suit & tie
@avcopycat
formal wear has always been one of the things sungjin hated. it was hot, hard to move in, and his dress shirt’s collar always felt like it was suffocating him. don’t even get the boy started on shoes, he’s just happy he was able to wear his black high cut converse sneakers — something his father showed huge distaste of when he saw them.
he’s at one of the high profile parties his father always has to attend to. if there’s something he hates more than formal wear, these kinds of parties take the cake. everyone is so fake, everyone pretends they’re okay, pretends they’re having fun but really aren’t they just here to show off?
the redhead smiles awkwardly for the nth time as his father introduces him yet again to one of his many, many friends. they were a family, there were 2 teens just about his age if not older but their names didn’t stay, sungjin hasn’t really been listening. his old man boasts at them, tells them how well his boy was doing in school, tells them how he’s doing extracurriculars outside of school, tells them he can’t ask for a better more perfect son — lies, lies, lies, sungjin was none of that.
when the introductions are done and he feels as if he’s not needed in the conversation anymore his smile falters, falls. his father’s oh so loving arm slides away from his tiny frame as if the director had just said cut and continues to converse with the family. sungjin excuses himself with a bow, and trudges his way to the most secluded, most uncrowded area of the venue, setting himself down on one of the fancy sofas he’d rather not think the prices off.
he sighs deeply, adjusting his collar a bit making sure he’ll not die of loss of breath. sungjin just wants to get away from here, just wants to leave this place, just wants to be somewhere he could be himself and not some fake trophy his father could show off.
