I am a writer, a coffee addict, and born to be a fangirl.
I love CNBLUE, EXO, chocolates, samgyupsal, lasagna, seasoned spring onions, cabernet sauvignon, kimchi soup, mini dresses, pink things, Kdramas, Jung Yonghwa, Kim Junmyeon, and Kim Soohyun.
I dislike pathological liars, cheaters, and thieves.
