Kwon Aeri

appearance

— cause looks are important

face claim — Park Jisoo
back up — Lee Hojung

Aeri would be best described as a angelic and mysterious looking woman who you can't help but to return her smiles whenever she takes someone's order or when she is busy with making coffee for the customer. Aeri stands tall at 167cm and weights around 53kg with not much of a bust or a rack, which actually doesn't bother her that much as she is pretty happy with how she looks. A slender body, but not in a way of being too skinny, as she is all for maintaining her body and health. She has got naturally wavy long thick black hair that hangs just a few centimeters underneath her shoulderblades, but currently has dyed her hair light brown. At home she would just let her hair in loose waves or a messy bun. There is a tiny crown birthmark on the right side, close to her belly button. The piercings Aeri has is one earpiercing on both ears and one inner conch. Aeri doesn't have any tattoos, but wants one. 

fashion style

— walk walk fashion baby

How to describe Aeri's fashion style, She doesn't really have a particular style and likes to experiment as she is still trying to find out what she is most comfortable in. I guess most would describe her fashion style as hipster/bohemian which she isn't sure if they meant it as a compliment or an insult, but oh well she'll take it. On casual occations Aeri would probably be wearing jeans with on top some casual top/shirt and a leather jacket or oversized cardigan. On dates it's more likely she'd be wearing a dress and a jacket/cardigan that would compliment her body type.

Depending on the weather of course, she would be wearing mostly jeans with a simple sweater and an buttoned up blouse underneath in the winter and fall. While prefers to wear a tank top with shorts or a skirt on a hot summer or spring day. You'll easily see her wear any type oThe shoes she would probably wear varies from converse to pratforms or a pair of boots. You'd rarely see her wear high heels as she refuses to wear them. 

  

personality

— positive traits: responsible, patient, authorative, jaunty
— negative traits: absentminded, stubborn, worrisome, perfectionist

We're just as responsible for the things we do as for the things we don't; Aeri is a conversation starter. When seeing someone for the first time she isn't afraid to walk over to someone and say hi. What helps a lot when she has to fill in as a waitress at the fly high cafe, where she easily is able to connect with the customers often resulting in chatting with the customers. That is basically the reason why she's asked to help out as waitress whenever the cafe gets really crowded. It sometimes occures that Aeri is staying a bit too long at one table as she is listening to their customers stories. She'll probably will get scolded about it at the end of the day, but they appreciate her input and help as a lot of costumers come back to the cafe. When working as pastry chef what she was hired for, Aeri is giving it her 100% and doesn't get distracted easily. Aeri is someone who takes a lot of pride in her work and delivering something half assed isn't in her nature. Like when it's a small thing or something big Aeri is patient about it and doesn't let anything just ruin her creations. If they do well let's just say they are going to see a different type of Aeri. Because of that people usually bend in Aeri's favor. She carries herself in a way that demands respect, making others feel like they don't want to dissapoint her.

The less you reveal the more people can wonder; Like she said Aeri tends to be quite mysterious about her own personal life and isn't someone who would talk about her problems with just anyone as it has to be someone she can really trust. Besides what's the fun in knowing everything about a person when you just met. Let's keep it more interesting shall we. Aeri herself has a lot of imagination and can come up with the weirdest conclussions, catching the people who have only met her or just don't know her well off guard. While the people around her who do know her well and are considered friends will only roll their eyes and sigh. 

I do way to much thinking, before I go to sleep; Even with her jaunty personality Aeri can't help it but to overthink cetain situations, causing her to worry about what seems unnecessary to others. Maybe it's because of her need to be able to control a sitiuation she want it to go, letting her perfectionistic side come to light. 

Sorry, wait what did you say?; A little bit absentminded when Aeri is feeling tired and there's a high possibility that she will flat out ignore anything someone says to her, especially if she considers it utter bull and can come over as moody. Her stubborness shows when Aeri has set her mind to something and it will be difficut to talk her out of it. That also goes for when she has to do something she is totally against.

background

— a part of my life, so listen to me cause I'm important

Aeri is born and raised in Suwon, Gyeonggi, South Korea, living there with her parents and older sister. As the youngest of her family she got a lot of their attention and affection, but not necessarily more that her sister Dari. There family was and still is very set on their independence and had always supported their children in a lot of ways, if it was realistic enough, so that their two girl could reach their full potential. Their parents met each other when they were on a vacation trip in Jeju with friends. 

In elemetry she started get intrigued by baking and music. With some the help of her mother when she was free from work Aeri started to make whatever recipes were in those children's cooking books and getting pretty good at it. It happened when Aeri saw all those colorful, cute and pretty looking desserts when she got to one of the biggest pastry shop's in suwon with her mother. She couldn't help it but to be fascinated by it and seeing the people around her enjoying their pastry and chatting with each other happily. Music was a whole different story it started when she met her friend Kang Inhwa where she mostly has spend her time at. Piles of old LPs, CDs, instruments and anything music related where all over the place, since Inhwa's father was a wellknown musician it didn't came as a suprise. It was the first time she got so fascinated by music, it's instruments, genres etc. and also one of the many reasons what made her want to become an musician herself. She even begged her parents to let her take music lessons, not really caring which instrument and eventually at the age on eight they put their daughter on piano lessons, which she enjoyed to the fullest. 

While in high school when Aeri was free she was often seen going to the school her mother worked at to help her out and entertained the kids when allowed of course. She did that until she got too busy with her own school work and had to focus on it more as finals and exames were coming. Another thing she started on in high school was writing a lot of poetry and lyrics to get things of her chest or just for the fun of it, but was never really confident enough to actually do something with it and therefore from that moment on she decided to focus more on becoming a pastry chef one day. Which her parents and sister supported without a doubt as they new how much she loved it.

Jung joonyoung

— Jung daehyun

personality — Dramas really mess up women, seriously; He is a doer that lives in a world of action. Honest and carefree are two words that describe Joonyoung pretty well. Joonyoung is someone who says what he thinks and sometimes the truth can hurt, because he can't just keep still while he is bothered by something someone did or said. Maybe that's also because of his carefree character and isn't afraid to take risks. He is someone who enjoys to live in the moment, living life the way he wants to live and often comes up with ideas or plans to do on the spot. Some are brilliant, while other ideas are more reckless. Even though he doesn't really care too much about others opinions, he cares for the people that are close to him.

I'm not arguing. I'm simply explaining why I'm right; Joonyoung has a witty way with words. He is someone who can think of clever comments or jokes about something on the top of his head, but not particular being rude or offensive way. Often making others laugh. At the same time some people misunderstand it and think he is just a cold insensitive jerk, which he sometimes is depending on the person and mood he is in. If he's cold towards someone he will most likely stay away from that person and ignore them, not feeling like he should even give that person a second of his attention when he has better things to do.

If it's important to you, you'll find a way, if not you'll find an excuse; Under all his thick layers that he's hiding under, his sensitivity is something not a lot of people get to see or at least they aren't aware of it as they think he's just insensitive jerk, while Joonyoung isn't afraid to voice out that they have offended him. This guy can hold grudges for quite some time if someone has. He doesn't like to be burdened and therefore loves the freedom of rock music. Because of this, many people think that Jung Joon Young is a free spirit who cannot be controlled. 

relationship —  The if you don't stop right now, I swear I'm gonna grab your face and kiss you relationship; The tend to bring out the best in each other, but not without occasionally the friction that comes with it. As they are both caring people and have a passion for rock music, it's not that weird that these two can easily communicate with one another, sharing a strong and close bond as they have the same mentality/outlook on life. Aeri may be a bit less reckless than joonyoung and overthinking certain situations, making it hard for her to actually go somewhere without having a back up plan or without a plan at all, something Joonyoung has no problem with. Overall the two deeply care for each other and don't even try to hide it. Of course they have their own opinions about certain things and aren't afraid to voice them out to one another. 

history — The independent rocker and the poetic pastry baker; The two met each other at their cafe where Dabin was working as a the baker on her normal shifts, but with it being an busy friday night she was asked by her boss woohyun to help the waiters and waitresses out. At that time a tall lean guy was walking inside with a guitarcase on his back. He sat down and looked at the menu, when he was certain in what he wanted to order, an ice cappuccino. One of the waiters walked over to him as Dabin was busy with taking all the drinks, desserts etc. to the right person. She knew it was rude to steal glazes, but something about him made her curious who he was. Especially after seeing th guitarcase, as she herself always wanted to play the guitar, but didn't have the time too. It didn't take long before his order was ready and was brought to him by Dabin. here you go, one ice cappuccino. She politely smiled at him before really thinking asked him about him being an musician/guitarist, seeing his guitarcase. She could have seen it coming as she answered her with a witty remark. A bit taken a back, Dabin quickly apologizes and walks back to desk, getting to take her next order. Since that incident that night she decided to stay out of his way as he clearly wasn't in a good mood and her helping him again wouldn't be the best thing to do, or so she thought. The hours went by fast and before she knew it Dabin, her boss and coworkers stood outside saying their goodbyes and see you tomorrows.

Everyone left to their own house, while Dabin had to take the road to her sister's house as she had to take care of her nephew for a while. What she didn't expected was to see the moody guy from earlier walking towards her. She didn't really want to take a run for it or stop so she just kept on walking. He would either way catch up on her or give up. Besides if something would happen she had some pepperspray with her for incase of emergency. The guy eventually caught up with Dabin and started to slower down his pace trying to catch his breath. 

Eventually replying to him with a why do you care? attitude, causing the guy to raise an eyebrow, but let's out a sigh of defeat. guess I deserved that. The corners if Dabin's lip went slightly upwards, forming a tiny smile. Seeing her reaction, he continues. but seriously do you always walk home alone at this hour? Dabin looked at him and nodded. yes, but why I'm actually in a hurry right now, so can you get to the point of this. please. She wasn't ready to drip her defensive act just yet. Besides she was curious to what more he has go to say. I didn't know I have offended you this much, I first of all wanted to apologize for that. He stopped for  a second to see her reaction and seeing Dabin averting her eyes towards him, the guy continued and walking alone at night isn't the best option for a cute girl like you. Dabin was still quite skeptical about this guy's sudden change of behaivor, but decided to let him be as he didn't seem to mean any harm. besides if he would try anything stupid Dabin always got her self defense. I'm Jung Joonyoung by the way and again he waited for Dabin to tell him her's. With a small sigh she gave in Yoo Dabin. the two continued to talk the whole way to her sister's house and she was actually starting to feel more comfortable around him. He in his way told her about him being in a rockband as the lead singer and guitarist, that he was touring around the country. While in Dabin's turn she told him about her working parttime at the cafe and combining college, about her wanting to be a composer/songwriter one day or owning her own cozy coffee shop and going to babysit her little nephew. After arrving at her sister's house the two said their goodbyes, but not before Joonyoung promised he would comeback to their cafe. After a week Joonyoung came back and they eventually exhanged phone numbers, earning a few looks from across the room, Dabin could feel their jealousy. The two started to text and call each other frequently when they had time and Joonyoung would often visit their cafe.
