#kw:plotcall

here’s the tldr; on jung jaeyoung, who you may remember being publicly (and nationally, because jaeyoung’s all about going big or going home) shamed a couple months back after a drunk balcony incident ended his (his? were they rly his???) olympic swimming dreams. rumour has it that standing next to him will give you an immediate self-esteem boost, because no matter how much you disappoint your parents: at least you didn’t also disappoint a country.

looks like a fuck boi: is a fuck boi. but a very nice one. spent the last little while limping around in a cast, bemoaning the fact that he hasn’t gotten laid in four months. they were off in time to celebrate 22 years of accomplishing almost nothing. (is that the sound of a crippling inferiority complex or). he does carry it rather well tho. the rest can be found here in helpful point form.

SOME PLOTS...

BASICS

jina’s mother enrolled her in ballet lessons when she was three years old, she herself having quit ballet after an unexpected pregnancy. jina began dancing en pointe when she was around ten, and was training for thirty-five hours a week at this point, as well as going to school full time.

she would leave school early in the afternoon and dance until nine or ten at night - and it’s been this way for about 15 years now, so naturally, her whole life revolves around ballet. she’s a coryphée at the korea national ballet right now, and is expecting a promotion to soloist in the next year to two which is actually quite young for a dancer???

she was a pretty lonely child because of her intense ballet training - she couldn’t play with the other children or develop meaningful friendships, mainly because she literally had no hours left in her day to play, but also because she was so /tired/ and /in pain/ all the time??? her parents are both very cold and stoic and showed her no love and she naturally thought that if she excelled at this they would finally love her??? her poor kiddy brain

instead of that making her as cold and as stoic as them though, it kind of had the opposite effect on jina - she’s the realest~ and when i say realest~ i mean that she’s approachable and messy and friendly and kind of scatterbrained and also just genuinely the KINDEST person you’ve ever met??? she has SO much love to give and it’s so obvious from the second that you meet her. she’s hella affectionate and once she loves someone she loves them for life???? hoWEVER her parents being so distant and having no one to really talk to as a child meant that she learned how to bottle everything up and attempt to deal with things on her own, even though she has friends who she sees as siblings, she doesn’t really tell them about her feelings???

she literally cannot handle compliments wow

jina spent her teen years painfully in love with this one guy. all the boys in school were fawning over her but she didn’t see them??? she would write him love letters and send him presents (and also send herself presents to make him jealous)?? but nothing worked?? she was so preoccupied with her love for him that she didn’t have the time to date and then she found out after graduation that he was gay all along and everyone knew but her and it was heartbreaking ok

and because of that she’s still a virgin

she doesn’t stop talking honestly if someone were to record the speed at which she talks i’m sure it would win her awards or break some records or somethinG she’s also the clumsiest ballerina anyone has ever met. she can’t walk in a straight line without falling over but when she dances she’s so elegant and everyone is just like ??? what

she gets drunk and overexcited and tries to fight everyone but then sobers up and apologises lmao

obsessively bakes when she’s happy or sad or anxious so basically she’s just baking ALL the time which is good for her dorm mates, i guess?

tl;dr baek jina is a naive lil optimist who thinks that everyone on earth poops rainbows and glitter, she looks at the world through rose-tinted glasses and is basically a bundle of joy and excitement??? she’s so ott that she’s always bumping into everything and breaking shit ok she’s also basically just the sparkle heart emoji personified~

OVERVIEW

friends all the friends? she’s very outgoing and honestly, honestly wants to be friends with everyone (i’m not joking, she seriously would befriend everyone at uni if she had the time). she’s sweet. she’s that girl from mean girls that’s like ‘i wish i could bake a cake filled with rainbows and smiles and everyone would eat and be happy’ literally. she can be overprotective and motherly and trusts everyone regardless of their faults

enemies i think that some people might be annoyed by her???? she doesn’t know how to be angry (unless she’s got a signifanct amount of alcohol in her system?? which can be so annoying? like how are you so happy all the time i don’t belieVE you jina

romance jina!! is!! a hopeless!! romantic!! she believes in love at first sight, she wants the whole deal - the whole car door opening, coat taking, love letter writing, flower buying, ‘let’s go out on a romantic moonlight stroll just the 2 of us’ whole deal. she’s never had a boyfriend before and keeps telling everyone that it’s because she was so busy! she’s not a prude or anything! but really she’s not great with actual intimacy and is waiting for ~the one~ lmao she isn’t gonna be waiting much longer. i want her to have gone on awkward dates tho. so. many. awkward. dates.

dad works as the director of business development at blizzard’s seoul branch, mom is a designer for ordinary people

a meninist’s worst nightmare

opinionated but knows to keep her opinions to herself unless they’re relevant to furthering the conversation

dana scully aesthetics which means she’ll probably doubt everything you say until she sees proof of whatever it is that you’re talking about

grad student, studies compsci

generally pretty nice (or at least decent)

her intentions are always good even if she has a difficult time conveying that

would gladly tear you to shreds if you get on her bad side

however it’s pretty hard to get on her bad side bc she literally does not give a shit abt anything but schoolwork and hotteok

cannot stress how much she doesn’t care abt anything

she really doesn’t

moves on really quickly bc letting negativity linger is a waste of time 

probably running on 4 hrs of sleep and multiple cups of coffee

reads manhwas or plays video games on the rare occasion that she has free time

doesn’t have a lot of baggage

shows affection by being a sarcastic asshole

here are some thread ideas

my english is abysmal and i need a tutor so i’ll pay you in both money and baked goods

we’re neighbors and holy god it’s 3am what the fuck are you doing that’s so loud?

you think i’m some emotionless robot but one night i get drunk and now i’m grossly affectionate

i ask you for a rubber because i think it means eraser but you think it means something else entirely

i’m running on no sleep and look dazed so you ask me if i need directions because you think i’m just a lost freshman

we’re sitting next to each other on the subway and even though we’re complete strangers i’m tired and your shoulder looks comfortable sry

and here are some open plots

childhood friend: you know how she is and you’ve stayed friends with her throughout it all. help her lighten up a little??? pls???

mulder: she’s thinks you’re crazy and too dreamy (as in absentminded, not the 90′s usage of the word) but for some reason she likes hanging out with you. a close friend she won’t admit is a friend, a lot of bickering and sarcastic banter. 

make up your mind: i don’t know how to explain this one so take this instead (could definitely be an au bc she’s emotionally constipated)

noona: someone younger than her that she sees a lot of herself in so she wants to do everything in her power to protect you even if she’s annoying abt it.

also i’m gonna put this outside the cut bcus this plot is everything to me lmao. )’: girls living off campus holla can we have a cute roommate situation in a cute apartment. mb like three of them? who leaves passive aggressive notes like who THE FUCK drank my organic soy milk (spoiler alert: it’s sulli). who vacuums @ 2 am in the morning. who bangs rly loud and pisses off everyone. pls make this happen.
