+ where you at weirdo
if anybody saw them, theyād be downright convinced it was a date. to them though, itās something a bit more different. itād been a long time since sheās gone out to this place. the skate rink. when she was a kid, she learned it in the streets, with miles. well, because of miles. heād always been able to convince her to do things she never liked to do. a novelty explained by the magical thing that are childhood friends. she never meets him too much, something she also feels guilty for after learning they were in the same business. what a weird coincidence, she thinks as she spots the male wearing something hideous as usual.
āĀ you couldnāt have put in a little effort?Ā ā she tugs onto the piece of ugly pattern.Ā āĀ is this your hipster aesthetic again? really?Ā ā nina tries not to grimace but it never stops her from judging milesās fashion choices.
this was a mistake.Ā these people she surrounds herself with, those that see nina in her long, thin earrings that sway in the wind, a dark sheer and expensive mesh under her denim skirt overalls ( Ā Ā Ā Ā because she canāt get paint on silk, thatās an atrocity! ), platform shoes, and manicured nailsĀ Ā Ā Ā she wears a simple mascara and lipbalm with a shimmer; despite this, her peersā eyes shined when they glanced at her. they tugged at her sleeve, caught nina at a momentās surprise because no one tugged at her sleeve while she was at school, and then asked if sheād like to go hang near a cafe with them. nina knew she shouldnāt be mingling with non-celebrities too much. nina knew that the famous were easy an sale for information for a quick cash. ( although you canāt mingle with the famous often either, both can be detrimental. ) but they caught her with her guard lowered, in her space of creative afterglow, in this home nobody could harm her. she was tangled inside her loneliness and excitement, and that could be dangerous.
but now sheās on a group blind date. one of these cultural korean things she could never wrap her head around. she can see one of the girlās respective date struggling to pull her into a conversation to interest her. nina throws her appeasing smile at him, but disgruntlement rises slowly from her chest to make a muffled exhale towards the window she sat next to. no escape now. nina takes the time to scan the person seated across from her, the only boy whose been suspiciously quiet and normal so far. thereās something off about him though, and itās itching at the back of her head to OPEN YOUR EYES, IDIOT. when ninaās eyes makes it back up, he matches her in a glance of scrutiny.
Ā Ā ā do i know you? ā the corner of mouth is starting to twist in her annoyance.Ā
the other boys seem to jump at this, eagerness like treasure hunters leaping for an opportunity.Ā her temper flairs up, a snake smile adorned with insincere eyes.Ā
Ā Ā ā i want to hear it from him. why donāt you tell me. ā nina leans her weight onto the table, completely aware her on-camera image, coldness seeps into the conversation. her earrings shimmer in the glare of the lights.
she doesnāt register the jittery but excited glances the boys exchange.
āĀ i think the greatest gift is to receive love and attention from someone so wholeheartedly and for that, iāll never have enough words to give back to them. ā

she was referred to as ninette in france and in usa but changed to nina when she moved to south korea.
the public knows her asĀ ā the human gucci ā for her various outfits of gucci that sheās luxuriously draped in. her idol image is chic and gracious beauty.
despite her cold, city girl image on camera, nina is quite quirky and sensitive with friends.
the public also knows her as a respectable leader of happiness, considerably more than other idol group leaders. within her group, sheās known to have the role of aĀ strict,Ā big sister.
fans attribute her withĀ catsĀ as her eyes and smile resemble a catās.

ideal type:Ā ā of course itād be nice if heās good looking!Ā someone my age or older?Ā height, cleanliness, intelligence, or cooking skills arenāt really necessary.. itād be really nice if we could progress together. fashion is important!Ā he must have a good fashion sense or i really cannot meet him. but i really want someone that will look upon my family and friends prettilyā someone that i can show to them and theyāll say ā ah, you chose well!Ā ā of course, but whatās most important is that they like me back. ā
PART B ā THE QUESTIONNAIRE.
Who are your role models?
when i came to south korea, i didnāt know so much about the history of kpop. i would see scarlet, pandora, and jeon hyejeong-sunbae on tv, looking so cool and bursting with stage presence. they really ignited my dream to become a singer.
Do you have any nicknames? If so, what do your friends or family call you?
iāve seen the public call meĀ ā the human gucci ā, i find it very funny. but only my mom calls meĀ ninette. and, ah!Ā miles also calls me ninette since weāre childhood friends. everyone only calls meĀ nina, sometimesĀ nini. even my grandparents have called meĀ niniĀ since i was small because ninette is too hard for them.
What are some places that you would like to go but havenāt been to yet?
iād really like to visit tropical islands just to relax. iād also like to go to spain or just touring in europe!!
What would you say to a fan who is struggling?
i would say: do you ever wonder why people who have gone through the toughest and unbearable obstacles always seem to be the most beautiful of all people?Ā because theyāre strong despite everything life has thrown at them. they endured and became the most beautiful, shining diamond among all the regular stones. i believe that our fans or anyone whoās going through a troubling time right now will transform into beautiful diamonds.
Are there any languages you speak besides your native tongue? What other languages would you like to learn?
i am most fluent in french, but i have a slight accent when iām excited and i speak korean and english. thereās still many words i donāt know, and i find myself unable to fully express my thoughts. i think it would be interesting to learn german or italian!
What are your three favorite songs at the moment?
at the moment, i really like our hoobae knightāsĀ teen, ageĀ album. i keep repeating trauma!!Ā itās got a really good groove to it thatās nice to dance to as well.
Did you always know you wanted to be famous as a child? Was your family supportive?
i guess you could say that. my mom had always thought i would be someone big!!Ā she got me started in the dance troupe in new york, performing on stages so sheās the person who taught me to chase after what i wanted in life.
Why did you decide to become an idol?
i just really liked standing on the stage, being able to perform in front of all these people. of course i really liked the attention. but i guess seeing sunbaes on the tv when i moved to korea was really an eye opener for me. when we debuted, seeing fans that would wave their signs and scream from their lungs for us really made me really thinkĀ āĀ ah i really like being an idol.Ā i want to be a cool singer from now on. ā the fans sort of made me realize my dream.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years from now?
in ten years, i hope to have made history with my members. i want to become a developed artist. maybe i'll go into acting, but for now iām content in painting and trying out musicals. hopefully, iāll even have my own exhibit!
What is something no one knows about you?Ā
ah, this might not be very obvious because i look like a very serious, studious person. in reality, if itās not art or languages, iām really not good at anything else. i donāt have much interest in science or math or government, so i didnāt make the best grades in school.
Describe your family. Who are the members in your family?
my mom is a very hardworking person. thatās where all my hardworking genes come from. iām very close to my little brother. we understand each other like two halves so sometimes i feel like weāre soulmates!Ā i love him very much. my grandparents are very cute!Ā theyāre like the neighborhoodās old and married couple thatās outdated on all the modern things.
How was your childhood? What was it like?
my childhood was very eventful!Ā my mom wanted me to do great things so she would sign me up for all kinds of stuff like piano lessons, auditioning for tv shows. we also moved around a few times so i got to see a lot of different places and cultures.
If you werenāt pursuing the path to fame, where do you think you would be?
i really think i would be a regular student right now. i still like doing arts very much so iād probably still be in new york or back in france studying painting.
Write a message to your fans ā What would you like to say to them?
to our sunshines, i will always like to thank them. i donāt think even after saying it a thousand times would be enough. i think the greatest gift is to receive love and attention from someone so wholeheartedly and for that, iāll never have enough words to give back to them. five years on, even ten years on, letās make only happy memories between us!

when nina was little, she was just as ambitious if not more GREEDY for things that she wanted to do, wanted to be, and given the luxury that she was born into by her hardworking mother, nina almost had the world in her manicured delicate hands. she ALMOST got everything she wanted, but because nina had grown up emotionally distant from her mom, she had to learn to become a grown up faster than others. she learned loneliness and independence to chase after her mom. this included sketching outfit ideas just like her mom sketched for the next fashion line. nina thought that becoming a fashion designer like her mom would bring her closer to her. she also wanted to become a ballerina for a while when her mom signed her up for a dance troupe. granted she liked dancing but she liked her momās validation more. nina had a lot of dreams, but in the end, her dream was always a momās LOVE. in reality, the dream that brought her most happiness is the one that chased her mom away.

( Send ā” for a friendship headcanon. )
straight from debut, hjh had established an image for nina that was a cold, city girl. people in the industry that she played her part really well, and really did believed that nina was HARD to befriend. reality is that, sheās just reserved and is not quick to warm up to strangers. nina likes to establish common ground with the person to start a friendship. she has many acquaintances, people she knows, but not many that she would call friends. to her, only when they understand her personality on a deeper level can she call them a friend. to the friends that she has, nina is LOYAL to a fault.
( Send ā for a crush my muse has had. )
to nina, romance is soft and warm. for her as a girl before going into seclusion of a one track mind training to debut, she was just inexperienced and naive to boys. it developed like this: nina admired a boy who was just the perfect piece to sketch. often, she found herself perched somewhere just to doodle him in his day to day poses. sketching turned into INFATUATION. and when said boy found out, the teasing started. soon enough, that boy had taken liking to her innocence and decided to make her his. of course, boys who only treat girls like toys always tend to break their toys sooner or later. and this one, ended up just like that. to this day though, nina has the sketchbook pages, torn apart, and stuffed with all the rest of the stuff in a box that she hates, the stuff she leaves hidden in her memories, FORGOTTENĀ and never brought to the light or the forefront of her mind again.
( Send ā¤ for a ādislikeā headcanon. )
for anyone who really knows nina, would say that she likes to gorge herself on luxurious treats, dining, and deserts very often. she has a wide taste for a lot of foods, however one that she doesnāt like is SUSHI because she canāt handle raw foods. itās actually her membersā pet peeve that whenever they go to a restaurant they canāt order any oysters or sushi because even theĀ freshĀ RAWĀ smell that permeating from the raw foods makes nauseous. itās just because her stomach doesnāt digest those kinds of foods very well, whenever there are sunbaes who treat them to a meal and they order such foods, nina usually pretends that they donāt affect her and eat anyways. once, she had become nauseous for five hours afterwards, wavering on and off from throwing up the food as a consequenceĀ of eating oysters.
( Send ā¾ for a sleep headcanon. )
thereās a motto that nina LIVES BY that her mom taught her, and that is that you need to be fashionable every single secondĀ of your life. she mostly sleeps in lingerieĀ and a silk robe, and you better bet your ass that it makes her look cute and classy as fuck (even if there is no one to see her). but what the public knows is that in most vlives or behind the scenes, she usually wears pajamas with cute patterns on them. nina looks cute either way every single time. she has a wide variety of sleepwear because of this, and her drawers consist both pastel and deep colored lingerie as well as fluffy and silky robes to choose from. if nina didnāt have an image to keep up, she would showcase her sleepwear that she would say is the pride and ENVY of anybodyās nightwear.
thereās a bunch of films that nina likes. this film isnāt considered her favorite one, but she finds ma vie de courgette ( my life as zucchini ) one of ninaās favorite films because it tells the story of an orphan who was abused by his family acclimating to the orphanage as he learns what defines family to a person is much more than the people who tie you by blood. it reminds nina of how close she holds her members towards her heart, and at times, it emphasizes the LACK of familial relationships she has with anyone in her life. at times, nina feels too lonely and would like to watch french films like these ones that analyze the way people come and go in a personās life.
( Send ā for a crush my muse has had. )
as much as the company pushing her image as this classy, cold city girl, nina is actually quite soft hearted. when she was younger, her mom made her focus on her dance troupe activities and she didnāt interact much with her classmates outside of school as much as other normal teens. so it wouldnāt have come as a surprise that over the years, being family friends with @fmmilesā also meant that he was the only steady presence of a boy around her age. being a shy teenage girl exploring her femininity, and had naive romantic ideals, nina couldnāt help but grow a small crush on the only boy who was nice and sweet to her. too bad she knew he was gay, but it still didnāt stop her from blushing when he would act too nicely to her. to this day, nina still canāt live it down. ( not that miles would ever let her though. )
( Send ā for a death headcanon. )
when nina was a toddler, she wandered out onto the streets of lyon away from the small boutique that her mom owned and nearly been ran over by a car. surprisingly, it wasnāt the first time that it happened ( nina would walk away from her momās supervisionĀ Ā Ā Ā or rather lack of supervision more than once while she was a child. ) and it were those near death experiences as a child that created the distrust that nina had in her mom. whenever she thinks of times where she had been in serious danger, it would always bring her back to when she strayed out of her momās too busy life as a child, and even now it could be said that sheās been feeling less alive as an idol, miles away from her mom, than she was as a teen in new york.
unsurprisingly, he reads the signs correctly and his lips find hers in seconds, pressing gently at first to give her the chance to lead if she really wants to, before finally taking control of things like he wants to. his lips part to make the kiss deeper, while his free hand gently cups her jaw, angling her face upwards. it turns from something sweet into something sultry, and the fact that theyāre in a public place is turning him on more than he expected. he doesnāt really know what to do with the realization.
his hand reflexively slides from her jaw to her waist, the other following soon after until ninaās wrapped in his arms and theyāre all over each other. itās a good thing they both donāt give a fuck about anyone elseās comfort.
when itās two people and a lonely corner in the library, what kind of outcome did nina ever think it would land her in? the beating of her heart thumps reassuringly steady as hyojin leans in, his face awfully close. her mind becomes a hurricane of a mess, incoherent and thorough in wiping out everything that was there before. the next words he whispers vibrate against her lips, the low but soft pitch raising goosebumps down her body like waves.
before she can even think about what sheās doing next, her face is tilted to make room for him. he catches her off guard yet again, the soft touch of his fingers work a strand of hair back behind her ear. she canāt help the way her breath comes out in a stutter right before she closes her eyes, her body tensing as if it will brace her for the incoming storm.
itās surprisingly soft. nina thought hyojin would come down like a wolf descending, but his first touch feels like pressing a flower upon her skin. sheās testy at first, her feet shifting as she has to gather the fabric along his shoulders bunched up in her fists to pull him closer down towards her. heās tall and fuck, itās so attractive. itās a bit of a nuisance right now, but she doesnāt think of complaining when hyojin is literally sweeping her into his arms.
her arms snake up his arms, around his shoulders to twine behind his head, her set of fingers tangling onto the short hairs of his nape. hyojinās bottom lip gets briefly caught between her teeth, and she canāt help but give it a nip, lost to the heavy feeling settling in her stomach and the airy lossless of her mind. the quietest whimper she lets out gets trapped behind their messy kiss. the fact that theyāre still in a place where people can easily see them is lost to her now. the notion of firm denial to hyojinās advances are now all out the window. she could care less what kind of person he is if he could kiss the breathe out of her like this.

nina is definitely one that likes to give as much as receive. she likens being sexual with someone as making art. their body is the canvas and if she is the painterĀ ā she does it thoroughly, dedicatedly, and with as much sensuality as possible.
Ā Ā Ā Send ā for a fear headcanon.
one of ninaās fears is being forgotten or having all her work go to waste. she tries everyday for her girls to get recognition, and mostly selfishly to improve herself by restraining her emotions and her hunger cravings. she fears that it can be easily washed away by one scandal or that her hard work would be for nothing.

his brow quirks at her retort, a habit of his thatās been pointed out by his fans plenty of times. it usually happens when heās surprised, and in this case, heās never really sure what heās going to get out of approaching nina. sheās beautiful, so he knows heās not the only one trying for her affections, but sheās also cold in an inexplicable way. heās both pulled towards this and repelled by it. but when she responds to him in just as flirty of a manner, heās thrown for a loop again.
whether sheās interested or not is something he often wonders. heās sure she finds him attractive, but enough to do anything more than some harmless flirting?Ā now thatās a different question altogether. one he doesnāt particularly worry about (itās not like the girl is the love of his life or anything) but he ā¦ ponders, for lack of a better word.
though it WOULDĀ be nice if she gave him a cue to push things further than heās already pushing.
āiād let you break my heart any time.ā the words roll off his tongue like liquid sugar, saccharine in the most dangerous of ways.Ā ābut not too badly, yeah? i donāt wanna only start composing sad songs.ā
his stance turns seemingly casual, an arm resting against the bookshelf as he leans into it for support. even so, heās conscious of the proximity between them, and heās not gonna lie and say he isnāt trying to crowd the girl in if only to get her to show the slightest bit of nervousness. you canĀ call him manipulative, but control is vital in these things. the second youāve lost it, your heartās either broken, or your left in that limbo stage where you donāt know how they feel but you really wish you did. both not places hyojin wants to be in. ever.
āso once youāre done finding that book ā¦ will you be free?ā their eyes meet, and hyojin knowsĀ she can see the glint in his eyes and heās perfectly fine with that.Ā āasking for a friend.ā
this time, she really laughs at him, a quick quip too sharp and too unrestrained to belong in a library among the studious students. she bets that hyojin has broken a million hearts, and the thought that she would ever cause him to be sad is too entertaining.Ā
Ā Ā Ā ā donāt worry, hyohyo. i wonāt break your heart too bad. but you wonāt come out unscathed of course. ā she grins, letting herself get carried into their game. she knows sheās a bit soft and inexperienced in boys with tricks like hyojin. the soft rippling between them is so inviting, but she knows if she dips in, she could drown and itāll be her getting hurt because boys like hyojin donāt hurt when it comes to girls like her.
once a person has enough practice, maintaining facial expressions are easy. itās easy to trick yourself into saying that youāre cool, that itās okay and you have total control. the heart is a different thing. itās an impulsive and selfish thing. the heart fights constant wars with the brain.
her smile curls like she knows all his secrets, and itās not like hyojin hides much. but as he slides closer and his eyes look into hers, startling as ever, she canāt say that her throat closes for a quick second, canāt stop the flush reddening her ears as he bluntly asks for her time while keeping his gaze into her eyes. nina doesnāt try to hide how she rolls her eyes at his lame pick-up line. even so, she canāt deny itās endearing enough.Ā
and she almost wants to give him hope. nina feigns a heavy sigh and slides a book off the shelf.Ā
Ā Ā Ā ā well, it depends, ā nina drawls as she swivels and takes the initiative to step closer, ā if this friend is cute. is your friend gonna make it worth my time? ā thereās a pressure on the tip of her sneakers as her shoes bump into his, and she lets the book in her palms tap against his chest. ā every second is precious, you know, ā she says softly as her gaze matches his boldly.Ā
nina is seriously concerned. the way the lights wraps around kuiyingās body in multiple loops, the small bulbs decorating his outfit like little stars, but is a serious electric concern. the other boy only smiles while showing off the dangling lights. nina sighs, her breath puffing up into the cold air.Ā
Ā Ā Ā ā kuiying, youāre gonna choke yourself, ā she deadpans at him, shooting an apologetic smile at the ahjussi at the street stand.Ā ā put it back unless youāre gonna buy it. ā this wasnāt what she imagined when kuiying said he wanted to go christmas gift shopping.
