The Neouivela Variety Show (2022 - PRESENT)
[▶] ep. 1 - 2 ── Storybook High
Each member was given a role to act out:
The episode begins with a skit of each member entering the classroom:
Aina is reading a book alone in an empty classroom with the lights turned off.
Next, Sujin is shown skipping to class while humming to herself, “I can't wait to see my new class, I wonder who I'll meet!” She opens the door and turns on the lights. Upon noticing Aina she jumps from shock. “Oh! Uh.. excuse me? Who are you?”
Aina eagerly jumps up from her seat and bows deeply. She accidentally slams her head on the desk which causes the whole set to burst out laughing. The scene replays at least 3 times before cutting away.
“Hello! I'm Hiramatsu Aina! Nice to meet you!”
“Oh… ok? I'm Sujin.” Sujin offers her a polite smile, albeit a bit awkwardly, while walking to her seat.
The first bell rings a moment later, indicating that class is about to start. The remaining members (bar Haeun and Dambi) all file into class, taking their respective seats.
As each member introduces themselves in character, cute, school-themed name cards pop up with their character traits and names.
Aecha arrives right as the second bell rings. She introduces herself as well and announces that today there will be competition for the title of class representative.
(Eunjeong: “I don't really want to be a class rep though?”)
Right after Aecha finishes explaining, Haeun waltzes into class while eating a baguette.
“What time do you think this is?” Aecha crosses her arms in faux anger.
Haeun seems unbothered. “I was hungry.”
Dambi closely follows behind, blazer slung over her shoulder, offering a simple nod as a greeting.
The games are as follows:
Math Class - sneaky eating challenge. The members must try to finish a Korean lunchbox while trying not to get caught by the teacher. The last one standing gets 5 points, the first to lose gets 0.
Aecha suddenly spins around from the chalkboard. “Hey! Min Sujin! Are you eating?”
Sujin sighs and slams her food on the table. “And what?”
“That’s not very in character??”
Social Studies Class - random team debates on unserious topics such as; one butt or two butts?; is a hotdog a sandwich?; and more. The teams were chosen randomly before each round, courtesy of rps. Aecha judges which team provides the most compelling argument. One point is given to each member on the winning team.
“Those who don't like mint chocolate should just die.” Aina seems to be the only one upset by her team losing the debate.
“That's not how this game works.”
Music Class - finish the lyrics. The girls are lined up at the back of the class and must run forward to the microphone to finish the lyrics. One point is given for both the song name and lyrics correctly guessed. Those who guess incorrectly are blasted with wind.
“Seriously, why do K-Pop idols use so much English nowadays, it's K-Pop, K-pop.” Eunjeong huffs.
“Don't be mad just because you didn't study hard enough.” Dambi teases.
Oh yeah, Dambi wins, which is kinda out of character as the delinquent.
"Uhh... I bet you weren't expecting this."
[▶] ep 13 - 14 ── Storybook Mafia
This time the episodes are set in an ‘abandoned’ shipping container warehouse.
The gift for the winning team was only a 30,000 won gift card but they took this game way too seriously.
Aecha, who is for some reason taking the mafia boss role, finally speaks up. “Those in favour of killing Nari?” Everyone raises their hands. “Ok-”
Nari lets out a guttural scream while falling to her knees.
Also, Aina was the game master and described each night sequence like it was a Shakespearean play.
“It was a dark and stormy night, Eunjeong strayed down a narrow alleyway, unsuspecting of the danger awaiting her further down the path-” She acts out each word with large and dramatic movements.
Sujin cuts her off, “Who died?”
Aina stares at her, offended. “…Excuse me?”
The mafias won (it was Nari and Dambi btw) and Haeun was in an uproar.
Haeun leaps up from her chair once the mafias are revealed. “Didn’t I tell you?! This team is useless!! I knew it was her from the beginning but you voted ME?! Why!?”
The civilian team was too stunned to speak.
[▶] ep 21-23 ── Storybook Haunted House
Half of these episodes were bleeped out because they kept swearing, and Eunjeong's idol image went to a place of no return, but! These are probably some of the best of the series.
So good, in fact, that it has become a recurring Halloween special on the show. Last year we also got 'Storybook Haunted Hospital'.
The girls- who had been locked inside of a haunted mansion- had to look for clues hidden in the house to find keys to unlock the hundreds there were like 10 of locks that hung on the big gate at the entrance.
However, along the way, there were actors cosplaying as ghosts that would chase and jump scare them. People who got tagged by the actors would have to be saved by other members, which caused many arguments.
“Unnie! If you keep getting caught I'm gonna just leave you there!” Aecha yelled while trying to fend off a bloody ghost.
There were also puzzles they had to solve but nvla collectively has one brain cell so Sujin was literally carrying.
“No, it should be the fourth box because two plus one is four.”
“…Are you stupid?”
[▶] ep 40-42 ── SBBG (Storybook Battlegrounds)
In this episode, the girls played irl PUBG (aka they shot each other with airsoft guns).
They were split into two teams, Team A (Aecha, Haeun, Dambi) and Team S (Sujin, Eunjeong, Nari, Aina).
“OK! Since we're the first team we'll be team A.” Haeun and her teammates laugh brightly at the other team's disgruntled looks.
“Then we'll be team S.” Nari cuts in sharply with a smug tone of voice.
The Velas are super competitive, even when there isn't a prize involved. Now hand them a bunch of guns and...
“Just run in and kill them all!”
a chorus of cheers erupts from the Team S base
Literally, none of the teams came up with a game plan, so it was pretty much just a messy free-for-all with everyone running around like headless chickens.
Team A won! And they did not hesitate to rub it in (especially to Nari, who is known to brag about her video game prowess).
“She plays Valorant all night and she can't even get a few points.”
“Platinum who? She must be hacking.”
A/N: I've been holding onto this since *checks notes* '0' October?!?! and I'm sick of looking at it so here

A/N: the header i had to make vs the header God intended for me to use
!!!: eating disorder, idk if it counts as abuse or assault but she gets hit, seizure but she doesn't have epilepsy it's just a consequence of her ed, hospitalisation
At 15, Aecha learnt about hunger.
It was a carving, aching pain. The feeling of smooth muscle eating itself because there was nothing else to digest. Nausea pulling up in your throat, but never resulting in anything because there wasn't anything. It was staying up till the next morning because there's no way to fall asleep when your brain and body are screaming at you to just eat.
“Goodness, I can barely focus on what you’re doing. All I can see are these.” The dance teacher roughly grabs her thigh and hits it mockingly. “How can you even stand here like this?”
Aecha bows her head and mutters an apology. She can feel everyone's eyes on her. Her seniors. Her peers.
“Listen. By next week you better lose some weight. Otherwise, I’m not teaching you.” She scoffs and turns to walk out. “I can’t fucking work with these kids.”
She didn't eat for the rest of the day, and once she did she threw it all back up.
At 21, Aecha learnt about anger.
She’d been angry before, but never like this. It felt like she was burning under the white fluorescent lights and diagnostic stares. She lashed out at everyone who looked at her with that same pitiful look that made her want to crawl out of her own skin.
Who was she even angry at? Dambi, for saving her life? Or herself for not hiding it as well as she thought she had? She’s pretty sure she screamed at both of them.
“You were fucking convulsing on the floor, Aecha! What the hell did you want me to do?!”
“You should’ve just- left me there! I wasn’t going to die!-”
“You are dying!”
Aecha can’t remember her response, but she remembers the tears.
At 25 Aecha learns how to be full, and how to enjoy it.
Before 25, Aecha felt like being full was a chore. Eating three meals a day felt like a more excruciating version of brushing your teeth before bed. Something no one really enjoys but everyone has to do. She didn’t understand the joy Sujin felt when eating Haeun’s home-cooked meals. They were good, yes, but the pit in her stomach that got heavier after every bite far outweighed the pleasant taste.
It took her a while- even after she technically 'recovered'- to remember what full truly feels like.
It’s the feeling she gets when she’s eating with six of her closest friends. The feeling she gets when she and Sujin trade bites because they both order different food to share. The feeling she gets when Haeun wordlessly drops off a new recipe for her to try and doesn't smile until Aecha goes, ‘Mmm, delicious’.
“Try this! I added vinegar this time.”
“Do you want to try that new restaurant? Everyone’s saying the steak’s pretty good.”
“Once we get to Japan we have to eat sushi again, I’m craving it so bad.”
Aecha didn’t even know she regained the ability to crave food until she said it out loud.
“Of course. I’ll eat anything with you.”
A/A/N: i originally scrapped this bc i tried a different writing style? kinda? and I’m not sure if the short sentences are overdoing it but instead of being self-deprecating and ruining the vibe, I am just going to say that it was fun to write and that's all that matters 👍
