the confusion continues to grow when insu seems to be downright accusatory instead of probably trying to jest with him and poke at him for supposedly keeping a secret. the male downright can only blink back at his bandmate for a hot second there, for once honestly at a loss. "I uh... yes, I'm pretty sure?" he inquires back, even more thrown off by the excuses that insu was quick to follow up.
for the sake of his own peace and that of the band he decides to buy the excuses though and just brushes it off with a short laugh and a wave of his hand. "you got nothing to worry about there, really. you know I don't do relationships. so you're just creating a headache for yourself over nothing, man." with a shrug to emphasize his disregard to the suspicion, hoping to get some chill back into the guitarist and dispel this awkward tension that somehow lingered in the atmosphere.
insu kept telling himself he didn't care, that it didn't matter either way whether or not this girl was jaehyun's girlfriend. it didn't. it had nothing to do with him, yet here he was accusing the other male of dating someone while trying to cover it up as him just 'poking some fun' at the other. "you say that, but does she think the same?" he asks, the slightest smirk appearing as he looks at the other male.
rolling his eyes at what the other says to him, insu mutters something under his breath before sighing. "just make sure you don't screw up and lead her on. some tend to get clingy when you give them the wrong idea." he states, turning to see that there's a food stall nearby - he takes this moment to make his way over to grab some tteokbokki before returning, holding some out to the other. "before i dig in, want some?" he had to change the topic quick before he ended up pushing the other away.

there are several reasons why yuwol hesitated when it comes to trying out the band scene. the first is obvious, his father wouldn't approve. he can hear his father telling him, 'you'd be staining our legacy,' or something to that affect. eventually, yuwol overcame that hurdle on his own, but—there had been something else stopping him, which he still thinks about to this day. it's a different type of guilt than the one his father poses he should be feeling, as if he's overstepping in ( @insu-be )'s territory.
bands had always been insu's thing, yuwol witnessed firsthand the way insu struggled to achieve his dreams. it's a passion that yuwol doesn't exactly have—because to yuwol, music is survival—and it's something admirable, even though insu shouldn't have to endure all that he did to get where he wanted. insu had a difficult father, after all ( yuwol knows what that's like all too well, but it's different—at least his own father paid attention to him when he held a violin, it isn't the same for insu ).
to say he feels bad is an understatement—it feels as if he took what is meant to be insu's, tainting it. even when their relationship was still teetering on okay, yuwol isn't blind to the jealousy and envy brewing within. it's why yuwol tried to stay in his lane. yuwol had his violin, insu had his band. their paths shouldn't cross ( and by that point, yuwol should've realized their relationship can no longer be salvaged ).
but something shifted, somehow. and insu was bound to find out.
it slipped out in conversation. "i have band practice later," yuwol had said, realization hitting him much too late. the silent stretches for far too long, partially yuwol's fault. it takes many moments before he could talk again, but there is no hope to remedy the situation at this point. "i haven't told you about that yet," was all he could say.
apologizing would mean he isn't certain with his decisions, so he forfeits the notion. that doesn't stop the strange guilt to rise, nor does it quell the frustration that's bubbling.
maybe they shouldn't have met again.
there was never the option of doing music in his family, not when insu's father was set on him taking over the company and following in his footsteps. something such as 'music' was just not allowed no matter how much he had previously begged the man to let him follow his dreams when he was younger.
it was because of this that insu had to sneak around, joining a band without his father knowing and even having to wear a 'disguise' in order to prevent his family from even finding out that he was playing the guitar for gigs that even took place in such places as bars and clubs. if his father did find out? well he'd either be disowned from the family, or even would be yelled at and told that he was ruining their family's reputation by doing such a thing.
this was one of the reasons why he was even more determined to prove his father wrong, wanting to show him that insu could in fact do music and not bring the family down. insu wanted to be successful, he wanted to eventually sign with a company and debut before showing his father that the man had been wrong. maybe he even wanted some sort of praise from the man if he did manage to make it big out there in the entertainment industry. though that was all just wishful thinking on insu's part.
now, as he stands there staring back at yuwol's familiar face, he silently blinks a few times. what had he just said? was insu hearing this right? did the other male really just admit that he was also in a band?
maybe he heard wrong. there's no way that yuwol, the one who insu always had known to be playing the violin, would be in a band.
insu's eyebrows furrow as he tries his best to process this new information being thrown at him so suddenly. he's silent, his head filling with even more thoughts as he takes a moment before finally speaking, the slightest bit of frustration finally showing in his expression as yuwol's words finally sink in.
"you what?" he can't help the scoff that soon follows before continuing, his voice rising a bit. "you seriously couldn't just let me have this one thing could you?"
it's not like the band scene belongs to insu, though it was the only thing that he had which he could have of his own. something that he didn't really have to share with anyone from his past or his family. now what did he have left? "i can't even believe you right now, yuwol."
just a really quick ooc update! yes, i'm still here and i promise i didn't forget anyone with plotting, i've just been so tired from work these past couple weeks that i've just come home and gone straight to bed (obviously after showering and sometimes eating dinner....). basically, the past 2 weeks we were working 4 days a week/10 hour shifts and i was trying to get used to that schedule. the week that i do get used to it (this week) we're hit with a "oh we're going back to 8 hour shifts monday through friday again", on top of that we were down two machines monday so now we're pushing ourselves even harder to get caught back up on work. SO, saturday (because i have a fire dinner thing to go to friday after work) i will definitely get back on track with plotting and even welcoming the new peeps that joined recently! HOWEVER if you'd still like to continue plotting/want to start plotting please like this post here so that i can make sure not to miss anyone! c:
i would respond to dm's now/tonight but i'm too tired + dealing with a headache so it's best that i don't even try lol

standing off to the side after dana went off to quickly find a toilet and freshen herself up, he didn't expect his band mate to walk up to him. never the less bark at him almost as if he were- jealous? nah, that couldn't be. him and insu had always been strictly physical. for the sake of the band dynamics they'd made sure to set those boundaries.
so he's a tad at a loss at what to say as he slowly looks up from his phone screen to meet insu's face. the passive expression leaves him thinking that he can get away playing dumb- as if he hadn't picked up on the snark in his voice. "she's uh- not my girlfriend. we're just hanging out." perhaps he shouldn't lie like this but something tells him that this might be the most diplomatic approach. besides- for jaehyun it was nothing but a mere hang out after all.
there's a reason why insu keeps things only physical and nothing more, so even his own snide remarks to the other takes him almost by surprise. of course, being the stubborn ass that he is, he does his best to convince himself that he's just being nosy. yeah, that's totally what it was. it explains everything right now. even as he gives jaehyun an 'i'm not buying it' expression, insu rolls his eyes.
"you sure that's all it is? you two look like a couple." he then raises a brow slightly, still keeping his same resting bitch face ( as much as he possibly can ), before he glances off in the direction that the girl had gone in. "what's there to hide anyway? i'm just being nosy since i have nothing better to do right now." his attention returns back to the other male. "i just wanna make sure that your new relationship won't get in between our rehearsals and gigs coming up is all."
never in his life, or rather the amount of time that he had known jaehyun, had he thought he'd ever see the day that the other male would be on a date with someone. the image that he's currently seeing in front of him rubs him the wrong way, narrowing his eyes slightly as he watches from a distance and shakes his head slowly. it's true that this situation shouldn't bother him, but it does more than he'd like to admit. why? he's not even sure, or maybe he is and he'd rather deny it. either way, insu can't help but approach the other male at the exact moment his date walks off somewhere.
"don't you two look.... happy." he states as he looks at jaehyun. "i didn't think you had it in you to actually settle down." his words may seem a bit harsh, and he honestly wasn't meaning for them to be, though they just sort of slipped out without warning. the moment he says this he's already mentally kicking himself, though he still somehow manages to keep a neutral expression as usual, thankful for all those years of controlling his own facial expressions.
·͙⠀⠀hi there ! i'm em { she/her | +21 } and i'm excited to finally be back here at wannabe ( for like the 4th or 5th time?? idr ). i bring to you a new muse that i've been wanting to have for a little while now that has been super loud in my head for at least the past 3-4 months. kang insu. he's my sr media wannabe who comes from a wealthy family ( his father isn't very approving of his 'dream' and refuses to really acknowledge any of it while saying that insu will only bring shame to the family if he continues being 'stubborn' ). he's currently in a band which is a secret from his father ( basically insu has made it seem as if he gave up on his dream of being an idol, planning to really hit his father with the news if he ever debuts, sort of like an 'in your face' moment of sorts ).
i know this is late for an introduction, i usually have one up within an hour of being accepted, but i've been tired from work the past few days and decided to hold off until i was really ready to get things rolling. c: below i'll be listing a few 'fun facts' about insu ( some of which can even be connections/plot ideas and will be labeled as so ). so, if you'd like to plot and get something going for insu and your muse, feel free to like this post and i'll slide into your dm's ! ( also, i apologize for having it set to where he can only receive dm's from those he's following, i forgot to turn that off but it's open now )
