The Depths of Dark Desire.
Laughter between worries
The Kim sisters lived a life far removed from the fantasies of love and marriage, a world they openly mocked. Ye Jin, Tae-hee, and Min Young, bound by their hardships, shared a small 1BHK apartment, embracing the simplicity of their middle-class life. They had seen enough of the world's cruelty to know that love was nothing more than a trap.
Every morning started with Ye Jin, the eldest, waking early to prepare breakfast and lunch for work. This particular morning, she was stirring the pot, lost in thought, as she worried about the upcoming bills and dwindling groceries. The rent was due in two weeks, and the burden of being the eldest weighed heavily on her. But before all that, there was breakfast to make. As she hummed softly, chopping vegetables, she didn’t notice someone creeping up behind her.
Without warning, someone hugged her from behind.
Kim Tae- hee (FL)
Good morning, sis.
Ye Jin smiled, momentarily distracted from her worries.
Kim Ye-jin (Fl elder sister)
Good morning, bear.
Tae-hee leaned against her.
Kim Ye-jin (Fl elder sister)
Did you have another weird dream?
Ye Jin asked, slightly concerned.
Kim Tae- hee (FL)
No... I just wanted to hug you, gotta start the day with something warm since life’s cold enough."
Ye Jin chuckled and patted her shoulder.
Kim Ye-jin (Fl elder sister)
Aww, that’s cute. Now, go wake our little princess before she decides to sleep until noon."
Tae-hee grinned and nodded before heading to the shared bedroom. Min Young, as usual, was still snuggled under the covers. She loved her sleep, but Tae-hee had learned to handle her.
Suddenly, Min Young appeared out of nowhere, her face twisted in a goofy, ghost-like expression, attempting to scare Tae-hee.
Tae-hee just rolled her eyes.
Kim Tae- hee (FL)
Really, Min? That's the best you’ve got? I've seen scarier bed hair."
Min scrunched her nose, mocking offense.
Park min young (Fl younger sister)
Rude. You’re just mad because my scares are still better than your fashion sense.
Tae-hee shot back with a smirk.
Kim Tae- hee (FL)
Well, at least I have some.
Ye Jin couldn’t help but laugh from the kitchen.
Kim Ye-jin (Fl elder sister)
You two are very well-mannered, waking up so early to see me.
Park min young (Fl younger sister)
Of course, we woke up early to witness the glorious Ye Jin making another gourmet breakfast—by which I mean toast and eggs. (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)
Kim Ye-jin (Fl elder sister)
Of course I'm world wild beautiful. ★~(◡﹏◕✿)
Tae-hee snorted, grabbing a piece of toast.
Kim Tae- hee (FL)
More like a prison meal. And you call me fashion-challenged. (* ￣︿￣)
Just then, a love song began playing on the radio. The sisters’ expressions dropped simultaneously.
Min Young, irritated, rushed to turn off the radio.
Park min young (Fl younger sister)
Ugh, love songs are the worst! Can they play something useful, like how to make rent money?(ꐦ ಠ皿ಠ )
Kim Ye-jin (Fl elder sister)
Yeah, or maybe a song about avoiding idiots at work.
(⁎˃ᆺ˂)
Kim Tae- hee (FL)
Honestly, who writes these songs? It's like they WANT us to gag. （╬￣皿￣）
Min Young dramatically sighed.
Park min young (Fl younger sister)
Or maybe a song about how to survive on instant noodles for a week. (ुŏ̥̥ŏ̥̥)
Kim Tae- hee (FL)
Seriously, it’s like every song is an ad for misery."
＼`•̀益•́´／
Min crossed her arms and added sarcastically,
Park min young (Fl younger sister)
Yeah, nothing says romance like crying alone at 3 AM.
As they sat for breakfast, Min cracked another joke.
Park min young (Fl younger sister)
“You know, with our luck, if love ever found us, it’d probably come with bills.”
Kim Tae- hee (FL)
Dang.....that's cruel...
Ye Jin laughed, setting the table. "With lyrics like...
Kim Ye-jin (Fl elder sister)
'Living life on a budget, no time for love!'"
The room erupted into laughter again as they continued to joke about the ridiculousness of love.
