[3ugene]

helllloooo it's mika here super excited to bring you ki yujin eugene!! i havent managed to scraggle up a bio or plots page just yet (thx to my timeliness i see) but i have a mini stats page up here and some waaaaaay too long info under the cut abt this 28 year old prim painter turned runaway tattoo artist living in apt #2b ^_^ v v excited to get to know everyone and their muses so please like this and i'll hit up your dms!!

𝙗𝙖𝙘𝙠𝙜𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙: her childhood memories are clouded entirely by nannies, a subsisting feeling of boredom and the cold marble tiles of her house. having two famous artists as parents (mom a sculptor and dad an ex-90s-idol turned ceo of an idol company) meant they were never really in the house nor did they spare her a glance until ...

it became noticeable to them that eugene shared their proclivity for the arts. suddenly, her scribbles were forced to have structure and introspection behind them (which sucked to say the least when her doodles were meant to be for fun)

she was subsequently shoved into every arts class possible

entered into a bunch of national and international art competitions from the age of 5-18 (came first-third every time 👍👍) but always felt restricted since every artwork of hers that the public saw and were submitted to competitions (think light watercolours, flowers, nature) were carefully picked by her parents and she never felt that it was really a representation of her

got super burned out at 18 from all these competitions so she applied to snu undergrad for fine arts and got in!! (🎉🎉🎉)

incredibly formative years for her and her work -- she met a bunch of people who thought like her and felt that she could be herself for the first time, experimenting with different styles, mediums, etc

inspired her art a LOT n she grew to develop her own style that she still carries forward to this day (main style is a ukiyo-e inspired watercolour paintings mixed with gothic/horror ideas ie imagine a softer takato yamamoto)

after snu she told her parents she was doing a masters in fine art at yonsei when in reality she was just jetting off between jpn and kr and interning at multiple tattoo studios LOL

after "finishing" the year, she held a bunch of exhibitions and galleries. her parents got super excited because they thought she was finally taking art seriously ...

and then they found out what she had been doing for the last year. insert ugly screaming plates smashing argument where years of resentment and bottled up feelings came to the surface!!

ended up with her getting cut off and kicked out of the family aged 22, and now they pretend like she never existed. she still hasn't unpacked how she feels about it/how traumatic it was. will she? find out never :^)

luckily she had made quite a lot of money from her exhibitions (all part of the plan👍) and used that to fund her next actions which were a) move out into a studio apartment and b) guesting at even more tattoo studios

eventually formed a loyal client base who followed her when she opened up her own tattoo studio 캔버스 (canvas) in hongdae around three/two years ago!! 15% student discount just make sure to book in advance :D

moved into gyeogang street lofts a couple of years ago because it was cheaper but also for convenience purposes (closer to studio and she also needs her morning coffee before doing anything)

sort of here there everywhere and nowhere all at once

𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙬𝙞𝙨𝙚: notable aesthetics include early morning cigarettes, the sound of pen scratching against paper, ink on your fingertips, late night drives, biting your bottom lip until it bleeds, headphones constantly pulled over ears, piles of sketchbooks haphazardly stacked, wine stained lips, half-finished journals and mood boards

not the most likeable person. reserved, has a short temper, pessimistic, blunt and doesn't tend to talk much (attributed to the fact that she didn't really have friends her age until she was 19). the little that she does say can come across as snarky until you realise that's just how she talks, but she is trying to do her best to remedy that and initiate conversations first since she realises it's not the best trait of hers. her 2025 resolution was to be more approachable but she's spoken to approximately two people that weren't her clients so far, and one of them was a barista at brewed awakenings

important to note that her abrasiveness never stems from actual ill-wish or anger, she's just unware of how to explain her feelings or communicate very effectively. many of her harsh corners are rounded if you look close enough

loves loves loves her work, however, and any discussion about art or tattooing means her eyes will immediately start shining

𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙘𝙠-𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚 𝙥𝙡𝙤𝙩𝙨: sry lack of organisation means i dont have a plots page set up yet but throwing some ideas out so regulars at canvas (she loves u and the only way she can show it is giving u strawberry mogu mogu before every session); first time tattoo-getters (she also loves u); friends from university; fellow artists; childhood friends that she heavily relies on and has seen her at her best and worst; ex-bestfs; fwbs; fwbs getting messier by the second; exes; exes with lingering feelings; situationships; gamer friends; a "muse" for her; someone who's willing to be her practice canvas; someone guesting/interning at canvas; someone who simply doesn't like her and vice versa; found brother/sister; someone she keeps snapping at because you keep catching her on a bad day she's so sorry she promises she's not a bitc-

[amomentspause]

[ Hi hi my lovelies! My name is Keeley (she/her, gmt) and I'm the awkward potato behind Inhye and Seojin~ I so cannot wait to begin plotting and headcanonning and writing with you all! Fair warning, I'm a little bit on the slow side when it comes to replies both ic and ooc, but I'll try to keep up! I started rping on tumblr many, many years ago (actually don't ask me when because it will make me feel old xD) and have been away from the whole thing for almost as long because, well, life. So I may be a bit rusty and behind on all the latest do's and don'ts. Please guide me whenever you can and I will do my best not to sound like a granny ^^

This blog is still under construction, but it will host both my muses. Everything will eventually be clearly separated so you know whose info and posts are whose. But for now, you can find some snippets of their life below, as well as some wanted connections and starter ideas for each of them. If anything takes your fancy, please leave a lil' like on this post and I will potato roll into your im's!

Okay this is getting long now and one of my cats is licking my hand so much I can barely type so I must depart

Thank you for getting all the way through this~! Over to Inhye and Seojin...

Seong Inhye

10/10/1994

Apt. 12a

- Connections -

Extrovert, people person, perfectionist. Ambitious, hard working, focused, passionate, creative, obsessive, energetic. Has a sweet tooth, several scrapbooks full of photos, and a dream to turn her apartment into a houseplant jungle.

Some might call her upbringing privileged, and Inhye can't deny that it's true. She just can't see it that way herself.

Her parents were well off and loved her dearly. That love showed itself in their support of her passions. They financed her entire figure skating career from the age of seven, never discouraging her, only ever wanting her to succeed.

Inhye loved skating. She still does. It was nearly all she knew for half her life. But it became apparent late in her career that she'd hit a ceiling. She pushed herself to breaking point trying to fulfil her dreams and make good on her parents' expectations. And break she did.

There are still rumours to this day about her retirement from the sport. She suffered an injury to her ankle, true, but there were rivalries and drama and endless disappointments. It's safe to say that her parents were not pleased when she turned away from it all.

Broken too, was an unofficial engagement that her parents had planned for her since her early teens. No bad blood was lost between Inhye and her potential husband. Her father, on the other hand, has never forgiven Inhye for her rejection of his dreams for her. Needless to say, she and her parents are cordial at best. That's if they even see each other more than once a year.

Despite her bubbly personality, Inhye has had very few in the way of close friends. There was always something that pulled her away or made her put up walls. She's bitterly sad about it and resolved upon moving out of her parents' place that she'd find people to connect with.

Photography had always been her hobby. Just a fun thing to do to pass the time off the ice. But during her recovery, it became a way to understand the world around her, looking at the same rooms and spaces in a different light. She took to it like a fish to water.

She now owns her own small photography studio in Hongdae a few streets away from Gyeogang named Paraiba Photography. Whilst she does many shoots in the studio, from family portraits to maternity shoots, it's shooting on location at weddings that she really loves. She has over fifty weddings under her portfolio. And yes, though she doesn't tell anyone, she does enjoy the perks of the job - like occasional free cake.

Inhye has a strong dislike of coffee. Ironic since she's living above a coffee shop. But in its place, she could drink fruit blend teas all day. Also, again. There's cake.

Somewhat inspired by talking to florists at the weddings she's attended, Inhye has a growing love for flowers and plants. Apartment 12a is filled with tastefully arranged houseplants of various varieties, which Inhye will proudly admit she has conversations with from time to time.

She'd love nothing more than to own a dog. Alas, her schedule doesn't allow for it. Maybe one day.

Han Seojin

28/10/1995

Apt. 15c

- Connections -

Insomniac, coffee addict, hopeless romantic, serial dater, nerd, writer, drummer, keen cook. Younger brother, fun uncle, devoted son. Quiet, thoughtful, bit of a chaotic mess, but ever the optimist.

Seojin was raided by loving parents alongside his elder sister Seoyoon. The family lived above the samgyetang restaurant that his parents owned and his spare time was often spent helping cook or serve in the restaurant.

He and Seoyoon have a great relationship. They bicker and pretend to dislike each other as most siblings do, but both would do absolutely anything for each other.

Three years ago, Seoyoon discovered her husband was having an affair. She divorced him despite the repercussions she knew it might have, and devoted everything to raising her now five year old daughter Jisoo.

Seojin absolutely adores his niece and will often look after her at his parents or Seoyoon's apartment after school. He calls her Jiji and she she has taken to calling him Uncle Jinjin, much to Seoyoon's dismay and Seojin's delight.

He is, without a doubt, a complete nerd. Especially for fantasy. He's an avid rpg lover, devours the most lengthy of fantasy book series, and even DMed a DnD game for his friends back in uni. If you want him to open up a bit, ask him about his favourite books or video games. Just make sure you have at least half an hour to spare.

Though he tends to be reserved, it isn't through shyness. Seojin is often lost in his own worlds or thoughts, and likes to observe and listen. Some people take his quiet as a sign of rudeness, but it's often the opposite. He'd much rather listen to your story than tell his.

He'd always wanted to be a writer - a fantasy novelist if he was to think romantically. But its a tricky business, and so after failing to publish his first novel after graduating uni with a degree in English Lit, he stumbled into ghostwriting. It suits him well, keeping in the shadows, letting the words do the talking for him. He currently doesn't mind others taking credit for his work, especially when it enables him to write, publish and get paid for stories he loves to write. But he still harbours that naïve dream to one day see his work under his own name.

Seojin's friends claim his love life is cursed. He's been in seven relationships, and all have ended with him being dumped. As a bit of a hopeless romantic, he's found it all quite devastating. But it hasn't made him bitter. Far from it. He's eager to try again.

He moved into a top floor apartment to be the furthest away from Brewed Awakening as possible. As an insomniac, being a lover of coffee doesn't help his situation. Hence the need to lessen temptation. So far, his logic has soundly failed.

He shares his small apartment with his two adopted cats, Myeon and Luna. Both run circles around him, like to write their own paragraphs into his work, and have been trained to go on walks with him through the local neighbourhood. One at a time of course.

[hrtlune]

hi lovelies, angel ( she/they ) here !! ♡ it's super duper nice to meet all of you and i cannot wait to meet all of your precious cherubs. i have a full roster of angels to introduce you to, some more sweet than others. their profiles are unavailable ( a girl has been busy ), but you can read more about each of them under the cut ( short and sweet about each, promise ). if you'd like to plot at all, leave a little ♡ and i will peek into your dms asap !! if you'd prefer discord, i can share upon request. i don't mind either way !! thank you for reading this !! please take care and remember to drink water !! ♡

𐙚ㅤㅤ　THE FALLEN ANGELㅤㅤ　──ㅤㅤ　min nabiㅤㅤ　( twenty-eight. she/her. nepo baby. )

a girl born into the limelight, dining with a silver spoon in her mouth. mother is an actress — engraved as a household name in south korea. her father is a highly respected and talented director. an admirable couple that many adore.

nabi has flittered about within the spotlight. child model turned actress turned singer ( flashing tw ) back to an actress. chances are, you’ve seen her face on the campaign of some luxury brand, front page of a magazine, strutting down the runway, flaunting her next trip, or most notably: her name and face splashed across online tabloids and social media for whatever scandal she’s embroiled in.

though recently it’s been quiet, too quiet. netizens and fans alike wonder where the woman has disappeared to — all public social media radio silent. of course, if you were part of the elite circle nabi associated with, you’d know she’s taking a “break”. she’s currently attempting to live through the means of simplicity, tired of the public eye watching her every move. the harsh critiques met with idolization wore down on her, causing her to lose herself and question who she is as a person aside from bagging opportunities because of her parents or a pretty face. imposter syndrome anyone?

personality: first she’s sour, then she’s sweet . . . unless she’s networking or in front of the camera, then well, she has a front to dazzle anyone nearby. a woman who loves to party, still the life of the party drawing people in — even if she’s supposed to stay lowkey right now. she’s mesmerizing like that. charismatic, but superficial. terribly spoiled, struggles doing most day-to-day things ( read: she has to look it up ), but is industrious where it counts.

𐙚ㅤㅤ　THE GOOD BAD ANGELㅤㅤ　──ㅤㅤ　kim aeraㅤㅤ　( twenty-three. she/her. lead vocalist & guitarist. )

born in busan, but raised in pohang. known by older locals as the young aera that was scolded for always dancing around, singing throughout her father's cafe. she's the reason for the build in stage for local talent and tourists alike to sing tunes for customers.

moving to london ( where the name / stage name chloé was born ) was a bittersweet feeling, aera making promises that she'll make her father proud by graduating college, only to drop out with the pressure being too much for her to bear and being unfulfilled in trying to fit her father's narrative instead of her own dreams . . . the fear of disappointment combined with wasted potential is what has kept her away from visiting when she can. instead, she now finds herself in seoul.

while the band, revon ( stylized as revøn ) is gaining traction, aera works odd jobs — unable to deal with keeping the same job for too long / rather take joys in meeting new people / dealing with new situations.

think of her as that one unemployed friend on a tuesday getting up to some random venture, except it's her working some job. the most common one you would find her aiding with, is helping danbi at the daycare with the children. it's her favorite next to band gigs, but she won't ever admit that.

personality: has a tendency to talk more than needed, but eccentric in behavior . . not that she cares of the weird looks it brings her way. often to be a bit of a freethinker, causing issues with unlike minded people, but hey, aera doesn't mind a good debate. even her closest friends can't keep up with how unpredictable she is. just when you think you know her, she does a 180 and surprises them. perhaps that ties into her mischievous nature, but it spruces things up, doesn’t it?

𐙚ㅤㅤ　THE FIERY HEART OF GOLD ANGELㅤㅤ　──ㅤㅤ　kang hyunmiㅤㅤ　( twenty-three. she/her. student & dance choreographer. )

former heir to a major fashion brand, status if that will ever change? currently unknown. born as the older twin ( those 3 minutes count, okay? ) of kang hyunwoo. eventually, received the boot alongside her brother when they wouldn’t conform to their parents ways.

attends dongguk university for police and criminal justice. with a righteous heart, it is to no one's surprise that she wants to be an advocate for victims and stand up for what's right in a world that is so unjust and cruel.

with lack of funds from her parents, she landed a job as a dance choreographer; dance a form of expression for her and one of the few things she got her parents to let her entertain under the guise of working hard in school to eventually secure the family business.

personality: fiery in nature, a firecracker ready to ignite at any sign of injustice or something brining out the passionate side of her ( keep her away from all competitive games, thank you ). well-rounded in her skills and talents, seemingly good at anything she sets her mind to. tends to let her heart guide her more than her head, which leads to impulsive decisions. tends to over speak in a way that can drive the most sane person up the wall. not her fault she tends to be verbose. it's the only way she can get her emotions and thoughts across if it isn’t for standing up for someone or not dancing her true feelings.

𐙚ㅤㅤ　THE CULTURED BAD ASS ANGELㅤㅤ　──ㅤㅤ　amano hanaㅤㅤ　( twenty-four. she/her. streamer & webtoonist. )

if you think of the stereotypical nerd / geek, one wouldn't look at hana and picture her as one. tends to serve cunt, but accompanying that on her social media pages is her cosplaying as some of her favorite characters ( and requests made by fans as well ). one of the more well-known streamers out there, tending to stick to video games and show binge sessions. currently has two moderately successful webtoons that have been her children since she was a young child in school. she pours her heart into them. has ventured into voice acting work, perhaps you have heard her in some well-known anime.

not much is known to the public or those close to her about hana's family, only that she's originally from seoul, but spent a lot of her childhood in japan, only to later return to seoul where she now resides. she prefers to keep it this way for reasons she won't disclose.

tends to lack a filter, oops? definition of: don't care, didn't ask, my boobs/tits bounce when i walk. has a great strut walk, but it's just how she normally walks.

personality: full of confidence in herself. took a long road to get there, but she will never be ashamed of who she is and what she likes. has a high sense of imagination and applies it to things she does every day, even down to simple problem solving. tends to be overdramatic, which leads to people calling her fake or whatnot, but why would she care about that? she doesn’t hold grudges long, but god can the girl be anymore petty? hint: the answer is always yes.

ꕥ —hey hey again guys, i definitely didn't crash after putting out my first two intros :') which i will get to all your lovely ims as soon as i finish writing about my third muse, the amazing idiotboy sejoon! (or joonie as most people call him) who enjoys uploading dumb skateboarding stunts, flirting w/ cute girls and drumming for kim aera's band! on his blog you will find a profile of course along with some lovely plot ideas, and under the cut i will provide some bullet points about his life! just like last time, simply leave a like on this and i'll hyu in the near future on his behalf! ♡

sejoon was born seaside in busan south korea in august of 1999 — no really, his mom was on her way to deliver a forgotten lunch to joonie's father only to go into labor 2 weeks early right there at the marina (his father likes to joke that joonie was too dumb to know he wasn't at the hospital lmao)

his father worked as a captain aboard a deep sea fishing vessel which brought in a ton of money for the family, while his mother was able to follow her dreams of being a schoolteacher without worry of the cost of such an endeavor.

he has an older brother which will definitely be a wc at some point! i picture someone more intelligent, successful and altogether more refined than joonie lol but that would be entirely up to the mun bringing him in!

a lifelong lover of both drumming and skateboarding. in fact, he loves to upload drum solos as the backing audio for the insane stunts he shares.

joonie greatly enjoyed growing up in busan and has always been a huge beach bum, but when he went away to school in seoul (waste of tuition since he ended up dropping out lmao) he fell in love with the city so a compromise had to be made.

he stayed in the city, the complex above brewed awakening to be exact, but he'd take occasional weekend trips home to busan so he could have the best of both worlds.

sejoon joined up with kim aera's band when he moved out to seoul and is now a drummer by trade, able to live off what he makes from his part in it along with some supplemental cash from his parents. his mom is his biggest supporter and is very sweet and buys the band's albums while his father is always justifiably roasting him (with love tho sldkfjdkm)

literally always has women on his mind i'm sorry, GOOD LUCK GETTING HIS ATTENTION WITH A PRETTY GIRL IN THE ROOM (unless ur the pretty girl)

personality wise: he is an emotionally simple comic relief himbo, but he does have a lot of creative chops when it comes to music and filming videos so he may not be a complete lost cause yet. that said, he does dumb and dangerous things on a pretty regular basis so maybe he is. he can be a fun person to hang out with as he loves to make people laugh and feel good, but his dedication to never leaving the fun party headspace can be exhausting for some.

important note: whenever something catches his eyes as being spicy on netflix or the like, he likes to hold a watch party in his apartment! idk why my muses love having mass gatherings in their tiny tiny lofts but let them cook 😭

[tightestrope]

ꕥ — it is kiro once again, back with another muse! this time i'm happy to introduce hyunjae, a very easygoing (almost irreverently so), poker playing train mechanic from a fairly local area! like the first time, i do have a profile for him as well as a few plot ideas, but i've yet to write a full bio as i've had so much else on my plate~ but i will provide some key information about him below the cut in bullet points! i forgot to say this the first time, but if you'd like to plot with any of my muses, please just leave a like on their intro and i will come and say hello! from there we can plot through ims or exchange dcs, whichever works for you!

is a lifelong resident of seoul and is perfectly content with that. he really likes the idea of a simple life in a simple city and really doesn't have many ambitions outside of that.

while he does have a massive passion for trains, he mostly fell into working on them for seoul metro because his dad had and still has a lengthy tenure there.

his parents wanted more for him; to pursue something outside of the bubble he'd always resided in. in his mind, he always wondered: why did he need more? he made good money. had an apartment with plenty of room for himself (most of the time).

he was happy, even despite the constant push and pull from the people around him to aspire for more. everyone was so sure he'd end up unfulfilled when really, they were the ones who'd burned themselves out chasing a break that was never coming.

despite his claims of happiness, hyunjae can very much be a glutton for punishment. his arm full of colorful artwork is enough of a sign of that. there's something about putting his hand to the fire again and again knowing he will only get burned once more that satiates something in him.

personality-wise: he's a kind soul, very warm and open with people but also quite honest though he tries to be nice about it. he's laidback to a fault; never believes the sky is falling or the wolves are coming, though he might humor you if you think that. a comforting but offbeat presence that tends to fill a room and draw eyes, even though he pretends not to notice.

important things to note: he holds a poker night in his apt every sunday and all are welcome (might even utilize lipoker for it if ppl want to play as their muses 4 real sjdjfhg), he is in a very messssssy toxic fling with min nabi that he is lowkey probably addicted to + 3rd and most importantly: he's good w/ his hands :| |: :| :oooo

[digitalhello]

hello everyoneee ♥ i'm here with the person behind doors of 8a apartment, song yuri; the definition of a gifted child who's gone through the good old fashioned burnout. i have her short dossier here and her pinterest board for vibes here if you want to check it out. under read more you can find out more about her bio in form of bulletpoints!

27th of october, making her double scorpio + capricorn for my astrology loving friends, born and raised in seoul!

both of her parents are accountants and both of them are the definition of tiger parents. as far as her memory goes and as busy as her parents were with their jobs, they've also always emphasized studying, reading and learning and she was already attending cram school when she was four — to which her mother said was already too late. she didn't have barbies or bratz dolls growing up, and instead, newest book about physics or chemistry would be placed on her table as a present.

and soon enough everyone learned that she's actually quite talented when it came to numbers. the go-to for teachers if no one else understands the equations, been in math clubs throughout her school years, even won a national competition once (though it didn't matter to her mom because yuri was still always second on the students' grades list in high school lol!!), with many diplomas collecting dust in cardboard boxes back in her childhood bedroom.

her life was genuinely boring compared to her peers': while many were experiencing first loves, karaoke bars and exploring their youths, yuri was literally just... studying lol! it was a bit overwhelming but the knowledge of how many hours your parents put into your education and the guilt of "i cant let them down" every time her spirits waned kind of """"helped""" her push through. thankfully she was never made to pick up an instrument because her breakdown would've come a lot sooner... additionally while she wasn't the #1 pick of students in terms of popularity (her being taller than some of her male classmates didn't really help), she was generally liked; she'd help tutor other students and help them out! she never had that stuck up aura around her due to her grades

never really complains about anything because every time she tries to she's hit with the "i don't have time right now sweetie" so she just. bottles everything up... which is still a coping mechanism to this day whoops

it all pays off though and miss girl gets a ticket to a dept of astrophysics at snu :) her parents couldn't be prouder and obviously it's thanks to their care and dedication that yuri is given this special once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and really they made so many sacrifices in the past years... they put in their blood, sweat and tears into her... someone pat them on the back quickly!!!

(never mind the fact yuri doesn't actually remember when was the last time she ate a homemade meal of her mother's... or father's)

to stop yapping about her past tl;dr: the continuous flow of expectations and pressure makes yuri crumble in her second year of studies. she tries to push through, but with the amount of classes she's skipping on purpose... she eventually... drops out >_< and is promptly... cut off. because how dare she repay her parents like this after everything!!! hasn't spoken to her mom in years though her dad does reach out to check if she's alive from time to time

she couch surfs for about six months while working part time jobs until a close friend tells her about gyeogang's apts and helps her out with rent when she moves in in late 2022.

has been working as a florist at a local flowershop since 2023 and the job is, in spite of its actual nature that can be hectic and sometimes clocking in over 12 hrs a day, quite calming to her!!! after everything she enjoys having her hands occupied like that and seeing what her hands actually make when it comes to bouquets.

personality wise yuri is quite timid, sometimes too much for her own good. she tries to avoid conflicts and arguments, empathetic to others' opinions and feelings, on the introverted side. will help out however she can. quite warm when you befriend her, the type of friend for life & the type of friend you can reach out to after years of no contact without that feelings of awkwardness lingering in air. holds petty grudges however and will also completely ignore you if you asked her re: her uni situation...

some other tidbits: — has a six month old orange tabby named minnie. she thought it's a girl for longest time so the name just stuck.... and yes she's a victim to orange cat shenanigans — her apt is filled with cat safe plants!!! ask her abt recommendations or cuttings and she's your gal — has a deep fear of tinder — cycles wherever she can!!! she has a little green bike with one of those baskets on the front — got all of her piercings on a whim — has a faceless youtube vlog she hasn't posted on in like nine months — says how she needs to cook more but always forgets to buy eggs so she lives off of delivery — the type to leave anonymous noise complains notes on community board instead of directly confronting lol...

i prefer brainstorming for plotting, or taking up other people's wanted plots as my brain is pea sized when it comes to offering ideas on the spot so i will be sliding into dms instead!!!

[chiffonbleue]

hiya lovelies, happy soft opening!! 🌼 i go by cyan (they/them) and i'm extremely excited to be here! it's been eons since i last rped on tumblr so please forgive me for any slight hiccups while i get back into the swing of things ... 😅 currently i have two (2) muses to introduce ⸺ park bosung & imogen roe. info about them + some wanted connections will be under the cut. as always, if you'd like to plot, please click the 💙 and i'll message you when i'm free from work!!!

about bosung (보성), 24, he/him

born on march 21st, 2000 in tongyeong to park minshik, a restaurant owner, and mae yeran, an acupuncturist. his parents separated when bosung was three years old but never officially divorced on paper. although he was co-parented amicably between households, bosung feels closer to his father.

his love for food and willingness to try new things was heavily influenced by his dad, who constantly introduced him to different dishes while he was growing up. he will always try something at least once - and if he doesn't like it, he won't eat it again. the only thing off the table are strawberries.... he's allergic to those.

bosung excelled creatively the most in school, and ran in social circles confidently. his grades weren't the best but they weren't the worst, as he'd take home pretty average marks. he never really fussed or stressed about his academics, unlike some of his peers, and spent his time helping out at his dad's restaurant vs attending a hagwon.

the interest in pottery didn't start until his now ex-girlfriend took him on a date to a ceramic studio when he was seventeen. he never had hands-on experience with clay and a pottery wheel until then, and enjoyed his time so much that he wanted to learn more.

pottery making became a hobby for bosung, and then eventually more than that, interested in pursuing a career in that field. he originally applied to yonsei university to study ceramics and sculpture but his application was denied. that didn't stop him from moving to seoul, though; he packed a couple bags and left tongyeong, chasing his new dream.

his first few years in the city were tough. he worked short-term jobs as a sheep cafe employee, a janitor, and a baemin delivery driver to keep himself afloat. on his days off, he would take classes at the nearest art studio, wanting to get better at his craft. bosung ultimately befriended the owner after attending these classes so often and was offered a job, assisting in teaching pottery part-time.

he also has an online food blog entitled 'tastefully captured', where he posts photos and detailed reviews of dishes he's had and made. he does document his restaurant reviews as well, but they are infrequent as he doesn't want to be known as a critic but rather a lover of food instead. this blog is treated mostly as a hobby than a profession but has gained a decent following since its creation. a commission, albeit small, is being earned with his posts.

as far as living arrangements went, he stayed in a gosiwon until he heard about vacancy in the gyeogang street lofts, applying for residency and hoping for the best.

bosung has since lived on the second floor from september 2022 onwards, in apartment 3a. he is known as a reliable neighbor, someone who is friendly and approachable on first impression, and will make light conversation with other tenants. on the flip side, he has a tendency to be quite a bit of a food snob, preferring to eat home-cooked meals or at shops and restaurants with reputable reviews. frozen, instant, and fast foods are a big no no. it is worth mentioning he prefers tea over coffee.

wanted connections: ex flings he never expected to see again, childhood friends from tongyeong that also moved to seoul, former co-workers from his previous job at the sheep cafe, someone who loves his cooking, someone who hates his cooking, cat and mouse friendship or relationship, someone who makes him further question his sexuality, sunshine and the sunshine protector, friends who drag him out clubbing, fellow foodies

about imogen (이모젠), 22, she/her

the third and youngest child of jaehui "jay" and lillian roe, born on july 5th, 2002 in seattle, washington. she has two older brothers, leo and jude, both of whom she is close with.

her father works as a funeral director while her mother is a bank teller. they are both korean-american, jay being born in seoul and immigrating to the united states, while lillian was born and raised in washington.

her parents very seldomly spoke korean at home so her proficiency in the language is fairly low. since being in korea, she has made the effort in trying to learn how to speak and write correctly, but hasn't fully grasped it yet.

throughout her childhood and adolescence, imogen was known as bubbly and charming, often exuding high energy. those who couldn't match it or found her overly optimistic attitude overbearing withdrew from her. she used to blame herself when people did as such, as it wasn't her intention to put them off, but has gotten better at not letting it get to her as much over the years.

imogen temporarily moved to seoul in april 2024, the goal being to soul search and fully engulf herself in and absorb her culture, since she's been mostly disconnected from it for most of her life until that point. she wasn't supposed to stay long term - it was only meant to be for three months, but ended up applying for a visa to extend her stay.

as she was looking for a more permanent residence, imogen stayed with her paternal grandmother. she was initially socially awkward with her but their relationship improved over the months she had stayed in her care. feeling somewhat restricted with her grandma's house rules, she almost answered a roommate wanted ad in itaewon but ultimately decided to look for different options.

originally visited the brewed awakening cafe after hearing the buzz about it on social media, and only later found out about the renovated loft apartments afterwards. imogen had the bright idea to inquire further about them, yet was conflicted about leaving her grandmother; she didn't want to seem ungrateful for her hospitality, and knew she could stay as long as she wanted - but she plucked up the courage and expressed her desire to be independent and have her own space.

apartment 14b has been her home since november 2024. admittedly, she is not the best neighbor; often cultivating noise complaints during late hours, as she's a night owl and isn't exactly the most subtle or quiet person around. she loves to invite guests over and have them stay until the early hours of the morning, taking advantage of the quality time spent. she absolutely loves watching and rewatching shows whilst enjoying some takeout, and there's nothing better to her than sharing those moments with friends.

she works as a nail technician at a popular salon in the hongdae area, as she completed schooling for cosmetology and received her license from evergreen beauty college's everett campus after graduating high school. thankfully, the distance between the gyeogang street lofts and her workplace is within walking distance, and she never fails to take an almond croissant to go before her shifts.

wanted connections: loyal clients at the nail salon, apartment residents that don't get along with her (for her noisy habits or otherwise), golden retriever and black cat, tinder match that turns platonic, tinder match that turns toxic and sour, language tutor, sibling type of friendship, confidant, enemies to friends, fellow expats, unrequited love where she is crushing on your muse and the sentiment isn't returned

(♡˘ ᵕ ˘♡)

✱ turn off the grinder, park danbi is coming this way! they live upstairs in apt 11a and they’re probably only coming down to get their order. since they moved in, people have found the 26 year old to be encouraging & dependable, sure, but i’ve heard rumblings they can be evasive & weak-willed too. guess that comes with being a full-time teacher at a local daycare center. wait, shhhh! welcome to brewed awakening, here’s your iced matcha latte with oatmilk! hope you have a cozy day! whew, that was close. you know, they look a lot like choi jisu (lia). i may have to get their number…

basic stats.

birth name. park danbi. 박단비.

date of birth. 10/11/1997 (26 years old).

current residence. apartment 11a at gyeogang street lofts.

current occupation. full-time daycare teacher at seoul sprouts.

persona.

positive traits. encouraging, dependable and forgiving. 

neutral traits. calm, appreciative and tolerant. 

negative traits. compulsive, evasive and weak-willed.

trivia.

* ⊰ . danbi is a full-time daycare teacher at seoul sprouts — a local daycare center, where she has worked for the past several years. she adores children, and is especially close with the students in her class, wanting to foster a safe and comfortable environment for them to thrive in before moving onto higher education.

* ⊰ . she is a newer resident to the apartment building, having only recently moved to gyeogang street lofts within the last few months, having wanted to be closer to her boyfriend, minkyu, who lives in the apartment across from hers in 11b.

* ⊰ . her parents didn't want her moving in with minkyu before getting married, so the two of them decided the next best thing to do is to just live next to each other until they're ready to get engaged— what your parents don't know won't hurt them, right?

* ⊰ . she loves animals, having a soft spot for cats and often spends a lot of time taking care of the stray cats outside the apartment building, always making sure they're well-fed and warm during the winter months.

* ⊰ . she also loves gardening, and has quite the green thumb — she is often seen taking care of plants around the apartment complex. she's also trying her hand at being a vegetarian.

wanted connections.

* ⊰ . a good friend and/or someone she's been friends with since childhood.

* ⊰ . mutual friends of her and minkyu! double dates would be so fun please.

* ⊰ . she loves cooking so it's possible maybe you smell something she's making and come up to ask for a bite.

* ⊰ . fellow cat lovers who like to take care of the little stray kittens outside the apartment building with her.

* ⊰ . plant lovers! someone who either has an interest in plants or maybe tries to help her do a little gardening here and there.

* ⊰ . someone who keeps getting her mail and/or packages delivered to their door by mistake. she would feel so bad about this and apologize a hundred times.

* ⊰ . fellow teachers or perhaps someone associated with the daycare in some way.

* ⊰ . some old friends or acquaintances from when she was in high school or college.

* ⊰ . relatives of some of her students? maybe they're a little brother or sister or even a cousin or something.

* ⊰ . someone who she thinks is the parent of one of the kids at daycare would also be cute and hilarious.

these are just some basic plots to get us started but of course i'm always open to any and all kind of plots so if none of these tickle ur fancy let's brainstorm something for our muses hehe !! anyway thank you for taking the time to read this and i'm super excited to plot with everyone !! ♡(˃͈ ˂͈ )

[longiflorums]

let's give this another go...! you can call me rui (26, she/her), i'm here to pen the lovely lily spiegel (26, translator and food content creator) for brewed awakenings! for some preliminary info while i set up her full bio, here's some quick facts about her, as well as a mun note from the typist. i'll probably get things started by reblogging a few ask memes or photos so her blog doesn't look so lonesome, and slowly make my way into people's inboxes to contact for plots - in the meantime, do shoot me an instant message if you think you have a connection that lily can fill! <3 ( gif credit )

some quick connection ideas:

foodie friend - lily's been on a madeleine kick lately. if you don't mind her furiously typing notes about the notes of vanilla and lemon into her phone, and swerving a camera around to film the food before you both dig in, why don't you accompany her on her french bakery escapades?

hey, that name sounds familiar... - is your muse a bookworm? maybe they've seen lily's name on the cover of some translated books while browsing the new releases at a bookstore!

paradox - lily's great at baking and cooking, but ask her to do anything else with her hands and it's a great big mess. your muse invites her to accompany them to a jewelry-making/pottery/painting class and the results are nothing short of laughably disastrous!

i've tried your recipe! it was awful! - oops! sorry your muse's attempt at replicating a recipe lily posted on her blog didn't turn out well. did you use whole-wheat flour instead of all-purpose...?

[cageddoves]

𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 — hi hi ! my name is gracie (24, she/her) and i’m here to bring in my two babies: roman and chiyo. my blog is very much under construction atm, so i’ve included a short blurb on them below and some wanted connections. i’m so excited to write with you all ~

𝑻𝑨𝑵𝑨𝑲𝑨 𝑪𝑯𝑰𝒀𝑶 — the white swan ˗ˏˋ ꒰ she/her, cis woman, ballerina, demi ꒱ ˎˊ˗

𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚 : grew up very wealthy as her family owns a large pharmaceutical company in japan. over the years, the company has suffered from the usual business issues like competition and a couple hush-hush lawsuits, so her lifestyle was gradually downgraded. throughout the difficulties at home, ballet was her anchor to believe in a promising future and making a name for herself away from her family’s legacy.

𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 :

the mentor — the ballerina that’s offered to train her (i’ve imagined this as a misty copeland type?)

the other half — unbeknownst to her, chiyo has a half sister out there. we can iron out the details and if this is a crushing family secret or merely a complicated past her parent never disclosed. ( muse would have to be either half chinese or half japanese )

the guide — someone that helps her navigate the city and eventually becomes a close friend. chiyo grew up in a world of swanky ballet academies and servants, so she is quite sheltered from the real-world and will absolutely need someone to help ground her. (taken by yang dongwoo)

the first love — chiyo had a long distance relationship prior to moving to korea, and now that she’s here they finally meet for the first time. definitely a sweet first-love vibe, everything’s new and exciting and a little awkward. whether or not that lasts, however…

the grudge — perhaps chiyo envies this muse’s carefree vibe, or overheard them say a dismissive comment about ballet and her pedigree. whatever it was, chiyo holds a quiet disdain for them. (taken by oh hani and ki sooji)

the nuisance — chiyo cannot cook and has set off the fire alarm several times. combine that with her tendency to obsessively practice ballet drills in the dead of the night… and it’s understandable why this neighbor isn’t too pleased with her.

the other pea — could be someone that walks an entirely different life than her, maybe they’re older or more brazen in nature. regardless, chiyo considers them one of her most precious friends.

𝑳𝑬𝑬 𝑹𝑶𝑴𝑨𝑵 — the rolling stone ˗ˏˋ ꒰ he/him, cis man, businessman, straight ꒱ ˎˊ˗

𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚 : used to be that kid who was always involved with something ( “ roman… where did you get that watch? why are you out of breath? are those sirens?! ” ) and kept this up until his late twenties. a family tragedy spurred him to go into the military which helped straighten him out, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t gather his fair share of enemies and loyal allies from his past. not to mention the skeletons in his closet. went to college in america to become a business consultant. now, he has dreams of starting his own business, so he downsized to an apartment and is working on building this passion project. ( kinda thinking he wants to start an entertainment company and would start with managing a couple idols and influencers first? orrr starting up a private investigation company, not sure yet though! )

𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 :

the bad blood — as mentioned before, he’s burned a lot of bridges! he could even have beef with your muse’s parent (oof!) (taken by park danbi)

the ex(es) — roman had a lot of girlfriends and flings in his past, was often the one that got away, suddenly ghosted, or was the other man.

the right-hand man — someone around his age (or older) that he trusts to open up his new company with.

the redux — an old relationship that ended poorly when roman suddenly pulled away with no explanation. after over a decade apart, they run into each other and there’s an opportunity for him to make amends.

the assistant — a part-time worker to take calls, bring him coffee, and just generally help keep his life in order.

the mirror — someone that reminds him of his younger self, and he feels the urge to guide them so that they don't make the same mistakes.

[nomoderation]

wheeeww haven't done this in a minute, but hi everyone, i'm sunny! super excited to be here with jieun. she's a dj and (occasional) producer, so works a lot of late nights. you can catch her in the stairwell, sluggishly making her way upstairs, or at your favorite club playing your favorite music. i've got a profile page up with some stats, a few plots, and some more info on her background/personality below. you can hmu for plots or give this a like and i'll slide into your dms!

the story, as told by jieun, is this: ordinary clings to her skin like a sheen of sweat. her life has been typical—childhood and adolescence spent chasing after good grades and praise until the years are all cashed in and she's a twenty-something with no purpose. she'd tell you she "chose life" over a big grin, whatever that means, and pursued her passions.

the untold story is far more revealing: she's always been like this; a little eccentric, a lot more restless, never too willing to sit still and fit into a mold. as if she's running from something, or someone. she doesn't like constraints or rules. in that regard, jieun's difficult, hard to get a proper grasp of, just as she likes.

as for her upbringing... let's just say it was always her grandmother and her. she's not in contact with her older brother (the genius he is), and the narrative she chooses to compensate for her lack of trying is that he's never been a steady presence in her life anyway. everything else is just part of the details: took care of halmeoni before she passed, dropped out of university, worked a few odd jobs, stopped planning her life years out in advance—you get the gist.

when it comes to her career, jieun's good at what she does. she has a few notable credits and a bit of a following, but she's still small enough to remain in obscurity. when she's not working, she's being a bit of a nuisance to her neighbors by making new tracks, or she's lounging at a park with a good book.

personality-wise, she's laid-back, of a mild temperament, knows how to have a good time and makes for good company. also not someone that concerns herself with the consequences of her actions, so she's a go-getter, in more ways than one.

and now for some inspo:

[pixelwhispcr]

               *  𝐂𝐔𝐄 : 𝐃𝐑𝐎𝐏 𝐈𝐓 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄 𝐈𝐓𝐒 𝐇𝐎𝐓  *  hey hEY HEY, friends!! i'm late to the party, but better late than never, right? i'm SUN, repping the CST time zone ( t e x a s, bby 🤠 ). ngl, i suck at intros, and it's been a minute since I rped in a group, so bear with me. but! to cut to the chase—i'll be bringing you the mess that is 𝙺𝙸 𝚂𝙾𝙾𝙹𝙸 & 𝚂𝙴𝙾 𝚃𝙰𝙴𝚆𝙾𝙾 !!  i’m super excited to be here and start writing with you guys, so if you want to know more about them, check out what’s below !!  if you’d like to plot , just light up that HEART  ♡ . 

‧ ₊ ˚ 🖇️ MEET THE TENANT : ⠀ 𝙺𝙸 𝚂𝙾𝙾𝙹𝙸   @   APT # 5B

𝙎𝙔𝙉𝙊𝙋𝙎𝙄𝙎: ki sooji was born into wealth, status, and sky-high expectations—none of which ever fit her. cut off at 17 for rebelling, she found solace in the neon glow of internet cafés, where casual gaming turned into a full-blown esports career. now a top league pro, streamer, and influencer, she thrives on chaos—loud, playful, and a menace to society (read: her neighbors). she dodges deep feelings like a pro, preferring late-night convenience store runs and impulsive antics over self-reflection. once desperate to be who her parents wanted, now she refuses to be anything but herself.

‧ ₊ ˚ 🖇️ MEET THE TENANT : ⠀ 𝚂𝙴𝙾 𝚃𝙰𝙴𝚆𝙾𝙾   @   APT # 13C

𝙎𝙔𝙉𝙊𝙋𝙎𝙄𝙎: seo taewoo was never meant for the chaos of the city, but somehow, he ended up here—just another outsider trying to blend in. a small-town boy with a love for books and a knack for words, he carves out his own quiet existence as a copyeditor, perfectly content to let stories speak louder than he does. polite but distant, generous but elusive, he’s the neighbor who will lend you a cup of sugar but vanish before you can say thank you. more at home in fiction than reality, he spends most of his time holed up in his apartment or lingering in the café downstairs, pretending to work while watching life pass him by.

[cageddoves]

i have quite a bit of dms to get back to (aaaand dossiers/bios to post rip), but i figured i'd throw my new baby out there real quick. wanted connections and deets on him below. like this if you’re interested in plotting with him!

this is not proofread so i'm sorry in advance for the typos-

𝑨𝑵𝑮𝑬𝑳 𝑬𝑽𝑬𝑹𝑯𝑨𝑹𝑻 — the runaway ˗ˏˋ ꒰ he/him, cis man, works for a ship manufacturer, pan. ꒱ ˎˊ˗

tw: mentions of violence 𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚 : i will save y'all some of the depressing details, but essentially ángel used to live in spain with his loving family. after they fell on hard times, he got caught up in prizefighting in his late teens. he would get a sizeable cut of the betting pool each time he won, which he used to help support his family for years. after one fight went too far, it finally clicked for ángel that he couldn't continue living this way. he left spain to escape his old reputation and has been here for two years under a work visa.

𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝒕𝒊𝒅𝒃𝒊𝒕𝒔 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒉𝒊𝒎 :

his name is said with the spanish pronunciation which sounds like ahng-hel. he genuinely hates the english pronunciation of angel, so if someone struggles to say his name properly they can call him hart or ahn.

chose his job partially because he had the experience, but mainly because he would have his face covered 99.9% of the time. anonymity is very important to him.

is so so so guarded with his personal life and honestly paranoid that someone will recognize him from a blurry fight video or something.

surprisingly a flirt, and good at it. he was popular with women back in spain and despite some language barriers he still manages to flirt well.

𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 :

the teacher(s) — ángel's grasp on korean is decent as he learns new languages rather quickly, but he absolutely needs a couple people to help him improve his pronunciation. in exchange, he can offer to pay them with money or through favors. (taken by nam haesol and seo taewoo)

the ghost of you — a muse that reminds him of his friend that passed years ago. they will catch him staring a little too long, and likely notice his guarded personality doesn't seem to apply to them.

the 'friend' with benefits — it's unclear if either of them consider each other to be friends, but it is clear that there are benefits. at times, ángel stays with them a little longer than he would if they were strangers. (taken by ki eugene)

the gem — he genuinely finds this muse too pure for the world, and gets the nagging desire to protect them however he can. hopefully he doesn’t scare them away in the process.

the petty — they mispronounced his name one too many times, and now they have beef.

the catalyst — this muse manages to get under his skin a lot, and may see the old ángel make a return. (taken by son hyunjae)

the crew — in ángel's pursuit to find himself outside of the life he used to know, he's discovered that gaming helps him let off steam. these muses are who he often games with, and has developed a quiet attachment to them. (taken by sejoon lee, ki sooji, more spots open!)

the respite — this muse notices that he leans into their innocent touches often. ángel has an unspoken softness towards them found in the way he puts some of his weight on them when they're side-by-side, or rests his head against their shoulder when they're watching a movie, or his fingers linger on the cup being passed. truthfully, being so guarded has him touch starved and he feels comfortable enough with this muse to seek small moments of comfort. (taken by noh yubin)

the reason — someone that invites ángel out a lot to things like parties and concerts to force him to let loose. (taken by isla kwon)
