HAVE A GOOD DAY × JUNG HAERA
hey, there's always tomorrow, right
birthNAME : jung haera (정해라)
NICKNAMEs :
(our) baby jung - primarily the family member and the best friend use it but on days when the stranger feels bold enough to allow themselves to refer to the girl as that, they will use the nickname as well. used affectionately, seeing as haera is a common interest of being liked by the main characters, they often are known for babying her regardless of age. she doesn't like it when they use it but she knows they only mean well when its uttered.
chicken legs - most of the staff that work at the restaurant. a given nickname after it was previously revealed that haera had an affixation for left over drumsticks when work allowed her to eat there. also it doesn't help that her legs are on the shorter and thinner side, thus resembling an actual chicken's legs.

FACE CLAIMS :
iu/lee jieun soloist
Appearance : like a porcelain doll kept far away on a high shelf, jung haera is basically an untouched beauty waiting to be tainted and be considered an imperfection by society rather than the pure image she currently upholds. her skin is clear and bright as ivory can be, her eyes somewhat large and glittering with curiosity; medium-long black hair frames her oval like face as her literal doll-like body, short and soft in all the right places, carries her head full of dreams and uninhibited desires up and down the streets of seoul. she only possesses single piercings on each of her ear lobes but she does hide a tiny tattoo behind her right ear of her astrological sign, pisces.
#ootd : typically haera is the type to step out of her home in a large knitted sweater and black leggings, with black converse highs latched onto her feet as she swings her backpack over her shoulder, but today she decided to do something different. for today only, she steps out wearing a royal navy blue sweater over a simple white long sleeved button up and a matching blue pleated skater skirt, black heeled ankle boots replacing her trusty converses, but still keeping her backpack slung over her right shoulder.
because she has work early in the afternoon she only decides to change out of her skirt and heels and into those familiar black leggings and converses as she puts the burgundy red apron over her shirt while serving customers at the chicken resaurant she humbly works at 5 days a week.

in the future : if haera was to be totally honest, she doesn't really have any big dreams or aspirations she's trying to aim for at the moment. compared to those that soley focus on graduating to get a job to support themselves, or find the perfect match and get married and start a family, haera is just trying to keep her head a float from the high tides of life as an adult despite being barely 160 cm and take each day at a time. she's personally frustrated at the fact that she doesn't have anything she's anticipating other than the concept of tomorrow but she also knows she'd rather not be bothered about it because it'll just add onto the internal struggle and stress she is personally experiences.
the only reason she wants to see tomorrow happen is because she hopes it'll bring her closer to figuring out what her purpose in life is. call her crazy, but she thinks by seeing tomorrow happen she'll gain that long awaited ephiphany that leads her to knowing what she's good at. she hopes that spark isn't something along the lines of 'working at the chicken restaurant forever' but she thinks when that moment comes it'll be life changing such as she discovers that she's good at something other than being pretty or that she hit the lottery and she can just live in infinte riches instead of working another day in her life.

TRIVIA :
· haera owns a cat. her name is cecilia but she often calls her 'c' or 'lia'. she's a white persian cat.
tomorrow is yesterday.
MAIN RELATIONSHIPS :
the family member : "call mom" "why?" "cuz' i'm tired of doing it for you"
leaving her mom's home for a place of her own came with a price that haera was willing to pay. knowing the girl is as tiny and cute as she is, her mother only trusted the newly independent girl to be fine living on her own if someone familiar was with her. thus, the family member was invited to stay with her to mooch off her food and lay in her bed when she was busy at work. nevertheless, she loves them unconditionally and is the one she wakes up and comes home to every day.
the best friend : "yah! you lump of rocks. come and hug me!"
thinking of the number of memories that these two share is like a complete blur for haera and her best friend because they've had too many to recount at a time. their friendship was written in the stars as their first meeting looked more like a reunion as the two naturally fell into their friendship of mutual interests and being generally likable people. lately, the two of them haven't been able to contact one another due to different schedules but she is confident that her bff would know what she's doing before she can do it.
the classmate : "whats the answer to #4?" "idk my name isn't google"
of all the relationships haera has, the one she has with the classmate is fairly recent and still blooming in her perspective. though she is still unaware how they feel about her, she thinks that they're somewhat better than acquaintences but not exactly friends considering that most of their conversations still revolve around how stressful class is and when to meet up for that one project they're doing, but they have made jokes with one another and has told them a secret or two others don't know... yet.
the co-worker : "you got it boss!" "but i'm not your boss"
sometimes when haera sees her co-worker she has a sense of fear that they are kind of annoyed by her. having to spend a good chunk of time together, she knows seeing the same people can get on one's nerve, especially with her being the type to plow through work with a cheerful disposition and reassuring smile when there's an obvious tension in the air. but haera really cares about them, often talking to them instead of the other workers, and making sure that they'll see each other tomorrow.
the stranger : "we know each other... don't we?"
their relationship isn't exactly brand new, nor is it as old as time, but they definitely know one another. to haera, it's a bit of a challenge trying to connect the dots with this character because she just knows a lot of faces that this one isn't coming as easy as it usually would be, but she has faith that this person is significant in some way. truth is, they are a familiar because they've passed each other and may have talked at least once, but it seems the stranger is the one who holds the answers to this mystery.
OTHER RELATIONSHIPS :
the loiterer : lim sungbin
beenzino krn rapper. 25.
if haera was a kpop idol, which she could totally be just saying, she would have fans, sasaengs, and lim sungbin. he's not exactly obsessed with haera but everyone, including the bestfriend, thinks otherwise. the young girl, however, just kind of giggles and tries to pat the older man's head whenever he hangs around the chickren restaurant. he tries to walk her home late at night (bc gentleman do that) but she'll often decline the offer.
the boy next door : oh hyuk
oh hyuk from hyukoh. 22.
living right next to haera and the family member, hyuk is the guy everyone is a little cautious around but, in truth, is as harmless as a butterfly. he is the kind of person that will tell you how it is and then offer you to come inside for some tea and strum some bars of that maroon 5 song you like so much to make you feel better. haera goes to him at odd hours of the day when she's bored so if you can't find her, make sure to check there.
yesterday is today.
describe WHAT a normal Wednesday IS for you :
"wednesdays? how odd. i would think you would ask about monday or friday. haha" she laughs and smiles at the interviewer as she thinks hard about her daily routine.
"well lets see, since its a weekday i'd be up by at least 7, latest by 8, since my only class of the day begins at 10. i'm a morning shower-er so i'll hop in and then get myself dressed before running to the subway station to catch the next train to university. class is from 10 to 12:45, it's a lecture—super boring, i know— but its not like my tuesdays and thursdays when i have classes from 8 am to 6 pm. but irrelevant, i get it." she pauses to think more and snaps her fingers.
"ugh." she suddenly groans, "wednesdays are kind of the worst though because i usually work 10 hours at the chicken restaurant since class ends before 1. i'm a waitress so it's usually me running around, carrying delicious chicken, hanging out with my favorite cooks and co-workers, before walking home to immediately sleep." she sheepishly smiles at the fact. "work tires me out so easily that i can't bother to do homework or study when all i'll want to do is just sleep."

Describe what a normal saturday is for you :
"it's strange beause most people would want to sleep in on a saturday morning, but for me i feel like its the most peaceful time of the week." she begins, having a dreamy-like stare just thinking about saturday mornings, "usually i'll be up earlier than necessary, maybe around 5 or 6, just so i can run over to the han river and just sit. listen to the ducks in the river and wait for the sun to rise. it may be kind of cold, but i like that kind of weather."
"otherswise, my saturdays are primarily work-driven. i don't work too long, a typical 8 hour shift starting at 9 am, so i can be out before the mid-dinner rush, and from there it's kind of a free for all. most of the time i'll crash into hyuk's place to listen to him and his band play for a little bit, other times i'll call my best friend and catch up with them over dinner. lately, i've seen my classmate a lot becuase the class we have requires a lot of projects to be done, and if i get a chance maybe my family member will be free for a late night stroll or something."
she shrugs, "saturdays are just relaxing in general. we need more saturdays."

HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOU HAD TO RELIVE A PERFECT DAY OVER AND OVER AGAIN :
"for the first couple of times to relive a perfect day, i think it would be total bliss.
but after a while the luster in perfection would feel stale on my mouth
and i would just want to move on."

and i would just want to move on."
HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOU HAD TO RELIVE AN IMPERFECT DAY OVER AND OVER AGAIN :
"as bad as it sounds, i think i would kind of enjoy it. to see what actions cause what reactions.
it just sounds interesting. to think, if i had done something different, maybe the day wouldn't be as imperfect as one would think, right?"

WHAT IS ONe thing you want to change about your life right now :
"i wish i could remove the pressure of knowing what i want in life. like i know not everyone is supposed to have answers to every question asked, but i feel like i absolutely have nothing to contribute and i feel like i'm being judged for being like this."
what is the worst way to end a day :
"i think the obvious answer is dying, but i can also imagine going to bed really sad would be equally bad too."
WHAT IS YOUR favorite day of the week? favorite time of the day? :
"early saturday mornings. maybe around the time of 5 to 6 o'clock? its a very peaceful time.
unless you know... you're either going home from the club or waking up with a hangover..."
unless you know... you're either going home from the club or waking up with a hangover..."
do you know what a bootstrap paradox is :
"i don't really have a clue what that means, but it probably doesn't sound to good considering that the word 'paradox' is involved."
the day is done.

HOW WAS YOUR DAY?
CHARACTER description :
for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. in this case, the catalyst of this seemingly endless time loop originates in the form of jung haera. always present in everyone's life with shining bright eyes and a smile that hides some kind of secret, she is your typical 21 year old student trying to get through life like everyone else. even though she is the point that links everyone together, its up to the others to determine her future as her day initially ends with her potentially never seeing the next day come.
