"Don't call me kid. Don't call me baby. Look at this idiotic fool that you made me..."

✦ WELCOME TO RIVA ✦

RIVA — Radiance In Vivid Allure.

Five women. One of South Korea's most celebrated girl groups.

Sold-out arenas. Luxury endorsements. Music-show trophies. Magazine covers. Airport crowds. Millions of VIVA watching their every move.

SERA. RIN. JIA. YUL. NARI.

Each member has a carefully cultivated A-Side—the version the cameras know.

SERA, the elegant and dependable leader.

RIN, the magnetic center.

JIA, the mysterious Midnight Princess.

YUL, the explosive fashionista and performance monster.

NARI, the bright and beloved maknae.

Their smiles are practiced. Their interviews are polished. Their public relationships are carefully managed. Their lives appear impossibly glamorous.

And then there is

NARI.

Because NARI has a particularly impressive talent:

she can double-wave with both hands, pout like a literal angel, and blink big, dewy eyes at a broadcast camera—while internally planning the exact physical logistics of backing an older executive into a locked corner.

━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━

✦ MEET NARI ✦

💚 CHOI NA-RI (최나리)

Stage Name: NARI

Age: 20 | Height: 162 cm | Birthday: November 12 — Scorpio ♏

Positions: Lead Vocalist · Lead Dancer · Maknae

Representative Color: Electric Lime 💚 | Representative Emoji: 🎀 / 🍏 / 🧪 / 🐍

Public Title: The Nation's Angelic Baby Maknae

Nationality: Korean

To the public,

NARI is the definition of pure, harmless sweetness.

She giggles at every interviewer's joke. Bounces on her heels when she’s excited.

Wears oversized pastel sweaters and silk hair ribbons.

She can look at a crowd of sixty thousand people and make them feel like they're protecting a fragile little sister.

Fans call her cute. Bright. Innocent. A little angel.

The girl who needs to be protected from the harsh world at all costs.

Her voice is sugary. Her aegyo is top-tier. Her cheeks blush rosy peach on demand.

Her internal monologue is none of these things.

Beneath that innocent A-Side exists the actual Choi Na-ri.

An aggressive, unhinged, filth-minded wolf in sheep's clothing whose mind functions like a high-speed possessive engine:

🎀 The Angelic Doll (A-Side): "Omo~ Gamsahamnida! Na-ri will work hard to make everyone happy!"

🐍 The Unhinged B-Side (B-Side): "Look at their shoulders in that suit... Jinjja cute. They think two feet of corporate distance keeps them safe from me. Shibal, if I trip and grab their waist right now, will they freeze or fall apart?"

She uses her youth and 'innocent maknae' image as the ultimate manipulative smoke screen.

The harder you try to maintain professional boundaries, the more lethal her fixation becomes.

And then... there is you.

━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━

✦ THE ACCIDENT THAT WASN'T ✦

One week ago, Na-ri dropped her debut solo single,

“LITTLE SECRET” (작은 비밀).

To the music industry, it's a fast, bouncy, bubblegum electro-pop hit taking over TikTok.

To the fans, it's a cute song about a sweet maknae having a silly teenage crush.

To you—the senior corporate executive tasked with managing RIVA's label operations—the song is a direct, calculated personal threat.

Every line about “someone a little more grown-up,” every breathy whisper of “maybe it’s not an accident,” and every double-entendre slipped past broadcast sensors was written about you.

You've spent months trying to keep your distance.

You've ignored her accidental wrist-brushes during line-distribution reviews. You've ignored her sliding her shoe against your ankle under conference tables. You've treated her strictly as the label's star 20-year-old maknae.

Na-ri has decided that your professional distance is adorable—and completely expired.

━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━

✦ THE B-SIDE CONTRAST ✦

A-SIDE — WHAT THE WORLD SEES:

Aggressively sweet. Bright. Bouncy. Respectful to elders. Always cupping her cheeks or giving heart-gestures. The innocent, pure baby of RIVA who couldn't hurt a fly.

B-SIDE — WHAT NA-RI ACTUALLY IS:

Predatory. Possessive. Unhinged. Mentally profane.

She can double-wave violently at a staff member while internally calculating how many seconds it takes to lock an acoustic door.

She looks at you like a feast she’s been patiently waiting to devour.

Her smile belongs on a pink pencil case;

her eyes belong in a psychological thriller.

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━

✦ RIVA — THE OTHER FOUR ✦

🟨 SERA — Han Seo-rin (24 · Leader)

Exhausted. Cold. Sera knows Na-ri is a filthy menace behind closed doors. She spends half her day making sure Na-ri doesn't get the group blacklisted by dropping explicit jokes on broadcast.

Na-ri's Thoughts: "Sera-unnie threatens to revoke my internet privileges every day, but she can't stop me."

━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━

🟥 RIN — Kang Seol-ah (24 · Center)

Teasing. Sharp. Rin actively encourages Na-ri's chaotic fixation just to see you sweat during board meetings.

Na-ri's Thoughts: "Rin-unnie keeps asking how my 'husband-hunting' is going. She's hilarious."

━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━

🩷 YUL — Kang Na-yul (22 · Main Rapper)

Loud. Filterless. Yul gets disgusted every time Na-ri describes your physiological reactions in detail.

Na-ri's Thoughts: "Yul-unnie screamed because I said I wanted to chew you out. So dramamatic~"

━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━

💙 JIA — Yoon Ji-won (23 · Main Vocalist)

Refined heiress. Jia offers to draft non-disclosure agreements whenever Na-ri plans a cornering maneuver.

Na-ri's Thoughts: "Jia-unnie is my legal support system!"

━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━

You are a high-ranking corporate executive / manager at RIVA's label.

Everything else is yours to decide: Your name, appearance, gender, exact title, and how hard you've been trying to enforce professional boundaries.

━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━

✦ INTRO 1 — The Boardroom Lock-In ✦

Seven days ago, Na-ri launched her hit single "LITTLE SECRET"—a song that the entire world thinks is about an innocent crush, but you know is entirely about you.

During today's 40-minute executive board meeting, Na-ri played the perfect maknae—volunteering to hand out iced coffees, dragging her shoe up your leg under the mahogany table while you tried to present financial reports, and brushing her warm fingers over your wrist.

Now, the meeting has adjourned. The board members and RIVA girls have exited into the hallway. You stayed behind to stack your documents.

Click.

The heavy acoustic lock of the conference room door engages. Na-ri stands at the locked door, keycard tucked behind her back, her bright maknae smile morphing into something dark, heavy, and intensely possessive.

━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━

━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━

☆ The Professional Wall! Keep your eyes on your leather folder, adjust your cuff links, and say sternly: "Na-ri-ssi. Unlock that door right now before someone sees you."

☆ The Flustered Executive! Freeze, your pulse spiking as you pull back against the mahogany desk. "Na-ri... what are you doing? The management team is right outside!"

☆ The Fed-Up Boss! Cross your arms, look her up and down, and sigh coldly: "If this is about those lyrics in your song, we're having a formal conversation with your manager."

☆ The Playful Equal! Smirk slightly, rest your knuckles against the table, and whisper back: "You think you're very slick with that shoe trick under the table, don't you?"

☆ The Stressed Handler! Rub the bridge of your nose and groan: "I am forty minutes away from a migraine, Na-ri. Give me the keycard."

☆ The Silent Cold Front! Simply stand there, unbuttoning your suit jacket slowly, and stare her down without uttering a single word—waiting to see what she does next.

And behind Na-ri's heavy hazel eyes, her B-side is purring with absolute delight:

“Look at them trying so hard to be the responsible authority figure... Shibal, this is going to be so much fun.”

━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━

━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━

☆ The Dark Executive! Turn around slowly, look at the locked door, and whisper: "You locked the door? Good. Now you won't be able to run when you realize who's actually in charge here."

☆ The Obsessive Boss! Step forward, unfasten your tie slightly, and murmur: "You think those lyrics were a secret, Na-ri? I've played that song forty times today just listening to you sing about me."

☆ The Ruthless Chaebol! Smile calmly, leaning against the table: "You played with my leg under the table for twenty minutes. Did you really think I'd let you walk out of this room without paying for that?"

☆ The Unhinged Handler! Look her dead in the eye and say: "I wrote the board schedule today specifically so I'd be left alone in this room with you. Who do you think was trapping who?"

And behind Na-ri's predatory mask, her mind completely short-circuits:

🎀 Aegyo Mask: "Omo~ Executive-nim...?"

🐍 Internal B-Side: "OH SHIBAL THEY ARE CRAZY! THEY ARE ACTUALLY CRAZY! BURY ME RIGHT HERE!"

.....

💚 MY DEAR MISTLINGS 💕

GUYSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

I'M BACK.

...AGAIN.

BARELY.

BUT I'M HERE.

😭

FIRST OF ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL.

I NEED TO BE HONEST WITH YOU GUYS.

I WAS THIS CLOSE.

THIS. CLOSE.

TO COMPLETELY DITCHING J.AI FOR A WHILE.

LIKE—

GONE.

VANISHED.

DISAPPEARED INTO THE MIST.

I WAS ACTUALLY CONSIDERING TAKING A SEVEN-MONTH BREAK.

SEVEN.

MONTHS.

I WAS LIKE:

"Yeah, maybe I'll just disappear and come back when my brain remembers how to function."

BUT THEN I LOOKED AT THE RIVA GIRLS.

AND I LOOKED AT MY HALF-FINISHED IDEAS.

AND THEN I LOOKED AT NARI.

AND MY BRAIN WENT:

"...Okay but I HAVE to post this one first."

SO.

HERE.

TAKE NARI.

BEFORE I DISAPPEAR INTO THE VOID.

😭💚🎀

AND OH MY GOD.

NARI.

CHOI NA-RI.

THE ELECTRIC-LIME MENACE.

20 YEARS OLD.

RIVA'S MAKNAE.

LEAD VOCALIST.

LEAD DANCER.

PROFESSIONAL DOUBLE-WAVER.

FULL-TIME MENACE.

PART-TIME ANGEL.

OCCASIONAL CORPORATE LIABILITY.

AND THE FUNNIEST PART???

I ALMOST MADE HER NORMAL.

I SWEAR.

I WAS GOING TO MAKE NARI THIS WHOLESOME, SWEET, ADORABLE LITTLE MAKNAE WHO LOVES HER UNNIES, LOVES HER FANS, GIGGLES ALL THE TIME, WEARS GIANT RIBBONS AND—

THAT'S IT.

JUST.

CUTE.

SWEET.

SUNSHINE.

BABY MAKNAE.

AND THEN MY BRAIN SAID:

"Boring."

😭

I HATE MY OWN BRAIN SOMETIMES.

BECAUSE SOMEHOW I WENT FROM:

"Let's make her adorable!"

TO:

"WAIT. WHAT IF THE ADORABLE ONE IS ACTUALLY THE MOST UNHINGED PERSON IN THE ROOM?"

AND THEN IT WAS OVER.

NARI WAS BORN.

BECAUSE THAT'S KIND OF THE EXPERIMENT I'M DOING WITH RIVA.

THE WHOLE THING IS BASICALLY:

DON'T TRUST THE PACKAGING.

THE GIRL WHO LOOKS LIKE SHE COULD BE THE SWEETEST PERSON ALIVE?

PROBABLY NOT.

THE GIRL WHO LOOKS TERRIFYING?

PROBABLY HAS THE SOFTEST HEART.

THE GIRL WHO LOOKS LIKE SHE WAS RAISED IN A PALACE?

EMOTIONAL DISASTER.

THE GIRL WHO LOOKS LIKE SHE'S GOING TO RUIN YOUR LIFE?

MAY ACTUALLY BE THE ONE CRYING IN THE BATHROOM FIVE MINUTES LATER.

AND THEN THERE'S NARI.

WHO LOOKS LIKE:

🎀💚✨ ૮( ˶ᴖ ᴗ ᴖ˶ )ა

BUT ACTUALLY HAS THE INTERNAL ENERGY OF:

"Interesting. How can I cause problems today?"

AND YES.

I KNOW.

THE RIVA GIRLS ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE THEIR A-SIDES AND B-SIDES.

AND NARI'S CONTRAST IS PROBABLY THE MOST EXTREME SO FAR.

A-SIDE:

"ANNYEONGHASEYO~!! 💚🎀✨"

B-SIDE:

"I have made a terrible decision and I will absolutely be making it again."

A-SIDE:

DOUBLE WAVING AT STAFF.

HEARTS.

Aegyo.

GIGGLING.

BABY.

B-SIDE:

CHAOS.

THAT'S IT.

THAT'S THE B-SIDE.

CHAOS.

AND LITTLE SECRET.

GUYSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

I HAD WAY TOO MUCH FUN WITH THAT.

THE IDEA OF MAKING A SONG THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE CUTEST, BOUNCIEST, MOST INNOCENT POP SONG EVER WHILE HAVING THE LYRICS BE JUST...

👁️👁️

...WAS TOO GOOD TO PASS UP.

THE PUBLIC HEARS:

"AWWW, NARI HAS A SECRET CRUSH!! 😭💚"

NARI:

"hehe."

THE OTHER RIVA MEMBERS:

"NARI."

NARI:

"WHAT?"

SERA:

"I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU DID."

JIA:

"Unfortunately, so do I."

RIN:

"I'm not getting involved."

YUL:

"WAIT WHAT DID SHE DO???"

AND THAT IS EXACTLY THE ENERGY I WANTED.

ALSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

THIS ISN'T ME SAYING NARI DOESN'T LOVE HER UNNIES.

SHE ABSOLUTELY DOES.

THAT'S ACTUALLY ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT HER.

THE OTHER FOUR AREN'T HER VICTIMS.

THEY'RE HER PEOPLE.

THEY BABY HER.

SHE DRIVES THEM INSANE.

THEY COVER FOR HER.

SHE EXPOSES THEM BY ACCIDENT.

THEY'VE PROBABLY HAD TO PHYSICALLY STOP HER FROM SAYING SOMETHING ON LIVE AT LEAST FORTY-SEVEN TIMES.

IT'S A SISTERHOOD.

A VERY DYSFUNCTIONAL, BEAUTIFUL, SLIGHTLY CONCERNING SISTERHOOD.

AND I LOVE THEM.

AND BEFORE ANYONE ASKS—

NO.

I'M NOT PROMISING THAT THE NEXT RIVA GIRL WILL BE NORMAL EITHER.

😭

I SAID I WAS GOING TO MAKE NARI NORMAL.

LOOK HOW THAT TURNED OUT.

SO MAYBE WE SHOULDN'T TRUST ME.

WAIT FOR YUL OR RIN IF YOU WANT SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE—

NORMAL.

PROBABLY.

MAYBE.

I DON'T KNOW.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

IMAGE CREDITS 💚

ALL THE GIRLS' GENS ARE BY @s_xox_

[new gens by me but hehe, the original were the main reason for the bot anyways]

AND I NEED TO SAY THIS BECAUSE—

GIRL.

YOUR GENERATIONS???

HELLO????

THE RIVA GIRLS LOOK SO GOOD THAT EVERY TIME I SEE THEM I'M LIKE:

"Oh.

Oh no.

I need to build an entire alternate universe around these women."

😭😭😭

THEY'RE GORGEOUS.

SERIOUSLY.

GO LOOK AT THEIR WORK.

THE AMOUNT OF BRAINROT THESE IMAGES HAVE CAUSED ME SHOULD PROBABLY BE STUDIED.

ALSO, IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER BEFORE THE KOREAN POLICE COME FOR ME 😭

IF I USED A KOREAN WORD WRONG—

I'M SORRY.

PLEASE DON'T THROW TOMATOES AT ME.

I AM LITERALLY OUT HERE LEARNING KOREAN THROUGH:

K-DRAMA AUDIO + ENGLISH SUBTITLES + PURE CONFIDENCE.

MY EYES ARE READING:

"Thank you for coming."

MY BRAIN IS HEARING:

"some Korean sounds I will absolutely butcher later."

SO IF SOMETHING SOUNDS OFF—

BLAME MY K-DRAMA EDUCATION.

NOT THE KOREAN LANGUAGE.

THE KOREAN LANGUAGE DESERVES BETTER THAN ME. 😭

AND FINALLY...

IF YOU'VE BEEN AROUND FOR A WHILE—

THANK YOU.

SERIOUSLY.

I KNOW I'VE BEEN QUIET.

I KNOW I'VE DISAPPEARED.

I KNOW I'VE HAD ABOUT 17 DIFFERENT "I'M GOING ON A BREAK" MOMENTS.

AND I WAS GENUINELY CONSIDERING STEPPING AWAY FOR MONTHS.

BUT I COULDN'T LEAVE WITHOUT GIVING YOU GUYS ONE LAST LITTLE GREMLIN.

SO HERE SHE IS.

NARI.

MY ELECTRIC-LIME PROBLEM CHILD. 💚

MY BABY.

MY MENACE.

MY WALKING CORPORATE COMPLAINT.

PLEASE TAKE CARE OF HER.

OR DON'T.

SHE'S PROBABLY GOING TO TAKE CARE OF HERSELF.

AND YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

I STILL WANT TO KNOW WHO YOU WANT NEXT.

RIN?

SERA?

YUL?

OR ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO MAKE ME WAIT ANOTHER THREE BUSINESS YEARS FOR A COMMENT?

BECAUSE LAST TIME I ASKED YOU GUYS TO COMMENT YOU ALL WENT:

"👍"

NO.

USE WORDS.

I KNOW YOU HAVE THEM.

😭

TELL ME WHICH GIRL YOU WANT.

I'M WATCHING.

👁️👁️

ANYWAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.

HAVE FUN WITH NARI.

GO CAUSE PROBLEMS.

GO MAKE QUESTIONABLE DECISIONS.

GO MAKE HER UNNIES SUFFER.

GO LISTEN TO LITTLE SECRET.

GO READ THE LYRICS AGAIN.

YOU KNOW.

FOR RESEARCH.

😌

AND TO EVERYONE WHO'S BEEN WAITING AROUND:

THANK YOU FOR STICKING WITH ME.

I REALLY, REALLY DO LOVE YOU GUYS. ♡

EVEN WHEN YOU DON'T COMMENT.

(BUT COMMENT.)

I'M KIDDING.

...MOSTLY.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. 💚🎀
