legally blonde

it's moments like this when she finds herself missing gwangju. sure it's a city just like seoul is, but she can't help but feel intimidated by all the people who are from here. of course, it's beneficial for her in some ways. for one, she's able to get merch on her own without anyone from her hometown noticing her. it's also a good place to help practice her seoul dialect so she doesn't sound like a country bumpkin, though there's nothing wrong with sounding like one. but coming from a city that she's lived in all her life to being in the big city all on her own for her first year of university...

she's glad that she can have a brand new start... but being an introvert, it's like, where can she begin?

orientation alone isn't enough to help her socialize with others. sure, she's in the anime club, so now she's able to talk to others about jjk. but it's a shame that she's found another place where she has to put on a mask to gain attention or any sort of connection. as she's walking around campus, she can't help but envy the pre-established connections people have already made with others. students walking with friends to classes, a group eating lunch together at a table, a boy on his phone saying he'll be late to class...

all of a sudden, she stops in her steps as she notices a girl walking by her on the plaza. but she's not looking at the girl specifically (though her water bottle is cute and the way she styled her hair is neat), but rather... an assortment of stickers. stickers of miles edgeworth and phoenix wright from ace attorney.

with her fair time on the internet (and having other mutuals who are as perverted as her), she's seen the pairing often on her timeline and dashboard. she's never played the game before because she's too busy brainrotting over her current hyperfixations, but she's had many mutuals write fics, draw fanart, and even headcanon about them often that she knows tidbits. she couldn't help but feel... comforted at the sight of them. so much so that she's mentally gaining the courage to turn back to talk to the girl who seems preoccupied by something.

now, however? she’s embarrassed to even admit it to herself, but she’s gotten so turned around that she can’t remember which way her dorm is. which she probably should know by now, having spent a week here already, but hey— it’s not her fault there’s too many buildings! she might be a city girl, but she’s not used to attending a campus that’s anywhere near this huge.

her steps are aimlessly going in circles around the plaza at this point, a sour expression on her face as she’s about to admit defeat and ask for directions, however embarrassing that might be. before she gets the chance to look for someone who might know (like a senior. god, they probably know so much by now. or even better, a grad student), sera hears a voice coming from behind, causing her to whirl around in surprise.

“oh. hi!” her eyes slightly widen, though she’s sporting a grin as she studies the unfamiliar girl in front of her. her eyes go even wider at the girl’s compliment, and sera can barely contain her own excitement — she almost wants to jump up and down like some toddler who just got promised candy for dinner.

“oh my god, really?!” stepping forward, she envelops the girl in a hug — without stopping to think about if it’s a bit too much, to just hug a stranger like that. well, in sera’s opinion, they’re practically best friends now, because so far, no one else on campus had recognized her stickers.

(assuming the girl even recognized them, or just thought the art style was neat. she didn’t exactly specify, but sera will let herself get her hopes up.)

regret, despair, embarrassment, humiliation - only the avatar kangmin can master all four elements and bring imbalance to his world.

he doesn't know how, he thinks he might really have to go for an eye-test soon, check in with an ophthalmologist about his eyesight because once is an accident, but twice is a catastrophe. he has no idea how this had even happened; he'd been so careful too. maybe kangmin should stop dating people with similar names as his friends altogether, that way he'd be able to avoid this from ever happening again (sending his less than savory photos to someone else).

with a sigh he leans against the laundry machine, puffing out his cheeks, as he goes through his contact list. damn, avoiding people with names similar to that of his friends might be hard. the washing machine whirrs, loud in the laundry room, and kangmin can't help but lift his eyes from his phone.

it's oddly quiet tonight, usually he'd be in the company of someone else, someone he can share his woes with. and as if on cue, he notices a familiar figure walk into the laundry room, and immediately kangmin's waves her over. yes, this is exactly who he needed to see at this very moment. a voice of reason, a pragmatist, someone logical, someone he can go to for advice - sera, of course (kangmin's never been the best at describing people).

"sera, i need your help!" he says aloud.

but the biggest enemy of them all? laundry.

there’s little else she hates more than having to do her laundry, and so she puts it off. which, perhaps unsurprisingly, is not the best idea. because now here she is at almost midnight, with weeks worth of laundry piled up, almost nothing to wear other than mismatched pyjamas. and she has to do it all now, if she wants to have anything to wear tomorrow (and if there’s one thing she refuses to do, it’s borrow anything from olivia. she loves the girl to death, but there’s a terrifying lack of pink in her closet). 

there is, however, something — or rather, a person — who tends to make doing laundry more bearable, and sera is praying to whatever mighty powers might exist that she’ll run into him tonight. if she’s gonna be stuck in the laundry room for what’s looking like hours, with how much she needs to wash, she wants to at least be entertained by some good gossip. and a good conversation partner, she supposes, but the gossip is definitely more important — she won’t even try to lie about that. 

maybe god, or some other higher power, actually does exist, because the first thing she notices upon entering the dreaded laundry room, is kangmin’s voice. gaze immediately finds his, a grin forming as she spots him waving her over. 

“oh my god, thank god you’re here.” she lets her basket filled to the brim with clothes fall to the floor with a loud thud, as she stops by the laundry machine next to his. she should probably get started on loading her clothes in already, but she doesn’t want to. she’d much rather be hearing about whatever it is kangmin needs help with — and no, she can’t simply just do both! listening to gossip requires her full attention. 

her voice grew a little steadier as she went on, though still quiet in a way that felt almost apologetic. "sorry. i must've looked really out of it. i didn't mean to ignore you." she offered a faint smile to reassure sera it wasn't personal. while she was still a little socially awkward, she always made an effort whenever someone spoke to her. she just had a bad habit of drifting too far into her head when things got quiet. nayul adjusted slightly so that she wasn't still curled in on herself. "um… it's a collection of short stories," she explained, angling the cover just enough for sera to see without leaning too far into her space. "a bit of comfort reading, i guess."

sera frowns slightly at mayuki’s next words. “are you okay?” she leans forward slightly, eyes narrowing as she’s attempting to study her friend, trying to see if anything is amiss — other than her being distracted. “why are you sitting here if you’d rather be left alone?” well, the recreation room is currently empty, so suppose it’s not a terrible idea, but you’re bound to run into someone here eventually. “do you have a roommate you’re avoiding?” 

she falls quiet for a moment (truly, a rare occurrence for sera), eyes lingering on the book in mayuki’s lap. her gaze scans over the cover, though it still doesn’t seem familiar (and, if she’s being honest, perhaps not something she’d be interested in. which is fine!). though she’s soon invited to speak again, and you never have to ask sera twice. 

“oh, mayuki, i thought you’d never ask!” she lets out a dramatic sigh, throwing herself back against her seat, head falling back, nearly hitting the wall. “i am so bored. i’m pretty sure no one has ever been this bored before, ever. like, in the history of humanity.” so she’s exaggerating, juuuust a little bit, but that’s truly how she’s been feeling all day! no one’s been paying her any attention, in the slightest!” then, she sits up slightly, glancing back at mayuki, a silent plea in her eyes.

things get a little spicy between soyi and @legallysera at the bonfire so they decide to cool off in the lake and totally not participate in gay activities.

soyi has a tendency to get bored easily. however, her reputation is important. participating in school-wide activities is very important to improving her renown at yeonhwa, and eventually achieving her goals of ascending to the top of the social totem pole. and political totem pole. anything that gives her power, really.

however, after about 45 minutes of sitting around the bonfire, she's about ready to do something else. she doesn't want to go to sleep, and she doesn't want to wander on a hiking trail alone, or anything like that, so she isn't sure what to do.

maybe she just needs to switch things up a little. she peers around the campfire, then spots an open seat beside sera. sera is, at the very least, interesting, so she decides to hop up from her own seat and plop down beside sera without even asking her if someone else is sitting there.

"i'm convinced lee eunho has hooked up with at least two girls here already," she says, without offering a proper hello or introduction. she moves her head in the direction of where the guy is sitting so sera knows where to look. there's a girl that keeps giggling at what he's saying sitting next to him.

safe to say, sera has been spending the past ten minutes or so glued to her phone, due to the lack of… well, anything really, happening around her. at least the cute pictures she kept adding to her pinterest boards were more entertaining than her fellow yeonhwa students, at least at the moment. 

the fact that it’s soyi who’s sat down next to her is promising, though. out of all her friends and acquaintances, sera isn’t sure she knows a better gossip than her. and, sure enough, there’s no pleasantries, no ‘hello, how’s your day going’ — just straight into it. “what, really?” sera’s eyes widen, gaze following the direction of soyi’s head. 

she’s right. lee eunho is sitting not too far from where sera last saw him, but with a different girl than last time. did she really miss that much while glued to her phone? huh. maybe ancient people do have a point when they say kids these days spend too much time on that damn phone. 

“oh my god.” she looks back at soyi, giggling. “yeah, earlier i saw him with park s… soojin? i think that’s what her name is. damn, he moves fast.” another quick glance in his direction, though this proves to be a mistake. the girl he’s with now, whoever she is, is staring right back at her, as if she knows they’re talking about her. had sera really been that loud…? she’s got too much alcohol in her system by now to properly judge the volume of her own voice. 

“oops.” she suddenly whirls into motion, grabbing for soyi’s hand to drag her along. “i think we’ve been caught. lets…” she briefly trails off, just double checking whether the girl is still glaring — yep, she sure is. well, that settles it: sera needs to get away from here, at least for now. she’s not about to fight some girl over some man she could not care less about. 

little did she know it was dragging sera around with her at not even 6am to go for a morning jog. it's the little things. warm morning air. sera's little ruffled: unnieeeee's. the way it feels to jog and let it all go.

she stretches too, following sera's lead (she would have forgotten otherwise), jogging ahead (just a few stretch is good enough right? no need for the whole routine), and then pausing to jog in place. garam points roughly the direction they were headed just as sera is catching up and it is crazy how garam can already sense the danger. danger to her ego in that little smirk. "i..." she squints. "now sera. do i seem like the type to take such a bet? when the odds are so far out of my favor?"

she pumps her legs to jog just that little bit faster (not so subtle), and her grin goes a bit wild and bright, "wait, wait; what do i get when i win?" she's side by side with sera at least now, so she won't start at disadvantage. of course the whole race is a disadvantage for her but, she'll make it work. "i get to take you to the next football game." she wagers; "it's boring alone... what's your bet?" she asks a bit innocently...

“yes? why not!” she laughs, nearly giggles. “you love me, don’t you? are you going to tell me you don’t love me enough to give me every opportunity to win?” she squints her eyes, though lips are still stretched wide. “maybe my confidence needs it today!” (it doesn’t. god knows it never does.) 

they’re moving forward now, which sera takes as a sign garam will actually take her up on the bet. still grinning, she keeps her pace somewhat slow, enough to be able to comfortably talk, and maybe instill her best friend with some form of false confidence before she beats her. “what!?” sera’s gaze shoots over at garam, eyebrows raised in something akin to horror. “why!? agh, unnie, you know i hate sports!” (track doesn’t count, of course!) she lightly bumps her shoulder into garam’s. “why do you need to go to a football game, anyway? what’s in it for you?” her eyes squint, as she’s studying her friend, somewhat suspicious of her intentions. 

“oh, my bet? hmm…” she trails off, gaze moving away from garam, looking up at the sky instead, a touch dreamily. “i think i waaaant…” there’s no opportunity to make demands, because suddenly, garam is no longer next to her, but running up ahead. that sneaky, sneaky girl! it takes sera a moment of shock before she properly realizes she’s been tricked. 

“hey, not fair!” she yells out, before setting off in a sprint. it doesn’t take long for her to surpass garam, and sera sends a triumphant smile over her shoulder. she had been planning on taking it slow, but if garam isn’t going to play fair, neither is she!

it’s easy, familiar — the feeling of her feet hitting the ground as she runs. the way her breath burns in her chest as she pushes herself to top speed is almost a comfort. sera doesn’t like sports, but track is different — it’s become her favorite way to decompress, to relieve all the built-up energy in her body. 

YERIM

sits next to agatha on the bus ride there.

claimed one of the treehouses as her own personal sanctuary, and spends most of the weekend hiding out in there. kind of doesn't really want to be here in the first place so she'd at least like some peace and quiet. maybe someone is trying to use the same one, and they have to either fight over it or coexist?

attended one yoga session on saturday, but quicky realized she hated doing yoga outside, so she didn't attend another. might have even left early tbh.

definitely would take charge during dinner preparations. she's not about to let her idiot classmates ruin her meal.

goes paddling with joon on saturday against her better judgement but ends up having a surprisingly good time.

owns at trivia tbh... like she's gonna smoke the rest.

kind of doesn't do much else on account of not wanting to be there in the first place

sits with yua on the way back home!

MICAH

sits with miyeon on the bus ride to the camp!

the unofficial camp dad. he's brought extra of everything — bandaids, bug sprays, bandages, sunscreen, tissues, bottles of water, etc. etc. whatever u might need, he probably has it!!

also very willing to share his toiletries with those who fall victim to the thief lmao

definitely one of the first who will volunteer to form a search party if someone gets lost hiking

probably ends up doing most of the work while cooking if no one else wants to. just wants everyone to actually get to eat something LMAO. will share his meal if someone is in another department where the cooking doesn't go as well.

brought his camera and he's so willing to be someone's photographer if they happen to need one.

since he has his own room on account of being a grad student, he def has open doors if anyone needs to escape from their assigned roommates for whatever reason. wake him up in the middle of the night if u need to, he'll help u out

in general just kind of involved in everything i think!!

busy stargazing after the campfire... but goes back alone </3

sits with yujin on the way back to campus

SERA

sits with jiahn on the way to camp!!

someone save her from a bug. she's gonna be screaming bloody murder and maybe even jump into your muse's arm. and then the bug in question is just a tiny spider, a beetle or some shit

participates in the outdoor painting, and while everyone else is painting landscapes, her painting is just a pink mess. she proclaims herself the next picasso

yeah she's basically useless when it comes to cooking... she'll try the first day, but probably skip out on it the second day and try to either snag a plate without helping, or go leech off some other department. sorry fellow law people, but honestly it's for the best to not let her near the kitchen

participated in the trivia night and swore she'd win but probably flopped severely. cue her team being lowkey annoyed w her...

wakes up early on saturday to accompany garam on an early morning run to watch the sunrise. will likely be a bit cranky for at least a few hours after breakfast because of this

later on saturday, she gets lost on a hiking trail bc she swore she didn't need a map but she is directionally challenged and DID need that map. someone can maybe get lost with her, or be the one to find her

she is most definitely a snack thief. maybe someone catches her in the act? she would swear she's just investigating tho!!

speaking of investigating, she's probably trying to figure out who exactly is stealing ppl's stuff... bc like.. that's illegal? kdsjfslkmfs

most definitely participates in the drunken talent show. whether she has any actual talents to show off is debatable... someone tell her to shut up and stop singing screaming?
