hi everybody ! it's your resident sloth here, eight (any, cst) and i'm here to introduce you to my loser boy: kwon haeil. under the cut, there's some brief info on him and below are the links i have prepared. please fill in the heart if you're interested in plotting and i'll raid your ims or beg for your d*scord.

PROFILE. / BACKGROUND. / WANTED CONNECTIONS.

aussie born, child of divorce, lived in sydney until his mother pulled the 'your dad has to teach you how to be a man' card and shipped him off to live with him in seoul.

within the first year of being in his new environment, he's diagnosed with adhd & depression.

parents are lawyers, mom's a crown prosecutor in new south wales, and dad's a divorce lawyer here in seoul. they are sooo thrilled that he's studying something that he has no 'guarantee' of making a living off of. (he took a gap year just to convince them while working as a receptionist at his father's office.)

until his decision on what he'd like to study in uni, he was so close to being the ideal son. he was well behaved, had good grades, and never got caught staying out late.

closer with his mom than his dad, she makes the effort to try to see his side on things more than his dad does. he tries to call her as often as he can (and she's available.)

he has a younger sister that he's relatively close to. they have a three year age difference. despite her being a pain in his ass at times, he loves her sm.

relatively well-liked by his peers, he holds up his own end of the group projects and makes up for the slacker so everyone can pass their class.

an outgoing introvert, he likes people but he also needs time to recharge from people. he will visibly deflate while being out once he runs out of social battery. #savehim

he was more of a party boy in undergrad, he's much more of a homebody now. but hey.. at least he's a homebody with a better alcohol tolerance..?

very passionate about music and sound in general!!! but he's not pretentious about it, just very enthusiastic. likes to listen to all genres. (let him support your local band)

his career aspiration is working in sound design for films or video games. he's the kind of guy that's casually jamming to the hades soundtrack working out at the rec center.

resident eavesdropper, sometimes he's listening on purpose other times he just happens to overhear things. likes to keep an ear (and eye) for gossip because everything starts with an inkling of truth to it.

his label, the oracle, comes into play because of his interest in gossip as well as him being observant. cause yeah it's a no brainer when you hear about someone who mumbles how much they hate someone under their breath, found keying that same someone's car the next day.

takes personality inspo from minamoto teru (tbhk) and takashi mitsuya (tokrev). he's kind and humble yet not someone you want to be on the wrong side of.

only istus knows. ft. go sohee. ( @weakkness )

haeil was determined to make today a more exciting day for the club members. yesterday, the activity at the d&d booth had been a lot slower than they had anticipated, especially given the fact that sohee was supposed to be going around the festival promoting the club.

with the main draw to their booth being costumes and prop weapons, it's partly understandable why their booth isn't bustling with visitors. no one wants to try on costumes in this weather, and he can't blame them. he's lucky that he's been using his clothes to cosplay as his character. loose-fitting articles with breathable fabrics are a godsend in the heat.

regardless of the costume issue, there was more to the booth than that. the members were doing their best to represent their characters, maintaining a level of entertainment for their peers. even haeil himself had prepared captivating tales to share from his party.

equipped with steely resolve, he throws an arm over sohee's shoulder once she checks in at the booth. “i'm sure yesterday was quite draining for you, having to promote the club by yourself. today, i'll be going along to assist you.”

summertime shyness

— open!

for someone who claimed to be so confident, jiun had never wanted to disappear more. jiun wasn't religious, but this had to be what hell felt like. it was sweltering, his only solace being the roof over the little booth. he tried to act nonchalant. no one needed to know how shy he was, scrolling through his phone casually. but then again, that competitive side arose. he wanted that funding. not because the volleyball team particularly needed more funding, but mostly so that he could rub it in everyones faces.

yet there he was. practically hiding behind the booth, ducked as low as he could, flushed from both the heat and nerves. he was somewhat hoping he could get by by just asking really nicely (re: mildly, passibly, cordial) for people to donate and pass on the kiss. it seemed like a great idea.

[haevenward]

the festivities of yeonchella had been treating haeil well. the majority of his afternoon has been spent in costume and in character in promotion of the dungeons & dragons club. despite him having to come out of his comfort zone a bit, he's been having a pleasant time.

he had heard that even though the profits of the event were intended for charity, the teams were taking the kissing booth more competitively. as a true chaotic neutral, haeil decided to equally support each team.

approaching the signage indicating that it was the spot for the volleyball players, haeil has to choke back a laugh. he can only catch a glimpse of the boy's hair from over the booth. was participating truly that awful?

“it's such a shame that there's no one manning the booth for the volleyball team.” he turns away from the booth, his tone laced with feigned sorrow. “i suppose i'll have to take my 20,000 won over to the hockey players instead.”

[haevenward]

hey guys, i'm joining in on the fun of plotting calls for the yeonchella event. i plan to keep threads on the shorter side to help with progression. haeil is going to be committing to the bit, full on larping as his dnd character, kairos. he's a tiefling eloquence bard (silver tongued bastard). i've got a handful of ideas under the cut!

someone that helps him with his makeup and costume for the festival. anyone tryna help a man with his pointy elf-like ears, horns, fangs, etc.

someone that tries to get him to break character, or teasing him because he's overly chatty and more flirtatious in character. (bonus: someone that flirts back and actually flusters him)

for an art club member: getting a caricature done while he's in his kairos get-up, does y/m hate him for this or is it more inspiring to get to draw a fantasy character?

he'll be walking around to interact with others often, occasionally coming back to see if anyone's shown up to the booth. so, anyone that might come down to the booth and he's doing his best to entertain you.

the rare character break moment during yeonchella: being on break from his booth duties, just anyone that may want to explore the festival with haeil.

someone he breaks the rules for about camping, he leaves a blanket-covered spot for y/m after he's done helping set up for the dnd booth. (he's technically NOT camping.. he just reserved a spot.. he's Bending the rules your honor)

he won't be camping, but he's going to see as many acts in the days' lineup as he can. maybe one of the days, he doesn't have time to change out of his kairos get-up so he's blocking y/m's view with the horns he's wearing.

maybe y/m can't deal well with the summer heat, haeil's there for them with liquid iv, a little electric fan, and going to grab them a drink from the anime club's booth.

someone that drags him into going to one of the afterparties? he would be trying his best to get out of going, but y/m is convincing him to stop in a for a few minutes.

task one: the dreaded interview.

returning a library book (in peace) on an ordinary day would be a straightforward task, but today was no ordinary day. there's an obnoxious-looking man standing directly in front of the library's entrance, catching passersby for street interviews. if haeil could just duck his head down and quicken his pace, he should be able to get into the library before he's accosted by the interviewer. just a couple more long strides should get him right to the entrance, and fuck, the guy is right in front of him now.

“what’s your red flag?”

the question is so typical of these street interviews that haeil can't help but huff out a laugh. it would be easy for him to rattle off a few things that he could see as a red flag, but he figures he'll go for the easiest one. “commitment issues. i don't feel like i have the proper time to date someone.” and maybe that's his cop-out response, since relationships and getting to know someone on a romantic level require more opening up than he's comfortable with.

“would you date someone with worse grades than you?”

“yes.” he hums, processing his thoughts for a second to properly articulate himself. “grades aren't a reflection of a person's character per se; sometimes people are just going through shit. if it's something that truly bothers you or them, you could put forth the effort to help them out.”

“what’s the most unhinged thing in your notes app?”

haeil slips his hand into the pocket of his jeans, carefully pulling out his phone, and opening up his notes app. “probably this?” he taps into a note, labelled 'favorite timestamps', idly scrolling through the list. “they're movie timestamps where i've really appreciated the sound design. for example—” he stops on a certain spot in his list before continuing. “here we have ratatouille 55:02-55:50. it's the moment where remy is telling emile to close his eyes and appreciate the flavors of the cheese and grape that he gave him. the jazz music becomes more intensified with the flavors he's describing, paired with the visuals of remy's synesthesia. it's an excellent moment in film.”
