PERSONALITY.
entj. gryffindor

yar is an energetic and optimistic girl who has the constant drive to improve her cooking, mostly due to her strong relationship and rivalry with her father. she is confident in her skills and always seeks to challenge others to prove her abilities and test the limits of her cooking. because of this, yar constantly finds herself in very difficult situations in her various challenges which would break the spirits of most young chefs. however, she remains positive and cool under pressure, never backing down from a challenge and is always constantly thinking and evolving her cooking. yar is also flexible and innovative, able to break away from ordinary procedures to cook dishes, thus allowing her to make her own solutions when she needs to find an edge.

on stream, people see her as a courageous and even reckless, some people even watch her stream just to see what kind of cook she'll present and don't really want to try the recipe at home. they also love to see her doing challenges given by them in her previous stream. off stream, she's still that courageous girl. time and time again, yar has proven that she is more than capable of overcoming the most difficult challenges given by her viewers with the steepest handicaps. yar is not afraid to admit that there are still more people who is better than her and that she is not perfect, but she refuses to give up. as such she is not afraid to examine her own deficiencies, and is even eager to learn whatever she needs to in order to overcme them. since yar's lifelong goal is to become a better chef than her father and thus will fight to the very end to achieve her dream. she will plunge head first into trial and error until she gets to the end results that he displays, spending days exhausting every possible option until she finds the best one.
quite good at controling her emotion. so whenever she face an unforeseen circumstances, she'll try to focus on things she need to know before making a decision on what to do.
as a roommate, you can say she's the best roommate ever. though her words sometimes rude, yar is a very friendly individual. she is always willing to help out a friend, and is more than willing to assist anyone in need. at the same time, yar has a natural charm around her that causes people to believe in her. yar does not believe that one's flaw could describe the person as whole and thus, treats her friends more as equals, something that was rarely reciprocated. while she is constantly belittled by others, either she is not aware of the fact that they are insulting her or chooses not to respond to it. either way, yar never retorts when insulted.
but still, nobody perfect right? behind all the good things she has, here are some things you need to know about her. she has wry sense of humor, so yeah, in conclusion, you might get bored of her unless you are okay to talk with someone in long time with almost no laugh at all. she's a devastatingly sarcastic little thing, and it often flies over people's heads because she says it so seriously with a little smile. she tends to trust people immediately once they can befriend her. she just believes in everything they say and easily tricked. it makes her impossible to second guess people's intentions with her and just believes that they are good people despite obvious red flag. she will be in danger if there are manipulative people that can make her feel comfortable. she also tends to keep all the problems to herself for most part, finding it easier to stick to the people. she is rather easily annoyed but she's not the confrontational type either. instead of saying what makes her upset, she'll throw some sarcastic remarks.

BACKGROUND.
phase I

at the age of 6, yar began to help doing simple things in her father's korean home restaurant, jin restaurant. as a kid, yar was interested in cooking and the interest itself motivated her to become a great chef like her father. while still in elementary school, yar began to cook on her own and made her classmates eat her food, though most cried from the taste. she even began working in the school's cafetaria which suprised most of the chefs working there.

phase II

despite numerous bad comments given by people around her including her father, yar continued to further her cooking skills and learned from her father in the hopes of one day getting an acknowledge she deserves. while she assisted james in jin restaurant, yar created dishes that made it onto the restaurant menu as her part of her training. though james said they were tasty, he deemed them not good enough. yar was confused by her father's rhetorical statement, so james explained that even the simplest dishes cannot have a single missing element, as customers at jin restaurant expect nothing less than extraordinary to satisfy their hearts.

phase III.

her father was scammed. he was forced to sell the only restaurant he has in order to protect the family's financial state. lucky enough his parents still has an unused property in orlando. that was when the whole jin family left miami and move to orlando. though a girl like yar didn't have any problem in finding new friends, there's still an empty spot in her. she missed her friends, especially scott. and somehow her father gave her much pressure for her cook. well maybe that's because james jin was also under pressure after the problems he faced. everything messed up at that time. that was when she decided to open up a youtube channel, doing various kind of cooking style and tried out unique recipes in hope it can distract her. who knows her channel was somehow success and she met another platform called twitch. people said she can get more money from there, so... there she goes.

Q&A.

HOW ARE YOU? INTRODUCE YOURSELF. "hello, there." yar lightly folds her arm. "yareli jin here, but you can call me yar or maki. and i'm good by the way, thanks for asking."

WHY DID YOU START STREAMING? yar forces a smile that doesn't quite reach her eyes. "well, it's all started because my father keep saying my cooking skill isn't good enough. so in order to gather more opinion, i start to make my youtube account and later after i found out about twitch, i decided to move there because it's easier for me to do live stream and read all the comment in real time."

DO YOU LOVE YOUR FANS? she clears and nods. "do you even have to ask that question? obviously yes."

HOW MUCH DO YOU EARN? yar blinks, brows furrowing. "hmm, around 600k per months?"

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF 'GOING LIVE'S MEMBERS? "they all nice. that's all i can say since i'm a newbie. i'm not good at judging people though so... yeah, hopefully they are really nice?"

USER ASTONIE SAID, "WHY DO U LOOK LIKE THAT, LOLZ" she chuckles. "and why do you look like that? answer that first, i'll give mine after."

WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR THE FUTURE? IS THERE ANYTHING THAT WE CAN LOOK FORWARD TO? "sorry to burry all your expectations but soon after i graduate, i may focus on pursuing my career as chef." she shrugs.

SCOTT CHOI

FULL NAME. scott choi (최수빈)
DATE OF BIRTH. december 5th 2000
NATIONALITY. korean-american
BIRTHPLACE. miami, florida, usa
LANGUAGES. 

  ▹ english - native, no need to ask why, he's literally live in usa for his whole life
  ▹ korean - semi fluent; because same like yar, the language taken up by speaking to family members

UALITY. heteroual
PRONOUNS. he/him

FACE. txt's soobin
BACKUP FACE. nct's mark
APPEARANCE. currently sporting a brown hair color. rarely styles his hair on a daily basis. has a scar under his lower lip.
STYLE. he's more of a boy next door kind of person who doesn't really like wearing professional clothes like slacks. just lot of oversize and loose stuffs. though if he has to dress up fancy, he will.

PERSONALITY. scott is a shy and gentle boy who usually lacks the self-confidence to stand up for himself or believe in himself. he rarely feels good enough for himself and isn't sure if he's doing a great job. he was very easily intimidated and felt overwhelmed. he'd avoid approaching others first and keep to himself because he's rather afraid of speaking up. but underneath all that quiet shyness, he has a heart of gold that strives to bring warmth and empathy to those around him.

relying on the spur of the moment to do things. he becomes unpredictable at times and it reflects in the way he may take back what he said previously since he changed his mind. when scott's interest is captured, his absence goes beyond social matters to include the rest of the physical world. he can become forgetful, missing even the obvious if it’s unrelated to his current obsession.

scott views the world as a big, complex machine, and he recognizes that as with any machine, all parts are interrelated. he excels in analyzing these connections, seeing how seemingly unrelated factors tie in with each other in ways other people can't see.

LOVE STORY. scott was yar's classmate from elementary school to middle school. scott watched from a far and developed a crush on her due to her coolness and impressive skill in cooking.

after the jin family departure that caused the jin restaurant to close down temporarily, scott was depressed to know that yar would not stay in the same city as him, which filled him with regret for not confessing his feelings sooner, believing and concluding that even if he tried to call her, someone as amazing as yar would never notice a plain boy like himself.

as luck would have it, yar made her youtube channel during a summer break two years ago, giving him the opportunity to see her and support her even though it's only through the comment section under the name of scottlang. unfortunately, scott sensed yar's maturity and how she is a famous person now. he felt that he was left behind.

last summer break, yar has a chance to spend a few days in miami with her friends including scott. there, yar personally talked to scott, telling him that she actually know that scottlang was scott and asking him to keep supporting her because it meant a lot to her. scott was touched to know that yar was noticing him too and happily agreed to keep supporting her. that was the time they finally exchange number though and starting from that day, they'd send each other text, having a phone call or even video call every single day. yar promised that she would return every summer breakd and promised to make something for him whenever she returned to miami.

ENDGAME. it's up to you ;)
