˟ CURRENTLY   、

listening to   —   do re mi by blackbear. movie   —   fractured. watching   —   street food videos. obsessed with   —   trying to get back to ‘normal.’ craving   —   honey lemon aloe vera drink.

˟  🔓 NEW DEVELOPMENTS   、

#001.   —    5, 6, 7월   ;   a blur, plotting tba because please help me make his life a mess 

#002.   —    8월   ;   he reaches a point of self-awareness. at least, to some extent, to some degree of i need to fix this but also i need to figure out what the hell is going on. a secret he’s slowly beginning to uncover, he’s more than willing to use his connections if need be. not knowing the truth is turning him inside out. 

BONUS: he’s gone silver in the more recent months and has kept it for now but the coach still hates it, comments on it despite being out of season, and chanyeol is considering going back to a ‘natural’ hair color but where’s the fun in that?

˟  RECENTLY SPOTTED  、

rec center / gym ( lots of weight training, u feel? ) 

baseball fields

inguk library ( finally getting back to business ey )

tiger’s den

 club insomnia 

social club parties, sometimes 

˟  RUMOR HAS IT   、

" did you hear he slept with _______ ”

“ he’s taking students again. who would pay for him to tutor them anymore? ”

“ are you sure he’s pre-med? ”

“ i heard he almost lost his co-captain title ” 

“ he’s really in helio? ”

but truth is always subjective, isn’t it? 

[sgnchanyeol]

✦ ; beautiful night

          prime time. show time. a good time. he has all these terms for it and the promise of more despite knowing hyungwon doesn’t want to be here. in all technicality, chanyeol’s not that fond of this type of arrangement either. he thinks dating ought to be a bit more organic but, then again, he’s not really looking to date these days. ( is he? truthfully, he himself isn’t sure; not sure of much anyway ) either way, he’s still eager enough to keep pushing quite literally at hyungwon’s back to make sure his friend doesn’t try to ditch last-minute. okay, so maybe he doesn’t think hyungwon would actually run out but he’s amused just the same, clapping a hand on the other’s shoulder once they’re waiting their turn to speak to the host about the private room his teammate rented, leaning in with a cheeky grin. “ you still haven’t told me, you know. ”

          brows wiggling, he gives the shoulder he’s holding onto a light squeeze, tilting his head and lifting a brow. “ you gotta keep me updated so i can help you out. ” a soft exhale and he’s letting go of hyungwon’s shoulder, hand running through silver hair with a chuckle. “ so, what is it? a possible relationship or more of a one-night kinda deal? i don’t judge, just to clarify. you already know that but just confirming for ya. ” then again, he realizes he doesn’t think he’s asked hyungwon about preferences or his type. what chanyeol does know for certain is that hyungwon oughta get out more. that’s the first attained goal of the night. // ✦ ; @sgnwonnie

chanyeol’s “preparing for summer” routine 💦💦💦

[sgnconfessions]

why does chanyeol seem like he’s going through a midlife crisis at any given minute

[sgnchanyeol]

✦ ; take your pick

          one of the main reasons he didn’t officially join guitar club— or a number of others for that matter— is because he didn’t consistently have the time to do so. perhaps if he set aside the time the way he did for his tutoring sessions but between that, baseball practices, and helio, he didn’t think it feasible if he wanted to sleep at least a few hours. then again, he’s been replacing those few hours of sleep for something far more toxic. poison in his system if he was being honest and yet he continues. 

          but when one gets the chance to trade lessons and tips with someone as brilliant as riya? ‘course he makes the time then. even if the case feels light against his back, more used to the weight of his backpack and gym bag than this, the strings need tuning, and the pick almost slips from his hand when he’s not being careful. least he got the tuning done in time for riya to arrive to the room he booked, grinning at the sight of her. “hey, you came. thought you might’ve stood me up,” but his smile gives him away; he would never genuinely expect that of her.  // ✦ ; sgnxriya

❝ — refresh, ★°。

sgnyoohyeon​:

✦ — but then he takes her by the arm, touches her, and it almost feels like freshman year all over again, a sharp rise in nostalgia, the elevated heart rate, the vaguely tinted cheeks, as if the mere weeks they’d gone without seeing each other had reset everything she’d worked so hard to build up. it nearly causes her to withdraw from him in surprise, but she manages to maintain her composure in the end, keeping a smile on her face despite it all. “you should,” she says with a cough, rolling the luggage behind her, bringing it to a stop once she’s inside. “i bet you wouldn’t be able to out run me, though. i can tell when you’re around. it’s my chanyeol senses.”

she bends at the waist to feel around in her luggage, making sure nothing spills over and out as she slowly unzips the bag. she’s careful and meticulous about it, but it all works out in the end, an array of plastic and glass containers, as well as repurposed jars. “i know my mom loves you, but the issue here is you think she loves you more and the answer is no,” she says, even with all the different side dishes and meats are on display for him to see. “but i will admit that you’re almost on the same level as me. and she definitely loves youngjin more than the both of us combined.”

          " yeah, giraffes are cute. ” the rest doesn’t have to be said. shouldn’t have to be, yet the implication is louder this time around and it’s painfully hilarious how he can manage to flirt shamelessly at parties these days but can’t say anything directly to yoohyeon now. freshman year, he wasn’t this at a loss for words. over the years, he became more comfortable complimenting her, dragging her to places as a ‘date,’ so why is he like this now? the answer lingers in the air, is stifling, and he pretends he can breath just fine on his own as he ignores it yet again. 

          “ yeah? you really think you could challenge me again? miss kim yoohyeon, who faked an injury to get me coming back and having to carry her to the pizza place. i don’t think so, ” he chuckles lowly, shaking his head at the thought. but it does beg the question, who’s better between the two of them at running away from their problems? still him, isn’t it?  “ chanyeol senses. what can you sense? where am i? we should test it. wanna play hide and seek? ” though he looks to the luggage, and while burying the thought that he hides enough from her as it is, he turns to look at her with a grin. “ after putting the food away, of course. ”

          rolling his eyes at her adamant refusal that her mother loves him most. i mean, come on,  the answer is obvious. “ you can deny it all you want but she does. i know she does. moms love me. ” maybe not the current him but that’s not the point. yoohyeon’s mother doesn’t have to see how he’s been behaving lately. “ almost, ” he scoffs, leaning against the fridge before he pulls away to open it, checking if he has enough room. it wasn’t too long ago that he cleared it out anyway. “ oh hey, that’s not fair. youngjin’s in a different catagory. leave him out of this. keep the fight fair. ” with a step closer, he starts moving some of the containers around, seeing what order he ought to put them away in with a slight laugh. “ you know, you and your mom could warn me that she’s about to take over my entire fridge. i should go visit though . . . speaking of, she did call me the other day but not this food. wanna guess why? ”

Sometimes, I feel the past and the future pressing so hard on either side that there’s no room for the present at all.

what is your favorite flavor of tea?

“ positivi-tea? ” raising his brows, he laughs, wetting his lips as he tilt his head. “ kidding.” he scratches at the underside of his jaw as he considers it. so many puns, so little time. “ seriously speaking, probably green tea. it’s good for the metabolism, yeah? but i like honey aloe vera tea too. ” he’d probably prefer it without tea and with lemon instead but refreshing either way. 

[sgnchanyeol]

Will we ever be okay?

‘  is there a reason we shouldn’t be?  ’ is what he wants to respond. so she has to acknowledge what happened, the way she led him on, the rejection, the betrayal. because she seems just fine, doesn’t she? still with jongin despite the rumors flying around and perhaps it’s still an open wound that she is; that instead of dating him years ago, she’s still with someone who treats her in such an unappealing way. 

“ if that’s what you want. ” now, that is a question he never got to ask her anyway. is this what she wants? is that what she wants in a guy? in a relationship? what is okay anyway? 

what should their relationship be called when he thought he could see a future with her and the vision shattered the moment she saw him kissing jongin? in the moment that she left without a word in the same manner? she’s with jongin, so why does he matter? 

“ tell me though. you okay? you good? ” because it sure doesn’t seem like it. he didn’t believe the girl he liked back then could be the type and he doesn’t fully believe it now. maybe he never knew the real yoori after all. 

[sgnchanyeol]

what do you really think of me?

“pretty straightforward of ya to ask, isn’t it?” but he doesn’t blame her for it, for wanting clarification, a direct answer compared to what he’s been giving her. in his defense— no, that’s not right. there is no defending it. anything he did, everything he did, if he really were to pursue sian, he gave her too many reasons to doubt him, to question him, to be upset with him or jealous. 

it reminds him of the argument they’d had in her room when he stopped by, thinking she was sick. the more he thinks back to it, maybe she was sick of his actions then, sick of being confused. for that reason alone, he doesn’t understand why she bothers with him at all anymore. 

“ i think that i shouldn’t answer that for both of our sakes. ” after the summer, wouldn’t it just confuse her again? bring her back into his mess of a life again when she deserves better. it’s enough that he pushes yoohyeon away. enough that he doesn’t answer his father properly. he’s done enough. that’s what he thinks. he looks at sian and thinks. actually, he knows he’s done enough to hurt her. 

“ i think, ”  i messed up again. waited too long to ask someone out again.  “ there’s no one like you. i’m bad at descriptions. ask me something else? ”

[sgnchanyeol]

favorite song to listen to on a rainy day?

“i used to like listening to songs like ‘cable car’ or ‘sunday morning’ on rainy days. ah, wait, no, more like i used to like playing ‘em myself. then i got used to playing all the nursery songs the twins could request. lullabies and children’s songs. if i had to choose a recent song? probably ‘let’s drink’ by giriboy.” the title itself feels too on the dot but, though he hadn’t meant it that way, if the shoe fits. 

[sgnchanyeol]

what are 3 values that you appreciate the most?

ordinarily, he would he able to answer this no problem. he should have an immediate answer for it but what can he say now without being hypocritical? the values he strives to always have: family, happiness, responsibility. but he’s avoiding his family to an extent, chasing a superficial idea of happiness most of the time now, and just barely has a grasp on all of his responsibilities. ah, wait, it’s values he appreciates. does that change things? even appreciation, he thinks he’s lacking. 

“compassion, leadership, and, ah, respect. that’s a big one. not enough of it out there.” at least he’s got that much going for him. as much as he’s let go of, he likes to think he’s maintaining some level of respect. at the very least, he’s working on it.

Chanyeol properly explaining, why we find his hands attractive ✧ 1st Look TMI Interview

[sgnchanyeol]

✦ ; never the bride

          he doesn’t remember what led to him being there. there’s also the question of why jongin and why does he suddenly feel a sense of companionship between them. could be the alcohol talking, could be the alcohol they drank together. yeah, that’s probably it. because connecting jongin to his reputation on campus, one that not only precedes him but is proven in some of his actions which is what chanyeol typically cares about most over rumors, and connecting him to this sense of amusement and playfulness he feels now is oddly placed. 

          it isn’t like him and that could be the point of it all. who better to not be himself with than one of the so-called devils on campus? a last-minute invitation to a wedding, though it doesn’t seem to be so last-minute for jongin. he swears, would be certain if he wasn’t drunk, that he saw jongin with the bride before the wedding. oh, or was it a bridesmaid. he should’ve knocke— no, wait, he swears the door was wide open when he turned that corner but that’s too shameless. then again, could be perfectly normal for the guy next to him now as the ceremony comes to an end. “ so, uh, ” he leans closer. “ who do you know here again? ”
