Chaeyoung Gets A Goldfish (Michaeng)

“I can’t believe you did it…”

“I know…”

“Dude…I’m an aunt!”

“I know…”

“What are you going to call him?”

“We were thinking: Erik.”

“Oh my God!” Mina finally snapped from the sofa, “It’s a goldfish!”

Dahyun and Chaeyoung exchanged a look, “So?”

Chaeyoung had been buzzing the last few weeks since Mina told her she would let her get a small fishy friend. Recently the building began allowing pets and Chaeyoung had immediately began begging Mina to get one, she’d asked for everything from a puppy to a fennec fox (nobody else knows what that is either) and Mina had stuck with a no. They were still looking into options for having children, they couldn’t look after a pet at the same time. In the end Chaeyoung began instigating ONLY twice a week, none of the interesting stuff. Just straight up vanilla . Which for those two bunny rabbits was as bad as withholding the act. So as a compromise Mina said Chaeyoung could get a fish, they were relatively simple to take care of and took little effort to keep alive.

So the moment Chaeyoung got the okay she sprinted to the pet store.

Dahyun was still scared of leaving the apartment building, her only fresh air coming from the fire escape. So when Chaeyoung got to the store she video called her, wanting her best friend to have input in her new found friend. She always made an effort to help Dahyun feel included, ready for the day she could give her best friend a hug again. When the duo (Chaeyoung and iDahyun) walked in they were immediately distracted by the larger catfish swimming around the larger tanks. Chaeyoung had then asked if Mina would like her to get koi fish, they were Japanese right? Only Mina snatched the phone away from Dahyun (careful not to touch her) and told Chaeyoung that if she brought home anything bigger than her fist she’d punch her with that instead.

Safe to say that was a no on the koi.

They walked to the back of the store, well Chaeyoung did whilst carrying A.I Dahyun. At some point Dahyun acquired a joystick and was pretending to be controlling Chaeyoung whilst yelling “Dance monkey dance!” which drew some odd looks. Eventually, they found the smaller fish swimming happily in their little tanks. At first Chaeyoung was showing Dahyun this brightly coloured, red, fish then she got spoil for choice and showed Dahyun nearly every fish in that section. But then Dahyun spotted something in the background of the phone.

“What about that one?”

“Which one?”

“Over your left shoulder.”

Chaeyoung turned and spotted a goldfish doing little loops in his
