Storytime with fatcat
.
Once upon a time, 10000 fan wall posts ago, @wishfultoki started an errand boy gif story party.
All errand boys / girls beans were invited to join the story telling festa. Many did.
I decided to participate, & following the rules I picked up 3 drama tropes to be used in my story.
Except that I chose so random tropes that I didn’t know what to do with them.
Until @hotcocoagirl gracefully helped out & gave a nice structure, all I had to do was flesh out the story.
Except that I didn’t, because I was lazy.
Many many posts later, I’m somewhat less lazy, so I got back to writing the story.
Now let’s see what this lazy cat has managed to type.
.

.
So tropes are:
1.loan shark
2.hideous hairstyle
3.dirt poor character with expensive clothes

(You can save yourself, there’s no need for someone else) Poor girl falls in love and her life changes
(Fictional) story in the comments …

    Kitty was an Errand girl in training at a Mysterious (*coughs*fishy*cough) organisation aka X. Who knows how it was funded but it always had access to state of the art technology & the most talented people in the country at their dispense because for some reason those talented people never got proper jobs. Kitty was however, still in training. Apparently, neither the outer world nor this fishy world recognized her talents, yes she was talented, a genius in everything but we’ll never see her true potential because the lead guy needs to shine.
    .

    .
    Kitty was VERY poor, very verrrrryyyyyy pooooor. So she had to wear the same pair of mis-match high end designer heels to work everyday , those were her only pair, she treasured them dearly.
    .

    .
    She had a lot of clothes though, which she fit into her TIIIINNNY bag every time she switched rooftop rooms.
    .

    .
    (she had secretly mastered the undectable expandable charm from Hermione Granger but shh! Don’t tell anyone, her talents will always be underrated)

    Even if she was poor she always managed to have the latest fashion in her wardrobe because (priotrities) that’s how things work. She saved money & sent it to her even poorer family, they had a small shop & business but they were POOR ok? no questions asked. They used to live in country, but dad got into trouble with loan sharks, so they moved to the city to escape the bad guys. Her dad was still knee deep in debt. He had borrowed millions & millions & millions of Wons from everybody (apparently, he had not just borrowed for his business & family, but for the ENTIRE COUNTRY).
    .

    .
    This happened when Kitty was in elementary school. Their condition is pretty much the same in city but at least she got a (miraculous & permanent) glow up from the city air & now looks stunning.
    .

      Anywho, Kitty’s mysterious organisation X was so mysterious that Kitty didn’t know a lot about it either. The only other person she knew was Toki, the Errand girl Kitty was assigned to. Toki was really nice but she had her own troubles with an annoying secretary. Kitty sympathized with her.
      .

      .
      Apart from that Kitty barely knew anyone else. She wasn’t very popular either, apparently one has to TALK & SOCIALIZE with others to make friends. *shudders* Kitty couldn’t possibly do that?
      She just knew that the best employees were exclusively given the Errand job; highly confidential cases about which only the higher ups knew.
      .

      .
      Kitty’s job as a Errand girl in training was (nightime phone call operator) to act as a guide to these Errand Boys/girls & help them safely reach their destination in the dead of night by hacking anything that might help them.
      .

      .
      Kitty admired these people & wanted to become like them. But she was still in training, she waited patiently for her time to shine.

      One fine evening, Kitty was getting (smoothie) coffee to get ready for another night of assisting Toki
      .

      .
      when she heard other employees talking about THE ERRAND BOY of the century y’all! He’s back in city for a job & will be dropping by the HQ. Kitty has heard about him too.
      .

      .
      Apparently this extra extra mysterious person is the best employee evar! Nobody has seen him but there are lots of stories floating around about how he always finishes his job & has a clean record in their fishy company.
      .

      .
      He’s skilled in everything & gets to (show) use his talents everyday. He’s almost like a superhero & just awesome. There’s nothing he can’t do (except bandage small cuts, that position is reserved for his future lady love).
      .

      .
      He goes by the name Shadow. Shadow’s cases are exclussively handled by Ajhumma, the best Errand boy Assistant anyone can pray for, she’s THE sunbae. Kitty has good relation with ajhumma, she gifts her knitting kits & brings coffee to ajhumma’s desk because she’s so niceeee.

      So Kitty hears that Shadow will come to their office soon, but she isn’t excited. NO. She has work, so she’ll ignore all this. She sits at her desk to work. A few hours later…. Ajhumma calls Kitty to her office.
      Ajhumma: Kitty, I’m quitting today, I’ve already cleaned my office.
      Kitty: No Ajhumma! Why so suddenly?! Plus won’t you serve notice period?
      Ajhumma: This company has different policy, didn’t you read the t&c while joining? Anyway, that’s not important. The reason I called you today was to tell you that you’ll be taking my place from today. And that means from today! (dramatic) you’ll be exclusively helping Shadow in his job. Toki will be assigned a different assistant.
      Kitty: *dumbfounded* *incoherent words* but but!
      .

      .
      Ajhumma: Don’t worry you’ll learn, long time ago my sunbae dumped all the work on me the same way.
      Kitty: did you handle all the work with ease.
      Ajhumma: no, I cried. BUT I eventually learned to adjust, you will too. Now, let me introduce you to Shadow, you must know him in order to work with him.
      Then looking at the dark corner, Ajhumma said, “She’s Kitty, your new assistant Shadow”
      And then from the shadows of the corner The Shadow litterally walked out,
      .

      .
      scaring the bezeesus out of Kitty who jumped a foot in the air & almost had a heart attack.
      .

        Shadow was an extremely handsome dude(blah blah blah about his good looks & pose & outfit), but he was expressionless and COLD omg squeee, How attractive! *fans self* >.<
        .

        .
        BUT the most important thing, HIS HAIR! It was horrible, no, hideous. It canceled out all his good looks.
        .

        .
        Looking at Kitty he addressed ajhumma, “Can she handle it? It’s a lot of work”
        Ajhumma: ofc! She’s the best, she’s almost qualified to be an errand girl herself.
        .

        .
        Shadow (one eyebrow raising): Oh. Alright then, if you say so.
        He handed Kitty one flashdrive & said, “Today’s work” and just walked out of the door leading Kitty to wonder why he couldn’t walked IN normally like that.
        Ajhumma (turning to Kitty): Well, that’s settled then. Good luck Kitty, both of you will work well together but be careful, he’s just short tempered & doesn’t like mistakes.
        .

        With that, Ajhumma got up, took her things & left Kitty standing in shell shock of the stormy change that happened in her life.
        .

      But that was just the beginning of the stormy life that started with Shadow.
      .

      .
      Shadow’s tasks were the toughest & Kitty sometimes made little mistakes, was yelled at a lot. She slowly learned to adapt to her new position. But she did NOT like Shadow. How she longed to become an Errand girl herself.
      .

      .
      But weeks after weeks of working together, as Kitty thought about it, Shadow gave her a familiar feeling that she couldn’t figure out.

      Some time later….
      One random day Kitty was crossing the road lost in (her phone) thoughts, so she didn’t see the TOD coming, & almost went to heaven where her halmoni is but a hand flew out, grabbed her arm
      .

      .
      & pulled her into safety.
      .

      .
      It was Shadow! Both of them swirled fabulously
      .

      .

      .
      & Kitty ended up in his arms & their eyes locked for like 5 minutes & it was very swoony & confetti/snow/cherry blossom fell on them from above & a romantic music played in the background. [Skyfall by Adele]
      And that’s when Kitty remembered, he’s her long lost childhood friend! Her Oppa!!! Her first love!

        .
        Kitty: you can let me go now.
        Shadow let’s go of her, they relocate to a Starbucks nearby where Kitty asks her if he really is her Oppa.
        Shadow replies with hearts in his eyes that yes, he is her childhood friend.
        .

        .
        That he looked for her in this city, but kept his identity secret with the bad hairdo so that he could protect her from ze shadows awwwwwwww He even pretended to be bad & yelled at her to keep a safe distance. (Y’all, if he’s handsome then he’s a secret admirer else he’s a stalker)

        Over the next few days Kitty & Shadow bond over Starbucks coffee & Subway sandwiches.
        .

        .
        Shadow reveals his dark secret, THAT HE’S THE SON OF THE LOAN SHARK THAT TRIED TO KILL HER DAD FOR MONEY, OMG YOU GUYS!!!!!! But his feelings for Kitty are sincere.
        .

        .
        He also reveals the company’s secret, apparently he owns it, his dad’s best friend in the loan shark gang had a bit of conscience & after Shadow’s dad went to jail (serves him right) he took a young Shadow with him & made this company X that…. *drumrolls please* *dun dun dun!* CONS PEOPLE *tadaaaa!*.
        .

        .

        .
        But, plot twist, the company only cons bad people, & they do it very easily. (because the bad powerful guys don’t have smart resources on their side to tackle this con company. And even if they are powerful people ranging from the mafia to corrupt politicians & have on many occasions sent who knows how many people to the otherworld, they can’t do anything to this secret company)

      Shadow asks Kitty to become an Errand girl & work with him.
      Kitty: I knew I was qualified to be an Errand girl
      Shadow: No, I just want to protect you (because you can’t protect yourself) by keeping you close to me
      (very romantic)
      .

      .
      Kitty: at least I’ll get a raise?
      Shadow: ofc, now that you are dating the ceo of this company, you’ll get an excellent raise, I’ll buy you all the designer clothes & anything that you want.
      .

      .
      Kitty: (no I can take care of myself thank you very much) awww I’m touched.

      So Kitty decides to join Shadow & become a con artist too. To con the bad guys & save the world yay!
      Together they become the unstoppable duo known as Shadow Cat.

        OMG AJHUMMA KNOWS I EXIST! *fans eyes*
        Kitty, I love this even though you are no longer working with me. And your Shadow Cat romance moved at lightning speed. Guess annoying secretary and I are the slow-burn type 😂

        Can this be ep. 4 of The Errand Boys Story? If we put all these stories together we’ll have a cracking ensemble drama @hotcocoagirl. SO WHO’S NEXT?

        5
        2

          Sure. This can be a filler episode in between the main storyline of Toki & annoying secretary 😂

          (I purposely made it a one-shot because it’s so tough to type & then find matching gifs lol.)
          I hope to see the next ep of Toki & co. soon 😀

          2

            I’m having writer’s block (typical drama writer…starts a drama and doesn’t know how to continue it). So if someone wants to continue the Errand Boys Story feel free to spin the trope roulette. I’m willing to be sacrificed (literally if ToD appears, or as a character). It’s for art.

            2
            0

            No no. Nobody will sacrifice our precious errand girl Toki. 😂

            But yeah…I won’t be writing anymore cuz this takes a lot of energy. I’ll actively follow the plot progression though ^^

          Hehe, I love ensemble dramas! Also, how do I fit into this organization? Iโ€™m not an Errand Bean, am I?

          But Toki, I have a confession to make… Iโ€™ve already been writing more of Cocoโ€™s story, because I felt inspired…

          2
          3

            Great, I wanted to read more about Coco! You are an underground Errand bean reporter right? I’ll think about continuing my story after I read yours hehe

            Also, THAT PLOT TWIST @fatcat007! *gasp* So we con people but are good guys? I’m ok with that. All I want to know is how couldn’t I tell I was hired by a loan shark? Was he not wearing sunglasses and overall trousers? *mind boggled*

            @wishfultoki
            Well he’s an ex-loan shark. He’s not as dark their boss who’s in lifetime jail.
            Plus he retired.
            You were probably hired by Kitty’s current boyfriend The errand boy who’s the secret ceo, so you didn’t realize 😁
