y/n\~
i’m here\~
y/n, i missed you too.
ㅎㅎ
ugh… kim soomin.
there’s something i need to say.
seriouslyㅠ
we agreed to buy pajamas together at donki
but she picked this weird kitty… leopard print…?
and i was like, “uh… hold on,” debating for a moment
but in that moment,
she switched to yooyeon unnie
and the two of them ended up matching
to make it worse,
she’s matching with hyerin too
seriously, i feel so betrayed by our soomin
how could you do this to your unnie...
someone go and tell this to kim soom’s fromm
“then just do couple with yubin”
that’s the plan.
what, does she think i don’t have other options or something?
i’ll go back to korea and order something cute and pretty to match
lee jiwoo doesn’t count
she’s too marumaru about everything
ha... anyway
yesterday, soomin and i were talking all about pajamas
and now, looking back, i just feel so sorry for my yesterday self
betrayed chaeyeon
seriously, when i saw that kitty leopard pajama in yooyeon unnie’s basket,
i thought
“huh... unique taste”
but then soomin said she bought it together with her
wow, at that moment,
the back of my head
felt the sting of betrayal
no, not just a small sting—
a huge betrayal
so at the checkout, i said to soomin,
“kim soomin
i’m disappointed
you betrayed me”
and she was all,
“oh, unnie, no that’s not it;;; i… i-i already bought it;;;…”
i don’t even know what else she said
and then,
do you know what she told me
when i said again,
“i’m disappointed. you betrayed me,”
she replied,
“no, i bought it as a match with hyerin too
not just with yooyeon unnie;
the three of us are matching”
and i was like,
“soomin-ah
yooyeon unnie and hyerin don’t matter
who you’re matching with doesn’t matter
what matters is you and me
you and i made a promise,
and now it’s broken…
it’s not about who else you’re matching with
it’s about us...”
my first wound from soomin
fine, go ahead and have your happy leopard-print time with hyerin and yooyeon unnie
“comfort yourself as the one who signed a fromm contract with chaeyeon”
falling for me
hehe
during this japan schedule,
it feels like a lot of new people joined fromm
after handshake events and fan signings
babies
‘but i think i started liking you even more after the handshake and fan sign’
so embarrassing
ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
let me tell you about the stuff i bought today,
or, more like everything i’ve bought since being in japan.
***\*(voice memo)***
wow, those pajamas are shocking
you know what
i’m glad i didn’t buy them
the visual of those pajamas...
it’s... shocking
jeong hyerin, kim yooyeon, and kim soomin
when those three wear that,
i’m not standing anywhere near them…
chaewonie, jiwoo, and i
are just running away in horror right now
mayu unnie is hilarious too
when i saw the two of them in those pajamas,
i asked mayu unnie,
“unnie, what about you? would you wear something like this?”
mayu: “no”
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
taste
i mean, if someone really loves leopard and hello kitty,
they might find it cute… but,
even though i like hello kitty…
this is just…
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ honestly, if it were soomin, since she’s cute
i’d wear them together with her
but kim soomin. you betrayed me first
so it doesn’t even look cute anymore
sigh
how frustrating
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
i mean, i could wear it around the house,
but outside? never… oh no
soomsoomie wants to wear it outside too
ㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
can’t stop her…
“hyerin said she'll at least wear the zip-up cutely?”
fineeee...
hyerin and soomin,
have a lovely relationship...
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
calling it a unique design is... a compliment, right?
for now, it seems like
chaewon, jiwoo, mayu-chan, and i
all dislike it
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
we fled just now
tomorrow,
i’m heading back to korea
i can’t believe it
is korea cold?
i was planning to wear a coat tomorrow...
“korea feels so gloomy without you💌 “
hmm,
it seems like korea will be fine??
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
hehe
hehehehehehe
hehe, i love you
even without me,
korea will go on just fine…
but y/n won’t, right…?
spinning round and round
but no,
y/n can still work hard,
study hard,
rest well, and have fun,
even without me
but if i’m there,
you’ll do even better
ㅎㅎ
“what’s chaeyeon doing right now? did she explain everything to soomin?”
no, no, i’m fine now\! pajamas
don’t matter anymore.
i have plenty of options too\! 😎😎
let’s call this story
kim soomin’s don quijote pajama betrayal incident
and move on
our soomsoomie
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
what did i buy, you ask?
not much this time
when i looked at the total on the monitor,
it seemed a bit over 100,000 won
i spent 50,000-60,000 won yesterday too
firstly\!
fabric softener\!
i bought two bottles
i loved the scent in korea,
so i made a mental note to buy it in japan\~\~
and kitty bath powder??
that,
and hair oil,
hairpin of the female character from anpanman,
my melody hairpins,
fino hair pack
two of those
foam cleanser,
and\!
tamagotchi lip balms ㅎㅎ
i bought three of them
i was going to buy just one,
but then i thought i’d regret it later, so
tamagotchi multi? balm? lip balm? anyway,
they’re cute
i got three different designs
strawberry scent? and some soda scent?
i didn’t check the scents;
i just chose them based on the designs
and a cogimyun headband\!
and a cogimyun mini plush keyring\!
and a canelé keyring\!
this time, i only bought necessary items,
and just two cute “useless” things
praise me; i held back a lot
the cogimyun plush and canelé keyring
were inevitable
there’s a story behind the canelé keyring,
but first,
*🗣️: “so originally, i had two keyrings i bought from yokohama: a melon bread keyring and a tempura shrimp keyring. i had both of them attached to my bag, but then our company’s manager saw them and started admiring them, saying, “oh, chaeyeon this is so cute” and really want one of them”*
*🗣️: ”so, it wasn’t exactly like they took it from me, but it was almost like i gave it to them”*
*🗣️: ”they kept eyeing the one on my bag so much that i thought, “wouldn’t it be better if i just bought a shrimp one and gave it to them instead?” but they said, “no, this one’s fine,” and attached it to their car keys”*
*🗣️: “so, the melon bread keyring left me at that point. and i thought, if i ever go back to japan, i need to get myself another melon bread keyring”*
*🗣️: ”then, at don quijote, i found the melon bread keyring again\! there were also shrimp tempura ones and others, but as soon as i picked up the melon bread keyring, i started thinking, “do i really need to buy the exact same one again? i already had it once before, so is there a point in buying it again just for myself?”*
*🗣️: ”it wasn’t even for a gift, just for me to have the exact same one i already had. i kept wondering, “do i really need to get this melon bread again?” and while i was debating, my eyes met the canelé keyring”*
my eyes met the canelé keyring
*🗣️: “i don't know, it felt like i was possessed or something when i picked up that keyring. there were a lot of other keyrings, with three or four in stock for each design; like tempura, dango, sushi, and others”*
*🗣️: “but there was only one canelé keyring left, just one. so i grabbed it, like it was fate, like we made eye contact. it was almost like we fell for each other, mutually, in that moment”*
*🗣️: “so i picked up two keyrings, and for a second, i thought, "should i just buy both?" but in the end, i put the melon bread keyring back and only bought the canelé one. the decisive reason i went with the canelé keyring is funny; just now, when i mentioned "canelé," everyone in the chat started bringing up "karum." it reminded me of the vlog i filmed two years ago, where i was goofing around trying to make it entertaining” (t/n: signal references)*
*🗣️: “back then, i was playing around with a canelé, saying ‘canelé drum, karum’ and trying my hardest to make it funny. it felt like such a nostalgic moment, so i thought, ‘i have to buy this canelé keyring’ something about canelé just screams ‘kim chaeyeon’, so the melon bread was out, and the canelé won”*
*🗣️: “and that’s the story of how i chose the canelé keyring. end of chaeyeon's canelé keyring tale”*
that’s the canelé keyring story\~ the end 🤎”
two years later,
i, who used to play café games,
bought a canelé keyring at a japanese donki
*🗣️: ”oh, and about the story of how i ‘lost’ the melon bread keyring—it’s funny to even phrase it that way, but anyway, it’s like this. actually, the manager put it on their car key. seeing that, for some reason, it just made me happy. like, ‘ah, that’s nice.’ seeing such a cute keyring on a car key somehow gave me good vibes”*
*🗣️: ”but then, i did have the thought of like, ‘ah, maybe i should’ve given them a brand-new one as a gift’ you know, since it was originally attached to my bag and all“*
*🗣️: ”chaeyeon’s life seems like a novel?” (wav asked)*
*🗣️: these fateful stories… is it creating chaeyeon? that's how it is. but you know, all of you are writing your own novels too. so, the nuance of the word "novel" feels a bit strange. maybe. this sounds a bit off-topic, but anyway, i guess i do assign meaning to things sometimes”*
*🗣️: “still, i consider all of that to be small joys. is not like assigning meaning to something harm anyone, right? It’s just for my own satisfaction. so, I hope you all find small joys in your daily lives”*
*🗣️: “hearing the story, i think i made a good choice. right? honestly, the melon bread keyring doesn’t have a particularly special story behind it. i just bought it because the melon bread was cute. but the manager did something nice with it, thinking about it now”*
*🗣️: “chaeyeon is good at telling small stories.” (wav asked)*
*🗣️: “thank you. that's because you like me, and the stories i tell are not that special, and they're pretty insignificant and trivial stories, but because you guys like me so much, it seems like you enjoy listening to them”*
should i show you the cute items
i bought?
not the daily essentials—
just the cute stuff
i feel like bragging
“it sounds like you’re writing a novel ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ💌”
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ let me finish my bit too
hold onnㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
wait a min, i’ll take pictures
***\*(voice memo)***
***🗣️**: “shion shion, let me introduce some cute items i bought today and yesterday”*
*🗣️: “first, your voice is being recorded now”*
*🍞: “hi\~”*
*🗣️: (explaining the items she bought) (t/n: translator got too lazy sorry guys)*
*🗣️: “do you like canelé too?”*
*🍞:”yeah”*
*🗣️: “i have three canelé in the fridge right now*
*🗣️: “do you know the history of canelé?”*
*🍞: “no?”*
*🗣️: “it’s related to me and canelé”*
*🍞: “really?”*
*🍞🗣️: “....”*
*🗣️: “shion is not interested in me…”*
*🍞: “sumimasen”*
*🗣️: “and that was shion’s reaction bye bye”*
*🍞: “bye bye,”*
*🗣️: “ah your voice is really pretty”*
ah, shion’s so cute
trying hard to react
with all her energy
*🗣️: “but isn't shion too kind?”*
*🗣️: “she a really good friend”*
“💌 i could feel some sincerity about the canelé”
at first, i might’ve thought it was an edible canelé
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ now, let’s take some pictures
here we go
*🗣️: “now”*
*🗣️: “i will reveal it to minasan”*
anticipation kudasai
drumroll together, everyone
***\*photo***
tada\~
i couldn’t take pictures of stuff like
foam cleanser, hair packs, or fabric softeners
essence and other daily stuff are just too much
i only took pics of the cute stuff ㅎㅅㅎ
aren’t the tamagotchi lip balms cute?
the reason i got three of them:
the canelé keyring is the star
honestly, the cogimyun headband and hairpins
aren’t useless at all, right?
the headband? i use it when washing my face
the hairpins? for holding back stray hairs or during cleansing
the tamagotchi lip balm? it’s multi-purpose, so you can use it when your lips are dry. plus, it’s cute, and each one smells different
the cogimyun keyring? you hang it on your bag
the canelé keyring? it’s owned by café queen kim chaeyeon
good
everything has a reason
“kim chaeyeon? she belongs in my mouth 💌”
what’s this?
what’s this? spit me out
wow, molars
wow, a tongue
sorry.
am i tired?
ㅋㅋㅋ
anyway,
isn’t it cute?
ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
y/n\!\! come to think of it, today’s december 1st ㅎㅎ
can you believe it’s already the last month of the year? time flies so fast, right? since i’ve been in japan, running on a schedule every day without a sense of time, i only realized it was december sometime this afternoon… as soon as i realized it, i wanted to contact wav right away ㅎㅎ the fancons in osaka and tokyo here in japan were such happy moments. meeting so many people during the handshake event and fan sign yesterday and today made me so happy, too. and\! having small conversations in japanese made me even more eager to improve ㅎㅎ i’ll study harder and show a better version of myself, even better than when i was good at it in middle school 🩷
thank you for starting december with me. december is my favorite month—not just because of my birthday or christmas\! i just like the fact that it’s the last month of the year. it’s a time to reflect and wrap up the year well. plus, my birthday is in it… and i love snow, too ☃️ that’s why i love december ㅎㅎ i’m excited to spend this december with wav, too. this recent hachi schedule was so much fun, and i was grateful to receive the mma award in japan as well\~ tripleS is… one, after all\! 👯♀️ it’s a shame we couldn’t all go together, but i won’t cry. i’m a queen. Queens never cry.
anyway, let’s have a great month together\~ i’ll always be by wav’s side, so we’ll get through this just fine ❤️ i’m heading back to korea tomorrow…
nihon wav no minasan, thank you for making my time in japan so enjoyable. i’ll be back again\! ❤️
kim chaeyeon, returning to korea …….. ❤️
