you all over me.
— role: close friend of pyeonghwa's older brother
— type of role: ex-platonic
— age range: 27-30
— details: must have lived in hanbit in 2012 and prefably a few years prior
— possible genre(s) of plots: angst

you were the close friend of pyeonghwa's older brother, back when he was alive, and you were basically part of the oh family, with how often you came over to hang out with him. but after he passed away, what was once an older sibling figure to pyeonghwa, became the only person whom pyeonghwa's smile falters in front of. she knows it's not your fault, but when she sees you, she sees him, and her heart aches again.

note: you can decide how your character reacted after pyeonghwa's brother's passing, whether they stayed in touch with the oh family, or slowly lost contact. your character could even somehow be involved in/present during the traffic accident!

high school in hanbit.
— role: high school classmate
— type of role: platonic/ex-platonic
— age: 24 (born in 1999)
— details: must have lived in hanbit and attended the local high school

notes: no fixed idea for this one! they could still be friends up till now, they could have fallen out, they might not have even been friends during their high school years! open to romantic relationships/one-sided crushes, if it makes sense as well. basically just someone who was part of pyeonghwa's teenage years! also works if your character was not born the same year as pyeonghwa, as long as they were in the same grade.

✻ once very good friends who grew up in the small town of hanbit, you and haeyi drifted apart after certain circumstances forced the separation. this unfortunate setup lasted until the day you both left hanbit to pursue your respective dreams in seoul, and even there, it had been hard for haeyi to keep in touch with you, in hopes of mending whatever it was that broke your connection. it isn't until years later that you meet again, back at square one... hanbit itself. the question is: would your adult prides allow for friendship to blossom once again?

✻ you were once her beloved; the sun to her moon, the yin to her yang. and although it was never a well-kept secret that haeyi had bigger dreams than hanbit, you chose to focus on the then-and-there; the fact that she decided to be with you was surprising, yet not unwelcome. this particular relationship lasted long enough that even the elders wondered if the both of you would truly be endgame... but on the summer of haeyi's 18th, she decided to leave; she had dreams, she said—ones that didn't exactly involve you, left unspoken. with her departure came your heartbreak, and now that she's back in town, the proverbial wound hasn't exactly healed. you want to gain closure, but would you be willing to risk it, when that smile of hers (even her daughter's?) still gets you after all these years?

❝ look into his angel eyes, one look and you're hypnotized; he'll take your heart and you must pay the price ❞

description ✧ you and bora used to be best friends. yet, you never felt like bora's heart was... truly in it. she was a social butterfly in every sense of the word, she would go from here to there, and hardly ever came back to the same flower. she was difficult to keep track of, and one day, you let her have it. bora had never been a "girl's girl" so her next moves weren't too surprising to you. the person who was once your friend now became your bully, your enemy. the two of you made as much space between you as possible, but now, here in the small town of hanbit, there is only so much space that can be there.

description ✧ the two of you know each other from a very long time ago. you were in a relationship, but one that felt more like an obligation rather than a real relationship. for bora, it was the nagging feeling in the back of her mind that she needed someone to cling to, and you had your reasons too. but, with both of your already difficult and busy schedules, a relationship was just another thing on your to-do list. and the first step to clearing out your to-do list is to get rid of things that no longer need to be there.

- genre: comedy, mystery
- inspired by a parks and rec’s “how a bill becomes a law”, courage the cowardly dog, and a true story: https://youtu.be/e---CecHN2Y?si=di6AijqDvkX6z5f7

woojae thought that at 3:15 on a warm friday afternoon, it would be an early end of another hellish, but easy week at city hall. that was until his boss ordered him to respond to a house call at muse a’s property. with no one else available for the job (aka unwilling and lazy), he strolled over to the place, only to hear muse a’s ridiculous problem. apparently strangers have been popping up from the sewer drains in front of muse a’s house and no one believes them. now it is up to woojae and muse a to solve the mystery of the random people emerging from the manhole!

.? ݁ ˖ it might've taken years, but she recognizes it when she sees it, eyes glinting with familiarity along with the memories of dread and pain. it brought her back to her early years at hanbit, eyes fresh with tears while her mother consoles her, combing her hair from the mess it had become while her father argues with her homeroom teacher in the background. she remembers a face, a stranger turned enemy, getting whisked away from the scene, advised to get back to their room since the whole thing was just a misunderstanding... but it wasn't. saemi knew that it wasn't. you stole the bracelet that her friends gave her before she left seoul– the same one that she saw you hiding before the fight broke out. you lied. she knew you did. and seeing you now, with that same bracelet wrapped around your wrist, she's about to remind you what it felt like when she pounced on you the first time.
