"Do we really have to go to the gym? Why can't we go do something else that doesn't involve lots of physical activity?"

"I'm terrified. Look at how dangerous he is!" she mocked, rolling her eyes. She set down a small box of pizza, holding out her hand with an expectant look. "Next time, please call the pizza delivery guy and let him do his job! Regardless, I either wanna be tipped or I want two slices. You choose." she slid down next to the girl and animal, slinging her feet onto the couch lazily.

"If you didn’t bring the pizza I might have to feed you to Takeru-" Docile tones completely offset the words that slipped from those crimson stained lips, the quirk upwards a clear indication of her amusement as she played with the pug resting lazily against her chest -their home was none other than the blackened leather couch she often called her bed.

Her nose scrunched up slightly at Lisa's giggle, knowing the words she said were pretty childish, but she really didn't know how else to put it. "You know I'm not always that great with words! I honestly have the vocabulary of a seven year old."

Nevertheless, she smiled and helped herself to a cookie. "Ah my fairy godmother. What would I ever do without you to understand my gooey sad feelings?"

Alannah was considered a gem, a lovely and treasured flower within her garden of friends. Lisa could always depend on the latter whenever her mood transfigures from the land of happy days into ground zero. They would always pick up the small fragments of what’s left and piece them together again through Disney films, girl talk, and an abundant of sweets. One of the reasons why she finds herself at Cafe Coco often. Other than the baked goods, there’s always a friend she can turn to whenever coming here.

She couldn’t resist giggling at her friend’s description, even though it wasn’t something to laugh about. That was one of the other things she adored about Alannah, the fact that she can be cute without even knowing it — the greatest kind of natural talent there was.

”And when you’re feeling like a puddle of..slimy, sad goop, you can always come to me… Whenever you feel like being opened and honest about your feelings.”

"You're walking slow again!" she said, turning to face the lumbering male behind her. Her hands placed firmly on her hips with one foot impatiently tapping on the floor, she waited for him to catch up. But he was taking too long, so eventually she rushed forward and grabbed him by the arm, weaving through the bunches of people. 

"You're the one who agreed to take me shopping, so don't chicken out now." 

It wasn't really necessary for her to even go-but with winter ending and spring starting to show up, it was a good time for her to get in some deals before her schedule got too busy-plus it was on the few days she had off to enjoy herself. More than that, she was just happy to spend time with the older male who'd she grown very close to, and happier that he was willing to pretty much spoil her at her own request. Keenan had been a nice refuge from home a lot of the time, when she and her parents clashed or she simply couldn't deal with everything going on at once. He was always willing to lend an ear and give her some advice.

"It'll be fun, I promise. Don't you want me to look pretty for spring?"

{; creeps up behind you. `} Boo!

{ ` jumps with a gasp, turning to see the male and scowling, placing a well earned slap onto his arm with a sigh and then a small smile-her cousin had always been a handful, but he did make her life more interesting when he was around, so she couldn’t complain. }

Scare me to death why don’t you! You’ve always been such a pain in the neck, you know. Anyway, what’s up? Are you bored again?

"Yeah but..." she starts, rubbing her temples with her fingers. It just wasn't that easy anymore. To put her feelings in words-because  she really didn't think about them until she was alone. "It's just complicated. I guess the easiest way for me to say it is that I'm a giant gross puddle of goop. Inconsistent...slimy, and sad."

"No, Alannah." She sets down her half-eaten cookie. "I want you to be opened with me as much as I am with you." Her lips pulled together a miniature smile, one that’s barely existing. "I know you want to be the shoulder of this friendship, but let me be your pillow."

The question caught her a bit off guard, a small flash of panic in her eyes that was hidden quickly. "When did this become about me?" she only shrugged, and watched Lisa eat for a while. "Not really, I guess. There's just too much to do to think about my own feelings, so I just...don't. It hasn't hindered me, so it's not a big deal or anything. I'm fine." 

"Ah, yes." She finally brought the mug to her lips; leaving a latte untouched was a crime that’ll she will never commit. "You always kept me well-fed." After she took a few sips of her lukewarm drink, she went for the cookies that she ordered with her beverage. "Have you ever tried… Doing the thing, you’re advising for me to do?" She takes a bite out of the chewy chocolate chip goodness that was Alannah’s cookies. "Yep, this is the one."

"72? That's perfect!" she clapped her hands together with a sigh of relief, obviously having thought it would cost much more. She fumbled around for her wallet, looking up at the question with a sheepish smile. "That's me. But please, call me Alannah, no formalities needed." her head back down while she rummaged before pulling out the small bag. 

"If I need candy I usually order it, but I had that sudden burst of inspiration and I don't have the time to sit and wait for it all to come in!" she shook her head, sliding her credit card onto the counter. After a moment she hit herself on the forehead with her palm. "Here you are giving me discounts and knowing me, and I don't even really know who you are! I feel really bad about that...."

Sejin was quick to eye the general size of the bag, and while also being good with numbers, he was able to give an estimate within seconds.

"Judging by the size, I think that’d be about 10 kilograms, so about 80 dollars. But if you’re looking to buy that much, I’ll kindly give you a discount. Does 72 dollars sound fair?"

He looked up to her with a grin, his curiosity burning as to why she’d be interested in buying such a large amount.That’s when it clicked, her name and face immediately coming to mind.  "Excuse me if I’m mistaken, but aren’t you Miss Kang… from the cafe down the road?"

The embrace warmly received, she rolled her eyes as the other pushed her way past, gently shutting the door behind her. Despite their age, it seemed like they were eight again, excited for sleep overs. "The princess has finally returned to her kingdom-kinda!" she announced with arms spread wide. "It's been so lonely without you." she pouted, passing by to grab her container of frosting again.  

Even though they had only been apart for a short moment of time, Alannah couldn't help the bits of doubt that toppled into her head. Haylee still seemed the same in their texts, but was she really? Would she be okay still hanging around with her and watching the same movies they always loved? Nonsense, her mind told her. Stop overreacting. She's your best friend, for the love of God! Not everybody changes like that.

"I'm sure I don't have to point out that I over stuffed the kitchen with food-junk and otherwise-so please do help yourself and then fill me in on life, please! What have you been up to the past couple of weeks?" she prodded. "I envy you, really. You must have more free time to actually do things."

girls night in;

haylee couldn’t wait for tonight. time spent with alannah was always time well spent in haylee’s books. they had been friends for so long that it was pretty different from every other friendship that she had. they “talked” everyday, but texts just weren’t quite the same as getting to actually spend time with the younger female. alannah had asked haylee to go over to her place tonight for what she presumed would be a movie night hangout kind of night. though she enjoyed going out, she also loved nights in like these.

she didn’t bother to look pretty. instead, she showed up at the other’s place, bare-faced and in her pajamas. it wasn’t like alannah had never seen her at her worst before. as she got out of her car, she stepped up to the front door, pressing the doorbell. as she heard it resonate through the house, she smiled, knowing that the other would start making her way to get her.

"three, two, one," haylee timed the other’s movements and sure enough, as she finished speaking, the door swung open. "alannah!" haylee squealed as she attacked her friend in a hug. "hurry and let me in. it’s chilly!" she teased as she playfully pushed her way inside the house.

Alannah continued clapping, smiling all the while. "It was wonderful, you were so into it!" Herself, she admired enthusiasm seeing as she often called on that when dealing with others. The lady seemingly had a bright personality, which indeed matched the atmosphere for the sugary store. "Hyo Minyee...Your name is very pretty." she nodded.

"Ah, yeah. Just a late night sugar run. Gotta have those peach rings!" shuffling over to the nearest rack of sweets, she scanned over it while one hand mindlessly picked things up and set them back down. "Oh, what were you singing just now?"

Her face had the split moment of evident shock, but Minyee was one who was always quick to default to her usual wide smile. “I did not hear you at all!” She exclaimed, her eyes darting over the other as she tilted her head, trying to figure out if she knew the other from somewhere or not. She was at the point in her moving that she noticed people, but knew no one. "You liked it?" She said, a giggle forming out of her mouth as she did a finale move for her and than giving a bow. "You have a one in a lifetime viewing of Hyo Minyee’s boredom show!" But, of course, it wasn’t long before she remembered she had a store to run. In the very least she was responsible about selling things. “You want candy?” She asked, her English still a bit weak but her accent was gone enough to be understood.

"See? I know your type all too well." she grinned, but never the less followed after him, expecting to see something (or someone) she didn't know, but again surprised when she was standing in front of Beyonce display. She looked at him from the corner of her eye with an eyebrow raised before picking up the nearest CD-the newest one. "My dear friend, I own it all from her." she laughed. "Bought this the second I had extra money. Try again, yeah?" 

"a girl can like anything, the question is whether she should." he tried to keep a straight face, something that incredibly failed. "yeah you caught me, ‘been a fan since fearless." he shook grinned, amused by her words. she seemed familiar, someone that he might have seen in the college’s halls or the town’s many cafes. but she wasn’t familiar enough for him to recall a name. dante got up from the chair, for the first time in who knows how many hours, and got out from behind the counter. "c’mon." he signaled for her to follow, not taking the time to look back to make sure. near the store’s center was a display of cds and posters. "beyonce."

"Funny, I thought our friendship was based on me feeding you..." she teased while looking at the mug in Lisa's hand,  but nodding seeing that the other girl was cheering up. "You know I always have time for you, so don't hold those emotions in anymore. It's not good for your mental state of mind."

Her breath let out a subdued chuckle, letting it slipped past her tiers as they stretched into a closed-lip grin. “I knew there was something I liked about you. Thanks.”

alannah • trivia

NICKNAME / MIDDLE NAME / FOREIGN NAME:  Though she does prefer to be called Alannah, it can be a mouthful, so Lana usually suffices when somebody is trying to get a hold of her. At home or with her extended family, she's called Haeun, which is what her father originally wanted to name her, but if mama ain't happy, nobody's happy.

LANGUAGES: English and Korean mainly, the latter being because her parents. She understands and speaks Korean rather well, but reading and writing is not up to par. Basic French from high school.

FAVORITE COLOR: Navy Blue

FAVORITE SONG (CURRENTLY): Spotless Mind-Jhene Aiko

FAVORITE BEVERAGE: Snapple's peach iced tea, though she is a sucker for bubble tea once in a while.

PET/S: She had a goldfish when she was eight, but it died two weeks later. When her life settles, she wants to get a dog.

TALENTS: Flexible and a bit athletic due to cheer leading, but her main skill lies in the kitchen, since she never stops eating. She's a pretty decent cook a majority of the time, and consistently tries to make other try what's she's made. Doesn't always end well.

STRENGTH: The ability to listen no matter what. If somebody needs to talk to her or needs somebody to listen to them, she'll drop everything to do so.

WEAKNESS: She has a hard time relinquishing control when she's had it for a long time. Everything she does is very calculated and so when things fall out of her repair, it's difficult for her to deal with.

FASHION/STYLE: Alannah has two styles that are constant, either something casual yet very feminine or lots of black for simplicity.

TRAVEL: The Kang family makes trips to South Korea every couple years. The last time Alannah was there, she was 13. As well, Disney World in Florida, and a couple stops up and down the east coast during the summer.

HAIRSTYLE: Long and black, with one or two gray streaks. Usually worn slightly curled or straight.

HOME: The home itself is very comfortable, with lots of warmer tones of red and brown. Her room is generally pretty neat, a desk near the window that's usually stacked with books, a bookshelf also packed, her bed made (mother's orders) and her laptop lying somewhere in the room depending. Her closet is a mess, though, she hardly ever cleans it and so things are usually all over the place. Her mother keeps her special event things (graduation gown, prom dress, etc) in a smaller closet in the master bedroom, fearing Alannah will lose or damage them.

LOVE/LIFE: She believes everybody deserves to love and to be loved. She wishes for everybody to have that fairytale ending, no matter how tough the beginning, because she thinks true love will generally win. But she's turned off by arrogance and those who take advantage of love for their own selfish purposes. Love is a powerful thing and she thinks it should be regarded as such.

BUCKETLIST: Get married at Disney World-in all seriousness, she wants to expand Cafe Coco and be a better cook by traveling, get married and raise a family.

girls night in;

— hxyleechoi

It had been long, a bit too long for Alannah. In between school and work for the both of them, it had been well over a couple weeks since she had connected with her childhood friend. Of course, they had texted often (Alannah bombarded Haylee with texts during her breaks about how hungry she was) but it wasn't the same as having the living breathing person in front of you to have fun with. So after many attempts and conflicting schedules, they'd finally managed to find a night where neither of them had any obligations but to each other. 

With both of her parents out for the night, Alannah had stocked up on food and movies, and had struggled in moving some of the furniture in the living room away so there was enough room for her to throw down a ton of blankets and pillows, and drag out the stack of movies she had stashed beneath her bed. Dressed in her pajamas and hair already in a messy ponytail for the night, she was ready to go. 

At the sound of the doorbell, she jumped from her position at the counter (scooping frosting into her mouth) and hustled to the door, pulling it open with a smile. "It's about time you got here!"
