hi all sorry for disappearing for a bit! i’ve been very busy with ooc stuff and have only had time to update the main. i’ll be messaging back soon hopefully, thank you all for your patience!
youngchul is running a little behind schedule today. it’s not the biggest deal in the world, but youngchul craves order. when everything falls into its usual syncopated rhythm youngchul can be at ease. but just one little misstep in his day throws off his entire balance. first he had overslept, which meant he had to speak to is ta after his third class to catch up on the notes he missed and apologize for his absence. then he had a... let’s say important meeting delayed due to the tardiness of the supplier he intended to meet. so now instead of getting to slip back to his dorm and enjoy his lunch period in solitude, youngchul is forced to remain on campus and solve his hunger problems. so, the dining hall it is.
only the dining hall is packed to the brim with fellow students, and the noise is so loud it causes his temples to throb. if the weather had been nicer he’d take his tray of food out into the quad to sit under a tree somewhere by his lonesome. but there’s still a chill that clings to the air and the clouds are fat and dark with the promise of rain, so inside youngchul must remain. his eyes scan the room, desperate for an empty table. he doesn’t find one, but a seat. right across from someone he’d particularly wish not to strike up a conversation with. but youngchul already feel’s dizzy from hunger so he sighs and accepts his fate, marching right up to lei zhao.
“hey,” he greets, mouth twisting into a firm little smile so forced his jaw hurts. “can i sit here?”
inmyeonjo dorms, the ji/byun room // featuring; ( @yntaek. )
it wouldn’t be smart to conduct any illegal behavior under the school’s roof. not only is it reckless, but it’s just asking to be caught. youngchul doesn’t have any particular impulse to face the wrath of his dorm resident assistant nor the law, so he keeps his side business to a location that can’t be tied to him. but youngchul is a potion brewing major, so there are some allowances he can make, with the cover of his major. there are bowls of water scattered all around the windowsill to varying degrees of fullness and exposure to the moon, and there’s a line of drying herbs hanging above his bed. ingredients he can pass off as schoolwork, as all are innocent enough.
so youngchul keeps various ingredients around their room, and he knows sometimes it can be inconvenient. pollen is never fun indoors and some of his plants tend to get a little grope-happy when the sun reaches the highest point in the sky. he understands it’s not the most ideal situation to live in, so youngchul happily compensates intaek with fair prices with the dealers, or freebies here and there. they’ve found a good balance, so youngchul expects some respect for what he does. intaek isn’t ignorant, even if he doesn’t participate. all youngchul asks for is some understanding.
“really.” youngchul’s flat voice does not reflect his rising temper, but intaek’s lived with him long enough he’s sure the twitch of his jaw is obvious. “that cup had been sitting there for three moon cycles. you really chose that one to knock over?” the carpet is wet under youngchul’s feet and it’s kind of gross feeling the dampness reach his socks but he’s too annoyed to do anything about it right now. he just stares at the overturned silver chalice on the floor. what a waste.
whew now that acceptance posts are all up i can finally get on my intro! this is your second-in-command admin b, ready for action! youngchul’s pages are up but they’re ugly so i’m just gonna give a little background and some plot ideas under the cut. feel free to give this a like and i’ll come flying into your dm’s!
about
ji youngchul: inmyeonjo, second year, potion brewing major (kang yeosang fc)
the ji family have been a family of bankers for a decade! they deal mostly with other pureblood family fortunes and are of course your typical snooty old money family
youngchul has a sister who is eight years his senior and she’s all set to take over the family business, which is great for her
youngchul is forced to the wayside, mostly because he does not care at all about banking or his family or his life back in korea, really
went to primary school in beauxbaton and fell in love with life over there! it was his escape from feeling trapped and stifled at home
youngchul is also a good little genius boy
has decided to forge his own path after graduating beauxbaton so he enrolled at yeongji for potion making and promised his dad he’d do something for the company after graduating (lies ofc)
sniffed out the drug ring within his first week and has been brewing illegal substances for them sense
not really into drugs himself but it’s easy money he can hide from his parents so he can run away back to france once he graduates and cut himself off from his family
has.... questionable morals and is pretty cold and introverted but definitely has his soft spots as well! you just have to find them, or speak in a french accent idk
also fun fact he has an owl named baptiste if that is important, it feels important
plots
inmyeonjo babies, youngchul feels comforted being around other intellectual students
fellow beauxbaton former students! people who have seen him at his happiest, and are now seeing a more reserved youngchul (please he just wants someone to call him rene again that’s all he wants)
people who know his darker side! aka people with connection to the drug ring and know him as the chemist (can be blackmail or understanding)
pureblood family friends - their families have been connected for years, so they’ve seen each other at all of the social gatherings
bonus points if their families have been not-so-subtly hinting for years they should get married to merge their households or whatever
someone loud and bubbly that he avoids like the plague, please give him some peace (but like, in a fun way, tom and jerry)
oops we got too handsy during an orientation party freshman year and now its awkward to look at each other around campus (second years)
other potion brewing majors he feels in competition with bc he wants to be the best in the program, it’s a pride thing
we can brainstorm!! i always love just looking at muses and building a relationship based off of their backstories and such
