PITCH PERFECT.

@yfxwonwoo

it started in fourth grade.

some boy with small hands and messy hair said evey’s pitches weren’t too great, so she had felt the need to correct him. her pitches were amazing, thank you very much, and this scruffy kid had no right to criticize her. 

it hadn’t ended well, to explain it simply, as well as gloss over the scab she’d had on her knee for two whole weeks (a long time when you’re eight years old) and the baseball-shaped bruise she’s sure she had left somewhere on the boy’s body.

they’d run into each other again, over the years. there was even the smallest sort of tenuous friendship between them - similar situations, the shared burden of being the token asian kid, a mutual love for really good food - but it was always broken again by an argument similar to that of their very first interaction, even as they grew up.

that same lanky kid was across from her now. she rolled her eyes and set her hands on her hips in the most confident stance she could come up with at the moment. “yeah, yeah, sure you can make a paper airplane better than me. i’ve had years of perfecting this art, alright?”

he shakes the other’s hand, noticing how his own hand is literally tiny against the stranger’s bitterly. “um — i’m jinhwan. and i’m fine, thank you.”

looking back on it, maybe she should’ve given the guy some kind of warning. the slight gape of his mouth and the pink of his cheeks are more than enough of an indicator that he had not seen this coming at all. but, she decides, ending her mental debate, it’s too late and she’s already here now, so what the hell.

the blatant sort of awe ryong catches on his face is nice, too - she’ll take anything as a compliment unless it’s clearly labelled otherwise. overall he seems pleasant so far, from his slightly hesitant - but not rude - introduction to the fact that he hasn’t started yelling at her for disturbing him or something ridiculous like that.

she keeps the smile on her face as she retracts her hand and continues talking. “nice to meet you, jinhwan! sorry about just barging over here and talking to you but i was bored and you seemed nice, so, why not, y’know?” her voice is confident and fast-paced, syllables flying out of her mouth like projectiles. it’s hard to tell she’s still not entirely comfortable with the language.

“anyway,” ryong picks up again, shifting her stance to be more comfortable, “i’m ryong and is there anything you want to talk about? anything i should... i dunno, know about you?” she leaves careful space for any type of answer. it’s polite and she can use it to bridge into building her own comfort. so far, so good, she thinks, good job picking a new friend, evey.

— 〶 MOIETY .

The red hair and eyes that look so much like his own, features that he couldn’t help but recognize immediately on the spot. It brought Jaebum to smile and walk towards her, immediately engulfing her in a big hug. In an embrace that he’s missed for six years, for nearly half of her life. A small laugh escaped him as he held her tight, this felt surreal.

His little sister was finally home.

evey liked flying. there was something about it, watching the world beneath her - she even had a soft spot for the in-flight peanuts - but the very best part of flying was always getting out of the plane.

there was even more purpose in her step than usual, more urgency and excitement. she couldn’t wait to get out.

there was someone waiting for her. 

it was with her unique brand of reckless abandon she ran toward him, arms already spread wide. they closed around a warm, solid body that was most definitely there, hugging her back just as tightly, and not half the globe away. (the last time she’d hugged her brother like this had been at an airport probably a lot like this one, but she’d only come up to his waist back then, not that she could remember it very well.)

evey held on for a few moments more before she decided she needed to take a good look at jaebum. try as the technology companies might, a video call would never do real life justice. she let go, and for half a second let herself relish in the feeling of just being held, of being in the presence of someone she’d missed for so long. 

“long time no see,” she said, peals of exuberant laughter hiding at the edges of her words. it really had been six years too long.

there were more quiet moments now than ryong had gotten used to. maybe there were ever more quiet moments than there ever had been in her whole life. (okay, looking back on it, probably not, but this definitely came pretty close.) 

and it wasn’t for a lack of trying on her part, either. for the most part it had come down to new people who were slightly more intimidating than she’d ever admit, and thus, a lack of an audience. 

but at the present moment she felt the distinct need to let out some pent-up energy, loosen her tongue a little. she had the time, she just needed to find someone. ryong became aware that she wasn’t particularly familiar with any of the people around her, but that just meant she’d have to meet someone new. not hard to do, especially around complete strangers. quite a few of them looked like people she didn’t want anything to do with - the phrase ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’ doesn’t tend to apply to teenagers, she’s found - so she watches for a few minutes to determine the best candidate.

ah, he would do. a little on the short side, brown hair, and thoroughly inoffensive-looking. he was either the biggest asshole in the room or her saving grace. she took a few long steps to approach him with a smile and outstretched hand. “hey there! i’m ryong, or you can call me evey if you can say it right. how are you?”

aaah time for a little intro i guess! i’m ara (they/them, cst) and i’m super excited to be here! everyone has been really great so far and i can’t wait to really get into things! i don’t have a plots page or anything set up yet because i’m messy but if you wanna brainstorm something send an im my way or like this and i’ll get in touch!! also apologies beforehand if i sound too enthusiastic or not enthusiastic enough or anything else weird - i’m awful at talking, even on the internet. this took me way longer than it should have

anyway here’s a bit about ryong under the cut!!

ryong (or evey) is jaebum’s little sister from the us!!

now ur probably... wait a second doyoung is a dude and u just said sister.. thats right pal ryong is a transgirl! (warning: im not trans just agender so if you are trans and feel that there’s some way i could improve the way i write ryong, please tell me!)

very loud and very talkative, can talk about anything to anyone and will give her honest opinion

but generally does better in smaller groups than larger ones

plays baseball (the pitcher) and is generally pretty athletic (very tall)

speaks english better than korean for sure and is a huge lotr fan. also loves world history

75% of her thoughts are self-analysis in a sort of conceited way but also not really

doesn’t experience much dysphoria but acts like she doesn’t have to deal with any at all and wants to grow her hair out but it seems like a lot of work

she acknowledges most of her problems but doesn’t talk about them because she feels like she has to be strong and never show emotional weakness Ever so she gives off the impression that she’s pretty emotionally stable for a sixteen year old

has a temper... insert dragon metaphor here

kind of simple minded, esp towards other people tbh... 

yeah ryong is just very loud and friendly and confident and trying to live her life while shes at sunhwa!!

redirect any other questions about ryong/evey to an im to me and i’ll answer asap!! also i usually use evey when she’s speaking in english and ryong when in korean jysk!
