step  by  step,  items  were  checked  off  the  mental  to  do  list  of  the  day    —    eating  her  body  weight  in  sweets  and  desserts,  check,  winning  a  prize  in  one  of  the  games,  check.  the  last  remaining  item  on  the  checklist  was  the  ferris  wheel,  although  rory  found  that  she  did  not  save  the  best  for  last.  it  was  under  the  idealistic  guise  of  saying  yes,  facing  your  fears  and  chasing  experiences  that  she  forced  herself  in  line  for  the  ride.  but  by  the  time  she  reached  the  front,  she  found  herself  rocking  back  and  forth  on  her  feet  with  clammy  palms  of  her  hands. not  surprisingly,  she  found  herself  clutching  onto  railing  of  the  cart,  fingers  refusing  to  leave  the  metal  bar  that  was  supposed  to  guarantee  her  safety.  and  to  make  matters  worse,  fate  decided  to  trap  her  in  the  ride  with  the  very  last  person  she  wanted  to  face  in  her  state  of  pure  and  utter  anxiety.    “  oh,  hey,  ”    the  raven  haired  woman  murmured,  followed  by  lips  pursing  together  in  the  hopes  of  stifling  a  yelp  in  surprise  as  the  ferris  wheel  began  to  move.    simply  do  not  look  down.    that  is  all  she  had  to  do,  not  look  down. perhaps  the  best  strategy  as  to  avoiding  the  sights  was  to  simply  close  her  eyes altogether.  to  not  look  at  all.  the  tactic  seemed  foolproof    —    a  win-win situation  in  the  eyes  of  both  her  fear  of  heights  and  unwillingness  to  face  a figure of the past.    “  how’ve  you  been  enjoying  the  getaway  so  far?  ”

first  of  all  ,  jonnie  was  not  afraid  of  heights  …  well  ,  okay  maybe  he  was  just  a  little  bit  .  but  hey  it  was  a  common  fear  !  just  because  he  grew  up  in  the  city  didn’t  mean  that  he  still  didn’t  shake  a  little  when  he  looked  out  the  window  of  his  apartment  .  it  was  normal  !  however  that  didn’t  mean  he  was  gonna  say  no  to  sunny  dragging  him  towards  the  ferris  wheel  ,  he  would  be  a  brave  motherfucker  and  it  would  be  over  before  the  blink  of  an  eye  .  they  were  quick  right  ?  they  had  to  be  —  what  was  even  the  point  of  them  anyways  ?  if  he  wanted  to  ‘  see  the  view  ’  or  whatever  he  would  go  to  the  top  floor  of  revolution  records  and  look  .  so  really  ,  there  was  no  point  ,  but  hey  was  still  in  line  despite  all  his  grievances  with  it  .  
when  it  came  time  for  the  duo’s  turn  ,  he  stepped  up  first  ,  having  been  completely  engrossed  in  the  conversation  he  was  having  with  his  best  friend  to  not  notice  the  ride  operator  shoving  him  forward  ,  but  leaving  sunny  behind  .  before  he  could  even  protest  that  he  was  not  with  his  group  ,  the  ride  operator  said  some  bullshit  about  how  no  one  could  be  a  single  rider  ,  so  whoever  was  standing  in  line  alone  before  them  was  going  to  be  his  new  enemy  .  jonnie  was  going  to  let  them  know  too  ,  with  himself  fastened  into  the  little  carriage  ,  he  turned  to  voice  his  not  very  nice  opinions  before  noticing  who  it  was  .  rory  .  his  mouth  instantly  closing  up  as  he  gulped  ,  “  um  ,  hi  .  ”  what  a  weak  thing  to  say  ,  “  funny  seeing  you  here  ?  ”  was  it  really  ?

there  was  something  about  carrying  freshly  spun,  bright  pink  coloured  cotton  candy  twice  the  size  of  her  head  that  brought  out  an  unprecedented  joy  in  rory    —    nostalgia  perhaps,  although  the  giddy  smile  plastered  onto  her  features  could  likely  be  at  least  partially  attributed  to  the  ensuing  sugar  rush.    “  it  feels  like  i'm  living  my  eight  year  old  self's  dream,  ”    words  slipping  past  her  lips  in  a  sigh,  as  she  reached  to  hook  her  free  arm  through  that  of  her  companion,    “  i  mean,  cotton  candy?  check.  carnival  games?  check.  ”    brown  hues  traveled  around  the  space  absentmindedly  as  her  and  beyza  strolled  along  the  event  space.  at  least  until  a  certain  sight  halted  her  step  abruptly.    “  aw,  ring  toss  is  my  absolute  favourite.  we  have  to  play!  ”

with  eyes  glued  to  the  pages  of  her  book,  and  the  mere  indication  of  company  being  footsteps,  surprise  understated  the  feeling  that  came  over  her  upon  seeing  jonnie.  for  months  upon  months,  she  had  erased  his  existence  from  her  memory    —    their  previous  time  together  locked  away  in  a  box,  stuffed  in  the  periphery  of  her  thoughts,  key  lost  within  the  whirlwind  that  was  her  mind.  and  she  had  played  that  game  successfully  until  now.  coming  face  to  face  with  him  was  a  foolproof  reminder  of  the  fact  that  jonnie  was  real,  and  even  though  he  preferred  to  deny  it,  whatever  had  been  ongoing  between  them  was  real  too. “  there’s  nothing  wrong  with  cliche,  ”    she  interjected,  attempting  to  stifle  the  mix  of  bewilderment  and  uneasiness  between  them,    “  it  simply  means  it  resonates  with  a  lot  of  people    —    that’s  not  necessarily  something  bad.  ”    shoulders  raised  into  a  faint  shrug,  finding  that  especially  when  it  came  to  such  matters  of  the  heart,  she  loved  every  cliche  in  the  book.  red  roses,  love  letters  and  unexpected  grand  gestures.  because  after  all,  wasn’t  the  desire  to  feel  loved  and  appreciated  purely  human?  but  jonnie  knew  her  well  enough  to  know  how  she  felt  about  such  things.    “  but  luckily  for  you,  i  think  there  may  just  be  a  slight  difference  in  how  the  real  world  works  opposed  to  books.  ”

to  say  jonnie  was  shocked  to  come  across  rory  for  the  first  time  at  revolution  was  an  understatement  .  he  was  more  than  shocked  ,  terrified  even  considering  how  he  left  things  between  them  before  .  really  ,  the  minute  he  fled  he  expected  to  never  see  her  again  .  actually  ,  it  was  his  goal  to  never  see  her  again  .  that  way  he  wouldn't  have  to  deal  with  whatever  it  was  that  he  was  feeling  towards  her  ,  things  were  too  real  and  when  they're  too  real  jonnie  can't  do  anything  but  run  away  .  it's  how  he  lived  his  life  and  back  then  ,  it  felt  like  he  couldn't  do  anything  else  .  the  minute  they  came  in  contact  ,  he  did  his  best  to  avoid  her  ,  but  he  couldn't  have  everything  all  the  time  now  could  he  ?
genuinely  he  hadn't  seen  her  when  he  was  walking  ,  eyes  glued  to  his  phone  and  taking  his  ass  to  the  break  room  because  if  he  didn't  get  something  to  eat  soon  he  was  gonna  turn  into  a  gremlin  .  the  minute  he  heard  her  voice  ,  his  eyes  shoot  up  from  the  screen  ,  contemplating  whether  or  not  to  back  slowly  out  the  room  ,  but  that  feels  even  more  cowardly  than  how  he  ended  things  between  them  .  instead  he  puts  on  the  face  he  does  to  everyone  else  ,  “  i  don’t  think  i  have  much  to  say  on  that  front  ,  i  don’t  feel  like  i  was  written  by  a  woman  …  i  mean  clearly  from  what  you’re  saying  .  feels  cliche  ,  doesn’t  it  ?  ”

it  must’ve  been  hours  upon  hours  that  rory  had  spent  locked  away  inside  one  of  the  practice  rooms  within  the  revolution  headquarters    —    simply  tapping  away  at  one  of  the  pianos,  in  search  of  the  right  melody  while  she  scribbled  out  earlier  attempts  on  her  notepad.  she  was  in  dire  need  of  fresh  air,  perhaps  the  sensation  of  sunlight  coming  through  a  window,  and  most  of  all  something  to  still  the  munchies.  hands  clung  onto  one  of  the  bags  of  crisps  she  snuck  out  of  the  cafeteria,  as  she  found  her  route  back  interrupted  by  a  greeting.    “  do  i  know  anything    —    oh,  romeo,  romeo,  wherefore  art  thou  romeo?  ”      she  instantly  broke  into  a  dramatic  performance  of  the  tragedy,    “  what’s  got  you  asking?  ”    curious  eyes  then  peeked  over  at  the  brunette,  as  she  popped  open  the  bag  of  snacks  to  pop  a  chip  in  her  mouth  before  holding out the  bag  to  her  companion.

there  table  before  her  is  filled  with  pages  and  pages  of  a  deconstructed  script.  usually  she  prepared for auditions  on  the  subway  or  in  the  privacy  of  her  room.  but  the  chaos  of  the  past  few  days  took  away  any  extra  time  she  needed  to  rehearse. and  the  audition  is  just  hours  away. brooklyn couldn't  be  further  from  prepared.  hunched  over  one  page  in  particular,  brook  mumbles  under  her  breath  as  she  read  the  lines  repeatedly  to  herself.  "hey  -  "  she  says,  flagging  down  the  person  that  nearly  zips  past  her  table.  "  do  you  know  anything  about  shakespeare?  i  mean  anything,  i'm  desperate.  "

chocolate  hues  were  fixated  upon  the  pages  of  the  novel  that  laid  spread  across  her  lap,  all  while  legs  dangled  over  the  arm  rest  of  the  comfortable  chair  she  occupied  within  the  break  room  on  the  fourth  floor.  the  sound  of  footsteps  across  wooden  floors  announced  the  appearance  of  company,  but  her  first  response  was  to  raise  her  index  finger  in  their  direction    —   finger  hovering  in  mid  air  in  attempt  to  stall  their  business.    “  shhh,  ”    she  even  added,  the  moment  she  could  hear  the  first  tones  escaping  their  lips,    “  you’re  interrupting  the  best  part.  ”    free  hand  continued  tracing  the  sentences  on  the  page  with  the  pad  of  her  finger,  as  eyes  shot  back  and  forth  across  the  pages,  ending  with  a  deep  sigh  as  she  finished  the  page.    “  you  pierce  my  soul,  ”    she  began  quoting  from  the  pages  of  the  novel  persuasion,  voice  dripping  in  dreamy  tone,    “  i  am  half  agony,  half  hope.  i  have  loved  none  but  you.  ”    the  finished  quote  finally  marked  the  moment  rory  tilted  her  head  backwards,  gazing  over  upon  the  figure  standing  beside  her.    “  don’t  you  agree  there’s  just  something  indescribably  sexy  about  fictional  men  written  by  women?  yes  please,  write  me  love  letters,  devote  your  entire  life  to  me.  i’ll  be  gentle  with  your  heart.  ”    despite  the  quite  obvious  hint  of  exaggerated  sarcasm  in  her  tone,  none  of  those  words  were  far  from  the  honest  truth.

♡     ◞       jennie kim.   twenty-five.   cis woman.   she/her.⠀⠀⠀—        hold your f*** horses !  lorelai “rory” hyun   has just been spotted walking into revolution headquarters. they are best known for being a   bedroom pop singer & songwriter   and have been signed with the label for   two months.   they share a lot of interesting things about life in the music industry on their social media, so make sure you don’t forget to follow them at   @literory.  fans know them for being   melodramatic   but swear they’ve got a   gregarious   side as well. maybe that explains why they’re always associated with   the feeling of butterflies in the pit of your stomach, bookmarks peeking out of stacks of literature, too many unopened social media notifications.   stan twitter even voted them most likely to   write an entire album about their celebrity crush.   we’ll see how they live up to that reputation.
♡     ◞        statistics.
full  name:  lorelai hyun. nickname:  both personally and professionally goes by rory, addressing her by lorelai will possibly get you some strange looks. date  of  birth:  june 7th, 1997 (25 yrs). zodiac  sign:  gemini. place  of  birth:  tacoma, washington. current  location:  new york city, new york. gender:  cis woman, uses she / her pronouns. sexuality:  bisexual. languages:  english (native), korean (native).
♡     ◞        bits and bops.
character  tropes:  the quixotic, the hopeless romantic, the paracosmist. traits:  gregarious, melodramatic, idealistic, sensitive, chaotic. habits:  endlessly daydreaming, being just a couple minutes late to everything, living deadline to deadline, always talking just a little too much, reading five books at the same time, sticking her tongue out a little when she’s deep in thought. likes:  valentine’s day, romantic comedies, the colour pink, scented candles, reading, thrifting clothes, vanilla flavoured things, sticky notes, public displays of affection, handwritten cards, snow, roses and peonies, shiny lipgloss, snow globes, coffee, her own book collection. dislikes:  heat and humidity, awkward silences, people making dog ears in their books, heartbreak, being alone, long queues, cooking, spoiling the endings of books, heights. notable  skills:  knowing the opening lines of books by heart, sewing her own clothes, matchmaking, can copy people’s handwriting perfectly.
♡     ◞        background.
lorelai hyun was born to philip  &  hana hyun, respectively an avid outdoor enthousiast who worked as a carpenter, and a workaholic news reporter for the local tv station. she was born and raised in tacoma, washington  &  early childhood memories are filled to the brim with fond memories of family trips to mount rainier national park and the whole family building snowmen in their front yard during icy winters and yelling at her father to push faster on the swings at their nearest playground. likely because she would rather let those memories overshadow the deafening fights she would overheard late at night   —   yelled accusations thrown back and forth, even audible over the sheets she would pull over her face to hide underneath. or perhaps the countless of cancelled family activities because her mom needed to work late to finish another last minute deadline, to which her father would curse under his breath and send her to bed hours early, setting aside a plate of homemade dinner in the fridge. her parents divorced when she was around seven years old. consider it the inevitable result of two people falling out of love and being absolutely  unable  to keep up the facade any longer. god knows they couldn’t even fool a seven year old. the two of them agreed to share custody  &  stayed on rather friendly terms, though rory stayed with her mom for the majority of the school year. after all, hana planned on staying in tacoma for her job whereas philip considered the divorce his prime time to spread his wings and hop between cities all throughout the west coast in search of   —   well, rory never really knew what he was looking for, only that he seemed happier. it wasn’t much longer than two years after the divorce that both of her parents seemed to have found love again  &  each entered a whole new honeymoon phase. philip met a travel agent from san francisco while staying in the area  &  meeting daniel westbrook caused a change of heart regarding that job hopping and moving city to city. he settled down with him in his apartment in the city, where he seemed quite willing to stay for the foreseeable future. the two of them chose to have no kids together, seizing the opportunity to travel together for most of the year. but the two of them never once forgot to send a postcard for rory all the way to washington from wherever it was they visited. hana fell head over heels in love with cole massey, a big shot commercial lawyer from seattle, with the wish to settle down and have his own family to come home to every night. it seemed hana sought similar warmth as she didn’t waste a minute having her second shot at the  picture perfect  family life. packing both their bags, mom  &  rory left their two bedroom apartment in the city centre of tacoma towards a a four bedroom home in the outskirts of seattle. although those two empty bedrooms wouldn’t stay empty for particularly long. hana got pregnant only months after the two started dating  &  the revelation sped up the process of marriage and becoming a family even more so. the once workaholic quit her job as a news reporter, allowing her to be a stay at home mother to the pair of twins   —   lainey  &  logan. the two new borns were the new subject of her affection, two adorable chubby babies to coo at and take care of in her new found spare time. entirely caught up in the world of adorable baby clothes, becoming one of the most active mommy volunteers at primary school and planning play dates with the other moms in the neighbourhood. she no longer needed rory to fulfill her desires of being a mother, no longer depended on her to do chores around the house and no longer was she the only person she could turn to for some family downtime. and rory no longer needed her. at least, technically she didn’t. she was supposed to be able to take care of herself  &  that simple fact seemed enough for both parents to divert most of their attention towards the two dependable little ones. as much as she needed them, she didn’t complain. how does one compete for attention with two little kids, anyway? the situation at home in seattle made her all the more appreciative of the holidays spent in company of her father  &  his new boyfriend. southern california seemed to be a dream, summer holidays spent reading her favourite books from the window sill looking out over the city  &  catching endless rays of sunshine while dipping her toes in the sand, or driving towards yosemite national park for camping trips. those being some of her happiest memories must’ve contributed to her choice to accept the offer she received from stanford, where she majored in english  &  focused on a mix of literature and creative writing. although she diligently spent her freshman year with her nose in the books, hardcore study nights in her dorm quickly turned into giving into her whims  &  wasting away too many hours staring at the social media applications on her phone screen. although she was always fairly present on most platforms, during college she began dipping into the art of writing small snippets of songs  &  posting them to her tiktok account. one video turned into ten, and ten might’ve turned into hundreds of joke songs, songs about her class materials, songs about prompts her followers sent her, love songs about her celebrity crushes and whatever else was burning inside her mind. it was one single viral video on tiktok that caught the attention of revolution records in her senior year  &  after tossing her cap into the air at graduation, she packed her bags and flew to new york city to sign the contract she was offered. she wasn’t entirely sure what they saw in her, and to be quite frank, she still doesn’t. but with songwriting having turned into such a huge part of her life  &  such potential to dip into, she can’t help wanting to give it a shot.
♡     ◞        personality.
absolute biggest  hopeless romantic  you’ve ever seen   —   falls in love at least five times a day. will fall in love with you if you were nice to her in a dream once. will want to kiss you if you hold open the door for her. you would think your parents getting divorced would really change someone, but she got to see them in love not just once but twice. seeing both her parents go through the honeymoon phase with their respective partners as a kid, she has been daydreaming about a high school sweetheart, promposals and even her wedding dress since she was eight years old. the most  book smart  person you’ll meet but cannot be trusted with her own life. will easily write you a four thousand word essay, doing an intersectional analysis of americanah but don’t ask her to use the stove without burning spaghetti and don’t ask her to file her taxes or make a doctor’s appointment. she gets quite easily overwhelmed with reality sometimes. huge  social butterfly  and gets super energized having people around. unluckily for everyone else, rory doesn’t know when to shut her mouth  &  isn’t the best at reading social cues. she will run her mouth for half an hour only to look at your face and stop in her tracks to ask you if you find her annoying. and then continue to ramble on and on about how she’s sorry. she feels fiercely, has so many emotions to deal with in her tiny body and only has  unhealthy coping mechanisms.  living under extreme stress because of work deadlines? sounds like you’ll be living off coffee until the caffeine makes your soul dissociate from your body. found out someone you fell in love with overnight doesn’t even know your name? sounds like a grand time to get drunk with your girlfriends and fall in love with the first pretty person that talks to you at the bar instead. someone not responding to your text for like five minutes? time for a mental breakdown and convincing yourself they find you a pain and don’t want to talk to you anymore. minor problems just easily turn into unsolvable disasters. this girl absolutely craves  validation.  maybe because she couldn’t ever really find it with her mother, she started looking for it elsewhere. all of her friends, the neighbours, the grocery store cashier who threw her a thankful smile for having the spare change ready to pay for her $2,45 purchase. her favourite drug was her english professors praising her writing, and she is chasing that high ever since   —   renee carlisle giving her any attention is the next drug on her list. literal definition of a  book worm.  eats through books like a maniac. reading felt like the escape from the chaos of her home  &  the whining cries of her younger siblings. she got so caught up in fantasy worlds and brave female characters and overly romanticized men. even now, rory is likely reading at least five books at the same time at any point in her life. she has needed to buy more bookcases to find room for them and that really gets cramped in her new york city apartment. equally a bit of an  amateur writer.  she took quite some creative writing classes  &  definitely spends her spare time writing whatever universes continue to live in her head. as a teenager, she started out writing fiction  &  i definitely imagine she had a soft spot for awful romance books. where she fell in love with the fictional characters in her head at least once or twice. little bit like jane the virgin? would probably settle to write one of those romancey smut books you buy at the gas station for $10 because she would be great at it. but i am thinking she dabbled more into songwriting during college. she knows how to play the piano just a bit  &  she would’ve had a keyboard there to kinda continue learning and she would dabble more and more into writing to music. which eventually, as you read, turned into her big break. i imagine her videos are very similar to  jax writes songs  on tiktok, but she also does some other stuff. would ask her followers for prompts to write music to all the time. i am even imagining she did this little series where followers could send her a story about their crush and she would write  &  sing a little song about them to kinda help these people tell their crush they liked them, all very very cute. but also joke videos, like i am imagining she would’ve written whole ass love songs only to pan the video towards her laptop screen where she’s playing the sims and it ends on one of those  and it was all a simulation  plot twists. like just loads of very casual but funny music videos. that she’s definitely not stopping now.
♡     ◞        plots.  
i actually made a blog for wanted connections  &  you can find it at  @literory.  definitely check that out first  &  foremost, because that’ll include a lot of ideas i have and they’ll be heavily based on those dskjdfks. just tons of little thoughts. but down below there’s also a few other ideas ! roommates  ( rory lives in new york city now, but she literally makes jack shit with music as she’s just been signed, so it would be adorable to live with someone else for the time being ), all of her unrequited loves, that one  ( 1 )  person she can’t get out of her mind and who she may have written countless of songs about, pen pals who met as kids and stayed in touch through handwritten postcards, book club please for the love of god, that one ( 1 )  person she has friendzoned and have to watch her fall in love with all these people who are bad for her while they swear maybe the two of them could be something good, frenemies, major celebrity crush she can’t hide while they bump into each other in headquarters, someone to be the mom / dad friend she didn’t know she needed, mentor figure in the music industry, fake dating pr stunt  ( perhaps to help both their lovey dovey or breakup albums sell better ), online celebrity feuds, exes who run into each other again after a long time, and honestly many more ideas that’ll come up during brainstorming  <3
