background;;
   yichao was born to a middle class family in the chinese city qiqihar, on the first day of winter in 1994. his mother, lifen, worked as a science technician at his school and his father, wenjin, worked in the chinese branch of an american company. he lived a peaceful life, and made a few friends, playing football in his spare time. he loved qiqihar as it was a massive city and he loved adventures: he'd usually wander off with his friends and worry his parents sick.
   when he reached the age of 10, in 2004, his family moved to khabarovsk, russia, in order to have more than one child. his father transferred branches and his mother worked at another school, fortunately not the one he attended. his younger sister daria zhan was born in early 2005 - he specifically remembers trying to make her first words to be "get bent". he spent a lot of time writing short stories and pinning them on his wall, and would get freaked out when anyone asked what they were about. he found writing about the new city very interesting, and sometimes he'd even wander out to unknown places for inspiration.
   being a foreigner, yichao didn't know much russian to begin with. he gradually picked up russian phrases and got himself the nickname "Декабрь" (dekabr), which means "december". when asked to introduce himself, he said, "я йишао, я мальчик декабря" which means "i am yichao, i am december".
   he made friends with the only other chinese person in the class; adrien. adrien taught him russian after school and they became best friends pretty quickly. they often spoke in chinese to each other, and it became some kind of code they used in class - mainly to tell each other the answers in math.
   the two of them graduated at 16 together, and yichao attended beijing film academy. his first group project included writing a script, and being interested in writing, he agreed. he sat on a table at starbucks, with his macbook, listening to music for inspiration while he sipped his pumpkin spice. a few hours later, when he was just about to leave, someone started a conversation with him: she gave him her business card and left, just as he noticed the card said BIGHIT.
   whether he should audition or not was a debate, but his friends made a huge deal out of it, by telling everyone he'd become the next rain. he enjoyed this attention a lot, and didn't want it to end: but it did eventually, because he kept stalling the audition. so, shortly after his seventeenth birthday, he auditioned for bighit by performing car radio by twenty one pilots, and was accepted a few months later.
   he was determined to finish college, so his trainee days didn't start fully until he turned 19. he often spent his days practising, and flirting with every female trainee, and making bets with his friends about how many of them he could kiss. he didn't really take training seriously, until he was told a new boy group was being formed, and then he went into what he liked to call maximum overdrive, where he slept two hours a day and danced until he passed out. when he heard the news of debut, he cried and hugged the ceo, even though he was told not to.

personality;;
   yang yichao is what you would call a natural leader: it's easy for him to take charge in situations, even when it's none of his business. it's normal for him to make a plan, present it, and say firmly, "this is the way we're going to do it", regardless of how far-fetched his ideas are. no matter how much you don't like the way he wants things to be, his smooth communication skills and subtle persuasions will have the whole group agreeing with him. this usually pisses off anyone who had the authority in the first place.
   despite this, if anyone else is giving orders, he's not gonna follow them. no way. expect to get interrupted, pranked on and generally roasted so hard you won't be able to sit down.
   he's proved himself as a useful tool, not only as an imposter leader but as a communicator. his knowledge in mandarin, russian and english can prove helpful when tackling foreigners, like when he persuaded a chinese security guard to let them inside the building. despite this, you'll never find him doing the talking when faced with koreans; he leaves it up to everyone else to do the work.
   he can also be a bit hot-tempered at times, even if you haven't done anything wrong. you can tell he's in a mood when he sits down, crosses his arms and won't reply to anything. this kind of behaviour happens several times a week, and the rest of the members have accepted this as some kind of weekly routine. god help you if it happens in public; you'll be greeted with instructions in the form of high-pitched shouting, and if he needs you to go anywhere, he'll take you by the arm sharply and simply drag you.
   occasionally, these emotions will spiral out of control. when this happens, it's best to shove him in his room and leave him alone. eventually, he'll fall asleep no matter what the time is. this usually happens after he throws all the feathers from his pillow around the room, realises he's going too far, and decides to take a nap on the floor. that also means the room is occupied for the next 12 hours, so his roommate is forced to sleep in the living room.
   he's also a major hypocrite. you leave things to the last minute? you'll get shouted at. if he leaves things to the last minute, it's because he's stressed, he's got a lot of things on his mind and you can shut your mouth promptly. you say something incriminating on public tv? he'll sit you down and lecture you. if he does it? it wasn't his fault, let it go. if you drop your ice cream, shut the fuck up, it's just an ice cream. if he drops his ice cream, the world must stop what they're doing and get him  a new one immediately. living with yichao is like living with a giant baby.
   he also refuses to admit when he's wrong, most of the time. he will churn out tons of excuses just so you can't get a word in edgeways, make a loud noise and sit in another room to "think things through". he accepts that he's problematic, but makes no move to change his behaviour.
   all of the above means he's basically a walking meme for the fans, who often refer to him as 'no chill chao'. airport previews of blackout pose as new material for yichao memes, as it's possible to compare his green hair and orange jacket to a carrot. him always running into things on reality shows doesn't help his case either. he pretends not to be bothered by the memes, but secretly has them saved to his phone, and he likes to look at them when he's sad.
   he also goes out of his way to embarrass others, like when he was on skype with his sister, giving her a tour of the dorm, and said very loudly, "whoever that is touching yourself in the bathroom, i can hear you!" in reality, all the other members were in the living room, and yichao had to climb out the window in order not to get hit. it's been said that he enjoys laughing at others so when others laugh at him, he feels good about it.
   basically, yichao causes a load of shit to happen, a quality he shares with the maknae. this can cause others to keep ill impressions of him, which he doesn't care about, because "i'm yichao, bitch!"
   when in the company of girls, he's well aware of them, and goes the extra mile just to look eligible. he'll often flirt with them jokingly, comment on people walking by, and generally act like a rich hoe, who's good looking and knows it very well. this kind of behaviour only happens with girls, and it's very entertaining to watch him like that.
   those who don't know yichao see him as serious and straightforward. it's hard not to agree with that when in public, he's usually sitting with his legs crossed, wearing sunglasses, sipping a starbucks with no expression on his face. he doesn't make much noise in front of people he doesn't know, preferring to communicate using eye and body language (if that's even possible). he's the type of guy you don't want to sit next to on the bus, because you're intimidated by his unwelcoming stature and blank facial expression.
   now, despite his icy aura, and problematic attitude toward most people, he often shows his soft, caring side, but only in front of his members and love interest. when he's not pissed off, or attempting to lead, he's the softest bean you'll ever know.
   after coming home from practise, or from a performance, he'll throw on his favourite red sweater, curl up in a ball on the sofa and watch stranger things on netflix. you're not allowed to disturb him, unless you're coming to give him hot chocolate, or you're gonna snuggle with him. after this, he's guaranteed to be happy, and trust me, yichao's smile is the cutest thing you've ever seen.
   he's actually in touch with his caring side, but it doesn't show through in front of people. if it did, people would get suspicious, because he wouldn't be behaving like the yichao they know. you can tell it's showed if you fall asleep on the couch and wake up with a blanket around you; or if you can't afford the jacket you really wanted from the shop, and you find it sitting on your bed after a day's practise. there's a 99% chance yichao put it there. if you ask who it was, he'll smile and whisper, "it was the fairies". one thing to know is not to confront him about it, because he'll suddenly get very flustered, and your chance of being visited by "the fairies" again gets lowered.
   when his caring side actually comes out publicly, it doesn't last long. for example, the time he got into a fight with his group members, and said "i love you, guys" after making up with him. they just looked at him weirdly, making yichao say coldly, "what's so interesting, bitch?"
   in short, yichao is a very emotional person. you can catch him in a good mood, or in a bad one. either way, there's nothing stopping you from loving him irrationally.

love interest;; f(x) luna

backup;; red velvet wendy

her brief personality;;
   luna isn't exactly the most self-aware idol, due to the fact that whenever she receives a compliment, she'll deny it. she doesn't seem to recognise any of her talents, which can come across as her being modest, or annoying. she can tell a lot of well structured jokes, but they aren't very handy when faced with yichao, who can burst into fits of laughter by looking at the word "succ". she's very caring, and although she may not show it much, she really wants the best for her friends and family. she's the type of person to miss an important event because she wants to stay home and look after someone when they need it. she's very talkative, but only with people she's comfortable with. being her best friend means you're okay with listening to her rant about her problems for hours on end. she's not the type of person to give in during situations, as she's very strong emotionally. she's basically a tough bean on the outside but on the inside, a squishy bean.

how they meet;;
   luna and yichao met on a flight, a few months into yichao's career. they had both been given seats next to each other unknowingly; yichao sat the closest to the window. when luna sat down, he thought, "when i get home, i'll tell everyone i sat next to a beautiful girl". they spent the next few minutes in silence, until yichao decided to strike up a conversation with her by asking, "where you flying to?", then realising they're flying to the same place. he didn't realise she was f(x)'s luna until she told him her name was park sunyoung, and he said, "pretty name. just like f(x) luna's, i think" and she said, "silly, i am luna!" she also let him call her 'sunyoung' for the rest of the flight.
   just before they landed, she asked for an autograph ("i've never sat next to an idol on a plane before") and yichao politely accepted, writing not only his signature down but his phone number. he saw her look down at the paper in disbelief, and he winked.
   the next day, he received a text from her, saying how much she enjoyed sitting next to him in the plane. they began texting back and forth for a week, until yichao suggested meeting up sometime, and sunyoung replied with, "it's a date".

first impressions;;
   sunyoung // she found him very charismatic. his way of talking and his small smiles were very enchanting. she felt glad to be sitting next to him, for those reasons. as their conversation started to flow, she was enlightened to know that the two of them were very similar. she didn't really care that she was two years his senior.
   yichao // he found her very pretty. that's really all to it. that's the only reason why he started a conversation with her, to converse with a pretty girl and to later brag about it to his members. he thought she was shy and cute and more interesting than he initially expected.

how he acts around her;;
   at the beginning, yichao acted very charismatic, determined to get "the pretty girl" to like him. he complimented her subtly, for example, how much he loved girls with chestnut coloured hair (her current hair colour). he felt very proud of himself, waltzing out of the plane knowing he just gave a huge celebrity his phone number. when they started talking via text, he felt a little more relaxed with her, sending her videos of the other members being dorks, and she did the same. they talked about idol life together, like the crazy diets, the performances, the fans and whatnot. when yichao told the other members that he was chatting with a girl, they were a little concerned about the privacy aspect, but were mainly interested to know if this girl was real.
   when they finally met up, he ended up blushing a lot, laughing a lot and generally being a bashful lil' bean. he told her everything about the other members, how they fuck up a lot and how they act a little bit too gay sometimes. he felt like they were really connecting, and felt incredibly accomplished when at the end of the "date", she kissed him on the cheek. when they started officially dating, he acted like his normal self, but with a lot more eyesmiles and cutesy compliments in the mornings. he seemed very determined to make the relationship work, and this would occasionally show through.

how she acts around him;;
   at the beginning, sunyoung acted very shy and came off as a sort of submissive girl. she blushed when he complimented her, and laughed at his jokes. she knew he was blackout's yichao from the start, she just didn't want to say anything before he recognised her as luna. when he gave her his number along with the autograph, she smiled to herself and immediately began texting amber, victoria and krystal about her experience.
   she found herself texting his number the next day, and during chats she openly expressed herself, beginning to act very comfortable with him. so when they met up, she felt confident and calm with him, adoring his behaviour that night. her personality didn't change much when they started dating, but she often spoke in a softer tone, and would never have anything to complain about. she recalls herself thinking that she could stare at him all day and never get bored. he made her happier, really.

suggested scenes;;
    yichao taking sunyoung to his hometown khabarovsk, and later saint petersburg. he keeps this a secret from the group members and tells them he's visiting family
    yichao staying up all night with sweetheart, telling him how much he loves sunyoung and a blow-by-blow account of everything they did together. when sweetheart eventually fell asleep, he told the rest of the story to his fish, christmas
    yichao and sunyoung being stuck in an elevator alone for several hours (i'll let you decide what happens there, i trust you ;P)
    sunyoung taking yichao on a rollercoaster for the first time, sunyoung enjoying it to the fullest while yichao screams and cries his eyes out

status;; strangers so far

relationship trivia;;
    yichao has her saved as “mirror princess” on his phone
    sunyoung has him saved as “december”. they don't save each other with their real names because of privacy
    sometimes yichao calls her “looney” and in return, he gets a playful hit on the shoulder
    he spams her with texts during the night so she smiles when she wakes up
    they both wear matching string bracelets with a charm in the middle (yichao’s is a chick and sunyoung’s is a half moon)
    they both interact on snapchat and send each other ugly pictures with the filters
    yichao made an anonymous luna fan account on instagram, which she doesn't follow; she just watches it closely

   a scandal wherein rumours of yichao leaving the group surface, after he stayed behind in china for three extra days after they performed there; and after he was seen with his other idol friends when the majority of the group were on a day out.
