kuromi, seola ——  my melody, haneul ——  hello kitty, misa

my melody
seola WHY did you respond to that
one comment on your insta post like
that omg??

hello kitty
no literally what is going on

and why did you ask her what the hell
she's doing there 😭

kuromi
how did you even see that

i deleted it like two seconds after
i posted it

hello kitty
misa sees all

kuromi
can misa see herself out of my life

hello kitty

my melody
quit deflecting by bullying misa

kuromi
i'm not deflecting it's just my favorite
pastime

hello kitty
when i kms in front of you to change
the trajectory of your life will it be
funny then

kuromi
yeah kinda

my melody
we need another girls day very soon
so i can be reminded that you do in
fact love each other

anyway seola what was up with your
comments!!!

hello kitty
yeah what did that girl do to you

kuromi
that's hyejin

hello kitty
yeah we can read but thanks

my melody
she's in the group you're painting the
mural with right?

kuromi
yes

unfortunately

hello kitty
oh i get it she's one of the people
at your school who's been weird to
you ever since you and yeonjun
got outed

my melody
i will fight her!!!

hello kitty
the idea of you fighting anyone is
so crazy to me

my melody
excuse me i'm tough 😠😠😠

hello kitty
the toughest!!!!

anyway

seola what did she do

kuromi
she keeps trying to talk to me

my melody
about yeonjun?

kuromi
no

just in general

my melody
...ok?

hello kitty
i know you hate people in general
but i do not see the issue here

kuromi
she's trying too hard

i think she's up to something

my melody
i am probably going to regret asking
this but can you elaborate pls

kuromi
so like the other day these people
were not letting me get past them
in the hall because they kept trying
to ask me questions about yeonjun

then hyejin comes over and is like
"so sorry to interrupt but seola i need
to ask you something about the mural"

so i go with her and i ask her what
she needed and she tells me she didn't
actually have a question and it just
looked like those people were bothering
me so it was an excuse to help me
get away

my melody
so she helped you?

that's really nice!

kuromi
it's not nice? it's calculated

she's planning something

hello kitty
your paranoia is getting a little out
of hand don't you think

kuromi
nobody liked me or talked to me
before the news broke because
they were all scared of me and
thought i was a bitch

hello kitty
which is so insane because everyone
knows you are a barrel of laughs and
smiles and sunshine and rainbows

kuromi
go stand blindfolded on train tracks
until you feel the impact and the
sweet sting of death

hello kitty
see? who would be scared of that
charm 🥰

kuromi
my point is that if people didn't
like me before then it's only fair
to assume that when they talk to
me now it's for ulterior motives

just like it has been over and
over again these past few weeks

my melody
ok seola you are completely valid
in assuming these people who never
spoke to you before are just trying
to get to yeonjun now

especially because i know it keeps
happening to you which completely
sucks

but didn't you say before that hyejin
was friendly with you and spoke to
you before anyone knew that you
were dating yeonjun?

kuromi
that's not relevant

hello kitty
kinda seems relevant to me

kuromi
and yet it's not

i usually brushed her off when
she tried to talk to me before

at the very least i never really
engaged the conversations

so why would she still be trying
to be friendly to me now unless
she wanted something from me

my melody
maybe she's just a genuinely nice
person

kuromi
see that's where you lose me
completely

there is no such thing as genuinely
nice people

hello kitty
ok you know that's not true

you're dating one? and he's in a group
with four other genuinely nice people?

plus what about hanni

my melody
and what about your mom

kuromi
yeah well she's not here anymore
and she hasn't been for a long time
has she

the only people who last in this
world are the shitty ones. people
like my dad

my melody
i knew this went beyond just the
stuff with yeonjun

seola you can't just assume everyone
is a complete fucking asshole like your
father

hello kitty
i never hear you talk that way about
anyone

my melody
trust me you didn't know him

it's accurate

kuromi
yeah

hello kitty
ok well i understand you there

my parents suck too

but again that doesn't mean that
everybody out there does? you have
genuinely good people in your life

my melody
exactly

and i know for a fact it's way more
than you ever thought you'd have

kuromi
you're right it is

which is how i know better than to
trust that More genuinely good
people will enter my life

i already have so many that it
defies logic it's just not possible
for there to be more

my melody
it really makes me so sad that you
see the world this way

seola you are so amazing and sweet
and talented and funny and it's only
natural that people want to be close
to you and to love you

hello kitty
yeah i hate that you always assume
the worst

i know you love to give me a hard time
but i also know you and i know how
caring you are even tho you try not to
show it

you deserve good people in your life!

kuromi
i really love you guys and i appreciate
you saying all of this but it doesn't
change anything

i still can't trust her. i can't trust
any of them

which is fine because like you said
i do have good people in my life and
i care about them all so much so it's
kind of greedy of me to expect more

my melody
it is not greedy to want people
in your life that you enjoy being
around

kuromi
i promise you i am fine

i don't need to trust her and i don't
need you guys to worry about me
for having this outlook on life

i'm just being realistic

hello kitty
i really don't think that you are

kuromi
agree to disagree

clearly you guys are not gonna see
it the same way i am and i can promise
you i'm not gonna see it the same way
you are so i think we should just change
the subject

my melody
i don't want to push you on this so
i'll let it go

for now

hello kitty
me too

just know we love you

kuromi
i love you guys too

or at least hanni

hello kitty
