except i don't have any friends with korean numbers except mimi whose number you already have

so it probably wouldn't have worked that great

fuck yes!!!

i think woo-young doesn't hate me yet even, this is gonna rule

I'll send you the address

see you~

There's a little bit of outfitting to get through. (Marza has grown out of the phase where she pretended not giving a shit what other people think meant she wasn't vain and a little bit socially anxious.) She decides to show up in a red cocktail dress which she's pretty sure is overdressy enough to be clearly intentional and mildly entertaining, without making her look like a stray bridesmaid. And metallic gold eyeshadow, blingy but not too Trixie Mattel.

She shows up at the address and scans the heads for – yep, there's the grass she was looking for.

"Good evening," she says, slipping into a seat. "Either you gentlemen are Yoo-min and Woo-young's – nim's – partners, or I'm being very weirdly trolled. How are you both."

"Good evening, Marza-shi."

"Good God Joo-ya please drop the formality."

He grins. "I'm Choi Seungjoo."

"Seo Tae-hwan."

"And I'm Lee Tae-gun."

Ooh aah. "Wow, Gunbae, it's such an honor! Did you do something to your hair? And your ass? Anyway good to meet you both and uh. Also Woo-young-shi who I just remembered I hadn't in fact met in person before. You have the teddy-bear chat sticker nature, I recognized it from the door."

"Glad to be recognisable."

"You settling in alright?"
