Are you sure you've chosen the right one?

Choose wisely:

Personality: Min Ah is very passionate in everything she does, even if it's just a small thing, she will still work hard and give her best. It's pretty much obvious, you cannot unsee her burning passion. Because Min Ah has this mindset "Do everything to your heart's content, like there's no tomorrow. Because who knows, maybe you'll die tomorrow." Although this can be considered as one of her good point, there are some people who get misunderstood by her character. They would think that Min Ah has a strong ambition and will do everything just to get what she wants. It's not true, by the way. She's the type who doesn't really care about winning and all, as long as she's having fun with it, and other people are happy too, she's satisfied with it. EXCEPT, if it has something to do with her study, or her interest, like music, well, she will work her hardest and will be upset if she can't do well.

Min Ah is very honest. She is not afraid of telling what's inside her mind, and expressing her feelings. Some people has misunderstood her as being harsh just because she's being honest. But then, Min Ah always thinks that telling lies won't make us happy in the end, even if those are white lies. It's different when you tell the truth,even if it's hurtful, then you won't be hurt in the end because you already feel it from the beginning. She's the type who won't hide her problems, because she really hates to stay troubled and annoyed with her own problems. That's why, she will always talk and consult to her close friends or her sister whenever she has problems, or secrets. Well, anyone who become friends with her has to be a good secret keeper, or you need to prepare to get hunted by Kim Min Ah.

Min Ah's weak point is that she is really forgetful. She can suddenly forget something she just did a couple of minutes ago. The worst case was when she forgot where did she put her phone when she was in middle school. "It was a disaster. We were having a lunch break when she suddenly screamed 'Where is my phone?!' and the whole cafetaria was shocked of her sudden scream. We started to look around the cafetaria, even asking some students because she just freaked out and being good friends, we decided to look up for her too. Because we couldn't find it, and it was almost the end of lunch break, one of us decided to call her number, hoping that her phone would ring. True enough, her phone rang, inside her damn pocket. We were dumbfounded, how come she forgot she put her phone inside her own pocket. We wanted to smack her, because after that she acted like nothing hapenned and was laughing happily," her friend confessed.

Overall, Min Ah's personality is like a kid who is exciteable, easily impressed and honest. She may not look like she has problems, but she actually has a lot of problems, and she only tells her close friends about her problem. And, She may also seem not to care with those misunderstandings about her, but she does care. She actually has a lot of hardships, and her close friends know them all.

In love: Min Ah doesn't change much when she's in love. Well, she becomes less hyper than her usual self, but she would still play along and having fun times with the boy because she wants him to feel comfortable around her. One thing that changes is that she gets more sensitive. She can either become mushy gushy or sulk easily on every little things happen between her and the boy he's fallen for. When she falls in love with someone, she put on high hopes but usually doesn't really work out because the other boy has different plans for her, and in the end she would either get surprised and happy or disappointed. She is not the one who will initiate and show a lot of skinship or PDA, because she gets shy at the thought of doing it. But, if the boy is the one who initiates it, she won't refrain herself from doing it, even though she will constantly blush while doing skinship or PDA.

Why haven't you called home yet?

Background: Min Ah comes from a music oriented family. Her mother is an opera singer, and her father is a retired pianist. Both Min Ah and her sister were taught singing by their mother and learned basic piano from their father. Basic piano, because her mother had taught them, "Piano, is the mother of all instruments. When you have learned the basic of Piano, you can play other instruments easily afterwards." True enough, other than piano, Min Ah plays saxophone and guitar. Her sister can also play guitar. Those instruments, they learned it by themselves.

Although the Kim family is rich, considering that both of her parents are well-known musician and artist, Min Ah and her sister were never get spoiled by their parents. They were taught to live without being too dependent of others, to do their best in everything they do, even if it's just small things and simply, to enjoy their live as much as possible. But somehow, because they were taught to be independent, Min Ah becomes someone who is like a free spirit, who doesn't want to get restricted from doing things she likes. This explains why Min Ah and her mom is not that close, considering that her mom is very strict and naggy especially when it comes to Min Ah, whom her mother thought is still young and is still in need of parents guidance, much to Min Ah's disagreement. On the other hand, Min Ah is the closest to her sister. They both are inseparable, and even when they did live far away from each other, Min Ah and her sister still communicated with each other. They also support each other in whatever they do, and Min Ah thinks that her sister is her role model because she is smart, diligent, and has positive aura around her. She didn't know that her sister is actually the one who would constantly putting pranks on her. They both become dorks when they are together. You can also add Min Ah's father and they could be three (idiots) dorks who will later get scolded by yours truly, Kim Minjung a.k.a the (boss) mother of the Kim family.

Min Ah moved to California and lived with her father's family right after she graduated from Middle School. Min Ah went to an Arts High School and after she graduated, she managed to get into a music school in California. Too bad Min Ah decided to move back to Korea (in which made her mother shocked because of her sudden decision), because some of her Middle School friends and her childhood friend go to Sinbi. And to put it on top, Min Ah's sister, whom she looks up the most, is a fresh graduate from Sinbi. That was why she chose to move back and go to Sinbi University.

How did you two meet?:

➣ It was Min Ah's first day at Sinbi and she was on telephone, getting nagged by her mom just because she forgot to make her bed. She was sitting on the grass, apparently it's the school's garden. Tao, who happened to walk across the garden overheard the whole conversation. It was interesting to Tao because Min Ah would say some random english while arguing with her mom, and he decided wait for a bit and see what will happen next. Min Ah of course, didn't know someone has been watching her from behind. After she hung up, she kept mumbling some random english, and complaining how naggy her mom is. Tao who found the way Min Ah talked was hilarious (plus amusing) finally laughed because he couldn't take it anymore. Unfortunately, his laugh is loud enough for Min Ah to hear it. She was shocked because there was no one walking around the garden when she talked with her mother. "It was fun to hear your conversation!" "What?" Min Ah didn't exactly know how to respond him because she had a lot of feelings at that time, annoyed at her mom, shocked and well, confused because the boy in front of her just said 'fun'. "Wait, what fun?" "You know, the way you talk," Tao laughed a bit more when he saw Min Ah's clueless face, "I'm amused." "Huh?" "Nevermind, seems like it's my first time seeing you here," he fixed his bang, and started to walk off, "My name is Tao. Huang Zitao. Remember that, alright?" "Err, I guess?" Min Ah was slightly confused because the boy, Tao, just told her his name. "See you later, English girl!" And just like that, Tao went, leaving Min Ah who finally got back to her sense, "English girl? Wait...WHO ARE YOU TO CALL ME ENGLISH GIRL." She heard Tao's laugh from afar.

➣ Min Ah was curious about Sinbi University's music room, so she decided to go and take a look. She was about to arrive at the music room when she saw a boy from afar, who looked like....he was locking the door to music room. "Wait...wait!" She ran to the boy's direction. Min Ah arrived just in time before the boy could walk away after he locked the door. "I'm really sorry, but can't I take a little peek of this room? It's the music room right?" "I'm afraid I can't, because the teacher told me to lock it after I've done practicing. Beside, I think you're a new student? It's my first time seeing you. What are you gonna do inside?" "Oh right, sorry. My name is Min Ah, and yes, I'm a new student, majoring in music. I'm just curious to see the music room because I think I'm going to spend my 4 years of university mostly in here, so...can I or can I?" There was an awkward silence because Min Ah thought it was a bad joke. She was about to apologize, when she heard the boy chuckled, "I don't have any other choice right? Let me unlock the do-" "Thank you so much, umm, sir? I guess? But You don't look like a teach-" "I'm Kim Minseok, a student like you," he let out another chuckle, "and I'm sure I don't look that old," he jokingly pouted. "Oh I'm sorry, didn't mean it! I just didn't know how to adress you, that's why. Thank you so much, Minseok!" "But don't tell the teacher I let you to take a look, okay?" "Aye, sir!" "I heard that!" and they both chuckled. Around 5 minutes until Min Ah felt satisfied after checking the room, she left after saying a 'thank you' once again to him. Well, Minseok had to lock the door again after that.

Do you like him?: No

Does he like you?: Yes

You're kidding me! You do?: Yes

Really? He does?: Yes

How you two act around each other?:

➣ Both of them like to tease each other, like cat and dog. Except the fact that Min Ah is the one who gets irritated mostly because Tao, well, Tao has unlimited stock of ideas especially when it comes to teasing and messing with Min Ah. Even so, Min Ah thinks that Tao is one of her close friend at Sinbi, and if there is a day Tao didn't , deep inside she would feel lonely. And despite how the two interact with each other like cat and dog, they both will unconciously help each other.

➣ To Min Ah, Minseok is like an older brother who is willing to help Min Ah whenever she has problems, and Min Ah found that Minseok can get tricked easily, so sometimes Min Ah likes to fool him. Not that Minseok will get mad at her, because Minseok just being....Minseok. He will still remain calm, and unaware that Min Ah just fooled him.

Wait... who is he?

Comments/Suggestions: This story is interesting, really! XD The masks are the ones making this story interesting. Oh and the application form too! I had fun writing it and the part where we have to choose 2 cards is interesting too! :D I just hope you understand my application because you can probably find some typos or grammatical errors. Well, I'm still learning english...../facepalm

Scene requests:

➣ School trip? But since this is not a high school anymore, maybe a scene where the girls and the boys go on a vacation? Not to forget the student council too :D

The boys and girls went on a vacation to a beach and rent a small condo (or maybe borrowed someone's condo?), and it turned out to be (somewhat) a disaster. They played various beach games, Yixing and Jongdae buried Minseok who was sleeping, leaving only his face, Zitao played the game smashing watermelon but he accidentaly smashed Yifan, and so the chasing game between Zitao and Yifan started. At night they decided to make bonfire, and Luhan freaked out because bonfire can be quite dangerous especially if the ones making it are the dorks and pranksters of the group. He simply didn't want something bad to happen, whilst the girls were making barbeque, with the help of Minseok (or one of the boys). Before sleep they played truth or dare and it turned out to be a very interesting game. (I hope you got the main idea? D:)

➣ For the nth times, Min Ah forgot to bring her umbrella. It was raining really hard, and she mentally slapped herself for forgetting the umbrella. She shivered at the thought of her running through the rain and by the night she would surely catch a cold and she won't be able to go to her class tomorrow and take her test. But really, at times like this, she didn't really have a choice than to run through the rain, because the rain didn't bother to show any sign to stop, and she didn't want to get stucked inside the school's building. When she was about to run through the rain, someone held her wrist. Turned out to be the mystery guy, "Here, you probably need this more than I do," as he gave her his umbrella. Before Min Ah could respond to him, he already ran through the rain and disappeared. (I know, this scene sounds cliche, but yeah, I can't help but to fangirling while writing this one OTL)

➣ Fluffy and cheesy scenes? (XD This one will never get old. We all loves cheesy scenes, right? Or Is it just me?)

➣ The girls went to an amusement park for a bonding time, but Min Ah got a little bit too excited. She was too engrossed with all those extreme rides, she didn't even know she got separated from her group. On the way, she met with Tao who apparently was going out with the other boys and happened to get separated from his hyungs too. Both of them played together until the closing time. One of the worker even had to shove them out because they still wanted to play. The next day, Min Ah and Tao got scolded by their own friends, but Tao defended, "We met on the way and I was the one who dragged her along with me because the hyungs just left me alone. I didn't want to be alone so I told her to play with me."
