It was great. really really great to be done with school FOREVER. it's not that he didn't like learning (because there are things that peeks his interest) but when he was force to do something that he didn't want too he hated it. that's why when he finally graduated, he didn't care to make it a big deal. he didn't care that he didn't invite any of his friends out to the graduation. he just wanted to be done and also he didn't want his dad to be rude to him in front of his friends either.

so that's why he's here now. here at lotte world to celebrate with jisoo. he wanted to at least have some fun. I mean after he got back to his parents lets just say things got pretty heated and now he can finally do what all college graduates were doing - relaxed. "so what exactly is on your agenda to do today?" he turned to looked at jisoo. "I think we should definitly dress up and take a photostrip for the memories for sure." after all this would help him remember that he and jisoo has hung out before. still couldn't get over his whole I haven't met you embarrassment at the even the other day.

[lgcjisoo]

jisoo's very happy that byungho and he continued to re-connect after their meeting again at the red carpet. especially after he had not made a very stand-out first impression. but they were so busy on the musical and there were so many people that were a part of the ensemble - heck, he only had one line, he doesn't actually expect people to remember him from that! and he heard about byungho's graduation, which is why they're here today. that's definitely something he cannot relate to, since jisoo never went to post-secondary.

"making sure we have a fun time, of course," jisoo says in response to byungho's question. he knows they're both rather easy-going and that it should be a good outing. "i... really want to get a few snacks from each of the floors. my treat, so don't feel the pressure... i usually don't go crazy with what i eat, but they have so many themed snacks. really want to try the gelato or get a bubble tea." of course he will pace himself. "but i agree, we should rent the costumes and take lots of photos together. do you like amusement park rides?"

[lgcbyungho]

byungho raised an eyebrow at the other, "having a fun time?" leading up to graduation was super stressful for him and his family. he doesn't know how that happened but maybe that was the magical power that his parents had. making something fun into something very stressful. "snacks? is this your definition of fun? eating snacks?" he asked jokingly but byungho nodded and didn't voice any disagreement because he too wanted a snack or five. "let's do it all! make the most of our time while we're here"

there was so many things to do that byungho wonder if they had the time, but standing and stalling was not going to help them. "I love amusement park ride! we can go on a couple of them too. might as well do a little bit of everything!" make their money worth. this was technically his first time here as an newly graduate student so he felt like with his nice income why not spoiled themselves. "let's get dress first, and then we can go to get a snack! I was thinking bubble tea first because i'm thirsty but if there's a certain snack that is calling your name let me know!"

⏤ congratulation on the baby

word count of 304

with the news of heo aecha and kim hyuncheol second child made its round around the company. byungho had to admit that this was probably the best time to look around for the perfect, gift.

even though he wasn't sure what someone like heo aecha would need for this baby that she couldn't or didn't already have that's why he brought the one person who had 4 kids to help him search around. also she made him feel a little guilty for not visiting home as often.

"mom, what do you think?" as he lifted up some new balances that he though were cute. "these are cute and comfortable! stylist too." from the expression that his mother gave him he assume that the correct answer to his picked a fat no. maybe he'll look else where.

the next store was one his mother picked. a place filled with nothing but baby clothes. "it wouldn't hurt to by a variety of sizes. babies grow fast." his mother suggested. that was a good idea, so he began to start looking around for what his mother suggested a variety of clothes. after looking around, byunhgo was able to find two different kinds of overalls the cutest part; the front pocket was bunny.

"oh what about a plush toy?" byungho wondered. kids love pluishes so why not start a collection early for the child. looking of course to keep it on brand for him a white bunny with long floppy ears. this could end up being something that the baby grow attached to and have for the rest of his life, like a blankie but that's only something he had hoped.

with the gift purchase and neatly wrapped. bnyungho smiled at his mother and thanked her for the help. as a thank you he took his mother shopping.

[lgcjinyoung]

[ X ]

jinyoung was excited when byungho shared his plans to come over for dinner. he knew jinseo was out for the night and probably wouldn't have time to cook. so for him to come back to them either still chatting or having some left overs in the fridge would definitely benefit his older brother too.

however the moment he opened the door his attention was completely on byungho, a smile on his lips as he let the elder male into their apartment.

having made sure the place was at least decently clean, jinyoung steps aside to let the actor into their humble living quarters, leaving room for him to take off his coat and shoes as he took the bag of groceries from byungho's hands. "you're all good hyung. I'm sure we can fix something together from this."

[lgcbyungho]

byungho took a step inside the apartment and wander around the first question that slip from between his lips was "is jinseo home?" if the older brother was than maybe he could share some great news that he hasb't really shared with many. it was nothing bad, it was good new.

slipping out of his shoes and coat he took another glance around for a moment "did you clean up for me?" byungho said as a joke. he was almost sure that they kept the house pretty clean already. "what do you have for us to make?" byungho asked. it would be easier to just order something but if there was something that they could whip up it was be more fun. "fair warning though, i've never really cook on my own." he shyly confessed "but i can probably help with the more simple stuff."

[lgcbyungho]

⏤ tea time

with @lgcaeri

byungho felt the nerves running through him the closer he got to aeri’s studio. sweating palm, heart beat rate increasing and that feeling you get when people say “butterflies in my stomach”. he was fine just a minute ago when he was out purchasing the tea and dessert but now that he was inches away he was starting to feel…nervous.

“calm down” he mumble to himself. even if it was just him in the hallways he didn’t want to disturbs the others. leaning his back against the wall he took in a deep breathe and let it out slowly before continue his journey. as he approached her studio byunghi knock on the door “aeri…sunbae” he said politely. “It’s me, byungho.” his voice sounded a little shaky waiting for her to open the door. “Did some more order tea and dessert? With a side of Byungho?”

[lgcbyungho]

⏤ catching up with two

with @lgcjinyoung

"it's been too long." byungho couldn't help but smile at the familiar miss. how long has it been? if you asked him he couldn't even remember because they were too busy. however thankfully they had a break. a break that allowed them both some time to sit, talk and catch up. but exactly what did byungho wanted to bring.

30 minutes before he arrived at the other place, he had stopped by his own fridge to see what was in there. empty it wasn't a surprise to him. since this space was a shared space it was hard to always keep it stock with just his stuff too.

so before he ended up in front of jinyoung door he had stopped by the convenience store to pick up some snacks before ending up where he was right now, in front of jinyoung apartment. "i brought some snacks! i wasn't sure what to bring beside these."

⏤ graduation

tldr; byungho is finally graduation and to be honest he wants to keep it pretty low key. the only ones that attended his graduation would be his parents and siblings.

byungho was excited.

not because he was done but because he knew that this was going to be last time he will ever have to step foot into a class room setting again (unless he gets a role with a school setting but that's a different story.)

he was graduating today with a bachelor of science in business management. something that his parent push him to do but to honest he saw the value in it. so it didn't trake much for byungho to agree to the terms and condiution.

he just needed to pass and he can continue with his acting career. but if he didnt land a role by the year 2026 than he would have to give up and run the family business. that year was the year his father wanted to retire.

although he landed some good roles and modeling gigs he wonder if it was enough to prove to his father that he was good enough. he was going to do something great and that he would eventually make it big maybe not just in korea but internationally? ( a boy can dream)

turning his head, he made eye contact with his family. boy would it had been nice to have his friends here but he didn't want to bother them. he was busy and so were they maybe they can. maybe he will catch up with them individually, and one by one tell them that he was finally graduated from this place.

lost in his own thought he almost didn't notice that his row was up next until the person behind him tapped on his shoulder. snapping back into reality he smiled at them before standing up and following the crowd.

he was the last in the family to graduate. the baby of the family so of course this a big deal.

even though today was going to be a day of celebration byungho couldnt help but wonder what his father is really thinking. is he happy for him? will he force him to quit his acting career when it's still growing? somtimes it suck being the only boy in the family. beside why must it be a boy? why cant his sister take over. they seem more eagar than him anyway.

"seong byung" he heard his nbame.

collecting his composure, he smiled and walked across. tonight the celebration will begin and tomorrow his father will ask him about his future plans and goals. boy that will be fun.

[lgcbyungho]

“i can see you being good at those very strategic games.” to byungho that was a compliment so he hope that sanghyun saw it as that. as someone who loves arcade and such strategy wasn’t his stronger suit but he always attempted to play in order to get better. “games like battleship or maybe the claw machine.” he added.

listening to sanghyun speak he had his mouth shape in an o form “wow, remember to hire me for more of your cf when you have the chance.” byungho said jokingly. he had already work with sanghyun’s brand once but he would had love to work with him against some other time “but no now i think i’m still with jinseo’s brand.” which he actually really love doing.

Trainee days were tough and he was joking when he said that it engrained in them to always respect their seniors. Nodding his heads in agreement he let that conversation ended as is. The last thing he wanted was for someone to hear him say the wrong thing by accident.

as they walked through the aisle with endless amount of claw machine Byungho just walked through with wide eyes in awe. He couldn’t just pick a random one but he needed the plushie to be cute “wouldn’t it but cute if we both won???” He said looking at the plushies machine “we could have matching plushies!” He wasn’t the most competitive one out there because really this was all for fun! there was a machine that caught his eye not because he felt lucky more like he wanted the items inside “are you familiar with the bear bears?”

[lgcsanghyun]

sanghyun laughed as he questioned, “how did you know i would be good at that?” he couldn’t think on top of his head any strategy video games he’s played, but when he thinks about some of his variety show experiences, it’s apparent that strategic thinking is something he enjoys. “if the company lets me, sure. but it seems like jinseo needs you more than i do.” sanghyun didn’t mind considering the theme that elysium had and it did give him a chance to scout other models.

“both of us?” sanghyun repeated, unsure if he would do well with the claw machine. it’s not like every day he’s tried the claw machine, but maybe luck would be in his favor. but watching byungho’s reaction caused him to smile, almost as if he was feeling bad for the bet that they just agreed to seconds ago. however, he had to remind himself that part of the reason they were at the arcade was to have some fun.

“hm? yeah, i am. some of my fans have brought it up to me in passing. they said i remind them of…ice bear?” he’s unsure of the name considering it’s been a while since he’s watched animation shows, but he’s aware of the show thanks to the fans and his fondness for bears. “the one that looks like a polar bear.” sanghyun added belatedly, hoping that clue would help byungho figure out which one he’s talking about. “but my favorite one is the brown bear…grizzly, right?” he asked for confirmation while looking at the claw machine. seeing the three bears inside the claw machine, sanghyun asked, “is there a bear that you relate to the most?” 

[lgcbyungho]

byungho only laugh and played along because truth be told he didn't know "i just know, everyone is good at everything if they try plus you just look like someone who would be good." they say never judge a book by its cover however, he still does it anyway. "jinseo always needs me" he said in a joking manner. it's not like he meant it, but it was funny to think about how their works intertwine with one another.

"yeah, just know you might not always get it in the first go!" the claw machine were anything but easy. they were and at times could be extremely tricky too. "they also fool you." he warned. "one time i try to grab something and it was working but before it made it to the drop point it fell right back in with the other toys." he said with sad puppy dogs eyes. "but now it's just fun for me" byungho laugh it off.

would it be wrong to say he agree with the an and ice bear does suite him? "yeah, that's grizzly alright. but i think i can see why they call you ice bear/" byungho said while rubbing his chin. "it's your calm nature." he added "i like panda, he's a little crazy and out there. seems like my party kind of guy." he laugh "even though i dont party like that anymore" holding up his wallet he look to see if he had some bills. "well i think i have enough for 10 games? so that's 10 tries! think you can get in less than that?"

[lgcbyungho]

⏤ out on the carpet

with @lgcjisoo

the one thing that byungho loves about the year end events were always going to be meeting new faces. as much as he loves the red carpet and walking down it for photos and stuff the part was socializing. say what you want but this boy could talk a lot. his outfit was one that match more of the darkness, wearing a sahde of black because black just look good on him.

"oh hi, i'm seong byungho. you're han jisoo right?" byungho said as he walked up to the other. he didn't remember ever getting the chance to meet with the other but he did. "how are you?" he ask . that first encounter was always a bit awkward for him. he didn't like it but how else was he going to get to know the model. "did you enjoy the red carpet?" another awkward question in his opinion.

[lgcjisoo]

"byungho! you forgot me from newsies already?" jisoo gasped in mock hurt, but he was joking. after that musical, which he was only an ensemble in, with one line, he didn't think anyone would remember him from, and their paths barely intercepted as is. "always, i do enjoy it. i feel like there's always a need to try to show the best side of yourself... for potential.. anything. anything could happen."

the model had learned the hard way that when he wasn't on his best behaviour, things could fall through even when he couldn't see what was potentially in front of him and opportunities are out of his grasp. from simply being himself, or breathing the wrong way, or having a mean look - it's awful, truly, but being out in public, he had to put his best efforts in. unfortunate, but it's part of the gig. "have you been in anything exciting since newsies? do tell. i have to admit i am awful with catching up with dramas and the like."

[lgcbyungho]

byungho would say that he didn't have the best memory but when jisoo mentioned newsies he couldn't help but gasp. wow what an ass he might had come off. "i - i am soooo sorry." he cried almost wishing that such think as a reset button was real because in this moment, he was indeed embarrassed. "the musical felt like it was eon ago! I'm so sorry." how many apologies would it take for him to forget this moment ever happen.

"i was just about to ask you the same thing." byungho smile, there's been a few project that he has been able to do, one of his favorite would have to be "i was apart of a drama bullet inquiry." he said proudly "did you happen to see it?" of course he didn't mind if the other havent because with everyone's busy schedule he could only assumed. "it's okay if you havent, i'm sure your schedule is jam paack these days huh?"

[lgcbyungho]

⏤ bullet inquiry reunion

with @lgcjinseo

"hyung, let me see your drawing please!" byungho asked almost begging. it was the cutest thing ever when he saw his own that he really wanted to see everyone else's gift. bullet inquiry was byungho favorite (probably because it was his first) he really loves everyone on the set of the show. even if he didn't show it all the time.

running over to jinseo, he couldn't wait to talk to the other, it felt like a while since they last saw each other. he couldn't contain the kid inside of him "so, what do you think," he asked pulling out his picture. "doesn't it look like me?" staring at the picture in awe he couldn't help but smile loveing at it. "but anyways how have you been hyung? it's been so long since we saw one another!"

[lgcjinseo]

Once the models are done exchanging gifts (and Jinseo has had a good laugh now that he knows Maya was his Secret Santa, which is why she was being extra meticulous when fishing for what to give him), he follows the rest of the models back at the main party. Before he can get himself another drink Byungho interrupts his thoughts.

"Huh? What drawing?" Frowning in confusion, he waits for Byungho to give him some more context. Thankfully, Byungho delivers by showing off a cute drawing of Byungho in what Jinseo suspects is his Bullet Inquiry character. "Is that supposed to be you as Soohyun in Bullet Inquiry? It looks better than you." Chuckling, he shakes his head. "Of course, I'm kidding." Tilting his head to the side, shows off his gift from Maya instead. "I didn't get one. We models had a Secret Santa event instead."

[lgcbyungho]

"did you not get yours yet?" byungho asked with a confused look on his face. maybe the models were doing something else at the time that was busy walking around and greeting everyone else. but then again was it just for the actor. "wait i think this was a gift for the actors from our manager." he said with a laugh "oops, silly me." looking down at the drawing he nodded his head "yeah, me seong byungho as soohyun" byungho laugh hold the drawing next to his face.

it was interesting because it would had been nice if he could had seen a drawing for jinseo but then again that brought a light buld to his head. "oh, maya was your secret santa?" it's been awhile since he last talked to maya if anything he doesn't really remember the last time he had a conversation with her. "since you didn't get a drawing just know i have your christimas gift now. but anyways what did you get?"

[lgcbyungho]

@BUNNYHO JUST POSTED A PHOTO !

do you want to build a snowman??

[lgceunhye]

forgive and forget. a ( lgc retreat ) starter for @lgcbyungho

eunhye’s hunch was right when she was woken up first among everyone in team fabula and had the one responsibility that she disliked doing due to the sheer reactions she would get for doing it. waking up people when they already got less sleep the day before was not the ideal way to give a good impression especially to the other lgc agency people who joined the team. spending every bit of time she had with the team fabula members, eunhye would apologize for all of the methods she used to get them to wake up. but there were still a few more that she had to apologize and luckily, the protect your item game was the best (or maybe worst) opportunity to see some of her team members again.

deciding that she would look around to see where the other teams were before attempting the team challenge, eunhye had walked around the hallways looking for the other members but instead spotted byungho, who was one of the few people she needed to apologize for. catching up to him, she bowed her head immediately. “i’m so sorry for waking you up loudly this morning, byungho. i—um, hope you can forgive me for what i did!” she avoided eye contact with the actor for a couple of seconds, clinging onto the tiny bit of hope that he didn’t have a grudge on her after what she did. in an attempt to see the positive outcome, eunhye added, “and good job for getting your question right on the first try?”

[lgcbyungho]

sleep was just something that bungho didnt need. buyt with the amount of time that he was spending at the retreat he needed his sleep more than ever. he was exhausted but he knew that there would be time to sleep later. so when he was woken up by eunhye this morning byungho just knew that his face was the friendliness. but who does have a friendly morning face? whoever does needs to show byungho who to control his facial expression at least those that he just met and weren't close too.

"whst am i looking for again?" byungho asked himself as he was wandering around maybe instead of walking around by himself he should find someone and stick with them. it wasn't until he heard a voice that he remember from this morning walking towards his direction. maybe they could work together for this mission. hearing her apologize almost made him feel bad, it wasn't her fault she was doing what she needed to do. "oh thank you! it was an easy question" he said with a laugh. "almost i should be the one to apologize." he said as he lower his head slightly "i shouldn't had looked so anger, but in my defense it was pretty early and i cant help my facial expression." he bow again to apologies "so I'm sorry."

"did you enjoy the red carpet?" another awkward question in his opinion.

[lgcbyungho]

“scadalous?” byungho said with a raised of a brows. “what kind of man do you think I am? maybe I am doing something scandalous, you’ll never know.” it was a joke of course. to do something like that almost didn’t feel right (not yet, maybe far down the future he could ).

It really did if he was really into gaming than playing in these competition would be great way to gain some popularity and money. “yeah, I agree. maybe we should pick up gaming in case acting doesn’t work out.” byungho joke with the other. growing up with a family that only cared about money byungho always made sure he had a back up plan in case his first plan failed.

“hyung please, no one can forget you.” he said aas reassurance. maybe his joke hit a spot that he didn’t mean too. “I mean just look at you!” byungho said as he pointed out how handsome the other was. “unforgettable, you’ll have all the people chasing you and remembering you for a long time to come.”

choosing a place to eat was a little boring as a prize. byungho always like the idea of doing someone different or a little spontaneous. that’s what his sisters taught him. always keep people guessing and on their toes. no one should know your next move. it was like a game chess, a skill that he was good at but he has not beat jinseo. “alright that’ a better prize.” winner chooses the reward?“ he repeated to make sure they were on the same page. “I hope you don’t loose though, I have a pretty good idea on what I want the prize to be.”

[lgcsanghyun]

“mhmm, as you say.” sanghyun nodded, not wanting to add more to his words. seeing that they were in a rather public environment meant that sanghyun still had to be somewhat careful with his words, even if all he wanted to say was that fans could eavesdrop into their conversation. “if i was that skilled in non-rhythm games, i’d say that is a possible choice.” he chuckled, knowing that he wasn’t really taking the whole idea seriously. the logical side of himself wouldn’t be able to push through the gamer path due to the unpredictability. “but i think with the whole model brand thing, i probably have a better chance being a business owner.” sanghyun added later as he expressed some truth to his words.

turning his head towards byungho, his eyebrows furrowed as he watched the other’s reaction. giving a blank expression at first, he realized that perhaps he was being too serious and nodded his head. “alright, but i’m just saying… i don’t think i’m at the level yet of our senior artists… those are the ones that are absolutely unforgettable.” sanghyun knew how it was so engrained in their lives as trainees and debuted artists to remember their senior artists and some of the accomplishments they’ve made to pave the way for people like them. to him, those were the people that no one could really forget.

“yeah, winner chooses the reward.” he repeated, reassuring byungho that he wasn’t going to back out with the bet that they were setting up. “come on, let’s go to the claw machine aisle so you can decide which one you want to try…or as some people say, whatever gives you the good luck vibes.”

[lgcbyungho]

"i can see you being good at those very strategic games." to byungho that was a compliment so he hope that sanghyun saw it as that. as someone who loves arcade and such strategy wasn't his stronger suit but he always attempted to play in order to get better.

[lgcbyungho]

⏤ interview

word count: 274

"hello, everyone! how are you today?" byungho greeted the staffed that sat in front of him during the interview. these type of things always felt like a sit down with his parents so it was pretty fun for him.

sitting with his finger interlock, he place them on his lap to avoid fidgeting.

"this retreat was interesting." he said when asked how he felt about it. "it was nice getting to see some of my friends that i have not seen in awhile but i also enjoy getting to know the other people that i haven't met." it was pretty interesting that he was on fabula team but this did give him a chance to meet the girl group.

"the games provided were also a lot of fun! it was diffcult to work with people that i dont usually work with but i think we work together pretty well. i can't wait to see what other games we have coming up in this retreat." byungho who grew up playing games, didn't play to win but play for the fun of laugh and fun memories.

to think about something that stood out to him throughout this whole day, he was a sentiment guy that enjoyed talking about his life and others as well at catching up but he didn't want to go into detail about that.

"to be hoenst, the trust game was a lot of fun!" he laugh thinking about the incident. "trusting people to pour flour our head was a lot of fun, messy but still a lot of fun. i think i would be able to do better next time for sure."
