you’re 18. you go out shopping. you hear a girl say, “buy me a smoothie”, lovingly, to her boyfriend. you flinch, and remember your words. “buy me tteokbokki,” you whisper to yourself.
————————
you’re 20. you’re studying to become a doctor. you go to a frat party with your friend, hirai momo.
a man you don’t know, the host of the party, ryeowook, tells you, “make me tteokbokki.” you glance at your wrist. “buy me tteokbokki. buy me,” you whisper, as you go make him some tteokbokki.
————————
you’re 22. momo found her soulmate, kim dahyun. you had a close call with someone named myoui mina. “hi, i know this is a weird question, but can you buy me some tteokbokki please?” you bought it, knowing she wasn’t you’re soulmate.
mina is now your best friend. you text her everyday.
you still hunt for your soulmate.
————————
you’re 24. you go clubbing to ease your pain from not finding your soulmate. “buy me tteokbokki.” you suddenly hear from behind you.
a command. not a question.
you turn and see universal superstar, kim heechul. he repeats himself, as you stand there, star-struck. “omg, oppar??” you exclaim, excited to have found your soulmate. “buy me tteokbokki and then we’ll talk, ok?” “o-ok oppar”
you buy him tteokbokki and return fully prepared to feed him, which is what he requests. once you finish feeding him, he says, “so you’re my soulmate? honestly, i expected something... more... idk... not ugly. you listen to instructions very well though.” you nearly cry from the compliment he gave you. “thank you oppar, is there anything you need me to do for you?” “buy me more soju.” “of course, oppar!” you respond, happy as ever.
————————
you’re 57. you and heechul had 10 kids. you make him tteokbokki for dinner every night. life is good.
