you sit idly at the swings, staring at the families and couple around you. the sun paints the park in orange glow. hearing footsteps behind you, you turn around to meet minji's eyes.

"hey," she greets as she sits beside you. "what did you want to meet up for?" she asks you and she looks so cute with one of her eyebrows raised and her lips in a small smile.

you furrow your eyebrows at her. "i was about to ask the same thing. you're the one who gave me a note saying you have something to tell me." you reach to your left pocket to take out a yellow note.

she watches you cautiously, her gut already forming a hunch. she could see it from a mile away. but its too late.

minji takes a note that looks similar to yours out of her back pocket. she watches your face attentively, witnessing how the gears on your mind twisted and turned before the realization dawning on you. she averts her eyes shyly.

"guess we got played, huh?" you smile bashfully. and minji's lips turned upward automatically.

suddenly, her face turned blank and at the corner of your eye you see her fists clench on her lap. she didn't look serious or nervous, just blank and frozen. yet, her eyes bore into your soul.

in her mind, minji thinks its far too late to turn back. there's no point in doing so even if she can anyway. you were here and she was in front of you. only a fool would let a chance like this go to waste. minji is a coward but she is no fool.

"i like you."

PHAM HANNI

• she would throw herself off a cliff before confessing her feelings. no, not because she's scared to be rejected. but she wants you to be the one to confess.

• flirts with you every opportunity she gets. and if there isn't any she makes one. her day cannot be over without seeing your blushing face.

• every time she compliments you its paired with a hug or a kiss in the cheek just to show she means it with all her heart

• then she teases you for being so flustered because she's cheeky.

• always touching you one way or another. whether it be linking your pinky fingers or leaning her head on your shoulder. you name it.

• hanni would be doing everything in the book apart from confessing. she doesn't mind how long it takes, she'll get you to confess to her.

• however, she does drop hints to speed things up. like making you sit through thousand of rom-coms. and when one of the protagonists profess their undying love, she always wonders how being confessed to feels like.

you sit at the couch with hanni curled up beside you. the two of you were wrapped in a fluffy blanket while the empty bowl of popcorn is nestled between hanni's arms. you don't know it but hanni doesn't move to place the bowl to the coffee table because she fears that moving an inch would make you remove your arms around her.

a familiar scene comes onscreen. you know this part, it's the scene where the main characters confess their feeling to each other. "we've watched this so many times. i can literally recite this scene word for word," you keep your gazed fixed on the screen.

"really? say it to me then," hanni's reply came natural, like she practiced saying that line a thousand times. your head snapped to the girl beside you to find her already waiting for your eyes.

"let's see it then," she challenges. her smirk ever widening. you yield.

"i love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. i love that it takes you an hour-and-a-half to order a sandwich." you recite the first two lines with the help of the actual movie, turning to it every time you forget a word.

your gaze fell to hanni one more time, and the lines came naturally flooding at the top of your head. yet, the words got stuck on your throat for a moment as you see her watch you with a fond smile. "i .. i love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like i'm nuts."

"i love that when I spend a day with you, i can still smell your perfume on my clothes," your smile fell slowly word by word. your heart skipped at the realization that the words, no matter how unoriginal, came straight from your heart.

hanni looks at you, overjoyed. her heart swells at every syllable that leaves your lips. she'd hang every star in the sky just for you.

"and i love that you are the last person i want to talk to before i go to sleep at night," you finish. and only then did you realize how close your faces are.

a silent second pass consisting of the sound of the forgotten movie in the background.

"i meant it. every word," you confess.

"took you long enough"

MARSH DANIELLE

• she's the first one to realize her crush on you. because she's that in tune with her emotions

• dani tries to make it obvious. and in hindsight it is.

• she leaves cute notes at your locker filled with pink hearts. that asks about your day, or reminds you to eat and never lets you forget to take care of yourself

• miss marsh makes time to talk to you everyday, going out of her to meet you no matter how inconvenient the situation is to her. her class might be at the other end of the school but she'd still show up to bring you a cup of coffee or tea.

• but you still don't notice any of her advances. and its starting to frustrate her.

• but could she blame you? she is friends with the whole school. it was only natural to think you were of her many close friends who she enjoys the company of

danielle walks besides you. you glance at her for a moment and god she is so bright. the sweetest. she shines as radiant like no other. and the best part is she's right beside you.

"thank you for always walking me. you're such a nice friend," you think at how she's been nothing but nice ever since you've met her. an angel.

you look back towards danielle to see her frowning at you like you just cursed at her. "what's wrong, dani?" you ask a bit worried at her sudden mood change.

"a...friend,"she mumbles the word to herself in disgust. her eyes on fixated on the ground.

"yeah? im glad you consider me close enough of a friend. i mean you have so many friends,bi just think im lucky," you say like its so obvious. and danielle finally meets your eyes, they held disappointment.

you were denser than she thought. or were you just deliberately looking the other way. her minds is breaking in two thinking of all the reasons why you still have not caught on to her intentions yet.

"i didn't think you were this oblivious," she says straight to your face and you were about to take offense when you realized you had no idea of what she's complaining about.

"well, why don't you stop sulking and tell me what the problem is so we can fix it, dani," you wait for her response eagerly. what has made sweet danielle so irritated. you ensure revenge on anything anyone that dares to harm precious dan-

"its you."

"what did i do?" your words came out like a cry, putting your hand on your heart dramatically in shock.

"you're too stupid to realize i like you."

KANG HAERIN

• poor girl never realized she had a crush on you.

• everything just came natural. she didn't think of you as a friend yet the thought of being your lover never crossed her mind either. and she never stopped to think what that meant

• she never missed your presence because she tries to follow you everywhere. although she resembles more like a lost puppy rather than a shadow.

• before everyone knew it, she was acting like your girlfriend. all the while she is still unaware of her own feelings.

• one day, she just start sitting with you during lunch. and from that day forward, you both eat together. sometimes in comforting silence, other times in quiet chatter.

• she didn't even notice she was waiting outside your classes just to walk you to your next.

• haerin needed the words of others to finally know what she's been feeling

"here. let me pay," you took your wallet out you pocket and opened it. suddenly, haerin placed her hand on top of yours.

"no. i was the one who invited you," her hand snatched the bill quickly. and when you tried to reach get it out of her palms, she puts it out of your reach.

thankfully, night time meant there were only a few people in the cafe. but that doesn't mean your little squabble didn't get their attention though.

"nope," your hand pulls her arm back gently. "come on, give me that."

"come get it then, shortie," she laughs at your attempts. haerin's heart jump as you try to get closer and closer. your hands brushed with her for a second, her skin tingling where your touch met hers.

"look, why don't we just split the bill?" you relent, you knew haerin too well to know she'd never hand that booklet over even if you attempt a thousand times.

"give up already?" she teases but she puts the bill down. and you take this chance to grab it and run to the cashier, handing her your money swiftly.

"come on, that's so unfair," haerin complained as she walked over to you, admitting defeat. she would've run to chase you but a part of her wanted to see the victorious smile adorning your face.

"shut up, loser," you stuck your tongue out. you look back towards the cashier who is looking at the both of you with a small smile. "oh to be young and in love again."

"oh- uh- we're not, actually we're...yeah," you fumble, making the old woman in front of you laugh.

"oh, i know." she smiles at you mysteriously like she knows something you don't. she hands you the receipt and you bow at her one last time before exiting the cafe.

you look behind you to see haerin deep in her thoughts. "hey don't mind what she sa-"

haerin puts a finger on her lips, "shush, i'm thinking." you roll your eyes playfully at her but still giving her silence like she wanted.

haerin's thoughts drift from the little ache she tries her hardest to ignore when you're away to the way her heart drums in her ear when you're near.

everything felt like a puzzle finally coming to place. well, she would've come to this conclusion on her own but she was too occupied pinning over you to notice. she wasn't shocked, more like "aha!"

haerin's hand caught your wrist to stop you from walking. the moonlight illuminating your confused face. she looks at you, chill and cool as ever. as if she'd let her voice waiver at a time like this.

— she's just such a huge mood booster. like she can instantly bring a smile to your face because she knows how to.

— she's a big complimenter! if she notices you wearing a new shirt or have a new hairstyle, she will instantly shower you with compliments.

— she loves quality time so she would try to do various activities with you. whether it be having a picnic or being able to go to an amusement park, she would love anything that requires you both spending time together!

— adding onto that, she would love to share any hobbies she likes with you! would get really excited when you enjoy them as much as she does :) <3

— i'd say she would love traveling with you. would excitedly plan out where you'd both go and where to eat!

— i'd say she's pretty talkative so she would definitely talk to you about anything really.

— when things don't go to plan (like sudden weather changes or schedule changes), i think she would be pretty bummed out. she would apologize when it really isn't her fault :')

— big fan of cheek kisses. do you see the vision. i see the vision.

— i feel like if you’re shy in public or around anyone else, she would constantly reassure and encourage you. but, she’d never pressure you into anything you don’t want to do!

— isn't shy to express her love for you !!!

— i am living for the dani “love” agenda!!!! love/babe would probably be her go to petnames 🤗

💭 — dani girlfriend material confirmed

(this links to two pictures of snakes so don’t click the links if that’d bother you) Danielle’s color pattern look like a cross between the blue Malayan Coral snake and the San Fransisco Garter snake. However instead of having black markings hers are brown.

Her venom is predominantly a neurotoxin however it also has some qualities of a hemotoxin. It is no longer as fast acting and takes a 30 minutes to an hour to kill someone.

There is an anti-venom however the brotherhood is the only one with access to it in most timelines (though after she ends up at the mansion they end up synthesizing one as well). Instead of using IRL methods for synthesizing antivenom they use Dani’s blood since she’s already built up a sort of immunity to it.

The brotherhood came up with an antivenom predominantly because during flashbacks or panic attacks Dani has a tendency to bite to kill. At that point she hadn’t bitten anyone yet but it was good to take precautionary measures

Dani is not completely immune to her own venom. If she accidentally bites herself it’ll still make her sick but it won’t kill her. She ended up accidentally self immunizing during her earlier years of having this particular mutation. She couldn’t quite control her fangs as well and ended up often accidentally biting herself.

(again picture of a snake linked) Dani’s scales closely resemble that of the Hairy Bush viper and are EXTREMELY sharp. She can and has used these as makeshift weapons to get people to let go of her in a fight.

As the scales progress further and further across her face and rest of her body the scars she has already tend to scale over. Just like with IRL snakes the scars that scale over have oddly shaped scales and are one of the colors present in her markings. The one over her eye becomes a vivid blue. Newer scars tend not to grow scales over them.

Dani’s partners no longer need to fear her venomous bite thanks to her having perfect control over her fangs.

Speaking of bites: like real life snakes she doesn’t always envenomate when she bites. It just hurts like hell because of their length. However if you’re a hit that’s been deemed ‘worthy’ of it or if she tries to bite you during a flashback or panic attack it will be.

When she bites she bites HARD and it hurts a LOT.

She can unhinge her jaw though not nearly as much as an actual snake.

The areas covered by scales are nearly completely hairless. Some places have small tufts of hair (like her eyebrows) but for the most part she’ll be completely hairless. As her transformation into being completely scaled progresses towards its final stages she will grow an eyescale. Yes she technically doesn’t need one as she does have eyelids still but hoosh they’re more snakey than the gecko version of just shed the skin over it.

Dani gets EXTREMELY itchy in the days leading up to and during her shed. Often to the point where it interferes with basic tasks. She usually asks for about a week off at this point because of how unproductive she becomes.

During her second stay at the project, after she was mutated for the second and final time, Nyx made the decision to remove her fangs to make her less dangerous to staff. If they did end up needing the venom for something they’d just draw the venom from the glands directly as needed. What Nyx didn’t know was that the fangs grew back albeit a bit slowly. She learned this the hard way when she lost one of her best scientists after she was bitten by Danielle during a standard diagnostic.

Danielle does have a minor healing factor. It’s nothing spectacular but it did help with the self immunization process. For reasons unknown to Danielle it seem to still let her scar which she doesn’t exactly mind. In her mind scars are a sign you survived.
