hello, i'm 서소미
nicknames
↬ 
Mimi - generally something heard from her family and close friends. It's a clear term of endearment that somi is actually quite partial towards. It can pretty much be used interchangeably with her actual given name.
↬ bun/bunbun/tokki - born from two unrelated but coinciding factors from somi. her family and older sister frequently refer to her as their little cinnamon bun due to her being the baby of the family and, as a child, personifying the "cinnamon roll too good for this world" trope. Aditionally, somi has an eating related habit wherein she nibbles at things she doesn't quite like- akin to how an actual rabbit eats. hence why she seems to be unable to escape the various derivatives of this nickname.
birthdate and age: 03/12/2000 + 17
birthplace: seoul, South korea
 
ethnicity: korean
languages:
↬ 
korean - it's her mother language, spoken to and around her pretty much from the moment she was born. Pretty safe to say that she's fluent in the language.
↬ english - she, like all the other students, took the language lessons in school. She struggles with the language for the most part, but is a hard worker and has still managed to pass all of her english classes. She can be considered conversational at best, but she stumbles and gets nervous if and/or when she does actually need to put her skills to use.
 
face claim: Yeoreum (wjsn)
back-up face claim: chungha (soloist, formerly i.o.i.)
appearance: somi is actually rather petite, standing at 160cm and weighing in at 48kg. her hair is actually a good bit longer than her faceclaim, tumbling down to her waist. it's long and thick with a very soft wave to it whenever she wears it loose thanks to her almost always having it perpetually twisted up in a messy bun. she actually has a very light dusting of faint freckles on her cheeks and over the bridge of her nose. somi happens to be incredibly self-conscious about them and constantly tries to cover them with cosmetics. 
style: Casual/day to day wear for Somi is much more casual and sweetly feminine in comparison to some of the more daring outfits one may see on some of her friends- often leading her to be considered "the child" or "the prude" of the group by strangers. Style wise, she is rather flexible and capricious- easily sporting pastels and sweetly feminine outfits one week and the next be rocking garter belted thigh highs and printed tees. the main rule of thumb is that she DRESSES TO BE COMFORTABLE AND FOR SOME REASON OR ANOTHER SEEMS TO BE VERY SENSITIVE TO TEMPERATURES AND GETS COLD RATHER EASILY, HENCE HER LOVE FOr LONG SLEEVE SWEATERS OR CARDIGANS with pretty much anything in her wardrobe.

personality traits: 
(#good) -- laid-back, curious, playful
                     indecisive, avoidant, gullible -- (#nothx)


(#meh) -- gentle, impressionable, cute
 
personality: Somi has a gentle soul in every meaning of the word, from the soft tone of her voice to her actual appearance, the girl does not have a sharp edge, or a temper that flares strongly more than once in a blue moon. Her friends describe her as a kind-hearted girl who looks at the world through rose tinted glasses. The word delicate also comes up more often than not (though she often protests she is not as fragile as people make her out to be, even if her actions more often than not only serve to prove them correct). It is of little surprise that she proves to be a rather mild mannered and laid-back young woman on most occasions. She doesn't really project a very strong aura in the first place, but more often than not attention is drawn to her due to her cute looks and the fact that most of the time she is in the company of individuals with much stronger personalities than herself. Somi typically receives new people well in a warm and politely friendly manner- she's definitely the type to smile and help diffuse an awkward first meeting with a soft spoken greeting. That is not to say however that she is a complete pushover or doormat so to speak, on the contrary the girl proves to be startlingly passionate and stubborn over certain matters and subjects. What many people fail to realize is that her nature is much more passive-aggressive than one may realize. For the most part however, Somi is a tad bit more on the reserved side, and despite her friendliness is very rarely the type to initiate first contact until you endear yourself to her.

Her insatiable curiosity has been both beneficial and burdensome to the girl. While it prompts her to leave her comfort zone and explore, she has been known to unintentionally take it too far, and has ended up in strange or even dangerous situations on more than one occasion because of it. Her curiosity is almost child-like in its nature as she only possesses the honest desire to understand that which piques her interest, rather than follow something to exploit it for her own gain even if she has become aware of that possibility. She is prone to looking for hidden meanings or ulterior intentions in other people’s words and actions, mainly because she grew up on stories and old tellings where one could always find a hidden meaning or lesson from it. Even without that, people watching has always been something that has amused Somi, and as such she has grown up to be surprisingly observant of the events and people around her. This has developed into a potentially worrisome habit of looking too much into things that may otherwise be much more straightforward in all actuality. Amusingly, despite having grown up to be rather observant, Somi still tends to take most things at face value when said to her. Her observational strongpoints lie more in the body language and innate actions of a person rather than what actually comes out of their mouths. Granted, she isn’t so ignorant that she will honestly believe that every person she meets will be perfectly honest and forthcoming to her, but for the most part she attempts to give the benefit of the doubt until she is proven wrong. On top of being rather gullible, this girl also happens to be rather sympathetic to most people. The mixture of those two traits have proven in the past to be a rather bad mix since it generally makes her an easy target for other people to take advantage of.

This young woman has quite the sense of humor as well, but to see it one must become close enough so that she feels moderately comfortable with you so that she is not constantly checking herself to avoid potential misunderstandings. After she loosens up around individuals, she becomes more forthcoming and overall they have a much higher chance of seeing the teasing or mischievous spark that will occasionally light up her eyes when she is either poking fun or teasing. With that said, Somi is pretty much outwardly friendly to everyone she meets, but her playfulness only really becomes recognizable to those she chooses to get close to because she tends to be a bit more formal and bashfully polite with strangers. Her sense of humor itself is surprisingly dry, and often focuses on things such as subtlety or irony in situations which tends to catch most people off guard due to the girl looking and otherwise generally acting quite young and almost childlike at times. With the way she speaks however, it is not always readily apparent if she is teasing or not, and because of that Somi will sometimes end up having conversations where the other person may not even realize she is either playfully poking fun at them. (or more realistically, enabling an opportunity for her 100% more unrepentantly savage friends to rip into someone lmao.) This is also especially true for situations wherein Somi may also happen to be rather irate as well but, due to her manner of speaking and interaction, she unintentionally makes it easier to miss the warning signs.

Somi is most certainly not the type of person who enjoys being pressured into doing something, especially in a pressing manner. The girl much prefers being able to just "go with the flow" of things and just follow her gut feeling in most situations. Because of this however, there are times where she can have difficulties making decisive decisions for both herself and when within groups. Admittedly she does usually end up making it harder on herself than it actually needs to be, but if it was up to her, Somi would simply leave the decision making to others. She has never been incredibly decisive upon many things, and as such she is uncomfortable when choices are left up to her, especially if it concerns others besides herself. Even on the smallest of things, she tends to stall for time and often tries to get a feeling for what would be the best course of action to take before committing to a single decision. (Though in most cases it more of her trying to decide what action would make everyone else satisfied rather than actually thinking for herself.) The reason for this is partly because she worries about how others will perceive her actions and words, thus making her strive to make sure she does not unintentionally step on any toes or ruffle any feathers through her actions. One of her biggest flaws is that she is not that great about dealing with her own problems. Somi is notoriously bad with being able to address anything that is explicitly only centered on her. In short, she is something of a coward when it comes to having to face or deal with anything that explicitly only concerns herself or involves her as a major player, she tends to attempt to bury the problem and try to forget about it or simply run away from it and pretend its not there. This generally comes back to bite her in the when things end up becoming even more complicated when allowed to sit and fester instead of just addressing the issue before it gets bigger.
 
background: seo somi was born to a young couple that was already fraying at the edges by the time that they welcomed their second daughter into the world. honestly speaking, somi does not actually remember much of her mother- not enough to divulge to others in any case without feeling decidedly foolish because all she can remember is a light jasmine scent and the soft tickling sensation of long strands of hair that apparently used to commonly escape from the woman’s attempts to pull her hair back. somi’s older sister often recalls of how their parents never seemed quite right together, even in her young eyes at the time. It should prove as little surprise that before somi was even two years old, her mother seemed to hit her wit’s end and literally just up and left- seemingly overnight. If asked, somi can’t exactly say that she is embittered or misses her mother considering how little she does remember, but it was never as if she was ever lacking when it came to familial support- even if it came in the rigid structure from her father, or the loving mentoring from her older sister.

overall, somi had a painfully ordinary and otherwise normal childhood and adolescence. Both Somi and Sojin, her older sister, grew up to be rather independent and self-reliant- especially given how work intensive their father’s job as an investment broker was that required him to pull long hours to continue being their family’s sole bread winner. It certainly helped that once the Seo family moved into their current apartment, the sisters quickly endeared themselves to the neighboring family from the floor above them and made friends with the children of that family that were similar in age to the two Seo girls. somi in particular seemed to surprise both her father and older sister by forging such a fast friendship with the youngest son, Jimin.

Sojin ended up picking up a part time job pretty much the moment that she was legally able to- not necessarily to help out the family, her father’s income and bonuses more than covered their living expenses and food, but for personal spending money for things for both herself and for Somi. While their father claimed to personally prefer some of the more mainstream and “refined” korean bbq establishments that he had visited with some work associates in the past for networking and social purposes, he still humored the requests of his daughters on several occasions when they would request they go out for dinner to Sojin’s workplace on occasion. Despite everything, Pureuda became one of the staple destinations and distinct memories of Somi’s youth- even after her sister quit her job there to go off to university. While initially mildly intimidated by the daughter of Pureuda’s owners, somi ended up having little issue with warming up to and opening up to Lida once the two encountered one another again in high school. Being a part of a group with girls significantly more outgoing and out there personality wise has done wonders for Somi when it comes to interactions in general- after all, not much can really surprise you after spending some quality time with Lida and the other girls.

Somi found herself more or less adopted by Lida into her established friend group once high school began. Though really, she could hardly find the energy to be exhausted by the newer dynamics she was embroiled in academically due to her father having to chosen this time to announce that he one, had been seeing a woman for some time and two, wanted his two daughters to finally meet the woman since he had every intention to propose to her. This revelation ended up surprising Sojin just as much as it did Somi considering how their father had literally displayed zero interest (more like a negative value of interest) in women since his wife and their mother had left over a decade prior. When she did meet Chae Suran, the elder woman seemed initially nervous around her boyfriend’s two daughters who were already young adults in their own rights, but proved to be quite affable and managed to succeed in endearing herself to both of the Seo girls surprisingly quickly. Her father and Suran got married in Somi’s second year of high school, and at current time are expecting their first child!


the news of pureuda’s imminent closing seemed to come out of thin air like a er punch to the face for somi. she had still been basking in the news of her soon going to have a baby brother when Lida’s rather hilarious but nonetheless urgently distressing string of texts to the group chat came in. Pureuda may not hold as much of an impact upon her as it does for Lida for obvious reasons but Somi still associates the familiarity of pureuda as something close to her heart. from the “well loved” grills they use, to that one broken floor tile in the far corner by the jammed window, and just the quaint if not at times cramped interior of the restaurant as something soft and warm from her childhood. It’s like the scent of fading floral jasmine and the phantom brush of long strands of hair for her in the sense of familiarity- only with Pureuda, she has solid memories that she can recall in her mind’s eye and not just emotional impressions based upon stories and accounts of the woman who gave birth to her. She is pretty much immediately on board with Lida’s plan, even if she currently gets flustered and blushes 9000% too easily when it comes to anything even remotely romantic or boy related. (Jimin being an exception because she honestly sees him as more of a big brother than anything else.)
trivia:
- somi, despite all her cinnamon roll too cute for this world bullsh*t (lol) can actually be quite brutal over texts or messengers when it is least expected.
- she likes the side dishes at kbbq, but lets be real, if she is going for kbbq then the important is the MEaaaat. to maximize her eating endeavors she bypasses even a bowl of rice and just opts for the thick rice paper or the lettuce for wraps.
- when she is beginning to get full or is eating something she is not that partial to, somi tends to kind of nibble at it with her front teeth- akin to a rabbit.
- her perfume of choice is a light and floral perfume with distinct notes of jasmine.
- jimin and sojin have been on a mission since she was in middle school to get her to be less self conscious about the light dusting of freckles she has.
- Somi is allergic to cats but adores them- they're just so cute and fluffy and overall generalized little s. <3
- she has always wanted a (real)pet- cat, dog, even a bird or something. She has settled for a low maintenance rock for the time being. (His name is Gustavo Ferdinand... which isn't even something she cannot pronounce but hey she tries.)
- After Gustavo, the closest thing she has to a pet is a potted kenaf plant that her older sister gave to her as a joke the first summer after sojin came back from university. somi has kept "banchan" ever since, often be how everyone's seemingly universal assumption that it is a plant upon first sightings.
- yes, she named her kenaf potted plant weed look-alike after side-dishes.
- has trust issues with umberellas. They always seem to break on her whenever she actually needs one.
- tends to pick up some habits from those close to her- for example, somi tends to gesticulate a good bit which is something she picked up from her friend jimin.
- can and will pause mid-conversation to walk away and approach /ask to pet cute animals.
- adores the steamed egg in the stone bowl side dish but tends to not get one since that detracts from her meat eating capacity.
 
     
     
     
i live for korean barbeque!
seo wonpil (48) / father / ridgid, stubborn, reserved, observant
Somi and her father aren't particularly close to one another- though both hold a value for familial bonds and generalized respect for it. His rather high strung and ordered personality makes him somewhat difficult to be around for extended periods of time, and he has the tendency to harp and nag Somi over small and trivial things that they both know her older sister would have gotten away with. All in all, the two recognize that they are blood and respect the loyalties of family, but beyond that aren't terribly close.
chae suran (37) / step-mother / vivacious, adaptable, quick-witted, loyal
Surprisingly enough, Somi is closer to her new step-mother than her own father to be honest. There's just a compatibility between the two that just seems to make them click. suran seems genuinely fond of her new step daughter, and while she does want to impress and win the younger girl over eventually (not that she really needs to, somi likes her more than enough already to be honest.) the woman isn't making a big deal of going out of her way to avoid seeming too pushy or overbearing. The two are comfortable with one another, and have little issue making small talk or interacting if alone.


seo sojin (23) / big sister / outgoing, blunt, observative, impulsive
The definite social butterfly of the family, Sojin is the light of the Seo family. The young woman is much more free-spirited and outgoing than her younger sister. despite their age difference and differing personalities however, the two siblings actually get along surprisingly well. Sojin is a bright and rather energetic individual who genuinely seems to just love life and the people in it on a generalized level. The two Seo siblings share a close relationship, and Somi usually ends up looking out for her older sister at times so that her more impulsive urges aren't allowed to really get too far out of hand. Sojin likes to think that she knows most of her sister's friends, and displays an endearingly strong protectiveness over her "baby sister
".

geum lida (18) / friend / witty, ambitious, stubborn, caring
​Somi became acquainted with lida shortly after her big sister began working at pureuda part time when she was in the last year of middle school. lida was the high spirited and friendly daughter of the restaurant owners that helped out at the place fairly often- and as such, sojin quickly got to know the girl who was similar in age to her own younger sister. Somi heard lots about lida from her sister before she even got the chance to meet her in the first of countless dinner trips to pureuda. despite the decidedly quieter personality of somi in comparison to the slightly older lida, the two fell in rather quickly once they met again in high school. (after somi's sister had quit working at pureuda after moving away for university.) as true to most of her friendships, it was lida and her already existing friend group that more or less adopted the much more introverted somi in among them. somi is seen as the resident baby of the group, both due to her actual age and also for her much softer personality in comparison to the other girls in their immediate friend group. somi on her part gets a good amount of amusement from her friends and their unspoken ringleader that lida more often than not ends up rising to occasion to be. She is also one of the girls that needed next to no convincing to participate in #operationchinguseducuction due to the multitude of childhood memories associated with the kbbq restaurant even though she is probably one of the ones least suited to this entire endeavor.


park jimin (18) / childhood friend / mischievous, disarming, persistent, snarky
the picture perfect boy next door and childhood friend of Somi pretty much from the moment that her family moved into the same apartment building as his own. despite his sunny disposition and easy smiles, he proves to be somewhat of an unpredictable individual- often looking or saying one thing but usually meaning something else entirely. For the most part jimin keeps a solid hold on his emotions behind his seemingly perpetual smile, disarming those who begin to look too closely with light words, and an even lighter smile. He's playful, affectionate and somewhat clingy towards somi, and she generally just ignores his dramatic actions in a long practiced manner. He's constantly asking her about her ever non-existent love life, grinning as he succeeds in making her cheeks go hot pretty much without fail every time while she in turn usually asks about his current girlfriend... while intentionally naming the fake name he had made up years prior for a fictitious girlfriend when he tried bragging to somi how "popular" he was with the ladies. (he has actually proven to be quite popular with the ladies since puberty hit him like a freight train, but somi intentionally uses the made up one because she loves how flustered the reminder makes him.) 
 
     
     
     
just grill me!
WHAT IS YOUR IDEAL TYPE LIKE? 
"I- um..." her voice trails off uncertainly as she looks around in vain for someone to save her from this inevitable embarassing situation. "Well, I think I would like someone who knows how to have a good time...?" Somi trails off into soft and nervously unsure laughter. "I mean- well... I'm not the most..." she gestures vaguely with her arms rather uselessly. "I think my... person...? would be someone fun and more outgoing than me, though really that isn't too hard..."
WHY DID YOU START LIKING Taehyung?
somi blinked in blatantly flustered surprise, a flush beginning to heat her cheeks. "I- well, it's not like i... ugh..." She huffs in embarrassed exasperation, letting the moments drag out awkwardly as she flounders, hiding her face in her hands as she shakes her head. "This is all jimin's fault. seriously, why am i even friends with that idiot?" she mumbled under her breath as she moved her hands to cover her cheeks in a pathetically poor attempt to hide how flushed they were. "I just... couldn't really help it? Tae ended up being one of the best friends of one of my closest friends and he's always been so friendly and nice to me even after out mortifying first meeting when I low key spilled a pitcher of water on his lap and tried to fix the situation but ended up only making things more awkward when I grabbed some napkins and-" she cuts herself off with a defeated groan. "stupid boys and their stupid good looks with their stupid nice smiles." 
SO WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO WORK AT PUREUDA BARBEQUE, DESPITE getting minimally paid FOR IT? 
The relief at the subject change is clear immediately and somi answers with just about zero hesitation. "because pureuda can't close! sure it's not the snazziest or most high end of places like daddy usually goes to with his coworkers, but there's a charm to it that nowhere else can match!" It is clear how passionate somi is about her opinion. she crosses her arms to avoid continuing to gesticulate as she had begun doing before continuing. "I have so many good memories here with both my family and friends... Lida didn't even need to offer to pay- or ask for that matter. honestly, I'd do this for free if it helps keep pureuda's doors open! 
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT CHINGU BARBEQUE?
somi shrugs. "I don't have anything personally against the owners or people over there and the place itself feels very.... welcoming?." Her tone lilts at the last word, displaying her hesitance clearly before her lips proceed to pull down in a rather cute display of displeasure. "make no mistake though! For the honor of pureuda... they're no chingu of mine."
TELL ME SOMETHING FUNNY.
"something funny huh...?" she blinks in consideration for a moment, her lips pursing into an idle pout as she pondered. "Oh! jimin is completely incapable of reading when doors say push or pull to open." a spark of mischief is apparent in her eyes as a slow grin begins to pull her lips up lopsidedly. "despite the fact that i've done this multiple times, he still takes my word for it when I tell him to push open a clearly marked 'pull to open' door- or vice versa. and even when he does just guess- he's usually wrong, so I get to watch my stupid1 friend faceplant into glass doors constantly." 
     
     
     
i think i'm liking you more than kbbq!
kim taehyung
Love interest: kim taehyung
back-up love interest: park jimin
 
personality traits:
(#swankyaf) -- affable, curious
     duplicitous, competitive -- (#trashpile)

 
personality: Taehyung is well known among the adults around him as being a charming and affable young man. He is the type to offer small talk with the ahjummas at the weekly farmer’s market, the type to put back all of his library books in the correct places after checking them back in instead of leaving them in the go back trolley, and the type to carry the heavy grocery bags for an elderly neighbor. A good amount of people, mostly adults and children, find him to be incredibly likable and friendly. It is simply part of his nature that he is more on the outgoing and naturally friendly side and so Taehyung has developed into a distinctly more social and friendly individual. This trait helps win most people over fairly quickly because of how warm and friendly he seems to be. On the down side of this, sometimes people who are less socially inclined view his antics as being a touch overbearing and overly familiar.

Beneath his smile and charm, Taehyung is also rather duplicitous and very clever. While he is definitely genuinely a more outgoing and social person, he is by no means a saint or nearly as harmless as he would want some to think. He knows how to read and work people well and often makes good use of his more outgoing and social personality to otherwise mask some of his more negative intentions or beliefs since people tend to become accustomed to his loud and excitable ways and do not always end up paying that close of attention to him in the long run. This dark spot developed in him as he was growing up and it became clear that people only seemed to like the sunny disposition and friendliness. On top of being duplicitous, Tae has proven that he can be quite creative and clever as well. A fast thinker, Taehyung is perfectly capable of deducing situations down to establish the best type of response he could benefit from. He knows that you can't always play nice in the game of life- but at least he can make it look like it in any case.

Taehyung is definitely dedicated and stubborn in the manner that once he sets his mind to something, he will certainly complete it to the best of his abilities. This is an easy and common trait seen in most boys his age, and as such it gives him a sense of regularity that people either love or hate about him. Like mentioned before, people either love that this boy is someone that dedicates himself to whatever his cause or goal happens to be and makes sure he meets goals and finishes projects, or hates the fact that he can be so hard headed and absolutely unmovable in his opinions and beliefs unless they are literally then down and destroyed in front of him. Another word that comes to mind when the name Kim Taehyung comes up would be competitive. No one likes losing, and Tae is definitely no exception to that.  Because of his surefire drive and stubbornness, he can prove to be insufferably competitive over the most trivial matters. On the other hand however, he definitely has a hard time giving up on the people he cares about. It rankles him when those aforementioned people decide to give up on themselves before he does. Similarly to his dedicated stubbornness, people tend to either love (or at least begrudgingly respect) his competitive fire, or hate how he takes even the most trivial of shortcomings as a personal challenge to surpass someone besides himself.

Taehyung has, on occasion, been equated to a child in both a positive and negative connotation. The thing that is most fitting for that in his personality is his innate sense of curiosity. He is actually a rather avid learner and student if the opportunity to learn or investigate something unfamiliar to him is presented. Even as a child he was questioning the things around him, “why” being one of the most common words leaving his mouth. This combined with his otherwise excitable and boyish charm, has only led to the strengthening of the image that Taehyung can be passionate at times, but is for the most part harmless. His weakness when it comes to his curiosity is that he has no real limit to it. He is intelligent enough to know when something is a touchy subject or might be dangerous to investigate further, but sometimes he just can’t help it! His ambition to learn can sometimes tip over into the range of “overambitious stupidity”. (direct quote from his father) As touched upon already, Taehyung can also be fairly excitable as well as innately curious. It is easy to rile him up with a subject he is passionate about, and as such this can turn into both a good and a bad thing. To most individuals, Taehyung’s excitability hardly comes as a surprise since he is already so much of a loud and out there type of friendly guy. It fuels his friendly and energetic image. To a select few however, this trait can also be considered an achilles heel since it is one of the tried and tested ways to getting Taehyung to lose his temper. Perhaps in that situation “excitable” would be better defined as “Easily Worked Up”. If someone knew the right buttons to push, then it was almost a surefire guarantee that Taehyung would snap.
 
first meeting: jimin is a terrible friend who brings in one of his close friends to pureuda during one of somi's earlier shifts. it was still fairly empty and lida/her family are already familiar with jimin thanks to he and his family being fairly consistent regulars over the years as well. somi approached the table, relaxed already at the familiarity of jimin engrossed in the telling of some story to his friend, his hands moving rapidly in reflection to his enthusiasm as he spoke. When she came up behind jimin to fill their glasses of water and figure out what meat they wanted brought out first, (brisket. jimin always insists on the brisket as an opener for kbbq) jimin made an especially broad gesture, proceeding to knock the pitcher full of ice water out of somi's hands towards his friend across from him. somi could only stare in horror as both the water and the pitcher itself flew at the other boy in front of her- the water landing and completely soaking his front from the stomach down to his lap and the pitcher itself collided with the side of his face as he twisted in an attempt to avoid it. absolutely mortified, somi grabbed the entire napkin dispenser from the nearest table and begins trying to push stacks of napkins into his lap to try to absorb the water while apologizing over and over like a broken record. Jimin, having temporarily stopped talking out of sheer shock when he had accidentally sent the water pitcher flying, at that point was trying very hard not to dissolve into laughter at somi's borderline panicked motions and Taehyung's bemused expression as he stared at his friend. "So Tae, this is somi. the neighbor and friend I've mentioned that works here."

Taehyung glanced up at somi who was still trying to dry his clothing with the multitude of napkins before a boxy, mischievous grin slowlyspread across his lips. "ah, Somi huh? well, I know i'm hot and all but the water and napkins was a bit over the top if you just wanted to get your hands on me don't you think?"

jimin was pretty much lost at that point- laughing for the next ten minutes so hard that he ended up gasping and half out of his chair by the time he finally began to collect himself. by that time, somi had literally fled away into the kitchen after having pretty much catapulting herself away from taehyung after the insinuation of his words had managed to sink into her already flustered mind.
interactions: Taehyung's first impression of somi, igoring the fact that he got smacked in the face with a water pitcher and high key soaked with ice water, was that she was frick-fracking adorable and would be lots of fun to tease. he wasn't exactly subtle in his interest and friendliness once he and jimin managed to convince her that the ground would not in fact open up under her feet to swallow her if she happened to see taehyung again. he thoroughly enjoys teasing her and seeing how far he can push her before she either melts into an embarassed cesspool of emotions or snaps and actually sends some snark back at him. the first time he had managed to get her to do so shocked him just as much as it did jimin and even somi herself as well, while that is much less common, it is certainly much more entertaining given the banter that gets tossed between them. Taehyung finds that he particularly enjoys pushing his luck with somi when she (very awkwardy) drops by chingu bbq sometimes while he is working- especially since he more or less figured out what is going on by the second visit or so, so he liked seeing how far somi would be willing to go before nerves or embarassment got the better of her. he later ends up growing to be surprised with how comfortable he is in her presence- even more so than jimin who is arguably one of his best friends. At first he viewed somi as something fun to play around with- to tease, but as he spent more time with her he felt less and less inclined to view her as just another fleeting and unimportant face that passed through his life. he enjoys her company and has come to realize that this girl is probably a tad too trusting for her own good sometimes- and as cringe worthy as it is, he has come to realize that he actually seems to be developing some protective tendencies when it comes to her. 

"Oh god, I really am going soft for her aren't I?"
"yes, and the sky is blue. the ocean is deep."
"shut up jimin"

Somi on the other hand has absolutely zero chill or subtlty when it comes to her feelings- especially romantically inclined ones. honestly though she is more scared of messing up the burgeoning friendship with Taehyung and also potentially straining the one with jimin by trying to pursue something she wasn't even sure taehyung would even be interested in to actually pursue anything so instead she sort of just.... blunders along very obviously crushing on Taehyung. even after she (and lida+the others) find out he actually works at chingu bbq, somi is too at acting to be of any real "sabotaging" help- and everyone knows it. (lol)  she views his developing feelings as nothing more than him being a protective dudebro since she is pretty much like a little sister to one of his close friends and because he is actually a decent guy who looks out for his friends.

tl;;dr -- they're both stupid and obviously like each other/are beginning to catch feelings. but because of reservations due to their individual personalities, the both of them seem to be holding themselves back.
ending: honestly speaking, you can decide. I do want them to get together, but the both of them are pretty dumb for various reasons, so i can see this never really fully developing into anything. really though, if you end up choosing somi, you can decide to go along with whatever you feel fits best with the story that unfolded. 
 
   
     
     
     
anything else?
comments? questions? Anything! : holy jeebus i did a large majority of this app in two sittings mainly and a lot of useless floundering sessions in between. LOL. but yup, it looks like i ended up writing a novel with her so i am so sorry omfg. i hope this app isn't boring on top of long. ;;;; This love interest section is one giant mess- it ain't even a hot mess- it's just a mess. ;; __ ;; I feel like some things need expanding but I'm not sure how to address them. OTL;;;
Also, out of curiosity, what does Pureuda mean?? 
oh, and all the outfit refs are from a really talented insta artist called "kaiami" 
scene suggestions :
- "the seduction thing was a joke!" lida/any of the other girls exclaim in despair when they realize how gone somi is for tae and vice versa. lmao.
- one of Tae's co-workers calling him and somi the star-crossed bbq lovers.
- jimin being an enabling instigator for the two of them while they are still dancing around each other- and then a ing troll after they start flirting more- (aka tae flirting and somi embarassing herself more like.)
- Boy talk among the girls at pureuda~
- Taehyung walking his pet dog (Soonshim) one night on his day off by the two restaurants and somi high key loses her because: "it's so fluffy and white and cute omfg how precious as if i needed any more reason to like you ugh can i please pet him omgggg-"
- somi or even lida later trying to convince tae to come work at pureuda instead of thier competitor since he has flat out stated that chingu bbq is just a part time job cause he wants spending money and liked the free food.
