Visiting the record store had become so routine to him now, that to pass by it on his way home without so much as a five minute browse felt almost illegal to him. As such, he typically planned and made time for a quick visit, hoping that Dallia was around - which she usually always was. It was how their friendship had first began; some awkward small talk here and there on his own part as he slowly grew accustomed, yet now here he was some time later, feeling as though it was a second home of sorts, where he could always find one of his closest friends.
Bass strapped to his back and a skateboard tucked under one arm, he carried a selection of brownies in a box bought from a nearby bakery under the other as he pushed the door open with his elbow, greeted with the familiar sound of rock music playing over the speakers.
βHey, Dal, you there?β Working his way towards the back of the store, he only hoped she could hear him from wherever she was. βI brought snacks for later, but I kinda donβt want to wait to open themβ¦ We still on for practice?β
the sound coming from the speakers is harsh and loud, and yet it doesn't stop her from closing her eyes and relaxing a little while she's alone at the store. while her father is away at the storage room, she allows herself to close her eyes and enjoy the solitude, hoping she won't be interrupted by someone so soon. a quick little nap against the counter wouldn't hurt anyone... she's sure her dad would understand her. but when she hears the little bell ring when the storeβs door opens, dallia straightens her posture almost immediately to make herself look like she wasnβt dozing off until a new customer comes in, but when she spots a very familiar face with way too many things in his hands, a bright and happy smile forms on her lips: like a dark angel coming directly from hell, comes cheol to save her from the boredom of an empty shop. quickly, she makes her way around the counter to meet her friend with excitement in her voice.
βdude, what took you so long?β she says with a very clear playfulness in the tone of her voice, and she reaches for the box of snacks he has in his hands to help him balance everything in his possession. βof course we're still on for practice, iβve been waiting all day! you have no idea of how boring this place gets in the afternoon... youβre literally saving me right now.β
she sets the box on the counter and lifts the lid to peek inside, and her smile only gets wider when she sees the beautiful fresh brownies in there, making her stomach growl a little at the thought of how tasty they must be. βoh, cheol... you are an angel. come on, letβs go upstairs! i have some new stuff to show you and i think youβre gonna like it.β

Λ ΚΎ γβ΄ oh dallia was out in mulmalu city yesterday ! the 21 years old has been on the island for five years and works as an employee at her fatherβs records store & guitarist for inertia. as indifferent & stoic as she can be, sheβs been known to be trustworthy & passionate as well, so hopefully she has a good head on their shoulders. people around the island have come to know her as the selenian !
biography :
itβs not common to see children with calloused fingers, and yet little oh dallia had her hands covered in them β especially the tip of her fingers. no matter how much her mother tried to soothe her skin and soften the surface, they would always come back because of how much dallia loved playing with her fatherβs accoustic guitar. the oversized instrument was awkwardly held between her arms, but she was so happy and excited to learn how to play music like her dad did.
his biggest dream was to become a musician one day, but it was so difficult when he had a wife and a baby to care for at such a young age; they were both nineteen years old when dallia was born. all mr. oh could do was focus on his boring and exhausting job to make sure he could provide a good life to his family. but as soon as he stepped into their house, he left behind his functional profession to become dalliaβs personal musician.
he taught her how to play the accoustic guitar, and her mother was forced to get used to the rough skin on her daughterβs hands. it became her favorite activity, so much that they had to come up with a schedule to make sure she would do her homework and study for her exams instead of playing the guitar all day. itβs only when she got to her teenage years that her interest shifted from the acoustic guitar, to the electric guitar.
when she turned fifteen years old, her father bought her a beautiful guitar in white and mint green, not only because she really wanted it but also because it could help her through the difficult times that were meant to come: a divorce. it was a pretty bad time for her, but her father was right and the guitar did help her cope with the situation. the neighbors didnβt like it at all though.
dallia chose to stay with her father after the divorce happened, but she made sure to visit her mother every now and then. the reason why she chose to stay with him was because he supported her, and her desire to become a musician just like her father did in the past. but what she didnβt expect, was that one day they would leave the big city to go to a small town, away from everything and everyone she once knew.
her father got tired of his 9 to 5 daily job at an office, and decided to take his life and dalliaβs to mulmalu island. a much smaller place where she felt like a fish out of water, despite being surrounded by a beautiful blue sea. she hated it, but her father loved everything about the place: he opened his own records store, where he could work with music even if indirectly, and he had his daughter by his side.
she started working with him at the store as soon as it was open, and she couldnβt say she disliked it... in fact, in that whole island, the store was the place where she felt the most comfortable at. it was her favorite place, where she could get lost in all the old and new albums that they would sell. she could put on headphones and listen to music and thatβd be fine. but it wasnβt all that she wanted.
she wanted to make music, she wanted to do something that could take her to a stage one day. and that was when she found inertia. it made her a bit happier to have a group to call her own, a band to embrace her and her passion for music. and it made her father happy, to see his little dallia take one step closer to her dream.
