Complete Inseparable

[Crimson Ruby]

JFK International Airport, 12:15 PM​

The sound of the plane's turbines howling from afar as it neared a landing was the sign Yuhan needed to know when her beloved sister was finally arriving.

She fidgeted, glancing at the watch on her wrist almost instinctively as she took a deep breath and stood up from her seat, hurrying to get to an open area where she would be able to spot her sister and she would be able to be spotted as well.

There was a lot of feelings rushing through her heart and mind right now. Both from what her aunt had told her, and of course from the expectations of what exactly her sister thought of her nowadays. So much had changed, it has been four years... How much she had grown was already known, but only by pictures.

Another deep breath was exhaled, and when Yuhan blinked to look up... Her eyes met the young girl, escorted by an adult that was one of the many puppets her family back in China had.

Regardless, she approached, offering the 'puppet' a small grateful smile and nod while her sister still didn't notice her.

With a light greeting, the puppet left.

"... Bao." Yuhan smiled. "It has been so long."

Her heart has been so heavy the whole trip, Bao could barely hold it back, almost as if it had a mind of it's own, eager to run ahead of her own body. The beautiful blue skies and clouds were a nice distraction, her first time on a plane and hopefully the last for a long while, but the closer she got to her destination, the noisier her mind got.

The nice man that accompanied her helped Bao with the luggage, the two of them sticking out like sore thumbs. From all they could have made her wear for the road, cheongsam was the most uncomfortable option nowdays. Bao didn't mind, as this IS an important ocassion to look good and wear red.

"Jiějiě..." A greater bow followed, but Yu could tell where her sister's eyes went. They waited for the man to leave, to finally let the last set of eyes that belonged to her family go away. No hesitation afterwards, she lunged forward and wrapped her arms around her sister, as tight as her arms could help it. "You look old!" Bao giggled, knowing the hug had gone far longer than it should, and as if it were a burden on it's own she took a few extra seconds before finally freeing Yuhan from her grasp.

"They insisted." She gestured at herself. Right, she looked the part as if she's never left her homeland and neither had Yu herself with how easy to recognize the style was among all the americans coming and going on the busier-than-life airport. "I'm sorry Jiějiě, I can't help it." It proved harder than the every-day routine to keep a tear or two out of her glassy eyes right now. Despite the smile, the serenity that radiated from her.

From reaction and speech alone, Yu can notice how reserved and formal she's been raised to be, almost like they wanted a 'puppet' of a girl, weighed down by the strive for perfection.

When the only obstacle that was stopping them was gone, Yuhan lowered to take Bao's full embrace, giggling herself when feeling her sister in her arms.

The way Bao worded things made Yuhan breathe a laugh, squeezing her sister softly in her arms and allowing her to linger in the hug as long as she wished before they parted from it. "Me? Look at you, you've grown so much!" She said with a proud smile. Her sister still looked as lovely as ever,

Seeing the teary eyes of her sister, Yuhan remained calm, knowing that these weren't ones of sadness or anything similar. "Why are you apologizing?" Yuhan smiled faintly. She knew the reason very well, so that was but a rhetorical question as she rested a hand on her little sister's cheek, wiping away any tears with her thumb.

"Strong girls cry too. Just like anyone else." She said, a small attempt of correcting the mistake her family did.

Yuhan remained within Bao's eye level for a bit, not wanting to look distant in their reunion, something that Yuhan has been longing for a while now.

She pushed up, euphoria having taken over her as Bao tried to lift Yu, even a few cms would count as a victory, but that's the best she got before the two parted from their hug. A fit of giggles followed where Bao glanced over at herself then up to her sister, puffing her chest out and folding her arms against it with all the pride she could muster. "Very! And i'll keep growing, so don't wait for me and get bigger you too." Solemn in tone as her own mood took a little spin.

One Yuhan took quick notice of despite her best efforts to keep it back. "I dunno." A timid reply lolled out, while her hands fidgeted with one of her twintails, fingers twirling jetblack locks, while her sight dropped low as if reprimanded, meeting with Yuhan's as her thumb washed away a tear and the palm of her hand soothed the aching in her heart.

"I wanna be strong like Yu. Auntie told me you are the strongest." A belief not even a hammer could shatter out of her. "I don't wanna to see you cry though, even if you are stronger than me." A feeble smile curved her lips, her hands picked up on Yuhan's, rocking them gently from side to side. "I missed you, so please don't go to another country again. At least take me with you to another american-speaking place, I don't wanna learn more languages" And hers is still kinda bad, even if improved considerably for her new residence here in the west. But she hoped this one would be the last, english classes are enough to make her fall asleep, she don't need something like russian or italian if it tickled Yu's fancy to travel again.

When Yuhan felt Bao trying to lift her, for whatever it was the reason, she decided to play along and while Bao's eyes were focused on hers, she got on the tip of her toes, to give the impression that she was lifted off the ground for a bit effortlessly.

"Oh, wow, so strong too!" She praised with a chuckle, looking at the smaller girl with an amused expression, showing a warm smile when noticing her puffing her chest and being all proud looking.

There was a warmth growing in her chest at her sister's words, and Yuhan had to fight the urge to hug her once again, contenting herself with simply ruffling the girl's hair. "I am the strongest for now. Soon a certain girl will be even stronger than me or anyone else ever." She said with an encouraging tone to Bao, laughing as her hands were moved around.

"Don't worry." Yuhan stood, looking at Bao. "We will stay together for as long as you want. And of course, in a place that you won't need to learn another language." She had no plans on moving anywhere else after all, even if this country wasn't the best one for her, it sure had a few things that made her dreams vaguely achievable.

"Woah!" She gasped, her lips pursing together a second after. Did she... Did she managed to lift her a bit?! Yuhan confirmed it seconds after. "I've been training hard." Bao squeezed her right bicep, flexing real hard her noodle arm and puffing her cheeks out to add a bit of comedy to the whole 'Look how strong I am' act.

Bao gave a closed-eyed smile once a hair ruffling came by. "You really think that?" She replied, almost daydreaming just from encouragement alone. "Just point me in the right direction, dǎoshī. I won't fail you." A double nod after, and Bao set a hand over her baggage, dragging it by it's handle.

The reassurance had her sigh in relief. She toyed with the idea at first that maybe Yu would be jumping around countries like a rabbit her shoulders loosening up after that. "By the way, I brought a laptop. They told you, right? They want to do long-distance calls just to know I'm doing well." The fact they only specified herself and not Yuhan flew over her head. "So... Where to? We should get a cab or a bus now, right?" She tilted her head to the side, quizzical. "Hmmm... Oh! Or maybe you got a car, Jiějiě?" Her free hand stroked the air as if she had an invisible, sage's beard for a moment, right before stretching that hand out for Yuhan to hold.

@Crimson Ruby

 

[Crimson Ruby]

Yuhan chuckled at Bao's words, taking her hand and then offering to take the little girl's baggage, making sure she would have more freedom at the same time she wouldn't get lost in the crowd of busy passersby.

"No, I don't have a car. I live four hours away from here, so things can get a bit boring with a car, driving for so long, I mean. For shorter trips I just use my bike." Yuhan said, then looking at Bao with a small smile.

"I didn't have my favorite little sister in here though, so maybe now I should get one. Unless she is courageous enough to get on the back of a bike?" Yuhan teased, though honestly she preferred to avoid putting a teenager like her in such position.

Even if you ride a bike perfectly, there is always a chance of accident and that will usually go bad to the rider.

"For now we will take a cab, but we should probably eat something first? We are in New York City after all, there is a lot of fun things to do in here." Yuhan suggested, looking at Bao while waiting for a response.

.

She was more than glad to let go of her baggage for once. One less thing for her to think about as she squeezed back her sister's hand, listening intently for a moment before a giggle broke all of her attention once Yuhan explained. "Wait I don't get it." She spoke between snickers, a humourous smile growing on her lips as she gave a second glance back at her. "You say driving a car for so long is boring, but then you ride a bike. Wouldn't that make a trip longer? Why not just use a cab for both?"

"T-the only one!" She added. Oh if only she could hide her head like turtles do right now, but she found pride on being her favourite in anything, really. If Yuhan said it, it was worth enduring the ugly airplane food and dealing with a confusing foreign language. "I ain't falling for that, Jiějiě." Sticking her tongue out, Bao rised her free hand and tapped her knuckles against her forehead. "You hit your head reeeeal hard if you think you can take us back home on a bike with all the stuff I'm carrying." A smug side-glance shot back at her.

"For now we will take a cab, but we should probably eat something first?"

Stars glittered on her eyes, the passing-by reminder of what they served her on the way here almost turned her off from the idea, but a growling stomach said otherwise, and all these emotions just portrayed on her face in no more than ten seconds! "Uhmmm, how about hand-burgers?" Puppy eyes activated, her voice turned into mumbles as she shot the idea, having taken the bait from all these american commercials she's been looking at as of late. "And-and they come up with toys, too.."

@Crimson Ruby

 

[Crimson Ruby]

Yuhan didn't quite understand Bao's giggles, but as soon as her little sister spoke up, she paused and handwaved with a chuckle.

"A bike, like, a motorbike. Like vroooom." Yuhan mimicked an engine very comically. "So it is actually as fast as a car, but like I said, I use it only for short trips." She said, emphasizing it again and then leaning away a bit.

"I do have a bicycle too, but I only really use it around the place I live." It was convenient, but trying to go to a nearby town with it was a bit tiring, as possible as it was. Her eyes then rolled playfully. "Of course I won't. I would be arrested if I tried too." She shrugged, continuing to guide her sister as she mentioned the infamous child-corrupter strategies of the capitalist juggernauts of Fast Foods.

"So you want that?" Yuhan rose an eyebrow, peeking at the nearest WcRonalds. Tugging her softly, the two of them soon were in front of the counter.

A generic Fast Food clerk stared at both of them, waiting for the order while Yuhan leaned down. "Alright, you want a Cheerful Meal, yeah? What toy you want with it?" Yuhan asked, pretty much translating in real time for her sister.

@Little Birb

 

[Little Doggo]

.

"OH!" Bao scratched her own cheek as a reflex. "Vroom-vroom bike. Didn't know you liked these..." It was a surprise, as if she didn't know Yuhan at all that these were news. "That's amazing, Jiějiě! Would you teach me?" Ever-growing interest flourished across her face. Suddently, motorcycles were the coolest thing in the world if Yuhan used them.

No surprise on that one, Yuhan IS the coolest person in the world to her, so that automatically makes bikes the coolest ride, no arguments there!

Bao listened once Yu explained the consequences if she tried to take the both of them on her bike right now. Maybe if she brought less with her it wouldn't have been such a problem? But she couldn't come any lighter than this. Only essentials were packed, and that still covered a lot of things for Bao. Yet proximity as a topic reminded her- "Do you know if the school i'll go to is near? If you are going to come pick me up i mean..." Eyes snapped open for a second, pursing her lips together. "You will, right?" Heart and voice filled with hope.

"So you want that?"

The question already had her regretting even bringing it up. "I mean, at least once. To try it out." She timidly retorted, eyes already peering for a more big sister friendly alternative, yet without even noticing it they were already on the way to a WcRonalds, and while Yuhan made her own order (catching up a word or two in the process), Bao kept a thankful smile waiting to be noticed.

What toy to pick... That caught her off-guard, and had to give a long thoughtful look at all of them, long enough for the poor clerk stuck with the sisters to almost give up it's customer service smile, already worn out from the stressful work-hours they were forced to deal with. But Bao was blissfully unaware of all that!

"Hm, I don't know any of thes- HEWWO KITTEN!" Exalted, index finger pointing straight at that big headed white cat, a generic copypaste from all the same hewwo kittens... But this one had glasses! and a pink dress with white dots on it!

The full-time worker didn't need a translator to know exactly what she asked for, and merely awaited for their order to be complete before leaving the chosen toy wrapped on a protective little bag right next to the Cheerful Meal she ordered.

"You sound so natural, Jiějiě. At least I got a bit of what you said. Not sure what you ordered, though." That escaped her, but she hoped some clarification would go along, given her indirect questioning.

@Crimson Ruby

 

[Crimson Ruby]

"When you are older? Sure." Yuhan said, looking at Bao with a teasing brim in her eyes. She turned to face forward, looking at the endless meals that certainly weren't good for her health being reflected in her eyes. Humming, she tilted her head as she tried to get her memory to work.

"There are schools near our town, yeah" She nodded, glancing at Bao, noticing the tone of her question and smiling gently. "Of course I will. I can't let you all by yourself." Yuhan chuckled, raising an eyebrow and then focusing on her order.

After having everything ordered, they neared the waiting line. "I ordered a BigWac. It is the most popular one-" She said, despite all of them tasting almost the same thing, for whatever reason that was the most popular.

"Wait, so you picked up a bit of what I said?" Ruby asked, approaching the counter and picking their orders up.

"That's nice! This means your english is already pretty good?" She wondered.

.

"When you are older? Sure."

"Prooomisee?" Dragging the word for a bit, Bao leaned towards her sister just a lil bit, as if exaggerated body language would make her argument any more convincing.

The fact it would be a town and not a crowded city gave her little introverted heart a rest. Schools would be less populated, so would the streets not feel like human traffic overtaking the sidewalk, and perhaps she could even get to listen to western birds! If nature was any different, she had to figure it out on her free time, when she's not focusing on her studies.

"Of course I will. I can't let you all by yourself."

Pearly teeth flashed on her smile, she had to work hard to not embarass herself and break to tears for something so simple, even she could call it childish and dumb. "Jiějiě you are the best." She said, giving a quick squeeze at her sister's hand. "Just for that, I'll do the chores this time around, for real this time!" Light-hearted promise, but Yuhan knew just how much that meant: Because Bao barely did her chores in time in the first place, not when big sis could cover for her without anyone finding out.

It was taking an awful lot, mainly because of how many people had ordered before them in the first place. The wait had her wiggle her toes inside her shoes as hunger took over. "It's probably a very 'wacky' meal." She winked in tandem with her pun. Yup, very proud about that one, and just when their order came around, Bao took their drinks on both hands, if only to lessen the burden on Yu before it turns into a balancing game with their meals.

"Ah? Oh! Just a bit. Did you asked for pickles?" She chuckled. Well she wasn't sure but that's what she got out of the exchange. "Proobably not that good, but I'm getting there! I got this little pocket dictionary- I dunno who came up with the idea of a mini-book but someone's gotta fire them!" She giggled, taking the lead this time around to help them find a place to sit, which wasn't very difficult, masses of people aside. This airport was, by all means, gigantic, and it shows with their circular design when it comes to their food chains surrounding the center.

Once they sat down, Bao attacked the Cheerful Meal with equal cheerfulness, unwrapping the burger and taking a second to admire the peak of capitalism's meals, and the reason the whole world thinks they are all fat and unhealthy in the first place.

"You never tried these before, right? I know we shouldn't but..." Her eyes met Yuhan's, a gremlin's grin spread over her lips, almost like she was about to break some divine law out there, right before she took one bountiful bite onto it. "Noh uan can staph ush now!" She happily munched.

@Crimson Ruby

 

[Crimson Ruby]

"Promise." Yuhan said firmly, letting out a brief chuckle and raising an eyebrow at Bao's sudden offer, one that Yuhan didn't really ask for, but caught her attention regardless. "Really? That would be wonderful. But I thought you hated chores?" Yuhan questioned, pondering if her sister had a change of heart or if she simply was trying to show off some maturity.

The following english pun, however, showed that it was probably the first. Even if it wasn't very serious.

"Very wacky, yes." Yuhan joked, showing the burger and finally going for a bite.

"Hmm~" She hummed, enjoying the taste while looking at her little sister doing the same. It was a silly and mundane thing, but one that Yuhan never expected to experience again after deciding to leave her family.

"Of course I tried some of these before. I've been here for a while... besides..." Yuhan cleared her throat. "I did eat some hiding from our parents back there. I just never told you." She smirked.

@Little Birb

.

With their sisterly promise sealed then and there, Yuhan brought up a question that, despite how expectable it should have been, still got her on her backfoot. Not literally, as she just swung her legs back and forth on an idle rhythm. "Yeah but I wanna help!" Bao hastely replied, giving her soda a tentative sip. She had to show she's capable, reliable! Adults do stuff they don't like all the time, a synonym of responsibilities for Bao, something she had to take now that they would live together. Reliable, that's what she wanted to be for Yuhan.

"The drinks aren't that wacky though, yuck..." She followed up the jest chain. More like liquid plastic or wet cardboard. It did kill her thirst though, and left her face on a cringeworthy expression, simply because she couldn't take anymore of the cheap taste.

"Hmm~" Yuhan hummed, and Bao didn't take long to tag along. "Hmmmm?" The surprise wasn't the fact she ate them already, one has to try something to know if they like it or not, but her jaw almost drops at that cheeky revelation. "Wha!" She yelped, swallowing hard the last chunk she bit off from her cheerful meal. "So that one day when I told you your room smelt weird, it was a burger and not the season?! A-and you never shared!" She huffed, a smile slowly creeping up her lips, a pinch of pride for her sister's antics pooled on her. Couldn't even be mad if she managed to fool everyone that well. "Hewwo Kitten disapproves." Bao retorted, picking up the toy with one hand still on it's wrappings and wiggling at up and down, moreso nodding than condemning. Leaving the toy standing on it's own two cat feet, she conitnued "Niāng's eyes were everywhere, I still get chilly when I remember falling asleep after taking a lil' break from my dance lessons. Mama wasn't happy." Still a fond memory of simpler times. To believe Yuhan could avoid their parents's hound-like attention...

"Tell me everything!" She added, giving one last bite to her burger. It left her wanting for more, but they made them small for that very reason. Fortunately she still had her fries, so she focused on these. "What do you do here, what's your job like, can I be with you while you work, is it fun?"

@Crimson Ruby

 

[Crimson Ruby]

Yuhan watched Bao struggling to take the sip of the soda, smiling faintly at her and leaning in. "We can just grab a juice for you, if you want? It isn't the same as homemade juice, a little too sweet I'd say, but at least it isn't too yuck." She suggested, understanding that the soft drink was a bit too much for her little sister, that was barely even used to having this sort of 'food'.

Bao's words caused Yuhan's cheeks to become rosy in embarrassment. "H-Huh? You mean my room was smelling weird?" She asked, pursing her lips. It was many years ago, and she wondered if the weird smell was actually from a burger. "No... I... I didn't eat the burger at home, my parents would find it easily. I ate it after school, with friends and... Yeah..." Her face reddened more, taking two fries and thrusting into her mouth, averting her face sheepishly.

Her eyes then shifted to Bao, tilting her head. "I'm bringing you here today though, aren't I?" She chuckled, pausing and pondering.

"My work? Of course, but only when you are on your days off. You won't skip school to watch me working." Yuhan squinted in a playful scold.

@Little Birb

 

[Little Doggo]

.

When the offer for some juice came along, Bao immediately jumped into it with frenzy-like nods. She just had to give her 'drink' a last glance to be sure of it, as if they had stuffed poison into it and she wanted a way out of it. Might just be poisonous really, who could even drink that stuff and remain healthy? "Anything that isn't what I just drank right now." She added.

Rosy cheeks caught her eye for a moment, little sister instincts kicking in as something happened, and the sudden shyness came completely unexpected from an otherwise confident Yuhan. She folded her arms, trying to recall just what exactly she said that could have left them with such an awkward situation, giving up after enough proding at her mind got her nothing. "It wasn't a burger then..?" Was her sister just as bad with chores as her? That seemed to be the only thing coming to mind right now. She took another sip from her drink, the horrendous thing started to grow up on her yet the borderline sugary sweetness kept her at edge, just what she needed to bring forth a scolding frown and wag a lecturing finger back at Yuhan. "That's totally a reason for me to do the chores then! I didn't know you were so unclean, Jiějiě." She huffed and puffed her cheeks, glancing away as to feign disappointment with closed eyes. The left opened first, and an innocent smile pushed the curvature of her lips back up once again.

"It's okay, Yu. I'll make sure your room ain't smelly anymore." She turned to face her fully once again as she spoke in a far more relaxed, supportive tone, waving her hand as if that would be enough to cast aside her older sis's worries in general.

"I'm bringing you here today though, aren't I?"

That got the cogs on her brain engine to spin once again, index finger tapped at her mouth. "That's a good point. Still, your smelly room won't be forgotten!" She retorted, lips rising into a half-smirk. "Unless you get me that glass of juice." She felt like an empress right now with how she had her sister between the wall and the sword with that!

Until she turned the tables on her with a playful scold, right as she swallowed the last of her fries. "Is that a thing around here? Skipping school? Westerners are so weird." She snickered, blissfuly unaware if this could apply to Yuhan too. Impossible, not in her head, Yuhan was the perfect old sister who would never dare to! "Do I get to play with whatever you work on? Oh! do you have a studio maybe?! How's western music like? Oh there's so much you need to show me, Jiějiě..."

@Crimson Ruby

 

[Crimson Ruby]

Yuhan chuckled at her sister's response, standing to go and order a juice for her. The throwback at the room's smell was momentarily ignored with the clear of a throat and Yuhan shrugged.

"They can be weird at times." She nodded. "Hmmm, I can let you use a few things. But playing in my work won't do. You can use my studio though, it isn't big, but yeah..." Yuhan said, taking a napkin to wipe her mouth after one last bite and looking at her phone. "Oh, we should hurry before the transit goes crazy-" Yuhan said.

---

As soon as her little sister was ready, Yuhan took them and everything they carried to a road, crowded with people. Calling a taxi, she gestured for it when it approached and smiled to the driver, who stepped out of the car to open its trunk.

Looking at her little sister, Yuhan encouraged: "Alright, do you want to put your pack in the trunk yourself? If not, give it to the driver." She said.

@Little Birb

 

[Little Doggo]

.

With Yuhan's return with the prized juice, Bao couped her hands around it and took a long, long sip to get rid of the carbonated soda from earlier, paying attention to how her sister had something to say, having far more experience with the west from all these years, and that wisdom is..."They can be weird at times."

Bao nodded along, with a 'mmmhm' hummed along. "Wait, really? You gonna let me use your studio even?" Now that shocked her, but right as she was about to elaborate on just why, big sis gave a look at her phone and got them on the move, with Bao hastely nomming the last of her fries before tagging along with her luggage

---

When prompted to, Bao puffed her cheeks instead, giving a glance at their tall driver who simply smiled, both out of politeness, and because the young girl braving up to the apparent task gave him memories of his own daughter.

Gently, Bao dropped the luggage on the trunk. "See? I can handle it." She winked back at Yu, holding her sigh in for a few extra seconds just to keep that facade of pure power of hers!

"Nicely done." The driver cheered, right as he turned to get back into the car. Bao, on the other hand, just shared a look of confusion back to Yuhan, all her bravery just poofed in the air once she heard the driver speak.

"Where to, miss?" He glanced over to the mirrors, making sure no one's coming behind them at first, eyes set on the front as he waited for some directions out of the duo, particulary from the one in charge.

Bao took note of how Yuhan handled the situation, her accent, even the way she mouthed the words out. It was easier with a familiar face to learn rather than books and a teacher. At least in her own personal experience. "You getting one like this? Vroom vroom?" She added, turning an invisible car's wheel infront of her instead of a bike's handles this time around.

@Crimson Ruby

 

[Crimson Ruby]

"Very good job-!"

Yuhan giggled at Bao's good work and at her reaction to the driver speaking to the littld girl. She ruffled her sister's hair gently and turned to the driver, telling him the address. The driver nodded, adjusting himself to the seat and telling them to wear the belt.

Holding Bao's hand, Yuhan opened the door with her free hand, urging the girl to take a seat before doing it herself.

"Yes, now that you are here-" Yuhan nodded. "Driving on highways with a little girl on a bike isn't a good way to do it. A car is safer and all. But it will be a small one." She added.

It wasn't like she had a whole family to carry on a car, after all.

"It will take a bit though, a vroom vroom like that isn't cheap." Yuhan chuckled, looking away for a moment. Thankfully, Yuhan wasn't poor, but as successful as she was for a niche artist, she was still a niche artist.

"Is there any place you would like to visit? It will take a bit for you to get in a school, so you will be technically on a school break for a week or so."

@Little Birb

 

[Little Doggo]

.

Bao quickly hopped on when prompted by Yu, squeezing her hand the entire time, her face practically red out of embarassment from moments earlier, moreso with how big sis took notice of that. Once inside, she buckled the seatbelt first things first, turning to pay attention once Yuhan explained-

"Driving on highways with a little girl on a bike isn't a good way to do it. A car is safer and all. But it will be a small one."

"You gonna sell your bike just for me?" She questioned, worried for the most that it could be an inconvenience. For a reason she chose a bike over a vroom vroom car "It's obviously safer but! I just hope it doesn't bother you, Jiějiě." The fact she could joke and even laugh about it though gave her hopes that wasn't the case. "Nothing is ever cheap. Specially vroom vrooms, but we can always just take a bus. That's like, vroom vroom's big sister." She giggled to herself after giving that a second thought- Yuhan the bus driver.

"Is there any place you would like to visit? It will take a bit for you to get in a school, so you will be technically on a school break for a week or so."

Bao glanced over the window, to get a better view of the road, the international airport, the background in general. The people that come and go, not so different to China if not slightly different in clothes barring the extremes, and some haircolours being quite... Fanciful, to say the least.

"Hmmm." She finally steered her eyes back to Yu's, humming outloud for an extra second or so before a smile took over her. "I wanna learn all about western food! I really want to cook dishes for you and just try things out by myself, but I don't know which brands are good or yuck... So maybe we could go shopping?" Yet even she wasn't fully convinced about it. "Hmm, I really wanna go sightseeing too. Can we fit all in one day? If not, then I wanna go to your studio! You could show me a few of your projects before you get all famous." She teased.
