POUR UP A DRINK, ELIZA KIM!
ELIZA KIM
ELIZA KIM
if downing banana milk from a shot glass seems too absurd, talk to your doctor because eliza kim may not be right for you. meet all 163 cm of your favorite cute korean christian girl out searching for her cute korean christian boyfriend — though after a year and a half she’s about ready to call it quits. but no worries. considering the amount of time she spends staying up playing league instead of working on her hack for humanity project or chatting with her sorority sisters over milk tea at serendipitea, it’s not like she has much time for the dating market anyway. it’s hard to find anyone with a sweeter smile and an even brighter disposition, and there’s ample evidence towards ucm’s claim that eliza kim is a sun child radiating love, happiness, and all things smol through and through. elijah will retort that it’s hard to see eliza mad, and “if you do like damn.. did you kick a puppy?” but don’t be eased by her kindheartedness, because it’s deceptively easy to take people like eliza for granted. behind that smile is an ugly streak of possessiveness and problem aversion that simmers grudges with eyebrow-raising intensity. because really, everyone babies her, but not many get to know her.

HEAD
NICKNAMES
-GOAT, 벚꽃 : djeon's alter ego / it's a compromise, created as a result of the fickle nature of not being able to give your name (trust, daniel tried like 18 different methods) and a first impression that hinged on how cute she seemed (way too cute, and innocent and definitely not my type @ universe what the , daniel will sniff to his frineds). it’s so daniel, of course it is, to make a konglish joke that doesn’t seem like an insult but also totally seems like one, and soon it's a "yo -goat" she finds scrawled on her arm in lieu of trying (and failing) to get her real name. “it’s nice in korean okay.“ daniel just groans as elijah and landon absolutely fall over themselves, snorting as they say, "yeah but y'all are ka's it's not like you'll ever write it in korean, seeing as your handwriting is ." landon wipes a stray tear.
COVER PHOTO, 앞화면 : every club on campus / when you're a college design student who has even an idea on how to use photoshop, your classmates swarm like bees asking favors for club advertisements (see '17 a la hongbin lee from the cricket club who she talked to a total of once). in a sense, she's made a name for herself for (a) not saying no, and (b) having great design, so she's really not too surprised whenever someone comes asking.
LYRA, 라이라 : mc greeks / "we're the constellations lineage," sarah laughs as she pulls eliza into a headlock, "so you'll probably end up with something like that too. who knows?" other than being on the back of her line jacket (and pretty much every single akdphi thing she owns) and daniel using it as a joke ("yo lyra can you hold my wallet" "omg" "hahahahaha"), there aren't many situations where she'll hear lyra outside the greek community, though

NATIONALITY korean-american
LANGUAGES
ENGLISH : native fluency / while her parents – first-gen to a t – only spoke korean to her at home, eliza grew up singing the abc's in english and watching american movies (until the fifth grade when she found kpop, but that's another story). while she's quick to switch between english and korean when the situation calls for it, she'd much rather complain about her code not working at 5 am in english — more profanities to choose from.
KOREAN : subtitle fluency / even if she didn't grow up in a pre-dominantly asian population ("do you mean the whitest community in socal?" hazel will raise an eyebrow), she learned korean from home and friends, though it's painfully obvious from her accent that she's from america. there's a ton of vocab that she doesn't know, and when she's too lazy to ask grace about what a particular word is in korean she'll just mix what she knows into konglish.
SPANISH : taco fluency / it's lowkey questionable but eliza will embarrassingly admit that she chose to take spanish in high school because she wanted to understand the taco menu at the mexican food truck down the block. while she basically forgot how to say anything of actual importance, she can order for herself and daniel with a shameless confidence that has daniel stifling a laugh as they settle into a corner booth at 2 am.
BODY
FACECLAIM choi arin of oh my girl
BACKUP my
FASHION
KALE LAWN, 2:34 PM : "do you think she's straight from korea? international student? like she dresses like a total fob." daniel raises an eyebrow as ryan scoops at his chipotle burrito bowl, spying a small asian girl hurrying across the grass, evidently late for class in a flurry of untied adidas superstars and a half-open pastel herschel backpack.
"um, i don't know man. is it really that important?" ryan just shrugs, mouth full of mexican food as he shoots an i'm bored, indulge me look. "well, maybe? she's got the whole tennis skirt and pastel t-shirt going on. i see that in korea whenever i go there." daniel answers back uncertainly.
MALIBU LANE, 9:54 PM : they're stopping by the paphi house to hang out on the rooftop when he snickers. "you sure you don't want to steal another hoodie from me?" daniel laughs as eliza punches his arm weakly, playing with a hole in her ripped boyfriend jeans. "in my defense, you seem to love stealing my clothes."
"your hoodies are comfortable okay" eliza scrunches her nose as she fixes her white lace crop top and cream cardigan, pushing her loose hair out of her eyes as she waits for daniel to finish un-packing his backpack. daniel beams as he takes out a fruit container and milkis. "well, you look good in anything."
TLDR ; with a twirl of her floral skirt and braided hair, eliza looks every bit like she just stepped off a plane straight from korea. she’s all for pastels and white adidas superstars and an all-around “yeoja yeoja” look, and while hazel says it’s probably to make up for the fact that she grew up in the “most white town” so she couldn’t “embrace her korean side,” there’s no doubt that eliza looks every bit like your typical korean college student. “no, you straight up look fob.” daniel will say with a deadpan expression before breaking into a fit of laughter as eliza pretends to drop kick him. “chill, it works on you though. you look cute.” eliza will roll her eyes but break into a beam regardless. she may be part of the most abg group on campus, but she could care less about bodysuits and fishnets in lieu of a comfy pink hoodie.
pale blue ripped boyfriend jeans, oversized daniel's hoodies, white tennis skirts, lace tank tops, fluffy cardigans, lace-up sandals, adidas superstars, high-waisted jean shorts, black leggings

TLDR ; isfj / sun child / bubbly with a touch of overwhelmingly bright / makes friends easily / smol bean / naturally nice and outgoing / kinda flighty with anything that's not major-related / procrastinates but can be trusted to get her done on time / fiercely loyal to her circle / lowkey unexpectedly but unintentionally savage ("so i was thinking," elijah starts, to which eliza thoughtlessly "oh must be hard") / goes with the flow and has a hard time saying no / down to do anything ("except for drugs, , and dying" "grACE") / avoids meeting her problems head on and more likely to pretend something never happened to avoid it altogether / a touch of selfishness / she takes things pretty personally and holds grudges pretty hard but won't talk stuff out and just let it simmer / a lot of friends but few close ones / hides her insecurities behind a bright attitude / doesn't stand up for herself / overloads herself by repressing her feelings / "unlucky childhood friend" trope in that she's cute and all but she usually gets dongsaeng-zoned by anyone she actually likes / loves getting coddled
tldr from jenn : i saw her as the type of girl that's super bubbly and like, likes to make friends and is super sweet but her downfall is she has no spine whatsover aka u lol very sweet but doesn't like confrontation or making people feel bad so she just keeps a bunch of to herself in the sense that if she wants to eat salad but her sisters wanna go eat fries, she'll eat fries even tho she doesn't wanna? she's a *~*soft*~* sorority girl that we protecc
TRIVIA
MUSIC TASTE : she listens to majority korean music (a lot of kpop and a bit of upbeat khiphop always streams from her speakers) so don't ask her about the billboard top 100 because she probably doesn't know anything past havana and gucci gang, both courtesy your local frat party. she's probably heard most of the rap that's on the radio but she's not going to be able to tell you the name of the song or the artist ("lil something? panda? i don't know omg").

ALCOHOL TOLERANCE : her alcohol tolerance isn't bad, but the last time she got piss drunk she ended up with 15 pictures to untag off of facebook and spent freshman spring keeling over a lambda phi epsilon toilet while grace patted her back. she prefers sipping on an eeseul tok tok at byul bang or from hmart with her crew but a beer or one or two mixed drinks (99% orange juice, 1% smirnoff) will do if she's at an on-campus party. but really, all it takes to her up are about five shots of bacardi and she's a gone girl — and considering she's a greek neo, there's only too many situations where upperclassmen are egging her on to drink just another shot.
12:47 AM, BYUL BANG : it's a friday night midway into the semester, sik-k bumping on the speakers, when landon insists eliza takes another shot ("liz, you look far too sober" "oppa nooo"), a demand that's met with protests from the older girls sitting around the table, though from the gleam in their eyes it's fair to say they're much to drunk to actually do much about it. eliza is warily looking down at the shot of peach chamisul, knowing that she's already 7 soju shots in and she's probably going to die soon, when daniel takes the shot off the table and gives her a cheeky grin as she looks up at him in surprise, "heukgisa." he downs the shot to the round of cheers around the table and shouts of how eliza owes him a wish. she just laughs, slapping him on the shoulder. "guess i'm yours for the night!"
GAMING HABITS : she's a league of legends god (not really, she's a little better than average at best) and a lot of her time is wasted playing hack for humanity members or the stray kasa oppa at night, betting for fried chicken at byul bang or a hallabong juice gift set for hmart ("derek you're literally the only one who would ask for that like what" "let me bE sarah let me liVE MY LIFE"). she's gotten tilted plenty of times ("oppa whY ARE YOU SO BAD") but it's just a game, as derek likes to smugly remark as he wins yet another game from across campus. she ends up playing at work a lot because she doesn't have much else to do.
DRINK FAVES : her favorite drink is binggrae banana milk so it's not surprising to see her around campus sipping through a straw on a plastic container of banana milk or two. her dorm fridge has 6 packs ("are you getting ready for the apocalypse? when are you gonna even finish these all" "don't worry, by next month"). daniel doesn't even know when it starts happening but at some point he thoughtlessly starts grabbing one whenever he visits hmart like second nature, tossing it to her when he visits her at work — of course, anyone who knows of eliza's tastes has an absolute field day when they see a container of banana milk pressed into daniel's hands.
FACEBOOK : profile pictures over the years, scroll for descriptions
AYE BEE GEE SAUCE : the next time someone calls her an abg she will fight someone (bets on ryan koo or elijah han) because what!!!! just because she walks around campus with milk tea and an akdphi line jacket and likes kbbq!!!! not saying there's anything wrong with being called an abg, considering her whole sorority is full of them but eliza's pretty much the opposite of the typical girl you'd find at the akdphi national convention or any of the asian frats' parties. she doesn't have the look nor the right kind of confidence to pull it off. that doesn't stop the little s in her life from making a joke out it.
SOULMATE INFO
SITTING IN GRACE'S UNDER DORM, 11:17 PM
PLAYING ON LIZ'S SPEAKER: 처음부터 너와 나, BB4
"can i just say," grace calls through the open door from the communal kitchen — perks of living across it — "that only you could convince me to do chick flick night on halloween" said girl walks in with a family size hot cheetos bag and two milkis cans under her armpit as she uses her body to close the door shut behind her.
eliza makes grabby hands at the cheetos from her position on top of eliza's crumbled sheets, the macbook's glow shedding light on the mirth gleaming in her eyes. "girl's night in is always a good idea, ma dear!" she laughs as grace jokingly mourns over all the cute boys i could've met tonight before settling in next to her best friend.
"no, no we're not watching hachi or toy story 3. i don't want to have to clean up the absolute puddle of snot and tears you make after sad movies." grace ignores eliza's mock-offended huff as she leans to fight over control of the laptop, trying to close the tabs as she deals with the tangle of arms and indignant shrieks. the compromise is high school musical 3 ("only because gabriella is such an in all the movies and like yes she finally leaves east high in the third one" "grace pleASE").
it's a little anticlimactic, eliza supposes, considering how she'd waited all of 18 years for this single moment of interpersonal connection. movies portray it like explosions of fireworks, like it's the single most dynamically defining moment of your life, while romance novels portray it like poetic reactivity, beautiful in its sprawling prose. but there are no sparks nor fanfare to the affair. it's just her and her best friend in on one of the wildest nights of the quarter — and a set of four crooked lines.
"why are you playing tic tac toe by yourself?"
"huh?" eliza distractedly looks up from the macbook screen — troy and gabriella had started a musical number in their treehouse and she needed utmost focus — as she sips on her milkis.
"like, what is that on your arm" grace vaguely waves towards eliza's left arm with her hot cheeto fingers, face stuffed with red as she snickers at eliza's stop spitting on me omg grace. "is that some new gang symbol elijah oppa thought up."
it's a little anticlimactic, eliza laughs breathlessly, in comparison to some of the world's greatest romances, but it's hers.
eliza lets out a soft gasp as she rubs at her forearm until the ivory skin turns pink, eyebrows knitting together as she whispers, "wait i-i didn't write this." grace stops chewing as she looks at her best friend in growing shock, hurriedly wiping her dirty fingers on a stray napkin before grabbing eliza's arm to examine it more closely.
"well then i'll be darned holy ing your soulmate is playing tic tac toe on halloween night." grace says, softer now as she breaks into a sweet little smile. "congratulations liz, i know how much you've romanticized over it. and the has finally made a move."
"does tic tac toe have game theory?" eliza squeaks nervously as she hurriedly searches around for a pen before grabbing one from grace's pencil holder, movie long forgotten. she pouts at grace's snort. "it's a valid question okay." she furrows her eyebrows as she shakily presses ink on skin and draws an x in the left bottom corner.
TLDR ; it goes something like this — two girls huddle together until the ending credits of their movie roll, watching with bated breath as one game turns into two which turns into three. when not an actual word is given from the other side, she decides to take the step and write in small, curly print a challenge. a boy on the other side of campus is drunk off his mind, bass ringing in his ears as he pulls at his costume, a basketball jersey, to relieve some sweat as he watches with mild interest as the lines he'd drawn spring to life. it's not until he wakes up the next morning, groaning from the hangover and the fact that his hookup last night had left wearing his favorite adidas hoodie, that he startles at the words carved on his skin.
while their first interaction is nothing short of interesting, if not a little awkward, eliza's expectation that she'd be constantly talking to her soulmate isn't an exact truth — because the truth is that by halfway through the school year, they're not exactly friends. it's almost inevitable, considering how different they are as people and what kind of interests they hold, but perhaps no one expected eliza of all people to have anything but a positive relationship with her soulmate, especially considering how much of a romanticist she is. they don’t talk as much this year, more used to writing short comments next to each other’s little self notes occasionally, but freshman year was an absolute mess with the two trying to outdo each other. now, their interactions are short, a little stilted, but eliza supposes that's the nature of having a college-aged boy as a soulmate. she doesn't doubt destiny, but she can't help but really question it when someone she seems to barely relate to is strung to be her other half.

ALPHA KAPPA DELTA PHI, INC.
philanthropy chair / grace had always wanted to rush an asian sorority, but eliza hadn’t thought it to even be a possibility until grace forces her to “at the very least come to rush. low pressure low commitment!” there’s not necessarily a stigma against greek life in the christian community (there definitely sort of is, eliza will huff as she walks into bible study with her line jacket on, jae giving her a knowing little grin as he strums at his guitar) but eliza is slightly apprehensive as she walks into rush, arm linked with grace’s. but while she’s at first put off by the sheer amount of blonde balayages and strappy crop tops, she melts into the group like she belongs, laughing over bad korean drama episodes and singing along to old school big bang at the top of her lungs. they’re her sisters through and through and she can’t see college life without them. eliza is still a neo so she’s obliged to attend all sorority events and be the face of any akdphi fundraiser (getting pied in the face on kale lawn “for cancer research!” isn’t really ideal), but she has to admit that it’s fun hanging out with the greeks, especially when elijah is more than happy to indulge her at any paphi event.

HACK FOR HUMANITY
external chair / staying up until 5 am every few days isn’t exactly her idea of the ideal college lifestyle, but as a sophomore she’s gotten so used to seeing the sunrise while trying to debug her code for the 53rd time (trust her, she’s already tried asking her ta for help but all derek has done is send a “lmAOAOAO GET REKT i’m sleeping i’m old miahn my young padawan” “it’s 8 pm oppa”) that she’s basically accepted her fate of crying over cs classes and perpetual lack of sleep. somewhere in his unhelpfulness in terms of academics, however, derek somehow ropes her into joining his coding club (“we’re better than the other ones because we actually help people. oh, also we provide free ramen once it hits like 3 am lol”) and she can’t say she’s even mad, considering how the small motley crew has become her disjointed family. when they’re not helping fix city infrastructure, eliza is versing one of the boys in league (“can we play overwatch” “no” “why” “because it’s 5 am and the sun is rising!” “that didn’t stop you last time” “....true”), and while she loves her sorority, there’s no doubt that the hack for humanity crew is fun to be around, especially when they all share the same cs struggles in the spare dorms 352 computer lab.

KOREAN-AMERICAN CAMPUS MISSIONS
member / when she asks elijah what the biggest campus christian ministry is, elijah waves her over to kcm — though they’re not an actual church (they all head to malibu presbyterian on sundays), kcm has made a name for itself as close-knit with the family dynamics to match (esther hyun is most definitely the overindulgent mom and jae park is the lazy dad) and eliza immediately sees that if she ever needs to reach out to anyone, kcm is an option. admittedly she doesn’t have a lot of time to attend all of their events, skipping a lot of group baking and movie nights, but she tries to go to friday night bible study (really tries. it’s hard when a lot of greek events are on friday nights and irene is staring you down telling you that you gotta go) and winter retreat (where else is she going to meet her cute korean christian boyfriend?) if anything. she’s still confused as to why elijah doesn’t come out as much anymore, rolling her eyes whenever he says something about how “i don’t choose the frat life, the frat life chooses me,” when he’s the one that was so adamant that she join as soon as she came to campus. not to say she regrets it though, when the people here are some of the sweetest, nicest people she knows she’ll still be connected with out of college.

IN THE LIFE OF ELIZA KIM
ON THE WAY TO DVP, 7:43 AM
PLAYING ON LIZ'S PHONE: ROCKET, SEVENTEEN
8 am design classes tuesdays and thursdays are nightmares, but somehow she's up by 7:30 — ignore the lack of makeup and worn out hoodie and leggings; she'll go back and change before lunch — grabbing an iced vanilla latte ("extra shot and less ice please!) from the starbucks down the street before she heads to class. if she falls asleep a few times during front end, it's really not her fault, considering half the 30-something person class falls asleep at least once. intro to astronomy is a little better, starting at 9 am and going for 1.5 hours. of course, the class isn't so much better for its start time but for the boy that slides into a seat next to her in the fourth row, without fail in a stussy or kith hoodie and with a -eating grin.
monday: intro astronomy, intro algorithms (quiz)
tuesday: intro front end design, intro algorithms
wednesday: intro astronomy
thursday: intro front end design, intro algorithms
friday: intro astronomy (quiz), intro front end design (studio)
CIRCLE TABLE WITH MILK TEA, 2:17 PM
PLAYING AT SERENDIPITEA: 봄 사랑 벚꽃 말고, HIGH4 & IU
if not in class or helping out with boothing for akdphi on kale lawn, she's at serendipitea, strawberry milk tea in hand as she plugs in her earphones into her mac and works through her homework or searches for internships. she's usually alone, but grace, sarah, or hazel occasionally join her, sipping on their boba as they nod to the soft kpop echoing through the small cafe.
once the sun starts to set she tries to stay away from malibu lane when she can because she's not as plugged into greek life as grace or her sisters are (and once you visit, you're 100% going to be roped into a game of beer pong or smoking with asian frat boys). rather, she's more likely to be seen at byul bang, playing korean drinking games and chatting over cheese buldak than chugging a handle at lambda phi epsilon.
OUTSIDE DVP'S BACK ENTRANCE, 8:32 PM
PLAYING ON DJEON'S PHONE: I'M GONNA BE THERE, LASH
on tuesdays and wednesdays she works at the dvp it desk from 9 pm to 2 am ("why do you let yourself suffer like this" "i need the extra money unnie!"), and when she's not helping frazzled freshmen connect to the building's wifi, she's absentmindedly scrolling through youtube or playing a round of league with a hack for humanity member (just don't tell her boss she's not totally immersed in her job). the pay's not great but it's something to do, and at some point she starts looking forward to working when daniel situates himself as a permanent fixture in the otherwise dreary computer lab, bringing chinese takeout (or occasionally thai "for that variety") and a terribly decent sense of humor to light up her 1 ams. she frets over whether he's wasting his time to which he insists that he has nothing better to do and that he gets a lot of work done when he's there. of course, they barely do anything but laugh at vine compilations and fight for the fortune cookie.
SOCIAL CIRCLE
SOCIAL NETWORK
  grace choi, 20 •••  best friend Active 1 hr ago university of california, malibu____________________________ "yo, are you down for chicken nuggets at 3 am tho" "why do you instigate me like dis"
meeting at the back of a 300 person intro chem class — “hey, did i miss anything?” “not sure, i just got here too!” “omg were we both casually just 20 minutes late” — friendly agreements to be homework buddies soon turn into hours of laughing over stupid youtube videos late into the night, problem sets forgotten under a scatter of open choco pies and banana milk.
grace is the one that eliza has no problem telling everything to, and despite the (loving) judging looks and (joking) scolding, grace is just as invested in their friendship and has no problem drop kicking daniel the moment he treats her baby wrong. if she slapped him a few times, no one’s wiser.
the thing about college is that it’s hard without a ride or die to live and laugh and complain and cry with, so eliza is a little more than grateful that grace has her back. a lot of people end up thinking they’re sisters at first glance because they’re just so similar, two small korean girls linking arms as they stroll down the quad in their matching, albeit different colored, adidas superstars. but unlike eliza, grace is more of a firework, fiery and blunt under her seemingly sweet disposition. it’s not uncommon to spot them at a boba shop or sitting on college green, whispering over kasa’s latest snapchat story or the intricacies of descartes' philosophicaltreatise (“what the is that range of topics” “we’re very flexible”).
|
 elijah han, 22 ••• fav paphi bro Active 4 hrs ago university of california, malibu____________________________ "lol did you find your cute korean christian boy yet" "canI you f off oppa"
when you grow up in thousand oaks, you don’t expect to know a lot of asian people, but elijah became the exception at the age of three, when her parents invited their college best friends over with their two children. while elijah’s little brother was far too young to even walk, elijah, age 5, was quick to grab eliza’s hand and run into the backyard, down to play even hopscotch (after they played with his yu-gi-oh cards, of course).
ending up in the same church community for their whole lives only contributed to their friendship, and when eliza got her letter of acceptance to uc malibu, elijah’s parents were quick to demand that elijah “better take care of her in college! feed her all the time and make sure to get her plenty of help if she needs it.”
mrs. han absolutely loves eliza, and much to elijah’s chagrin eliza will “tattle” on elijah’s lack of food offers whenever the families get together for a reunion. at school, though, elijah is pretty much her favorite paphi brother (not like there’s much competition, hazel will sniff) and despite eliza’s joking complaints to mrs. han he’ll be the first to venmo her money with a “i saw that starving snap story lmao go feed urself” or drop a latte off at the comp lab with a complaining “it’s so hard being such a good oppa,” the smile on his face giving away the lack of seriousness.
|
 hazel sohn, 21 ••• mom Active 17 hrs ago university of california, malibu____________________________ "so did you throw djeon away yet" "omg unnie plEASE" "it's a genuine question"
when you grow up in the same church community for almost all of your life, close to the point where hazel still took eliza out for boba and shopping every break she was back from college while eliza was still in high school, it comes as an utter shock to find out that small group leader hazel sohn is now very much less into leading bible study and more into taunting frat pledges to taking another shot of cheap vodka. that’s not to say their relationship falls apart. rather, eliza is more prone to stopping by hazel and ashley’s apartment whenever she can, basking in the (tough love) babying she receives from her two unnies as they insist she “eat something other than that ty dorm food like girl love yourself.” they study together, joke around together, and eliza can confidently say that hazel is probably her closest upperclassman figure in her life. hazel seems like she could care less, but she constantly has an eye out for her little underclassman, unkeen on letting anything suspicious pass under nose. that’s why daniel jeon is a bit of an eyesore with his too large ego and “hot in that ty douchebag tool” ways (“i’m quoting you on that ashley im” “ off you know i appreciate a good when i see one”), and seeing him follow eliza around like a lost puppy doesn’t make her the happiest camper.
|
 joel cho, 21 ••• campus crush Active 1 hr ago university of california, malibu____________________________ "hah you're so cute liz" [ruffles her hair] "but if you need anything tell me!""haHAA!"
the thing about joel is that he's something of a "friend's friend" (he is, in fact, sarah's close friend) and eliza doesn't know him well, though that doesn't stop her from having the fattest crush on him. he's cool, he's sweet, he's perfect— at least according to eliza — and she'll ignore all the other traits that show their lack of compatibility to instead love the idea of him.
|
 sarah jung, 21 ••• akdphi big Active 21 hrs ago university of california, malibu____________________________ "this ty lambda boy wanted your number but i said off he's too ugly for you" "omg"
when eliza initially steps into “macarons and sparkling mocktails with akdphi” under best friend duties for grace, she doesn’t expect to end up loving the girls there. sarah, especially, takes a liking to the cute little korean girl who bounded from one sister to the next, and if she had to fight to get eliza as her little then so be it.
fast forward a semester later and sarah is proud to call eliza her little protege, taking her to cute coffee shops in downtown malibu and not even blinking an eye when eliza shows up at her apartment to lay around doing nothing. eliza is the little sister she never had, and in turn eliza turns to sarah for pretty much everything (especially when it comes to boys).
sarah isn’t too keen on forcing her little into doing anything she doesn’t want to, so she’ll be the first to bite back at any of the senior paphi boys if they try to make her drink. while she may look like a typical senior sorority sister, sarah is extremely keen and will notice if you try to mess with eliza, even when she’s high off her mind in a crop top and shorts at a banger. even so, she’s constantly trying to set eliza up with a cute boy, “not a frat boy though. those are trash. i’m thinking more like, a nice dance major or something you know?”

 derek park, 22 ••• cs ta Active 2 hrs ago university of california, malibu____________________________ "lol did you solve part 3 yet it's due tonight" "......i actually hate you" "i'm hURT"
the thing about being in an intro linguistics class as a freshman is that it’s ridiculously easy to spot the upperclassmen — the intimidating twenty-somethings who skip class on the daily and look absolutely done with professor zhang’s monotony on day one.
that’s why it’s a surprise when derek park comes off as an absolute mess, somehow already two months behind by the fourth lecture from falling asleep in class and a giant beam on his face despite well, falling asleep in class. eliza takes pity on the poor junior when he looks utterly lost during quiz section, and derek and eliza become quick friends soon after that, studying (complaining) about phonetics as they munch on corn chips in a radius study room.
while derek was trash at linguistics, it seemed it was because his talent lied elsewhere, and eliza rolls her eyes when she walks into her intro to c++ lecture and derek princess waves from the ta chair. she’ll say it’s unfair that derek refuses to help her with debugging when they’re friends and derek will retort back that that’s exactly the reason why he can’t (“everyone will think we’re sleeping together” “literally no one thinks we’re sleeping together” “true but i’m sleepy after like 10 pm and you always message me at like 3 am” “how are you a cs major” “you mean cs god”).

SOULMATES
NAME daniel 정국 jeon
NICKNAMES
IRON MAN, 아이언 맨 : eliza's alter ego / it's only after they try giving their names to each other and realize that they simply can't that eliza realizes she needs something. after the 10th time of seeing something mildly alarming scrawled on her arm about "pick up 10 handles of gin from matt hyung" or 15 tally marks by 11 pm (she's been in the greek life long enough to know those mean shots) that she decides to call him iron man, for the fact that her soulmate seems to have an iron liver, literally.
NUMBER ONE, 꼴통멀이 #1 : hazel sohn in gc / it's in the hard summer group chat between hazel and a few of the paphi boys that daniel stutters in protest as hazel nicknames him " number one" ("what the " "hey at least i'm number two" " you ryan koo") for all the members to see. hazel really never gets over the nickname even into the school year, much to the chagrin of daniel, as she unabashedly calls out number one all the way from across kale lawn.
STU$$Y, 스투시 : mc greeks / when he's introduced as daniel "stu$$y" jeon during his probate to the rest of the multicultural greek community, black hoodie shining with the stussy logo as he takes off his mask, they all laugh as his big brian mentions how daniel had worn so much stussy during pledging that it was only right to call him by his brand (daniel ignores landon's shout of "did you even wash your clothes"). it's a little embarrassing now, but a boy's gotta take what he's given right?

TLDR ; probably pretty unapproachable at first bc he looks like a boy by association / but he tries harder to have the look more than the title / easygoing and messes around with his friends a lot / holds himself up well ("i pull" daniel will smugly say to which landon will slap him across the head) / pretty disciplined in terms of school and physique but he's a total crybaby about everything else (tb to 2017 when hazel held up a snapping live crab and he shrieked) / meme child / gets on by upperclassmen all the time for being him (lol) / thinks he's pretty cool / complains a lot / a little careless and quick to point fingers / makes assumptions really easily / gets kinda possessive / stubborn pretty much to a fault / ok honestly he can have a pretty hot temper sometimes / sometimes ssays and regrets it later / is too willing to follow along with others' bad antics / loyal with his friends and trusts them a lot (in turn is pretty trustworthy) / doesn't like to hide stuff / more confrontational than not / still a little though (freshman year antics questionable) / his mouth runs before his head when high on emotion
tldr from jenn : he's not like a hard rage af boy like he tries to act like it but he's like,,, the type to get really interested in small knick knacks lol "are u a child" - hazel as she watches daniel fascinated with some toy like i can see him def being a boy in the sense that he's like "i don't rlly like her but i'll her" kinda way but when it comes down to it like he never wants to hurt them? /? ??
RELATIONSHIP
a 9 am intro to astrology class the monday after a series of back-to-school parties isn't how daniel jeon expected to die, but he can't help the wince when he climbs to a random seat in the front-middle of the lecture hall and drops his north face backpack down carelessly, pulling the hood of his stussy hoodie lower in hopes of shading his undoubtedly haggard face. that last shot with ryan was definitely a bad idea, he grimaces as the rest of the class starts to trickle in, the professor soon walking in — or who he supposes is the professor, considering he hadn't come to the two previous lectures in lieu of being deadass hungover or oversleeping.
and he supposes life always grabs you at your least finest moments, because that's where it all starts. he looks up from his daze to see a girl frantically looking around after stumbling to a stop when she spots him, unsurety in her wide eyes and he thinks dumbly, oh , i stole her seat. there's no assigned seats, of course not, but everyone knows the first place you sit on day one is your permanent seat, and surely she's inwardly cursing out his snapback-wearing . "yo, take my seat." "oh noo i feel bad you were sitting there!" her voice is soft, a little squeaky with morning drowsiness but nonetheless cute, but daniel waves off his wandering thoughts to the aftermath of his #baddecisions because what the . "nah, it's fine. here i'll just move." he drops his backpack one seat down and gestures over to the hesitant girl.
it's halfway through the lecture when he nudges her and asks, "do you have the previous notes?" looking at least a little sheepish as she hands over her notes with a small laugh. he quirks a smile at her little doodles on the side. "oh, cute." but you see, fate, though powerful, is fickle in nature. they don't fall in love in their shared 9 am nor do they become inseparably close. daniel and eliza fall into nothing but a common sort of classroom friendship, offering smiles of acknowledgment and saving each other's seats, daniel sometimes walking in with an extra coffee "for letting me look at your notes" or talking over professor hunt's lecture style ("he's sort of at teaching" "that's kind of mean, daniel" "you know it's true, eliza" "well yeah but i woULDN'T SAY IT LIKE THAT").

DRIVING TO GRIFFITH OBSERVATORY, 7:02 PM
PLAYING IN LANDON'S CAR: FALLIN' ALL IN YOU, SHAWN M
but really, it's not too hard to befriend eliza kim, even for someone like daniel jeon, and it's only too soon where one, two partner projects lead to one, two, fifteen facebook messenger conversations — and as daniel curls up in his sheets, screen shedding light on an inadvertent grin as he holds his phone above his head, his roommate shoots a weirded out look because "bro, you've just been smiling for like the past fifteen minutes it's creeping me out." it's the little reaction gifs, the utter lack of holding back of her excitement, the texts that grammatically trip over themselves much like their owner does, the mundane conversations that last well past midnight. he's not in love — daniel jeon doesn't do love, much like he doesn't do second dates nor nor roller coasters — but he's found someone that seems to bring out only the best of him.
it's in the late night study sessions in the radius where they end up watching more vine compilations than astrology lectures and the brunches (can you eat kbbq at 10 am?) they grab together after class where they complain over mutual friends and trashy malibu tourists that they build a friendship. it only helps that they're both asian greeks, and eliza waves excitedly with both hands as she bounds over to daniel at a sigma nu mixer, squishing her face into his supreme tank as he positively beams, wrapping his arm around her shoulders as he excitedly asks her to take a shot with him. they're friends — perhaps even best friends by winter quarter — and while ryan laments about bros before hoes, dude even he can't help the -eating grin when he visits daniel's dorm to borrow his longboard and he doesn't even bat an eye seeing eliza cooking two shin ramens on the stove top.
because at some point, they just become eliza and daniel, and eliza is more likely to be seen taking a nap under daniel's blankets as she waits for him to finish his last problem set than anywhere else, and daniel never misses out on bringing takeout during eliza's work shifts to just mess around online with her. they're #chingoos, no feelings are involved ("are you kidding me? can you imagine me dating jeon, dear lord i said cute korean wholesome christian boy not the opposite" "that hurts liz, i'm right here" "you told me i was a three out of ten on a good day" "you're not wrong at all– ow , did you just kick me").

PLAYING GAMES IN FRONT OF RADIUS, 1:43 AM
PLAYING ON DJEON'S SPEAKER: OUT MY MIND, TRITONAL
it's not from a specific event nor time, and daniel can't go ah, that's the exact moment i fell in love, but it's a gradual process from continuous trust and friendship. daniel almost feels a little bad for his soulmate, the poor girl he barely talks to but who seems nice enough, and all the girls he's remotely led on, because, well, he likes someone else. "honestly, it's so obvious you're into her even jackson wang sees it and you barely know him. you're the almighty daniel jeon just tell her," daniel grimaces as mark tuan searches for his paphi hoodie, clothes scattered across the frat house room. "um, she likes someone else." mark turns around, finally facing the boy as he raises an eyebrow. "oh , really? soulmate?" daniel shrugs. "wouldn't know. but man, i probably know more about this guy than most of our own pledges." he laughs a little helplessly before shaking his head.
because really, even when he's probably one of the most confrontationally blunt people in his frat, when it comes to eliza he's absolute at feelings, and he respects her decisions and her interests. perhaps that's why even on the day of his biggest affirmation, he can't help shriveling away.
they're grabbing boba at serendipitea, laptops out and papers scattered across the span of two round tables as they work on their midterm project. they both have their headphones plugged in, and it's not until an hour in that daniel looks up only to see eliza nodding off, head bobbing back and forth as she lets out soft, even breaths. he snickers, pulling his hood and headphones off and clicking out one of his pilot g2 pens, gently doodling on her arm as not to wake her. she's gonna hate me, daniel laughs quietly to himself, admiring the crude artwork decorating the entirety of her forearm before nodding to himself as if in affirmation. he stands up, whistling as he walks to the bathroom to wash off some of the stray ink that had bled onto his fingers. he rolls up the sleeves of his stussy hoodie when his smile starts to fade. because there, marked so clearly in his own handwriting, is the same scatter of ink across skin.

ON THE WAY TO BYUL BANG, 11:23 PM
PLAYING IN MINGYU'S CAR: ARIEL, IDEADEAD
and maybe he could've told her what he'd found instead of hurriedly hiding his arms, but it's suddenly so hard to breath, to think straight. his soulmate realization doesn't bring him joy — rather, he's scared, scared that he'd become the cause of her unhappiness, that eliza would feel like she was stuck with him when she seemed enamoured with this other dude. he doesn't want to put her in that situation. he likes her too much for that.
so he keeps it a secret.
it's misunderstandings like these that, more often than not, cause soulmate relationships to fail. because soulmates, while destined, are fragile. and for the sole lack of timing, things always fall apart. eliza falls in love a little differently, a little more dynamically — because unlike daniel, she can pinpoint the day the realization hits. it's raining, unnaturally hard in california heat, and eliza huffs as she tries to shield her head with her hands, "did the weather forecast even mention rain?" she grumbles miserably as daniel barks back a laugh, "you look like a sad wet dog, liz" "excuse me!!" she jumps a little as a passing car splashes a puddle onto them, and sopping wet they just blink at each other, sopping wet, before bursting into laughter. "here, take my windbreaker. it's still dry on the inside and i don't want to deal with how grumpy you get when you're wet." daniel shrugs off his nike despite eliza's protests, dumping the jacket over her head. she pushes the hood back to uncover her eyes again, and what stares back is daniel, water dripping from his hair as his shirt starts to soak through. he beams back at her despite his state, and suddenly it hits her. oh.
she may have been searching for her perfect man in someone else, holding the biggest puppy crush of the century on a combination of supposedly ideal qualities, but the next month is a realization of the little things — of the imperfections, the laughter, and the tears that make up her time with daniel jeon. she really, really likes him. misplaced affections. misguided efforts. the soulmate realization comes much like daniel's save for the setting — dvp at 1 am — and daniel fails to stop her from drawing on his arm before she notices the sprawl of ink mirrored on her own skin, and she lets out a small gasp in shock. "daniel-" "we may biologically be soulmates, but we aren't meant for each other," he bursts, failing to see the light fade in her eyes as his eyes start to blur from unshed tears. it's quiet, moreso than it's ever been between them, before he closes his laptop, zips up his backpack, and quietly closes the door behind him.
how do you look at someone you love and tell yourself it's time to walk away?

TRIVIA
ACADEMIC LIFE : no one expects daniel to care about his grades, considering how he seems the type to be more well-versed in reciting alcohol brands than physics equations, but much to their surprise daniel did come to college for an education, and he unfortunately can’t afford to disappoint the family back in orange county that — surprise! — pays for his college tuition. mechanical engineering seemed practical enough to please his parents (and considering he's always liked physics, well, it was an easy decision), and dance was a spur-of-the-moment pursuit for himself after seeing his schedule allowed a few electives here and there.
3:10 PM, SERENDIPITEA : "hey, do you remember the gas laws?" eliza pokes daniel's bicep with the head of her pink mechanical pencil, making him take off his headphones to peer over at her paper. "oh, yeah i actually remember this problem set." eliza rests her chin on her hand, eyes softening into a smile as she watches daniel eagerly explain step-by-step how to solve the problem — for someone who pretends like he doesn't give two s about school, it's almost cute to see him so invested.
BROS 4 LIFE : daniel and ryan koo, while they seem inseparable now, were freshman year roomies that absolutely hated each other — considering ryan slept with a girl daniel was interested in at the time, it's no surprise that daniel was more akin to talking to one of his hyungs than being friendly. it's not until they rush for pi alpha phi together that they have some #bro heart-to-hearts and set aside their differences for the good of their pledge class. fast forward to sophomore year and they're now best friends, having gotten over how stupid they both were freshman year and embracing their status as the dumb and dumber duo that pretend like they have way more clout than they actually probably do.
EXTRACURRICULARS : he's known that he would want to rush an asian frat since he was in high school, having seen all his older hyungs from back home join brotherhoods, despite the multitude of stereotypes it would mean to "be a frat boy." when it comes time to choose, pi alpha phi ends up tugging at his heart a little more than the rest when he clicks immediately with elijah and brian during a rush party (it also helps that the lambda phi epsilon president at the time gave him bad vibes).
rice breakers is a bit more of an on-the-spot decision when he sees them dance at an orientation showcase and immediately decides he wants to continue dancing even into college. he walks into auditions with a bit of wariness — especially when howon and hoseok stare at him blankly from their seats, black hoodies branding matching rice breakers, since 2002 — but the moment they break out into laughter and clap him on the back, raving over his manolo audition.
FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS : like a wash-rinse-repeat process, at every paphi party he downs hella shots courtesy of brian (login shot!!! brian shouts as people around them cheer) before he spots her in the blinding lights and thumping bass. he gives her a little grin, eyes starting to glaze as he tugs at his dark gray champion hoodie ("his" if it's not gone by the end of the night, considering how many she's taken) before beckoning her over. she gives her friends all a knowing look before she struts over to daniel — they're not dating or anything but everyone knows that it's a given that daniel and [ tbd ] end up all over each other by the night's end. feelings aren't involved, they say, but that's up to you to decide.
SOULMATE THOUGHTS : he never thought too much about soulmates, having the mindset that if it was truly meant to be, he'd end up with the person eventually. that's why when he gets his first soulmate marks, his interest is piqued but it's not something that drastically changes the way he functions on the daily — especially when his "hello? helloooo"s or even the phallic symbol brian draws on his bicep are met with nothing (she was younger, that was for sure) but grocery lists and a reminder to water the succulents. having gotten formalities out of the way now, he'll doodle something on his arm when he's bored or when he's heard a deep question ("is the s or c silent in scene?" "huh???").
EDM LIFE : daniel is honestly somewhat of an edm hoe, having skipped thursday and friday of classes last march to drive down to san bernardino with some friends for beyond wonderland. hard summer? check. raves? check. headphones blasting future bass as he works on problem sets in a study room, when it's not test season he's usually down to hit up a yellow claw or martin garrix show, bandana tied around his bicep as he throws up his frat sign in a black obey tank top and high nike socks ("why do you dress like that" "like what hazel" "like that" "dear lord")

THIS OR THAT
"WANNA STUDY ON
THE BEACH LATER?"
eliza looks up from her psych textbook in confusion as she feels the firm press of a pen against her skin, only to see daniel giving her a sheepish grin. "i'm bored." "you can't focus for more than 30 minutes." eliza grumbles jokingly but lets him doodle anyway, watching as the same penmanship swirls on his own tanned complexion. "i mean, did we really think we could study while at the beach? if anything, take a study break with me? let's play a game."
PROCRASTINATION OR DOING STUFF ON TIME?
"i'm actually a little surprised that your idea of a good time is playing would you rather." eliza giggles, sweeping away some stray sand from the picnic table with the hand that isn't being locked down by daniel's. "but you know me, forget about my code until the night before and cry over how college ?" "of course i know," he answers breezily, "who else stays up with you every monday and wednesday?" he only narrowly misses an eraser being thrown at him as she gasps indignantly. "like you're any better daniel jeongguk jeon?"
SPORTY OR MUSICAL?
"i mean, i'm not sure if you can run more than a mile without dying but." daniel snorts as eliza pouts. "we can't all be in love with working out, can we?" daniel draws a frowny face on her arm (next to the 27 dogs and a vague chicken-nugget-looking object), mirroring it with an exaggerated downturn of his lips. "but you're not wrong" she ignores daniel's am i ever wrong before continuing. "i've always been more interested in the art side of things. does that count?"
CALLING YOUR SOULMATE AY OR NICKNAMES?
"when did you start calling me -goat again?" eliza eyebrows furrow cutely in thought. daniel stifles a laugh. "holy i forgot we used to do that all the time. you called me iron man. i never got around asking why." eliza shrugs, plucking the pen from daniel's hand (stopping him from drawing a piece of bacon) and scribbling daniel's korean name on his palm. "to be completely honest, it was because you would write 'pick up alc' all the time and i figured you had an iron liver. who drinks on a tuesday?" she glances up amusedly as daniel sputters in protest, ears reddening.
SHIN RAMEN AT 3 AM OR NO EATING PAST 7 PM?
"is ramen even good before midnight?" eliza throws up a peace sign while daniel laughs, swatting her hand down. "considering you make me eat it with you in the dead of night? you're right why'd i even bother asking this." he rolls his eyes before patting his abs. "you're killing my sons with your dirty habits, liz." "you're the only one i know who names his abs, really."
VODKA OR BEER?
"beeeeeer!!!" she throws her arms up with a laugh. daniel snorts before pulling two banana milk cartons out of his backpack, poking straws into each of them. "remember that one time you drank grey goose and you puked on my-" "there's a reASON THE PAST IS THE PAST." she claps a hand over daniel's mouth with a huff as he shakes in laughter. "vodka just upsets my stomach okie. why are you trying to make me die. friendship cancelled." "oh, so now we're stealing my lines now?" he gently pulls her hand off his face before ruffling her hair.
DRAWINGS ON ARM OR GROCERY LISTS?
"i tend to just write reminders on my arm because it ends up being so convenient." she shrugs. "and my soulmate does that too. he drew these weird chicken nugget looking things once though and we argued over what they were. i feel like that sounds awfully familiar?" she giggles as daniel widens his eyes in mock awe. "the man obviously has taste. it's not our faults you can't recognize true art when you see it."
ALL FOR SOULMATES OR MY WAY HIGHWAY?
"well," she starts slowly, "i don't really talk too much to my soulmate. but you knew that." she looks a little sheepish before he quirks a smile. "'course. i don't either, remember?" he leans his chin in his hand. "but there's nothing wrong with that. if it's really destined, then that's that. but if we have conscious choices, why not make those decisions for ourselves?" eliza slowly nods.
GREEK LIFE OR NON-GREEK LIFE?
"i'm just a frat boy, you're just a srat girl," daniel snickers as eliza hits his arm, "so yeah it's a stupid question. no regrets, right." she smiles warmly, "no never." "brotherhood is the best." "no, sisterhood." "no ing way" "fiGHT ME!!!!"
