sun in our eyes.
@idjinsung / filming for three meals a day, past (2015) when we were footprints in the sand, stealing liquor, making plans
thereās something different about the air in jeju island. jaesun could very well be biased, having grown up here, literally, around the entire island bumping along in his parentās modestly sized tour bus. but, heās convinced. especially given how far from the city they are for this shooting, how rural the ranch is. the air just feels more fresh. cleaner. itās not true, of course, even the island canāt escape the dust, but jaesun doesnāt think about that. instead, he rises early in the morning, eyes squinted as he greets the camera in his room. he freshens up in the bathroom quietly as to not wake up the other cast and heads out to do the dishes like he promised he would the night before.Ā
heās humming oasisā latest title song and occasionally talking to the cameramen while he continues washing up when a car pulls up to the ranch. jaesun recognizes him as he jumps out the car and he grins, thankfulĀ to not be the only idol anymore (at least for the moment). heās done just fine without another one alongside him, but itās easier to riff off them without worrying about consequence or being too rude, too rowdy. it helps, too, that heās the sunbae in this situation. a win-win all around. heās met kwon jinsung, or sol of atlas, once or twice before, mostly backstage at music shows. he vaguely remembers the whole group introducing themselves to oasis, handing them signed cdās and all, and he remembers just how quiet jinsung had been. it makes him wonder why heād been invited to a variety show. but jaesunās had more than enough practice making the shy comfortable in variety settings, and it helps that the guyās easy on the eyes, so he figures itāll be fine. hell, it could even be fun.Ā
he wears that attitude with an exaggerated jaw drop for variety effect and morphs that into a wide grin as he slides his gloves off and sets them aside. he stands up to approach their new guest and, again, exaggerates his surprise with a,Ā āwow -- ah, hello! sol, right?ā jaesun reaches upĀ to adjust the comically large sunhat heās insisted on wearing every day on the show despite his stylistās protests, āfrom atlas, right?ā he starts singing boy in luv and imitates the point dance before breaking out into another grin and throwing his arm around jinsungās shoulder. the faster they break the ice, the better has always been jaesunās way to go.Ā āhyungs,ā he shouts back towards the house,Ā āwe have a new maknae!ā he laughs and ruffles jinsungās hair briefly. yeah, this could be fun.
