intro.

aloha everyone \o/ ‘tis i nugget mun ( she/her ; pst/pdt ) and i’m here with my messy girl yoori. i’ll give a good rundown of her past for everyone! and heeere are some connection ideas. if those don’t fit or if you have an idea of where she might fit, please don’t hesitate to hit me up!! 

✂︎ ━━ born in korea to a middle class family, mom constantly gloated to others about how pretty her daughter was and eventually started entering her into child pageants.

✂︎ ━━ yoori was very popular amongst her peers as she was very sociable even from a young age and her eidetic memory helped her in learning new talents for the competitions. she dislikes the whole ordeal of being gussied up and paraded around, preferring running barefoot and getting dirty like any other kid, but she deals with it as best she can.

✂︎ ━━ as she grows up, she discovers the usefulness of the competitions via traveling, scholarship offers and a platform to speak up about her passions. she’s admired for wanting to pursue the medical field and her volunteer work at the hospitals.

✂︎ ━━ her family helps prepare her for college. as part of a deal between her and her mother, she takes a year or so off to focus on competition related events before actually entering into university.

✂︎ ━━ in one of her competitions, she finds out the girl she’s running for top spot against is a hypocrite against the values set by the competition itself but with no actual proof, she knows it would be slander to say anything. more than a little desperate, she sleeps with one of the judges to secure his vote.

✂︎ ━━ she wins and the guilt she feels over cheating succumbs to the more pressing matter of her enjoying the thrill she’d gotten from something so taboo. she does it again and again, even pursuing some of her professors. unlike the first time, she has no motive except enjoying the rush and thrill of the forbidden.

✂︎ ━━ someone manages to get pictures of her and a judge in a compromising position and the video is leaked. the scandal blows up. everything about her wins and even her grades comes into question and eventually, her reputation as the flawless gem of the pageant scene is completely ruined.

✂︎ ━━ her mother is furious, unforgiving of her hard work going to waste. her father is disappointed but pushes her to make the best of it.

✂︎ ━━ with her scholarship rescinded, her peers making crude remarks and leaving messages all over her social media and anywhere else she can see, and the overall ruination before her caused by her own hands, yoori reaches a point she stops caring and starts adopting a more hedonistic attitude. she strengthens the armor of her skin, pretending it’s invincible even when the barbs of her peers’ words still managing to nick her. the hurt is swallowed down like a bitter pill.

✂︎ ━━ the only thing she truly worries about is her schooling, no one taking her serious and still intent on crucifying her but still she persists. she moves to yongsa, somewhere she hopes is a bit more untouched and unaware of her past. she takes up a room at the sharehouse, preferring it over an apartment by herself– new people, new experiences.

✂︎ ━━ people in the city still recognize her. it’s nowhere near as bad as the bigger cities but still, she has to endure the wayward insults and comments, the stares and whispers sent her way when she walks down the halls of the university she’d managed to snag another scholarship at. the price of freedom is never cheap, after all.

a fisherman is trying to sell her a carp for a ridiculous price and yoori argues with him, attempting to haggle him down. no, she doesn't care if it has magic powers because she's just going to release it back to the sea-- she lives in an apartment, not a house with a pond to put the poor thing in, and she doesn't fancy spending so much money on one fish to eat either. convincing him of this is next to impossible. yoori thinks she's wearing him down, but just when she sees him faltering, the sun turns up the luminence and the most bubblegum pop song to ever bubblegum quite literally pops in her ears.

she jolts awake, a groan leaving her as she blindly pats around for her cellphone. it's not it's usual place on her bedside table nor is it on her person (there's *nothing* on her person, in fact). another groan and she begins unraveling herself from the blankets until she's free to sit up. she bravely opens her eyes and quickly seeks out her discarded pants, finding them right near the bed, grabbing them with her toes and pulling them near her. her phone within reach, she yanks it free of her pocket and turns off the alarm before finally collapsing backwards onto the bed.

"how do you function having a hangover with those sheer curtains?" she questions aloud to her bed partner, wherever she may be, a slight whine to her voice as she casts a glare at said curtains. the previous night's little activities had come back to her somewhere between her toe aerobics and... the obviousness she's not in her own room. rude awakening or not, she knows nothing about her and jiwoo's fun last night would be absent from her mind at all forever.
