he doesnāt recall how it all began. one morning he found himself staring at an unfamiliar roof with weird posters on the walls and camera equipment stacked into one corner- jaehyun did not own a camera. heād gone through the whole stretching his limps out progress until he noticed the significant lack of morning wood and the addition weight of boobs but it wasnāt until he took a look into his mirror that he truly let his unfamiliar high pitched voice shriek him back to reality.
he woke with a start, this time to his own room, sweat on his temple, a concerned daeho in the doorframe, asking him if he was okay. āyeahā¦ weird dream I guessā¦ā he wished now it truly just had been one.
I never took you to be a swifty btw.
Good morning to you too. : )
after the dream, jaehyun begun spotting writing in his palms that wasnāt his own. usually it disappeared after a while, sometimes smudges left behind that he only truly learned to identify the source of when he woke up yet again in the unfamiliar room with identical smudges in his (her) palms. whoever this girl was- she was as much his perfect opposite as they seemed to share the same braincell. it was astonishing truly. ever since these weird interactions started, he often wondered what kind of connection fate was forcing them to have and why.
it took him another week and two more dreams to finally try and respond to her recent grocery list. ādonāt you think thatās a lot of snacks?ā ā?!?!?!ā and from that day on, the rest remained history. theyād slowly begun figuring out the rules and regulations to their weird ability on how to interact without ever really having seen each other while at the same time having seen their entire life holed up inside their own 4 walls.
how we never ran into each other is insane btw.
?
youāre a band photographer- I sing for one.
you simp for one? which one?!
SING!
kek your handwriting sucks dude.
heād never been the type to receive detention despite his mischievous tendencies at times. however now he had a feeling some of his professors wished they could assign detention with how furiously he was scribbling into his palms at times with clear disregard to the topic of the lesson he should be paying attention to instead. but that girl could leave him so focused on their bicker that he truly forgot to notice anything around him.
ahyoung however was smarter than jaehyun in that regard. more composed too. placing herself strategically in the back row of her lectures, she attracted way less attention. combined with the fact sheād had the habit of doodling into her palms, on desks or the one off chance she did have some paper on that; people barely bat an eye while she snickered away to herself.
Iām not telling him.
stop being a chicken.
itās bad enough that YOU know!
š
wowā¦ you really spent the last 5 minutes drawing that, huh?
š
STOP!
it was as frustrating as it was ridiculous. as theyād figured out the intricates of thisā¦ arrangement, it seemed like everything was fine- except their names. no matter how often theyād tried to tell each other their names, it just wasnāt happening. they knew everything about each otherās life; the people they hung around with, what music they listened to, their majors, the uni they went to- yet their names remained a mystery. whenever they attempted to share, the writing would simply become unreadable. even while attempting to bypass it and spell their name out with words- whatever upheld the rules for this odd connection would quickly catch up and make the rest unreadable once more. in the end ahyoung resulted to call him J, whereas she was known as A.
ahyoung often wondered why sheād never found it within her to just seek him out- look for him. seoul was a big city but it was still just a city. they could have run into each other without ever truly having known. the vague, foggy images of their dreams did little to have them recall each otherās appearance- which she also blamed on whatever weird rules fate had put in place for their connection. was he something like her soulmate? platonic, surely, but soulmate nonetheless. or perhaps a long lost sibling from another life time? her eyes drifted close the more possible scenarios she thought herself into, all thought of potentially finding him forgotten.
are you still sulking?
call insu after class for band schedule
come on J! donāt be ridiculous.
you erased my note :T
because youāre being an idiot. write him a katalk!
jaehyun sighed. A had a point- about everything. which was ridiculous, considering he didnāt even know her. he did decide to write insu a katalk but chose not to reply for now. he was a professional ghoster after all. and right now he wasnāt sure how to feel about this girl knowing his whole life story when heād never even actually met her. but that was a problem for tomorrow jaehyun. for now he had an exam to prepare for and a gig coming up this weekend that still needed to be organized.
ahyoung on the other hand was at first annoyed but now just stubborn. if he wanted to ghost her and be a dick about her trying to help, then so be it. sheād enjoyed her life before him, and she could very well continue doing so.
getting ready for another long night out, she lingered around the outside of the club where the bands of the night would be performing, cigarette between her lips as she tinkered with the settings of her camera. J was still on her mind even if she refused to tell a soul about it. there was so much mystery around this whole ordeal that it simply left her curious why it had all started in the first place. snuffing her cigarette out, she turned to head back inside when she bumped into someone, a quick apology muttered under her breath before a flood of images left her holding onto the door frame instead.
two siblings. rushing through open fields. sharing a watermelon by a river bench. the brother looking back over his shoulder, giving his sister a thumbs up in his army uniform while she turned her back on him, clearly agitated about something. the image of a blurry letter. devastated parents.
she looked up only to stare back into the eyes of a boy almost her age- maybe a year older- the exact replica of the guy from the images sheād just seen. however instead of saying anything, the guy reached for a pen in his pocket and began writing with trembling fingers, clearly just as taken aback by all of this.
and as he anticipated to see his writing mirrored on the inside of her palm, gaze fixated on it, ahyoung brought it up into both their fields of vision to display the messy āhello?ā written there. the female couldnāt help it. she laughed. loud. relieved. overjoyed to have met a stranger that didnāt feel like a stranger at all.

just a reminder to submit your gifts for secret santa by 11:59pm TOMORROW (christmas eve night)! the holidays only tend to get busier as they get closer, so please let us know if you won't be able to submit a gift in time so we can make sure everyone who signed up to participate gets something!
below the cut is a list of all participants and who we've received submissions from. if you submitted but do not see your name crossed off, please resubmit and/or send us a message!
this year for the holiday season, we're inviting all of our muns to take part in an out of character secret santa event! this is completely optional and solely intended to be a fun way to celebrate the holiday season with one another.
how does an out of character secret santa event work in a roleplay directory?
we'll collect the names and muses of all interested participants and after the sign-up deadline has closed, we'll randomly assign each participant another member to create a "gift" for. there is no monetary value to these gifts; instead, we'll all use our various talents to create fun little surprises! the gift could be a fanfic starring the recipient's muse(s), an edit of their muse(s), a custom photoshop template, a playlist, a blog or page theme, or whatever else you're inspired and able to make for your assigned gift recipient.
instead of ruining the surprise and sending the gift directly to your assigned recipient, all gifts will be submitted to this blog and released on a queue on christmas day. this way, we all get to celebrate one another's creativity together!
throughout the month, it's also encouraged to send kind anonymous messages to your secret santa recipient, if they have anon turned on. kind words can go a long way and it's always nice to receive positive affirmations regardless of the occasion!
SIGN UPS CLOSE AT 9PM EST ON DECEMBER 6TH
please use this form to submit your interest in participating in this year's secret santa event. we'll send out private messages letting everyone know who they are assigned to give a gift to as well as the deadline for gift submissions shortly afterwards.
