tw: death of a family member.

enter 4 year old jimin who adores her newly introduced younger brother. she had sworn from that day that she would show him her favorite toys, the strawberry candies that she cherished so dearly, the best way to convince mom and dad to buy something -- everything. her younger brother was everything right in the world, a sweet beacon of hope in the tumultuous years of blooming maturity. he was always uplifting, always the one to put a smile on her face. at the age of 8, her brother falls terminally ill. there wasn't time to wonder the next course of medical steps, there wasn't time to apologize for every single time she'd gotten upset with him.

two weeks flew by, each day bleaker and bleaker until jimin had come to terms with the fact that her baby brother had passed. nothing was quite the same after that. her family, though they had grieved, held forced smiles and tensed atmospheres like it was their second nature.

she couldn't take it anymore. jimin moved out to the city to pursue her education, to distract herself with productivity and a new environment. although she had always seen herself as curating pieces in contemporary art museums, that never truly did come to fruition. a spontaneous visit back home drew her back to dandelion, her pursuit of a future in art dissolving once she had felt the warm embrace of her parents who had never quite recovered from having to bury their son.

for now, karina lives on her own in a cozy one bedroom apartment, but spends most of her time in the studio. she enjoys her day to day, departing for work early in the morning to create new pieces and offer classes to the locals. although she feels her future is hazy, and although there'll always be a worry about whether or not she'll be successful and happy in the future, she tries to live in the moment. keeping busy and enjoying the little moments are her goals and she plans to stick to them to the best of her ability. karina doesn't do much outside of work, but she enjoys the occasional night in or out. always one to take advantage of free time, karina will turn on some television, learn a new hobby, watch dramas, cry over movies, anything that'll take her out of her work-focused mind and the longing for new relationships to fill the loss she previously endured.

status: single.
orientation: heterosexual.
unsure if looking.
love language: touch, quality time.
ideal type: someone a bit goofy, but still mature when the situation calls for it. someone who knows how to take care of themselves (and her, when necessary), someone who knows how to be independent, someone who wouldn't put her in front of their lifelong goals, someone patient, someone who gives really nice, warm hugs.

i may lose muse for threads, at which point i will be upfront with you. i value my time (and yours) and energy too much to dance around replies. please do not take it personally, my muse comes and goes. i expect you to do the same if you lose interest for our thread. do not waste our time.

returning to her homeland felt like a breath of fresh air, something to finally set her in her place, to ground her. she took her dark history and produced something beautiful, children's books that she takes incredible pride in. and although they may not be her first source of income, or they may not be plentiful, or widely read, she's proud of the message that they convey. the books were a way for karina to cope with the stress of situating herself in seoul, to take her away to faraway lands in the depths of her imagination. it stripped away the worries of the world, where the stress of finding an apartment, finding a job, finding new friends, bogged down her mind.

and although she hasn't published another book in quite a while in lieu of running her cafe, she still cherishes each and every one.

karina's quiet--she likes to enjoy the atmosphere rather than contribute to the loudness. the smiles on the faces of her few friends bring her far more joy than speaking herself. she's quite shy, although she does want to branch out and find more friends. she's more in tune with her wheel, always turning to ceramics and pottery when her mind and heart are troubled. once approached, she'll warm up steadily. it takes time for her to feel attached, but her heart is in the right place. speak to her on one of her passions and she won't shut up, but she'll always be intrigued and invested in listening to another person's interests.
