@ywsanghyun

literally, what’s going on? she really needs someone to explain it to her.

youngae has been sitting beside this hole on the ice for like, at least, two minutes. and other people are enjoying themselves? this feels like an awful prank. of course, she knows what ice fishing entails, but nowhere in her mind did she think it’d be this awfully boring.

she taps the fishing rod with her foot, hoping that’d make it do its magic. how did the fish not freeze down there? that makes no sense at all! youngae drops down from her seat—which is rather comfortable, she must admit—and kneels down in front of her very own personal hole. why doesn’t the ice around it crack too? open up and swallow her whole? but she’s stronger than that. such thoughts won’t scare her away.

@ywyuchen

there’s just something about competition that makes her blood boil. it’s probably the adrenaline.

“yes!” she screams rather loudly once she reaches the end of the hill before some random child. youngae has been eyeing him while they got prepared to slide and, in her head, the girl saw it as a challenge, but the kid most likely had no idea what had just happened. she throws a fist up in the air in commemoration and waits a moment to catch her breath. one thing is to win, the other is to make your way up the hill all over again.

so she pulls the sled up, eyes focused on the white snow below her to give her any form of strength. her siblings are somewhere around there as well, but youngae already got tired of beating them every year—she needs something else. 

bianca is back with event plots!! this time to hopefully write them in time! feel free to reply to this post with one of the titles and i’ll write a starter for us!! sorry for sucking at ims but... please accept my efforts!!!!!!!!!!! i love you all let’s get this ice business going.

SKATE ˡ You’re in line for the skates rentals. This is taking much longer than it normally would. Tourists, right? She’s thankful for people appreciating her town, but, in the name of the goddess, it’s not that hard to just move.

COLLISION ˡ This time it wasn’t her fault, she swears. You totally got in her way in the middle of the lake and now you’re both on the ground—or, well, the ice. Thankfully no blades got anywhere, but you two are certainly hurt.

AMATEUR ˡ She’s certainly not taking part in this ice skating competition. To win a gift voucher for JojaMart? She’d rather be found dead. She’s still watching it, though, for the sake of it. Expect some complaining.

PATIENCE ˡ That’s exactly what she lacks. What’s so fun about fishing? She sits staring at her hole in the ice and that’s mostly it. She still expects to catch the biggest fish yet. Not that she’s caught anything at all so far...

SLED ˡ You think this is a sport for kids? Protect your younger siblings because Youngae is not afraid to push them out of the way if that means getting a good spot to slide. You find her staring a crying child with judging eyes. What a baby...

CHALLENGE ˡ Want to race? Youngae is awfully competitive, but that doesn’t stop you from challenging her. Sure, she’ll take you for it. She says not to expect to win.

DRIZZLED ˡ Rumor has it they warn about brainfreezes because of Youngae who is probably a record holder of those. She promises she’s getting better at not getting those, but her patience lacks even in eating. Expect a brainfreeze.

✦———— WINTER MEME ++

it’s been cold for a while now and, as a delivery person herself, youngae knew exactly how that impacted business. it didn’t impact her clients, but it certainly impacted her way of getting anywhere. most days her parents didn’t let her go out with her bike due to the risk of her falling off. still, that didn’t seem to stop the chances of her slipping while walking places, which is exactly what the girl’s forced to do.

“don’t you agree?” she asks the one beside her. if anyone could understand her feelings, that’d be another delivery friend. the extreme heat of summer could still be very terrible—especially when you accounted for sunburns—but the cold is certainly worse. “the floor is as slippery as ice! i’ve fallen many times- i mean, i haven’t. but i nearly did!” she had, of course, fallen many, many times. that’s not of anyone’s business, however. the girl preferred to keep a more mature image of herself as someone who didn’t easily slip because of some bad weather.

“let’s go ice skating,” jihyun steps in. “it’ll be fun.” she looks over at him, surprised at his suggestion. instead of slipping and falling on the streets, they could purposely do it in a more appropriate place—not that she’d ever fall while skating. “we could do that.” youngae starts to open a smile. “it’ll be fun.”

@ywsungjae

there’s just something about it. don’t blame a person for their taste.

between going for the gorgeously decored cakes at the local bakery, youngae can’t help but salivate when she walks past the simple ones at the general store. she gets what her parents asked from her on her basket as the items of most importance. as thanks for coming and helping, the girl gets to choose something for herself.

it’s a bit heavy to carry now that everything is in it, but she’s a strong girl. she stops at the end of the aisle and stares down at her basket. her attention shifts between the list on her hand, and the items she had already gathered. everything seemed to have made it in. youngae smile to herself and looks up, sight focused on her prize.

@ywhaeil

ever since the blizzard struck (and ruined everyone’s plans for the new year’s festival), it had been hard making deliveries. while it has certainly calmed down from the past strong winds, snow still falls and the ground is covered in it. due to safety reasons and much to youngae’s misery, she had lost her cycling rights for the time being. apparently, she could slip at any point and it is far too dangerous.

she takes a ride from her house to the plaza with the horse and carriage that usually takes their products to sell. they probably won’t stay open for long today since working times are always flexible, but the girl could still make her deliveries once she’s there.

while her boots are much help, the ground is as tricky as it’s ever been. youngae tries to watch herself not to accidentally slip without a bicycle, but it’d be a lie to say she hadn’t fallen at least once throughout the day. “thank you for your purchase!” she takes the money from her last duty, stuffing it inside her bag, and then leaves. the lack of proper mobility takes away any free time she could have had and, instead, the girl sadly marches towards the center of the city so she can take the route back home—this time without a ride to make things easier.

@ywyein

it’s cold, as expected. youngae still tied her hair perfectly up, no strands falling off. she sits, shivering, on the steps right out of the front door. her hands hold onto her opposite arms in an attempt to help her current situation. the grey wool sweater seems to barely make a difference. if only her partner for the day could arrive any sooner.

youngae had left early, of course, and she could have just waited inside. it wouldn’t be her if she didn’t try to make a point. maybe yein should have thought of arriving a little earlier considering everything. this is a working business, after all.

but she’s managed to work through it and now she holds the gift in her hands, ready to be delivered to the girl in person at the feast of the  winter star. it is a small, thick rectangle shaped package wrapped in brown wrapping paper on which lea has drawn snowflake patterns. when youngae will open it she will find a framed painting of yangwon’s landscape in winter and seen from a distance. tucked behind the string used to hold the packaging in check, there is a white piece of paper on which with her poor replica of calligraphy, lea wrote:

                                  this is not much but i hope you like it! 

                                                                    happy holidays. 

                                                                                    x lea

@yweunki

she should have been a bit more attentive back then and tried not to ruin someone’s night as soon as it started. the past was in the past, of course, but the present felt just a tiny bit worse on her side of the story.

after spilling half a cup worth of grape juice on son daehyun’s white shirt (on accident), youngae politely offered her special winter coat to cover it all up. it was all out of a good heart, but now the girl can’t help but curse at her past self. the feast carried on until later into the night and, as the name suggested it, it was winter. the darker it was outside, the colder it’d get.

@ywmin

she’s a bit pissed, and she had to say it—or, well, she isn’t going to say it, but she’s pissed!

youngae is all about the festivals and has always been but with the arrival of a certain company, everything she adored slowly started crumbling down. the planting festival was something not to be commented about. at least the feast was being organized by the inn, but that didn’t stop certain people from joining them.

she taps her gift at a fast pace, walking about just as fast. she wanted to deliver it before the party started, and then not have to worry about it ever again. her expression only turns bright when someone passes by her and youngae bows forward in greeting. the town grandmas are a joy to see, but the place she’s heading to not so much.

i know i do owe more im replies than i should, but here are some plots that’d take place during the feast of the winter star. they’re meant to be easy to grab, and even if we’re plotting right now, feel free to choose one from the ones below (you can reply to this post with the plot name) and i’ll write us a starter free of charge!
