You are a college freshman approaching the end of your exam week as the sun falls down from the sky and the moon comes back out. No, this isn’t one of those imagines fics where you’ll lead the story – it’s nothing like that, but let’s just say that we’re looking in your perspective. You are a character in this story, but you have to figure out who you are. By the end 0f the story, you’ll have to guess who you are.

So, back to your house. Freshman year’s ending after the finals and the culture festival, and there you were, lying down on top of your bed – nothing out of the normal, actually. Your best friend’s on the other side of the city, and really, can you drive to the other side of the city? Not really. You crashed your car on your mom’s garage a week ago. So to keep yourself entertained, you decided to open your YouTube app on your phone. To your surprise, a familiar channel and its recent video appeared on your recommendations.  It’s that one channel that’s quite famous in school since it’s run by one of the seniors and popular people appear on it every now and then, even the popular people in your batch.  Oh, right, you were interviewed by the channel owner when you’re not even close to the person of interest in the video. He was just someone you saw every now and then in class. He’s Jung Chanwoo. He was that one kid in school who knows everything. For some reason, when you ask him something, he knows. He’s an insider. And the big news?

He’s starting an online blog.

He’s starting a blog, so his older siblings and his best friends made this vlog interview to help him out in starting this blog, to ensure everyone that he’s not the type to destroy someone.

Or is he, now?

Are you ready to start guessing who you are and why you’re in the interview?

-- The Interview –

It starts with Bobby Kim, the director and the owner of the channel, Bob’s Channel. He’s being interviewed by the assistant director, and the cameraman. “So, who’s Chanwoo for you?” The assistant director asked.

Bobby: Well, my brother is dumb, but he’s not THAT dumb.

Kim Bobby – Chanwoo’s half-brother, Electronics Engineering senior, 1995-liner. Owner of the channel. Weird, as per Chanwoo’s saying, but nice.

Bobby: Anyway, he’s a good kid, and he won’t do anything stupid if that’s what you’re worried about. Move over, Yein, you’re next.

Yein:  Do I really have to do this?

Bobby: Yes, Yein. Do it, we need people to trust our baby.

Yein frowns.

Yein:  Just, can I just say that I’m 13 minutes older than him? And what else do I need to say? That I need my bragging rights?

Jung Yein – Chanwoo’s twin sister, older by him by 13 minutes. Fine Arts freshman, holds the camera, but not the camerawoman. She needs her bragging rights since high school. Hates the cameras. The University’s biggest hacker.

Yein: Fine, he may be a but he keeps secrets well.

After her, she motions the assistant director to come into the frame. 

Eunbi: That’s all you’re gonna say?

Eunbi raises a brow at Yein.

Yein: I have nothing else to say! Now, what can you say about Chanwoo?

Eunbi sighs and rolls her eyes.

Eunbi: I don’t have much to say about him.

Yein: See?

Eunbi rolls her eyes once again.

Eunbi: I don’t have much to say but I’ll straight-up say that –

Hwang Eunbi – Chanwoo’s best friend since they were in diapers. Med School freshman, will fight anyone for Chanwoo. And I mean, anyone. Her nickname’s Hwang Eun for a reason. Known for her temper and short patience.

Eunbi: Just don’t touch him and we’re good.

The words were enough to send shivers to someone’s spine.

After that, Eunbi pulls out to the camera the cameraman, taking his place.

Eunbi: Alright, pretty face, you’re going on next.

Yein laughs.

Yein: Moonbin, you don’t need a paragraph to explain Chanwoo, okay?

Bobby laughs right after him and Moonbin sighs

Moonbin: Chanwoo… he’s shy.

Moon Bin – The last third of their squad, Chanwoo and Eunbi’s best friend since kindergarten. Princely mainly because he can’t use chopsticks and only knows a fork, knife and a spoon. Architecture Freshman. Dating someone.

Moonbin: He’s very shy with people he doesn’t know so we know that he wouldn’t do something stupid.

He smiles a little.

Moonbin: Am I the last in our group?

Yein nods. The crew headed to the courtyard, where they find Boo Seungkwan, taking his break with a bottle of strawberry milk on his hands.

Bobby: So, who’s Chanwoo for you? Like, really, who was he for you?

Seungkwan crosses his arms and glares at Moonbin.

Seungkwan: What’s this about?

Eunbi shrugs

Eunbi: Chanwoo’s blog, deal with it. Please keep it real, okay?

Seungkwan nods.

Seungkwan: “Is it on?”

Bobby frowns.

Bobby: Kid, just say something about the other kid and you can go on with your life.

Seungkwan: Right.

Boo Seungkwan – Chanwoo’s classmate, loud, bubbly and fun to be with. Pre-Law student. Chanwoo comes to him for notes because he has decent notes. Everyone loves him and even Chanwoo looks fondly over him.

Seungkwan: Chanwoo… was never absent in class? Like, he’s always there, chilling, debating on some socio-political something, fighting for gender equality or something like that.

Eunbi and Yein both gave Seungkwan a thumbs-up before immediately finding Jang Yeeun. Bobby’s tempted to run away.

Moonbin: Yeeun!

Yeeun raises a brow. She and Moonbin are classmates in their AutoCad class.

Yeeun: What’s up?

Yeeun tries to be nice but then, she sees the camera.

Yeeun: What’s that for?

Moonbin: It’s an interview.

Yeeun: Moonbin, this better be worth my time.

Moonbin: I’m sure it will. Who’s Chanwoo for you?

Yeeun’s brows furrows in confusion.

Yeeun: And who the hell is that and why do I care?

Jang Yeeun – One of the people Chanwoo doesn’t know but the editors know. She’s always known to be someone who’s scary. She’s the youngest captain of the Robotics Team, and at freshman year, she’s already running for laude in Robotics Engineering.

Yeeun: Moonbin, I told you, this better not be a waste of my time.

She frowns.

Yeeun: You better run off now.

Moonbin: Yes, Ma’am!

The running crew now saw Kim Yewon, who’s fixing her club’s booth.

Eunbi: Hoes, it’s Yewon.

Yein: Does she know Chanwoo?

Moonbin nods.

Moonbin: Classmates, you know, Pre-Law kiddos.

They approach Yewon and began filming.

Bobby: Hello, I just wanna ask.

Yewon: Oh, hello!

She smiles at everyone.

Bobby: Right, who’s Chanwoo for you?

Yewon stops for a bit.

Yewon: Chanwoo helps out a lot in schoolwork, especially when we’re groupmates.

Kim Yewon – Chanwoo’s classmate. Quiet, prim and proper. It was rumoured that Chanwoo had a crush on her back on the first term, but it was just a rumour, no one pursued in finding out the truth, anyway.

--  the editors decided to cut this part since she was just praising him for a full 15 minutes –

After Yewon, they now saw Jungwoo who’s walking out from his last class. To be real, he saw Yein FIRST.

Jungwoo: Yein, you didn’t attend class?

Jungwoo notices the camera.

Jungwoo: What’s this for?

Yein: We’re doing a vlog for my brother, he’s starting a blog, so we’re doing this as his opening video in the blog.

Jungwoo: Really now?

He shrugs.

Jungwoo: I guess I’ll just send you the Blackboard Homework, then. 

Yein nods.

Yein: While you’re here, can you do the interview, anyway?

Jungwoo shrugs again.

Jungwoo: Okay. What’s the question?

Bobby: Who’s Chanwoo for you?

Jungwoo furrows his brows and he glances at Yein.

Jungwoo: Chanwoo? Isn’t that Yein’s younger brother?

Kim Jungwoo – Yein’s classmate, a Music and Contemporary Arts Major. Known for his quiet attacks, subtly invisible but hardworking aura.

Yein and Bobby laughs out loud.

Yein: I always knew you were on my side!

The group and Jungwoo says their goodbyes and Moonbin comes out of the background to greet someone with a wide smile and a big hug. Yein and Eunbi can only roll their eyes.

Moonbin: I missed you, Jie!

Moonbin heads for the camera with his girlfriend, Jieqiong.

Bobby: Jieqiong, I’ll make this simple. Who’s Chanwoo for you?

Jieqiong narrows her eyes.

Jieqiong: Is this for the blog thingy?

Everyone else nods.

Jieqiong: I trust Chanwoo, he’s a trusted kid. He’s not the type to mess up. And he’s organized – he has like, until Plan Z on backup plans, if anything.

Zhou Jieqiong – Bin’s girlfriend. Chanwoo’s the reason why they got together. She’s a Diplomatic Affairs Major, and she’s known for her beauty – as in, legit beauty.

Jieqiong: Although we have to admit that he DOES know a lot. Right, Eunwoo?

Eunwoo, Jieqiong’s friend, comes closer since she maintained a safe hearing distance from afar. She also greets Eunbi. Bobby pushes the camera to film Eunwoo.

Eunbi: Do we have to film even the people who don’t know Chanwoo?

Bobby: They both have a –woo at the end of their names, let’s at least take a shot.

Eunbi: Wow, you and the point are so far away, the point’s at the sun while you’re at Pluto.

Bobby: Hwang Eunbi, I’m at least 3 years older than you, I do not deserve this slander, kiddo.

Yein cuts both of them off as she stares blankly at Eunwoo.

Yein: Girlie, who’s Chanwoo for you?

Eunwoo raises a brow.

Eunwoo: He’s Eunbi’s friend?

Jung Eunwoo – I also don’t know why Bobby asked to get an interview of Eunwoo. She’s Eunbi’s classmate, also in Pre-Med. She’s dating this guy named Kevin.

Eunwoo: Uhh, I don’t know him elsewhere other than there.

Eunbi: Well, if we’re going to ask anybody about Chanwoo, then we might as well get us a complete stranger.

Eunbi looks around, and she notices Chwe Hansol. Hansol was running around and Eunbi pushed the camera to film him

Eunbi: Hansol!

Hansol slows down but still keeps walking.

Hansol: What?!

Eunbi: Who’s Chanwoo for you?

Hansol: Uh, I don’t think we knew each other!

Chwe Hansol – Cute and wealthy, that’s how the school knows him. He majors in Economics.

Hansol realizes that he’s still on the run.

Hansol: Damn, I’ll talk to you later, Eunbi!

And he dashes off. Bobby glares at Eunbi.

Bobby: Great, do you have better ideas?

Yein notices another person who Chanwoo knows, one of his classmates, Seo Soojin. She immediately calls her.

Yein: Hey, Soojin!

Soojin smiles.

Soojin: Hey. What’s this?

She notices the cameras.

Bobby: It’s for Chanwoo. Can we interview you about him?

Soojin nods.

Soojin: Why, of course.

Bobby: Who’s Chanwoo for you?

Soojin: He’s very sweet.

Seo Soojin – Chanwoo’s classmate. She’s a Pre-Law student and she’s known as one of the smartest kids in class. Chanwoo often asks her for homework, and in return, he gives her something she asks for.

Soojin: You can see that he’s well-loved at home with his personality.

Moonbin: Wow, Chanwoo must’ve paid lots of people!

Soojin shakes her head.

Soojin: I beg to disagree. But we’ll see, in the blog.

While the story's a part of the LINERS SERIES, [ CHANWOO'S BLOG ] will not require you to read the first two stories. All three stories are different in plot, characters and the likes.
