THE MIRROR
What do you look like?
style 〉
My style can be a little complicated to explain. The first thing to know is that I am picky with my clothes the way food snobs are picky with their food. For me, my clothes have to be absolutely perfect and I have to always look my best. Now, the second thing to know is that my clothes always match my mood, even down to the shade. If I don't have an article of clothing in a certain shade or color I will go and buy it (though I have a lot of clothes so I rarely have to). During the process of my hunt for the perfect piece of clothing I will wear a neutral color like white or grey. The third thing to know is that the number of accessories I wear depends on how lazy I'm feeling that particular morning (though I rarely ever feel lazy). I always wear accessories though. A necklace, earrings, and at least one ring and bracelet or watch are necessary, even on my laziest days.

personality 〉
›› So beautiful it hurts sometimes…
When people meet me, obviously the first thing that they notice about me is my face. I am quite androgynous, so people are sometimes confused about my gender when they first meet me. The second thing that people notice is how charismatic I am. Depending on if the person is a man or a woman, my charisma has different affects. Most men seem to find me seductive and captivating. Even when I’m not trying. Women generally view me with disdain and end up hating me, even though I don’t necessarily do anything. My sister says that I am like a man magnet and women can sense it, which is why women usually don’t like me. She says it’s an innate reaction to be jealous of someone who poses a threat because they are jealous. And by being a man it just makes girls hate me even more; because it’s unnatural for a man to be as alluring and attractive to other men as I am.
I will say that I am a social person, I like meeting new people, even girls. However it’s hard for me to make friends with the opposite because of our discrepancies. Most women have the impression that I am a vain and prideful man who is out to steal their man, but I have to say that is partially untrue. I will admit to being vain, as I can be quite narcissistic and conceited. I am gorgeous, I know it, and I don’t hide it. I am also very proud of the way I look and it’s obvious from the way I carry myself. I took care of my appearance, so why shouldn’t I show my beauty with pride? And, though I may be selfish at times, I am far from a man stealer. Sure I’m opportunistic and will grab something that I want when given the chance, but I don’t go out of my way to seduce someone else’s man. I have standards for my partners and also moral standards for myself. Being a home wrecker is far off base from the type of person that I actually am. I don’t do things to other people that I wouldn’t want done to myself, plus I’m not calculating or conniving enough to plot ways to ruin someone’s relationship; that and I’m not desperate enough to try to do something so low. I am a self-assured person. I approach life with an assertive optimism that is hard to shake.
›› Smile, the world is beautiful…
Aside from my most used quote of “Yes, I’m a man,” I also say “Smile, the world is too beautiful to frown at.” I’m known to be the vivacious mood-maker among my friends and peers. I may not always have a smile on my face, but I am rarely (pretty much never) in a bad mood. I am easygoing and fairly carefree. I don’t judge others, because I personally know how much it to be judged without cause. I accept and love everyone, even those that hate me. Even when someone is mean to me I don’t hold it against them. People say I’m too forgiving or understanding, but I honestly just don’t have the kind of energy to hate someone. I use all my energy doing other things, so there isn’t any time or even a will to linger on feelings of hate.
I am lighthearted with an exuberant, excitable, and flamboyant nature. Being as ebullient as I am, some people find it hard to keep up with me; people tend to think I have ADHD. I am perfectly normal though, I just have days when I’m particularly energetic, and with a busy school and work schedule, I don’t get to dance or practice martial arts as much to expend my excess energy. I am known for being high-spirited and excitable, always doing things enthusiastically and animatedly. It’s never a dull moment when I’m around, which is just the way I like it. I love making people happy and entertaining them, since it means they’re feeling good. My sister says that I am scintillating, like a bright star in the sky that twinkles and makes others feel at ease looking at me.
›› Maybe I’m not the brightest crayon in the box…
I have to admit, my imagination amazes me sometimes. I have outlandish fantasies and ideas at times, I even write down the ones that are interesting or possible (which is pretty much all of them). I can be quite the eccentric, getting excited over one of my crackpot ideas which hardly ever pan out, but heck it’s fun during the process. And, not surprising, I am a complete klutz. I trip over myself all the time and drop things. I will admit, I am also pretty ditzy and dense. Now, not to say that I’m an imbecile or anything, I just don’t understand certain things. I’m that person that will laugh five minutes after a blonde joke has been told because that’s how long it took me to figure it out. And, despite being slightly conceited, I also don’t really know when someone is interested in me unless they outright tell me; otherwise I just think they’re being overly nice and not that they like me or something. I can be a little over trusting, which makes me a little naïve. I think it’s just too tiring to be suspicious of people all the time and it just makes you paranoid because of this I can be a little impressionable and gullible. I never doubt others and believe them no matter what, which sometimes makes me look like an idiot.
›› More than just a pretty face…
I am an honest and sincere person. I see no reason to lie to others and always show people my true self, no matter what. I can be pretty straightforward in this aspect. One thing that people can always be certain of is that I am a sincere person. I am quite tactful and am not rude. If I make a mistake it’s because I’m young, but it is usually something that is fairly easy to overlook (like spilling something or saying the wrong thing). I am a pretty thoughtful person. I think about my friends and family more than I think about myself (which you wouldn’t think from how self-centered I can be at times). I have a sympathetic nature and am quite sensitive to the emotions of those around me. I’ve been called compassionate and loving, the type of person who considers others first and understands their situation. I can be a crybaby because of how sensitive I am and can be kind of emotional. This, mixed with how dramatic I tend to act can be pretty bad.
I have a passionate personality and work toward all of my goals and do everything with the utmost enthusiasm. But I can also be pretty possessive and greedy when I feel that something is mine and others are trying to take it from me, especially if I’ve already staked my claim. As I said I am pretty opportunistic, so when I see my opening I will immediately strike. I suppose I can be a little calculating in this way, though I seriously don’t consider myself calculating enough to ruin someone’s life. Though I’m book smart and I’m good at studying, it’s mainly because I’m observant and can figure things out easily. I’m still a clumsy ditz most of the time.
›› I’m beautiful, I know…
background 〉
›› The beginning
This bundle of beautiful was born in Itaewon, a section of Yongsan-gu in Seoul. I grew up with a happy home life. My parents have always been loving and supporting (though a little demanding). However, everyone loves my parents. I started learning martial arts when I was four years old, and a short while later I started learning dance. My father made it a requirement for all of his children to know martial arts, however because my mother wanted my sister to be elegant and beautiful she forced her to take dance as well. I envied my sisters beauty and grace in her dancing and so requested to start learning it as well.
That summer I met my first love. I honestly can’t say why I loved Kibum so much, but even after our five weeks together that summer he left a lasting impression on me. As the years passed and I got to know him more I couldn’t help loving him even more. Ahem, but that is later on down the road. Anyway, Kibum was always a bright and playful person so there was never a dull moment. The end those five weeks was heartbreaking. However I managed to get a little duck in Gwangju. Jongie was the cutest little baby ever, though I’m sure I only thought he was so cute because he loved me so much. Sungjong was a good distraction after separating from Kibum, though it was hard separating from him at the end of the summer. The poor baby cried buckets with snot coming out of his nose and everything.
Soon after we arrived back in Seoul, my sister and I were packed up and moved with our mother to Seattle. It would be natural to assume that my parents got divorced over the summer, however that wasn’t the case. My mother made plans with her American business partner to open a boutique in Seattle. My father chose not to go with her because of his business. My father owns a gym & martial arts studio and is also an investor for sports brands and the like. The timing was just bad for him because his gym was just getting recognized and was gaining more and more customers. The building that my mother found for her boutique was in a good location so if she didn’t snatch it up while she had the chance then it was likely she wouldn’t be able to find another shop that was in such a good location. It was all around just conflicting circumstances.
After moving to Seattle, my sister and I spent our first year perfecting our English skills. We went to language therapists and even spent extra time around martial arts and dance lessons learning English the entire eight years we lived there. By the time we left my English was actually far beyond that of the American born kids that were my age. And even after moving back to Korea my mother always made sure that Aerin and I kept up with our English skills. Anyway, while we lived in America I was actually relatively popular, though that could just be because I come from a well off family; plus I’ve always been the type of person that people find easy to approach. My sister probably would have been more popular if she didn’t always beat up boys, but what can you do? While we lived in Seattle, my mother’s boutique business boomed and she even opened two other stores. When her last store was opened and seemed to be doing well, she decided that it was time to move back to Korea and reunite with the other half of our family.
›› Back to the Motherland
The summer that we moved back to Korea, my father moved us to Ichon-dong, which is well known for its Japanese inhabitants. It is also in Yongsan-gu district, so it didn’t take us long to get moved. A week or so later my siblings and I were sent to our grandparents in Daegu, which had become the tradition. It’s sad to say that nothing really notable happened for the three years that I lived in Korea, at least not until the summer of my first year in high school.
At the beginning of summer my mother informed all of us that she was going to be moving to Japan to open up a boutique in Tokyo. Aerin, Chansung and I didn’t really have an interest in moving to Japan, however Injoong wanted to go because the engineering program in Tokyo was supposed to be one of the best. After going to Daegu I spent those first five weeks falling for Kibum even more. My love for him was on a level I would think to be impossible if I wasn’t the one feeling it. When the five weeks were over I made the biggest mistake of my young life. I kissed Kibum in a moment of stupidity while I was swept away by the moment. I told him everything about how I felt and was rejected. His reason? Because he was going to be moving in with my family and he didn’t want complicate our relationship. He said that it would be disrespectful to my dad for us to be dating behind his back and it would also be unfair to me because he wasn’t sure if he had those kinds of feelings for me.
I was crushed, to say the least, and left for Gwangju without even saying goodbye to Kibum. I think the rest of that summer would have been hell for me; wallowing in my own self-pity. But my little duck saved me. If Sungjong hadn’t stuck to me like glue for the following five weeks, I probably would have fallen into a deep, deep depression. He took me shopping and even went out on, I suppose you could call them, dates with me. The only time I thought about Kibum during that time was when Sungjong wasn’t around and I’d allow myself a couple of minutes to cry over my broken heart. When the summer was over I told my mother that I would go with her to Japan too and so I packed up my belongings and moved to Tokyo.
›› Goodbye my first love
Life in Japan was bliss for me. After arriving in Tokyo I couldn’t start school right away because of all the paperwork for my transfer, so I had to wait for two weeks after the semester started. I moved into the dorms at my new school since it was an all-boys school and was a subway ride and two buses rides from my mother’s apartment. That was how I met Hamao Kyousuke, who was my roommate and later became president of the Princess Yuni fan club. When Hamao found out that I’d never been in a relationship, despite being fifteen, he offered to be my boyfriend of sorts; really it was just to give me dating and relationship experience. We loved each other, but not the kind of “love” that most people feel when they are dating someone. It was shortly after the start of my relationship with Mao-chan that the Princess Yuni fan club was formed and almost everyone in the school was part of my fan club. Despite having so many followers I wasn’t worried about being attacked since it was a rule of the Princess Yuni fan club that the only person who was allowed to be close to me was Hamao; the president. However, that didn’t really stop guys who were particularly bold from confessing to me or slipping letters into my locker or my desk.
I have to say, after the first few months of school I had regained all of my confidence after being rejected by Bummie. I was new and improved by the time that I went to Korea the following spring, between the transition from first year to second year; I made sure Kibum was going to be in Daegu before I agreed to go back for a visit. It was a rare occasion for my family to be together again, since Injoong was on Spring break and decided to go for a visit as well. During that time Injoong met a girl and, to keep a long story short, she ended up having a kid with him. Injoong transferred to a University in Korea and became a single father soon after Jaein was born, since Jae-Jae’s mother left a few months after he was born.
The rest of my high school life passed with no special events and after graduating, despite my mother moving back to Korea after getting her second boutique in Tokyo off the ground, I decided to live in Japan with Hamao. However, a year after we graduated he met his current boyfriend, Watanabe Daisuke (yay for Takumi-kun references). It was a little awkward living with them since I felt like the third wheel; darn couples always being so inconsiderate of the single people around them… My mother had also been pressuring me to move back to Korea, so I suppose it was the perfect time to stop avoiding everyone.
›› Facing the music
I transferred to Yonsei University (which wasn’t particularly difficult since I’ve always had high grades; I’m just a genius like that) and moved into the house my sister and Kibum were living in. Of course the atmosphere was a little awkward, but Kibum and I both seemed to have a silent agreement that it would be best to completely forget about what happened four years before. We all settled into our lives quickly. Kibum helped me get a job for the modeling agency he worked for and I managed to get a couple of internships for the photographer and fashion coordinators I worked with as a model. A year later Sungjong moved in with us, so I was forced to share a room with my sister (though my closet was moved to Kibum’s room since we always wore each other’s clothes anyway). And once again we all fell into our own routines and started living our own lives.

HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS
Who is important to you?
❝ The Pushy Papa ❞
›› Father | Hwang Taehyung 황태형 | 48 (June 25, 1965) | Fitness Specialist / Martial Arts Trainer & Investor
personality | People outside of my immediate family view my dad as a generous, benevolent man. He gets along with pretty much everyone that he meets and is known to be cheritable and kind. He has an extrovert personality and people find him easy to get along with. However, if you know him as a family member then you know that his priorities aren't always in line. He spares more thought to others than his own family sometimes, which can inconvenience us at times. Not to say that this is a bad thing, however my dad's generosity makes it easy for people to take advantage of him and he never seems to learn, even when he ends up getting screwed over. He is a proud man who will never admit to his mistakes and can be pushy and overbearing, forcing his kids to do things even when they don't want to and leaving no room for arguments.
interation | I can't say that I have a particularly bad relationship with my father, but I can't say we are the best of pals either. I have always been closer to my mother than my father, and there has always been a sort of awkwardness between my father and I. Sure I can hold a conversation with him, however it feels more like business or formality rather than a familial closeness. He's just not the kind of person I can get close to since he is a particularly frigid man when it comes to physical contact between us.
❝ La y Mama ❞
›› Mother | Cho Kyungmi 조경미 | 54 (May 9, 1959) | Fashion Designer & Business Woman
personality | The one thing that people remember about my mother is her warm smile and welcoming attitude. She isn't judgmental and she doesn't discriminate against others because of their race, religion, ual preference, or social status. My mother is a genuinely kind and warmhearted woman. She is friendly, but isn't as extroverted as my father, she actually prefers for others to make the first move. She is wise and always has good advice to give. Aside from my mothers kind personality, she also has quite the attitude. She is a confident business woman with a saucy persona. Though she may be somewhat introverted, she does not hold back when it comes to business or her family. She can be like a tigress, ready to attack anyone who threatens what she holds dear.
interation | Aside from my noona, my mother has been one of the people closest to me. She's always been there to protect me or give me comfort and words of wisdom when I need them most. My mother is a very affectionate woman and likes hugging her children and holding us like we're still babies; though I suppose from a mother's point of view we will always be babies.
❝ The Nerdy Oldman ❞
›› Eldest Brother | Hwang Injoong 황인중 | 26 (October 4, 1987) | Aerospace Engineer
personality | Injoong has always been a nerd to the extreme. He likes reading textbooks, building things, learning, etc. Anything that you would think of when you think of a nerd, my hyung does it or likes it. His interests are all over the place and he gets excited over some of the most rediculous things (like new technology that's being developed, or an old game that is going to have a re-release). Along with the nerd stereotype he is also a genius with an IQ of 200. It doesn't take him long to figure things out and he meticulously plans everything out to the very last detail. He is mature and quite old fashioned, though he can't really be considered a chauvinist, his tasts tend to be more traditional. He prefers girls that wear long skirts and have long hair and prefers to be outdoors or reading a book rather than watching TV. He even reads the news paper and listens to the news broadcasts on the radio.
interation | Out of all of my siblings, I have to say that Injoong is the one that I am most awkward with. Though it's mostly because we have very little in common and so don't have much to talk about. However, he is always there to throw in his two cents when he feels he has an important opinion. He is also very supportive of my uality, despite being as old fashioned as he is. He is also very dependable and even though I may feel awkward with him at times, I know that he is always there for me when I need him.
❝ The Gorilla ❞
›› Second Elder Brother | Hwang Chansung 황찬성 [2PM] | 23 (February 11, 1990) | Physical Education Major (5th year, going for his masters and a certificate) at Seoul National University
personality | One thing to know about Chansung hyung is that he looks very Robust but can be the complete opposite at times. Sure, he's loud and extremely protective of my sister and I, but he can be quite gullible and dimwitted. It wouldn't be the truth to say that he's stupid, he's just far too trusting (a trait I fear he gets from our dad) and so people take advantage of him or dupe him all the time. He is a very kind person though and it's really hard to say anything that is too horrible about his personality. Though he is closer to my twin, I can't say that he neglects me in the least. Being two years ahead of me and my sister, he was always there to protect us or make threats when needed. He is a dependable person, so people can always count on him to do what he promises and to do his best.
interation | I like teasing Chansung by calling him a monkey or my sister's loved nickname for him of 'King Kong'. And even though Chansung might get frustrated he's never hit me since he knows that I only because I love him. We are relatively close and often spar with each other, though I always lose since he never holds back. (which is completely unfair since he always lets noona win!)
›› Elder Twin Sister | Hwang Aerin 황애린 | 22 (June 12, 1991) | Asian Studies & Korean Literature Dual Major at Yonsei University
personality | Most people have a bad impression of my sister. Because of her 'Anti-bullying' policy (stemmed from me being bullied by girls) people think she's mean. I will admit that she does have quite the fierce personality and can be pretty intimidating to people that don't know her. The main issue is with her attitude. She is sharp, witty and sarcastic; which can be quite the hateful combination. This, combined with her straightforward and outspoken personality, makes her one of the most hated people alive. My sister is tough though and doesn't let it affect her when someone doesn't like her. She knows that it's impossible to be liked by everyone, though I don't think that's really the sort of attitude she should have. That aside, my sister is actually very sweet and motherly. She cares about her family and friends more than most people. She places a lot of value in her relationships with people and gives her all for the people that she loves. Despite some of her more unpleasant qualities, I think that her good qualities are more important to recognize.
interation | My noona is the person that I am closest to, out of every person on the planet. We may be completely different, but we have a twin bond that goes beyond what most people can imagine. We know each other so well that we don't even need to talk sometimes. This can be a bad thing since that means it's also hard for us to hide things from each other. Some people find the way we can read each other to be creepy, kind of like we're communicating telepathically. Sci-fi movies aside we've been together since the moment we were born and we did everything together, I would find it weird it we weren't able to read each other as well as we do.
❝ Tricky Jane ❞
›› Nephew | Hwang Jaein 황재인 | 6 (December 13, 2007) | Kindergartener
personality | Jane is a little monster. An adorable, loveable little monster, but a monster all the same. This little trickster likes getting into all sorts of mischief and is the worst kind of prankster there is. He will pull a prank on you and then make you feel bad when you scold him. Jaein has perfected the puppy-dog look, with the huge, watery eyes, quivering lip and everything. He's a despicable little brat, but you can't help loving him. Since I always feel bad when I get mad at him, I get my own childish revenge on him by calling him 'Jane' in my perfect, little-to-no accent English. Though this gets me in trouble with my mom and Aerin when the hear me calling him this. That aside, Jaein is also a giant flirt and is always smiling at pretty girls or waving at them. He's even got to that stage where he uses his cuteness to kiss all the noonas. I can tell this boy is going to be a player when he gets older. My poor hyung... And, despite how energetic and wild he can be, Jaein also has times where he likes sitting down and being quiet. Ever since he learned how to read he likes taking books to a quiet corner and reading when he doesn't want to play.
interation | Jaein is probably the most challenging child I've ever had to watch. He is a sweet kid and all of us adults just love the goober to bits. However, it doesn't change the fact that sometimes you wish you could just tie him to a chair so he would sit still. But, knowing him, he'd figure out a way to escape anyway. When he's being a good little boy, and not causing trouble, I enjoy sitting down and watching a movie or two with him, or even reading with him. One of my favorite things to do is read him bedtime stories when Injoong hyung leaves him with us for a night or two.
❝ The Hyper Alien ❞
›› Best Friend | 浜尾 京介 Hamao Kyosuke | 22 (June 25, 1991) | Performing Arts Major at Tokyo University
personality | Mao is a spazz to the max. Though he is a sweet and gentle person, he's usually all over the place, doing something random or saying something random. The only time he seems to be focused is when he's working. He is really friendly, outgoing and vivacious; so he makes friends easily. He's also very clingy and likes hugging or sticking close to people, which can be a little stifling at times (especially when it's hot). He's an accepting person who just accepts others as they are.
interation | Mao-chan and I have always been close. He's just the type of person that doesn't let others hold him at a distance; not that I would anyway. It's dangerous when we're around each other because I will come up with some strange idea and he will follow me without question. We got lost in Hokkaido once because of this. We're also very touchy-feely when we're together, even though he has a boyfriend. (I secretly think Daisuke had a strange fantasy about watching me an Mao or something...)
meeting | Hamao was my roommate in the dorms at the all-boys high school we attended. He was also in my class and we later started "dating". He was also the president of my fan club in high school.
❝ My Diva First Love ❞
›› Childhood Crush | Kim "Key" Kibum 김 "키" 기범 [SHINee] | 22 (September 23, 1991) | Fashion Design Major at Yonsei University & Model
personality | Bummie, for lack of a better description is a diva. He likes things his way and most of the time really only cares about what he wants. He is straightforward and opinionated, which can make him pretty hateful at times. He is also a very jealous and possessive person and dislikes when people touch his things without his permission or when he feels like people are getting between him and his friends. Despite that he is actually a very caring person when you get to know him. He can be mother-like, worrying about his friends and taking care of them any way he can. I think this makes him kind of loveable. Though he also knows how to be a spiteful prick who likes riling people up.
interation | Though Bummie and I are close (having all the same classes and even working the same job), we tend to bicker quite a lot. We both have our own ideas and opinions, and even though I'm not a particularly argumentative person, Bummie just knows how to push my buttons. Despite that we actually work well together and our styles and ideals mesh well together.
meeting | I met Kibum when I was four when I went to visit my grandparents in Daegu for five weeks. My grandparents lived next door to Kibum's grandmother, who raised him. Kibum is also my first love.
❝ The Confident Face ❞
›› Best Friend in Junior High | Kim Jonghyun 김종현 [SHINee] | 23 (April 8, 1990) | Model & Musical Actor
personality | Jonghyun excudes confidence. He's handsome and he knows it, which makes him a little conceited. Like me he likes pampering himself and making sure that he always looks good. However he isn't the arrogant type that thinks he's above everyone else. He simply takes care of his appearance and shows off all of his hard work. Jonghyun is actually a very kind person, even though he can be pretty dense at times. He is good natured though and doesn't think ill of others just because they are different. He is very affectionate and loveable, being nicknamed the 'skinship king' in junior high.
interation | It was always easy being with Jonghyun. I felt like I could talk to him about everything. One of his favorite things to do was lay on me during breaks and take a nap. I think when I decided to go to Japan, Jonghyun was the person who was hurt the most. However we always kept in contact with each other by webcamming and writing letters.
meeting | Jonghyun and I met after I moved back to Korea. We went to the same junior high, however he was a year older than me, so we were in different classes. We officially met when he found one of the girls in my class bullying me because she thought I was too pretty to be a boy. My sister wasn't around to defend me, so it was a good thing that Jonghyun was there. We became close pretty fast and would always hang out during breaks and afterschool. At the time he was the only person aside from my sister who I felt I could talk to.
❝ The Adorable Duck ❞
›› Childhood Friend | Lee Sungjong 이성종 [Infinite] | 20 (September 3, 1993) | Beautician
personality | Sungjong, or as I like to call him Ori (오리; means 'Duck'), is very similar to myself. He has an exuberant and open personality, so people naturally feel at ease around him. Aside from being androgynous like me, he is also an animated and active person like me. Honestly I sometimes think of him as a clone of myself, just with a different face. However, one major difference between us is that Sungjong has a submissive personality in that he doesn't like fighting with people. He will give up an argument before it even really starts but later complain about it. He is a kind and caring kid who likes taking care of others, even if he will later whine about how people boss him around.
interation | Sungjong has always stuck to me like glue. As a child he idolized me and loved everything that I loved. It was cute, and also kind of annoying. And, as an adult his dream is to work with me in all of my endeavors by being a beauty coordinator. Sungjong really likes hugging and cuddling with me, especially when I'm distracted by a drama or a book. He seems to enjoy just watching me do whatever it is I'm doing. Little weirdo that he is... He's a cutie and I love him.
meeting | I met Sungjong when I was four. At the time he was two and even when I would see him every summer he would always follow me around like a little duckling. His parents lived across the street from my grandparents (father's side) in Gwangju. He had the most adorable baby babble.
THE COFFEE SHOP
Who do you love?
love interest name 〉 Jung Daehyun 정대현
position 〉 Performer
age 〉 20
How did they meet 〉
It was about ten months ago, I believe; the first time I laid eyes on Jung Daehyun. To this day I’m not entirely sure what it is that I liked about him that made me fall for him at first sight. After a collision that sent all of my sketchbooks and messenger bag splayed all over the street outside of Minam Café, I looked up to the person I ran into and who was helping me pick up my belongings. When my eyes met his I was star struck. All I could seem to do was stare at him. I distinctly remember thinking “Wow, his lips look delicious.” I was lost in a stupor until he spoke, saying a quick “sorry” before he went back inside Minam Café. Though I distinctly remember our first meeting, and every little detail, I don’t think he remembers it at all. Jeeze, my life is sad…
how do they interact 〉
He’s always whispering sweet nothings in my ears, hugging me, holding my hands, cuddling and kissing. We spend most of our time together lazing about and just enjoying each other. Oh… you meant in real life… Well… interaction… Umm… Does taking pictures of him without his permission or knowledge count? Alright, I haven’t said more than “good job” to him on any occasion since our first meeting. I always sit at a table where I have a good view of him while he's performing so I can secretly snap pictures of him with my phone (and sometimes my camera on days I’m feeling particularly bold). You might be wondering why I don’t just confess to him. Well, even though I’ve gotten over my first love rejecting me, I still have the scar and am a little bit insecure when it comes to confessing my feelings; especially when I don’t know if the other party is interested in me. So, for the sake of my pride I watch him from afar, take secret photos of him, and sketch clothes that I would someday love to see him wear.
status 〉 Photo Stalker & Unsuspecting Stalkee
how did he find the cafe 〉
My sister had been going to Minam Café for quite a while before I actually started going there myself. My only reason to go was because of Daehyun; though I like the coffee, to that point I only drank one cup of their coffee a day and that was when my sister got coffee for everyone in the morning.
how often does he go 〉
I go in everyday, usually around the time that Daehyun starts working (even on days when he doesn't work, because it would look too suspicious otherwise) and then I leave around the time he leaves. I also try not to go in when my sister is there, because that would just we weird to explain... (My noona is predictable, so I know that she goes there for coffee in the morning and for lunch on Monday thru Thursday)
the end?
Thank you for applying!
comments/questions 〉 Woohoo! Finally done! And now it's time for me to take a nap XD. Anyway, I was originally going to apply to be paired with Byunghun, but I thought a performer would be better (easier to picture stalk XD). I will add some scene requests/suggestions when my brain doesn't hurt so much X3. Anyway, I hope you like my character :)
scene suggestions 〉
›› Picture memories ~ “I just can’t help myself."
As weird as it might sound, I keep a photo book with only the best pictures I’ve taken of Daehyun. I only put one photo in for each day and also write a little comment about what I learned about him, or something that I liked about him that day. I write my comments in English and Japanese so that if anyone, aside from my housemates, got their hands on it, it would be unlikely they could read what it says. I also have an external hard drive that I use to store all of my pictures of Daehyun, though I’m beginning to run out of room… I hide both in camera case (my sister likes calling it my ‘man purse’).
›› School Project ~ “Need money? Model for me
For one of mine and Bummie’s fashion design classes we were given an assignment to arrange a photo shoot (which meant finding models and also a photographer) and designing outfits to an assigned concept. Some people were given holidays, some were given a word “prompt”. There were a lot of different concepts. Though I can’t really say we were “assigned”, we actually just drew a slip of paper from a hat. My paper said “mix” while Kibum’s said “grunge”. This assignment was supposed to be our final. We were given the assignment in the middle of the semester and we were supposed to focus on it for the rest of the semester since it counted for a giant chunk of our grade. Of course Bummie and I were going to work together by sharing models and I was also going to be the photographer for both of our assignments. The hard part wasn’t even finding models, it was actually thinking of a unique way to present our concepts as well as designing / coordinating the outfits.
Anyway, on to the most important part. While I was waiting for Daehyun’s show to start one day, I overheard him talking to one of the other Minam staff members about how he needed to get another job so that he could get his older brother a good present for his wedding. I found that as my chance to actually spend time with him. I told him that I would pay him if he would be a model for me and Kibum (I offered to pay him 300,000 won (about $280 USD) per photo shoot. And that was how I got Jung Daehyun to be my model.
›› The Alien ~ “Enter Mao-chan, the Japanese spazz…”
Mao decided to pay me a visit and showed up at my house without notice after he had a major fight with Daisuke and they started talking about breaking up. Hamao, depressed and in need of his best friend, came all the way to Seoul just to find me. After venting (with a little bit of crying) for almost two hours, Mao made me take him to Minam Café (which I had told him about when we web cammed) so that he could see “the infamous Daehyun”. Of course he couldn’t resist making comments about how he approved and also comparing himself to Daehyun (saying things like “isn’t my better than his though?”). However, when he heard Daehyun sing he immediate shut up and told me that he would help me however he could. That night he met Kibum (who had been at a photo shoot when Hamao arrived) and kept telling me how he was glad that things never worked out with Bummie. He even molested Sungjong a little (I mean, my little duck is adorable, I can’t really blame him).
However, with Hamao there, taking up a lot of my time, Sungjong started getting jealous. He constantly put himself between me and Mao and never let us be alone together. Sungjong’s jealousy was rather short lived though. After a couple of weeks Daisuke showed up to take Hamao back to Japan. And though I was sad to see my best friend go, I was happy for him (and maybe a little jealous).
›› Getting Caught ~ “Is it time for a confession?”
During one of the photo shoots with Daehyun I took all of the things out of my camera case, trying to find the appropriate lens. Unfortunately I forgot to put my things back in the bag and while I was taking photos of one of the other models (Jonghyun, Sungjong, Kibum, or Aerin) Daehyun saw the album I carry that has the pictures of him. After flipping through it and seeing his pictures he took it so that he could have someone translate it for him. And me, well I freaked out when I realized it was missing.
After having Byunghun translate the English for him, he confronted me about the book. I couldn’t lie to him since he already knew what I thought of him. So I decided I should probably tell him the truth, though maybe not entirely. Instead of telling him I had a giant crush on him, I told him that I admired him because he was good looking and charismatic.
anything you want to add 〉 Nothing, but if I think of something I will let you know.
