Bye Guys, Hi Ladies — *Moah*! by Camellia Peebles




키가 미쳤어. 뭘 ♡.♡
Tall enough to ruin my posture and my standards.
I'd stand on tip toes.
키스! ✗⚬メ0

Classically Seoul handsome — the kind of face your 할머니 would approve of before he finished
one word.

*Dimple punctuation included.*༄˖°❦

Husband material I can't afford.

Socially.

Economically.

Tragically.

I also want to put him in a cage.

Contradictory statements?

아니요~
대형 강아지 케이지.૮ ᴖﻌᴖა

A large one. Comfortable. Plenty of ventilation.

I'll feed him **just** the marshmallows out of Lucky Charms — tell him of his perfection, mean it
every time.

He prefers mean girls, anyways.
His *own* words from perfect, upturn lips.

나 mean girl 맞는데? I'm right here! I have watermelon!! Pst-pst-pst-pstttt.⋆.𐙚
He would approve. smile. dimples. 보조개.
Illegal.

안돼 위험해~!

Still, something inside me collapses when he smiles.
Too soft for me.
Too pure.
Too gentle.

The kind of man who would let you climb him like a tree and then ask if you were comfortable up
there. ᓚ₍⑅^..^₎♡

그를 지키고 싶어. I want to protect him from everything.
Except me. 히히.

He doesn't know I exist. That's fine.
The cage is not optional…
장난이야~o.o

Lucky Charms also non-negotiable.
Like. My. Love.જ⁀➴ ♡

별을 쫓는 소년들, 수올아!
I'm right here.
Waiting.
With marshmallows.
Extra clovers.☘︎ ݁˖
