appearance » 
Chronic Face (CBF) is a serious condition that affects approximately 90% of the Wu family, including siblings Yifan and Yifei. There is currently no known cure. Symptoms seem to appear when patient is unimpressed, disinterested, unsatisfied, or in a state of disbelief, but statistics show that CBF is most apparent when patient is expressionless. At this point, this condition is called Chronic Resting Face (CRBF). Patient Yifei has a mild case of CBF, but a rather severe case of CRBF. When happy, her smile seems to have the potential to make starving children full and dead flowers bloom again, but her CBF can only be described as terrifying. Her long straight black hair and pale skin also don't seem to be helping her situation. Fortunately, her petite height of 164cm makes her less intimidating. The same cannot be said for her brother. Since height was recorded, weight should be mentioned as well: 50kg. Patient showed signs of CBF when I asked for the data. I am slightly worried for my safety.
~ Doctor Zhang Yixing (Date: Apr. 10/2015)

 

style » 
Yifei dresses quite femininly and very simply. She enjoys wearing neutral colours and pretty dresses, but still with spandex shorts underneath in case she needs to kick someone's that day. Despite her choice of wardrobe, she still prefers sandals, flats and booties over stilettos with more than 5 inches of heels.

plotline » Pastry Chef (Backup: Security Asst. Leader)

Description » The Pastry Chef. Makes up one half of Hell's Kitchen and has a knack for the sweet, the creamy, and the sinfully delicious (c whut I did thar hehe), but don't be fooled oh young one. The one who created your beautiful cute fluffy blueberry cheesecake is actually a blunt and sarcastic woman who's chronic face is so real it looks like she could skin you alive if you so much as looked at her the wrong way. It doesn't help that she works with satansoo. At the one place in the hotel that carries sharp knives. And meat cleavers. And blowtorches. Unless you are a cutie pie with the name Park Chanyeol, you should probably seek better life insurance deals. Yifei recommends the deal with satansoo. Order in the next 5 minutes and receive 30% off.

Traits » 

( + ) Perfectionist, reliable, hardworking, responsible

( -- ) Sarcastic, stubborn, potty-mouthed, rowdy

personality » 
When Yifei was born, she came out smiling. The doctors had cooed over her and called her an angel, but had to pinch her feet two seconds later to make sure her lungs worked. Turns out they had provoked the baby with the strongest lungs in the world because not even five milliseconds later, baby Yifei was screaming so loud the expecting mother in the room next door thought it was the hospital's fire alarm, causing her to freak out and go into premature labour. Twenty two years later and Yifei is still the same loud, stubborn, and potty-mouthed girl that will retaliate and karate-chop yo with two hands if you don't listen to what she says ("You can take one cupcake, Baekh- I SAID ONE!!!!"). This is why human beings have evolved to have two cheeks for butts now - because every fetus that starts developing in a mother's womb biologically knows the moment he/she is conceived that if the doesn't split now, it's going to be split later by a girl named Wu Yifei sometime in their life and that's going to hurt. So the says, "we should split now to lessen the damage".

Despite her rowdy tendencies to solve problems by both yelling and karate-chopping (she never actually took a single karate class in her life, but the television can be very educational and Yifan's makes good practice when he refuses to wake up in the mornings), Yifei grew up to be quite the hardworking individual, especially when it comes to baking. Every pastry that comes out of the oven must be perfection, and if it's not, it's going straight into the trash can no matter how much anyone begs to be fed the bad pastries (The hotel staff are sad as they surround the trash can in the kitchen and stare at the fallen cupcakes). Unfortunately, she's also good at baking and she knows it, just like her brother who's hot and he knows it. It must be a Wu thing - to be overly confident about their own talents and features. Still, Yifei has not hit the Jongdae-level of self-confident yet. Though she boasts about her own talents (see her interview with Mama $$$uho below), she accepts (constructive) criticism and is constantly seeking to improve herself. Yifei is responsible when it comes to admitting to her own mistakes and despite the lies that Yifan spreads about her to their mom ("Mom, Yifei ate the entire chocolate cake my friends bought me!! What the hell! It wasn't even her's! Come to Seoul and kick her!"), she does know when enough is enough and what's appropriate and what's not. That doesn't mean she doesn't like to cause trouble when she can though, especially if your name starts with Lu and ends with Han. It's not very difficult to get along with Yifei and if she takes the time out of her lunch break to come and bother you, prank you, or karate chop your even though you did nothing, it means she likes you. Not in that way though, psh. Not unless you're Korean, 185cm, born November 27th 1992 in the Eunpyeong District in South Korea, and are currently employed at Hotel El Dorado as a waiter ("Chanyeol~" A voice whispers from nowhere. It sounds a lot like Kyungsoo.)

 

trivias »

Likes
 — anything cooked by Chef Fluffy (Kyungsoo) because his food is worth more than five thousand michelin stars
 — the food channel on tv for obvious reasons
 — feeding Jihye and Minseok because no matter what Yifei gives them, she always gets an enthusiastic response
 — China, because China is home, and she's starting to miss it after being in South Korea for so long
 — kicking , especially Luhan's
 — when Chanyeol comes looking for her like a little lost puppy because he craves something sweet, and it's totally not like Yifei has the most obvious crush on the guy or anything

 

Dislikes

 — listening to Baekhyun talk because his mouth runs five hundred miles a minute
 — seeing hotel guests swoon over her brother because ew, Yifan is gross
 — early work shifts or having to arrive earlier than dawn to oversee the arrival of ingredient shipments because Yifei is definitely not a morning person. If you wake up earlier than dawn willingly, you are not human

 — vegetables, especially when Junmyeon forces her to eat them (Junmyeon: "Are you five? Stop picking out the carrots!")

 

Habits 
— picking out the vegetables from her food
— sticking her head outside the kitchen doors to take peeks at Chanyeol because goddammit, girls better not be flirting with him

 

Hobbies

 — taking Yifan's non-work shoes from his locker and hiding it because Yifan and Yifei are siblings and it's their job to give each other
 — taking a dip in the pool after closing hours because it helps her relax after a long day of threatening her co-workers

 

Random facts

 — possesses blood type AB
 — owns a small potted cactus named Wang Lee Hom. Yes, that Wang Lee Hom.
 — never went to culinary school but was hired due to her brother's connections as well as her exceptionally refined taste palette and kitchen professionalism approved by Chef Do Kyungsoo himself
 
— is trying to save enough money for culinary school one day. Every penny made at HED is put into her saving's account
 — the hotel's kitchen is often referred to as "Hell's Kitchen" among the staff members since both satan and hades seem to be employed there
 — people tend to try and avoid Yifei's bad side because she can and will curse you out in three different languages, a regional dialect, body language, and also through the art of food poisoning

 

The History that i make.

background » Baby Yifan only lived for 362 days before his mother was horribly diagnosed with a terrible condition. Something was growing inside of his beloved mama, and it was slowly getting bigger and bigger. He couldn't understand what was happening. What was it? Nobody would tell him. Yifan got his answer 9 months later. His father called it... his little sister. She was ugly as hell when his father first let him have a peek at the little monster. She was all wrinkly and purple, but when she grew up a little bit and learned to crawl and follow after him, he guessed she was sort of cute. Together, the family of 4 lived in Guangzhou, China, in a relatively small but cozy house until they moved to Vancouver, Canada when Yifei was 8 and Yifan was 10 in hopes of their father finding better job opportunities.

While in Canada, their mother stayed home while their father went to look for work. During this period, their mother did a lot of baking because life as a housewife was terribly boring. This is probably where Yifei first picked up after their mother and her love for pastries. Yifan on the other hand, spent his time shooting hoops at the court when the two weren't in school. They stayed in Canada for 5 years before the family moved back to Guangzhou, their father having deemed Canada no better than Guangzhou at job opportunities. Eventually, their father found a job in Hong Kong, which was close to their home anyway, and all was good.

Another 3 years later, the Wu family had just enough money to send Yifan to university to which he moved to Seoul, South Korea alone to learn about hotel management. After wasting thousands of dollars on Yifan's education though, they couldn't afford for Yifei to go when it was her turn, but she'd already accepted that fact long ago. However, after graduating high school, she herself followed her big brother to Seoul because their parents were worried he'd have a heart attack while alone in his cheap apartment after living only on instant noodles for 2 years. Despite their parents staying in Guangzhou while their kids lived in South Korea now, they all remained close and connected, the two often calling back home to complain to their mother about each other.

Once Yifan graduated, he managed to find an entry-level job as a  porter at Hotel El Dorado to help build his resume, helping his little sister find her own job at the same hotel a little while afterwards. They both currently reside in a one-bedroom apartment in which Yifei has taken over the master bedroom and Yifan sort of just lives on a couch in a corner of the living room. They both commute to work, which is about half an hour by bus because there ain't no way the two of them can afford to live in Gangnam.

 

family  

» Wu Yifan | Brother | 24 | International lost child, direction-senseless, can charm and sweet-talk his way out of anything | Yifan and Yifei are typical siblings who both love and hate each other with equal passion. They care about each other but show it in very violent ways that sometimes cause hotel guests to wonder if the two are actually ex-husband and ex-wife who happen to be employed at the same hotel. If they pass each other in the halls, they'll casually call each other ugly as a greeting.

 

friends 
 

» Do Kyungsoo | Friend/Co-worker | 21 | bipolar, fluffy!!, slave-driver | Besides making good food in the kitchen, evil plans are made there too. They are each other's partner-in-crime and if there's anyone Yifei can count on to assist her in beating up Luhan and/or Yifan one day and making it look like an accident, it's Kyungsoo. Although they're each other's workplace bffs, they still argue over one thing: Kyungsoo's inability to understand why Yifei has a crush on creepyeol out of all seven billion people who live in this world.



» Kim Junmyeon | Sugar Daddy/Boss | 23 | workaholic, pushover | Wu Yifei refuses to up to anyone unless your name is Kim Junmyeon, or as Yifei calls him, Kim Junmoney. He can tell very clearly when Yifei wants something because she'll start baking him his favourite desserts and personally delivering them to his office, even coming back to collect the plate and cutlery. She won't stop until he finally caves, sighing before asking what it is she wants this time. Usually her requests are nothing big, just a few dollars for a robot spider to freak Yifan out or permission to access the supply closet so she can get bedsheets to ghost-prank Luhan. Junmyeon gives into her every time because he's a pushover like that. Sometimes he'll ask himself if he hired an employee or if he hired himself a five-year old daughter.



» Jeon Jihye | Friend/Co-worker | Age 22 | Jihye comes around to the kitchen so often Yifei sees her more often than she sees her own brother, not that she wants to see Yifan's ugly face (Yifei's words, not mine) anyways. Besides feeding Jihye and wrestling each other for ownership over the new batch of cupcakes, Jihye is the one Yifei mostly goes running to, especially if it involves Chanyeol because nobody else will listen to her squeal/cry/wail without calling her tomato face Y_Y



» Lu Han | Frenemy/Co-worker | 25 | childish, self-confidence is through the roof | Luhan is Yifei's brother from another mother because she tortures him as much as she tortures Yifan. If you hear screaming in the souvenir shop, it's probably because Yifei went to purposely argue with Luhan and call him girly, and if you hear yelling in the kitchen, it's probably because Luhan has gone to invade Yifei's holy kitchen space with his dirty hands while he cackles and ducks to avoid a swinging meat cleaver.

Interaction » Creepyeol and Hades are in a constant struggle of push and pull. Everyone in the entire hotel including the guests know that the pastry chef in the kitchen has a massive schoolgirl crush on the handsome waiter, even Chanyeol himself, but due to Yifei's stubborn personality that must make everything more complicated than it has to be, she constantly rejects Chanyeol's romantic advances. Yifei is impossible to embarass, but it seems when it comes to Chanyeol, anything he does has her freaking out and turning red like a cherry tomato. Wu Yifei yells and glares and threatens but Wu Yifei just doesn't... she just doesn't do... *whispers* romance (insert image of Wu Yifei's horrified face here). Chanyeol on the other hand, knows just how much Yifei likes him, and it puts a skip in his step every morning. Despite his romantic advances being constantly rejected, the happy virus doesn't get disheartened because he chalks it up to her just being shy, which is probably more true than the other rumours floating around, like the one where people say she can't love because her heart is being occupied by Hades down in the Underworld.

 

love story » The first time Yifei laid eyes on Chanyeol, it was on her way to do an interview with Manager Kim. They had passed the restaurant on the way there, and Yifei swears she's never seen a cuter guy. Conversely, the first time Chanyeol saw Yifei, it was on her first day of work when he came into the kitchen to pick up orders for hotel guests. They'd froze at the sight of each other. Nonetheless, Chanyeol, in his usual happpy mood introduced himself and then went on with his day. Back then, Yifei hadn't thought of him as anything other than a cute guy, so she used to , make fun of him for his creepy smile and his cute elf ears, and generally do all the things she can't do nowadays without developing a tomato face. It was when he started staying with her after the restaurant's closing hours that her tomato face became a problem.

More often than not, Yifei used to stay behind in the kitchen after restaurant hours to experiment with different dessert recipes to put on the menu. Three weeks into her new job, Chanyeol started staying behind too. He'd sit on a stool in front of her work station and just watch her work, and he'd laugh through all her sarcastic comments telling him he really had no life if he thought it was fun to watch her whip eggs. Nonetheless, every 2 minutes, he'd get a spoonful of something new shoved against his lips for him to try. Needless to say, Chanyeol totally gained weight. He also developed the habit of falling asleep on her worktable, probably due to the increased amount of sugar intake that made him drowsy. To say the happy virus was cute now would be a ridiculous understatement, because if Yifei's mother saw her tough daughter now, trying not to self-combust at the sight of a sleeping boy, she'd ask Yifan if his sister somehow happened to be on drugs that she didn't know about. Wu Yifei does not squeal, but apparently, Park Chanyeol makes the impossible happen.

Yifei's attitude flipped 180 degrees however, when Kyungsoo made an off-hand comment one day about how she and Chanyeol had better not be making out on his work table when he's not there. Yifei's jaw had hit the ground, and only closed when Chanyeol picked it up off the floor after coming into the kitchen to pick up an order. She had stuttered for a long time, her face finally turning tomato red for the first time of many, and she'd been so speechless and flushed that she had to run out of the room and find her brother somewhere on the many floors of the hotel so she could wail and shake him back and forth violently as many times as she wanted to while screaming "IT'S NOT TRUE!!!!" at the top of her lungs even though he had absolutely no idea what the hell was even going on.

Yifei can no longer look Chanyeol in the eye and even though she knows at the back of her mind that Kyungsoo was right and that she totally has a crush on Chanyeol, she denies everything. She will admit to secretly being Hades before she admits to liking him.

(I think it'd be cute if in the end, the hotel staff all get so frustrated at Yifei and her denial that they plan this elaborate scheme to get Yifei to think it's the last day she'll ever see Chanyeol again or something ridiculous like that so she can stop being in self-denial and finally admit to her feelings :D)

 

ONE-ON-ONE WITH MANAGER KIM.

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO EL DORADO AS YOUR WORKING PLACE? 
» Yifei: "Because Yifan told me you already hired me after eating my strawberry shortcake sample last week. He also told me you the plate clean and that we're only doing this interview because it's standard protocol *crosses arms*. El Dorado was the only place that would hire me anyway without a dumb certificate from culinary school. But honestly, who needs a piece of paper that says I can cook anyway?? So friggin' stupid."
» Junmyeon: "Wait, so why did you ask me to go to the bank with you to open a savings account last week? I thought you were trying to save up for culinary school...."
» Yifei"....."
» Junmyeon: "....."

» Yifei"....."

 

What can you contribute after getting accepted? 
» My pastries, obviously. You and I both know no one in this hotel can come up with a decent dessert menu. Once I get my baking in the kitchen, I can take people to Paris and back with one French macaron. Cross my heart and hope to- wait, why the hell are you laughing? You think I'm joking?? YIFAN!! PREHEAT THE GODDAMN OVEN TO THREE HUNDRED DEGREES FAHRENHEIT, STAT.

 

Who do you think will you work well with? and not work well with?
» Hmmm... I think I'd work best with Kyungsoo. He has really refined taste buds being a chef himself so I'm pretty sure he could help me improve my recipes. I don't think I'd work well with that guy at the front desk though, ugh. What'd you say his name was again? Baekhyun? I think I can still hear him talking from this room! *Shoves cheek and ear against Joonmyun's office door* Oh my god, I totally can! What the- How the hell do guests sleep at night??

A RANDOM QUESTION, WHO'S THE MOST HANDSOME FOR YOU AMONG US TWELVE?
» If I had to pick, I'd pick that cute waiter we passed by on the way here. Wait, where are you going? You bETTER NOT BE GOING TO TELL HIM I SAID THAT, SIT YOUR DOWN, KIM.

ANOTHER RANDOM QUESTION, KAI OR SEHUN? OKAY... OR JONGDAE?
» Kim Jongdae, wait that sounds familiar. That's the entertainer here , right?? Did you hear him belting that note when we passed the theatre?? You had to have, you hired him! DAMN, SON. Introduce me to him, please please please please please!

LAST, TYPE YOUR DESIRED USERNAME.
