isabella felt the side of her lips pull, fighting a small smile at the girl’s comeback. “i’d be polite and apologise for the disturbance, but since there aren’t any other free seats around here i think i will just make myself comfortable. thank you so much for understanding, ma poupée.” she scooped some vanilla ice cream, bringing to her lips as her eyes assessed the girl across from her. “it might be a bad time to share with you that we don’t always get what we want. i wouldn’t know, but i’ve heard it’s quite common.” the chatters around them was increasing in volume, almost puzzling isabella as to why the other girl looked like she was in the middle of studying. “i’m isabella du pont, and i must say you have incredible hair.” she might dislike most people, but a girl’s hair should almost be complimented. especially if she looked like that.
‘ don’t call me that , ’ juni has to recount high school french for the sake of , and has to resist the strong desire to roll her eyes . juni’s loss of appetite for her frozen yogurt is overwhelming at that point and sets it aside on the table with a huff . weren’t they not supposed to be talking ? the airpods in her ears makes the chatter around them relatively muffled , even if there isn’t anything playing at that given moment . ‘ was your point of coming over here to get under my skin in a record timing of two minutes or what ? you are incredibly insufferable . ’ juni swipes her finger against the track pad of her laptop , hoping that the other will take the hint that she doesn’t want to talk , but alas , it doesn’t work . juni decides that she’ll play nice , for now . ‘ juni yang , and you should . i don’t spend as much money as i do for it not to be complimented . ’
“well… it is certainly convenient that i found you here.” isabella scoffed, placing her handbag on one of the chairs before sitting down in front of the other student. her original plan was to enjoy a scoop of ice cream by herself, but as she arrived and scanned all the tables full of mingling students, the somehow familiar face called for her. “if we do have to share pleasantries and small chat in order to share this table, you can start now. somehow it sounds better than the freshmen chatter i’ve had to endure all day.”
a spoonful of plain mango frozen yogurt hangs in the space before her mouth , berry toned lips pressing together as the previously unoccupied seat is suddenly taken . not in much of a mood to study in the library or her home , juni thought that she could study for an upcoming exam in khione’s . as always , that turned out to be a bad idea . she wasn’t in much of a mood for small talk , and before she has a chance to say that the seat is taken ( which it definitely isn’t ) , she’s being spoken to . ‘ uh , ’ her voice trails quietly . ‘ personally , i’d rather that seat not be occupied by someone at all , but alas , we’re here . ’
excuse me as i scream on main for a minute . [ and , scene ] hi everyone i’m kofi , 23 , prefer she / they pronouns , and i’m so happy to be here ! i chickened out of applying for this amazing group the first time around and uh .... def screamed when i got accepted 🥺 . i stanned a new girl group , thus sparking my luv for miss yoo jimin ( pls go stream aespa’s ‘ black mamba ’ 😌 ) . i will admit that juni is a newer muse of mine , so she’s got plenty of room for development ! that being said , i’m gonna try to keep this intro short and i can’t wait to write with everyone !
* ◜ yoo jimin , cis woman & she / her ◞ * according to school records , that’s jyu - ni ‘juni’ yang walking on campus grounds with their usual vanilla sweet cream cold brew from the ancient grounds cafe . they’re known for sleek black hair never out of place and are often spotted at the versailles garden reading their much ado about nothing . almost everyone knows their family is worth like twelve billion dollars , so we suspect they’re a member of a labyrinth , you know , the one for new money . do you know where they were the night that the scholarship student died ? they claim they were on their way to an off campus gala , must be a international relations thing , right . and hey , don’t you agree that the junior reminds you of a burning desire to leave you with a broken heart , the overwhelming pleasure that rakes through your body when she kisses your neck , & a melodious laugh in a most inappropriate setting ? you better watch out peitho before something dangerous happens to you and life ends at twenty one .

𝟎𝟎𝟏. 𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 .
the yang family , comprised of father , mother , & daughter . a picturesque family worthy of a vogue cover ( & has been achieved ) , worthy of an oil painting hanging over a modern fireplace . her parents , both born into poverty , raised in cramped homes with too many family members & with ambitions that meant being the best of their peers . hwan finds solace in working odd construction jobs & manages to land a job with the right developer at the right time . dasom , hundreds of miles away , finds her calling in the brightly lit department stores , wishing for better solutions to the beauty that’s advertised . both have ambitions , ambitions that are soon fulfilled & they’re the pride & joy of their respective families .
after a chance meeting , a whirlwind romance & a modest wedding , they’re married . business is going well for the couple , building their respective brands without ever accepting any adversaries that come their way . dasom’s desire for people to feel beautiful expands as she becomes pregnant with their only child & despite the unplanned nature of the pregnancy , the couple are overjoyed . first comes love , then comes marriage , here comes dasom and hwan with a fendi baby carriage . with the zeroes adding on in their bank accounts , it’s a move to manhattan at thirteen years old when their daughter comes into her own .
with access to funds that seem never ending , as a naturally gifted student academically , socially & athletically , an affectionately nicknamed juni was the definition of an ace . never — not once , did her mother have to tell her to straighten her back . to be the most sought after woman in the room . to command respect . to quote mrs. yang , ‘ my jyu - ni will never be second best . ’ oh , how right she is . juni never encounters the word no , often casting longing gazes until someone fills her time , her glass , her bed with their presence . she floats on a cloud reserved for herself , silently demanding a spectator’s full attention as if a princess has come to town . have you heard of the curse ?
who is to be a yang without experiencing a lapse in perception ? to suddenly have a fall from grace that has you spiraling & afraid . love had never been in her vocabulary until her final year at her prestigious high school . it’s whirlwind , uttering those three little words before the fourth date & sharing strawberry milkshakes in the plaza hotel . three months in & like a scene straight out of your favorite horror film , melted butter pecan ice cream drips from her waffle cone & down her knuckles as she witnesses her love love another woman . ‘ my jyu - ni will never be second choice , ’ her mother echoes . then , she vows , to seduce & destroy . to never let herself be vulnerable ( let alone to a man ) ever again .
enter clemonte university , a place with like - minded students & the best place for mental stimulation after finding harvard to be exhausting . she develops an interest in the scarlet woman . to use her ‘ feminine wiles ’ to be wined , to be dined , to break & to leave wanting more . ‘ what do you see when you look at me ? ’ honeyed words drip from plush lips in the versailles garden , a warm but methodical simper spreading across features at the lies she’s told . ‘ is it me that you desire or the proposition ? ’ she takes & takes , leaving a trail of broken hearts , angered souls and empty wallets in her wake . the curse of the yang family has reared its ugly head again — do you dare to break it ?

best described as the independent woman , as the better version of a popular television teen who thrives on manipulation & elitism . gets what she wants with the point of a finger & the bat of a lash . has a strong interest in people . jealousy is a bitch , but they’re best friends . finds comfort in the swipe of another’s credit card & the freedom of freeing herself from their sheets before her spot in the bed has a chance to warm . would easily be cast in a clemonte production if her theatrics were reserved for the stage & if there were tears , she wishes for them to be diamonds .
easily burns bridges as if holding the match . don’t start a habit of telling her no & gets strangely horny for confrontation . will back you up in a fight even if you’re wrong , finds pleasure in seeing a face turn red & will never hide her disgust for anyone . is genuine in her speech & has facial expressions that speak before she opens her mouth . an ice cold demeanor that has been completely impenetrable for the ghosts of a lover’s past & plans to keep it that way .
