BACKUP: lee seunghyub ( n.flying )
APPEARANCE:
standing at 5'11" ( 181 cm ), the man exuded the vibe of a monarch. despite his lethargic attitude, most could not help but notice the grace that came with his gestures. it didn't help that he had the visuals to back it up too, with his charming and foxy eyes, the lith figure, and fair unblemished skin. it was also a well known fact that he was practically hairless outside of his scalp and didn't have to worry about shaving at all.
STYLE:
he was not one to care about what he wore, never really bothering with it and donning whatever he oculd get his hands on. the thing was, 'whatever he could get his hands on' were branded clothing that looked good on him. and even if that wasn't the case, he had the skill to make what he wore look good enough. but yes, he could care less of what he wore but his parents always provided him the nice clothing that wouldn't make him a walking fashion disaster. howeer, he was also one to pick the looser, comfortable, and easy to wear clothing ( such as sweatpants over jeans ).
+ creative; adventurous; confident; flexible
= honest; freewheeling
× self-indulgent; escapist; lethargic; aloof
PERSONALITY:
he liked to weave ideas, interconnecting the treads and forming worlds with greath depth to it. he was one to build, one to create, with his imagination bursting out as he formed ideas. it showed in the music he composed, the lyrics he's written, and in the way he viewed the world. it helped that the man had always been one to dare, to not let the limitations of fear or the idea of messing up to hold him back as he lets his creativity run rampant. he's a venturer that would fearlessly pushed himself forward and experiment in order to create his masaterpiece. he would always try and try again, because failure was merely a lesson to bring forth greater creations to him.
he was confident in himself, never flaunting it or coming off as arrogant—but rather, he was one who knew what he was skilled at and believed in it. he was one to know what he was good at and state with a tone that made it sound as if he was stating mere fact that yes, he excelled in such things. it was an admirable confidence that showed how much faith he had in himself and made you believe easily that he was what he claimed to be, the kind of confidence that made him seem like he was someone of higher status and the fearlessness of a hero in adventure games. another trait of his was that he was flexible, adaptable to the situation at hand and willing to try out anything without minding much. he was one to compromise when needed to, and willing to do whatever as long as it would work well with his current mood. he may not give everything away, but he always was willing to go along with things enough.
honesty was something he exceled in. he did not lie, did not sugarcoat, and he would bluntly state things when he felt like it. you trust in his words because you knew he did not lie, so when he tells you about anything it was easy to believe in it. however, at times he could be too harsh with his truths, never holding back when it came to his opinions. moreover, he was a free soul. much to the chagrin of people who were supposed to hold authority over him, the man did not let rules to hold him back. sure, he followed them most of the time because it was less troublesome, however there were cases when he would not bother and go off to do his own thing because he merely felt like it. sometimes he skipped dance or vocal training because he would rather compose his own music, or other times they'd ask him to keep quiet and hold back his own opinions but the man just ended up doing the opposite because he thought it wasn't worht it to listen to their orders. some people found it admirable and charming, because he was one to be never afraid of images and to the people who cared about seeing someone on screen being purely just them, he was a sight to behold. especially considering the environment of the business he was in. other times, people just wished he wouldn't be like so because then they wouldn't have to fear about him causing troubles ( if only they truly knew him, because then they'd realize he just hates causing troubles merely because it was too hectic to deal with ).
self-indulgence had always been one of his defining traits. people knew he was talented and had skills in many fields. there were times when younghae and ryeojin would speak of their frustrations about him because he had talent, the capability to even be more than he already was and to possibly become the center and so claled golden boy of the group if he had just put the effort into his other skills. however, that was not the case, and instead he focused mainly in rapping and composing, sang his best only when he was on his own and not meant to be heard for the public or enough to appease ryeojin, and danced well enough to be on stage. the boy only put his all into what he loved most, into the things which he deemed to be interesting enough, and never to the ones he did not like or was interested in. a lethargic soul when he wasn't involved with something he loved. the blank expression he held whenever he was not involved with anything he enjoyed, his suggish movements as he walked from one point to another, his overall demeanor made him seem so lazy. there was still the confidence, but the will and inferno the spurs when he lets his creativity to shine would sputter and die out, turn him into a man who would rather do anything but be where he was and barely speaking or acting, just because he couldn't bother to put into any effort into even such basic actions.this was frankly the side of him that most people are used to, seemingly tired and not wishing to involve himself with others, always so bored of everything.
it was then that he could be so aloof, cold with his expressions and distant due to his lack of acting out. people may come up to him for time to time, but whether he responded or not depended on the mood and sometimes others would rather not bother with that. he barely spoke, barely interacted, mostly doing the bare minimum, because he simply wasn't interested in many people. it didn't help that he had the tendency to escape reality by fantasy. the man was too bored of the real world, opting to rely on fantasies to keep his interests but also increasing his distaste for reality due to the yearning of something more. he liked to incorporate said fantasies to reality, eyeing the world in a fantastical way over how it truly was. and with this, he found his boredom to weaken. however, it led him to be more dazed from time to time, ignoring others so he could drown in his imagination, and simply preferring the fiction's sense of entertainment over wht was out there for him in reality.
BACKGROUND:
● ● ● CHAPTER I.
he grew up a prince in his own small kingdom. he was of royalty and had servants that heeded his words. he had people ready to make his wishes come true with a mere command. the little prince seemed to have all the luxuries, and yet his castle was locked under unseen bars that separated his reality from the world outside. a broken connection from the commoners and other royalties, he was but a young boy alone with the golden spoon that left a bitter taste in his mouth.
the little prince did not even have the warmth of his parents to comfort him. his servants were there to do their jobs and he could not connect to the men and women of lower class and much too old for him. his teachers were there only during their given time and meant to never bond with him. puppets of his parents were what they were, strings attached to their wealth. and his parents were merely people who cared too much to the point that their sweetness was toxic to him.
he’s alone in his castle with his imagination as a friend. he closed his eyes to see a world he could live in, escaping from overbearing loneliness with a childish mind that set everything to fit his needs. a little prince who seeked freedom but had only his own mind to rely on.
if only his dear brother that was too much of a stranger to him had not ran away and lost his breath then maybe he would have not have to be locked up like so.
● ● ● CHAPTER II.
he likes to think that way, way back, he was a sly and cunning fox that was really smart. so smart that he could get his way with a few words and a whole lot of eloquence. that he earned his right to command and dominate because he was that great. but the only thing about him that was foxy were his eyes and the only reason he had his way was because he was a prince treated like fragile china.
it’s monotonous, a clockwork that gets too dull as the tick tocks became too constant and repetitive. one time, he threw a rock at the grandfather clock his father rather liked because of that. his father got mad but unabashedly and blankly, he admitted it was him. a part of him had been amused to see the raging inferno sputter out, turning into flickers of embers and a flustered reluctance. he got away with it, of course, and he found himself quite bored with the obvious reaction. did the world wish to give him everything that he needed? was he perhaps a character in his own fairy tale? he was the little prince after all.
it was unbearably dull, too desaturated, and sometimes everyone’s faces started to merge together and it’s only barely that he could recognize who his parents were. the young boy did not bother with who he called for anymore, and even then he rarely asked for anything. jis behavior in learning deteriorates, and yet he still excelled in english, literature, and korean.
perhaps that was when anyone could see him most a live. a light litting up in his eyes, back straightening and focusing his attention more clearly on the subject. to the staff of the little prince, it was obvious that the boy had a fascination with writing. the walls of his room were scrawled with his words, some of them were as expected of a child but others were rather unnerving due to the darker topics or more matured ones. there were unsettling tales which revolved around him, horror stories of the staff that he sometimes listened to for the sake of amusement ( his favorite was wherein he was working under the orders of devils and trying to summon something from it ). it did not help that he went off on nightly walks and sometimes deliberately scared them because he could ( and because he’s the little prince with no one wanting to revolt against him ).
but there’s only so much his home could do until he got too bored of it all. so when his parents returned from their latest trip and he was of age to enter high school soon, he told them he wanted to go to a public school this time. the retaliation he met from the adults lasted for about a minute ( a shock to him who expected them to take even shorter time ) before they cave in and let him be. good thing to or else he’d bring up the “guess i’ll run away then” card. it’s unfortunate how easy it was to manipulate them sometimes, simply because it was too boring.
ah well, in the end he got what he wanted.
● ● ● CHAPTER III.
high school seemed to be what may be an exciting adventure with more variables to make situations interesting. he expected monsters and curses, woven tales of deceit and the painful atabs from the back, the winning protagonists who went from zero to hero. he had so much expectations and interests the first few days, until everything just seemed to fall to routine and he realized that the world there was just as boring as back home.
the teachers in here had the same sleeping spells his previous ones had and that did not help him from slowly dying from the dullness of it all. he mourned for his broken expectations and decided to just roll with it again until he got sick of it once more.
but it seemed life wasn’t so cruel to him at all. in fact, he realized that the fates always was happy to please him and give him something he wanted ( even if he didn’t know he needed that at first ). and what seemed to be the gift given to him by the greater beings? well, they gave him a boy named yoon minsoo—the most popular student in their class with his handsome face, great intelligence befitting of a budding doctor, and overall perfection. except, he saw emptiness in the eyes of the other, a yearning for something which he could not gain. and it was in that moment their gazes locked and he could hear the harmony that played as their eyes met.
only one thought rang in their mind.
“ ah, are you wishing for something you do not have too? ”
● ● ● CHAPTER IV.
no one expected them to become close friends. not when minsoo seemed so perfect and he did not seem like he wanted to bother with anything at all. a lot thought that minsoo was trying to get him to be friends because it never seemed like he listened at all, but they both knew that he was and if they knew that then he did not need to bother with dealing with the background characters’ opinions. minsoo liked to laugh that laugh of his ( one of chiming bells during a fine spring day ) with how he told his views about the world and the people. because he did not think with reality, but instead he saw it the way he liked it to.
minsoo talked the most for them, and a few times he had put effort into putting his own input into the conversation and the other had readily cherished such moments when it happened. there barely was a time when he initiated the chatting, but when he did, minsoo would listen attentively and never speak because this was the most one could hear the soft, mellow voice of his which minsoo had claimed to be able to soothe one’s soul. in all honesty, having another to listen to, being free in this moment where they weren’t trapped by the world ( him with the dullness of the world which tortured his soul by giving him all he wanted, minsoo with the expectations of others and denials to seek out and achieve the dreams he truly pursued ).
he was the only one who knew what minsoo really wanted to be. his friend wished to be a star on the stage, even when he was lacking in his abilities as he clumsily danced to the choreography of other dancers, stumble over his words when he rapped, and voice cracking when he sang. even so, he told him good job and that he did well ( which had been so much more than anybody else did, who only wished to push the boy to what he was truly talented at ). admittedly, he rather loved to write lyrics and sometimes he found himself composing music, getting music lessons, and preparing songs for them to sing and rap to and pretend for a moment that they were on stage together to do what they wanted.admittedly, there’s more natural talent that graced him, but they both knew he only acted upon it because of minsoo who he had believed to make the experience more exciting.
other than that, life went on with the monotonous cycle, and it had been enough for the two, who met each other the first year in high school. everything seemed right and perfect, even with all the imperfections. for a moment there, he believed in the fairy tale life they lived in.
( until reality slams in once again and for once life finally decided to not give him what he wanted. )
● ● ● CHAPTER V.
with graduation looming over them came minsoo bearing bad news. every story had its ending, and they were no different. he just wished it had been a fairytale instead, because maybe then it would have been a happily ever after.
because minsoo was going abroad after this, to follow everyone else’s expectations and pursue the job he was so talented in. minsoo was going to abandon his dreams for his family because he knew how much the other cared for them even when they pushed him into a direction he did not want and had quite the conservative mindset. these days where they stood together and dreamed, build up their own world away from reality, and had each other to escape from it was coming to an end.
and even with such a conclusion to their moments together coming up, they continued their routine and prepared their final song together. the day of graduation, minsoo had convinced his parents to let him spend time with him for the rest of the day. that day, they spent it on going to gis home and to the music room where they sang together and he would talk more because he knew minsoo doesn’t want to forget his voice. minsoo even asked if he could record it because he needed ‘coping mechanisms’ when things get too stressful for the up and coming doctor. he lets him, and they continued the day just like that.
but as the sun fell and the night sky took over, they knew there was one more thing they had to do. silence befell upon them, the mood shifting as their eyes locked onto each other and an understanding was made. it was like their first meeting once again, except more intimate and this time the message is different.
i love you.
perhaps in a different world they could have been more, continue on forging fantasies and playing music to their heart’s content. but this was not that world, and they both knew that. in this world, minsoo was going to go abroad whilst he remained here. in this world, minsoo’s parents only wanted their child to be in a relationship with girls and would never want him to be with a guy. in this world, they have accepted the fact that it was best to end their tale here and begin anew, pursuing their goals and going with the flow.
it didn’t stop them from reaching out to each other, embracing and wondering what could have been. it didn’t stop them from giving each other a desperate kiss, and feel the bittersweet warmth and emotions that could have been more. it didn’t stop minsoo from crying and asking why everything was so unfair.
even so, they separated and he wiped the tears out of the eyes of the man he loved. he gives him a rare smile and promised him that he’d take his dreams with him and go onwards to sing their sings to the world. that just brought out more sobbing from minsoo, but his wobbly smile was worth it and they understood that to them this was the best they could do and the kindest thing he could have done.
minsoo left not too long after, gone to the other side of the world with great potential in him. it was also when minsoo truly departed that he felt the crushing loneliness once again.
● ● ● CHAPTER VI.
he went to pursue music afterward, entering a university and majoring in composing. he would be more closed off than usual, a part of him still clinging onto the past, but he still excelled in his classes at least. everyone was aware of his skills and talent in creating music, and the boy himself had even got the time to create music, rap to it, and posted it on youtube. most of his classmates were almost in awe of him, but there had always been a certain fissure between them that prevented them from truly interacting with him.
although, some teachers and other students didn’t like him for the reason that he slacked off too much on the subjects the young man deemed to not be truly worth it enough to put effort into it. even so, he never warranted the need for others to do more than just show the signs of distaste. after all, people did know he was the son of rich parents and didn’t wish to test their luck. it seemed fate started to like him again with how they made his life so easy after minsoo’s departure.
speaking of minsoo, they talk from time to time through online chats. however, it wasn’t much due to conflicting schedules and the fact that they were trying to maintain some distance as to not fall back into the feelings which once drowned them. and his life back in home still hadn’t changed much either. even when he was the only son to his parents, they were wary to do anything that incited the need for him to rebel or the sort, so they let him pursue the life of music despite the hesitation that seeped into their actions and voice.
and that was simply how life had been for him, until he graduated and reached the next step to his dreams. he became one of those indie composers and rappers, only sticking to youtube and doing it for the sake of self indulgence. he now had more skills in the art of music. he had the go ahead to be an idol and still had his parents trying to make sure he lived a good life even if he was to pursue such hardships.
there had been many companies, but he never was one to seek for the easy way in. whilst most others would aim for one of the big three, he seeked for a company which was unknown. perhaps it was an idiotic choice, but he had no regrets at all. after all, what fun would it be if he didn’t have difficulties to face for once.
* inarizushi ( he may have abused the fact that he had the luxury to eat such a meal at least once everyday. )
* nature ( the city's a bit too stuffy for his tastes, and getting out of it was such a breather. )
* cream puffs ( inarizushi was great and all but cream puffs are his biggest weakness and a surefire way to get him to smile and be more willing to do waht uou want instead. )
* extreme rides or sports ( something that was more adventurous or risky tends to spark a fire in him. if they ever get to an amusement park, he'd be tugging at eunseok's sleeve and pointing at the roller coaster with a childish excitment gleaming in his eyes. )
* heavy drinks ( he just didn't like creamy drinks or filling ones, he'd rather an actual meal or snacks over that. )
* repetitive music ( as in the sort of songs that were just repeating over and over again or have only one line of lyrics over the same melody over and over again. he liked having depth after all. )
* doctors ( it wasn't the doctors per se, but rather he could not help but see minsoo and the fate he had and it just dampened his mood whenever he saw soctors as he was thinking about htat. )
* authority ( it wasn't his fault that following the lawys and restrictions would go against his wants and needs. so onbviously, he didn't follow rules well if eh wasn't the mood of being soflexible witht he others. )
* singing in the studio when nobody is around ( that's when he could, in a way, feel as if he was bringing minsoo with him to the studio to make their songs together. he only sings during those times because they were minsoo's parts. )
* writing ( as in writing in general. he made many stories and it's all stored away, despite it actually being really good stories. however he did not wish to publish it because it was merely f or self-indulgence in his case. )
* reading fantasy stories ( anything that was fantasy, he would read. may it be stories or even manga. still, his favovrites tend to be the fairy tales. especially alice in wonderland, that was his favorite. )
* role playing ( unknown to many, he was someone who had role played from time to time. there was even a time he played dungeons and dragons with others but he had never gotten the time to go back to that hobby. although, he was thinking of bringing temptation into it once. )
* playing musical instruments ( specifically the piano, guitar, drums, and violin in that particular order when it came from best to worst. hoever his violin was decent enough. )
* wringing his wrists when he gets bored and antsy.
* storing away money that he gained that were of the older versions to himself for the sake of amusement.
* the slight quirk upwards of one corner of his lips when particularly amused.
* running a hand through his hair when he felt tired.
* to not be able to be able to keep the fire of passion of others to continue burning on, instead watching it all flicker away like minsoo once had. )
* he composes a lot of music but a lot of the music he composed were kept to himself or 'thrown away' into his youtube channel. songs he was okay with goes to temptation, songs he was less than okay with headed to his channel, and the songs he truly loved or felt great potential in it were meant to reach peak perfection and kept to himself until such a day came. of course, they wre mainly the songs he had made with minsoo, and if e could, he'd release a solo album or put out a solo performance of the song.
* the boy had a different mattress from the others in the dorms, it was a lot softer and unsurprisingly branded. a very comfy bed that he loved to stay in but once he's out of it the others would try to clamor onto it and get a taste of it.
* he actually had a history with ballet and was good aat it but dropped it as he got bored of it. however, there were still moments when you could notice the influences of such in his dannces.
* despite being a composer, he was also his own producer during his youtube days. it was there and then that he learned how to properly produce music so that it'll sound the best it could be. self-composing and self-producing was a stretch of what people woould normally do, but then again, he was the sort to go an extra mile for something he loved.
* extremely lucky, would be the one with impossible feats of luck during variety shows and tends to get what he wants without doing much. everyone hates playing games with him because he's the lucky kid who would manage to win all the money and get the properties he need in monopoly, the one who fell away from being first in mario kart but right before the finishing line but got to first because of a blue shell, the one who would always get shiny pokemon, and even the bastard with a royal straight flush. no one liked playing games with him, period. however, it was very amusing to see what this luck ( bull luck as eunseok had called ) would do to assure his win.
* probably has a lot of fans demanding him to do asmr.
* always has an expressionless face on, although it softened up in the presence of eunseok ( who was also the one he tends to be mre emotional with ).
* the man is a killer in the of course game, he would snipe at you without any sort of remorse. a one shot kill and completely unaffected by the insults of others.
there was once a time when minsoo and him were so much more than mere friends, with their lingering touches and undying trust for each other, and the final kiss they had before the let everything go. minsoo and he had never met anyone so alike yet different until they saw each other, and ever since they shared dreams and all the pieces of them that they could never share with others for one reason or another. minsoo had truthfully been the first to fall for the other, because minsoo craved for someone to understand and be there for him more than anything. haneul had just been the person for that.
and together, they had spent their time singing their hearts out, dancing together like fools, and even rapping to the random beats which haneul would make. it was crazy to them, for minsoo could never imagine having such a time with anyone else who would have asked why he was doing something so idiotic when he should study to be a doctor. and for haneul, he could never imagine to find something so exciting and joyous in music and the life of being an idol until minsoo had shown him that.
unfortunately, minsoo was someone who deeply cared for his family and knew what they wanted him to be. they wanted him to be a successful doctor, one who would then marry a beautiful and successful girl too. and haneul was not going to give his parents either of that, so they had to let each other go. that was why minsoo went abroad and why haneul vowed to take his dreams with him and be an idol. when they had been seperated, they barely messaged each other due to the different timezones, the conflicting schedules, and the understanding that they still need to truly let everything go. they successfully managed to simply just be friends who had great care for each other, and being away from each other like so made it easier to let their relationship die down to that level.
however, haneul was also still very caring about minsoo. he would never fail to work on their song ( the ones he made when thehy had been together ) once every day. he would sing the parts meant for minsoo to himself when he could, and remininsce about those days before. haneul would sometimes think about how minsoo would be if he was there with him, but he kept such thoughts to himself. minsoo would always have been the first person he cherished dearly and nothing would change that.
his parents were the kings and queens while he was prince. they also spoiled him a lot but rather than becoming a brat, he merely grew bored of everything. he and his parents were that close, but it's proabbly because they were just so boring to him. they love him, but sometimes he thinks that they project too much of his deceased brother into him. ah yes, the older brother of his who was so, so young and got angry at his parents before running away and getting hit by a car. a tragic tale, but one he could only see as the reason he was locked up in his own castle.
that also made his parents so wary of angering him or the sort, as if he could rebel any moment, run away and end up like his brother. in the end, he got anything he wanted and more as long as he asked them for it, which he admittedly abused from time to time. however, he was also a child that did not bother with much and wasn't going to drive them bankrupt anytime soon.
haneul had always been the most closed off in any setting. he was not as popular as many others because he tends to keep to himself, remain quiet, and do as he pleased. however, haneul was interested enough in s because he knew the usual idol group didn't have such ragtag group of people put in together like so. it was a risk, and he had to respect their CEO for doing so.
they all had their flaws, and sometimes in his mind he liked to relate them to the sins that they seemed to represent. and as time progressed, he became more social and his voice wouldn't be such an oddity to hear by others. a lot of times he was merely observing them, but during those times when he noticed the members are having problems and it seemed no one else was aware, he would help. he also liked to keep the fire of determimnation to continue on, because he really didn't want another minsoo to happen when he was around.
although he was definitely closest to eunseok, and [ GLUTTONY ] liked to cling to him because he had a lot of food and money for it to boot. [ ENVY ] definitely didn't like him so much, though, especially since he seemed to be the embodiment of having everything he wanted and needed.
he didn't expect the ceo of uniq entertainment to be so nice, though by then he should know that he was lucky in getting into places with nice people he supposed. despite that, he couldn't really think of youngkwan as that much of a father ( better than his own, though ). a lot of times, it ended up being one-sided conversations on youngkwan's end but slowly and surely, he started to speakk to the older man ( much to youngkwan's joy ). there were times when youngkwan liked to ask about any ideas he had, though, because he was aware of how creative the boy could be and thought that he'd bring a flair to the group ( he was pretty sure he had suggested a seven sins idea once but he never expected the ceo to actually do it—and that admittedly made him respect the man for being so daring ). plus, youngkwan was the first to realize that haneul had a different method of handling, which was good, because they both knew haneul wouldn't really mind dropping out and seeking another company if he had to.
KIM JONGJIN, 27, HE'S PRETTY SURE JONGJIN'S CLOSE TO MAIMING HIM, MANAGER.
perhaps it was haneul that jongjin took the longest time to warm up to. this was because haneul did not put effort into socializing and was pretty closed off. not only that, but as manager, jongjin had to reign in haneul. unfortunately, that meant a lot of stress because haneul was anything but one to listen to the orders of others. jongjin was not amused by his attitude and tried to set him straight but it never worked and there were times when he was ready to go to youngkwan and tell him to kick the troublesome teen out but all youngkwan had told him to do was " haneul's someone you don't force to your methods, you should try to be more compromising and flexible with him. that's how you get him to start doing things. " in jongjin's eyes, that had meant spoiling the idol but he tried it out anyways. surprisingly, actually listening to haneul's opinion for once, he realized that haneul was truly willing to do things as long as he was able to do what he wanted or have something in return. cream puffs became something he invested in to bribe the younger man, and when he tried to convince haneul to train he now patiently listened to what haneul has to say before trying to get the best of both worlds with him.
HWANG RYEOJIN, 27, IF JONGJIN WANTED TO MAIM HIM—HE WAS READY TO TORTURE THIS BOY FOR ETERNITY, VOCAL COACH.
ryeojin wasn't sure whether he liked haneul coming to lessons or not at times. on one hand, he was sick of the man skipping lessons. on the other hand, he hated how haneul seemed to always hold back when he sang. he knew haneul had talent, it showed in the way how he never made mistakes despite staying at a relatively mediocre level. and even when he told haneul point blank to really show off, haneul never did. training haneul became quite the chore, and ryeojin had thought the ceo was senile for having haneul to be a part of the final line-up. ryeojin only started to soften up to him when haneul came up to him to ask for help in his singing for a certain song. ryeojin had been stupefied when haneul came up to ask him that, and he was tempted to say no but there was a sincerity and passion that he heard in the boy's voice that made him pause and think that he wanted to see what the other conjured up. so he agreed and helped him out. there, he found out the true capabilities of haneul's singing ( and it was hard to impress him, but he could not help but be rather amazed—especially considering how he was always used to the lackluster vocals of the other ). moreover, there had been a softer and more hardworking side to haneul that he never saw before, and he knew it was because this song was for someone haneul had cherished. ryeojin may not be happy that haneul tried to hide his vocal prowess, but he could relent that haneul had his reasonss and seeing and connecting to this side of haneul had made ryeojin more understanding of the other ( didn't stop him from getting frustrated again because haneul went back to being lackluster after that performance was over ).
DO YOUNGHAE, 29, CREAM PUFF DEALER, CHOREOGRAPHER.
younghae had never thought he'd deal with a trainee like haneul. but younghae did, and sometimes younghae found his patience thinning with the lazy man who only ever did the bare minimum. ryeojin and he lamented about haneul's lak of truly utilising his talent one too many times already, but they have grown sadly used to it. younghae had managed to found out about the way to bribe haneul, though, and ever since he did—he had been abusing the idol's love for cream puffs to make him properly learn the dance. it may not work every time, but it was better than nothing. younghae did see the other side to haneul, though, when haneul came up to him to assist him with a solo stage performance. younghae had almost thought there was some ghost possessing haneul or that it was an impostor, but eventually he decided to assist haneul even with all the conspiracy theories flooding his mind. there, he saw a haneul that he never knew existed ( the one which ryeojin had found out about too ). but getting to know that side of haneul made it easier to deal with him, especially since now he didn't associate him to demons for being so troublesome.
KIM MINAH, 31, THE ONLY COACH THAT CAN DEAL WITH HIM, RAP COACH.
whilst the others suffer to handle a lazy haneul, she was used to the haneul who always came to her lessons, tried his best in rapping, inquired her for tips, and was overall pleasant. she had thought that haneul would be some horrible young man from ryeojin's and yonghae's description, but instead she got someone who worked hard and wanted to excel. despite her own vulgar speaking and all, haneul had took it with stride. heck, he did not even underestimate her the first time he saw her. instead, he respected her skills and would learn what she had to offer with ease. sometimes, though, she was a bit exasperated because the other coaches and even jongjin had designated her as some sort of messenger to haneul because of his sporadic appearances and she would tell him to get his to the others but she knew that the boy was not one to do such things. she quite liked him, she really did, but sometimes she wished he wouldn't be so troublesome.
ANUBIS, ??, THE CAT, TEMPTATION'S MASCOT.
the first time people heard haneul laugh ( which caused people to faint from shock or be simply mystified because it sounded liek the chiming of bells and no one ever thought that hwang haneul could even laugh ) was when jongjin stated the cat's name was anubis. when asked why he laughed, he simply smiled ( and cue the increase of shock because this was hwang haneul ) and stated "the cat's name is anubis---that's the egyptian god of ambalming and death, also known to have the head of a jackal which was a dog. " suffice to say, people realized that haneul enjoyed ironic humor. moreover, the cat quite liked him for his chill demeanor and food which he offered.
TRAINEE LIFE:
as a trainee, he was the one who was more closed off than anyone else. always drifting in and off as he pleased, always better off than others with his expensive looking meals despite him being a trainee, or how he seemed to just be so talented despite never doing much. a lot of times, he faced spiteful people who were not so keen of his status and 'easy' life, others tried to be his friends for one reason or a nother but he never bothered with them either. soon, there seemed to be distance between him and the rest which he had already expected to happen anyways.
there was also the fact that his attendences for training was not the best either, only ever being perfectly present for minah's sessions. a lot wondered about why he was even bothering to eb an idol if he only seemed to care about rapping, but then again no one really knew about him so well to begin with. no one also was aware of his true capabilities in singing, only heard during the dead of night when he sneaked into one of the studios to sing to his heart's content of songs that he once had made with a person so dear to him.

"
* hidden vocal god of temptation, 2019, true;
no one expected him of all people to go on king of masked singer. moreover, no one expected him to have such a voice. when his identity had been revealed, fans went ballistic and newcomers to the fandom had thought he had to have been at least a lead vocalist ( much to their shock he was a lead rapper ). there were many demands for him to do a song where he would sing, but he had bluntly stated that he would not sing in a song unless he deemed that it was a song he must sing to.
the first time eunseok had seen haneul had been during the first few days of being in uniq entertainment. it had been late at night and eunseok had been training himself even more to be better, the best that there could be, until late at night. eventually he gotten to the point wherein he was satisfied and that was when he headed out of the training room and went back to his room.
or it would have been if he did not hear the soft melody of an unknown song and a lovely voice to compliment it.
now, eunseok had just gone through vocal training sessions with ryeojin and none of the other trainees he had heard there had such a voice, so soft and tender with the capability of melting one’s heart. curiosity urged him on, and as if he was possessed, he changed directions and went towards to where the music was being played at. it’s in one of the studios, door slightly ajar and probably that’s why he could hear the singing. bravely, he peeked through the gap and what he saw left him breathless.
hearing the music and soothing vocals, he had already thought was wondrous, but seeing the face that went along with it had been even more magical. it was as if, for a moment tere, he was thrown into some fantasy novel and had come across the sight of a great being, so beautiful and otherworldly, that led him to stand there, frozen and in awe. but that wasn’t all he thought, he couldn’t help but also think wow, he’s better than me. and that was the thought that sent him back to reality, shaking his head the rookie trainee tried to observe the male and wondered how he never saw or heard him. sure it had been the first few days and all, but by then he had already taken note of the trainees that he should keep an eye on and to be better than.
when the mysterious man inside the studio had his eyes flickered to him, eunseok had ran away as soon as possible. he didn’t know why he was, but eunseok thinks that maybe it was a good time to go back now.
( and haneul thinks that perhaps he should have been careful with the door. but oh well, whoever spied on him wouldn’t be that much of a hassle right? )
the two did not officially meet until a day later when rapping lessons were introduced to the rookies. it was then that eunseok spotted the face of the man that his thoughts had been fixated on. he thought it was strange to have not seen the man before, but minah’s sigh at the new face ( for the rookies anyways ) drew in the attention of the newer trainees “ you skipped on their lessons again haven’t you? you should really stop doing that or you’d end up getting kicked out. ”
a lot expected the mysterious man to be sheepish or apologetic, and yet he stayed calm and collected as he shrugged sluggishly. eunseok was merely trying to connect the dots, but he still didn’t have everything to build up a proper image of what was going on. in the end lessons began and there, eunseok found out that not only was this mystery man who skipped training, sings beautifully, and was handsome to boot, but he was talented in rapping as well. eunseok had always been someone skilled, but he had never met someone just as talented and seemed to be capable of making it all so effortless.
later, when lessons ended and the charisma and force that made the man so talented seemed to disappear as he slouched once again, sluggish and blank faced instead of intense and passionate. before the man could leave, he had headed to him and greeted him “ hello, i’m eunseok, what’s your name? ”
the man looks up at him, as he was sitting on the floor, and ye the way his gaze was it almost seemed as if they were on level ground ( or even on higher ground ) and it ticked eunseok off but he stood strong against it. after a moment, a silky voice was heard “ hwang haneul. ”
it was like a magic spell, the whole room quieted down. older trainees had looked at the two in shock, younger trainees were confused, and eunseok blinked at the change of atmosphere. the man, now known as haneul ( and emperor of the sky? even his name sounded grand ) stood up. being this close, eunseok noticed the outfit the other donned and he saw the brands as well and he was a bit mystified at the realization that was the other also rich?
next thing he knew, haneul had left and the others clamored to him.
( “ how did you make him talk? ” “ he never said anything to us. ” “ so that’s how he spoke… ” and more. and maybe he was a bit too proud in himself to have made someone so cold to speak to him. )
DEVELOPMENT:
01. haneul had been an anomaly to eunseok, someone who was so similar yet completely different. the frustration towards the older did not come in until later on, because it was interesting at first but to see someone with so much talent to be so lazy. it was as if haneul didn’t care at all. eunseok didn’t understand it at all, in fact he was so shocked to hear haneul sing during ryeojin’s session because it had been….
a disappointment.
he heard him once, before, and haneul’s voice as he sang had been like chiming bells, a beauty of it’s own, and eunseok would almost admit that he liked it enough that he wish he had it recorded and changed into his ring tone. so, when haneul came into ryeojin’s class to sing he almost felt giddy. however, his expectations were ruined because haneul sang monotonously and without care. it was severely lacking from the first time he heard him and he couldn’t understand why haneule would have deliberately made himself sound worse than he actually was.
when he had confronted haneul about it, he expected some sort of proper excuse but instead he hot a bland drawl of “didn’t felt like it.” the simple answer had shocked him, for eunseok had been someone who did things to excel in them and praised by others, yet haneul who was talented himself deliberately made himself worse ( and wasn’t he scared? scared to not be so great? ) just because he didn’t feel like it. eunseok couldn’t help but feel an anger, and the confidence which the other had bore despite doing things so badly had ticked him off even more.
when eunseok had began training to be a rapper, he had considered haneul to be the one to win against. maybe then, when he beats him that naeul would stop being so smug and learn to put effort into his work. so eunseok put even more effort into his rapping, more so than usual, just to win against the other ( and he’s not sure when it became about winning anymore, but it’s aggravating how haneul would impact him so much without even doing much of anything ).
sometimes eunseok would find himself heading to haneul, telling him that he’d soon beat him and that way haneul would be knocked off his high horse. haneul would say nothing, or he’d look at him curiously ( to which eunseok looked back defiantly ), but either way haneul seemed unphased by it all. other times, eunseok would sneak out at night, inspect the studio rooms and try to find the one which haneul occupied so he could hear him properly sing ( he’s not sure why he does it, but he couldn’t find himself stopping from doing so anytime soon ).
when eunseok listened to him sing, he’d feel raw emotions that he never expected to hear from the other. when he heard him sing, he couldn’t help but think he found out so much more about haneul than he’ll ever have if they have talked ( why was the world be so dull to you haneul? why did it feel so lonely to be at the top? why keep these sings to yourself? why? ). and somehow, having those pieces of haneul made him consider haneul more than just a rival as he thought, or thinking of him as someone so low. instead, the declaration to beat him had slowly become a vow of i’ll reach there, and you won’t be alone anymore.
the way haneul looked at him when he started to change made eunseok think haneul was truly aware of the hidden vow. he wasn’t sure until the one time—the first time—he had seen haneul smile. and it left him breathless in that moment, and the first smile came with the second time haneul’s voice rang and was directed to him
“ i look forward to it. ”
02. eunseok had been am inferno to haneul. so full of passion and a need to be the best there could be was the other. when he saw eunseok, he’s somewhat reminded of minsoo and himself, but unlike them—eunseok’s flames weren’t dying away, or left to be flickering embers. it was still burning brightly and sometimes he just enjoyed to watch him for the sake of seeing what he he never had ( because passion was too tiresome, and was it even worth it to be so when so many things did not interest him? ).
he’s not exactly sure why eunseok had been so fascinated with him, because sometimes he just couldn’t understand the mindset of eunseok ( yet at the same time, he does ). they were alike in many ways, like he had been alike to minsoo once. they’re all talented people that had been raised and given everything and yet they had turn out so differently ( he grew bored of everything and indulged in fantasy because he knew he’d get what he wants in the end, minsoo had been forced to pursue a life he never wanted but could never break free from because he loved and catered too much to others, and eunseok had grown much too proud but seemed to only be chasing after the praises from others ). it’s interesting to him, who seeked for anomalies as such and inspected it in fascination. that’s why he told eunseok his name after all, as he was interesting to him.
he’s had a feeling that eunseok was quite the competitive fellow when it came down to it, because in the end eunseok had to be the best. if he was king, eunseok aimed to be emperor, and eunseok was determined to reach that level. he’s not one to bother with such things honestly, and a lot of the times there were many things which they could not simply understand about each other due to the differences in their nature.
apathetic and passionate. freedom and authority. acting upon one’s desires and acting upon one’s talents. there were differences that set them apart, and he was aware it could be so frustrating for the other ( because he could never really bother to that point ). he did not fit into the mould which eunseok was used to, but perhaps that was also why eunseok was interested in him ( just like haneul was with him ). sometimes they heads because he was aware how eunseok wanted his own way but haneul was never one to blindly follow others and that irked the other.
other times, he noticed, were the nights where he would have been in the studio to practice and perfect the songs that were now purely his ( because it used to be minsoo’s too ). but he was also very much aware of the crack on the door, and the presence on the other side. he did not mind, even if it meant giving the other the pieces of him which he barely ever spoken about because it was too troublesome. he could trust eunseok to keep it to himself, just as minsoo had trusted him. it’s the sort of connection where unspoken vows, hidden meanings in their words, were easy to notice and he felt nostalgic.
then came the time when eunseok came up to him, eyes lit up with a different sort of determination and his unspoken message rang clear in his mind. his eyes widened by a fraction as he looked at the other, but seeing the sincerity of eunseok had melted off some of coldness and chipped off bits of the monochromatic painting for a skin he had. he couldn’t help the smile that showed itself as he told the other of how he couldn’t wait for the day to come.
03. they’ve become leader and member, main rapper and lead rapper, and possibly friends. at first eunseok was suspicious that haneul didn’t put his all, but haneul had told him that such was not the case and eunseok believed him ( because he knew that haneul was not one to lie, so he could trust him with mere words only ).
unfortunately, with the position of leader came a more demanding eunseok. and if one thing was for sure, it was that haneul only listened and followed others when he felt like it and deemed it too troublesome to defy. this, of course, caused friction and eunseok would always find himself telling haneul to do something and the other would not even bother. eunseok’s pride ( and heart ) ached at the open defiance and sometimes he’s so close to just violently drag haneul along. even when he had been introduced to the idea of using cream puffs to bribe him he couldn’t bring himself t do it because he wanted haneul to listen to him because it was him.
so, came the time when eunseok asked what it would take for haneul to listen to him, and haneul had looked at him, with the eyes he could not help but be a bit spiteful of ( don’t look at me as if i’m lesser than you, look at me as an equal damn it ). after a moment, haneul just asked “ do you like what you do because of it or because others like you for it? ”
there’s a pause and eunseok found himself rather regretting to have locked gazes with haneul because there was something intense about it, a knowing look and his throat felt as if it was constricted. the answer should be easy to say, and yet he could not respond. and haneul was aware that eunseok couldn’t say anything, because he already knew the answer.
with a soft sigh, haneul breaks their gaze and turned away, and having an afterthought, he added “ when you find the answer and solution to it, then maybe i’ll listen to you. ”
it’s become silent, but eunseok sits down next to haneul and he contemplates. haneul raised an eyebrow at him, but did not pry. and instead they sat in contemplative yet comfortable silence. when haneul shuts his eyes, he could almost imagine a certain other in the room alongside them.
04. haneul had always paid more attention to eunseok just as eunseok had paid more attention to haneul. eunseok’s need to prove himself to others had been ingrained to gim, but never did he really face someone as uncaring tobit as haneul was. and maybe that was why eunseok always wanted to be better than haneul, to be a leader that haneul could look at as an equal because he hates it when it seemed that there was still something he was missing to be seen as an equal. and when he got a question for his answer, eunseok found himself confused. ever since then he had been looking at haneul, trying to pick out what haneul was ( and he knew haneul does it because he wants to and likes to and yet it was still a concept he couldn’t understand ).
haneul, meanwhile, felt that he was guiding the other in a way. trying to help the boy so he would not crash and burn out. he wished to be able to keep the inferno in eunseok to keep on going, never dying out like his or minsoo’s because this boy could still shine so brightly.and sure, he did it in his own methods, in ways that made him still him. he was not letting this star turn into a meteor, he was going to fuel the flames and turn him into the sun.
and perhaps it was this focus on each other for their own reasons that made them start noticing too much about the other. by then, eunseok’s become the translator for haneul when he didn’t particularly feel like talking with how well he understood him now. it’s easy to see them next to each other because sometimes eunseok wants to bring more attention to haneul, by instigating challenges that the other doesn’t always accept because eunseok wished to beat him once ( and for the fans to recognize how talented haneul really was ).
LOVE STORY:
01. it’s little things that makes them grow, and there were times when eunseok wish he could bash haneul’s head in for being uncooperative. but other times he tried to truly understand the man that seemed to have been in his own world and he wanted in on it. it was at those moments where eunseok found himself strangely serene, reflective and trying to figure everything out. most of the time such moments happened when they were composing together, and then he could see the passion haneul had for the things he love and eunseok saw how differently the other would feel when he was doing something he truly enjoyed. and he wants to know, because all eunseok had been chasing in his life were praises and other people’s approval.
“ how do you do it? ” and he didn’t have to specify what he meant, because they both knew what he was exactly asking for. and when haneul looked at him, there was something softer in that gaze of his that made him pause ( because he never had seen the boy look at anyone else like so and it makes his stomach twist and fill it with a warmth he’s unused to ). it took the other a moment, but slowly, he iffered an answer.
“ i just see what i like, what interests me, and test it. i grew to be uncaring of others and just cared about what i want really. " simple words left his mouth, and he knew that it was was easier said than done but that’s honestly how haneul did it. what he did not expect was to see something more vulnerable to eunseok, who seemed so hesitant as he asked the next question but at the same time there was a growth in the trust and faith they have in each other when the other did bring up the question.
“ what if no one accepted? ” the me was unsaid, but haneul did not push it, instead looking at the other with great intensity that made eunseok felt to brace himself for haneul’s next words. eunseok wouldn’t think that haneul would gently placed his hands on his own ones, or the gentle grip that made him felt more grounded, or even how gentle his voice sounded when he reassured him.
“ it wouldn’t be no one, i’d always accept you. “
and that was the first time where eunseok’s heart skipped a beat and he’d look at the tender expression of haneul and burned it into his mind, and realized that haneul had become so much more to him.
02. eunseok had always been confident but there’s something about haneul and the strange feelings that made him nervous and wonder if it was possible to just tell him he may not be having such platonic feelings for him. it gnaws at him, and he hated how hyper aware he was of him.
he wasn’t worried of the other members snatching away haneul, though. haneul was different, and haneul reacted most when with him and that was something he was very proud of and loved to do. and he started to wonder, what he liked and didn’t like ( even though there was still that sense of trepidation of losing his throne, but then he remembered haneul’s words and it became easier once again to face through such trials ).
he wondered if haneul noticed the shift, that now eunseok looked at him with more interest, would let his touch linger, seeked him out more, and just his feelings in general. he’s not sure, but he wished that haneul was easier to read because even when he understood haneul, it had only been to an extent.
( and eunseok wasn’t aware of it, but haneul had his own thoughts about this too. )
03. it’s like before with minsoo somehow, but it was different because minsoo was minsoo and eunseok was eunseok. however, sometimes he thought that perhaps he was drawing too many parallels between them, but it's hard to not compare the two who had forged a special place in his heart. he didn't know exactly when it began with eunseok ( but then again, he wasn't sure how it happened with minsoo either ), but he was aware that i's always been a gradual thing, his growing affections that was. he was not one to have an 'oh' moment where everything clicked and hit him on the face, instead it was small things that became routine that made him notice the blooming feelings.
but a part of him tends to think that he did not want to hold eunseok down. not when he was made out of dying embers and eunseok was the blazing flames. he was not going to be like icarus who came too close to the sun, he was smarter than that ( no, he really wasn't—after all, he was doing everything but avoid the sun ). he just simply thought that eunseok was someone that needed someone as passionate, as interesting.
because hwang haneul was a dull character in the end, and he knew he could never match up to eunseok in such a way ( haneul never saw himself as higher or an equal to eunseok in such ways, he was far more lowly after all ). but he noticed, the way their dynamics shifted and how eunseok seemed to be reaching out for more whilst he tried to stay and make everything continue the way it was.
maybe he was being idiotic, but he just....he still couldn't accept it just yet.
he messaged minsoo of course, and minsoo being supportive helped a bit more yet....he's still wary. he thought that maybe the love was making him dumb, because it stabs at his brain and he wondered what sort of lobotomy was being performed to make thinking so hard to do.
he'll deal with it next time.
04. eunseok was far more impatient than he expected, because during one of the days when they were merely together with no one else to bother them, eunseok had finally let his desires win over the trepidation because damn it, he at least needed closure. " what are we? "
of course, the elaborations weren't needed because haneul instantly knew the true depth of such a question. and when he looked at eunseok, he noticed how his eyes were gleaming with determination. and in all honesty, he's not sure either. they were on a path to be more, but he sometimes just couldn't bring himself to go to the next step. haneul didn't like the way his throat dried up, but he knew he had to respond to the other. " what do you want us to be? "
another pause, before there was a shift in movements and now eunseok was closer, sitting by his side, so close, and daring as he lets a hand up to caress haneul's cheek. a deep inhale, and then the answer " lovers. "
" oh. " was the simple reply, and yet he could not formulate any other words. and he could feel the intense gaze upon him, but haneul thought that the focus to breathe was a lot more important at that moment. and even though haneul's sure that this was a bad idea ( the life of being an idol was hard, and in korea where people's opinions were more conservative, it was harder—eunseok didn't need that and such acts were simply too torublesome ) he couldn't help but look at eunseok again. and just as daringly, he put his hands on eunseok's face, looked into his eyes, and he could feel the emotions that were threatening to drown them both.
and it didn't take long for them to just lean their heads closer, because the unspoken agreement was present and clear to them. and haneul thought htat this was far more anti-climatic than he thoght it would be, but then again, it worked. because it was them, and reationships worked in strange ways. and having eunseok's lips pressed against his was a lot more nicer to think about than the lack of dramatics in his life.
( and this was sweet and unconditional, not of goodbyes but a beginning. no taste of anything bitter, and purely loving. and he thinks, that maybe this was what minsoo and he could have been but never was. and that was why life gave him eunseok to truly find the love he never had. )
STATUS:
currently group mates with a fixation on each other.
dating ( lowkey married talented brats )
a yawn escaped his lips as he looked at the lens of the camera, a dull gaze which did not suit the sterotypical viibe of a trainee finally debuting as an idol. there was a pause of silence, before the man drawled out an answer that didn't really satisfy the interviewer. "corona. hwang haneul. twenty-three. lead rapper of temptation."
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT DEBUTING?
another moment wherein the silence was thick as he seemed to mull over the answer, before he finally answered in his silky voice "okay."
he was sure the interviewer was getting awkward with his monotonous and short answers, but what have they expected? debuting jsut meant one step closer to his goals, and that was it. it wasn't that big of a deal.
I SEE. WHAT ABOUT YOUR THOUGHTS TO YOUR GROUP MEMBERS? HOW IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM?
"okay.....like nes most. members are interesting. "another short response, and he coul see the interviewer getting slowly more aggravated with him. too bad, she could just learn to deal with this. he was giving out answers after all.
DO YOU PLAN TO CHANGE WHAT RELATIONSHIP YOU HAVE NOW TO EACH MEMBER OR RETAIN THEM?
he tilted his head at the question, before he hummed in thought and think of his relationship with the other members. after all, he didn't particularly care about it now. plus, change was a s trong word, he'd rather let ecerything develop and did not thunk that he wished for any change in dynamics. "no. "
FAIR POINT. SHOW US YOUR CHARM, CORONA!
the interviewer was obviously getting flustered and annoyed, but he could not bring himself to care.the next demand by the interviewr made him blink, but other than that he didn't do much. instead, he raised a hand, recalled kakashi from naruto, and proceeded to raise his hand in a lazy wave and a "yo."
EXCELLENT! MAY I ASK WHAT YOUR ROLE IS IN TEMPTATION THEN?
"producer or composer at times, but nes does the latter mainly." was all he said, not adding anything more unique. because that was his role after all. and he wondered how long it'd tae for the interviewer to finally break. how sad, he wasn't even trying.
the fakeness in the intervewer's voice was quite amusing, but still his expression was blank. all he did was shake his head, got up, and leave. no more words were spoken and he wondered why interviews were so important when it was so boring.
lots of hidden scrolls and to see more rs u must scroll right!
i'M FINALLY FCKING DONE W THIS OH MY GOD. this is probably one of my longest apps to wtf i don't even know anymore---bUT YES I HOPE YOU LIKE HIM!!! this secretly a possible golden boy but is too lazy to act upon it so that's why he's at certain things and makes jongjin's, ryeojin's and younghae's hair go white. i hope you like the surprise that was the pictures cUZ THAT STAGE KILLED ME HOLY .
SCENE REQUESTS:
* the dance twin video being an actual solo stage performance during one of their concerts ( and nes being extremely shook by it ).
* minsoo surprises haneul by going to his fan meeting and that was the happiest anyone saw haneul to be. haneul actually beamed and the handsome stranger ( to everyone else ) was just as bright. they talked briefly when all the other fans were hurriedly taking pictures of such a rare moment before minsoo had to leave but told him to just call him if he had the time as he was having a free week ( also, jealous nes ).
SUGGESTIONS:
* alice in wonderland themed mv ( like boyfriend's bounce ) because haneul would totally make that.
* an arc for haneul would be when he felt he finally perfected the song meant for minsoo, he actualy started to put effort into vocal and dance training much to the shock of others. and afterwards, when everyone else had left, he actually approached the trainers ( and both ryeojin and younghae had been stupefied by that mere act ) asking for personal lessons. younghae actually thought for a moment that someone possessed haneul but haneul then explained himself to them. just telling them about how he had a song dedicated to someone he cherished and the promises he made with it, and why he was awkward with singing properly or on stage since it always felt that it should be minsoo's position and not his. in the end they did offer their help and it's then they see how hardworking he could be when he's really into it. then finally, he goes on stage and managed to sing the song dedicated to minsoo who would also be invited there by him much to the surprise of everyone that was not involved in this project of his.
PASSWORD:
* sinners;
one time during a v live or the sort of deciding their fanclub name, all haneul had offered was 'sinners'. the others thought that it sounded too bad for their fans but haneul merely shrugged and drawled "they've sinned the moment they decided to stan us."
in the end, sinners became a much too popular choice especially since fans these days honestly could not refute such a logical reasoning. haneul's surprise solo stage of him dancing ( please refer to the fdance twin video ) did not help deter that fact.
