nickname
kihyun is a common name. call me tk.
kihyun thought the name was pretty cool and hence wanted everyone to call him that in his childhood. it worked out since there was another kihyun in his class at the time but since the nickname had grew on him he kept it. though anyone rarely calls him this nickname in monster inc. if they do, he'd instantly take a liking to them.

the star boy is lost in his own universe
given by most of his friends in highschool, kihyun was entralled with stars and planets and whatnot. it was actually quite a surprise that kihyun was known more for being in the astronomy club than playing video games in highschool. and due to his fascination, it lead to the cute nickname.  

sir sleepalot is not available atm....
the monster inc approved nickname for kihyun, sir sleepalot. it's pretty self-explanatory as kihyun is known for notorious naps around the building where he's sure baekhyun would not find him. the parking lot, under the front desk, inside the closet. there's not many places where kihyun wouldn't nap.

style everyday is sweater weather for this star boy. his wardrobe consists of baggy, colourful and quirky embroided and patterened jumpers and sweaters. it adds to his carefree style, one might say. along with this style of tops, kihyun would opt to wear skinny fitting jeans (usually ripped) and with iconic shoe brands such as converse or vans. if he isn't wearing his trademark baggy sweaters then he's back at it with the baggy clothing but in a different form, a loose fitting t-shirt. to be frank, kihyun isn't a style icon - just think of him as a lazy college student (just pretend he attends one).  if he isn't wearing his contacts, kihyun would wear his buiky timberland glasses though it's only reserved for night time purposes only.
 
personality trait(s)
hufflepuff ⭐️ passionate, authentic, honest
aloof, shy ⭐️ typical gamer ⭐️ independent
slow, naive, conservative, cute ⭐️ scorpio
elaboration 
socially aloof, yet more relatable than you think - it's got to be tae kihyun. he's one of the youngest working at monster inc and that simply sums him up. a little bit naive, a bit slow and certainly a sheep under a sheppard's guidance. kihyun is certainly shy on the inside, most of his life he didn't even know he had the courage to even talk to his teacher due to how shy he was. 

[ kihyun speaks in short, blunt and concise words which makes him appear as if he were confident or even up himself. it may seem that he's in control of his life but he's really not. ]

once you have a conversation on the topic of whatever kihyun is interested in; whether it be games or anime or even food (and cough cough sana), you'd be witnessing a new side of him. more talkative, in a sense that he seems like he's enjoying himself, a small upwards twitch and a beautiful sparkle in his eyes. though most of the time, he's conservative and quick to avoid most things on purpose. though that's not to say that's the way he deals with people, it's how he deals with problems (or the prospects of it in the future). since he had been by himself for most of his childhood, kihyun strives to be as independent as he can to more or less prove to himself that he can cope by himself. well, trying to be independent. 
 
background 
kihyun's childhood was not the norm. with his parents having a job which required them to continuously travel overseas, kihyun was forced to stay under the surveillance of his uncle and auntie in the smaller suburbs of seoul. it wasn't great for him, after all, knowing that you had parents that could be there for you but aren't made him very insecure from his peers, who all so often taunted him about his absent parents. 

so, halfway through kihyun's middle school years comes along the annual student exchange from his sister school in japan. lo and behold, he was chosen to house the student. of course. kihyun was against the idea of having another student (let alone one from another country) stay with him as he has trouble generally communicating with others. of course, life has its ways. minatozaki sana was only a year older than kihyun, though her amiable yet relatable personality won her kihyun's heart in the most platonic of ways. she, throughout many of her days in korea played her copy of whatever game she had on kihyun's gaming console, sharing many sleepless nights with him. and although kihyun had no interest in gaming (the only true reason he had one was because it was his parent's gift to him during that one trip from god knows where), kihyun soon grown fond of it and it became his hobby even after sana left back for japan. there was no doubt that she was the one that broke him out of his shy shell during the duration of her stay.

"lightning is so pretty, isn't she?"
 
"is that the reason you woke me up sana? to tell me that she's pretty? hurry up and put final fantasy into the playstation already!"
 
when highschool was over and he had finally went into his new abode, he had forgotten most of his memories of sana (though there was no doubt that he did remember her looks and laugh from mere years ago). so when he walked into his job for the first day, walking meekly behind shiyoon as the design team's new intern, he was simply and utterly shocked to see the japanese woman - elegant, slightly more mature (but still cute) and there in person, kihyun froze. 

"oh? tae kihyun is that you?"
like is such a common word,
not enough to express my feelings
 
lifestyle 
once kihyun had graduated from school, he knew it was only a matter of time before his relatives had kicked him out of their house. so, which a handful of money which he had originally planned on for using on university, kihyun managed to rent a small studio apartment in the gwangjin district.

it's tiny, but it's bearable as there isn't much kihyun does in his home anyways. a giant flat screen that serves as a television and the display for playing much of his video games. there's a microwave and a portable stove near where the sink is and most of his food is ramyun and snacks along with stacks of soft drinks and ice tea. in the far corner of the room, adjacent to the flat screen is his mattress. no stand. just a large mattress as kihyun has a tendency to roll around in his sleep. the other corner is used to store all his clothes.

he spends most of his nights playing games and cooking packets of ramyun or take-away food. if he has spare money, he'd go downstairs into the casual streets of gwangjin and buy a decent meal for himself. or maybe a few more posters for his walls that are littered with polaroids, photos, posters of musicians-new and old, and gaming or anime characters
 
trivia(s)
⭐️ he's a true night owl at heart, which is why his naps take place during the day.
⭐️ if he didn't have a crush on sana, kihyun would've proudly stated he was gay for prompto and noctis from ffxv 
⭐️  never mind that, he's a proud biual
⭐️  a closet fanboy of any kpop group 
⭐️  lowkey that guy who yells out his bias's name during the outings outside music shows. 
⭐️favourite food is juicy ribs, instant ramyun and korean bbq. 
⭐️ favourite drink is cola ramune and hot chocolate.
⭐️ he hasn't gotten used to caffeine
⭐️ the real reason he hasn't applied for any university yet was because he flunked his final exams. 
⭐️ his rent is actually quite pricey but his pay from working at monster inc covers most of it and its also because he rarely uses anything in his house except for water and electricity for playing games. 
⭐️ one of the polaroids on the wall is of sana and himself back during middle school

⭐️ he frequently stars at the sky

Q&A
Q&A
 
how were you hired?
to be fairly honest, tk didn't even want the job. pressured into finding a job to sustain his now adulthood life, he handed in his resumé to every building there was. one, of course, was kim&co. at the very bottom of his resumé was 'looking for experience' and he was eventually handed into. 

kihyun guessed that he had made a good impression at the reception where he had handed in his resume due to his confident aura. 'jokes on you, i nearly shat my pants after realising i handed my resume to one of the biggest companies in korea'. honestly, he would have been fine with working in mcdonalds' but an internship is okay...

'wait i am getting paid? he is
 
how's the office life?
in the early mornings, he buys specific orders from the designs team for breakfast and coffee so by the time the team arrives (usually around the same time hopefully) they'd have their coffee or breakfast on hand. he usually has it memorised, lies - kihyun has the complete list of all the preferences of the designs team on his phone. 

kihyun is a religious gamer, and it wouldn't make sense if he weren't playing some sort of game everywhere he went. though, that's during the day (est. 10am to 5pm). when he isn't discreetly playing games or lulling over baekhyun's tedious tasks, which in kihyun's mind is actually quite simple and easy, he finds himself napping - staying true to his monster inc© approved nickname. 

though it truly that kihyun has to stay behind until either baekhyun or shiyoon goes home as they are hardworkers and don't clock off until the latest hours of the day as he usually finishes his tasks earlier than what is was supposed to take which is why baekhyun gives him more work; for instance see teaser five 'the chart'.  
 
on coffee runs, what do you get?
kihyun suffices enough energy from the canned coffees' he binges on so actually getting coffee from an actual café is a no-go from him though on particularly hot days you could see him drinking a toasted white chocolate crème frap.
 
tell me about your company dinners.
he would definitely be, no - he is, the one ordering as much food as he can without earning a grudge from whoever's paying. as someone who can barely cook and all he has is instant foods, kihyun certainly takes up his opportunities in this department. "if you don't want it, i'll have it" he grumbles, mushed rice threatening to fall out of his mouth as he points his chopsticks haphazardly to the untouched plate.

then, what happens if tae kihyun gets drunk? it's fairly easy for his inexperienced to do so because he's lightweight. one cup of soju is all that he needs to get incredibly intoxicated. if it happens that if no one else pays for more meat on the grill and kihyun is somehow drunk, he'll lay his head on the table and cries silently. 
 
i heard that you're chummy with sana, can you tell me more about them?
to kihyun's defense, he did know sana well back in middle school so connecting with her (for the second time) was not a hard feat to accomplish. he'll blush at any sort of indication of an intimate relationship between the two. they're good friends. they do most things (out of work) together. however, it doesn't make up for the awkward interactions between the two. 

"yeah, sana-noona is pretty cool i guess. we like to watch anime together at 3am at night and play at arcades to win those cute sanrio plushies."

"kihyun-ssi, you seem to be with her often. also you called her by her first name?"
 
"a-ah i meant minatozaki-noona!"

tldr : they're good friends but people misunderstand their relationship together which is what makes it so awkward.

if there was someone in the company that kihyun truly feared it would be shiyoon. he vividly remembers the scrutinizing gaze, though more like a hateful glare at most, during his introduction and the choke when she had drank the wrong coffee order that he had given her by accident
(to kihyun's defense, shiyoon had simply muttered something about green tea and so kihyun ordered a green tea latte)
