it was always considered a successful day when she got off work before noon and there was a sale on ice cream . ahna found herself staring down into the freezer trying to decide which kind was the correct choice . vanilla was a classic but a little boring , she adored anything with fruit in the name , but there was also chocolate which she never regretted . maybe the solution was to get one of each . but then it would melt on her walk home and that was a whole other issue . maybe the way to solve her problem was actually to get someone else to decide for her . ❝ if you had to choose an ice cream , what would you get ? ❞ ahna called out to the entirety of the joja mart . ❝ there are no wrong answers ! ❞ that was when she glanced around to see who exactly was going about their grocery shopping and could help her out – spotting nabi . quickly , ahna stepped out to block the other girl’s path . ❝ nevermind , i’ve decided on chocolate – your treat ! ❞
nabi freezes, caught red handed—chocolate handed!—in joja mart, blinking at the shorter woman like this isn’t the consequence of her many, many terrible ideas. the first being when she was ten-ish and started a rumour about a chocolate goblin living in stardew valley, and provided proof to everyone who’d listen by nabbing their chocolate. it was the work of the goblin, clearly!
and now the local goblin’s all grown up and admitted her childhood pranks because she hadn’t thought the three years ahead to her graduation, and her return to stardew after revealing all her secrets. the younger woman grins and waves awkwardly at ahna, victim to her ingenious method of free chocolates when she was younger. she’d confessed the truth right before she left, and, well, this is only what she’s gotta make up for, so nabi picks up another ice cream bar, big chocolate label printed on it. “okay!” a grin, and a little jibe, “i think the chocolate goblin’s back!”

kang nabi is a firm believer in acting before thinking, and never regretting it. at least right now, while she’s still in the best years of her life to be making silly, embarrassing memories—in theory.
her silliest, most embarrassing memory greets her as she hops off the train from the airport, freezing her in her tracks. hwang haru, first boyfriend of a reasonable, whirlwind two weeks before their equally embarrassing, equally loud breakup when she’d left for the city. she remembers bawling on the train for all of five minutes before the heartbreak stopped hurting, and the letters she’d packed because it’d felt like the right thing to do that never made it out of her suitcase.
nabi ducks down, whole body sucked into the ground before she can think about what she’s doing. her luggage comes crashing to the floor with her, the loudest don’t look here ever. oh god. she’ll bet the nabi of four years ago would be delighted at this new experience for her bucket list, running into your ex. if haru even counts as a real ex, that is.
she flips her hoodie up over her head, totally inconspicuous in the middle of summer, and tries to duck walk her way out the train station before she really does have to check that off her bucket list.

CLOSED STARTER * / @wingspun·
jiwon isn’t exactly a punctual person . it’s not that she does it on purpose , it’s just that when she does get up and attempts to be a normal functioning person who arrives on time , all the gods in the universe seem to get together and do everything in their power to stop it from happening . and today is one of those days : she missed her first alarm , then her second , granted that it was her fault for staying up binge-watching yet another so-bad-that-it’s-good show that she would end up ranting about when she went on air . as if that wasn’t enough , a quick fridge check is reminds her that she ran out of her favorite drink — which leads to a somewhat familiar dilemma : go to work without her precious coffee , or visit jojomart and pray that her coworkers don’t try to kill her when she arrives . anyone with good judgment would pick the first option , but good judgment has always been something jiwon lacked so , instead , she chooses to quite literally run to the store . after checking the cold section that she comes to the conclusion that she might just be the most unlucky person known to earth , because there is absolutely no way her cherished joja triple espresso matcha latte ran out ( seriously , how many people in town could possibly not care about how close you’re brought to an heart attack over a terrible drink like jiwon ? ) . she happens to find the culprit pretty quickly , fingers wrapping around the stranger’s wrist gently to get their attention . once they turn around , all she does is point at the drink in their hand and say , “ that’s mine . ”
nabi’s gotten into a habit lately. stardew’s radio station has started a new show at approximately evening o’clock, or whenever their newest radio host comes on air, and she likes tuning in to listen to the strange little anecdotes jiwon tells, terrible puns sprinkled into questionable life advice that, inexplicably, kind of helps her out. she calls in, some days, marvels over the radio to hear the echo of her own voice while she works in the farm.
and, she’s been scouting the marts for this specific brand of a heart attack ever since jiwon-of-the-radio-show mentioned it—it’s always out of stock, though less to do with an issue of demand and more to do with the lack of that makes the supply at jojamart so low. the only person she knows who likes it is one really cool, really funny, really cute ( probably ) radio show host, and nabi’s been looking for it to drop off her little fan gift on jiwon’s desk someday. which happens to be today.
so she eyes the stranger who’s got their hand around her wrist, wanting the drink in her hand. “no it’s not,” nabi says, gives the woman the side eye. they’re in a grocery store. what kind of weirdo claims ownership over a drink they haven’t even paid for? besides, it’s in her hands. the younger girl makes a face at the woman, and points the drink at her. she can’t offer it to the stranger, she’s gotta make it in time to give her first ever fan gift ( and the woman seems kind of strange anyway ), but nabi feels a little bad for her. “this was the last one, but you can try the convenience store near the museum?”

(...)
he’s been here before , in this clearing , many moons ago . most of his childhood is hazy — most on accident and half on purpose , but he remembers this . a climb nara has crawled up before stands yards away from him , and the farthest part of his mind thinks he can hear the sound of his mother’s laughter as the breeze kisses his earlobes . the sight of nabi is a welcoming one , and one that’s becoming much more of a habit . ❝ it’s so fucking hot . ❞ the boy groans , allowing gravity to pull his body down towards his childhood friend . it’s both funny and odd how the pair find themselves following the same footsteps of their mothers — carving out the same safe spaces that they had themselves years before . nara’s breath hitches at the thought of it , at the mere idea of being so close to her again . it disappears as the mayor’s nephews lets out a laugh , a svelte finger plucking out the joint behind his air . ❝ i got another one for later . ❞ he admits , easily pulling out a bright red lighter from his front pocket .
nara lights up the end , the own flames in his eyes dancing in amazement at the spark before him . he takes a brief hit , immediately handing it to the other . the boy lays down next to her , a tall figure spreading out thin into the emerald grass . the sky is so blue , and chang nara feels like he could stay in pelican town forever . he folds his hands behind him on the nape of his neck , face turning to face nabi as a swoon worthy grin grows on his features . ❝ missed me ? ? ❞
from her vantage point now, nabi wonders what their mothers thought of them as children, little specks that they must’ve seemed from up here. the matched set that wasn’t planned, although the twinkle in nara’s eye was always mirrored in hers. wonders what they’d think of them now, from the big city and above, if they miss the childhood they had and the years snatched away. the two of them not quite the matching set anymore, but still fitting in the ways that matter.
nara collapses in next to her, familiar and yet newly so. “oh, you?” she jokes, laughs and pushes his face away from her, index finger tapping a teasing point against his cheek. “nope, didn’t miss you at all!”—and that’s why she ends up slinging her legs over his, leaning forward to pick the joint from his fingers. she holds the lingering warmth between hers before taking a slow drag, smoke and oxygen swirling light in her chest. nabi blames it on the combination of nara up close and the warmth of his thighs under hers and the headiness of the weed not yet sunk in, tugging on something in her that makes her cough on the smoke on its way out.
“y’know, i don’t think our mums could see us from here,” she says, tilting her head back to squint like she isn’t watery eyed from the roll, laughs at her newfound discovery and turns towards the drinks instead. “in honour of our mums extremely careful parenting... d’you want makgeolli first, or wine?”

STATUS: CLOSED - @wingspun
LOCATION: THE PARK
jinae wasn’t exactly thrilled at hyejoo’s current insect fixation, but butterflies she could handle. that meant a whole bunch of summer trips to the local butterfly farm where hyejoo had done everything in her power to charm the young new owner. it had obviously worked.
nabi had invited the two of them to the farm for a private tour where hyejoo was allowed to ask as many questions as came to mind (and there were many). by the time the tour was finally over, hyejoo was still bouncing around so jinae, thankful for nabi’s patience and generosity, offered to buy her some ice cream.
and that’s how they ended up seated at the park, bowls of ice cream in hand, and a sticky-faced hyejoo fast asleep on jinae’s lap.
“i was half convinced she’d somehow find the energy to keep going that strong all day,” jinae laughed, a hint of apology in her tone. “thank you again for everything today. i can’t tell you how much it meant to her. she’ll be talking about it for weeks, i can already tell.”
nabi’s hutch gets its fair share of kids—some apprehensive, some terrified, some ( very rarely! ) bored, and the butterfly farmer in question has her foolproof ways of dealing with all types of them. her favourite, though, are always the ones fascinated by everything, questions running a mile a minute and ever-popular can i touch them? on open, curious palms.
and her favourite of those kids ( but let’s keep it a secret! ) is the bouncy ball of sugar sweetness that is hyejoo, their most recent regular of the conservatory with her mum. nabi grins at jinae, marveling at the sleeping cherub in her lap. “i can’t believe ice cream got her to sleep, hyejoo’s totally built different, huh,” she jokes, lifting up the little paper bowl of lime sherbet that jinae’d bought her. “she went through it so fast, too.”
jinae’s thanks has her looking up again, quickly raising both hands up. “that’s what we’re open for! if you’re free next week, the eggs i showed hyejoo today should be hatching in a couple of days, so she can come visit and feed the caterpillars if you’re free,” nabi offers around her mouthful of lime sherbet. “hyejoo’s always welcome to visit! or if you ever wanna just drop her off and have a rest day for yourself,” she suggests, then presses her lips together, not sure how that offer’s going to fly. nabi’s not known for being the most responsible person ever around town... but she’ll hope she’d be high up on hyejoo’s most fun person around town list after the day they just had!

there’s a little spot a few paces away from the clearing around the mines, where the grass is soft enough to lie down on, and still warm from a stardew summer afternoon that makes it the perfect place for a secret hangout. nabi’s got her shoes kicked off somewhere on the ground, legs stretched out into the grass as she watches the sky dappled through the foliage, fluffy clouds drifting overhead. there’s makgeolli and a bottle of chianti scored from senlin laid out, much less fancy paper cups still wrapped up in plastic next to them. “dude!” is her greeting, waving nara over. “over here!”
it’s funny to think she’s back to spending her summers with chang nara again, visiting the same places their mothers used to take them as children. half a dozen years in between make for stark changes to them both, teenaged terrors unrecognisable if not for the matching scars on their sides and the stories still told about them around the town. he’s still the boy she grew up with, even if he’s taller ( and hotter ) and rougher around the edges than he was at fifteen. and change is always welcome, the shifting metamorphosis of their childhood friendship, as nabi glances up at his approaching figure and pulls him down towards her. “hey,” she grins, holding out her hands. “got anything fun for me today?”

@wingspun liked this starter call!
she’d arrived at nabi’s hutch by chance , having an inkling to see something beautiful. getting a glimpse of the butterflies who lived there made her hopeful for the future , something that seemed more and more shocking as life took turn after turn. it was starting to drop dark and the sunset had the sky bleeding red and purple. noeul hadn’t asked permission to be here , so when she caught a glimpse of nabi , she knew there would be little good done by trying to run away. she walked over to her and greeted the younger girl. “ hi , i’m so sorry to impose. it’s just that this place is so beautiful and , i don’t know if it’s childish to say , but butterflies have always cheered me up. ” the sight of the first fireflies of the evening glowing in her perepheral view caused the elder to still , her eyes going wide. “ wait – did you just see that ?? do you often have fireflies around here , too ?? ” the sight of them had her shocked and still , enraptured in the beauty of something so small yet so enchanting. “ i love watching the fireflies on a hot summer’s night. it’s the closest i’ll ever come to visiting the stars. ” the poetics of that sentence surprised noeul , who furrowed her brows at what she’d just uttered. “ huh , who knew i was some kind of poet ?? i promise i won’t slip into verse from here on out , and if you want me to leave , i’ll do so. i’m sorry for trespassing. ”
the summer season means holidays and tourists, and a million more visitors to the hutch than they usually get any other time of the year. which isn’t a bad thing, really, but... sometimes nabi decides not to hang the welcome sign on the door of the farm. a life hack for creating your own holiday during holiday season! the breather is nice, a slower pace for tending to her creatures with the occasional stray visitor—nabi’s hutch isn’t closed, after all, it’s just operating a little incognito, on the down low for today.
but speaking of incognito... the butterfly farmer giggles to see a shadow creeping around the creepers that the monarchs favour. she doesn’t know noeul all that well; she thinks, at least! it’s funny how they’ve grown up in the same tiny town, but their paths’ve never really crossed... right? “hiya,” she calls, “oh! no, you’re all good, we’re always open!” nabi gives her a thumbs up, tilting it off towards to the door. “i just didn’t hang up the sign today because i wanted to skive off! don’t tell my grandma, okay?”
the surprise in the older girl’s face makes her grin, exactly the reaction she loves to see whenever the hutch gets a first timer. the fireflies are just starting to stir with the rise of the moon, the flicker of their tails a soft glow against the dusky skies. “we get ‘em sometimes... when i leave the door open! here, come with me,” nabi invites, a little wave of her hand towards the patch in the conservatory that she knows the fireflies like the most, all high shrubs and tall blades of grass. she’s pretty sure her grandma planted those for that specific purpose, right against the side of the farm where the lightning bugs can get in. “i dunno about stars or poetry, but i think you’ll like this!”

dropping in a day late with nothing to show for it bc i’m a fool 😭 hiya hiya i’m melo ( 21+, s/h ) with my butterfly baby kang nabi!! she’s been in pelican almost all her life, went to a ~big city~ for university & made a big ruckus about leaving... & then popped back into town after graduation to take over her grandparents’ butterfly farm so it turns out she wasn’t leaving forever & ever ever ( dramatic goodbyes galore! ) 🤡 all i have is an about page but !! below the cut are some fun & exciting facts & plots!! please drop a like or an im if you wanna plot, or lmk if you’d like my discord!! 💖
FUN FACTS
her parents were both busy busy people, so she grew up a latchkey kid for a while before moving in with her grandparents who did have the time to take care of her
being raised by her grandparents did mean she got a little more spoiling than she was used to, so she’s got huge pampered only grandchild energy now
honestly was probably a bit of a class clown too so if something dumb’s happened, she’s usually somewhere in the middle of it
got her BIG BREAK going to the big city ( to be plotted where hehe ) for university on a scholarship & she made a hella big deal of it. dramatic goodbyes, last minute confessions of all her crimes, the whole shebang before she left
& it was super exciting & life changing & all that... except not as much as she thought? thought the city would change her but she came back & was like huh. nothing feels different tho. she’s still the same kang nabi!
so yeah! she’s back in stardew to learn the ropes from her grandparents to take over their farm, named nabi’s hutch after their very precious grandchild ( & bc i wanted to make a tiny pun ab the butterfly hutch from stardew )
chara inspos are heedo from 2521, dusik from hccc, heidi from the book series hehe
in my head she’s a bit impulsive but quite a determined person? self-assured & knows what she can ( rarely can’t ) do, sometimes comes off kinda spoilt / headstrong & will attempt to charm you as unsubtly as she can to get what she wants. a speedy go getter—though sometimes it backfires, when she jumps to conclusions or makes a hasty decision or just wants instant gratification
but also a huge lover of just!! being here & vibing & happy!! we’re young & its ripe for mistake making and lesson learning!! nabi’s excitable & loves doing big & exciting things but also loves tiny things like keeping an eye on a bud when it’s about to bloom or run around in the rain
PLOTS!
pelican town residents she told her true & honest thoughts about them ( or maybe some secret wrong she did... anything good/bad is cool hehe ) but now she’s back & kinda embarrassed
OR high school nabi confessed to u ( or broke up w u? ) in that heck it, i’m moving!! kinda way & 😭 if u see someone running away with a suspicious scarf over her head...
the one person who’s been getting mysterious postcards for the past few years bc nabi scuffed up her grandparents’ address
good ol childhood friends please her class clown in crime!!!! they’ve learnt every single soshi choreo together & that’s a bond that’ll never be erased
university friend ( from a more metropolitan place!! ) i don’t have any thoughts on where she went except big bustling metropolis so i’d be down for some fish out water shenanigans from nabi while she was in the city / ur muse while they’re in stardew now?
in the same vein!! a grump she’s dragging out to enjoy life & lighten up, run around & splash in rain puddles!!
she works at the butterfly farm/conservatory so plots around that would be fun!! do you think she looks like a lil butterfly fairy?? maybe u like the tranquility?? are u terrified & running outta there screaming bc u thought this was just a garden & a horde of flying terrors have descended on u?? possibilities are endless hehe
an honest sort of first love?? i haven’t finished 2521 but pleas
no thoughts head empty but let’s brainstorm hehe
