⟨    not my fault  !    ⟩ for @eunyeoltv

if anyone asked, she'd spin the tale of first hearing about it from an inquisitive, nosy teammate who had interrogated her about the nature of her relationship with one particular cha eunyeol. “y’know, that cute archer? he’s your age!” “fuck, jukyung, i don’t know that man.” soeun would regale them of how they practically shoved their phones in her face, demanding an explanation of why she was smiling at him as if he held the moon in his hands, and why were their fingers brushed against each other?

but if she were to tell the truth… soeun finds out about it herself. at 2am, when she’s sprawled in bed, doing what any self-respecting athlete does: ego-surfing (searching her own name up). honestly, she’s seen it all - eight years as a professional will harden a girl’s spirit. there are compilations of her being a sore loser, fanmade edits sourced from her thirst traps on instagram, hateful comments that occasionally light a fire under her for the next competition. but, for the first time in almost a decade, her name isn’t trending for some rowdy antic. nor is it about her latest trophy or a viral moment on a variety show. no, this time, it’s because of an alleged summer romance with a boy. a boy who she has exchanged only one conversation with (if you can consider "thanks for picking up my lip gloss" a conversation).

jesus. soeun’s not quite sure how to wrap her head around this - she's almost tempted to storm into his room right this second (though she's well aware that ship has sailed for anything resembling platonic, and it'd probably just fan the flames of the rumor mill even more). but alas, her grand scheme is thwarted by the simple fact that what she knows next to nothing about him. aside from his name (cha eunyeol), age (twenty-four), sport (archery) and also, of course, the little detail of them falling madly in love with each other too!

and so, she makes it her goal to find cha eunyeol at caribbean bay the next day. like with most things in life, she’s operating on pure instinct rather than a solid plan. she can’t even pinpoint why she feels the need to find him - it’s just some internet rumor that will probably die down after a day. but then again, soeun has many strengths but unfortunately, rationality has never been one of them. and so, she barges into every nook and cranny, find, determined glint in her eyes as she chants her question like a mantra, “have you seen cha eunyeol?”

eventually, she does find him at a kbbq place - innocuously grilling pork belly as though their one second interaction hasn’t been edited to various taylor swift songs. fucking you belong with me.

“hi!” she announces, flashing a radiant smile, “i’ve been searching for you all day. apparently, people think we’re cute together. like in a dating kind of way.”

she pauses to order a glass of water before claiming the empty seat beside eunyeol. arms crossed defiantly against her chest, she takes a more serious tone as she launches into an impromptu interrogation, “did your publicist pay for us to trend? a little heads up would’ve been nice, you know, i could’ve played along too. wait, but more importantly,” she leans in, locking eyes with him, a sly twinkle flickering in her gaze, “are you, like, in love with me?”

hi guys!! i'm liv and this is my cocky, shittalking tennis queen, cha soeun! ‪v v v excited to write with everyone (but also am an absolute noob at tennis. i literally know nothing about it. i had to chatgpt so many things so i apologize if anything is not the most accurate!!!) but anyways, u can find her condensed intro below - apologies if her characterization is still a little bit of a WIP because i tend to build my character as i plot & write, but anyways, please hit like if you'd like to plot!! i'm also good with dc or ims!

cha soeun, twenty four (jan 11 2000)  national team tennis player capricorn sun, capricorn moon, aries rising entj

career

turned professional at 15

rose to prominence at 16 after defeating the world ranked 50 and made it to the finals of the miami open where she ultimately lost (and threw somewhat of a fit. she broke her racquet and smashed a ball into the crowd. you can watch it on youtube. probably included in one of her many ‘cha soeun's worst behaviours’ videos) - earned praise for her resilience, but also got shit on a lot for how “unprofessional” she acted 

played tournaments regularly following that but failed to win any major titles, although she did walk away with a few runner-up medals & won some smaller competitons

was still enough to get her called up to the national team at 18 (though not without a warning to get her shit together. she behaved for like three matches)

won her first major tournament, australia open at 21

hit her career best at 23, winning 3 grand slams in a year

off the court, she has been scrutinzed a lot for her lack of sportsmanship and irreverent attitude to most things. very polarizing to the public; some of the criticism is valid, but others not so much

the kind to chat shit before a game to mess with her opponent’s head. the kind to play with a demoralizing style, forcing opponents to play more impatiently, hit harder and take more risks. will pull out of a tournament if she thinks she will lose (her most infamous excuse was having a sore throat. was spotted at a karaoke bar the next day - she was very heavily criticized for this, and even soeun admits it was shitty of her to do that) 

undeniable that she’s very talented and very hardworking, considered one of asia’s top tennis players but she just has a horrible attitude that makes it hard for some people to support her 

background

wont add much but crazy, uber competitive family. father is ceo of a fintech company, mother is a healthcare cfo (i’m thinking her dad is some cocky tech bro who you love to hate. el*n musk dupe??) 

basically raised their kids on steroids - find something you’re good at and stick with it. be the best at it. anything less than #1 is not accepted  

soeun got lucky at five and realized that she liked tennis! and she was pretty fucking good at it.

her younger sibling was not as fortunate and spent their whole lives trying to find something they were good at and ultimately failing. soeun holds them as a reminder of why she needs to always keep trying and always be the best because there's no way she'll let herself end up like her younger sibling.

anyways yeah she just kept training and playing tennis. signed away her childhood but the fame and glory and attention was always more fun anyways 

trivia

shes messy but it’s not like she actively tries to be? when you’re raised in a crazy competitive family where shit talk is the normal way of life.. it’s just how you live life

she’s very much an entertainer. invited to a few variety shows, which she excels at because she’s just loud and bright and funny (but she’s not allowed to go on anything live. she’s a tad too unpredictable for that) 

genuinely believes in herself. the cockiness isn’t an act, she is genuinely and truly believes that she is the greatest and she can do anything. she doesn’t think that she deserves all the gold just because she's cha soeun - but because she knows that she’s talented and she works her ass off. 

on that note, she is very, very, very dedicated to her sport. incredibly hard worker. will stay till dawn. will practice till her fingers are calloused and bloody!!

potential plots

first love! shes bi so i would love something where your muse has trained with her all their lives and you broke up but now you’re friends and she’s forcing herself to laugh around you and everything thinks it’s SO cool that exes can be friends but truth is it hurts!!! alot!!! 

enemies!! someone who thinks soeun should shut the fuck up or that she’s ruining the beautiful sport of tennis or the olympics in general 

besties <3 or unlikely friends!!! a soft spoken sweet person to match soeun’s fiery nastiness 

enemies to fwbs… on the contrary, two very similar hot-heads! always at each other’s throat, sexual tension, you know the likes

pr friendship. she’s lowkey a pr mess and her team wants to “clean her image up” before the olympics so they pair you two together! idk they can end up being friends or beefing whatever works

the only other person who stays as late as she does. doesn’t have to be a fellow tennis player but someone who understands the #grind. sharing late night protein shakes after practicing till 3am vibes?? 

other tennis players!!

we can brainstorm!! i’m just vomiting cause as everything with life, i have procrastinated writing this intro until the very last minute! hehe
