CHIHYE ✷ YOUNG-IL

PERSONALITY.
"I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror." Chihye understands fear more than most people, but ironically, she seems to have the least. She has a quiet acceptance in her demeanor, yet a lingering regret over things left undone or unsaid. She holds a quiet strength, reluctant to burden others with her suffering, but there's a subtle vulnerability that surfaces when they lets her guard down. Obsessed with meteorology, she often speaks of clouds, winds, and the changing weather patterns as if they were old friends, finding meaning in their rhythms and chaos. Her love for the skies is both a source of solace and distraction, a way to make sense of the uncontrollable forces in her own life. Even though she accepts that death is out to get her, she nonetheless wants to escape it and buy as much time as she can, because truthfully she hasn't given up on life yet, fearing that there's still things she wants to accomplish.

MEMORABLE RELATIONSHIPS.
✷ JUNG HA-YOON was an unexpected light to her darkness. She was drawn to her because of how loving and positive she was, and they formed a truly meaningful friendship. Ha-Yoon would give her some of her food during meal time, even when Chihye would always refuse. She stuck by her till the very end and was the first person to discover that she had passed away in her sleep.
✷ SEONG GI-HUN , the 'un-Seong' hero as Chihye referred to him. She thought that he was insane when he was shouting at people to not move during red light green light. After the first game, she trusted his word in everything, sensing that he had been there before. Chihye never turned against him and put her faith in him leading up to the riot, even if she never got to see to the end.
✷ KIM JUN-HEE was very doted on by Chihye (even if Chihye herself hates when people do the same for her). She would give her a share of her food and offer to do favors for her even if she herself wasn't in the correct condition to be doing so. They bonded over being doted on by the group.
BACKSTORY.
Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars. Chihye's first core memory from her childhood was staring at the blue sky above her, and standing outside in the rain until she caught a flu. The world around her fascinated her beyond measure, and when she graduated high school, she worked towards her life-long dream of studying meteorology, even spending a few years in the United States, which is where she met her former husband. Years of pure peace later, and Chihye found herself collapsed on the floor of the news station bathroom, which prompted a haste-filled trip to the hospital where she was diagnosed with severe heart failure, and it was a domino effect from there. Out of a job and a marriage, she fell into the worst state imaginable, with her only hope being a heart transplant that she knew she couldn't afford. With her life in money's hands, she needed an outlet to get it.

❛ I promise, I'm fine. ❜
❛ Come on, you need to eat. Besides, carbs are good for the heart, no? ❜

LOVE LANGAUGE.
✷ Words of affirmation — Chihye
✷ Acts of service — Young-Il / In-Ho
WHO FELL FIRST.
In-Ho... but he never recognized it as that. She reminded him of his wife that he lost; the person he nearly sacrificed everything for. Chihye gave him something new and something to protect, even though he knew how things would end.
HEADCANONS.
✷ He caught a glimpse of her across the room after the first game during the voting. She was catching her breath and sitting on one of the beds. Afterwards, he went up to her during meal time and offered her his drink, insisting that she takes it.
✷ He pretended to specialize in studies related to the heart so that he had an excuse to be around her.
✷ He would be on high alert during the night, taking in the sounds of her breathing, and measuring how long each one was delayed. Their beds were right beside each others, so her presence was unavoidable.
✷ He would revel in her voice when she would talk about being a meteorologist. He would ask her questions just for the sake of distracting her from her own discomfort.
✷ He would give up his one pillow to her during the night to ensure that her head was leveled while she slept.
✷ During the mingle game, he stuck with her the entire time. Towards the end, he practically had to carry her to the final room because she was having trouble breathing and felt as if she might collapse.
✷ Instead of Jung-Bae, it was her in the room where he snapped the guys neck </33
✷ She died after the mingle game when the riot started, and Ha-Yoon announcing her death over the walkie talkie— combined with the stress of being revealed, made him end the whole thing altogether and switch sides again.

CHIHYE ✷ YOUNG-IL / IN-HO

HEADCANONS.
✷ Much exertion can cause her defibrillator to shock her heart to restore it to a normal rhythm. It often feels like a strong punch to her chest and causes her immense pain for a few minutes.
✷ Chihye knew that she was going to die in the games after the first one. It didn't matter whether she voted to leave or stay; death was inevitable... but she chose to stay for the first two votes because she wanted to not be alone if she were to die in the games.
✷ She checked herself out of the hospital despite her condition to attend the games. It was a long and tedious conversation with her doctor about it.

QUOTES.
"It's just that... when you die, you don't think about whats above you, just as you live looking at what's in front of you... never looking up. People never ask why the sky is blue, or why the rain shifts, or why tsunamis form on the off season. It's just an occurrence. It's not something to think about, really. When I would announce the weather forecast, I felt like I knew something that others didn't. It was my own little secret... something I could understand for myself. I could look at the sky and not hate the rain, I could stare at the sun and not squint. I never saw an aurora, though. I would watch forecasts from Tromsø, to Fairbanks, to Idaho... and see those lights, and they were beautiful. They got me through my worse days. Yeah, that's why I want to live... to see those lights." - To Young-Il / In-Ho.
"Half of your beautiful heart is not worth wasting on someone like me, blossom." - To Ha-Yoon.

❛ I don't mean any disrespect towards you, but.. your Gods seem to be unreliable. You said that they abandoned you, yet here you are... alive. I think that's something to be thankful for, yes? ❜
