born in the heart of seoul , kai was the second child born to single mother , jisoo . his father had left the picture when he was only 5 years old , trading in his mom for a younger woman and a life with no parental responsibilities . and as a result kai never knew who his father really was and never wanted to know him either . he , aramis and his mother lived a fairly average life to begin with in south korea , just about making ends meet but the trio were happy because they had one another and that was enough for them .
kai’s athletic ability was solely thanks to older brother aramis who got him into sports and more specifically tennis . the pair were good at the sport together and kai was a quick learner . it was clear from an early age , kai had talent , could win match after match of tennis if he put his mind to it . and given how young he was at the time , tennis coaches at the leisure center were often left impressed at just how quickly he picked up the sport and eventually convinced his mother to enrol him for classes , if only to brush up on his technique because they really did believe in him . and naturally , she agrees . he attends every other day after class and loves every second of it . it becomes a natural part of his routine growing up and plays the sport throughout highschool , only to get scouted in his final year and eventually offered a scholarship to study at ss university . and while aramis stopped playing the sport early on , there’s still a part of kai that longs for him to pick up a racket and play again so not is he only playing tennis for himself but also in the hopes of convincing his older brother to do what he’s good at .
given he never thought he’d get to college , he accepts the scholarship almost instantly . figuring it’ll be good for him to explore the world and with hopes of being able to play other sports he’s come to enjoy over the years too . his sports of choice are tennis , lacrosse and hockey and he could gladly play any of them all day everyday .

likes to look after himself as in works out often , if he’s not working out in the gym , you can catch him in the pool doing laps . saying that he doesn’t eat clean often , if anything he eats the worst foods but still manages to stay fit .
very competitive , he’ll accept almost any challenge just to prove that he can and will win unless it involves him injuring himself in anyway then he’d say no but otherwise he’s very determined in everything he does .
lookswise think deja vu era seonghwa ... aka with the long hair .. sometimes in a ponytail MDFNHGJKMNHJKJSFDH
bit of a clean freak … room is immaculate , he’ll tidy everyday because he hates clutter . if people come over , he’ll do everything himself so they don’t disrupt his environment too much .
as for wanted connections , i’d love anything but specifically like a friends type group of friends that get up to no good together , exes .. messy ones , one night stands or flings or fwb , matched on tinder / didn’t match and now we’re stuck here together aha wanna go on a date anyway ? childhood friend if from seoul , unrequited crush either on his side or your muses , i’m also always down for just going off chem and seeing what happens <3h
tell us what you liked about jewel in the bedroom or tell kat that you have a crush on her back
𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐓𝐇 𝐎𝐑 𝐃𝐀𝐑𝐄 — 𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒂𝒄𝒄𝒆𝒑𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 .
“ it feels a little too intrusive to talk about what someone is like in the bedroom — i’m sure jewel knows what i liked about her so on this occassion , i’ll be having a fun chat with kat . ”
“M’TINDER MATCH SAID HE WANTED to do it without a rubber so i told him he’s about to make my dreams come true. y’know. being a milf and making me mums a pair of foxy nans.” darcy snickered at the recollection while idly flipping through the pages of a random time magazine abandoned on the counter. her long sculpted legs crossed one over the other as if she were trying to find the most comfortable position to be in after a short dip in the pool. “fella blocked me so quick, not even sonic the hedgehog could believe it. imagine being thicker than a plank? couldn’t be me.”
while he was nodding along with every word she spoke , the truth is , he couldn’t have been more lost if he tried . for one , she was saying words that simply didn’t make sense to him or that he’d never heard of before . he doesn’t even know what a foxy nan was nor is he sure he wants to find out . the only part that does seem familiar is sonic the hedgehog and he doubts that was the topic of her conversation . “ did they release a new sonic game ? ” he blurts out , “ sorry — i didn’t quite get much else of what you said except the part where you mentioned sonic . ”
the daily commute never got old. link smiled into the breeze. in the early morning, he was completely alone. it was too cold and, frankly, boring to be up on the deck all alone for most other sailors. it was the perfect chance for link to take in the great seas before him.
normally he would walk right over the deck, go downstairs, get breakfast, and return to his room. today, though, he could not help himself. he was forced to stop and stare out on the ocean. he set his hands on the white, dewy rails. he was shocked that the water had not become ice. he leaned into the sea’s wind and took a deep breath of salty water.
kip, kip, kip.
link turned around. was someone… working out? in this weather? this early in the morning? link felt exhausted just looking at them.
link jumped. he was being called! he swallowed. his chest stung. he looked carefully around. there was a tennis ball, in fact, and link walked to it.
“i-i’m not good at throwing.” link warned, voice shaking. he took the ball anyway. “can i- uh- i-i really can’t throw. do you want, maybe, i can walk around? i’ll come walk around.” he called out.
on most mornings , kai passed maybe one or two people who also happened to be early risers , it was even rarer to hold a conversation with anyone before 9am . so when the other is walking by and even stops to respond , it leaves him surprised . dropping the tennis balls into the nearby bucket , he looks at him and nods in response , “ oh no worries , you don’t have to throw it — i figured it’d be quicker than you walking all the way round but whatever floats your boat , bud . ” as long as he got the ball back by some means or other , kai wasn’t entirely fussed how it got returned . running fingers through unkept hair , he reaches for his jacket and carefully slides his arm into either sleeve , beginning to pack all his belongings away as he waited for the other .

she wasn’t sure how well they’d fair , now that they’re seeing each other again more often . it wasn’t that there might be lingering feelings , but the way things ended between them became the reason for that tension in the air . and no matter how hard she tried , she couldn’t avoid it , especially now . a smile sits on pink brims , shaking her head slightly— she should’ve been aware that despite the break up , kai would know her tell , more than she does at times . “ it’s nothing , grandma called and i got homesick , ” she sighs heavily , gaze falling to her lap and watching her fumbling with her thumbs . he wasn’t wrong though , her parents only allowed her on the boat if she took up a major they wanted for her and not what she wanted— but even with the latter , she still wouldn’t have gotten her way . “ i’m okay , thank you though— i wouldn’t turn down the lemon drizzle if i didn’t get this one , ” she declines politely , her appetite was lost after that call , the poor cake being an indication . erin couldn’t grasp what she was feeling , she wasn’t nervous around him , but her chest was heavy . it has been like that for a while now— she would get excited to see him , but would suddenly feel like she’s got the weight of the world on her shoulders . she didn’t realize she zoned out for a second , the sound of his voice bringing her back . “ i might , i’ve got some studying to do— if it gets too noisy , i’ll move to the library , ” she hums softly , tilting her head as her thoughts float about in her head . “ if i don’t feel like studying , i might possibly jump into the ocean , meet some friends down there , ” she teases , scrunching her nose playfully . “ wanna come with ?” she was only joking , of course . it confused her , really because all of a sudden , all that hanging tension was no where to be found .
he’d told himself time and time again — he was over eunji yang . time spent repeating such words to himself had him convinced that he was totally fine with their break up , he’d moved on and was now finally in a place of content . so why did his chest feel tight whenever he saw her now ? as if he was being suffocated in confused and mixed feelings that’d suddenly decided to brew from nowhere . and while he knew it was in his own best interest to avoid her if he could , he still finds himself drawn to her . able to read her like an open book and yet it’s as if he was starting chapter one for the first time . “ she must miss you — nothing wrong with being homesick though . i’m homesick all the time , it gets easier . just think , when you do go home , how happy a reunion it’ll be — that helps me anyway . ” it sounds silly out loud but it worked for him , often only needing to remind himself that he’d appreciate home a whole lot more once he finally returned . it was typical erin to prioritise studying , much like himself , so it’s the addition of the words that follow which really catch him by surprise , unable to stop the raise of his brows . and the invitation itself leaves him bewildered — she was joking , he knows her well enough to know that much . plus no exes invited them to do anything with one another but why did he long to say yes ? like he would’ve every single time in the past if she asked him to do anything with her . seconds of silence consume them before he smiles at her , “ i have a feeling it’ll get noisier , might be worth snatching up a good spot in the library while you can . ” when in doubt , avoid avoid avoid — a motto that’d become a daily part of his life at this point . “ you know , i am a fan of swimming so maybe i will jump into the ocean with you at some point but for now , what i want most is for you to eat well and study well too . ” and he means every word of it . the only thing he wanted was for her to be well even after their past . he knows better than anyone that she deserved that much even if he couldn’t explicitly make sure of it himself anymore . “ i’m having kimchi pancakes if you feel up to eating today — finally learned to make them myself , disclaimer though , they’re not as good as my moms . ”
sujin’s head was finally no longer spinning , but that didn’t mean there weren’t a million thoughts still churning . this was a talk she suspected to have five years from now , or maybe more , so she was happy to put a pin into it for now . she laughs softly . ‘ well then , tell me your favorite color and i’ll try to find one . ’ which may be hard right now— or at least , until they reach their next port . it felt nice to laugh after attempting to force down the bubble of emotions in her throat , but she immediately pulls a face at kai’s taste in candy . ‘ you actually like those ? ’ and while she’s teasing him , she does store the information away in the back of her head . her arms drop unceremoniously to her sides when she unlaces them from around kai , sinking her teeth down into her lower lip . sujin tries to avoid the awkwardness brewing as much as she can , turning to grab her bag from the desk . ‘ something trashy ? hmm , should we watch one of those dating shows— love castle or whatever it’s called ? ’ she turns back to him then . ‘ we should get going so we can start our binge . ’
though they’d somehow managed to overcome their wave of sadness and disappointment , both feelings still linger deep within kai . pushed down for later when he was alone , not exactly wanting to burden sujin with his feelings as well as her own . “ favourite colour ? hm , i don’t think i have one . maybe blue or green , they’re both calming colours . ” though he doubts there’s any colour that sujin wouldn’t manage to pull off . he pulls a face at the tone of her comment , figuring that she definitely wasn’t a fan of the same candy he liked . “ i like that they’re covered in sugar . i like sour tasting candy in general , the stuff that’s made to ruin teeth . ” mainly because for him , it was a once in a blue moon thing . most of the time he dare not allow himself to even visit the sweet shack when he was training vigorously . “ i’ll be honest , i don’t know any of the dating shows on there but this love castle doesn’t sound too bad . ” he wonders if it’s a step too far to want to hold her hand or throw his arm round her shoulders and so refrains instead reaching for the door and allowing her to step out first . “ i wonder if they have toxic waste yet . last time the shelf was empty . ”
the fact that their sports were truly, wildly different wasn’t lost on duckie. if not for the fact that she’d started surfing at the ripe old age of five, she might’ve been more hesitant with her friends. it just wasn’t in her nature to be cautious. “it’s a different ride out there, but the practice out here will get your body used to the movement. we’re gonna go slow, i promise. and i’ll be looking out for you the whole time!” she vowed. she explained how to bail when he inevitably wiped out so he wouldn’t hit his head or be too surprised by the waves, but she knew she’d be there in seconds if and when it happened. “oh mate, i’ve always been a little fish. it’s in my blood. but i wasn’t always good! it’s like everything else, it just takes practice. even balance is all practice. you weren’t a legendary tennis player your first time out, were you?” she teased.
if anything he’s glad there’s someone else around who’s as passionate about a sport as he is . someone who completely understood what it was like to enjoy doing something and to also be exceptionally good at it . he was in awe of duckie particularly because it was no easy feat being able to master unpredictable waves and always having to remain on high alert for the unexpected . tennis was far simpler in comparison . “ ha , i wish i was a legendary player from the moment i tried it out but it took some practice and a lot of stern words from tennis coaches . ” he goes over what she’s taught him so far , repeating moves and words — anything to help him for when they inevitably brave the sea . “ you must miss this when we’re cooped up on the ship ? i know i’d be losing my mind if there was no tennis court on board . ”
there’s something about kai that has sujin always ready to drop everything she’s doing when he calls . it’s weird , really , the way he was able to come into her life and they were able to get on as if they’d known each other for longer than they have . she lights up a bit when he agrees to the impromptu hair dying session she’s suggested , a small , silly grin taking over her features . ‘ oh hush , i won’t mess it up . ’ she watches as kai ruffles his hair with a soft expression . ‘ well , i don’t know about that— we could always buy you a wig until your hair grows back , ’ she laughs softly . ‘ they make really good ones these days . ’ sujin’s playfulness comes all too easily when around kai , her usual off - putting demeanor suddenly disappearing . her eyebrows raise slightly at his words , and she looks up at the taller . ‘ well , i do like surprises— it all depends on the kind of surprise , i must add . nothing scary is allowed . ’ sujin can’t resist the sudden eye roll that takes over , a sly grin on her lips . ‘ oh stop it— you know you have my heart . ’
getting his hair dyed definitely wasn’t on his agenda that day nor would he ever usually trust anyone enough to mess with his hair but it didn’t take much convincing at all to allow sujin to do it . for reasons unknown to him , he trusted her with more than just his hair , he’d let her tattoo his entire arm if she asked and it’s an alarming thought given that she wasn’t officially anything more than a friend . “ it’s not reassuring at all to hear that you’ve thought about alternatives if you do mess it up . ” kai points out , unable to contain the roll of his eyes , though it’s all done in good fun . “ nothing scary ? don’t tell me you’re afraid of horror movies and spend more time hiding behind a pillow than you do watching the movie ? ” never did he ever have sujin down as someone who was afraid of anything , in fact to him , she seemed fearless — a trait he’d come to find admirable . “ oh for real ? i have mun sujin’s heart ? can i get that in writing in case you try to take it back further down the line ? ”
sujin doesn’t know what’s going to happen next— she can only hope that this doesn’t ruin their relationship or throw a wrench into how she feels about him . she hasn’t even thought of how she would tell him , and yet here they are , talking about a child before she’s even said that she liked him . sujin laughs lightly then , and it feels good to . ‘ only if i get to wear one of those cute tennis dresses when i do . ’ the tension was slowly leaving the room , but sujin could still feel tiny twists in the pit of her stomach . regardless of that , sujin has been able to swallow down any emotions that were still attempting to bubble up to the surface , not really wanting to end up crying all over again . she doesn’t think she has enough energy to cry anymore . biting the inside of her cheek , sujin is prepared for kai to tell her that he wants space , and she was more than willing to give it to him . she stops reaching for her bag when kai speaks , and brushes her hands against the front of her top . ‘ i’m good with sweet shack— i haven’t had sour worms in a while . ’ sujin smiles lightly and disentangles herself from him , although she immediately misses the warmth . she wasn’t much a movie person , but something to focus on for another hour or so would be greatly appreciated right now . ‘ we could always pick something on netflix ? i don’t really know what’s popular these days— i’ve been watching old shows these days . ’
the uncertainty of where they’d go after this was overwhelming yet he dare not ask what any of this meant for them . doing so , would only make it all so much real and he’s not entirely convinced it’s a conversation they needed to have there and then . “ if you’re not in a tennis dress , what’s the point ? ” he jokes , or at least tries to — anything to dissolve the atmosphere into something more calmer . it was what they both needed after all . a few moments of serenity after the storm . “ sweet shack it is then , i’m feeling some fizzy cola bottles , ” if it wasn’t cold before it definitely was now once she unwraps herself from his body , leaving him stood on his own and unsure what to do with himself . wanting to prevent his hands from fidgeting , he buries them deep within the pockets of his hoodie . “ sure , netflix sounds good . i’m sure there’s something trashy we can watch for a while but first — sweets , i think we could both use a little sugar . ”
his mood shifts quickly , relieved that it was kai that had found him in the bar . it was pretty late , but this was how they hung out anyway , it would be a whole party if jae was around too . jin tried to resist an eye roll , but decided to express his feelings towards the male’s statement . “ here i am— looking out for you , preventing you from getting poisoned and i’m still the bad guy— i’m truly hurt , ” he places a hand over his chest , shaking his head in dismay . of course , he was only teasing— wouldn’t be them if they didn’t push on each other’s buttons . “ since i’m such a nice guy , i guess i’ll pay for your drinks tonight— you owe me lunch tomorrow though , ” jin finishes his first glass , ordering another as he waited for kai to get his . “ i went up to the lighthouse today to take some pictures , went on a trail— just exploring the island ‘til i’m tired , ” he nods a thanks towards the bartender , taking a sip from his drink that tasted stronger than his previous one . “ what you been up to ? what trouble what you been causing ?”
he debates over texting jae to join the pair but ultimately decides against it , figuring the other probably wouldn’t even check his phone this late . “ i think saving me from getting poisoned is a bit of a stretch but i appreciate the thought nonetheless , ” eyes roll as they usually did in his company but the fond grin across his features indicates it was nothing more than a friendly action . he ponders over jin’s proposition for maybe three seconds before nodding in agreement , “ fine , lunch tomorrow , i get to pick the place though . ” kai glances over the drinks list behind he bar , eventually settling on a strawberry mojito and offering a thanks to the bartender as he leaves to prepare their drinks . “ did you get some good material from the lighthouse ? i’ve not been up there but the view must’ve been decent . ” eyes all but light up once his drink is placed in front of him , the coldness of the beverage hitting the back of his throat acting like a major wake up call . “ same as you , exploring the place . i swam with dolphins this afternoon , that’s something i think i’ll always remember . you should try it before we leave — have some fun . ”
