°☆.。.:* — GOING to the dance with jieun was an odd feeling but obviously not foreign.
he lets his fingers ruffle against the top of her head as they come towards the snack table of tonight’s event as his eyes began to stare warily amongst all the food and drinks splayed out. normally, he wouldn’t have been this worried at choosing something for the younger girl because he normally went to the dance with someone else for the entirety of his three years at dongnam but this year was different.
this year was going to be with jieun.
“so what are you craving, jieun-ah?” junhwan murmurs towards his companion with a wide grin as his arm settles around her in a comforting presence. they weren’t actually together but he was still her date and he knows how to treat his dates right. “you want some punch? i can go get us some punch if you’d like.”
but then he rethinks the idea when he spots a non-familiar figure pour some kind of ember liquid into the punch bowl, two previous years of dances has taught him that it’s suddenly become something you shouldn’t drink if you wanted to continue the dance with some sanity.
“actually –– ” he murmurs before steering her away from the spiked punch towards the more reliable assortment of bottled waters and soda cans that sad idly on the side. “let’s get water instead, yeah? let’s stay hydrated!”

BIOGRAPHY!
Kim Jieun was born on April 4th into a very talented family. Her father is the CEO of Crystal Entertainment who is currently leading the kpop scene and was part of a past popular boy group Electric, mother is a famous violinist, and her older brother by two years is a famous pianist. Jieun lived with expectation throughout her whole life due to her family’s status.
From the minute she was born, she was known as the “next star” of the family.
When she was five she was taught flute as a way for her to be part of the family. She was given private lessons by the best and competed in competitions winning awards. Even though she was an amazing flute player.
Growing up, she did not live a normal childhood, her parents kept her inside (besides school) and made her practice the flute. Watching animation on tv was her way of enjoying her childhood. Without her parents knowing, she would draw in her room, practicing everyday to increase her skills.
Soon she learned through art that life could be fun and found her passion: animation. When it was time for her to apply for Kurin and everyone expected for her to apply for the performing art department. Her father, mother, and brother all applied for performing art, but she took a chance and applied for art specially for animation. She sent in her application and demo reel of some of her work and she was accepted.
Her whole family sees her as a disappointment and her brother turned his back on her as he was caught up in his life.
She took art classes and soon picked up animation. She realized true happiness when she makes art and realizes that the flute is not the right thing for her. When her parents wanted to apply for Kurin, she was expected to go in as flute, but she secretly applied for art especially for animation. Of course her parents disapproved and was furious, but for once she did not care and continued to do what she loves.
