hc; taemin getting excited/emotional/worked up when he’s talking, and his hand movements start going wild and mad he’s just a street rat tryna make a point !! but doesn’t have the cognitive finesse to get it all out cohesively, or in bigger words so he kinda just punctuates everything with “y’know?” even when he doesn’t know
