“take this?” it was barely a question, but ash wasn’t looking to come across like an entitled asshole demanding other people do things for him, so he lilted his voice up at the end and quirked the arch of one eyebrow a centimeter higher. he looked down at the flute of champagne he held out in his hand to the other person. “please.” don’t ask questions, his face said silently. he could very well get in trouble with the producers if they’d already had their one drink, but he’d plead ignorance if they tried to pull him aside and lecture him for breaking the well-established rules.
“i already had my one drink, but someone handed this off to me.” he hadn’t. “so please tell me you haven’t had yours yet.” it was more of a hint than a genuine request. “oh, and, uh, happy new year. got any big resolutions?”
open starter !
set: new year’s party, on january 2nd
joohwan hoped for nothing more than his manager to feel the stinky eye the younger man was directing towards him. it wasn’t enough that he had just flown back to south korea from the united states, no – joohwan had then been immediately taken to a hotel where he could just take a shower and change his clothes to then attend this party, which he cared very little for. it’s to help improve your image, his manager had said, as if joohwan’s image wasn’t as good as it gets. it had been so long since he had even remotely slipped publicly, he couldn’t even remember what having your name spoken of negatively even felt like. but apparently he wasn’t sociable enough, wasn’t putting himself out there enough, participating in variety shows enough. as if origin needed more promotion than it already had.
it was almost 11pm and hwan was counting down the minutes until it was acceptable for him to leave. he couldn’t be bothered to play nice anymore, hardly striking any conversations with people lest they think he was even remotely interested in what they had to say. hwan wasn’t even allowed to drink, which just made his mood turn even sour. and as the cameras were glued on all of them, he couldn’t even sneak out for a smoke. a terrible night, indeed. “ i’m willing to pay you anything if you grab a glass of champagne for me, because i already had one and they won’t let me get another. ”
Filming for the third and final filming block (episodes nine through fourteen) of Shared Home has begun! Below, you’ll find the tasks for this four week period. These four episodes will revolve around the main cast celebrating the holidays, opening up more to one another, and saying farewell.
This post is quite long, but it is divided into information for the main cast and information for muses not in the main cast, so that you can find the information most pertinent to your muse(s).
Reminder: Shared Home has begun airing on SBS. Cast members are allowed to share photos and posts on social media about the show, but since the show will be airing several weeks behind filming, they are not allowed to post any content that will spoil details of the events of the show.
Note: Since there are quite a few people on hiatus for the holidays, I’ve extended the deadline an extra week again for this block and spread the events of the block out over four weeks instead of three, so everyone will have four weeks to earn points.
As always for events, please don’t feel pressured to complete more than you’re able to. Main cast members are encouraged to try to do at least a thread or two per filming block, but you won’t be penalized if you’re not able to!
HOUSE INFORMATION | ROOMMATE INFORMATION
FOR MAIN CAST:
Shoot Week One & Two (Dec. 15 - 28):
On December 16 (at a time not conflicting with ISAC filming for applicable muses) , the cast members of each house will film the music video for a cast Christmas song with them singing the song in their respective cast house with their own house mates (like the linked music video, but interacting with the cameraperson around their assigned house) and in front of red and green colored backdrops. This means there will be two versions of both the song and music video: one for each house. Both videos will be released on December 23 as a promotion for Shared Home. Assume the song was recorded earlier around individual muse’s availability. There is no official canon line distribution for this song, but assume each muse recorded for the parts matching their position or soloist type and each muse gets at least one line in the final song with main positions and soloists generally getting more than sub-positions.
From December 22 through the end of filming, each house will be decked out in winter decorations. This will include a (fake) Christmas tree through December 31, at which point the tree will be removed from the house, though the general winter decorations with remain. The base of the decorations, including the Christmas tree, have been put up by production, but cast members are free to add additional decorations to their house.
During the shoot week of December 22 to December 28, cast members will have chance to have their family meet their housemates. All cast members with a parent or parents or other close relative (grandparent(s), aunt/uncle, siblings, etc.) living in Korea will have an optional invitation extended to have said relative visit the house with transportation paid for by production if necessary. The cast member will be aware if their family is coming at least a week beforehand, but the time will be kept secret to keep an element of surprise. For cast members with relatives living in Asia, but outside of Korea, the production budget will pay for up to two round trip economy class plane tickets to surprise a cast member. Cast members without any close relatives or without any close relatives within Asia will not be offered this chance, but are expected to be cordial to their house mates’ relatives if applicable. The invitation is free to be declined by the relative(s), though production will encourage their participation for the feel good content for the show.
Shoot Week Three (Dec. 29 - Jan. 4):
House One Only: On December 29th, all main cast members of House One who do not have other schedules will be filmed attending Lipstick’s Prima Donna encore concert at Olympic Gymnastics Stadium to support cast mate Minnie. Tickets in the VIP section and backstage passes have been arranged for all House One cast members free of charge through an agreement between BC Entertainment and SBS.
House Two Only: On December 29th, all main cast members of House Two who do not have other schedules will be filmed attending BEE’s Winter Party concert to support cast mate Jiah. Tickets in the VIP section and backstage passes have been arranged for all House Two cast members free of charge through an agreement between BC Entertainment and SBS.
On January 2, the two houses will throw a two part New Year’s party. This time, instead of decorating for their own party, each house will be tasked with going out and buying decorations for the other house. They will then be given two hours total on January 2 to decorate the other house while the other house’s residents are decorating theirs. Humorous results by way of tacky or comedic decorations are anticipated, but cast members may choose to play nice, too.
The party will begin at 9PM at House One before the whole cast and cameo guests move to House Two at 10:30PM to discover the decorations there as well and continue the party. Cameo guests still around will be asked to leave around midnight. This party will be less formal than the housewarming party during the first week of filming, in a way the producers hope will demonstrate the increased comfort between house mates. There will be wine and champagne available during the party in the spirit of the new year for cast members who would like it, but each cast member will be limited to one glass and production will intercede with anyone who tries to go overboard.
Shoot Week Four (Jan. 5 - 11):
The final week of filming is set to be a warm and sentimental one. On January 7, 9, and 10, different arrangements of volunteers (mixing those from both houses as well as cameo guests) will be tasked with delivering coal briquettes around neighborhoods outside of their own in need of them.
Cast members will also be tasked with writing a farewell letter to their house mates at the beginning of this week that they should complete and pin to a cork board in the kitchen for their house mates to read by the end of the week. They will be filmed on their own reading the letter to the camera, which will likely be used as narration, but they are not required to read the letter directly to their house mates themselves unless they wish to.
The last task the cast members will be given will be to show at least one of their housemates (though more is encouraged) a place or activity close to their heart. A dancer might take their housemate(s) to the dance studio to film a segment or someone who has fond memories of visiting Everland as a kid may take their housemate(s) there. The only places explicitly off limits are locations that are not family friendly and, in order to maintain the concept of everyone being house mates, the cast member’s house or dorm are also off limits. Each cast member will film a short solo visit to said location or doing said activity before taking anyone there.

hi, hello, i have returned from falling off the face of the planet. had a family emergency on top of finals and life was a mess but now it is somewhat sorted and i am back! i’m gonna respond to stuff that my kids had pre-disappearance but if you’d rather re-plot or not continue something at all, that’s cool. also my children are running low on threads so this is a plot call for them (including shared house stuff for mav)! just like this and i’ll come around to visit your ims or discord eventually
Premise: A letter to all her shared house mates, short or long, personalised because joo wanted it to be ;;; | youngjoo would have written encouragement notes + made origami flowers for her housemates everyday, esp for those who have schedules and are busy, and her gift for them before they leave would have been a lightly scented candle of the scent she thought suited them, as well as a small recorded composition piano piece of music that she composed herself to fit what she saw of their personality
A/N: tagging all RELATED pple adfdfjkj...and i hope yall don’t mind that i took a little liberty >< with how they might have interacted! @fmdminhee, @fmdjoosung, @fmdmaverick, @fmdhyejung, @fmdyena, @fmdsooyeon
Dear Minnie,
i am definitely going to miss you when we part from the shared house! it was wonderful being your roommate, even though sometimes i might have been overbearing in scenting candles and cleaning your things in the room since i can’t stand everything being in a mess.
thank you for being so patient with me, and so so kind. thank you for listening to me on the nights even when you were tired and sleepy. did you know that lavender helps you sleep? i kept putting on the lavender scented candles in our room because i thought you needed the sleep. you always seem so tired since your schedule is busy after all...
i hope i had been a great roommate to you, because you definitely were a great roommate for me!
yours truly,
joojoo :D
...
Dear Sung,
😍😘🥰😎! ....did i do the emojis right this time?
please continue being the bright sun that shines down on us all the time hehe. sometimes even i admire your tenacity and ability to continually be optimistic and happy all the time...ahhh haaa...how do you do it...
you’re one of the most amazing people that i’ve met. your energy, your kindness, and your EMOJIS-- 🤣 you definitely show me a whole new world of it.
lets keep in contact, okay? 🥺
yours truly,
youngjoo 🤧
...
Dear Mav!
why are you so tall T-T
why are you still so tall T-T
i think my neck hurts all the time from looking up at you since i was born short, but you keep amazing me with your talent with singing and the guitar and piano! i mean--- even i couldn’t just listen once to something and play it T-T it takes me a long while to even make sure that i compose everything well and correctly for my songs.
also! YOUR DANCING IS ALRIGHT! AT LEAST YOU’RE BETTER THAN ME! at least..you don’t trip over your own two feet all the time even while walking ╥﹏╥
i know this might be a wishful thinking on my part but....if you ever want to! only if you ever want to! i hope we’d get to collaborate something in the future! whether it be in singing or in compositions for each other, i do hope our future career paths meet! :o
yours truly,
youngjoo
...
Dear Hye-jung,
can you be one of the people that gives me some of your height T-T
and your dancing skills?
at least so that i don’t trip over my feet all the time...
ah but that’s selfish of me hahhh--i do hope that whatever may come in the future, nothing ever gets you down! whatever people say, always know that you’re special, and always know that they’ve never seen the best side of you.
the eyes of people and the public are naturally blind, only because they truly just want to see what they want and what they need to believe. i’m glad you finally found a place that you are comfortable and have debuted in!
i hope we stay in contact, and maybe...maybe--just maybe because fuck gold star and what they do :D
we can have a collaboration some day down the road?
yours truly,
joo
...
Dear Yena,
can i call you that?
hm..what should i say now...sadly enough, i don’t think we interacted enough, and that was partially my lazy fault. you probably saw me lazing around on the yoga mats, half asleep or cooking in the kitchens rather than talking to people, and i hope that hasn’t been a factor to make you think badly of me.
we’ve been housemates for more than a few weeks, and i hope you didn’t mind me or thought that i was a little busybody cleaning up occasionally your room! i’m not as busy as most of you are, so i did think that i should have put my effort into making things that yall could enjoy. like cooking, or cleaning up!
small little things, that would make your day better ahaha.
also, i hope the small post it notes and flowers of encouragement you received helped too to make your day a little brighter!
yours truly
youngjoo ^^
...
Dear Vivienne,
after a couple of weeks of being housemates with you--can i just say that hearing your guitar sounds at 2am just makes me happy, because well, as busy as you are, you’re back home, even if its a temporary home.
please take care of yourself! i know wish definitely has a lot of schedules, and you’ve been flying everywhere, but i do hope you’re getting enough rest as well!
also--if you’re ever willing to come out for a drink ( • ̀ω•́ )✧ call me out even if my alcohol is kinda.. trash. we can get drunk all we like at my apartment whether its day or night. its the company that counts after all.
i hope you like the aroma candle scent that i chose for you! take care of yourself and...message me!
contains : two small girls ‘volunteer’ by carrying heavy coal around.
with : @fmdsooyeon
word # : 363
being on camera isn’t jiae’s favorite thing. it’s why she didn’t bother to volunteer in any capacity when they were casting for shared home. she wasn’t like soojin, she didn’t like to act. she wasn’t like sooyeon with her flourishing solo career. she was just jiae of wish, and she preferred it that way. anyone who knew her knew that she wasn’t one of those girls who had always dreamed of becoming an idol or famous by any means. she only did it to escape the family she had been born into. but it had all worked out for the best; overall she was happy with where she was and the people this industry had brought into her life. so when bc entertainment scheduled her for an appearance on the show, she didn’t complain. as usual, she did what they demanded asked of her, not a sarcastic comment in sight.
it’s easy at this point to flip the switch and become the jiae the public expects. she’s quieter, smiles more, and has mastered the cute, albeit fake, giggle. it’s even easier around sooyeon. over the years, all the girls had learned each other’s strengths and weaknesses, and how to support each other. it’s no doubt a part of the reason they had such success. they played well off of each other and this was no exception. this type of moment was a dream for the company and group: a selfless act of volunteering.
“ soo, these are heavy ! ” there was a look of disbelief on jiae’s face as she pretended to struggle slightly with the coal the two were carrying around. in reality, she considered herself pretty athletic and had little trouble carrying heavy things. “ it is nice to be able to get out like this and give back, though . ” there needed to be a counter so she didn’t sound too much like she was complaining. “ we should do this more often. then we can build muscle and help others ! ” the actual jiae was cringing on the inside at her own words. it was all carefully calculated to give the world the image of this sweet, perfect girl. far off from who she actually was.
a farewell letter to house two housemates ⏤ fmdsh3.
pinned to a cork board, a bright piece of people with pretty writing, and lots of different things decorate it. you pass it, stopping to read it to see what exactly it says. the obvious farewell letter reads:
hello housemates!
i didn’t want to start off this letter with a goodbye because no one likes goodbyes, right? we’ve had a lot of fun together, a brand new chapter for all of us in friendships and a different experience. i think instead of saying goodbye, farewell, and any type of ending greeting - we should start the farewell with a hello! hello to new friendships with one another, hello to stronger bonds with old friends, hello to knowledge from a new experience. did you have as fun as i did? i really hope so! i hope you can walk away from this with having a fun time from this! having fun is what always counts the most!
it was really great getting to make food for everyone a lot! i really hope you enjoyed my meals! though, i’m not sure if that’s going to help with my problem of over making food, since i’m still doing it living alone, because i’m so used for cooking for all the knight members, even after no longer living in the dorms! i’m sure i’ll get it soon, oopsies! there was a lot of different things we got to do, like bowling! which i wasn’t the best at, but it was still a lot of fun! thank you for doing a lot of fun things with me, i really enjoy it!
i hope we all get to hang out again! don’t be afraid to ever call me if you need help with something or if you just want to chat! please stay warm with the upcoming winter and take good care of yourself!
though hyeju was never involved with shared house herself, she felt like she was with how often she was either at the filming or she was involved with their activities. sbs decided it would be a great idea to bring minhee’s house members to her concert, and so she had to put on a smile and act like she was happy to have a bunch of cameras shoved at her face after finishing a concert. there were a few familiar faces that she genuinely was happy to see, but she could have taken a text message over this face-to-face act for the show.
sneaking up to sooyeon from behind, she threw an arm around the younger female’s shoulder and pulled her in close for a tight hug. “did you come to see me?” batting her eyes for a few seconds, she released her into a more loose stance, trying her best to stay behind the cameras. the crew was busy filming minhee with some of the other cast members. she would have to appear in front of the cameras at one point or another, but that could wait.
