How to Win at Love

Kim Chaewon, is quietly nursing a massive crush on her coworker, Huh Yunjin. When Yunjin accidentally sends an email asking someone out to the entire office, everyone wants to know who it's for... Is it just wishful thinking - or was the email for Chaewon?

After the disbandment of IZ*ONE, Kim Chaewon goes on to audition for a new group. She meets Huh Yunjin, who used to be her sworn nemesis turned hallway crush: but has quickly accepted her role as Chaewon's best friend. As the years pass, Chaewon's feelings towards her loveable, energetic best friend only grow: until one day, she has to admit that she is in love with her best friend, Huh Yunjin. But surely they could stay friends, right? Until one drunken night, things take a completely different turn. [PURINZ, LE SSERAFIM, MULTI-GROUP -- Mature] * It was just the touch of a hand, and they'd held hands a million times before; yet as Chaewon looked up to finally and properly meet her eyes, Yunjin forgot how to function. Chaewon's eyes were big, brown and full of everything Yunjin held dear. Her mouth was slightly parted, and her eyebrows furrowed in curiosity. Her eyes flickered down to their hands, and back up again- but Yunjin's eyes lingered on Chaewon's lips, and the shimmer of her teeth. Her face grew hotter and hotter until she had to tear her eyes off her best friend. Instead, she stared at her phone on the table and tightened her grip on Chaewon's hand. "Are you okay?" She heard her best friend's soft voice beside her. Yunjin didn't dare look back in fear of her eyes wandering off again. "I'm fine," She replied in a whisper. She wasn't sure if that was true.

Kim Chaewon, who's stuck in a boring routine until she decides to take a part-time babysitting gig to shake things up. What starts as a simple distraction turns into something more when she meets Yunjin, the older sister of the little girl she's babysitting. Yunjin is beautiful, a bit cold, and definitely catches Chaewon's attention, but Chaewon isn't sure if it's just a one-sided crush or if Yunjin feels anything too. As the days go by, things get a little more complicated, and Chaewon can't help but feel like she's falling... quietly.

In a city, show the contrasting lives of two young women, Yunjin, a reserved girl who lives at the 'poor' side of town, and Chaewon, a lively girl with a charming personality who lives comfortably at the 'rich' side of town, coincidentally meets Yunjin at a restaurant across the area she volunteered to work at with friends. Wherein they both bonded over a simple hot chocolate. -------- ― beautiful. there's flecks of stardust within your irises, and gold within your veins. hope blossoms from the place within your chest where sunlight has been granted access to, and blooming roses have taken root. white petals spread open, a green stem's cry of beauty to the world that surrounds it. but white is soon tainted with red; ― red from the wounds that are located in all the places that you would never allow the world to see. but i assure you, you are no less beautiful today than you will be tomorrow, and your type of beauty does not fade with given time. it defies the test of such, lasting long after those around you have faded. all the makeup in the world cannot fix an ugly inside, and that pure, white rose you thought to be tainted with sin, has now grown forth into a garden; ― granting you the kind of beauty that money could never buy. 🥇#1 in purinz (5/5/25)

Chaewon and Yunjin have been friends for as long as they can remember. They redebuted in Le Serrafim together: ever since, they grew closer and closer. Until one day, they realise that their friendship has grown into something more. Together, they try to navigate these new feelings as they have to keep up with their idol life. (PURINZ, PETALZ & WINRINA, original story) • Yunjin raised her eyebrows. "You don't even know her well." She argued. "We were in a group together, Yunjin, I think I know her pretty well." Chaewon snapped as she crossed her arms. Yunjin still hasn't let go of her. "You can't just-" "What do you care?" The blonde's anger took over. "Have you been watching me?" Yunjin's cheeks flushed. "You're my best friend, I'm supposed to care." She shot back. "Well, you've done a good job ruining it." Chaewon tried to force Yunjin's hands off. It was to no avail: the redhead only gripped her tighter. "Dance with me." She spoke as she stared at Chaewon, studying every detail of her face. Suddenly, all the anger seemed to dissipate when Chaewon looked back into Yunjin's dark eyes. She was severely wasted, hot, and her mind was all over the place; but Yunjin was her constant. She hated how Yunjin filled her chest with a warmth she couldn't explain. And she hated that she couldn't just keep being angry. But she loved Huh Yunjin. Which was something she'd never admit while sober.

"So, who's Chaewon murdering today?" Kazuha asks, eyes flicking to the prefects' table where Kim Chaewon sits, posture perfect, expression unreadable. "Probably her own libido," Yunjin fires back. "I bet she's never even thought about sex. She's like celibacy, but make it Prada." Sakura chokes on her orange juice. "She's got to be into something. Maybe girls. Maybe she gets off on confiscating lip gloss." Eunchae's eyes go wide. "Do you think she's ever...you know..." She makes a vague, deeply unhelpful gesture under the table. "Touched herself? Eunchae, she probably does it with gloves on so she doesn't leave fingerprints," Yunjin deadpans. The table erupts. Sakura leans in. "Let's make it interesting. Five bucks says no one can get Chaewon to crack. Ten if you catch her checking you out, Yunjin." "Oh, please." Yunjin grins, flicking her hair. "She probably thinks boobs are a myth. But fine, I'll play." An original work.
