Adieu: Who do you dread saying goodbye to the most?
Everyone. Whether it’s that cashier at that fast food joint she visited four months ago or her parents and peers back in Japan, Minori dreads giving them proper goodbyes. Because even though it’s just a random stranger, the girl believes ( read: wants ) to meet them all again and learn about them and listen to their stories and see what’s in their mind. Quite obviously, Minori would deny that the reason she can’t say goodbyes and wants to meet everyone again is because she is fragile and doesn’t want to be left alone. Instead of confirming that, she would say that the reason she wants to meet everyone again is because every human is “unique” and she wants to unsheathe them fully first before she lets them go. Both are true, actually. Though her most internal feelings compose mostly of the former reason.
Paper: What is your favorite novel?
With her indecisiveness and tendency to overthink, it would take ages for Minori to pick a favorite novel, even if you exclude light novels at that. Either way, for the most part, she enjoys/enjoyed everything she has read because she reads novels only when she is sure that that novel would satisfy her. Going back to the question, it’s hard for Minori to pick favorites but if she were to pick the ones she enjoyed the most it would have to be Lewis Carrol’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Haruki Murakami’s Sputnik Sweetheart, Frances Hodgson Burnett’s The Secret Garden, and maybe Jeffrey Eugenide’s The Virgin Suicides too.
Tiger: What is your bravest moment?
This meme was answered here already.
Eau de toilette: What is you favorite scent?
As cliche as it sounds, Minori loves the smell of freshly baked pastries. Why so? Well, she thinks it feels homely ( though she definitely has no experience and/or memories of either parents or any relatives baking her pastries. ) … and there’s also the fact that her first lover used to take her to fancy bakeshops for dates and let her eat as much as she wants.
Hiccup: What makes you nervous?
The girl is far from the ‘ nervous ‘ type so it’s hard for her to recall when exactly was she last anxious and why is it. Her faux confidence also easily overshadows her nervousness. Regardless of that, anxiousness is part of being human so of course, Minori experiences it too — though probably not as often as most. What makes her nervous? Lack of control or knowledge of any situation. Sure, she’ll still be all smirks and snarks in such a situation but that’s just a facade. Inside, paranoia is probably taking over her already.
Cedar: What is your favorite season?
Minori haven’t thought much about it, actually. If she was asked the same question out of the blue, the girl would fall into deep thought and ponder about it endlessly until she comes to a conclusion — only to repeat the cycle of overthinking again because she is too indecisive. Either way, Minori would most likely find spring to be most favorable out of the four. Summer is too hot, winter is too cold, and autumn only brings her childhood memories of herself raking fallen leaves repeatedly. Besides, spring is when most flowers bloom and the weather is also still kind of chilly.
She shrugs, her cheeks blushing a bit from embarrassment; “I don't like to use aegyo very often, but... when I do, it’s a killer. Plus yah why do you care...” - She hits your shoulder lightly, her smile growing wider; “We’re getting a free doughnut out of it!!”

Gimli: Have you ever had an opinion about someone that turned out to be completely wrong?
Honestly, too many to bring up. The ones that hurt the most always involve the relationship I have with my unnies. People have attacked me greatly for my career, and think it’s prospered at the expense of my unnies when that isn’t true. If I didn’t leave our mother company after our solo debut to go to one I knew would catapult my career, we would all be in the same boat and no one would be talking. I made a decision for myself and what I wanted to do with my life and I shouldn’t be faulted for that. A lot of people say things like “I’d hate Gain if I was a member” but forget that my biggest supporters are my members! I consult with them for concepts, I ask them for advice, they’re there for me when I’m scared and I doubt myself. They act, they direct, they produce, they compose, they write songs…they do so many things that I can’t do nor do I want to do. I let them do what they want and support them 100% of the way, why wouldn’t they support me? It doesn’t make any sense, and I don’t think people realize that. Not to mention the fact the my unnies are six full years older than I am. They have different agendas now and honestly always had. I shouldn’t have to halt my life, because they want to take breaks. They have a right to live how they want to, and so do I. I want to sing and perform as much as I can and I am not wrong. But these negative comments everyone seems to have about me and a relationship they clearly know nothing about are.
Arwen: Did you ever make a decision your family didn’t agree with?
We, as in Brown Eyed Girls, only really did mildly sexy concepts and performances up until Abracadabra. At first I was a little scared, because I came from a super conservative family and I didn’t want to upset my parents. I went through with it anyways, despite what they might of felt, and it honestly was one of the best decisions I ever made. All of us, really. The song has went down in history for our industry, the dance is still one of the most beloved dances in k-pop of all time. I’m proud of it’s success–but we are more than it and I don’t want people to forget that, either.
It also opened my own eyes and made me stop being afraid of speaking my mind about things. I went on to reinvent myself and my life really. I’m not afraid to wear something short, or talk about sex openly…I’m a woman. A grown woman. Some of my family gets it, and some don’t. That is fine with me. My mother, whom is my heart, loves me and comes to as many of my performances she can. She even went to our 26+ concert and watched me kissed Narsha unnie and didn’t scold me or look at me differently. I’m the sexy icon for Korea and my mother is okay with it. Therefore, I’m not concerned about anyone other than her who doesn’t agree with my adult decisions. They can kindly take a seat with everyone else who has nothing nice to say.
Walking was a fundamental commute of Hayden’s daily routine. But today, the short-packed chemistry student had decided upon a new method of travel. Something innovative: mind-blowing, ingenious, outstanding-
but highly discredited by one of their colleagues.
Words were exchanged and arguments built in the name of convenience, until it was clear that only a third party could break the tie. Hayden’s sleeves were quickly bunched above the elbow until the soles of their boots could smack and spit against the concrete, sending the stubborn mess to reeling to meet the first lucky person they laid eyes on.
“Hey, buddy.” They spoke up, reaching out to tug at the back of the boy’s coat.
“Tell me. You think I could ride that--” a hand briefly lifted to point at the steep set of stairs leading to the mouth of the subway. “--hand railing all the way down?”
— {★} — Euijin was never the type to pull pranks -- she'd normally be found either watching or laughing her ass off at her co-members that did the pranking and at those that were victimized by the good fun. There were times she wanted to join in on the whole mischief, though, hence why she was just about to ring the doorbell of a particularly notorious grandma that lived in one of the quiet sidestreets of Hongdae. "Scared she's gonna yell at us?", she asked before a small snort slipped her, "but fine! No ding-dong ditches! Let's do some hardcore drugs instead." The idol was merely teasing once she spoke her last words. There was no way in hell she could risk her reputation and health -- that fact was obvious to everyone she knew.
