born and raised in south korea now works as a pastry chef/baker for camp zarafa. she discovered this place years ago when she was going through something. an affair she never wanted to be a part of, nor had any knowledge of. her first love broke her heart and her trust. it turns out, she was just a side chick of the person who she thought she loves. played with her feelings for awhile until she catches him with the original. since then, she ghosted him and stops responding to all his calls and messages and flew to camp zarafa to heal. and never did she bother them again.

the island truly is a magical place. for the most part, her stay was really relaxing and that helped her slowly move on. then the next, she fell in love with the island and its culture. since then, she decided to stay as a local for camp zarafa who helps other fellow islanders heal. thankfully, they gave her a spot as a baker / pastry chef so she doesn't only help other heartbrokoen islanders, but she also gets paid to make delicious pastries for everyone.

kaia has 2 other siblings and she’s the middle child that’s why the attention’s not always on her and mostly overlooked.

since she’s ignored in her household, kaia finds herself closest to her grandmother. her grandmother’s also the one who taught her how to bake. 

before moving to camp zarafa, kaia owns a bakery in seoul called cuppy cakes.

she had no idea that her first love’s just using her to cheat on their girlfriend. 

kaia found knitting so relaxing during her stay as a guest in camp zarafa and she’s been doing it ever since, even to the point that she’s made outfits out of it. she soon turned it into a side business and started selling it to locals.

     flustered at being caught, he scrambled for an excuse to save face. “ sorry,” he pressed, immediately averting his gaze in an attempts to look interested at anything than the confectionary between her hands. “ i was reading this book and the, uh, smell had me moving before i could even think. “ he stood, rather uselessly, off to the side as he observed her expert movements. 

     “ what flavor is it? i’ve seen a couple episodes of cake boss, you know, so i’m technically an expert. “ 

                    at  this  point   ,   she  loses  focus  on  the  cake  she’s  doing  to  settle  her  gaze  on  the  stranger  .   for  a  long  time  of  working  here   ,   this  is  her  first  time  seeing  such  a  face  so  she  assumes   ,   he  might  be  a  guest  .     “   i  can’t  blame  you  for  that  one  .   this  smells  really  good  right  now  .   to  be  completely  honest  with  you  though   ,   this  smell  is  new  to  me  too  .   ”     grinning  widely   ,   she  continues  to  finish  off  the  layer  of  the  cake  by  spreading  the  cake  crumbs  all  around  it  . 

“   an  expert  huh   ?   okay  then  mister  cake  boss  expert   ,   what  do  you  call  this  cake  that’s  completely  purple  in  color  and  has  a  cream  cheese  filling  in  it   ?   ”

          “hey i have a great idea if you’re game.” she cracks a coquettish grin, the hint of mischief strong in her tone. but her idea isn’t anything volatile or remotely dangerous. “we might as well get to know each other, right? so let’s do a cultural exchange. tell me where you’re from and what’s… i don’t know a specialty food from that region.”

                      lips  already  stretched  out  wide  from  grinning  at  her  suggestion  .   kaia  really  likes  the  sound  of  that  considering  she  can’t  stop  talking  about  her  hometown  whenever  she  misses  it  from  time  to  time  or  feels  homesick  .    “   um   ,   okay   !   i  don’t  know  how  this  game  really  goes  but  i  guess  i’ll  start  from  what  you  suggested  .   i’m  from  seoul   ,   south  korea  and  the  specialty  food   ,   we  have  lots  of  that  .   most  of  it  are  spicy  .   but  everyone’s  favorite  is  our  kimchi  .   ”

                   ☁️      there’s an ethereal quality to kaia’s movements ; and dottie’s convinced that the girl is an angel. how else could the sight of something as mundane as kaia icing a cake fill dottie’s soul with the warmth of a midsummer’s day ? 

                   the soft lilt of kaia’s words draw the girl out of her daydreams. “ h-huh ? me ? just standing here ? watching you ? like a creep ? —— nup, no way ! that’s libel, i’ll sue ! ” dottie quips, nose scrunching gently in a slightly nervous force of habit as she wanders a little closer ; settling herself down on the stool across from kaia with a laugh as warm as honey. “ it smells heavenly in here —— what’re you making ? ” 

                    dark  hues  settle  on  perfecting  the  cake  as  if  her  life  depends  on  it  .   somehow   ,   she  successfully  smothers  the  white  icing  around  the  cake  .   although  not  perfect   ,   it’s  enough  to  let  the  third  layer  stick  .   which  is  just  a  bunch  of  cake  crumbs  she  blended  earlier  . 

                    soft  gaze  wanders  towards  the  other  baker  with  plump  lips  flashing  her  a  gentle  smile   ,   giggling  afterwards  only  because  she  finds  her  response  cute  and  hilarious  .     “   honest  to  god   ?   you  weren’t  watching   ?   ”     kaia  teases   ,   carefully  patting  the  purple  cake  crumbs  on  the  icing  so  that  there’ll  be  less  mess  to  clean  up  right  after  .     “   it’s  an  ube  cake   !   zara  asked  me  to  make  it  for  everyone  .   ”     she  chuckles  nervously   ,   making  sure  that  she’s  doing  the  exact  same  thing  the  woman  on  her  phone  is  doing  .    “   it’s  my  first  time  making  it  and  i  don’t  know  what  it  tastes  like  or  if  it  tastes  like  just  what  they’re  expecting  .   ”

                 unsure  of  whether  or  not  to  accept  the  invitation,   lola  stays  frozen  to  her  spot  across  the  room,   fingers  poised  on  picking  at  her  bottom  lip :  an  anxious  habit  she  had  accustomed  herself  to.   “  what  are  you  making ?  ”   she  instead  offers,   pulling  her  legs  up  onto  the  stool  underneath  her  .

                  this  is  one  of  her  favorite  parts  in  baking   :   having  an  audience  .   kaia  loves  showing  off  how  talented  she  is  in  this  field   ,   getting  used  to  the  culture  here  and  figuring  out  which  flavor  the  local  wants  .     “   i’m  making  ube  cake  with  cream  cheese  .   it’s  basically  a  purple  yam  that  locals  seems  to  love  here  .   the  camp  master  asked  me  to  make  one  for  everyone  .   ”

       "oh….well i wasn’t really staring at you…” salem chuckled nervously moving over to sit on the stool by the counter as she looks down at the cake a soft smile tugging on the corners of her lips “that cake looks amazing actually what flavor is it?”

                kaia  stops  smothering  the  cream  all  over  the  base  of  her  cake  to  look  over  at  the  female  who  walked  in  on  her  .   plump  lips  curl  up  into  a  gentle  smile   ,   her  gaze  settling  back  on  the  cake  .     “   so  you’re  staring  at  the  cake  then  .   ”     giggling   ,   she  continue  to  decorating  it  .     “   it’s  mango  flavor  .   i  know  for  sure  you’ll  love  this  for  desert  later  on  .   ”

                    “   i  can  feel  your  eyes  on  me  .   so  instead  of  just  standing  there   ,   why  don’t  you  join  me  here   ?   ”     voice  mumbles  softly   ,   though  loud  enough  for  the  other  to  hear  whilst  her  gaze  focuses  on  smearing  the  cream  on  the  cake  she  just  baked  .
