ㅤ赤い糸 THE SQUAD

ㅤ赤い糸 RED STRING OF FATE。
NAME: Ryu Hyeji
BIRTHDATE: 14th of January
SOULMATE: Lee Jongsuk
 
ABOUT: Leave it up to Ryu Hyeji to make your life a little bit more prone to havoc. With her avant-garde character and unusual love for marathoning old horror movies, Ryu Hyeji is more or less, a peculiar case of juvenility. It appears as if this girl lives in another world entirely; that would be the one sentence which could sum up the entirety of her in a whole. She lives to the own beat of her drums and goes at her own pace, unsteady and erratic as it can be. She far embodies the classic whimsical, oddball type and has the intense need to go on her own path at all times. She doesn’t like to be held back and she isn’t the type to do something because she’s being told it needs to be done but rather because she feels it is right. She prides herself in her ability to freely interact with others but forgets in the long run that she's doing more harm than good by blindlessly plowing through the feelings of others in order to get what she wants.
NAME: Goo Hyebi
BIRTHDATE: 8th of June
SOULMATE: Oh Sehun
 
ABOUT: Most of the time, Hyebi is just a quiet presence who tries her best to go by unnoticed (because everytime she actually does get noticed, it never turns out nicely). The rest of the time, though, she finds herself trying to stop Hyeji from doing dumb things and in the rare occasions she doesn't, thinking over bad life decisions. With a sharp tongue and sharper jabs (like no kidding, don't mess with her), she finds it strange that people actually want to befriend her. She finds it even stranger that they think she is a pushover because pft, she is far from being one (except maybe she does buy Hyeji her favorite vegetarian cupcakes, wash her clothes for her, wake her up every day...). But the strangest of them all is that everyone replies to her "I hate you" with a coo and an "I love you too" with no regards to her sour face whatsoever.
NAME: Song Iseul
BIRTHDATE: 9th of January
SOULMATE: Kim Jongin
 
ABOUT: The epitome of refined elegance, Iseul is much admired for her chic aura, charming intellect, and notable fashion sense. A religious upholder of class, she is able to maintain swan-like grace amidst her snide eloquence and brutal honesty. Moreover, she has proven to be quite the impenetrable lass with her colossal pride and aptness for coolly dismissing others. Bred from prestigious wealth, Iseul is burdened with the reigns of her father's company (though of course, she is not one to give anything less than perfection) and knows little outside her bubble of opulence. Despite her poised exterior and elaborate lifestyle, she often feels empty and restricted by her upbringing, and yearns for freedom and vibrance. She is a relentless dreamer, though not necessarily about armour-clad knights and happily ever afters.
NAME: Kang Minki
BIRTHDATE: 21st of December
SOULMATE: Do Kyungsoo
 
ABOUT: Minki, in essence, is regarded as a charming debonair—an exemplary individual who despite his genuinely dissociative nature is capable of retaining an amiable atmosphere with ease. Born from a family of high status, his upbringing included being subjected to a toxic environment with a plethora of expectations which drove him into a constant state of self-discontentment. He constantly distinguishes the need to be better than anyone else and that abominable yearning is one of the sole reasons as to his general insincerity. Despite that, he is quite attached to a select few, and his shameless declarations of affection is somewhat excessive as they are a means of redemption for his repulsive nature. Spiking his beloved mochaccino boba with vodka creates a terrific chaperone out of the boy.
NAME: Jeon Junah
BIRTHDATE: 25th of December
SOULMATE: Min Yoongi
 
ABOUT: Junah, take away her butthurt level of competitiveness, is your average girl-next-door. There are no frills and thrills in this down-to-earth lady's life. Junah appreciates simplicity and practicality. She is a lady of harshly realistic views and, upon request, will feed you the practical (sometimes hurtful) advice you needed all along. Junah's short-sighted in the sense that she doesn't have the habit of planning far, she only focuses on the things that affect her in the present moment, which can be a good and bad thing at the same time, depending on the situation. She doesn't have many friends but she's not a loser. To those friends, however, Junah is extremely loyal. Until, of course, they up big time. 
NAME: Ahn Yerim
BIRTHDATE: 30th of May
SOULMATE: Kim Junmyeon
 
ABOUT: There might be no one who is more about the present than Ahn Yerim. She is quick on her feet and more aware of her surroundings than most understand, at least until alcohol enters her system (which you probably don't really want to know about). As the youngest in the family, she is used to being the center of attention and is no less fond of it now than as a child. On the other hand, t doesn't take much to earn her attention, but to keep it there is an entirely different matter. Don't let yourself be fooled by the girl's size, she is not a force to be underestimated. Afterall, you can't just take a girl who thinks nothing of The Rules of the Establishment, instead sticking to her own integrity (which mandates that she will not under any circumstances do something which she feels to be wrong), lightly.
NAME: Go Soyoung
BIRTHDATE: 15th of February
SOULMATE: Lee Hyunwoo
 
ABOUT: Go Soyoung lives in a world of facts and logic. She is regarded as the fairly traditional type with a mind as sharp as a thousand knives. Her word is her promise, and she should never be doubted when it comes to getting her work done. Raised in a family of high standing, she has similar standards for herself as well as others. However, Soyoung is not naturally in tune with her own feelings and the feelings of others. She may have difficulty picking up on emotional needs immediately, as they are presented. Practical and fact-minded, Soyoung has a reliability that cannot be doubted. The quickest way to get on her bad side is the combination of dishonesty and laziness. This girl's all about loyalty and honesty. Her friends tend to lean on her for stability and support, even though the latter needs to be made clear for her to see it.
“A complete stranger has the capacity to alter the life of another irrevocably. This domino effect has the capacity to change the course of an entire world. That is what life is; a chain reaction of individuals colliding with others and influencing their lives without realizing it. A decision that seems miniscule to you, may be monumental to the fate of the world.”
― J.D. Stroube, Caged by Damnation

as i was writing up minsoo's meeting on the app, i realized i really hate how disgustingly clichéd it was, but you two... you two executed everything with such a flair. everything perfectly fell into place. [that ] minki's announcement was timed so well with jongin's arrival sO OF COURSE ISEUL BEING ABSOLUTE QUEEN wants to protect her mieux ami.
my obvious love for how you wrote minsoo aside, i'm absolutely in love with how iseul interacts with the pleb garbage. the sass is too real. minki's such a snide little .
you two wrote my bias ksoo perfectly oh my god. i think i'm dead. i'm absolutely jealous of your styles because it's b with humour and creativity. i just... no words can express how happy i am right now...
thank you for writing minki. thank you so much.

Chapter 11: a short but wonderful chapter! junah sounds so done with everything and ah yes the endless pile of incomplete papers and assignments. awesome and on point section about junah, huge kudos to you guys for overcoming the time difference and producing such wonderful chapters for us! and gosh, what soyoung did was really admirable, i do hope she'll see the fruits of her labour one day. can't wait to see how she'll develop, along with the other characters in the story ;u;

no better than strangers by baby soul is one of the songs i listen to most often nowadays, she has a really beautiful voice!

Chapter 11: The Adventures of Ryu Hyeji Vol. 1 continues with the attempted murder of a less than cooperative friend. I am really starting to adore this group, even if it's only been two chapters plus a couple of teasers. They are such a diverse group which these chapters clearly show us! You are portraying Soyoung way better than I could've ever imagined, and the idea of giving up her dream for the sake of family is an interesting twist I did not see coming! Junah is also such a sweetheart with her honesty; I can see why Soyoung might be one of the preferred kinds of company. I have to say that I love your writing. It's so easygoing, yet I have to get every word because it's so precious and gold!

Wow, going completely topic here...

Anyway, the question! Currently, my favorite song isn't really a song, but more of a melody. I have recently fallen in love with Ludovico Einaudi's I Giorni... If I had to pick a song, though, it would be Erutan's The Willow Maiden.

Chapter 11: I must admit that I really enjoy Hyeji's presence at the moment. She is such a ray of sunshine, indeed. Soyoung reminds me a bit of myself, and I was surprised that she was studying pharmacy because that's my goal for this coming August! Soyoung and Junah are a very interesting add-on to the group because they're so level-headed compared to the chaos that is the rest!
For the Question of the Day: My big music obsession at the moment is "Going Nowhere" by Little Mix!

Chapter 11: omg hyeji is insane i wouldn't know how to handle someone like her
but she makes everything an adventure tbh LOL
hyebi is so boss there is literally no one else that can control hyeji like how she does

QOTD: omg my friends are crazy about stromae i've yet to listen to him
ide have a current fave song atm im just bouncing around and listening to random crap

Chapter 11: ohmygofohmygo-- it's an update ayyayyy!!!!
i really appreciate bambi's existence in this fic okay she's a bundle of hyperactive joy and energy
damn brodudebreh standing outside in freezing weather temperatures is brutal though but mehhh spring is arriving yayyy junah's concern is actually super touching wow hyeji don't you think she deserves some good pasta? lolol
hyebi knowing hyeji so well makes me cry bc those are literal friendship goals
lmao soyoung is at her prime. she should explore the world and interact with more people instead of interacting with a medical sciences book aaghh school is brutal ><
soyoung is such a sweetheart, wow. it to have to give way and pursue something you don't want but she's powering through it waaahhh ;A;;
Answer to QOTD: idk i've had muse's unsustainable stuck on repeat, but i've mixed it with loops of thunderstorms and that's all i've currently been listening to. omG I HEARd lindsey stirling and pentatonix's ver of papoutai too and i love them both?!?! i can't choose bc they're both amazing ;A;
rIGHT EXO'S COMEBACK IS NEARING WAHhh i've been so out of the loop with kpop it's crazy ><

Chapter 11: Oww, all that was cute. Ok, so maybe trying to kill a friend was not that cute but it was all so funny x)
I like how they immediately turn to Hyebi to have news about Hyeji ~
And that "shame on your cow" sentence just got me XD
I just have one question, author chau-nim, are you from a French speaking country ? Stromae is not that famous around the world (which is a shame), so having Papaoutai (not Papoutai, btw) as a favorite song is uncommon ~ and if you like it, I'd definitely recommend you to listen to Pentatonix' cover of Papaoutai, you'll love it o/
Anyway, I hope your exams went well, thanks for the chapter !

Chapter 10: Finally got around to reading this. I have been without internet this week, what a mess... I loved the first chapter and the different dynamics. You nailed Soyoung from the little that I read. For the question, I would have to say that it is up to you, dear authors. Sorry for the short comment, writing on a mobile phone ...
