so i’m.. giving myself a bit of time for plotting and editing pages — likely no replies getting punched in tho — before burying myself in this hell course’s notes — it’s worse than french, i could rly do with having a snow day tomorrow ( @atlantic canada give me one more blizzard before winter’s up !! ty ) so, yeah just putting that out there DSJGFFGK

“so there’s this new bakery that i just found the other day, right? well…it’s not really new, it’s actually been around for a couple of years now, but you get my point. i guess i’ve been there before because they recognized me and gave me my ‘usual’ which was a chocolate cup cake with strawberry frosting. i had no idea i even liked strawberry frosting but oh my god, it’s so good! so i may have gone a bit over board and bought all these different cupcakes because, you know, for taste test reasons and realized i might look slightly pathetic eating all these cupcakes by myself. so moral of the story, do you wanna possible try some cupcakes with me?”
“ and you didn’t invite me ? ” the elder girl pouts slightly, feigning DISAPPOINTMENT for missing out on what would have been a delicious excursion... though what sunny totes ensures that she hasn’t missed out too much. she drops the downcast look, biting her lip while looking off to the side. “ i mean, i doubt anyone would say no to an offer like that... ” it’s then that a grin begins to appear, gesturing for the adorable brunette to join her at the small table. hyeran had just began her break, and one could call it perfect timing for the supply of sugary snacks to be offered to her — especially over the cup of coffee that sits before her to aid in increasing her wakefulness. “ how’s indulging in a box of cupcakes ever pathetic, though ? ” she inquires, a perplexed smile tugging at her lips, “ overdoing it aside. ”
–– ilsung smiled ( albeit a little sheepishly ) when he heard her call out his name. he took a step closer to the bar she was working behind, off to the side where he wouldn’t have to bump into any other customers all on their way to wherever they have to get to that day. ilsung didn’t have much else to do that day besides the usual slew of coursework he had willingly, and near-happily, subjected himself to for the past three years and the translations he chose to pile on top of that. for fun, he always tried to explain to anyone who asked why anything written in ancient greek needed to be written latin as well. that, and usually some other mumbled reasoning as to why it just needed to be put into something with more expansive verb tenses or anything of the sort. “how’s it going?” ilsung asked as his gaze travelled across the other side of the bar from his high vantage point, his eyes pausing briefly on the top of the latte she was making. hyeran looked equally, if not likely more, exhausted than he was, though ilsung counted himself lucky that he hadn’t needed to get up and work a shift of a real job at god knows what time she had. all he had to do that morning was give whoever was still laying beside him a nudge towards the door and actually get a start to his day. he shrugged, looking back up at her. “however i go out, i’ll definitely have it coming,” he said. although he was joking, his tone still sounded as nonchalant as almost everything else he said was. “it’s uh, the day caesar got stabbed. i noticed the date on the wall.”
“ mm... it’s going, ” she deduces, believing there’s not much to be said on her part, “ just the usual half-dead ass-busting. ” rannie laughs, incredulously for the most part — since she likely wouldn’t call it ass-busting if she organized her time properly over the span of a day — as she moves the drink before her to a better view, calling out the order for its respective patron. “ what about you ? ” she inquires before shooting the passing customer a smile, “ busy day ? ” it’s with that that she starts in on the next order, conversation sadly doesn’t clear her of her duties, turning away for a cup to begin with; she glances over her shoulder though, scoffing at him in the meantime. sure, they all have it coming in the end, but — “ that sounds a little concerning, ” the brunette chuckles, “ i have my doubts about that, though. ” it’s sometimes as if the days blur and blend together, hyeran can’t seem to keep track at times, so she’s none too surprised to realize her mistake once again — though she carries the same attitude as always when she does. “ OH ! oh... i kept thinking it was tuesday for some reason, that makes sense now. ”
so i finALLY finished 99% of hyeran’s bio, which you can find HERE, a couple of ending things aren’t there rn bc replies/plotting > details you can find in her stats ( *coughs* which you can find here if need be ) so if we’re still in the midst of plotting/haven’t yet, go check it out to get a feel for her if my intro wasn’t enough DJKSFGLDGF
「 &&. 」–– ilsung paused in the corner of the coffee shop, his eyes landing on a calendar tacked on the wall opposite him. he smiled softly once he noticed the date, though somehow with him it always looked at least a little deprecating. “beware the ides of march,” he said partially under his breath in english. he hadn’t expected anyone to overhear his rather pointless comment, but as he turned to grab his drink off the counter nearby, he found himself starting a conversation as if they had followed what he had said to himself. “isn’t that how you’d like to go out?” ilsung switched to korean to ask. no matter what he did, it always seemed like he was looming over whoever he was speaking with; it was a side effect of being so tall. he smirked at them as he finished his question, “surrounded by friends?”
it having been a busy day thus far, hyeran much anticipates her upcoming break. in truth, it wasn’t too taxing with a couple of her co-workers on shift as well, not to mention it wouldn’t be for one who’d consider herself a PRO when it comes to making lattés, however her late night habits and early morning shifts render her an exhausted mess in dire need of a nap at any given moment. and while the influx of people has certainly slowed as she concocts her current customer’s beverage, it only makes matters worse, if she's to be honest; thus she almost misses the infamous phrase uttered by ilsung, recovering after a few seconds pass and glancing upward as she seals the top of the cup with an appropriate lid. it’s times like these where she’s fond of her english knowledge — both the language and the subject. “ ilsung ! ” she beckons, a light smile on her face while gesturing to his order. though, upon hearing his question, her expression shifts to that of a quizzical one, featuring pursed lips. “ maybe in my bed when i’m past my prime — i’ve never been a fan of knives, personally. ” leave it to her to shrug at his implication. “ how’d that come to mind, anyways ? ”
a bitch is Tired rn after pulling my usual shit, aka staying up until 5am for no reason only to stick out a two hour lab, cry while doing my connections page on my late lunch/packing break and napping in the car, so excuse the seeming lack of enthusiasm lkfdsjglk. hey i’m kat, i’m 20, canadian, and my current means of life rn are chocolate, drag race ( i.. am team anyone but b*b* rn, no offence but my girl needs to come back to earth and stop rubbing me the wrong way sdfgkjgfd ( i think sh*ngela deserves it most despite being more of a tr*xie stan tho js ) ) and 3am you in me listening parties with myself four months after its release rip !! i’m a uni student and in love with sowoo so you don’t wanna know the agony that comes with picking one over the other. you can hmu on d*scord if you’d like ( just find me in the gc and message me from there fkskf ) and this is so boRING, it’s like the life is sucked out of me omg. anyways hyeran, a whole.. other positive muse bc jesus, how many of these do i have rn ?? this is so out of hand man, but nonetheless here’s a bit abt the brat:
- ̗̀ wait, wait, was that JEON SOMIN i just saw? damn, it was actually just that TWENTY TWO year old MUSIC PRODUCER/BARISTA, YUN HYERAN. speaking of them, did you hear that they’re known as THE VIRTUOSO around gangnam? i guess it makes sense considering they act so EBULLIENT & LOYAL but at the same time so MAGNANIMOUS & DIFFIDENT. they’re also apparently a PANSEXUAL FEMALE OUTSIDER who uses SHE/HER pronouns. ( kat / 20 / gmt-3:30 / she/her )
yun hyeran, a daegu native with an older and younger brother, an ambivert and an all around baby
tbh this is a copied intro from a few months back and i don’t have the time to perfectly incorporate her recently developed bg, so pls anticipate a small bio with that explained HERE
buT she became involved in music through her father, who studied it in uni and ended up becoming a music instructor with a focus on piano, flute and vocals
her and her mom.. also her older brother, didn’t have the best relationship when she grew older, which seemed to die altogether when her parents divorced and her mom left. but her and her brother’s still exists, it’s just that he’s a bit of a toxic influence on her and she tends to distance herself from him
went to uni in seoul to pursue music like her father ( a daddy’s girl too like ) and found her way into the world of production !! by junior year, she’d transferred out of her original program and majored in that instead and has loved it ever since; she recently graduated
moved to gangnam bc.. idk, she just wanted to KDFJSGLGKFD
impulsive brat
would visit jeju island when she was younger bc her aunt lived there
she adores said aunt, her dad’s sister and the maternal figure she Deserves, so overall jeju holds a special place in her heart
for the time being, she works full-time as a barista at the café just a block from her cute little studio apartment while looking into internships at record labels for her to take on a little further down the line ( no rush bc it’s already quite competitive and she’d rather enjoy what she has going now )
she’s also making something of an income as the creator of an acct on youtube and soundcloud for her music, something she’s had for abt two years now
she’s not even close to making it big yet, and she doesn’t mind if she never works for a moderately to highly popular label — though she should if she wants to get by
among the aesthetic, lo-fi music crowd ( one of those yt accts with a livestream for certain playlists that go on for hours, rip ) where for the most part, it’s personal faves mixed with her own works, and has a substantial following as of now. but has an interest in experimenting, with mashups ( as a lover of them ?? i couldn’t help myself sgflkdsjg ) for example, with a small fear of how that change would be received
this is so short now that i’ve shortened it immensely iK, it’s a little infuriating if you ask me ljkgdfjls
in terms of her personality and other things:
she’s a very loyal person, v e r y. while like i said ( and will elaborate on in her bio ), her relationship with her brother is Not Great, she hasn’t completely given up on him. maybe for the time being, but her being someone who’s open to the idea of people changing for the better somewhere down the line, leaves a bit of room for her to possibly change her mind if he does enough to allow her to consider it
so she can be a bit of a doormat in some cases, it all depends on how she sees the person that determines if that’s the case, but she generally won’t let you off if you’re being dumb/an ass to someone or if she gets advantageous vibes from you for example ( given she can.. be a little naive and is a p gentle soul ) so.. idk fgklsj good luck to the 99% ig ??
she does have a slight dependency on others despite her thinking all signs point to the opposite, and even though her and her mom never rly had a good relationship she still reels from the neglect/abandonment some days so handle her with Care if she deems you a close pal
spontaneous tbh, moving to gangnam was a little last minute on her part, for one
she’s a bit reclusive when focused on something, if she tells you she’s working on a track, it’s essentially a head’s up that you might not see her for a couple of days depending on how soon she gets it done — lowkey that bitch™ who makes up an illness to her boss, so she wouldn’t even show up for work if it’s more than just her fucking around
bc admittedly, a lot of what she posts is fucking around and liking it, her more thought-out and effort packed projects are hidden away on her laptop
a bit insecure with her work and just her general disposition ?? those first few points above mess with her a lot and leave her disheartened so.. my poor child
v strong overall, takes people’s shit and if it gets to her, she gets over it p fast. doesn’t dwell on much and will be courteous to you even if she’s declared you too toxic to stick around 24/7
isn’t exactly one to get angry ?? she’s basically just disappointed or annoyed at best 99% of the time, it takes a lot to get her beyond that
positive, ugh. maybe not sickeningly sweet, but still. kinda explained parts of it above and i’m 95% gone mentally rn, gotta spare that for other little details gsjklf
a cute bean who wants the best for everyone
uhhh
has a good understanding of english, her mom’s an american national so she grew up with it being spoken in the house at times
prob speaks it better than i speak french, but still wouldn’t consider herself fluent
plays piano and bass guitar, but knows her way around a flute and tenor sax ( you don’t know how tempted i was to say clarinet bc of jiwoo gjflkgds )
prob had some kind of little amateur rock band with a few music majors and took up bass for the hell of it lmao
loves animals, leans towards cats or big dogs. corgis and those little spaniels get a pass tho
speaking of, she has a cute little calico kitten ( i’m shit with pet names so if lucy sounds lacklustre.. you know why rgkjls ) who she Loves, her baby !!
sweater, ball cap and basic t shirt junkie
those glasses somin’s been wearing a lot of lately ?? hyeran wears them too but.. actually needs them, not even close to a fashion statement
doesn’t don much makeup unless someone’s dragging her to a party or something
thaT’S when she looks a little more like a classy early twenties bitch.. which lbr, is hard enough when adulthood is a whole Train Wreck for the most part LGFJSDL
not a heavy drinker, but the textbook definition of a lightweight so.. she’s always praying for anyone who has to deal with her dgfjklsfg
lattes are her livelihood
a bit of a hopeless romantic, just a bit, but god help her nonetheless
her favourite subject in school was literature/writing and reads quite a bit on her breaks at the café
favourite music genres.. it’s easier to say what she doesn’t like/finds boring, which is prob country and some aspects of edm/pop, not into punk/metal either
these are super basic but.. i’ve gotta get myself together for the day so this’ll do for now i hope ??
so if you’d like to plot, im me here or on d*scord ! i prefer the latter personally, but whichever’s easiest for you. i have a list of a few of the specific wcs i have in mind ( for the time being, catch my lazy ass avoid listing all the basic ones and revising a few i have on an old blog ) for hyeran up now, which you can find here, so just lmk if any of them appeal to you !!
