yoo minseok

the exchange student

[/div][/div] [class=box1]width:700px;height: 350px;position: absolute;transition: ease 1s;top: -300px; left:37%; opacity:0; background:url(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/e1/07/f8/e107f83c5472e457a609867e33ab67e4.jpg); background-size:20%; [/class] [div class=box1] [div class=left][div class="scroll"]These last two weeks in America had been… honestly, the best two weeks of his whole entire life.

He was away from the constant struggles and pushing of his family, who just wanted him to always study and to always be making some new discovery in the name of science. It had been two months since his doctors finally convinced his parents to let him explore the world on his own, and from that very moment, his life had just been filled with so much excitement. Min-Seok felt a rush of relief and joy fill his life the moment he received a letter from the university in America, stating that his application for the foreign exchange program had been accepted.

It meant a full year away from his parents. A full year of someone breathing down his neck and making him feel like every single minute of his life where he wasn’t eating or sleeping had to be filled with books or learning. A full year of being able to sit around a dinner table and not talk about the laws of gravitational pull or a mathematical view on cell packing. It was a full year to just explore and figure out the things that he really enjoyed in life, like photography. He had always been interested in film photography and collected cameras back home but had never had the chance to use them. This full-year was finally his chance.

The shutter of the camera flickered as Min-Seok pressed the capture button firmly down. He prayed that he had the correct settings on as he tried to capture a picture of the Ferris wheel as it slowly turned. The sun was beginning to slowly set, fading the blue sky into a cotton candy pink. And there was that feeling again. Excitement. The boys from the dorm rooms had invited him out to go to the carnival which was in town for summer. Having never been to a carnival before (heck, he had never been to an amusement park or fair before either), he was quick to excitedly respond with a ‘heck yeah’.

The cluster of boys stood out the front of the carnival entrance, talking amongst each other as they waited for more of their friends to arrive. “I think we’re just waiting on… uhh…” Isaac, Min-Seok’s dorm buddy, began, looking down at this phone to see his most recent text message. “Gussie and some of her friends… Oh. Ohhh. Min-Seok.” he looked over at the exchange student who was placing his lens cover back onto the camera.

“Yeah?” the boy responded, twisting his backpack around so he could place his camera inside of it.

“Your friend is coming” Isaac said, wagging his brows at the boy. Friend? Min-Seok looked at him with a confused complexion, trying to figure out what the heck he was on about. English was hard, man. He was trying to figure out if he had heard him right or if he was just really bad at translating English. “Augusta is coming”

Augusta.

“Geosi?” he questioned Isaac, his thick Korean accent dripping as he tried to say the girl’s nickname. He hadn’t even attempted to try and say her full name in front of anyone with the fear that he would butcher it. Isaac nodded with a grin on his face, knowing full well that Min-Seok thought the girl was attractive. The first time he had met her, the poor boy’s face was flushed red the whole time and he had practically forgotten how to speak English. Thankfully, every time after seeing her, he was slowly beginning to warm up to her. The nerves were still there, but he was managing to actually speak properly and his face wouldn’t burn up like a tomato anymore.

Besides, there was no point in even attempting anything with any girl while in America. He was going to be going home in less than a year. It was pointless, wasn’t it?

That was the theme, or motto, of the day's outing at the local fair, set before they had even left the apartment. Gussie and her three roommates, aka her tik-tok co-stars, had woken up around noon, ate breakfast and planned what they were going to do at the carnival.

Honestly, there wasn't really much to plan considering most of the list was comprised of eating various carnival foods, but they added a few games and some rides, mainly for video footage/content purposes. Gussie was going to go on rides no matter what. Rides were fun. Who cares if she threw up after?

The four girls had left for the fair a few hours before they were planning to meet their guy friends since they wanted to explore on their own first. Knowing how idiotic and clumsy her three best friends were, Augusta figured she'd get prime content to upload later on.

And sure enough, within the first 10 minutes of entering the fair grounds, Bethany had spilled her lemonade all over herself, Alexia dropped her ice cream face down onto the dirt and Gussie herself got powdered sugar all over her shirt. The only one spared was Kira and therefore, she took it upon herself to be the designated food carrier and drink holder since she was "less of a hot mess" than the others.

Well, she wasn't spared for much longer. Around an hour later, it was finally fries before guys time and they bought a large bucket of fries to split between the four of them. After finishing nearly half of the bucket, Gussie walked away a few in order to film the other three shoving fries in each other's mouths. Apparently, seagulls took open fry buckets as free real estate because the second Kira moved the bucket slightly away from herself, a seagull swooped down and stole one.

Then several more seagulls followed suit and Kira took off, still clutching the fry bucket and running for dear life. Somehow, Augusta managed to capture the whole thing on video and ran after Kira who was now screaming and swatting at the seagulls. "Drop the bucket!" Gussie yelled through her laughter. Thankfully, Kira listened and the second she dropped the bucket, the seagulls swarmed that and left the girl alone.

It took a while to calm Kira down, mainly due to the other three girls breaking into hysterics every time they thought about it. By the time everyone was calm enough, it was a few minutes past the time they were supposed to meet the guys and they set off, each keeping a lookout for the place they were supposed to meet. Eventually, Bethany spotted Isaac, Min-Seok and a few of the others standing by the entrance and they made their way over.

"Hey fries," Gussie greeted as they arrived, and then her eyes widened in disbelief over the fact that she called them fries instead of guys. "Oops. Hey guys," she corrected herself, finishing with a chuckle. She could hear Bethany and Alexia chuckling behind her and decided to explain more. "Sorry we're late. Kira got attacked by some seagulls and it took a while to calm her down." [/div] [/div][/div] [/div]

[/div][/div] [class=box1]width:700px;height: 350px;position: absolute;transition: ease 1s;top: -300px; left:37%; opacity:0; background:url(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/e1/07/f8/e107f83c5472e457a609867e33ab67e4.jpg); background-size:20%; [/class] [div class=box1] [div class=left][div class="scroll"]It was as if saying her name had summoned her. Because moments after saying her nickname, the said girl and her friends were standing before them in bright spirits. A wide grin fell onto Min-Seok’s face as he saw them approach, feeling rather excited that he was about to experience a carnival for the very first time. Not to mention it was an American carnival. There was food and experiences here that he would have no chance of seeing or eating back home in Korea.

Hearing Gussie’s slip up over calling them fries instead of guys got the boy grinning even wider and covering his mouth for a moment with his hand in an attempt to push away the chuckle that had been forming. He didn’t want to make fun of any language mistakes because, well, he still struggled with English from time to time. However, it was Gussie’s next statement that made that grin fall from his face and his hands fall by his side. Min-Seok’s eyes widened in both fear and shock upon hearing that Kira got attacked by seagulls. Wait. Seagulls attacked people here in America?! Well, Gussie said that they had to calm down Kira. You would only have to calm someone down if they were seriously threatened, right?

Min-Seok whacked Isaac’s arm with three beats to get the boy’s attention. “Seagulls attack here?” he asked, full of concern. “Seagulls. Birds from the beach, right? They attack people in America?”

Isaac grinned widely before releasing a soft chuckle. “No, no. I mean… not really.” he responded only to chuckle more at Min-Seok’s eyes as they widened even more. “No, I think what Gussie meant is that like… the seagulls were after their food. Like, chased Kira down for her food. They didn’t actually physically attack her, you know?”

Oh… Oh!

It was finally making a lot more sense now! His dark eyes travelled over to the poor girl who had been attacked by the said seagulls and gave her a sympathetic look. He knew what it felt like to be attacked by seagulls. Plenty of times he had been to the Busan beach where the seagulls just got a bit too friendly and attempted to nibble at your food. The very last time he went on a school trip, he had lost a whole Chocopie as the seagull came and swooped it out of his hands.

“Awww, poor Ki-rah!” he said to the girl with a pout. “I bet the girls just filmed you for their… tok tikker, didn’t they?” Min-Seok added, playfully grinning at Gussie as if to give a mischievous, cheeky stab at the girl.

Okay, so he didn’t know what Tik Tok was. What he did know was that Gussie was always filming stuff. He had discovered that from the moment he met her. He learnt fairly soon afterwards that she was always filming because she had a Tik Tok account which she had a massive follower count. And to him, he didn’t think much of it. Then again, this was the man who didn’t have Instagram or Facebook because his parents would never let him have it. He had been thinking about setting up one since he was far away from his family and friends in Korea. But where would he start?! He had no clue and well, he was too damn embarrassed to admit that someone who had an IQ of 146 and eligible to get a membership to Mensa was struggling with something as so simple as opening a social media account.

She looked over at him with a grin, however, that grin soon faded when she saw the actual fear in his eyes.

It was then she realized that she probably should have explained the story better. Most Americans would instantly know that she meant the seagulls were attacking the food and not a person randomly, but someone from a different country probably would not and would automatically assume that seagulls attack here.

Gussie shook her head quickly, intending to explain everything and put it right but was beaten too it by Isaac. "Right. Yeah, that's what I meant," she replied. "Sorry, I should have explained it better. Or, well... differently. See, we had a bucket of french fries and the second Kira's hand wasn't covering it, the seagulls swooped in to get some fries."

Just thinking about the whole fry incident again had her grinning broadly. She looked back to Kira when Min-Seok mentioned her, wanting to see her friends reaction. Then she heard tok-tikker.

And then she was deceased.

No, not really. But she was absolutely dying internally and was working very hard to keep any hint of laughter off of her face. She also went so far as to bite her tongue so hard that it drew blood in order to prevent any hint of a laugh from escaping. It was only when she felt composed enough not to break into giggles the second she opened her mouth that she started talking.

"Tik-tok," Gussie corrected gently, "and yes, we were filming. But we weren't intending for Kira to get attacked," They definitely weren't. "The original idea was for me to film and the others to shove as many fries as they could into each others mouths, but the seagulls had a different plan in mind." Clearly.

Then she had an idea. "Okay, you know what?" She looked back towards the fair and then back to the rest of the group before speaking again. "Shookie, you're coming with me and whoever else wants to come. You desperately need a social media 101 lesson and theres no better place for that than the fair, especially for the pictures. Let's go."

She wasn't going to take no as an answer. He was coming with her no matter what. [/div] [/div][/div] [/div]

She was going to give him a social media 101 lesson? Well, at least he didn’t have to embarrass himself and ask for help. This way it almost felt like it was her idea. Well, it was her idea. But he thought about getting an account for a while just… didn’t want to ask for help.

Back home, it was odd. Because he never had people ask him about his facebook and Instagram accounts. He never had people say to him ‘I’ll add you on Facebook’ or ‘What your Instagram handle?’. It was always ‘I’ll message you on Kakao Talk’. And then again, that was when people wanted to talk to him which was… usually only for group projects. Yes, it was sad that he didn’t have many friends back home. And it was going to be even sadder when he left to go back home because he was already making so many good friends here. But that was just how life works out to be like, right?

A chuckle slipped past his lips as he heard her determination in her voice. “Oh really?” he responded with a wide grin on his face. He took a couple of strides towards Gussie, wrapping his arm around her shoulders (with full intentions of giving her a noogie, but thought that may have been too mean). “Come on then social media queen. Show me your ways” he cooed at her, his index finger on one cheek and his thumb on the other, squishing her face to give her ‘fish lips’.

Ah man, he was feeling blessed that he was finally having the opportunity for skinship. Everyone he knew back in Korea just seemed to have some sort of issue with touching. Not Min-Seok. It was his love language. He loved a good snuggle or someone patting his back. So, I suppose it was one of many reasons why he struggled growing up. You know; Mummy and Daddy issues. Mummy never hugged me, Daddy never said he was proud of me. But since coming to America, he was beginning to notice that a lot of people here were okay with this whole touching thing. The boys would stand around cuddling one and another while the girls would hold hands or link arms as they walked. It was like some sort of physical touch paradise for him.

It was at this very moment also that Min-Seok saw something that caught his eye. A man and woman walking by, eating to what Min-Seok thought was a corn dog. However, as the man pulled away from his food, there was a trail of chocolate following afterwards. A fried snickers bar on a stick; but he didn’t know that. In fact, he was highly intrigued by it. Never had he ever seen anything like it before. “Ahhh,” he began, trying to remember the correct words as he removed his hand from Gussie’s face and pointed towards the couple who walked with their fried snickers. “What is that? Is that like… uhhh… Chocolate corn dog?” [/div][/div] [div class=right][div class="scroll"] [div class=h3]유민석[/div] [div class=h1]mood[/div] [div class=h2]help me out social media queen[/div] [div class=h1]location[/div] [div class=h2]carnival![/div] [div class=h1]tag[/div] [div class=h2] erised [/div] [div class=h1]outfit[/div] [div class=h2]click me![/div] [/div][/div] [/div] [class=bg]width:100%; height:450px; background-color: #b0aba7; postion:relative; margin:auto;cursor: url(https://66.media.tumblr.com/232c090ebdd37ae4bc17adb54e1e0344/tumblr_inline_ol4nwhvSwg1uxxza6_75sq.png), auto!important;[/class] [class=film]width:100%; height:450px; background:url(https://www.transparenttextures.com/patterns/black-felt.png); background-size:20%;[/class] [class=pic1]width:300px; height:350px; background:url(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/c2/e7/32/c2e73240db21ae0b54de1fedab8c4118.jpg); background-size:cover; position:absolute; top:40px; left:28%; transform:rotate(-5deg); border: 10px solid white; box-shadow: 10px 10px 5px grey; transition:1s;[/class] [class name=pic1 state=hover]background:url(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/18/44/1a/18441adae12b990a097d1ebc9a164806.jpg); background-size:cover; transition:1s;[/class] [class=note]width:500px; height:193px; background:url(https://i.imgur.com/xq25HDZ.png); background-size:cover; position:absolute; top:160px; left:44%; transform:rotate(5deg); cursor: url('https://i.imgur.com/8akxkMH.png'), auto !important;[/class] [class name=scroll]width: 100%;height: 98%; overflow: hidden;box-sizing: content-box;padding-right:50px;padding-left:5px; left: -2px;overflow-Y: scroll;overflow-X: hidden; [/class] [class=left]width:480px; height:330px; padding:10px; overflow:hidden; position:absolute; top:0px; background-color:rgb(234, 234, 234, 0.5); font-family:Karla; font-size:13px; color:black;[/class] [class=right]width:180px; height:330px; padding:10px; overflow:hidden; position:absolute; top:0px; left:500px; border-left:1px solid rgb(224, 224, 224, 0.8); background-color:rgb(234, 234, 234, 0.5)[/class] [class=h1]font-family:Gochi Hand; font-size:22px; margin-top:10px; text-align:center; color:black;[/class] [class=h2]font-family:Karla; font-size:12px; color:black;text-align:center; margin-top:-5px;[/class] [class=h3]font-family:Nanum Pen Script; font-size:56px; text-align:center; margin-bottom:-30px; margin-top:-20px; color:black;[/class] [class=slidebox1]opacity:1;top: 40px;transition: ease 2s;[/class] [class=slidebox2]opacity:1;left: 11%;transition: ease 2s;[/class] [script class=note on=click] if (eq ${open} 0) (addClass slidebox1 box1) if (eq ${open} 0) (addClass slidebox2 pic1) if (eq ${open} 0) (removeClass note)[/script]

She wouldn't have said it if she didn't actually mean it. Based on what she'd seen so far, Min-Seok desperately needed social media bootcamp and training. Maybe several of those.

Her eyes widened in surprise when she felt his arm around her shoulder, having not been paying attention and therefore not expecting it. However, she recovered quickly. "Yes, I am the social media queen," she nodded, "bow down to me, peasants."

Before she could say anything else, her cheeks were squished together which effectively cut off all words. She could make this face on her own, however, found that sucking her cheeks in that much in order to form the proper shape with her lips actually hurt. So having someone else do it for her made a nice change.

Not that she made this face all that often. No way. But when she did make it, it always hurt. Out of the corner of her eye, she could see her friends take their phones out in order to take a picture of the scene unfolding in front of them and Gussie quickly sent each of them death glares. Whether or not they listened, well, she'd find out soon enough. It would just be a taste of her own medicine though, considering all of the embarrassing videos she takes of them and then uploads online.

She was still in the glaring process when Min-Seok removed his hand and she turned her head to look over at what he pointed to. And, despite having been born and raised in the USA, she had no idea what that was. "I don't think so," She shook her head. "A corndog is a hotdog dipped in cornbread batter and deep fried. That doesn't really look like the shape of a hotdog."

Augusta still didn't know what it was, even after staring for it a bit longer. "The thing with American fairs is that, in terms of deep frying, it's a free for all. All food is fair game," Why that was the case, she still had no idea. "People deep fry everything—oreos, ice cream, candy bars, cheesecake, avocado, even butter." The fact that deep fried butter was a thing and the fact that people actually ate it absolutely boggled her.

"Based on the shape of what you pointed to, it's probably either a deep fried candy bar or deep fried cheesecake," She knew she was correct in that assumption. "I've never had either, though. The only deep fried things I've had are oreos and ice cream, both of which are amazing." And even though she'd been eating pretty much all day, she was hungry again.

Gussie then grabbed Min-Seok's hand. "C'mon, Minnie mouse," she said and began to walk forwards, dragging him along, "I'm going to get fried oreos, and you're going to get some too. Then you're going to order whatever other fried thing you want to try, besides butter." She'd put her foot down there. [/div] [/div][/div] [/div]

Min-Seok’s eyes widened as he heard the girl’s rambling on the different types of food in which they fried in America. Sure, in Korea they fried food. But it was more like meats or vegetables and such. But to deep fry ice-cream, avocado or even butter?! Who the hell would even think of such a thing?! They must’ve been a maniac to think that it was a good idea. Well, apparently it was a good idea because so many people were eating it around here.

He dropped his arm from Augusta’s shoulders as he looked around himself once again to see even more people eating the said deep-fried foods. Oh man. He didn’t know if he should feel sick or curious about it all. Could he feel both about it? I mean, the thought of deep-fried butter. Oh, God. The boy scrunched up his face in disgust as Augusta continued to explain the only deep-fried things she had managed to eat.

And then he felt a hand taking hold of his own.

His dark eyes quickly looked towards his hand to see what was happening before looking up to see who was actually holding his hand. Ah, okay. So, this was okay? He knew that putting his arm around her shoulder was okay because he had done it before. But… holding hands was okay too? I mean, this was his first real-time being allowed to show skin-ship around people he considered to be his friends. He was still learning the different boundaries and rules.

As she began to drag him towards the direction of the food, Min-Seok’s eyes widened slightly. Oh, they were going to try the food that was probably going to make him vomit or poop – or if he was lucky, do both at the same time? That’s great. With a quick glance over his shoulder, Min-Seok saw Isaac with a giant grin on his face and giving him thumbs up. Okay…? In return, Min-Seok gave him a confused face and a thumbs up too. Was there something he was missing? Ah well.

Bringing his attention back to in front of himself, he gazed from Augusta to the area around them. The flashing neon lights began to outshine the pink and orange sunset in the sky. There were families, friends, lovers and all sorts of people running around, participating in rides, eating various foods, and taking time to just be with one and another. A warm smile came to his face as he could feel his heart swell. This was what he had always craved for. To be out and about with the people he cared about and just experiencing life together.

As they walked along, various intriguing smells began to hit his nose. Looking around to see where the smells had originated from, his eyes landed on a stall that seemed to be selling the deep-fried Oreos that she had mentioned before. Giving her hand a soft squeeze to grab her attention, he pointed over to the said stall. “Fried Oreos?” he asked, looking over at the sign before looking back at her with an excited smile. “You were talking about that, weren’t you?” [/div][/div] [div class=right][div class="scroll"] [div class=h3]유민석[/div] [div class=h1]mood[/div] [div class=h2]omg all the foooood[/div] [div class=h1]location[/div] [div class=h2]carnival![/div] [div class=h1]tag[/div] [div class=h2] erised [/div] [div class=h1]outfit[/div] [div class=h2]click me![/div] [/div][/div] [/div] [class=bg]width:100%; height:450px; background-color: #b0aba7; postion:relative; margin:auto;cursor: url(https://66.media.tumblr.com/232c090ebdd37ae4bc17adb54e1e0344/tumblr_inline_ol4nwhvSwg1uxxza6_75sq.png), auto!important;[/class] [class=film]width:100%; height:450px; background:url(https://www.transparenttextures.com/patterns/black-felt.png); background-size:20%;[/class] [class=pic1]width:300px; height:350px; background:url(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/c2/e7/32/c2e73240db21ae0b54de1fedab8c4118.jpg); background-size:cover; position:absolute; top:40px; left:28%; transform:rotate(-5deg); border: 10px solid white; box-shadow: 10px 10px 5px grey; transition:1s;[/class] [class name=pic1 state=hover]background:url(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/18/44/1a/18441adae12b990a097d1ebc9a164806.jpg); background-size:cover; transition:1s;[/class] [class=note]width:500px; height:193px; background:url(https://i.imgur.com/xq25HDZ.png); background-size:cover; position:absolute; top:160px; left:44%; transform:rotate(5deg); cursor: url('https://i.imgur.com/8akxkMH.png'), auto !important;[/class] [class name=scroll]width: 100%;height: 98%; overflow: hidden;box-sizing: content-box;padding-right:50px;padding-left:5px; left: -2px;overflow-Y: scroll;overflow-X: hidden; [/class] [class=left]width:480px; height:330px; padding:10px; overflow:hidden; position:absolute; top:0px; background-color:rgb(234, 234, 234, 0.5); font-family:Karla; font-size:13px; color:black;[/class] [class=right]width:180px; height:330px; padding:10px; overflow:hidden; position:absolute; top:0px; left:500px; border-left:1px solid rgb(224, 224, 224, 0.8); background-color:rgb(234, 234, 234, 0.5)[/class] [class=h1]font-family:Gochi Hand; font-size:22px; margin-top:10px; text-align:center; color:black;[/class] [class=h2]font-family:Karla; font-size:12px; color:black;text-align:center; margin-top:-5px;[/class] [class=h3]font-family:Nanum Pen Script; font-size:56px; text-align:center; margin-bottom:-30px; margin-top:-20px; color:black;[/class] [class=slidebox1]opacity:1;top: 40px;transition: ease 2s;[/class] [class=slidebox2]opacity:1;left: 11%;transition: ease 2s;[/class] [script class=note on=click] if (eq ${open} 0) (addClass slidebox1 box1) if (eq ${open} 0) (addClass slidebox2 pic1) if (eq ${open} 0) (removeClass note)[/script]

Nope. She was a girl on a mission.

And that mission was food.

She stopped quite abruptly when they reached the food area and turned to look at the signs on top of each of the stalls. Onion rings, cotton candy, funnel cake, lemonade, chicken legs. These were just some of the various food options sold at the stalls, and while each was tempting, they weren't the ones she was looking for.

After a minute or so more of searching, she finally found it; the fried desserts section. Before she could say anything regarding it, she felt a squeeze on her hand and looked down and then up at Minnie. Gussie nodded when she heard his question. "Yep. Those are the fried oreos. And we're going to go get some."

Then she was back to dragging him. Thankfully, the line to order the oreos was short and in no time, she was placing the order. "I just got one order to start with," she began as they moved to the side to wait. "and you're gonna try it. If you like it, we'll get another order. If you don't like it, don't worry."

But the more she thought about it, the more she realized how strange this sounded and how badly she explained it. He was probably thinking the people were going to just drop a packet of oreos straight into a deep frier and then they'd eat them like that.

"Wait," Gussie started, "I think I explained them wrong. The oreos are dipped in sweet cake-like batter before being dropped into the frier," she racked her brains for something he'd understand. "Think of it as oreo tempura. They're dipped in sweet tempura batter before frying."

There. Hopefully that made more sense. When her name was called, she grabbed grabbed the small basket, thanked the staff member and began to walk. "C'mon, Shookie, let's go eat these." At the very first free table she saw, she dropped her ass down, grabbed an oreo and took a bit, not caring about how hot it was. "Oh, yeah. You'll definitely like these." [/div] [/div][/div] [/div]

yoo minseok

[/div][/div] [class=box1]width:700px;height: 350px;position: absolute;transition: ease 1s;top: -300px; left:37%; opacity:0; background:url(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/e1/07/f8/e107f83c5472e457a609867e33ab67e4.jpg); background-size:20%; [/class] [div class=box1] [div class=left][div class="scroll"]Min-Seok was in absolute awe.

As they stood before the food truck, his eyes gazed up to see all the various selections that they could go for. Wait. How was this done? Did they just drop the Oreo straight into the deep frier? Wouldn’t it take disgusting? Like… taste like fries? His face did involuntarily scrunch up at the thought of eating an Oreo that resembled a McDonalds French fry but quickly shook it off. He needed to try to new things; be open to trying new experiences. That’s what his therapist had told him at least.

Hearing Gussie’s voice, explaining how the Oreos were made, Min-Seok brought his attention back to her. His eyes were wide and his mouth slightly agape as he took in all this new information for the first time. “Ohhh…” slipped past through his mouth as she explained to him how it was dipped into a sweet batter before going into the frier. “So it will not taste like McDonald French fry. Ok. Good. I think I will like it.” he nodded as he spoke, agreeing to himself with his prediction. If he thought about it now, that he liked it, then he was going to have a positive outlook while eating it, right?

Once they had their basket of food and stationed themselves at the first table that they could find, Min-Seok observed how Augusta just went straight into it. Isaac and one of the other girls sat down at the table with their own Oreos, Isaac with his phone out and ready to get Min-Seok’s first taste of the fried Oreo. “Are you excited?” The boy asked the exchange student.

Min-Seok smiled widely at the boy’s face which was covered by the phone as he recorded him. “About food? I am always excited about food” he responded with a chuckle. He reached forward to the basket and took one of the Oreo’s. And just like Augusta, put it straight into his mouth. And he was not expecting how damn hot it was going to be. His mouth hung open as he let out a little “Ahh” in the pure horror that he didn’t realise how hot it was going to be.

“You okay?” Isaac asked, snickering behind the camera. Min-Seok began to fan his open mouth, mumbling curse words in Korean to himself before the Oreo was finally cool enough to slide down his throat. Once he finally swallowed it, he released a huge sigh of relief, melting into his chair with a hand upon his chest. Isaac couldn’t contain the snickers as he watched the boy react to such heat. “You okay, Minnie? Was it a bit too hot?” he asked

“Ahhhh, I did not know how hot the inside is” Min-Seok stated, holding the other half of the Oreo he was yet to eat up to show Isaac. “It is so cool on outside. Why not inside ahh…shit…” He ended off his sentence with a swear in Korean. However, his eyes widened at the realisation that he had just sworn while his friend was recording. “Aishh. Isaac-eu! Do not let my Umma see this video! She will hit me for swearing so much!” he said firmly, putting a threatening index finger up to his friend. “You swear Isaac-eu”

“I’m sending this straight to Korea” was the sassy response he got back from his friend.

“You want me to die?” he asked his friend, raising his brow before shaking his head and resorting to Korean. “Aishhh, these boys. They are so full of shit.” he grumbled in his native tongue to which caused Isaac to chuckle a ‘stop itttt’ before nudging his shoulder.

Or at least Gussie hoped they wouldn't, because then it would be a very disappointing fried oreo. But thankfully, it didn't taste like a french fry. She probably should have cared about how hot it was considering she could feel her throat blistering as she swallowed, but she managed to keep a brave face. She was vaguely aware of Isaac pulling out his phone to record all this but didn't care because the oreos were too good.

She had just broke the oreo in half to let the steam out when she saw Minnie copy herald just pop it into his mouth. Uh-oh. And uh-oh was right, because he looked like he was about to explode. "Oh, fuck," she began, dropping the oreo back into the holder thing. "Sorry, I should've warned you about how hot it was going to be."

She definitely did not set a good example, just popping it straight into her mouth like it was nothing. Gussie looked at Isaac when he asked if Minseok was okay, brows raised in a way as if to say 'isn' it obvious that he's not okay?' "It traps the heat internally," she explained. "I have no patience when it comes to waiting for food so I just pop it in right away, no matter how hot it is. I guess I've built a tolerance to the heat."

And it was clear that neither Gussie nor Isaac knew what 'Umma' meant since when she looked at him in confusion, found her expression mirrored. But then she laughed and leaned over to look at her friend's phone. "Too late, its already been sent to Korea."

Augusta picked up the now cool half of oreo from earlier and began to eat it. "Speaking of Korea, what's it like?" she asked while chewing. "Like, is it similar to here? Do you have big cities? What's the food like?" She made sure to keep the questions generic and not personal. She felt as if she hadn't known him long enough to ask the personal questions.

"I know Korea has a huge music scene," She knew a little about K-Pop. "I mean, everyone knows BTS, and Blackpink is pretty big in the US. But then I know a few more groups like The Boyz, Got7, Seventeen and Kard because they all have members that grew up here, so the groups are well known." That was the extent of her Korean knowledge and she wanted to learn more. [/div] [/div][/div] [/div]

Not big as in long but big as in like… up to sky? In America, you have big buildings too but… long? You have much more room. Korea is uh… very small country compared to America. And you don’t have PC rooms here?”

“What’s a PC Room?” Isaac asked, confused as he stopped the video recording and placed his phone upon the table.

“PC Room uh… Like… café? Big café with a lot of computers. Everyone goes there together and play online games together or use the internet” he explained to his new friend, hoping it made some sort of sense.

“Like an internet café?”

“Yes! But uh… Lots and lots of computers. And gamer chairs… And headsets too. It’s like a uh… arcade? But for PC games or for any internet stuff.”

He heard Isaac’s ‘ahh’, which was a confirmation that the boy understood what he was on about. Oh, thank God he was starting to sound like he was making some sort of sense. Min-Seok grinned widely at the boy before bringing his attention back to Gussie who was asking about music. As she mentioned the various K-Pop bands, his brows raised, and his eyes widened in surprise. “Oh! You know?” he asked in slight shock. Sure, he knew people knew BTS and Black Pink here. But as she began to list all the other various K-Pop bands, that was the surprise to him.

“I uh… I saw Kard play before I came to America.” he pointed out to Gussie. “Like… a couple of weeks before? And uhh… Very good. They were very good. Big Matthew is bias.” he then uncrossed his arms and pretended to grope his own chest. “Big tittie committee. I want to be apart of that group.” he chuckled before crossing his arms over once again.

“The what?!” Isaac asked, his eyes widening with confusion and looking back and forth between Gussie and Min-Seok.

Min-Seok looked over at Gussie with a playfully stern look upon his face. “Don’t tell him. It’s more fun that way” he jokingly warned the girl. “Big tittie committee stays between Minnie and Geosi, okay?”

Isaac leant over and gave Min-Seok a playful nudge, both of the boys chuckling at one another. Ah, man… it felt great to be able to just mess around with people. He wondered what his life would’ve been like had he had someone like Isaac while growing up. Someone to mess around with and to make jokes. Grinning from ear to ear, Min-Seok looked from Isaac back over to Gussie. “Will the food still be too hot and burn my mouth, or is it okay to eat now?” he asked her, shifting in his chair and leaning his arms against the table before him. “You must have mouth of steel to just… nom! Right into your mouth! Aiishh… I wish I had your ability. I almost cried.” [/div][/div] [div class=right][div class="scroll"] [div class=h3]유민석[/div] [div class=h1]mood[/div] [div class=h2]big tittie committee[/div] [div class=h1]location[/div] [div class=h2]carnival![/div] [div class=h1]tag[/div] [div class=h2] erised [/div] [div class=h1]outfit[/div] [div class=h2]click me![/div] [/div][/div] [/div] [class=bg]width:100%; height:450px; background-color: #b0aba7; postion:relative; margin:auto;cursor: url(https://66.media.tumblr.com/232c090ebdd37ae4bc17adb54e1e0344/tumblr_inline_ol4nwhvSwg1uxxza6_75sq.png), auto!important;[/class] [class=film]width:100%; height:450px; background:url(https://www.transparenttextures.com/patterns/black-felt.png); background-size:20%;[/class] [class=pic1]width:300px; height:350px; background:url(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/c2/e7/32/c2e73240db21ae0b54de1fedab8c4118.jpg); background-size:cover; position:absolute; top:40px; left:28%; transform:rotate(-5deg); border: 10px solid white; box-shadow: 10px 10px 5px grey; transition:1s;[/class] [class name=pic1 state=hover]background:url(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/18/44/1a/18441adae12b990a097d1ebc9a164806.jpg); background-size:cover; transition:1s;[/class] [class=note]width:500px; height:193px; background:url(https://i.imgur.com/xq25HDZ.png); background-size:cover; position:absolute; top:160px; left:44%; transform:rotate(5deg); cursor: url('https://i.imgur.com/8akxkMH.png'), auto !important;[/class] [class name=scroll]width: 100%;height: 98%; overflow: hidden;box-sizing: content-box;padding-right:50px;padding-left:5px; left: -2px;overflow-Y: scroll;overflow-X: hidden; [/class] [class=left]width:480px; height:330px; padding:10px; overflow:hidden; position:absolute; top:0px; background-color:rgb(234, 234, 234, 0.5); font-family:Karla; font-size:13px; color:black;[/class] [class=right]width:180px; height:330px; padding:10px; overflow:hidden; position:absolute; top:0px; left:500px; border-left:1px solid rgb(224, 224, 224, 0.8); background-color:rgb(234, 234, 234, 0.5)[/class] [class=h1]font-family:Gochi Hand; font-size:22px; margin-top:10px; text-align:center; color:black;[/class] [class=h2]font-family:Karla; font-size:12px; color:black;text-align:center; margin-top:-5px;[/class] [class=h3]font-family:Nanum Pen Script; font-size:56px; text-align:center; margin-bottom:-30px; margin-top:-20px; color:black;[/class] [class=slidebox1]opacity:1;top: 40px;transition: ease 2s;[/class] [class=slidebox2]opacity:1;left: 11%;transition: ease 2s;[/class] [script class=note on=click] if (eq ${open} 0) (addClass slidebox1 box1) if (eq ${open} 0) (addClass slidebox2 pic1) if (eq ${open} 0) (removeClass note)[/script]

She figured he was talking about how Korea has a lot of skyscrapers. They had some here, and the buildings were certainly tall, but they were pretty wide and most were nowhere near as tall as skyscrapers. It was a different story in New York City, however.

She was just about to ask what in the hell a PC room was when Isaac beat her to it. Yeah, those didn't exist here. Sure, they had gaming conventions where those things were brought to the venue for the competition, but there were no cafe's dedicated to that particular purpose. Maybe they existed in the US when laptops weren't a thing, but she hadn't heard of one since.

Her brows raised when Minseok mentioned Matthew from Kard, and how he apparently calls himself Big Matthew. "Big Matthew?" she asked, voicing her thoughts. "He calls himself that? We just call him Matthew." Why in the world would he call himself Big Matthew? "And what's a bias?"

Then came the big tiddy committee, and then she nearly choked which successfully drove all thoughts of Matthew out of her mind. When she recovered, she laughed before stuffing another piece of the cookie into her mouth. "Yeah, I too want to be part of that group," Because, well... she wasn't, sadly. "And don't worry, I won't tell him."

Gussie felt the oreos with the back of her hand, checking the temperature. "Nah, it won't burn anymore. They've cooled off, so they won't burn anymore." At least, she hoped they wouldn't. "I wouldn't say I have a mouth of steel," she countered, "I guess I've just eaten so many hot things that I have no feeling left in my mouth." Which would really suck if it were true.

"But, to answer your earlier question, yeah, I know those K-pop groups, BTS especially," And that wasn't because they were well known by everyone. "I took an intermediate hip hop class for one of my gen ed classes last year, and we learned the dances to two older BTS songs. Dangerous and Boy in Love." Though she wasn't sure if those were the actual titles. And they weren't.

"It was fun. For the final project, we filmed us doing all of the dances we learned, around seven in total I think," It might've been more or less, she couldn't remember. "And for each dance, we dressed like the artists did in the music video. I remember for the BTS ones, we were wearing punk rock clothes with hella dark makeup and then ripped school uniforms."

If he asked to see the videos, she'd outright refuse. Also, she had no idea where the videos were, so there's that. "We each took a part. For Boy in Love I had the part of the guy who sings right after the intro with the deep and raspy voice. I think he sings something with the word 'gunde' in it."

Wow, she was so good at explaining. "And then for Dangerous, I had the part of the one who raps second after the chorus. Don't know his name but he was one of the shortest and acted like he threw an invisible baseball in the practice video we watched."

Gussie had no idea what any of their names were, which made the explanation that much harder. Plus, she absolutely sucked ass at explaining, so there's that. [/div] [/div][/div] [/div]

[/div][/div] [class=box1]width:700px;height: 350px;position: absolute;transition: ease 1s;top: -300px; left:37%; opacity:0; background:url(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/e1/07/f8/e107f83c5472e457a609867e33ab67e4.jpg); background-size:20%; [/class] [div class=box1] [div class=left][div class="scroll"]A grin fell upon Min-Seok’s face as Augusta raised her brow in confusion in regards to Matthew’s stage name. Not to mention that she didn’t understand what a bias was. Oh, how lovely it was to be in a place where K-Pop didn’t take over the mind of every young individual. Sure, he loved listening to K-Pop and had a lot of groups which he followed. But some of the people he went to school with only had one focus, and that was to become famous. They changed everything about themselves, in hopes that some entertainment company would snatch them up one day and they would be big and famous. But hearing Gussie ask what a bias was, that grin fell onto his face because he saw that look of confusion on hers, and the only thing he could think of was how cute she looked.

“His stage name is BM. Which means Big Matthew” he first explained before diving into what bias meant. “Bias… it’s like uh… Your favourite member in the group. So… Matthew is my bias for KARD – he is my favourite. And then in BTS, Suga is my bias. But out of all the K-Pop bands, out of everything I listen to, Zico is my ultimate bias. So, he’s my favourite out of everyone” Oh man, he hoped he was getting things right. Otherwise, he was probably making a huge ass out of himself.

As Gussie almost died from choking on her food, falling into a spiral of laughter, the grin on Min-Seok’s face only grew. He could feel his face starting to heat up. Oh man, he was blushing over the fact that he had made her laugh. Such simple things, right? His smile remained there as Gussie explained to him that the food would be good to eat once more – and that it wouldn’t burn his mouth off like the first one had. Well, thank God for that. He reached over to grab a new one, tearing it in half so he didn’t freaking burn his mouth like last time.

But before he could pop it into his mouth, he paused hearing Augusta’s voice. His brows rose in curiosity as she explained how she did a hip hop class last year and learnt the various dances from BTS. His mouth hung slightly hearing the story, and his eyes were wide as he was fully invested in this story. He had to see that footage. The thought of the girl before him pretending not only to be Taehyung but also Yoongi – his bias from the group – was like heaven. “Oh! You were Yoongi for Danger?” he said in a surprised tone. “That’s my bias – ah, Suga is his stage name. Yoongi is his Korean first name. You have to show me you being Suga. Or teach me. I want to learn all the moves but wasn’t allowed to learn when growing up. My Umma and Appa – uh… my parents… they didn’t like me listening to K-Pop a lot”

Feeling slightly awkward about bringing up his parents, and wanting to shove it down as possible, he brought his attention back to the food in his hands. He placed the half that he felt was the coolest into his mouth, slowly chewing on it. And it was in that moment, he felt like he had a deep crystalizing moment. His eyes grew wide in his surprise and he looked back and forth from Gussie and Isaac. Once he swallowed the piece, his mouth hung open for a moment as he tried to come up with some way to describe how it tasted.

Big Matthew. What in the heckity heck. Maybe she should call herself LG or something, LG for Lil' Gussie.

She nodded at the explanation of what a bias was, but then heard that someone's stage name was Suga and any questions she had about biases just went out the window. "Someone's name is Suga?" she wondered, amazed. "Now, I don't know anything about BTS besides the two songs that I danced to, but because of that name, Suga is absolutely my bias."

Of course, that could and probably would change if she got into the group and learned about them, but for now it was Suga. "Who's Zico? What group is he in?" Not that she'd know the group. Well, most likely not. But she was still curious. It was always fun to learn about new things and new cultures.

Then she saw his eyebrows go up and oh man, she definitely should not have mentioned it. Because now he'd want to see them and even though she didn't have the footage, she could bet her ass that her friends knew where it was and how to find it. Fantastic.

"I was who?" Gussie wondered, not knowing who Yoongi was. And oh. Oh. She was Suga? Cool beans. "If Yoongi Suga was the one who acted like he threw a baseball in that song, then yes, I followed him." And ah, she knew this question would come up somewhere. "Mini," she began, picking up another oreo and popping it in her mouth. "It's been a year since I've danced to it, I doubt I remember a single thing from it."

But then she took one look at him and her resolve crumbled. "Fine. I'll teach you. But I need to watch their practice video a few times first to make sure I remember. Do you want to learn the whole song or just the chorus?" It wasn't an easy song to dance to, and she was no dancer, so this might be more difficult than she thought, but she'd still try.

"Well," Gussie began, trying to alleviate any tension in the that might've appeared at the mention of his parents. "You're in America now. Feel free to listen and dance to as much K-pop as you want." And she meant it.

Her eyes widened as Minseok mentioned a party in his mouth and couldn't help the grin that appeared on her face. "Glad you liked it," she chuckled and glanced down, seeing that they were nearly out of oreos. "We can get more if you want." [/div] [/div][/div] [/div]

Someone who didn’t make him feel like an absolute idiot for every single mistake he made. Being around his parents all the time with very restricted social time, it started to do a real number on his self-esteem. So, I suppose coming to America was his first – and most likely – his only chance to let loose. To actually fail at things and not worry about what his parents – or anyone else – would say. Knowing that failure was an option for anything while he was here was an odd massive blessing.

A soft smile came to his face as she mentioned that he was in America now; where he was free to listen and dance as much as he wanted to K-Pop. She really did know how to make someone feel better, didn’t she? Feeling a bit bashful, he quickly brought his gaze back down to the other half of the Oreo that was in his hand. This food… it really was something. However, he knew if they were going to get more of it, then his stomach was going to be too full before they tried anything else. Sadly, he was not one of those people blessed with a bottomless pit of a stomach and would often get full quite quickly.

“It’s okay,” he responded to the girl with a grin, looking back up at her. “If we get more… I’ll end up eating until I want to be sick. And we have so much other food we need to try too. And the rides? I’ve never been on a ride”

As sad as it sounded, it was the truth; he had never been on an amusement ride. I mean, sure, he probably went on those little boy cars that went up and down when he was a child and waiting at the shops or something. But he had never been on a Ferris wheel or on a merry-go-round. While all the other children were spending their holidays at Everland or Lotte World, Min-Seok found himself going to Summer programs his parents signed him up for, going to his parent’s workplace or being locked away in his bedroom to study.

He placed the other half of the cooled down Oreo into his mouth, nodding his head subconsciously to express how much he just adored the taste of the food. “Ah, so nice…” he said in a soft voice before bringing all his attention back to the girl before him. “I have an idea for your movie videos.” he announced to her, wiping his hands together to get rid of any crumbs. “You can uh… doc… documentary… me. Learning the dance? Show people how you’re teaching me. And… besides…” Min-Seok crossed his arms, resting against them upon the tabletop to lean over slightly. “I hear Korean boys get all the good views.”

Isaac snorted, popping his head up from his phone as he was aimlessly scrolling through his Instagram feed. “Where did you hear that?” he asked curiously.

“Uh… Alex?” Min-Seok responded, scrunching his face and tilting his head to the side as he tried to think hard to what the boy had to him “He said… Girls get wet for Asians on Tik Tokker. I’m going to say that’s a good thing? Or is he talking about girls peeing their pants?” [/div][/div] [div class=right][div class="scroll"] [div class=h3]유민석[/div] [div class=h1]mood[/div] [div class=h2]lets eat all the food and ride all the rides![/div] [div class=h1]location[/div] [div class=h2]carnival![/div] [div class=h1]tag[/div] [div class=h2] erised [/div] [div class=h1]outfit[/div] [div class=h2]click me![/div] [/div][/div] [/div] [class=bg]width:100%; height:450px; background-color: #b0aba7; postion:relative; margin:auto;cursor: url(https://66.media.tumblr.com/232c090ebdd37ae4bc17adb54e1e0344/tumblr_inline_ol4nwhvSwg1uxxza6_75sq.png), auto!important;[/class] [class=film]width:100%; height:450px; background:url(https://www.transparenttextures.com/patterns/black-felt.png); background-size:20%;[/class] [class=pic1]width:300px; height:350px; background:url(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/c2/e7/32/c2e73240db21ae0b54de1fedab8c4118.jpg); background-size:cover; position:absolute; top:40px; left:28%; transform:rotate(-5deg); border: 10px solid white; box-shadow: 10px 10px 5px grey; transition:1s;[/class] [class name=pic1 state=hover]background:url(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/18/44/1a/18441adae12b990a097d1ebc9a164806.jpg); background-size:cover; transition:1s;[/class] [class=note]width:500px; height:193px; background:url(https://i.imgur.com/xq25HDZ.png); background-size:cover; position:absolute; top:160px; left:44%; transform:rotate(5deg); cursor: url('https://i.imgur.com/8akxkMH.png'), auto !important;[/class] [class name=scroll]width: 100%;height: 98%; overflow: hidden;box-sizing: content-box;padding-right:50px;padding-left:5px; left: -2px;overflow-Y: scroll;overflow-X: hidden; [/class] [class=left]width:480px; height:330px; padding:10px; overflow:hidden; position:absolute; top:0px; background-color:rgb(234, 234, 234, 0.5); font-family:Karla; font-size:13px; color:black;[/class] [class=right]width:180px; height:330px; padding:10px; overflow:hidden; position:absolute; top:0px; left:500px; border-left:1px solid rgb(224, 224, 224, 0.8); background-color:rgb(234, 234, 234, 0.5)[/class] [class=h1]font-family:Gochi Hand; font-size:22px; margin-top:10px; text-align:center; color:black;[/class] [class=h2]font-family:Karla; font-size:12px; color:black;text-align:center; margin-top:-5px;[/class] [class=h3]font-family:Nanum Pen Script; font-size:56px; text-align:center; margin-bottom:-30px; margin-top:-20px; color:black;[/class] [class=slidebox1]opacity:1;top: 40px;transition: ease 2s;[/class] [class=slidebox2]opacity:1;left: 11%;transition: ease 2s;[/class] [script class=note on=click] if (eq ${open} 0) (addClass slidebox1 box1) if (eq ${open} 0) (addClass slidebox2 pic1) if (eq ${open} 0) (removeClass note)[/script]

Mood. She'd do the exact same. Has, in fact, been doing the same. "What other foods do you want to try?"

And then 'I've never been on a ride' was heard. And she nearly lost it, because never been on a ride? What? Okay. They were absolutely positively going on as many rides as possible. "I'm taking you on as many rides as I can." she said, voicing her inner thoughts.

"Do you have a fear of heights?" Gus asked. It was a valid question. Most of the rides went pretty high up in the air and they certainly weren't for people with a fear of heights. If he did, she'd avoid those, but it would make their options very limited. "And do you get motion sick at all?" That would prevent them from going on rides entirely.

She raised a brow when he said he had an idea and nodded thoughtfully. "Sure, I can film it," she agreed. She knew lots of dance choreography and dance tutorials were filmed and uploaded on YouTube, so she had no problem with filming this. Then she nearly fell off of the table.

Korean boys get what? Before she could ask anything, Isaac spoke. "Yeah, where did that come from?" Because she certainly had not heard it herself. To avoid talking any more, Gussie all but shoved an oreo into her mouth. Big mistake, since she nearly choked and died at the next sentence.

After she swallowed and recovered herself, she started wide-eyed at Minseok. "Girls do what?" Yeah, she'd never heard that one either. She looked over at Bethany who was sitting next to Isaac, desperate for help, but Beth seemed just as clueless on how to explain this as she did. But then he continued, and she realized he actually had no idea what that meant.

Was he really that innocent? If so, she'd do her best to keep it intact. "Peeing their pants, I think." Augusta said quickly and then stood up, grabbing the empty tray of oreos. "So, Minnie, what rides do you want to go on first?" Yes, she was changing the subject but she couldn't stay on that one any longer. [/div] [/div][/div] [/div]

Their time at the carnival had been interesting.

Not only had he been introduced to foods that he had never tried before, but he also had the opportunity to go on rides for the very first time in his life to. Having never really experienced a fear of heights or motion sickness before, he had been a bit anxious that he was going to end up vomiting everywhere (especially eating all that food). Thankfully, his stomach managed to handle it and he was so excited to try all the other rides. And to finish it all off, going onto the Ferris wheel at the end of the night. It was just perfect! The cool breeze, the sparkling lights below them and the twinkling lights in the sky. Not to mention being surrounded by so many friends. He was in complete awe.

It had been a week since they all gathered to go to the carnival. Minseok had been busy with his classes and upcoming assignments that he spent the whole week practically sealed away in his dorm room. He had practically just finished his latest assignment when Isaac messaged him asking if he wanted to come to his place for a small get together as his parents were out of town. Well, it did sound delightful. Not to mention… maybe he could have his first drink of alcohol? Isaac did mention that he would have some beer and shots there for the small group of friends.

Yes, I know what you’re thinking. He’s twenty and has never had any alcohol in his life? The legal drinking age in Korea was eighteen. And while the other students at the university and schools were getting drunk and high, Minseok was stuck at home under the watchful eyes of his parents. They used to say that alcohol would rot his brain and cause him to forget everything that he had ever learnt. They pushed an intense fear into his mind regarding the substance. But they tried to push a lot of fear into his life. And after his first few weeks of freedom, he soon discovered that his parents had lied about a lot of things to try and keep him home.

He had arrived early at Isaac’s parent's place, offering a helping hand to his friend. They rearranged the living room so there would be more room for people to sit around. They then began to place the drinks into the fridge and coolers, to ensure that they were nice and cold for everyone. Finally, they placed various snacks upon the coffee table and countertop. Slowly, their other friends began to arrive, and the beers were being passed around. They found themselves seated in the living room, talking about an upcoming camping trip to the beach which they had been trying to plan.

Sitting on one of the couches, Minseok sipped on his drink and listened carefully to what they were planning on doing. He had decided earlier on that he was going to hold off on the drinking just for now, and settled with a can of coke. He wasn’t sure what it was; he wanted to try the alcohol. But at the same time, he couldn’t put that nagging voice in the back of his head that sounded strangely like his mother’s voice. Telling him that if he drank any of it, his whole life would go to hell and everything he did in life would have no meaning.

So many exams. So many papers. She was up until 3am every night studying or writing and went to class looking like she was run over by a truck multiple times. It was safe to say that by the end of the week, she was completely burnt out and just wanted to just crawl into bed and sleep for 100 years.

Her roommates, however, had other plans. Just 30 minutes after Gus had begun her hibernation, Bethany and Kira threw open the door to her room and then launched themselves onto her bed, proceeding to pummel her with their fists until she groaned and open her eyes, wondering just what the fuck they wanted.

Turns out a party was what they wanted and a party was the absolute last thing she wanted. Normally, most people loved ending a tough week with a good party and in most cases, Gussie would too. But right now she was just exhausted and desperately wanted and needed sleep, though it seemed as if she wouldn't get her way no matter how hard she tried.

So she was dragged from bed into the bathroom and forced to sit on the vanity while Bethany did her makeup and Kira and Alexia picked out an outfit for her. Thirty minutes later, her makeup was done, she was in new clothes, and the four of them were in the Uber on the way to the party. Gus had absolutely no idea why they bothered to do her makeup considering just a few people would be there but she didn't have the energy to question and argue.

Next thing she knew, she was sitting on the couch at Isaac's house, slowly sipping whatever she'd been handed (she didn't ask what it was--probably a good idea). She hadn't really talked much since she'd arrived, something that was unusual for her, but again, she was very tired. Gussie was stuck in her own little world, not really noticing who else was here besides her.

That was until someone mentioned beer pong and she quickly broke out of whatever little trance she'd been in. Beer pong was her shit. So she set down whatever she'd been drinking and walked over to the beer pong table. The teams ended up being her and Bethany versus Kira and Alexia, and it was safe to say that Gussie and Bethany absolutely dominated.

"Suck my dick," Gussie yelled to the losing team.

"You don't have a dick," retorted Kira in anger and annoyance that she lost.

"Suck my metaphorical dick, then." Gus responded with an eye roll, laughing as Kira flipped her off and walked away to go rejoin the rest of the party. "See if anyone else wants to play us." she said to Bethany, who just huffed before leaving to go find others. Gussie would do it herself but she was too lazy. Plus, she had just started bouncing a beer pong ball on the table and catching it which required lots of concentration and she couldn't just walk away. So it had to be Bethany.

“Yo. Which one of you pussies think you can beat Gussie and I in Beer Pong?”

Well, that was a grand entrance.

Bethany stood before the group of boys sitting on the couch with a giant sneaky grin on her face, her head tilted slightly to the side and her arms crossed in front of her torso. Beer Pong. Right. Min-Seok had heard the girls talking about it before, but he never had the chance to actually ask what the game was. In fact, he found himself so often asking questions about different things they did in America compared to Korea that he was wondering if his new American friends were beginning to get tired of him asking so much. So, at the time, he didn’t say anything to the others in regards to what the game was. But maybe now he needed to.

Min-Seok gently nudged Isaac who sat next to him, causing the other boy to turn to him. He motioned for Isaac to move in closer so he could talk to him in a hushed voice. After all, he didn’t want to seem like a complete idiot in front of everyone. “What’s Beer Pong?” Min-Seok stage whispered to his American friend. Oh man, why did he think that asking was a good idea? Because Isaac’s eyes widened and he pulled back, looking at Min-Seok as if the Korean boy had three heads.

“You don’t know what Beer Pong is?!” he said in a loud voice – it was loud enough to get everyone’s attention in the room to gaze at the exchange student. “Have you never played it before?!”

Shyly, Min-Seok shook his head, feeling his face flush. “I… I don’t think so?”

“That’s it! You’re playing!” Bethany declared to him before pointing to Isaac. “Isaac, team up with him. Come on lads. Let’s have a good game then!”

Isaac was quick to stand to his feet, leaning down for a moment to grab Min-Seok’s wrist and pull the boy to a standing position. From there he practically dragged him to the area where they had the Beer Pong set up. His brows furrowed in curiosity as he saw the layout of the table with all the cups and… Gussie with a tennis table ball? What… what the heck? How do you even play this game?

“Gussie. You’re going to love this. Min-Seok has never played a game of Beer Pong before. Let’s pop his Beer Pong cherry!” Bethany giggled as she stood next to the other girl. Pushing her hair behind her ears, she looked over at Min-Seok with a warm smile. “Okay, so… have you never seen Beer Pong before? Not even on movies or tv shows? Like, American shows and movies?”

“I uh… Wasn’t really… allowed to watch movies and shows growing up” Min-Seok responded with a shrug.

“Oh, like American movies and shows? That’s a bit… like racist?” Isaac frowned as he made his way towards the other side of the table.

“No just… We had no television in our house. And I wasn’t allowed to have Netflix or anything so… No shows.” Min-Seok simply replied as if it was something that was just normal for him.

“Jesus Christ.” Isaac cursed under his breath before looking over at the girls. “Gussie – you’re the best at explaining these type of games. Care to educate our boy?”

AUGUSTA​

Gussie just sort of tuned out after Bethany left to go find more players. It wasn't as if she was purposely doing it, rather, she was just still so tired that she had no idea that she was doing it. She hardly even noticed her best friend returning to the table until Bethany began speaking directly to her.

Gus shook herself out of her tired reverie in time to hear the spiel on how Minseok has never played beer pong before. Unlike her friend, Gussie wasn't all that surprised. There was a very good chance that beer pong was just an American party game and not played in other countries. If that were the case, of course he wouldn't have played it, maybe not even have heard of it.

Before she could voice her opinion on it, Bethany and Isaac began speaking again. Gus decided to just stand back, not wanting to take part in this beer pong and movie watching interrogation. But not taking part in the conversation allowed her mind to wander and just like before, she found herself tuning out.

Gus jumped slightly when Isaac spoke directly to her, cursing herself out internally for zoning out again. When the words registered, she just raised a brow. "I'm the best at explaining things? Really Isaac?" Because, in her opinion, she was horrible at explaining absolutely everything. "When I try to explain things, it always ends up sounding something like 'you put the thingy over the thingy and color over it'. Makes no sense, right?" Yeah, she absolutely sucked at explaining.

Her eyes found Minseok just then and lingered on him for a moment before her attention returned to the table. "Fine, I'll try my best to explain." It would probably suck though. Augusta walked around the table, resetting the cups to their proper position before returning to where the others were. "Okay, beer pong 101," she started, trying to make this as easy as possible. "There are two players on a team. There are also two ping pong balls. When it's your teams turn, you will throw the ping pong ball you're holding at one of the cups on the opposite side of the table, and then your teammate will do the same," She pointed to the cups. "Your goal is for the ball to land inside of one of the cups. If your ball lands inside of a cup, that cup is removed. The first team to have all of the cups removed is the winner."

There were a lot more additions to the game such as on fire, blowing, rollbacks, island, rebuttal and over time, but considering this was Minseok's first time playing, they would keep it very simple. "Okay, Minnie, you and Isaac go on that side of the table," Gus nodded towards the opposite side, "and Bethany and I will stay here. You should try throwing a few times to practice and get a feel for things. Once you feel comfortable, we can start." She'd explain how they would start after the warmup. "Last thing. If you're down to six cups or below, but they're all spaced out and very hard to throw at, you can call for a reform. This means that the remaining cups will be bunched together in the center in any shape you'd like, whether a diamond, square, circle, you name it. You may only do this twice per game."

“I don’t think I will be good at this…” Minseok said to Isaac with uncertainty as the other male turned him around and pushed against his back to lead him towards their little designated playing area.

“You’re going to be just fine.” Isaac chuckled, patting Minseok’s shoulders before placing a ping pong ball into his hands “Just… I dunno. Think of it like physics.”

Physics?

Oh, he could do physics. His whole life was basically surrounded by physics. For a moment, Minseok’s gaze travelled between the ball in his hand to the cups on the table, and back once more. His mind was ticking as he began to think of the equation that would help him to bring his team to victory. After all, he didn’t want to let Isaac down.

“So if I… Ok, so Isaac. If I throw with uh… with height… give it a large peak and uh… yeah, large peak resulting in large angle of entry.” Minseok said to the boy next to him. He wasn’t really asking his friend for advice but more rather verbalising his inner thoughts to see if they would actually work. “So… a large change in height from release point to peak… We do that with… large velocity in the vertical direction by applying initial throwing force and a greater angle… And then… gravity… the velocity in the y-direction accelerates negatively and the velocity in x-direction remains…”

“… You’re such a nerd” Isaac snorted a reply.

Gazing over his shoulder to look at Isaac, he gave his friend a cheeky grin before bringing his attention back to the cups on the table. Slowly positioning himself at the table with the ping pong ball in his hand, he raised it up and began to arrange himself to throw it. “V final of Y squared equals V peak of squared… plus 2 G Delta Y… ” he began to whisper to himself as his gaze zero-in on one of the cups. And then finally, he did it. And just like his calculations, he was correct. The ball landed in the exact cup that he had been aiming for, causing not only Isaac to cheer for him, but for Minseok to raise his arms in victory with a grin on his face.

What was this feeling that he was feeling?

Minseok could feel a warmth in his chest. It was spreading throughout his torso and making it quite impossible to wipe that smile off his face. Was this… Was this what happiness felt like? To feel happy from an accomplishment? As Isaac patted his shoulder, telling him you did it! with a cheerful glee, he could only feel that warmth continue to radiate through his body. If this was what happiness felt like, he never wanted it to leave his body ever again.

“See! I told you that you’d got this!” Isaac said with a toothy grin before looking over at the girls. “I don’t think he needs any more practice. Or boy is ready to kick ass! You cool with that?” He added, looking at Minseok with an expectant grin on his face.

“Oh! Yeah, totally cool!” he automatically responded. He didn’t care if he was ready or not. He just didn’t want this new feeling to face away. He turned to the girls before him with a smile so big that it was starting to hurt his cheeks. “You’re up girls!”

"Think of it like physics."

What? No. Physics has nothing to do with beer pong. Okay, maybe it does, but no one ever bothered to calculate velocity or acceleration or motion or whatever the hell went into throwing the ball. They just threw it and hoped it went into a cup. No physics calculations necessary.

Gussie's eyes widened as Minseok actually began to do the physics and calculations of beer pong. Beer pong. This was a first. In fact, he was probably the only one to ever do any sort of calculation involving it. Also probably the only one to associate beer pong with a science, apart from the science of 'how to drink a fuck ton of alcohol and avoid a hangover the next day'. That was a science a lot of people thought about.

She and Bethany exchanged startled looks when words such as 'release point' and 'throwing force' and 'y-direction' were brought up. They'd both taken physics at some point, but neither remembered anything from it and neither ever thought of associating physics with beer pong. This was foreign territory.

But when Minseok began talking about squared and delta, Gus decided she had to step in. "Minnie, stop," she began. "Ignore Isaac. He's just being annoying. You absolutely do not have to calculate physical force or whatever before every throw," If that's even what it was called. "Just focus on the cup you want the ball to land in and then throw."

She watched in surprise when the ball landed in the cup and her brows raised. "Nice," she commented with a grin. "But seriously, you don't have to do calculations before every throw. The game will never end." That was true. It would take forever each turn and they'd be here for hours. She had no desire to be here for hours considering how tired she was.

When it was their turn to throw, Bethany just shook her head in amusement before throwing. The ball hit the rim of one cup and bounced into another cup. Then Gussie stepped forward and aimed towards a cup in the back, watching as the beer splashed onto Isaac's shirt when the ball landed in it. "Sorry." she said, not sorry in the slightest. "Move the cups to the side and then it's your turn boys."
