“Miss Im? She’s quite the perfect role student we have in our department - always on time to meetings, lectures and practice, I don’t think she’s ever been tardy even once in her life. She even offers help to the juniors and even classmates of hers whenever she sees them struggling, she’s nearly like a second teacher to them after the lecturers. And yet, Miss Im still continues to learn and expand her knowledge and skills - she doesn’t seem to take a break at music. Almost as if it was an obsession with how hardworking she is. She’s a good student and an examplementary role to follow.”
“I don’t think I can say much about Daeah? I’m not saying she’s mean or anything but… it’s like there’s some wall she puts up. She doesn’t shut you down or anything but she’s careful to not slip up on stuff about herself. I don’t think any of us have hung out with her outside of projects or classes - she rarely attends parties or gatherings, something about being swamped with her own personal projects? I don’t know if anyone’s noticed but the way she fixes her mistakes almost immediately is kinda… scary? Like she has to be perfect every single time - she can’t mess up even just a tiny bit.”
Background.
Both of her parents originated from South Korea but moved to New York to focus on their careers at the time. And so far, Daeah's had yearly visits to meet her relatives in South Korea - family roots are important after all.

Once a world-wide known singer, he now runs an entertainment company in South Korea where his company produces hit songs and memorable singers under his label.

So, yes - Daeah would definitely say that she's rich.

University Life.
Daeah's life revolves around music. All she does is analyze, memorize, practice and repeat. You'll usually find her in the dance practice room or in her own private studio booth where she composes songs and practices her instruments.
During weekdays, Daeah spends most of her time studying. She spends most of her hours at her own studio where it's filled with advanced sound systems, gears and instruments after her classes finish. Her phone is mostly on silent except for thew contacts that she allows to ring so only a few people can reach her.
Weekends are when her schedule is mostly free unless her professors or instructors ask her to come in to help out or get more practice in her. Even if she's absolutely free, Daeah rarely comes out to party since she doesn't admire the smell of booze and loud music.
Or as her friends would say, "All Dae knows is music - that's literally the only thing she focuses on."

Let's start off easy. Do you know anyone here?
"By name, I know everyone. I know your names, your faces, stories of how you all act and other things," she states, straightening her back as she continues, "However, I don't know most of you. The only ones I consider even acquaintances are Dicky and Ashton and Joey's gonna hit me if I don't call him my friend. Everyone else? I have zero clue besides what I've seen and heard."
On the scale of 0 to 10, how hot do you think you are?
"A full 10," she displays both of her palms up, indicating the number '10'. "Take it or leave it, agree or disagree - I'm always a full 10. I'm a 10/10, don't you forget that."
Joey requested this... Uh, do you watch anime?
Daeah sighs, pinching the bridge of her nose at the mention of Joey. Of course he'd ask that type of question. She can see him smiling in his seat - acting like the big dork he was. "He's dragged me into his anime marathons by force," she stops for a minute to think back on their anime sessions, "But, I always enjoyed them at the end of the day. I started watching them without him too so yes, I do watch anime and read some manga from time to time. Sometimes from Joey's recommendations, sometimes I just find them on my own."
Are you okay with drugs? Like seeing or using them?
"Free choice for everyone," she shrugs, "I don't mind it when other people use it or if I see other people using it. I would never use them personally so just don't involve me in your drugs."
You're at a house party. What is the first thing you grab to drink?
Daeah nearly let's out a groan when she hears the question. She can just feel what the boys are gonna think after she gives off her answer. "I don't drink alcohol unless it's wine so," she clears , "I'm sticking to just water or soda. Someone has to stay sober and that someone is usually me."
Why do you want to come?
"I've heard about it from the grapevine but I've never gone to them - never really interested. But, Joey's been telling me about it, Riles thinks I need more 'fun experiences' and you know..." For once during the entire interview does Daeah give a soft smile, "It sounds pretty cool. So, why not bite the bullet and just try it out for once? Is that a good enough answer?"

For once during the entire interview does Daeah give a soft smile, "It sounds pretty cool. So, why not bite the bullet and just try it out for once? Is that a good enough answer?"
Relationships.
dialogs are in daeah's pov. everything else is just 3rd pov.
name : Richard Ahn
acquaintances
"I've met Dicky a few times for music related things. He's alright, I guess. We wave at each other if we pass by."
Daeah can't say much about Richard except for the few times she's worked with him to compose music for his projects. He greets her if they ever pass by and she's talked to him a couple times as well when she's waiting/looking for Joey. A nice guy, that's all she can say.
name : Ashton Kim acquaintances
"Look, he's a pretty nice kid. I think Dicky told him about the times I helped him out so Ashton comes to me for music too. That's it."
Daeah and Ashton aren't that close but aren't strangers either. He first came up to her for help on a project and ever since then, has continued to be friendly with her. He's hold a few conversations with her and even invited her to parties before. She said yes to a small few but most of the time, turns them down.
name : Riley Yeonso Kang
best friend
senior, fashion design major
"Riles? She's the only person who knows everything there is to know about me. Knows me better than me."
Riley or as she prefers, Riles, is a senior in her course and is a huge dork. Riles has been friends with Daeah since high school. She attends most of Daeah's performances, hangs around her the most and is close with Daeah's parents. A popular student amongst the female students due to her 'handsome' aura and also a friendly figure amongst the boys due to her friendliness. In short, a social butterfly who keeps trying to expand Daeah's social circle.
name: Yeojin Raecliff Jungclose friend / wingwoman
collab w up-and-adam
"I'm actually close with her and I like hanging out with her - even if she embarrasses me sometimes."
"I'm actually close with her and I like hanging out with her - even if she embarrasses me sometimes."
Daeah first met Rae during one of her regular days where Joey dragged her to a convention. Joey introduced the two ladies to each other and ever since then, they've kept in touch. Daeah helps Rae out with composing music for her games and Rae helps to give advice where Daeah lacks most. Rae states that she's Daeah's and Joey's wingwoman and honestly, Daeah agrees 100%.
Name: Claire Parkfriends
collab w Susan15
"Claire's a nice girl, I don't hang around her too much but she's sweet - almost like a little sister."
Daeah came to know Claire through Claire's older brother, Daniel. She's on good terms with both of the Park siblings but she tends to look out for Claire almost like an older sibling would. She introduced Claire to Ashton since both of them were around the same age.
Yeonghee Jung and Taehyun Im
parents
"It's mom and dad. I love them. What else is there to say?"
Has a close relationship with her parents and they all keep in touch through social media and Skype calls. Her father is currently in South Korea to manage his company while her mother stays at New York. They're very supportive over her determination in making music as her main career and often times, would attend her showcases and checkup on her once a week.
Date Interest. Jinhyuk 'Joseph' Park
Current Status. Close friends.
Their Story.
"Hyuk?.. He's a close friend - a very close friend. His name is the first that pops into my mind when I think of the Brat Pack but I don't think they can even be called brats - not Jinhyuk, at least. I like having him around and he's always just... a great person to be around. I like him but I'm not sure if I like like him - I just know that I don't want to lose him."
First meeting during her first year, the two exchanged names due to their group of friends - mainly, Riles dragging Daeah around to meet all the first-years. Joey happened to be one of those 'lucky' people who Riles introduced Daeah to. While at first Daeah would just forget about him, he bonded with Riles which ended up with Riles bringing Daeah around whenever they hung out.
It was during a party, the rare few that Daeah attended did the two get closer. Joey came up to keep her company when Riles went MIA for a moment and the two managed to find common ground when hitting on the topic of music. And Joey sets up a day where the two could hang to make some music or just chill.
Joey comes by the next week and (un?)fortunately, he catches Daeah spinning some random tunes and she plays a theme song from an anime she's never heard of but Joey just screams from her front door and goes "IS THAT WHAT I THINK IT IS?" And instead of a music session, they ended up spending the entire day watching anime as Joey kept recommending stuff to her.

And instead of a music session, they ended up spending the entire day watching anime as Joey kept recommending stuff to her.
Since then, Joey became a close friend to Daeah. He was the first person she told about her self-diagnosed musical anhedonia during a day where they were chilling and watching animes on netflix. And even when she took a year off to get treatment, they still kept in touch with Joey updating her on the animes he had been watching to keep her spirits up. They spammed each other with funny pictures like "hey look this rock looks like you lmao", forward memes and just check up on what the other is doing.
When she returns from her break, it seems like the two continued to be close friends with how Joey even introduced her to the rest of the Brat Pack members. Daeah soon becomes a regular figure seen around Joey and the air is always warm whenever the two of them are around each other.
Joey's the one who suggested they "let's just say it and go together" because a) he's pretty sure no one's gonna ing ask him because he's a certified weeb and b) he has no time to search for another girl who he's comfortable with like Daeah and c) Daeah said herself that she's not going unless someone asked her. He wants her to go and what better way to kill to birds with one stone then to just ask Daeah to be his date?

He wants her to go and what better way to kill to birds with one stone then to just ask Daeah to be his date?
So, Joey calls her up to meet him in front of her door. It's there does he barge inside, sits her down and tells her about his idea for them to go to the formal together. Daeah doesn't say much except 'yes' and Joey gets way too excited and starts telling her about plans he thought of while they attend the formal. How's Daeah suppose to say no to how he was smiling at her? Originally having no plans to attend the formal, she finds herself looking forward to it with the idea of spending it with Joey.
Ending. let them stay together,,,or? :o so joey can show that weebs can get girflriends okno
Trivia.

Comments.
music anhedonia! inspired by that short moment during one episode on instinct hgh. bottom line is that she gets no pleasure from listening to music, that's a shorter way to say it. however! daeah enjoys the process of making music, learning how to make the tunes stitch together and how it effects people when they listen to it.
