# there is a reason why seonhye is never found around her family, and the reason is simple, and at the same time, not quite. sharing a breath with the most treasured child of the yi family came with no glory, nor gore. she wasn’t the rejected daughter, she wasn’t the forgotten, she wasn’t the crestfallen – she was simply a collateral addition. she was, because he is – privileged (above the marks for a regal), dotted on (above the marks for a princess yi), seen (above the marks as long as with her brother), only wanted, when in a pair, like heirloom pearl earrings that lose meaning once apart.
# what was she, then, if not half of a whole? would the meaning of her existence be forever tethered to his, like jacob latching to his brother’s heel, to not be forgotten in their mother’s womb? it was the life in the in-between that led her to long for more. she sought to be more – be someone outside the dyad, be with those who she believed to understand where she stands; but instead of being swept by the hurricane that was her sisters, she found herself standing in its eye. it was a different form of loneliness. a stillness coming from the water in which you drop a penny after a wish, depositing her hopes in the hands of those who were too busy to hold them tight enough – seonhye then realized that she could not be fed from the same spoon as they were, something they already knew, and kept it as a secret.
# yet, mixed with blue blood ran its course the venom that only starved words could produce. she could no longer see eye to eye with the one who shared part of her soul. deliberately, she did not want to partake in the affairs that came tied with her bloodline, so, breaking from her own pattern of infinite spirals in search of a place to call home, a crowd to call family, she went on an ever-seeking mission. find herself. and for that, she had to crawl out of the middle spaces in which she inhabited for so long, and get sunburned by a thousand different sunrises.
# how is it to love someone elusive? impossible, heartaching, forgettable. so that’s why she never stayed, never for too long – nerve to be reminded, never to be missed. seonhye had in her baggage the muffled optimism of a girl who once wanted to be loved, turned into a woman who now just wants to be free. in a crowd, there were no expectations – she was simply the stranger scribbling on the footnotes of poetry books, the one night stand whose phone number was purposely written wrong, the midnight client in a tattoo parlor asking for the impossible. in the world of nobodies, she was just a body – and she found solace, at last, to live in her own artificial reality. but not for too long.

+ sabrina is very layered – she ranges from extremely aloof, to the biggest drama queen you will ever seen. it all depends on the situation. she is, though, an escapist through and through – from picking up the phone to taking responsibility for her actions, you won’t see her doing either very often.
+ she also is inconstant to the extreme – which deems her very unreliable and unpredictable. unconsciously, she realized she gets lots of attention by simply “not caring” and not acting like the norm – and brother does she love attention. (but pretend she doesn’t, she is the cool rebel girl)
+ likes to do the opposite of what she is told, likes to pretend she forgot names, dates, places, encounters. everything is too fickle for her ever so busy mind. (has a very very reliable memory, everyone knows that.)
+ if you call her out on that she will literally show that she is, indeed, a spoiled princess.
+ had the privilege to simply live and do ‘whatever’ she wants, even though she will never say it was a privilege and will engage in a fight if you tell her about it.
+ has The Social Skills, only put to use when she wants.
+ an amazing liar.
+ doesn’t really enjoy being flocked together with her family, even though it is inevitable. mainly because she still doesn’t feel like she has a place in there, unless she falls back into living in san’s shadow or abiding to what her father has in store for her.
+ is very set in just being her own unapologetic self, mainly to mask how insecure and how inferior she feels compared to the others.
tl;dr ╼╼ the wild card simply because she feels completely like a misfit in her won family. just wants attention and to belong.
