name; bingsu!! usually just bing for short :-)
gender; male
prompt; bing's mother is from korea & she's told him many stories about the food, but his favorite story is about bingsu. when his mother was little, she would walk to the big city of seoul & get her favorite treat from a kind lady who ran a bingsu cart along the busy streets. something about that milky shaved ice piled high and drenched in toppings like fruit, nuts, and flavored condensed milk, always sounds so delicious to bing.
every time he visits korea, bing makes it his mission to find his favorite vendor, who just happens to be the one from his mother's childhood. however, these days the cart is always in a different spot! seoul's a big city, so every day bing takes his mother by the paw and they search, rain or shine, for that little old lady with the bingsu cart. sometimes they find her right away, sometimes they don't spot her until they're about to leave, but they'll never leave without finding her. bing thinks bingsu is the best thing for a hot day, or a cold day, or every day really.
the best part is, the vendor remembers bing & his mom! no matter how many years have passed between their visits, the vendor remembers his exact order: blueberry cheesecake bingsu, with fresh blueberries, a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, & extra blueberry sauce! he loves it so much that bing's mother jokes he was born with blue on his face to cover up the stains from his blueberry bingsu.
plus, the bingsu lady only serves her tasty treats in cups with a yeti face on them - with teeth that look exactly like bing's! when he's not in korea, bing hates his snaggleteeth; it seems like someone's always pointing them out or making fun of him for it. but when he's in korea and sees his favorite treat served in a cup with a smile that looks like his, he just can't help but smile bigger and be proud of his unique grin!
although it can take all day, it's always worth it when they find the bingsu cart with the friendly old vendor. bing can eat the treat every day & not grow tired of it because he knows his mother loves their tradition just as much as he does. it reminds her of sunny seoul days before she left korea <3
