for a celebration, there seemed to be so many people down in the dumps. and while pansy understood (oh, did she ever understand), she felt like it was a shame– nights like this came once a year, and she wanted everyone to feel happy. welcome. if she was going to feel miserable and insecure, it didn’t mean everyone else had to too. so with a deep breath, she held her hand out with a smile. “come on. let’s dance,” she prompted. “just one song, and then i’ll leave you alone.”
STANDING IN LONESOME needing a moment to recharge, haneul has been moving about, conversing with people here and there throughout. however, after time, he needed some time in solitude, for he was growing tired of presenting himself too much. he is an introvert at heart; therefore, he did need some breaks from socializing. when pansy approached him, though, he examined his senior, smiling softly. “oh, but i just wanted to rest for a moment,” he laughed, though, never able to deny anyone of their wishes. “okay. one song, but then i just need a drink and a moment on a chair.”
when she heard someone step outside onto the balcony, jooae hastily hid her lit cigarette behind her body with two fingers. but when she realized it was only hanuel, she breathed out a sign of relief. “ oh, it’s only you. ”
“AND YOU ARE SMOKING,” he steps out onto the balcony, noticing jooae with a cigarette in hand. although personally not a fan of such habits, he could not entirely judge people for their habits. however, he glances at the cigarette, and she would be someone to know about his dislike toward it. “are you okay, jooae?”
“How much trouble do you think we’d be in if we slipped out and did something actually fun. Like, book a hotel room and order room service while watching pay-per-view?” Iris asked, leaning against the taller male as she plotted an escape. Company events, no matter the gesture, always bored her. “Let’s give the fans something to gush over, huh?”
“IF FANS WERE TO FIND out we walked out of the event together to book a hotel, they would only scream and have greater faith that we are together,” he looks over at the woman, chuckling softly. “we shouldn’t feed into their fantasy. they’ll start thinking i’m a player as well.” not only do fans think he is with iris following their appearance on we got married, but many comment on his relations with yunjae as well as sikyung. it’s as if the soloist cannot have any friends. “why? are you not having fun at this event?”
yunjae looked at him then, making straight eye contact. there was no spark of resentment or even desire in his eyes — just calm, honest acknowledgement. “ is that what you think of me ? ” he asked, not sounding offended, but almost curious. he didn’t bother denying what he had done, but he honestly hadn’t imagined that hanuel would have been that bothered by it. the comedic bit was a little old by now, though variety show hosts still tended to love yunjae’s impression of his label-mate. and judging by their laughter last week, jeong hyeong-don and defconn were no exception. part of why it was so effective was that yunjae didn’t actually make hanuel sound bad. the timbre of hanuel’s voice was already similar to naeil’s — a sign of so!ar’s vocal training, by no doubt — and all naeil did was make his own voice slightly less airy and slightly more sultry. the bird-like dancing on the other-hand — well, that could just be attributed to yunjae’s own lack of choreography practice in comparison to hanuel’s years of it. “ our fans like it when we mention each other. it makes the company seem like a family. ”
HESITATION LINGERS WHEN in contact with the opposite idol. previously, the two saught one another with interest; however, throughout time, the interest dwindled due to a competitive drive arising between the two of them. teasing, mocking, a push and pull existed between them; thus, naturally, the comments began to make an appearance upon media. to make matters worse, a video was shared not long ago that showed the two rather close to one another; therefore, fans and media mistook the two as to being intimate. that was not the case at the time. with yunjae mentioning haneul till this date, the comments only continues, and the soloist worries about his image. “yes, but fans do not think we are like brothers, yunjae. they only like to assume we are partners, which is not the case.” he sips on the champagne, staring at the other. “the comments and mocking needs to come to an end.”
i want to apologize for being mia !!! i am working with foreign exchange students this semester as well as with another internship on top of classes so your girl is busy this year but eeee please still love me
his first official company event since his hiatus ended was filled with a lot of claps on the back, expressions of congratulations, and offers of free drinks that he physically could not take. by the third time he gave his drink away only to be handed yet another one, yunjae knew that he wasn’t being unreasonable to think that it was getting fucking ridiculous. he had checked to make sure the coast was clear before taking his flute of champagne and dumping into what he was pretty sure was an artificial plant. only, it was clear that the coast hadn’t actually been clear, since when he lifted his eyes, they met the gaze of another member from the company — just as the last beads of alcohol rolled out of his glass and onto the plastic, waxy leaves. “ — it looked thirsty, ” he said as he placed the empty glass on the tray of a server passing by.
“RIGHT . . .” the word slipping through, greeting the opposite idol with a stoic facial expression. moments before, he was in conversation with a member of the upper division within management, haneul fairly acquainted with those in charge due to his years with the company. however, a person can only take in so much dry language before needing to separate for more entertaining content. yunjae was not the first person he wanted to come across, but, nonetheless, there he was standing before the idol who is returning from a hiatus. an idol in which haneul was once well acquainted with in a more intimate manner, but their connection falling through only to turn sour with tease. “i heard you mentioned me yet again in another appearance. making fun of me again, huh? you must love tainting my image.”
this event marked jinah’s fourteen years spent at the company. she would come to this party every year and it would hit her that she had been at so!ar for just over half of her life. truth be told, the veteran idol would not have been here if she had it her way but she was old enough to understand that she had to attend to show her face and therefore support for the company. they had done a lot for her in the past but it wasn’t as much as she would have liked. still, getting dressed up the way she wanted was always a good thing for her. standing on the edge of the dance floor with a near empty flute glass in her hand, jinah pulled a smile to someone. “ are you enjoying yourself ? “ this was all about appearances and she wanted people to believe she was doing better - rumors surrounding her needed to be put to bed, whether they were true or not …
“OH, JINAH . . .” the initial words spoken when noticing the opposite idol approaching from afar, the two senior idols with a flute of champagne in hand. fourteen years with the company, and haneul continues to abide to all expectations and requirements. there is no break for senior idols. no matter how much of his life has been dedicated to so!ar, he cannot ask for a single free night. rather, he’s encouraged to attend even more than the trainees as well as younger, newer idols within the industry. having people like haneul and jinah only helped the company’s image---showcasing the loyalty idols have for the company, and that’s the message they want. “i want nothing more but to be home with my kitten, lucy. i am just exhausted.” he glances at her, a small smile as he’s kind to all idols, especially those who started in the company together. “can you believe we’ve been here for fourteen years now?”
“She’s like my sister,“ he went on. “I love her like a sister and I reckon she feels the same way about me. It’s always been like that. I thought you knew.”

BACKGROUND.
there is very little known about haneul’s past. despite the numerous interviews posted throughout media about the soloist, little is known about his upcoming aside from being raised in seoul, south korea. he was raised in a middle class family, attended a public school nearby, and was a studious one thanks to his father who is a professor raising him to do well.
truth be known, though: when haneul was twenty-two, he was backstage following a concert, only to learn that a fan stayed behind wanting to meet the artist. being a nice individual, he allowed entrance, guards surrounding to protect him. to his surprise, he learned that the fan was an older woman. what she said, though, caused a great reaction. she was his biological mother. there is confusion, pain, and anger. simply, though, he asked her to leave.
nonetheless, he continues to call his parents those who raised him all throughout his adolescence. he did learn, however, that he was left at their doorsteps when younger; therefore, his biological mother left him behind. she was young, they said, unable to care herself; therefore, unable to care for a baby.
this is something media will never learn; no one will. he does not like talking about it, for he also believe that it’s not integral to the person he is. he simply wants to recall his family as the mother and father that took him in long ago.
haneul became a trainee during so!ar’s first year of establishment. having been a dancer in a company, the young teen was taken in by an agency, them believing he had great potential. many questioned why someone who’s only thirteen was under the company, curious as to what will follow from the dancer. to their surprise, he debuted as maknae of a group in 2008. the group had great influence, a strong following, but did not survive for many years as the members got older and many enlisted for service.
haneul even served his two years alongside a former group member. when returning, though, he decided to continue a career as an idol, for it’s all he knew. after all, he’s been with the company since 2005. he debuted as a soloist in 2014, and, luckily, people already adored him due to his experience with the group. this helped with building a stronger fanbase for himself.
due to the fame, he’s been in dramas, movies, many variety shows, as well as a mentor for younger idols and trainees. he has toured, and haneul is an idol well established and known under the company. he has even gained the title of one of the best dancers signed with the company.
he his a humble idol, very respectful, and is smiley throughout interviews. he loves to interact with fans, and he does a lot of charity. often on social media, he likes to post pictures with his family or with his kitten, lucy.
he is a sweet man, cares a lot, very mature for his age, for he did have to grow up fast thanks to the industry.
