more about. on the positive side of seungwoo lies his undoubted weirdness. he's an experimental kind of guy, does things differently because hey, you might actually like it! whether it's food dishes, or taking out the trash, he'll find a way to make baek seungwoo. he's open to anything and everyone, not afraid to aproach someone with open arms and a smile. any kind of conversing and interacting is essential to woo, for if there is no social society there is no way to know what's going on out there, who's wearing what, who's dating who; he's not particularly interested in details, but he enjoys listening to different things everyday. seungwoo may be a little blunt in expressing what he's thinking, but don't be alarmed if he thinks your new sugar daddy is nuh-uh because he'll just go on about how your shoes are . there is no stopping him. as much as he loves to have fun he loves what he does. the coffee and cafe industry projected an exotic paradise of no limits for seungwoo, and he decided he would delve into it head first for the rest of his life. he couldn't possibly live doing something other than creating specialty drinks. it brings him such joy he could argue all day about the wonderful things of it.
if you haven't noticed seungwoo's feminne charms and cute exclamations you obviously don't know seungwoo. he does things like a gentle carress, fluid and warm. the way he talks, walks, hugs, even the way he punches is pretty weak and girly. the boy acknowledges it when someone brings it up, but it's not like he tries to be a girl. it just turned out that way. and it's not like the overpowering aegyo would be any help in denying it. he has a tendency to make odd squeaks and squeals when he's surprised, or jolted, or scared, or- anything really. pouting and whining are also included in the package. on another note, seungwoo is the kind of person who needs a billion lists and schedules and absolutely has to follow each one of them. his daily life is literally planned out, so don't expect anything random do happen out of him: if you're not in his schedule you're not in his life.
leaning towards the more negative side of the young boy submissive comes up first. he doesn't like to argue - on serious matters - or decide things because he's scared he'll turn up with the wrong solution and create a bigger mess. he let's others order him around, putting up with the discomfort a better choice then having things go his way. it really hampers down the independence of an adult, wanting to be told what to do like a child, and he tries not to let that creep into his self-esteem. seungwoo isn't very street smart either. he doesn't get jokes, or innuendos, or sarcasm and it's not so much fun having to explain ual phrases or soothe a teary-eyed seungwoo. he's working on it though. despite his passive nature he can get quite obsessive with things. and people. he'll go two to three days without sleep perfecting a recipie, or spend his entire paycheck on skin care goods. seungwoo's biggest obsession at the moment is zitao, constantly clinging and praising the chinese; he often dreams about the time zitao saved him in a kingdom-esque soliloquy. simply put, he doesn't know when to stop or when enough is enough.
growing up as an only child he had never experienced the concept of "sharing", and seemed to continue with him as he grew older. even in school he never let you borrow his crayons, or give you a potato chip, simply put, they were his.
Background. baek seungwoo grew up as an only child with few friends. he learned to play by himself and not bother his parents, often creating imaginary friends and pretending a doll was his baby sister. his mother worked as a successful neurosergeon at a local hospital and his father made money buying antiques and reselling them, and yet they always found time for their son.
many kids saw him as the angel, the girly boy with the perfect life. he would admit he had it made: no bickering with siblings, happy parents who lavished their attention and money on him ( though they lacked understanding his feelings; he feels constricted and plastic, fake, around them ), and enough book smartness to outweigh the lack of street smartness. but it was so boring and plain, there was no unique stain in his history textbook; he wasn't a cripple, he was certainly no sob story, he didn't have secret escapades. by the time he went into highschool he had his whole life planned and filled with all the things he would do. his love and ambition for the coffee making business was spurred by his own father's inclination for coffee over tea. the aroma and spice was so perfect at his first sip. he wanted to ruin it. coffees were boring really, and that's why he was so eager to experiment and prod at one's coffee experience. traveling was another plan in bold, along with wardrobe goals and body goals, but friends never seemed to make it on the list.
hyun jaeho ( go sanggil ) and xi wei fan ( chen yue ) were his closest friends since they napped together in preschool. they saw past his "perfect" image, past the drear interior of his skeleton, and uncovered the fun-loving seungwoo. daring, bright, and adventurous the three of them were; they could never settle down and just watch movies. the need to run the streets of busan at night thrummed in their veins as much as dancing in the rain did, there was constant motion. but after every game there is a loser, and seungwoo felt the loss most when he came home, when he faced his peers, when he routinely followed his school schedule. sure he felt special in jaeho and wei fan's arms, but they won't always be there. he burned it into his brain before he could see it was false. he was so engrossed in creating the new life he would live he drifted farther from his friends and secluded himself to creating a perfect imperfect life.
he no longer keeps in contact with them, hasn't done so since junior high and probably never will again since he moved out from his parents when college hit. seungwoo prefers not to answer his mother's calls, as disgraceful as it is, but the sound of her voice would bring him back to whitewashed walls and pet names.
daily lifestyle. on a normal workday seungwoo will wake up early - around five thirty - to an alarm of whatever idol song is trending on the radio; he usually has a playlist to play for the remainder of the morning until he leaves for work. he'll spend about forty minutes to his skin care regimen, applying creams and moisturizers and a bit of makeup near the end, and half an hour wrestling with hairspray and his hair. after that he'll slip into his uniform laid out the night before and start preparing breakfast. he usually cooks something simple and easy, but will never resort to instant ramen or fastfood as breakfast. after a cup of juice, and scrambled eggs with fish - a concotion he created including excessive hot sauce and salt -, he'll start making a lunchbox for later in the day. at least he has normal foods for lunch, like bibimbap, or jajjangmyun. with more hot sauce. when going to work he carries a messenger bag with him with his lunch and "how to chinese" books. he reads it when no customers are around and refuses to read during lunch to hang around tao.
when he comes home he immeadiately turns another playlist on and starts making himself dinner, doing the laundry or watering the plants at the same time; a multi-tasker he is. after dinner he'll shower immeadiately, usually taking an hour in there to scrub and rinse thoroughly. wrapped in comfy pajamas seungwoo curls up on the bed with a cooking show on and a cafe drinks recipe book in hand as his nightly facial mask dries. he'll reluctantly go to wash it off and then proceed to pass out face first at nine.
on holiday seungwoo follows his normal waking, skin care, and breakfast schedule, but instead of heading for work he'll go out with friends or shop for more beauty products. he'll usually return in the afternoon to tryout coffee recipies with groceries he bought. sometimes things go wrong - because he insists on adding things that shouldn't be there - and he'll spend hours wiping the mess away. sometimes he likes to write in a notebook about his dreams to open his own cafe in seoul, or even another country; perhaps china, he's quite insistent on self-teaching the language. he stays up late to practice his mandarin chinese or talking on the phone or both; his friends sometimes tune out on the foreign language unconciously being spoken by woo.
he'll follow his nightly facial and hygeine regimen with a soothing playlist playing. he usually passes out after the second song though.

feelings about work. how do i feel about work? hmm, i think i like it a lot! i get to make drinks all day and furthur improve my skills with coffee, so it's one step closer to opening my own business! although, i always have to apologize for baekhyun's absentmindedness because he doesn't really see what's wrong with getting people's names wrong. i mean, how are they going to know it's their drink if their name isn't called?! i don't really enjoy talking to angry people, but if baekhyun says so i don't really have a choice. it stresses me out and stress is not good for your skin. sometimes i want to call customer service to deal with these people. speaking of angry/scary people the one person i really don't like is yifan, i crouch behind the counter where the milk is when he comes by. he needs to tone the eyebrows down and put some flowers in his hair because he's a monster! the only thing i like about him is his skin, i think we could bond over coffee and moisturizers if he smiled a bit. but, through yifan i met zitao! tao ge saved me from yifan's firebreathing terror and i can't thank him enough! really, i always find time for him in my scedule~
i think work here is really great, i get to meet and interact with different people all the time alongside friends. i wish we had more time off though, i really really really want to hangout with baekhyun, and luhan, and tao ge outside of work more. especially my prince tao, he's so wonderful, he's tall and handsome and has great thighs and he's really nice because he saved me and-
i also want to try flying! i work in an airport but i've never been in a plane. hmph. i wonder if i ask captain jonginnie he would let me fly for free!
colleagues.
— byun baekhyun / 25 / barista / ditzy and definitely absentminded, but never fails to dedicate himself to his work; a cheerful ball of energy who has enough self-confidence to brush complaints and insults away / baekhyun finds seungwoo adorable and easy to poke fun at, and seungwoo just accepts all the cheek pinching and suggestive innuendos concerning a certain customs officer; they mostly joke around with each other behind the counter but occasionally find time outside work to interact, like lunch dates or just texting in the night; they seem all fun and games but seungwoo found baekhyun easy to explain himself to, and more often than not finds himself spilling his feelings and problems into him; in exchange for cheek pinching he finds a trustworthy friend he can rely on; though, seungwoo is still misty on the baekhyun behind the smiling face, and has bluntly asked him about it before - what do your parents do, how were you raised, what were your dreams - but turns up empty handed
— lu han / 26 / duty-free store manager / somewhat flirty, outgoing and friendly, it's often hard to take him seriously when he's decked out in pink and is lacking the manly department / lu han and seungwoo only make small chitchat considering he only comes in once in a while to buy a stuffed animal for zitao; but they're friendly with each other enough for lu han to joke he would be a perfect girlfriend and seungwoo to promptly punch his guts
— wu yifan / 26 / security specialist / highly intimidating in looks but there seems to be some softheartedness underneath the defined face; he has a "subtle" way of flirting with the ladies by openly staring at the baristas and may be closer to scaring them instead of wooing them / the guy scares the out of seungwoo, and even more so after a little coffee incident, so seungwoo prefers to avoid the elder as much as possible; but when put in the situation of taking his order seungwoo trembles and prays to god he doesn't die underneath his stare; yifan doesn't seem to notice, but woo can't tell

personality. zitao is not a people person. people people can have conversations with people, be friends with people, deal with people, deal with themselves. zitao is not a people person. he's not good at small talk and usually makes conversations something only necessary when needed. he's cold and aloof to others while he struggles to find something to say, and in the end others talk behind his back about how cold-hearted he is. expressing his enjoyment and love was an issue he's always had, his face didn't want to smile, didn't want to look happy, didn't blush or pale. it's hard to tell if he likes your company or really wants to stab you, and people would rather not find out, drifting away. when zitao finds himself in social problems he becomes to brash and harsh, and by the time he's realized he said something wrong he's brushing it off and walking away. it's hard to interact with problematic people when emotion and communication is foreign.
zitao is never really sure how to feel at times. he doesn't know when to laugh, or how to laugh if something is genuinely funny, he doesn't know whether to take something seriously or brush it off, and he doesn't know how to show interest in people he actually likes. his meager list of friends would be a result. it's bottled up somewhere inside him but he can't process it in his mind and express like others can. he doesn't know jealousy or longing even if he's experienced it.
zitao wants to be a people person. he attempts to speak to different people each day, and while he usually doesn't succeed in appearing friendly, he'll try the next day and the next. he's dedicated to flexing his nonexistent social muscles among other things. he's quite the rule follower and justice enthusiast. lying, cheating, and smuggling really tick him off and bring out the chatterbox in him; he'd yap your ear off about why this is bad and why morals are important. chastising and scolding really come natural for someone who can't make small talk with the waiter.
he refuses to admit he has motherly instincts. he's great at lecturing people, he shows his love by terrorizing ( unconciously ), and stalks you in every way possible without you knowing. it's more of a result of insecurity, having less than five percent of human interaction, so what little relationship he finds with someone he's bent on keeping it. he doesn't want to be the fool who's the only one who thinks you're friends, nope, so he goes around following you like some clingy wife who thinks you're cheating.
history. the very first time they met was because seungwoo screwed up yifan's order. perhaps yifan wasn't in a good mood so he scared the out of little woo with flared nostrils, bushy eyebrows, and intense complaints on why his coffee was so sweet that morning ( yifan was just being sensitive ). being the submissive kitten he was, seungwoo could only cower behind the counter in terror; there was, perhaps, an utterence of "you're really scary mr. eyebrows" on seungwoo's side. nearby, zitao was having a snack when the whole thing went down and came over to calm the security officer. that was perhaps seungwoo's moment of being saved from the dragon by a prince, pun not intended. from then on seungwoo idolized his "ge", complimented him about everything, praised him, gave him gifts ( drinks, trinkets from the duty free shop, movie tickets- ) and clinged to him at every given chance. at first zitao found it really annoying, "i have druggies to slap" tao says and often pushed seungwoo and his "ge's" away; seungwoo did most of the talking, in which consisted of tao, zitao, and huang zitao. sometimes they had small mandarin lessons, which tao didn't mind too much, and he got free coffee, each one a little different.
eventually it became a routine to see seungwoo spilling with adoration for him everyday and grew tolerant of this "one-sided" friendship. he started to enjoy the skinship, basking in seungwoo's warmth when he clings to his arm or completely drapes himself over him; occasionally tao'll brush his hair out of his eyes, or wrap an arm around his waist to protect him from the crowd. seungwoo still adores and clings to him in the same way, but zitao is slowly finding it harder and harder to consider seungwoo as just his "adopted puppy". but seungwoo takes no notice of that, or the growing ache each time they part.
relationship status. "i'll put up with you because i think you're a cute i want to protect" kind-of friends on tao's side; seungwoo says "prince charming is my bff back off or i'll unleash these unknown feelings on you"
back-up love interests. yifan, baekhyun
comments. i had more fun with this than i thought i did and a lot of it revolves around zi ing tao and his cool image being smashed by woo's cutesy vibes jk i really love how seungwoo turned out considering i based his personality off his love for tao and then branched my way to his daily life, then personality, and lastly his background. i hope you love him as much as i do!!1! also, i didn't know if having a male oc with exo as a love interest was comfortable with you, so just say so. u w u;;
