o, @kissfake           ——       for the record,   yuri,   i don’t have a *problem* with you,   besides letting me get hurt,   and taking my mom’s necklace,   and —   well, you get it.    i’ll spill.   (not like i could keep it zipped around you, anyways,)   i just wish you had the same amount of interest in solving this whole thing as i do,   doesn’t it,   i don’t know,   *mean* anything to you?   my mom was the reason i came here.   these days, it feels like she’s the only person i’ve got left.   don’t you know how that feels,   or are you too busy being an “it girl” to notice the rest of us?
