WWW.SOLAIRETHEDREAM.COM/화유준 i offer him as tribute for collabs

it begins with a shot of the beach, where a black grand piano was set in the shallow waters. the sun of the early morning lit the scene, and there was nothing but peaceful silence. then, the image changes too give us a close-up view of a man with wavy brown hair ( yoojoon ), who's dressed down in a baggy white shirt, black pants and without shoes. we watch as the camera rotates as he moved, giving us his back view as he walked towards the  piano.

then we watch as he began to play the piano, the camera swiveling around him as he sang his heart out and was accompanied only by the piano. he remained in the spot, a raw scene of pouring his heart out in his singing and the playing of the instrument.

it is at the end of the second chorus that in a flash, everything but yoojoon disappeared in the scene, his bacl facing the sun as he began to sing the bridge, and then flickers of different shots passed by quickly ( another solaire member ( ? ), of him with the other boys, of him of everyone gradually fading one by one, uuntil finally he was alone and then—the sun ). as soon as the bridge ends, he began to turn around and run to the sun. desperate and stumbling until he falls deep in the sea, a hand reaching out to the light on the horizon.

before everything went to white, someone grabbed him and pulled him out.
it's quite obvious to the fans that stay here wasn't straightforward with what it could mean. with a generally empty scene, until they were bombarded with too many information as it reached towards the end. 

some predicted that yoojoon and the boys had once been together until they left one by one, and he was the only one who stayed. but it seemed that he longed for them but had kept on asking them to stay instead of moving on with them. it was only at the end that he realized that being stuck in this spot was not right, and that if he wanted what he wished for, then he must move on no matter how hard it was ( hence the almost drowning scene ), until finally he reached the other ( the person who saved him and why it faded to white instead of black ).

until they get more content, they are unsure if this was the true meaning, though.
there is nothing more mysterious than the sea, than what lied so close yet so far and vast to us.

FULL NAME: hwa yoojoon
NICKNAMES:
&; joon-ah, joon-ie, joon, etc.
shortened version of his name.

&; 4d, weirdo, alien, etc.
a certified weirdo, the boy was known for strange abits and manners that led him to gain such a nickname.

&; turtle;
the fans found it very fitting that his animal was a sea turtle, seeing how he generally kept to himself and seemed to go with the flow of things plus his love of marine life.

&; marine boy;
due to his large amount of knowledge of the sea, he was titled the marine boy. truly, he may not be the best when it came to most things, but if it's the sea or music, he prevailed.

BIRTHPLACE: gwangju, south korea
HOMETOWN: gwangju, south korea
ETHNICITY: korean
LANGUAGE:
&; native korean.
coming from the jeolla-do region, he's got a much friendlier tone despite his aloof disposition. at times he'd talk in a manner where he didn't properly refer to things ( like calling an item or person thingamabob ) and expected others to get it naturally he goes back to his natural dialect, but when he's required to talk in more professional scenarios such as interviews or when making songs, he'd use the more common seoul dialect. 

&; fluent english.
he was mainly self-taught through singing. a fan of many english bands, he wanted to sing their songs with perfect pronounciation. then from there, he began to want to be able to feel the song as well, so he learned how to speak the language.

&; advanced japanese.
much like the reason he learned english, but he's not as good because he focused on english first. he could read and listen very well, but speaking was still a bit difficult.

FACECLAIM: kim youngkyun aka hwiyoung of sf9
BACKUP: han seungwoo of victon/x1 or lee seunghyub of n.flying

APPEARANCE:
he stood at 5'10" ( 179cm ), a rather lanky form that showed how the man didn't really do much exercises or the sort. he's most notable for his wavy brown hair, long enough to cover the back of his neck and quite fluffy. he's got an odd birthmark by his collarbone that's shaped much like a turtle. 

STYLE:
plaid flannels over a simple black shirt and dark jeans were his usual go to, wih some simple sneakers that he could find. when it's hot, he'd just have the flannel be tied around his waist. sometimes he wored plaid blazers when it's colder, or a warm leather and fur jacket in winter with turtlenecks underneath. otherwise, his style remained pretty similar. he's just  simple guy and he preferred having a cardigan ready just in case.
 
CHAPTER
CHAPTER
ONE!
ONE!
hwa yoojoon was the son of dull parents, a businessman and businesswoman. he was the child of monotonous puppets of society, and perhaps he would have ended up the same. there's no trouble in his life if he walked down the normal path, much less so if he kept his head down and acted the same. and truly, he could have, but he simply was just not the same.

they're land dwellers, his parents, avoiding the mysteries of the sea that they could never ever figure out despite being so close to it. and it's not like he did not like them, that he did not love them like a child would with their own family, but it's the stark difference that wedged them. even if mother and father were sweet to him since young, gave him love and made him smile, he couldn't help but they just didn't think the same. and as it grew more apparent that normalcy did not suit them that mother couldn't be the perfect wife who did all the housework or father be the perfect husband that actually cared more and tried his best—

the land is crumbling, tectonic plates shifting, earthquakes growing stronger. he's stuck with nowhere to go, between an aggravated mother and a nagging father. he's starving when his mother's sick and his father refused to cook. he knew he loved his family, and sometimes there were wonderful moments, but watching as the world rumbles—he could not help but think this wasn't right at all.

he had no escape. at least, until he found the sea.

the sea that which called for him when he found himself walking on the streets, in the cafes or shops or anywhere of the sort. it's the harmony, strings, percussion, it all called out for him. it drowned out the noise of the eruption, and when he gets back home the sea's gone. back to land where there was only natural disasters. 

yoojoon runs from the volcanoes and back to his own room. he covers his ears and he tries to drown it all out with the sea. humming a tune he heard, humming a tune he made up, he desperately wished to be taken to the ocean where he could run away from it all. 

he drowned in music, the sea, and it's so much better than when the ground shifts to make him fall into magma.
CHAPTER
CHAPTER
TWO!
TWO!
he grew older, and he didn't really think he could fit in with his classmates. there really wasn't a place he felt that he could mold with, not when his own home was too much for him as well. the only place he felt safe in was the sea, of music that could bring him away from the land. the only times he showed interest was listening to the songs his classmates played, but even then he found himself preferring to keep locked away than with others.

instead the boy continued to escape to music. he began to find time on his own to sing, to learn instruments and skills from the videos on his phone and nothing more. it's a lonely endeavor, especially with parents who hoped he could be a doctor or at least have some sort of stable job in the future. but this was his only saving grace, when his parents argue and they don't heed him, when he gets too scared to connect with others because he gets anxious, when he's simply lost. he loved to sing, loved to play music, would quickly try to get a part-time job so he could get his own keyboard or download apps that he could make music with. it's hard, especially when he's on his own. however, even if he drifts alone, he'd try his damn best.

yoojoon's alone, but just because you're alone didn't make you immobile. he's got plans, and he'd be damned if he was denied of the fate to be a singer. even if that meant his parents would scream at him when they realized he stubbornly refused to be anything but a singer—or threatened to disown him, and still he would not budge. and that did happen in reality, but in the end his parents couldn't bring themselves to disown him. still, relationships were strained and he spent more time out than in their house.

he had no friends, he had no family, he was a lone existence trying to set up his own fate. even if he moved alongside them, he found himself walking in a completely different plane of existence. some may call him dramatic, sometimes he thought he was being dramatic, yet these were his feelings and he couldn't deny it.

he spends time busking, singing in the streets with equipment he bought and set up on his own. in the crowded streets, he made his own space and he played whatever songs he wished. ignoring for a moment, that he was on this treacherous land, but instead within the sea and his own realm. he drowns in the lyrics, embodied it, and he conveyed it all to the people who listened. then, people started to stop and surround him. they watched the teen as he cried his heart out to the world, a voice that which brought attention upon him.

he was alone, but even then he would try to prevail. he wished to sing, to bless music upon all as it did with him. he stopped studying properly, and perhaps that was foolish but he could not care anymore.

hwa yoojoon is a lone boy in a society that he could never really conform to, but the only thing that linked them together was the music they loved. the sea he dived into and thrived in. and to survive, he became one with it to mean something in this world.
CHAPTER
CHAPTER
THREE!
THREE!
hwa yoojoon's life before being a trainee was simply like this. he grew up with arguing parents, he was withdrawn and never made friends, he started to learn music on his own, high school was no different from his early years until he took up busking and suddenly people want to get to know the boy with an emotional voice. before he graduated, his parents divorced and his mother won the sole custody of him by proving his father's incompetence ( his own witness statements did not help, especially with how the main reason he could take care of himself was that his father simply would not if mother wasn't around ).

most children wouldn't be happy, but he couldn't bring himself to care. however, he's not heartless. some money accumulated from busking that he was saving for some fancier equipment ended up being used to help his mother and him out. and perhaps, it's because of that, as well as his own shining talents that soon his mother grew to accept him ( and yet a part of yoojoon was scarred, he remembered her harsh words, and now he couldn't open up completely to the woman that's been one of the many reasons he couldn't really be normal like everyone else ).

it's also because of busking that he did make more connections with others, being able to join music club and learn properly how to use instruments and in depth theory. he got into a band, too, and it was like a dream. being in a band was fun, being able to talk with people about music was great. he was able to express more, and he found himself opening up a bit ( because he always wanted it, that band that he could have been with to the very end ). it was unfortunate, though, that his band members had different dreams than him, but it was more than what he used to have.

life got better, and he supposed that the world wasn't so bad. when the land was peaceful, it could be as nice as the sea he adored.

then, as he was singing for the world to hear, scouters came to get him to their companies. after he graduated, he decided to take his shot. hopefully everything continued to look up for him.

( spoiler alert: it all went downhill from there. )
creative; diligent; insightful; witty
withdrawn; sensitive
disorderly; erratic; zany; pushover
hwa yoojoon had always seem aloof at first, with a frigid mask in place and being quite the silent person—it was quite hard to approach him. emulating the cold city boy look didn't really help either. so it's a surprise when one talked to him that they'd by greeted by the friendly jeolla-do accent. still, he was cautious and kept to himself, a boy used to being alone than being with others. never having a proper family life stunted his growth in socializing, and soon yoojoon became a man who preferred to not converse unless necessarry. it didn't help that he had been betrayed of his own dreams by the drummer of the band he was supposed to debut in ( for the boy who dreamed a band as such a tight knit group, it was a low blow ). 

despite that, though, it's very well known that he was a diligent worker with a creative mind. making music whenever he had the spare time, always trying to find ways to better himself in the art he loved, and even making sure he danced well to not be a bad performer despite his distaste for dancing. he put a lot of effort and heart into his duties. the young man was someone you could rely on trying his best no matter his own reservations about the work assigned to him, making him someone pleasant to work with. his creative mind had been long well known for those aware of his time as a busker or when he was in marine, with interesting arrangements and compositions—there's no doubt this man could go far. imaginative and expressive with his music, he lets his mind go crazy.

what most people didn't really know was the man behind such a reputation. of a sensitive soul that which was so in tune with others and understanding. yet it's because of that, that he became withdrawn. being with other people can be as wonderful as it could hurt, his parents being an example of this. he did not want to interact with others because he was rather afraid of aggravating them, and whilst he could soldier it on, hurtful comments or jokes hits him hard. moreover, discord in a group pains him more because it reminded him the helplessness of not being able to do anything but return to his own room and drown it out. it's also because of it, though, that he grew insightful and was able to convey so many kind of emotions to his songs. he was a man who gave wise advice, and he was a person who could sing with so much feeling put into it. it became a trait he was so proud of, even if he wasn't fond of its cons. if one asked his opinions of a difficult topic, though, he showed a surprising amount of insight and could really make others think. however, these traits were hard to spot when you didn't hear him sing or make music. 

he's a little bit odd, a little bit witty, and a little bit chaotic. it's not obvious, not really, rather it's something you note when you watch him closely. of odd habits, a different thinking, and the tendency to be all over the place when he's not focused on music. on variety shows, he'd be the one labeled as 4d. he's the kind to make strange remarks about things, and generally outside of his own dialect he had his own way of calling certain things. it sort of sounds like he's high on what the koreans called the eight grade syndrome, but really he's not being pretentious. he wasn't wild, but sometimes his focus gets to something entirely off topic and people wonder what the heck he's thinking. his mind's prety disorganzied, and most of the time it's related to music. an mc can ask him to introduce himself, and he'd reply back with a "wow, your voice sounds nice. with the right autotune  i can make a new piece of the ocean with it." there were also certain rituals and habits, like his fascination for the sea, the fact he must eat blood sausage ( sundae ) if he gets a creativity block, or how he had two phones ( one being a hand me down ) for the specific purpose of calls only or music ( and no chatting apps because 'it takes too much space' ). it's his own daily activities and actions when he's out of music making mode that made people think he's crazy, chaotic, and all done in such a subtle manner because he went about his own thinga quietly. 

he was not a fighter, not really. the kind of man that if you asked him to do something, he'd say yes because he didn't really wish to argue. growing up in an environment where it was a constant war made him detest such a thing, even if it meant that most times he'd just pile more responsibilities on his plate. it's only because people weren't always clamoring to him that he had space to breathe, but generally he would follow the rules. well, as long as he could make his music. the only times he stood up for himself was if someone threatened to take him out of the sea and leave him to rot on land. after all, music had been his only saving grace. he couldn't abandon what felt like his only anchor to happiness to be riipped away from him, but otherwise its easy to make him do things even if he didn't want to. the fact he'd work hard anyway did not help making others think it was okay to subject him into such a thing.

TRIVIA
TRIVIA
LIKES:
&; korean blood sausage ( sundae ) or innards of animals such as liver were his favorite.
&; music, music, music. it's his everything really.
&; solitude. mainly because, in the end even if it gets lonely, he felt the safest when he's alone.
&; the sea, he's got a bunch of knowledge and weird facts about the ocean and what lived in it. 
&; coldplay; his most favorite band and he admired them greatly. they're good deeds and music trully made him adore the band.

DISLIKES:
&; too many people singing one song, it always felt as if he couldn't relate completely because there'd be someone who could put his all into it, and then another who could never convey as much. one of the reasons he wasn't so fond of being in solaire that had a whopping amount of twelve members.
&; oily food. anything too oily felt gross to him, which was why he usually didn't like eating fried food unless most of the oil was soaked by tissue first.
&; dancing. even if he's gotten better to pass of as an idol, he did not enjoy dancing one bit.
&; silence. although he's alright with being alone, he did not like the silence. he would hum or sing if he could not hear a thing.
&; arguing. he hated fights and he'd rather avoid it as much as he could even if it meant it would tire him out more than to deal with any fights.

HABITS:
&; eating blood sausage when he's at a creativity block.
&; when he wants to go to sleep or work on something, he'd play the sound of the whales calling within the sea.
&; humming or singing when it's quiet no matter where he is.
&; he tends to refer arguments as earthquakes or eruptions, whilst music was known as the sea and those in the music industry were related to marine animals.
&; for some reason he always bought a new flannel shirt whenever he went out to clothes shopping.
&; if forced to eat fried food, he'd try to absorb some of the oil with a tissue first.

HOBBIES:
&; composing music.
&; playing the instruments, with piano being his main, followed by guitar and then drums.
&; singing, of course.
&; reading up on random trivia about the sea and the sort.

FEARS:
&; he's scared of getting into arguments, of fighting. it's the one environment he tried to avoid as much as posible, really.
&; to be rid off his music. sometimes he's scared that if he failed then his mother would force him out of the life he wanted. and even if he ran away from her and tried, that the world was just going to keep pushing him to fail no matter how much he desperately tried to make it a reality.

TRIVIA:
&; he's the kind of person who can go through a haunted house unphased. or sing in it if it gets too quiet. would 100% greet the 'ghosts' politely. 
&; he  had no sns and no messaging apps in his phone except for the standard sms. basically, he's not easy to contact.
&; he'd got two phones, one which was more up to date and modern that was meant for music only. it had songs downloaded in it, a bunch of his own recoordings, a music making app, and the sort. however, in turn he gave up the sns and messaging functions of it. the other phone is a legitimate nokia 3310 meant for actual contacting purposes.
&; okay, he did have a discord but only when he opened chrome on his laptop. it's still a task to converse with him, frankly, but his friends ( really it's just marine ) made sure he kept in contact.
&; always wears socks and beanies to sleep, he could not sleep otherwise.
&; he didn't know much stuff outside of the sea and music as they were his main focus since young. he didn't even know much tv shows of any kind because of it.
&; definitely watched a bunch of documentaries about musicians or the sea.
&; he's also the kind of man who could eat with ease as eh watch the dissection video of a whale. it's very fascinating.
&; he prefered to keep his voice soft when he spoke, and his words to the bare minimum. he saw it as a means to keep his voice in check and not strain it so he could still sing.
&; more tba.

marine's fc and talent twins are hoppipolla, a band formed within the show called superband. hwa yoojoon takes ha hyunsang's position in this case. marine consisted: ha seokhoon ( fc: kim youngso, guitarist, 1996 ) aka goldfish, yoo jaein ( fc: i'll, vocals/piano, 1995 ) aka seahorse, and ahn woodam (  fc: hong jinho, celloist, 1995 ) aka crab.

if there was anyone he could call his friends, it'd be his former band which was also known as marine. the four of them still kept in contact with each other even if they've parted from each other. the four formed an unorthodox band in high school that consisted of a celloist, two vocals, two guitarists ( that could become three ) and a pianist ( that could become two ). it was formed because yoojoon's skills were found by jaein, who had been friends with seokhoon and wanted to make a band. woodam joined them because he had issues with a member in the music club, and so the four created marine.

seokhoon was the youngest of them all. he was quite timid and withdrawn, but jaein had pulled him out of his shell. yoojoon wasn't one to be affectionate, but he cares for the guitarist like a little brother. he even lets the boy sleep on his shoulder or lap if need be. he looked out for seokhoon subtly and silently, much more behind the scenes than jaein or woodam.

jaein was the most social of them. in fact, you could say he was the leader of the four. always the one to set up their schedule and get them into venues, the man was an ambtious one. owever, he was also a gentle sweetheart. in fact, a part of yoojoon had seen jaein more as a mother during his high school years than his own. the other vocalist was the one who taught him to play the guitar and piano. even though yoojoon was more of a pianist, he spent his years in marine as a guitarist because he wanted to challenge himself more.

woodam also took a more parental role, more like that of a father than a mother, though. supportive, firm, and steady—he was the one they relied on when things get rough. woodam was always the one who gave reassuring pats on the back when he needed it. in fact, yoojoon tends to find himself telling woodam more of his honest struggles. the other wasa always kind enough to listen and provide his support.

currently, the four of them had parted ways to pursue their own dreams or occupations. woodam had become a famous celloist as he always wanted to be, jaein was now studying abroad to better his knowledge in music, and seokhoon decided to keep music as a hobby as he pursued to become a doctor. of course, here yoojoon was now debuting as an idol, which amused the rest as much as it worried them a bit. after all, they were aware of yoojoon's preference but he said he could deal with it.

the four joked that perhaps one day, they could do one song together or a cover of sorts on their tenth anniversarry or some other special occassion. truthfully, yoojoon wished he could be just promoting in a band with them but...they all had ended up going down different paths and so all he could do now was it up.

how are you?
okay.
rsicon1
eunseo
that's good to know.
...but if you need to talk, i'm here, okay?
it's fine.
don't bother about it.
hwa eunseo was yoojoon's mother who was born on 1971. she's a little bit stubborn and stressed out due to her job, and even more so by her former husband. now, she's much more calm and regretful as she watched her own son grow up so close yet so far from her. the woman could only support him now to repent her failure to have taken care of the boy when he was younger.

to yoojoon, hwa eunseo wasn't mother. she was eunseo. it's not him being rebellious or mean, it's just fact. eunseo was never the mother that she could have been to yoojoon, especially in his younger years. perhaps one day he could call her as such, but for now she had yet to earn it in his eyes.

it's a strained relationship that's been slowly mending back, but the harsh truth was that yoojoon was wary of her. still, she truly was the better one of the two, for yoojoon was even less caring of the man that was his biological father. he could admit that his mother had tried at least, and that's why he didn't mind giving her this chance.

many others would think he was disrespectful, that he was a bad child, but the problem was that they didn't understand. and yoojoon gets that, but it's all the more reason he didn't like to talk about his home life. yoojoon was different after all.

yoojoon was alone, and eunseo was one of the main reasons he began to feel as such.

yoojoon found himself thinking that solaire was a ticket to being on stage. whilst he did want to sing under the spotlight like the others did, he truthfully never wanted to do so in this manner. he did not hate s, but he had always been iffy with the system and music idols had to conform to. it was not his niche, not really, but he soldiered on.

it would have been more difficult to open up to the others had he not befriended hyunjae, the hyper male had pushed him to interact with the others more and he knew it was necessary. this was not a band, but these were the people he'd be spending the time with during his time in the music industry. and who knows, maybe they could form a sub unit of a band together.

solaire was a cage, as much as it was the closest thing he could get to what he had always wanted. but the people weren't bad and he thought, perhaps, things would be okay.

LOVE STORY:
they met in bbc, with yoojoon being a senior trainee and hyunjae a junior. in all honesty, when he first saw hyunjae he didn't see a bright sunshine boy—rather, he couldn't help but think how familiar those eyes of his were.

hyunjae was a star who didn't get a chance to shine, this was a boy who everyone raised up to the sky but let go of him so that he'd fall in the end. but the star did not flicker and drop, instead it stubbornly kept holding on in hopes to take his place in where he belonged.

yoojoon had only seen hyunjae once, yet he felt that he couldn't help but see a kindred soul. still, yoojoon didn't really interact so much with the other. after all, he's just assuming something for now. it's not a good reason to talk to the other.

their first, actual conversation was after singing lessons. the place where yoojoon excelled the most. as usual, when it's his turn he rid off the cold mask to succumb into his song. there's no doubt of his talent in this session, and the trainer once again praised him and lets him off easily. as he went back to his previous spot to watch the others sing, he felt a tug at his hand. blinking, he looked to his left and saw the new trainee that had caught his eye "you're singing is awesome! i could actually feel the song to the core of my heart."

it's not uncommon for him to gain compliments for his singing, but it still warmed his heart greatly. of course, he didn't let it show, merely scratching the back of his head as he mumbled a soft "thank you."

"i'm oh hyunjae by the way, what's your name?" the bright trainee continued on. he honestly reminded him a little bit of jaein. though, he's pleasantly surprised the conversation was sitll going on.

"...hwa yoojoon." he responded shortly, and usually it's by now that others would build some sort of opinion but hyunjae merely nodded with a smile.

not too long after, hyunjae's called up to sing as well. yoojoon couldn't help but pay attention out of curiosity, and when he heard him sing he found himself thinking that hyunjae was also a wonderful singer. he wondered, what kind of songs could he make to really bring that voice out.

when hyunjae came back to next to him, he told him "you're also a really good singer."

the smile he received from saying such a thing made him think of the sun. and perhaps, if he ended up in a group with someone like hyunjae it wouldn't be so bad.

INTERACTIONS:
i.
by the mask, oh hyunjae and hwa yoojoon were polar opposites. the aloof singer and the social moodmaker, the moon and the sun, the calm seas and the breezy wind. yet, it's the social butterfly that allowed hyunjae to interact with yoojoon. and as such, the two talk and got closer.

but, as they did so, they found themselves more aware of each other. yoojoon had always been sensitive, especially to music, and listening to hyunjae sing and his songs—it gave him more insight. and perhaps, when he felt the younger's eyes on him, he wondered if he just saw the same. because as different as they were on the surface—deep down, they shared more similarities.

it's also not embarrassing for yoojoon to find himself asking hyunjae for help in dancing. more awkward than not with other trainees, he found himself asking hyunjae for some help with the steps. and sometimes, when it came to musicality and singing, the two found themselves singing some songs or showing off what they could do.

hyunjae joked once that yoojoon's songs were pretty depressing, but yoojoon merely shrugged "music is the windows to our souls."

then, his dark gaze as deep as the sea locked into hyunjae's. "your songs, the way you sing, it tells me something about you."

hyunjae paused, and there was a moment of silence as they stared at each other. but yoojoon was unrelenting despite his pacifist stance. the younger trainee found himself unable to do anything but ask "and what does it tell?"

"...you hide yourself, but you aren't a liar. it's you, just as much as the struggles and sadness that you pent up." yoojoon bluntly stated, then, he poked at where hyunjae's heart lied. "you need to vent more. i do so with my music. and if you want to be roundabout...make a song or some lyrics, i'd get it."

yoojoon wondered if he made thngs awkward between them, but he stated his honest piece. patting hyunjae's shoulder he went back to writing a new song. then, right next to him he felt hyunjae sit close to him and start making a song as well.

it takes some time, but soon enough hyunjae handed him a piece and yoojoon silently took it. it's short, but it's to the point. 

all he could think was that—ah, he was right about hyunjae from his first impression.

quietly, gently, he wrapped an arm around hyunjae and said nothing. instead, he did what he did best when he wanted to express himself. softly, he began to sing.

"lean on me, when you're not strong
and i'll be your friend
i'll help you carry on...
"

they spend the moment singing, and although it may seem like practice, in truth it was a manner of expressing themselves. just in that moment, a stage where only they mattered.

ii.
hyunjae was beaming when he found out that yoojoon was going to be in the same group as him. and yoojoon? well, he liked being with hyunjae but...

he thought of him with a guitar, a pianist next to him, another guitarist on the side, and a celloist between them. he dreamt of a stage where he could sing enough to convey his emotions. he wished to be in a band not an idol group. but he already knew that once he agreed to this, that he had to it up. still, knowing he couldn't back out of it now just felt...it felt like he was walking into a cage because it was the best bet he got.

"hey, something wrong?" he snapped out of his reverie, the concerned eyes of hyunjae scanning him. and the difference between them suddenly struck yoojoon. because as similar as they were, their dreams were different enough to the older that it felt as if he was comparing a goldfish to a whale.

this was what hyunjae always dreamed of, but it's not what yoojoon did. and maybe it's a bit insensitive, but he wished that it could have been a band instead.

"...it's just hitting me now. i'm going to sing on stage but...it's not a band." he honestly told the other. and he fumbled a bit, hoping that hyunjae did not misunderstand. fortunately, sweet and kind hyunjae, had got him.

"well...there's always sub units, right?" hyunjae tried to cheer him up. and really, what made it hard was that...well, if yoojoon was in the other's shoes and they formed a band but not an idol group together—he didn't think he could really support the idea of hyunjae leaving to pursue his dreams if it meant his band or group was to wait longer for debut or to fall from it.

"...yeah, i signed up for this." he smiled, but he knew it was bit of a sad one as the tenseness on hyunjae's shoulder did not shift. with a sigh, he nudges hyunjae's side with his in reassurance.

"i'm trusting in you to help me not mess up." yoojoon merely intoned, but it seemed to life the younger's spirits up a bit more and that's good enough.

being an idol wasn't the end of the world, after all he could still do his music.

iii.
before and after debut, they've been close. it took yoojoon more time to be comfortable with the others, but from the start one could tell that he was most at ease with hyunjae. it's no surprise that fans begun to ship them, and hyunjae being hyunjae, liked to fuel the fans with more content.

frankly, yoojoon didn't really mind. instead, he naturally adapted to it so well he unintentionally gave the fans a lot as well. on hyunjae's birthday, he genuinely made a song of gratitude for him because he was happy to have him as a friend. there were also times where yoojoon did open up a bit more and more to be affectionate. being starved off of love for most of his life, when hyunjae came to his space—he returned the affection. hugging him back, leaning on him, all the sort.

but the more he indulged in it, the more he found himself feeling more and more. how each touch started to burn his skin more, how he would sometimes look at hyunjae a bit too long, and the most damnable thing? the music he made, the lyrics he wrote, everything was a love song for hyunjae.

yoojoon's in love, and he's really not sure what to do.

because yoojoon was a little bit odd, was living a life not to be his dream, and he only has talent in music. he's not like hyunjae, who shone so brightly and knew so many others. hyunjae who had better friends and showed no interest in dating. and yoojoon's aware of their situation as well, and there's no doubt that maybe such a thing could never be.

so he did what he did best.

he pushed it all down and soldiered on. pretended to be fine as he went about his day. did not deter when hyunjae initiated another affectionate moment with him because he didn't want him to worry.

yoojoon's in love, but for now it's a secret only he knew.

iv.
there were things he knew about hyunjae no one really knew. there were some things that only the two of them did like singing each other to vent, that no one's really aware off. little things like the dumb gifts they made for each other, or the habits they had that they kept to themselves. though, some acts could be more relatable to a lot of people. like when hyunjae gets on his bed, yoojoon just followed suit and even let him sleep with him. 

he knew it all so well, and before he knew it he was making a song. and this time he couldn't just throw it away. instead, secretly, he made this song and kept it to himself. constantly tried to perfect it again and again.

he never imagined he'd reveal it to the world, though. but when the company suggested him to make a solo song...how could he turn it down?

so he decided to make this his single. no one really knew about it except those that explicitly worked with him on it. hyunjae tried to get something out of him, but yoojoon refused to let him hear it. because if hyunjae had to listen to it, he at least wished it to be the completed version.

so, that's how the song was revealed to the world. people commented on how lovely it is, how good it was, how much they could feel his own emotions through the song. positive feedback all around but all he could think was...what would hyunjae think?

no matter the answer, yoojoon found himself more relaxed than before. because he finally let it all out and no matter if he's rejected or not, he's happy to have learned that feeling called love.

STAGE NAME: yoojoon
yoojoon's not here to be an idol, never had been. it felt like he was taking pieces of himself away to rely on being an idol to get on stage, but he was desperate. in the end, in order to keep himself grounded to his identity, he refused any stage names and chose to remain as yoojoon.

GREETING:
"yo, 'm the soulful vagabond of solaire, yoojoon."
it was a cringey phrase but yoojoon soldiered through it with a straight face. to be honest, the manager made him say it to make himself more appealing—but he thought he just seemed more like a fool. the title of soulful vagabond was mainly due to his emotional voice and his rather aloof personality mixed in with his concept int he solaireverse ended up with him  being titled a vagabond.

ANIMAL:
&; sea turtle, a mysterious and solitary creature such as himself. one found in the sea and away from the rest.

&; the backup is being the whale, another marine animal which was known for its calming and enchanting calls much like yoojoon's singing.

COLOR:
&; ocean boat blue   #0178bd 
there's a pretentious meaning, much like his whole identity as an idol that was brought up due to his charaacter in solaire and own way of thinking. the lone boat in the blue ocean, alone and away from all else.

&; midnight blue  #191970 
the midnight sky was a contrast to the theme of sun that which was solaire. isolated from the others because he was different.

LINE: 
vocal > producer > dance > rap
due to his wish to be a part of a band, and mainly being only abe to sing for the most time, he's very skilled in singing. he could make his own music, which was not too far from his singing skills. unfortunately, his talent in dance was lacking and his rapping more so.

VOCAL TWIN:
ha hyunsang, a soloist ( gaho aka kang daeho, a soloist or hong isaac aka hong yi sak, a soloist )
the thing one should know about his singing was that he was a man who did not focus on belting or high notes to create impact, it was rather the emotions he conveyed that made him shine. 

DANCE TWIN:
kim mingyu of produce x 101 ( lai guanlin formerly of wanna one )
new to dancing, extremely so. someone save him, his lanky fram had never adapted to dancing until the idol life.

RAP TWIN:
he's not a rapper. not at all. but if you want to know how he ended up as...well, refer to kim donghyun the mma fighter.

PRODUCER TWIN:
he begun in a band in his highschool called marine, much of their songs would have hoppipolla as their twin. the arrangements were done together and from that he learned how to make music.

then from there he grew and made his own color. in this case he could end up much like a mix of king gnu and kenshi yonezu. king gnu in terms of bands, and kenshi yonezu if he was to go really crazy on his solos. someone who tried to really create an atmosphere with his songs which would properly convey the mood and theme of his lyrics.
FIRST SONG:
stay here by gaho. ( breathe by park hyo shin )
stay here or breathe, it will be the same mv and meaning in the end.

SECOND SONG:
&; where are you now by ha hyunsang.
a prequel to the first song, wherein it showcased more of his despair as he waited for the others to return to him. he wonders where everyone was now, but all he did was remain in that one spot without doing anything about it.

&; backup; becoming the wind by ha hyunsang.
more of a sequel to the first song, these were his vows that he promised to the others after finding them once again. he'll become the wind for them if he could, and he'll stay by their side unlike before.
TRAINEE YEARS: 4 years ( 2013-2016 in fnc, 2016-2017 in bbc )

TRAINEE LIFE:
he was a trainee of fnc, in hopes of becoming a part of another one of the bands that the entertainment company tend to produced. in fact he could have been a part of n.flying, however the final decision was that he could be a main vocal for a different band instead. one more unique and sentimental. 

yoojoon never trained to be an idol initially, so there was not as much strain as if he was to learn how to dance or the sort. instead, he tried his best to learn more about music and producing for the future.

he didn't interact much unless spoken to first, but he left an impact with his singing. he's heard other trainees say that there's no doubt he'd become a part of a group soon enough, with that voice of his. and sometimes, he liked to believe that.

it took two years, though, for him to be assigned into a group that would debut ( named peak ). they would be a more basic band as per usual, instead of something unique like his old band in high school had been. but it was better than nothing and he liked the set up. the only concerns he had was the odd drummer they had, with a rough and tough image as well as a sharper tongue.

the drummer had insulted the rest and him without provocation, but he and the others let it slide. they were closing into their dreams after all. however, as soon as teasers started to drop out and they revealed the drummer—the internet boomed and claimed a witch hunt on the drummer that was revealed to be a bully. it's because of that, that the dream he almost obtained had crushed so easily. and after being crushed and being forced to wait again...yoojoon left after another year waiting. after he realized fnc really wasn't planning any new bands, he left in hopes of finding somewhere else that could help him.

he auditioned instead of being scouted by others, and he hit it off on his first audition within blockberry creative during the early year of 2017. 

as soon as he came along, he was enlisted to a group pretty soon again. however, this time it wasn't to be put into a band. instead, it was to be put into an idol group. truthfully, he was hesitant. there were some things about being a part of a large idol group that did not sit well with him. mainly how the music ended up sounding as, for yoojoon was a man who'd immerse himself into songs and become one with it. but, sharing such music with others would only make it disjointed. too many fishes in the sea, a school of it that can be beatiful to some—or disrupt others. some prettier, some that sounds more wonderful, some more rugged. it's chaotic, and frankly yoojoon preferred to have his focus on one.

but if he became an idol, it up, then maybe he could make his own solo songs in the future? or at least suggest a band sub unit? it sounded enticing yet it required much patience. moreover, he had to learn to dance.

what had he got ot lose, though?

even if he could debut as a band, that failed before. and now that he could get on stage, albeit not exactly what he wanted, wasn't that just good enough? yoojoon wanted to sing, and he really wasn't getting any younger.

that's how yoojoon got to be a part of solaire, with only his vocals that cemented his position. that's how he had to rearrange his schedule to include more idol like practices such as dance, begin to look after his wight more, and overall there was just a lot more work.

it's okay, though, as long as he could sing to the world—it'll be fine.

( sometimes, though, he still couldn't help but find it tiring how he just couldn't ever get what he wanted without a drawback of sorts. )
PRE-DEBUT ACTIVITIES:
&; 2011-2013;
busking out in the populated streets of gwangju.

&; 2012-2013
was the vocalist and guitarist of marine, a high school band.

SCANDALS:
&; new solaire boy a famous busker? ( 2017 )
when yoojoon's solo dropped, the fans recalled his voice and appearance. after some digging up, it was revealed that he was a rather well known busker, as well as part of a small time band known as marine.
[ +2134 , -155 ] i remember hearing him as a busker and had been looking forward to his singing but was worried when all of a sudden he stopped. it warms my heart to see that he now is debuting and i can hear his angelic voice once more 
[ +1986, -126 ] i just binge watched all the vids of his busking and band stages after listening to his solo...TT his voice really reaches the heart i think i might have my bias
[ +1469, -132 ] are you sure he's tht great of a singer? no high notes or any outstanding skills is all i hear

&; solaire's sentimental vocalist is 4d ( 2018 )
an article that basically talks about how despite his sensitive singing voice, the man's quite strange. it's quite the stark difference really.
[ +2478, -309 ] oppa please don't ruin your image...
[ +2367, -107 ] just leave him be, it's not the first time we got sentimental singers with wacky personalities ( e.g john park, 2am jo kwon )

&; solaire's yoojoon formerly from fnc's peak ( 2018 )
people found out that yoojoon was connected to fnc and that he was supposed to debut as part of the band peak. people also remembered how in the band, there was a bully who led to the band never properly debuting.
[ +2695, -324 ] i know we've been getting bad cookies in the industry these days but to hate a guy for just associating with a bully bc they were in the same group? calm down. i'm sure we'll find out through solaire if he really is good or not and so far he's proven te former.
[ +2534, -253 ] idk if i can really trust him...i worry about what he can do to the other members if we leave him be

&; this solaire member calls his mother by her name ( 2019 )
on a show or interview of sorts where they had to call their family, it's revealed that yoojoon calls his mother by her name and he seemed cold when he interacted with her.
[ +2817, -182 ] honestly i was okay with him being a 4d haracter but this is drawing the line. maybe the worries of him being a bad influence has more credibility now...
[ +2784, -137 ] guys, i know it is rude but i've met people like that who were nice and kind. they just didn't have a good family life. maybe instead of hating him for that, wonder if you're just making a black sheep out of him instead of looking with a broader perspective.

FINAL WORDS
this coding looks like such a mess when i edit but just fine when i look on the site. honestly i blame superband and kenshi yonezu's spirits of the sea for this child being born xD. i wanted to make the coding more extra but i truly killed all my brain cells already so rip.

SCENE REQUESTS

&; if he gets an immortal songs stage...i request he sings with his former band members from marine. 
&; more tba

PASSWORD
( copy and pasted because what's fandom names omg. )
aster* ( revolving around how solaire's french for solar, one of the french words for star was astérisque which some may say sound like asterisk ( * ) which people refer to as a star symbol. so combining that fact, along with how aster was greek for star too, aster* was formed )
another song rec is this.
