but i know that's not what you want,
if tomorrow the world ends, why shouldn't we be with the one that we really love? now tell me, who have you been dreamin of? โก
when the lounge enters it's vacant hours and there's no one around to entertain, it takes everything within arisa to find things to keep herself busy โค idle hands are the devil's workshop, after all. if left to her own devices with nothing to do on the clock, she may find herself in precarious situations due to her insatiable curiosity. such was the case for this night in particular; the group of male patrons that she was caring for had just made their exit, leaving her with a tip that quite honestly wasn't worth the amount of attention and coquetry she put into her service, but the money was still pocketed regardless. arisa attempts to busy herself by cleaning her portion of the bar along with every glass that had ever been of use or gazed upon, and when that was complete she also finds that eunwoo is nowhere to be found. and well, what else is there to do when your boss and good friend is unavailable to goof off with? it only makes sense to slip out of her place of business and into the vast expanse that makes up sunset galleria.
and just as the woman is about to make a beeline for sephora to see what new lip glosses are in, there's a familiar frame that catches her eye as she travels to a different location in the mall. there's a part of her that's certain that she knows them, a childhood friend that she reconnected with over social media who would tease about showing up to vesper lounge when she least expects it. but instead of clarifying the situation, arisa thinks it would be more interesting to turn the tables instead โค she finds herself shuffling behind the person before encasing her arms around them roughly in a back hug, laughing at the prospective jolt they most likely felt, "you thought that you could sneak up on me like that, huh? i told you thโค"
but how it plays out is that arisa is the one who ends up appalled at her own nature, as when she turns to look at their face, the person gazing back is unrecognizable, someone completely unknown to her. goosebumps graze her body as springs backwards with a gasp, hands in the air before they make way to cover tint of rose that blooms across her face, bowing profusely in the midst of her flustered moment. "ohโค oh my god i'm so so sorry! i didn'tโค i thought that you were my friend because you guys look alike and we were joking around that they'd see me one day and i thought that day had come but you're not them and all and you're cute but i've never seen you in my life before and i didn't mean to assault you like that dear god please i'm so so so so sorryโค"
โห โ โห ใ๏น๏นminatozaki sana. cisfemale. she / her.๏นguess who was almost late for their shift atย vesper loungeย againย ??ย thatโs right, it wasย yoshihara arisaย !ย itโs a wonder their job as aย bartenderย isnโt in jeopardy. theย 24ย year old has been working at sunset galleria forย three years, and is well known for theirย bubblyย nature. on bad days, they can be ratherย mercurial, though. when the mall is dead at night, they can usually be foundย prepping for a date at sephora cosmetics, but donโt tell their bossย !
and hi hi again! this is also rouge because i canโt help myself and this is a beloved muse โค so iโm bringing miss lover girl arisa, embodiment of affection! herย stats and personality pageย is also done and a rough version of her background will be below.ย please like to plot or also hit me up on discordย for her as well!
arisa is very much a local to daegu, her parents moving to the town shortly after her birth in osaka, japan.
unfortunately arisa was a very sickly child, suffering with a disease that gave her a weakened immune system and had her in and out of the hospital from ages 3 to 10. at 10 she had a bad bout in the hospital for several months where the doctors thought that she wasnโt going to make it, but ended up surviving in the end.
she had always been the typical girly girl who dreamed of a wedding and prince charming, fairytale movies were always played in her hospital room as she seemed to perk up while watching them. she likes to say that that love saved her โค not only from the movies, but her parents as well.
although many families have rather broken parental relationships, hers was quite the opposite. her parents were high school sweethearts that broke up and finding each other again in their twenties and never let go ever since. her mother showed her how women were supposed to be treated and her father showed her what to look for in a man. even several decades later, theyโre still playful and faithfully dedicated to each other.
so you could say that sheโs always been obsessed with the idea of romance. this obviously bled into her relationships, and has dated around a lot in her life, experienced a lot of heartbreak ( especially in high school ), but hasnโt found her prince/ss charming :( which has caused some self-confidence issues which makes her prone to moody behaviors at random.
but she started becoming โcupidโ after entering university and helping a couple of couples get together. it was from there that she realized how much she enjoyed helping people in general and decided to advertise her services to those around โค and definitely not because sheโs somewhat living through them at all! of course not!
this has also bled into her job @ vesper lounge too ... and around the mall in general, considering her reputation most likely proceeds her but she doesnโt mind that at all.
not only that but sheโs sure that she wants to be a therapist or a legit dating coach, so like ... technically this her building experience, right?
anyways yeah! this time i do have plot ideas so here they are below:
ofc off the bat anyone thatโs come to her for dating help or trying to get with someone in particular, sheโs your girl!
also past exes and past / current flings because arisa states that she isnโt dating to โfocus on herselfโ but the reality is that sheโs probably going through some sort of hoe phase looking for love in all the wrong places, lbr
this also includes past and current flirtationships too
someone who frequents the lounge mainly for her companionship / to get advice from her, as much as she loooves to talk sheโs also a good listener ( when she wants to be ) and probably beams as soon as you walk in! let her attempt to solve your problems!
someone who isnโt confident in themselves that she is working to build up, or even someone that sheโs trying to do a complete social makeover on โค think zero to hero and all those cliches
childhood friends! those who stuck beside her during her most vulnerable time and that she probably bends backwards over for
on the opposite spectrum, enemies because she was probably caught flirting with someoneโs significant other ( whoops ), people who thinks that sheโs fake and vapid ( valid ), werenโt happy that she wasnโt able to make their crush fall in love with them ( doesnโt work like that but okay ), got caught in her cheatingย entrapmentย services and found out, among other things
also someone that doesnโt like her who sheโs desperately trying to get their acceptance of for whatever reason
some found family b/c iโm always a sucker for that, or actual familyย
party friends! among so much more that i canโt think of, but letโs brainstorm!
okay thatโs all i got, thank you for your time if you got this far โก
