( ❀ ) — run devil run.

Chaerin.. A fitting name. A name she already felt she would come to remember. Though if her name wasn’t memorable enough the proposition Chaerin gives her makes her raise an eyebrow and stop the swirling of her glass. That was.. impulsive? Questionable? Odd? Interesting? Let’s just call it everything for now. She could only take the latter’s word for it that she worked with the CIA, but Eunbi had encountered enough guys playing investigator or cop to try and grab her number. Silently nodding the bar singer almost says a “yes” or a “no” right away, whatever would have left her lips though she pushes herself not to. Taking a look at the card atop the bar right beside her glass Eunbi is tempted to run to the locker room and pull out her phone to google the name plastered on the card; but right now she couldn’t be f– to. Frowning softly the bar singer drags the edge of the card along her fingers, mind spiraling deep in thought before pushing her half empty glass away. Some might have drank to pretend things didn’t happen, that wasn’t the case with Eunbi. She knew she wasn’t dreaming. And in her mind she was somewhat already planning to accept because apparently, why the hell not? It could also serve as a perfect way to get as far from her parents as possible. For now at least. Getting up and pocketing the card in her back pocket Eunbi heads back over to the stage, giving the crowd a smile. “Due to a change in plans, my break is cut short.” Cut short by herself. Ryujin would probably ask about it later. “So here we go.”

“you’re a fool and awful at this, you know that right?” hyunah raises her eyebrow as she continues to lecture her older sister, “you should have spent a bit more with her, get to know her a bit. she’s probably going to think you’re after her number or some shit-- god, you got the brains but you have no flirting skills.” chaerin is quick to roll her eyes at her sister’s remark. she did have the flirting skills, hence how she got to the top in the cia but that was a topic chaerin didn’t discuss - it was best left behind. “i offered her to come with me to the states for a week. you still think i am playing around?” she raises her eyebrows and glances over at hyunah before taking a quick sip of her drink. “... you did not... you fucked it, that’s what you did.” hyunah shakes her head incredulous. “you’re lucky your name is printed everywhere in the fucking states so when she googles you, she’ll see you were honest. what’s so special about her anyway? she’s just a bar singer. you can do so much more than that.” she could. chaerin recognised that, but sometimes the heart wants what it wants and when she glanced at eunbi, it said it wanted her in that moment, so chaerin decided to take it. what was so wrong about that? “haven’t you got somewhere else to be? where’s your bad boy at?” almost as if on cue, hyunah stands up and fixes up her dress, “he’s right there. text me if you need me, see you at home.” hyunah presses a kiss to chaerin’s cheek before wandering off, meanwhile the director’s eyes locked on the female back on stage. would the girl take it, or would she not; she’d have to wait to find out though honestly, she wanted to give the female a quick apology for her impulsiveness she really should’ve approached it a touch differently.

Though she’s a bit torn on whether to accept the drink Eunbi does with a slightly wider smile. A part of her wasn’t too keen on drinking tonight but the bar singer knew her limits, besides what was bad with accepting a drink made and given to her right before her eyes from a pretty woman? That was probably a bad philosophy, but it’d do for Eunbi for now. Hearing the woman call her cute the bar singer can’t help but let out the softest of chuckles. She knew she could play up a few things here and there but when it came down to it she wasn’t too much of a cute flower girl. But if the compliment was coming from this stunning woman than she would take every single one. “.. Eunbi.” She says with a gentle smile, taking a long sip of her drink. “And you have me at a disadvantage now…” Eunbi trails off, glancing at the woman and silently asking for a name in return. Sister? Weird shit? Eunbi knew all about that. An almost laugh escapes her lips as she covers it with her palm, shaking her head. “That’s sisters for you isn’t it?” With that thought in mind Eunbi almost already begins contemplating making plans to go see her younger sibling – before abruptly scrapping it from her mind. Visiting her younger sister now meant visiting her parents and that.. wasn’t going to happen. Swirling the alcoholic drink in its glass she somewhat wishes she was behind the bar tonight instead. Perhaps if she were then she’d be the one serving this woman in particular. “No, I’ve never been.” She lets out softly, “But it’s always been a vacation I’ve had in mind. How is it there?”I

eunbi. she’d keep that it mind for sure. hearing the latter pretty much ask for her name, chaerin can’t help the chuckle - the female didn’t recognise her at all, good. perhaps if she mentioned her siblings the latter would recall her; after all hyunah and hyoyeon achieved far more fame in korea than she had. “chaerin. not at a disadvantage now, are you?” she grabs on to the glass and takes a rather large sip of it, doing her very best to ignore hyunah’s more than obvious hand gestures telling her to just go for it. well, chaerin didn’t quite work like that. she liked getting inside the other’s head before getting anywhere near physical, hyunah worked the other way round, of course. “yeah it is, and i have two so check me out.” she glances down at the latter’s glass before looking up at her features. “the states are really nice. i work out there, so i am rarely ever here in seoul.” chaerin explains before leaning just a touch closer to the girl’s ear, “if you’d like, you could come with me for a week.” 

perhaps she’s offering too much on the go, but it was worth a shot. pulling back she glances over at the girl with a smile before shrugging ever so lightly. “before you think something else, i work for the cia.” not that that meant shit but well - at least she wasn’t out there shooting people right and left. “i’ll let you think about it, yeah?” reaching inside her pocket, chaerin pulls out a business card with her number on it. “if you make your mind up and want to come along, give me a call. or text me, that works well for me too.” perhaps the mystery factor would have the other inclined to come along with her, who knew. “i’ll stop bothering you, don’t drink too much or your voice will start going, i’ll be keeping an eye on you, eunbi.” when the other went back on the stage that was. chaerin held on to her drink and quickly slid past the girl to head back to the couch next to hyunah with a small smirk playing on her lips. “see? i am no pussy.” she nudges her sister who is a little too busy scolding her for having left the girl’s side so soon. “shut up. i have a feeling about this, and who’s the investigator here? exactly, so shush.”

Rather mindlessly ghosting her fingertip along the rim of her glass Eunbi looks up at the voice beside her. She’d be lying if the woman beside her didn’t catch her attention right away and make her lips tug up into a slightly wider smile than it already was. “.. Sex on the beach.” If she wasn’t working and was having it even rougher than she was already feeling it would probably be straight whiskey. Taking a sip of her drink Eunbi has to seemingly tear her eyes and mind away from the silver haired woman, smiling at her boss now serving the patron beside her. “Unnie you think I could pull a bit of a longer break?” She even bats her eyelashes though she knew she didn’t need to as she pulls a soft chuckle from Ryujin who nods. “There’s no rush tonight, go for it.” Ryujin says, eyes glancing from her employee to the silver haired woman who she sets her ordered drinks down in front of. Reaching out to affectionately tap the younger’s cheek Ryujin slides back down the bar to tend to another patron. Though Eunbi was of course told and knew that tonight was one of the less busy ones she noticed how the rest of her co-workers were off doing something, she couldn’t even go and steal Jozlyn for a bit to talk if she wanted to. Taking another, longer sip of her drink Eunbi rests her chin atop her open palm, eyes occasionally drifting back to the woman beside her.

good taste right off the bat. chaerin looks over at the bartender and gives her a nod to confirm the other’s request as if it were her own. briefly catching up on the conversation between the two, chaerin is able to put together the fact that the bartender is also the owner of the bar or at least the one in charge for said shift. smiling down at the counter as she notices the other bat her lashes at the female, chaerin maintains her silence. could the girl be any cuter really? what the fuck was she doing messing around with innocent people like that, since when did she even get mildly interested in whoever it was? chaerin’s interests lie in wealth, living comfortably - not a two-legged being. mentally scolding herself, chaerin hears the glass being placed before her and looks up before sparing the girl another look. “i won’t bite you, just thought i would pay the cute looking singer a drink.” she vocalises, a somewhat innocent smile tugging at the corner’s of her lips, “you have a beautiful voice... i didn’t catch your name?” sparing her previous sitting spot a look she sees hyunah teasingly clapping and can’t help the small chuckle before turning her attention to the girl. “i’m sorry, my sister is over there doing some weird shit that is going to definitely get her ass kicked later on.” she excuses herself before quickly managing to pull herself together, “that’s one of my favourite cocktails too. i drink plenty of those over in the states.” hence why she was now sticking to a korean cocktail - something she wouldn’t have on a daily basis. “have you ever been to the states before?”

new starter for @rundcvil​ based off prior plotting - chaerin x eunbi.

Just a quarter way through the night and for some reason tonight Eunbi was feeling a bit.. off. She had her off days, such as this one, and usually she would manage to brush it off. But tonight it just seemed to loom over her like a giant shadow she just couldn’t get rid of. Perhaps it was the million and one phone calls her mother had made to her last night; she didn’t answer any of them. If anything the bar singer was becoming more and more inclined to change her phone number. Tapping her fingers along the end of the microphone she sends the bar patrons all a soft smile before mentioning a quick fifteen minute break. Stepping off the well lit stage she slips a hand in and through her blonde hair and lets out the softest of sighs. Eunbi was tempted to just ask for the rest of the night off but considering that tomorrow was Monday and she would have been off either way, she didn’t think it right to bother Ryujin about it. Instead the bar singer takes a seat at the bar top, not wanting to make the trek all the way to the staff locker room right now. Not even needing to order a familiar face appears before her from behind the counter, the oh so contagious smile Jackson sends her brings a small one out of her as he sets a drink in front of her before moving on. It already felt like it was going to be a long night.

what some people would call a break, chaerin called work - whether it was in the states or in seoul, she was always on the move. deciding to take her sister hyunah out for a drink since the last time she’d been in seoul had been quite some time ago, chaerin decides to stick to a known but unusual bar. typically the sisters would opt for fancier, sophisticated, rich but sometimes keeping it on the down low was a good idea for business, especially the one they had at hands. “hyo should be coming over in a few d...ays... are you listening to anything i am saying? you’re practically eating the poor girl with your eyes.” hyunah teases her older sibling with a small nudge before chaerin drops her hand atop the latter’s thigh with a somewhat harsh but playful slap. “i am not doing anything at all, she just sings well. you were saying hyo is coming over in a few days?” she glances back to spot the female jumping off from the stage and heading over to the bar. chaerin practically scans her from top to bottom, and hyunah was no fool - she knew her sister well enough to know when the latter was interested in what she saw. nearing the edge of the couch they sat side-by-side on, hyunah leans closer to chaerin’s ear. “i’m just going to give hyo a call see how she’s doing, and if when i am back you’re still sat here, i’m hitting on her myself.” the small smirk on hyunah’s knowing lips is enough to have chaerin sighing - worst part was, she knew hyunah would do that just to poke a nerve. fuck. getting up from her sit the second her sister walks off, chaerin approaches the bar leaning briefly against it near enough to the singer. “can i get a baijiu cocktail and...” turning to look over at the female, chaerin smiles ever so slightly before speaking up, “what do you drink, beautiful?” a little charming here and there never hurt anyone, and really she wasn’t going to risk hyunah coming back and getting it her way because she’d witnessed it plenty of times before, hyunah was rather good at it. 

NEW MUSES

hunter ong.

hunter ong, is the greek gods apollo’s 1st reincarnation. the name choice obviously came from the fact his twin sister - now diane ong - is the goddess of the hunt, so he picked the name hunter for annoyance purposes. originally, hunter had no intention whatsoever in going after his twin sister after she abandoned olympus in her own quest to find orion, but upon hearing that zeus was making her life a little harder on earth, he had no other choice but to go looking for her and tell her that she wasn’t making any of them proud; she wasn’t helping any of them out. it took him years to find out where she could be, but upon stumbling on the name artemis on some sort of parchment - which humans dubbed as a newspaper - he knew immediately she had to be nearby. wandering the streets, hunter eventually came across her and almost had her killed in a fight between the two. it didn’t take long for them to settle down the argument and agree on a partnership: apollo would help her find orion and in return, artemis would gladly allow him to tag team alongside her in the criminal activities she engaged in. 

it didn’t take long for him to pick his own alias as apollo, and coincidentally, his modus operandi was rather similar to his twin’s too: sticking to bows and arrows rather than mechanised and overly complicated weaponry. occasionally teasing artemis whenever he notices her interest in either male or female, the god wastes no time in poking some fun at the fact she is still a virgin goddess even after so many reincarnations; that topic never really sits well with the female and ends up in apollo with an arrow stuck to his shoulder most days. fully aware that his sister had fallen for orion, apollo discretely does his best to find out more about him and his whereabouts without artemis’ knowledge. during his time on earth, apollo met quite a few people and found a different type of interest in a female named daphne, who sadly didn’t seem to be on the same boat as he or constantly kept running from it for reasons apollo didn’t know. of course, that led to a little more banter between the siblings, with diane now being able to poke her own fun whenever she saw her brother get rejected by said female.

THE BACKGROUND STORY

(tw: prostitution mentioned, tw: suicide mentioned, tw: crime, tw: weapons)

Cha Hyunah and Kuan Hyoyeon are fraternal twins that don’t share the same father. Their mother, a high-level prostitute (as she’d call herself), had sexual intercourse with two men in the same night - which resulted in her getting pregnant with twins. At the time, she already had a child aged three, Lyang Chaerin. The custody of the twins and Chaerin were given to Lyang Hoseok, a wealthy business man that lead a stable life in Seoul, South Korea. Despite not being the father of either twin, neither of the twins’ fathers stepped forward when it came to claiming their paternity, claiming it had been a one night thing with their mother. With barely any contact with their maternal figure, the custodial fight for the twins lasted for a few years, well into the twins’ early teenage years.

Growing up with their half-sister Chaerin and seeing her as someone they could rely on in a maternal way, the trio became very close from the very start, relying on each others when times got rough, when the twins’ mother would try to come take them away despite having no conditions to raise them, nor intention to leave behind the life of prostitution for a stable nine to five job. The custody fight ended with their mother eventually taking her own life. When Chaerin became of age, her father introduced her to a world she’d never seen, to a world no one thought he carried on his shoulders: the world of organised crime. Teaching Chaerin from a young age was just the beginning of a legacy. Upon the tragic incident that led to Hoseok’s passing, Chaerin took the twins on board - teaching them everything they needed to know about the life they were meant to carry on. She trained both twins differently: choosing to enhance Hyunah’s skills in edged weaponry and Hyoyeon’s in hand-to-hand combat. 

It wasn’t long before crime took over the cities of Seoul, Busan, Daegu, Incheon, and so on. Little things from the start: shop lifting, street racing, theft but things quickly took off for the newly formed trio, now self-dubbed, LKC. Low crimes no longer phased them, South Korea didn’t hold an awful lot for them so they went on to pursue different careers among themselves: Chaerin as the mastermind of the trio opted to go straight down the criminal justice route focused on tainting it more than it already was to give her family the life they all deserved; Hyoyeon followed a personal interest and went into dancing, initially she specialized in contemporary but soon switched and remained in hip-hop which she still teaches around the world; Hyunah was always the trickiest of the three as she held no particular interest other than money and reputation, so she worked her way up to the top becoming the CEO and model of a fashion brand.
