— a mysterious flower has sprouted . . .
but who is kwon minjae? you might find a few thorns hidden amongst the petals.
hi everyone! i’m melody (21+) and i’m looking forward to being back at wannabe after being away for quite some time! if you’re interested, i’ve included some little tidbits about my new muse, kwon minjae, under the cut! give this post a ♡ and i’ll approach you for some plotting!
minjae currently finds himself being held hostage working at kwon’s chicken - the small fried chicken restaurant that his parents own and operate.
he is currently 98% dissatisfied with life and wants nothing more than to escape and make a name for himself. even more importantly, he doesn’t want to live under his parent’s rule anymore.
after failing the college entrance exams last year, he has become a bit of a hermit and rarely leaves his room except for when he has to do any of his waiter/busboy duties.
he often tells his mother that he is hiding away in his room in order to study his next round of entrance exams... but he actually has no intention of taking the test again.
while he is studying, it isn’t any kind of school subject. minjae is actually studying on how to become an idol. he’ll sit upstairs for hours watching different idol interviews and try to understand how they successfully move and act in front of the cameras.
in terms of vocals, some say that he sounds a lot like the singer i’ll.
in day to day life, minjae will often appear to be completely dejected, if he were ever to get in for an audition, he’d make sure to put all that he’s studied to the test. if what they’re looking for is a young, charismatic guy with aegyo to spare, then he’ll provide!
why did he always feel so empty? was it normal for an individual to be as pathetic as he felt? minjae figured that such questions were better suited for a therapist rather than just floating around inside his head. but who actually went to therapy? not people who lead normal lives. and nobody was as normal as minjae. at least, that’s what he liked to tell himself. it always made him feel better when he started to question if other people his age faced the same daily situations. yeah, it was probably perfectly ordinary to hate everything about your life.
maybe that was why minjae found himself sitting at a table by himself in a small and unpopular café with his laptop in front of him. as much as he loved staying holed up in his dim room, away from the outside world, it didn’t actually provide him with the level of seclusion that he was looking for. there was always a risk of his mom bursting through the door and demanding that he head down the stairs in order to help with whatever restaurant duties she didn’t feel like completing herself. should he have more sympathy for his hardworking mother? it depended on who you asked. minjae just wanted to get as far away from kwon’s chicken as possible.
so being huddled in the corner of the café was no coincidence. it was all part of his master plan to leave his extra ordinary life behind. you see, if he were to keep his eyes glued to the screen and study every possible idol video that the internet had, then there was a chance that he’d be able to mirror their behaviors and mannerisms. if he were a famous idol, then he’d never have to be a busboy ever again. not to mention that he’d never have to set eyes on any of his family members for the foreseeable future. minjae couldn’t help but chuckle under his breath as he imagined it all.
