Growing up learning ballet had meant for her to grow up with critics a lot due to making mistakes in the beginning but also later. But because she’s someone growing up with soldiers trained basically in front of her door, she always only took it as an order to improve herself and since she’s rather on the obedient side, she never took it in a bad way, isn’t even properly able to. So critics, despite receiving them often, always were subconsciously understood as command and with stubborness she worked on that. Not getting cricits - be it good or bad ones - would make her uncomfortable, thinking there must definitely be something wrong, for not getting told any words after a practice. She got rid of that habit later when having no teacher anymore by reviewing herself with continueous practices and videos being taken.         On the other hand, thanks to permanently receiving critics in her childhood and knowing about the effect it had on her, it took big part in her not growing up normally, with less fun outside than practice inside. But comments turning from negative critic to positive reviews were quite some fuel for her, eventually it made her love this dance more than anything else.         Nowadays she doesn’t receive all that much critics anymore for dancing, unless she’s trying to learn some new dance and asking for advice, but rather in social circumstances at times for being slow, naive and maybe even stupid - in some way. It wasn’t a problem in school where she just needed to be quiet and do well with studies whcih she easily succeeded at but later in university, with more interactions needed, it became a bit more difficult for her and for formerly only opening up to very few people, she also got worse with expressing herself for her shyness, something that turned into being a part of her character now.         So while critics help her get better with her hobbies, for her character it is rather damaging for leaving her helpless and unable to improve since it needs to come up naturally with each person. But generally critics were a big part of her childhood and teenage years so she isn’t turning them down or getting defensive when receiving criticism.

If there is anything that Seunghyun didn’t understand the most, it’s women. The way they thought, what they wanted, what they meant, what they were implying, anything. And having no particular interest or sympathy towards almost everything as one of his bad habits just made it worse. But this time he tried to be different. He tried to at least make sure that everything was alright with his friend, no matter how bitter or cold she sounded. “Are you sure? Are you really busy or are you avoiding me?” he took a few moment to look at her before heaving out a deep sigh. "Hyeonu-ya, will you ever try to at least open up to me?”

   If his friends asked where he had been, he tells a small fib. “I was just gone for awhile. Exploring.” That was his usual response and even though his friends had an odd hunch about it, knowing the vampire they’d just brush it off and kept to their conversation. I suppose the female had recognized him coming down the street. She had stopped to talk to him, saying how she remembered him walking the streets everyday as she would pass him. Although Kyungsoo never paid attention to the people that he passed, unless they caught his eye when it came to his urges, but other than that he wasted no time in looking. He gave his normal response when she asked where he had been, even if he didn’t recognize her the problem was that she did. “Do you want to tell me what really happened?” The women asked bluntly. Kyungsoo was taken aback by her inquiry and was at lost at words. How could she have known the small fib he told to everyone else he knew, or maybe everyone was aware of his lie and just never spoke of it. Nonetheless, the female wasn’t someone he felt comfortable knowing about this and he kept his mouth shut for a little while longer before he finally mustered up something. “Well, you know. I was off hunting in different states, just testing my abilities.” The demon played it off casually, at least to say he thought so himself and kept an eye on the women for her response.

As a consulting detective it is my job to observe things; things like observing one’s physical appearances for example. When it comes to you what I found to be most eye-catching is you in this particular outfit. It’s simple enough, yet, it’s also striking due to the bold color scheme.

my head is filled with stories, books litter every corner of my life and you are the most interesting of all tales. so why do you insist on hiding away?
