village market



the village market.

The market is expansive, as everyone in the village gathers every Sunday to buy, sell, and trade with one another. Hollering of old ladies and the whooping laughs of old men fill your ears. One woman quite forcefully tries to get you to buy her watermelons "Best watermelons in the village! Especially compared to Mrs. Xiong's over there!" she leans in close to you, "I heard that she uses chemicals to make them grow faster."

The heart of village gossip, friends and rivals gather to update each other on everything. Mothers brag about their kids, fathers try to drink each other under the table, and the older children run errands. Plates of produce are everywhere, the smell and sound of live animals is in the air, and some old man tries to get you to eat roasted maggots. Is that even healthy? You decided to pass on the maggots and look at the list your family made for you. Where is the rice? You ask yourself.

Admission is free! Make sure you bring money because whether you like it or not, that old man will force you to buy his roasted maggots.

@Chanhyuk (L) hyeri let at a 'woAH' when the dumpling guy leaped over the table, and she clapped a bit because it was kinda cool. she smiled and nodded, "i'd like that! i've already been to the temple, but that's about it!" when he hugged her back, she teetered back and forth, rocking them. there was something slightly off about him in hyeri's eyes, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. it was like an unreadable mesh of hope and despair mixed together and radiated from him, and it honestly sent a pang through hyeri's heart. she wanted to give him hope! "this village is a lot nicer than where i'm from!"

@lee hyeri The table between the two was kinda in the way and wasn't sturdy enough for him to climb over but he took the chance and put a hand on the table then jumped over. He stumbled like an idiot and them brought himself back up, "Y'know, I-I don't think I'm going to get many customers today... I haven't seen you around here... I could show you around if you'd like?" he questioned and then making an "oh, right" face stumbling over to hug the young lady, patting her back. His vision was a tinted grey due to his gift but, the girl wasn't completely in the darkness and he kind of felt it was his responsibility to bring this girl back to a vision of vivid bright happy colors.

@Chanhyuk (L) hyeri put a hand over her heart as she looked at the carefully wrapped dumplings, lips quivering with joy because these dumplings just meant so much to her. she honestly started crying a little, "tHANK YOu. i love you. let me hold you" she opened her arms wide for chanhyuk, "my dumpling angel"

@lee hyeri "O-Oh N-No Need for that Miss!" he said, grabbing the girl's small wrist so she wouldn't hit him upside his head like the one elderly lady did last week after slightly over cooking her dumplings. He handed over the dumplings that were wrapped in a white cloth, "they're still a bit hot, so I would just wait a little." he said with a gentle smile. This was probably the only sale he was going to make since the village was so empty and peaceful today.

@Chanhyuk (L) "are you okay?" she asked as she scanned the area for flies to swat down like the vermin they are, "i'll protect you from any flies dumpling man!" hyeri slipped of her shoe and began waving it around chanhyuk's head. she smiled to herself a bit too, as four dumplings for the price of two was literally a dream come true.

@lee hyeri As he looked down at young lady's trembling hands, holding the coins in her hand, he pursed his lips and got a huge sharp pain in his stomach. "Aish!" he snapped, putting a hand on his head. Trying not to look like a freak show he continues with an, "...Such a...stupid wasp!" swatting around him as if there was a huge horse fly, "Mianhaeyo, of course you can. I'll throw in two more on me, O-K?" he said putting up an "ok" sign with his fingers and grinning before beginning to wrap up the dumplings.

@Chanhyuk (L) TWO? hyeri could cry because finally something she could afford without becoming a broke _____. her face literally lit up like a tree on christmas as she counted four coins, "can i have two dumplings then?" she handed the coins to chanhyuk and was ready to cry because this would be the first fresh thing she's eaten in a while honestly.

@lee hyeri Chanhyuk made eye contact with another girl who was far out of his league. Of course, not the absolute first time. Just another of many but he shook off his nerves and gave a full smile, "Waahh! Good Morning Miss! Dumpling are only two shiny gold coins today! And, they're SOO FRESH!" he nodded a couple of times quickly.

hyeri jingled the change in her fist as she made her way through the market crowd. she heard the other village folk murmuring about her unkempt hair and dirtied face and her tattered clothes, but she didn't let the words get her down. the smell of fresh dumplings wafted into her nostrils and she immediately put it in gear to find them.

at the dumpling stand was an awkward looking thing with crooked glasses and an equally crooked smile. "um excuse me?" hyeri asked, "how much is a dumpling?"

Chanhyuk sighed with content looking out from his regular post, having to duck occasionally from fishes being throw back and forth. He smiled widely showing all his teeth and pushing up the glasses his grandmother bought him as a Christmas present. Though it was a little crooked and there was a slight crack in the glass near the corner of the frame; he was very satisfied with his life. It was hard to be the way he was due to the gift he was given from who knows, but he tried his best to keep himself sane enough to stay modestly happy in life. Today was a bit of a slow day and he really wanted to make some good money today. He waited for at least one person to pass by to catch his eye, that he could call over and sell his fresh dumplings and ginger.
