backtracked to sept 2020
first day of dueling club
the whole fiasco of the dueling club and being partnered up with someone much more senior than her had riled her up enough that she had done everything within her might to take him down. and it had worked, mostly. in the end, she had managed to disarm him whilst sitting on him and honestly?
the tension between the two of them had been palpable. chaeyeon is still unsure of what had really gone down between the two of them because it had all been a blur, mostly.
there had been a single moment when she had looked into @msulevi‘s eyes and felt a tug, though she would chalk that off to the audience they had had in that moment. she had managed to gain the upper hand on an upperclassman and for that? she would say that today’s dueling club meeting had absolutely been a success.
also it helped that said upperclassman was hot. a good distraction, if you will.
so when the group is let out afterwards, she has half a mind to see if she could find him to talk to him. or something. even if he was taken, she didn’t think it would hurt to make a ... friend. of sorts. she could always use someone to bump egos with in dueling, because honestly? she had had a great time today. now she just had to find him.
“i guess it is a decent view,” kiyoung admits afterwards but any words he was planning on saying next dies in his throat when he sees chaeyeon lean outside the window further than he deemed safe.
he immediately reaches his arms out, intending to pull her back just in case, only for the carriage to suddenly jerk while she was still peeking out which causes her to tumble backward. “wha–” he splutters, his vision now filled with the girl splayed across his lap. in the costume she’s wearing though, he suddenly feels like he did something wrong so he turns his head to the side, a faint blush dusting his cheeks, and mumbles, “are you okay?”
she’s not expecting anything to happen when she leans out the side, but as the carriage lurches chaeyeon literally sees her life flash before her eyes—she has a brief thought of she’s too young too die and she didn’t even get to confess before she’s pulled to ‘safety’ and finds herself sprawled across kiyoung’s lap, a bit dazed from the events that had just occurred.
one moment, she’s in front of the window and the next she’s pressed against kiyoung, closer than she had ever allowed herself to be, considering she’s taken and she’s also pretty sure he had a girlfriend. or something.
there’s a brief moment where she just stays there, entirely winded and struck dumb with surprise and she decides to just slump there for a moment to catch her breath. it doesn’t cross her mind at all about how he might feel, with her outfit and whatnot, kind of just enjoying his warmth because, as much as she wouldn’t admit it, it is a bit chilly in her halloween costume tonight. she might as well milk it for all it’s worth right now right?
“y-yeah,” chaeyeon stammers in response once she’s regained all her senses, finally pulling away and sitting back in her spot, cheeks flushed pink. it’s dark enough that she can safely hope that he wouldn’t notice that she might be blushing. she spends the next few moments just forcefully willing her cheeks to calm the fuck down before she glances back at him, looking rightfully sheepish.
“thanks ...” she says, not stating for what exactly but not thinking that she needed to considering that he had legit practically saved her life. “thought i was a goner there for a moment.”
helllooooo funky peeps i’m bringing you song chaeyeon, also known as charlotte song, also known as charlie song, charlie from charlotte or from charmander? who knows! she hails from ilvermorny (go thunderbird!) and then took a gap year to do some job shadowing in egypt (she went with some archaeologists to a tomb and explored a bunch of dig sites) before finally deciding to come to mokseong after a bit of a fight with her parents.
here’s a link to her about page!! i’ll post some important tidbits and wanted connections below!! if you wanna plot, pls just hit that like button and i will be on my way to your ims <3
when she had come up with the idea for them to go on the carriages, it had fully been under the intention to try to scare her best friend somehow. she’s not quite sure how she was going to manage that, but that was genuinely what she had been planning to try to do.
mostly because it was @msukiyoung and also it was funny when he was scared. not that she had ever seen him scared since they were like ... five ... or something. but the thought is there.
instead, she had completely forgotten how boring the carriage ride was considering she had ridden it with her boyfriend a few hours earlier. and they had ended up, uh, not paying attention to the ride at all, for the lack of a better way to put it. (nothing nsfw, no worries!) and now, she’s trying to figure out if there was a way to end the ride without fully just jumping out of the carriage.
“do you think we could command the thestrals to just ... i dunno, let us off?” chaeyeon asks, sighing as she slumps back into her seat, all plans of scaring forgotten. “what if i literally just jump?” she shifts to peek out the window on her side of the carriage, leaning a bit further when nothing happens.
while most couples had opted to match, junseong and ( @msuchaeyeon ) are a little different. chaeyeon had suggested a “first look” kind of thing, and while junseong was 100% sure — maybe even 110% sure — that he was going to end up disappointing his girlfriend, he had agreed nonetheless. with all of his friends ditching him to dress up with their own significant others or friends, and his own girlfriend not even wanting to match, junseong is at an absolute loss.
his costume is rather… lackluster, even if he’s admitting it to himself. the furry ears, the scratches and claw marks over this face, the torn and ripped clothes in neutral colours… yeah, okay, he did a horrible job with his costume and he’s kind of ashamed of it.
especially when he sees his girlfriend standing by the doors, waiting for him so they can go out to the carriages (which are supposed to be romantic, or something), looking very very attractive in her costume. beautiful, really. coming up to her and dropping a kiss on her head casually, he stares at her in obvious, open appreciation.
“wow, yeonnie,” he says with a tone that’s clearly indicating his appreciation, “you look gorgeous.” for a moment, he forgets how… underwhelming his outfit is, distracted by her beauty. cheesy.
she’s been excited for halloween since returning to school after summer break. her costume is one that she’s been planning for a while now, and she had fully completed the look about a week or two ago with the help of the mazik and even the muggle naver. she, personally, thinks it’s absolutely perfect and she can’t wait to show it off to people considering that she had hidden her costume from everyone until the night of.
and now the day was here.
the ‘first look’ idea was one that was born out of too many hours spent on flootube and youtube alike, watching wedding videos—which was entirely out of character for her and chaeyeon genuinely is not sure how she had ended up in that section. but it is what it is, and she’s actually pretty excited to meet up with her boyfriend for their little date at the event.
while she hadn’t expected anything amazing from him—how could she, when he was part of the male species?—she had thought her expectations had been set pretty low. but that didn’t even prepare her enough to see what was waiting for her at their proposed meeting spot. here she is, in short shorts, a cropped tank top, with gun holsters strapped around her thighs and her hair braided back and there he is ... being an animal? of some sort? she’s not sure, honestly.
“what are you supposed to be?” chaeyeon asks, her voice disbelieving as she looks her boyfriend (all the way) up and down, unsure if she should be shocked or amazed. or maybe just disappointed? she’ll acknowledge his compliment to her afterwards, considering it does make her feel pretty happy even if he’s just saying that. (he’s not. she knows she looks amazing tonight.) “a furry?”
