"17-Thirteen (Fall 4 U)"

Lyrics

English

Waking up like this

It's like we're in the mix

We're in love with the blues and the pinks

Oh my God, our bi-colored drinks

Double six, I came here to party

Falling for you can be totally hearty

You make me feel like I'm 17 again

After 5 PM, it's time to pretend

XOXO

Falling in love

Rhythmic poppin', music droppin'

Young nights callin', We're all ballin' (ba-da bing ba-da-boom)

Breakin' a sweat, all in my head

From east to west, we all felt blessed

Callin' all Y2K babies, who are fans of Mercedes

Boys over calendulas and daisies (yeah)

So good for their cuteness ladies

Like 13 going on 30

Don't make dirty, baby you heard me

Honey lover, I'm in love with you

With your stuffed Pikachu

Yeah, pound the alarm

Two colors, red and yellow in the flag of Vietnam (hey)

What are you waiting for, six-point stars and hearts? (awesome)

Fashion parties from the block, my heart wants what it wants

Goin' sky high at the runway

Perfect couples of the day, sweet cherry cake and lemonade

To be making Heartland Airways (savage)

Oh yeah, everyday we makin' sketches on the page

They're so tasty (sister)

Oh my hearts and stars (K. Cat on the track)

17-thirteen, I'm in Maybelline

China pinks on my body

At the party with my Barbie

Between him and her

I'm taking over

Being young forever

Cuteness whenever

My best friend

I wanna be stuck on you

I'm trusting and loving you, boy

I'm putting it on you, boy (I'm your hearty friend)

What are you waiting for

I wanna be yours, baby

I will fall for you, crawl under you (I’ll feed you)

Do anything you want me to

Sweetly, I'm your hearty chick

You know, I really love you.

But, when it’s time to cater to ourselves, you know it’s the deal.

Delicious pastries, oh my goodness. So heavenly good.

XOXO

Hey, Katers. Unfortunately, due to several reasons, including instances of plagiarism, I have made the difficult decision to cancel the final three sets of HEARTGIRLS & HEARTBOYS at the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, along with the BABYANGEL project. This choice was not made lightly, as I understand how much anticipation and excitement there is surrounding these events. The integrity of our work is paramount, and I believe it is essential to uphold certain standards. I appreciate your understanding during this time, and I hope to explore new opportunities that align with our values in the future. Thank you for your support.

Summer Wonderland - The Beaches

On the beautiful spring day of March 21st, 2025, Kaiya Kim joyously commemorated her transition into her 19th year of life by relishing a delectable confection of vibrant yellow and velvety vanilla cake, adorned elegantly with an array of perfectly arranged Oreo cookies delicately balancing the flickering flames of artistic candles on top. The sweet aroma of baking vanilla and the irresistible crunch of the Oreo cookies melded harmoniously with the heartfelt laughter and merry conversations that filled the room, creating a picturesque moment of celebration that resonated deeply with Kaiya and everyone fortunate enough to partake in her special day. As she blew out the dancing flames on her cake, surrounded by the warmth of cherished friends and family, Kaiya couldn't help but feel immensely grateful for the love and memories shared, imprinting this day as a vibrant snapshot of happiness in the album of her life.

Five days later… (March 26, 2025)

Kaiya Kim: (gasps) What is this?

(As soon as Kaiya finds someone to care for, her heart races as she arrives at the breathtaking Taylor farmhouse.)

Here comes Cupid.

Kaiya has been entered into Wonderland Beach, a stunning location featuring a beautiful farmhouse nestled among the sand dunes. As she explores this enchanting place, she is joined by a variety of whimsical animal creatures, including playful rabbits and other charming beings. These delightful companions appear as if summoned by Cupid, bringing an air of magic and joy to the surroundings. The atmosphere is filled with laughter and the sounds of waves crashing nearby, creating a serene yet lively environment. As Kaiya interacts with the animals, she discovers that each has a unique story, adding depth and wonder to her experience at this extraordinary beach.

Rina (Kaiya's female honey bunny) is set to join the animal creatures at Wonderland Beach as well.

(Kaiya opened the door for Cupid.)

Step inside, Cupid!

In a playful burst of magic, Cupid presents the lovingly crafted love letter to Kaiya, enticing her to read its heartfelt messages and romantic feelings that are sure to enchant her soul.

LOVE LETTER

Dear Kaiya,

I truly love you deeply, more than words can express. Though we have just celebrated our birthdays three days apart, I find myself longing to share joyful moments together. I would be delighted to come to Wonderland Beach, surrounded by wonderful and enchanting animal creatures, including our beloved female honey bunny, Rina. Imagining this beautiful scene brings joy to my heart. I often kiss the vision of your radiant presence as it rises vividly in my mind. Your dear heart beats harmoniously with my own, creating an unbreakable bond that inspires me every day. I cherish you and dream of our subsequent adventures together.

As we continue to set out on a journey that evokes the essence of Wonderland, may we cultivate countless beloved memories that will persist through time.

XOXO,

Yumi

--

Kaiya & Yumi - In love and in a magical place like Wonderland.

Kaiya Kim: Yumi? Is that you?

Yumi So: Yes, Kaiya. I’m back.

For their pairing, Kaiya and Yumi decided on the name Kaiyumi.

Kaiya and Yumi have spring birthdays (March 21st and 24th respectively) and are Arieses. The age difference between them is three days.

Wonderland Beach caters to all, as their goal is to weave magic with the animals. Hello again, Rina.

Kaiya Kim and Yumi Sō are dedicated science majors at Daegu University and Sichuan University, respectively, both striving to make significant contributions in their fields. Despite the geographical distance between their campuses, which symbolize the bond between their sister cities, they have cultivated a strong friendship that transcends borders. They often collaborate on various projects that enhance their understanding of science while also celebrating their rich cultural heritages. Their shared passion for discovery fosters a unique dynamic, enabling them to support one another in overcoming challenges. Together, they embody the spirit of unity and collaboration, demonstrating that through togetherness, even magic can emerge.

Magic has held a belief in Kaiya since her childhood. If she can maintain that belief, she can make anything possible.

Yumi was the essence of reality amidst a landscape of imagination. Magic represents the ability to think creatively, rather than relying on strength or verbal skills.

Kaiya and Yumi both possess an innate magical ability within them. Their unique gift sets them apart, allowing them to explore realms beyond the ordinary—happy with their animal creatures, including Rina.

Their journey together promises to unveil the true potential of their magic and the adventures that lie ahead. Now, they’re all enjoying the farmhouse and the beach, creating wonderful memories together.

[In the enchanting setting of Wonderland Beach, a charming farmhouse awaits Kaiya and Yumi, offering them a perfect retreat. The Aries babies’ idyllic vacation combines the beauty of nature with the warmth of home…the sound of waves and the scent of fresh air, becoming a cherished memory—deepening their bond in this magical escape. *along with the animals]

Seasonal Bliss

Created on April 15, 2026

Time spent: 1 hour 20 minutes

I love watching quilting shows on Create [TV], where I learned the craft pattern by pattern. These programs ignite my creativity and passion for quilting. Inspired by a couple of great books, including Super Easy Quilting for Beginners and The Complete Book of Patchwork, Quilting, & Appliqué, I dove into the world of fabric artistry. Using the patterns from these books, I transferred them onto paper and colored them in, bringing each design to life. The process is incredibly soothing and fulfilling, resulting in beautiful seasonal artwork that gives me immense joy and serves as a wonderful decoration [for my home].

Fall 4 U

What happens when a couple of youngsters find themselves falling in love and envision becoming future spouses? As they navigate their blossoming relationship, they dedicate time to cater to each other's needs and desires. Their meals -- between him and her -- consist of delightful dishes enjoyed together, such as pasta with fresh greens, a scrumptious cherry cake for dessert, and refreshing homemade lemonade. Each meal becomes a cherished occasion, filled with laughter and shared stories, deepening their bond. Eventually, as the laughter subsides and moments of silence envelop them, they lean in closer, their hearts racing, until it's time to share their first sweet kiss, marking a beautiful milestone in their journey together.

I’m so excited to release my new song after a three-year hiatus from music. My song is about romance, pastry, and of course…blues and pinks.
