On a sleepless night, what would they be found doing?
Sleepless nights aren’t an unusual occurrence for him, so he’s developed a few nightly habits already. He battles the sleeplessness by spending his nights out in the city when he can, but on those days when work is only a few hours away and sleep just won’t come, Taemin usually spends at least an hour in bed just thinking. He thinks back to various events of the day and tries to coax himself into looking at them from different perspectives than his own, trying to work out more nuances to his life than there are already, but it eventually becomes too serious and boring to keep his attention. His brother usually receives a few either meaningless or sentimental texts — would you marry yourself if you could hyung??? do u think we’ll be able 2 do that in the future — and he sends a few to his friends to see if they’re awake, too.
Later on, he breathes out smoke by the window in his bedroom and breathes in the scent of his favourite tea a few minutes later, sipping at it while he listens to his favourite Pink Floyd album and tries to quiet his mind enough to finally fall asleep.
What are their creative outlets?
Taemin’s never been particularly creative beyond what goes on in his head, and his primary creative outlet these days is perhaps his own appearance. He tends to pay a lot of attention to make-up, accessories and colours, and can get very creative when it comes to dressing himself (or others) up.
Is there a certain scent that brings about nostalgia? If so, describe a memory this scent brings back.
In weak moments, the scent of the ocean brings him back to childhood trips with his family. It didn’t happen all that often, but every now and then his family would visit his grandparents in Busan, and the scent of the ocean brings back memories of running along the beach for as long as his legs could possibly carry him. In the end he was always dragged out into the water by his brother or his cousins to play some more; his chest heaving, cheeks flushing, and heart soaring in one of the purest forms of happiness he’s ever experienced.
