` reflection ▸ jinwook & ella

jinwookgu

dance has become such a big part of her everyday life that sometimes even without running through at least one dance routine made her body uncomfortable. in a similar sense, it was almost like going a day without eating or drinking for normal people. but ironically, ella could go days without doing either yet -- definitely not a healthy routine -- so it would’ve been more like going a day without without blinking.

spending summer in korea was still a fairly new concept to the girl. summer vacations always turned into winter vacations since the two hemispheres never matched when she went back to visit. but due to her twin wanting to stay for the summer, ella followed -- as little as she wanted to admit it, the thought of being away from her twin and sharing the space between four barren walls with nobody did not seem ideal.

one great advantage of being at the university was that there was numerous more equipment for ella to use to practice. the lawn was desolate enough for her to practice outside if she wanted and the practice rooms were almost open. practice rooms were, of course, ideal since it was private and furnished with mirrors and speakers.

and so she found herself walking through the hallway looking for an empty room. until the rapid movements she caught through the window stopped her in her trance. her lips twitched upward. 

it was jinwook. 

even with only his back facing her, the young girl knew exactly who was it was. she had seen enough of his practices and performances to be able to differentiate his style; in a way, he was almost like a reflection of her. she watched in awe as the other continued to finish his number. great posture here, perfect transition there, it all just flowed. 

and in no time the song had finished and her hands found their way to turning the knob open to slightly open the door enough for her to step inside. she hoped he wouldn’t mind her intrusion -- although secretly knowing he wouldn’t. 

“that was real nice.”

her pen flew her notebook pages quickly, a line here and a line there forming quick sketches. no matter how good of a student she normally was and how much she enjoyed art, having summer classes just wasn’t her cup of tea. she was used to summer being so free, traveling to places where it would be the opposite weather, having a break from stress, and definitely not attending summer classes. but it was just the life she chose or they, she should say. instead of returning to australia for the summer, the twins decided to stay and take summer classes.

“and that is all i will teach about impressionism today,” hearing the slap of notebook covers and zippers gliding made ella put her pen down  and look down at her own notebook. she inwardly groaned after a glance of her own notes -- it started off good, but then ended with a bunch of sketches. and it wasn’t like ella wasn’t trying to concentrate, it was just that the professor had talked so quickly and her korean skills were still a bit below par that eventually she couldn’t understand and gave up. 

‘wait, wait. and before you guys leave. what’s summer school without homework?” complaints and sighs erupted through the classroom. “based on the lecture, i want you guys to paint your own impressionism painting. it’ll be due in a week.”

oh the regrets that ran through her body now.

21. Your character has been granted 3 wishes; what would they wish for and why?

- for her older brother to find a wife that would be well suited for him and help him handle work from the company. ella’s always had a guilty conscience for being selfish and choosing dance over a business major to help out her brother. whenever she sees him, it always seems like he’s too stressed and doesn’t even have the time to find himself some sweet romance. ella’s biggest worry is that he’ll be too focused he won’t find happiness for himself.

- for her parents and young sister back in australia to be happy and not feeling too lonely. it had been an abrupt decision for the twins to move to korea with her brother and she could only imagine the empty nest syndromes their parents were feeling if even ella felt so homesick at times – not to mention, her sister losing three siblings at the same time. sometimes she could only think back and wonder how that big house of theirs would be so gleeful with the six of them, and she can only hope that the happiness still remains with only three. 

- for her career to be successful and accomplish the dreams she’s always had. although to hates to think of it, ella cannot imagine putting so much work into ballet and not getting anything out of it. she’s put in too much effort and sacrificed too much to not achieve her dreams. 

11. What do they think of creation? Do they believe in evolution or do they believe in God? What is their religion like?

ella was raised in a christian family where her parents force her and her siblings to go to church every weekend and pray before they ate. her faith was quite strong back then, especially since she had friends at church. however after moving to korea, she nor did her twin attend church anymore; it was that no one was forcing them too, and ella still didn’t feel comfortable with her korean yet. though her faith has definitely simmered, she still believed in god. 

4. Do they have any verbal tics? Do they have trouble pronouncing certain words or getting their thoughts across clearly?

with korean as her second language, ella often uses “uhh” a lot in her sentences. most of the time, when conversing with others in korean, her brain processes it slower because she’s translating it back into english. then she has to also translate her response from english to korean so she unconsciously says “uh” a lot to fill in the time gap.
