Wrap Me Up [Mi-Yun&Yuri]

wrap me up,

"...its the best time offf the yearrr," Mi-Yun sung along with Christmas tune. Although she spoke limited English and it probably didn't come out right, at least she was on pitch. No one was here anyway, she had the dorm to herself for a little while and it had just began to snow! In the spirit, she decided to put on some Christmas tunes and wrap some gifts she bought for new friends she met this year! She looked down at the collection of items. They'll love these I bet, she smiled wide. 

Grabbing the wrapping paper, some sissors, and some tape, it was time. She let out a huff and put on her determined face. She never wrapped a gift before, as her parent's hired help would always do it for her, but if they could do it then she certainly could! 

She pulled a decent amount off the roll and cut it from the rest. The line was jagged and the sissors kept getting stuck, but eventually it came off... Only a minor set back... she sighed. She placed the paper over the present and scrunched the rest behind it, crinkling it into lump at the ends. Then, taking the tape, she taped wherever she saw necessary.

Mi-Yun held the wrapped gift up. [example pic]

"Ohhh..." she wimpered, knowing it was terrible. She could see places where the box was visible and it was just... a mess. "I don't understand!! It should be easy!"

She tried again, using the same method. And of course, it turned out the same. Possibly even worse. Unfortunately, she didn't have a lot of patience for things she wasn't good at immediately. 

"Ugghhh, forget this then!!" She said angrily, throwing the gift box and the wrapping paper tube to the floor. Her childish attitude was emerging, especially as she crossed her arms and swiftly sat on her bed.

All this time she didn't realize her door was open, leaving any passerby to see her struggle.

Less than a week left until Christmas, huh..?

The Saturday before it meant today was the 19th, so that was six days by her count and she was pretty sure she passed math in year one of primary school. Yuri hadn't done a day of shopping or anything and when asked, she usually just told people she didn't celebrate it so she wouldn't have to go through all that trouble. This year was a bit of a special case, because now it gave her another excuse to interact with/try and woo a certain someone she'd been subtly attempting to woo for quite a while now. Early afternoon meant the day was still young, so she had plenty of time to head out and find an appropriate gift. The only issue was deciding exactly what to get.

Yuri pondered the thought as she exited her room, dressed warmly to fend off the white, powdery chill on the outside, adjusting the little scarf around her neck so it wouldn't get blown off by the wind. Just when she was considering turning back for a hat so she wouldn't have to carry an umbrella to protect her hair from the snow, a frustrated cry coming from her right caused her to stop. Something rolled about half a meter or so after it stopped bouncing, nudged her foot, and taking a peek down revealed it to be a roll of wrapping paper. Probably came out from the open door right next to her.

... Eh, a brief detour wouldn't hurt. Yuri plucked the roll up off the floor and approached the doorway, leaning a bit through and quickly finding the girl inside with her eyes. No doubt the source of that voice. "Uh, everything alright in here..?" asked Yuri, then holding the tube of paper up for the stranger to see. She took an actual step inside so she could straighten up again, her eyes glancing toward the poorly-wrapped gift on the floor. After a pause, she continued, "... Trying to wrap a stuffed duck for someone?"

That was what the shape implied, anyways.
