she was really pretty. of course she was always pretty but she was particularly pretty in the sheer indigo blouse and his black blazer which fitted her as though it were oversized.

it was the first time he had seen her wear visible make up too, and actually make an effort toward styling her hair. which she didn't need to do - but he was really blown away by the fact that she did.

"do you have everything now?" heloise had run back and forth between the car and the house almost a million times, forgetting something each time.

"yup, i have my purse, my phone, my lipbalm-"
"what do you need lipbalm for if you're already wearing lipstick?"

she almost gasped at his question. as though it were forbidden to ask. "well, it's really simple, if for some odd reason my lipstick completely wipes off then my lips might get dry."

he raised an eyebrow but didn't question any further, waiting for her to do her seatbelt so he could begin driving.

"you know, heloise, i always wanted to know..."
she hummed in response.
"why don't you use your real name anymore? yet you told my mum that you're name is youngbyul?"

she pursed her lips a little and he felt bad for asking the question. it was probably something sensitive and he didn't want her to feel forced to talk about it,
"don't answer if you don't want to."

"no, i do want to answer. it's just... difficult. i feel like it's not even that big of a deal, and that if i tell you, you'll think it's stupid."
"i won't, i promise."

"well, it has something to do with the story i told you. the- the girl, i used to like, she liked my name a lot. she said it was pretty and always made up silly stories with it and whatever. and she used to call me her eternal star, because she said that's what it meant. but it turns out that forever doesn't really exist. and just whenever i hear the name, it makes my heart feel a little hollow. i think i've gotten over it a little, but it still hurts."

he nodded. it was perfectly valid, he couldn't understand why she would ever say that he might think it was stupid.

soon enough, they neared the venue of the party and heloise jumped out first.
"do you even know where you're going?"

"yes of course, my radio senses are telling me that there are some really sexy people in this direction over here."
