Chapter Text
Sometime in 1998:
Hyuna and Luka Lafayette were pretty famous indeed. Well known in many countries, wealthy, and had a successful acting job. Their typical routine was the same ol’ thing. Drop their daughter off at school, head to some company near Wall Street, and discuss their next movie, then the cycle repeats. Sometimes, they would bring her with them.
Just like them, another family reigned the silver screens. People almost exactly like them. The DeGaule-Durands. Ronan, Lisa, and their daughter Lyla have seen them, but never really cared to pay attention to them.
Almost the same life, same backstory, same status, same age, but the slightest details differentiate them from each other.
Ronan and Luka looked scarily similar, but the only differences were Ronan’s eyes, hair, and build. He inherited Hazel eyes from his mother, curly, light blonde bicep length hair from his father, and he had a slightly more healthier build. He was also a few inches taller than him, standing at just six feet. Both of them also shared French-Canadian heritage, but Ronan was born and raised in Australia for some of his life, then moved to Canada at just five years old to continue his singing career, and follow his footsteps into being a child of nepotism.
Career wise, they both share acting and singing, but Ronan held one more talent, which was writing. Ronan always liked to busy himself, and a few months after Lyla’s birth, he became an author, releasing his first book on a tribute to fatherhood in March of 1990.
Lisa and Hyuna were also pretty identical. Brunettes, sun-kissed skin, curves that accentuated their silhouettes, and a contagious smile. Lisa was a bit shorter than Hyuna, standing at a mere 5’7. But that was not all. Lisa was born with heterochromia, which was what people were drawn to. It was almost like Elizabeth Taylor’s violet eyes. Unlike Hyuna, who had a quarter Korean ancestry, she had a quarter Japanese ancestry, not knowing that she’s related to a wealthy family who used to be royals, the Hagiwaras.
Throughout her childhood, she gained an interest in both acting and the law. News broadcasts, and her time in Japan aa a teenager, revealed how unjust the world was, which was what pushed her into going to Columbia Law school in 1993, at just 26 years old, becoming a lawyer in the process. Juggling an acting, singing, and a law career all at once, she is often met with stress, having to put her acting and singing on hold due to how intense her cases can get.
Lyla and Genevieve. Where do I even begin? Obviously both of them got their father’s blonde hair and lashes, and their mother’s personality, but Lyla has Ronan’s hazel eyes, while Genevieve has Hyuna’s blue eyes. Their forms of self expression could also tell them apart. Genevieve rather does things in secret or in her friend group, but Lyla does it out loud and in the open. She doesn’t care if she bad mouths a family member, she knows they deserve it if they did something wrong. She doesn’t care if anyone in her school hates her. That’s their problem. If they were to pick a fight with her, she would have no problem doing the first blow.
The story starts where it should start as usual. The city where dreams are made of. New York, Manhattan, 1998.
