《I don't know (IDK) || SOOSHU ft. Mimin》Chapter 12
Advertisement
Soojin hasn't even stepped out of her front gates but she could already feel the presence of a very hyper girl. It somehow made her wonder, since when did she develop an extra sense for Shuhua?
And what do you know? Her intuition is right, because right there was Yeh Shuhua looking extra bouncy than usual.
She actually didn't expect Shuhua to come over. It was a Saturday morning, and the only reason she's up is because they have a dress rehearsal before their show tonight. But she should have known that Shuhua is quite persistent, even on weekends.
A naughty smirk soon starts to grace Soojin's lips as she thinks of an awesome troll plan. She didn't even know she was capable of trolling, but she could guess she had Shuhua to thank for that.
***
Shuhua scratches her head in confusion. She was pretty sure that Soojin was about to come out of her house, but it's like Soojin just went poof. The younger girl couldn't help but think of the possibilities of what might have happened.
Maybe the Seo's gate is a portal to another dimension, just like that closet in Narnia. What if they now made Soojin their queen and the white witch wasn't happy with that, and now Soojin's life is in danger? It was up to her to rescue her...
But the sound of someone landing on their feet interrupted Shuhua's planning of how to save Soojin. She looks up, just in time and catches Soojin making a mad dash for it.
"She's trying to run away!"
Shuhua quickly put her jets on and sped up trying to run after Soojin. But she almost tumbled over as she brakes quickly. Why try to chase her when she could surprise her?
***
Soojin was laughing triumphantly as she obviously trolled the troll. This was a rare occasion. Usually it was Shuhua who always had the last laugh, but not now. Right now, it was her who's celebrating.
She turns around to see how far Shuhua is behind her. But she ends up stopping when Shuhua wasn't anywhere near her. In fact, Shuhua wasn't there at all.
"Where is that- !!!!!"
Soojin lets out a squeal as she sees Shuhua just jump down from a tree. Like the monkey that she is, gives Soojin the best backhug. The strong girl Shuhua starts to playfully spin Soojin around, until Soojin smacks her in the arm to make her stop.
"Shuhua?! How did you get there?!"
Shuhua just responded with her signature troll smirk. Truth was, she knew every shortcut and alleyway to Soojin's house but she didn't want to reveal to Soojin that.
"It's a secret... by the way... HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!"
Soojin didn't know who to look strangely at; the sweet looking purple orchid bouquet or to the silly girl smiling extra sillier at her?
"Happy mother's day?"
"Yes..." Shuhua continues to offer out the bouquet. "Because you're going to be the mother of my future children."
"You never fail to surprise me... you know that?"
Shuhua drew closer to Soojin and took Soojin's backpack. Nowadays, Soojin was so used to almost surrendering her things for Shuhua to bring.
"That's a good thing, right?"
"Yes..."
"I bought your mommy a gift too."
"Thanks... I'm sure she would love it."
"Kekekeke..."
The two continue walking to school, but this time without the air of conversation between them. As talkative Shuhua was, still there are things about her that remain to be a mystery for Soojin. Most of the time, when Shuhua talks it is to pry or know things about Soojin. Now that Soojin thinks about it, their conversation was never about Shuhua, but more about her.

They have been going out for what? Months now? Maybe it was time to know a little bit of what Yeh Shuhua is about...
"Speaking of moms, Shuhua... What did you give your mom?"
Shuhua bats her lashes as she turns to Soojin. "Which mom?"
"Your mom?"
"I have two moms!" Shuhua says proudly.
Soojin slowed down in her steps, casting a surprised look at Shuhua.
"W-what? I didn't know that... Well... you talk about your mommy Irene but I don't remember talking about your mommy Seulgi."
"I do... I do..." Shuhua nodded proudly. "Mommy Irene and mommy Seulgi... That's why my name is Shuhua... It's a combination of their names. Shu and Hua ... Shuhua..." (Let's pretend it does lol)
"What about Minnie?"
"Oh... her name is from my grammy. Because mommy Irene said that even if the world was so mean because she's with a girl, grammy still stood by both of them. That's why unnie is named after her."
Shuhua was just playing around with their twined fingers, while Soojin was enjoying the feeling of having Shuhua's hands in hers. She was wondering still though, if Shuhua would allow her to delve more.
"So, tell me about them?" Soojin decided to give it a go and ask.
"Well... My mommy Seulgi travels a lot because of her work. I hardly see her growing up, but when she comes home, it's like a party everyday. Now that me and unnie are grown up, mommy Seulgi wants to take Mommy Irene with her, because she says she misses her so much."
Shuhua gushes at how in love both her parents are.
"Do you think that's why you like girls?"
"Huh?"
"Because you grow up seeing two women in love and you don't have a father figure?"
That question left Shuhua quiet as she pondered about it. She has never really thought or asked herself that question, because as far as she knows, she has only loved one and that was no other than the girl with her fingers linked with hers.
"Ummm I don't like girls... except those tsundere in animes that look like you... I just... I just love you."
Soojin turns her gaze down, trying to hide her smile. Shuhua just has that effect on her, and she's not even sure if Shuhua even notices it.
"And in the next lifetime if you turn out to be a guy, I would probably still fall for you as hard as I'm falling for you right now. A Seo Soojin only comes once in a generation but I'll search for you everytime. and in this lifetime, I already found you."
A cute pink starts to blush Soojin's cheeks, Shuhua pulls their joined hands to her lips for a kiss. And Soojin is much bolder now, as she lays a peck on Shuhua's perfect nose.
"You sure know the things to say, don't you?"
"Of course..." But Shuhua has a way of ruining her own moment when she points to the sky and yells. "Right now! It's Soojin Generation!"
Soojin chuckles softly and almost flirtatiously slaps Shuhua's arm.
"So, are you going to watch me rehearse today?"
"Of course..."
***
"Why can't I have a singing part?"
It was Moonbyul unleashing her inner diva. They have their final rehearsals before the big night. And everything was right in place, but still Moonbyul is convinced that their audience would be more wowed if she shows them her vocal prowess.
"Do you know I can move people with my voice?"

Every head turns to Moonbyul. All of them wonder if Moonbyul has taken some happy pills which is why she's extra delusional.
"What are you even talking about?"
Moonbyul's scream was so loud, it catapulted everybody to the ground.
"YAH!!!!" Soyeon growls angrily as she pushes herself off the floor. "What the hell was that for?"
"See?" Moonbyul said in a matter of fact way. "Told you I can move people with my voice."
"It doesn't mean literally you idiot!!!"
Soyeon was going to make sure Moonbyul gets it, and by that, she meant pounding it on the other girl's face. Like literally...pounding her on the face. Soojin didn't even bother to come between the two knuckleheads and just kept her focus on her script, while looking back and forth to the seats, searching for that doe eyed girl who promised to watch.
"Aren't you going to practice?"
Soojin asks curiously as she was watching Somi paying more attention to taking selcas than memorizing her lines.
"Oh please... Soojin... I'm the wicked stepmother... the only line I say is mirror, mirror, you dumb piece of shiz and eat this frickin apple dammit!"
Soojin was pretty sure that wasn't Somi's lines. But the tanned beauty could only figure out it was because Somi still hadn't gotten over the fact that she lost her part to Moonbyul. Moonbyul of all people.
"Well... if you're going to be playing the stepmother... Then, you should be the best stepmother."
Somi just snorts in disapproval, before continuing to click away.
"Ok... okay..." The teacher starts to clap her hands to gain everybody's attention. "Ok... let's practice from the top, the dance scene..."
"Pfft... Somi can't dance, there's no pole..." Moonbyul chuckles playfully.
Somi's blood soon reaches a boiling point as everybody just starts to snicker at her expense. This was it for Jeon Somi, somebody has to pay and that someone was no other than Moonbyul.
"You better take that back!"
"Why?" Moonbyul was just being her playful self, but Somi was not feeling it at all.
"Before I throw something straight at your face!"
"Oh please I watch you pitch! You don't know the meaning of the word straight! !!!!"
Everyone gasps as they see Moonbyul falling on her knees, clutching her nose in pain.
""
Everyone cocks their head at Somi, who feels like she has an out of body experience. When she returned to Earth, she saw everyone surrounding Moonbyul.
"OMO! What did I do?"
***
Come to the rooftop
***
"Shu?"
"TADA!!!"
Soojin walks into the rooftop and couldn't help but gush at how Shuhua turned the bland school rooftop into a romantic picnic scene.
"So, this is what you've been doing while I'm rehearsing?" Soojin jokes softly.
"Ah-huh... Ah- Huh..." Shuhua nods her head animatedly. "Come here..."
Shuhua takes Soojin's hand and pulls the girl towards the blanket laden with food. The puppy eyed girl had obviously paid attention to Soojin's needs, as there was fresh fruits, some tea and salad.
"I remember we never really had that Valentine date we were planning... So, well... better late than never."
"Hahaha... you just never fail to surprise me..."
"That's a good thing, right?"
"Yup... So, what do we have here?"
"Well, I thought you must be pretty hungry after rehearsals and carrying Moonbyul unnie to the clinic."
Soojin could only shake at the chaos that happened during rehearsal. Poor Moonbyul now looks like she has a tomato on her face after Somi throws her shoe at her.
"You know since this is really just a class presentation, we don't really have understudies. We were supposed to just use Somi to replace Byul, but her role was too important so we gave it to Minnie."
"OMO!" Shuhua couldn't help but cry out in despair. "She will get to kiss you?!"
"It's a fake kiss."
"But still... a kiss is a kiss."
"Hmmm... got a point there..."
"Don't kiss her." Shuhua has a determined frown in her face as she commands Soojin. "Don't kiss anybody, but me..." Shuhua points to herself, making sure Soojin knows that she meant business.
"It's just pretend you goofball..." Soojin's chuckle sounds heavenly to Shuhua.
"It's still me you love to kiss, right?" Shuhua asks like a child asking for a parent's confirmation.
"Maybe... I don't remember..." Soojin says with a hint of mischief and flirtation in her voice.
"Should I remind you?"
Soojin answers by motioning Shuhua to come closer, and the doe eyed girl slowly crawls closer on top of Soojin.
Shuhua snickers at her typical troll snicker as she was so close to her girl, that their nose was almost touching. Shuhua closes her eyes, ready for a kiss as Soojin leans closer.
"Kekekeke..." Soojin's cute chuckle has woke Shuhua from her trance.
"YAH!" Shuhua mutters in disappointment as she sees Soojin just lying comfortably in the blanket.
"Hmmmp!" Shuhua just says in defeat before just ending up plopping right beside Soojin.
"Shuhua?"
"Hmmm?" Shuhua turned to her side, and could see Soojin slowly drifting to sleep. She has never seen Soojin so relaxed, the girl always seems so uptight and stressed about everything. It's comforting to know that Soojin was finally having that break she needed.
"I'm going to nap a bit..." Soojin curls herself closer to Shuhua. Even if she loves the feeling of the wind cooling her, still she would choose the warmth of being next to Shuhua everytime. "I'll eat when I wake up."
"Okay..." Shuhua sits up, arranging the food back in the cooler before it goes bad. Other people might get upset for having their plan set aside, but those people are not like Shuhua. For her, whatever makes Soojin feel much better is what's important for her.
"Sweet dreams..."
A tender smile starts to play in the sleepy girl's lips.
"Sweet dreams..." Soojin replied sleepily. "Thank you, monkey."
"Anytime, my sexy bear..." Shuhua says softly, careful not to stir Soojin up.
And right before Soojin travels to dreamland, Shuhua leaves a soft kiss on her forehead. It was just a kiss on the forehead, but for Soojin it felt heavenly. Nothing beats being kissed by the one you cherish the most.
***
This is it...
The whole auditorium is starting to get filled with the audience, who are all buzzing in excitement. In an all girls school like them, the only one they could fangirl about was either K pop idols or Seo Soojin. But this night obviously belongs to Seo Soojin.
Behind the curtains, the excitement was just or probably more intense as well. Everyone is both nervous and excited, praying silently not to screw things up.
But one girl has one mission, as she walks right straight over to Soojin, looking so dashing as she practices in the corner.
"Seo Soojin..."
Soojin hardly ever gets scared of anything, but somehow Miyeon just has that power on her and in anybody. Never have Soojin felt so threatened, especially not somebody in a dwarf costume. But Miyeon sure scared the shiz out of Soojin, as she walked towards the taller girl, not caring if Soojin was towering over her.
In fact, Miyeon likes the challenge, the bigger they are, the harder they fall.
"What is it?" Soojin tries to control the squeakiness of her voice.
"I just want to warn you. If you ever dare lay your lips on any part of Minnie; I swear to God, you would need a damn good dentist because I will knock every single tooth off your mouth."
Soojin can't hardly find any retort to Miyeon's threat. She opens her mouth but nothing more than a squeaky OK came out of it. But then, something springs in Soojin's mind. She's pretty sure their director is going to kill her for this, but Soojin thinks this would work better in a long haul
"I think I have a better idea."
***
Somi wasn't going to take this lying down. After "accidentally" taking out Moonbyul from her role, Somi finally decided to make peace with herself.
So, what if she's the evil queen? It's up to her to turn this villainess role into the supahstah...
An evil cackle spurts out of Somi's voice...
"Are you ready Somi?"
"More than ever..."
The crescent eyed girl stepped into the stage and was almost blinded by the stage lights. Familiar faces in the crowd were now hazy.
Somi lips curl into a delightful smile as she basks in the limelight. These people are not just an audience anymore, these people are going to be fanatics.
"W-w-what is she doing?!"
Everyone in the backstage is starting to whisper in the contest. There was Somi instead of saying her lines, now acting like a beauty queen walking around the stage and waving at the audience.
"What are you doing?! Go say your lines now!" Soyeon hissed at the other girl. But her threat fell to deaf ears when Somi was just giving everyone a slow wave.
"They love me..." Somi proclaims "They really love--- "
Before Somi could even finish, the injured Moonbyul was ready to take revenge and tackle Somi off the stage.
"I'm going to take you down!"
Now the two have started to wrestle on the backstage, leaving the audience scratching their heads and their director crying mercilessly.
***
Yuqi has been racking her brains throughout the whole show. She's been counting once, twice, even more than three times but there were only four dwarves left.
"Shu? Are there just four dwarves left?"
"I think so... Or maybe they're so small, we just can't see them."
Yuqi just nodded, she had never really thought of that.
"Ahhh... unnie?" Yuqi looks in surprise as Soojin takes a spot beside her.
"S-Soojin?" Shuhua, who was one seat away from Soojin, almost jumps off her seat ready to get near the tanned girl.
"Hi baobei..." Soojin leans her head back to give Shuhua that teasing grin, Shuhua could never resist.
"Ahhhh... shouldn't you be in the show?"
"Well... I think there is someone else who fits the role much better than me."
The three girls look up at the stage and have seen Miyeon donned in a bigger costume, as she played the prince.
***
The whole crew were now starting to scramble around the backstage, searching every hook and cranny for that luscious fruit.
""
Ooooppps... Moonbyul tries to slowly back away as she realizes that she has been munching on a prop.
"Moonbyul..."
"What?! I didn't do anything!"
"You are holding the apple... or what's left of it..."
"Well! I'm depressed" Moonbyul reasons out, even putting on a teary pout to try and get away with it. "And I eat a lot when I'm depressed."
"You eat on every occasion... What are we going to do now?"
"Well... I have a banana?" Moonbyul chuckles embarrassingly, hoping to salvage what's left of this failed show.
***
Minnie couldn't believe how effective Sorn (since Somi is predisposed) was to be a queen. The girl was standing hunchback and looking so nasty.
"A banana?"
It wasn't just Minnie who was surprised with the poisoned fruit, the whole audience was shocked as well.
"Yes... take it... take it..." Sorn offers, snickering badly.
"Ummm... ahhh... ok... AGH! ACK!" Minnie starts to put her hand on her neck, trying to give the impression that she's choking.
But right before she collapses, she accidentally steps on the banana peel.
"WHOAH!"
And Minnie/snow white collapsed to the floor, not because she got poisoned but because she slipped and banged her head on the floor.
***
"W-where am I?"
Minnie wakes up groggily, squinting her eyes at the bright lights. When she saw that she was surrounded by weeping dwarves, Minnie finally remembered what happened.
"Omo!"
But soon, the whole auditorium was filled with hushed whispers. Minnie, despite having good hearing, could not make up what they're saying. It was then when she slightly opened her eyes and saw the silhouette of Miyeon that she almost scrambled to get out of bed.
But before Prince reaches Minnie, the evil step mother queen steps in front of her.
"Sorry prince..." Sorn says with such devilish intent "But you can't... "
Sorn starts to cower as Miyeon is beating her up with the fake sword.

Milton
A Cyberpunk Coming of Age Tale The Apocalypse is ugly. The only lights that work are battery powered or neon. Scroungers kill your neighbors and take control of their bodies. Gang wars run rampant in the perpetual night, as usual, except now, most members have magical spells to defend their turf. Life certainly changed once the Rainbow Letters came. For Milton, things changed for the better. The world became familiar. He could find loot, learn skills, and equip weapons and armor. It was all much easier to understand than the perils of pre-Apocalypse life with its grocery shopping and going outside. Then he discovers Ragnarok, Orchestrator of the Rainbow Letters and all of Milton’s problems. The race to figure out why is on. If Milton is to survive long enough to find answers, he must first be strong enough to confront his worst enemy: himself. * This is work in progress and NOT professionally edited. * ** This story is humorous in the begining, but gets very dark around the turning point. Reader discretion is advised.**
8 215Alive?
In the ruins of a once glorious city, a mage awakens. As the sole survivor(?) of the cataclysm that destroyed his entire species, he’s forced to adapt. While learning the intricacies of his new body, he must first carve out a place for himself in a familiar yet foreign world before he can set out to reclaim his heritage. I cannot stress this enough: the character is not human, do not expect him to react like one. I know the hand on the cover only has five finger, but I doubt I am going to find a royalty free radiography with two perfectly functional thumbs placed in a sensible way anytime soon. The rewrite is finished. Beta readers are welcomed and I am still wondering whether I should put the sci-fi tag or not.

Conscripted as agents of the Crown, they must do their country's dirty work in exchange for their lives. When their powers put them on either side of a magical war, where will their loyalties fall?
