Dine In

[taehpj-blog]

@taehpj

After an early morning of rehearsal then live recordings, you can bet money that Hyejung was dying from hunger. Sure, fans gave idols the good stuff and they fed the backup dancers too which Hyejung was entirely grateful for the fans supplying food, don’t get her wrong. However, Hyejung’s love for food almost matches her love for dancing. Although it was delicious, it wasn’t enough.

As she left the broadcasting stationg, she immediately began heading over to her favorite restaurant, where her favorite waiter worked at. Thanks to one of the dance students, who was quite possibly hitting on her, she had feel in love with a family owned restaurant nearby. Not only was the food unique and delicious, the waiter that first greeted her quickly befriended her. Her first meal turned into what felt like an hour long interaction with her waiter, talking about everything and anything. Luckily, it wasn’t busy and Hyejung made sure to only visit during the slow times, so that Tae never got in trouble. It might be his job, but Hyejung never wanted to intrude and possibly get him fired.

After her first meal, she slowly tried almost everything on the menu and began stopping by two times a week without realizing it. Whether it be dine in or take out, she made sure Tae was the person to help her. Comeback season always caused her to come around less frequently, but every time she came back Tae never seemed to forget her.

It was the early afternoon, right when people went back to work and restaurants were empty after the lunch rush, prime time for Hyejung to visit.

As she entered, she greeted the workers and quickly sat in her favorite two-seater table by the window that overlook the street.

She heard one of the workers call for Tae to come out and before she could even look over the familiar menu, he appeared in front of her, with a puppylike smile.

“I know it’s been a minute since I’ve been here. What would you recommend goes well with a lemonade? Also, how’s school going?” she laughed.

tae knew peak hours like the back of his hand. he caught on quickly to the times when he first started working at the restaurant until now. the busier the restaurant gotten, the faster the time went by. he would see all sorts of people, and even some he’d gotten close with due to his amount of talking with his customers, and whatnot. though, he didn’t necessarily like the rush, he did like the amount of time that went by and when it was over he was more than ecstatic to take that few minute break. in the midst of downing a drink he fixed for himself while leaning on one of the tables in the back area he had heard another waiter call him to tell him a customer wanted to see him. for tae it wasn’t much of a surprise, most people would sometimes request waiters, and though he was a bit sadden that the few minutes he gotten to himself was long over, he still kept a smile upon his face and went out to see who the customer was. 

upon walking out from the back, he couldn’t help but smile even more to see it was a customer whom he befriend over time. she didn’t come often as she was mostly busy with her dancing, or at least that’s what he’d been told. so, seeing the older female looking over the menu in her usual spot, tae did not take anymore time to make his way over to her. 

when he arrived at her table, he made sure to greet her in order to get her attention. the words she spoke he could agree upon them. it had truly been a long time since he’d seen the female back in this restaurant, and as always she would come when it was less busy at the eatery that way he would have more time to talk with her, and not get in a load of trouble. 

“ it’s been too long, noona. ” tae started, a small laugh emitting from his lips before leaning over a bit, and flipping a page on her menu to show what foods followed along with her request. “ of course, you don’t want anything traditional as that wouldn’t settle well with your stomach. so, something filling would probably be a burger and fries, chicken strips, or the classic korean bbq. those are just my opinions though i say samgyeopsal, galbi those types of foods i would have. ” he mentioned to the older, pointing at the different food choices that would go with her choice of drink that he’d already written down on his pad just in case. 

“ though, school is going just great. my grades are still up you know that scholarship is very important to me. how’s dancing? you seem more busy these days, you don’t come back as often as you used too... ”

"Did you by any chance leave me that 7 minute long voicemail of you running and constantly tripping into bushes?”

@hpjhyejung sent a meme from this source ; closed

his gaze moved to the female before him, and soon he looked away not being able to meet up with her gaze. what an embarrassment for him to be reminded of someone’s dog on the loose that decided to play fetch with him -- literally. so, in the midst of calling hyejung he ended up tripping as he was trying to run away from the dog at the same time he was trying to call the older female. 

“ listen there’s a perfectly logical explanation as to why that was seven minutes long, and why i was running and tripped into the bushes. ” tae rambled along, his face heating up as he tried to tell the older. really he didn’t like being put in these kinds of situations where he was called out on the spot about his misfortunes. also, the fact that a rather large crowd had witness him being chased and did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to stop the dog from running after him. tae wouldn’t be surprised if there was a video of him landing right into the bushes after trying to jump over them.

with a heavy sigh, tae looked at the female quickly before going back to his drink that was settled in front of him. being in the small cafe where they would sometimes meet when she wasn’t visiting at the restaurant he could say it gave him a rather warm feeling, but right now there was a lot of awkward tension lingering in the air as he wished the female would’ve disregarded that voicemail and not utter a word about it.

“ i was chased by a dog okay... ” tae mumbled.

- ̗̀ familiar somewhere  ̖́-

@sojinhpj​

it was the last day of the festival, and tae could conclude that he’d enjoyed his time listening to the music that was played, and taking part of the other things they had in part of the festival. 

he was making his way home as he decided that since it was the last day he wouldn’t stay out too late as things were more repetitive from the last two days. so, as he was walking down the road on the mid-evening, feeling it was better to leave during that time then when it was night time, he could see that other people possibly had the same notion as he did. at this point ( with all the walking, and being in contact with so many people ) all tae wanted to do was hop into the shower, and go to sleep. many people would think this was an early time for anyone to head in when there was so much left to do, but organizing for the festival, attending the festival, and basically doing his own thing was rather tiresome to say the least. 

as his legs continue to bring him to the familiar path of his apartment, he noticed someone who was walking in the general direction as he was. this wasn’t something unlikely as there were quite the number of people who lived in the same complex as he did. it was just the sole fact that he would look like he was following her when he really wasn’t that would possibly make things a bit awkward -- especially at this time.

it was when he gotten to the his apartment that he began to grow a bit suspicious. maybe she lived on the same floor as he, and this was his first time seeing the female. though when she stopped at his door, tae could only raise a brow towards the female, and approach her.

“um, i’m sorry ma’am are you looking for someone?” he asked not exactly sure who she was. though, he wouldn’t be surprised if she was looking for jungkook as it seem that people he’d never met before somehow got into his apartment without jungkook actually being in there. the more he looked at the other, the more he could kind of see some familiarity of her features. it was a possibility that he’d caught a glimpse at the female before, but he wasn’t sure so, his curiosity had gotten the best of him.

“ do you by chance.... well, are you looking jungkook by chance? ”

@hpjestella

one thing tae learned from the festival is that not many people were around during the day. sure there were some good performances, stalls to grab something to eat ( which he spent over 50% of his time at, and other things to do while you wait for the next band to get set up. being one that helped out with the decorations, he was quite impressed how everything was falling together, and though he was entertained in a way the most seemed to take place during the night time. 

he had long parted ways with haein as he decided to stay out a while longer since he was off for the next two days. he decided to make the most of the festival as it was possibly the biggest thing going around in hapjeong, sangsu, and hongdae. 

being of age had a lot of perks, and tae always seemed to take advantage of it even if he ended up in some of the most shitty situations. it was one drink after the other, and he had no plans on stopping. he could feel the alcohol seeping through causing that tingling feeling inside of him that indicated that he was getting to that point of being tipsy. as the beat blasted throughout the bar in the middle of hongdae, was making his way through the crowd, bobbing his head to the music until he bump into someone. 

though the person didn’t look anything korean, he manage to say sorry in korean before realizing that maybe the female didn’t speak korean at all. therefore he ended up saying it once again in english as if he knew how to speak on lick of it.

- ̗̀  a day out  ̖́-

@hpjhaein

the set up came out better than tae expected. seeing as this was a grand time where people of hapjeong would come out to listen to live indie music, he was happy to see that people actually attended. he ended up helping with most of the work, gaining some extra money for his time which he wasn’t complaining about as he was doing something that he loved to do, and getting paid for it. 

it was the first day of the festival, and tae decided to meet up with someone for the day. so, here he was waiting for the other to show up. it wasn’t long before he could see a familiar figure walking his way. it wasn’t that she was late, he was just really early due to his excitement about the festival -- tae was such a kid at heart. with a slightly widen smile, he stood up from where he was seated, and met the female halfway. 

“ noona! ” 

he spoke as he bounced towards her, wrapping an arm around her shoulder. “ are you ready to check this festival out? ”

ill noise

[taehpj-blog]

hpjinna:

how to have a good morning: have an insane night. have a hysterical night of frenzy. down all the drinks like they’re not poison for you or your liver and lose yourself to incessant music and heated crowds. kiss a boy or two, leave them wanting more. steal someone’s door knob, draw a dick on an unconscious someone’s face, cheer at everything the people hail. idolize yourself in a space where there is no cognizance and reality is an augmented mess you can reign. wake up with a void replacing your mind, migraines instead of memories and realize the sentiment is meant to be sarcastic all along.  

the painkillers better be in the bedside drawer, she slurs this, voice barely audible as she fights to regain the breaths she’d lost to the flight of stairs. inna is still heaving while twitching fingers struggle to unlock the front door to her apartment, lipstick-smeared mouth firing a discreet string of cusses before she succeeds. immediately, a foolish grin of triumph is worn, and she steps into the comforts of home with hopes of finding the cure to the persistent throb present in her head. however, the intolerable silence presented by the idle morning convinces her to change the despised circumstances (oh, how badly she hates quietude), so she begins to sing zealously, if not deafeningly.

it’s just unfortunate she doesn’t have the gift for it. 

“LIKE A VIRGIN, TOUCHED FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME—”

a day off, a time just for himself besides the fact that he was now sharing his apartment with someone else now. tae was sprawled on his bed, indulged in a deep sleep still lingering from last night. it was as if not a sound could wake up from his slumber, but he was incredibly wrong about that. the sound was muffled, but it was enough to waken him out of his sleep as he sat up, and looked around. of course someone belting the words to madonna’s like a virgin so early in the morning could only mean one thing; that annoying ass neighbor was back, and possible drunk or whatever tagged with her from yesterday.

tae looked over at the time that was displayed on the digital clock on his dresser. the time shown seven in the morning, and about that time tae mentally cried that someone would do that to him so early in the morning. the worst thing about all of this was that it could be heard mostly in his room, and with that he reluctantly moved from his comfortable bed to get the broom that he used almost everyday to bang on his ceiling to get the other to shut up.

you would think as many times as he put in complaints they would have done something about the annoying tenant that sung terribly so early in the morning, but yet she was still doing the same thing more often than usual. 

“ aish... i wish she be quiet. ” tae complained, running his fingers through his hair as he gave off an annoyed sigh.

sorry i’ve been away things got a little busy, and real life took over. so, i’m going to be putting out some random starters based on the event. the limit is three. so, just like this post and the first three will get a starter the following i’ll just come to you for plotting.

“you a sell-out?” he scoffs at the thought. he once thought that he was a sell-out for pursuing the idol life path instead of clawing his way through the underground. being an idol didn’t work out very well with him barely making it past his trainee period, yet it didn’t stop his now former friends from dragging his name through the mud. “does it matter how you get somewhere as long as you get where you’re going? i don’t think you’re a sell-out.”

he smiles reassuringly, throws an arm over tae’s shoulder and casually clinks their glasses together. “if i was a rich man, i’d buy your art. m’not so that’s bit tough. you’ll catch your break someday, taehyungie!” 

he scoffs towards what the other tells him. he felt like a sell-out at that moment, and that was only him being overdramatic because his work wasn’t selling as he wanted it to be. he just need a little more money to give him that cushion he needed so that he didn’t feel like he was living off of paycheck to paycheck. of course, he loved his job at the restaurant but a waiter’s life was about the hardest he’d endure so far. as well as juggle school work to maintain his scholarship, and working it wasn’t a surprise for tae to be as stressed as he was. 

with a small sigh, he rest his head against the bar’s counter, and looked at the male for a brief moment. “ you’re just being nice that’s all. ” tae started, not believing what the other said -- as always. “ i don’t know if it’s the alcohol talking or you, but suddenly you’re sounding more wise than you usually come across. ” tae spoke, blinking slowly towards the other male as he sat up again. he took his glass, finally downing his drink and sliding it to the bartender to refill his cup. 

if he was rich he wouldn’t have to worry about having people to buy his artwork. maybe he should work on just being one of those famous artist so that he can just get the royalties of each painting that’s sold. that way he wouldn’t have to worry so much about juggling work, and school he could just paint until he was no longer able too. “ but you’re not rich, and you won’t buy none of my artwork. i even go to your little street performance things you can at least buy one painting hyung. ” tae spoke with a small pout before he down the drink as quick as it was given to him. 

“ another one bartender! ” he called out, sure enough knowing he would be regretting the decision of the drinks he was going through like water the next day.

@hpjlauren

murmurs of excitement fills the streets of hapjeong. a music festival is coming to town. as much as this excited tae, as he loved to go to music shows as well as watch them on his laptop to help cheer on his favorite groups on when he couldn’t actually be there. so, have some new genre of music would actually be quite entertaining to him in a way. also, not to mention that his friend who is in the same classes as he band is also playing. he could say that he would definitely be there for support. 

classes had just ended, and the professor was going on about the announcements of the event that everyone seemed to be talking about. it was something about extra work -- which was all that tae gotten before he actually started paying attention to what the professor was telling him. tae was definitely in need of some extra money, and what was better than to get it while doing something that he loved doing. so, he found that the art students as well as the graphic design students would get together, and help with the decorations of the festival that was to happen in a few days. of course, it was optional but tae didn’t hesitate to take part of this little extra work as well as his classmate, and friend who he found out later would also be working on the decorations as well. 

“ lauren! ” he called out, waving over to the female as he made his way over. “ did you hear about the festival, and making some extra money decorating? you’re doing it too right? especially since your band is gonna be in the festival as well. ” he spoke, asking to get some verification about what she was going to be doing. 

“ we should work together! i think i could come up with some kind of design to incorporate your band in there too. decoration, and advertisement at its finest. ” tae said with a grin.

DAYTIME. when the streets are busy, and the exciting to low murmurs of chatting can be heard from every direction. the children, to older individuals roam the streets of hapjeong to take on the stores, and shops the town has to offer. there’s something to do always if you make the most of it. that’s what tae was planning on doing, but in a different approach. 

since it was one of his days off, he decided on making a little extra money by selling his artwork as well as doing painting and such for other people. he sets up his up his canvas, and a display of all his work in an area that would give him enough space for people not to accidentally kick or step on his work that would make him a profit -- hopefully. this was considered on of his most easier jobs as all he had to do was sit back, and wait for someone to come. though, since he had the type of personality to talk to anyone he would also suggest some of his drawings to random passer-byers whom would take an interest in what was displayed as they walked by. he could say he wasn’t do extremely bad as he had gotten a few to buy his work. really, he just needed the extra money to pay rent, and other things that were considered a necessity to him ( i.e art supplies ).  

as he continued to wait, tae would find himself drawing in the process. in the midst of him finishing the sketching of his work, his attention was moved from the canvas to the person looking his pieces. with a smile, tae did not hesitate to speak to the other. “ hello, do you find anything you like? ” he spoke looking at the other who was still looking through each painting quietly. it wouldn’t be a lie if tae wasn’t thrilled to see people stopping, and looking ( even if they didn’t by anything ). so, he continued to speak when the other replied back, asking for the prices. 

“ the large paintings are 20,000₩, and the medium to smaller ranges from 10,000₩ to 5,000₩. ”
