SALL ABOUT ME
PERSONALITY [ ♦ ]
// Hyojin is a flower that is very picky with whom it'll decide to bloom. In a foreign territory where she knows nobody, she can as easily slink into the wall and disappear from your sight. And she's okay with that.
But once someone approached her and at least show a bit of effort that they're interested and willing to listen (well, the willingness is arguable), Hyojin will practically explode in an array of disjointed arguments and weird anecdotes. Often speaks with animated hand gestures and conversations with her is wild as she likes to go on a tangent that has nothing to do with the initial topic.
// She's a very harsh critique on herself, true perfectionist that will opt to procrastinate if she has the feeling that she won't be able to ace the task. But once Hyojin wants the , she'll do anything to get the . Very determined regarding things she held dear, the girl that'll take that 1% chance of success and make it work. She also has difficulties focusing on one project, often will do like... 5 at the same time and jumping from one another with ease.
// She never holds any grudge or bad feelings to other people. She will only hate other people when they've done something that directly affects her in a major way. She's also a very curious girl. She likes to try on new things and always wonders why is it like this? Why is this like that? She loves innovation and values the will that make thoughts into action. But. But. She's envious and gets jealous easily, though you'll have to walk over her dead body before she'll admit she felt those emotion.
// Observer and a quick thinker. Not really a player on the 'game', but she observes from afar and would secretly pull the strings without anyone knowing. Quite cunning and sharp tongued when needed. She's like... Petyr 'Little Finger' Baelish in Game of Thrones lol
BACKGROUND [ ♦ ] Born in Yeongcheon, North Gyeonsang to a family of farmer. They were a family that loves and appreciates music, so Hyojin grew up listening to tunes and melodies. Her mom was a piano teacher but her dad is tone deaf. And it seemed that her children took after their dad (Hyojin for for being literally half deaf and her brother for being well... Tone deaf). Her effort of teaching Hyojin piano never came to fruition because she just CAN'T read musical notes without stopping everytime and scrutinizing the page. But Hyojin got her talent for words from her father, as he loves to read and gave her lots of books far beyond her age's reading skill since she was little. Her brother is the rogue chain, showing interest in science instead.
Hers is a happy little family (even though she still felt her mom's regret for not having a musically gifted child). And Hyojin loves them so.

LOVE OF MY LIFE
PERSONALITY [ ♦ ] He seems very laid back and cool at first. 'I don't care, whatever happened, happened' kind of guy. But he actually do care. He cares too much even. Often overcompensates and in the end panics to find a way to keep his claims consistent. A bit of a pathological liar. Although clumsy and scatterbrained, he would never admit it and would just brush accidents under the rug and act like it never happened. A person that keeps his heart in the past. Sentimental (even if he tried to deny it with all his heart).
RELATIONSHIP [ ♦ ] At first Hyojin was unsure if she could work with this kind of person, who in her eyes looks cocky as hell. But his dirty sense of humor brought them together and she found herself laughing until she cried everytime she spent some 'jamming sessions' with him. But Hyojin often felt like she is walking over eggshells when dealing with him, because one wrong step and his mood can change 180 degrees, just like that.
HISTORY [ ♦ ] COMPANY MANDATE. INTER COMPANIES WORK FUNDAY. Hyojin was essentially 'virtually rented' to bighit due to personal issue (read: she hit a creative wall and seemed unable to create new content with the same quality as she used to). So they were like "Yea send her away for refreshing course. Holi-work-day or something". So she found herself spending weekends having to work with this brash young man (who can also write well. Look who's jealous) in a music genre she's not familiar with.
OTHER [ ♦ ] Hyojin can't rap. Like. AT ALL. NU UH NO SIR. And Yoongi seemed super amused with this fact and would always force her to do some godawful verse battle with him. (He always win). Oh. And he's a good kisser.
NAME [ ♦ ] Min Yoongi (Suga)
OCCUPATION [ ♦ ] member of BTS
D.O.B [ ♦ ] March 8 1993
NAME [ ♦ ] Kim Minjun (Jun.K)
OCCUPATION [ ♦ ] Member of 2PM
D.O.B [ ♦ ] Jan 15 1988
PERSONALITY [ ♦ ] He's the type that won't walk up to you and strike a conversation. Quite the serious type and doesn't pick up the concept of 'having fun while working'. Very attentive and shows mutual respect with the people he works with.
RELATIONSHIP [ ♦ ] Actually... He's kindda similar to Hyojin, which often will lead to good things, but most of the time means that their rapport building goes very slow. They were super awkward at first. Added to that the fact that they both love to write and Hyojin felt this sense of jealousy of his massively different writing style (compared to hers) only worsened the situation.
HISTORY [ ♦ ] They were assigned to work together. At first, due to her overwhelming envy, Hyojin couldn't turn out good works and they had to work through this obstacle.
OTHER [ ♦ ] At one point, they decided they will collaborate on Hyojin's kid-book-series together when they're old and they have more time.
ANY LAST COMMENTS [ ♦ ] I hope this is goooood~ Been a long time since I wrote an applyfic app.
SCENE REQUESTS [ ♦ ]
// Hyojin forgetting her hearing aids and Yoongi/GEMS members not knowing that she wears one = miscommunication ensues.
// Heart to heart conversation scene. Because eventhough Hyojin and Yoongi appears to be close, it's only ankle deep. And Hyojin would never demand him to spill his stories unless he wants to so. Yea. Talks.
// Oh and the fact that for Yoongi she's a noona = cute, awkard, borderline disrespectful scenes of him teasing her (which never works because she couldn't care less)
// Lady Greys small showcase session in a cafe maybe?
// KISSING KISSING KISSING lol jk sorry...
PASSWORD [ ♦ ] OCHRE YELLOW (actually, the yellow in this app is beautiful :P) But maybe pearly white is good, or periwinkle. Or iridescent? Because I imagine gems as like a diamond.
As for fanclub... Hmm... Pressure? Because that's the factor that makes gems... But that's weird... Heat? CARBON ok I'll stop.
