hard feelings.
apologizing to @msujinri / backdated to fall 2019.
this wasnât how jieun had imagined her reunion with jinri would turn out.  in her head, the reunion went perfectly, with the both of them talking, coming to a mutual understanding, then moving on â simple as that, and then itâs suddenly as if nothing even happened. but dreams never really do come true, do they? because as much as she had wished for, dreamed about a simple, effortless and uncomplicated reunion with her childhood friend, here she is. with none of her plans, the words she had so carefully chosen and practiced over and over again in her head, having come to fruition.Â
instead, jieun had just about made it her personal goal to stay as far away from the geumseong student as possible, untilâ until today, a month into the semester, when theyâd been paired together in potions club, and the silence between them could no longer prevail. but, instead of being nice, friendly, in an effort to regain the friend she so desperately missed, jieun had...
okay, so sheâs ashamed, no way around it. sheâd been acting cold, dismissive of jinriâs every word, unwilling to even say anything unprompted. this wasnât how things were meant to go, but... with the people surrounding them, nothing had felt like it called for a moment of vulnerable honesty from the younger. too complicated, too personal, tooâ
point is, she has to apologize, no matter how much sheâd rather not confront this head-on. most of the club have left at this point, though jinri is still there, gathering her stuff. taking a deep breath, jieun begins approaching the older, forcing her feet into action before she can change her mind.Â
âjinri?â fuck. her voice almost sounds as if itâs breaking already â this is not going to end well. jieun clears her throat before speaking again. âdo you think we could talk?â

muse updates.
so, while iâve been on hiatus, iâve been trying to think of ways to revamp jieun, as i found myself slightly losing muse for her. i decided to go through with the revamp and have made a few changes here and there, which will be summarized under the cut! there will also be a few plot ideas (since i do not have a plots page for her and her intro will be kind of outdated with these new updates), and so this post will also function as a plot call! please LIKE this post if youâd like to plot something with the new and improved jieun, and i will come message you either here or on discord!
so, first for the things that are staying the same (aka a super quick summary):
born in busan, south korea, jan 23rd 1998
grew up with a single, muggle mother. had no idea she was a wizard until she got her acceptance letter from the korean wizarding school.
felt out of place in the muggle world, but when she came to the wizarding school, she still didnât feel like she completely fit in, as she struggled quite a bit with mastering magic.Â
her mother died just as she was graduating the korean wizarding school. that + not being able to afford going to mokseong right away had her in a bad place for a few years, but she still spent her time working to save up enough money to be able to attend on a partial scholarship.Â
has a great interest in fashion and styling, and likes doing it in the muggle way as a hobby. it stems from her wanting nice clothes when growing up, but due to her motherâs lack of money, she couldnât afford what she wanted, and instead started trying to repurpose old clothes.Â
chaser on the quidditch team, in art club and the debate club.
works as a sales associate at remarkable robes in mokseong village.
now, for the changes that have been made:
instead of majoring in fashion design with a minor in feminist studies, jieun is now a biomedical engineering major with a minor in potions. while she still keeps her interest in fashion as a hobby, sheâs now more focused on her career ambitions. potions was one of the things she struggled the least with when introduced to the wizarding world, and she worked hard on perfecting the art. she suspects she found it easier as it is similar to muggle chemistry, and sciences was something she did well at when she was still going to muggle school. her ultimate career goal is to work on combining muggle sciences and wizard potions to create new, more powerful medicines.Â
to go along with her minor in potions, sheâs also in potions club now!
while she was already on the quidditch team before the revamp, i had her headcanoned as someone who didnât care much about the sport and was mostly there to have fun, without putting too much effort into practices (aka she was probably one of the worst ones on the team and itâs a miracle she wasnât kicked to reserves). with the revamp, though, sheâs far more interested in the sport, as flying was one of the first things she found that she excelled at when introduced to the wizarding world. sheâs been playing the position of chaser since her third year at the korean wizarding school. while sheâs still not the best quidditch player, she does put significantly more effort into practicing the sport. she could use some work on her techniques though, and does tend to play it safe way too often.Â
jieunâs father is now more involved in her life, sort of... originally she grew up with only her mother, and never knew who her father was. while that is still true, one thing has been added onto this. while she doesnât know her fatherâs identity, she knows heâs a wizard, as he sent her an anonymous letter with money attached when she couldnât afford to attend mokseong straight after graduation. however, jieun never used this money as she doesnât want to take anything from the man who abandoned her mother and couldnât contact her until after her mother had died and she was left with nothing, so she keeps the money hidden instead of spending it.Â
and lastly, some plot ideas (and thank you for reading this far!):
an ex-boyfriend from the korean wizarding school. we can figure out the specifics of it, but the overall idea i have is that this was someone jieun did like, but ended up breaking it off with because she was scared of committing to having deep feelings for someone. can be on good or bad terms now.
friends from the korean wizarding school. following her motherâs death, jieun didnât talk to anyone outside of levi, dahlia and their mother, meaning she would have ghosted them until arriving at mokseong. they can either be happy to see her again, or salty that she disappeared just like that.
anyone need tutoring in potions or muggle sciences?? jieunâs your girl
or if anyone needs help with their makeup, hair style, fixing their outfit in any way... hit her up
any fellow employed ppl working in the village who wants to go get a drink with her after their closing shifts pls!! or alternatively any co-workersÂ
she still struggles a bit with magic, despite her best efforts to get better at it. charms, transfiguration, dueling etc. are all things sheâs not exactly good at. so anyone helping her with any of these things would be great, especially since she has to take some core classes as sheâs still only a sophomore. rip
also, her lack of magical skills means she oftentimes do things the muggle way, which is prob seen as the less convenient way in the eyes of her fellow witches and wizards. so if anyone wants to help her get into the habit of including spells in her everyday life, feel free to!
any connections related to extracurriculars (quidditch, art club, potions club, debate club)
iâm also more than willing to brainstorm anything!
#ooc.#heyyy i'm back#i'm going to bed so i'm not replying to plotting messages/sending out new ones tonight#BUT! tomorrow for sure <3

the thing about second chances.
...is that they donât always work out. isnât that right, @msukirby?
itâs been almost a month now since jieun had reconnected with kirby, the geumseong junior finally allowing her in her life again. 25 days, to be exact â not that sheâs counting. okay, maybe she is, just a little bit, but can she really be blamed? after the way she had treated kirby last semester, she had started to lose all hopes of ever being back in the otherâs friendly graces again. but, following jieun watching the otherâs band performance during the halloween party, the two had started talking again, which â and jieun is slightly excited about this, she wonât lie â had them resuming their hangouts.
âwait, how do you do this again?âÂ
jieun looks up at the older, a look of helplessness present on her face. theyâre in the schoolâs auditorium, band practice just having finished. jieunâs got the juniorâs bass on her lap, though her fingers are struggling to remember exactly where they should go. how had kirby gotten so good at this? muscle memory, perhaps. jieun doesnât know, but what she does know, is that holding down these strings, surprisingly, hurts a lot.
she lets out a laugh. âi donât think iâm meant for this. my fingers are way too delicate.â

let it be.
msuleviâ:
thereâs something so damn funny about jieun calling him âbabeâ that he almost snorts out loud, but he manages to cover it up with a half-hearted cough. itâs even more hilarious that she has to settle into her role so quickly, taking a hold of his arm and kissing his cheek like that. itâs so cringy because being this affectionate towards each other has never been their thing â theyâre more the type to divulge their deepest secrets and then threaten to beat each other up if they ever told anyone else, not the type to hold hands and cuddle like him and callie. heâd kill a man for jieun, sure, but he wouldnât know what to do if she ever came to him crying (âŚagain, because she had once, and he never wanted to experience that again).
âyou heard the lady. i think itâs about time for you to go, my man.â
itâs obvious this guy is thinking about whether to stay or leave, like he thinks he could take levi on and then sweep jieun off her feet because heâd âkickedâ her âboyfriendâsâ ass or something. leviâs not sure what anime this dude thinks heâs in, but he makes sure to draw himself to full height. âcome on, take a hit, i dare you.â but it seems as though the muggle changes his mind after that, mumbling something under is breath that levi canât quite catch before heâs leaving, pushing his way through the crowd and towards the bar. probably to bother someone else. what a loser.
turning back towards jieun, he grins at her. âdo i get a reward for saving my girlfriend?â heâs puckered up his lips, but itâs obvious heâs not expecting her to actually give him anything when he drops the act a moment later. âi canât believe you almost took out your wand, dumbass, what the hell was that?â heâs lowered his voice to an inconspicuous whisper, not wanting anyone to overhear that, as he settles into the now vacant the seat opposite her. âyour boyfriend got you a drink, by the way,â he gestures towards the bottle, clearly still making fun of the way sheâd clung onto him. âyouâre welcome.â
the guy is finally leaving, and jieun canât help but let out a sigh of relief. she jerks away from leviâs side the moment the muggle is out of sight, almost as if she had been burned by his close proximity. she hadnât, of course â while theyâre not the most affectionate of best friends, itâs not like theyâve never been affectionate before. but, then again, contract #2, §1 says to not talk about that, ever. and that goes for both of the times.
âyour reward,â she starts, fixing the older with a glare, a proper one this time that sheâd been waiting to give him since the near slap of her ass, âis that you get to never call me girlfriend again.â her face twitches at the mere thought of the two of them ever dating. donât get her wrong â she loves levi, she really does, but sheâd have to be on some pretty powerful brain-altering substances to ever consider dating him. no, their relationship is perfect as it is â platonic soulmates, a bond sheâd argue is just as strong, if not even stronger, than any romantic connection she might end up having at some point.
âand... thank you, i guess.â her apology sounds insincere, and perhaps it is, just a little. because while sheâs grateful, jieun hates admitting she needs someoneâs help, even if the person helping her is levi. needing people makes her feel weak.Â
levi is right, though. she wasnât handling this situation well, considering she didnât even realize she had her hand on her wand until he had swooped in to deescalate what was going down. âi donât know,â she admits, âi wasnât really thinking. i just wanted him to leave me alone.âÂ
itâs with a smile that she settles into her seat again, gaze landing on the bottle in front of her as the comment about levi being her boyfriend is promptly ignored. âthank you,â she repeats, her tone more sincere this time. âfor the drink. and...â she pauses, her instincts telling her to stop talking, not say too much to avoid divulging any kind of vulnerability, but... this is levi, whoâs been with her through her worst times, and who she knows would never judge her, not over anything. heâs her person.Â
âfor saving me.â thereâs a smile, her features softening up as she meets his eyes. âmy very own knight in shining armor, huh?â
   â the end.

letâs meet lincoln.
msuxhaeunâ:
âthatâs what iâm saying! itâs absolutely nuts for him to be hereâŚ.but i have to check.â it didnât feel right not to do anything with this information. a ghost that happened to be a former us president meant that a wizard was a former us president. that was mind boggling. haeun had thought that most witches and wizards who chose to live amongst muggles never went for something in the spotlight for the sake of not breaching the statute of secrecy. a president thoughâŚ.how ambitious.
haeun definitely had many questions for him.
âmuggles canât become ghosts,â haeun reminds the elder. as much as muggles always harp on about ghosts, they simply couldnât leave an imprint in the world without magic. nor could they properly see a ghost. all of their lore and ideas were fabricated without a hint of accuracy. itâs what made their movies so interesting. her eyes are wide as she leans in, completely mystified with this potential discovery. âthat means the president is a wizard. thatâs amazing, donât you think?â
jieun had an air of maturity about her. she was older after all. haeun doesnât expect someone like her to be interested in such a silly rumour and an even sillier proposition. it was unfounded. nothing more than campus talk, really. so when jieun indulge haeunâs seemingly childish whims, sheâs ecstatic. she figured there would be a little more convincing. âwait, really?â
she grabs jieunâs hand, excited to get started. âcâmon letâs go! i think we can catch him roaming the campus grounds. someone mentioned the lake once.â
âoh. i knew that.â did she, though? between growing up in the muggle world, and not having too much of an easy time accumulating into the wizarding world, jieun had to admit â there are still, even after all these years, things she doesnât know. or forgets. not that it helped practically living as a muggle in the years before attending mokseong. as much as she loves the wizarding world (because she really does), jieun sometimes thinks the muggle world is easier. less complicated, less chances for her to feel inadequate.Â
but â never mind that, haeun seems to have moved on from the comment, probably didnât even think twice about it, and so should she. âhmm. a wizard as the muggle president?â she cocks an eyebrow. not that she knew much, if anything, about old us presidents, but that does seem like sort of an odd thing. so, like she said, she has to find out if thereâs actually any truth to this.Â
âyes, really!â she starts, about to make another comment about how she would never lie to haeun, but the younger grabs her hand, rendering jieun silent as her body is put back into motion. but, yeah, letâs do this.Â
âthe lake?â she questions as sheâs dragged along by the younger. âdid he drown here?â the more information she heard about this, the less likely it seemed like it would be an american president. âseems weird, but sure, letâs go have a look.âÂ

â what are co-captains for?
jamiemsuâ:
    the rush of a first kiss with someone was always exhilarating. it was new , it was exciting , it made her heart beat a hundred miles per hour and it wouldnât have been a lie to say that jamie was addicted to this feeling. but the only catch was the nervousness that came along with it , rather the uncertainty. in her defence though , all the signs were there â- the way the younger stuck by her the whole night , the little confessions that , in the big picture , didnât mean much but still made her heart flutter &. and when the distance between the two almost disappeared.Â
    so , how could she have not? jieun was without a doubt beautiful woman , she was smart and talented and genuinely someone the grad student found herself attracted to â- so how could she have not? â- IF she had not , jamie knew itâd be something she would regret , her mind an endless record of â you shouldâve just kissed her ! â and jamie didnât know how to regret , she just knew how to fully live each moment.
    it was definitely a good sign the other other hadnât pushed her away , no , judging by the growth of the intensity , it almost felt like she was waiting for it to happen and jamie really couldnât stop how her lips slightly curved upwards in a smile. the noise of the common room had been long forgotten , perhaps replaced by the sound of her heartbeat , or was it the youngerâs? either way , it felt like the place could up in flames around them and yet all jamie would want to continue doing is getting lost in the kiss.Â
    one thing lead to another and now her fingers were entwined in her hair while jieun was positioned on top of her which lead jamie to comfortably intensify the kiss as her own hands snaked around the chaserâs waist to pull her closer , if that were even possible. long gone was the the delicate way it started because once their lips reconnected , the amorous feeling grew along with the heated passion of the kiss ââ until jamie realised she didnât want to share this view with anyone and the common room was possibly not the place they couldâve let this progress as desired.Â
    pausing her actions for a moment , jamie parted their lips to let them both catch their breath as she continued to stick close , her forehead leaned against the otherâs while she she spoke in a hushed whisper , â that was⌠this is⌠wow⌠â it was hard to find the right words , especially when it was so easy to get distracted and crash their lips together once again , focus jamie !  â would it be okay if we went somewhere quieter? â- somewhere itâs just us⌠â her eyes fluttered open as one hand found itâs place to rest on the crook of her neck while her thumb gently caressed her cheek.Â
jieun hums into the keeperâs lips, as sheâs pulled even closer, though she had already thought that wasnât possible at this point. their kiss is no longer soft, tentative, searching â now, itâs heating up, the passion between them increasing. honestly, itâs almost a touch overwhelming. jieun canât remember the last time she had been this close to anyone, much less a girl. or, well, she does remember, actually, but sheâd rather not think about that â not now, not while sheâs with jamie.Â
still, thereâs the issue of the two of them being on display for the entire hwaseong common room to see, if they so desire. jieun has no idea if anyoneâs even looking at them â they are, thankfully, situated in the couch furthest out of sight, but that doesnât mean theyâre invisible to those close to them. so, sheâs almost relieved, in a way, when jamie breaks the kiss, pulling back slightly. part of her longs to get the contact back, and she has to stop herself from leaning back in to reconnect their lips.Â
âyeah,â she breathes out, giggling as she opens her eyes to look at jamie. the olderâs eyes are still closed, and jieun has to admit that she looks beautiful like this. her attention is so focused on taking in the otherâs features, that she nearly misses her question, her brain registering it a moment later than it would usually, andâ
oh. jieun feels almost as if her heart stops. the realization that sheâs here, kissing jamie, feels as if it hits her suddenly, though it shouldnât feel like that â not really. sheâs well aware of exactly what sheâs been doing up until now, as the alcohol hadnât affected her that much. sure, she might be a tiny bit tipsy, but her headâs still clear. she supposes part of her had just thought this could be for fun, that it wouldnât mean anything, nothing would happen from it. but now, with jamieâs request to go somewhere with more privacy, it becomes all too clear to jieun what sheâs been doing here.Â
but, the weird part is, she doesnât feel opposed to the idea. no, in fact, she finds that she wants to go with jamie. despite how new the situation might be, how scary it is to think about what it might mean, she finds the offer... well, hard to refuse. her body is craving the olderâs, her mind already running through possible scenarios of what might happen when theyâÂ
okay. yeah, you know what, fuck it. she might not have done this before, she might be terrified as fuck, but for once, sheâll choose to ignore whatever worries she has, instead following what her heart wants.Â
âyes.â she nods, decisively â sheâs determined to go through with this now. âletâs...â god, she canât believe sheâs about to suggest this, âgo to your room? i, uh, have a shared dorm, so...â her words trail off, as her eyes finally meet jamieâs, her teeth digging into her bottom lip as the nervousness sheâs feeling is clear across her features.

âhmm.â jieun hums, considering the question as she puts down a green five on top of dahliaâs red. god, she really hopes the color wonât switch right back again â she really does not have any red cards. ânot much. quidditch keeps me busy.â especially with leviâs new training regimen, following their recent loss against toseong. he really had not taken that very well.Â
âyeah, iâve seen levi.â less than usual, though, but they still manage to make time for each other daily. she looks up from her cards as she takes a sip of wine. âheâs been busy lately. you know, with quidditch and all.â she leaves out anything she knows about her best friendâs personal relationships thatâs been keeping him busy, too â if he wanted his sister to know, sheâs sure he would have told her himself. besides, she would never break their best friend contract.Â
âanyway, whatâs up with you? any new, and exciting drama? any gossip to share? iâm all ears.â
â the partyâs just begun
starter for @jieunmsuâ
it was nights like this that made dahlia believe life wasnât all that bad. just her, a glass of red wine, and jieun to accompany her throughout the night. what more could a girl ask for? at least, this was all dahlia ever wanted, a girlâs night with a bottle of wine, a selection of snacks, and uno.Â
and by the looks of her deck, it seemed like it really was her night. of course, jieunâs deck could be even better, but lia wasnât the type to be pessimisticâ let alone the type to go down without a fight. âanything new? it feels as though we havenât been able to really sit down and talk in awhile.â red skip. red reverse. it was hard for lia to contain her poker face, as the number of cards in her hands was rapidly decreasing. she laid down a red card with the number five on it. âseen levi lately? i feel like heâs been hiding from me, whichâŚrude but whatever.â

` when we were close ;
msujunseongâ:
honestly, when she stops and actually responds to him, it catches junseong so off guard that he isnât even sure what heâs supposed to say next. especially because her reply is so⌠ordinary. like nothing had gone wrong. like she hadnât vanished off the face of the earth for a few years. like she hadnât been ignoring his attempts to reach out the past few weeks. somehow heâd expected something different â whether it was anger, annoyance, apologies, or even apathy⌠but he hadnât expected her to act like absolutely nothing had happened.
ânuna,â he repeats, dumbfounded, his expression a mixture of hurt and confusion. he has so many questions for her, itâs hard to sort through them and figure out exactly which one he wants to ask her first. where were you? is probably the most pressing question heâd like to ask. but he also wants to know why sheâd been ignoring him, why she hadnât said anything, what sheâs been doing â there are so many questions junseong has for his ex-girlfriend who heâd loved dearly that he can barely get ahold of himself.
ânuna, iâ i missed you.â this is not what junseong had meant to say but somehow itâs what comes out. his face crumples slightly, wide puppy-like smile and sparkling eyes nowhere to be seen. itâs almost unsettling to see this kind of despondence on junseongâs face, but itâs there. âwhere have you been?â
yeah, okay, thereâs no denying it â this is awkward. maybe, just maybe, she should have responded differently, with something akin to an apology, instead of... whatever it was that was. âwhatâs upâ? is she serious? surely thereâs something, anything, better than that she could have said instead.
the expression on junseongâs face, one she recognizes as hurt (god, she hates how she knows what that looks like on him), confirms jieunâs suspicions that, yeah, her reaction had definitely not been the best. then again, neither was her way of dealing with the situation in general, not with the way sheâd disappeared from his life so suddenly (granted, sheâd done that to everyone, but still), then ignored every attempt heâd made at getting in touch with her. even after being reunited at mokseong, her act had kept up, and now, her avoidance had been more obvious.
junseong doesnât deserve being treated like this, he really doesnât â after all, itâs not like heâs ever wronged her in any way. in a way, sheâs glad to have finally responded to him, to not have to run away from him anymore every time she sees him, butâ their actual, proper reunion is turning out to be a lot more heartbreaking than she ever imagined. his words, his confession to missing her, makes jieun feel like her heart is being ripped out, almost as if the guilt hits her all at once.Â
âjunseong...â she starts, still not quite sure what to say, but sheâll try. âiâm sorry, iâ i can explain.â can she, though? is she willing to share the absolute hell she feels as if sheâs been through over the past few years with him? well, she at least owes it to him to try. âjustââ a quick glance around at the people passing by them â too crowded, ânot here.âÂ

hairstyle, please.
msumiyoungâ:
thank destiny jieun exists! itâs all miyoung can think in this very moment, how very lost sheâd be without her roommate, how sheâd most likely hit up the entirety of mokseong village to find a hair stylist to get her hair fixed. there are not many people miyoung would entrust her precious, full and never once dyed hair to, but jieun has proved herself to be trustworthy and capable ever since they attended wizarding school together. and while jieunâs skills were initially the only thing miyoung was interested in keeping the girl around for, sheâs grown quite fond of her as a person in general.
âwhatever god is up there conspired against me and let the wildest wind pass by the moment i decided to step a foot outside. can you believe it? the audicity!â hands flail around along with her flair for dramatics and the exaggerated sigh passing cherry red lips. sheâs obediently following along inside their dorm and she sits down on the stool in front of the shared vanity. Â
a single look into the mirror is enough for her features to twist into something akin to wanting to cry. she looks horrendeous.  âi have twenty minutes until cheer practice starts.â she informs her roommate after glancing at the newest chanel wristwatch donning her wrist.  âimagine me showing up there like this ⌠iâd be the laughing stock of the school! of the nation! of the entire world!âÂ
her shoulders slump and one leg crosses over the other, hands coming to rest atop her lap.  âif you could, please make me two tight space buns. i need to prevent my hair from getting into yet another wind incident.â Â
had this been anyone else, jieun would be rolling her eyes at the spectacle of it all. because, honestly, while she does have an interest (and talent for) hair styling â had even been considering doing it professionally, and would have had it not been for the whole âbeing a witchâ thing â does she think having a bad hair day is that much of a big deal? no, not really, but this is miyoung sheâs dealing with here, and she knows what miyoung is like. had she found the younger slightly annoying at first? perhaps, but sheâs come to like her, appreciate her, during their year of rooming together.Â
âhmm, yeah, the wind must really have it out for you,â she hums dryly, as she begins brushing the youngerâs long locks, attempting to untangle them. which turns out to be slightly harder than expected. yikes. her words had been in jest, but maybe miyoung had a point, and the wind really was out to get her, because some of these tangles are proving to be near impossible to get out. just how strong had that wind been?Â
after a minute or so, though, she does manage to get the worst of the tangles out, while hopefully still being gentle enough for it not to hurt her roommate. âjesus, this is really bad. is the wind really that strong today?â her gaze moves to take a quick glance out the window, though she canât really tell whether the wind is raging or not â she wonders if itâll be okay in the time for quidditch practice later that day.Â
âokay, i think thatâs all of it,â she says a minute later, brush now moving through miyoungâs hair without resistance. satisfied with the results, she puts the brush away, instead grabbing two of the many hair ties that are usually strewn across their shared dorm â most of which are jieunâs, probably.Â
dividing the youngerâs hair into two sections, she grabs the left one and starts gathering the strands of hair with her hands. âhow high up do you want the buns?âÂ

speak now.
msunickyâ:
so far, so good â thatâs how nick would describe how his nightâs going. his outfit had gotten a few compliments, thatâd been nice. the musicâs decent, heâd been dancing for a bit. the drinks are good too. so yeah, if he ignores the fact heâd caught himself searching for his ex-girlfriend at least five times by now⌠so far, so good! itâs difficult, attending these kind of things alone after having shared them with someone else for a decadeâespecially when all your friends are her friends, too. but heâs trying, and itâs going fine. so nick would call that a success.
but his mask is about to suffocate him, so nick takes it off for a breather. perfect timing, too, because thereâs the basket with the âtrick or treatâ potions. should he? yeah, why not, itâs not like thereâll be anything too bad in there, right? shrugging to himself, nick picks a vial at random and chugs it down in one go â just in time for someone to tape his shoulder.
Itâs jieun. jieun?!
âyeah, iâm nicholas choi.â huh, that came out a lot quicker than heâd wanted it to. first time he hasnât stuttered like an absolute moron around her, too. he can still remember the first time heâd ever seen her, in that restaurant she works at. worked at? he doesnât know. he should know, this is his sister. but heâs lacked the balls to tell her, hasnât had the guts now for so damn long. heâd rambled back then, told her that her restaurantâs food sucked and had made a hasty escape. of course he shouldâve known that would come back to bite him in the ass eventually.
the inside of his mouth tastes kind of funny. âsheâs not lying. cora rarely lies, if ever, but sheâs definitely at me because i slept with someone she hates during the summer, so sheâs taking out her anger.â uh, what the fuck? why canât he stop talking? âi wish she hadnât, but i canât say i blame her, because itâs been three years at this point. four, maybe? iâve been too chicken shit to tell you, thatâs what sheâd say.â stop talking. stop talking.
what the fuck was in that potion? some kind of truth serum? shit. jieun knows now. she knows. âwell, i think iâm going to be sick. not like, literallyâ nope, i do think iâm about to throw up. i have to go. goodbye.â and heâs turned on his heels, taking quick strides to make his exit as quick as possible.
what. the. actual. fuck. when jieun had approached the grad student, she had expected a confirmation that yes, what this cora had told her was indeed a lie, nothing for her to worry about. and, perhaps, a word of thanks for being kind enough to let him know there are rumors being spread about him in the first place.Â
but this? this nicholas choi has basically given her a confirmation that the whole thing was true. while he didnât admit to it in words, the implication is still there â because cora rarely lies. butâ no. this cannot, should not be real â sheâs already been over this in her head, multiple times over the past few days. there is simply just no way sheâd have a brother, or any sibling at all, for that matter, that her mother wouldnât have told her about. right? it just doesnât make sense. and it especially doesnât make sense for it to be this guy, whoâs fromâ okay, she doesnât actually know, but she does know the name nicholas isnât korean, and so she thinks itâs safe to assume heâs not from around here.Â
the only logical conclusion here is... this has to be some kind of prank. right? sheâs already toyed with that idea a few times after being approached by cora, and by now sheâs convinced that has to be the case. sheâs about to confront nicholas with this, let him know sheâs onto him, them, whoever is playing this prank on her, but before she has the chance to utter a single word, heâs already bolting from the scene. what the fuck? coward.Â
jieun isnât about to let him off so easy, though. because by now sheâs getting annoyed, and frankly a touch curious, as to why this couple is involving her in their weird fight. ugh. straight people and their nonsense. sheâs quick to dash after him, and â wow, she never thought sheâd say this â thank god for the crowd making it harder for nicholas to escape. with his long frame, she doesnât doubt heâd normally outrun her fairly easily.Â
âWAIT!â she calls out, and itâs not long before sheâs close enough to place a hand on his shoulder, mustering all her strength to drag him around to face her again. âwhere the fuck do you think youâre going?â her voice is raised, both to be heard over the bustling noises of the party, and due to her own annoyance at the whole situation.Â
âiâd like an explanation as to why you and your girlfriend are trying to pull this insanely sick prank on me. donât have enough spice in your relationship, is that it? decided you had to go bother some poor, unsuspecting undergrad for some fun? is that it?âÂ

speak now.
running into @msunicky at the mokseong halloween party.
jieunâs plan for the halloween party had been to, well, relax. get drunk, forget about all of lifeâs worries and responsibilities. but, that plan is all but forgotten when she spots him. nicholas choi, she thinks his name is. she doesnât know him as much as she knows of him, and that only because theyâre on rival quidditch teams. sheâd say the closest theyâve ever come to actually interacting was that one time he had hit her with a particularly nasty bludger sometime last year.Â
normally, she wouldnât have looked twice upon spotting him at a party. she doesnât know him, doesnât care about him in the slightest, and she would have assumed he shares mutual feelings. that was, until a rather... eye-opening? mind-blowing? conversation sheâd had a few days ago. jieun had been at work, when she had been approached by someone: cora han (who, again, she neither knows nor cares for).Â
cora had told her... things. honestly, jieun doesnât quite know how else to put it. nor does she believe in, quite honestly, anything that the grad student had told her. because why, and how on earth would she somehow have a half-brother? it just... makes no sense. itâs always been her and her mother. just the two of them, against the world. and while she might be alone now, that doesnât mean she needs or wants a new family. she has the kangs â theyâre more than enough for her.Â
but... now that sheâs here, and her supposedly half-brother is right there, and alone, would asking really hurt? jieun suspects the entire thing is a prank, some crazy ex-girlfriend who decided to spread lies about the guy who broke up with her, just to get back at him. some real sick and twisted shit.Â
but, if thatâs the case, he would probably appreciate knowing about it. and so, she makes the decision of actually approaching him, ready to find out the actual truth (because, again, her having a half-brother? impossible).Â
âhey, youâre nicholas, right? nicholas choi?â she asks to make sure sheâs even got the right person, and soon gets a confirming nod in response. âokay, good. hi. you donât know me, but... this girl cora, she said she was your girlfriend? â sorry, ex-girlfriend â talked to me the other day, and i just thought iâd let you know sheâs spreading lies about you. i donât know if iâm the only one sheâs been lying to. god, that would suck, imagine having half the school thinking theyâre related to you or something? anyway, i just thought you should know.âÂ

msukevinâ:
At her response, his smile remained stuck in place on his face. He was a bit caught off guard, heâll admit it. But she was pretty straight to the point and Kevin could dig that.Â
Giving himself a moment to catch himself up to the situation, the boy simply nodded his head in false thought. This wasnât the first time in his life heâd been rejected. In fact, this wasnât even the first time in that very same day that heâd been rejected. Furthermore, he was a pretty firm believer in the saying: fall down seven times, stand up eight. He often used it as motivation in volleyball and talking to girls wasnât too different, right?
âYo, insult me, thatâs fine, but not Maria.â He replied, petting the broom handle in an act of comfort. âSheâs still a baby and quite sensitive. But sheâs super fast! Iâm hoping to play in at least one quidditch match this season so I can show her off sometime!â
why is this guy still sticking around, even after she told him a clear, and precise no? some guys really donât know when to quit, which she supposes she should be used to by now. still doesnât make it any less annoying. though this guy seems... different? and thatâs definitely not in a good way. sure, he doesnât seem as sleazy as most men, but something about him just throws her off.Â
hearing that heâd named his broom, is the last straw. something must be seriously wrong with this guy, sheâs sure of it. âmaria?â she repeats, tone clearly heavily judgmental. âyou named your broom? and call her... it... baby?â her eyebrows are raised in disbelief, mixed with an expression of disgust on her face.Â
âare you even on the team?â sheâs sure she hasnât seen him before, which surely she would have, if he was on a rival team. âi doubt anyoneâs gonna let you play any match, ever, if all you use your broom for is hitting on girls. youâre disgusting.âÂ

â what are co-captains for?
jamiemsuâ:
    even though she had never claimed to be the best drinker , jamie had built up some tolerance over the years with the amount of parties hwaseong had and now the part-time job of a bartender , not that she ever relied on them⌠in fact she hardly ever drank anymore. SO even with those three⌠maybe four? glasses of firewhiskey , she felt the buzz of it but still was in her senses for the most part.Â
    or so she thought because the keeper couldâve sworn how the youngerâs eyes were wavering from her gaze to shift just a touch lower⌠and stayed there a little longer for it to be classified as a coincidence. but that was just her mind , right? her mind making her think that THAT was what was happening because thatâs what she wanted to happen , perhaps.Â
    the energy around them felt different tonight and no one was pulling away from it , instead it felt like as the moment progressed , the tension grew. it truly felt like the pair was in their own bubble at that moment and just as jamie thought it wouldâve been better to move away before she did something couldnât be taken back , the chaser moved closeâŚ. close enough to have that whisper send a shiver down her spine and having her own breath hitch in her throat as the otherâs felt hot on her skin.Â
    once their gaze met again , it was probably her last chance to move further away because maybe she was reading these signals wrong and jamie wouldnât usually say that but the both had had a few drinks and the last thing the grad student wanted to do was something that would affect their friendship. ââ so what did she do next? of course , the ONLY viable option was to kiss her. it was delicate and jamie took her time with it , starting off by gently placing a hand on her cheek and leaning in to whisper , â itâll be our secret. â before their lips connected ever so softly.Â
had she been expecting this when she had so daringly leaned in close, whispering silly promises to the hwaseong co-captain? maybe. hoping for it, at least. a tiny, microscopic part of her wanted to scream that this might ruin their friendship, might even make tensions awkward on the team. but either sheâs so sure that wonât happen, or sheâs just too far in the moment to care, because all she really wants in this very moment, is for jamie to close the gap between them, and kiss her.Â
and she does. jieun knows it will happen the moment the older delicately touches the side of her face, her breath hitching in anticipation as she feels the ghost of jamieâs whisper across her lips. then, soft lips are pressed against hers, and if jieun wasnât already lost in the moment, this would definitely do it.Â
the kiss starts out soft, at first, but with the way the younger had been practically longing for it ever since the co-captain sat down next to her, itâs not long until she gets lost in the kiss. itâs not aggressive, she wouldnât go as far as calling it that, but itâs passionate, if not even a bit messy. sheâll blame the alcohol for that one.Â
as their lips move together, jieunâs hand finds its way to the back of jamieâs neck, her fingers tangling in her hair as she pulls her closer, wanting to deepen the kiss as much as possible. the angle could be better though, she thinks, and in a moment of perhaps more bravery she would usually show around pretty girls (seriously, is there something in the alcohol tonight?), she climbs into the olderâs lap. she positions herself on the keeperâs thighs, their repositioning breaking their kiss briefly, but jieun is quick to once again press their lips together.Â

if thereâs anything jieun hates, itâs being bothered by strangers. because yes, she does consider it a nuisance when some random person sheâs never seen before approaches her. itâs like this: sheâs doing her own things, minding her own business, while they should ideally be minding theirs, and leave her the fuck alone, butâ life doesnât always work out like that.Â
and it doesnât seem like the gods (if any even exist) have pity on her today, either. because while sheâs on her way back from archery practice, minding her own business, as usual, sheâs approached byâ oh, god, that that has to be the most, well, fuckboy looking guy sheâs ever seen, for the lack of a better word. and heâs riding towards her on a broom? unbelievable.Â
things get immediately worse when he opens his mouth. âhey beautifulâ? âahaâ? âi can take you on my brand new firebolt supremeâ? who the fuck does this guy think he is?Â
âno,â she replies sternly, making sure to give the guy a look of utter disgust. âi donât know you, i have things to do, and i wouldnât get on your stupid broom with you even if you paid me. no way in hell.âÂ
boba run (aha)
â CLOSED STARTER â @jieunmsuâ
After obtaining a new Firebolt Supreme broom, Kevin figured there was no better way to flex it than to take it on a quick trip down to the village. He thought to himself, why not stop by Madame Menagerieâs for some bubble tea (and if he managed to pick up a pretty lady on the way there, it wouldnât hurt either). And so, thatâs just what he did.Â
Boarding his broom, the boy decided to do a few laps around the castle grounds to do a bit of sightseeing. There was so much of the campus one could see just a few meters into the air. And not only were the scenic views pretty sweet, but some of the people looked just as nice.Â
With a confident grin, Kevin headed back towards ground level to approach a new face. Just as he would any other day, the boy decided to take a chance and shoot his shot. Sure, they said you couldnât ever get shot down if you donât tryâ and when considering the amount of rejections heâd faced in a lifetime, one would think that he would have stopped trying by now. But with new people meant new opportunities.Â
âHey, beautiful. Why donât we go to Madame Menagerieâs for some boba? Aha. I can take you on my brand new Firebolt Supreme.â
