wednesdays were usually one of her rare days off—a chance to do whatever she pleased. though, typically most wednesdays, she’d spend them at the diner and the cinema, enjoying a weekly binge with some friends. it was probably one of her favorite things to do every week. something she could easily look forward to when work seemed too stressful. but today, with the rain pouring down, the gathering seemed like a hit or miss, having most of the group to decide to cancel.

leaving miss jieun to practically sulk in her apartment.

at least until she decided to take it upon herself to simply go alone. that wouldn't be too unusual right? she couldn't miss the film that was playing this week.. rain or not. her boredom is too overbearing.

it took a few minutes for her to muster up some casual outfit that's out of her usual aesthetic. she didn't feel the need to dress up any m— oh. that thought vacated her mind faster than she couldn't comprehend after seeing his handsome face smiling at her. it made her own face heat up since she's half dressed, hair not straightened, and the lack of proper makeup in front of a boy she's interested in.

"dylan!" the girl mumbles out a little too excited, taking in his scrubs and the bags sitting beside his door. there was an awkward pause between the two. there always seemed to be when it came to shorter interactions. or, well, sudden ones similar to this where he looked like he got caught committing a crime. honestly, it just made her more nervous the longer the beats of silence got.

"i was going to go to the cinema, do you want to come with me?" obviously the words slipped before she really thought about it. it wouldn't be the first time they've spent time together—but to the extent of a movie one on one was a concept that only turned her face more red.

"i-.. i mean. if you're not busy. i see you have- uh.. i'm sorry."

» reel talk ┊ w/ @springzy.

ding!

the elevator opens up and dylan lifts his head from where he's peering down at his phone. as per usual, there's either a lollipop or a cigarette hanging past his lips—this time, it's the stick of a lollipop, the cherry flavor melting on this tongue. he tuck his phone in his back pocket, leaning down to grasp the handles of the grocery bags he had put down while waiting for the apartment's elevator to rise to the ninth floor.

walking out into the hall, dylan fumbles clumsily with his keys as he looks for the right one. despite only living in this place for a month, he's managed to wrack up a lot of keychains with his keys that leave his key ring not only heavy, but crowded too. his eyebrows furrow, sorting through them until he has his apartment key held between his fingers. standing at his door, he maneuvers himself to slide the handles of the bags up his wrist to free his hand and unlock the door. he manages to get it swung open before the door across from him opens. pausing, he turns his head back to face julie before fully turning around after setting his bags by his apartment door.

glancing over her, he almost smirk as he reaches up to pull the candy out of his mouth. his body leans against the doorframe, arm propped up against the wood as if trying to look suave and not flustered at her sudden appearance like he feels inside.

"well, hello there," he hadn't meant the words to leave him with a flirty edge and he almost cringes but keeps his expression still. "going somewhere neighbor?"

a lazy eyebrow arch follows the words, but there's a genuine curiosity in his eyes as he looks at her as if trying to discern what she was about to do and where she was going. them running into one another is nothing new, that's not why he's flustered... he just wasn't prepared to face her. he'd come straight home after shopping once his shift at the hospital ended.

kim yerim? a beauty.

hello again darlings !! sage (s/h) here to introduce the lovely han jieun aka julie. julie was created to fulfill my true crime cravings, so i apologize in advance for any crazy themes you may or may not come across. she's quite the girl for someone her age anyways. with a high iq and the luxury of a golden spoon, she's everything you'd expect—pastel pinks, diamond jewelry, short skirts, straight hair; yet a blunt attitude underneath all the glitter that puts herself in the wrong situations. especially since she works as an administrative assistant in the town hall. so, i'm sure you'll be seeing plenty of her pretty face if you enjoy it or not.

— the tl;dr

han jieun / julie • march 13th, 1999 • second born by han junseo, hanul ai founder & bae saran • top of class oxford graduate • ex-nis agent intern and author, current administrative assistant • floor 9, unit 3 • pisces, rabbit, intj-a, true neutral(?)

tw: abuse (mental and physical), cheating, murder, death, underaged victims, and mentions of serial cases.

— the story

unfortunately given birth in a family that expected the most. she was intelligent, sure, but the good grades and awards wasn't enough to please her father. everything revolved around her older brother, han jiwoo, who was set to run the company.

presented herself as a typical rich girl, most likely for attention than anything else. from high heels, perfect makeup, attractive looks, expensive brands, and a no-can-do attitude—at least her classmates could give her the attention (and drama) she craved.

took up tennis in middle school via her mother. probably one of the only things she actually grew attached to.

but then in high school, her best friend who also practiced tennis, was killed at a competition in the locker rooms. julie saw the whole thing and who did it, but she didn't have the courage to stop it from happening. the culprit got away. in the end, she developed a strong fear against blood and a slight ptsd from witnessing that at her age.

luckily she found her calling through that event. she got shipped off to oxford then decided to study law and psychology. her goal was to work on understanding the human mind and why they do what they do (yes.. this is basically criminal minds lol).

met her best friends there, went to a lot of parties, gained honor's through oxford, was an overall well rounded student. this was the time of her life she felt most like herself.

oh yeah, did i mention she got engaged?

after returning to korea she managed to score an internship with the nis via recommendations and her high iq score. here she worked on a lot of serial or extreme cases with her team. she even anonymously wrote a book called "under oath" about some of the cases.

but then got murdered by the lover of one of the brutal killers she wrote about. it happened in an alleyway with a hammer. how fun, am i right?

— the sequel

arriving in ansong she doesn't remember much of how it started. the first thing she can really put together is: standing in front of the apartment's desk that already had her unit prepared for her.

by a month later and she's managed to capture a job at the town hall. she just felt most inclined to work for the city. an easy office job where she simply works with files and paperwork all day.

eventually she put the pieces together that she used to attend oxford. all of her friends and memories there feel nostalgic, but also confuse her too much. she honestly tries to avoid thinking about it because the entire concept makes her feel sick to her stomach.

she likes to spend her free time at the library, book stores, coffee shops, or flower venues. she likes pretty things or trying to avoid all the bad things in her head by using those items.

there's not a whole lot since she's still very new to town. all she can 100% understand is that she wants to stay in ansong for quite some time. she has no want or need to remember her life. it scares her anyways.

— the connections

anyone that loves her fashion taste and wants to learn.

maybe floor neighbors she’s not familiar with.

a best friend she talks to everyday!

someone to share work drama/complain about boss with.

strangers meeting at bad moments.

a food employee that she’s a regular for.

group of friends that sees movies every week together.

give me more negative based relationships!

or go to her connections page for more in depth ideas.

besides that: more to be added eventually.
