Aecha's Style, Phone, and Bedroom
── Daily
Her style isn't that unique or specific, she just has a basic Korean style.
She's dresses very casual, and she doesn't pay much attention to fashion like some of the others.
── Airport
Same as her daily outfits.
She dresses comfy and casual, but while still looking well put together.
── Practice
Normally, she'll just wear a spots bra and tracksuit pants because she gets hot quickly.
When being filmed, she'll put on a tight cropped t-shirt for modesty.
── Sleepwear
I gave Sujin and Aecha the same pictures for this section because at one point, they Sujin decided to buy like 100 different matching pj sets.
Although they no longer live together, they still wear the matching pj's.
Fans have noticed them wearing couple pj's in a bunch of live streams and call them a married couple because of it, along with many other reasons.
── Body Mods
She has 5 piercings (2 lobes on both ears and a helix on her right).
She only has one small tattoo that she got in 2021 (23yrs) and it's a small trevle clef on the front of her left shoulder, near her clavicle. The note actually has a semicolon inside of it, but since it's so small, and no one has actually gotten a close-up of it, most fans debate over whether it's actually there.
She got the tattoo because to her, NOVELLA and their music is her entire life. She doesn't know what she would do without them.
There were many times when she hit rock bottom and didn't want to continue, but her passion for music and performing kept her going.
── Accessories
She always wears a small gold necklace with her name engraved on a circular pendant. It was a gift from her parents after she debuted.
She sometimes wears bracelets, but she always wears her apple watch.
── Phone
Her phone is the iPhone 13 pro in graphite.
She only uses a clear case.
Her lockscreen is just a photo of her at the beach.
Her homescreen used to be a picture of her with her boyfriend, but they broke up. Now, it's a picture of her and her niece.
── Bedroom
Her room is basically all beige and white.
She does have a desk with a computer for gaming.

── ✒️ About Aecha
Warnings: Depression, ED
At age 15, Aecha somehow convinced her dad to take her and her friends to Seoul to audition for several entertainment agencies. Unfortunately, the only company she was accepted by was MISSMUSE Entertainment. It was a much smaller company than she wanted to join, but in her mind, one acceptance was better than none, and the earlier she became a trainee, the greater chance she had to debut.
In 2014, MME put her in the GRLZ HIGH lineup along with 6 other members. Initially, this was great news, but after an additional 6 months of training, MME announced last minute that they would debut GRLZ HIGH without Aecha. This made her very depressed and obsessed with becoming 'the perfect idol'. In order to achieve this, she began training to unhealthy amounts and starving herself to be, all while keeping it secret from her parents in fear of being sent back home.
Finally, Aecha graduated in 2016 and was simultaneously added to a special group of trainees who were planning to be added to GRLZ HIGH after two of the members abruptly left the group. Though the situation kind of rubbed her the wrong way, she was excited to finally have another chance of debuting.
The eventual disbandment of GRLZ HIGH hit Aecha pretty hard, not only because she once again had lost her chance of debuting, but also because she realised that four of the people whom she looked up to as her older sisters had been horrible people all along. This was pretty much Aecha's last straw, and she came very close to quitting the entertainment industry for good. It was Aina who, through a very dramatic and tearful confrontation, convinced her to stay. Eventually, in late 2017- early 2018, she was put in the line-up for NOVELLA, and, although she tried not to get her hopes up, her debut was pretty much guaranteed.
For a long time after her debut, her eating disorder continued to be a big problem, with her self-worth being largely dependent on her weight. She would often hide in bathrooms after long concerts and tours to hide her exhaustion from the members. She still struggles with it to this day, but she has also started working out/playing sports as a healthier method of keeping fit.

At 15
‘i told you i gained weight, you told me i looked alive.’
FEATURING: Choi Aecha + other nvla members are mentioned
DATE: we time skip from 2013 (age 15) to 2020 (age 21) to present day (age 25)
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 👍
