this is an ugly post bc mobile and idek who might see it, but thank you everyone for joining the rp even if i didn’t get to plot/write with you all </3
those are her thoughts as she stares down at the video she’s supposed to be watching for some random class that she had taken as a filler class. it’s boring as fuck and she wishes to be anywhere but here right now. from her desk, eunbyeol glances longingly over at her bed before deciding fuck it and climbing under her covers. she’s been in pajamas all day, and while it’s been shit for her focus it’s been great for the impromptu naps that she’s been taking. damn, she loves when professors cancel class. they should do it more often.
snuggling deeper into her blankets, she lets her eyes fall closed after making sure that her phone was next to her. there’s a slight flicker of annoyance at the thought of why she has to have her phone with her but she doesn’t think he’ll call her today, considering that it’s finals season and she had told him that she would be studying.
but, speak of the devil and the devil shall appear.
the all too familiar ringtone set to his contact sounds right as she’s about to nod off and she lets out a groan of frustration. the number of naps he’s ruined—! there’s a short moment where she considers not picking up, but as per their stupid contract—she’s not allowed to unless it’s very important. she stares for another long moment at his contact on her screen, wondering if she could will him to hang up before she sighs and answers the call.
danbi doesn’t get many opportunities to practice. while she much prefers getting use of her lockpicks, the residences she’s most curious about sneaking into have long abandoned keys in favor of passcodes. which… is fine, really. danbi couldn’t accomplish as much as she has by only getting in through the intended entryways. she simply feels a greater sense of pride wielding her prized tools to get through a door, as opposed to the more brutish task of prying or breaking a window open.
all of this is to say: danbi needs to work on bypassing those blasted keypads. luckily for her, the building she lives in uses those keypads. and there just so happens to be a promising room one floor down for her to test her methods on.
she thought about going for a vacant apartment, in the early stages of this particular plan. it would cut out the potential for getting caught entirely, as long as she timed her attempt right. but the longer she thought about it, the more danbi’s interest turned to her fellow tenants; she makes sure to time things, regardless. might as well pick someplace lived-in, and take a little souvenir of her success.
so one afternoon, she heads out for a stroll. buys herself a jacket that looks so nice, she can’t help but change into it before heading back home. steps off the elevator right before her floor, stops at a door that’d be right before hers, and takes out her phone as she sets her fingertips on the keypad. it’s not so hard to guess a passcode for one with a social media presence like this girl. danbi bites back a smile as she slips inside, not even sparing a glance around her; she’s more interested in gauging the worth of everything in the immediate vicinity as she closes the door. a cursory glance doesn’t reveal much, though, so she flips the switch as she walks in— and stops short at catching a sound besides her steps. a soft, even sound that she wouldn’t have noticed, if it didn’t suddenly change with her entrance.
eunbyeol hasn’t moved from her spot in bed in maybe three days. of course, she’s gotten up to use the bathroom and also to eat some chips in lieu of an actual meal but she hasn’t left her bed in probably the full three days. thank god her friends are all occupied in some way so she can get away with depression napping for days.
she’s pretty sure that someone will either come barging into her apartment or calling eventually when they find out that she’s skipped three days of class in favour of just laying in her bed and not doing anything. she can’t even explain how the last three days have passed by, because she doesn’t recall doing anything important aside from taking multiple naps a day and watching a lot of videos on youtube.
but when she hears the sound of the keypad, she doesn’t react more than just giving a groan aloud and burrowing deeper under her blankets. she’s sure that whoever it is will come in and yelling her full name, forcing her out of bed and probably into the shower or something and she doesn’t particularly want to deal with that right now. maybe if she pretended to be asleep?
or maybe she should just go and try to kick them out.
giving another loud groan, eunbyeol forces herself up and out of bed, pulling her short hair into a ponytail and rubs as her eyes as she pads down the stairs of the loft. “look, i know i ghosted you for three days, i would apologize but i’m not sorry—wait, who are you?”
if there’s someone normal he can usually get away with spending time with, it’s eunbyeol. that’s mostly because they’re both on campus a lot and his parents only ever see him posting food photos with her — not that junhee posts all that much. he just kind of lives in his instagram story. posts are too much commitment, in some ways — he always feels obliged to put some kind of caption. as eunbyeol would probably say, though, that sounds like a him problem.
his parents have gotten a little more relaxed as time passes by (his sixteenth birthday had come and gone with very little incident), and he still hasn’t met whoever is reincarnated as maleficient. he’s starting to think that maybe, just maybe — maybe they’re not meant to live in this lifetime and that’s why nothing has happened quite yet. so he’s been allowed to go out on his own more often, although he hasn’t really been very adventurous with his time, instead mostly spending it at the same places he always has.
just more often!
which is how he finds himself at cupid’s cafe once more (it’s only the millionth time this month) with eunbyeol, ready to try the latest confectionary for her beloved instagram. “what do you want to have today?” he asks his unlikely friend with a small frown on his face.
she thinks their friendship is pretty unconventional, considering they had met because he had rudely stolen the last cake out of her fingertips and then forced his company on her. okay, maybe her memory of the day was somewhat twisted but it was something like that okay? it didn’t matter anyway, because now she had someone who would go to cupid’s cafe with her to check out and buy the ~fancy~ cakes with her and help her eat them too.
it’s also nice that he usually pays.
(usually, she would go ugh, rich people here but she’ll let junhee be the exception this once. because he’s a nice rich person. who knew that could exist?)
“cake,” eunbyeol answers without looking up from the pastry display, eyeing the different cakes and slowly walking along to take in all of them. most of them are the cakes that are regularly stocked at the cafe anyway, but she’s looking for the special that they had posted about online earlier that day. hopefully it wasn’t sold out.
“aha!” she points at the cake once she’s located it, something with berries and mint and edible gold leaf or something fancy, and usually she wouldn’t go for it but it looked so pretty that she really wanted a picture of it. and maybe a bite of it too. “that’s the fucker.”
HELLOOOOOOO EVERYONE!! I AM SUPER HYPED TO START WRITING IN THIS UNIVERSE and to get to writing with all you people!! i don’t have much on eunbyeol’s blog information-wise, aside from her ABOUT PAGE, but i would love to get to brainstorming with everyone asap <3
gonna put some quick info and possible wc (?) under the cut!!
her fable is megara and she absolutely hates the fact that her soulmate is supposed to be hercules and she avoids sports and gyms bc of this
when she was in the normal realm, she died protecting her cheating boyfriend and while she has no memory of this, she has a special curse in her two (2) past relationships where her s/o cheated on her so she’s kinda sworn off love and shit
so let’s say she’s p much a commitment-phobe
but with that it would be funny if the girl that her bf had cheated on her with became her friend so ... possible plot?? [eyes emoji]
she’ll date and stuff but if anyone asks her to be their gf she’ll be like ... haha [fades into oblivion while throwing up a peace sign]
does a lot of dark jokes about relationships to cope <3
she’s currently a interior design major at the ever after university division (classmates? eats lunch at the same time? sees each other around? possible plots!!)
lives in the hollows (possible plot?) and is either super active (vacuums at odd hours) or is like non-responsive (will also lay in bed without moving for days) so neighbours could be concerned or smth (possible plot?)
she loves animals???? (someone pls let her dote on ur pet <3 she can’t afford to get her own but she can love urs <3)
