chanmi‌:

     she knows haneul by default. an acquaintanceship that she never paid much attention to, as it was a result of a package deal signed under her engagement. they’ve never exchanged much, unlike her own friendship with the other’s younger sister. ahh, sweet ahreum, as innocent as ever. 

     yet, tonight she was forced to exchange cumbersome small talk. the venue was rather large, holding many important guests of various disciplines, many of whom left a sour taste in her buds. eyes narrowing as she settles in her seat, an immediate internal groan suppressed in her system guised as a soft sigh, as she sees the name plate on the table beside her. lee haneul. what a treat. 

     digits moving to the glass of wine before her, bringing it to her lips for sip, her gaze remains on her glass catching a glimpse of a silhouette beside her. “ahh… lee haneul-ssi.” placing the glass down, as her gaze finally moves to shift to him, “having fun?” she offers a faux perk of red tinted lips. 

It takes Haneul a herculean amount of strength not to roll his eyes when he sees her. Words wouldn’t be enough to describe how much he despises the girl, not only for her personality itself ( or what he knows of her personality ) but also because of the ‘relationship’ she has with his boyfriend. Both things are enough to cause discomfort whenever she’s around.

He’s been avoiding Chanmi and Jaesung all night, as much as he swears he doesn't get affected by their acting, Haneul is still human and still feels jealousy when he sees the other two pretending to be a perfect couple. It disgusts him, fills him with anger and frustration, but he does his best to disguise it behind his usual, sweet smile. But he can’t stop the deep and disappointed sigh from escaping past his lips when he notices he’s sitting next to her during that night.

Couldn’t they have put him to sit next to Jaesung, at least? His best friend?

Haneul sighs again when she speaks to him, and he looks at her with a forced grin on his lips. “Geum Chanmi-ah,” he responds, voice soft and gentle when he speaks, doing his best to sound as friendly and as unaffected as possible. “I have to admit I’d rather be somewhere else, but this isn’t too bad. You look good, tonight.”

jaesung‌:

jaesung has never done this before. at least not for a boyfriend. his relationships, if he could even call them that, had never lasted long enough to get to this point. to the point where he had been stressing for weeks to find haneul the perfect gift. something that proved to be harder than it sounded because what do you get someone who already has everything? well, there was one thing that had come to mind…. but jae couldn’t give him that. not yet, at least. so he continued his search. it wasn’t much. wasn’t the most expensive either, but jae was sure haneul would appreciate it. 

but the gift would have to wait for later. jae had something else in store first, lips curled into a smile as he carefully traced haneul’s body with rose petals. breakfast on bed. the platter waits patiently on the corner of the bed, a hand carefully running through haneul’s hair before waking him up with a gentle kiss and a soft muttering of words. “happy birthday, baby.”

Sleeping next to his boyfriend is always the best type of sleep Haneul has ever gotten. The warmth of their bodies pressed together as they cuddle and bask into each other’s scent, it is always enough to make the teacher fall asleep almost immediately after a night together. That night wasn’t any different, and in the morning, Haneul sleeps like a baby in Jaesung’s bed --- warm and comfortable, happy and satisfied. And he only wakes up when he feels something against his back, smooth and delicate touches over his bare skin causing quiet and sleepy giggles to escape past his lips.

“That tickles,” he mumbles, eyes still closed as he tries to wake up completely. Haneul moves a little, just enough to turn his head to the side and look at Jaesung, a lazy smile forming on his lips immediately when he sees Jae’s sleepy face too. It doesn’t take long for him to reach for the other’s hand and pull him closer, until he’s able to hold Jae tight in his arms. “Thank you, handsome... Good morning.”

jaesung‌:

it’s funny. really, how someone who hates the cold this much willingly spends so much of his time surrounded by coldhearted and self-centered people. though, in jae’s defense he doesn’t know any better. that’s how he grew up. his parents never showed him love. they never told him how proud they were of him. or maybe they did, once long before his siblings were born, and he had simply been too young to remember.

either way, that’s what jae thought he deserved. all he was meant for. pressure, expectations and the constant feeling of not being good enough. and then he met haneul. it’s haneul who made him realize that maybe it could be different. jae wasn’t really living. the life he thought he was destined for, he thought he needed to adapt to, was not really his path to follow. but he didn’t see a way out, not even with the same man who had relit that spark in his eyes curled up next to him, making sure he kept the little flame alive. the lies and pretend had become too intertwined and he didn’t know just how to unjumble them all while trying to keep his life from falling apart.

those are the thoughts that mull through his head, fingertips gently pressing words and pictures into haneul’s back. “hmm?” a smile spreads across his features but it’s not enough to hide the frown that had carved into his forehead over the hours. “i’ve just been thinking… you know, about us. and how much you have changed my life already.”

Haneul smiles back at the other and brings one of his hands up to poke the frown that formed on Jaesung’s forehead, before he leans in and presses a tiny kiss to his boyfriend’s lips. He’s known Jae for a while now and it’s been enough to know when there’s too much going on the older’s mind, and that isn’t always a good sign and Haneul knows that very well. “You’re gonna get wrinkles, baby.”

He brushes his fingers through Jae's hair again and the smile he has on his lips get wider after listening to his words, he can’t but feel his heart beat faster knowing that he’s had such an impact on the other’s life already, which is comprehensible because Jae has always changed his life quite a lot. He has brought so much happiness to Haneul. 

“Thinking about us?” The younger of the two asks, scooting closer to his boyfriend and giggling quietly with curiosity. “Tell me more about that, Jae... What have I changed? Was it for the better?” He’s expecting the answer to be yes, but he wouldn’t be surprised if what Jae’s about to say isn’t exactly what he wants it to be. Their situation is complicated, and he knows how stressful it can be to keep it all hidden. He knows how tiring it is and how much worse it must be for Jae, once he also has to deal with his fake fiancée.

tiger:

The music was pounding at the living room full of people, jostled by a couple of his regular party-goers. a mixture of Korean and Mandarin being caterwauled at him. He howled in laughter.

He stumbled falling head over ass over the back of his sofa getting himself stuck, making the caterwauling regular busting into uncontrolled laughter.

“Can’t believe you, guys!”

Huffed Tiger trying to him himself out of this awkward position, yanking himself out sending himself hurtling into a stranger. “Ahh, ughh,” he groaned looking at the stranger. holding his hand to his forehead. “Sorry about that dude,” he pulls the mask up; as it was obscuring his vision.

Haneul likes parties, he likes socializing and talking to people when his parents aren’t around to control every word that leaves his lips — in fact, he almost can’t believe that he managed to go to an actual party without them whining about it.

It’d be a real victory if it wasn’t for the fact that he barely knew anyone at the place. He isn’t even sure why he was invited in the first place.

But it all becomes clearer that maybe he shouldn’t be there when he feels the stranger bump into him. Haneul swears he doesn’t know where he became so agile, he doesn’t know how he managed to keep his glass still full after the impact. “Oh, no,” he says to the other, a faint smile on his face. “It’s fine, don’t worry! Nice party, by the way.”

hyein‌:

hyein couldn’t help but break into a grin when she turned the corner and saw a familiar face in the back of the room, grinning right back at her. she was always grateful to have a friend like haneul - reliable, openhearted, and most importantly, incredibly determined to help her find her passion. even if it was a futile effort - hyein couldn’t really imagine ever discovering some path that she loved enough to disappoint her parents - it warmed her heart that haneul was willing to try.

she chucked as she slid in the seat across from him, shrugging her coat off. “oh, don’t worry, i could always use more sleep.” she shrugged. “i’ve been okay, you know, the usual. school year is starting up, i’m sure you’ve been much more busy than i have.”

He watches her take a sit and smiles, listening to her words with attention and chuckling a little, he nods his head a few times once she’s done. “Ah, I think we’re both pretty busy...” Haneul says and lets out a quiet and soft sigh, bringing one of his hands up to scratch his neck when he thinks about going back to the classrooms. Oh, how much he hated that. “But hopefully it’s gonna be a good year for the two of us! Even though I’m sure mine is gonna be terrible, I hate teens.”

After saying that, the teacher chuckles again and then reaches for the menu, giving it a quick look before handing it to Hyein. “Ok, let’s order then---- I’m starving, to be honest. And since I made you get out of bed so early, I’m paying today.” He winks at her, playful.

Poppin’ Bottles || haneul & jaesung (flashback)

[hghaneul]

jaesung‌:

jae could have sworn he had seen haneul smile at him. but he wasn’t sure. gaze immediately directed down to the mess he was making instead. though, it was merely an excuse to not have to see the possible discomfort on the younger man’s face in case he was staring too much. it’s embarrassing, really, to have lived 26 years of life and not know how to approach a man you really liked. to go through one identity crisis after another and still not be able to accept who you really are. 

though, it is a little different in jaesung’s case. he knows who he is. he knows what and who he wants but he has also had to accept that’s not who the world wants him to be. a destiny he had embraced a long time ago, assuming it would get easier as he grew older but it ended up being quite the opposite. the more time passed, the more he yearned for the freedom his younger siblings currently possessed. but not just freedom. happiness.

he wants to leave. wants to run back home and hide under the covers, hope that haneul was already too drunk to remember any of this in the morning. but the man in question finds him before he can make his escape. eyes desperately fleeting through the room in search for a sibling or a parent to save him out of this awkward situation, but they are useless. like always. 

talks more to his feet than to haneul as he tries to shoo the poking finger away, “ya- i only had two drinks! i can take more than that.” a statement he knew he would regret later that night since it could have been the perfect excuse. “it’s just really hot in here…”

He finds Jaesung adorable, even more when he’s doing his best to look cool and unbothered. Haneul’s smile gets wider as he watches the way Jae reacts to his words and tries to move away from his touch, and he pulls his hand back after a second not to make the older man uncomfortable --- no more than he already looks. Haneul has never been sure about what to think of him other than that he’s very handsome, but they way Jaesung looks away whenever they make eye contact---- something about it encourages Haneul to try.

“Only two drinks?” Haneul asks, raising his eyebrows and nodding a few times as he chuckles again. “Your cheeks are so red it looks like you had two bottles,” and he nudges Jaesung’s arm lightly, smiling brightly at him and giggling some more, he finds the other’s explanation quite amusing. It is the first time they have an actual conversation, despite all the years that the Lees have visited the restaurant and all the times Haneul tried to approach Jaesung with smiles. He has to admit he’s a bit nervous, but before anything... He’s brave.

“Oh, I see,” he starts, looking down at his hands as he fiddles with his fingers. “Would you like to go outside, maybe? Grab some fresh air, cool down a little... There’s a lot of people here, it can get pretty suffocating.” And he looks back at Jaesung, smiling sweetly and softly when he asks, “Shall we go?”

ahreum‌:

     𝓪 𝓱𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓬𝓱𝓮𝓼 into the packet of chips in her lap, as she points to the pack of sweets on the other side of the couch, gesturing to her older brother to share followed by a little giggle. pink socks that adorn her small feet as she reaches over the couch to give him a good whiff of her right foot. “yah! oppa, share!” she adored the little moments she shares with her brother, times like these could never be replicated and she was so thankful to have had such a great elder figure to follow behind. 

     “so, i read this article about us the other day…” a slight pout forming across her features, “and it’s not that nice. it says that the only reason why i allowed to study at hwang geum university is because our parents own the school. they also said that you’re not a qualified teacher!” her voice raises slightly as she mentions the criticism towards haneul. it would be a lie to say that the articles didn’t affect her, but at the back of her mind, a part of her always felt like it was sinking into the pits of her stomach. she lets out a sigh, continuing to eat her disappointment away. 

He squints at her when Ahreum asks for him to share the sweets, and smirks as he purposely takes one of the candies and brings it to his mouth instead of sharing with her --- and that’s when he sees her foot a bit too close to his face, causing him to groan and grab her by the ankle to tickle the sole of her foot for a moment. “Not if you keep shoving your nasty feet on my face,” Haneul teases her, letting a quiet laugh escape past his lips before he hands her the bag of candies, but soon his smiles and giggles vanish when she mentions the article.

Haneul sighs and scoots closer to his sister, reaching for a handful of chips from the package she has. “I’ve told you not to read the things they say about us, haven’t I?” There’s a small frown on his forehead but his voice doesn’t sound like he’s scolding Ahreum, he would never do that... He knows how those things affect her and he does his best to keep them from her. “They’re jealous, Ahreum... Where did they expect us to study? At our family’s rival university? It wouldn’t make any sense. And they have never watched one of my lessons so they can’t say anything coherent about my teaching.” He sighs again, bringing one of his arms around Ahreum’s shoulders to bring her closer. “You know they’re lying, Ahreum...”

He smiles when he sees the girl approaching the table he has chosen in the café, further in the back where not a lot of people go to --- they always prefer to be near the windows, but Haneul seems to like being distant from the crowds when he’s with a friend, like right now with Hyein. It makes it harder for people to listen to their conversations.

 He hasn’t ordered anything yet, waiting to order breakfast together once the girl joined him.

“Good morning,” the biologist tells her with a light chuckle, his eyes almost disappear into small crescents. “You look like you needed some more hours of sleep, I’m sorry for bringing you here so early... How have you been, Hye?”

Poppin’ Bottles || haneul & jaesung (flashback)

[hghaneul]

jaesung‌:

There’s a reason why Jaesung doesn’t do parties. He feels out of place. Regret settling deep down in his gut, twisting and churning, as he catches glimpse of the stares and giggles that his attendance induces. It makes him want to turn and beeline back to where he had come from, without stopping for a drink or a conversation first. But his friend won’t let him. Instead, grabs his arm and pushes him down in one of the seats. Tells him to live a little as he hands him a drink that smells a lot like a 3-year-old toddler who got his greedy, little hands on the candy jar. 

Jae takes a careful sip, nose scrunching a little at the juvenile taste. It’s too sugary for his liking. Too innocent. He’s going to need something a little stronger if he wants to make it through the rest of the night. The crowd seems to have long lost interest in him, though, and so does his friend, hands moving vividly as he tries to chat up a blonde in the corner of the room. But that doesn’t stop Jae in his quest for a better liquid motivator.

It’s then that Jae first spots him, the guy that managed to unsettle him in the one place where he was supposed to feel confident. A well-known feeling of panic starts to bubble under the first layers of his skin. His fingers sweat and itch, the red cup dangerously tilting and threatening to make a mess. Still, Jae can’t help but let his gaze linger a little. He wonders…

No. Why would a guy like that bother with him? How was this guy supposed to have noticed him when all Jae does is order his waiters to take over the Lee table from him and make excuses. He shakes the thought. Shakes his head as well he scoops up another one of those sugary drinks and sets to rejoin his friend. Yet, not without taking another peek at Haneul first. Was he blushing?

He finds his friend in the same corner where he had left him, though, his company seemed to have changed. Blonde long locks swapped for a black, shorter head of hair. Few words were interchanged but Jae quickly loses interest in the conversation, eyes scurrying the room again for a particular someone…

A prize. That’s what Haneul and Ahreum are for their parents whenever they have to accompany them to an event or a party, no matter who’s attending too. They love showing the siblings off. Haneul has grown used to it, and since he’s the older of the Lee’s children, he makes sure to be in charge and answer the questions directed at them. Anything to make his little sister feel more comfortable, despite the whispers they hear about them every now and then. Haneul is good at ignoring them, pretending he didn’t hear anything and just going on with his life, but Ahreum isn’t... And he does his best to keep those rumors from her.

He keeps his hand over her shoulder as they try to enjoy the party, Haneul has a glass in his other hand and he has barely taken a sip from it --- too bitter for his liking, the drink was something his father chose for him. He doesn’t like how it tastes, but he drinks it anyways and tries to see what’s so good about it.

And as expected from him, Haneul smiles when he has to, laughs when he has to, makes comments when he has to and makes sure that he doesn’t disappoint his parents or embarrass them. He knows he has to be excellent, for himself and Ahreum, but he can’t help but stutter a little when he sees the oldest son of the Kim family. He thinks it’s adorable how he looks away whenever they make eye contact. Haneul dares himself to smile at the other, a tiny and discreet grin that he wishes would be enough to get Kim Jaesung’s attention.

But it disappears when the other looks away, pouting a little bit because it all happened so fast... He wishes he had seen a smile from Jaesung, but the soft shade of red on his cheeks brings a wider grin to Haneul’s lips. It must be a sign. Haneul excuses himself for a moment, he looks at his sister and promises he’ll be back soon before he makes his way towards the other. He has always been a brave guy, but he knows his face is probably a bit red too because of the overwhelming feeling of approaching a cute boy. 

“I guess you’ve been drinking a lot,” he tells the other once they’re close enough, smiling and bringing one of his hands up to poke Jaesung’s cheek. He completely ignores the friend that stands there, probably too drunk to even notice someone else has joined the conversation. “Your face is so red, Jaesung hyung.”

The atmosphere of the room is cold thanks to the open window that allows the winter wind to come inside, something Haneul did on purpose. An excuse to be in bed all evening, tangled between bedsheets and close enough to keep each other warm. He has his arms wrapped around Jaesung, but one of his hands rests on the other’s head to play with the smooth strands of his dark hair.

They’ve been silent for quite some time now, just basking in each other’s presence and warmth, maybe a bit hesitant and afraid that someone might hear them even though they’re alone, in Jaesung’s house. The fear of being caught does that to Haneul sometimes, when he speaks to his boyfriend in whispers because he’s scared --- the last thing he wants is to put Jae in a bad situation, so he does his best to play along and keep their secret safe and sound.

Still, that doesn’t mean the secrecy makes him happy.

“You’re way too quiet today,” the younger of the two says, voice quiet and soothing, fingers still brushing Jae’s hair back slowly. “What’s on your mind, hm?”

[hghaneul]

hello, sweethearts ♥ it’s moon here, i am twenty years old and i use she / her pronoums. i’m in my first year of university so please, forgive me if i’m a bit slow... i’m still learning how university works. i live in hell and the gmt is -3, english is not my first language so be kind to me and my grammar mistakes... i have a cat named mia and she is satan confirmed by science, but at least she’s cute! anyways, that’s enough about me --- let’s focus on haneul now. his biography + profile page is here, and the plots page is here ( i still have to add some more ideas to it though ). under read more you’ll find a short little introduction about him:

haneul is the oldest of the lee kids.

smart af, but he doesn’t go around showing it off.

people still make rumors about him and his sister but he chose to ignore them and continue to live his life unbothered.

BUT he’s super protective of his sister, so don’t ever be mean to her or else he’s gonna have to punch you. 

he can fight, don’t challenge him.

he studied biology in college with hopes that he’d work at a zoo or something so he could work with animals, but instead... his parents made him work as a biology teacher at their high school.

he hates everything about his job, but more than anything, he hates giving teens the REPRODUCTION TALK.

he’s proudly out of the closet ✌😎
