; okay after talking it through with a few people, i actually decided to take my leave from msu ;w; real life has gotten far too hectic and i realized that sticking around wasn’t in my best interests as a mun because i’m so busy working from 4:30 am - 8:30 pm kdsfjl but!!!
just know that yeona and sihwan went on a vacation and likely got married sporadically ... because that’s absolutely something they would do ....... is anyone surprised. no.
meanwhile yian is ... off doing yian things. mainly tending to his plants and taking pictures, keeping to himself and being a big ol third wheel for yeona and sihwan. ty for having me this long! i appreciate everyone who interacted with my muses ^^
they’re surrounded by many people, but whenever they’re together, everything else fades away into oblivion. the only ones who matters right this moment, and every other, are the two of them, wrapped around each other as if the rest of the world are here to witness their spectacle. the heat of the fire doesn’t hold a candle to the warmth he feels with yeona’s arms looped around his waist.
when he notices her shift, he turns his head and gives her his entire attention. and if yeona would be the only face he sees for the rest of his life, he thinks he’d be content. her words reaches his ears, yet takes some time to process. the implications are endless—yeona provided no further explanation. so, as he always does, he chooses the most magical option.
“wherever you go, you know i’d follow.” his answer came quickly, no sign of hesitation present. “to the ends of the earth—maybe further.” he smiles, beaming. “forever.”
🌙 ˟ ━━━ ・・・ it’s like this that yeona thinks she can read whatever it is that he’s thinking. after all, it feels more like she’s known sihwan forever now, like they’ve been entwined for an eternity and they’ll still be bound for another eternity to come. maybe this is what it means to be tied together by the heavens, a match made by fate - yeona has learned that with sihwan, soulmates really aren’t so foreign a concept. everything seems right when she’s with him.
and maybe that’s why she can tell what it is that he’s thinking even if he doesn’t say it aloud. sihwan has never been good at keeping things from her; she’s always been able to figure out his secrets before he even has a chance to voice them aloud. it’s why she can tell that the thought of marriage crossed his mind for half a second, and why yeona held her breath.
he doesn’t ask though. is it bad that she’s disappointed?
is it bad that she wonders why?
still, her lips curve up to match a crescent moon, thin and smiling as the bonfire casts light on her face. “ you’ve promised. now you have to keep it.” yeona pats his cheek, shifting in his lap to get up. “ let’s go back to the dorms.” she doesn’t state the obvious, but it’s something that she’s sure he knows - she’ll be sleeping in his bed tonight.
“hm?” he asks once, looks to what she’s standing in front of, and realization dawns on him. “ah. i’m in if sihwan is,” kiyoung answers and looks over at the older, a slightly hopeful look in his eyes. if the other said yes and kiyoung wins, he would feel a bit better about this entire thing - and possibly look cool in front of yeona too. “you’ll play, right?”
( .... )
he looks up from their joined hands towards the booth. his lips part for a moment, blinking up at the attraction. “you know, i tried to do this earlier—i totally couldn’t do it, i felt bad. gave the quaffle to the person behind me.” he laughs a little, recalling the story. “with a prize on the line though… let’s do it!” sihwan gives a grin. “i’ll harden my heart for this!”
🌙 ˟ ━━━ ・・・ being with the two of them feels more like a blessing than anything else - though it’s hard for her too, when she can easily sense the way that kiyoung wants to run away. from them, from her - maybe this little game between the three of them is a way to make him stay. after all, she wants him to feel included. regardless of what he thinks of her right now, no matter how her heart has turned, yeona still loves him. maybe just not in the way that he wants.
that’s something that sihwan doesn’t know though, and something she’d never say aloud. so instead of allowing her thoughts to lay plain on her expression, she brushes it all away. it’s easier that way.
her eyes twinkle a little at the both of them, still keeping a tight hold on both of their hands when guiding them over to the booth. it’s been a long time since she’s handled a quaffle, but part of her knows that it’s like muggles and their bikes - you never really forget how to handle one once you’ve done it before.
looking between the two of them and patting both of their arms, a little laugh bubbles from the back of her throat as yeona makes a gesture to the booth. “ you two can go first. i’ll probably embarrass you if i do.” she steps back, the quirk of a smile on her lips. “ or should we figure out our prizes if we win first ... ?”
🌙 ˟ ━━━ ・・・ she'd heard the butterbeer had been spiked during this year's drinking contest. what was it that yeona heard whispered ... what professor aurora doesn't know won't hurt her? perhaps not, but it could certainly hurt the people involved - so she avoids joining the contest; the taste of butterbeer doesn't really suit her fancy either way. it's as she's passing by though, hunting for sihwan after they got separated that she's surprised by xuexiu's stumbling - smelling distinctly of butterbeer. “ you were in the contest, weren't you?" she sighs, keeping a hold on the other girl's arms. “ can you stand? do you want to go back to your dorm room to sleep it off?"
🌙 ˟ ━━━ ・・・ her fingers thread through sihwan's as they walk, and her head turns to kiyoung on her other side. it takes a moment as she watches him before she casually wraps her hand around his too, keeping him close. after all, kiyoung is still her best friend; sihwan is her boyfriend - they're both important to her. she can show the same amount of affection to both. yeona keeps her eyes forward even though she can feel kiyoung's burning a hole into her head. sihwan doesn't seem to care, she won't either. kiyoung will learn to take his love from her where he can.
it's like this that the three come upon the quaffle dunk - yeona stops in front of it, showing her interest and feeling both of the boys tug on her hands before they realize that she just wants to stop. “ do you want to play a game?" she asks quietly, looking between them with a soft smile on her lips. “ the one who can dunk the professor gets a wish granted from the losers. what do you say?"
🌙 ˟ ━━━ ・・・ out of all her brother's friends, she thinks that perhaps she worries about cal the most. something about him makes her think that he needs the attention, and when she has the time, yeona tries to give as much as possible. and right now, separated from sihwan as she is and without her mobile to give him a call to find out where she is, it's hard not to catch the sight of the familiar boy with his arms chock full of things he's certainly bought from one of the stalls or another. “ cal?" she tilts her head curiously, eyes pointed at the things overflowing in his arms. “ do you need some help carrying that?"
🌙 ˟ ━━━ ・・・ she takes her eyes off her rather large cotton candy cloud for not even thirty seconds, but that’s all it takes. when she turns her head back to it with a smile, ready to take a piece of the spun sugar, yeona sees that almost half of it is gone. incredulous eyes turn to nisa, and instead of the smile that was cast on her lips just a second ago, now her expression is a full pout. “ you took it, didn’t you? my cotton candy ..” she picks at the leftover sweet cotton, almost melodramatically putting a bit in her mouth and allowing it to melt on her tongue. “ how did you eat it that fast, anyway ...? i wasn’t looking away that long -”
🌙 ˟ ━━━ ・・・ looking up at the ferris wheel leaves her heart pounding in a way that feels almost too uncomfortable. it’s not the first time that she’s looked up at a ferris wheel but it is the first time that yeona has seen one so close, and seen just how high they stand in the air - the thought of hanging there in nothing but a metal seated cage makes her stomach lurch. and though yeona never thought she had a real fear of heights, just flying - well, it’s clear to her now that it comes with the territory. “ byul .. do you want to ride the teacups instead? it looks more fun than this.” yeona says finally, turning to the girl with a thin smile that doesn’t really tell her the real reason why she doesn’t want to ride it at all. “ what do you say?”
🌙 ˟ ━━━ ・・・ as if broomsticks weren’t enough .... “ i am not getting on the bumper karts.” she finally says firmly, taking a large step backwards. even just looking at them in the air like that makes her throat dry and her body shiver in a way that makes her want to turn and run. “ if you want to get in line, be my guest. i’ll go .. walk around or something while you’re flying.” most people don’t know of yeona’s fear of flying maybe, especially if they didn’t see her meltdown during her earlier years of school when she was forced to ride a broom. but even still, no one is forcing her to get on the bumper karts today. no matter who they are.
🌙 ˟ ━━━ ・・・ it’s a rare moment that she’s split up from either kiyoung or sihwan or both - but it isn’t something that bothers yeona. walking through the crowds on the hunt for something interesting, she happens to spot callie in the crowd and frowns. the expression on her face looks a little more dark than she’s used to seeing from the girl and she approaches her, gently patting her arm to grab her attention. “ hey. you look .. less than pleased. was speed dating really that bad?”
🌙 ˟ ━━━ ・・・ they say that opposites attract, and maybe that’s why they’re magnetic. kiyoung is her best friend and has been since they were children, though it’s certain that many find their relationship strange. kiyoung is hotheaded and impulsive and yeona is collected and calm - but it’s in this that they find a balance. being with him makes her feel settled somehow.
today she seeks him out with a little smile on her lips, shifting the straps of the bag that’s on her back with her thumbs once he’s found. after all, even if he is a spark, yeona still knows all the places he likes to settle. magnets. “ kiyoung.” she hums his name at him, coming to a stop with her hands resting on her bag straps. “ i’m going into town for some shopping. come with me.”
the air is silent, punctuated only by the brief sounds of pen scratches. chipped black nails tap against the desk table before a loud sigh is released– startling the small black cat dozing on the windowsill.
aza’s just stretched his arms over his head before he’s groaning with the weight– said cat had jumped right into his lap in retaliation. slender fingers scratch between the soft ears before he stands up, ere landing deftly on his feet with a huff. with a glance at his phone, he clicks his tongue and nods to himself. donning a plain black hoodie, he heads out, unphased as ere slips between his legs and zips out of sight the moment the door is open.
his shadow slinks through the hallways and he’s sure his housemates are used to it by now– he’s not normally this disheveled but it’s a rest day so sue him. his hands are in the pockets of his baggy joggers, his posture relaxed, composed, as he makes his way towards the suseong dormitories. he slips in with another student, casually and swiftly, and no one seems particularly alarmed by his presence at this point.
he finds, without surprise, ere already waiting in front of his destination, looking at him with his round eyes, a little bit smug. aza just clicks his tongue at him, and lets himself into his sister’s room without further ado, ere immediately disappearing somewhere into a crevice to find his own sibling. she’s at her desk– lovely– so he drops himself onto her bed and splays out. his lanky figure covers the structure, his exhale loud as his eyes close.
he’s no longer a freshman, but when he gets homesick, this is the next best thing.
🌙 ˟ ━━━ ・・・ there is a part of her that likes the quiet. it feels nice to let it envelop her in her room sometimes, still charmed with the effect of stars and sky from the night before when sihwan came to sleep next to her. sometimes, when things feel like they’re too much to think about, it’s easy for yeona to look up at the stars and realize just how small she is. it really puts things into perspective.
it’s days like these that she locks herself in her room, just to look at the way the stars move across her walls and how she can easily walk amongst them. realistically, yeona would never be able to touch the stars but with them hanging around her like this, it almost feels like she can - so she sits in her desk chair and stares into space, quite literally.
it’s in the quiet and the dark like this that she notices a shadow move, one that isn’t nyx. the white paws give him away, and alert her to another certain visitor bound to be on his way. somehow, yeona still wonders how it is that her brother manages to slip into the suseong dorms unnoticed or uncared about all the time, but whenever he comes by, she feels a sense of ease.
this time, he doesn’t even pay attention to the charm. certainly, with sihwan hanging around more and more often, spending time at their family home over the summer holidays it’s less wondrous for him than it is for an astrophile like her. instead, he falls to her bed with a loud sigh, and yeona tilts her head enough that her long, blonde hair falls over her shoulders. “ what’s wrong? were you lonely?’
🌙 ˟ ━━━ ・・・ the flicker of flames lights up her face, but the real reason she feels warm is because she’s curled up into sihwan’s side, head resting on his shoulder. in moments like these, she feels like they’re the only two people in the world even in spite of being surrounded by almost the entirety of the school. with sihwan, her heart beats strong and steady, and makes her feel just as alive as the flames before them.
shifting her head a little on his shoulder to gaze on him, yeona wraps her arms tighter around his waist, fingers brushing against the small of his back in the whisper of a touch. with sihwan, her heart beats steady but it’s with a pulse strong enough to reach her ears when she whispers, “ do you want to run away with me?”
the implications are up to him - he can take it whatever way he pleases. either way, it’s all the same to her. because with sihwan, everything is right in her night sky.
sihwan prides himself with his position as prefect. he has done a lot to reach this point, proven himself different from the assumptions made about him from his family lineage. it’s a wonder, then, why he’s currently willing to risk losing that position by sneaking out of the dorms with someone—but maybe he’s being dramatic, surely nothing will go wrong, right?
it’s all worth it in the end, sihwan thinks, when he takes a quick glance at ( @yeonamsu ), and sees her just as excited as he was. he can’t help the smile that graced his lips, tugging at her hand to draw her in closer. it’s easy for him to manoeuvre through the dark hallways, he has walked down these same halls countless times before, there’s a mental map at the back of his head. it doesn’t take long for them to reach the exit.
“can you guess where we’re going?” he asks, voice only barely above a whisper. he’s fairly certain that yeona has been there before, it’s hard to avoid such a beautiful place. “i’ll give you a hint: water.” he lets out a small and light laugh, flashing yeona a bright smile. “if you can guess, i’ll give you a prize! give it a go.” and maybe they shouldn’t be speaking so freely, but when he’s with yeona, he can keep talking for hours and it still won’t be enough.
alternatively, he could stare at her for the same amount of time and he won’t ever get tired.
🌙 ˟ ━━━ ・・・ maybe yeona should know better, but when it comes to ryu sihwan - when it comes to them together, their logic disappears. sometimes it feels like the world itself disappears and all its rules mean nothing, because it’s just the two of them together and that’s really all she wants. at this moment in time, yeona is sure there is no one else she loves quite so much as ryu sihwan, and she’d even get on a broomstick if she had to if it meant seeing him at the ends of this earth.
for now though, all it means is their fingers knitted tight and trying to stay quiet as they roam through silent halls. she wonders if her eyes sparkle in the night like a star because when she looks at him, she’s certain she sees the silver of moonlight shining from his skin. in this moment, to her, it doesn’t matter what they do. he’s her moon and she’s his sky. ( the world will never again see another love like this. )
“ if i guess, what’s my prize -” she hums back at him, eyes glimmering as she suspected they did whenever he shines the light of his smile upon her. the september night sky is pretty for all its inky black, and she’s certain that he has to be leading her outside somewhere. for all the rumours that suseong is full of psychics, yeona knows with her it’s just logic and the process of elimination. the true mystery of suseong, for her and sihwan both, is how it tied the strings of fate together. “ but then, you’ve already made it too easy ...”

born the oldest of two to a strange but well known family. her younger brother is jeon yeonjun!
father is a pureblood, mother is from a pureblood family. however, she was born a squib .. remember that notation of a well known family i mentioned? it was about her side of the family.
fate has somehow given both a curse and a blessing to this woman’s family tree. every other generation, they produce brilliant witches and wizards - we’re talking genius level. whatever they set their mind to, they could excel at.
in this, there have been well known wizard lawmakers, aurors, wandmakers, potion masters, professors ... there’s a chance that perhaps you’ve heard about them in history books provided you’ve studied korean wizarding history. however, the catch is that the children of the brilliant wizards and / or witches will inevitably end up as a squib.
her mother came to terms with it, but eventually after helping to bring yeona and yeonjun to this world, their father ran off because he was tired of living with a squib and pretending to love her. surprise! men are trash.
yeona became extremely close and fiercely protective of her mother after this. she’d do her best to make sure to make her mother’s life easier, because even if she couldn’t do magic there were certainly things that yeona could take care of to help her. whether or not it was considered illegal.
it became increasingly clear that yeona was a natural talent at flying - from a young age, she loved to soar through the open air on her broomstick. her best friend wasn’t as good of a flyer as she was, though he always wanted to show off. in their early years at school, the summer before either of them were allowed to try out for quidditch, he accidentally knocked her from her broom causing massive injury. ( yeona also had to get a new wand because of this, but that’s another story for a different day. ) she still has a fear of brooms even now; heights don’t bother her as much as flying does however. in the end, her talent was never recognized and yeona’s dream of potentially going pro as she got older fizzled out.
being that she’s easily forgiving, yeona never blamed kiyoung for the accident and is still best friends with him to this day. their relationship is .. complicated, but she enjoys being around him.
yeona and her brother have a pair of sibling cats that they’ve named nyx and erebus. yeona’s cat is nyx, while her brother has erebus. nyx is dating kiyoung’s cat byul .... they girlfriends. it cute. nyx also hates men and will 110% scratch them if she gets the chance. (:
yeona is currently dating sihwan ( and has been since around march of her sophomore year ). no, her best friend doesn’t know for Reasons and she doesn’t plan on telling him either. but !!! they are sickeningly cute so there’s that plus

a suseong junior currently studying charms as a major, with curses as her minor. she hopes to eventually become a professor. she’ll go to grad school for education so that she can get her degree in it
really invested in astronomy as a hobby, and thus she became the astronomy club’s president for this school year.
inevitably ended up joining the charms club due to her interest in her major ( which is how she met her boyfriend actually ). they often have study dates together at the library or in the suseong dorms; sometimes in the club room as well
