Silent Book club - Any gender and age
Every Friday evening, Soohyuk visits a quiet cafe for tea and what he calls "socializing", though it mostly consists of sitting by the window, reading a book, and quietly observing the world around him. One evening, he notices someone new occupying the corner table across from his usual spot. They're deeply engrossed in their book, seemingly as silent and reserved as Soohyuk himself. Over the next few weeks, the stranger becomes a regular, always bringing a book and settling into their spot across the room. Their presence becomes a quiet comfort, though neither has exchanged a single word. One evening, when the cafe is unusually crowded, the stranger
hesitates before asking if they can sit at Soohyuk's table. Without thinking, he nods, and the two silently read together, an unspoken agreement forming between them.

The customer - Any gender and age
One day, a lively and charismatic individual who doesn't quite fit his typical clientele comes to the store. Instead of simply purchasing a piece, they're brimming with questions about the process, the wood, and the inspiration behind his designs. At first, Soohyuk finds their chatter overwhelming, but as the customer shares their fascination with handmade items, he softens and begins explaining the craftsmanship in his shy, detailed way. Over time, they keep returning to the shop, claiming they're "just browsing" but always staying to chat or even offering unsolicited ideas for new furniture designs that surprisingly inspire Soohyuk.

The volunteer - Any gender and age
Soohyuk rarely accepts help in his furniture shop, preferring the solitude of his craft. But when a young volunteer, a spirited individual eager to learn woodworking shows up asking for guidance, he reluctantly agrees to let them assist with small tasks. What starts as simple cleaning and organizing gradually turns into hands-on teaching as the volunteer's enthusiasm chips away at Soohyuk's reserved demeanor. As their bond deepens, the volunteer reveals that their time in the shop is temporary, they're preparing to leave to pursue a different path soon.

Ex's and Oh's [0/1]
- male, age range 24-28
- the ex-boyfriend's best friend
- Truth be told, maybe zhenni had not always been the best girlfriend during her first and only relationship. fresh out of high school, attending university in a foreign country, all while working on manuscripts and meeting deadlines, it wasn't always easy to find time for her boyfriend. But she tried. really tried. At least that's what she remembers. the breakup had been mutual, feelings just fizzling out, no drama, no tears, all fine and dandy. or maybe not? because right now, as she stands face to face with you, her ex's best friend, she can't help but sense some animosity coming from you.

Puppy Love [0/1]
- any gender, any age
- living together with 5 pups isn't always easy, especially when one of them is a stubborn and extremely headstrong sammy. usually the most talkative among the bunch, it seems though that recently someone living in the apartment across the street has caught the walking cloud's fancy. always sitting by the window, the canine would visibly perk up when catching sight of you. zhenni on the other hand has yet to meet the mysterious person her pupper has seemingly fallen in love with.

Nosy Neighbors [0/1]
- any gender, any age
- usually, zhenni doesn't really care too much about her neighbors, but recently it's been hard to ignore the constant fights, the screaming, the colorful insults echoing from the courtyard. Today is yet another day of the miserable couple fighting over something silly. not wanting to miss the show, she rushes over to her balcony, a bag of chips in her hands. much to her surprise, someone else seems to have had the same idea as she comes face to face with her neighbor next door. Both of them swear it's not what it looks like, they would never find enjoyment in other people's drama. it's a little bit awkward and perhaps she should just head inside, but as the shouting match downstairs is going into its next round, it's just too good to miss. slightly leaning over the small gap between their balconies, she holds out the opened packet of chips. "You want some?"

Muse [0/1]
- female, any age
- the first time she sees you is by chance encounter. taking photos near han river as reference material, you happen to photobomb her, rushing right through one of her shots. before she can say anything, you're already gone. the second time, you seem in less of a hurry, settling down on the bench across from where she is sitting, enjoying the last few rays of late summer sunshine. it gives her enough time to make a few sketches in her little notebook, to memorize the way your lips curve upwards as you smile in contentment. there's just something about the way you move that is utterly captivating, that reminds her so much of the heroine of the new story she is writing. back at home she fills more blank pages with your images, trying to put all the details onto paper. but it's not enough. no matter how hard she tries, none of the drawings can bring out the vibrant colors of your smile, that spark in your eyes, the grace with which you move.
unconsciously, wherever she goes, her eyes will search the crowd for your face. it's been months now since she's last seen you. she tells herself that she needs to stop with this small obsession of hers, but then there you are, graceful as ever, standing just across the street. this time, she is determined to not let you go.

✎ description:
╰┈➤positive: you're a pax (passenger) on winter's flight. you're actually a common occurrence, so she's always bumping into you. you've been one of her most favorite pax to deal with from the mannerisms you convey and the fact that you treat the cabin crew as if they're humans and not mere slaves. it's something minjeong and her crew appreciates immensely and due to you being on her flight over the year, you both develop a friendly relationship. when you enter her flight, it results in hugs and catching up as minj tends to her cabin area. she'd always find you and strike up a conversation in asking how has it been for you etc. (this could result in a newfound friendship that explores possibly of bonding more via meet ups when both are free!)

negative: you're one of the most annoying persons she ever had the displeasure of meeting on flight! you're rude, obnoxious and quite frankly disgusting in her eyes. she never liked working a flight when you're there and worse yet— you're there far too regular for her liking. whether you're having a bad day or someone ticked you off, you always made it your goal to take it out on the poor cabin crew members. what did they ever do to you? you're too entitled and snobbish, and minjeong has had enough. she's bound by her contract to never lay a hand on a pax but you're making it too difficult when you get drunk on flight and picked a fight with her and another crew member. you were almost restrained due to you getting a little bit out of hand (this could be discussed to suit maybe your muse is mentally affected by things and lashes out. has a drinking or drug issue — whatever it may be to cause them to react this way.)
✎ additional notes: this can be tweaked to suit your muse's background ofc. pm for details if interested!
