September 1st, 1895 — Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream Parlour, Diagon Alley

The next few days were like being on a train that you knew was going to crash, and having absolutely no ability to do a single thing about it. Then, he'd spend three days transforming painfully from man to beast to man. Ahn-Bo was a social creature by nature–being locked up in the attic for that long would be torture for him alone (no offense to Noona Eun-Ho, who really tried her best, though wasn't much of a conversationalist.) And the physical pain... he grimaced and clutched the bag closer to his chest.

He'd spent the morning running errands in Diagon Alley and has just finished—his bag filled with supplies and other goodies. The Collector had given him enough money to purchase his dosage of 'medicine' for the moon phase. The pharmacy had been his first stop. Then, he'd taken a short break to enjoy his first dose of opium. Sure, it was a few days early. But partaking in just a tiny bit wouldn't do anything but ensure he had a wonderful, happy day. He could certainly use one. Those were few and far between.

Then, he'd continued throughout Diagon Alley with a pep in his step and a cheerful grin on his face. He was friendly and charming and adorable. He used his pocket money to pick something up for each of his brothers too—fluxweed that had been picked on a full moon (ironically) from the apothecary for Taesu, a book he thought Ki-Se would like (a decision he had based solely on the cover design; it wasn't like he was going to actually read), a small leather-bound notebook for Jin, a ball of enchanted yarn for Noona, and a treat for Jae-hyun.

By the time he wandered past the quirky ice cream shop, Ahn-Bo decided he was absolutely famished. And what else did one do on an amazing day but have a little treat? He wasn't entirely sure what ice cream was, exactly. The aroma near the shop seemed nice enough, so he pushed through the door with one hand, the bag held tight against his chest in the other, and announced cheerfully, "Annyeonghaseyo! I'm here for frozen cream!" Wait, that didn't seem right... "Snow cream? Ice! Ice cream!"

annyeonghaseyo: polite way of saying hello

September was his least favorite month of the year – the weather was dropping, students were returning to Hogwarts (and they definitely didn’t get a Hogsmeade Weekend the first month back) and the shop was slow. It gave him time to concentrate on new flavors, but after the last batch had quite literally exploded in his face and almost taken his eye out, Ritchie decided he was done for the day. So he dismissed the cashier (with promise of full pay for the day) so he could man the counter.

He was polishing spoons when he heard a cheerful greeting following the ringing of the bell above the door, causing him to look up. Ritchie’s grin came easy after that. “Well, now you’ve got it – ice cream.” He nodded. “ “Frozen cream, snow cream, chilly-cow magic, I’ve heard it all.” And it wasn’t just from children. Adults had all sorts of weird names for ice cream, but it helped that the shop only sold one thing, so if they weren’t here for ice cream, well, they were in the completely wrong place.

Ritchie gestured to the neat rows of tubes behind the glass in front of him. “What can I get for you?” Although given that he hadn’t seen him before, and Ritchie was really good with faces, he wasn’t sure what to recommend. “Now, are you after something safe and sweet, or do you want me to surprise you with a little magic?” He had all of them, of course. The magical ones were always his favorite. “I’ll even let you try a spoonful first, if you’re feeling brave.” Ritchie must’ve been feeling brave himself, because he winked.

Bee made the lovely grey set<3

A friendly, disembodied voice had answered—oh wait, not disembodied after all. A smallish man with brown hair and odd-colored eyes. Blues, greens, and grays; he'd never seen so many varying shades before moving here. Before he could notice anything else, the ice-cream man was offering him the very thing he had come for. Ahn-Bo eagerly stepped closer to the counter, dark brown eyes widening at the varied selection. He found himself nodding along as he was told his options, attention darting to the many different colors and flavors. (To be fair, he'd have no idea what he was looking at, even if he'd been sober.)

He had brought his attention back to the man speaking, though he couldn't completely remember everything that had been said. And then the man winked. Ahn-Bo lifted the corner of his mouth in a smirk. He knew what that meant. Not that it surprised him. He was well aware of his good looks and charm. Shes, hes, gays, and theys all threw themselves at him wherever he went. Wait... he'd been asked a question, hadn't he? "Yes," he nodded, "That."
