toujours_belle: do you know what otp stands for

sonderland: on the phone

toujours_belle: what?

sonderland: you know, the afk before there was a k

toujours_belle: i literally have no idea what you’re talking about

sonderland: you’re making me feel so old. and i’m only a few months older than you

toujours_belle: does it really mean on the phone or are you trolling me

sonderland: both

toujours_belle: jessi you’re so cruel to me :(

sonderland: ofc i know what it means i don’t go around saying mirin are on the phone. although they were in mijin’s last v live

toujours_belle: so mirin are your otp? your number one?? the bae of all baes???

sonderland: uhh maybe not with the way you put it

toujours_belle: okay but i asked because, well if i suddenly start saying otp = online typing pal, just go with it okay

sonderland: online…typing…pal… where are you getting this from

toujours_belle: okay so my niece was peeking over my shoulder when i was writing something to you and she asked me what otp meant so i just freaked out and said online typing pal and that’s what you are to me

sonderland: lmaoooooo. only you

toujours_belle: I FREAKED OUT, OKAY?! she’s 7. or maybe 8. either way she’s a CHILD and i’m not going to explain shipping to a child

sonderland: it’s good to see that you’re such a protective aunt. kids grow up so fast, she’ll be out-slanging you in no time

toujours_belle: i really don’t want to think about that

sonderland: hey i still remember when my sister was 7 or 8 and now she’s taller than me

toujours_belle: you have a sister?

sonderland: yeah

toujours_belle: i do too. and a brother. both older

sonderland: hi maknae

toujours_belle: don’t expect me to call you unnie just because of those 3.5 months of age difference

sonderland: i only expect to be called your online typing pal from now on. wow it’s so fun to type online with you, pal. we left pen pals in the dust

toujours_belle: LMAO

sonderland: so are you going to come up with secret code names for mirin, yeseol, etc. now too

toujours_belle: no now i’m just going to glance over my shoulder every other second when my niece is over

sonderland: i hope she hasn’t figured out how to read a pin over someone’s shoulder yet

toujours_belle: omg don’t even. now i’m scared to even take out my phone around her. or my ipad. or my laptop

sonderland: hey you know people used to live without those things and actually just spend time with their family members. they would talk and play physical games and go outside. what an amazing concept

toujours_belle: looooool. i do those things with my niece! we play tag. or hopscotch. or with her barbie mansion. i’m jealous at all the barbie varieties kids have at their disposal these days

sonderland: …of course you are

toujours_belle: barbies are the bomb, okay???

sonderland: i’d like barbies to meet a bomb

toujours_belle: what about when seolrin performed i’m a barbie girl

sonderland: okay that’s different. seolrin is seolrin. she could sing the alphabet song and seasons would yell that she should be nominated for a grammy

toujours_belle: i mean that sounds pretty fair to me. seolrin’s existence itself should win her all the awards

sonderland: amen

nothing but the night (yejeong/mijin/seolrin, dark, r)

Notes: This is for my favourite solstice writer and best friend in the fandom toujours_belle. You inspired me to start writing hajeong for this fandom. If you haven’t yet, make sure you check out her fics!

Now hollow fires burn out to black,
And lights are guttering low:
Square your shoulders, lift your pack,
And leave your friends and go.

O never fear, lads, naught’s to dread,
Look not left nor right:
In all the endless road you tread
There’s nothing but the night

–Alfred Edward Housman

sereniTY: i have a very important question

sonderland: decaf coffee is the devil

sereniTY: well okay that’s also an important question but what i was going to ask is, have you skyped toujours_belle yet

sonderland: no. why?

sereniTY: damn. really?

sonderland: yeah. she never brought it up and neither did i

sereniTY: are you gonna?

sonderland: idk maybe at one point. why, are you planning to

sereniTY: lol yeah right

sonderland: didn’t you talk to her last time? she’s very friendly and open

sereniTY: she is but she’s open in a private way if you know what i mean

sonderland: i think i do but that’s not really the vibe i get from her

sereniTY: maybe she’s different around you

sonderland: well i am her favourite kouhai after all

sereniTY: you’re the kouhai that all kouhais aspire to be. the senpai kouhai

sonderland: indeed that is me. i should get a badge with that printed on it

sereniTY: lol i’ll make you one

sonderland: is there a reason you’re so curious about toujours_belle’s voice and/or face

sereniTY: i mean i’m just curious in general about what writers look and sound like behind their screens

sonderland: very understandable. and you know /we’ve/ never skyped

sereniTY: yeah but at least i know what you look and sound like. plus i have you on snapchat

sonderland: speaking of that, use your snapchat! you never have any stories

sereniTY: i’m a boring story-less person. i have 0 stories on aff and in life

sonderland: wow that sounds so sad i can’t

sereniTY: sorry to bring you down

sonderland: but honestly you have an interesting sense of humour and a way with words. you should consider writing. i’d read your fics

sereniTY: omg senpai kouhai just noticed me. offered to notice me? promised?

sonderland: all of the above. didn’t you want to write a mirin drabble to go with your drawing the other day?

sereniTY: the key word is want

sonderland: want à try à do

sereniTY: wow i feel like i’m back in class

sonderland: except you don’t even need to pay tuition to get access to this beautiful three-step shortcut to success. you’re welcome

sereniTY: i am so…touched

sonderland: as you should be

sereniTY: if you want to skype though i’ve been looking for someone to do a studio ghibli marathon with me

sonderland: I LOVE STUDIO GHIBLI

sereniTY: wow you really must. i never see you use all caps

sonderland: i oppose using the caps lock on principle. but i caved in just now

sereniTY: so yeah let me know when you’re free

sonderland: will do. we can be omps!

sereniTY: omps?

sonderland: online movie pals

sereniTY: is this a new abbreviation? i can’t keep up with the way the kids talk these days

sonderland: lmao you sound like you’re an ahjumma

sereniTY: halmeoni more like it

sonderland: see you at the movies halmeoni

sereniTY: cya

sonderland: btw i am only willing to watch spirited away and the nightmare before christmas once. i don’t care how much you love kaonashi and jack skellington

sereniTY: but

sonderland: no ifs ands or buts

sereniTY: however

sonderland: no. NO. don’t make me break out the caps lock

sereniTY: :( :( :(
