YEO, ISEUL

just your everyday ordinary girl with some quirks... okay, a lot of quirks 
clueless on where her life is heading ; probably going downhill
and sink into the depths of hell if she isn't already in it yet
WHO IS YEO ISEUL? 


BIRTHNAME
 yeo, iseul 여이슬
NICKNAMES 
SEUL — her most used nickname with it being derived from her given name which just about everyone uses and iseul allows. another option is to use "seuli" which tends to be used by those close to her for a more "cute" and endearing effect however, another way iseul interprets it is that whenever people use that alternative nickname, she is 60% sure that they are going to end up asking her to do them a favour.
 
HOE-SEUL — iseul originally nicknamed herself as that since she pretty much hit puberty, in moments where she is in boy-crazy and thirsty ert mode, usually done to scold herself but friends have gradually ended up calling her that especially when they happen to be with her and they happen to spot someone whom iseul would find attractive. iseul would often tell them to shut up especially when "hoe-seul" is activated in public.
 
LAVA GIRL — have you seen her hair? it is similar to lava girl and with that questionable temper of hers, it soon became a nickname for her created by her best friends, oh seojun and kim jongjin since she dyed her hair, particularly when greeting her or when he knows she is about to blow up. "hey, lava girl!" "why not princess or something more endearing like baby?" "because everyone knows that once you're called that a bit too much, you will call everyone your peasant. plus, i already called you 'princess'  many times like last time, it was when you were crying at 4am due to some sad ending in one of your drama—" "fine, then i'll call you shark boy" "that's fine with me. he's played by taylor lautner, right? so, you're technically saying that i'm attractive" "if anything, i look more like shark boy than you" "oh god, kill me now"
 
BIRTHDAY (AGE) 27.11.1997 ( 20 )
BIRTHPLACE seoul, south korea.
HOMETOWN seoul, south korea.
ETHNICITY korean. 
NATIONALITY korean.

LANGUAGES
NATIVE KOREAN — a born and bred seoulite so, there really should not be any shock with her speaking so fluently in the language. 
 
SEMI-FLUENT ENGLISH — up to a good high-school level standard however, with her pronunciation, one may believe that she used to live abroad in an anglophone country. her parents have been so shocked with how good her english results were. "i told them that me watching those 'dumb cliché western tv drama series' would come into good use!"

BASIC JAPANESE — yeo iseul, when she had been younger, had gone into an anime phase for a few years, most of her knowledge on phrases and vocabulary coming from predominantly romantic shoujo animes with some shounen. not very useful for when it comes to travelling and making a genuine conversation but good enough to know when insults are being hurled or if she comes to the chance of dating someone who is japanese.

BACK-UP FACE CLAIMS jung chaeyeon 정채연, dia or jung soojung 정수정, f(x)



APPEARANCE around 165 centimetres tall with a lithe figure, reminding one of a ballerina which is pretty accurate with iseul's mother having forced her into ballet when she was eight years old and stopped when she was fifteen years old. often described to give a "luxurious" kind of beauty and fitting many standards of her native country such as her fair and clear skin (maintained by a strict twelve-step skincare routine), doe-like eyes (etc.) she could definitely pull off the sweet innocent girl next door kind of vibe if it wasn't for her hair with iseul having recently dyed it into a colour which collides with shades of reds, purples and pinks. can be considered to have feline-like charms which immediately shifts into something puppy-like when she is smiling.

a very notable thing to mention is that iseul is short-sighted however, isn't fond of wearing her circular glasses and only puts them on when necessary such as class lectures, doing long essays (etc.) or in more private settings so if one happens to spot her "glaring" at you in public, it's not that she doesn't like you, it's just that she is squinting to see things clearer... most of the time.

 
STYLE yeo iseul goes for the casual less is more approach with her fashion taste, simplicity being key but also practicality which is why one wouldn't normally find iseul with much jewellery on her or wearing something inappropriate for the weather. if her outfit happens to end up being quite flashy, iseul had most likely been styled by one of the coordis. iseul prefers wearing some trainers, jeans as well as some blouse or t-shirt which usually ends up being tucked into her jeans to accentuate her proportions.

her ensemble isn't complete without a tote bag, wristlet or backpack with her personal belongings. her clothes colour palette tend to be in neutral, primary and some pastel shades with her not being so fond of neon colours. her style is more "covered up" especially for her upper half where she would hardly ever wear tank tops or tops which dip down and in turn, end up exposing one's cleavage. contrary to popular belief, iseul's style isn't the most girly and feminine.

here we have opinions and anecdotes given to you on yeo iseul by family members, friends and more... some who have contributed to this more than once.
 
ONE — "she's pretty normal until she opens , and that is when you realise that she's a bit... odd and practically with no restraints. even when you feel like backing out from her, it's already too late for she pretty much has you wrapped up around her finger."
 
TWO"yeo iseul? she knows just about everyone but then again, she tends to be the one who goes out a lot. she knows everyone and everything a bit too much that it wouldn't be shocking at all if the main source of gossip that spreads around campus came from her!"

THREE"worked on some group project with her back in highschool and let me tell you... she is the worst! she was the leader and she does not stick to a plan whatsoever! like we were three quarters finished with creating our presentation and that was when she decided,'oh, let's change our subject topic to this one instead!' like urgh!! make up your mind, woman! sure, her passion in people and stuff may be very admirable but she easily gets bored, and that leads to the constant change of thoughts! nevertheless... we got an a for it at the end..."
 
FOUR — "a huge flirt. by the way, do you happen to know whether oh seojun is taken? likes guys—?"
 
FIVE"dare her to do something and there's a high probability that she would do it. never ever underestimate her... do you know how much money i had to owe her that one night? i should've known better especially with knowing of how she always had been the travelling type, swam with sharks, went skydiving..."
 
SIX"that girl believes she knows everything and won't admit that she's wrong. that girl will fight you. sure, she has a brave face but just about everyone knows she gets easily hurt and in the end, she often would come and 'cry' to me. yeo iseul is a huge softie at the end of the day, a teddy bear — can be pretty adorable at times..."
 
SEVEN"cheated on monopoly and uno a few years back and iseul later found out and still won't let it go because she's a bitter—"

❖ SOME BACKGROUND INFO ON YEO ISEUL 
 
parents with high expectations with wanting iseul and her younger sister by two years, yeo seulbi to become either doctors or lawyers, something which seems to be a bit of a tradition within her family. despite being the older sibling, iseul had always been known to be more "difficult" to work with as well as not as academically talented as seulbi so, her parents always really favoured her more and most of iseul's earlier youth have been filled with trying to get more of her parents' attention and with her efforts, they have become incredibly proud when iseul ended up receiving a full scholarship to seoul national university to do medicine.

however, after three months of studying, she really couldn't handle the course and dropped out with her having ended up moving to hongik university, applying for education loans for her to study and major in something she is more good at, art and to be more considerate towards her parents, iseul decided to minor in advertising and public relations so to have something more "practical". although she enjoys them, iseul is still very much unsure of what she wants to be doing once she graduates.
 
she never did tell her parents about the course switch but when they did find out, they were furious and pretty much are on no-speaking terms with her with her parents also deciding to kick her out and return to them once she gets her head "hit" again and come back to the "right" decision which in turn caused her to find somewhere new to live which happens to be the share home. prior to having applied for the home stay, iseul had been temporarily living in the flat seojun and jongjin shared, sleeping on the couch.
 
additionally, her parents have stopped giving her extra allowance money but fortunately, she happens to have an uncle who adores her to pieces who was more than willing in offering her some monthly allowance.

❖ WEEKLY SCHEDULE OF YEO ISEUL 
 
AS A UNIVERSITY STUDENTiseul majors in art with her minoring in advertising and public relations and luckily, compared to her previous timetable, has classes three days a week which are on mondays, tuesdays and wednesdays from 10am to 4pm, something she considers a blessing for she takes a little over an hour on getting ready especially with the amount of time she takes showering for that (as well as having breakfast) is the only way she is able to end up looking and acting refreshed the whole day. last year, do you think she naturally comes into 8am classes looking all cheery with a smile across her face?
 
her breaks in between are often spent continuing on with some project in need of completion thus one may find her in an art studio or computer suite, or if she isn't so busy, one would find yeo iseul having lunch at a local café or restaurant with friends. when classes finish, iseul would often go on a little outing by herself or with friends specifically the other 2/3 of the "golden trio" oh seojun and kim jongjin the most may it be at some shopping centre, cinema (etc.) before iseul ends up returning back home, between 9pm-11pm where iseul would most likely use her laptop to watch something or read a book. there is a reason why she tends to do a lot of her work at university and it is that whenever she arrives home, she always gets herself into a procrastinating mood especially with the kind of antics her room mates get into which she may or may not want to join and be a part of.
 
AS A PART-TIME WORKERsince iseul doesn't have financial support from her parents, iseul has ended up applying for a part-time job as a waitress in hongdae at the sheep-themed "thanks nature cafe" thrice a week usually on wednesdays, thursdays and sundays working from 6pm-10pm on wednesdays whilst on thursdays and sundays, she would be working from 11am to 5pm. she likes conversing with customers as she takes their orders however, her most favourite task is when the manager lets her tend to the cute sheep they have for customers to interact with. yes, her uncle did give her a generous sum of money for her monthly allowance (some of which help with the rent) but she decided to take up a part-time job due to the fact that many of her friends tend to be busy and iseul tends to be the type who gets easily bored and would want to have something to keep her occupied. plus, she gets extra money so, that doesn't hurt.
 
LEISURE TIMEin her free time, yeo iseul has quite a lot of options such as: shopping may it be online or physically going out, go to a location where some fansign, concert, film, drama or variety show shooting is to be taken place around seoul (usually dragging someone along with her), reading some novel (some of which being not the most professional /cough/fanfiction/cough/) or poetry or exploring some new place she heard of which may be worthy of taking pictures of to post on her instagram or give her some art inspiration. iseul can also be spotted at parties usually by some area socialising with others whilst having a drink or two with her not being the type to dance but... she can sing decently and would sometimes give a little performance.
 
one must also not forget that she's a bit of the flirty type and would go on a date or two with some boy from university once every two weeks where straight after she would tell people close enough to her all about it may it be her having a list of complaints or a list of praises. more often than not, yeo iseul's free time is spent with her roommates, friends (etc.) but that doesn't mean she hates alone time. her alone time is usually in the mornings or late evenings where she would have something therapeutic like napping or having a bubblebath for instance.
 
monthly, iseul receives either a text message or phone call from her younger sister, seulbi who questions on behalf of their parents on whether iseul went back to doing medicine as well as having small chat on how they are doing. iseul and her sister may argue a whole load and get into some physical fights (in their earlier youth anyway) but they do have their moments...

TRIVIA
 
ONE — whenever iseul spots someone really attractive, if you're in close enough proximity to her, you may hear her mutter that they're "daddy material" or be singing her own rendition of "jesus take the wheel". yes... she may or may not be af (her knowledge on the kinds of kinks out there is very questionable) as well as shameless. she checks people out with her best friend, oh seojun.
 
TWOiseul still has not grown out of the "teddy bear" stage with iseul still having the need to cling onto her winnie the pooh bear plushie (something in which had been gifted to her since she was born) at night.
 
THREE she cannot cook to save her own life. like seriously, she once thought that you could make boiled egg by putting it in the microwave and the egg just exploded. .. and there was the other time with the kettle... yeah... don't let her into the kitchen.
 
FOUR — people collect stamps, rocks, dolls... iseul collects (or what some say, hoard) notebooks and notepads, something in which she holds high pride and protectiveness over, her collection growing just about every week with some of the stationery having been bought abroad. she knows each one's price, where and when she bought it. there had been one time when her younger sister took one of her notebooks and drew on it, and when iseul found out, her younger sister had been greeted with a huge hard slap to the back of the head. 

FIVEone does not need an alarm when you have yeo iseul around for one would hear her singing obnoxiously to tunes new and old as well as in different languages as she showers and gets ready to go out especially for classes. the thing is that she can sing really nicely when she wants to but once she's in the shower, it's an overly dramatic concert in there. most sung song would probably be "versace on the floor" by bruno mars, sometimes changing it to something like "rip-off on the floor" since she is a college student and probably won't be affording any designer brands with her own money even if she ends up paying back her student loans after graduating.
 
SIX — practically goes on a date with a guy every week but does not really "date" with her being low-key afraid of commitment because before you know it, she may end up being stuck in a prison called "marriage" with the handcuffs being the "rings". she isn't really the type looking for anything serious but any mention of marriage and children and she will freak out. the longest she probably dated someone was like a week?
 
SEVEN — she fears insects, even things considered "harmless" such as ladybirds and butterflies. even back in her early childhood, if she spotted a bug in her room, she would dash out and have her parents get rid of it but they never did it straight away so, the couch downstairs in her living room would end up becoming her temporary bed. that kind of reaction is still seen today.
 
EIGHT — iseul happens to have hay fever (pollen allergy) so flowers indoors and windows open during pollen season is a big no no. her eyes tend to get watery and itchy, headaches, tiredness and more, and from personal experience, medication doesn't work that well on her.
 
NINEthe queen of fidgeting; that girl cannot stop moving. looks to be sitting still? most likely shaking her leg or playing with her hands. she can be sitting down for like a good ten minutes before standing up and walking around the room for like half an hour before repeating the same routine. the most still she has been would be when she is sleeping and curled up into a ball. it's a wonder how she can sit through her class lectures!
 
TENin terms of sns, she tends to be the most active on snapchat and instagram, her account names both being @yeouiseul. her instagram is simply filled with aesthetics from clothing, location, products she purchases (etc.) which gives her a following of nearly 100k (which she believes some only follow her because of seojun and jongjin), making her slightly famous especially with some sponsored products she receives but her snapchat is a different story, more private with only friends having access to it with her often taking screenshots of friends and then posting up funny captions with them. with texting, she is incredibly fast and often when people don't reply fast enough, would add more replies or spam them all if the subject matter is important.
 
ELEVENa carnivorous eater, and isn't fond of eating vegetables and the only times she would willingly eat vegetables if they're in sushi, mixed with meat or is part of a fried rice dish. she remembers a childhood memory when her mother ended up somehow being able to hide vegetables inside her fries; she felt so betrayed.
 
TWELVEk-pop fangirl with iseul also being slightly addicted to k-dramas, and there have been occasions when she would call the university and tell them that she is "ill" when in fact, she had attended some fansign, concert, film shooting (etc.)
 
THIRTEEN an absolute skinship monster however, if she ain't doing the first move, she'll look at you as though you're crazy. she is awkward when people do it to her.
 
FOURTEENyes, she drinks at least once or twice a week and she easily gets drunk. when inebriated, iseul would end up blabbing about random facts, usually around greek and roman mythology before turning into the clingy and crying drunk who usually whines about wanting to receive more love from her parents and for her younger sister to be nicer to her.
 
FIFTEENknown for stretching a lot with her having a habit of "cracking" bones especially with her having hypermobility. many find the sounds off-putting whilst iseul initially gets surprised before shrugging it off. she finds it rather therapeutic. but honestly, she is so easily startled by noise.
 
SIXTEENconsiders herself a pro at games, her vocabulary being its most colourful when playing card and board games as well as survival horror games. the ironic thing with that is that iseul, although a complete film buff, cannot stand watching horror films and would get extremely paranoid after watching. she prefers old hollywood films or action-comedy with hints of romance usually.
 
SEVENTEENthat girl has a mood during the month or week where she just wants to cry and feel sad for reasons she doesn't even know herself and so she would be listening to sad music, read angsty stories, watch sad scenes (etc.) through her macbook or iphone. she sometimes chooses the worst times to cry like around 3am where some people would be sleeping and they would hear iseul sniffing and whimpering like a puppy.
 
EIGHTEENyeo iseul cannot stand weather above 25 degrees celsius. she hates sweating and that is why she cannot stand summer weather and would normally prefer staying indoors with the air conditioner and will just go out when it's around 5pm, 6pm. she's at her most irritable during that season. her family is more or less the same on their tolerance towards heat thus why many of her summer holidays spent with family in her youth were in countries with colder climates.
 
NINETEENwhen thinking deeply, nervous, frustrated, accomplished something or feeling quite cheeky, iseul would briefly stick her tongue out a slight bit.
 
TWENTYquotes from shakespeare plays and poems as well as cult films such as fight club and heathers whenever she has the chance. she also quotes from musicals.
 
TWENTY ONE her room... well, she claimed to have the part of the room with the window since she likes having a nice view but at the same time hates light entering in the morning and forgets to open the curtains. her room is rather neat although one can argue that a certain corner is scattered with art supplies. she has pictures stucks on the wall, mostly of her and friends but also postcards which contains areas she travelled to or of artwork. as  a stationery , her stationery as well as books are proudly displayed on a shelf with some in simple yet decorative boxes. many tend to describe the aesthetics of her room giving some retro/vintage vibes with a hint of art hoe with many commenting how they like her addition of the neon lights.
 
❖ SH!T YEO ISEUL SAYS 
"don't worry, i make myself cringe, too", "just push out all the negativity in your life—" "oh, so can i push you then?", "it is a hobby, not a problem!", "death doesn't seem so bad... at least i won't have any student debts to pay off""please, if i wanted to disappoint two people at the same time, i would just have dinner with my parents", "i lost my pride and dignity years ago, sweetheart", "sleep is for the weak and i... am weak", "(s)he looks like such a dad... take me now", "if you hit yourself and it hurts, does it mean that you're strong or that you're weak?", "are you asking to be killed?", "you touch it; you pay for it", "i have eyes and ears everywhere", "i am so going to meme this", "hoe-seul, stop being so thirsty—you are better than this!", "left-handed people such as myself are not evil!", "well, me gently with a chainsaw", "i think i see a ghost..."  "really?" "yeah, you. you're dead to me", "i can't adult"
RELATIONSHIPS 
 KIM, YONGSUN 
tumblr_o34nnxwug21uun6svo4_250.png
well, at first since yongsun happen to practically be the owner of the house, iseul initially put in much effort to be well-behaved to an extent and make sure any extra weirdness of hers should be kept concealed but they conversed more, and iseul pretty much can't shut up around her. two people without filters around the house... great. iseul can deal with "scary"; yeo iseul has had experience living with her younger sister, yeo seulbi for sixteen years but iseul's afraid that one day, will run so fast and blurt out things which may actually get her kicked out one of these days. iseul considers yongsun to be the type of person who is fun to be around until you piss her off, sort of similar to the stereotypical cool mother. one has no idea how many times iseul have accidently called yongsun "eomma" rather than "unnie".
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 LEE, TAEYONG 
tumblr_o34nnxwug21uun6svo4_250.png
on iseul's first impression of him, probably the first thing she remembered thinking was, "who are you and where do you shop?" for she found his fashion sense to be goals. another thought was, "oh, he might be one of those strong but silent types" and she might probably scare him off with how "out there" she can get especially with how she initially thought that taeyong was younger than her thus leading to iseul treating him fondly like a younger brother until he or someone else suddenly mentions that he is actually older than her therefore causing some embarrassment on her part. iseul is one of the few tenants who does not mind him being a "neat freak" since she isn't particularly fond of mess herself but if he starts telling her to clean up mess that isn't hers, she is leaving the room.
 
 YANG, MINSUN 
tumblr_o34nnxwug21uun6svo4_250.png
yeo iseul finds her to be girl crush material and one would most likely find iseul playfully flirting with her especially since becoming a tenant under the share house.  there are times when iseul would be found in room #2 instead of her actual room due to how iseul likes conversing with her. iseul never really had much close friends who were girls especially back in middle school and highschool since she hung out with jongjin, seojun and their friends (practically a huge sausage fest) with the most contact closest to a friendship which she had with a girl of around her age would be the ex-girlfriends they had which ended up being short-lived. iseul considers misun to be like her wife with iseul having a tendency to cuddle and cling onto the older girl like a koala.
 
 OH, SEOJUN 
tumblr_o34nnxwug21uun6svo4_250.png
their families have been long-time friends and neighbours so, oh seojun and yeo iseul have practically been stuck with each other as best friends since they were in nappies. seojun can be just as chatty as iseul with this dynamic duo being so well-known for their light-hearted (and irritating) bickering, making them sound like an old married couple. in turn, it causes many people to believe that they are dating specifically with this flirtatious streak they have going on. even when she claims that he has a tendency of "bullying" her, oh seojun always has her back with the boy also having a knack of spoiling her a bit too much which makes many question how rich his family actually is. iseul is extremely possessive protective of him and tends to make the oh so powerful decision on whether she finds you worthy of even dating him. majoring in architecture at hongik university, iseul and seojun tend to be spotted together during breaks, too. she considers her best friend to be her s(e)oulmate and someone whom she could "borrow" shirts from despite being over-sized. she can't stop having a relationship with him for, one, he knows too much and two, his dog loves her and the feeling is very much mutual. also, seojun knows about her crush on jongjin and is helping her out but if things don't work out, the pair have thought that, hey, they're most likely going to be single forever so, they might as well marry each other in the end. she ain't complaining—she knows him well and... she really finds him attractive.
 
 YEO, SEULBI 
tumblr_o34nnxwug21uun6svo4_250.png
meet yeo iseul's younger sister who just about everyone could agree on as being the smarter and prettier out of the yeo siblings. seulbi may seem like a demure and filial around many particularly adults but people such as yeo iseul would know that her younger sister is practically the spawn of satan where a lot of iseul's childhood memories involved seulbi-who was the youngest-bullying and hitting her as well as knocking her confidence down, you know... as siblings with small s tend to do, and like with all siblings, they tend to share similar interests and habits thus having some good moments where they can joke about. ever since iseul practically got kicked out by their parents, seulbi would secretly contact her or sometimes even visit her which tend to end with seulbi attempting to reveal embarrassing stories about iseul and eventually getting kicked out by her. hot and cold. cat and dog.
 
 
 HEO, SEONTAEK 
tumblr_o34nnxwug21uun6svo4_250.png
iseul's probably his biggest fangirl. upon their first meeting, anyone could practically tell that iseul had been blown away by his visuals and physique and was (or is) probably thirsty in wanting him with his shirt off. iseul doesn't fail in creating a new 'nickname' of the day for him which links to the fact of how attractive he is. additionally, she finds him as being one of the most fun to flirt with as well as converse to especially when drinking together...well, that is until she ends up drunk and becomes an emotional wreck with him then having to take care of her and prevent her from doing something daft before feeling slightly guilty and apologising to him the next day especially since he happens to have such a hectic work schedule. whenever iseul is in the mood to try and cook something (which is almost always a bad idea), iseul would either get him to supervise or end up getting advice may it be in person or through the phone, and later debate on whether to let him try what she cooked or attempted to cook in fear she may end up food-poisoning him. iseul also likes to take photos of or with him.
 
 GO, YOONHUI 
tumblr_o34nnxwug21uun6svo4_250.png
iseul either ends up wanting to join in yoonhui's antics or wanting to strangle her particularly when yoonhui decides to play her guitar loudly and scream at the top of her lungs whenever iseul just wants to relax or when yoonhui refuses to lend her the remote so she can watch something completely different from yoonhui's taste. whenever visiting yoonhui's shared room with misun, although not being most fond of cleaning, would try to get the girl to clean and if she doesn't, iseul would end up giving the room a little bit of a clean. both share the same fear of commitment however, iseul has a little thing of wanting to play 'cupid', wanting to set her up with someone as well as giving some relationship advice which may not be the best coming from someone whose relationships don't last long. at the same time, iseul likes to and does this by mentioning/using jaesung.
 
 ONG, SEUNGRYONG 
tumblr_o34nnxwug21uun6svo4_250.png
compared to some of the other housemates, it seems pretty clear that seungryong and iseul aren't the closest with iseul not sure whether he views her positively or negatively, or if she may be too much for him. however, one can definitely see iseul wanting to be closer to him. when working in the thanks nature cafe, iseul would be talking almost non-stop with him and such, for example. like with almost every housemate, seungryong is no exception to her flirting ways and teasing which at times she believes makes him very uncomfortable. it doesn't help that there would be occasions where some of iseul's ig followers notice her whilst at work and they would sometimes assume that they're 'dating'.
 
 KIM, JUNGWON 
tumblr_o34nnxwug21uun6svo4_250.png
one could practically consider kim jungwon and yeo iseul to almost be one and the same with how similar they are with how they're overshadowed by their siblings, practically have the same major and the fact that they're fiery-headed. a day or a week isn't complete without hearing them bicker, most likely over iseul's choice of diet and her refusal to eat vegetables which she always says is a lie and that instead, she's just picky. iseul secretly would eat some of his 'vegan' dishes which some she finds decent—whenever, he finds some of his 'food' missing, he doesn't really expect her to be the one taking them. iseul would be found trolling and teasing him most particularly when he's filming something for his youtube channel with iseul also mentioning her ig u/n for his subscribers to follow. compared to the other boys, she just doesn't flirt with him and it's probably due to the fact that she may or may not see him affectionately as an annoying older brother figure deep deep down.
 
 CHOI, OKYEON 
tumblr_o34nnxwug21uun6svo4_250.png
one of her roommates and whenever iseul looks at okyeon, iseul can't help but to look at her with envy and admiration with how amazing her pieces of art is which would sometimes secretly make iseul feel as though her work isn't good enough. iseul also finds it amusing how she ended up transferring from snu to hongik whilst okyeon transferred from hongik to snu, both having changed their majors as well. one would find iseul slightly pestering hinting at okyeon to do a painting of her. iseul would sometimes be found visiting okyeon at the vintage shop she works part-time in. whenever iseul finds herself with okyeon, iseul unconsciously ends up toning down from her usual disposition and act a bit more calmly? iseul would like to say she's rather close with okyeon with iseul spending quite a lot of time with her and kina as they share the same room and would sometimes be found on some outing around seoul, usually something in which iseul instigated. like the skinship monster she is, iseul would also be leaning her head onto okyeon's shoulder (etc.) at the same time, iseul sort of wishes that okyeon be more 'open'.
 
 LEE, SIWOO

both skilled in communication, it doesn't really take that long for them to start a conversation on just about any topic. similarly, they happen to be rather blunt and straightforward and so one should expect iseul to easily accept and not mind blunt remarks from siwoo however, she does sometimes get a bit hurt slightly especially in times when she doesn't know whether what he's saying is meant to be a joke or an actual statement. iseul likes to play games with siwoo and gets ultra competitive particularly in games she believes she definitely has the upper hand in. iseul almost always complains about his extremely long snapchat stories and spamming in the group chat and such. furthermore, iseul sometimes has this thing of butting into siwoo's work particularly concerning what he studies for law and "correcting" it for having grown up with many relatives as lawyers (as well as doctors) made her learn many things...
 CHOI, SARANG 
tumblr_o34nnxwug21uun6svo4_250.png
iseul acts as though she's not even the slightest bit scared or intimidated by sarang even though she actually is a bit. she covers it pretty well, continuing on acting very playful when she's around him like with other tenants. iseul never really talks one to one much with him despite the fact she holds so many questions in her head about him which she wants answered and it's pretty obvious by how she stares at him, her eyes squinting in curiosity.
 
 SHIN, KINA 
tumblr_o34nnxwug21uun6svo4_250.png
upon meeting kina, iseul almost immediately ended up babying her due to how cute and adorable she found her to be although iseul was slightly puzzled at first for kina didn't look as though she was of the age to be allowed to live in the share home. iseul would often greet kina by lightly pinching her baby-like cheeks. due to kina and her hard-core love for anime and such, iseul would sometimes be found re-watching some of her old favourite animes or watching some new anime series with the two sometimes be heard talking for who knows how long on it. however, there are moments when iseul would find kina to be a bit too much to handle. iseul also worries about her ramen intake and would sometimes end up hiding kina's ramen, usually in another tenant's room, probably jungwon's for who would think that he—wait. never mind. like with okyeon and others, iseul also visits the place where kina works in part-time. iseul feels proud and worried with how well she understand kina's anime references...
LOVE INTEREST


BIRTHNAME kim, jongjin 여이슬
NICKNAME(S) 
JJONG — a mix between part of his given name and "jjang", something in which he is affectionately called by family and close friends. some people such as his mother, seojun and iseul, they like calling him "jjongie" which he finds rather embarrassing especially when they decide to call him that in public areas with them sometimes going ahead to "baby" him such as pinching his cheeks.

LOVERBOY, HUSBAND (ETC.) — the many nicknames which seojun has referred to jongjin as with iseul behind his back since he succeeded in getting a confession out of her when they graduated highschool on how iseul has romantic feelings towards jongjin. seojun is just as daring as iseul when it comes to being risky or trying new stuff and yes, seojun had attempted at calling jongjin that and seeing whether he would get caught, moments when iseul would practically be on the verge of getting a heart attack. "lava girl, loverboy is heading this way!" "shut up!" "ow! that hurts!" "he doesn't need to know that i still have feelings towards h—" "guys, it isn't even noon yet and you two are fighting... what are you even fighting about?"

ANONYMOUS REPORTS ON KIM JONGJIN 
here we have opinions and anecdotes given to you on kim jongjin by family members, friends and more... some who have contributed to this more than once.
 
ONE — "for someone who is practically the smartest out of us, kim jongjin is an idiot... very slow-witted in noticing jokes, reading the atmosphere and ."
 
TWO"when he was little, he was really shy and quiet but ever since we moved to seoul and he ended up befriending those two kids, he had become slightly more... open? like he is more capable of initiating conversation and playing around although it can sometimes get quite frustrating? he's still a baby to us though with how he sort of needs approval from others and wanting to not do anything wrong..."

THREE"his work ethic is amazing. he completely indulges into his work and doesn't stop until he accomplishes it perfectly. one can clearly see the amount of passion and loyalty he gives into the things and people he clearly seems to care deeply on! he is very careful and isn't one to really act out of impulse but i sometimes wish he can let loose with some thoughts and feelings which may be best to share? he can be a bit too hard on himself as well as others which some people have complained about when working with him and other situations with jongjin critically analysing stuff so much to the point that things get barely done sometimes. can be hard-headed."
 
FOUR"isn't really the type to be so fond of conflict but when he does get involved, he gets rather scary... there are times when it isn't so obvious so you would think that things are fine between you but his behaviour gradually progresses in a way where the atmosphere just goes rather awkward and... hostile?"
 
FIVE — "he's older... by a few months, anyway and he fits the role of being like... the parent? the dad in being able to take care of us yet being rather firm and stern too? or what iseul likes to call dadd—"
 
WRITTEN AESTHETICS OF KIM JONGJIN 
the contrast between a seductive smirk and a dorky laugh, dancing when no one is watching, late night outings, the feeling of bare feet on a cold floor, meaningful compliments, sudden realisations, melted chocolate, the subtle scent of cologne stuck on clothing, heaps of scrunched paper accumulating in a room, that strand of hair that falls onto one's face, puzzle pieces fitting together, books with creased spines, bear hugs, city lights, congratulatory pat on the back.

CURRENT STATUS friends of over ten years (in jongjin's perspective), friendzoned by jongjin (in iseul's perspective)

LOVE STORY & ENDING 
 
❖ ACT I : THE PAST 
 
kim jongjin had been around eight years old when he and his family ended up moving to seoul from suncheon in the south jeolla province due to his father, a businessman being promoted to work in the seoul branch of the company he worked for. personally, jongjin had never really been fond of the idea of moving away from home especially with him fearing that he won't ever fit in and make any friends.
 
on the first day of school, he had awfully been quiet with him barely even speaking and usually being found at some corner by himself. he didn't really have the heart to interact with others with him having observed that many of the kids in class already belonged in some friendship group, and it didn't help that he and his family ended up moving to seoul in the middle of the school year.
 
a week or so later, iseul and seojun have returned to school after fully recovering from chicken pox (with them still arguing to this day on who got it first if the topic of illness is ever mentioned) with them being surprised at the fact that there was someone new sitting at their table in class. jongjin had been rather startled when he heard two voices greeting and sitting by him, and had become even more surprised by the amount of questions spurting out of their mouths one after the other for him. nevertheless, he answered and conversed with them, and by the end of the week, he has become comfortable with them, having formed a close friendship with the pair which has then become a trio.
 
growing up together involved a lot of visiting each others' homes, going on outings where some have been holidays abroad with their families, sleepovers, constant teasing, bickering and skinship and more. it was almost impossible to find them so far apart from each other. when they were found in some fueled argument (which was quite rare), well, iseul responded by being quiet and avoiding them, jongjin was more of the passive aggressive hostile type whilst seojun responded by well continuing on arguing until they all have enough of it and returning back to being friends, all happy as if nothing really happened.
 
they have witnessed each other's changes growing up and when iseul was around fifteen years old, she ended up forming a huge crush on jongjin which she kept pretty discreet until she really couldn't take it anymore and ended up getting her and him alone somewhere around a few weeks before graduating and telling him that she liked him for how she physically found him attractive (with her still questioning to this day how the idiot and idiot number two ended up going from some noodle to something sculpted by the gods) and how she practically adored how he treated her (etc.), feelings in which haven't been reciprocated the way she wanted. he ended up rejecting her along the lines of how he views her like a sister, not really his type and how even if he did view her romantically, it would be risky and he didn't want their friendship to go awkward if they date and then end up splitting. the pair ended up being rather awkward with each other for about two weeks until they talked things out and decided to "forget" about what had happened and just go back to normal.
 
seojun who had been extremely curious of their awkwardness from before couldn't get an answer from jongjin on why they had been like that so, his next best bet was iseul who was rather chatty in her own right. although a bit of a challenge, he succeeded in getting her to tell him everything. seojun felt sorry for iseul and ended up using some of their free days (without jongjin) before university, before splitting ways with jongjin and him going to hongik whilst iseul is there moving to snu, to have fun and try to forget him which worked to an extent but nevertheless, iseul appreciated it.
 
seojun and jongjin were in for the shock of their lives when a few months later of starting university, they had been surprised by yeo iseul knocking at the door of their apartment with a suitcase or two of her belongings, a nervous smile etched upon her face as she explains how she couldn't handle studying medicine, how she dropped out of snu and transferred to hongik university, how her parents have ended up finding out thus leading her to get kicked out and is now needing to find somewhere to stay temporarily. no hesitation was given as they dragged her in with her residing on their flat's sofa bed before eventually finding the home share.
 
initially, jongjin and seojun had not been fond of the idea of a home share since she would be rooming with "strangers" who may potentially be dangerous but iseul lying informing them that all the tenants were "female" got them to be less worried.
 
❖ ACT II : THE PRESENT 

jongjin has ended up noticing that iseul and seojun tend to spend more time together without him. yes, he understands that the duo had known each other since they were babies but he didn't like how they would sometimes exclude him even though they may not be aware that they're making jongjin feel left out in all this new inside stories and jokes they have going on when they all end up hanging out. what he didn't know was that seojun was helping iseul out with trying to "win" jongjin's affections as what she requested yet at the same time trying to help iseul get over by jongjin by helping her with finding people to go on dates with, seojun also being used as some sort of boyfriend dummy to help her prepare with certain situations such as flirting (which comes off rather naturally) and such.
 
soon enough, jongjin notices how iseul would frequently go out on dates for the first time in her life which he didn't like whatsoever even though he should be proud of her. on the other hand, seojun was happy that she agreed on his idea of trying to date other people however, he wasn't so happy with her choice of guys whom she ends up going on dates with around 75% of the time. whenever seojun ends up commenting about it, jongjin would be putting in some disapproval, too with him acting like a father, trying to be more dominant on the situation with iseul and also mentioning how she shouldn't waste her time with those people and just spend her valuable time with him instead... and others.
 
kim jongjin should have gotten the hint that iseul is trying to get him jealous as well as genuinely flirting with him from the sidelines but he's just... dense? somehow, he ended up interpreting all the actions in which she has done with him and associated it with how iseul and seojun would act like together thus concluding him to believe that she is asking for jongjin's help on trying to "win" seojun's affections instead? when he told her that, iseul was all, "i can't believe i love this idiot" but nevetheless, let him think that. when iseul told seojun about this, the boy ended up laughing so hard to the point he somehow ended up choking on air.
 
jongjin didn't know what to think about this and he thought back to when she had confessed and how heartbroken she had been when he rejected her so, jongjin decided to be the good sport and reluctantly offered to help iseul out with the whole ordeal which she agreed to. jongjin didn't really know why he was secretly against the idea like seojun wasn't so bad of a match especially when compared to the number of guys iseul had gone on dates with but something just didn't seem right to him and he absolutely doesn't understand why he would end up being hostile to seojun at times whenever the topic of iseul would be put onto the table, usually initiated by seojun on wanting to see jongjin's limit, wanting to know whether jongjin actually likes their best friend romantically which seojun finds some amusement in doing...
 
as time passes by, jongjin would end up questioning whether he finds iseul attractive, whether he has feelings for her (etc.) and he would often try to shrug it off and should be happy about how things are returning back to normal between them more with iseul actually spending more time with him, being more affectionate and such but those questions keep haunting him. if he was falling for his best girl friend, then fate seems to be cruel to him especially with how iseul seems to be "moving on" to "seojun"...
 
on the other hand with iseul, she is starting to feel guilty and wanting to tell jongjin that the "guy" isn't seojun however, seojun, after being very persuasive, got iseul to keep quiet of the situation a little longer with him secretly having a hunch that their usually private and reserved kim jongjin may start cracking soon enough...
 
❖ ACT III : THE FUTURE 
 
i'll leave the ending up to you, some ideas include: jongjin and iseul getting together, seojun actually having had romantic feelings for iseul just as long as iseul had on jongjin and they end up together instead, or jongjin just having a very brotherly relationship to iseul thus leading to iseul and seojun's plan to fail thus leading iseul to end up all single and alone for the rest of her life with forty-seven pups and kittens, or she ends up with a completely different guy. surprise me?
 
❖ DIRECTOR'S NOTES 
 
this love story, i guess, is heavily inspired by exo's song "girl x friend" and it wasn't until a few hours later after i have finished this section that it is quite ironic due to how my username is of the same name?

LOVE TRIVIA
 
ONE — jongjin is a student of hongik university where he majors in engineering. he lives in a two-bedroom studio flat with seojun which is located around twenty minutes away from the university grounds.
 
TWOlike with seojun, iseul has ended up "borrowing" a few shirts, hoodies and jumpers of jongjin's. she has spare toiletries and some spare clothing kept at their flat when she occasionally decides to spend the night at their place but really, the spare clothes are almost useless since iseul ends up using their own clothes instead.
 
THREE jongjin, seojun and iseul have been rumoured to be in a polygamous relationship with how questionably close they are. there have been a time when a couple of students have ended up overhearing the trio conversing where iseul jokingly says, "alright, appas!" which caused seojun to respond with a smirk by saying, "if we're going to have that kind of relationship, you're going to have to call us daddies" thus leading to the two males high-fiving each other and leaving iseul flustered af. "daddies?!" "yes?" "asdfghjkl-"
 
FOUR — jongjin always has a loose strand of hair which falls on his forehead which iseul has a habit of trying to neaten it and put back to place.
 
FIVE — ever since iseul had become more active in the dating scene, jongjin would occasionally stalk look after iseul from behind the scenes when she would go out on a date especially with someone who seems "off" to him.
 
SIX — jongjin can be considered her second "sugardaddy" especially with him having heard of her situation with her parents and thus would sometimes gift iseul with items. he would sometimes visit her whilst she is working at her part-time job and give her gift there which could sometimes be embarrassing like that one time when she was conversing with him and she briefly mentioned how she needed to get herself new bra and underwear. iseul still doesn't know whether it was him being thoughtful or him being erted...
 
SEVEN — jongjin took dance classes when he was younger and gained an affinity to dancing but would only dance in private. iseul and seojun would often film his dancing in secret or if they want him to showcase his dancing, iseul and seojun would go drag him to some party or club and get him drunk where he would end up dancing... sometimes a bit too sensually which then iseul would try and drag him out. if that is how he does his hip s when dancing like just imagine his performance in be—
 
EIGHT — iseul is used as a human pillow by jongjin a lot especially when they hang out. however, if seojun is around, jongjin's assigned place is iseul's shoulder whilst seojun gets her lap which is considered to be the best place for iseul would often run her fingers through their hair and put some pressure as though massaging it.
 
NINE — jongjin is fairly attractive so it isn't a shock finding him being asked out on dates. he rarely ever agrees but when he does, the situation can get rather... chaotic especially with his friends' reactions because they know how awkward he can be with interacting with others outside of his friendship group or classes.
 
TEN — there's a kimbap stand right outside seojun and jongjin's flat which iseul and jongjin go to at least twice a week. the ahjussi and ahjumma couple are so familiar with them that they know their orders off by heart and the usual time they would arrive which tend to be in the evening.
 
ELEVEN — iseul has a thing for catching him off guard and glomping on him since she was little? one would think that jongjin would have gotten used to it by now, but not really. about two years ago, she glomped so powerfully that he had gone off-balance with him having sprained his ankle.
 
TWELVE — iseul had seen jongjin-and seojun-shirtless many times and had been fortunate in witnessing their abs especially when she visits them without warning and she still wonders how she hasn't pounced on them yet.
 
THIRTEEN — jongjin is also known as "pest control" with him not fearing insects unlike iseul and seojun and thus has the unofficial job of getting rid of them may it be in the room, on them (etc.) he sometimes would then pretend he still has the insect in his hand and would jokingly attempt in scaring them.
 
FOURTEEN — jongjin barely uses his instagram despite him having the most posts and followers? seojun and iseul practically made him his account with seojun having made his username and the pair contributing to around 70% of the posts up on his account and those who know jongjin well enough would know that 'cause he's terrible at taking photographs.
 
FIFTEEN — iseul finds his husky morning voice to be the iest thing ever? like if she was an anime character, she would be the girl who would have ended up with the non-stop nosebleed. with him smirking? her are dropping. if he's laughing, well... she ends up crying from laughter because his laugh is something else... "unique"
 
SIXTEEN — one would also believe that jongjin can handle a crying iseul especially when she cries over things like dramas and books, but he goes into "panic" mode where he eventually would have to end up getting seojun to help.
INTERVIEW
HELLO! MY NAME IS KIM YONGSUN, HOW ARE YOU?
"hello, gorgeous! the name's yeo iseul like what it should say on the application form unless i mispelt it which would be embarrassing! i'm fine... and desperate to be honest but then again, lots of people are?" she laughs nervously.

I'M REALLY GLAD YOU'RE INTERESTED IN MOVING IN! MAY I ASK HOW YOU'VE HEARD OF THE SHARE HOME?
"heard it around the university campus. i also saw, i think, misun having handed out flyers about it? the pictures were absolutely beautiful which got  me interested. i applied as soon as this opportunity shown up 'cause i can't keep staying at my friends' place and there is no way i'm going to go back to my parents' place since they're not so happy with me and my life choices at the moment..." she sighs in slight frustration. "umm... please ignore the second half of what i said?" iseul strains a smile.

HM INTERESTING, I HONESTLY DIDN'T EXPECT THIS TO BLOW UP LOL.
"no kidding! like you must have more interviews coming your way with the amount of students i know wanting to live here!"

MOVING ON...HOW OFTEN WILL YOU BE HOME? CAN YOU LIKE, JOIN IN WHENEVER WE HANG OUT, OR ARE YOU MORE, UM, PRIVATE? 
iseul shrugs her shoulders. "i'm more of a people person so, i'll be around to hang out as often as possible when not studying or working? it would be great to know and form a good relationship with fellow tenants anyway. i like to balance my time within the house and out 'cause everyone has a personal life with other friends and interests, right?"

WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR REQUIREMENTS FOR YOUR POTENTIAL ROOMMATES?
she ponders for a moment. "er... i don't really find myself to be that picky when it comes to having a roommate? all the stereotypical traits of a good roommate, i guess with them not invading into personal belongings, for them to be friendly, not too messy and to not have terrible sleeping habits like snoring?"

WOW, GOOD LUCK FINDING ONE! BUT, ANYWAYS, HOW ORGANIZED ARE YOU? JUST A HEADS UP, TAEYONG FREAKS OUT AT THE SIGHT OF DIRT!
"organised enough. like i never really had received much complaints about mess especially since i like to hold a collection and my parents had threatened me that if things are a mess, that they would throw my stuff away. it has practically been permanently ingrained into my head." she nods her head but inwardly thinks of how her life is practically a mess itself.

MHM, I HOPE YOU AIN'T A SLOB, WE ALREADY HAVE MISUN...HAHA FORGET I SAID THAT! ANYWAYS, THANKS FOR YOUR TIME! HAVE A NICE DAY! MY CONTACT (MISUN) WILL CONTACT YOU!
"the pleasure was all mine! thank you and hope to hear from you soon!"
ENDING

COMMENT(S) i hope you enjoyed the word vomit (but i think i'm not "finished" yet??) and that nothing seems to be terribly wrong? it's been over half a year since i applied for an applyfic so, i'm pretty rusty? i'll get to fixing as soon as possible if issues are spotted, and i'm not so sure whether the app looks presentable on both mac and windows so, i apologise if the layout ends up looking like a complete mess on your device. i'll go fix that too if it's a problem! thanks for reading and good luck with the story!

SCENE REQUESTS
ONE — jongjin and seojun finally deciding that they want to personally see the place where their friend is staying with iseul having lied to them prior on how yongsun had ended up picking all "female" tenants and then being surprised at the sight of men. seojun and jongjin would feel betrayed and be all, "i thought you said they were girls!" and iseul being iseul goes something like "they are... in the inside" before apologising to them and trying to make them see that her living arrangements aren't so bad.

TWO — the living room turning into a giant blanket fort.

THREE — some night of monopoly, uno, sevens or something which leads to ing people over, cheating, insults, tears and some "people" not talking to each other for days.

FOUR — iseul having been given sheep tending duty one day for work, and just before her shift is over, she ends up falling on their thus having to phone one of the tenants or seojun and jongjin for help. jokes about it last for like around a week.

FIVE — some cheesy/cringy pick up lines battle iseul somehow gotten herself into.

SIX — just iseul's sister visiting the place for the first time. iseul enters the house and once she spots her, iseul would either scream satan whilst trying to get away from her or be composed and all, "why are you hear?" most likely they will end up arguing.

SEVEN — someone ends up having a nose bleed and staining the carpet... and the rest of that situation is practically history...

EIGHT — a couple of iseul's ig followers coming to thanks nature whilst she is working and they start fangirling/fanboying.
