@✦ patrick jainukul「ᴋɪᴛ」ᵗʳᵃⁱⁿᵉᵉ Riley hummed softly as she made her way through the market. She found her favorite sotteok-sotteok stand and got herself some, quite happily. She spotted someone who looked a little familiar from this distance so she made her way over. Realizing they were familiar because they were a trainee. "Hey! All by yourself?" She questioned with a smile.

@✦ riley yoo「ᴏʀᴇᴀ」ᵐʸˢᵗⁱᵠᵘᵉ Patrick walked around until he found a food stall, making his way over and sitting down. He asked for a bowl of noodles before taking out his phone and scrolling through it. He let out a soft yawn, exhausted from a long day of training. He figured he'd find somewhere to eat before making his way back to the dorms.

@✧ klaus von nacht ᵈᵒˣ daneyla couldn't help but feel a mix of relief and amusement as she watched klaus approach. her brother's bandmate was always so carefree, and his ability to turn any situation into an adventure never failed to astound her. she chuckled as he called out to her and waved back.

"hey, klaus!" she greeted him with a warm smile, momentarily forgetting her initial nerves. "no worries at all, I just got here myself. trains can be a pain sometimes. let's definitely grab something to eat. I'm starving!" she moved her bag to make room for him beside her, feeling grateful for the unexpected company on what had initially felt like a nerve-wracking evening. "what do you want to eat the most today though?" asked her curious.

@✧ daneyla choi「ᴡɪɴᴛᴇʀ」ᵗʳᵃⁱⁿᵉᵉ what perhaps felt like a nerve wracking moment for daneyla was nothing but a good excuse to get out and enjoy the night for klaus. after a pesky subway train ride he was finally strolling down the sidewalk with his eyes peeled for his bandmate's twin and finally perked up once picking out her familiar features amidst the crowd of people. "hey dani!" the man called out to catch her attention with a happy wave and broad smile, making his way over to where she sat so he could join beside her. "i hope you weren't waiting too long, i got caught up in the train. let's eat now though, shall we?"

@✧ klaus von nacht ᵈᵒˣ daneyla sat nervously on a makeshift stool outside the bustling pojangmacha, the savory aroma of sizzling street food enveloping her senses. the colorful neon signs and the lively chatter of people passing by contrasted with her racing heart. she glanced at her phone, her thumb hovering over the screen as she checked the time for what felt like the hundredth time. the minutes seemed to crawl by as her anticipation grew.

the fact that she had mustered the courage to text klaus, a member of the immensely popular idol group Dox, still felt surreal. and the fact that he had agreed to meet her for what she could only describe as a "date" was like something out of a dream. a flutter of excitement mixed with nervousness surged through her.

as she fidgeted with the hem of her skirt, daneyla couldn't help but let her thoughts wander. what if klaus suddenly backed away from their planned outing? what if he got swamped with idol duties and had to cancel at the last minute? the uncertainty gnawed at her, creating a whirlwind of doubt and anticipation within her. she had built up this moment in her mind, and now, she was on the edge of her seat, hoping that their meeting would go as smoothly as she had imagined.

@✧ hsu yueh han「ᴊᴏʜɴ ʜsᴜ」ᵃᶜᵗᵒʳ naiyana could see that the man had no prior knowledge of her arrival either and for that, she felt extremely apologetic for interrupting their nice dinner. even more that she also knew it was their meal after finishing the drama shoot since she had asked that friend about it earlier through the text message exchange.

the friend could only laugh at their awkward exchange and took her seat, giving the man a shrug of shoulders rather nonchalantly to which the actress shook her head in silent amusement. from the day she met that friend, she had heard rumours of her trying to bring strangers together for meals regardless of their job and often times, resulted in many successful relationships or friendships. knowing her, naiyana assumed this was her attempt to let these two foreigners have more friends other than having that mutual friend.

“ah, yohan? I’m naiyana. you can call me nai. uhm, which one do you actually prefer more? since i’d like to follow the person’s preference.” with a nod of her head of acknowledgment and a sof smile to accompany that nod, she looked around the table to see what else she could order.

with her hands moving upward to wave dismissively, she let out a small chortle and shifted in her seat to feel a little more comfortable. “it’s okay. Jihae unnie is always infamous for doing this. it certainly felt like it has been a while since she did this to me. i guess the next round of beer shall be on me.” with that said, she turned around in her seat to raise her hand to catch the ahjumma who was busy going from table to table to order three bottles of beer and soju each as well as kimchi jiggae accompanied by rice and some spicy stir-fired squid since that was naiyana’s favourite.


[ jihae's a npc so you can mod her if you want :D ]

@✦ naiyana suwannarat ᵃᶜᵗʳᵉˢˢ that day after their schedules ended ahead of time, his co-star had asked him to eat with them at the pocha around the corner. seeing as his friend was alone, yueh han agreed.

they were a few drinks in while waiting for food when they suddenly asked, "is it okay if i bring a friend? she said she's hungry." after a long day of working on set and talking to unfamiliar faces in a language that was not his own, coming to dinner with them was already pushing against whatever was left of his depleted social battery. but upon seeing the face the other made, yueh han couldn't say no.

when the anticipated guest revealed herself from behind the curtain and his co-star started to squeal, he immediately took note of how the guest's pretty features tensed up the moment their eyes met. yueh han smiled and bowed at the lady coming towards them, but he couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong.

"did you tell her i was gonna—" he had whispered—no, hissed—under his breath at his friend, only to be interrupted by more cooing noises and the sight of said friend jumping to their feet to greet the guest. he pursed his lips and got to his feet as well, forcing his brightest smile at the person who joined them at their table.

yueh han could tell the other was uncomfortable and was muttering something he couldn't comprehend when the friend suddenly laughed, introducing him to her before passing the baton to him.

he let out a pained chuckle at the way his friend was struggling to pronounce his chinese name just now. "yeah... don't ever do that again."

he then turned to her. "you can just call me yohan. it's literally just my name translated to korean. or if you prefer, i go by john as well." he took a swig from his beer and placed the glass back down.

"sorry if they didn't tell you about me being here though." he flashed an apologetic grin her way before tilting his head just slightly to glare at his friend.

@✧ hsu yueh han「ᴊᴏʜɴ ʜsᴜ」ᵃᶜᵗᵒʳ heading back home after her solo day out wasn't the endgame of the day since she was looking to call any of her friends and ask if they needed a dinner buddy or something along the line. with her face contorting in concentration and her brain working hard to think of whom would be available with their schedules always being either full or empty. all she had to do was to remember whom. Naiyana stood at the exit of the train station, half her mind wanting to enter and head home while having her dinner being delivered and the other half wanting to meet up with someone for a meal before heading home. after all, the night was still young! at least to her.

coincidentally, her phone vibrated to alert her to a text message asking about her plans for the rest of the night and she cannot be anymore happier to have someone sharing the same braincell as her. with a gleeful smile plastered on her countenance, she brought the phone up nearer to her vision and quickly typed out her response. not even a minute later, she was given the coordinations of where the place would be and made her way there promptly since it was only fifteen minutes walk away from her current location. much to her surprise, it was just a tent-covered resto and she had always wanted to eat here and try other items on the menu she hadn't the previous visit.

as she pushed the clear PVC curtains to the side, her gaze roamed over the entire space to find that friend of hers, her hand subconsciously reaching up to wave with her smile wider than before. her feet brought her to where this friend was and noticed an unfamiliar face there too. with a small bow of her head, she awkwardly brought her bag down to her lap as she took her seat, and when she met his gaze, she bent her head again in greeting. under the table, she reached out to whack the friend on the thigh and whispered softly only they could hear.

"why did you not tell me you have a guest with you?"

to which the friend laughed melodically and introduced the other as her friend and that they have met on a drama set. naiyana could only smile and bow her head umpteen times towards the male, not knowing what to do other than that.

(snickers maniacally as he witnesses the whole scene play out from across the street, carefully making his way towards the other two with a gleaming smile on his face and holding their icy cold drinks within his arms) you should've seen the look on your face! priceless~! (shakes his head before handing out boba to the others and taking a long sip of his own with a gleeful sigh) god, i needed this

*getting shaken on the shoulders from behind, her eyes widens in a mixture of shock and surprise, her hand and her body getting ready to swivel around to smack on the head when she hears the familiar voice. of course instead of his head, her hand shifts downward and thwacks him on the bicep* hey! don't scare me like that!

(essentially shoving his phone into his pocket the moment he spots a fairly familiar face, a cheeky box-like grin plasters itself across his visage as he’s sneaking up on the woman and lightly shaking her by the shoulders just to make quite the playful grand entrance with the clear notion to tease) boo!

*standing right outside this old-looking restaurant that she happen to chance upon, she just waits outside after sending the location pin, feeling a little awkward and bowing to the Korean elderlies that keep coming in and out of the shop while keeping her bright smile on*
